'Hilarious that every year she never wishes Gavin Rossdale a happy Father's Day,' another fan said.
Someone else wrote, 'Man I wonder what Gavin did to leave your heart so badly. It's sad in a way but glad to see happiness in your life with a person that knew how to value you.'

Shortly before the divorce was finalized, the No Doubt frontwoman began dating Shelton, 48, after meeting on 'The Voice.' The country singer was going through his own split from wife Miranda Lambert at the time.
Stefani and Shelton got engaged in 2020 and exchanged vows the following year.
In 2023, Stefani opened up about her 'terrible' split from Rossdale in a candid interview with People.

In March 2024, Rossdale revealed on the 'Amy & T.J.' podcast that he often crosses paths with both Stefani and Shelton at industry events.
'I go to a lot of events where there's 'the other team,' so to speak and I just feel really proud of myself in my consistency as a father,' Rossdale explained. 'I know in my heart that I'm super consistent.'

Nancy Meyers Reacts With Surprise to News of 'The Holiday' Limited Series
THE RUNDOWN On August 1, it was reported that Nancy Meyers's 2006 film The Holiday was in development as a limited series for Apple TV+ by Deadline. But it looks like Meyers had no idea about the new show and was quick to comment on the production in an Instagram Story. Sharing a screenshot of a report on The Holiday series, Meyers wrote over it, 'News to me. Imagine my surprise when I opened Instagram and this was the first post I saw.' Here's everything we know about the project so far. In the original film, two women trade homes in the U.K. countryside and Los Angeles after struggling with their personal lives. Amanda Woods is a Hollywood trailer editor who ends her engagement and Iris is a newspaper columnist stuck in a rut. After trading spaces, Amanda meets Iris's widower brother, Graham, and surprises herself by reconnecting emotionally to love. Iris meets Amanda's neighbor, Arthur, a forgotten Hollywood icon, and then meets a film composer named Miles; both men help her transform. The series will likely be some version of Meyers's original story, keeping 'the setup of the movie about a single American and single British woman living very different lives who swap their houses for the holidays and find love in the process.' The original cast included Cameron Diaz, Kate Winslet, Jude Law, and Jack Black, but Deadline stated the show will feature 'new characters,' and thus new actors. But maybe we can hope for a cameo? Krissie Ducker is serving as the writer and executive producer for The Holiday series, along with comedian Rob Delaney as a consultant on the script. Not yet. This post will be updated.

Ex NJ teacher roasted after claiming she was traumatized by Sydney Sweeney ad
She used Sydney's rump for a trauma dump. An ex New Jersey teacher-turned-lifestyle influencer is getting roasted online for turning Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad into a therapy session, with a post claiming she feels unattractive because of her skin color — and a repost of it, calling her a 'professional victim,' went viral. 'For me, I can't help but think about the 13-year-old brown girl who gets all of her denim at American Eagle, who already struggles to see her beauty and worth in a world that continues to value white, Eurocentric beauty standards,' said Payal Desai of Medford in an Instagram video on Tuesday. Her clip was reposted on X on Wednesday by media personality Colin Rugg — with the caption, 'The professional victims are relentless' — and it's already racked up 10.6 million views and masses of criticism. 'If your self worth crumbles at the sight of Sydney Sweeney in jeans, I've got news for you: The problem isn't whiteness. It's you,' one X user wrote. 'The American Eagle ad triggered your childhood trauma? Because Sydney Sweeney is blonde and beautiful?' someone else asked. 'Girl, that's not oppression, that's insecurity, and you need to handle that in therapy, not social media. I'm a mixed Latina, and I think she looks absolutely stunning.' 'This was probably just a grift by her to get everyone to tell her she is pretty,' Rugg, who has 1.8 million X followers, added. Desai called the 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans' ad campaign 'especially off-putting.' Desai, 39, whose parents are from India, grew up in Allentown, PA, according to NJ Advance Media. In her reactionary post, which garnered 284,000 views on her Instagram page, @payalforstyle and over 88,000 on her TikTok handle, she spoke about her difficulty finding herself pretty in her 'predominantly white community.' 'I really wasn't gonna weigh in on this, but here we go. It is so difficult to grow up as a person of color, specifically a woman, and view yourself as beautiful in any sense of the word growing up in this country,' she began in the video to her 441,000 followers. 'I remember growing up in a predominantly white community wishing myself out of this body, out of this culture. Take my name if it meant that I could wake up blonde-haired and blue-eyed, never having to explain who I am or worry about being accepted. That is why this American Eagle ad with Sydney Sweeney is especially off-putting.' This is not the first time Desai, a former eighth grade teacher who left her job to pursue full-time content creating, has gone viral. In 2023, Desai amassed millions of views for her series on TikTok dubbed 'No Dusty Sons,' where she teaches her two young boys lessons that will one day benefit their future partners. Desai has disabled comments on her now-infamous Instagram post.

