1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton ENGAGED two months after going public with girlfriend
1000-lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton has revealed her engagement to Andrea Dalton just two months after the couple went public.
Tammy, 38 - whose sister Amy, 37, announced she was engaged only last month - let the news slip during an appearance the Creative Chaos podcast on Tuesday.
Speaking about how her and Andrea like to spend time together, Tammy said: 'Me and my fiancee, we just kind of chill at home.'
The revelation prompted a shocked response from host Hunter Ezell who said: 'Hold on, you said fiancee?', before the television star showed off her shiny new engagement ring.
Tammy was also proudly wearing an 'Andrea' necklace and later revealed that her and her love interest have been together for 'around three years'.
It comes just a couple of months after Tammy made public that she was in a relationship with a woman.
Admitting that she hadn't told her family because 'they'd have something to say about it', the reality TV star said: 'Amy's not the only one that's seeing somebody new. So have I....
'I have been seeing someone for the past couple months and it's going pretty well.'
She added: 'The person I'm dating is a woman. So I haven't told my family because my family's gonna have something to say about it.
'I think my family probably has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.'
After hearing the news during an episode of 1000-lb Sisters however, Tammy's mother voiced her support for her daughter and said: 'If Andrea genuinely cares for Tammy and makes her happy, then I'll be happy with her.'
Tammy and Andrea, who both live in Kentucky, met on a dating app and have 'talked every day since'.
Over the past few years Tammy has undergone an incredible weight loss transformation, shredding almost 400lbs.
The Kentucky-born star weighed in at 605lbs back in 2019, but in Tuesday's episode of 1000-lb Sisters it was revealed that Tammy now weighs around 250lbs.
After stepping on the scales Tammy admitted she was 'in shock' after seeing how low the number on the scale had dropped.
Back in April, she shared that she had lost 500lbs after being at her highest weight of 725lbs on the season seven premiere of the TLC show.
She said: 'When I was at my heaviest, I was 700 plus lbs. Right now, I'm weighing in at 238. Everybody keeps telling me I'm looking smaller than Amy. That's kind of hard to believe.'
Amy spoke about her fiancee's proposal during a recent episode of their show and said: 'Originally, he slipped a green apple Ring Pop on my finger while I was asleep, about two weeks into our relationship.
'I was shocked at first, and I said yes but only if the real proposal was in a haunted house on Halloween.'
Just five months after they began dating, Brian made that proposal a reality as he got down on one knee with a gothic ring.
Recalling the proposal, Amy said: 'He said something about, "my love for you is crazy, it's scary how compatible we are".
'Just like our matching tattoos say, "scary love".'
News of her sister Tammy's engagement comes two years after her husband Caleb Willingham died of an unknown cause at the age of 40.
In an interview after his passing Tammy revealed in an interview that she no longer had an interest in dating men.
Tammy continued: 'A few years ago I came out as pansexual but after Caleb passing, I just don't want to be with men anymore.
'I don't know how my family's going to react when I tell them I'm seeing a woman.'
Last year Tammy opened up about the moment she found out that Caleb had passed away.
During an interview with People, Tammy revealed a friend of his told her over text message that Caleb wasn't doing well - before he informed her just 20 minutes later that he had died.
At the time, Tammy was at her home in Kentucky and Caleb was at a Ohio rehab facility she had previously been at with him.
Speaking to People, she said: 'I was sitting in the fetal position.
'I got a text message from his friend up there and the text said, "Caleb's not doing good. They're in there working on him." 20 minutes later he texted me back and said he was gone.'
The TLC star also said she had been 'doing fairly well' getting through the tragedy, and had even made a ring and musical note-shaped necklace with the ashes of her late husband.
Tammy said she had grown attached to the jewelry and finds comfort knowing a piece of him remains with her.
She added: 'He's going to live on now forever because his memory is encapsulated.
'Knowing that he's with me, it's helping me pass the day. I find myself grabbing my necklace and holding it a lot. When I take off my jewelry, I feel like it's weird, separation anxiety. I start panicking.'
Watching Caleb on their show has also provided her with some joy, she continued: 'Every time I miss him, I can always look back at the show and watch it and see what made me happy again.'

