“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”
Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.
“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”
Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.
“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”

She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”
Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.
“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weeklyin October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”
Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.
Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.
He might be the object of many a heart’s desire (who could forget thatworkout photo?!), but Lenny Kravitz has been single for 10 years — and he’s happy that way.
“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” Kravitz, 60, told The Times in an interview published Saturday, February 22. “But right now, I’m good where I am.”
Kravitz’s relationship history is a storied one — he was married to Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, at which time the pair welcomed their daughter Zoe Kravitz in 1988. After the pair’s split, he went on to have a five-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, and was at one point even engaged to Nicole Kidman.
In May 2024, Kravitz also said he’s chosen to remain celibate until he finds the right partner, something The Times noted he appeared to wave off in this interview.
He was much more willing to talk about daughter Zoe, 36, who hilariously noted that her father’s “relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one — and it works” when Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2024.
“So now people come up to me when I’m wearing [one]: ‘What did your daughter tell you?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And I look down and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a caricature of myself,’” he told the publication.
The singer and actor also shared where he likes to shop for furniture (Paris flea markets, something Paradis introduced him to in the 1990s) and clothes (“I have certain vintage dealers that I deal with. They curate things, they know what I like.”) before he revealed he has a fondness for the Netflix series Emily in Paris.
“I’ve seen the whole thing,” he said. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”
Though Kravitz might have been single for a decade, it doesn’t seem that it’s completely for lack of trying — but maybe for lack of following through. In November 2024, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 57, claimed Kravitz asked for her number, but never actually called her.
“He was really nice,” she said on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast at the time. “He didn’t use my damn number.”
Perhaps it was for the best, Bailey continued, because she “didn’t feel any sparks” either way.
Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)
“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”
As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.
“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”

October 2010
“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”
June 2019
Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.
“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”
Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.

Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”
“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”
Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”
November 2020
“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”
Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.
“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”
Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swiftwrite songs for 2022’s Midnights.

“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”
January 2024
Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)
During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)
“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”
Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)
“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”
“Well, forever and always [my] #1 [is] forehead tox,” Iaconetti, 36, revealed during Friday, February 21, Instagram Story Q&A. “Botox is like saying the brand name Kleenex for tissue.”
Iaconetti also has a soft spot for lip filler, which she gets annually.
“My bottom lip is naturally full,” she explained. “Now, the top is perfectly balanced for my face IMO.”
The Bachelor Nation alum also recently underwent NeoGen PSR (Plasma Skin Regeneration), which is classified as a non-invasive skin treatment that targets acne scarring and promotes collagen production.
“I just did NeoGenPSR last month at @aiyanaatelier. It’s supposed to take six months to see full results, but basically, it’s the ultimate collagen booster,” she explained. “I feel like, despite Hayden getting me up three times per night, I’m still looking fresh and youthful lately.”

