Erika Kirk Played an Assassin In a Movie, and Social Media Users Are Shocked

Reading Time: 2 minutes

These days, Erika Kirk is a household name.

In the months since Charlie Kirk was shot and killed during a speaking engagement, Erika has been on a nonstop press tour — hosting rallies, visiting the White House, and sitting for constant interviews.

But even though she kept a much lower profile during her marriage to Charlie, Erika is no stranger to the spotlight.

Erika Kirk discusses the newly released book "Stop, In The Name of God: Why Honoring The Sabbath Will Transform Your Life" on "Hannity" at Fox News Channel Studios on December 08, 2025 in New York City.

The former beauty queen and college athlete even made an appearance on the Bravo reality show Summer House before she met her husband, and she says there was talk of her joining the cast on a full-time basis.

And like many young people with aspirations of fame and fortune, Erika briefly tried her hand at acting.

It seems that her only surviving project is an unreleased action thriller titled November Renaissance.

And much is being made of the fact that Erika seems to have played an assassin in the movie.

“YOU CAN’T MAKE THIS UP: Photo of Erika Frantzve on a roof with a sniper rifle from the military assassination movie she starred in. She is quite the actress,” the X (formerly Twitter) account Sword of Truth posted, adding:

“Who DIDN’T Erika Frantzve Kirk date? New footage reveals she was in a military assassination movie November Renaissance and allegedly dated one of her co-stars.”

While multiple media outlets have run with these claims, we can’t confirm or deny that Kirk — whose maiden name was Erika Frantzve — starred in such a film.

And we certainly can’t confirm that she dated her co-star (although she was single at the time, so we’re not sure why it would be controversial if she had).

Naturally, Erika has not publicly acknowledged these allegations, and it’s unlikely that she ever will.

Even if they’re true, the claim that she once starred in an unreleased, low-budget thriller is not exactly earth-shattering.

Many have criticized Erika’s behavior in the months since Charlie’s death.

She’s been accused of exploiting her husband’s murder and neglecting her two young children, ages 1 and 3 (and many have pointed out Charlie’s belief that a mother’s place is at home with her kids).

But the fact that she starred in a movie long before she met her husband is hardly relevant to that discussion. And the nature of the film — and her role in it — are even less relevant.

Karley Scott Collins & Keith Urban: Are They Dating?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

What is the truth?

Earlier this month, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban ended their whirlwind breakup, finalizing their divorce.

With that over, interest in their next romances has only spiked.

Is Karley Scott Collins the Country singer’s new gal?

Is she Keith Urban’s new love? (No)

On Sunday, January 18, Collins took to her Instagram Story to share a headline.

“Keith Urban moved in with Karley Scott Collins?” the text read. “Fresh speculation amid divorce.”

She did not specify the source, but context clues point to a certain British tabloid.

Collins didn’t keep anyone in suspense.

“Yall, this is absolutely RIDICULOUS and untrue,” she wrote, alongside a cry-laughing emoji.

The rumor seems to have originated in a report by The Daily Mail.

According to the report, Urban had moved on with someone already — a much younger woman.

(Rumor has linked him to multiple young women — Collins is in her mid-20s — but all without proof)

The report claimed that his and Kidman’s daughters are Team Mom because of his alleged ultra-young rebound.

Well, if that’s true, it isn’t Collins.

Who is Karley Scott Collins?

Collins is an actress and a singer-songwriter. She is from Florida, and was born in 1999.

You may have seen her portraying Gretel on Once Upon A Time or a young Paris Hilton in Hottie and the Nottie.

As a tween, she had to learn guitar for an audition. She ended up falling in love with playing.

Collins has been putting out music as an adult for several years.

In May 2025, she began touring as an opening act on Keith Urban’s 2025 High and Alive World Tour along with several others.

Collins also has a single, “Write One,” that features Urban.

Last year, she gave the singer a birthday shout-out on Instagram.

“Happy birthday @keithurban!!!” she wrote at the time.

“I am so grateful for the time we spent on the road with you,” Collins gushed, “and everything the boys and I had the opportunity to learn from you and your team.”

That’s very sweet! But, notably, not really sexual or romantic.

Where are these rumors coming from?

To be blunt, Collins is very pretty.

Urban is very famous and newly single. The circumstances of his very famous divorce are still eliciting questions.

People like to feel like they’ve solved a mystery.

