Two-time ‘Survivor’ contestant Keith Nale dead at 62

Two-time “Survivor” contestant Keith Nale has died at age 62, his family has confirmed.

Nale’s heartbroken son, Wes Nale, told Entertainment Tonight his father died Tuesday afternoon.

“He’d been battling cancer for the past few months and we found out about it in January,” he added.

His brother, Kevin Nale added that their dad’s life was “taken way too soon.”

Keith, who hailed from Louisiana, was a contestant in two seasons of “Survivor” in 2015.

He appeared on two versions of the show, including “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” and “Survivor: Cambodia” both of which aired that year.

Wes appeared on “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” alongside his dad.

Tributes poured in following the sad news of Keith’s death, with his former “Survivor: San Juan del Sur” co-star Kelley Wentworth tweeting, “Keith – a man with the purest heart, who brought humor into moments where it was needed most.

“I’m grateful I had the opportunity to meet Keith & share memories together on the beaches of Nicaragua & Cambodia.”

“My heart is with the entire Nale family. This is a devastating loss,” she added.

“My condolences to the Big D, Wes, Austin and entire Nale family,” Keith’s other co-star Jeremy Collins wrote. “You will be missed Keith but your legacy will live on. Rest in power my firefighter/survivor brother.”

Keith notably made it to the final four of the series before being voted out just one day before the Final Tribal Council during his first stint.

He became a firm fan favorite which prompted him to make a defiant return for “Survivor: Cambodia.”

Keith was ultimately sent home a second time when Wentworth won immunity, but spoke highly of the series following his exit.

Speaking to UpRoxx in 2014, the former firefighter opened up about what it was like to compete in his 50s.

“They were impressed, being I was 53,” he said of his firefighter pals. “Now granted that’s not 93, but that’s not 23 either.”

“They were all behind me, a great bunch of guys. They wanted me to win it and, you know, bring it home to Louisiana. But that just didn’t happen.”

The 25-year-old explained, “Some women do. … I think that whatever happens is meant to happen.”

“I … feel very in control of my life and my decisions,” she continued.

The reality star went on to call motherhood and pregnancy the accomplishments she is “most proud of” after welcoming daughter Stormi, 5, and son Aire, 1, in February 2018 and 2022, respectively.

The makeup mogul has also never considered herself more beautiful since seeing her own features in her little ones’ faces.

“My daughter looks like me,” the “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum explained. “I get to see my beauty in her, and it’s made me love myself more.”

Jenner’s confession comes amid speculation she is dating Timothée Chalamet.

Leonardo DiCaprio, Irina Shayk spend more time at Coachella

Getting serious.

Less than 24 hours after they were spotted at a Coachella party, Leonardo DiCaprio and Irina Shayk got together a second time to watch Frank Ocean perform on Sunday night.

The two, who had clearly come together to watch the singer’s set, interacted a couple of times and even hung out in the same social group.

The Russian-born model, 37 — who was rumored to be reconciling with her ex Bradley Cooper late last year — stunned in a black top with oversized gold hoop earrings.

She slicked her raven tresses back into a high ponytail as she stood in the crowd next to the “Titanic” actor, 48.

The pair were seen hanging out twice in the span of 24 hours.

DiCaprio, on the other hand, kept a low profile in his go-to black cap while taking in the “Novacane” singer’s tunes.

The night before, the Oscar winner got cozy with the Victoria’s Secret model at Levi and Tequila Don Julio’s Neon Carnival.

The pair appeared to be joined by several friends, including model Stella Maxwell.

The actor seemingly turned his head to speak to the model.

Reps for Shayk and DiCaprio didn’t immediately return Page Six’s requests for comment.

The mother of one’s last public relationship was with Cooper, whom she shares her 6-year-old daughter, Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper, with.

The former couple called it quits in 2019 after four years of dating.

They were seen the night before at a separate Coachella event.

However, sources told Page Six in November 2022 that the duo was “trying to get pregnant” with a sibling for Lea after they went on a family trip together.

