In October, a North Carolina man named Wellington Delano Dickens III called 911 and told the operator that he had killed four of his children.

Dickens later confessed to burying a fifth child — a one-month-old infant named Riley — in the woods near his home.

Dickens tells authorities that Riley’s health declined shortly after the family moved to a home in Zebulon, east of Raleigh.

Latest confession comes weeks after Dickens admitted to killing four children

Dickens has been in police custody since October 27 when he called 911 to confess that he had killed four children.

Police arrived at his home to find four of Dickens’ kids aged 6, 9, and 10, along with his 18-year-old stepchild, inside the trunk of a car parked in his garage.

New details of the case continue to emerge, and this week, we learned that Dickens used the dating app Grindr to invite multiple men to his home during the weeks while his children’s bodies were in his trunk.

“Dickens continued to speak with the dispatcher saying that he did not torture his children, he over-disciplined his children and was wanting to turn himself in,” reads an affidavit in the case.

Dickens’ wife passed away in April, leaving him to care for his four children and adult stepchild.

Insiders say he had been acting erratically since his father passed the previous year.

Authorities say they’ve been unable to locate child’s remains

When Riley died, Dickens says, he wrapped him in plastic and disposed of the body.

The death was not reported to authorities until the moment that Dickens, 38, made his shocking confession.

Authorities searched the area that Dickens described, but were unable to locate Riley’s body.

According to NBC News, they have requested additional resources to aid in the search.

Johnston County Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Jeff Caldwell told reporters that the search for Riley’s remains is ongoing and no additional charges have been filed against Dickens.

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

The FBI has apprehended one of its most wanted alleged criminals.

Ryan Wedding made a name for himself as an Olympic snowboarder for Team Canada back in 2002.

But according to investigators, he then shifted his focus to international drug trafficking.

The FBI claims that Wedding is one of the most feared kingpins on the planet and has ordered murders of multiple witnesses — and now he’s finally in custody.

According to US Attorney General Pam Bondi, Wedding was arrested in Mexico on Thursday.

“At my direction, Department of Justice agents @FBI have apprehended yet another member of the FBI’s Top Ten Most Wanted List: Ryan Wedding, the onetime Olympian snowboarder-turned alleged violent cocaine kingpin,” Bondi wrote on X (formerly Twitter) today.

“Wedding was flown to the United States where he will face justice,” she continued, adding:

“This is a direct result of President Trump’s law-and-order leadership. Under @POTUS, criminals have no safe harbor.

“Director Patel has worked tirelessly to bring fugitives to justice. We are grateful to our incredible Ambassador Ron Johnson and the Mexican authorities for assisting us in this case.”

“This is a huge day for a safer North America, and the world, and a message that those who break our laws and harm our citizens will be brought to justice,” Patel wrote on his own X account.

The FBI has been in pursuit of Wedding since November of 2025, when he was charged with murder and money laundering and added to the agency’s Most Wanted list.

The US government offered a $15 million bounty for his arrest.

Investigators claim that Wedding made tens of millions by shipping more than 130,000 lbs of cocaine a year.

Wedding has also been indicted for conspiracy to distribute and possess with intent to distribute controlled substances, conspiracy to export cocaine, continuing criminal enterprise, and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with a continuing criminal enterprise and drug crime.

Wedding’s alleged accomplice Andrew Clark was arrested in Mexico in 2024. He has since been handed over to the United States to face trial.

The FBI and DOJ are planning to reveal more information at a press conference later today.

He’s not beating the himbo allegations.

You’d think that Travis Kelce, of all people, would catch a Taylor Swift reference right away.

Especially when it’s a reference to a song about him. A song about his apparently magnificent dong, no less.

We understand that he’s good at football. He should probably stick to that.

‘What’s that mean?’

During the Wednesday, January 21 episode of the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast, a fan left them stumped.

Jason read a fan’s note: “‘I can’t believe none of the hoodies are called ‘New Heights of Man-Hoodie.’’”

Visibly confused, he commented: “I don’t know what the f–k that means, but she’s disappointed.”

Say what you will about the Kelce boys, but they aren’t incurious.

Jason asked: “What’s that mean? What’s a ‘man-hoodie?’ Is that a thing?”

Neither Jason nor Travis seemed to catch the reference.

Fortunately, producer Brandon Borders stepped in to explain the lyrical reference.

“It’s a Life of a Showgirl reference, boys, come on,” Brandon said, roasting them.

“The lyric, ‘New Heights of manhood,’” he spelled it out.

As if exasperated, Brandon added: “It’s the time we were referenced in the album.”

