Michael Patrick, Irish actor known for Shakespeare roles and “Game of Thrones”, dies at 35

Michael Patrick, an Irish actor known for his turns in several high-profile Shakespearean stage productions, as well as on series likeGame of ThronesandThis Town, died on April 7 at the age of 35.

Patrick's wife, Naomi Sheehan, announced his death in anemotional Instagram poston Wednesday.

"Last night, Mick sadly passed away in the Northern Ireland Hospice. He was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease 1st February 2023," Sheehan explained in the caption of a picture of the couple at their wedding. "He was admitted 10 days ago and was cared for by the incredible team there. He passed peacefully surrounded by family and friends.""Words can’t describe how broken-hearted we are," she wrote.

According to theCleveland Clinic, Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a progressive neurological condition that slowly degrades the body's motor neurons, which enable normal muscle functions like moving, speaking, eating, and breathing. There is currently no cure for MND.

Sheehan continued in her post, "It’s been said more than once that Mick was an inspiration to everyone who was privileged enough to come into contact with him, not just in the past few years during his illness but in every day of his life. He lived a life as full as any human can live. Joy, abundance of spirit, infectious laughter. A titan of a ginger haired man."

Patrick's wife extended gratitude "for every person who supported us through the last few years," and left off with a quote that Patrick "loved" from renowned Irish poet Brendan Behan: "The most important things to do in the world are to get something to eat, something to drink and somebody to love you."

A Cambridge graduate, Patrick appeared in several productions of Shakespeare at the esteemed Royal Shakespeare Company in London, includingMeasure for MeasureandThe Taming of the Shrew.

Even after Patrick's MND diagnosis left him using a wheelchair, he continued turning in acclaimed stage performances, appearing in the title role in aproduction ofRichard IIIat Belfast's Lyric Theatre in 2024.

On TV, Patrick appeared as a wildling rioter in the sixth season ofGame of Thrones. He also starred in several BBC series, includingThis TownandBlue Lights.

"My neurologist gave us the news that I likely have about 1 year left," he wrote, but vowed that he still had "lots to live for and lots planned."

Eiza Gonzalez’s Dolce & Gabbana Swimsuit Features Massive Back Cutout

Eiza Gonzálezcontinues to deliver striking beachside moments in her latest Women’s Health photoshoot. This time around, the “Baby Driver” actor opts for multiple swimwear items for the editorial. However, one of the photos stands out, which sees her posing on the sand in a daring Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit that puts a bold twist on classic swimwear design.

Eiza Gonzalez wows in Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit with huge cutout for Women’s Health

Shot along the shoreline, Eiza González appears seated on the sand as waves roll in behind her, creating a dramatic yet natural backdrop. The actor wears a sleek black one-piece by Dolce & Gabbana that blends minimalism with a daring silhouette. From the front, the swimsuit looks simple and put together, but the design reveals its most striking feature from the back.

The piece has a massive open back cutout that dramatically exposes her back while maintaining a sculpted fit through the torso. The bold cutout design adds an element of sensuality while keeping the overall aesthetic refined and modern. The Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit also features extended boy-short style bottoms that reach down to her lower thigh. It appears almost bodysuit-like rather than a traditional high-cut swimsuit.

The beach setting enhances the raw, editorial feel of the photoshoot. Sand dusted across González’s arms and legs gives the images a natural texture, while the crashing waves behind her create a powerful, cinematic atmosphere. Styling for the shoot remains intentionally minimal. González’s dark hair appears wet and tousled, adding to the coastal aesthetic. Meanwhile, her makeup stays soft and bronzed to complement the warm tones of the beach environment. The simplicity of the styling allows the swimsuit’s daring cut to take center stage.

The images are part of González’s larger Women’s Health cover story, which explores her personal journey and evolving career. In theinterview, the actor reflects on her path from early acting roles in Mexico City to breaking into Hollywood with the 2017 film “Baby Driver.”

