Stellan Skarsgård defended his young son against constant “nepo baby” jibes, which he said were making the boy feel “sad” and “isolated.” During an interview with Vulture on Wednesday, the 74-year-old Swedish actor opened up about the corrosive effect the label can have on younger children. “My 13-year-old, Kolbjörn, the youngest, suffers from that,” the father of eight told the publication. “When his pals at school call him nepo baby, he gets so sad. He doesn’t have any friends at school. He gets isolated. Cruel kids—or cruel and ignorant.” He said the nepo baby taunt was an internet favorite, adding, “But it is such a bulls--t thing. Because nobody would hire you, at least not for anything good, if you’re not good enough.” Elsewhere in the interview, Skarsgård jokingly referred to himself as a “nepo daddy” due to the goodwill and “maybe jobs” generated by his relationship with his older, more famous sons, including Succession and The Northman star Alexander, It actor Bill, and Oppenheimer star Gustaf. Stellan himself has appeared in over 130 roles since starting his career in the late 1960s, including Good Will Hunting, The Hunt for Red October, and his Golden Globe-winning appearance in HBO’s Chernobyl miniseries. He is also being tipped for a late-career Oscar for his role as an aging film director in the Norwegian family drama Sentimental Value. Bon Jovi is heading out on tour for the first time in four years following lead singer Jon Bon Jovi’s 2022 vocal surgery. The band announced a seven-date Forever Tour that consists of three stops in Edinburgh, Dublin and London and four nights at New York City’s Madison Square Garden next July.

It will be released on Friday. The Bon Jovi frontman underwent surgery on his vocal cords in 2022, a procedure featured in the documenary Thank You, Goodnight: The Bon Jovi Story. The singer said that he was “deeply grateful” to be able to sing again, describing heading back out on tour as the moment the band has been waiting for.

Georgina Chapman, the ex-wife of convicted sex offender Harvey Weinstein, has been issued a foreclosure notice on her $2.5 million New York City home. The notice was sent on October 15. “You are in danger of losing your home,” the legal documents warned, according to Page Six. Chapman mortgaged the property with her brother Edward, with the siblings servicing a monthly loan to CrossCountry Mortgage, LLC, of $9,114.58 a month until February 2052. The complaint states that the Chapmans allegedly “defaulted on the mortgage” in November 2024. “If you do not respond to this summons and complaint by serving a copy of the answer on the attorney for the mortgage company who filed this foreclosure proceeding against you and filing the answer with the court, a default judgment may be entered and you can lose your home,” the notice further stated. Chapman, 49, was a regular cast member of Project Runway All Stars and co-founded fashion label Marchesa in 2004. That was the year she started dating Weinstein. They married in 2007 and have two children. Chapman announced she was divorcing Weinstein in 2017 after more than 100 women made accusations against him, including rape. Weinstein, 73, remains in prison at Rikers Island, and has frequently been hospitalized due to health issues. Chapman has been in a relationship with two-time Oscar winner Adrien Brody, 52, since 2019. The Daily Beast has contacted reps for Chapman for comment. An awkward moment at Miss Grand International is prompting sympathy and criticism alike from viewers. The 76 contestants stood on stage, hoping to hear their country as one of the 20 finalists. Host Matthew Deane read out “Miss Grand Paraguay” to cheers and applause as Isamar Herrera covered her face with glee before confidently strutting down the runway, striking a pose at the end, and heading to where the other finalists stood. The only issue was that Herrera was Miss Grand Panama, not Miss Grand Paraguay. “Aaah, I beg your pardon, I announced Miss Grand Paraguay,” Deane said. “There is a lot of noise in this hall, packed full of fans from all over the world,” he said as Paraguay’s representation, Cecilia Romero, proceeded to the front. Herrera walked away from the finalists and didn’t make the final round. The moment went viral, with some viewers sympathizing with Herrera: “Could they not stop her sooner?? Poor girl,” one wrote, while another penned, “Even the cameraperson heard Panama or Canada because they zoomed in on one of them.” Others, however, weren’t as considerate, commenting “I heard paraguay clearly” and “I would have died of embarrassment.” Scouted selects products independently.

