Zac Efron's Sweetest Family Photos With His Siblings Over the Years
Zac Efron has enjoyed many adventures with his family over the years β and luckily he documented the special bonding moments.
Efron β who is an older brother to Dylan, Olivia and Henry β has recalled how his siblings and parents supported him throughout his career.
βMy familyβs my rock. I know that theyβre not going anywhere. More and more I rely on my little brother to keep me grounded,β he shared during a 2013 interview. βI know my familyβs always going to be there, and then thereβs also some times when life changes, they canβt always be there for you in the way that you need, so I rely on my friends.β
Years later, Efron revealed the important life lessons that he learned from his family.
βMy parents love me in very different ways. But they checked every box. My dad always taught me to be driven,β he told Elle in 2016. βI was always the shortest kid at school. Always the worst kid on the team. Iβd come home after practice and my dad would build a basketball hoop. Then weβd go out and shoot 100 free throws. Pretty soon every time I got fouled I would make my free throws.β
While he loves his own family β and is a great older brother β Efron admitted heβs not quite ready to have children of his own.
βI have a healthy respect for parents, very grateful for them all,β he said during a May 2022 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. βI love you so much, Mom.β

Stephen Baldwin Was Too Embarrassed to Say 'Special Forces' Was 'Too Hard'
Stephen Baldwin wasnβt on Special Forces: The Worldβs Toughest Test for the right reasons β at least if you ask soldiers and stars Billy Billingham and Rudy Reyes.
βI think heβs a classic example of, βOh, my God, this is real.β He was not expecting that. He liked when he was doing something that looked James Bondβish,β Billingham said in a joint interview with Reyes at Us Weeklyβs NYC studio on Thursday, January 9.
β[Or] heroic,β Reyes added.
While Baldwin, 58, was the first to exit during the Wednesday, January 8, premiere, he did find brief success on the Fox show while completing the first task.
βDiving onto a helicopter, yeah, he did well on it. Great, well done. But when it comes to the rest of it, carrying the [military backpack] and running, being wet, he did not wanna know [anything about it],β Billingham told Us. βWhen he got uncomfortable, he was looking for excuses. Weβve heard a million excuses. We hear it all the time. He was looking for an easy way out where he didnβt have to embarrass himself by saying, βThis is too hard.β And the truth is, it was too hard. Heβs 50-something years old, but I mean, Iβm older than him.β
Stephen Baldwin Exits 'Special Forces' Early After Bizarre Doctor Showdown
Baldwin was part of the Wales production for less than 24 hours when he started to complain about a potential injury to the show doctor. When the doctor offered to examine him, however, Hailey Bieberβs dad had a bizarre breakdown about a future role that he could not get injured for.
βWhatβs awesome about this program, Special Forces, is it really is a window into military life,β Reyes told Us. βWhen you watch military movies, itβs combat, itβs badass, itβs heroic. Most of military life is disciplined or hurrying up as fast as possible to make a timeline. Itβs cleaning, itβs taking orders and itβs going on long hikes and walks. Itβs uncomfortable. Itβs not glamorous. Our course is the same way. Of course, we do some really badass helicopter work, ocean work, things from heights and cliff assaults, things of that nature. And thatβs the more exotic stuff. But the day-to-day is showing up where youβre supposed to show up, listening to what needs to get done and then executing it.β
Billingham added that some cast members, like Baldwin, are not βused to being called out.β
Stephen Baldwin Gushes Over 'Plump Potato' Grandson Jack Blues Bieber
βI donβt think he likes being called out. At the end of the day, what we say is what we see,β he explained. βHeβs getting shouted at for a reason. Heβs getting pushed for a reason. And he didnβt like it. Heβs used to stopping when he wants, doing what he wants. That didnβt happen. And that reality kicked in quickly with him. And not only was he fighting the elements and what we were pulling through, heβs finding his own mind of how heβs portraying himself and how heβs gonna work his way out of this. We see it a million times, you can tell straight away. And itβs generally the men that do it. Women just go [with the] mindset, βWeβre getting on with this.ββ
Billingham went on to note that Baldwin is a βsmart guyβ but didnβt want to admit he was in too deep.
