One of the most high-profile assistant coach vacancies of the NFL offseason has now been filled.

ThePhiladelphia Eagleshave hiredGreen Bay Packersquarterbacks coach Sean Mannion to be their offensive coordinator, the team announced Thursday.

Mannion, 33, fills a pressing play-calling void after theEaglesfired Kevin Patullo, who served in the coordinator role for just one season after being promoted.

"It was quickly apparent in meeting with Sean that he is a bright young coach with a tremendous future ahead of him in this league," said Eagles coach Nick Siriann in a statement. "I was impressed by his systematic views on offensive football and his strategic approach. Sean's 11 years in the NFL have provided him a great opportunity to learn from and grow alongside some of the best coaches in the game. As a result, he has a wealth of knowledge and experience that will be invaluable to our team moving forward.

The Eagles spoke with several notable candidates for the position, including former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll – who waslater hired as the Tennessee Titans' offensive coordinator– and former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. Ultimately, however, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni opted for a candidate with just two years of coaching experience – and none with play-calling responsibilities.

Mannion joined the Packers' staff as an offensive assistant in 2024 before being promoted prior to last season. A third-round pick out of Oregon State in 2014, he was a longtime backup for the Rams, Vikings and Seahawks before retiring in 2023 and moving directly into coaching.

In Philadelphia, he'll look to re-establish an offense that floundered throughout Philadelphia's unfulfilled bid for a Super Bowl repeat. The Eagles ranked 19th in scoring and 24th in total offense for their lowest finishes in Sirianni's five-year tenure.

Penn Badgleychanneled his inner Captain America to prepare for his latest role.

TheGossip Girlalum has revealed that he took inspiration froma long lineof Marvel actorsand hit the gym to prepare for an upcoming movie. But believe it or not, the role in question didn't require tights, spandex, or any kind of superheroics. Badgley was actually getting buff for his role as Dr. Nicholas Rose in the upcoming adaptation of Sarah Hogle'sYou Deserve Each Other.

"It happened very fast,"  Badgley told costarMeghann Fahyon the Thursday, Jan. 29 episode of hisPodcrushedpodcast. "I signed on right before we had to go [shoot the movie]. I was mostly consumed with losing enough weight, so it just made sense for how maniacal this guy was supposed to be about his body."

He explained, "The way he is written on the page is truly, like, I should have had a shredded eight-pack. I should have had a Marvel body. And I had like a real-life good body, you know what I'm saying? There's a difference."

Badgley is set to star as dentist Nicholas Rose: a stable, unfailingly polite and all-around perfect man who Fahy's Naomi Westfield is days away from marrying. The problem? Both the bride and groom are enduring a serious case of cold feet after realizing that they actually despise one another. So naturally, they begin competing to sabotage the wedding, in the hopes of having the other call it off.

Quickly losing weight and getting buff for a role was a first for Badgley — and the irony of the project wasn't lost on him. "I never had to lose weight and get kind of ripped for a role, so I was just like, 'Of all things [it is for] a f---ing comedy, of course," he joked.

Aside from giving Dr. Nicholas the body he deserves, Badgley said he also prepared by putting a lot of thought into the relationship dynamic between the toxic couple.

"It was important to me, like, 'How are we going to make the first 15 pages work so that the rest of it is smooth sailing?'" he recalled. "It's like, 'Why do these two people get together? Why are they so insanely, crazy competitive and won't give up this insane game, which is the engine of the whole comedic device [and] the whole story?'"

He pointed out that if the story didn't make enough emotional sense from the start, then viewers wouldn't "want to watch past" those opening moments.

In addition to Fahy and Badgley, the rom-com also stars Natalie Morales, Justin Long, Kyle MacLachlan, Ana Gasteyer, Hope Davis, Delaney Rowe, and Lisa Gilroy. Embattled actorTimothy Busfieldwas also set to appear in the movie, but Amazon MGM announced plansto digitally remove his characterafter the actor was charged withchild sexual abuse. Busfield was playing Bernie, the father of Fahy's character.

