Ryan Reynolds Goes in for a Kiss with Sister-in-Law Robyn Lively in 'Doogie Howser' Spoof
Ryan Reynolds spoofed Doogie Howser, M.D. as a response to the show's star Neil Patrick Harris voicing Deadpool in a new video game
Doogie alum Robyn Lively joined her brother-in-law for the hilarious video, in which Reynolds appears to awkwardly lean in for a kiss
"No, I don't think we should do that, because ... you're my sister-in-law," Reynolds tells Robyn, who is the older sister of his wife Blake LivelyRyan Reynolds teamed up with sister-in-law Robyn Lively for a Doogie Howser, M.D. spoof.
The actor stars opposite Robyn in a new video spoofing her TV show Doogie Howser, M.D., all for a joking response to the hit series' star Neil Patrick Harris now voicing Reynolds' character Deadpool in a new video game.
As a whitecoat-clad Reynolds, 48, types up a scathing letter on an old-school desktop PC, Robyn — who played love interest Michele Faber opposite Harris' Doogie in the show, which ran from 1989 to 1993 — pops up in the window and yells, "House call!"
"My girlfriend! What are you doing here? If my dad sees you here, he's gonna freak," Reynolds tells Robyn, his wife Blake Lively's older sister, who cheekily replies, "You're a 48-year-old man."

"I'm a 14-year-old medical prodigy who's going through the change," Reynolds says as "Doogie," which prompts Robyn to respond, "Are you talking about puberty?"
"Robyn, you're being paid," quips Reynolds.
"This is vindictive and stupid," she replies, to which Reynolds hits back with, "I disagree with that diagnosis."
After an ad for the Meta Quest game Deadpool VR (featuring the voice of Harris, 51) plays onscreen, Reynolds and Robyn, 53, have one last thing to sort out.
After he appears to awkwardly lean in for a kiss, Reynolds backs up and says, "No, I don't think we should do that, because—"
"Because you are so dumb," Robyn says, at the same time he says, "Because you're my sister-in-law."
A synopsis for the new game reads, "Contracted by Mojo, with the promise of making money, like a lot of money, Deadpool sets out to capture villains from the Marvel Universe."
"The Merc with the Mouth soon realizes he shouldn't have so hastily signed the contract," the description adds. "Will he survive or thrive in his journey to become the Mojoverse's most famous interdimensional streaming star?"

Earlier in his spoof, Reynolds is seen writing a journal entry a la Doogie and narrating, "Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don't teach you in medical school. People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all."
"No, I don't blame Meta Quest. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing actor with the nurturing voice of an angel, but even though I haven't hit puberty yet, I still know when you're getting totally screwed," Reynolds added.

Sly Stone's Family Reveals the Music Icon's Private Health Battle After His Death at 82
Sly Stone died at age 82, his family announced in a statement on Monday, June 9 According to Sly's relatives, his death came after "a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues" The rocker struggled with drug use throughout his lifeSly Stone dealt with health issues privately throughout the end of his life. The Sly and the Family Stone leader's family announced his death at age 82 in a statement on Monday, June 9 and revealed he struggled with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and other medical conditions. "After a prolonged battle with COPD and other underlying health issues, Sly passed away peacefully, surrounded by his three children, his closest friend, and his extended family," wrote the family. According to the Mayo Clinic, COPD is an "ongoing lung condition caused by damage to the lungs" and results in inflammation "inside the airways that limit airflow into and out of the lungs." Stone's family did not specify his "other underlying health issues." "While we mourn his absence, we take solace in knowing that his extraordinary musical legacy will continue to resonate and inspire for generations to come," continued the statement. "Sly was a monumental figure, a groundbreaking innovator, and a true pioneer who redefined the landscape of pop, funk, and rock music," added the family. "His iconic songs have left an indelible mark on the world, and his influence remains undeniable." Sly and the Family Stone also featured two of his actual siblings, Freddie and Rose. They released hits like "Dance to the Music,' "Everyday People" and "Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin).' However, Sly's drug use and behavior affected the group, which split up for good in the 1980s. In 1983, he was arrested for cocaine possession in Florida. He went to rehab in 1996. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Sly quit drugs in 2019, after his use landed him in the hospital four times in a period of a few weeks. A doctor said drugs would kill him. 'That time, I not only listened to the doctor but believed him,' he told The Guardian in 2023. 'I realized that I needed to clean up. I concentrated on getting strong so that I could get clean. My kids visited me at the hospital. My grandkids visited me. I left with purpose.' In February, Questlove released the documentary Sly Lives! (aka the Burden of Black Genius) about the musician's rise and fall. At a Q&A screening of the film the same month, producer Joseph Patel explained he and Questlove chose not to feature Sly on camera in the documentary because it didn't 'feel right' given his frail health. "Ahmir's first thing he said was, 'Let's tell this story with a lot of empathy.' That's not empathetic,' Patel said. "We interviewed Sly for [the Oscar-winning documentary] Summer of Soul in 2020. And he had just gotten clean, and he just — he doesn't have the motor function." The producer continued at the time, "He can't speak in full sentences. His eyes reveal a precociousness and a lucidity that's there, but his motor function doesn't exist."

