New Balance has announced it has added Golden Globe Award-winning actor Ayo Edebiri to its roster of brand ambassadors.
New Balance says its latest partnership with Edebiri makes for a natural fit given her upbringing in Boston, which is also where the brand's global headquarters is located. Edebiri's launch campaign captures her in her hometown of Dorchester while wearing the iconic New Balance 574.
"New Balance has always been part of the backdrop of my life growing up in Boston, so there was already a familiarity there. But as I learned more about the brand through conversations with the amazing team, the fit became about more than just the Boston connection," Edebiri said about joining New Balance. "I love how New Balance has such a clear sense of who they are, while still leaving room for self-expression and creativity, allowing people to make the brand their own. That balance of identity and individuality is something I value in both my personal style and my work, and is what makes this relationship feel like such a natural fit."
New Balance confirmed that Edebiri will appear in future campaigns and storytelling opportunities.

Brooklyn Beckham, widely known as David Beckham's son, has made headlines lately because of his marriage to Nicola Peltz and reported family tension with his mother. Amid all this, the model recently appeared with his wife on the red carpet in a moment caught on camera.
Recently, the power couple attended the Deauville American Film Festival in France on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. However, as always, fans did not focus on their designer outfits this time. Instead, their red carpet moment left fans wondering whether something was going on between Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz.
According to coverage from News.com, everything appeared fine at first, as the model kissed and hugged his wife. However, shortly after, the Foosball star stepped aside so that the Lola actress could enjoy the spotlight on her own. Before leaving Nicola Peltz, Brooklyn Beckham also fixed the back of her gown so that the actress could continue walking the red carpet without any trouble.
However, according to the source, Beckham's move appeared to slightly irritate Peltz. The video clearly showed the 31-year-old staring at David Beckham's son until he had walked away and reached the barrier nearby.
For context, Nicola Peltz attended the Deauville American Film Festival to support her friend and Prime co-star Faye Dunaway, who received the Icon Award that night. Meanwhile, the former footballer's son supported his wife at the event.

A royal expert claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle want the "best of both worlds" with their UK move. She alleged that they want access to the royal family while maintaining their independent lives in the US. The Sussexes arrived in the country on August 26 and are reportedly looking for private accommodation outside London.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield told Fox News Digital that Harry and Markle's latest move to the UK could be more about testing the waters than a permanent relocation. She said, "I suspect they want the best of both worlds — access to Britain, proximity to the monarchy and the credibility that comes with Harry's royal identity, while maintaining the freedom and commercial opportunities they ***** ociate with life outside the U.K."
The commenter added that their current arrangement seems familiar to the "half-in, half-out" policy, which Queen Elizabeth rejected when they left the UK in 2020. She further cast doubt on the Sussexes' true plan, unable to comprehend whether they are back in the country permanently or simply want the experience of the "best of both worlds."
"Harry and Meghan never do what they say or say what they mean. One year ago, Harry told us the U.K. was not safe enough to bring his wife and children. Now someone is briefing the Daily Mail that Harry has a 15-year plan in the U.K. Alternatively, we're briefed this could be temporary," she elaborated. Schofield described their current arrangement as a trial rather than a permanent homecoming.
Recently, another royal commentator, Lady Colin Campbell, shared an update on whether the royal family would accept the Sussexes, now that they're back. She said, "The family wants absolutely nothing to do with her and as little to do with Harry as possible." She also stated that people who want to remain in the good books of the Waleses and the monarch would be unlikely to ***** ociate themselves with the Sussexes.

Katie Price has sparked fresh questions about her marriage to Lee Andrews after stepping out in Marbella without her wedding ring. Price instead spent the getaway partying with Chloe Ferry and close friend Ryan Mira.
According to Metro, Price joined Ferry and friends for a lively Marbella party. During the night out, Price wore a revealing silver minidress. More noticeably, her wedding ring did not appear on her hand.
Meanwhile, footage reportedly shared by Ryan Mira showed him dancing with Price. At one point, he lifted her into the air and spun her around. The sighting marked another occasion when Price was seen without her wedding ring. Just days earlier, she wore the ring while performing at Manchester Pride.
However, this is not the first time Price has removed it. In June, she returned from Dubai without her wedding ring amid questions about her marriage. Since then, Lee Andrews and Price have continued to attract speculation. The couple reunited in Dubai after an earlier period of uncertainty.
More recently, Price reportedly explored her legal options as questions about the relationship continued. At the same time, she announced a new live podcast tour. Still, Price has not publicly confirmed that her marriage is over. Therefore, the missing ring alone does not establish a split.

