“Well, she did send me a list,” Cohen, 56, revealed during the Monday, February 24, episode of SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live.
When asked who was on her list of who he could cast in a new season of the Bravo hit, Cohen got tongue-tied. “Well, I mean, a couple of them were …” he told cohost John Hill.
Hill chimed in, wondering, “Was she on that list?” Cohen confirmed, “Oh, yeah. She’s on the list. It was, I think, being kind of anchored by her.”
Cohen noted that he does like Bensimon — who starred on RHONY from 2009 to 2011 and later made appearances in 2014 and 2015— but wouldn’t divulge who she wanted to join her on the proposed upgraded show. (Bensimon, 56, also appeared on season 4 of The Real Housewives: Ultimate Girls’ Trip.)
“Funnily enough, she does email me more than you might expect,” Cohen told his listeners, admitting, “I can’t find this email babe, but she pitched [me a list].”
The Bravo producer added that one of the people on Bensimon’s dream casting lineup is “someone that I’ve known and someone you know who is not going to do it.”

“So, I got the email. That’s all I’ll say,” he confessed.
Cohen and the rest of the RHONY team have gotten some heat lately after season 15’s low ratings and controversial story lines. Bravo even put out a casting call for RHONY in January before the season reunion. (At the January reunion, the cast seemingly moved on from Brynn Whitfield’s claim that she told Ubah Hassan about her sexual assault and Hassan ignored it. Whitefield’s alleged stretching of the truth caused a rift among the whole group.)
In response, Bensimon told Page Six on Sunday, February 23, that she would happily return to the franchise and help bring it back to life.
“Everybody says I should be back on Housewives,” Bensimon said. “And I’m happy to do it with — not to be mean, but, like, not this cast. I sent a whole list to Andy. I was like: Here’s the mothership.”
She didn’t name names but teased that her list included women who were all “very New York,” explaining, “My biggest criticism — and it’s been the same thing throughout since I was on — is that the ultimate character on the show is New York and we’re not seeing New York.”
RHONY’s cast and future isn’t the only franchise that has fans talking. The Real Housewives of New Jersey stars are currently in limbo as to whether or not they’ll be back for a season 15.
“Bravo has said nothing. No one has any information. There is no information,” Cohen said during Monday’s SiriusXM episode of Andy Cohen Live. “I cannot stress this enough. Y’all are not going to hear anything for a while.”
He also shut down the rumors about Giudice, 52, getting her own spinoff, saying only when fans read a story that says “Bravo has announced” or “Andy said on his radio [show]” will they be factual.
Cohen’s statements back up Us Weekly’s previous report that the RHONJ stars are awaiting a decision on casting.
“All of them have been in contact with production, but not with any news,” a source exclusively told Us earlier this month. “There’s still an open line of communication but no news on who is coming back or who is not coming back.”
Season 14 of the series starred Guidice, Gorga, 45, Catania, 54, Jennifer Aydin, Margaret Josephs, Rachel Fuda and Danielle Cabrael. Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler also made appearances as “friends.”
The insider noted that although there’s no news about what’s next for RHONJ, “Production wants the show to come back.”
A spokesperson for Bravo told Us in a statement that “no decisions have been made around casting for RHONJ.”

OnlyFans influencer Lily Phillips is often candid about her profession as a sex worker — and she’s had a lot to say, especially after sleeping with 101 men in one day.
Phillips made headlines in December 2024 after she revealed she’d completed the sex challenge. The men who participated were all screened for STDs, and Phillips insisted they wear condoms when they had sex.
Since then, Phillips has been the subject of media and social media attention and scrutiny. Here’s a look at everything she’s said about her OnlyFans career:
Her Income Is ‘In the Millions’

