Key Points

  • Photos from this month's CinemaCon show "Scottie" near his ear.

  • The SNL alum has undergone the painful and expensive process of having his hundreds of tattoos removed since 2021.

Pete Davidsonhas mostly had less and less ink each time he's been photographed lately.

The formerSaturday Night Livestar had a new tattoo, though, in photos from this month's CinemaCon 2026 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. While Davidson's skin was mostly free of ink, he sported the name of his daughter, Scottie, written close to his ear.

Entertainment Weeklyhas reached out to reps for Davidson.

The star ofDumb Moneyand the upcomingHow to Rob a Banksaid in 2021 that he would be removing his tattoos over the next several years. He was 27 then, and he expected they would "all be gone" by the time he was 30. He's estimated that he's already spent $200,000 on the process.

But it's taken more time — and been more painful — than he had anticipated.

He's acknowledged that it's "pretty horrible" to undergo the removal procedure, which require six weeks of healing before the next session.

"It's like putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer, and then you gotta do maintenance and let it heal properly," Davidson toldVarietyin April 2025. "And it's pretty tough. It sucks, I'm not gonna lie."

He hadn't planned to get rid of all his ink anyway — at least planning to keep a likeness of Hillary Clinton on his right leg — but most of it.

But he'd said it was something he needed to dofor his sobriety.

The new tattoo has special meaning, however. Davidson and girlfriend Elsie Hewittwelcomed his first child, a daughter they named Scottie Rose Hewitt Davidson, on Dec. 12.

Even before the little one's arrival, Davidson had said he was excited about his new role, especially becausehe lost his own father, a New York City firefighter killed as a first responder to the Sept. 11 attacks, when he was 7.

He was even more grateful after the birth.

"Dad life is f---ing awesome," he toldPEOPLEin March. "It is exhausting and rewarding and cute. And I'm very lucky because Elsie is a fantastic mom, and I can't stress enough how lucky I am."

Kylie Jenner sued by housekeeper for alleged hostile work environment

Kylie Jenneris being taken to court by a former housekeeper who says she "was subjected to severe and pervasive harassment" while working at Jenner's home.

USA TODAY

The woman, Angelica Hernandez Vasquez, filed a lawsuit April 17 against Jenner and the agencies that employed Vasquez in Los Angeles. Since she began working at Jenner's house in September 2024, Vasquez says, she was subjected to "ahostile work environment" in which she experienced "discrimination, harassment, and retaliation … based on her race, national origin, religion, and disability."

USA TODAY has reached out to Jenner's representative for comment.

The bulk of the claims made by Vasquez, described as a "Salvadoranwoman and a practicing Catholic," targeted her supervisors, who she said "snapped their fingers" at her, "mocked [her] for her accent and treated [her] as inferior because of her Salvadoran background."

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner's dating timeline in photos

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jennerhave cemented their it couple status in recent months, moving from a hush-hush romance to a courtside withcoordinated outfitskind of affair.Scroll to see photos of their relationship, starting at the Los Angeles premiere of A24's "Marty Supreme" on Dec. 8, 2025, during which the couple stunned in matching getups.

In addition, Vasquez was allegedly subjected to "repeated demeaning comments referencing [her] Salvadoran origin and immigration status, insinuations that coworkers of similar background had been deported, [and] boasting about United States citizenship in a manner designed to demean Plaintiff as a work authorization permit holder."

Housekeeper says she also worked at Kylie Jenner's boyfriend's home

She alleges that after raising concerns about her treatment around November 2024, Vasquez was mocked by her two supervisors, with "no remedial action" taken. Instead, she says, the "mistreatment" escalated and she experienced retaliation. After she lodged another complaint in March 2025, Vasquez claims, "a supervisor threw hangers at Plaintiff's feet while reprimanding her."

Vasquez called the working conditions "so intolerable, hostile, and unlawful" that a "reasonable person" in her position "would have felt compelled to resign," the lawsuit states. Vasquez quit in August, 11 months after her employment began.

Jenner and the companies, La Maison Family Services and Tri Star Services, should be held liable because they "knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take immediate and appropriate corrective action to stop the conduct and prevent its recurrence," Vasquez's lawsuit argues.

