In Us Weekly‘s exclusive preview of the second half of season 1, Max (Jackson), Avery (Phillipa Soo), Tristan (Sean Teale) and Captain Massey (Don Johnson) are back at it in the high seas.
“This life on the high seas practicing medicine is,” Max says in the clip before Avery interrupts to say “Addictive?” Max, however, has another word on his mind: “Exhilarating.”
Elsewhere in the sneak peek, First Officer Spencer Monroe is seen floating out at sea before he is attacked by a shark. His injury is one of many incidents that take place on The Odyssey — including an attack that puts the entire cruise ship at risk.
“A great white has taken out our electrical systems,” Captain Massey tells Avery as they are about to prepare for a surgery before the lights go out. “We are dead in the water.”
The medical drama, which debuted in September 2024, introduced viewers to Jackson’s character on his journey to becoming the new onboard doctor of the Odyssey. Doctor Odyssey hasn’t been afraid to push boundaries with themed weeks that range from Singles Week to Plastic Surgery Week to Quackers week.

When Doctor Odyssey returns on March 6, fans are in for a treat with a two-part shark-inspired special, which is then followed up with a Casino Week episode that features the first crossover with Ryan Murphy’s 9-1-1.
“Ryan’s imagination is prolific and bizarre in its ability to hold [space] for the absolutely grotesque and absurd — and then there are his lighter and happier shows. All of that being inside of one man’s imagination is amazing,” Jackson, 46, exclusively told Us ahead of the midseason return. “I will say that for myself, I have wanted to work for Ryan for quite a long time.”
“One of the things that I love about his shows is the dialogue and how he keeps things moving. The dialogue is always at a pace where it always crackles. It doesn’t get dragged down,” he noted. “This show in particular is on the lighter side of his imagination. So we very much — by intention, throughout this entire season despite the hours being long and my brain definitely going to mush a couple of times — make sure that we keep on reminding each other to have fun with it.”
While reflecting on the stories that are yet to come, Jackson added, “Ryan’s word was sparkle. He said, ‘Make sure that my show sparkles.’ And we have tried to make sure that this show sparkles as much as possible and just hope that the joy that we feel in performing it and doing it all together is what comes across while you’re watching it.”
Doctor Odyssey returns to ABC Thursday, March 6, at 9 p.m. ET.
Amanda Riley may be out of sight and serving time, but the cancer fraudster is more talked-about than ever. After soliciting over $100,000 to cover costs of cancer she did not have, the perky Christian mom from California, now 39, was convicted in 2021 and has since gained national infamy — first with the hit “Scamanda” podcast and then with the four-part ABC/Hulu docuseries of the same name, which wrapped (and broke streaming records) Thursday, February 20. But many burning questions remain about the case, Amanda’s family, her whereabouts and more.
Here, Us Weekly answers the 10 most burning questions about Scamanda — with some help from Charlie Webster, creator of the podcast and producer who also appeared on the docuseries.
1. Where is Riley now and when will she be released from incarceration?
In September 2022, Riley began what was initially a five-year prison sentence at the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas. She was recently moved to a transitional facility in San Pedro, California, with an expected release date in early December of this year, Webster previously told Us.
2. Has Riley expressed remorse?
Charlie Webster.Hulu
“This is the worst thing I have ever done and the worst mistake I could have made,” she said at her sentencing. “I don’t sleep well at night because this haunts me daily. I can’t even look at myself in the mirror without feeling ashamed, and I am so sorry.”
Webster, meanwhile, has been speaking to Riley off the record since her sentencing. “She has said to me that she is sorry. She regrets everything she’s done. Every single day … Now she’s in a situation where she has lost everything.” The producer adds that she found Amanda to be genuine. “To me, she’s come across very upset at times, but she’s also conscious that she doesn’t want people to think that she’s acting like a victim.”
3. How did she manage to pull off her scam for so long?
Many listeners and viewers were shocked that so many were duped by Riley’s blog posts and staged photos feigning illness — some of the entries seriously stretching credulity. (For example, Riley claimed that doctors allowed her to self-administer clinical trial chemotherapy drugs at home over the holidays.)
“I don’t think these people were gullible or naive. We don’t question people that have cancer and nor should we,” Webster said. “She showed a miracle. She got cancer, but she was surviving. She’d collapse in church, wet herself in church, had an ambulance take her in church. She stood on stage and offered people hope, which all of us in life need sometimes.”
4. Where is her husband, Corey, and did he know about her fraud?

