NEED TO KNOW
- Anderson Cooper surprised fans with a new look in his latest Instagram update
- On Aug. 7, the CNN news broadcaster revealed that he’s departed from his signature freshly shaven look with grown-out gray facial hair
- Cooper has become recognizable throughout his career by his bare face and silver hairstyle
Anderson Cooper is taking some time away from the cameras to experiment with a new look.
On Aug. 7, the news anchor, 58, shared a selfie to his Instagram Stories showing off his grown-out facial hair, and because fans of the CNN celebrity know Cooper for his clean-shaven appearance, his scruffy look certainly shocked a few.
In the photo, the dad of two smiled with his gray whiskers and bristles on display. For what appeared to be a day off, he also wore a laid-back outfit including a New York Yankees baseball cap and navy T-shirt.
“Heading back to work soon,” he captioned the photo alongside a follow-up question for his followers “Shave or keep?”

In addition to his hairless facial feature, Cooper’s other recognizable asset is his silver-white hairstyle. While that’s remained a constant throughout his career, Cooper previously confessed that he actually isn’t a fan of what, in part, has made him famous.
“I don’t really like my gray hair. I wish I still had brown hair. It’s not my thing,” Cooper shared while co-hosting Live! With Kelly in 2016. “If I could, I would probably color my hair, but I couldn’t imagine sitting in a salon with tin foil in my hair reading old issues of Rosie for hours. At this point it’s too late — the cow has left the barn.” He did recall having brunette hair at some point in his 30s, although he doubted there wasn’t at least some “pepper somewhere in there.”
Later in a 2024 episode of Ripa’s podcast, Let’s Talk Off Camera, Cooper recalled going gray while studying at Yale University.

“I was on the crew team and I was starving myself to get down to race weight of 125 pounds,” he said. “I would drop 20 pounds for races and my hair by senior year started to go gray, which I think has something to do with my poor diet and starving myself.”
His lifestyle may have accelerated the process, but genetics, he explained, also played a part. “Both my parents both my mom and dad started going gray,” he said in reference to his late parents, Gloria Vanderbilt and Wyatt Cooper. He even revealed that two years before his mom’s death in 2019, she would subtly recommend hair-thinning products. “What I realize is, like, with my hair really short, you can just see my pink rat-like scalp because it comes through.”
At the end of the day, no matter what stage or color his hair is in, Cooper can at least talk about it with hilarious candor. “I try to avoid looking in mirrors now because I look in the mirror and I’m like Casper the Friendly Ghost. I’m just completely white. If I took off my glasses, you couldn’t see me at all,” he joked at the time.

Pussycat Dolls’ Jessica Sutta claims her MAGA politics cost her a reunion tour

Former Pussycat Dolls member Jessica Sutta is speaking out after being excluded from the girl group’s upcoming reunion tour, saying she believes her political views, including her support for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., made her a “liability.”
On March 12, the Pussycat Dolls announced their PCD Forever Tour, featuring only three members — Nicole Scherzinger, Kimberly Wyatt and Ashley Roberts — while other original members, including Sutta, Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton, were left out.
During a March 22 appearance on “The Maverick Approach” podcast, Sutta, 43, claimed that she, Bachar and Thornton were not told about the reunion in advance.
“None of us were called. None of us were told about anything,” Sutta said. “In fact, we were blindsided.”
The singer explained that she heard rumors about a potential reunion and claimed she repeatedly tried to contact Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin, 64, but could not reach the choreographer until the night that the news leaked.
“She didn’t give me all the details, but I just — I started just to cry. I was like, ‘How dare you?’ Like you had no respect at all,” Sutta said.
Sutta said Scherzinger, 47, called her the following day when the tour was announced, but Sutta was too hurt to answer.
“I don’t plan to call her back,” Sutta said. “I love Nicole. This is very bittersweet for me. I respect her as an artist. I even cried with joy when she won her Tony just recently.”
In June 2025, Scherzinger won her first Tony Award, taking home the best leading actress trophy for her role as Norma Desmond in “Sunset Boulevard.”
“I definitely was rooting for her, but the way they did this just showed me exactly why I’m not in the group,” Sutta said. “And they showed exactly, to me, who they are.”
In recent years, the singer has been outspoken about experiencing serious, ongoing health issues that she said began after she received a COVID-19 vaccine in 2021. Sutta, who said she is also dealing with a neurological condition, shared her opinion that she was sidelined from the reunion tour due to her support for RFK Jr.
Sutta publicly backed RFK Jr. during his 2024 presidential run, attending campaign events, posting about him on social media and speaking at rallies, citing shared views on health and vaccines following her own medical struggles.
“It’s a cash grab. I mean, come on. Let’s keep it real, right?” Sutta said of the reunion tour. “And I was a liability.
“I align with Bobby Kennedy, which is aligning with MAGA,” she continued. “Do I love what [President Donald] Trump is doing? Absolutely not. I do not believe in war. [But] we didn’t have a chance for the [vaccine]-injured community to get help without him.
“People are screaming at me, ‘You’re MAGA, you’re MAGA.’ Yeah, I am. I triple down on it because I’m like, I’m so sick of people telling me who I should be.
“So, it’s unfortunate,” Sutta said. “I was never political, but I had to because my life depends on it.”
Sutta described helping RFK Jr. with his presidential campaign as “incredible” and admitted it was “a little bittersweet” when he dropped out and endorsed Trump.
“I wanted to see him as president,” she said. “I think he’s an amazing human. I think he’s too good to be president though. Like he has too big of a heart.”
Sutta was a member of the Pussycat Dolls from 2003 to 2010, joining as the group transitioned from a burlesque dance troupe into a recording act and remaining through its peak success.
After her departure, Sutta launched a solo career, releasing two studio albums, including “Feline Resurrection” (2016) and “I Say Yes” (2017) and scoring four No. 1 singles on Billboard’s US Dance Club Songs chart.
Sutta previously reunited with the Pussycat Dolls for a planned 2019 reunion before it ultimately fell apart in 2020.

