Stephen A. Smith came to the defense of fellow journalist Don Lemon, who was arrested this week.

Lemon was charged in Los Angeles Friday afternoon on allegations of conspiring to violate someone's constitutional rights and alleged FACE Act violations.

Lemon's arrest comes more than a week after he joined a group of anti-ICE protesters who interrupted a church service at Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota, where an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) official serves as a pastor.

The group of protesters chanted "ICE out," interrupting the service, according to video footage.

Lemon, an independent journalist, said he had been attending the demonstration as a reporter, not as a protester. In a video posted to his YouTube channel, Lemon remarked, "I'm just here photographing, I'm not part of the group. … I'm a journalist."

The ESPN host said since Lemon was there as a member of the press, his arrest violates the First Amendment.

"Whether you like it or not, Don Lemon is a member of the press. Don Lemon has been in journalism for 30 years. Don Lemon worked at CNN for 17 years. And just because you don't have a specific organization that you're working for, that's where the word independence comes from. It doesn't mean that your journalism credentials are stripped," Smith said. "Not when you've been doing it for decades like him.

Don Lemon livestreamed left-wing agitators who stormed St. Paul's Cities Church under the suspicion that its pastor had collaborated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

"This is straight BS what he's going through. I'm a member of the press too. And ain't no way in hell anyone in the field of journalism shouldn't be supporting Don Lemon today. And that's including anyone on the right. Anybody in journalism.

"I'm not saying it was wise, I'm not saying I would have done it. I'm not saying he should have walked into a church to do interviews and stuff like that for a couple of minutes. But it don't warrant this. You support this, you don't support the First Amendment. You don't support freedom of the press."

Lemon has hired Hunter Biden's attorney, Abbe Lowell. Lowell said Friday that Lemon had been attending the demonstration in a reporting capacity and not as a demonstrator.

"Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy Awards," Lowell said in a statement.

"Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done."

Lemon's arrest comes as Minnesota has emerged as a flashpoint for immigration protesters in recent weeks, including in the aftermath of the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti.

Don Lemon arrives at THR's Empowerment in Entertainment Gala at Milk Studios April 30, 2019, in Los Angeles.

President Donald Trump earlier this week signaled that the administration is willing to "de-escalate" tensions in Minnesota, though further details on that process remain unclear.

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Harry Styles's collection of vintage T-shirts is expansive. Over the years, the star has accumulated a closet full of concert tees and kitschy statements alike, with highlights including a 1992 "I can't even think straight" design, a Sesame Street Elmo short sleeve, and an "Anxiety Has Many Faces" Xanax ad. And that's just to name a few.

Over the summer, the "As it Was" artist made a surprise appearance at Glastonbury, watching from the crowd in a Parliament Motor Booty Affair long sleeve and his signature tiny short shorts—perfect for the late-June summer. Now, seven months later, Styles has pulled the band tee back out, giving it a January revamp.

Spot - BACKGRID

Stepping out for a coffee date with Zoë Kravitz, the artist tucked the 1978 album T-shirt into mid-rise slouchy gray trousers for a refined yet casual feel. He paired the look with black Thistles sunglasses and sipped on an iced beverage as he led the way out of the café.

Behind him, his beau rewore one of her own go-to pieces: a simple Coucou Intimates cami. She layered the white tank with a tan jacket and styled the pieces with blue straight-leg pants from The Row.

In the months between the festival and yesterday's date, Styles had quite a busy half year—not only embarking on his whirlwind romance with Zoë Kravitz, but also announcing his forthcoming album Kiss All the Time. Disco, Occasionally, releasing the project's lead single "Aperture," and gearing up for a hosting spot at the 2026 Grammys.

In January 2026, pop singer Madison Beer spoke to Interview Magazine about her thoughts on the viral "2026 is the new 2016" nostalgia trend

While many are revisiting fashion, music and social media moments from that era, Beer said she prefers to focus on the present

The 26-year-old also revealed what she wishes she had done more of a decade ago

Madison Beer has spent more than half her life in the spotlight, building a devoted fan base while growing up online.

Now 26 and riding the creative wave of her latest album Locket, she's sounding off on one of social media's newest obsessions – the idea that "2026 is the new 2016."

"I've seen it," Beer told Interview Magazine. "I definitely feel way better in my life now than I did then."

