The newly rebranded HBO Max is delivering the goods in June. One of its best May titles, Mountainhead, is popular on the streamer, and the return of And Just Like That is already lighting up social media. (Rosie O’ Donnell as a virgin lesbian nun who sings songs from Wicked? Now that’s must-see TV!)

In addition to those high-profile premieres, the streamer has an impressive library of underrated movies that are waiting to be discovered.

Watch With Us has selected three movies that are underappreciated and worthy of your time and attention this weekend. The below list includes a romantic drama (not a rom-com!), an exotic thriller set in Hawaii and a creepy horror movie starring a two-time Oscar winner.

‘The Sunlit Night’ (2019)

Frances’ (Jenny Slate) life is a mess. She broke up with her boyfriend, her parents are getting divorced and she just lost a job as a resident artist in Tokyo. Desperate, she accepts a last-minute job helping a Norwegian painter in Oslo. But Frances soon finds herself overwhelmed by her new occupation and being a foreigner in a land where the sun is out almost all the time. Her only salvation lies in her art and Yasha (Alex Sharpe), a young Russian who is grieving his father’s recent death. Will Frances and Yasha’s unlikely romance be enough to pull them out of the doldrums?

Fans of Eat, Pray, Love and Normal People will like The Sunlit Night, which deals with similar themes and has a protagonist who is trying to find her place in the world. The movie’s unusual location makes it stand out from other rom-coms (how many are set in the heart of Scandinavia?), and Slate kills it as Frances, who isn’t as likable and predictable as your average Sandra Bullock heroine. The Sunlit Night barely got a release, but it deserves to be rediscovered now that it’s on HBO Max this month.

‘A Perfect Getaway’ (2009)

Cliff and Cydney (Steve Zahn and Milla Jovovich) just got married, and so far their honeymoon in Hawaii has been a dream. But their idyll is shattered after two bodies are discovered nearby, with the prime suspects being an unidentified male and female couple.

Soon, Cliff and Cydney meet two other couples: Nick (Timothy Olyphant) and Gina (Kiele Sanchez), and Kale (Chris Hemsworth) and Cleo (Marley Shelton). Is one of the pair the killers everyone is looking for? And if so, how can Cliff and Cydney notify the authorities in time before they become the next victims?

A Perfect Getaway is a deceptively good thriller that keeps delivering one surprise after another. The writer-director, David Twohy, knows his way around a twist-filled narrative (he was the architect behind Pitch Black and Below), and he works similar magic in this movie. Each role is perfectly cast, with Zahn standing out as an everyman whose vacation turns into a bloody fight for survival.

A Perfect Getaway is streaming on HBO Max.

‘Backtrack’ (2016)

Before Adrien Brody won his second Oscar for The Brutalist in 2025, he started in a lot of, well, crap. And while Backtrack isn’t nearly as great as that Brady Corbet-directed drama, it’s effective enough for you to give it a look this weekend.

Brody plays Dr. Peter Bower, a psychotherapist still grieving the recent death of his young daughter, Evie. One day at his office, he’s visited by a mute female child named Elizabeth Valentine (Chloe Bayliss), who leaves her initials on a piece of paper before leaving. Peter soon discovers the girl died in 1987 and that her initials, E.V., sound like Evie’s name. Why is Peter being haunted by Elizabeth? And why is it linked to the train tracks that rest just outside Peter’s office?

Backtrack is an average ghost thriller that is better at evoking a sinister mood than telling a logical storyline. The movie’s frequent flights of fancy are forgiven, though, by Brody, who invests as much emotion here as he does in his Oscar-winning movies. The actor makes you feel Peter’s pain and confusion as he struggles to deal with a supernatural problem his scientific mind can’t fully comprehend.

Backtrack is streaming on HBO Max.

The celebrities were out and about in their best swimwear this past weekend for Miami Swim Week. Among them was Bethenny Frankel, who walked in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show alongside Stassi Schroeder, Jordan Chiles, Alix Earle and other famous faces. Before hitting the runway, the The Real Housewives of New York City alum revealed what products helped get her ready, which included L’Oréal True Match Lumi Glotion.

The magic of the Lumi Glotion is that it can be used on the face and body. It works as a primer, highlighter, contour or tinted moisturizer — by itself, under makeup or over makeup. Basically, it gives you a stunning natural glow anywhere you need it while providing moisturizer-like hydration.

“I can’t think of a better product for that day-of glow. Lumi Glotion is always in my rotation. It gives the perfect shimmer without the mess — honestly, it’s the least risky when it comes to staining,” Frankel says in a statement released to Us Weekly.

Naomi Watts Says This Hydrating, Head-to-Toe Body Oil ‘Keeps Skin Glowing’ in Menopause

Frankel isn’t lying when she says that the Lumi Glotion is in her regular rotation. She took to TikTok in April 2024 to show how the product is ideal for no-makeup days. “This is an amazing, hydrating skincare product that has a tint in it,” Frankel said. And last month, she took to TikTok again to show how she used a kabuki brush to apply the glow lotion before a night out.

While she uses the medium shade, it’s also available in fair, light, deep and rich. The reasonable $17 price tag is a nice added bonus.

