A brand-new Miss USA has been crowned at one of the biggest beauty pageants of the year. Miss Virginia was crowned the winner on Thursday, August 27, at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County in Miami. Competing against 50 other women, Justus Kelley wowed the judges with her brains, beauty and talents. Kelley’s win marked a history-making moment at the event as she became the first mom – as well as the first married woman – to be crowned Miss USA. In 2023, the event changed the rules that previously prevented women with children from winning the pageant. The rule change also removed the age cap that was previously in place.

Jelly Roll got serious during his final monologue as guest host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” fighting back tears as he rejected the political labels placed on him. Specifically, during Thursday’s opening address, the country singer reflected on his viral Grammys speech, in which he said, “Jesus is not owned by one political party.” However, when he declined to expand upon this stance in the Grammys press room, calling himself a “dumb redneck,” people made plenty of assumptions about his beliefs. “For the for the last six months, I’ve watched people decide who I am, what I am, what I believe, what I support and what I don’t support,” the Grammy winner sounded off. “And I felt that even more this week, just because I told a couple of jokes. And honestly, this goes back further for me, y’all. This goes back to February this year.” Jelly Roll called the 2026 Grammys “the single greatest moment and the greatest honor of my career,” adding, “I got called on that stage. I got handed an award that I’ve been dreaming about since I was a child. And immediately after, I was asked to make what I felt at the time was a…

Hollywood is in mourning following the death of country music icon and actress Dolly Parton. “A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth and kindness that made us all feel like family,” Parton’s rep said in a statement. “Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion and resilience. … Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.” Although a cause of death was not revealed, Parton’s team said the 9 to 5 actress died peacefully in Nashville on Tuesday, August 25, at the age of 80.

Seth Meyers roasted Sean Hannity for his smug reaction to IndyCar’s successful Freedom 250 race, encouraging the conservative pundit to “just take the win.” During Thursday’s episode of “A Closer Look: Out of Office,” the late night host weighed in on the Freedom 250 Grand Prix, which took place across Saturday and Sunday. Namely, Meyers called out the Fox News personality for posting on X after the successful event, “They said Washington could never host an actual race. Six military branches, a green flag from the President himself and Air Force One buzzing the finish line later, D.C. just proved them all wrong.” “So again, who the f–k said you couldn’t do it? Why can’t you just take the win?” Meyers sounded off, prompting a laugh from his co-host, Sal Gentile. “You finally do something that even I will concede [was a success] … Just take the win. You’re the most incompetent administration. Everything you do turns to s–t. And you have one thing that goes off smoothly and it’s like, ‘Told ya.’” He added: “Like, eat crow?! I had to Google today … whether it had happened or not. Like, that’s how little I paid attention to this.” Meyers then…

Tony Romo is in contact with CBS Sports about “next steps” after being placed on leave following his July OWI arrest, his representative shared Thursday.

Robert De Niro often analyzes the difficulty of balancing a career and fatherhood. The Oscar winner got candid about the struggles he’s faced during his years in the spotlight, admitting there’s not really a secret when it comes to finding balance in parenthood, especially as he still finds it hard to be away from his kids while he’s working. “I don’t know if there is a secret. It’s just managing it all,” De Niro shared with ‘People’ in an interview published Aug. 27. “And there’s no way around not feeling a little guilty about not being there at times you should or you think you should.” And despite being a father seven times over, it’s always “a new experience." He added, “It’s not like you’ve taken courses on it and stuff. You can, of course, but you don’t. You just jump in and you have the child and you got to… That’s it.” The 83-year-old adopted his eldest daughter Drena, 54, when he married her mom, ex-wife Diahnne Abbott.

The “Gimme More” hitmaker was released from a 13-year conservatorship in 2021.

Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday renaming Lake Ontario, with it now known as “Lake America.” Andrea Horwath, mayor of Hamilton, Ontario, pushed back on Trump’s renaming by assigning herself a new position during an appearance on CNN’s “The Lead.” “We’re on the edge of Lake Ontario, but we’re also known as the head of the lake. So if Hamilton’s the head of the lake, does that make me the head of America?” Horwath asked. “This is how silly things have gotten, right? I mean, if I was the head of America, or the mayor of America, I’d drop the tariffs right now and get people back to work.” This isn’t the first time Trump has used his time in office to Americanize the names of bodies of water. Notably, in January 2025, the president spent the early days of his second presidential term to sign a similar executive order renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America.” As Trump’s tariff war with Canada heats up, Horwath noted that she’s “been there, done that” with Trump’s name changes. “I’m Hamilton’s mayor, so what I’m focused on is getting people working, making sure that we’re doing everything we…

Viola Davis called out Target over its apology after the retailer pulled a children’s costume widely criticized as racist. The Oscar winner responded to the corporation’s mea culpa, in which they acknowledged they “got this wrong,” in an Instagram post Tuesday, where she refused to accept their apology. “Target, I do not accept your apology, and I do not believe that you understand the impact… the pain… the dehumanization of the above,” the legendary actress, who is best known for her work in “The Woman King,” “Doubt,” “Fences,” “The Help,” “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” and “How to Get Away With Murder,” wrote. Alongside her caption, Davis shared a screengrab of the costume in question, which was originally described as a “Kids’ Glows under Blacklight Circus Clown” outfit and featured a black-and-orange bodysuit with a hood that included a large, printed-on smile and small top hat. However, as many online pointed out after the kids’ outfit was advertised on Target’s site, the costume was reminiscent of 19th-century minstrel, which perpetuated Black stereotypes and mocked Black people via its use of Black face. “These images laid the foundation and the ideology for every atrocity that has been committed against my people,” Davis…

Pinky down for one KATSEYE member. Two days before the girl group was set to take the stage at Olivia Rodrigo’s inaugural Daisy Chain Fields music festival, KATSEYE announced they are backing out due to an injury that Megan Skiendiel sustained. “Megan sprained her ankle yesterday during tour rehearsal,” the group shared in a statement to their Instagram Stories Aug. 27, “and after being evaluated by doctors, she has been advised to stay off it and allow it to properly heal so we can be ready for our upcoming tour.” Although the “Pinky Up” band originally debuted with six members, they have since gone down to four after Sophia LaForteza and Manon Bannerman went on hiatus in early August and February, respectively, with both citing health concerns as the reason for their departures.

Grace Kelley will remain behind bars for her delivery. While the 30-year-old daughter of Wynonna Judd filed a request to be temporarily released from prison to give birth to her second child, the request was denied by a judge in July, according to court documents obtained by E! News Aug. 27. Kelley is currently serving a 15-month sentence in Virginia’s Rockingham County Jail after pleading guilty to a misdemeanor charge of driving with a suspended or revoked license following her October 2025 arrest. The July 2 filing made on Kelley’s behalf revealed she was pregnant and due to give birth “on or about Aug. 16, 2026.” Her lawyer Robert G. Munro asked that she be released from prison while she gives birth in a hospital, where she would “be confined to bed” for three days following the birth. The request, however, was denied by Judge Clark A. Ritchie. It has not been confirmed whether Kelley has since given birth. Kelley is also mom to 4-year-old Kaliyah Grace, to whom she gave birth while on a leave of absence from jail as she was serving time for a parole violation stemming from a 2016 arrest. Kaliyah has lived with her grandmother,…
