Fans were quick to point out that according to information available online, Malaika was born on October 23, 1973, which would make her 52 years old in 2025. Social media users began questioning why the actress referred to her milestone as her 50th birthday. One fan commented, “Miss Mala, I admire you and have always followed your journey. But how are you 50? You were born in 1973, right? You’re beautiful even at 52 or 54, don’t hide your age. Be proud of it!”

The actress cut her birthday cake surrounded by her loved ones, with her son Arhaan being the first person she fed a piece to, a sweet mother-son moment that melted hearts online.

The 11 Best Anti-Aging Serums For Smoother, Plumper Skin at Any Age

Time is the only asset that can’t be bought; though, if you’re concerned about how the years have been treating you, you can invest in the best anti-aging serums. Unlike moisturizers, which are formulated primarily to, well, moisturize, anti-aging serums are targeted, concentrated treatments that work to combat common signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and sagging skin.

“When it comes to anti-aging serums, it’s all about choosing ingredients that work smarter for your skin,” says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Anetta Reszko. “The key is tailoring ingredients to your skin’s tolerance and introducing actives gradually.” Here, we share the best anti-aging serums to make it seem like you’re aging in reverse, Benjamin Button style, as well as the efficacious ingredients you need for maximum benefits. Just remember: unprotected sun exposure is the top cause of premature aging, so don’t skip out on sunscreen!

In This Story

Best Retinoid: Medik8 Crystal Retinal 1 Serum

  • Why We Love It: Any dermatologist will tell you that retinoids are a staple of a solid anti-aging routine, but integrating them can be a bit nerve-wracking as they can cause sensitivity. With this formula from Medik8, you’ve no need to worry, as it’s a fantastic foray into the category, says Dr. Reszko. “It delivers the smoothing, brightening benefits of vitamin A with minimal irritation, making it ideal for beginners,” she explains. This product gets its power from 0.01% retinal, a form of the active that’s stronger than retinol yet weaker than prescription retinoids. Once your skin has acclimated to this gentle formula, you can move on to the next serum in the Crystal Retinal collection—it’s available in six progressive potencies to help you maximize this critical step in your anti-aging regimen.
  • Editor’s Experience: “I recommend this to anyone who asks me which retinoid to try. What I like most is that you can choose between five potency levels—opting for the one that suits your tolerance and skin goals. I’ve been using Retinal 3 for a while now—a level that hasn’t caused any purging or irriation. Since incorporating, my skin feels bouncy, smooth, and luminous. What more could I ask for?” —Kiana Murden, senior beauty shopping writer
  • Key Ingredients: 0.01% retinal, squalane, sodium hyaluronate
  • Best For: Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and tone
  • Size: 1 fl. oz.

Best Antioxidant-Rich: Elm Biosciences A3O Elemental Serum

  • Why We Love It: Every day, our skin encounters invisible assailants known as free radicals—unstable molecules caused by exposure to blue light from your devices, UV from the sun, and pollutants like smog and smoke. Antioxidants play defense against these pesky free radicals, making them skin-care must-haves; in this formula, you’ll get them via the proprietary A3O complex. “It acts like a daily environmental shield, keeping skin balanced and luminous even on stressful days,” says Dr. Reszko. A3O combines acetyl zingerone, a ginger-derived antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties, with plant-based retinol alternative (and fellow antioxidant) bakuchiol to provide comprehensive protection against daily damage without any sensitivity.
  • Editor’s Experience: “Whether I’m having a no-makeup morning or doing my full beauty routine, this serum always makes the cut. It gives my complexion a luminous, filter-like appearance immediately, yet disappears into my skin—it never pills, no matter how many products I choose to layer on top. The more consistently I use it, the happier I am with my skin quality and tone. Not only does this serum fade the stubborn redness I have around my nose, it just makes me look more awake and healthy.” —Emily Orofino, contributor
  • Key Ingredients: Acetyl zingerone, bakuchiol, hyaluronic acid, blue tansy, squalane
  • Best For: Uneven texture and tone, redness, dry skin, fine lines
  • Size: 1.35 fl. oz.

