Just hours after hinting at the release of his explosive memoir, where he intends to shed light on alleged misdeeds within his high-profile family, Collin Gosselin took to social media to take a subtle dig at his mother, Kate Gosselin.

In a post shared with his followers, Collin remarked, “I didn’t plan this at all, but coincidentally on the day of the official announcement of my book, it is Colleen’s birthday.” He accompanied this message with a photo of Colleen Conrad, who was in a relationship with his father, Jon Gosselin, from 2014 until 2021. Jon has since married Stephanie Lebo as of November.

Collin, now 22, expressed his admiration for Colleen in the post, writing, “She is the strongest woman I know, who stepped in at the toughest part of my life and CHOSE to be a mother to me.”

He continued with heartfelt wishes, “Happy birthday to my wonderful, hardworking, passionate, and I could go on… to my real mom ❤️ I love you so much.”

In the comment section, the former reality star expanded on his sentiments, stating, “The love you feel for a mom you were given is incredible. But the love you feel for a mom that CHOSE you is something so powerful. I am so fortunate ❤️ @colleen.conrad122 I love you so much 🫶🏼”

Conrad responded in part, “I’ll always be here for you and you are my son. I love you!”

A rep for Kate, 51, did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment on Wednesday.

The post comes hours after the “Jon & Kate Plus 8” alum teased the release of his memoir, “In the Shadow of Eight,” due to hit shelves in October.

“This is not a story for entertainment, it is a story to instill responsibility in everyone to advocate and speak up against abuse, injustice, and the exploitation of children,” he captioned a montage of photos from his childhood.

“I not only poured my heart into this book for my younger self, but for ALL who have faced unfair and outright heinous acts as children. I am your voice. I stand with you. CG”

The book’s publisher released a synopsis on Wednesday, promising that the memoir will share the “never-before-told story of how [Collin] escaped and found his way back from the dark.”

The publisher also described the book as a “reckoning with the dark side of fame: the systems, the entourage, and the institutions that allowed one boy to be erased.”

The book’s cover features a throwback image of Kate holding her hand over Collin’s mouth.

Kate and ex-husband Jon, 49, also share 22-year-old sextuplets Aaden, Joel, Alexis, Hannah and Leah, and twins Cara and Madelyn, 25.

The famous family rose to fame on the TLC reality show, which morphed into “Kate Plus 8” following the former couple’s divorce in 2009.

Jon was ultimately granted sole custody of Collin, while Hannah eventually moved in with them, as well.

Over the years, Collin has slammed Kate with allegations of “child abuse and child exploitation” — including allegedly being zip-tied and locked in a basement before being institutionalized in 2016 — with Kate consistently denying the claims and defending her decision to place him into a behavioral health facility.

Madelyn publicly backed up her mother, accusing Collin of “physical violence,” which Jon and Collin have denied.

In an August 2025 social media post, Collin seemingly accused his mother of being instrumental in his estrangement from many of his siblings, with Kate cryptically responding to the drama in a social media comment, “he knows why…”

Amid the family feud, Page Six revealed in September that Kate is dating her former bodyguard, Steve Neild, and that the pair “have wedding plans.”

Kate previously denied an affair with Neild in 2009, telling People at the time of the media coverage, “They’re going to keep going, and they’ll make up stuff to connect the dots.”

Collin and Jon swiftly took to social media to blast Kate following the revelation. “Everyone says my dad and I are hung up on my mom. We are not,” Collin wrote via Instagram at the time.

“We have suffered the damage of a narcissist and cried together.”

Collin told Us Weekly on Tuesday that in his memoir, he’s “sharing what was really happening behind the scenes,” and that the memoir is “about truth, survival, resilience and finding my voice after years of being silenced.”

A well-known supporter of the arts in San Francisco, Judith ‘Judy’ Wyler Sheldon, who was also the daughter of Oscar-winning director William Wyler, was tragically discovered deceased alongside her husband inside their running SUV on a California highway.

The bodies of Judy Wyler Sheldon, aged 84, and her husband, Wylie Sheldon, 86, were found unresponsive in their vehicle on Interstate 5 near Redding, earlier this week on Monday.

Authorities have yet to announce the cause of their deaths, as investigations are currently underway to unravel the circumstances surrounding this incident.

Judith’s father, William Wyler, was a legendary filmmaker known for directing some of Hollywood’s most iconic stars, such as Audrey Hepburn, Charlton Heston, Henry Fonda, Barbra Streisand, Shirley MacLaine, Gregory Peck, and Laurence Olivier, leaving a lasting legacy in cinema history.