A lot of people are curious about how much money Phillips brings in via OnlyFans. Though she hasn’t disclosed an exact figure, in January 2025 she told E! News her income is currently “in the millions.”
In the same interview, Phillips said she doesn’t see herself stopping sex work no matter how much money she makes. “There’s no goal. It’s not like, ‘Oh, if I hit this figure, I’ll stop doing this,’” she explained. “I’m doing it for the love of the game. I just really enjoy it.”
Sex work was also something she did “as a hobby” before turning to OnlyFans. “I want to be unique in the industry,” she said. “This is kind of my niche. I have no regrets because everything I’ve done has led up to this point in my life.”
Her Parents Know She’s on OnlyFans

In December 2024, Phillips said in the YouTube documentary I Slept With 100 Men in One Day that her parents are very aware of her job. “My parents knew straight from the start what I was doing,” she explained. “I was very up-front about it. Obviously, at the start, they were a bit apprehensive because they wanted me to be safe and they wanted me to make good decisions and stuff like that. I just think I can’t hold myself back because I’m scared of what other people might think.”
But that doesn’t mean she fills them in on everything. “They don’t need to know the logistics,” she added. “I do feel a little bit embarrassed. … I guess because it’s not what my parents would have chosen for me to do. Doesn’t mean my parents are going to disown me or hate me or anything like that. I just don’t want them to think less of me.”
She Has Claimed to Be Pregnant

Months after her “100 Men” challenge went viral, Phillips claimed she is pregnant. She seemingly announced the news via Instagram on February 18, 2025, when she posted two photos: one of her cradling a baby bump and a second of a positive pregnancy test. “The secret is out,” Phillips captioned her post. “Baby Phillips 2025.”
Amid rumors that the pregnancy is not real, Phillips laughed off speculation that she is lying about the milestone. When asked by a TMZ reporter on February 21, 2025, whether the pregnancy is fake, she replied, “No.”
It seems not everyone approves of Phillips’ sex challenges. In January 2025, she revealed that Airbnb banned her from the platform after she used a home from the rental service as her location while sleeping with 101 men in a day.
“It was really scary because they could f—ing sue me, but fingers crossed,” she told the “Plug Talk” podcast. “If they sue me, I’ll just buy it off them and make it, like, a tourist attraction.”
Carolyn Wiger already has an idea of what she’s going to say to Danielle Reyes when they meet again at The Traitors reunion.
“‘Good game, girl,’” the Survivor alum, 38, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, February 24, when asked what she wants to tell Danielle, 53, when they’re face-to-face following Carolyn’s recent banishment. “People are telling me this: ‘Carolyn, she’s getting so much hate.’ The game is done.”
While Carolyn acknowledged that she was “super emotional” after watching the recent Traitors episode back, she’s gradually coming to terms with Danielle’s move to get her out.
“I was pissed after watching that dang edited episode. I’m not going to lie, I was pissed,” she confessed. “But it’s been a few days now, and I’m just not in the same place. And I truly do feel so grateful for the experience.”
Carolyn explained that she’s not “just saying that to sound positive,” but instead she’s looking forward to the future.
“There’s nothing that at the reunion, if I get it out or say it to Danielle… it’s not going to change anything. It’s not,” she told Us. “And at the end of the day she got me, and I’m not going to beat myself up.”
Carolyn confessed that at first she was hard on herself for being “so emotional” when she would try to get her point across, and shared that she wishes that she could change up her communication style.

