Michelle Obama Missing Dinner With Barack Reignites Divorce Rumors
Despite the former First Lady's efforts to squash tittle-tattle, the discussion remains afloat. She has outwardly criticized said rumors and even clarified her decisions to step away from the spotlight, but it appeared to be in vain.
Page Six shared Backgrid's photos of Barack Obama enjoying a dinner with his girls, with Michelle notably missing from the family hangout amid her attempts to shut down divorce rumors.
Michelle Obama previously explained her decision to take a break from the spotlight on Sophia Bush's 'Work in Progress' podcast while dismissing rumors and speculation about problems in her marriage. But her opting to sit out the family dinner on Friday, which seemed the ideal way to kick off the weekend, reignited the talks she willfully tried to silence.
The snaps showed the former president of the United States leaning into a more casual look in a bomber jacket, black shirt, and grey trousers for the outing. On Friday, Obama and their daughters, Malia and Sasha, were spotted heading to dinner at a popular sushi restaurant, Hamasaku, in West Los Angeles.
However, his wife remained noticeably absent from the get-together for unclear reasons. Michelle previously missed other political events, such as President Donald Trump's inauguration and former President Jimmy Carter's funeral
Earlier this month, Michelle Obama brushed off divorce rumors on Bush's podcast as she justified her absence from the spotlight. 'I chose to do what was best for me,' said the mom of two, explaining she now has full control of her social life and calendar.
Moreover, Michelle addressed how saying 'no' or making choices for herself raised questions about problems in her and Barack Obama's marriage. She commented that people could not 'fathom that I was making a choice for myself, that they had to assume that my husband and I are divorcing.'

Hulk Hogan's wife shreds ‘heartbreakingly misleading' stories after his funeral
Sky Daily, the wife of the late Hulk Hogan, cautioned that there is false information being spread after the wrestling icon was laid to rest in a private funeral on Tuesday in Clearwater, Fla. Hogan, who died on July 24 from a heart attack at the age of 71, and his family, including ex-wife Linda and their two kids, Brooke and Nick, have been in the headlines over behind-the-scenes drama. 'There are heartbreakingly misleading media stories created by faceless AI accounts or by people not close enough to truly know what was happening,' Sky, 46, wrote Wednesday in an Instagram post, which included a tribute video to the WWE Hall of Famer. 'Please be patient and know this: he was deeply loved, well cared for, and surrounded by that love until his very last moment.' Sky did not name anyone or mention a specific story. Her remarks came after Brooke's appearance on the 'Bubba the Love Sponge' show Tuesday, when she mentioned Sky's alleged history with Scientology. 4 Hulk Hogan and his wife Sky Daily. Instagram/Sky Daily Brooke told Bubba the Love Sponge, a former close friend of Hogan before the wrestler's sex tape scandal, that she took herself out of her father's will because she was 'scared,' adding, 'I don't want to fight Scientology. I don't want somebody that I love to get knocked off.' Hogan, whose real name was Terry Bollea, had been at the center of conspiracy theories, as rumors had been circulating about the state of his health in the weeks before his death. Since mid-June, Bubba the Love Sponge reported that the iconic wrestler was in the ICU and on his deathbed — which a rep for Hogan, as well as Sky, denied. 4 Brooke Hogan and Hulk Hogan. Instagram/Brooke Hogan Hogan was taken by ambulance from his home in Clearwater, Fla., on July 24, with a 911 call citing 'cardiac arrest.' He died at the hospital. The next day, Sky called his death 'sudden' in an Instagram message. Hogan previously had leukemia and atrial fibrillation, or irregular heartbeat, according to the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center records obtained by Page Six. His manner of death was ruled natural, according to the cremation summary approval report. 4 Hulk Hogan at the US premiere of the film 'War of the Worlds,' at the Zigfield Theatre in New York, June 23, 2005. REUTERS Sky said Hogan has not yet been cremated, as their family has questions about his medical care. 'Terry chose cremation knowing this physical life is temporary and his heavenly body eternal,' she wrote in her Instagram post Wednesday. 'He has not yet been cremated, as our family is making sure every question about his medical care is answered first. Once we have that peace of mind, we will honor his wish and fulfill it with love and respect.' Of Hogan's funeral, Sky said it was 'one of the most beautiful and moving days I have ever experienced.' 4 New York Post cover for Friday, July 25, 2025. Front Page. R.I.P. Hulk. Wrestling superstar, pop-culture icon Hogan dead at 71. csuarez 'In the same church where we were married and baptized together, we gathered with family, friends, and loved ones to honor a life that touched millions,' she wrote. 'The church was filled with stories… some that brought tears, others that made us laugh through those tears… and with every memory shared, you could feel the love that surrounded him. 'The pastor of our church prepared this moving video for the service that reflects his unwavering Christian faith- a faith that anchored him and brought him peace every day.' Brooke did not attend the funeral and instead, she said she honored her father in a private celebration of life at the beach with her husband, former NHL defenseman Steve Olesky, and their infant twins. 'My father hated the morbidity of funerals,' she wrote on Instagram. 'He didn't want one. And although I know people grieve in many ways – and I'm so grateful for all celebrations and events organized to honor him, as his daughter, I had to make my own decision to honor him the best and most genuine way I knew how…privately…the way that made me feel the closest to him. The only thing missing today was him in is pop up lawn chair watching the waves… and the sunset.'

