Lindsay Lohan Explains Why She Feels Safe In Dubai
Lindsay Lohan is opening up about the peace she found after leaving Hollywood for a quieter and more private life in Dubai. As you might know, Lindsay skyrocketed to fame when she was just 12 years old in Disney's The Parent Trap. She became a teen icon thanks to her natural acting ability, likable personality, and signature orange hair, appearing in movies like Freaky Friday, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, and the now-cult-classic Mean Girls. But as her fame grew, so did public scrutiny. Paparazzi followed Lindsay everywhere and tabloids documented her every move, from clubbing and dating to missteps like legal woes — and eventually, it became too much. In 2014, Lindsay decided to make the move to Dubai, where she now resides with her husband, Bader Shammas, and their 2-year-old son, Luai. In a recent appearance on LIVE with Kelly and Mark, Lindsay opened up about the "very normal life" she now has after leaving the states for the UAE. Of Dubai, she said, "It's far away from Hollywood. And I live a very normal life. There's no worry of like, I can't go eat at this place because someone's gonna take a picture of my son. It's just...I feel very safe." Confirming the paparazzi is "not legal" there, Lindsay explained, "You can't even take a picture of someone else if you're at a restaurant. You have to ask the person." Viewers couldn't help but notice how radiant and refreshed Lindsay looked in the interview and how fulfilled she appeared while discussing her life in Dubai. Commenting under the video, one person wrote, "She disappeared and came back STUNNING!! So happy for her. She looks healthy." Another comment, with over 200,000 likes, said, "She healed because she left America. It makes sense now." "Good for her!" a third viewer exclaimed. "She is living her best life! I love that. She said it's far away from Hollywood lol." While another said, "She is literally glowing and I love this for her." A different person said, "Lindsay's glow up must be studied," as another viewer called it "the best glow up story" they've ever seen. Some also took a moment to discuss the cruel treatment Lindsay faced, particularly from invasive paparazzi. One person even declared they should be outlawed everywhere. "Taking pictures of strangers in public should be illegal anywhere. It's very odd!" read the comment, receiving over 65,000 likes. Another agreed, "Paparazzi should be criminalized. Leave famous people alone." And of course, because the internet is the internet, there was also some side-eye for Mark Consuelos for awkwardly steering the conversation away from her life in Dubai to ask Lindsay, a New York native, a question about pizza. "Dude heard she got away from 'Hollweird' and asked if she found pizza," one user wrote as another joked, "'I'm safe now' — 'Do you have good pizza?' What?????" Watch the moment above, and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

Natasha Richardson's Death Explained Amid Liam Neeson And Pamela Anderson Dating
If the reports are to be believed, Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson are dating! Yesterday, People published a story claiming that Pamela, 58, and Liam, 73, are enjoying a 'budding romance in the early stages.' 'It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other,' an inside source said, adding that they're loving each other's company. The news comes after tons of speculation about Pamela and Liam's off-screen chemistry on their global promo tour for The Naked Gun, which hits theaters on Aug. 1. Neither of them has explicitly confirmed the romance; however, they've certainly made no secret of their affection for one another during interviews and on red carpets. Notably, at the New York premiere for The Naked Gun on Monday, Pamela and Liam were joined by their respective sons, who are all aged between 27 and 30. The six of them posed for pictures like one big happy family, fueling a lot of interest in the potential romance. It's certainly safe to say that the majority of fans are very happy about this possible Hollywood union — not only because they make an adorable pair, but because both Pamela and Liam have endured a lot in the public eye. As you'll probably know, Pamela has experienced sexual abuse, exploitation, and harassment, both as a child and in adulthood. Most famously, she was violated on a global scale after the non-consensual distribution of her stolen sex tape in the 1990s. The ordeal tarnished her career for much of the 2000s and left her deeply traumatized, while her ex-husband, Tommy Lee, who also appeared in the stolen footage, was lauded as a sex symbol. 