Liam Neeson And Pamela Anderson's Romance Just Got A Quiet Nod From Natasha Richardson's Sister, And It's All Pretty Emotional
While neither of them has confirmed the romance, they've openly shared their admiration for one another during a whole bunch of interviews and red carpet appearances.
Then, at the New York premiere of the movie, the stars were joined by their respective sons and posed on the red carpet together like one big happy family, fueling the dating rumors.
After that, People reported that Pam, 58, and 73-year-old Liam are indeed enjoying a 'budding romance in the early stages,' with an insider going on to add: 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other."

It comes after Liam had previously said that he was done with dating following the tragic death of his wife, Natasha Richardson, in 2009.
For context, Liam and Natasha met back in 1993 when they starred opposite each other in the Broadway revival of Anna Christie. They got married just one year later, in July 1994, and went on to welcome two children together, Micheál, 30, and Daniel, 28.

But tragedy struck in March 2009, when Natasha slipped and fell while skiing on a beginner's slope with an instructor in Quebec. At first, she reportedly brushed off the severity of the fall, but she soon became incredibly unwell and was rushed to the hospital.
During a 2014 interview with Anderson Cooper, Liam recalled the phone call he had with Natasha before she was taken to the hospital. He shared: 'She said, 'Oh darling. I've taken a tumble in the snow.' That's how she described it.'
Liam rushed from a movie set to be by her side, and when he arrived, he was shown an X-ray that confirmed Natasha was 'brain dead.'
He said that he and his wife had 'made a pact' that if either of them ever 'got into a vegetative state, that [they'd] pull the plug.' Natasha was transported back to New York, where she died surrounded by her friends and family.
Liam has only been in one public relationship since Natasha's death, dating a PR exec called Freya St. Johnston for two years before they split in 2012. Just last year, the star told People 'I'm past all that' when asked about dating.
And with all of this in mind, fans were left touched when they spotted an Instagram comment from Natasha's sister, Joely Richardson, over the weekend that suggested that she has given Liam and Pamela's new relationship her seal of approval.

It came after Pam shared a carousel of photos of herself and Liam celebrating their new movie to her Instagram page, and Joely poignantly left seven red heart emojis in the comment section.
For reference, Joely is also an actor, and she has always been incredibly open when it comes to discussing her sister's death over the years.
Back in January, she shared a black and white childhood photo of herself and Natasha as she reflected on her 60th birthday. She wrote: 'Me and my sister Tasha. On my birthday people seemed astonished that I was happy to be turning sixty. Why wouldn't I be? It's not like the numbers jumped from 25 to 60. All the years and decades in between were LIVED.'
'Now I get to be this number and investigate how I find it . '60 is the new 40' people say- I say 'why does it need to be? I did that one 2 decades ago'. 'Age is just a number ' is commonly said , but it's not,' she went on. 'It's a badge saying I made it to this station on the road. So many didn't, so , it's a blessing.'

Seahawks rookie Elijah Arroyo's eye-poking short-shorts have the gays spiraling
On August 3, Seattle Seahawks rookie Elijah Arroyo unintentionally went viral after an interview following a training camp, where he discussed the banter between himself and fellow rookie Nick Emmanwori. While the tight end answered the questions with grace, his tight short shorts left us all feeling a little…distracted. Immediately, the internet does what it does best: Unleashed the thirst. from Seahawks Fans on Reddit had plenty to say about the interview. One quipped that there 'won't be any more tight ends when he gets to work.' Others, being a little more upfront with comments, simply stated, 'Raw. Next question.' He also made a splash on X, with some people saying he was 'blessed by God' and others saying he and 'his 3rd leg are gonna have a great year.' Respectfully, no lies detected. Other fans let Elijah know when they were free in hopes of getting together. Even Grok had something to say about it after a fan asked what was 'by his groin area inside his underwear.' Grok answered, 'The visible outline in Elijah Arroyo's groin area is likely just his anatomy, accentuated by the tight shorts. That's the awkward detail driving the video's virality.' In response to another question about the clip's virality, Grok said it was 'due to his unusually tight, short shorts revealing a prominent bulge,' and we couldn't have put it more eloquently. While some people had to wipe the drool off their chins others accused the NFL of 'staging thirst traps.' Obsessed or not, Arroyo also has a job to do moving forward into the season. On Thursday, August 7, the Seahawks will begin their preseason slate against the Las Vegas Raiders. The match also features the new Las Vegas head coach, Pete Carroll, as well as former Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith. If Arroyo's preseason performance matches the stats fans are already assigning him, Seattle just drafted a weapon no defense can cover. Either way, defenders and viewers should probably keep their eyes open. This article originally appeared on Pride: Seahawks rookie Elijah Arroyo's eye-poking short-shorts have the gays spiraling

