Destiny's Child reunion a reality at Beyoncé's final 'Cowboy Carter' show
At her final stop on her tour for 'Cowboy Carter,' the pop star brought out her longtime bandmates Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams to perform a medley of Destiny's Child's biggest hits. The trio performed the 2001 track 'Bootylicious' and the 2005 smash 'Lose My Breath' to the cheers of Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. Rowland and Williams joined Beyoncé on some solo material as well, lending a hand for a performance of 'Renaissance' cut 'Energy.'
The surprise reunion is the first time the girl group has shared a stage since 2018. Beyoncé marked the moment with a post to Instagram, which showed Bey beaming with her fellow hitmakers.
Perhaps miffed that LaToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson are never invited to these get-togethers, the president leveled a shot at Beyoncé around the same time that she was wrapping up her stadium tour. Donald Trump called for the pop star to be prosecuted, alongside former Vice President Kamala Harris and mogul Oprah Winfrey, for allegedly taking undisclosed payments to endorse the Democratic presidential candidate in 2024.
'I'm looking at the large amount of money owed by the Democrats, after the Presidential Election, and the fact that they admit to paying, probably illegally, Eleven Million Dollars to singer Beyoncé for an ENDORSEMENT (she never sang, not one note, and left the stage to a booing and angry audience!),' he wrote. 'These ridiculous fees were incorrectly stated in the books and records.'

Dave Ramsey Caller Discovers Her Boyfriend Hid $80,000 In Credit Card Debt. Now He's Asking Her To Co-Sign A $100,000 Loan On His Home
A woman from Raleigh, North Carolina, called into 'The Ramsey Show' recently with a jaw-dropping financial dilemma. Allie, who has been with her boyfriend for over a decade, recently learned he secretly racked up $80,000 in credit card debt. Now, he wants her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit on a house she doesn't even own. He Took Care Of Her After A Tragedy, Now She's Paying All The Bills Allie said she only discovered the debt when her boyfriend hit a financial wall. "He hit the end of the rope," she told co-hosts George Kamel and Jade Warshaw. That's when she learned he had maxed out every credit card. He also still owes $40,000 in student loans.

You can His spending problem? Classic cars. Allie explained that he runs a restoration shop but is terrible at managing the business side. "He sees a car he wants, he gets it. He cycles through like three or four sports cars a year," she said. Despite living with him for the last two years, her name isn't on the mortgage. He recently asked her to co-sign a $100,000 home equity line of credit, or HELOC, so he could pay off the credit card debt. Allie immediately knew that was a bad idea. "If he takes one of those sports cars and wraps her around a telephone pole, I'm stuck with his debt for the rest of my life," she said. Allie admitted she briefly considered helping because of what he did for her in the past. After a devastating car accident left her with spinal injuries and a traumatic brain injury, Allie lost her house, car, job and life savings. Her health insurance company sued her to recover the $500,000 they had spent on her care. With nowhere else to go, she moved in with her boyfriend, who helped her recover. But now, she's the one carrying the financial burden. "I'm currently paying all of our bills," she said. "Because he has nothing to pay them with." Trending: $100k+ in investable assets? – no cost, no obligation. Not Married, No Ring, No Security Kamel and Warshaw were straightforward: she should not feel guilty or obligated to co-sign anything. "If somebody does something out of an act of generosity, they're not looking to be paid back," Warshaw said. They also pointed out how financially risky her situation has become. "You're paying his bills and you're broke," Kamel told her. "You're not really gaining as much as you think." Allie revealed she now earns about $35,000 a year, down from $70,000 before her injuries. Her health limitations keep her from taking more physically demanding jobs. And she said she feels trapped because she doesn't make enough to afford a place of her own. Still, she admitted that if she had more money, she would leave the relationship. Kamel and Warshaw encouraged her to keep searching for a rental or roommate situation. "There's a bunch of great girls out there who would love a great roommate like Allie who can pay her fair share," Kamel said. "He has chosen his obsession over you."

