Swedish pop singer Zara Larsson recently came under fire for comments she made joking about a fan’s abortion.
It all started when TikTok user @honeyhazelwood shared a video of the singer performing “Midnight Sun” at one of her recent shows. Larsson is currently touring in the United States.
In a text overlay of the video, the TikTok user wrote, “i didn’t know i was pregnant here but at least my baby got to hear midnight sun before I aborted it.”
Larsson responded with a joking comment, writing, “I killed the performance and then you killed it after the performance purrrrrr.”

Their exchange inspired a negative reaction online. Later on, the singer doubled down, saying she couldn&#8217;t understand why people were so upset. “Sorry, that’s funny… Sorry if you don’t have humor,” Larsson posted in a follow-up TikTok <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@zaralarsson/video/7613900041371061526">video</a>.
“Why do you feel like abortion is only OK when it’s a very hard decision, when it’s something that women have to struggle with going through, when it’s emotionally or physically painful?” she went on. “Why does that make it morally superior to someone just wanting an abortion for whatever reason? Why is it only morally OK when women have to suffer? Now riddle me that.&#8221;
&#8220;It doesn’t have to be taboo,&#8221; Larsson insisted. &#8220;It doesn’t have to be this bad thing that women do&#8230; if we speak about it in a casual manner, that also makes [it easier for] the women who go through it and who are actually suffering through it,” she concluded. “So let’s just make more jokes. Abortion is healthcare, what can I say.”
Social media commenters, meanwhile, were not amused.
&#8220;Speaking about babies this way is demonic. The normalization of abortion’s violence is evil, and it exposes that the Left only cares that babies continue to die,&#8221; Students for Life of America <a href="https://x.com/StudentsforLife/status/2029274545149129153">shared</a> on X.
“Millions of little girls look up to Zara Larsson… and this is the example she’s setting for them. Utterly grim,” another commenter <a href="https://x.com/SamanthaTaghoy/status/2029088093077221683">agreed</a>.
“No one is celebrating abortion,” The Daily Wire host Isabel Brown mockingly <a href="https://x.com/theisabelb/status/2029019186022813930">wrote</a>, repeating a popular false assertion among the pro-abortion crowd.
Larsson started gaining recognition in American pop culture after figure skater Alysa Liu, who won the nation’s first gold medal in women’s singles since 2002, skated to her song &#8220;Stateside&#8221; at the 2026 Winter Olympics. 
The singer has been outspoken about politics, revealing her anti-Israel stance and support for left-wing causes on multiple occasions. Despite being Swedish, she has a lot to say about American politics. 
The singer wrote on her Instagram story in January, “I love immigrants, I love criminals, I love trans people, I love abortions, I love queers, I love slutty women, I love contraception, I love welfare, I love socialism, I f***ing hate ICE.”
“IDK about yall but I’d rather have someone smoking crack on my couch than a f***ing ICE agent ewwwwwwwwww,” she wrote in a follow-up, per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/01/10/zara-larsson-loves-criminals-hates-ice/">TMZ</a>. 
The White House’s official TikTok responded with a video mocking her. The post included footage of Donald Trump and had Larsson’s song “Lush Life” playing as phrases appeared, including, “We love America First … We love deportations … We love cheap gas prices … We love a secure border … We love world peace … We love law and order … We love work not welfare … WE LOVE ICE and our law enforcement!”