The California Highway Patrol reported that the couple was discovered at around 5:46 PM on June 15, when an officer noticed their Jeep Compass parked along the shoulder of northbound Interstate 5, just beyond Fawndale Road.

Authorities said Sheldon, 84, was behind the wheel while her husband, 86, was seated in the passenger seat.

A second CHP officer was called to assist, and emergency medical personnel attempted life-saving measures. Despite those efforts, both Judy and Wylie Sheldon were declared dead at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding the deaths remain unclear.

Investigators have not publicly disclosed any indication of foul play, medical emergency, or other factors that may have contributed to the tragedy.

The California Highway Patrol’s Northern Division Investigative Services Unit has now taken over the case and is working to determine exactly what happened inside the vehicle.

The deaths occurred during a period of extreme heat in Northern California. 

The National Weather Service had issued an extreme heat warning for the Redding area, where temperatures climbed to around 109 degrees on the day the couple were found.

Investigators have not said whether weather conditions played any role.

The deaths stunned members of California’s arts and film communities, where Judy Sheldon had long been a respected figure.

‘We are reeling from this news,’ Anita Monga, artistic director of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, said in a statement. ‘Judy and Wylie were very dear to us, supportive and a positive presence at all our events.’

For many in San Francisco’s cultural circles, the Sheldons were known as much for their hospitality as their philanthropy. Their home frequently served as a gathering place for visiting film archivists, musicians and cinema enthusiasts attending festival events.

Judy Sheldon spent decades championing silent-film preservation and played a central role in the San Francisco Silent Film Festival. After serving as president of the organization’s board, she later became its longtime chair.

‘I used to joke with her that she was our Frank Sinatra – Chairman of the Board,’ Monga recalled.

Monga said the Sheldons regularly opened their home to festival guests and supporters.

‘Judy would allow, actually encourage, our visiting film archivists and musicians to pose for pictures with her father William Wyler’s Oscars,’ she said. ‘The perfect hosts.’

The loss was still difficult to process, Monga added.

‘I’m sorry to not be more articulate; this loss is so devastating.’

William Wyler, Judy Sheldon’s father, directed Hollywood classics including Roman Holiday, Ben-Hur, Mrs. Miniver and The Best Years of Our Lives, winning three Academy Awards 

William Wyler was one of the most acclaimed directors in Hollywood history, winning three Academy Awards for Best Director during a career that spanned more than four decades

Stacey Wisnia, executive director of the San Francisco Silent Film Festival, said Sheldon was a familiar face at virtually every event she could remember over more than two decades.

‘Completely unassuming, she could always be found in the theater lobby engaged in lively conversations with festival musicians, special guests, and audience members,’ Wisnia said.

She added that she would miss Sheldon’s ‘warmth, curiosity, and charming stories about her travel adventures and her father, the great director William Wyler.’

‘She was a San Francisco treasure,’ Wisnia said.

Born Judith Wyler in Los Angeles, she spent much of her life preserving and celebrating cinema history. 

Although she briefly appeared on screen during the 1950s, earning credits in productions including The Errol Flynn Theatre, The Buccaneers and BBC Sunday-Night Theatre, her lasting legacy came through her work behind the scenes as an advocate for film preservation.

She became especially devoted to protecting silent-film history and played a major role in promoting awareness of early cinema. 

The San Francisco Silent Film Festival lists her as chair of its board, reflecting years of involvement with the organization.

In a 2007 interview, Sheldon explained that her passion for the festival grew after she attended a retrospective dedicated to her father’s silent-era films in Pordenone, Italy. 

The experience helped deepen her commitment to preserving a vital chapter of film history.

Her influence extended well beyond the world of silent cinema. She also served in leadership roles supporting San Francisco’s cultural institutions and was listed as a co-chair for a gala hosted by San Francisco Performances during its 43rd season.

The loss carries an added historical resonance because of her family’s place in Hollywood history.

Her father, William Wyler, remains one of the most acclaimed directors ever to work in American film. 

Across a legendary career, he directed classics including Roman Holiday, Ben-Hur, 

The Best Years of Our Lives, Mrs. Miniver and Wuthering Heights. 

He won three Academy Awards for Best Director, a feat achieved by only a handful of filmmakers.

Authorities have released mugshots of all five suspects, including one who appeared to be smiling. These individuals are accused of orchestrating what prosecutors have termed a “mass casualty event,” aimed at President Donald Trump and other prominent figures during the UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House. The booking photos have been made publicly available.