Meet βSpecial Forcesβ Season 3 Cast: Trista Sutter, Stephen Baldwin and More
βHe must have done his research. Apparently heβs done quite a bit [of military training] before [for roles]. Must have spoken to people whoβve been on the show. So he knew what he was coming into, but the reality of thinking he knew and then turning up, thatβs what caught him,β he said. βAnd he was like, βOh, how do I work my way out of this?ββ
Baldwin officially exited after a bizarre confrontation with the show doctor, in which he got visibly angry about not wanting to risk injury for an upcoming role.
βI think after that conversation with the doctor, the doctor had PTSD,β Billingham concluded with a laugh.
Special Forces: Worldβs Toughest Test airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
The Worldβs First Fully Automated Toothbrush for Kids Makes Brushing Fun and Easy
Getting kids into the habit of properly brushing their teeth can be tough, but the Willo AutoFlo+ Fully Automated Kids Toothbrush Starter Kit is one solution you might not have tried yet. Created by a team of oral health experts, itβs the worldβs first childrenβs toothbrush that uses fully automatic brushing, doing the hard work for your little ones without the extra stress. This futuristic system was specifically made to help kids β but wouldnβt blame you if you felt tempted to snag one for yourself, too.
βFor many families, toothbrushing is an all-too-familiar daily struggle,β Willo explains. βParents find themselves locked in a routine that requires constant reminders, supervision and time spent ensuring their children maintain good oral hygiene.β
This high-tech toothbrush, which looks similar to a mouth guard surrounding the teeth, is meant to make the process a bit easier. With 34,000 optimally positioned bristles and an OptiClean brush head that gently cleans around each tooth, the kit is clinically proven to remove βseven times more plaque in the hard-to-reach areas than a manual toothbrush.β Just one push of an easy-to-use button and the AutoFlo+ automatically dispenses the perfect amount of toothpaste. Thereβs also a continuous suction to remove any liquid accumulated during the process and the toothbrush head comes in three different sizes, ensuring it will fit your little oneβs mouth.
Parents who have purchased this toothbrush continue to wonder how they ever lived without it.
βI know the price is high, but so are other electric toothbrush brands,β one five-star reviewer wrote. βWe spent my sonβs whole life fighting to brush teeth. He has no issue with using this. No gag reflex and no sensory issue, itβs been well worth it for our family.β
βAs a mom of an autistic boy, this is a lifesaver,β another noted. βI recently switched to Willo, and I couldnβt be happier with the results. Itβs truly a game-changer in oral hygiene! First, it ensures even coverage across all my kidβs teeth and gums. I love how effective it is at cleaning.β
Parents of more than one child say that while morning and nighttime routines used to be βa total hassle,β the Willo set changed that.
βIβd constantly be nagging them to brush, and even then, I had to double-check if they were actually brushing or just fooling around in the bathroom,β one person admitted. βIt took up so much time! But ever since we got the Willo toothbrush, everythingβs changed. The kids actually love brushing now, and I donβt have to hover or worry if theyβre doing it right. My youngest even insists on brushing multiple times a day! This toothbrush is a game-changer for any parent!β
If your kiddos hate brushing their teeth, add the Willo AutoFlo+ Fully Automated Kids Toothbrush to cart now. The switch allows them to have fun while practicing good oral hygiene, and you can breathe a sigh of relief knowing theyβre getting a deep clean.

Zach Bryan Slams Trolls for 'Attacking' His Friends: 'Weird as Hell'
Zach Bryan is coming to his friendsβ defense after claiming theyβve been attacked online following his split from Brianna βChickenfryβ LaPaglia.
βAll of you fβin weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because youβre assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science,β Bryan, 28, wrote via a lengthy Instagram Story rant on Thursday, January 9. βEveryone wonders why I quit touring and donβt want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile youβre calling my friends ugly and harassing them?β
Bryan added that he wasnβt searching for βsympathyβ but wanted to condemn the βlow and messed upβ actions of going after his pals.
