Maria Shriver reveals how getting fired from CBS was the 'wake-up call' she desperately needed
Maria Shriver has reflected on the impact of her shock firing after her entire show was axed. She was anchoring CBS Morning News - pouring in early-morning energy, and, as she candidly admits, more emotion than she should have been giving to a job. On the latest episode of The Jamie Kern Lima Show, Shriver explained that she had convinced herself the program was her 'family,' a word she now laughs at because the feeling was seemingly not mutual. When CBS pulled the plug, she felt blindsided and instantly untethered. 'It helped me realize, oh wait a minute, this is not my family. 'This place can throw me out in a second,' she told host Jamie Kern Lima. That sting, she says, was the moment her real education began. Shriver had grown up in a mission-driven Kennedy household where love sounded like 'good job - now what's next?' and nobody paused to discuss feelings. In fact, she admitted that growing up, she and her family never said 'I love you' to each other. So, as an adult, she translated approval into achievement and naturally treated the newsroom like Thanksgiving dinner. Losing the job forced her to redraw the boundary between who she is and what she does for a living. 'Had I not been fired, I probably wouldn't have had that wake-up call,' she admitted. In practical terms, the lesson was simple: a boss can like your work, but a job can't love you back. Emotionally, it was bigger. She realized she had to build the family atmosphere she craved at home, not at the anchor desk. That's why her four grown kids now hear 'I love you' on repeat - a conscious reversal of the stoic upbringing she once knew. They tease her for being strict and beg her to slow down, but they never question her affection. Looking back, she's grateful the cancellation came early, before her identity totally revolved around a corporate brand. It taught her to keep work in perspective, to measure self-worth in something sturdier than ratings. It also set the stage for future pivots - from NBC correspondent to California's First Lady to Alzheimer's advocate - none of which, she notes, define her entire being. Today, she coaches younger journalists to invest passion in their craft but loyalty in the people who'll still be there after the credits roll. 'So I need to think about my family, my real family,' she said. 'I think I need to think about my real life and put this part of my life in perspective.'

Kennedy heir Jack Schlossberg cracks incredibly cocky 'joke' about his own handsomeness
John F. Kennedy's grandson Jack Schlossberg made an incredibly cocky declaration in a recent video, claiming that he upsets men when making eye contact with their girlfriends in the street. Schlossberg hopped onto TikTok with a new video advising men walking down the street to look away when accidentally locking eyes with a woman walking with her boyfriend down the street. 'Dating in 2025, couples in 2025, I have something to say,' he began with an example of walking down the street and spotting a heterosexual couple walking toward him. 'Sometimes the female and I will make eye contact,' he said. 'I don't like doing that. I don't like doing that to a guy. I like to look down and I look away.' 'Because I don't like it. I don't want that for that guy and I know that that's gonna p*** him off,' he continued. 'And I know that he's just - he doesn't even care but now he has to care, because why did she look, and what, who, and she's smiling now, why doesn't she smile for me anymore.' 'So I wanna say to all the other guys out there who aren't in relationships to look away, to look away in those scenarios. Look away.' The video stirred the internet as comments weighed in on Schlossberg's commentary as well as on his looks. 'What even is this?? Women in relationships can't look at humans and smile??' one comment asked. 'If I was walking past you with my husband I would smile bc id recognize you and wouldn't want to say anything in the case of bothering you,' another wrote. Some said his advice showed him to be 'respectful' and a 'gentleman,' while others declared he was simply aware of his looks. 'Mister steal your girl over here,' one wrote. Another simply declared Schlossberg a 'humble king.' Schlossberg's latest video comes after JFK's grandson issued an unusual challenge to his cousin Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Schlossberg - who has been a vocal critic of his cousin - took to Instagram in April to once again hit out at the Secretary of Health and Human Services. 'RFK Jr... I have got a challenge for you,' he started. 'Me and you, one-on-one, locked in a room, we hash this out. Nobody comes out until one of us has autism,' he continued. 