Shannon Elizabeth, the 52-year-old actress best known for her breakout role as Nadia in 1999’s American Pie, has launched an OnlyFans account and quietly filed for divorce from husband Simon Borchert days before the platform debut, multiple outlets reported April 16-17, 2026. In interviews with People and other outlets Elizabeth said she is using OnlyFans to “take back control” of her narrative, connect directly with fans and “show off a more sexy side no one has seen.” Sources told People the divorce filing took place “in the last few days” and described the split as “rather fresh.” Elizabeth and Borchert, a South African conservation specialist who worked with her Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, married in 2021. Elizabeth, who now lives in South Africa and has spent recent years on wildlife conservation, said she felt Hollywood had controlled the course of her career and that OnlyFans offers creative and commercial independence. She has signalled a new personal chapter by changing social media relationship status and began offering subscriptions to her page on April 16, 2026.

Victoria Beckham has publicly addressed the ongoing rift with her eldest son for the first time, in an interview with WSJ Magazine published on April 16, 2026. Without naming him, the former Spice Girl and fashion designer said she and husband Sir David Beckham “love our children so much” and have “always tried to be the best parents that we can be,” adding that their priority has been to protect their family during more than 30 years in the public eye. The comments follow a lengthy January Instagram statement by Brooklyn Peltz Beckham accusing his parents of trying to “ruin” his relationship with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham and of prioritising “Brand Beckham.” Brooklyn alleged episodes including a disputed wedding dance, a last-minute withdrawal from making a bridal dress, and pressure to sign away rights to his name. David Beckham previously commented on social media’s power in January; outlets report Victoria was later seen celebrating her 52nd birthday in Miami as coverage intensified.

At CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 16-17, 2026, Marvel Studios premiered the first full trailer for Avengers: Doomsday to an audience of theatre owners. Robert Downey Jr. was revealed in full as Doctor Doom and shared the stage with returning Chris Evans, while Kevin Feige and directors Anthony and Joe Russo introduced extended footage that interweaves Avengers, X‑Men, the Fantastic Four and other MCU properties. Key moments shown included Professor Xavier reacting to a catastrophic event, Thor charging at Doom (who stops Stormbreaker with his hand), Mystique battling Yelena Belova, Gambit facing Shang‑Chi, and Steve Rogers dramatically returning and summoning Mjolnir. The film is scheduled for release on Dec. 18, 2026 — the same day as Dune: Part III — setting up a potential box‑office clash. Disney also announced Infinity: Vision, a new premium‑screen certification, tied to Endgame’s rerelease and Doomsday’s rollout. The trailer was initially exclusive to exhibitors and has not been widely released online.

Jon Favreau unveiled the final trailer and screened roughly the first 17 minutes of The Mandalorian and Grogu at CinemaCon in Las Vegas this week, offering a substantial early look at the film ahead of its May 22 theatrical release. The feature continues the Disney+ series story, casting Pedro Pascal as Din Djarin and Grogu as his apprentice; Sigourney Weaver appears as New Republic colonel Ward and Jeremy Allen White provides the voice of Rotta the Hutt. Favreau wrote the story with Dave Filoni, who has taken a larger creative role at Lucasfilm, and Ludwig Göransson composed the score. Early footage shown at the convention opens with an assault on scattered Imperial warlords, action aboard AT-AT-style walkers, and moments of Grogu using the Force. Deadline said the film includes over 49 minutes of expanded-aspect-ratio sequences for IMAX and other large formats; tickets go on sale immediately. Coverage of the CinemaCon presentation noted strong fan applause and curiosity about whether the theatrical return will reinvigorate the Star Wars franchise, while some early reviewers offered mixed reactions to the footage.

Jack Schlossberg, the 33-year-old grandson of President John F. Kennedy and a Democratic candidate in a Manhattan congressional primary, said he showed his mother Caroline Kennedy a clip from Ryan Murphy’s FX/Hulu series Love Story and they 'laughed so hard' at her dramatized portrayal. Speaking on Katie Couric’s Next Question podcast (recorded April 15), Schlossberg reiterated his long-standing criticism that the series is fictionalized and sensationalizes the private lives of his family. He mocked costume choices for his father Edwin Schlossberg and called the program a 'stupid show' while adding he has no problem with viewers who enjoyed it. Schlossberg has previously labelled the series a 'grotesque display' and urged that profits might be donated to causes associated with his late uncle, JFK Jr., such as the JFK Library. Love Story — which stars Paul Anthony Kelly and Sarah Pidgeon as John F. Kennedy Jr. and Carolyn Bessette, with Grace Gummer and Ben Shenkman as Caroline and Edwin — revisits the couple’s romance and their 1999 deaths in a plane crash, and has prompted public pushback from several real-life figures depicted in the drama.