The trend itself has seen wide participation from celebrities and influencers alike, with stars like Charlie Puth sharing throwbacks to his 2016 hits and Hailey Bieber reposting decade-old pictures.

While many remember 2016 as a carefree time before today's ultra‑curated digital culture, Beer admitted that she doesn't feel drawn to relive the period herself.

"There are nostalgic moments from 2016, the music and the Snapchat filters and the Mannequin Challenge and whatever, all that stuff that I think is really funny," she said. "But as someone who did not have the best time in my teenage years, I definitely prefer to stay in the now, honestly."

Still, Beer played along when asked what she might have kept from that era, joking that some old clothes from when she was 17 would have been worth holding onto.

"Maybe some clothes, because I feel like a lot of clothes are coming back in style that were popular then," she said.

The "Bittersweet" singer also reflected on what she might have done differently back in 2016, surprisingly pointing to her relationship with her younger brother.

"I probably would've hung out with my little brother more because, I don't know, when we were teenagers, he used to really annoy me and now we're best friends," she shared. "But other than that, nothing."

Beer rose to fame at just 13 years old after Justin Bieber tweeted a link to her YouTube cover of Etta James' "At Last."

In an April 2025 interview with Elle, Beer reflected on getting her start in the industry at such a young age, noting that, nowadays, she doesn't think her "story would happen, in the sense of how I was mistreated."

"But in 2012, things were different. I didn't feel protected, and I didn't feel like people approached judging me like they were judging a 14-year-old," she shared. "It forced me to grow up really fast, and it messed me up in a lot of ways. I've hopefully recovered a bit by now."

Carly Pearce opens up to PEOPLE about entering her bold musical era — and what that looks like

"I want to be unapologetic in all things," she says

Pearce released her latest single "Church Girl" on Jan. 23

As Carly Pearce enters her new musical era, the country singer has one goal in mind: she wants to be bold.

Speaking with PEOPLE about her latest single "Church Girl," which will be featured on her upcoming fifth studio album, Pearce says it's indicative of the many ways in which she challenged herself when she was writing the record.

"I keep saying to everyone, be bold. I want to be bold, and I want to be unapologetic in all things," Pearce, 35, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

"It looks like leading a new music cycle with two songs that you don't really hear people talk about. You don't hear people talk about church shame... Especially in country music, being a Christian," she continues. "And you don't hear people talk about the not so pretty parts of being in the spotlight. I don't even want to call it fame, just living in front of people."

On "Church Girl," Pearce contemplates her relationship with religion — and questions its "double standards." Meanwhile, on "Dream Come True," which she released in November, Pearce contemplates the price of fame.

When she sat down to write these songs, she challenged herself to share a different point of view.

"[I wrote 'Dream Come True'] out of necessity, I think I had to write that song. And what that song did... It made me realize that I needed to return back to the original dream," she says. "What was the dream that I had as a little girl? I moved here 17 years ago this year. Why?"

In the process, Pearce found her spark again and was able to focus on what really mattered: the music.

"I do believe it's my purpose in life to be a singer. I know that this is, not to sound corny, but it's my destiny," she says.

"But I will tell you, yes, of course there are moments where I'm like, I can't take it anymore, it's so hard," she adds. "It's hard sometimes, and it's hard to have your life on display, and have people write about it. They get some of it right and some of it wrong... People are just mean."

She concludes, "So, I've really focused on trying to untwist some of that for myself and go back to the music. I've made my best music and my favorite music I've ever made."

Now, Pearce finds joy in her life outside of work too — and she says it's "painfully normal."

"I go to a workout class with the girls in the cul-de-sac from 'Dream Come True,' we go to workout classes together. I love to grocery shop. I love my dogs. I am so normal, and I love it. I live a very simple life," she says. "I sometimes forget, people come up to me and be like, 'I love your music,' and I'm like, 'Oh, thank you.' I don't live for the show."

She continues, "I've really worked hard on my mental health last year. It got not great... I don't think you write a song like 'Dream Come True' if you're mentally totally cool. But what that did is it gave me an opportunity to grow. And so, the vision board this year, it's much less angst and more just... I have true goals, and I have intention, and I feel very full in my life right now."

The 2013 Image Comics series Sex Criminals, written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Chip Zdarsky, ran for 31 issues for six volumes and is now receiving a television treatment at Amazon's Prime Video.

To pen the scripts about strangers who can stop time during sex, Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, the writers of The Big Sick, along with Tze Chun has been onboarded.

