Paris Jackson Claps Back at Critic Over Her Tattoos

Nothing but ink gets under her skin.Paris Jackson shut down an online critic who made a snide remark about her tattoos in the comment section of an Instagram post by E!

Getty ImagesJackson has more than 80 tattoos, many honoring her late father, Michael Jackson. Getty Images“She is gorgeous, but those tattoos just make her look dirty and takes away from her look,” the commenter wrote.Jackson answered with a line of mock panic and a winking aside: “oh no what ever will i do 😰 (i’m dirty even without the tattoos)”Other fans came to her defense in response, with one writing “your tattoos are cool as hell and you’re gorg as you are ✨” and another telling the hater: “What a shallow thing to say. Grow up.”The singer and model has amassed more than 80 designs over the years, many of which pay tribute to her late father. Michael died in 2009 at age 50, and Paris has since inked his “Dangerous” album cover on her forearm, “Queen of my Heart” in his handwriting on her wrist and the word “Applehead” — his pet name for loved ones — on her foot.Her “Dangerous” album cover forearm tattoo is one of several dedicated to the King of Pop.

Jackson alluded to her history of addiction and self harm, calling the designs marks of healing: “I can look at my inner forearms and see art that has meaning . . . I don’t see a dark past anymore. My scars and past of self-hatred have been covered by loving marks, creativity, ingenuity . . . and depth.”Jackson has been sober from alcohol and heroin for more than six years.Other tattoos include matching roses with pal Cara Delevingne and a line in Elvish on her neck from author J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings,” which translates to “a light from the shadows [shall spring].”Jackson has been sober from alcohol and heroin for more than six years, and has called the ink “loving marks” covering “scars and past of self-hatred.” Paris Jackson/InstagramHer second album, “Happiest Day of My Life,” drops Aug. 21.

The Unspoken Legacy of Putri Andriani Juficha: More Than Miss Earth Indonesia

The Unspoken Legacy of Putri Andriani Juficha: More Than Miss Earth Indonesia

Former Miss Earth Indonesia titleholder Putri Andriani Juficha has died. She was 25. “With deepest sorrow, the Miss Grand Indonesia Organization mourns the passing of Putri Andriani Juficha, Runner-Up Miss Grand Indonesia 2025,” pageant organizers wrote in a social media statement shared on Friday, August 14. “You were more than a titleholder. You were part of our Grand family, a beautiful soul whose grace, strength, and spirit touched so many hearts.” The obituary continued, “Although your journey with us has come to an end far too soon, the memories, love and light you shared will forever remain in our hearts. May you rest peacefully in the embrace of the Almighty, and may your beautiful soul find eternal peace. … May you be granted strength and comfort during this difficult time.” The pageant organization further offered its “deepest condolences and prayers” to Juficha’s family and other loved ones. “Rest in peace, Putri,” the statement concluded. “You will always be a part of our Grand family.” A cause of death for Juficha has not been publicly shared at the time of publication. Juficha, whose death was announced on what would have been her 26th birthday, won Miss Earth Indonesia in 2025. She also became the runner-up for Miss Grand Indonesia that same year. “With a commitment to environmental advocacy, she dedicates her work to promoting waste recycling, protecting rivers from pollution and safeguarding communities and the planet,” Juficha’s pageant bio read. “By combining her background in communications with her growing expertise in environmental law, she strives to empower society with knowledge and practical solutions to build a cleaner, greener, and more sustainable future.” As part of her official duties, Juficha recently served as one of the judges of the Miss Culture International pageant in June. “On duty as one of the judges of @missculture.intl Congratulations to the winner! ��,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I hope she will make a positive impact, and inspire society to protect the heritage of every nation for future generations.” Juficha last posted on Instagram last month, celebrating Spain’s triumph over Argentina in the 2026 World Cup final. “When the world of football needed a hero, Spain stepped up to save it,” she wrote via Instagram in July. “And thank you for reminding us that there is humanity behind this game. When the Palestinian flag was raised, you showed that football has a voice, too.”

