Rob Reiner’s son has reportedly been placed on suicide watch. Nick Reiner, 32, is currently being held in Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Downtown Los Angeles after he was charged with two counts of first-degree murder.

On Tuesday night, it was announced by Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman that Nick was being charged after his parents were found dead at their home in Brentwood. They’d had their throats slit during the gruesome murder. He also faces an allegation of using dangerous and deadly weapon.

The Daily Mail reported that he is now being housed in an area for prisoners who have “suicidal ideation.” Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department are still gathering evidence for the case. Police have said that they believe Rob and his wife, Michele, died as a result of stab wounds.

However, they have yet to determine a motive for the double murder. Just hours before Rob and Michele were found, Nick allegedly became involved in an argument with his dad at a Christmas party hosted by Conan O’Brien. It’s claimed that Nick wandered around the party “interrupting” conversations to ask who the attendees were and if they were “famous”.

Local media reports that many in attendance had begun questioning whether the man, Nick, standing at 6 feet 3, had wandered in from the streets, unaware his parents had been invited. He hadn’t been invited but attended with his parents who were said to be concerned about his behaviour should he be left alone at home.

He is believed to have checked into the Pierside Santa Monica at 4am, and staff reportedly discovered the shower “full of blood,” as well as a trail leading from his bed and bedsheets. His parents were discovered less than 11 hours later by their daughter, Romy, at 3:30pm.

Nick was arrested on Sunday at 21:15 local time and booked on Monday morning. The Los Angeles Fire Department were called to the home in Brentwood to offer medical aid at 3:30pm local time on Sunday and found a man, 78, and a woman, 68.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Hochman said: “I’m here to announce that our office will be filing charges against Nick Reiner accused of killing his parents. These charges will be two counts of first degree murder with a special circumstance of multiple murders. He also faces a special allegation that he personally used a dangerous and deadly weapon, that being a knife.

“These charges carry a maximum sentence of life in prison. No decision at this point has been made with the respect to the death penalty. Nick Reiner is being held without bail. I want to announce these are just charges. Charges are not evidence. Evidence is something that will be presenting in a court of law.”

A spokesperson for the Reiner family said: “It is with profound sorrow that we announce the tragic passing of Michele and Rob Reiner. We are heartbroken by this sudden loss, and we ask for privacy during this unbelievably difficult time.”

Katherine Ryan has revealed she’s undergone some “pretty serious surgery” just two months after giving birth to her fourth child.

The Mock The Week star, 42, who welcomed daughter, Holland Juliette, in October, is open about the cosmetic work she’s had done, having previously revealed she had a breast augmentation as well as well as various facial ‘tweakments’, including Botox and fillers.

Lifting the lid on her recent trip for some more nip/tuck, the comedian revealed she’d found an ‘incredible’ surgeon in York, who Katherine shared is “my ethnicity”. And while she didn’t go into detail about what exactly she’d had done – hinting she will make a ‘mini docuseries’ about it – the Canadian did say she was very impressed.

Talking on her latest podcast, Telling Everybody Everything, she shared: “This is controversial but he is my ethnicity”, noting that “a lot of Asian or Persian doctors who have this idea of this aesthetic”, which she didn’t want.

Katherine continued: “Take Dr. Simon Ourian, for example. He is the Beverley Hills injectables skin guy,” Katherine said. “He doesn’t do surgery, that I know of, but he’s the guy who appears sometimes in The Kardashians, and he does their injections.

“He’s really talented, but I went to see him probably ten years ago… And I felt like I walked out of there looking a little more Kim Kardashian.”

Saying she wants to enhance her own features, rather than trying to look like someone else, Katherine said: “We need to stick as closely as possible to what mother nature intended. I have really delicate features – I have a long face, I have a really narrow jawline,.

“I was not ever meant to have the Kylie Jenner heart-shaped jawline and these big Persian eyes. That was never going to work for me.” Praising her new doctor, who lives in York, she continued: “This guy in York is like of a British, Irish background, his beautiful wife is Irish, and I want to look like her. So I was like, I think this guy gets me… I think he gets what I’m going for.”

Katherine said she was impressed by the surgeon’s before and after photos as she stressed the importance of knowing someone who has already been a client.

The mum-of-four continued: “He did some procedures on one of my friends who is so beautiful and youngish to be getting surgery, and I just loved his before and after gallery.

“It really matters, I think, to know someone real and to be able to see how their face moves, talk to them. You knew what they looked like before, you know what they look like after. That, to me, historically, has always been the push to get surgery.”

Katherine was accompanied to the surgery, which took three and half hours, by her husband, Bobby Kootstra, and their baby Holland. Revealing why she took the two-month old with her, the stand-up star said: “I elected to take the baby with me because she just turned eight weeks that day. I’m still breastfeeding her, obviously, and I will be for a long time.

“You can’t breastfeed immediately after surgery, but I could obviously spend the night with her before and breastfeed her then, pump milk for the maternity nurse that I had, and then breastfeed her shortly thereafter and go home with her.”

Teasing her big reveal once she has healed, the Your Face Or Mine star concluded: “I was thinking to myself after I got the surgery – which, wait till you see it, is pretty serious surgery – I was like, Katherine Ryan, what is your damage?”

