In Beijing in 2008, he set the record for winning the most gold medals (eight) in one Games. KERRI’S TENACITY Who could forget the image of Kerri Strug being carried to the medals ceremony by coach Béla Károlyi at the 1996 Atlanta Games?

HGTV’s Christina 3 DIVORCES IN 6 YEARS It’s another flop for former Flip or Flop star Christina Hall. Four months after Josh Hall declared on Instagram that he and Christina were “still going strong,” the pair, who married in October 2021, have filed for divorce. In paperwork submitted in Orange County, Calif., the HGTV stars cited “irreconcilable differences” as the cause of their split. “The feeling is that Christina rushed into this marriage without thinking it through,” an insider tells In Touch. “She follows her heart, obviously, and it always seems to end in heartbreak.” This is the third divorce for the 41-year-old, who was previously married to her Flip or Flop co-star Tarek El Moussa, dad to her two older kids, from 2009 to 2018, and went through a…

In May — a decade after vanishing from the public eye — Richard Simmons hinted he was poised to make his comeback. “I just got off the phone with a friend who manages famous artists in music,” the beloved fitness guru shared. “She wants to do an interactive Broadway show about my life. I am so excited about the prospect of my own Broadway show. Broadway is in my blood!” After years of dodging the spotlight, an insider told In Touch at the time, Richard was “finally ready for his second act.” Less than two months later, he was dead. Richard’s lifeless body was discovered, reportedly by his housekeeper, inside his LA home on July 13 — the morning after he celebrated his 76th birthday. His death is currently under…

The wildest rumor of the summer so far involved Gwyneth Paltrow and Derek Blasberg, a writer and fashion industry personality who’s good friends with countless members of the Hollywood elite. Derek was named as the mystery celeb who allegedly fled one of Gwyneth’s homes after wrecking the place with an outrageously messy bowel movement. But now an even juicier rumor is making the rounds, not only in Hollywood but also in Washington, D.C. “The goss is… Michelle and Barack [Obama] are living separate lives, and Barack is f—ing Jennifer Aniston,” Lindsey Weber spilled while co-hosting a recent Who? Weekly podcast. Lindsey went on to share that “reliable sources” have been spreading the claim, though she acknowledged it “obviously could be made up.” In Touch can reveal what’s really going on.…

ON FIRE It was 95 degrees in NYC on July 8, but you’d never know that based on Rita Ora’s bundled-up Rowen Rose look. NOT COAT WEATHER Hailey Bieber ignored the NYC heat advisory on June 22, rocking a catsuit and oversize leather trench in scorching 93-degree weather. UNTIMELY TWEED Avril Lavigne wore this heavy Tamara Ralph Couture ensemble on a balmy 84-degree day in Paris on June 24. Why she gotta go and make things so complicated, right?! HEAVY LAYERS A croc-embossed skirt, turtleneck and stockings? Kerry Washington looks très chic in Balenciaga while in Paris — but we wish she’d saved this outfit for a brisk fall day and not 88 degrees on June 26.…

“London & Amsterdam, a time was had,” Brittany Mahomes reports of her and husband Patrick Mahomes’ recent double date in Europe with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce. (The singer took the stage for four nights at London’s Wembley Stadium from June 20 to 23, and performed for three nights in Amsterdam.) “Taylor and Brittany have gotten super close. It wouldn’t be a surprise if Taylor and Travis were asked to be the godparents,” says an insider, referring to Brittany’s recent announcement that she is expecting her third child with Patrick.…

Usually at Wimbledon all eyes are on Centre Court. But on July 14, when Carlos Alcaraz of Spain faced off against Novak Djokovic of Serbia, heads were turned toward the royal box as Princess Kate, her daughter, Princess Charlotte, and Kate’s sister, Pippa Middleton, took their seats. Then, in a moment that gave the crowd — not to mention the millions of viewers at home — goose bumps, the Princess of Wales got a standing ovation. “She just lit up with a smile and waved to everyone. She was so moved,” says an eyewitness. “It was the moment the world had been waiting for.” MIRACLE COMEBACK This was only Kate’s second public appearance since she announced in March that she is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. Kate, 42, who has not…

I never thought I’d end up with a famous person,” says Taylor Lautner’s wife, Tay, a registered nurse who was set up with the Twilight actor by his sister. Tay isn’t complaining, especially in light of some of the fringe benefits that come with being married to a star. “Obviously, there are fun things we get to do that I’m so thankful for,” says the 27-year-old, adding that sitting courtside at a New York Knicks game was one highlight. Adds Taylor with a laugh: “If I’m speaking on your behalf, the coolest thing was maybe being on the set of a certain music video.” (Last July, Taylor, 32, starred in ex Taylor Swift’s “I Can See You” video.) Here, the couple and co-hosts of The Squeeze podcast talk to In…

TAYLOR TOMLINSON: “The winner of this year’s World’s Ugliest Dog contest is Wild Thang. He has competed five times, but this is his first win. It’s inspiring — it reminds everyone that there’s always next year to get uglier.” PAUL LANDER: “Bronny James went to his dad LeBron’s Lakers in the NBA Draft. Looks like every day is now ‘take your kid to work day’ for the Lakers.” STEPHEN COLBERT: “Mountain Dew has three new Americathemed flavors, including Liberty Chill, which is a blend of 50 flavors that mix together to give it a blue hue.
