Disturbing footage of star's son at Hollywood hotspot
Singer Cher's adult son Elijah Blue Allman has been spotted in worrying footage, appearing disorientated outside the exclusive Hollywood hotel Chateau Marmont.
The dishevelled musician could be seen in standing unsteadily against a wall outside the hotel, his clothes tattered and stained as he stared off vacantly.
Allman, 48, is the son of Cher and the late rock star Greg Allman, who died in 2017.
In recent years, his fractious relationship with his mother has made headlines as Cher attempted to gain conservatorship over her troubled son's affairs, including his finances.
Cher applied in 2023 for a conservatorship because she claimed Mr Allman could not properly take care of himself or 'manage his own financial resources' because of his alleged struggles with drug abuse.
'Any funds distributed to Elijah will immediately be spent on drugs, leaving Elijah with no assets to provide for himself, and putting Elijah's life at risk,' she wrote in documents proposing the conservatorship.
But Cher, who turns 79 this month, ended her attempts to gain control of her son's finances in September last year.
'The team successfully defended Elijah, resulting in Cher voluntarily dismissing her petition,' Mr Allman's lawyers told People magazine of the court outcome last September.
'This outcome allows the parties to focus on healing and rebuilding their family bond, a process that began during mediation and continues today.'
Cher's lawyers had previously stated that her son's 'current mental and physical health issues' leave him 'unable to form or express a preference' concerning the appointment of a conservator for his estate.
Cher also claimed that Mr Allman's estranged wife, Marieangela King, had been a destructive presence in her son's life and is actively working against her efforts to give her son the help he needs with his addiction issues.
However, in a response to his mothers' application, Mr Allman said while he had indeed 'struggled with addiction and spent money in ways that have not always been the most responsible,' he was now 'clean and sober'.

Miley Cyrus jokes about ex-husband Liam Hemsworth ‘catching strays' after savage dig
Miley Cyrus made a rare comment about ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. While breaking down every stage of her music career on the Every Single Album podcast on Thursday, Cyrus joked about the actor 'catching strays', reports Page Six. Hemsworth came up when the singer, 32, looked back on 'really enjoy[ing]' filming The Last Song in 2009 alongside him and 'really want[ing] to hang out' every weekend. 'That's where I met Liam, who I would go on to marry and write a tonne of — or, most of — my songs about,' Cyrus said. 'Talk about catching strays,' she added, referring to a slang phrase that means to unintentionally receive criticism. The joke referenced a previous admission the former Disney Channel star made in the podcast episode about her ex-boyfriend Nick Jonas. Cyrus noted that after their on-again, off-again romance ended in 2009, she saw the Jonas Brothers member, 32, as a 'd**k' and 'a**hole' who 'dumped' her. 'He's still catching strays,' the Hannah Montana alum quipped. However, she clarified to listeners that she 'like[s] Nick' and is 'into him,' saying, 'We're all moving on. Everything is good. … Niley for life.' Cyrus, however, did not open up about where she and Hemsworth, 35, stand now. The former couple started dating in 2010, breaking up multiple times before getting engaged in 2012. The duo tied the knot in December 2018, only to call it quits before their first anniversary. Cyrus and Hemsworth have since moved on, respectively, with singer Maxx Morando and model Gabriella Brooks. While the exes rarely discuss their relationship, the Grammy winner sparked speculation Hemsworth cheated on her with the Muddy Feet song off her Endless Summer Vacation album in 2023. 'And you smell like perfume that I didn't purchase / Now I know why you've been closing the curtains / Get the f**k out of my house,' she sings on the track. She also addressed their failed marriage in Flowers. 'We were right / 'Til we weren't / Built a home and watched it burn,' the lyrics read, referencing the 2018 wildfire that destroyed their Malibu, California, house. While Cyrus was believed to have shaded Hemsworth — and his Hunger Games co-star Jennifer Lawrence — in the song's music video with a gold Katniss Everdeen-esque dress, she recently denied this. She, did however, savagely shade her ex earlier this week. While autographing a vinyl for a fan sharing Hemsworth's moniker on Wednesday, Cyrus cheekily addressed the signature to 'the best Liam.'

And Just Like That moment that ‘shocked' Sarah Jessica Parker
Che Diaz has officially left the chat — and not everyone is sad about it. As And Just Like That season three kicks off, longtime Sex and the City fans have noticed one major absence: Sara Ramirez's Che Diaz, the non-binary stand-up comic who had a high-profile romance with Miranda Hobbes (Cynthia Nixon) in the show's first two seasons. Che was one of the reboot's most divisive characters, sparking thinkpieces, memes, and heated debates. Critics often slammed the character as a clunky attempt at queerness, calling Che a 'caricature' and a symbol of the show's occasionally awkward efforts to modernise. Now, series star and executive producer Sarah Jessica Parker is addressing the controversy for the first time — and she admits the backlash caught her completely off guard. 'A friend of mine brought it up to me, and it's like: 'What are you talking about?' And he said: 'Yeah, there's all this conversation,'' Parker told The Guardian in a new interview. 'I've been an actor for 50 years, and I've almost never paid attention to peripheral chatter. I loved working with them.' Parker also reflected on her own character Carrie Bradshaw and the way audiences have responded to her over the years — especially in comparison to beloved TV 'bad boys' like Tony Soprano. 'I prefer that to any other description of her, because it allows her to be as male as the men have been. I love The Sopranos so much, and I look at all the times [Tony] was unlawful, and we loved him. Carrie has an affair and everybody falls apart,' she said. 'An antihero, to me, is somebody that's not behaving in conventional ways, and she hasn't ever … A lot of people love her too, though!' Sex and the City ran for six seasons from 1998 to 2004 and spawned two feature films. And Just Like That premiered in 2021 and is currently streaming its third season.

NEWS OF THE WEEK: Kanye West ‘dreams' of apologising to Jay-Z
The controversial artist took to X to say that he often thinks about making amends. "All my dreams have been about apologising to Jay-Z.' The Chicago rapper and producer went on a rant about his mentor's kids earlier this year, insinuating that Jay and his wife Beyoncé's young twins, Rumi and Sir Carter, have mental disabilities. "Wait, has anyone ever seen Jay-Z and Beyonce's younger kids?" he wrote in a post. "No, like, literally, and this is why artificial insemination is such a blessing."