As the final Scamanda episode revealed, Amanda and husband Coreyare now in the process of divorcing, and he recently relocated to Texas. Webster revealed she’s been “contacted by women [Corey] was engaging with, so I think he’s been looking to move on.” As for his connection to his estranged wife’s crimes, Corey, 48, has never been accused or convicted of any crimes. He was, however, by his wife’s side throughout her simulated cancer battles. “[He] said under oath that he went to all of Amanda’s appointments. And they claimed bankruptcy for Amanda’s cancer,” Webster said. “He’s not being convicted, but it’s for all of us to make our own minds up.” Us reached out to Corey for comment.
Somewhat like Corey, Amanda’s mom, Peggy, stood by her daughter throughout her fake medical ordeal, but she was never accused or convicted of any crime. Webster contacted her but “she didn’t want to be involved,” she said. “We don’t have any official proof of her involvement,” said Webster, who points out that Peggy “went on a cruise” following Amanda’s sentencing. “I do know that Peggy is supporting her daughter through this,” she added, noting that Peggy is helping with childcare for Corey and Amanda’s sons, Carter and Connor.
6. Does Amanda have Munchausen syndrome or another mental illness?
“A lot of people have questioned me on why I didn’t mention Munchausen or mental health in the podcast; it’s mentioned briefly in the documentary,” Webster said. “The reason why I didn’t mention it and why I have been quite persistent on not going down that route is because, one, I feel like it minimizes victims’ experiences, and two, she’s not been diagnosed with anything.”
7. What happened to Jessa, Amanda’s stepdaughter?
On an emotional level, one of Amanda’s hardest-hit victims was arguably Jessa, Corey’s now-grown daughter from his first marriage to Aletta Souza. Jessa first met Amanda as a kind of babysitter and cheerleading coach when her parents were still married (and while Jessa’s elder sister suffered from her own very real battle with cancer). She was then the subject of a bitter custody battle between Corey and Souza, and she eventually had a painful falling out with her stepmother amidst her feigned illness. While Jessa participated in the podcast, she opted out of appearing in the docuseries to “care for her mental health,” Webster said. “The trauma that she suffered has been very difficult … To find out her whole upbringing was a lie? That’s devastating.”
Jessa is now married and “doing really well,” Webster said. “It’s definitely been a process of recovery.”
Amanda started sharing her faux cancer journey (and fundraising for herself) via personal blog around 2012 — long before TikTok and AI dominated digital and popular culture. “It was the prime moment for her because of the blog phenomenon,” Webster said. “When everybody was writing a blog — mommy blogs, fitness blogs — she really tapped into that, and longer, in-depth content was huge. And Amanda? Whatever she’s done, she is a good storyteller.” In the current era, Webster mused, “I think maybe she’d have been able to do it even more so with TikTok. We’ve seen people scam through TikTok all the time.”
9. What will she do when she’s released?
“I think it’s going to be very, very hard for her,” Webster told Us. “Do we believe in second chances? Do we believe in redemption? Do we believe that people can learn their lessons and change? It’s a case of trying to rebuild her life. Maybe not rebuild, actually — try and build a new life. I don’t think she can rebuild.”
Alix Earle’s “Hot Mess” podcast has been dropped by Alex Cooper’s Unwell Network, Us Weekly can confirm.
Variety broke the news on Tuesday, February 25, that SiriusXM will no longer sell ads for “Hot Mess” and that the Unwell Network has renounced rights to the podcast.
The news comes amid social media speculation of a falling out between Earle, 24, and Cooper, 30 — and sources tell Us that there is some truth to the rumors.
Most recently, Earle, who rose to stardom on TikTok while a student at the University of Miami, was noticeably absent from Unwell Network’s Super Bowl party earlier this month despite being in New Orleans.
Earle and Cooper have yet to address an alleged feud. Us reached out to reps for Earle, Cooper and the Unwell Network.
Cooper launched her Unwell Network in August 2023, initially signing Earle and “Pretty Lonesome” host Madeline Argy in an effort to appeal to Gen Z audiences with “unique voices that embrace social challenges and personal insecurities through honest conversation.” (Cooper has since brought on other names, including “Boyfriend Material” host Harry Jowsey and Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia’s ex-BFF Grace O’Malley to host the “Disgraceful” podcast.)
“We live in a world where we are inundated with content, but The Unwell Network will be the source everyone can go to for unique perspectives exploring what’s top-of-mind today for this generation,” Cooper said in a statement at the time, per Variety.
When announcing Unwell Network, Cooper gushed that Earle and Argy “both have a unique presence that captivates an audience, but I love how they approach content in very different ways… I feel honored to be at a place in my career where I can pass along knowledge and advice for a new generation of creators to flourish.”
The Unwell Network is a subsidiary of Tending, the media company Cooper founded with her now-husband, Matt Kaplan, in 2023. Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast is also produced under the Unwell Network. (After meeting on a Zoom call in 2020, Cooper and Kaplan got engaged in March 2023 and tied the knot the following year.)
Two months after the launch of Unwell Network, Cooper gushed over Earle in an interview with TIME. “She is a beast,” Cooper said at the TIME 100 event in October 2023, per TikTok. “I think people think that she makes it look easy. That girl has a work ethic that I’ve never seen and I’m just so proud of her. I love any help that I can give her. Bow down to her, she’s amazing.”
Former American Idol star Emmy Russell has revealed her anger over being asked to sing one of her grandmother Loretta Lynn‘s country music hits on the ABC show.
“When I saw the song choice, there was immense sadness whenever I saw it because [Lynn] just passed away very recently,'” Russell, 25, recalled in a 2024 interview with “The Thrivalist Podcast with Jamie George” that recently resurfaced.
The former Idol contestant looked back on the “Judges’ Song Contest” episode in April 2024, when Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan each pitched a song for the hopefuls to perform. Russell had to pick between her grandmother’s 1970 classic “Coal Miner’s Daughter,” “Here You Come Again” by Dolly Parton or “Suddenly I See” by KT Tunstall.
In her recent podcast interview, Russell admitted she was “so mad” at the judges for encouraging her to sing her grandmother’s signature song.
“So on American Idol, I did my grandma’s song. Well, they actually let the judges pick three songs. And the only one I knew was ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter,'” she remembered. “I’m already facing so much, trying to act in courage, and I just remember seeing that and I was so mad. I was like, ‘Ugh.’”
At the time, Russell felt as if singing “Coal Miner’s Daughter” would “add to” complaints from some viewers that she’d only made it through to the Idol live shows because of nepotism.
“It was weird because I still felt that small voice say, ‘I need you to stay, and I need you to show up,’” she remembered. “And I got on the piano and I played ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ for the vocal coaches… and it was just how I wanted to play it.”
The singer-songwriter eventually embraced the responsibility of covering “Coal Miner’s Daughter” soon after Lynn died in October 2022.
“I mean, it’s my grandma’s song,” she recalled. “[You] can’t get much closer to the heart than your own blood. I know ‘Coal Miner’s Daughter’ like the back of my hand and so I think I want to do it more of, like, an ode, almost like a way of hugging her. I’m literally just a granddaughter singing this song to her grandma. I need to be proud that I am a granddaughter of Loretta Lynn.”
She cited an unlikely inspiration for pushing through her anxiousness, after finding a commonality with Jennifer Lawrence‘s heroic character Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games.
“I looked up [Katniss’s home in] District 12, and District 12 is coal miners,” she revealed, to gasps from the podcast hosts.
Russell earned rave reviews on social media for her stripped-down cover of “Coal Miner’s Daughter” on the April 29, 2024 episode and ultimately made it to Idol‘s Top 5 before being eliminated one week before the finals. Abi Carter won Idol season 22 on May 19, 2024.
Idol has lined up another celebrity relative for its upcoming 23rd season, as Backstreet Boys star Brian Littrell‘s son Baylee Littrellhas confirmed he had auditioned for judges Bryan, Richie and Carrie Underwood. Baylee has already released an E.P. of his original music, in addition to performing on Broadway at just 13 years old in the 2016 production of Disaster!.
Elsewhere, Idol is undergoing a shakeup at the judges’ table for season 23, following Perry’s recent departure. Country music legend Underwood is joining Bryan and Richie, after winning American Idol’s fourth season in 2015
American Idol season 23 premieres on Sunday, March 9 at 8p.m. ET on ABC.
Salley Carson might talk about her ex-fiancé on Southern Charm — but she’s no longer communicating with him.
“We do not have any [communication],” Salley, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, February 24, while promoting the Bravo series. “He’s blocked.”
Salley went on to reveal that her ex-fiancé, Avery Bucholz, “definitely reached out when he found out I was on the show.”
She recalled Avery being “worried that my whole story line was going to be about him” after joining Southern Charm for season 10, which premiered in December 2024.

