John Goodman's Dan Battles Emotions Over Roseanne's Death on 'The Conners'

16 April 2025 at 17:29

As the Conners prepare for a lawsuit over Roseanne’s death, John Goodman‘s character, Dan, struggles when it comes to being more emotional about her overdose.

During the Wednesday, April 16, episode of the hit ABC series, Dan’s attorney on the case Jean (Jane Lynch) told Jackie (Laurie Metcalf) about her biggest issue ahead of their deposition, saying, “I have been practicing with Dan and I can’t get him to be emotional when he talks about what happened with Roseanne. He just stuffs it down.”

She continued: “I even sent him links from depositions where loved ones really broke down to show him what will move a jury and he never opened them.”

Dan later admitted to daughters Darlene (Sara Gilbert) and Becky (Lecy Goranson) that he was “hiding” from Jean for the same reason.

Every Time The Conners' Final Season Mentioned Roseanne Barr's Character

“She keeps pushing me to be more emotional for my deposition. I am just not good at opening up,” he admitted. “I drink to get in touch with my emotions but after five or six beers, I forget what I am supposed to be feeling.”

Dan blamed his childhood for not allowing him to dig deeper, adding, “[But] it probably won’t hurt me to try something different.” The last scene of the episode was Jean and Jackie singing “Danny Boy” while getting Dan drunk, which finally got him to tear up.

The final season of The Conners has brought up Roseanne Barr‘s character numerous times. Barr originally brought Roseanne to life in the OG sitcom, which aired on ABC from 1988 to 1997. After being briefly revived in 2018 — and Barr’s eventual exit from the series amid controversial social media posts — the story transformed into The Conners. The spinoff was created without Barr’s involvement and she hasn’t made an appearance since the drama.

“I just can’t bear it, so I don’t [watch],” Barr, 72, told The Los Angeles Times in February 2023 of the new show. “When they killed my character off, that was a message to me, knowing that I’m mentally ill or have mental health issues, that they did want me to commit suicide.”

She continued: “They killed my character … And all of that was to say thank you for bringing 28 million viewers, which they never had before and will never see again. Because they can kiss my a**.”

Which 'Roseanne' Stars Are and Aren't Returning to The Conners' Final Season

As The Conners prepares to wrap up with a six-episode final season, Barr is focused on her life in Texas.

“We have 30 acres and live up in what they call ‘Hill Country,’” Barr’s son Jake Pentland exclusively shared with Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month. “Roseanne also drives the tractor often, which allows her to mow the lawn. She drives around. She occasionally runs into trees, but just keeps the yard up.”

In addition to “The Roseanne Barr” podcast, Barr filmed Kill Tony for Netflix and has been writing scripts. “You might just see her on TV again soon,” Pentland teased at the time. “You never know.”

Pentland also hinted that Barr might be relocating again to Florida, adding, “She has a lot of close friends who live in Palm Beach as well and they’re always hanging out, shopping and going to dinners. She is very low-key in Palm Beach and likes to be out on a boat with friends or at the beach.”

The Conners airs on ABC Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Brandi Glanville Spent Over $113K Amid Health Issues, Misses 'Living Life'

16 April 2025 at 17:01

Brandi Glanville has spent thousands of dollars searching for a diagnosis and treatment for her mysterious health issue.

“I’m out of funds. I’m out over six figures at this point,” Glanville, 52, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, April 15, while promoting her “Remedy” single. “I don’t have the means to go anywhere at this point. I’m online every day, going down a different rabbit hole. It’s exhausting. It’s all-consuming.”

Glanville has been dealing with an unknown medical condition that has caused facial disfiguration for nearly two years. While speaking with Us, the Bravo alum revealed that she’s spent “over $113,000” trying to find a treatment outside of her health insurance plan. (Glanville has Kaiser and has already run through all their covered options, to no avail.)

“I just wanna find a doctor who makes it, like, his mission to help me,” Glanville said, noting that she still hasn’t received any answers or a definitive diagnosis. “And not just me, [but] these other poor women who have been going through this for so long, and men, too. I’ve had a couple men reach out. I feel for them, like, I know exactly what they’re talking about and the pressure in their head, how they feel it’s gonna explode. … I’m at my wits’ end.”

Brandi Glanville Wants to 'Cut Face Open' Amid Ongoing Health Battle

Glanville has tried an array of treatments and met with various doctors to try and find a concrete diagnosis and substantive treatment plan.

“So, I went to the best infectious disease doctor, I went to the best allergist,” she explained. “I had to because when you’ve seen every doctor at Kaiser and they’re telling you, ‘Maybe see a dentist.’ And you’re like, ‘I’m at the dentist constantly, [but] there’s a lump in my neck and my throat under my cheekbone that goes to the other side of my face.’”

Glanville has also undergone CAT scans, MRIs and ultrasounds, though none of them have revealed “whatever’s living in [her] face.”

“It’s moving down my body, like, literally in my neck now moving on my left shoulder [and] down my arm,” she said. “I have to get up, I have to stretch, I have to get in a hot tub. I have a routine and it sucks.”

While focused on her health battle, Glanville took a step back from the public eye and socializing.

