Tom Cruise & Ana de Armas Prove They're Done Hiding Their Relationship With Some Bold PDA
'Tom Cruise's love affairs are doomed. There is a honeymoon period with a lot of generosity and dazzling moments, and then reality sets in,' she said. 'Scientology is very bait and switch. It starts off OK, especially when you're the girlfriend of a superstar like Tom Cruise. But then you get to the higher, confidential levels and you find out things like you have 400,000 spirits attached to you and you have to spend the next 30 to 40 years peeling them off.'
Cruise's exes Mimi Rogers, Nicole Kidman, and Katie Holmes have reportedly spoken about their disdain for the Church of Scientology, and Kidman and Holmes left the Church after their divorces.
Plus, Armas has allegedly grown up in a devout Catholic family, so insiders are worried about if this will make or break their romance. In fact, earlier this year, insiders told the Daily Mail, there's one thing they can't quite outmaneuver: religion. 'Ana was raised Catholic and her family are religious,' a source said. 'She knows that her family would not accept Tom because of his beliefs. Ana and Tom have discussed this. His Scientologist beliefs are not a deal breaker for Ana. She is her own woman. And honestly, no one would be surprised if she took up Scientology'
For those who don't know, Cruise was first spotted with de Armas on Valentine's Day 2025 by Daily Mail. Given the timing, fans were quick to assume that they had a romantic connection. By May, sources confirmed their relationship. 'It's low-key, still new and in the early stages,' a source told Us Weekly. 'Their romance is definitely on the down low.'
As of July 29, they made their debut by holding hands on a date day out, per TMZ.

Brad Pitt's Late Mom Pictured With Angelina Jolie and Grandkids Before ‘Heartbreaking' Family Drama
Brad Pitt's mother, Jane Etta Pitt, was reportedly estranged from his children he shared with ex-wife Angelina Jolie in the years leading up to her death at 84. A resurfaced photo obtained by the Globe revealed Jane posing alongside Brad, 61, Angelina, 50, their kids, and other members of the family at a reunion that took place in Shawnee, Oklahoma, around 2009. Also pictured in the family snapshot is the Once Upon a Time…in Hollywood actor's late grandmother, Betty. Brad and Angelina began dating in 2004, and 10 years later, they tied the knot. They share six children together – Maddox, 23, Pax, 20, Zahara, 19, Shiloh, 18, and 16-year-old twins Knox and Vivienne. However, the Maleficent star filed for divorce in 2016 after an alleged incident that took place between her and Brad on an international flight from Paris to Los Angeles. Their tumultuous divorce and snowballing legal battles reportedly led to a 'heartbreaking' separation between the kids and their paternal grandparents in the years that followed, according to the Daily Mail. 'Prior to the separation, they were a part of the kids' lives and they all spent a lot of time together,' an insider revealed in 2024. 'It is just heartbreaking to see that this is no longer the case.' 'It is one thing for the kids to not see their father, but for Jane and Bill to not have any contact with their precious grandkids is sad,' the insider continued. 'They are in their 80s and to think that they would never be able to spend time with the kids again is just unbelievable.' Roughly one year later, Jane's passing was confirmed by her granddaughter, Sydney Pitt. 'We were not ready for you to go yet but knowing you are finally free to sing, dance, and paint again makes it a tad easier,' she wrote in a heartfelt tribute shared to Instagram on Tuesday, August 6. Sydney went on to fondly describe her grandmother as someone who 'cared deeply for everyone' and had the 'biggest heart.' 'She could keep up with all 14 of us grandkids without missing a beat. There was no limit to the love she gave, and everyone who met her felt it,' she said. 'I don't know how we move forward without her. But I know she's still here in every brushstroke, every kind gesture, every hummingbird. She was love in its purest form.' Solve the daily Crossword

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber's Son in the 'Yukon' Music Video
Justin Bieber's new album, SWAG, is pretty much an ode to his craft, his wife Hailey Bieber, and their 11-month-old son, Jack Blues Bieber. After dropping his highly-anticipated follow-up to 2021's Justice, Beliebers hoped that a music video was in the pipeline as well. Now, his latest visual for 'Yukon' is officially here, and it's a stunning black-and-white dreamscape of his family on the coasts of Spain and Italy. Directed by Cole Bennett and printed on 16mm film, the music video features sweet shots of Justin, Hailey, and their baby boy enjoying a chill family vacation. While their son's face remains hidden, the Biebers seem to be basking in postpartum bliss as Hailey carries him in the ocean and Justin blows raspberries on his belly. The new parents also plant plenty of kisses on their son's head and itty bitty toes. There are also shots of Justin and Hailey kissing, caressing, and dancing on a boat. They couldn't look more in love if they tried: The visual comes after a source told the Daily Mail that the couple is open to expanding their family in the future under certain conditions. 'Hailey wants to have a second child with Justin as long as they can step back from the public eye a little bit. She loves working on her company and modeling, but she feels she would need some time away from the madness so she could be truly zen with it all and really enjoy the pregnancy,' the insider said. They added, 'She will travel for work because she likes being a 'top dog' in the modeling world, but if she is pregnant again, she will want to do her shoots closer to home. That's pretty normal for any woman; no one wants to jet-set all over the globe with a baby bump and a stroller.' The insider also confirmed that Justin is an amazing father to Jack Blues, adding, 'While he might appear out of step at times, the truth is he's quite down-to-earth and cherishes being a dad.' The proof is in J.B.'s full music video for 'Yukon,' which you can marvel at below.

Author Behind Prince Andrew Tell‑All Said to Be Holding Back ‘Explosive' Stories for Second Project (Exclusive)
Unfortunately for the royal family, more of their secrets may soon come to light, according to a source. While the recent excerpt from royal biographer Andrew Lownie's tell‑all, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York — published by the Daily Mail — delivered plenty of bombshells, a source tells the Examiner that it's only part of the story. 'The word is that the author held a lot of explosive details and stories back from publication, possibly for a second volume, but more likely to form the basis for an explosive documentary or even a movie,' the source reveals. 'There's just so much intrigue and marketability in Prince Andrew's story, in Hollywood and all over the world — and a lot of people are now coming out of the woodwork to cash in and share their own experiences.' The source says that 'the biggest problem for the royals' is the 65-year-old Duke of York's past reputation for being 'very loose-lipped.' 'He confided a lot of secrets to his party buddies about the inner workings of the Palace,' the source claims, 'as well as scandalous details about feuds inside the Firm and the true story about his own explosive falling out with King Charles many years ago.' In the Daily Mail excerpt of Entitled, Lownie details a 'heated argument' between Andrew and his nephew, Prince Harry, at a 'family gathering in 2013,' that allegedly got physical. 'Punches were thrown over something Andrew said behind Harry's back. According to a source close to both men, Harry told him he was a coward not to say it to his face,' Lownie wrote. 'Harry got the better of Andrew by all accounts, leaving him with a bloody nose before the fight was broken up.' Lownie also alleged in the excerpt that Andrew disapproved of the Duke of Sussex, 40, marrying Meghan Markle. 'He openly accused Meghan of being an opportunist and thought she was too old for Harry, adding that his nephew was making the biggest mistake ever,' Lownie penned. Harry denied both the claims, with his rep releasing a strongly worded statement to People: I can confirm neither of those things are true. Prince Harry and Prince Andrew have never had a physical fight, nor did Prince Andrew ever make those comments about the Duchess of Sussex to Prince Harry.' His team added that legal action is underway: 'Such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks made in the Daily Mail's story, I can confirm a legal letter from Prince Harry's counsel has been sent to the Mail.' Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York will hit shelves on August 14. Solve the daily Crossword
