The cast of the iconic 1980's film "The Breakfast Club" – Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Judd Nelson, Anthony Michael Hall and Emilio Estevez – reunited for the first time in 40 years during a pop culture event in Chicago. 

On Saturday, the former cast mates took the stage at C2E2 to reminisce about their experiences making the classic coming-of-age movie, in which five students from different high school cliques bond while serving Saturday detention together. 

"I feel really very emotional and moved to have us all together," Ringwald, who played Clarie Standish in the movie, told the crowd, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

While other members of the cast have reunited in the past, this was the first time Estevez joined them. 

"We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here." Ringwald added. "I feel really moved that we’re all together."

Estevez, who played star athlete Andrew Clark, admitted that joining the reunion was "something that finally I felt I needed to do just for myself."

"This one felt special, it’s here in Chicago where we made the film," he said. "It’s obviously the 40th anniversary, and it just felt like it was time. Somebody told me that Molly said, ‘Well, does Emilio just not like us?’ And that broke my heart. And I went, ‘No, of course I love all of them.’ And that just made sense, so here I am."

At one point during the panel, Nelson, who played delinquent John Bender, said he didn't think it'd take this long for everyone to reunite. But this time, he, Estevez and Ringwald were together, along with Hall, who played socially awkward Brian Johnson, and Sheedy, who starred as shy loner Allison Reynolds.

"I always felt in a weird way that the work was half done, that at some point we would all get back together – because there were too many questions by everyone, ‘What happens on Monday?’ The film is about the fact that everyone has to make that decision for themselves [about] what happens on Monday. But I felt, personally, that it was one shoe and I needed the second shoe, and that could only come from John," Nelson said, referring to the movie's late writer and director John Hughes.

"So his passing was profound for me, because it’s like the work will always be in a circle leaning one direction," he added. "What we needed was the one to counterbalance it, because Hughes explained to us the differences between the young and old. So now is the time for him to show us where we meet in the end, because we’re all older now, but we’re not going to get that, which is sad. But in a way, Hughes has been telling us, ‘Think for yourself.'"

Fans were quick to share their reaction to the reunion on social media. 

"Love seeing this, great movie!" one user wrote on X. 

"Fantastic. Great for fans but I hope they enjoyed getting back together and recognizing what an impact that movie had / has on so many," another wrote. 

Last year, Ringwald – who had recently watched "The Breakfast Club" with her daughter – reflected on the movie in an interview with The Times.

"There is a lot that I really love about the movie, but there are elements that haven’t aged well – like Judd Nelson’s character, John Bender, who essentially sexually harasses my character," she told the outlet.

"I’m glad we’re able to look at that and say things are truly different now."

Mandy Moore has never shied away from voicing her opinions. 

On Tuesday, the "This Is Us" actress took to social media to express her frustration with Amazon after a package was allegedly delivered to her in-laws' home that was destroyed in the LA fires. 

"Do better, Amazon. Can we not have better discretion than to leave a package at a residence that no longer exists? This is my mother and father-in-law’s home. Smh," Moore wrote on her Instagram stories alongside a photo of the alleged package in front of the demolished home.

"We’ve reached out to Ms. Moore via Instagram to apologize for this and to ask for more information from her in-laws so we're better able investigate what happened here," Amazon spokesperson Steve Kelly told Fox News Digital. "For weeks, we’ve advised those who are delivering on our behalf in southern California to use discretion in areas that were impacted by wildfires – especially if it involves delivering to a damaged home – that clearly didn’t happen here."

That same day, Moore - who evacuated last month with her husband, Taylor Goldsmith, and their three children - detailed the harrowing experience in a separate post. 

"We never got an evacuation notice," she began her lengthy post on Instagram alongside a photo of the destroyed home. "Sometimes in the quieter moments of processing the last month, I play the game of what would have happened if I didn’t have my phone next to me, playing my typical ‘piano for deep sleep’ mix as I nursed Lou before bed, so I could answer the call from my brother-in-law? It was 6:45 p.m. and he told me he, his wife, and our niece were evacuating, grabbing my in-laws (his parents) and getting the heck out of Dodge and we should do the same."

"I calmly walked downstairs and relayed this to my husband and without skipping a beat, we promptly packed up the kids (in their pjs), our dog, and scrambled to find our 3 cats as the power went out," she continued. "I’ll never forget Taylor trying to figure out how to manually open our two little garage doors (they’d just finished construction around Thanksgiving and we’d just started using them—) in the harrowing 60 mph winds, as the sky glowed a dark red and ash started to fall all around us. We raced across town amidst fallen trees on the freeway to the safety of our dear friend’s place, got the kids down, and then I raced to Target to grab a litter box and some water, impulsively refreshing the watch duty app over and over."

Moore said that while they found out their home is "still standing," the contents are "near a total loss."

