Brody Jenner marries pro surfer Tia Blanco in intimate Malibu ceremony
The former star of The Hills and member of the famous Brody-Jenner-Kardashaian clan wed the professional surfer and internet personality in an intimate ceremony held at the Malibu home of his mother, Linda Thompson.
Thompson shared images and videos from Saturday's ceremony on her Instagram stories. In one, she posed with Jenner's arm around her, her son decked out in a black suit and tie, chunky, dark shades, and a garland of leaves around his neck. The wedding was attended by Caitlyn Jenner, who shares sons Brody and Brandon Jenner with Thompson, as well as four more adult children with two previous partners, including daughters Kylie and Kendall Jenner with ex Kris Jenner.
Thompson shared three to her stories that offer a robust inside look at the ceremony. In one, the happy couple are all smiles as their names are announced and they begin to walk toward the aisle. Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten," the theme song throughout Jenner's five-season run on The Hills, cheekily plays in the background.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jenner," Thompson captioned the video.
In another captioned, "Littlest Jenner girls dancing all night!" the newly-married couple weave around toddlers bouncing across the dance floor, including Honey Raye Jenner, the daughter Jenner and Blanco welcomed in 2023, and Eva Jenner, brother Brandon Jenner's first daughter with Cayley Stoker.
Jenner and Blanco were first romantically linked in the spring of 2022, when they began to be photographed together in Los Angeles. By that January, they'd announced Blanco's pregnancy, and were engaged in June 2023.In addition to The Hills, Jenner has starred on the reality series The Princes of Malibu, Bromance, and Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Earlier this year, he earned the prestigious honor of passing the World's Toughest Test.
Blanco has medaled at several prestigious surfing competitions, including the International Surfing Association Open Women's World Surfing Championship. She also has her own history with reality TV, having previously appeared on MTV's The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros and ABC's The Ultimate Surfer, on which she won first prize.

Ginger Minj is 'letting the monsters eat themselves' as reigning 'All Stars' winner
Ginger Minj isn't looking for your opinions about her Drag Race: All Stars victory — the crown and scepter are living on her bedroom shelf regardless. After 10 years, four seasons, and a record-breaking three Snatch Game wins, the iconic drag queen has finally claimed victory. Minj was crowned winner of All Stars Season 10 on Friday night, something that still feels "surreal" a few days later. Now that she's won, she says "I don't know what to do with myself" — but you can expect whatever comes next to be impactful. "Even before winning, I have always tried to be a queen for the people. And by the people, I mean all people," Minj tells Out. "So, whether you love me or you loathe me, I will always use whatever platform I have to make the world a happier, safer, better place for all of us. I got into drag because there's nothing more punk rock or political than bucking the system in a big way, and I think that if you can approach things through love and humor, you can open a lot of doors and change a lot of minds." Season 10 of All Stars introduced a new format that gave the returning queens more time to shine as they competed in three groups of six known as "brackets," before the top three from each group merged to compete against each other. The finale featured the most queens in Drag Race herstory, with eight facing off in a lip sync battle royal for the crown. Minj, the first to win under the format, loves the changes as "an old pageant girl at heart." "Before you compete at a national pageant, you have to qualify at a preliminary," she explains. "So, it really felt like brackets for these little prelim pageants that led us up to the big final national. And I love that. I thought it was so exciting, especially as a viewer, because for the six weeks before I even stepped foot on screen, I got to just be a fan and watch these two mini seasons play out." Originally in bracket three, Minj swept her competitors by landing in the top two for each of her group's three episodes, then once again after the groups merged. She also set a Drag Race record by becoming the first queen to win Snatch Game three times. However, the performance she was proudest of wasn't any of her victories, but rather her talent show number, in which she did an original musical theatre number that showcased just how far she's come. "I am most proud of, honestly, the one thing I didn't win, which was the talent show," Minj says. "I absolutely loved that, because it felt like it was finally an opportunity to show the entire world exactly who I am as a performer that I hadn't been able to do in 10 years on Drag Race up to that point." Minj was so focused on devoting her energy to the challenges that antagonism from her fellow competitors washed right over her. Despite some prodding in the werkroom and during Untucked from Season 15 alum Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Minj kept her cool and refused to engage. She maintains now that "there was no tension between us." "It was all very one-sided. And when I saw it play out on television, I knew that that she was poking the bear," Minj says. "But honestly, I was so hyper-focused on what I had to do that I wasn't paying attention. So, I didn't even know it was as big of a deal as it actually was in-person." Minj is taking a similar approach to the online backlash over her victory. While disagreements are always expected among fans, the queen has been the target of an especially intense brigade of viewers upset by her win, with some claiming she was favored by producers or that she shouldn't have been allowed to compete on four seasons in the first place. Minj says she's handling negative comments "exactly the same way as I handled Mistress" — by simply not engaging with them. "I just don't pay attention to the negativity," she says. "Why would I? If I had been crowned 10 years ago, that version of myself probably would have been completely embroiled in the entire mix of it, but at the place that I am in my life now — and I fought so hard to get here — I'm not going to sacrifice any of my peace or my happiness for people who are just looking for an excuse to be miserable." "As long as I just keep kind of focusing on all of the love that is there surrounding me — and there's so much love and positivity swirling around me at all times — I'm just feeding off of that and then letting the monsters eat themselves," Minj adds. Now that she's finally won Drag Race, Minj isn't interested in following the paths of other former contestants by going on reality shows like The Traitors, mainly because "I'm not a good liar." Instead, she says she would love to participate in vocal competitions like The Masked Singer or Show Me Your Voice. Her dream role is to star in Harvey Fierstein's breakthrough 1983 musical, La Cage aux Folles, which was the first hit Broadway musical about a gay relationship. "Especially now with today's political climate, I really want to star in a Broadway revival of La Cage aux Folles," Minj says. "I've done the show a couple times before. ... It's sad, but it's also really interesting that over four decades after that show was written and produced, it's even more timely and relevant right now." Even in the face of anti-LGBTQ+ or anti-drag laws, the queen isn't slowing down. Minj will be hitting the road this fall alongside former Drag Race contestants Jujubee and Sapphira Cristál for their Hokus Pokus Live tour, and expects more opportunities to come as her success grows. "I was born and raised in Leesburg, Florida, which is an hour north of Orlando and 45 years behind it culturally," Minj says. "Even though it was really rough growing up, it gave me a lot of coping skills as I got older to look three steps ahead and see where things are going. That's just how I'm taking it day by day, trying to look ahead, see what's down the pike, and if there's anything I can do to change it."