“[My lowest moment is] just not living life and missing out on life,” Glanville said. “I literally don’t do anything and I feel like I’m experiencing [the] COVID-19 [pandemic lockdown] all over again, but with some miserable side effects.”

According to Glanville, her isolation feels like a “prison.”

Dr. Terry Dubrow Performed 4 Biopsies to Heal Brandi Glanville’s Face 

“I miss socializing with my girlfriends and then having sex with men,” she quipped. “I’m a Scorpio. I love sex. So, I was having a lot of it and now I haven’t had any of it and I’m like, ‘Have I forgotten how to kiss?’ But, like, I’ve lost myself. I feel more insecure than I ever have in my life. Normally, I feel fairly secure and I don’t get nervous. I don’t get anxiety about most things. Some things do give me anxiety, don’t get me wrong, but I feel like I lost Brandi.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum has also recently started a Cellsound treatment, which is considered an innovative facial and body-contouring treatment that helps to rejuvenate skin, stimulate increased collagen and eliminate excess fat cells.

“It’s an ultrasound therapy,” she explained. “It pisses off whatever’s going on there and it gives me reprieve from the pressure and it’s been very helpful.”

Glanville went on to note that she’s been taking antibiotics and doing a stem cell treatment with Dr. Joy Kong.

“Right after [Kong’s treatment], I had more energy. I feel better,” she said. “I mean, it hasn’t helped the looks of anything as of yet, but I’ve only done it once. I feel like, because my whole body aches, it’s very bizarre.”

While Glanville continues to look for answers about her health, working on her “Remedy” music debut has helped lift her spirits.

“I had the time of my life,” she gushed. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, I’m alive again. This is what I’ve been missing out on in life.’ Literally, I’m in Groundhog Day. So to do that was so fun, and Australians are my favorite people. We were just joking nonstop all day long on the set. It was just the best shoot day.”

Haley Joel Osment Arrested for Public Intoxication at Mammoth Resort

16 April 2025 at 16:54

Haley Joel Osment was arrested earlier this month at the Mammoth Mountain resort in California, Us Weekly can confirm.

Us confirmed on Wednesday, April 16, that the Sixth Sense actor was initially charged with disorderly conduct and possession of a controlled substance after being taken into custody on April 8. Osment, 37, stayed in jail overnight.

News broke on Wednesday that Osment was arrested after police received a call around 2 p.m. local time about an allegedly intoxicated individual at the ski resort. Osment was reportedly booked for public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance, according to TMZ, which was first to report the news.

The unknown substance was sent to a lab for testing, per the outlet, which noted that ski patrol was present when authorities arrived and arrested Osment.

Us Weekly has reached out to Osment for comment.

Osment’s arrest came three months after he lost his house in the Los Angeles wildfires. The January fires engulfed several cities in the greater Los Angeles area, including the Pacific Palisades (the Palisades Fire) and Altadena (the Eaton Fire) neighborhoods, claiming at least 20 lives, burning more than 35,000 acres of land and destroying more than 13,000 structures.

Both Osment and his parents lost their homes in the Eton Fire. “After he let his dogs out into the yard, he saw a large plume of black smoke and a glow coming from the canyon,” New York Magazine journalist Abe Streep wrote of Osment’s recount of the tragedy in late January. “So he loaded up his dogs, passport, and family photos and went to his parents’ house, which was nearby.”

Abe, who is the nephew of Meryl Streep, noted that Osment planned to rebuild once it was safe.

In the interim, Haley Joel exclusively told Us Weekly that he’s spending more time with his sister, Emily Osment, at her L.A. pad. “Because I lost my house in the fires, I’ve been living with her for the past a couple months,” he shared with Us in March. “So she’s been very generous and helping me out there. She’s fantastic.”

Emily, for her part, settled her divorce from Jack Anthony that same month. The pair were married five months before the Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage actress, 33, filed for divorce in March. Emily listed their date of separation as December 7, 2024.

Prior to his arrest earlier this month, Haley Joel had a run-in with the law in 2006 after crashing into a brick pillar while intoxicated. He pleaded no contest to one count of driving under the influence of alcohol and one count of possession of marijuana.

Haley Joel was sentenced to three years probation, 60 hours of alcohol rehab, six months of AA meetings and ordered to pay a $1,500 fine.

Josh Hall Is 'Grateful' for New Girlfriend Amid Christina Haack Divorce

16 April 2025 at 16:15

Josh Hall is showing his appreciation for new girlfriend Stephanie Gabrys amid his tumultuous divorce from Christina Haack.

Gabrys, 35, posted a photo of her and Hall, 44, via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, April 15, captioning the snap, “The Simple Things.”

In the picture, Hall had his arms wrapped around Gabrys as they smiled for the camera. The pair were out at an establishment in Leipers Fork, Tennessee. The post also included a snippet of Chayce Beckham’s song “Everything I Need.”

Hall reshared the photo on his Instagram Story.

“Grateful,” he captioned the pic.

Hall is in the middle of a contentious divorce from Haack, after the pair filed to end their marriage in July 2024 after two years together. Haack, 41, and Hall have been publicly at odds since they called it quits.