The Coast Guard rescued a family of three who had become stranded for over a day on an island off Martha’s Vineyard after their boat burst into flames. The man and his parents jumped off the 30-foot vessel and swam to the shore of Naushon Island on Monday night, where they were rescued by helicopter on Wednesday morning. A concerned family member reported on Tuesday evening that they hadn’t returned to Eel Pond near Falmouth, Massachusetts, after expecting them to arrive that afternoon. The family had departed aboard their boat, the Third Wave, on Friday. Initial search efforts by the Falmouth police Drone Unit were unable to locate them. “Mariners requested to keep a sharp lookout ... and report all sights to the Coast Guard,” the Coast Guard radioed, according to Broadcastify.com audio. It wasn’t until Wednesday morning, after the family’s marine radio washed up on the island, that the Coast Guard received the mayday call. Volunteers from Naushon Trust were the first to reach the stranded family and administer first aid. At least one person has serious injuries. Kim Kardashian has decided to expand her colossal California compound, reportedly buying up a $7 million property next door to her existing $20 million home, per TMZ. Although she already lives on a three-acre property, the 45-year-old reality star and entrepreneur is reported to have bought the adjacent house which is close to the horse trails in California’s affluent Hidden Hills. The SKIMS founder purchased her current home with her now-ex-husband, Kanye West, in 2014. West then spent five years working with architects and designers to re-model the home to their tastes. However, Kim then remodelled the eight bedroom home again in 2024 when her 2021 divorce from the musician was finalized, spending a reported $23 million to buy the house and its contents off of West, per the Daily Mail. According to the Daily Mail, she does not want to leave the house because that is where her four children have grown up. This is not Kardashian’s only home in California, as she also owns a $70 million beach house in Malibu. The remains of a former president’s daughter are to be reburied in the U.S. after nearly 200 years in an unmarked grave in France. President James Monroe’s child, Eliza Monroe Hay, will be laid to rest at a cemetery in Richmond, Virginia, with her family on October 23. It comes after years of painstaking investigation and campaigning from retired teacher Barbara VornDick. She learned about Hay while working at a home of the fifth president near Charlottesville in 2018. Her research unearthed a letter from Hay written in 1839 pleading, “I am now in distress, in ill health, and in a foreign country... Save me from utter ruin,” The Washington Post reports. Hay spent years caring for her ailing loved ones after they left the White House, including Monroe, who died in 1831. Allegedly starved of inheritance by her sister’s husband, Samuel Gouverneur, she sailed for France in 1838 to seek help from friends in Europe. By 1840, she was dead. VornDick received a tip that French officials previously wrote to the James Monroe Museum and Memorial Library in Fredericksburg, Virginia. They warned her graveyard was crumbling and her remains may have to be exhumed and placed in an ossuary. The Bringing Eliza Home Project was launched in 2023. A wild black bear that slipped into a zoo was spotted visiting some of its brethren. The American black bear, which had somehow found its way into Sequoia Park Zoo in Eureka, California, was spotted at about 9:30 a.m., leaning on a gate to watch its resident bears—Tule, Ishŭng, and Kunabulilh—through their fence, the zoo said on Facebook. Police and California Fish and Wildlife responded, with officers using nonlethal shotgun projectiles to push the animal back toward the woods “to provide the bear with a negative human interaction,” a state spokesperson told the Los Angeles Times. The bear never entered any animal enclosures and left via a service gate after a brief inspection of “enrichment items” that provide stimulation for animals, the zoo said. “Overall, he was a very polite visitor,” the zoo added. The Times reported that the perimeter fence was intact and that the bear may have climbed a tree to enter from adjacent Sequoia Park’s 60 acres. Zoo officials reminded guests to observe wildlife from a distance and stay on marked trails. Scouted selects products independently.

Still, some of us may prefer to delay those natural signs of aging with skincare and cosmetic treatments. If you want to avoid injectables and in-office aesthetic treatments like lasers and microneedling, investing in a solid skincare routine that includes the essentials (cleanser, toner, vitamin C serums, and a retinoid) can be supercharged by incorporating a liquid peptide serum like the Medik8 Liquid Peptides 30% Complex Hydrating Peptide Serum. The UK-based clinical-level skincare brand is loved by celebrities with seriously enviable skin, including Hailey Bieber and Victoria Beckham, but that’s not the only reason we love this firming and line-softening serum. Medik8 Multi-Peptide Age Defying Serum With Copper Peptides See At LookFantastic Free Returns | Free Shipping The Liquid Peptides serum contains multiple types of peptides and skin-boosting ingredients to target multiple signs of aging—including peptides that specifically target expression lines to prevent new wrinkles from setting in (a similar topical effect to neuromodulator injections like Botox and Dysport). It also contains a multi-weight hyaluronic acid to plump fine lines and lock in moisture so the skin doesn’t appear crepey or dehydrated—especially under the eyes. This peptide-powered serum sold out four times last year thanks to its fast-acting and super-effective formula, so if you want to find out what the hype is about, we recommend acting fast. A man has died at a Disney World property just a week after another person passed away at another of the entertainment conglomerate’s sites, and just two weeks after a third person died at still another Disney venue. The man, who has not been identified, was found at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground in Orange County, Florida, on Tuesday. Police said he experienced a “medical episode” before being transported to a local hospital, “where unfortunately he died.” While authorities added that “there are no signs of foul play,” the death comes after last Tuesday’s suicide of Summer Equitz, 31, at the Walt Disney World Contemporary Resort, also in Orange County. An investigation remains ongoing into the circumstances of her death, which happened after an “unresponsive woman in her 60s” was found on the Haunted Mansion ride at Disneyland in California’s Anaheim Park. Police said that after “an unfortunate medical episode,” security personnel at the site “provided CPR until paramedics arrived,” at which point “she was transported to a local hospital, where she was later pronounced dead.” Nearly two-thirds of Americans say the country is on the wrong track under President Donald Trump, according to a new poll, with independents driving the slide. In the 16th annual American Values Survey by the nonprofit, nonpartisan Public Religion Research Institute, 62 percent say the U.S. is headed the wrong way, including 71 percent of independents and 92 percent of Democrats, while 24 percent of Republicans now agree. The poll, conducted by Ipsos, found majorities say the economy (65 percent), the federal government’s functioning (65 percent), foreign affairs (60 percent), and immigration policy (57 percent) are going in the wrong direction. On policy specifics, majorities say the administration has gone too far with cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, and Obamacare (60 percent), cuts to universities and research (55 percent), new tariffs (54 percent), and boosting ICE funding to accelerate arrests and deportations (52 percent). Nearly six in 10 oppose ICE officers concealing their identities or using unmarked vehicles during arrests (58 percent). PRRI CEO Melissa Deckman said independents “are very unhappy with Trump’s actions.”
