Mandy Moore and her family fall victim to shock hit-and-run prompting livid response from actress
The 41-year-old actress and her musician husband Taylor Goldsmith have three small children, sons Gus, four, and Ozzie, two, and daughter Louise, 10 months.
Firing up her Instagram, she wrote: 'The the woman who rear ended my family and then drove off and then drove off as we pulled over, hope your karma finds you [sic].'
Reassuring fans who were worried about her and her loved ones' safety, she added: 'Thankfully everyone was ok but what kind of human does that?'
She and her family have endured a turbulent year in which their home in Altadena, California was damaged so badly by the Los Angeles fires as to be uninhabitable.
Subsequently, Mandy was criticized for promoting a GoFundMe for her in-laws who also lost a home to the blaze, as trolls noted her own rumored $14 million net worth.

As the fires ravaged Los Angeles County, Mandy shared on Instagram that the garage and guesthouse of her Altadena property had been destroyed.
'Miraculously, the main part of our house is still standing,' shared the A Walk to Remember actress. 'For now. It's not livable but mostly intact.'
Amid the spiraling crisis, Mandy also revealed that her brother-in-law Griffin Goldsmith and his wife Kit had lost their house weeks before their baby was due.
However she then came under fire online when she shared a GoFundMe set up by one of Griffin and Kit's friends to help them recover from their losses.
'Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living,' Mandy noted while plugging the crowdfunding page.
Online trolls lambasted her, wondering why she was asking others to contribute to her family inasmuch as her own net worth was speculated to be $14 million.
Mandy defiantly struck back, fuming at her critics: 'People questioning whether we're helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money Google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic.'
She insisted: 'Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and I'm sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. No one is forcing you to do anything.'

Justin Bieber's son Jack Blues makes his music video debut for Yukon as he bonds with parents in sweet footage
Justin and Hailey Bieber's baby boy Jack Blues is officially a rising star. The child, who was born in August 2024, has made his music video debut in his father's new track, Yukon. The idyllic, black-and-white video sees the new parents dote on their bundle of joy as they enjoy a sun-soaked boat trip. While the parents have yet to reveal their child's face to the public - and continue to creatively maintain his privacy in the video - they do show off his adorable baby teeth. In the video, the Baby singer, 31, is shown bonding with his child during a blissful family getaway. He showers his son with kisses as they lounge on the luxurious boat together. Hailey, 28, nuzzles Justin's bare shoulder as their infant son waddles beside their father in another sweet moment. They stop at a secluded cove, where Hailey splashes in the water with Jack in her arms. Justin and Hailey announced the arrival of Jack Blues, their first child together, in August 2024. 'WELCOME HOME JACK BLUES BIEBER,' Justin captioned a post announcing his son's arrival. The new parents tied the knot in a New York City courthouse in 2018 followed by a more lavish ceremony the following year. But the couple have been plagued by rumours of marriage trouble in recent months, with the singer sparking concerns among fans with his behaviour. While Hailey had been seen in public without her wedding ring last month, the couple appeared to be on affectionate terms when they were seen earlier this month in Switzerland. In a move certainly intended to quiet the chatter, Hailey also shows off her massive diamond engagement ring in the sweet music video. And speaking to Vogue Italia as their August 2025 cover girl, Hailey appeared to quash the rumours of a rift as she gushed over Justin being an 'extraordinary' father, 'a natural', and 'seeing her as a goddess, a superhero'. Hailey also opened up about her pregnancy with Jack, revealing it was unexpected. 'The pregnancy was hard for me to accept, it was a surprise and you have to deal with so many emotions,' she told the outlet. 'You realise that your life will never be the same again, yes, it changes in a positive way, but it will never be the same again. It was a huge challenge for me, mentally,' she added. Despite this, Hailey said that everything ends up coming together eventually and it acted as a huge teaching lesson for her as a person - and her marriage. 'Suddenly, your partner sees you as a goddess, a superhero... Or at least, that's how it was for me,' she said. Justin's bad behaviour has manifested in recent months in the form of arguing with Hailey online, acting erratically and clashing with paparazzi, a source told Page Six. The material on the latest album, which Justin released July 11, included a trio of comedy skits with comic Druski. One of the bits dubbed 'Therapy session,' in which Druski portrays a counsellor, Justin touches on the complications of living life in the limelight. 'That's been a tough thing for me recently - feeling like I have had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human, as all of us do, really publicly. 'And so people are always asking if I'm OK - and that starts to really weigh on me.' Bieber busts a move on the vessel Justin said that the attention makes him feel like he's 'the one with the issues and everyone else is perfect.' The singer sold rights to his catalogue for $200million in 2023, the Los Angeles Times reported recently. His most recent studio album prior to Swag was Justice in 2021. The album garnered critical acclaim and spawned successful commercial tracks such as Peaches, a Billboard Hot 200 chart-topper; and the top 10 hits Holy, Anyone and Ghost. In February 2023, Justin officially cancelled the remainder of his Justice World Tour after the singer said he was diagnosed with the condition Ramsay Hunt syndrome, which can lead to facial paralysis.

