Patrick Schwarzenegger Cozies Up to Fiancee After Going to Met Gala Solo

9 May 2025 at 12:10

Patrick Schwarzenegger and his fiancée, Abby Champion, appear to still be going strong after the White Lotus star attended the 2025 Met Gala solo.

Schwarzenegger, 31, posted a carousel of pics with Champion, 28, from a recent vacation the two enjoyed in Cancun. He captioned the Thursday, May 8 post, “Fun weekend getaway!!”

The photos showed Schwarzenegger posing with his arm around his fiancée as the two stood on the beach and seemingly got ready to snorkel. They also posed on a boat with Schwarzenegger wrapped around Champion and Champion beaming back at him.

While it’s not clear when exactly the photos were taken, the post was shared on the heels of the Met Gala on Monday, May 5. Us Weekly obtained a photo from the event that shows Schwarzenegger’s ex-girlfriend, Miley Cyrus, walking by him as both smiled, but neither acknowledged the other.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Celebrates ‘Queen’ Abby Champion on Her Birthday

Schwarzenegger and Cyrus first sparked dating rumors in 2014 when the two were spotted making out at a USC Trojans football game. They broke up the next spring after Schwarzenegger appeared in photos doing body shots off a bikini-clad female friend during spring break. He denied anything further happened between him and the friend.

“Omg. It’s one of my best friends girlfriend,” he tweeted at the time. “Would NEVER do anything against my GF…. Girls have guy friends and guys have friends that are girls.”

The son of Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver then began dating Champion in 2016 and proposed to her in December 2023. Patrick has spoken in the past about wanting to give Champion her dream wedding.

“As I’ve learned, the role is just to make sure that she’s happy, just whatever she wants to do,” he told GQ in September 2024. “I’m happy to give my opinion on things, and otherwise I’m just there to support her and make it so that she has the best day that she wants. That’s really my job.”

Who Is Patrick Schwarzenegger’s Fiancee Abby Champion? 5 Things to Know

The White Lotus star, who posed on the Met Gala carpet with castmate Aimee Lou Wood, added in a January 2025 interview with InStyle that the two are in no rush to tie the knot.

“We’ve been together [for] 10 years, so it’s like we’re basically married,” he said. “But we’re better as humans together than we would be apart. We bring out the best in each other. I feel that I’m the best version of myself with her and I think she does as well.”

3 Underrated HBO and Max Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

9 May 2025 at 12:00

HBO is the primary destination for movie fans. It’s been that way since 1972, when the company first launched, and it remains true in 2025.

Max is no different. As HBO’s and WB’s dedicated streamer, it has access to a library full of classic shows like The Sopranos and movies like Batman.

There’s so much content that it’s often hard to figure out what to watch over the weekend. Watch With Us has selected three underrated movies that are worth your time and attention.

So if you’re in the mood for a terrific war drama, an Adam Sandler comedy or a quiet drama set in Brooklyn, then this list is for you.

‘A Private War’ (2018)

Marie Colvin (Rosamund Pike) is an American photojournalist who isn’t afraid of getting injured to get the shot she wants. That’s clear early on when she loses an eye while on an assignment in Sri Lanka. But there’s only so much war one person can take, and Marie’s PTSD threatens to derail her career and her personal life. Can she get the help she needs to cover an important assignment? And even if she does, can she escape death one more time to snap that one perfect shot?

3 Underrated Amazon Prime Video Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

A Private War is a biopic about a subject who is almost too interesting to be true. But Marie Colvin was a real person, and her passion for her work is what makes the movie so fascinating to watch. Pike portrays her as a rational woman who sometimes does irrational things for her art, and her story is both inspirational and cautionary. It’s a terrific performance that wasn’t really recognized at the time, and it deserves more attention and praise all these years later.

A Private War is streaming on Max.

‘Funny People’ (2009)

George Simmons (Adam Sandler) is a Hollywood movie star who finds out he has cancer. Convinced he’s going to die, he decides to return to his first love — stand-up comedy. He meets and quickly befriends Ira (Seth Rogen), who is still looking for his big break. Together, the two men will help each other achieve their dreams, but will an unexpected development, plus George’s attempts to win his ex-wife Laura (Leslie Mann) back, get in their way?

Funny People is Sandler in serious mode, which isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. It’s not as weird —or good — as Punch-Drunk Love or Uncut Gems, but it’s far better than Spaceman. Sandler and Rogen are a good comedic duo, and their scenes together are some of the movie’s best. Funny People wasn’t a huge success when it was first released in 2009, but it’s richer and better than most people give it credit for.

Funny People is streaming on Max.

‘Little Men’ (2016)

When 13-year-old introvert Jake (Theo Taplitz) moves into a Brooklyn brownstone his dad recently inherited, he gradually befriends fellow tenant Tony (Michael Barbieri), who shares Jake’s age but little else. The two boys become inseparable, but when Jake’s dad, Brian (Greg Kinnear), increases the rent and pressures Tony’s mom to either pay or leave, their relationship becomes strained. Can Jake convince his father to let Tony and his family stay, or will he lose the only friend he’s ever had if Tony leaves?

18 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

Little Men is a quiet drama that focuses on the small, everyday problems of New Yorkers just trying to get by. Brian isn’t a villain — he has to increase the building’s rent to fund his son’s education. It’s rare for a movie to focus on the friendship between two teenage boys without devolving into sophomoric humor, but Little Men is a special kind of movie. Rather than go for cheap laughs or obvious insights, the film is more concerned about the complexities of human behavior rather than making any grand statement.

Nelly and Ashanti Are Getting a Newlyweds-Themed Reality Show

9 May 2025 at 11:40

Nelly and Ashanti are giving fans an inside look at their love story with an upcoming reality show.

Peacock announced on Friday, May 9, that an unscripted series titled Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together has been greenlit. The show will follow Nelly, 50, and Ashanti’s journey as they tackle life as a newly married couple.

The press release teased that Nelly and Ashanti, 44, will “reignite their love, navigate the ups and downs of newlywed life and the challenges of parenthood while juggling their thriving careers.” Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together will also be a “fun-filled exploration of love’s second chances.”

In addition to starring in the show, Nelly and Ashanti will serve as executive producers.

Nelly Says He Married Ashanti So She Wouldn't Be a 'Baby Mama'

Nelly & Ashanti: We Belong Together is scheduled to premiere in June.

Ashanti and Nelly have a lot of history. The pair were first linked in 2003 after meeting at the Grammy Awards. They dated off and on until 2013. After a decade apart, they rekindled their romance, making it official in October 2023.

Two months later, Us Weekly broke the news that Ashanti was pregnant with her and Nelly’s first child. (Nelly is father to daughter Chanelle, 31, and son Cornell, 26, whom he welcomed with ex Channetta Valentine. He also adopted late sister Jaqueline Donahue’s two children — Sydney, 27, and Shawn, 26, — following her death from cancer in 2005.)

