Fans of ‘The View’ Are Begging for This One Former Co-Host To Return for the 30th Anniversary

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:28am

Some fans of The View know exactly who they want to see back at the Hot Topics table.

In a recent Reddit thread about the ABC daytime show, viewers called for Rosie O'Donnell to return as a guest cohost, especially as the show's 30th season approaches.

O'Donnell cohosted The View from 2006 to 2007 and later returned for another run from 2014 to 2015.

Fans Want Rosie O'Donnell Back

The Reddit thread started with a simple reaction: "Absolutely yes!!!! Rosie needs to guest cohost ASAP."

Other fans quickly agreed.

"Brian- she's open to it. Invite her on for the 30th season next year," one person wrote, appearing to address The View executive producer Brian Teta.

Another added, "INVITE HER ON THIS SUMMER."

One fan wrote, "WE WANT ROSIE!!!"

Another said they would "actually tune back in for that episode."

Several fans brought up the show's upcoming milestone as a reason to invite O'Donnell back.

"Season 30 is coming up, perfect time for her to come back," one person wrote.

Another fan said O'Donnell "deserves the recognition to come back as a guest host, especially during the season 30 celebrations."

O'Donnell remains one of the show's most memorable former cohosts, partly because her time at the table was so eventful.

Her first run included frequent political clashes, including her tense on-air fight with Elisabeth Hasselbeck in 2007.

O'Donnell Has Said She Is Open to It

The fan push comes as O'Donnell has been making more public appearances.

According to Page Six, O'Donnell recently said she would be open to guest-hosting The View but has not been invited.

She also said she still has a "grudge" over the infamous split-screen moment during her 2007 argument with Hasselbeck.

Still, the door does not appear fully closed from her side.

Fans Also Noticed Her Recent TV Plans

Some Reddit users pointed out that O'Donnell is already returning to television in another way.

Jimmy Kimmel recently announced that O'Donnell will be one of the guest hosts filling in on Jimmy Kimmel Live! while he takes his summer break.

For some fans, that made a possible View return feel less far-fetched.

"Kimmel just announced she'll be guest-hosting his show for a week while he's on vacation, so I wouldn't be surprised if we see her at the View table sometime this summer," one person wrote.

Nothing Has Been Announced

For now, there is no confirmed plan for O'Donnell to return to The View.

ABC has not announced any guest-host lineup for the 30th season, and O'Donnell has said she has not been invited.

But the fan interest is clear.

A return would bring back one of the most talked-about personalities in the show's history and give longtime viewers a full-circle moment as The View approaches another major anniversary.

'Outlast: The Jungle': Why Braxton Doesn't Regret Siding Against Sarah and Leiya

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:26am

Team Charlie on Outlast: The Jungle struggled the most socially. Many Netflix viewers noticed the arguments only happened between men and women, which made it more uncomfortable.

The season is fully out, and the cast members can talk more freely about their experience. Braxton Fish explained why he thinks the men on his team's behavior wasn't due to sexism.

Spoiler alert for Outlast: The Jungle finale!

Sarah Awad and Wes Saunders clashed at the beginning of the game. She accused him of not helping build the shelter after he lay down on the beach. That offended him, and things got worse with time. Team Charlie spoke to Sarah less then voted her out. Braxton addressed the rough start in an Instagram video on June 19.

"The team dynamic at Charlie was obviously extremely intense from the very first moment we all came together," he said. "We're all very different personalities and big personalities. This is a game you have to remember, so I had to choose a side."

He chose Wes, Leiya Pillitteri, and Brett Johnson. But that alliance also fractured with Leiya on the outside.

"And I do not regret the side that I chose because Sarah was a basket case and Leiya did not provide anything that she told us she would initially provide," Braxton continued. "We all had a hand to play in making that shelter. We all were working on that fire every single day. That was the most important thing to any of us."

Leiya was stressed about the fire because she told the team she knew how to make a fire. Braxton claimed the men just wanted a fire and didn't care who did it. The outdoor vlogger said the guys were so excited when they finally got a fire. But Leiya was miserable and affected their excitement.

Braxton Says Team Charlie's Drama Was Funny

"If those girls were guys, we would've done the same exact thing," he claimed. "Like, they did not mesh well with our team. It wasn't the fact that they were girls. I have nothing against girls."

Braxton said he was close to Leiya in the beginning. But he feels like the end of their relationship, when it became negative, was shown more. That included him mocking Leiya when she told Brett that he hurt her feelings. He said he doesn't regret how the end of their relationship played out.

"I am not sorry for the things that I said," Braxton said. "I was playing a game. I was fighting for a million dollars. I was surviving."

Braxton said, "That sh-t was funny, low-key." He said the drama on Charlie was "engaging, captivating, and reality TV at its finest." He said they were honest and he would do the show again.

We'll have to wait and see if anyone from Outlast: The Jungle will appear on another Netflix show. The season of the survival show is now available on Netflix.

Rarely Seen ’70s Teen Idols Reunite—and It’s a Major Nostalgia Moment

Fans who grew up watching Saturday morning television in the 1970s have a special reason to celebrate.

Land of the Lost stars Wesley Eure and Kathy Coleman are joining a plethora of vintage television and film stars for Duke City Retro Con, a fan event in Albuquerque, New Mexico, bringing together beloved entertainers from decades past.