Rihanna trolled over bizarre maternity outfit and sneakers which carry an eye-watering price
Fans poked fun at Rihanna 's latest wild maternity look but the price tag was certainly no laughing matter. The 37-year-old hitmaker - who is rumored to be touring again - donned a head-turning outfit while out and about in Los Angeles on Monday. The Fenty mogul donned quite the pricey ensemble for the errand trip as she sported a $2,845 Spring/Summer 2001 Vintage Issey Miyake pink and orange 3D high neckline pleated dress. That wasn't the only couture she proudly displayed as she strutted her stuff in a pair of silver and lime green Puma x Ottolinger Mostro sneakers which retail for $275. Rihanna also donned plenty of gold jewelry and massive white earrings as her hair was worn down and she showcased her natural looks with complementary make-up. Some fans poked fun at her look as a Rihanna fan account @gabgonebad on X (formally Twitter) posted snaps of her to varying degrees of approval. 'What is my mom wearing.....,' one user wrote while another said: 'Not my favorite one but she's still rockin it.' One user even blasted Jahleel Weaver who is Rihanna's stylist and was creative director of her fashion house Fenty from 2019 to 2021. They wrote: 'Fire Jahleel immediately.' There were other Rihanna fans who loved the look. 'She's always on point [fire emoji],' one said while another commented: 'Ugh fluffy fashion I love it.' She is currently expecting her third child with her boyfriend, rapper ASAP Rocky, with whom she already shares sons RZA, three, and Riot, nearly two. The nine-time Grammy winner revealed her pregnancy news when she showed off her baby bump at the Met Gala back in May. Last month, she dished on motherhood as she is expecting her third baby. She told Access Hollywood that her 'two princes' RZA and Riot have a ton of energy that wear her out when she attended the Smurfs premiere in Los Angeles. She is the voice actor for Smurfette in the new animated musical-comedy film and brought along her kids for the red carpet event ahead of the movie's release. It comes just days after the singer attended her father's funeral in her native country of Barbados - after he passed away at the age of 70 on May 30 following a battle with pancreatic cancer and accompanying complications. During an interview with Extra at the Smurfs premiere, she opened up about her little ones joining her at the screening. 'I'm excited for tonight. Tonight is going to be fun. We get to watch the movie together for the first time. I get to watch it in its full completion. So, that should be interesting,' she expressed. When questioned how RZA and Riot feel about another addition to their growing family, Rihanna said they were 'delighted' followed by laughter. However, she remained coy when asked if she was possibly going to welcome a baby girl. 'You'll have to wait and see,' the Love On The Brain hitmaker said, but later said that she has 'always wanted a girl.' And then when asked if the name of her third child could also start with the letter 'R,' Rihanna replied, 'I mean, of course. It's tradition at this point.' Meanwhile, Rocky appeared to accidentally reveal the gender of their third child while attending the world premiere of her film Smurfs held at Mont des Arts in Brussels, Belgium. When ET 's Kevin Frazier asked the 36-year-old rapper 'Is that the girl you've been waiting for' he immediately replied: 'It is, man, it is.' Feeling cornered, A$AP (born Rakim Athelaston Mayers) then held up a plush Smurfette doll and redirected: 'Right here, you know what I'm saying? Right here.' The star's appearance at the screening this weekend comes after she flew to Barbados to attend her father Ronald Fenty's funeral which was held in Barbados. A source

Meghan Markle's PR guru Ashley Hansen makes shock career move
