Jesse Williams' X account seemingly targeted by hackers
The former Grey's Anatomy star's X/Twitter account was seemingly infiltrated by an outsider who used the page to post inappropriate comments, involving celebrities such as Sean 'Diddy' Combs, Drake, Nina Dobrev and Demi Lovato. The messages, which were still on his account at press time, contained nudity and jokes about racism and paedophilia. During the posting spree, the apparent hacker wrote, "Diddy had cute butt cheeks (loved-up emoji)" and "I miss diddy", to imply that he was close with the rapper.

Perks of having Margot Robbie as your bestie! Aussie actress 'lends red carpet look to bestie Ashleigh Brewer' for Phoebe Tonkin's wedding
They formed a tight bond during their days on Aussie soap Neighbours. And it seems, Margot Robbie and her former co-star Ashleigh Brewer are still as close as ever. The Barbie star, 34, appears to have lent one of her red carpet looks to her bestie for actress Phoebe Tonkin's wedding. Ash was pictured wearing the same dress Margot wore to the Los Angeles premiere of Saltburn back in 2023. The dark brown gown by Schiaparelli featured a sheer corseted top and a full skirt. Margot joined Neighbours in 2008 as Donna Freedman, while Ashleigh signed on in 2009 as Kate Ramsay. The two actresses lived together off-screen while filming in Melbourne, forming a close friendship that continued beyond the show. Margot left Neighbours in 2011 to pursue a career in Hollywood, while Ashleigh remained on the show until 2014. The pair both attend Phoebe's wedding to her fiancé Bernard Lagrange in New York City over the weekend. Teresa Palmer, Samara Weaving and Lara Worthington also joined the happy couple for what appeared to be a weekend of festivities. Bella Heathcote, Jessica McNamee and Ilona Hamer also made their way onto the guest list for the two-day celebrations. Other high-profile guests included British actress Annabelle Wallis, former bass player of The Donnas Maya Ford, Canadian actress Nesta Cooper and Mexican singer and actress Eiza González. Phoebe's Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev and H2O co-star Claire Holt were also in attendance. It seems the official wedding took place on Saturday in the Big Apple. Photos of the occasion saw Australia's golden girls glammed up in designer outfits as they enjoyed the festivities. Meanwhile, the bride rocked two very chic looks for her big day. During one wedding festivity, the Vampire Diaries star flaunted her figure in a newsprint gown, similar to Carrie Bradshaw's 1998 Dior number in Sex and the City. For her nuptials, Phoebe wore a stunning white sequinned Chanel dress with floral detailing, while Bernard opted for a classic black suit. One happy photo of the couple, taken by actress Maya, saw Phoebe and Bernard posing together in a vintage photo booth. 'Happily ever after,' said one caption, while another said: 'What a weekend celebrating this angel.' Australian model Lara, 37, also shared a number of pictures which showed off her avant garde dress for the evening. Little is known about Bernard, but he is believed to be an art dealer for Sotheby's. Prior to her romance with Bernard, Phoebe was linked to American rocker Alex Greenwald. She confirmed their romance on Instagram in 2020 by sharing a picture of the pair kissing while wearing face masks. It's unclear when the relationship ended.

Stars Brought the Glamour for the New York City Ballet Spring Gala
If you've been binging Étoile like us, then ballet is right in the front of your mind. All the glamour, the pageantry, the pointe shoes. It makes you want to get dressed up and head over to Lincoln Center. Last night, celebrities did just that to celebrate the spring season of the New York City Ballet. The 2025 Spring Gala had a 'Masked Ball' theme, and Claire Danes, Hugh Dancy, Ariana DeBose, Nina Dobrev, and Diane Kruger were all co-chairs. Some stars showed up in masks, while others opted for big gowns and lots of drama. Danes wore a custom GapStudio by Zac Posen dress with her hair slicked back. Ariana Debose's ensemble was from designer Bibhu Mohapatra. Nina Dobrev wore a voluminous pink gown. Diane Kruger was the only one of the co-chairs who wore a mask. All the celebrities and attendees gathered for a night of fantastical ballet. Dobrev told Vogue, 'You can see the precision that goes into every step, but the dancers make it feel so effortless. It's a beautiful paradox.' Also in attendance was Tiler Peck, principal dancer for the New York City Ballet, who also has a fun part in Étoile. The dancer shares behind-the-scenes looks at what goes into a ballet performance on her TikTok, if you've ever wondered what the life of a ballerina is like. The night's performance was 'Vienna Waltzes,' which NYC Ballet says 'showcases Balanchine's fondness for the waltz, featuring opulent scenery, sumptuous costumes, and more than 50 dancers in dreamlike motion.' See all the pictures of the celebrities in attendance in GapStudio by Zac Bibhu Nardos.

