Ryan Reynolds is expanding his soccer empire!

The Deadpool & Wolverine star and his Wrexham AFC co-owner, Rob McElhenney, were named Thursday, January 16, among a group of investors set to take over the top Colombian team, Club Deportivo La Equidad Seguros.

According to Bloomberg and ESPN, the group of investors is led by real estate investor Al Tylis and soccer executive Sam Porter, who both own a stake in the Mexican soccer team Necaxa. Other investors include actress Eva Longoria, supermodel Kate Upton and Upton’s husband, MLB pitcher Justin Verlander.

“We welcome Al Tylis and Sam Porter, who arrive with a clear, long-term vision to continue strengthening our club,” La Equidad shared in a statement via X on Thursday. “This is the first step towards a future full of opportunities.”

“Al Tylis and Sam Porter not only have extensive experience in the sports world but they also have the support of recognized figures such as Eva Longoria, Rob McElhenney, Ryan Reynolds, Justin Verlander, Kate Upton, Shawn Marion and Scott Galloway,” the statement continued.

Reynolds, 48, and McElhenney, 47, took over ownership of Welsh team Wrexham in 2021, helping the club achieve worldwide visibility in part thanks to their FX docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham. Tylis bought a small stake in Wrexham in April 2024, while Reynolds and McElhenney invested in Necaxa, reported Bloomberg.

News of Reynolds’ latest investment came the same day as he was named a defendant in a $400 million lawsuit filed by Justin Baldoni, his wife Blake Lively’s It Ends With Us costar and director.

According to the filing obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, Baldoni, 40, is accusing Lively, 37, Reynolds, and Lively’s publicist, Leslie Sloane, of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims. In the suit, Baldoni claimed he was pressured by Reynolds and a “megacelebrity friend” of Lively’s to accept the actress’ changes to the film’s script.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, shared in a statement to Us, “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

The statement continued, “It is clear based on our own all out willingness to provide all complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence that was shared between the parties in real time, that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret. Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”

The lawsuit follows one filed by Lively against Baldoni on December 31, 2024, accusing him of sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages.

Us reached out to Lively’s rep, fellow defendant Sloane, for comment Thursday but did not hear back.

Justin Bieber is sending his fans’ pulses racing with his latest Instagram Stories.

The “Peaches” singer, 30, shared photos of himself stripped down to just his wet Calvin Klein boxer briefs on Thursday, January 16.

In the snaps, the tattooed star can be seen sporting a buzz cut and posing in a wooden chair after apparently taking a plunge. Another picture shows Justin all cozy in what appears to be a ski jacket and pants.

Justin didn’t share a caption over the images but set one of his racy pics to the song “Agora Hills” by Doja Cat, and another zoomed-out shot to the tune of Future’s “Too Fast.”

The new dad has also been documenting his journey into fatherhood via his Instagram since welcoming son Jack with wife Hailey Bieber in August 2024.

Justin shared a sweet pic with Jack via Instagram on Wednesday, January 15, that showed the singer nuzzling the top of his son’s head. Justin’s eyes were closed in the black-and-white snap, which he featured alongside a carousel of images from a wintry family holiday.

The new father left the caption of his post blank, only tagging the photographer Rory Kramer.

The other snaps show Justin striking various poses against a backdrop of snow-covered mountains and trees, and stepping out of a creek wearing nothing but his underwear, a hat and boots. The photos also feature the pop star with his wife, Hailey, who is shown in one snap walking alongside Justin in a white ski suit, and in another, indoors and looking at her phone. The couple’s dogs, Oscar and Piggy Lou, also make appearances.

Justin and Hailey became first-time parents in August, with Justin announcing their son’s birth in a social media post.

“WELCOME HOME,” he captioned a photo of Hailey touching Jack’s foot, which was wrapped in a fuzzy blanket. “JACK BLUES BIEBER .”

Since becoming parents, the pair are experiencing a new set of relationship dynamics.

Hailey Bieber ‘Didn’t Want to Rush’ Having a Baby With Justin Bieber

“There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,” a source exclusively revealed to Us Weekly earlier this month. “He’s truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.”

According to the insider, fatherhood has put Justin in a good place mentally as he is “obsessed” with his child. The source noted that Justin is a “really good dad.” As for Hailey, the insider said that her “main priority is being a mom right now.”

Justin and Hailey hope to have “a big family” one day, but aren’t in a rush to expand their brood. When it comes to adding siblings for Jack, the source noted that they feel it’s “up to ‘God’s plan.’”

Selling Sunset’s Chrishell Stause is opening up about how she “froze in fear” during the L.A. wildfires evacuations.

The reality star, 43, shared during her Wednesday, January 15 appearance on Sherri that the fires and subsequent evacuation process brought back long buried memories of watching her home burn down as a child.

“When we did need to evacuate, there was a fire kind of like right in our backyard. It was just immediately like, ‘You gotta go,'” she explained during the episode. “I think I kind of got frozen in fear. I kind of had forgotten, when I was 12, I did watch my house burn down.”

Stause added that the incident was “something you don’t think about. It happened so long ago.”

Chrishell Stause on Feuds, Fame and ‘Selling Sunset’ Season 7

However, it led her to “freeze” when it came time to evacuate. Stause credited her wife, Australian singer G Flip (real name Georgia Claire Flipo) with taking charge during the evacuations while the reality TV star struggled due to her past experience with fires.

“You don’t know how you’re gonna react. I think I would’ve liked to have thought I’m good in an emergency case,” Stause continued. “But this kinda showed me, I really needed a little kick in the butt, and G was there to keep me focused and so it was just nice to have them.”

Stause further praised G Flip via an Instagram Story last week as she reflected on her traumatic childhood experience.

“A little PTSD  from that whole experience that I completely forgot about until last night as I’m standing there in shock,” she said. “Luckily I had my partner who is amazing who snapped me out of it and helped me stay focussed.”