‘Taylor’s going to kill me’

Travis appeared to need to take a moment to process this.

“I didn’t understand that,” he admitted.

Travis then joked: “Taylor’s going to kill me for not knowing that.”

It wasn’t merely a song about him that happened to refer to his podcast.

Taylor spent much of the song glorifying Travis’ penis. The song is called “Wood.” It’s not subtle.

Jason generously suggested a reason why the reference flew over their heads.

“We’re not as good with the Easter eggs as these Swifties,” he admitted.

(The humble approach is smart, and is often accepted!)

Travis chimed in: “They sure know how to plant them and call them out.”

Yes. Also, Swifties are Taylor’s most obsessive fans. Though … would that not include Travis?

Maybe him missing the reference makes sense?

The difference between Travis and Swifties is that they know her music, her public persona, her public history, her career, her impact.

Travis knows the woman herself. We don’t.

It might feel like we do, at times, but we do not know Taylor.

The rest of us have time to pour over her lyrics because that’s the relationship that she has with fans. Travis has a different, non-parasocial relationship with Taylor that goes well beyond lyrical analysis.

Also many believe that he’s kind of a dummy. Affectionately speaking, of course.

Sometimes, it takes maturity to see why people worried about your immaturity.

We reported that Unexpected Season 7 will feature a 13-year-old father-to-be.

That child is Hunter. The child who has since given birth to his baby is now 15.

Will Bella Vaughn face legal consequences for getting pregnant by a then-12-year-old? Here’s what she has to say.

Unexpected is both an indictment of society as a whole and an attempt to be the next Teen Mom.

But when Hunter and Bella conceived, he wasn’t a candidate to be a “teen dad.”

She was 14, and he was 12.

Bella has just recently turned 16. She says that Hunter turned 13 shortly after their catastrophic contraceptive failure.

This week, she took to TikTok to address speculation that she will — or “should” — face legal consequences.

@_izabellamarie sorry i talk with my hands a lot lol #rumors #15andpregnant💙 #boymama #teenmom #mamasboy @KrisNFalen ♬ original sound – bella🐆🎱 | boy mama 💙👶🏼

“I definitely think it is overdue for me to make this video,” the 16-year-old began.

“Y’all have really hit the mark with me,” Bella admitted.

“I know they say that when you’re on TV, you can’t let things get to you,” she acknowledged.

“But,” Bella emphasized, “you guys are way overdoing it.”

She declared: “There’s so much more that people have put out there that is a lie.”

“Hunter is a father! Just because he was 12 [when he got me pregnant], he turned 13 a few days later!” Bella argued.

“I understand it doesn’t make it any better. I understand,” she added.

Bella continued: “He was sexually ready faster than I was, and that’s OK. But I was ready when we had sex.”

She urged: “You can all stop saying it was illegal and that I raped him, because I didn’t. It was both consensual on both sides.”

Bella emphasized: “People have already said that. We have already talked to the cops about it. It was consensual.”

Additionally, Bella hit back at claims that she “ruined” Hunter’s life.

“When I found out I was pregnant, I gave Hunter the option,” she described.

Bella recalled: “I said, ‘If you can’t do this or you don’t want to be here, that is fine, I understand. I can do this on my own or with you. It’s your decision. Whatever you choose I’m fine with.’”

She continued: “He chose to stay with me. He chose to take care of our baby. Y’all can all stop saying that now.”

Bella also defended her mother, claiming that both her and her sister being pregnant as teens was “not a parenting issue.”

First of all, it sounds like Bella and Hunter were a little over a year apart.

While these are arguably developmentally normal times to develop an interest in sex, that is a big age gap when at least one party is a middle schooler. If they’d both been in high school, the only issue would be the pregnancy.

Secondly, no, Bella didn’t “ruin” Hunter’s life. They were both involved in this. You might argue that they have ruined each other’s lives (and Wes’ life), but clearly, Bella would disagree.

It’s really important to note that Bella and Hunter are both children. That’s why they’ve made life-altering mistakes.

This is a tragedy. TLC is turning their story and others into sideshow entertainment. One day, when Bella is mature enough to see her situation clearly, she’ll likely understand the horror that we feel for her, for Hunter, and for baby Wes.

It looks like another messy divorce for actress and model Jaime King.

Yes, less than two years after King finalized her split from Kyle Newman, her second husband, Austin Sosa, has filed for divorce.

The move comes just six months after Jaime and Austin tied the knot.

In fact, the marriage is so new that until this week, no one knew that Jaime had remarried!

She and Austin announced their engagement back in July. Now, it seems that the couple secretly got hitched that same month.

