Jenna Ortega's 2025 Met Gala Dress Was Literally Made to Measure
'A poetical ode to couture and craftsmanship, her sleek sheath dress is crafted entirely from the metallic rulers used by pattern makers, placed vertically along the body to enhance the silhouette to create a bustier gown sculpted on her body,' Balmain explained in a statement. Ortega completed the look with a smoky eye, understated silver jewelry, and a perfectly crisp french manicure. Fresh off her dark comedy film, Death of a Unicorn, the actress fully embodied Balmain's edgy but humorous spirit.
This is Ortega's third Met Gala appearance. The Wednesday star first made her fashionable debut in 2022 for 'In America: An Anthology of Fashion,' and returned in 2023 for 'Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty,' wowing both times in custom Valentino and Thom Browne, respectively.

Following last night's event, the actress made a quick change into a tuxedo body suit with exaggerated padded shoulders. Ortega stepped out hand-in-hand with Sabrina Carpenter, who had also switched into a simple suit paired with a skinny tie, oversized canary-yellow jacket, and a matching Louis Vuitton Speedy. The duo made the trip downtown to attend A$AP Rocky's party at Jeans in SoHo, alongside Rihanna and A$AP's grandmother, making the evening a family affair.

WWE via Getty Images Advertisement Not long before Hogan's passing, Hart — a longtime manager and close friend — had publicly insisted the WWE Hall of Famer was doing better than had been reported. 'He was great,' The 'Mouth of the South' told People on Friday about seeing Hogan for the final time about a month ago. 'He had great food to eat that night. He was talking with the fans. He was just phenomenal.' Hart revealed his shock when he learned of the wrestling icon's passing. Advertisement 'I called [Hogan] on Wednesday night, and then Thursday morning is when everything took place,' Hart said Friday. 'So just…just overnight it all happened, but it was so positive the day before.' Hart added that when he called Hogan this week, he didn't get to speak to him.

Getty Images Instead, he spoke with Hogan's assistant, who merely sent a message saying that the former six-time WWE Champion was 'doing great.' Advertisement 'Well, tell him I love him,' Hart said he told Hogan's assistant. He indicated that he felt encouraged by the response, thinking 'this is great' news, People reported. 'It just hits so fast,' Hart said about his reaction upon learning of Hogan's death. 'It was like, 'Oh my God.' We thought he was doing so well, you know? We didn't go to see him at the house and didn't go to see him at the hospital, because we wanted to make sure that he didn't get any infections or anything else, like if anybody had a cold or brought anything in. So, that's what we all did.' Hart had a decades-long friendship with Hogan, going back to their early Memphis days through WWE and later WCW and TNA. Advertisement Hogan, a 12-time world champion — six in the WWE and six in WCE — was a two-time WWE Hall of Famer, being inducted in 2005 as an individual and in 2020 as a member of the New World Order. Hart was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005 and is regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestling managers of all time.

