Former Prince Andrew Referenced His ‘Royal C–k’ While Picking Up Women, …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Last week, we reported that the man formerly known as Prince Andrew is under investigation by police in the UK.

Andrew, of course, was a longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein.

And before she took her own life, an American woman named Virginia Giuffre accused Andrew of raping her while she was being trafficked by Epstein.

Now, new allegations about Andrew’s interactions with women have come to light thanks to a reissued biography of the former royal.

As its title suggests, Andrew Lownie’s Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York is not exactly a flattering portrayal of the ex-prince.

And the new edition that hit stores today contains even more startling revelations.

“His chat-up line was, ‘What’s it feel like to have the royal c–k against your thigh?’” Lownie told Page Six while promoting the book. “I mean, just [an] extraordinary sense of entitlement, right?”

In the tell-all, Lownie recounts an incident in which Andrew introduces himself to a flight attendant and then “whirls around, basically sticks his groin in her backside and then practices [a] golf swing.”

Lownie added that he’s heard “just lots and lots of stories” of Andrew behaving abhorrently, adding that the former royal has “a strong sense of entitlement”

And according to Lownie, Andrew’s bad behavior was not limited to Epstein Island.

“It’s sort of sexual humiliation,” Lownie claimed, a “pulling down the zips” on women’s dresses at balls and “leaving them embarrassed.”

In February, Andrew was arrested on his 66th birthday. He was released the same day, but his legal troubles are far from over.

Andrew has been stripped of his land and titles as a result of the allegations.

If convicted of all of the charges against him, Andrew could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.

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

Lisa Rinna Trashes Spencer Pratt Mayoral Race: ‘I’m a Reality Person. You …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Lisa Rinna is weighing in on Los Angeles’ high-stakes mayoral race.

Specifically, she’s referring to crystal connoisseur and former The Hills villain Spencer Pratt’s run.

Fans of Pratt may argue that the former Real Housewife is being too harsh.

His critics, on the other hand, may observe that she’s being entirely too generous.

Who should be the next mayor of Los Angeles?

After confirming to Variety that she is a very political person, Rinna noted that the mayoral race “is a good question.”

“I am gonna say … I don’t know yet,” she admitted.

The election is on June 2, 2026. That is next week. One can never fathom the mind of an undecided voter.

“Not a reality star, though,” Rinna continued. That is, clearly, a reference to Pratt.

“I’m sorry,” she expressed. “I love him, but we’ve already done that. We’re not gonna do that again.”

Sagely, Rinna warned of the risks that Pratt “could be” the next mayor, ill-advised and unqualified though he may be.

“He’s got power behind him,” she cautioned.

Rinna then explained how she knows, firsthand, why Pratt simply has no business being mayor of the second largest city in America.

“I’m a reality person,” she pointed out. “You wouldn’t want me as mayor.”

She then reiterated that she has no personal dislike towards Pratt. Rather, she simply wants what’s best for LA — which could, obviously, never be him.

Is she really as ‘undecided’ as she implied?

It is possible that Rinna is not actually undecided about the Los Angeles mayoral race.

Celebrity endorsements can be a thorny topic.

And, in highlighting that she herself is unqualified for such a role without experience in such a role, Rinna might undercut any endorsement that she might make in the same breath.

However, by not endorsing anyone, she places the focus upon how disastrous Pratt would be for the city.

Or perhaps we are simply telling ourselves this because the alternative is to believe that she’s undecided a week before election day.

It’s never gonna stop being funny/sad how absolutely *terrified* conservative men are of just like… cities.

When Rinna points out that Pratt “has power behind him,” she’s right.

There are numerous questions about the financing behind his campaign.

Given his and Heidi Montag’s infamous money troubles — such as when they burned through their initial The Hills fortune as if their reality stardom would never end — he’s clearly not self-financing.

Pratt has received an endorsement from Donald Trump. Truly a clown-for-clown political action.

Last year, New York City elected its most normal, most progressive mayor in living memory. Los Angeles has the chance to, at the very least, not do the opposite of that.

But voters are fickle and seldom rational. So we’ll wait and see, and hope for the best for the city’s millions of residents.

2BYG Releases New Single ‘I Want You’

2BYG I Want You

2BYG have released a new single, “I Want You,” via Waystar Records/Def Jam Recordings. The Texas R&B quartet released the track on May 22, 2026, ahead of the deluxe version of their 2025 debut mixtape, The Yearbook (Extended Version), which is set for release on June 12, 2026. The new recording features a sample from Biz Markie’s “Make the Music With Your Mouth, Biz.”

“I Want You” connects 2BYG’s group vocals with the late rapper’s 1986 single, reworking the source material for a new R&B setting. Tara Hall, widow of Biz Markie, said the recording honors his place in hip-hop culture. “It warms my heart to see 2BYG honor Biz Markie on their new track,” Hall said. “They’re introducing Biz to an entirely new generation, while reinforcing the importance of respect, acknowledgment, and reciprocation in the culture.” The announcement also notes that a music video for “I Want You” is expected to premiere in the near future.

The single follows “Be Mine,” which picked up playlist attention after its release, and arrives as 2BYG continue to build out the world around their debut project. The group also recently released a music video for “Someone Like You,” another song from the set. Earlier tracks from the project include “Oh Yeah” and “Twin,” which helped introduce the quartet’s mix of R&B, soul, hip-hop, pop, and gospel.

Earlier this year, the group performed on Netflix’s Star Search. Their selection was a version of *NSYNC’s “It’s Gonna Be Me” for panelists Jelly Roll, Chrissy Teigen, and Sarah Michelle Gellar. Last year, meanwhile, 2BYG released “One Christmas Wish” and performed the holiday song on FOX 4 News Dallas-Fort Worth. The Dallas-Fort Worth group has more than 1 million followers on TikTok and made its introduction with the single “Karma.”