Austin filed for divorce on Thursday, and while the reason for his decision remains unknown, many believe that the news has to do with Jaime’s recent behavior.

TMZ was the first to break the news of the divorce, and the outlet also notes that Jaime has been spotted around Los Angeles “getting cozy” with hotelier Vikram Chatwal.

Again, we don’t know why Sosa chose to pull the plug, but it’s interesting that the move came amid rumors about King and Chatwal.

In a statement to Page Six, King revealed that she was “blindsided” by the filing.

“I was completely blindsided by the divorce filing, which came out of nowhere,” King said, adding:

“I was with Austin the night before it became public, and while like many marriages we had normal challenges, I genuinely believed we were working on our relationship.”

She went on to claim that there was nothing untoward about her relationship with Chatwal, saying:

“Any recent interactions being referenced publicly were strictly professional business meetings and have no connection to this private matter.”

News of Jaime’s engagement to Austin, an investment banker, was confirmed by her publicist after King was spotted sporting a massive diamond ring over the summer.

“Jaime is embracing a joyful new chapter with her engagement to Austin Sosa,” said the rep, adding:

“She’s especially happy to share this moment with her children, who have a loving bond with Austin and his family.”

King lost custody of her sons following her first divorce.

In court documents, Newman alleged, among other things, that she had drank and used drugs while pregnant.

In the engagement announcement, Jaime’s rep noted that her sons are once again involved in her life.

“Her sons remain her top priority, and she kindly asks for privacy as they move forward together with love and gratitude,” the publicist said, adding:

“She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year,”

Neither King nor her team have publicly commented on this week’s divorce filing. We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Kylie Kelce has opened up about something deeply personal and very painful.

On a recent episode of her “Not Gonna Lie” podcast, the 33-year old showed support for Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month by getting candid about how she previously suffered a miscarriage.

The tragedy took place before Kylie and husband Jason Kelce welcomed their first daughter, Wyatt.

Explaining that her first positive pregnancy test came in August 2018, Kylie told listeners that she went to the doctor at six weeks pregnant — and, while the baby was measuring a few days small, everything else appeared normal.

She and her husband then traveled to London ahead of her 12-week appointment, telling her in-laws about the impending child during this trip.

“We made it a point to surprise Jason’s mom and dad when we were there by pretending to take a photo and telling them that we were expecting,” Kylie said of Donna and Ed Kelce, getting choked up on air.

“We surprised Jason’s mom and dad with a video. We also surprised Jason’s Aunt Judy and his grandmother, Grandma Mary. When we were in Cleveland, we surprised [Jason’s brother] Travis with little baby booties. All of these interactions were recorded for memory purposes.”

And then the couple learned about their loss.

“I emphasize the fact that this still hurts after having four children, because it does. And it’s okay,” said Kylie,, who is mother to daughters Wyatt, 6, Elliotte, 4, Bennett, 2, and Finn, 6 months.

Kylie then recalled going to her doctor’s appointment when she learned that she had lost the baby.

“It felt like everything went into slow motion,” she said. “And they could not find the baby on the doppler…

“I remember being like, ‘Oh, there isn’t a heartbeat. You didn’t find one because there isn’t one.’ They estimated that the baby had stopped developing between, I believe, it was nine and 10 weeks.

“Essentially, I had had what you would refer to as a missed miscarriage. It means that your body did not realize that the pregnancy was no longer viable.”

During the episode, Kylie took breaks because she grew so emotional about the challenging period of time.

“It was a sh-tty day because it was Jason’s birthday,” she continued. “I called my mom and told her that I couldn’t tell Jason because it was his birthday, which seems very silly. It seems very silly because obviously I’m going to tell my husband what happened. And I did. And it was hard for both of us.”

Kylie said the experience “messed with” her brain in subsequent pregnancies, adding:

“So for Wyatt, we did not share that we were pregnant until I was after 20 weeks. For consecutive pregnancies, I waited till I was at least 16 weeks. I Googled almost every week what the percentage likelihood was that a baby could survive, which sounds really dark. I literally did it for Finn.”

Kylie debuted her latest child in April.

She has often spoken honestly about her kids and about parenthood, but never before like this about her miscarriage.

At the conclusion of the segment, Kelce noted that she chose to share her story as a way to support those going through a similar loss.

“It just never leaves you. It is scarring and stays with you in a way that is yours only. Whether you have a loss at six weeks or 13 weeks or whenever, that loss is real,” she said.

“I think it’s important to have people around you that understand what you’re going through and who are in on the struggles that you’re having and feeling. And I think it’s really important to have an open dialogue with your doctors.”