Earlier this year, Us Weekly broke the news that Hall was dating Gabrys after the pair met in Nashville a year prior. After his high-profile relationship with Haack, Hall wanted to keep his most recent romance private.

“He hasn’t made a show of the relationship, but it’s not a secret. Josh is just low-key,” a source told Us in January. “He is very happy with his life and looking forward to 2025 and what’s on the horizon. This is the happiest he’s been in some time.”

Later that month, Hall made things Instagram official with Gabrys.

“Happy 35th to this real life [angel],” he wrote via his Instagram Story, alongside a snap of him and Gabrys near a fire pit with mountains and a Christmas tree in the background

Haack, for her part, has also moved on — she hard launched her relationship with current boyfriend Christopher LaRocca on social media in February.

“Some plane flights must be hard posted,” she wrote via Instagram at the time, alongside a series of snaps of the couple posing in front of the plane, a solo shot of Haack projecting jet-set luxury and another where Haack posed with four pals.

Haack and Hall have yet to finalize their divorce, and are gearing up to hash it out in court. The Christina on the Coast star confirmed last month during an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Live that she and Hall’s divorce mediation was scheduled to begin in April.

Christina Haack Claims Josh Hall Has Been 'Wandering' Her Neighborhood

During the interview, Haack also gave an update on how she and her family were doing amid her divorce. (Haack shares children Taylor, 14, and Brayden, 9, with Tarek El Moussa and son Hudson, 5, with Ant Anstead.)

“Everyone’s just doing better since he’s gone. Just all that negative energy,” she said in March. “I truly tried to make that work and tried to give him the self-help tools, tried to keep him busy and tried to say, ‘Why don’t we start flipping houses?’ and all those things. No matter what, you can’t make someone else happy. They can only make themselves happy.”

16 April 2025 at 16:07

Amy Slaton’s newfound love with boyfriend Brian Scott Lovvorn is so strong that the pair have already discussed the possibility of becoming parents.

During the Tuesday, April 15, episode of 1,000-Lb. Sisters, Amy, 37, shocked sister Amanda Halterman when recalling a recent conversation she had with her man.

“He was talking about me getting my tubes untied,” she said. “To have another baby.”

Visibly shocked by the revelation, Amanda, 44, tried her best to remain calm and, instead, simply shared some solid relationship advice with her sibling.

“Take it slow. Keep your guard up, because sometimes it’s that snowball effect where they treat you for some type of way for so long and then after you’ve been together for two or three months, you really start to see how they treat you,” she shared. “And that’s when the true them comes out.”

In a confessional interview, however, Amanda couldn’t stay quiet about how she really felt about her sister possibly getting pregnant with Brian’s future baby.

“Hell no. The f***?” she said. “I’m not sure if she’s thinking with her va-jay jay or not, but she should have a cold f***ng shower and he should, too.”

At another point in the episode, Amanda shared her apprehensions about Amy’s dating life as she tried to move on from her marriage with ex-husband Michael Halterman.

“I do worry about Amy,” Amanda explained. “When she starts dating someone, she gets this warm, fuzzy feeling and the butterflies, and she’s head-over-heels to the point where she’s already talking about getting married.”

Elsewhere in the season premiere, Tammy Slaton offered a glimpse into her romantic life after her husband Caleb Willingham died in July 2023 at the age of 40.

In a confessional interview, the TLC star, 38, said she has been seeing somebody new — she just hasn’t told her family just yet.

“The person I’m dating is a woman,” Tammy revealed. “A few years ago, I came out as pansexual but after Caleb’s passing, I just, I don’t want to be with men anymore.”

As for why she’s keeping her relationship a secret, Tammy explained that she isn’t ready to hear what she knows will be her relatives’ many opinions.

“I think I want to approach this relationship differently than I have in the past, so I haven’t told my family ‘cause my family is going to have something to say about it,” she shared. “I think my family has more opinions than the world has a**holes because they be farting so much.”

Barbra Streisand and James Brolin were unlucky in love until fate brought them together.

Years before she met Brolin, Streisand married Elliot Gould in 1963 and welcomed son Jason before they split in 1971. Brolin, for his part, walked down the aisle twice before meeting the singer; he was married to Jane Cameron Agee from 1966 to 1984 and Jan Smithers from 1986 to 1995. James shares son Josh and daughter Jess with Agee and daughter Molly with Smithers.

Streisand and Brolin were later set up on a blind date by their friends and hit it off. After two years of dating, the couple tied the knot in September 1998 and have been together ever since. While they have no children of their own, the twosome are the proud parents — and grandparents — of their blended brood.

1996

Streisand revealed that she and Brolin met at a dinner party orchestrated by their friends and the actor’s appearance at the event took her by surprise.

“We were set up as a blind date, and I was so shy that I came into the house and I went downstairs to be with the children and play with them until I had to sit down at the table,” Streisand recalled of first meeting Brolin at a friend’s dinner party during 2021 appearance on The Tonight Show. “I expected a guy with a brown beard and brown, wavy hair, like a mountain man and I saw a guy that had all his hair cut off, no beard. And I walked by him. I put my hand through his hair and said, ‘Who f—ked up your hair?’”