Best Brightening: Paula’s Choice 25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum

Paula’s Choice

25% Vitamin C + Glutathione Clinical Serum

  • Why We Love It: Vitamin C is one of the most frequently recommended antioxidants, yet can cause irritation in sensitive skin. If you’ve fallen victim to this powerhouse ingredient, we encourage you to eschew L-ascorbic acid in favor of THD, or tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate. Though the former is more powerful, it’s also less stable and more irritating than THD. This Paula’s Choice formula contains a high concentration of this gentler form of the active, along with glutathione, which works in tandem with vitamin C to combat hyperpigmentation and dark spots. “If brightness is your main goal, this serum is a true glow-getter—it helps even tone and fade dark spots while instantly revitalizing the complexion,” confirms Reszko.
  • Editor’s Experience: “Until trying this formula, I’d avoided vitamin C serums—they often smelled funky, left my skin sticky, or broke me out (or in some cases, all three). This creamy, nourishing serum smells pleasantly citrusy, leaves me feeling moisturized, and never sensitizes my skin, even when I layer it with other potent actives. Within a week of using this product daily, it delivers a very satisfying glow.” —Emily Orofino, contributor
  • Key Ingredients: Vitamin C (tetrahexyldecyl ascorbate), glutathione, ergothioneine
  • Best For: Dullness, uneven tone, discoloration, dryness
  • Size: 1 fl. oz.

Best Exfoliating: Anfisa Skin ÂN-DEW 10% Azelaic Acid + PHA Serum

Anfisa Skin

ÂN-DEW 10% Azelaic Acid + PHA Serum

  • Why We Love It: This is a rare chemical exfoliant that truly suits all skin types and tones. “It gently smooths and brightens while calming redness, which makes it a great pick for sensitive or acne-prone skin,” explains Dr. Reszko. The secret sauce here is a blend of azelaic acid and polyhydroxy acid gluconolactone, two actives that combat inflammation, quelling redness, and soothing irritation as they work to slough away dead skin from even the most reactive complexions (including those with rosacea). For added calming benefits, the formula also boasts licorice root and green tea extracts.
  • Editor’s Experience: “This serum crossed my desk while I was struggling to manage the worst bout of hormonal acne I’ve ever experienced—which turned out to be pregnancy-induced! As azelaic acid is one of the few potent pregnancy-safe actives, I have been slathering my skin with this formula morning and night. In addition to shrinking the painful cysts along my jawline and keeping future blemishes at bay, it’s also worked to soften expression lines, a much-appreciated benefit as it’ll be a while until I can book my next Daxxify treatment.” —Emily Orofino, contributor
  • Key Ingredients: 10% azelaic acid, gluconolactone, licorice root extract
  • Best For: Dullness, uneven texture and tone, dark spots, fine lines, sensitive skin
  • Size: 1.69 fl. oz.

Best Hydrating: Elemis Pro-Collagen Future Restore Serum

Elemis

Pro-Collagen Future Restore Serum

  • Why We Love It: Dr. Reszko calls this bestselling British formulation a “moisture-charged lift in a bottle,” with a deeply hydrating and silky formula that helps plump and firm skin, smoothing out even deep creases and wrinkles with a blend of peptides and seaweed extracts. These marine botanicals work to boost cell turnover, promote collagen synthesis, fight free radicals, and support the skin barrier, leaving skin looking healthier, tauter, and brighter in just a few days.
  • Key Ingredients: Microalgae, collagen amino acids, squalane
  • Best For: Fine lines, wrinkles, skin laxity, dry skin
  • Size: 1 fl. oz.

