It turns out Special Forces costars Kayla Nicole and Cam Newton crossed paths (at least virtually) before their time in Wales.
Back in April 2022, the quarterback, now 35, raised eyebrows for his comments about women during an appearance on the “Million Dollaz Worth of Game” podcast.
“Now a woman, for me, is handling your own but knowing how to cater to a man’s needs. Right?” Newton said. “And I think a lot of times when you get that aesthetic of like, ‘I’m a boss bitch, I’m this, I’m that.’ No, baby! But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet. You don’t know how to allow a man to lead.”
Nicole, who was dating Travis Kelce at the time, took to Twitter (now known as X) to address the remarks.
“The obsession with women being able to cook is truly comical. Cause it’s like if your palate is so superior date a Michelin star chef then bozo. Pretty sure the average woman is capable of making edible food. How do you think she’s survived thus far?” the influencer tweeted.
Nicole added in a second post: “It’s really not a matter of can she cook — it’s more like does she want to cook for your hungry hippo ass.”
Nicole further addressed the situation via Instagram Live, which was captured by TMZ Sports: “I think it’s foolish that we have to keep having the same tired conversation about the qualities that make a woman of substance. This man said that you need to be able to cook and to be quiet because that’s what his mama did. Like boy, go date your mama then.”
The following day, Nicole clarified her statements.
“I don’t have ‘beef’ with anyone. I have beef with the ideation that reduces a woman’s worth to what’s being put on a dinner plate,” she wrote. “This narrative was publicly shared on a podcast, it’s important for it 2 be publicly denounced. Now if y’all will excuse me, gonna go order postmates.”
While Newton didn’t address Nicole directly, he did claim he was unfairly “scrutinized” at the time.
“You can’t expect so much from a person and give so little. … I should have said on top of what I also said and mentioned that not only should a woman know when to be quiet, a man also should know when to be quiet,” Newton said in a YouTube video. “Whether it’s being whatever you need to be as a human being — man or female — you should be that. And I think not going into depth like I should have cost me.”
“I got daughters,” he continued. “When the day comes when my daughters look back and say, ‘Damn dad, what did you really mean about that,’ I’m not going to cower away and say, ‘Well, that just got threw out of context.'”
Newton has eight kids, including three daughters, with several different women. Most recently, he and girlfriend Jasmin Brown welcomed a baby girl in 2024.
Nicole and Kelce, meanwhile, were over for good in 2022 after dating on and off for five years. He started dating Taylor Swiftduring summer 2023. On Special Forces, Nicole has spoken about the backlash she has received from Swift’s fans, but she also complimented the Grammy winner.
“I really, like, like her,” Nicole said on episode two, referring to Swift. “I think she’s very talented.”
Special Forces airs on FOX Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.
She’s not King Midas, but anything Kate Middleton touches . . . turns to sold! Just like Us, people love the Princess of Wales style, whether it be a trendy burgundy bag or some classic white sneakers. Her latest turtleneck sweater is no different, seeing it’s already sold out, but thankfully we can still snag this $17 lookalike on Amazon.
Middleton wore the look while attending a visit at The Royal Marsden Hospital on January 14, 2025. To be exact, she wore a burgundy turtleneck sweater — a color that’s totally trending for the new year. In classic Middleton fashion, she wore an ultra polished look, pairing the turtleneck with a matching slip skirt, a brown plaid trench coat and some brown pumps.
Her exact turtleneck sweater, which in England they call a “roll neck jumper,” is from a brand Kiltane. The sweater is totally out of stock in her color choice, per usual, but is still totally available in this similar version that’s a fraction of the price on Amazon.
A fantastic winter-to-spring transitional top and lookalike for Kate Middleton’s style is the VOBCTY Long Sleeve Turtleneck Slim Fitted Top. It looks just like the princess’s pick, with a lightweight design, turtle neckline and long sleeves. Made with a mostly rayon and slightly spandex fabric blend, the top is soft, stretchy and built to last. It’s machine-washable too!
The great thing about this top is that it’s so affordable that you can get it in Middleton’s color-of-choice, burgundy, and pick up a few others as well and still stay on budget. Other colors that you can stock up in in this versatile top are white, black, olive green and blue. It also comes in size S to XXL.
If you need confirmation of how this turtleneck is a worth-it purchase, take a look at the over 4,800 five-star reviews it’s gotten.
One reviewer’s claim that stood out was this one that said it’s “perfect layering turtleneck or alone.”
“This is the turtleneck you’ve been looking for to wear under other fitted sweaters or jackets,” they said. “[It’s the] perfect fit and silky texture with just the perfect thickness. If only they made tank tops for summer I’d be in heaven.”
Aside from Middleton’s skirt and pumps outfit inspiration, the top can be styled with so many existing pieces in your closet. Got a pair of jeans? It can go with those and some heels for Friday dinner with friends. Got a pair of slacks? It can pair with those, a blazer and some flats for office outfits as well. Not to mention, it can also be paired with leggings and some sneakers for running errands as well.
Though Middleton’s burgundy pick is a major color trend for this winter, it’ll still always be one of those colors that will remain a classic. This means that for just $17 on Amazon you can get a royalty-approved style that’ll also outlast all of the trends . . . just like the princess’s timeless style.

