Carnie Wilson seen for first time since death of dad Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys fame as she hugs her husband

Daily Mail​07-07-2025
Carnie Wilson put on a brave face as she was seen for the first time since the death of her father Brian Wilson at age 82.
The Beach Boys band member passed away in mid June.
The 57-year-old singer — who followed in her music icon dad's footsteps — stopped by a car dealership on Sunday.
She was joined by her longtime husband, fellow singer Rob Bonfiglio, during the outing.
At one point the couple warmly wrapped their arms around each other.
Wilson, who shares daughters Luciana, 16, and Lola, 20, with Bonfiglio, wore cropped white cargo pants and a blue blouse.
Beach Boys founder Brian, one of the most acclaimed and influential songwriters of the 20th century, died on June 11.
The God Only Knows hitmaker rose to prominence as the frontman of the Beach Boys in the 60s.
Last year, weeks after the death of his longtime wife Melinda, it was revealed that he had been diagnosed with a neurocognitive disorder similar to dementia.
His seven children announced his death on his official Instagram page, alongside a recent photo.
'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved father Brian Wilson has passed away. We are at a loss for words right now,' they wrote.
The mourning brood added, 'Please respect our privacy at this time as our family is grieving. We realize that we are sharing our grief with the world. Love & Mercy.'
One day later Carnie wrote on Instagram: 'I have no words to express the sadness I feel right now. My Father was every fiber of my body.
'He will be remembered by millions and millions until the world ends. I am lucky to have been his daughter and had a soul connection with him that will live on always.'
The Wilson Phillips singer added, 'I've never felt this kind of pain before, but I know he's resting up there in heaven... or maybe playing the piano for Grandma Audree his Mom.'
She concluded, 'I will post something else soon but this is all my hands will let me type. I love you Daddy....I miss so much you already.'
On July 3 Carnie performed with her family at The Tribe's All-Star Tribute to the Beach Boys in Agoura Hills, California, calling it 'a total joy.'
Wilson and her husband celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in late June, days after her devastating loss.
She wrote online, '25 years my love... I knew you were the one when I saw your smile. You gave me the sweetest gift I've ever known... our girls. I love you baby @rob_bonfiglio now and forever! Happy Anniversary!'
Rob shared a tribute of his own, writing on Instagram, '25 years, two beautiful children and a lifetime of adventures to go! I love you now and always!'

Jessica Alba's new boyfriend Danny Ramirez's crush on A-lister who looks just like the actress is revealed - after confirming romance with actor 11 years her junior

