Blake Lively Reprises 'Gossip Girl' Character to Reunite Serena and Dorota 

30 June 2025 at 18:53

Spotted in Central Park: Blake Lively and her Gossip Girl costar Zuzanna Szadkowski.

Lively, who played Serena van der Woodsen on the long-running CW series from 2007 to 2012, recruited Szadkowski — best-known for her role as Dorota Kishlovsky — for an ad promoting Lively’s canned cocktail brand, Betty Booze. The clip was shared via YouTube on Monday, June 30, and began with the actresses reuniting on a park bench.

“I have tea,” Szadkowski says, playing on the popular fan theory that Dorota should have been Gossip Girl. (Penn Badgley’s Dan was ultimately revealed as the face behind the voice, instead.)

“Good tea?” Lively replies, to which Szadkowski teases, “The best tea.”

Szadkowski then reveals a can of Betty Booze vodka iced tea along with two tea cups. She pours the beverage into the cups, saying, “It’s crisp. Balanced. Nothing artificial.”

“That’s hard to find around these parts,” Lively, 37, says. 

“Yeah, no kidding,” Szadkowski, 46, quips.

She then touts a second Betty Booze flavor, a passion fruit vodka iced tea, calling the drink “a naughty little bitch.”

“So I’ve heard,” Lively responds.

“I drank it on the walk over,” Szadkowski jokes, to which a smiling Lively gushes, “I have missed you.” 

Lively then gets up to exit, revealing a pair of sweatpants and Ugg boots hiding under her high-fashion outfit. (The moment seemingly references the now-viral season 6 Gossip Girl episode that accidentally showed Lively sporting cozy clothes under her couture dress during a scene.)

As Gossip Girl fans know all too well, Szadkowski portrayed the housekeeper and confidant of Serena’s frenemy, Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester), during the show’s original run. Blair, however, was not mentioned in the ad. 

Ryan Reynolds Says He and Blake Lively Are Born People Pleasers

More than a decade after the series ended, Lively, not Serena, is making headlines. The star is currently embroiled in a bitter legal dispute with Justin Baldoni, her director and costar in the 2024 drama It Ends With Us

Lively sued Baldoni, 41, in December 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment on the set of their film and later orchestrating a smear campaign against her surrounding the film’s premiere. 

Baldoni has denied the allegations and filed a $400 million defamation lawsuit against both Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. Earlier this month, a judge dismissed Baldoni’s suit. Team Baldoni ultimately chose not to file a revised legal motion, instead choosing to focus on Lively’s lawsuit. A trial date for the duo is set for spring 2026. 

“The Court’s decision on the motion to dismiss has no effect whatsoever on the truth that there was no harassment nor any smear campaign, and it does not in any way affect our vigorous defense against Ms. Lively’s claims,” Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Us Weekly in a statement. “Discovery is proceeding and we are confident that we will prevail against these factually baseless accusations. Instead of revising the existing claims, our clients will be pursuing additional legal options that are available to us.”

Lively, for her part, celebrated the legal victory via Her Instagram Story. 

“Last week, I stood proudly alongside 19 organizations united in defending women’s rights to speak up for their safety,” she wrote on June 9. “Like so many others, I’ve felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.”

She added, “I’m more resolved than ever to continue to stand for every woman’s right to have a voice in protecting themselves, including their safety, their integrity, their dignity and their story.”

Below Deck's Barbara Dated Her 'Straight' Ex-Girlfriend for Nearly 2 Years

30 June 2025 at 18:30

Below Deck‘s Barbara Kulaif made a surprising admission about her experience as a gay woman.

During the Monday, June 30, episode of the hit Bravo series, Barbara found herself forming a connection with Jess Theron, sharing in a confessional, “I don’t remember the last time I was with a gay girl. My ex-girlfriend was straight, and we stayed together for a year and a half.”

Barbara said the experience affected how she approached dating.

“I don’t think I want to be the one again waiting for someone’s time,” she noted. “Sometimes you just feel tired to be with someone that is not sure about you. It is nice that Jess is gay. We have a lot in common and I really like her.”

‘Below Deck’ Cast Through the Years: A Guide to Who’s Dated Who

While Barbara seemed excited at her bond with Jess, the sneak peek for next week’s episode hinted at trouble in paradise. Despite Solène Favreau’s hookup with Kyle Stillie, she will start having second thoughts — and that will leads to her getting in between Barbara and Jess’s potential romance.

Season 12 is already off to a strong start after bringing back Kyle, chief steward Fraser Olender, Captain Kerry Titheradge and now alum Chef Anthony Iracane. Joining the crew were new members Chef Lawrence Snowden, bosun Caio Poltronieri, deckhands Jess and Damo and stews Barbara, Rainbeau de Roos and Solène.

Bravo previously released a synopsis that teased the drama awaiting viewers.

“Known for their unique blend of French and Dutch influences and pristine white sand beaches, the three Caribbean territories surround each other making for an unforgettable, island-hopping charter season,” read the April press release. “This season Captain Kerry demands respect from his crew as they navigate tense work dynamics and tangled love triangles on the high seas.”

In the interior, Fraser’s standards “are higher than ever, but his aim for perfection is sabotaged when his stews’ personalities clash. With more than 15 years of culinary experience, Chef Lawrence brings his fine-dining expertise to the galley. However, when the high-stress environment comes head-to-head with his strong faith, Chef Lawrence contends with his place on the boat.”

The exterior team, meanwhile, is led by Caio who “struggles to manage his team, and when gossip spreads that deckhand Kyle potentially crossed the ultimate line with a charter guest, Captain Kerry must make a tough decision.”

'Below Deck' Franchise Couples That Got Together Outside of Their Seasons

According to Fraser, viewers should expect at least one person getting fired, which, based on Monday’s episode, seems to be Caio. “There are firings. There are hirings,” he teased in May. “There are disasters left, right and center. But I cannot tell you enough how dramatic and how fun this season is. It is nonstop.”

