Being a parent can make relationships more complicated.

Sarah Shahi had firsthand experience with this. One month after the Sex/Life actress confirmed that she and costar Adam Demos had broken up following five years of dating, she shared insight into their decision to split.

"Without airing any kind of laundry 'cause I'm not here for that," Sarah explained on the Feb. 10 episode of the Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari podcast, "I do think when you have kids, it's hard to build a life when you have children unless the person truly, truly, truly wants that as well."

She emphasized that it is not about Adam, but about how she cares for her and ex-husband Steve Howey's 16-year-old son William, as well as 10-year-old twins Violet and Knox.

Britney Spears has officially parted ways with her music catalog.

The 44-year-old pop superstar sold the rights to her body of work to independent music publisher Primary Wave on Dec. 30, according to multiple reports. Financial details of the agreement have not been publicly confirmed, though estimates suggest the deal could be worth around $200 million.

The sale includes some of Spears' most recognizable songs, such as "...Baby One More Time," "Oops!... I Did It Again," "Toxic," "Gimme More," "Circus" and "Womanizer." Spanning nine studio albums released between 1999 and 2016, her catalog helped define modern pop music and has contributed to more than 150 million records sold worldwide.

Demi Lovato has announced adjustments to their upcoming It's Not That Deep tour, cancelling five shows and rescheduling another to prioritize their health. The 33-year-old singer took to Instagram on February 10 to address fans directly, writing, "My Lovatics — I am so excited to get back on stage this year and visit you in as many cities as I can."

"While starting to prepare for the tour, I realized that I have overextended what may be possible," Lovato continued. "To protect my health, and ensure I can give you my all at each show, I need to build in more time to rest and rehearse and ultimately adjust to a schedule with some more time off that will allow me to handle the entire run of the tour."

The person suspected of kidnapping Nancy Guthrie may have made a critical misstep while trying to cover their tracks outside the elderly woman's Tucson, Ariz., home, according to a surveillance expert.

Federal and local authorities on Tuesday released newly recovered images and video captured by a Nest camera mounted near Guthrie's front door. The footage shows a masked, armed individual approaching the home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1 and attempting to tamper with the device before disconnecting it entirely.

Investigators believe the suspect assumed that disabling the camera would permanently erase any recorded footage — especially since Guthrie did not have a paid Nest subscription. But that assumption was flawed, longtime private investigator Andy Kay told Page Six.

"These systems continue sending data to company servers as long as there's an internet connection," Kay explained. "Without a subscription, images are usually overwritten quickly. But once the camera is disconnected, there's nothing new coming in to overwrite what was just uploaded."

In effect, the final images transmitted before the camera went dark became frozen in the system, making them recoverable through backend data, Kay said.

Authorities confirmed that the footage was retrieved from residual server data with help from private-sector partners. The images show the suspect wearing gloves, a face covering and a backpack, and appearing to fidget nervously with the camera. At one point, the individual is seen grabbing foliage from the ground and holding it up in an apparent attempt to block the lens.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of "Today" show anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen the night of Jan. 31 after being dropped off at her home by family members. She was reported missing the next morning when she failed to attend church.

Investigators believe she was abducted from her home and injured during the encounter. Blood matching Guthrie was found near the front door, and her daily medication was left behind.

Multiple ransom notes demanding millions in bitcoin have since been sent to media outlets, but authorities say communication has gone silent as the search continues.

Jimmy Donaldson, the world’s most-subscribed YouTuber famously known as MrBeast, has acquired fintech app Step, marking Beast Industries’ entry into financial services. Step — an all-in-one money app aimed at teens and young adults for managing cash, building credit and accessing financial tools — will now operate under Donaldson’s company as it targets a younger user base.

“Nobody taught me about investing, building credit, or managing money when I was growing up. That’s exactly why we’re joining forces with Step,” MrBeast told his millions of fans on Monday. “I want to give millions of young people the financial foundation I never had. Lots to share soon.”

Beast Industries did not disclose how much it paid for Step.

Beast Industries has been fundraising over the past year, including a recent $200 million investment from Bitmine Immersion Technologies, the largest corporate holder of the cryptocurrency Ether and chaired by Fundstrat’s Tom Lee.

Step is backed by fintech giant Stripe, as well as venture capital firms such as Coatue, Collaborative Fund, Crosslink Capital and General Catalyst.

The newly acquired Step was founded in 2018 by fintech veterans CJ MacDonald and Alexey Kalinichenko, with a mission of providing the next generation with tools for financial literacy.
