Prince Harry is set to return to the U.K. as his legal battle continues.

The Duke of Sussex is set to go up against News Group Newspapers (NGN) — which owns The Sun — in court starting this month. Harry, 40, previously accused the media company of allegedly using unlawful information gathering tactics.

Hello! Magazine reported on Tuesday, January 7, that when Harry flies home he won’t be accompanied by wife Meghan Markle. The publication noted that she will likely stay in California with their kids, Archie, 5, and Lilibet, 3.

NGN previously admitted to phone hacking at the News of the World, which closed in 2011. They’ve since claimed that there was no wrongdoing at The Sun.

Prince Harry's 2nd Unlawful Info Gathering Case Will Go to Trial

In an April 2023 court filing, Harry alleged that his brother, Prince William, settled with NGN for “a very large sum” in 2020. He also claimed that the royal family had a “secret agreement” with the media company preventing any members from filing lawsuits. (NGN has since denied this claim.)

Judge Timothy Fancourt ruled last July that Harry’s case could move forward solely on the allegations of unlawful information gathering. His phone hacking claims fell outside the six-year time frame to bring the case. The judge also stated that Harry failed to provide evidence of the alleged “secret agreement.” The trial date was eventually set for January 2025. (The hearing is set to last for eight weeks.)

This is hardly the first time Harry is going up against the U.K. media. He was part of a group that sued Mirror Group Newspapers (MGN), which owns the Daily Mail, for allegedly hacking into celebrities’ voicemails as a way to obtain personal information. He made a major statement while testifying in June 2023, making him the first royal family member to take the stand in 130 years. By December 2023, a judge ruled in Harry’s favor. Court documents obtained by Us at the time revealed that the judge found “sufficient proof” that MGN “engaged in unlawful information gathering, including phone hacking.”

Prince Harry's Many Legal Cases Explained: Phone Hacking and More

Harry spoke candidly about his ongoing legal battle during last month, noting that his time in court is about “accountability” at the New York Times’s DealBook Summit.

“They’ve settled because they’ve had to settle,” he said of those who came before him. “So therefore, one of the main reasons for seeing this through is accountability, because I’m the last person that can actually achieve that.”

When it comes to the Golden Globe Awards (or any awards show, for that matter), the red carpet looks tend to draw as much attention as the winners. For 2025’s event, elegant yet unfussy makeup enhanced the old Hollywood glam styles, and luckily for ever-curious Us, celebrity makeup artists are sharing insider details on the products they used. As it turns out, two of our favorite actresses ended up wearing the same lipstick!

Golden Globes Glam! Elle Fanning Wore This $14 Beauty Product on the Red Carpet

For Sunday’s award ceremony, celebrity makeup artists Pati Dubroff and Quinn Murphy worked with Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Bell, respectively, ensuring they were ready to pose for the cameras. Both artists used Chanel on the actresses, topping their masterpieces with Le Rouge Duo Ultra Tenue in Chic Rosewood, a subtly shimmering mocha-rose lipstick. The two-part lipstick has a deeply pigmented liquid color on one side and a glossy, hydrating top coat on the other. It’s a wearable glam hue for all-day everyday or a special occasion!

Murphy explained his vision for the Nobody Wants This star.

“Kristen wore a rose-gold sequin gown that was both eye-catching and subtly elegant,” he said. “Rose gold has an undertone that sits in the middle of warm and cool, giving it a delicate and nuanced quality. Rather than opting for a strong eye or bold lip, I wanted to find a balance of features, adding a bit of mystery and nuanced glamour.”

Emma Stone's Stylist Used This High-Speed Hair Dryer to Achieve Her Golden Globes Look

Taking a different approach for Spiderman‘s Dunst, Dubroff opted for strong, dark eye makeup, while the lip shade perfectly harmonized the look.

While long-lasting lipstick is a must for the red carpet, shoppers also love the Chanel lip color, saying it lasts through meals and doesn’t leave lip prints on wine glasses. One devotee, who calls it “Absolutely the best!” raved that the lipstick is a “long-wearing color and doesn’t dry out. The gloss is gorgeous and doesn’t feel sticky. This stuff is magic! Doesn’t transfer all over your cup and is still on by the end of the day!”

