Scott Hoying and Mark's Heartfelt Journey to Parenthood Captivates Fans

Scott Hoying and his husband, Mark Hoying, are celebrating the birth of their daughter via surrogate. “SHE’S HERE! WE’RE DADS! �� Our baby’s name is… ��,” the Pentatonix singer, 34, and Titanique producer, 35, captioned their joint Instagram post on Tuesday, June 23, revealing they decided on the name Birdie James after singing about the many monikers they considered. “She was born on June 3 and was given a name that is near and dear to their hearts,” Scott told People. “The first song I ever learned to sing when I was a little, little kid was ‘Put On a Happy Face,’ from Bye Bye Birdie.” The performer also noted that Mark's middle name is James, adding, “We wanted something that was musical, but not too on the nose. And we also just loved that it felt... Feels like it could work at any age.” Scott and Mark said they are over the moon that their bundle of joy has arrived months after Scott’s sister Lauren volunteered to be their egg donor. “I literally cannot believe how selfless she is. She was so passionate about doing it,” Scott gushed of his sister and about how he’ll be forever appreciative of her sacrifice. “I love my sister so much, and I cannot thank her enough for giving the gift of life.” Scott reflected on his life journey, revealing that he feels blessed to have found love and now be able to embark on the new chapter of parenthood alongside Mark. They previously released a gender reveal video in January, singing about what their child could be like in the future before confirming they were expecting a baby girl. Prior to welcoming a baby girl, the couple exchanged vows in July 2023 at the Ritz-Carlton Bacara in Santa Barbara, California. Their ceremony took place more than one year after Scott proposed in the Bahamas in April 2022. “It really was beautiful. It was this overwhelming flashback of all these memories growing up and being like, ‘Am I going to find love? Is gay marriage going to be legal? Am I going to be able to have a kid?’” Scott shared of his journey to parenthood, revealing, “The process of us having a child took four or five years.” Scott said he was overcome with emotions while meeting their daughter, admitting, “It's been a long time coming and just looking at her, I started crying because it was just such a beautiful thing that I feel really, really lucky.”

Sarah Shahi's Surprising Revelation About James Gandolfini's Kiss New

Sarah Shahi's Surprising Revelation About James Gandolfini's Kiss

Sarah Shahi reflected on her memorable connection with James Gandolfini while guest starring on an episode of The Sopranos. “I did a sex scene with Tony Soprano,” she said on the Thursday, June 18, episode of “The Bossticks” podcast, referencing Gandolfini’s lead character on the HBO crime drama. “One of the best, I have to say, kisses I’ve ever had.” Shahi, 46, expanded on her one-episode Sopranos appearance in 2007 as Sonya during the podcast, telling hosts Lauryn and Michael Bosstick about the sex scene she shared with her late former costar. (Gandolfini died at age 51 after a heart attack in 2013, six years after The Sopranos ended.) “I remember thinking to myself, like, how am I going to get turned on by this 47-year-old large balding man? Like, there's nothing. How is this going to work for me?” she said of her time working on “Kennedy and Heidi,” an Emmy award-winning episode of the series. “But oh boy, did it work for me.” The Sex/Life star, who is currently single after splitting from Sex/Life costar Adam Demos earlier this year, added that she was instructed to sit on Gandolfini’s lap during the intimate scene. “Then we have to kiss, and when they called ‘cut,’ we were still kissing,” she said. "We did it three, four times, and every time, they would call ‘cut’ and we're still f---ing making out.” Shahi also spoke candidly about Gandolfini’s presence on the show’s set. “He was incredible. He was a very troubled man, but the crew loved him,” she recalled, adding that despite the brief nature of her Sopranos stint, she personally faced the impact of the actor’s troubles, which included alcohol and drug addiction. After Gandolfini failed to show up on set on their first day of shooting together, Shahi said he elaborately acknowledged his misstep. “I went back to my hotel room and he sent me a dozen roses with a note saying, like, 'Sorry about today. Don't be nervous because I suck. Love, the fat man,’” she recalled. When Shahi did meet Gandolfini, she said he was “larger than life” and recalled “trying to match his energy” by joking that she would've preferred “Jimmy Choo [shoes], size seven” to flowers. A pair of those exact shoes were sent by Gandolfini to Shahi’s hotel room that night. Gandolfini’s death occurred in Rome, Italy, on June 19, 2013, while he was traveling with wife Deborah Lin, their two children and other family members. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that he and his family were staying at Rome’s five-star Boscolo Exedra hotel when he suffered a fatal heart attack in his room. It was reported that his son, Michael, who was 13 at the time, first alerted hotel staff about the medical emergency.

