Mindy Kaling has opened up about the surprisingly relatable moment that first connected her with Kate Hudson. It started with being overlooked at the Oscars. According to Kaling, they first met while waiting in line for portraits at an Oscars after-party, where something unexpected happened.
Mindy Kaling recalls she and Kate Hudson were cut in line by someone ‘famous’ at Oscars party
Kaling recalled that while they were both waiting their turn, a “very famous person” cut in front of them without acknowledgment. The identity of the celebrity remains undisclosed, but the incident left an impression. She described exchanging a quick, knowing glance with Hudson, a silent “did that just happen?” moment. For Kaling, that brief interaction was enough to spark a thought that she wanted to be “friends with her.”
Kaling revealed that she eventually created a project, Running Point, that allowed her to work alongside Hudson. Through that collaboration, Kaling says she gained a deeper appreciation for Hudson’s range and approach to her craft. While Hudson has long been known for her comedic roles, Kaling said working with her revealed a more nuanced understanding of her talent. “I always knew she was funny, but I learned her timing comes from a place of humility,” Kaling noted. But it didn’t stop there.
Kaling also highlighted Hudson’s strength as a dramatic performer and noted her musical abilities, evident in projects like Song Sung Blue. She described Hudson as someone who effortlessly embodies confidence while continuously redefining her image rather than settling on a single version of herself. That willingness to experiment and follow instinct, Kaling suggested, is what makes Hudson stand out. “She keeps making it look like a very good idea to trust your instincts and go where the fun is. And somehow, she makes it all look easy, which is the hardest thing in the world,” Kaling said.
Anne Hathaway continues to prove why she is a permanent fixture on the global best-dressed list. Stepping out in New York City, the actress showcased a masterclass in “day-to-night” dressing with a bold, avant-garde twist. While her structured outerwear exuded classic sophistication, it was her daring Dolce & Gabbana legwear that stole the spotlight. Hathaway successfully balanced corporate tailoring with high-fashion transparency, creating a look that was both edgy and elegant.
Anne Hathaway’s Dolce & Gabbana pants go completely sheer under jacket for ‘Mother Mary’
Promoting her upcoming project, Mother Mary, Anne Hathaway turned the sidewalk into a personal runway. The centerpiece of the ensemble was a pair of Dolce & Gabbana pants that pushed the boundaries of the “naked dressing” trend. These trousers were entirely sheer, crafted from a delicate black mesh that revealed her legs while maintaining a high-fashion silhouette. To ensure the look remained sophisticated, she layered them under a long, sleeveless Sacai jacket in a muted taupe. The jacket featured sharp lapels and a double-breasted design, offering a structured contrast to the ethereal fabric of the pants.
Beneath the vest, Hathaway wore a matching sheer long-sleeved top, creating a cohesive “second-skin” effect from head to toe. For footwear, she opted for towering Versace platform heels in glossy black, which added height and a powerful stance. Her accessories were equally high-end, featuring sparkling Bvlgari jewelry and a sleek black DeMellier London bag.
Protecting her eyes from the flashbulbs, she wore oversized, dark-tinted sunglasses from the Oliver Peoples x Khaite collaboration. Her hair was styled in long, effortless waves that cascaded down her shoulders, while her makeup remained fresh and luminous. Hathaway’s stylist, Erin Walsh, dubbed the look “Mother Mary style,” perfectly capturing the star’s current era of fearless fashion. By blending Dolce & Gabbana’s transparency with Sacai’s structural integrity, Hathaway proved that sheer can be chic, professional, and undeniably cool all at once.

