Sunday marked the first Father’s Day since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed in September of last year.

And his widow, Erika Kirk, marked the occasion with a heartbreaking tribute to the late father of two.

In a heartfelt Instagram post, Erika reflected on the pain of celebrating the holiday without Charlie while also honoring the legacy he left behind for their two young children.

“Happy Father’s Day to the best daddy,” she wrote alongside family photos and videos featuring Charlie with their daughter and son.

She went on to say that she “still wrote you your letter,” suggesting that this was an annual Father’s Day tradition in the Kirk family.

“They miss you. I miss you. I just can’t help but thank you, endlessly today. Thank you for loving us so well. Thank you for making me a wife and a mother,” Erika wrote, adding:

“Thank you for our two precious babies that carry pieces of you with them. Thank you for all the times you’ve prayed over our family.

“Thank you for living your life in such a way to be an incredible example to other Fathers. Thank you for all the sacrifices you’ve made. You will forever be an extraordinary father. Forever.

“Today in our hearts we celebrate you like your favorite TPUSA AmFest 2024 walkout.

“You’d always say more fog, more sparklers, more bass and then next with the babies in our arms walking off stage. Our love was integrated, and that is how it’ll remain.”

The post quickly drew an outpouring of support from followers, many of whom offered prayers and words of encouragement as the family continues to navigate an unimaginable loss.

Charlie’s death shocked supporters across the country and left Erika raising the couple’s two children on her own.

Since then, Erika has frequently used social media to share memories of her husband while documenting her family’s grieving process.

She has also spoken publicly about the difficulty of moving forward without the man she once described as “the love of my life.”

Despite the heartbreak, Erika has repeatedly emphasized her faith and her determination to preserve Charlie’s memory for their children. Following his death, she stepped into a leadership role at Turning Point USA and vowed to continue the work that meant so much to her husband.

Father’s Day served as another painful reminder of what the family has lost, but it was also a celebration of what remains.

Through photographs, memories, and stories shared with their children, Erika made it clear that Charlie’s presence continues to be felt long after his passing.

And while this first Father’s Day without him was undoubtedly difficult, she appears determined to ensure that her children never forget the father who loved them so deeply.

Travis Barker and Kourtney Kardashian welcomed baby Rocky Thirteen over two years ago.

Naturally, she showered him with love an affection in a public display of affection for Father’s Day.

Of course, fans couldn’t help but noticing a major snub in the process.

Scott Disick is her ex, but he is the father of three of her kids.

‘Baby daddy’

Kourt spent much of the weekend broadcasting her good times with her family.

On Sunday, June 21, she publicly showered Travis Barker with love.

He is her husband. He is also the father of her youngest child, 2-year-old Rocky Thirteen.

“Baby daddy,” Kourtney wrote on Instagram alongside a black heart emoji.

Notably, baby daddy is an AAVE term that is very useful — to describe a man, often who is not one’s current partner, who is the father of one’s child. Travis is her actual husband.

Sure enough, much of the content that Kourtney shared involved Travis’ parenting.

She and her family visited Lake Como, Italy back in the summer of 2025. She shared throwbacks.

(Among other things, Villa del Balbianello — which overlooks the famous lake — appears in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones.)

Kourt’s posts showcased Travis at his most paternal, spending time with precious little Rocky.

But was there something missing from her posts? Yes. Yes there was.

That’s a wrap on Father’s Day!

And no celebration or acknowledgment for Scott Disick, it seems.

Obviously, Kourtney is pretty famously no longer with Scott. That entanglement ended in the Beforetimes.

But Scott is not only still close with some members of her family (like Kris and Khloe), but he’s the father of three of Kourt’s kids.

Kourtney isn’t a corporation. Fathering Mason, Penelope, and Reign doesn’t give Scott a majority share or whatever.

But barring situations where a father is terrible or the exes hate each other, it’s not unusual for moms to give a shout-out to the former partner who fathered three of their kids.

Obviously, some of Kourt’s fans took to her comments to remind her that Travis is only one of the fathers in her life.

(In fact, it’s believed that some of her kids don’t care for Travis or for the marriage.)

Some say that this is just another example of Kourtney disappearing in Travis’ slender shadow.

Others, however, say that she’s just gushing about her husband and doesn’t feel the need to performatively celebrate the ex who went on a bender and boned every 19-year-old model within arm’s reach while she stayed home with the kids like an adult.

If Mason, Penelope, and Reign feel the need to celebrate Scott, they’re welcome to do so. Kourt has moved on.