"Clothes, furniture, pretty much everything will have to be disposed of…maybe even the walls too," she wrote. "We won’t be there for a very long time as it and the neighborhood itself get sorted out and cleaned and the rebuilding starts. I say all of this because i’m struggling. Yes we are exceedingly lucky to technically still have the structure of a home. But also… do we still have a home? I think my definition is in flux. The physical space? No. It goes without saying that our sweet brood and our pets are ALL that matters and home is where we are together… but having a sanctuary and safe space to feel settled really goes a long way too."

While the "This Is Us" actress expressed her gratitude for the safety of her family, she shared her heartfelt condolences for those who lost everything. 

"Real human beings across this town, regardless of their jobs or socioeconomic status, lost the life they’d come to know and count on in an instant," she wrote. "My whole heart is with them. Every one of them. This place, our home and the town itself, was our dream and I hope in time it will feel like that again… just a slightly different one."

Moore shared the emotional moment she and her family found out her home was "indeed gone."

"We held each other, processed the unimaginable, and then went back to Target (I swear this isn’t sponsored) to buy some clothes because we actually took nothing with us, fully expecting to come back the next morning," she wrote. "It wasn’t for another few hours that we would find out that much of our property had burned down, but our home itself was miraculously still standing. And not just that, but as we’ve all come to realize, our entire community was gone. Our neighbors. Our neighborhood. Our family and friends."

"A month removed, I find myself drifting back to Altadena, driving up and down the streets while Lou naps in the car, still not able to fully comprehend all of it or what it means, or on my less optimistic days, how any of us move forward," she concluded. "I’m reaching out and asking for help and guidance on how to process this trauma because my brain and heart are so deeply broken."

Last month, the actress took to Instagram to share that her brother-in-law, Griff, and her sister-in-law, Kit, lost their home in the Eaton Fire. She shared that Griff and Kit are expecting their first baby soon, and "they need our support now more than ever."

"Griff is a touring musician and also lost his entire arsenal of drums/percussion he uses to make a living. It’s all so much. So many have asked how to help during this unimaginable and stressful time…Please consider donating and sharing to help them rebuild," Moore wrote.

Moore later edited her caption to address people who are concerned about whether she plans on financially helping her family.

"And people questioning whether we’re helping out our own family or attributing some arbitrary amount of money google says someone has is NOT helpful or empathetic," she wrote. 

"Of course we are. Our buddy Matt started this go fund me and i’m sharing because people have asked how they can help them. We just lost most of our life in a fire too. Kindly F OFF. no one is forcing you to do anything," she concluded.

Robert Wagner is making sure he’s in top shape for his 95th birthday. 

The "Hart to Hart" actor’s daughter, Natasha Gregson Wagner, shared a video of her father doing a vigorous workout on his big day, Feb. 10. 

Wagner's representative told Fox News Digital the legendary actor "works out regularly" and shared that he celebrated his milestone birthday "with a nice dinner at French-American bistro Cache Cache restaurant in Aspen."

NATALIE WOOD’S DAUGHTER CALLS ROBERT WAGNER ‘COURAGEOUS’ FOR SPEAKING OUT IN DOC

"Still doing things his way at 95 or Happy Birthday to my old man who turns 95 today!" Natasha posted on Instagram, as the Frank Sinatra song, "My Way," played in the background.

Wagner was all smiles as he exercised on several workout machines and stretched his muscles. 

As her father did leg lifts, Natasha asked, "How's it going?" "The Pink Panther" actor replied, "It’s going pretty good."

On Wagner's official Instagram account, a video was shared with photos of him growing up and highlighting his illustrious Hollywood career.

"Happy 95th Birthday to the legendary Robert Wagner!" the social media post began.

"For over seven decades, he has graced our screens with unforgettable performances, timeless charm, and an enduring legacy in Hollywood. From It Takes a Thief to Hart to Hart, from The Pink Panther, The Towering Inferno to Austin Powers, he has captivated audiences with his talent and charisma."

The caption continued, "Today, we celebrate not just an incredible career but an incredible man."

Wagner married Natalie Wood in 1957, but the couple called it quits in 1962. They would go on to remarry in 1972 and were together until Wood’s passing. The couple raised Natasha and shared a daughter named Courtney Wagner.

On Nov. 29, 1981, when Natasha was just 11 years old, her father, Wagner, came home with devastating news – her mother Natalie had died in a drowning accident while the couple was on their boat in the waters of Catalina Island with actor Christopher Walken.

In 2020, Natalie opened up for the first time since her mother’s death and shared what it was like growing up with the Hollywood star. She additionally shared how the family coped with the grief for decades. 

"It was really cathartic for me," Natasha told Fox News at the time about creating the special. 

"It was really healing for me. It was such an incredibly positive experience, just seeing the home movies, getting into her journals, and listening to people talk about her. It was a collaboration of everything that I remember my childhood to be. So more than challenging to revisit, it was truly healing."

Fox News Digital's Stephanie Nolasco contributed to this report. 

Contributing to the saturation of wives-focused television series in the 2010s was "Mob Wives," a docu-series following the lives of Italian women married to men serving prison sentences for mob-related crimes.