Cameron Diaz got real about what she’s been doing during her 10-year movie hiatus — and parenting is at the top of the list.
“I was not keeping up with any kind of training,” Diaz, 52, said of her break from Hollywood in behind-the-scenes video from Netflix’s Back in Action posted on Wednesday, January 15. “I did nothing public. I said no to everything.”
“That was what I was putting most of my focus on,” Diaz explained. “If I was doing anything other than just sort of being a mom and living my day to day.”
The mother of two confessed, “That was pretty much it. I’m just trying to stay alive just like every other mother. I’m just trying to keep it going.”
Diaz had an extremely lucrative career, pumping out 38 movies in 20 years before pressing pause after 2014’s The Other Woman, Sex Tape and Annie.
The following year, the Charlie’s Angel star shifted her focus to building up her home life. Diaz married Benji Madden in 2015 and in 2018 she revealed she was “semi-retired” as an actress before clarifying that she was “actually retired.”
In 2019, Diaz and Madden, 45, welcomed their first child, daughter Raddix, via surrogate. The pair expanded their family in 2022 when their son, Cardinal, was born via surrogate.
That same year, Diaz came out of retirement to start filming Back in Action with Jamie Foxx, whom she worked with on Annie nearly a decade prior.
In their new movie, Diaz and Foxx, 57, play former CIA agents and married couple Emily and Matt, who find themselves pulled back into the world of espionage when their secret identities are blown.
Back in Action kick started Diaz’s return to Hollywood. She has since filmed Apple TV+’s Outcome with Keanu Reeves and Matt Bomer and is set to reprise her role as Princess Fiona in Shrek 5.
“Cameron feels like she’s settled now and is in a good place mentally,” a source exclusively shared for Us Weekly‘s cover story earlier this month. “She has a new outlook on work and the industry as a whole.”
A second insider noted that Diaz’s “goal” moving forward is “to pursue projects — whether acting, business or family life — that feel meaningful and authentic.”

Antonia and Johanna claimed in January court documents obtained by People that they have “serious concerns” about the “mismanagement” of Danny’s role as trustee over Bennett’s estate.
“Danny acted in multiple, conflicting fiduciary capacities for an extended period prior to Tony’s death and took (for himself and his children) significant funds from the Family Trust,” the court documents read. “Moreover, as publicized by Danny to various media outlets, at some point prior to Tony’s death, Tony entered a phase of diminished capacity, which means Tony was no longer able to act as co-trustee, leaving Danny to serve as sole Trustee of the Family Trust with no oversight.”
According to Antonia and Johanna, their late father had a “clear intention and direction” that all four of his children would be treated equally. They are seeking Danny’s accounting from both before and after Bennett died in 2023.
Antonia and Johanna named Danny in a June 2024 legal motion, claiming that certain assets were unaccounted for after Bennett died. The two women, as well as their brother Dae are all beneficiaries of the Tony Bennett 1994 Family Trust, while Danny is the sole trustee.
Danny has not publicly addressed his sisters’ new accusations, but he previously filed to transfer the court case to the surrogate’s court or dismiss it in November 2023. Antonia and Johanna are now asking the court to deny his motion.

Bennett died at the age of 96 in July 2023. He is survived by wife Susan Benedettoand his four children. He shared Danny and Dae with ex Patricia Beech, as well as his two daughters with ex Sandra Grant.
One year after Bennett’s passing, Antonia and Johanna accused their sibling of misconduct. According to the filing obtained by People, the pair claim Danny would allegedly write checks using funds from the trust “as he saw fit” and made “multiple gifts to himself” totaling over $200,700. Antonia and Johanna also claimed that Danny took $50,000 advances in addition to commissions he earned as Bennett’s business manager.
The legendary jazz singer created the trust in 1994, naming his sons as co-trustees. The fund was amended in 2008 in which Dae was replaced as trustee with the singer himself.
Antonia and Johanna also named Dae and Benedetto as respondents in the lawsuit, claiming that they avoided “accountability for Danny’s actions” because they previously claimed the sisters “lack standing” to request accounting for periods ahead of Bennett’s death. Neither Dae nor Benedetto have publicly addressed the claims.
Cameron Diaz slayed in her long-awaited red carpet return.
Diaz, 52, walked the red carpet for the Wednesday, January 15, Berlin premiere of her new film Back in Action. The actress stunned in an all-black ensemble.
The outfit included a black blouse with sheer coverage across the top of her torso. Diaz paired the top with black trousers and a matching oversized coat. She opted for black penny loafers rather than high heels.
Diaz accentuated her look with a chic low ponytail that was tied with a black ribbon. She also had several pieces of her hair out in a curtain bang style to frame her face. For jewels, Diaz wore a pair of Jennifer Fisher gold puffy dagger earrings and an Alexis Bittar gold armor clip earring. She added a pop of color to her look rocking a bold red lip.
In addition to posing on the red carpet solo, Diaz was joined by her Back in Action costar Jamie Foxx and director Seth Gordon.
Wednesday’s event marked Diaz’s highly anticipated return following her decade-long retirement from Hollywood. Diaz took a hiatus from acting following the 2014 remake of Annie, which also starred Foxx, 57. During that time, Diaz tied the knot with husband Benji Madden in 2015. The couple went on to welcome two children.

In June 2022, Diaz revealed that she was returning to the spotlight when she was announced as a part of the Back in Action cast alongside Foxx.
“Only you could get me back in action,” the actress wrote in a cheeky Instagram post at the time, referring to her friendship with Foxx.
In the movie, Diaz and Foxx play married former CIA agents who are pulled back into the espionage game when their identities are revealed. The action-comedy will debut on Netflix on Friday, January 17.

With Diaz’s Hollywood return, she’s not ruling out more work. Instead, she’s going to focus on what feels right for her and her family.
“I’m not defining anything,” Diaz told Empire in December 2024. “I’m just open to whatever makes sense for me and my family at any given moment.”
“I’m enjoying all aspects of life that’s for damn sure,” Kelce, 35, gushed during a Wednesday, January 15, appearance on the Stephen A. Smith Show. “Me and Taylor are happy and I couldn’t be happier to have that confidence and that comfort off the field and all the support I could ever ask for in the stadium.”
Kelce and Swift, 35, have been together since summer 2023 after he attended one of her Eras Tour concerts in Kansas City armed with a DIY friendship bracelet that became synonymous with her shows. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had hoped to give the bracelet to Swift — which featured his phone number — but was unable to meet the pop star. The three-time Super Bowl champ famously recalled the perceived rejection on his “New Heights” podcast later in July 2023.
After Swift heard Kelce’s plan while listening to the podcast episode, she privately reached out. The pair went public the following September when Swift attended her first Chiefs game.
Now, Swift is a staple at Kelce’s football games. (Throughout the 2024-2025 season, she attended nearly every home game at KC’s Arrowhead Stadium.)
“I think, personally, the beauty of being in a very strong relationship is that you get that support to be able to come in and focus on your craft, focus on being the best version of you,” Kelce added on Wednesday. “That’s why I wanted to be at [her] concerts supporting her and being there for her, making sure she feels comfortable and supported in everything she’s doing in life.”