Best Growth Factor Serum: Dr. Diamond’s Metacine Instafacial Plasma Bioactive Growth Factor Serum

Dr. Diamond’s Metacine

Instafacial Plasma Bioactive Growth Factor Serum

  • Why We Love It: Don’t be put off by the eerie reddish hue of this serum—it’s likely a nod to the “Vampire Facial,” a treatment powered by platelet-rich plasma (PRP), the inspiration behind the formula. It’s packed with lab-engineered peptides that mimic human growth factors and stimulate PRP to help rejuvenate the skin. “It brings an in-office feel to your at-home routine, helping to firm, smooth, and restore radiance for that post-facial glow without the appointment,” says Dr. Reszko. That said, this face serum can be used post-procedure to max out the benefits of any in-office treatment, too.
  • Key Ingredients: Growth factor peptides, collagen peptides, sodium hyaluronate
  • Best For: Skin laxity, fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and tone, discoloration, mature skin
  • Size: 0.5 fl. oz.

Best Firming: Chanel Le Lift Sérum

  • Why We Love It: The star ingredients of this luxurious serum are peptides, antioxidant rich peppermint, and alfalfa, a plant-based retinol alternative that helps stimulate collagen and improve firmness, says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Geeta Yadav. “It gives skin that subtly lifted, more resilient look that people love about peptide-based treatments,” she adds. The unique gel-cream texture of this serum also absorbs instantly, leaving skin feeling plump and velvety without weighing it down.
  • Key Ingredients: Alfalfa extract, peptides, peppermint extract
  • Best For: Skin laxity, uneven texture, fine lines, sun damage
  • Size: 1.7 fl. oz.

Best for Wrinkles: SkinCeuticals P-TIOX Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Serum

SkinCeuticals

P-TIOX Anti-Wrinkle Peptide Serum

  • Why We Love It: Inspired by the results of neurotoxins, this SkinCeuticals serum is clinically proven to target and smooth areas that treatments like Botox and Daxxify can (like crow’s feet and glabellar lines) as well as spots that injectable wrinkle reducers can’t address (cheek folds and marionette lines). The blend of neuropeptides, antioxidants, and gentle exfoliant gluconolactone is an easy, needle-free way to leave skin looking smoother and more radiant. “It’s a great choice for anyone looking for a professional-grade formula that delivers visible results without irritation,” says Dr. Yadav.
  • Editor’s Experience: “I began using the SkinCeuticals P-Tiox Serum roughly four months after my last set of neuromodulator injections—which I’d gotten around my forehead, between my brows (in the glabellar muscles), and around my crow’s feet—and their effects had begun to wear off. When my face was at rest, my skin looked line-free in all of those areas, and my crow’s feet were noticeably less exaggerated when I smiled. What was impressive, however, was the more immediate change in my skin texture. I have oily skin with breakouts and the dark spots that often follow, and saw that my typically large pores looked less noticeable after just several days of using the serum. My skin looked smoother, too—not necessarily in terms of wrinkles, but in its overall consistency and feel—and my hyperpigmentation appeared less noticeable.” —Deanna Pai, contributor (Read Pai’s full review of the SkinCeuticals P-Tiox serum, here.)
  • Key Ingredients: Peptides, niacinamide, gluconolactone
  • Best For: Fine lines and wrinkles, uneven texture, mature skin
  • Size: 1 fl. oz.

Best for Uneven Skin Tone: Trinny London Naked Ambition Azelaic Exosome and Vitamin C Serum

Trinny London

Naked Ambition Azelaic Exosome and Vitamin C Serum

  • Why We Love It: This combination of slow-release vitamin C in a gentle form (ascorbyl glucoside) and skin-calming azelaic acid makes for a one-step solution for an uneven complexion. Dullness, redness, and dark spots—whether caused by sun damage or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation—fade with regular use while sitting smoothly under SPF and makeup. “It’s a smart, multitasking serum that targets both clarity and radiance,” Dr. Yadav confirms.
  • Key Ingredients: Vitamin C (ascorbyl glucoside), azelaic acid, red algae
  • Best For: Uneven texture and tone, dullness, discoloration, redness, sun damage, mature skin
  • Size: 1.01 fl. oz.

