Whew, chile…
While Chrisean Rock was recently streaming with friends, #RayJ was heard off-camera making a serious allegation about his ex, Kim Kardashian, and her mother, Kris Jenner.
According to the One Wish artist, the feds are coming for Kim and Kris. Ray didn’t specify what for, but he did say it will be “worse than Diddy’s” RICO trial.

After the Prince and Princess of Wales’s busywork theatrics in the past two weeks, I expected them to take a multiweek vacation to recover. I guess that isn’t happening yet – surely, the kids’ school has a half-term break coming up? So, dreadfully, William and Kate are back at work yet again, the poor exhausted sausages. They stepped out today – in what was an unannounced appearance – in Southport. Southport was devastated in July 2024 when a man with a knife violently attacked adults and children at a Taylor Swift-themed dance class. King Charles was sent to Southport to meet with the victims’ families pretty quickly, but William and Kate waited months to visit. Well, today was their second visit.
They visited the Farnborough Road Infant and Junior School. They pulled kids out of class to greet Kate and William (only Kate crouched down to the kids’ level). They also met with a victim’s family and her teachers and friends. Kate told the kids: “I’m very impressed with all of you and all the hard work you’re doing. What a fantastic thing to learn to raise money to help other people. Keep up your hard work.”
This kind of visit isn’t about clothes, and I don’t have the IDs on Kate’s ensemble. She wore grey trousers (with cuffs??), a grey overcoat and a pink pussybow blouse. I kind of think the pussybow ruins the look – a regular pink blouse would have been fine here. Even Kate’s hairpiece seemed subdued out of respect for the Southport community.

Claressa Shields and Papoose are celebrating their 1-year anniversary with sweet posts on social media.
On Tuesday, September 23, Claressa Shields took to her Instagram to share a special post with her more than 1.6 million followers and, more importantly, with her man.
“Happy 1 year anniversary @papoose! 365 days of love with my favorite person 😊. You’ve been my rock, guiding me through the ups and downs. Thanks for being my partner in crime, for the laughter, advice, and endless love. You’re one of a kind! 😚😮💨🥹 Cheers to many more! #Claressashields #Gwoat #papoose #papooseandclaressa,” she wrote.
Furthermore, her post featured 17 slides — most of which showed her and Papoose embracing, smiling, laughing, and planting kisses on one another.
Peep her post below.
Furthermore, a few hours later, Papoose took to his Instagram account to share his own post celebrating his 1-year milestone with Shields. Additionally, his post featured a video and photo of him and his boo attending the recent ‘VMA’ award show.
“They say time flies when you’re having fun. Can’t believe it’s been 1 full year already. Happy 1 year anniversary to my 💎 @claressashields #countinggreenchallenge,” he captioned the post.
Social media users weighed in on the pair’s milestone in The Shade Room’s comment section.

While Instagram user @jay_montana_ added, “He better not hurt her because the crash out will not be normal”
Instagram user @c_the_blondebombshell wrote, “I just want her to be happy in silence. Because adding us to the group chat every time he pours her a bowl of cereal is too much.”

Before celebrating her 1-year anniversary with Papoose, Claressa Shields turned heads alongside his eldest daughter, Dejanae Mackie. As The Shade Room previously reported, Shields linked up with Mackie to show off their new ‘Counting Green’ dance challenge. The title originates from Papoose’s recent song collaboration with Busta Rhymes.
What Do You Think Roomies?
Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional and lengthy monologue during his taped return to ABC on September 23, 2025. The network reinstated his late-night comedy show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, less than a week after his comment about Charlie Kirk‘s suspected shooter, Tyler Robinson, caused an uproar among critics, many of whom are asking if he apologized.
Keep reading to find out whether or not Kimmel’s monologue included an apology.
Depending where you’re located, Jimmy Kimmel Live! is available to watch on ABC. However, Nexstar Media Group and Sinclair Broadcast Group pre-empted the show from its ABC-affiliated stations in multiple regions of the country.
Viewers can stream Kimmel’s show on either Hulu or Disney+ after episodes air on ABC.