While Stause was evacuated, she was fortunate enough to not lose her home in the wildfires ravaging parts of Los Angeles including the exclusive Pacific Palisades area, Malibu, Santa Monica and the Hollywood Hills. Stause is one of many celebrities caught up in the natural disaster. Stars such as Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Paris Hilton and Miles Teller are among those whose houses went up in flames and were reduced to rubble.

Chrishell Stause Says Partner G Flip Was 'Sent' To Her by Late Parents

Stause started seeing G Flip after her split from Jason Oppenheim in late 2021. Stause and G Flip went on to tie the knot in May 2023.

Stause gushed over her relationship with G Flip in an interview with Vogue in June 2022, telling the outlet, “just being around G [is] such a mood-lifting experience; if you ever had the pleasure of being in the same room with them, you would quickly see what I mean. I love feeling that endless support of just wanting the other person to be fully who they are.”

ADA Dominick “Sonny” Carisi has a close-knit relationship with Olivia Benson onscreen, but so do Law & Order: Special Victims Unit actors Peter Scanavino and Mariska Hargitay.

“I think my relationship with Mariska really mirrors their relationship,” Scanavino, 44, told Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the SVU winter premiere on Thursday, January 16. “When I came on the show, I always respected her. I looked up to her as an actor and even as a friend. I think Carisi did as well, as a detective.”

When Scanavino joined SVU during the 16th season premiere in 2014, Carisi was an “inexperienced detective” and worked his way up within the squad. He’s since pivoted to being an ADA in the Law and Order universe.

“As their relationship has grown, so has mine with Mariska,” he continued. “It’s one of the most important relationships I have in my life. She’s one of my best friends. We can speak very honestly with each other in real life, just like Benson and Carisi can speak very honestly with each other.”

Mariska Hargitay's Top 10 Best Law & Order: SVU Episodes

Thursday’s winter premiere of SVU was semi Carisi-centric as the character deals with uncovering his trauma in the aftermath of the show’s November 2024 fall finale. The episode, titled “First Light,” is Carisi’s first time back in the courtroom after he was held at gunpoint at his local deli. During one scene — after declaring several times that he’s “fine” — Carisi seemingly blows the case after fumbling in court. He and Benson have a rather tense but rewarding heart-to-heart after the fact.

“That one scene in particular, it’s nice how it’s kind of followed that [journey]. It all feels very earned,” Scanavino told Us. “There was nothing forced, nothing pushed. It was just an organic relationship evolving into this thing where they’re very, very close now.”

Another relationship showcased during Thursday’s episode is, obviously, that of Carisi and his wife, Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish). Scanavino told Us that Carisi is “in good hands” with Rollins when it comes to overcoming these hard times.

The family scenes between him and Giddish featured in Thursday’s episode “feel very real” to Scanavino, he said.

Actors Who Played Multiple Roles on ‘Law & Order: SVU’

“I have a family and I think Carisi and myself are very similar in that way. I think we really prize family above all else,” he shared with Us. “Working with Kelli, who I have such respect for personally, and I just think Rollins as a character — who’s obviously been through a lot — she’s very well-suited to deal with somebody else going through something.”

Scanavino also said that he’s “not quite sure” how Carisi overcoming his trauma will play out as SVU season 26 continues.

“At the end of this episode, what you can see is that he’s starting on the path. The clouds have parted just momentarily and you can see a way forward,” he said. “We’ll see what happens if he gets confronted again with this. If he has to revisit this in a trial or whatever form that may take.”

Law & Order: SVU season 26 airs on NBC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Peacock.

Things got heated when The Traitors contestants came for Dylan Efron‘s brother Zac Efron — and his acting skills.

During the newest episode, which premiered on Thursday, January 16, Dylan, 32, called out Bob the Drag Queen at the roundtable banishment meeting.

“I genuinely think he is a Traitor. Like what is an easier game for a Traitor to play? I would play a very quiet game because I can’t be boisterous,” he said. “What would Bob do? Bob is an amazing actor.”

Dylan used his experience with Zac, 35, adding, “I grew up with an actor.” Without missing a beat, Bob, 39, replied, “Not a good one.”

The rest of the cast weren’t thrilled by Bob’s dig at Zac. “That was not nice,” Dolores Catania noted before adding later in the episode, “Good job, Dylan. And listen, your brother is a good actor.”

Zac, 37, has been a big topic of conversation on the competition show despite not making any appearances — yet. He previously rose to stardom after landing a multitude of TV and movie roles, including 2006’s High School Musical, while Dylan spent more time behind the scenes working as a producer and stuntman on various projects.

“I’ve been behind the camera. But being able to not stay behind the scenes has been a really nice change,” Dylan exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2023 about his plans to try something new. “So I think as long as I can kind of wear all those hats and still kind of craft the stories I want to tell [that would be great]. To be able to experience it firsthand, it’s really nice. It’s a good mix of both worlds.”

Dylan admitted at the time that he couldn’t see himself working on a scripted project.

“What Zac does, I could never do. I play myself in front of a camera while Zac’s playing characters. It is two different skill sets,” he added. “He can play different characters and I can only play myself.”

After working on Netflix’s docuseries Down to Earth With Zac, Dylan praised his older brother for setting a good example on set.

“I love doing stuff with my brother. There’s a really comforting thing being with family [and] doing this stuff. That’s always going to be high up there on what I love to do. But I think it’s good that we do things separately too,” he continued. “Because I remember back in the day, we wanted to do a show together and I really wouldn’t have been prepared for that. He’s been in front of the camera his whole life and it’s been second nature for him. I was a shy little kid, so I’ve had to grow into that.”

Dylan said he would be thrilled to work with Zac on a project again in the future. “It’ll be the right time now,” he shared. “We’re still thinking [about what to do]. We’re in the thinking process. We really want to just take a step back and see what stories we want to tell, how we can do it and enjoy ourselves. We want to keep leveling it up.”

