James Van Der Beek found an escape from his cancer battle while filming what would become his final onscreen role in the upcoming Legally Blonde prequel series Elle. At the show’s New York City premiere on Tuesday, co-showrunner Caroline Dries reflected on working with the late actor, who died in February at age 48 after being diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer. “James told me that acting allowed him to be someone else and forget the pain he was in,” Dries said before a screening of the series’s first two episodes. Dries recalled Van Der Beek as upbeat and generous throughout production, saying he often brought his daughters to set and made everyone laugh. “He showed us nothing but kindness.” In the series, Van Der Beek plays Dean Wilson, the city’s mayoral candidate and current school district superintendent. Co-showrunner Laura Kittrell said the team always envisioned the character as a nostalgic ’90s-inspired figure and felt the former Dawson’s Creek star was the perfect fit. The series follows a young Elle Woods navigating High School and premieres July 1 on Prime Video⁠.

The iconic Buffalo Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, 66, revealed he suffered a stroke this past spring. During the Buffalo Bill’s ribbon-cutting ceremony for their new Highmark Stadium on Tuesday, the legendary player opened up about his latest hospitalization for the first time. “I had a little setback about a month and a half ago,” Kelly said. “But right now, I feel good. Eyesight’s not great. My hearing still sucks, but that’s part of life.” The stroke came eight years after a long battle with cancer; the 66-year-old has been diagnosed with cancer four different times. He endured a combination of surgeries and chemotherapy in 2013, 2014, and 2018. Despite the health setback, Kelly remained optimistic as he discussed the Bills’ new stadium and its future atmosphere. “I want to see how loud this stadium can get,” he said. “And from what I’ve been told, it’s going to be unbelievable. I don’t expect anything less.” Kelly played for the Bills from 1986 to 1996 and remains one of the most celebrated figures in the team’s history. He led Buffalo to four consecutive Super Bowl appearances and was inducted into the Football Hall of Fame in 2002.

Getting solid sleep feels like a real luxury these days. Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep through the night, if you’ve been struggling with getting shut-eye, you’re not alone. A 2024 Gallup poll found that 73 percent of respondents reported getting less than 8 hours of sleep per night, and 57 percent said they would feel better if they got more sleep.

Whether prescription or over-the-counter, most sleep aids can help you knock out, but often come with less-than-ideal side effects, such as next-morning grogginess and brain fog. CBDistillery’s sleep gummies help you get to sleep without the side effects.

Unlike standard cannabis gummies, CBDistillery’s sleep gummies combine three types of cannabinoids: THC, CBD, and CBN (a cannabinoid known for its calming, sleep-supporting properties). CBDistillery’s bestselling gummies combine 5mg of Delta-9 THC, 75mg of CBD, and 15mg of CBN for full-body relaxation without feeling dissociated, starving, or overly... giggly.

If you prefer to stay THC-free, the brand’s Sound Sleep gummies skip it entirely, containing only 50mg of CBN in a delish black cherry flavor.

Scottish actor Iain Robertson has been found guilty of rape and domestic abuse for a string of offenses spanning over 15 years. Glasgow’s High Court found the Band of Brothers actor, 45, guilty on five counts involving three women between 2004 and 2019. At the trial, a pre-recorded statement was played to jurors from a rape victim, who the actor met on the set of River City, providing insight into Robertson’s alleged persistence of the woman throughout their back-and-forth relationship. “Iain was convinced I was in denial about having feelings for him and in denial about what I wanted,” she said. The victim claims she was raped one night in either 2018 or 2019 at Robertson’s apartment and that he performed other unwanted sexual acts on her. Prosecutors argued that Robertson, who was married to assistant director Judith Milne from 2006 to 2009, was violent and obsessive towards other women. One victim spoke about “obsessive” calls she received from Robertson, including a time he “lunged” at her. “I thought he was going to hit me,” the fellow actor said. Robertson is currently in custody and will be sentenced on July 23.

Former Athletic reporter Dianna Russini, 43, says her life has changed for the worse with the “intense scrutiny and personal attacks” she’s received after being pictured cozying up to married NFL coach Mike Vrabel, 50. “This has had a significant impact on my life, both professionally and personally,” the married journalist wrote in a text to The New York Times when asked for comment about the scandal. Russini, who quickly realized she didn’t want to be quoted, requested that her comments not appear in the story and was told that, since she didn’t ask to be off-the-record in the text chain, her comments would be published as is. The former NFL insider then emailed the publisher at The Athletic, along with two senior editors at the Times, to stop the comments from being published, to no avail. This is only the latest blow to Russini, who resigned from her sports reporting position in late March after Page Six published images of her and Vrabel hugging and holding hands at Ambiente Resort in Sedona. A few weeks after the initial story, more photos surfaced showing the two kissing in a Tribeca bar in March 2020. Vrabel, who is still employed by the New England Patriots, said he is seeking therapy and has had some “difficult conversations” with his family.

Olivia Jean has filed for divorce from her husband, Grammy-winning rocker Jack White, after more than three years of marriage. According to divorce documents obtained by People, Jean, 36, filed in Nashville on June 3, citing irreconcilable differences and “inappropriate marital conduct.” The filing alleges that “Seven Nation Army” singer White, 50, is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct, which makes further cohabitation unsafe and improper.” Jean requested alimony, asked that White continue paying her medical insurance, and sought to remain the beneficiary of his life insurance policy, claiming she was “dependent on [White’s] income for her support.” The couple married onstage in Detroit in December 2022 after White proposed during a concert at the Masonic Temple. Shortly after they tied the knot, Jean told The New York Times the surprise wedding was “the best experience of my life.” In July 2025, White revealed that Jean, whom he described as “gorgeous and thoughtful,” had bought him his first cell phone as a 50th birthday gift. White was previously married to Meg White, his bandmate in The White Stripes, and model Karen Elson, with whom he shares two children.

