Hotel Manager Claims Diddy Was Flagged for Candle Use, Shares Aliases

22 May 2025 at 13:56

A manager at a prominent Los Angeles hotel is sharing a glimpse into Sean “Diddy” Combs’ requests before a typical stay.

Frédéric Zemmour — who serves as the general manager of L’Ermitage in Beverly Hills — testified in Diddy’s ongoing trial on Thursday, May 22, and walked the jury through the rapper’s hotel records. (Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty to all charges and denied all of the allegations against him.)

While testifying at the Daniel Patrick Moynihan U.S. Courthouse in New York City, Zemmour helped explain an internal note about the famous hotel guest.

“ALWAYS spills candle wax on everything and uses excessive amounts of oil,” the internal note stated. “Likes the room HOT! Please set thermostat to 75 degrees.”

The piece of evidence also included an instruction for employees to mark the room “out of order upon departure for deep cleaning.”

At one point, Diddy received a $500 fee for leaving “large deposits of candle wax” on furniture.

According to The Washington Post, Zemmour also testified that Diddy would book rooms under aliases including “Frank Black” and “Ryan Lopez.” Staffers, however, allegedly knew the rap mogul’s identity and placed him in certain entry-level rooms, according to the court exhibits.

Zemmour did not face cross-examination from Diddy’s defense team, and the government proceeded to call another witness soon after.

Prosecutors have claimed that Diddy held “freak offs” at various hotels and requested that rooms be prepared to his liking. Candles, mood lighting and baby oil were allegedly some of Diddy’s frequent requests for hotel workers.

Previously, prosecutors have described freak offs as “elaborate and produced sex performances” that Diddy allegedly orchestrated and coerced others to participate in.

In September 2024, Diddy was arrested in New York City on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has vehemently denied all allegations and pleaded not guilty.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo said in a statement at the time of his client’s arrest. “He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal. To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Since Diddy’s trial began on May 5, the rapper has heard testimony from his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura, Kid Cudi and Danity Kane’s Dawn Richard. The trial is expected to last through early July.

Russell Dickerson Shares How a Costco Hot Tub Strengthens His Marriage

22 May 2025 at 12:13

No matter how busy life gets, Russell Dickerson and wife Kailey Dickerson always have time to enjoy a very important Costco purchase.

“I’d say the Costco hot tub has brought our family a lot of joy,” Russell, 38, exclusively shared with Us Weekly when partnering with HERSHEY’S to create the ultimate s’more for summer. “That’s where we have our quiet time.”

Russell and Kailey, 36 — who share sons Remington, 4, and Radford, 19 months — recently celebrated 12 years of marriage.

While life on the road and raising two boys keeps their lives busy and full, alone time in their beloved Costco splurge has proven to do wonders.

“The other morning, we got up before the kids, and that’s where we had a conversation,” Russell said. “There’s coffee and conversation.”

It’s an example of the couple prioritizing intentional time in their relationship. Ever since meeting at Belmont University in Nashville, Russell and Kailey have been by each other’s sides, celebrating life’s greatest joys.

While Russell’s career in country music continues to rise, a busy tour schedule won’t prevent him from spending time with the woman who matters most in his life.

“We’ll leave the kids at home with the nanny, and we’ll get to hang out for two or three days,” he shared. “We’ll get to be intentional with each other. We’ll get to go find a little coffee shop, find a little lunch spot, dinner spot, whatever it is. And that has been huge for our marriage.”

Once they are back home, the couple follow the “combine and conquer” strategy and prove to be an unstoppable parenting team.

“It’s a couple of days here and there on the road, and then come home and have family time as much as we can for days straight,” Kailey shared. “When we’re home, we’re just home, and it’s been really sweet.”

With summer quickly approaching, Russell will be performing across the country as part of his Russell Mania tour.

When he’s home, however, the “God Gave Me a Girl” singer is likely in the hot tub or by the fire making s’mores with HERSHEY’S Milk Chocolate with Caramel bars.

“We’ve always been a camping family,” he told Us. “We have this fire pit up in our house. We’re making s’mores all the time. With two young boys, that’s such a special treat, and partnering with HERSHEY’S with this new caramel dropped infusion, it’s the perfect little addition, gooey dripping treat. We’re getting messy anyway, we might as well just add some caramel in there.”

The Truth About Wendy Williams’ Living Arrangements at Her Care Facility

22 May 2025 at 12:01

Wendy Williams’ current living arrangements are being put under the spotlight once again.

After the ID Channel premiered a new special titled TRAPPED: What Is Happening to Wendy Williams?, some fans grew concerned about a claim that Williams, 60, was moved to a more restrictive area in her New York City assisted living facility after drinking on her birthday in July 2024.

According to a source, Williams did in fact get drunk while celebrating at a rooftop bar. The incident, however, didn’t have an impact on where she lived.

“She was always supposed to be on the fifth floor,” a source exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “But she got a temporary room on the third floor [which allowed her more access]. It was not a punishment [to move her to the fifth floor]. It was always going to be her room. She was just waiting for it to be empty.”

Wendy Williams Is 'Content' and 'Happy' Amid Ongoing Health Battle

A source described Williams’ guardianship as like “a bad movie” and questioned why the talk show host was placed at a facility with a bar if the guardian knew she had issues with substance abuse.

Williams was originally placed in a guardianship in 2022 and diagnosed with primary progressive aphasia and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) the following year.

While appearing on The View in March, Williams admitted that she “celebrated” her 60th birthday in July 2024, but insisted that she is now sober.

“[My] relationship [with substances] is fine and is wonderful,” she shared. “I’ve had my [vices] and I have to tell you something: I am easily going on with my life, alcohol-free.”

Last year, the former talk show host’s guardian Sabrina Morrissey filed a memo saying she’d become “cognitively impaired and permanently incapacitated” following a diagnosis of early-onset dementia.

But Williams insisted to the ladies of The View that she is not cognitively impaired and does not know why she is being kept in a “memory unit” at an assisted living facility: “Get off my neck,” she said in the phone interview of her guardian and the judge who ordered the guardianship.

She added she just wants to “move on with my life: “It’s time for my money and my life to get back to status quo,” Williams said on The View.

