Kylie, 27, and Kendall, 29, raised eyebrows last weekend when they were noticeably absent from Brody and surfer Tia Blanco's Malibu nuptials.

The sisters share parent Caitlyn Jenner with former Hills star Brody, who's mom is the Olympian's ex-wife, songwriter and actress Linda Thompson. (Kendall and Kylie's mother is of course famous momager Kris Jenner.)
A source told The U.S. Sun: 'Brody personally invited Kylie and Kendall more than a few months back.
'The official line is that both girls already had other commitments, so unfortunately they were not able to attend.'
Kylie has been vacationing all over Europe, and Kendall joined her family in Venice for family friend Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos' massive wedding in late June.
The source claimed that if the sisters had wanted to, they could have easily made an appearance with just a quick flight on Kylie's private jet.
Caitlyn's ex-wives Kris and Linda have had "bad blood" for decades, the insider claimed.
'Linda is quite a character, and has a lot to say about Kris - and vice versa.
"It was fireworks for a few years, and that drama did carry through into the kids.'
Caitlyn and Linda split in 1986, and the former athlete went on to marry Kris in 1991.
Kris and Caitlyn eventually split in 2013, and Caitlyn confirmed her transition two years later.
The insider claimed Brody has never been a fan of Kris.
'He's never gotten over it, and so when the siblings were trying to build relationships, Brody would often fall back into this narrative of blaming Kris for everything."
According to the source, Kylie has firmly aligned herself with the Kardashians, while Kendall has made an effort to build bridges with the Jenner side of her family.
'Kylie has admitted to friends she just feels like a stranger in the Jenner family unit," the source eplained.
"She has nothing in common with them. She feels her place is as part of the Kardashians.'
Caitlyn did attend Brody's wedding, despite the tragedy of losing her close friend and manager Sophia Hutchins just last week in an ATV crash.
Brody's former stepsisters Kim, Khloe and Kourtney also skipped out on the festivities, though it's unclear if they were specifically invited.
Brody's childhood friend Spencer Pratt and his wife Heidi Montag were also not present at the wedding, but they had good reason to skip out.
Heidi's sister Holly got married on the same day in the family's native Colorado.
Brody didn't seem to mind the absences.
'Last night was truly something special. We had the best time celebrating our love with all of you," he wrote on Instagram.
"Thank you to everyone who came out and made it such an unforgettable night. We felt so much love and couldn't be more grateful.'

Danny Dyer: ‘Working-class people should be running the country'
Danny Dyer gets straight down to business, as he tends to. 'This is a huge year for me,' the actor says, relaxing into a large leather sofa in the East End office where he has just had his picture taken. 'The first six months have been incredibly emotional. My daughter Sunnie turned 18, so we had a big '80s-themed party. A couple of weeks after that, I won the Bafta. I didn't think I would win it. It's the first time I've been acknowledged really, so to actually win it, and win it for a comedy performance, for Mr Bigstuff, which is me going into territory I'm not known for, I was just so happy. 'And then, of course, my daughter getting married to the man of my dreams. It doesn't happen often. I'm sure there's many men who give away their daughters to arseholes. You can't choose who your kid falls in love with, but I think for the first time in history I'm more in love with him than she is.' At the end of May, Dyer's eldest daughter, Dani, 28, married Jarrod Bowen, the captain of West Ham United Football Club. For her father, an Irons fan since childhood, it was a dream come true. So how was the father of the bride's speech? 'I wanted to keep it light,' he says. 