Why Savannah Guthrie’s emotional tell-all interview has kidnapper ‘terrified’: expert

Savannah Guthrie’s heart-wrenching “Today” interview with Hoda Kotb could leave her mom Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper “terrified” as more eyes are on the mysterious case.
Former FBI agent Jason Pack exclusively tells Page Six, “This interview doesn’t hurt the investigation. What it does is keep Nancy’s name in the news at the exact moment national attention starts to drift. The whole country has been praying for this family.
“Every time Savannah speaks, somebody sitting on information hopefully gets a little closer to picking up the phone.”
Pack goes on to explain how the kidnapper now has “the FBI, a million-dollar reward, and the entire country looking for them.”
“In my experience, suspects who have done something like this are usually terrified. They have been scared for two months,” Pack believes. “Every knock on the door. Every slow moving car. They are waiting on that one tip that leads law enforcement straight to their doorstep and finally tells the world what happened to Miss Nancy.”
Pack sees Savannah as a “daughter who loves her mother.”
“This isn’t necessarily a law-enforcement strategy,” Pack says of the “Today” interview. “This is what grief looks like. It’s a family carrying something too heavy to hold alone, and a woman who decided she was done holding it in silence. Think about who she chose to sit down with. Hoda Kotb. Her friend. Her colleague. Someone she trusts with her life. Savannah didn’t walk into a press conference.
“She walked into a safe space and let herself be human. That’s what grief looks like when it finally gets room to breathe.”
On Wednesday, a clip of Kotb’s interview with her former co-host aired in preparation of a two-part interview set to air Thursday and Friday.
Savannah, 54, said in between tears, “Someone needs to do the right thing, we are in agony. We are in agony. It is unbearable.
“And to think of what she went through, I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night, and in the darkness, I imagine her terror, and it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought and I will not hide my face, but she needs to come home now.”
Kotb explained how the rest of the interview will feature her good friend discussing the investigation, her faith, and how she is coping with the situation.
The interview comes days after Savannah pleaded with the kidnapper in a statement to station KVOA, which Pack told Page Six was a “deliberate” move, as staying relevant in the news cycle is an “uphill fight” and investigators “have not helped keep the case in front of the public.”
“Law enforcement has not held a press conference in over a month, and it had been nearly three weeks since the family last made any public appeal before Saturday night,” Pack explains. “When investigators go dark and the media moves on, tip volume likely drops. That is just the nature of it.”
Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1 after missing a virtual church service.
The 84-year-old was abducted in her sleep and “harmed” in the process, with authorities confirming a trail of her blood seen outside of her home was identified as hers.
Video and photos of a masked individual were released to the public on Feb. 10, as the images showed the individual breaking into Nancy’s home with gloves and a backpack.
Authorities have made no arrests in the case, though multiple people have been questioned. The investigation remains ongoing.
Savannah and her siblings, Annie and Camron, have been multiple public pleas for the safe return of their beloved mother.

Best Amazon Big Spring Sale 2026 beauty deals: Dyson, Medicube, more
These springtime deals are in full bloom.
While Amazon’s Big Spring Sale includes everything from tech to home goods, it’s also the prime time to shop deals on beauty products from luxury and drugstore brands alike.
Below, we’ve rounded up top deals on some of Hollywood’s favorites, from trendy K-beauty buys to the moisturizer Oprah called “hands down the best.”