Iaconetti shares sons Dawson, 3, and Hayden, 7 months, with her husband, Jared Haibon. (The couple met during Bachelor in Paradise season 2 and got married in 2019.)
“It was actually easier than the first. I had two great deliveries and this one could not have been done better,” Iaconetti exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2024 of Hayden’s birth one month earlier. “Like, I basically didn’t feel pain. I felt pressure and really [no] pain.”
She added, “With Dawson, I probably felt pain for like an hour — going from triage to the delivery room and waiting for the epidural for a little bit. [This time], I was induced and it was just kind of like a doctor’s appointment. It was awesome.”
Iaconetti and Haibon, 36, previously welcomed eldest son Dawson in 2022 — and they are not thinking of expanding their family further.
In January 2024, Iaconetti exclusively told Us that the couple are “very done with two.”
Director Justin Baldoni’s religious beliefs are reportedly playing a part in his ongoing legal drama with It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.
Baldoni, 41, is a member of the Baha’i faith, a religion founded in the 19th century that focuses on the unity of humanity and the elimination of prejudice. Both of the directors’ parents converted to Baha’i before he was born. His religious beliefs, however, allegedly played a role in the on set drama between him and Lively, 37, during the production of It Ends With Us.
In Lively’s initial December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, the actress claimed she felt “alarmed” upon learning the actor cast as the doctor in her character’s birth scene, Adam Mondschein, was Baldoni’s “best friend.” A feature published by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, February 21, noted that Mondschein, like Baldoni, was a member of the Baha’i community as well. (Lively’s December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni does not mention the religion by name.)
Per THR, a source who worked on Baldoni’s 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed the director “talk[ed] about his religion a lot” on set, adding, “This had shades of Scientology but with less of the prominence and people hovering at all times.”
Baldoni’s response to the allegations here – can be one or two sentences max
Keep scrolling to find out more about the Baháʼí Faith:
When Did Bahá’í Start?
The Baha’i Faith was established in Iran under the Universal House of Justice in 1963, the same year that founder Baháʼu’lláh claimed to be the prophet foretold by the Báb, an Iranian religious leader who died in 1850. Per the religion’s official website, the origins of the Baha’i Faith began in 1819, the same year the Báb was born.
The Bahá’í World News Service reports that there are currently more than 5 million members around the world. Besides Baldoni, other Bahá’í celebrities include Rainn Wilson and Penn Badgley.
What Is the Universal House of Justice?
Established in 1963, the Universal House of Justice is the elected head and international governing council of the Baháʼí Faith. The functions of the body are defined by Baháʼu’lláh, which cover how to implement Baháʼí laws, teaching and education, addressing social issues and taking care of the weak and poor.
Per the official website, the Universal House of Justice “is charged with applying the Bahá’í teachings to the requirements of an ever-evolving society.” Baháʼu’lláh’s guidelines for the council — the members of which are elected — were further clarified by his son, Abdu’l-Bahá, after his death, who wrote that the “equality of men and women is an established fact.”
Despite the so-called established fact, the website notes that membership for the Universal House of Justice is men only.
“While this may be surprising, it is a provision that was ordained by Bahá’u’lláh Himself,” it reads. “Abdu’l-Bahá has stated that its wisdom will be clearly understood in the future. Because the Bahá’í Writings are filled with unequivocal statements about the equality of men and women, however, the question of male membership of the Universal House of Justice can in no way be regarded as a sign of the superiority of men over women.”
What Do Baha’is believe?
A pillar of the Baha’i Faith focuses on teaching the essential worth of all religions and the unity of all people. Per the official website’s overview, their beliefs address what are called “essential themes” including the “oneness” of God, religion and humanity, harmony between religion and science, equality of the sexes and the importance of education.
Bahá’ís also believe in the “inherent nobility of the human being,” the “development of spiritual qualities,” the “integration of worship and service,” with particular importance paid to the “dynamics of the relationships that are to bind together individuals, communities, and institutions as humanity advances towards its collective maturity.”
What do Bahá’ís do?
For a Bahá’í, the purpose of the faith is to “inspire individuals and communities as they work to improve their own lives and contribute to the advancement of civilization,” per the website, which also states that many followers have “sought to apply Bahá’í principles to their lives and work.”
Bahá’ís are encouraged to better their communities, sometimes through volunteering and outreach, all with the intention of “serving humanity and refining their inner lives.” A lot of focus is paid on the betterment of the “human soul” and working toward the “realization of Bahá’u’lláh’s stupendous vision for humanity’s coming of age.”
Additionally, as part of their devotion, followers are encouraged to take a pilgrimage to the religion’s holy site in Haifa, Israel. Baldoni shared a snapshot from his own pilgrimage via Instagram in December 2022, writing, “So grateful to be back in Haifa visiting the #bahai holy land on a three day pilgrimage. Praying in the Shrines of `Abdu’l-Bahá and The Báb was the spiritual cleanse I needed. Overflowing with gratitude tonight.”
Do Bahá’ís Pray?
Pilgrimages and prayer is integral to the Bahá’í Faith, “whether at the level of the individual, the community, or the institutions.” Followers are encouraged to “turn their hearts in prayer to God repeatedly throughout the day.”
The official site notes that “in addition, meetings of consultation and gatherings where friends have come together to undertake one or another project commonly begin and end with prayers.” Bahá’ís also host gatherings and “devotional meetings” for friends and other Bahá’ís to “unite together in prayer, often in one another’s homes,” which are meant to “serve to awaken spiritual susceptibilities within the participants, and in concert with the acts of service they perform, lead to a pattern of community life that is infused with the spirit of devotion and focused on the attainment of spiritual and material prosperity.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Friday feature, a source who previously worked with Baldoni on the 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed they had “never worked with a male director who was so worried about everyone’s emotional and mental well-being.” The source stated Baldoni had an “openness and emotionality to his style that was more typical of a woman, and it probably wouldn’t be an issue if it was a [female director] because of the preconceived notions of gender.”
However, other sources told the outlet that because Baldoni was both leading man and director of It Ends With Us, the influence of his religion on set was more pronounced, allegedly leading crew members in prayer on the first day of production where he would “ask God for guidance” before making creative decisions.
“I can’t believe she’s 4 already,” Brittany, 29, gushed via Instagram Stories on Saturday, February 22, sharing snaps from the Bluey-themed party she hosted based on the popular animated children’s series.
To celebrate Sterling’s big day, the party venue was decked out in themed merch and colorful balloons.
Sterling is the firstborn daughter of Brittany and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick, 29. (They also share younger children Bronze, 2, and Golden, 1 month.)
“This sweetest, most kind little girl ever! I thank God every day for choosing me to be your mom, you have taught me so much about life and what matters most and I truly am so thankful you made me a mama,” Brittany wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20. “You are the best big sister to Golden & Bronze and they are so lucky to have you guiding them your Mom and Dad love you beyond and more.”

