We have sad news to report from the world of television today.
Saul Consuelos, the father of Live With Kelly and Mark host Mark Consuelos, has passed away.
Mark and wife Kelly Ripa shared the news with viewers on this morning’s broadcast.
“Two weeks ago today, my father passed away after a long bout with an illness. He passed away peacefully,” Consuelos shared on air. “Such a fascinating man.”
Kelly also offered a heartfelt tribute to her late father-in-law, calling him a deeply meaningful presence in their lives.
“You were blessed more because you knew him his whole life. I only got to know my father-in-law for 31 years. But they were the best 31 years of my life,” Ripa said.
“I can honestly say I will miss him every day for the rest of my life, as I know you will, as our children will. He was the greatest person I’ve ever known. He really is so symbolic of everything you are.”
Consuelos also reflected on his father’s immigrant journey and lifelong dedication to service.
“He came here from Mexico in his early teens. He immigrated here from Mexico, he served his country for 30 years. Ended up in Special Operations Command in Tampa,” Mark said.
“This young kid from Mexico just got his education through the Navy… brilliant, got his master’s while I was a kid and he loved this country so much.”
On the show, Mark also shared how Saul taught him through hands-on experience rather than lectures, shaping the skills he carries into adulthood.
“If you asked him what time it was, he would tell you how to build a watch,” Consuelos said. “There were a lot of lectures… I learned the most by just watching him.”
Ripa noted how involved Saul was in their family’s life, especially when Mark was away for work.
“A lot of times you’d be away working and we would take the show on the road and your dad would come on remotes to take care of the kids so I could go to work,” she recalled.
She also marked how hard the loss has been for their three adult children.
“This is their first loss they’ve ever experienced in their lives,” Ripa said.
Consuelos concluded by sharing that he was grateful he had the chance to say goodbye before his father’s passing.
“I was able to thankfully get down there and say goodbye,” he said. “I knew I had to keep on going, especially during that time… I know he’s there watching.”
Our thoughts go out to the entire Consuelos family at this incredibly difficult time.

Sometimes, the best advertisements are the kind that can’t go on billboards.
Sydney Sweeney shared a slew of photos, including several thirst traps.
In one, she’s rocking a crop top and freeing the nipple at the same time.
She truly is her own best promoter, drawing the eye to her clothing brand with a simple snap.
This is a powerful promo
Over the holiday weekend, Sweeney shared a photodump to Instagram.
“Still not sure about these dumps but here we go,” she captioned the array of photos and videos.
The snaps cover a wide range, from a selfie wearing light therapy masks to a video of her horseback to a cheeky dress selfie and more.
(There’s even a fantastic dog photo! It totally makes up for the jumpscare of the Eiffel Tower!)
Somehow, photo 18 — in which she’s flaunting a bra and letting her underwear show from under her pants — isn’t the pic receiving the most attention.
Item number 12 on Sweeney’s photodump is another mirror selfie.
This snap shows the actress wearing a lacy crop top.
(And it’s very clear that, though she’s wearing jeans, her underwear matches.)
The top isn’t merely lacy. It’s sheer. To be blunt, her nipples are pretty clearly visible.
Turtlenecks are a controversial design, and sometimes labeled as prudish. Clearly, there are some exceptions.
Her brand is getting a lot of attention
The top is from her own fashion brand, SYRN.
(It is pronounced “siren” but spelled differently for distinctive branding reasons. Yes, many pronounce it like CERN at first.)
Sweeney is her brand’s biggest and most powerful promoter. This is no exception.
And she’s freed the nipple before — on camera in scripted roles, but also for Variety‘s 2025 Power of Women back in October.
This time, she’s pushing Instagram’s infamously prudish rules to their limits to showcase her brand. And she’s definitely getting people’s attention!

Just a few years ago, Sweeney was actively leaning away from the tsunami of inappropriate attention that her body was receiving.