In between publicly sharing his support for Swift, Kelce asserted that he remains “focused as [he’s] ever been” on the football field.
“I’m as focused as I’ve ever been on my job and being the best player that I could possibly be week-in-week-out for this team,” he said. “It’s because I don’t have to worry about things off the field.”
Kelce had a slow start to the current NFL season, which certain critics blamed on his frequent travel to see Swift perform on stage. (She wrapped her Eras Tour in December 2024, capped off with a celebratory surprise party organized by Kelce.)

“You have to be true to yourself,” he told Smith, referring to the criticism of his relationship. “People are saying things [and] you’ve got to be able to reflect and look at yourself and see, ‘Why are they saying these things?’ I was still playing at a high level knowing all that. We were winning football games, which is all I ever care about and, on top of that, this building knew how hard I worked and how much focus I have on football throughout the year.”
Kelce and the Chiefs secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC and are gearing up for the divisional round of the playoffs on Saturday, January 18, for a chance to play in the conference championship and, hopefully, the Super Bowl.
Van Der Beek, 47, recently gave his stamp of approval on a series of AI-generated photos posted on social media of him and his former costars Katie Holmes, Joshua Jackson and Michelle Williams.
“Merry Christmas to all with these beautiful photos of the quartet together,” the90screek fan account captioned fake reunion snaps of the cast via Instagram on December 24, 2024.
Van Der Beek discovered the images on Tuesday, January 14, replying in the comments section, “Cute!!!”
Among the AI-made photos is a group shot of Van Der Beek, Williams, 44, Holmes, 46, and Jackson, 46, huddled in front of a Christmas tree. A second photo showed the two male actors with Williams bundled up in the snow.
The holiday-themed pictures also featured Van Der Beek in a Christmas sweater smiling with Williams and standing in the snow with Holmes.
Van Der Beek starred as Dawson Leery on The WB series from 1998 to 2003. Holmes portrayed his BFF and childhood love Joey Potter, while Jackson played their other best friend and Joey’s true love, Pacey Witter. Williams, meanwhile, was the edgy Jen Lindley.
One of their most iconic reunions came in 2018 when the stars posed for Entertainment Weekly in honor of the 20th anniversary of the premiere.
“I think we’ve all sort of seen each other over the years, but not everybody all together. And never for long enough,” Holmes told the outlet at the time.
Warner Bros.
Despite their physical distance, the cast appears to have each other’s backs. When Van Der Beek announced his cancer diagnosis in November 2024, another Dawson’s Creek costar Busy Philipps showed him some love via social media.
“My wonderful friend, I’m sending you and your beautiful family all the love and prayers for your healing and complete recovery ,” Philipps, who played Joey’s college roommate Audrey Liddell on the show, wrote via Instagram.
At the time, Van Der Beek revealed that he is battling stage 3 colorectal cancer. “I’m very cautiously optimistic,” he told People in November 2024. “I’m in a place of healing; my energy levels are great.”
While celebrating Thanksgiving, the actor gave an update about his “tough year” via Instagram.
“I’m thankful for all of it. For the giant life re-direct cancer has placed in my path,” Van Der Beek added. “For the gift of knowing what it feels like to have friends come through on such a profound level, and in ways I never would have been able to ask for had I not been going through it.”
He concluded: “I’m grateful to each and every one of you who has reached out and sent good vibes and prayers. It all lands and makes a difference.”

Klum, 51, showcased her bombshell body in a string bikini with cheeky bottoms while vacationing in St. Barts with her husband, Tom Kaulitz. The German couple, married since 2019, appeared deeply in love, holding hands and cuddling on the beach.
Klum’s barely-there two-piece highlighted her preternaturally toned physique, while Kaulitz, 35, a guitarist for Tokio Hotel, lounged in bandana-print swim trunks — a retro trend that’s been making a major comeback.

The supermodel beamed at her husband as they chatted and strolled hand-in-hand into the shallows. Later, she donned a pajama-like printed blouse and trousers, accessorized with a straw hat and Gucci shawl, to warm up.
Klum, who has four children (Leni, 20; Henry, 19; Johan, 18; and Lou, 15) with ex-husband Seal (who also adopted Leni, whose biological father is Flavio Briatore), has openly addressed her and Kaulitz’s 16-year age gap.
“I’m 50 and no longer 20. I’m not a young girl who hasn’t experienced anything yet or has no idea about life,” she has said. “Time won’t stand still for me and Tom will never catch up with me. I’ll always be 16 years older, and I’m aware of that.”
Klum continued: “’I know that I will look older than him sooner. Maybe it will be a problem for me in 10 years’ time, maybe he won’t like it then,” the Teutonic blonde shared. “In 20 years, I’ll be 70. I usually plan for the future – but with my husband, I live in the here and now.”

Klum has also faced criticism for posing in lingerie shoots for Intimissimi with her lookalike daughter Leni, who has followed in her mother’s modeling footsteps. For her part, Klum shared her unabashed delight in seeing her mini-mes wear her vintage clothing.
“I get so excited when I see my daughters re-wearing my clothes,” Klum told People while attending Prince William‘s Earthshot Prize Awards in Cape Town in November 2024.
“My eldest daughter… goes to events and when she wears my clothes I’m not just proud but we can upcycle.”

Jana Duggar couldn’t always count on finding her forever husband.
For nearly 12 years, the reality star allowed cameras to document her life on TLC’s 19 Kids and Counting and the spinoff Counting On. During the show, Duggar witnessed her sisters fall in love, leaving her wondering when her time would come.
“I’m just like, ‘What is it? Is it me? Do I have a problem?’ I know I’ve prayed for this for years and years and definitely been like, ‘What’s the matter,’” she shared with People in August 2024. “All of my siblings, most of them have been married in their early 20s. By far, I am the oldest. So it has been disheartening at times.”
Little did Duggar know that something special was brewing with longtime family friend Stephen Wissmann.
While their romance wasn’t exactly love at first sight, the pair reconnected in early 2024, fell in love and experienced a fairytale summer wedding.
“Just to see it coming about is incredible and kind of hard to believe,” Duggar told People days before her August 2024 nuptials. “It’s a dream come true.”

