Post Malone Scores A Win In L.A. Phase Of Custody Battle
Although one phase of the custody battle is over, however, this is not the end of the road; the custody fight is expected to continue for the singer in Utah.
The update comes as Post Malone continues to make headlines for his personal struggles, including a recent onstage fall that occurred days after he split from influencer Christy Lee.
Post Malone's Baby Mama Drops L.A. Custody Case
Malone's legal team, led by powerhouse attorney Laura Wasser, had moved to dismiss the Los Angeles case back in May before Park officially pulled the plug on her request for physical custody of their daughter.
The move shifts the battle back to Utah, where Malone originally filed his own case and where things now seem to be leaning in his favor. California typically allows for higher child support payments than Utah, and Park's initial relocation there raised eyebrows.
Sources tell TMZ that they believe she moved to L.A. after their late-2024 breakup to establish residency and pursue a potentially bigger financial outcome. While Malone's Utah filings are sealed, the strategy appears to be working.
The Rapper Was Served Custody Papers Before Coachella Performance
If you missed it, Malone's ex-fiancée filed for custody back in April and even hired a process server to deliver the paperwork to him.
The Blast revealed that Park had a process server hunt down the entertainer at a high-end apartment building in Downtown Los Angeles. The handoff happened on April 18 around 1 p.m., just two days before his scheduled festival appearance.
Park's custody filing sought to limit Malone's role to visitation. While she agreed to share legal custody, court documents stated that their child, known as DDP, had been living with Park full-time since their breakup in late 2024.
The 'Sunflower' Hitmaker's Custody Fight Is Not His Only Legal Mess
Malone's courtroom battles are stacking up fast, and custody is not the only issue he has faced. The Blast highlighted that while he is embroiled in a legal battle with Park over their daughter, another lawsuit from his past remains pending.
It turns out that Martorell Law has been pursuing both the 30-year-old and his other ex, Ashlen Diaz, since 2022. The firm claims they broke a palimony agreement, a type of deal that sometimes comes into play when long-term couples split without being married.
A filing from June 14, 2024, confirmed things were far from resolved. The judge pushed the hearing back by nearly two months after neither side reached a deal. "The Court learns that the settlement has not yet been finalized and therefore continues today's hearing," the docs read.
The Record Producer Took A Tumble On Stage
All the courtroom chaos seems to be taking a toll on the actor and possibly pushing him to slip on his sobriety. Malone took a nasty spill on stage earlier this month, and there might be more behind it than just a clumsy misstep.
The Blast shared that the incident happened just days after Malone and influencer Christy Lee called it quits. While performing "Pour Me a Drink" with Blake Shelton at State Farm Stadium in Phoenix, Malone was seen holding what appeared to be a beer.
Things took a turn when Malone crouched down to toast a fan near the stage. As he leaned forward, part of the platform gave way, sending the singer crashing to the ground.
A clip of the moment shared on TikTok captured the audible gasp from the crowd. The poster, clearly shaken, captioned the video, "I am SO sorry, Austin. I love you! Such an amazing show."
Post Malone Opened Up About Sobriety
Although his recent actions say otherwise, Malone once credited fatherhood for helping him ditch the bottle. The father-of-one, who became a dad in 2022, opened up about leaving his partying days behind after the birth of his daughter.
In a candid conversation with Zane Lowe, he admitted that alcohol had long been his emotional crutch, saying he once struggled to express himself without being "a little f-cked up."
Still, at the time, he insisted things had changed. Malone explained, "It's a good spot now because if I'm not recording or I'm not talking to people or if I'm not doing shows, I really do drink just to have fun. It's like having a beer with my dad or my bud."
Post Malone might have scored a small win in his ongoing custody fight with ex-fiancée Jamie Park, but there is still a long legal journey ahead.