He continued: “I was so excited to get into this season. I think I’ve grown so much since I first started out on the show — and you never know what you’re going to get as a crew. But I just wanted to make sure that out of any season, this one is where I wanted to bring my crew to the best of their ability. I wanted harmony and I wanted love and friendship and peace amongst all the madness. I think we succeeded.”

Below Deck airs on Bravo Mondays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Peacock.

Below Deck's Solene Reveals She Was Taken to Emergency Room After a Breakup

30 June 2025 at 17:59

Below Deck‘s Solène Favreau recalled being so emotionally affected by a breakup that she had to be taken to the hospital.

During the Monday, June 30, episode of the hit Bravo series, Solène discussed the “two times” she was in love while on a date with Kyle Stillie.

“It is the best and the worst. That’s why it is love,” she said before elaborating in a confessional. “My first love experience was when I was 22 years old. He left me four times in two years. All that time I was falling in love deeper and deeper. All that time was getting worse and worse.”

Solène shared that her parents had to step in after the breakup.

“My dad took me to the emergency room because I was so sad that I stopped eating,” she noted. “I couldn’t eat. I would prefer that someone broke my finger than break my heart.”

The stew noted that the experience taught her to be “the opposite of selfish,” adding, “Now I live for me.”

While Solène didn’t elaborate on the second time she was in love, Below Deck viewers know she was previously linked to a Below Deck alum. Solène revealed earlier this season that she once dated Dylan Pierre De Villiers, who appeared in season 11.

“We broke up because he was in another country, so [there was] distance. Even after, I still love him and I was very sad,” she told the cameras. “So now that is why I try to keep everything at no risk. Since Dylan, I’ve never been in love again. I am young, free and I’m not looking for a relationship.”

Solène is currently exploring a connection with Kyle, which led to them sleeping together on Monday’s episode. According to the sneak peek for next week’s episode, however, Solène was already doubting how interested she is in Kyle.

Kyle, for his part, is expected to find a connection elsewhere. The season 12 trailer teased that an upcoming charter will cause issues with Kyle potentially hooking up with a guest at the beach in full view of his coworkers.

Captain Kerry Titheradge later confronted Kyle, who wouldn’t confirm whether he slept with a guest whose husband was on board as well.

“There was an investigation done. I’m not too sure how much of that will be shown, but I did a thorough investigation before I made my decision,” Kerry exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “It will be interesting to see what happens after I interviewed each of the crew members — including what was actually said behind [my back].”

'Below Deck' Franchise Couples That Got Together Outside of Their Seasons

Kerry wouldn’t reveal whether Kyle was fired.

“I don’t get to see what’s going on Below Deck because I’m in the wheelhouse or I’m over here and I can’t be everywhere,” he explained. “I don’t micromanage. I allow my crew to grow and I like to be here and to help encourage people. There’s a lot I don’t see and there’s even more I don’t want to see.”

Chief steward Fraser Olender previously told Us that “things were turbulent” already on St. David before Kyle’s possible hookup.

“I’ve done it before, so I can’t speak on [hooking up with a guest]. What is a hard no is on charter and what is a hard no is potentially engaging in something whilst their married significant other is also around,” Fraser teased in May. “It was definitely [the most explosive thing I have been a part of]. Because this situation then was the catalyst of so many other problems. And this really did spiral into something that no one saw coming. So it’s the beginning of the end. It’s so good though.”

Summer House's Imrul Says Being Cut From the Show Felt 'So Disrespectful'

30 June 2025 at 17:19

Imrul Hassan thinks Bravo did him dirty after he was allegedly cut from several Summer House scenes during his one and only season on the show.

“There’s so much that gets filmed and it doesn’t make the edit because there’s so much that we’re filming throughout the season,” Imrul explained during the Friday, June 27, episode of the “Taylor Taylor Taylor Show” podcast.

The season 9 newcomer claimed, “But I’ve never seen — and I’ve talked to some of the people on the show as well — someone just getting edited out of a whole dinner scene.”

Imrul, who was dubbed “Orgy Beast” by his housemates because of his sexual exploits, noted that he “tried to be respectful to the show and the process” and didn’t think much of his edit while filming.

Shocking Reality TV Exits Over the Years

He pointed out that when he appeared on the season 9 reunion in May, he said, “I don’t think I got the worst edit.”

At the time, Imrul took responsibility for how he was portrayed on camera as well. “There was some fault on my own too. I wasn’t as engaging as I wanted to be and whatever,” he added. “Things that happened through the season.”

Once he watched the full season, however, Imrul felt different about his screen time, claiming he was cut entirely from scenes for no reason.

“To have seen that the last few episodes where they just shut me out — you can still see my shadow in some of them — you know and there’s obviously cast photos from the weekend where I’m clearly there, that felt so disrespectful,” Imrul confessed. “I don’t know if I can get over that. It’s definitely messed up.”

He revealed that during the aforementioned dinner scene he was especially hurt because he was “talking about my school that I was super excited about and they cut that out.” (Imrul founded an English school in his home village in Bangladesh last summer and had the “goal” of using the Summer House “platform” to talk about it.)

Which 'Summer House' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Season 10 After Multiple Exits?

While Imrul admitted he had “fun” shooting the show in summer 2024, he claimed Bravo never had a clear path for his story arc.

“It was also a weird season because they had such a strong season with the men the year before, obviously, I had to follow that. They weren’t quite sure what to do with me,” Imrul claimed on the podcast.

He alleged, “One of the calls I got from — the last calls I got from — the producers was, like, ‘Listen, we hate to call somebody part-time you know that’s but like we’re trying to figure out what to do with you.’”

Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.

Throughout season 9 of Summer House, newbie Imrul made a splash for bringing home different girls and never introducing them to his castmates. He was also called “Orgy Beast” because he told the crew about going to sex parties and hooking up with multiple women at one time.

As the season continued, Imrul did share a little about his upbringing and his family, but for the most part it was his sexual exploits that were front and center. During the season 9 reunion, which aired in May, he got real about his nickname and how his family perceived the title.

How Serena Kerrigan and Juliette Porter Were Both Nearly on ‘Summer House’

“I definitely felt like I was pigeonholed a little, but I led with the sex party,” he said of his reputation. “I don’t feel like I’m an orgy beast. I think you have to do more than one [sex party] to be an orgy beast. I’m more of an orgy novice.”