The View's Sunny Hostin Weighs in on Wendy Williams’ Health Battles

Instead of discussing hot topics through a talk show or radio show, Williams tries to keep herself busy with her current living arrangements, the source told Us.

“She goes to the gym a couple times a week and she spends a lot of time in her room unless she has appointments,” the source shared. “She can see her family, but anyone else needs permission from her guardian.”

Williams is in “good spirits” after she obtained new attorneys, with the source adding they are working to help get Williams out of the guardianship.

“They have her best interests at heart. Moving forward, everything should be better for her,” the source claimed. “Whatever is best for Wendy, they will go through the proper channels and it will be in Wendy’s best interest.”

Back in March, Williams was spotted on a rare public outing where she enjoyed lunch with friends in Manhattan.

Wendy Williams' Brother Says She’s in 'Great Shape Mentally and Physically'

Although fans are unable to receive regular updates directly from the TV personality, the source said she is “positive and happy” – especially after gaining new legal representation.

“It’s not like it was before because there are people who are actually working on her case,” the source explained. “I believe Wendy will get out, but barriers will be put in place to protect her. I believe at some point, she will have as much independence as she can handle.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Williams’ attorney and guardian for comment.

Kanye West Says He's 'Done With Antisemitism,' Asks Fans for Forgiveness

22 May 2025 at 09:16

Kanye West has vowed to stop spreading antisemitism weeks after releasing a song titled “Heil Hitler.”

In a series of social media posts, the rapper, 47, gave thanks to God and said he would do his part to “share peace” with the world around him.

“I love all people,” he wrote via X on Thursday, May 22. “I am done with antisemitism. Share peace. GOD CALLS FOR PEACE. The earth itself is in God’s kingdom.”

West also seemingly asked for forgiveness for his past controversial remarks on social media.

Ben Platt: ‘I Really Notice All of the Silence’ Amid Rising Antisemitism

“I forgive those who have caused me pain,” he wrote via X. “God forgive me for the pain I’ve caused.”

While it’s unclear what led to West’s latest social media posting spree, the rapper said he recently got to chat with his children. (West shares North, 11 Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, 5, with ex-wife Kim Kardashian.)

“I simply got a FaceTime from my kids and I wanna save the world again,” he wrote via X. “Thank you God.”

While Kardashian, 44,  has not publicly commented on West’s latest posts, she has previously spoken out against hate speech. “I stand together with the Jewish community and call on the terrible violence and hateful rhetoric towards them to come to an immediate end,” she wrote via X in October 2022.

John Legend Explains Why He Fell Out With Ex-Friend Kanye West

Earlier this month, West made headlines after he shared his latest song, “Heil Hitler,” along with its companion title, “WW3,” which similarly glorifies Adolf Hitler, the architect of the Holocaust and the killing of 6 million Jewish people.

According to NBC News, Spotify, SoundCloud and other tech platforms worked to remove the new song, but the track and its video spread quickly on platforms like X, where it racked up millions of views.

In February, West also sparked controversy when he shared a series of X posts that included antisemitic remarks, including a message praising Hitler. West’s X account was briefly deactivated and he was later dropped from his talent agency.

Many stars have spoken out against West’s remarks, with David Schwimmer, who identifies as Jewish, calling for the “Gold Digger” rapper to be removed from all social media platforms.

Kim, Khloe Address Kanye's Antisemitic Comments: 'Gravely Irresponsible'

“We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr. [Elon] Musk,” Schwimmer, 58, wrote via Instagram in February. “Kanye West has 32.7 million followers on your platform, X. That’s twice as many people than the number of Jews in existence. His sick hate speech results in REAL LIFE violence against Jews.”

The Friends actor added, “Silence is complicity.”

On Thursday, West seemingly released a new song with rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again titled “Alive.”

Howie Mandel Recalls the Unexpected Moment He 1st Shared His OCD Diagnosis

21 May 2025 at 18:30

Howie Mandel will never forget the day he shared his obsessive compulsive disorder diagnosis with the world for the first time.

During an appearance on The Howard Stern Show in 1998, Mandel, 69, witnessed somebody touch the exit door’s knobs. What came next was a series of events that would change his life.

“It was my turn to leave and I said, ‘I don’t want to touch the door. Open the door for me,’” Mandel exclusively shared with Us Weekly before kicking off season 20 of America’s Got Talent on Tuesday, May 27. “They wouldn’t open the door. They thought they were being funny and they were. And then I grabbed tissues to open the door.”

While some people witnessing the sequence of events thought it was funny, Mandel believed he was starting to have a panic attack.

“I said, ‘I can’t breathe and you’re going to have to call 911 if you don’t open the door,’” he shared with Us. “I walk out the hall and they’re still talking. And I went, ‘That was on the f***ing air.’ I didn’t know. I thought it was in a commercial. And then I got devastated.”

According to the Mayo Clinic, OCD features a pattern of unwanted thoughts and fears known as obsessions. These obsessions can lead to repetitive behaviors or compulsions, which can have an impact on daily life.

More than 25 years after accidentally sharing his diagnosis with the world, Mandel still remembers the emotions he felt.

While he shares more details in his memoir, Here’s the Deal: Don’t Touch Me, Mandel said he was fearful after leaving the studio.

“My heart sank and I thought, ‘I just embarrassed my family. I’m not going to have a career. Nobody’s going to hire me anymore,’” he said. “I was going to run into traffic here.”

In a quick turn of events, Mandel said a male stranger approached him on a busy New York City street and told the comedian that he was listening to The Howard Stern Show.

Mandel quickly realized he was not alone in his diagnosis.

“He went, ‘Me too.’ And I went, ‘What? What does that mean?’” Mandel shared. “He goes, ‘I have that too. Thanks for talking about it.’ He helped me.”

‘America's Got Talent’ Tragedies

Despite his initial fears, Mandel continues to have a successful career in Hollywood. In addition to being a comedian, the best-selling author is returning to judge season 20 of America’s Got Talent with familiar friends like Mel B, Sofia Vergara and Simon Cowell. “I say this every year and I don’t want to be repetitive, but the thing about our show is previous years always inspire,” he told Us. “Somebody sees somebody do something and they go, ‘I can do that faster. I can do that higher. I can do that more.’ … Because we’re celebrating an anniversary, I think people have done things more dangerous, more different, more surprising and more original than I’ve ever seen.”