Pop star Britney Spears was arrested overnight in Ventura County, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence, according to multiple media reports.
The 44-year-old recording artist was stopped by the California Highway Patrol around 9:30 p.m. and booked shortly after 3 a.m. Thursday, per <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/entertainment/britney-spears-arrest">CNN</a>. Authorities reportedly listed the incident as a &#8220;cite and release,&#8221; meaning Spears was let go without bail pending a court appearance. Additional details were not immediately available. 
Spears&#8217; manager described the situation as &#8220;an unfortunate incident&#8221; that was &#8220;completely inexcusable.&#8221;
&#8220;Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law,&#8221; Spears&#8217; manager said in a statement. &#8220;Hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney&#8217;s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.&#8221;
The statement added that Spears&#8217; family is working on a plan “to set her up for success for well-being.&#8221;
The pop star shares two sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Spears was previously charged with a misdemeanor hit-and-run in 2007, which was later dismissed. She was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation the following year and was subsequently placed under a conservatorship overseen primarily by her father. That arrangement lasted 13 years before a judge terminated it in November 2021 following the fan-led &#8220;Free Britney&#8221; movement. 
Since the conservatorship ended, the “Toxic” singer has remained active on social media, where some posts have drawn concern from fans, such as posting videos of herself dancing, often scantily clad and sometimes <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/video-of-britney-spears-dancing-with-butcher-knives-sparks-concern-among-fans">with knives</a>. 
In recent months, Spears has been taking aim at her family in recent Instagram posts, claiming they’ve treated her poorly. As of Thursday, her account appeared to have been deactivated.
She had posted that she was “incredibly lucky to even be alive with how my family treated me once in my life and now I’m scared of them.&#8221;
Spears has a scheduled court appearance on May 4 in connection with the DUI allegation.

Actor Jim Carrey was trending over the weekend after an appearance at the César Awards in Paris had fans wondering if the longtime actor was replaced by a clone.
Fans took note of how the 64-year-old actor looked different, which sparked numerous theories about plastic surgery, body doubles, or some other secret plot. The rumors reached a fever pitch when drag artist Alexis Stone <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVWs5RNDHSz/?img_index=1">seemed to indicate</a> that he had impersonated Carrey at the event and posted images of prosthetics and a wig to his Instagram page.
The speculation became so intense that a spokesperson for the César Awards went on record saying it was the one and only Carrey attending the event alongside his family and friends.
“Jim Carrey’s visit has been planned since this summer,” Gregory Caulier <a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/global/jim-carry-clone-conspiracy-theory-denied-cesar-awards-speech-1236676536/">told</a> Variety in a statement. 
“From the outset, he was extremely touched by the Academy’s invitation. Eight months of ongoing, constructive discussions. He worked on his speech in French for months, asking me about the exact pronunciation of certain words,” he went on. “He came with his partner, his daughter, his grandson and 12 close friends and family members. His longtime publicist accompanied him. His old friend Michel Gondry, who has made a film and two series with him, was there, and they were delighted to see each other again.”
“For me, it’s a non-issue,” Caulier said of the clone speculation. “I just remember his generosity, his kindness, his benevolence, his elegance.” 
The “Ace Ventura: Pet Detective” star said during his speech that his family originally came from France before emigrating to Canada. “Tonight, with this magnificent honor, this square has come full circle,” Carrey told the audience upon receiving the honorary award. 
Fans were surprised by the actor’s appearance at the César Awards, which they claimed was totally different from how the actor looked and sounded at his last public appearance in November 2025 at the Rock &amp; Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. 
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560">
These two videos are 4 months apart.
You cannot tell an entire generation of people that watched this mans face on repeat for over two decades, that the person in the second video in Paris is Jim Carrey.

“4 months apart. Different eyes, different eye color, different brow shape. Teeth are different. It’s not age or surgery. Sounds different. Acts different. It’s a different person,” one X commenter noted after posting videos from both events side by side.
“I’m no conspiracy theorist but that’s not Jim Carrey,” another person agreed.