In December 2023, Nelly and Ashanti tied the knot. At the time, Ashanti gushed about how excited she was to embark on this new chapter of her life.

“This new year of my life is such a blessing full of love, hope and anticipation,” she told Essence in April 2024. “Motherhood is something that I have looked forward to.”

Nelly and Ashanti welcomed son Kareem in July 2024. The “Hot in Herre” rapper later confessed that marriage wasn’t on his mind initially but her pregnancy sparked the idea.

Pregnant Ashanti and Boyfriend Nelly's Relationship Timeline

“We hadn’t talked about it yet,” Nelly said during a March episode of “The Bootleg Kev” podcast. “We hadn’t talked about any of that yet. I was like, ‘Yo, let’s just knock this out because we’re going to be doing so much and everything’s going to be moving so fast.’ I didn’t want her to be a ‘baby mama.’”

Seven months after giving birth, Ashanti surprised Nelly by paying tribute to him while he was honored with the Landmark Award at the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards in March.

“[Nelly] created a movement, shaped the culture and made history doing it,” Ashanti said of her partner. “I’m so proud to honor Country Grammar and the talented guy who made it!”

RHOC’s Lydia Plans to Sue After Brother Was Shot 6 Times by Police

9 May 2025 at 11:37

The Real Housewives of Orange County alum Lydia McLaughlin and her family are planning to take legal action following the death of her brother Geoffrey Stirling.

According to attorney James S. Terrell — who is representing McLaughlin, 44, as well as her father Scott Stirling and brother Jesse Stirling — the family is exploring their legal options against the city of Newport Beach and its police department, as well as the officer involved with the shooting.

“All the family wants is to find out what happened to their brother and their son,” Terrell exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, May 8. “Next thing they want to see is if they can get justice for him and not just for him but for everyone like him and pulled over in a similar situation.”

According to Terrell, the family has already contacted a police policy and practices expert who has reviewed the dash cam footage. They also plan to file a governmental court claim in California in order to bring a lawsuit against the city and police department.

The family has also conducted an independent autopsy, according to attorney Sharon Brunner, who is also working with the Stirling family.

“Initial impressions are that he bled out so we know that is an issue,” Brunner said. “There is concern about if there were shots to his back.”

“The family is totally devastated and totally crushed,” Terrell added. “It’s bigger than this wonderful young man who their family loved. The only way to get what really happened is through the court system.”

On Wednesday, May 7, the Newport Beach Police Department released a criminal incident community briefing video — including body cam footage — detailing the events surrounding an officer-involved shooting that occurred on April 17 with Geoffrey.

“The Newport Beach Police Department remains committed to transparency and accountability in all of its operations,” said the department in a statement. “The release of this video is part of our ongoing efforts to keep the community informed and engaged.”

In the briefing video, Sergeant Steve Oberon explained that an officer-involved shooting occurred after “Mr. Stirling struck the officer several times in the head and then removed the officer’s taser from his duty belt.”

Dash cam footage viewed by Us Weekly showed an officer asking Geoffrey to sit on the curb away from his motorcycle after being pulled over for allegedly running a red light.

“I don’t want to sit down or come here,” Geoffrey replied before trying to reach for his own ID. “Don’t shoot me.”

When the officer appeared to turn his back briefly to get on his radio, Geoffrey seemingly lunged toward him before an altercation between the parties occurred.

At one point, Geoffrey seemingly grabbed the cop’s taser and pointed it at the cop. The officer then shot him six times, according to the Stirling family. Geoffrey was later transported to a hospital where he died at the age of 45.

In the briefing video, Chief Dave Miner shared that with all officer-involved shootings, “an independent agency will conduct their own independent investigation.”

After viewing the body cam footage, Terrell said his clients believe the officer could have handled the situation differently.

“[The officer] already had backup coming to him, [so] why did he go aggressively on him?” Terrell asked. “Escalating it and charging him is not using his skills and tools he’s trained to do. He had help coming, he didn’t need to attack him. There are so many things he could have done.”

Terrell believes the officer could have maced Geoffrey or taken a taser out himself and asked the individual to “stand right there and wait.”

“You can hear a siren, his backup is coming,” Terrell added. “That would have been a good thing to do. They had some dialogue and sometimes that is all you need. Running over to him is escalating. It’s win or lose when you do that, and it’s not a good option. It’s a very bad option.”

“Oversimplifying it would be he didn’t comply and had the taser possibly in his hand and was using it as a threat to the officer,” Brunner continued.

Former ‘Real Housewives of Orange County’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

“Based on the first interaction with the officer, [Geoffrey] was not acting normal. The officer clued in something was happening,” she said, adding he called for assistance. “The first one to escalate physical contact was definitely the officer.”

On Sunday, May 4, McLaughlin and her family laid Geoffrey to rest at a private memorial service. The intimate burial service came six months after McLaughlin mourned the death of her mom Judy Stirling from a private battle with cancer.

🪽 My heart is broken, and the shock still hasn’t settled 💔,” McLaughlin wrote via Instagram on Monday, May 5. “But even in the sorrow, I cling to what I know is true: God is good. He is in control. I am not. My brother is now with my mom, and I hold onto the promise that one day, we’ll all be reunited. Until then, I will miss them every single day. 💫🕊🤍🙏🏼.”

Diddy's Lawyers Plan to Accuse Cassie of Domestic Violence During Trial

9 May 2025 at 11:32

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyers say they plan to accuse his ex-girlfriend Cassie of domestic violence during his sex trafficking trial.

Reuters reported that Diddy’s defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo said during a jury selection hearing in a New York City court on Friday, May 9, that he would attempt to undercut Cassie’s credibility by referring to allegations of mutual violence during her relationship with the mogul. (Diddy and Cassie were together off and on between 2007 and 2018.)

“I think we’re probably going to refer to that as domestic violence,” Agnifilo told the court.

U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian indicated that he would decide next Monday, May 12, whether allegations of domestic violence could be admissible during the trial.

Cassie, 38, is expected to be called by the prosecution to testify as a star witness as Diddy faces charges of racketeering conspiracy, two counts of sex trafficking and two counts of transportation for prostitution. Diddy, 55, has denied all allegations.

Cassie’s representatives declined to comment to Us Weekly about Agnifilo’s latest court statements.

In May 2024, CNN aired security camera footage appearing to show Diddy assaulting Cassie (full name Casandra Ventura) at the now-closed InterContinental Hotel in Los Angeles in 2016. Diddy responded to the footage’s release with a public apology.

“It’s difficult to reflect on the darkest times in your life, sometimes you gotta do that,” Diddy said days after the video’s release. “I was f***ed up. I mean, I hit rock bottom but I make no excuses. My behavior on that video is inexcusable. I take full responsibility for my actions in that video. I’m disgusted.”

He continued, “I went and sought out professional help. I’ve been going to therapy, going to rehab. Had to ask God for his mercy and grace. I’m so sorry, but I’m committed to being a better man each and every day. I’m not asking for forgiveness. I’m truly sorry.”