Salley noted that her story on the series does “not” revolve around her former fiancé, declaring, “You’re out of my life. You can stay out of it.”
From the moment Salley made her reality TV debut on season 26 of The Bachelor, her ex-fiancé has been a topic of conversation.
Salley was engaged to Avery shortly before leaving to film the ABC series in September 2021. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that in August 2021, Salley was at her bachelorette party in Mexico. The following month, they were broken up and she arrived at the Bachelor Mansion in Los Angeles to try and win Clayton Echard’s heart.
During the January 2022 premiere, Salley met Clayton, 31, before the official limo entrances. She revealed that she called off the engagement due to “lack of trust” and confessed that she wasn’t sure she was ready for The Bachelor. (She filmed the meeting one day before she was supposed to marry Avery.)
Salley decided to leave before the rest of the women arrived, eliminating herself from The Bachelor. She gave the franchise another shot in October 2022 during a short-lived stint on season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise.
During her time on BiP, Genevieve Parisi questioned Salley for seeing her ex-fiancé prior to showing up in Mexico. Salley explained at the time that she worked with Avery and wanted to have a “conversation with him out of respect” before she left for the show.

Salley made her Bravo debut during season 2 of Southern Hospitality, which aired in 2024. She appeared on two episodes of the Southern Charm spinoff before moving over to the flagship series for season 10.
During the January 30 episode of Southern Charm, Salley revealed that she was planning to get her breast implants taken out. She said that she got a boob job “when I was with my ex-fiancé” partly because she “thought that was what he liked.”
“It’s not like my ex-fiancé told me, ‘Your boobs aren’t good enough.’ Or anything like that. He never did,” Salley told the cameras. “But the girls he was giving attention to had bigger breasts and didn’t look like I looked.”
She confessed that the situation “somewhat made me insecure” at the time, and after regaining her confidence she wanted them out.
“I am happy that I opened up about it, and I think it’s good for other women to hear that,” Salley told Us of the vulnerable moment. “I think that there’s a lot of women out there that struggle with insecurities and maybe boyfriends or fiancés or husbands that make them feel insecure.”
Salley said she spoke her “truth” during that episode and has since successfully had her breast implants removed.
“I feel better for it,” she said, noting, “I just was very much not myself when I got them in the first place.”
She recalled making the decision to get the removal after getting back on her feet following her broken engagement. “One day after I kind of found my independence again and my career was going great, and I just bought a house in Charleston, and I just was like, ‘These are not me anymore,’” Salley continued. “I just felt confident in my own body and just wanted to take him out.”
Now that she’s happier with her body and overall life, Salley told Usshe is done with her ex-fiancé — and doesn’t plan on ever looking in the rearview
“There’s just not a world that I would film a reality TV show with my ex-fiancé,” she said with a laugh. “Literally never. I would definitely remove myself from that situation.”
Southern Charm airs on Bravo Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.
Drescher, 67, opened up about the singer channeling her character, Fran Fine, during a December 2024 appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, while chatting with Netflix at the 2025 SAG Awards on Sunday, February 23.
When asked if she had seen the photos of Carpenter, 25, rocking a Susan by Night for Lilie Robin mini dress adorned with leopard print lapels, Drescher gushed, “Of course I’m aware of it!” She continued, “I’m very honored and flattered,” noting she was a fan of Carpenter’s. “I think it’s great for the brand. It says a lot about her. I think she’s totally cool.” Drescher added: “She’s very retro in many ways, and the fact that she’s picked up on The Nanny, and The Nanny’s style is kudos to her. I’m extremely flattered.”
When Carpenter rocked the Fran-inspired getup, she glammed it up with Calzedonia sheer black tights, a Thom Browne case bag and platform black heels.
Carpenter again channeled Drescher at the 2025 Grammys, when she talked about her career in a video before performing. In the clip, she wore a sparkling blue-and-white striped 1997 Hervé Léger gown, which Fran wore on season 3 of the show.
After Carpenter heard Drescher praising her Nanny-inspired looks, she shared the clip via her Instagram Story on Tuesday, February 25. “I adore you,” she captioned the post, tagging Drescher’s account. “.”
The Nanny ran for six strong seasons from 1993 to 1999.

Boy Meets World alum Maitland Ward opened up about her recent reunion with former costar Danielle Fishel, which resulted in a tense exchange on the latter’s podcast. Ward told TooFab that she was “surprised by the whole situation,” adding, “It just felt uneasy to have people that you called friends — especially in the past, I thought Danielle was my friend — I can see that she did not like me, and she has harbored not liking me through the years, but it’s sad to me too.” Ward, 48, appeared on “Pod Meets World” earlier this week, and the conversation took a turn after she claimed Fishel unfriended her on Facebook. Fishel, 43, denied the social media maneuver as the twosome proceeded to hash out their past feud. In her new interview, Ward compared Fishel to the iconic Mean Girls character Regina George, confessing that she “wasn’t expecting such a jarring shift” in their discussion.