Later that year, they made their red carpet debut as a couple at the premiere of The Mirror Has Two Faces in November 1996.

After two years of dating, Brolin and Streisand tied the knot in a star-studded ceremony in July 1998. John Travolta, Kelly Preston, Tom Hanks, Rita Wilson, Quincy Jones and Sydney Pollack were all in attendance for the duo’s nuptials.

One month after walking down the aisle, Brolin received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Streisand was by his side for the ceremony.

2000

Streisand was awarded the National Medal of Arts by former President Bill Clinton, and she was joined by Brolin at the White House.

2003

The pair attended the premiere of Brolin’s film A Guy Thing. The following year, Streisand and Brolin walked the red carpet together for the premiere of her film Meet the Fockers.

2007

When Streisand received the Légion d’Honneur — the highest French order of merit — from then-President Nicolas Sarkozy, Brolin attended the pinning ceremony at the Elysee Palace in Paris. The next year, the EGOT winner was honored by the Kennedy Center and Brolin was her plus-one for the gala.

2015

Going into 17 years of marriage, Brolin shared that he and Streisand’s relationship works well because they keep separate bank accounts.

“We bifurcated, and I love it that way,” the actor said during a November 2015 interview with HuffPost Live. “This is my third marriage, and I know what trouble can come out of marriage, so I didn’t want any reason that I would ever have to be either divorced or married again.”

2018

The couple celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary and Streisand penned a heartfelt message to Brolin for the milestone.

“Has it really been 22 years since our blind date? Married for 20 years. Happy anniversary honey,” she wrote via Instagram in July 2018.

2021

While in lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, Brolin shared that quarantining with Streisand strengthened their relationship.

“We, for a long time, were put out by COVID. And a lot of people, their marriages haven’t gone well during these 15 months,” he shared during a June 2021 interview with The Talk. “We’ve literally fallen in love over this period of time, just being stuck together every day and making it work.

2023

As the pair celebrated 25 years of marriage, Streisand revealed that all she wants to do with the rest of her life is spend quality time with Brolin and their family.

“I want to live life,” she told the BBC in an interview published in November 2023. “I want to get in my husband’s truck and just wander, hopefully with the children somewhere near us. Life is fun for me when they come over. They love playing with the dogs and we have fun.”

2023

Streisand opened up about her relationship with Brolin in Her November 2023 memoir, My Name Is Barbra. “It was unusual for me to get this close to someone so quickly. But Jim wasn’t intimidated by me,” she said of their first meeting in 1996. “In fact, he was very supportive and said, I want to empower you.”

The same month as the book’s release, Brolin revealed that he had been celibate for three years prior to tying the knot with Streisand. “I had not had any interest in getting involved in a lousy situation,” he told Gayle King during a November 2023 interview on CBS Mornings.

King proceeded to ask, “After three years, that must have been a hell of a night then?” to which Brolin replied by calling his and Streisand’s wedding night “wild.”

Barbra Streisand Through the Years: Broadway and Beyond

April 2025 

During an appearance on the Today show, Brolin was asked to share the secret to his 26-year marriage to Streisand.

“You learn to take a walk,” he joked to Dylan Dreyer. “Both of us, not just me. I just think you gotta say, ‘OK, take a deep breath, take a walk.'”

The Ransom Canyon actor also gave credit to having a nice bed for keeping things peaceful.

“The best investment we’ve ever made is our mattress,” he explained. “And don’t misunderstand me. We’re both lazy. We love to sleep late. We do a lot of our work on the phone, on paper, reading, right next to each other.”

Katy Perry Wore This Now-$11 Setting Spray to Secure Her Glam From ‘Liftoff to Landing’

16 April 2025 at 15:30

History was made earlier this week when Blue Origin’s first female flight crew blasted off into space. I watched in amazement as the members made a quick trip to the stratosphere, and through it all I couldn’t take my eyes off Katy Perry’s makeup. The 40-year-old singer-songwriter’s complexion remained flawless through zero gravity, and it’s all thanks to the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist.

No glam has ever reached space, so there was no telling how a full beat would hold up. This is why Perry’s makeup artist Alexandra French layered this makeup-locking setting spray over the finished look. “Knowing the emotion of the day, we double set the makeup with the Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist — and it truly held, from liftoff to landing,” French said.

Worth It: This Beyonce-Loved Setting Spray Preserves my Makeup

This setting spray actually has some anti-gravity-esque features. Namely, the micro fine mist floats onto your skin for a weightless effect, cementing makeup into place for up to 36 hours. Makeup artists swear by the formula because it makes your final look impermeable to sweat and water.

Ever since the 3-Second Setting Mist launched last year, it has become a favorite among celebrities and athletes alike. Suni Lee swore by it before taking the Olympic stage, and it kept her makeup pristine through all of her impressive backflips, too. Everyday people have also ditched more expensive formulas for this affordable and effective pick.