The "Romantic" First Look At Colleen Hoover's 'Regretting You' Is Bursting With Chemistry
Colleen Hoover (and her books) aren't afraid to make a statement. BookTok is still reeling from , while the rest of the internet can't stop talking about the cast. Hoover's newest adaptation, Regretting You, is just as gripping and emotional as all her other stories. The movie is based on the 2019 novel of the same name, and while centers around romantic relationships, Regretting You is all about mother-daughter relationships and moving through grief. And thanks to , we have a first look at the movie! Here's everything you need to know about Colleen Hoover's Regretting You movie, coming to theaters October 24, 2025. What is the book Regretting You about? Regretting You follows Morgan Grant (played by Allison Williams), who put her dreams on hold years ago when she got pregnant with her daughter Clara (McKenna Grace). Their age gap mirrors the one we see we see between Lorelai and Rory in , but instead of the Gilmores' close bond, Morgan and Clara's relationship becomes more strained the older Clara gets — especially when Morgan's husband Chris (Scott Eastwood) passes away in a tragic accident, revealing a secret that could change Clara's life forever. While is a production from Sony, Regretting You will be a Paramount Pictures flick. The cast is incredible and honestly, I'll always know Scott Eastwood as the guy from Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" music video. Where can I watch Regretting You? Regretting You comes out on October 24, and it's easily one of our most-anticipated movies for 2025! Who's in the Regretting You cast? Regretting You will be directed by The Fault in Our Stars' Josh Boone and written by Susan McMartin, and the cast list is amazing! Here's the breakdown: Allison Williams as Morgan McKenna Grace as Clara Dave Franco as Jonah Mason Thames as Miller Willa Fitzgerald as Jenny Scott Eastwood as Chris Sam Morelos Clancy Brown Ethan Samuel Costanilla Who are the Regretting You characters? Regretting You has some pretty memorable characters: Morgan Grant: Clara's mother who wants to keep Clara from making the same mistakes she did. Clara Grant: Morgan's daughter who longs for independence. Chris Grant: Morgan's husband and Clara's dad, who's involved in an accident that changes everything. Miller Adams: Clara's she's technically not allowed to see. Jonah Sullivan: an unexpected and comforting presence for Morgan. Jenny Davidson: Morgan's sister Lexie: Clara's BFF Is Regretting You a spicy book? Regretting You definitely has less spice than Colleen Hoover's other books. In fact, this TikToker ranks it as her least-spicy book! Since the story focuses on Morgan and Clara, instead of a romantic relationship, this is a good pick for any readers who prefer less spicy books. But don't worry, romance fans. The movie will definitely still have plenty of tension and chemistry. I mean just look at these photos! What's the message of Regretting You? Regretting You is all about life, which I know sounds like a huge message! But the story introduces us to an established family rather than two people who want to begin a family. Chris, Morgan, and Clara already have relationships with each other, and as time passes in the story, Regretting You shows us how circumstances can change, how overwhelming our emotions can feel, and how strong our family bonds can become. And there are plenty of romantic moments too. What are the trigger warnings for Regretting You? Regretting You sees its character grapple with the reality of grief — over loss, broken relationships, and more. (There are some steamy scenes too, obviously). But the cast still had a good time on set, in thanks to Allison Williams. "I cannot resist the urge to punctuate these scenes with improv that can never end up in the movie because it's a PG-13 movie and I swear like a sailor," she tells EW. "But given that my only formal training is improv comedy, it's just sort of the crutch I rely on every once in a while, and when a scene has just kind of reached its end and we're all just standing there, I can't help myself." "One of the things that I like to do in my films, and [Regretting You director] Josh Boone likes to do also, is that it's just like real life where you have drama, but also there's comedy," producer Brunson Green adds. "There's laughs, right? When something bad happens, five seconds later, something funny in life happens. And I think that Josh has done such a great job of finding that balance." But there is still plenty of drama (and secrets) to be had with these characters, and a lot that's said without speaking a word. "I think that's always the hope in a scene, that there's a ton of stuff going on that's not being said, that you're just living and experiencing and hopefully revealing to the audience," Willa Fitzgerald says.

