Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are self-proclaimed Real Housewives superfans — and they’re not alone.

In July 2021, Minaj revealed via social media that she would love to host the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, which host Andy Cohen supported. “I want to see this!” he wrote in the comments section of Minaj’s post. Several cast members including Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon and Wendy Osefo showed their love for the idea as well.

Rihanna, meanwhile, showed her support for the Real Housewives of New York City’s Leah McSweeney in July 2021 while wearing one of her Married to the Mob streetwear items.

“You’re not exactly my demographic, so it’s all good. I already have Rihanna wearing my sh—t, I don’t need you wearing my sh—t,” McSweeney said on the show when costar Ramona Singer took a dig at her clothing line.

Rihanna then took to Instagram to share a selfie of her wearing a “Bitch Mob” t-shirt. “What was said @ramonasinger?#RHONY,” she wrote alongside a clip of the scene.

Selling the City‘s Taylor Middleton admitted on screen that she wasn’t sure she would remain married to husband Peter Scavo — but are they still together now?

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Taylor confirmed that her and Peter were still together and attempting to expand their family after weathering numerous relationship issues — including fertility struggles — on screen.

“It’s a lengthy process. It’s quite complicated and it is a journey. We’re still moving forward on the process,” Taylor noted. “There are just a few surgeries and procedures that need to happen before [IVF], so I would love to be able to speed it up. But I’m with the most amazing doctors and we’re so lucky to have the best resources here in the city.”

Taylor admitted it was “at times tough to watch” her scenes with Peter, which included the couple discussing the possibility of having children.

Couples Who Survived the Reality TV Curse (So Far) 

“[But] being so vulnerable and candid, I don’t know how to be any way other than myself,” she added. “And at the end of the day, you’re seeing a moment. But relationships and marriage [are] life. It mimics life. You have good days and you have bad days.”

Despite showing the more tumultuous sides to her marriage, Taylor says she has remained committed to Peter, adding, “It’s about finding someone that you’re really wanting to go into the trenches with. I’m really lucky to have that in my marriage — but also in a boss and my teammates.”

Selling the City, which premiered on Friday, January 3, introduced Us to the latest reality show from Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello. The series follows Eleonora Srugo’s real estate group at Douglas Elliman, which consists of Taylor, Jade Chan, Abigail Godfrey, Jordyn Taylor Braff, Gisselle Meneses Nunez and Justin Tuinstra. Former Million Dollar Listing New York‘s Steve Gold, who currently works for The Corcoran Group, also makes various appearances throughout the season.

When she was not focused on selling high-end real estate, Taylor found herself struggling in her marriage to Peter.

“Everything is coming at once, which is good. It’s a blessing and I’m very grateful for it. But trying to manage it all is a lot. And then not being able to have great one-on-one time with your partner, it can take a toll,” Taylor told Eleonora on the show. “There’s a lot of stress in real estate and I’m on my phone a lot. I know that really bothers him and I get it because I would feel the exact same way.”

Taylor noted that her commitment to her work caused her husband “to take the back seat,” saying, “You can have it all but not all at one time … We have been together for a decade now but throughout those 10 years so much has changed. Relationships are really f—king hard. And I’m sober and in recovery and that wasn’t a part of my life when we got together and now it is.”

Eleonora then asked Taylor how many years of her decade-long marriage were “really” good. “I don’t know how to quantify it,” Taylor replied. “Four were really good and six have been really hard.”

Later in the season, Selling the City offered Us a front row seat to Taylor and Peter’s awkward date that ended with both of them on their phones instead of paying attention to each other. In another scene, Taylor attempted to bring up a conversation about exploring IVF again.

“It is expensive and time-consuming. I am also the breadwinner in the family,” she told the cameras. “The last time that we went through this process, it didn’t work out.”

Failed Reality TV Romances Over the Years

While Taylor seemed committed to having children with Peter, he argued that she would lose her “professional momentum” if she decided to become a mom. He told Taylor on screen that he couldn’t process how she would be able to balance her career and demands that come with parenthood. (Elsewhere in the show, Eleonora confronted Taylor after finding out she went above her head for a loan due to money issues.)

“It’s a very weighted thing to try to process when I know [having children] doesn’t fix the marriage at all. I am not naive to that,” Taylor said in a confessional. “I have heard that kids with marriage, it brings out the best in your marriage and the absolute worst. I am processing all of it.”

An offscreen producer subsequently asked Taylor if she saw “a world where” she would “stay together” with Peter, to which she replied, “I don’t know.”

It didn’t take long for Kat Dennings and Tim Allen to build a real-life bond similar to their Shifting Gears daughter-dad duo.

“It clicked pretty fast. We had lunch after I accepted the role and I felt immediately like I could trust him for some reason,” Dennings, 38, exclusively shared in the newest issue of Us Weekly. “And he opened up really fast to me. So I [was] like, ‘OK, this guy is like letting me in.'”

Dennings went on to explain that her and Allen’s “instant” connection has only gotten stronger.

“For some reason it worked pretty immediately — maybe because I’ve grown up watching him for so much of my life, but it just worked. It felt very organic,” she recalled. “And as [filming has] progressed, our scenes are so funny, if I do say so myself. The arguments are my favorite scenes to play because I have no fear. There’s no fear for either of us. We just absolutely go for it and it’s so much fun.”

What to Know About Tim Allen and Kat Dennings' ABC Sitcom 'Shifting Gears'

Shifting Gears, which premieres on Wednesday, January 8 on ABC, follows widowed father Matt (Allen) and his estranged daughter, Riley (Dennings), as they find themselves living together and working to repair their relationship. The sitcom marks Dennings’ return to multi-camera comedy nearly a decade after playing Max on CBS’ hit show 2 Broke Girls from 2011 to 2017.

“I felt scared at first because it had been so long. I felt like I forgot everything. Then as soon as we started the first take, it was like I had never left. It was so crazy,” Dennings shared. “I really worked myself out over it. I was really in my head about it. Then it felt so organic. I feel like I never stopped doing multicam work. I love it, I really do.”

Behind the scenes, Shifting Gears reunited Dennings with showrunner Michelle Nader, who previously worked with her on 2 Broke Girls and Hulu’s Dollface. The Easter eggs don’t stop there either, with a guest appearance from Dennings’ former Dollface costar Brenda Song — and that’s only the beginning.

“Brenda is one of my best friends in real life because we met on Dollhouse and then Michelle is our Shifting Gears showrunner. And Brenda and I always talked about doing a multicam together. We would joke like, ‘Wouldn’t it be great though? So she did [a guest spot] because we just want to hang out,” Dennings said, teasing the upcoming episode. “I can’t reveal too many guest stars but there will be people coming up that are really incredible. I think Michelle has put in a few special little references for me through the whole series.”

In addition to Dennings and Allen, 71, Shifting Gears also stars Seann William Scott, Daryl “Chill” Mitchell, Maxwell Simkins and Barrett Margolis. Before the season even premiered, fans were picking up on the potential chemistry between Dennings and Scott’s characters.

“What I think personally — because it is one of my favorite things, too — is I am on board with stretching it out,” she told Us about the potential fictional romance. “The best onscreen relationships are when they stretch it out for many, many, many seasons because then the payoff is so satisfying. Hopefully — if we’re lucky enough to go many seasons — it’ll take that long.”

While reflecting on her time on the set of Shifting Gears so far, Dennings called filming a “magical situation,” adding, “I was having a talk with a friend and I wasn’t sure what to do next. She was like, ‘Well if you could just describe your dream project, what would it be?’ I was like, ‘I’d love to do a sitcom again.’ I just described this exact scenario. Then the next day, I got the call about this.”