Frankel isn’t the only one who has discovered the power of this L’Oréal find. Over 33,000 shoppers on Amazon alone have given this product five stars. “I love how easy and smooth this applies,” one five-star reviewer said. “It’s not greasy or thick, it’s the perfect glow for all over your face. I only use a moisturizer and blend this on top. It lasts all day and you only need a small amount to cover your face and neck. It covers my uneven coloring and looks refreshing with a little shimmer.”

Though Frankel’s secret to finding the fountain of youth is still a mystery, this $17 glow enhancer is close enough (for now).

Emma Roberts Achieves Dewy Skin with This $20 Facial Spray

It appears Bravo isn’t buying into any more Sold on SLC.

The Salt Lake City-based real estate show has been canceled after one season, according to cast member Malaysia Fua, who shared a lengthy tribute to the short-lived series via Instagram on Thursday, June 5.

“While we won’t be getting a season two, I know this show gave me exactly what I needed — a voice,” Fua wrote. “It helped me step into who I am, fully and unapologetically & I believe that was the purpose all along. This chapter is closing, but I’m excited for what the future holds because I know I’m walking into it as more of myself than ever before.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment.

Elsewhere in her post, Fua — who is married to former NFL linebacker Alani Fua — thanked the cast, crew and production team behind the show, calling it a “wild ride.”

“Putting yourself out there is scary. People will form opinions, some without knowing the full story. But this show gave me the chance to show up authentically and to trust myself,” Fua wrote. “It taught me that there will always be people who root for you & and some who don’t. But the key is to focus on the positivity, lead with honesty, and stand by your truth… no matter the backlash. Because in the end, truth rises & love always wins.”

While the show won’t be getting a second season, Fua said, “I especially hoped to share more of my real life as a working mom of four.. we filmed so much of that, but most of it didn’t make it to air. So I really hope to share more of that part of my story here. The chaos, the beauty, the reality of it all.”

Sold on SLC followed the work drama of Presidio Real Estate CEO Jennifer Yeo and her team of Utah-based estate agents. The cast also included Tyna Edwards, Matt Jones, Sarah Martindale and Kenny Sperry.

Amazon shoppers are more than willing to spill the tea on these elevated trousers. “I so want to gatekeep these pants but it just doesn’t feel right because they are that great,” one shopper shared.

“So comfortable,” another reviewer said. “Fit great and are actually slimming.”

JoJo Siwa is sharing more details about her newfound romance with Celebrity Big Brother UK castmate Chris Hughes.

“It’s a beautiful journey,” Siwa, 22, said on the Friday, June 6, episode of the “Rosebud With Gyles Brandreth” podcast. “I don’t know how the universe [aligned] for Chris to come into my life.”

Siwa and Hughes, 32, met on the U.K. reality show in April and quickly forged a strong bond in the Big Brother house. At the time, she recalled, “I wasn’t looking to fall for him. He wasn’t looking to fall for me. We just were having so much fun together.”

“We were having a laugh together. Whenever one of us was down. It was the other one of us that helped,” she added.

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes' Relationship Timeline: From Friends to Romance

It wasn’t until after she left the Big Brother house and broke up with ex-partner Kath Ebbs that Siwa realized her feelings for Hughes may be more than just platonic.

After leaving the reality show, Siwa said, “I knew all these realizations [about] my life … things that I wasn’t happy and things that I was being OK with that I should never have been OK with.”

Siwa said that “over a little bit of time, I realized that I started to feel something for Christopher that I never intended to, but I couldn’t not feel.”

Thankfully, Hughes felt the same way and the new couple recently went public with their relationship.

“The word serendipity is Christopher and I’s favorite word now,” Siwa told host Gyles Brandreth. “If you read the definition of it, it’s essentially finding love when you’re least looking for it.”

Siwa said she and Hughes came across their new favorite word while watching the U.K. version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

“The answer to the winning question was serendipity. And somebody replied and said [to Hughes], ‘Do you know what serendipity is? It’s literally you and JoJo.’ And we Googled it and both of us freaked out because we were like, that’s crazy that that was the million-dollar question answer. And that is exactly what we’ve really struggled to explain.”

The Dance Moms alum first confirmed her relationship with Hughes during a Monday, June 2, interview after Hughes shared a selfie of them in bed together the previous day.

“It’s not platonic anymore, and it’s been a beautiful development, a beautiful connection, and I’m absolutely head over heels for him and he’s the same way,” Siwa said in an interview with The Guardian published on Monday, June 2.

Sci-fi fans should be very happy with their streaming options in June. It isn’t every month that two well-made science fiction flicks go straight-to-streaming!

This month, Netflix and Hulu are hosting two very different animated sci-fi movies.

Meanwhile, Max is the streaming home for one of 2025’s sleeper sci-fi hits. And that film may go down as a cult classic in the genre.

Keep reading for the Watch With Us team’s picks for the three underrated sci-fi movies you should watch in June 2025.

7 Must-Watch Sci-Fi Movies on HBO and Max Right Now (May 2025)

‘Predator: Killer of Killers’ (2025)

Have you ever wanted to see a Predator fight a ninja or a samurai? If so, you’re in luck. Hulu is debuting a new Predator animated anthology film called Predator: Killer of Killers. One of the stories included in the movie will feature the first-known instance of a Predator visiting Japan. And let’s just say he’s not there to play tourist.