She is a famous, talented actress. While her looks obviously play into her acting — it is a visual medium, after all — the fixation on her breasts was not her focus.
More recently, it seems that either she or those advising her have had a change of heart. Possibly both.
Sweeney now seems to be using her body and her status as one of the most desired women on the planet to promote her brand and to gain followers and wealth.
Make no mistake: she’s an actress, and she cares about her art and her career. But if she can sell lingerie and bathwater and make bank while doing so, why not both?
She’s been controversial in ways that she never intended
Truth be told, Sweeney’s pivot to using her body for marketing has left some disappointed. But it’s about more than that.
It likely has more to do with how the political right has used her as a symbol, which she has gone to great lengths to avoid commenting on in any meaningful way. Her political statements tend to be decidedly anodyne.
The longer that she avoids speaking of her values in an unequivocal manner, the longer that people can make up their own story behind her beliefs and intentions.
As a result, she and SYRN have grown more controversial over the past year than most had ever imagined. (Well, that and Jeff Bezos is an investor.)
Many hope that she’ll be clearer about her values when America is a little more normal, when petty tyrants are no longer in positions of power. Some consider that scenario a little too optimistic.

Mom-shaming takes so, so many forms.
Rumer Willis, daughter of Bruce Willis, is currently a single mom.
She knows that it’s hard. The “advice” from strangers on social media isn’t helping.
Right now, she’s clapping back at them, sharing a video as she breastfeeds her almost-3-year-old.
She’s had enough of the judgment
On Saturday, April 4, Rumer took to Instagram to make a point using a video.
The short clip included her daughter, Louetta — or “Lou” — who will turn 3 years old on April 18.
Just two weeks ahead of that birthday, Rumer was breastfeeding her preschool-aged kid.
She is fully aware that deciding to breastfeed her child at this age is controversial.
That’s pretty much why she made the post, as you can see.
“When someone starts judging my parenting,” Rumer wrote in text over the clip.
That’s when the video changes — swapping to a TikTok clip in which a woman very pointedly highlights a venn diagram of “your business” and “my business.”
The circles do not intersect in the least.
Point taken.
“Sorry not sorry,” Rumer captioned the video as she shared it to Instagram.
The most visible commenters did NOT care for her tone
However they phrased it, commenter after commenters on Instagram told her the same message.
(The above screenshot is only a sample, not a complete list.)
Essentially, many of them told Rumer that, by posting aspects of her life on social media, she is just asking for this “feedback.”
That’s complex.
Certainly, anyone posting anything to social media knows that they may receive hostile replies. But … there’s more to it than that.
Yes, anyone posting to social media knows that they will receive a ton of “opinions” and unexpectedly hostile reactions, no matter how innocuous the posts.
But that doesn’t mean that it’s their fault, or that they are inviting these reactions.
Sometimes, parents post generally dangerous things — like a crib full of stuffed animals. They may believe that these are fine or harmless, but they’re suffocation hazards and people are right to call them out.
Other times, mom-shamers blast a parent for literally just loving their kid or otherwise being normal. There are a lot of people who want to project their childhood trauma onto other families and “pay it forward” in the most toxic ways imaginable.
So, where does Rumer fall on this spectrum? Who’s wrong?
So … who’s right?
A 3-year-old (Rumer posted that just two weeks before Lou’s third birthday) feels very old to be breastfeeding.
However, even though most parents often start tapering off of breastfeeding after a child’s first birthday, many medical organizations encourage longer breastfeeding periods — until after a child turns two.
Often, the understandable fear is that a child may fail to bond socially with other kids if they’re dependent upon breastfeeding (and thus may struggle with things like preschool and playdates).
And, of course, there is the anxiety of children growing up with clear memories of breastfeeding and feeling weird about it.
However people feel about Rumer’s choices, their comments aren’t doing any good. They need to understand that — which is the point, it seems, of her defiant posts.
