Teen Mom’s Maci Bookout remembers the exact moment her relationship with ex Ryan Edwards started to change for the better.

“I think it was two years ago when we were in LA and Ryan and I sat down with Coach B. I couldn’t tell you the last time before [then] that I had even spoken to Ryan,” Bookout, 33, exclusively told Us before the premiere of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter on Thursday, January 30. “Us basically just sitting down and committing to starting fresh, and I think that was the real [deal]. We haven’t taken a step backward since then, so that was the turning point.”

During a February 2023 episode of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, both Bookout and Edwards, 37, agreed to chat with Dr. Cheyenne Bryant and discuss how they could build a better coparenting relationship for the sake of their now 16-year-old son, Bentley.

In a tearful conversation, both parties agreed to put any past drama behind them and move forward in a positive way.

While the show proved to be beneficial for the family unit, Bookout also believes time helped heal some serious wounds.

“I think it’s naturally on its own time, we’ve been able to build a solid foundation,” she explained. “Everything is going really well and I kind of feel like the audience deserves to see this.”

As Bookout’s marriage to Things That Matter designer Taylor McKinney remains strong, Edwards is reaching new milestones in his own romantic relationship with Amanda Conner. The couple announced their engagement earlier this month and are expecting their first child together in the spring.

“I am excited,” Bookout shared with Us about Edwards’ next chapter. “It’s been really awesome to see him really come into himself as a man and gain his confidence and just enjoy life and enjoy the work that he’s doing. It’s been really cool.”

She also confirmed that she will “for sure” be at Edwards’ upcoming wedding.

For now, Bookout is enjoying a drama-free coparenting relationship with her ex. She’s also grateful to see her own husband build a friendship with Edwards.

“Just like my relationship with Ryan, they’re doing it on their terms, on their time,” she explained. “It’s happening naturally. I think Taylor’s finally getting to see and get to know Ryan and not his addiction. I would always tell him, ‘There is a person in there. You’ve never known him.’”

Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Sexy knits were Azzedine Alaïa’s calling card from the start, and since the late designer’s passing in 2001, his signature skintight looks are alive and well, thanks to fans including Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner, to name a few.

Currently in Paris for Couture Fashion Week, Jenner, 27, took cues from supermodel Naomi Campbell (who wore a similar look on Alaïa’s Fall 1991 runway), when she wore a modified version of the legendary catsuit: a dress with the same sheer leopard spots and velvet cutouts.

After all, Alaïa’s signature clingy knits were always transformative, and for his 1991 collection, he added a new, feral sense of “animal magnetism” to his famously sexy, body-con silhouettes.

Along with Campbell, 54, Beverly Peele and Christy Turlington also strutted down the, ahem, catwalk in near-identical looks with matching black cashmere berets, bien sûr. This made Jenner’s decision to don her micro-minidress in the City of Light feel all the more fitting.

Tres Chic! Kylie Jenner Stuns During Parisian Getaway: See Photos

Before she took in today’s shows, she struck a series of wildly sexy selfies that put her outfit of the day on full display, as it flattered her from all angles. Standing in what appeared to be her red-walled hotel room, she looked every inch the ‘90s sex kitten, from her bombshell blowout to her caramel-brown Kylie Cosmetics lipstick, which she could be seen applying in the mirror.

She used a pencil with a slightly darker tint that emphasized the contours of her mouth. It is instantly called the ‘90s supermodel lip – a look also seen on Alaïa’s Fall 1991 runway.

She didn’t waste a moment to wear her archival wardrobe in the wild, as after posting on Instagram and captioning it “meow,” she dined at Bar des Prés, the crudo-centric celebrity hotspot that recently opened on the Right Bank – and Jenner dressed the part à la Parisienne.

Princess Kate Middleton is in remission following her cancer battle, which likely means royal watchers will be seeing more of her soon. In Us Weekly’s latest cover story, a source exclusively reveals, “All eyes are on Kate for when she returns to work,” noting that the excess attention could become stressful. “Part of the issue is she’s so popular and gets so much attention. It’s like any royal event she attends has a halo around it and goes well, so the public wants as much of her as possible,” the insider adds. Earlier this month, Kate made her first solo appearance since completing chemotherapy by visiting the Royal Marsden Hospital in London, the same hospital where she was treated. According to royal expert Christopher Andersen, the royal family is “wisely” letting Kate decide “when and how and at what pace she is returning to public life.” For more exclusive updates and top stories, scroll below:

Tiger Woods revealed his unique caffeine concoction after a reporter noticed him carrying a giant plastic Starbucks cup. 

Following the Tomorrow Golf League (TGL) showdown between Woods’ Jupiter Links Golf Club and Boston Common Golf on Monday, January 27, the golfer was asked by TGL reporter Claire Rogers about his drink of choice. 

“That coffee you brought in, was it a Frappuccino?” she asked. “What were you drinking on your way in today?”

“Yeah, it was!” Woods, 49, replied. “It was a Frappuccino with three shots, yes.”

