Jessica Alba is reportedly heading for divorce from Cash Warren, her husband of 16 years. TMZ reports that sources with direct knowledge of the relationship said that Alba, 43, and Warren, 45, recently separated. It is unclear why the Hollywood couple has decided to end their marriage, however both have been spotted recently without their wedding rings. The duo spent Thanksgiving together with their children in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico. Last week, she and Warren also celebrated their youngest child’s New Year’s Eve birthday together at Universal Studios. The pair first met when Alba starred in the Fantastic Four in 2004, a movie in which Warren worked as a director’s assistant. They got engaged in 2007, and married the following year. Together, they have three children, Honor, 16, Haven, 13, and Hayes, 7. Besides acting, Alba launched The Honest Company in 2012, which soon became a $1 billion company and put her on Forbes’ list of “Richest Self-Made Women in the U.S.” in 2016. She stepped down as chief creative officer in April 2024 but remains on the board. Neither Alba nor Warren have responded to TMZ’s claim. The Daily Beast has reached out for comment.

Mark Zuckerberg Scrapped Meta Policy After Knee Surgery Post Failed to Go Viral
FLOP POST

Facebook’s algorithm angered founder Mark Zuckerberg when he shared a November 2023 post about his knee surgery and it received little engagement, The Wall Street Journal reports. It was this experience that led to the Meta CEO’s Jan. 7 announcement that the platform will divest from a centralized fact-checking process, according to the newspaper. “We’re going to get back to our roots and focus on reducing mistakes, simplifying our policies and restoring free expression on our platforms,” Zuckerberg said. At the time of Zuckerberg’s surgery post, all health-related content on the platform was being throttled to prevent the spread of incorrect information. Now Meta joins Elon Musk’s X in leaving the fact-checking process up to the platform’s users, which has increased fears that Facebook, Instagram, and Threads will be weaponized to sow discontent. Meta unveiled a reinforced fact-checking system during President-elect Donald Trump’s first presidency. Now, as the Zuckerberg joins other Silicon Valley billionaires in cozying up to Trump, the change of policy appears to further cement Zuckerberg’s desire to build stronger ties with his incoming administration.

George Santos Tries to Delay Sentencing to Film More Podcasts
Published 01.08.25 3:25PM EST 
WEST ISLIP, NEW YORK - AUGUST 19: Former U.S. Rep. George Santos gives a statement after a court hearing on August 19, 2024 in West Islip, New York. Santos pleaded guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft weeks before his federal trial was set to begin. His sentencing has been scheduled for February 7, and he faces more than six years in prison under federal sentencing guidelines. Santos owes at least $370,000 in restitution. He was expelled from Congress in 2023, becoming the sixth member in the chamber’s history to be ousted by colleagues. (Photo by Michael M. Santiago/Getty Images)

George Santos is pushing to delay his sentencing in order to film more episodes of his podcast, Pants on Fire with George Santos. Just last summer, the ousted representative was ordered to pay over $578,700 to the government after pleading guilty to wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. At sentencing, he is expected to get at least two years prison time, although the judge noted that the typical range is six to eight years, according to CBS News. Santos' attorneys wrote to the judge asking for more time to film episodes to foot his bills, which requires him to pay more than $200,000 30 days before he is sentenced. His team asked to push the sentencing date from February to August. Prosecutors, however, blasted his request. “His request for delay should be denied, and sentencing should proceed as scheduled,” prosecutors said. “A delay to allow Santos to develop his podcast — the title of which is a tone-deaf and unrepentant reference to the crimes he committed — is presumptively unreasonable.” According to prosecutors, Santos has earned more than $400,000 from Cameos and $400,000 for a documentary, with an additional $174,000 for his Congress salary.

The Joe Rogan Experience has been unseated from its perch atop the U.S. Apple podcast charts by a religious prayer show. The Rosary in a Year is the top podcast on Apple, a rank it claimed for the first three days of 2025 as well. The prayer podcast, launched at the end of last year and hosted by Father Mark-Mary Ames, offers listeners advice on “how to build daily habit of prayer” and how to “form a relationship with Jesus and Mary.” The Rosary in a Year is followed closely by The Shawn Ryan Show. Meanwhile, Rogan’s podcast remains in the platform’s top 10. In December, the show was similarly knocked from its top spot by Kylie Kelce’s Not Gonna Lie, which currently holds the the spot directly below Rogan on Apple’s chart. Despite falling in the rankings, The Joe Rogan Experience is second on Spotify, with Ryan’s show at No. 1 and The Rosary in a Year at No. 3.

School of Rock stars Angelo Massagli and Caitlin Hale tied the knot last week in a lavish celebration attended by their former cast members in the 2003 comedy. Massagli, who played Frankie, married Hale, who portrayed Marta, wed in a ceremony on Jan. 4 in East Brunswick, New Jersey, the New York Times reported. Rivkah Reyes, who starred in the movie as Katie, posted a TikTok showing her castmates, whom she called her “forever fam,” dancing the night away and posing for photos. Massagli, 32, is now a lawyer for TikTok, while Hale, 33, is an OB-GYN sonographer. The couple, who met on set when they were 10 years old, reconnected in 2016 when Hale moved to Florida, where Massagli was studying law. The pair first confirmed they were dating in a 2021 interview with Inside Edition. “I remember that first lunch in Miami, we sent a picture to our moms just to say, ‘Hey, look who I found in Florida,’” Hale said. “We just kept getting lunch and lunch turned to dinner and dinner turned to drinks, and the rest is history.”