Who Is Zac Efron's Brother Dylan? What to Know About 'Traitors' Contestant

Before Dylan became a breakout star of The Traitors season 3, Zac subtly showed support for his brother’s newest endeavor.

“I think Dylan’s going to win,” Zac told E! News in June 2024. “I hope he does, because he’s so good at games. He always has been, since we were kids. He’s like the game master. … If anyone can do this, it’s him. I’m rooting for him.”

New episodes of The Traitors will be released on Peacock Thursdays until March 6.

Surviving Barstool season 4 has come to an end after more than a month.

The game show, based on Survivor, puts some of Barstool Sports’ biggest names under one roof to compete — this time around — for $250,000. The most recent season, which came to an end on Thursday, January 16, was full of firsts, from the number of employees who were competing (24) to where the competition took place (at Barstool’s Chicago office).

Host Jeff D. Lowe said during the December 2024 premiere that Barstool founder Dave Portnoy put together the major group of contestants.

“I have no idea what to expect, it’s an all-star cast,” Portnoy, who was also in the competition, said. “I don’t think we’ll ever get this group of people back together in one room. I’m excited.”

Lowe noted that this season was “bigger in every way” — especially as it had multiple sponsors like Body Armor, Reebok, Dude Wipes and Tommy John.

Who Won ‘Surviving Barstool’ Season 4?

Ria Ciuffo took home the Surviving Barstool prize during Thursday’s finale.

She beat out remaining final four members Megan “Makin Money” Nunez, Dave Portnoy and Maddie “Moobie” Schrader for the crown.

Who Is Ria Ciuffo Winner?

Ciuffo, who won this season, has hosted the “Chicks in the Office” podcast alongside Fran Mariano since 2017. She has worked at Barstool since getting hired as an intern. Ciuffo is engaged to fellow Barstool employee Marty Mush.

How Much Money Does the ‘Surviving Barstool’ Winner Get?

Previously, the stakes have been much lower. This season, the winner received $250,000 in cash, which was kept in a briefcase that was shown in the beginning of the season.

“I love the cast, and I wanted to make it a prize worthwhile, where maybe some people who would be on the fence or wouldn’t have play would be like, ‘Yeah, I’ll play for this,’” Portnoy said during the first episode of season 4, detailing the higher prize.

What Is the ‘Surviving Barstool’ and ‘Bussin’ With the Boys’ Drama?

“Bussin’ With the Boys” hosts Taylor Lewan and Will Compton (who won Surviving Barstool season 3 in 2024) were voted out during what was called the “Pink Wedding” this season.

After their elimination, it was explained why Portnoy didn’t want either of them to take home the prize.

“Right now, the ‘Bussin’ With the Boys’ crew is in a negotiation for a bag on the next contract,” Compton said during his confessional earlier this month. “You gotta think, if you’re Dave and Dan [“Big Cat” Katz], you can’t have the ‘Bussin With the Boys’ guys running wild, winning $250K.”

After their elimination from the show, Compton texted Ciuffo about backstabbing Portnoy and getting him out of the competition despite her alliance. She refused.

It has yet to be confirmed whether their contract was renewed.

For The Traitors fans in desperate need of more content, look no further than Peacock’s aftershow.

Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders (which previously led to a popular U.K. version), The Traitors brings together celebrities, especially reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000.

Season 3 features Wells Adams, Gabby Windey, Ciara Miller, Chrishell Stause, Jeremy Collins, Carolyn Wiger, Tony Vlachos, Bob the Drag Queen, Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes. Bob Harper, Dylan Efron, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Sam Asghari and Nikki Bella made up the rest of the group with later additions Rob “Boston Rob” Mariano, Wes Bergmann and Derrick Levasseur.

The online aftershow dropped new installments after each episode that featured never-before-seen interviews with banished and murdered contestants. After the three-part premiere, Wells and Dorinda were the first to speak out about their exits.

All the Bravo and ‘Real Housewives’ Connections in ‘The Traitors’ Season 3

“I think before the show started, I said I would be the first one out, and I got to say I am pretty proud of myself because I was the second one,” he quipped in the January 2025 aftershow clip. “I did not stick to my plan. That thing that got me banished was that as an ex-radio host, it is really hard for me to shut the hell up.”

Meanwhile, Ayan was more direct in her episode with Tony.

“So these bitches are just killing Housewives. I just figured that out. Everybody is jealous of a Housewife,” she told the cameras. “My son said, ‘Mom, you are the worst liar ever. If you are not going to be the first person killed then I would be proud of you.’ Guess what? Mommy was the third person murdered.”

The Real Housewives of Dubai star continued: “I didn’t have a strategy. I am a beauty bitch, I am not a thinking bitch. I think I was killed because I am fabulous.”

Ayan Guesses Her Killer

While the aftershow reveals to each banished and murdered person who the Traitors actually are, Ayan named one herself.

“Bob the Drag Queen, I think he killed me. I thought that he was jealous about my looks because a couple of times he would [make a face],” she shared. “I am like, ‘What the f— is wrong with this man?’ He goes, ‘But I came with the looks. I thought I was going to be the look queen.’ I was like, ‘Oh, s—. He does not want to see me fabulous.'”

Ayan said she “was going to call” Bob out as a Traitor before being murdered.

“I am so used to people being jealous of me and I knew nobody was going to kill me because everybody loved my looks,” she continued. “Everybody gave me compliments but you did not give me no f—– compliments and that is why you killed me, bitch. And you will never be as fabulous as me.”

All Rules and Behind-the-Scenes Secrets You Didn’t Know About ‘The Traitors’

Putting Boston Rob on Blast

Tony was banished in part because Boston Rob named him at the roundtable. He subsequently accused Boston Rob of being a Traitor himself.

“Alan gave us cryptic clues again by saying, ‘Trust needs to be earned, not given.’ So all I am thinking about the three new players that came in,’” Tony said before it was revealed that his suspicion was right.

Ayan also had a bad experience with Boston Rob.