With its dramatic cutout and striking beachside setting, González’s Dolce & Gabbana swimsuit moment proves that a bold silhouette can make just as powerful a statement as high-fashion looks.

Dax Shepard speaks out about Kristen Bell anniversary post backlash

Dax Shepardis speaking out about thatKristen Bell anniversary post backlash.

On theApril 6 episode of his "Armchair Expert" podcast, the "Parenthood" star, 51, addressed the controversy surrounding Bell'sOct. 17 Instagram post celebratingtheir wedding anniversary. The "Good Place" actress, 45, wrote, "Happy 12th wedding anniversary to the man who, after [an] episode of 'Dateline,' once said to me: 'I would never kill you. A lot of men have killed their wives at a certain point. Even though I'm heavily incentivized to kill you, I never would.'"

The post sparked outrage as some fans argued Bell was making light of domestic violence and that it was tone-deaf during Domestic Violence Awareness Month.

Speaking with his guestNikki Glaseron "Armchair Expert," Shepard alluded to the situation when he dismissed "all these people that are convinced I'm beating Kristen," arguing those who were "outraged" about the post were people who have "never been in a relationship."

"We both grew up with domestic violence, so if you tell me how domestic violence works, I can tell you those guys who beat my mom's a-- never went online to find out if it was acceptable from someone," he said. "That's not actually how it works. ... So you want to be really mad about a hypothetical scenario that's never happened."

Kristen Bellshares divisive anniversary post for Dax Shepard: 'I would never kill you'

Glaser quickly jumped in to defend Shepard during the interview, arguing Bell was simply sharing "inside jokes that you make in your house," adding that anyone would similarly be "canceled" for the things they joke about privately with their spouse. "The backlash to whatever you went through, I think, was spurred very intensely by people just not understanding that kind of intimacy," she told Shepard.

Later in the episode, Shepard looped back to the topic and told fans, "Don't insult my wife. She doesn't need your protection. You don't need to diminish her. That's what pisses me off." But the actor admitted he had no idea about the backlash to Bell's post until "a week and a half" after the fact.

"Kristen knew through her publicist, but didn't tell me," he said. "So I actually didn't know, and this was brought to my attention. ... I had no clue. Someone comforted me, and ... I had to go to Kristen, 'What are they talking about?' And she's like, 'Oh, that post I had.'"

In fact, Shepard recalled his mother reached out to offer support, only for him to realize she was actually supporting him for something entirely different: Hiscommentsthat he offered to pay to freeze his daughter's eggs when she turned 18.

"My mom called me and she goes, 'I'm proud of what they're saying.' And I go, 'That people think I abuse Kristen?'" he said. "And she goes, 'Oh, what's that? No, the thing about freezing your daughter's eggs.' I'm like, 'Wait a minute. That's a story?'"

But while Glaser was on Shepard's side, she shared a joke about the post that she wrote for her Golden Globes monologue but didn't use: "'Die My Love.' 'If I Had Legs I'd Kick You.' 'Sorry, Baby.' ... These are not just Dax Shepard captions for his anniversary post. These are movies nominated tonight."

Some of Shepard and Bell's famous friends defended the anniversary post at the time, with Terry Crews writing, "This is LOVE❤️😂." But others took to the comments to share their outrage. "Domestic violence isn't a joke," read one comment that received over 55,000 likes, while another person wrote, "Crazy thing to joke about honestly. Sincerely, someone who thankfully survived."

The official Instagram account for NBC's "Dateline" also wrote in the comments, "Screenshotted."

While on the topic of recent controversies, Shepard also dismissed news coverage of an "Armchair Expert"interview with Cherwhere the legendary singer said he is "lucky" to be with Bell. Shepard said it drives him "nuts" to see people suggesting he was offended by the comments or that it was an awkward situation.

"We released it," he said. "We posted it! You know how I feel about it: I think it's hilarious. That's why I posted it."

If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, call theNational Domestic Violence Hotlineat 800-799-7233 or text "START" to 88788.

