Sarah Michelle Gellar pays emotional tribute to Shannen Doherty
Sarah Michelle Gellar has paid an emotional tribute to Shannen Doherty on the first anniversary of her death. The 48-year-old actress has taken to social media to share some memories of her showbiz pal, who died of cancer on July 13, 2024, aged 53. Sarah took to Instagram to share a series of throwback photos of the pair posing for the camera, captioning the post with a broken-heart emoji. The Hollywood star's carousel of photographs was set to the sound of See You Again by Wiz Khalifa and Charlie Puth. The Beverly Hills, 90210 actress was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer in 2015, and she passed away last year following a lengthy battle with the disease. News of Shannen's passing was announced by Leslie Sloan, her publicist. Leslie said in a statement given to Us Weekly at the time: "It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease." Meanwhile, Kelly Ripa - another of Shannen's showbiz friends - previously revealed that the actress knew "her time was very, very limited" in the weeks before she died. The TV star interviewed Shannen on her Let's Talk Off Camera podcast in June 2024, and she admitted that their final conversations left her "crushed" because her pal was so aware of her own mortality. Recalling how she was "constantly" trying to set Shannen up on dates, Kelly told Entertainment Tonight: "I always had an idea in my mind as to who might be a good match with Shannen. "But the last conversation, she actually said to me, 'I'm kind of a tough sell because I don't have a lot of time left.' "So that, I think, is what I took away, that I was crushed that she seemed to know that her time was very, very limited." Despite her sadness, Kelly found "peace" in knowing the actress is finally free of pain. She added: "I will say, she was telling me about her treatments and it was so brutal and painful. It sounds very glib but the fact she's no longer in pain — physical pain — provides everyone that knew and loved her with a little peace."

Olivia Culpo welcomes a baby girl
Olivia Culpo has given birth to a baby girl. The 33-year-old star has taken to social media to announce that herself and husband Christian McCaffrey have welcomed their first child into the world. Alongside a photo of her daughter's tiny hand, Olivia wrote on Instagram: "Colette Annalise McCaffrey [heart emoji] (sic)" Christian, 29, has also shared the same post on his own social media account. And Olivia has already hailed the sports star as the "best daddy in the world". The brunette beauty wrote on the photo-sharing platform: "Colette is so lucky to have the best daddy in the world. A love like no other." Olivia actually described childbirth as the "scariest and most rewarding of all experiences". The model - who previously dated Nick Jonas - added: "As soon as [Christian] came into the room, I felt most at peace." Olivia previously admitted that her pregnancy proved just how much she needs her own mother. The model - who announced her pregnancy in March - explained that her mom has been hugely supportive of her over recent months. Olivia - who won the Miss Universe beauty pageant back in 2012 - told People: "I feel like I have a lot of respect for my mom and one thing that I realised through this experience of becoming a mom is actually how much I've needed my mom, which I didn't anticipate. "She's just been so helpful to me, especially in the beginning of my pregnancy. That was really tough. It's just kind of an interesting thing, and I'm just so grateful to her. "It's just an ironic thought that you need your mom the most when you're about to become a mom. That's just genuinely how I felt." The loved-up couple did "a lot of research" ahead of welcoming their baby. Despite this, Christian acknowledged that "everybody's experience is different". The San Francisco 49ers star shared: "A lot of research, a lot of questions to parents, but one thing I've realised is everybody's experience is different. "I think it's one of those things that you just have to go through, do the best you can with the information that you have."

‘I'm grateful': OnlyFans star says mum films his content
A popular OnlyFans creator has stunned fans after revealing that his mum is involved in filming his content. British social media personality and adult star Kurts Adams Rozentals shared on Instagram that 'my mum films all my content,' jokingly calling it a 'family business'. 'The content is controversial,' he explained. '99 per cent of parents wouldn't film their child.' He also mentioned that he was 'super grateful' to his mum for not second-guessing her child's wild video ideas. However, he quickly assured that if one of his content ideas was 'too much,' his mum would say something to him. 'But we still film them regardless, and they still make it on the internet,' he added. 'So shout out to the best (mum) in the galaxy.' The revelation outraged followers, prompting many to comment with shock and disgust. One Instagram user exclaimed, 'What the f **k?!?!?!', while another said it was 'Just sick'. Meanwhile, a third called it 'So trashy'. Elsewhere online, someone else asked: 'What sort of mother would do this? She's not fit to be a mother'. However, what he didn't mention in his video was that he was referring to his other social media content, not his explicit videos. 'People clearly don't read captions these days,' he said. 'SOCIAL MEDIA CONTENT ONLY (We'd like to clarify),' the caption read. The influencer and athlete has nearly 100,000 followers on Instagram but also has a part-time gig as an adult content creator on OnlyFans. Rozentals, an athlete in individual canoe slalom, gained media attention after claiming he was banned from competing due to his racy account. In April, the governing body Paddle UK suspended him over 'allegations' concerning his social media posts, as reported by the BBC. The body did not specify the details of the allegations, but Rozentals told BBC Sports at the time that he believed it was related to his OnlyFans content. 'I have been posting videos (on Instagram) that are consciously made to be edgy in order to drive conversions to my 'spicy content page' (on OnlyFans), to fund this ultimate dream of going to the Olympics,' he said. Rozentals set up his own adult content subscription account in January this year to support his athletic dreams, promoting it with videos and pictures on his Instagram to attract new viewers.
