Ellen DeGeneres accused of T-boning car in new lawsuit


Ellen DeGeneres has been accused of causing an auto collision in California prior to her move to England.

In documents obtained by Page Six on Friday, a woman driver claimed the former talk show hit her Tesla after allegedly blowing past a stop sign in Santa Barbara County in October 2023.

Per the docs, the woman claimed while driving her Tesla, she came upon an intersection with multiple stop signs, stopped and checed for oncoming traffic before proceeding.

The complainant alleged while moving into the intersection, she was abruptly T-boned by the comedian, 67, causing her an injury.

Per the docs, citing DeGeneres’ alleged failure to yield at the stop sign, the complainant is suing her for negligence and seeking unspecified damages.

A representative for DeGeneres did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.

The news comes just over two weeks after a former cameraman on the star’s former eponymous talk show came forward with more claims about the show’s allegedly toxic atmosphere.

“We went through a lot of male employees just in general,” the ex-employee claimed to the Daily Mail last month. “We had a feeling she really didn’t like guys.”

While the former staffer on the daily show said DeGeneres could be “nice,” to staffers, if they were “caught in conversation with [her wife] Portia [de Rossi,]” they could be in trouble.

“You just hoped and prayed you weren’t seated by her wife, so you didn’t get her attention,” he claimed. He also accused his former boss of having a feud with “Hell’s Kitchen” star Gordon Ramsay, saying that she once told an EP, “Don’t let this guy on the show again.” 

In 2020, when a deluge of toxic workplace claims emerged, the comedian addressed the allegations on the now defunct show.

“I learned that things happened here that never should’ve happened,” she told the audience. “I take that very seriously, and I want to say I’m so sorry to the people who were affected.” The show came to an end in 2022.

DeGeneres — who also allegedly fell out with Rosie O’Donnell after decades of friendship — fled the United States with de Rossi following the 2024 presidential election and settled across the pond at a dreamy farmhouse in the Cotswolds. In July, news broke they were selling the estate and had already moved to another home nearby.

The actress confirmed that same month that she and the “Arrested Development” star had left the country because of the second election of president Donald Trump.

“We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in,’” she recalled in an onstage conversation with British host Richard Bacon, per the BBC. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here.’”

She added in part, “Everything here is just better — the way animals are treated, people are polite. I just love it here.”

Sally Jessy Raphael looks unrecognizable in rare photos


Iconic talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael shared rare photos amid her retirement, and looked nearly unrecognizable from her network television days.

In one Instagram photo shared Friday, the former “Sally” host rocked bright red hair, a black and white sundress and a green scarf as she enjoyed a breezy boat ride. She captioned the post with a nod to her “Raphaelites,” adding that she’s “serving you sailboat vibes.”

In two additional pics, the TV host, 90, pulled her fiery red locks into a ponytail and donned a tie-dye T-shirt while lounging at the end of a dock.

“Hope you’re all enjoying your summer as much as I am 💗,” she captioned the July 19 pics.  

In yet another, the Daytime Emmy Award winner snacked on oysters during a getaway. “In New England enjoying some oysters… aren’t these supposed to be an aphrodisiac?! 😜 ” she joked in the caption.

In February, the TV star shared a snap of herself living her best life in Paris while leaning out a window to check out the City of Lights.

Raphael’s memorable talk show “Sally” — previously known as “Sally Jessy Raphael” — aired from 1983 to 2002, and was known for its sensationalistic audience participation style and issue driven content. The former radio host won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 1989.

Her husband, Karl Soderlund — with whom she shared adopted son Jason and three foster children — died in 2020 after 57 years of marriage. She also shared daughters Allison (who died in 1992) and Andrea with former husband Andrew Vladimir, whom she divorced in 1963.

Raphael opened up to People in March about turning 90 following a highly visible career in television.

“It’s really interesting being 90 because if you dye your hair and you don’t have any veins in your legs, then people say you look young,” she told the outlet.

“And that’s always nice that people say, although why they think looking young when you can claim 90 is beyond me, but they think it’s a compliment.”

“People always say, ‘That cute old lady,’ so I guess I’m cute again,” Raphael, seen here in a March Instagram photo, told People. thesallyjessy/Instagram

She also reflected on the benefits of being in her senior years.

“You’re cute when you’re young, and then for a long time, you’re not cute,” she said.

“And then when you get to be 80 or 90, you’re cute again. People always say, ‘That cute old lady,’ so I guess I’m cute again.”