”The reason why I am dead was [Rob] used me. I f—ing never felt used in my life. He promised that he was going to give me the shield. I gave him nine coins, nobody else did that,” she noted. “And he went and trusted someone else? I am a supermodel. I ran for you. You need to come and bow down and thank the queen for that.”

The Bravo personality suspected Carolyn as well, adding, “She kept on asking me if I got a shield all night. Then I kept drinking red wine so I don’t know if I told her.”

The Dylan Efron Compliment

“I like [Dylan], he was good to look at. He reminds me of Ted Bundy,” Ayan told the camera while comparing Zac Efron’s brother to the notorious serial killer. “Ted Bundy was so pretty but then he was also a killer. So I just pray to God that Dylan is not the serial killer.”

Not Caring About Danielle’s Game

In addition to calling Danielle a “hot grandmother,” Ayan had some interesting things to say when Tony asked her about Danielle’s skills as a Traitor.

“She has a nice ass for her age. Like it is super up there for a 52-year-old woman,” Ayan said. “Her ass made me think she wasn’t a Traitor.”

Reflecting on a Friendship

Meanwhile, in Wells and Dorinda’s aftershow, the Bachelor in Paradise bartender had a special shout-out for Ayan.

“Ayan is the most wonderful person I ever met in my entire life — excluding my wife,” Wells, who is married to actress Sarah Hyland, shared.

The Tom Sandoval Dig

“The fact that Tom Sandoval is still there and we are not,” Dorinda pointed out to Wells, who replied, “What does that say about us?”

The duo joked about being the first ones out compared to Sandoval. “Now that is really bad,” Dorinda quipped.

“I’m so sorry for your loss, my heart aches with your family. I never had the pleasure of knowing Chris, he was an incredible inspirational figure for myself and motivated me to go to the gym,” the fan wrote on Wednesday, January 15. “I loved watching him share his life online, showing his adventures and his passions and living life to the absolute fullest with a burning smile. I’m heartbroken for you for the loss of such an amazing and influential individual. My thoughts and condolences are with you as you grieve.”

A cause of death was not officially listed. However, E! News reported that the Maricopa County Medical Examiner’s office ruled it a suicide.

Southern Hospitality star Emmy Sharrett is set on marrying boyfriend Will Kulp — despite rumors that he was unfaithful while in law school.

“Will has 110 percent been faithful to me,” Emmy, 26, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 15, later adding, “I do not believe Will cheated on me at all for one second.”

The reality star shut down the “narrative” that she is “so dead set on being a lawyer’s wife that I don’t care if Will cheats on me,” claiming that if he stepped out on her that would be the end of their relationship.

“I would dump Will in two seconds if he cheated on me, gone goodbye. I will not be disrespected,” Emmy declared. “Do it once, I will warn you. Do it again, I’ll break up with you and I won’t look back. And that’s how I’ve always been.”

She noted that thanks to her parents’ “beautiful marriage” she has “very high standards” and is willing to walk away from Will if he doesn’t meet them.

Emmy also pointed out that since Will is in year two of law school he is “tens of hundreds of thousands of dollars in student loan debt” and she is the “breadwinner” now.

During the season 3 Southern Hospitality trailer, which dropped in November 2024, Will was accused of sleeping with “multiple people” during year one of law school while Emmy was back in Charleston.

Southern Hospitality’s Will Denies Cheating on Emmy: ‘I’m Getting Attacked’

As the season has unfolded, almost all of Emmy and Will’s friends have claimed that Will drunkenly badmouthed his girlfriend. He allegedly told people at Republic that Emmy is no longer “fun” because she stopped drinking and made more unkind comments.

“I knew about what Will had done already, and I don’t think people knew I knew because I never talked to my friends about it,” Emmy told Us of the comments Will made behind her back. “A lot of it is also being exaggerated, as you can imagine.”

Emmy claimed that when Will went off about her allegedly not having any drive and slammed her body transformation he was “stressed out” ahead of exams. Will had also broken his ankle and had just had surgery, according to the VIP server.

“You take it out on the people closest to you and you say stuff you don’t mean because you’re avoiding the reality of what’s really causing your pain in your life, which for him at the time was law school,” Emmy alleged. “Will and I had our own conversation about it where he was incredibly apologetic and embarrassed, and he knew it was inappropriate.”

She was adamant that what viewers will see Will say on the show was “not as crazy and as bad” as it was in real time.

“If Will was living this happy, luxurious life where he was a bachelor, making all this money and wasn’t struggling with his mental health, struggling in law school, not doing well [and] in chronic pain — if he was in a good place and this happened [it’d be a] different story,” Emmy explained. “But the context of [it] — I [had just] nursed Will for weeks and I know exactly what he was going through and his mental state. So I have a lot of understanding and empathy for it.”

She added: “Do I condone it? No. Was it unacceptable? Yes. But nobody’s perfect and we all make mistakes.”

Emmy noted that she overlooked Will’s harsh words, and they are in a good place. In fact, she’s ready to head to the altar whenever he pops the question.

“Will has a three-year plan because he’s in school, so it only makes sense to then build a plan off of that as far as our relationship goes,” she told Us, saying that “realistically this would be the year that he would propose.”

Southern Hospitality’s Emmy Says She Didn’t ‘Betray’ Maddi With Promotion

Emmy said that since Will has a short break after law school graduation in 2026 and taking the bar that summer, getting married before the end of 2026 sounds perfect.

“Probably summer [or] fall of 2026 is probably when we would have a wedding. It just makes sense,” she gushed. “We’ve been dating for three years, so it’ll be four years in October. So it’s a long time. So it’s not like this is crazy out of the blue.”

Emmy teased that “by the end of this year” she is expecting a ring. “It would just make the most sense, but I always say that’s between Will and my dad,” she concluded, noting, “Plans always change.”

Southern Hospitality airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Kenny Law, who starred on the Discovery Channel docuseries Moonshiners, has died. He was 68.