New details have emerged regarding the selection process for the Vice President during Joe Biden‘s presidential run. A report claims that Biden originally had his eye on Gretchen Whitmer as his running mate. However, he “had to choose” Kamala Harris.
Joe Biden reportedly ‘had to choose’ Kamala Harris as Vice President
According to The Atlantic, Joe Biden originally wanted Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to be his Vice President. However, the former President “had to choose” Kamala Harris for the position.
The report, which took a closer look at Whitmer, claimed that Biden chose her to be his running mate, especially after she clashed with Donald Trump. The article claimed that Biden “wanted it to be Whitmer.” But he ultimately chose Harris amid the Black Lives Matter protests.
According to the article, “All of this attention seemed like it might add up to something, and by summer 2020, Whitmer was being vetted for vice president.” Sources at the time said Whitmer was unsure about the position at first. “She struggled to imagine herself as a creature of Washington, D.C,” the article says.
Whitmer reportedly built a strong rapport with Biden, and when he had asked her to come to Delaware for a face-to-face meeting, the Michigan Gov. was ready to accept the role. However, Biden did not extend the offer to her and “had to choose” Harris instead.
The Atlantic further reported that a former senior Whitmer staffer offered insight into Biden’s decision and how “the moment called for a Black running mate.” The staff said that the former President wanted it to be Whitmer instead. The report further noted that according to a former adviser to both Biden and Harris, the assessment carried “some weight.”
Despite not being selected, Whitmer “never wavered in her support” for Biden and “campaigned happily for the ticket.” In a 2020 interview with Fox2, Whitmer confirmed, “If Joe Biden had called and said, ‘I need you to be my partner and be my running mate,’ I would have said yes.”

For the main cover image, she wears a blinding metallic gold ensemble by Coach. Hailey Bieber’s outfit consists of a sleeveless open shirt styled like a vest and matching micro shorts. The bright gold fabric reflects the light perfectly against the bright blue sky backdrop.
The most playful part of the look is her headpiece. Hailey is seen wearing a pair of gold bunny ears that match her outfit. This accessory adds a fun, “bunny” twist to the high-fashion shoot. To balance the metallic shine, she wears chunky, cream-colored shearling-lined boots. These boots give the look a grounded, cozy feel despite the futuristic clothing.
In the photo, Bieber stands with her back to the camera, looking over her shoulder with a fierce and confident expression. Her hair is styled in a sleek, tight bun to keep the focus on her face and the unique gold ears. Her makeup is clean and polished, featuring sharp brows and a natural glow.
The overall look is a perfect mix of humor and luxury. It shows that Hailey does not take herself too seriously, even when wearing expensive designer clothes. The “blinding” gold color and the tiny cut of the shorts make this one of her most memorable magazine covers yet.

President Donald Trump has shared an update on gas prices. He acknowledged that they may remain elevated in the coming months. This comes as rising fuel costs continue to weigh on Americans and carry potential political consequences ahead of the midterms.
Donald Trump drops update on gas prices
“It could be, or the same, or maybe a little bit higher, but it should be around the same,” Donald Trump told Fox News‘ “Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo” when asked if oil and gas costs would drop by fall.
GasBuddy data shows the average U.S. price for regular gas has stayed above $4 per gallon for most of April. In February, prices hovered just below $3 per gallon and never exceeded $3.25 over the previous year.
Now, Donald Trump’s update follows weeks of administration claims that the gas price spike was short-term. The war began on February 28 when the U.S. and Israel launched joint bombing campaigns against Iran. Iran responded by closing shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, driving global oil prices up roughly 50%.
Additionally, earlier Sunday, Trump posted on Truth Social that the U.S. Navy would blockade the strait and intercept ships paying fees to Iran. “No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas,” he wrote. U.S. Central Command later specified that the blockade applies only to vessels traveling to and from Iranian ports.
Iranian parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who led Iran’s delegation in weekend peace talks that failed to produce a deal, posted on X, “Enjoy the current pump figures. With the so-called ‘blockade’, soon you’ll be nostalgic for $4–$5 gas.”
The Iran war has caused thousands of civilian deaths, mostly in Iran and Lebanon, and disrupted global financial markets. Trump’s approval ratings have hit their lowest point of his second term. Polls show most Americans oppose the war and remain frustrated by rising fuel costs, raising Republican concerns about losing congressional control in the midterms. A Democratic majority could launch investigations and block legislative priorities.

