Courtney Love has moved on from her feud with Dave Grohl — and she thinks everybody else should too.

The singer, 61, addressed past contention with the Foo Fighters frontman during a recent appearance on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast on Wednesday, April 1.

While talking about being bad-mouthed in the press, Love encouraged Grohl, 57, to "come out with it and just say we're cool."

"Be man enough to man up," she said, before alleging that the rocker is "afraid" he'd "lose [his] audience" if he were to publicly support Love, the widow of his Nirvana bandmate Kurt Cobain.

The former Hole frontwoman continued: "It would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base, if you will, stop picking on me. The millennials in particular. Gen Z is not picking on me anymore."

Corgan, for his part, noted that he's spent time with Grohl, and "can confirm that... Dave doesn't have any issue" with Love, who replied, "Say that to his base. It's so stupid."

She continued by pointing to the fact that Grohl has allegedly written several songs about her.

"I couldn't write a song about Dave Grohl to save my life," she said. "He's written like, four songs about me and they're hits. I'm like, wait what? Like, what about me? I don't get it."

A rep for Grohl did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Grohl wrote the 1995 song "I'll Stick Around" about Love for the Foo Fighters' self-titled debut album. The song features the lyrics, "I've been around all the pawns you've gagged and bound / They'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free." He confirmed in a 2009 book that the track was, in fact, about Love.

He also allegedly wrote the 2007 song "Let It Die" about her.

"[It's] a song that's written about feeling helpless to someone else's demise," he told the Guardian that year. "I've seen people lose it all to drugs and heartbreak and death. It's happened more than once in my life, but the one that's most noted is Kurt. And there are a lot of people that I've been angry with in my life, but the one that's most noted is Courtney. So it's pretty obvious to me that those correlations are gonna pop up every now and again."

The "Everlong" singer was one of just a few people to attend Love and Cobain's 1992 wedding. But after Cobain died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound in 1994, their friendship splintered.

Grohl publicly criticized Love's songwriting abilities in a 1999 interview with Howard Stern, per Far Out Magazine, and she later called him a "stupid motherf---er" in an interview with Spin, alleging that Cobain preferred playing with her band, Hole, more than Nirvana.

Love and Grohl were also engaged in a bitter legal battle over the rights to Nirvana's music, which ended in a 2002 settlement.

The two appeared to have mended fences by 2014, though, when they were seen hugging at Nirvana's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Shortly after, Love said on Jimmy Kimmel Live! that she and Grohl had "picked up where we left off after 20 years of suing each other."

"Me and Grohl, we're totally tight. And I mean look, if you can give up a grudge like that — because there was a lot of crap that went on — I think anyone can do it," she said.

Prince Harry's reputation has taken a blow after a series of flirtatious messages between him and UK journalist Charlotte Griffiths were revealed yesterday (March 31).

The development came as part of his ongoing privacy violation case against Associated Newspapers, which manages the publication Griffiths works for. The documents were presented at London's High Court.

The Prince reportedly nicknamed Griffiths "Sugar" and texted her about a cozy movie night, while she called him "Mr. Mischief" and referenced an adventurous weekend they had spent together.

Other exchanges showed the two yearning for each other, despite a source close to the Duke claiming he cut ties with Griffiths only hours after meeting her.

"There's a question about whether Harry lied to the court about his dealings with this reporter," a reader wrote. "The messages, the defense says, indicate a much more extensive relationship than Harry told the court."

Prince Harry sent his first message to Griffiths, a Daily Mail employee, on December 4, 2011, telling her, "It's H, in case u were confused by name and pictures!!! X."

Griffiths replied, "Hello, Mr Mischief… Did you get home OK? Slash, did you actually find your car, and did you beat Arthur down the motorway, more importantly?"

"Arthur" refers to Arthur Landon, the duo's mutual friend, at whose house party they met.

Griffiths added, "What a fun weekend of naughtiness — can't we all get up to no good in the countryside every weekend, da*n it. Smooches, CG Strings."

Image credits: Getty/David M. Benett

Prince Harry replied that it was one of the best weekends of his life. He added, "What a crowd. Never laughed so much in 24 hours."

He went on to inquire about the nickname Griffiths gave her in the following text, arguing he was "surely no worse than anyone else."

Just over ten days later, on December 15, Prince Harry texted the journalist saying she had missed a "good party last night."

Then, on January 22, 2012, Griffiths replied, saying she missed him at "Arthur's last week."

Prince Harry responded, "I wish I were there, Sugar, but unfortunately stuck in Cornwall doing Army stuff." He went on: "Miss our movie snuggles. I'm off communication all week in case u think I'm being rude. Keep me posted."

The extensive conversation between the two contradicts The Daily Beast's report, which cited a source claiming that Prince Harry severed ties with Griffiths after learning she was a journalist.

