Vivienne’s Bid to Drop the Pitt Name Advances
Vivienne is keeping the family-name shuffle moving. According to reports from Perez Hilton and Reality Tea, the 18-year-old daughter of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie has taken another step toward legally removing Pitt from her surname.
The latest development appears to be procedural: California courts require public notice for certain name-change petitions, and that notice has reportedly been published. In other words, this is paperwork with a spotlight on it—not a final court ruling.
Vivienne previously made a legal effort to distance herself from her father’s last name, following similar public name choices involving some of her siblings. The family’s surname saga has unfolded against the backdrop of Pitt and Jolie’s long-running divorce and custody battle, though the reports supplied here do not provide a new statement from Vivienne or either parent about the decision.
That distinction matters. A published notice can move a petition along, but it does not confirm that a judge has approved the change or reveal what surname Vivienne will officially use next. For now, the headline is less “new name” than “next legal step”—still plenty of family drama, just with a court calendar attached.
Prosecutor Questions Brian Hickerson’s Conduct During TMZ Interview
Brian Hickerson is at the center of a serious claim from a prosecutor, who reportedly said Hickerson was high during an interview with TMZ. That is the extent of the allegation provided in the available report; it should not be treated as an established fact.
The claim involves possible substance use, so BAD GOSS is holding publication rather than dressing it up as a scandalous certainty. The supplied information does not include independent confirmation, testing, a direct response from Hickerson, or enough legal context to responsibly add more.
For now, this is a prosecutor’s reported characterization of Hickerson’s appearance during one interview—not a verified finding about his conduct or health. Any fuller account would require stronger documentation and a response from the people involved.
Hailey Bieber Reunites With Parents After Reported Family Rift
Hailey Bieber may be putting some distance between herself and the family-drama headlines. Just Jared and E! News report that the model and Rhode founder met up with her parents, Stephen and Kennya Baldwin, for dinner.
That would be a notable sighting because the reunion arrives after months—or possibly years—of public speculation about tension within the family. The alleged rift has circulated as a rumor, though neither outlet’s report establishes exactly what caused it or whether there was ever a full-blown family break.
Still, dinner with both parents is a warmer image than the internet’s usual Baldwin-family soap opera. Hailey, 29, has kept her public life focused largely on Rhode, fashion and her marriage to Justin Bieber, making any apparent family reset feel unusually attention-grabbing.
There is no official statement from Hailey, Stephen or Kennya confirming a reconciliation, and one meal does not come with a press release—or a signed peace treaty. But if the reports are accurate, the Baldwin family may be easing back into the same room, which is often how celebrity truces begin: quietly, over food, with everyone pretending the group chat never happened.