Actor Jonathan Majors will return to the screen for the first time in four years, and it will be for an as-yet-unnamed Daily Wire production.
The 36-year-old star, best known for his roles in “Creed III” (2023) and “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania” (2023), will begin working on the project this week in South Carolina, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/02/jonathan-majors-movie-comeback-daily-wire-south-carolina-1236737180/">Deadline</a>. 
Not many details are immediately available about the movie beyond the fact that it’s an action film similar to 80s and 90s classics such as “Red Dawn” and “Toy Soldiers.” Kyle Rankin (“Run Hide Fight”) wrote the screenplay and will serve as director, while Daily Wire Editor Emeritus Ben Shapiro and Dallas Sonnier of Bonfire Legend will be producing the project.
Travis Mills (“Frontier Crucible&#8221;), Lillian Campbell (“The Pendragon Cycle”), and Sydney Aucreman (“Terror On The Prairie”) will also serve as producers, the outlet noted.
TMZ founder Harvey Levin weighed in on the news, saying Majors was returning to movies after being &#8220;screwed&#8221; by Hollywood following a court case which resulted in the actor being found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment against his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, but being acquitted of other more serious charges.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
&#8220;The jury voted unanimously that it didn&#8217;t happen,&#8221; Levin said of the alleged assault in an Uber. The TMZ founder added that the Uber driver testified as well and suggested that Majors slightly pushed Jabbari into the vehicle but did not assault her in the car. &#8220;He won that case,&#8221; Levin added. &#8220;But Hollywood is so skittish that they basically banished him.&#8221;
&#8220;He&#8217;s back, and he&#8217;s a big star,&#8221; Levin said. &#8220;I gotta say, I always thought that Hollywood screwed him.&#8221;
The Daily Wire has made a notable push into entertainment through DailyWire+, releasing several feature films in various genres, including “Run Hide Fight” (2020), a thriller about a teenage girl who fights back against school shooters, which drew significant attention. 
The company also produced “Shut In” (2022), a survival thriller, and “Terror on the Prairie” (2022), a Western starring Gina Carano, who was fired from Disney’s “The Mandalorian” and ostracized from Hollywood after Lucasfilm objected to her social media posts. “Lady Ballers,” a sports comedy tackling men in women’s sports, was released in 2023.
There have also been several popular documentary films, including “What Is a Woman?” (2022), a documentary hosted by Matt Walsh that exposed the madness of left-wing gender theory. That was followed up with “Am I Racist?” (2024), another Matt Walsh documentary that dealt with affirmative action and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives.
In 2026, “The Pendragon Cycle,” an adaptation of Stephen R. Lawhead&#8217;s beloved series of novels, was released on DailyWire+. This ambitious series was done with incredible scale and production value and has been getting tremendous buzz from viewers. “Pulp Fiction” screenwriter Roger Avary <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/pulp-fiction-writer-says-the-pendragon-cycle-left-him-completely-blown-away?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=%E2%80%98Pulp+Fiction%E2%80%99+Writer+Says+%E2%80%98The+Pendragon+Cycle%E2%80%99+Left+Him+%E2%80%98Completely+Blown+Away%E2%80%99">said</a> he was “completely blown away” during an appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast earlier this month.

Robert Cosby Jr., who is the son of &#8220;The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City&#8221; star Mary Cosby, has died at the age of 23.
TMZ broke the <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/25/robert-cosby-jr-dead/">news</a> on Wednesday that Cosby Jr. died on Monday, but did not immediately reveal his cause of death. His parents, Mary and Robert Cosby Sr., told the outlet in a statement: &#8220;Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord. Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.&#8221;
The outlet noted that police responded to a possible overdose, but so far, that information is unconfirmed.
Cosby Jr. was seen on the popular reality show and discussed his substance abuse issues there, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/02/robert-cosby-jr-dead-real-housewives-of-salt-lake-city-mary-cosby-son-1236736063/">Deadline</a>. In a Season 5 episode, the reality star said he used Xanax, Adderall, acid, “Molly,” and cocaine. He also confessed to his mother that he had thoughts of suicide and self-harm in the past.
“You’re the only reason I didn’t kill myself,” he told his mom in one episode. His mother replied, “You have to know I love you more than anything, more than anything in this world. I think I love you more than dad — don’t ever tell [him] I said that. But you’re my friend, you’re my son, you’re my gift. God gave you to me. You’re the only thing that ever made me happy. Before I had you, I was never happy. You came, and you were so real. You [were] everything I hoped [for] in a person.”
Cosby Jr.’s wife, Alexiana Smokoff, filed for divorce in November 2025 following accusations of domestic violence and a restraining order. These all stemmed multiple domestic incidents, including one at Smokoff’s parents&#8217; house, leading to more than a dozen charges being filed against Cosby Jr., several of which he pleaded guilty to. The divorce was finalized earlier this year. 
&#8220;Real Housewives&#8221; executive producer Andy Cohen responded to Cosby Jr.&#8217;s death on Threads, writing, “Devastatingly sad news out of SLC. This is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart is broken for Mary, and I am sending all my love to her and Robert Sr.”