No, Kimmel did not make a formal apology for the comment he made about Kirk’s alleged shooter and the “MAGA gang” on September 15. He did, however, get emotional during his monologue while clarifying that he “never” meant to “make light” of Kirk’s killing.
“It was never my intention to make light of the murder of a young man,” Kimmel said while fighting back tears.. “I don’t think there’s anything funny about it. … [It wasn’t] my intention to blame any specific group for the actions what — it was obviously a deeply disturbed individual. … That was really the opposite of the point I was trying to make, but I understand that, to some, it felt either ill-timed or unclear, or maybe both. And for those who think I did point a finger, I get why you’re upset. If the situation was reversed, there’s a good chance I’d have felt the same way.”
Kimmel also pointed out that he immediately sent his condolences to Kirk’s widowed wife, Erika Kirk, and their children when the Turning Point USA founder was shot.
Kimmel had multiple talking points throughout his half-hour-long monologue. He praised Kirk’s wife for forgiving her late husband’s killer.
“She forgave him. That is an example we should follow,” Kimmel continued while his voice broke with emotion. “If you believe in the teachings of Jesus, as I do, there it was. That, that’s it. A selfless act of grace. Forgiveness from a grieving widow. It touched me deeply, and I hope it touches many. And if there’s anything we should take from this tragedy to carry forward, I hope it can be that.”
The comedian also shared his reaction to Disney’s decision to pull him from the air one week prior, saying he was “not happy” about it.
“I did not agree with that decision, and I told them that, and we had many conversations,” he explained. “I shared my point of view; they shared theirs. We talked it through, and at the end, even though they didn’t have to, they really didn’t have to — this is a giant company. We have short attention spans, and I am a tiny part of the Disney Corporation. They welcomed me back on the air, and I thank them for that.”
Kimmel also poked fun at his employer by reading a fake note from Disney encouraging viewers to re-subscribe to Disney+ and Hulu after countless people canceled their accounts.
Lastly, Kimmel did not hold back from slamming Donald Trump and the FCC for their statements about talk show hosts.
“The president of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs,” Kimmel pointed out. “Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he can’t take a joke. He was able to squeeze [Stephen] Colbert out of CBS, then he turned his sights on me, and now, he’s openly rooting for NBC to fire Jimmy Fallon and Seth Meyers, and the hundreds of Americans who work for their shows who don’t make millions of dollars. And I hope that if that happens, or if there’s even any hint of that happening, you will be 10 times as loud as you were this week.”
Kimmel discussed the freedom of speech in America and recalled meeting comedians from other countries, including Russia, who faced censorship from their leaders.
“Our freedom to speak is what they admire most about this country,” Kimmel said, before admitting, “And that’s something I’m embarrassed to say I took for granted until they pulled my friend Stephen off the air and tried to coerce the affiliates who run our show in the cities that you live in to take my show off the air. That’s not legal.”
Lin-Manuel Miranda has joked standing in for James Van Der Beek fell under his “godfather” duties.
Lin-Manuel Miranda opens up on last minute Dawson’s Creek reunion role
The theatre legend was a last minute replacement for the Dawson’s Creek actor – who is battling stage 3 colorectal cancer – at the cast reunion event on Monday (22.09.25) as the 48-year-old star was battling “two stomach viruses”.
In an Instagram post reflecting on the emotional charity event, Lin-Manuel revealed how his friend Thomas Kail – who directed Hamilton and is married to Michelle Williams – brought him on board as a last minute favour.
He wrote: “Kail called over the weekend: @vanderjames caught a virus and was unable to travel to NY for the Dawson’s Creek reunion Monday.
“Now I’m godfather to Tommy and Michelle’s kid, so filling in for Dawson last minute falls under general coverage.”
He described being part of the event as an “immense privilege”, while comparing the entire situation to “an episode of Quantum Leap”.
He added: “what happened next was for me, more like being in an episode of Quantum Leap;
“I had the immense privilege of being present as an understudy so that people’s love for James, his family, and this incredible cast and show could reverberate all round the Rodgers and the world.”
The Mary Poppins Returns actor also revealed how he was sending photos and videos to James during rehearsals and the show itself.
