Real Housewives star Denise Richards plans revenge on husband after shock divorce
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards is said to be planning her revenge against Aaron Phypers after he filed for divorce this month Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Denise Richards is reportedly planning her revenge against husband Aaron Phypers. The 52-year-old filed for divorce from the ex-wife of Charlie Sheen last week and was said to have asked her to cover his living expenses, which total $105,000 per month. It was reported she was blindsided by the divorce papers, with the two 'trying to hurt each other'. Denise, 54 - who played 'Bond girl' Christmas Jones in the James Bond film the World Is Not Enough (1999) - began her relationship with Aaron, 52, back in 2017. The couple married the following year, months after their engagement. He is said to have cited "irreconcilable differences" and lists July 4 as the date of their separation, not long after their seventh wedding anniversary. TMZ reported that according to court documents, obtained by the outlet, he's seeking spousal support from Denise and reportedly has no income of his own. It added that Aaron estimates that his wife is grossing over $250,000 a month - around £185,000 - from OnlyFans, TV, brand deals and appearances. And now, new details emerged from their split, with it being said that the "last thing she wanted was another divorce, so he gave her a divorce". "Aaron wanted to hurt her and he has. Meanwhile, the last thing he wants is to be broke - so she's cutting off his cash flow," a source recently claimed to MailOnline. Her estranged husband hasn't worked since his Malibu wellness centre, Q360 Club, shut down last October. In the filing, he reportedly estimated that they spend $105,000 - around £77,000 - a month on average and that Denise has been covering it. Their monthly spending is said to include $20K on clothes and $15K on eating out, which is around £15,000 and £11,000 respectively. According to People magazine, which is also said to have seen court documents, Aaron has asked to keep their assets and debts as separate property. The request is said to include his power tools, a motorcycle and a sports car. However, a source told MailOnline that Denise, whose acting credits include films like Wild Things (1998), has yet to respond to the filings and told her pals that he hugely overestimated her income and wouldn't be able to meet his demands.

Lottie Moss puts on a daring display in skimpy orange halterneck bikini with low-rise briefs as she parties with pals on sun-soaked girls trip
Lottie Moss put on a daring display in a skimpy orange halterneck bikini as she joined pals on a sun-soaked girls trip. The sister of Kate Moss, 27, took to Instagram on Wednesday to share an insight into her trip to a mystery holiday destination. Lottie shared several clips of her friends drinking and partying as DJs played at a beach club. In a mirror snap from the villa they appeared to be staying in, Lottie could be seen posing in a bikini with one of her pals. The racy snap showed Lottie in an orange two-piece which featured very low-rise briefs. It comes after it was reported earlier this month that the former Only Fans creator is using her personal diaries to write a biography about her childhood and turbulent life in the spotlight. Lottie will not hold back as she reflects on her battles with alcohol and substance abuse issues, according to the Sun. It's understood that she has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager and will be using them to reference her colourful past. An insider said: 'Lottie has always been known as Kate's little sister — but this is her chance to tell her side of the story. 'She has kept written and video diaries since she was a teenager, so will be compiling all her scribbles and memories into the book. 'Lottie is excited to tell the truth about her struggles with body image, addiction and relationships.' MailOnline contacted Lottie's representatives for a comment at the time. Lottie - the half-sister of supermodel Kate Moss - previously admitted she would try weight loss jabs again despite suffering a seizure as a direct result of taking Ozempic. She was rushed to hospital last year after 'illegally' obtaining the drug - originally manufactured to treat diabetes - and consequently suffering a reaction. Speaking to Olivia Attwood on her ITV series The Price Of Perfection, she said: 'I think I've always really struggled with my weight since I was younger and I think modelling didn't help, and always being around these gorgeous, tall models. 'You know I'm small as well, so I was like "I've got to be at least skinny".' Talking about her sister, she added: 'I think I always felt compared to her at the beginning of my career, and I think people expected me to be kind of like a carbon copy of her as well. 'You know, cos she was getting a little bit older, she wasn't doing so much so they thought 'oh perfect, now we can have a whole new Kate Moss. 'Like I felt a lot of pressure to be like her and look like her and you know, I dabbled in that party lifestyle. 