Imrul revealed that his sister-in-law’s family is “religious,” and after seeing his sex life so prominent on the show, he was uninvited to his nephew’s birthday party.

The story took the rest of the cast by surprise, and they admitted they could have done better to ask him non-sex-related questions as well.

Imrul has since announced that he is not returning for a second season of the reality show. “I meant to share this last week, but with everything going on, the timing didn’t feel quite right. I’ve decided not to return for another season of Summer House — I know, shocking!” Imrul wrote via his Instagram Story on June 18. “It was an incredible opportunity, and I truly had a lot of fun.”

He didn’t appear to harbor hard feelings about his run, adding, “I won’t drag this out, but I want to say thank you for all your support — and for supporting my foundation as well. A special shoutout to my castmates for their generous donations and for helping spread the word. Overall, it was a really good experience. Would recommend.”

Imrul’s departure came after fellow season 9 newcomer Lexi Wood announced her exit and after seven-year veteran Paige DeSorbo revealed she would not be back for season 10.

Orlando Bloom Shares Cryptic Message About '1st Step' After Katy Perry Split

30 June 2025 at 17:05

Orlando Bloom started his week with a motivational message following his split from Katy Perry.

“The important thing is to take that first step,” the actor, 48, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, June 30. “Bravely overcoming one small fear gives you the courage to take on the next.”

Bloom credited his musing as “daily encouragement” from Daisaku Ikeda, who was a Buddhist author.

Before sharing Ikeda’s quote, Bloom also posted another inspirational teaching from Buddha.

How Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom Are Coparenting After Their Split

“Each day is a new beginning. What we do today is what matters the most,” the quote read.

Bloom’s positive mantra comes nearly a week after Us Weekly confirmed he and Perry, 40, called off their engagement after nearly a decade together.

“Katy and Orlando have split but are amicable,” a source close to the former couple exclusively told Us at the time. “It’s not contentious at the moment. Katy is of course upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.”

Perry and Bloom dated off and on before getting engaged on Valentine’s Day 2019. The following year, the pair welcomed daughter Daisy Dove in August 2020. (Bloom is also father to 14-year-old son Flynn whom he shares with ex Miranda Kerr.)

According to the insider, Perry and Bloom’s split was “a long time coming” as things between them “have been tense for months.” Bloom and Perry had been apart since the pop star kicked off her Lifetimes tour earlier this year.

Perry has found solace in her work since the breakup, as she’s been “keeping busy” on tour. (The singer is currently in the middle of her tour dates in Australia.)

Bloom, for his part, was recently spotted in Venice, Italy to celebrate Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez’s wedding over the weekend. (Perry is also good friends with Sánchez’ as she joined the journalist on their space expedition earlier this year.)

While Perry and Bloom have been living separate lives, the twosome have been in contact as they’re prioritizing their daughter’s needs.

“They are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together,” the source explained. “Orlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos’ wedding. It’s not messy between them.”

The insider added that Bloom and Perry are not “making drastic changes for Daisy’s sake.”

Orlando Bloom Spotted for 1st Time in Venice After Katy Perry Split

“They will keep their lives in Montecito,” the source added. “They are prioritizing stability and consistency for Daisy.”

Before their split, Bloom spoke candidly about overcoming challenges with Perry over the years.

“I wouldn’t change it for anything, even when sometimes it feels like, ‘How do we do this?’” Bloom said on an April 2024 episode of Trevor Noah’s “What Now?” podcast. “Because we’ve got these two giant careers and lives — and hers is even … it’s like a universe sometimes. But I think I just keep coming back to her and trying to hold her hand and walk her back to the sand pit and be like … we’re just gonna build a sandcastle.”

Nikki Garcia Reveals She's Been on 'A Few Dates' Since Artem Divorce

30 June 2025 at 17:03

Nikki Garcia briefly dipped her toe back into the dating pool after divorcing Artem Chigvintsev — but had a good reason for quickly hitting the pause button.

During the Monday, June 30, episode of their “The Nikki & Brie Show” podcast, Brie Garcia asked her twin sister, 41, and their guest, Charlotte Flair, “Are we dating?” since both women are recently divorced.

“Brie knows this, I did a few,” Nikki said. Brie, 41, chimed in, “Like, you did a few dates?” or, “You did a few men? What are we talking about?”

Nikki rolled her eyes and started to laugh, saying, “Yeah,” she’s been on dates since finalizing her divorce from Chigvintsev, 43, in November 2024. Nikki played coy about her sister’s second question, replying, “OK. Whatever you want to call it.”

Nikki Garcia Reveals Whether She Would Ever Get Married Again

Nikki, who shares 4-year-old son Matteo with Chigvintsev, explained that being a mom has slowed down her desire to date.

“At his age right now I get so much love that I realized this is all the love I need and want right now,” Nikki said. “So after having, like, a few dates and, you know ,[I] wasn’t crazy about [them] that I was like, ‘Ah I’m not even going to waste time and energy, like, I’m just too tired.’”

Flair (real name Ashley Elizabeth Fliehr), who finalized her divorce from Andrade El Idolo in October 2024, revealed that even though she doesn’t have kids she’s not interested in finding romance if the process includes using an app.

“I haven’t been on a dating app since my divorce was final,” she told Nikki and Brie. “I’d rather meet the old-fashioned way.”

Both Nikki and Flair confessed that they are happy with the “dating yourself” philosophy.

“You have to date yourself and you can’t love anything else in life till you love yourself first,” Nikki explained. “And you have to do the work on yourself.”

Brie, who is married to Bryan Danielson, applauded both women, noting that their growth is evident.

“It’s always amazing to me when I see divorces happen and I see the people who glow. The people who seem happier, who are living their best life,” Brie shared. “You both are glowing, and I feel like you both are in your best eras. You guys both look incredible. I see the happiness. I feel it.”

Despite being on board with Nikki and Flair’s single-life eras, Nikki said Brie is always “pushing me more” to date again.

