Teyana Taylor is one of the hottest rising stars on the planet right now. She's been making movies for years, but she finally caught some real heat with her life-affirming performance in 2023's A Thousand and One. Her latest film, One Battle After Another, secured her just about every award nomination in the book. She already won the Golden Globe, and she's the frontrunner for the Oscar. Oh, and she also earned a Grammy nomination for her latest album, Escape Room. So... To say the New York City-born multi-hyphenate is having 'a moment' is an understatement.

Warner Bros (Warner Bros)

Taylor is about to add a new pip to her resume: feature film director. She's lined up her directorial debut, "Get Life," with Paramount, and it's already got a release date: April 9, 2027. The film will star Euphoria and The Last of Us actor Storm Reid as a dance student who finds solace in the New York City subway system. Beyond that, the film's details are being kept tightly under wraps.

I'm a huge fan of Teyana Taylor and can't wait to see a film where she's the one calling the shots. She's a New York City icon and one of the great actors of our time, so you can bet I'll be first in line to see Get Life.

Everything to Know About Ethan DeLorenzo Instagram/Victoria Pedretti and Ethan DeLorenzo

Victoria Pedretti announced her engagement to photographer and filmmaker Ethan DeLorenzo in July 2025 with a joint Instagram post.

DeLorenzo is a multidisciplinary artist whose path has taken him from the music industry in New York and L.A. to farming and off-grid living in the Pacific Northwest.

He shares a son with actress Jena Malone.

Victoria Pedretti made her engagement public in July 2025, and she wasn't shy about it. The You and Haunting of Hill House actress shared a joint Instagram with her fiancé on July 22, photographer and artist Ethan DeLorenzo. She wrote, "It's no secret I'm deeply in love or that I'm engaged to Ethan. I tell everyone I meet."

The Instagram included a shot of the couple holding each other and smiling. The pair has kept their relationship very private, so Pedretti's announcement offered a rare look into their dynamic.

DeLorenzo added on his Instagram Story, per The Tab, "Ooooo, the love we are making together is out of this world. Here's to forever."

Below, everything to know about DeLorenzo.

He is a multidisciplinary artist with a strong connection to nature.

DeLorenzo lists himself as a "father/wild forager/naturalist/director/recording artist/photographer/gardener" on his personal website. His work spans short documentaries, photography, and music. One of his short documentaries, Cider Creek Collective (2025), follows a group of ceramicists and features music played on handmade instruments.

His Instagram also offers glimpses into both his work and personal life, with a strong emphasis on natural environments and community living.

On April 25, 2025, he posted a carousel of Pedretti posing outdoors in a red dress. He captioned it, "some photo evidence of our wild hearts frolicking around."

She shared the same photos on her Instagram that day, tagging DeLorenzo.

DeLorenzo also posted Polaroid photos of Pedretti the month before, writing, "i'd lay on the cliff side during the apocalypse with you any day… expired polaroid film 💜."

He spent several years living on Vashon Island, Washington.

As of 2025, it's unclear where DeLorenzo currently resides, though he previously lived on Vashon Island for several years.

In a 2020 interview on the Our Nature podcast, DeLorenzo shared, "I am currently on our apple orchard, and it's located in Vashon, Washington. It's a little island you can only get to by ferry. I live in a little eco-village with about six to eight others depending on the time of the year. We have a farm and an orchard. I started a little outdoor mushroom experiment so I grow some mushrooms as well."

He added, "The best thing about the Pacific Northwest is that there's so much to forage. I'm always foraging for things as well. I've been up here for four years now."

He described the island as a place where he found a sense of home: "It's the first time I've ever felt that very pure and intentional feeling of home," he said.

During his time in Vashon, he also contributed work to the local Summer Arts Fest, including a photography installation and a music workshop for kids, per the Vashon-Maury Island Beachcomber.

He got his start in the music industry in New York.

DeLorenzo grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. After graduating high school, he moved to Brooklyn and began working in recording studios. "I started out working with this mix engineer in a recording studio, his name is Ryan West," he told Our Nature. "At the time, he was working a lot with this producer Just Blaze, so we started out at Jay-Z's studio working with Rihanna, T.I…I remember one of the first projects we did was with Kid Cudi when he was working with Eminem."