Jennifer Lopez Performs in an Array of Teeny-Tiny Outfits, Including a Plunging Bodysuit Decked Out in Rhinestones
Jennifer Lopez performed at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. on June 6 Lopez wore a series of glittering bodysuits and outfits for her set One of the bodysuit featured a dangerously high cut that put her figure on displayJennifer Lopez left little to the imagination for her latest performance, donning a series of skin-baring outfits while celebrating the LGBTQ+ community through song. The "Let's Get Loud" singer hit the stage at the 2025 World Pride Music Festival in Washington, D.C. on June 6 and wore multiple glittering looks for the occasion. The most daring look that Lopez wore for her performance at the festival included a silver plunging thong bodysuit that was covered in hundreds of clear rhinestones. The bodysuit, designed by The Blonds, featured a plunging neckline that dipped low enough for Lopez to show off plenty of cleavage. The front of the bodysuit had an extremely high cut on the legs, leaving little to the imagination in the front, but offered more coverage in the back with a cheeky cut that showed off her toned backside. The silver lamé fabric of the bodysuit reflected the vibrant stage lights with each movement that Lopez made on the stage. She completed the daring look with performance-grade sheer stockings and matching silver sparkling knee high boots that also glittered.

Other stylish skin-baring looks that Lopez wore included a naked black catsuit with several futuristic illusion cutouts. Lopez also wore a bikini on stage during the event. The sequined piece was designed to resemble flames on both the top and bottom of her set.

Ahead of her hosting duties, Lopez told PEOPLE that she tries to be flexible with her wardrobe — and has help from her stylists to curate different moods. "I work with my stylist and we kind of kick around ideas like, 'What do we want it to be for the performance and what do we want it to be for the hosting and what's our vibe?'" she explained "We feel it out because I think it does change. For me, my feelings change from month to month, like, 'Who do I want to be today?' because I feel like there's so many different sides to who I am fashion-wise." Read the original article on People

Brittany Renner confirms her divorce to Kevin Gates. ‘I followed my heart'
Brittany Renner said she followed her heart and is getting divorced. (Warning: The below link contains language some may find offensive.) In a recent radio interview with REAL 92.3 LA, the 33-year-old 'Basketball Wives' star revealed that she and her husband, rapper Kevin Gates, are officially going their separate ways. 'We got married April 6 and divorced May 28,' Renner said in the interview, which aired June 7. The social media star says the couple must now enter a 90-day waiting period. The waiting period, known as iddah in Islam, is meant to ensure that a woman is not pregnant. Renner converted to Islam in August 2024, per Complex. 'And then also in those 90 days it's for reconciliation, because Allah wants you to stay married,' Renner explained. 'During those 90 days, you are not to entertain anybody romantically.' Renner and Gates, who converted to Islam in 2016, went Instagram official in April, according to E! News. The couple sparked engagement rumors the following month after Renner appeared at the season 12 premiere of 'Basketball Wives,' which aired May 5, with a ring on her ring finger. Renner later referred to Gates as her husband in a since-deleted Instagram post May 4, per E! News. 'You don't fit on this show and that's why you're a fit for this show,' Brittany wrote in the caption. 'Last night at the #BasketballWives Season 12 premiere party with my huzband.' Renner says she's looking forward to a 'nice 90-day reset' With her 52-day marriage in the rear-view mirror, Renner says she now wants to focus on herself. 'I followed my heart,' she said in her interview with REAL 92.3 LA. 'And that's more than what most people can say in this world.' She goes on to add that she doesn't view the divorce as a bad situation and is ready to move on. 'I don't think anybody gets married to not stay married. So, I think my biggest thing for me is just a nice 90 day reset. Focusing on myself and pouring into myself,' she explained. She said 'what is meant to be is always gonna be.' The divorce comes roughly one month after Renner gushed about Gates in an interview with People. 'I'm with the person that I quite literally dreamed of,' she said in the interview, published May 5. 'And to be able to just wake up next to him and spend time with him, even to have him here behind me, it's like so surreal,' she added. 'He's just the most beautiful person inside and out that I've ever met.' At the time, Renner said that the couple weren't concerned about what the future holds. 'I think that's where people get a little lost,' she told People. 'Like, we gotta stay present and I feel like when we get too far ahead, we don't live in the now and have fun in the now and pour in each other into each other in the now,' she continued. The pair don't share any children together, but Renner does have a 4-year-old son, P.J. Washington III, with NBA player P.J. Washington.