Celebrities Who Became BFFs With Their Costars

She concluded: “It was shocking. I’m still weirded out about it because I feel like I wished for it and there it was. So that is how it happened. And I grew up watching [Tim’s show] Home Improvement so I was very excited about the idea of being his daughter. It’s just been so fantastic and I feel very lucky.”

For more from Dennings about her next sitcom chapter, pick up the new issue of Us Weekly, on stands now.

Shifting Gears premieres on ABC Wednesday, January 8, at 8 p.m. ET before streaming the next day on Hulu.

From American Horror Story to Stranger Things to Euphoria to Game of Thrones, some TV shows are tough to watch because of its dark subject matter — while others aren’t the easiest to enjoy due to dark lighting.

Certain programs have become known for being harder to see and cinematographers have weighed in on whether the issue is on the viewer or the content itself.

“I don’t know why there’s this trend now to shoot extremely dark, but I think — I’m not going to name names — there are two sides to it,” Shasta Spahn, who has worked on American Horror Stories, told Vulture in November 2023. “There’s a version where people know what their exposure and balance is and they know how to make a scene look a certain way that has darkness technically. And then there’s the other side of it where people don’t know what they’re doing. They’re making it look really dark.”

Spahn cited several examples on the filmmaker’s side, adding, “They have no light in the actor’s eyes. They have no separation between the foreground and the background, and it’s unskilled and looks horrible. … Night scenes can be done and are done so beautifully, but they’re also done so poorly.”

Meanwhile Lyn Moncrief, who brought movies such as Five Nights at Freddy’s to life, questioned whether “larger TVs” were to blame.

“They tend to have a 16:9 format. We’re no longer in this 4:3 television analog era where the distinctions between television and movies, at least in terms of composition and aspect ratios, are so extreme. Pre-2000, that aspect ratio was forced upon you when shooting TV,” Moncrief noted. “You’re seeing a lot more projects, and they’re shooting 2.39:1 with letterboxing and things of that nature that used to always be a fight to have. That cinematic influence has had a direct effect on streaming shows, whereas in the past, that was not the case.”

House of the Dragon cinematographer Pepe Avila del Pino had his own take on the subject. He specifically called out “overprocessed color correction” that became too common with everyone’s favorite TV shows.

“The blacks are not blacks. And there’s a standardized look. A lot of TV starts to look the same, and that has to do with many things. One of them is the technology we all have now, like the use of LED lights, which are faster and more practical,” Del Pino explained. “The cameras are faster too and the lenses are more sensitive to light. All those reasons tend to push the workflow day-to-day on set with TV on a very rushed schedule, usually.”

He continued: “I think it’s more a consequence of the tools being used, rather than an artistic vision. There’ve been a lot of people making TV very fast in the past few years. Things are pre-produced, produced, and then distributed to postproduction, and then sent back to the streamers in a very short time span. All these factors lend themselves to these low light levels and an overly color-corrected look onscreen.”

Selling the City‘s Jade Chan threatened to sue Netflix while filming the show’s season finale — but is that still the plan?

“No, I am not taking legal action,” Jade exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of Selling the City‘s premiere on Friday, January 3. “I [actually want to] thank the producers for their beautiful way of still telling that story and still showcasing the spiciness that was there in that heated moment.”

Jade was grateful that the explosive last moments of season 1 still showed her perspective.

“They were very respectful in knowing what was right and wrong in regards to [what to include]. Because there was much more to that scene than just the one minute that is shown. So I appreciate and respect them for that matter,” she continued. “That’s really where those comments from me were coming from. Because there were below-the-belt things said from both sides — from Abigail [Godfrey] and myself — that I would never want to be shown across the entire world.”

'Selling Sunset' Cast's Quotes About Which Scenes Didn't Make the Final Cut

Selling the City, which comes from Selling Sunset creator Adam DiVello, follows Eleonora Srugo‘s real estate group at Douglas Elliman that consists of Jade, Abi, Jordyn Taylor Braff, Taylor Middleton, Gisselle Meneses Nunez and Justin Tuinstra. (Former Million Dollar Listing New York‘s Steve Gold, who currently works for The Corcoran Group, also makes appearances throughout the season.)

Jade started the season out on good terms with Eleonora — but not with Abi. Things between Jade and Eleonora, 37, hit a rough patch after Jade’s shady comments were brought up. While they were able to work it out by the end of the season, Abi felt that Jade made certain remarks about others without being held accountable.

“Jade runs [from a conversation]. I want to look her in the eyes and I want to know what type of person she is. You guys are my family and anybody who f—s with our family, you’re going to get the f—ing wrath. I don’t want to disrupt a decade-long friend, OK?” Abi said during the finale. “That is f—ing manipulation. If she doesn’t [admit to it], she’s going to look like the biggest asshole.”

Jade refused to speak with Abi on screen. “I don’t want to do this. Take this off me,” she told a producer. “You are pathetic. I’m not having a conversation like a 12-year-old. You don’t know me. F— this. No.”

Hulu Reveals Premiere Date for 'The Kardashians' Season 6

As the conversation grew more tense, Jade fired back at Abi, calling her “nasty” off camera.

“I am not doing this. If any of this f—king airs, I will sue every single one of your asses,” Jade continued. “I am a grown-ass woman with a real career. This camera better get out of my f—king face. I am not mic’d. I am done. I am not mic’d. F— you, Netflix. F— Netflix. F— everybody.”

Jade told Us that the moment was building up the entire season, adding, “I hold everything in until it’s time to explode — and that’s exactly what happened. We were obviously filming the finale so we’re 12 weeks deep into it and there was a lot going on. It was a lot to unpack and I was seeing red.”

The real estate agent wasn’t thrilled that her personal comments were aired out.

All of the Biggest 'Selling Sunset' Feuds Throughout the Years

“I was being yelled at and things that were being said to me were things that came from Eleonora. At the end of the day, those things that were said were in confidence and I felt betrayed, which is why I came to Eleonora,” Jade explained. “I tried to hold my composure. And she kept coming for me.”

Now, however, Jade isn’t holding any grudges toward her costars. “[Eleonora] is moving through the process of getting over my truth that was told on the show. I am OK. There were stabs coming towards me as well but I truly believe that I was completely authentic to myself,” she told Us. “And we will get through this. I hold no hard feelings about her revealing things about me and throwing me under the bus. It’s all good. I don’t take personal offense because I’m confident in who I am and my authenticity. We’ll get over it.”

The only thing former Vanderpump Rules costars Lala Kent and Katie Maloney can agree on is that their friendship is over.

Dedicated Bravo fans are likely familiar with Lala and Katie’s various relationship ups and downs documented on the hit reality show. After Lala joined the series in season 4, her and Katie immediately got off on the wrong foot. It took several seasons for the pair to agree to a fresh start regarding their relationship.

By the time Tom Sandoval’s affair with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss made headlines in 2023, Katie and Lala were thick as thieves. Season 11 of the hit Bravo series started off on a high as most of the cast members were getting along. But by the end of the same season, there were multiple cast member rifts— including the broken friendship between Lala and Katie.

The issues started early for the costars —Lala later revealed she had a falling out with Katie before production kicked off on season 11.

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

“Right before the reunion of season 10, Katie had gone on a podcast saying, ‘The vibes were off with us,’” Lala shared on her “Give Them Lala” podcast in March 2024. “Something had happened and … we just never came back to where we were.”

Lala didn’t want to give specifics, adding, “It may be talked about [at] some point in time, I don’t know, I’m not going to talk about it today. But I feel like after that happened, we looked at each other differently and we distanced ourselves.”

Katie and Lala briefly worked out their issues, but after a tumultuous conclusion to season 11 Katie admitted she couldn’t see a future friendship with Lala as a friend. Lala, for her part, confirmed she felt the same way.

