Andy Cohen has shared an emotional message to Mary Cosby following the death of her son, Robert Cosby Jr.
The 23-year old died on February 23 in Utah after Salt Lake City authorities were alerted to a possible overdose. Truly awful.
During the Thursday episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, meanwhile, the program’s appeared emotional as he spoke about the tragedy.
“Before we go, I want to send all my love and heartfelt condolences to Mary Cosby and her family after news broke yesterday about the tragic passing of Mary’s son Robert Jr.,” Cohen said on air, adding:
“This devastatingly sad news is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart breaks for Mary. I will always appreciate getting a small window into the unconditional love between Mary and Robert Jr.”
The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member confirmed the loss of her son earlier this week.
“Mary, you did such a good job,” Cohen continued, before going on to praise the mother and son for opening up about Robert Jr.’s mental health and drug addiction during an episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
“Our beloved son Robert Jr. has been called home to the Lord,” Mary’s post opened.
“Though our hearts ache, we take comfort in God’s promise and in knowing he is finally at peace. We are grateful for your prayers and trust in the Lord to carry us through this time of sorrow.”
On season 5 of the Bravo series, the majority of Mary’s storyline revolved around learning of her son’s severe drug addiction, which was brought to light in an emotional scene between parent and child.
“I started doing Xanax with Acid, and then Molly with Xanax,” Robert revealed at the time. “I really like Xanax, so I mix it with everything. Xanax and cocaine. You know the regular 30mg Oxys? I noticed … this was, like, a turning point for me. I was taking 10 at once, and I couldn’t even feel it.”
We have yet to learn of a cause of death.
But most observers presume drug use was involved.
Cohen went on to commend Mary for doing “such a good job” for opening up about Robert Jr.’s mental health and drug addiction during an episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.
“I know their bravery and their vulnerability in sharing their story has helped and will continue to help countless people who are struggling,” Cohen said. “Rest in peace Robert Jr. and thanks.”
From what we’ve heard, filming on The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 has been postponed due to this incident.
Cohen previously shared a message on his Instagram Stories about Robert Jr.’s death, shortly after the news broke.
“Devastatingly sad news out of SLC,” the father of two Cohen wrote. “This is every parent’s worst nightmare. My heart is broken for Mary, and I am sending all my love to her and Robert Sr.”

We’ll never tire of seeing Sydney Sweeney’s mind-breaking looks.
That goes for in film, on the red carpet, or when she’s modeling her very own lingerie line.
Love or hate the brand name, Syrn is dropping its latest collection.
Who better to model the thongs and bralettes than Sydney herself?
Ahead of the Wednesday, March 4 launch of her fourth (of four) collections, Sydney is modeling more of her lingerie.
As you can see in the jaw-dropping photos that her Syrn brand shared, this set of lingerie looks comfortable and casual.
That sounds fitting — as this is the Comfy collection.
Sydney is wearing high-waisted thongs alongside soft cotton bralettes.
And, as you can see, she’s doubling up — modeling the white and black varieties at the same time.

— Sydney Sweeney Brasil (@sydneysbrs) February 26, 2026
In addition to the modeling photos, Sydney and her brand also shared a video.
The video shows her removing a top to reveal the Comfy bralette underneath.
Other moments show her lounging comfortably in bed and lounging uncomfortably (one assumes) over the side of a chair.
You know when you see a cat do an impossible stretch and go: “Sir, is that comfortable?“
It’s like that, but with one of the hottest humans alive. Take a look:
As we mentioned, this is the fourth of the collections that Sydney has unveiled since launching Syrn.
First came Seductress, which carried a femme fatale vibe featuring corsets and garters. Old school lingerie.
Then she released Romantic, which had a softer and lacier vibe.
Playful is, as the name suggests, more fun and sporty.
And now, of course, she’s released Comfy.
Reactions are entirely predictable and, for the most part, seem to have nothing whatsoever to do with the clothes themselves.
Replies to Sydney’s modeling pics are, first and foremost, filled with lust.
(Being horny is great! There is no reason to post about it in replies to her. Please be normal!)
After that, we see people booing and hissing at Sydney for daring to show her body. These are the usual sex-negative types who, for misogynistic and sometimes religious reasons, believe that it’s somehow “immoral” for women to dress seductively, to model undergarments, or to otherwise be themselves.
There is also political commentary, mostly in the form of people seeking to wield Sydney as a cudgel over their favorite political grievance. It’s unhinged. She’s a real person, not some sort of amulet.
It’s true that Sydney has made choices over the years.
For example, in the past, she expressed frustration with the rampant sexualization of her every move.
More recently, with her bathwater soap sales and eye-popping red carpet looks, she’s leaning into it. She has every right to!
More disappointing is her decision to play coy — which is functionally the same as doing nothing, yet slightly more annoying — when it comes to the way that fascists fawn over her.
They’ve put her in a no-win situation. It sucks. It also sucks that she and those advising her have done the math and opted against speaking out.
If people would be more normal about her, she could navigate the world as an alarmingly beautiful actress who’s extremely talented — and not as a political lightning rod.