Zohran Mamdani's Influence Grows as Socialist Allies Sweep NY Races

A slew of far-lefties backed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani are surging and defeating moderate incumbents in several high-profile races Tuesday.Former comptroller Brad Lander won speedily, the race was called by the AP just 7 minutes after polls close. On CNN after the news broke, Lander called for a complete reevaluation of the US-Israel relationshipZohran Mamdani’s mentee Claire Valdez was set to best the Democratic establishment’s lefty favorite Antonio Reynoso in a big win for the mayor’s socialist staying power.Congressional and state chamber seats are up for grabs while frustrated Big Apple voters are fed up with Democratic leaders — and want to clean house, according to a stinging pre-election survey.Polls are now closed.Follow live updates on New York’s primary election for news and results from races across the city and state:Mamdani-backed NY State Senate candidate who downplayed 9/11 wins Queens primary By Vaughn Golden Aber Kawas -- the DSA member and Mamdani-backed candidate who once described 9/11 as a terror attack that a “couple people did" -- cinched the Democratic nomination to rep a western Queens based state senate district Tuesday night.Kawas, a self-described “Muslim civil right advocate,” won with 60% of the vote in her primary race against Assemblyman Steven Raga (D-Queens) to replace outgoing state Sen. Mike Gianaris (D-Queens) with 95% of precincts reporting.Kawas has also been listed as a speaker for CAIR, a controversial Muslim charity accused of Hamas links.While Gianaris, who held a significant amount of power as deputy majority leader and chair of Senate Democrats’ campaign arm in Albany, made endorsements in several other primary races, he did not weigh in on his chosen successor.Mamdani-backed lefties sweep in NYC congressional primaries – as socialist mayor’s influence grows to DC By Craig McCarthy , Matt Troutman and Marie Pohl The Zo-mentum is real.Socialist Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s far-left slate of Big Apple congressional hopefuls prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary – with firebrand Darializa Avila Chevalier projected to pull off an AOC-style upset.Former city Comptroller Brad Lander and state Assemblywoman Claire Valdez were quickly projected by the Associated Press and NY1 to win over their establishment Democrat opponents.Avila Chevalier held a razor-thin 49.3% to 46% lead over Rep. Adriano Espaillat with 86% of votes counted late Tuesday, leading the five-term incumbent to concede.READ MORE'We have declared that this movement is durable,' says Valdez in victory speechClaire Valdez lauded the efforts of the Democratic Socialists of America, declaring the far-left group has created a "durable" movement in her victory speech."We haven't just won an election, we have declared that this movement is durable that is growing," the rookie lawmaker said. "And that it will not stop until working people are no longer asked to build the table and go out today, the information on the table."Valdez vowed to lead the fight against ICE, vowing "in me they will have a champion" and continue to fight for Palestinian "liberation." "We'll use our money to save lives here instead of destroy them abroad," she said. Valdez received the nomination in NY-7, beating out establishment pick with Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso. Trump dunks on his old foes in their failed bids for House seats By Craig McCarthy President Trump skewered a pair of his old foes after Dan Goldman and George Conway lose their bids for New York Congressional seats. The incumbent Goldman lost Tuesday to Brad Lander in the NY-10 race. Conway, whose now ex-wife Kellyanne worked in the first Trump administration, failed to crack double digits in the crowded field for NY-12 seat.President Trump-backed candidate defeats NY GOP opponent in race to replace Stefanik By Vaughn Golden President Trump-backed Anthony Constantino bested the New York Republican Party's endorsed candidate in a race for upstate Rep. Elise Stefanik’s House seat.The Associated Press called the race in Constantino's favor Tuesday evening with the Amsterdam-based stick company CEO garnering 58% of the vote as of 77% of precincts reporting Tuesday.The race played against the backdrop of Stefanik, a staunch Trump ally, ending both her bid to become New York’s next governor and re-election for Congress.The state’s GOP establishment had lined up behind Smullen, who received the endorsement of state party Chairman Ed Cox and the majority of Republican and Conservative committees in his district.But Smullen’s path to victory was complicated by Trump’s blockbuster endorsement of Constantino, an eccentric upstate entrepreneur. “Anthony is strongly supported by many of our most Highly Respected MAGA warriors in our movement, including Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Roger Stone!” Trump wrote on TruthSocial in April, sending out another message of support just before Tuesday's election.Smullen, for his part, had accused Stone – a Trump operative and Constantino – of duping the president into the endorsement.“A consultant got to the president, someone who is being paid by my opponent, and I think the president’s made a mistake,” Smullen said.Mamdani hugs DSA assemblywoman as crowd chants 'Free Free Palestine' By Hannah Fierick Mayor Mamdani hugged Assemblywoman Emily Gallagher at Claire Valdez's party.Rep.