The duo joins celebrities such as Priscilla Presley, Tiffany, Mimi Rogers, and Barry Bostwick, among others, to celebrate their past accomplishments and let fans in on some of their favorite memories from their careers. Attendees will also have the opportunity to hear behind-the-scenes stories and meet the stars who helped shape 70s pop culture.

Eure and Coleman, along with Spencer Milligan, starred in the cult classic NBCSid & Marty Krofft series. It ran from 1974 through 1976.

Eure shared a promotional post for the event on his official Instagram page. He wrote, "Kathy and I will be in Albuquerque this weekend at Duke City Retro Con, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, June 19-21. Please join us for a ride in our yellow raft."

Following this, Eure shared a video where he and Coleman spoke about the event. "See you this weekend," he said, encouraging fans to attend.

Land of the Lost told the story of the Marshall family, who became trapped in a mysterious world filled with dinosaurs, strange creatures, and danger. The adventure series quickly became a Saturday morning favorite.

Eure starred as Will Marshall, while Coleman played his younger sister, Holly. Milligan played the duo's father, Rick.

Land of the Lost was hugely popular, drawing viewers in each week with its exciting adventures. Decades later, the show still holds a special place in the hearts of fans who grew up watching the Marshall family navigate a strange and dangerous world.

Years after the series cemented its place in pop culture, Wesley Eure co-created and developed the beloved PBS children's series, Dragon Tales. The show became a favorite among young viewers and proved that Eure had a knack for creating stories that resonated with kids across generations.

According to Remind Magazine, Spencer Milligan died in 2024 at 86. Ron Harper, who played Uncle Jack Marshall, also died that same year. Philip Paley, who portrayed Cha-Ka, maintains a social media presence and recently posted a tribute to the late Sid Krofft in April of this year.

1974 Rock Classic, Famously Resurged 30 Years Later, Became One of Rock’s Most Distinctive Hits

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:21am

Some songs refuse to fade away, and Eric Clapton's version of "I Shot the Sheriff" is one of them.

Released in 1974, Clapton's reggae-infused cover of the Bob Marley song climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving the legendary guitarist the only solo chart-topper of his career. Three decades later, the song enjoyed a renewed spotlight after being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, introducing one of rock's most distinctive hits to a new generation of listeners.

Although Clapton was already one of the world's most celebrated guitarists, "I Shot the Sheriff" stood apart from much of his catalog. Rather than relying on extended guitar heroics, the song emphasized its groove and storytelling, famously featuring no traditional guitar solo.

That unexpected approach helped distinguish it from many of the era's biggest rock hits while allowing its reggae rhythm to remain front and center.

The song was originally written and recorded by Bob Marley and the Wailers in 1973. The lyrics were intended as a metaphor, not a literal murder confession.

"That’s not really a sheriff, it's the elements of wickedness," Marley later said in an interview. "The elements of that song is people been judging you and you can't stand it no more and you explode, you just explode."

After hearing the track, Clapton decided to record his own interpretation for his 461 Ocean Boulevard album, helping introduce Marley's songwriting to a much wider mainstream audience at a time when reggae had yet to break through in the United States.

The gamble paid off.

"I Shot the Sheriff" became the biggest hit of Clapton's solo career and played a major role in the success of 461 Ocean Boulevard, marking a career resurgence after a difficult period in the guitarist's personal life. "To my utter astonishment it went straight to #1," Clapton wrote in his book, Clapton: The Autobiography.

The song also helped open the door for reggae music to reach a broader international audience.

"Ska, bluebeat, and reggae were familiar mediums to me," Claption wrote. "I had grown up hearing them in the clubs and on the radio because of England's growing communities of West Indians, but it was quite new to the Americans, and they weren't as finicky as I was about the way it should be played."

In 2004, the recording received another major milestone when it was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. The honor sparked renewed interest in the song, bringing it back into radio rotation and introducing it to younger listeners through documentaries, retrospective articles and television specials celebrating Clapton's career.

More than 50 years after it first topped the charts, "I Shot the Sheriff" remains one of Eric Clapton’s defining recordings. It proved that one of rock's greatest guitarists didn't need a blistering solo to create a timeless classic, and its enduring popularity continues to show why it remains unlike any other No. 1 hit of its era.

Rock and Roll Legend Keith Richards, 82, Reveals the Surprising Bad Habit He Finally Quit

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:17am

Keith Richards, the legendary guitarist from The Rolling Stones, is now 82. However, the icon is still learning and growing as he ages. During an interview with The Guardian that was published on June 19, the star spoke about one big lifestyle change that he made during the last few years—quitting smoking.

“I tended to listen to my body just before it screamed for help,” the musician, who used nicotine patches to help him give up cigarettes, explained. “I mean, I wasn’t far from the end of the runway before I screamed for help. But you tend to slow down if you want to keep going; you pace yourself. Suddenly, I felt like, after all these years of smoking – because, you know, a man smokes – I was sat around with this silly thing in my mouth thinking: how childish. It was that that put me off more than anything, although I smoke a lot of weed.”

Richards also spoke about this major lifestyle change with PEOPLE. "It's funny, I don't think about it much anymore,” he said. “Sometimes, you know, a bell rings and something inside says, 'Hey pal, enough.' I just put the hammer on it. Luckily, I don't miss it, and that makes me feel good. Until I started rehearsing for the tour last August, and then I realized that I had 10 times more wind.”

