00 Gisele Bündchen is ‘recharging’ in Brazil after Tom Brady divorce
It’s been a turbulent year for Gisele Bündchen, but the supermodel is ending it on a high note.
According to her latest Instagram post on Sunday, the 42-year-old star is soaking up some quality time with her family in her native Brazil. Bündchen, whose divorce from NFL quarterback Tom Brady was finalized in October, shared shots from her visit home with children Vivian, 10, and Benjamin, 13, in tow.
“Recharging with my little ones in the country of my [heart],” Bündchen captioned a series of photos documenting everything from her meals to cuddles with her kids. One shot sees the catwalk queen wearing a leopard-print bikini as she basks in the sun by the ocean,
The famously wellness-minded model and activist is also squeezing time for self-care, appearing to meditate by the sea in her workout gear.. Later, she makes a heart with her hands, a blissful expression on her face.
In an interview for Dior Digital Talk last year — and long before her split from Brady after 13 years of marriage — Bündchen reflected on leaning into her 40s.
“I feel better at 40 than I felt at 30, I can tell you that much,” she shared.
“I think the 40s are going to be awesome,” she added. “The 20s were a little challenging, I’m not going to lie. The 30s, I was getting a grip on stuff. Now the 40s, I’m like, ‘Let’s go!’”

1 01 0 Rapper Gunna out of jail after pleading guilty to racketeering conspiracy charge
Gunna, the rapper who was arrested in Atlanta in May as part of a RICO case against the Young Slime Life (YSL) gang, was released from jail Wednesday after entering a negotiated guilty plea on a racketeering conspiracy charge.
The 29-year-old rapper, whose real name is Sergio Kitchens, was sentenced to five years in prison with four years suspended, according to WSB-TV Channel 2 in Atlanta. The one-year sentence was then commuted to time served, with special conditions that include 500 hours of community service.
The rapper’s sentence will be completed once he does his community service, attorney Steve Sadow said. It will include 350 hours speaking to young men and women about the “hazards and immorality” of gangs and gang violence. He must stay away from guns and from his co-defendants unless the communication goes through attorneys or his record label.
Gunna entered what’s known as an Alford plea, which allows a person to plead guilty — while still maintaining innocence — if it’s believed the prosecution’s evidence would likely result in a guilty verdict at trial.
“While I have agreed to always be truthful, I want to make it perfectly clear that I have NOT made any statements, have NOT been interviewed, have NOT cooperated, have NOT agreed to testify or be a witness for or against any party in the case and have absolutely NO intention of being involved in the trial process in any way,” the rapper said in a statement obtained by The Times.
If Gunna is called as a witness by anyone in the upcoming trial, which is set to start in January, “He will testify truthfully, but he reserves his right to assert his Fifth Amendment privilege against self-incrimination,” Sadow said.
Gunna said in the statement that he did not consider YSL to be a “gang” when he became affiliated with the group in 2016. He said he thought it was “more like a group of people from metro Atlanta who had common interests and artistic aspirations” and maintained that his focus in YSL was “entertainment — rap artists who wrote and performed music that exaggerated and ‘glorified’ urban life in the Black community.”
“I love and cherish my association with YSL music, and always will,” Gunna said in the statement. “I look at this as an opportunity to give back to my community and educate young men and women that ‘gangs’ and violence only lead to destruction.”
A 56-count grand jury indictment in May identified Gunna, Young Thug (real name Jeffery Lamar Williams) and 26 others as members of YSL, a criminal street gang. Some of the defendants were charged with violent crimes such as murder and attempted armed robbery. Authorities have said Williams and Kitchens are leaders in the gang, but their attorneys have contested the charges for months, the AJC reported.
The indictment also alleged that 31-year-old Young Thug was a founder of the YSL gang and alleged he was linked to offenses in 2013 and 2018. He remains in jail, pending trial, with jury selection set for Jan. 4.
Last week, a grand jury charged the 31-year-old with four additional counts related to a May 2021 incident where he allegedly drove 120 miles per hour on an Atlanta freeway, FOX5 Atlanta reported Tuesday.

