When attending the 74th Annual ACE Eddie Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, Ricki Lake continued to confidently display her slimmed down frame. Mink Stole, a 55-year-old actress who recently completed her amazing 30lb weight loss in just four months, was reunited with Cry-Baby co-star Mink Stole as well as director John Waters at the celebration. She denied taking Ozempic late last month, and she and her partner, Ross Burningham, lost weight "without relying on a pharmaceutical." (Not that there is anything wrong with that)'

As he heard a song that brought him to instinct, marine veteran John Waters was at a fundraiser for a local opera singer. The 37-year-old had been out of service for four years, plying his trade as an advocate in his hometown Nebraska and struggling to adapt even though he was deemed "off." In Afghanistan and Iraq, the father-of-three had served in the Marines for six years. He was a ground intelligence officer in Afghanistan, where he found militants with pinpoint accuracy before they were captured or killed. Later, he became a sniper platoon commander with an infantry battalion, but he left his service fortifying the US embassy in Baghdad, where ISIS was on the rise. When he discovered himself at the party in the lavish home of one of the law firm's senior partners, he was adjusting to a new way of suburban life, corporate events, and lunch meetings.

On Monday, the exemplary filmmaker John Waters was inducted as a guest on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Ricki Lake, the director of cult classics such as Polyester, Crybaby, and Pink Flamingos, was honoured at the launch by the director of his 1988 film Hairspray.

EXCLUSIVE: As police in England investigate why the 56-year-old singer was discovered dead, Kala Jackson Craft said Sinéad tracked her down after she learned she was raped. "I was assaulted by a well-known businessman and then assaulted by his son, and after Sinéad heard about it in the newspaper, she tracked me down.' 'I was very, very traumatized.' I was a wounded human being, and nobody was able to tell me or believe what had happened to me as soon as they heard the name of the person who did it.'

Roisin, the late writer, was embroiled in a bitter breakup with the author (both left in 1996) and compelled to deny she was a "bad mother" in a high-profile custody dispute over their daughter Roisin, who is now 27. Roisin is known as a pastry chef in Ireland, but she also plays guitar and singer, appearing on television (right) and as one of her backing singers at gigs and festivals. Her parents were only together for about a year, and she was taken up by her journalist father after a long custody fight that began in 1999 after O'Connor attempted suicide. Since she told police and social workers that she had mistreated Roisin, the singer threatened to sue Mr Waters. However, social services had cleared her. 'I am not a bad mother,' she said at the time. I am not giving up arrest for the wrong reason, but not for the reason. I've been a good mother to Roisin, and John Waters acknowledges it.' Her followers have chastised him in particular. One wrote on Twitter: 'I wonder if John Waters had learned even a tiny bit from Sinead's beautiful soul would he be different today?' 'Sinead O'Connor and John Waters' being together would make sense,' another said.

In 1990, the Irish singer rose to fame around the world thanks to her heartrending cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U.

Fair warning: Emma D'Arcy's Golden Globes glam ends in tears. The "House of the Dragon" actress shed the most beautiful tear we've ever seen at the 2023 Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 1023. A single shimmering teardrop fell from their eye in a complementary shade of blue, transforming their signature short hair from fiery red to a deep indigo. Holly Silius, D'Arcy's makeup artist, got most of the ideas for this emotional look from John Waters' "Cry Baby" film. "I studied him for my dissertation at a university, so I always go back to these raw images for personal inspiration of resistance and paving your own way," Silius said in a press release.

John Waters admitted that he once bumped into the late Angela Lansbury at a New York City sex club that catered to 'gay and straight perverts alike.' In his 2019 book Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder, the Hairspray director, 76, first remembered seeing the legendary actress, who died at 96 in the eighties. 'It may have been the only night she was ever there,' the filmmaker told Page Six, 'but just her presence made Hellfire a little more welcoming.'

Bill Maher, a host of a liberal talk show, said there was a "conspiracy to get rid of" ex-president Donald Trump that involved hiding the New York Times' infamous Hunter Biden laptop story. During Maher's appearance on Friday's version of his hit HBO show 'Real Time,' he made his remarks.' The New York Post announced a highly researched article in October 2020 claiming that Hunter's laptop had been recovered by the FBI. According to reports, President Joe Biden's son was attempting to sell the prestige of his father. Sam Harris was on a podcast, and now that all the mainstream media has accepted it as a true story, not pussyfoot on this.' Maher went on: "I mean, most political sons do." ... Hunter Biden's laptop was buried by the press, and Jack Dorsey, who was also the face of Twitter, said it was a mistake. They buried the tale because they remembered what happened with James Comey and the letter 11 days before the 2016 election.' 'Sam Harris wrote that it was appropriate for Twitter and the heads of major tech and journalism organisations to feel that they were in the presence of something that is a once-in-a-lifetime moral crisis,' the former Politically Incorrect host said. 'Well, he's said that getting rid of someone as bad as Trump is fine,' Maher said.

Dakota Brooke, 30, a Las Vegas sideshow performer, says she's'sexier' after growing her bears after a painful shave, waxing, and fear.

Dakota's facial hair color is uncertain, but medics suspect it could be because of her adrenal glands' elevated levels of testosterone.
