The family of the late Eric Dane has expressed their disappointment following the actor’s absence from the televised “In Memoriam” segment during the 98th Academy Awards on Sunday, March 15, 2026. According to reports from TMZ, sources close to Dane’s widow, Rebecca Gayheart, revealed that while the family was “saddened” by the omission, they are choosing to focus on the overwhelming support they have received from fans.

Dane, who passed away on February 19, 2026, at the age of 53, died from respiratory failure following a courageous and highly public battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Despite his decades-long career and recent advocacy work, his face did not appear during the live broadcast’s tribute to industry legends lost over the past year.

“It was a year of profound loss for the industry,” a source close to the family told TMZ, noting that the family understands the difficult time constraints the Academy faces each year. However, the snub sparked immediate backlash on social media, with fans of Grey’s Anatomy and Euphoria calling the move “disrespectful” given Dane’s impact on the cultural landscape.

Louis Tomlinson has opened up about his time in One Direction, revealing that one of the band's biggest hits was never a personal favourite to perform on stage.

Speaking during an interview on BBC Radio 2 with Scott Mills, the singer reflected on the group's early years and admitted that their breakout 2011 single What Makes You Beautiful was "always, always, always" his least favourite track to sing live. Despite the song's global success and role in launching the band's career, Tomlinson explained that it didn't quite align with how he felt at the time.

"Two reasons on that: It's definitely our most pop and most bubble gum pop moment," he said, pointing to the song's upbeat, polished style. While the track quickly became a defining anthem for the group, he suggested it leaned heavily into a sound that didn't always feel natural to him.

He also highlighted how performing the song live added to his discomfort, especially in the early stages of One Direction's rise. "Performing that always felt so eggy," he admitted, noting that he was just 18 at the time and still adjusting to fame. He explained that being in a boy band wasn't initially seen as "the coolest thing," even though that perception changed as the group's popularity skyrocketed.

Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to making fashion sacrifices. The 53-year-old actress revealed in a behind-the-scenes Goop YouTube video that her strapless Giorgio Armani Privé gown for the 2026 Oscars was so tight she was literally "sewn into" it.

During a FaceTime call with her daughter Apple, 21, while getting ready, Paltrow explained, "I'm getting, like, sewn into my dress kind of thing, so I can't—I won't be able to pee for the whole time I'm there."

The white column gown appeared simple from the front but featured daring side slits, revealing sheer panels and tulle pants underneath as Paltrow turned on the red carpet. The ensemble made for a striking statement during the Academy Awards, where she presented the Oscar for Best Casting.

The 33 year old founder of Rare Beauty shared that she has been quietly using the brand's upcoming True To Myself Natural Matte Longwear Foundation over the past year. The product has already been part of several major moments in her life, including red carpet appearances, the Academy Awards, and her "Sunset Blvd" music video. It also became a central part of her wedding to Benny Blanco.