Woods added the espresso shots to what appeared to be a Venti-sized Frappuccino, a blended ice drink that usually contains coffee, ice, flavoring and whipped cream. It is unclear what flavor Frappuccino Woods chose.

Rogers’ followers couldn’t help but delight in the outside-the-box question to one of the greatest athletes of all-time. “This is the hard hitting journalism I want,” one person commented on the video. “Claire out here getting the vital information.”

Another pointed to Woods’ response, alluding to the idea that he might have been embarrassed about his drink choice. “The way he says three shots was verrrrry defensive,” one viewer joked. 

Woods’ affinity for Frappuccinos is relatively new, at least according to a 2020 interview with GOLFTV. In a conversation with host Henni Zuel, Woods said his Starbucks order was “a grande, nonfat, double shot hazelnut latte.” When Zuel raised an eyebrow at his drink, Woods chuckled and said, “I know, stop.”

As for TGL, the new golf league was launched by Woods and Rory McIlroy earlier this month. Monday night’s match saw Woods’ team — alongside teammates Tom Kim, Max Homa and Kevin Kisner — defeat McIlroy, 35, and his Boston Common Golf teammates Keegan Bradley, Hideki Matsuyama and Adam Scott 4-3 in overtime. 

The league consists of six teams who go head-to-head indoors at the SoFi Center,  a first-of-its-kind venue built specifically for TGL on the campus of Palm Beach State College in Lake Worth Beach, Florida.

“It couldn’t have been a more pleasurable display of golf [and] banter,” Woods told reporters after Monday’s match. “Everyone in the audience was engaged. Hopefully, all the viewership were engaged. We as players loved it. This is what we had envisioned for TGL, to have an experience like this, and I think we delivered.”

Despite his team’s loss, McIlroy was equally energized about the league’s debut thus far. 

“It’s been really cool to hear that a younger demographic, it’s sort of resonated with them,” McIlroy told reporters. “That’s a really cool thing. One of the visions when we started was to try to engage that younger demographic and give them a bite-sized version of golf that they could get into and understand. And hopefully, we’ve done that.”

TGL’s 15-match regular season runs through March 4, followed by the playoffs later that month.

From Elle Woods to Melanie Smooter to Annette Hargrove, Reese Witherspoon has enough iconic film roles to make for one movie epic marathon.

After appearing in a handful of TV and film projects throughout the early 1990s, the Tennessee native scored her first major movie role alongside Tobey Maguire in 1998’s Pleasantville. She quickly became a household name for her performances in Cruel Intentions, Legally Blonde and Sweet Home Alabama. She even scored a Best Actress Oscar in 2006 for her role as June Carter Cash in the Johnny Cash biopic Walk the Line.

“I never thought I’d be here in my whole life, growin’ up in Tennessee,” Witherspoon said at the start of her her Oscars acceptance speech. “I want to say that Johnny Cash and June Carter had a wonderful tradition of honoring other artists and musicians and singers. And I really feel that tradition tonight. It is very important and I really feel it. So, I want to thank the Academy for this incredible honor.”

She concluded her speech by stating: “[June] used to say, ‘I’m just tryin’ to matter.’ And, I know what she means, you know. I’m just trying to matter and live a good life and make work that means something to somebody.”

Phil Pines, a former assistant for Sean “Diddy” Combs, is speaking out about his time working for the rapper — and alleging that he witnessed some damning incidents during his two years of employment.

Pines detailed his time with Diddy, 55, in the finale of Investigation Discovery’s The Fall of Diddy docuseries, which aired on Tuesday, January 28. Pines previously worked as an executive assistant for the mogul from December 2019 and December 2021.

“Look, there’s partying and then there’s partying,” Pines alleged. “There [were] guests that would frequently come over and participate in these intimate situations. Sometimes you would see new faces. Sometimes you’d see new faces come in and you wouldn’t see them again.”

Pines noted that he “wasn’t in these rooms while these things were happening,” but claimed he once interacted with a woman who he claims didn’t seem alright following her alleged encounter with Diddy.

“I remember a time when Diddy told me to come up and grab one of his guest’s bags, take her down to the car and drive her to her hotel,” Pines alleged. “I don’t know what took place. All I can say is that when I brought her down to the car, she was shaking. Physically shaking. She didn’t look like how she looked the night before. She said something to the effect of, ‘I’ve never done anything like this before.’”

Pines also described a separate incident in which he allegedly witnessed Diddy kicking a woman who’d been a guest at his Florida home.

Diddy's Ex-Assistant Claims He Had to Clean Up After Wild King Nights

“I absolutely witnessed violence, yes,” he claimed. “Things were getting a little heated. They were being very argumentative. He cursed at her — ‘I told you I was crazy.’ Kicked her. She fell to the ground, kicked her again.”

According to Pines, Diddy allegedly told the woman to take off a hoodie she had borrowed from him, leaving her topless. In response, Pines said he took his own jacket off and gave it to the woman before sending her home in an Uber.