'You can't put a monetary number on the amount of pain and suffering it caused,' she said in her 2023 documentary. You can read more about Pamela's journey here. Meanwhile, Liam experienced deep trauma in a different way following the death of his wife of 14 years, Natasha Richardson, in 2009. With all this in mind, Pamela and Liam's respective histories have been a major talking point among fans amid the news of their reported romance. On X, one post with over 37,000 likes read: 'Liam Neeson dating again after Natasha's death in 2009? He's finally moving forward and finding that happiness in life and I love that for him. And Pamela being through as much as she has? Shoot, they found each other. Glad they're happy.'Another popular post said: 'Liam Neeson finding happiness with Pamela after how painful losing Natasha Richardson was and how long he went saying he couldn't see himself in a relationship again is so beautiful.' While Pamela's past romantic relationships have played out quite publicly, Liam has maintained a lot of privacy surrounding his personal life. So, for those who may need it, here's a bit of context on his marriage to Natasha, and what he's said about life and relationships since her death. Liam and Natasha — the Tony-award winning actor you'll probably know best from movies like The Parent Trap, Maid in Manhattan, and Wild Child — met in 1993 while starring opposite one another on Broadway. The pair married the following year and went on to welcome two sons, Micheál and Daniel, in 1995 and 1996. Liam and Natasha were happily married throughout the 2000s, until tragedy struck in March 2009. While skiing on a beginner's slope with an instructor in Quebec, Natasha slipped and fell. At first, the injury seemed minor, and she reportedly brushed off the idea of being taken to the hospital. However, it soon became clear that she was very unwell, and she was evacuated to a hospital in Montreal, where her husband flew in from a movie set in Toronto to be by her side. Speaking to Anderson Cooper in 2014, Liam recalled his final phone call with his wife before she was taken to the hospital: 'She said, 'Oh darling. I've taken a tumble in the snow.' That's how she described it.' When he arrived at the hospital, Liam was shown an X-ray of the injury and informed that Natasha was 'brain dead.' 'And you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to see what was happening,' he recalled. According to the Taken star, he and Natasha 'made a pact' that if either of them ever 'got into a vegetative state that [they'd] pull the plug.' In that same interview, Liam remembered being with her in the hospital: 'She was on life support… and [I] told her I loved her. Said, 'Sweetie, you're not coming back from this. You've banged your head. ... And we're bringing you back to New York. All your family and friends will come.'' At this point in the timeline, Natasha was reportedly transported back to New York, where she died surrounded by Liam and their family. Liam suddenly became a single parent to two sons and threw himself into work to help with the grief, making 20 movies in the five years after Natasha died. 'I'm not good without work. I just don't— I wallow too much. You know? And I just didn't want to— especially for my boys, to be— seem to be wallowing in sadness or depression,' he said in that same 2014 interview, adding that having a schedule helps 'a great deal.' 'Grief's like— it hits you. It's like a wave,' he added, admitting that Natasha's death sometimes doesn't feel real. 'You just get this profound feeling of instability. You feel like a three-legged table. Just suddenly you just— the Earth isn't stable anymore. And then it passes and becomes more infrequent, but I still get it sometimes.' When asked about single-parenthood, Liam detailed a pivotal moment between Bono and his older son, Micheál, when the U2 frontman was visiting their home after Natasha's death. 'I remember he was sitting beside Micheál and, just out of the blue, he said, 'What age are you, Micheál?' Micheál said, '13.' And he said, 'Yeah, that's the age I was when I lost my mum,'' he remembered. 'That was it. And I could've kissed him for it. He was, like, saying, 'You know, I lost my mom at this age and I'm doing OK. And you will do OK too.'' Since then, Liam has only spoken about Natasha's death on a few occasions. In 2020, he said he still speaks to his wife every day while visiting her grave near their home. 'I go down there quite often,' he told 'So I do speak to her as if she's here. Not that she answers me.' In terms of dating, Liam has only been in one public relationship since Natasha died. He dated a UK-based public relations executive called Freya St. Johnston for two years before they split in 2012. Notably, in 2024, Liam said he was done with dating, telling People: 'I'm past all that.' And here we are. I don't know about you, but — if the dating reports are true — I'm so pleased for Liam and Pamela. They've both been through so much and deserve all the happiness!

