Man v. Food's Adam Richman Ready to 'Rebuild' After Mysterious 2nd Surgery

24 May 2025 at 11:39

Beloved food show host Adam Richman is giving fans an update following a mysterious second operation.

“I’m home, and grateful to have made it through,” the Man v. Food host wrote in an update to an original Instagram post shared on Friday, May 23. “Feeling quite rough, but that’s to be expected. Looking to use this summer to rebuild mentally and physically and come out with some new bangers for you this fall.”

He added, “Also Jalen Brunson should NOT have tried that long range three,” referring to the New York Knicks’ guard and his recent playoff performance

On Friday, Richman, 51, shared a vague post asking fans for their prayers and well-wishes ahead of a mysterious second surgery.

Celebrity Health Scares Through the Years

“Hello beautiful people. Don’t want to scare anyone like last time, so just want to be ultra clear-Today is surgery number two,” he wrote. “And because nobody knows the future, I just wanted to once again tell all those who have been so kind and supportive of me & the shows I make and have made, I am forever grateful & love you all so much.”

The original post continued, “If I’m granted the opportunity to come out of this, I promise I’ll continue to work my tail off to give you my all. Blessed to live the life I have & yes, blessed to live long enough to see my beloved @spursofficial lift a European Trophy. If ya have a second, lift your boy up in your prayers. See ya on the other side.”

One month earlier, the former host sparked concern over his health after sharing a cryptic Instagram post in which he said he never claimed to be perfect.

“Thank you all for the support you have given & the chance to live out my dreams to uplift so many others through the shows that I make, and to tell their stories,” he wrote on April 10. “I’m not perfect, never claimed to be. I’ve always tried my best and tried to lead with love. I’m rooting for all of you, & appreciate every last one of you.”

Later, Richman gave fans an update in which he explained the post and apologized for causing so much online worry.

“I wasn’t going to say anything because it’s kind of a personal nature,” he said at the time. “So I have to have a couple of surgeries. Thankfully it’s just to fix some injuries I’ve had. It’s nothing, God forbid, related to a much more serious medical condition. But they’re serious surgeries to fix these injuries.”

Richman went on to explain that his father had undergone what he referred to as a “routine surgery” when he was 52 and “never came out,” which left the television host afraid of hospitals and surgeries.

“These injuries are maybe a little bit of a result of me feeling my own age,” he added. “I’m scared. I’m super scared out of my mind, and a bit sad. I know nowadays, everyone’s trying to be a sigma — no one wants to admit any kind of fear, but I’m scared.”

Ahead of his unspecified procedures, Richman said he “prayed” and, as a result, felt “a lot of gratitude and a bit of humility” which ultimately inspired him to share the original, concerning post.

“I was trying to communicate because the bottom line is that I work at the pleasure of the people that enjoy my shows,” he explained. “That enjoy me as a host —or whatever that is.”

Khloe Kardashian Introduces Her Kids to ‘Cheetah Girls’ Starring Rob’s Ex

24 May 2025 at 11:29

Khloé Kardashian is ready to usher in a whole new generation of “Cheetah sisters.”

“Girl sleepover and it’s about that time @adriennebailon,” Kardashian, 40, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Friday, May 24, sharing a photo of her TV cued up to watch 2003’s The Cheetah Girls on Disney+.

While it’s not known who scored invites to the intimate sleepover, Kardashian shares daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 2, with ex Tristan Thompson. She also frequently babysits her 8-year-old niece Dream Kardashian, the daughter of exes Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna.

The now-classic Disney Channel Original Movie, based on Deborah Gregory’s book series of the same name, starred Raven-Symoné, Sabrina Bryan, Kiely Williams and Bailon-Houghton, now 41, as a teenage girl band. The musical’s success spawned two televised sequels in 2006 and 2008, respectively. (Bryan, 40, Williams, 38, and Bailon also went on multiple live concert tours and recorded several CDs as their onscreen personas.)

Adrienne Bailon Is 'Waiting' for Playdate With Kourtney Kardashian's Son

During the Cheetah Girls’ heyday, Bailon-Houghton dated Rob, now 38, from 2007 to 2009. Bailon-Houghton and her family even made cameos on his family’s Keeping Up With the Kardashians docuseries at the time.

“It really is the shortest relationship I’ve ever had,” Bailon-Houghton, who is now married to producer Israel Houghton, exclusively recalled to Us Weekly in December 2018 of her previous romance. “I was like, ‘Guys, but I’ve accomplished other things.’”

She added, “I think that even got misinterpreted as me saying at some point I wish I had never done the show. I don’t think it was that at all. … I just was annoyed that people tried to say that was the only thing I had accomplished. So, that was a sucky spot in my career.”

Bailon-Houghton rose to fame as a member of girl group 3LW before The Cheetah Girls came her way. She’s since starred in additional film projects, launched a jewelry line and cohosted The Real talk show.

While Bailon-Houghton has moved on from Rob and their one-time romance, she still keeps up with his famous siblings.

“I love those girls and I think that they’re amazing,” Bailon-Houghton told Us in January 2024. “They’re girls’ girls. They’re always there to lift you up and be like, ‘You’ve got this. You look amazing,’ give a compliment, and it’s awesome.”

At the time, the actress told Us that she was “waiting” to introduce her 2-year-old son, Ever, to Kourtney Kardashian’s youngest, Rocky. (Kourtney, 46, and husband Travis Barker welcomed their son in November 2023. They each have three older kids from previous relationships.)