“That’s not my decision. I got the easy part and I’ll keep doing my part,” Jason, 37, quipped during the Friday, February 21, episode of “The Steam Room” podcast. “I think Kylie’s about coming to the end of wanting to pop these things out. I think this pregnancy has been a long [one] for her. This is our fourth girl [and] this one might be it. We’ll see.”
Jason and Kylie, 32, have been married since 2018 and are parents to daughters Wyatt, 5, Ellie, 3, and Bennett, 23 months. They announced in November 2024 that they are expecting again.
According to the retired Philadelphia Eagles center, there “hasn’t been any firm decisions” made on whether their fourth baby will forever be the youngest Kelce child.
“We’ve talked about the V-word,” Jason teased on Friday, referring to a vasectomy procedure. “We’ve brought it up. I don’t know if it’s going to happen, but we’ll see.”
Jason had been specifically asked whether he and Kylie were eager to keep trying until they had a son.
“I don’t think it’s necessarily if we want to have a boy because, at the end of the day, we’re not shooting with good percentages,” Jason joked. “We got to give up on that idea. It’s like, ‘Do you want to have another child?’ Then, we’ll do that. But, I think as of right now, that’s not definitely happening.”
Kylie also wasn’t shocked that their soon-to-be fourth baby will be a girl.
“We were not surprised at all. There was a lot of talk, and I think there still are rumors that we’re having a boy, or that we were trying for a boy,” the field hockey coach told Parents magazine earlier this month. “It’s very silly. We were not trying for anything but a healthy baby. We’re so excited to meet her.”
Rather than be fixated on the baby’s sex, Jason and Kylie find it more important to raise down-to-earth children.
“We stay surrounded by family and friends, so we keep the people around us very close to us,” Kylie exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024 of how the couple keep their girls humble. “Then, we make sure that anything that we’re doing that they feel supported by their family and friends and then also not really putting them in any places of privilege.”
She added, “[We’re] trying our best to make sure that when they grow up and they turn 16, they will be driving a [used vehicle]. We can’t let them have a hand-me-down car at this point. You’re not getting dad’s [Tesla] CyberTruck as your hand-me-down. You will be driving a basic model, hopefully, having to roll the windows down with a crank.”
In another universe, Patrick Renna could have been cast in another iconic role after his portrayal of Ham in 1993’s The Sandlot.
“I auditioned for Entourage,” the Sandlot star, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the release of his new children’s book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseball and Life. “I’ve been in Hollywood my whole life, so, you know, if there’s a movie out there, I’d probably audition for it.”
Renna explained that he was under consideration to play Salvatore “Turtle” Assante on the HBO dramedy, which ran from 2004 to 2011. Turtle is the childhood best friend of Vincent Chase, who was played by Adrian Grenier.
Ultimately, Renna lost the role to Jerry Ferrara, who portrayed the character throughout the show’s entirety. Despite not booking the gig, Renna has been able to find some silver lining.
“I loved the way [Jerry] did it,” Renna said of Ferrara’s performance. “So, I got to have a favorite show back in the day.”
Turtle wasn’t the only timeless character Renna almost landed. The actor was also up for multiple parts in The Lord of the Ringstrilogy.
“I auditioned for Samwise Gamgee. And then I also auditioned for Merry and Pippin,” he recalled. “When you did it, you kind of auditioned for all of them. Anyone that sort of fits.”
Everett Collection
Renna walked away from the fantasy trilogy without a part. Sean Astin ended up playing Samwise, while Merry and Pippin went to Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd, respectively.
Much like his respect for Ferrara, Renna doesn’t have any hard feelings — especially since he’s a big fan of the J. R. R. Tolkien fantasy.
“That’s one of my favorite trilogies. So I would’ve ruined it for myself. So there’s the silver lining,” he told Us. “Now it can be one of my favorites. I can’t watch myself like that.”
While Renna didn’t get the parts he wanted, he’s still been booked and busy. In addition to being a movie star, he can now add children’s book author to his impressive resume. His book A Little Slugger’s Guide to the Unwritten Rules of Baseballand Life hits shelves on Tuesday, February 25. Renna shared that being a dad was one of the main reasons why he wanted to write the story. (Renna shares sons Flynn and Liam with his wife, Jasmin who is currently pregnant with baby No. 3.)
“I think being a dad and having two young boys made the idea of writing a kid’s book a no-brainer,” he told Us. “I read them every night with my wife and, um, we tell them stories or read them stories.”
What sealed the deal, however, was being able to utilize his baseball expertise. Renna famously played Ham in The Sandlot — a film famously based on a group of little league baseball players — and has since become a baseball icon. When approached with the opportunity, Renna told Us that “there was no question about whether it would have baseball” in the book.
“When you read the book and you see the rules, it sort of writes itself,” he explained of the concept. “Sports and life are so similar and they have such a symbiotic relationship. You start writing it and all the analogies come to life.”
Jill Zarin’s daughter, Ally Shapiro, is setting the record straight regarding her relationship with Love Is Blind alum Leo Braudy.
“So, our relationship starts where most Jewish couples do — when my mom DM’ed him on Instagram. I swear to God it was not for me,” Shapiro, 32, said in a Friday, February 21, TikTok video. “She loved him on the show [and] I’m a huge Love Is Blind fan. Literally told my mom to watch the show for Leo because [I] loved it so much.”
Braudy, 31, appeared on season 7 of the Netflix reality TV dating show, where he walked away single after a failed engagement with Brittany Wisniewski. Within weeks of the show airing in 2024, Braudy was spotted alongside Zarin, 61, and Shapiro at Art Basel Miami. (Braudy works as an art dealer.)
In her Friday video, Shapiro clarified that she was not interested in Braudy “romantically” and asserted that they are just friends.
“I just thought he was a great character and I could relate to him on a lot of levels,” Shapiro said. “[My mom] slid into his DMs and we planned to meet during Basel [in] early December. Right before Basel, Leo called me and I was like, ‘What’s going on?’ Apparently, he’s a big talker. Now that I know him well, [I know] he loves phone calls and voice notes.”
According to the influencer, she “really connected” to Braudy after they started chatting.
“Obviously, at the time, I wasn’t looking for anything serious. I had just gotten out of an engagement and so did he,” Shapiro said. “We were both at Basel and he didn’t really know that many people because he’s newer to the reality scene.”