Last week, Jelly Roll filed to divorce his wife of the past decade.

Both partners had discussed a number of marital issues, even if it never quite read as “divorce hype.”

Now, Bunnie Xo has opened up about the split — growing tearful, but also putting a positive spin on things.

Also … they’re still having a baby together? As exes?

‘I ended up leaving’

Days after the divorce news broke, Bunnie Xo took to her Dumb Blonde podcast to directly address the divorce.

“On Mother’s Day, we had a little bit of an argument, and in that argument, I was so fed up and so tired that I just looked at him and I said, ‘Well, then file the f–king divorce papers,’” she recalled.

Ordinarily, she clarified, “I’m not the type of person who says what I don’t mean.”

Bunnie continued: “I ended up leaving. So, I packed a bag and I left and I didn’t talk to my husband for weeks after that.”

She confirmed: “He was so mad and we were so emotional that he ended up doing exactly what I told him to do.” That is to say, he filed to divorce her, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

“Was I blindsided? Was this divorce mutual?” she asked before answering. “No, I was not. It was not mutual.”

Bunnie explained: “Even though I told him to file the divorce papers, I was speaking out of anger and frustration.”

She continued: “But was it necessary for us to have a wakeup call and to actually start having these real conversations? Absolutely.”

“When I found out that he had filed for divorce, I immediately got on HRT because I was like, I’ve got to pull myself out of this hole,” Bunnie reasoned.

“So, I got on HRT and started going to therapy, started going to counseling,” she shared. “I lost 15 pounds over this because he’s my best friend.”

‘We’re still having a baby together’

“But the thing is, that’s my f–king best friend, dude,” Bunnie emphasized. “Like, I love him.”

She revealed: “And you guys are going to be shocked to hear this, but we’re still having a baby together.”

Bunnie acknowledged: “So, we have been the most unconventional couple that you guys have ever encountered.” That’s somewhat reasonable to say.

“J and I literally talked for two hours today before I did this podcast, you know, like he knows this podcast is coming,” Bunnie acknowledged. “He knows that he wants me to do this podcast.”

She continued: “He’s like, “Please clear up some s–t for me, please.’ I will always protect him.”

Bunnie also encouraged listeners to slide into his DMs and date him.

She, however, does not feel ready to date just yet.

Jelly Roll addressed the podcast at a concert, giving her a shout-out while not walking back the divorce at all.

That is an awful lot to unpack.

We’ll see if these two exes follow through on having a child together as exes. You can always love and support each other without trying to make something so complex work for a child. Just saying.

We have sad news to report from the world of music today.

Clive Davis — the legendary record executive who helped launch and guide the careers of countless artists over the course of six decades — has died.

He was 94 years old.

Davis was widely regarded as one of the most powerful and successful executives in music history.

Over the years, he helped develop the careers of icons such as Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Kelly Clarkson, Janis Joplin, Bruce Springsteen, and many others.

While no official cause of death has been revealed, weeks before his death, Davis was hospitalized with an upper respiratory infection.

At the time, representatives said the admission was precautionary and that he was expected to recover.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Davis originally pursued a legal career after graduating from Harvard Law School. But a chance opportunity at Columbia Records ultimately changed the course of his life — and the music industry itself.

He rose through the ranks to become president of Columbia Records in 1967 and quickly developed a reputation for spotting talent before anyone else.

During his tenure, he helped sign or develop artists who would go on to dominate the charts for decades.

After leaving Columbia, Davis founded Arista Records and later helped launch J Records, continuing his extraordinary run of success well into the 21st century. His influence stretched across multiple generations of musicians and genres.

Throughout his career, Davis earned five Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a non-performer in 2000. His annual pre-Grammy gala became one of the music industry’s most prestigious events, attracting some of the biggest names in entertainment year after year.

In recent years, Davis remained active in the industry despite various health challenges. He often spoke about his enduring passion for music and his belief in its power to bring people together.

While artists may have supplied the voices that defined generations, Clive Davis was often the man behind the scenes, helping those voices find an audience.

His impact on popular music will be felt for decades to come. Our condolences go out to his loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

After the series finale of Euphoria aired, fans wondered if the rumored feud between stars was over.

Sydney Sweeney and Zendaya seemed to bend over backwards to avoid each other.

Sometimes, people get along just fine when they’re not coworkers. Other times, the loathing is personal.

How has the end of their HBO series impacted the feud reports?

The reports of the feud are alive and well

Euphoria Season 3 has come and gone.