00 I caught Chris Paul with Kim in bed – Ye
The producer and anti-Semite tweeted an odd image of the NBA player after a crazy day of publicly celebrating Hitler and Nazis on InfoWars with Alex Jones. Kanye West “signed off” for the evening from social media with a serious charge as he continues to dig a deeper hole around his persona. He tweeted an image of a page with a portrait of NBA player Chris Paul in yet another odd social media post. The caption once again astounded social media: “Before we go, let’s bust one more windows. I saw this man with Kim. good nite” This tweet sent Twitter and the rest of the world into a frenzy of reactions, making the antisemitic comments that came before feel like a footnote. He had been on InfoWars with Alex Jones and Nick Fuentes and basically said he “likes Nazis” and publicly praised Adolf Hitler.
Despite the tweet’s largely cryptic tone, the connotation was obvious: according to West, Chris Paul and Kim Kardashian had a past. It is unknown if it happened recently or was an affair that took place while they were still married. It is also uncertain if the charge is true or false considering Kanye West’s recent, more than obvious slide. However we have learned in the past that it might be controversial, but when Ye says something it’s most probably true. Following the shocking revelation, a picture of Drake and Kanye West’s fight from last year started circulating online, indicating that the Toronto rapper was aware of Kim Kardashian and Chris Paul’s rendezvous and used it as fodder to taunt his rival. Drake and two buddies are seen in the image, which was first shared on his Instagram Story, promoting his then-upcoming album Certified Lover Boy while donning various Chris Paul jerseys. While his friends are sporting New Orleans Hornets shirts, Drizzy can be spotted wearing Paul’s #3 Suns jersey. They all three seem to be laughing at the prank. The photo’s caption says, “September 3 CLB.”
In the months leading up to the release of their respective albums, Certified Lover Boy and Donda, Drake and Ye engaged in a lot of social media and song-based sparring. Drake is also reported to have hooked up with Kim Kardashian during her marriage to Kanye West. At J. Prince’s request, the two ultimately broke their feud and reconnected on stage for the “Free Larry Hoover” charity performance in Los Angeles that December. Even though the two Hip Hop powerhouses have appeared to be getting along since then, Drake recently questioned the genuineness of their ceasefire by claiming he just made up with Ye as a favour to J. Prince.
On “Circo Loco,” a song from his collaborative album with 21 Savage, Her Loss, he rapped, “Linking with the opps, bitch, I did that shit for J. Prince / Bitch, I did it for the mafia ties.”
Regarding his marriage to Kim Kardashian, Yeezy recently settled his divorce following a protracted and occasionally nasty court fight. In addition to splitting up their different assets, the ex-billionaire rapper allegedly agreed to give Kardashian $200,000 per month in child support payments for their four children. A million things are happening around Ye right now, and although they’re buzz-worthy, it feels like he continues to dig himself into a hole that he might not be able to crawl out from. After his erratic comments and tweets, even Elon Musk has grown tired of him and has suspended his account on the platform. As for Chris Paul and his wife Jada, they are yet to respond to the allegation.

00 All About Brad Pitt’s Rumored New Girlfriend Ines de Ramon, Who He’s Been Dating for ‘a Few Months’
Just weeks after Brad Pitt was rumored to be seeing Emily Ratajkowski (who is now reportedly dating Pete Davidson), the 58-year-old actor may have a different new woman in his life. The Daily Mail ran photos of Pitt at a Bono concert on Sunday night (November 13) with Ines de Ramon, a 32-year-old Swiss jewelry professional. The Daily Mail claimed it was informed by sources that de Ramon was part of Pitt’s team. People, meanwhile, reported that de Ramon works for the jewelry brand Anita Ko. Her LinkedIn lists her position as vice president of the company.
In photos, Pitt appeared putting his arms on de Ramon, and introduced her to his friends there, including Cindy Crawford. De Ramon is recently single herself, having separated from her husband, Vampire Diaries actor Paul Wesley, in September.
Reports on her relationship status with Pitt are a little conflicting at this point, with People reporting them as dating and E! reporting they’re just friends.