Michelle was reunited with castmates Katie Holmes and Joshua Jackson at the event, while James – who portrayed Dawson Leery in the show – had to pull out of the live reading of the pilot episode in aid of the F Cancer charity, but he still appeared as a surprise via a video.
He wrote on Instagram: “This is the evening I’d been looking forward to MOST since my angel Michelle Williams said she was putting it together, way back in January …
“So you can imagine how gutted I was when two stomach viruses conspired to knock me out of commission and keep me grounded at the worst possible moment.
“Despite every effort … I won’t get to be there.
“I won’t get to stand on that stage and thank every soul in the theatre for showing up for me, and against cancer, when I needed it most.”
January 2023: First Date Nerves
In August 2023, Kelsea posted footage of the beginning of their relationship, sharing a throwback clip on TikTok of herself preparing for their first official date on Jan. 7, 2023.
“Happy weekend,” she captioned the post, “heres a video i sent to my best friend before my first date with chase.”
Set to her song “How Do I Do This,” which is about going on a first date after many years, Kelsea modeled her outfit in the video.
“Here’s the look, with the boots” Kelsea said while checking herself out in a full-length mirror.
Turning around to showcase her half-up, half-down hairstyle, she added, “We’ve got the hair clip, because we’re trying to be a cool girl.”
She continued speaking to an unnamed friend, explaining, “He’s picking me up and we’re going to a sushi place and I’ll call you tomorrow and for a full update.”
Taking a deep breath and raising one arm and finger in the air, she finally said, “I can do this. I can do this.”
And, after doing a little dance, she proclaimed, “It’s just a date. You just go and you just eat food and you talk about things that you do, OK?”
Joe Biden, Kamala Harris
Former VP #KamalaHarris regrets not challenging Joe Biden’s decision to run again for reelection.
**do you think she should’ve challenged the former Presidents decision?** ABC News
After the Princess of Wales and Melania Trump’s joint event last week, I expected to see dozens of articles about their relationship. Usually, when the British tabloids get such good photos of Kate with someone famous, they can find a way to make up twenty million stories about what really happened and something something Kate is the keen linchpin of the royal family. It’s funny that the British tabloids don’t even want to get into what it means that Kate and Melania were so chummy and that they have so much in common. There’s also a seeming discomfort to address the fact that Kate is now being considered something of a MAGA princess. Instead of dealing with any of that, Ingrid C-word is now claiming that Kate and Melania’s photo-op proves that… Kate is better than Meghan! Ah, naturally! Check out this huge stretch.
Kate Middleton showed the spotlight-loving Meghan how a real princess behaves, a royal expert has claimed. Author and commentator Ingrid Seward said the Princess of Wales showed her regal character by putting First Lady Melania Trump front and centre when the pair spent some time with the Scouts.
Ms Seward told The Sun: “I thought that Catherine and Melania were a great double act. In a way that I guess, we have never seen Megan [Markle] like that with any other woman. She always seems to be, look at me, look at Megan, rather than as in Catherine’s case, it’s, don’t look at me, look at Melania, she’s… she’s my guest. I think it very much came that Megan is the one that always wants the focus on her rather than anyone else. Catherine shares the limelight, and in fact, she’s a giver. She actually gave the limelight to Melania, because Melania is the First Lady, and she was entertaining her, and she was a guest. So, Catherine sort of stood down and just concentrated on the children, while Melania was able to show us what she’s really like.”
The youngsters[at Kate and Melania’s event] also got granola bars made with honey from the Wales family’s hives at Anmer Hall, as well as some sandwiches. And the First Lady also presented a jar of honey from the White House to each of the children as a momento for the day. One of Meghan’s “signature” products in her As Ever range is a limited-edition jar of honey for £22.
Ms Seward said: “I don’t think Catherine needs to have a dig at Meghan. I think Catherine just has to be… and she actually took the trouble to get the honey from her hives in Norfolk. And gave the sandwiches to the kids, because Catherine’s all about nature and being and doing things outside. And Melania rather sweetly bought a pot of honey from the White House, which I don’t suppose she’d gathered from any of the White House bees, but the gesture was there. And no, Meghan is just completely different. I think that Meghan just doesn’t really get how to behave as a member, or an ex-member of the Royal Family. Megan’s an actress and Kate is a princess, and I think it was really well illustrated in this little get-together with the First Lady and all the children.”