A second devotee confirms, “I love this long-lasting lipstick and gloss; it’s the best I have ever tried, and the color selection is amazing!”

Quiet luxury has come for your lips. If you’re going to invest in one piece of makeup that will match any style — and look smashing through the winter into the springtime — don’t hesitate to shop this lipstick today. We’ve already added it to our carts!

In a season filled with lucky breaks for the Kansas City Chiefs, quarterback Patrick Mahomes received another one on the homefront. 

Mahomes, 29, revealed his wife, Brittany Mahomes, is due to give birth to the couple’s third baby on Sunday, January 12, during Kansas City’s playoff bye week. 

“He told me his wife Brittany is due to give birth to their 3rd child on Sunday. If she doesn’t give birth by then she will be induced Monday,” CBS reporter Tracy Wolfson shared via X on Monday, January 6. 

The timing is fortuitous because the Chiefs have earned the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs, meaning they won’t begin their playoff quest until the weekend of January 18.

Patrick Mahomes and Pregnant Wife Brittany Share Sideline PDA Before Game

Wolfson, 49, added, “There was def extra motivation for Patrick to get that bye week! .”

Patrick and Brittany — who got married in March 2022 — already share daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 2. In July 2024, they revealed their third baby will be a girl. 

In an interview with Kay Adams that aired during Netflix’s coverage of the Chiefs’ Christmas Day game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Patrick said the new addition would be arriving “any day now.”

“Brittany says I’ve been stressing her out too much this season,” Mahomes told Adams, 38, in the sit-down chat. “So I got to try to not put so much stress on her through these football games.”

He added, “Hopefully God works the right way and we can have that baby on the bye week somewhere, and then everything will work out perfectly.”

After the Christmas Day win over the Steelers, which earned the Chiefs the first-round bye, Patrick gushed about the importance of the victory. 

“I told my pregnant wife I was gonna get the No. 1 seed so we can go have that baby,” he said in his postgame interview.

Brittany responded to the interview via her Instagram Story from home, where she was watching the game.

“Always keeping his promises,” Brittany wrote. 

Patrick and Brittany, 29, announced they are expecting their third baby with a joint Instagram post in July of last year. 

“Round three, here we come ,” the post read, which featured a video of Sterling showing off a sonogram of her soon-to-be sister for the camera.

The Chiefs quest for a historic third-consecutive Super Bowl will start on either Saturday, January 18, or Sunday, January 19. Their opponent will be decided by the winners of the Wild Card weekend games, which kick off Saturday, January 11. 

Zendaya is keeping Us on our toes with her hair changes.

Zendaya, 28, showed off a chic fringe look while speaking at a special screening of Challengers on Monday, January 6. The actress slicked her hair back into a voluminous ponytail with her ends curled. She added a glamorous touch to her updo with some strands wrapped around her hair tie. Zendaya tied her coif together with thick clip-in bangs that were cut slightly below her eyebrows with angels framing her face.

Zendaya teamed her hair with a full beat including a dewy foundation, black liner in her waterline and long lashes. The rest of her makeup featured blushed cheeks with highlighter swept across her high points and pink lined lips.

The actress added the perfect amount of sparkle to her look with diamond stud earrings and her new engagement ring from Tom Holland. The sparkler features a large east-west cushion diamond set on a button back ring.

Zendaya Sparks Tom Holland Engagement Rumors With Ring at Golden Globes

Zendaya’s fierce look didn’t stop there. She went topless underneath a black leather blazer which she paired with a frilly tulle mini skirt, both by John Galliano for Dior. In true Zendaya style, she rocked a pair of black Christian Louboutin ‘So Kate’ heels.

Zendaya first showed off her engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 7. Fans immediately speculated that the ring wasn’t just an accessory and was from Holland getting on one knee, and Us Weekly confirmed the rumors on Monday.

For the Golden Globes, Zendaya wore her hair in a pinned up bob that was styled in Old Hollywood curls. She styled her chin-length haircut with a burnt orange custom Louis Vuitton gown featuring a strapless sweetheart neckline and a column skirt adorned with Watteau train. She accessorized with a massive Bulgari diamond necklace and a matching ring.

Lala Kent‘s former assistant Jessica Walter is breaking her silence about what led to her no longer working for the reality star.

