Dave Grohl performs Foo Fighters songs at Coachella for first time since affair and baby drama
The singer-guitarist delivered orchestral renditions of Foo Fighters faves 'Everlong' and 'The Sky Is a Neighborhood' at Coachella on Saturday.
The surprise appearance — with Venezuelan maestro Gustavo Dudamel and the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Outdoor Theatre of the Indio, California festival — was the first time the 56-year-old rocker returned to his Foo frontman role since the Post exclusively confirmed the mother of his love child's identity as Jennifer Young.

Grohl made his first musical appearance since the baby scandal at FireAid in January, playing a Nirvana set with fellow surviving members Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear. The trio was also joined by Post Malone at SNL50: The Homecoming Concert in February.
But Grohl hadn't performed any Foo Fighters songs live since making the shock announcement about his newborn out of wedlock.

'I've recently become the father of a new baby daughter, born outside of my marriage,' Grohl wrote in an Instagram post in Sept. 2024. 'I plan to be a loving and supportive parent to her.
'I love my wife and my children, and I am doing everything I can to regain their trust and earn their forgiveness,' continued Grohl, who has three other children with wife Jordyn Blum. 'We're grateful for your consideration toward all the children involved, as we move forward together.'
In February, The Post broke the news that Young — a Florida-born rock 'n' roll fan who now resides in Los Angeles — was the mother of Grohl's new daughter. And records obtained by The Post showed that their nearly 9-month-old child — who Young is raising in a modest house with her own mother — has Grohl's last name.

WWE legend's daughter shares life-changing injuries she suffered on roller coaster ride
Noelle Foley, the daughter of WWE legend Mick Foley, revealed in a recent podcast interview that she had suffered a horrifying injury from a roller coaster ride. Foley appeared on the 'Rulebreakers' podcast, hosted by former WWE and All Elite Wrestling star Saraya-Jade Bevis, and discussed the injuries she had sustained after hitting her neck too hard during a ride at the Dollywood theme park. She said the particular ride 'went up, down, and immediately went back up,' forcing her body to go forward and then immediately go backward. 'My head hit really hard, and something happened with my neck, but I didn't know what happened,' Foley explained, adding that the sides of her neck felt 'stretched out.' Foley said she had experienced a headache for the last five and half years, which she said has been a 'huge mystery.' 'It took me about two months to realize I had a concussion. I'm like, 'This headache is not going away, and I'm so sensitive to lights and sounds and I feel all weird,'' she said. 'And I was asking my dad, who you would think would know a lot about concussions, but he was like, 'Sorry, I don't really know.' I feel like his concussions, boom, they happen, and he's like OK. But he never really had a concussion that lasted longer than maybe a couple months. I've been to around 50 doctors, between doctors and physical therapists. It's just been a mystery. 3 Noelle Foley, the daughter of WWE legend Mick Foley, revealed in a recent podcast interview that she had suffered a horrifying injury from a roller coaster ride.

Getty Images for Fandom 'It wasn't until I really started digging that I started getting answers and feeling better. I found out I have a rare neck condition called cranioservical instability, and they found that out from a digital motion X-ray. . . . So, they found out I tore about 10 ligaments in my neck, and because of those torn ligaments, it causes my neck to be unstable and my head isn't securely on my neck then all your other muscles are overcompensating. So, those muscles are probably causing the headaches.' 3 Noelle Foley and Mick Foley attend the game between the Boston Celtics and Milwaukee Bucks on December 4, 2017 at the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts. NBAE via Getty Images Foley said she had made a checklist before she decided to get her breast implants removed. She said removing her implants helped her headaches a bit. She remarked later in the show that she hopes to pursue a career in modeling in the future, but she's working with different brands and tourism boards, focusing on others who have dealt with sensory issues.

'And Just Like That' costume designer never told series was ending
It's the end of the road for New York's iconic fictional fashionista, Carrie Bradshaw. The 'Sex and the City' spinoff series 'And Just Like That' ended after three seasons on Thursday night — concluding the franchise starring Sarah Jessica Parker, which first premiered on HBO in 1998. Now, costume designer Molly Rogers is revealing that she was never officially told the franchise was over. 12 Sarah Jessica Parker as Carrie Bradshaw in the 'And Just Like That' series finale. Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max 'It wasn't like HBO sent an email saying, 'pack your bags,'' Rogers exclusively told The Post. 'I think that's the only way these days to keep something a secret. Total blackout,' she added. 12 'And Just Like That' costume designers Danny Santiago and Molly Rogers at an event for ''And Just Like That' on June 8, 2023 in New York City. Getty Images for Max® The Emmy-winning costume designer, who also worked on 'Sex and the City' and the 'SATC' movies, said that she had an inkling that Carrie's story was over when she read the script for the final episode. 'I read it and I started thinking,' oh yeah.' There were a lot of little underlying – I feel like – subliminal messages. No one said it [was the end], but in my mind, I always imagined that Carrie would be happily by herself the last time we saw her.' HBO didn't announce that Season 3 would be the final season before it premiered. Showrunner Michael Patrick King and star Sarah Jessica Parker both shared the news on social media on Aug. 1, just two weeks before the series finale aired. 12 Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago attend the 'And Just Like That' Season 2 Special Screening at The Bvlgari Hotel on June 26, 2023 in London, England.