Dan Trachtenberg — the director of Hulu’s Predator prequel, Prey — co-directed this film with Joshua Wassung from a script co-written by Trachtenberg and Micho Robert Rutare. While it’s unlikely that this movie will feature any callbacks to the 1987 Predator starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, the other stories include a Predator going up against Vikings and a Predator arriving on Earth in the middle of World War II.

Predator: Killer of Killers will stream on Hulu on June 6.

‘Lost in Starlight’ (2025)

Lost in Starlight is a gorgeously rendered Korean anime film that leans more towards romance than sci-fi. But the way it envisions the near-future world of Korea may remind you of Blade Runner. Nan-young (Kim Tae-ri) has been dreaming about becoming an astronaut her entire life to connect with her late mother, a pioneering astronaut who died during humanity’s first attempt to reach Mars.

Nan-young finally finds someone to emotionally connect with when she meets Jay (Hong Kyung), a throwback kind of guy who appreciates the older analog tech that’s barely in their lives. Romance, it turns out, is pretty easy between kindred spirits. The only tension that arises between them is when Nan-young is selected for the next mission to Mars, and Jay worries that she may not make it back home to him.

Lost in Starlight is streaming on Netflix.

‘Companion’ (2025)

Companion is the love story of Iris (Sophie Thatcher) and Josh (Jack Quaid). Josh is everything to Iris, and he means the world to her. They’ve done all of the rom-com things together, like walking in the park and chilling out in front of the TV. But the one revelation that might kill their relationship is that Iris isn’t real. She’s an advanced AI android who can convincingly mimic human behavior.

What’s New on Hulu in June 2025

All relationships have their ups and downs, but the news about Iris’ true nature makes her question whether she and Josh were ever really in love at all. Breakups can be hard, but this one might be lethal.

Companion is streaming on Max.

Everything Worth Buying from Nordstrom's New Releases (So Far)

It turns out that MomTok can survive this: The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Jessi and Jordan Ngatikaura are looking all loved-up in a new TikTok video amid Marciano Brunette’s claims that he had an affair with the hairstylist.

Jordan shared a sweet lip-synch video with his wife on Thursday, June 5, that appeared to dispel rumors of trouble in paradise.

In the video, Jordan can be seen looking at a restaurant menu and lip-synching along to Chris Young’s “Gettin’ You Home.”

“I don’t need this menu … I already know just what I want,” Jordan mouths as the camera pans to a smiling Jessi, 32, sitting opposite him and blowing her man a kiss.

She wasn’t on the menu… but she’s the only thing I’m ordering @justjessi

♬ Gettin’ You Home – Chris Young

“She wasn’t on the menu… but she’s the only thing I’m ordering ,” Jordan captioned the video, tagging Jessi.

The sweet display of affection comes after last month’s bombshell cliffhanger to The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 2, which featured Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano alleging that he had an affair with Jessi.

During a conversation with Layla Taylor in the finale, Marciano, who previously hinted that something had happened between him and Demi Engemann, said that there was truth to online speculation that he and Jessi had made out at TomTom in Los Angeles.

“It is not even just about Demi. It’s a rumor — that wasn’t a rumor,” he said. “One thing led to another. Oh, more than [us making out].”

'Mormon Wives' Stars Tease Jessi and Jordan’s Marriage Issues

Marciano claimed he had sex with Jessi — and it wasn’t a one-time arrangement, adding, “We have tried meeting up [to continue the affair]. Jordan doesn’t know the truth about how extensive it was. It was not just a one-time hookup thing. It was not some one-night stand.”

In an interview with Bustle in May, Jessi claimed there was much more to the story. “I will say that it’s not what he made it sound [like]. What he said was not accurate. I wish I could speak now,” she said before agreeing with the interviewer that Marciano’s claims were hard to believe. “Honestly, yeah, he’s a piece of s***.”

“That was definitely a hard watch,” she said of the season 2 finale scene. “We are continuing filming, so you guys will see this story unfold,” Jessi said. “I would say that viewers can look forward to me being very vulnerable and going behind the curtain of my real life and marriage.”

Earlier in May, Jessi gave an update on her marriage to Jordan amid the affair claims.

How Many Cheating Scandals Were Explored on 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives'?

“I will say that reality TV is hard on any relationship, whether it’s a friendship or a marriage,” Jessi revealed on “The Viall Files” podcast. “We’ve been through a lot and now it’s going to be public.”

At the time, Jessi said she wasn’t wearing her wedding ring while she and Jordan were “working through things,” adding, “We’re trying our best — but things are a little tricky right now. I’m excited to hopefully someday share more about that. But right now it’s just real life and it’s hard.”

As her legal battle against Justin Baldoni continues, Blake Lively is stopping to smell the roses.

The actress shared a tribute to her mother, Elaine Lively, via her Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5, as she revealed she had been trying her hand at flower arranging.

Blake, 37, shared a photo of herself holding a bouquet of flowers via her social media and thanked her mom, 77, for always supporting her creative endeavors.