Throughout their adventure at Basel, Shapiro and Braudy connected over their respective reality TV stints — Zarin famously was an OG star on The Real Housewives of New York City — and the experience of navigating broken engagements.
“[We also connected] on a much deeper level,” Shapiro said. “He had a lot of death and cancer in his family; I lost [my stepdad] Bobby. … We’re both also only children and I feel like when you have a parent with cancer, you have a unique situation. We got very deep, very quickly.”
Per Shapiro, Braudy quickly “became the brother [she] never had” during the Basel weekend.
“I feel like I became his sister,” she stated. “I’ve had to rebuild my whole friend group, and he’s been a really big part of that. I think I’ve been a really good friend for him, as well, navigating this new world that he’s in.”
Shapiro further said that she speaks to Braudy — who later visited with the mother-daughter duo at their family compound in Boca Raton, Florida — on a daily basis.
“So grateful for you in my life,” he wrote via TikTok comment on Friday. “Friends that can relate on so many levels are rare and such a blessing.”
Voletta Wallace, the mother of the late rapper Notorious B.I.G., has died. She was 78.
TMZ was the first to break the news that Wallace passed away on Friday, February 21. Wallace was in hospice care at the time of her death and reportedly died of natural causes.
Wallace took on the role of protecting her son’s career and legacy after his untimely death in 1997 at the age of 24. Though she worked as a preschool teacher before her son was killed, she quickly shifted focus and became the person responsible for shaping conversations about her son for decades.
It was Wallace who accepted the MTV Video Music Award for Biggie’s album Life After Death just six months after he died. Wallace also stood on stage with Afeni Shakur, the mother of rapper Tupac Shakur, two years later — at the time, both women asked for fans to unite in honor of their sons, who were once friends but ultimately became enemies before they were both shot to death in separate incidents.
Wallace also founded the Christopher Wallace Memorial Foundation, through which she worked with other mothers who lost their children at early ages.
She was also part of the team that brought the 2021 film City of Lies to the big screen, which examined the alleged police cover-ups related to Biggie’s death. In an interview for the film, Wallace spoke to Screen Rant about where her son might be if he were still alive.
“I try not to think about it, because sometimes, it could be depressing. I always wonder, if my son was here, what would he be doing?” she told the publication at the time. “I told somebody that maybe he would be in jail by now, but I know he would be a successful human being because he spoke about it and it was something that he believed in.”
“He influenced a lot of young individuals, because I see kids who weren’t even born yet when he died and still they’re saying how much they love my son’s music,” she added. “These are people who weren’t even born yet when he died, so what would happen? What would have happened to him? Oh, Lord, I don’t even want to fathom that thought.”
One of her last public statements was against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs in the wake of his legal issues stemming from numerous allegations of sexual assault, among other crimes. Diddy worked with and performed alongside Biggie before and up to the time of his death. (Combs denies all allegations against him and currently awaiting trial.)
“I hope that I see Sean one day, and the only thing I want to do is slap the daylights out of him. And you can quote me on that,” she told Rolling Stone in May 2024. “Because I liked him. I didn’t want to believe all the awful things, but I’m so ashamed and embarrassed.”
Blake Lively is speaking out against a recent cover for The Hollywood Reporter amid her ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni.
“The Hollywood Reporter should be ashamed of itself,” a spokesperson for the actress told Us Weekly in a statement shared on Saturday, February 22.
“The framing in this picture is outrageously insulting as it plays into every sexist trope about women who dare file a workplace complaint, turning them into the aggressor, and suggesting they deserve the retaliation that comes their way,” the statement continued. “In addition, the story is extremely offensive as it incredibly seems to explain away documented examples of sexual harassment and retaliation by calling them ‘cultural misunderstandings.’”
The publication’s most recent issue included the now controversial cover, depicting Lively, 37, sling-shotting a cell phone at Baldoni, 41, as he ran away from her, clutching a copy of Colleen Hoover’s book It Ends With Us from which their 2024 film was adapted. Baldoni also appears to hold a slingshot.