Dennis Quaid, 71, offers rare comment on marriage to Lauren Savoie, 32
Almost 30 years after Dennis Quaid shocked his fictional daughter Hallie with an age-gap relationship in "The Parent Trap," the actor is opening up about his own intergenerational love. Quaid, 71, offered a rare insight into his relationship with wife Laura Savoie, 32, in a recent interview with Fox News Digital. The pair tied the knot in 2020 after getting engaged the year prior. "My life is paradise," Quaid told the outlet in an article published July 28. "Every day is paradise with her. It really is. "It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody. Every day is paradise. What can I tell you?" the "Playing for Keeps" actor confessed. "I don't know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but (I'm) really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers." Why 'Reagan' star Dennis Quaid is nostalgic for 'liberal Republicans' As for their 39-year age gap, Quaid thinks other people are more concerned than the two of them. "I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have," he told Fox News Digital last year. "I really don't think about it. She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life." This is Quaid's fourth marriage. He was previously married to actress P.J. Soles in 1978. After the pair's divorce in 1983, he tied the knot with Meg Ryan, with whom he shares one son, fellow actor Jack Quaid. Their marriage lasted a decade and, after divorcing in 2001, he remarried, saying "I do" with real estate broker Kimberly Buffington in 2004. He and Buffington share twins Thomas and Zoe. Meg Ryan on love, aging and returning to rom-coms: 'It doesn't stop in your 20s' His love affair with Savoie surprised him as much as the next person, he told The Guardian in 2019, shortly after the couple revealed their engagement. "I didn't go out looking for an age gap or someone really younger than me," he said. "I met her at a business event and then the relationship developed. … I don't fall in love easy. But I can't let what a few people think control all that. "I've been married three times and this is the final one, I know it is," he added. "I feel like I have a real partner in life."

Dennis Quaid says marriage with 39-years-younger wife is ‘closest relationship' he's ever had
Dennis Quaid is happiest when he's with his wife, Laura Savoie. The 71-year-old actor shared what he loves most about his 32-year-old spouse during an interview Monday with Fox News Digital. 'My life is paradise,' he said. 'Every day is paradise with her. It really is.' 'It's the closest relationship I've ever had with anybody,' the Far from Heaven star added. 'What can I tell you? I don't know why God had waited so long to bring her, for her to come along, but [I'm] really glad he brought her into my life, or I walked into hers.' Quaid acknowledged that even though his wife is 39 years his junior, he doesn't really pay attention to the age gap. 'I haven't spoken out about the age difference of my wife. Other people have. But…I really don't think about it," he confessed. "She's got so much going on that, you know, I just don't notice it. She's just, she's the light of my life." 'I wasn't looking for it,' Quaid added. 'And she came along, and it's God put us together.' Quad shared similar sentiments about the age gap in the past. 'There's 30-something years between us, and we just don't even notice it,' he said during an appearance on the Today show in 2020. 'I've never related to someone in my life better than we do.' He continued: 'We have such a great relationship and you know, love finds a way, wherever it is. You never know when love is coming, who it's gonna be, and you have no control over it. We just couldn't be happier.' Quaid and Savoie tied the knot in a secret ceremony in June 2020 after a year of dating. The couple was initially meant to get married in a lavish Hawaiian wedding, but due to Covid-19 restrictions at the time, they chose to elope in California. Speaking to People after the wedding, The Parent Trap star revealed that the ceremony took place on a beach in Santa Barbara with just their pastor as a witness. 'It was beautiful,' Quaid said. 'Just looking into her eyes, she was the most stunning bride.' Savoie is Quaid's fourth wife. The Substance star was previously married to P.J. Soles from 1978 to 1983 and Meg Ryan from 1991 to 2001. Ryan and Quaid welcomed their only child, Jack, together in 1992. From 2004 to 2018, Quaid was married to Kimberly Buffington, and they now share 17-year-old twins, Thomas and Zoe. Last month, the actor gave an update about Zoe, who was working as a camp counselor in Texas during the devastating flash floods. He told Fox News Digital at the time that Zoe's camp is many miles north of Kerrville, Texas, which was hit by the catastrophic overflooding of the Guadalupe River. 'The Hill County of Texas is a magical place, especially for children going to camp there,' the Texas native said. 'It's a cherished memory you carry with you all your life. My daughter was actually a few miles away from [Camp] Mystic, further north. Thankfully, their camp was OK.'