“Grateful to my mama for always doing creative things with me,” Blake captioned the post. “Even when she was working nonstop and had zero time. She always told me I ‘couldn’t mess it up,’ when I very much could.”

Blake Lively Alludes to Justin Baldoni Legal Drama at Time 100 Gala

She added: “What a lifelong gift that creative empowerment and trust has been. Most of my passions come from, or thanks to, her.”

Blake famously portrayed Lily Bloom, who worked as a florist, in the 2024 film It Ends With Us. Working on this movie culminated in a battle against her costar and director, Baldoni, after the pair launched legal action against each other.

The pair’s back-and-forth began in December 2024. Blake filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, accusing him of sexual harassment, creating a hostile work environment and orchestrating an alleged smear campaign against her.

Baldoni has denied the allegations. He subsequently filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and their publicist, Leslie Sloane, accusing them of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more. They have denied the claims and requested for the lawsuit to be dismissed.

At the Time 100 Gala in New York City in April, Blake seemingly addressed the controversy after being named one of the magazine’s most influential people.

“I have so much to say about the last two years of my life, but tonight is not the forum,” the actress said, appearing to refer to the drama surrounding It Ends With Us.

Blake Lively Says Fear ‘Keeps Us Silent’ and She’s Had ‘Intense Year’

During her time on stage, the Gossip Girl alum made the moment about her mother, Elaine, as she went on to speak about “the feeling of being a woman who has a voice today.”

Blake shared a tribute to Elaine, who attended the event, praising her for being a survivor “of the worst crime someone can commit against a woman.”

“I’ve watched her conceal her raw and undeserved shame my entire life, so as her daughter, being asked to share this today, is monumental. If we name it, we change it,” she said at the time.

Blake later added, “Never underestimate a woman’s ability to endure pain.”

Hoda Kotb may have left behind her Today cohosting job, but she’s got some strong opinions on who should fill her shoes.

Appearing on the Thursday, June 5, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Kotb, 60, weighed in on who she believes are the top potential candidates to be her replacement alongside Jenna Bush Hager.

Kotb ended her 17-year run on the NBC morning show in January, after which Craig Melvin replaced her as Savannah Guthrie‘s news coanchor. Bush Hager, meanwhile, relaunched the show’s fourth hour as Today With Jenna & Friends and has been joined by cohosts such as Scarlett Johansson, Taraji P. Henson, Keke Palmer, Amy Poehler, Dwyane Wade and more.

“Anybody would be so lucky. But to me, the contenders are Savannah. I think she would be great. I think Justin Sylvester is amazing,” she said on WWHL.

What the 'Today' Hosts, Celebs Have Said About Finding Hoda's Replacement

While Kotb agreed with Andy Cohen that it is unlikely Marvel star Johansson would be keen to fill the role full-time, she was a big fan of how the actress performed as a temporary replacement.

“Scarlett Johansson crushed it,” Kotb enthused. “She said it was her favorite job.”

Kotb continued, “And Matt Rogers is great. And also our dear friend Sheinelle Jones, who is going through a horrible time, but I think she would be good. I feel like it’s whoever clicks great with Jenna.”

The TV personality also addressed the speculation currently circulating that she could be taking over The Kelly Clarkson Show after an audience member questioned her about it — but she didn’t confirm or deny she’s set to have her own talk show.

“Are you talking about the Kelly Clarkson rumor? OK. I feel like Kelly is in a class all by herself. I mean, my whole thing with talk shows and all that stuff is, I’m a ‘never say never’ person,” Kotb said. “You don’t know what life’s going to bring you, but at this moment, I’m having such fun with the ride that I’m on. But that — TV — is my first love, so as I say in life, you don’t know.”

Scarlett Johansson Says Today’s Jenna Bush Hager Needs 'Someone Funny'

Meanwhile, Bush Hager, 43, recently told Us it could take a while until the fourth hour of Today picks a permanent replacement for Kotb.

“We’re kind of stoked just living in the Jenna & Friends era,” Bush Hager exclusively told Us Weekly at Kotb’s Joy 101 launch event in New York City on May 28. “We booked — I can’t tell you who — but we have amazing people next week, amazing, and amazing people the week after. And then, we have our summer booked, so we aren’t quite there yet.”

Billy Joel is sharing candid details about some tough times in his younger years in a new documentary.

Billy Joel: And So It Goes, which premiered at the Tribeca Festival in New York City on Wednesday, June 4, showed the singer opening up about one of his lowest points.

Joel, 76, shared details about how he fell “in love” with Elizabeth Weber, the then-wife of Jon Small, in his early 20s, People reported on Thursday, June 5. Small was Joel’s best friend and bandmate at the time, and Joel had moved in with the couple and their son.

Weber appeared in the documentary, noting that she and Joel spent a lot of time together before Small caught wind of the affair. It culminated in Joel confessing to Small, “I’m in love with your wife.” (Weber and Joel later reignited their romance and were married from 1973 to 1982.)

Christie Brinkley Details Billy Joel Marriage, Divorce: Book Revelations

“I felt very, very guilty about it. They had a child. I felt like a home-wrecker,” Joel said in the film. “I was just in love with a woman, and I got punched in the nose, which I deserved. Jon was very upset. I was very upset.”

