Alex Cooper's family home sells for $1.1 million
Alex Cooper's family home has been sold for $US780,000 ($A1.1 million) just five months after the podcaster surprised her parents with a new house in Los Angeles. During her show, the 'Call Her Daddy' host revealed that she had purchased an L.A. residence for her mum, Laurie, and her dad, Bryan. She insisted to her listeners that she and her husband, producer Matt Kaplan, wanted 'nothing in return' for the gesture, Realtor reports. The media personality did admit that having her parents live so close to her own $US10.7 million ($A16.4 million) Studio City pad would make it easier for her to enlist their babysitting services in the future 'My parents are officially moving to Los Angeles, California, and I bought them a house,' the former Barstool Sports star announced in the episode. 'It makes me emotional thinking about it because when I started 'Call Her Daddy,' I had somewhat of a vision of what I hoped this would turn into.' Now, it seems Bryan and Laurie's cross-country move is officially complete. Property records indicate that their longtime Newtown, Pennsylvania, property was sold on May 6 — 32 years after they purchased it for just $US211,250. The property, which boasts four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, is where Cooper spent much of her childhood alongside her brother, Grant, and her sister, Kathryn, before she relocated to Boston in order to attend Boston University on a full-ride soccer scholarship. That decision plays a major role in her new documentary 'Call Her Alex,' in which she accuses her former coach, Nancy Feldman, of sexually harassing her while she was on the college team. She alleged that Ms Feldman, who has yet to publicly respond to Cooper's claims, began to 'fixate' on her, noting that she found her coach's behaviour 'confusing' at the time. '[It] was all based in her wanting to know who I was dating, her making comments about my body and her always wanting to be alone with me,' Cooper says in the documentary, according to People. 'It was this psychotic game of, 'You want to play? Tell me about your sex life.' I felt so deeply uncomfortable.' Cooper further claimed that she felt unable to speak up about the alleged harassment because she was attending BU on a 'full-tuition scholarship' and believed she would have been 'gone' if she didn't 'follow [Feldman's] rules'. The podcast host said she did tell her parents about Ms Feldman's behaviour, revealing that the family hired a lawyer, who warned them that a potential case could be dragged out for years. Addressing the allegations during a Q&A at the New York City premiere of her documentary, Cooper admitted that she had initially been unsure whether she wanted to open up about that time in her life. The Podcaster recalled the difficult moment when 'Call Her Alex' director, Ry Russo-Young, asked her to return to the soccer field that she trained and played on during college. 'The minute I stepped back on that field, I felt so small,' she shared. 'I just felt like I was 18 years old again, and I was in a situation with someone in a position of power who abused their power, and I felt like I wasn't the 'Call Her Daddy' girl. 'I wasn't someone who had money and influence or whatever. 'I was just another woman who experienced harassment on a level that changed my life forever and took away the thing I loved the most.' After graduating from BU in 2017, Cooper went on to launch 'Call Her Daddy' alongside her then-roommate Sofia Franklyn, before going on to ink a solo deal as the host of the podcast in 2020. In the years since, Cooper has signed two multimillion-dollar deals with different audio streaming services, the first of which came in 2021 — when she inked a three-year contract with Spotify, which was reportedly worth $US60 million ($A92 million). After that contract came to an end in 2024, Cooper moved on to SiriusXM, which reportedly offered her a multi-year deal worth a staggering $US125 million ($A191 million). Having founded her podcast in New York, Cooper relocated to Los Angeles at the start of 2021, and in 2022, she purchased a Studio City abode with her then-boyfriend Kaplan, with whom she tied the knot in April 2024. The couple carried out an extensive renovation on the home after purchasing it, revealing to Architectural Digest in 2023 that the process took just over a year to complete. 'I was a little overwhelmed by how much of an undertaking it would be, because [the home] was not our style whatsoever,' she told the publication. 'It was so far from our taste that it allowed us to tailor every single room to our liking.'