2011
Wissmann — who lives in Nebraska with his parents and siblings — first connected with Duggar through their families when they were teenagers.
“[The Wissmann’s] would travel and sing,” Duggar recalled to People in 2024. “I remember them coming to our home, probably 13 or so years ago and they ended up getting snowed-in here, which hardly ever happens in Arkansas. I remember just playing games late into the night, doing puzzles together until the snow melted off, and they were able to travel back home. I don’t really remember Stephen that well because I’m older than him and so he was not at all on my radar.”
In a 2024 interview with People, Duggar revealed she briefly dated Wissmann a few years ago before going their separate ways. Despite the breakup, the pair remained in touch and “talked to each other on and off over the years.” In March 2022, Duggar’s brother Jeremiah Duggar married Wissmann’s sister Hannah.

Early 2024
In the early months of 2024, both Jana and Stephen reconnected once again and decided to take their relationship more seriously. “It was like, ‘What are we doing? We still enjoy each other. We still really appreciate each other,’ ” she recalled to People. “I had been a slower mover on it, but just over time, his character, his coming back, still loving me no matter what. I know we have a big crazy family and still kind of putting up with a lot of things. I’m like, my goodness, there are not too many people that do that. He must really, genuinely care about me.”

Although the pair never publicly commented on their courtship, they managed to secretly get engaged on June 15, 2024. One month later, fans speculated that Jana was engaged when she posted a series of Instagram photos with a ring on her left hand.
Two months after getting engaged, the couple was able to experience their dream wedding in front of 500 guests. Jana and Stephen got married in a “classic, elegant” ceremony near Prairie Grove, Arkansas, on Thursday, August 15, People reported. “I prayed for this for years,” Duggar told the outlet when celebrating the ceremony.
The Counting On star enjoyed her wedding with Jessa Duggar Seewald serving as her maid of honor. Jana’s sister-in-law Abbie Duggar as well as sisters Joy-Anna Forsyth, Johannah Duggar, Jinger Duggar Vuolo and Jordyn Duggar served as bridesmaids.
“The sweetest wedding ever,” Jessa wrote via her Instagram Story after the wedding. Jinger added, “The most stunning bride.”

Stephen celebrated Jana’s 35th birthday by sharing a collage of photos from throughout the couple’s relationship to his social media.
“Happy Birthday to the loveliest and most incredible friend and wife! I Love you!” he wrote via Instagram on January 12. “DEFINITION FOR LOVELY: Charmingly or exquisitely beautiful, Having a beauty that appeals to the heart or mind as well as to the eye, as a person or a face, Delightful; highly pleasing, Of a great moral or spiritual beauty.”
According to Stephen, his wife fits the word. “You have so many gifts and talents you choose to bless others with!” he added.
Danielle Fishel grew up in the spotlight as a child actor on Boy Meets World, and her experience on the show taught her exactly what to do — and what to avoid — when it comes to directing young stars like the ones on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place.
“One thing I try to pivot away from that we did a lot on Boy Meets World [is] super fast paced dialogue,” Fishel, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly while discussing her role as director on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place’s inaugural season. “There were a lot of scenes where the people talking to each other were rapid firing things. And depending on what’s being said, that timing could increase the funny, but it also gives the idea that no one’s really listening to the other person.”
Fishel noted that being a good actor is “all about listening to your scene partner” and “letting what they’ve said affect you in some way”— something she feels didn’t always occur on her hit ‘90s sitcom. Now, it’s something she tries to “shy away from” when helming her own episodes.
“I want my actors to feel like they’re living in a reality,” she explained. “Even if that reality involves magic, it is the reality for their character. And so I try to ground people as much as possible.”
Fishel made a name for herself by starring as beloved character Topanga Lawrence on all seven seasons of Boy Meets World, which ran from 1993 to 2000. While growing up on the ABC series inevitably taught her the “donts” of making successful TV, it also helped her discover the “dos.”
“I definitely try to incorporate some movement. It can be kind of difficult in a show where you’ve got a lot of characters in one set and everyone has to talk to each other,” she said, adding that “finding natural and organic places for people to cross and move” also presents a challenge.
“And one of the things I think we did pretty well on Boy Meets World were the crosses our actors made felt organic,” she continued “They didn’t feel like, ‘Well, why did they just do that?’”
Fishel preps for incorporating movement by blocking episodes in her “mind” ahead of shooting before walking her cast through the paces. In the end, however, she says that an actor is always the “expert” in their character — and she is open to feedback, always.
“If something I’m telling you to do doesn’t feel good for you or doesn’t feel natural for you, I want you to tell me and let’s come up with something else,” she told Us. “You make a suggestion, ‘Let’s try it. This is a safe space and let’s just find the best way to do it.’ And it’s worked very well for me thus far.”
That open communication is something that carries over when approaching any of the younger cast members on her set, especially when it involves giving notes. Fishel understands all too well the feeling of “all eyes” being on her, and doesn’t want that sensation to seep into the actors she’s directing.
“I think one of the really important things is having conversations with each kid, and not in front of everybody,” she explained. “When you’re rehearsing you’re on a set and everyone is standing around — there are crew members, the parents of the children are there, or their guardians; whoever’s there watching them that day. And when you are giving notes and you’re trying to make a scene better, sometimes it can feel like, ‘Everybody’s eyes are on me and I was just given a note.’ And I never want them to think that if I’ve given them a note, it’s that I’m correcting something they’ve done.”

