Recently, we wrote about nepo babies who never truly "made it" — and now we're back with ones who did but *mayyyyybe* shouldn't have. Here are nepo babies people think NEVER would've been successful if they didn't have famous family members. John David Washington (Denzel Washington's son) Kaia Gerber (model Cindy Crawford's daughter) Lily-Rose Depp (Johnny Depp's daughter) Dakota Johnson (Melanie Griffith and Don Johnson's daughter) Kate Hudson (actor Goldie Hawn and musician/actor Bill Hudson's daughter — also actor Kurt Russell's stepdaughter) Zoë Kravitz (musician Lenny Kravitz and actor Lisa Bonet's daughter) O'Shea Jackson Jr. (Ice Cube's son) Colin Hanks (actor Tom Hanks' brother) Tori Spelling (producer Aaron Spelling's daughter) Cara Delevingne (The Evening Standard and The Daily Express director Sir Jocelyn Stevens' granddaughter, among her other connections) Margaret Qualley (actor Andie MacDowell's daughter) Hero Fiennes (actor Ralph Fiennes' son) Gwyneth Paltrow (actor Blythe Danner and director Bruce Paltrow's daughter) Bryce Dallas Howard (director Ron Howard's daughter) Scott Eastwood (Clint Eastwood's son) "Pacific Rim: Uprising was already a terrible sequel, but the actor playing Nate Lambert stood out in the worst way possible. I'd never seen such wooden acting in such a large budget movie, so I figured he might be the director's kid or something. Nope. Scott Eastwood, son of Clint Eastwood."—[deleted] Maude Apatow (director Judd Apatow and actor Leslie Mann's daughter) Maya Hawke (actors Ethan Hawk and Uma Therman's daughter) Emma Roberts (Eric Roberts' daughter and Julia Roberts' niece) Billie Lourd Suggested by u/LivingandDyinginLA"She was lovely to watch in Scream Queens and Booksmart…then I realized that that's kind of how she acts in everything.

Published on: Tuesday, July 01, 2025 Published on: Tue, Jul 01, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas, Sisca Humphrey Text Size: The Daily Express, OCDN and Harian Ekspres team celebrating at KPA 2025. Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Publishing House flagship publications Daily Express, Overseas Chinese Daily News and Harian Ekspres, continued to make an impact with multiple awards at the Kinabalu Press Awards (KPA) 2025. The awards on Sunday evening reaffirmed SPH's leading role in upholding quality journalism and providing news that matter to the Sabah public whether via print or digital platforms. Senior Reporter Sherell Ann Jeffrey set a record by again bagging the Journalism Award (English) for the sixth consecutive year. Her series explored how Sabah women are dealing with sexual harassment. She also earned a Merit in the Environmental Reporting category for highlighting conservation concerns over the Maliau Basin alongside senior writer Kan Yaw Chong. The duo took home another merit for their reports over a dispute that affected the future of Borneo's oldest Sikh temple in Tanjung Aru built in 1924. Court correspondent Joan George Mool was honoured with a merit in the News Reporting category for her piece on 'Steps Taken After the Sulu Fiasco'.

Noor Zafira Mohd Shafie delivered a strong showing with merits in both Business and Environmental Reporting, writing on blue economy strategies and sustainable waste transformation. Meanwhile, Sabah Journalist Association President Mariah Doksil said unverified and half-truth reports could damage businesses, undermine government and political credibility and ultimately disrupt societal harmony. 'We all know the impact of fake news. During elections, social media becomes a prime platform for information warfare and without control, it could harm public stability,' she said. She also highlighted the challenges facing mainstream journalism in the digital age, particularly with the growing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI). 'Some of us depend too much on AI to write news, until we let this chatbot decide the facts and the style of writing. 'Yes, AI is helpful, but it still has limits. Let's not surrender our creative juice to a machine,' she said. Mariah proposed that the Government consider smart partnerships with media organisations or GLCs to ensure the long-term sustainability of the industry, especially amid rising economic pressures and shrinking readership of traditional media. 'We believe the role of a free and responsible media must be protected by all parties,' Mariah said. She noted that 268 entries were received this year, reviewed by professional judges under the Malaysian Press Institute (MPI). She said the awards not only honour excellence in journalism but also celebrate the spirit of storytelling that anchors societal progress. 'We are often the storytellers of others' journeys for their struggles, triumphs and turning points. Yet, behind every byline, recording and photo, we too are humans driven to seek and share the truth.' she added. She also acknowledged the Sabah Government's RM110,000 contribution this year which marked an increase from RM100,000 in support of the event. A key highlight of the night was the presentation of the Golden Service Award (Tokoh Wartawan Sabah) to Chan Kang Yuan 90 for his exceptional contribution to journalism over six decades. Chan began his career in 1958 at Overseas Chinese Daily News before rising through the ranks to serve as chief editor of Borneo Times, Sandakan Jit Pao, Merdeka Daily News and Sabah Shi Pao. He was detained under the Internal Security Act (ISA) for 18 months during the post-May 13 emergency period for publishing political content under censorship yet remained steadfast in his principles of truthful and responsible journalism. SJA paid tribute to Chan for his bravery professionalism and deep sense of social responsibility noting that his service has been nothing short of exemplary. In a heartfelt gesture of solidarity the organising committee purchased and distributed 100 packets of rice produced by former part-time Daily Express journalist Stefyanie Myla who is currently raising funds for her young son's medical treatment. Also present were Assistant Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environment Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, former President of the SJA Datuk Muguntan Vanar, President of MPI Datuk Yong Soo Heong and distinguished guests. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?