Brie noted that since Nikki and Flair, 39, were recently in New York City for Fanatics Fest they had to have seen handsome men that caught their attention.

“Don’t get me wrong, there were so many good-looking men there,” Nikki said, while Flair played coy about whether anyone piqued her interest.

Nikki met Chigvintsev while partnering on Dancing With the Stars and they began dating in early 2019. The pair secretly got engaged that November and welcomed Matteo in July 2020. Nikki married Chigvintsev in August 2022.

Nikki Garcia and Artem Chigvintsev’s Relationship Timeline

Us Weekly confirmed in September 2024 that Nikki filed for divorce after Chigvintsev was arrested for alleged domestic violence that month. The charges against Chigvintsev were later dropped and he and Nikki finalized their divorce two months later.

Flair, for her part, has been married three times. She and Riki Johnson were married from 2010 to 2013, while the female wrestler was married to Thomas Latimer from 2013 to 2015. Flair began dating wrestler El Idolo (real name Manuel Alfonso Andrade Oropeza) in 2019 and they were engaged the following year.

Flair wed El Idolo in May 2022 and two years later she filed for divorce in June 2024. The divorce was finalized in October of that year.

Mary-Kate Olsen Rocks Dressed-Down Look in Rare Outing

30 June 2025 at 15:59

Mary-Kate Olsen traded her high feels for flip-flops in a recent rare outing.

Olsen, 39, was photographed out in nature while in the Hamptons on Sunday, June 29. She was spotted on a local farm, carrying a canvas tote bag and a paper sack.

The fashion designer rocked an oversized white graphic tee, black sweatpants and sandals. Olsen had her hair down and sported a white baseball cap. She also opted for sunglasses, keeping a low profile.

Mary-Kate and her twin sister, Ashley Olsen, rose to fame as children when they were cast as Michelle Tanner on Full House in 1987. After wrapping up the sitcom, Mary-Kate and Ashley, 39, starred in a series of movies and TV shows.

Despite their success in Hollywood, Mary-Kate and Ashley opted to give up acting to pursue careers in fashion instead. They launched their brands The Row and Elizabeth & James in 2006 and 2007, respectively. (Mary-Kate last acted in 2011, while Ashley’s last on screen appearance was 2004. Neither twin returned for Netflix’s Full House revival, Fuller House.)

Like their acting careers, Mary-Kate and Ashley found success in the fashion industry. However, the women have chosen to stay out of the limelight. Both Mary-Kate and Ashley have kept details of their personal life low-key and make an occasional appearance once in a blue moon.

“We were raised to be discreet people,” Mary-Kate said in a joint interview with i-D magazine published in June 2021.

Ashley added that being able to constantly work with her twin has been enjoyable.

“We like working together, and we like having that dialogue. I think it helps harden your ideas to be able to hear them out loud, to speak something through,” Ashley reflected. “You know, we definitely go by intuition and instinct and it can either confirm that feeling, or if we’re both not feeling right about something, for some reason, we just don’t do it. Our instincts are kind of the same. But I think what’s great is that we have each other to lean on.”

Is Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s Super Expensive Brand The Row Worth It?

 

Since stepping out of the public eye, Mary-Kate has spent the majority of her time in the Hamptons, Los Angeles and Europe. She has not been romantically linked to anyone following her divorce from French banker Olivier Sarkozy in April 2020. (Ashley, for her part, resides in New York with her husband, Louis Eisner, and their son, Otto, who was born in 2023.)

Mary-Kate was last spotted in public this past May. She was snapped walking in the Hamptons while donning a long black peacoat and wide-legged mauve trousers. She carried multiple bags and wore a pair of sunglasses.

'My Oxford Year': Everything to Know About Sofia Carson's New Netflix Film

30 June 2025 at 15:37

Sofia Carson’s newest romantic film, My Oxford Year, looks like it could be the movie of the summer.

The film, based on the novel of the same name by Julia Whelan, follows the charming love story between American Oxford student Anna De La Vega (Carson) and English professor Jamie Davenport (Corey Mylchreest). The chemistry between the characters was undeniable in the trailer released in June 2025, leaving fans excited to see the book brought to life.

“Sophia has really stepped into these roles and absolutely devoured them. I adore her so much I can’t wait to see this,” one person commented after the trailer was released on YouTube.

“Sofia Carson in her Disney era was awesome. But Sofia Carson in her Netflix era is absolutely one hundred percent gold!” a second person remarked.

Us Weekly shares everything to know about the upcoming film, including the cast, premiere date and more.

What Is ‘My Oxford Year’ About?

My Oxford Year depicts the love story of Jamie and Anna, who bond over their shared interest in poetry when she becomes a student at the school. Their romance blossoms as they discover they have similar interests, allowing their connection to flourish as she explores London.

Unfortunately, Anna tells Jamie she has to return home to New York. Unbeknownst to her, Jamie is harboring a big secret of his own — he’s dealing with a life-altering illness — that leaves the pair attempting to navigate their romance in the wake of the heartbreaking news.

Who Is in the ‘My Oxford Year’ Cast?

Carson is no stranger to playing a romantic lead, as she previously starred in the 2022 Netflix drama Purple Hearts. In addition to starring in My Oxford Year, Carson also serves as an executive producer. She explained what went into the decision to cast Mylchreest as her love interest.

“I just thought he was so magnetic and such an exciting actor,” the actress told People in June 2025. “Before he even walked into the room, I knew he would be our Jamie. And that’s exactly what happened. As soon as he walked in and we started reading our first scene together, it was just kind of instant. We just melted into the characters, and it was always that way.”

Many Netflix users likely recognize Mylchreest from his role of King George III in the 2023 series Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story.

“Getting to meet, work, spend time, talk, joke with the cast and crew … they are absolutely crucial to why I think the film is good,” the actor told Tudum by Netflix in June 2025 of the role. “You can expect some laughs, a lot of love, maybe some sadness, a couple of surprises along the way, but [you can expect] to meet two really lovely, very human characters and all of their amazing friends and family. Get ready for a lovely journey.”