“I am so oily and this holds my makeup together for hours,” one Amazon shopper writes. “I slathered my face in it for my wedding and it survived through tears, sweating, and even jumping in a pool. For events like that, where you need your makeup to LAST, I highly recommended using it. For the price, you cannot beat the results you will get with this!”

‘One small step for women, one giant leap for long-lasting makeup.’ That’s the correct quote, right? Regardless, if the L’Oréal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist can help makeup survive space missions, it’s guaranteed to make it look flawless through anything life throws at you.

Lake Bell Reveals ‘Parameters’ for Introducing Kids to New Partners

16 April 2025 at 15:26

Lake Bell is open about coparenting her two kids with ex-husband Scott Campbell — and that includes how the two navigate dating as single parents.

Bell, 46, explained in an interview with Parents.com published on Monday, April 14, that since she and Campbell, 47, divorced in 2020, they have established rules about introducing their kids to new partners.

“Scott and I had parameters around it, and now we trust each other to decide when the time is right,” she said. “But I generally don’t rush into it. If I’m still hanging out with someone five or six months in and they’ve shown that they care about meeting them, then OK. It can also happen sooner if they have their own children. Because if the kids despise each other, it can’t go any further. You can’t glue these kids together.”

The pair share son Ozzi, 7, and daughter Nova, 11, and raising them has come with its own challenges. Ozzi nearly died at birth after being born at home with his umbilical cord around his neck and Nora was diagnosed with epilepsy in 2020.

“We went through the trenches together,” Bell said of Campbell. “And so we have respect for each other, sort of like army buddies.”

Bell and Campbell laid the groundwork for their philosophy in coparenting therapy, which they attended for two years after their divorce.

“Even when we didn’t want to go and it was annoying or difficult, we still went,” the It’s Complicated actress explained. “We did it for the good of our children and for us, too. We’re in each other’s lives no matter what, so we can resent each other for all the things or do something about it.”

Bell has been stressing the importance of respect and communication between coparents since she and Campbell officially called it quits.

“[We can] never think, ‘Oh, we had that one conversation that was good, and therefore, now we’re good for the rest of our lives.’ It’s an evolution, you know?” she shared in a 2022 exclusive interview with Us Weekly. “It’s a constant, it’s any rapport, but it’s, like, the most important rapport of my life. It’s for our children’s sake.”

She even called Campbell a friend and likened coparenting with him to running a business.

“I do have an infrastructure, which I’m very grateful for that,” she explained. “Our caregivers, my ex-husband and I are really tight. We’re good friends. Like, we work together. There’s a business that’s being run, you know? And so, in order to make sure that the children feel like they know what the week is gonna be, what the schedule is, they don’t feel like they’re being upended. That’s really the job.”

What Is Diabetes Mellitus? Michelle Trachtenberg's Cause of Death Explained

16 April 2025 at 15:06

Michelle Trachtenberg’s cause of death has been officially determined less than two months after she died at the age of 39.

The New York City Office of Chief Medical Examiner confirmed on Wednesday, April 16, that Trachtenberg’s sudden death was a result of complications of diabetes mellitus. As a result, the medical examiner ruled the death as natural, according to People.

According to the Mayo Clinic, diabetes mellitus refers to a “group of diseases that affect how the body uses blood sugar” a.k.a. glucose. Glucose is the brain’s main source of fuel and a key source of energy for cells in the human body.

While the main cause of diabetes varies with each type, the hospital explains that diabetes can result in excess sugar in the blood, which can cause a variety of serious health issues.

Symptoms also vary based on if someone has prediabetes (when you have higher than normal blood sugar levels), gestational diabetes (diagnosed during pregnancy, which often resides once the pregnancy ends), Type 2 diabetes (when the body can’t use insulin correctly and sugar builds up) or Type 1 diabetes (when the pancreas makes little-to-no insulin).

Everything to Know About Michelle Trachtenberg's Death, Investigation

The most common symptoms for Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are losing weight, feeling tired or weak, experiencing mood changes, blurry vision, slow-healing sores, infections and the presence of ketones in the urine. (Ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that occurs when there’s not enough insulin, per the Mayo Clinic.)

Long-term complications of diabetes include heart and blood vessel disease, nerve damage, kidney damage, eye and foot damage as well as skin and mouth conditions and hearing impairment. Mayo Clinic also reports an increased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and depression can happen with prolonged diabetes.

Michelle Trachtenberg's Neighbors Reflect on the Actress' Final Months

Us Weekly confirmed in February that Trachtenberg died at the age of 39. Police sources told Us at the time that the Gossip Girl alum’s death was not being investigated as suspicious.

Prior to her death, Trachtenberg received hate from online trolls over her thinner appearance and gaunt facial features. The actress slammed “haters” who questioned her appearance via Instagram in January 2024.

Michelle Trachtenberg Was ‘Thrown’ Health ‘Curveballs’ Before Death

“Explain to me how I look sick. Did you lose a calendar and not realize I’m not 14. I’m 38. How sad for you to leave such a comment,” Trachtenberg wrote in the comments section of a photo she previously posted. “I’ve received several comments recently about my appearance. I have never had plastic surgery. I am happy and healthy. Check yourself haters.”