Everything we know as as search for Madeleine McCann enters its third day
Everything we know as as search for Madeleine McCann enters its third day The search of land in Praia da Luz continues on Thursday, 18 years after the three-year-old's disappearance. The searches are taking place between Brueckner's old rented cottage and a rural area near Lagos, Atalaia (Image: PA ) Madeleine McCann was three years old when she vanished on May 3, 2007 after her parents left her asleep in their holiday apartment in Praia da Luz, in the Algarve, Portugal. Since then, hers has become one of the highest-profile unsolved missing person cases in the world, with British, Portuguese and European police forces involved in the investigation. Police forces from across Europe have launched multiple searches for Madeleine McCann since her disappearance in 2007. Early efforts focused on the Praia da Luz resort, where she was last seen in her family's holiday apartment. In 2013, British police began Operation Grange, a formal investigation into the case. Searches have included digging in scrubland, draining reservoirs, and using sniffer dogs and ground-penetrating radar. German authorities have also led inquiries in recent years, targeting prime suspect, 48-year-old Christian Brückner. Madeleine McCann disappeared from a holiday flat in Portugal in 2007 (Image: PA ) Article continues below The latest one commenced on Tuesday this week, searching the suspects old place of residence in Praia da Luz, covering a large patch of land near the home of their prime suspect and the McCanns' holiday apartment. Here's everything we know. The latest investigation Where are police searching? Operational tents have been set up in the nearby village of Atalaia as investigation teams search over 20 plots of land in Praia da Luz. German authorities, who are leading this investigation, are searching the old residence of Christian Brückner, a man who is currently in jail for the offence of rape, to find anything that could prove Madeleine was ever taken there. What have they found? Teams investigating the disappearance of Madeleine McCann have taken samples of potential evidence from properties near Praia Da Luz in Portugal. The search teams were seen using pickaxes, shovels and chainsaws to clear dense vegetation and dig near a derelict building. On Tuesday, fresh searches for Madeleine began in countryside a few miles from Praia da Luz, with firefighters spotted pumping water to drain a well. (Image: © 2025 PA Media, All Rights Reserved ) About a dozen officers focused on one abandoned building where digging was taking place, while another member of the search team cleared large rocks. The Daily Express reported that investigation teams have taken samples of potential evidence from properties near Praia Da Luz in Portugal. A man who knew Madeleine McCann prime suspect Christian Brueckner has made a dramatic appeal to police, claiming they are searching in the wrong place. Ken Ralphs told GB News that Brueckner's alleged accomplice once broke down in tears and confessed plans to help abduct a child in Praia de Luz. He said: "He cried that he needed the money to get out the country with his family and children and that's why he got involved." Mr Ralphs identified what he described as the last property Brueckner stayed in before Madeleine vanished – and urged investigators to focus there. Frustrated by years of inaction, he said: "For over 18 years, I've pressed the police and all they can do is blame each other for not passing this information on." The prime suspect Last year, Christian Brueckner was cleared of unrelated sexual offences between 2000 and 2017 (Image: Phil Harris ) Christian Brückner is serving a jail sentence in Germany after raping a 72-year-old American tourist in Portugal in 2005. He is due to be released later this year. He moved to Portugal in 1995 after serving a two-year prison sentence in Germany for sexually assaulting a six-year-old girl in 1994, he is known to have been renting a cottage in Praia da Luz at the time of Madeleine's disappearance. Soon after the media descended on the resort in 2007, he moved back to Germany. In October 2024, he was acquitted of two charges rape and two of sexual abuse in a German rape trial where it was argued there was a lack of evidence and witnesses who were not credible. Police have previously claimed he made a 30-minute phone call from the same area just an hour before Madeleine disappeared. He is alleged to have confessed on two occasions to kidnapping and sexually abusing the toddler - once to a friend in a German bar in 2017 and again to his prison cellmate in 2020. The German national was formally identified as a suspect in 2022, but has denied any involvement. He also denied committing the 2005 rape for which he was convicted of in 2019. Brückner has not been charged in the McCann case, but German authorities began investigating him in June 2020 for her kidnap and murder. German authorities maintain that he is the main suspect in Madeleine's disappearance and are pushing for charges before his scheduled release in September. Article continues below The last search The most recent search prior to this one was also executed by German police in spent a week searching the Barragem do Arade reservoir, around 30 miles from Praia da Luz, after receiving of a "tip-off". It was previously searched by divers in 2008 after Portuguese lawyer Marcos Aragao Correia ordered them to look to see if Madeleine McCann's body was there. Nothing was found.