"Suing Daily Mail backfired," many social media users joked after the chats made headlines.

Associated Newspapers were accused by Prince Harry of unlawful activities ranging from hacking voicemail messages and bugging landlines to obtaining private information by deception in January 2026.

He was joined in the lawsuit by high-profile figures such as Elton John, David Furnish, Liz Hurley, Sadie Frost, Sir Simon Hughes, and Baroness Doreen Lawrence.

The publisher rejected the case as being "preposterous smears."

Over almost ten weeks of argument, Judge Matthew Nicklin heard evidence from the claimants and from numerous current and former senior journalists at Associated.

David Sherborne, the lawyer representing Prince Harry and others, said there was a culture at the publisher where journalists used private investigators to obtain information for them.

The defendant's lawyer, meanwhile, argued there was no evidence to back up the allegations.

At the end of the trial, on the final day of last month, Nicklin said, "The remaining task is, of course, now mine."

The judge added that he would be "toiling away on judgment" full-time after Easter but did not indicate how long the task might take.

Amid his chat with Griffiths becoming public, netizens stood by Prince Harry and asked for attention to shift to ex-Prince Andrew

"Nice try, but we like Prince Harry, and these texts are from a decade ago when he was single," one wrote, while another added, "Can I just say he comes across as a very pleasant guy in the texts."

"Can we please read Andrew and Epstein's emails? That's where the real crimes lie," a third remarked.

"Let's talk about the other royal who has not been prosecuted yet," another commented.

King Charles's younger brother, Andrew, was stripped of his royal titles in October 2025 over his connection with the late disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

At the time, Buckingham Palace also said he would move out of his official residence, the Royal Lodge in Norfolk, in early 2026.

When a picture of Andrew hovering over a woman on all fours was released as part of the Epstein Files made public by the US Department of Justice in January, the former royal faced immediate consequences, with King Charles reportedly rushing his eviction.

The monarch had assured, via a statement in February, that the law would "take its course" in the Andrew-Epstein case.

However, no significant progress has been made so far, except for a brief arrest of his brother the same month on suspicion of sharing confidential government reports with Epstein.

"Snuggle buddy?" Netizens took to social media to share their thoughts on the messages

Jenna Bush Hager April Fools on the Today Show

No one's safe on April Fools Day — not even the person pulling the prank.

Jenna Bush Hager learned this lesson the hard way after attempting to pull a fast one on guest cohost Willie Geist during the April 1 broadcast of* Today with Jenna & Sheinelle. *During the Wednesday morning segment, Hager, Geist, and editor Arianna Davis were running down a list of trending topics when they turned their attention to an (allegedly) viral cake that people have been shilling out thousands of dollars to get their hands on.

But what Geist didn't know is that *Today* made up the "famous" cake and its bakery.

"We've got to talk about this viral cake that's being walked in, very carefully," Geist said as *Today* culinary producer Katie Stilo carefully walked out with the intricate two-layer cake, topped with macaroons, strawberries, gold flakes and caviar.

"This is a $20,000 cake," Davis told the live studio audience. "It is all the rage right now on the internet, because they only make one of these every single day."

As Davis spoke, Stilo motioned for Hager to lend her a hand, pretending to struggle over the cake's weight. Jenna helpfully jumped up and took the platter in both hands — before dropping the cake in its entirety.

"Oh my gosh," Jenna exclaimed, as the cake flopped on the ground. Making matters more dramatic — and tragic — Jenna immediately slipped on some of the spilled frosting, barely catching herself on a nearby chair.

Behind the camera, crew members, and the audience members snickered.

The prank did succeed in shocking Geist, whose jaw fell open when Hager fell. But immediately, he schooled his expression into a look of suspicion.

"Well, there goes the one cake," Davis laughed. "$20,000, Jenna."

But Geist was already onto them and leaned down to help Hager up before declaring, "April Fools!"

He then commended Hager on her commitment, adding, "Good job."

"You knew?" she asked

"Only after you went down," Geist replied.

"Well, I did get it all over my shoes. I really committed," Hager said, confirming that her icing mishap was not part of the plan. "The fall was real. We tried to trick Willie."

"The commitment from Jenna Bush Hager to take this spill for the cause," Willie later said, requesting a slow-motion replay. "Can we see that one more time?"

Geist admitted that prior to the fall, he truly believed that a trendy $20,000 cake had arrived on the scene, noting, "Upstairs, I was like, 'You know, it's a crazy world out there, someone's going to buy that for their wedding. Maybe it's real.' I was locked in until you went down."

Apologizing to the crew for the prank's failure, Jenna turned to where the show's next guest, Sharon Stone, was waiting in the wings, quipping, "I'm so embarrassed. You want some caviar?"

Hager added, "Sharon, please don't judge us."