Jerry Nadler's NY-12 seat in AI-dominated race By Haley Brown Micah Lasher won the Democratic primary in New York's 12th Congressional District, defeating state Assembly Member Alex Bores in a race that became a national battleground over artificial intelligence, according to early vote tallies.Micah Lasher won the Democratic primary in New York's 12th Congressional District. AP Photo/Yuki IwamuraLasher, who represents the Upper West Side's 69th Assembly District, had 39% of the vote when the Associated Press called the race for him at 10:08 p.m. with 85% of votes counted. Bores had around 35% of the vote, followed by Jack Kennedy Schlossberg, former President John F. Kennedy's grandson, with close to 11%.Lasher had the backing of the Democratic establishment, including outgoing Rep. Jerry Nadler, who endorsed him Feb. 9 after announcing his retirement after 34 years in office.Bores narrowly lost the race that became a battleground over AI. AP Photo/Yuki IwamuraBores, representing the Upper East Side's 73rd Assembly District, had entered as the early fundraising frontrunner, raising $2.2 million by early 2026 -- more than three times Lasher's initial haul -- though nearly half his money came from California, according to City & State. The flood of outside cash that defined the race traced back to Bores's support of the RAISE Act, one of the nation's toughest AI safety laws, passed by the New York Legislature in a bipartisan vote. Critics of the legislation, poured millions into attack ads against Bores while supporters committed millions more to keep his campaign afloat. In the end, nearly 50% of all AI-focused super PAC spending nationally this cycle was directed at this single Manhattan race, according to The Guardian. Jack Schlossberg, grandson of former President John F. Kennedy, came in a distant third.

Lasher will be heavily favored in the November general election in a district that has not elected a Republican to Congress in decades.Trump-backed Republican Michael Lipetri set to face Dem LI Rep. Tom Suozzi By Carl Campanile President Trump-backed Republican Michael LiPetri won a hard fought GOP primary over Rudy Giuliani-endorsed insurgent Greg Hach to take on Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi in New York's swing Third House District covering parts of Nassau County and Queens.It was a rare split between Trump and ex-Big Apple mayor Giuliani, a longtime pal of the president who served as his personal lawyer.The Nassau County Republican Party and GOP gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman strongly backed LiPetri, a former state assemblyman who lost to Suozzi by only 3 percentage points in 2024,  when he was the Republican nominee.LiPetri had the support of President Trump. AP Photo/Matt RourkeLiPetri ended up with more than 81% of the vote, according to the Associated Press, which called the race for him at around 10 p.m.In a sign that the race was competitive, Vice President JD Vance parachuted in for a Long Island event last week where he trashed Suozzi and lauded Lipetri at what was billed as a government, not campaign, event.Hach, 55, a successful attorney and Air Force veteran, poured $1 million of his own money into the primary campaign. He vowed to plow more of his fortune into the race if elected the Republican nominee.Suozzi, 63, a former Nassau County executive, is slightly favored to win re-election during a mid-term general election with Republican Trump, who has sagging popularity in New York, at the helm in the White House.LiPetri will face off against Democratic incumbent Tom Suozzi (pictured) in November. Kyle Mazza - CNP for NY PostHe quit Congress to mount a failing primary campaign for governor against fellow Democrat Kathy Hochul in 2022.But Suozzi won back the seat in House District 3 in a special election following the expulsion of Republican Rep.