He added, "How I got that gig, from a shitty town in Pennsylvania, was the internet. I was just a weird little teenager who loved music and would read the liner notes of my albums and just search them and send them messages, and I found myself an opportunity from being really young and eager."

He was in a band with Teyana Taylor.

After working in studios, DeLorenzo joined a band as a drummer with Teyana Taylor called U.G.L.Y. (Underneath Greatness Lies You). "She was signed to Pharrell at the time and they were starting this band…Long story short, made a bunch of songs, was in that band, got us to move to L.A., and then Teyana got signed by Kanye and kind of went and did her solo thing," he said. "Fortunately, now you cannot search it, it's been erased from everything, which I'm grateful for," he added, referring specifically to the band's music and online presence.

He described the experience as pivotal: "I saw the world, these people were friends of mine and peers…I loved it for a certain amount, and then I think other things started coming up for me. I was like, what do I really want?"

A 2010 trip to Hawaii with Rihanna led to a turning point in his life.

During his time in the music industry, DeLorenzo formed friendships with artists including Rihanna and Chris Brown. The three shared a close connection, with DeLorenzo sharing that he and his former girlfriend once lived with Brown when he first moved to L.A.

"Me and Rihanna have the same birthday, February 20. We're Pisces," DeLorenzo said. "It was both of our birthdays, and they were going to Hawaii and were like, 'Oh, you should come.' So it was kind of just like that, more of a leisure trip. It was really special, that trip was really pivotal." He added an experience he had there brought "clarity to my ego and what I really wanted from my life and what felt authentic to me."

He added, "That led to more clarity on how I moved in my career and then to essentially meeting the mother of my child."

He shares a son, Ode Mountain, with actress Jena Malone.

DeLorenzo spoke to Our Nature about the moment he learned his then-partner, Jenna Malone, was expecting their son, Ode.

"When she told me she was pregnant, I was just so happy," he said. "I felt such a purpose and like I was prepared for it."

The family initially moved to Big Sur, California. After Ode turned one, DeLorenzo, Malone, and their son lived in a van while traveling up the coast looking for community farmland. When the couple eventually separated, DeLorenzo relocated to Vashon Island to be closer to his son. "Her and I had our ups and downs," he said. "We're not meant to be life partners like that living in the same space so we figured that out on that trip and separated."

"Before anything, ever since my son was born, it was always father first," he added.

He managed a community farm and embraced off-grid living.

After arriving on Vashon, DeLorenzo found work managing a small community farm. "I was managing an orchard with raspberries, blueberries, pumpkins, strawberries, tomatoes…Kind of a small community farm, about two acres," he said. "And then I ended up transitioning the farm to a co-op farm."

DeLorenzo has described the lifestyle shift as transformational: "Learning the process of farming, connecting to the trees, growing crops, connecting to those slower processes has made me such a better person and more patient and has given me tools to be a good father," he said.

"Fast-forward to present time right now…I love my life," DeLorenzo said in 2020. "This part of the world, I love the climate, the seasons alone…It has given me tools to listen and be connected to those processes and share them with my son."

He concluded, "Everything that's informed my life and given me this bliss of a life experience was out of my control. So I've gotten really good at listening and trusting that this is where I'm supposed to go, and this is going to work out in some way."

He shared new photos of them in January 2026.

At the start of 2024, DeLorenzo shared a carousel of photos taken at what looks like a house in the woods. Some of the photos show Pedretti posing, including a picture where she is topless and looking back at the camera. In the caption, the artist wrote, "a mix of photos taken by myself and by my lover," seemingly referring to the actress.

Brad Arnold, the lead singer of the hard rock band 3 Doors Down, has died.

The "Kryptonite" musician died on Saturday at age 47 after battling cancer, the band announced on its official Instagram account.

"With his beloved wife Jennifer and his family by his side, he passed away peacefully, surrounded by loved ones, in his sleep," the announcement said. "As a founding member, vocalist, and original drummer of 3 Doors Down, Brad helped redefine mainstream rock music, blending post-grunge accessibility with emotionally direct songwriting and lyrical themes that resonated with everyday listeners. Brad's songwriting became a cultural touchstone for a generation, producing some of the most enduring hits of the 2000s."

