Going hand in hand with wedding season, which is well underway, is the search for the perfect engagement ring. And while they’re likely out of your budget, who can resist looking to over-the-top celebrity engagement rings for a little inspo?

According to data compiled by jewelry brand Mark Broumand, Megan Fox‘s ring gets the most monthly Google searches. The “Toi et Moi” (“you and me”) ring Machine Gun Kelly chose for his beloved garnered 31,200 monthly searches worldwide. The sparkler consists of “two separate interlocking bands held together by a magnet,” the company says.

“One band holds a pear-shaped diamond, the other a pear-shaped untreated Colombian emerald, with both gems sitting on 18 karats of white gold pavè set,” in case you need to tell your significant other.

Coming in second place was the second engagement ring Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez. With an average of 20,350 monthly searches, the sparkler is estimated to cost up to $10 million.

For daydreaming purposes, the center stone is an 8.5 carat, cushion-cut green diamond — the second-most rare type on the planet. “White baguette cut diamonds flank the green diamond, and these are sandwiched between two further trapezoid shaped diamonds,” according to Mark Broumand.

Third place belongs to Kourtney Kardashian, whose 12-carat oval-shaped diamond ring from Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker gets an average of 12,300 monthly searches.

Fourth on the list is Meghan Markle’s engagement ring from Prince Harry, getting an average of 11,500 monthly searches. Harry designed the ring, which features three diamonds, including two diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection. Meghan reportedly had the band redesigned.

Rounding out the top five is Hailey Bieber‘s ring from Justin. Her oval-shaped diamond ring, said to be up to 10 carats, gets 9,600 monthly searches.

The close of the first chapter of Disney+’s latest Star Wars show, Ahsoka, ends with the words, “For our friend, Ray,” memorializing co-star Ray Stevenson.

The veteran character actor, who also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, had already wrapped playing fallen Jedi Baylan Skoll when he died in May at an Italian hospital.

Stevenson, 58, was working on a film project in the country at the time.

Ahead of the SAG-AFTRA strike, Ahsoka lead Rosario Dawson told People that while her character crossed lightsabers with his, she found the actor’s performance “really beautiful and so thoughtful.”

She described him as an “almost, like, Nordic kind of man, you know, who was very heavy-handed — and then just like the most gentle, brilliant, like loving divine feminine spirit.”

The pair talked off camera about crystals and spirituality, she adds.

Dawson expressed, “We were so blessed to have him working with us. He made all of us better.”

A New Mexico judge has denied motions filed by Alec Baldwin to dismiss a civil suit filed by Rust crew members. They allege that the actor-producer cut corners on safety and skipped related training before he mortally wounded cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza during a 2021 rehearsal on the set of the Western movie.

The original motions were filed by Baldwin and El Dorado Pictures to dismiss the lawsuit, along with a motion by Baldwin to stay the civil action pending resolution of criminal proceedings.

The plaintiffs filing the lawsuit are three members of the film crew — Ross Addiego, Doran Curtin and Reese Price — who were employed as contractors, according to the suit.

Addiego was responsible for building and operating mechanisms for camera movement. Curtin was responsible for overseeing costumes and accessories. Price was responsible for non-electric support gear and the direction of the crew in the rigging department, according to court documents, the lawsuit said.

Baldwin was practicing a cross-draw when the Colt-style revolver he was holding discharged, striking Hutchins and Souza. The film’s director suffered a non-life-threatening injury.

Hutchins was transported via helicopter to the University of New Mexico Hospital in critical condition and later died from her injuries, the sheriff’s office said at the time.

Criminal charges brought against Baldwin were dropped in April. Baldwin, 65, had been charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death.

The film’s set armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, is charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in Hutchins’ death. She was additionally charged with tampering with evidence in June.

Netflix has revealed the official teaser to the animated movie Leo, which has Adam Sandler voicing a school’s pet lizard who’s dreaming of a grand adventure.

“Another year, another batch of fifth-grade headcases,” Bill Burr says as Leo’s tank-mate over the decades, a turtle.

“I dunno, I got a feeling this year’s gonna be different. Something big is gonna happen,” the jaded, 74-year-old Leo predicts, before the teaser cuts to Leo’s adventure in the world outside their tank, which includes being confronted by alligators, riding on a drone and getting a manicure.

“Ah, you say that every year,” his turtle pal says, bringing Leo back to school.

According to Netflix, “When [Leo] learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher. It ends up being the strangest but most rewarding bucket list ever…”

The project from Emmy-winning writer Robert Smigel also features the voices of Seinfeld‘s Jason Alexander, Oscar nominee Stephanie Hsu, SNL vets Rob Schneider and Heidi Gardner, comedian-actors Nick Swardson and Jo Koy as well as Sandler’s wife, Jackie, and their daughters, Sadie and Sunny.

Camila Alves McConaughey explains that while she has “the most amazing relationship” with Matthew McConaughey‘s mom, Mary Kathleen McCabe, things weren’t always all right, all right, all right.

In a conversation on Southern Living‘s Biscuits & Jam podcast, Camila revealed, “[W]hen I first came in the picture…she was really testing me. I mean, really testing me. She would call me by all of Matthew’s ex-girlfriends’ names, she would start speaking Spanish with me in a very broken way, kind of putting down a bit. I mean, all kinds of stuff.”

Camila then decided to take her future mother-in-law with her on a modeling shoot in Istanbul. “The whole way there…she was…putting all these things in my head. Enough that, when we landed, I was like, ‘Okay, all right. Let me buckle up. Let me get ready for this situation.'”

By the third day, Camila says Mary confided in her about a certain private matter and broke down crying.

“And I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh!’ You know, ‘Ma Mac!’ and feeling so sorry. And as I put her to bed, I look at her and I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh. She’s full of s***,'” Alves recalls, laughing.

“So I just flip it on her and brought my spicy Brazilian, Latin side, and I let her have it. So I went back at
her, and we had it back and forth, back and forth. And then at the end, she just looked at me and she
was like, ‘Okay. Now you’re in,'” Alves laughs.

“All she wanted was for me to fight back. And then from that…night on, we have the most amazing relationship…,” adding with a laugh that it can “get tricky sometimes…But we always end with a good laugh and a joke.”

“If I have forgotten to return your calls, I’ve had extreme memory loss,” Lattanzi began. “I’ve had difficulty getting out of bed.” She added, “I’ve been neglecting myself.”

“One of my mom’s biggest messages was take care of you,” she said. “If you don’t take care of you, you cannot give your full capacity of love, wisdom, kindness, and power to everyone else.”

Lattanzi, who said she is planning on participating in Olivia’s Walk for Wellness — an annual 5K event in Melbourne, Australia, aimed at supporting those with cancer — said she will “disappear for about three weeks just to honor my mind, body, and spirit” following the Oct. 8 event.

“I’m developing a little bit of health issues in my mind and my body,” she said. “I just wanted to say to anyone who I have been inconsistent with, I’m so sorry….I haven’t been taking care of myself.”

“So, in the spirit of my mother and the spirit of the wellness walk, I’m going to take a month to do that so I can be of complete service to everyone else,” she added. “If you needed this reminder, I hope it was helpful.”

In a second video, Lattanzi thanked her followers for their support.

“Not many people are as blessed as I [am] to receive the kind of support that I am privileged enough to receive,” she said. “Thank you to all of you.”