Kelly Osbourne Claps Back at Dee Snider's Comments on Her Dad Ozzy

Kelly Osbourne Claps Back at Dee Snider's Comments on Her Dad Ozzy

Kelly Osbourne has fired back at Twisted Sister frontman Dee Snider for seemingly criticizing her late father, Ozzy Osbourne. “[Dee Snider’s] last hit, not to age myself, was the year I was born, over 40 years ago,” Kelly, 41, quipped via her Instagram Story on Friday, August 14. The drama started earlier this week when Snider, 71, was answering fan questions and seemingly slighted Ozzy’s songwriting prowess. The Twisted Sister star tweeted that Ozzy “always had bass players write his lyrics,” referencing his songwriting collaborations with Geezer Butler in Black Sabbath and Bob Daisley in his solo career. “I know too much about the truth behind the scenes. Let's just say that [Ozzy’s wife] Sharon [Osbourne] doesn't like to share [credit],” Snider tweeted. Kelly initially clapped back at Snider via her Instagram Story without specifically referencing him on Friday. “My father’s legacy as a musician, songwriter, singer and bandleader speaks for itself,” she insisted. “His friends, those who worked with him, those who love him and millions of fans around the world that still continue to buy his records know exactly what he meant, what he contributed and what he leaves behind. His legacy will live on eternally.” Kelly later directly called out Snider’s “spectacularly classless” comments, accusing the musician of trying to “diminish” Ozzy’s legacy “when [Ozzy] is no longer here to challenge his allegations.” “If Snider wants to invite comparisons between their careers, that comparison is devastating enough on its own,” she claimed. “Snider had a brief period of mainstream success more than 40 years ago. My father’s career spanned nearly six decades — from helping to define heavy metal with Black Sabbath to building an extraordinary solo career. His music will continue influencing generations long after all of us are gone.” The former Osbournes star questioned whether Snider’s "belittling" of Ozzy was “simply a way of getting people talking about him again.” “Because musically, the music industry moved on from Snider’s commercial peak decades ago, while my father’s name, catalogue and influence still remain globally relevant,” Kelly argued. “My father doesn’t need Dee Snider’s approval to establish his place in music history.” She concluded her Instagram Story with one final jab, writing, “I would like to thank Dee Snider for allowing the world to see how truly desperate he is.” Snider seemingly tried to deescalate tension with the Osbourne family on Friday, tweeting that he has “nothing but love for Ozzy.” “He was always lovely to me. @BlackSabbath changed my life! As a songwriter I can be a little touchy about credit and royalties,” he explained. The feud comes weeks after the Osbourne family marked the one-year anniversary of Ozzy’s death at age 76. (His death certificate later confirmed that Ozzy died from cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease.) “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning,” Ozzy’s family confirmed to Us in July 2025. “He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.” Ozzy died just 17 days after his final live performance with Black Sabbath at the Back to the Beginning concert, which took place earlier in July 2025. The all-star tribute to Ozzy’s career also featured appearances from rock icons such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses and Slayer, among many others.