The cover is meant to depict the biblical story of David and Goliath, in which a young boy overcomes all odds with just a simple slingshot and a rock to defeat a giant.
In the background, Lively’s husband, Ryan Reynolds, is depicted as his Deadpool character ‘Nicepool,’ who is rumored to be a depiction of Baldoni meant to mock the director. Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Fredman, is also depicted in the cover, standing behind Baldoni and opposite Reynolds’ Nicepool with his hands on his hips.
Like Lively, many readers online took issue with the publication’s depiction of the costars’ highly-publicized legal battle.
“The audacity to turn this whole case into a joke is fucking alarming. I stand with Blake Lively because I believe her… I don’t care if people say she’s not a perfect victim or whatever bullshit — it really doesn’t matter,” one person wrote via X. “Predators should be punished.”
“Incredibly inappropriate,” another posted. “You have a responsibility as a publication, but time and time again yours has trivialized sexual harassment and assault, among other horrible things.”
Lively named Baldoni, 41, in a December 2024 lawsuit, claiming that he sexually harassed her and allegedly fostered a “hostile work environment” on the set of It Ends With Us. She amended her complaint earlier this month, also detailing the “emotional impact” of the legal fallout.
“The emotional impact on Ms. Lively has been extreme, not only affecting her, but her family, including her husband and four children,” court docs obtained by Us read. “There are days when she has struggled to get out of bed, and she frequently chooses not to venture outside in public.”
“Our clients have been transparent in providing receipts, real time documents and video showing a completely different story than what has been manipulated and cherry-picked to the media,” Baldoni’s lawyer Freedman said in a statement to Us on Wednesday, February 19. “Our clients have taken this matter and these issues very seriously notwithstanding the jokes made publicly by the plaintiff and her husband.”
The statement continued, “Her underwhelming amended complaint is filled with unsubstantial hearsay of unnamed persons who are clearly no longer willing to come forward or publicly support her claims. Since documents do not lie and people do, the upcoming depositions of those who initially supported Ms. Lively’s false claims and those who are witnesses to her own behavior will be enlightening. What is truly uncomfortable here is Ms. Lively’s lack of actual evidence.”
Baldoni has denied Lively’s allegations, filing a $400 million defamation suit in January that claimed the Gossip Girl alum was “determined to make Baldoni the real-life villain in her story” to mask her reported “tone-deaf” promotion of the film. Lively denied the accusations.
The pair are scheduled to begin trial on March 9, 2026.
“I was in a car with three dogs, two cats, and the housekeeper [evacuating the wildfires], and he called and asked if I was all right and if I had someplace I was staying,” Huston, 73, told The Guardian in a profile published on Friday, February 21.
A string of wildfires broke out in Los Angeles last month, devastating thousands of acres and killing more than 20 individuals. Huston was among thousands of locals who were forced to flee their homes.
“It’s been kind of a scary month. My house almost burned down. It came very, very close,” Huston continued. “My electricity and water and power are still off, but we were safe.”
Huston evacuated with her pets — in addition to her dogs and cats, she owns seven donkeys and six horses — to safety. She said that in the midst of all the chaos, she was grateful that Nicholson, 87, reached out.
“That’s the bottom line with he and I,” she explained to the outlet. “When the chips are down, he’s there.”
The Towards Zero actress and Nicholson dated on and off for 17 years before they called it quits for good in 1990. The pair broke up when Nicholson fathered a child with another woman. (Nicholson has six children.)

While speaking to The Guardian, Huston revealed that she didn’t regret staying faithful to Nicholson for nearly two decades.
“I loved him. I think in the world that I was living in, it wasn’t disrespectful. It was how he was, and it wasn’t so personal. I think as soon as I clocked that, it was all right, I knew how to protect myself,” she said. “It didn’t make me happy, but I knew what I was doing.”
Huston continued, “I did what I wanted to do, and I did it with sureness. If I wanted something, I knew how to go after it, so it wasn’t as though anything was being done to me. I wasn’t a wilting flower.”
Huston went on to marry sculptor Robert Graham in 1992 and remained together until his 2008 death after a heart attack.
“I lost my husband a year before I made this movie,” she previously told Reuters in 2011 of signing onto 50/50, a movie about a cancer patient that also starred Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Seth Rogan and Anna Kendrick. “It came from a deeply personal place. I took everything — all of my experience from the five months I spent with him in [intensive care] to day-to-day occurrences in the hospital — which was kind of ludicrous at the same time as being heartbreaking.”
She concluded at the time, “I don’t think it hurt that I’d had the experience. Although, God, I prefer not to have had the experience, no question about that. I didn’t accept the role because it was cathartic, I accepted it because it really touched me.”