Cynthia Erivo And Adam Lambert's Jesus Christ Superstar Needs To Tour
Cynthia Erivo (Jesus) and Adam Lambert (Judas), Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl gave a sold-out crowd the son of God for an era accustomed to Gaga theatrics. Farah Sosa This won't be pleasant to hear but if you missed Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl this past weekend, you really lost out on seeing one of the great and memorable stage extravaganzas that Los Angeles has witnessed in recent years. For three nights on a Bowl set as dramatic and luminous as a tabernacle vision, the musical by Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice found life in a new form that at times felt like a full-blown conversion. With the Mercurial (and by that, I mean Freddie) Adam Lambert as Judas, an otherworldly Cynthia Erivo as Jesus (bold casting that outperformed even scriptural expectations) and a supporting cast that included no less than Phillipa Soo from the original Hamilton cast as Mary Magdalene and Josh Gad ( Book of Mormon , Frozen ) as Herod, the 55-year-old Broadway classic suddenly felt as if the heavens themselves had a hand in the production. Okay, let me walk that back a little. It was a fantastic show. But it wasn't so much an update of the original 1970s rock opera as a one-of-a-kind arena-style blowout that let us see what these charismatic powerhouse belters could do with this vintage material. It's the son of God for an era accustomed to Gaga theatrics. You want the Passion of Christ? We'll give you Passion like you've never seen. If you missed the Hollywood Bowl production of Superstar this weekend, you missed a revelation on stage. Farah Sosa Of course, spectacle was part of the JCS program from the beginning. The show originated in 1970 when up-and-coming composer Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyricist Tim Rice teamed up to record a concept album that retold the last week of Jesus's life through rock music, an audacious conceit that pushed the LP to the top of the Billboard charts. The following year, Jesus Christ Superstar premiered on Broadway and in London's West End to mixed reactions. ' Superstar seemed to me less than super,' The New York Times critic Clive Barnes wrote in reviewing the original. In 1973 Norman Jewison's film brought the story to cinemas, complete with Carpenters'–style production values and standout performances by singer Yvonne Elliman and others. Through the '80s and '90s it enjoyed frequent revivals—most notably a 1996 West End run and a 2000 U.S. tour—before a critically acclaimed 2012 Broadway revival reintroduced it to a new generation. Since then it's been mounted everywhere from regional stages to international tours, spawned a live TV concert in 2018 and continues to resonate since the themes of fame, betrayal, and political theater haven't exactly gone out of fashion. Under the stars at the Hollywood Bowl, the gospel-tinged guitars and driving riffs were familiar from the album (you could see people of a certain age mouthing along to every single word). But director and choreographer Sergio Trujillo made sure this version never felt like a throwback. From the first strains of 'Heaven on Their Minds,' Judas's betrayal unfolded against a shifting backdrop of LED panels and pulsing lights, while the orchestra—directed by Stephen Oremus—loosed the score behind a digital curtain, from delicate flute solos in 'Damned for All Time' to full-throated electric roars in the title number. Erivo's Gethsemane: A standing ovation that offsets the controversy There's been some online hand-waving around the 'controversy' of casting a queer Black woman to play the Messiah, but please—Erivo as J.C. wowed audiences as dramatically here as in The Color Purple on Broadway or even on screen with Wicked . Her stirring, affecting wails and torch-ery on 'What's the Buzz,' 'Everything's Alright' and 'The Temple' had a capacity crowd of 17,500 riveted, and that was before the three-minute, mid-act standing ovation Erivo got in the second half for 'Gethsemane (I Only Want to Say).' People everywhere had tears streaming right along with Erivo's. Lambert, meanwhile, reveled in Judas's arc from swagger to ruin, balancing streetwise regret with near-mythic torment. Could any other contemporary singer — aside from perhaps Gaga herself — bring the same combination of goth-rock swagger, heartbreak and glittery stoke to lines like: 'You have set them all on fire / They think they've found the new Messiah / And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong!' I think not. Josh Gad recovered from COVID in time to make the last two performances as King Herod. John Stamos filled in on Friday night, to mixed reviews Elisabeth Asher Why Jesus Christ Superstar deserves an even bigger stage It's not to say the show was perfect. People are still sniveling about poor John Stamos stepping in at the last minute on Friday night as Herod to 'speak sing' the part for Gad, who was out that night with COVID (Gad appeared to be making up for lost time on Sunday with Vegas-style over-the-top kitsch as the ruler of Galilee). And the choreography wasn't exactly on the same epic level as the vocals. But here's my real gripe: Jesus Christ Superstar only got three nights. This thing could storm Broadway, crisscross the country or pitch an actual revival-tent tour and still pack the house for years. Don't lose Erivo or Lambert, that's for sure. But cut it loose from the Bowl and you'd have a transfiguring phenomenon on your hands—one that would keep the faithful and the curious coming back from now 'til kingdom come.