'That was essentially how they stayed skinny back in the day cos they had this wild party lifestyle.' Lottie said the party lifestyle wasn't for her, so she turned her attention to weight loss jabs, which have grown in popularity. Ozempic is a diabetes medication but it is also being sold privately for weight loss, and celebrities including Sharon Osbourne, Amy Schumer, Boy George and Heather Gay have admitted to using the drug. Lottie previously revealed she always felt 'compared' to her supermodel sister Kate as she admitted she would try weight loss jabs again after suffering a seizure Lottie, who obtained the jabs 'illegally', explained: 'For me, I needed to keep the weight off and I needed a quick fix and I heard about Ozempic and I thought ' I might as well just give it a go'. 'The way I went around it was really bad, and I shouldn't have, because it was kind of... I kinda got it in an illegal way. 'I got it from a doctor who was giving it out under a table. 'And to give it to someone without doing any tests or anything, or asking them any questions about their health is so, you know, crazy to me.' Lottie revealed she had lost between six to seven kilos after just two weeks on the drug, which she described as 'dramatic', before having a seizure. She said she didn't notice the huge drop in her weight at the time 'because you're so sick and tired all the time'. 'I felt something really weird happen as soon as I got on the bed, I had the seizure and they were holding me down,' she recalled. 'I was terrified. I honestly felt like I was dying, and it sounds really dramatic, but I've never had a seizure before.'

There may be some differences between the audio and the text. Podcasts: True crime, in-depth interviews and more USA TODAY podcasts right here Taylor Wilson: Good morning. I'm Taylor Wilson, and today is Wednesday, July 16th, 2025. This is USA TODAY's The Excerpt. Today Senate Republicans weigh billions of dollars in spending cuts, plus hear how some immigrants are raising funds to cover legal expenses. And after 80 years, Trinity test atom bomb victims will receive reparations. ♦ Senate Republicans are weighing billions in spending cuts targeting programs from PBS to global health initiatives in response to a request from President Donald Trump. The proposal to claw back about $9 billion in federal funding reflects a portion of the cuts pursued by the Department of Government Efficiency. The bill currently under consideration would impact the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, which funds NPR and PBS, and foreign aid agencies, including the World Health Organization and US Agency for International Development. Lawmakers have until Friday before Trump's request officially expires and current funding remains in place. From GoFundMe to OnlyFans, immigrants are going to new lengths to raise funds to cover legal fees. I spoke with USA TODAY National Immigration and Border Reporter Lauren Villagran for more. Thanks for joining me, Lauren. Lauren Villagran: Thanks Taylor. Taylor Wilson: All right. So just starting with this, how are immigrants turning to GoFundMe to pay for deportation defense? And why is this necessary? Lauren Villagran: This is something I've been watching for a while, from the very beginning of the ramped up enforcement that we've seen under the administration of President Donald Trump. But in the past few months, it really does seem to have accelerated. You're seeing more fundraising, more frequent campaigns, and larger sums of money. A USA TODAY analysis of GoFundMe fundraising campaigns this year found nearly 100 different campaigns set up by the loved ones of people detained by ICE, or community members, raising in just the last three or four months, $1.7 million. Taylor Wilson: All right. And how about OnlyFans? I know there's, I guess, a similar approach that we're seeing there. Lauren Villagran: I met a man who was visiting his wife, who was detained in South Florida by ICE and sent to a Louisiana detention center. And they, like many immigrant families around the country, are struggling under the weight of the cost of deportation defense and the legal process to stay in the country. They went to OnlyFans, the adult content site. The husband, who wishes to remain anonymous, as does his wife, who is from Colombia, decided to upload some of their own personal content and photos of her to the adult content site in hopes of generating subscriptions that could help pay her bond. Taylor Wilson: Lauren, you write that public generosity to the fundraisers appears to be growing as the president's mass deportation campaign has intensified. I guess these folks are having some success raising money in this way? Lauren Villagran: So there was definitely a marked difference between fundraisers started in June and July on GoFundMe versus those from April and May, which generated in some cases sort of lower level of funding. In June and July, you start to see fundraisers get over $100,000 in donations. I spoke with one advocate in Kentucky who was looking to raise money for the defense of a young man, a recent high school graduate. He was a refugee. He was here in the country