“Even how I’m perceived sometimes in my arguments and how, because I say things so emotionally,” she explained. ”So I was like, ‘I wish I could talk like that. I wish I could talk in a way where people are going to actually hear me.’ But truly, at the end of the day, I do believe there’s two people in that game who think [Danielle is] a traitor and I didn’t have a chance anyway.”
During the premiere episode, Carolyn, Danielle and Bob the Drag Queen were selected by Alan Cumming as the traitors for season 3. The trio were later joined by Boston Rob Marianoin the turret. Now, Danielle is the sole traitor left and she’s selected to recruit her Big Brother bestie, Britney Haynes, to join her. Before Carolyn’s banishment, Danielle wanted to bring Britney in as a traitor. However, Carolyn was not on board with that decision — so the duo opted to murderSam Asghari instead.
After disagreeing with the decision to seduce a faithful, Danielle helped plant seeds against Carolyn to get her out — which ultimately worked. The pair went at it during the roundtable which ended up with Danielle comparing Carolyn to Forrest Gump. While Danielle claimed the remark was a compliment, Carolyn doesn’t see it that way.
“I certainly didn’t take it as a compliment. It hurt,” she told Us. “Then I say to myself, ‘But Carolyn, you’re putting yourself out there the way that you do. Does it mean that I deserve to be called that?’ But at the end of the day, it helps my game.”
Carolyn shared that criticism of her strategy is fair game, but that she wants the personal remarks to be left behind.
“When people make fun of our gameplay, or [say] ‘that was a stupid move,’ or ‘that was a go ahead‘ and call me a dumb player or … I didn’t make the best move or say that I should have done this or that. That’s to me, go ahead,” she told Us. “But when it comes to the personal stuff … I’m not going to lie with playing Survivor the first time — and that’s where I don’t search my name anymore — because it’s like I’ve seen enough comments where people think that I’m on drugs or that my face had a stroke or that I am crazy, or they diagnosed me with something because of my personality.”
New episodes of The Traitors are released Thursdays on Peacock.
UFC legend Chuck Liddell is engaged to his girlfriend, Heidi Rae, after a well-orchestrated proposal on the ice at Anaheim’s Honda Center.
Liddell, 55, pulled off the epic surprise on Wednesday, February 19, at the home of the NHL’s Anaheim Ducks — but first, he had to get her to the arena.
The former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion, who has been dating Rae since 2021, said the couple had been asked to participate in a photo shoot by their beloved Ducks.
“I truly thought we were there to do a shoot and everything was completely normal,” Rae exclusively told Us Weekly. “I’ve been to countless of these with him throughout the years.”
Once the couple made it on the ice – in custom Ducks jerseys, of course – the arena Jumbotron, which had been lowered to the ground, read “Heidi, will you marry me?” Liddell then dropped to one knee and pulled out a ring with Ducks’ mascot, Wild Wing, watching on intently.
“Surprised is an understatement,” Rae said. “I just cried because I was so overcome with emotions. We’ve both wanted this for so long and it’s been a long road. Having your happily ever finally come was surreal. Getting to spend your life with your best friend and the person you trust most in the world is an indescribable happiness.”
Liddell said logistical hangups meant he had to “cancel and change” the proposal a couple of times, but he was confident about the plan when the big day finally arrived.
“I wasn’t really worried about her finding out,” Liddell told Us. “We had done pretty well. She didn’t ask a lot of questions. She’s done this with me in the past. It was probably a little different, but I don’t think she thought that much about it.”
When it came to the ring, the UFC Hall of Famer sought the advice of two very important people in his soon-to-be fiancée’s life.
“I had help from her daughters,” Liddell said. “I know when to ask for help. She had a very particular style.”
Rae’s daughters – Ashtyn, 25, and Halle, 21 – picked out a pear-shaped canary yellow diamond surrounded with pavé diamonds on a diamond pavé eternity band.

“It was just so beautiful,” Rae said of the ring. “It was quite enormous.”
As for their eventual wedding, Liddell and Rae are actually third in line in their blended family when it comes to making their way to the altar.