You Deserve Each Other, which wrapped filming last year, has yet to announce a release date.

NEED TO KNOW

• Singer and reality TV star Aubrey O'Day opens up to PEOPLE about learning she was allegedly sexually assaulted by former mentor Sean "Diddy" Combs, which she has no memory of
  

• O'Day first met Diddy in 2005 when she was a contestant on Making the Band, the MTV reality series which led to the formation of her girl group Danity Kane

• O'Day never reported the alleged assault to authorities — a decision she says she "felt horrible" about after the statute of limitations expired

• O'Day also believes she may have been drugged
  

In the Netflix docuseriesSean Combs: The Reckoning,reality star and singerAubrey O'Day,41, describes her own alleged sexual assault at the hands ofSean "Diddy" Combs.

But O'Day is not recounting the alleged assault from memory. Instead, she reads aloud from an affidavit — a sworn statement filed two years earlier by another woman in a civil case against Combs — describing an incident O'Day says she does not remember experiencing. She says learning about the affidavit has since reshaped her understanding of her past.

In the statement, a witness alleged that in 2005, during the height of Combs' power, O'Day was found naked from the waist down and inebriated in a studio room in New York City — a scene the witness described as being horrifying.According to the account, Combs, who was also known by the moniker Puff Daddy, "was penetrating in her vagina, and there was another stocky light-skinned man with his penis in her mouth." The implication that she may have been drugged landed with particular force.

"I don't drink or anything like that," O'Day says exclusively to PEOPLE via Zoom from Los Angeles during a recent interview. "There was no 'Oh, I could have been,' or 'Oh, I was doing...' There was none of that for me."

The allegation was one of many covered in the explosive documentary released last December, which explores and examines decades of accusations against Combs, who has denied wrongdoing and is still facing nearly a hundred civil lawsuits after being convicted in a federal criminal case in October.

When asked directly whether she believes she was sexually assaulted by Combs, O'Day stops short of certainty. "I just don't feel it would be responsible to say that," explains the San Francisco, Calif., native, who began performing as a child. "I take it very seriously that this is a man's life on the line."

When reached for comment, Combs' spokesperson Juda Engelmayer told PEOPLE, "We will not be addressing individual allegations made in this Netflix hit piece."

O'Day hadn't planned to watch the documentary. "It was hard for me, the day that it came out," she says. That day, she was meant to be at rehearsal, preparing to return to the stage withDanity Kane, the band Combs himself formed in 2005 on the reality seriesMaking the Band.But the film dominated headlines and online chats, making it impossible to avoid.

DirectorAlex Stapletonurged her to wait. "Don't watch it yet," she recalls him telling her. "Wait until the tour is over, or at least rehearsal." O'Day didn't listen. By noon, her body reacted before her mind could catch up. "I was hyperventilating and in tears and sobbing," she says.

The documentary forced her to ask questions she had never fully asked: "What other people are responsible in all of this besides him? What could really possibly make a change and so these things don't continue to occur?"

At the same time, O'Day claims Homeland Security contacted her, placing limits on what she could say both in the50 Cent-produced docuseries and publicly. She verified what she could without crossing legal lines, while also searching for reasons not to believe what she was learning about her own alleged abuse at the hands of Diddy.

"I don't even know if I was raped, and I don't want to know," she said in the film. Still, she searched for answers anyway, reaching out to other women. "I saw things and I reached out to girls… wondering," she says. "Because I saw things and I was like, 'Oh, that must be a thing.'"

O'Day began to reassess her own history with Combs. Years earlier, duringMaking the Band, she claims he sent sexually explicit emails and images. "I don't want to just f--- you, I want to turn you out," O'Day reads aloud in the documentary.

"I can see you being with some motherf----- that you tell what to do. I make my woman do what I tell her to do, and she loves it. I just want and like to do things different. I'm-a finish watching this porn and finish masturbating. I'll think of you. If you change your mind and get ready to do what I say, hit me." The email, dated March 23, 2008, included Combs' standard signature at the time: "God bless. Diddy. God is the Greatest."