Either way, she and Pitt are close. So, who is de Ramon? Here, the essentials and all the details on her connection to Pitt.
De Ramon and Pitt first sparked dating rumors in November when they attended a concert together.
While neither de Ramon nor Pitt have commented on reports that they’re dating, The Daily Mail ran photos of them at a Bono concert together on November 13. The outlet reported they arrived together in Pitt’s Tesla at 8 P.M. They left separately, de Ramon in Pitt’s bodyguard’s SUV and Pitt in his Tesla.
On November 16, a source told People that the two have been secretly dating for months.
Interestingly, the source was indicated as close to de Ramon rather than Pitt. The source said, “[they] have been dating for a few months,” and that “Brad is really into” de Ramon. “They met through a mutual friend. She is very nice.”
A second source, this one close to Pitt, confirmed they were dating, but casually. “[They] recently started dating. [But] it’s not an exclusive relationship. Ines is cute, fun and energetic. She has a great personality. Brad enjoys spending time with her,” the source said.
A source told E! that same day, meanwhile, that Ines is “a friend of his.” Of the dating rumors, the source added, “This has been assumed in the past and has been wrong.” Hmm…
De Ramon separated from her husband Paul Wesley in September.
Pitt isn’t the only actor that de Ramon has been with. De Ramon and The Vampire Diaries’ Paul Wesley announced their separation after three years of marriage in September 2022. Wesley and de Ramon were first romantically linked in July 2018.
A rep for the couple told People in September that “they have separated” and have been living apart for several months. “The decision to separate is mutual and occurred five months ago. They request privacy at this time,” the rep added.
De Ramon speaks five languages.
De Ramon is a graduate of the University of Geneva, earning her bachelor’s in business administration. Her LinkedIn indicates that she speaks five languages, with French, English, and Spanish indicated at a bilingual or native proficiency, and German and Italian listed at a professional working proficiency. Prior to working at Anita Ko in Los Angeles, de Ramon spent four years working in the retail department of jewelry company de GRISOGONO.
De Ramon’s Instagram is currently private.
Following news that she and Pitt may be dating, de Ramon appeared to set her Instagram to private. De Ramon has appeared before on Wesley’s Vampire Diaries co-star Nina Dobrev’s Instagram when she and Wesley were still together.

De Ramon has managed to keep public information about herself very limited, despite her marriage to Wesley and current rumored ties to one of Hollywood’s biggest stars. Pitt is likely to guard details of their relationship too, should it continue or become more serious, as the actor has not spoken much about any particular woman he has dated following his 2016 divorce from Angelina Jolie.

1 01 0 New Mickey Mouse documentary revisits the Disney icon’s controversial early years: ‘Mickey’s not necessarily a good guy in those cartoons’
He may have hit the big 9-5 in calendar years, but Mickey Mouse is forever young in the hearts of kids, parents, grandparents and even great-grandparents. The signature creation of Walt Disney — and his oft-forgotten collaborator, Ub Iwerks — long ago went from being a humble cartoon mouse to the symbol of a global corporation that has an outsized influence on global pop culture. That evolution is chronicled in the new documentary, Mickey: The Story of a Mouse, which premieres today on Disney+ and depicts the tension between Mickey the Mouse and Mickey the Mascot.
“I liked Mickey as a kid, but I liked him because he was my nightlight,” admits the the film’s director, Jeff Malmberg. “Growing up in the ’80s, Mickey was a corporate logo and a greeter at the Disney theme parks. But the film character was really missing when I was a kid.”
The Story of a Mouse sets out to remind audiences of Mickey’s character … which also means reckoning with the more controversial aspects of his nine-decade history. Following his breakout appearance in 1928’s “Steamboat Willie” — one of the earliest cartoons to feature synchronized sound — Disney and Iwerks’s mouse starred in a series of cartoon shorts in the late ’20s and early ’30s that are very much the product of their times and feature a version of Mickey who is much more ribald and rude than he later became.
