Kelly Ripa and her husband, Mark Consuelos, love to maintain aesthetics as they recently opened up about their unusual bathroom design and their even more bizarre toilet paper choice.

It comes after the couple clashed on air about “just because day,” with Kelly arguing that it’s not an appropriate thing to say, especially to children.

Despite their small arguments, Mark Consuelos believes he “chose” the “right” partner in Kelly Ripa ahead of their 30th wedding anniversary next year.

Ripa and  Consuelos recently gave a peek into one of the bathrooms in their multi-million dollar mansion, and it doesn’t get as unusual as this.

In an interview with People Magazine on the set of their daytime talk show, “Live with Kelly and Mark,” last week, the couple revealed that they have a black bathroom stuffed with black tissue paper to match.

“Somebody — as a gift, as a joke — said that you need black toilet paper in this black bathroom,” Ripa said. “And you know what? It actually looks normal because the white toilet paper was the thing that looked really strange.”

Her husband, however, disagreed, saying, “It doesn’t feel normal.” Ripa then said, “Nobody really uses that toilet,” but Consuelos noted that he has.

“Well, there you go,” she retorted, adding, “I have not used the black toilet tissue. I just like the way it looks. It blends into the wall.”

The Couple Has A Cheeky Name For Their Dressing Rooms

Elsewhere in the live interview, the couple revealed the playful nicknames they made up for their individual dressing rooms.

According to the news outlet, Ripa said it was her husband’s “idea” for them to name the space “Lucy and Desi” as inspired by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz.

“Lucy and Desi,” Consuelos reveals. “Desi is the guy’s bathroom; Lucy is the girls.”

His wife added, “There’s like a Lucy and a Desi, and he likes that. So that’s what he named our dressing rooms. It’s kind of cool.”

Ripa and Consuelos, who tied the knot in May 1996 and share three children together, have been a staple fixture on their daytime talk show since the “Riverdale” actor joined in April 2023.

Prior to that, she hosted it with Ryan Seacrest for 6 seasons beginning in 2017.

Kelly Ripa And Mark Consuelos Don’t plan To Leave Their House

The power couple gave fans a look at their chic New York City townhouse during a video tour with Architectural Digest last year.

In the clip, the “All My Children” actress revealed that their family had lived in the location for more than 12 years and is their “favorite place on earth.”

“We’ve moved several times in our lives, but no matter where we go, for me, this is my forever home,” Ripa said as she flaunted their cozy bedroom, per People Magazine.

“When I walked in here, I was like, ‘This is the final place where I will live.’ I love this house so much,” she added.

Commenting on the large mirror on the wall opposite their bed, Consuelos said, “And don’t think we’re crazy about putting a mirror in front of our bed. It hides a TV.”

“Ripa then joked, ‘Yeah, we don’t stare at ourselves. We watch Judge Judy in here.'”

It was then that she revealed that they don’t plan to ever relocate from the property.

“I  don’t want to sound morbid,” she said, “but they’ll have to carry me out of here feetfirst because I have gotten good and comfortable in this house.”

Their long-standing marriage has been an enviable feat for a power couple in Hollywood.

Back in July, at the premiere of their ESPN docuseries “Running with the Wolves,” Consuelos opened up about their plan for the future ahead of their 30th wedding anniversary next year.

“I’ve been planning with this lady here since the day I met her, and that’s part of the beauty, I think, of our relationship, is always making plans for what comes next,” he said. “Some are really exciting, some are a little scary, but that’s [life].”

“I think you have to choose somebody that you can dream with and I surely chose right,” he added.

Nevertheless, they sometimes clash over family matters, as witnessed on a pre-taped segment for the show last week.

During their show, Consuelos proposed that they participate in a “Just Because Day,” which aims to celebrate doing things “just because.”

Things then got a little awkward when Ripa said she was “taking the day off – just because,” before weighing in on the effects of telling children no to something, “just because,” per The Blast.

“When you say ‘because I said so’ or ‘just because’ [to a child], it literally sends kids’ brains into a short circuit and it makes them feel unempowered,” she explained.