But has this changed the rumored feud between the controversial HBO series’ two most famous actresses?

RadarOnline reports that the alleged enmity hasn’t gone anywhere.

They haven’t appeared together on the red carpet in years.

The same seems to go for social media behind-the-scenes snaps and beyond.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Zendaya (@zendaya)

Insiders close to the show have repeatedly shot down any claims that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other.

Instead, they’ve said that the two did not have any scenes together in Season 3.

This meant that they were rarely on set together.

Both actresses have many projects beyond Euphoria. They simply didn’t have time to hang out behind the scenes, or pose for cute photos to post online.

But what caused them to (allegedly) not get along?

What caused their alleged feud?

As we reported earlier this year, Zendaya’s now-husband Tom Holland allegedly played an inadvertent role in it all.

Sweeney allegedly flirted with Holland whenever he visited the set of Euphoria.

Obviously, Holland would never cheat on Zendaya. But a perceived attempt would still raise hackles in almost any partner.

Additionally, Sweeney was swept up in scandal (not through action, but more through inaction on her part) in 2025, even being branded “MAGA Barbie.”

Zendaya pretty famously has good politics. If the belief, which lacks evidence, that Sweeney is a supporter of Donald Trump is true, then it would be a bad look to rub elbows with her. But that’s … not really certain.

As we have previously pointed out, there is no confirmation of Sweeney and Zendaya having any sort of feud in real life.

Did Sweeney flirt with Tom Holland? It’s theoretically possible, but unconfirmed.

(Her real-life dating history suggests that she does not really go for handsome, age-appropriate men, so trying to steal a guy from Zendaya sounds out of character.)

Additionally, Sweeney’s voter registration as a Republican is a red flag, of course. But it is also from years ago. She hasn’t done enough to distance herself from Trump, and is probably just hoping to avoid any more political backlash than she’s already received.

Is it possible that Sweeney and Zendaya hate each other? Sure.

But it’s certain that people often imagine feuds between women who co-star on television shows and don’t instantly become lifelong friends.

In the world of American politics, optics are everything.

So when a sitting president makes a big deal out of restoring a beloved landmark ahead of a major historic milestone, he knows exactly what he’s doing.

And when said overhaul goes horribly awry, said president knows that he’s about to get brutally roasted across the globe.

In case our hypotheticals were too vague, the above situation is currently unfolding in Washington, as the Trump administration scrambles to patch up the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool ahead of America’s 250th birthday on July 4.

As the deadline approaches, the Reflecting Pool situation is looking increasingly grim — and green.

The algae that the administration sought to eliminate — in order to cast the pool in a shade of patriotic blue in time for America’s big day — is still in full bloom.

Worse, blue lining that was installed in an effort to attain the desired hue is now peeling and floating to the surface, transforming the pool into a swamp-like eyesore.

That might be a result of the large quantities of hydrogen peroxide that have been poured into the pool in order to slow the growth of algae.

A post shared by Washingtonian (@washingtonianmag)

Whatever the case, the sudden change in the chemical makeup of the pool seems to be impacting the local flora and fauna, as Newsweek and other outlets report that a dead duck was retrieved from the water over the weekend.

Unable to ignore the situation any longer, Trump took to his Truth Social platform to … blame everything on his haters.

“What these terrible Vandals have done is a true affront to both Presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, and should be dealt with accordingly,” Trump wrote in his post, adding:

“They took some form of knife or blade, and put a 250 foot long gash into the beautiful facade of what took so much work, competence, and money to build and complete,” he added. “They also poured corrosive and destructive chemicals into the Pool.”

Security around the pool is now at an all-time high, and arrests were made over the weekend. One of the detainees was a retired Olympic canoeist named David Hearn.

Hearn, 67, told NBC News that he approached the pool in order “to satisfy my curiosity as a citizen of what was happening with all the algae and the peeling blue coating that I’ve been seeing in the news.”

“I didn’t remove, tear, rip, break or destroy any of it. The condition of the reflecting pool was the same after I stepped away from the water as it was before I got there,” he continued, adding:

“All of a sudden they were handcuffing me behind my back, and they hadn’t really told me what I was charged with.”

Comparisons between America in 2026 and the Roman Empire in its final years are almost cliche at this point.

And an embattled leader blaming all his problems on encroaching vandals is almost too on the nose to bother joking about. So we’ll hold off for now.

Oh, and in case you’re keeping score at home, the cost of the failed restoration is currently at $16 million — and rising.