The reality show starred main protagonists Drita D'Avanzo, Carla Facciolo, Karen Gravano and Renee Graziano, daughter of infamous Bonanno crime family consigliere Anthony Graziano, and detailed tumultuous friendships and marriages, chaos and brutal banter.

"I received a call from a producer," Kelly Gorsky, a specialist in therapy, psychology and anger management, told Fox News Digital. "He said, ‘I have a complicated situation, a complicated potential client. Can you handle a difficult person, and would you be open to possibly treating them on a TV show?"

'MOB WIVES' STAR RENEE GRAZIANO SPEAKS OUT AFTER ARREST, CAR CRASH: ‘GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE’

Since 2007, Gorsky has treated clients through her private practice.

With over 1 million viewers per episode, Season One of "Mob Wives" aired recorded sit-down sessions between Gorsky and Graziano.

"I learned to be challenged," Gorsky said. "I actually learned composure, self-filtering, self-control, self-regulation, even when a client attempts to place you in very uncomfortable circumstances."

Season One offered viewers a look into the stages of grief as a major story line unfolded in Graziano’s life. Her former husband, Hector "Junior" Pagan, was revealed as an FBI informant who wore a wire and snitched on her father. Graziano detailed her struggles to Gorsky during weekly sessions.

She acknowledged one key takeaway was learning how to support a client through the most challenging and unusual circumstances.

‘MOB WIVES' STAR NATALIE DIDONATO HAS BEEN FOUND AFTER BEING REPORTED MISSING: MOTHER

"Whatever they wanted to use out of that 50-minute session, it was out of their discretion," she said. "They got to use whatever content they wanted."

Unsure about the value of sessions recorded in an industrial building for viewers’ entertainment, Gorksy didn’t sign on for additional seasons.

The show aired for six seasons. The final episode aired one month after beloved "Mob Wives" cast member Angela Raiola, known as "Big Ang," died from complications of lung cancer.

Gorsky authored the book "Anger Management: 101," providing insights on how individuals can avoid engaging in or propelling arguments. She details coping skills, tools and information for an alternative to anger, which she initially applied to her own life.

"I had a tremendous amount of anger, friction, yelling, screaming, arguing, and it was just a roller coaster," she said, describing her childhood. "It wouldn’t stop."

"Anger is a pretty healthy emotion that provides you with a cue that something is wrong," Gorsky said.

The court-approved book is written in short chapters, and clients are encouraged to work through them gradually.

"The end goal is to make better decisions because you have better skills to resolve conflicts," Gorsky said.

"Even if you’re the most reactive individual, most of the time, everything is preplanned," she said. "All your plans, situations, people, events, gatherings; you know whom you’re with. You know who the people are. You know what the usual conflicts are."

Gorsky recommends planning management of expectations and responses versus flying blind and welcoming the alternative.

"Usually circumstances are predictable," she said.

Pop star Madonna took a swipe at the Trump administration's wave of executive orders with a social media message made in solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.

"It’s so sad to watch our new Government slowly dismantling all the Freedoms we have been fighting for and WON over the years," the 66-year-old singer wrote in an X post on Tuesday. 

After adding a pride flag and broken heart emojis, she concluded the post by urging her fans, "Don’t give up the Fight!"

The "Material Girl" and "Vogue" singer's post came hours after Trump signed an executive order titled "Prioritizing Military Excellence and Readiness," which bars transgender Americans from serving in the military.

MADONNA SHARES RARE GLIMPSE OF HER 6 CHILDREN TOGETHER IN LAVISH CELEBRATION FOR 66TH BIRTHDAY

Last week, Trump also signed an executive order recognizing only two sexes – male and female – in all areas of the federal government, also mandating that the government adhere to biological sex rather than gender.

Conservatives lauded the move as a "return to common sense," but critics met the decision with scrutiny.

Madonna, who has been an outspoken advocate for the LGBTQ+ community in the past, was also an outspoken critic of Trump during his first term in office.

In 2017, she delivered a profanity-laced speech at the Women's March in Washington, D.C., shortly after Trump assumed office for his first term.

"I have thought an awful lot about blowing up the White House," she said at the time, before adding that she "knows this won't change anything."

The soundbite made headlines, earning rage among those in Trump's corner. After Trump defeated former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in Nov. 2016, Madonna said his victory "felt like someone died."

"It wasn't a bad dream that I had," she added at the time, saying she wanted to "rain on [Trump's] parade."

Rock star and actor Marilyn Mason is in the clear after a four-year probe into allegations of sex assault and domestic violence, according to Los Angeles District Attorney Nathan Hochman's office.

The 55-year-old Manson, whose real name is Brian Warner, had already fended off similar accusations in civil lawsuits. He has always denied the allegations.

In a statement, Hochman cited two factors in the decision. First, the statute of limitations has expired on domestic violence allegations. Second, authorities said they could not prove sex assault beyond a reasonable doubt.