The affair caused Joel and Small’s band to split up, and with their friendship in tatters, the Piano Man began to spiral.

“I had no place to live. I was sleeping in laundromats, and I was depressed, I think, to the point of almost being psychotic,” he said. “So I figured, ‘That’s it. I don’t want to live anymore.’ I was just in a lot of pain, and it was sort of like, ‘Why hang out? Tomorrow is going to be just like today is, and today sucks.’ So, I just thought I’d end it all.”

In the documentary, Joel’s sister, Judy Molinari, detailed the emotional period when Joel made his first suicide attempt and she thought she was going to lose him.

“He was in a coma for days and days and days,” she said. “I went to go see him in the hospital, and he was laying there white as a sheet.”

During the second attempt, it was actually Small who rushed Joel to the hospital to get help.

“Even though our friendship was blowing up, Jon saved my life,” Joel shared. (Small eventually forgave Joel for the affair with Weber.)

Following the attempts, Joel checked himself into an “observation ward,” and the experience helped him get back on the right path.

“I got out of the observation ward, and I thought to myself, ‘You can utilize all those emotions to channel that stuff into music,'” he explained.

Dakota Johnson isn’t shying away from daring attire in the wake of reports of her relationship with Chris Martin breaking down.

The actress, 35, was all smiles as she stepped out in a see-through outfit in Tribeca in New York City on Thursday, June 5, just one day after the pair’s reported split made headlines.

The Madame Web star donned a sheer, near naked black midi-dress which she accessorized with matching black pumps for the outing. To complete the look, Johnson added a brown Gucci Jackie handbag and black sunglasses and wore her hair out.

Johnson and Martin have reportedly gone their separate ways and called off their engagement after eight years together, according to a People report published on Wednesday, June 4.

Dakota Johnson Spotted Without Engagement Ring Amid Chris Martin Split

Us Weekly has reached out to reps for Martin, 48, and Johnson for comment on Wednesday.

Prior to the reports on Wednesday, Johnson was photographed out and about in Tribeca sans her engagement ring – jewelry she has often been spotted wearing during past public outings.

In recent months, the pair have faced speculation about the status of their relationship. Despite supporting Martin during his summer 2024 tour with Coldplay, Johnson raised eyebrows when she was spotted without her engagement ring in Los Angeles.

Johnson’s rep, however, denied there were any issues, telling Us in August 2024, “The reports are not true. They are happily together.”

Us Weekly exclusively confirmed in December 2017 that the Coldplay singer and Johnson were dating. (Martin’s divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow was finalized in July 2016. They share two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.)

The notoriously private couple — who were rarely photographed together — briefly broke up in the summer of 2019.

Martin and Johnson, however, got back together one month later with a little help from Paltrow, 52.

“Gwyneth is the one who pushed them to do it,” a source told Us in August 2019.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Reportedly Split Again After 8 Years

In January 2020, Paltrow confirmed her love and respect for Martin’s new flame during a candid interview with Harper’s Bazaar.

“I love her,” Paltrow shared with the publication. “I can see how it would seem weird because it’s sort of unconventional. But I think, in this case, just having passed through it iteratively, I just adore her.”

Martin, Johnson and Paltrow were so amicable that a source told Us in March 2024 that the duo had even planned to invite the Goop founder to their wedding.

“They absolutely plan on having Apple and Moses there, and they wouldn’t feel complete without inviting Gwyneth too,” the insider shared. “Dakota and Gwyneth have grown very close over the years and they consider themselves family at this point.”

The Wrexham AFC announcers name-dropped Taylor Swift during the latest episode of Welcome to Wrexham.

During the Thursday, June 5 episode, Wrexham was playing rivals (and the Tom Brady-owned team) Birmingham. While the Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney owned Red Dragons initially had a leg up, things started to go south in the match.

“Ruby slippers invoking the spirit of the patron saint of lost causes, Taylor Swift, and saying shake it off, Reds,” one of the announcers could be heard saying during the game. “You’ve got plenty of time.”

The game, which was filmed in January, ultimately ended in a draw.

This was not the first time Swift had been referenced in Welcome to Wrexham. During season 3, which aired last year, Reynolds joked about his plans to “lure” Swift to Wales in support of the soccer (football in the U.K.) team.

Inside Blake Lively, Taylor Swift’s ‘Strained’ Friendship Amid Baldoni Case

Thursday’s name-drop, however, comes just after the ongoing drama surrounding the singer and longtime friend Blake Lively, who is married to Wrexham coowner Reynolds.

Swift has been named multiple times in Lively’s ongoing legal battle against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni. Last month, she was issued a subpoena in the suit. A rep for Swift released a statement addressing the news.

“Taylor Swift never set foot on the set of this movie, she was not involved in any casting or creative decisions, she did not score the film, she never saw an edit or made any notes on the film,” the singer’s rep shared in a statement to Us. “She did not even see It Ends With Us until weeks after its public release, and was traveling around the globe during 2023 and 2024 headlining the biggest tour in history.”

One of Swift’s songs was used in the It Ends With Us trailer, but that was the singer’s only connection to the film.