Best Multipurpose: Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Wrinkle Treatment

Advanced Retinol + Ferulic Overnight Wrinkle Treatment

  • Why We Love It: Anti-aging all-star retinol is combined here with two plant-based retinol alternatives—bakuchiol and rambutan leaf—as well as antioxidants ferulic acid and niacinamide for a formula “that supports collagen renewal while defending against free radical damage,” explains Dr. Yadav. “It’s a results-driven option for smoother, more radiant skin that still feels comfortable to use.” This retinol serum not only helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines, but improve skin’s elasticity and other visible signs of aging.
  • Key Ingredients: Retinol, bakuchiol, rambutan leaf extract, ferulic acid, niacinamide
  • Best For: Fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture and tone, skin laxity, dullness
  • Size: 1 fl. oz.

Everything You Need to Know

What do dermatologists recommend for aging skin?

When it comes to caring for aging skin, dermatologists recommend a comprehensive and consistent approach—one that combines skincare with healthy habits. Both our experts agree that the most important step in an anti-aging skin-care routine is SPF. “UV exposure is the biggest external cause of premature aging,” explains Dr. Yadav. “Using a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher every day helps prevent fine lines, pigmentation, and loss of firmness.” You’ll also want to protect your skin with free radical-fighting antioxidants, promote cellular turnover through gentle exfoliation, and support your skin barrier.

Beyond topical treatments, you’ll want to closely consider your daily routine. “A balanced diet, adequate sleep, stress management, and not smoking all play key roles in preserving skin vitality,” says Dr. Reszko.

Ingredients to Look For in Anti-Aging Serums

The sheer volume of serums in the anti-aging category can make shopping feel overwhelming, but you can narrow down your search to formulas that include these types of active ingredients—they’ll provide the most benefit to aging skin.

Antioxidants: “You’ll also want a strong dose of antioxidants to protect against environmental stress and keep your complexion glowing,” explains Dr. Reszko. These ingredients help combat the damaging effects of free radicals while supporting skin barrier function. Some antioxidants to look for include vitamin C, vitamin E, glutathione, and niacinamide.

Retinoids: Often referred to as “the gold standard” in anti-aging by dermatologists, retinoids like prescription-strength tretinoin and OTC retinal (aka retinaldehyde) and retinol are derivatives of vitamin A that work by stimulating collagen production, which helps improve texture and reduce wrinkles, according to Dr. Yadav.

Exfoliating Acids: Ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids and polyhydroxy acids help slough away dead cells on the skin’s surface that make skin look dull and uneven, promoting a fresher, more radiant complexion. “For anyone dealing with redness or uneven tone, azelaic acid is a multitasking hero that calms irritation while brightening,” adds Dr. Reszko. The other acid, beta-hydroxy acid—otherwise known as salicylic acid—is excellent as well, though its better suited to prevent and diminish blemishes.

Growth Factors: Your body naturally produces growth factors, a type of protein, to stimulate collagen production and promote wound healing for healthier-looking skin. Growth factor serums may contain human-derived or synthetic growth factors, or lab-made peptides that have been engineered to function like growth factors to help firm and smooth skin.

Peptides: Peptides are short chains of amino acids (the building blocks of protein, as you may recall from middle-school science classes) that can have multiple functions. There are peptides that can help hydrate skin, promote collagen synthesis to firm and lift, or brighten uneven tone. Some peptide serums even act similarly to injectable neurotoxins, though they’re not as powerful as an in-office treatment.

When should you start using an anti-aging serum?

The old adage “an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” applies here: Staving off signs of aging in your mid- to late 20s or early 30s, when your collagen production naturally starts to slow down, will go a long way towards preserving a youthful quality to your skin. “Think of it as a preventative step that helps maintain the skin’s structure and delay the onset of fine lines, rather than trying to correct them later,” explains Dr. Yadav. If you’re not yet seeing concerns like dullness, fine lines, or discoloration, Dr. Reszko recommends prioritizing antioxidants and hydration. However, those noticing texture changes—or spent a lot of time in the sun without SPF in your younger years—may want to start incorporating retinoids, peptides, and exfoliating acids sooner rather than later.

When we test and review a product, we take a holistic approach to deliver well-rounded product recommendations. First, we lean on Vogue’s vast network of experts—from board-certified dermatologists to celebrity estheticians—to gain professional acumen on the industry’s standout products, ones these specialists would actually use on their clients. We pair their expertise with our editorial best practices to curate the thoughtful edits you read on our site.

