Selena Quintanilla will always be known as the Queen of Tejano music, but her romance with Chris Pérez still tugs at fans’ heartstrings. Their star-crossed love story was even included in the biopic Selena, starring Jennifer Lopez. Despite the obstacles they faced, Chris and Selena stayed together and continued working with her band, Selena y Los Dinos. Thanks to his hard work as a musician, Chris found success in the business and gradually increased his net worth, as did Selena and her family. The couple eventually married, but the “Como la Flor” hitmaker was killed in March 1995.

Below, learn more about Chris, his career and his relationship with Selena.

Who Is Chris Perez?

Chris is a musician best known as the lead guitarist for Selena y Los Dinos in the early 1990s. Raised in San Antonio, he originally pursued rock-and-roll but shifted into Tejano music as a way to break into the industry. After joining Selena’s band, Chris quickly became a key member, contributing to arrangements and occasionally helping the Quintanilla family with songwriting.

His relationship with Selena brought tension within the band, leading her father, Abraham Quintanilla, to fire him temporarily. However, after Chris and Selena eloped in 1992, he was welcomed back and continued performing with her until her death in 1995.

In the years following Selena’s passing, Chris slowly returned to music — forming the Grammy-winning Chris Pérez Band, later launching the Chris Pérez Project, and publishing his best-selling memoir To Selena, With Love.

Recently, he has become more vocal as new tributes and projects emerge. Reflecting on the upcoming Netflix documentary Selena y Los Dinos: A Family’s Legacy, Chris shared, “I think about Selena every day,” and grew emotional while reading one of her letters: “Remember I’ll always and forever love you… I miss you more as every second goes by.”

Chris Perez’s Net Worth

Chris has a net worth of around $1 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

How Long Were Chris Lopez & Selena Quintanilla Married?

Chris and Selena got married in 1992. Though they planned to keep their elopement a secret until she could find the right moment to tell Abraham, their marriage quickly made headlines, and Abraham chose to accept Chris into the family.

Three years after eloping in Texas, Selena was shot by Yolanda Saldívar and died. Chris later remarried in 2001 to his second wife, Venessa Villanueva, and they share two children together. However, they divorced in 2008.

Who Is Dillon Danis? About the Ex-Mixed Martial Artist Amid UFC Fight – Hollywood Life

Dillon Danis made headlines again in November 2025, but not for a planned fight. The 32-year-old ex-MMA fighter, pro boxer and submission grappler got into a cageside brawl at Madison Square Garden in New York City, and as a result, he was banned by the UFC.

This wasn’t the first public problem that Danis has been involved in. The New Jersey native has an arrest record in addition to a previous restraining order against him.

Here, Hollywood Life breaks down everything we know about Danis, his fighting career and personal life.

Dillon Danis Worked With Conor McGregor

Danis was asked to be a coach and training partner for Conor McGregor in 2016 ahead of the latter’s rematch against Nate Diaz. It was then that Danis became a well-known name in the MMA community, as he continued to work with McGregor for future fights.

In November 2023, Danis announced his retirement from professional fighting.

Dillon Danis Was Banned by UFC Over a 2025 Cageside Fight

In November 2025, Danis got into a heated brawl at New York City’s MSG during UFC 322 against the teammates of Islam Makhachev. Quite a few members of security were needed to break up the fight, and UFC President Dana White explained what happened after the fact.

“I blame myself for that [brawl], actually,” White told reporters, according to multiple outlets. “They came back and told me right before I walked out for the main card that Dillon Danis was here and he was moving around, sitting in fighters’ seats and not sitting in his own seat that he had. He had a ticket. And they said, ‘Do you want us to throw him out of here?’ and I said, ‘He has a ticket?’ and they said, ‘Yeah.’”

Danis’ brawl with the others stemmed from past beef he had from a 2018 match between Makhachev’s training partner, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and McGregor.

“They told me that [ex-UFC fighter] [Jorge] Masvidal said he’s going to f**k him up on sight,” White added while speaking to reporters. “And I said, ‘Where is Masvidal sitting?’ and they said, ‘Well, he’s six or seven rows away from Masvidal.’ So, I said ‘If the guy has a ticket, let him sit in his seat. Let him do what he’s doing, but keep an eye on him.’ It never even crossed my mind, as stupid as that could be, that the entire muslin brotherhood was here tonight in the first five rows for Islam. As soon as it broke out, I was over to the side and I said, ‘F**k I know exactly what that is.’”

White then revealed that the UFC had the option to press charges against Danis, but White chose not to.

“So, they call me from downstairs and they said, ‘We got him down here, do you want to press charges and have him arrested?’ And I said, ‘No, we don’t want to press charges. This is the fight business man,’” White said. “You know how I feel about this s**t. I could have prevented this tonight.”