Kenny’s death was announced via a Facebook post by Law’s Choice Distillery on Wednesday, January 15.

“With sorrow, we announce that Everett ‘Kenny’ Law passed away peacefully on January 14, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. ” the post read. “We will share his obituary as soon as possible. Thank you to everyone so far for the outpouring of love, support and prayers. ”

The post was accompanied by a photo of the third-generation, Virginia-based distiller sitting beside a creek holding a bottle of moonshine.

No official cause of death has been released. However, Kenny’s cousin Henry Law, who ran Law’s Choice Distillery with Kenny, told TMZ on Thursday, January 16 that Kenny died at a local hospital after suffering multiple health issues over the past few years.

According to Henry, Kenny suffered a heart attack in 2024 and had been dealing with heart trouble. In addition, he struggled with diabetes amid his health struggles, per TMZ.

Kenny was best known for starring in Moonshiners, which premiered in 2011 and is currently in season 14. According to Discovery, the series follows “a diverse group of people living in Appalachia who carry on a 200-year-old tradition passed down from their forefathers, making moonshine.”

Kenny’s Moonshiners costar Amanda Bryant, 32, honored the late distiller with a tribute via social media.

“Last Night We Lost a True Legend, Kenny Law from our Moonshiner Family,” she wrote via Facebook. “You will be dearly missed, it was an Honor to know you and call you my friend. Rest Easy Big Guy.”

She added, “Prayers for the whole Law family in this time. They are dear friends of mine and my heart breaks for each of them. Rest In Peace Kenny Law Much Respect to you Always.”

The official Moonshiners Facebook page also paid tribute to Kenny with a touching post following his death.

“We’re deeply saddened about Kenny Law’s passing. He was a treasured member of our Moonshiners community since season eight,” the post read. “We extend our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones. Shine on, Kenny.”

According to his obituary, Kenny is survived by “his daughter and son-in-law, Kenzie and Nathan Wright; grandsons, Atlas and Fox Wright; brothers, David Law and Ronnie (Suzanne) Law; cousin, Henry Lee Law who was like a brother to him; and many beloved aunts, nephews, nieces and cousins.”

Naming Chrishell Stause as a potential Traitor was just one of many mistakes Tom Sandoval made while filming season 3.

“I thought it was ridiculous,” Chrishell, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly about Sandoval’s initial approach. “I just felt like of all the people and all the minds at this table, do we really think Sandoval solved the puzzle in 0.5 seconds of leaving the room? No.”

Chrishell noted that Sandoval’s decision to name her right off the bat “worked” in her favor, adding, “I felt like he was so loud and so wrong. It really felt like whoever he says [the Traitor] is, we probably know it isn’t. So I think it helped in my case, to be honest.”

During the three-episode premiere, Sandoval, 42, got off to a rocky start when he accused Chrishell of not being a Faithful despite no evidence to support his theory. The pair faced off at the first roundtable banishment meeting where Chrishell accused Sandoval of naming her just because she’s close with his ex-girlfriend Ariana Madix.

All Rules and Behind-the-Scenes Secrets You Didn’t Know About ‘The Traitors’

“He’s terrible [at playing the game]. To be honest with you, there was no other reason for him saying my name,” she said. “He just said it so blatantly that he knew I was a Traitor. Of course he’s going to act like, ‘Oh, I really was just playing the game.’ To me, it felt personal and you probably can’t change your mind at this point.”

Chrishell told Us she “definitely” didn’t ask Ariana, 39, for advice about dealing with Sandoval before joining the hit Peacock series. Before he was cast as a season 3 contestant, Sandoval received major backlash after his March 2023 split from Ariana due to an affair with their Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.

After Sandoval and Ariana’s breakup made headlines, Chrishell weighed in, writing via X alongside a red carpet photo of her and Ariana, “I love when we can all agree on something.”

Rumors of a feud between Sandoval and Chrishell began in November 2024 when she shared a series of promotional photos of all her fellow contestants — except Sandoval. The Selling Sunset star didn’t address the omission at the time but is now opening up about her strategy going into the show.

“It was to make friends and lay low. You don’t want to really even make the edit that much in the beginning. My name was being brought up at the very first round table. I went in with the best of intentions and had to throw that game plan away,” she recalled. “I had to go with what I could, which was to really defend myself and make sure people felt like I was a Faithful.”

Chrishell continued: “But then if you do too good of a job, you’ll be up for murder. So I knew I had to get a shield and then I had to defend myself at the roundtable. At that point in time [after Sandoval named me], my game plan was shot.”

From ‘Housewives’ to ‘Hills,’ Relive the Biggest Reality TV Feuds

The reality star was able to avoid getting banished — or murdered — in the first two rounds but it remains to be seen how long she lasted as a Faithful on The Traitors.

“This season is crazy. Every single episode is going to leave you on the edge of your seat because in the middle of filming I was just thinking, ‘Wow, how are they going to edit this?’ Because even the round tables had you on the edge of your seat the whole time,” she teased. “I thought the first three episodes were so entertaining. Even if I take myself out of it, I’m such a fan of the show. It’s one of the situations where I’ll just say buckle up because you are going to be a very bumpy and very entertaining ride.”

New episodes of The Traitors will be released on Peacock Thursdays until March 6.

Julia Stiles has learned a thing or two since becoming a mother — and her career in Hollywood has benefited because of parenthood.

“Being a mother is such good training for being a director,” Stiles, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Wish You Were Here premiere in New York City on Wednesday, January 15. “You have to be good at time management, you have to be a multitasker.”

She compared managing her three children to directing a set efficiently, especially when unforeseen issues arise. (Stiles shares sons Strummer, 6, and Arlo, 2, and a third baby born in 2023 with husband Preston Cook.)

“You have to be present but also think 10 steps ahead. You have to be able to operate really well with sleep deprivation,” Stiles joked while celebrating her latest film’s release at the Crosby Street Hotel.