“They should. They’re kids,” her husband shot back, dragging her into an awkward back-and-forth.

Consuelos, however, agreed with his wife, noting that he would prefer for things to be properly explained to him instead of being told, “just because.”

WNBA Exec Pushes Angel Reese To Leave Chicago Sky Following ‘Embarrassing’ Team Drama: ‘Request A Trade’

Days after Angel Reese sparked much controversy following her comments about the Chicago Sky, a WNBA exec has urged her to leave the team.

Amidst the ongoing drama between Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky, an unnamed WNBA executive has reportedly encouraged the young superstar to seek greener pastures. Last week, Reese made headlines once again after comments she made about her team’s front office were taken out of context and used against her. The situation escalated quickly, culminating in the Sky suspending the LSU alum for making comments “detrimental to the team.”

WNBA Exec Urges Angel Reese To Leave The Chicago Sky For Better Opportunities

According to a new report from Dallas Hoops Journal, an unnamed WNBA executive has voiced their opinion on Reese’s relationship with the Chicago Sky.

“She needs to get the hell out of there,” the executive said about the Windy City organization, which was voted the worst-run franchise by WNBA players in an anonymous 2025 poll.

“Chicago is probably the worst-run organization in the league. You’re gonna suspend your best player just because she’s putting pressure on you to get better? That was embarrassing to see,” they added.

The executive touched on the strong likelihood of Chicago trading her during the offseason. However, they said if the team goes in a different direction, Reese “should request a trade.”

The Chicago Sky Had A Terrible Season

It’s no secret to any fan of basketball that the Chicago Sky had an abysmal season (10-32 at the time of this article), struggling on both ends of the floor, ranking near the bottom of the league in both offensive and defensive efficiency. They’re currently last in the league in points per game and lead the league in turnovers, averaging a high of 16.5 per contest.

Of course, there have been some bright spots throughout the Sky’s season, clinching wins over two of the league’s top teams in the New York Liberty and Minnesota Lynx. Reese has also shown considerable improvement, cleaning up her finishes around the rim while continuing to dominate on the boards, leading the league in rebounds per game with 12.6.

Reese also took on a much larger role during her sophomore season after veteran point guard Courtney Vandersloot was ruled out due to injury, going on to lead her team in points, rebounds, and assists. She snagged her first triple-double of her career during a contest against the Connecticut Sun and also set a record for most double-doubles in a player’s first two seasons with 46.

Angel Reese Asks Team For Better Players

With her performance and undeniably high level of effort on the court, it only makes sense that Reese would want to be surrounded by the best of the best. She spoke about her desire to improve her situation in Chicago with reporters last week, saying, “I am very vocal about what we need and what I want.”

However, it was her following comments, “I’d like to be here for my career, but if things don’t pan out, obviously I might have to move in a different direction and do what’s best for me,” that really got people riled up.

As she continued, Reese told the media that she wouldn’t be “settling for the same sh-t we did this year.”

“We have to get good players. We have to get great players. That’s a non-negotiable for me. I’m willing and wanting to play with the best. And however I can help to get the best here, that’s what I’m going to do this offseason,” she said.

Reese’s Comments Led To Suspension

Reese’s statements, however, were not well-received by some of her teammates or the Chicago Sky’s front office.

Although the 6’3″ power forward apologized and publicly stated she was “frustrated” with how her language was taken out of context, the WNBA team suspended the Baltimore native for the first half of their contest against the Las Vegas Aces.

In a statement shared on social media, the Sky explained that it “values the safety, respect, and well-being of every player.”

They went on, calling Reese’s comments “detrimental to the team” before saying the matter was “handled and resolved internally.”

Fans Are Ready For Angel Reese To Move On

Social media erupted with thinkpieces following the news of Reese’s suspension; however, the most notable and common phrase floating around was “Free Angel.”

Today, that sentiment remains, with users sharing passionate opinions on Reese’s future in Chicago while slamming the franchise for seemingly fumbling its relationship with one of the league’s most talked-about players.