Hailey Bieber Reveals Pregnancy Products She ‘Couldn't Live Without'
Hailey Bieber, founder of beauty brand Rhode, model and first-time mom of nearly 1-year-old Jack Blues, recently shared her must-have pregnancy and postpartum products on her Instagram stories. 'Since my son is almost a year, I wanted to finally share all my favorite pregnancy and post baby things that I loved and couldn't live without and some I still use to this day," wrote the Forbes 30 Under 30 alum who just sold Rhode to Elf Beauty for $1 billion.

Below, check out 10 of Bieber's picks, many of which our kids and baby team love ourselves and have often written about like the Bombas Compression Socks, the Aloha Day Tripper Bag, one of our favorite wearable breast pumps and our top pick for newborn diapers. This luxe-feeling oil can be used on everything from stretch marks to scars, or even simply as a body or facial moisturizer and was recently named our best body oil for stretch marks. This safe and natural oil is a tried-and-true favorite among pregnant women, and clearly Bieber is also a fan. Amazon Momcozy M5 Hands-Free Wearable Breast Pump As a busy working mom, we get why it's essential for Bieber to find a hands-free electric breast pump she likes. The easily portable Momcozy M5 is also our pick for the best affordable wearable pumps, so you know it's good. It's easy to use, easy to clean and perhaps most importantly, ultra discreet. Amazon Naturium The Glow Getter Multi-Oil Body Butter This thick and creamy body cream filled with natural ingredients like squalane, jojoba and marula oil helps relieve the itchiness that comes with growing pregnancy skin and keeps dry postpartum skin feeling moisturized and glowy. A stretchy, soft and comfy nursing bra is a must-have for many new moms—Bieber included, who favors this Skims Nursing Sculpting Bra. Sizing and stock on this particular style is limited, so you may want to consider this newer Skims Nursing Bra model. It's no surprise that one of Bieber's favorite products comes from Rhode. The wildly popular peptide lip treatment keeps lips smooth, isn't sticky or tacky and smells divine. Made of pure 925 silver, these nickel-free nursing cups have been keeping new moms' sensitive parts from feeling chafed and irritated in those early months of breastfeeding or pumping for years. Buttery soft, light and loose, it's no surprise Bieber loves her Bumpsuit loungewear. Pair the The Cloud Slim Pant with The Cloud Cropped Tee for the ultimate chic and comfy lounge-at-home outfit, or splurge on an The Essential Cloud Set that comes with the pants, top and a robe. These can be worn during and after pregnancy. ALOHA Collection Aloha Day Tripper These ultra lightweight and easily packable Aloha bags are a lifesaver for many on-the-go busy parents. You can fold them up small enough to toss in your purse or luggage to use as a diaper bag substitute, beach bag and more. In fact, it was recently deemed one of our best beach bags for moms thanks to its endless versatility. Amazon Coterie Baby Wipes and Diapers Kit Coterie is known for being free of any potentially irritating ingredients like dyes, fragrances, latex, parabens and more while still remaining absorbent enough for overnight sleep. We selected them as one of our favorites for newborns for this reason, too. It turns out our top pick for the most stylish pregnancy compression socks is the same as Bieber's. Essential for traveling during the later months of pregnancy, these compression socks are easy to get on, offer moderate pressure to keep blood flowing and are easy on the eyes.