Dillon Danis Is a Father: How Many Children He Has

Danis announced the birth of his son in August 2023, though the ex-fighter never revealed the identity of the child’s mother.

Dan Aykroyd is one of Hollywood’s most lovable actors, but he’s also a doting dad! The Ghostbusters star shares three adult daughters, Danielle a.k.a Vera Sola, Belle and Stella, with Donna Dixon, whom he announced his separation from in 2022. The two are legally separated. Although the former lovebirds chose to split after almost 40 years of marriage, their strong bond with their children will remain, and from the memorable moments they’ve shared together over the years, it’s clear to see they’ve been a tight-knit family.

Find out more about Dan and Donna’s daughters below.

Danielle

Danielle Aykroyd, who is professionally known as Vera Sola, is Dan and Donna’s oldest daughter. She was born in Nov. 1989 and has had a career as a poet and singer-songwriter.

She self-released her debut album, Shades, in 2018 and performed, produced, and arranged everything on it. Danielle has previously admitted that she came up with her stage name, Vera, because she wanted to establish a career on her own and not use her famous last name to catapult into music. She often takes to social media to promote her music and share various selfies whenever she can.

Belle

Belle is Dan and Donna’s second-born child. She was welcomed into the world in June 1993 and has followed in her dad’s footsteps by working as an actress. She’s appeared in various features, including the TV series, Workin’ Moms, the short IRL, and the film, Highway One. Although she tends to keep a low profile when she’s not acting, the supportive daughter sometimes boasts about her dad and his achievements on social media.

She shared a series of photos of her, Dan, and her younger sister Stella hanging out on the set of the 2021 film Ghostbusters: Afterlife in Dec. and admitted she was “proud” of the movie in the caption. “Proud of this film and this legacy @ghostbustersafterlife thank you @jasonreitman,” she wrote.

Stella

Stella is Dan and Donna’s youngest daughter. She was born in April 1998 and has also worked as an actress. She appeared alongside her dad in the 2021 film Ghostbusters: Afterlife, in which she played the role of Deputy Medjuck, and it was her first full-length feature.

Stella’s Instagram page is full of various interesting photos of places and people and things she loves, including her adorable animals. She appears to have a close relationship with her sisters and often shares pics and videos of memorable moments they’ve shared like going on walks and singing while riding around in cars.

Does ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Star Have Cancer? – Hollywood Life

by jummy84 November 16, 2025

written by jummy84

Grey’s Anatomy star James Pickens Jr., who has been on the show for 20 years, is now the epitome of the famous phrase, “life imitates art,” but for an unfortunate reason. Like his character on the show, the 73-year-old actor revealed that he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.

“We caught it really early, and so they thought that would be the best route to take,” Pickens Jr. explained during an interview with BlackHealthMatters.com in November 2025. “I do have a rare variant that you don’t see very often. They wanted to err on the side of caution and keep an eye on it. It was rare enough that they wanted to make sure that they were crossing all the T’s and dotting all their I’s. But they hadn’t seen one that was detected as early as mine.”

Below, learn more about Pickens Jr.’s health in reality versus that of his on-screen character.

Who Is James Pickens Jr.’s Grey’s Anatomy Character?

Pickens Jr. plays the role of Dr. Richard Webber, whose cancer diagnosis was unveiled during the season 22 midseason finale. His specific type of cancer was not immediately revealed.

Does James Pickens Jr. Really Have Cancer?

Yes, Pickens Jr. revealed his prostate cancer was diagnosed early during a November 2025 interview with BlackHealthMatters.com.

“It’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear, but to be honest, prostate cancer has run through my family,” the actor explained. “My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t gotten it. I’ve got a 90-year-old first cousin, who’s still alive, actually; he had it. His son has it. A couple of his brothers had it. No one, as far as I know, has succumbed to it.”

The Cleveland, Ohio, native received his diagnosis in 2024. During his interview, he recalled going back to the doctor and, “when my PSA numbers came back, my primary said, ‘Yeah, you know what? It’s ticked up some more. I want to send you back to the urologist.”

“The urologist looked at him and said,” Yeah, there’s something here. Let’s do an MRI,’ which we did, and it revealed, as he called it, something suspicious,” Pickens Jr. said.

What Is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is when cells within the male reproductive gland, the prostate, grow out of control. Pickens Jr. emphasized that early detection of a tumor is essential in battling the disease.

“I started getting my annual physical 34 years ago. And I started my PSA testing when I was 41; I’m 73 now,” he said. “My urologist said. ‘Because you were so diligent in that piece of your health, it was to your advantage. We were able to catch it so early because you were being tested.”

