Este Haim and Monica Barbaro Forge Instant Bond on Set of One Night Only as Film Hits Theaters
At the New York City premiere of One Night Only on Monday, August 3, Este Haim couldn’t stop gushing about her co-star Monica Barbaro. “Me and Monica definitely bonded over feeling like we were kids that wandered onto a movie set,” the 40-year-old musician and actress told PEOPLE, capturing the delightful disbelief that often accompanies unexpected career pivots. “I think we were both just like, ‘How did we get here?’ But we’re glad that we did. Monica’s the best. We have the same sense of humor. I love her so much. We have the best time.” That genuine affection translates directly to the screen in Universal Pictures’ new romantic comedy, which arrives in theaters nationwide on August 7.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 6 Confirmed Amid Cast Tensions and Legal Turmoil
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives is officially moving forward with season 6, PEOPLE can confirm, even as the show’s real-life drama continues to eclipse its scripted reality. Layla Taylor broke the news during an appearance on Hulu’s Get Real podcast, revealing that filming for the next installment is already underway despite season 5 not yet being complete. “We’re not done with season 5, and we’re filming for season 6 right now,” the 25-year-old mom of two told host Amanda Hirsch. Her candid admission about the grueling schedule offered insight into the paradoxical nature of their fame: “When we’re not filming, I miss it. And I honestly get kind of bored, and so much happens too conveniently when the cameras go down. So at this point, just let’s just film the whole year.”

Trump’s Las Vegas Appearance Sparks Bipartisan Speculation Over Apparent Hair Transformation
President Donald Trump’s remarks about Canada may have been the official purpose of his August 5 appearance at Las Vegas’ Red Rock Resort, but it was his hair that dominated the post-speech discourse. During a 70-minute address in which he declared Canadian leadership “nasty” while expressing affection for its people, the 80-year-old president sported a hairstyle that appeared markedly different from just 24 hours earlier: fuller, more voluminous, and a distinctly brighter shade of blond. The visual shift was so pronounced that it triggered immediate speculation across the political spectrum, with critics, supporters, and neutral observers alike questioning whether Trump had undergone a cosmetic enhancement, adopted a wig, or simply benefited from strategic styling.

Chris Booker Breaks Silence on Perez Hilton’s Hospitalization: “Our Collective Focus Is on His Health”
Radio personality Chris Booker has issued a deeply personal and measured statement regarding the hospitalization of his longtime podcast co-host and friend, Perez Hilton, who was placed under an involuntary psychiatric hold in Miami on Tuesday, August 4. The 48-year-old internet pioneer and media personality was admitted after the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office (MDSO) responded to urgent reports that he was livestreaming “acts of self-harm” from his residence. The broadcast prompted TikTok to alert law enforcement and subsequently ban his account, marking a harrowing convergence of digital platform intervention and mental health emergency. In an Instagram post shared on August 5, Booker expressed profound sorrow for Hilton and his family while confirming that all professional projects, including The Perez Hilton Podcast with Chris Booker , which the pair have co-hosted since 2015, are indefinitely paused as loved ones prioritize his well-being over content.

‘Bones or No Bones’ Creator Jonathan Graziano Reveals How New Pug Milton Taught Him Bravery
I was inspired to write my new book, Milton Makes a Move , based on an interaction I had with my dear friend Cailin in Terminal 5 of JFK while waiting to board a flight to Los Angeles. Typically, my interactions with Cailin are fun and even occasionally whimsical (she once spur-of-the-moment invited me to a holiday party in the basement of a Swedish Church in Midtown East. There was a small market and the food was fabulous, as was the wine. As the Swedes would say, God Jul! )