Julia Stiles Is ‘Grateful’ for Fame But Admits ‘It Can Be a Little Scary’

The actress explained that with both directing and parenting you must “manage people’s emotions and needs but also guide them.” She concluded, “A hundred percent [it’s] the best training.”

Stiles most recently directed and cowrote Wish You Were Here, which follows a woman named Charlotte (Isabelle Fuhrman) on her search for love. When she finds someone special, she learns the man (Mena Massoud) is terminally ill, so she commits to helping him celebrate the last days of his life.

“I wanted to make a romantic movie that was really all about the human characters,” she said about the project, which premieres on Friday, January 17.

While Stiles told Us that her kids are “still a little young” to see most of her movies, her eldest child came to set with her for Wish You Were Here.

“[He] really loved that, so he is excited about this one,” she gushed.

Stiles, for her part, is even more proud of this project since it is her directorial debut. (This is her first feature film as a director after working on a short in 2007 and a few episodes of Paloma.)

“I would do [many] things differently. There’s so many movies that I was in that I would want to do over on only because I was so young and it was a lot of trial and error,” Stiles told Us, reflecting on her evolution both in front and behind the camera.

She explained, “You learn so much as you get older. And now being behind the camera, I really see what it’s like to be in an editing room and how a whole film comes together. And then if you really trust your director, they will protect you in the editing room.”

Stiles noted that “overall” she would’ve “like to not have been afraid” as an actress when she started out and instead learned more about the behind-the-scenes portion earlier. “That’s where it all goes down.”

Wish You Were Here hits theaters on Friday, January 17.

Donald Trump is calling on some big names in Hollywood to help him in his upcoming administration.

“It is my honor to announce Jon Voight, Mel Gibson, and Sylvester Stallone, to be Special Ambassadors to a great but very troubled place, Hollywood, California,” the President-elect, 78, wrote via Truth Social on Thursday, January 16. “They will serve as Special Envoys to me for the purpose of bringing Hollywood, which has lost much business over the last four years to Foreign Countries, BACK — BIGGER, BETTER, AND STRONGER THAN EVER BEFORE!”

Trump added that the three “very talented people” will serve as his “eyes and ears” in the entertainment realm.

“I will get done what they suggest,” he continued. “It will again be, like The United States of America itself, The Golden Age of Hollywood!”

Carrie Underwood to Perform at Donald Trump's Inauguration

After the news broke, Gibson, 69, hinted that he learned of his appointment at the same time as the rest of the world but shared he was excited about the new role.

“I got the tweet at the same time as all of you and was just as surprised,” the Oscar winner said in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday. “Nevertheless, I heed the call. My duty as a citizen is to give any help and insight I can. Any chance the position comes with an Ambassador’s residence?”

Stallone, 78, Gibson and Voight, 86, who are all award-winning actors, have been vocal supporters of Trump over the years. Stallone made an appearance at Trump’s Florida home at Mar-a-Lago and introduced him during a November 2024 event. Gibson, for his part, publicly endorsed Trump in the 2024 election.

Sylvester Stallone Through the Years: 'Rocky' to 'The Family Stallone'

In addition to his Hollywood ambassadors, Trump also listed several other members he plans on welcoming to his team before his inauguration on Monday, January 20.

Trump will be sworn in on Monday as the 47th president and the occasion will feature several musical guests including Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Billy Ray Cyrus, Gavin DeGraw, Rascal Flatts, Kid Rock, The Village People and more.

“I love our country & am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” Underwood, 41, said in a statement. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Phaedra Parks is not that impressed with Alan Cumming’s new Traitors.

“It’s the third episode and [the faithfuls] figured out two Traitors already, so I’m not sure if they are overplaying their hand because they’re coming in hot quite a bit,” Parks, 51, exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 15, when partnering with Silk. “To be a great Traitor, you really need to just blend in and make people like you personally. [Have them] really enjoy spending time with you versus being overly dramatic because I think that makes people sort of wonder, ‘Why are you so dramatic?’”

During season 2 of The Traitors, Parks teamed up with fellow Traitors Dan Gheesling and Parvati Shallow to “murder” the faithful cast members in a mafia-style game.

Cumming, who continues to host the show, originally chose RuPaul’s Drag Race star Bob the Drag Queen, Survivor’s Carolyn Wiger and Big Brother’s Danielle Reyes as Traitors for season 3.

All the Bravo and ‘Real Housewives’ Connections in ‘The Traitors’ Season 3

A cast member who has grabbed the attention of Parks this season is one of her fellow Bravolebrities.

“The person that will least likely be detected is the young lady, Ciara [Miller] from Summer House,” Parks explained. “She’s coming in right under the radar. She’s not sweating like Tom Sandoval. I thought Tom was one to watch, but he’s definitely a little strange. I love Tom, but I mean, he seems to sweat quite a bit, and I think that makes you quite suspicious.”

To this day, Parks has no regrets about how she played her game. She had a “wonderful time” playing and continues to believe that nobody should underestimate the Bravo stars competing.

“I think Housewives are always underestimated because people just consider us glamorous and drinking champagne and hanging out,” she said. “But being a Housewife definitely calls for a definite skill set of fighting a battle that you might not win, but it’s got to be one with strategy.”

Away from any castles, Parks — who shares sons Ayden, 14, and Dylan, 11, with ex-husband Apollo Nida — is back home in Atlanta where she is preparing to star in the new season of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.

Before then, she’s teaming up with America’s No. 1 plant-based beverage brand, Silk, to host the first-ever Silk & cereal pop-up in New York City to prove that Silk Vanilla Almond milk makes the best cereal companion.

'The Traitors' Season 3 Features Surprise Cameos From 2 Fan Favorites

“As a mom to two young men — now a teenager and a preteen — cereal is a huge part of our meals,” Parks said. “Breakfast fuels for the day, but also I love cereal sometimes as an evening snack. It’s great because it’s got 50 percent more calcium than dairy milk, so it’s more nutritious and delicious. Who can beat that?”