“It was a real family getaway and they are considering getting back together. Irina would like her daughter to have a sibling,” the insider said at the time.

The “Hangover” star, 48, purportedly felt the same way.

“He is on board to expand their family,” the source told us. “They are trying to get pregnant.”

Despite speculation, it seems a second baby isn’t on the way, although the exes remain amicable co-parents to their daughter.

As for DiCaprio, he split from his long-term girlfriend Camila Morrone last summer after four years of dating — and notably, after she turned 25 years old.

The Oscar winner has since been romantically linked to 27-year-old model Gigi Hadid.

‘I felt really bad for him’

Johnny Depp’s first wife Lori Allison had some stern words about actress Amber Heard a year on from the pair’s highly publicized defamation trial.

Allison wed the “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor in 1983 when she was 25 and he was 20, but the pair divorced just two years later citing “irreconcilable differences.”

Appearing on the “Popcorned Planet” podcast, the 65-year-old was asked to give her take on the 36-year-old actress.

Referring to Heard as “she who shall not be named” throughout her interview, Allison recalled really liking the “Aquaman” actress at the start of her romance with Depp.

“I had met her before, I’d been to parties at his house,” Allison recalled. “She seemed really nice and she was gorgeous, and what’s not to love?

“But as the time went by and I would hear things about her – she who shall not be named – he didn’t seem too happy all the time. I didn’t see him a lot so I can’t really say.”

“The things that affected me more were the things he said in court. I probably broke down several times because I felt really bad for him,” she added.

Calling her ex-husband “very private,” Allison said it was the right decision for Depp to “come out so wholeheartedly” in the defamation case.

“I thought it was either going to be an epic train wreck or it was going to go really well,” she added.


Allison appeared on the “Popcorned Planet” podcast, and was asked to give her take on the 36-year-old actress.

The former make-up artist said she would reach out to Depp’s pals from time to time to get updates on how the court case was going.

She added that sometimes, she would even “walk around crying because I was terrified for him.”

“I think it would’ve killed him, well maybe not, but it just broke my heart that somebody could do that to him,” she said of Heard.

“I’m no angel, I’ve done my share of s–tty things to people, but what she did was absolutely horrific, and if there were things that I could do to her that were legal, I would do them! I would.”


Heard was ordered to pay Depp more than $10 million in compensatory damages plus $350,000 in punitive damages for defaming him in a 2018 op-ed piece she wrote for the Washington Post.

The Post has reached out to Heard’s reps for comment.

Depp was awarded more than $10 million in damages after a jury determined that Heard had harmed his reputation with her allegations of domestic abuse.

Soon after, she sold her California home in an effort to pay off her debts. Prior to her time in Spain, Heard spent time in the Hamptons and Israel with her friends and daughter. 

Heard has since asked the judge to toss the jury’s verdict. She claims that the judgment wasn’t supported by evidence.

For his part, Depp, who was in the UK when the verdict came down, said in a statement: “The jury gave me my life back.”

Tom Sandoval ‘blindsided’ Bravo with new interview, ‘could be fired’: report

Tom Sandoval reportedly “blindsided” Bravo producers by going behind the network’s back to appear on Howie Mandel’s podcast.

The “Vanderpump Rules” star left no stone unturned as he divulged details of his months-long affair with Raquel Leviss on the “Howie Mandel Does Stuff” podcast Tuesday.

But his words may have serious repercussions on his future at Bravo.

“They [producers] had no clue he was doing this, of course not. They never would have allowed it,” an insider told The Sun.

“They’re putting so much time and energy into making sure the rest of the season is better than any other season and hyping up the reunion.”

“So, him pulling this b–h move is basically producers’ worst-case scenario,” the source added.

And while it’s unclear what awaits Sandoval, the outlet’s sources close to the network say that “no one on the cast would be shocked or upset if he was fired.”

It’s said that Bravo’s top dogs found out about Sandoval’s interview when Mandel announced it earlier this week.