“Shame on the Chicago Sky FO. She receives so much scrutiny, especially on social media, that they were out to embarrass her, but it backfired,” someone wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

Andy Cohen‘s tune is “It Wasn’t Me!” after helping Howard Stern carry out his comeback prank.

The reality TV host finally revealed what really happened behind the scenes when he led listeners to believe the radio legend was off the air for good.

Howard Stern had fueled speculations of an exit from SiriusXM for weeks now, following an alleged strain in their professional relationship and emerging competitors within the network.

The “Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen” let the cat out of the bag on the short prank he played on the radio, which startled fans across America. 

He had informed Stern’s teeming listeners that the radio host was out of SiriusXM after weeks of rumors. As the show went on, Stern rejoined, dispelling all the rumors of any hassle with the producers and reaffirming his commitment to giving his fans a swell time on the show.

Cohen later explained to curious paparazzi that the idea was purely Stern’s and he was just happy to be a solid wingman. He confessed that he found pleasure in watching news outlets such as Variety and the Associated Press report the news of Stern’s departure from the network.

Cohen stressed that the split reactions from fans towards the news even made things more interesting. Per TMZ, he noted that the fans were either very amused by the news or were just angry that one of their favorite radio heads was gone.

What The Media Personality Said About His Alleged Show Cancellation

As soon as Stern took over the anchor chair from Cohen, he clarified to fans that all the tension that had been building up for weeks was to prepare them for an exciting return to doing what he loves.

He assured his listeners that all was well with the producers and the network, noting that the reason for his September 2 absence was that he fell ill.

As reported by The Blast, his triumphant return to television last Tuesday was canceled at the last minute, as he explained that it was due to a sickness he could not ignore.

When reports of his exit were at their peak, insiders shared that the radio presenter and the show producers were not agreeing on a particular sum as his salary. Howard’s expectations regarding payment were reportedly cut short, as the company felt he was no longer worth the investment.

Stern Was Alledgedly Desperate To Boost His Listeners’ Count

The radio show host was also accused of employing very desperate measures to stay relevant, including orchestrating several hoaxes. Stern was fixated on increasing his embarrassingly declining ratings, and if it meant promoting rumors of a feud with SiriusXM, he was ready to do it.

The radio host lost a significant chunk of his listeners in recent times, with a whopping reduction from 20 million daily tune-ins to a meagre 125,000.

Regarding who or what is to blame for his misfortune, sources reveal that it is no one but himself, having devised the counterproductive measure of repeatedly condemning Trump, which upset MAGA supporters.

He had reportedly told Trump fans to avoid his show, an action he later regretted, but it was too late for anything to change. Now, he is back to correct the alleged error, with hopes that the disgruntled listeners return.

The Host Reportedly Considered Getting Into Talks With Other Platforms

Despite the challenges faced by Stern on the show, reports from inside the network noted that he stuck to his guns and insisted the network had much to gain from his years of experience.

The Blast stated that he remained unconvinced that his career was waning due to age or pushing out mediocre content. The most jarring part of Stern’s journey with the network was the risk of his newly signed $500 million deal not getting renewed.

Following the dark cloud masking his progress with SiriusXM, Stern reportedly planned to consult producers with HBO or Netflix to have him on one or more of their shows.

“He wants it all to end on his terms. He believes he deserves that for all that he has done in the medium,” a source revealed about what awaits SiriusXM if they really sever ties with the radio host.

Inside Howard Stern’s Mouthwatering Net Worth

The 71-year-old reportedly has an impressive treasury worth $650 million after over four decades of hosting radio shows. Celebrity Net Worth shared that other ventures, including book deals, multiple pay-per-view programs, two late-night talk shows, and several albums, sprang up from his radio career.

He exited the regular radio scene in 2005 and signed his $500 million, five-year radio deal with SiriusXM, with a debut in 2006. Since then, he has amassed over $1 billion with the network, adding to his backlog of millions during his time on regular radio shows.

He extended his deal with SiriusXM in 2020 with another five-year deal worth $600 million. In addition to his flawless radio career and earnings, he also boasts of $100 million investment in real estate.

