Lauren Alaina was just a teenager when fans met her on the singing competition. But now she’s a married woman expecting her first child. She married Cam Anderson in an intimate wedding in Nashville, Tennessee, in February 2024. They’d been dating for about four years before tying the knot.

A powerful new documentary that premiered at Tribeca captures the awful lives of bullied and tormented kids across America. The director talks to Louis Jordan about how he hopes it will stop such behavior.

Two-and-a-half years ago when Lee Hirsch began work on his documentary The Bully Project, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival last weekend, bullying wasn't the hot-button issue it is today.

A look into the lives -- or, even more sadly, the taken lives -- of victims of extreme bullying, the film, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and was quickly picked up by The Weinstein Company, works to personalize the issue of bullying, so often condemned in limp lip-service platitudes,...
