‘Diff’rent Strokes’ Star Files for Divorce After Three Years of Marriage

Diff’rent Strokes star Todd Bridges is divorcing his wife after three years of marriage, TMZ reports. He and mom-of-four Bettijo B. Hirschi had been separated for three months, according to TMZ, and on Tuesday he filed for a legal separation in Maricopa County, Arizona. The documents, obtained by People, ask for a petition for dissolution of marriage without minor children, and state that the marriage is “irretrievably broken.” Neither is requesting any form of spousal support. “After much prayer and reflection, my spouse and I have made the difficult decision to separate,” Bridges told People following the announcement of their separation in January. “This was not an easy choice, and it comes with a heavy heart, but also with love and gratitude for the life we shared.” He married the designer and photographer in 2022 in Beverly Hills, nine months after meeting on a dating app. From 1998 to 2012, the child star, 60, was married to Dori Bridges. The two have a 27-year-old son, and Todd Bridges has an adult daughter from a previous relationship.

Health officials in Washington, D.C., have cooked up a wacky new plan to fix the rat problem in the city. DC Health, the agency charged with maintaining public health in the nation’s capital, has announced it’s going to use birth control on the rodents. The agency said it will put edible fertility control bait in areas prone to infestation. “Yes, fantastic! If it’s good enough for humans, then it’s good enough for rats, I think. Like, why not? Get rid of them,” one resident told News4. “Anything that they can do to help limit the rats, I would probably be in favor of,” a man said. “I’ve never heard of it. I trust that the science is real. But if it is, the less rats in D.C. is a good thing.” The agency will also use lethal bait. One bait will be edible for the rats, and the other comes in powder form. Nightlife hub Adams Morgan, a hot spot for rats, is the first port of call for the new plan. “We’re gonna get the rat population down and then we’re gonna come back in three weeks to see if any of those babies survived and get them too,” DC health director Ayanna Bennett said.

When I think of powder foundations, my mind immediately defaults to cakey, chalky, and textured finishes—the exact opposite of what most women over 35 are looking for in a complexion product. While they offer unparalleled staying power, traditional powder foundations have a reputation for emphasizing fine lines, clinging to dry patches, and making crepey skin look even more pronounced. But powder formulas have come a long way, and Laura Geller’s bestselling Balance-n-Brighten Baked Color-Correcting Foundation is living proof.

Founded by theatrical makeup artist Laura Geller in 1997, the brand has long been known for its focus on offering inclusive, skincare-infused makeup for mature skin (40+), though it’s developed a loyal following across all age groups. Its baked complexion products are among its most beloved thanks to their silky, cream-like finish. Unlike traditional pressed powders, Laura Geller’s baked formulas start as creams before being transformed into a velvety, demi-matte powder. The result is a lightweight, buildable formula that blurs the appearance of fine lines, texture, and pores without looking flat or overly matte. Instead, the self-adjusting pigments melt into the skin for a natural, second-skin finish and a subtle soft-focus effect.

Each formula in the baked collection (including the Baked Balance-n-Brighten Powder Foundation) is handcrafted in Italy using the brand’s proprietary baking technique, in which pigments are baked on terracotta tiles for 24 hours. The process helps ensure the powder feels more like a cream when it hits the skin, minimizing the risk of creasing, caking, or settling into fine lines. Reviewers frequently note how silky it feels on the skin, with buildable coverage that helps conceal dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and redness while softening the look of lines. “Absolutely love this product, nice coverage feels really light on your skin. I’m always getting lovely compliments about my skin when I have used this product,” one 52-year-old reviewer said.

Many also admit they were hesitant to switch from liquid to powder—until they tried it. “I have been using Baked Balance-n-Brighten Correcting Foundation now for almost 3 years, and I will never go back to liquid foundation,” says another five-star reviewer. “I am continually being told how youthful my skin looks, which is fabulous at 65.” If you’re looking for a complexion enhancer that’s compact, mess-free, and capable of delivering natural-looking coverage with a touch of radiance (without caking, creasing, or settling), Laura Geller’s bestseller is well worth adding to your routine.