Airbnb is getting heat for refusing to cancel a woman’s Los Angeles reservation, despite the raging fire that has displaced tens of thousands of residents. Ana Mostarac shared on X that she contacted Airbnb to rebook her stay to a location farther away from the danger zone, but the company denied her help. “As always, their policies failed to account for context,” Mostarac said. “The fires keep getting worse, and unfortunately, many others are probably stuck explaining bushfires to someone in another country right about now.” She posted a photo of her conversation with an Airbnb representative who said her booking didn’t fall under their disruptive events policy—which allows for cancellations during uncommon severe weather events. A spokesperson for Airbnb told the Daily Beast that Mostarac made her reservation on Tuesday evening, after the wildfires had already begun. The spokesperson added that bookings made during the disruptive event normally don’t qualify for cancellations, but the company did offer her a refund. The wildfire has burned through nearly 3,000 acres in the upscale West L.A. neighborhood of Pacific Palisades, and 30,000 people have been evacuated. “Anticipating a sleepless night! The winds alone are insane,” Mostarac wrote on X. “It’s inhumane.”

Joe Biden will leave one big job and immediately take up another: great-grandfather. The 82-year-old outgoing president’s eldest granddaughter, Naomi Biden, 31, is set to undergo a C-section Wednesday, according to USA Today. “I’m about to be a great-grandfather, Jesus God,” Biden said on Sunday, during an interview at the White House. He appears to be the first sitting president to become a great-grandfather since William Henry Harrison, whose great-grandson and future president, Benjamin Harrison, was born in 1833. Naomi Biden, Hunter Biden’s daughter, first shared that she was pregnant on Election Day in November. Naomi, who has lived at the White House, married Peter Neal on the South Lawn there in 2022. In the interview, Biden also said he thinks he would have beaten President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election if he did not leave the race. He conceded, however, that he is not sure whether he would have lasted another full term in the White House. “So far, so good. But who knows what I’m going to be when I’m 86-years-old?” he said.

While cellulite is a normal skin condition that between 80 to 90 percent of post-pubescent women experience to some extent, if it bothers you, there are both in-office and at-home ways to lessen the appearance of dimples. Plenty of over-the-counter anti-cellulite creams and treatments are on the market (often infused with circulation and water-expelling caffeine as their hero ingredients), but not all formulas are created equal.

When applied topically, caffeine may help reduce cellulite because it stimulates enzymes that break down fat, resulting in a smoother appearance and may help draw out excessive fluids, which can cause puffiness and make dimpling look more pronounced. Right now, one of our favorite anti-cellulite lotions is BodyBlendz’s newly launched Anti-Cellulite and Stretch Mark lotion ($53).

BodyBlendz Anti-Cellulite Cream
BodyBlendz.

The hydration-boosting formula is super-charged with laxity-supporting and anti-inflammatory ingredients, including caffeine-rich green seed coffee extract to boost blood flow and reduce dimpling, skin-firming artichoke extract, and vitamin B and C-rich pineapple extract to lock in moisture and nourish the skin. Best of all? While cellulite is more common on the body than the face, this gentle body lotion is also formulated as a lifting and de-puffing facial lotion. Along with the green coffee-derived caffeine to boost blood flow and reduce fluid retention, it also contains niacinamide, a B vitamin that helps soften skin and combat dullness, and shea butter to plump up fine lines for a more youthful appearance.

If you’re looking for a multifunctional face and body product ($28) that targets cellulite but is gentle enough to double as face cream, BodyBlendz’s new formula will not disappoint. Need more convincing? Head to BodyBlendz’s website to check out the lotion’s seriously impressive before-and-after pictures. Wow.

Musk Trolls Trudeau With Trump’s Favorite Insult for Trashing MAGA Plan

Elon Musk mocked Canada’s outgoing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday after Trudeau trashed Donald Trump’s proposal to make Canada part of the United States. In a post on X, Trudeau said there “isn’t a snowball’s chance in hell” that his country would join its southern neighbor. In response, Trump’s so-called “First Buddy” Musk couldn’t resist a dig. “Girl, you’re not the governor of Canada anymore, so doesn’t matter what you say,” Musk wrote in a reply to Trudeau’s post. The tech billionaire’s post made use of an insult that Trump has been throwing at Trudeau—the leader of a key U.S. ally—for weeks, with the president-elect derisively referring to Trudeau as the “governor” of “the Great State of Canada” after his visit to Mar-a-Lago last month. Trump also said he could use “economic force” to make Canada become the 51st U.S. state at a press conference on Tuesday, prompting Trudeau’s defiant public response.

France warned President-elect Donald Trump to back off from threats to the European Union’s “sovereign borders” Wednesday, a day after he declined to rule out using military force to take Greenland. “There is no question of the EU letting other nations in the world—whoever they might be—attack its sovereign borders,” French Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot told public radio broadcaster France Inter. Barrot said he doesn’t expect Trump to “invade” the Danish territory, but observed that the world is witnessing a “return of the law of the strongest.” Greenlandic and Danish leaders have repeatedly insisted the autonomous territory— which Trump has brazenly claimed should be taken over by the U.S. to secure its “economic security”—is not for sale or interested in joining the union. Asked at a press conference at his Mar-a-Lago estate on Tuesday if he would pledge not to use military force to seize Greenland or the Panama Canal, Trump replied: “No, I can’t assure you on either of those two, but I can say this, we need them for economic security.” Trump has also fixated on Canada becoming the 51st state—Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that there isn’t “a snowball’s chance in hell” of that happening.