Additionally, Dougray Scott was cast as Jamie’s dad, William Davenport; Catherine McCormack was cast as his mom, Antonia Davenport; Harry Trevaldwyn will play Charlie Butler, Hugh Coles signed on to play Ridley, Poppy Gilbert was cast as Cecelia Knowles and Barney Harris landed the role of Ian.

Netflix Released the ‘My Oxford Year’ Trailer

Fans got a glimpse of Jamie and Anna’s relationship in the trailer for My Oxford Year, released in June 2025. In the trailer, Anna joins her fellow students at orientation, where they are told that their time at Oxford is “precious” and they should “seize it.”

Anna is introduced as a new student from New York and meets Jamie, her professor. Another student calls her out for “flirting with the hot professor” on her first day of school. Jamie shows Anna around the city, and they share many passionate moments together.

The trailer then shifts in tone and becomes a bit more somber as Jamie hints at a big secret.

“I have something I really need to discuss with you,” Jamie tells Anna.

“Don’t waste the short time you have left at Oxford on me,” he advises her. “There’s no future here.”

Anna tells Jamie she doesn’t understand why he’s keeping things from her but tells him he doesn’t have to go through it alone.

“This is the messiness of life,” she says. “These are the best bits.”

30 June 2025 at 15:16

Pete Davidson makes sure he and Elsie Hewitt are the most stylish couple.

Davidson, 31, reportedly bought himself and Hewitt, 29, matching Rolex watches while shopping at Gerald Peters Watch & Jewelry in Staten Island, New York, on Friday, June 27, per Page Six.

A dazzling Rolex Datejust 41 featuring a rose gold face, diamond details and silver band caught Davidson’s eye, which retails for $18,550. Davidson beamed while trying on matching versions of the watch with Hewitt. The Saturday Night Live alum, for his part, styled the band with a charcoal crewneck and dark baseball cap. Hewitt also opted for an off-duty look, rocking a gray sweatshirt, blue jeans and a black scrunchie in her hair.

Davidson reportedly surprised Hewitt with her matching watch, the Rolex Datejust 31 mm, which retails for $12,400. The watches set Davidson back a total of $30,900.

This isn’t the first time the couple, who started dating in March, twinned. Last month, Hewitt shared via Instagram an adorable snap of them matching in Nike Air Jordan sneakers. In the pic, they put their feet together, showing off their exact same shoes.

The duo again opted to coordinate with each other in May while cheering on the New York Knicks as they defeated the Phoenix Suns at Madison Square Garden. Ahead of the game, they were seen holding hands while rocking leather jackets.

Davidson, for his part, looked his best in a black design, which he teamed with a gray Knicks sweatshirt equipped with a blue hood and light wash jeans. He completed his look with Dr. Martens boots.

Suspect Arrested in Livestream Murder of Influencer Jesus Sarmiento: Report

30 June 2025 at 15:12

A suspect has reportedly been arrested in the murder of TikTok influencer Jesús Sarmiento, who was shot and killed while livestreaming after he denounced members of the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.

Venezuelan police arrested Pierina Uribarri, who was described as the partner of the alleged gunman, Adrian Romero, Attorney General Tarek William Saab announced via Instagram on Sunday, June 30, according to CBS News.

Uribarri was charged with intentional homicide, criminal association and terrorism.

Arrest warrants have also been issued for Romero and two other alleged accomplices, Wilbert Gonzalez and Gerald Nieto, CBS News reported.

Colombian Influencer Maria Jose Estupinan, 22, Shot Dead

Sarmiento, 25, was allegedly killed by two gunmen in his home in Maracay, Venezuela, on June 22 while he was in the middle of a TikTok livestream, according to multiple local news outlets. Before his death was captured on camera, a woman could be heard screaming and banging on a door. Sarmiento was also seen asking the Bolivarian National Intelligence Service for help.

After the shooting, Sarmiento could reportedly be heard saying, “They shot me, they shot me,” as blood appeared on the floor. Two armed men were reportedly visible in the livestream.

The woman, who was later identified as Sarmiento’s mother, was wounded in the abdomen, according to El País, which cited local outlets.

The incident came after Sarmiento “had publicly denounced the threats he received from members of GEDOs [organized criminal groups] and alleged police officers,” the attorney general said in a June 23 Instagram post confirming that an investigation into the influencer’s death was underway.

In recent videos on his TikTok account, where he had more than 77,000 followers, Sarmiento spoke about Tren de Aragua’s leader, Hector Rusthenford Guerrero, who is one of the most wanted criminals in Venezuela. He also spoke out against extortion by corrupt law enforcement and shared photos and videos of alleged gang members.

The White House designated Tren de Aragua a “terrorist organization,” with U.S. officials calling the gang a “regime-sponsored, narco-terrorism enterprise based in Venezuela” that has committed “brutal crimes, including murders, kidnappings, extortions, and human, drug, and weapons trafficking.”

Tattoo Beauty Influencer Stabbed by Boyfriend on Livestream After Breakup

Sarmiento’s death is the latest in a chilling string of attacks on social media personalities in recent months.

Earlier in June, 17-year-old Sana Yousaf was shot and killed in her home in Islamabad, Pakistan, by a man who had repeatedly tried to contact her via her social media. She had more than 1 million followers on TikTok. A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of murder, according to local police.

In May, 23-year-old influencer Valeria Marquez was reportedly shot and killed while livestreaming inside a beauty salon in Jalisco, Mexico. Marquez, whom authorities said was an “active presence and influence on social media,” was pronounced dead at the scene. Prosecutors opened an investigation for “femicide,” as it was presumed to be a gender-related murder.

James Cameron Says Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Was 'Moral Cop Out'

30 June 2025 at 15:09

After Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer broke records at the box office, James Cameron is working on a nuclear war film of his own — and he’s taking a different approach.

While discussing his plan to direct a film about the atomic bomb based on Charles Pellegrino’s upcoming book, Ghosts of Hiroshima, Cameron, 70, said he was surprised by some of Nolan’s decisions regarding scenes that were not explored in Oppenheimer.