Actor Robert Carradine, best known for his roles in “Revenge of the Nerds” (1984) and the popular Disney series “Lizzie McGuire” (2001-2004), has died in Los Angeles at 71.
His family shared that he died following a “valiant struggle against his nearly two-decade battle with Bipolar Disorder.” His daughter Ever confirmed that Robert died by suicide, as the New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/24/obituaries/robert-carradine-dead.html">reported</a>.
Carradine was born in 1954 in Los Angeles to the famed Carradine family. His father John and was an actor, along with his brother David Carradine of &#8220;Kung Fu&#8221; and &#8220;Kill Bill.&#8221; His other brother Christopher was a Disney Imagineer, per <a href="https://variety.com/2026/tv/news/robert-carradine-dead-revenge-of-the-nerds-lizzie-mcguire-1236670975/v">Variety</a>. Carradine began to be recognized after appearing in the 1972 western “The Cowboys” alongside John Wayne.
Carradine got major props for his role in the Oscar-winning Vietnam War drama “Coming Home” (1978) alongside Jane Fonda and Jon Voight. He also appeared in other Hollywood projects, including “The Big Red One” (1980), “The Long Riders” (1980), “Body Bags” (1993), “Escape from L.A.” (1996), and “Django Unchained” (2012).
His brother Keith Carradine said in a statement that mental health struggles are nothing to be ashamed of. 
“We want people to know it, and there is no shame in it,” he said, per <a href="https://deadline.com/2026/02/robert-carradine-dead-age-71-1236734055/">Deadline</a>. “It is an illness that got the best of him, and I want to celebrate him for his struggle with it, and celebrate his beautiful soul. He was profoundly gifted, and we will miss him every day. We will take solace in how funny he could be, how wise and utterly accepting and tolerant he was. That’s who my baby brother was.” 
The Hollywood star was also remembered by actress Hilary Duff, who played his daughter in &#8220;Lizzie McGuire.&#8221; 
“This one hurts,” she shared on Instagram Monday night. “It’s really hard to face this reality about an old friend. There was so much warmth in the McGuire family and I always felt so cared for by my on-screen parents. I’ll be forever grateful for that. I’m deeply sad to learn Bobby was suffering. My heart aches for him, his family and everyone who loved him.”
Jake Thomas, who played Carradine’s son in “Lizzie McGuire,” also paid tribute to his late co-star with an Instagram post. 
“My heart hurts today,” the actor wrote. “I was fortunate to know Bobby for most of my life. And he was one of the coolest guys you could ever meet. Funny, pragmatic, sometimes cranky, always a little eccentric. He was a talented actor, musician and director. But more than anything, he was family. I have many fond memories of being with him and his family throughout my life. Good moments, challenging moments and lots of laughs in between.”
“I looked up to him growing up. And later, I came to realize he thought I was pretty neat, too. So I guess I was doing something right,” he concluded.
Carradine is survived by his three children.