Last month, a source exclusively told Us that Trachtenberg’s health had been deteriorating for some time. The insider confirmed that the Harriet the Spy actress had a liver transplant in the months prior to her death.

“She was very open with those close to her about having the transplant,” a friend of Trachtenberg told Us in March, noting that the late actress “never went into detail.”

Florida Basketball Coach Executed NIL Deal From Labor and Delivery Room

16 April 2025 at 15:03

Just hours before giving birth to her son last month, University of Florida women’s basketball coach Kelly Rae Finley still had work to do. 

With her team thousands of miles away in Indianapolis preparing for their WBIT semifinal game against the University of Minnesota, Finley, 39, was in a hospital bed in Gainesville, Florida, preparing to welcome her first baby. While in labor, Finley was made aware that one of her star players was in the process of being poached by another program. 

So, Finley sprung into action and hopped onto a video call amid contractions to secure an NIL deal necessary to keep her player at Florida. 

“I owe it to our student-athletes to put our best foot forward in terms of providing an experience to them that’s second-to-none,” Finley exclusively told Us Weekly. “I owe it to my partner and my family and my new son to give my best effort, as well. I was having contractions and I had this Zoom call and I was like, ‘I turned my camera off, guys.’ And we continued on our way.”

After successfully negotiating a deal with her representatives over the course of a 90-minute meeting, Finley and her fiancé, Shawn Wolf, welcomed son Laken on March 31.

Finley was pregnant throughout her team’s season, but despite all of the stress that comes with being a collegiate head coach Finley said those in her inner circle described her as “the most relaxed pregnant person.”

“I do feel like we were able to make the progress that needed to be made,” Finley said of the Gators’ season. “I don’t think [the pregnancy] was a distraction by any stretch of the imagination. I think for our student-athletes, if anything, it just proves to them that as a woman you can do it all.”

Finley’s sentiment was echoed by members of her team, who applauded her tenacity given all of the developments happening in her family off the court.

“Coach Kelly’s Leadership and fight makes me want to be a better teammate and better player,” Florida guard Me’Arah O’Neal told Us. “Her dedication to her players and staff and her dedication to this program is inspiring in so many ways. She is a fierce competitor and through all of that she is the best coach anyone could ever ask for. She is kind, very genuine, very understanding, inspiring in so many ways.” 

O’Neal, the 18-year-old daughter of NBA Hall of Famer Shaquille O’Neal, added, “I am more than grateful to be playing alongside her, and beyond grateful she gave me this opportunity.”

Florida guard Laila Reynolds agreed, saying Finley has “a deep commitment to this program that reflects her selflessness and who she is as a person.”

“She’s a coach who has never given up on me or my teammates,” Reynolds told Us. “She does everything and gives everything to help us find success in the program we’re building together.”

Why Chelsea Handler Took Parenting Classes Despite Being Kid-Free

16 April 2025 at 14:43

Chelsea Handler revealed she decided to take parenting classes — despite not having kids of her own.

“I’ll always say, like, ‘I could be a great stepfather,” Handler, 50, joked during the Tuesday, April 16, episode of Monica Lewinsky’s “Reclaiming” podcast.

The former Chelsea Lately host has spoken publicly over the years about her decision not to have children. She elaborated on those views during a frank conversation with Lewisnky, who related her own experience of not having kids despite always wanting to be a mother.

At one point in their discussion, Lewinsky praised Handler for actively engaging with the children in her life by taking parenting classes.

”I just wanted to understand the psychology of children to do a better job at whatever my role is. [The kids in my life] call me ‘father’ and ‘dad’ as a joke,” she quipped. “I’m coming in hot on the weekends, like McDonalds, Disneyland … I get interested in whatever they’re [into]. If they’re [the kids] on the floor, I’m on the floor. If they want to ski, I want to ski.”

Handler credited the lessons learned in her parenting classes as being helpful when one of the children in her life “became obstinate” and “difficult.”

Chelsea Handler's Dating History: From 50 Cent to Jo Koy

“They had a fractious relationship with both of their parents,” she noted. “I was like, ‘Something’s not working here. Like, I want to learn how to handle them.’ What I learned, and how you deal with children who are rebellious and angry, is you’re there. You just remain there.”

She continued, “You can’t threaten [the kids], you don’t yell at them. You meet them where they are and remind them how loved they are, and that you’re not going anywhere.”

As she chatted with Lewinsky, Handler argued that experiences like theirs aren’t represented adequately in the public discourse regarding motherhood, parenting and caregiving.

“There’s a chapter in this book [her new memoir, I’ll Have What She’s Having] where I talk about my ex-boyfriend’s daughters, who I became incredibly close with and there’s a couple of other friends’ daughters, sons, too. Children in my life, aside from my eight nieces and nephews, who occupy a lot of my time,” she pointed out.

Inside Chelsea Handler's Dating Life: What Her New Man Has That Others Don't

The talk show host then made a key point, saying, “I have so much bandwidth because I don’t have children — to spread the love, and the joy and the happiness … I’ve dated men who’ve had children and I’ve been able to show up for them in ways that I probably wouldn’t have been able to had I had my own family. I feel like there’s an unsung story about people who don’t have children, whether it’s by choice or by circumstance, that there are so many opportunities to have children in your life. You have to find those.”