Denise Richards Shows Up at Aaron Phypers' Home, Claims He 'Put Down' Her Dog as Cops Called amid Restraining Order
A source close to Phypers tells PEOPLE that Richards' claims he put down one of her dogs is "100 percent, absolutely false"NEED TO KNOW Police responded to a call at Aaron Phypers' Calabasas residence on Aug. 3 as he and estranged wife Denise Richards continue with divorce proceedings Authorities tell PEOPLE they did not find evidence of a crime, and Richards' attorney says she was not in violation of the restraining order she has against Phypers amid abuse allegations The attorney further accused Phypers of putting down one of her dogs, though a source close to him denies that claimDenise Richards and Aaron Phypers had a run-in with law enforcement over the weekend amid their ongoing divorce and her temporary restraining order against him. PEOPLE can confirm that the Lost Hills Sheriff's Department responded to a call at around 4:40 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 3 at the Calabasas home Phypers, his parents and his brother currently live in. Upon arriving at the scene, authorities 'did not have any evidence that a crime occurred.' Richards' divorce attorney Brett Berman tells PEOPLE that Richards was not doing anything illegal. In a statement to PEOPLE, Berman says that the 54-year-old, who was granted a TRO against Phypers after making allegations of domestic violence throughout their relationship, 'did not violate a restraining order' by going to the property. 'On August 3, 2025, after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present in her home, Ms. Richards entered the home to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission,' Berman claims. However, a source close to Phypers tells PEOPLE that this is '100 percent, absolutely false." The insider further alleges that Richards was screaming and banging on the door of the home to get inside, and when Phypers heard her voice, he left through a side door. Richards previously opened up about her 'confusing' living situation during a March episode of her Bravo reality show, Denise Richards & Her Wild Things. 'I don't live in our house,' she revealed. 'Aaron's mom and dad and his brother, they were gonna stay for a few months; It's been over three years.' 'I needed some space, so I rented a townhouse, and then I rented another one and another one,' she continued. 'So I have three of them. One's an office, one's a studio, one's for Lola and Eloise and for us to sleep in. And then when Aaron and I want privacy, we sleep in the studio. So, we're all over the place.' In that same episode, she and Phypers discussed their marriage, and Richards claimed she was 'never getting divorced again' after her tumultuous split from ex Charlie Sheen in 2006. 'Even if we hate each other, I'm not gonna f------ get divorced,' she said. 'No, we'll just have different homes or something,' Phypers added. 'But we're not gonna hate each other.' 'We have enough homes, but yes, I agree,' Richards quipped. Phypers filed for divorce from Richards on July 7 following six years of marriage. Later that month, she accused her ex of physical abuse in court documents that included photos of her with a black eye. "Aaron would frequently violently choke me, violently squeeze my head with both hands, tightly squeeze my arms, violently slap me in my face and head, aggressively slam my head into the bathroom towel rack, threaten to kill me, hold me down with his knee on my back to the point where I would have to plead with him to get off me so that he would not kill me and hack into my laptop and phone and download all of my text messages," Richards alleged in her filing. "Aaron regularly threatened to 'break my jaw' and would cry, beg me to stay, and promise to get help — none of which ever happened." Phypers denied Richards' allegations in a statement to PEOPLE at the time, calling them "baseless claims." "Let me be unequivocally clear: I have never physically or emotionally abused Denise — or anyone," he stated. "These accusations are completely false and deeply hurtful. Denise and I, like many couples, have faced our share of challenges, but any suggestion of abuse is categorically untrue. I have always tried to approach our marriage with love, patience, and respect." On July 29, Richards' attorney claimed Phypers violated the TRO by "disseminating private information from Ms. Richards' cell phone and laptop, which he stole.' She cited multiple interviews Phypers has given recently, in which he stated that he had photos and text messages proving Richards was allegedly having an affair and that she had allegedly physically abused him (which Berman called 'false'). "We have warned Mr. Phypers in writing not to disseminate any information from Ms. Richards' stolen cell phone and laptop but he continues to do so,' Berman said. Phypers disputed Berman's statement at the time, telling PEOPLE, "Nothing was stolen, and nothing is missing — except, perhaps, Ms. Richards' moral compass."