Justin Bieber sparks fresh concern over wellbeing with ‘clean man' post
Justin Bieber has sparked fresh concern over his wellbeing after reposting a clip rejecting the idea of living life as a 'clean man'. The 31-year-old pop star shared the video to his Instagram Stories amid ongoing speculation about his alleged drug use, with the footage featuring a moment from rapper DMX's 2013 appearance on the US talk show Iyanla, Fix My Life, in which the late performer — whose real name was Earl Simmons — dismissed the idea of complete sobriety. In the clip, host Iyanla Vanzant, 71, asks DMX if he wants to 'live his life as a clean man'. DMX responds: 'When you say clean – no weed? No drinking? Nothing?' Vanzant replies: 'Nothing. You need to be a clear, pure vessel for the voice of God.' The rapper answers: 'I think I'm exactly where I need to be with God.' DMX died in April 2021 at the age of 50 after suffering a cocaine-induced heart attack. The video, originally broadcast more than a decade ago, has resurfaced after being reshared by Justin without comment – a move that has drawn criticism and concern from fans. The repost comes as speculation continues to swirl online about Justin's own alleged drug use, with some social media users noting his increasingly erratic public appearances and behaviour. In February, a representative for Justin denied what they described as 'harmful' allegations about the singer, telling TMZ: 'Despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.' The spokesperson added Justin had been in a 'good place' with his wife, Hailey Bieber, 27, following the birth of their son, Jack Blues, in August 2024. They also said 2024 had been 'very transformative' for the singer, explaining he had ended 'several close friendships and business relationships that no longer served him'. Despite the reassurances, Justin has continued to share photos of himself smoking – including while snowboarding and at Coachella - and recently posted sweat-drenched selfies that he captioned as part of a detox, though without further explanation. Fans took to Instagram to comment on the latest post, with one writing: 'Stay healthy and happy,' while another added: 'Keep pushing.'

Alex the Great, S.F.'s beloved influencer rabbit, dies after cancer battle
Alex the Great, the beloved 30-pound rabbit known for cruising around San Francisco in his toy Mercedes-Benz, has died after a months-long battle with cancer. The large Flemish rabbit underwent surgery to remove a cancerous tumor on Thursday, July 17, according to his family, who provided regular updates on his health via social media. Though Alex made it through the procedure, he wound up in the Intensive Care Unit of UC Davis Veterinary the following day due to a complication that arose during treatment. Alex's owners, Josh Row and Kei Koc, said he 'crossed the rainbow' on the morning of Monday, July 21. 'This is the hardest news,' they wrote in an X post. 'The pain is unbearable.' The four-year-old rabbit was rescued by Row and Koc from a meat farm in Modesto when he was a small bunny. Alex attended his first San Francisco Giants game when he was four months old, and quickly rose to social media fame by serving as the team's' 'rally rabbit,' frequently charming attendees in the stands during games at Oracle Park. Alex also comforted travelers at SFO as one of its therapy animals. Last year, he even stopped by Outside Lands at Golden Gate Park, where he was invited to meet pop star Chappell Roan. According to his owners, Alex's health troubles began in May, when he had to undergo emergency surgery at SoMA Animal Hospital to remove a cancerous tumor. Though he was medically cleared to attend Giants games by the start of June, he returned to the hospital last week to get a second tumor removed. His family noted that Alex had several cardiac arrests during the procedure and 'just couldn't pull through.' Before he went into his second surgery, Alex's family held a meet-up at Mission Rock for fans to give him some good luck cuddles. They also put out an open call for donations to help cover his medical bills. Dozens of devastated fans took to social media on Monday to share their favorite moments with Alex and offer their condolences to his family, who have been reposting several of these messages to his Instagram stories. 'We will continue your legacy and spread joy and build a positive loving community,' his family wrote on Monday afternoon via Instagram. 'No words to describe the pain, no time would heal the big hole in our hearts.'