The band's post continued, "His music reverberated far beyond the stage, creating moments of connection, joy, faith, and shared experiences that will live on long after the stages he performed on. Above all, he was a devoted husband to Jennifer, and his kindness, humor, and generosity touched everyone fortunate enough to know him. Those closest to him will remember not only his talent, but his warmth, humility, faith, and deep love for his family and friends."

Born in Escatawpa, Miss., in 1978, Arnold founded 3 Doors Down in 1996 alongside lead guitarist Matt Roberts and bassist Todd Harrell. At the time, Arnold served as the group's drummer as well as the lead vocalist.

Arnold said that he wrote the group's biggest and most enduring hit, "Kryptonite," in a single algebra class during his senior year of high school.

"I would write lyrics all the time in that class. I barely passed," he told Songwriting Magazine in 2022. "I wrote 'Kryptonite,' actually, on the drums. The first thing that came about, the lick, was nothing more than just me tapping on my desk."

The singer said that "Kryptonite" came to him unusually quickly.

"People just can't believe we really wrote that song in a total of — in between the time that I wrote it in an algebra class and then added to it at band practice — probably 30 minutes," he said. "It was amazing because we'd spent days writing songs before and you know that one was just like, 'There it is.' In addition, it was probably only the fifth or sixth song that I ever wrote."

After recording a demo in 1997, "Kryptonite" became a local hit in Mississippi, and the group added rhythm guitarist Chris Henderson to the fold in 1998.

3 Doors Down signed with Universal Records and released their debut album The Better Life in 2000, with "Kryptonite" as the LP's opening track. The song peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while follow-up singles "Loser" and "Be Like That" peaked at #55 and #24, respectively, on the same chart. "Be Like That" also appeared on the soundtrack for American Pie 2. Arnold played the drums on the studio recordings, but the band hired Richard Liles to play percussion on tour so that the songwriter could focus on vocals during live performances.

The band's sophomore album, Away From the Sun, went multi-platinum after its release in 2002, and spawned the single "When I'm Gone," which earned Grammy nominations for Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. The album featured Josh Freese on drums, marking the end of Arnold's tenure as the group's drummer.

3 Doors Down's next two albums, Seventeen Days and 3 Doors Down, both peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. The former album, released in 2005, included the singles "Let Me Go" and "Behind Those Eyes," and saw a guest appearance from Bob Seger on the track "Landing in London." The group's self-titled album, released in 2008, launching the hit singles "It's Not My Time" and "Citizen/Soldier," the latter of which was a tribute to the National Guard.

Roberts and Harrell both departed 3 Doors Down after the releasing the group's fifth album, Time of My Life, in 2011, leaving Arnold as the only remaining founding member by the time the band's sixth and final album, Us and the Night, came out in 2016. They continued touring with Henderson, lead guitarist Chet Roberts, bassist Justin Biltonen, and drummer Greg Upchurch until 2025.

3 Doors Down launched its own charity, the Better Life Foundation, in 2003, and played an annual benefit show to raise money for the organization. In 2006, the musicians donated the proceeds from that benefit show to Hurricane Katrina survivors.

The band also played inauguration concerts for George W. Bush in 2005 and Donald Trump in 2017.

Arnold announced that he had stage 4 clear cell renal cell carcinoma that had metastasized to his lung in May. The diagnosis forced the band to cancel a tour planned for summer 2025, but the singer remained unfazed.

"We serve a mighty God. And he can overcome anything," Arnold said in an Instagram video at the time. "So I have no fear. I really, sincerely am not scared of it at all."

Arnold is survived by his wife, Jennifer.

Virginia Senate President Pro Tempore Louise Lucas delivered a profanity-laden retort to Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, amid a tense redistricting fight, arguing that Democrats had "f---ing finished" what she views as gerrymandering started by Republicans.