He elaborated on this claim when he appeared on the "WTF with Marc Maron" podcast, saying he now has "a lot more air in the lungs and in the voice, more stamina."

Richards hasn’t been shy about his drug use over the years. He was faced with two major drug charges when he was younger, once in Canada and once in England. As reported by Rolling Stone, “Richards was partying at his home on Cheyne Walk in London's Chelsea neighborhood — with guests that included the great Chicago-blues record producer Marshall Chess — blasting reggae records and getting lit. Then the police broke in and turned up heroin, marijuana, Mandrax tablets, a handgun, a rifle and 110 rounds of ammunition. Faced with 25 charges, Richards got off with the help of his ‘brilliant lawyer’ Richard Du Cann.”

According to his autobiography, Life, he didn’t give up cocaine until he turned 62, after falling from a tree and undergoing brain surgery. However, he revealed that he still enjoys drinking in moderation.

Anne Hathaway Confirms Pregnancy With Baby Number 3

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:16am

Is Anne Hathawaypregnant with baby number three? According to recent photos snapped during a family trip to the French Riviera, she is! But wait, there’s more to this story.

While some media outlets initially reported that a bikini-clad Hathaway was bearing a telltale belly bump on the beach, there were only a few pics to back up this story. Almost immediately after the news broke, Hathaway confirmed the rumors, posting a video on Instagram with the caption, “xBaby, I’m yours x.”

Aptly set to ‘Baby, I’m Yours’ by Barbara Lewis, the mom of two (soon-to-be three) walks into the frame wearing a flowy white dress with her hands coyly clasped around her abdomen. She smiles at the camera and moves her arms to reveal…her pregnant belly. 

View this post on Instagram

Fans, friends, and celebs took to Instagram to congratulate Hathaway on her new family addition. Actress Suki Waterhouse wrote, “So happy for you,” as others added, “OMG Congrats Anne!” and, “Seriously 5 movies, Arsenal winning, Knicks winning and pregnancy…who is having a better year than Anne?”

News of a third pregnancy may come as a surprise to some fans. The 43-year-old looked anything but preggo at The Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in New York City last April. The actress wore a custom Louis Vuitton tea-length dress with a corset top that definitely showed off her (at the time) flat belly. Fast-forward two months, and she’s definitely sporting a major bump. 

Who are Anne Hathaway’s children?

Hathaway already has two children with her husband, Adam Sculman. The couple married in 2012 and welcomed their first son, Jonathan Rosebanks Schulman, in March of 2016. She gave birth to her younger son, Jack Shulman, in November of 2019. 

In 2022, she told WSJ she hoped to have more children someday, saying, “I could see us going for another one.” Hathaway added, “There’s this tendency to portray getting pregnant, having kids, in one light, as if it’s all positive. But I know from my own experience… it’s so much more complicated than that.”

The actress continued, “I didn’t feel fully landed and fully here until I was a mom.” Hathaway went on to say, “It’s not like I was truly lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word.”

While Hathway has confirmed her third pregnancy, she has yet to reveal her due date.

Stephen King Raves Over Apple TV's 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed' Series: 'It's Like Hitchcock Came Back'

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 10:07am

Most viewers' attention might firmly locked on Apple TV's critically acclaimed Widow's Bay, but legendary horror writer Stephen King believes he's found something even better on the hit streaming platform.

Taking to X to share his thoughts on two of Apple TV's latest and greatest shows, the 78-year-old Shining writer specifically recommended Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed, a darkly comic new thriller series that King favorably compared to the work of Alfred Hitchcock.

In his outlook, King said he enjoyed Widow's Bay, but he felt that the latter series actually outshined the former in more than a few categories.

"Widow's Bay is good. Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed is even better," wrote King. "It's like Hitchcock came back to do it one more time. And Tatiana Maslany is so good. The play of emotions on her face is pretty incredible. She goes from comic to terror in an instant."

King is not the only person who has been making their appreciation for Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed known online. As many critics have reported, the new Apple TV series has won consistent renown among early viewers, with many specifically praising the show's cast, writing and balance between comedy and suspense.

As the Rotten Tomatoes' consensus puts it, "Tatiana Maslany boldly leads this twistedly thrilling whodunit, serving as a fascinating exploration of the unexpected through compelling storytelling, diverting escapades, and the undeniable assurance of Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed."

Premiering on Apple TV starting on May 20, Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed follows Maslany's New York City fact checker as she's roped into a mystery beyond her wildest imagination.

Tasked with finding the murderer of a webcam boy she's employed, Maslany enters a dark, surreal, complicated world, forcing her to rely on her wiles and wits to solve the young man's death and escape the situation with her own life in tact.

'80s Metal Band Releases Dates for First Leg of World Tour

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:54am

Saxon is getting ready to hit the road once again.

The British heavy metal veterans have announced the U.K. and Ireland dates for the first leg of their Gods of Thunder World Tour, with additional international dates expected to be revealed in the coming months. The run begins Feb. 13 in Wolverhampton and wraps up Feb. 27 at London's Eventim Apollo, marking the start of what the band says will be a worldwide trek.

The tour will also see the return of one of the most recognizable stage props in heavy metal history.

For all of the U.K. and Ireland dates, except Cardiff due to venue restrictions, Saxon will revive its legendary 30-foot mechanized Eagle, which first debuted during the band's early 1980s arena tours. Fans can also expect the return of the band's celebrated "Castles & Eagles" stage production, promising one of the group's biggest live presentations in years.