“We can go over this all the livelong day, it doesn’t matter. What’s done is done,” Lala said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in December 2024. “We may be able to rebuild at some point or we may never see each other again. Who the f— knows, right? But I do want her to be happy in her life. She deserves that.”

Lala subsequently confirmed that “neither” of them “reached out to each other” since the season 11 reunion of Vanderpump Rules. Keep scrolling to see what both Lala and Katie have said about their ongoing fractured friendship:

Offscreen Issues

During a January 2023 episode of her “You’re Gonna Love Me” podcast, Katie admitted that her friendship with Lala was struggling, adding, “Vibes are definitely off.”

Lala replied on her own podcast one year later by confirming an offscreen falling out. “So many people asked about [Katie]. So of course, I was like, ‘Why are people asking this?’ Well, now I know that someone asked Katie this on her podcast, and she said, ‘The vibes are definitely off.’ So I guess the vibes are definitely off,” she said in March 2024 about the rift that formed before the season 10 reunion in 2023.

At the time, Lala noted that she and Katie are “at a different place now.”

“There was just never a resolution,” Lala explained. “It was one thing after the other that we just could not quite conquer and see eye to eye. As the season goes on though, you’ll see that we soften up with each other.”

Lala Kent’s Biggest Feuds With Her 'VPR' Costars Over the Years

Not on the Mend

Lala exclusively told Us Weekly before season 11 aired in 2024 that she had a “rocky” season with Katie.

“We have a rocky season, and it was extremely hard and sad. Especially because we were just ride-or-die season 10. That made me sad, but we’re good,” she noted. “[I enjoy having] friendships where we can have ups and downs and then find common ground. I don’t want to always agree, I want to be able to evolve with you. I want you to teach me something about myself.”

Rumors of a feud started in April 2024 when Lala unfollowed Katie and Ariana.

“I found out about that through a post on Instagram,” Katie told Us. “Lala and I over a year ago had went through some stuff and I thought we repaired [it]. Then, this past season you see on the show, we kind of got into some spats. We were like, ‘I feel like we were not seeing eye to eye on a lot of things.’ And I am not entirely sure. I don’t really know what to say about it.”

Airing Out Their Issues

As season 11 continued to air, Lala admitted that Ariana played a part in her divide with Katie.

“I think we were at odds because from my point of view, she was not very honest this season. I don’t recognize that Katie [because] the reason why she and I really freaking connect is because we are no bulls—,” Lala explained on the Vanderpump Rules After Show in May 2024. “You may not like what comes out of our mouths, it may be harsh or aggressive, but this is what it is.”

Lala even quoted what Katie allegedly told her about her issues with Ariana.

“She was getting annoyed like, ‘I’m the only one doing things for this sandwich show. Where is she? She’s always late on her half of the rent. She’s dropping the ball,'” Lala claimed. “She was very worried about rocking the boat after she invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into this restaurant and her business partner is Ariana. I can’t say I wouldn’t feel the same way. I probably would. She had opinions. You can have opinions and still have Ariana’s back.”

Firing Back

Katie ultimately set the record straight on her private conversation with Lala.

“I’m someone who has suffered from imposter syndrome for as long as I have known myself. Hence why I was apprehensive about opening the sandwich shop on my own,” she wrote via Instagram Stories in May 2024. “So when Ariana was going through not only a world of hurt but also getting some amazing opportunities, that changed a lot of things during a pivotal time. I was extremely sensitive to what she was going through but also very supportive.”

Katie denied Lala’s comments about Ariana abandoning her, adding, “I was dealing with immense insecurity about what I could take on and simply didn’t want to put that on her. I had an emotional response that didn’t feel appropriate bringing to her front door so I went to where I felt safe. Or where I thought I felt safe.”

While Katie and Ariana were able to work out their issues, the same couldn’t be said for Katie and Lala. “To know me is to know I value trust, loyalty and integrity,” Katie concluded.

Every Story Line — and Feud — That Happened Between 'VPR' Seasons 11 and 12

Questioning Their Friendship

In addition to questioning Katie, Lala also took digs at her friendship with Ariana, saying on a June 2024 episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast, “Trauma bonds run deep. I’ve had trauma bonds before and they are thick, but neither of you better get over the trauma. Because once you start healing, [that] bond is over.”

Cutting Ties

Katie called out Lala’s attempt to resurface old drama on screen — specifically her miscommunication with Ariana — during the season 11 reunion of Vanderpump Rules. She later elaborated on why she didn’t see herself getting to a good place with Lala again.

“I felt like obviously she had been harboring certain feelings and thinking certain things that I didn’t know she had felt. And so she was saving them for the reunion, which I didn’t feel like was super authentic,” Katie said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in July 2024. “To sit there and be called an inauthentic person or fake. But meanwhile, I’m sitting next to somebody who I thought I knew and knew very well and was open and honest with me but had been feeling a certain way about me for a very long time. That was shocking.”

Katie questioned Lala’s behavior when cameras were rolling.

“Once you violate my trust like that, it’s very hard to come back from. Trust is the most important thing to me. And when you try to manipulate me with that and use it against me and say we talked about these things,” she continued. “Those weren’t the kind of conversations that were meant for the camera. Not everything is. … I’m allowed to have some kind of privacy and talk about emotions with people. I do with my mom, I do with other friends.”

During the podcast appearance, Katie was asked whether she thought Lala revealed their private conversations because she was getting too much backlash from the public, to which she quipped, “Would you say [she was] living in the comment section?” (The response was a reference to Lala’s reunion claims that their costars — such as James Kennedy and Scheana Shay — were behaving based on how they thought Bravo fans wanted them to.)

Waving Goodbye

After season 11 came to an end, Lala reflected on the close bond she had with Katie.

“They all have a really special place in my heart. I had a really fun time with Ariana when I first was on the show. Katie, my friendship with her [during] season 10, I thought that that friendship was really on point,” she noted on her podcast. “When I think back, I’m like, ‘Wow, even though it was a hard time in my life, that friendship really got me through a tough time in my life.’”

Lala clarified she was still “very fond” of Katie and her other costars, despite their falling outs.

“Katie and I were very close. I don’t think now we have anything in common and that’s OK,” Lala claimed. “I don’t even know what we would talk about [now]. We’re just in such different places and I think that friendship was meant to be the way it was for the time being.”

Later in the episode, Lala argued that her connection with Katie “ran its course,” adding, “I think that that’s totally OK. I have nothing but fond memories of that friendship. I have nothing but fond memories of the friendship I had with Ariana and Doute. But people change and move on.”

She concluded: “There’s not a lot to talk about anymore — and we’re just in different stages of life. So no matter why we fell off, I don’t really give a s—. What I do know is the time that we had together, I really enjoyed. And I wish them all the best.”

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast's Biggest Scandals and Controversies

Different Points of View

Bravo initially hit pause on filming season 12 of Vanderpump Rules due to ongoing tension between the cast. The decision eventually was reversed and filming resumed, but with an entirely new cast.Lala subsequently offered an update on where she stands with Katie now that the cameras have moved on from the OG cast for good.

“It was the strangest season that I’ve ever been a part of. It was all very sad. And Katie and I have two very different viewpoints on what happened and the demise of our friendship,” Lala said on the December 2024 episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “She sees it one way, and I don’t like that I was painted to be someone who pockets information and brings it out at a convenient time. Because that’s not what happened.”

Peacock’s Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy is the latest scripted series centered around a prolific serial killer.

According to the show’s synopsis, the limited TV series “peels back the twisted layers of John Wayne Gacy‘s life while weaving in the heartrending stories of his mostly gay victims.” Devil in Disguise is focused on “exploring the grief, guilt, and trauma of their families and friends and exposing the systemic failures, missed opportunities and societal prejudices that fueled his reign of terror.”