President Donald Trump and Pope Leo XIV’s war of words escalated to new heights this week, with the president taking direct aim at the pontiff in a fiery social media post. The commander-in-chief did not hold back in his assessment of the first American pope, unleashing a string of sharp criticisms that touched on everything from foreign policy to crime.
Donald Trump calls out Pope Leo in new post
President Donald Trump launched a sharp attack on Pope Leo XIV on Sunday. He called the pontiff “weak on crime” and “terrible for foreign policy” in a lengthy Truth Social post. The remarks followed weeks of tension between the two leaders over U.S. military action in the Middle East.
Trump criticized the pope for speaking out against the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran. He wrote that he does not want “a Pope who thinks it’s OK for Iran to have a Nuclear Weapon.” Trump also took aim at Leo for condemning America’s actions in Venezuela.
“I like his brother Louis much better than I like him, because Louis is all MAGA,” Trump wrote. He added that Leo “meets with Obama Sympathizers like David Axelrod, a LOSER from the Left.” Trump urged the pope to “stop catering to the Radical Left” and “focus on being a Great Pope, not a Politician.”
Pope Leo last week called Trump’s threats to “wipe out” Iranian civilization “truly unacceptable.” He urged Americans to contact leaders and members of Congress to call for peace. Leo also criticized the administration’s immigration policies and lamented growing global indifference to violence in his Easter message.
Trump also claimed the Catholic Church only elected Leo because of his American nationality. “He wasn’t on any list to be Pope, and was only put there by the Church because he was an American,” he wrote. He added, “If I wasn’t in the White House, Leo wouldn’t be in the Vatican.” Trump told reporters at Joint Base Andrews he is “not a big fan of Pope Leo.” The Vatican did not respond to requests for comment.

Last week on Real Housewives of Rhode Island, we met Rulla, who is mad at Jo-Ellen for revealing her husband’s cheating scandal. Jo-Ellen claims Rulla and her husband threatened her job over it. Alicia revealed she ran over a woman. Kelsey decided to get everything out in the open with a game at the winery. She admitted she does have another boyfriend. But Liz got angry with Alicia for asking about a rumored affair between her and a friend named Dino. There are a lot of secrets and rumors about these women to unravel!

This week on Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1 Episode 3, “Saturday Night Fever Dream,” Kelsey introduces viewers to her other man. Liz throws a Studio 54-themed party for Gerry’s 54th birthday, which Dino attends. Rulla, Jo-Ellen, and their husbands have a big confrontation, but it turns out not to be the most dramatic moment of the night! After Kelsey makes a comment about the Dino affair rumors, Liz kicks her out, and hints at a shady secret from Kelsey’s past.

The Housewives are still recovering from Kelsey’s game. Ashley and Rosie meet in the latter’s under-construction home. Rosie’s husband Rich flips houses as a hobby, but she didn’t realize she’d be living in a house mid-flip! Rosie admits she actually felt bad for rival Jo-Ellen at the winery, because Rulla and Brian crossed a line. But she also says Jo-Ellen thrives being in the middle of the drama.
Meanwhile, Jo-Ellen is annoyed Kelsey didn’t warn her about Rulla. She shares more information on how Brian threatened her job. He sent an email to her boss, contacted a colleague, and complained to HR. Her husband promises to confront Brian, which turns Jo-Ellen on.
Liz tells Gerry that Alicia asked about the Dino rumors. She insists it’s not “some sexy secret.” It started when, after being inseparable from Liz for 14 years, Gerry spent long periods of time at sea. Gerry himself asked Dino to look out for Liz. But people would talk when they saw Dino and Liz out together, and she still wonders what people think.
But she wants to focus on something positive- Gerry’s Studio 54 themed 54th birthday! Everyone will be there … including Rulla … and Dino.
Meet Kelsey’s other man

This week, Kelsey introduces us to Bill (not to be confused with Alicia’s husband Billy), identified as “Kelsey’s other man.” Kelsey’s known him since seventh grade. Her parents are thrilled by the new relationship- her mom calls Bill her future son-in-law. Kelsey wants kids, and so does Bill. But her mystery boyfriend doesn’t – he already has kids of his own.
Bill is successful, but he can’t offer her the same lifestyle she’s used to. She might have to get a job! Which is probably why she signed on for Real Housewives.
Meet Alicia’s doll collection

