Scott Wolf Files For Divorce After 21 Years Of Marriage
'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' she wrote on Instagram. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.'
Kelley Wolf, who was in the cast of MTV's The Real World: New Orleans and later authored a self-help book, has three children with the Doc actor. She praised Wolf as a father and partner.
'I am stepping into a chapter of peace, freedom, and protection—with grace,' she added.
Her announcement came about a year after she shared a story of how she once wanted to leave Wolf because he always found fault with her. He pledged to improve and followed through, she said. 'Like all amazing love stories, we continue to choose the power of love, over and over,' she wrote at the time.
Scott Wolf delivered a brief statement to People on their split:
'After 21 years of marriage, I have made the most difficult decision of my life, and filed for divorce from my wife Kelley,' he said. 'Our children have always been, and continue to be, the loves of our lives and our every priority, so I kindly ask for privacy at this time as we help guide them through this new chapter.'
He may have hinted at issues in a January interview with Us Weekly.
'The last few years have presented life in a way that we hadn't experienced before,' Scott said. 'These are not life and death issues, but reframing issues, things that have, kind of, challenges, and watching our family go through things that have presented challenges … to find our way through in ways that have changed the way I see happiness. ... This period of time has been weird for a lot of people. And we sort of got blown in the wind a little bit, moved around a bunch.'

'Happy Gilmore 2' star Haley Joel Osment makes first red carpet appearance since arrest
"Happy Gilmore 2" star Haley Joel Osment made a rare red carpet appearance months after his April arrest made headlines. The former child star, now 37, walked the film's red carpet Monday, July 21, at Lincoln Center in New York City. He wore a floral shirt, and white pants for the affair, pairing the look with a matching jacket and slip-on suede loafers. "The Sixth Sense" star appears in "Happy Gilmore 2" (released Friday, July 25 on Netflix) — the brainchild of comedian Adam Sandler — as new character Billy Jenkins in the sequel to the beloved 1996 golf comedy. Osment's appearance at the premiere marked his first major public outing since he was arrested this spring and charged with disorderly conduct for public alcohol intoxication and possession of cocaine at Mammoth Mountain Ski Area resort in Mammoth Lakes, California. 'Happy Gilmore 2': The wildest celebrity cameos, from Travis Kelce to Ken Jennings Earlier this year, Osment apologized for his use of a slur in a statement shared with People and the New York Post April 18 after his arrest footage surfaced. The footage, shared by Page Six, shows Osment calling an officer a "Nazi" and hurling an antisemitic slur about Jewish people. "You'll wish you treated me nicer," Osment said to the officer. As he was escorted into the jail in handcuffs by two officers, the actor said, "Good luck." Osment told the outlets that "I'm absolutely horrified by my behavior. Had I known I used this disgraceful language in the throes of a blackout, I would have spoken up sooner." He added that "the past few months of loss and displacement have broken me down to a very low emotional place." Osment continued: "But that's no excuse for using this disgusting word. From the bottom of my heart, I apologize to absolutely everyone that this hurts. What came out of my mouth was nonsensical garbage - I've let the Jewish community down and it devastates me. I don't ask for anyone's forgiveness, but I promise to atone for my terrible mistake." Contributing: Saman Shafiq

Bradley Cooper May ‘Pop the Question' to Gigi Hadid in a ‘Couple of Months'
THE RUNDOWN After almost two years of dating, sources close to Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper believe they may be getting engaged soon. An insider speaking with Page Six says that they are very serious and that Cooper is 'considering marriage and kids with Gigi.' 'He might pop the question in the next couple of months,' they added. Another source stated, 'They could picture a blended family with their daughters and their own kids,' adding they are 'incredibly happy and are in their own bubble.' Both the actor and the model have children already, with Cooper sharing his seven-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine, with model Irina Shayk. Hadid shares her five-year-old daughter, Khai, with former boyfriend Zayn Malik. An insider told People in January that the couple has introduced their daughters and they all spend time together. 'It's very sweet,' said the source. 'They are busy with work, but also prioritize their relationship and daughters.' The couple first stirred dating rumors in October 2023 after being seen on a dinner date at Via Carota in New York City. They have been very discreet about their connection, but in March, Hadid opened up to Vogue that they met at the 'backyard birthday party' of a mutual friend's child. She also shared some of the challenges that come with dating as a celebrity. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating, and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard,' Hadid began. 'Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people? And then there's another added layer of privacy and security. You want to believe that people are going to have your back and not call TMZ or go on DeuxMoi or whatever, but you just don't know.' Hadid added that her and Cooper's relationship is 'very romantic and happy.'