As the calendar flips toward March, the NCAA Tournament picture has started to crystallize. For weeks, the prevailing belief across men’s college basketball has been simple: A trio of No. 1 seeds are essentially spoken for. Duke, Michigan and Arizona have looked like clear-cut top seeds. That left one final No. 1 seed dangling — a debate to be settled over the season’s closing stretch. Perhaps not anymore. On Wednesday night, UConn flexed its muscles with a 72-40 demolition of St. John’s, snapping a 13-game winning streak for the Red Storm and delivering the most lopsided loss of the Rick Pitino era in Queens. With that performance, UConn made a powerful case for securing the fourth and final No. 1 seed as March Madness looms. Is the race truly over? Or is there one more twist before Selection Sunday? FOX Sports’ bracket forecaster Mike DeCourcy has his latest NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament projections. EAST REGION SOUTH REGION MIDWEST REGION WEST REGION And it’s never too early to check in on the bubble.

As for conference representation, the SEC leads the way with 10 teams, while the Big Ten and ACC have nine teams each. The Big 12 has eight teams in DeCourcy’s latest tournament projections. The Big East and the West Coast have three teams represented, while the A-10 has two teams. Selection Sunday is less than one month away, and these projections will inevitably evolve.

It’s been an eventful month in the life of Shia LaBeouf.
The troubled actor was sentenced to mandatory addiction treatment today in connection with his arrest last week after a bar fight in New Orleans.
But that’s neither the beginning nor the end of LaBeouf’s legal troubles.
First, let’s address the court’s ruling:
In addition to his mandatory rehab, Shia was forced to shell out $100,000 bond.
Orleans Parish Criminal Court Judge Simone Levine also addressed the fact that LaBeouf used an anti-gay slur during the fight.
She accused him of threatening “the safety of this larger community, especially relative to a marginalized community that has gone through so much terror.”
Shia was ejected from a bar for violent behavior on February 16.
Witnesses say he came back “even more aggressive” and fought two men in the street outside the bar.
Police were called, and LaBeouf was briefly hospitalized for minor injuries before being taken to jail.
In addition to his treatment program, Shia must now submit to mandatory drug tests.
It was Shia’s second brush with the law in as many weeks.
According to a new report from TMZ, cops were called to LaBeouf’s New Orleans home on February 8.
An unidentified man complained that he was attacked and punched “in the groin” by an ex-girlfriend.
The punch reportedly caused the victim to “slump over and grimace due to the pain,” but he refused medical treatment.
The man told police that he was showing the home to his new girlfriend when his old girlfriend showed up unannounced and attacked him.
He also said that he dated the alleged attacker briefly in November but had broken the relationship off by December.
LaBeouf reportedly moved to Los Angeles after ending his marriage to actress Mia Goth last year.
The exes have a child together, and it appears as though she still lives in Los Angeles.
Shia has a long history of substance abuse and mental health issues, and we hope these latest events will lead him to get the sort of help he needs.