During the debut of her “Date My” podcast on Tuesday, January 7, Walter started by sharing the reason for her shocking disappearance.

“I want to address who I think are a majority of the people tuning in right now, who I’m very grateful for. And those are my loves. Those are my friends who know me from the last podcast I was on,” she said about Kent’s “Give Them Lala” podcast. “I want to take this moment to address you guys because I seemingly disappeared off that last podcast.”

Walter wanted to give an “explanation” for why she was “suddenly gone,” adding, “First thing I’ll say is no, I was not at all expecting to leave. That wasn’t the plan. If I’m gonna be honest, I thought I’d be at that last job forever. I was like ready to be a lifer. Maybe not in the role I was in, but I’ll say within the company I was in.”

Us Explains Why 'VPR' Fans Care About Lala Parting Ways With Her Assistant

While reflecting on her time with Kent, 34, Walter noted that she “invested everything” she had professionally and personally into her job.

“I was investing in a future that I thought we were all on the same page about,” she continued. “Basically, what happened is I said how I felt about the way some things were being handled, and the response I got to that was, in my opinion, not good. The responses I got, honestly, I was taken aback.”

Walter recalled feeling “heartbroken” by the reaction, saying, “I found myself in a position where I felt like I had no other option than to choose to leave.”

Kent revealed Walter’s unexpected departure on her “Give Them Lala” podcast in November 2024. After Vanderpump Rules fans questioned whether the pair were now at odds, Kent later hinted at a divide.

“It’s so wild because it’s like, ‘Where were you when she was on the podcast?’ Nowhere to be found. All I heard was, ‘Get her off.’ At the end of the day, she was my employee,” Kent said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in December 2024. “She wanted to go and move on with her life. And I would be like a crazy person to not say, ‘Go and achieve everything you want to achieve.’ I don’t know how to break this down.”

Lala Kent’s Biggest Feuds With Her 'VPR' Costars Over the Years

Kent clarified she had no plans to have Walter share her side of the story on the “Give Them Lala” podcast.

“At the end of the day, she was employed by Lala Kent. You’re no longer employed. I wish you the best. Have a great life,” she added. “I’ve learned a lot in many relationships in my life, from my ex-fiancé, to certain friends that I’ve had, to employees that I’ve had. Every single thing that I’ve experienced in the past two to three years, I have learned something from. I don’t regret anything, but I know how to make things different.”

Walter, for her part, started her own podcast to create a platform for herself.

“I think sometimes we invest all of ourselves into a relationship and we give it our all,” she explained on Tuesday. “And at the end of the day, maybe we don’t get in return what we feel we deserve. What we feel we deserve can be as small as you don’t have my back. And it can be confusing for people who are like me and frustrating because all these times I’ve made you feel safe and I’ve had your back, and in these moments where I should feel the same, I don’t.”

Walter clarified that she was proud of how she navigated the situation.

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

“We can choose to stay on a path in life in this relationship with this person, with these people who maybe it’s not going the way we hope, but we’re like, ‘Let’s see where it takes us.’ And that’s OK. That’s your choice because that’s your life,” she shared. “Other people may choose to take a step back and say, ‘Nothing here is going to change no matter how hard I try.’ Or, ‘Nothing here is going to veer this way, or get on this path, or whatever. No matter how hard I try, it’s not going to.'”

She continued: “I’m a firm believer that if you’re making decisions based on goodness and purpose and future and the betterment of yourself and others and the world, you can only be rewarded in the end. And you may be rewarded immediately or further down the road.”

Walter concluded by expressing her gratitude, saying, “That’s not all nothing because of how it ended. … I worked hard to be in a lot of those positions and I won’t take that away from myself. Because I am a hard worker and I will always be a hard worker. That is very important to me. But I’m very grateful for all of that.”

Nikki Glaser‘s success at the Golden Globes is already paying off as she is reportedly set to return as host in 2026.

Glaser, 40, signed a three-year deal last year to host the Golden Globes, according to Deadline. While the outlet reports that the comedian was paid more than $400,000 for her debut as host at the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, the fee will allegedly rise “significantly.”

Before the report, the Golden Globes producers praised Glaser’s performance.