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 on charges including sex trafficking and racketeering, with jury selection beginning for his trial in New York City on Monday, May 5. The pretrial hearings have already been eventful, as one prospective juror was dismissed after admitting she’d once fainted after a teacher brought up the topic of oral sex.

The “Coming Home” rapper surprised court observers by appearing at his hearing with a beard and hair that had gone fully gray. While hair dye is not allowed at the Metropolitan Detention Center where Diddy is being held, jury consultant Alan Tuerkheimer told Us Weekly exclusively that Diddy may have deliberately taken on a new look.

“There is no doubt he is letting his hair go gray purposefully,” Tuerkheimer told Us. “The hope is that, given the lascivious nature of some of the alleged acts he participated in, the jury sees a more seasoned and grown-up version of his former self.”

The jury expert also theorized that Diddy’s choice to go gray could be interpreted as a sign of “remorse,” given the serious nature of the sex trafficking and racketeering charges he’s facing.

“It is a way to convey remorse without any kind of admission of fault or wrongdoing,” he added. “This is a more mature and gentler individual. Many of these assessments of a defendant take place subconsciously, as jurors process his entire appearance.”

What Diddy Is Eating Behind Bars on His 55th Birthday

Several celebrities have been mentioned during the early jury selection process. While some stars mentioned — such as rapper Kanye West, Cassie’s ex-boyfriend Kid Cudi and former Danity Kane member Dawn Richard — have personal or professional connections to Diddy, it’s not clear why jurors were asked about their familiarity with former Saturday Night Live star Mike Myers or former Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams.

Diddy has been held in a federal detention center in Brooklyn since his arrest last year.

Jury selection for the case is set to be finalized as early as Monday. Judge Subramanian has projected that the trial will last around eight weeks.

PK Kemsley Files for Joint Custody of 2 Kids Amid Dorit Kemsley Divorce

9 May 2025 at 11:24

Dorit and PK Kemsley’s ongoing divorce just got a bit messier.

PK, 57, filed for joint custody of their two kids — son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8 — on Friday, May 9, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. He also waived his right to spousal support, asking the court to terminate Dorit’s request and asked that both parties pay their own attorney fees. (Page Six was first to report the news.)

Friday’s filing comes exactly two weeks after Dorit, 48, filed for divorce from PK on April 25. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly at the time confirmed that The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split. She also asked for sole legal and physical custody of their two kids and requested spousal support.

Dorit and PK announced their separation in May 2024, sharing a joint statement on Instagram at the time.

“We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage,” they wrote, in part, at the time. “We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together.”

Dorit and PK Kemsley Appear to Ignore Each Other At Son’s Baseball Game

Their decision to split was a focal point of RHOBH season 14, which came to an end last month. While the show was filming, Dorit played coy about pulling the plug on an actual divorce from PK.

However, Dorit’s divorce filing came one day after PK was spotted kissing The Amazing Race alum Shana Wall during an outing in Beverly Hills on April 24. In photos obtained by E! News at the time, the duo locked lips outside Cipriani’s restaurant.

At the time, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that Dorit reached her “last straw” before officially filing for divorce. The insider confirmed that her decision was made after PK’s kissing photos went public, however “things were already done” between them.

“Dorit and PK had promised each other if they were to see other people, they would not be so public for the children’s sake,” the source shared. “The divorce was already in the works and after the photos came out, she was ready to file.”

Dorit Kemsley Says 'Things Don't Stay Amicable' With PK on 'RHOBH'

While the duo attempted to keep things cordial as they navigated the separation, PK’s kissing photos changed things.

“They aren’t too friendly right now after the photos came out,” the source added, noting that Dorit “feels like it was calculated with the intent to hurt her. And she was hurt. She felt stabbed in the heart.”

Kate Middleton Nails High-Low Spring Dressing With a Coquettecore Twist

9 May 2025 at 11:14

You don’t have to be a royal to dress like one, as Princess Kate Middleton proved with her latest high-low ensemble at the London Horse Guards Parade on Thursday, May 8.

Middleton, 43, also offered a masterclass in poised repetition, stepping out in her beloved white Self-Portrait dress ($670) and black Chanel bag ($5,200).

The dress has a business-up-top, party-down-below design – a tailored blazer giving way to a soft, pleated cream chiffon skirt. This clever construction creates the illusion of separates, offering an unexpected contrast within a single garment and endless outfit opportunities.

The skirt’s soft, almost ethereal quality, particularly in contrast to the structured bouclé blazer, introduced an element of unexpected lightness and movement to Middleton’s typically more formal attire. While not overtly sheer, it deviated from the heavier fabrics for royal engagements.

The ‘Kate Effect’: Why the Princess' Outfits Are Such a Huge Deal 

This subtle hint of transparency felt like a subtle yet significant stylistic evolution for the Princess of Wales, demonstrating a move toward contemporary trends that still manage to feel elegant.

A signature design from the label renowned for its polished femininity has now graced the royal stage for a third time, as seen in 2021 for a reception at Buckingham Palace and in 2022 for “Party at the Palace,” a concert celebrating Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee.

Its latest reappearance underscores Middleton’s astute approach to high-street fashion, favoring investment pieces with endless versatility. Notably, the Princess of Wales also possesses the same Self-Portrait dress in classic black, further solidifying the brand’s place in her wardrobe.

This time around, Middleton imbued the familiar silhouette with a fresh twist. The princess adorned her half-up hairstyle with Jigsaw’s velvet bow ($18), which nodded to the coquettecore trend (a.k.a. the Gen Z aesthetic characterized by whimsical details, like bows, lace and pearls). It was a subtle reminder that there’s room for a little sartorial flirtation even amidst royal protocol.

The ever-chic Chanel Classic Mini Flap Bag in black quilted leather completed her ensemble. This luxurious accessory has become another consistent element in the royal’s appearances. It accompanied her during a visit to Marseille, France, in 2023, to the Festival of Remembrance in London in 2024, and more recently, during a Holocaust Memorial Day service in January 2025.

This consistent re-emergence of the iconic Chanel bag alongside pieces like the Self-Portrait dress perfectly exemplifies the Princess of Wales’ adeptness at curating an aspirational yet accessible capsule wardrobe that she can rely on year after year – and we’re taking notes.

Hilary Duff Gushes Husband Matthew Koma Is 'So Hands-On' With Their Kids

9 May 2025 at 11:04

Hilary Duff admits she’s currently “in the thick” of parenting but she’s surviving — and maybe thriving — thanks, in part, to her husband, Matthew Koma.

“Oh, [he’s] the best. Are you kidding?” Duff, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly of Koma, also 37, at the Baby2Baby Mother’s Day Celebration presented by Crate & Kids in Los Angeles on Thursday, May 8.

“My friends in town right now from Toronto, and I haven’t seen her for a year, and we wanted to get a workout in. So I was like, ‘We’re gonna do a 7 a.m. workout. You got the kids?’ And he’s like, ‘I’m on it. I got the kids.’ He packed lunches and made breakfast and got everybody dressed and drove them to school. Like, he’s in it.”

