A humanoid robot caught everyone’s attention at the Met Gala 2026. From listening to photographers’ requests to posing for the cameras, it stole the spotlight at the big event. Furthermore, the AgiBot robot, which represented designer Alexander Wang, also had to deal with a small issue. It got trapped while getting out of the elevator of The Mark Hotel. With the help of the staff and its caretakers, the machine soon found its way.
Humanoid robot steals the spotlight ahead of Met Gala 2026
An AgiBot robot at the Met Gala 2026 surprised photographers and onlookers. It was invited as a guest of designer Alexander Wang at the fashion event. The humanoid figure came out of New York’s The Mark Hotel, where A-list celebrities stay or get ready before the gala. However, before stepping outside, it got trapped inside the elevator.
A video, shared by PEOPLE, featured the robot appearing as soon as the lift’s door opened. Photographers seemed to be waiting for it outside the elevator. One of the female camerapersons was heard saying, “Come on,” to the machine. But the robot got stuck as it took a slight left turn. The bodyguards soon came to its aid and helped it to safely get out of the closed space.
Seeing the situation, the woman photographer/videographer could be heard laughing and saying, “He’s trapped. He needs assistance.” But when the robot posed for the cameras, the paparazzi seemed excited. Another person asked it to “give us a pose,” and the humanoid robot obliged.
Furthermore, InStyle also released a video of the robot from outside the luxury hotel. Like any other celebrity, the Met Gala droid walked towards different directions and posed for the photographers.
Meanwhile, the paparazzi also seemed to be having fun while interacting with the new guest. One of them asked, “Robot, are you ok?” Another praised, “I see you shining there.”

Emma Chamberlain proved again that she is a fashion force to be reckoned with. Arriving at the Met Gala, the turned style icon stunned onlookers in a custom Mugler creation. This wasn’t just a dress; it was a walking work of art that perfectly blended high fashion with a bold, avant-garde spirit.
Emma Chamberlain takes on Met Gala in ‘painted’ Mugler gown that is completely sheer
The gown was a breathtaking achievement in design. It featured a completely sheer, skin-tight base that acted like a second skin. Over this delicate fabric, vibrant strokes of yellow, green, and deep blue were applied in a manner that resembled thick oil paint. The “painted” effect, textured and raw, gave the impression that the colors were swirling around her body.
Adding to the drama were the incredible details on the sleeves and hem. Long, thin fringe draped from her wrists, transitioning from a light cream to a dark, moody blue. The bottom of the gown exploded into a voluminous, ruffled train that mimicked the crashing waves of an ocean or a painter’s messy palette. She paired the look with towering blue platform heels that added to her statuesque silhouette.
Chamberlain’s beauty look was just as daring. She sported a bleached blonde, edgy pixie cut that gave her a punk-rock vibe. Her makeup featured heavy, dark eyeshadow that created a “sunken” and dramatic eye look, contrasting sharply with her pale complexion. This moody aesthetic perfectly complemented the artistic chaos of the Mugler gown.
Overall, Chamberlain looked like a masterpiece brought to life. By choosing such a unique and “painted” garment, she successfully bridged the gap between the world of fine art and the red carpet.
Donald Trump took aim at one of his most prominent political rivals in a fiery new social media post over the weekend. The president targeted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries after the lawmaker made waves with pointed remarks about a recent Supreme Court decision.
Donald Trump slams Hakeem Jeffries in new post
President Donald Trump attacked House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) over his recent Supreme Court comments in a Truth Social post on Sunday. Trump targeted Jeffries after the lawmaker called the court’s conservative majority “illegitimate.” Trump questioned whether Jeffries should face impeachment for the remark.
“Hakeem Jeffries, a Low IQ individual, said our Supreme Court is ‘illegitimate,'” Trump wrote. “After saying such a thing, isn’t he subject to Impeachment? I got impeached for A PERFECT PHONE CALL.” Trump also called on Republicans to take action, adding, “Where are you Republicans? Why not get it started?”
Jeffries responded on the social platform X with a brief post reading, “Jeffries Derangement Syndrome.” The phrase appeared to reference “Trump Derangement Syndrome,” a label the president frequently applies to his critics.
According to an annotated version of the Constitution on Congress’s official website, members of Congress are likely not subject to impeachment. The impeachment process applies to the president, vice president, and civil officers of the United States.
Last week, Jeffries held a press conference addressing a Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act. He called the decision “unacceptable” and accused the court’s majority of undermining communities of color. “Today’s decision by this illegitimate Supreme Court majority strikes a blow against the Voting Rights Act,” Jeffries stated during the conference.
The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 on Wednesday that Louisiana’s addition of a second majority-Black congressional district constituted unconstitutional racial gerrymandering. The decision weakened a central provision of the Voting Rights Act. Justice Samuel Alito described the ruling as an “update” to the existing legal framework governing such cases for decades.