Tiger Woods, Vanessa Trump are ‘wedding bells serious’


Tiger Woods and Vanessa Trump’s romance is heating up fast — so much so that wedding bells may be in their future.

Page Six exclusively revealed in March that the two were secretly dating, with the golf legend confirming the relationship just weeks later. Now, a source close to Trump tells us that they could be headed down the aisle.

“They’re very serious,” the insider said, adding, “Wedding bells serious.”

Trump’s pal went mum on whether an engagement — or walk down the aisle — is actually in the works at this time, but gushed, “She’s so happy! She’s finally found happiness. She’s found happiness for the first time in her life.”

Reps for the couple did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The update is a far cry from earlier this year, when Trump, 47, and Woods, 49, attempted to keep their burgeoning love a secret. They were so private about it that the socialite wasn’t even telling her mom, Bonnie Haydon, at the time, an insider told us.

“[Vanessa’s] so happy! She’s finally found happiness,” the insider gushed. Twitter/tigerwoods

A second source described their early relationship as “not too serious,” but noted that it seemed to be “heading” in a good direction.

“They have a lot in common. They’ve both gotten used to public scrutiny,” the source said of the bond between Woods and Trump.

“They both know how to keep their private life private. They’re both parents.”

Privacy was top priority at the beginning, insiders previously told Page Six, partly due to Trump being “very private” and not liking “the spotlight.”

Meanwhile, Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren. REUTERS

Sources also told us at the time that the couple wanted to remain low-key as they continued to build their relationship. However, Woods went public with their romance just two weeks after we reported they were dating.

“Love is in the air and life is better with you by my side!” the pro golfer captioned a photo of them loved-up together on X. “We look forward to our journey through life together. At this time we would appreciate privacy to all those close to our hearts.”

Vanessa was previously married to President Trump’s son Don Jr., who we’re told is “fully supportive” of his ex-wife. Meanwhile, Woods was previously married to Elin Nordegren. The two divorced in 2010.

James Franco Celebrates Dave Franco’s 40th Birthday in Public Appearance


James Franco stepped out for a rare public appearance to celebrate his brother Dave Franco’s 40th birthday.

James, 47, was photographed with his brother at the 71st Taormina Film Festival in Taormina, Italy, on Wednesday, June 11. Dave stood in front of a birthday cake as his wife, Alison Brie, mom Betsy Franco, James, producer Tiziana Rocca and James’ girlfriend, Izabel Pakzad, stood beside him.

The appearance came nearly one year after James gave one of his first interviews in years, during which he publicly discussed the end of his friendship with former collaborator Seth Rogen.

“I haven’t talked to Seth. I love Seth, we had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me,” he told Variety in October 2024.

Seth, 43, reacted to the comments in a February 11 interview with Esquire, saying, “Honestly, I absorb so little media that it really wasn’t on my radar.”

The outlet reported, “That is all he wants to say about that.”

James and Seth worked together on a number of films through the years, but in 2018, James was accused of sexual misconduct by five women. Four of the women were students of the actor at Studio 4.

One of the women named Sarah Tither-Kaplan claimed James “abused his power by exploiting the non-celebrity women that he worked with under the guise of giving them opportunities,” in an interview with Good Morning America in January 2018.

James denied the allegations. In 2019, two of the students sued the actor in Los Angeles County Superior Court for sexual misconduct, claiming James and his business partners led “widespread inappropriate and sexually charged behavior towards female students by sexualizing their power as a teacher and an employer by dangling the opportunity for roles in their projects.”

Three years later, James agreed to pay $2.2 million to settle the class-action lawsuit.

“While Defendants continue to deny the allegations in the complaint, they acknowledge that Plaintiffs have raised important issues; and all parties strongly believe that now is a critical time to focus on [addressing] the mistreatment of women in Hollywood,” a joint statement released after the settlement said.

James spoke out on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Podcast” in December 2021, months after settling the lawsuit. Though he initially denied the allegations against him, he did admit to sleeping with his students.

Though it only lasted for one season, Freaks and Geeks quickly became a cult favorite — and kicked off the careers of some of Hollywood’s biggest stars. The teen comedy was developed by Judd Apatow and Paul Feig, and premiered on NBC during the fall of 1999. Set in a 1980s Detroit suburb, the series […]

“Over the course of my teaching, I did sleep with students, and that was wrong,” he said. “But like I said, it’s not why I started the school and I wasn’t the person that selected the people to be in the class. So it wasn’t a ‘master plan’ on my part. But yes, there were certain instances where, you know what, I was in a consensual thing with a student and I shouldn’t have been.”