She added of the Winnetka Bowling League singer-songwriter, “He’s so hands-on, and then he’s also my best friend. We get in bed and just download information to each other at night, and it’s for fun. We’re really in the thick of it right now.”

Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma’s Relationship Timeline

Duff and Koma share three daughters, Banks, 6, Mae, 4, and Townes, 1, as well as her son Luca, 13, with ex-husband Mike Comrie.

“It’s pretty chaotic,” Duff said of her day-to-day life. “I’m an overworked mom. You know what I mean? I’m tired. I get into [bed] at night and I stare at the wall, like, ‘What’s happened to me? What was that like?’ But it’s everything that I love, and I wanted it. All of the moments that seem really hard are fleeting and they go by fast, and then you have the next thing in front of you. There’s so much joy layered in with all of the chaos. So it’s really fun.”

Duff admitted her house is “wild” with kids ranging from babies to teenagers, but she knows one day she’s going to look back and wish she could relive it all. Still, if she could have it her way, she’d be sipping wine on a float in a childless pool this Mother’s Day.

“One of my favorite Mother’s Day[s] I went away with my friends. I had breakfast with my kids in the morning and then we went to Palm Springs, swam and drank wine. And it was lovely. But this Mother’s Day I’m gonna be home. And my husband was like, ‘Is sleeping in the new flowers?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, please don’t spend money on flowers. I don’t need flowers. I want to sleep in. I want a card and I want to go out to a nice lunch.’ And so, I’m sure halfway through the lunch I’ll be like, ‘Why did we try to go out?’ But we’re gonna try. We’re gonna give it a fighting effort.”

Duff gave back to her L.A. community at the Baby2Baby event presented by Crate & Kids — which provided diapers, formula, hygiene products, clothing, groceries and other critical items to mothers and children who were impacted by January’s wildfires. The actress volunteered her time alongside the likes of Jordana Brewster to help distribute basic essentials to families and also shower moms with special gifts including skincare, robes, makeup, flowers, diaper bags and pampering experiences.

“I love Baby2Baby. They do such good work, all over the country — their reach is just so expansive. And the way that they get us involved, it’s just so rewarding, really,” Duff said of the nonprofit organization, which she’s been working with for nearly a decade. “Every time I get a call, I’m like, ‘If I can, I will, of course. I’m there.’ I love working with them. I love that you get to have contact with the actual mothers or families that are affected by whatever is going on. It just puts a lot into perspective and you always leave just feeling like you are so appreciative for your life, and appreciative for what they’re doing and their dedication to helping families.”

Hilary Duff and Matthew Koma Are Stronger Than Ever in 4th Year of Marriage

Duff was so impressed by all the mothers at the event who lost their homes in the Eaton fire in Southern California, yet still found the strength to keep going for their children and families.

“Getting to have little conversations with them,” she began, “It’s positive. It’s wild. It’s really wild. They’re all displaced. They all have little kids, multiple little kids, you know? And they’re like, ‘Well, this happened to my whole community,’ and they’re starting to see the light, and it’s really beautiful.”

She added, “I was just talking to someone about [how] you never really get a break when you’re a mom. You know what I mean? These moms have their kids dressed so nicely and they throw their hair up in a clip, and you could tell the mom is the last thought. You know? I’m always covered in stains. I try. I don’t know why I wear nice clothes anymore, but that’s just what it is. It’s not perfect. It’s real.”

“Motherhood is such a community, and it’s a wild ride. I’m grateful to be part of the crew,” Duff insisted.

10 Celebrities Facing Hair Loss, and What They Use To Fight It

9 May 2025 at 11:01

While many of Hollywood’s finest have gone under the knife to fix a receding hair line, not everyone wants to undergo a hair transplant. But if your appearance is your job, you have to take it seriously — not everyone can be Jason Statham. So which celebrities are fighting hair loss, and what do they use?

We’ve rounded up which celebrities have opened up about hair loss, and the kinds of products they use to slow the process. From Regenix to Nioxin, there are a wide range of products they’ve used that might ultimately help you, too.

Celebrities Facing Hair Loss, and What They Use To Fight It

1. JLo: Love don’t cost a thing for Jennifer Lopez, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t experience hair thinning like everyone else! The singer and actor is a fan of the supplement Minoxidil, which she gets from telehealth provider Hers. According to Yahoo! Life, she’s been using it for a very long time… so clearly, it’s paying off!

2. Matthew McConaughey: Alright, alright alright. Mr. McConaughey has basically been a walking ad for the hair growth product, Regenix, since 1999. According to Healthline, Regenix contains natural ingredients like plant extracts, tea tree oil and rosemary. It also has no side effects, which is a welcome difference when compared to many of the alternatives on this list.

3. Alyssa Milano: TV star Alyssa Milano is a major proponent of Nioxin’s System 1 Kit. According to Shape, Milano started balding as a result of COVID-19. But she says this three-step system, which includes a shampoo, conditioner and foam, really helped make her hair look thicker and healthier than ever.

4. Sharon Stone: Regardless of her hair situation, 67-year-old Sharon Stone is a natural beauty. But she credits the current state of her hair to Augustus Bader Leave-In Treatment. According to InStyle, she experienced hair loss after suffering from a stroke. However, after using product for a while, she says it really brought her hair back to what it once was.

5. Jennifer Garner: Jennifer Garner is forever “13 going on 30,” but the 53-year-old actor has faced serious hair thinning over the years. However, she’s since overcome by regularly using Virtue Flourish Hair Thinning Density Booster Spray. According to Yahoo! Shopping, she considers it “the biggest hair innovation for thinning hair in years and years.”

6. Rob Kardashian: Yes, even the Kardashians experience hair thinning. Rob Kardashian says Viviscal helped thicken his hair after he had previously experienced hair loss. It’s more of a dietary supplement than a drug, so if side effects are a concern, this may be the option for you.

7. Lala Anthony: Actor and entrepreneur Lala Anthony has been extremely open about her hair journey. But Inala Power Potion was ultimately the answer. According to PopSugar her hair was extremely damaged, and she founded the haircare line to help others in her position. She’s reportedly had good luck with it — and has gotten her hair strength back — ever since.

8. Nicole Kidman: Australian queen Nicole Kidman has a lovely head of hair, but it hasn’t always been that way. However, she started using Vegamour Gro Hair Serum, and supposedly had great success with it. According to Yahoo! News, she’s found that Vegamour has her hair looking now much healthier and fuller than it had been.

9. Bradley Cooper: That’s right — even the most seemingly confident celebs may be experiencing hair loss, but we don’t know it. It was alleged The Hangover actor took the hair loss drug finasteride at one point, according to HuffPost UK. Cooper reportedly felt anxious about a receding hairline, so he took the oral medication to fight it. Since he still has a full head of hair, it seems like it may have worked.

