Since welcoming their first baby together last week, there’s been a “noticeable change” between Megan Fox and her ex Machine Gun Kelly, a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. “The baby has brought them closer together,” the insider adds, noting that the parents are “obsessed” with their little girl. Months after she and Kelly, 34, split, Fox, 38, gave birth to their daughter on March 27. “Megan has noticed his energy is different, the look in his eyes is different, his aura has changed,” the source says. “She feels the baby is exactly what he needed, and she is hoping it sticks.” Read on for more exclusive updates and top stories:

Dan Palladino and Amy Sherman-Palladino don’t seem opposed to the idea of filming more Gilmore Girls— or working with Lauren Graham again.
At the Amy-Sherman Palladino Universe PaleyFest event on Saturday, March 29, Sherman-Palladino, 59, explained that she and her husband, 65, were happy with how they finished the series with 2016’s Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on Netflix.
“A Year in the Life meant we got to actually end it the way we wanted to end it,” she shared with Us Weekly. “So I feel very happy.”
While Palladino, 65, seemed to agree with his wife, he also couldn’t help hinting that there could be more Gilmore Girls in the future.
Gilmore Girls, which ran from 2000 to 2007, followed the lives of single mother Lorelai (Graham) and her academically gifted daughter Rory (Alexis Bledel) as they live in the small town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. (Sherman-Palladino and her husband weren’t part of season 7.)

While there aren’t any plans to renew Gilmore Girls quite yet, Sherman-Palladino hopes she gets the opportunity to work with Graham, 58, again in some capacity.
“She was working while we were doing Étoile, which is annoying,” Sherman-Palladino told Us, referring to her and Palladino’s new Prime Video series. “Again, I only want her working with me, but you never know. I definitely want to get back in Lauren’s face on a daily basis.”
Although they’d love to reconnect with Graham again, the couple did reunite with some of the actors they’ve previously worked with, including Yanic Truesdale and Kelly Bishop from Gilmore Girls and Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
“We just need the best of the best and we’ve been very lucky to work with the best, and they spoil us because we think everybody’s going to be like that and not everybody’s like that,” Sherman-Palladino told Us. “So we long to work with them again.”
Étoile, which also stars Charlotte Gainsbourg, Lou de Laâge, David Alvarez and Simon Callow, will follow the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies as they swap their most talented stars.
While the story is fictionalized, the producing partners later learned that something similar may have happened in real life.
“Someone told us there was an actual swap that we knew nothing about, and it might’ve made our job a lot easier if we had known about it at that time,” Sherman-Palladino explained. “Literally I would say, ‘Hey, kids, do your research! Save yourself some time.’ But we didn’t know! And it’s a great idea! So hopefully it worked.”
Étoile premieres on Prime Video Thursday, April 24.
The couple tied the knot in 2005, two years after they met on the set of 2003’s Gothika. Downey portrayed Dr. Pete Graham in the horror flick, while Susan served as a producer on the film. Susan even helped her husband score one of his biggest roles to date, Sherlock Holmes, by suggesting his casting to director Guy Ritchie.
“If Susan hadn’t been in the room, Robert probably wouldn’t have become Sherlock Holmes,” Ritchie told The Hollywood Reporter in October 2014. “She facilitated it, definitely.”
In addition to welcoming their two children, Exton and Avri, the couple have teamed up on a number of projects over the years through their production company, Team Downey, including The Judge, Dolittle and Sweet Tooth. (Robert also shares son Indio with ex-wife, Deborah Falconer, whom he was married to from 1992 to 2004.)

2003
Robert and Susan met on the set of the film Gothika, which also starred Halle Berry and Penélope Cruz. “Everybody else ordered Japanese, but Robert told us how oatmeal was the ‘superfood,’” Susan recalled of their early interactions in an October 2014 interview with The Hollywood Reporter. “He brought his own packets of oatmeal to have at lunch. And he had this box of various herbs and stuff. And then he started doing these yoga moves. I mean, he was interesting but weird.”
In October of that year, the duo made their red carpet debut at the premiere of Robert’s film The Singing Detective. They announced their engagement one month later.

Susan revealed that their romance helped Robert overcome his addiction battle. “[I said], ‘This isn’t gonna work.’ I made it clear that to stay with me, nothing could happen,” she told Harper’s Bazaar. “I think he saw what we had. There was something magical there, something we couldn’t put our finger on. He always says that we became this third thing when we got together — something that neither of us could have become by ourselves — and I think that’s true.” (Robert has been drug-free since 2003.)
January 2010
Robert gave his wife a hilarious shout-out while winning Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy for Sherlock Holmes at the 2010 Golden Globes. “First of all, I’d like to thank Susan Downey for telling me that Matt Damon was going to win, so don’t bother to prepare a speech,” he joked.
He added: “I really don’t want to thank my wife because I could be bussing tables at the Daily Grill if not for her. Jesus, what a gig that would be.”
Robert and Susan launched their production company, Team Downey, which has gone on to make documentaries such as 2022’s Sr., which followed the relationship between Robert and his late father. Robert Downey Sr., and shows such as Perry Mason.