It’s been two weeks, and we’re still processing just how iconic the deluxe version of Sabrina Carpenter’s Grammy-winning Short n’ Sweet album is. Although she’s a “Busy Woman,” Carpenter pays attention to the little things. So much of her pop stardom is thanks to the intentionality of her persona and all the details it entails: the pinup-inspired outfits, the bouncy hair, the clever lyrics, the slapstick comedy and the makeup. Especially the makeup.
There’s been plenty of online discourse surrounding the defining aspect of the singer’s full beat. Some argue it’s the color — and quantity — of her blush. Others say it’s her natural-looking, sun-kissed glow. Or, perhaps, it’s her pouty, overlined lips. I like this last theory.
Unlike her bestie Taylor Swift, Carpenter doesn’t have a signature lip color, so she always keeps us guessing. Unless, of course, she outright shows or tells us the brand and shade, which is the case with the Prada Moisturizing Lip Balm featured in her now-legendary “Please, Please, Please” music video.
In the campy scene during which she’s bailed out of jail, Carpenter glides on the Prada Lip Balm in Astral Pink. Much like the music video itself, the balm went completely viral, selling out multiple times. Thankfully, it’s back!
Don’t be put off by its blue hue upon first glance. The color-changing product adapts to the pH of your lips to elicit a rosy pink hue that enhances your natural lip color and accentuates your skin tone. Even better, it’s infused with jojoba oil to keeps lips hydrated for up to 24 hours and delivers a buttery-smooth application.
The starlet’s endorsement is enough to sell us, and thousands of shoppers also praise the lip balm. “The color feels so special and unique to me,” one Sephora shopper shares. “Mine comes out as a really sheer light pink. The applicator is very sturdy. It’s my go-to makeup I rarely wear anything but when I do, I want to make sure I am wearing only the best.”
In the words of the “Espresso” singer herself: Is it that sweet? I guess so! Hurry and add the moisturizing lip balm to your cart before it sells out (again).
Jennifer Lopez is a multi-talented icon, but while her business acumen and impressive performances continue to earn her recognition and praise, it’s her bold fashion choices that often steal the show. The star is often seen in everything from curve-accentuating cutouts to barely-there bikinis, but one piece of clothing has become part of her signature look: A turtleneck.
J.Lo routinely wears the closet staple, whether it’s bedazzled in crystals for a red carpet or paired with jeans for a casual outing. They’ve even made appearances in some of her best looks of all time. The good news is, this timeless essential is versatile and affordable, and is known to add warmth on winter’s coldest days. It’s a smart choice for any fashionista, whether they’re heading out to dinner or off to Aspen like Lopez herself.

“The first thing I remember of Craig was he was loading our little mini fridge with non-alcoholic beer. And I was like, ‘Awesome, man. It’s great to see you again,’” Carl, 40, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, February 24, while promoting season 9 of the hit Bravo series. “He’s like, ‘Yeah, I haven’t been drinking.’ I’m like, ‘Great.’ And in my head, I’m thinking, ‘I have another buddy now. I have another friend I can enjoy non-A beer with.’”
Carl, who has been sober since 2021, confessed that he “didn’t pick up on a ton of stuff” between Craig, 36, and Paige, 32, while filming the show.
However, Carl did notice the “energy” between the now-exes. “You could tell that they were both faced with tough questions about the relationship,” he said.

“I think Paige and Craig were kind of in this, like, ‘OK, been together three years. What are we really doing?’” Carl recalled. “I think it revealed itself, and honestly, I give them a lot of credit for trying their best to work through it. But breaking up in the public eye is never easy.”
Paige and Craig began dating in 2021 after getting close on Winter House. Their relationship played out for three years in front of the cameras as Craig made cameos on Summer House and Paige returned the favor on his series Southern Charm.
Paige announced in December 2024 that she broke up with Craig over Thanksgiving weekend. Prior to their split, they filmed scenes for Summer House season 9 and Southern Charm season 10, both of which are currently airing on Bravo.
Looking back on their last summer as a couple, Carl said Paige had to deal with a lot from her castmates and Craig didn’t make it easier.
“I know enough to know Paige did a lot to support Craig and vice versa,” Carl told Us on Monday, noting, “Paige really has helped him become a better version of himself and become a better man.”
Carl claimed that Paige “certainly protected him in a lot of ways,” which will come out this season.
“There has been a lot of drama between the group and because of Craig’s things that Paige protected,” Carl alleged. “But that caused friction for all of us.”
Carl RadkeUs Weekly
He explained that viewers see that come to light with Kyle Cooke’s “rage text” that was teased ahead of the new Summer House episode on Wednesday, February 26.
“Paige has been kind of in the middle of some things because of Craig or Hannah [Berner] or whoever else,” Carl said.
A preview of Wednesday’s episode showed Paige and Kyle, 42, getting into a fight over a text Kyle sent seemingly about Craig. However, part of the text has since been leaked and appears to be mostly about Summer House alum Hannah, who is Paige’s “Giggly Squad” podcast cohost.
In the text, Kyle allegedly wrote, “Honestly, beyond discouraged. With Craig, too. This wouldn’t be a topic today if it wasn’t for him and about a dozen lies.” (The alleged text was shared via Reality Blurb on Monday.)
The part about Craig appears to be regarding Kyle and Craig’s feud over alcohol brand investments. In spring 2024, Craig announced that he invested in Spritz Society which is a rival company of Kyle’s Loverboy brand. Kyle publicly slammed Craig over his choice but Kyle claimed to Us in October 2024 that the reality stars are “good” now.
The second part of the text allegedly talked about Hannah, who Kyle previously feuded with when she was part of their Hamptons crew. At the time, Kyle slammed Paige for allegedly taking Hannah’s side.
The Summer House preview, however, hinted that Craig and Kyle’s drama will be what derails Paige’s friendship with Kyle — at least briefly.
“I think they’ve been cool as far as I know, but this whole text thing from the episode I think just has popped back up,” Carl told Us of Kyle and Paige’s current friendship status. “I’m hoping they’re cool and can work through it because of everything that’s happened over the last six months with Paige and him and Craig.”
Outside of Kyle getting into hot water with Paige over Craig, the exes have been publicly trading jabs in recent months. Carl, who had his own public split from costar Lindsay Hubbard in August 2023, revealed that he thinks Craig could’ve handled things better.
“I think in that scenario of him and Paige, the way she kind of announced it, it seemed like that was a kind of clean, obviously difficult situation,” Carl said, referring to Paige’s “Giggly Squad” announcement. “I feel like Craig got an opportunity to be a little more respectful at the beginning towards the situation. And it didn’t end up happening that way.”
Paige then alleged that she caught Craig “texting two bitches” during their relationship, which he claimed wasn’t true.
Carl, meanwhile, teased that while he wasn’t there when the Summer House cameras picked up earlier this year — to document Paige and Craig’s split — he “heard about it.”
“I heard it was actually at Lindsay’s apartment or my old apartment. I’m glad that Paige has the girls,” Carl explained to Us. “It’s nice to see everybody rally around Paige. I’ve certainly rallied around her. I care about her. I want her to feel the love and support. It’s a tough situation. I equally feel bad for Craig and her.”

