Denise Richards' husband files for divorce
Aaron Phypers has pulled the plug on his nearly seven-year marriage to actress and OnyFans star Denise Richards.
The actor filed for divorce from former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star in Los Angeles on Monday.
According to court documents obtained by Page Six, he listed July 4 as their separation date and cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for their split.
Phypers, 49, requested that the court grant him spousal support.

The self-employed businessman, who revealed he has not earned income since shutting down his wellness company last year, claims that he and Richards' monthly expenses total $US105,000 ($162,000).
As part of his community and quasi-community property declaration, Phypers requested that he and Richards, 54, divide their Smoke & Mirrors Entertainment company 50/50.
Phypers stated in court documents that he and Richards have no minor children together.
Reps for Richards did not immediately respond to Page Six's request for comment.
Phypers was once in the process of adopting the Wild Things star's 13-year-old daughter, Eloise Joni, in 2019.

'He's amazing as a Daddy,' Richards gushed during a 2019 interview on The View, per People. 'He's amazing with my daughters, and he's adopting my youngest, so it's really great.'
The actress initially adopted Eloise in 2011.
Aside from Eloise, Richards is also the mother to two adult daughters — Sami Sheen, 21, and Lola Rose Sheen, 20 — with ex-husband Charlie Sheen, whom she was married to from 2002 to 2006.
Phypers, meanwhile, previously wed Desperate Housewives star Nicollette Sheridan in 2015 but called off their marriage a year later.

Richards and Phypers, who tied the knot on Sept. 8, 2018, worked together on several business endeavours together, including the TV personality's OnlyFans account.
During a 2022 interview on SiriusXM's Jeff Lewis Live, Richards claimed her now-estranged husband took 'a lot of [her] content.'
Phypers also made several appearances on RHOBH and starred on Richards' latest series, Denise Richards and the Wild Things.
Despite Phypers listing his and Richards separation date as July 4, the latter seemed to be in good spirits that day as she posted a patriotic bikini photo via Instagram. 'Red, white, and a little bit ooh la la,' she captioned the spicy snap.

Meghan and Harry cutting staff to save cash: report
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Prince Harry and Meghan's decision to part ways with their communications team was part of a cost-saving measure, according to a new report. The couple's staffing woes were again in the spotlight recently following reports six more members of their team had departed. Among them was Charlie Gipson, their European communications director, and Kyle Boulia, their LA-based deputy press secretary, who were let go after barely a year on the job. The Sun reported at the time that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex had blamed them for failing to counter a spate of negative media coverage. However, according to Page Six, financial worries may have played a bigger role – with the publication adding that the tally of staff who have either resigned or been fired since they branched out on their own in 2020 actually around 25. 'It's the same old story – they cycle through staff as quickly as normal people cycle through toilet paper. Milk lasts longer than their employees,' a source told Page Six. Meghan and Harry at Beyoncé's LA concert earlier this year. Picture: Instagram They've reportedly been looking for ways to cut back on costs, according to a new report. Picture:for TIME It's also understood that Harry and Meghan's multimillion-dollar Netflix deal will expire this year. At the time it was signed, it was estimated to be worth around $100 million – although sources have since put that number closer to $20 million. Either way, the streaming service is now prioritising 'first look deals' rather than exclusive contracts, and therefore a new agreement could be worth significantly less for the couple, who have enormous overheads including the mortgage on their Montecito mansion, annual security and also staffing costs. Last month, when the Sussex team changes came to light, the UK's Telegraph claimed that, in total, six employees had left or been fired recently. Along with Gipson and Boulia, it reportedly included the head of operations at Archewell, Lianne Cashin, Archewell's director of communications, Deesha Tank, and Meghan's social media manager, who was reportedly already gone prior to her posting her viral dance video on Instagram. According to The Sun, Harry and Meghan have now employed a team from the US-based Method Communications and hired Emily Robinson – who previously looked after publicity for Netflix's The Crown – as their new director of communications. A former employee of Bill Gates, Sarah Fosmo, is Meghan's new chief of staff. Harry and Meghan's chief communications officer, Meredith Maines, told The Sun the staffing overhaul was about providing better 'access'. 'Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access,' she said in a statement. However, the story inevitably reignited previous allegations of Meghan's management style, with an unflattering Vanity Fair article earlier this year painting her as a ruthless boss. One ex-staffer compared Meghan to a 'Mean Girls teenager', and described working on her Archetypes podcast as 'really, really awful' and 'very painful'. Others described 'taking extended breaks' to 'escape scrutiny' or 'undergoing long-term therapy' after working with her. Both Harry and Meghan have strenuously denied allegations of poor behaviour toward staff in the past. Originally published as Meghan and Harry cutting staff to save cash: report