Among Vasquez's allegations of California Labor Code and California Fair Employment and Housing Act violations are claims that she was not reimbursed for work-related expenses.

She says she was directed to work in locations other than Jenner's home, including "Jenner's boyfriend's residence on multiple occasions." However, Vasquez alleges, she was not compensated for mileage and transportation costs.

Jenner and Timothée Chalamet have been romantically linked since 2023 and have since made several high-profile appearances at events likethe Oscarsand theGolden Globe Awards.

Vasquez is requesting a jury trial that will determine compensatory, restitution and punitive damages owed to her and asks for an injunction against the defendants that would prevent them from engaging in the conduct she'd alleged.

Survivor star Christian Hubicki got the chance to confront Jimmy Fallon after the late night host essentially forced him to vote himself off the show.

Key Points

  • Hubicki's failed, Fallon-themed Journey on Wednesday's new episode resulted in the shocking twist, which Hubicki confronted Fallon about on Thursday's episode of The Tonight Show.

  • Fallon apologized and said that "it wasn't supposed to be you."

Wednesday's new episode of the historic 50th season ofSurvivordealt one of its most devastating twists:Survivor: David vs. GoliathalumChristian Hubickiwas forced to vote himself out of the competition after failing aJimmy Fallon-themed challenge.

On Thursday, Hubicki was able to wash ashore in New York City, ramble to Rockefeller Center, and confront the man who devised his devious punishment face to face, as one of Fallon's guests on Thursday's episode ofThe Tonight Show.

"Now that we're both in the same place, what I have to say is, Christian, I am so sorry," Fallon said before breaking into laughter. "It wasn't supposed to be like this. It wasn't supposed to be you."

He added, "I felt so bad, because I love you."

Eternal optimist Fallon noted that, while he was sorry, Hubickihadmade history with his vote.

"No one's ever voted for themself, in 50 seasons ofSurvivor," he said.

Writing down his own name had been "surreal," the Hubicki said. The former contestant then decided to take out his frustration over the situation by doing what he called a "five-minute set" roasting Fallon, "a celebrity 8,000 miles away," although some of it was cut.

TheSaturday Night Livealum said he heard what was said about him.

"I go, 'Leave it all in. You have to,'" Fallon said. "Give the guy something."

The seeds of Hubicki's undoing were planted months ago, when the robotics professor himself noted in thefirst trailer forSurvivor 50that "Jimmy Fallon may decide my fate in this game."

Fast forward to Wednesday'sninth episode of the season, titled "I Deserve All of This."Survivor 48alum Joe Hunter was given the power to send one of his players on a Journey, which he determined by forcing them all to compete in rock-paper-scissors matches. Hubicki prevailed, but one win does not a streak make.

Fallon himself informed Hubicki of the puzzle and the rules, which came with the devastating caveat that if he lost, he'd have to announce he's voting himself out of the competition in front of everyone. That's exactly what happened, and Hubicki was sent packing.

In hispost-elimination interview withEntertainment Weekly, Hubicki wryly teased, regarding his new late-night nemesis, "Maybe I get a chance to meet him. Maybe we will hit it off, and we will let this misunderstanding get past this. So long as there's some kind of mediator between us, I think we can hit a new understanding."

Turns out they were able to sit down and share a laugh.

London Tube strikes: When are they and what lines will be affected?

London Undergrounddrivers are on their second day ofstrikeaction this week, causing significant travel disruption for commuters and visitors to the capital.

The Independent US

The Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT)unionconfirmed its members will walk out for 24 hours from midday on Tuesday 21 April, and again on Thursday 23 April.

This means the first strike will last from Tuesday into Wednesday, and then the second from Thursday into Friday.

There are additional strikes planned for May and June.

The RMT has accused Transport for London (TfL) of attempting to impose a newfour-day working week, with general secretary Eddie Dempsey expressing frustration over the stalled negotiations.

He said: “We have approached negotiations withTfLin good faith throughout this entire process, but despite our best efforts, TfL seem unwilling to make any concessions in a bid to avertstrikeaction.”

Claire Mann, TfL’s chief operating officer, said the proposals for a four-day working week allow the company to “offer train operators an additional day off, whilst at the same time bringingLondon Undergroundin line with the working patterns of other train operating companies, improving reliability and flexibility at no additional cost”.

