Jeff Arcuri credits cruise ship gigs and social media for helping launch his comedy career
He and wife Katie Thurston are navigating her stage 4 cancer diagnosis while pursuing IVF and surrogacy plans
Arcuri incorporates their personal journey into his comedy and praises Thurston as his muse and biggest supporter
Three years ago, comedian Jeff Arcuri would never have predicted he'd be where he is today: a celebrated stand-up, married with a dog and a new homeowner of a fixer-upper in Brooklyn.
He also never thought he'd be navigating the pitfalls of cancer; his wife, Bachelorette star Katie Thurston, 35, was diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer last March, just months after they were engaged. Her cancer has since developed to stage 4.

Prince William and Kate Middleton are preparing their eldest son Prince George to one day be king.
While George has his dad's guidance for certain experiences, like starting school at Eton College, his mom is playing a different role in his preparations, royal historian Marlene Koenig said.
"[Kate] is there to be the loving, supportive mom in everything George does, because he is her son first and foremost," Koenig explained.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are both fully prepared to guide their eldest son, Prince George, as he one day succeeds to the throne as king—but, as royal historian Marlene Koenig put it, the Princess of Wales has a "different role" in that preparation than her husband does.
Much like his father and uncle, Prince Harry, George has begun his first year at Eton College this September. Attending the famous all-boys boarding school is a royal tradition, and one that William has likely prepared his 13-year-old son for. Meanwhile, Kate is making sure to support George.

Ex-Prince Andrew seemed to be unhappy with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the UK. According to a source, he thinks that the Sussexes are getting something he never did. It was said that the former Duke of York is reportedly irked over King Charles welcoming his son and daughter-in-law back. For those unversed, Harry and Markle have returned to Britain; however, they are still non-working royals.
Ex-Prince Andrew has reportedly been annoyed by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return to the UK. A source told the National Examiner that the 66-year-old seemed to be sulking over getting different treatment. He allegedly compared himself being "punished and banished" to the Sussexes getting another chance to mend fences.
For those unversed, King Charles stripped his younger brother of royal **** les for his scandalous past. The controversies around Andrew didn't die down; hence, he was reportedly "banished" to the Sandringham estate. He had to leave his forever home, Royal Lodge, as per the monarch's order.
Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan left the UK and stepped down as working royals in 2020. While building a new life in California, they gave interviews and published memoirs slamming the royal family. However, the Duke of Sussex extended an olive branch to his father last year. After the Sussexes' reunion with Charles in July, the family of four moved to the UK from California on August 26.
This change in relationship dynamics didn't reportedly sit well with Andrew. "[He] doesn't understand how they can be forgiven for saying these terrible things about the family so publicly. And yet here he is, excluded and blocked when he's never once set out to harm the family the way they've done."

As speculation about her return to the UK grows, Meghan Markle gave royal watchers a familiar sparkle to focus on this week. The **** ss of Sussex brought back her famous engagement ring in her latest As Ever campaign. The sparkler, which Markle has been photographed without on several occasions, has been modified at least three times since 2017.
Meghan Markle's striking diamond engagement ring from Prince Harry has finally resurfaced after being absent for much of 2026.
According to RadarOnline.com, the 45-year-old **** ss wore the jewel in a teaser for As Ever. The clip appears to preview a new apple-inspired product, with close-up shots highlighting the ring on her hand.
The footage appears to be from a shoot the "Suits" alum did in autumn 2025. At that time, she was still frequently seen wearing the three-carat diamond engagement ring gifted by her husband. The budding lifestyle mogul had previously posted clips from that same orchard shoot on October 23, 2025, to announce an As Ever product restock, writing, "Save The Date 10.28.25."
Posted to As Ever's Instagram on Sunday, August 23, Markle's new video includes tight shots of her hands gripping an apple basket handle. The close-ups put her engagement ring, gold Cartier Love bracelet, and three-carat Lorraine Schwartz pinky ring on her right hand front and center.

Rihanna has taken her children around the world, from luxury destinations to some of entertainment's biggest events. However, one of her most meaningful family trips happened on the streets where her own story began.
The superstar recently returned to Barbados with her three children, RZA Athelston Mayers, Riot Rose Mayers and Rocki Irish Mayers, giving them a glimpse of the island that shaped her long before she became one of the most famous women on the planet.
During the family getaway, Rihanna was seen taking her children on a bus tour around Barbados, embracing a slower, more local experience rather than a typical celebrity vacation. The family also stopped at a local coconut vendor, where Rihanna ordered fresh coconuts for her children while enjoying a simple island moment.
For fans, the scene was striking because it showed a side of Rihanna rarely seen publicly: not the global superstar performing for thousands, but a mother sharing her childhood with her children.
The most emotional part of the trip came when Rihanna returned to where it all began: Westbury New Road in Bridgetown.

Hilaria Baldwin says accusations that she married Alec Baldwin for his wealth initially hurt because they did not reflect the precautions she took at the beginning of their relationship.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's Page Six Radio, the former yoga instructor acknowledged why their circumstances attracted suspicion.
She was 27 when she met the 52-year-old actor, who was already wealthy and internationally famous.
Hilaria said she nevertheless rejected Alec's early attempts to buy her things because she wanted to determine whether the relationship would remain appealing without the financial security he could provide.
Hilaria recalled living in a small New York City apartment with an unpredictable heating system when she met Alec in 2011. Her laptop worked so poorly and became so hot that she sometimes placed her hands around it for warmth at night.

Kim Kardashian's boyfriend Lewis Hamilton is stepping in to help her 13-year-old daughter North West, who's determined to become a major star no matter what.
"Kim wants Lewis to be a big part of the kids' lives," reveals a source. "And right now, North is the one who needs the most support because she's throwing herself headfirst into this big showbiz career."
The teenager is gearing up to head out on her first headlining tour, a cross-country run with rapper Molly Santana that kicks off in Dallas on Wednesday, August 5 and ends in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 27 after making stops in New York City, Boston, Chicago and more.
"She's doing incredibly well despite all the negativity she gets online and Lewis is constantly reminding her not to lose sight of that," shares the source. "He loves that she's carving out her own unique path, but of course there are a lot of pitfalls ahead of her and as someone who can see the bigger picture, he can't help wanting to guide her through them."
Hamilton is also very careful not to overstep boundaries, says the source.

MANHATTAN — Folks, it really was a great year in sports, even for those of us who aren't regularly paying attention: The underdog New York Knicks won the NBA Finals, Shohei Ohtani defied baseball physics, and the Olympics introduced the masses to our new national treasure, Alysa Liu.
I spent a soggy, smoky night celebrating it all with some of the tallest and most talented people in the country at the 2026 ESPY Awards, hosted by comedian Marcello Hernández at Lincoln Center.
As someone who observes sports more from a cultural angle than a technical one, I admit I find most of the fun of televised competition to be the emotion and drama of it all (besides the whole "who's going to win" element). I also only learned that "ESPY" stands for "Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly" last night. I still had an amazing time.
Here's what I observed as an in-person attendee at the ESPYs that you might not have picked up during the televised broadcast on ESPN.
When I arrived at the theater for the red carpet, the air was heavy with wildfire smoke and the humidity of an impending deluge. Sure enough, it poured. The nasty summer storm cost everyone about an hour of interview time, but fortunately, I got to spend that time indoors chatting with Yahoo's correspondent for the night: Jazzy, a delightfully brilliant 16-year-old journalist. We spent a while fantasizing about the snacks we wished we had brought, and she recommended I try putting Flamin' Hot Cheetos in the freezer for 15 minutes, which I will be doing next time I anticipate being grumpy and impatient.