Every Country Artist Who Won An Award At The 2026 AMAs

Last night, the 52nd annual American Music Awards aired live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, marking the largest venue in the show’s history. Hosted by Queen Latifah, the three-hour show celebrated the year’s biggest artists, chart-topping songs, through standout performances and wins across multiple genres, including country music.

While only two country artists were on hand to accept their awards during the live broadcast, several more country acts also took home wins, which were announced following the star-studded event.

Starting off with the awards that were announced in person, Darius Rucker was honored with the Veterans Voice Award presented by USAA’s Honor Through Action, recognizing the meaningful impact he has made in the veteran community through his advocacy and charitable efforts.

Rucker ended his moving speech by calling attention to one particular interaction he once had with a veteran, using it as a reminder for the crowd about the importance of living in a way that honors their sacrifice.

“He said to me that when somebody says to them, ‘Thank you for his service,’ he says, ‘Thank you for living the life, we’re serving.’ And that’s what we all should be doing right now. We should be striving to live, to become a community and become a country that we deserve what they sacrifice. So tonight I want us all to be as loud as we can and yell and use our voices to let these folks know that we love them and we appreciate them and we thank them.”

Sam Barber was also present to claim his win for Breakthrough Country Artist. He was up against Tucker Wetmore and Zach Top in the category.

“This is unreal, I never thought I’d be in a position like this. So thank you,” Barber stated in his speech, after thanking every Veteran, whether they were present or not, for their sacrifice.

After the show finished airing, a complete list of winners was announced, revealing the award recipients in the remaining country music categories.

Morgan Wallen entered the night one of the highest nominees overall and the most nominated in the country category with seven nods. He took home Best Male Country Artist, after vying for the win against fellow nominees Jelly Roll, Luke combs, Riley Green, and Shaboozey.

Ella Langley took home two wins in the categories of Best Female Country Artist and Best Country Song with “Choosin’ Texas.”

Last but not least, Zac Brown Band scored the title of Best Country Duo or Group and Megan Moroney took home Best Country Album for her 2026 project, Cloud 9.

Other country artists who were nominated but did not take home a win included: Shaboozey, BigXthaPlug, Bailey Zimmerman, Russell Dickerson, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson, Brooks & Dunn, Old Dominion, Treaty Oak Revival, Zac Brown Band, and Rascal Flatts.

Although he did not earn a trophy, Green did deliver his debut performance on the AMAs stage with “Worst Way.” Plus, Keith Urban performed the soft-rock classic “Summer Breeze” off his upcoming yacht rock album, Flow State, arriving June 12.

Sydney Sweeney: Career Doomed by NSFW ‘Euphoria’ Scenes?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Each week, millions of HBO viewers watch the over-the-top drama and various twists and turns of Euphoria.

When the teen series first launched in 2019, one of the breakout stars was Sydney Sweeney.

She has gone on to take on phenomenal acting roles across a spectrum of genres, earning acclaim for her acting.

But some worry that her nude and all-around NSFW Euphoria scenes could ruin her career in the long run.

Can a role be too steamy for a sustainable career?

On Sunday, May 24, Sweeney once again went topless for Euphoria Season 3, Episode 7: “Rain or Shine.”

For the scene, viewers saw the POV of looking up at her while she pretended to have fairly energetic sex.

Topless moments like this one have been going viral throughout the show’s history.

And though her character, Cassie Howard, is an objectively terrible person, she has continued to draw eyes.

Season 3 followed her character’s journey as an OnlyFans creator. Though many sex workers have noted that the “easy money” narrative is not realistic for the vast majority of performers, many viewers have enjoyed the storyline for obvious reasons.

Crisis and reputation management expert Dave Quast spoke to Fox News about the double-edged sword of Sweeney’s nude scenes in Euphoria.

“‘Euphoria’ clearly helped establish Sydney Sweeney as a fearless performer, physically and emotionally, and that’s part of why she broke through,” Quast began.

“The risk is that when the public conversation focuses more on the sexualized aspects of the role than on the performance,” he explained, “the same work that made her seem daring can start to narrow the brand.”

Quast did correctly clarify: “Sexuality on screen is not inherently unserious.”

He added: “The problem is when it becomes the dominant shorthand for the actor.””

So what is the real challenge?

“For Sweeney, the challenge is not that she has played sexualized roles,” Quast reasoned.

He clarified: “The challenge is making sure those roles continue to read as character choices, not as the entire brand proposition.”

That’s not to say that Quast thinks that her career is doomed, by any measure.

“Visibility is currency, and Sweeney has become one of the rare young actresses who can reliably generate conversation around almost anything she does,” he praises.

Quast acknowledged: “That has real commercial value.”

PHOTO THREE

There are obvious pitfalls to being something of a lightning rod — even if there are commercial applications.

Sweeney’s jeans ad last summer ignited a firestorm, through no real fault of her own.

Conservative panelists highlighted a handful of people who (not unreasonably) found the eugenics implications of the “good jeans” pun to be off-putting.

Against her will, Sweeney became the epicenter of a national discussion. To some, her relative silence after the scandal seemed like a confirmation of people’s worst assumptions, rather than a fear of stirring the hornet’s nest.

Truth be told, her Euphoria role — with Cassie Howard espousing conservative views and hurling slurs — cannot have helped.

There’s a chance that sexualization could make things worse for her. But Sweeney also has a lot of defenders who first paid attention to her because she’s really, really hot.