Howard Stern’s listeners must be celebrating his return.

Kevin Costner Slams Amended Sexual Harassment Lawsuit As ‘Same Old Nonsense’

Kevin Costner was sued by Devyn LaBella, a stunt performer, for unruly sexual conduct towards her during an unscripted rape scene.

Kevin Costner and his attorney are calling BS on the ongoing rape scene lawsuit.

The actor’s camp has now given their word on the amended sexual harassment lawsuit from his accuser. The attorney described it as still significantly lacking in any truth to claim he was guilty.

Kevin Costner was sued by Devyn LaBella, a stunt performer, for unruly sexual conduct towards her during an unscripted rape scene for their movie “Horizon 2.”

Kevin Costner’s Attorney Slams The Stunt Performer’s Claims As Made Up

The actor’s lawyer, Marty Singer, described LaBella’s new filing as the same account of previously unfounded allegations against his client. He added that about 12 independent witnesses are willing to puncture LaBella’s accusations and prove they are fabricated.

Singer declared that his client is willing to be very transparent about everything that went down on set and will only stand up for the truth at all times.

In her new filing, LaBella claimed she was on her period during the alleged unscripted rape scene, noting that her panties and underwear were exposed when his pantaloons were forcefully ripped.

Per TMZ, Costner had insisted every part of LaBella’s clothing, including her pantaloons and petticoats, was untouched during the scene.

The stunt performer continued that while she had no issue with filming the scene days before, Costner decided to be spontaneous by urging the cast and crew to film an unscripted rape scene that very day.

She revealed that the scene required her to be raped by a character played by actor Roger Ivens while she was stuck in a covered wagon. She accused Costner of ignoring calls to have an intimacy coordinator at the scene.

She recalled struggling under the weight of Ivens, who pinned her down with his large, muscular body and placed his hand near her vaginal and breast area. Ivens reportedly also stretched his limbs across her body and even got on top of her on all fours as he mounted her.

As shared by The Blast, Costner demanded that LaBella’s lawsuit be thrown out due to the false account she gave.

He noted that her claims in the filing greatly contrasted with her body language on set after shooting the scene. Costner claimed she even sent a text to a supervisor on set, appreciating them for having such a good time on set. 

“Thank you for these wonderful weeks! I so appreciate you! I learned so much, and thank you again. I’m really happy it worked out the way it did, too. Have a great rest of the shoot, and yes, talk soon!” were the words of LaBella to the supervisor in the text.

He explained in his filing that LaBella showed up on set fully dressed for the scene in an ankle-length outfit with shorts underneath to protect her from showing too much. Costner stressed that there was zero nudity, simulated sex, or physical contact between the duo as she claimed in her lawsuit.

Away from the drama of “Horizon,” which underperformed at the box office, failing to match its budget in earnings, Costner has secured another hit in the making.

The Blast noted that the star will be appearing alongside Gyllenhaal for a movie project titled “Honeymoon with Harry.” The movie, based on Bart Barker’s 2016 book “Honeymoon with Harry”, will have Glenn Ficarra and John Requa behind the director’s boot.

The movie features Gyllenhaal’s character on a honeymoon with his late partner’s father after she died a few days before their wedding. Amazon MGM Studios will release Costner’s upcoming drama-comedy project.

Costner’s and Gyllenhaal’s new movie will reportedly begin filming by 2026 in several locations across Australia.

The 70-year-old sent reporters into a frenzy after he attended the JAS Labor Day Experience festival near Aspen with rumored partner Kelly Noonan Gores, although they arrived separately at the event.

The duo, rumored to be casually dating, found love after getting involved in tumultuous marriages. She is described as Costner’s type to the letter due to some endearing qualities she possesses.

“They have a lot in common: the outdoors, sports — she likes to surf — long walks with dogs. Also, she has young kids, and he loves kids, so he thinks that’s cute. He says she is just ‘chill,’ which is what he needs right now,” a source noted.

As of right now, the couple is reportedly taking each day as it comes, no thanks to the long-distance nature of their romance. While Costner resides in Carpinteria, California, his rumored lover stays 100 miles away in Manhattan Beach.