That said … is she doing Lou any favors by immortalizing her breastfeeding timeline on social media?

In the three weeks since ABC canceled her season of The Bachelorette, Taylor Frankie Paul has mostly kept her feelings to herself.
But the embattled reality star opened up like never before on Instagram over the weekend.
In a series of posts and Stories, Taylor bared her soul on Easter Sunday, revealing, among other things, that she is no longer a practicing Mormon.
Paul kicked things off with a video montage of selfies, Bible verses, and encouraging text messages she’d received from friends and family.
“The last 40 days felt like hell on earth. Through every panic attack I prayed for strength as I could feel my body breaking down and out from the distress of it all,” she captioned one post, adding:
“And HE sent just that in various ways along with so many undeniable signs saying ‘I am with you’ which I can’t wait to share that part.
“I’ve prayed since I was young and never strayed away because I believe he wants us to ask for help especially during our lowest points. However, instead of just asking I switched over to thanking him at the end of each day no matter how low I felt.
“He has risen and he is real. I got chills today when I realized it’s been 40 days exactly today in this frantic state,” she concluded.
Clearly, Taylor was in a spiritual mood.
But shortly thereafter, she shared in an Instagram Story that she had decided to “detach” from the Mormon Church.
“I’ll always have love and respect toward it,” she wrote in a lengthy message.
“I’ll even continue to go with my family at times. With that being said, it’s time to detach myself from it,” Paul continued, adding:
“I strongly believe in Christ, God, the Bible, the divine. I believe we are loved whether we are praying in the church building from a bathroom floor at home.”
She concluded, “I’ve also experienced grace and love from amazing people that aren’t sure what they believe at all and that’s okay. Point being there is more out there to learn.”
Taylor seems to be in a pretty good place at the moment.
But she also made it clear that that’s a very new state of affairs.
“I’ve never felt the pain I’m in now,” she wrote in one of the text messages from her montage.
“I cannot breathe. I’m sad, so sad and in so much PAIN. I can’t wait to help those in this.”
In a different message, she told the recipient that she was in the midst of a panic attack.
It makes sense that Taylor has been having a hard time lately. In addition to being fired by ABC, she’s reportedly being investigated for additional domestic violence complaints.
But at least she can take comfort in the fact that she has a strong support network and a whole army of fans cheering her on.

Monday was a bittersweet day for The Today Show.
Appropriately, Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King-Crews, had some highs and lows to share.
She opened up about her diagnosis — and about the life-improving treatments that she’s undergoing to manage her symptoms.
Meanwhile, her famous husband was there by her side to support her.
Rebecca King-Crews was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2015
On Monday, April 6, Rebecca King-Crews revealed her Parkinson’s disease diagnosis.
As a guest on The Today Show alongside her husband, the 60-year-old shared that this was not new information to her — but now, she’s making it public.
She originally got her diagnosis over a decade ago, in 2015.
King-Crews revealed that her reason for coming forward is because she recently underwent a procedure.
On Today, she shared that it helped “with the symptoms on one side of my body.”
Rebecca King-Crews, wife of Terry Crews, on her recent (and upcoming) treatments for Parkinson’s disease
— fanana hammock (@fananahammock.bsky.social) April 6, 2026 at 9:09 AM
The treatment was still recent enough that she’s still recovering.
But, with recovery, she’s seeing further improvements in her Parkinson’s symptoms.
“I’m seeing improvement,” she detailed.
“I’m able to write my name, my dates,” King-Crews listed.
She raved: “I’m able to write with my right hand for the first time in probably three years.”
These procedures have lengthy recovery periods
Rebecca King-Crews shared that she will “still” be “in recovery” for another three months.
In that time, she expects to see additional fine motor control on her right side.
Her upcoming treatment, which is scheduled for September, will address symptoms across the left side of her body.
She is looking forward to it — especially because, with increased control on one side, she notices what her untreated limbs are doing more and more.
