When told that cast member and dancing professional Ezra Sosa has expressed wanting to be partnered with her, Alix replied, 'Oh my gosh. I met Ezra last year very briefly. He is so, so sweet and fun.

Why Eminem Is Suing Meta for $109 Million
Originally appeared on E! Online is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with a social media giant. The 'Love the Way You Lie' rapper's publishing company Eight Mile Style filed a lawsuit against Meta Platforms—which owns Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp—accusing the tech company of copyright infringement and seeking over $109 million in damages, according to court documents filed May 30 and obtained by E! News June 3. In the filing, Eminem (real name Marshall Mathers) alleges that Meta violated the copyright of 243 songs from his catalog through the 'unauthorized storage, reproduction and exploitation' of the tracks on their platforms. The lawsuit cites the apps' features, including Original Audio and Reels, as tools that 'allow and encourage its users to steal' his music to use in video content 'without proper attribution or license.' As a result, the Grammy winner is seeking monetary damages for 'the diminished value of the copyrights by Defendants' theft of them, lost profits, and Defendants' profits attributable to the infringement.' Alternatively, he asked for the maximum statutory damages, requesting $150,000 for each of the songs in question across all three of Meta's platforms, totaling a whopping $109,350,000.

The Detroit native has frequently channeled his personal life in his music, often rapping about his difficult childhood as well as his turbulent relationships with his late mother and ex-wife Kim Mathers. In fact, he previously shared that expressing himself artistically has had a positive impact on his mental health. 'One of the great things about rap music is that you could put so much of your life in it,' he explained during an appearance on Shade 45's Sway In The Morning in June 2022. 'It's therapeutic and that's how it's always been for me.' Eminem has also frequently rapped about his battle with addiction, including a 2007 drug overdose that led him to get clean the following year.

Ginger Zee slams 'fake' social media rumors that she's leaving 'GMA' and is pregnant
Ginger Zee slams 'fake' social media rumors that she's leaving 'GMA' and is pregnant Show Caption Hide Caption Ginger Zee reveals her daily essentials, from yoga to an ideal morning Ginger Zee on her daily essentials and how she spends her mornings. Ginger Zee doesn't see leaving "Good Morning America" or a third pregnancy in her forecast. The ABC News chief meteorologist took to social media Tuesday, June 3, to slam social media rumors, including one alleged report that the "GMA" fan favorite is exiting the network's morning show. "Fake profiles, false stories about me leaving my job, being pregnant and even going into war zones… this platform seems to be rapidly spiraling down… Is there a way we can make this better and get real info shared as much as the fake stuff?" the "Dancing with the Stars" alum wrote on Facebook. ABC's Ginger Zee says this part of her morning routine is 'simplistic' but so essential Zee, 44, isn't working from war zones on "GMA" and hasn't announced a third child with husband Ben Aaron with whom she shares two sons, Adrian and Miles. The "Natural Disaster" and "A Little Closer to Home" author appeared in a "GMA" promo titled "Coming Home," released June 3, as the show reaches the 50-year mark this November, signaling her staying power. The early riser recently opened up about working the wee hours in an interview for USA TODAY's The Essentials: "I can't imagine having a leisurely morning. But I take it, and I make 3:45 a.m. feel as leisurely as possible," Zee said. Zee also opened up about negative comments from online critics, saying that it "usually says a lot about who they are and what's wrong with them," adding she has "empathy for these people who are so sad, or they need to get that out. And I take it that way, and it's much easier to take when you start seeing that." In March, someone left a critical comment on an Instagram video. "You're not aging well," they wrote. "My first reaction (to the comment) was, 'Thank God, I get to get older,'" she added. "There (were) a lot of years in my 20s and teens where I was like − like a lot of other people – 'I don't even know if I'm worth it.' I'm so lucky to be alive, let alone aging. Good! Your opinion is that I'm not aging well, but the point is, I'm aging. And I really meant that. I meant that it is a privilege to be able to be aging." Contributing: Erin Jensen

Celebrity Moms Who've Opened Up About Their Plastic Surgery
By now, it's basically common knowledge that many celebrities go under the knife and needle. But while having work done isn't necessarily a rarity anymore, talking about it somehow still remains fairly taboo. However, several celebrity moms who've had plastic surgery have addressed their decision in recent years — and, in the process, are helping to break down the stigma surrounding cosmetic procedures. Because, really, what someone decides to do with their body is their choice, right? Not to mention, women shouldn't feel ashamed about embracing their personal agency, especially when it helps empower and uplift them. What's so wonderful about these celebrity moms telling their plastic surgery stories is that they highlight the realities of choosing to alter your body in this way (both positive and negative outcomes), which will help other women make their own informed decisions. Chrissy Teigen has been candid about her decision to have her breast implants removed. Jessica Simpson speaks frankly in her memoir about going for a tummy tuck after having three children because her stretch marks and loose