Dolly Parton’s Loss, PAW Patrol’s New Season, Amouranth’s Violent Robbery & Bold Fashion Moments

Carl Dean, the beloved and private husband of Dolly Parton for nearly 60 years, passed away at the age of 82 in Nashville, Tennessee, on Monday. Dean, who lived a life away from the public eye, was a constant source of love and inspiration to Parton, including inspiring her famous hit song, Jolene. Parton, in a statement, shared her heartfelt sorrow, expressing the profound love they had shared for six decades. Dean will be laid to rest in a private ceremony, surrounded by family.

Carl, a businessman who owned an asphalt-paving company, lived a quiet life away from the limelight that Dolly embraced. They met at the Wishy Washy Laundromat in Nashville when Dolly was 18 years old, and they married in a small ceremony a few years later in 1966. Dolly often spoke fondly of their deep bond, even joking about how people didn’t believe Carl existed because of their secrecy.

Dean’s influence on Dolly’s music was undeniable. Jolene was inspired by a flirtatious bank teller who took a liking to Carl, something Dolly humorously noticed. Parton also said that Dean was a major influence on her Rockstar album, even including a song from the past, My Blue Tears, that he adored.

Titled: The Crew & Rocky Build a Bear Island, this episode combines two renowned children’s shows for an amazing experience. Rocky, Adventure Bay’s recycling specialist, travels to Builder’s Cove to visit Rubble and his building crew. Builder’s Cove is abuzz with excitement following the arrival of a young bear, but when the mischievous Speed Meister mistakenly destroys the bear family’s house, Rubble is forced to step in and construct them a new sanctuary—an entire island to themselves.

Rubble & Crew will have its third and fourth seasons, while PAW Patrol will have its twelfth and thirteenth. New additions to Builder’s Cove include a new barkyard full with construction gear and vehicles such as an extensible crane and a gigantic scoop large enough to clear a city block!

The new PAW Patrol seasons will continue the fun with all the fan-favorite pups, including Chase, Marshall, Rubble, Skye, Rocky, Zuma, Everest, and Tracker. While the new seasons will air on Nickelodeon, you can also catch earlier episodes of PAW Patrol on Paramount+, including season 10, which will premiere on March 19.

This move seeks to match with how modern viewers choose to watch their favorite series, keeping the excitement alive one episode at a time!

Teyana Taylor and Aaron Pierre recently gave their own elegant tribute to James Bond, sharing a series of black-and-white Instagram photographs on March 3. Taylor, 34, shared the sensual photos of herself and Pierre, 30, on Instagram only one day after the glitzy 2025 Oscars and the star-studded Vanity Fair after party. The photographs, timed to SZA’s “Take You Down,” showed the couple standing close together in James Bond and Bond girl postures, with intense, smoldering gazes and reclining back-to-back. Taylor wrote her upload, “Oscar night in black & white, no grey area,” while Pierre shared the same images on Instagram, but with no caption.

Although Pierre tends to keep his relationships private, Taylor has been open about her past with former NBA player Iman Shumpert. The couple, who had been married for seven years before divorcing in January 2023, continue to co-parent their two daughters, Iman Junie Tayla Shumpert Jr. (9) and Rue Rose Shumpert (4). Taylor reassured fans through an Instagram post at the time of their separation that she and Shumpert remain the best of friends and strong co-parents.

Meanwhile, Pierre’s fame has surged following his appearance in Mufasa, with fans—and even his co-stars—noting his newfound reputation as an internet heartthrob. In a funny occasion, actor Kelvin Harrison Jr. shared a viral TikTok video in which he teased Pierre’s expanding fan base while recording him unaware. Pierre’s engaging personality, combined with his interpretation of Mufasa, has definitely piqued the interest of many.

While neither Taylor nor Pierre’s representatives have commented on the photos or their relationship status, the images alone have sparked plenty of buzz online.