The arrests occurred this month in a coordinated multi-state operation. Federal authorities have uncovered what they believe was a detailed plan for an attack, involving drones equipped with explosives, sniper teams, and safe houses to facilitate the assault during the event.

Despite the serious nature of the alleged plot, U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro confirmed to Fox News on Wednesday that her office is not involved in the case. “We do not have a piece of that case,” Pirro stated.

“We do not have a piece of that case,” Pirro said.

Asked whether she expected the matter could eventually be brought to her office because the alleged target was in Washington, D.C., Pirro said prosecutors need activity within the district to establish jurisdiction.

“You have to have some kind of actual activity to bring a case,” Pirro said.

News Media obtained all five booking photos.

Tycen C. Proper, 19, of Ohio, is accused of compiling a target list containing 46 individuals and spending roughly $3,000 in graduation money on weapons, ammunition and tactical gear. Prosecutors allege investigators recovered writings outlining extremist beliefs and planning materials related to the plot.

Bryan Omar Roa, 24, of California, was among the five suspects charged in connection with the alleged scheme. Prosecutors say he participated in encrypted group communications used by members of the group as they discussed the operation.

Michael Alan Thomas, 32, of California, allegedly participated in discussions about contingency plans if members of the group were arrested. According to charging documents, Thomas suggested helping co-conspirators escape custody if necessary.

“We will try to break them out of jail if we need to,” Thomas allegedly said, according to court documents.

Daniel K. Eskridge, 32, of Kidder, Missouri, allegedly offered his rural property as a safe house and discussed constructing a hidden bunker beneath a shed, according to prosecutors. Investigators also allege he participated in conversations about acquiring explosive materials.

Abraham Hermosillo Alvarez, 31, of Omaha, Nebraska, who’s seen smiling in his mugshot released by officials, was identified by prosecutors as the alleged ringleader of the group.

According to charging documents, Alvarez used coded references in encrypted chats when discussing intended targets, including Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Elon Musk.

The group allegedly planned to launch explosive-laden drones above the White House UFC event before targeting officials and security personnel as attendees evacuated the area.

Federal authorities allege the attack plan called for drones to detonate above the crowd, forcing attendees and designated “high-value targets” toward a southern evacuation point where sniper teams would be positioned.

Investigators further allege members of the group discussed obtaining military ordnance after determining they lacked the expertise to manufacture explosives themselves. According to court filings, one proposal involved targeting the Kansas Army Ammunition Plant in Parsons, Kansas.

The criminal case remains pending.

The beloved horror classic “Scream 2” may have thrilled audiences, but the financial returns for its actors, even decades later, tell a different story.

Actor Craig Shoemaker, known for his role in the 1997 film, recently shared on Instagram that he received a mere $34.09 in residuals. This revelation sparked a flurry of reactions from fans in the comments section.

One follower expressed skepticism, saying, “So you had a bit part in one sequel of a multi-movie franchise a quarter-century ago. Not sure if you’re rage baiting or legit complaining.”

Shoemaker, now 61, responded with a touch of humor, stating, “How about none of the above, and the rage inside of you is the only baiting? Lol.”

Another commenter chimed in, “Better than nothing. Would better negotiations have changed that? You were a day player, after all.”

“It’s said with humor, and nothing else. If you don’t get it, then move on,” Shoemaker clapped back.

Others found the humor in Shoemaker’s post, with one fan chiming in, “Now now now…don’t get crazy…that’s $34 before taxes taken out. Soooo $25 bucks?”

“S–t,” the actor responded. “I didn’t think about that. I’m down to a hotdog and a lemonade now.”

“In 1997 I was cast in the role of the film professor in the sequel of the original Scream movie, Scream 2, where I lead a conversation in class about film sequels,” Shoemaker originally wrote on Tuesday alongside a shot of the letter.

“The residuals keep rolling in, baby! What should I buy with my 34 bucks?” he teased.

“Scream” premiered in 1996 and starred Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, David Arquette, Skeet Ulrich, Rose McGowan, Matthew Lillard and Jamie Kennedy.

The sequel hit theaters a year later in 1997 and followed Sidney Prescott (Campbell) at college.

Along with Campbell, the cast included Arquette, Cox, Kennedy, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Laurie Metcalf, Jerry O’Connell, Timothy Olyphant, Jada Pinkett Smith and Liev Schreiber.

Shoemaker is listed as having played “Artsy Teacher” in the film, according to IMDb.

In 2022, Campbell, 52, decided to walk away from the franchise’s sixth movie due to a salary dispute.