“We absolutely had a great experience with her, and think that she would be great at this in the long term,” executive producer Glenn Weiss told Variety on Monday, January 6, while teasing Glaser’s potential return. “I can’t talk officially for anything. I will say, as someone who produces and directs award shows, she really found her niche here, and I think it really worked out beautifully on this show. And I would love to see it continue.”

What Did Critics Say About Nikki Glaser's Golden Globes Hosting Debut?

Fellow executive producer Ricky Kirshner called Glaser’s hosting skills “a home run,” adding, “She really prepared. She did her homework. She’s been practicing material at clubs, sometimes four or five shows a night for a couple of weeks straight, working on this pretty hard since November.”

Kirshner continued: “When you have a host that’s that prepared and that dedicated and also not tone deaf, listening to what’s going on in our business and even in the room on the fly, she’s really good at this. And she proved herself to be a really good host … It’s meant to be fun and a party. And Nikki, her whole tone and and her way of being is really in line with what this show is. And I think she really scored very well last night.”

Glaser made history as the first woman to host the show on her own. Her monologue specifically received positive reviews from critics and social media viewers.

“Tonight, we celebrate the best of film and hold space for television,” she quipped on Sunday. “Yes, Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”

Glaser went on to reference any “future criminals” in the crowd.

Nikki Glaser’s Most Savage (and Controversial) Pop Culture Jokes

“I really think this is going to be a very memorable night, and maybe not in the way that you think,” she added. “I predict five years from now when you’re watching old clips of this on YouTube, you’ll see someone in one of the crowd shots and you’ll be like, ‘Oh, my God, that was before they caught that guy!’ We could be making history tonight and we don’t even know with who. He knows, you know, Or she! It could be a woman. … It won’t be. It never is. Kind of like Best Director.”

After the awards show, Glaser told Howard Stern about the feedback she got from people associated with the Golden Globes.

“This first year, when you’re just trying to prove yourself, I honestly would’ve done it for free,” Glaser admitted on SiriusXM’s The Howard Stern Show. “It’s an insane platform to be on. It’s not about the money for me.”

Meredith Vieira and late husband Richard Cohen were each other’s biggest supporters throughout their decades-long marriage.

Cohen had already been battling multiple sclerosis for 10 years when he met Vieira in 1982 after being diagnosed with the chronic neurological disorder when he was 25 years old. “I dropped a coffeepot for no reason. I fell off a curb for no reason. I noticed a little numbness in my leg,” he told Yahoo Lifestyle in March 2019. “It hit my eyesight fairly quickly, but other than that, I was very active physically and I thought I was really beating it. I was living in denial.”

Despite his health struggles, Cohen and Vieira fell in love and went on to welcome three kids. “It’s one of those clubs you don’t wanna join, but when you’re part of it, you realize there are amazing people who are within that community,” Vieira said of her husband during a September 2019 appearance on The View. “And I really do believe that when you’re given, that’s the card you’re dealt, you deal with it. And he’s amazing.”

The pair were married for 38 years when Cohen died at age 76 in December 2024. Hoda Kotb announced the news on Today in January 2025, revealing that Cohen was “surrounded by his family and love” at the time of his death.

Meredith Vieira’s Husband Richard Cohen Dead at 76 Following MS Battle

Scroll down to look back at Vieira and Cohen’s sweet love story:

1982

In March 2019, Vieira told Yahoo Lifestyle that she and Cohen “went toe-to-toe” from the start of their relationship, saying, “I thought two things: ‘What a jerk,’ and then my second thought was, ‘I’m going to marry this guy.’”

Cohen noted that he informed his future wife of his MS diagnosis on their second date. “I sort of learned the hard way to get it on the table,” he stated, noting that Vieira “didn’t blink” at the revelation.

1986

The couple said “I do” four years after they met.

1989

Cohen and Vieira became parents with the birth of their eldest child, son Benjamin.

1991

They pair welcomed their second child, son Gabriel.

1993

Their family continued to grow with the birth of their daughter, Lily.

May 2011

Vieira announced her decision to leave her hosting role on NBC’s Today in order to spend more time with her family. “I was extremely torn because I love it here,” she said in a press conference at the time. “But I had personal issues that were weighing on me and I felt that I really needed to examine them closely and make a decision based on them.”

She added: “I went back and forth and back and forth. It was really at the last minute that I had to go with my gut, and I know that it’s the right thing, but it doesn’t make it any easier.”

