In the aftermath of Hayden Panettiere’s tragic death, new information about the beloved actress’ battle with addiction continues to emerge.

According to one new report, Hayden attempted to have alcohol and nitrous oxide cannisters (known as “whippits”) delivered to her room during a recent trip to Nashville.

A source tells Page Six that Hayden made the trip as part of her promotional tour for her memoir.

“She had alcohol and whippits delivered. They wouldn’t allow it up to her room,” the insider claimed.

The source added that Panettiere was only “there for a day,” and she “wasn’t happy” that her items were not delivered.

In her memoir, Hayden wrote extensively about her struggles with alcoholism. Nitrous oxide can be huffed for a brief high.

Hayden’s publicist and friend Kasey Kitchen denies the allegation.

“She was in Nashville for a short amount of time and slept for most of it. She also had private security with her,” Kitchen said.

Two days prior to the Nashville trip, Kitchen appeared alongside Hayden during her interview with Tamron Hall.

During the episode, Hayden spoke candidly about the toll alcohol had taken on her health.

“When I got to the point of looking in the mirror and seeing my eyes had turned yellow, and that I didn’t recognize my body anymore and I went into that doctor’s office and got a blood test, and he told me ‘If you don’t stop, you’re going to be looking at a liver transplant,’” Panettiere explained.

Hall replied: “So, you’re 30 years old, and the doctor’s telling you, ‘You’re 30 years old, Hayden. You will not live to see 35.’”

“Yeah, [the doctor said], ‘If you do not stop immediately.’ And, I was like, ‘I can’t do that to me,’ and if I can’t do it for myself, I’m going to do it for my child,” Hayden said.

Sadly, it now looks as though Panettiere later lost her battle with addiction. While no official cause of death has been revealed, Hayden’s emergency was described as a “possible overdose” in a 911 call.

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

Even before his disappearance over two months ago, Mitch McConnell was a shell of his former self.

These days, some believe that he is so unwell that he is unable to return to the Senate.

Others believe that McConnell is dead and that those in power are concealing his passing until the time is right.

Footage of McConnell struggling to figure out how to vote on the Senate floor isn’t really encouraging. Take a look:

Mitch McConnell seemed lost and dazed on the Senate floor

Unless you count dubious “proof of life” photos that do not actually prove anything, no one seems to have seen Senator McConnell in over two months.

The Kentucky politician was hospitalized on June 14.

Based upon eyewitness reports, he did not seem to be doing well as he was hauled away in an ambulance.

Since then, extremely reasonable people have been asking for actual proof that he is alive and well.

But it looks like, even before his hospitalization, McConnell was struggling to even go through the motions of serving his constituents.

As TMZ has documented from CSPAN footage, McConnell appears to have been confused and disoriented on the Senate floor.

Notably, this was in early June — 10 days prior to his hospitalization.

The June 4th session involved Senators voting 29 times during an 18-hour span of time in what’s called a “vote-a-rama.”

McConnell seemed to struggle with simple yes-or-no votes.

As you can see in the video, everyone from McConnell’s chief of staff to a clerk to Senator Bernie Moreno seems to coach McConnell after he votes the opposite of the way that he presumably would have wanted to.

An experienced Senator should be able to cast votes without guidance

The video shows McConnell changing a vote after being “corrected” by others.

It also shows people visually show him how to vote, as if he has forgotten and needs guidance.

McConnell does seem to follow their, ah, helpful guidance.

Later in the recording ,we can see McConnell sitting stationary for 6 hours while the Senators around him mill about.

Look, perhaps he was patiently meditating. Or perhaps, however unlikely, he was high out of his mind on gummies. But most do not believe these innocuous explanations.

McConnell has not been seen in public since June 14. We are now nearing the end of August.

Even without the footage of him shuffling while seemingly disoriented, people suspected that his health event either caused such catastrophic damage that he can no longer feign wellness … or simply ended his life.

Some even speculated that his alleged death might be announced in August — after the deadline to hold a special election to replace him had passed.

As it stands, the people of Kentucky are down 50% of their Senate representation. And most folks do not expect to see McConnell again unless there is an open casket.

Hey, maybe we’re all wrong. Perhaps he is really in a rehab facility regaining his tortoise strength and will return stronger than ever to the Senate. But we have to ask ourselves: what explanation is most likely?

Shia LaBeouf is apparently still hitting the bottle despite being on probation following his latest arrest.

The troubled star admitted he’s drinking alcohol every day during a recent probation status hearing, according to a court document obtained by Complex.

LaBeouf appeared without an attorney at the August 19 hearing and told officials he has been checking in with his probation officer.

He also provided documentation showing he plans to complete anger-management training and substance-abuse treatment by next month.

But despite his past troubles with drinking, LaBeouf apparently isn’t steering clear of booze while completing those requirements!

According to the document, the actor acknowledged drinking daily while also saying he had declined mental-health treatment.

LaBeouf’s latest legal headache stems from a February incident at a New Orleans bar during Mardi Gras. Shia was accused of repeatedly punching a man outside the establishment before returning and allegedly becoming even more aggressive.

Several people reportedly attempted to restrain him. After being allowed to get up in the hope that he would leave, LaBeouf allegedly struck the same man again before punching another man in the nose.

The actor ultimately pleaded guilty to misdemeanor battery and was sentenced to two years of probation in June.

A post shared by Viral Pop (@viralpopculture)

At the time, LaBeouf’s attorney, Sarah Chervinsky, attempted to downplay the incident, calling it a “minor Mardi Gras bar tussle.”