The duo also has a great friendship on the horizon, should a romantic relationship fail to work out due to the nature of their meeting, which happened through a mutual friend.

Arnold Schwarzenegger’s Mini-Me Son Joseph Baena, Excluded From His Half-Brother Patrick’s Wedding Guest List

Patrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion tied the knot at Idaho’s  Gozzer Ranch celebrating with family, including Arnold Schwarzenegger.MEGAPatrick Schwarzenegger and Abby Champion tied the knot at Idaho’s Gozzer Ranch after nearly a decade together, celebrating with family, including Arnold Schwarzenegger and Chris Pratt. However, absent from the guest list was Joseph Baena, Arnold’s son with Mildred Peña, who instead shared summer highlights on Instagram with his girlfriend, model Mel Randel. This is not the first time the divide in the family has been noticed, as Joseph Baena was also left out of a group photo with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his other half-siblings at the actor’s event. Why Joseph Baena Was Absent From Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Wedding Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency/MEGA According to TMZ, Joseph Baena was nowhere to be seen at Patrick Schwarzenegger’s wedding to Abby Champion in northern Idaho, and that’s because he wasn’t on the guest list. Sources close to the situation say Baena, who shares no real bond with Patrick or his siblings, was never invited. The exclusion isn’t shocking, considering the complicated family history. Baena is the son Arnold Schwarzenegger fathered during an affair with the family’s longtime housekeeper, Mildred Peña, a secret that became public in 2010 when Baena was 13. Though Arnold has made efforts to be present in Baena’s life, attending his graduation and celebrating milestones, the two sides of the family have remained separate. Patrick Schwarzenegger Once Made An Effort To Connect With Joseph Baena, But The Half-Siblings Remain Distant Photo credit: Lumeimages / MEGA The divide among Arnold’s children was evident earlier this year at the Los Angeles premiere of Arnold’s Netflix series “Fubar.” A family photo featured Katherine, Christina, Patrick, Christopher, and even Chris Pratt, but not Baena. Later, however, Arnold posed separately with his look-alike son on the red carpet. Unlike Baena’s other half-siblings, Patrick made an effort to connect with his half-brother, as evidenced by their 2021 workout session together. However, nothing seems to have come of that ever since. Katherine, Christina, and Christopher, on the other hand, have reportedly made no attempts to connect with their youngest sibling. According to Page Six, Baena is “very close” to his dad, Arnold, but the same can not be said for the rest of the family. A source told the news outlet that “the other kids don’t love Joe,” hinting that the resentment over the movie star’s affair has unfortunately been aimed at Baena. “The other kids take [the affair] out on Joe,” the source claimed.

The couple exchanged vows on a bluff overlooking the scenic Lake Coeur d’Alene, surrounded by family and close friends. Abby looked radiant in a romantic, sleeveless cream gown with a full skirt and flowing veil, while Patrick complemented her in a sharp cream tuxedo paired with classic black trousers. The celebration brought together both families, including Patrick’s father, Arnold, who looked stylish in a navy blue suit, and his mother, Maria Shriver, who glowed in a blush pink dress. Abby’s parents, Greg and Laura, were also present, with Laura donning an elegant lilac gown. The guest list included familiar faces such as Patrick’s sister Katherine and her husband, actor Chris Pratt, along with Abby’s sister, model Baskin Champion. Throughout the evening, the bride and groom were all smiles, mingling with guests and enjoying their first hours as husband and wife. See photos from the couple’s special day here. Patrick Schwarzenegger And Abby Champion’s Nearly Decade-Long Love Story CraSH/imageSPACE / MEGA Patrick and Abby’s love story began back in 2015, and after nearly a decade together, they made things official with their wedding in Idaho. The couple first announced their engagement in December 2023 through a joint Instagram post captioned, “FOREVER AND EVER.” Patrick later revealed that their wedding plans had been slightly delayed due to his career. During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show” in May, the actor explained that just days after their engagement, he landed the role of Saxon Ratliff in season three of HBO’s “The White Lotus.” “Finally, a year and a half ago, we got engaged. And it was our moment; it was this great thing,” Patrick recalled, per the Daily Mail. “And a few days later, I booked White Lotus, and I was like, ‘Abby, I know we’re in this high of engagement, and we’re gonna get married this year. But we’re going to have to push it. I got White Lotus, and I’m going to film for the next seven months in Thailand.” Fortunately, Abby was nothing but supportive. A longtime fan of the series, she was thrilled for Patrick’s opportunity. “She was so happy. She was ecstatic because she was a huge fan,” he said.