Drag-hating former DHS secretary Kristi Noem has been hit with a bit of irony after revelations about her husband’s “bimbofication” fetish sparked a surge of interest in the cross‑dressing kink on Pornhub. Search popularity for “bimbofication” on the porn site skyrocketed from nearly 0 percent on Monday to 587 percent on Tuesday—the day Bryon Noem’s “busty bimbo” alter ego was exposed—the New York Post reports. By Wednesday, search popularity jumped further to 724 percent, according to PornHub figures sent to the outlet. The sudden spike appears to have been set off by leaked photos of Bryon posing as a pouty-faced “bimbo,” a fetish that involves roleplaying as a hypersexualized Barbie doll by donning massive breasts and figure-hugging clothing. Ironically, Kristi —dubbed “ICE Barbie” for her love of playing dress-up in uniformed roles—has made opposition to drag a centerpiece of her political brand, even spearheading a campaign to ban drag shows in South Dakota during her time as governor of the state. She even went so far as to announce a whistleblower hotline in 2023 so people could complain about South Dakota’s colleges and universities encouraging drag performances or the use of “preferred pronouns.” Noem’s spokesperson said she was “devastated” by the revelations of her husband’s cross-dressing, adding that the family was “blindsided.”

Violinist Tzruya “Suki” Lahav, who recorded and toured with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band in the 1970s, has died. Her son announced her death from cancer at the age of 74 in a Facebook post. Lahav’s work can be heard at the end of Born to Run’s closing track, “Jungleland,” and she also sang uncredited on “4th of July, Asbury Park (Sandy)” and “Incident on 57th Street” from 1973’s The Wild, the Innocent and the E Street Shuffle. In addition, she toured with Springsteen from 1974 to 1975, performing in 38 shows beginning with an October 1974 concert at New York’s Avery Fisher Hall and ending with one at D.C.’s DAR Constitution Hall. A memorial post from the Bruce Springsteen Center for American Music acknowledged Lahav’s passing and noted that after leaving the E Street Band, she went on to “become a major figure in Israeli music and literature, leaving behind a lasting legacy as both a songwriter and poet.” An obituary published in Israel’s i24News called her one of the country’s “most influential songwriters and poets.” She is survived by her partner and three sons.

Three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson is pulling out of one of golf’s most prestigious events at the last minute. The 55-year-old LIV Golf star announced on X that he will miss next week’s tournament, citing an ongoing health issue. “I will not play in the masters tournament next week and will be out for an extended period of time as my family continues to navigate a personal health matter,” he wrote. The sudden withdrawal comes just days before the field of more than 90 players is set to descend on Augusta National Golf Club. It’s not the first time Mickelson has stepped away this year. He also missed four LIV Golf competitions this season for a similar reason before briefly returning to compete at an event in South Africa in March. Mickelson—once a dominant force on the PGA Tour before his jump to the LIV circuit—struck a reflective tone in his announcement. “I have great respect for Augusta National Golf Club,” he wrote. “It is definitely the most special week of the year.” He added that he would be watching from afar, as fans quickly flooded his post with messages of support.

Kim Kardashian will produce a reality show about hyper-competitive youth baseball families in Arizona, according to Variety. The series, called Team Moms, will come to Paramount + this year. Audiences will enter the world of Legendary Prep Academy, a baseball-specific private school in Scottsdale that produces many NCAA and MLB stars. According to Variety, the logline for the show is: “Willing to do whatever it takes for their children to excel at America’s favorite pastime, the intensity of the program is only paralleled by the fervor of its athletes’ parents, who will stop at nothing to ensure their kids make it to the big leagues.” The show will follow the families, coaches, and players involved in the baseball school. Kardashian will team up on the project with ITV America and Paramount Sports Entertainment. The new baseball reality show is not the only upcoming release from Kardashian. Her comedy film The Fifth Wheel is coming to Netflix. She’s also working on the TV shows Group Chat and Calabasas Behind the Gates.

A 225-year-old Danish warship sunk by the British in the 1801 Battle of Copenhagen has been discovered, just before construction crews buried the wreckage for good. Archaeologists at Denmark’s Viking Ship Museum announced Thursday that the Dannebroge shipwreck was found in waters set to be transformed as part of a massive new housing project that has a distant completion date of 2070. The wreckage site lies 49 feet underwater, and time is running out to resurface as much of the sunken ship as possible before the area is transformed into an active construction zone. A search team has already recovered two cannons, shoes, uniforms, insignia, and bottles from the wreckage, according to the Associated Press. They also found part of a sailor’s jawbone—one of the grim remnants left behind from the bloody centuries-old battle, which left approximately 3,000 killed or wounded. The Viking Ship Museum’s head of maritime archaeology, Morten Johansen, told the AP the wreck could offer an unusually intimate look at the violence of the battle. “We actually don’t know how it was to be onboard a ship being shot to pieces by English warships,” Johansen said, but “some of that story we can probably learn from seeing the wreck.”