As it relates to anti-aging serums, we selected the best based on the following characteristics: ingredients, texture, packaging, finish, and the skin-care concerns they address. To do this, we paired our own personal tests of each formula with expert guidance and reviewer insights to determine which we would recommend to you.

Study reveals men's brains shrink faster than women with age, shares what it means for Alzheimer's risk

Study reveals men’s brains shrink faster than women with age, shares what it means for Alzheimer’s risk

Women are more likely to get Alzheimer’s, but brain volume stays stable. Find out more about this contradiction and what it means. 

With age, the risks of neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease rise. As one grows older, the brain’s volume also shrinks in size, losing both grey and white matter over time. A study published in PNAS on October 13, 2025, revealed that the brain’s shrinking pace differs by sex, actually. Men’s brains shrink faster than women’s. So if there’s a correlation between brain shrinkage and neurodegenerative disease, what does it say about women’s increased vulnerability to Alzheimer’s disease?

What did the study find?

The study attempted to understand whether the brain tissue, grey and white matter, shrinks faster in men or women with age. So, according to the researchers, men’s brains with age become smaller in volume, particularly the cortex, shrinking more. However, women’s brains lose volume in certain selective areas, and more or less the cortex’s thickness remains stable. Cortex is associated with important cognitive skills like thinking, memory, and decision-making.

Although there’s no significant difference between men and women in regards to the shrinkage of the hippocampus, the brain area associated with memory, at least until old age. Women showed a decline in this area only later in life. But it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s because of a higher risk of neurodegenerative disorders. Instead, it demonstrates that women may live longer, hence the decline appears later because women reach older age more often than men.

What does it mean?

The interesting contradiction is sure to leave people scratching their heads. So, people with Alzheimer’s showcase a shrunken brain. And women are more vulnerable to Alzheimer’s. But here’s the catch: based on the findings, it implies that brain shrinkage doesn’t always indicate disease; it may be a part of the natural ageing process. Still, there needs to be more research to draw a complete picture of why women are likely to have a higher Alzheimer’s risk.

Ice Cube Responds to Criticism of His New Song ‘Act My Age’

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Ice Cube took some time to fire back at a critic of his new song, “Act My Age,” and said the troll should get a sense of humor.

Cube dropped off the music video for his “Act My Age” song with Scarface on Oct. 15, and one viral post on X noted that the track is “a prime example of why, as a rapper, you just gotta know when it’s time to hang the mic up.”

“I would never listen to you and hang up my mic,” Cube wrote in response on Monday (Oct. 20). “You’ve obviously lost your sense of humor. You need to go find it and stay out of my business.”

The song actually deals with this very topic, with Cube saying at the beginning of the track: “If you’re over 35 and still rapping, keep rapping, my boy. F—k all of that, ‘Oh, I’m getting old’ s—t. No, we need y’all, we need y’all to save music. We need the real lyricists back.”

The song originally appeared on Cube’s latest album, Man Up, which dropped on Sept. 12.

“I’ve always stood on speaking truth to power and making music that reflects reality,” Cube said in a statement. “Man Up is about accountability, resilience and reminding people where the real problems come from. Hip-hop didn’t create the struggle — it gave us the language to call it out.”

Billboard had previously talked with Cube in 2024, when he teased Man Up and said he was inspired by America’s alleged softness. “It’s about men not accepting nonsense and speaking up, and not just taking a backseat, letting other people take the lead,” he said at the time. “We gotta take the lead.”

Prayers Up! R&B Legend D'Angelo Passes Away At Age 51 Angie Stone

D’Angelo Reportedly Passes Away From Cancer At Age 51

by jummy84
written by jummy84

Not the neo-soul legend! Roommates, the entertainment industry lost an icon today. Grammy-winning singer D’Angelo reportedly died. He was 51. His death comes months after Angie Stone, the mother of ` son, passed away from a severe car crash.