The Traitors is streaming now on Peacock. A premiere date for season 16 of The Real Housewives of Atlanta has yet to be announced.

Justin Baldoni believes Blake Lively had an influence on how his It Ends With Us costars treated him.

According to Baldoni’s new $400 million lawsuit obtained by Us Weekly on Thursday, January 16, Lively allegedly “induced the other cast members to shun Baldoni, in an early attempt to give fans the impression that Baldoni had committed an egregious sin.”

Court documents stated that Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and It Ends With Us author Colleen Hoover all unfollowed Baldoni on social media.

“Other cast members also unfollowed Baldoni, creating the false impression that Baldoni had done something wrong,” the documents alleged.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Reported 'It Ends With Us' Drama Explained

“The unfollowing of Baldoni by cast members and even the author of the book, who he had a longstanding relationship with, was done without warning or any communication from them,” the lawsuit alleges, “in stark contrast to the warm praise and appreciation cast members had until that point always showered on him.”

Baldoni’s team proceeded to cite text messages allegedly from cast member Isabela Ferrer who wrote: “Thank you for being a great director and being so wonderful to work with already.”

In December 2024, Lively first accused Baldoni of sexual harassment and orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

In the complaint obtained by Us, Lively alleged that Baldoni created a “hostile work environment” and caused her “severe emotional distress.”

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, denied the accusations in a statement to Us and claimed Lively filed the suit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about what went down before the film hit theaters in August 2024.

After the New York Times published an article outlining Lively’s allegations, the actress received support on social media from cast members including Brandon Sklenar and Jenny Slate as well as Hoover, who also served as an executive producer.

“Blake Lively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” Hoover wrote via her Instagram Story in December 2024. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”

In a second statement, Hoover declared that “Blake’s ability to refuse to sit down and ‘be buried’ has been nothing short of inspiring.”

Following Baldoni’s lawsuit against Lively, his attorney released a statement to Us stating the suit “is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Alleged Feud and Lawsuits Explained

The statement continued, “It is clear based on our own all out willingness to provide all complete text messages, emails, video footage and other documentary evidence that was shared between the parties in real time, that this is a battle she will not win and will certainly regret. Blake Lively was either severely misled by her team or intentionally and knowingly misrepresented the truth.”

“Ms. Lively will never again be allowed to continue to exploit actual victims of real harassment solely for her personal reputation gain at the expense of those without power,” the statement read. “Let’s not forget, Ms. Lively and her team attempted to bulldoze reputations and livelihoods for heinously selfish reasons through their own dangerous manipulation of the media before even taking any actual legal action. We know the truth, and now the public does too. Justin and his team have nothing to hide, documents do not lie.”

Us reached out to Lively’s rep for comment on the lawsuit.

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni met on the set of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in 1999 — and decades later their bond is still going strong.

“I have a million memories from the pilot, especially the immediate chemistry with Chris. We were filming in the Meatpacking District, and it was really hot and raining, so we all had to wear baseball caps,” Hargitay recalled to TV Insider in 2018. “I was going, ‘How lucky is this California girl to be shooting a television series in New York with this fantastic actor and fantastic crew!'”

For years, fans wanted their characters, Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler, to come together romantically, but that never happened. Instead, Elliot and Liv formed a seemingly unbreakable working relationship and friendship — until he unexpectedly left the unit at the end of season 12 in 2011.

Meloni returned to SVU for the first time in 10 years in an April 2021 episode before kicking off his series, Law & Order: Organized Crime. The two actors have since crossed over to each other’s shows — and their chemistry still can’t be beat.

Scroll down for Hargitay and Meloni’s quotes about their friendship:

Don’t call it a comeback, but Cameron Diaz has officially returned to the red carpet, making her first appearance on the crimson rug on Wednesday, January 15, after taking a ten-year hiatus from Hollywood.

When she stepped out for the Berlin premiere of her new Netflix film Back in Action, she turned heads in a full Gucci look with a decidedly laid back twist that was right in line with her eternally cool California girl aesthetic. She ditched high heels in favor of Gucci penny loafers that grounded dark denim mom jeans and a sheer blouse, then threw an oversize coat on top for an extra layer of swagger.

But former model Diaz, 51, has always been a red carpet standout, and her celebrity peers have long praised her directional style, a unique brand of poetic bohemia that consistently sets her apart.

In her Vogue May 2003 cover story, Diaz’s Charlie’s Angels costar Lucy Liu said of her friend’s wardrobe: “For Cameron, it’s an art form, and it’s all about transformation and change — like turning a skirt into a tube top. Something could cost $10 or $10,000 — either way, if she’s comfortable in it. She makes it work. She defines her own fashion, and people follow it.”

Cameron Diaz Ditches High Heels at 1st Premiere After 10-Year Break

During her mercurial rise in Hollywood, her red carpet aesthetic read like a masterclass in ’90s-era minimalism. She was a fan of all-black little black dresses that highlighted her mile-long legs and she’d add a kicky red heel to simple black pants with a halter top and a cardigan draped over her shoulders. She loved a jaunty hat, a midriff-baring crop top and lots (and lots) of blue eyeshadow — looks that would feel right at home on Gen-Z style stars of today.

As she landed bigger roles, she occasionally landed on the worst-dressed list. At the 2002 Academy Awards she wore an Emanuel Ungaro Haute Couture kimono dress that is now considered ahead of its time.

“Cameron was a collaborator. She was always open to mixing designers. She looked beautiful in clothes and she was a pleasure. Cameron was ahead of everyone,” her then-stylists, Clare and Nina Hallworth, have said. “She wore what felt right.”

More than 20 years later, a rewind of some of her best looks stand to serve as definitive proof that Diaz was always a red-carpet winner. Below, take a look back at 17 of our favorite Diaz moments, from the 1997 My Best Friend’s Wedding New York City movie premiere to 2007’s “Poiret: King of Fashion” Costume Institute Benefit at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Indiana Pacers guard Bennedict Mathurin disagreed with a foul call late in his team’s 127-117 loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, January 15, and he let official Natalie Sago know about it.