“From 1972 to 1978, 33 young men were kidnapped, murdered and buried in a crawl space beneath their killer’s house. And no one was the wiser,” a press release read. “Not for all those years. Why? He was charming and funny. Had a good, All-American job. Was a community leader. He even volunteered to entertain sick kids … while dressed as a clown.”

The scripted series is inspired by Peacock’s 2021 docuseries of the same name — one of several TV shows that focuses on notorious true crimes, including Ryan Murphy‘s Monsters about Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez and Paramount+’s untitled series about JonBenét Ramsey.

“If there are more victims out there and they could be connected to him, it would give resolution to any families who are still searching for answers,” executive producer Alexa Danner said at the time about the docuseries.

Zachery Ty Bryan has faced major ups and downs over the years after becoming a household name.

Bryan got his big break when he was cast as Brad Taylor on the ABC sitcom Home Improvement. The show, which ran from 1991 to 1999, also starred Tim Allen, Patricia Richardson, Jonathan Taylor Thomas and Taran Noah Smith.

While the sitcom was a hit, Bryan struggled to navigate life after stardom.

“If you star in a TV show today, you can be in any film that you want, but back then, it was the polar opposite,” Bryan told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2023. “You were stigmatized as a TV star, and no matter how good your audition, you were never going to be taken seriously. But I kept at it.”

Bryan found it “really difficult” to find stability after Home Improvement wrapped, adding, “On the same token, you might get turned down on a bunch of projects, but you could go out at night and hang out with your buddies at Mel’s Diner and everybody knows you.”

After pivoting from acting to producing, Bryan was involved in projects including Prowl, Rogue River and The Grief Tourist. His legal woes have overshadowed his post-Home Improvement career.

In October 2020, Bryan was arrested for allegedly strangling his partner Johnnie Faye Cartwright. Us Weekly confirmed that Bryan agreed to a plea deal in the domestic violence case, agreeing to plead guilty to menacing and fourth-degree assault.

Bryan, who remained in a relationship with Cartwright, later claimed the incident was “blown out of proportion.”

“We got really loud. We were screaming and because we were in a townhome that had [thin walls], everybody could hear,” he told THR in June 2023, alleging that he and Cartwright didn’t “even really get that physical” before he was arrested. “At the end of the day, [the police] throw a bunch of counts at you because they ultimately want you to plead to something. I could’ve fought it — but that’s more stress and drama.”

While reflecting on his personal struggles, Bryan said he considered it all a lesson. “I do know when things get in the way of who you’re meant to be, where you’re supposed to go and what God has planned for you,” he continued at the time. “He sometimes challenges you to do some reflecting by looking in the mirror and taking responsibility.”

Bryan has since been charged several more times for domestic violence and a DUI.

1990s

After being raised by his parents in Denver, Bryan started acting by appearing in local print and TV ads. He later appeared at a showcase in New York City, which caught the eye of a talent rep that convinced Bryan and his family to move to California. Bryan was subsequently cast as the oldest Taylor child on Home Improvement.

“Obviously, my life flipped upside down and everywhere you go, people know who you are, but I give a lot of credit to my dad and my mom because they always kept me grounded,” Bryan told THR in June 2023 while calling his time on the sitcom as “some of the best days” of his life.

Early 2000s

Bryan remained a consistent onscreen presence with roles on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Boston Public, Family Law, Center of the Universe and Veronica Mars. After appearing in several 2009 projects including Meteor and THOR: Hammer of the Gods, Bryan took a break from being in front of the camera and became a producer on multiple films.

2007-2020

While attending La Cañada High School, Bryan met and started dating Carly Matros. The couple, who tied the knot in 2007, expanded their family with twin girls in 2014. Matros gave birth to their third daughter in 2016 and a son in 2019. Following 13 years of marriage, Bryan and Matros called it quits in 2020.

May 2020

Bryan entered a guilty plea after being booked for a DUI. He was sentenced to five years of probation and 18 months of a multiple-offender alcohol program due to a past record of DUI arrests.

October 2020

Bryan’s legal issues continued when he was arrested for allegedly strangling Cartwright, who he started dating after his divorce from Matros. He received three years of probation, which included attending a violence intervention program called Bridges2Safety. As part of the deal, prosecutors agreed to drop six other charges against him, including strangulation and coercion.

2021-2022

In the aftermath of his arrest, Bryan and Cartwright stayed together and got engaged in November 2021. The pair have since welcomed three kids. He made a TV comeback in Netflix’s 2022 series The Guardians of Justice.

June 2023

In a profile about Bryan, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that he was accused of running a fraudulent agriculture-technology startup scheme. Several sources told the publication that Bryan would allegedly take individual payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 in exchange for fake contracts. Bryan was accused of earning close to $50,000 from the scheme.

Bryan told THR he was not “running some shady scam deal” and claimed he was in “in the same boat” as his investors. He also addressed his past arrests, which he called a “learning experience,” adding, “I thank God for that. I went through a situation that I’m sure plenty of people across the globe experience with their partners.”

He maintained that he was still in a relationship with Cartwright, who declined to provide a statement at the time.

July 2023

One month after the tell-all interview, Bryan was arrested in Eugene, Oregon, following an alleged physical domestic dispute with a woman. He was charged with two felonies and one misdemeanor — assault, robbery and harassment.

Bryan pleaded guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree constituting domestic violence in court during an October 2023 hearing. The second count was dismissed as part of a negotiated resolution.

Instead of spending 19 to 20 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections, Bryan received a “downward dispositional departure” to 36 months of supervised probation, seven days in jail and he had to abide by a set of conditions typical of domestic violence cases.

Cartwright, meanwhile, broke her silence on Bryan’s legal troubles, telling Us in August 2023, “Trauma can bring struggles in many shapes and forms. It’s a horrible situation that’s going to be spun in so many ways. I’ve learned firsthand the truth will never align with what’s been put out there.”

She continued: “I ask everyone to please be respectful of our privacy for the sake of the children and our families so the healing process can begin.”

February 2024

Bryan was arrested for a suspected DUI with three or more priors. According to court documents obtained by Us, Bryan was booked by the La Quinta Police Department for contempt of court as well after he was pulled over at a traffic stop.

A spokesperson told TMZ that the authorities stopped Bryan’s vehicle at 2 A.M. because he was suspected of being involved in a traffic collision. Bryan allegedly showed signs of impairment, which led to his arrest. His next court date was set for April 2024.

TMZ reported in March 2024 that Bryan was charged with a felony after the arrest. He is facing additional charges due to having a DUI conviction within the last 10 years and this is Bryan’s fourth DUI charge. He is also facing a misdemeanor charge of a hit and run and property damage.

January 2025

Us confirmed Bryan was arrested and booked for second-degree domestic violence in South Carolina on January 2. Law enforcement told TMZ that Myrtle Beach officers responded to a residence for a domestic issue.

Police determined that Bryan had gotten into a physical altercation and he was subsequently arrested. Bryan is currently incarcerated and a bond has been set at $10,000.

Vanderpump Rules cast members have offered glimpses at how much they’ve earned during their respective tenures on the hit Bravo series.

The topic of paychecks has come up in various circumstances over the years since Vanderpump Rules debuted in 2013. Following Raquel Leviss and Tom Sandoval‘s shocking affair behind Ariana Madix’s back — which came to light in March 2023 — the former beauty pageant recalled how money played a role in her not returning for season 11.

“I asked for equal pay with Tom and Ariana and for them to reimburse me for my treatment expenses. They refused to pay me equally,” Raquel alleged on Bethenny Frankel‘s “ReWives” podcast in August 2023. “I feel like when you pay your employees, it really shows how much you value them.”