On Friday, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger, a Democrat, signed a bill that would allow voters to weigh in on multiple amendments, including one that would allow for a mid-decade redrawing of the state's congressional districts. Virginia lawmakers are aiming to put the amendments before the people on April 21, 2026, months before the midterm federal elections.

"Virginia voters deserve the opportunity to respond to the nationwide attacks on our rights, freedoms, and elections. Everyone deserves the freedom to marry who they love — and Virginia's Constitution should affirm that all families are welcome in our Commonwealth. Women in Virginia deserve the freedom to make their own reproductive healthcare decisions without politicians dictating their choices. When Virginians have paid their debt to society, they deserve to regain their right to vote. And when other states take extreme measures, I trust Virginia voters to respond," Spanberger said in a statement on her website.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, slammed the legislation saying in a post on X that it was "a brazen abuse of power [and] an insult to democracy."

Lucas, the 82-year-old Democrat who spearheaded the plan, hit back at the senator, saying, "You all started it and we f---ing finished it," referring to a controversial redistricting effort in Texas that sparked fights over districts in several states.

Several social media users slammed the Virginia lawmaker, including Braeden Sorbo, son of actor Kevin Sorbo, who asked, "So now gerrymandering is okay?" Many other responses spoke about the origins of gerrymandering as a practice, while some mocked Lucas for her use of profanity and her complaining about Texas' redrawn maps.

Democrats currently hold six of Virginia's 11 congressional seats, and the new 10-1 map would likely give them four more. This has caused some Republicans to say that the map disenfranchises large numbers of voters in the commonwealth.

Lucas had previously expressed a similar sentiment about the legislation during a news conference on Thursday.

"If Donald Trump had not started this power grab… we wouldn't be in this place right now," Lucas said, according to The Washington Post. "He started this mess, and Virginia is going to finish it."

Democrats across the country were left fuming after the U.S. Supreme Court moved to allow Texas to use redrawn congressional maps. Many were upset because the proposal appeared to stem from the White House, as President Donald Trump proposed the idea of the mid-decade redrawing of maps in June 2025. The president is looking to fortify Republican control of the House, something he was unable to do in his first term when Democrats retook the House majority in 2018.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a vocal Trump critic, quickly jumped into the fight, with his state passing Proposition 50, a ballot initiative that will temporarily sidetrack the left-leaning state's nonpartisan redistricting commission and return the power to draw the congressional maps to the Democratic-dominated legislature. The move is expected to result in five more Democratic-leaning districts in California, with the goal of offsetting the move made by Texas.

Several other states have also drawn new maps, including Missouri, North Carolina and Vice President JD Vance's home state of Ohio.

Key points -

Kaley Cuoco said she was "so depressed" amid her divorce proceedings on the day of The Flight Attendant's season 2 premiere.

The actress said that she was "laying on the floor" and "literally thought I was gonna die."

Three weeks after that "lowest point," Cuoco met actor Tom Pelphrey and got engaged to him two years later.

Kaley Cuoco reached a low point in her personal life the same day she had to walk a major red carpet.

The Big Bang Theory star candidly reflected on a bout of depression she faced amid her divorce proceedings in 2022 during a recent interview with Drew Barrymore, which is set to air Monday, Feb. 9, on The Drew Barrymore Show.

"It was the premiere of the second season of Flight Attendant, and I woke up that morning, I was so depressed and so sad, I couldn't even breathe and I was just laying on the floor," Cuoco remembered. "I literally thought I was gonna die. I really did. I said, 'What am I doing?'"

Cuoco refers to that moment as "the worst morning of my life," which was especially complicated because she thought the premiere of her HBO Max series "was supposed to be the best night of my life" later that day.

"It's so crazy those things sometimes happen at the same time," she said.

The actress revealed that she couldn't get back on her feet as she prepared for the premiere.

"My team came over to get me ready, and they literally got me ready on the floor," she said. "I couldn't get up. I'm like, 'I can't go. I can't go anywhere. I blew up my life. My life's over.' I truly thought that. Never getting married again. I'm never gonna have kids. This is it."

In that moment, Cuoco felt that she'd hit rock bottom.

"I knew, when I was laying on that floor in my house, I thought, 'Oh my God, this is what they talk about. This is the lowest point I could get,'" she recalled.