'Rust' crew settles lawsuit against film producers and Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting
A settlement has been reached in the civil lawsuit alleging negligence in the fatal shooting of a cinematographer on the set of the Western movie 'Rust', according to court documents released Friday. The lawsuit was brought by three 'Rust' crew members seeking compensation for emotional distress from producers of ' Rust," including Alec Baldwin as co-producer and lead actor. The civil suit accused producers of failing to follow industry safety rules — allegations they denied. Terms of the settlement were not available. Attorneys for 'Rust' producers and the plaintiffs could not immediately be reached by phone or email. Plaintiffs to the lawsuit included Ross Addiego, a front-line crew member who witnessed at close range the fatal shooting of Halyna Hutchins at close during a rehearsal on October 2021 on a filmset ranch on the outskirts of Santa Fe. A charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin was dismissed at trial last year on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. Separately, 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and completed an 18-month sentence in May. Prosecutors accused Gutierrez-Reed of unwittingly bringing live ammunition on set and failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. Baldwin was pointing a gun at Hutchins during a rehearsal on a movie set outside Santa Fe when the revolver went off, killing Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza. Addiego testified at Gutierrez-Reed's trial and appeared before the grand jury that indicted Baldwin. The filming of 'Rust' was completed in Montana. The Western was released in theaters in May.

How trendsetting Brit Anna Wintour became fashion's ultimate force at Vogue – with NO ONE safe from her sharp tongue
SHE came, she saw the fashion world from behind her Chanel sunglasses, she conquered. After 37 years as the formidable force on US Vogue, Anna Wintour is stepping aside as Editor-in-Chief. 6 6 The move marks the end of an era, in which the UK-born power player ruled the fashion industry with a perfectly manicured fist. One flick of her hair or glance and your fate was sealed. Dame Anna, honoured by Queen Elizabeth II in 2017 in full Chanel couture, turned unknown models into stars, transformed 'trashy' celebs into tastemakers, and set trends the high street copied. Her signature razor-sharp bob — which she has had since the age of 14 — needs two daily blow-dries (morning and evening) and near-constant trims. Her attitude is equally polished — and feared. Nicknamed Nuclear Wintour for her icy reputation, she remains fashion's most enigmatic personality. The documentary The September Issue offered a rare peek inside Vogue's Manolo Blahnik-strewn corridors, capturing the chaos of assembling an 840-page edition of the magazine in 2007. Debuting in 2009 at Sundance and grossing around £7million, the film cemented Anna's status as the ultimate force in fashion. Surrounded by 'thin, rich and young' people Her frosty persona inspired The Devil Wears Prada's Miranda Priestly — Meryl Streep's pursed lips and cutting glares were taken straight from the Wintour playbook — and even The Incredibles' eccentric designer Edna Mode was modelled on her. But inside Vogue, Anna's power wasn't a scowl or stare. It was a yellow Post-it note stuck to the bottom of a printout, bearing the a seal of approval 'AWOK' — Anna Wintour OK — which could make or break careers. One star Anna truly legitimised was Kim Kardashian. When she boldly put Kim and then-fiance Kanye West on Vogue's cover in 2014, the fashion elite gasped. Anna Wintour finally sets record straight on Met Gala outfit rule rumor after years of speculation Her response? 'If we only put tasteful people on the cover, no one would talk about us.' Anna also championed other stars — giving Kendall Jenner strong Vogue backing and helping her break into high fashion. She championed Gisele Bundchen in the late 1990s and early 2000s, featuring her on many Vogue covers, and Kate Upton's debut on the front of the magazine in 2013 signalled a shift toward embracing curvier models in the industry. Infamously private, Anna Wintour's influence is impossible to ignore. The Devil Wears Prada even became a musical — proof of her cultural reach. At 75, she kept Vogue not just relevant, but reigning as fashion and culture's ultimate authority. From supermodel golden eras to today's social media trends, Anna transformed the title from a magazine into a global style empire. Every May, she breaks the internet with the Met Gala — her annual, star-studded spectacle where celebrities stun in jaw-dropping looks. What was once a low-key fundraiser transformed under her reign into fashion's most exclusive, over-the-top, meme-worthy night. 