Bethenny, for her part, claimed that the network should have offered Raquel a bigger paycheck because of the resounding success — including higher ratings — of Scandoval-related episodes.

“As people who are partially produced … Let’s just say that it’s real in a very unreal circumstance. So now you have one of the three characters that can’t even afford to pay for your treatment that you just went through,” the Real Housewives of New York City alum said while referring to Raquel’s stay in a mental health facility. “Because it’s my understanding that you get paid in a year less than my interns get paid.”

Raquel’s costars, however, were quick to slam Bethenny’s take. “I know for a fact [how much Raquel made] because she thanked me for getting her with the attorney she was with last season,” Scheana Shay shared on her “Scheananigans” podcast that same month. “He was able to negotiate her $19,000 an episode. For 19 episodes, that is $361,000.”

Vanderpump Rules alum Laura-Leigh is finally speaking out about her time on the show — starting with how much she was paid to appear on season 1.

“We were all working at SUR. I was a new hire. All of that was true,” Laura-Leigh, 33, recalled on the Thursday, January 2, episode of the “Vanderpump Rules Party” podcast. “I was not going to do the show because my agency said they would drop me if I did a reality show.”

Laura-Leigh said she “wouldn’t sign the rights” to let herself be filmed, adding, “By [that] time, they had shot so much. They couldn’t release the show without my signature, and I honestly thought — because I was naive — that this will never see the light of day. That’s what I thought.”

The former reality star ultimately agreed to appear because she needed the money.

Everything the 'Vanderpump Rules' Cast Has Shared About Their Salaries

“I couldn’t pay my rent. I’m a single woman doing it all on my own. I had my own apartment and my own car. No parental help, financially. Working endless jobs and auditioning and testing. Completely depleted,” she noted. “So I signed it so I could get $500 to pay the rest of my rent for that month. And that’s what I made off of the show.”

Laura-Leigh hasn’t received any additional payment associated with her time on the series, despite the show’s massive success.

“No residuals. Nothing. And I had to go after them to get that $500,” she claimed. “The cast all got paid, I think it was $8,000 for the first season. Jax [Taylor] and everyone else got like $8,000. The only reason I know that is because that’s all the money Jax had to his name. And I was like, ‘Well, if they’re getting money, why can I get money?’ They were like, ‘OK, we’ll give you $500.'”

Viewers were introduced to Laura-Leigh when Vanderpump Rules premiered in 2013. During the first season, Laura-Leigh notably found herself in a love triangle with Jax, 45, amid his off-again, on-again romance with Stassi Schroeder.

Jax ultimately ended his relationship with Laura-Leigh after he accompanied her to an Alcoholic Anonymous meeting. Laura-Leigh told Lisa Vanderpump in the season 1 finale she was quitting her job at SUR because she booked a role alongside Jennifer Aniston in We’re the Millers. She has since appeared in The Client List, Blue Bloods, Under the Silver Lake and multiple short films.

‘Vanderpump Rules' Stars Who Left the Series: Where Are They Now?

“People were using your heart and your emotion and your reality [on Vanderpump Rules]. That’s not something I could do. It’s one thing when you’re acting,” she added on Thursday, referring to her time on the show. “When you’re dealing with real connections and relationships, I can’t be a part of the toxicity that was going on. And I was naive to all of it, obviously … And that’s the honest reason why I never went back.”

Laura-Leigh isn’t the only former castmate who has discussed her Vanderpump Rules paychecks. Kristen Doute previously revealed that she didn’t make much when she initially joined the show in season 1, either.

“We had very little in our bank account,” Kristen said on an episode of her podcast in July 2023. “It was $5,000 and if we became a primary, we got an additional $5,000.”

Brittany Cartwright, meanwhile, recalled being “broke” when she first appeared on the show. “I didn’t get paid my first season of Vanderpump Rules — until the very, very end. I was broke,” Brittany, 35, who started appearing as a guest on season 4 when she met Jax, shared on the “When Reality Hits” podcast in August 2023. “It took a lot out of me.”

Jax recalled Brittany’s excessive spending before she made the move to Los Angeles.

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

“It was costing her. This is the beginning of the show and it was costing her $800 to $900,” he said, referring to Brittany flying in to see him while filming season 4. “She was in Kentucky [working at a bar and Hooters] and $800 is a lot of money [to spend on airfare].”

While speaking with Kristen about their original paychecks, Jax said he was just grateful to get paid, adding on the July 2023 podcast episode, “I had nothing at that time so whatever we got … [I felt like] I was rich. $5,000? I was paying $100 a week to live so I [thought] I could retire. When we were filming, I felt like, ‘This is awesome.'”

He continued: “I have been hustling my whole life and living paycheck to paycheck to paycheck. I would do a lot of jobs but by the time I got my paycheck I was so behind on my credit card bills.”

When a true crime case is making headlines, there are usually multiple programs covering the same subject within months of each other.

Not every duel release is intentional, but topics such as Sherri Papini‘s kidnapping case and Erik Menéndez and Lyle Menéndez‘s infamous murder trial are great examples of multiple coverage on the same high-profile situation.

Papini made headlines in 2016 after she was allegedly abducted while going for a jog in her California neighborhood. She resurfaced 22 days later, which is when Papini claimed she had been beaten and branded by her captors. As new details emerged after her return, Papini was ultimately arrested in 2022 for orchestrating her abduction. She pleaded guilty to a federal judge later that year and was sentenced to 18 months in jail for committing mail fraud and lying to a federal officer about being kidnapped.

Papini’s case was explored in Hulu’s Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini, which debuted in June 2024. Sherri’s now-ex-husband Keith Papini and several of her family members and loved ones participated in the docuseries. One month after Perfect Wife started streaming, Investigation Discovery announced an upcoming docuseries where Sherri will speak out for the first time about the controversy. The show will debut in 2025.

Meanwhile, the Menéndez brothers were arrested in 1990 on two counts of first-degree murder after their parents — José and Kitty — were found shot to death in their home. Two trials resulted in Erik and Lyle being sentenced to life without parole while they maintained that their mother and father were physically, emotionally and sexually abusive.

Their case received renewed support in September 2024 after becoming the focus of Murphy’s Monsters series. Monsters came under fire for several scenes alluding to an incestuous relationship between Lyle and Erik. Less than one week after Monsters was released, Netflix announced that Lyle and Erik were interviewed for The Menéndez Brothers documentary. The October 2024 release includes footage from conversations with juror Betty Oldfield, Kitty’s sister Joan Vander Molen and prosecutor Pamela Bozanich.

‘The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist’ vs. ‘The Ringleader: The Case of the Bling Ring’

The Bling Ring — consisting of Rachel Lee, Nick Prugo, Alexis Neiers, Courtney Ames and Diana Tamayo — became infamous for stealing roughly $3 million in cash and belongings from Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, Orlando Bloom, Audrina Patridge, Rachel Bilson and many more celebrities’ homes from 2008 to 2009.

Following their 2010 arrests, the group was the inspiration behind Sofia Coppola‘s film of the same name and a book by New York Times bestselling author Nancy Jo Sales. There was a renewed interest in the case when Prugo and Neiers participated in Netflix’s 2022 docuseries The Real Bling Ring: Hollywood Heist.

Lee broke her silence in a separate documentary on HBO titled The Ringleader. Lee was the main subject of the 2023 project as she offered her side of the story 15 years after the crimes originally made headlines.

‘Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini’ vs. Investigation Discovery’s Version

Sherri’s family and loved ones offered glimpses into her life since the kidnapping controversy in Hulu’s Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini and subsequent press interviews.

After serving time behind bars, Sherri remained tight-lipped about the situation. Investigation Discovery confirmed in 2024 that they were working on a documentary where Sherri would publicly address her legal issues for the first time.