The 27-year-old recently posted a photo dump on Instagram, kicking things off with a cozy snap alongside his girlfriend, Dutch model Mel Randel. In the picture, Randel hugs Baena from behind as they pose on a pier with the ocean in the background. The two looked smitten, with Randel later commenting, “Every day with you is like Labor Day weekend.” Baena’s gallery also featured a mix of solo highlights: hitting the gym with friends, flexing like his famous dad, and even catching waves while surfing. He captioned the post, “The in between days,” giving followers a peek into his fun-filled summer. Baena and Randel have been together for more than two years, during which they’ve traveled the world, made appearances at events like the Golden Globes, and even joined Arnold for family time, including a trip to Canada last summer.

Aaron Rodgers Slams Former NFL Team In Candid Post-Game Interview: ‘Happy To Beat Everybody With The Jets’

Aaron Rodgers didn’t mince his words while speaking about his former NFL team, the New York Jets, in a post-game conference.Steven Bergman/AFF-USA.COM / MEGA Aaron Rodgers had an exceptional start to the 2025 NFL season, leading the Pittsburgh Steelers to an electrifying 34-32 win over Justin Fields and the New York Jets. The victory was undoubtedly a special one for the 41-year-old Super Bowl champion, considering it came against the very team that released him in March 2025. Following the thrilling win, Aaron Rodgers spoke with reporters about his performance and didn’t hold back, sharing his true, unfiltered feelings about his former team. Aaron Rodgers Doesn’t Have Anything Kind To Say After Defeating The New York Jets On NFL Sunday “I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets.” —Aaron Rodgers after his 34-32 win over the Jets pic.twitter.com/WyAqADIYsp — SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) September 7, 2025 “I was happy to beat everybody associated with the Jets,” Rodgers stated after the game at MetLife Stadium, pointing to previous comments and concerns he heard from Jets staffers about his ability to continue performing at a high level in the league. “But there were probably people in the organization that didn’t think I could play anymore. So it was nice to remind those people that I still can,” he said. Rodgers described his team’s win as “nice … especially hearing some of the catcalls out there and the boo-birds.” Although the NFL MVP insists he isn’t “sensitive,” he said being met with some negativity actually fueled him. “I expected that. I kinda like that,” he stated. Aaron Rodgers’ Former Teammates Knew He’d Perform Tammie Arroyo / AFF-USA.COM / MEGA Rodgers’ dominating performance was to be expected. Per a previous report from The Blast, several NFL stars predicted he would have a stellar comeback season following his release from the Jets. Aaron Jones of the Minnesota Vikings told reporters that Rodgers would now “have a chip on his shoulder,” adding, “He’s going to go out and show that, ‘You guys made the wrong decision. I got a lot of ball left, and we’re going to be good.'” CJ Mosley, a former defensive tackle for the Jets, also shed some light on Rodgers’ time with the team, which was marred after he ruptured his left Achilles tendon during their season opener against the Buffalo Bills in 2023. “He did some great things this year, hitting his 500th touchdown. He was a leader, no matter what, when he came into the locker room, and that was evident when he was with us this year. Nothing but respect for him to come back from the Achilles, 40-plus years old,” Mosley said. Mosley also defended Rodgers’ tenure with the Jets despite the team’s disappointing 5-12 record in 2024, insisting that Rodgers had nothing to be ashamed of. “I know the wins and losses can get in the way of a lot of things that you can accomplish, but there’s no reason for him to leave New York with his head down ’cause I know he gave us his all,” he said. Fans React To Rodgers’ Comments   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by NFL on ESPN (@espnnfl) However, not everyone was thrilled with Rodgers’ post-game comments, with several social media users calling the former Green Bay Packers star out for being brash. “How does anyone actually like this guy?” a user wrote, while another posted, “Y’all barely won. Calm down.” Many other users chimed in, mocking the California native while predicting another mediocre season. “Glad I got to boo you live, sir,” someone wrote, prompting another to share, “I can’t wait to watch this all fall apart for him.” Aaron Rodgers Signed A $13 Million Contract With The Steelers MEGA News about Rodgers’ new $13.65 million contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers became public knowledge in June 2025. During a previous interview, as reported by PEOPLE, the veteran quarterback shared that his family actually had a significant impact on where he ended up. Rodgers explained that he was “taking orders” from his in-laws, specifically a 20-year-old named Mia, adding, “She’s… the brains of the family; you just have to ask her.” He laughed briefly before discussing the details of his massive, one-year deal, saying, “Every team that I talked to, I said, ‘Listen, if I play, I’m not going to take a ton of money. I’ve made a ton of money. I don’t need the money.'” Aaron Rodgers Returned For His ‘Soul’ MEGA Rodgers went on to say that he returned to the NFL for his 21st season for one reason only: “my soul.” Although he could have left football behind, he wanted to ensure the decision he made was truly right for him. “A lot of decisions that I’ve made over my career and life from strictly the ego, even if they turn out well, are always unfulfilling. But the decisions made from the soul are usually pretty fulfilling,” he said. “This was a decision that was best for my soul, and I felt like being here with coach [Mike Tomlin] and the guys that got here and the opportunity here was the best for me, and I’m excited to be here.”

