AARON'S MOM BUYING HIM A 'STAR'
THE loving mom of the late pop star AARON CARTER is desperate to honor him with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise the $85,000 to pay for it. JANE CARTER SCHNECK writes: “The funds will cover the creation, installation, and long-term maintenance of the star. We are coming together as fans, friends, and supporters to honor Aaron Carter’s legacy. Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer.”
Aaron, whose older brother NICK CARTER was a Backstreet Boys member, released his first album at age 10 and became a teen heartthrob with hits like I Want Candy. He later battled legal and mental health issues and accidentally drowned at 34 in 2022 after taking drugs.
AUBREY'S ABORTED SIN CITY WEDDING
Parks and Recreation actress AUBREY PLAZA, who’s preggers with actor boyfriend CHRIS ABBOTT’s baby following the shocking suicide of her director husband JEFF BAENA in January 2025, has dropped a new bombshell - she nearly wed Superbad actor MICHAEL CERA while stoned!
After clicking on the set of the 2010 flick Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, they hooked up for a cross-country ride, got high gobbling cannabis edibles and “almost got married,” she recalls. “We drove to Vegas with a plan to get married and then get divorced right away so we could call each other our ex-wife and ex-husband forever. We thought that would be a really good bit.” Their goofy plan fell through because they got “too high and paranoid.”
The 41-year-old actress says Michael was “very famous [and] recognizable” and “we got in line at the county office... and then everyone started running and we ran... we bailed.” Michael, 37, has also told the wild tale, saying he and Aubrey were looking for an Elvis-type chapel to “get a certificate. I think the idea was to then get a divorce right away.” Now Aubrey’s excited about being a mom, saying: “I’ve always wanted to see what that’s all about, you know.”
AXED BACHELORETTE NOW CLAIMS PTSD
The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stunner TAYLOR FRANKIE PAUL’s stint as the Bachelorette was axed following revelations of violent fights with DAKOTA MORTENSEN, the baby daddy of her 2-year-old daughter, and now she claims she suffers from PTSD! “I was diagnosed with PTSD about two years ago... by more than one therapist... which, I assume is now C-PTSD.”
Complex post-traumatic stress disorder is usually linked to soldiers, but civilians “who experience violence and other trauma” can be victims, says a source, adding that “someone who endures years of abuse from a parent or a partner might develop C-PTSD.” Photos have shown the 31-year-old beauty with bruises on her forehead, neck and arms. Taylor hasn’t named Dakota or anyone else as the cause of her PTSD, notes the source.
LOLA'S TEARS FOR CHARLIE'S STAND-IN
Before she wed CHARLIE SHEEN, her husband from 2002 to 2006, Bond girl DENISE RICHARDS had a heavy romance with actor PATRICK MULDOON. Now, after his tragic heart attack death at age 57 on April 19, LOLA SHEEN – one of Denise’s two daughters with Charlie - says she’d always hoped her mom would end up with Muldoon, who’d stayed close to the actress and her girls.
“I thought you were the one that was supposed [to] be in our lives forever,” Lola, 20, wrote in a social media tribute after Muldoon’s sudden death. “When I think of my childhood I think of you Pat, and it’s gonna be so weird to go on without you in our lives ... thank you for showing everyone around you how to be alive.”

It’s a good time for comedy movie icons EDDIE MURPHY and MARTIN LAWRENCE to make a flick about a pair of funny grandpas-in-law ‘cause that’s what they are.

Besides their personal link, Murphy and Lawrence have to date made two films together, Boomerang and Life.