“Sherri Papini drew worldwide attention when she went missing and then again, when she returned. While many perspectives have been told, there is one point of view that the world hasn’t heard and that is from Sherri herself,” President of ID Jason Sarlanis said in a statement at the time. “Investigation Discovery will present a new side of Sherri Papini’s case — told by her in her own words.”

‘American Murder: Laci Peterson’ vs. ‘Face to Face With Scott Peterson’

Netflix and Peacock both revisited Scott Peterson‘s conviction for pregnant wife Laci Peterson‘s murder in two different documentaries.

Scott was arrested and charged with two counts of murder in 2003 after his wife disappeared. Laci, who was eight months pregnant at the time, was later found dead at age 27. After a high-profile trial, Scott, who denied any involvement, was found guilty of the first-degree murder of Laci and the second-degree murder of their infant son, Conner.

Scott was originally given a death sentence, but the ruling was overturned in 2020. One year later, he was re-sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. His case made headlines again in January 2024 when the Los Angeles Innocence Project announced they were trying to help overturn Scott’s murder conviction.

In July 2024, Peacock announced its three-part docuseries, Face to Face With Scott Peterson, which featured Scott breaking his silence two decades after he was found guilty for the murder of Laci and their unborn child. One week later, Netflix followed suit with the news that American Murder: Laci Peterson would be covering the same true crime case — and was released days before Peacock’s version.

‘Scoop’ vs. ‘A Very Royal Scandal’

Prime Video’s A Very Royal Scandal was a fictional recreation of Prince Andrew’s 2019 interview in which he denied knowing Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of sexual assault. The accusations were revealed after Andrew’s connection with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein went public.

The topic was previously covered in Netflix’s Scoop, which was another dramatization about the infamous interview.

‘Monsters’ vs. ‘The Menendez Brothers’

The scripted version of Erik and Lyle’s story was released in September 2024 with Nicholas Alexander Chavez bringing Lyle to life while Erik was played by Cooper Koch. José and Kitty, meanwhile, were portrayed by Javier Bardem and Chloë Sevigny, respectively. Erik and other members of the Menéndez family slammed the series while Murphy stood by the production.

Lyle and Erik will get to tell their side of the story in Netflix’s The Menéndez Brothers doc.

Diddy on Netflix vs. Diddy on Investigation Discovery vs. Diddy on Peacock

Sean “Diddy” Combs was indicted in September 2024 on charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution, one day after he was arrested and taken into custody in Manhattan. (He pleaded not guilty to all charges before being denied bail.)

One day after he was indicted, Investigation Discovery announced an unnamed doc which will be “exploring the rise and influence of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs and the allegations of violent behavior and illegal activity that have trailed the music mogul.”

50 Cent, meanwhile, teamed up with Netflix and director Alexandria Stapleton for a docuseries about Diddy’s alleged crimes. (50 Cent originally announced plans for the doc in December 2023, which was nearly a year before Diddy was arrested and sued by multiple women who accused him of sexual assault, which he has continued to deny.)

“This is a story with significant human impact. It is a complex narrative spanning decades, not just the headlines or clips seen so far,” 50 Cent and the director said in a statement that same month. “We remain steadfast in our commitment to give a voice to the voiceless and to present authentic and nuanced perspectives. While the allegations are disturbing, we urge all to remember that Sean Combs’ story is not the full story of hip-hop and its culture. We aim to ensure that individual actions do not overshadow the culture’s broader contributions.”

Peacock, meanwhile, announced their January 2025 documentary Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy, which features “never-before-seen footage and stories from those who know [Diddy] best,” exploring his “childhood, rise to fame and recent criminal allegations.”

‘Quiet on Set’ vs. ‘Child Star’

Investigation Discovery made headlines in 2024 when directors Mary Robertson and Emma Schwartz explored Nickelodeon’s past toxic work environment in Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV. The docuseries specifically highlighted producer Dan Schneider’s time at the network with projects such as All That, The Amanda Show, iCarly, Victorious, Sam & Cat and more.

The five-part docuseries also featured Drake Bell breaking his silence about being the minor involved in a sexual abuse case against dialogue coach Brian Peck. (Peck was arrested in August 2003 for sexually abusing a then-unnamed child. Peck pleaded no contest to performing a lewd act with a victim around 14 or 15 years old and to oral copulation with a child under 16 years old, which resulted in a 16-month prison sentence.)

Child Star, meanwhile, came out later that same year with Demi Lovato at the helm of the storytelling as she appeared on and directed the documentary. The Hulu special featured Lovato sharing her experiences from child stardom while interviewing other actors about the pitfalls of fame such as substance abuse issues, money problems and more.

Paige DeSorbo is getting the last laugh about those Marcello Hernandez rumors following her split from Craig Conover.

The speculation about DeSorbo, 32, started after Deuxmoi posted a blind item claiming that the Summer House star rang in New Year’s with a mystery man. As Bravo fan accounts tried to guess the identity of the alleged new man in DeSorbo’s life, the “Snark Bait” podcast released an episode hinting that it was “a New York City-based comedian,” which led some to think it was Hernandez, 27, a.k.a the one behind Saturday Night Live’s viral Domingo skit.

DeSorbo left multiple comments in response to TikTok videos weighing in on those rumors. She jokingly wrote “See you in court” to one speculative post, which is a phrase she and “Giggly Squad” cohost Hannah Berner have coined.

Conover, 35, for his part, has yet to weigh in on the rumors about his ex-girlfriend’s personal life. DeSorbo confirmed on Monday, December 30, that she and Conover “decided to no longer be together.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s Relationship Timeline

“I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends. No one did anything. It wasn’t a bad thing,” she explained on an episode of her and Berner’s “The Giggly Squad” podcast. “I think we both were just being really mature and saying what we want and what we didn’t want, and I think that’s extremely powerful to be able to voice how you’re feeling in real time and what you want for your future.”

DeSorbo expressed hope that she would be able to have a friendship with Conover, adding, “I have so much love and respect for Craig. … I will remain the biggest fan for him and want the best for him, and he truly will get the best, because he is the best. But, with that said, I think it is the right decision for both of us.”

The pair started dating in 2021. During their three-year relationship, DeSorbo and Conover have defended their decision to date long-distance.

“We spend as much time as we can together and we’re patient with each other,” Conover, who lives in South Carolina while DeSorbo is in New York City, exclusively told Us Weekly at the Hayu FanFest in October. “We’re in a great place and, fortunately, New York and Charleston are two awesome places to spend time. We just got to put the work in.”

Craig Conover Hinted at Marrying Paige DeSorbo 2 Months Before Breakup

Conover previously shut down split speculation, leadingDeSorbo to address theories that the timing of the announcement was pre-planned by Bravo.

“It’s a very sad thing. And just to say this — not that I even have to — but in terms of people saying, ‘Oh, Paige was told to wait until Southern Charm came out or Summer House came out.’ No one can tell me what to do,” she noted. “The network has power, but they don’t have that much power.”

DeSorbo added: “That is not a real thing. Rumors of us breaking up months ago was also not a real thing. Our first rumor was that we were in a PR relationship. So we’ve been with these rumors our whole relationship and we didn’t really give it a second thought. But I didn’t want [my listeners] to think I was leaving them out of the loop or something. Not at all.”

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are the latest celebrity couple to take Us into the bathroom with them.

The actress, 57, offered a glimpse of her marriage to Urban, 57, when asked whether she sings in the shower. “I do,” she told W Magazine in an interview published on Friday, January 3. “I also hear Keith singing in the shower, and I’ll hear his new songs forming.”

Kidman elaborated on the setup of her bathroom. “We have a double shower,” she added. “The double-headed shower: key to a successful marriage. Separate commodes and a double-headed shower!”

