Pop star Pink spent New Year’s Eve in the hospital. On Dec. 31, the 46-year-old posted a photo of herself in a hospital bed with a bandage on her neck. “I end the year giving reverence to, paying attention to, and to fixing my body,” the So What singer wrote in a caption, adding that she was leaving all of her “hurt” behind in 2025. “It may not be a fancy Face lift, but I am getting two new shiny discs in my neck,” she wrote to explain the hospital visit. Earlier this year, the Grammy winner, whose real name is Alecia Beth Moore, shared that she had contracted E. coli bacteria while on vacation and posted a photo of herself with an IV drip in her arm. In 2023, she postponed shows because of a respiratory infection and a sinus infection. The singer used her New Year’s Instagram post to say she is thankful that she got the “business of loving my children and helping them to follow their dreams.” Pink shares daughter Willow Sage and son Jameson Moon with her husband, Carey Hart. “Let’s do better for ourselves and for others,” the singer wished her fans in the new year.

Katie Miller rang in the New Year by announcing she is pregnant with her fourth child. The 34-year-old posted a photo on X on New Year’s Eve showing her with husband White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, 40, at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago party, resting a hand on her stomach. Katie Miller, who earlier this year served as an advisor for the now‑disbanded Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) under Elon Musk and is now the host of her eponymous podcast, married her husband in February 2020 at the Trump Hotel in Washington, D.C. The couple had a daughter later that year, followed by two sons in 2022 and 2023. In August, the soon-to-be mother of four told The Washington Post that she often stays up working until 1 a.m. and gets up at 6 a.m. to care for her children. “That’s what it means to be a career-minded woman,” she said. “It means you can do it all if you choose to do it.” The Mar-a-Lago party where Miller announced her pregnancy included guests such as the president, Eric and Lara Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and various conservative media figures.

George Clooney has fired back at Donald Trump after the president posted a nasty rant about the star actor and his wife on New Year’s Eve. Clooney, 64, told Deadline: “I totally agree with the current president. We have to make America great again. We’ll start in November.” Clooney is referring to the 2026 midterms, which are now just 11 months away—an election that early polls suggest will knock Republicans out of power in Congress, where they currently hold slim majorities in the House and Senate. Clooney’s response was much more subtle than the 79-year-old Trump’s fiery post to Truth Social. “Good News! George and Amal Clooney, two of the worst political prognosticators of all time, have officially become citizens of France, which is, sadly, in the midst of a major crime problem because of their absolutely horrendous handling of immigration, much like we had under Sleepy Joe Biden,” Trump posted in part. The president added, “Clooney got more publicity for politics than he did for his very few, and totally mediocre, movies. He wasn’t a movie star at all, he was just an average guy who complained, constantly, about common sense in politics. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

President Donald Trump’s staff is begging him to keep his eyes open while the cameras are rolling, an insider tells the Wall Street Journal. White House aides are reportedly “fearing the optics of his appearing to fall asleep.” If that’s the case, their fears are becoming reality, as Trump, 79, has routinely dozed off at public events in recent months—though he maintains that he is just giving his eyes a rest, not sleeping. “I’ll just close. It’s very relaxing to me,” Trump has said of shutting his eyes. “Sometimes they’ll take a picture of me blinking, blinking, and they’ll catch me with the blink.” Critics are not buying that line. Cameras have captured Trump with his eyes closed for an extended period on multiple occasions, including at a Cabinet meeting last month. The issue has become so serious, administration officials tell the Journal that White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles has “urged cabinet members to shorten their presentations” so the president does not become bored and doze off. Trump has long boasted that he requires little sleep to get by. His public snoozing has not changed his habits, the Journal reports, as he still requires at least one staff member to stay up with him on Air Force One while others sleep.

The series finale of one of Netflix’s biggest shows was met with complications when it finally dropped Wednesday night. The final episode of Stranger Things aired as scheduled at 8 p.m. ET on December 31, but some users encountered an error message that read, “Something went wrong. Sorry, we’re having trouble with your request. You’ll find lots to explore on the home page.” According to Variety, the site crashed for about a minute—shorter than the outage on Nov. 26, when the platform went down for roughly five minutes after the series’ fifth season premiered, debuting with 59.6 million views and marking Netflix’s biggest-ever opening week for an English-language title. The crash prompted some fans to take to X to express their frustration. “NETFLIX CRASHED PLS LET ME IN I DO NOT HAVE NEW YEARS PLANS #StrangerThings,” one user posted. “My Netflix has crashed twice already three mins into the stranger things finale,” another wrote. While some users experienced issues on the site, others watched the highly anticipated finale, the last episode ever of the series, as it aired in more than 620 theaters across the U.S. and Canada on Dec. 31 and Jan. 1, an event that drew 1.1 million RSVPs, according to co-creator Ross Duffer.