Fishel added that there is “no right or wrong” approach to acting, just “different approaches” about what to try and what risks to take. “And so when I can tell that an actor is maybe feeling a little insecure or needs a bit of a pep talk for whatever reason,” she told Us, “I will ask the parent or guardian and that actor to step aside where nobody can really see us and just have a one-on-one conversation where [I say], ‘Tell me what’s going on for you.’”
Fishel’s directing career kicked off in 2014 with the BMW revival series, Girl Meets World. While she reprised her role as Topanga for the Disney series, she also stepped behind the camera for the first time. It’s there she realized that her “maternal instincts” were strong — stars Rowan Blanchard and Sabrina Carpenter felt “very much like my kids,” she told Us — but it wasn’t until she became a mother herself that her approach to directing changed entirely. (Fishel shares sons Adler, 5, and Keaton, 3, with husband Jensen Karp.)
“I know from seeing my own kids and seeing their vulnerabilities that every kid, even when they are the star of their own TV show, is dealing with their own insecurities and is having self-doubt,” she shared. “And if I can just come in and be a person who encourages them and makes them feel like, one, they learn something throughout the week or [two], possibly have a better understanding of what they do or why they do it and that they had a good time and would like to do it again, then I feel like I’ve succeeded in my job.”
Fishel has since directed countless episodes of popular TV series’ like Raven’s Home, Sydney to the Max and Lopez vs. Lopez. Her debut on Wizards Beyond Waverly Place — a revival of the hit from the early 2000s — airs on Disney Channel this month. The episode, titled “Potions Eleven” follows teen wizard Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown) as she enters mentor Justin Russo’s (David Henry) mind to figure out what really happened to get him fired from being a professor at WizTech years earlier.
The plot line carries over from the OG series’ finale — which starred Henry alongside Selena Gomez, who also reprises her role as Alex Russo — and unveils a secret fans have been curious about since the show’s pilot. That pressure was not lost on Fishel.
“The biggest challenge was just overcoming my own fear that I was gonna let anybody down,” she explained, noting that the Wizards franchise is “so special” and “so meaningful” to fans. “The unicorn incident is a big [story] — it’s a big episode — and having it be in my hands was a little nerve wracking.”
Luckily, everyone on set made Fishel feel “comfortable” — especially fellow former child actor Henry, 35, who is also a producer on the series.
“David Henry is so amazing, and the minute I got on set with him I saw what he was capable of doing, both with the, like, more heartfelt, vulnerable moments and the over-the-top wacky physical comedy. He can really do it all,” she gushed. “And so once I got in there and I saw what this entire cast was capable of, I was like, ‘Oh, there’s no failing here. There’s only success.’”
New episodes of Wizards Beyond Waverly Place air on Disney Channel Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.
Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow found the biggest catch in his wife, Demi-Leigh Tebow.
Tim and Demi-Leigh met in 2018 at a South African event for one of his nonprofits and got engaged six months later.
“[Being engaged] is awesome. It’s so incredible and we’re so blessed,” Tim exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2019. “We’re so aligned in what matters most to us and we get along so well. She’s so incredibly special … I almost can’t even put it into words.”
Tim and Demi-Leigh, a former Miss Universe who hails from South Africa, also had to overcome a language barrier when they first started dating.
“Her first language is Afrikaans, not English. I was like, ‘Keep well? … I don’t know if I’m going to see you again!’” he told Us in August 2024 after she ended one conversation with the phrase, “Keep well.”
Demi-Leigh, for her part, added that “loving in a second language is different.”
After conquering language difficulties, Tim and Demi-Leigh tied the knot in January 2020. Five years later, they announced they were expecting their first baby.

Demi-Leigh and her sister, who had cerebellar agenesis before she died in 2019, were invited to Tim’s Night of Shine nonprofit gala held in their native South Africa.
“She is a really special girl, and I am very lucky and blessed for her coming into my life,” Tim said in an ESPN interview in July. “I am usually very private with these things, but I am very thankful.”
While speaking to Us in 2024, Tim revealed that he and the model bonded over a shared passion for philanthropy.
“@demileighnp Thank you for saying YES and making me the happiest man in the world,” he wrote via Instagram. “You’re the love of my life, and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”
Tim and Demi-Leigh tied the knot in Cape Town, South Africa.
“We’re both very traditional,” she told People at the time. “We wanted to look back at the wedding and see that it was intimate, elegant and traditional. We definitely wanted it to be something that we could look back on and know that nothing was dated. We want to remember this day for the rest of our lives.

Demi-Leigh published her memoir, A Crown That Lasts, and Tim was her No. 1 supporter throughout the process.
“[It took] so much courage to write about the hard moments in her life,” Tim gushed to Us, calling the book a “great encouragement” to other women.
At the time, Demi-Leigh also praised Tim as her “sounding board” while she wrote each chapter.
“There [were] nights of writing from 7 p.m. to, like, three in the morning,” she said. “He’d just [make] me a hot bath with some Epsom salt.”
January 2025
Demi-Leigh revealed on January 14 that she was pregnant with the couple’s first baby.
“Baby Tebow,” she captioned maternity photos via Instagram.
When it comes to old Hollywood glamour, no one walks the red carpet quite like Isabella Rossellini. After all, the Death Becomes Her actress is the daughter of cinematic icon Ingrid Bergman, so you can say it’s in her genes! Her recent Golden Globes look was breathtaking.
Rossellini wore a custom red Dolce & Gabbana embroidered dress paired with a bold lip and chandelier earrings. But it was her glowing complexion that stole the show. The 72-year-old’s radiant skin was prepped with the Lancôme Advanced Génifique Hydrogel Melting sheet mask. Though it sounds expensive, it’s actually on Amazon for just $17!
We love a hydrating sheet mask, especially in the winter when it’s extra important to restore moisture to the skin barrier. Whether you’re attending a special event or unwinding with an at-home spa treatment, the Lancôme Hydrogel Melting Sheet Mask contains prebiotics to plump skin. Rossellini’s makeup artist Matin Maulawizada sealed her skin with a Lancôme serum and rich moisturizing cream. No wonder Rossellini’s skin looked so stunning!
Amazon shoppers give the sheet mask a lot of love, saying it delivers a big glow-up.
“I love Lancôme products in general. Their quality is always on point, but this mask takes the cake,” one five-star reviewer says. “It gives instant hydration that leaves my skin glowing for days. It’s cooling and feels great on my skin. I use it the night before special occasions or when I just need a personal pick me up.”
A second devotee concurs, raving it’s “Absolutely the best,” and “This mask can take tired, haggard-looking skin and breathe life into it again. Deep wrinkles, fine lines and dull skin look so much better after using this mask. Use it for special occasions or before taking pictures for something. You won’t regret it!”
Combat dryness and lackluster skin with this luxe treatment that celebrities like Rossellini rely on for a red carpet-worthy glow. For under $20, it’s far less expensive than a facial!
Danny Keough and Lisa Marie PresleyPaul Harris/Getty Images
The late Lisa Marie Presley and ex-husband Danny Keough’s whirlwind romance continued to make headlines years after their split.
After first meeting in 1985, Presley and Keough exchanged vows in October 1988. The couple welcomed daughter Riley Keough and son Benjamin Keough in 1989 and 1992, respectively. (Benjamin died by suicide at age 27 in July 2020.)
“Their life was very simple,” Riley said of her parents during a January 2025 episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “Not with the press and the craziness. But in terms of at home, she didn’t have ten million assistants. She didn’t need all of that. And I think that changed.”
Following their split, Lisa Marie moved on with Michael Jackson. The twosome secretly tied the knot less than three weeks after her divorce from Danny was finalized. (After her divorce from Jackson in 1996, Lisa Marie was married to Nicolas Cage from 2002 to 2004 and to Michael Lockwood from 2006 to 2021. Lisa Marie and Lockwood welcomed twins Harper and Finley in 2008.)