In this case, if the divorce was because an aging musician wanted to chase women barely older than his own kids, that’s a familiar story.

For now, that means any woman within arm’s reach is going to keep catching stray accusations of being his new woman.

Paige DeSorbo Pregnant? Her Fertility Journey, Explained

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Is Paige DeSorbo pregnant?

In 2024, she and Craig Conover had a quiet and then very loud and public breakup.

They had apparently discussed things like marriage and children before the split.

The reality TV personalities have each moved on. Is Paige moving forward with her plans to become a mom?

A less-than-pleased Paige DeSorbo speaks and gestures on 'Summer House' on Bravo.

Paige DeSorbo has opened up about baby plans

On the May 14, 2025 episode of her Giggly Squad podcast, Paige DeSorbo and co-host Hannah Berner discussed her plans for the future.

She clarified that she was not rushing towards maternity.

But, at 32, she knows that her options will narrow in the years to come.

She has her eye on motherhood.

Over Mother’s Day weekend that some month, Paige revealed, she had undergone an egg-freezing procedure.

“You wanna know why I felt maternal?” she shared.

“This is how I knew: Walking down the streets of New York City, I was like, ‘If anyone steps to me right now with my eggs just brewing and ready to be taken out, I’ll f—king cut someone.’”

Notably, egg-extraction is an invasive procedure that involves hormonal treatments ahead of time.

These injections can result in a number of dramatic emotional highs and lows.

She had a positive experience with her egg retrieval

Paige DeSorbo raved over Dr. Joshua Klein, the reproductive endocrinologist who performed her egg retrieval. Dr. Klein is also the co-founder of New York City’s Extend Fertility clinic.

“He was amazing,” she praised. “I felt smarter after being around him. Every time he said, ‘Good question’ to me, I was like, ‘I’m a good student.’” (And is that not, at the end of the day, what we all crave?)

Paige detailed that she received her hormone injection on May 7 and underwent the retrieval on May 9.

Extracting more than two dozen eggs, she shared, took only around 20 minutes.

“My mom came down with me,” Paige dished. “They retrieved a total of 28 eggs … I only had 13 survive. So I have 13 frozen now… That’s a really good amount of eggs.”

The hormonal treatment and procedure takes a toll on the human body.

By comparison, sperm collection is much easier. With that in mind, she’s unsure if she’d do it again — and, if she did, it would not be for several months.

“I need to give my body a break,” Paige reasoned.

“I’m very proud of myself for like doing the whole process… It felt very serendipitous that I did it over Mother’s Day weekend. I truly do feel less pressure. It’s like, OK, and even if I only have one child, that is what is meant for the world.”

Paige DeSorbo makes an expressive facial expression on 'Summer House' Season 9.

Is Paige DeSorbo currently pregnant?

She has spoken on her podcast in the past about how she had, at one time, imagined becoming a mother around this age. But she is not a mother, or even pregnant yet.

Now, she is focusing on her career.

But she would love the option of having children when she’s 39 or 40. Wisely, she would like to keep the door open.

Most fertility clinics recommend using frozen eggs within a decade of retrieval.

That sounds like it fits with Paige DeSorbo’s current plans to become pregnant just fine.

David Eason Sees Daughter Ensley For First Time In 2 Years After She’s Hospitalized

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Jenelle Evans and David Eason are still in the midst of a very messy divorce.

But it seems that they briefly set aside their differences this week, when their 9-year-old daughter, Ensley, was hospitalized.

Yes, Jenelle revealed earlier in the week that Ensley was suffering from a respiratory infection, and the situation got bad enough that she needed to be hospitalized.

David Eason, Ensley Eason and Jenelle Eason attend the Cosmopolitan NYFW fashion show during New York Fashion Week at Tribeca 360 on February 08, 2019 in New York City.

And according to a report from The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, David made the trip from North Carolina to Vegas, where Jenelle now lives.

He reportedly paid a visit to the hospital shortly after he landed, marking the first time that he’s seen Ensley in two years.

The Ashley reports that David had been banned from seeing Ensley until he submitted to a court-ordered psychological evaluation.

It’s not clear if he’s taken that test yet, but he probably didn’t need any special permission to see her in this case, due to the fact that Ensley had suffered a medical emergency.

Usually, court-mediated agreements between parents include special provisions for such scenarios.