Mackenzie Shirilla's Case Gains Attention After Ohio Supreme Court Decision New

Mackenzie Shirilla's Case Gains Attention After Ohio Supreme Court Decision

The Ohio Supreme Court declined a request to review Mackenzie Shirilla’s post-conviction appeals after she killed her boyfriend, Dominic Russo, and friend Davion Flanagan in a fatal car crash. Shirilla, 21, was found guilty of murder in 2023 following the deaths of Russo, 20, and Flanagan, 19, in July 2022. She was sentenced to two terms of 15 years to life in prison after prosecutors argued that she intentionally killed the two victims. In the recent filing, Shirilla’s lawyers said they requested the review due to a calendar mistake. Her attorneys missed the deadline to file a post-conviction challenge by one day, according to court documents viewed by Us Weekly. However, the legal team argued that they missed the deadline because they didn’t take into account that 2024 was a leap year. The Ohio Supreme Court announced on Tuesday, June 23, that they would not review the case due to the late filing and the fact “that the trial court correctly determined it was without jurisdiction to consider the petition,” according to Cleveland 19. Ohio law states that convicted defendants typically have 365 days after their trial transcripts are filed to challenge their conviction. Shirilla’s trial transcripts were submitted on October 23, 2023, meaning that the October 24, 2024, filing was more than 365 days later. Shirilla’s new attorneys filed another appeal with the Ohio Supreme Court on April 27, 2026, in which they argued that the deadline should be later because a separate transcript was filed weeks after the October 2023 record. The attorneys also argued that Shirilla would have been acquitted if she had received effective assistance of counsel during her trial. While explaining their decision, the Ohio Supreme Court pointed to jurisdiction and said that Shirilla’s lawyer’s arguments did not meet exceptions in order for them to conduct a review. In light of the conclusion, Justices said that the trial court lacked the authority to excuse the delay in the filing. Shirilla is currently in custody at Ohio Reformatory for Women and her first parole hearing is scheduled for 2037. Her case has gained renewed attention after she was featured in Netflix’s May documentary The Crash. In the documentary, Shirilla expressed remorse for the killings and insisted she never intended to kill Russo and Flanagan. Shirilla also speculated in the documentary that her diagnosed medical condition, particularly postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), caused the crash. POTS “is a condition that causes a number of symptoms when you transition from lying down to standing up, such as a fast heart rate, dizziness and fatigue,” according to the Cleveland Clinic. “While there’s no cure, several treatments and lifestyle changes can help manage the symptoms of POTS.”

John Mayer and Kat Stickler's Surprise Split: What Really Happened? New

John Mayer and Kat Stickler's Surprise Split: What Really Happened?