Dressed in a chic white structured shirt-dress and knee-high black boots, Araujo arrived with a bouquet of white roses in hand.

Backstage, she wrapped D’Amelio in an emotional hug, drawing applause from castmates and crew who witnessed the heartfelt moment.

“She’s been juggling so much between Broadway, social media, and everything else,” Araujo said. “But she showed up every night and gave people something special. That’s not easy.”

For her last performance as Charmion, D’Amelio had the audience on its feet.

Her run, which extended beyond its original end date, concluded on September 7 with cheers, flowers, and ovations.

Fans showered her with love as the curtain closed on a chapter that showcased her versatility beyond TikTok fame.

“Charli didn’t phone it in,” Araujo added. “She committed. You could see it in every scene.”

The applause was not only for D’Amelio’s acting but also for her resilience in navigating multiple worlds at once: social media stardom, Broadway rehearsals, and live performances.

Araujo’s presence underscored the supportive bond between the two young stars.

After the curtain fell, Araujo was spotted leaving the theater with a smile, her bouquet still in hand.

However, the night didn’t end there as she transitioned seamlessly back into the Fashion Week whirlwind, attending an uptown dinner event.

“New York’s energy is different this week,” she said. “You go from runway fittings to Broadway sendoffs, and somehow it all fits. That’s what I love about this city.”

For Araujo, the week wasn’t just about fashion, but about friendship, performance, and the unique blend of artistry that only New York can deliver.

Araujo wants to enjoy every bit of her experience.

Before heading to New York Fashion Week, she made a stylish stop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, where she joined country music star Dustin Lynch and Corinna Kopf for the grand opening of Two Dimes, the city’s newest nightlife destination.

The Brazilian model and influencer turned heads in a motocross-inspired blue jersey, paired with a black mini skirt and suede boots.

Social media personality Corinna Kopf also drew attention in a corset-style top and white skirt as the two posed together, laughing and leaning into cameras throughout the night.

“This was such a fun night,” Araujo told The Blast. “It felt so good to celebrate in Tuscaloosa before heading to New York. The energy here was unreal.”

The event quickly became a celebrity trifecta with Lynch’s arrival. Known for hits like “Small Town Boy” and “Thinking’ Bout You,” he mingled with guests in a sleeveless tee and baseball cap while stopping to pose for photos.

“It was all about good energy tonight,” Lynch said. “Tuscaloosa knows how to show up, and it’s great to see new places like this bring people together.”