The actress said that three weeks after that moment, she met Ozark star Tom Pelphrey, to whom she is now engaged. The couple are also parents to daughter Matilda, who will turn 3 on March 30.

"I had prayed, and I feel like my soul died," she said. I feel like my soul died, and I had also said — I think I did a magazine. It was like, 'I'm never getting married again.' I said it, I believed that in the moment, [and then] met Tom."

Cuoco is totally comfortable with initially swearing off marriage and then changing her position.

"Sometimes you just change your mind and that's okay," she said. "You probably didn't know I was laying on the floor before my premiere ready to die, that's true… It still chokes me up because I can remember it so clearly, but it made me a whole new person. But it takes a long time. It takes a long time to figure that out and a lot of forgiveness."

After ending her three-year marriage to tennis pro Ryan Sweeting, Cuoco began dating equestrian Karl Cook in 2016. They wed in 2018 and announced their separation in 2021. She then confirmed she was dating Pelphrey in May 2022, and later that same year, the couple revealed that they were expecting their first child. Cuoco and Pelphrey and got engaged in August 2024.

Katherine LaNasa was just starting out in television when she got her role on Seinfeld

As a mom, she explained, she didn't watch a lot of television, Seinfeld included

Still, LaNasa said she was "pinching myself" for getting the opportunity

Katherine LaNasa says she had "never seen" Seinfeld before landing a role on the show.

The Emmy-winning actress, 59, joined Seinfeld in 1995 as Sgt. Cathy Tierny, who administers a lie detector test to Jerry Seinfeld and asks him whether he's ever seen Melrose Place.

During a recent interview with ETalk, LaNasa described what it was like working on the set of the season 6 episode.

"I had never seen Seinfeld, nor had I seen Melrose Place, which is hilarious," she told the outlet. "Yes, I was living under a rock."

Katherine LaNasa on 'Seinfeld' season 6, episode 15

LaNasa explained that she was busy taking care of her then-young son, Henry Hopper, whom she shared with Dennis Hopper. The couple was married from 1989 to 1992.

"I was a single mom, my son's dad was an older guy, and we didn't watch Melrose Place," she said. "I just didn't watch a lot of TV. I know it sounds crazy, I was just starting out in television."

While the Pitt actress went into the show without knowing exactly what she was getting into, she still "remembers how creative they were" to this day.

"There was a whole scene in that where Jason Alexander is talking with the rest of them about this girl that he's dating and how when she took off her wig or her wig came off and she was bald," LaNasa recalled. "He was like, 'She's bald, treeless!' This and that, and he just kept riffing and it was so funny and so magical just to see them rehearse and ad lib."

Of the cast, she said, "they were just so unbelievably talented."

"Working there with Larry David, just to be chosen. Even Carol Leifer is another great writer from that time. It was just a big bucket full of talent and I was pinching myself. I couldn't believe I was a part of it or witnessing it," she says.

Seinfeld ran for 10 seasons from 1989 to 1998. In addition to Seinfeld and Alexander, the cast featured Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Michael Richards, Wayne Knight and Jerry Stiller. It is available to stream on Netflix.

As possibly the longest-standing public critics of Donald Trump's dangerous leadership tactics, we have an important warning being missed by the outrage over his racial taunts. Some may wince over the President's unjustifiable posting of an overtly racist AI-generated video depicting Barack and Michelle Obama as apes on Truth Social—during Black History Month, no less—as a shameful racist blunder in a late-night rage. Unconvincingly, the White House's initial defensive spin blamed the racist post on an unnamed, unaccountable "staffer," fiddling with Trump's own social media account at the exact same minute Trump was also on his own account.

Sure, the demeaning bigotry cannot be ignored, and the post was just after armed federal agents burst into a hotel room to arrest the unarmed Black journalist Don Lemon, and the National Park Service removed a slavery exhibit in Philadelphia. The pattern is stark, including the false birtherism attacks on President Obama, his references to African nations as "s-hole" countries, the new barriers on Black African visas, and false defamatory campaign allegations that Haitian immigrants were eating neighbors' pets, and it is not a coincidence that the Administration is seizing the 2020 Georgia ballots of largely Black voting precincts.