So Far, Elon Musk's Revival of Vine Is Seriously Disappointing
For quite some time now, Elon Musk has been promising to bring back Vine. Back in the day, the short-lived TikTok precursor allowed users to post dopey 6-second videos that looped and could be easily shared. However, as the Tesla billionaire's plans for the short-form video distributor come into view, it increasingly seems like he (as per usual) got us all excited for nothing. Vine, which was purchased by Twitter in 2012, has been officially dead for a little over half a decade now. After Twitter killed uploads of the app's videos in 2016, Vine's archive subsisted for another three years or so until 2019, when the platform pulled support for it. Since then, all that has survived is a nostalgia for those halcyon days when short-form video was novel and joy-inducing, instead of being a grim staple of our increasingly frenetic information landscape. Musk initially floated the idea of bringing the video-sharing app back in 2022, not long after he purchased Twitter. Since then, he has repeatedly teased the app's return, much to the delight of site users. Last April, Musk again touched on resurrecting Vine with one of his many X polls. 'Bring back Vine?' he asked. A vast majority of respondents voted 'yes.' In January, an X user tweeted at Musk, 'think it's time to bring it back.' And the Tesla CEO personally replied, 'We're looking into it.' However, as Vine's 'return' has approached, it seems increasingly clear that the app may not be exactly how you remember it. On Monday, Musk promised that the archive of old Vine videos would return in some form. However, it seems increasingly doubtful that the app will be an active service that users can use to make new videos. Instead, Musk has implied that Grok's new AI video generator, Imagine (which, Musk has bragged, can be used to create NSFW material), will act as a replacement. 'Grok Imagine is AI Vine!' Musk wrote, in an X post on Saturday. Little other information was shared, but it left onlookers with the sad suspicion that the new Vine won't resemble the fun-fueled video clips of yesteryear and will be more about repackaging the AI-generated porn slop that's taking over everyone's feeds uninvited. Is Musk saying that Grok Imagine is the new Vine? Or will a new version of Vine be launched by X, alongside the archive of old videos? It's all unclear at the moment. If the resurrection of Vine just ends up being Grok's AI video app, with Musk dubbing it a 'return' of Vine, then we will all have been taken for a ride, once again. Gizmodo reached out to X for more information. That said, it's not like anybody really needs Vine now. The app occupies a peculiar spot in American tech history, in that it predated many other short-form video services that have gone on to become ubiquitous by copying its business model (see: Reels and TikTok). Yet despite being a pioneer in the category of apps whose primary societal contribution has been the shrinking of our collective attention span, it seems to have found success just a little too early. After Twitter's acquisition of the app, it enjoyed a few good years before confronting a boom of those competitor apps that ultimately outpaced it.