Is James Pickens Jr. Leaving Grey’s Anatomy?

Grey’s Anatomy fans are now concerned that Pickens Jr. will leave the show. Since the actor has been managing the illness since 2024 and caught the cancer early, it doesn’t appear that he will leave the series anytime soon. Only time will tell, though.

5 Things to Know About Britney Spears’ Friend & Manager – Hollywood Life

by jummy84 November 16, 2025

written by jummy84

Britney Spears‘ manager, Cade Hudson, first made headlines when he was spotted spending time with her in March 2023. Despite working alongside one of the most famous names in Hollywood, Cade keeps his life away from the public eye and has a private Instagram account. However, he appeared in a series of selfies that Kim Kardashian shared from a hangout with Britney and Cade at her Calabasas home in November 2025.

Read on to learn about Britney’s manager, friend, and dancing partner, Cade Hudson.

1. Cade Hudson Is An Agent

Paris Hilton’s wedding to Carter Reum was full of big-name celebrities. The guestlist included Kyle Richards, Paula Abdul, Bebe Rexha, Ashley Benson, and the rest of the Hilton clan. So, how did Cade score an invite to this event? He doesn’t have a song in the charts, a hit reality television show, or a movie coming out. What gives? Well, it turns out that Cade is one of the movers and shakers in Hollywood. He’s an agent at the legendary talent and sports agency, Creative Artists Agency, which represents Sean Penn, Ciara, Ansel Elgort, Emma Roberts, and more. This would also explain why he attended the wedding as Emma’s date.

2. Cade Reportedly Spoke Out Against Britney’s Conservatorship

Amid the #FreeBritney movement, Cade was criticized for being quiet and not standing up for Britney. However, he eventually spoke out on the matter in July 2021. “I’ve kept my mouth shut for 12 + years on Britney. Enough is enough,” Cade wrote in a now-private social media post, per TMZ. “After getting thousands of death threats, getting water bottles thrown at my head in bars from bystanders telling me I’m brainwashing her – Britney, I’m now speaking up.”

Cade referenced Britney’s breakdown in 2007, saying, “Britney who was accused of some errors as a new mom at 26 with 100 cameras in her face daily waiting to document any wrong move she did gets placed under a never-ending conservatorship?”

“This is a violation of someone’s basic human rights that were taken away. I’ve kept my mouth shut out of the fear of losing my job as her agent and losing the career I worked my ass off for 15 years to build, out of threats from the man we all know who, but I won’t even dignify mentioning his name,” he continued. “I’m officially done being quiet.”

3. Cade Reportedly Helped Britney In Her Conservatorship Fight

Cade was by Britney’s side during her conservatorship woes, according to TMZ. Before working as her agent, he was one of her “closest friends for a dozen of years.” Cade reportedly hooked up Britney with attorney Mathew Rosengart, who helped her in her fight against the controversial conservatorship.

4. Cade Was Accused of Sexual Misconduct

In 2017, Cade was named in a sexual harassment complaint by actor Sean Rose that involved several agents employed by Creative Artists Agency. In documents obtained by The New York Times (via the Los Angeles Times), Sean claimed that in 2013, Cade offered him sex in exchange for meeting actress Amanda Seyfried. “After being my friend on social media for seven years, and liking my posts, Sean is now accusing me of soliciting a sex act from him,” Cade said in a statement to the Los Angeles Times via his attorney, denying the claims. “My recollection is that he laughed it off and remained my friend on social media.”

“I have the utmost sympathy for victims of harassment and abuse, but this is no such case,” he added. He also noted that he is gay and was single at the time of the alleged incident.

In 2013, Cade was a publicist at Full Picture. He started working for CAA “about a year later”, per the Los Angeles Times.

5. Cade Is Close With the Mayor Of New York City

Cade doesn’t just hang out with Hollywood’s elite; He has been spotted spending time with New York City Mayor Eric Adams several times, per New York Daily News. According to the outlet, they enjoy “weekly visits to Zero Bond, the exclusive members-only nightclub” in the NoHo neighborhood.

Dan Aykroyd and Donna Dixon sent a shockwave through Hollywood in April 2022 by announcing that they were going their separate ways after 39 years together. The pair, who got hitched way back in 1983, made a joint statement, saying that they will remain legally married. “After 39 years as a couple we are now on separate life paths. We remain legally married, co-parents, co-workers and business partners,” the former couple told People. “This is our choice in loving friendship.”

Find out everything there is to know about the woman who stole Dan’s heart for almost four decades, below.

Donna began her career as a model.