Alix Earle once took her TikTok followers along for an appointment with dermatologist Dr. Kiran Mian, who recommended these exfoliating pads.
Mian later raved about the K-beauty buy in a Page Six Style interview, saying: “Medicube Zero Pore Pads have the perfect balance of soothing ingredients with effective exfoliants. Using actives requires special attention to our skin barrier.”
When we tried them out ourselves, we were equally impressed. And Kyle Richards is also a fan, having raved about the pads on Amazon Live.

Plenty of stars are eyeing these energizing under-eye gel masks. Kyle Richards, Lala Kent and Paige DeSorbo (to name but a few) have all included them in recent Amazon livestreams.
They’ve also racked up an impressive 4.3-star average out of over 44,000 (!) reviews thus far, with customers calling them “impressive” and “nice and hydrating.”

It’s a great time to try A-lister-approved vitamin C serums, too — including this one Kyle Richards called “a miracle” in an Amazon Live, saying she “can automatically see a difference” a day after using it.

Plenty of superstars swear by Superhero Mascara, including Jennifer Lopez. The pop star spotlighted the bestseller in her Vogue “Beauty Secrets” video, calling it the “most important part” of her makeup routine.

When Bethenny Frankel tried this plumping lip oil, she was immediately “shooketh.”
“I’m not kidding … if you said they were $60, I would believe you,” she raved in a sponsored Instagram video. “I promise you this is better than any expensive lip oil.”

Give your skincare routine a boost with this device that’s been linked to everyone from Kylie Jenner to Hailey Bieber to Kim Kardashian.
“The pore-care mode is my secret for super smooth makeup application,” Kardashian revealed on Poosh’s 2026 holiday gift guide.
Alix Earle also raved about it in a “GRWM” video, saying: “It’s like little tiny zaps; it kind of hurts, but in a good way.”

From duchesses to Bravolebs, plenty of stars swear by this collagen cream. Meghan Markle featured the pretty pink goop on her now-defunct ShopMy page, while Lala Kent told Amazon Live viewers she’d ordered at least two tubs of the stuff.
“I put it kind of everywhere … all over my face, my neck [and] my chest,” the “Vanderpump Rules” star explained.

Alix Earle discovered this body oil on “Dancing With the Stars,” telling E! it “smells amazing and gives such a nice glow.”
“I never really used body oil before the past few months on ‘Dancing With the Stars,’ and now I love it,” she added, concluding that she’s “obsessed” with the hydrating, glow-boosting beauty buy.

Few pout products are as iconic as Clinique’s Black Honey hue. Julia Roberts, Kate Moss and Liv Tyler all wore the ’90s classic it back in the day, while Emilia Clarke and Reese Witherspoon have swiped it on more recently.

While Oprah’s praised plenty of products over the years, not just any beauty buy made the cut for her “Ultimate Favorite Things” list in 2010.
“It’s hands down the best moisturizer I’ve ever used,” she raved of this Philosophy cream, saying she’d already been using it for a decade. (During her talk show’s farewell season, her face even appeared on the product’s packaging.)

Don’t sleep on deals on this hydrating lip mask, which our editors adore and everyone from Kate Hudson to Kendall Jenner to Brooke Shields has raved about. (Should you prefer a little glow during the daytime, too, there’s also a deal on the brand’s Laneige Lip Glowy Balm.)

For nearly three years, Bethenny Frankel’s been saying nothing but positive things about this anti-aging moisturizer, even calling it “probably the biggest beauty discovery I ever made.”
“It is so elite, it is so rich, it is so hydrating … it’s beyond,” she once raved on TikTok.

“Southern Charm” star (and former professional hairstylist) Madison LeCroy loves this “miracle” hair product so much, she has at least three bottles.
“So good … definitely one of my top five products,” she raved on Amazon Live of the luxe leave-in, which is designed to strengthen and smooth hair while repairing damage.

Hailey Bieber shared an Instagram Story snap of this French drugstore formula on Instagram Stories this year, saying she “couldn’t live without” the stuff.

Elemis’ rich cream earned Bethenny Frankel’s coveted “expensive but worth it” stamp of approval.
“This also reduces the appearance of fine lines,” she raved of the product on Instagram, saying it “feels like the richest, bounciest hydrating water cream.”

This sheer sunscreen is a clear favorite for stars like Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Sydney Sweeney and Kyle Richards (to name but a few).
“It’s a miracle,” the latter “RHOBH” star said during an Amazon Live of the SPF. “I cannot say enough good things about this.”

Wrap it up, we’ll take it. Everyone from Khloé Kardashian to Paige DeSorbo has raved about Dyson’s luxe, multitasking hairstyling system. (DeSorbo even went as far as telling Amazon Live viewers it “changed [her] life.”)

$500 still not quite in your budget? Hannah Brown and Lisa Vanderpump both swear by Shark’s under-$350 hair tools.
The latter reality TV icon told us she recommends the device “all the time,” while Brown bought a second one to ensure she’d never be without it.