December 2011

“I think that it’s important to ask for help when you need help, that you have friends that care about you,” Vieira said when asked to share advice for families dealing with MS on an episode of Anderson Live. “In the beginning, I thought, ‘Boy, is that putting a burden on other people?’ But that’s what friends are for, literally. And I’m never shy if we need any kind of help, and I think it’s great for the kids to be able to talk to people, as well.”

She continued: “And maintaining a sense of humor. I mean, I think that’s what’s kept us going through a lot of this. As best you can, just to always look at the bright side when you can find it.”

Cohen chimed in to add: “I think we’ve learned that illness is a family affair, and they have a lot at stake in this, also, and need nurturing and need help getting through it. And it really works best when you do it as a unit because you support each other.”

April 2014

Vieira took to social media to reveal that her husband was hospitalized with a “blood clot in his leg that had partially gone to his lungs.”

In a follow-up tweet, she thanked fans for their “kind thoughts and prayers” and joked that “Richard is feeling better and already flirting with the nurses!” (Cohen previously battled colon cancer in 1999 and 2000.)

May 2018

“For Richard to write a book, he’s legally blind and he only has the use of one hand. So, imagine somebody, every day, about 6 a.m. till about 8 p.m. at night, face pressed to the computer, typing with one hand,” Vieira said on Today while discussing Cohen writing his fourth book, Chasing Hope. “And I would say, ‘Why don’t you just talk into a mic, and it will all get transcribed?’ And Richard was very clear to point out, ‘That’s not how I write. That’s not how I create.’ So, that’s why when I said last night I respect him, I admire him — and we do as a family — but I’m in awe of him.”

September 2019

“We definitely allow each other to vent,” Vieira told People of how she and Cohen handled tough times. “That’s part of the deal. Certainly he’s allowed to vent, because he’s got chronic illness. But I am too. Because there are days I can’t stand it and the limitations it puts on the entire family. It’s good to say it. But we don’t dwell.”

She continued: “You can think, ‘Why us?’ but then it’s like, ‘Why not us?’ So many people are dealing with stuff and it puts it into perspective. … Richard is a very funny person, and I have a good sense of humor, so that’s sort of our thing.”

January 2025

News broke that Cohen died on Christmas Eve in December 2024. Kotb explained on Today that the couple’s kids reunited around Thanksgiving because “they were concerned they were gonna lose him early.” Instead, they got to spend a “glorious month” with Cohen before his death.

Savannah Guthrie noted that Vieira was in “really good spirits” before praising her for being “a beautiful and devoted wife” to Cohen. “And he adored Meredith,” she said. “They were, like, the most fun, entertaining, irreverent, cool couple you could hang out with.”

Happy New Year! If one of your New Year’s goals is to start running (or to keep up your habit of running), know that the proper gear is essential — because there’s no bigger deterrent than a fanny pack that keeps sliding, leggings that ride up or — worse — sunglasses that bounce. After mustering up the discipline to go running, you only end up frustrated, dejected and much less likely to keep up the habit.

But every outdoor runner should have a good pair of running sunglasses. Good running sunglasses don’t slide, slip or bounce; have UV protection; contain prescription lenses (if needed) and prevent fogging. These glasses are hard to come by, especially if you’re on a budget, but Zenni recently launched a collection that combines the premium features mentioned with competitive prices and versatile designs that suit every face shape, running pace or weather condition. They allow you to focus on what’s most important: the run!

Zunnies glasses are lighter and thinner than other running sunglasses yet are much more durable. Premium PC thermoplastic makes them up to 30 times stronger than regular plastic lenses that deteriorate quickly over time. They feel custom-made, especially with precision digital shaping, wide fields of view and smooth focus shifts. Instead of enduring a slight visual lag when checking your devices mid-run, these glasses are designed to reduce eye strain and allow for rapid focus shifts. You’ll forget you’re even wearing glasses!

And no, you don’t have to sacrifice style. There are pages of swoon-worthy glasses to choose from, each with grippy temple tips, adjustable nose pads, reduced glare and UVA and UVB ray protection. Whether you prefer neutral black and gray lenses or fun colors like pink, green and red, there’s a pair of sunnies with your name on it! You can choose from wraparound, square, rectangle, oval, aviator, full-rim and half-rim options, so you’re destined to find your perfect pair.

