Halle Berry Responds To Ex David Justice With Vacation Photos
It was her ex, former MLB player David Justice, who started the debate during a recent appearance on the All the Smoke podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. The two were married from 1993 to 1997, and Justice gave some insight into why the marriage only lasted a few years by citing the lack of housekeeping she did, which is pretty fair given how booked and busy she was.
'I was young, and had only been in one real relationship before her, my knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast,' he said.

Justice pointed to his roots as an explanation for what he thinks a woman's role should be, and was unaware of whether she'd be a good mother.
He continued, 'I'm looking at my mom, and I'm a Midwest guy. So in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean, you know, and then I'm thinking, 'Okay, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' And at that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem motherly—and then we start having issues.'
Social media argued for days over a more progressive view of women's household duties, and now the actress herself has popped up with a subtle jab at her ex.
She posted a bikini-clad photo to X of herself and boyfriend Van Hunt, relaxing somewhere tropical, with a caption reading, 'Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering.'
That's not it, she took her unbotheredness to Instagram with a carousel of more vacay photos of her smiling, holding an envelope with the word 'mom,' accompanied by a heart on the front, a couple of bikini shots, and her birthday cake.

Intense backlash to Matt Rife ad left makeup company ‘very surprised,' brand executive says
One executive for makeup brand e.l.f. is trying to turn down the social media temperature after her company's latest ad sparked outrage among users for starring stand-up comic Matt Rife. In an interview with the outlet 'Business of Fashion' (BOF), the beauty brand's chief marketing officer, Kory Marchisotto, spoke about what went wrong with its ad with Rife, explaining that causing outrage was never their intention. 'Obviously, we're very surprised,' she said. 'There is a big gap between our intention and how this missed the mark for some people… We always aim to deliver positivity, and this one didn't.' 'So we find ourselves in a position where, quite honestly, that doesn't feel good for us,' Marchisotto added. The cosmetics brand published the ad on major social media platforms last week. The commercial featured Rife and drag queen Heidi N Closet as ' & Schmarnes,' a spoof lawyer duo in a legal commercial fighting for consumers' rights to inexpensive cosmetic products. 4 Marchisotto said that e.l.f cosmetics was 'very surprised' from the backlash they have received. @elfcosmetics/Instagram However, the clip took major heat from online users, including several major beauty and fashion influencers, who were offended that e.l.f. would employ Rife after he joked about domestic abuse during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' In the special, the comic told the story of when he and his friend noticed a waitress with a black eye while they were eating at a restaurant in Baltimore. He explained that the two of them questioned why the restaurant owners wouldn't have the employee work in the kitchen to avoid customers asking questions. 'Yeah, but I feel like if she could cook, she wouldn't have a black eye,' Rife joked. 4 The backlash of Rife in the ad is from his previous jokes about domestic abuse. @elfcosmetics/Instagram When people reacted poorly to the joke at the time, Rife doubled down, putting out a statement that directed social media users to a link offering an 'apology' if they had ever been offended by a joke he told. The link brought users to a website where they could purchase special-needs helmets. In response to e.l.f.'s new ad last week, 'Nikkietutorials,' a cosmetics influencer with almost 9 million followers on TikTok, commented, 'aaaaaaandddd you lost me… Matt Rife out of ALL people? so disappointed.' Others trashed the video in its comment sections, too. Maddy Lucy Dann, a TikTok user with 1.4 million followers, wrote, 'In Matt Rife's Netflix stand-up special Natural Selection he opened with a domestic violence joke, implying a woman wouldn't have a black eye if she could cook.' 4 Rife made the controversial jokes during his 2023 stand-up special, 'Natural Selection.' @elfcosmetics/Instagram The beauty brand responded to the backlash, putting out a statement last Wednesday acknowledging that working with Rife was a mistake. 'You know us, we're always listening and we've heard you. This campaign aimed to humorously spotlight beauty injustice. We understand we missed the mark with people we care about in our e.l.f community,' e.l.f. stated. 4 Marchisotto said they went with Rife because 80% of his TikTok audience is female. @elfcosmetics/Instagram During her interview with BOF, Marchisotto explained why e.l.f. went with Rife for the ad campaign. She noted how 80% of Rife's TikTok audience is female, with 75% under the age of 34 – 'right in the sweet spot' of the makeup brand's target audience.

Check out more newsletters The executive added that at the time e.l.f. built its campaign around Rife, he was getting 80% positive engagement from his audience, so the brand thought it was a safe bet. 'We [are] very much known for operating in real time, that's what it means to be in the cultural zeitgeist. So we're not looking in the rearview mirror when we're operating the real-time marketing machine,' she said. Rife has yet to reply to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Toby Keith's son welcomes first baby more than a year after singer's death at 62
Toby Keith's family is growing by one more than 18 months after the singer's death. The country music star, best known for songs like 'Red Solo Cup' and 'Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue,' died on Feb. 5, 2024, following a battle with stomach cancer, according to NBC News. He was 62. On Aug. 15, Keith's son, Stelen Keith Covel, took to Instagram to announce the birth of his first baby. 'Millie is here,' Covel's wife, Haley, wrote in the caption of the joint post, which featured a photo of Millie Brooks Covel wrapped in a swaddle next to a piece of fabric with her name and initials on it. 'We love you so much little girl,' Haley added in the caption. Covel is the youngest child and only son of Keith and his wife Tricia Lucus, who were married for nearly 40 years. The couple tied the knot in 1984, at which point Keith adopted Lucus' daughter Shelley Covel Rowland, now 44, according to People. They went on to welcome their first baby together — daughter Krystal Keith, 39 — in 1985 followed by their lone son, Stelen Keith Covel, in 1997. Toby Keith's death was announced Feb. 6, 2024, in a post shared on his website and X account. 'Toby Keith passed peacefully last night on February 5, surrounded by his family,' the statement read. 'He fought his fight with grace and courage. Please respect the privacy of his family at this time.' The 'I Love This Bar' singer announced in 2022 that he was diagnosed with stomach cancer the year prior, according to NPR. With the birth of baby Millie, Toby Keith's kids now each have at least one child of their own. According to People, Keith's adopted daughter Shelley, born in 1980, shares at least one child with her husband. Meanwhile, his biological daughter Krystal — a talented singer herself — shares two daughters, Kirby and Hensley, with her husband, per NBC News. In 2023, Keith took to Instagram to share a photo of his family as they celebrated Thanksgiving together. As for Stelen Keith Covel, he and his wife, Haley, announced their pregnancy on Feb. 13 — one week after the one-year anniversary of his father's death. 'Baby Covel coming this summer,' the couple wrote in an Instagram post. Covel's jacket was unzipped just enough to reveal a picture of his dad on his undershirt.