Alex, 33, recently took to TikTok to show off her before-and-after starring on season 7 of the reality show. The first photo in the slideshow, was her LiB cast pic. For the photo shoot, she wore a strapless yellow dress featuring a sweetheart neckline, long sleeves and knee-high slits. Her hair, which cascaded to her chest, was softly curled and she donned soft makeup. “‘Remember how you looked on that show last year?’” She captioned the pic.
Next, she shared her sexy Valentine’s Day outfit from earlier this month. Her fit featured a plunging cropped blazer with denim lapels and coordinating pants. Alex teamed the look with flirty lashes. Her bob was parted to the side and styled in a bombshell blowout. “Lockjaw ,” she wrote over the snap.
“Since nobody recognizes me,” Alex captioned the post. Fans praised the Netflix star in the comments section.
“You were always fine tho let’s not get it twisted!” one follower wrote, praising her before and after pics. Alex replied, “Period.” A second fan echoed, “And you looked absolutely beautiful both before & after,” while more asked for her “workout routine.”
Alex’s transformation comes after calling off her engagement with costar Tim Godbee — and the drama that followed.
In October 2024, Tim, 33, claimed their relationship was “toxic” via social media, and wrote that Alex never put “serious effort” into their love life.
Days later, Alex later responded to his comments while chatting with Vulture. “It’s been unfortunate to see a lot of things Tim has been posting over the last 24 hours, but it wasn’t a mutual decision,” She added, “That was his own decision. Tim was very, very strategic on what he talked about in front of the camera, and I allowed that because if he doesn’t want to share something, he doesn’t have to.”
Fans saw the couple break up during the season after Alex met Tim’s family and took a nap, which he felt was disrespectful. Shortly after, he called off their engagement.
Alex is the second LiB season 7 star to address a body transformation. Costar Hannah Jiles previously made headlines while the show was airing last year for her new look.
“It’s a very interesting thing because when the show first came out it was, ‘She’s a whale, she’s so fat, she’s disgusting. How dare her talk to Nick [Dorka] like that when she’s fat?’” Hannah, 27, explained during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly at the time. “[After] they saw that I posted TikTok [from recently], they’re like, ‘Oh wait, she’s lost weight.’ And then it went to, ‘Oh, well Ozempic, Ozempic, Ozempic, Ozempic, Ozempic.’ And, ‘OK, you fixed your weight, now fix your personality.’ You just can’t make them happy.”

Fishel and Ward met while filming Boy Meets World season 6 in 1998. Fishel had been on the series since its inaugural season in 1993, and Ward joined the cast five years later. The women worked together until the series wrapped up in 2000.
Years after Boy Meets World came to an end, Fishel would go on to return to the spinoff series Girl Meets World and later transitioned to working behind the scenes in TV. Ward, for her part, joined the adult entertainment industry.
In those years since the show had wrapped, Ward and Fischel sparked a feud. It seemingly began over Ward claiming that she reached out to Fishel via Facebook to congratulate her on her engagement to her first-husband Tim Belusko in 2012. However, Fishell claimed that she did not see the message until years later. (Fishel is now married to husband Jensen Karp.)
The pair reunited on a February 2025 episode of “Pod Meets World,” which Fishel hosts alongside fellow costars Will Friedle and Rider Strong, and Fishel and Ward got into a heated exchange over their issues.
Keep scrolling for a break down on Fishel and Ward’s feud:
On the ABC show, Fishel and Ward played Topanga and Rachel, respectively. They worked together for two seasons until the series wrapped up in 2000.
‘Girl Meets World’ Drama
At one point when the spinoff was airing from 2014 to 2017, Ward visited the set for a taping but did not make a guest appearance on camera. Ward claimed that Fishel was cold toward her.
“I was shocked that she didn’t even … she said ‘Hello,’ that’s it. It’s just a weird kind of thing, and I wish that we could be friends and I don’t know the full reasons behind it,” Ward exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2022. “I had heard maybe she didn’t like the whole old costars on the show, the girls to come back on there or something, but I don’t know why she didn’t or doesn’t like me … we didn’t, like, have a blowout. I was expecting bear hugs like I got from the guys [Ben Savage and Rider Strong], and [with Danielle] it was like, ‘Oh … hi.’”
Three years later, Ward and Fishel rehashed the interaction and offered some clarity about why she wasn’t very friendly while working.
“It was a very, very difficult set. Let’s put it this way: The memories we have of the fun set of Boy Meets World were not the memories [from the] set of Girl Meets World,” Fishel said in February 2025. “It just wasn’t. And I went into it hoping it was going to be. I went into it expecting it to be. And it wasn’t. It was a rather tumultuous place. It was a place I felt very ostracized. I felt very criticized. I felt a lot of different things being on that set.”
Fishel apologized to Ward for thinking she had “something personally against” her.
Maitland Ward’s Memoir Claims
In Ward’s book, My Escape from Hollywood: Unapologetic, Unfiltered and Unashamed, she opened up about her ups and downs with Fishel while on set.
“She definitely didn’t seem to hate me,” she wrote in the 2022 memoir. “In fact, we connected over things you wouldn’t expect, like our love of Chihuahuas and pet rats. Still, no matter how well we got along, there would always be a part of me that distrusted her and her motives toward me, and it all stemmed from [creator] Michael [Jacob’s] first warnings.”
The Facebook Debate
During Ward’s February 2025 appearance on “Pod Meets World,” the actress claimed that Fishel ignored her Facebook message from 2012 and unfriended her. Fishel denied that she ignored it and stated that she does not frequent the platform.
“I am not a Facebook person,” Fishel said. “I then went into my Facebook page, saw that we were not friends. Didn’t remember when we were friends on Facebook or when we were no longer friends on Facebook. I found your message in the graveyard of messages, and I then felt very bad.”
Fishel explained that she wanted to reach out to Ward to apologize so asked Friedle for her number. However, she was told to save their conversation for Ward’s eventual appearance on the podcast.