PROSECUTOR TO ‘REVIEW’ MARILYN MANSON RAPE ALLEGATIONS AFTER VICTIM CALLS OUT DA WEEKS BEFORE ELECTION

"We recognize and applaud the courage and resilience of the women who came forward to make reports and share their experiences, and we thank them for their cooperation and patience with the investigation," the DA's office said in a statement. "While we are unable to bring charges in this matter, we recognize that the strong advocacy of the women involved has helped bring greater awareness to the challenges faced by survivors of domestic abuse and sexual assault."

Hochman's predecessor, George Gascon, announced in October that he was reviewing the investigation after Manson accuser Esme Bianco, who played Ros on "Game of Thrones," went public with allegations that the embattled prosecutor had "mishandled" her case from the start and sat on it for two years without making a decision on whether to file charges.

Bianco sued Manson in 2021, alleging violent sexual assault, trafficking and abuse. Through an attorney, the rock star denied the allegations as "provably false." The sides settled out of court in 2023.

MARILYN MANSON 'IMMEDIATELY' DROPPED FROM RECORD LABEL FOLLOWING ABUSE ALLEGATIONS

Court documents show that another Manson accuser dropped her own case and claimed that Bianco and Evan Rachel Wood manipulated her into leveling false accusations against him, according to a source close to the legal team.

Manson has also been accused of sexual and physical abuse by actress Evan Rachel Wood, his former fiancée, as well as other women, including one who was 16 at the time of her alleged assault. Some of the claims have already been tossed out in court.

Unrelated legal troubles also led to a 20-hour sentence of community service in New Hampshire after he allegedly blew his nose on a videographer.

Bianco had endorsed Hochman on the campaign trail.

MARILYN MANSON ACCUSED OF SEXUALLY ASSAULTING MINOR IN 1990S IN NEW LAWSUIT

The DA's office said it was acknowledging and commending Manson's accusers regardless of the outcome. The attention on the case helped lead to an extension of the statute of limitations for domestic abuse locally and in other parts of the country.

"Due to their efforts, victims of domestic violence have a greater voice in our criminal justice system and prosecutorial offices around the country have improved tools to hold domestic violence abusers accountable for their actions," the DA's office said.

Andie MacDowell is battling a painful neuromuscular disorder.

"I have piriformis syndrome, so it's a muscle that kind of clamps down on my sciatic nerve, and it was shooting down my leg," MacDowell shared on "The Drew Barrymore Show."

"I thought I was going to have hip replacement — thank God, my hips are fine," she remarked.

ANDIE MACDOWELL EMBRACES HER WRINKLES, SAYS GETTING OLDER 'DOESN'T FEEL LESS SEXY'

Piriformis syndrome occurs when your piriformis muscle compresses your sciatic nerve and results in inflammation. It can cause pain or numbness in your buttock and down the back of your leg. It can happen on one side of your body or both, according to the Cleveland Clinic. 

The 66-year-old actress added that she practiced daily exercises to mitigate any pain. 

"I have to work my tiny little bottom and my hips. I have to work the bottom and work my hip. I just do it every day… it doesn’t hurt anymore… it’s a miracle," said MacDowell.

During her appearance, MacDowell made a vulnerable admission about her health, saying she thought she was "literally falling apart" after she started riding her indoor bike "like a crazy person."

"It's not appropriate for my body, and I ended up with bad knees… a bad hip," she explained. 

"The good news is my pieces are fine," MacDowell said. "My knees are good except for aging. They've aged."

She continued, "I think as you age… lift weights, work with a [personal trainer] PT person to build your muscles."

The "Groundhog Day" alum additionally shared that she left Hollywood for a simpler life in South Carolina.

During her interview, MacDowell touched on how she’s coped with her children growing older and moving out.

"Everything changes, it’s a hard shift," she confessed. "You hear about how a lot of mothers… are happy… they’re free… I didn’t have that feeling, I still don’t have that feeling. I’ve had to work really hard on my independence."

The "St. Elmo’s Fire" actress shares three children with her ex-husband, Paul Qualley — daughters Margaret and Rainey, along with their son Justin. Both daughters have followed in their mom’s acting footsteps.

Throughout the course of her career, Lauren Sánchez has exuded confidence in everything she does. From her early days as an on-air journalist to becoming a high-powered philanthropist and licensed pilot, the 55-year-old New Mexico native has yet to slow down. 

"Lauren has amazing intuition," her fiancé, Amazon's executive chair, Jeff Bezos, told Vogue in 2023. "She sees things that other people don’t see. She’s really very sensitive to other people and what they’re thinking."

While there's no doubt Sánchez can find success with any endeavor, it's her approach to fashion and her evolution of style that has recently gained the attention of many. 

JEFF BEZOS’ FIANCÉE LAUREN SANCHEZ SPARKS BACKLASH AT TRUMP INAUGURATION WITH LINGERIE-INSPIRED OUTFIT

On Monday, Sánchez turned heads while attending President Donald Trump's inauguration wearing a white, tailored Alexander McQueen pantsuit with a blazer that exposed her lacy bra. 

The look, which she has rocked a few different times before, had fans questioning her motive.