Southern Charm newcomer Molly O’Connell will always remember her late brother, who died at the age of 14.
“His name was Patrick and he was severely intellectually disabled,” O’Connell, 37, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Reality Life with Kate Casey” podcast. “He was quadriplegic [and] he could really only move his head a little bit, couldn’t speak. Once I was born, he was living in a facility that could take care of him because he needed a lot of care around the clock.”
O’Connell, who was adopted when she was an infant, further explained that Patrick “died of sepsis in my dad’s arms.” She was 6 years old at the time of his passing.
“He was sick all his life, in and out of [the] ICU,” O’Connell explained, noting that Patrick’s death inspired her to pursue a career in fashion, including an appearance on cycle 16 of America’s Next Top Model.
“[It gave me] the desire to [make the most of life],” she explained. “A lot of times I get paralyzed by my own fear, like, around music. I probably would have wanted to be a professional musician, singing [and on] Broadway, and I got very scared about that. I have a lot of guilt around not pursuing every single thing that I want to.”
According to O’Connell, her guilt is “subconsciously” based on “not taking advantage of all the things that I am able to do.”
“I really have done a lot and my parents have supported that,” she said. “They never cared if I was smart or good at anything, They just wanted me to be happy and funny. They wanted me to have a good sense of humor, which I think me and Ian — my other brother — do.”
Navigating Patrick’s death further “caused [O’Connell] to do the most” she can in life. O’Connell has also undergone therapy to help deal with his passing.
“I had a lot of death in my family when I was young,” she explained. “My brother died when I was 6 and, within about six months, two of my uncles and a cousin died of cancer. But, I was so young [and] I think they thought, ‘Oh, it doesn’t affect her much.’ I think it did.”
Dealing with the trauma of multiple familial deaths, amongst other challenges, led O’Connell to act out.
“I was told at a very young age that I was adopted before I could really quite comprehend that as a 3- [or] 4-year-old,” she told podcaster Kate Casey. “I was a relatively good child, they say, and then in middle school, I just started acting out a little.”
Regardless of O’Connell’s behavioral issues, her parents have “always stuck by” her and even paid for her therapy sessions.
“They’ve tried to figure out ‘what can we do to help her’ and they’ve continued to do that now [through my] late 30s,” O’Connell said. “They’re always helping me try and find new therapies and stuff.”
Confession time: There’s just something about winter that, without fail, makes me fall into a major fashion rut. The only pants I can seem to tolerate are leggings and sweatpants, especially since I work from home. It takes a really good occasion to motivate me to wear denim (the bar is even higher for getting me to wear a skirt or dress).
On my recent online shopping mission to find comfy pants that feel like sweatpants but are, well, more presentable for the public, I came across lululemon’s high-waisted trousers. Knowing that trousers are one of the sneakiest little fashion hacks, I added the pants to my shopping cart immediately. They feel just like my favorite wide-leg sweatpants yet take my workwear wardrobe to the next level.
Available in a slew of neutral colors, the pull-on trousers are made from the brand’s sweat-wicking, Luxtreme fabric. I was surprised to find the pants don’t have a zipper. The back welt pockets and faux fly seriously fooled me into thinking they were just another pair of boring slacks. Luckily, there are practical front pockets for stashing my lip gloss or keys.
I appreciate the belt loops along the waistband for dressing up the pants if I want, but I’ve found they strike the perfect balance of casual yet chic without a belt. They’re the no-fuss, elevated wardrobe staple I didn’t know I needed.
After a few weeks of dressing the pants up with a blouse and pumps for date night, and dressing them down with a sweatshirt and sneakers for a casual daytime look, I’m impressed with the buttery-smooth trousers. They feel just like my favorite lululemon leggings — except better!
Plus, the interior drawstring helps me achieve the perfect fit for my curvy body type. Most of all, I adore the endless styling possibilities. Whether I’m feeling a business chic look with a blouse or casual daytime attire featuring a cropped hoodie and white sneakers, I never have to sacrifice my comfort just to look fashionable. The roomy, wide legs somehow manage to elongate my frame (I’m 5’5, so this is often a feat) while the high-waist tucks in my midsection.
Out of all the goodies lingering among lululemon’s new arrivals, you can’t go wrong with these high-waisted trousers. I mean, it was a matter of time before the brand blended buttery-smooth activewear with chic workwear! BRB I’m adding the light ivory hue to my cart just in time for spring.

Kelly Stafford has become very used to dealing with social media criticism over the years — even from the friends of her 7-year-old twin daughters.
In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Kelly explained she’s currently at a tipping point when it comes to social media and her girls. Kelly and her husband, Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, share four daughters: twins Sawyer and Chander, 7, Hunter, 6, and Tyler, 4.
“When it comes to social media, I always told myself the minute they know what Instagram is, is the minute I have to figure something out. And my older ones know what it is,” Kelly said. “They have come home and been like, ‘Mom, how do people know we were sick?’”
“In the near future, there is going to be a discussion about whether or not sharing them on social media is going to be happening,” Kelly noted. “At the end of the day, we want them to be able to control what’s out there. They’re getting to an age now where their friends have Instagrams and they’re following me. That is something I really have to consider moving forward.”