legally, and was still picked up by ice. She decided to hit send on the GoFundMe campaign, and within 48 hours had raised more than $20,000 for him. He was eventually released back into his community, but it certainly something that family members, loved one's, community members are looking to do, because Taylor, bond can range from $1,500 to over $10,000. Taylor Wilson: Lauren, what else do you hear from migrants about their fundraising experiences in some of these spaces? Lauren Villagran: So US Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the Trump administration has prioritized for arrest anyone who is in the country illegally, and in some cases those who may be in a legal process but without firm status. There's a variety of stories. Everything from the student who had recently graduated high school to a Mexican father of 11 who was picked up on the way to his drywall business in North Carolina. He was eventually released. GoFundMe helped him get the $4,000 he needed to pay that bond. And then in the case of this couple, the American man from South Florida and his Colombian wife, well, it's a shot in the dark, but they are turning to essentially an adult content site. So the desperation is real among some of these families. The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to a request for comment on fundraising for legal defense for immigrants from USA TODAY, but the department has been very clear about the scope of its enforcement. Taylor Wilson: Did you hear from GoFundMe or OnlyFans about their respective roles in these spaces? Lauren Villagran: We did not hear back from OnlyFans. We know really of only one immigrant detained woman who is using the site for this purpose at this point. GoFundMe declined to comment on any increase in fundraising related to immigration defense, but did work with USA TODAY to verify more than a dozen accounts related to immigration detention fundraising. Taylor Wilson: All right. Lauren Villagran covers the border and immigration for USA TODAY. Listeners can find a link to the full version of this story in today's show notes. Thank you, Lauren. Lauren Villagran: Thanks Taylor. ♦ Taylor Wilson: Today marks 80 years since the Trinity test. And more Americans are now eligible for compensation for health problems linked to radiation exposure from the Atomic Weapons Program. I spoke with USA TODAY Breaking News Reporter Karissa Waddick to learn more. Karissa, thanks for joining me today. Karissa Waddick: Yeah, thanks for having me. Taylor Wilson: Let's go back to the Trinity test. What kind of exposure did folks in this area face? Karissa Waddick: So the Trinity test, as you know, was the first time a nuclear bomb was ever detonated. It was detonated in an area of New Mexico that scientists thought was pretty remote, pretty isolated from people, and they chose the location because of the relatively predictable wind patterns. They also kept the test completely secret, even to residents in the area. And so there are a lot of stories out there of people who heard the thunderous roar that morning, July the 16th 1945. And the flash of light, and they looked from their yards, and they saw this giant mushroom cloud in the sky. And they had no clue what it was. The reports talk about this flower-like debris falling on everything. And that was actually radioactive material. It fell into crops, into water supplies, onto laundry lines, everything. So people ingested these radioactive materials and became sick years later. Within the next couple of decades, people living in these areas of New Mexico, within 40 or so miles of the test site became sick with rare forms of cancer and other serious illnesses. Taylor Wilson: So Karissa, the government publicly downplayed the potential consequences of the nuclear bomb test for people in this area, right? I mean, how so? Karissa Waddick: They kept it completely secret. Nobody was told before it happened, and nobody knew really what it was until after the US dropped the atomic bomb a month later on Hiroshima in Japan. The day of the test, the military said the explosion involved pyrotechnics. But in the initial reports after the test, there was this physicist who was in charge of the safety aspects for personnel on site. And he said in a letter to one of the military officials that radiation was found near homes. He recommended that the next test be conducted at least 150 miles away from populated areas. And to give some context on that, hundreds of thousands of people lived within the 150-mile range of the Trinity test. And so it wasn't until 1979, it was actually elite Senator Edward Kennedy from Massachusetts who said during a hearing in Congress that the federal government had minimized the effect of the fallout from the Trinity test for years. And some of these reports came out. Taylor Wilson: Who did you speak with for this story Karissa, and what did you take away from those conversations? Karissa Waddick: I spoke with some descendants of people who live in the Tularosa Basin in New Mexico, which was about 40 miles away from the test site. There's this one woman, Edna K. Hinkle, her father Jess, who is still