"We wanted to make the Gods of Thunder U.K. & Ireland tour extra special and what better way than to fly our beloved Saxon Eagle again," frontman Biff Byford said in a statement. "Get ready for take-off!"

Originally built in the early 1980s as Saxon prepared to tour its landmark Denim and Leather album, the towering Eagle was constructed by Midlands-based company LSD using airport runway landing lights. It quickly became synonymous with the band, towering over audiences during arena performances and later inspiring the title of Saxon's 1982 live album, The Eagle Has Landed.

Formed in 1977, Saxon emerged as one of the leading bands of the new wave of British heavy metal alongside Iron Maiden and Def Leppard. Albums including Wheels of Steel, Strong Arm of the Law and Denim and Leather helped define the movement, while songs such as "Princess of the Night," "747 (Strangers in the Night)" and "Motorcycle Man" became staples of the genre.

"Wheels Of Steel was such a big record for us," Byron told Louder. "We were going to get dropped after the first album didn't do so well. It was a rough period mentally. But when we wrote those songs for Wheels Of Steel it was great. Everybody knew we were on to something."

More than four decades later, Saxon continues to tour and release new music while remaining one of heavy metal's most enduring live acts. With the return of the band's iconic Eagle and more world tour dates still to come, the "Gods of Thunder" tour promises to be a celebration of both Saxon's past and its continuing legacy.

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:51am

Deidre Hall is a soap opera icon, and that's why she showed Today's Craig Melvinhow it's done.

Hall, 78, has played Marlena Evans on the NBC/Peacock daytime series Days of Our Lives for 50 years. The Daytime Emmy winner's character has seen endless storylines over those five decades, ranging from being possessed by the devil to having an evil twin. But in a new appearance on Today, the soap opera icon showed host Craig Melvin how she's secured her stardom on the series over the years: Her iconic slap.

"Of all of the storylines that you've been a part of over the years, what I've always enjoyed is your ability to slap," Melvin told Hall. "You're a great slapper."

"Well, thanks," Hall replied, laughing, adding that she "couldn't begin to imagine" how many on-screen slaps she's had over the years.

"It would be one of the greatest professional honors of my life if you could slap me," Melvin told her.

Does Deidre Hall Plan to Leave Days of Our Lives?

 After 50 years in Salem, the Midwestern town where Days is set, the soap opera icon is making it clear that she has plans to depart anytime soon.

"As long as my key card opens the gate, I'm there. It's my family, I love that place," she said.

It's also quite an accomplishment that the series is still on the air, seeing as several soaps have faded from existence.

"Nobody had done 50 years at that point. The fact that we stayed on the air is a thrill. We kept on going and going and going and I got to stay ... and keep working," Hall added.

Colin Farrell’s Dating History: Inside His Relationships With Britney Spears, Angelina Jolie and Elizabeth Taylor

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:50am

For a good chunk of the early aughts, Colin Farrellwas Hollywood’s busiest bachelor. He was linked to Demi Moore, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears and even Elizabeth Taylor.

Despite the tabloid attention, Farrell has rarely spoken publicly about his romantic life. Where he has opened up, though, is on the subject of fatherhood. A dad to two sons, the Irish actor has often credited his children with giving him purpose, calling them “the loves of my life” during his 2023 Golden Globe acceptance speech.

Keep reading to learn more about Farrell’s dating history, including the mothers of his children and if he's still single in 2026.

Is Colin Farrell married?

Farrell has never legally married, but he did unofficially wed English actress/singer Amelia Warner in 2001, when the pair were on vacation in Tahiti. (They met the year prior at the premiere of Quills, which Warner starred in.) 

"We had a ceremony on a beach in Tahiti that was by no means legal and we knew it wasn't,” Warner told The Sun, via Digital Spy “It was just a thing we did on holiday. We went shark feeding and then we did that. We booked them both on the activities desk at the hotel." 

"It really wasn't this secret wedding that no one was invited to," she continued. "It was lovely, it was silly, it was sweet but by no means was it a serious thing."

They remained “married” for four months before breaking up. Warner went on to marry Fifty Shades of Grey actor Jamie Dornan in 2013.

Is Colin Farrell in a relationship?

Take your best shot: As of 2026, Farrell appears to be single.

His most recent long-term relationship was with Kelly MacNamara, a production assistant for U2 guitarist The Edge. 

Who is Colin Farrell's longest relationship?

Based on his public dating history, that would be MacNamara. The pair dated for about five years before splitting in early 2023, the year he was nominated for an Oscar for The Banshees of Inisherin. Although they never commented publicly on their breakup, tabloid reports pinned the split on busy schedules. 

Does Colin Farrell have kids?

Yes. Farrell is the father of two sons: James Padraig Farrell, born in 2003, and Henry Tadeusz Farrell, born in 2009.

“Your life widens [when you become a parent],” he told Access Hollywood. “You become stronger than you ever thought, you would do anything to protect that child, and also more vulnerable.”

Speaking about his oldest son, James, who has Angelman syndrome, a rare neurogenetic disorder that affects speech, movement and development, Farrell has shared that his son was his motivation for sobriety.

"He saved my life in a way," Farrell said.