'So I said: 'Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, today's not about me, it's about this wonderful couple.' Then I go under the table and bring out my Bafta. I thought: 'Oh my God, is this narcissistic?' But the cheer it got… I needed to make people laugh, so that's what I did. The speech was written for me really because I alluded to me being more in love with him than her. Then I got us all to stand up and sing 'Bowen's on fire and he's married Dani Dyer' [an updated take on a West Ham football chant]. So yeah, it's been an amazing start to the year. Big milestones, you know what I mean?' All that and he still found the time to promote Marching Powder, written and directed by his old friend Nick Love, a surprising success at the box office. If it was always possible that Dyer would get his dues, it has not always looked likely. He has been winning over different audiences, demographic by demographic, for 30 years. There were the ravers who loved his unforgettable film debut as Moff in Human Traffic (1999), and the football fans won over by his charming hooligans in Mean Machine (2001) or The Football Factory (2004). Then there was playwright Harold Pinter, the Nobel laureate, who saw in a gifted London lad an echo of himself, and the EastEnders viewers, who were treated to nearly a decade of Dyer's Mick Carter, the landlord of the Queen Vic, a geezer with a heart of gold. Last year, however, Dyer added the upper-middle classes – and US audiences – to his list, with his show-stealing turn as Freddie Jones in the Disney+ adaptation of Jilly Cooper's 1988 Cotswolds bonkbuster Rivals. Alongside Aidan Turner and Alex Hassell, more conventional heartthrobs, it was Dyer who won viewers over with his depiction of the self-made millionaire (with a heart of gold). The Telegraph said he brought a 'surprising sweetness' to the role, in a five-star review. 'The Jilly Cooper thing opens me up to middle- and upper-class people who never would have known about me before,' Dyer says. 'Earls and lords, I've noticed they know who I am now. Not that I hang out with a lot of them.' We meet while he is midway through filming the second series of Rivals, and his upper lip is covered in Freddie Jones's distinctive moustache, a thick Tom Selleck slug of a thing. Tall and broad, in person Dyer carries himself with the assurance of someone whose charisma has commanded every room he has been in for as long as he can remember. He speaks rapidly, sentences peppered with curses and rhyming slang. 'I've paid for my wedding whistle [and flute, suit] but not my trotters [shoes],' he explains to the stylist on the Telegraph photo shoot. Sunglasses are 'bins'. As far as I can tell, everyone he meets is charmed. The second series of Mr Bigstuff is out this week. Dyer plays the hard-living Lee, who comes to stay with his mild-mannered estranged brother Glen (Ryan Sampson, who writes the series). The role allows Dyer to make the most of his natural comic timing. 'There's a lot of love on that job,' he says. 'We really worked our bollocks off to try to create something that was slightly different, a bit punky, that has real heart to it even though it's funny as f—k.' Apart from his acting, millions more know Dyer for his public persona: drug-loving, pint-swilling cockney geezer who discovered, via an episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, that he was descended from Edward III; host of documentaries about UFOs and gangsters; defensive father of Dani when she appeared as a contestant on Love Island, ultimately winning; spokesman on the perils of toxic masculinity in a Channel 4 documentary; renowned critic of David Cameron having 'his trotters up' in the wake of the Brexit vote. At times, Danny Dyer the public figure has eclipsed Danny Dyer the actor. Dyer was born in 1977 in Custom House, east London, the eldest child of Antony Dyer, a painter and decorator, and Christine, and grew up on a council estate. Danny has said his full name is misspelt 'Danial' on his birth certificate because his father had been drinking before registering his son. He has a younger brother and sister. His parents split up when he was nine, after his mother discovered that his father had another family – he has two half-sisters, one five years younger and another 10 years younger. Dyer was always 'cheeky', in his description, with a talent for making people laugh. He was encouraged to act at an early age, but money was tight; he would jump the barriers to get the Tube to a drama school he went to in Chalk Farm. It was there, during his teens, that he was spotted by an agent who put him forward for a role in Prime Suspect 3, with Helen Mirren. He met his wife, Joanne Mas, when they were both 14. They finally married in 2016, but had their first child, Dani, in 1996 when Danny was just 18. He had to juggle his acting work with being a young father. After Prime Suspect he did a typical round of bit parts in big series, including A Touch of Frost, Soldier Soldier and The Bill, before his film break as Moff, the slacker son of a policeman, in Human Traffic. The film became an instant cult hit for its unmoralising depiction of young people living for the weekend, and Dyer was its breakout star. 