2003
Following their split, Lisa Marie and Danny remained close. “The smartest thing I’ve ever done is have children with this man because I knew this is the one man I could be connected to for the rest of my life,” Lisa Marie said during a 2003 interview with Rolling Stone.
2005
Lisa Marie told People in 2005 that her relationship with Danny was “like brother and sister.”
“Ultimately this is a good message to send out to people: You don’t have to put your crap on your kids even if you are not together. You can still be civilized,” she said at the time. “I knew at the age that I had the kids with him that Danny was someone I could be connected with for the rest of my life. I knew he would be a good father.”
In Lisa Marie’s memoir, published posthumously, she revealed that she regretted getting an abortion during her relationship with Danny.
“I’d never gotten pregnant with any other person, which is fascinating because I’d been equally as sloppy, not using birth control or whatever,” Lisa Marie wrote. “With Danny it happened the first time, and then it happened again when we got back together.”
Lisa Marie recalled not knowing about her first pregnancy for four months. She went to the hospital after experiencing “horrible pains.” According to Lisa Marie, doctors initially thought it was her appendix. “They had rushed me into surgery,” she wrote. “When I came around, they told me I’d had an ectopic pregnancy.”
With her second pregnancy, Lisa Marie and Danny “didn’t know what to do” so she had an abortion. She wrote, “It was the stupidest thing I’ve ever done in my whole life. I was devastated. I did it and we both cried. We were both destroyed and not long after that we fell apart and broke up. I couldn’t live with myself.”
The pair ultimately reconciled. “I planned and I plotted and I schemed,” Lisa Marie wrote, noting that she knew “exactly” when she was ovulating and went to visit Danny. “I remember getting back on the ship hoping I’d f—ing done it.”
Lisa Marie admitted she “didn’t really mean” to trap Danny, while Riley wrote in her portion of the book that her mom “absolutely meant to trap my dad.” (Riley finished From Here to the Great Unknown following Lisa Marie’s death at age 54 in January 2023.)
Both Lisa Marie and Riley claimed there were “multiple attempts” from Priscilla to stop Danny from being a part of their lives. “It felt like me and Danny against everybody,” Lisa Marie recalled.
2025
Riley shared details of her dynamics with her parents during an episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “There were just not a lot of boundaries. It was very, like, everyone knew everything about everybody. If I was breaking up with a boyfriend, she was involved,” Riley said of her mom. “Everyone, my brother, my dad. We’re very enmeshed, I think.”
#TrippingWithTarte: We know it, we love it and we (sometimes) raise our eyebrows at it.
If you’re anything like Us, you’ve been following Tarte influencer trips for years. From makeup gurus posting content from Turks and Caicos and Alix Earle bringing her mom on the brand’s Dubai trip to Ken Eurich and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia squashing their beef in the British Virgin Islands, the getaways are filled with drama, fun activities and more.
Tarte had their most recent brand trip in January 2025, where Eurich and LaPaglia became friends again, and JaNa Craig, Mei Mei Monstaa and more partied on the sandy beaches of Neckter Island, played tennis and created tons of content.
Some fans were upset to see the influencers partying while the greater Los Angeles wildfires spread, and shared their thoughts via social media.
“Tarte never fails to make me roll my eyes anymore lol, their brand trips always leave a bad taste in my mouth but especially now sending all these influencers to this lavish private island while people are losing their homes and loved ones,” one person wrote via X.
Aware of the sensitive situation, Tarte donated $250,000 to Wold Central Kitchen to aid in the fires, as well as donated their proceeds from January 8 through January 11 to the non-profit.
They also donated $10,000 to the Los Angeles Department, as well as another $10,000 to California Wildfire Response Fund for wildlife rescue as the girls enjoyed a game of Neon Beach Olympics.
From friendships forming — and breaking — to unfair hotel room sizes, keep scrolling to see all the controversies that have happened on Tarte trips.
Influencers Spreading Rumors About Each Other
Tana Mongeua and Brooke Schofield shared that they planned to spread a fake rumor about someone on their Bora Bora Tarte trip until a tropical storm canceled the outing.
After “campaigning” for herself to go on a Tarte trip for “years,” Schofield had the idea to start “the most out of pocket rumor” and test how long it took for the girls on the trip to air it out on social media.

