As you’ve likely heard by now, Perez Hilton was hospitalized on Tuesday night following what appeared to be a mental health crisis at his home.

Hilton seemingly engaged in self-harm with a knife during a TikTok livestream, a situation that had many commenters expressing concern for his three children

Police reported that the kids were not in the home at the time, but we learned today that they fled the house just moments before their father began to harm himself.

That news comes courtesy of a statement from Hilton’s family that was posted to his website moments ago:

“Just minutes before the public livestream incident, Perez’s children, niece, and sister were inside the home,” the family wrote, adding:

“When it became clear that Perez was experiencing a severe mental health crisis and harming himself, they immediately fled to protect the children from witnessing any further trauma.

“Our highest priority right now is helping the children begin to heal from what they experienced. An important part of that process is allowing them to safely return home and begin rebuilding a sense of security and normalcy.”

Perez’s loved ones concluded with a plea for privacy, writing:

“For the children’s safety, privacy, and well-being, we respectfully ask members of the media, paparazzi, content creators, and the public to leave the area surrounding the family’s home and not return.

“Please allow his children the privacy and space they need during this unimaginably difficult time.”

While we’re sure everyone wants what’s best for Perez’s three kids — ages 13, 12, and 9 — many have pointed out that his family’s plea for privacy is somewhat ironic.

After all, Hilton made a name for himself as one of the most ruthless tabloid journalists in the game, often violating the privacy of celebrities in shocking fashion.

One such celebrity was model Ireland Baldwin, who shared her feelings toward Hilton in a scathing Instagram Story:

“Perez Hilton has [publicly] humiliated my family for years,” Ireland wrote (via Entertainment Weekly). “[He has] sexualized me from a young age, commented on my weight and body (as a child), made unforgivable comments about people in my family, drew j!zz [sic] coming out of my mom’s and friend’s mouths, and has always been a despicable human being.”

She continued, “But his children deserve better and a healthy father and I am so sad for all of them. I hope he gets the help he needs and heals.”

While it’s still unclear what may have caused the incident, insiders have indicated that Hilton has been struggling financially since relocating to Miami from Las Vegas earlier this year.

Long before he entered the political arena, Donald Trump’s hair was the stuff of legend.

Like your Aunt Gladys before him, the man picked one outrageous style in the ’70s and stuck with it through the decades, changes in fashion and aesthetics be damned.

So when Trump flaunted a new ‘do during a speaking engagement in Las Vegas on Wednesday, the change did not go unnoticed.

Yes, the president debuted what appeared to be a noticeably fuller, brighter head of hair, prompting an avalanche of reactions across social media.

The new look was so dramatic that many online immediately began speculating about whether Trump had changed his grooming routine—or whether he was wearing a wig.

Trump’s signature comb-over looked considerably more voluminous than it had during appearances earlier in the week.

The new lustrous mane quickly went viral, with critics and supporters alike weighing in.

One X user joked, “He’s wearing a man-wig. How very… gender affirming of him” (via Radar Online).

Another quipped, “No American president has ever projected insecurity like this before. The huge combover, the heavy makeup, the shoe lifts, & now a wig?”

Others poked fun at the hairstyle by comparing it to a “weave” or even a “ferret.”

Not everyone was critical, however.

Some Trump supporters praised the apparent makeover, with one popular pro-Trump account writing, “This is proof that President Trump is aging in reverse. His hair looks absolutely amazing today.”

The speculation comes just days after photos and video of Trump boarding Air Force One spread widely online.

Strong winds lifted his trademark comb-over, exposing more of his scalp than is typically visible and reigniting years-old jokes and rumors about whether the president wears a hairpiece.

Those clips circulated heavily on social media before his Las Vegas appearance, making the apparent overnight transformation even more noticeable to many observers.

The White House has not commented on whether Trump changed his hairstyle or grooming routine.

Trump has been highly focused on aesthetics in recent months, as evidenced by the Reflecting Pool controversy and recent renovations at the White House.

It’s a bit of an odd choice at a time when the country is at war and millions are struggling to put food on the table.

But hey, at least other octogenarians can take heart in the knowledge that it’s never too late to switch up your look.

The reign of Miss North Carolina USA 2026 Brittany Boltinhouse is over.

In June, she made history as the first married woman and as the first woman of Honduran descent to hold the title.

Now, the Miss USA organization says that she has violated the standards of the pageant organization.

How so? It appears that her social media posts have come back to haunt her.

Boltinhouse has lost her crown

Just ahead of the Miss USA competition, CEO Thom Brodeur put out a release on Wednesday, August 5.

On Instagram, he revealed that Boltinhouse has been stripped of her crown.

No longer Miss North Carolina, she is accused of violating the organization’s standards.

Titles like Miss North Carolina USA, the organization reasons, are not “trinkets.”

Rather, they are investments of trust. Trust which, Brodeur explains, Boltinhouse has broken.