The beauty of Bill Joel? Unlike with so many stars, there's no myth-building
Normally, if you see someone's four wives all speaking about them on TV, it's a safe bet you're watching a 'Dateline' murder mystery. So it's astonishing to witness all three of Billy Joel's exes appear as well as his current wife in the documentary 'And So It Goes,' the second episode of which premieres Friday at 8 p.m. on HBO. Heck, even his former bandmate Jon Small is a frequent voice in the film. Small was married to Elizabeth Weber when the Piano Man and Weber fell in love. Advertisement The fallout from that triangle led Joel to attempt suicide, and he says he felt like a 'homewrecker.' But Small 'finally got over it' — and even went on to direct the music video for 'Uptown Girl.' 8 Last summer, Billy Joel ended his long running residency at Madison Square Garden. Getty Images I cannot account for his personal interactions and how he's still on good terms with all these people, but it says a lot about the man. Forgiveness is complicated. Advertisement And so is self-examination. But Joel, who has an inherent likability, seems to be well-practiced in the art. Not that he didn't give the women in his life agita. Much of his marital strife was fueled by alcohol abuse, and much of that was well documented in the press over the years. 'Some of the stupid stuff I did, that's painful to talk about,' the 76-year-old recently told People magazine, adding that directors Susan Lacy and Jessica Levin 'asked me for some thematic guidance. I said, 'Just tell the truth.'' 8 HBO's two-part documentary 'And So It Goes' explores the life and music of Billy Joel. Advertisement What's interesting is not just his story but the way he tells it, and the way he let the filmmakers have free rein. Lacy said they were given 'complete and utter independence' by the singer-songwriter. Unlike with so many stars, there's no myth-building at play. There's no artifice. As told in the documentary, his remarkable life can be summed up by the opening anecdote. Joel, who grew up in Hicksville, Long Island, recalls working on an oyster boat as a young man. He'd look up a sprawling mansion and sneer at the 'rich bastards' who lived there. 8 In the 1980s, Billy Joel and Christie Brinkley were the biggest celebrity power couple — and she was his muse. Ron Galella Collection via Getty Images Advertisement 'Well, I own that house now,' he said. It doesn't come off as an arrogant mic drop, but rather a 'pinch me' moment. And while he famously has a song called 'Angry Young Man,' it's the fact that he remained a man of the people that's been the key to his success. He is not, as Bruce Springsteen notes in the film, 'an angry activist man. He never directly goes there. Which is part of why the material hasn't dated.' 8 Billy Joel started taking piano lessons as a young boy in Hicksville, Long Island. Photograph by Billy Joel Archives/HBO 'Say Goodbye to Hollywood' was written when Joel and Weber were living in California — and he realized that the Empire State was a better personality fit. Relieved to be back, he literally wrote 'New York State of Mind' while on a Greyhound bus heading to Highland Falls, where Weber had found them a home. With 'Goodnight Saigon,' he wove a beautiful narrative through the tales of his friends who had returned from Vietnam. Advertisement 8 Billy Joel's first wife, Elizabeth Weber, was also his manager. She is interviewed in 'And So It Goes.' AFP via Getty Images 'Lullaby' was written for his daughter Alex Ray Joel as he was splitting with second wife Christie Brinkley. 'Piano Man' is rightfully praised in the documentary by rapper Nas as a 'mirror facing the mirror.' There's themes of love, loss and searching for his absentee father. Joel found him living in 'Vienna.' Advertisement But he has never truly told people how to think — a rarity these days. 8 Billy Joel performing in the 1970s. Photograph by Art Maillet/Sony Music Archives/HBO As critic Steven Hyden remarks in the film. 'He writes about people. Not causes or concepts.' Joel has said he knows people don't want to hear him on his soap box. Advertisement Appearing on 'Club Random,' he recently told Bill Maher he has no time for woke scolds. 8 In 2015, Joel married his fourth wife, Alexis Roderick, and the pair share two daughters, Della and Remy. Wireimage 'On the other hand, I'm always trying to find out the other point of view. What's, you know, not my point of view — somebody else's point of view,' Joel told Maher. 'OK, I'd like to understand why they think that way.' It's obvious why people connect with the guy. He's one of us, only with six Grammies and a spot in the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame. Advertisement The father-of-three was recently diagnosed with normal pressure hydrocephalus, a brain disorder that causes, among other things, issues with cognition and balance. This week, he told Maher that he 'feels good' save for his balance: 'It's like being on a boat.' 8 On a recent episode of 'Club Random' Billy Joel told Bill Maher that he 'feels good' despite his diagnosis of normal pressure hydrocephalus.

Scottie Scheffler clears the air on British Open fart-gate
The Scottie Scheffler fart-gate took a brand new twist. On the 17th hole at the British Open last Thursday, when Scheffler was chipping to the green, the broadcast feed picked up someone passing gas.

I'm definitely surprised it hasn't happened more in the past picking up stuff like that. I literally didn't think anything about it then after we got inside, Xander [Schauffele] was showing me the video. He pulls up the video and I see myself standing on 17, and I'm like, 'Oh, I know what this is.''