10. Rumer Willis: Actor and model Rumer Willis has experienced some hair loss over the years, too. However, Nutrafol has has been a game-changer. ““I have always had a hard time with my hair in general, but ever since I found Nutrafol, things have gotten a lot better,” she said, according to New Beauty.

“My curls are back, I don’t have [balding] spots on my temples. My overall texture isn’t breaking anymore.”

3 Underrated Netflix Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

9 May 2025 at 10:45

In the first week of May, Netflix added a lot of movies to its library. The Twilight movies returned to the streamer and instantly entered Netflix’s most popular movies list for the week.

The 2024 comedy hit Beetlejuice Beetlejuice also debuted this week on Netflix after streaming exclusively on Max earlier this year. These movies all have their fans, but there are several films on Netflix that deserve more love and attention.

Among them are a recent action movie that is very similar to a ‘90s Keanu Reeves classic, a 1980s comedy that has just been remade as a limited series and a comic book adaptation starring Tilda Swinton as an androgynous angel.

‘Bullet Train Explosion’ (2025)

Mild-mannered train operator Chika Matsumoto (Non) is good at his job, but his skills are about to be tested when an anonymous caller informs his station that there’s a bomb on his train that will explode if the speed drops below 62 mph. To make matters worse, some of the train’s passengers find out about the bomb, and begin either panicking or live-streaming the drama on board. Can Chika keep the train running — and in one piece — in time for the authorities to find the person behind the bomb threats?

3 Underrated Amazon Prime Video Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

If you think Bullet Train Explosion’s plot sounds awfully familiar, you’re right. The movie is essentially Speed on a Japanese train, and it doesn’t hide it. A lot can be forgiven if a movie is good, though, and Bullet Train Explosion earns its absolution by being a fun, breezy action flick to watch on a lazy afternoon. The movie was briefly one of Netflix’s most popular movies last month, and it’s not hard to understand why.

Bullet Train Explosion is streaming on Netflix.

‘Constantine’ (2005)

When it was released in February 2005, Constantine got a lot of hate, primarily for daring to cast the very dark-haired, very American Keanu Reeves in the title role of the very blond, very British supernatural detective, John Constantine. While Reeves is miscast, that doesn’t really harm the movie, which is still as fun and freaky 20 years later.

A spear that pierced Jesus Christ is being used to unlock the gates of Hell and the only person to stop it is John Constantine (Reeves). But his time on Earth is almost over due to a nasty smoking habit that’s caused him terminal lung cancer. Constantine strikes a deal with the archangel Gabriel (Tilda Swinton) for more time to investigate, but will he find the mysterious person — and save the city — before it’s too late?

Constantine is streaming on Netflix.

‘The Four Seasons’ (1981)

Netflix just released a much-publicized series remake of the 1981 comedy, The Four Seasons, so it’s only fitting that we should recommend it. And there’s plenty to recommend here: a talented cast led by two comedy legends, a visual storytelling that embraces naturalism over glossy production values and a witty script full of tossed-off jokes and observations about love and marriage.

18 New Movies to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Max, Hulu, Amazon Prime, More

Throughout the year, three middle-class New York couples vacation together, but their tight-knit group is disrupted when one of the couples decides to divorce. It’s particularly unsettling for Jack and Kate Burroughs (Alan Alda and Carol Burnett), whose marriage isn’t as rock-solid as they initially thought. Will their union survive the changing of the four seasons?

Shirtless Jason Kelce Shows Off His 25 Pound Weight Loss at Truist Pro-Am

9 May 2025 at 10:31

Jason Kelce showed off his recent weight loss during a wardrobe malfunction at the 2025 Truist Championship pro-am. 

Kelce, 37, was shirtless while struggling to put on his polo before his round at Philadelphia Cricket Club’s Wissahickon Course on Wednesday, May 7. 

“Good start to the day,” Kelce joked while he finagled the garment in a video via Instagram posted by the PGA Tour. “Classy establishment.”

Once he finally got the shirt over his head, Kelce realized his next error. “It’s backwards,” he said, as those surrounding him broke out in laughter. 

Jason Kelce Has Cutest Response to Golfer Whose Daughter Is a Swiftie

On the practice green, somebody told Kelce, “You’ve lost a little weight.”

“I’m trying,” Kelce said, revealing he had trimmed down to 270 pounds after playing at 295 during his NFL career. 

In June 2024, three months after announcing his retirement, Kelce said he had already begun the process of getting leaner.

“Right now, I’m about 277. I’m almost 20 pounds down right now,” Kelce told GQ at the time. “It’s hard to imagine another nearly 20 pounds coming off, being honest with you. But my back already feels better. My knees already feel better. So another 20 pounds hopefully will make that much more adept at playing with my children.”

Since then, Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, welcomed their fourth daughter, Finnley “Finn,” in March 2025. Jason and Kylie, 33, also share daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 2. 

During his pro-am round on Wednesday, Jason told his partner, Irish golfer Shane Lowry, about his full house back at home.

“It’s chaos, but in the best way, though,” Jason said. 

During a candid moment in the midst of their round, Lowry, 38, asked Jason about “retired life.”

“I was talking to Tom Brady at the Super Bowl,” Jason said. “He looked at me [and said], ‘Nothing replaces playing.’”

Jason Kelce Admits He 'Forgot All About' Mother's Day After 4th Baby

That might explain why Jason is keen to golf. While walking the course on Wednesday, Jason opened up about a recent Reddit post he made, in which he attempted to source advice about his swing. 

“I thought it would be a fun video to see if Reddit could actually make me a better golfer,” Jason explained. “We’re going to give it 30 days. The main bit of advice so far that almost everybody has told me is that I’m swinging entirely too hard. And then I’m also a heavy over-the-top person through and through.”

Jason also tried getting some suggestions on his swing from PGA star Justin Thomas

“I’m trying to get better, man,” Jason told him. “[I’m] heavy over the top, don’t know if you can tell by looking at me.”

Princess Diana’s Quotes About Sons William and Harry Before Her Death

9 May 2025 at 10:30

Princess Diana was a doting mother to sons Prince William and Prince Harry before her August 1997 death.

“My childhood, I remember, was filled with laughter, filled with happiness, and filled with adventure,” Harry recalled during his 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

Harry was 12 and William was 15 when their mother died at age 36 following a car crash in Paris. Both boys spoke candidly about Diana during the 2017 HBO documentary Diana, Our Mother: Her Life and Legacy.

“I miss that feeling, I miss having that mother to give you those hugs and that compassion that everyone needs,” Harry said, in part. “Behind closed doors, she was a very loving, caring mother and an incredibly funny person. I think she lived a lot of her life, especially in private, through us and I think that childish fun element really came out when she was spending time with us.”

Keep scrolling to look back at Diana’s sweetest quotes about William and Harry before her death:

Embracing Motherhood

“Most importantly, [my role is] being a mother and a wife,” Diana declared in a 1985 interview. “That’s what I try to achieve; whether I do is another thing, but I do try.”