βApparently Iβve [had] four different girlfriends in like two weeks, meanwhile my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have,β he wrote before clarifying his current relationship status. βI donβt have a girlfriend and donβt plan on having a girlfriend, however I do have normal friends that I love very much and would go to the ends of the earth for.β
Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfryβs Breakup: What Went Wrong?
Bryan continued his rant by encouraging others to βgo give your attention and time to the literal city burning down,β seemingly referring to the ongoing Los Angeles fires.
βStop being so sad and fickle and childish through screens. Last thing Iβll ever say on this. Insane I even have to,β he wrote. βYou do not know me. You never will know me. Stop acting like you do.β
The singer added that instead of attacking people in his inner circle, his critics should speak about him instead because he can handle it.
βI am allowed to have love, laughter and good people in my life. No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me. I can take all the hatred because Iβm not a child,β he wrote in a subsequent Instagram Story. βBut do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me. Everyone wants you to have fun and make great music but you guys are making it really hard to do that with my friends getting insulted and death threats everyday.β
Bryan shared that heβs βworked really hardβ for his success, but the constant chatter from social media makes him want to remain out of the spotlight.
βWhether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad and fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends,β he wrote. βWeβre all humans and Iβm so tired of people thinking social media is a way to have a moral high ground on people THEYβVE never met? Guess people arenβt humans any more since they can hide behind screens? Weird aβholes man ok Iβm done.β
Bryan, in fact, was not done. He shared one more note stating that he didnβt want others to give him tips on how to βhandle something or things theyβve never coped withβ themselves.
βI lost my mother, Iβve been in war zones and Iβve battled this whole fame thing for five years. Respectfully, I donβt need your unsolicited advice, I am a grown man. I promise I can get through some little bullies on the internet,β he wrote. βI am so terrifyingly unphased by the fake sβ people say about me online but coming for people I love and care for is my line and final straw.β
Brianna Chickenfry Says βDonβt Date Famous Peopleβ in Pre-Recorded Podcast
Bryan ended his rant by stating he was βhopping offβ of social media βfor a bit.β
Bryan made headlines late last year following his dramatic breakup from LaPaglia, 25. In October 2024, Bryan shared that he and the Barstool Sports personality called it quits after dating for more than a year. LaPaglia claimed that she was βblindsidedβ by the musicianβs public announcement.
LaPaglia took a break from social media following the breakup, and Bryan has been laying low. One month after the split, LaPaglia returned to her βBFFsβ podcast, where she gave insight into her dynamic with Bryan and claimed she was βemotionally abusedβ by the musician. (Us Weekly reached out to Bryanβs team at the time and received no response.)
Kaylee Hartung Gushes About Bond Between Female Reporters Across the NFL
As the number of prominent female reporters continues to grow across the NFL, Prime Videoβs Kaylee Hartung gushed about the supportive community they have created with one another.Β
βItβs so cool,β Hartung, 39, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of Prime Videoβs first-ever playoff game broadcast between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday, January 11. βItβs the most special group of women Iβve ever gotten to consider myself part of. I feel so lucky.β
Hartung is joined on the sidelines for Prime Videoβs NFL coverage by Taylor Rooks, with Charissa Thompson anchoring the networkβs coverage during pregame, postgame and halftime.Β
βItβs so genuine among us,β Hartung explained. βCharissa, Taylor and I all have very different skill sets. We have very different personalities. I think weβre able to work together and support each other in a way that is so special. Thereβs no competition. We are each otherβs biggest cheerleaders.β
ESPN's Holly Rowe Happily Learned More About Taylor Swift Via NFL Coverage
Across the networks, other female reporters in places of prominence include Fox Sportsβ Erin Andrews and Pam Oliver and CBSβ Tracy Wolfson and Kay Adams, who anchored Netflixβs inaugural Christmas Day coverage.