She added: “The changes would be voluntary, there would be no reduction in contractual hours and those who wish to continue a five-day working week pattern would be able to do so.”

TfL has set out what travellers can expect during strike days, with certain lines more affected than others. Here’s what you need to know:

What dates are the Tube strikes?

April

  • Tuesday 21 to Wednesday 22 April

  • Thursday 23 to Friday 24 April

  • Tuesday 19 to Wednesday 20 May

  • Thursday 21 to Friday 22 May

June

  • Tuesday 16 June to Wednesday 17 June

  • Thursday 18 June to Friday 19 June

What time will the Tube shut and reopen?

TfL has laid out how its services will be affected over the coming days (Transport for London (TfL))

The planned strike action will take significant parts of the network out of action for half of two consecutive days, lasting from midday to midday.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays, travellers can expect normal service until mid-morning, when services will begin to ramp down. There will be significant disruption on all lines from midday, and lines that do run will finish early. TfL recommends completing journeys by 8pm.

On Wednesdays and Fridays,Tubeservices that do run will begin later, with no service expected before 7.30am. There will be significant disruption until midday, when normal service will begin to resume, but with delays very likely.

Which Tube lines will be affected?

TfL says strikes will affect the wholeTubenetwork, but a reduced service will still run on most lines with significant disruption.

However, there will be no service on the:

  • Piccadilly and Circle lines

  • Metropolitan line between Baker Street and Aldgate

  • Central line between White City and Liverpool Street

On Wednesday morning the TfL website also showed severe delays on the Bakerloo, Central, District, Hammersmith & City, Jubilee, Metropolitan, Northern and Victoria lines.

Elizabeth line, DLR, London Overground, and tram services will be running normally on strike days, but are likely to be very busy.

Civil rights groups sue to keep DOJ from reviewing state voter lists

WASHINGTON – Civil rights groups filed a federal lawsuit aiming to block the Justice Department fromcollecting and reviewing state voter liststoweed out ineligible voters, arguing that the federal government hasno role under the Constitutionto manage state elections.

USA TODAY

The advocacy group Common Cause, along with a handful of voters, also wants to prevent thefederal government from creating a databasewith the personal information of hundreds of millions of voters' addresses, driver’s license numbers and Social Security numbers.

The lawsuit is the latest legal battlefield over voter registration amidPresident Donald Trump’scampaign to prevent undocumented immigrants and other ineligible voters from casting ballots. Justice lawyers have argued in other cases that they have the power to collect and review rollsto prevent fraud.

Trump speaks in Arizona for Turning Point's 'Build the Red Wall' event

President Donald Trumpreturned to Phoenix to speak at Turning Point USA's "Build the Red Wall" event at Dream City Church on April 17, 2026, ahead of this year's midterm elections.

Omar Noureldin, Common Cause's senior vice president of policy and litigation, said the author George Orwell warned about such government surveillance in his book "1984."

"Essentially it’s a Big Brother type issue," Noureldin, a senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights in the Biden administration, told USA TODAY. "We should be suspicious of the federal government engaging in creating large databases."

Common Cause is represented by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), the American Civil Liberties Union, Protect Democracy and the Democracy and Rule of Law Clinic at Harvard Law School.

The civil rights groups are asking the U.S. District Court in Washington, DC, to order the Justice Department to delete the confidential voter data it has already collected from more than a dozen states. The lawsuit also asks the court to prevent the department from sharing the voter data with other agencies or third-party contractors because of privacy concerns it could be hacked.

Trump seeks to 'nationalize' elections

The lawsuit was filed as the Justice Department is fighting in federal court in 30 states and the District of Columbia for voter lists with the confidential information. At the same time, Trump has urged Congress to approve legislation requiring identification to vote and proof of citizenship to register.

"The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,"Trump said on Dan Bongino’s podcast in February.

The Justice Department has demanded that states turn over voter lists to help remove ineligible voters such as undocumented immigrants, dead people and those who have moved. The department has sued states that agreed to turn over names but refused to also provide personal information such as driver’s license numbers and the final four digits of Social Security numbers. In some states, the voter data includes party affiliation and the history of when voters cast ballots.