'There's no training on how to be famous, and how do you stay grounded and authentic to yourself? Because you become a cartoon character. I know I did.' Fame in his early 20s had two powerful effects on Dyer's life. It was after meeting him at an audition that Harold Pinter recognised a raw talent, like him a boy from the East End finding success in a world dominated by the middle classes. Pinter cast Dyer in Celebration, a new play, in 2000, and a revival of No Man's Land the following year, as well as a revival of The Homecoming in 2008. 'We had a very interesting relationship,' he says. 'He wasn't in my life long enough, but I think he's always with me somehow. I don't know what that means, but higher powers and all that. I'm not religious, but I do feel like there's something guiding us through life.' Young and famous but not rich, Dyer found himself being offered endless opportunities to behave like Moff in real life – going on the piss, getting high, living it up – which he took up enthusiastically. 'I think I was always destined to end up in rehab,' he says. 'My first film was Human Traffic, which was a huge success, and I was the most hedonistic one in it. I loved drugs at the time. People wanted to take drugs with me so I got wrapped up in it. I went along with it.' Despite Pinter's imprimatur, Dyer's subsequent work failed to hit the same heights as Human Traffic. A couple of hooligan- and gangster-themed films in the early 2000s, including The Football Factory and The Business, cemented his image as a hard-living cockney. In 2000 Jo had temporarily kicked him out, draining the bank account and denying him access to their young daughter. (In a recent interview, he said Jo 'controls everything now'.) 'I started to get offered a lot of stuff and said yes far too much to stuff I shouldn't have said yes to,' he says. 'Bad films, and of course once they come out your stock lowers. I realised that. I was known as 'DVD Danny', which was detrimental. Where do you go after that? My profile was raised enough that I could do personal appearances in nightclubs, which was a whole career back then. But that fuels the drugs and drink. I went through a period of being a DJ. It's a recipe for disaster. Your doors are closing in the acting business and you think: 'How long can I stretch this out for?' But nightclubs were closing. It just stopped, and you think: 'What the f—k am I going to do now?'' With bailiffs at his door, he was saved in 2013 by EastEnders, which gave him regular work on one of the biggest programmes in the country. He was perfect as the gruff but lovable Mick Carter. By the time he married Jo in 2016, they'd added two more children, Sunnie and Arty (now 11). Dyer's performance won him three National Television Awards, in 2015, 2016 and 2019. It was after one of these parties that he realised his substance use was out of control, when he couldn't get his jeans on in his en-suite loo. 'It was my moment of clarity,' he says. 'It's an odd story, but that was my moment of going, 'Oh God, you've got to sort your life out, you're going to die.' Of all the things that had happened, all the weird moments, that was the moment.' He checked into rehab soon after. It took another visit to stick, but he is in a good place now. 'I'm in control of my life,' he says. 'I don't do drugs any more, but I love a nice cold pint outside in a beer garden.' He has taken up meditation, too. 'We're only on this earth once. You need to experience as much stuff as you can and squeeze as much joy out of it as you can, and not beat yourself up too much. I've got a good balance at the moment. It took a long time to get there.' The success of Rivals, the Bafta for Mr Bigstuff and his increasing acceptance by the establishment has meant a flurry of high-profile interviews, including Desert Island Discs and Louis Theroux 's podcast, in which Dyer has had to revisit the more difficult moments in his life. Most memorably, for ITV's The Assembly, broadcast in April, he was addressed by neurodivergent members of the public, who asked disarmingly frank questions. 'My dad just wasn't a very good dad,' he replied to one. 'He didn't know how to do it. He told me when I wasn't allowed to hold his hand any more. I was trying to cross the road, and I went to hold his hand and he went, 'No, we don't do that any more.'' By the end of the programme, Dyer was leading a guided meditation. 'Because things have been going so well I've been doing some quite heavy [interviews],' he says now. 