A post shared by Thom Brodeur (@officialthombrodeur)

What did Boltinhouse do?

Brodeur’s statement did not explain the specific violations that cost Boltinhouse her crown.

However, the statement stated, very broadly, that the organization “does not tolerate racism, homophobia, transphobia, nor language that strips any person of their dignity.”

That is a very good policy — but does not specify which aspect of that she broke.

With exceptions of figures like Garrett Yrigoyen on The Bachelorette, very few scandals like these involve some sort of Macavity-from-Cats figure who has violated every rule in the book.

Mere weeks ago, however, an explosive report by the NC Beat revealed Boltinhouse’s troubling social media history.

Years of racist posts, it turns out

According to what are now widespread reports, Boltinhouse previously tweeted under an alias, Sosa the Stallion.

From 2017 until 2019, she allegedly repeatedly used the n-word.

On the plus side, she did not appear to be directly attacking individuals with the use of the slur. Her use in the sentences appears to have been for emphasis.

At the same time … the thing about slurs is that their use is almost always an automatic attack against the entire demographic to which they refer. Slurs are not merely rude words, they are loaded with troubling and violent histories.

Though Boltinhouse has also been accused of having been a vocal supporter of Donald Trump during his 2024 campaign, that does not appear to have been a factor.

Who is the new Miss North Carolina USA 2026?

In his statement, Brodeur emphasizes the need for compassion. He received praise for this in the comments.

He acknowledged that Boltinhouse has been “named, examined, and judged in public in a way that most of us would not survive.”

Boltinhouse entered the competition first representing the coastal city of Wilmington.

In her stead, Myla Hadley of the city of Charlotte will instead take on the title of Miss North Carolina USA 2026.

Haldey goes into this with the organization’s “full confidence and our support.”

As we previously reported, internet personality Perez Hilton seemed to engage in self-harm during a TikTok livestream on Tuesday night.

The 48-year-old brandished a knife and threatened suicide while seemingly covered in his own blood.

Hilton was rushed to a nearby hospital, and after days of speculation, we finally have some encouraging news about his condition.

In a statement released Wednesday, Perez’s loved ones confirmed that he is now able to communicate with them, calling the development a reason for hope as he continues receiving medical care.

“We can confirm that Perez is able to communicate, which has given our family hope,” the statement read (via TMZ).

The family went on to thank supporters for the outpouring of prayers and well wishes they’ve received over the past several days, while once again asking for privacy as Perez focuses on his recovery.

“We remain deeply grateful for the compassion, patience, and respect so many people have shown during this incredibly difficult time,” the statement continued.

“Please continue to keep Perez in your thoughts and prayers.”

The update comes less than 48 hours after emergency responders were called to Perez’s Miami-area home when viewers alerted authorities about a disturbing livestream.

He was transported to a local medical facility, where he has remained under medical care ever since. Authorities have confirmed that he was safely taken to the hospital, while his family has consistently emphasized that their priority is his well-being.

This is the second statement Perez’s family has released since the incident.

Their initial message confirmed only that he was receiving treatment and asked the public to respect his privacy while thanking fans for their support.

Wednesday’s update is the first indication that his condition has improved enough for him to communicate directly with loved ones.

The news has prompted an outpouring of relief across social media, with many fans expressing hope that Perez can now focus entirely on healing away from the public eye.

While his family has not shared additional details about his treatment or a possible timeline for his release, they made it clear that they’ll provide further updates if and when they’re able.

Speculation. about the cause of this mental health crisis remains rampant, with several sources claiming that Hilton had been dealing with financial woes in the

Whatever the case, at least we can take solace Perez is communicating with his family and those closest to him.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

The right wing obsession with punishing Dr. Anthony Fauci just hit a new milestone.

Last week, in his attorneys’ advice, he invoked his Constitutional right to avoid self-incrimination.

On Thursday, a Senate committee voted to hold him in contempt of Congress.

The next step could be to send a criminal referral to the DOJ. Will it happen?

Dr. Fauci was voted in Contempt of Congress

On Thursday, August 6, the Senate Homeland Security Committee voted to hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress.

Last week, members of the Senate grilled Dr. Fauci six years after the fact about the federal government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dr. Fauci invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination 111 times.

Despite him showing up to the Senate floor and allowing the GOP to put on this show trial, that still wasn’t good enough.

In an 8-to-5 vote along party lines, Republicans voted to hold him in contempt for allegedly blowing off a congressional subpoena.

The right wing narrative about Dr. Fauci seems to be a little inconsistent.

Some claim that he manufactured this virus (humans do not have the technology to engineer a virus of this sophistication), killing millions and disabling millions more.

On the flip side, other rightists have claimed that this deadly pandemic was actually nothing, and hate Dr. Fauci because they believe that the government response was too restrictive.

Both groups have been known to parrot unhinged narratives about vaccines.