skin made her feel self-conscious. Heidi Montag has cautioned fans against having 10 procedures in one day like she did. It all comes down to choice and, in that sense, we're partial to Cardi B's take on the topic: 'Listen, I do whatever the f— I want to do with my body.' Speak on it, Mama! So, whether you're considering having a little nip and tuck or you're just curious, keep reading to discover which Hollywood moms have copped to having work done. A version of this article was previously published in July 2020. More from SheKnows Michelle Obama, Salma Hayek & More Makeup-Free Celeb Selfies You'll Want to See Best of SheKnows 16 of the Steamiest Movie Sex Scenes With Older Women & Younger Men All the Men Marilyn Monroe Reportedly Had Relationships With Throughout Her Short Life 30 Photos of Marilyn Monroe's Too-Short Life, From 1947-1962 In an episode of The Kardashians, Kylie Jenner got candid about her plastic surgery decisions in the past. After revealing she got her breasts done when she was 19, Jenner admitted she totally regrets it. 'I wish I never got them done, to begin with,' Jenner said, per People. '[I] recommend anyone thinking about it to wait after children.' In June 2025, she revealed what she had done after a fan asked on TikTok. '445 cc, moderate profile, half under the muscle!!!!!' the Kylie Cosmetics founder wrote. 'Silicone!!! [Dr.] Garth Fisher!!! Hope this helps lol.' Dancing With the Stars pro dancer Lindsay Arnold has been open with fans about getting a breast lift and augmentation. 'My Christmas present this year is that I'm getting a breast augmentation,' Arnold said in a TikTok in December 2024. 'Guys, I'm freaking out. I'm freaking out okay, but I'm also so excited.' 'I am also getting a lift. So it's gonna be a lift and augmentation,' she explained. 'I'm very excited, but I'm not going to lie, like it is kinda scary.' By January 2025, Arnold was glowing while showing off her results on TikTok. Meghan Trainor got candid in an appearance on the Workin' on Upgrades podcast with her brother Ryan Trainor in November 2024. During their talk, Trainor talked about her plastic surgery plans. 'I'm getting a boob job because my mommy boobies were full of milk and now they're empty and then they're full of milk and now they're empty,' she said, per E! News. As a reminder, Trainor shares kids Riley, born in 2020, and Barry, born in 2023, with husband Daryl Sabara. 'They got big, they got small, they got big, they got small,' she said. 'I've lost some weight, and I have, like, saggy sacks as boobs.' 'I've always joked and said for years, like, 'I can't wait till I can get a boob job,'' she added. 'It might be new for all of our listeners but I have wanted this my whole life so I'm going to have boobies that don't look at the floor.' Talking to the Telegraph in June 2023, And Just Like That star Kristin Davis opened up about the work she's had done in the past. At first, she started with Botox to minimize the appearance of wrinkles. 'I was super-excited, I didn't have to have my lateral lines,' she said. 'But I didn't do anything else for a long time.' Later on, Davis experimented with fillers, a move that's been highly criticized on social media. 'I have done fillers and it's been good and I've done fillers and it's been bad,' she remembered. 'I've had to get them dissolved and I've been ridiculed relentlessly. And I have shed tears about it. It's very stressful.' Nowadays, Davis admitted she mostly doesn't have time to keep up with it all. 'I can't keep it up. I don't have time,' she said. 'You're trusting doctors [but] people personally blame us when it goes wrong – [as if] I jabbed a needle in my face…' While talking to Women's Health in March 2023, actress Hayden Panettiere opened up about having a breast reduction in November 2022. 'I don't think there's anything wrong with somebody who wants to tweak something if it makes them feel more confident,' she said. 'That's all I have to say about it. My confidence is back.' Plastic surgery speculation has long followed Khloé Kardashian. But she was completely unashamed and unafraid to share what type of plastic surgery she'd explored. 'Everyone says, 'Oh my gosh, she's had her third face transplant.' But I've had one nose job, [with] Dr. Raj Kanodia,' Kardashian shared during the Keeping Up With The Kardashians reunion special. Kardashian also admitted to having injections, but said she 'responded horribly to Botox.' The Real Housewives of Potomac's Dr. Wendy Osefo was so pleased with her decision to go under the knife for a breast augmentation. 'I breastfed all three of my children for over a year and that takes a toll on your body, so this is one of the first things I've ever done for myself,' she shared during the season 6 premiere, per Bravo TV. 'Being a professor and being a commentator, you are supposed to fit into a certain box, and I've always felt like I'm trapped,' she continued. 'But now, I get to be my authentic self. I'm loving it.' Kyle Richards was totally comfortable coming clean on her plastic surgery procedure back in November 2020. 'Since so many of you were speculating what I did or did not do to my face … here is your answer. I fixed my nose,' she said on her Instagram Stories, per Page Six. 'I broke it last September and the bone poking out bothered me. So I fixed the bone, fixed my breathing problems and refined the top,' the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star wrote, adding, 'I will always tell you guys the truth.' Teresa Giudice has pretty much always been an open book, and in January 2021 she opened up about her breast augmentation. 'I believe it's important to always stand strong and feel like your best most confident self. 10 Years after my first Breast Augmentation I decided to have my breasts re-done,' she began her January 2020 Instagram post, adding that she 'could not be happier with the results.' In 2020, Jessica Simpson admitted that she'd had two tummy tuck procedures after having her kids. 