'My worry is always upsetting my family. I've been very open about my life and talking about stuff that is important to me, but I don't want to embarrass my dad. He's one of my best mates now, but there was a whole period when he wasn't in my life. He left me. He was a bit… he had to have a few conversations after [ The Assembly ] aired. He was proud of me, but he remembers things slightly differently to me. In his old age he's opened up a lot. He's an old-school masculine man, born in the '50s. But now we talk, we cuddle and say 'I love you' to each other.' He is equally conscious of dragging Jo back through the most difficult parts of their relationship. 'I've tried to be aware of rolling my family members into my fame because they never asked for it,' he says. 'Especially with my wife, who I've put through a lot of s—t over the years, and I'd be f—ked without her, so I'm grateful she's the person she is. She ain't no f—king wallflower, let me tell you that. She humbles me every day. I wouldn't have had the career I've had without her. She was willing to sacrifice her career to bring up children, to let me try and be an actor and fail miserably, and then get a part and get us out of trouble. Me bringing up stuff I've done in the past is not nice for her, of course it ain't.' Dyer's articulacy and frankness, together with his background, have made him a kind of de facto spokesman on subjects far beyond acting: masculinity, addiction, mental health, working-class culture, politics. Seven years ago, a clip of him speaking on Good Evening Britain, where he was a guest alongside Jeremy Corbyn, went viral after he called David Cameron a 'twat' and accused him of being 'in Nice with his trotters up' leaving others to sort out the Brexit mess. Dyer had voted for Brexit, but felt the execution was disappointing. 'I just posed the question about what it was,' he says. 'What the f—k does Brexit actually mean? We're 10 years down the line. Have we left or not?' How does he feel about Keir Starmer? 'He's a f—king non-entity. I feel sorry for the people when he goes to a factory and they put these poor people behind him and you can tell they all hate his guts. We need a leader. He's not a leader. I don't know what the f—k he is. He's only in power because the Tories were such c—ts. 'Nobody in politics is likeable,' he adds. 'Where's the working-class people? They should be running our country, not people pretending they're working class because they've had a pint in a pub.' Now that Dyer finds himself in the unexpected position of being renowned enough to get projects green-lit on his own, he would like to help other working-class actors get a leg-up. 'What's important to me now is I try to do good, classy work, and if I've got the clout, to roll in as many young working-class people and give them some opportunities. Let's audition some kids who've never auditioned before, really get the raw talent, not necessarily Rada-trained kids.' He hopes there will be a third series of Mr Bigstuff, possibly more Rivals. He is in discussions for a play about his relationship with Pinter, provisionally called When Harry Met Danny. 'I think I'd want to play Harold,' he says. 'He always wanted me to do more theatre.' He thinks Pinter would be 'very proud' to see him today. In a career full of surprises, few are greater than the fact it took a Jilly Cooper adaptation – and nearly 30 years – for the wider world to wake up to the talent in Danny Dyer that Pinter had recognised at once. 'I'm grateful that I'm still able to ply my trade,' Dyer says. 'So many people do a couple of good things and disappear off the face of the earth, but I've managed to keep going. But God, I've had my dry spells and my spells of going, 'Oh my God, I'm never going to work again.' I've made some bad decisions. But at the moment it's all coming together.' He excuses himself. It's a glorious afternoon and he fancies a couple of pints in the sunshine.

Stephen Colbert announces end date to his late-night show
Stephen Colbert, host of ' The Late Show,' has announced the program will end in May 2026. CBS has said it will retire the franchise, citing a 'financial decision'. Colbert broke the news to his studio audience during Thursday night's taping: 'I want to let you know something I found out just last night. Next year will be our last season. The network will be ending The Late Show in May.' The news of the show's cancellation was met with boos of disappointment from the audience and fans. 'Yeah! I share your feelings. It's not just the end of our show, but it's the end of the late show on CBS. I'm not being replaced. This is all just going away,' Colbert added. Paramount recently agreed to pay President Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over an interview on '60 Minutes', a move Colbert referred to as 'a big fat bribe', made to get the Trump administration's approval for a merger.