@goss.ie

Colin Farrell has thanked his son James for being his “higher power” throughout his sobriety. Speaking about his sobriety to Ray D’Arcy, Colin confessed that he is “mad grateful for my life and my ability to be present in my life.” The 48-year-old also said James was behind his decision to check himself into rehab back in 2006. 🎥: @rteradio1

♬ original sound - Goss.ie Who are the mothers of Colin Farrell's children?Kim Bordenave

Farrell dated model Kim Bordenave from 2001 to 2003 and welcomed their son, James, in September 2003.

Although the child was diagnosed with Angelman syndrome when he was around 2 years old, Farrell waited until 2007 to reveal his diagnosis publicly. "The reason I [did reveal it] was just because I was working with the Special Olympics and they were asking me questions, and I didn't talk about my son [but] I felt like I was betraying him, like it could be misconstrued as shame—which would be terrible, because he's such a celebration," Farrell told Irish talk show host Ryan Tubridy. "He's nothing but a gift," the actor continued. "He's, as far as I'm concerned, exactly the way he should be."

In 2021, Farrell and Bordenave filed for conservatorship of James before his 18th birthday, and in 2025, Farrell revealed that they had made the decision to place their son in a long-term care facility.

“It’s tricky—some parents will say, ‘I want to take care of my child myself’, and I respect that,” Farrell told Candis Magazine.

“But my horror would be, what if I have a heart attack tomorrow, and, God forbid, James’ mother, Kim, has a car crash and she’s taken too—and then James is on his own?”

Alicja Bachleda-Curuś

Farrell met Polish actress and singer Alicja Bachleda-Curuś while filming the 2009 movie Ondine. The pair dated for about two years and welcomed son Henry in October 2009. Alas, their romance fizzled by 2010.

In recent years, Henry has been his dad’s plus-one at awards shows, including the 2023 Oscars and 2025 Emmys. 

Does Colin Farrell have custody of his oldest son?

Farrell shares responsibility for James with Bordenave.

Because James has Angelman syndrome and requires ongoing support, Farrell and Bordenave are his legal conservators. In 2025, Farrell revealed their plan to place James in a long-term care facility.

“We want him to find somewhere where he can have a full and happy life, where he feels connected,” Farrell shared.

Did Angelina Jolie and Colin Farrell date?

Rumors swirled that Farrell and Jolie were romantically involved while playing mother and son in Alexander in 2004, but neither actor ever confirmed a relationship. On the contrary, Farrell shot down rumors of a romance after the pair were seen out in London. "We went out for some drinks, as colleagues," he said, per Hello. "Don't most people go out for a few drinks with the people they work with?"

Did Colin Farrell date Demi Moore?

Farrell and Demi Moore were linked in the early 2000s and were photographed together at several events, but neither publicly confirmed a romance.

What happened with Colin Farrell and Britney Spears?

Farrell and Spears sparked headlines when they attended the 2003 premiere of The Recruit together. Farrell shut down romance rumors right from the red carpet, telling reporters, “She’s a sweet, sweet girl,. There’s nothing going on, just mates.” 

But 20 years later, Spears gave more insight into their relationship in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, and let's just say, they were more than friends.

According to the pop star, a club promoter friend set her up with Farrell after her breakup from Justin Timberlake, and the pair went on to have a “two-week brawl,” she wrote. “Brawl is the only word for it—we were all over each other, grappling so passionately it was like we were in a street fight.”

Was Colin Farrell in a relationship with Elizabeth Taylor?

They kind of were—albeit a platonic one. 

The pair met at the Cedars hospital in Los Angeles, where Taylor, then 75, was having a heart procedure and Farrell, 34, was celebrating the birth of his son. He sent the Cleopatra actress flowers; she delivered him an orchid. After that, he said in a 2013 interview with Ellen DeGeneres, they started "hanging out.” 

"She wasn't much of a sleeper at night, like I'm not," he shared. "I'd call her at two in the morning. I just adored her. She was a spectacular, spectacular woman."

“It was kind of like the last — it feels like in my head, not hers, I’m projecting — but the last kind of romantic relationship I had. Which was never consummated.”

Taylor died of congestive heart failure in 2011. Farrell gave a reading of the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem “The Leaden Echo and the Golden Echo” at her funeral.

Sara Haines Admits She Reached Out to a Bravo Star After Becoming Completely Hooked on Their Show

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:45am

Sara Haines is late to the Summer House drama, but she is already very invested.

On the June 17 episode of The View'sBehind the Table podcast, Haines told executive producer Brian Teta that she recently started watching the Bravo series after several people on staff got her into it.

She said that she devoted so much time to the show that she ended up messaging Summer House star Kyle Cooke directly.

Sara Haines Said She Got Hooked on 'Summer House'

Teta teased Haines about being "late to the game" with her new TV obsession.

Haines said she started watching because people she loves were already invested in the show.

"When someone you love cares about something, it becomes contagious eventually," Haines said.

She said the staff got her watching the Summer House reunion, and she quickly became "so deeply invested" that she went back to watch Season 10.

"I've got a lot of feelings," she said in the interview.

Haines said those feelings eventually led her to Cooke's DMs.

"So I dropped into Kyle Cooke's DMs yesterday," she said.

Teta was surprised.

"Oh, my god. You cold DMing," he said.

Haines said she was "pretty sure" Cooke had not read the message and joked that it was probably buried somewhere.

Still, she said she felt like she needed to say something.

"I needed to go on record," she said. "I really needed to speak up."