'I wanted to get rid of the stretch marks and loose skin left sagging from my back-to-back pregnancies,' Simpson revealed in her memoir, Open Book. 'I was so ashamed of my body at this point that I wouldn't let Eric see me without a white T-shirt on.' Chrissy Teigen removed her breast implants in 2020, telling Glamour UK that the purpose they'd served while she was modeling no longer applied. 'I did my boobs when I was about 20 years old,' she recalled. 'It was more of a swimsuit thing. I thought, if I'm going to be posing, laid on my back, I want them to be perky! But then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed.' In May 2010, Kourtney Kardashian made it clear that, yes, she's gotten breast implants. And she doesn't care who knows it. 'I have had breast implants, but it's so funny 'cause it's not a secret, I couldn't care less,' Kardashian told Nightline. Angelina Jolie's journey to plastic surgery was a little more unusual — after her preventative double mastectomy, she got her breasts reconstructed with the help of implants. 'Nine weeks later, the final surgery is completed with the reconstruction of the breasts with an implant,' she wrote in the New York Times in 2013. 'There have been many advances in this procedure in the last few years, and the results can be beautiful.' 'I wanted to get breast implants when I was 18, but my mom and Beyoncé's mom told me to really think about it first,' Kelly Rowland told Shape in 2013. 'I took their advice and waited 10 years,' Rowland continued. And in her book Whoa Baby, the mom wrote she'd be open to getting another boob job after having more kids. If you watch Keeping Up with the Kardashians, you'll know that Kris Jenner got a facelift back in 2011, just before daughter Kim's wedding. Tyra Banks admitted to People in 2018 that she'd had a nose job: 'I had bones in my nose that were growing and itching…I could breathe fine, but I added cosmetic surgery,' she said. 'I admit it! Fake hair, and I did my nose. I feel I have a responsibility to tell the truth.' Iggy Azalea confirmed to Seventeen in 2015 that she'd gotten both a nose job and breast augmentations. 'I'm not denying it. Denying it is lame,' she said. 'I don't think you should be ashamed if you made a change to yourself, which is why I've spoken about the changes I've made, like with my breasts.' Victoria Beckham told Vogue in 2017 that she regretted her decision to get breast implants, writing, 'And I should probably say, don't mess with your boobs.' 'All those years I denied it — stupid. A sign of insecurity,' she reflected. 'Just celebrate what you've got.' In 2010, Jane Fonda wrote about why she was candid about her plastic surgery on her blog: 'Bob Evans complimented me on my new, short haircut, and I said: 'Thanks. I just had some 'work' done on my chin and neck and had the bags taken away from under my eyes so I decided it would be good to get a new hair cut so people will think it's my new hair.'' Yes, Cardi B has had plastic surgery, and she's definitely not here for your opinion. 'Listen, I do whatever the f– I want to do with my body,' she said on an Instagram Live. 'Let me tell you something, b—. I don't have the time of day like you do. Like, my job as an entertainer is a 24-hour job, bro. So no, I don't have time to work out and I wanted specific things that I know that no matter how much I work out…Like my boobs, no matter how much I work out, they were not gonna lift themselves. So yeah, I had to get f— surgery.' Sharon Osbourne's memoir Unbreakable details a facelift, neck lift, vaginal rejuvenation, and more. 'There's not much I haven't had tweaked, stretched, peeled, lasered, veneered, enhanced or removed altogether,' she wrote. Jamie Lee Curtis may be a plastic surgery pro, but that doesn't mean she's a fan: 'I've done it all. I've had a little plastic surgery. I've had a little lipo,' she told The Telegraph in 2002. 'I've had a little Botox,' she continued. 'And you know what? None of it works. None of it.' Heidi Montag famously underwent 10 procedures in one day in 2010 while on The Hills, including a brow lift, nasal reconstruction, butt lift, breast augmentation, liposuction, and more. By 2013, Montag admitted she may have gone overboard. 'It just sounds so minor when you have a surgeon describing so much of it to you, like, 'OK, great, a little of this, a little of that,'' she told Us Weekly. 'You're not told the recovery time and the mental strain that it will put on you.' NeNe Leakes told People in 2010 that she'd had a nose job, liposuction, and breast implants. 'I still wanted to look like NeNe, the black woman that I am, but a better version,' she said. 'Yeah I got my nose fixed,' Courtney Love told Jimmy Kimmel on his show in 2014. 'In six months, the whole world changed.' Patricia Heaton has been totally upfront about her plastic surgery, telling People in 2003: 'It's better to be honest if you can. There is a lot in Hollywood that is not as it seems. I had four C-sections and my stomach looked like the map of the world. My breasts were hanging down to here from breastfeeding those babies, and my nipples were like platters. I wanted to fit into the gowns that I finally got to wear.' 'When I was 30, I was getting a divorce, I had just finished House Bunny and I'd sold another movie,' Anna Farris told Women's Health in 2018. 'All of these new things were happening to me, so I got my breasts done, [and] it was f— awesome.' 'I always thought plastic surgery was caving in to 'the man,' you know? But it came down to a really simple thing: I wanted to fill out a bikini,' she continued. 'I think that people should be able to do whatever they want.'