‘Revenge of the Nerds’ Actor Robert Carradine Dies At 71

Actor Martin Short’s daughter, Katherine, has died at the age of 42, her family announced on Tuesday. 
&#8220;It is with profound grief that we confirm the passing of Katherine Hartley Short. The Short family is devastated by this loss and asks for privacy at this time. Katherine was beloved by all and will be remembered for the light and joy she brought into the world,&#8221; Katherine’s family said in a <a href="https://people.com/martin-short-daughter-katherine-dead-at-42-11913565">statement</a> to People.
Short has been a staple of Hollywood for decades, beginning with roles in sketch comedy, including “Second City Television” and “Saturday Night Live.” The Emmy Award winner, who is Canadian, is well known for his role as Franck Eggelhoffer in “Father of the Bride” (1991) and its sequel.
The actor has co-starred in the Hulu comedy series “Only Murders in the Building” alongside Steve Martin and Selena Gomez since 2021, a role that earned him an Emmy nomination, a Golden Globe nomination, a Critics&#8217; Choice Television Award, and a SAG Award.
Katherine was adopted by Martin and his late wife of 30 years, Nancy Dolman. Nancy died from ovarian cancer in 2010, as People noted. The couple also shared two other adopted children.
Short’s daughter stayed mostly out of the public eye and was not involved with acting at all. Katherine was a licensed social worker at UCLA&#8217;s Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital for several years and worked part-time at a clinic doing community outreach. She appeared with her father at several events over the years. 
Per <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2026/02/24/martin-short-daughter-katherine-dead/">TMZ</a>, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to a call from a Hollywood Hills home at 6:41 p.m. on Monday for a possible suicide. The outlet noted that Katherine reportedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Short recently posted a tribute to his colleague, Catherine O’Hara, who died from a pulmonary embolism caused by cancer last month. 
“Catherine O’Hara, I met when she was 18 years of age, and all these years later, she has been the greatest, most brilliant, kindest, sweetest angel that any of us worked with,” Short said during his “The Best of Steve Martin and Martin Short” comedy show last month. “So God bless Catherine.” 
Short and Martin are scheduled to perform at their comedy show for two performances this weekend, and no information on postponements was available as of Tuesday.

Actor Robert De Niro, who is afflicted with one of the worst cases of Trump Derangement Syndrome on record, is now crying about Trump’s presidency and insisting he will “never” be gone.
The 82-year-old celeb said as much during an appearance on MS NOW host Nicolle Wallace’s podcast “The Best People.&#8221;
&#8220;People have to resist, resist, resist, resist, resist. That&#8217;s the only way. There&#8217;s no magic. There&#8217;s no nothing – people are not going to go away, even if Trump dies for some reason by having an illness or something,&#8221; De Niro said. &#8220;Parts of that movement are still there, and that&#8217;s the scary part. It has to be neutralized by the people.&#8221;
<iframe loading="lazy" title="De Niro gets EMOTIONAL on Trump’s division and REMOVING him from office when he “won’t leave”" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/cJ7WzcpPrVE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
He also called Trump an “idiot” and said, “We got to get rid of him … he’s gonna ruin the country. Everything that this country has worked for and represents.”
At another point, Wallace mentioned a speech the actor gave in 1981 about “lifting people up,” which prompted the actor to bring the conversation back to politics.
&#8220;You have to,&#8221; De Niro said as the tears flowed. &#8220;You have to lift people up. You have to bring them together. Period. You can&#8217;t divide people. You can&#8217;t win that way. It&#8217;s a no-win situation.&#8221;
&#8220;And look, what we have. Look who we have there,” he went on. “It&#8217;s almost like our destiny to have this thing they&#8217;re destroying — attempting to destroy this country and maybe not even understanding why. So it&#8217;s up to us to protect the country.&#8221;
&#8220;All I know is people have to resist, resist, resist, resist,” he repeated. “There&#8217;s no easy way. It&#8217;s not going to come to you easy. You know, there&#8217;s a time when you know in your own life and your own survival, you better do this, you better jump and run through the fire. Because if you don&#8217;t run through the fire, you&#8217;re not getting out, and that&#8217;s what we have to do.&#8221;
In the past, De Niro has made every possible criticism of Trump, insinuating that he’s a “Nazi” and questioning his humanity.
“Trump does not understand anything about humanity,” the “Raging Bull” star <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/de-niros-latest-rant-trump-is-an-alien-who-wants-to-hurt-people?author=Amanda+Harding&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=De+Niro%E2%80%99s+Latest+Rant%3A+Trump+Is+An+%E2%80%98Alien%E2%80%99+Who+%E2%80%98Wants+To+Hurt+People%E2%80%99">said</a> in October, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “He has no empathy. I don’t know what he is, but he’s an alien, and he wants to hurt this country. It’s something deeply psychological in him. He wants to hurt people.”