America’s Got Talent returns to NBC Tuesday, May 27, at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

Hallmark’s Nikki DeLoach Recalls Her Son’s ‘Life and Death Crisis’

21 May 2025 at 13:27

Hallmark actress Nikki DeLoach will never forget her first days of being a mom to her son Bennett.

“He had four congenital heart defects and without immediate intervention, he was not going to survive,” DeLoach, 45, exclusively shared with Us Weekly at the Children’s Heart Foundation’s Congenital Heart Walk on Sunday, May 18. “At five days old, Dr. Vaughn Starnes at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles — one of the world’s top pediatric heart surgeons — saved his life.”

Bennett’s health scare, however, wasn’t resolved with just one important surgery. At 12 months old and 18 months old, DeLoach’s “heart warrior” had additional heart procedures.

Now, he’s preparing to turn 8 years old and is able to play soccer, the piano and excel at school.

Hallmark Star Nikki DeLoach and Husband Ryan Goodell’s Relationship Timeline

“I grew up in this industry and had my first job at, like, eight years old,” DeLoach — who also shares Hudson, 11, with husband Ryan Goodell — recalled to Us from Griffith Park in Los Angeles. “And when you grow up in this industry, we think, ‘This is it.’ It’s our everything, until you face a life and death crisis with your child. Then you realize that there is nothing that matters more than our health and our ability to not just be alive, but to thrive in our lives.”

According to the Children’s Heart Foundation, congenital heart defects are America’s most common and deadly birth defect, with nearly 40,000 babies born with CHD each year in the United States.

DeLoach has vowed to use her platform to raise awareness for more research and to remind families affected that there are plenty of reasons to hope.

“I see [my son] on a playground, and I know for most parents that’s a given, but that’s not a given for parents of children with congenital heart defects,” she said. “Get your child’s heart checked. … I hope by the time I take my last breath in this world that it will just be a part of the screening of every newborn. When they are born, they get their ears checked, their eyes checked, everything else and their hearts. It sounds like a no-brainer to me.”

Although many years have passed since DeLoach was first introduced to the Cardiothoracic Intensive Care Unit or the CTICU, she still remembers the emotions she felt waiting for good news from health care workers.

During those critical surgeries and waiting periods, DeLoach said she relied on her faith and countless friends who showed up for months with food, smoothies, hugs and support.

“Parents are just as much heart warriors as the children,” she said. “It is such a hard thing to go through a life and death crisis with your child.”

Regardless of what health scare a child may face, DeLoach urges parents to be advocates for their youngest family members.

While the Hallmark star said she was raised in the South “to be seen and not heard,” everything changed when Bennett faced a difficult diagnosis.

“Your job is to advocate for your child throughout the entire process, to ask for what you need, to speak up whenever you don’t understand something and to protect your child at all costs,” she said. “You have to learn how to become empowered in your own body and in your own mind and in your own heart and be your voice for that child.”

Along the way, DeLoach discovered that once she did it for her child, she could do it for countless others who need to be heard.

“What you’ll realize is if you could do it for your child, you can begin doing it for your community, for your country, for whatever is right,” she said. “And we can do it with kindness and compassion.”

Alison Victoria Reacts to Suggestion HGTV Fans 'Can't Stand' Her

21 May 2025 at 12:37

Regardless of how much success Alison Victoria has found as an HGTV star, she’s a human first.

“I think that with anyone — whether you’re in the public eye or not — when something hurts, you can either be crippled by it, or you can be empowered by it,” Victoria, 43, exclusively shared with Us Weekly on Monday, May 19. “Stuff stings and it makes you second guess yourself.”

Over the weekend, Victoria was at the airport when she came across a critical article about herself. While traveling to Las Vegas to film her new show Sin City Rehab, the interior designer saw a post with the headline: “Why Some HGTV Fans Seriously Can’t Stand Alison Victoria.”

Although she’s been a public figure for many years and is aware that people can comment whatever they’d like online, Victoria said the words and angle of the story hurt her.

HGTV’s Biggest Breakout Stars: Chip and Joanna Gaines and More

“I told myself years ago that I wasn’t going to let anyone dim my light, and unfortunately, an article like that will, and it sucks,” Victoria explained. “My flame won’t go out but it’s awful to read.”

Critical comments can be especially “hurtful” for the HGTV star because everything she does on the small screen is unscripted and real.

“I do reality television, which means the person that you see on those shows like Windy City Rehab and my soon to be show Sin City Rehab, that is reality,” she explained. “That’s as real as reality gets. But that’s who I am to my core. People are seeing me for me.”

Victoria, however, knows she’s not alone when it comes to online bullying. From A-list actresses to ordinary moms posting about parenting, the real estate expert acknowledged that so many people are faced with critics and haters in their life.

Over the years, Victoria has tried her best to not take anything personally.

“Understand that the person on the other side is going through some sort of pain because it takes someone in pain to want to inflict pain on others,” she said. “‘If I hurt, then I’m going to hurt someone else.’ And that’s a very vindictive way to live. If you stop and you put yourself in that person’s shoes and you look at it from the outside, you can kind of feel their hurt, and you almost feel bad for them. When you feel bad for somebody, you have empathy.”

Victoria also tries to come from a place of gratitude. The Emmy-nominated producer starts her day with a five-minute journal, where she writes down what she’s grateful for and what she hopes will happen in the day ahead.

She’s also thrilled to have the support of her boyfriend, Brandt Andersen, who can get fired up and defend his partner or help put things into perspective.

“I love life. I wake up smiling. I can’t wait to see what the day is going to bring,” Victoria shared. “I worked really hard to get here, and it feels surreal that I’m finally in a place of true happiness, loving where I live and having the most amazing job in the world.”

HGTV Stars' Dating Histories Through the Years

When reflecting on the article, Victoria is moving forward and trying to prove that living well is the best revenge.