Southern town's economy booming thanks to long-forgotten tween drama
A small Georgia town that served as the backdrop to a 2000s tween drama is still living off the fanfare years later. Covington is home for only 14,700 people and is not even 14 square miles long, but the tiny town located 35 miles outside of Atlanta has had plenty of shows filmed there, including The Vampire Diaries, featuring Canadian actress Nina Dobrev. One of the most recognizable spots on the show was clocktower downtown, which appeared in all eight seasons of the CW show, which ran from 2009 to 2017. In one scene, Ian Somerhalder and Dobrev's characters leap from the cornice of the tower hand-in-hand in the second season. The show, although set in a fake town called Mystic Falls, was primarily shot in the Georgia town and its fans keep coming to explore the filming locations even years later, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Other shows, such as Dukes of Hazzard, Remember the Titans, and Sweet Magnolias, have all called parts of Covington home while filming. 'I tell people I see gold all over the ground throughout the state, and all we have to do is grab it,' Lynda Lee Smith, the founder of Entertainment Tourism Alliance of Georgia, told The Journal-Constitution. She sees the small town continue to grow as long as its entertainment business does, as film crews often hire local talent, shop and eat in town, and fill hotels during shoot days. Nina Dobrev in character at the Mystic Grill. The show's success is such a big win for the town that they see people as far as Australia coming to check out the filming locations And now fans want to experience these places for real. In 2014, the Mystic Grill gutted the inside to make it look just like the show, which later prompted its owner, Angi Beszborn, to hope Mystic Mercantile, which sells The Vampire Diaries merchandise, the outlet said. Beszborn even tracked down some of the set's original builders to recreate Salvatore's living room in the show, where brothers Stefan (Paul Wesley) and Damon (Somerhalder) talked about Dobrov's character, the outlet said. 'I probably had a million dollar's worth of stuff I could have sold that I just put in the dump,' Carpenter, James Wheeler, who worked on the original set, told The Journal-Constitution. The show's success is such a big win for the town that they see people as far as Australia coming to check out the filming locations. 'Fans come from all over the world. Brazil and Europe. We had some just here from Australia,' Mystic Mercantile Manager, Carin Rutledge, told The Journal-Constitution. 'When I ask them why they came here, they say: "For this."' Other places, like Ace's Used Cars and Hazzard's Square in Dukes of Hazzard were filmed at First Baptist Church and the town's square, respectively. Mystic Grill also served as Brooke's restaurant and the Lee-Porter House was The Corner Spa in Sweet Magnolias, among other locations. Despite several successful shows filming in the town, film productions in Georgia overall are on the decline, according to The Journal-Constitution. Productions spent 37 percent less in the 2024 fiscal years as they did in the year prior, the outlet reported. The Peach State also dropped from 412 productions to 273. So the state is looking to continue to capitalize on entertainment tourism and the fans dying to step foot inside their favorite film sets - or at least as close as possible. Different hangouts and events surrounding the productions that had previously filmed there are popping up and new souvenir shops too. Epic conventions brought in more than 15,000 visitors to Covington in 2023, The Journal-Constitution said. Despite the shows ending years ago, some fans aren't ready to let it go and Covington is making a bunch on that demand.

Nina Dobrev's Favorite Red Light Mask and Skincare Picks
Actress Nina Dobrev byfor Messika Getty Images for Messika Nina Dobrev has been a media darling ever since starring in the CW's The Vampire Diaries. Since then, the 36-year-old has come a long way in terms of her personal life and professional presence. For one thing, she is beloved within beauty and fashion's inner circles, where she is known for her natural beauty and inspiration-worthy hair. Dobrev is just as likely to be spotted at West Hollywood's hair haven, Nine Zero One, as a glamorous Fashion Week presentation abroad. She regularly works with leading industry talent (including her best friend, celebrity colorist Riawna Capri) and celebrity makeup artists like Hung Vanngo that help to keep her up to speed on beauty's best. Once the news of her pending nuptials to ex-professional snowboarder Shaun White hit, inquiring minds were quick to ponder what her bridal beauty prep and wedding makeup looks might entail. As luck would have it, I got the chance to ask her about the secrets of her beauty regimen. Below, Dobrev opens up about the skincare products, holy grail cosmetics and LED face masks that make up her A-list stash. Photo byGetty Images Our conversation took place as an e-mail exchange that began on the topic of ocean conservation—a cause Dobrev holds 'close to her heart.' It might seem unrelated, but the topic of sustainability easily segues into conversations about the beauty industry, which is estimated to create some 120 billion units of waste per year. 'For my birthday last year, I went back to one of my favorite beaches [and] was devastated to see plastic waste all over,' Dobrev tells me. But she is also adamant that 'small actions can make a big difference' and every piece of plastic kept out of the ocean counts. Acknowledging beauty's excessive waste has fueled calls for everything from circular business models, to refillable and non-plastic packaging, to improved means of recycling 'empties.' In time for Earth Day, Dobrev has partnered with Zuzu to advocate for improved recycling infrastructure that would help keep said waste out of the earth's oceans. Nina Dobrev partners with Zuzu to keep plastic waste out of the oceans. Zuzu/Nina Dobrev She also adds that her desire to be a more environmentally responsible beauty consumer absolutely impacts the way that she navigates the worlds of skincare and makeup. 