Fishel and Ward’s drama reignited during a heated exchange on a February 2025 episode. While the chat started off nice, things took a turn which prompted Fishel to ask Ward if she “hated” them. Ward replied, “No,” but decided to air out her grievances.
“There was some beef between us and I didn’t get it. And maybe I picked up the wrong signals, but definitely there was some sort of weirdness there,” Ward said, adding that she “did not know” what could have gone wrong with the twosome’s friendship. “I didn’t know if you thought that I was trying to come onto the set and take over. Not take over, but try to steal attention or something. But I didn’t know.”
Fishel responded, “I was on the cover of Maxim in 2014.”
Ward then went on to claim that Fishel, Friedle and Strong had problems with the show creator and star Ben Savage (who is famously no longer on speaking terms with his costars) because of comments they made on the podcast. The trio denied the sentiments. She also accused the hosts of “grilling” her in the interview.
“Let’s be honest about this, you’re trying to go at me now because of the ratings and because people will be interested,” she claimed. Fishel replied, “No Maitland, I’m not the one who wanted to go for ratings.”
Despite the tense conversation, it did end in a calm manner.
“It was nice to reminisce,” Fishel said. “Share some good times, share some not-so-good times.”
“I’m just surprised by the whole situation, and I’ve had a little time to reflect on it since I did the show a week and a half ago,” Ward told TooFab in an interview one day after the show dropped. “It just felt uneasy to have people that you called friends — especially in the past, I thought Danielle was my friend — I can see that she did not like me, and she has harbored not liking me through the years, but it’s sad to me too.”
Ward clarified that she did not go onto the show to “create controversy” noting that the first part of the interview was “very friendly.”
“I thought, like, any problems we had, we would talk in a conversational way, so I wasn’t expecting such a jarring shift,” Ward claimed. “It was like, all of a sudden she was Topanga and then she switched into [Mean Girls’] Regina George.”
Ready to look “absolutely fire?” TikTok’s favorite couple, Campbell and Jett Puckett, are letting Us in on Pookie’s secret! And no it doesn’t consist of one of their typical designer shopping trips, it includes these affordable beauty finds at Target that “feel luxurious, even though they are affordable.”
I sat down with the couple to chat about their partnership with MCBeauty that just recently launched at Target. Campell said that Target is the “perfect place for MCoBeauty” since “everyone loves to go to Target and grab what they need.” Our weekly Target run schedule couldn’t agree more and neither can our wallets — everything from the brand is super affordable — all under $15.
Jett also chimed in and said that he thinks it’s “really awesome that MCoBeauty is delivering a very high-end feeling product but at a reasonable price point at a very accessible place like Target.”
With these beauty finds, you can get Campbell’s glowy, “natural makeup look” without overspending at higher-priced retailers. To get her makeup look that Jett calls “sexy but classy,” start with the brand’s Super Glow Bronzing Drops, which Campell says provide a “natural-looking tan.” The drops are an affordable alternative to a higher-priced version that went totally viral on TikTok thanks to another big name influencer, Alix Earle.
Another “favorite” product, per Pookie, and a “critical component” for a makeup routine, per Jett, is their XtendLash Mascara. She uses it in the black and brown shade and says it “looks really natural” and loves “how the tubing mascara works.”
“I will never go back to regular mascara after using tubing mascara,” Campbell said. “It just comes off so easily at night.”
Then to finish the Campbell’s look, top it off with the “lip liner and a gloss” pair that is a must-have in her bag “at all times.” Jett vouched for that saying “definitely always has both no matter what, even if we’re on a ski mountain.”
“Even if she has to put the lip liner and gloss in my boot if she doesn’t have any pockets . . . she’s always going to have those two products,” Jett said.
Start with the Perfect Pout Lip Liner, which Campell says “elevates the lip look.” Then finish with the item that both Campell and Jett agree is absolutely “iconic,” the Lip Lights Shine Gloss, which has “a mirror and a light” and is “very Pookie” — per Jett.
This high shine lip gloss is where beauty meets function. It’s a wonder to us that it’s just $9 considering the fact that it not only is a high-shine lip gloss, but it also has a mirror on the side to accurately apply and an LED light so you can see in the dark.
Most lengthening mascara’s cost an arm and a leg, but you can get this one for just $14. It contains contains polymers and waxes that extend the look of lashes with a formula that doesn’t smudge, run or clump.
Get the luxurious lip look of your favorite influencers while saving some extra cash with this liner that’s much less. Like pricer versions, it has a smooth, velvet color and currently comes in three popular shades that are bound to flatter.
If you’re like Campbell and love “a lot of blush,” you’re going to want to give this powder version a try. It’s an economical equivalent to a designer pick that’ll still give you the same stunning flushed cheeks.
“Jesus was more than my friend — he was a light in my life, a source of laughter, comfort, love, and unwavering support. I don’t know how I would have made it through the last almost decade without him by my side. He had a way of making even the heaviest days feel lighter,” Jenner, 27, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, February 25.
She continued, “Thank you, Jesus, for always being there for me, for lifting me up, for being my friend. The pain of losing you is just unbearable and i don’t know how to move forward without you but I know great grief is born only of great love. and I loved you so much. You were the best person, with a talent that was unmatched. a true artist. You inspired so many, and you always will.”
Alongside her post, Jenner shared a photo of the twosome smiling. “Your words, your laughter, your kindness, your beautiful spirit will live in my heart forever. I’ll cherish all our moments together. every laugh and hug. I wish I could hug you again,” she concluded. “I laid in your bed the way you used to lay in mine, talking for hours. I would give anything for one more deep talk. I’m going to miss you so much. more than any words can say. 222 my angel.”
News broke on Saturday, February 22, that Guerrero had died, with confirmation coming via a GoFundMe page set up by his sister Gris. His cause of death was not shared via the page.
Days after his death, People reported that the Kardashians star will be paying for Guerrero’s funeral expenses. “As upset as she feels, she knows it’s so much worse for his family,” a source told the outlet. “She doesn’t want them to stress about money. She’s taking care of expenses, including those associated with his funeral.”

Another insider told Us Weekly that “Kylie is completely heartbroken,” explaining: “Jesus was her No. 1 hairstylist, and they were best friends.”
Guerrero worked as a stylist for A-listers including Jenner, Jennifer Lopez and Katy Perry. One day before Jenner’s post, sister Kim Kardashianmourned Guerrero’s loss in her own social media upload.
“Our glam fam means the world to us. We work together, vacation and celebrate our lives together!” Kardashian, 44, wrote via her Instagram Story on Monday, February 24. “Our great respect for the art of hair and [makeup] has led us to meeting some of the kindest souls and make some of our bestest friends. So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed.”
Kardashian continued, “My heart breaks for Kylie and everyone who loved Jesus the way we all did. I’m praying for his family, his loved ones and the whole beauty community who feels this deep loss of one of the most talented and kindest to ever do it!”
Khloé Kardashian later reposted the tribute and added, “I couldn’t find the words this weekend, but this is exactly how we all feel. We become a family with our glam teams, and we share so much of our lives with them.”