Jessica Alba 's new toyboy boyfriend Danny Ramirez previously revealed he has a crush on a famous singer who bears a striking resemblance to his new girlfriend. The actor, 33, who is 11 years younger than Jessica, confessed in a 2021 interview which celebrity he secretly fancies - and it wasn't Jessica. However, the woman he did name does look a lot like the Hollywood actress, 44, after it was confirmed that the couple are dating. During a chat with Square Mile during the Covid pandemic, Danny confessed that his ideal lock down partner would be songstress Ariana Grande, 32. The Captain America star even went so far as to say he would pin hopes on the two of them falling in love if they had to live together. Gushing over the star at the time, he said: 'Ariana Grande. Have you heard her voice? I think having someone that could sing like that would make this quarantine experience so much easier and then maybe who knows… we could fall in love? But let's take things slow and see where it leads. 'God, this is embarrassing am I actually going to submit this? Eh. We're in a quarantine. F** it. This will only come back to haunt me if she ever reads it… which in that case means she knows about me'. The resurfaced confession comes after it was revealed that mother-of-three Jessica is dating actor Danny. . She was spotted with the handsome actor, who turns 33 in September, while boarding a plane to Cancun - and returning back to LA together on Sunday. Their sighting comes two months after she was spotted 'kissing' a mystery man in London, however it is unclear if that was Danny. Jessica announced her split from husband Cash Warren in January, after 17 years of marriage. They share three kids together: daughters Honor, 17, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, seven. It is unclear how Jessica and Danny met. Danny, who was born in Chicago, Illinois, is best known for his role in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Joaquin Torres/Falcon in the Disney+ show The Falcon and the Winter Soldier and the film Captain America: Brave New World. The handsome actor also starred in Top Gun: Maverick as Lieutenant Mickey Garcia. He is currently in the midst of filming Avengers: Doomsday, which is set to drop December 18, 2026. Danny studied acting at New York University Tisch School of the Arts, after deciding to switch his focus from becoming an athlete to an actor due to injuries. Danny got his start in 2016 after making his acting debut in The Affair and also Blindspot that same year. TMZ were the first to report his identity. However, it was reported on Monday that Jessica is not dating anyone 'seriously,' according to People 's sources. 'She's been getting a lot of attention since the divorce. She's flattered and definitely enjoying being single again,' an insider insisted. She's gone on some dates, but it's nothing serious - she's focused on herself and her kids. She's not interested in a relationship right now.' the source added. The actress is 'excited' to be getting back into acting, and is looking forward to working with Orlando Bloom on their new project The Mark, with the source revealing that she called him 'charming.' 'She's in a great place. She's excited to get back to filming. She's doing what she loves and keeping her circle tight,' the insider told the magazine. In mid-January, Jessica took to her Instagram to announce her split from Cash, writing in a note - with the comments turned off - after months of speculation. 'I've been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years - both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,' she wrote. 'I'm proud of how we've grown in our marriage over the last 20 years and it's now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.' 'We are moving forward with love, kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.' Jessica (pictured in London earlier this month) did not have a prenuptial agreement with Cash Insiders in February told TMZ that Jessica and Cash did not have a prenuptial agreement in place amid their breakup. Jessica in January filed for divorce represented by Laura Wasser, while Cash, represented by Adam Lipsic, filed identical docs confirming the split. Sources told the outlet that things were 'extremely amicable' for Jessica and Cash amid the complicated divorce process. They each petitioned the court for joint physical and legal custody of their three children. Their cumulative net worth was estimated as at least $723 million, the outlet reported, citing Jessica's Honest Company with a $623 million; and Cash's apparel brand Pair of Thieves being worth at least $100 million. Celebrity Net Worth had Jessica's net worth estimated at around $100 million as of mid-February, which would have factored the split in to the calculation. Jessica and Cash first met in 2004 while on the set of Fantastic Four; they married in May 2008. There were hints that their marriage was on the rocks, with Jessica being spotted on a number of occasions prior to her announcement without her ring.

Singer labeled a 'disgrace to America' after bizarre national anthem rendition

Baseball fans at the Baltimore Orioles game were left stunned on Thursday afternoon after electronic musician Dan Deacon performed a bizarre version of the national anthem. A half-full Camden Yards stood to attention for the Star-Spangled Banner ahead of a double header against the New York Mets, but were forced to listen to what some described as a 'disgrace to America'. Opting against the usual vocal-only rendition, Deacon - a Baltimore-based musician - used auto-tune technology to create a sound that has to be heard to be believed... and some were left underwhelmed by the change-up. On social media, Deacon quickly went viral, racking up close to a million views, with one fan noting: 'I think the Orioles have officially hit rock bottom.' Another added: 'This is a disgrace to America', while a third said: 'You can literally see people thinking "what the f*** is this?"' Others, though, felt Deacon's efforts were a breath of fresh air and one fan was quick to defend the singer, claiming: 'No Dan Deacon slander will be tolerated.' Another supporter added: 'That kinda slapped tbh... I dig it!' In the video clip from the stadium, fans can be seen looking confused as the anthem gets underway, as they try to get used to the bizarre special effects being used. On his Instagram account, Deacon himself posted a clip of the rendition, alongside the caption 'Go Os'. Baltimore's pregame national anthem is already shrouded in some controversy, because fans yell 'Oh!' in the middle of it. While fans of some teams feel it is disrespectful, locals stand by the tradition. At the start of the seventh line - 'Oh say does that star-spangled banner yet wave' - Baltimore sports fans over-pronounce the first word.
