Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

Christopher Anne Affleck, mother of actors Ben and Casey Affleck, died in June after a monthslong battle with a terminal illness, the family announced July 23. She was 83.

Affleck, a civil rights organizer and teacher, received her diagnosis in December 2025 and was given six months to live, according to her obituary in The Boston Globe. She passed just after being able to witness one of her biggest ambitions, according to the family.

“Her greatest wish after her diagnosis, however, was to live to see her grandson graduate high school,” the family wrote in the obituary. “She did so, attending with her family on May 31, 2026. She died peacefully, in her sleep, two days later.”

Los Angeles prosecutors Thursday continued to connect the dots between forensic evidence and singer D4vd to demonstrate that there’s enough proof to put him on trial for the murder of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez.

One day after alleging the singer, born David Burke, killed Rivas Hernandez to prevent her from exposing their illegal relationship and protect his lucrative career, prosecutors on Thursday presented more evidence against Burke.

Criminalist Lisa LaHendro with the LAPD took the stand Thursday morning, explaining what she saw and analyzed from a blue inflatable pool found in the garage of Burke’s rented home in Hollywood Hills.

Aaron Rodgers is sharing a rare personal update. 

The NFL star revealed he has reconnected with his estranged family for the first time in more than a decade, posting Instagram photos with his mother, Darla Rodgers, father, Ed Rodgers, brother, Luke Rodgers and his niece and nephew. 

“Another bonding week. #fam,” he captioned the post. His younger brother Jordan was not included in any of the images.

Rei Ami, whose voice helped fuel the hit movie “KPop Demon Hunters,” recently found herself facing plenty of real hunters — watching from the ocean floor as about 16 reef sharks went on a feeding frenzy.

She was scared, sure. But more than that, she was brought to tears.

“I thought I’d be a bit more petrified, but I was enamored. I was in awe. It was witnessing nature,” she says. “You can’t put it into words the emotions and the feelings that you experience.”

Chadwick Boseman’s brothers filed a petition last week seeking control of the late actor’s estate, accusing their brother’s widow of mismanagement and failing to distribute the assets.

The court filing from Derrick and Kevin Boseman says that since their brother did not leave a will, his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, inherited half of his estate while his parents were given an even split of the other half. But it was Ledward who was appointed administrator of the estate.

Leroy and Carolyn Boseman, the late actor’s parents, assigned the brothers to handle their interests in the estate and allowed them to file the petition against Ledward. Chadwick Boseman and Ledward did not have any children together.

A guest at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding is providing an inside look at what unfolded during the couple’s emotional ceremony and over‑the‑top reception.

Jonathan Thomas, CEO of American Century Investments, said on “The Compound & Friends” podcast that the ceremony was “very solemn and emotional,” anchored by vows that each stretched close to half an hour.

“Travis went first with his vows,” Thomas recounted. “He probably spoke for 30 minutes. And I don’t want to violate his privacy, but I was crying.”