Liberty X singer Michelle Heaton has slammed today’s reality stars – saying it’s a ‘different kettle of fish’ compared to her more ‘innocent’ experiences in the noughties

Liberty X star Michelle Heaton has spilled the beans on the best and worst bits of being in a noughties girl band – and says she feels like being a popstar before social media felt ‘innocent’ as she slammed today’s hopefuls as ‘fame-hungry’ and chasing a ‘quick buck’.

The star, who is married to Hugh Hanley, with whom she shares daughter Faith, 13, and son AJ, 11, rose to fame with the pop group, formed in 2000 out of the show Popstars, alongside Jessica Taylor and Kelli Young, Tony Lundon and Kevin Simm.

In a video for the Daily Mail, the 46-year old praised her days in Popstars, explaining it was the first reality show in Britain to put a band together, and capture the journey on live TV. But she went on to admit in no uncertain terms thatl she is not enamoured with the reality stars of today.

“I think the flipside nowadays with these TV shows, you can categorically say that it’s fame-hungry people. Yes, sometimes you get very talented people out of these shows, but the majority of people are there to make a quick buck, and get famous,“ she confessed.

Explaining that especially with the absence of social media, her own heyday with Liberty X felt much more ‘innocent’, without someone ‘watching your every move’, she said, “We had so much fun, we were around at the time of Atomic Kitten, Blue, Steps – we were one big happy family, and it just isn’t like that anymore.“

Nowadays, she said, It’s a ‘different kettle of fish’. “Everything’s on social media, everything’s up for the taking. For me, I think paparazzi back then became a bugbear in my life – they captured moments I wish they hadn’t. It affected my family, and also the perspective of me being in a band.

“I was no longer in a band to be a singer, I was in a band to create havoc. I was very quickly labelled that person. And deep down, that really hurt. Fundamentally, I wanted to sing and be appreciated for my voice and my talents.”

The singer, who is in panto this Christmas, opened up to the Mirror last month about her new 2026 stage-show channelling the girlband era, The Ultimate Girl Band Tour..

She said, “Oh it’s going to be amazing, it’s a whole new show created for me – I’ll be performing loads of different feel-good, girlband songs i’ve helped choose, with background singers, from various different genres. There’ll be dance routines and plenty of snazzy outfits.“

The singer added, “I’d been waiting a long time to do something for me, and now I’ve got my health back and the kids are older, the time feels right.

“Hopefully fans my age, their mums – and their kids, will be coming along and having a great time. My daughter Faith knows and loves all these groups, like The Sugababes, Atomic Kitten, Steps, via me! It’s going to be one big party!”

Asked if she’d ever had to go through any of the painful experiences some bands did in the noughties, as recent BBC documentary, Girlbands Forever depicted, Michelle told us she believes Liberty X were ‘one of the lucky ones’.

She explained, “I know most of the girls who took part in that documentary. But i was still taken aback by some of the things they said. I feel like Liberty X didn’t have anything too painful going on.

“Yes, there was lots of politics with the record labels and the usual band politics but there were no hidden battles, we were all very open with each other. I feel like there’s still a lot of pain, a lot of unresolved trauma. It was hard to watch.”

The Marty Supreme star let slip how much he adores the Britain’s Got Talent songstress

Hollywood star Timothée Chalamet let slip that he is a fan of one of the most famous names to come out of ITV’s Britain’s Got Talent, Susan Boyle.

His confession came during promotion for his upcoming film Marty Supreme after he was asked who he felt encapsulated British greatness. His answer was the 64-year-old singer, who had two US number one albums after her stint on the reality contest back in 2009.

“She dreamt bigger than all of us,” Timothée told the BBC. “Who wasn’t moved by that?”

The Scottish singer was initially dismissed by the BGT judges due to her appearance before she belted out a pitch-perfect performance of I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Misérables, blowing them away. The clip of her audition went viral online, with many hailing it an “inspiring” watch.

Despite not winning the talent show, her debut album released in 2009 – aptly titled I Dreamed a Dream – remains one of the most successful of the 21st Century, selling over 10 million copies globally.

Timothée, 29, went on to reveal: “I remember that [clip] like it was yesterday,” adding: “That was like the advent of YouTube, you know.”

The actor’s reveal that he counts himself among the singer’s fans has prompted many to rush to find out what she is up to today. So where is the star now, and is she still making music?

Where is Susan Boyle today?

After her rise to fame she underwent a gradual transformation and now sports a very different look in 2025. Among the biggest changes she has made to her style is swapping her short brown crop of hair for a bright blonde bob which she showed off at this year’s Pride of Britain Awards.

Susan is still very much in the public eye and announced just this month that she would be undertaking her very first festival performance in 2026 at the Summer’s End Angus music event as a special guest. She joins The Feeling, Gok Wan, Bonnie Tyler and The Jacksons on the line-up.

Back in April this year she announced that she was working on “some wonderful new projects” after a period of rest, and just one month ago shared a photograph of herself recording new music in the studio. She teased: “Just finished another lovely day in the studio and feeling grateful and excited for what’s coming next!”

She suffered a stroke in 2022 which left her unable to sing and speak properly. She said she “fought like crazy” to get herself back to being able to perform.