Previously on The Real Housewives of Rhode Island, Kelsey revealed she can’t stand Rosie. Speaking of rivals, Rulla told Jo-Ellen to come to her with solid proof of Brian’s affair. When Brian suddenly left a group outing, Jo-Ellen got a text claiming he went to see the mistress. The other woman posted a photo on social media, and Brian returned without his wedding ring, raising suspicions. Brian and Rulla walked off, but Jo-Ellen still tried to plead with her to see the truth.

This week on Real Housewives of Rhode Island Season 1 Episode 6 “Newport, New Problem,” the Ocean State is rocked by a breakup. The RHORI ladies take a trip to one of Newport’s historic mansions. Sans Rulla, who is M.I.A. after last week. Just when we were starting to tell these women apart, RHORI throws us a curveball by having them wear masks. When they remove their masks, the women also bare their souls, to mixed responses. Kelsey’s feud with Rosie goes full steam ahead, exposing a major divide in the cast.

Real Housewives of Rhode Island Episode 6 opens with the ladies receiving a shocking text from Kelsey, who finally ended things with her boyfriend. Kelsey says it was her choice, and it was a long time coming. A lot of things built up over the years, like finding out he was involved with more people than she thought. While they were in bed together, she told him the relationship ran its course. He agreed, and the two held each other all night. He didn’t fight it, which told her everything. Liz is proud of Kelsey, though she jokes she’ll have to de-seed her own lemons from now on without the live-in staff.
Later on, Liz helps an emotional Kelsey move out of the mansion. While she’s been friends with the ex since high school, Liz thinks Bill is the better match for Kelsey. She reiterates how brave Kelsey is to leave her life of comfort and blaze her own trail. She gives Kelsey a compass as a gift for her new journey.
Now there’s a lot Kelsey will need to figure out on her own, like a mortgage and principal payment (“the principal of what?”).

This week, Alicia and Liz set up a girls’ trip to a Newport mansion. Alicia gushes that they’re like castles. Before the trip, Rosie feels better about her place with the girls … except for Kelsey. Rosie hopes, now that everyone’s screamed at her, they can move on. She also admits she can be shy, awkward, and weird. And jokes that she doesn’t want to be fake like Jo-Ellen.
Since Alicia doesn’t want to drive, the ladies take chauffeured Rolls Royce to arrive in style. Rulla is a no show. They try to call her on the way, but she doesn’t answer. Liz hasn’t spoken to her since polo.
The gorgeous mansion is owned by a friend of Séve, Liz’s friend for 40 years (“longer than most of these girls have been on the planet”). It has 29 bedrooms and two butlers- Alicia says it’s what Kelsey is used to. Speaking of, Kelsey tries to find a room on the complete opposite side as Rosie.

The trip starts with Alicia’s doll tea party. Of course she brought a whole suitcase of dolls with her (and talks to them). Ashley’s into it- she loved American Girl Dolls and still has Barbies of NSYNC and the Jonas Brothers. Everyone dresses extra girly for the occasion. Jo-Ellen gushes over their outfits, but tells Rosie she looks like a stripper. “I should’ve just said you don’t look good,” she adds in a confessional.
Alicia gives a spiel about how girls have had dolls for “billions” of years … is she taking the opening scene of the movie Barbie as a fact? And asks everyone to pick a doll to sit next to them. Alicia reveals her first doll was Snow White, and she’d throw a tantrum if a hair was out of place.
Jo-Ellen isn’t into the dolls, or the fact that Rulla ditched them. Liz says Rulla questions Jo’s motives. She responds, what motives- it’s not like she wants Brian for herself! Jo-Ellen once again insists she feels bad for Rulla, but Liz doesn’t buy it.
The Real Housewives of Rhode Island Masquerade