“Sadly, I won’t be making the next ‘Scream’ film,” she said in a statement to Page Six at the time.

“As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to ‘Scream.’”

The franchise made headlines once again in 2023 after Melissa Barrera was fired from “Scream 7” following a series of comments about the Israel-Hamas war.

Jenna Ortega, who starred in 2022’s “Scream” and 2023’s “Scream VI,” with Barrera, 35, revealed she also exited the franchise.

Ulrich, 56, meanwhile, confirmed to The Post that he was supposed to be in “Scream 7″ — despite dying in the first movie — until Barrera was axed.

The actress played his on-screen daughter in the films.

However, nearly 30 years after the iconic slasher franchise first debuted, most of OG cast reunited for “Scream 7,” which premiered this past February.

Campbell and Cox made a comeback alongside Lillard, 56, and Arquette, 54 — despite their character’s being killed off. Metcalf, 71, and Scott Foley also reprised their roles from past films.

The film marked frequent “Scream” creator/writer Kevin Williamson’s first time directing, following the 2015 death of Wes Craven, who directed the first four films in the franchise. Williamson took over after Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who directed the 2022 and 2023 installments, exited.

“Oh, it’s been awesome [to return],” he gushed to The Post last summer. “I’ve always been on the fringes of the last few ‘Scream’ movies, as sort of the granddaddy of the franchise.”

In a recent move, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced that all individuals held at the immigration detention center located on a remote airstrip in the Florida Everglades have been relocated to different facilities. This center, often dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz,” has been emptied due to concerns surrounding the ongoing hurricane season.

While the South Florida Detention Center has received accolades from former President Donald Trump, it has also faced intense scrutiny. Criticism has come from lawyers, families, and human rights organizations, who have consistently condemned the treatment of detainees since the center’s inauguration 11 months ago, during the Atlantic hurricane season.

Although the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the transfer of detainees, it did not disclose the number of individuals moved or their new locations. Additionally, the future of the facility remains uncertain, with no clear indication of whether it will shut down permanently or just temporarily.

“For the safety of the illegal alien detainees, we transferred them to other facilities,” stated Lauren Bis, a spokesperson for the department, in an emailed communication.

The hurricane season, which lasts from June to November, began a month before the detention center opened on July 3, 2025. Remarkably, that year concluded without any hurricanes striking Florida, yet the facility has continued its operations since its establishment.

Shortly after ICE announcement, the National Hurricane Center reported on Wednesday that the first tropical storm o f the 2026 hurricane season had formed off the Texas coast.

Detainees at the facility have talked about their difficulty accessing lawyers, and have described poor physical conditions, including worms in the food, toilets that don’t flush, flooding floors with fecal waste, and mosquitoes and other insects everywhere.

Surrounded by alligator-filled swamps in the Florida Everglades, “Alligator Alcatraz” was built by Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ administration in a matter of days, and Trump toured it on July 1, 2025, just two days before it was opened.

Since the facility opened, immigration advocates said the tents were never safe or humane to hold people. Federal and state officials, nonetheless, had said that it was prepared to withstand hurricanes.

“Transferring people out of this cruel facility is an important step, but it does not erase the harm that has already been done,” said Amy Godshall, an attorney with the American Civil Liberties Union who filed a lawsuit against the state and the federal government alleging a lack of access to legal representation for detainees. “The state and federal government must permanently close this facility and commit to never detaining people there again.”

DeSantis said in May that South Florida Detention Facility always was meant to be temporary. He said the facility had processed and deported 22,000 detainees since its opening.

Hurricane season is an excuse, activists say

Immigration advocates and lawyers said the hurricane season is an excuse, not the real reason why the detainees have been transferred.

“That’s a nonsense excuse because they opened in the middle of the worst part of hurricane season last year,” said Arianne Betancourt, a community advocate at the non-governmental group The Workers Circle who has spent months connecting dozens of detainees with pro-bono attorneys.

Betancourt and other advocates and attorneys said they noticed an increase in the transfer of detainees to other facilities over the past two weeks, during which time they lost contact with dozens of detainees.

Katie Blankenship, an immigration attorney at Sanctuary of the South, said all 50 clients that she and other attorneys have been providing free advice during the past 20 days have been moved from “Alligator Alcatraz” to other facilities in South Florida, California, Arizona, Louisiana and Texas.

“They are all gone,” Blankenship said. “They have been moved and disappeared into the system and are unavailable to family or counsel, typically for a period of about a week.”