"The Parent Trap" actor Dennis Quaid has lifted the lid on his life in Tennessee after trading Hollywood for Nashville six years ago—months after listing his $5.2 million California home.
Quaid, 72, who hails from Texas, relocated from Los Angeles to Music City with his wife, Laura Savoie, 33, in 2020, leaving behind the city where he had spent decades building his Hollywood career.
Six years after the move, the actor took another step toward cutting ties with California when he listed his contemporary Brentwood Hills home for $5.2 million in May, having previously claimed the Golden State had gone "downhill" in recent years.
Now, Quaid has opened up about what he loves most about his Tennessee lifestyle, revealing that he has become particularly fond of spending time at home and enjoying the ****** e his new surroundings afford him.
"Basically I play golf. I love to be around the house here. You get a lot of land and ****** e, but you're still in an urban environment. I've made some really good friends here to spend time with. It's important and a great place to raise a family," he told People.

Meredith Gaudreau had never been a tattoo person before losing her husband, NHL star Johnny Gaudreau, and his younger brother Matthew. Now the ink on her arms and hand holds pieces of the family they built and the people they are still grieving.
The 34-year-old recently explained the meaning behind each tattoo, from Johnny's handwritten signature to their wedding date and a line from their vows. She also said some of the most personal designs were done with a small amount of Johnny's ashes mixed into the ink, according to PEOPLE.
Johnny and Matthew died on August 29, 2024, after they were struck by a vehicle while riding bicycles in New Jersey. Meredith was pregnant with her and Johnny's third child at the time. Their son Carter was born in April 2025.
Two years later, Meredith has Johnny represented through his own handwriting, the names of their three children and the vows from their 2021 wedding. Matthew has his own tattoo as well.
Meredith's first tattoo was Johnny's signature on her right forearm. She had saved a photo of an autograph he once wrote specifically for her when she needed it for a playoff jacket, and that became the version she chose to copy.

Trigger Warning: Mental Health Struggles

Brad Pitt's vulnerability during his recent interview has drawn praise as the actor opened up about his mental health challenges. The actor shared emotional details about his family struggles.
Brad Pitt, who separated from Angelina Jolie, spoke about his challenges, which he described as "family stuff." The highly publicized separation after 12 years of relationship and 2 years of marriage took a toll on his mental health.
According to Radar, a source said, "There is a feeling that Brad speaking this openly matters, because it shows men, even superstars, can have suicidal thoughts when life becomes overwhelming. He is not presenting himself as invincible – he is admitting there was a period when he could not see a way through the pain."
"For someone with Brad's fame to describe reaching that point is incredibly stark. The hope is that people understand money, success and celebrity do not make somebody immune from despair," the source added.
Earlier during an interview with Esquire, Brad Pitt said, "I've never been suicidal except for one little period. And in that one little period, I just couldn't – just didn't see a way out. The pain was so oppressive that – I wasn't going to act on this – but I could feel the cold steel of the bullet in my head, and it felt like relief."

In 2007, actor and comedian Robin Williams traveled to Kuwait for an appearance at Camp Arifjan.

Williams was doing his best to entertain the troops when they suddenly stopped paying attention to the stage. They immediately shifted their focus behind them to render honors as the American flag was lowered. Williams wasn't so much offended as mildly perplexed. At first, he didn't understand what was going on.

Related: Bob Hope entertained the troops from WWII to Desert Storm

Once the service members explained it to Williams, he brought it back to why he traveled 8,000 miles from home.

"Sort of reminds you why we're here, doesn't it?" Williams replied, according to a 2014 Defense Department article.

Here are seven celebrities who were committed to showing their appreciation for the United States military.

We start with the OG of military entertainers. Hope performed for troops domestically and overseas for five decades, beginning with a performance at March Field in California in 1941. Hope, whose "Road to…" films with Bing Crosby became popular with moviegoers, never tired of traveling to see troops.

His 57 tours with the United Service Organizations conveyed his appreciation to his adopted country. Born in London in 1903, Hope moved to America at an early age. He became a U.S. citizen when he was 17 years old.

"He brought such enthusiasm, brought your life back to you," Navy Seabee Ron Ronning said of Hope's last USO show during the Vietnam War in late 1972. "You felt like you were renewed."

Hope died on July 27, 2003, at the age of 100.

Lee Greenwood has "God Bless the USA," perhaps the quintessential patriotic song. Few singers, though, compiled a music catalog that honored the military quite like Keith.

The "American Soldier," "Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue," and "Call a Marine" singer participated in 18 USO tours. By one estimate, he performed in front of 250,000-plus troops in 17 countries. When mortar fire interrupted a set in Afghanistan, Keith left the stage. He and troops sprinted about a hundred yards to a concrete bunker. There, he signed autographs until he could return to doing what he did best.