Details About D’Angelo’s Death

TMZ was the first to report D’Angelo’s death, citing “sources connected to his family” and his former manager, Kedar Massenburg. As mentioned, the outlet noted that the singer died on October 14 in New York City. He was reportedly battling pancreatic cancer privately. At this time, it’s unclear how long he had been diagnosed or what stage he was in.

Additionally, there are no known details about where he passed and whether he was in a hospital, at home, or with loved ones. Memorial details are not out yet. He has three surviving children, two sons and a daughter, from previous relationships.

Celebs & TSR Roomies React To Singer’s Passing

Twenty minutes after The Shade Room posted D’Angelo’s passing on Instagram, over 10,700 reactions poured into the comment section. Even celebrities shared their shock and condolences, from Nelly writing “Damn” to Joseline Hernandez sharing crying emojis and Porsha Williams opting for broken heart and praying emojis.

Big Freedia commented, “Prayers to his family and friends this another great gone to soon 🙏🏾🙏🏾😢😢”

Fat Joe said, “He was prince what a legend.” 

IG roomie @supaman_ofsteel89 wrote, “Killed my whole mood smh RIP LEGEND 🙏 😢”

@diorb added, “How does it feel 🥺 I always say that in the mirror after the gym 😩 losing all our good ones.”

@ladiimeesh153 commented, “As a fan, this one hurts. I’m so glad he was able to do a VERSUZ. Praying for his son with The Legendary Angie Stone. Lord please wrap your arms around their child. Losing both parents within months of each other is devastating. Praying for their loved ones also. 😔😔😔🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.”

An Icon & Legend Gone Too Soon! 

As the roomies clearly know, the singer wasn’t anyone to play with when it came to music. Born in Richmond, Virginia, he grew up playing music in the church, starting at age five with the piano, per PEOPLE.

Between cousins and later his brother, he had formed two bands by the time he was 16. That same year, he sang at the famous Apollo during amateur night. He lost but circled back the next year, ate down with the song ‘Rub You The Right Way’ and won first place. The money he won in that competition helped pay for the four-track recorder that later led to his 1995 debut album ‘Brown Sugar.’ Still considered a hit, the project got him four Grammy nods, peaked at #4 on the R&B albums chart, and went platinum in a year. And for most of us, ‘Brown Sugar’ also went triple-platinum in our mothers’, grandmothers’ and aunties’ living rooms!

A few years later, he dropped his sophomore album, ‘Voodoo.’ Not only did it dominate the charts, peaking at #1, but it also earned him three more Grammy nods. That time, he won two, including ‘Best R&B’ album.’ His 2014 album, ‘Black Messiah,’ earned him two more Grammys, marking a career total of four.

bitchy | Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79

by jummy84
written by jummy84

This comes as a huge shock to me: Diane Keaton has passed away at the age of 79. It feels so shocking because Diane was one of the most vivacious and upbeat celebrities out there – an optimistic oddball, in the best way. She won the Best Actress Oscar for Annie Hall in 1977. I know Woody Allen is thoroughly canceled and everything, but she was great in Annie Hall. She also received Oscar nominations for Reds, Marvin’s Room and Something’s Got to Give (one of my favorite performances from her). She also played Kay in the Godfather trilogy (iconic). Baby Boom is probably my favorite Diane Keaton film – she’s just perfect in it, sassy, neurotic and funny, but she also brought so much sweetness to the movie. Diane was survived by her two children.

Diane Keaton has died. She was 79. PEOPLE can confirm the legendary actress died in California. “There are no further details available at this time, and her family has asked for privacy in this moment of great sadness,” a spokesperson tells PEOPLE.

Keaton rose to fame in the 1970s thanks to her role in The Godfather films and her collaborations with director Woody Allen. She won an Oscar for Best Actress for 1977’s Annie Hall. Her long career included movies like The First Wives Club, multiple collaborations with director Nancy Meyers and the Book Club franchise.