“The Sopranos” star Michael Imperioli suggested that the characters in the HBO crime drama would “probably” be supporters of Donald Trump if the show were made today.
“The show is about the American dream, especially through the eyes of immigrants,” the actor <a href="https://www.the-independent.com/arts-entertainment/tv/features/the-sopranos-michael-imperioli-steve-schirripa-b2919914.html">said</a> during an interview with The Independent this month. 
“I think that would be one of the big themes if it was made today: the current climate in the US and what they’re doing to immigrants,” he went on. “The fact is that these characters are all immigrants, but I think a lot of them would probably be Trump supporters, oddly enough. So how do they reconcile those things? When Italians came over – and people forget this, or they don’t want to see it – a lot of them were undocumented,” the actor went on.
Imperioli is best known for his starring role as Christopher Moltisanti in the iconic series, which many consider to be one of the greatest television shows ever made. “The Sopranos” ran for six seasons from 1999 to 2007, telling the story of mob boss Tony Soprano (James Gandolfini) trying to balance family life with his violent career path.
Imperioli was nominated for Emmy Awards four times, winning once for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama.
This isn’t the first time Trump has been mentioned in conjunction with “The Sopranos.” In 2019, series creator David Chase said Gandolfini wouldn’t be a Trump fan. 
“He would think the guy was full of [expletive],” he <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/07/arts/television/david-chase-sopranos-interview.html">told</a> The New York Times at the time. “Whether he thought he was a good president or not — I don’t know that Tony thought much about that question at all, with anybody who was in office. But I know Tony would have thought Trump was penny-ante, in terms of his lying and presentation.”
The television exec also noted that A.J. Soprano, played by Robert Iler, would have been part of the first Trump administration. 
&#8220;He might be the new chief of staff,&#8221; he told the outlet. &#8220;He&#8217;d be buddy-buddy with Stephen Miller, I know that.&#8221;
Imperioli’s comments are in direct opposition to what he was saying in 2020 when the actor posted several memes about “Sopranos” characters being Biden supporters.
“I’m taking ownership of the confusion between myself and the character and trying to control that narrative instead of letting it get away from me…. Taking these memes and the politics and just trying to say, ‘the Sopranos are woke now, and they’re campaigning for Biden,’” the actor <a href="https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2020/10/the-sopranos-joe-biden-christopher-michael-imperioli?srsltid=AfmBOooVUboLiGUhFtZeTajPeo1-VOxX27KwzuPmnUhWXEkr2bGRYZZa">told</a> Vanity Fair at the time.

Nick Reiner pleaded not guilty Monday to charges that he killed his parents, filmmaker Rob Reiner and Michele Singer Reiner.
The 32-year-old is charged with two counts of first-degree murder, with a special circumstance allegation tied to multiple homicides, per <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/nick-reiner-pleads-not-guilty-to-charges-of-murdering-parents-1236512505/">The Hollywood Reporter</a>. If convicted, he could face life in prison without parole, and Los Angeles County District Attorney Nathan Hochman has said the case is eligible for the death penalty.  
Reiner did not address the court beyond responding to routine questions during Monday&#8217;s arraignment. It remains unclear what defense strategy he will pursue. Court records and prior reporting have referenced struggles with substance abuse and mental health issues. 
The deaths of Rob and Michele Reiner, who were discovered in their home on December 14, stunned Hollywood. Their son, Nick, was charged with their murders shortly afterward. Witnesses have alleged he was behaving erratically at a party hosted by Conan O&#8217;Brien shortly before the killings. 
Nick Reiner’s two siblings, Romy, 28, and Jake, 34, issued a statement after their brother’s first court appearance.
 “Words cannot even begin to describe the unimaginable pain we are experiencing every moment of the day. The horrific and devastating loss of our parents, Rob and Michele Reiner, is something that no one should ever experience. They weren’t just our parents; they were our best friends.”
According to police documents, when Romy discovered her parents&#8217; bodies, she told responding officers that her brother had been living in the home and described him as “dangerous.”
Last month, Reiner’s attorney, Alan Jackson, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nick-reiner-loses-high-profile-attorney-ahead-of-arraignment-public-defender-appointed">withdrew from the case</a> for undisclosed reasons. 
Jackson is known for taking on high-profile matters, including cases involving actor Kevin Spacey and disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein. He recently represented Karen Read, who was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/karen-read-acquitted-of-murdering-cop-boyfriend">acquitted</a> in the death of her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe.
Jackson told reporters he could not “legally or ethically” disclose what had changed, but said he had spent “literally every waking hour” reviewing the case.