Kate Hudson’s Blinding Valentino Dress Is Held up by Just 2 Strings

Kate Hudsonis reminding the world why she is the ultimate red carpet queen. Gracing a special cover for The Hollywood Reporter, the actress looks breathtaking in aValentinogown that defines high-octane glamor. As a “Red Carpet Royal,” Hudson proves that her style only gets better with time. Her latest look is a shimmering masterpiece that perfectly captures the magic of a long-standing creative partnership and a bold fashion spirit.

Kate Hudson graces Hollywood Reporter cover in Valentino sequin dress hanging by just 2 strings

Kate Hudson has mastered the art of effortless elegance, and her latest cover shoot is proof. For The Hollywood Reporter’s Power Stylists issue, she posed with her longtime stylist, Sophie Lopez. The standout feature of the shoot was her blindingly sequin Valentino dress.

The gown, covered in large, silver reflective sequins, creates a liquid-metal effect. What makes the dress so daring is its delicate construction. The heavy, shimmering fabric, held up by just two thin spaghetti strings, creates a deep, plunging neckline. It also features a soft green lining that peeks out at the chest, adding a subtle pop of color to the metallic look.

Hudson looks absolutely radiant in the shot. She is sitting on a plush velvet sofa, letting the long skirt of the dress pool around her. Her blonde hair, styled in beachy, voluminous waves, looks natural and relaxed. This soft hairstyle balances the intense sparkle of the Valentino sequins perfectly. Her makeup is warm and glowing, with a focus on bronzed skin and a neutral lip.

The look’s overall vibe is “relaxed opulence.” Even in a couture gown, Kate Hudson appears comfortable and confident. Sophie Lopez notes that their collaboration is built on a “deep level of trust,” allowing them to take these kinds of fashion risks.

ICE agents shoot and wound man during traffic stop in Central California

Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents shot a man, who was then taken to a hospital, while attempting to arrest him during a targeted traffic stop Tuesday in California’s Central Valley, the agency said.

Acting ICE Director Todd Lyons said the ICE officers fired defensive shots after the person they stopped attempted to run an agent over, according to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security.

The shooting happened near Interstate 5 in Patterson, about 90 miles south of Sacramento.

DHS identified the person shot as Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, an undocumented immigrant and “18th Street Gang member wanted in El Salvador for questioning in connection to a murder.”

Attorney Patrick Kolasinski, who is representing Mendoza Hernandez, disputed the DHS account of the encounter and said the agents may have mistaken his client for someone with a similar name, theAssociated Pressreported.

CNN reached out to Kolasinski for comment.

Mendoza Hernandez, a day laborer, has a 2-year-old daughter and is engaged to a US citizen, Kolasinski told the AP.

Mendoza Hernandez’s family wasn’t able to immediately see him in the hospital, but were told he was stable, Kolasinski added.

Two dashcam videos obtained by CNN show a car crossing over the highway lane divider after being surrounded by agents. One agent is seen running out of the way of the car. It’s not clear exactly when agents fired at the vehicle because the footage does not have sound.

“As officers approached the car, the wanted gang member weaponized his vehicle in an attempt to run an officer over. Following their training, our officers fired defensive shots to protect themselves, their fellow agents, and the public,” the DHS statement said.

DHS says its agents have been the target of increasing violence, citing more than180 vehicle attackssince Trump’s second term started. But the administration’s initial accounts of shootings involving federal agents have, in some cases, changed over time – or been proven wrong altogether.

The FBI is conducting an investigation, Acting Special Agent in Charge Eugene Wu said. The Stanislaus County Sheriff’s Office told CNN it’s assisting, and it confirmed no local law enforcement was involved with the incident.

Dashcam footage captures incident

At least three law enforcement agents are seen surrounding a black vehicle on a road near Interstate 5, video obtained by CNN shows. The black vehicle then backs up and its passenger-side door hits another car on the road.