“We have never seen Megan [Markle] like that with any other woman…” Except for all of the women Meghan has on her Netflix show, I guess? When Meghan gives the spotlight to food professionals and chefs and you get to see Meghan’s open, giving and generous nature? C-word wants it both ways, obviously – she wants to say that Kate was the real star, Kate outshone everyone at the state banquet, everything is all about KATE, and then in the same breath say that Kate is so unlike Meghan because Kate actually allows other women to shine. What’s also funny is that it wasn’t like Kate even made an effort to share the spotlight with Melania or anything – Kate gets overshadowed by a limp dishrag. You can see that whenever Kate does any kind of appearance with another woman (which only happens rarely). That’s one of the biggest f–king reasons why William and Kate were so adamant that the Sussexes had to be pushed out, the Keens were tired of being overshadowed!
Last thing: there’s something so hilarious to me that Kate can’t even do a big event with FLOTUS without everyone talking about MEGHAN. Sure, they’re trying to compliment Kate, but it speaks poorly of Kate that the only way to embiggen her is comparing her to a false narrative about Meghan (“Meghan doesn’t get along with other women”). It’s also projection – Meghan is actually a girl’s girl, and Kate… is not. At all.

James Van Der Beek has been an entertainment staple since Dawson’s Creek premiered in 1998, making numerous appearances in TV and movies. In 2010, he married his second wife, Kimberly Brook, and the pair have several beautiful children. The couple regularly post photos of their little ones on Instagram, and James even revealed that he let his kids watch his classic Varsity Blues (spoiler: they weren’t fans).
While James and Kimberly have a beautiful family with their six little ones, they have had a fair share of struggles. Kimberly suffered a miscarriage in November 2019 while she was expecting their sixth child. In June 2020, she had another miscarriage, but they welcomed their youngest child in November 2021. As James celebrated his 46th birthday, he shared an adorable photo of himself with all of his kids. Despite some hardships — including James’ cancer battle — the pair is incredibly happy with their children. Learn more about the beautiful couple’s six kids.
Kimberly gave birth to the couple’s oldest daughter, Olivia, on September 25, 2010. James’ wife revealed that she “gave him full naming power,” in an interview with People. The couple explained some of the significance behind naming her Olivia had to do with when the pair first met. “There’s an olive tree in Israel that’s special to us,” he said. “We spent time under it when we first met in Israel, then we went back to this tree when I was pregnant,” Kimberly said.
James seems very close to his oldest child. Back in June 2021, he revealed that he brought Olivia to The Van Gogh Experience exhibit in his family’s home of Austin, Texas. Kimberly also gushed over the little girl in an Instagram post on her tenth birthday. “Olivia, thank you for making me a Mommy on this day 10 years ago. Thank you for being the little Mama to your siblings. Thank you for your grace in understanding that I am learning to be a parent through you. I love you with every piece of my heart and soul,” she wrote.
James and Kimberly’s only son is their second child, Joshua. He was born on March 13, 2012. Kimberly blogged shortly after Joshua’s birth and her experience for People. “This new life has brought about new joys. It’s hard to top hearing your baby’s heartbeat for the first time, finally holding them in your arms and nursing them, or trying to cook while they’re hanging from your legs,” she wrote in the blog.
Like with Olivia, Kimberly wrote a similarly glowing birthday post for Joshua, where she complimented how outspoken and funny he is. “The way you step in and speak up for justice. The kindness you have for all people and life is profound. Nobody makes me laugh like you do. You’re HILARIOUS and remind us all not to take things too seriously,” she wrote.
Kimberly and James welcomed their second daughter, Annabel, on January 25, 2014. James revealed that they hadn’t discussed what to name their second daughter before she was born in an episode of The Talk, via People. “[Kimberly] said, ‘Well, only one name came to me.’ I said, ‘Yeah only one name came to me too.’ And it was the same name,” he explained. Kimberly made an Instagram post a few days after Annabel was born to share her name.