Mar (Mar)

The loglines for comics read: "Suzie's a normal girl with an extraordinary ability: when she has sex, she stops time. One night, she meets John... who has the same gift. And so they do what any other sex-having, time-stopping, couple would do: they rob banks."

Along with Gordon and Nanjiani, Dani Melia will serve as executive producer, whereas Margot Robbie's company, LuckyChap, will be involved in production. There has been no confirmed cast yet, but Nanjiani stars as the male lead.

"Sex Criminals is the exact kind of thing Winter Coat aims to bring to life: love stories in weird places," Gordon and Nanjiani said in a statement. "From the moment LuckyChap brought us Matt and Chip's comic book, we knew we wanted to bring these characters to screen and are so excited to do that alongside Tze Chun and Prime Video."

In a resurfaced interview from the podcast Still Here Hollywood With Steve Kmetko, actress Amy Yasbeck is sharing a little-known story that longtime Three's Company fans may find especially meaningful—a brief, unexpected reunion between her late husband John Ritter and his former co-star Suzanne Somers, who left Three's Company over a reported salary dispute.

The moment unfolded during a Broadway night out at Victor/Victoria. During intermission, Yasbeck ran into Somers in the ladies' room and introduced herself, then told Somers she would "make sure" Ritter said hi at the after-party where Somers was performing.

Back at her seat, Yasbeck decided to give Ritter a heads-up. "I went back to my seat, and I said… 'John, who's the last person you would want to see here?'" His first guess missed the mark. "He went, 'Oh s--t Bochco's here?' … I went, 'No, Suzanne.'"

Yasbeck remembers Ritter physically reacting to the news. "He just like, sat down… he was like, OK." Though he stayed through the rest of the show, the possibility of a reunion clearly lingered.

'Can't Dance, Don't Ask Me'

Later that night, Somers performed "Can't Dance, Don't Ask Me" at the after-party, and Yasbeck says the song became an opening. "I think he went up to her—she was talking to somebody—and he said, 'Can't dance, don't ask me,' And he like, turned around and they hugged it out and stuff, which was great. It was a big thing."

Looking back, Yasbeck is careful to downplay any intentional reconciliation. "I didn't do it a sneaky way," she said, adding, "I think they were great together. But I don't think they ever maybe 'got' each other, like where each other was coming from [after Somers left the show]…John wasn't able to—he didn't ever want to talk about it."

Instead, Ritter chose grace. "He didn't want to refute anything that Suzanne was saying or get into any kind of a weird thing," Yasbeck said. "He just loved her, you know?"

Both Ritter and Somers have since died. Ritter died unexpectedly in September 2003 at the age of just 54 from an undiagnosed aortic dissection while starring on the sitcom8 Simple Rules opposite Katey Sagal and Kaley Cuoco. Somers died 20 years later at the age of 76 after a long battle with breast cancer.

"It was sad when she passed. It was sad when John passed away," Yasbeck reflected. "Because that's then 20 years [lost]. Lost for like a friendship or any kind of furthering of a reunion. But she was great. She was a great, super strong woman and did a lot in also being her own health advocate. So, I thought she was cool."

Of the several rumoured Game of Thrones spinoff projects, many never saw the light of day, some were axed after being caught in development hell, some made it to screens with roaring success, and others got lost in the abyss. Now, rumblings have begun about an animated spinoff.

According to a Deadline report citing HBO and HBO Max content CEO Casey Bloys, work has begun on the long-gestating series 9 Voyages, revolving around the adventures of Lord Corlys Velaryon, aka The Sea Snake. For reference, we have already met the live-action version of the character in House of the Dragon, played by Steve Toussaint.

H (H)

The report read: "HBO has developed a slew of other offshoots, with a number being rumored to be currently in the works, including a Jon Snow and Arya Stark sequel written by Quoc Dang Tran; an animated Sea Snake project Nine Voyages, with Genndy Tartakovsky said to be attached, as well as 10,000 Ships written by Eboni Booth and Aegon's Conquest penned by Mattson Tomlin,"

While conversation swirls around an Arya Stark spinoff, HBO hasn't provided any official confirmation yet. As for the Jon Snow spinoff, Kit Harrington has previously admitted there wasn't a right story to tell about Snow: "Currently, it's off the table, because we all couldn't find the right story to tell that we were all excited about enough," he told ScreenRant.