Actor Dennis Quaid said his former party has left him behind and that Hollywood has swayed far to the Left, along with the rest of the Democrats.
The actor made the remarks during an appearance last week on “The Greg Laurie Show” podcast. 
“Things have gone so extremely, so far left right now. I saw a podcast — it was Bill Maher and Dana Carvey, and I’m forgetting the other guy’s name — but anyway, I think it was Dana Carvey [who] said, ‘I’ve told my friends in Hollywood I’m a Clinton Democrat, and some of them are calling me a Nazi now,’” Laurie suggested.
“You can’t do that,” Quaid replied, adding that these days, being a Clinton-era Democrat is the “same thing as being a neo-con, on the right side or whatever. What used to be, you can’t be anymore.”
The “Reagan” actor doesn’t consider himself a Republican but instead said, “I’m a common-sense independent,” who also leans “more conservative in my head.”
“I’m just for common sense, is really what I am,” Quaid added.

Laurie said he believed Trump was “very personable, incredibly funny, a good listener, and [a] surprisingly approachable person.”
Quaid agreed that the president is “surprisingly approachable and very funny. And really genuine. He wouldn’t be president if he wasn’t genuine. The people who voted for him, they know that he has their best interests at heart, that he is a genuine person.”
“I’ve never seen anybody with that kind of energy,” the actor went on. “People say that about me, but he’s really got a lot of energy.”
“We’re going through a spiritual revolution,” Quaid said later in the interview. “I’m not talking Republican and Democrat … but I am talking about those two coming together.”
Quaid made headlines in 2024 after <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/dennis-quaids-reagan-loved-by-audiences-hated-by-critics">starring</a> in the biopic “Reagan” about the former Republican president, which was yet another film that had a vast disparity between audience score and critical reviews.
When urging fans to see “Reagan,” the actor said, “If you were born before 1985, you’ll be able to remember how great this country was. And if you were born after 1985, you can see how great this country still can be.”
“He was also my favorite president,” Quaid said just after the movie premiered.

‘Really Genuine’: Hollywood Star Praises Trump, Says Tinseltown Has Gone Too Far Left

Dennis Quaid Calls Trump 'Really Genuine,' Says Hollywood Has Gone Too Far Left

Actor Eric Dane, best known for his role on “Grey’s Anatomy,” has died at the age of 53, just one year after announcing his ALS diagnosis.
The star’s family confirmed his passing with a <a href="https://people.com/eric-dane-dead-greys-anatomy-star-was-53-11717334">statement</a> shared with People. “With heavy hearts, we share that Eric Dane passed on Thursday afternoon following a courageous battle with ALS,&#8221; it said. &#8220;He spent his final days surrounded by dear friends, his devoted wife, and his two beautiful daughters, Billie and Georgia, who were the center of his world.&#8221;
&#8220;Throughout his journey with ALS, Eric became a passionate advocate for awareness and research, determined to make a difference for others facing the same fight. He will be deeply missed, and lovingly remembered always. Eric adored his fans and is forever grateful for the outpouring of love and support he’s received. The family has asked for privacy as they navigate this impossible time.”
Dane, who was born in San Francisco, started acting on a whim and loved it. He got his start with guest roles on popular shows including “Saved by the Bell,” “The Wonder Years,” “Roseanne,” “Married With Children,” and “Silk Stalkings” before becoming a household name playing Dr. Mark Sloan, nicknamed “McSteamy,” on &#8220;Grey&#8217;s Anatomy&#8221; beginning in 2006. He also had a major role in “Euphoria.”
The actor was married to actress Rebecca Gayheart since 2004 and the pair had two children together. Gayheart had previously filed for divorce in 2018, but called it off in 2025, saying she and Dane were still “best of friends,” as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/euphoria-greys-anatomy-actor-diagnosed-with-als">reported</a>.
ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord, leading to loss of muscle control. Over time, individuals with ALS may lose the ability to speak, move, eat, and breathe independently.
ALS has no cure, and people who receive this diagnosis usually only live three to five years after symptoms start.