How Taylor Swift Was Pulled Into Blake Lively's Justin Baldoni Legal Drama

“The connection Taylor had to this film was permitting the use of one song, ‘My Tears Ricochet.’ Given that her involvement was licensing a song for the film, which 19 other artists also did,” the statement concluded. “This document subpoena is designed to use Taylor Swift’s name to draw public interest by creating tabloid clickbait instead of focusing on the facts of the case.”

Us Weekly confirmed in late May that the subpoena against Swift had been dropped. (Lively and Baldoni are set to appear in court starting in March 2026.)

The move to involve Swift in the ongoing legal battle has reportedly impacted her friendship with Lively.

“Taylor and Blake have talked, but it’s strained,” a source told Us exclusively in a May cover story. “Their friendship is not what it used to be.”

New episodes of Welcome to Wrexham premiere on FX Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and are streaming via Hulu the following day.

A few unexpected visitors dropped by Carrie Bradshaw’s new Gramercy Park home — but some of the surprises were better than others.

During the Thursday, June 5, episode of And Just Like That season 3, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) was writing in her dreamy Manhattan garden when dozens of rats ran out from the bushes. Startled, Carrie rushed inside and composed a lengthy text to Aidan (John Corbett), joking that she was hiding upstairs because she didn’t know if rats were capable of climbing steps. She ultimately deleted the paragraph. (ICYMI, Carrie and Aidan put a five-year pause on their relationship so he could focus on raising his sons in Virginia.)

To fix her “rat superhighway,” Carrie’s garden had to be entirely cleared out. Upstairs, Carrie was spooked by her cat, Shoe, before getting an even bigger surprise: Aidan appeared in her room.

Aidan explained that his youngest son, Wyatt, was with his ex-wife, Kathy, for the night, so he decided to pay Carrie a visit. “I felt weird about shutting you down when you called the other night,” he told Carrie, who unsuccessfully attempted to initiate phone sex with Aidan while his son slept beside him during the season 3 premiere.

Later, while the pair sat in the kitchen, Carrie used her rat problem to prompt a discussion with Aidan about the status of their complicated relationship..

“So you felt weird about the other night and I’ve been feeling weird about something, too,” she began. “I’m trying to give you the space to be fully there for Wyatt and the boys, but sometimes things happen and I want to tell you about them. You know, like the rats. I wrote this whole long text to you and I just, I felt like I couldn’t send it.”

Aidan insisted that it was “crazy” for Carrie to feel that way, making her even more “lost” about their arrangement.

“I’m kinda lost, too,” Aidan admitted. “I was so upset and I think guilty for being up here the night of Wyatt’s accident, maybe I went a little overboard. I mean, I gotta stay f***ing laser focused on the situation at home. But you can text me — little stuff, big stuff. Call me, if it’s important.”

How Much Carrie Bradshaw's New Gramercy Park Home Would Cost IRL

Carrie teased, “So, any time? Only during business hours? Weekends? Are operators standing by?” Aidan said he might not always pick up, but reassured her that she could “fire away” any time.

Noting that the conversation made her “feel better” about their relationship, Carrie explained, “That garden was the reason why I said something. You know, I thought everything was just perfect out there, but I just wasn’t looking underneath. I’m just trying to look underneath this.”

While Aidan confessed that their situation was “far from perfect,” he joked that the couple were in a “rat-free zone.”

And Just Like That airs on Max Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Lindsay Hubbard is feeling vindicated after Kristin Cavallari’s latest comments about her former fling with Craig Conover.

Sharing a clip of Cavallari’s appearance earlier this week on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen via her Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5, Hubbard called out Conover.

The clip featured The Hills star, 38, confirming that she briefly dated Conover right before he got serious with his now ex Paige DeSorbo.

“Remember when Craig screamed at me for hours at Summer House because I gave Paige the heads up about this situation… and here we are, the truth bomb,” Hubbard, 38, wrote as she shared her reaction to the comments.

Kristin Cavallari Says She Actually Did Kiss Southern Charm's Craig Conover

Hubbard added: “So glad Paige is not with a Pathy anymore!”

The comments on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, which aired on Wednesday, June 4, occurred during the “Truth Bomb” segment when Cohen, 57, grilled Cavallari about the nature of her past relationship with Conover.

“OK, let’s talk about it,” Cavallari said. “So, Craig and I were friends first, [then] became romantic for two seconds. The second I caught wind of [his relationship with] Paige, I very politely excused myself from the situation.”

When Cohen asked whether there was “overlap in your relationships,” Cavallari noted, “There was a picture of Craig and Paige in New York — I’ll never forget it — and it looked like they were sort of together. That was the first time anyone had seen them. That was the first time I had heard about it. I saw that picture, and I texted him and I said, ‘Hey, let’s just be friends.’”

In 2023, Hubbard was in the firing line during the Summer House reunion when DeSorbo slammed her and Carl Radke, calling them both “fake” and accusing Hubbard of being a liar “about everything.”

Kristin Cavallari Opens Up About Dating Craig Conover ‘For 2 Seconds’

“I think they’re pretty fake sometimes,” DeSorbo, 32, said when asked about the couple during part 1 of the season 7 reunion. “I think everything they do is premeditated and planned. I think they just lie, and they spin everything.”