She also stated: “I live for my sons. I would be lost without them.”

Taking Them to School

Diana famously took her children to school, recalling the moment she sent William off for the first time in September 1985.

“I was [a little sad] because it’s opening another chapter in my life and certainly William’s,” she shared at the time. “But he’s ready for it. He’s a very independent child.”

Putting Them 1st

“I will fight for my children on any level so they can reach their potential as human beings, and in their public duties,” Diana said in a 1995 interview.

Her Advice to William

In the same 1995 interview, which aired via BBC1, Diana revealed a piece of advice she shared with her eldest son.

“I went to the school and put it to William, particularly, that if you find someone you love in life, you must hang onto it and look after it,” she said. “And if you were lucky enough to find someone who loved you, then you must protect it.”

William married Princess Kate Middleton in April 2011, and they share three kids: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Her Final Call

Diana’s longtime friend Richard Kay revealed that her last phone call with him was about William and Harry. They spoke shortly before her 1997 death.

“The police said that the last call she made was to me,” he said in a 2021 documentary, revealing that Diana was “in quite a good place,” but “she wanted to come back and see her boys.”

Why Kristen Doute Commends Stassi Schroeder for Working With LVP Again

9 May 2025 at 10:29

Kristen Doute had a surprising response to Stassi Schroeder reuniting with Lisa Vanderpump for Vanderpump Villa after their respective Vanderpump Rules exits.

During the Thursday, May 8, episode of the “Housewives Nightcap” podcast, Kristen, 42, weighed in on Stassi, 36, and Lisa’s new collaboration, saying, “No [I am not surprised] because Stassi is going to get her own show — good for her.”

Kristen understood where Stassi was coming from.

“If you have to swallow that pill to do what’s best for you, your family and for your career then get it,” Kristen added. “I commend her because I don’t know if I could have done it. I really don’t.”

Where Does the 'Pump Rules' Cast Stand With Stassi Schroeder?

She continued: “I think my ego and my pride would have taken the best of me if someone offered me something like that. So I’m like, ‘Good for you girl. Look at the bigger picture.'”

Kristen and Stassi were original cast members on Vanderpump Rules when it debuted in 2013. They were both fired in June 2020 due to past racially insensitive behavior toward former costar Faith Stowers. Kristen broke her silence on the scandal one month later.

“I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned is that I have so much to learn,” she said on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast in July 2020. “I know that’s super cliché and a lot of people say that, but it’s absolutely true, because I think that I thought that I understood racism, but now I’m really learning about unconscious bias. Learning about anti-racism. Learning about how we can do things locally to really truly make changes and putting work into your community locally to make those changes I think [are] so important.”

Stassi later addressed the “huge” mistakes that led to her departure from Bravo. “Just imagine making a terrible mistake, but one that has nothing to do with how good you are at your job. And one that doesn’t truly reflect who you are,” she wrote in her 2022 memoir, Off With My Head. “You’re told to stay quiet. You’re already ashamed of the mistake you made. You already want to fix it. But on top of that, every single person you know or have ever met knows about this mistake.”

Kristen has since made her reality TV return with The Valley, which is currently airing its second season and also stars VPR alums Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright.

Stassi, meanwhile, was at the center of season 2 of Lisa’s Hulu series Vanderpump Villa. Stassi additionally signed a larger deal with Hulu that includes her own show, Stassi Says. The half-hour docucomedy is currently in development.

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast: Then and Now

Despite both returning to the reality TV space, Kristen and Stassi have not remained as close as they were in the past.

“The last time I talked to her [was] like a year ago. When [Luke Broderick and I] had our pregnancy loss, she was texting me pretty often and being very loving,” Kristen, who is currently expecting a baby with fiancé Luke Broderick, told Alex Baskin on a January episode of his “Bravo’s Hot Mic” podcast. “It was the way I think she just naturally is, especially because we were in each other’s lives and were very close for so long.”

The former costars interacted once more after that. “Since then — as of today — we haven’t spoken since her anniversary [with husband Beau Clark],” Kristen added. “I texted her and she was like, ‘Oh, you introduced us.'”

Kristen clarified there is “no hate” between her and Stassi, saying, “It’s just how people grow apart. She has two kids and a huge taxing career that keeps her very busy. She has a husband and she has a different group of friends.”

The New Pope Is Just Like Us! 6 Reasons Why

9 May 2025 at 10:24

When Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost was elected as the 267th pope of the Roman Catholic Church on Thursday, May 8 — taking the name Pope Leo XIV and making history as the first-ever pope from America — our Stars: They’re Just Us! team had just one question: How Just Like Us is the new pope?

There were some good signs: Reverend Mark Francis, a friend of Prevost since the 1970s, described his pal as a solid supporter of his predecessor Pope Francis’ commitment to social justice issues. “He was always friendly and warm and remained a voice of common sense and practical concerns for the poor,” Reverend Francis told Reuters.

Fortunately, we’ve uncovered even more evidence that Pope Leo, 69, is indeed a pontiff of the people.

Scroll on for examples of what makes him so refreshingly relatable:

He Plays Word Games!

While preparing for the voting sessions at the Sistine Chapel, Pope Leo distracted himself from the stress by playing online word games with his brother John Prevost.

“First we do Wordle because this is a regular thing, then we do Words with Friends,” John told NBC News. “It’s something to keep his mind of life in the real world.”

If 2024’s Oscar-nominated drama Conclave helped you understand the papal election process, you’re in good company: John revealed that he asked his brother if he’d watched the fictional drama — which stars Ralph Fiennes as a cardinal who organizes his eligible cohorts to elect the next pope — in order to prepare. The answer was yes! “And he had just finished watching the movie Conclave, so he knew how to behave,” John said. But will the new Pope leave a Letterboxd review?

He Loves Charlie Brown and Snoopy!

In May of 2020, Pope Leo (under his @drprevost handle) reposted a Peanuts panel meme to X. The comic strip (written in Spanish) depicted a conversation between Charlie Brown and his beloved dog, Snoopy, as they enjoyed a lake view while sitting on a pier. Charlie asked, “Snoopy the Dog, there are a lot of smart people?” — and Snoopy cleverly replied, “Of course there are, but most of them are asymptomatic!” (We take it that Pope Leo is a dog person!)

He’s a Baseball Fan!

Pope Leo is a Chicago native, which leads to the inevitable question of which hometown Major League Baseball team he prefers. So, does the new Pope root for the Cubs or the White Sox? It looks like the Sox win this one: According to his brother, the current pope has “never, ever been a Cubs fan.”

“I don’t know where that came from,” John told local outlet WGN. “He was always a Sox fan.”

Paul Pierce Walks 20 Miles to FOX Studios After Celtics’ Playoff Loss

9 May 2025 at 10:16

Paul Pierce is a man of his word.

The Boston Celtics legend and current NBA analyst walked 20 miles from his home to the Fox Sports studio after his former team lost Game 2 of its Eastern Conference Semifinals series against the New York Knicks.