John Mayer and influencer Kat Stickler’s brief romance has come to an end. A source exclusively tells Us Weekly that the pair “are no longer seeing each other and split a few months ago.” The insider adds that Mayer, 48, and Stickler, 31, were “never going to be a serious thing.” “It wasn’t a dramatic split, the relationship just fizzled out,” the source shares. “They realized they have very different lifestyles but it was a lot of fun while it lasted and are still friends.” The insider adds that the content creator, who is a mom, is both protective and intentional when it comes to bringing around a man to meet her daughter. “Kat was always hesitant bringing her daughter around someone she was dating and both of their busy schedules made it hard to navigate,” the source says. Us Weekly has reached out to Mayer and Stickler’s reps for comment. The pair were first spotted dining together in New York City in October 2025. Later that month, Us reported that Mayer and Stickler were dating after he “sought her out and pursued her.” “Kat just broke up with someone she had been dating for a few months and thought it would be fun to date again, and was interested in John,” a source shared with Us at the time. The insider explained that Mayer and Stickler’s relationship is “still very new,” but the pair had been out and about together on a few occasions. “He has been actively pursuing her, inviting her places and texting her often,” the source shared. “She is interested and seeing where it goes.” The insider noted that Stickler “doesn’t think this will be a serious relationship,” but said she is “having fun.” In December 2025, a source shared that Mayer is “at a point in his life where he is ready to settle down and is looking to seriously date.” The insider explained that Mayer and Stickler are “getting serious.” “They both are funny and have a great sense of humor and their personalities are a good match,” the source added. Stickler had previously been in a relationship with a mystery man after her split from Bachelor Nation’s Jason Tartick in October 2024. She was married to ex-husband Mike Stickler, with whom she shares daughter MK, for two years before their 2021 split. Mayer, for his part, has been romantically linked to several famous celebrities through the years, including Jennifer Aniston, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift.

Vatican's Rejection of German Bishops' Lay Preacher Request Sparks Tension New

Vatican's Rejection of German Bishops' Lay Preacher Request Sparks Tension

The Vatican shut down German bishops’ bid to allow lay preachers at Mass, drawing scrutiny over ongoing tensions between Rome and the progressive European country.The Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline for the Sacraments announced Tuesday it had denied the German Bishops’ Conference’s March request to allow lay people to deliver a homily during Mass, even in exceptional circumstances.Sent to Bishop Heiner Wilmer, the president of the German Bishops’ Conference, the Vatican’s June 17 letter said it is “not possible to grant the indult requested” by the bishops, the dicastery’s press release wrote. An indult is a special permission in the Church granted by appropriate authority that allows for exceptions to the canon law.

JUST IN: The Vatican has rejected the German bishops’ request for lay people to preach at Mass This is bc “the reservation of the homily to a priest or deacon is not a mere disciplinary norm but derives from the very nature of the liturgy” pic.twitter.com/M57guOpXyC — Michael Haynes 🇻🇦 (@MLJHaynes) June 23, 2026The German bishops had requested in March that “in exceptional circumstances, a duly commissioned lay member of the faithful to preach in place of the homily during the celebration of the Eucharist.”The Vatican stressed that the homily, delivered after readings from the Bible, is part of the liturgy of the Mass and “represents an exercise of the munus docendi entrusted to ordained ministers through the sacrament of holy orders.”“This norm has been repeatedly confirmed by the Magisterium, especially in the instruction Redemptionis Sacramentum (nos. 64-66), which expressly excludes the possibility that lay faithful may give the homily during the celebration of Mass, even under another designation,” the letter stated.The Church’s Code of Canon law states that, while “lay persons can be permitted to preach in a church or oratory” in special circumstances, the homily “is part of the liturgy itself and is reserved to a priest or deacon.”The German bishops’ bid for lay preachers builds on years of tensions between the German church and the Vatican. Since German bishops launched a reform convention called the “German Synodal Way” in 2019, the Vatican has repeatedly warned that the bishops’ actions are a “threat to the unity of the Church.”Participants in the German synod have voted in favor of female priests, blessings of same-sex marriages, and changes to the Church’s teaching on homosexual acts. (RELATED: Italian Archbishop Sparks Backlash After Surprise Mass In Milan’s Gay District)Pope Leo reiterated the Vatican’s rejection of the German church’s blessing of homosexual couples in April, saying, “The Holy See has made it clear that we do not agree with the formalized blessing of [same-sex] couples, […] beyond what was specifically, if you will, allowed for by Pope Francis.”The bishops’ request to permit lay homilies originated in a March German Synodal Way resolution, the Pillar reported.The German Bishops’ Conference released a press statement Tuesday but did not indicate a particular response from the bishops.
