Three people arrested after attempting to break into Larsa Pippen's Miami home

Three people were arrested after allegedly attempting to break into "Real Housewives of Miami" star Larsa Pippen's home on Sunday, Pinecrest Police said.

Police said in a release onFacebookthat the three people, who were all from out of state, were apprehended within minutes after attempting to flee from the property.

Initially, police were called to the area of 67th Avenue and 113th Street in Pinecrest for a house alarm. Once officers were on their way to the address, they were told that surveillance video showed a "burglary in progress," police said in a separate statement shared with NBC News.

Officers arrived to find a vehicle fleeing the scene, which then crashed at the corner of Southwest 57th Avenue and 94th Street, according to the police statement. The suspects got out of the car and attempted to run to a nearby neighborhood before police took them into custody.

"This incident serves as a stark reminder that Pinecrest will not tolerate criminal activity," police said in the Facebook statement.

No further information was provided about the incident or the arrest. Representatives for Pippen did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Pippen has been in the headlines recently after reports surfaced this month that Bravo was pausing production of "Real Housewives of Miami" due to low ratings.

Pippen said on her Instagram story she was "not happy" about the news and slammed Bravo sister series, the "Real Housewives of New York City," calling it "terrible without the old cast members."

‘Reacher’ Fans Go Wild as Alan Ritchson’s ‘Idol’ Audition Resurfaces After Brawl

Before becoming action star Jack Reacher andgetting into scraps with his neighbor,Alan Ritchsonwas one of manyAmerican Idolauditionees looking for his break into the industry. Now a tape of him is doing the rounds online again after Ritchson recently hit the news for all the wrong reasons.

Last week, an X user reshared a clip from Ritchson's somewhat awkward audition onIdol's third season, which TV Insider wrote about inFebruary 2025. In the video, a 20-year-old Ritchson appeared before judgesSimon Cowell,Randy Jackson, andPaula Abdul, wearing a tight-fitting t-shirt that showed off his muscles.

"Can I just say, before you start, thank you for putting a little smile on Paula's face," Cowell joked as a bashful Abdul laughed.

"There was this one guy in Atlanta, his name was Alan Ritchson, and he's totally hot," Abdul said in a confessional.

Cowell and Jackson then left the audition room and let Ritchson serenade Abdul up close and personal with a performance of Stevie Wonder's "You Are the Sunshine of My Life." While not having the greatest vocals ever, all three judges voted "yes", sending him to the next round.

Ritchson made it through to Hollywood Week, where he performed an original song and took part in a group performance with two fellow contestants. He didn't make the judge's final 32.

Fans flooded social media with reactions to the resurfaced clip, with one X user writing, "Alan Ritchson onAmerican Idolcharming Paula Abdul?? That's legendary."

"Alan Ritchson has always been hot before be beefed up," said another.

"Wait alan ritchson on idol? that's wild," another added.

One user wrote, "This is just another proof the aspiring actors are the same ones showing up in every single TV show."

"Don't think ive ever seen Reacher smile, nevermind sing," quipped another.

"Charms Paula Abdul AND becomes an action hero? That's a win-win career arc," one fan added.

"Paula Abdul has taste, she recognized the future action star energy," another user commented.

"From Idol crooner to Reacher crusher, what a glow-up," said another.

While Ritchson didn't succeed onIdol, he went on to build an impressive career in film and television. A year after his 2004Idolaudition, he landed a role as Arthur Curry/Aquaman onSmallvillebefore taking his first main cast role inBlue Mountain Statein 2010. Since 2022, he's starred in the titular role of Prime Video's action-dramaReacher.

Ritchson has been in the news recently after getting into an a brawl with a neighbor in Tennessee. Initially,TMZ released footagethat seemingly showed Ritchson hitting a man and knocking him to the ground after an argument ensued about the actor riding his motorbike through the neighborhood.