“That [writer] did dim my light, and those comments hurt my feelings,” she said. “But no one’s ever going to turn the lights out.”

Sin City Rehab is expected to premiere later this year on HGTV.

Why The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Hasn’t Worn a Bra in 50 Years

21 May 2025 at 11:12

No bra? No problem for Whoopi Goldberg.

During the Tuesday, May 20, episode of The View, Joy Behar, Sara Haines, Sunny Hostin and Alyssa Farah Griffin found themselves discussing the ideal way to put on the undergarment.

“You know what I feel like doing right now?” Behar, 82, asked her cohosts. “I feel like letting these girls loose. Back up.”

After causing the audience to erupt into laughter, the comedian proceeded to share a surprising revelation. According to Behar, her longtime friend and cohost doesn’t wear a bra.

Whoopi Goldberg Doesn’t See the Big Deal About Working Out in Jeans

“[Whoopi] liberated those girls a long time ago,” she said with a laugh. While Hostin, 56, was quick to describe bras as “torture devices,” Goldberg, 69, explained why they weren’t for her.

“I don’t wear one. I have not worn a bra in 50 years,” she explained during a “Hot Topics” segment. “It’s too uncomfortable, and I don’t mind if they hit the floor! They’re mine.”

Goldberg proceeded to get up from her chair and joke about what she does when her breasts get too low.

“This is what you do. You’re walking and then you go, ‘Hey girl,’” she joked while pretending to kick an object from the ground up to her body.

When Griffin, 35, asked where she puts her microphone on for every live show, Goldberg pointed to her underwear, which appeared to be a black tank top.

The conversation sparked after The View played a clip from the “Reasonably Shady” podcast, where The Real Housewives of Potomac stars Gizelle Bryant and Robyn Dixon debated about the correct method of putting on a bra.

While Goldberg’s latest fashion revelation may come as a surprise to some, the Oscar winner has been open about her philosophy on clothes. Although she likes to get dressed up for special occasions like the Met Gala or an awards show, most of her days are focused on comfort.

“I wish I could tell you it’s deep like that, but it’s not,” she told People in March when asked about her fashion point of view. “If it fits and it’s comfortable, I put it on.”

'The View' Cohosts Slam Body-Shamers Who Judged Selena Gomez's Appearance

She reiterated her philosophy during an appearance on Good Morning America in 2018.

“I’ve spent all of my career being comfortable, and people used to get very mad at me because I would wear sneakers to really important kind of things,” she shared. “I would see people looking really pained at these things. I’d be comfortable as hell.”

HSN Host Suzanne Runyan Marks Last Shift at Florida Studios Before Move

21 May 2025 at 10:10

HSN program host Suzanne Runyan is bidding a fond farewell to the network’s Florida studios.

“So last night I finished my last shift at our HSN studios in St. Petersburg, Florida!” Runyan wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 18. “Hope you get a laugh at my attempt of re-creating a very funny movie scene.”

In her video, the longtime host packed up some of her most important work items, including an NFL jacket she can’t live without.

“All I need is my giant HSN credit card and my picture and my laptop and my [Philadelphia] Eagles jacket and this chair,” Runyan said in the video, inspired by a scene from The Jerk. “Actually, I’m super excited about moving to our new HSN studios in West Chester, PA. See you there.”

QVC’s Most Memorable Hosts: Where Are They Now?

Runywan’s final shows in HSN’s Florida studio appeared to involve Beekman 1802 Beauty products and Samantha Brown Luggage. (She is also known for hosting the HSN Gets Crafty shows on Tuesdays.)

“So honored to join you on your last hour presentation! See you in PA!” Samantha Brown wrote in the comments section. Crafter Beth Kingston added, “The execution of this was even better than we talked about 😁❤.”

Earlier this month, HSN announced several hosts will be leaving the shopping network ahead of the company’s big move to Pennsylvania.

“Over the coming months, we will be saying farewell to Natasha Lloyd, Helen Keaney, Amy Morrison, Lynn Murphy, Marlo Smith, Valerie Stup, Rebecca Vargas, Michelle Yarn and Guy Yovan,” HSN wrote via Facebook on May 9. “We will also have new faces joining our talented team of hosts and we look forward to introducing them to you soon!”

At the same time, HSN confirmed Sarah Anderson, Debbie Denmon, Adam Freeman, Nicole Hickl, Tamara Hooks, Tina Jennings, Emily Lampa, Ty Mayberry, Callie Northagen, Siaoming Wong and Runyan would be staying with the network and moving to Pennsylvania.

Mary Beth Roe Says Goodbye to QVC After 37 Years With Retirement Show

While Runyan is excited to continue her work with HSN in another state, she’s also bummed to say goodbye to so many friends in her Florida hometown.

In a separate social media post, Runyan bid farewell to the gal pals she has met on the tennis court in her neighborhood.

“I’ve been so blessed for more than a decade to have great friends join me in St. Pete for my Monday Bubbles Tennis Group!” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, May 21. “Love you all and will miss you so much! #tennis.”

JoJo Siwa Fuels Romance Rumors With Chris Hughes After ‘Magical’ Trip

21 May 2025 at 15:42

UPDATE — 5/21/25, 6:42 p.m. ET: Are they or aren’t they dating? That’s the question some fans continue to ask after JoJo Siwa shared cozy new photos from her birthday trip with Chris Hughes.

“This years birthday week was more magical than anything🤍🪄,” Siwa, 22, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, May 21. “Full of surprises, family time, performing, chilling, laughing, loving, smiling and good meaningful cries. Absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t change a single thing🤍 a week I’ll remember for the rest of my life.”

One day before, Hughes, 32, raised eyebrows when he shared his own photos of himself cuddling with Siwa.

Original story: 

Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa’s bond continues to blossom outside the Big Brother house.

After Siwa, 22, celebrated her birthday on Monday, May 19, her fellow Celebrity Big Brother UK houseguest, 32, decided to post a collage of photos with his close friend.

“The previous 7 days have been the prettiest.. 😊💫🎂,” Hughes wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, May 20.

Siwa and Hughes raised eyebrows in the assortment of pictures as they got cozy at the airport after a trip to Universal Orlando Resort’s new theme park, Universal Epic Universe.