'Celebrity Deathmatch' Creator Thinks Show Would Be Even Bigger Today — with These Celebrities in the Ring (Exclusive)
"Celebrity Deathmatch" ran from 1998 to 2002 Eric Fogel combined some of his favorite things into a risky show that earned itself a place in MTV history. The creator of Celebrity Deathmatch first pitched the idea 28 years ago, during his time working at the network. "As a kid, I always had love for stop-motion animation. I was just sort of taken by those Ray Harryhausen films and some of the claymation that you would see on TV at the time," he tells PEOPLE. "As I grew older, I became aware that there was maybe a market for a more adult animated content, and I thought that stop-motion animation in that adult space felt like unmarked territory." "I started thinking of all the things that I loved — professional wrestling and making fun of celebrities. I thought if I could sort of mix that with that claymation style, you could have something really special." The idea didn't immediately appeal to everyone, but Fogel was persistent in what he believed had real potential. "The MTV execs, they weren't quite seeing it, and it took about a year of me and my producing partner at the time, a guy named John Lynn, sort of repeatedly whispering into the ear of the president of MTV. After about a year of annoying him, he said, 'Yeah, let's do it,'" he laughs. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Celebrity Deathmatch started as "sort of an experiment" with an original short that premiered on Cartoon Sushi. The matchup was Marilyn Manson versus Charles Manson. "That was the original celebrity deathmatch, and that was our experiment to test the technology and see if this was something that could work in a larger format," he explains. Bringing that short to life, at the time, consisted of "taking over a conference room" at MTV Animation's offices in midtown Manhattan. "It's not really set up to film stop-motion animation. We set up some janky lighting and some, at that time, free chip digital video cameras. We were sort of figuring it out as we went along with those early episodes," he says. "Then, there was an opportunity to go bigger. MTV was doing a Super Bowl halftime alternative, and they approached us and asked if we could do a Celebrity Deathmatch halftime show." Despite being "only like three weeks out from the Super Bowl," Fogel told them that they "could do it, but we'd have to keep it really simple — limited characters, nothing too crazy." "They said they'd think on it and come back to us. They came back to us and said, 'Okay, and we know who we would like to feature in the deathmatch,'" he recalls. "It was The Spice Girls versus Hanson, so that was like a total of like eight characters in there, which was exactly what we didn't want." Still, they "locked in" — literally. "We were in that conference room for, I think, three weeks straight, morning, noon, and night, getting that thing finished," he says. "It was a labor of love, and it kind of paid off. That was what launched us into a series format." Fogel says the success of the show was "what animators dream of." "You take everything that you love and you put it out there in the world and hope that other people love it too. And when they do, that's sort of that magic spark. It was a dream to realize that we had found an audience and that we could keep making these," Fogel shares. Week after week, writers would scour through entertainment magazines "to see who was in the zeitgeist that week." "We would just create these lists of celebrities that we thought could be interesting and then try to figure out the pairings, and sometimes you know it was a little tricky because you had to have layers, a series of gags you could build a deathmatch around," he explains. "Some celebrities were a little more fertile in that way, while others were were not. So it was tricky to choose, and, and then sort of figure out what would make the funniest, most entertaining deathmatch. That was always the challenge of putting those matches together." Fogel enjoyed orchestrating some of the more "elaborate matches" that included different settings than the basic ring. "For one match, we built this Tower of Terror, and we had Russell Crowe against Charlton Heston, and it was sort of this gladiator match, but it was in this tower that had all these booby traps and things that made it really fun and insane," he recalls. "There was the Dome of Devastation. We had Billy Corgan from The Smashing Pumpkins versus Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. It had musical instruments on the walls of the dome." "It was really fun finding those clever, gimmicky deathmatches," he adds. "We had a time machine too, so we could bring people from ancient history, and pair them with modern celebrities, and that was always exciting." While the humor was definitely on the riskier side, Fogel says that many of the celebrities featured "were really good sports about it." "I was nervous at times thinking we had maybe pushed things a little too far," Fogel admits. "I remember in one instance, we had a match, a three-way match between Whoopi Goldberg, Robin Williams and Billy Crystal. Whoopi Goldberg contacted us after that match," he reveals. "She sent us flowers and chocolate, and she was such a huge fan that we then approached her directly and asked if she would actually come back and be featured as a guest commentator on the show. She said yes and she did provide her own voice for that." In 2002, Celebrity Deathmatch came to an end, but briefly returned from 2006 to 2007 without Fogel's involvement. Despite "a few false starts," it hasn't returned to the air in 18 years. However, Fogel thinks that the possibility is there — and always will be. "That's the beauty of the show — it's timeless. These matches are iconic. You could literally open Google and type a few words, and you'll get a whole bunch of new Celebrity Deathmatch ideas. It's an evergreen concept," he shares. "I was just browsing this morning. Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel hate each other. You know, Will Smith and Chris Rock probably still hate each other? Taylor Swift and Kanye West is still a match I'd like to visit in the ring," he shares. "It feels like there are still some unresolved issues there. It's such a fertile, fertile environment. I feel like you could bring it back tomorrow, and people would tune into it." With the introduction of social media, Fogel says he "would love the opportunity to just see what would happen." "To me, that would be even more entertaining, to have that interaction where now, celebrities are so vocal and you can get that sort of real-time reaction," he says. "I think that would make it even more exciting." "Politically? We don't even have to go there, but you know... Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg would be a very fertile environment for a celebrity deathmatch. And then, you know, just pivoting back to the social media angle, you know, MrBeast and Logan Paul would be insane, right? You have a whole new sort of stomping grounds that you could play in, and it's just unlimited." Laughing, he adds, "Let's do it. Let's make it." Read the original article on People