“The police and District Attorney’s investigation proved exactly what Shia LaBeouf said from the beginning — that this was nothing more than a minor Mardi Gras bar tussle,” Chervinsky said.

“There is no evidence it was about bias or prejudice, which is why the state only charged these low level misdemeanors. Mr. LaBeouf came to court today wanting to take accountability for his part in what happened, and he has done so.”

Now, however, LaBeouf has another reason to take his probation seriously.

His next hearing is scheduled for September 23, although he reportedly won’t be there because he’ll be filming a movie.

And there’s a pretty serious consequence hanging over his head if he fails to complete his probation: six months behind bars.

For now, LaBeouf appears to be balancing court-ordered treatment with a daily drinking habit — a combination that could make his road out of legal trouble considerably more complicated.

Back when Jessi Draper was Jessi Ngatikaura, she made one of the most jarring comparisons imaginable.

In describing the cosmetic genital surgery that she’d undergone, she likened herself to her daughter.

At the time, her daughter was one year old.

Now, that clip has resurfaced — and the backlash drove Jessi to (temporarily) delete her account.

‘I look like my daughter [down there]’

During The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives‘ first season, Jessi invited her castmates to a painting party.

This was prior to “getting my cookie redone,” as she put it. She was referring to cosmetic surgery on her vulva.

(Child safety experts have cautioned against silly nicknames for genitals, as there are documented cases of children reporting an adult touching them inappropriately to other adults without being understood because they use nonsensical terms like “cookie.”)

Specifically, Jessi underwent a labiaplasty to reduce the size of her labia minora. There is sometimes weird shaming over the shape and size of genitals, including of labia.

Some folks would rather go under the knife than worry about what a partner thinks about their naked body.

A post shared by Jessi Draper (@_justjessiiii)

Jessi spoke repeatedly about this surgery (neither her first nor her last time getting cosmetic work, and yes many fans are concerned that this is a compulsive behavior) on SLOMW.

She also opened up on Kaitlyn Bristowe’s Off The Vine podcast in 2025. This is where she got herself into trouble.

“They cut the meat off. Like, you know how you have the little things inside the flaps?” Jessi asked, reminding everyone that the women of SLOMW may be victims of educational neglect as well as extreme religious upbringings.

“They just, like, cut it off and then sew it back up … ” Jessi continued, accidentally describing a huge swathe of surgeries.

“I’m like, ‘I look like my daughter [down there],” Jessi announced, referring to her then-one-year-old. “I’m like, brand new again.”

That poor choice of words has resurfaced

Comparing her adult genitals to that of her actual human baby-slash-toddler’s did not go over well.

She is a grown woman in her thirties. While she wasn’t necessarily sexualizing her daughter, it was still … icky.

(There is absolutely a conversation about how society expects women to look young forever in ways that make the comparison flattering to Jessi. Imagine, for contrast, a man comparing his penis to a baby’s. Suddenly, it sounds super weird and no longer a compliment.)

Without delving into an ongoing feud … Jessi is currently in one.

And that is why a very specific clip from Jessi’s 2025 interview was posted this week. It did not go over well.

Jessi actually briefly deactivated her social media amidst the negative backlash.

Now, however, it is back. She is a public figure and she has brand deals to support, no matter how many comments shr eceived.

“Someone told me when I got [my labiaplasty] done I’d look brand new and like the day I was born again down there so it was a play on that,” Jessi said about the backlash after the initial interview. “I’m sorry!”

She also called it “a bad joke” and explained that she “didn’t mean any harm by it.”

We believe her! One thoughtless comment probably says a lot more about our society’s disturbing beauty standards than it does about Jessi as a person.

That said, if her daughter grows up to feel some kind of way about this, that’s totally valid.

It’s official: after six years in the US, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK.

Yes, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will return to Harry’s home country later this month with their two children, according to a report from NBC News.

The family is expected to remain in Britain for an “extended period,” with Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 5, reportedly set to begin school there in September.

But don’t expect Harry and Meghan to be moving back into a royal residence — or resuming their royal duties.

The couple will reportedly live in a private residence and remain non-working members of the Royal Family, just as they have since stepping down from their senior roles in 2020.

Buckingham Palace and Harry’s spokesperson have declined to comment on the move, but many believe the couple may wish to be closer to King Charles as he battles cancer.

Still, the decision represents a remarkable turnaround for a couple who spent the past six years building a new life in California.

Harry and Meghan famously left the UK in 2020, eventually settling in Montecito, where they purchased a reported $14.7 million mansion.

Their departure was followed by a series of explosive interviews and projects that exposed deep divisions within the Royal Family, including their 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, their Netflix docuseries and Harry’s memoir, Spare.

Harry’s relationship with his father has also been strained for years. But that relationship appears to be improving.

Charles was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, and Harry, Meghan and their children visited Britain last month. The trip marked the first time the King had seen Archie and Lilibet since 2022.

And while Charles reportedly welcomed the idea of having his youngest son and grandchildren closer, the monarch apparently didn’t know about the family’s plans until Sunday.

Harry’s relationship with his older brother, Prince William, remains considerably more complicated.

The brothers have been estranged for years, and there is little indication that Harry and Meghan’s return to Britain will magically repair that relationship.

There are also no indications that Harry and Meghan intend to abandon their American life completely.

The couple have built a business empire since leaving royal duties, including deals with Netflix and Spotify. Some of those ventures have been more successful than others, but the Sussexes have continued to maintain their public profiles from California.

For now, however, Harry and Meghan appear ready to make Britain home again, at least for the foreseeable future.

And after everything that happened when they left, that’s one royal plot twist we definitely didn’t see coming.