Another photo memory included the pair embracing for a hug over a meal, while a third picture captured the duo having fun in a swimming pool. Siwa’s mom, Jessalynn, was even included in one of the shots.

“This has to be a hard launch,” one user wrote in the comments section. Another fan added, “Okay, sooooo now what??? 😍😍😍😍.”

On April 7, Siwa and Hughes entered the Celebrity Big Brother UK house as total strangers. In a matter of days, the pair became dear friends and captivated audiences with their dance parties and close bond.

When the show wrapped later in the month, Siwa was confident her friendship with Hughes would continue — even if cameras stopped rolling.

“We still speak all the time, obviously, naturally,” the Dance Moms alum exclusively shared with Us Weekly for a digital cover story. “Now to be out of the house, we just exist, and it is what it is. We’re happy, and we have each other. It’s a great little special friendship that we have.”

In recent weeks, Siwa has maintained that her friendship with Hughes is platonic and is not the cause of her recent breakup with Kath Ebbs. (While on Celebrity Big Brother UK, Siwa identified herself as queer. She and Ebbs split at the show’s wrap party after several months of dating.)

“I think what’s so special about Chris and I is our bond is so genuine that neither of us care what people make of it because we know our genuine friendship,” Siwa told Us. “We know our bond.”

For the fans who were surprised by Siwa’s latest friendship from reality TV, the former Nickelodeon star said she wasn’t expecting it either. But as she told Us, one can never know when they will find a “friendship soulmate.”

“You can’t explain it. It just is kind of there,” Siwa explained about her bond with Hughes. “I’ve had it in a few different ways and every person that’s come into my life in that way, it’s a different bond. It’s a different relationship.”

Duck Dynasty’s Bella Robertson Opens Up About Struggles With Infertility

21 May 2025 at 08:08

Bella Robertson and Jacob Mayo are opening up about their journey to parenthood — and the difficult questions some fans ask them.

“I think people just don’t know what they’re talking about or who they’re talking to,” Bella, 22, exclusively shared in the new issue of Us Weekly. “We share a story of infertility in the show and that’s something that we haven’t really shared publicly that much, but that’s something that others just don’t know. When you just look at someone on social media, you can’t know what anyone’s going through.”

In June 2021, Bella and Jacob, 26, became husband and wife after getting married on a Louisiana farm. Since then, some fans have begun asking when the couple is going to have children.

In A&E’s upcoming reality show Duck Dynasty: The Revival, the pair decided to open up about the struggles they are facing when it comes to expanding their family.

Stars Who Struggled to Conceive Children Share Their Fertility Issues

“I think what we’ve learned in marriage — and you’ll see in our story in the show — is that I wish getting pregnant and having kids was as easy as people act like it is,” Jacob, who is the owner of the General Vintage Clothing store, shared with Us. “Just, ‘Oh, I can just pop out a kid’ or ‘If we want to wait, we get to choose to wait.’ It’s not that transactional of a thing.”

When fans keep asking personal questions, Jacob said it can have an impact on both himself and his wife.

“I think that’s kind of the reason when people say stuff, it’s just like if it was easy or if it was easy not to, we would,” he shared. “But it’s not that simple I would say.”

Bella added, “[When] people comment about us having kids, we’re like, ‘Trust me, you don’t have to ask us.’”

Back in 2012, Bella received her first taste of fame when her family’s reality show Duck Dynasty premiered on TLC. The series ran for 11 seasons before the Robertson family decided to end the project and focus on other ventures in 2017.

In Duck Dynasty: The Revival, cameras will once again follow Willie and Korie Robertson and their growing family of adult children and grandchildren.

When signing up for the new show, Bella and Jacob were unsure if they were going to open up about their parenthood journey. They ultimately decided that honesty was the best policy.

Which 'Duck Dynasty' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Revival

“It was not an easy decision,” Bella told Us. “I don’t think we necessarily intended on sharing it even, but it felt right. … This is just one of the ways that we are showing up and being our authentic selves on this new show.”

She added, “I think that we both felt like if we could help anybody, especially what are the odds that we’re on this stage where we can share something that is so real for so many?”

Duck Dynasty: The Revival premieres on A&E Sunday, June 1, at 9 pm. ET.

Inside ‘Facts of Life’ Star Nancy McKeon’s Retreat From TV Stardom

21 May 2025 at 08:00

The Facts of Life star Nancy McKeon has opted for a quieter way of life after finding huge TV success in the ‘80s.

After joining the beloved sitcom for season two in 1980 as gritty transfer student Jo Polniaczek at fancy boarding school Eastland School for Girls, McKeon’s star blossomed as she worked alongside castmates Kim Fields (Tootie), Mindy Cohn (Natalie), Lisa Whelchel (Blair) and Charlotte Rae (Mrs. Garrett).

When the NBC show wrapped in 1988, McKeon, 59, continued to find work on the small screen in projects like Can’t Hurry Love, Style & Substance and The Division plus numerous TV movies.

But in more recent years, McKeon has opted for far fewer red carpet appearances and social media posts. Instead, she has chosen to live a quieter, more private life in New York with her husband Marc Andrus.

'The Facts of Life' Cast: Where Are They Now?

Married since 2003, the couple share daughters Aurora, 21, and Harlow, 18, and choose to keep their family life off the grid — minus a few major milestones.

“…It’s not often you know exactly where you were…20 years ago 🙃,” McKeon wrote via Instagram in June 2023 when celebrating her anniversary. “…What a great day …I love you♥♥ #love #grateful.”

More recently, McKeon had the opportunity to make her New York City stage debut in the Off-Broadway production of Pen Pals. The show is about two women who have maintained a pen-pal friendship for over 50 years.

When asked if she prefers the stage or screen, the actress couldn’t pick just one.

“I don’t think I could choose; being able to experience it all is a privilege!” she told DC Theater Arts in December 2024 before sharing her favorite qualities about the new character she plays. “Her love and loyalty to the people she loves.”

The play has since gone on to hold shows in Los Angeles, which benefited those impacted by the Los Angeles fires.