"Really, a bra plainly visible," one user wrote on X. "Today is NOT a night club event. Show some class & dignity."

However, some were quick to come to Sánchez's defense. 

"Girl you ate that inaugural look don’t pay attention to no haters," one user commented, to which Sánchez liked. 

Comedian Whitney Cummings took to social media to semi-defend Sánchez's wardrobe as well. 

"We are not going to hate on this woman. She is a businesswoman and her decisions have gotten her this far," she said in a video posted to Instagram on Tuesday. "I respect this woman’s judgment. We all wish we had it, let’s be honest."

"I don’t blame her," she added. "I blame white lace. White lace always looks cheap. … She’s with the head of Amazon, and she looks like she got that top on Temu."

Sánchez was a good sport about the video by commenting with a single red heart.

The future Mrs. Bezos is no stranger to scrutiny, especially when it comes to her appearance. 

Kick-starting her career as an anchor and reporter at various local news stations in Phoenix and Los Angeles throughout the '90s and early 2000s, the mother of three never shied away from flaunting her curves. 

"I always found it interesting that people say, ‘Well, Lauren, you definitely dress more for men.’ I actually dress for myself," she told Vogue in 2023. 

But her look back then has undoubtedly evolved to what it is today.

"Her style hasn’t changed any more than anyone else’s style would change throughout their life. Lauren embraces, and I’m sure works very hard at, her body and is vocal through her clothing choices," Amanda Massi, celebrity stylist, told Fox News Digital. 

"Daring vs. conservative, bold vs. reserved style, it doesn’t matter," she added. "Style is a physical representation of your personality and lifestyle, but it’s important to dress appropriately for the given occasions."

While Sánchez often opted for more conservative yet sexy looks in the past, these days she continues to push the boundaries with plunging necklines, body-hugging silhouette gowns and more.

LAUREN SANCHEZ TONES DOWN LOOK AFTER BACKLASH FOR RACY INAUGURATION OUTFIT

"I really think I am coming into who I am, and I know what feels good," Sánchez, whose favorite designers include Christian Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Valentino, told Vogue. 

As for her inspirations, Sánchez looks to Salma Hayek and Amal Clooney.

"Why? Because they dress for who they are, and that authenticity, I think, comes through," she told the outlet.

Massi said Sánchez's fashion-forward approach says a lot about who she is and how she feels in her own body.

"As a maximalist stylist with a majority of my female clients embracing a daring and bold look, I strongly feel that what you wear sends a message to the world before you have the chance to speak; so it’s important to make the right impression within the context of where the outfit is being worn," said Massi. "Lauren’s fashion choices say that she is comfortable in her own skin and is proud of her body."

Behind the glitz and glam, however, Sánchez prefers a more downplayed look while in the comfort of her home. 

"You see her, this beautiful force all done up in ball gowns, but the truth is most of the time we are on the couch in sweats and yoga pants playing Sloppy Dice or Heads Up on our phones," Sánchez's sister, Elena Sánchez Blair, told Vogue in 2023.

After Carrie Underwood received mixed reactions for agreeing to perform at President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration on Monday, Lee Greenwood is coming to the country star's defense. 

"Carrie Underwood is a great artist," the "God Bless the USA" singer told Fox News Digital on Friday. "A great singer. I've sang with her before. She will do a great job singing at the Capitol with ‘America the Beautiful.’"

"I'll sing before the President takes his oath," he added. "She will sing after. And just the moment will be magic. For those people who have something negative to say, I say keep it to yourself. Don't attack a friend of mine who is here for the same reason as I am to inaugurate the 47th President of the United States."

LEE GREENWOOD SAYS THE 'PENDULUM HAS SWUNG,' SENSES A CONSERVATIVE REVIVAL IN AMERICA

"I love our country and am honored to have been asked to sing at the inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event," Underwood, who will be joined by the Armed Forces Choir and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club, said in a statement. "I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future."

While some criticized her, including Joy Behar of "The View", others were quick to offer their support. 

CARRIE UNDERWOOD JOINED BY VILLAGE PEOPLE, LEE GREENWOOD AT TRUMP INAUGURATION EVENTS

During an episode of the "Amy & T.J." podcast last week, T.J. Holmes said, "You better believe a lot of her fans and a lot of people are split on her participation — you can go look up her response if you'd like — but she's performing. Hey, it's the damn ... it's an inauguration. It's an American event, it's a patriotic event in a lot of ways, and it's just a beautiful event that happens every four years in this country. To participate in it, who wouldn't say yes to that? Does it matter who the president is? Can you not participate because people have an issue with politics or the policies or the person?"

"Yeah, I think that Carrie Underwood made the decision that was right for her, and she has a beautiful voice, and I can't wait to hear it," Amy Robach added. 

As for Greenwood — who has performed a handful of times for Trump-related events, including the 2017 inauguration and the 2024 Republican National Convention — the singer said it is a "great privilege" to be hitting the stage again at such a historical event.

"To be included in this, I mean, there's thousands and thousands of people who had loved to be here in Washington, D.C., to watch this live. And there will be a bunch. But to be on stage with him, it's just a great privilege."