“Yeah … it’s interesting what he stayed away from,” Cameron told Deadline on Friday, June 27, when asked if he was shocked by Oppenheimer’s global success and Oscar wins despite not touching on the stories of those who were affected by the atomic bombs. “Look, I love the filmmaking, but I did feel that it was a bit of a moral cop out.”

He continued, “Because it’s not like Oppenheimer didn’t know the effects. He’s got one brief scene in the film where we see — and I don’t like to criticize another filmmaker’s film — but there’s only one brief moment where he sees some charred bodies in the audience and then the film goes on to show how it deeply moved him. But I felt that it dodged the subject. I don’t know whether the studio or Chris felt that that was a third rail that they didn’t want to touch, but I want to go straight at the third rail. I’m just stupid that way.”

Cillian Murphy’s Wildest Quotes About Playing Oppenheimer

Oppenheimer starred Cillian Murphy as J. Robert Oppenheimer, who assembled a team of scientists and physicists to develop an atomic bomb during World War II and conduct the Trinity test, the world’s first nuclear explosion. President Harry S. Truman called for the detonation of two bombs over the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the test was successful. The August 6, 1945, and August 9, 1945, bombings killed hundreds of thousands of people, including those who experienced health issues from the radiation.

After Oppenheimer’s release, Nolan, 54, was criticized for choosing not to show the impact the atomic bombs had on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. He defended the decision to focus on the life of Oppenheimer instead of the lives of those his nuclear weapons impacted.

“The film presents Oppenheimer’s experience subjectively,” Nolan told Variety in November 2023. “It was always my intention to rigidly stick to that. Oppenheimer heard about the bombing at the same time that the rest of the world did. I wanted to show somebody who is starting to gain a clearer picture of the unintended consequences of his actions. It was as much about what I don’t show as what I show.”

Why Matt Damon Called Cillian Murphy the 'Worst Dinner Companion'

Cameron said that he will “put up” his hand to be the one who tells the story of those who were impacted by nuclear warfare.

“I’ll do it, Chris. No problem. You come to my premiere and say nice things … I can’t tell you today what’s going to be in the movie,” he said. “I’ve been making notes for 15 years and I haven’t written a word of the script yet because there’s a point where it’s all there and then you start to write. That’s how I always work. I explore around, I remember the things that impact me. I start to assemble ’em into a narrative. And then there’s a moment where you’re ready to write. And I’m not in that head space right now.”

How Lily Phillips Is Feeling After Sex With 1113 Men in 12 Hours

30 June 2025 at 15:06

Adult content creator Lily Phillips is blowing her previous record out of the water by claiming to sleep with 1,113 men in 12 hours.

“For those of you who have followed me for quite some time now will understand that I’ve been wanting to do a certain world-record,” Phillips, 23, said in a Monday, June 30, Instagram video. “Now, I’m very happy to announce that yesterday I did just that. I did 1,113 men in 12 hours.”

Fellow creator Bonnie Blue claimed in January to have broken the world record of sleeping with 1,057 men in 12 hours — a number Phillips alleged to have beaten by 56.

Phillips noted in her video that it was going to take her “a little bit of time” to edit and upload the content, which will be shared via her Fansly. Blue just transitioned to this platform after allegedly receiving a ban from OnlyFans. (When rumors circulated about her ban, an OnlyFans spokesperson told Us Weekly that “extreme ‘challenge’ content is not available” and “is not permitted” under their acceptable use policy and terms of service.)

“Yesterday I was with 1,113 men in just 12 hours,” Phillips said in a separate Instagram video on Monday. “And today, I’m feeling surprisingly good. I mean, I do feel achy but technically I did do physical exercise for 12 hours straight so that kind of makes sense.”

Phillips initially tried her hand at the “competitive sex” trend in December 2024, when she slept with 100 men in one day. While reflecting on the experience afterward, Phillips became emotional and explained that it was more difficult than she thought it was going to be.

Everything Lily Phillips Has Said About OnlyFans Career, Sex Challenges

“It’s not for the weak. If I’m honest, it was hard,” Phillips said in her YouTube documentary at the time. “I don’t know if I’d recommend it. Just one in and one out, it feels intense.”

She continued, “I’d have to stop them early and you’d have to stand on business [and say,] ‘I’m so sorry you got to go’ and the awkward interaction of you feeling pressure to [satisfy them]. Or if you hadn’t spent enough time with them, feeling like you didn’t give them a good time because they only got two minutes.”

Phillips noted that she had bigger plans in the works for herself. “I want to be the first person to be with 1,000 guys in one day,” Phillips told the Daily Mail in December 2024. “I’m quite excited. Obviously, it’s stressful with all the logistics and things, but it’s not daunting.”

Aryna Sabalenka Praises Boyfriend for Being Her ‘Support’ System on the Road

30 June 2025 at 14:57

Tennis superstar Aryna Sabalenka admits life as a professional athlete isn’t always easy — but having her boyfriend, Georgios Frangulis, by her side creates a sense of calm amid the chaos. 

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Sabalenka, 27, gushed about Frangulis, who the No. 1 women’s tennis player in the world has been dating since last year. 

“His support means so much to me,” Sabalenka, who was recently named a global ambassador for David Beckham’s supplement brand IM8 Health, told Us. “Being on the road and having him support me, to make me laugh and to be able to workout together, makes life on the road feel more like home.”

Frangulis made the trip to London with Sabalenka for this year’s Wimbledon tournament, which saw Sabalenka kick things off with a 6-1, 7-5 first round victory over Carson Branstine on Monday, June 30.

Last week in London, Sabalenka was introduced as an IM8 Health global ambassador with a celebratory event ahead of Wimbledon.

“Traveling is hard on most people, athletes or not,” Sabalenka explained. “The time changes, the changes in eating habits and lack of hydration makes feeling your best difficult. As an athlete this is even more important as our performance needs to be at its best and we travel often. I discovered IM8 from my trainer and it really became a game changer for me.”

Sabalenka also gushed about the opportunity to get involved with Beckham, who is a fixture at the All-England Club throughout Wimbledon.

