Christina Applegate vows to keep fighting for the MS community after being misdiagnosed with the disease. "Even though I don’t have this disease, I’ve fallen in love with everyone that we know, our listeners, our friends that have MS. I’m still your warrior, and I’m still going to speak out on your behalf forever and ever. Despite not having MS. I still feel like part of this community. No matter what, I love you." Applegate is now facing symptoms of an undiagnosed illness, explaining: "I actually timed it today, it took me 10 minutes to be able to move off my pillow and get out of the bed and stand up, at which point I almost couldn’t walk to the bathroom, and now a walker is sitting next to my bed because of what’s going on. I don’t know what’s going on. This is what I’m still living with, and I never had that before. I was able to sit up and stuff.” (via "MesSy") variety.com/2026/tv/news/chr…

The “Friends” cast held hands and cried around Matthew Perry’s casket at his funeral, a new Netflix documentary about the actor’s life reveals. “At the funeral, we arranged for just the family to have it be open casket for a little while for all of us. The funeral was very small — close friends and family,” his sister reveals in the documentary. “The rest of the ‘Friends’ cast all walked in together. I hadn’t seen them in easily 20 years. Jen Aniston was the first one of them to come up to me and give me a huge hug. But they all did.” wp.me/pc8uak-1lI2nJ

Neil Young has filed a $10 million lawsuit against Donald Trump, alleging copyright infringement over the ongoing use of Young’s song “Rockin’ in the Free World” as the president’s walk-up music at midterm election rallies. The suit says the classic 1989 song is “a blistering anthem that contrasts the hollow promises of American political rhetoric with the harsh realities faced by the poor, homeless and forgotten. The lyrics pain vivid street-level portraits — a mother discarding her baby, addicts lost in despair, garbage piling in the shadows of prosperity — while the repeated chorus delivers a savage irony, celebrating freedom that clearly isn’t shared by all. In short, the song is the opposite of everything that Donald J. Trump stands for.” variety.com/2026/music/news/…