Greenwood said he's looking forward to what the next four years will bring.

"To my President, Donald Trump, we have confidence in you that the next four years, as I spoke to you at Mar-a-Lago, you are a peacemaker," he told Fox News Digital. "You're going to change the way the world thinks about America. We are all on board about MAGA and Making America Great Again. From my father's time in the Navy, in the Merchant Marine during World War Two and my wife's father's tenure in the Army, we know that you respect the military, and you use it wisely. Just thank you for all that you will do for all the rest of us. The citizens of America stand with you."

Trump's presidential inauguration events will feature performances by Underwood the Village People and Greenwood.

Kelly Osbourne slammed celebrities who she thinks are using the California fires as a "photo op."

"Is it just me being my normal overthinking, cynical self or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op to say, ‘Look, I’m helping, I’m doing this, I’m doing that?’" she asked in a TikTok video earlier this week. 

"I don’t believe you help because you get attention for helping, I believe you just help because you want to. I’m so confused, I think it’s so wrong," Osbourne, 40, added. "No one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home."

Her comments come after Hollywood actress Justine Bateman accused Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle of using the Palisades Fire as a "photo op."

"Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers," Bateman, 58, wrote to X on Saturday evening. "What a repulsive 'photo op' they achieved."

Video captured by Fox 11 Los Angeles showed Harry and Markle in Pasadena, mingling with the city's mayor, Victor Gordo.

Fox News Digital additionally learned that Prince Harry and Markle had opened their home to friends and family forced to evacuate, also donating clothing, children's items and other essentials to help the affected community.

Meanwhile, other celebrities, including Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, criticized artists who have engaged in self-promotion during the fires.

Lee, 62, took to social media earlier this week to slam celebrities who are promoting albums and tours as Los Angeles has been severely damaged by the fires.

"Guys right now nobody gives a flying f--- when your record drops or the next concert is when so many people are in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time!"

He concluded his post with, "I get that some comic relief is always [needed], but Jesus Christ leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can."

Mötley Crüe paid tribute to those heavily impacted by the Los Angeles fires, as Lee’s band shared their sentiments on social media on Jan. 9.

The massive and deadly fires broke out in the Los Angeles area on Jan. 7, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee for safety as their homes and businesses were destroyed. Officials on Thursday said more than 30 people remain missing while two additional deaths brought the number of those dead to 27.

In a report released Thursday evening, the County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner confirmed that 10 people were killed in the Palisades Fire, and 17 people were killed in the Eaton Fire.

"We continue to work with multiple partners, not only in the recovery of remains, but then ultimately the identification of the deceased and then the notification to the next of kin," Los Angeles County Sheriff Robert Luna told reporters during a news conference earlier in the day.

Luna said it was likely that more remains would be discovered in these areas, which is why officials are keeping evacuation orders in place around those sites.

Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee criticized artists who are engaging in self-promotion during the California fires. 

Lee, 62, took to social media earlier this week to slam celebrities who are promoting albums and tours as Los Angeles has been severely damaged by the fires. 

"Makes me f---ing sick to see most people just [carrying] on posting on lame ass social media!" Lee wrote on Instagram.

"Guys right now nobody gives a flying f--- when your record drops or the next concert is when so many people are in the middle of one of the biggest disasters of all time!"

He concluded his post with, "I get that some comic relief is always [needed], but Jesus Christ leave it all alone and maybe just stop and see who needs help if you can."

Mötley Crüe paid tribute to those heavily impacted by the Los Angeles fires, as Lee’s band shared their sentiments on social media on Jan. 9.

"To everyone affected by the devastating and unprecedented fires in our hometown of Los Angeles, our thoughts are with you during this very difficult time."

The massive and deadly fires broke out in the Los Angeles area on Tuesday, Jan. 7, forcing tens of thousands of residents to flee for safety as their homes and businesses were destroyed.

Officials say at least 25 people are confirmed dead, and that number is expected to rise. Dozens are reported missing.

Celebrities, including Justine Bateman, called out Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Los Angeles officials to be removed from office amid the fires. 

The actress insisted Newsom be removed after sharing a video of the California governor saying he wants to work with President-elect Trump on fighting the fires.

"I really want other CA voters to see the lack of sincerity, the dismissiveness, the dedication to pretentiousness, and the dereliction of care for the citizens of California," Bateman wrote on X.

"He has always demonstrated this. In every video. You cannot trust this kind of person with any role, and especially not one upon which our wellbeing depends," she added. "Gavin Newsom needs to be removed, before something worse happens here."

In 2024, President-elect Donald Trump managed to earn the support of many high-profile figures – entertainers, athletes, podcasters and executives – who openly aligned themselves with the Make America Great Again message this year and challenged the seemingly insurmountable blue wave of stars who remain Trump cynics.

What was once a rare phenomenon in liberal-leaning Hollywood seemed to become some semblance of mainstream, raising questions about the shifting cultural dynamics in the deep blue bastion and the role of political partisanship in shaping public perception.