alive, he's 94 years old. He lived in the Tularosa Basin, and he was 14 years old when the bomb went off. Fast-forward years later, and at least 25 members of Hinkle's family descended from her father and his five siblings have had some form of cancer, from thyroid cancer to stomach cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer. Edna, she had beat breast cancer, and had seven skin cancers, and had her thyroid removed at the recommendation of a doctor who said that it was better to remove it in case it became cancerous later. Taylor Wilson: A measure in the recently enacted Republican tax bill expands who is eligible for a program that compensates people who have health problems linked to radiation exposure from the Atomic Weapons Program. What can you tell us about this recent development? Karissa Waddick: You're exactly right. Congress passed the Radiation Exposure Compensation Act a couple of decades ago, but it previously only applied to people who are living in certain parts of Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. And it didn't include people who are impacted by the Trinity test in New Mexico, or some uranium miners who are living on Navajo lands in Arizona and some other areas. So the new law expands the number of people who are eligible to a slew of new states. It includes all of Utah, New Mexico and Idaho, and more people living in Nevada, Arizona, Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alaska. And it also includes a number of other people who worked in uranium mines as well throughout the later part of the 20th century. And the new act also increases the amount of compensation, so people who are eligible could receive up to $100,000 from the federal government for the health related problems that were linked to the exposure. Taylor Wilson: All right. Well, I want to get a better sense of the tangible impact on the lives of some of these folks. What impact will this money have on their lives, Karissa? What did you hear from some folks you spoke with? Karissa Waddick: Edna, who I spoke about earlier, she mentioned just how many people this affects in her area of New Mexico. And she talked about how that area is relatively poor. New Mexico is one of the poorest states in the country, and people there to pay for their medical bills can be difficult sometimes. And I mentioned that one of her neighbors needed to pull together money to take a car ride up to Albuquerque to get medical treatment. She said that the $100,000 would be life-changing. It would essentially feel like millions of dollars to some people in this area. Taylor Wilson: Important story here. Folks should go check out the full version with the link in today's show notes. Karissa Waddick covers breaking news for USA TODAY. Thanks, Karissa. Karissa Waddick: Thanks so much. ♦ Taylor Wilson: It's nearly 10 billion light years away, and you won't see it in the night sky, but the collision of two massive black holes detected in 2023 has created a third one, with 225 times the mass of our sun, the largest black hole merger ever charted. The event has astrophysicists, rewriting record books and rethinking theories on how objects form in space. The collision is especially noteworthy, because the two black holes were larger than those in previous collisions. The two black holes were spinning at about 400 times faster than the Earth's rotation when they collided billions of years ago. You can read more with an awesome graphic story by clicking a link in today's show notes. ♦ The Emmy nominations are here. Drama Severance led the way with 27 nods followed by The Penguin with 24, and The Studio and The White Lotus tied for third place. Meanwhile, eighty-three-year-old Harrison Ford earned his first Emmy nod for his role as the ornery therapist on the show Shrinking. There were plenty left on the outside though, including Squid Game. The massively popular show was an Emmy darling in its first season, grabbing a best drama series nomination and a trophy for star Lee Jung-jae. But the second season of the series, which streamed in December of 2024, couldn't score a nomination in a single category. You can take a look at some of our nomination takeaways with a link in today's show notes. ♦ And later today, discussions of body positivity online have shifted back toward unrealistic weight loss goals, despite efforts by TikTok and other platforms to ban such content. Alyssa Goldberg: Now it feels like with the skinny talk, the skinny influencer, it's becoming more normalized again to be able to show this desire for thinness and go to extreme measures to get there. Taylor Wilson: USA TODAY Wellness Reporter Alyssa Goldberg sits down with my colleague Dana Taylor, to look at how diet culture is evolving, and why it's newest trends on social media are even harder to stop. You can hear their conversation today, beginning at four PM Eastern Time right here on this feed. ♦ And thanks for listening to The Excerpt. You can get the podcast wherever you get your audio, and if you're on a smart speaker, just ask for The Excerpt. I'm Taylor Wilson, and I'll be back tomorrow with more of The Excerpt from USA TODAY.