O'Day says she repeatedly rebuffed Combs' advances, and she believes the consequences were swift. In 2008, Combs announced her firing fromDanity Kane. "I absolutely felt that I was fired for not participating sexually," O'Day says in the film documentary. She frames her dismissal not as a creative or business decision, but as retaliation, an allegation that reframes what was once packaged as reality-TV drama into something far darker.

Years later, she says she is still grappling with the image of herself that followed — one she believes Combs helped create through comments about her appearance, her attitude and by labeling her "overly raunchy" and "promiscuous."

"I think still, even with this round, during this Danity Kane tour that we just finished, I was still fighting, even with my own bandmates and in the whole situation, the ideas that Puff just blatantly shot out to the world," she says. "It was highly irresponsible, because you know that if I was raunchy or promiscuous, [Combs] would've loved me. And 'bad for business' was never correct, because the band was built around me, according to his words specifically."

Following Diddy's trial, O'Day watched the country debate the split verdict, which resulted in a50-month federal prison sentencefor prostitution-related convictions. He is scheduled for release on May 15, 2028.

She regrets not reporting her alleged assault. When New York's statute window closed in 2023, lawyers urged her to file. She didn't. "I remember the day that the statute closed," she says. "Well, this is it. You're never going to be able to see that type of justice again in your life… It felt horrible."

On her recent tour, O'Day encountered fans who had their own stories of trauma. Night after night. Fans lined up at meet-and-greets, holding her, crying, sharing their own experiences  of assault and survival. They thanked her for being a voice. She absorbed it all.

"I would start off these shows feeling like I was 300 lbs.," she says, explaining she felt like she was carrying the weight of other people's trauma alongside her own.When she landed in the ERin December, it was not because she could not do the job. She says she has never missed a show in over two decades. It was because the job had become inseparable from a reckoning she had not finished processing, in environments that did not always feel safe enough to do so.

What O'Day says she is living inside now is not a clean narrative of victimhood or redemption. It is something far more complicated. She holds empathy and anger at the same time, gratitude and grief in the same breath, clarity and confusion in the same sentence. The documentary, she says, did not give her closure. It gave her perspective.

"The past three months for me have been extreme," O'Day admits. "I've been living and breathing and talking about trauma nonstop. I haven't healed from any of it."

For her, healing is not a finish line. It is a daily choice. "Healing looks like waking up every day and choosing not to carry it," she says. "And when it comes up, recognizing it, taking a few breaths."

When she moved to Bali in 2020 for a year, O'Day had turned to alternative practices that help ground her today. "I got into breathwork, ice baths, saunas, reiki," she says. "Whatever brings your body back to a state of peace."

That, she says, is how she keeps going. "I try to operate from that place and then continue on with my day," O'Day explains. "I don't know that it ever goes away. I've done all kinds of therapy. It doesn't disappear. It just finds a place inside you where it becomes manageable again."

And for now, she says, that is enough to move forward.

Bug Hall, a Hollywood star known for hischild role as Alfalfain Steven Spielberg'sTheLittle Rascals, who last made headlines in 2020 for his arrest overhuffing air duster cansfrom a dumpster, has revealed that he has traded his showbiz life for a quiet living in Arkansas.

In a January 28 interview, Hall identified himself as "a radical Catholic extremist" who has taken a "vow of poverty" and moved his wife and kids to a small area near Mountain Home in the southern U.S. state.

The internet has reacted to Hall's decision with both support and ridicule, with critics asking what the term really means.

According to theDaily Mail, 40-year-old Bug Hall has moved his wife, Jill, whom he married in 2017, and five kids, to an 80-acre plot inArkansas.

Per the outlet, the Hall family currently resides in a campervan with a water well and a generator, but the former actor plans to build them a house within six months.

Hall informed that his family's only bills are for gas to power the generator and their car, and $100 for him and his wife to have cellphones.

He has reportedly donated the fortune he collected as achild star, revealing that his goal is to "maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible."