The neighbor, Ronnie Taylor, told TMZ that the Titans star punched him in the face and kicked him to the ground while repeatedly hitting his head. Ritchson then reportedly fell off his bike, got back up, and tried to run Taylor off.

However, Ritchson later revealed that he was wearing a bodycam andreleased the footage to TMZ. In Ritchson's video, Taylor jumps in front of the motorbike, causing the actor to fall to the ground. After an argument, Ritchson tries to drive away, but Taylor keeps standing in front of the bike and pushes Ritchson to the floor. Ritchson then hits Taylor, knocking him to the ground and telling him to "stay down."

Joseph Duggar Pleads Not Guilty to Child Molestation Charges and Demands Jury Trial as Judge Sets Bond at $600,000

Joseph Duggar appeared before a judge on March 31 in Bay County, Fla., to answer two charges of lewd and lascivious behavior

NEED TO KNOW

• He entered a not guilty plea to all charges, waived arraignment and demanded a jury trial in as written request two days prior to his hearing. His bond was set at $600,000

• Joseph is accused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girl on multiple occasions during a family vacation to Panama City Beach in 2020

Joseph Duggar made his first appearance before a Florida judge on Tuesday morning.

The reality star, 31, appeared remotely from the Bay County Jail for the proceedings just a few hours after being booked into custody at the facility following hisextradition from Arkansas.

His bond was set at $600,000 by the judge during his brief appearance, and he is due back in court on April 20.

He isaccused of sexually assaulting a 9-year-old girlmultiple times during a family vacation to Panama City Beach in 2020 and is charged with lewd and lascivious behavior molesting a victim under 12 and lewd and lascivious behavior conducted by a person over 18.

Two days before his court appearance, Joseph submitted a written plea of not guilty to all charges, waived arraignment on those charges and demanded a jury trial, in a document signed by his attorney.

His court appearance comes exactly two weeks after he first confessed to the father of his accuser, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant obtained by PEOPLE.

The following day, Joseph's accuser, who is now 14, spoke with a detective from the Tontitown Police Department

Bay County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigator Chase Norris summarized that interview in the affidavit, writing that Joseph "asked the victim to sit on his lap, numerous times" and "would cradle the victim with his arms."

Joseph then began to "ask the victim to sit on the couch" beside him, according to the affidavit.

Once sitting, Joseph "covered the parties with a blanket" the affidavit says, before proceeding to "pull the victim's dress up and touch the victim's thighs."

In her interview the girl said Joseph "would touch the top portions of her thighs and would inch higher and higher, closer to the victim's waistline."

The girl said this happened on several occasions, and that "the defendant's hand grazed the victim's vagina" each time, "which made her feel uncomfortable and confused," according to the affidavit.

Joseph "eventually approached the victim and apologized for his actions" according to the affidavit, and "the incidents stopped occurring after the defendant apologized for his actions."

Taylor Swift sued for trademark infringement over "The Life of a Showgirl"

Taylor Swift is facing a new lawsuit over her latest album,"The Life of a Showgirl,"which accuses the singer of trademark infringement.

Filed Monday in federal court by Las Vegas performer Maren Wade, the complaint claims Swift titled her hit record despite being aware of its resemblance to the title of a column that Wade penned for Las Vegas Weekly called"Confessions of a Showgirl,"centered around anecdotes about her experiences in the entertainment industry. The column was first published in 2014, the document said, and Wade later adapted it into a live show and book by the same name.

Wade obtained a registered trademark for "Confessions of a Showgirl" from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in 2015. The trademark eventually received "incontestable" status, signaling the owner's right to exclusively use it after having done so consistently for a period of years, according to the lawsuit andthe trademark office.

When Swift later applied to register a trademark of her own for "The Life of a Showgirl," the office denied her application, allegedly on the grounds that its title was "confusingly similar" to Wade's already established one, Wade's attorney, Jaymie Parkkinen, told CBS News in a statement.