“Such a joy to share this ’bucket list’ dream come true!” McKeon wrote via Instagram in November 2024, when the play first launched. “Growing up in my hometown of Forest Hills, NY (in Queens😊) the idea of one day, hopefully, being a part (however small!) of the theatre community was just a dream! Now, many years later, a debut 50 years in the making!🤭😃….so proud to be a part of such an amazing company!!”

'The Facts of Life' Cast Relationships: See Who the Stars Married IRL

Describing herself as an “introvert,” McKeon told DC Theater Arts that she enjoys the simple things in life, like traveling or cooking for family and friends. At the same time, the best part about being a public figure is the “kindness” she receives “from the people I meet.”

When asked to share a role or show she would like to play next, McKeon kept her options open. She does, however, hope the next role won’t focus so much on body image and weight – a theme she experienced working on The Facts of Life.

“Not specifically,” she said, “but imagining all the possibilities is fun!”

Rob Warne isn’t wasting any time getting back into the dating game.

In Us Weekly’s exclusive sneak peek of the Monday, May 26, series premiere of 90 Day: Hunt for Love, Rob, 33, comes face to face with a single lady who may just be too beautiful to resist.

“I’m trying not to go too crazy on the first interaction, but damn,” he shares in a confessional. “This girl is a goer, boy. She’s not holding back.”

When the girl asks if she should find another guy to chat with, Rob quickly says, “Definitely no.” Soon after, things quickly heat up as the pair get extra flirty.

Cameras continue to roll as Rob leans in for a steamy makeout session. The chemistry and sparks are too much to avoid, according to other nearby participants.

“Wow! Rob found love at first sight,” one contestant shares. “We’re only, like, an hour into this retreat so that was quick.”

Rob originally made his TLC debut in 2023 on 90 Day Fiancé season 10. He later appeared on 90 Day: The Last Resort, where he called himself a “bad boy.”

Now that his relationship with ex Sophie Sierra is officially over, Rob is ready for another chance at love — but he’s not doing it alone.

With help from professionals — who will be on hand to create mixers, dates and events for the singles in Tulum, Mexico — these TLC stars hope to find their match as the cameras continue to roll.

“I don’t know if there’s a word to describe, like, single, but, like, more? Super f***ing single,” 90 Day Fiancé: The Other Way alum Tiffany Franco said in the official trailer while describing her relationship status. “So maybe a girl does need a little professional help.”

Kim Gravel Recalls QVC Caller Who Said Her Clothes Made His Wife ‘Look Hot’

21 May 2025 at 02:00

When Kim Gravel goes live on QVC, viewers know they are in for a shopping party.

Whether she’s sharing stories about her family with the program host, complimenting the models’ outfits or joking with the producers behind the scenes, Gravel, 53, makes it a priority to make everyone feel welcomed and part of the show.

“I’m all about community,” Gravel exclusively shared with Us Weekly before her next Today’s Special Value on Saturday, May 24. “I love family and these customers — I don’t even want to call them customers — I call them our girls and our friends, because we have really done life with these people. It’s not a business. It’s a family. It’s a community, and the business just happens because we are in the people business. We’re not in the product business.”

Ever since she launched her fashion brand, Belle by Kim Gravel, in 2016, followed by her beauty brand, Love Who You Are, Gravel has reached $1 billion in sales.

QVC Hosts Celebrate Valentine’s Day With Love Letters to Their Spouse

She is a staple on QVC’s Fashion Days and continues to expand with products in the home department. More items are expected to be released for the shopping network’s annual Christmas in July celebration.

“When [the viewer] tunes into QVC, she knows Kim’s gonna be there and honest,” Gravel said. “One time I was sitting on there, and I just looked at the camera and said, ‘Look, y’all. If you don’t want this, you ain’t got the money, don’t buy it.’ And I remember in my ear, the producer said, ‘Spike in sales.’ I think that we built trust with each other.”

For more proof, just wait for the moments when QVC takes phone calls from shoppers during live broadcasts.

Time and time again, women of all ages share their testimonials of how Gravel’s flexibelle or tripleluxe fabrication transforms their wardrobe and the way they feel.

One time, Gravel was shocked to hear a man on the other line, sharing how much his wife loves her clothes.

“This gentleman called in, and he said, ‘Kim, my wife does not know I had called you, but my wife is fine. Her butt looks so good.’ His name was Mike. I’ll never forget it,” Gravel shared with Us. “It went company-wide after the call, but he was just saying, ‘Thank you for making my wife look hot.’”

A more recent caller said she purchased floral embroidered jeans, even though she was in hospice with an estimated two weeks to live.

“She said, ‘I bought these jeans because I’m gonna watch my granddaughter walk across the stage and get her college diploma,’” Gravel recalled. “Needless to say she don’t have them jeans on easy pay. We mailed her those jeans. … Only at QVC.”

As Gravel kicks off another year as one of QVC’s Q50 ambassadors — a woman over 50 who aims to empower her peers with shopping adventures and inspiring insights along the way — the mother of two vows to remain her authentic, honest self.

QVC’s Most Memorable Hosts: Where Are They Now?

Along the way, she hopes to uplift spirits and deliver products that allow women to look and feel their best.

“I am the customer,” she explained. “I am a middle aged woman who is looking to have her butt look lifted. I’m looking for slimming looking jeans. So for me, it’s never been, ‘Oh, I’m selling you something.’ It’s been, ‘Let’s have fun. Let’s have some girlfriend time and let me make you be the best you can be.’”

Watch Belle by Kim Gravel on QVC Saturday, May 24, at 12 a.m. ET and throughout the day.

‘The Voice’ Finale Recap: Who Won Season 27?

20 May 2025 at 20:06

The Voice has officially found its winner for season 27.

During the season finale on Tuesday, May 20, host Carson Daly gathered alongside finalists Renzo (Team John Legend), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine), Jadyn Cree (Team Michael Bublé), Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea Ballerini) and Adam David (also Team Michael) to see who would be crowned the next winner of the NBC reality series.

After millions of votes from across the country were counted, Adam David was announced the winner of The Voice.

The results come after the finalists had the opportunity to perform two songs each on Monday, May 19.

'The Voice' Winners Through the Years: Where Are They Now?