To combat that effort, the latest lawsuit from Common Cause and CREW aims to prevent the department from using the personal information of voters from at least 12 states that have already provided it and up to 19 that have said they would provide it. The first 12 states to share the information are Alaska, Arkansas, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Nebraska, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming.

"The U.S. Department of Justice ('DOJ') has launched an illegal and unprecedented quest to stockpile millions of Americans’ confidential voter data in a system of record within its Civil Rights Division," the lawsuit said. "DOJ is using this highly sensitive data to build – without statutory authorization – a sprawling new voter surveillance and purging apparatus that endangers millions of Americans’ fundamental voting and privacy rights."

President Donald Trump answers questions after signing an executive order to limit mail-in voting in the Oval Office of the White House on March 31, 2026 in Washington, DC.

DOJ seeks state lists to find noncitizens, other ineligible voters

Government lawyers have said they want to check state voter lists against the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to confirm whether they are U.S. citizens.

Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelsonannounced in October 2025that the state compared its voter list against the SAVE database and found 2,724 potential noncitizens out of 18 million registered voters in the state. She said 33 people had been referred to the attorney general’s office in June.

But the civil rights lawsuit contends the system is "flawed" and "faulty" because citizens born outside the United States who have become naturalized are at higher risk to be identified as noncitizens, which imperils their right to vote.

Anthony Nel of Denton County, Texas, is a plaintiff in the case because he was removed from the state's voter rolls last year despite being a U.S. citizen. Nel was born in South Africa in 1996 but became a citizen when his parents were naturalized in 2013.

After voting early in the November 2025 election, Nel received a letter from the county registrar saying the federal SAVE system showed "that you were not a United States citizen" and asked him to provide proof of his citizenship. By the time he renewed an expired passport in December 2025, he had missed a 30-day deadline to provide his documentation and his voter registration had been canceled.

"When I first got the letter, my initial feelings were frustration and probably a little bit of anger," Nel told USA TODAY. "I’m a naturalized citizen because of my parents, and so it’s frustrating when you do everything right because that’s what they tell you to do and it’s still causing issues."

Judges found no authorization for DOJ 'fishing expedition'

The Justice Department has argued in other cases that it had the authority to ask for voter lists to prevent fraud under the 1960 Civil Rights Act, the 1993 National Voter Registration Act and the 2002 Helping Americans to Vote Act.

But federal judges have dismissed the department’s lawsuits in five states: California, Oregon, Michigan, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The judges have noted the Constitution says: "The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections for Senators and Representatives, shall be prescribed in each state by the Legislature."

The statutes that federal lawyers cited allow investigations of specific allegations of voter fraud, but judges ruled against the sweeping demands for voter information the Justice Department made.

U.S. District Judge Mary McElroy in Rhode Island found no factual allegations that the state was violating the law in maintaining its voter list. She said the statutes the department cited don’t authorize "the kind of fishing expedition it seeks here."

The civil rights lawsuit raised the same arguments against the department’s access to voter data from states that complied.

"No federal statute authorizes DOJ’s sprawling new voter surveillance, data consolidation, and purging operation," the lawsuit says. "In taking these actions, DOJ is usurping powers that the Constitution and federal statutes vest in the States."

Protesters attend March 28, 2026, rally at Drake Springs Park in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as part of the third installment of the national No Kings movement to oppose President Donald Trump.

States disregarded privacy of millions of Americans: lawsuit

Aside from the lack of authorization for the voter data, the civil rights groups contend that storing the sensitive data about hundreds of millions of voters in a single federal system creates a greater risk of targeting by hackers and foreigners trying to undermine elections and data security.

"These states have disregarded the privacy and voting rights of millions of Americans who never consented to disclosing their sensitive personal data to the federal government for undefined purposes and without statutory authorization," the lawsuit says.

Ruth Nasrullah of Texas joined the lawsuit because her name has changed three times because of marriage and divorce. She has heightened concerns about her privacy because of her experience as an activist and a journalist.

"Due to her heightened privacy concerns, she intentionally protects her personal information and limits the personal information she shares," the lawsuit says.