“At the time I was not clearheaded, as I’ve said. So I guess it just comes down to my criteria was like, ‘If this is consensual, like, I think it’s cool. We’re all adults so…’” James added.

Elsewhere in the interview, he went on to say that he has “been doing a lot of work” and “was in recovery before for substance abuse” due to issues “related to addiction.”

At weekend one of Coachella, Teyana Taylor’s designer desert look seemingly showed off her Aaron Pierre pride rock romance and we’re here for it! When this multitalented multihyphenate is seen on the scene, fans can always expect fierce fashion and the body bawwwwwdying. Once again, Teyana didn’t disappoint as a beauty in all black for the exclusive Revolve Festival: The Eighth Annual Fashion, Music and Lifestyle Event.

She reportedly rocked “a Jean Paul Gaultier 3D spiral maxi dress tailored into a two piece set” to show off her super snatched waist. With a matching Miu Miu cowboy hat, the look was a perfect blend of giddyup glam for the exclusive event. Teyana’s accessories included a silver waist chain. Eagle-eye investigators clocked that it appeared to have an “A” initial for Aaron. Now, it also stands for AWW!

Teyana Taylor And Aaron Pierre’s Heart-Eye Hysteria

The A Thousand and One star didn’t have the heartthrob on her arm at the event. However, it looks like the Mufasa morsel was on her mind and her hip. They first sparked romance rumors attending the ABFF Honors together in January. Teyana and Aaron made it official last month when they popped out at the Academy Awards.

The couple kept things quiet after that, but fans suspect that “A” chain is a sign things are going strong. Since then, the baddie has been booked promoting her upcoming film with Leonardo DiCaprio, One Battle After Another, and busy putting her messy divorce to rest. The ink dried on her split from Iman Shumpert a year ago, but she accused him of recently leaking settlement details around the same time she moved on with Aaron.

Tracker’s Eric Graise: What to Know About His Bobby Role Before Absence


Tracker fans were paying close attention to Eric Graise‘s character Bobby — so of course they noticed when he went missing for multiple episodes for no apparent reason.

The hit CBS series, which premiered in February 2024, is centered around a survivalist named Colter (Justin Hartley) who travels the country helping to solve a variety of mysteries. Based on Jeffery Deaver‘s novel The Never Game, Tracker follows Colter week to week as he works on cases with help from Teddi (Robin Weigert), Velma (Abby McEnany), technology genius Bobby (Graise) and personal attorney Reenie (Fiona Rene).

“We do have a running joke though, of how many times Colter has broken the law. Our grips department put together a list and it’s ridiculous. My idea was to have, maybe at the end of season 2, my wrap gift to everyone be a hoodie that lists all of the things that he’s done,” Hartley joked with The Wrap in May 2024. “Like assault, breaking and entering, kidnapping, all that stuff. But it’s a long list already. Every episode, he’s doing something illegal, right?”

It wasn’t Colter’s shenanigans that caught the audience’s attention in season 2. Just as Tracker was in the middle of the season, Graise was nowhere to be found. Instead, Bobby’s cousin Randy (Chris Lee) took over in his place for seven consecutive episodes. Bobby ultimately returned in an April 2025 episode — but not before Graise’s absence sparked online concerns.

Sergei Bachlakov/CBS Justin Hartley‘s hit CBS series Tracker has left a lot of questions unanswered before wrapping up season 2 in early 2025.

“The character was initially written as a very rigid kind of suit and tie type of guy, very posh — and then they met me,” Graise told Ebony in August 2024. “Bobby’s a witty, smart kind of guy. I identify a lot with that. I was excited to bring a little more of myself to the role.”

Graise went on to point out that Bobby was located in Chicago — while he was born in Illinois. “They didn’t even know that,” he added.

Over the years, Graise has discussed having a double leg amputation as a child, telling Ebony in August 2024, “I think what’s fun for me with disabled characters is that I like to see them be a vital part of the story line. But at the same time, it’s the norm … [Bobby is] just like everybody else.”

Graise has been an advocate for representation since being in the public eye. He spoke at the White House during the 25th Anniversary Celebration of the Americans with Disabilities Act event in 2015 alongside Marlee Matlin, Camryn Manheim and Ali Stroker.

