Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry was absent from the Miss Universe competition on Nov. 20, one day after being hospitalized for injuries sustained when she fell off the stage during the preliminary evening gown round. Videos show the 28-year-old slipping off a step while walking in an orange gown and heels and later being taken out on a stretcher.

Miss Universe owner Raul Rocha confirmed she has no broken bones and is receiving proper care. The Miss Universe Jamaica organization added that Henry was taken to Paolo Rangsit Hospital in Thailand, where doctors say her injuries are not life-threatening but further tests are underway.

Her accident comes amid other turbulence for the pageant, including multiple judges resigning this week over alleged issues with the selection process.

Mary Steenburgen is looking back on her funniest memories from filming the 2003 holiday classic Elf. In a new Today interview, she said the spaghetti scene — where Buddy the Elf serves her pasta covered in candy, chocolate, and maple syrup — was one she’ll never forget.

Steenburgen admitted she “actually did eat it,” though it wasn’t exactly her favorite meal. She also recalled repeatedly breaking character as Will Ferrell chugged soda and appeared on set in his now-iconic elf costume.

Speaking to PEOPLE for the film’s 20th anniversary, Steenburgen said she, Ferrell and the late James Caan often ruined takes from laughing so hard, noting that none of them were prepared for how absurd — or unforgettable — the scene would become.

At the New York City premiere of Wicked: For Good, Ethan Slater applauded girlfriend Ariana Grande’s work in the film, calling her performance “out of this world” and praising Cynthia Erivo and the rest of the cast. He said watching his costars on the big screen was “moving” and noted how naturally the sequel continues the story. Slater also highlighted the genuine off-camera bond between Grande and Erivo, describing their support for each other throughout filming.

Grande and Slater, first linked in July 2023, have continued to show quiet support for one another publicly. Grande recently featured Slater in photos from the London premiere, and a source says the two remain close and fully invested in each other’s careers despite busy schedules.

Vogue has announced that the 2026 Met Gala will center on “Costume Art,” coinciding with the opening of the Met’s new Condé M. Nast Galleries — the Costume Institute’s first permanent space. Curator Andrew Bolton says the exhibition highlights the “dressed body” as a unifying thread across 5,000 years of art, pairing garments with works throughout The Met.

Opening May 10, 2026, the exhibit explores three body types — commonly depicted, overlooked, and universal — aiming to emphasize equality among forms of art and representation. The Met Gala, held May 4, will follow the same theme.

Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders had his home broken into on Sunday, Nov. 16 — the same day he made his NFL debut against the Baltimore Ravens, according to multiple outlets. Sanders was at Huntington Bank Field when the break-in occurred, and authorities have not confirmed whether anything was stolen or identified suspects.

Sanders entered the game in the second half after Dillon Gabriel was placed in concussion protocol, completing 4 of 16 passes for 47 yards with one interception in the Browns’ 23–16 loss. Coach Kevin Stefanski said Sanders will start next week if Gabriel remains sidelined.

Sanders is the latest in a string of athletes targeted during games. Over the past year, more than a dozen pro players — including Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Joe Burrow, and Cam Jordan — have had their homes burglarized.

The NFL previously warned teams about organized groups tracking athletes’ public schedules. Several Chilean nationals were charged earlier this year in connection with burglaries targeting high-profile NFL and NBA players, with more than $2 million in valuables allegedly stolen.

New York Jets cornerback Kris Boyd remains hospitalized with a bullet lodged in his right lung after being shot early Sunday in New York City. The 29-year-old is in stable condition following multiple surgeries, according to ABC reports.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. outside Sei Less on West 38th Street, where Boyd was with two teammates. Investigators are probing whether the incident stemmed from an attempted necklace theft. Surveillance footage shows the unidentified suspect.

Boyd, initially in critical condition, has since spoken with police. The Jets acknowledged the incident but declined further comment. Teammates publicly asked for prayers and support as he recovers.

Sei Less said the altercation happened outside after closing and that it is cooperating with authorities. Boyd joined the Jets in March 2025 but has not played this season due to a training-camp injury.

Sophie Grégoire is sharing how she’s processing Justin Trudeau’s new relationship with Katy Perry. Speaking on the Arlene Is Alone podcast, Grégoire said it’s completely natural to feel affected when an ex begins dating again — especially in the public eye.

She explained that while certain headlines can be triggering, she chooses to focus on what grounds her rather than reacting emotionally. Grégoire admitted she still feels everything deeply — sadness, anger, tenderness — but emphasized that her response to those emotions is her choice.

Her comments follow Trudeau and Perry’s first public appearance as a couple in Paris on Oct. 25. The pair were first seen together in July. Grégoire, who split from Trudeau in 2023 after 18 years of marriage, said she allows herself to feel disappointment or sadness but avoids staying in a reactive state.

She added that despite living separate lives, she and Trudeau remain united as parents to their three children — Xavier, Ella-Grace, and Hadrien — and continue to prioritize their family’s stability.

KISS performed for the first time since the death of founding guitarist Ace Frehley during their three-day KISS Kruise: Landlocked event in Las Vegas. Frehley died on Oct. 16 at age 74 after suffering a fall at home.

At the opening show on Nov. 14, Paul Stanley paused to acknowledge Frehley’s role in building the band, noting that despite past conflicts, “that’s what family is about.” The next night, the band — Stanley, Gene Simmons, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer — made only brief references to him, with Thayer pointing skyward during a solo. Fans repeatedly chanted Frehley’s name throughout the weekend, including during a moment led by opening act Sebastian Bach.

Frehley, known as KISS’s original “Spaceman,” co-founded the group in 1973 and left in 1982. His family said they were devastated by his loss, remembering his humor, kindness and legacy. A medical examiner later confirmed his death resulted from blunt head trauma caused by an accidental fall.

The Landlocked event featured concerts, Q&As, karaoke, memorabilia and more. KISS performed unmasked for acoustic and full-set shows at the Virgin Hotel. Frehley is survived by his daughter, Monique, and his wife, Jeanette Trerotola.

Wu-Tang Clan marked the end of their “Final Chamber” tour with a heartfelt tribute to fans, family, and late member Ol’ Dirty Bastard. After finishing the U.S. run, the group teamed with The Realest to auction items from their last three shows — from stage-used setlists to standout pieces like Raekwon’s Gucci “Chef’s Kiss” apron, which topped $2,000, and Inspectah Deck’s Tiffany-signed MSG ticket that sold for $6,000.

Raekwon said the group wanted to give fans something truly personal and “legendary,” recalling how treasured memorabilia once inspired him growing up. The auction also carried added meaning as the group reflected on ODB’s legacy, now continued by his son, Young Dirty Bastard.

Looking back on three decades of work, Raekwon emphasized how far the nine-member collective has come, the challenges they overcame, and how ODB always predicted their global impact. Even after 30 years, he says the Clan’s passion remains strong — just as ODB believed it would.
