NEED TO KNOW

• During a March 31 appearance on Hot Mics with Billy Bush, Mandel said he "didn't mean to embarrass anybody" after Ripa and Mark Consuelos commented on his appearance

• "I hope it ends soon because I didn't mean to cause any disruption," he said of attention on the interaction

Howie Mandel"didn't mean to embarrass anybody" after apologizing toKelly Ripaover their awkward on-airexchange.

The comedian, 70, appeared on a Tuesday, March 31 segment ofHot Mics with Billy Bush, in which he reflected on the aftermath of his recent viralLive with Kelly and Markmoment and apology video.

During the March 23 episode of Ripa andMark Consuelos' daytime talk show, Mandel had an awkward exchange with the hosts, who complimented Mandel's appearance and told him he looked "great" after discussing his age. Mandel argued that the compliment didn't "mean anything" as it came with a "caveat." Days later, he posted a video apologizing to Ripa and explaining that the comment was "meant as a joke."

Now, Mandel said he has regrets about sharing the Instagram post, adding that he "didn't mean to cause any disruption."

"Obviously I told a joke that didn't land well," Mandel said, as he appeared onHot Micswearing a new hairstyle and T-shirt of himself as a child.

He added, "Comedians always say, 'If you can make one person laugh, you're doing the job.' But apparently that's not enough... I'm reading and there's no stopping it and I don't understand. I tried to stop it. I tried to apologize. I agreed with people. I do."

Mandel then said he didn't "know" who got offended by the on-air moment, despite "reading the articles" online. "If somebody is offended, if somebody feels that I did wrong, then I apologize. I don't believe in apologizing but I said, as I said in that post — which, I kind of regret making the post," he said, before Bush asked him why.

"Because I don't think you should apologize for a joke," Mandel said. "And I do agree. People are saying it wherever I go now, I do think I look good. I don't even think the caveat is for 70. I just think I look good."

As Mandel put it, up until "a couple weeks ago," he didn't "really focus" on his appearance. "I feel bad," he said. "I don't know what's going on and I don't know when this will end. And I hope it ends soon because I didn't mean to cause any disruption. I didn't mean to embarrass anybody."

After Bush questioned the famously bald comedian about the "hair on your head" at the end of their discussion, Mandel jokingly sat in silence before storming out of the podcast studio and slamming the door on his way out.

In his apology video, uploaded on Saturday, March 28, the star said he doesn't think a comedian "needs to apologize for a joke" and that it's "hard" for him to do so publicly.

After apologizing to Ripa, Mandel called her "absolutely right." A few comedian friends sounded off about the ordeal in the comment section,as didLive with Kelly and Markexecutive producerMichael Gelman, who commented that Mandel indeed looks great "for your age."

Roseanne Barr fears she will 'die on the surgery table' after doctor told her she has a 'damaged' heart

Roseanne Barrisn't happy about a recent diagnosis from her doctor.

On a new episode of hereponymous podcast, the former sitcom star expressed interest in getting cosmetic surgery — before revealing that the procedure she wants won't be possible due to a recent health update.

"I want one of those ponytail facelifts," the 73-year-old actress said. "But this doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it's damaged."

Barr continued, "I'm so pissed because I'm like, 'I need a new doctor.' He's always sending me to other doctors to check me out, and I'm like, 'Why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing's wrong?' And then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table. I mean, well, it doesn't make any sense."

Despite pushback from her guest and longtime friend Shannon Hughey, the controversial actress lamented that she has no interest in future medical procedures and would prefer to live out her days in hospice care.

"I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into a home," Barr declared. "That is life: living in the hospice. That is where life is worth living, I've seen it."

After describing hospice as "the greatest thing ever," Barr explained, "They know you're dying and they give you morphine."

Barr did not expand on the details of her medical condition, and throughout the winding podcast episode, alternated between sipping red wine and smoking a cigarette.

Best known as the former lead of the long-running ABC sitcomRoseanne, Barr came under fire in 2018 after writinga racist social media postabout former Obama White House advisor Valerie Jarrett. ABC subsequently canceled the revival of her '90s sitcom and ordered a spinoff, The Conners, without Barr, which ran for seven seasons, ending last year. Barr has largely stayed away from Hollywood spaces since the controversy.

In June 2025, Barr opened up about embracing a quieter life in Texas, where she owns a 30-acre ranch that she tends to by trimming trees with a chainsaw and mowing her own property.

"I'm doing a lot of mowing. I've got a really fantastic tractor out here and I'm mowing," she toldFox News Digitallast year. "The only problem is I don't clear the trees quite as good as I should and I'm always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head."

She went on to share that she had recently suffered several injuries, explaining, "I had this one tree… I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor. So, I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds."

Barr shared that it took her an hour to move the tree "inch by inch" before she was able to flip it over and escape.

Ty Herndon reveals drug use after alleged rape on 'Star Search'

Ty Herndon, a country singerand former member of the Tennessee River Boys, is opening up about how an alleged sexual assault early in his career led to years of substance abuse.

Ahead of the release of a new memoir, titled "What Mattered Most,"Herndon, 63,told Peoplethat the "small amount of freedom" he gained from sharing his story felt redemptive.

"I can finally breathe," he told the outlet. Herndon, who is gay, recounts in the memoir, per People, the struggle of coming to terms with his sexuality after a religious upbringing in a Southern Baptist Church. "I didn't realize how much of my life was ruled by [my sexuality]," he told People.

Before he reached peak stardom on the country music dial,Herndon allegeshe was raped by a male staffer while appearing on the reality television competition show "Star Search." The artist, who was then in his 20s, alleges the man was almost 20 years older than him. When he told another staffer on "Star Search" whom he trusted about the assault, Herndon says the person urged him to keep quiet about it.

"It broke my heart," Herndon told People of the alleged assault. "You cannot make sense of it." The singer, who told the magazine that he blamed himself at first, said he's hoping sharing his story will "break that glass" for other male victims of sexual assault.

"I'm in a place now where I'm not defined by what happened to me that night," he said, adding that he has been "finding peace within myself."

"Star Search,"whichaired in the 1980s and '90sand launched the careers of celebrities likeAdam Sandler,Christina AguileraandDave Chappelle, returned to Netflix this year for a revival. Herndon rose to fame after his run on the show, breaking through with his debut single (and the title of his book) "What Mattered Most," which reached the top of the Billboard Country music charts.

That's a wrap on the 2026 Oscar race! Awards season came to an end on March 15 with the 98th Academy Awards, where "One Battle After Another" was crowned best picture in a competitive race with "Sinners."
