Beloved actor Henry Winkler is dyslexic, and when he appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show on Tuesday, he had a special message for Kelly’s daughter River, who has the same learning disorder.

Speaking with Winkler, who’s written many children’s books, Kelly mentioned that River, 8, is dyslexic. She said to Winkler, “You have told me that you’re dyslexic as well and I find that amazing to tell my daughter that you’ve written, like, 40 books, and you’re dyslexic, ’cause she was getting bullied at school for not being able to read like other kids.”

And Kelly added that when River learned how many other famous folks are also dyslexic — like Zachary Levi and Anthony Mackie, just to name a few — “It really empowered her that y’all are so open about it.”

Winkler then turned to the camera and addressed Kelly’s daughter directly: “River, how you learn has nothing to do with how brilliant you are!” 

Kelly immediately teared up as the audience applauded.

Yet another Winkler book, his memoir, Henry Winkler: The Fonz and Beyond, will be out this fall.

Jackson Dean recently performed his anthemic new single, “Fearless,” on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

Donning his signature black hat, Jackson brought his raspy vocals to the show as he sang, “‘Cause I’m fearless/ I’ll jump off the ledges/ Burn all the bridges, walk on the edges/ I’m fearless/ I don’t mind the shadows Take all the arrows, ride in the echoes/ And I don’t mind the night/ I don’t mind the fight, even if I lose/ I’ve got thick skin, I’ll dive in, I’m fearless/ Except when it comes to you.” 

The song was penned by the fast-rising newcomer alongside Luke Dick and Jonathan Scott Sherwood.

“Fearless” is featured on Jackson’s 2022 debut album, Greenbroke, as well as his recently released live record, Live at the Ryman.

Twisted Sister’s Dee Snider is thinking about breaking out his old makeup case. In a response to a tweet about Montana’s recent drag ban, Snider shared his desire to get back to his old Twisted Sister look.

The amended ruling bans “obscene performances” of “male or female performers who adopt flamboyant or parodic feminine personas with glamorous makeup and exaggerated costumes.” 

“You know I haven’t worn the Twisted Sister Makeup in many years,” Snider responded to the post, “but now I’m tempted to put it back on!”

Snider has already said that he plans to reunite Twisted Sister in 2024 for political rallies, especially since politicians keep using “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” but not in the way it was intended. This could mean the makeup will be back for those performances.

After urging the “true majority” of Americans to “fight back, push back, take control,” regarding the push for these bans, Snider shared a John Wick meme that read “People keep asking if I’m back. I’m starting to think I’m back.” He then noted, “I took off the @TwistedSisterny makeup more than a decade ago, but in light of the current stupidity in the USA it just might be time to start wearing it again!”

 GloRilla made her debut on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday, where she was accompanied by Lil Durk for a performance of “Ex’s (PHATNALL Remix).”

Ahead of the show, the two teamed for a photo, which was shared on both rappers’ socials. In Durk’s post, he gave fans an update on the follow-up to 7220, writing, “album done.”

Durk announced he was in album mode back in December, and has since been teasing fans with random details about what’s to come. “This album ain’t regular,” he wrote last month on his Instagram Story. Days later, he said he can “drop this single and f*** up the streets.”

It’s not clear when Durk’s album will drop, but there’s one collab he’d add if he gets the chance. 

“@Sza the goat y’all better not sleep or get blind every female every car every sale she really her… I need you on my album ASAP a hit not a regular song,” he previously wrote on Instagram. “Go tag SZA blow her shit down tell her Smurk need her.”

 It’s a fact: Meghan Trainor has no filter when it comes to her personal life. But her latest revelation might just make you forget her now-legendary “side-by-side toilets” story.

Speaking to People, the singer, who’s pregnant with her second child, reveals that during her first pregnancy, her husband Daryl Sabara shaved her legs when her belly got too big for her do it herself.  And he didn’t stop at her legs.

“He shaved everything,” Trainor tells People. “For the C-section [with my son Riley], I don’t know why, but I was like, ‘I want a clear path. I want nothing in the way, so make sure it’s gorgeous down there,’ so they could see everything. And he did that for me.”

And after Meghan had that C-section, she says, she had to wear diapers — so guess who changed them, and picked up her dirty underwear?

As Meghan notes, “Some husbands, some couples we talk to, they’re like, ‘He did what?’ And I’m like, ‘Well, how else would I get them up?’ I don’t get it. I’m like, ‘How do people survive without a Daryl?'”

Meghan says she’s now reached the point in her second pregnancy where she “can’t see…can’t reach…can’t bend,” but, she boasts that Daryl will “do anything for me…when I have to get up to pee, I say, ‘Push,’ and Daryl rolls me off [the bed].”

Despite those challenges, Meghan — whose book about pregnancy, birth and motherhood, Dear Future Mama arrives on April 25 — can’t wait to have more kids.

“I’m the best version of me. Each kid’s going to bring a new version of me that I think is going to be bada** — so I need four, at least!”