In March, Handler shared a similar view when Jimmy Kimmel suggested she adopt children during an interview on his show Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“I have plenty of children in my life. Yeah, I do. I actually do,” Handler corrected him. “I think, you know, another misconception about not having your own children is that people think I hate kids. I don’t hate kids, I just don’t want one. It’s just, like, I don’t want spaghetti bolognese — I’m not interested, you know?”

She previously downplayed the likelihood of ever marrying, either, telling Us Weekly exclusively in February that she simply was “not the marrying kind.”

Celebrities Explain Why They Don’t Want to Have Children

“I am not looking for children, as we well know,” she added. “I’ve established that for a very long time now, and I just want to have lots of love stories. I feel like that’s kind of the most romantic way to look at love. I’m glad that I know that about myself because I think so many women are starting to be more open about this idea that this love story and prince charming nonsense that we’re sold is so silly.”

Handler was romantically linked to former E! network president Ted Harbert as well as rapper and actor 50 Cent in the past. The comedian more recently dated fellow comic Jo Koy for nearly a year before splitting in 2022.

Us May Have Guessed the Filming Location for Season 4 of ‘The White Lotus’

16 April 2025 at 14:30

With the explosive The White Lotus season 3 finale in the rearview, Us can’t wait to see what showrunner Mike White does next with the series — and where in the world he does it.

Although The White Lotus premiered as a limited series in August 2021 (pandemic restrictions granted the production team rare access to film across an entire resort property), its huge success spurred two additional seasons, making it an anthology series in which each season takes place at a different White Lotus resort.

The first season took place in Hawaii, followed by the second season in Sicily, Italy, and the third in Thailand. Before the third installment even premiered, The White Lotus was renewed for a fourth season in January 2025.

But where will our favorite wealthy, debaucherous and sometimes murderous cast of characters go next season? Us Weekly has a good guess.

Will There Be 'White Lotus' All-Stars Season? What to Know

Given that each White Lotus season is filmed at a Four Seasons resort location, it is possible to use the process of elimination to narrow down which resorts are up for grabs for White, 54, to select.

Ruling out the three resorts already used as filming locations (the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea, the Four Seasons Taormina at San Domenico Palace and the Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui), brings us to 131 property options. It’s also safe to assume that White won’t want to return to any resorts in Hawaii, Italy or Thailand so as not to be repetitive, bringing us down to 122 properties.

Here’s the catch: While all seasons so far have taken place on beachfront resorts, White recently said, “For the fourth season, I want to get a little bit out of the ‘crashing waves against rocks’ vernacular.”

But don’t get too excited: it’s very unlikely they would do a ski resort or any cold climate for that matter according to White Lotus producer David Bernad.

“I’d bet $100,000 we don’t end up in the cold next. Even if we flirted with the idea, Mike just wouldn’t want to be in the cold. He hates it,” he told The Hollywood Reporter earlier this month.

Eliminating all beachfront resorts — along with those in U.S. continental cities, given the past precedent of overseas travel following season one’s Hawaiian adventure — brings us to 43 remaining options.

White said at Sydney’s Vivid Festival that his dream would be “would be to hit every continent,” and just last week he told Howard Stern, “I don’t think we’re going to go to South America. I think probably not,” ahead of his own personal vacation to Colombia.

Taking out South America, North America, Europe and Asia as potential options leaves just five properties — and all signs point to Africa.

Now That 'The White Lotus' Season 3 Is Over, Watch These 5 Great Shows

Two Cairo locations, one at Nile Plaza and one at The First Residence, in addition to the Four Seasons Safari Lodge at Serengeti National Park, The Westcliff in Johannesburg and the Four Seasons in Marrakech are on Us’ shortlist for season 4 filming locations.

Will we see a new cast of fan favorites marveling at the Great Pyramids? Rubbing elbows with elephants and lions on Serengeti safari? Maybe!

A season in Johannesburg, South Africa — a country still grappling with the haunting legacy of apartheid — would align with the themes The White Lotus is all about: wealth disparity, indigenous cultures, colonialism, racial inequities and satirizing the social and political issues of the locale.

Furthermore, since White has acknowledged “where we choose to go next could be hugely impactful to that destination,” a White Lotus season in South Africa could help boost the country’s economy (which has seen a sharp decline over the last decade) and raise awareness of both the current and past issues the nation has faced.

While we can give our best guess, at the end of the day, nobody knows what is up Mike White’s sleeve except Mike White. (Take that season 3 finale for example —come on!) But we’ll be seated every Sunday when season 4 premieres no matter where in the world the show ends up.

16 April 2025 at 14:27

Former U.S. Women’s National Team star Alex Morgan welcomed her son Enzo with husband Servando Carrasco just two weeks ago — and she’s ready to show off her postpartum body.

Clad in a black top and gray shorts, Morgan, 35, snapped a selfie of her post-baby body that she shared on Tuesday, April 15. The Olympic gold medalist reflected on her pregnancy and new life as a mother of two in the caption. (Morgan and Carrasco also share daughter Charlie, 4.