Sailor Families Speak Out: The USS Abraham Lincoln Controversy

Sailor Families Speak Out: The USS Abraham Lincoln Controversy

WASHINGTON — President Trump denied family members of sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln were concerned about their loved ones Friday, adding that the aircraft carrier would soon be relieved following a nine-month deployment.“That ship is moving right now, or very shortly, and it’s being replaced with another very similar ship,” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews before departing for an event on Long Island.Multiple reports have emerged in recent days that poor living conditions and a lack of downtime has taken a severe mental toll on the roughly 5,000 service members on board the carrier, which has been stationed in the Arabian Sea since January, before the start of combat operations against Iran. President Trump dismissed family worries over the USS Abraham Lincoln’s grueling 8-month deployment, claiming it has “not nearly” been long enough. Getty ImagesAccording to the Navy Times and Wall Street Journal, at least three sailors have either tried to jump overboard or managed to do so, forcing their colleagues to rescue them or physically restrain them from going over the side.More than 200 family members met with acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao in San Diego last week to raise their issues — but Trump told reporters “no, they’re not” when a reporter noted that the relatives “are concerned about conditions” on the ship.The president also brushed off a question about whether the ship, originally deployed in the South China Sea in November, had been away from shore too long.“No, not nearly long enough,” Trump responded.The typical deployment for a ship is six months, three months shorter than the USS Lincoln’s record.The Navy is sending the aircraft carrier USS George Washington to the Middle East to relieve the Lincoln, but it is believed to still be several days from reaching the vessel.The Lincoln fended off attacks from Iran and helped enforce the US blockade of Iranian ports as part of Operation Epic Fury.Rep. Mike Levin (D-Calif.), whose district covers part of San Diego County, has raised numerous concerns about the Lincoln and its crew. There are multiple reports that poor living conditions and a lack of downtime has taken a severe mental toll on the roughly 5,000 sailors after more than eight and a half months at sea. U.S. Central Command Public Affairs“Respectfully, Mr. President, I’d like to see you survive a week on that ship,” he wrote on X in response to Trump’s comments.Levin also reported in an X post Aug. 7 that the Lincoln had “[m]oldy showers, broken toilets, no hot water for weeks, meals that came down to half a cup of rice and two tortillas,” as well as a “ship’s store out of soap, deodorant, and toothpaste” and “sailors so worn down that, according to one family member, the ship’s own doctor warned they need to reach port soon or people are going to start losing their minds.”More Democratic lawmakers have asked the Pentagon for answers about the long deployment and the crew’s health.Secretary of War Pete Hegseth responded that the crew was being cared for and the situation about the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has been “completely misrepresented.” “We make sure that every ship, every crew, every captain has everything we can provide them at every single moment,” he said Thursday. “Some deployments are longer than others, and I have more respect and gratitude for those sailors than anybody.”

Shay Mitchell's $210 Million Dream: BEIS Joins Samsonite

Shay Mitchell is making some major business moves. The Pretty Little Liars alum, 39, announced on Wednesday, August 12, that her travel bag company, BÉIS, has been acquired by luggage giant Samsonite in a deal worth around $210 million.

Samsonite Group will acquire an 85 percent stake in BÉIS for $178.5 million, buying out Beach House Group’s 70 percent ownership stake, as well as 15 percent from Mitchell. The actress will retain 15 percent ownership, the two companies said in a press release. According to the press release, BÉIS generated approximately $210 million in net sales last year. “This is a dream come true. I'm so proud of what our small but mighty team has built over the past eight years,” Mitchell said in a statement. “We've always dreamed big, and joining the Samsonite Group gives us the chance to dream even bigger. They're truly the perfect partner — our strengths complement each other so well, together we can take BÉIS places we couldn't have on our own. I'm so thankful that I get to do something I love every day. Eight years in, I'm as excited as I was on day one. It honestly feels like we're just getting started, and I can't wait for everyone to see what's next.” “We're excited to welcome BÉIS into our family of innovative and iconic brands,” added Samsonite Group CEO Kyle Gendreau. “This transaction aligns closely with our key growth priorities: elevating awareness of consumer-centric brands, strengthening our digital capabilities to further support multi-channel growth, expanding our presence in lifestyle bags, and continuing to deliver innovative products that resonate with consumers around the world.” “BÉIS is spearheaded by an impressive leadership team and has cultivated a loyal customer following through differentiated products, authentic storytelling and a best-in-class digital-first business model,” he continued. “We see significant opportunities to accelerate BÉIS' long-term growth while preserving the entrepreneurship, creativity, and strong brand identity that have fueled the enterprise's success since its founding.” Mitchell announced BÉIS in 2018, telling Us at the time, “It’s a fun thing to not just be the face of the brand but to really be in it. I can literally tell you why I chose the zippers.” “I am never not on the road. Yes, you can go and buy a luggage that’s beautiful but expensive, but I want people to go out and see the world and do it with a cute bag that you don’t have to spend a ton on,” she added. Alongside the continued success of BÉIS, Mitchell will be back on television screens in January 2027 with a starring role in Fox’s reboot of Baywatch. The series costars Stephen Amell and Brooks Nader.