Similar to her siblings, Annabel also got a sweet Instagram post when her birthday rolled around. “Your nurturing, fun loving, authentic, kind, pure, playful self has healed those you’ve graced your presence with since the day you were born,” Kimberly wrote in an Instagram caption.
Kimberly gave birth to the pair’s third daughter on March 23, 2016: Emilia. Back in February 2021, Kimberly revealed in an Instagram Story that the couple had to rush their daughter to the emergency room after she hit her head, via People. Luckily, it wasn’t too serious, and she was as good as new!
In her most recent birthday post for Emilia, Kimberly shared that her daughter is both outspoken and a great dancer. “This Queen expresses herself FULLY, with detail, confronts effortlessly, loves deeply, expresses purely and is wildly in touch with her heart space. She’s fun, got some serious dance moves and is a continual inspiration to everyone she’s around,” she wrote.
The couple’s youngest little girl was born in June 2018. Gwendolyn apparently is a very big Miley Cyrus fan, as James revealed in a birthday post for his daughter. He said she regularly sings “Wrecking Ball,” as she walks around. The Dawson’s Creek star wrote about how his littlest likes to be the center of attention. “I live for the way you disrupt my agendas by ordering me into my heart and demanding nothing less than pure 100% presence. I love how you capture the room by being shy, then shamelessly go through your bag of tricks to make sure the attention stays on you,” he wrote.
After struggling with two miscarriages, James and Kimberly welcomed their sixth child and second son Jeremiah, 15 months, in November 2021. The actor shared an emotional announcement that they’d welcomed their baby boy on his Instagram. “[Kimberly] gave birth naturally on the ranch… and here we are,” he wrote in the post. “Each child brings their own energy, their own manifestation of consciousness, their own lessons. The ones we lost each gifted us with different pieces of the puzzle… leaving us that much more grateful for the ongoing master class we get to enjoy with this sweet, wise little one.”
Guy Pearce stepped into the role of “family dad” at the age of eight after his father’s death in a plane crash.
Guy Pearce has opened up about the family tragedy that changed his life
The 57-year-old Hollywood actor was left devastated when his test pilot dad Stuart Pearce was killed in an accident in 1976 and he’s now revealed he had to grow up quickly because he needed to care for his sister Tracy while his mum Anne was working.
He told the Wall Street Journal: “In August 1976, my father, the chief structural designer and the navigator took the plane up for a test. Ninety seconds into the flight, a large section of the tail fell off. The navigator, Pat Larcy, was the sole survivor.
“When I arrived home from school that day, Mum’s friends were there. She took me into her bedroom and told me what had happened. I don’t remember anything after that. I was eight.
“Years later, my mother said to me in her typical blunt fashion: ‘Well, you went really weird after your dad died. I thought about getting you a psychiatrist.’ That was probably her sarcastic way of showing sympathy.”
Guy went on to add: “My sister, Tracy, has an intellectual disability, so I became the family dad at a young age. Mum was very clever about easing me into the role. She didn’t say: ‘I need you to help me.’ She said: ‘It’s so wonderful that you’re being responsible.’
“We had a TV, and Tracy and I loved our time watching cartoons. I knew when to turn the TV off, do my homework, practice the clarinet and tenor saxophone and help with Tracy and get her to bed.”
Guy was born in the UK before his family moved to Australia and he now lives in the Netherlands, where his former partner Carice van Houten and their Monte are based.
He recently admitted he made a number of bad films to pay for his divorce after splitting from his wife of 18 years Kate Mestitz in 2015.
In an interview with The Times newspaper, he explained: “I did a bunch of s*** during my divorce because I needed the money.
“It was my divorce period, 2016, ’17 and ’18. I’d read scripts thinking, no, this is pretty good actually, I could do this … But a year earlier I would have said no. “You’re forced to expand your tolerance of things when you need dough, so it was a real relief once I paid off my divorce.
“But it blurred my vision. I’d read something that I felt was good and then question myself. Is it good? Or just in the camp of paying off my divorce?”
After divorcing Kate, the actor went on to find love with Game of Thrones star Carice, but they have since parted ways.
Carice explained the couple actually split “years” ago but they are committed to raising their little boy together.