“They’ve been freaking out and basically scrambling since,” the source added, saying the producers “have no idea what he is going to reveal so they’re watching it in shock along with the fans.”

“Him doing this is a big ‘f–k you’ to all of them,” the insider added.

Page Six has reached out to Bravo and reps for Sandoval for comment.

During his appearance on Mandel’s podcast, Sandoval dropped a slew of bombshell revelations, including details of his “magnetic” first kiss with Leviss, and even claimed that he broke up with Ariana Madix 2 weeks before Scandoval rocked the world.

“I had already broken up with her two weeks earlier, and I told her, I said, ‘Listen, we don’t have to post anything on social media, like, let’s talk through this,’” he alleged.

Sandoval claimed that they kept the split between them, so they could “figure out a way to navigate this that helps us both out and makes it easier” — but asserted that Madix, 37, was in “denial.”

Sandoval also said that Madix turned a “blind eye” to his budding romance with Leviss.

“She had heard things and seen things about Raquel but was very much turning a blind eye or just trusting me, I guess,” he told Mandel.

The scandal-scarred Bravolebrity also revealed that he and Leviss are taking a step back from their sexual relationship for the time being.

“We’re not putting any label on it,” he said. “We’re just kind of taking a break.”

Fans react to Millie Bobby Brown’s engagement to Jake Bongiovi

Is there a stranger thing?

Millie Bobby Brown is facing criticism from fans after getting engaged to Jake Bongiovi at such a young age.

The “Stranger Things” star, 19, announced on Instagram Tuesday that Bongiovi, 20, had popped the question after two years of dating, but many of her nearly 63 million followers were less than thrilled about the news.

“What? She’s eleven,” one punster wrote in the comments section of Brown’s post, referring to her character’s name in the Netflix show.

The coupe announced their engagement Tuesday.

“Omgg too young,” a third commented.

“Child marriage should not be happening,” another agreed.

Others fans were more supportive and wished the betrothed couple all the best.

“Divorce coming in 1.5 years,” a cynic added.

“Guy is trying hard to secure the bag,” another wrote, referring to Brown’s big paycheck for her breakout role in “Stranger Things.”

“NO F–KING WAY,” a shocked fan commented.

Romance rumors started swirling for the pair in summer 2021.

But others were supportive of the pair taking the next big step in their relationship and pointed out that they are two adults in love.

“I thinks it’s very interesting how many people who don’t know Millie Bobby Brown privately AT ALL think it’s any of their business wether or not a decision she made is right or wrong LOL,” one defender commented. “I’m happy for her if she’s happy and it’s
NON [sic] of anyone else’s business to say what they should or shouldn’t be doing.”

“For everyone upset about her being engaged, it’s not her saying she’s getting married RIGHT AWAY, it just signifies that it’ll happen and they made their love for each other official. Just be happy for her at the end of the day it’s her life,” a second person wrote.

The pair have continued to flaunt their love throughout their relationship.
jakebongiovi/Instagram

“She’s technically an adult and can make her own choices. I got engaged at 19 and was married at 19 and now almost 10 years later we’re still together, would I be okay with my kids getting married at 19? Eh probably not but still congrats to them!” someone agreed.

“shut up to all the people who r saying shes too young shes literally living the life she wants bro dont forget that this isnt ur life and u dont make decisions for her 🤗,” another wrote.

“i hate that ppl keep assuming she’s a teenager she’s almost 20 and she got engaged !!! be happy for her some of ya popping babies before 19 and not even know who the daddy is … let this girl be happy,” one more added.

Bongiovi also celebrated their engagement with an Instagram post.

In her social media announcement, Brown quoted lyrics from Taylor Swift’s song “Lover” as she and Bongiovi head into their third summer as a couple.

“I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all,” she wrote beneath a black-and-white picture of her fiancé hugging her from behind as she debuted her engagement ring.

The son of Jon Bon Jovi celebrated their engagement on Instagram as well, posting a photo from his proposal with the simple caption, “Forever.”