Meanwhile, Cavallari previously addressed the Conover situation on WWHL, telling Cohen in 2023, “I may have been drunk one night and kissed Craig.” However, she denied anything happened with his Southern Charm pal Austen Kroll.

Reports swirled in July 2021 that Cavallari was involved in a love triangle with Conover and Kroll.

“I haven’t dated anybody in a few months. These two guys who I have been linked to for the past year are my friends. That’s it,” she wrote via her Instagram Story at the time, adding, “It’s possible for a grown woman to be friends with a grown man.”

Chris Martin gave Dakota Johnson’s new movie, Materialists, a shout-out days before their split.

“Thank you so much everybody. Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don’t forget to go see Materialists,” Martin, 48, said to the crowd at Coldplay’s concert in Stanford, California per fan footage shared via social media on Sunday, June 1. “We love you! We’ll see you next time.”

Johnson, 35, stars in Materialists alongside Chris Evans and Pedro Pascal. The romcom is scheduled to be released on Friday, June 13.

Martin’s on-stage gesture came days before news broke of him and Johnson broke up after nearly eight years together. People reported on Wednesday, June 4, that the pair had called off their engagement. Us Weekly reached out to Martin and Johnson for comment at the time.

Chris Martin and Dakota Johnson Reportedly Split Again After 8 Years

After news broke of their split, Johnson was spotted walking around New York City without her engagement ring.

Prior to their break-up, Martin and Johnson faced speculation about the status of their relationship. Johnson supported Martin during Coldplay’s summer 2024 tour. However, the actress raised eyebrows when she was spotted without her engagement ring while out and about in Los Angeles.

Johnson’s rep denied the rumors in an August 2024 statement to Us.

“The reports are not true. They are happily together,” the spokesperson said.

Earlier this year, things seemed like smooth sailing for the twosome. At the start of the year, Martin and Johnson were photographed holding hands in India. During their getaway, they were filmed participating in a religious ceremony at Mumbai’s Hindu House of Prayer Babulnath Temple.

Last month, Johnson and Martin had a rare public outing in Malibu.

Us confirmed Martin and Johnson began dating in December 2017 following the musician’s divorce from Gwyneth Paltrow. (Martin and Paltrow’s divorce was finalized in July 2016. The exes share two children, Apple, 21, and Moses, 19.)

Dakota Johnson Spotted Without Engagement Ring Amid Chris Martin Split

Two years later, Johnson and Martin broke up. However, the duo ultimately rekindled their relationship after one month apart. A source told Us in August 2019 that Paltrow played a part in reuniting the couple.

“Gwyneth is the one who pushed them to do it,” a source said.

Us confirmed in March 2024 that Martin and Johnson were engaged.

“They absolutely plan on having Apple and Moses there, and they wouldn’t feel complete without inviting Gwyneth too,” a source said. “Dakota and Gwyneth have grown very close over the years and they consider themselves family at this point. One of the most important things to Chris is how beautifully Dakota fits into the lives of him and his children.”

Sabrina Carpenter has a message for boys in her new song, “Manchild.”

Carpenter, 26, dropped her latest single on Thursday, June 5. In the track, Carpenter talks about dealing with a man she doesn’t consider to be all that bright.

“You said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge it / Whole outfit you’re wearing, God, I hope it’s ironic / Did you just say you’re finished? Didn’t know we started / It’s all just so familiar, baby, what do you call it? / Stupid, or is it, slow? /Maybe it’s useless, but there’s a cuter word for it, I know,” Carpenter sings in the opening verse.

In the chorus, Carpenter confesses she has the worst luck when it comes to her love life.

“Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’ to me? / F*** my life, won’t you let an insane woman be? / Never heard of self-care / Half your brain just ain’t there / Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’, takin’ all my lovin’ from me?” she belts.

Before releasing the song, Carpenter sent a newsletter to her fans on Tuesday, June 3, which included a little tease.

“Oh boy … this is gonna be fun,” she wrote at the time (which, it turns out, is how she opens the track).

The same day, Carpenter took to social media to announce the song.

“This one’s about you!!” she wrote via Instagram. “‘Manchild’ is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST.”

The announcement also included imagery of Carpenter wearing cut off jean shorts and a white long sleeve button up expertly tied to show off her torso. In the snap, the singer stood in the middle of the desert and attempted to hitchhike.

Before the release of “Manchild,” many fans theorized the track would be about Carpenter’s ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan. The pair sparked romance rumors in late 2023 and confirmed their relationship the following year. Keoghan, 32, appeared in Carpenter’s music video for her song “Please Please Please.” Their characters fell in love while serving time behind bars.

“I liked the idea of falling in love with a convict and being shocked and embarrassed every time he commits crimes,” the singer told Vogue of the video’s inspiration in June 2024. “I was sooo lucky to get Barry Keoghan in the video cause he is just magic on screen.”

Us Weekly confirmed in December 2024 that Carpenter and Keoghan called it quits after dating for nearly a year.

“It’s been challenging for their relationship since she started going on tour and has been gone a lot,” a source told Us at the time of what went wrong for the couple. “Their schedules were not aligning. All the time spent apart it was hard to maintain a relationship amid her career exploding.”

After news of their split broke, Keoghan deleted his Instagram account.