While it’s too soon to tell if Chris Pratt’s 3-month-old son, Ford, inherited his acting chops, there is one physical trait his famous father passed down to him.
“He didn’t get my eyes but he got my long butt crack,” Pratt, 45, joked on the Monday, February 24, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “That’s a genetic thing and I’ll tell you, most of it goes up. I don’t know why.”
Pratt noted that the trait is something his father, Daniel, also had “plumbers butt,” and that he and his brother, Curly, would prank their dad by putting sawdust and nails down his pants without him noticing.
“[My dad] must have routinely had sawdust and 16 penny nails in his underwear, ‘cause I feel like that’s the kind of thing you go, ‘Hey! What the hell?’” he shared. “But no, not him.” (Pratt’s father died in 2014 from multiple sclerosis.)
Pratt welcomed Ford with his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, in November 2024. “We are overjoyed to announce the birth of our son, Ford Fitzgerald Schwarzenegger Pratt,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram statement. “Mama and baby are doing well and Ford’s siblings are thrilled by his arrival. We feel so blessed and grateful. Love, Katherine and Chris.”
Pratt became a first-time father with the birth of his son, Jack, in 2012 with his ex-wife, Anna Faris. He went on to wed Schwarzenegger, 35, in 2019, and the two have since welcomed daughters Lila, 4, and Eloise, 2.

The actor shared a hilarious photo of his baby boy via Instagram last month. “S— happens,” he captioned a photo of Schwarzenegger, 35, holding Ford, who had a diaper blowout.
Pratt gushed about his family’s latest addition on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. “He’s a really, really chill baby. He’s sleeping. I sleep through the whole night, but Mama’s breastfeeding, so she’s up every couple of hours,” he told host Jimmy Kimmel. “But he is really chilled. He’s not colicky or anything, he’s not super loud. He’s got this look on his face at all times that I just call ‘resting bewilderment face.’”
When it comes to his parenting techniques, Pratt said he tries not to copy the “tough” and “old school” way his father raised him. “I’m trying to do something different,” he said before noting, “But the result is they do not fear me at all. … I get no respect.”

Pratt and Schwarzenegger took a night off from parenting duties to attend the Los Angeles premiere of Pratt’s new Netflix film, The Electric State, on Monday. The Marvel star sported some color on the black carpet, rocking a lilac-colored suit and matching shirt. He completed his monochromatic look with a pair of white dress shoes.
Schwarzenegger, meanwhile, got all glammed-up to support her husband at the event. Her white pumps complemented the white flower decals on her strapless black top and pants.

Days before his untimely death, Jesus Guerrero was reportedly working with one of his biggest celebrity clients.
The hairstylist seemingly teamed up with Jennifer Lopez as she traveled to the United Arab Emirates for several work functions.
“Business trip ,” Lopez, 55, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, February 19, while sharing photos from her overseas trip that included a performance at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena and a separate concert in Abu Dhabi.
In the post, the “On the Floor” singer tagged Guerrero, suggesting that he was part of her glam squad for the getaway.
Just weeks earlier, Guerrero was in Los Angeles prepping Kali Uchis for the 2025 Grammys. In his final Instagram post before his death, the hairstylist shared photos of Uchis’ red carpet look with the caption, “Grammys 2025 .”
Jesus’ death was confirmed on Saturday, February 22, when his sister Gris Guerrero set up a GoFundMe page in his honor. He was 34.

