The NCIS: Origins season 1 finale seemingly killed a main character, introduced a new character from Gibbs’ future and potentially added fuel to an Us fan theory. During the Monday, April 28, finale of the hit CBS series, Gibbs’ ( Austin Stowell ) connection to Pedro Hernandez’s death was investigated by Lala’s ( Mariel Molino ) friend Macy ( Claire Berger ). Lala, Franks ( Kyle Schmid ) and, ultimately, Randy ( Caleb Foote) get caught up in trying to clear Gibbs’ name — despite knowing that he killed Pedro. Gibbs owned up to killing the drug cartel member, a decision he made after Hernandez murdered Gibbs’ wife and daughter (before the beginning of the series). Gibbs’ admission came before he nearly kissed Lala. The finale ended with Lala convincing her friend not to turn Gibbs in — before her own fate was tested when Lala got into a possibly fatal car accident on the way to tell him the good news. Gibbs, meanwhile, was at his old house having a meet cute with his future wife ...

It comes following wider controversy surrounding their performance at Coachella 2025 , which has generated mainstream attention over the past week.

Laverne Cox compared the cancellation of her Amazon Prime Video series Clean Slate to taking “a dagger to [her] heart.” “I’m still processing [the cancellation],” Cox, 52, exclusively told Us Weekly at the opening of The Tryst Puerto Vallarta on Friday, April 25. “We found out a few weeks before we announced it and I cried like a baby.” Clean Slate — which Cox created and produced with costar George Wallace and Dan Ewen — revolved around 40-year-old Desiree (Cox) returning to her small Alabama hometown to come out as a trans woman to her father (Wallace) after a 23-year estrangement. Cox confirmed earlier in April that Prime Video was not moving forward with a second season. “Of course, I’ve had shows canceled before, but I’ve never birthed a show, a scripted television show. It’s been like it was my baby more than any other scripted project I’ve been a part of,” she confessed to Us . “So, it was just so close and it was loosely based on my life. So, it was devastating, and I...

Former Dancing With The Stars contestant Lele Pons fell over twice during her gender reveal announcement on Friday, April 25. TikTok footage showed the scary moment when Pons, 28, slipped and hit the ground two times in a row directly after confirming to friends and family that she is expecting a daughter with her husband, rapper Guaynaa (real name: Jean Carlos Santiago Pérez). In the startling footage, Pons and Guaynaa were seen inviting their loved ones to stand on either side of a stage depending on whether they thought the pair were expecting a boy or a girl. The couple were situated in front of a fake “TNT” buzzer as their family members picked sides. Once Pons pressed the “TNT” buzzer, pink slime poured down from the ceiling all over her friends and family who’d correctly predicted the couple were having a baby girl.