“We’re definitely going to make it happen,” Bailon-Houghton quipped.

How Carey Mulligan's Pregnancy Affected ‘Ballad of Wallis Island’ Offer

24 May 2025 at 10:42

The offer to star in The Ballad of Wallis Island came amidst Carey Mulligan’s pregnancy with her third baby.

Marcus [Mumford, my husband] told me I needed to do the film before I even read the script because he was such a big fan,” Mulligan, 39, told The Times of London in an interview published on Friday, May 23. “I said, ‘Well, I’m going to read it first.’ But he just said, ‘Be in the film.’”

The Ballad of Wallis Island is based on Tom Basden and Tim Key’s 2007 short film of the same name, which was nominated for a BAFTA that same year. Since then, Mumford, 38, became a devoted listener of the Key’s Poetry Programme radio show on BBC Radio 4.

Mulligan had announced in January 2023 that she and the Mumford & Sons frontman were expecting their third child. (They also share daughter Evelyn, now 9, and son Wilfred, now 7.)

Carey Mulligan Confirms She and Marcus Mumford Quietly Welcomed 3rd Baby

While Mulligan was initially aware that joining Wallis Island meant that she’d be shooting the project newly postpartum, she couldn’t bear to turn down director Richard Curtis’ offer.

“I wanted to be in something fun,” Mulligan told The Times. “I wanted to be a part of something that would give people joy. I am aware that I’ve done lots of quite sad films. I thought, ‘Oh, I’ll be in something lovely, I’m not going to make anyone cry.’”

Mulligan and the crew shot Wallis Island in August 2023 in just 18 days on location in Wales.

“[It was] the shortest shoot I’ve ever done,” Mulligan recalled, noting her youngest child was 10 weeks old at the time. “My mum came [to help and] my family came. We saw lots of aunts and uncles. It’s a massive advert for Wales. It looks so beautiful.”

Mulligan also had Mumford’s support during production.

“He loved them all and was around for a bit of the rehearsals. He was a cheerleader in the background,” Mulligan gushed, also noting that she was a bit nervous about singing with Basden, 45, Key, 48, at a May screening, unlike her spouse on the set. “I did it, but it was excruciating. I can do it fine on set and in character, but that just pushed me completely over the edge.”

Mulligan revealed in October 2023 that she had given birth earlier that year, telling Vogue that life as a mom of three was “very normal.” (Mulligan and Mumford have not publicly shared their little one’s name or sex.)

The Pride and Prejudice actress and Mumford, who have been married since 2012, often keep details about their family private. While speaking with The Times, Mulligan did tease that she planned to have “a lovely summer off” with her kids in the forthcoming months.

Alana Thompson Claims She ‘Never’ Received ‘Here Comes Honey Boo Boo’ Money

24 May 2025 at 10:26

Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson might be a well-known reality star — but that doesn’t mean she’s been paid like one.

“I never had gotten all the money. I have never, ever received the Here Comes Honey Boo Boo money. I’ve never seen it,” Thompson, 19, claimed in an interview with People published on Saturday, May 24, alleging that she has received zero funds from her time starring on both reality TV shows Here Comes Honey Boo Boo and Toddlers & Tiaras.

“Never ever even heard of it, if I’m being completely honest,” she added. “I don’t know what happened to it.”

This isn’t the first time money has been a contentious topic for Thompson, who rose to fame when she starred on Here Comes Honey Boo Boo, which aired on TLC from 2012 to 2017. The series followed the child beauty pageant contestant and her family, including mom June “Mama June” Shannon — who stars in the WeTV spinoff series, Mama June: From Not to Hot. The show began airing in 2017, with season 7 set to premiere on May 30.

Alana 'Honey Boo Boo' Thompson: Custody Drama Caused 'Deep Depression'

An April 2025 trailer for the upcoming season revealed Thompson and Shannon are still sparring over cash. The clip begins with June telling the group, “Even though we might be a dysfunctional family, the dysfunctionality works for our family.” In the next clip, Thompson is seen asking Shannon for the money she owes, as June hands her what appears to be a dry-erase board in the shape of a giant check.

“This isn’t a game,” Thompson tells the camera.

Growing up as a reality TV star hasn’t just impacted Thompson’s bank account. The former beauty pageant star said her time in front of the cameras has also impacted her own body image — for better and for worse.

“For the most part, I’m very confident in myself and what I wear. I’m kind of just like, ‘Who gives a damn?’” Thompson, 19, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting Lifetime’s new series I Was Honey Boo Boo. “A lot of people look at bigger girls and they’re like, ‘Oh, they’re not healthy.’ But I feel like healthy bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. I’m completely healthy. I may be a little bit bigger, but I’m completely healthy.”

​​Thompson — whose mom underwent a full body transformation, including a 2015 gastric sleeve — noted that the show contributed to her own issues surrounding body image and a sense of self..

“That was just mainly because my mom was going from not to hot,” Thompson explained to Us. “She was a bigger girl and I’ve always been a bigger girl myself too. And just to see my mom go from 300 pounds to 100 pounds was a shock to me just because it’s like, ‘Am I going to have to do that one day because I’m a bigger girl? [Are] people not going to love me until I get surgery or I’m this thin pretty little girl?’”

She continued, “So it was very hard on me, but after a while I noticed that either way my mom was still getting shown love, so I was like, I mean she’s still getting shown love.”