The couple, who have been married since 2006, aren’t the only ones who have discussed their bathroom setup. Daryl Sabara and Meghan Trainor made headlines when they discussed the special feature they had installed in their home.

So in Love! Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's Relationship Timeline

“We just got a new house, and we did construction,” Trainor, 31, said on the “Why Won’t You Date Me?” podcast in October 2021. “Nobody knows this, but in our bathroom, there was one toilet, and a lot of times in the middle of the night when we’re with the baby, we’ve got to pee at the same time. So I was like, ‘Can we please have two toilets next to each other?’”

She added: “We got two toilets sitting next to each other, and we’ve only pooped together twice. We pee at the same time a lot.”

Trainor later defended discussing the duo’s bathroom habits. “I thought someone might be interested in it, I didn’t think it would go viral the way it did — to the point where it affected our relationship,” she said on an episode of the “Pretty Basic” podcast in July 2022. “Daryl was like, ‘You need to stop.’ I said ‘Why? People love it!’”

Despite moving homes, Trainor and Sabara, 32, still found a way to keep the tradition alive.

“We’re moving into a new house, and it has a toilet facing this way, and a bidet across from it,” Trainor, 30, said in a July 2024 episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast. “So I need to make this [bidet] a toilet. So it’s gonna be a little different, but it’s a tighter bathroom area, so we will be close. Knees to knees. And that’s better, I want to see him.”

The singer recalled how the setup got started, adding, “When we first got there, there was, like, an old-school bidet, and I was like, ‘We’re not gonna use that.’ I was like, ‘I have an extra toilet, let’s just pop that one next to it,’ and my plumber laughed at me. And I said, ‘What’s so funny, my dude? Get up there! Like, get it going.’”

Celebs Who Have Discussed Their Shower Habits

According to Trainor, their second toilet was then added for practical reasons.

“Here’s why we did it. Because we have young babies, so we’re getting up every hour on the hour, and this dude pees like a girl, so I was like, ‘Get out of my way, I have to piss,’” she recalled. “Sometimes if I’m peeing and he has to go, I’ll open up my legs and I go, ‘Go in!’ And he’s like, ‘No, I’m not doing that.’ There’s a shower, figure it out. So then I solved this crime, and I was like, ‘We’re gonna pee at the same time, in our own bowls.’”

She continued: “Oh, [but] I don’t like him pooping next to me. I tell him that. I go, ‘You know you’re not supposed to do that.’ We just pee. We’re not s—tin’. You guys assumed poop, didn’t you?”

Selling the City‘s Jordyn Taylor Braff not only dated Trevor Noah in the past, but she thinks he stole some of her jokes.

During the first season of the Netflix series, which premiered on Friday, January 3, Jordyn, 34, opened up to Abigail Godfrey about her dating history.

“Love brought me here. It ended like many, many years ago,” Jordyn recalled. “He and I met on Twitter, which is so random. It’s not [a thing]. It should never be a thing. But I was here visiting and we met up.”

Jordyn recalled being “so nervous” to meet the former Daily Show host, adding, “He’s a celebrity but at the time he was a nobody. No one knew who he was. But I was so nervous that for some reason I was lunging down the street. And he was like, ‘This girl is weird.'”

Unlikely Celebrity Couples Over the Years

Despite Noah’s success as a comedian, Jordyn said she was “the funnier one” in their relationship.

“Trevor borrowed me for material all the time,” she claimed. “I think I was the subject of jokes from time to time. But he would also steal my material — a 100 percent.”

Noah, 40, also helped Jordyn in her real estate career. “He ended up purchasing an apartment and it was my first ultra-luxury deal. I think it was a 10 million dollar deal,” she noted. “It is the only time you will ever hear I slept with a client.”

Jordyn concluded: “But it catapulted me past the rental and the lower-end sales and got me into luxury, which was awesome. Love kept me here but not love for him. It was love for the city.”

Selling the City comes from creator Adam DiVello, who is also behind the hit reality series Selling Sunset. In addition to Jordyn and Abigail, the new show follows Eleonora Srugo‘s real estate group at Douglas Elliman that consists of Taylor Middleton, Gisselle Meneses Nunez, Jade Chan and Justin Tuinstra. Former Million Dollar Listing New York’s Steve Gold, who currently works for The Corcoran Group, also makes appearances throughout the season.

Hulu Reveals Premiere Date for 'The Kardashians' Season 6

Noah, meanwhile, rose to stardom when he became a Senior International Correspondent for The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. He succeeded Stewart, 62, as host and remained on the show for seven years before leaving to pursue other opportunities.

During his time in the public eye, Noah dated Dani Gabriel from 2014 to 2015 and Jordyn for four years before their split in 2018. He then found love with actress Minka Kelly, whom he was linked to for two years before their breakup in 2021.

Noah recently admitted that “it doesn’t bother” him “at all” being 40 and single.

“Society has deemed me a loser whether I like it or not. Being married is like you’ve served,” he said during a May 2024 episode of his “What Now?” podcast. “There’s a certain honor that comes with it. If you’ve never been married, there’s this weird thing that people do to you where they treat you like you’re not a serious person in life.”

Noah addressed the “ostracization” that comes with not being in a committed romantic relationship, adding, “So many things in society that are based around the plus-ones. I’m like, ‘This idiot got married six months ago. They don’t even know this person, and you’re going to tell me that I can’t come with my best friend, who I can tell you every intimate detail about?'”

Later in the episode, Noah advocated for more appreciation for platonic connections.

“There’s something romantic in this idea that we should be diversifying the portfolio of our emotions,” he continued. “Sometimes they yield benefits, and sometimes they add value to my holdings. … One of the great discoveries of my life [was realizing that] I did not need to be good at every aspect of friend-making. All I had to do is find somebody who wanted to be my friend who was really good at that element.”

Michael B. Jordan found himself mentioned on another Netflix real estate show — but this time because of his past situationship with Selling the City‘s Gisselle Meneses Nunez.

During the first season of the Netflix series, which premiered on Friday, January 3, Eleonora Srugo introduced her employees at Douglas Elliman to a penthouse at the Olympia Dumbo which is valued at nearly 20 million dollars.

“So a major, pretty well-known buyer came in here, decided to enter a contract to purchase the apartment. They actually asked the developer here to stop building,” Eleonora, 37, explained. “You know that when a contract gets signed — especially when a building like this isn’t complete yet — you need to wait for a certain percentage of the other units to sell to be able to close on it. That time allowed the buyers to actually walk away from this purchase.”

Eleonora hinted that the buyer was “pretty high-profile” without naming names.

“I think it is someone that both Jordyn [Taylor Braff] and Gisselle know well. People still think that this person is in contract and going to move forward with the purchase,” she noted. “Even the brokerage community is not aware that this buyer for a 20 million dollar apartment is potentially out there still looking.”

In a confessional, Abigail Godfrey confirmed it was Jordan, 37, adding, “We all know. It’s public record. Everybody knows who it is. I don’t know why we are all talking in code.”

Eleonora encouraged her team to use the tip that Jordan is still in the market for an apartment to their advantage. Later in the episode, Jordyn, 34, revealed she “nabbed him” as a possible client.

“I went out one night with my boyfriend and by chance we stumbled upon each other. Drinks were flowing, he let us know what his real estate needs were,” she recalled. “There were three other real estate agents in the room so I had to make sure it was ours. We are bringing it to the team.”

Gisselle, 34, wasn’t as thrilled with the news due to her history with Jordan.

“This client is someone who I had a situationship with seven years ago. But we are still in touch and we are still good friends. We have spoken about real estate,” she told the cameras. “Jordyn doesn’t even have his personal phone number. So I expected for her to at least — just the bare minimum — to just let me know that she ran into this person. It is girl code.”