Not only is he seen wearing blackface in 1933’s “Mickey’s Mellerdrammer” — where he and his cartoon pals stage a version of Uncle Tom’s Cabin — but he also forced himself on his longtime companion, Minnie Mouse, in shorts like 1929’s “Plane Crazy.” While Malmberg includes those offending moments in The Story of a Mouse, the full versions of those early Mickey Mouse cartoons are unsurprisingly unavailable to watch on any official Disney platform, including Disney+, although most of them can be found on YouTube.
“I can understand how some of those films may be offensive today,” admits legendary Disney animator, Eric Goldberg, who has drawn Mickey in multiple contemporary cartoons, including the era-spanning “Mickey in a Minute,” which is seen in The Story of a Mouse. “I absolutely get it. But I think you have to put them in their context of where society was when those films were created and understand that they were a reflection of who we were at a certain time in history. I prefer for them to be seen, but I can understand why they’re not.”
Two of the biggest proponents for making those early Mickey shorts available are esteemed art historian, Carmenita Higginbotham, and pioneering animator, Floyd Norman, both of whom are Black. “I love Mickey in the ’20s and ’30s,” Higginbotham, Dean of the Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts, tells Yahoo Entertainment. “That’s where you have some incredible risk-taking, and a place where we get a sense of him as a personality. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, he becomes this necessary figure. And I also love his being in everyone’s face and his perseverance! Those are qualities that really resonate with me.”
“Mickey’s not necessarily a good guy in those cartoons,” she continues, noting that Warner Bros. has released some of the studio’s older Looney Tunes shorts on Blu-ray with statements warning of offensive or dated content. “Because of that you can really understand and read how issues of sexism and racism are playing out in a public context in that era. And all through physical humor. I’m an art historian, and I believe that art should be made accessible with the right context. They are cultural artifacts.”
Norman, meanwhile, is the only animator interviewed for The Story of a Mouse who actually knew Walt Disney. Born in 1935, he learned to draw after watching classics like Bambi and Dumbo and later became the first Black animator to work at the Mouse House, joining the company in 1957 — nine years before Disney’s death. “Walt was already legendary by the time I arrived at the studio,” Norman remembers. “I was able to observe him pretty close at hand and got to know the man. You realize just how much Walt Disney was the perfect representation of Mickey Mouse. He was the ultimate optimist, incredibly resourceful and a remarkable leader. And Mickey Mouse was all of those things.”
Having had that one-on-one experience with Disney — who voiced Mickey Mouse in all of those early cartoons — Norman understands that he was a man of his time, and the content of those shorts reflects that. “It was a different world, and a different time,” he observes. “There are a lot things we probably regret, and mistakes we’ve made. But I don’t believe in hiding history: we should all learn from history.”
“Looking back at the past, you recognize that the world has changed, and the culture has changed, but that doesn’t mean what happened back then should be censored or hidden from view,” Norman continues. “We should know about these things. If the studio wants to put a disclaimer at the head of those cartoons, I have no problem with that.”
But The Story of a Mouse doesn’t just tell the story of Mickey’s past — it also speculates about his possible future within the halls of Disney. Certainly, Mickey remains a major star at all of the Disney parks, and in merchandising. But in recent years, he’s also made a comeback as an animated personality. Young viewers are introduced to him in the pre-school friendly Disney Junior series, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, which lives on in re-runs years after it stopped producing original episodes. And Disney+ has found success with The Wonderful World of Mickey Mouse, a streaming series that launched in 2020 and features a more retro version of Mickey in both appearance and attitude.
For Goldberg, those examples prove to him that Mickey remains a “living, breathing” character beyond the frozen face that greets visitors as they walk into Disneyland or Disney World. “He is alive to use,” the animator says. “Mickey is a character with a particular personality, and a particular way of moving. We treat Mickey like he’s always in the present, not somebody who has been frozen in time. Any new piece of animation we do with the character reflects that.”
“Last year, we did a large piece of animation for the 50th anniversary of Disney World, and it was missing Mickey,” Goldberg continues. “We were told we needed to include him, and so we animated two minutes feature him for this show. And the response was fantastic! Everybody was like, ‘Hurray, there he is!’ So it’s not like the character has gone away or is in retirement: he’s still here and present for people.”