Zayn Malik addresses racism he faced in One Direction on new song
Zayn Malik is set to release a song about facing racism during his time in One Direction. The 32-year-old pop star shot to fame alongside Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and the late Liam Payne in one of the biggest boy bands in the world in 2010. Zayn quit the What Makes You Beautiful group in 2015, and pursued a solo career. He's now previewed a track called Fuchsia Sea on Instagram, on which he sings: 'I worked hard in a white band / And they still laughed at the Asian." A song of the same name already appeared on Zayn's 2024 solo album Room Under The Stairs, so it's unclear whether it's simply been updated or will be a new song entirely. The clip of the song teases that it's "coming soon". He captioned the post: "Zaddy's home." Zayn - who is of Pakistani heritage on his father's side - was previously compared to suspected terrorist Dzhokhar Tsarnaev by Bill Maher on late-night television in the US, leading to a petition for him to apologise. Opening about the racism he's faced, Zayn told The Sun in 2012: 'Nasty things [were said] like I'm a terrorist, and this and that. 'How can you justify that? How can you call me that and get away with it?' Meanwhile, Zayn "almost cried" as he sang One Direction's Night Changes on the anniversary of his departure from the band. The singer was visibly moved as he performed the last single he released with his 1D bandmates in Mexico City in March. He told the crowd at Palacio De Los Deportes arena in a clip circulated on social media: "It's the first time I sang that song in 10 years. "Thank you, that was f****** amazing. I almost cried at one point. This is insane." In a social media statement, the Pillow Talk hitmaker announced on the day of his exit: "My life with One Direction has been more than I could ever have imagined. But, after five years, I feel like it is now the right time for me to leave the band. 'I'd like to apologize to the fans if I've let anyone down, but I have to do what feels right in my heart. "I am leaving because I want to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight.' He reunited with bandmates Harry, Niall and Louis at Liam's funeral late last year. The 31-year-old star plunged to his death from the balcony of his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16, 2024.

‘Great shame': Singer breaks world crowd record as Nazi salute controversy erupts
Don't miss out on the headlines from Music. Followed categories will be added to My News. Croatian star Marko Perković Thompson has made history with a massive show in Zagreb that reportedly drew more than half a million fans, breaking the world record for the largest ticketed music concert. But the event has also sparked international outrage over far-right salutes and symbolism among the crowd, with authorities warning that some attendees could face prosecution.

According to event headquarters, around 450,000 tickets were sold, while organisers claimed as many as 504,000 people attended. That figure would surpass the previous record held by Italian rocker Vasco Rossi, who sold 225,173 tickets for his 2017 show in Modena. The massive show in Zagreb reportedly drew more than half a million fans.

Photo: volimhrvatsku/Instagram The concert kicked off around 9pm and ran for three hours, delivering a powerful performance with one of the most elaborate stage productions ever seen in Croatia. The stage itself was an engineering feat, standing 33 metres high and stretching 150 metres wide, with the platform elevated three to four metres above the ground to give fans a better view. Due to the scale of the production, some high-end technical equipment had to be imported from Dubai, as the necessary gear could not be sourced within Croatia. Authorities called it one of the most logistically complex events ever held in the region. Nearly 14,000 personnel were on duty throughout the day, including police officers, firefighters, paramedics, Civil Protection units, Red Cross staff and private security.

Photo: Photo: volimhrvatsku/Instagram The Ministry of the Interior reported that 123 people were taken into custody during the event and medical teams responded to 245 interventions at the Hippodrome and nearby Bundek area. However, the concert has drawn heavy criticism over displays of Nazi-era symbolism and salutes linked to Croatia's World War II Ustaše regime. Large sections of the crowd were seen responding with the salute. Photo: Damir Sencar/AFP During the performance, Thompson played songs that included the controversial 'For the homeland, Ready!' salute, a phrase associated with the Ustaše, the Nazi-allied puppet government responsible for mass murders during the Second World War. He told the crowd, 'With this concert we will show our unity,' adding that he wanted to 'send a message to all of Europe to return to its tradition, to its Christian roots.' Thompson said he wanted "all of Europe to return to its tradition, to its Christian roots.' Photo: Photo: volimhrvatsku/Instagram Large sections of the crowd were seen responding with the salute, prompting condemnation from Croatian and international observers. Croatian Ombudsperson Tena Simonovic Einwalter criticised authorities for failing to send a clear message that such expressions are unacceptable and illegal. Former Croatian Prime Minister Jadranka Kosor accused officials and media of indulging Thompson, while former Serbian president Boris Tadić labelled the scenes 'a great shame for Croatia' and 'eerie' for modern Europe. The event has also sparked international outrage over far-right salutes and symbolism. Photo: volimhrvatsku/Instagram Croatian state television reported that a prominent handball player was dropped from his team after attending the show. Thompson, who has long faced accusations of promoting far-right nationalism at his concerts, has defended his use of the salute as part of Croatia's struggle for independence in the 1990s.
