Weezer's Scott Shriner Returns to the Stage at Coachella After His Wife Was Shot by Police
The show must go on.
Just days after Weezer bassist Scott Shriner's wife was shot by police and arrested during an altercation in Los Angeles, the rockers played at Coachella, going ahead with their scheduled performance on the Mojave stage on Saturday, April 12.
During their afternoon set, the group performed some of their biggest hits, including "Island in the Sun" and "Beverly Hills." They also treated the crowd to a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman."
Shriner, 59, has previously indicated that all would go as planned, even after his wife Jillian Lauren-Shriner, 51, was shot outside the couple's L.A. home on Tuesday, April 8 for allegedly firing her weapon at an officer.
'She's alright, thank you for asking,' he told the New York Post of his wife. 'See you at Coachella!'
The incident involving Lauren-Shriner, an author, took place after an unrelated hit-and-run accident, after which three suspects allegedly fled into her neighborhood, the Los Angeles Police Department said.

She had no involvement in the hit-and-run, but was armed and allegedly fired her weapon at an officer in her backyard, resulting in her arrest. She was shot once in the shoulder, and after briefly going back into her home, ultimately surrendered and was transported to a nearby hospital for medical attention.
She has since been released from custody on a $1 million bond.

Lauren-Shriner married Shriner in Hawaii in 2005, and published her autobiography, Some Girls: My Life in a Harem, in 2010. The book chronicled her life from 1992 to 1995 as a paid female guest of Prince Jefri Bolkiah of Brunei.
She announced in March that she'd been diagnosed with cancer, and was recovering from a hysterectomy when Tuesday's incident occurred.
It is unclear if she has retained an attorney who can speak on her behalf.

Blake Lively ‘Cried' After She Found Out About Baldoni Lawsuit Update, ‘Source' Says
and Justin Baldoni's legal battle recently witnessed a massive advantage towards the former, and she reportedly had a rather emotional response to the lawsuit update. After a judge dismissed the latter's $400 million countersuit against her, a source shared that the actor 'cried' over the update. She also took to Instagram to briefly respond to her win ahead of the trial in March 2026. The tossed countersuit accused the actor and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of extortion and defamation. In a major lawsuit update, Blake Lively now holds the upper hand in her legal dispute with her 'It Ends With Us' co-star Justin Baldoni. On Monday, June 9, Judge Lewis J. Liman reportedly dismissed the director-actor's $400 million countersuit against her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. The news left her emotional, according to an insider. After news of the countersuit dismissal broke out, they told PEOPLE that Lively 'cried with relief' over the win before the trial takes place next year. The source expressed that she 'feels vindicated' and 'relieved' with the update, and so does her husband. Another insider told the outlet that everyone in their legal team is happy with the results. The judge reportedly also dismissed Baldoni's $250 million defamation lawsuit against The New York Times for its extensive coverage of Lively's complaint. Meanwhile, the actor took to Instagram to share her thoughts on the win. She opened up about the pain caused by her co-star's 'retaliatory lawsuit,' including the 'manufactured shame that tries to break' her and others in similar situations. The Betty Booze founder also claimed that the lawsuit against her stood 'defeated.' Lively further expressed her resolve to 'stand for every woman's right to have a voice in protecting themselves.' She also expressed her gratitude to the people who stood by and supported her in the journey. Ending the note, she said, 'I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you.' The legal battle began in December 2024, when Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing her 'It Ends With Us' co-star of sexual harassment and conducting a smear campaign. The battle has taken several dramatic turns over the past few months, leading up to the countersuit dismissal.

'Euphoria' Star Eric Dane Broke Down Over His ALS Diagnosis Not Being 'The End' Of Him In A Heartbreaking New Interview Teaser
In April, Grey's Anatomy and Euphoria star Eric Dane announced that he's been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, saying in a statement to People: 'I have been diagnosed with ALS. I am grateful to have my loving family by my side as we navigate this next chapter.' For context, Eric is 52 and shares two teenage daughters, Billie Beatrice and Georgia Geraldine, with his wife, Rebecca Gayheart. Rebecca filed for divorce from Eric in 2018, although in March — a month before his ALS diagnosis was made public — she requested to dismiss her petition. ALS, which is sometimes referred to as Lou Gehrig's disease or motor neurone disease, is a rare neurodegenerative illness that impacts nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, causing progressive paralysis of the muscles. The disease — for which there is currently no cure — causes people to gradually lose the ability to walk, speak, eat, and breathe independently, although it notably does not impact a person's thinking ability. The life expectancy after a person is diagnosed with ALS can vary between cases; however, according to the Muscular Dystrophy Association, most people with the disease are expected to live for three to five years after diagnosis. That said, everyone's experience with ALS is unique, and some people go on to live for decades. When announcing his diagnosis, Eric expressed gratitude that he's currently in a position to continue working, saying that he's 'looking forward to returning to the set of Euphoria,' which is currently shooting its long-awaited third season. Eddy Chen/HBO Eric stars in the Emmy-winning HBO series as Cal Jacobs, the father of Nate Jacobs, who is played by Jacob Elordi.

It's not a dream.'

'I don't think this is the end of my story. I don't feel like this is the end of me,' he says. Good Morning America / ABC Towards the end of the clip, while presumably discussing the immediate aftermath of his diagnosis, Diane asks who the first person was that he called, prompting Eric to break down in tears. Good Morning America / ABC The GMA segment — which airs on Monday — marks Eric's first TV interview since his diagnosis. It comes after he spoke with Variety about the future of his career, saying he feels 'pretty capable' as far as acting is concerned. 'With real respect, I really don't want to talk about it. I made the announcement. That's what's going on with me; it's very personal to me,' he said when asked about his diagnosis. 'I am ready and willing to do just about anything, but I have limitations that I understand will preclude me from playing certain roles. I'm working on Euphoria. I finished Countdown. As far as that goes, I'm pretty capable.' You can watch the GMA teaser here, and this is where you can find his new interview with Variety, in which he also spills on shooting Euphoria Season 3.

An AP photographer captures a powerful moment in the chaos of the Los Angeles protests
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jae Hong is based in Los Angeles and has worked with The Associated Press for more than 18 years, covering many of the city's biggest stories. Hong says protests in LA can change very quickly — one moment peaceful, the next chaotic — but he always tries to stay safe while telling the story through his this photo? The protests against President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown had been growing since Friday after a raid by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement downtown. I knew Sunday would be the biggest, most tense day. The National Guard had been called in, bringing even more people into the streets. How I made this photo When the protesters gathered again in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center, I followed. At first, it was peaceful. But moments later, LA police officers in riot gear arrived, ready to clear the area. A few hundred protesters moved onto the freeway and blocked the southbound lanes. The officers quickly surrounded the protesters, pushing them back onto the on-ramp. I was trapped in the middle of the crowd and the officers on the ramp, packed in so tightly that I could barely move. I kept my camera up to my eye, trying to capture the protesters' anger and fear. In the middle of it all, through the smoke and chaos, I saw this moment: A woman in a gas mask, standing face to face with a line of police in full riot gear, her hands raised, not to fight, not to give up, but appealing for calm. Why this photo works This photo shows the range of emotions in the crowd as protesters stood their ground. The smoke filling the air makes the moment feel even more intense. And it happened in broad daylight on a major Los Angeles freeway, making it even more powerful. For more extraordinary AP photography, click here.