Kelly said she and Matthew, who got married in April 2015, have considered giving their daughters “the phones that we had that have cell phone numbers and that’s it.”
“Our generation grew up in the weird time where we started to have [social media],” Kelly added. “But the generation before us, social media was new and their kids have it. But they don’t really know the pros and cons of it. But our generation knows what can happen and the dangers of it.”
“Social media can obviously be used as a tool, right? In the work that I’m doing, unfortunately I need it,” Kelly, who hosts “The Morning After” podcast, told Us. “But I am human. Comments that are mean hurt my feelings. I have feelings and I’m not going to sit here and act like I don’t.”
She added, “I have tried to develop some kind of thick skin to understand what my values are and sticking to those regardless of what people can say about me. The ones that are close to me, I care about their opinions. I just try to remind myself of that.”

Ultimately, Kelly said she can’t help but “fear for my kids with social media.”
“That is a whole different ballgame,” she explained. “I pray that something happens to social media before they get to that point, even though I know it probably won’t.”
Kelly continued, “Honestly, it’s really scary. Even as an adult, my self-confidence is intertwined with people who are commenting that don’t even know me. I can only imagine a teenage girl trying to figure out that and still remaining confident. I worry about my daughters.”

Snoop Dogg and Shante Broadus’ secret to a long, lasting marriage may just be as simple as a three-letter word.
“Keep it fun,” Broadus, 53, exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Choc Factory Cosmetics launch event on Saturday, February 15. “Keep it fun to where, you know, he’s going on the road a lot, so we do have time to miss each other, but just keep it fun and business.”
The couple met as teenagers when they both attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School in California. They went to prom together in 1989 and tied the knot eight years later.
During their marriage, Snoop, 53, and Broadus welcomed three kids together: sons Cordé, 30, and Cordell, 27, and daughter Cori, 25. The Voice coach also has a son named Julian, 26, with Laurie Helmond.
Even after more than 27 years of marriage, Broadus said the pair are still pulling off romantic gestures. Recently, Snoop gifted his wife a brand-new watch while Broadus got some presents from Louis Vuitton just in time for Valentine’s Day.