The self-described “all around cool guy” seemed to receive more support from his followers than his bride-to-be did, as his post was flooded with well-wishes.

Brown has been candid about wanting to spend the rest of her life with Bongiovi.

From there, the pair proceeded to spend the holidays together and travel the world before making their red carpet debut at the BAFTAs in London in March 2022.

The “Enola Holmes” star hinted at wanting to spend the rest of her life with Bongiovi earlier this year when she called him her “partner for life” on social media.

Royal family wears blue in first Easter since Queen Elizabeth’s death

Something blue.

King Charles and his family were spotted Sunday wearing blue at Windsor Castle as he and several other senior members of the royal family attended the first Easter church service since Queen Elizabeth’s passing in September.

Alongside Charles, 74, stood Queen Consort Camila, 75, and behind them walked the future king’s sister Princess Anne and brother, disgraced royal Prince Andrew, reports The Independent.

Prince Edward and his family trailed the senior royals followed by Prince William, Kate Middleton and their three children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Bringing up the rear of the group were Princess Eugenie — who is pregnant — and her husband Jack Brooksbank.

The service was held at the 15th-century Windsor Castle which served as the final resting place for Charles’ mother and father as well as his grandparents.

In September, the Royal family revealed a new ledger stone was placed on the tomb.

“A ledger stone has been installed at the King George VI Memorial Chapel, following the interment of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth,” reads a tweet alongside a photo. “The King George VI Memorial Chapel sits within the walls of St George’s Chapel, Windsor.”

This is also Charles’ first service as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England.

The Easter service comes as Charles and Camila prepare for their coronation on May 6.

In the past, the then-Prince Charles issued a statement to the country — last year’s addressed the millions of displaced people “wounded by the past, fearful of the future,” however, the king has yet to release one as a reflection of his new station.

Keeping with his mother’s tradition, the future king and queen handed out Maundy money to 74 men and women as thanks for their outstanding Christian service.

The family outing comes after a brand new revelation that King Charles refused to put Meghan Markel on the royal family’s payroll.

Royal correspondent Robert Jobson made the revelation in his new book “Our King.”

Jobson claims the then-prince made the jab in 2016 when Harry announced his intention to marry the “Suits” star.

According to Jobson, Charles said he couldn’t bankroll Markel, 41, since he was already paying for Camila and William’s growing family.

“This infuriated Harry,” wrote Jobson, “When the Queen asked Charles why he hadn’t given in, he told her that he wasn’t a bank.”

Jobson theorized this was the inciting incident that led to Harry and Meghan leaving the royal family.

Kim Kardashian look-alike on Drake’s latest cover art revealed

Yes indeed, that was just a Kim Kardashian look-alike.

Drake sent Twitter into a frenzy Thursday after releasing the cover art for his latest single, “Search & Rescue,” which seemingly features an image of him and the “Kardashians” star in matching motorcycle helmets.

However, TMZ confirmed Friday that the mystery woman was actually an artist named Lilah, who just so happens to bare a striking resemblance to the reality TV star.

Although it seemed unlikely that Kardashian would pose with ex-husband Kanye West’s frenemy, Drake did sample her voice in the song.

Fans previously suspected it was Kim Kardashian given the fact Drake used an audio clip of her in the song.
Instagram/@champagnepapi

In fact, Drake savagely used a clip of Kardashian speaking about her divorce from West on the 2021 series finale of “Keeping Up With the Kardashians.”

“I didn’t come this far just to come this far and not be happy. Remember that,” the reality star, 42, said in the audio.

Around that same time, West accused Drake of acting like he had hooked up with his now ex-wife — which she denied.

“It’s like somebody throwing a marble and hiding their hand,” West added on “Drink Champs” at the time.

Drake’s decision to reignite the feud shocked many fans given the fact the pair seemed to bury the hatchet in November 2021.

Fans suspected that Drake used a Kardashian look-alike to upset rival Kanye West.
Instagram/@lilahpi

At the time, West posted a photo with Drake alongside music executive J. Prince in Toronto. He captioned the post with a “dove” emoji to emphasize the peace made between them.