“We devised this evil plan for our live shows,” Mongeua explained. “If you guys have ever seen these trips you know how it goes. Rumors get spread, drama gets started, s— blows up on the internet.”
Schofield added, “We were like, ‘What kind of drama should we stir up on this trip?’” Although they didn’t have a chance to create a rumor about one of the travelers, there still has been a lot of other drama that went down before influencers.
Brianna Chickenfry and Kennedy Eurich Drama
During an episode of her “Dumber Blonde” podcast, Eurich called LaPaglia out for being mean to her on a previous press trip.
“I get the email about the Tarte trip,” Eurich said, referencing the January 2025 trip she took to Neckter Island, the British Virgin Islands.
After her manager told Tarte that Eurich was “down” to go and asked for a guest list, the cosmetics team asked her to hop on a phone call, making the TikTok star suspicious about who else was attending.
“I have a feeling it’s gonna be about: someone Kennedy doesn’t work well with is going.” On the call, Eurich found out that LaPaglia was also invited. “Here’s the thing,” she said. “If Brianna Chickenfry would have just said, ‘Hey girl, sorry I probably was a bitch to you, I would have been like, ‘Girl, you are so good.’”
“Who knows?” she continued. “Maybe she’ll apologize on this trip and the world will be sunshine and rainbows and buttieflies but she doesn’t give me the vibe of a bitch who would apologize.”

Eurich posted the podcast clip to her TikTok account on Monday, January 13, as she was still vacationing with LaPaglia. In response, LaPaglia took to TikTok on Tuesday, January 14, to share a clip of her and Eurich telling fans they “squashed” their beef.
“It was squashed,” Eurich said, as LaPaglia admitted, “Ok listen, I was a c—.”
Eurich then replied, “No, I was a c—. We were both c—s.” LaPaglia suggested that they might “butt heads a lot” because of how similar their personalities are, and tested a vlog coming soon.
Unequal Hotel Room Sizes
Tarte caught heat in April 2023 when influencer Sri Lankan shared a room tour with her followers during the brand’s Turks and Caicos getaway.
Fans noticed that Lankan’s room was not nearly as nice as Meredith Duxbury’s, who had a beach-front view, a walk-in shower, two balconies, a vanity and more.

Lankan later addressed fans’ comments after returning from the trip, agreeing that her room was “way too small.”
“I’m a brown minority creator and a lot of the time I get the short end of the stick,” she said. “I hope people will understand it was never about the size of the room, it was about getting treated equally to my counterparts.” Lankan noted that she talked to the Tarte team and they explained that some of the rooms were assigned while others were picked out randomly.
PR Gifts
Not all gifts are created equal when it comes from Tarte. After a number of influencers including Halle Kate and Olivia Boblet, Lauren Wolfe received $700 Mini Hermès Kelly bracelets in a PR gift in September 2024, other creators shared via social media that they received a similar package from Tarte but with a $30 necklace replacing the designer accessory. Eurich was in the batch who received the Every Jewels name necklace, and took to TikTok to discuss the matter.

“They’re picking favorites and this is f—ed up,” she said. “Ya’ll are on my s— list for that. That’s sick and it’s twisted.”
Tarte later made it up to Eurich during their Neckter Island trip when the brand’s CEO and founder Maureen Kelly gifted the beauty guru an Hermès scarf and mini Kelly bracelet.
“Better late than never!” Kelly said in the clip.
How Much Do the Trips Cost?
With luxurious locations and five-star hotels such as Dubai, Bora Bora, Greece, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos and more, fans have wondered how much the influencer trips cost the brand, as they watch guests enjoy spa days, photoshoots, snorkeling, jet skiing and more. TikTok user Jill Justine, who claimed she used to manage the influencer trips, put fans’ minds at ease while she explained the vacations were “a lot more affordable [for the brand] than you think.”
Courtesy of Alix Earle/TikTok
“Most of the time, all of those things were free because we were partnering with the hotels, with the event, with the experience, because all of them are getting exposure as well,” she said.
“Honestly, the only thing we didn’t get for free sometimes were the flights,” she continued. “And even then, sometimes we would partner with the airlines and get those for free too.”
What is Tarte getting out of the trips?
Tarte benefits from their lavish trips by networking with influencers and being able to share content with their millions of followers.
Kelly told Forbes in February 2024, “We believe that our investment in relationships has been mutually advantageous. We get to know our amazing influencers and appreciate their individual perspectives, they get a fun, relaxing experience and they get to know Tarte. She continued, “To us, this is far more valuable in the long term vs a one-off media campaign like a multi-million dollar Super Bowl commercial.”
Kelly also shared that “in the beginning we just couldn’t afford to take any other approach.” She added, “We had to be resourceful — we connected with influential people and media outlets and allowed them to discover and fall in love with the brand and products at their own pace and on their own terms.”
Kelly Osbourne is calling out the celebrities she thinks are using the Los Angeles wildfires for personal attention.
While Osbourne, 40, didn’t name names, she slammed the “disturbing” trend of stars continuing to post about how they are helping victims of the wildfires that have so far killed 25 people.
“’Is it just me being my normal overthinking, cynical self or is it really disturbing to see all of these celebrities using other people’s pain and suffering as a photo op to say, look, I’m helping, I’m doing this, I’m doing that?” she asked in a video posted via TikTok on Tuesday, January 14.
“I don’t believe you help because you get attention for helping, I believe you just help because you want to. I’m so confused, I think it’s so wrong,” she continued. “No one asked you to come out and give hugs, go home.”
Kelly’s comments come as celebrities around the world are donating their time and money to wildfire relief efforts. Many have done so publicly, sharing photos and videos of themselves volunteering.
Last week, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle visited a food bank where they met with victims and first responders, while handing out food to those affected by the fires.
“They really buoyed the spirits of the first responders,” Pasadena mayor Victor Gordo said, per the Daily Mail. “We visited the command post at the Rose Bowl and people were very happy to see them.”
OnMonday, January 13, Jay Leno served meals to firefighters in the Pacific Palisades area and visited the rescue crews stationed at the Rose Bowl.
“Pacific Palisades, it doesn’t exist and probably won’t exist for the next four, five years. I don’t know how you rebuild from this,” Leno told Anderson Cooper in an appearance on CNN on Monday. “But we’ll get through it. We always do.”
AFD public information officer Erik Scott also praised Leno via X, writing, “Amid the #PalisadesFire, actor @jayleno stopped by to serve meals to #firefighters coming off the line. We’re grateful for his kindness & the support from our community during this challenging time.”
Actress Jessica Alba, meanwhile, spent Tuesday helping Baby2Baby, an organization she serves on the board of, by packing relief hygiene kits. She posted photos to her Instagram story and encouraged her followers to donate what they could.
A host of other celebrities, including Beyoncé, Paris Hilton, Jamie Lee Curtis and Eva Longoria have donated money to organizations supporting wildfire relief. As of Wednesday, January 15, the Palisades and Eaton fires have damaged or destroyed more than 12,300 structures, according to CNN. That includes the homes of many celebrities, including Hilton, Mel Gibson, Anna Faris and Billy Crystal.
As the Los Angeles wildfires continue to cause widespread devastation, many celebrity real estate agents are trying to find clients new places to live.
“I’ve been searching on the MLS [directory] trying to help displaced families from the fires find rental properties,” Selling Sunset star Jason Oppenheimsaid in an Instagram Story video in January 2025. “I’m noticing dozens of examples of people trying to do things like this, where they’re unable to get $9,500 or even $9,000 and then yesterday increase the rent over 30 percent to $12,000.”
The Oppenheim Group founder noted that while he “is all for free market capitalism,” he considers the rising costs to be the result of people “blatantly taking advantage” of the natural disaster.
California has an anti-price gouging law, meaning that it’s illegal to raise costs during an emergent situation.
“The Legislature hereby finds that during a state of emergency or local emergency, including, but not limited to, an earthquake, flood, fire, riot, storm, drought, plant or animal infestation or disease, pandemic or epidemic disease outbreak, or other natural or manmade disaster, some merchants have taken unfair advantage of consumers by greatly increasing prices for essential consumer goods and services,” part of the Penal Code Section 396 reads. “While the pricing of consumer goods and services is generally best left to the marketplace under ordinary conditions, when a declared state of emergency or local emergency results in abnormal disruptions of the market, the public interest requires that excessive and unjustified increases in the prices of essential consumer goods and services be prohibited.”
The statute further reveals that any violation is a misdemeanor crime punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for less than one year, a fine less than $10,000 or a combination of the two punishments.
Despite the state’s legal ruling, many local realtors have still found that landlords are allegedly increasing the prices of their properties amid the wildfires. Keep scrolling to see what the stars have said:

