Eric Dane, who famously bathed with 2 women, now appears tangled up with 3
Eric Dane and filmmaker Janell Shirtcliff looked to be in full couple mode Wednesday at the premiere of Prime Video's 'Countdown,' a new series he stars in with Jensen Ackles. Hands were held; smiles and admiring glances were exchanged. He was definitely not with Rebecca Gayheart, whom he married in October 2004 and just said — on national news, no less — is the person he reaches out to daily for 'stalwart' support. Nope, even though Gayheart in early March requested the dismissal, without prejudice, of the 2018 divorce petition she had filed against Dane. Dane revealed in April that he had been diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a.k.a. ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease. Earlier this week, he revealed that he had lost function in his right arm due to the neuromuscular disease and felt his left arm failing. So who's dating whom? Dane's relationship status is a bit fuzzy. The 'Grey's Anatomy' alum, 52, has been 'in an on-and-off relationship' with Shirtcliff for more than three years, Entertainment Tonight reported Wednesday. The two 'care deeply for each other,' the outlet said, citing a source who added, 'Eric asked Janell to be there for him during this time, and she wanted to show up for him.' Shirtcliff, who is a photographer and director, is in pre-production on the film 'Generation Angst' and post-production on the horror flick 'Triton,' according to IMDb. But — Dane's alleged girlfriend, actor Priya Jain, 27, was 'blindsided' by his appearance at the event with Shirtcliff, 41, a source told Page Six on Thursday. Jain and Dane met last summer and became 'exclusive' in November 2024, the source said. 'They never broke up.' The two have been photographed arm-in-arm in public and have matching tattoos, and she has spent 'almost every night' at his house since they coupled up, Page Six said. They reportedly were together last weekend. This three-way confusion is a tiny bit reminiscent of Dane and Gayheart's nude 2009 bathtub video with actor Kari Ann Peniche, which the 'Euphoria' actor discussed in 2019 with Glamour. In the leaked video, the three could be seen bathing together naked — not having sex — and discussing their potential porn names about 15 years into the Gayheart-Dane marriage. 'I don't necessarily think I was breaking any laws and corrupting anybody. We were just three people taking a bath,' he told the magazine. He added, referring at the time to the entirety of his past — including the bathtub video and his addiction to prescribed painkillers — 'I have no regrets nor do I make any apologies for my life experience. It's my life experience and I am at peace with all of it.' As for Gayheart, she and Dane remain estranged as husband and wife even though she called off the divorce and they are in frequent contact as co-parents to their two daughters. 'I call Rebecca. I talk to her every day,' Dane said Monday on 'Good Morning America,' fighting back tears as he talked about battling ALS. 'We have managed to become better friends and better parents. And she is probably my biggest champion, my most stalwart supporter, and I lean on her.'

Northrop eyes Norway as it works on Tritons for Australia
Northrop Grumman is bullish on the international appeal of its MQ-4C Triton, with Norway among the potential buyers of the massive maritime drone. Why it matters: Militaries want more smart machinery, and governments want more dirt on their neighbors. Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) strapped with specialty sensors can satisfy both cravings. Driving the news: Reporters on June 13 got an intimate look at Tritons housed at Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Maryland, home to the Naval Air Systems Command. State of play: Northrop's delivered 20 Tritons to the U.S. Navy. It's sent another three to Australia, and is building a fourth right now in Mississippi. "In the last six months, we've been able to execute 45 flights per month across all three operational orbits," said Capt. Josh Guerre, the persistent maritime unmanned aircraft systems program manager. "You really are supporting concurrent operations, 24/7." Zoom in: Triton can fly around the clock at altitudes greater than 50,000 feet, hoovering up geospatial and signals intelligence. It can also pair with Boeing-made P-8 aircraft, which hunt submarines. Brad Champion, the Triton enterprise director at Northrop, described it as picking "up all the metal on the water." The latest: Both Northrop and General Atomics responded to Norway's ask for long-range drones. "They have a very vast ocean region that they're responsible for," Champion said. "Their economic exclusion zone is very large within the High North, and they are procuring P-8s, so they are set up very well to continue to follow the U.S. Navy doctrine of that manned-unmanned teaming." Champion expects a decision this year. He referred an ask for specifics to Oslo. The other side: C. Mark Brinkley, a spokesperson for General Atomics, told Axios the company has its MQ-9B SeaGuardian in the running.

Matt Konop, who unexpectedly liberated the Czech villages where his grandparents were from during the final days of the war. His story remained relatively unknown because Konop didn't talk about the war once back in the United States and it was illegal to tell it in Czechoslovakia after the Communists took over in 1948. Dewane relays his grandfather's journey, from Omaha Beach and the Battle of the Bulge to an assignment of commanding an advance party to liberate Czechoslovakia, thanks to him fluently speaking. The performance incorporates multimedia elements such as personal accounts and film footage taken by Konop.

Triton, Carlyle weigh bids for Germany's REMA Tip Top, sources say
By Emma-Victoria Farr and Andres Gonzalez FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Private equity funds, including Carlyle and Triton, are weighing bids for Germany-based industrial equipment maker REMA Tip Top, which is exploring a possible sale, three people familiar with the matter said. The family-owned maker of industrial conveyor belts is working with an adviser to explore its options, which include a sale, the sources said. The stake size on offer has not yet been decided, two of the sources said. The firm generated 1.4 billion euros of revenue in 2023, according to the company, putting its possible value north of 3 billion euros in any deal, for which formal talks could start after August, one of the sources said. The owners are considering bringing on external investors to grow the business, the person said. The sources spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is private. Carlyle and Triton declined to comment. REMA Tip Top did not immediately return requests for comment. A sale would come amid a muted time for dealmaking after the revelation of U.S. tariffs in April put a halt on transactions. Germany's economy, heavily dependant on exporting to an increasingly volatile world, has been stagnating for years. A government borrowing splurge is in the works but it remains unclear whether that will help. The firm would be the latest family-owned company to come up for sale as a wave of business owners in Germany's so-called Mittelstand look to exit without successors. REMA was founded in 1923 by brothers Otto and Willy Gruber as part of the Stahlgruber Group, concentrating on providing basic materials and tools for industry and trade in the 1920s as a supplier in the German industrial landscape. The firm focuses on sustainable services in the field of conveyor and processing systems as well as tyre repair. Its business services are used in areas including the automotive industry, chemicals, energy, water treatment and pulp and paper. REMA Tip Top has more than 9,000 employees and 200 subsidiaries worldwide, it says on its website.