From the red carpet to red MAGA hats, these Trump-supporting celebrities set their hearts on Making America – and perhaps Hollywood – Great Again in 2024 and beyond. 

TRUMP'S VICTORY: HOLLYWOOD ELITE WHO VOWED TO LEAVE US IF HE WON ARE  ‘ALL TALK, NO WALK,' EXPERT SAYS

Elon Musk unveiled his now-iconic "Dark MAGA" hat while energizing Trump supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, three months after gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks made the first attempt on the then-presidential candidate's life at the site.

The billionaire entrepreneur, who has long defied conventional norms, "fully" endorsed Trump after the Butler shooting on July 13, posting a clip of the incident on X, formerly Twitter, along with his message of support.

He launched a pro-Trump super PAC, spoke at Trump's massive rally at New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden just before the election, and even agreed to take an active role in his incoming administration by co-leading the newfound Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. 

With the changing of the guard next month, the entrepreneurial duo looks to streamline government processes, cutting out wasteful spending and downsizing a bloated bureaucracy. 

Illustrious podcaster Joe Rogan shocked many when he publicly endorsed Trump on the eve of the 2024 election, crediting Elon Musk for his "compelling case" for then-candidate Trump. 

"The great and powerful @elonmusk. If it wasn't for him we'd be f---ked. He makes what I think is the most compelling case for Trump you'll hear, and I agree with him every step of the way. For the record, yes, that's an endorsement of Trump. Enjoy the podcast," Rogan wrote.

Known for his candid opinions and immense influence, Rogan's last minute endorsement dealt a significant blow to the Harris campaign, which had already struggled to secure a number of key endorsements.

Both Trump and Vice President-elect JD Vance made appearances on Rogan's podcast before the Nov. 5 faceoff, with Trump's funny and authentic demeanor impressing the host. Harris reportedly had plans to sit down with Rogan for an interview as well, but her campaign's insistence that the interview last only one hour – and that Rogan travel to meet her – never worked out.

"Trumpamaniacs" filled the Fiserv Forum at this year's Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin – their cheerleader, WWE legend Hulk Hogan, taking to the stage to show his support shortly after the Butler, Pennsylvania shooting.

Hogan stood on stage in a dark shirt branded with his "Real American Beer" logo under a dark jacket, but he proceeded to take off the latter and rip off the former in true pro-wrestling fashion, revealing a red Trump-Vance shirt.

"Enough was enough, and I said, let Trump-a-mania run wild, brother. Let Trump-a-mania rule again. Let Trump-a-mania make America great again," he shouted. 

"I’ve seen some great tag teams in my time – Hulk Hogan and oooh, yeah, the ‘Macho Man’ Randy Savage. But you know something? I see the greatest tag team of my life standing upon us and getting ready to straighten this country out for all the real Americans," he added. 

The wrestling icon also pumped up the crowd at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally in October, where he tore into Harris for her mishandling of the southern border crisis and praised Trump as the "only man that can fix this country today."

YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul opened up about his support for Trump in October, taking to social media to announce that he had essentially "rescinded" his right to vote in the then-upcoming presidential election by moving to Puerto Rico, but he wanted to make his voice heard somehow.

Paul said he was "nervous" to make the video and weighed how it might impact his career. He proceeded to criticize the current trajectory of the nation that has largely remained under Democratic control for 12 of the last 16 years, asking, "So, if we aren’t happy with the current political state, economic state, environmental state, then who is to blame?" 

"Do the right thing, vote for Donald Trump. Not because I said so, not because Beyoncé said so, but because it’s what’s right… Please, go, for the love of God, go exercise your right to vote on my behalf and vote for Donald Trump in this election. America depends on it," he said.

Paul celebrated Trump's win over Harris shortly after the Fox News desk projected the victory, saying, "The truth and God won in America."

Packers quarterback legend Brett Favre made the crowd roar at the Resch Center in Green Bay, Wisconsin when he spoke out in support of Trump, likening him to the Packers organization by calling him a "winner."

"The United States of America won with his leadership," he told the crowd.

Favre took on an imperative tone as he spoke of the Nov. 5 election, warning that "there’s never been a more important time in our lives than right now."

He also spoke in a language many easily understood, his words rife with football analogies and references to the team that voters in the key swing state adore. He mentioned the definition of insanity – doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting a different result.

"Sounds like the first couple of years of my tenure here with the Packers," he joked. "Mike Holmgren would say, ‘What in the hell are you doing, Brett?’ I said, ‘Hell, I don’t know, Mike.’ But we figured out a way to get it done."

Tethering the example to the Biden-Harris administration, he added, "It would be insane to give Kamala four more years in office."

Former NASCAR driver Danica Patrick voted for the first time ever in the 2024 presidential election, casting her ballot for Donald Trump. 

Patrick, who remains the only woman to win an IndyCar Series race in history, discussed her decision on "Jesse Watters Primetime" in October and speculated that many women reluctant to vote for Trump may have had an issue with his personality. 