"I've met so many great, brave service men and women over the years and had so many wonderful experiences, that I can barely remember them all," Keith said in 2012. "… I won't ever stop doing my part to extend my thanks."

Keith died in 2024 at the age of 62.

Rosie O'Donnell may have moved to Ireland, but she hasn't distanced herself from a longstanding public feud with President Donald Trump.
In a new interview with People magazine, the comedian likened her decades-long quarrel with Trump to "20 years of him using me as a punchline."
Trump and O'Donnell's feud dates back to 2006, when the latter was a host on "The View." She criticized Trump as a "snake oil salesman" in connection to his ownership of the Miss USA competition at the time, setting off years of back-and-forth spats between the two.
In 2025, as Trump began his second presidency, O'Donnell revealed she moved to Ireland to escape the United States' political climate. The president has since threatened to revoke O'Donnell's birthright citizenship on multiple occasions.

In an interview with BET ahead of hosting the 2026 BET Awards, Druski spoke about the impact of the megachurch skit, which he ultimately recreated at Sunday's ceremony.
"I think, I know I got the message across," he said around the eight-minute mark in the video below. "I think it's funny, man, because people go back and they realize this stuff has been in front of us the whole time. We're not noticing it unless someone waves a red flag. That is literally right in front of us."
"That's a comedian's voice, and where he stands — to not only make people laugh in that moment, but to show truth of what's really directly in front of us [but] we just don't see it," Druski added. "We're blind to it."

Penélope Cruz was left stunned when she was asked whether Hollywood swingers are a real thing before responding, "How the f–k would I know?"
The question came up Thursday during a game of "Truth Serum" for Allure, where celebrities are asked to spill the truth no matter the question. Cruz was joined by her "The Invite" co-star and director Olivia Wilde. In the film, Cruz plays Piña, a provocative psychotherapist and ******* ologist. Despite portraying a ******* ually provocative character, Cruz was quick to dismiss any suggestion that she is part of the Hollywood swingers community.
"What the f–k do I know?" Cruz answered with a gasp when asked if she knew whether Hollywood swingers were real. "I mean, all I do is school, football, dance, work, kids, work — that's my life."
Wilde could barely contain her laughter, clarifying, "It doesn't have to be you, but are swingers a real thing?"
"If they exist, they don't tell me about it," Cruz added. "I mean, I don't know stories about that, but if you know, you better tell me because I like knowing everything. And I don't repeat it."

"People I've just been scammed I was admitted to a hospital in Mexico City because I had a shot of tequila," Bask said. "The truth is that I was left with very low pressure and we called the hospital because we could not, I could not move. The ambulance driver arrives and tells me, don't you have a symptom? Superirregular symptoms that your heart may be having tachycardia, we have to take you to the hospital and make you all these services. But not the ambulance is free of charge, the ambulance arrives, they charge us 24,000 pesos."
She continued: "And then we get here, when I arrived my sheets were already dirty and they had blood stains. Then they wanted to undress me in front of the cameras, but I was told that the cameras they were not useful, and in the end I had to tell them to turn them around."
Bask said the ambulance transfer, hospital deposit, and medical care ultimately cost her 48,777 pesos. She also said hospital staff made multiple failed attempts to insert an IV.

Lili Reinhart embraced timeless elegance with a vintage twist while attending Amazon Prime's Obsessed Fest. She stepped onto the blue carpet in a fiery red Dior dress that looked as though it was being held up by just two delicate shoulder straps.
The 'Riverdale' star chose a vintage Dior Spring/Summer 2008 design featuring a plunging V-neckline suspended by ultra-thin spaghetti straps that created an effortless, minimal silhouette. The fitted bodice hugged her frame, then flowed into a midi-length skirt. Thus making the archival piece feel just as modern today as it did on the runway nearly two decades ago.
A standout detail was the contrasting, darker red sash tied into a soft bow at the waist. It added subtle definition without distracting from the dress' clean lines. The skirt featured a pleated, fluted hem that brought movement to every step, while the rich monochromatic red palette gave the vintage design a striking finish.
Reinhart kept her accessories understated, allowing the dress to take center stage. She paired the look with brown 'Paris Texas Lidia slingback sandals'. They featured slim straps and towering stiletto heels that complemented the ensemble's warm tones. Small diamond stud earrings and delicate rings completed the styling without overpowering the archival Dior piece.
Her beauty look remained equally effortless. Reinhart wore her honey-blonde hair in soft, loose waves with a center part, while fresh, glowing makeup, lightly defined eyes, and a muted pink lip enhanced the understated glamour.
