Gypsy Rose Blanchard's ex-fiancée, Ken Urker, was found dead on Thursday, Oct. 1.
Although Urker's cause of death is unknown, Blanchard made a statement to TMZ, explaining that Urker was a victim of cyberbullying before he died.
"Ken was an amazing father and a man who was deeply loved," Blanchard said, adding that Urker "will forever be my soulmate and my red string, a connection that time, distance, and even death can never erase."
Blanchard stated that before Urker was found unresponsive at his Louisiana home on his 34th birthday, he was the victim of an "unimaginable level of public scrutiny" and "relentless cyberbullying."
Blanchard noted that the cyberbulling had a "profound impact" on her ex, whom she met in 2017 while incarcerated for the second-degree murder of her mom, Claudine "DeeDee" Blanchard.

With the amount of information available on the internet, it can sometimes be difficult to keep up. Nya (nyaajadee) faced a similar problem when she helped her boyfriend purchase a thrifted shirt for work and later learned that the brand that made the shirt, Sean John, was owned by none other than rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs.
For those wondering why Combs' ****** ociation with the brand is controversial, he is currently incarcerated at the Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institution. He is serving a 50-month prison sentence following a criminal conviction in October 2025 for transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
So how did Nya learn about the shirt's controversial nature? In a TikTok video, she said that when her boyfriend wore it to the restaurant bar where he works, his colleagues started to laugh at him. "They were like, ****** , dude, a Sean John shirt? Like, you're kind of crazy," Nya said, recounting what his co-workers told him. Nya also shared that her boyfriend repeatedly asked them questions, as he was unaware of what was happening before finally realizing that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand.
Nya said that after some back and forth, her boyfriend eventually realized that Sean John was Diddy's clothing brand. "We didn't know it was f****** Diddy. I didn't. I knew Diddy. I thought Diddy had pants. Just pants. I knew Diddy had pants. I didn't know he had shirts, too. But also, I didn't know that his clothing company was called Sean John," Nya said. She added, "So I helped my boyfriend pick out a Diddy shirt. What did Sean John do? What did Sean John not do?"
Turns out some people in the comments were as unaware as Nya about Diddy's clothing brand, despite knowing about his criminal conduct. One person wrote, "I didn't even know he made clothes." Another individual reacted similarly and said, "I guess I'm one millennial that was left out the loop lol because I didn't actually know his name other then his stage name, also did not know he had a clothing line."

Olivier Martinez has been granted a temporary restraining order against his ex-wife, Halle Berry.
On Thursday, editors at TMZ reported that the French actor had filed legal documents in which he alleged his former partner had physically attacked their 12-year-old son Maceo last month.
Martinez, 60, alleged it was not an isolated incident and that Berry had also threatened to have him deported to France.
Later in the day, a Los Angeles County judge granted the Unfaithful star the order, requiring Berry to stay 100 yards (91 metres) from him until the next hearing takes place on 16 October.
They also limited the times the Oscar-winning actress can see Maceo.
A short time after the filing became public, Berry's lawyer, Marina Beck, issued a statement to People in which she denied the allegations.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military is dispatching roughly 9,000 troops aboard a group of ships to the Middle East, a U.S. official said Thursday. The bolstering of the American military presence comes as President Donald Trump warned anew that new strikes against Iran could be on the horizon.
The troop movement, which includes a third aircraft carrier, underscores the rapidly evolving dynamic of Trump's war against Iran as he ponders his next move, with midterm elections in the United States looming large and new signs that the nature of the conflict may be becoming more complex.
Trump has threatened that a post-midterm election escalation — despite his initial promises to Americans of a campaign that would last a matter of weeks — remains a viable option. Further complicating matters, Trump told reporters Thursday that early indications suggest that Iran is linked to the FlyDubai co-pilot who stabbed his captain and tried to crash an Israel-bound flight on Wednesday.
In an exchange with reporters at the White House, Trump raised the connection when asked by a reporter if there were any links between the pilot behind the attack and Tehran.
"I would say the answer, based on what I'm hearing, is 'yes,' but we're working on it right now," Trump said, without offering details.

Science educator Bill Nye the Science Guy has been teaching Millennials all about science for their entire lives. At 70, he's still doing it.
Nye recently spoke at the Clinton Global Initiative 2026 Annual Meeting in New York City. While there, attendee Dr. Trisha Pasricha, MD, MPH, shared a video of Nye on TikTok that's gone viral. In it, Nye pulled out a physical copy of the U.S. Constitution while offering the audience an encouraging message about science.
"Bill Nye just pulled out the Constitution—and the crowd erupted," she wrote in the video's overlay, adding in the caption: "BillNye, the gentleman and scholar that you are."
In the video, Nye is participating in a panel discussion.
"I have a copy of the U.S. Constitution, which some of you may know is now available in paperback," he quips. "Say what you will about the U.S., say what you will about the Founding Fathers, the guys who wrote it. You could have mixed feelings about them. But Article 1, Section 8, Clause 8 of the U.S. Constitution [states]: 'The role of Congress is to promote the progress of science and useful arts.'"

The lethal drug administered in Tennessee's failed attempt to execute Christa Pike has been used in multiple states that carry out the death penalty and by the U.S. government after President Donald Trump resumed federal executions during his first term.
Pike, 50, remained alive after two doses of pentobarbital were administered Wednesday, according to her attorneys and media witnesses. One of her lawyers said Thursday that she was being treated at a hospital.
Tennessee officials haven't explained yet what went wrong during the execution.
Republican Gov. Bill Lee ordered a third-party review to determine what happened and said another scheduled execution in Tennessee will not take place this year.
Pentobarbital is a barbiturate, a class of drugs that depresses the central nervous system.