Haines Said Watching Kyle Was "Painful"

Haines said her "heart goes out" to Cooke after watching the season.

"My heart goes out to Kyle Cooke, and watching him has been very painful," she said.

Haines made it clear that she has only watched Season 10, so she is not bringing years of Summer House history into her opinion.

"A lot of people seem to hate him, but I think I have fresher eyes because I'm not carrying a narrative," she said.

She said she knows some longtime viewers feel differently about Cooke because of past seasons, but she still felt strongly about what she saw.

"Nothing merited the treatment he has gotten," Haines said.

She also said she had a "visceral reaction" watching parts of the season.

She Shared Part of the Message

Haines said her message to Cooke was long.

"The good thing is this is the one time I write a book to a guy that doesn't respond that I'm not trying to date," she joked.

She then read part of what she said she sent him.

"I just have to share how hard it's been for me to watch the season of Summer House," Haines said. "I'm a new convert to the series. So other than the reunion, I've only watched this season."

She said she told Cooke that she knew viewers were focused on the West Wilson and Amanda Batula drama, but that she was more affected by what she saw between Cooke and Batula.

"I cannot endure how she has treated you," Haines said she wrote.

She added that she told Cooke he "deserves so much more."

Teta Clarified One Detail

During the conversation, Haines referred to the situation as an "affair," but Teta clarified that Batula did not have an affair.

"They have been separated since January," Teta said.

Haines explained that she was using the word because Batula became involved with someone close to the friend group.

Bravo fans have been following the fallout from Batula's relationship with Wilson, who previously dated Ciara Miller. Cooke and Batula announced their separation in January after four years of marriage.

Haines May Not Be Done Watching

Haines said she plans to go back and watch more of Summer House to better understand the history.

"I'm going to go back and watch all those seasons," she said.

Teta joked that she may need to start a rewatch series.

Haines did not seem convinced anyone would care, but she clearly had a lot to say.

And if Cooke ever finds her message, he will know exactly where she stands.

'Build-A Cult': Josh Brolin Wants to Know What He Got Himself Into

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:42am

When a data breach exposes a secret society co-founded by one of Silicon Valley's most polarizing billionaires, most people wonder who's inside. Josh Brolin's response was something else entirely: he wanted to know what the hell he had gotten himself into.

Brolin's name surfaced this week when The Hollywood Reporter dug into materials first uncovered by WIRED identifying individuals affiliated with 'Dialog', a secretive, invite-only forum co-founded by Peter Thiel. A spokesperson for the No Country for Old Men actor told THR that Brolin would 'like to know what the f**k he got himself into.'

Dialog is a private, invitation-only network co-founded in 2006 by Palantir chairman Thiel and data entrepreneur Auren Hoffman. The organization holds off-the-record summits for powerful figures from the worlds of politics, finance, military, celebrity, and tech, and has frequently been compared to the Bilderberg Group and the World Economic Forum. The leaked agenda for the society's upcoming retreat reveals an eclectic program of off-the-record sessions, including panels titled 'Money (Does?) Buy Happiness,' 'Bring Back Nuclear,' 'How's Your Sex Life,' 'Navigating WWIII,' and, weirdly, 'Build-a-Cult.'

Brolin was nominated for membership by former Uber CEO Ryan Graves. His application included the following: 'I grew up on a horse farm, climbed parts of Everest, given academy awards, been nominated, written a book, had former Poet laureates reach out, been friends with the greatest artists of our time and smoked crack under a car at 3 am in San Francisco.' His application was given a C grade.

Other Hollywood names surfacing in the leaked materials include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Sophia Bush, music manager Scooter Braun, La La Landcomposer Benj Pasek, A24 partner Scott Belsky, The Atlantic CEO Nick Thompson, and New York Times writer Ezra Klein. WIRED described the forum as one 'whose agenda runs from panels on cult-building and sex to prepping for World War III' and noted that its confirmed attendee list spans figures as varied as Elon Musk, Senator Cory Booker, Jared Kushner, and YouTube CEO Neal Mohan.

Gordon-Levitt and Bush both moved quickly to put distance between themselves and Thiel specifically. Gordon-Levitt issued a statement on Instagram confirming he attended two Dialog conferences, but wrote: 'I do not know Peter Thiel. I've never met him. I've never spoken with him or his representatives. I've never seen him at an event. From what I've read about his views, we are political and ideological opposites.' Bush released a lengthy statement on Threads, explaining that she had accepted invitations to discuss Another Body, a documentary she executive produced about AI deepfake abuse, and the DEFIANCE Act, legislation she has championed to protect victims of non-consensual deepfake imagery.

Thiel, a co-founder of PayPal and the data-mining firm Palantir Technologies, is a prominent supporter of Vice President JD Vance and has said he voted for President Donald Trump. He donated more than $1.7 million to candidates and political parties in 2024, according to federal data, and has said publicly that he no longer believes 'freedom and democracy are compatible.' It is not clear from the leaked data whether Dialog engages in political activity, although the organization purchased land outside Washington last year for a permanent campus. The breach exposed names, phone numbers, email addresses, and birthdates of members who had been told their participation would remain private. A promise that, as of this week, no longer holds.

Hunter Biden Challenges Donald Trump Jr. to a Cage Match — Again

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:32am

Hunter Biden just challengedDonald Trump Jr. to a cage match, and it isn't the first time. What led to this over-the-top ask? The story actually begins with Joe Rogan.