Mark Latham's NSW Parliament office used to record sex tapes: sources
When asked, Latham did not dispute the claims or deny the existence of such videos. 'You're asking me to dispute something I haven't seen,' Latham said in a text. 'Is this really today's journalism? Grow up. You're obviously a clown.' Loading The former One Nation MP posted on X that it was a 'regular request' by 'sick puppies'. Matthews' lawyer declined to comment as the matter was before the courts. The couple's relationship ended on May 27, the day Latham was involved in a vote to decide the future of Rosehill Gardens racecourse. On radio, Latham referred to the break-up as 'that horrendous night' and said he had no contact with her since, other than returning some possessions and the pair retaining a small part-ownership of a trotting horse. Matthews, a Liberal Party member and former OnlyFans creator who according to LinkedIn runs an e-commerce global logistics firm, claims Latham pressured her into depraved acts and drove his car at her, with his side mirror hitting her and 'causing a bruise'. '[Latham's alleged acts] including defecating on me before sex and refusing to let me wash, forcing degrading sexual acts, pressuring me to engage in sexual acts with others, demanding I call him 'master', telling me I was his property, and repeatedly telling me that my only value to him was for sex to demean and control me,' her court document reads. This masthead does not suggest that the claims against Latham are true, only that they have been made. Speaking on Sydney's 2SM on Wednesday, Latham also addressed explicit messages between the couple published in the Daily Telegraph on Tuesday, which were sent while the former One Nation MP was sitting in the parliamentary chamber. Latham claimed they were 'edited' and lacked context. 'Sitting there listening to Penny Sharpe droning on, and then a woman who looks like Nathalie Matthews sends you a message. Which one would you pay attention to?' Latham said. Latham told 2SM that his record as an MP 'matches up against anyone in the upper house'. Mark Latham with his former partner Nathalie Matthews in 2024. Credit: Instagram 'The big news is I had a private life,' he said. 'I had a sex life that I've got to say was fantastic.' Latham described the leaked messages as part of 'some personal or political campaign to try and damage me'. Premier Chris Minns said he 'hopes the truth comes out' in court about Latham. When asked if it was appropriate for members of parliament to be sending lewd texts during a session at parliament, Minns said it was a 'pretty basic expectation' that members be focused on their constituents when at work. Loading 'These are serious allegations, if they are to be tested in court or some other judiciary that should take place. I think it's important that the public knows I'm focused on them, and I hope this is investigated and that the truth comes out.' Acting Opposition Leader Damien Tudehope defended working with Latham to devise amendments to key pieces of legislation, saying the MP's actions do not undermine his good ideas. 'Now I might not agree with what Mark Latham is alleged to have done or what he has admitted to have done, but that does not mean that I am precluded, or anyone is precluded, from assessing a policy position in terms of its objective merit,' Tudehope said. 'The opposition will continue to deal with anyone who puts forward policy proposals, and it doesn't matter who they are.' When parliament resumes in August, Sharpe, Labor's leader in the upper house, will move to refer Latham to the privileges committee after he used parliamentary privilege to share private information from a psychologist's report about rival MP Alex Greenwich. Matthews had approached NSW Police seeking an AVO against Latham weeks ago, but investigators declined to pursue it on her behalf. She is pursuing the matter as a private AVO. The businesswoman has also taken an AVO out against her former husband, Ross Matthews. The pair separated this year, and Ross Matthews is facing criminal charges over allegations he called her 200 times between April and June this year. Court documents allege he used a 'raised voice' and was 'speaking aggressively over the phone'. '[It] left her feeling shaken and scared,' documents claim. Loading During that time, Ross Matthews had taken civil action against Matthews in the NSW Supreme Court in March before the matter concluded in late May. Ross Matthews, on X, pinned a post saying 'I do not talk to Nathalie and I do not care' while requesting a halt to messages. The AVO hearing between Matthews and Ross will take place in Sydney's Downing Centre Court in late July, one week before the hearing against Latham. Matthews enlisted NSW Liberal Party vice president and Hawkesbury Council Deputy Mayor Sarah McMahon to act as her lawyer in the case against Latham.