βWe all just really get along and like each other,β Hartung told Us. βCharissa and I were friends before we were ever on Thursday Night Football together. I had never met Taylor before the first time everyone got together. But it was instant for all of us.β
Hartung, who also works as a contributor on NBCβs Today show, counts Sunday Night Football sideline reporter Melissa Stark as another encouraging colleague. When the duo worked together during the NFL Divisional Round playoff game between the Detroit Lions and Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Detroitβs Ford Field in January 2024, Hartung had a full circle moment of gratitude.
βWe were sitting in the shuttle [on the way to the stadium] and I teared up in the cheesiest, silliest, most completely raw, emotional way,β Hartung recalled. β15-year-old me never could have imagined this. Melissa has been so supportive of me and I just appreciate that I can call her a friend. Weβll compare notes if Iβve got a team before her or if sheβs got one before me.β
Why Kelly Stafford and Her 4 Girls Might Be 'Moving' Out Before Playoffs
Hartung also shouted out NBCβs Maria Taylor and ESPNβs Laura Rutledge, with whom she helped launch the SEC Network in 2014.
βI feel so lucky that our friendships have all endured,β she said. βI hope that we set an example for women younger than us. Itβs such a competitive environment and there are only so many opportunities. But there is enough to go around.β
Hartung added, βAt the end of the day, one of the things we all have in common is that we are all nice, welcoming, good people who are excited for each otherβs successes and excited to cheer each other on.β
Hartung will be on the sideline for Prime Videoβs first-ever playoff game between the Baltimore Ravens and Pittsburgh Steelers, which streams live on Saturday, January 11, at 7:30 pm ET.Β
What New Movies Are Coming Out in Winter 2025?
From the critically acclaimed The Last Showgirl to Bridget Jones: About a Boy, 2025 is transforming January from an infamous movie dead zone into a time for appointment viewing.
Historically, the start of each year isnβt the most exciting time for new releases. Studios tend to save their smaller budget films β ones that, say, might not make it to awards season β for the colder months, when the holidays are over, people are tired and staying in sounds much more appealing than shivering in a dark theater.
This year, however, things have seemingly shifted. January 2025 is starting off strong with the release of the already critically acclaimed The Last Showgirl, a film that is being lauded as star Pamela Andersonβs comeback and the greatest role of her career. The story follows Anderson as Shelley, a glamorous showgirl who must plan for her future when her show abruptly closes after a 30-year run.
βI can relate to it on so many different levels. As a mother, as a person in this industry,β Anderson told Deadline in September 2024. βMost of my career has been about the external, and not the soul of what really happens behind the superficial qualities that people even hire you for, or know you for. And youβre always just like, thereβs so much more to me than what people see and I donβt know if youβre ever gonna get the chance to show that, so that was really why I was so excited about this movieβ¦ I feel like a new baby in this industry in this film and I feel like itβs just the beginning.β

Southern Charmβs Madison Reveals What She Told Craig After Paige Breakup
Madison LeCroy has offered words of support for her Southern Charm costar Craig Conover in light of his recent breakup with Paige DeSorbo.
βI donβt need to give him any advice.I just told him, βYouβre going to be a great husband [and] youβre going to be a great dad one day. You have so much to look forward to, like, just be lucky you didnβt already have those things and then go through a breakup,ββΒ LeCroy, 34, said during a Thursday, January 9, Amazon Live broadcast. (LeCroy shares 10-year-old son, Hudson, with a past partner and is now married to Brett Randle.)
She added, βIβm here to hype him up when heβs down β and Iβll do that for anyone really. But, theyβre still good and I think everythingβs going to be fine. I think you guys are taking it a lot harder than they are. I donβt know.β
DeSorbo, 32, announced late last month that she and Conover, 35, called it quits after three years of dating.