'Suits' and 'Yellowstone' Actor Neal McDonough Reveals Rule He Won't 'Kiss Another Woman Onscreen' in His Contracts
The actor said that he was "blackballed" and "crucified" in the industry over his ruleNEED TO KNOW Neal McDonough revealed that he has a rule about kissing women for roles, saying that he refuses to kiss anyone but his wife, Ruvé McDonough The actor alleged that his rule led to him getting sued once, as well as "blackballed" and "crucified" in the industry He revealed that the saving grace has been his wife, and that he was thrilled to get to kiss her onscreen in his movie, The Last RodeoNeal McDonough opened up about feeling "blackballed" and "crucified" in the industry over his stance on filming romantic scenes. During a Wednesday, July 30, appearance on the Nothing Left Unsaid podcast, the 59-year-old actor — who fans will recognize from the likes of his 2025 film The Last Rodeo, Suits and Yellowstone — revealed that he has a rule that he will only kiss his wife of more than 20 years, Ruvé McDonough. "I had always had in my contracts that I wouldn't kiss another woman onscreen," he said while on the podcast, clarifying that it was not his wife who proposed the rule. "It was me, really, who had a problem. I was like, 'Yeah, I don't want to put you through it. I know we're going to start having kids, and I don't want to put my kids through it.'" Instead, the actor said that he decided to pursue a career as a frequent villain so that he was able to accept roles that didn't require romantic moments. Despite his plan, Neal said that the rule ultimately "got him blacklisted" and left Hollywood confused about what to do with him. "A lot of people say, 'Well, you kill thousands of people in all of your movies, sometimes millions, and you won't kiss another woman onscreen?' I'm like, 'Yeah, but you're not really killing anybody,'" he said. "And it's kind of funny on the day when we're doing it. But intimacy is a whole different thing for me." Elsewhere in the interview, Neal recalled a time when he faced pressure on set to film a "simulated sex scene" for the pilot of a TV show. After he refused and quit the role, he was sued as the clause was not included in his contract. Despite that, he adamantly stressed that he never second-guessed his decision. Saying that "Hollywood just completely turned on me," he recalled feeling untethered and said that he "lost everything you could possibly imagine." "Not just houses and material things. But your swagger, your cool, who you are, your identity, everything. My identity was an actor and a really good one. And once you don't have that identity, you're kind of lost in a tailspin," he admitted, saying that it continued "for a couple of years." Neal explained that his self-doubt about his role in the industry led to him developing a drinking problem, which he was only able to beat when Ruvé got him to go back to church and rediscover his faith. "When I stopped drinking and everything just kind of changed. Literally, the clouds parted. I was like, 'Oh. I don't need this crutch. Oh, people are calling me. Oh, I am successful. Oh, I do like myself again. Ok, I am God's child, and I have a job to do. Stop wallowing in self-pity. Dust yourself off and go hit it hard,'" he explained. Regarding his rule, he noted that his wife was "really hot." "That's the other thing. You know, she's a good-looking woman, and everything else pales compared to my wife Ruvé. But in all seriousness, it was just something I was never comfortable doing." The rule almost led to him giving up his role in The Last Rodeo, which he wrote and produced as well as starred in, because there were two flashbacks that entailed kissing the character's deceased wife. What changed his mind was convincing Ruvé to play the role.

"She was so great in the movie, and to kiss my wife, my real-life wife, in a movie that I wrote and produced and gave glory to Him in," he reflected, saying, that he couldn't picture "anything really better than that in my life when it comes to my career because it's finally one of those things where I made it, and I did it our way." He continued, saying, "We did it. We made a beautiful film that's made money, that everyone's loving, that the reviews are crazy for. I've never been part of a film that has a 95% Rotten Tomatoes approval rating from the audience. Never. You know, so we knew we did something right." The actor also shared a lesson that he learned from the experience, saying, "I think sometimes you need to be crucified in life to realize what life is really about. It's about God. It's about what you can do to make the world a better place while you're here for that finite amount of time." Neal and Ruvé exchanged vows in December 2003, and they share five children. "Almost 20 years of marriage, & 23 years together. The best decision I ever made in my life asking Ruvé to be my life partner and soulmate," he gushed about his life partner in a 2023 post on Instagram celebrating their monumental anniversary.