Jana Kramer isn’t thrilled with the reasons why she decided to undergo breast augmentation in 2021.
“My biggest regret with my boobs is that I don’t know if I solely did it for me,” Kramer, 41, shared on her “Whine Down” podcast on Monday, February 24. “I think that’s what I could say would be my biggest piece of advice. It has to be one hundred percent for you.”
The One Tree Hill actress went on to reveal that a big part of the reason why she even considered getting a boob job was due to her ex husband Mike Caussin. (The twosome divorced in 2021 after six years of marriage.)
“I was in a marriage that a husband was cheating all the time and I would see the women that he was cheating with and I’m like, ‘I look nothing like them,’” she explained. “I thought about it for a while, like, maybe if I had bigger boobs, he wouldn’t cheat or he’d find me sexier or something like that.”
Although she didn’t like the fact that her decision had to do with her ex, Kramer now feels like she “got to a place” where she does feel like she did the breast augmentation just for her after choosing a doctor from home that she felt comfortable with.
“I loved it,” Kramer gushed about her end results. “I had a lot of fun with them post divorce because Mike never actually got to feel them … which was glorious.”
Even though she does like how she looks with the implants, Kramer did admit she’d like to take them out eventually and just lift them again.
“I think I kind of just want it to be more natural and not have an implant in there,” she explained. “So when that time comes for me to take them out and redo them again, I don’t think I’d put them back in.”
In March 2021, Kramer previously discussed how her feelings on having plastic surgery shifted after she welcomed her two kids Jolie, 9, and Jace, 6, with Caussin, 37, and after his infidelity.
“With everything that happened in my marriage I thought I would be loved more, sexier, or quite frankly he would choose me. But the better part of me knew, that was a distraction,” Kramer wrote via Instagram at the time. “It still bothered me though. And after having babies, I had a new set of insecurities with my body. Things didn’t go back to normal, and I carry a lot of embarrassment when I’m undressed. I don’t want to feel that way anymore. That was the ‘click’ that showed I should follow through.”
Kramer told her fans that she’s “doing what’s right for her” and encouraged them to “celebrate” her decision.
“I’m at a place where I feel empowered to do what I want. I’m being honest about what it means,” she shared. “If you need a push to give yourself that same grace, here it is. … Do what’s right for you, and I’ll celebrate with you, too.”

Jesse Plemons is opening up about gaining weight for his role in 2015’s Black Mass — and why, he probably wouldn’t do it again.
Speaking with The Independent in an interview published on Saturday, February 22, Plemons, 36, spoke about putting on weight for role as former mobster Kevin Weeks in Black Mass, saying it “did mess [him] up a bit” afterward.
“I never imagined getting to play a part like that,” he told the outlet, explaining that gaining weight “was a decision I made at that age, given that opportunity for that director — and I was playing a real person. I don’t regret it.” He continued, “But it was very easy to put the weight on, and much more difficult taking it off.”
Plemons added, “I don’t know if it’s something I would do again — because it did mess me up a bit.” He also shared that his choice to gain weight for the role wound up having a prolonged effect on his acting career.
“I felt like that decision I made sort of dictated the types of parts I was being asked to play, and then started to seep into my own identity,” he said. “Which wasn’t necessarily who I was before that.”
Plemons has also lost weight for his acting roles. He revealed that his role in Civil War in 2024 encouraged him to make certain lifestyle changes, including intermittent fasting, which contributed to him losing weight, saying his casting in the film “snapped me out of it.”
“As well as having young kids,” Plemons said. “And I just got a handle on it again. Having lost the weight, aside from feeling better, it does feel like I’ve opened another door to potential parts I can play.” (Plemons shares sons Ennis, 6, and James, 3, with wife Kirsten Dunst.)

Plemons has previously opened up about losing weight, telling Entertainment Tonight in June last year that he shed 50 pounds “over the course of a year and a half or so.”
He added, “I have much more energy [now] and, like I’ve said, I’ve got young kids, so I got to keep up with them.”
Plemons had a brief cameo in Civil War as an ultranationalist militant. Last year, he told The Los Angeles Times that part of his decision to lose weight was both due to “getting older” but also for an upcoming film role.
He told the outlet in June 2024, “I hate even getting specific because then it turns into a whole thing, but there was a part that I did that in my mind I could not imagine him as the size that I was.”
Plemons also clapped back at assumptions that he was using Ozempic, a type 2 diabetes medication that has become popular for its efficacy in weight loss, to help him lose weight.
“It’s really unfortunate that I decided to get healthy when everyone decided to take Ozempic,” he said. “It doesn’t matter, everyone’s going to think I took Ozempic anyways.”