Pines previously outlined these and other allegations against Diddy in a lawsuit filed last month. In response to the docuseries, Diddy’s legal team directed Us Weekly to the same statement they gave regarding the suit: “No matter how many lawsuits are filed, it won’t change the fact that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted or sex trafficked anyone — man or woman, adult or minor. We live in a world where anyone can file a lawsuit for any reason. Fortunately, a fair and impartial judicial process exists to find the truth, and Mr. Combs is confident he will prevail in court.”

Diddy is currently in jail awaiting trial following his September 2024 arrest on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has denied all the allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to all charges.

All episodes of The Fall of Diddy are now available to stream on Max and Discovery+.

Madeline Gaudreau continues to keep her late husband Matthew’s memory alive for their newborn son, Tripp.

One month after welcoming her first child, Madeline offered a glimpse into her baby boy’s nursery.

“Lover boy ,” she wrote in a social post via Instagram on Monday, January 27, along with a photo of her son preparing for a nap in his crib.

Followers quickly spotted a special illustration of both Matthew and Johnny Gaudreau standing in their hockey jerseys alongside a young player.

Matthew Gaudreau and Wife Madeline Gaudreau’s Relationship Timeline

In August 2024, Madeline’s life was turned upside down when her husband and brother-in-law Johnny were struck and killed by an alleged drunk driver while biking in Oldmans Township, New Jersey. Both men were scheduled to be groomsmen at their sister Katie’s wedding in Philadelphia the next day.

A man was later arrested and charged with two counts of vehicular homicide. The individual is suspected of being drunk at the time of the incident. He has pleaded not guilty.

Four months after Matthew and Johnny’s deaths, Madeline welcomed her first child.

“Tripp Matthew ,” Madeline wrote via Instagram in December 2024. “Mommy & Daddy’s world.” She included a snap of her holding the newborn’s hand next to a small sign that read, “He’s here.”

A post shared by Madeline Gaudreau (@mogaudreau)

In an emotional eulogy for her husband during his funeral, Madeline expressed how grateful she was to become a mom and carry on Matthew’s legacy.

“I’m so thankful God gave us a child, a little Matty, to run around for life,” she said at the time. “Tripp will know how much his father loved him, and I promise to do all the things with him we talked about.”

As Madeline continues her motherhood journey, she has the support of her sister-in-law, Meredith.

In a previous social media post, Madeline reflected on the tight bond Johnny and Matthew had as brothers.

“John and Matty. U don’t hear one name without the other,” she wrote via Instagram in August 2024. “Always side by side. Even in large group settings, u can find them hip to hip. John’s younger brother, but he looked up to Matty and relied on him for everythinggg. And Matty was always there. Absolute best friends and biggest fans of each other despite polar opposite personalities.”

As she prepared to welcome her third child, Madeline promised to be there for her sister-in-law and the entire family.

“I don’t think John could live a day without you so I’m comforted knowing you are of course together in heaven,” Meredith continued. “Please continue to take care of John like you always have. I got Madeline and Tripp . We love you very much.”

Kristen Stewart is taking a break from her signature underwear-as-outerwear style.

While Stewart, 34, is known for exposed bras that blend fashion and function, she left her favorite accessory at home on Tuesday, January 28, in Los Angeles when she stepped out for a Love Me special screen in a sheer Chanel cardigan sans bra.

While she may have been shirtless, her sweater spoke for itself, and featured a graphic pattern and pink-and-silver tweed piping, plus matching pants.

The actress’ bare midriff sent cameras flashing, while her chunky silver rings and layered necklaces also shined bright.

Kristen Stewart’s Best Looks: Red Carpet and Beyond

Stewart rocked smoldering glam, complete with a smokey eyeshadow blended out to her brow bone with a touch of sparkle on her lid. She swept on minimal blush and nude lipstick, then parted her finger-raked blonde waves down the middle.

Stewart’s topless look was a departure from a year of wearing almost exclusively bra-exposing ensembles beginning in March 2024, when she slayed in three separate looks.

At a Chanel pre-Oscar dinner in Beverly Hills, the brand ambassador modeled one of the French fashion house’s black-and-white bras, featuring cutout details and barely-there straps. Stewart wore her lingerie underneath a see-through button-down and men’s white boxer-style shorts.

Stewart also left little to the imagination while walking through New York City later that month in cream-colored cashmere briefs with a cable-knit design. She paired her cozy panties with sheer tights, burgundy pumps and a collared shirt left undone with the exception of a single top button to reveal a matching cream-colored bra peeking out.

Kristen Stewart Rocks Athletic Shorts, Chanel Socks and Stilettos

One day later, the Love Lies Bleeding actress stepped out in an edgy look consisting of a fishnet bralette, a leather blazer and a miniskirt with garters that held up black thigh-high stockings.

Prior to her exposed bra era, Stewart was never one to shy away from a topless moment underneath a tailored blazer. She even rocked the look on the red carpet, including the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and the 2022 Oscars, and both looks were clear sartorial winners.
