Isabella Strahan is enduring a novel side effect as a result of her cancer therapy. Michael Strahan's daughter said that the new drugs she is receiving are impacting her memory, resulting in entire days that seem to be erased from her recollection. She was diagnosed with medulloblastoma, a cancerous tumor on the base of the brain, in October. I don't remember Tuesday, Isabella stated in a video that was
uploaded on May 22 to her YouTube account. They give me Ativan when I have a reaction to this medication, which is meant to protect my hearing. And for some reason, I can't recall a single detail of that day—this happened the last time as well.

After the release of U.O.E.N.O in 2013, rapper Rick Ross faced backlash from the general public after rapping about slipping Molly in a woman’s champagne and raping her. The Florida rapper lost major endorsement deal with over 72,000 signatures urging Reebok to drop him as a spokesperson. “I needed to understand l was a king and they were right, l didn’t need to promote that. There was more rhyme and reason behind the lyrics than some people may have cared for,” he stated. He claimed that the lyrics were just a reflection of the social life he came around, and wanted to resonate with those living that particular lifestyle.

Sean Kingston was arrested in California on Thursday, shortly after his mother was taken into custody in Florida. An arrest warrant for the 34-year-old "Beautiful Girls" singer had been issued earlier in the day following a raid on a South Florida mansion he was renting. At the time, Kingston was out of state for a performance in California.

The Broward Sheriff's Office confirmed to PEOPLE, "This evening, police in Fort Irwin, Calif., arrested Kisean Anderson, aka Sean Kingston, without incident on a Broward Sheriff's Office arrest warrant for numerous fraud and theft charges. According to investigators, he will be booked into jail in San Bernardino, Calif."

Earlier that day, Kingston's mother, Janice Turner, 61, was arrested at the mansion on her own fraud and theft charges. The Broward Sheriff's Office stated that the arrest and search warrants were executed at a Southwest Ranches residence following an ongoing investigation.

Before his arrest, Kingston posted on his Instagram Stories, "People love negative energy! I am good and so is my mother! My lawyers are handling everything as we speak."

The raid stemmed from a lawsuit filed by Ver Ver Entertainment in February, claiming Kingston had not paid for items purchased from the company. The complaint, obtained by PEOPLE, alleges that Kingston made "numerous false representations" and falsely claimed a "current and ongoing working relationship" with singer Justin Bieber, with whom he collaborated on “Eenie Meanie” in 2010 and “Won’t Stop” in 2011.

The lawsuit also asserts that Kingston promised to produce promotional videos with Bieber to offset his payments and credit for the items hebought, but there was no ongoing relationship with Bieber. The complaint further alleges that Kingston breached his contract by failing to paydespite multiple attempts to collect payment in January and that he has a "long history of engaging in fraudulent conduct."

Ver Ver Entertainment noted that a judgment was entered against Kingston in 2015 after he obtained $356,000 in watches without payment, with
additional judgments in 2016 and 2022 for acquiring $301,500 in jewelry and luxury watches worth over $1 million without paying.

Attorney Dennis Card told PEOPLE, "I filed a lawsuit against Sean Kingston. A detective in Broward County read my lawsuit and contacted me, so we went down and gave a recorded statement and an affidavit with my client." He added that they had been "waiting on this raid for more than two months now."

On Thursday evening, Oprah Winfrey acknowledged her significant influence in promoting diet culture over the years. During a live event broadcast on YouTube in partnership with WeightWatchers, she candidly addressed her past involvement.

“I want to acknowledge that I have been a steadfast participant in this diet culture,” Winfrey admitted. “Through my platforms, the magazine, the talk show for 25 years, and online, I’ve been a major contributor. I cannot tell you how many weight loss shows and makeovers I have done, and they have been a staple since I’ve been working in television.” She recognized that by focusing on weight, she had set an unrealistic standard for herself and her audience.

The three-hour live special featured notable figures such as Rebel Wilson, Amber Riley, WeightWatchers CEO Sima Sistani, and various medical experts. The event marked a significant shift for WeightWatchers, moving away from traditional diet culture and towards body acceptance and medical interventions, including drugs like Ozempic.

Sistani emphasized that weight loss isn’t solely about willpower and that diet culture and body shaming are unhealthy. Winfrey, who revealed in December that she added a weight-loss medication to her regimen, stepped down from the WeightWatchers board in February. Her departure, a
year earlier than expected, was amicable and unrelated to any disagreements with the company.

Winfrey also announced her decision to donate her substantial stake in WeightWatchers to the National Museum of African American History andCulture. Reflecting on her departure, Winfrey explained on Jimmy Kimmel  In March that she wanted the freedom to discuss various topics withoutpotential conflicts of interest, especially as WeightWatchers now incorporates weight-health medications into their services.

WeightWatchers launched the “GLP-1 Program” in December, catering to members using GLP-1 prescription drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy forweight loss. This program offers access to doctors, daily nutrition plans, insurance coordination, and additional support. The initiative followed WeightWatchers’ acquisition of Sequence, a telehealth company, for over $100 million.

“I was on the board during the discussions about whether WeightWatchers should move into weight loss medications,” Winfrey said. “As someone who struggled with WeightWatchers, I advised that they join this movement or risk being left behind. I supported the acquisition of Sequence and the shift towards medical intervention.”

WeightWatchers now provides a GLP-1 program for those already taking these medications, offering behavioral and nutritional guidance, and atelehealth clinic providing access to certified clinicians and weight loss medications.

Analysts at Goldman Sachs predict that by 2031, approximately 15 million adults in the US will be on these medications, representing about 13% ofthe adult population, excluding diabetic patients.
