Beach Boys founding member breaks silence on Brian Wilson death
Al Jardine is speaking out following the death of his longtime confidante and collaborator Brian Wilson at 82.

The talented actor made the decision to focus on being a single father after losing is wife, costume designer Ann Belsky, to breast cancer in February 1991. The couple had two children together: Rachel and Mitchell. Joining Moranis is former costar Bill Pullman who starred as Lone Starr in the original flick and newcomer Keke Palmer according to a Thursday report from Deadline. The film's original director Brooks will also be returning and will reprise his role as President Skroob. It is slated for release in theaters in 2027. The actor made the decision to focus on being a single father after losing is wife, costume designer Ann Belsky, to breast cancer in February 1991, as they are seen together at the 1990 Academy Awards The original 1987 film lampooned the sci-fi genre as it poked fun at the Star Wars franchise, primarily, in addition to other classic films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, Planet Of The Apes, and Star Trek. It was centered around the evil Dark Helmet (Moranis) and President Skroob (Brooks) as they attempt to steal the atmosphere of peaceful planet Druidia. However, they are challenged by protagonist and hero Lone Starr (Pullman) and his sidekick Barf (the late John Candy), and the Druish princess Vespa (Daphne Zuniga). His last on-camera role before his decades-long hiatus came when he completed the Honey, I Shrunk The Kids trilogy with straight-to-video sequel Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves in 1997. Despite taking a step back from the spotlight, he never retired from the industry as he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2015: 'I took a break, which turned into a longer break. 'But I'm interested in anything that I would find interesting. I still get the occasional query about a film or television role and as soon as one comes along that piques my interest.' He was offered a cameo in the 2016 female-driven Ghostbusters reboot alongside co-stars including Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd and Sigourney Weaver but turned it down. 'I wish them well,' he told the publication. 'I hope it's terrific. But it just makes no sense to me. Why would I do just one day of shooting on something I did 30 years ago?' Other than the Spaceballs and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids franchises, Moranis had a very successful Hollywood career as he also famously starred in Ghostbusters (1984) and sequel Ghostbusters II (1989). He also starred in Frank Oz directed sci-fi film LIttle Shop Of Horrors in 1986 in addition to 1989's Parenthood and 1983's Strange Brew. Moranis also portrayed Barney Rubble in the live action The Flintstones movie in 1994 starring alongside John Goodman, Elizabeth Perkins, Rosie O'Donnell, Halle Berry, and Elizabeth Taylor. Despite his break from acting onscreen, he has since done voicework for a few animated projects including 2003 film Brother Bear and TV series The Animated Adventures Of Bob & Doug McKenzie but not appeared on camera since the Disney franchise. His original return to acting was supposed to come in the form of the aforementioned Honey, I Shrunk The Kids franchise. It was announced that he would be returning as protagonist Wayne Szalinski for a fourth film - titled Shrunk - in February 2020. Original director Joe Johnston is set to return to direct the new project as Frozen's Josh Gad is set to star as Moranis' son Nick. However, the project was put on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic and Disney+ moving away from long-form streaming content.

Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein breaks silence on shock cocaine rumors
star Lisa Hochstein has lashed out after her boyfriend Jody Glidden was falsely accused of using cocaine on the show. The baseless rumors were started by viewers on social media following this week's season seven premiere. During the episode, Jody and a friend were seen entering a bedroom in the middle of a lavish birthday party that Lisa had thrown him in their home. 'We're going for a shot and some AC,' he told a friend. 'Where's the AC?' the friend asked, before Jody responded, 'In my room. Wanna come?' The friends then went inside and shut the door behind them. The interaction caused a number of viewers on social media to speculate that 'AC' may have been a codename for something else. Some even claimed that 'AC' was referencing cocaine, with one fan account asking, 'Was A/C code for coke?!' Firing back at the untrue accusations, Lisa wrote in the comments, 'I can't believe I have to address such ridiculous rumors, but last night's RHOM episode was a gross misrepresentation of what actually happened.' She continued, 'Jody and our non-cast friends were hanging out in our primary suite and lounge area which we use as a common space with friends and family - they were not crowded in some solitary bathroom. 'Our friends did not want to be filmed, so they sought out privacy in our hangout spot. Any implication beyond that reality is completely false and upsetting. And for the record: AC = Air Conditioning - something essential in Miami!' A number of fans came to Lisa's defense, with one writing, 'The fact you have to explain yourself, I'm sorry Lisa.' Another commented, 'Don't bother replying to ignorant people. Don't waste your time. Keep living your best life.' Lisa further explained the situation in another comment. Lisa shut down the false rumors in a comment left on @therealhousewiveszone Instagram account 'His friends just didn't want to be on camera once all the drama started. The house does have central air, but production had the doors open most of the night with all the lights and equipment, so it got hot in the Miami heat,' she explained. Lisa and Jody officially confirmed their romance back in early 2023. The couple are currently starring on The Real Housewives of Miami, which just kicked off its seventh season this week. It comes after Lisa and her ex-husband Lenny Hochstein finally reached a settlement to the defamation lawsuit he filed against her in late 2023. A notice of settlement was filed on April 2, and documents obtained by show that Lenny agreed to drop his request for damages exceeding $50,000. Instead, both he and Lisa have 'amicably' agreed to pay their own legal fees. The couple shared a joint statement with about the defamation suit's settlement referencing Lisa's original claims that the 58-year-old plastic surgeon — who is known as the 'boob god' — had physical abused her, as well as his subsequently claims that the 42-year-old reality star had been abusive to him during their marriage. 'We acknowledge that the end of our marriage was a painful and highly public experience. Images posted on social media at the time led to speculation and insinuations by the media that do not reflect what occurred,' they said. 'We can jointly confirm that there was never any physical harm caused by Dr. Leonard Hochstein or Lisa Hochstein, and the media's insinuations from any photos or posts are not true. We are both excited to close this chapter, and move on and be great co-parents for our kids,' they exes concluded. In a separate statement to Lenny again denied Lisa's initial claims that he was violent toward her. 'During our divorce Lisa falsely accused me of many heinous actions. None worse than the idea that I physically abused her,' he said. 'I have never hit a woman in my life, certainly not Lisa,' the surgeon continued. 'This accusation hurt me more than all the others put together. I oppose all forms of violence, especially against women. I am glad that she chose to set the record straight.' The former couple share two children: son Logan, nine, and daughter Elle, five. As part of their divorce settlement, Lenny agreed to pay $15,000 per month in child support, which will be reduced to $10,000 per month once Logan turns 18.

Snoop Dogg reveals his family has suffered a devastating loss
Snoop Dogg revealed he was reeling from a personal tragedy on Thursday. The 53-year-old rap icon shared on Instagram that his much-loved French Bulldog Juelz had died after being with his family for nearly 11 years. 'Miss my dogg @juelzbroadus,' Snoop captioned a video slideshow featuring images of the adorable pooch throughout the years. Juelz became an essential member of his family and a perfect complement to his other French Bulldog, Frank, over their decade together. The tiny dog came into Snoop's orbit after his good friend Wiz Khalifa gave him Juelz as a birthday present in 2014, when the Gin And Juice rapper turned 43. The tragedy follows a triumph for Snoop after his longtime friend Dr. Dre helped present him with the Ultimate Icon Award at the BET Awards on Sunday, where other stars including Mariah Carey and Jamie Foxx were also honored. In another post, Snoop wrote, 'Rip @juelzbroadus 😢 thank wiz for giving him to me 🌹🕊️.' The rapper and cultural icon has had numerous dogs throughout his lifetime. In addition to Juelz and Frank, he owned the Pitbulls Lil Snoop and Mamba, as well as several other dogs and Siamese cats named Miles Davis and Frank Sinatra. But Juelz may have been his most high-profile pet, as the cute pooch boasted his own Instagram account for years. Shortly after receiving the Frenchie, Snoop began documenting ever cute thing he did for tens of thousands of fans. But he appears to have lost interest in the account in recent years, and the last post was from June of 2021. In his memorial slideshow, Snoop featured photos of Juelz going all the way back to when he was just a puppy. The hitmaker, who was clearly in love with the sweet pooch, was also joined by Wiz in some of the photos. Snoop previously found himself in the news due a scary incident with one of his other dogs. In January 2022, his Frenchie Frank went missing in LA, but a couple found him and reunited them just days later Snoop previously found himself in the news due a scary incident with one of his other dogs. In January 2022, his other Frenchie Frank left his family devastated when he went missing. Snoop alerted his fans on social media and posted missing signs with the location in Los Angeles that his dog was last seen before escaping. Tragedy was averted days later when he revealed that a couple in the area had found Frank and facilitated their reunion. He was so grateful to the 'lovely couple' for finding his dog that he promised some 'gifts' were on the way for them. Snoop has also combined his love of dogs and his friendship with Martha Stewart when the two joined forces to host — and even coach — multiple installments of the Puppy Bowl in recent years.