World's biggest TikTok star leaves US after being detained by ICE
Your web browser is no longer supported. To improve your experience update it here BREAKING Pentagon launches review of AUKUS pact Khaby Lame, the world's most popular TikTok personality with millions of followers, has left the US after being detained by immigration agents in Las Vegas for allegedly overstaying his visa. The Senegalese-Italian influencer, whose legal name is Seringe Khabane Lame, was detained Friday at Harry Reid International Airport but was allowed to leave the country without a deportation order, a spokesperson for US Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed in a statement. Lame arrived in the US on April 30 and "overstayed the terms of his visa," the ICE spokesperson said. TikTok star Khaby Lame has left the US after he was detained by ICE officers. (Scott Garfitt/Invision/AP) The Associated Press sent a message seeking comment Tuesday to the email address listed on Lame's Instagram account. He has not publicly commented on his detainment. His detainment and voluntary departure from the US comes amid President Donald Trump's escalating crackdown on immigration, including raids in Los Angeles that sparked days of protests against ICE, as the president tests the bounds of his executive authority. A voluntary departure – which was granted to Lame – allows those facing removal from the US to avoid a deportation order on their immigration record, which could prevent them from being allowed back into the US for up to a decade. Lame, who is Senegalese-Italian, has more than 162 million followers on TikTok. (AP) The 25-year-old rose to international fame during the pandemic without ever saying a word in his videos, which would show him reacting to absurdly complicated "life hacks." He has over 162 million followers on TikTok alone. The Senegal-born influencer moved to Italy when he was an infant with his working class parents and has Italian citizenship. His internet fame quickly evolved. He signed a multi-year partnership with designer brand Hugo Boss in 2022. In January, he was appointed as a UNICEF goodwill ambassador. Last month, he attended the Met Gala in New York City, days after arriving in the US. immigration TikTok celebrities USA World CONTACT US

Karl Stefanovic's model daughter Willow, 20, stuns during Tuscan wedding as she shows off striking $463 pink strapless gown
Willow Stefanovic has stunned at a recent wedding in Italy. The daughter of Today host and his ex-wife Cassandra Thorburn took to Instagram on Tuesday to share several striking photos of herself at the nuptials in Tuscany. Willow, whose first name is Ava but uses her middle name, attended the European wedding as a guest and opted for a summer-inspired outfit. The model, 20, looked elegant in a light pink $463 House of CB dress, which she accessorised with a drop pearl necklace and bangle. A flattering tan accentuated Willow's toned arms, and her long brunette hair was styled naturally to fall just below her waist. The social media influencers' family and friends praised her in the comments. Her father's Today co-cost Sarah Abo wrote: "Gorgeous girl xx". Willow's stepmother Jasmine Yarbrough, who married Karl in 2018, said the model looked like "a dream". "So so so beautiful," another person said. "Breathtaking. So is the scenery," one more person said. Willow shares a striking resemblance to both her mother and father. She is one of three children of Karl and Cassandra, a children's author, before the pair divorced in 2017 after 22 years of marriage. The following February, the Today host announced his engagement to Jasmine and the couple married in a ceremony in Mexico that December. They welcomed a daughter, Harper, in 2020. The model's latest round of photos comes as she continues to share her worldwide travels with her 11,000 followers on social media. In February, Willow was seen enjoying dining and shopping in Uruguay and gave fans a glimpse of breathtaking water views in St Tropez, France. The 20-year-old resides in London, where she began studying for a degree in fashion at the prestigious London College of Fashion in 2023. Willow is already making moves to follow her famous father into the spotlight. She signed with Precision MGMT in 2021 and told Stellar that Karl "backs me 100 per cent as long as I'm happy." "We all know I didn't get my fashionista gene from him,' she said. Speaking to the publication, Karl encouraged his daughter's pursuit and said it's just the tip of the iceberg of her many wide-ranging interests. "She doesn't go into anything blindly, especially the fashion world," he said. "She's a strong, independent young woman and wants to pursue lots of things in life. We love her spirit."