Election Day is still a month away, but more than 700,000 Americans have already voted across at least 30 states. There are signs emerging of the advantage Democrats have in motivating their voters – a trend that’s played out in polling all summer long.
In several states with key Senate or governor races this fall, Democrats make up a larger share of voters requesting ballots so far than they did at this point in 2024.
What early voting data is showing ahead of the 2026 midterms
In Iowa, Democrats have made 67% of ballot requests, up from 54% at this point in 2024. In Pennsylvania, it’s 66%, up from 62%, and in Maine it’s 57%, up from 53%. And according to data from the North Carolina State Board of Elections, 42% of ballot requests are from Democrats, up from 36% at this point two years ago.
It’s worth noting that in all of those states except for Iowa, ballot requests at this point in 2022 were more Democratic than they are now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court on Thursday agreed to review a Trump administration policy denying bond hearings for immigrants as the government carries out a sweeping crackdown.
The justices will consider whether immigrants who have been living in the U.S. have a right to a hearing to determine if they should remain detained while challenging their possible deportation.
The case will test a key pillar of the Trump administration's hard-line immigration agenda.
Most appeals courts to have considered the issue have found that it violates federal law to detain immigrants, including those living in the U.S. illegally, without a bond hearing. Those decisions conflict with rulings by the 5th and 8th circuits, which held that immigrants accused of illegally entering and remaining in the U.S. must be detained while their deportation cases are pending.
The high court agreed to hear the case of Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a citizen of Brazil. Authorities say he entered the United States illegally two decades ago and applied for asylum in 2016. He sought a bond hearing after an immigration judge determined that his detention was mandatory following his September 2025 arrest.

The U.S. government has revealed a new, redesigned passport and announced plans to dramatically modernize the way Americans can apply for one.
Speaking at President Donald Trump's America.gov Event on September 29, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio demonstrated a new passport application process that he said U.S. citizens can "complete entirely from home" and showed off a "beautiful" new U.S. passport that’s expected to roll out in 2028.
The changes are part of the Trump administration's new AI-powered government services platform, America.gov, which he launched on Tuesday, touting it as a "single digital point of entry" designed to simplify how Americans access government services.

The Treasury Department said that over 60 million children have been automatically enrolled in Trump Accounts, according to guidance filed with the Federal Register.
"Millions of children have already enrolled in Trump Accounts. With automatic enrollment, over 60 million more eligible children now have an account ready to be claimed," Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said in a statement.
The idea behind Trump Accounts is to give children a head start on building wealth. The accounts are a new type of tax-deferred individual retirement account for children. Any eligible child under 18 with a valid Social Security number can open an account, while U.S. citizens born between 2025 and 2028 may also qualify for a one-time $1,000 contribution from the government.
Until now, parents or guardians were required to sign up for accounts on their children's behalf. Participation has been low, however.

RM for RM x SFMOMA Between You and Me
While many know RM as a member of the global sensation BTS, his fandom, known as ARMY, and those in the art world know another side of him: RM, real name Kim Namjoon, is an art collector – and now curator.
He, alongside exhibition co-curators América Castillo and Hyoeun Kim of San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, is now ready to show his personal art collection in RM x SFMOMA: Between You and Me.
Over the past few years, museums have faced low attendance, lost federal grants, and reduced funding. Museums have had to strategize what exhibitions people want to see, how to increase membership, and how to introduce art to the masses. Castillo says there have been more projects that the museum has taken on that have "pushed that boundary, even within their section of the art world." She had previously worked on a project called "Art of Noise" that focused heavily on music.
"It was the accumulation of those moments within the art world [that] there might actually be an appetite," Castillo states. "Then there was an internal opening, calling for ideas, and I just didn't hesitate saying, 'We should work with RM'."

Lady Gaga released a statement through her Haus Labs makeup brand, apologizing to beauty influencer Golloria.
Golloria previously made a video calling out one of the line's new products for a non-inclusive shade range, though Haus Labs asked her to remove it as the product was under an embargo.
"I truly apologize to Golloria," Gaga said in the statement, with the brand adding that it paused the launch and added five more inclusive shades following Golloria's "powerful voice."
Lady Gaga has apologized to social media star Golloria following a clash the pop icon's beauty brand Haus Labs had with the beauty influencer over a new product.

The influencer later said that Haus Labs reached out and asked for the post to be removed, which Gaga's statement confirmed — "on the technicality that she was under embargo," as the product hadn't yet hit stores.

A former Cornell University student filed a civil lawsuit alleging that seven members of the Chi Phi fraternity drugged or pressured her to use drugs and alcohol and **** ually **** aulted her over several hours at the fraternity house in October 2024. The lawsuit and alleged fraternity Snapchat messages have since drawn national attention and scrutiny of Cornell's response.
The allegations have sparked widespread outrage and renewed scrutiny of **** ual violence on college campuses, fraternity culture, and how universities and law enforcement respond when students report **** ual **** ault.
Florence Pugh was among the first in Hollywood to speak out. "This is really the moment where we need our men to be as horrified and as sickened as us," part of her statement on Instagram on Sept. 28 said. "How can you expect us to trust that it's 'not all men' when in moments like this many of you stay quiet?"
Mariska Hargitay, Josh Gad and Hudson Williams also called out the allegations and demanded accountability, part of what has become a national conversation about **** ual violence, fraternity culture, and the institutions tasked with protecting students.
While some people argue that celebrities should stay in their lane and avoid activism, advocates say the response matters.