The Wrap-Around Sports Sunglasses are a particularly popular pick, combining a sporty style with peak functionality. We’d expect these sunnies to cost at least $100, but most Zunnies glasses don’t cross the $30 mark. It’s a dream come true for fashionista runners with prescription glasses — or not. The site has plenty of options for everyone! It even allows you to (virtually) try on any style you please.

Trust Us . . . you’ll want to grab a few varieties of these glasses. They also make the perfect gift for the active person in your life, whether it be a runner, hiker or speed walker!

Married at First Sight wedding anniversaries aren’t supposed to be this dramatic.

In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Tuesday, January 7, episode of the Lifetime reality series, the cast comes together to celebrate one month of marriage.

Instead of raising a glass to love and happiness, however, Emem, 34, and Ikechi, 41, clearly have some issues they need to work out in front of the whole group.

“My husband calls me an a—— on our one month anniversary, I don’t have much,” Emem tells Juan and the entire cast. “I don’t have much to give.”

All the ‘Married at First Sight’ Couples Still Together Today

While Ikechi sits quietly at the dinner table, Emem explains why she’s so upset with her husband of nearly four weeks.

“Call me an a—— for being MIA? You said you needed space and time,” she says. “I was texting you. I called you. You did not answer and then you show up today in this joker ass suit. I’m done. You’re wild for this. I’ve been texting you and calling you for two f—ing days.”

After Ikechi denies his wife’s claims that she’s been trying to contact him, Emem can’t help but get a little louder.

“You’re f—ing lying,” she shouts before Karla and the other ladies ask her to go to the bathroom in hopes of calming down.

Before she can catch her breath and officially leave the table, Emem has one final insult for her husband.

“F—ing clown,” she states for all to hear. “Bring me a clown, you’re going to get a circus.”

Viewers met Emem and Ikechi during the season 18 premiere of Married at First Sight in October 2024. At the time, both parties were hopeful that the show’s experts — including Dr. Pepper Schwartz, Pastor Calvin Roberson and Dr. Pia Holec — could match them with their forever partner.

Emem was introduced as an open-minded woman not interested in wasting time dating around. As for Ikechi, he was credited as a man who did the work to figure out who he is and what he wants.

Married at First Sight’s Ashley and Anthony Share Relationship Update

As part of the Married at First Sight experiment, both parties agreed to let Lifetime cameras follow them for eight weeks as they experience the highs and lows of marriage.

On Decision Day — or the show’s season finale — Emem and Ikechi will decide if they want to stay married or get a divorce.

Married at First Sight (produced by Kinetic Content) airs on Lifetime Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Allison Holker found closure after husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss‘ death by reading his journals.

“He was wrestling with a lot inside himself, and he was trying to self-medicate and cope with all those feelings because he didn’t want to put it on anyone because he loved everyone so much,” Holker, 36, told People on Tuesday, January 7. “He didn’t want other people to take on his pain.”

Holker revealed that Boss alluded to being sexually abused by a male figure during his childhood in the entries. “Reading Stephen’s journals, and even going back into the books he had read and the things that he was highlighting and lining, really gave me a better perspective of where he was in life and the type of things he was struggling with,” she told the outlet.”It did have me feel a lot of empathy towards him and sadness for all the pain that he was holding.”

While preparing for Boss’ funeral, Holker also discovered his secret drug addiction.

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss and Wife Allison Holker's Relationship Timeline

“I was with one of my really dear friends, and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral,” Holker said about the “cornucopia” of drugs including mushrooms, pills and “other substances” she had to look up after finding them hiding in Boss’ shoeboxes. “It was a really triggering moment for me because there were a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed.”

Holker found it “very alarming” but it allowed her to find clarity after Boss’ passing.

“There was so much happening that I had no clue [about],” she continued. “It was a really scary moment in my life to figure that out, but it also helped me process that he was going through so much and he was hiding so much, and there must have been a lot of shame in that.”

Boss, best known for his all-star appearances on So You Think You Can Dance and as the regular DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, died by suicide in December 2022 at age 40.