However, on Drizzy’s newest album, “Her Loss,” the rapper inferred that the meeting meant nothing to him.

“Linking with the opps, b—h, I did that s—t for J. Prince,” he rapped on the track “Circo Loco.”

Drake and West have beefed for years amid rumors the “Nice For What” rapper slept with Kardashian.

To which West seemingly replied in a since-deleted tweet last year.

“Enough already I done gave this man his flowers multiple times. Let’s really see who [our] real opps are in this music game. Imagine all the rappers on the same side and everyone cleaning up each other’s contracts. It’s kingdom time. Love Drake,” Ye wrote.

Meanwhile, Drake’s father, Dennis, has tried to reassure fans that “it’s just a song” and his son is “not trolling” West.

Gen Z ‘Barbie’ fans slammed for calling Ryan Gosling ‘old’

He’s plastic, and according to Gen Z, he’s not so fantastic. 

Social media is abuzz about the new “Barbie” movie trailer starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling – but Gen Z fans aren’t impressed with Gosling as Ken. 

“[R]yan gosling is too old to be playing ken i’m sorry his wrinkles are taking me out of the experience,” one fan tweeted. 

“I like Ryan Gosling but idk [I don’t know] why he looks a little too old and dry. Not sure if it’s because of the hair or tan but he needed some moisturizer,” another complained. 

Another fan had scathing commentary about “The Notebook” and the “Drive” star’s appearance. “Ryan gosling is too ugly and too old to be playing ken, they should’ve casted henry cavill or chris evans bye,” they wrote. 

Another fan tentatively wondered if voicing this opinion would get them canceled. “Heeeey so um will saying ‘ryan gosling looks too old to be playing ken’ get somebody cancelled???? asking for a friend,” they tweeted.

One fan on TikTok even called Gosling, “Grandpa Ken.”

Gosling is 42 while Robbie is 32. 

The “Barbie” movie’s tone looks like it will lean towards comedy and absurdity, with the trailer highlighting how Barbie and Ken don’t know what sex is. In the trailer, when Gosling’s Ken suggests that he and Margot’s Barbie go home together because they are “girlfriend and boyfriend,” she looks confused, asking what they would do. Ken pauses and replies, “I’m actually not sure.” 

The Greta Gerwig movie’s marketing is also leaning into the running gag that Barbie dolls have a wide range of occupations such as a president and a doctor, while Ken dolls are always “just Ken,” which has spawned countless memes.

Plenty of staunch Gosling defenders took up arms against Gen Z’s notion that he’s too “old” and “wrinkled” to play Ken.

“i would still choose 96 year old haggard ryan gosling as ken over anyone else,” one fan proclaimed. 

“Gen Z saying Ryan Gosling is too old to be Ken and calling him ugly ?? have y’all lost your minds,” another fan slammed. 

“i genuinely don’t think ryan gosling is ugly at all and that’s why all this discourse is making me mad,” another fan fumed. “like he’s kinda old looking, but ugly he is NOT. you guys are LYING.”

Other fans dug into the Barbie doll lore to explain why Gosling is the right Ken. 

“I don’t understand how people are saying Ryan Gosling looks too old in the Barbie movie like…this is a 50-year-old man,” one fan said, sharing an image of a Ken doll. 

Another fan had an in-universe explanation: “…. i don’t get the ryan gosling is too old thing. one of the running jokes in dreamhouse was that barbie is an older woman but no one knew how old,” they wrote, referring to the animated web series, “Barbie: Life in the Dreamhouse” and its Netflix continuation, “Barbie Dreamhouse Adventures.”

“‘Ryan Gosling is too old for ken,’ Ryan Gosling has been on this earth for less time then the character of ken has been in existence do you hear yourselves,” another fan fumed, referring to the fact that the Ken doll has existed since 1961. 

“Barbie” hits theaters on July 21.