"If there's any financial need that comes up, I'll go take some work or do an odd job for cash to fulfill that need."

"He seems happy," wrote a social media user in support of Hall's decision, while a second probed, "I have never heard of a radical Catholic extremist. Even nuns and priests are not labeled as such."

Hall's extended family, which includes his younger brother Gemini, their mother Twila, and his stepfather Mark, has also moved to Arkansas and bought plots.

While Hall has left Hollywood, he still documents his life on X.

He regularly posts pictures of his wife and their kids as they celebrate holidays, indulge in nature walks, and more.

In September 2024, Hall made headlines for celebrating the birth of his son,Mark Athanasius Chad Anthony Hall-Barnett, by calling him his "heir" on the micro-blogging platform.

When some on the internet pointed out that he already had four daughters, Hall replied, "I said heir, notdishwasher."

Hall's arrest for inhaling air duster cans on the Fort Worth Highway in Weatherford,Texas, nearly six years ago, did not culminate in charges, but it served as a wake-up call, he revealed in his interview.

The cans, notably, contain chemicals like difluoroethane and tetrafluoroethane, which cause dizziness, euphoria, and hallucination.

They are considered severely harmful, even for a single use, as they can cause sudden heart failure, brain damage, or suffocation.

In his latest press interaction, Hall described his very public arrest as the best thing that ever happened to him.

"I loved making movies. I loved writing, producing, and acting. So God had to shake me up a little harder," he said.

Hall believes his arrest led to an epiphany that he no longer wanted to work a job he described as "basically meaningless, making widgets to entertain people or distract people."

BesidesTheLittle Rascals, Hall is best known for the 2002 Disney filmGet a Clue. In 2022, he earned a Children's Emmy nomination forA Tale Dark and Grimm.

He is also known for co-writingThis is the Year, produced bySelena Gomez.

A January 2024 article forThe Altavista Journalby Alice Prival, an acquaintance of Hall, claims that the former actor was exploited by two men on the set of the film when he was only eight years old.

It further detailed that themolestationcontinued from film to film, leading Hall to pick up substance and alc*hol use.

Some netizens believe Hall's current actions of trying to live a quiet life result from what stardom dealt him very early on in life.

"I read an article years ago. He disclosed that he was violated on that set. So whatever he does after that probably stems from the psychological damage that child ab*se inflicts on a person," one commented, while another wrote, "Are there any child actors who turned out okay?"

Hall's case mirrors that of Tylor Chase from Nickelodeon'sNed's Declassified School Survival Guide, as both of their lives unraveled amid struggles with substance and alc*hol misuse in the aftermath of childhood fame.

The latter former child star grabbed attention for living in homelessness in Southern California and battling substance dependency in September 2025.

In a video shared by influencer Lethal Lalli, whose real name is Citlalli Wilson, 36-year-old Chase looked disheveled, with his hair messed up and clothes visibly torn and soiled.

"Who knows what life gave him to handle," a netizen commented about Hall's journey

PresidentDonald Trumpis suing the Internal Revenue Service and Treasury Department for $10 billion, alleging that they failed to prevent a former IRS employee fromimproperly disclosing his tax returns, and those of his sons and his company, to news outlets.

The lawsuit, filed Thursday at a federal courthouse in Miami, says Trump is suing in his personal capacity, not as president. The other plaintiffs include two of Trump's sons — Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump — and the Trump Organization.

"Defendants have caused Plaintiffs reputational and financial harm, public embarrassment, unfairly tarnished their business reputations, portrayed them in a false light, and negatively affected President Trump, and the other Plaintiffs' public standing," the complaint said.

The Treasury and IRS did not immediately respond to requests for comment Thursday night.

A former IRS contractor, Charles Littlejohn, wassentenced to 5 years in prisonin 2024 after hepleaded guilty the year beforeto leaking Trump's tax records to The New York Times. The Times in 2020 published exclusive reporting thatshowed Trumphad paid only $750 in federal income taxes in 2016 and 2017.