The dinner theme is a black-tie masquerade. Liz assigns masks – a flamboyant one for Rosie, a jester for Jo-Ellen, and for herself, a wolf, because people think she’s “scary.” But she’s really a sheep in wolf’s clothing.
Ashley’s mask, which covers her entire face, is hilarious. You know the mask Edward Norton wears in Kingdom of Heaven? That’s what it looks like. Kelsey says all the masks remind her of Eyes Wide Shut. Liz set it up for the ladies to remove their facades (a word Alicia can’t pronounce) and reveal a different side.
Jo-Ellen reveals her hard edge is because of trauma, especially due to her mom sending her away to a behavioral program. Alicia remembers when that happened. Jo-Ellen didn’t feel like her behavior warranted that punishment. Because she didn’t stand up for herself as a kid, she’s combative now. And gets triggered when accused of lying.
Earlier in the episode, Jo said she feels like her sister Jen had a completely different experience growing up, because their mom didn’t dub her the “bad kid.”
Liz reveals her own hard exterior comes from experiencing loss at a young age. Her mother (who resembled Dolores) passed when Liz was only 15. She’s scared to let anyone in because she’s too afraid to lose them.
Ashley goes next and, well, it’s … very different. Turns out, since her Bachelor days, Ashley always felt bad that she didn’t have a traumatic backstory. She cries over this more than Jo or Liz did over their traumas. Jo-Ellen can’t believe Ashley cried over having nothing to cry about.
Alicia brings up her father’s abandonment, but angers Liz when she says they were homeless. Alicia stayed with family, she wasn’t homeless! But Alicia maintains it was traumatic.

Kelsey mentions being defensive about her relationship, leading Alicia to ask about the breakup. Kelsey’s still in touch with her ex, who’s paying for a new apartment. Rosie jokes, “Now he really is her sugar daddy. Before, she could pretend he was her boyfriend.”
Like Jo-Ellen, Rosie’s facade is a result of her relationship with her mom. She feels a need to please everyone and finds it difficult to be genuine.
Kelsey responds by saying this is the first genuine thing to come out of Rosie’s mouth. Reader, I gasped. Kelsey insists it’s a compliment. When Rosie reacts poorly, Ashley has her back. But the rest of the ladies back Kelsey. The divide between Rosie, Ashley, and the rest of the cast has never been clearer.
Later on, Kelsey overhears Ashley and Rosie talking about her and walks in to confront them. When asked what Rosie’s lying about, Kelsey brings up the reason she left her job and the size of her future house. Rosie asks why she would lie about an embarrassing medical condition, and Ashley is confused why Kelsey cares so much about square footage. Kelsey thinks Rosie is completely fake. In a confessional, Rosie says Kelsey is jealous she has a house, a career, and a husband … and Kelsey doesn’t.
The episode ends with RHORI’s midseason trailer. Rosie makes accusations about Kelsey, Rulla announces Brian’s arrest, and Liz fights with Alicia. It’s been such a strong season so far, I can’t wait for what’s next.

Notably, Bettany is returning as his superhero character in the Disney+ series Vision Quest.
Fans react to Paul Bettany’s Vision prank on nephew
Fans are amused by Paul Bettany’s epic Vision prank on his hungover nephew. Bettany shared a snap of his nephew sleeping peacefully with the Vision by his side, mirroring his somber expression. The 54-year-old actor wrote, “When I’m filming Marvel films, they make a bust of me so that the lighting and camera department can set up a shot without me there.”
He added, “I stole one (don’t tell Marvel). Here is a picture of my hungover nephew Ethan about to wake up next to a decapitated Vision… again. Great days. Great Uncle.” Unsurprisingly, the post garnered 210.3K likes, 10.2K shares, 1.3K reposts, and 1.2K comments.
Bettany boasts a long association with the MCU. He voiced Tony Stark’s (Robert Downey Jr.) virtual assistant Jarvis from 2008’s Iron Man onward. He had a more prominent role in 2015’s Avengers: Age of Ultron.
Although Vision died during the events of 2018’s Avengers: Infinity War, he was brought back to life in Marvel’s 2021 Disney+ series WandaVision. Bettany is not expected to appear in this year’s Avengers: Doomsday. However, the 54-year-old actor will reprise the role in the upcoming Disney+ miniseries titled Vision Quest to continue his storyline (via PEOPLE).