If there’s one thing Broadus hopes her kids take away from her love story, it’s to persevere during the highs and the lows.
“Just hold each other down,” she told Us at Lucid Studios in Beverly Hills. “That’s what it’s all about. Just stick it out and be there together. You may have ups and downs, but we gotta stick it through. We family, you know?”
Cori has been admiring her parents’ relationship for many years. As she prepares to finalize a wedding and welcome her first baby with fiancé Wayne Deuce, the businesswoman says she’s remembering some key advice from her mom.
“No matter what happens, stick together, have each other’s back,” Cori told Us. “It’s not gonna always be ice cream and cake. There’s gonna be problems. There’s going to be bumps in the road, but as long as you guys can get through it, that’s all that matters.”
Currently, Cori and Deuce are working together to launch their new self-care line named Choc Factory Cosmetics. From lip glosses to lip masks, the items help women of all backgrounds embrace their natural beauty.
“I think this brand, to make it short and sweet, is really just a brand where we make people feel comfortable and feel like they have a space to fit in,” Cori told Us at her launch event featuring ilios lighting. “I feel like with society and their beauty standards, it’s very high and I feel like it’s very unrealistic. We’re giving them a realistic space to be [their] natural self.”
“There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, ‘No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour,” Rihanna, 37, told Harper’s Bazaar in a profile published Saturday, February 22. “After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter.”
She added, “I have to show them the worth in the wait. I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”
Rihanna’s fans have been clamoring for an update on R9 — their nickname for the singer’s next album — for years. According to the pop star, she needed all the pieces of the LP to fall into place before proceeding.
“This feels right. It feels like it digs right into where I need to be, and I want this,” Rihanna stressed. “This body needs to come out, and I’m ready to go there. This is becoming my new freedom because when I’m in the studio, I know that my time away from my kids is to blossom something that hasn’t been watered in eight years.”
Rihanna, who shares sons RZA and Riot with partner ASAP Rocky, further confirmed that she’s “been in the studio the whole eight years” trying to brainstorm the album’s direction.
“It didn’t hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. ‘This kind of album, not that album.’ I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects,” she recalled. “And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!”
“Every decision I make revolves around them, but everything that I do that I love robs me from them,” the Fenty founder told Harper’s Bazaar of her young sons. “I have a weird resentment with the things that I love. You almost feel like something is always suffering for you to show up somewhere. And even when you show up there, it’s not 100 percent because there’s something else on the wheel. It’s actually given me a lot more self-guilt.”
She concluded, “I don’t like letting people down, but I also know that most of that is me letting myself down, which means something has to change, but everything is on the wheel at all times. I have to keep reminding myself that I asked for this, I love this. I try to figure out a balance so that I can feel fulfilled when I show up to something, so I can feel I don’t have any guilt.”
Author Ashley St. Clair is reportedly suing billionaire Elon Musk for sole custody of their alleged child.
St. Claire, best known for her children’s book Elephants Are Not Birds, filed a petition with the New York Supreme Court for custody of the child on Friday, February 21, according to SCOOP, who first reported the filing. In the court filings, reviewed by the publication, the author alleges that Elon Musk is the father of her child — though he “has only met him three times.”
“[Musk] has met him only three (3) times and has no involvement in his care and upbringing,” the petition reportedly states. The petition also claims the boy, who goes by R.S.C., was born in September 2024.
In addition to filing for sole custody, St. Claire also reportedly filed a paternity petition.
In court filings, St. Claire reportedly claims that she and Musk engaged in a “romantic relationship in or about May 2023.” Additionally, she claims they had intercourse and their alleged son was conceived in January 2024.
Musk has allegedly “acknowledged parentage of the child in various written correspondences,” St. Claire claims, according to the reported filing. The author also alleged that she exchanged text messages with Musk about their child after he was born, and that she sent a photograph of the child to Musk.
“I look forward to seeing you and him this weekend,” she claims Musk responded, per the reported docs. According to People, a screenshot of the alleged text message exchange was included in the petition.
St. Claire also claims that Musk acknowledged that the child was his when discussing safety concerns. “If I make a mistake on security, [R.S.C.] will never know his father,” she claims Musk said — something she describes in the court filing as ‘another acknowledgment of parentage.’
“Five months ago, I welcomed a new baby into the world. Elon Musk is the father,” she wrote at the time. “I have not previously disclosed this to protect our child’s privacy and safety, but in recent days it has become clear that tabloid media intends to do so, regardless of the harm it will cause.”
She added, “I intend to allow our child to grow in a normal and safe environment. For that reason, I ask that the media honor our child’s privacy, and refrain from invasive reporting.” Alongside the post, St. Clair wrote “Alea Iacta Est,” which translates to “The die is cast.”
Musk has not publicly acknowledged or responded to St. Claire’s claims. Us Weekly has reached out to Musk for comment.
Days later, on February 15, St. Claire claimed via a representative that her and Musk were working towards an amicable parenting agreement.
“Ashley & Elon have been privately working towards the creation of an agreement about raising their child for some time,” Brian Glicklich, a representative for St. Clair, said in a statement shared via X. “It is disappointing that a tabloid reporter, who repeatedly ambushed Ashley and her family, made it impossible to complete that process confidentially. We are waiting for Elon to publicly acknowledge his parental role with Ashley, to end unwarranted speculation, and Ashley trusts that Elon intends to finish their agreement quickly, in the best interests of the wellbeing and security of the child they share.”
Musk is already a father to 12 other children. Most recently, Bloomberg reported in June 2024 that Neuralink executive Shivon Zilis reportedly welcomed their third baby together.
The pair previously welcomed twins Strider and Azure in November 2021.
Musk also has six children with ex-wife Justine Wilson. Musk and Wilson, 51, who were married between 2000 and 2008, share twins Vivian and Griffin, both 20, and triplets Kai, Saxon and Damian, all 18. The exes also shared son Nevada, who died of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) at 10 weeks old. Musk also shares three children with the singer Grimes.
New details from Britney Spears and her father Jamie Spears’ conservatorship settlement have been revealed.
In court documents recently obtained by People, Britney, 43, reportedly agreed to cover Jamie’s outstanding legal bills totaling $2.12 million. The outlet also claimed that the pop star paid her dad’s fees in full within 60 days, as stipulated in the agreement.
According to the settlement filing, Britney and Jamie, 72, agreed that the payments resolved any lingering disputes regarding the status of the since-terminated conservatorship.
Britney has not publicly addressed the settlement, while Jamie’s attorneys noted in a statement that the patriarch “is thrilled that the case was settled.”
“He has only ever wanted what is best for Britney, whom he loves very much,” his attorney claimed in a statement to People. “Jamie’s work as conservator has ultimately been vindicated and the world knows how hard he worked to protect her.”

Britney was placed under a guardianship run by Jamie in 2008 after a series of personal struggles. For many years, Jamie had control over the singer’s estate and person until Jodi Montgomery took over the role in 2019. The 13-year conservatorship was eventually terminated in November 2021. Britney and Jamie officially settled their dispute in April 2024.
“It has been our honor and privilege to represent, protect, and defend Britney Spears, Ms. Spears is and always will be an icon and a brilliant and brave artist of historic and epic proportion,” Britney’s attorney Mathew Rosengartsaid in a statement to Us Weeklyat the time. “Although the conservatorship was terminated in November 2021, her wish for freedom is now truly complete.”
The statement continued, “Britney Spears won when the court suspended her father, and Britney Spears won when her fundamental rights and civil liberties were restored.”
Britney has since been estranged from Jamie, but recently reconciled with her mom, Lynne Spears. (Exes Jamie and Lynne, 69, share children Bryan, Britney and Jamie Lynn.)
“Britney understands that her mom would have loved for her to visit for Christmas but she just felt like it was too soon,” a source exclusively told Us in December 2023. “Britney is open to repairing her relationship with Lynne but she wants things to unfold organically and not force anything.”
According to the insider, the Crossroads star is “in a really good place” and “would love to continue maintaining her relationship with her mom.”
Britney had claimed in her 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me, that she realized she “never wanted to see” her parents again after learning they disposed of her Madam Alexander doll collection without warning. Lynne has since denied donating the toys, even asking Britney via Instagram if she wants the collection returned. Britney denied the request.
