Broadway actress Sutton Foster is divorcing her screenwriter husband Ted Griffin amid rumors of a romance with her former co-star Hugh Jackman, according to the New York Post’s Page Six. The Younger actress reportedly filed for an uncontested divorce on Tuesday in New York County Supreme Court after 10 years of marriage. Page Six quotes “multiple sources” saying that Foster, 49, and Jackman, 56, who starred together in The Music Man, have fallen in love. “They are 100 percent together and are in love and want to spend the rest of their lives together,” a source previously told the outlet. Jackman filed for divorce from Deborra-Lee Furness, his wife of 27 years, in September 2023, releasing a statement: “We have been blessed to share almost three decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage. Our journey now is shifting, and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.” Griffin, the screenwriter for Ocean’s Eleven, married Tony-winner Foster in Santa Barbara, California in October 2014. The couple have a daughter, seven, they adopted in 2017.

Former GOP Rep. Fred Upton Backs Harris: Trump Is ‘Just Totally Unhinged’
‘CHAOS’

Fred Upton, the Republican former Michigan congressman who spent 36 years in the House, announced Thursday that he’s endorsing Kamala Harris for president. Upton, who retired two years ago after becoming one of just 10 House Republicans who voted to impeach Donald Trump after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, told The Detroit News that the former president hasn’t “changed his colors.” “Watching Trump day after day, he’s ignored the advice of many senior, respected Republicans to stay on the issues,” the 71-year-old said. “Instead, he’s still talking about the election being stolen, trashing women left and right. He’s just totally unhinged. We don’t need this chaos. We need to move forward, and that’s why I’m where I am.” Upton said he’s already cast his ballot for Harris, marking the first time he’s ever voted to elect a Democrat president. Trump celebrated in 2022 when Upton announced his retirement, but one of his campaign spokespeople was dismissive about news of his endorsement for Harris on Thursday. “Any ‘Republican’ campaigning for another four years of unfettered illegal immigration and rising prices under Kamala Harris is neither Republican nor worth listening to,” said Victoria LaCivita, communications director for the Trump campaign in Michigan.

Hallmark Wanted to Fire ‘Old’ Xmas Queen Lacey Chabert, 42
LEAVE LACEY ALONE!

An executive at the Hallmark Channel wanted to replace Lacey Chabert, the studio’s reigning Queen of Christmas, because the 42-year-old was getting too “old,” Variety reported. The studio’s vice president for programming, Lisa Hamilton Daly, told staff to stop casting “old talent” and to replace stars Holly Robinson Peete, 60, and Chabert, according to an age-discrimination lawsuit filed by a former Hallmark casting director. “Lacey’s getting older and we have to find someone like her to replace her as she gets older,” Hamilton Daly allegedly said. She also reportedly called Peete “too expensive” and “too old” to play leading rules. In a statement to Variety, the studio denied what it called “outrageous allegations,” saying, “Lacey and Holly have a home at Hallmark.” After breaking out as a child star in Party of Five and then playing teen royalty Gretchen Wiener in the early-aughts hit Mean Girls, Chabert began appearing in Hallmark movies and eventually began producing her own projects. She has since become one of the studio’s most bankable leads, starring in 40 movies to date—many of them Christmas-themed. Other studios have also embraced her holiday appeal. She stars in the upcoming Netflix film Hot Frosty, in which Chabert’s character falls for a big-hearted snowman who comes to life—and who also happens to be ripped. Peete has also done her fair share of Christmas movies for Hallmark, along with a reality TV series about her family.

Another Former Trump Official Warns He’s an ‘Authoritarian’

Another former Trump administration official is warning that the former president has “authoritarian tendencies,” asserting he “does not follow the rule of law.” Elizabeth Neumann, the former deputy chief of staff of the Department of Homeland Security, told Politico in an interview that she agrees with former president Donald Trump’s one-time chief of staff, retired U.S. Marine Corps general John Kelly, who said earlier this week that Trump meets the “definition of a fascist.” “Does he have authoritarian tendencies? Yes,” Neumann, now a supporter of Vice President Kamala Harris, told the outlet. “Is he kind of leaning towards that ultra-nationalism component? Absolutely. That is kind of his brand, right? He’s made nationalism the new definition of the Republican Party.” Harris has seized on Kelly’s recent bombshell disclosures, which also included the fact that Trump allegedly opined about the loyalty of Adolf Hitler’s generals, calling the former president “increasingly unhinged and unstable.” Trump lashed out at Kelly on his money-hemorrhaging Truth Social platform, calling him a “bad general.”

Cardi B has pulled out of an Atlanta music festival after being hospitalized for a medical emergency, the singer said in a statement on Instagram. The rapper was slated to perform as one of Saturday’s headliners at the 15th annual ONE Music Fest, a two-day urban music festival expected to draw more than 50,000 attendees this year. “It breaks my heart that I won’t see my fans this weekend, and I really wish I could be there,” Cardi wrote on Instagram. She said she been recovering in the hospital for the past few days, but didn’t provide any other details about the medical emergency. The news comes just six weeks after Cardi gave birth to her third child with rapper Offset. The couple is in the middle of a contentious divorce. In her statement, Cardi told her fans not to worry about her and thanked them for understanding. “I’ll be back better and stronger soon,” she promised.