The actress was born in Los Angeles in 1946 as Diane Hall, and was the oldest of four children. Her father was a civil engineer, while her mom stayed at home. Still, Keaton thought her mother dreamed of something bigger. “Secretly in her heart of hearts she probably wanted to be an entertainer of some kind,” the actress told PEOPLE in 2004. “She sang. She played the piano. She was beautiful. She was my advocate.”

Keaton never married. “Today I was thinking, I’m the only one in my generation of actresses who has been a single woman all her life,” she explained to PEOPLE in 2019. “I’m really glad I didn’t get married. I’m an oddball. I remember in high school, this guy came up to me and said, ‘One day you’re going to make a good wife.’ And I thought, ‘I don’t want to be a wife. No.’”

She was romantically linked to Woody Allen, Al Pacino and Warren Beatty throughout her life. “Talent is so damn attractive,” she noted to PEOPLE.

Keaton had two children, daughter Dexter and son Duke, whom she adopted in 1996 and 2001, respectively. “Motherhood was not an urge I couldn’t resist, it was more like a thought I’d been thinking for a very long time. So I plunged in,” she told Ladies’ Home Journal in 2008. Keaton is survived by her children.

[From People]

I’m glad her kids are adults, and we’re thinking about them during this difficult time. She was right – she was the only major actress out of her generation to never marry. She never made a big deal about it, and it was pretty genuine – she really didn’t want to be anyone’s wife. Bless her.

Moody Blues Legend John Lodge Dead at Age 82

by jummy84

Legendary Moody Blues singer-bassist John Lodge has died “suddenly and unexpectedly” at the age of 82. The announcement was made Friday morning by the musician’s family.

A statement posted on Lodge’s official Facebook page, and shared on Moody Blues’ Facebook page, reads as follows:

“It is with the deepest sadness that we have to announce that John Lodge, our darling husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and brother has been suddenly and unexpectedly taken from us. As anyone who knew this massive hearted man knows, it was his enduring love of his wife, Kirsten, and his family, that was the most important thing to him, followed by his passion for music, and his faith.

He was never happier than being on stage – he was ‘Just a ‘Singer in a Rock and Roll Band’ and he adored performing with his band and son-in-law, Jon [Davison] (vocalist with YES), and being able to continue sharing this music with his fans. It gave him even more joy to be able to work with his daughter Emily and son Kristian and spend time watching his grandson John-Henry play football and dream of him playing for Birmingham City one day!

John peacefully slipped away surrounded by his loved-ones and the sounds of The Everly Brothers and Buddy Holly. We will forever miss his love, smile, kindness, and his absolute and never-ending support. We are heartbroken, but will walk forwards into peace surrounded by the love he had for each of us. As John would always say at the end of the show, thank you for keeping the faith.

Please understand that we are not making any further comments, however we would like to leave you with John’s song ’Whispering Angels’ whilst we take a moment to reflect on this incredible man who touched so many lives.”

Lodge was born in Birmingham, England, on July 20th, 1983. He was a classic member of The Moody Blues, having joined the UK band in 1966, and remained with them until they became inactive in 2018. He appeared on all of their albums aside from their 1965 debut, The Magnificent Moodies.

He was the co-lead vocalist of the Moody Blues with Justin Hayward, and sang lead on such hits as “Ride My See-Saw,” “I’m Just a Singer (In a Rock and Roll Band),” and “Candle of Life.” Along with his Moody Blues bandmates, he was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018.

Lodge also released a handful of solo albums, and was actively touring up until August of this year, with his final gig being August 7th in Des Plaines, Illinois, where he performed a set of 17 Moody Blues songs.

Our condolences go out to John Lodge’s family, friends, and bandmates during this difficult time. Revisit a couple of his classic songs with the Moody Blues below.

Dolly Parton has long been an icon—not just for her contributions to country music and her unforgettable stage presence, but also for her resilience and spirit. Even in 2025, she continues to engage new generations, collaborating with Sabrina Carpenter on “Please Please Please” in February.

Tragically, Dolly’s personal life took a painful turn when her husband of nearly six decades, Carl Thomas Dean, passed away on March 3, 2025. In an Instagram post, she shared, “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years. Thank you for your prayers and sympathy.” The statement continued, “The family has asked for privacy during this difficult time.”

