Cassie Ventura and Alex Fine stepped onto the red carpet at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square. Fine plays Donnie on MobLand, making the premiere a notable outing for the couple.

The pair have remained mostly private since Ventura testified against Diddy in May 2025. The high-profile trial placed Ventura back into the public spotlight after years away from it.
Ventura has also moved outside the United States following the trial. "I reside outside of the United States," she said in a legal document obtained by E! News. She also stated, "I do not intend to move back to the United States."

Alex wore Saint Laurent Fall 2026, taking the cropped cable-knit sweater from the runway and giving it a much cleaner spin with wide-leg black trousers. I've been enjoying the collection's striped pieces on the red carpet, but I like that Alex didn't recreate the runway styling. The all-black palette puts the focus on the proportions, which is what makes this work for me.
Cassie opted for a Magda Butrym wool corset dress, and this is easily my favourite part of their couple's style moment. The precise darting and padded hips create that exaggerated hourglass silhouette the designer does so well, and you know I love a well-executed exaggerated silhouette.
The dress is so good that the shoes frustrate me even more. The bronze pointed-toe pumps with criss-cross ankle straps feel disconnected from the modernity of the silhouette. A pewter strappy sandal or mule would have been a much stronger finish and allowed the dress to have the final word.

Jenny McCarthy sparked a huge response from her followers when she unveiled a "natural" transformation on Wednesday – but it appears no one was as impressed as her husband, Donnie Wahlberg.
Of course, in Jenny's typical humor, there was nothing "natural" about the 50-year-old's makeover as she completely transformed herself into Dumbledore for Harry Potter night on 'The Masked Singer'.
Sharing a video on Instagram featuring her co-star, Nicole Scherzinger – who was dressed as Hermione – Jenny startled her followers when she suddenly appeared on screen in full costume that included long gray hair and a matching long beard. Check out the video below…
Captioning the hilarious clip, the TV star jokingly penned: "Went for a more natural look this week on maskedsingerfox. What do you think?"
Her followers were impressed with her commitment to the evening, with one commenting: "The way I just screamed and hollered has to be criminal!! Was not expecting that jump scare. You are freaking hilarious." A second said: "I never would've thought that you look so good even while wearing a beard."

This week, news came out that St. John’s incoming transfer Donnie Freeman will miss the entire 2026-27 season with an Achilles tear.
It is absolutely gut-wrenching for a young man who has already spent so much time on the trainer’s table. Seeing a player’s season end in July just sucks, man.
Freeman played in just 37 games over two seasons at Syracuse, battling foot/toe issues, before becoming one of the most prized recruits in the portal this spring. Heading down the stretch of his recruitment in April, the recruiting battle came down to Kentucky and St. John’s, and a rising price. Mark Pope, fresh off dealing with an oft-injured, big-time transfer of his own, decided to bow out.
It was a risk for Pope at the time. There were fewer frontcourt options available in the portal, and Freeman clearly fit a need for the Wildcats. But the price tag kept going up, the durability concerns lingered, and Rick Pitino ultimately won out.
Since the injury news broke, I’ve seen the argument floating around that Freeman’s Achilles tear justifies Pope’s decision to pass on him. Folks are treating it like Kentucky dodged a bullet.

NEW YORK (AP) — St. John's forward Donnie Freeman will miss next season with an Achilles injury after getting hurt during a workout this week.
It's a significant blow to the Red Storm, who landed Freeman in the transfer portal from Syracuse this offseason and were expecting him to be a top player on the 2026-27 team.
The rising junior was injured Monday and had surgery on his right Achilles tendon, the school announced Wednesday night.
“Donnie had a non-contact injury in a workout and will miss the season,” Hall of Fame coach Rick Pitino posted on social media. “Donnie is an awesome young man, we will get him back better than ever!”
The 6-foot-9 Freeman averaged 15.3 points and 7.5 rebounds in 37 games over two seasons at Syracuse. He was rated one of the nation's top recruits in the high school class of 2024.

There was a time it appeared Donnie Freeman was going to join Kentucky Basketball for the 2026-27 season.
However, an 11th-hour push from Rick Pitino led to Freeman ultimately signing with the St. John's Red Storm, a move that some thought could be a crippling blow to Mark Pope's career as head coach of the Wildcats, as he was enduring recruiting miss after recruiting miss early this offseason.
Thankfully, Kentucky rebounded to get other transfers like Justin McBride and Milan Momcilovic, along with international big man Ousmane N'Diaye, to potentially play the 4 spot next season.
And sadly, Freeman won't be playing at all after the Syracuse transfer suffered an Achilles injury during summer workouts, according to Pitino.
This is a brutal blow for the Johnnies, as Freeman was expected to have a major role next season and potentially become an All-American candidate after averaging 16.5 points and 7.2 rebounds last season.

The voice behind one of Disney's most beloved characters died at 35 after a hidden battle. Authorities confirmed Daveigh Chase's cause of death, shedding light on her struggles after leaving Hollywood.
The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner revealed Daveigh Chase's official cause of death as Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
The former child actress, legally named Daveigh Schwallier, died on June 16 at the age of 35. The medical examiner's report also notes "chronic polysubstance use" as a significant contributing condition. Authorities classified her death as natural, with Dr. Martina Kennedy overseeing the case.
Chase rose to prominence as the voice of Lilo in Disney's animated hit Lilo & Stitch. She also delivered a memorable performance as Samara in the 2002 horror classic The Ring. Her other credits included Donnie Darko, Big Love, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER, and Beethoven's 5th. Her last recorded role came in 2016 for the video game Let It Die.
Her boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, earlier informed TMZ that meningitis and a blood infection caused septic complications. "Behind the scenes, she's faced more than her share of hardship," he shared in a GoFundMe post. He further wrote, "After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA."

Daveigh Chase, the young actress best known for "The Ring" and "Lilo & Stitch," has reportedly died. She was 35.
According to TMZ, Chase died June 16 from meningitis and an infection in her blood, her boyfriend Roy Hernandez told the outlet. The outlet reports she was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital earlier this month for malnutrition.

Summer in Vegas looks different for everyone. Some find solitude relaxing at the hotel pools all day, while others spend their time finding the best dining spots within the powerful AC of the casinos. The party never stops downtown, and with summer just around the corner, the sightings and happenings are definitely heating up.
Just like how many athletes favor Barry's Downtown Prime at Circa Las Vegas before a game, celebrities also are known to stop in before award shows, amongst other nights out. This was certainly true for Donnie Wahlberg, star of the hit TV show Blue Bloods, and NKOTB member Jordan Knight. It is no secret that this is Donnie's number one choice for any night out, and he wanted Jordan to experience it as well, ahead of walking the red carpet at the AMAs. Donnie always recommends the desserts at Barry's, including the Oreo Ice Cream Pie — a must to top off any meal.
Just two days prior, Joe Montana, who happens to be good friends with chef Barry, stopped in and posed together in the wine room.
Joe has been seen multiple times at Barry's in the past.
Icelandic professional strongman Thor, or Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson — known to many as "The Mountain" from the hit show Game of Thrones — and his wife Kelsey were joined by fitness pro and influencer Jason Poston and his wife Sheena, along with Sebastian Oreb and Dinny J, who all fueled up for their weekend by trying Barry's for the first time.