Hillary Clinton Set to Join the Campaign Trail

Hillary Clinton will host at least one event on the campaign trail for Kamala Harris in the final week of the election, a campaign official told NBC News. No event has been announced yet, and it’s unclear if Clinton will appear alongside the vice president. Since endorsing Harris’ candidacy in July, Clinton has headlined several fundraisers on her behalf and spoken at the DNC, but she hasn’t done a campaign event. A Harris campaign official told NBC News that there is a “wariness” within the campaign to remind voters of Clinton’s 2016 loss, though Clinton is still seen as an overall asset on the trail. Harris officials said they also wanted to shy away from the identity politics that partially defined Clinton’s failed presidential campaign. “Hillary Clinton said, ‘I’m With Her,’ and they were not,” one aide said of voters. “‘I’m With Her’ means you’re talking more about the candidate than the voter. Now, we are focused on freedom for the voter rather than the candidate.”

Why Queen Camilla Still Uses a Nokia Brick Phone

Given that she once suffered the embarrassment of seeing an intimate phone call with the then-Prince Charles in which he fantasized about being her tampon plastered all over global media, it is perhaps unsurprising that Queen Camilla now takes her telephonic security very seriously indeed. Now her son, the food writer and bon viveur Tom Parker Bowles, has revealed that his mother still uses an old fashioned Nokia brick phone for security reasons. In comments made to Woman & Home magazine and subsequently reported in the Daily Telegraph, Parker Bowles said: “My mum still uses an old-fashioned Nokia telephone, so (she) can’t (use Whats App). I think it’s for security.” Parker Bowles added that if he can’t reach his mother on the phone he checks the news to see what she is up to, saying: “I ring my mother, she doesn’t answer, I look on the television and think, ‘Ah! She’s in Jersey’.”

Rob Lowe and Demi Moore did actually hook up several decades ago, in case anyone was wondering. Appearing on Kelly Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, Lowe admitted that he and his fellow Brat Pack member “briefly had a thing” at some unspecified point in the ’80s. “Look, anytime you put young 20-something men and women together, hookups are inevitable,” he said. “I don‘t think that has changed.” Lowe didn’t say when they got together, but Moore was engaged to Emilio Estevez, another of their St. Elmo’s Fire co-stars, before marrying Bruce Willis in 1987. Again, no timeline for any of this, but according to Lowe, it was a “big, big sex orgy” within the group. Ooh la la!

Country singer Jason Aldean introduced former President Donald Trump at his rally in Duluth, Georgia on Wednesday—and warmed up the crowd of supporters by complaining about the criticism levied against him for his 2023 hit “Try That in a Small Town.” “I‘ve seen firsthand how the media can twist the truth. They’ve done it to me, simply for putting out a song called ‘Try that in a Small Town,’ if you guys can remember that,” Aldean said to cheers from the audience. “The song simply called out people for trashing our cities, harming people, disrespecting law enforcement, and costing our taxpayers millions of dollars for their unruly behavior. But no one is on the receiving end of lies and fake news more than President Trump.” Aldean’s anti-protestor anthem, which hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100, sparked controversy when viewers noticed parts of its music video were filmed outside the Maury County Courthouse—the site of the lynching of Henry Choate, an 18-year-old Black teenager, in 1927. The song his been criticized for its racist overtones. Aldean has consistently defended the song and the music video, although he eventually said he would have picked a different location for the video if he knew about the courthouse’s history.

McDonald’s Pulls Quarter Pounder From Some Stores After E. Coli Outbreak

McDonald’s has pulled the quarter pounder off its menu in 20% of its stores in the U.S. as the burger chain attempts to mitigate an e. coli outbreak that has already sickened 49 people and killed one. The Centers for Disease Control confirmed the outbreak on Tuesday, confirming that the potentially deadly bacteria was discovered in at least 10 states. Restaurants in “Colorado, Kansas, Utah, Wyoming, and portions of Idaho, Iowa, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, and Oklahoma” have pulled the burger from their menus, according to the agency. The single death so far attributed to the outbreak occurred in Mesa County, Colorado, the county’s public health department announced on Wednesday. At least 26 of the reported cases occurred in Colorado, the agency said. “We fully expect to see more cases,” CDC spokesperson Tom Skinner told Reuters, even though he acknowledged the company has “moved rather quickly” to contain the outbreak. Authorities have not yet pinpointed which ingredient is making people sick, but the Food and Drug Administration said it was potentially the onions served on the burgers. Quarter pounders are typically served with fresh slivered onions—while other menu items, including the Big Mac, are served with diced and cooked onions.