She noted that she hasn’t received any official notice about the transfers, but instead found out because her clients did not appear at hearings or did not show up at calls. When she tried to find out what had happened to them, she located them using the official detainee search tool and saw that they had been transferred to other facilities, Blankenship said.

Families left to pick up pieces

Renata Bozzetto, deputy director of the Florida Immigrant Coalition, said that even if the facility is closed, the harm will not end.

“Many of the people detained there will be transferred to other detention facilities, while their families continue to face uncertainty and hardship,’’ Bozzetto said. “When this detention camp closes, many corporations and contractors will have walked away with millions in profits, while immigrant families are left to pick up the pieces.”

In a tragic turn of events, Hollywood is mourning the loss of Daveigh Chase, the talented actress who passed away at the tender age of 35. Her untimely demise came after a prolonged hospitalization due to severe malnutrition.

Her death was confirmed by her boyfriend on Tuesday, who shared that she had been battling a series of serious health issues, including meningitis, a blood infection, and sepsis. These complications ultimately led to her passing.

Chase was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital in early June, and despite efforts to stabilize her condition, her health steadily declined, culminating in her death on Tuesday.

In the weeks leading up to this heartbreaking outcome, her partner, Roy Hernandez, had been actively seeking financial support through GoFundMe campaigns, hoping to cover the costs of her medical care.

Chase first captured the public’s attention as a child star in 2002 with her chilling role as Samara Morgan in the horror film “The Ring.” Her performance left a lasting impression on audiences and solidified her place in Hollywood history.

She slipped out of the spotlight in 2013 and retreated from public view entirely in 2017, when she posted on social media for the last time. 

Over the next few years, the star was arrested multiple times on a variety of charges from joyriding in stealing cars to drug possession. Her partner describes a bitter feud with her family, and a desperate fight for them to get off the streets. 

In a tragic premonition of her own death, she was questioned in 2017 after dropping an unconscious man off outside of a hospital and driving away. He later died of a drug overdose.

Hernandez, Chase’s partner, said the pair were homeless in the years before her death.

In one of his fundraisers, her partner pleaded: ‘Daveigh Chase, my girlfriend, has always been a light in my life… But behind the scenes, she’s faced more than her share of hardship.’

‘After a difficult childhood and a painful falling out with her family, Daveigh was bullied and struggled to find safety and happiness in downtown LA. When we met, I promised to protect her and give her the love and comfort she deserved. 

‘Together, we found moments of happiness and hope.’

He continued: ‘Recently, everything changed. Daveigh was diagnosed with meningitis and several serious blood infections. Her condition has become critical, and the doctors have told me she may not have much time left. All she ever wanted was a place where we could live together, feel safe, and be happy. 

‘Now, more than ever, I want to give her that sense of home and peace in her final days.

‘I understand we all go through things, but if you can help, I will be really grateful for anything.’

Chase has not been seen on social media since 2017, and her last red carpet appearance was at a Vogue dinner in April 2013. 

In 2002 she voiced the character of Lilo in the animated classic Lilo & Stitch

She had several run-ins with the law. In November 2017, she was arrested in Los Angeles for joyriding in a stolen car.

Chase was reportedly a passenger in a BMW that police officers pulled over in Hollywood, according to the site. 

The actress was reportedly booked for being in a car without the owner’s consent, which, the website reported, is a felony. The driver was also booked.

An investigation was opened to determine who stole the BMW as Chase was held in jail on $25,000 bond.

It was not the first run-in with the law for the star.

In February 2017, she was arrested by LAPD detectives after she allegedly left a dying man outside a hospital.

Chase had reportedly been hanging out with the man in the early hours of February 15 before she left him at the hospital’s front door and fled.

Her last red carpet appearance was at Vogue’s Triple Threats dinner hosted by Sally Singer and Lisa Love at Goldie’s in April 2013 in Los Angeles

Police ran her name and discovered an outstanding warrant out against her for an unrelated misdemeanor traffic violation, leading to her arrest, TMZ reported at the time.

Chase was not a suspect in the man’s death, which was believed to be caused by an overdose. 

Her sad final days are a far cry from the wholesome Hollywood stardom she once enjoyed. 

She was beloved for her voice role as Lilo in the hit 2002 Disney film Lilo & Stitch and the follow-up TV show, and she voiced Chihiro Ogino in Spirited Away.

In 2006, she played Rhonda Volmer in 32 episodes of the series Big Love with Chloe Sevigny about a polygamist Mormon family.

Other appearances included roles in Donnie Darko, Beethoven’s 5th, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, ER and Mercy.