Pierce, 47, promised to make the trip on foot after the Celtics blew a 20-point lead to the Knicks in Game 1, dropping the series opener at home.

“If the Celtics lose Game 2 at home, I’m walking here tomorrow, 15 miles!” he said on TV after the game. “In my robe, no shoes on, barefoot. … Put the house on this game.”

He added that fans had a better chance of “seeing a dinosaur” outside than the Celtics losing Game 2.

Amazingly, the Celtics blew another 20-point lead in Game 2 as the Knicks escaped with a 91-90 win.

Pierce began his trek — robe and all — on Thursday morning, May 8, documenting the walk for his followers via Instagram.

“Alright, time for me to get to steppin,” he said in his first post, around 5 a.m. ET.

He continued to update followers on his progress, stopping along the way to take pictures with fans, do some sponsored content for DoorDash, say hi to friends and ask followers who may encounter him on the street to bring water.

Pierce arrived at the studio at 12:38 p.m., confidently promising, “I’m never doing this again.”

His Fox colleagues even had an inflatable dinosaur waiting for him, causing him to joke, “I guess they’re real.”

Speak, the show he hosts on FS1 with Keyshawn Johnson and Joy Taylor, had some fun at Pierce’s expense. The show shared video of Pierce entering the studio in a wheelchair as the Curb Your Enthusiasm theme played in the background and fans waved Celtics-colored pom-poms lining his path.

“I made it, y’all,” Pierce proudly declared as he approached the desk.

Pierce also shared screenshots of his phone from his journey, which showed the path he took on the 20.2-mile walk, which took him eight hours and two minutes. He took 33,465 steps along the way, according to another screenshot.

One day later, Pierce seems to be feeling the effects. He posted, “Damn my feet huuuuuurt,” via X on Friday afternoon.

The Knicks vs. Celtics series now shifts to New York City as the two teams will square off in Game 3 Saturday afternoon at 3:30 p.m. ET.

3 Underrated Netflix Shows to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

9 May 2025 at 10:00

For the second weekend of the month, Netflix’s most popular shows include wildly different series that have almost nothing in common with each other.

But that also illustrates the strength of Netflix‘s programming, where even a South African revenge thriller can become one of the top 10 shows worldwide.

The Watch With Us team has put together our choices for the three underrated shows to watch this weekend.

This week’s picks include an emotionally moving update of a classic young adult novel, the second season of a Netflix original and a horror show on loan from AMC.

5 Great New Netflix Shows to Watch in May 2025

‘Forever’ (2025)

If you’ve ever read Judy Blume‘s 1975 YA novel Forever, then you might get the gist of this newly released Netflix series. But Blume’s beloved novel has been completely re-imagined by showrunner Mara Brock Akil into a modern love story between two Black teenagers, Justin Edwards (Michael Cooper Jr.) and Keisha Clark (Lovie Simone).

Justine and Keisha both come from loving homes, and they’re both high school athletes with bright futures. They also feel the weight of the relentless pressure to live up to the expectations that have been placed upon them. It’s hard for Keisha and Justin to figure out what they really want to do with their lives when they’ve got the weight of the world on their shoulders. Sometimes those outside pressures push them away from each other. But they always seem to find their way back together, even as the end of high school threatens to end their blossoming romance.

Forever is streaming on Netflix.

‘Unseen’ (2023 – Present)

In the first season of Unseen, Zenzi Mwale (Gail Mabalane) was hellbent on finding her husband after his disappearance. Failing that, Zenzi went on a rampage through South Africa’s criminal underworld to get her revenge. She was literally talked off a ledge at the end of last season, but Unseen season 2 finds her trapped in prison and portrayed as a serial killer by the media.

3 Must-Watch TV Shows Coming to Netflix in May 2025

Although Zenzi’s future seems pretty bleak, she has a chance to earn her freedom if she cooperates in an investigation of Andrew Harting (Frank Rautenbach), a corrupt South African billionaire who may remind you of some prominent real-life billionaire who is also from South Africa. The odds are stacked against Zenzi, but now she has a reason to live again if she can see this mission through to the end.

Unseen is streaming on Netflix.

‘The Terror’ (2018 – Present)

There are three seasons of The Terror, each with its own standalone horror story. Season 3 will premiere on AMC later this year, but Netflix only has the first season of the acclaimed series. In 1846, two British ships, the HMS Erebus and the HMS Terror, set out for the Arctic under the command of Sir John Franklin (Ciarán Hinds) and Francis Crozier (Jared Harris). The expedition was supposed to travel through the Northwest Passage, but too much ice stranded both ships for the winter.

When winter passes, the ships remain stuck. But now the men are turning on each other, supplies are low, and there may be a supernatural monster preying upon the remaining crew members. You’ll have to watch the show to learn more about the monster, but regardless of its origins, it’s a very real threat to the survival of the two crews.

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez Slash $8 Million From Beverly Hills Mansion

9 May 2025 at 09:38

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have slashed the price on their Beverly Hills mansion following their split.

Us Weekly can confirm that the listing price for the sprawling home — which has 12 bedrooms and 24 bathrooms — was reduced from $68 million to $59.9 million in recent real estate listings. (People was the first to report the price reduction.)

While the price tag is still hefty, Affleck and Lopez’s 38,000-square-foot house features a tennis court, a boxing ring and athletics facility, and a 5,000-square-foot guest penthouse. The property includes a separate caretaker’s residence and a 12-car garage, with parking options for up to 80 people as well.

Us Weekly exclusively reported that Affleck, 52, and Lopez, 55, purchased the Beverly Hills mansion for $60.8 million in June 2023 — which means they’d take a loss of more than $800,00 if it sells for $59.9 million. Us also reported in April that the pair were at odds over selling their Beverly Hills property because Lopez was resistant to reducing the price.

“Jennifer thinks they can get more money for the home, so she wants to keep the price as is,” a source exclusively told Us. “But the real estate market is not there, and it’s not selling.”

In March, property records indicated that Lopez purchased a new home in the Los Angeles area as she navigated her split from Affleck. The Hustlers actress filed for divorce from Affleck in August 2024 on the two-year anniversary of their Georgia marriage celebration. (The former couple legally tied the knot in Las Vegas in July 2022 and held a reception for their family and friends in Georgia the following month.)

Lopez reflected on the difficulty she faced over the past year — and how she addressed it with her and ex husband Marc Anthony’s children, Emme and Max, both 17 — in a recent interview.

“I had a really tough year. Unexpected things happened. And so, I read a lot of books. I did a lot of self-introspection,” the singer, 55 told El País. “I did meditation. I prayed a lot. I wanted to improve my relationship with God. I wanted to kind of really solidify the family unit that is me and my two children, my twins.”

She went on, “[I told the kids], ‘I promise you, this is a difficult time, but you’re going to see that I’ll come out the other side stronger and better.’ I promised them that and I did it. And they feel it now. That gives me a great sense of peace in my life.”