“There are price gouging laws in California, they’re just being ignored right now, and this isn’t the time to be taking advantage of situations,” Oppenheim told the BBC in January 2025. “Everyone has tears in their eyes all day long, literally from the smoke but also just because it’s emotional to see people struggling like this.”
Oppenheim’s brokerage has also donated its services to help displaced clients find places to stay at no additional fee.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on January 10, 2025, Oppenheim’s colleague called the behavior “disgusting.”
“Other realtors that have a moral compass, let’s please report to the board,” she said.
In a follow-up post, Stause noted that she kept seeing examples of price gouging as she searched the MLS for properties on the market.
Josh Flagg

The Million Dollar Listing: Los Angeles star spoke out about price gouging in a January 15, interview with Fox News.
“People [who] were not marketing their homes before are just now taking advantage because you can ask whatever you want for a house,” Flagg claimed. “You just can’t do it, then a natural disaster happens, and then you triple the price. That’s the problem.”
According to Flagg, there’s “not enough inventory” to house all of the individuals who have been displaced as a result of the fires.
“Right now, this is very scary. But at the end of the day, there will be a place for everyone to go. It’s just determining that now and everyone’s scrambling,” he told the outlet. “It’s like any disaster. In the beginning, it’s a nightmare and then everything just works itself out. But it’s not fun while you’re waiting.”

Flagg’s former MDLLA costar told Fox News that the situation is “way worse than you could ever imagine.”
“There’s not a lot of inventory to begin with, and now all of a sudden you have a thousand-plus new people in the market, whether they’re buying or renting, depending on their financial situation and depending on their family situation,” Altman said. “It’s going to be years till this gets fixed up, the houses get finished. I mean, it’s going to be two years to build a house. It’s going to be a year to get permits.”

Less than three months after making her American Horror Story debut on season 12 of Murphy’s iconic series in September 2023, it was announced that Kardashian would collaborate with the Emmy winner for a second time on a legal drama for Hulu.
The series is set to follow an all-female team of divorce lawyers in Los Angeles. In addition to starring in the show, Kardashian is also set to executive produce along with Murphy and her mother, Kris Jenner.
Sarah Paulson shared her excitement about working with Kardashian in an October 2024 interview with Yahoo Entertainment, stating, “I think it is absolutely time for people to take Kim Kardashian seriously as an actress. She was absolutely excellent in American Horror Story: Delicate.”
Paulson, one of Murphy’s frequent collaborators, added: “I think the show we’re about to do together is going to be a tremendous amount of fun and she’s going to be glorious on it. I have absolutely no doubt about that. Zero.”

What is the Plot of ‘All’s Fair’?
While exact plot details about the show are being kept under wraps, Kardashian will star as a divorce lawyer who works in an all-female law firm in L.A.
Paulson revealed that she had read the show’s first two scripts during an October 2024 interview on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “It’s going to be incredibly sexy, it’s going to be really fun and there’s already a yummy text chain that’s happening with all of us girls that’s really fun,” she shared.

When Does ‘All’s Fair’ Premiere?
It is unknown when All’s Fair will premiere on Hulu. Deadline reported in December 2023 that the show is expected to start production in late 2024 and premiere in early 2025.
Who Has Joined the ‘All’s Fair’ Cast?
Variety reported in August 2024 that Glenn Close will play the head of the all-female law firm at the center of the show’s story. In addition to Kardashian and Paulson, the series will also star Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, Matthew Noszka and Ed O’Neill.
One week after her casting was announced, Variety reported that Berry parted ways with the project due to a scheduling conflict.
“You know, things happen for a reason,” she told Entertainment Tonight in August 2024. “[But] I would have loved to have been there with those ladies, and I know it’s gonna be great. … [It’s] Ryan Murphy! I mean, you know, duh. But next time!”