“It’s so special and a dream for any athlete,” she said of the collaboration. “Beckham is an icon and having his support means so much. I’m so lucky to get to work with him on IM8. His success in sports definitely carries over into the business.”

Sabalenka, a three-time major champion, said Frangulis, the founder of superfood brand Oakberry, is a perfect fit for the inner circle she surrounds herself with while traveling. 

“My team and I like to have a lot of fun together,” Sabalenka explained. “We’re always doing crazy things and never taking ourselves too seriously.”

To help get her there, Sabalenka can rely on IM8 Health, an all-in-one daily supplement made up of 92 nutrient-rich ingredients, developed by experts from Mayo Clinic and NASA.

Stuntwoman Suing Kevin Costner Reveals Alleged Harassment in Court Plea

30 June 2025 at 14:57

The stuntwoman suing Kevin Costner over an alleged “unscripted rape” scene revealed she has experienced backlash and “online harassment” and fears it could turn worse, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

On June 26, Devyn LaBella told the court she had accidentally filed documents with sensitive personal information in the case. She asked that it be redacted immediately to prevent potential harm.

Her attorney explained, “This case involves a Hollywood production company and a well-known actor and director, which has already garnered significant public attention and backlash.”

“Following the filing of this lawsuit, [LaBella] has experienced an onslaught of online harassment,” her lawyer wrote. “Having her private, personal identifying information publicly available … will unnecessarily contribute even further to the harassment she is facing.”

The motion added, “Additionally, her address being public puts her at risk of being harassed at her home.”

As Us first reported, LaBella filed an amended lawsuit against Costner, 70, and Territory Pictures on June 18 over an incident on set of the big-budget Western film Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 2.

In her suit, LaBella said she arrived on set on May 2, 2023. She said she was asked to stand in for actress Ella Hunt in a scene that involved actor Roger Ivens.

Costner, who directed the film, was present on the day in question but LaBella alleged there was no intimacy coordinator. She claimed she had to film an “unscheduled rape scene.”

LaBella’s suit claimed nobody warned her or told her that Ivens would “perform or engage in any action on top of her and first learned that Ivens would mount her and violently pull her skirt up when he was already on top of her doing so.”

Kevin Costner Is Taking a 'Massive Gamble' With 'Horizon' After Divorce

“As directed by Costner, this unscripted, unrehearsed scene consisted of [Ivens] mounting [LaBella] while miming the unbuttoning of his pants, and using his body and arms to forcibly pin down [LaBella], who was on her back underneath him. [Ivens] violently rustled [LaBella’s] skirt up as if trying to penetrate her against her will and he was directed to pin her legs open with his knee,” the suit read.

The stunt performer said she complained to the intimacy coordinator, who wrote up an alleged incident report. She said it was “awkward” on set but she finished the rest of the production.

LaBella noted that she was not asked to return for Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 3, which started filming in early 2024.

Costner, who has yet to file an official response in court, responded to the suit via his lawyer Marty Singer.

Singer claimed the suit had “no merit.” He told Daily Mail that there was “no intimacy or anything sexual” in the scene in question.

The actor’s attorney added, “Kevin Costner always wants to make sure that everyone is comfortable working on his films and takes safety on set very seriously.”

He said that her claims were “completely contradicted by her own actions and the facts.”

Kevin Costner Breaks Silence on ‘Bulls–t’ Rumors About ‘Yellowstone’ Drama

Singer added, “She continued to work on the movie for a few more weeks until her wrap date, and she took the stunt coordinator to a thank-you dinner.”

LaBella spoke to the Daily Mail in response to the actor’s claims.

“I was told to lie down, and without warning or rehearsal, another actor was brought in to simulate a rape on top of me. My undergarments were exposed. I was left alone afterward, overwhelmed and in shock. Compliance under pressure is not consent. Consent cannot be given after the harm has already begun,” she said.

LaBella added, “Once the line is crossed, there is no real choice left to make. I spoke up immediately. And for that, I was met with silence, deflection, and efforts to discredit me.”

“I don’t know what Noelle wants to do yet. It’s totally her decision,” Bailey explained. “It’s her choice. She’s been watching it. I’ve just been like, ‘Keep watching it and see how you feel about it.’”

While Next Gen LA is seemingly in the works, fans are enjoying Next Gen NYC, which follows some Real Housewives kids living and working in New York City.

Last week, Next Gen NYC star Gia, 24, the daughter of Teresa Giudice, made headlines when there were rumors that she was fired by Bravo due to allegedly being involved in a cheating scandal at her college university.

“I feel like something big that has been talked about so much is one, me being fired from Bravo and two, me having this crazy Rutgers plagiarism scandal,” Gia said on a Thursday, June 26, episode of of her “Casual Chaos” podcast, noting that it is “not true” that she got fired. “I am very much still working with Bravo. I know that is a shock, a heartbreak to all of you.”

“Very weird. Sorry to break it to you, but news is not real,” she said. “I am still with Bravo. Sorry you will be seeing me on your TV screens.”

Theresa’s daughter went on to say that it’s also “not true” that she had plagiarized at Rutgers.

“If I was involved in some crazy plagiarism scandal, one, I would’ve failed the class. Two, I probably wouldn’t have graduated,” she revealed. “Rutgers takes cheating and plagiarism very seriously.”

Olivia Munn Says Fans’ Negative Comments Caused Her to Pull Out Her Lashes

30 June 2025 at 14:43

Olivia Munn got candid about what kickstarted her trichotillomania.

Munn, 44, opened up about experiencing the disorder, which causes people to pull out body hair, during a Monday, June 30, episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast. In the clip, host Dax Shepard brought up the first time he met Munn at a party, causing the actress to reveal she had been dealing with trichotillomania and pulling out her eyelashes at the time.

“Trichotillomania [is] specifically people pulling hair, so it could be hair at the top of your head,” Munn explained. “For me, I’ll feel like, ‘Oh this eyelash feels like it’s gonna come out,’ and when you pull it, there’s a second of pain and there’s a satisfaction and then immediate regret,” she added.

Munn shared the first time she felt the urge to pull at her lashes was when a picture of herself made it into a tabloid and fans poked fun at her.