"It feels like voting for Donald Trump is like the vote of reason. It’s like the rational, reasonable choice," she said.

"I feel like most of all, though, what this country could be if he gets into office, with all the amazing, brilliant people who are supporting him, I feel like it can not only make America great again, but make America greater than it’s ever been," she added later.

The formerly apolitical racecar driver began paying close attention to the news earlier this year and developed her opinions. She showed her support for the Trump-Vance ticket prior to her discussion with Watters, hosting a Q&A session with Vance in Greensboro, North Carolina in October.

Patrick even made appearances at Trump-related events such as a Trump Team women's tour stop in Atlanta, Georgia and a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania.

Finding rapper and formerly-adamant Trump opponent Amber Rose on stage at any GOP-related event might have seemed unthinkable to some, yet her smile beamed at the crowd as she spoke to delegates and spectators at this year's Republican National Convention.

Her purpose? Explaining how Trump had earned her support.

"I realize Donald Trump and his supporters don’t care if you’re Black, White, gay or straight, it’s all love. And that’s when it hit me, these are my people. This is where I belong," the TV personality said.

Critics on both sides of the aisle hurled insults her way before and after she took the stage, with some conservatives criticizing her for being not conservative enough and some liberal voices calling out the alleged bid to recruit more minority voters.

Not all were critical of her presence, however.

ESPN host Stephen A. Smith came to her defense amid the criticism, saying, "I know that Amber Rose took a lot of hits. Y’all kick rocks with that. She did a good job. She did a good job."

Young conservative Xaviaer DuRousseau said that Rose's addition to the guest list offered evidence that the 2024 RNC would be a "historic event." 

"Amber Rose is one of many Black Americans who finally woke up from the Left's lies after doing her own research about President Trump," he said.

"Reagan" star Dennis Quaid rallied for Trump in Coachella, California weeks before Election Day, telling voters "it's time to pick a side" while comparing and contrasting Trump and Harris' visions for the future.

"Are we going to be a nation that stands for the Constitution? Or for TikTok? Are we going to be a nation of law and order? Or wide open borders? Which is it? Because it's time to pick a side," he said, donning a MAGA hat.

With record-high inflation, hostages in the Middle East and an apparent blanket of malaise over the U.S., he likened the 2024 race to the 1980 faceoff between Ronald Reagan and then-Democratic President Jimmy Carter. 

"I'm going to ask you a question that Reagan asked America back then, and I think it's the question that got him elected. Are you better off than you were four years ago?" Quaid said. 

Earlier this year, Quaid applauded Trump for paying visits to New York neighborhoods after his rally in the South Bronx, suggesting that the move made him appear "more human" to people.

"Sopranos" star Drea de Matteo may call herself a "liberal," but, in her eyes, the "mean-spirited" nature that has possessed the progressive left falls short of the way things should be.

"Say what you want about Trump, and I understand that a lot of people have Trump Derangement Syndrome," she said. "I was one of them. But people can change. And it's not that Trump changed, I changed, and I did my research, and I paid more attention to what was going on."

She criticized celebrities who openly mocked the July assassination attempt against Trump, including "Star Wars" star Mark Hamill and Kyle Gass, a bandmate of actor and musician Jack Black.

"Everybody has their right to their opinion, and they have freedom of speech, so here we are," she told Fox News Digital. "But, again, I'm a liberal. I am a liberal who does not understand how the left has become so rebellious, with not one undertone of peace, love, harmony and compassion. You're supposed to be the party of inclusivity, of love, of peace. And all of a sudden, these are the rioters. These are the mean-spirited folks out there. And I don't understand that."

She called for celebrities who are vehemently opposed to Trump to do some internal reflecting, to ask themselves "why they're so filled with rage."

Comedian, actor and podcaster Russell Brand has been notoriously outspoken, challenging the system and vehemently opposing censorship.

He sounded off on the 2024 election earlier this year, picking Trump as the better candidate for preserving democratic values.

"In a straight choice between Donald Trump and Joe Biden, if you care about democracy, if you care about freedom, I don’t know how you could do anything other than vote for Donald Trump for precisely the reasons that they claim that you can’t," he told RNC spokeswoman Elizabeth Pipko during a June clip of the "Stay Free with Russell Brand" podcast, obtained by Fox News Digital at the time.

President Biden was still a contender in the race at the time, later passing the torch to Vice President Kamala Harris after a debate performance that was widely considered poor.

Brand was also in Milwaukee for this year's Republican National Convention, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and was recently spotted at Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida.

"Shazam!" star Zachary Levi also endorsed Trump this year, revealing the decision while moderating an event in Michigan with former presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard – now both Trump cabinet nominees.

"We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we're going to make it healthy again. And so I stand with Bobby and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump," Levi said in September. 

"Of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there." 

Levi refuted claims that his career had suffered following his Trump endorsement, telling HBO's Bill Maher that it's still "full steam ahead" for several in-progress projects, though he did not yet know what the "ultimate effects" of the endorsement might be.