'Which I'm for. I appreciate it,' she said. She added, 'I'm glad, I might have been weeping as I chose the last shoe, or something. I think it's better to be in the dark, and just think of it fondly, and that you gave it your best shot – even not knowing it was the last shot.' Now streaming on HBO Max, the series finale of 'And Just Like That' ends with Carrie alone in her apartment, apparently at peace with being single. In the final shot, she dances around, clad in a sequined pink top and a long pink tulle skirt. 12 Sarah Jessica Parker, in her final Carrie Bradshaw outfit in the 'And Just Like That' series finale.

Craig Blankenhorn/HBO Max Rogers, who also worked on 'The Devil Wears Prada' and 'Ugly Betty,' told The Post that the sparkly pink top came from Parker herself. 'That last scene, [I was] kind of thinking it could be the end, but even if it just ended up being the end of Season 3, I thought it has the nod to the original tutu,' she said, referring to the tutu that Carrie wore at the beginning of 'Sex and the City.' She explained that the skirt is by Molly Goddard, and she found it in a London runway show. 'And because this episode was set on Thanksgiving, it was cranberry. And that [sequined top] was a personal sweater of Sarah's that Lauren Scott had made, a dear friend.' 12 Sarah Jessica Parker in 1998 wearing the tutu in 'Sex and the City.'

Fans criticized the outlandish look, but Rogers said the negative reactions 'really perplexed me.' The 'And Just Like That' costume designer said that the show was 'always intended to be a moving fashion magazine.' Referring to how Carrie donned the now-infamous look during a jaunt to Washington Square Park, Rogers told The Post, 'Did the fans of the show want her to walk through the Washington Square Park eating ice cream in a sun visor?' 12 Sarita Choudhury with Sarah Jessica Parker in the famous hat in 'And Just Like That.' HBO 12 Sarah Jessica Parker and Sarita Choudhury in 'And Just Like That.'

Reflecting on her time on 'Sex and the City' and 'And Just Like That,' Rogers said that it was always exciting to find a fashion 'treasure,' and 'to see [Parker] come into the fitting room and squeal, 'Where did you find this?'' Rogers added, 'I am spoiled for the rest of my life. There's no one that puts on clothes like Ms. Parker.' She joked that it would be 'downhill' after the 'SATC' franchise. 'Now, I'll probably be doing some prison show, or something,' Rogers joked.

Katie Lowes teases ‘The Hunting Wives' Season 2 return after Jill's death
It's an old wives' tale. 'The Hunting Wives' star Katie Lowes could return to the hit steamy thriller in Season 2, even after her character's dramatic death. 'Anything's possible, right? I definitely think Jill is dead,' Lowes, 42, exclusively told The Post. Advertisement 'I keep getting texts like 'she's not dead. She's in a coma,'' she laughed. 8 Katie Lowes on 'The Hunting Wives.' Lionsgate The 'Scandal' actress explained, 'We know that the [show's] world is wild and out there. So, who knows? But, I think that hopefully there could always be flashbacks.' Advertisement 'The Hunting Wives' has not officially confirmed a Season 2 renewal. But the series, now on Netflix, was the most-streamed show the first week of August, raking up over 2 billion minutes viewed, per Deadline. 8 Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix The raunchy hit follows Sophie (Brittany Snow), a Massachusetts woman who relocates to Texas thanks to her husband's job. Soon, she becomes entangled in the web of her new friend Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), the Queen Bee leader of the local community. Advertisement Margo presides over a clique of moms and socialites who like shooting guns – and, she also has affairs with men and women alike, including fellow member of their girl group, Callie (Jaime Ray Newman) and her friend Jill's (Lowes) son, Brad (George Ferrier). Jill is the local preacher's wife and a basketball mom – and she's oddly possessive of Brad. 8 Jaime Ray Newman, Malin Akerman, Brittany Snow, and Katie Lowes in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix 8 Katie Lowes in 'The Hunting Wives.' Lionsgate Advertisement 8 Katie Lowes, Brittany Snow, and Malin Akerman in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix 'People would ask me if that was hard to play [Jill],' Lowes told The Post. 'Obviously, her marriage is horrible. She got married very young. And I think she's incredibly lonely, and no one cares about her. And she's a very capable, smart woman. And her wires got crossed. And all of her life's passions just fell on Brad.' The actress added, 'She's so complicated and complex, it was so fun to play.' 8 George Ferrier as Brad in 'The Hunting Wives.' Lionsgate 8 Joyce Glenn, Brittany Snow, Katie Lowes, and Alexandria DeBerry on 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix Things turn deadly when Brad's girlfriend, Abby (Madison Wolfe), turns up dead in the woods. That's far from the show's only casualty. Jill ends up killing Abby's mother, Starr (Chrissy Metz), in a violent confrontation, and Callie ends up shooting Jill. Advertisement 'Chrissy Metz and I were running around on set the night where we were both murdered, and we were calling it 'The Haunting,' like going around trying to scare everyone,' shared Lowes. 8 Katie Lowes as Jill and Jaime Ray Newman as Callie in 'The Hunting Wives.' Netflix The 'Inventing Anna' actress joked that she was 'honestly' a little disappointed that Jill didn't get the racy scenes her counterparts did. Lowes previously revealed she had originally auditioned for Callie. However, after she ended up playing Jill instead, who has no sex scenes, she decided to look on the bright side. Advertisement 'I made it 42 years without having to make that phone call to my dad saying, 'I just want to prepare you,'' she told The Post. Lowes added that she did get nude a few times during her college days at NYU for 'experimental theater,' but that was 'before the iPhone.' She quipped, 'And at the time, I thought I was making the best theater in the world. Looking back, maybe not… But it doesn't live on Netflix!'