Former POTUS Joe Biden’s son recently posted a lengthy rant on X, criticizing Rogan and the UFC Freedom 250 fight on the White House lawn. And while that’s kind of expected, the story doesn’t end there.

WASHINGTON, DC - JUNE 14: UFC Freedom 250 is seen on the South Lawn of the White House on June 14, 2026 in Washington, DC. President Trump is hosting a series of Ultimate Fighting Championship matches on his 80th birthday, which the White House is calling "a once-in-a-generation celebration of the American fighting spirit.” (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

Earlier in the week, on his podcast ‘The Joe Rogan Experience,’ Rogan spoke with author Chase Hughes about the UFC fight night backlash, saying, “I talked a bunch of people into going that didn't want to. Like Shane Gilliswas thinking about not going. I’m like, ‘Bro, you got to go. It’s going to be epic.’ It’s going to be a once ever thing. Not once in a lifetime. Once in anybody’s lifetime. It’s never happened before. It’s probably never going to happen again.” 

He also got into the politics of the event, saying, “So many people are trying to make it a partisan thing. Like they’re made at people for being there.” 

Enter Hunter Biden. In a very public letter to Rogan, posted on X, Biden starts with, “I wish I could sit down with you face to face and explain why so many of us were offended by the UFC fight on the South Lawn of the White House.”

Biden does admit, “For me, it had nothing to do with the UFC or who showed up for the fights. The brand you and Dana have built is a bona fide American success story. More power to you.” He continued, “And as for the people who attended, I, for one, love Shane Gillis. I think he’s hilarious and brilliant. It was a show. A once-in-a-lifetime spectacle. I can’t blame anyone for wanting to witness it firsthand.” 

If you’re wondering what Biden took issue with, he goes on to write, “My problem is that I believe some of our public spaces are sacred. And unlike many of the great powers that came before us, these American monuments belong to all of us. Not whoever happens to hold power at the moment. The White House does not belong to Donald Trump. It does not belong to any President. It belongs to the people.” 

The former President’s son continued, “The White House is not Buckingham Palace. It is not the Palace of Versailles. It is not the Forbidden City of Beijing. It does not belong to an emperor, or a king, or a commissar. The White House belongs to us. All of us. The person who sits behind the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office is nothing more than an honored guest. A temporary caretaker. The President is our servant. Not our Caesar.”

Biden ends his letter with, “P.S. Cage match between me and Don Jr.? Your call on the venue. Anywhere but the South Lawn.”

If the invitation for a Biden vs. Trump cage match seems familiar, that’s because this is the second time that Hunter has thrown down the gauntlet. 

Last April, Biden announced YouTuber Andrew Callaghan’s Carnival Tour, sharing, “I think he’s trying to organize a cage match, me versus Eric and Don Jr. I told him I’d do it. 100% in if he can pull it off.” Of course, the cage match never happened. And most likely, neither will this one.

Disneyland to Retire Iconic Gas-Powered Attractions to Comply with California's New Statewide Regulations

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:30am

As part of California's new emissions regulations, Disneyland will be making some major changes to their long-running Autopia ride vehicles, according to People magazine.

As per the outlet, the iconic California theme park now has until February of next year to move away from their gas-powered vehicles in Autopia, allowing the property to comply with the state's ongoing emissions regulations.

The new developments comes after Disney previously confirmed that they had reached an agreement with the California Air Resources Board to do away with the attraction's gas engines by early 2027.

Instead of a traditional gas engine, the park is instead developing and testing out fully electric vehicles as a replacement for Autopia's famous in-ride cars.

“Work is underway on the design, engineering and testing of a fully electric vehicle prototype, and we look forward to sharing more details soon," Disney said at the time.

The presence of Autopia's gas vehicles has long remained a point of contention between Disney and state officials responsible for policing California's statewide emissions. With the countdown officially set for February 1, 2027, the park is now fully set on removing gas engines from Disneyland, updating them with more environmentally-friendly vehicles that coincide with California's new regulations.

“As the industry moves toward alternative fuel sources, we have developed a roadmap to electrify this attraction and are evaluating technology that will enable us to convert from gas engines in the next few years," Disney previously said to The Los Angeles Times of the changes in store for Autopia.

Among the first original Disneyland attractions still standing today, Autopia initially opened inside Disney back in the park's opening of 1955. In the decades since, the ride has become a staple of Disney's flagship amusement park, with similar attractions soon opening at Disney's Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, Disneyland Paris and Hong Kong Disneyland.

1979 Rock Track, Featuring a 112-Piece Marching Band, Became an Experimental Classic

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:28am

Fleetwood Mac was already at the top of their careers by 1979 and became a staple in the rock genre. For their twelfth studio album,Lindsey Buckinghamwrote and sang "Tusk," that's tagged as having one of the best drum intros and an unsuspecting hit among critics.

"Tusk" was released in September 1979 as the New Wave and punk scene was rising in popularity. Buckingham was eager to dive into more experimental sounds on their twelfth album, with Mick Fleetwood once saying that the guitarist wanted to "follow that muse creatively" as their band and many more of their era were being seen as "dinosaurs."

As a result, Buckingham and the band developed "Tusk," which became one of their most experimental tracks and a standout classic. It peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and Cash Box. Critics described the song as having a "mesmerizing quality" and as the "most intriguing" contribution to the album, with UltimateClassicRock calling it one of the best drum solos of all time.