“A woman’s body is insane,” she wrote. “Real talk. We carry a child for 9 months, push them out of our bodies (in my case 20hrs of labor, and 4hrs of pushing 🙃) then boom, here you go, back to reality—with barely any recovery time.”

“Truly amazed by what women are capable of…from world championships to motherhood,” she added. “Thanks to @fridamom for the assist every step of the way.”

Fans and ex-teammates alike flooded the comments section with supportive messages for Morgan, who retired from professional soccer in 2024.

“Mom goals,” her former USWNT teammate Sophia Wilson wrote.

“Go momma. Looking awesome as per ussss,” Heather O’Reilly, also a former teammate, added.

Morgan and Carrasco announced Enzo’s arrival in a joint Instagram post on March 30, showing the newborn’s feet and hand in a pair of black-and-white photos.

“Soaking it all up right now,” they wrote in the caption. “Welcome to the world baby Enzo.”

Morgan first revealed she was pregnant in September at the same time she announced her retirement. The striker shared an emotional video via Instagram explaining her decision to hang up her cleats.

“I’m retiring and I have so much clarity about this decision and I’m so happy to be able to finally tell you,” she said in the video. “It has been a long time coming and this decision wasn’t easy but at the beginning of 2024, I felt in my heart and soul that this was the last season that I would play soccer.”

“Soccer has been a part of me for 30 years, and it was one of the first things that I ever loved,” she continued. “I gave everything to this sport and what I got in return was more than I could have ever dreamed of. Success for me is defined by never giving up and giving your all, and I did just that.”

Morgan added that it was not the retirement video she intended to share.

“Because Charlie’s gonna be a big sister,” she announced. “I am pregnant and as unexpected as this came, we are so overjoyed. To me, family means everything. I wouldn’t be here without my husband and my family motivating and encouraging and supporting me — and sacrificing for me for the last 15 years as a professional soccer athlete.”

Jana Kramer Thinks Allan Russell Would Be OK With 'White Lotus' Sex Scenes

16 April 2025 at 14:24

Jana Kramer believes that husband Allan Russell would give her his blessing to film an intimate scene if it was for the hit Max series The White Lotus.

“There are some very sexual scenes in that show though. I think those are one of the roles where that moves needles,” the actress, 41, said on the Tuesday, April 15, episode of her “Whine Down” podcast. “And that’s when we have the conversation that this is a huge opportunity and if I have to get naked, I’ll get naked for this one.”

Kramer was joined by Russell, 44, for the podcast, who also weighed in on the hypothetical situation. At one point he asked if that would include being “totally naked.” Kramer shared she wasn’t sure, but did not think that would be the case.

“Honestly, they’re showing people’s d***s left and right in the show and I’m like, ’For what reason? Why?’ I just don’t see the point of it,” she said. “I will say this, the part that was funny — showing the penis was when Steve Zahn’s character [did it.] … Like when it’s a comedic beat, I think that’s funny to just show a penis.”

Jana Kramer's Husband Clarifies Comments About Her Doing Sex Scenes

Last year, Kramer and Russell made headlines after the pair had a candid conversation about his comfort level with his wife doing intimate scenes for her job.

“I was just like, ‘There’s not part of me that will ever, ever, ever allow that, ever, for a man to be that close to you like that [on set],” Russell said in a December 2024 “Whine Down” podcast episode when discussing a sex scene from Yellowstone season 5.

When Kramer asked her husband if he would make an exception for her if she was offered a show like Yellowstone, Russell doubled down on his position.

“I’ll be, like, phoning the producers and threatening the producers [like], ‘You need to change that scene. For the good of your health, you need to change this scene,’” he stated, adding that from his perspective — as someone outside the entertainment industry — he doesn’t think actors filming sex scenes is “healthy for any relationship.”

He continued: “That’s not good for a marriage, that type of role, it’s not, especially [for] a man who’s not in the acting world. It’s difficult. So, therefore, that’s my opinion based on [the fact that] I’m not in that world.”

After Russell’s stance made headlines, he clarified that it would have to be something he and Kramer discussed.

“If the opportunity is good for your career, then it’s clearly a marital discussion,” he explained on an additional podcast episode in December 2024. “And listen, if you feel it’s good for your career, then I’m never gonna hold you back from doing something. You know that.”

Kramer broached the subject with Russell again, asking if he thought it would be “worth a conversation” if she was given the opportunity.

What 'The White Lotus' Cast Has Said About Filming Those Full Frontal Scenes

“I’m happy to open a conversation on most things,” Russell replied. “How quickly I shut it down is another thing.”

While Russell didn’t elaborate his position on a possible nude scene for a potential role on The White Lotus further, Kramer offered her two cents on how she believed the hypothetical conversation would go.

“I don’t think you would shut this down,” she added. “I think I think this would be one of the roles that you’re not gonna like [it,] but you would be so excited for me.”

Russell agreed, going on to admit that he knows how “hard” Kramer works all the time. He teased that if she was on The White Lotus, they should also cast a Scottish guy. (Russell is a former professional soccer player from Scotland.)