That said, it doesn’t appear that Disney has any immediate plans for a Mickey-centric feature film, at least none that they’d share with Malmberg and his producer, Meghan Walsh. “We haven’t been privy to that information,” Walsh says, laughing. “I’ll be the first person to be excited to see what’s coming. I remember watching the [2013 cartoon] “Get a Horse” before Frozen and that made a strong imprint on my mind years before this documentary. What they’ve done in the past ten or so years has been really cool from my perspective.”
For his part, Norman thinks that the timing is right for a new Mickey Mouse feature. “Mickey is a viable star,” he notes. “He sells tickets at the box office, there’s no doubt about that. He’s not going anywhere: he’s forever a part of the Disney studio and a part of our lives.”
As The Story of a Mouse notes, there will soon come a time when Mickey Mouse transitions from exclusive Walt Disney Company property into the public domain. That’s an inevitability that the corporation has so far managed to successfully postpone, most famously via the Copyright Term Extension Act that Congress passed in 1998. Famously introduced by then-California Congressman, Sonny Bono — who died in a skiing accident before it was signed into law — the bill extended the clock on copyrighted characters, including Disney’s menagerie of creations. Because Disney executives lobbied extensively for the bill, it’s since become known as the “Mickey Mouse Protection Act.”
But that extension is finally running out. On January 1, 2024, “Steamboat Willie” will enter the public domain, and that iteration of Mickey Mouse will be fair game for other artists to use without fear of legal repercussions. (Disney will still hold the copyright to later versions of Mickey, though.) In the past, the company has challenged individuals and companies that have used Mickey’s image without permission — including one famous case involving a day care center — and a spokesperson suggests to Malmberg in the documentary that the company has perhaps been too aggressive in that regard.
“I’m glad we were able to talk about that,” the director says. “This is far from an independent documentary: we are serving at the pleasure of the Disney Corporation. Within that, you have to have very firm lines in the sand of things that you want to talk about and things that you need to talk about. Copyright was one of them.”
Higginbotham, for one, is excited to see the art that a public domain Mickey inspires. “It’s going to be really interesting when that symbol goes worldwide and without restriction,” she notes. “How is that going to change how we understand what Mickey means? Right now, he is largely a symbol and not in the way he was in the ’30s.”
There’s a chance that Mickey might even return to his controversial ’30s roots. Next year, moviegoers will have the chance to see the new horror film, Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey, a gory horror movie starring A.A. Milne’s classic childhood character, who entered the public domain in January. (Disney continues to own the copyright to its version of Winnie the Pooh.) That means that an R-rated horror movie version of “Steamboat Willie” — with Mickey making like Jason Voorhees and Michael Myers and slicing-and-dicing his victims — could hit screens as early as 2025.
Asked how he’ll feel if a Mickey Mouse slasher movie goes into production, Norman just laughs. “You never know what’s going to happen when you let the cat out of the bag,” he says. “I’ll be watching, though! I’ll be watching.”

00 Sylvester Stallone says Bruce Willis is going through ‘really, really difficult times’ amid aphasia struggle
Sylvester Stallone is sharing a heartbreaking update about the health of his old pal Bruce Willis.
The Rocky star was asked if he had been in touch with Willis since his family announced in March that he was retiring from acting after being diagnosed with aphasia, a cognitive disorder that affects a person’s ability to speak and understand others.
“Bruce is going through some really, really difficult times,” Stallone told The Hollywood Reporter. “So he’s been sort of incommunicado.”
He went on to say, “That kills me. It’s so sad.”
The pair have been friends for years — as well as business partners. In the early ’90s, they banded together — along with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Willis’s first wife Demi Moore — to back the Planet Hollywood franchise.
