London was welcomed via surrogate, Hilton’s rep confirmed to The Associated Press on Friday.
Hilton’s aunt, “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kyle Richards, commented with pink heart emojis on the post, and supermodel Naomi Campbell offered her congratulations.

John Travolta reflects on near-death experience

John Travolta, pictured, is opening up about a plane mishap that left him thinking he was “going to die.”
While attending the London premiere for the Disney+ short The Shepherd — which tells the story of a Royal Air Force pilot who suffers total electrical failure — the Oscar winner, 69, spoke about how he too had previously “experienced a total electrical failure” while flying a plane, per Variety.
“I actually experienced a total electrical failure, not in a Vampire, but in a corporate jet over Washington DC,” Travolta, who has his own pilot’s license, said. “So when I read [Frederick Forsyth’s book of the same name], it resonated even more because of this experience I had personally had.”
“I knew what it felt like to absolutely think you’re going to die,” he added. “I had two good jet engines, but I had no instruments, no electric, nothing. And I thought it was over.” – People

Jenna Ortega drops out of ‘Scream VII’

One day after Spyglass fired star Melissa Barrera, pictured, from Scream VII, the latest installment of the horror movie series, it has been revealed that Jenna Ortega will also not be returning.
Losing the two main leads who were instrumental in revitalizing the aging franchise now puts its future in question. Christopher Landon remains on board as director — for now — but next steps for Spyglass remain unclear.
Sources insist that Ortega’s departure has nothing to do with Barrera’s firing, which occurred after she made dozens of social media posts referring to the Israel-Hamas war. Sources say that Ortega’s representatives informed Spyglass prior to the actors strike that the actress, one of the biggest young Hollywood names to emerge in the past decade, would not be returning. Multiple sources say the actress either had no deal or, in the renegotiating of her option, asked what the movie company deemed was too much money. Spyglass had previously declined to bring back original franchise star Neve Campbell after she had asked for a significant raise for Scream VI. (Campbell would later say, “I couldn’t walk on set … feeling undervalued.”) – The Hollywood Reporters

Jamie Foxx denies sexual assault incident

Jamie Foxx, pictured, is denying accusations made against him in a new lawsuit that alleges he sexually assaulted a woman at a New York City restaurant in 2015.
A spokesperson for the actor, 55, told PEOPLE in a statement, “The alleged incident never happened.”
“In 2020, this individual filed a nearly identical lawsuit in Brooklyn. That case was dismissed shortly thereafter,” they continued. “The claims are no more viable today than they were then. We are confident they will be dismissed again.”
“And once they are, Foxx intends to pursue a claim for malicious prosecution against this person and her attorneys for re-filing this frivolous action,” the spokesperson added.
The complaint against Foxx was filed in New York Supreme Court. Documents obtained by PEOPLE show the alleged victim, identified only as Jane Doe, alleged the incident in question took place in August 2015 at Catch NYC. – PEOPLE

Tiffany Haddish arrested for suspicion of DUI

Tiffany Haddish, pictured, was arrested over the weekend.
The 43-year-old was briefly taken into police custody, and subsequently released, on Nov. 24 on suspicion of driving under the influence after Beverly Hills police responded to a well-being check around 5.45 in the morning local time, per local outlet KTLA-TV. The Associated Press reported that police said Haddish was found slumped over her wheel asleep with the car engine still running.
The Haunted Mansion actress had performed at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood the night before.
E! News has reached out to a rep for Haddish as well as local authorities for comment and has not yet heard back.
This is the second-time the stand-up comedian has been arrested under similar circumstances. In January 2022, Haddish was arrested in Georgia after officers responded to a 911 call about a “driver asleep at the wheel” at about 2:30 am., per Georgia’s Peachtree Police Department.
“While en route, an officer observed a vehicle matching the description,” Assistant Chief of Police Matt Myers told E! News at the time, “and ultimately conducted a traffic stop as the vehicle pulled into the yard of a residence.”
Haddish was later transported to the Fayette County Jail where she made bail and was released from jail, per TMZ.
Shortly after the arrest, the Night School star addressed the matter during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. – E!News