"They continued using it anyway, expanding it across a coordinated commercial program and distributing it through retail channels reaching millions of consumers" the lawsuit said, referring to Swift's team. It added that Wade "was never contacted" about the name.

The lawsuit claims that Swift's album title undermined Wade's personal brand, after the performer had spent more than a decade building it.

"She registered it. She earned it," said Parkkinen. "We have great respect for Swift's talent and success, but trademark law exists to ensure that creators at all levels can protect what they've built. That's what this case is about."

Wade's complaint said similarities between "Confessions of a Showgirl" and "The Life of a Showgirl" are "immediate," as both titles "share the same structure, the same dominant phrase, and the same overall commercial impression." It also said the brands "are used in overlapping markets and are directed at the same consumers."

In addition to trademark infringement, the suit also accused Swift and UMG Recordings of unfair competition and, specifically,false designation, a law that prohibits goods or services circulated in commerce from misrepresenting their origins to consumers. UMG Recordings is a branch of Universal Music Group, to which Swift is signed. The lawsuit also named Bravado International Group Merchandising Services, Inc., another branch of UMG.

Wade is seeking unspecified damages for "the irreparable harm to her business, reputation, and goodwill" as a result of the alleged trademark violation, as well as a court order that would prevent Swift from continuing to use the title of her hit album.

Swift's commercial success "does not depend on the continued use of any single designation," the lawsuit argued, while "Confessions of a Showgirl" is Wade's only trademark and the basis of her "professional identity and career."

"It is not one mark among hundreds," the complaint said. "It is the only one she has."

John Mulaney told his Elvis Presley superfan son that the singer was dead mid-Graceland tour

Graceland turned into the Heartbreak Hotel afterJohn Mulaneyhad to break some bad news to hisElvis Presleysuperfan son, Malcolm.

TheJohn Mulaney & the Sack Lunch Bunchstar revealed that he had to inform his 4-year-old son, whom he shares with wifeOlivia Munn, that the King of Rock and Roll was dead while they were on a recent tour of Graceland.

"Malcolm, my son, is 4, but he's a huge Elvis fan," Mulaney explained on Monday's episode ofThe Late Show With Stephen Colbert. "And I said to him, 'Do you want to get a tour of Elvis' house?' And he was like, 'Elvis' house? Awesome.'"

The father-son duo embarked on a private tour of Presley's estate that evening.

"We're walking through, [the guide] goes, 'We're gonna show you some special spots because you're performing here at Graceland,'" Mulaney remembered. "My son goes, 'I want to go on the roof.'"

While they weren't able to visit the roof, the pair were able to visit the singer's famous jungle room. "We're looking around and Malcolm goes, 'Dad, can I meet Elvis now?'" Mulaney recalled. "It had never come up while listening to 'Hound Dog.' You don't go, 'Son, you know this guy's dead, right?'"

He added, "Then I realized all his grandparents are alive and he's never had a goldfish. And he doesn't know… and he's about to find out in the jungle room at Graceland that everybody dies."

So Mulaney had to explain to his son why he couldn't meet his idol. "I said, 'Elvis is in heaven now.' And he said, 'Why?'" he recalled. "And I said, 'Uh, well, sometimes when people are in their early 40s, and they have a job and schedule a lot like Daddy, and some of the same issues as Daddy, they go to the bathroom and they go to heaven.'"

When a laughing Stephen Colbert acknowledged that there were worse ways to die, Mulaney responded, "Dude, what better life?"

Mulaney previously revealed that Malcolm is such a big fan of the King that his third birthday party was Elvis-themed. "He's a really big Elvis fan," Mulaney explained while visitingThe Tonight Showin 2024. "I think it started withLilo & Stitch, because they listen to Elvis in that movie."

But watching Presley's 1968 comeback special was what really sealed the deal. "My son, 2 years old, was riveted," he said. "More than anyInside Out, Moana,anything. Staring at Elvis in a leather suit in the late '60s."