On Sunday night, after the Oscars, celebrities changed into bolder, more unorthodox costumes for the annual Vanity Fair after-party, where fashion innovation has no limitations. Stars such as Sydney Sweeney wore crystals, Emma Chamberlain wore leather, and others looked stunning in vintage lace, polka dots, ruffles, and feathers right from the Milan runway. But one look stole the show: Julia Fox, famed for her bold red carpet choices, shocked in a Dilara Findikoglu-designed nude dress. The garment, embellished with dark wavy hair deliberately arranged to protect her modesty, transformed Fox into a magical mermaid coming from the water, mesmerizing the sea of paparazzi cameras.

The dress, which debuted just two weeks ago at London Fashion Week, was part of Findikoglu’s Venus from Chaos collection—a post-apocalyptic vision of female liberation. The design was inspired by Botticelli’s iconic The Birth of Venus, reimagining the Renaissance masterpiece with a modern, provocative twist. Fox’s Rebirth of Venus look is the latest in a line of designers drawing inspiration from Botticelli, though this may be the most literal reference yet. Previously, brands like Dolce & Gabbana and Alexander McQueen have also incorporated elements of The Birth of Venus into their collections, with mixed reactions.

Fox was not the only one who made a statement at the Vanity Fair after-party. The event, famed for its risk-taking fashion, also saw Charli XCX wearing a sheer Dilara Findikoglu dress at the Brit Awards, hilariously addressing criticisms over her exposed nipples with, “We’re in the era of Free the Nipple, right?” The movement promotes gender equality and the acceptance of female toplessness in public areas.

While some celebrities support the “naked dress” trend, the fashion industry remains divided. Celebrities such as Millie Bobby Brown and Ciara chose translucent outfits with flesh-colored underwear, while others, such as Florence Pugh, have received criticism for daring to display their chests. Despite the uproar, Fox’s gown is notable not only for its daring, but also for its creative homage to art history, setting a high standard for the provocative nude dress style, which continues to elicit debate and praise. At Vanity Fair’s after-party, where fashion is more adventurous, bare dressing was indisputably popular, with Fox leading the way.

Kaitlyn “Amouranth” Siragusa, a renowned internet streamer, was the target of a violent home invasion in northwest Houston on March 2. According to officials, Siragusa, 31, was sleeping when three masked intruders broke into her home. The robbers sought access to her cryptocurrency account, specifically for bitcoin. After being pistol-whipped several times, Siragusa directed the suspects to her husband, knowing he was armed. Her husband fired his weapon, and it is thought he hit one of the attackers. The suspects then escaped, and Siragusa was transported to the hospital with a non-life-threatening injury.

In a chilling update shared on her X (formerly Twitter) account, Siragusa revealed the terrifying moments. “I was robbed at gunpoint,” she posted, explaining that the robbers had pulled her from bed and demanded cryptocurrency. “They gave me a phone and said log in with a gun to my head, and I tweeted because calling would be a death sentence,” she shared, explaining her decision to post on social media instead of calling emergency services.

The incident has raised concerns about the growing risks faced by bitcoin investors. As the value of digital assets such as bitcoin rises, criminals are becoming more aware of the potential wealth associated with cryptocurrency. Jameson Lopp, CASA’s Chief Security Officer, has previously highlighted the growing concern of cryptocurrency-related thefts. The Houston Police Department’s Robbery Division is investigating the matter, and the Houston Police Officers Union has issued a request for any information on the attack.

Siragusa posted a video on social media showing the aftermath of the attack, with blood flowing down her face from the pistol-whipping. The suspects were spotted wearing masks and carrying duct tape. Shortly after her husband engaged the intruders, gunshots rang out, and the culprits fled the scene. One of them was overheard saying they thought they’d been shot.

This horrifying occurrence is part of a disturbing trend in which criminals target bitcoin users in order to profit from the rising digital asset market. The investigation is still underway, and authorities are encouraging anyone with information to come forward.