They went on to co-star together in Stallone’s The Expendables franchise, which earned big bucks at the box office. However, while negotiating a deal for the third film in 2013, they had a spat over Willis’s salary. Willis reportedly wanted $4 million for four days of filming while Stallone wouldn’t go above $3 million. Stallone blasted Willis as “greedy and lazy” on social media. While Willis stopped playing Mr. Church, they did make up, with Stallone later clarifying that Willis was “a stand-up guy.” At the press conference ahead of the film’s release, Stallone said calling Willis out was “nothing personal.”
When the Willis family shared the news about his health earlier this year, Stallone was one of the Hollywood stars to react publicly. On social media, he posted a series of old photos of them together, writing,”We go back a long way, praying for the best for you and your wonderful family…”
Since Willis’s retirement, he’s kept out of the spotlight with the only real updates coming from his wife, Emma Heming, and his family. One of the last ones was a sweet video, set to Maren Morris’s “The Bones,” showing highlights from their summer. Willis danced with his two youngest daughters, gave one a piggyback, played frisbee and kissed his wife, among other sweet moments.
Willis has a few completed films in the hopper, including Paradise City, out Friday, which reunites him with his Pulp Fiction co-star John Travolta. According to a New York Times review, Willis "appears relatively alert and aware," despite reports of his struggles on the set before the diagnosis. It did note that Willis had little screen time and his one scene with Travolta "was clearly achieved through editing." He actually didn't share a frame with his other co-stars, and "more than once it sounds as if his dialogue was dubbed in by a similar-sounding actor."

00 Kathy Griffin Suspended from Twitter Shortly After Impersonating New CEO Elon Musk: ‘#FreeKathy’

Kathy Griffin has been suspended from Twitter shortly after she impersonated the social media platform’s new CEO, Elon Musk.
The 62-year-old comedian’s page was suspended Sunday, the same day she changed her account’s name to “Elon Musk” and mocked the Tesla founder, 51, in a tweet.
It is not immediately clear, however, if Griffin’s suspension came as a result of her mockery — or if it will be permanent — though Musk announced that same day that Twitter accounts that impersonate celebrities and other notable figures would be suspended, unless they’re labeled “parody.”
“Going forward, any Twitter handles engaging in impersonation without clearly specifying ‘parody’ will be permanently suspended,” Musk wrote in one tweet.
In another, he referenced Twitter’s new $8 monthly subscription service, Twitter Blue, which will allow any Twitter user to easily attain a blue checkmark symbol, something that was previously reserved to verify government accounts and notable figures, such as celebrities, politicians and journalists.
“Previously, we issued a warning before suspension, but now that we are rolling out widespread verification, there will be no warning. This will be clearly identified as a condition for signing up to Twitter Blue,” he said, adding in one other follow-up: “Any name change at all will cause temporary loss of verified checkmark.”
A representative for Twitter did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

00 Nick Carter sobs during tribute to Aaron during Backstreet Boys concert
Nick Carter sobbed while honoring his late brother, Aaron Carter, during Sunday’s Backstreet Boys concert.
Midway through the group’s show in London, Kevin Richardson got serious talking about Aaron’s sudden death on Saturday at age 34. He said during the group’s 29 years together, they had experienced “highs and lows” and currently had “heavy hearts” after losing “one of our family members,” Nick’s “little brother.” He was their little brother too, they said, as Aaron launched his solo singing career in the ’90s — at age 9 — opening for the boy band.
While Richardson spoke of their plan to recognize the “I Want Candy” and “Aaron’s Party (Come Get It)” singer during the show, the other band members — AJ McLean, Howie Dorough and Brian Littrell — hugged Nick, who was openly sobbing on the stage. They went on to sing their hit “No Place,” which is about family. Photos of Aaron and Nick flashed on the screen during the emotional performance.
Some of the photos were used in the social media tribute Nick posted after Aaron was found dead in his L.A. home on Saturday morning. Nick, who was estranged from his sibling, reflected in his post about their “complicated relationship” due to Aaron’s addiction and mental illness. Through the years, Aaron revealed he had been diagnosed withschizophrenia, multiple personality disorder an anxiety, and he had addictions to prescription drugs and huffing. In a final interview, Aaron claimed he was 5 years sober, but smoked marijuana and took Xanax “legally.”