According to the terms of their temporary custody agreement, Jenelle is required to notify David about any medical emergencies.

Jenelle and David will be back in court to hammer out a more permanent custody arrangement in March.

According to Jenelle, David has made occasional phone calls to Ensley, but he has not paid any child support since she separated from him in February 2024.

Along with all three of her kids, Jenelle moved from North Carolina to Vegas in the summer of 2024.

She had hoped to escape the volatility of her life back east, but many of her problems made the trip with her.

Not long after the move to Vegas, Jenelle sent her youngest son, Kaiser, back to North Carolina to live with his grandmother.

Her other son, Jace, ran away from home several times, and Jenelle wound up trying multiple living arrangements, including sending him to North Carolina to live with his grandmother and to Florida to live with his father.

Both arrangements were short-lived, and while his whereabouts are not quite clear, it now looks as though the 16-year-old is back living in North Carolina.

As for Ensley, she’s expected to make a full recovery. And thankfully, it looks as though there was no confrontation between her parents in the hospital room.

Michelle Pfeiffer Divorced: Her History of Marriage, Explained

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Michelle Pfeiffer has been married and divorced during her legendary acting career.

Along the way, she had a few Dangerous Liaisons that didn’t involve tying the knot.

From John Malkovich to Kevin Costner, some of acting’s biggest names are notches on her bedpost.

Where do things stand today?

Michelle Pfeiffer’s first husband was Peter Horton

Before rising to the household name status that she has enjoyed for decades, Michelle Pfeiffer attended an acting class that Milton Katselas taught.

There, she met another young actor, Peter Horton. The to began dating, and things became serious.

In 1981, Pfeiffer and Horton married in Santa Monica. This was right before she discovered that she’d landed the lead role in Grease 2. (Literally; she found out on their honeymoon)

She and Horton worked together. He directed her in One Too Many in 1985, where she played the high school girlfriend of Val Kilmer. In 1987, she and Horten played a couple in John Landis’ comedy compilation, Amazon Women on the Moon. (Fortunately, their skit did not involve any helicopters)

In 1988, they separated. Two years later, Michelle Pfeiffer and Peter Horton were divorced. Horton would later blame their careers for how their marriage fell apart.

John Malkovich

Pfeiffer co-starred in 1988’s Dangerous Liaisons adaptation. (If you’re unfamiliar, it’s just the original version of Cruel Intentions — with French aristocrats instead of mean New York youths)

As sometimes happens with people who work closely together at unusual hours, they developed an intense bond.

Awkwardly, Malkovich was still married to Glenne Headly, his first wife. And Pfeiffer and Peter Horner had not yet divorced, though clearly their marriage was winding to a close.

Affairs are complicated. So are on-again, off-again entanglements between actors.

Eventually, Pfeiffer and Malkovich parted ways — but reportedly remain cordial, at least.

Fisher Stevens

In 1986, Michelle Pfeiffer (who was years away from being divorced) and actor-slash-producer Fisher Stevens worked together on The Boss’ Wife.

They had originally met when she starred as Olivia in Twelfth Night in the New York Shakespeare Festival production. Stevens had portrayed Sir Andrew Aguecheek.

Over time, sparks flew, and Pfeiffer and Stevens engaged in a three-year romance.

Of course, both were professional actors with busy careers.

They ended up splitting in 1989.

Kevin Costner

We could spend all day listing all of Pfeiffer’s big-name entanglements. Almost always, she remains the biggest name in the bunch.

One such memorable connection was Kevin Costner.

The two men when filming the 1992 movie, Love Field.

Unfortunately, there was once again a timing issue — Costner was still married to Cindy Silva. Whoops!

Though their steamy and short-lived romance was memorable, it couldn’t last.

David E. Kelley

In 1993, Michelle Pfeiffer married David E. Kelley. He, too, works in the entertainment industry, as a television writer and producer.

She actually made a small, uncredited cameo in his show, Picket Fences. Kelley wrote To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday, and Pfeiffer portrayed the titular character.

Pfeiffer had already begun the adoption process for newborn Claudia Rose when she met Kelley. In 1994, she gave birth to John Henry Kelley II.

In 2024, Pfeiffer became a grandmother. She only revealed this big news in September 2025.

Michelle Pfeiffer and David E. Kelley remain married and have not divorced. Sometimes you have to kiss a few frogs — or A-list actors — before you find your prince.