Eugene Mirman, the comedian who's voiced the character of Gene Belcher on the animated Fox series *Bob's Burgers *since it debuted in 2011, was trapped in a burning vehicle Tuesday in Bedford, N.H.

The New Hampshire Division of State Police explained in a news release that the 2026 Lucid Gravity that Mirman was driving struck the Bedford Toll Plaza on the F.E. Everett Turnpike. Witnesses called 911 reporting that the vehicle was on fire with a person trapped inside.

State troopers responded to the incident at 11:55 a.m.

Mirman was pulled through a window of the burning car by a state trooper assigned to New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte's security detail, who happened to come across the crash.

Officials said the 51-year-old Mirman, who they referred to by his birth name of Yevgeny, was taken to a hospital with serious injuries.

"Certainly, their actions were heroic in what they did," Hall said. "Without hesitation, they put themselves in danger to render aid to someone who was in need of it."

No charges have been filed in the incident, which continues to be investigated.

- *The Valley* season 3 premieres Wednesday, April 1, on Bravo.

- Original cast member Jax Taylor will not be returning after separating from Brittany Cartwright.

- New cast members include Tom Schwartz, Lala Kent, and Lacy Nicole.

*The Valley* is a *Vanderpump Rules* spinoff following several alums of the beloved Bravo reality series as they build lives beyond the walls of restaurant SUR. When its third season debuts on April 1, though, the sun-soaked drama will be missing one of its foundational characters.

Jax Taylor, the controversial and hot-headed bartender-turned-bar-owner who helped turn *VPR* into must-watch television, will not appear in season 3 of *The Valley*. This likely won't come as much of a surprise to fans, as Taylor's journey has been a rocky one from the start.

Just before *The Valley*'s 2024 premiere, it was revealed that Taylor and Brittany Cartwright were separating after six years of marriage. As such, the first season unfolded like a slow-motion car crash, with in-the-know fans watching the slow dissolution of their union.

Season 2 proved to be even messier, with Cartwright angling for a divorce as Taylor voluntarily checked into a rehab facility for substance abuse issues, particularly with cocaine. Through it all, arguments abounded over the divorce, their finances, and the custody of their son, Cruz.

So, why isn't Taylor returning for season 3 of *The Valley*? Here's what we know.

Why isn't Jax Taylor in The Valley season 3?

On July 16, 2025, roughly a week before *The Valley*'s season 2 finale, Taylor announced he wouldn't be returning for the show's third season. "Right now, my focus needs to be on my sobriety, my mental health, and coparenting relationship," he said in a statement. "Taking this time is necessary for me to become the best version of myself — especially for our son, Cruz."

A source told PEOPLE at the time that the cast was "blindsided" by Taylor's departure. Cartwright, meanwhile, told host Andy Cohen six days later on *Watch What Happens Live* that she "found out the night before" and thought it was a "great decision." Cartwright described their relationship as "horrible," saying there was "no trust whatsoever" between them.

***Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with our ******EW Dispatch newsletter******.***

Cohen revealed on his radio show, *Andy Cohen Live*, that he, too, agreed with Taylor's decision, citing the star's "need for control and his anger issues."

He added, "I hope he takes the time to lean into this, away from the cameras."

Bravo fan Seth Rogen weighs in on Jax Taylor's exit from 'The Valley': 'F---ing a--hole'

Taylor, however, is keeping the door open for a return. "This is not goodbye, this is just a pause on things," he said on a July 2025 episode of his podcast, *In the Mind of Jax*. "The more I talk about it with everybody, it just didn't seem to make a lot of sense for me to walk right back into filming. I just don't see a world where it makes sense for me to walk back into a dynamic like that."

Cartwright doesn't appear particularly eager to share the screen with him again. During a BravoCon panel in November, she declared he would "absolutely not" appear in season 3, and told *Entertainment Tonight* that the news of his departure came as a "big relief."

She also addresses his absence in the season 3 trailer. "Now that Jax is gone, I am finally getting my sparkle back," she declares.

Are Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright divorced?

Not officially. Cartwright filed for divorce in August 2024 and, as of this writing, the process is still ongoing.

The good news is that, as of March 2026, the pair finalized a custody agreement for Cruz. As PEOPLE reports, the couple will share joint legal custody and physical custody. They will also work together regarding the child's health, education, and general welfare, and promise not to "speak badly of each other in front of their son."

Who's joining The Valley season 3?

Looking to fill the vacuum left behind by Taylor, *The Valley* is bringing on *VPR* alums Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz as full-time cast members. Both have appeared in previous seasons of *The Valley*.

Also joining the crew is Lacy Nicole, the girlfriend of Jesse Lally. Lally's split from ex-wife Michelle Saniei was a major storyline in season 2.

Where can I watch The Valley?

*The Valley* airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Bravo, and streams the following day on Peacock.