Buckingham once explained that they wanted the drums to have a "hypnotic feel" and found a 15-second section that worked. It led them to make "a circular loop of two-inch tape that went across the room. We let it run for ten minutes and put the song over it." The track even experimented with Kleenex boxes and lamb chops.

"Tusk" also gained attention for its use of a 112-piece marching band from the University of Southern California at the request of Fleetwood. The idea came from something the band co-founder experienced while he was on vacation in Barfleur.

“I was in a room in the town square with a horrific hangover, and I was woken by the sound of the local brass band that relentlessly went round and round the square,” he said, according to Rolling Stone. “As the day went on, they got drunker and drunker. But one thing was apparent. Everyone followed the brass band around the town, and I thought, ‘What a good idea!'”

As Fleetwood secured what he wanted, even the marching band was apprehensive of the recording and where they were going to perform. Wanting an outside setting, they worried renting Dodger Stadium would be costly, until Fleetwood offered to cover the bill. In the end, Dodgers player Ron Cey got it done for free.

Fleetwood Mac soon finished "Tusk" and were adamant that it be the title track for the album. The band felt the track would pique people's interest, with the studio agreeing it would cause conversation among fans due to it being a departure from their usual sound. The track did face some hiccups when copies of it were recalled due to a scratch on the B-side during its manufacturing, with the promo copies the only ones unaffected.

"Tusk" undoubtedly became one of Fleetwood Mac's "weirdest hits" that still stands as a classic decades later.

The '90s Hit Song That Defined Oasis Also Marked the Beginning of the End

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:26am

For most bands, the moment they finally break through is cause for celebration. For Oasis, it became something else entirely: the beginning of the end.

Long before the Britpop giants became one of the defining acts of the 1990s, Oasis were already known for their volatile chemistry, particularly between brothers Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher.

But it was during the era of their seismic breakthrough album(What’s the Story) Morning Glory?that tensions reached a boiling point, even as the band delivered the song that would define their legacy.

That song, "Wonderwall," became an instant global anthem upon its release in 1995, helping propel the band from rising UK act to international superstardom. With its acoustic-driven sound and unmistakable chorus, "Wonderwall" quickly became the track that introduced Oasis to millions of new fans and cemented their place in rock history.

But behind the scenes, the success was anything but harmonious.

As fame exploded almost overnight, internal friction within the band intensified. Studio sessions grew increasingly tense, interviews became combative, and the Gallagher brothers’ well-documented clashes began to overshadow the music itself.

Morning Glory? went on to become one of the best-selling albums of the decade. But the creative environment that produced it was unraveling just as quickly.

According to longtime accounts of the period, the pressure of sudden global success only amplified existing divisions. What should have been a career-defining moment (recording and releasing a song that would become a generational touchstone) ended up accelerating disagreements that had been simmering since the band’s earliest days.

Still, the impact of "Wonderwall" is undeniable. Decades later, it remains one of the most recognizable rock songs ever recorded, endlessly covered, streamed, and played across generations. Its success helped define not only Oasis’s legacy, but also the sound of an entire era.

Yet the story behind it carries a quieter irony: one of the biggest songs of the 1990s was born at the exact moment its creators were beginning to fall apart.

In the years that followed, Oasis would continue releasing music and touring. But the fractures that deepened during the Morning Glory? era never fully healed.

The band eventually split in 2009, closing the chapter on one of rock’s most explosive and complicated legacies.

'90s Metal Band Announces Live Album for the First Time in 22 Years 

Fri, 06/19/2026 - 9:16am

Dark Funeral is giving fans a new way to experience one of black metal's most enduring live acts.

The Swedish band has announced A Beast To Praise, its first live album in 22 years. Set for release on Aug. 21, the collection was recorded in Stockholm in 2022 and features 13 songs spanning nearly 70 minutes. Alongside the announcement, Dark Funeral unveiled the live version of "The Arrival Of Satan's Empire," offering fans a first preview of the upcoming release.

"This song has been with us for quite a while now and still remains one of the strongest songs in our live arsenal," guitarist and founding member Lord Ahriman said in a statement. "No matter where in the world we play it, the reaction is always immediate. It has even been called our 'Raining Blood' by some fans over the years."

A Beast To Praise marks Dark Funeral's first live album since 2004's De Profundis Clamavi Ad Te Domine, ending a 22-year gap between concert releases. While the band has continued releasing studio albums and touring extensively throughout that time, this is the first official live document of the group's modern era.

Formed in Stockholm in 1993, Dark Funeral emerged as one of the defining bands of the second wave of black metal. Led by Lord Ahriman, the group built its reputation on blistering speed, theatrical live performances and albums including The Secrets of the Black Arts, Diabolis Interium and Where Shadows Forever Reign, becoming one of Sweden's most influential extreme metal exports.

More recently, the band has remained a fixture on the international touring circuit while continuing to release new music, including its acclaimed 2022 album We Are the Apocalypse. This October, Dark Funeral will return to Europe as part of the In League With Satan tour alongside Behemoth and Dimmu Borgir.

"We are better live than ever before, we’re more focused on really bringing out the best show we possibly can," Ahriman told The Rock Pit.

After more than two decades without a new live album, A Beast To Praise captures a band that continues to evolve while remaining true to the sound that made it a cornerstone of black metal. For longtime fans, it offers the closest thing to standing in the front row of a Dark Funeral concert.