6 6 Starting in 2004, Anna harnessed showbiz glamour to skyrocket the event into global fame. Today, from TikTokers to A-listers, the guest list is fiercely selective — just 30 seconds of fame on a bright red carpet holds massive cultural weight. While Anna wields immense power over designer brands and celebrities, she has also had a huge impact on the high street. From her very first Vogue cover mixing budget jeans with couture, she has championed accessible fashion for all. Anna has been key in shaping runway trends that trickle down to high street retailers. In 2009, she launched Fashion's Night Out, turning shopping into a celebrity- studded, cocktail-fuelled event in New York and London, raising funds for causes such as the NYC AIDS Fund and September 11 Memorial until the event ended in 2013. But Anna did not just dip into retail — she transformed the high-street experience. By blending celebrity appeal, charity and immersive theatre, she redefined how brands engage with shoppers. She was a fixture at Topshop's London Fashion Week shows and has long championed luxury-meets-store collaborations — think Balmain x H&M — bringing runway glamour to the masses and giving the UK high street a major boost. FASHION QUEEN In an interview with The Times last year, Anna tipped her hat to Gap for snapping up designer Zac Posen and gave props to Uniqlo for working with Givenchy's former artistic director Clare Waight Keller, who had designed Meghan Markle's wedding dress. The fashion queen said: 'These big mass companies have finally clocked the power of creativity. You wouldn't have seen that ten, 15, even 20 years ago.' Anna has two children — Charles, a psychiatrist born in 1985, and TV producer Katherine, known as Bee, who she had in 1987. Their father is child psychiatrist David Shaffer, who Anna was married to from 1984 to 2020. She is reportedly romantically linked to actor Bill Nighy, though they describe themselves as close friends. Still, in Wintour's world, loyalty can be as fleeting as fashion trends. 6 6 Her decades-long friendship with the late Andre Leon Talley — once her trusted right-hand at Vogue — ended bitterly after he was pushed aside. In his 2020 memoir The Chiffon Trenches, Talley claimed she preferred to surround herself with 'thin, rich, and young' people. Ouch. Top designers haven't escaped her icy glare either. After various scandals, names such as John Galliano and Dolce & Gabbana were swiftly frozen out of Vogue's world — proving that even fashion royalty are not safe from her. Yet despite the many ups and downs, one thing is certainly true. Anna Wintour is a force, a legend and one hell of a woman whose influence stretches far beyond the pages of Vogue. She will now focus on her roles as Global Editorial Director and Chief Content Officer at the magazine's publisher Condé Nast. Whoever is picked to take over her old job better be able to fill her Manolo Blahnik pumps.

BREAKING NEWS Adult film star Kylie Paige dead at 28
Adult film star Kylie Paige died at the age of 28 from unknown causes. Brazzers, a pornography site, confirmed the young woman's death, writing: 'The Brazzers team is deeply saddened to learn of Kylie Page's passing. 'Kylie will be remembered for her laughter, kindness and bringing light wherever she went.' Paige's cause of death is currently unknown. She died in Los Angeles. Paige has done more than 200 sex scenes since debuting in 2016. Fellow performer and friend, Leah Gotti, told AVN that she remembers her friend as an 'infectious person' who had a 'really light and bright' personality. 'He just loved to smile, laugh, and really valued living life to the fullest and being free as much as possible,' she said. The pair started out in the same modeling house when they were 18 before moving into the adult film industry. Her talent agency, Hussie Models, also gave a tribute to the star, saying: 'Losing Kylie is truly heartbreaking.' 'She was a kind soul, a wonderful friend, and always brought warmth and energy wherever she went. That's exactly how I'll always remember her, full of life and kindness,' spokesperson Alex Mack said.

He worked for many of the industry's biggest studios during his career, including Raging Stallion and Men. Stone pulled back from mainstream porn in 2020 to focus on bodybuilding and his OnlyFans account. He eventually became a three-time bodybuilding champion in Pennsylvania, where he lived after moving to the US from Moldova.