Lindsay Clancy's Chilling Search History Revealed Amidst Murder Trial

Lindsay Clancy's Chilling Search History Revealed Amidst Murder Trial

Lindsay Clancy’s search history was discussed during her murder trial, and it was revealed she looked up “can you treat a sociopath” before she killed her three kids. During the trial on Thursday, August 13, Massachusetts State Police Sgt. Timothy Chiappini took the witness stand after he was tasked to extract data from Clancy’s phone. Clancy, 36, is on trial for killing her kids Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and 8-month-old Callan in January 2023. During his testimony, Chiappini read contents from Clancy’s search history, text messages and notes from her phone, according to the Associated Press. He read the one search about a “sociopath” from January 23, 2023, which was just four days before the kids were killed. Chiappini also read notes he found on Clancy’s phone, in which she detailed her struggles and personal affirmations. He went on to read a text exchange between Clancy and her then-husband, Patrick Clancy, about ordering takeout, which was sent on the day that the children were killed. Chiappini was also cross-examined by Lindsay’s attorney, Kevin Reddington, who asked him about the large volume of data that was pulled from her phone. Reddington asked Chiappini is he recalled looking for searches related to suicide, though he said he did not recall. However, Chiappini did say he found a search from Lindsay’s phone about “hallucinations” that was made just days before the killings. Lindsay pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges, though she has admitted to killing her kids. Her defense has argued that she was not criminally responsible for the murders because she was overmedicated and experiencing extreme postpartum psychosis when the murders occurred. Meanwhile, prosecutors argued that Lindsay was aware of what she was doing at the time her children died. Prosecution also pointed out that Lindsay attempted suicide by jumping out of the second story of her home after she strangled her kids, which they argued implied that the killings may have been intentional. If Lindsay is found not criminally responsible for the killings, she will likely be sent to a state mental health facility in Massachusetts. If she is found guilty of first-degree murder, she can be sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Tyler Duckworth's Untimely Death Leaves Fans Searching for Answers

Tyler Duckworth's Untimely Death Leaves Fans Searching for Answers

The Challenge alum Tyler Duckworth has died. He was 44. “My son, Tyler, passed away earlier this week,” his mother, Joni, announced via a private Facebook message on Thursday, August 13, per People. “Cause of death has yet to be determined. I will post on Facebook about services as soon as his dad and I figure it out.” (The Sun was first to report news of his death.) Duckworth originally found fame on MTV as a cast member on The Real World: Key West before officially joining the Challenge franchise that same year. He won the Cutthroat and Rivals seasons of The Challenge and also competed on four other incarnations — The Duel, The Gauntlet III, All Stars 2 and All Stars 3. He most recently reunited with his former costars at a recording for the "Challenge Mania" podcast on July 31 in Minneapolis. (The comedy podcast is hosted by Challenge alum Derrick Kosinski and Scott Yager.) The reality star shared some behind-the-scenes photos from the event on August 2 as he celebrated having an unofficial Challenge reunion in his hometown of Minneapolis. “@challengemaniapodcast always knows how to bring the BEST of the BEST together!! So proud to represent my hometown of Minneapolis along with these other challenge legends,” Duckworth wrote alongside a carousel of photos of Real World and Road Rules stars. “The fans are what keep us coming out! Hearing your stories of courage, inspiration & joy that you’ve got being a fan of the franchise is humbling each and every time. Also, pretty sure we nailed the cast photo for the lost season of The Real World: Minneapolis!! Thank you Minneapolis! Thank you @scottofyager It was REAL!!” Aside from his Challenge success, Duckworth shared with Entertainment Weekly in 2021 that he’d become a middle and high school teacher. At the time, he spoke about breaking new barriers of The Challenge as one of the few LGBTQ+ winners in the franchise’s history. (He returned to the franchise for The Challenge: All Stars 2 in 2021 after a ten-year retirement.) “It's no secret that the gay guys are always voted in first. And I take it very seriously that I'm going to represent the gay community, and there's a lot of expectations because not only am I gay, but I can win these things and I've proven that I can,” he explained. “But at the same time, there's a lot of pressure. Like RuPaul says, "Don't f*** it up." If I f*** it up, it's like I'm ruining it for the gay community. So I put a lot of pressure on myself and feel like I have to carry the torch.” He went on, “But at the same time, you have to just let go of that pressure and be yourself because otherwise you're going to beat yourself up. You have to remember that this is just a game, and the big joke this season is when people started getting serious, I would always put my hand on my hip and then turn around and say, ‘It's just the game.’ And that kind of de-escalated situations for people that were getting upset.”