Though Trump was in office in 2020 and supervised the launch of America’s pandemic response, Republican Senators are loathe to criticize him. Therefore, they take aim at Dr. Fauci.

Will he be prosecuted by the DOJ?

Rand Paul is many things. Very few of them are good.

He is also the Committee Chairman.

He says that the Fifth Amendment does not protect Dr. Fauci because President Joe Biden offered him a preemptive pardon before leaving office.

Biden issues multiple pardons for targets, like Dr. Fauci and Hunter Biden, who seemed likely to be subjected to malicious and unjust prosecutions by the Trump regime.

Dr. Fauci’s legal team advised him to invoke the Fifth because answering questions in any way might expose him to legal jeopardy. Among other things, federal pardons are not state pardons.

Now, the potential criminal referral to the DOJ may sound daunting — but it might not be that big of a deal.

An actual referral would require 60 votes in the full Senate.

Even if, let’s be real, the alleged ghost of Mitch McConnell were to join in this vote, that seems pretty unlikely.

Rand Paul, whom some people take seriously for whatever reason, wants Dr. Fauci prosecuted and imprisoned.

In that sense, this is a big deal. Vindictive maniacs who are utterly detached from reality should probably not hold as much political power in our federal government as they do now.

We have tragic news to report from the world of social media today.

Sydney Towle — the content creator who built a massive audience on TikTok over the past year — has passed away.

She was just 26 years old.

A post shared by What’s Trending (@whatstrending)

News of Sydney’s death came courtesy of an announcement posted by her family Thursday morning.

“We will always love you so much Sydney. I am so proud of how hard you fought. I love you,” they wrote.

The announcement comes just two days after Sydne’s brother, Austin Towle, shared in a TikTok video that she had been moved to hospice care and was “surrounded by her friends and family.”

According to TMZ, Sydney had been battling cholangiocarcinoma, a rare bile duct cancer.

Her bravery and candor in the face of adversity helped to earn over one million followers across platforms.

The New York native shared every difficult step of her cancer journey, inspiring countless fans around the world in the process.

Last month, she announced that she was soon to enter the next step of the clinical trial she was participating in, which involved tumor-infiltrating lymphocyte (TIL) therapy.

Sydney told fans that she had been posting less frequently due to the constant pain she was experiencing. She added that she was continuing to stay positive as she spent the last month in the hospital.

Sydney was diagnosed with cancer in 2023 after she noticed a bump protruding from her abdomen.

Earlier this summer, the Dartmouth grad launched a second career as a runway model, walking for Post Swim’s The Chemo Club collaboration at Miami Swim Week and had a collaboration with Aerie.

Though Sydney’s life was cut tragically short, clearly, she made the most of her brief time on this planet.

Our thoughts go out to Sydney’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.

Is the royal family gearing up for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to divorce?

Last month, Harry and his family reunited with King Charles for the first time in years during a trip to the UK.

Now, there are reports claiming that the royal firm is outlining how things will go down if the Sussex couple splits.

Charles wants to “support” his son. Does that mean sabotaging his marriage?

‘Contingency plans in the event of a split’

According to a report from Heat World, Buckingham Palace has created a “divorce plan.”

In the event that Meghan and Harry part ways, the royal firm wants to have a strategy ready to go.

An alleged insider claimed that the royals are “quietly be drawing up contingency plans in the event of a split.”

As an institution, the royals are known for drawing up plans for all sorts of events — from family deaths to other crises.

Though Harry and Meghan are no longer active royals after being essentially driven out of the UK by a harassment campaign, it is conceivable that the royals would draw up a plan for this potential outcome.

“Meghan won’t want to come back from the US,” the alleged inside source prognosticated.

“And,” the insider continued, “that schism is potentially dangerous” to the couple’s marriage.

The source went on too suggest that Harry and Meghan may be facing possible “tension” in their marriage.

This is allegedly because they are on “very different paths.” Oh?

According to the insider, while Meghan focuses on growing her successful As Ever brand, Harry wants to grow closer to Charles.

‘Charles is actually rooting for them’

In 2020, Harry and Meghan stepped back from royal duties.

Together with their son, Archie, they fled from the UK.

For years, British tabloids had harassed the couple — and especially Meghan, spinning absurd tales in which Meghan appeared to be the villain.

More often than not, this seemed to be a distraction from actual scandals facing William and Kate.

Harry saw how the firm protected his brother and sister-in-law, but not his wife. He didn’t want to lose Meghan like he lost his beloved mother.

A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan)

One highlight of the alleged divorce plan is that it isn’t some sort of relationship sabotage.

“This isn’t about trying to come between Harry and Meghan,” the insider clarified.

“In fact contrary to what a lot of people might think,” the source continued, “Charles is actually rooting for them.”

The insider added: The king would reportedly help Harry if the latter ever needed advice.”

Though we of course cannot verify any of the claims in this report, it is interesting to consider. But fortunately, at least from the outside, it seems null and void — as Meghan and Harry seem to be doing very well.