Agents then point their guns at the vehicle as it stops for about two seconds. The car then turns left and crosses over the highway lane divider, while an agent runs out of the way of the car.

It’s not clear when exactly agents fired at the vehicle.

Christina Valencia, whose Tesla captured one of the videos obtained by CNN, said she noticed the flashing lights from her car.

“All of a sudden I heard like a shot fired … and then maybe like 10 seconds later, I heard about five or six more go off,” she said.

CNN cannot independently confirm Valencia’s account of the gunfire.

From there, the two agents ran to their trucks and then drove in the direction of the suspect, she said. They ultimately ended up under a nearby overpass.

When the shots started, she said she put her car in reverse. “I was scared because I was like there’s nowhere for me to go,” Valencia said.

Credibility of DHS accounts questioned in prior car-involved incidents

While agents have beensubjected to violencesince the start of Trump’s crackdown on illegal immigration last year, DHS has also at times faceda crisis of credibilityregarding claims it has made in the aftermath of some high-profile incidents. In arrests and use-of-force encounters across the country, versions provided by DHS of some eventshave been contradictedby eyewitness accounts and bystander video and challenged by independent judges.

Altercations in or around vehicles have been asteady symbolof the administration’s immigration crackdown, includingcar crashesbetween federal agents and people who try to flee, traffic stopsturned violentand alleged rammings involving pro-immigrant activists.

The phrase “weaponized his/her vehicle” has beenrepeated by officialsincluding former DHS Secretary Kristi Noem when she described Renee Good, a Minneapolis mother shot and killed by an ICE agent this year. Good’s death prompted widespread protests and her burgundy SUV has become a recognizable symbol of the chaotic immigration operations in Minneapolis.

The Trump administration has also come under criticism for deporting migrants it alleges are gang members, without providing evidence, such as in the case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. It accused wrongly deported Abrego Garcia of being an active member of MS-13 - a claim his lawyer and family deny. Abrego Garcia is currentlyfighting against deportationin federal court.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has urged federal law enforcement to collaborate with state and local partners in investigating Tuesday’s shooting.

“As is established practice, we expect our federal law enforcement partners to appropriately collaborate with state and local law enforcement as this matter is investigated,” Newsom’s office saidon X.

This story has been updated with additional information.

Aubrey O’Day Responds After Backlash for Attending Kanye West Concert

Aubrey O’Dayhas clapped back at critics after she was called out online for attending twoKanye Westconcerts last week.

Due to a series of scandalous actions and public statements, Kanye has been at thecenter of controversyfor some time. As a result,several brandsand former celebrity friends distanced themselves from the rapper … but, clearly, Aubrey wasn’t one of them. Here’s what she had to say about it.

Aubrey said she “can hold two truths at once”

To recap, Kanye performed astring of concertsin California last week, and it later came to light that Aubrey had attended two ofthese shows. Aubrey’s decision to support Kanyeprompted backlashfrom some people online, with one person calling the former Danity Kane member – who alsorecently appeared onthe Netflix documentary about the downfall ofSean “Diddy” Combs– a “f*cking hypocrite.”

To that, Aubrey had a strong response. Taking to X herself, she drew a line between “engaging” in art and agreeing with an artist’s opinions.

“I can hold two truths at once,” the musician told her 450k followers. “I’ve been vocal about abuse because I’ve lived it, and I don’t excuse it, ever. That hasn’t changed. But I also don’t believe engaging with someone’s art means I co-sign every opinion or action they’ve ever had.”

“If that were the rule, most of this industry, and honestly most of the world, would be off limits,” she continued.

“What I don’t support is harm, exploitation, or violence,” Aubrey went on. “And I’ve been consistent about that. You can disagree with where I draw my line, but calling it hypocrisy ignores the nuance.”

Aubrey ended her post by reminding her fans (and critics) that “it’s not black and white.”

“I’ve been clear about where I stand on abuse,” she added. “That doesn’t change because I attended a show. Nuance isn’t hypocrisy, it’s reality.”