Of course, during an episode of RHOBH, Kyle discussed pulling the trigger after seeing photos of Mau kissing younger women. In addition, she didn’t enjoy his fondness for PDA. “I’m a little desensitized now, unfortunately,” she previously stated. “I just wish that he would be a little more discreet.” Same, Kyle.
During RHOBH Season 15 Reunion Part 2, Kyle opened up about her situation with Mau and how they recently discussed filing for divorce. “Once there’s someone, you know, that comes into either one of our lives, they’re gonna force our hand in that, obviously,” Kyle explained. “We haven’t felt that and needed to do that.”
Plus, Kyle admitted that she was concerned about their relationship changing once they were divorced. “That does scare me,” she said. For now, she enjoys spending family vacations together in Aspen.
“You know, we’re asked all the time how this happened. I really do believe that money, fame, and traveling …,” Kyle said. She added that if they weren’t wealthy, and Mau was a ski instructor in Colorado, their lives would look different today. “And I do believe that if that had happened, we’d still be together,” Kyle said.
As for what happens when the couple does divorce? Kyle isn’t afraid to get what is hers. When asked if she would ask for her part of The Agency, Kyle didn’t mince words. “Well, it’s mine. Half of it’s mine,” she stated.

Jesse might have been at odds with Ciara Miller, but the two were back to being friends again. Which meant he was back to honorary Bed Bug status. So, it was time to gossip!
Jesse dished, “He didn’t seem upset that Amanda wasn’t here this weekend, that’s for sure.” Mia agreed. She said, “I’ve actually never seen Kyle like that before.”
He also added that he felt Kyle didn’t want to cause anymore issues in their relationship. However, they still weren’t “solving the underlying problems.” Such as their potential intimacy issues.
Jesse stated, “I don’t think they’re having sex. I don’t think they’ve had sex in maybe years.” When he got asked where he heard that from, Jesse folded like a deck of cards. He blurted, “Rumors. The rumor mill … Carl [Radke]!”
After they all had a good laugh and Ciara accused Jesse of being “messy,” things got serious again. Jesse stated, “I just don’t know what Amanda wants.” Ciara thought the same about Kyle.
She said, “I don’t really know what Kyle wants either … are they compatible at this stage in their life? Like, or can they find that compatibility again?” Mia wondered, “Do you think they can’t?” Ciara paused and then stated, “I don’t know.”
Summer House airs Tuesdays at 8/7c on Bravo. It can be streamed on Peacock the next day.

U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche addressed one of the most pressing questions surrounding Saturday night’s shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Specifically, the senior official revealed that Donald Trump was likely the gunman’s target when he opened fire at a Washington Hilton checkpoint.
Donald Trump was likely a target of shooting, US official says
U.S. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche stated on Sunday that President Donald Trump and administration officials were likely targets of a suspect who fired on a security agent at the White House Correspondents’ Association dinner, Reuters reported. The man discharged a shotgun at a Secret Service agent at a Washington Hilton hotel checkpoint before being tackled and arrested.
“It does appear that he, he did, in fact, set out to target folks that work in the administration, likely including the president,” Blanche told NBC News. Blanche added that the suspect likely traveled by train from Los Angeles to Chicago and then to Washington.
The suspect faces federal charges on Monday for assaulting a federal officer, discharging a firearm, and attempted murder. A law enforcement official identified the suspect as Cole Tomas Allen, a California resident around 31 years old. Social media postings suggested he was a teacher in Torrance, near Los Angeles.
Washington interim Police Chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed the suspect carried a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives. Carroll said authorities took him to a local hospital for evaluation, and preliminary information indicated he was a hotel guest. Trump told reporters officials believe the gunman acted as a “lone wolf.”
The Secret Service agent’s bulletproof vest saved his life, and Trump confirmed the officer was in “good shape.” Secret Service spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi confirmed the officer’s release from the hospital. Security personnel rushed Trump and first lady Melania Trump from the dinner around 8:35 p.m. NATO leader Mark Rutte called it an attack “on our free and open societies.”
The venue previously witnessed an attempt on President Ronald Reagan’s life, when a would-be assassin shot and wounded him outside the hotel in 1981.