INDIANAPOLIS — At the NFL Combine, it’s customary for prospects to get bombarded with questions about which teams they’ve met with. Have you talked to the Buccaneers? Have you met with the Jets? And so on. But at his combine press conference on Friday, Fernando Mendoza didn’t have to field a single one of those questions. No, reporters simply asked how his meeting with the Raiders went. That’s because it’s a virtual lock that the Indiana quarterback will go No. 1 overall to join rookie head coach Klint Kubiak in Las Vegas. “It was a fantastic interview,” Mendoza told reporters. “I know they have the prospective No. 1 pick, but anything could happen in the draft. I’m just excited for the opportunity, and whatever team drafts me, I’m gonna give it everything I got.” Not every team is enamored with Mendoza. Not every media member is enamored with him. But he is so clearly the No. 1 pick that he fielded a question about what he’d say to a team that didn’t draft him first overall. And Mendoza showed the type of guy he is — generous, earnest — with his answer. “Nothing. There’s so many great guys in this class,” Mendoza said. “I’m just honored to be a part of the group. There’d be no hard feelings. … I’m just grateful for whatever team drafts me, whether it’s the No. 1 pick or the 199th pick.” [RELATED: What’s Fernando Mendoza’s Best Trait? NFL Scouts, Execs Weigh In] This isn’t Baker Mayfield. Mendoza won’t spend his time keeping receipts. He’s intrinsically motivated. He’s disciplined. And he truly loves football. That love, he explained, stems from the game’s unique strategy — and the way intelligence can play a major role, even when a player isn’t an elite athlete. Like Mendoza, or Tom Brady, who was the 199th pick of the 2000 draft. All the more reason for Mendoza to prepare thoroughly. “In the NFL, the margins are so small,” he said. “There’s so many games decided by so few points. And the difference between a losing record and a winning record is a couple of drives, a couple of key plays.” It’s Mendoza’s detail-oriented mindset that has elevated him into a position that absolutely no one — even one year ago — could have seen coming. He was the 140th-ranked quarterback coming out of high school in 2022. “It was a true ranking,” Mendoza said at the combine. “I was a raw prospect. I was terrible.” He went to just about every camp he could to attract attention. And still, he only got two offers — one from Yale (unofficially) and one from Cal. And the Golden Bears showed up at the buzzer only because they whiffed on two or three other quarterbacks. This is the lore of Mendoza. It’s an underdog story. He’s not attention-seeking. He’s not Shedeur Sanders, whose combine press conference last year drew a far bigger crowd than Mendoza’s. The only crowd that matters to Mendoza is the one in Las Vegas. Mendoza said he spoke briefly on the phone with Raiders part-owner Tom Brady before the interview. And Mendoza hopes he’ll get to meet Brady in person soon. “Who hasn’t admired Tom Brady? I mean he has more Super Bowl rings than anybody,” Mendoza said. “To potentially have a mentor like that, it would be pretty impressive and pretty meaningful.” [RELATED: Fernando Mendoza’s QB Coach Reveals Why He’s Perfect No. 1 for Raiders] During the Raiders’ meeting with Mendoza in Indy, the coaching staff dove into an install, teaching the quarterback a few plays to see how he learned. Vegas then reviewed his film and got to know him. It was nothing out of the ordinary for a prospect-team meeting. Then during Mendoza’s press conference, the sentiment was all about humility. This draft will likely be all about him, and yet he refuses to make it all about him. Just listen to how Mendoza spoke about Hoosiers receiver Omar Cooper Jr., a fringe first-round pick. “He helped make me this year,” Mendoza said. “He’s like prime Deebo Samuel. … He has great body control, great hands. He can really play any position on the field — a receiver that can be a gadget guy, also take it deep and also have great routes.” The media might be taking Mendoza’s status at the top pick for granted. But he isn’t. After all, he has a LinkedIn page that he regularly updates. “Right now, I’m unemployed,” he said. “This is the most important job interview of your life. Right now, I’m just doing everything to hopefully get employed on April 23rd.” That’s the optimistic, down-to-earth approach that drew the folks at Cal and Indiana to Mendoza. That’s the personality that has made him magnetic to those close to him. And it’s one of the many traits that, no doubt, has drawn the Raiders to him.Latest Sports News from FOX Sports