A family vacation to the Bahamas took an alarming turn when a 12-year-old boy was attacked by a shark while swimming in Staniel Cay. The family was touring the Exuma Cays, a stretch of 365 islands home to clear waters and known for snorkeling and other tourist activities, when the boy was attacked next to his brother in the ocean. The Bahamas, which consists of over 700 islands, ranks ninth in countries with the most shark attacks, despite having a population of only approximately 400,000 people. The “shark capital” is home to around 40 different species. Still, shark attacks are rare in the region, with only 29 previous unprovoked attacks recorded since 1580, according to the International Shark Attack File. The Royal Bahamas Police Force reported that shortly after the attack, the 12-year-old was rushed to the hospital in New Providence, the country’s most populous island, but is unsure of the type of shark responsible for the attack. The boy, who, according to authorities, is in stable condition as of Wednesday, joins an ongoing list of Americans who have suffered attacks in the Bahamas, including two women injured by sharks in Bimini in February 2025.

Daryl Hall, 79, announced via Instagram on Tuesday that he is recovering from a living-donor kidney transplant. “I thought you should know that I recently received a kidney transplant from a very kind and generous living donor,” the lead singer of the 80s pop-rock band Hall and Oates shared in Tuesday’s post. “It was, according to my doctors, a huge success!” Hall was diagnosed with Lyme disease, a bacterial infection typically transmitted through a tick bite, in 2006 and had to cancel concert dates as a result of his symptoms. “I have good days and bad days,” he said in a 2008 interview with Seacost Media group. “It’s like a roving street gang of germs.” With John Oates on electric guitar and Hall as lead singer, the two released 18 studio albums from 1972 to 2006, making six hit singles that reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, including “Out of Touch” and “Maneater.” The American singer also used his announcement of his recovery to hint at future releases and performances at his music club and restaurant, Daryl’s Club, in New York. “Get ready for more music and lots of Daryl’s House shows.” However, don’t expect the duo to reunite anytime soon. The pair had a massive falling out in 2023 when Hall sued Oates and sought a restraining order to block Oates from selling his 50 percent share of their joint venture, Whole Oats Enterprises, to Primary Wave Music. The issue was resolved in August 2025, but the duo has no plans to perform together.

A North Korean soldier has crossed into South Korea through the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ), one of the most heavily guarded borders in the world. South Korea’s military said the soldier crossed the border on Tuesday night and was taken into custody by South Korean forces. Authorities are now investigating his identity and the motives surrounding the escape. The defection is believed to be the first by a North Korean soldier since October 2025 and comes despite years of intensified border security measures ordered by North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The regime has strengthened defenses along the border with additional barbed-wire fencing, land mines, and surveillance systems. Troops are reportedly instructed to shoot potential defectors. Crossings through the DMZ remain extremely rare; most North Koreans who flee the country typically travel through China before making their way to South Korea. Defections have fallen sharply in the last few years as border controls have tightened following the COVID-19 pandemic.

Whether you have children, pets, or just don’t enjoy the manual labor of mopping and vacuuming with old-school models, investing in a solid robot vacuum and mop is a major game-changer—and time saver. Unfortunately, many automatic robot vacuums and mops don’t deliver the same suction power and precision as handheld models, which makes choosing the right one essential. Another downside? They can be expensive—especially if you want one that actually does the cleaning for you. Enter Dreame’s D30 Ultra CE Robot Vacuum and Mop, which is currently 20 percent off ahead of Amazon Prime Day’s official kickoff next week (June 23 to June 26).

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Sutton Stracke’s 22-year-old son, Phillip, is planning to enter the priesthood. Phillip surprised his mother with the news shortly after graduating from The Citadel, a military college in South Carolina. “It was such a big decision,” Stracke said on Tuesday’s episode of Radio Andy, explaining that the announcement made her cry. “You’re in seminary school for six years, then you become a deacon of the church, and then you join the priesthood,” the reality TV star said of the lengthy process. Phillip is the middle of three sons Stracke shares with ex-husband Christian Stracke, alongside Porter, 24, and James, 19. Stracke said she was quick to open her mind to the possibility after learning more about the benefits of Phillip’s new career path. “He’s like, ‘If it doesn’t work out, I can leave,’ which I thought was a good positive outlook on it, because you learn a lot in seminary,” she explained to host Andy Cohen. Phillip has always taken the unconventional route, according to his mother, who, during a 2022 RHOBH episode, said he had considered joining the Army to defy his “comfortable” upbringing.

Camp Mystic, the Texas Christian summer camp devastated by catastrophic flooding that killed 28 people, has filed for bankruptcy in the aftermath of the disaster. According to court records cited by the New York Times, the company’s total debts now exceed $10 million, while its assets are between $1 million and $ 10 million. After 25 young girls, two counselors, and the camp’s executive director were killed in extreme flooding on July 4, 2025, an investigation was launched, which found that the camp failed to properly plan for, prepare for, and respond to the flood. It concluded the camp lacked the required written emergency plans, was unprepared for the storm, and did not evacuate in time despite having ample opportunity. The Eastland family, which owns Camp Mystic, originally said they planned to reopen the camp this summer, but following pressure from victims’ families and state lawmakers, the camp announced in April that it would remain permanently closed.