“My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister,” Gris wrote in the description. “It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend and so much more.”
A cause of death has yet to be revealed and Gris shared that the family may not have answers for quite some time.
“At this moment, answers won’t seem to be here for a while but we thank everyone for their love, support, and assistance in getting these answers as soon as possible,” she wrote in a GoFundMe update posted Tuesday, February 25. “We would love for everyone to remember the light and warmth he brought to every room along with his laugh and smile. He is a soul to be celebrated. His generosity, kindness and empathy was unmatched.”
Since Jesus’ death was confirmed, many of his clients and members of the beauty community have paid tribute to the hairstylist online.
“Jesus, it’s no surprise your mother gave you the name Jesus,” Lopez wrote via Instagram on February 25. “You were gentle and kind and loving, quiet and unassuming, but so powerful, and your presence was felt the minute you walked into any room. You never demanded the spotlight. You never needed to make a sound to be recognized, your heart and your talent did that as effortlessly as you artistry did.”
The former American Idol judge said she was “having trouble putting the words together the last few days.”
“The truth is I’m still in shock that such a beautiful young life has come to an end,” she continued. “It seems senseless and unfair. I know your family is brokenhearted as am I and everyone else who knew you. Your spirit moved on to the next phase beyond this life but I know wherever you are there is beauty and light. And the beauty and light you left here will live on forever. Rest in peace, sweet angel… .”
Other tributes came from the Kardashian family and close friends.
“Oh, @jesushair you were so beyond loved and will be missed so much by so many people,” Chrissy Teigen shared via her Instagram Story. Kim Kardashian shared a family photo with Jesus and wrote, “Our glam fam means the world to us. Our great respect for the art of hair and [makeup] has led us to us meeting some of the kindest souls and make some of our bestest friends. So when one of our glam family members passes away all of our souls are crushed.”
Kylie Jenner will reportedly pay for Jesus’ funeral expenses as his family works to bring him home to Houston, Texas.
“Kylie is completely heartbroken,” an insider toldUs Weekly. “Jesus was her No. 1 hairstylist, and they were best friends.”
Drew Carey has revealed that The Price Is Right had a strict “no meat” policy when he originally took over the show in 2007.
“Now, we have fake meat,” Carey, 66, gleefully announced during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Monday, February 24.
Carey was reflecting on the legacy of his Price Is Right predecessor Bob Barker, a noted animal rights advocate who closed every episode of the show by encouraging viewers to have their pets “spayed or neutered.”
“[Barker] was a pioneer in having testicles removed from animals,” host Jimmy Kimmel joked during his interview with Carey.
Carey explained that Barker’s animal rights stances were adopted by the whole Price Is Right staff, so there was no real meat – or even fake meat – anywhere on set in those days.
“[Barker] really walked the walk,” the comic said. “People don’t know, I was telling [a Jimmy Kimmel Live!] producer, before I was the host, The Price Is Right was a vegan show. Like, they had no meat products. They had no leather goods [as prizes].”
According to Carey, The Price Is Right‘s “no meat” policy went so far as to strictly show fake veggies as props on the grills being given away as prizes on the show.
“They never had plastic meat,” he declared. “They wouldn’t even show fake meat. It would just be all vegetables, asparagus and stuff!”
Jimmy Kimmel Live/YouTube
Carey confirmed that he had the policy changed once he took over from Barker, who retired in 2007 after 35 years as The Price Is Right‘s host. Kimmel offered a tongue-in-cheek suggestion that Barker may have had “the right idea” since he lived to age 99 before his death in August 2023.
“Maybe we should stop eating those plastic steaks,” the ABC talk show host quipped.
Carey celebrates the milestone 10,000th episode of The Price Is Right on Wednesday, February 26. In a recent interview with Us Weekly, he admitted he initially had “no idea’ how long he’d last as Barker’s replacement.
“I mainly didn’t want to get the show canceled or be responsible for ruining such an institution,” he remembered. “Once I got comfortable after a couple of years, it felt like it was more my show instead of me just being a steward of somebody else’s. And now I just want to do it forever, as long as I’m mentally and physically able to show up. It’s such a fun thing! The money’s nice, but it’s just a cool job. I don’t have to go to work, I get to go to work! It’s a privilege to be here, an honor. So we’ll see how long I hold up.”
The comedian has seen The Price Is Right through numerous memorable on-air disasters, including one notorious segment from 2023 when a contestant dislocated his shoulder after winning a game of Bonkers. When it came time for the injured contestant to spin the Big Wheel, Carey improvised by having the player’s wife fill in.
In December 2024, the host repeatedly poked fun at The Price Is Right‘s “judgmental” studio audience after they reacted negatively to a contestant’s strategy for the iconic game Switcheroo.
Prior to joining the CBS game show, Carey starred in more than 200 episodes of classic ABC comedy series The Drew Carey Show and hosted the American version of improv comedy competition Whose Line Is It Anyway? from 1998 to 2007.
The Price Is Right airs weekdays on CBS at 11 a.m. ET. Jimmy Kimmel Live! airs weeknights on ABC at 11:35 p.m. ET.
David Beckham‘s latest underwear campaign led to quite the uncomfortable conversation with his mother-in-law.
Beckham, 49, stripped down to his skivvies for a series of Hugo Boss ads that launched in January, which drew the “embarrassing” attention of Jackie Adams, the mother of Beckham’s wife of 25 years, Victoria Beckham.
“She was like, ‘I was sat with my friends and we were zooming in and do you know if you zoom in you can see everything?’” David told Netflix content chief Bela Bajaria at the inaugural MIP London content and networking market on Tuesday, February 25.
David recalled responding, “Well just don’t zoom in.”
The former Manchester United star married Victoria, 50, in July 1999 and the couple share four children: sons Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, and daughter Harper, 13.
As for Victoria’s mom, Jackie, she has been married to Victoria’s father, Anthony, since 1970.

The Hugo Boss campaign effectively brought David out of underwear modeling retirement, which is not something he imagined was in the cards.
“Getting back into my underwear at 50 years old in front of the world was quite a thing that I actually wasn’t looking forward to,” David admitted. “I hung my pants up when I did my last commercial 10 years ago and never thought I’d do it again.”
He added, “I told my team I’m not going back in my underwear but then we signed the Boss deal and they said they had an underwear campaign and I was under quite a bit of pressure at that point so I agreed and trained for it.”
As David explained, the training and preparation for the campaign were no joke.
“I trained for it for 14 weeks and as someone that loves food and wine, I cut that out for 14 weeks and just went for it,” he explained.
Elsewhere during his conversation on Tuesday, David gushed about what to expect from his wife’s upcoming Netflix docuseries, which is expected to debut later this year.

“It’s gonna see her in a different light,” David said. “It’s gonna see the work that she puts into her business, her life, her family. There’s so many different elements of this documentary that people are going to be surprised by, the juggling that she does.”
He added with a smile, “I think with Victoria, I suppose some people probably think, ‘Oh, she started a brand and it’s come very easy,’ but she’s been building this for a long time. I just think this is going to showcase that. She’s got a very witty personality — she’s very funny. Not as funny as me.”
While I’ve always aspired to be a sophisticated fashion girly who wears heels, I’m not one to casually toss on a pair of stilettos or even a chunky, two-inch platform. My pain tolerance (and patience) is too low to clonk through the night in an uncomfortable shoe. However, with a little perseverance and a few weddings on the horizon, I decided to finally give the style a real chance.
After trying the bestselling Dream Pairs Chunky Platform heels, I’m officially a heel convert. They’re comfortable enough to wear for hours on end and look nearly identical to a pricey designer style — yet the shoes are just $50 at Amazon.
The affordable platform heels come in several colors, including classic black, beige and white, as well as more standout shades like red and hot pink. There are even two fabric options to choose from: satin and faux leather.
The thick, four-inch heel figuratively — and literally — elevates my nighttime look. The less than one inch toe platform adds stability, making them easy to walk in. Despite my apprehension, I comfortably danced for hours in the shoe without waking up to a blister or sore heel the next morning.
The insole offers just the right amount of cushion while the ankle strap provides extra support, making them that much easier to wear for long periods of time. The versatile platforms offer plenty of styling options for different occasions. Whether I’m heading to a black-tie affair or hitting the town with friends, I can effortlessly upgrade an outfit by tossing on this platform heel design.
One five-star reviewer says “[the shoes are] super comfy and easy to walk in for hours,” adding they wore the style their “entire wedding night” without breaking them in first.
Plus, if we’re practicing girl math, the platforms are basically free in comparison to the nearly $1,000 designer version. Buying the shoes actually saves money, so head straight to Amazon to snag them for yourself. You’ll be happy to own comfortable heels when wedding season rolls around this summer!