The duo subsequently attempted to hash out their issues in private. Gisselle initiated the conversation by saying Jordyn “should have sent” her a message before getting in contact with the actor.

“Don’t forget I have known this person for years as well,” Jordyn fired back. “This person is a friend of mine. We’ve been distant friends for years. My point is there is no personal relationship. It is a cut and dry business relationship, which is why this works so well.”

Jordyn argued that Gisselle was making the business deal too personal.

“To me, it was unclear that you guys had any type of real estate relationship. For me, it felt very personal to you. It muddies things,” Jordyn said, to which Gisselle replied, “Me and him are just friends. There’s nothing there anymore.”

Gisselle continued: “I was upset because they have asked me to calculate numbers for them before. So I have had somewhat of a relationship with him and his partners in that sense.”

After Gisselle admitted she felt betrayed, Jordyn struggled to see her perspective. Gisselle then brought up Jordyn’s former ex-boyfriend Trevor Noah.

“What you are saying is if I run into Trevor Noah and now I go after him and get him as a client, that is fine?” Gisselle asked, which didn’t sit well with Jordyn, who asked, “Is that a threat? Are you now on a mission to go do that?”

The coworkers ultimately acknowledged they weren’t sure how to “build trust” after their argument. In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly before Selling the City‘s premiere, Jordyn said they “were still working” on the “very long” process with the listing.

This isn’t the first time Jordan was brought up on a Netflix reality show. Selling Sunset’s Bre Tiesi revealed that she hooked up with Jordan during season 7 of the hit series.

“Who would you sleep with celebrity-wise? Who would you pick?” Chrishell Stause asked before Amanza Smith chose the Marvel actor. Bre, 33, meanwhile, replied, “I could do that, and I’ve done that. I’ve slept with all of my favorites. I’m kidding.”

Bre later claimed her comment was part of a larger conversation about her relationship with Nick Cannon, with whom she shares 2-year-old son Legendary.

“We were all having girl talk, and we were sitting and resetting the cameras — it wasn’t a conversation that was technically [meant to be filmed]. I know better and that’s my own fault. I know better,” Bre told Entertainment Tonight in November 2023. “I’ve definitely learned a lot these last few seasons but that was in no way me trying to be like ‘Oh, I did X, Y and Z.’ I was actually having a conversation and I had said that I had had a baby with my celebrity crush, but that didn’t make it.”

She continued: “You know, there’s other things that happen in these conversations but remember, we want to make a good show. Whatever makes it, makes it and whatever doesn’t, doesn’t. But also, that wasn’t my intention.”

Bre played coy when asked what “era of Michael B. Jordan” her hookup occurred, saying, “We’re not going to get into that too much.”

Ariana Madix has offered glimpses into her steamy connection with Daniel Wai following her split from Tom Sandoval.

After nearly a decade of dating, Us Weekly confirmed in March 2023 that Madix and Sandoval parted ways due to his affair with their Vanderpump Rules costar Raquel Leviss. The TomTom co-owner later issued a public apology to Madix after initially only addressing the negative response his Los Angeles business received amid the fallout.

One month later, Madix attended Coachella with a group of friends, which included Wai. The pair sparked romance speculation after they posted several snaps of them holding hands and kissing at the musical festival.

A source exclusively told Us at the time that Madix and the personal trainer were “just having fun” during the outing. “Ariana is not ready to commit to anything serious right now as she is still healing from the relationship that just ended with Tom,” the insider explained, noting that the Bravo star is “not looking” for commitment after calling it quits with Sandoval. “Part of her healing process was going to have a good time at Coachella and that is what she did.”

Sandoval, for his part, wished his ex-girlfriend luck with her romantic life. “Yes, I love that,” he told TMZ in April 2023. “Yes, I do [want her to find love again]. I really do.”

Vanderpump Rules alum Lala Kent isn’t holding her breath for a friendship reconciliation with Katie Maloney.

During the Tuesday, December 31, episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast, Lala, 34, recalled Katie, 37, being her “everything” until they filmed season 11 of the hit Bravo series.

“It was the strangest season that I’ve ever been a part of. It was all very sad,” she said. “And Katie and I have two very different viewpoints on what happened and the demise of our friendship.”

Lala had one specific issue with Katie. “She sees it one way, and I don’t like that I was painted to be someone who pockets information and brings it out at a convenient time,” she noted. “Because that’s not what happened.”

Every Story Line — and Feud — That Happened Between 'VPR' Seasons 11 and 12

Despite being close to Katie in the past, Lala isn’t interested in rehashing their drama.

“We can go over this all the livelong day, it doesn’t matter. What’s done is done,” she continued. “We may be able to rebuild at some point or we may never see each other again. Who the f— knows, right? But I do want her to be happy in her life. She deserves that.”

Lala subsequently confirmed that “neither” of them “reached out to each other” since the season 11 reunion of Vanderpump Rules. Bravo has since confirmed that the show is coming back with an entirely new cast for season 12.

The former friends were in a good place when filming kicked off — or so fans thought. When Lala questioned Ariana Madix‘s decision not to film with ex Tom Sandoval after his cheating scandal with Rachel “Raquel” Leviss, she also put Katie on blast.

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

“I think we were at odds because from my point of view, she was not very honest this season. I don’t recognize that Katie [because] the reason why she and I really freaking connect is because we are no bulls—,” Lala explained on a May episode of the Vanderpump Rules After Show. “You may not like what comes out of our mouths, it may be harsh or aggressive, but this is what it is.”

Lala even quoted what Katie allegedly told her about her issues with Ariana, 39.

“She was getting annoyed like, ‘I’m the only one doing things for this sandwich show. Where is she? She’s always late on her half of the rent. She’s dropping the ball,'” Lala claimed. “She was very worried about rocking the boat after she invested hundreds of thousands of dollars into this restaurant and her business partner is Ariana. I can’t say I wouldn’t feel the same way. I probably would. She had opinions. You can have opinions and still have Ariana’s back.”

At the season 11 reunion, Katie slammed Lala’s attempt to resurface the drama when she had already mended her miscommunication with Ariana off screen.

“I felt like obviously she had been harboring certain feelings and thinking certain things that I didn’t know she had felt. And so she was saving them for the reunion, which I didn’t feel like was super authentic,” Katie said on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast in July. “To sit there and be called an inauthentic person or fake. But meanwhile, I’m sitting next to somebody who I thought I knew and knew very well and was open and honest with me but had been feeling a certain way about me for a very long time. That was shocking.”

Katie said she didn’t see how she and Lala could get to a better place.

“Once you violate my trust like that, it’s very hard to come back from. Trust is the most important thing to me. And when you try to manipulate me with that and use it against me and say we talked about these things,” Katie continued. “Those weren’t the kind of conversations that were meant for the camera. Not everything is. … I’m allowed to have some kind of privacy and talk about emotions with people. I do with my mom, I do with other friends.”

Bill Belichick‘s relationship with Jordon Hudson has everyone’s attention for their 48-year age gap.

The couple sparked romance rumors in 2023 when they were spotted on multiple public outings. Several NFL players subsequently poked fun at his love life.

“Belichick’s a smooth operator,” Travis Kelce said on a June 2024 episode of his and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast. “His girlfriend’s … He’s killin’ it.”

Jason cut the Kansas City Chiefs player off, saying, “Let’s not go there, please. Jesus Christ.”

“When somebody asked me which ring was my favorite, I used to say, ‘The next one,’” Brady joked. “Now that I’m retired, my favorite is that Ring camera that caught Coach Belichick slinking out of that poor girl’s house at 6 a.m. a few months ago.”