Jadyn — who is the daughter of Season 25 artist Bryan Olesen — brought the ‘80s back with her performance of “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners

“You’re a star,” Michael shared after the performance. “Everything you are just comes through. You lead with light.”

Meanwhile, John praised Renzo’s rendition of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” at the start of the show. “We heard so much texture and beauty at the beginning of the performance,” he explained. “You’re the show starter this week.”

Although Jaelen accidentally flubbed some of the words during his performance of “What Was I Thinkin'” by Dierks Bentley, his coach offered supportive comments during the live telecast.

“I know you had a moment early on when you got nervous, but the way you recovered is all that matters,” Kelsea shared. “You really showed up. I’m so proud of you.”

Regardless of what the votes would reveal later in the week, Adam praised Lucia’s journey on the show after she performed songs from Pink Floyd and Billie Eilish.

“I’ve wanted you to stay pure throughout this competition,” he said during the live show, “and that’s exactly what you did.”

For Michael, who was the only coach with two team members in the finals, he also offered his support to Adam David during the telecast. “America, go and vote,” Michael pleaded. “This young man has worked his butt off. He’s one of my favorite singers.”

‘The Voice’ Season 28 Coaches Revealed: Are Any Returning?

During Tuesday’s finale, Michael and Adam David took the stage together for a special performance of “The Weight” by The Band. The collaboration proved the pair built a special bond during the competition.

The winning artist of The Voice will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. Last season’s winner, Sofronio Vasquez, was signed by Republic Records and is currently on tour.

Season 28 of The Voice — featuring coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg and Bublé — will premiere this fall on NBC. Fans can stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

Where Justin Bieber Stands With Hailey Bieber as He Continues ‘Healing’

20 May 2025 at 17:00

Justin Bieber is trying to focus on the people and projects that mean the most to him during a pivotal time in his life.

As Justin, 31, remains under the media microscope with headlines surrounding his finances and run-ins with paparazzi, the “Baby” singer’s relationship with wife Hailey Bieber continues to be a light in his life.

“Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can,” a source close to the Biebers exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “She is very patient and accommodating and helps him a lot. She is the most supportive wife, and he feels grateful to have her. They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.”

A second insider added, “Hailey is a positive, good influence on Justin. She’s been a saving grace for him.”

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Marriage Had ‘Total Shift’ After Baby: Source

In August 2024, the couple’s lives changed forever when they welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues Bieber.

While the first source said fatherhood was “an adjustment” for Justin, the new role has also led to some encouraging changes.

“When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him,” a second insider explained to Us. “It’s what’s made him really want to heal and reflect on everything.”

In recent months, Justin spent time in Finland to escape the Hollywood noise and reconnect with creativity.

He also recently enjoyed a trip to Iceland with some of his closest guy friends, where he was able to feel refreshed and inspired to make new music.

“Justin needed a change of pace in order to feel inspired creatively again,” the first source close to the Biebers said. “Justin has had dark days recently and is going through a lot of changes in his life.”

Sources also told Us that the singer wants to get back to making music for his fans forever known as Beliebers.

Hailey Bieber Is Trying to Be as ‘Supportive as Possible’ for Justin Bieber

In 2009, Justin skyrocketed to fame when he released his hit single “One Time.” His most recent single was a 2022 one-off called “Honest.”

“He wants to put music out soon, but is doing it on his own terms,” the first source shared. “He needed to feel inspired, and he is really focused on putting something out soon.”

The second insider said those in the music industry are rooting for Justin and hopeful that he can get back to doing what he loves.

“He has been through so much, and people around him know how hard it is,” the source explained. “They are protective over him in the industry and want him to do well.”

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber's Relationship Timeline

Getting back on top, however, won’t happen overnight. The second source described this chapter of Justin’s life as a “self-reflection and healing period.”

Meanwhile, the first source claimed that Justin’s inner circle is small, with very few people helping him make big decisions.

“It’s a lot at once and he’s trying to adjust to his new normal,” the insider shared. “He just wants to be himself.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Justin and Hailey’s reps for comment.

Brooks Nader Is Open to Dating Women After Gleb Savchenko Breakup

20 May 2025 at 09:14

Brooks Nader is single and ready to mingle with a new man — or woman.

“Maybe it’s Mr., maybe it’s Mrs., I don’t even know. Who knows?” Nader, 28, shared with Entertainment Tonight in an interview published Friday, May 16. “My sister keeps telling me I gotta switch teams. She’s over me with the guys.”

Back in April, Us Weekly confirmed that the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model had broken up with her former Dancing With the Stars partner, Gleb Savchenko.

The breakup has continued to make headlines, with Savchenko, 41, claiming last month that he was completely caught off guard by the split.

Gleb Savchenko and Brooks Nader’s Relationship Timeline

“I was surprised to learn through an article published today … that Brooks has ended our relationship,” the Dancing With the Stars pro told Us Weekly in a statement on April 7. “The last communication I received from her was a text on April 6th, asking to speak. I called her today in response, but she has not replied.”

While Nader claims everything will be revealed on her upcoming reality show titled Love Thy Nader, she isn’t focused on immediately jumping into the dating pool again.

“I’m freshly single. It’s been maybe three weeks,” she shared with Entertainment Tonight. “I haven’t counted. … I’m not looking for anything in particular. I’m just rockin’ with work.”

She’s also keeping an open mind about what the future could hold. Although she was previously married to Billy Haire from 2019 to 2024, the model assures fans she’s not in a rush to find her forever person.

“We’ll see what happens,” she shared. “I’m open to whatevs, but not looking for any kind of partner right now.”

She is, however, hoping her sisters stop talking about her personal life. Earlier this month, Grace Ann Nader appeared on the “Chicks in the Office” podcast and spilled the tea about her sister’s DWTS hookup with Savchenko.

“Every time I visited Brooks’ trailer — [it] was shaking every single time,” Grace Ann, 25, recalled. “I never wanted to go in there. I was always knocking. He was always at our house, it was just a lot.”

After the confession, Brooks joked that she won’t be speaking to her sister anytime soon.