When Liz comes over to Alicia’s, she greets her as “Dolly,” only to be greeted by a large collection of actual dolls. It’s Alicia’s vast array of Rainbow High and American Girl dolls, not her 8-year-old’s. Alicia gushes that dolls are a form of art, raving about the design of their eyeshadow and all the different lip colors. But Liz is weirded out.
Alicia apologizes for asking Liz about Dino, and says she can ask an equally hot-button question- why aren’t she and Billy married yet? But Liz knows why. Alicia didn’t grow up around successful relationships. Her father left her mom and the kids with nothing, and she’s scared of that happening again. In fact, when Billy tried to get her to sign a prenup, he was going to leave her with very little. And her name isn’t on their house!
Liz wants Alicia to advocate for herself and find a job she’s passionate about. Alicia thinks about working with her favorite of Billy’s restrauants, Pizza Mama, as a decorator. In a confessional, Alicia admits that she thought being a stay at home wife girlfriend would be great, but it sucks. Kelsey, take notes!
Where does Rulla go with Brian?

Rulla has her Lebanese friends over for a lunch of Lebanese cuisine (which was mostly catered). They talk about Rulla and Brian’s marriage, and how she wants to make it work for her kids. But the kids can tell something’s different.
Rulla claims she doesn’t want to get divorced because it’s not common in the Lebanese and Syrian culture. Then a producer brings up that she was already divorced before! Rulla declines to discuss that further. I need these producers to start asking some follow-up questions!
Ashley and Jared and Rosie and Rich

It’s an episode full of the Housewives checking in on their marriages/long-term relationships. Ashley has a rare date night with Jared, where the conversation inevitably turns to Audrey’s. As Jared lists the troublesome appliances, Ashley calls it a “money pit.” He admits to being insecure about the money. She feels sad that he works so hard and is still unfulfilled. Even when he’s not working long hours at Audrey’s, he’s there mentally.
Later, Rosie and Rich celebrate their one-year anniversary. Rosie doesn’t think she wants kids, but Rich insists she not rule it out. But Rosie doesn’t want to repeat the mistakes of her mom. She thinks her mom didn’t want to have kids and ended up resenting them. Rich keeps arguing she’ll want them in the next year or two. She says maybe five or ten years down the line – even when she’s her forties. Who cares if it’s harder to get pregnant, she’s going to make sure she looks 25.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island get down at Liz’s Studio 54 party

Liz’s Studio 54 party looks amazing. Drinks are served in tiny disco balls! She starts off in a disco ball dress (and has a costume change).
Kelsey admits she didn’t get the theme, but her outfit would make Cher proud. Alicia’s thrilled because she likes to dress like “a drug dealer’s wife,” meaning Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface. Jo-Ellen and Gary wear matching gold sequins. Ashley accidentally cut real bangs to go with her fake ones. Rosie hates her outfit, but she was too bloated from her period to wear the outfit she wanted to (been there, girl). Dolores also attends, also wearing a silver dress, making it difficult to tell which one is her and which is Liz. On the awkward car ride there, Rulla asks Brian what he thinks of her outfit, and he says it’s too revealing. Yikes.
Bill shows up at the party, but Kelsey insists it’s because he’s also friends with Gerry. Don’t call it a hard launch!
Soon enough, everyone gathers to watch Rulla and Brian versus Jo-Ellen and Gary, with Rosie as commentator. Gary keeps his promise to stand up for his wife. He brings up the calls to Jo-Ellen’s work right away. Brian unsuccessfully tries to downplay it. Overall, Brian comes off pretty badly. When Jo-Ellen says his affair is ongoing, he can’t even deny it. When they leave, he even says next Jo-Ellen will claim he was “at a Diddy freak-off.” Not helping, Brian!
Rulla wonders why it was so hard to deny the affair, and why he couldn’t stand up for her like Gary. Jo-Ellen wants to shake Rulla, but jokes it would “knock her hair topper off.”
Dino Disco Drama

Kelsey is put off by Dino’s presence from the jump. She gets that it’s Liz’s attempt to squash the rumors by showing they’re all friends, but Kelsey thinks it gives rumors more credence. Kelsey also says she’s avoiding Dino. Hmm…
Later in the night, Liz tells Kelsey she wants to go to the sea wall with Dino and Gerry. Kelsey says that’s a bad idea because of “the ongoing…”
Liz is immediately pissed off. “Ongoing WHAT,” she asks, demanding Kelsey “f*ck off.” She storms up to her room and shouts from off-camera. The “do not enter” sign, a picture of Liz’s cat with hair extensions, is the piece de resistance of this absurdity.
During her rant, Liz shouts at Kelsey, “I don’t have anything to hide! Maybe you do … maybe you have the ‘ongoing!’ You have a lot more to hide than I do!” In a confessional, Liz references Kelsey’s story with Dino! A producer asks what we’re all wondering- how does Kelsey know Dino? Liz says ask Kelsey.
Alicia and Jo-Ellen check in, but Kelsey screams at them to leave. Then Liz kicks Kelsey out, shouting that she was never really her friend. That’s one way to end a party!