Meanwhile, Affleck offered a light-hearted response to being called “Hollywood’s most eligible bachelor” by a photographer while out to dinner in Los Angeles this week. He joked that he felt “muy bien” — which translates from Spanish to English to “very good” — about his eligible bachelor status and insisted that he “of course” was still open to dating Latina women.

Affleck also recently shared that he felt “a lot of empathy” and kinship with Britney Spears over the difficulty they’d both faced in the limelight. (Spears spent 13 years under a conservatorship until it was terminated in November 2021, while Affleck has undergone several high-profile romantic splits and has been on a longterm sobriety journey.)

“I can remember a long time ago, years and years ago, I really had a lot of empathy for Britney Spears,” Affleck said on Theo Von’s “This Past Weekend” podcast in May. “That’s not somebody [who] I knew or hung out with, but you see all this s*** that comes through. Having had my own experiences myself, I knew that these are people following her around in a time where she may or may not be having difficulty.”

The Accountant 2 actor added, “I don’t know her, but I do know that the cycle of having people harang you and yell at you and hassle you and follow you, it seemed like that itself was whipping up the whole thing into a tizzy. They’re, kind of, poking a stick at it. That’s the first time I thought, ‘This is a weird, kind of, unintentional culturally, but [also] collective cruelty,’ where what’s taken out of the image that you see are the people around you waving the stick at the tiger and all you see is the growling animal.”

3 Underrated Peacock Movies to Watch This Weekend (May 9-11)

9 May 2025 at 09:30

It’s Mother’s Day weekend, so it’s only fitting that the Watch With Us team has been on the lookout for some appropriate movie choices for this weekend.

Peacock actually has one of the many movies that share the name Mother’s Day, but we found two better examples for this week’s movie picks.

One of the three underrated Peacock movies to watch this weekend explores the relationship between a mother and her adult children, while another focuses on a mother and her young daughter.

But if you’re looking for an action comedy to enjoy during the unofficial holiday weekend, Ke Huy Quan‘s Love Hurts has just made its streaming premiere on Peacock.

8 Must-Watch Movies on Peacock Right Now (May 2025)

‘Love Hurts’ (2025)

Ke Huy Quan’s comeback hit a little snag when Love Hurts didn’t do very well in theaters. But it’s worth a second look now that it’s streaming. Quan plays Marvin Gable, a man who has already paid a high price for love. He fell hard for Rose Carlisle (Ariana DeBose), a lawyer he was supposed to kill. Instead of seeing that contract through, Marvin walked away from his life as an assassin and reinvented himself as a real estate agent, even though it alienated his brother, Alvin “Knuckles” Gable (Daniel Wu).

As far as Knuckles is concerned, Marvin betrayed the family when he turned his back on him. When Rose makes contact with Marvin, Knuckles sends assassins to get her location from him so he can finish the job. Instead of intimidating Marvin, these killers drag him back into the life he left behind and towards an inevitable showdown with Knuckles.

Love Hurts is streaming on Peacock.

‘I’ll Be Right There’ (2024)

The SopranosEdie Falco takes the lead in I’ll Be Right There, a drama in which her character, Wanda Jeannie, is constantly attending to her adult children, Mark (Charlie Tahan) and Grace (Jeannie Berlin), to help them fix the problems in their lives that they can’t handle themselves — which happens a lot.

Wanda has spread herself so thin that not even having two different lovers, Marshall (Michael Rapaport) and Sophie (Sepideh Moafi), is emotionally fulfilling. Wanda needs to find some balance in her life that won’t let her children dominate her time. But she just can’t seem to bring herself to fight that battle.

I’ll Be Right There is streaming on Peacock.

‘Proxima’ (2019)

Eva Green is an actress who can pull off almost any role, and she’s once again mesmerizing to watch in Proxima. Green portrays Sarah Loreau, a woman who is on the cusp of achieving her dream of being an astronaut by training to spend a year on the International Space Station. However, the price of Sarah’s ambition is that she will be separated from her young daughter, Stella (Zélie Boulant-Lemesle), for the entire journey.

Stella really doesn’t make Sarah’s plans easy for her, and the emotional toll is weighing the worried mother down while her astronaut team leader, Mike Shannon (Matt Dillon), treats her with open hostility. Sarah can handle the intense training and unfair boss, but can she reconcile her relationship with her daughter before it becomes irreparably fractured?

HSN Reveals Which Hosts Are Leaving Shopping Network Before Studio Move

9 May 2025 at 09:16

HSN viewers are preparing to say goodbye to a few of their favorite shopping buddies.

On Friday, May 9, the home shopping network announced several hosts will be leaving ahead of the company’s big move to Pennsylvania.

“Over the coming months, we will be saying farewell to Natasha Lloyd, Helen Keaney, Amy Morrison, Lynn Murphy, Marlo Smith, Valerie Stup, Rebecca Vargas, Michelle Yarn and Guy Yovan,” HSN wrote via Facebook. “We will also have new faces joining our talented team of hosts and we look forward to introducing them to you soon!”

Back in January, HSN announced its headquarters would be leaving St. Petersburg, Florida, after nearly 50 years.

QVC’s Most Memorable Hosts: Where Are They Now?

Hosts and staffers would be able to relocate with sister network QVC to West Chester, Pennsylvania, which is home to their parent company, Qurate Retail.

At the time, Qurate said the consolidation is part of a shift to focus on “live social shopping” under the rebrand of QVC Group. HSN and QVC, however, will still operate as separate brands.

While some hosts may be departing, HSN confirmed several familiar faces will be staying with the network.

“As we gear up to go live at our new studios in West Chester, PA, we’re thrilled to announce that Sarah Anderson, Debbie Denmon, Adam Freeman, Nicole Hickl, Tamara Hooks, Tina Jennings, Emily Lampa, Ty Mayberry, Callie Northagen, Suzanne Runyan and Siaoming Wong will continue to be part of our HSN family,” HSN said, “maintaining the cherished connections we have with our customers.”

Another familiar face who will temporarily stay with the network is Bobbi Ray Carter. The longtime program host, however, will celebrate retirement at the end of the year.

“In a million years, I would never have imagined that 42 years ago today when I was hired at a tiny, crazy channel that sold things on radio and TV, that I would still be here today!” Carter wrote via Facebook on February 7. “I have said many times how lucky I am to have had this journey. … The people I have met, the friends I have made, the experiences of a lifetime and hopefully I have touched people’s lives along the way. I will be forever grateful! Thank you for blessing me with this incredible life of TV retail! Although our building will be gone, HSN and our family will still be here for you.”

Although viewers can expect some changes when they watch HSN in the coming months, the shopping network — home to Curtis Stone, Giuliana Rancic, Christie Brinkley, Joy Mangano and more celebrity lines — promises that the shopping will go on.

“Thank you for being part of our HSN family — as we’ve been saying, HSN is moving…but we’re not going anywhere!” the network’s Facebook post stated. “We can’t wait to continue bringing you innovative products, captivating content and unforgettable moments.”
