Hilary Swank announced on October 15 that she is expecting, months after the two-time Oscar winner and her husband Philip Schneider welcomed twins Elizabeth and Amon in 2022. Swank shared the news in an interview on ABC's Good Morning America, becoming one of the week's most-searched names.
Barbara Palvin Returns to the Runway

Joe Manganiello's Memoir
Joe Manganiello released his memoir Bloodlines on October 13, a book that covers his family history and the end of his marriage to Sofia Vergara. Hours after publication, Vergara reshared a social media post calling her ex-husband a narcissist, a move that pushed the former couple's split back into headlines seven months after their divorce was finalized.
Manganiello has said the book is about accountability and his own story rather than settling scores. Neither side has commented further since the reshares.
The Rest of the Week
Between Swift's gala performance, the Presley Gerber and RJ Mitte tributes, and Selma Blair's court date on the horizon, it has been a week in which celebrity news cycled from celebration to grief to controversy, sometimes within a single news cycle.
