Former talk show queen Ricki Lake debuts facelift live on TV
Ricki Lake is loving her new look. The actress debuted her recent facelift on US talk show Watch What Happens Live this week after host Andy Cohen complimented her appearance. 'I'll reveal this to you,' the Hairspray star, 56, said. 'I've had a lower face and neck lift.' When Cohen, 57, gushed over how 'good' Lake looked, she thanked him and said, 'I kind of think it's the best facelift I've ever seen.' She went on to give her 'genius' Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Allen Foulad, a shoutout. 'I've sent many people to them,' Lake added, which led Cohen to quip that he would be 'heading to LA for this' himself. He joked, 'I've seen a lot of work in these chairs. That's really good.' Lake agreed that 'you can't see nothing,' pulling back her hair to better display the results to viewers. 'It's amazing,' she continued. 'I'm fully transparent, always have been. This is something that was bothering me. I lost a lot of weight and I had this thing hanging and I had it fixed.' Lake, notably, revealed last year that she and her husband, Ross Burningham, had each lost more than 12kg — and did not use Ozempic to do so. 'We did this without relying on a pharmaceutical. (Not that there is anything wrong with that),' she told her Instagram followers in February 2024. The 'proud' former talk show host felt 'strong' after slimming down from 75 to 63 pounds in just four months. On Thursday, the Daytime Emmy winner also dished about her hair transformation after shaving her head in 2019. Lake recalled, 'Then I let it go and never coloured my hair again, and my hair grew back.' Lake's plastic surgery reveal comes on the heels of Kylie Jenner sharing her breast augmentation specs in May — and multiple celebrities following suit. Kristin Cavallari and Sami Sheen shared their own numbers earlier this month. Kris Jenner also made headlines for announcing via Instagram that she went to Kylie's surgeon, Dr. Garth Fisher, for her first facelift in 2011. Social media users — and Kim Kardashian — have been raving over the 69-year-old matriarch's latest facelift in recent months.

Star's wife livestreams dramatic arrest days after split
Days after announcing her split from actor Scott Wolf, the former Party of Five star's estranged wife Kelley was admitted to a Utah hospital. 'Deputies responded to the Sundance Resort for a report of a female that needed some help,' local law enforcement told People in a June 13 statement. 'Upon speaking with the female, our Deputies learned that she had made concerning comments to a family member, and she also made similar comments to our Deputies. For that reason, our Deputies transported the female to a local hospital.' A spokesperson for the Utah County Sheriffs Office confirmed to the outlet that Kelley, 48, was handcuffed 'just for their protection and our protection as law enforcement as well.' Kelley shared an audio/video clip of a tense exchange with Utah police on Saturday via a previously broadcast Instagram Live. 'Oh my God, this is not happening,' Kelley's voice can be heard against a black screen, adding that she'll 'go on my own.' Kelley is then heard being handcuffed. 'This is shameful, gentlemen,' Kelley exclaimed. 'Look at this woman, this is shameful. Be ashamed, be ashamed of yourselves, gentlemen.' An officer then explained to her that she would not be going to jail and that they were trying to get her 'help.' 'I know what I'm doing, I've done this,' she said. 'This is my job.' 'You've made some comments to your dad, and some comments to people that are concerning,' an officer's voice responded. He added that they 'want to make sure you're okay.' 'I didn't mean to. I think Scott Wolf is abusing me, and now you are abusing me more,' Kelley said during the encounter, though it's unclear what she meant by 'abusing.' A handcuffed Kelley and the officers were briefly visible in the last part of the video, during which she asked them to turn off her phone camera and stop the recording. Via Instagram Stories, she subsequently shared a photo of what appeared to be her purse and a ball cap in a hospital room. 'This is horrible,' she wrote over the photo. 'I have been taken against my will. Please check on my kids.' Kelley continued, 'Also … I am happy!! Happier than I have ever been. I have NO idea why or how this is happening in AMERICA. I am compliant, calm and respectful, and hopefully this is all sorted very quickly. In the meantime, be kind to each other. This is one of the darkest things I've ever experienced.' Page Six reached out to a rep for Scott, but did not receive an immediate response. On Tuesday, Kelley, who married Scott in 2004 and subsequently welcomed three children with him, took to Instagram to announce their split after two decades of marriage. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' she wrote alongside an image of a lion with three eagles flying overhead. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children,' she continued. 'While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' She then addressed Scott, calling him 'one of the best fathers I've ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with. He is kind, thoughtful, funny, and beautiful in spirit. We both look forward to an extraordinary life centred around the most extraordinary children.' Scott, who filed for divorce in Utah on Monday, also released a statement. 'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he told People in a statement on Wednesday. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.' The estranged couple share children Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11.

Hugh Jackman struggles to sell tickets to his one-man show after messy split
Hugh Jackman is reportedly struggling to sell tickets to his one-man show just days before he's due to take to the stage. The Australian star is returning to New York next week with his concert show Hugh Jackman: From New York, With Love. However, there's some bad news for the performer, as there's still hundreds of tickets left to shift with just a week to go. To make matters even worse, some tickets for the show, from which Jackman recently shared a cryptic post seemingly pointed at his ex, are evening selling for as low $86 for Friday's performance, and $79 for Saturday. For comparison, tickets to Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band this weekend were selling for upwards of $600 and were completely sold out ahead of the show, according to Daily Mail. It might be a tough pill for Jackman to swallow, especially considering he has even more shows coming up in July and August where tickets are currently going for as cheap as $20 on StubHub. It marks the latest in a series of blows for Jackman, who recently hit headlines around the world after his ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness released a bombshell statement revealing that their split has been anything but amicable. 'My heart and compassion go out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us,' she stated. 'This belief has helped me navigate the breakdown of an almost three-decade marriage. I have gained much knowledge and wisdom through this experience. Even when we are presented with apparent adversity, it is leading us to our greatest good, our true purpose. 'It can hurt, but in the long run, returning to yourself and living within your own integrity, values and boundaries is liberation and freedom.' Meanwhile, Jackman has listed his luxurious New York City penthouse for a staggering $60 million (US$38.9 million). This decision comes shortly after he and his former spouse, Furness, agreed to divide the proceeds from the property. The couple originally acquired the opulent residence in 2008 for $32 million (US$21million). Over recent years, they opted to lease the penthouse, commanding a rental price of $19,200 (US$125,000) per month. However, following their announcement in September 2023 that their nearly three-decade-long marriage had ended, Furness filed for divorce in May 2025. On June 5, it was disclosed that the couple had initiated the division of their shared assets, including the penthouse in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood. While the Chelsea property awaits listing, Jackman and Furness are proceeding with the sale of the five-bedroom, New York City penthouse. This residence spans three floors and offers 11,000 square feet of living space. It features a dramatic double-height great room with expansive windows, a private workout studio, a luxurious sauna, and a library.