“[It’s] been kicking around for three years now. The pilot is basically finished, and I’m working on the story bible right now. It has a lot of backstory to it and tons of family heritage, and I need to know all of that heritage,” he explained at the time. “When I’m writing, I’m writing a character with a disability. I’m not writing the disability, and I’m not writing a character. I’m writing a character with a disability.”

Graise continued: “I think able-bodied writers and actors have a hard time putting the two together. Either they’ll create a character where their whole world is defined by their disability, or they’ll create a character that’s completely devoid of their disability. Neither one is really true to life.”

Graise ultimately returned after a seven-episode absence. “I am taking it one day at a time,” he said in an April 2025 episode. “But I had to come back and fix this mess.”

Paris Jackson confirms Justin Long engagement with proposal photo


Her lonely days are gone.

Months after sparking engagement speculation, Paris Jackson shared a sweet photo of her boyfriend Justin Long’s proposal.

The singer, 26, included the snap in an Instagram roundup Friday celebrating her partner’s birthday.

“happy birthday my sweet blue. doing life with you these last years has been an indescribable whirlwind and i couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me to do it all with,” she gushed in the caption.

“thank you for letting me be yours. i love you.”

Jackson shared multiple PDA pictures in the carousel, from her and Long kissing to her bandmate getting down on one knee.

The couple reportedly began dating in 2022. parisjackson/Instagram

Long proposed in what appeared to be a hotel before — as shown in additional snaps on Jackson’s Instagram Story — she leaned down for a kiss and joined him on the floor for a hug.

Michael Jackson’s daughter also posted a shot of her fiancé placing her engagement ring on her finger.

The bride-to-be was first spotted rocking the jewelry in September but did not address headlines about the relationship milestone at the time.

“I couldn’t dream of anyone more perfect for me,” Michael Jackson’s daughter wrote. parisjackson/Instagram

Paris and Long are believed to have been together since 2022.

The model was previously linked to singer Gabriel Glenn, composer Michael Snoddy and more artists.

She publicly came out as bisexual in 2018 before clarifying two years later that there was not a “label for [her] sexuality that fits.”

“Labels in general, not just for sexuality but for everything, I think, are just ways for humans to make sense of the world, to be able to compartmentalize,” she explained to People in 2020. “We’re getting past the need for labels. It’s beautiful.”

Paris elaborated on this in an “Unfiltered” episode on Facebook Watch.

“I’ve dated more than just men and women,” she said. “It has nothing to do with what’s in your pants. It has nothing to do with what your XY chromosome makeup is, it’s literally just what are you like as a person.”

It’s been 15 years since Michael Jackson’s shocking death at age 50 on June 25, 2009. Although the years that followed were hard on the singer’s three children, a source exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly that Jackson would be proud of where his kids are today. “Some people could let nepotism […]

Paris shared 14 photos with Long, along with one of her bandmate on bended knee and proposing with a large solitaire diamond ring. Paris dropped to her own knees to seal the deal with a sweet kiss.

Paris reposted the same photos via her Instagram Story with the caption, “Bday ❤️.”

Paris and Long have reportedly been an item since June 2022.

An accomplished musician in her own right, Paris is the only daughter of late pop icon Micheal. The King of Pop, who died in 2009 at age 50, was also the father of sons Prince, 27, and Bigi, 22.

“He would have been 65 years old today,” Paris wrote via Instagram in August 2023. “And he put 50 years of blood, sweat and tears and love and passion into doing what he did, so that I can stand up here on stage in front of you and scream into a microphone. So I owe everything to him.”

Paris, whom Michael shared with ex-wife Debbie Rowe, was only 11 years old when her father died.

“They always say, ‘Time heals.’ But it really doesn’t. You just get used to it,” Paris previously told Rolling Stone in 2017 of dealing with Michael’s death. “I live life with the mentality of ‘OK, I lost the only thing that has ever been important to me.’ So going forward, anything bad that happens can’t be nearly as bad as what happened before. So I can handle it.”

She added at the time, “I feel him with me all the time.”

Before Paris found love with Long, she dated the likes of Michael Snoddy and Gabriel Glenn. Paris and Glenn, who were previously bandmates in The Soundflowers, split in August 2020 after two years together.

“A big thing for Aries is we are very impatient,” Paris said during the 2020 finale of the then-couple’s eponymous Facebook Watch series, alluding to the split. “[With] the people that we love and things that we care about, we have the patience of a saint. But it’s a very interesting dynamic. … I’ve always known I was stubborn, and I knew that he was stubborn because he’s a Taurus.”