JENI O'DOWD: AI boyfriends, OnlyFans and 1000 hookups a year — Welcome to the era of performative intimacy
Remember Bonnie Blue? The British sex worker who flew into Australia to 'party' with teenage boys at Schoolies until her visa was cancelled? Her latest stunt got cancelled as well, a planned 24-hour bondage 'petting zoo' inside a glass box in London. The public backlash got there first. And she's been booted off OnlyFans for good. So what's next for a woman who built a brand on provocation? Probably a livestream. Possibly a meltdown. Because this isn't about female empowerment, it's about escalation. Porn as performance. Intimacy as spectacle. And it's what happens when we replace love with clicks and intimacy with metrics. How far will people go for attention? Just ask Annie Knight, the Australian creator who recently claimed to have slept with 1000 men in a year. One of those stunts involved 583 men in a single day. She ended up in the hospital. But the headlines kept coming, which I guess was the goal. But we are not just selling sex. We're now selling simulated closeness. Emotional proximity for the price of a monthly app. And it doesn't stop with porn. Meet the AI boyfriend. He's good-looking. He stares lovingly into your phone. He tells you what you want to hear. 'You don't have to do this alone. I've got you.' He never fights. Never forgets. Never leaves. Replika, one of the most popular AI companion apps, had more than 30 million users worldwide by the end of 2024. Newer players like HeraHaven racked up over a million downloads within months, while Google searches for 'AI boyfriend' surged by 700 per cent in just a year. This isn't some fringe tech fad. According to a January 2025 industry forecast, the global AI companion market is expected to grow from $2.7 billion in 2024 to $24.5 billion by 2034, representing an annual growth rate of nearly 25 per cent. Apps like APOB AI, Talkie and Glimpse let women create the ultimate boyfriend fantasy — responsive, devoted and emotionally fluent. Millions of women are watching these videos, replying 'I love you,' and posting fake holiday snaps with partners who don't exist. TikTok's #aiboyfriend tag now has nearly 90,000 posts, with many featuring 'soft boyfriend' role plays that garner millions of views. Because the boyfriend might be fake, but the dopamine hit is real. The Australian Psychological Society warns about the illusions of intimacy. 'We're just too complex,' says APS president Sara Quinn, in an interview with ABC News. 'It requires the ability for complex contextual judgements that AI at this stage just isn't equipped to handle.' Dr Raffaele Ciriello, a University of Sydney researcher studying AI-human interaction, flags a darker side. 'They have all the incentives to get users hooked and dependent… (but) they fail to be conscious, empathic or actually caring,' he told ABC Science earlier this month. American sociologist Sherry Turkle, in her book Alone Together, refers to it as 'artificial intimacy,' the illusion of companionship without the discomfort of genuine connection. 'We are lonely but fearful of intimacy. Digital connections and the sociable robot offer the illusion of companionship without the demands of friendship,' she says. Even journaling has gone synthetic. AI apps like Woebot and Mindsera encourage users to 'open up' to bots who reply with empathy-laced, algorithmic therapy. It's sold as self-care. But it's just more outsourcing. In 2025, 63 per cent of Australian men under the age of 30 are single, and nearly half of the women in the same age group are too. Choosing to be single isn't the problem. Life can be powerful and joyful when it's on your terms. The issue is what we're replacing a real connection with. Who needs an awkward first date or to meet your friends at a bar in the middle of winter when your couch is warm and you can easily access your AI companion? People are creating partners who never say no. They are watching OnlyFans creators who pretend to love them and talking to AI therapists who never roll their eyes. If we continue like this, we'll lose the ability to handle anything substantial. Anything that requires effort or pushes back.