Kelly Clarkson Cancels Residency for Heartbreaking Reason
Kelly Clarkson canceled her Las Vegas residency shows for the second time, announcing the news on Instagram in a personal statement about her ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. "Unfortunately, I need to postpone the remainder of the August Studio Session dates in Las Vegas," Kelly wrote. "While I normally keep my personal life private, this past year, my children's father has been ill and at this moment, I need to be fully present for them." She added, "I am sincerely sorry to everyone who bought tickets to the shows and I so appreciate your grace, kindness and understanding." FYI, Kelly originally postponed her residency in early July, citing vocal issues. "We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans," she said at the time. "I am beyond grateful that you always show up for me and I am devastated to have to postpone tonight and tomorrow's opening at Caesars. The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice. I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve. The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong. I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on." A source told Page Six that behind the scenes, "Kelly's personal life is so insanely complicated. Kelly is fighting some serious hidden battles that very few people are privy to…it's a source of emotional and therefore physical distress for her."

Kelly Clarkson Can't ‘Risk Damaging' Vocal Cords Amid Canceled Shows as She Fights ‘Hidden Battles'
Less than two hours before she was set to hit the stage on July 4, Kelly Clarkson canceled the opening night of her highly anticipated Studio Sessions residency at Caesars Palace to avoid potential injury to her voice. 'She belts out every single note,' a Las Vegas insider spilled to Page Six on the reasons behind the sudden change of plans. 'She's an incredibly powerful singer, but it takes its toll on her vocal cords and she's come incredibly close to needing surgery before.' 'She cannot risk damaging her cords further,' explained the insider. 'She's on thin ice.' A second source revealed that Clarkson, 43, is struggling with 'serious hidden battles' that 'very few people are privy to.' 'Kelly's personal life is so insanely complicated,' the source shares. 'It's a source of emotional, and therefore, physical distress for her.' The 'Because of You' singer's 18-show residency at the Colosseum was announced in February, causing many fans to rush to buy tickets. However, they were left disappointed when Clarkson was forced to cancel her first and second shows on such short notice – especially seeing as some fans from out of state had booked pricey travel and hotels so that they could attend. Shortly after her decision to postpone the concert, a 'devastated' Clarkson took to Instagram on July 4, to explain the upsetting situation to her followers. 'We have been working 24/7 to make Studio Sessions the most intimate and extraordinary experience with and for my incredible fans'' she said at the time. 'The prep and rehearsals have taken a toll on my voice.' 'I want the shows to be perfect for y'all and I need to protect myself from doing serious damage so I am taking this weekend and next week to rest up so that we can deliver what you all deserve,' she continued. 'The show is truly incredible. The musicians and singers are outstanding, and I want us all to start out strong. I can't wait to be back next weekend and show y'all what we've been working on.' While some fans in the comments section offered her words of love and support, others were left frustrated and suggested her decision was 'disrespectful' to attendees. One person wrote, 'I'm literally here in a homemade Kelly Clarkson T-shirt. I spent $700 on flights and $1000 on [the] hotel. Canceling one hour before the show is INSANE.' A second person pointed out, 'The crazy part is there isn't even an apology in this post.' 'I wish you would've done this sooner than 15 mins before doors opening,' a third fan chimed in, before adding, 'I hope you feel better.'