As a result, he’s been suspended one game without pay for “for making inappropriate contact with and verbally abusing a game official,” the NBA announced Thursday, January 16, in a release.

The incident came late in the fourth quarter as Mathurin, 22, chased down Cavaliers center Evan Mobley and attempted to block Mobley’s dunk attempt. Sago, 35, called Mathurin for a foul, causing the third-year player out of Arizona to immediately begin arguing, clapping directly behind Sago’s face and bumping into her.

Crew chief Zach Zarba confirmed after the game via an NBA pool report that Mathurin was “correctly called for” a foul after hitting Mobley.

NBA Star Anthony Edwards Can't Stop Cursing — And Getting Fined for It

Sago assessed Mathurin with two technical fouls and ejected him from the game as his teammates held him back while he continued protesting the call.

It was actually his third technical of the game; he also received a technical foul earlier in the game for hanging on the rim and pulling himself up after a dunk.

Mathurin finished the game with 19 points and four rebounds.

The suspension will cost him $41,642, according to ESPN. Mathurin, however, is in the midst of his first pro contract, worth $29,936,173 over four years.

“It was the moment,” Mathurin said after the game. “The game is so intense, especially myself — being this competitive, I just want to win. It was an unfortunate situation, but I was able to learn from it.”

Mathurin added that he has apologized to Sago.

“I went to see Natalie and everything’s all right,” he continued. “[I] wanted to apologize for the unfortunate situation. We were able to end on good terms. I wish her to have a great night, and the next time we meet, it’s all friendly.”

Sago has been a full-time NBA referee since 2018 when she became only the fifth woman ever to hold the position. She had officiated 233 career games coming into this season and earned NBA All-Star duties in 2022 — an assignment that goes to the best officials in the league.

Pacers coach Rick Carlisle called the incident an “emotional moment.”

“It happens all the time … disagreement on a call,” he said. “[Mathurin] got run and we just move on.”

The Pacers’ next game is Thursday night, on the road against the Detroit Pistons. Mathurin will be eligible to return Saturday, January 18, at home in a game against the Philadelphia 76ers.

TikTok beauty guru Mikayla Nogueira Hawken is replacing her lip glosses with Revlon’s Super Lustrous Glimmer Gloss.

After revealing Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, Nogueira, 26, exclusively spilled the tea to Us Weekly on the product, sharing her true thoughts on the stain. “You heard it here first, the Super Lustrous Glimmer Gloss is the next ‘It Girl’ lip gloss” the makeup artist revealed. “Whether I’m keeping it natural and glowy, or doing full glam, these products elevate every vibe with a little shimmer and shine,” Nogueira gushed. “It’s not sticky or gritty like a lot of other glosses out there; I’m obsessed.”

Revlon’s Glimmer Gloss, which launched on January 6, features 10 shades that are a “total game-changer” according to Nogueira. Her favorite? The Bronze Spark, which she told Us is a “chef’s kiss!”

“I’m totally addicted to the hydrating and nourishing formula, it makes my lips feel so soft and smooth after every use,” Nogueira continued. “I keep one of these lippies in each of my bags [along with the Revlon ColorStay Lip Liner] because I just can’t leave the house without it!”

Nogueira didn’t only gush about the product, but she also gave Us tips on how to use it in our glam routine. “For a night-out look, it’s all about layering that shimmer and shine! My current lip combo is the iconic Super Lustrous Glass Shine Balm in Rum Raisin with the Super Lustrous Glimmer Gloss in Glazed Almond for a juicy, sparkly lip that lasts.”

On makeup-free days, Nogueira puts a touch of Lip Oil on her pout to keep her pout hydrated and shiny.

When it comes to confidence, Nogueira feels her best with black hair and a bit of self-tan. She recently added red highlights to her midnight mane but told Us she’s not planning to experiment with other colors.

“The red highlights did not last very long,” she joked. “I got them for the holidays to spice it up, but for almost 15 years now, I have been dying my hair black. I feel most confident and most like myself with black hair.” Nogueira also noted that she “loves” the contrast between how dark her tresses are and how fair her skin is with her polarizing green eyes.

“I am naturally blonde which is interesting because most people only know me with black hair. I don’t think I will ever go back to my natural hair color,” Nogueira said while chatting with Us. While she hasn’t spotted any gray strands yet, the only way she could see herself changing her hair up is if she goes fully silver.

Nogueira also opened up to Us about what she’s “insecure” about, which is a red lip. “Every time I do a red lip for a video, I take it off right after,” she told Us, noting it would be “majorly” outside of her comfort zone to wear it on a red carpet — even though the guru admitted it would be a “power move.”

“I try so hard to feel confident and comfortable in a red lip, but I haven’t come around yet. I always preferred the focus to be on my eyes and not my lips,” she explained.

When it comes to her everyday routine, Nogueira uses a concealer that’s part of the Glimmer collection, the brand’s Brightening Concealer. “It’s like a cup of coffee for your face,” she quipped. “A little under my eyes goes a long way and it looks like I actually got eight hours of sleep, even if I didn’t.”

Nogueira also recommended the Glimmer Blush Drops to Us as a “dupe for some other high-end products” on the market.”

Makeup Artist-Approved Tips for a Sparkly Holiday Makeup Look

Something she’s still experimenting with is self-tanner. After joking that getting a bronze at home is not her “area of expertise” because her hands always turn out “awful,” she shared a tip she recently received from a fan.

“I saw a comment that said to do your hands last when you self-tan, let it sit for ten minutes, and wash your hands. It worked really well!” Nogueira told Us. “My hands actually matched the rest of me for once!” Her go-to tanning products include the Tree Hut scrub, Lux Unfiltered Shower Oil and Sol De Janeiro Body Butter.