Police say a packed New Year’s Eve party turned deadly after a blaze and explosion tore through a bar, leaving several dozen people feared killed and around 100 badly hurt. The fire broke out around 1:30 a.m. local time at Le Constellation, a nightlife spot in the Swiss ski resort town of Crans-Montana, Switzerland, according to the BBC. Authorities have not released a confirmed death toll, though multiple officials cited in media reports put the figure at around 40, with many victims suffering severe burns that could slow identification. Investigators are examining whether party pyrotechnics or an open flame ignited the venue’s ceiling, after officials said there was no indication of an attack. Emergency crews deployed helicopters and dozens of ambulances as hospitals filled up.

The hit Canadian television series Heated Rivalry has not only taken over the internet, it also managed to consume CNN’s New Year’s Eve broadcast. Hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper both mentioned the show multiple times throughout the broadcast, including during a discussion about which of them would be Ilya Rozanov, the Russian hockey sensation played by Connor Storrie, and who would be Shane Hollander, his Canadian counterpart. During an interview with singer Brandi Carlile, they asked if lesbians cared about the show. (Her answer: “It’s all I can think about.”) The undisputed highlight, however, came during their interview with Stephen Colbert. Cohen joked about Colbert’s wife, Evie, being the top in their relationship, to which Colbert fired back, “But I’m a bossy bottom.” Cooper, completely unprepared for this response, quickly lost his composure, turning to Cohen and asking, “Has Heated Rivalry made everybody insane? Is this a Heated Rivalry effect?” before adding, “If Stephen Colbert starts talking in Russian to me, I’m going to fall,“ a reference to Storrie’s Rozanov. Heated Rivalry, which aired its finale on Dec. 26, has already been renewed for a second season, which is expected to arrive in 2027.

Over three dozen young men in South Africa have died after taking part in circumcision initiation ceremonies. South African authorities reported that the men died in November and December after having their foreskins removed as part of an initiation ritual into manhood. In Xhosa, Ndebele, Sotho, and Venda ethnic groups, young men aged 16 and up are placed into initiation schools that teach them the responsibilities of adulthood. Circumcision is performed on men as part of the curriculum. 41 men died after having the procedure done with a dirty scalpel, leading to them contracting gangrene or sepsis, according to TMZ. South Africa’s Traditional Affairs Minister, Velenkosini Hlabisa, blamed the deaths on negligence from both the schools and parents. “There is negligence in terms of meeting health standards in some of the initiation schools. If you take your child to an initiation school, you never make a follow-up, you do not monitor, you do not go there to see whether the child does drink water, you are placing your child at risk,” he said.

Actress Amy Schumer has sold her New York City home amid her ongoing divorce from husband Chris Fischer. The Brooklyn Heights brownstone was also one of the settings for Nicolas Cage and Cher’s 1987 movie, Moonstruck. Despite its famous origins and well-known current owners, the house was sold at a loss. According to Realtor.com, Schumer managed to sell the refurbished property for $11 million, $1.25 million less than what the actress and her soon-to-be ex-husband paid in 2022, and $3 million below the asking price. The house, built in 1829, boasts five bedrooms, a wine cellar, a gym, and a private backyard. The couple sold their home a day before Schumer announced, in an unhinged Instagram post, that she and Fischer are parting ways. Its closing price only became official at the end of December. Schumer, 44, said that she and Fischer, 45, “made the difficult decision” to end their marriage after seven years. Fischer, a chef, will continue to co-parent their son, according to a report in Page Six. “We love each other very much and will continue to focus on raising our son,” Schumer told fans. She also told the Wall Street Journal that they decided to sell the house to be closer to their 6-year-old son’s school in Manhattan.

Veteran actor and darling of the MAGA movement Mel Gibson and his longtime partner, screenwriter Rosalind Ross, have split after nine years together. “Although it’s sad to end this chapter in our lives, we are blessed with a beautiful son and will continue to be the best parents possible,” the couple told PEOPLE in a joint statement. Sources told People that the pair, who share an eight-year-old son Lars, quietly parted ways roughly a year ago. Gibson, 69, whose career has spanned decades with roles in major franchises and acclaimed directorial work, will now continue raising Lars alongside Ross. The pair first connected in 2014, welcoming their child just prior to Gibson’s Academy Award nomination for Hacksaw Ridge. Gibson is a noted supporter of President Donald Trump, who appointed him earlier this year as a “special ambassador” to Hollywood, a role invented under the guise of strengthening U.S. film industry.