Jamie Lee Curtis, 67, has revealed that she is now a grandma. The Freaky Friday and Trading Places star told Michelle Obama’s podcast that her 39-year-old daughter, Annie, gave birth to a baby boy in December. While the little one is healthy, his birth was quickly followed by tragedy—his mother’s godparents, Rob and Michele Reiner, were murdered in their Los Angeles home just weeks later, allegedly by their troubled son, Nick. “My beautiful daughter, who loved them as we all did, managed to be able to metabolize that grief and sadness … [and then] brought their son into this world a week later,” Curtis told Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson’s show, IMO. “The truth is that the greatest lessons... the hardest days ever in my life have been being a parent, and now a grandparent.” Curtis has been keeping the news of the birth out of the public eye, but she got her daughter’s green light to tell the IMO podcast. Curtis said Annie asked her to tell the former first lady that “I love her,” and the actress was happy to oblige.

Lyma makes a strong case for laser technology as the next evolution in at-home skin care. Unlike many beauty devices, which use surface-level treatments or controlled skin injury to kickstart collagen and elastin production, the brand’s handheld laser stimulates cellular activity without disrupting the skin barrier, causing inflammation, or triggering scar tissue formation.

Rather than forcing the skin into repair mode, Lyma’s low-level laser technology aims to optimize how skin functions in the first place. According to research cited by the brand, the device may activate a significantly greater number of genes associated with skin health and longevity versus traditional LED devices, suggesting a more comprehensive cellular response. While independent data on at-home devices remains limited, the ongoing laser-versus-LED discourse is gaining traction throughout the beauty and wellness worlds. Lyma’s FDA-cleared “cold” laser has also attracted attention from celebrities such as Sienna Miller, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Martha Stewart, as well as renowned plastic surgeon Dr. Jason Diamond.

Now, the coveted laser devices are earning praise from those outside the aesthetic space. In a recent conversation for Lyma’s Science of Youths series, biohacker and longevity expert Dave Asprey drew a clear distinction between the two technologies. “Lasers have always been more effective than LEDs, but they’re much more expensive. So a lot of companies will use LEDs because they’re cheap,” he said, noting that Lyma’s ability to control depth and delivery makes it a more advanced option. He also raised concerns about popular in-office treatments that rely on controlled injury (e.g., microneedling). “Most of these treatments are going in, creating scar tissue underneath the skin or sometimes in the skin,” Asprey said. “It does make you look better because it can help reduce wrinkles, but it’s not healthy tissue volume.” In other words, while some treatments may deliver short-term results, they can come with trade-offs over time.

Lyma’s approach, by contrast, is designed to support skin health without that same level of trauma. While the device is undoubtedly an investment, it may appeal to those hoping to streamline their routine and lessen dependence on more aggressive (and often more expensive) in-office treatments. In fact, many reviewers say it’s actually saved them money in the long run by cutting back on in-office aesthetic treatments. If you’re ready to move beyond LED, the Lyma Laser Pro delivers a more advanced, non-invasive alternative that’s worth the upgrade.

The Bachelorette Australia star Konrad Bien-Stephen has died in Melbourne at the age of 35. “It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of Konrad Bien-Stephen. We ask that you respect the privacy of his family during this incredibly difficult time,” his management wrote in a statement to Variety Australia about his death on Monday. His cause of death has not been released. “No further information will be shared at this stage,” the statement said. The Australian heartthrob appeared on Brooke Blurton’s 2021 season of The Bachelorette Australia, where he finished in fourth place. He continued his streak in reality TV, starring in the competition show The Challenge Australia in 2022. He was linked to media personality Abbie Chatfield for a short time following his stint on the dating show. She confirmed the 35-year-old’s death and honored her ex-boyfriend’s memory. “Konrad was such a kind man and sweet person to everyone. A very caring man who deserved to live a very, very long life. I am so heartbroken that he doesn’t get to do that,” she said on her Instagram story. Bien-Stephen was dating singer Thelma Plum prior to his death.

A 2,500-year-old golden helmet stolen in a brazen heist last year has finally been recovered. The priceless Cotofenesti helmet was swiped in January 2025 from the Drents Museum in the Netherlands by thieves who used firework bombs to gain entrance into the building. The priceless artifact, one of Romania’s most revered national treasures, has now been confirmed recovered at a Thursday press conference in the Dutch city of Assen. Art detective Arthur Brand said the recovery of the 2,500-year-old helmert is the “best news we could have got.” He added: “We were pretty sure it had not been melted down because there were only four days between the robbery and the arrests.” Three people are currently on trial for carrying out the raid at the museum and taking the ancient artifacts. Police are said to have tried to convince the suspects to reveal where they stash the helmet in exchange for a more lenient punishment. The helmet and golden bracelets taken during the raid were featured in an exhibition on the Dacians, a society that lived in the Carpathian Mountains of Romania thousands of years ago, before the Romans conquered them.