During the interview, viewers even saw a clip of her untreated symptoms — as she had to be off of her meds for a few days before the procedure. It is a lot to live with.
Seated by her side, Crews praised his wife as a “superhero.”
He called her the “rock” of their family, despite her health struggles.
They are the parents of five children: Naomi, Azriél, Tera, Wynfrey, and Isaiah.
In addition to her previously secret battle with Parkinson’s, King-Crews also beat a stage 1 breast cancer battle back in 2020.
That is more than her — or anyone’s — fair share of health struggles.
‘I’m choked up just thinking about it’
“Watch[ing] her go through what she [went] through the last 10 to 12 years has been very, very hard,” Crews expressed to Today viewers.
He listed: “The tremors, the not sleeping, the loss of balance.”
On a more positive note, Crews continued: “But to watch her write her name for the first time in three years, let me tell you.”
He admitted: “I don’t know what to say, I’m choked up just thinking about it.”
We wish King-Crews the very best in her ongoing recovery and treatments.

We hope that everyone is okay.
Just ahead of the holiday weekend, Tori Spelling and four of her children were in a terrible crash.
Both vehicles took damage. Three of her kids’ friends were also in the car.
It took multiple ambulances to take everyone to the hospital afterwards. We’re all hoping for the best.
She was driving with seven juvenile passengers
On Thursday, April 2, just ahead of Easter Weekend, Spelling was in a horrible two-car collision.
Just before 6 PM, authorities responded to the scene in Temecula, California, on Rancho California Road in Riverside County.
(That’s about 80 miles from Los Angeles.)
There, first responders transported Spelling to the hospital in an ambulance. But she was not alone.
The actress had been driving with four of her children and three of their friends.
Four of the Spelling-McDermott children and three of their friends were also “transported to the hospital.”
Apparently, this took place in “three separate ambulances.”
In a statement, the Riverside Sheriff’s Department confirmed: “On April 2, 2026, at 5:44 p.m., deputies were dispatched to the 28000 block of Rancho California Road regarding a vehicle collision.”
The statement continued: “Upon arrival, deputies located two vehicles with collision damage.”
According to the Riverside Sheriff’s Department: “All occupants were medically evaluated at the scene.”
Police are still investigating the crash to determine the cause
It remains unclear exactly which of Spelling’s children were in the car with her.
The juvenile friends also remain unknown. They are likely not public figures.
Additionally, we do not know the extent of the injuries involved.
For those with the means to do so, getting checked over medically is a smart move after a collision. Sometimes, there are minor or difficult-to-detect injuries.
Their rides to the hospital could have been precautionary. As you can see in TMZ‘s video, it looks like Spelling herself was fine, but first responders checked over the others for injuries.
🚨 Tori Spelling, her kids and several other passengers were taken to the hospital after a speeding driver allegedly ran into them … TMZ has learned. pic.twitter.com/6uta1oxnkB
— TMZ (@TMZ) April 5, 2026
Riverside County authorities shared: “No arrests were made, and the cause of the collision remains under investigation.”
Based upon the video, it does appear that Spelling gave a detailed account of her experiences to authorities.
There are celebrities in this world who should simply never be behind the wheel. Spelling isn’t really one of them. Her troubles tend to take financial form.
So, at this time, there are no indications that she is at fault.
Sometimes, vehicular collisions are unavoidable, or happen due to third parties who are not in a car. Is that what happened here?
Was the other vehicle speeding?
TMZ‘s report sheds additional light on the collision.
According to the tabloid, the other vehicle was speeding and then allegedly crashed into Spelling’s car.
That sounds terrifying. It is fortunate that Spelling reportedly responded appropriately, minimizing the harm to her passengers.
Speeding not only reduces a driver’s control, but also makes any collision more dangerous — and more potentially deadly.
However, this is not yet the official determination of investigators. Fault in a car crash is not always easy to determine, legally. We hope that everyone from both vehicles is doing just fine.