Julia Haart's NYC Apartment Is As Unorthodox As Her Life—Tour Her Stylish Tribeca Home
Julia Haart is a true force of nature. The entrepreneur and fashion designer might be known for her Netflix show, My UnOrthodox Life, but what's truly unorthodox about her is her incredible sense of interior design. While fans and viewers got a glimpse of it on television, there's a lot they didn't see. It's also changed since filming concluded and her ex-husband, Silvio Scaglia moved out. Located in Tribeca, Haart lives in a six-bedroom, six-bathroom home—with two additional powder rooms—spanning approximately 8000 square feet across three floors. While the condo is massive by Manhattan standards, it was the outdoor space that truly drew her in: an additional 3687 square feet spread across three levels. She tells me, 'I don't know any other apartment that has that. Most just have a rooftop. I have outdoor space on every level.' There's also a jaw-dropping view of the Statue of Liberty. 'I can wave to Lady Liberty every morning.' And while the h0me is ultra-luxurious and sophisticated, the entrepreneur and reality star reveals it's just as comfortable as it is chic. 'I wanted something that makes people smile, that feels unexpected and cozy. I believe houses are meant to be lived in. I don't want anything covered in plastic. I believe that between fabric and feelings, feelings should always win. I never want someone to feel bad if they spill wine or something. It's all okay.' Here's a look inside some of the most noteworthy spaces in Haart's home. The Bedroom Closet While Haart is perhaps on her fourth act as the designer of the shapewear line Body By Julia, her fifth act might just be as an inventor. As someone with a large designer wardrobe, a regular closet bar simply wasn't enough. 'One of my favorite parts of my house is a closet I invented with an Italian company. It's like a dry cleaner or like what you see in Clueless, but totally different—my own invention. As far as I know, it's the only one of its kind on the planet,' says the designer. She would also like to make her closet system commercially available at some point in the not-too-distant future. On the other side of the closet is a Lazy Shoesan, which is a large rotating platform that makes it easy for her to choose her footwear for the day. 'I also created a shoe Lazy Susan. Lazy Susans have been around forever, but I made mine just for shoes. It's really fun.' The Kitchen Haart values her kitchen above all other rooms, except for maybe her closet. With a stunning view of the Hudson River (which is present throughout the home), it features a mix of modern and contemporary finishes. With open shelves, marble floors, and appliances by Sub-Zero, Miele, La Cornue, and Wolf, it's luxury refined. One of the most noteworthy features is a sculptural hand-blown light fixture by Jeff Zimmerman. Simply showstopping, Haart notes the piece is one of her favorites. 'I love it because it makes me think of Superman's cave—you know, his thinking cave with all the ice skulls and that whole vibe. That's what it reminds me of, and I just love it.' Haart was just as intentional about the art she chose for the walls, a painting called Ha Ha Ha by Mel Bochner. 'I love it because it just makes me cheerful and smile. I think there's enough gray in the world, so having a whole painting that's basically laughter and joy in my kitchen—it's fun.' Lastly, she has a head-turning cutlery bouquet by artist Anne Carrington. 'I love it. It's my favorite piece,' says Haart. The Dining Room Featuring bold red walls, this room is unique and modern. With a handmade ceramic fireplace by Brooklyn artist Peter Lane, it's the perfect spot to gather. Haart also designed the wood dining table herself. The Den One of the biggest transformations in the home after Haart's former husband moved out was the den, which previously served as his office. Now, she uses it to relax and catch up on television with her 'ridiculous' 102-inch screen. She was thrilled to change it up. 'I moved a Haas Brothers couch from my bedroom in here, added some Gucci chairs, a table, a fridge, a freezer, and munchies on top. It's perfect for watching.' While the room used to belong to her least favorite person, it now holds furniture from one of her favorite brands. 'I'm obsessed with Haas Brothers. Their stuff is so playful and whimsical. I've got a Haas Brothers table, chairs, side tables—tons of pieces. Even the couch is theirs.' What's Next For Julia Haart Haart is super busy working on a variety of Body by Julia launches for fall, including sculpting shirts, tanks, and bodysuits that double as stand-alone ready-to-wear pieces or seamless layers under blazers and dresses. This fall debut will be followed by a revolutionary swimwear collection in December, combining shaping performance with the brand's signature color and print technology.