Now, on top of grieving, Dolly is confronting her own health challenges. In 2025, she postponed her Las Vegas residency and missed several appearances due to issues with kidney stones and infection, citing the need for medical procedures and recovery time.

Learn more about her net worth, age, and Carl’s age below.

Dolly Parton’s Net Worth

Dolly has a net worth of $650 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. 

How Old Is Dolly Parton?

Dolly is 79 years old. She will celebrate her 80th birthday on January 19, 2025, as she was born in 1946. 

How Old Was Carl Thomas Dean?

Carl was 82 at the time of his passing. He and Dolly had been married since 1966, keeping their relationship mostly private over the years.

Does Dolly Parton Have Children?

Dolly never had children. In a 2020 interview with Oprah Winfrey for The Oprah Conversation on Apple TV, she explained her decision. “I didn’t have children because I believed that God didn’t mean for me to have kids so everybody’s kids could be mine, so I could do things like Imagination Library because if I hadn’t had the freedom to work, I wouldn’t have done all the things I’ve done,” Dolly said. “I wouldn’t be in a position to do all of the things I’m doing now.”

She added, “Since I had no kids, and my husband was pretty independent, I had freedom.” The singer continued, “So I think a big part of my whole success is the fact that I was free to work.”

Details On Ike Turner Jr.’s Passing

Ike Turner Jr., a key figure in the legendary Turner family dynasty, has passed away at the age of 67. The news was confirmed by his cousin Jacqueline Bullock, who shared that Ike Jr. died in a Los Angeles hospital on October 4. According to her statement, he passed after battling kidney failure, heart complications, and a recent stroke.

Fans may remember Ike Jr. as part of the extended Turner musical legacy—Tina adopted him and his brother Michael during her marriage to Ike Sr., blending them into one iconic family. Ike Jr. was born during Ike’s previous marriage to Lorraine Taylor, prior to Tina’s adoption of him. His passing marks another heartbreaking loss for the Turner fam, following the deaths of both Ronnie Turner and Raymond Craig in recent years.

Jr.’s Family Speaks Out After Heartbreaking Loss

Tina’s niece, Jacqueline Bullock, opened up about Ike Turner Jr.’s recent health struggles before his passing. She described their close bond, saying he was more like a brother to her than just family. Additionally, Jacqueline touched on his deep love for music. He exuded a natural talent and passion for playing instruments, which was a big part of his creative spirit.

“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of my cousin, Ike Turner, Jr.,” the statement says. “‘Junior’ was more than a cousin to me, but rather a brother, as we grew up in the same famed household together.” Bullock continued, “As the son of Tina and Ike Turner, from an early age, his talents were evident as there wasn’t an instrument he did not want to play. While he favored the drums early on, my aunt and his mother, Tina Turner, insisted that he break down his drum kit after each practice. This led him to favor the keys. Eventually, Junior would end up helping to run Bolic Sound Studios, the recording studios founded by his father, Ike Turner.”

Afida Turner, who was married to Turner Jr.’s late brother Ronnie, also took to social media to show love and share a heartfelt tribute. “REST IN PEACE IKE JR : U WAS AN AMAZING BROTHER IN LAW IM GLAD I SPEAK WITH U ON A PHONE BEFORE U GONE LOVE U RIP 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻,” she wrote in a sentimental post, sharing photos of her and Ike Jr. throughout the years.

Who Was Ike Turner Jr.?

Born into one of music’s most iconic families, Ike Jr. was the son of Ike Turner Sr. and Lorraine Taylor, and was later embraced by Tina Turner, the “Queen of Rock ’n’ Roll.” Though often behind the scenes, Ike Jr. made his own mark in the industry, earning recognition as a talented producer. The Turner family has also faced many heart-wrenching losses over the years. Furthermore, Ike Jr. was preceded in death by brothers Ronnie and Raymond. Tina herself passed away peacefully in May 2023 at 83 after a long illness, leaving behind a powerful legacy that touched millions worldwide. Ike Sr. passed away in December 2007.