“I can only sit and take so much. My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don’t respond to,” he wrote in an X statement at the time. “I have to respond now because it’s getting to a place where too many lines are being crossed.”

Keoghan explained that he ultimately decided to deactivate his account so he could focus on his “family” and “work.” The Saltburn actor is the father of son Brando, 2, whom he welcomed during a previous relationship.

“Absolute lies, hatred, disgusting commentary about my appearance, character, how I am as a parent and every other inhumane thing you can imagine, dragging my character and everything I worked extremely hard for and stand for,” he concluded.

Candice Miller has gone radio silent on social media again, deactivating her Instagram account days after her brief return.

Us Weekly confirmed on Thursday, June 5, that Miller’s Instagram profile is no longer active. The shift came two days after Miller posted her first message on her page since her husband, Brandon Miller, died last summer.

“In the midst of winter, I found there was, within me, an invincible summer,” Candice, 42, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, June 3. “And that makes me happy. For it says that no matter how hard the world pushes against me, within me, there’s something stronger — something better, pushing right back.”

The Mama & Tata influencer also shared a photo of the sun peeking through cloudy skies hovering over a body of water, to set the scene.

Socialite Candice Miller Rebuilding Her Life After Husband's Death: Report

The post was Candice’s first since Brandon died by suicide in July 2024 at the age of 43. At the time, The Times reported that Brandon, a luxury real estate mogul, was found “unconscious” in his Hamptons home and was transported to a Southampton hospital, where he later died.

Candice and the couple’s two daughters were on vacation in Italy when Brandon died. “Candice is devastated by the loss of her soul mate, and her two young daughters’ lives are forever impacted by the loss of their beloved daddy,” a family spokesperson told the New York Times in a statement in August 2024.

The following month, Candice was sued for $195,000 in unpaid rent on the couple’s Manhattan condo. According to court docs obtained by Us, Candice’s lawyers argued she shouldn’t be held responsible for the balance because her name was reportedly never on the lease.

In December 2024, Candice filed court papers claiming that her late husband was $33.6 million in debt when he died. She alleged that she only had $8,000 in a bank account and was therefore unable to repay Brandon’s outstanding loans.

The Times, however, previously reported that Candice benefitted from $15 million worth of Brandon’s life insurance policies and sold their joint residence earlier that month.

Earlier this year, Page Six reported that Candice was selling her belongings to offset some of the debt her husband left behind. The outlet reported in January that Candice was attending parties and events around the Miami Beach area and slowly rebuilding her life.

Two friends claiming to be close to Candice told Page Six that the mommy blogger had been spotted attending workout classes and seen out at dinners after relocating to Florida.

Candice, however, has remained quiet on social media — and shut down her Mama & Tata blog — except for the one post earlier this month on Instagram.

Golden Bachelor alum Theresa Nist is giving fans a little glimpse as to how her love life is faring following her split from Gerry Turner.

“I absolutely do want to be in a relationship,” Nist, 71, said to hosts Ben Higgins and Ashley Iaconetti during the Thursday, June 5, episode of the “Almost Famous” podcast. “And whether or not I’m in one right now, I’m not prepared to discuss.”

Higgins, 34, and Iaconetti, 37, were shocked by Nist’s impromptu confession and attempted to get the reality TV star to dish on some details. The former Bachelor asked Nist if it was “true or not true” she was dating, to which she replied “true.”

Iaconetti followed up to inquire how many dates Nist has been on with the mystery person — she noted it was “several.”

Theresa Nist Would Do ‘Golden Bachelor’ Again in ‘Altered Universe’

“Would you or would you not call each other girlfriend and boyfriend?” Iaconetti asked and Nist replied, “Oh my gosh, not yet.”

As for the pair’s last question on the subject, Iaconetti asked how Nist met the man, to which she revealed they connected via a “dating website.”

Bachelor Nation was first introduced to Nist during the inaugural season of The Golden Bachelorette, which aired in 2023. She ultimately won over the heart of Turner, 73, and got engaged in the season finale. The pair tied the knot during ABC’s live The Golden Wedding television special in January 2024. Months later, Turner and Nist announced they were getting a divorce.

Since her split from Turner, Nist has kept details about her love life low-key. When news broke in April that Bachelor in Paradise would be returning and including contestants from both Golden spinoffs, many fans thought Nist would be in the mix. However, Nist revealed on Thursday that she would not be on the series.

Theresa Nist Says She Gets DMs From Men Younger Than Her Son

“The chronology of events was that I went through all the testing. I was already there, and they took the guys, and then I went back [to producers] and said ‘I really can’t do it,’” she recalled. “But then I actually went back and said, ‘OK, maybe I should give it a shot and then I didn’t get it.”

While Nist wanted to be on Bachelor in Paradise, she ultimately realized she was more excited to reunite with her friends from the show rather than find a love connection with one of the potential suitors.

“I kind of thought it just wasn’t really for me, and I really was so enthusiastic about it when it first came out,” she reflected. “I was talking about who I’d be interested in, and then I realized that I was really just excited about seeing the women and having a reunion and having a vacation with them. So I thought that wasn’t fair to make it about that, and I really didn’t want to go on and pretend or just make up something or make an alliance. And I thought I’d be much better off just watching it.”