Olivia Munn Reveals How She Hid Mastectomy Scars Amid Breast Cancer Battle

“I was going to a very small event … I asked a [costume shop] what is the ugliest dress you have and they found this blue prom dress with pom pops on the side,” she explained. She claimed she was playfully trying to make it into the “worst dressed list” of the evening.

“Then I did and I couldn’t believe it worked,” she quipped, noting she was dating Chris Pine at the time. “I left Chris’ apartment and there were paparazzi outside his house and I was carrying this little wallet and they caught photos of me. I did the horrible thing which was to read the comments.”

“That began my trichotillomania,” Munn added. She did not share if she still struggles with the disorder.

Olivia Munn Was Left ‘Devastated’ After Double Mastectomy: ‘I Cried’

Munn has been open about her health in the past and announced in March 2024 that she underwent a double mastectomy to treat her breast cancer diagnosis. She later showed off her scars in a Skims ad in October 2024.

“When I look at the scars or how my breasts look different or how clothes fit on me differently, I feel a lot of gratitude,” she said at the time. “The way my body looks is just a representation of how hard I fought.”

YouTuber Mikayla Raines’ Mom Reveals How Alleged Bullying 'Broke Her'

30 June 2025 at 14:31

Late animal rescue YouTuber Mikayla Raines’ mom, Sandi Raines, spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about her late daughter’s final days, how online bullying affected her and her family’s plans to keep her fox rescue running.

Sandi explained that Mikayla loved animals since she was young and always had a special connection with them. Sandi said Mikayla had a bunch of animals growing up.

“She just adored animals … and there are just so many occasions where … I mean, there was a wild deer in our side yard [when she was younger], she was talking to [it], and [its] ears were going up and stood right there while she walked up to it,” Sandi told Us on Friday, June 27. “I just knew from [then].”

Sandi explained, “I became a wildlife rehab worker for the state of Minnesota, so she grew up bottle feeding every kind of animal you can [name] – from squirrels to foxes to just [about] everything. [I think] she was … about 15 when we got a wild fox.”

She added, “And I mean it was a little fox. It had to be bottle fed and [Mikayla] bottle fed that wild fox.”

Sandi added, “[Mikayla] got that little fox to potty on a potty pattern — oh my gosh, she just loved that fox.”

She told Us that she Mikayla wanted to keep the fox, but even at her young age, she understood the goal of wildlife recovery was to eventually release the animals.

She said although Mikayla released the fox, it kept coming back. “We would let it out at night and it would come back about an hour later and scratch on the door and go on the potty pad and then leave again.”

Sandi told Us that she realized Mikayla was put on earth by God to help his creatures.

“I thought [she] would be here a little longer, but her mental issues were … They started when she was just very, very young,” Sandi explained.

Sandi said her daughter suffered from depression, anxiety and was diagnosed with autism.

During the conversation, Sandi said her daughter’s mental health issues made it hard for her to make friends. She said kids often picked on her daughter.

She told Us that Mikalya’s husband, Ethan Frankamp, planned to keep her fox rescue sanctuary alive. She explained that her daughter had recently rescued 500 foxes and rehomed 400 of them. Sandi said Mikayla was focused on finding homes for the remaining 100 in her final days.

“She was just beating herself up that she couldn’t find homes for the last hundred; it wasn’t quite fast enough. She was still finding them, but not as fast as she found the other ones. She was beating herself up about that,” she explained.

Sandi said Mikayla also faced intense bullying online, which started about four years ago on Reddit and Tumblr.

She said the harassment intensified after the old posts were reposted a couple of weeks before Mikayla’s death. Sandi said the recent bullying was what “broke her” and that it “put her over the edge.”

‘Teen Mom’ Star Amber Portwood’s Ups and Downs With Daughter Leah

Sandi said her daughter found out some of the posts were made by one of the other sanctuaries that she had actually been helping, and she considered that person a friend of hers, that’s when it really started wearing on her.

She said it put her on edge “a couple nights before she was at my house” and asked her mom why her supposed friends were saying false things online.

Sandi said her daughter never cared about the online fame and only wanted to save animals.

She told Us that the people were making “complete lies” online about Mikalya. She said they falsely claimed her daughter was an animal hoarder and claimed she should not have any animals.

Sandi said they claimed her daughter was killing off animals. She told Us that Mikayla did have online supporters who defended her against the claims.

She said she knew the identities of some of the people, but the others were unknown.

Sandi said Mikayla had made attempts to take her life in the past and had been hospitalized numerous times: “Nobody could ever figure out the right medication — either it made her so tired she could hardly move or it would make her so full of anxiety.”

She told Us that the celebration of life will take place on July 12 at the rescue. More information on about tickets to the event are available on SaveAFox’s website and social media.

As Us previously reported, on June 23, Mikayla’s husband, Ethan, announced the tragic news of Mikayla’s death at 29 years old via a YouTube video.

He told followers of the SaveAFox Rescue that Mikayla had been dealing with false claims about her being spread online, including attacks from rival sanctuaries.

Ethan said Mikayla was “sensitive” and “took it all to heart.” He said that she had autism and also suffered from depression and borderline personality disorder.

He told followers that his wife “ended her life” a couple of days before his announcement.

“She couldn’t bear what she was feeling any longer, and she ended her life,” Ethan said. “It breaks my heart that someone who is selfless and devoted her life to animals could have so much negativity pointed at her.”

Ethan and Mikayla shared a daughter, Freya.

Emma Stone just showed Us that the old Hollywood aesthetic can go far beyond just the red carpet. With the right silhouette, fabric and design details, you can incorporate the era’s glamour into your everyday style. The proof? Stone’s cream satin maxi skirt — and we found an affordable version that nails the look.

On June 26, the La La Land actress was spotted in Los Angeles heading to an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. She stunned in an outfit that channeled classic Hollywood allure with a black short-sleeve top, oversized oval sunglasses, strappy sandals and a sleek pixie hairdo. But the real star? That buttery satin maxi, which melds together a modern design and a vintage-inspired feel. We tracked down this $34 lookalike — and it looks almost identical.