Craig Conover 'Had Plans to Propose' Before Paige DeSorbo Breakup
βCraig and I have decided to no longer be together,β DeSorbo said on a December 2024 episode of her βGiggly Squadβ podcast. βI love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasnβt a bad thing.β
She continued, βI think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didnβt want, and I think thatβs extremely powerful to be able to voice how youβre feeling in real-time and what you want for your future.β
Weeks later, Conover claimed that the breakup was βvery unexpected.β
βI guess I gotta start living again, whatever that looks like. Whatever my new normal looks like β I have to start,β he said in a Tuesday, January 7, Instagram Story video. ββGratitude will get you through this, with time comes clarityβ β all of the advice, Iβm trying to listen to. βBut, yeah. [It happened] right before the holidays. I was very shocked. And itβs OK.β
Craig Conover Hinted at Marrying Paige DeSorbo 2 Months Before Breakup
Conover was also aware that βit takes two people to be in a relationship.β
βYou canβt control other people, you can only control how you react to it,β he continued. βRemember to be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff. β¦ [Itβs] a 3-year relationship, itβs your best friend who you talk to all day every day, and then theyβre just gone. So, you know, one day Iβll be able to talk more on it.β
Conover and the Summer House star met while filming Winter House season 1 in 2021, making their public debut as a couple at Kyle Cooke and Amanda Batulaβs wedding that September. While appearing on each otherβs shows, they navigated a long-distance relationship as Conover is based in Charleston and DeSorbo lives in Manhattan.
SZA Pops With New Pink Highlights: See Her Transformation
sza usmagazine isnβt afraid to have fun with her hair.
SZA, 35, took to Instagram on Wednesday, January 8, to show off her new bubblegum highlights. The singer, who previously sported dark brown coils, rocked hot pink money pieces that were cut to her chin, thanks to hairstylist Devante Turnbull. The rest of her coils were dyed a cherry cola shade.
To highlight her vibrant mane even more, she paired the new tresses with a black top featuring nude polka dots, a plunging necklace and a tie that wrapped around her waist. Styled by Alejandra LaPilusa, the One of Them Days star matched the piece with cropped leggings, layered necklaces and sandals.
Last up was glam, and SZA complimented her look with a full beat thanks to the help of makeup artist Deanna Paley. Her look featured bright pink lips, smokey eyeshadow and a pop of highlighter in her inner corner. SZA also rocked a detailed henna on her hands created by Neha Assar Panchal.

Where the Cast of βSpecial Forcesβ Season 3 Stands: Whoβs Failed So Far?
While season 3 of Special Forces: Worldβs Toughest Test began with 16 contestants, only some have what it takes to make it to the end of the competition.
In the reality show, which features celebrities trying their hand at tasks the real United States Special Forces must complete to become part of the military, contestants move forward by passing a series of tests β or they turn in their armband to signal their voluntary departure from the series.
While attempting assignments in Wales, England, Stephen Baldwin became the first season 3 contestant to exit the competition. The dad of Hailey Bieber successfully jumped from a speeding boat to a speeding helicopter and climbed into the helicopter β but claimed he got injured in the process.
βI smashed my meniscus on the helicopter today and my back is in knots and I canβt turn my head past there,β Baldwin said while talking with the on-duty doctor.
After Baldwin explained that he βcannot get injuredβ ahead of a gig he had lined up after the show, the Special Forces operatives dismissed him from the series. βNo. 5, you failed this course and you failed yourself. Go,β the staff said.
Scroll down to see where the stars of season 3 stand:

Tori Spelling's Mom Candy Loses $23 Million Home in L.A. Wildfires
Candy Spellingβs Malibu mansion was burned to the ground amid the ongoing wildfires sweeping the city.
βIβm in shock and processing this massive loss for our family,β Spelling, 79, told TMZ on Thursday, January 9. βI am beyond grateful for the memories. It was truly a wonderful gift to have.β
Candy further noted to the outlet that her late husband, Aaron Spelling, equally loved the $23 million house. (Candy and the famed TV producer, who died in 2006 at the age of 83, shared daughter Tori Spelling and son Randy Spelling.)
βIβm devastated. I have so many memories in this house,β Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star Josh Flagg, who is a friend of Candyβs, later told TMZ on Thursday. βThe house is gone but the memories are not. This is a total shame. This entire fire is a shame. This did not need to happen.β

Randy also shared various links of resources for individuals affected by the natural disaster. Tori, meanwhile, uploaded a GoFundMe link after her βdear friendβ Peter Ferreiroβs house was torched.