“It is with the heaviest of hearts that I have to share my husband Stephen has left us. Stephen lit up every room he stepped into,” Holker said in a statement at the time. “He valued family, friends and community above all else and leading with love and light was everything to him. He was the backbone of our family, the best husband and father, and an inspiration to his fans.”

She continued: “To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won’t be a day that goes by that we won’t honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children. Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss Through the Years: 'Ellen,' Fatherhood and More

Holker, who shared son Maddox, 8, and daughters Weslie, 16, and Zaia, 5, with Boss, reflected on their nine-year marriage and her healing journey in her upcoming “This Far” memoir.

“It was really hard to put all the pieces together. Through certain discussions, even with friends and things that have been said, reading through his journals … you realize he went through a lot as a child and never faced it,” she told People. “It’s hard to think that he never opened up to someone and wanted to face it, to get through on the other side. I really hope people dealing with the same thing will help themselves out of the shadows and [know] you’re going to be okay.”

Jennifer Aniston Uses This Powder Daily in a Routine That 'Transformed' Her Body

Keller Scott Fornes, best known for his role in Great American Family’s County Rescue, has died at the age of 32.

According to an obituary published by Lacy Funeral Home, the actor and writer passed away on Thursday, December 19, 2024, in Eastland, Texas. No cause of death was given.

Fornes starred as Griffin in the medical drama, which was preparing to begin production on its second season this month. Following his death, Great American Media released a statement honoring Fornes: “We at Great American Media are deeply saddened by the passing of Keller Fornes. He was a special person and talent as an actor, writer, and director as well as a singer and musician. His energy and enthusiasm lifted all he worked with here at Great American Media and the cast and crew of County Rescue. Our prayers are with his family and all those he touched.”

Fornes posted on Instagram on December 14, just five days before his death, sharing behind-the-scenes snapshots and memories with his family.

A post shared by Keller Fornes (@forneskeller)

According to his obituary, Fornes grew up in Texas, and earned a bachelor’s degree in fine arts from the University of North Texas. He was described by loved ones as artistic, with talents for painting, drawing, singing and playing the guitar as well as acting, writing and producing his own independent films.

Fornes wrote and directed several short films, including the 2019 documentary The Buddy I Never Met, as well as appearing in independent films including Anney in the City,  Beast Beast, The E-Listers: Life Back in the Lane and The Secrets She Keeps. He also played a Tower Trooper in a 2022 episode of The Walking Dead.

He also found success as a personal trainer, and had won medals for boxing.

“It was pure joy to work with Keller!” Fornes’s colleague Shari Rigby wrote via Instagram.  “He was such a kind, encouraging soul! You will be greatly missed my friend! Honored and forever changed by his life!”

Julia Reilly, another County Rescue star, also expressed her grief, simply writing “Miss you” alongside a photograph of the pair.

American Idol singer Colton Dixon, who briefly worked with Fornes, also paid tribute to the star, writing “Was so saddened to hear about this. We only met briefly during my work on County Rescue, but he was incredibly kind and purposeful with his words. Prayers for his friends and family.”

Actress Lauren Swickard, known for her roles in Roped and A California Christmas, commented: “I am forever grateful for his friendship. What an honor it was to work with him. What a wonderful person we’ve lost.”

Fornes is survived by wife Margie, his parents and two brothers. A memorial service is scheduled for Saturday, January 11, at Cowboy Church of Erath County in Stephenville, Texas.

Ashton Kutcher and his 8-year-old son, Dimitri don’t just look alike — they also share a love of wrestling.

In a rare public outing together, the father-son duo stepped out to watch the WWE’s Monday Night Raw at the Intuit Dome on Monday, January 6, in Inglewood, California. The pair smiled as they cheered on the athletes together. (Kutcher, 46, shares Dimitri and daughter Wyatt, 10, with his wife, Mila Kunis.)

Kutcher kept things chill, sporting a University of Iowa Hawkeyes T-shirt and baseball hat, which Dimitri matched with his own Hawkeyes jersey and a black hoodie. (Kutcher hails from the midwestern state.)

Kutcher and Dimitri aren’t the only members of their family who are sports fans. Back in May 2024, Kutcher and Kunis, 41, made a rare public appearance with both of their kids to watch WNBA star Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever take on the Los Angeles Sparks.

Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher's Most Relatable Parenting Quotes Over the Years

After the Fever defeated the Sparks with a score of 78-73, the couple brought their kids onto the court to snap a pic with Clark, 22. In social media footage from the sporting event, Kunis was seen wiping away tears from Wyatt’s face as she got emotional after meeting the basketball superstar.

Kutcher and Kunis — who met starring together on the sitcom That ‘70s Show — welcomed Wyatt one year before they tied the knot in July 2015. Their family continued to grow with the birth of Dimitri in November 2016.

Both the basketball game and wrestling match marked some of the first public appearances the couple have made with their children after choosing to stay mostly out of the public eye over the years. However, both Kutcher and Kunis have gushed about their family of four in interviews.

“We’re very goofy parents when it comes to our children, but that doesn’t [mean we] have a skill,” Kunis shared on a March 2020 episode of the “Teach Me Something New” podcast. “I think that’s just [us] being idiots. We’re very comfortable with ourselves acting a fool at home, but maybe that comes from the idea of being comfortable in your own body, and in your own skin, and in your mind and not having a fear of making a fool of yourself.”

Kutcher went on to add: “Sometimes try to read our daughter’s books in the characters’ voices, and she’s like, ‘Dad, can you just use your real voice?’ I’ll do Peppa Pig with an English accent. And then [the dad], the whole thing. And she’s like, ‘Dad, just do your regular voice.’”

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis' Relationship Timeline

Last year, Kutcher told the “Throwbacks” podcast that “toxic masculinity” impacted his parenting style. “My son, I’m always like, ‘Yeah, let’s go for it.’ Like, yesterday we’re popping wheelies on a bicycle in the driveway or it’s like, ‘See if you can jump down four stairs.’ [With] my daughter I just want to protect her,” he explained in September 2024. “When my son cries, I’m like, ‘All right, what did we learn? Let’s move on.’ But when my daughter cries, my heart is out of my body and I can’t put it back in.”

He continued: “But I also notice the same thing with my wife, like, she’s very strict on our daughter and, like, a gushball with our son. I think we balance each other in that way.”

James Kennedy returned to social media after his arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence.

Kennedy, 32, took to Instagram Stories on Tuesday, January 7, to share a photo of him with his dog, Hippie. In another post, Kennedy showed nine of his chips from Alcoholics Anonymous which read, “Keep Coming Back.”

The reality star previously revealed his plans to make “meaningful changes” in his life after his arrest.

“I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones,” he wrote via Instagram in December 2024. “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”

James Kennedy's Most Controversial Moments: Fired From SUR, Arrest and More

Us Weekly confirmed earlier that month that police were dispatched to Kennedy’s home, where he lives with girlfriend Ally Lewber. The authorities received a call about an argument between a man and a woman and saw Kennedy allegedly grabbing the woman. Officers who responded to the scene did not see any visible injuries.

According to police records, the woman reportedly told the Burbank Police Department that “her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground.” Kennedy’s legal team subsequently released a statement on his behalf.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his attorneys said in a statement to Us after he was released on a $20,000 bail. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

Lewber, 28, broke her silence after a source told Us that the couple were taking some space.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”

A source subsequently told Us about their status, saying, “James is trying to win everything back including Ally. If he doesn’t stay sober, he knows he has a lot to lose.”

Before the legal trouble, Kennedy discussed his sobriety journey on Vanderpump Rules. (He joined the cast in 2015 when he was a busser at Lisa Vanderpump‘s restaurant SUR.)

James Kennedy's Quotes About the Ups and Downs of His Sobriety Journey

“Letting go of drinking was the best decision I ever made and I’m going strong. I don’t miss the booze …… I don’t miss the feeling …. I’m so grateful for everything now and life has become more beautiful in many ways,” Kennedy captioned an Instagram post in July 2020. “Thank you to my rock @raquelleviss for getting me here I couldn’t of done this without you my love. and thank you all for the support this past year.”

Kennedy confirmed he started drinking again after his broken engagement to Rachel “Raquel” Leviss. He recommitted to cutting out alcohol again after meeting Lewber. His girlfriend praised Kennedy for being the Vanderpump Rules cast member who “changed the most,” telling Bravo in January 2024, “James, he’s in therapy, he’s sober, I’m really proud of him.”