For Camilla Araujo, the stop in Alabama wasn’t just about fun but also a moment of balance before the chaos of Fashion Week.

She revealed she has multiple shows and after-parties on her calendar, but grounding nights like this keep her inspired.

“Fashion Week is always a whirlwind, but I love making time for moments like this. It keeps everything fun and grounded,” she said. “I’m beyond excited to take some of these looks to New York. Tuscaloosa was the warm-up — Fashion Week is the main stage.”

Prince Harry‘s U.K. visit for the WellChild Awards coincided with Queen Elizabeth II’s death anniversary, fueling speculation of a reunion with King Charles.

However, while the king, battling cancer, is said to long for reconciliation, he reportedly risks straining ties with Prince William, who remains resentful of his younger brother.

Although Prince Harry has expressed forgiveness and offered transparency by sharing his schedule, security disputes and Prince William’s anger remain major obstacles on the path to peace.

King Charles reportedly faces a dilemma as tensions between his sons continue to weigh heavily on the royal family.

Harry arrived in London on September 8 to attend the annual WellChild Awards, an event that honors children with serious health challenges and their families.

His visit coincided with the third anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s death, prompting speculation over whether he might reconcile with his father.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital that the king’s ongoing cancer battle has made the estrangement with Harry even harder to bear.

“The very public royal rift has been a source of grief for him. It has meant that he has not seen his grandchildren for years,” Fitzwilliams explained. “Obviously, reconciliation, especially when illness is involved, is highly desirable. But for it to work, there must be mutual trust.”

However, while Charles may be open to reconnecting with his youngest son, royal analyst Hilary Fordwich noted the risks such a move could carry.

“If the king concedes to a meeting with Harry, he risks alienating Prince William,” she warned.

Fordwich continued, “If he doesn’t, he will deepen the rift with Harry and risk more backlash from his son, who was already upset last time when the king had ‘other priorities.”

William, meanwhile, appears to remain the least willing to forgive Harry and reconcile. Royal commentator Ian Pelham Turner stressed that the brothers are still not on speaking terms.

“There have been many reports in the British press that William is still extremely angry with Harry and does not want his father softening his position by meeting with him or allowing contact,” Turner said.

Despite this, Turner suggested Charles sees it as his “Christian duty” to “welcome Harry, Meghan Markle and their family back into the fold.”

Broadcaster Helena Chard, however, suggested reconciliation may not be as straightforward within the family.

“Prince William will also be reminded of his brother’s poor behavior, which sadly impacted and burdened his beloved grandmother’s last few years of her life,” she noted, adding, “Prince William will struggle to ever forgive Harry.”

Turner recalled a recent conversation with a member of a Middle Eastern royal family, who described Charles as “more powerful and stronger these days than people understand.”

He emphasized that the King “will make his own decisions on the future of the monarchy, although there were some allegations about Meghan in the past, which may worry him. Personally, I want to see unity.”

Turner also noted that the solemn anniversary will weigh deeply on the king.

“The anniversary of Queen Elizabeth’s death will weigh heavily on the king’s mind right now, and any last promises he may have made to her in those final hours,” Turner reflected.

He added, “I feel that this could be a very good time emotionally for the king to be reunited with Harry and heal the wounds between them.”

Harry’s visit to the U.K. comes against the backdrop of his repeated calls for healing within the royal family.

Earlier this year, the Duke of Sussex openly expressed his wish to mend strained ties, telling BBC News in May that “life is precious” and there was “no point continuing to fight anymore.”

Acknowledging years of disagreements, Harry said he has now “forgiven” his family and longs for peace.

However, he admitted that disputes over his personal security remain a major “sticking point.”

“The King won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” he revealed, before adding that he no longer wants conflict and did “not know how much longer my father has.”

In what appeared to be another olive branch, reports in July claimed Harry offered to share his official schedule of public appearances with the royal household.

The move, seen as an effort toward transparency, would not only prevent clashes between his engagements and those of the working royals but also allow William’s team to coordinate more effectively.