“I haven’t spoken to her since that interview,” Brooks told Us on Thursday, May 15. “I don’t plan to speak to her ever again, maybe. Although, it’s hard because we’re filming a show together. Lemme check back in with you in a few weeks and tell you how that’s going.”

She continued, “That was crazy. She’s in trouble [and] she’s in the dog house — big time.”

Love Thy Nader is slated to premiere on Hulu this summer.

Busy Philipps Jokes She Was 'Ahead of the Times' With Unique Baby Names

20 May 2025 at 08:00

Busy Philipps hasn’t forgotten about the chatter she caused when she revealed the names of her two kids.

“It’s so crazy,” Philipps, 45, joked to Us Weekly while celebrating the launch of QVC’s Q50 “Age Of Possibility” platform on Wednesday, May 14. “I’m always ahead of the times.”

When Philipps and ex-husband Marc Silverstein named their daughter Birdie in 2008 and Cricket in 2013, many fans were surprised at the unique name changes.

But as more and more celebrities continue to think outside the box — with names like Ocean, Win and Daisy popping up — the actress is focused on other things, like raising teenagers in 2025.

Kevin Costner's Son Hayes Set to Appear in Actor's New Film

“I sound like every parent ever. I’m such a boomer, but I do think that the challenges that parents now have and that teenagers have in these last several years have been very unique,” Philipps shared with Us while wearing an Attitudes by Renee dress by QVC designer Reneé Greenstein. “Can you imagine going through puberty and being a teenager during the pandemic? Kids have not done well. I think that it’s been a real struggle for a lot of teenagers and parents of teens.”

Fortunately for Philipps, she has been able to build an open and honest bond with her daughters where communication is welcomed and encouraged.

“I feel really grateful and lucky that my kids are who they are, and they’re so cool and open,” she said. “But it’s a process and a constant communication and figuring out new ways of communicating, because as they get older, that all changes. But it’s cool. It’s cool. Every day is an adventure.”

When the kids are at school, Philipps is hard at work preparing to launch season 2 of Busy This Week with her cohost Caissie St. Onge.

The late-night talk show, streaming exclusively on QVC+ and HSN+, promises to feature laugh-out-loud moments, personal stories and celebrity guest interviews with Chrissy Metz, QVC fashion designer Stacy London and more.

One guest who proved to be a pinch-me moment for the Cougar Town actress was the one and only David Letterman.

“I very much grew up watching David Letterman and to me, he was the king of late night, and I never was a guest on his show,” she said. “To be in this position where he gets to be a guest on my show? Are you kidding me? I was freaking out, and it honestly exceeded expectations.”

When season 2 premieres Wednesday, May 21, Philipps will welcome her longtime bestie Michelle Williams to the show for the very first time.

Busy Philipps Poses With Michelle Williams at 'Dying for Sex' Premiere

While Philipps joked that she finds America’s fascination with their friendship “cute,” she is absolutely grateful to have found such a loyal friend.

“My hope is that everybody has that in their life, that everybody has a Busy or a Michelle in their life,” she told Us. “At the end of the day, your friends are the loves of your life, and they’re the ones that see you through all the different stages. I mean, partners are incredible and, like, are definitely there for periods of time, but the real people who are in it with you, day in and day out, for better, for worse, are your friends.”

Jessica Biel Shares How She Prepared Her Son for the Spotlight at U.S. Open

19 May 2025 at 11:02

In the game of privacy, Jessica Biel isn’t sure if she’s winning or losing.

Last summer, the actress, 43, faced a difficult decision of whether or not to bring her son Silas, 10, to the U.S. Open, where he would likely be photographed for the world to see.

“My son was 9 at the time, and he’s a huge tennis fan — that’s his sport, that’s what he plays,” Biel told InStyle in an interview published Monday, May 19. “We had this opportunity, and we talked about it. We talked about photographers. You know, ‘Are you comfortable with that?’”

Because Silas was still a kid, Biel — who also shares Phineas, 4, with husband Justin Timberlake — believed her oldest son couldn’t make the decision on his own. However, the mother-son duo could at least “discuss what’s his opinion around it.”

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake’s Family Album

Ultimately, the pair headed to Queens, New York, in August 2024 for day four of the U.S. Open tennis championships.

Nearly a year later, Biel still hopes she made the right decision in letting Silas go despite the intense media presence.

“You really want to give your kids every experience,” she explained to the publication. “I don’t know if it was the right decision, to be honest with you, but he and I had a good time. … It’s scary every time. But it’s also their life. And so it’s this really tricky, tricky thing to figure out, what’s appropriate.”

Timberlake, 44, and Biel have tried their best to keep their kids out of the spotlight. While both parents share glimpses of their children on special occasions like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day, stepping out for red carpets or major public events as a family are a rarity.

“It’s a tricky one, a tricky balance,” Biel said. “We do really try hard not to expose them in a way that they’re not comfortable with.”

On Mother’s Day, Timberlake paid tribute to his wife by sharing a photo of Biel playing with one of her sons. “Happy Mother’s Day to the superwoman who puts up with all the boys,” he wrote via his Instagram Story. “We love you so much mama.”

Jessica Biel: I'm 'Devastatingly Nervous' About My Sons Becoming Teens

As both Silas and Phineas get older, Biel admits she’s not sure what they will end up pursuing in their professional lives.

At the same time, Biel said Silas has already shown natural abilities of being able to succeed in the entertainment industry.

“If he was a kid actor, he’d probably work all the time,” she confessed. “And when you’re 18 years old, you want to be professional? Have at it. That’s your choice. That’s what I would like to hold on to, if possible, for him, you know?”

As for Geffen, he was previously linked to Cher in the ‘70s before coming out as gay in 1992.

How Did David Geffen Become a Billionaire?

Geffen co-founded Asylum Records in 1971 before creating Geffen Records in 1980 and DGC Records in 1990. The mogul also co-founded DreamWorks Records in 1996.

According to Forbes, Geffen owns one of New York City’s most expensive apartments as well as a house in the Hamptons and two estates in Beverly Hills.

In addition, Geffen has been retired for 15 years and has no income other than stocks and other equities. Under California law, dividends from stocks that are separate property will likely remain with Geffen.