These reflexes are not simply employing sickening subtle racial dog whistles in cynically coded language, but shouting overtly bigoted tropes at full blast. Yet this post is also emblematic of something beyond racism. It reveals an ever-larger Trumpian technique, which is the diversion of public discourse on topics where he is falling in public support, from inflation and affordability, or the public backlash against murderous secret police ICE raids, to questions over his Administration's handling of the Epstein files, in which Trump is mentioned 38,000 times.

Rather than an inadvertent mistake, this episode epitomizes Trump's approach to intentionally creating and layering controversy upon controversy as a continual, never-ending cycle of diversion and distraction, which is one of his favorite, recurring tactics he deploys repeatedly to great effect.

As we detail in our new book, Trump's Ten Commandments, published by Worth Books and distributed by Simon & Schuster, this is Trump's "Wall of Sound" technique in practice—borrowing from Phil Spector's iconic music production technique, characterized by a large, overpowering ensemble of musicians filling the entire sonic spectrum and drowning everything else out. Trump's Perpetual Distraction Machine is an ever-spinning engine of new headlines, intentionally outrageous statements, and sudden moves designed to overwhelm, scatter, and redirect public attention—especially when he's intent on driving attention away from bad news.

How Trump does this, however, is different than how any other leader would approach it. Most conventional leaders would try to change the public narrative and discourse by trying to promote good news and create positive examples. Trump, on the other hand, tends to layer on more controversy and bad news on top of other bad news. Although it often appears to be an emotional, impulsive-looking delivery, it can be entirely calculated and intentional as a diversionary tactic to shift attention away from tough news cycles and wipe the slate clean on issues he doesn't want to talk about, dodging accountability and depth.

This is the part that critics of Trump often misunderstand. For someone who says as many reckless, politically incorrect things as Trump does, seemingly stream of consciousness, it is ironic how completely intentional many of his most controversial statements and actions can be. When a damaging news cycle lingers, Trump is prone to, fully intentionally and knowingly, introducing a new, even more sensational headline of his own making, a distraction that scrambles the media's focus and divides his critics' energy.

Few, if any, other leaders share Trump's inimitable approach to courting controversy intentionally. Trump is prone to knowingly picking fights that nobody else would ever choose to get into, and even sometimes fights where he incurs genuine damage. Yet, for Trump, who always looks at every situation as one to be exploited and manipulated, there is nothing quite like fighting an enemy he chose to provoke, even when he has to shoot himself in the foot to rally his base and create the urgent "us vs. them" mentality crucial to his ability to lead.

The aggregate effect of Trump's Perpetual Distraction Machine is disorienting for his opponents, who often find it impossible to respond effectively to an overwhelming fusillade of provocations or to effectively shine a spotlight on Trump's missteps. Moreover, with Trump staying in constant attack mode, it seems futile to try to fight him on any one issue, because he is everywhere, all the time, across all issues, and the overall effect makes him appear an even larger force than he is because of the ricochet effects.

Just consider how Trump's racist Obama post has diverted attention at a time when his approval ratings are plummeting towards all-time lows, shifting public scrutiny away from issues ranging from ineffectual affordability promises, an increasingly unpopular and stagnating presence in Venezuela with the false premises of the restoration of democracy, and a fizzling of his grandiose Greenland claims with the unified outrage of our allies. So Trump then pivoted to failed efforts to jail perceived political enemies such as the Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell and special prosecutor Jack Smith or former FBI chief James Comey, his new calls for "Republicans to nationalize elections" with the seizure of repeatedly audited and certified 2020 election ballots and his loss of 64 court cases, to reports of new demands to name a massive New York/New Jersey traffic tunnel after himself or in return for dispersing its continued Congressional funding.

As repugnant as the racist Obama post was, the real story is how and why Trump gets away with what he gets away with, repeatedly and increasingly. Until Trump's opponents understand the dangerous strategy behind his playbook, they will keep losing the narrative to the Perpetual Distraction Machine of constant, never-ending diversions and red herrings.
