Alyssa Milano Honors Julian McMahon With Heartfelt Tribute: He ‘Was Magic'
McMahon, who portrayed the complicated and beloved character Cole Turner in the series, died on July 2 after a battle with cancer. This week, in a moment of remembrance, Milano shared a tribute rooted in respect and artistic kinship.
'I'm heartbroken. Julian McMahon was magic,' she wrote. 'That smile. That laugh. That talent. That presence. He walked into a room and lit it up—not just with charisma, but with kindness. With mischief. With soulful understanding.'
Milano shared they were 'different,' but somehow 'always understood each other,' and that he 'challenged,' 'teased,' and 'supported' her.
'Julian was more than my TV husband,' she wrote. 'He was a dear friend.'
She described losing him as 'unfair' and 'unreal,' emotions that spoke to the bond they shared.
'My heart is with Kelly, with Madison, and with Iliana—his girls, his world,' she wrote, referring to the family he left behind. 'He adored them. You could feel it in every conversation, every story, every text. He was a family man above all, and he loved deeply.'
His wife, Kelly McMahon, confirmed the death of the Australian actor in a statement to Deadline on Friday: 'With an open heart, I wish to share with the world that my beloved husband, Julian McMahon, died peacefully this week after a valiant effort to overcome cancer.'

Chrishell Stause marries G Flip for the fourth time
Chrishell Stause and her partner G Flip have once again tied the knot. This time, the pair enjoyed an epic, medieval-themed bash surrounded by their closest friends and loved ones at a castle venue in Los Angeles. Stause donned a white gown with a lace-up corset, while Aussie musician G Flip played the role of a dashing knight. The Selling Sunset alum wrote over the invitation, which bore an image of a castle, "Lots of gay merriment to happen later today!" Stause and G Flip (full name Georgia Flipo) secretly tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 before renewing their vows in Palm Springs a year later. Stause and the non-binary rocker renewed their vows for a second time in Melbourne, Australia, in July 2024. "We promised we're going to do it every year," the Daytime Emmy nominee explained to E! News in 2023. Before their latest nuptials, Stause shared an update on the couple's journey towards parenthood, confirming she was trying IVF one more time. The TV star wrote, "If it's meant to be, it will be. If not, pivot." G Flip has been candid about their desire for children in the past. "I definitely see children in my future," the drummer said on the People Every Day podcast. "I've always loved kids. One day that'll be in the future."

WWE legend expresses regret he was unable to speak to Hulk Hogan before his death
WWE Hall of Famer known as Brutus "The Barber" Beefcake expressed some regret that he had been unable to see Hulk Hogan before he passed away at the age of 71. Beefcake, whose real name is Ed Leslie, spoke to TMZ Sports on Saturday about his longtime friendship with Hogan. He said he had heard whispers that "The Hulkster" had not been doing so well, and he had thought about going to Hogan's Clearwater, Florida, home to visit him. "I was going to try to go to his house a couple of days ago. My wife said, 'You should just go over there.' And I was thinking, 'Oh, my God,' but if I go to the house and they say, 'No, you can't come in,' it would have crushed me. So I didn't, and now I wish maybe that I had tried to get in and tried to get to see him before he passed," he said. Beefcake was asked what he would have told Hogan if he had had one more chance to talk to him. "I love you brother, and we were truly friends to the end," he said. Beefcake said Hogan's friendship meant everything to him and that he had helped him break into the pro wrestling business. He recalled the great lengths that Hogan had gone to, to be there for him in his own time of need. Beefcake had been in a parasailing accident in July 1990, and Hogan had made the trip to see him. "I was in a horrible accident and not expected to live. And he left his family in California. His wife was about to have a baby, his son Nick, to fly to Florida to be there, because the doctor said they didn't think I was going to make it. And he flew there to be there for me. "And when they brought me out of a drug-induced coma, and he said to me, 'Don't even think about it. Brutus, you're going to live.' And I did. And he was there for me at the moment I needed the most." Beefcake and Hogan teamed together at the very early stages of their careers. They were known as The Boulder Brothers at the time. He was known as Brutus Beefcake when he first got started in the World Wrestling Federation (WWF). The two also were in the main event match for World Championship Wrestling's (WCW) Starrcade in 1994. He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019. Hogan died at a hospital on Thursday, an hour after he had had a cardiac event at his home.

Jack Conan reveals video from Katie Taylor inspired Lions before second Test win
Jack Conan has revealed that an inspiring video from Irish boxing great Katie Taylor helped the British and Irish Lions find the resilience needed to close out their series against Australia. Taylor, an Olympic gold medal winner and current undisputed world super lightweight champion, sent the good luck message to Andy Farrell's squad in the build-up to Saturday's second Test at Melbourne Cricket Club. The 39-year-old's words on the ability to dig deep turned out to be prophetic as the Lions emerged 29-26 winners after fighting back from an 18-point deficit. 'The video was unbelievably poignant and powerful. It spoke about being prepared to win with skill, but also being ready to win by will,' said Ireland number eight Conan, who like Taylor hails from Bray in County Wicklow. 'That was something that was massively summed up in the game because we were not at our best at all. 'It's huge because she comes from the town I'm from. I'm incredibly proud of where I come from and I know Katie is as well. 'She's gone on to achieve incredible feats in the boxing world. To be such a superstar, incredibly humble and driven is something that we leant on as well because we knew that Australia are a hugely proud nation and they showed it in spades. 'Everyone loved it, even the English and the Scottish boys and the Welsh boy – it resonated with everyone. It was unbelievably poignant, it was class. It really hit home for us.' It took a beautifully-taken try by Hugo Keenan with 51 seconds remaining to separate the rivals in one of the greatest Lions matches ever played. Remarkably, Keenan's touchdown was the first time they led in the match. Conan admits that victory tastes all the sweeter for having been taken to the wire as Australia raised their game to a whole new level a week after starting the series with a whimper in Brisbane. 'We were not at our best by any measure, but physically the lads dug in unbelievably well,' he said. 'It was disappointing how we played, but we played for 80 minutes. Hugo getting over the line in the last minute was just unbelievable. 'It wasn't my best game. A lot of us weren't at the races at all, but we stuck in there. You can't fault the effort. I thought the defensive sets we put in, just whacking people and just staying in there, was unbelievable. 'It's something that will go down in history. They won't be writing the history books about how s*** we were, but they'll say that we won and that's all that matters. 'Everyone's over the moon. To be part of a Lions winning series team is incredibly special. The celebrations in the changing room wouldn't have been the same if we'd won by 20.'