Broadway is in a bizarre uproar over the race of an actor playing a robot
Broadway has enjoyed a quiet, relaxing and peaceful summer. But show people can't have that! They always need, as Betty sang in the recently shuttered 'Boop! The Musical,' something to shout about. And their something has finally arrived in the form of a piping hot controversy at this year's Best Musical Tony Award winner, 'Maybe Happy Ending.' It's a doozy. Some members of the theater industry are hollerin' 'It's a scandal! It's a outrage!' over the race of an actor who's been cast to play — believe it or not — a robot. 'Maybe Happy Ending,' by the writing team of Hue Park and Will Aronson, is a sweet little science-fiction romantic-comedy that's set in Seoul, South Korea, during the year 2060. The main characters are Oliver and Claire, played by Darren Criss, who's half Filipino, and Helen J. Shen, who's Chinese. Oliver and Claire are robots. 5 There's a controversy brewing over at Broadway's 'Maybe Happy Ending.' Getty Images But the nuts-and-bolts duo have become defunct, so they embark on a quirky adventure to find Oliver's old owner. It's perhaps the nicest show to ever come to Broadway. Or it was. Until this latest fracas. The happiness dimmed when the wonderful, Tony-winning Criss's replacement was announced: actor Andrew Barth Feldman, the fantastic 'No Hard Feelings' star who's also Shen's boyfriend. He's white. Uh oh! In private, many on Broadway are largely OK with that. The most common refrain I've heard is: 'Well, they're robots.' But social media, as it does best, has poured gas on the fire. 5 Andrew Barth Feldman takes on the role of Oliver in September. WireImage Playwright and actor BD Wong, who was a strong voice in 1991 against British actor Jonathan Pryce playing the Eurasian Engineer in 'Miss Saigon' (Wong was absolutely right about that), wrote an essay slamming the choice. And the Asian American Performers Action Coalition came out against it, too. What do the creators have to say? They didn't write the roles to be culturally specific. Because they're robots! Robots don't have a culture. Well, except the Terminator, of course. He loves schnitzel and strudel. 5 'Maybe Happy Ending' won the Tony Award for Best Musical. Christopher Sadowski After the backlash, Aronson and Hue — kind and humble as it gets — explained on Instagram that they set out to create 'a modern 'Fantasticks,' able to be comfortably performed by anyone, anywhere — yet distinctly set in Korea.' Fair enough. Oliver and Claire, they said, are 'products created by a global company' who are 'ethnically undefined.' That makes a lot of sense. Because the characters are robots. The production said in a statement to the Times, 'We are proud to have created a show where every role can authentically be portrayed by an Asian actor, although the roles of the robots were not envisioned to always be cast that way.' 5 Darren Criss won a Tony for his performance. Bruce Glikas/WireImage And that openness has been true throughout the 'Maybe Happy Ending' journey. Aronson told the LA Times back in March that during an early workshop, the parts were taken on by Denée Benton, who's black, and Corey Cott, who's white. See? There's lots of flexibility when casting robots. Look, it's Hue and Aronson's show. They wrote it. Who's to tell them what they can and cannot do and what their intentions were? 5 'Maybe Happy Ending' is the rare musical about robots. CBS via Getty Images The fact is 'Maybe Happy Ending' is the only Broadway musical I am aware of in which the leads are made of metal. (Although I've seen plenty of shows where it sure seemed like they were). It's an extremely unusual circumstance, and hardly one to draw broad conclusions from. In works about Asian humans, like the Imelda Marcos musical 'Here Lies Love,' something like this would never happen anymore. Feldman, who was nothing short of sublime in last season's 'We Had A World,' starts performing at the Belasco Theatre on Sept. 2. The uproar should die down well before that. And then fall on Broadway can resume being 'Happy.'