Cardi B is currently owning the spotlight during her “Little Miss Drama” tour, and her afterparty looks are just as iconic as her stage outfits. Recently, the rap superstar was spotted celebrating in Washington, DC, looking absolutely radiant.
Cardi B stuns in bold bandage dress in tour afterparty photos
The “Bodak Yellow” hitmaker dazzled fans in a classic bandage-style mini dress featuring a striking color-block design.
The dress used horizontal stripes of deep purple and crisp white to highlight her famous curves. However, the real showstopper was the jaw-dropping neckline. The top of the dress featured a plunging, crisscross halter design in white that created a dramatic V-shape, putting a bold twist on the traditional bodycon look.
Cardi’s beauty look was just as vibrant as her outfit. She rocked dramatic blue-and-black wavy hair that added a pop of electric color to the night. Her makeup was flawless, featuring a sharp winged eyeliner and a soft lip that let her outfit do the talking.
She looked like she was having the time of her life, holding a bottle of champagne and a drink while dancing with fans and friends. With her “Hennessy” arm tattoo on full display and a huge smile on her face, Cardi B proved that she is the life of the party.
Angel Reese drew attention on Instagram as she shared new campaign images, blending sporty confidence with high-fashion styling. While she is known for her dominance on the court, her latest appearance showed a polished, editorial edge.
Reese wore a structured houndstooth blazer dress layered over a black bikini-style top, giving the tailored look a bold twist. The plunging neckline and high slit added edge, while the fitted silhouette highlighted clean lines. As a result, the outfit balanced classic patterning with modern styling.
Moreover, Reese’s beauty choices elevated the look. She styled her hair in a short, sculpted pixie cut, inspired by vintage silhouettes. Meanwhile, her makeup featured defined brows, soft blush, and a glossy lip, which kept the focus on her features.
In addition, Reese completed the outfit with pointed black heels and minimal jewelry, including small hoops. Fans reacted quickly, with comments calling her “unreal” and praising the confident styling.

Judge Judy, also known as Judy Sheindlin, has once left a TV producer shocked with her dating advice. Fran Weinstein recently opened up about her relationship with the celebrity judge. She claimed that she had interviewed the “Judy Justice” star multiple times. Once, after one of these interviews, the producer reportedly asked the former New York judge to find her a man. When Sheindlin responded, it left Weinstein in shock.
Judge Judy showed what the TV producer really needs
Judge Judy’s dating advice to TV producer Fran Weinstein was nothing like what the latter expected. The former “Entertainment Tonight” producer opened up about her interviews and candid interactions with Judy Sheindlin. She told Page Six that she had met the former judge “countless times” throughout her career.
She then recalled a story when Weinstein interviewed Sheindlin at her Connecticut home. At the time, the latter was at the peak of her fame. As the two ladies formed a close bond, the producer didn’t hesitate to seek dating advice. After the filming ended, they walked in the woods, where he told Judge Judy, “Don’t you know anybody you can fix me up with?”
To this, the reality court-show star replied, “Franny, you don’t need a man. I’m going to show you what you need.” While Weinstein was hoping her friend didn’t pull out anything “weird,” Sheindlin grabbed a “shoebox-sized medieval receptacle.”
“[Sheindlin] plops it down, and pulls out a .32 caliber pistol! She then proceeds to say, ‘Franny, Jerry was gone last night. I put this under my pillow, and slept like a baby,’” the celebrity judge said. Her response left the producer surprised.
Later, the 83-year-old told the outlet that she couldn’t recall the incident. However, she called the advice “brilliant.” For those unversed, she married for the second time to Jerry Sheindlin in 1977. However, they got divorced in 1990 only to tie the knot again the following year.