Meghan Markle 's former global press secretary has found herself a new celebrity client. Ashley Hansen, who stepped down as the Head of Communications for Meghan's Archewell last year, now appears to be representing Real Housewives of Orange County star Katie Ginella. Ginella announced their partnership on social media last month, writing, 'Adding another member to team Ginella. Let me introduce you to Ashley Hansen.' Much like Meghan before her, Ginella is currently dealing with a serious PR crisis. On the latest season of RHOC, the 41-year-old has found herself on the outs with all of her castmates after being accused of repeatedly lying. She was also accused of colluding with Bravo bloggers to 'leak stories' about her castmates, which she said on an episode of Watch What Happens Live was 'not true'. She also denied calling blogger Christina Huber aka The Bravo Babe, but Huber later produced screenshots of their call log to prove otherwise. Additionally, Ginella was exposed for secretly recording co-star Shannon Beador at a photoshoot and then playing the recording for two other women on the show. Ginella admitted to secretly recording Beador, and then said that she had played the recording to Alexis Bellino and Jen Pedranti. However, she later walked back the admission and said that she had only played it for her husband Matt, leaving some viewers confused over what actually happened. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, Ginella defended herself by claiming that her castmates were 'looking for anything to point out that I've done wrong' because she was 'so well received' by fans of the show during her rookie season last year. In another interview with Page Six this week, Ginella accused two of her castmates, Jen Pedranti and Gretchen Rossi, of sharing a racially 'inappropriate' video online. 'There's a very inappropriate video going around where two girls are pretending to fight, squinting their eyes and making Asian faces to Asian sounds,' she said. 'It's very hurtful and inappropriate. It's 2025 and I think we should read the room,' added Ginella, who is the first Asian-American cast member on RHOC. Rossi responded to Ginella, telling Page Six, 'The video we made was not directed at Katie and was not meant to be hateful. Once it was addressed to us that it could be taken offensively, we took it down immediately.' Hansen was previously Meghan and Prince Harry's PR chief for more than two years. She was also the Head of Communications for Archewell and oversaw the publicity for some of Markle's various projects, including her controversial Archetypes podcast. She stepped down from her role last year to launch her own PR consulting firm, Three Gate Strategies. Hansen is still advising the Duke and Duchess through her new firm, whilst providing oversight to their international communications team. Commenting on the change, Meghan said in a statement last year: 'We are so proud of Ashley, especially as a female entrepreneur. 'We look forward to having her focused expertise on our business and creative projects and her continued oversight of our communications team. 'My husband and I are excited to be alongside Ashley as she builds something extraordinarily special with her firm.' Hansen, meanwhile, said: 'I am incredibly grateful to The Duke and Duchess for their continued trust in me. Their unwavering support and belief in my new firm has been meaningful and is a testament to their leadership. 'I knew when they first hired me that they were giving me the opportunity of a lifetime and I couldn't be happier to continue working together.' Hansen reflected on her working relationship with Harry and Meghan in an interview with Dear Media earlier this year. 'There's never a day where they're not in the news,' she said. 'With most celebrities, there's an ebb and flow—a movie comes out, there's press, then it dies down. But with Meghan, it's constant. Like, presidential-level constant.' She added, 'We read everything. Twitter, Quora, Reddit—we'd monitor it all because you have to know what's out there.' The Duke and Duchess of Sussex later replaced Hansen with Meredith Maines. In a statement, Maines said: 'I'm honored to partner with Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to highlight the amazing work they are doing through Archewell, their broader business portfolio, and nonprofit work.' She was most recently employed at Lightspeed Venture Partners and previously held positions at Google, Hulu and American idol.