'I do my best to support companies that are conscious of their products' [carbon] footprint and impact. I recently tried U Beauty Michelle's Essential Edit [a collaboration with actress Michelle Monaghan], whose packaging is made from recycled plastics,' Dobrev continues. 'I also try to use sunscreens that are reef safe, like [the SPF from the Australian brand] Ultra Violette.' Right off the bat, I am impressed that Dobrev has named two niche beauty brands with cult-followings—and this is just the beginning of her beauty acumen. She then walks me through her beauty editor-worthy nighttime skincare regimen, which she applies while enjoying a cup of Chamomile and Magnesium tea before bed. Photo byGetty Images 'After removing my makeup with reusable Makeup Eraser cloths and washing my face with IS Clinical Cleansing Complex, I use my LED mask,' she tells me of the ultra-popular beauty tech devices among celebrities and skincare experts alike. For quick reference, specific FDA-approved wavelengths of LED light work by stimulating skin cells' mitochondria to produce more cellular energy, or ATP. Readers always ask me which LED masks celebrities like best—and Dobrev reveals her top two: Therabody TheraFace Mask and Shark Cryo-Glow Red Blue and Infrared iQLED Face Mask & Under Eye Cooling. 'At night, I really like the Therabody mask with a vibration massage. Shark makes a mask that has a cryo cooling element [for the under-eyes] that feels really nice for de-puffing in the morning,' she explains of her go-to masks. (Incidentally, celebrity facialist Candace Marino recently posted about the very same Shark LED mask.) Therabody TheraFace Mask, $599 Therabody 'Then I apply my toner [or] exfoliant, a hyaluronic acid serum, eye cream and face cream.' She says she loves 'anything by Biologique Recherche,' adding that their Crème Contour Yeux et Levres Biofixine eye cream is one of her 'favorite' skincare splurges. Another product she is 'obsessed with' is the Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum. Plus, the 111Skin Cryo Revitalizing Moisturizer 'really perks my skin up on days when I wake up puffy and dehydrated—which sadly, is almost everyday,' she jokes. To my delight, she then calls sleep the best 'beauty hack of all.' She is certainly not wrong; the states of deep relaxation and sleep are when the body naturally undergoes detox and repair processes that are essential for skin (and overall) health. But while prioritizing quality sleep is challenging us all, it becomes even more precious for celebrities and their busy travel schedules. Photo by Nina Westervelt/Variety via Getty Images Variety via Getty Images Dobrev's constant travel prevent her from keeping regular facial appointments and treatments in any single place. But she makes it a point to work facials into her schedule at least 'every two to three months.' Who she sees simply depends on where she is geographically. 'I have collected skin experts all over the world over the years. For example, when I'm in New York I go to Fabricio Ormonde, Sarah Akram when I'm in Washington D.C., Sophie Carbonari when I'm in Paris,' she says. 'For sculpting [massage], I book with Ivan Pol. Or when I'm in Los Angeles, Kate Somerville for facials and laser treatments.' Her list of go-to celebrity makeup artists is similarly enviable. When in New York, she names Hung Vanngo, Gita Bass and Soo Park (who did her engagement makeup) as her usuals. In Los Angeles, she might work with Fiona Stiles, Kate Synnot, Patrick Ta or Alan Avendaño, or Charlotte Prevel, Harold James, Chynara Kojoeva or Katharina Arkhipova if she happens to be in Paris. Photo by Raymond Hall/GC Images GC Images Inside her personal beauty kit, her most-reached-for cosmetics include her favorite under-eye concealer (Pat McGrath Sublime Perfection Concealer in shade L6) and foundation (Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation in shade 2.5). She always applies these with a BeautyBlender Makeup Sponge, she adds. 'My friend Arielle Vandenberg has a beauty brand called REL. I'm obsessed with her liquid blush,' Dobrev says of the REL Hydrating Cream Blush, which contains sea buckthorn and red algae for added skin benefits. 'I truly use it every single day in the shade Devon.' Another staple? Victoria Beckham Eye Wardrobe eyeshadow palettes, which she keeps right in her purse because it's so small. Dobrev finishes every look with the iconic Charlotte Tilbury Air Brush Setting Spray. (Side note: one of celebrity makeup artist Carissa Ferreri's favorite complex hacks is to use this same spray before and after makeup application.) Photo byfor Michael Kors Getty Images for Michael Kors No conversation about beauty secrets would be complete without mentioning haircare—especially when your illustrious brown locks are as admired as Dobrev's. 'Riawna Capri is my OG colorist, hair cutter, hair stylist and best friend,' Dobrev reveals of her celebrity hair guru. 'She was sadly out of town when I decided to cut my bangs, so [celebrity hair stylist] Mark Townsend cut them for me for the premiere of The Outlaws a few years ago.' Because her hair grows so fast, Townsend taught Dobrev to trim her own bangs, which she does every two weeks. 'My secret 'bang' weapons are texturizing shears and Kevin Murphy spray,' she adds of the dry powder finishing hairspray, before ending the interview with a final tidbit of beauty wisdom for those with fringe: 'Never use regular hairspray in the bangs!'