Born in Alexandria, Virginia, Donna got her start as a model, working for Wilhelmina Modeling Agency before competing in various beauty pageants. She was named Miss Virginia USA in 1976 and Miss District of Columbia World in 1977. She also competed in both Miss USA 1976 and Miss World USA 1977. After her pageant days were over, Donna decided to try her hand at acting and quickly found success in television, landing the role of Sonny Lumet on the 1980s sitcom Bossom Buddies, alongside Tom Hanks.

She met the ‘SNL’ funnyman on a movie set.

Donna and Dan first bumped into each other while they were working on the 1983 movie Doctor Detroit. They would go on to marry that same year. The adorable couple went on to appear together in a smorgasbord of other feature films, including Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983), Spies Like Us (1985), The Couch Trip (1988) and Exit to Eden (1994). Donna’s last movie appearance was in 2014 when she portrayed Ms. Blair in Da Sweet Blood of Jesus.

Donna & Dan are the proud parents of 3 daughters.

The pair share daughters Belle, Stella and singer Danielle, who is known professionally as singer-songwriter Vera Sola.

Dan referred to her as the ‘White Goddess.’

In an interview with Tampa Bay Times back in 2014, Dan gushed about his wife. “You gotta find the right person — look them in the eye, have them look back, and know their soul. She’s a Southern woman who is understanding and doesn’t mind dealing with the boys from time to time. I call her the White Goddess. And I’m the Green Demon.”

Donna was once engaged to a member of the band KISS.

Before Donna and Dan became star-crossed lovers, the beauty said “I do” to KISS bandmember Paul Stanley after they dated for a few years. They broke it off shortly before Donna began work on Doctor Detroit. Dan was also previously engaged. He and the late Star Wars icon Carrie Fisher were ready to walk down the aisle together after meeting on the set of Blue Brothers. However, they called it off after Carrie reconciled with singer/songwriter Paul Simon.

James Pickens Jr. is widely known for his character Dr. Richard Webber on the hit ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy. On the show, James is the husband of Catherine Avery (played by Debbie Allen), but when he is not at work, he is a devoted husband to his real-life wife, Gina Taylor-Pickens. Now that James has revealed his prostate cancer battle, he has the love and support from Gina through it all.

Below is everything we know about Gina, their marriage, and their two kids.

Who Is Gina Taylor-Pickens?

Just like her husband, Gina (whose age is unknown) is also an actor! The beauty has worked on several projects including Deliver Us from Eva starring Gabrielle Union, And There Were 4, and The Lion King 3: Hakuna Matata. And she is not only credited as an actress, but also as a singer. For the hit Disney film, Gina is credited for working on the soundtrack song “Digga Tunnah” in 2004. In addition, the talented lady lent her vocals for the Disney project Sing Along Songs: Brother Bear – On My Way in 2003.

However, it doesn’t appear that Gina continued her work in entertainment after 2004. Although she is no longer seen on the screen, she is often pictured all over James’ Instagram. The Private Practice star is super-loved up with his wife of all these years, as he is always praising her online. On Feb. 14, 2022, he shared an adorable throwback photo with Gina. He captioned the post, “A Very Happy Monday & Valentine’s Day to all.” So cute!

In Aug. 2019, James sat down with Kelly Ripa and Ryan Seacrest during an episode of Live with Kelly and Ryan to reveal his secret to a long marriage. “We have a mantra that we’ve lived by for 35 years. Love unconditionally, forgive quickly, and treat strife and trouble like a basket of rattle snakes,” he said at the time.

The loving pair met when they were both struggling actors working in the New York City theatre scene, according to TV Fanatic. “I thought she was cute, and she gave me her number,” he told the outlet. Their first official date was a romantic stroll through Central Park, and the rest was history. He also shared that through all of life’s many ups and downs, he and Gina always were committed to staying together. “You gain strength in the struggle. We never veered from the focus of our careers, but also committed to staying together and building a family,” James added.

Gina & James’ Children

James and his wife have two adult children: Gavyn Picken and Carl Tharps. Gina and James welcomed their daughter in 1988, about four years after they got married. Carl is Gina’s son from a previous relationship, and he was born in 1974. James is a very proud father to both Gavyn and Carl, who he has featured on his Instagram as well. On Sept. 29, 2021, he shared a sweet family group photo of the three of them with the caption, “Happy Sons Day Carl.” Gavyn is a YouTuber and blogger with over 16K subscribers. She often posts content about her lifestyle, travel, and beauty advice. However, Carl lives a life out of the spotlight and it is not publicly known what he does for work.

Cynthia Erivo quickly pushed him away as security intervened, and their other co-star Michelle Yeoh placed her arms around Grande to comfort her.