'What do you say?' The challenge appears to be mocking Kennedy for his recent remarks suggesting 'toxins' or ultrasound scans could be driving a 'tsunami' of autism diagnoses across the US. The country's top health official even suggested industries were profiting off environmental toxins that are causing autism - in an apparent nod to his vaccine skepticism and crusade against artificial food ingredients. Kennedy had called the spontaneous press conference after a CDC report suggested the number of US children with autism rose to one in 31 in 2022, up from one in 36 in 2020 and one in 56 in 2016. But scientists and advocates for people with autism have widely criticized Kennedy's position as harmful and misleading, as mainstream research describes autism as a complex condition largely shaped by genetics. Kennedy, though, dismissed the idea that autism rates are being fueled by genetic factors at his news conference. 'We need to move away from the ideology that the relentless autism prevalence increase is simply an artifact of better recognition and better diagnostic criteria. 'Doctors and therapists in the past weren't stupid. They weren't missing all these cases,' he continued, arguing that 'only a small percentage [of autism cases] can be charged to better recognition or better diagnostic criteria. 'The answer is very clear and this is catastrophic for our country,' Kennedy claimed. But Schlossberg's criticism of his cousin goes beyond the controversial autism statements. He has repeatedly hit out at Kennedy ever since he launched his failed presidential run in 2023, when Schlossberg accused his cousin of 'trading in on Camelot, celebrity, conspiracy theories and conflict for personal gain and fame.' Schlossberg later teed off on his cousin during his Senate confirmation hearing, echoing his mom Caroline Kennedy's brutal critique urging senators to reject his nomination. Caroline called her cousin RFK Jr. a 'predator' who is willfully misinformed about vaccines, and a dangerous liar who has cheated his way through life. Earlier this year, Schlossberg also took to Instagram and his 600,000 followers accusing Kennedy of 'spewing lies' that the CIA was involved in JFK's assassination. 'Why are you scared of me? Why don't you ever respond? Are you busy pouring [sic] over the JFK files? Or is Cheryl just really dry down there?' he taunted his cousin, referring to his wife, actress Cheryl Hines. The following month, Schlossberg appeared to mock Kennedy's spasmodic dysphonia - a neurological disorder that makes it difficult for him to speak, according to the Daily Beast. He deleted his social media afterward, as he received flack for that and for falsely renowned lawyer Alan Dershowitz of killing his own wife.

Taylor Swift's former Cape Cod mansion lists for $14.5M
A mansion previously owned by Taylor Swift recently hit the market for a whopping $14.5million according to The home is an impressive 5,064 square feet, has eight bedrooms, and is situated on 1.11 acres. The home served as a romance spot for Taylor during her brief relationship with Kennedy family scion Conor Kennedy. Conor, who is the son of the controversial Health And Human Services Secretary Robert F Kennedy Jr, was spotted getting close to Taylor in the summer of 2012, and they were confirmed to be dating by August 2012. Taylor bought the Cape Cod mansion for $5million during her romance with Conor, as it was within walking distance of the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port. But after her relationship with the Kennedy family member fizzled out in October 2012, Taylor swiftly put the mansion on the market and sold it for $5.675 million in the spring of 2013. Now, a deep-pocketed Swiftie could recreate Taylor's romantic strolls around Cape Cod thanks to her old mansion's 200-foot private beach. The home by the water also offers a stellar view of the Atlantic Ocean. The property includes a convenient three-car garage featuring guest quarters, elegant wood floors and several cozy fireplaces. Additionally there is a heated in-ground pool for comfortable swimming at any time of year. Conveniently, the home has been listed as furnished, so the new buyer won't have to spend a second fortune on furniture. Taylor's former mansion reportedly gets plenty of natural light thanks to its 'expansive windows,' and anyone looking for even more can relax in its sunroom. Taylor reportedly met Conor in the summer of 2012, after she released her song Starlight, which was inspired by his grandparents Ethel and Robert F Kennedy Sr. At the time, Conor was living in the wake of the tragic death of his mother Mary Richardson Kennedy. Mary, who had been in the midst of a divorce from his father Robert F Kennedy Jr, died by suicide in May 2012. Prior to her death she had discovered a journal from her estranged husband in which he kept records of affairs he has with 37 dating back to 2001, according to New York Magazine. He and Mary had married in 1994, and he filed for divorce in 2010. Taylor and Conor were linked after a party in July 2012, when they reportedly kissed and showed off some PDA. But the relationship wasn't long for the world, and they went their separate ways by October 2012. In August of last year, Conor moved on and got engaged to the Brazilian singer Giulia Be