We just enjoy a bit of whimsey and fun. And we definitely don’t like boring.”
November 2021
“Adjusting the halo on my heaven sent partner Mrs D … you are my everything, and November 6th, Always a day of gratitude, for your blessed birth,” Robert wrote via social media in honor of Susan’s birthday. “P.S. I will never watch ahead on a co-viewed streaming show … That is my eternal vow.”

Jenna Bush Hager is getting real about being a parent and raising children.
During a recent episode of the Today show, Bush Hager recalled a revelation she had a few years ago while celebrating Halloween with her family, which includes husband Henry Hager and their three children, Mila, 11, Poppy, 9, and Hal, 5.
“I had this really crazy realization maybe two years ago. We’d always had Halloween with our family and family friends,” Bush Hager, 43, explained, before her oldest daughter, Mila, hit her with a statement that initially took her by surprise.
“Mila, my daughter was like, ‘I want to go trick-or-treating with other people,’” Bush Hager recalled. “At first, I was like, ‘Wait — what? Like, how dare you.’”
But after taking a step back, Bush Hager faced a harsh truth, that a parent’s goal is to raise well-rounded, independent and confident children.
“I realized: I’m not going to be in all my kids’ memories … we should make our kids feel confident so they can go and be their own people,” Bush Hager shared.
And many fellow parents agreed in the comments.

“So hard, but so important!” one commenter wrote.
“Beautifully said,” shared another fan.
“Definitely needed to hear this today navigating the pre-teen years!” a fellow mom added.
In 2023, Bush Hager told People that her most important job of all the jobs she holds is being a mom.
“It goes so fast,” she said of making her time spent with her kids count. “I have a 10-year-old. It feels like she was born yesterday,” she said of Mila at the time.

“So I want every moment with them to be precious. And I want them to feel my presence not just to think that ‘Mommy’s home and she’s tired again.’”
And the love for her kids and for creating last memories with her kids while she still can was the inspiration behind her latest children’s book she wrote with her sister, Barbara Bush, titled I Loved You First.
Bush Hager told Hello! that she wants “[love] to be the last thing they hear before they go to bed, but also I want to cheer up and to feel that before I go to sleep.”
She added that she believes their book is a “sort of mediation on parental love” and “how much we love our kids.”
Access Hollywood coanchor Kit Hoover has filed for divorce from her husband of 25 years, Athlete Advantage CEO Crowley Sullivan.
According to documents obtained by Us Weekly on Friday, April 6, Hoover, 54, filed the paperwork on March 26 in a Los Angeles Superior Court, citing irreconcilable differences as a reason for the split.
She and Sullivan married in August 1999 but separated in May of last year, according to the documents. They share daughters Campbell, 22, and Hayes, 21, and son Crowley Jr. Crowley Jr., 18, is listed as a minor in the filing. Hoover is seeking joint legal and physical custody.
Hoover also indicated that she and her estranged husband have come to a separate support agreement.
Us Weekly confirmed in December that Hoover and Crowley had separated, with a source saying, “She’s been telling people she is single and getting divorced.”
People was first to report the news of their separation.
“How do you maintain that? I mean, it’s one thing to say it, but I know you really live it,” Hoover said. “Any nuggets you could share on that?”
Hurley explained that she sees her exes as family.
“I wouldn’t know how to not have them in my life, in a way, because it would really be like not talking to my brother again,” she said. “Or a family member. I do feel like they’re family and still have all those same feelings that you have for family. Where you can be frustrated and pissed off with them, of course you can. But you’d also be incredibly protective over them.”
Talk of a potential split between Hoover and Sullivan intensified last year when Hoover appeared to ditch her wedding ring. Though she posts frequently on Instagram, she also seemed to stop featuring her husband.
It’s a stark difference from the year before, when she posted a tribute to him on their 24th wedding anniversary.
“Holy Cow – We are 24 years old in this pic and NOW – Happy 24th anniversary Honeybun!!!” she wrote under the August 2023 post. “Thanks for loving this lunatic and for our beautiful family that is my EVERYTHING. I love you. #stillhavingfun #stilltheone #grateful #joyfulliving.”
While she didn’t post a similar tribute on their 25th anniversary last year, she has made sure to honor each of her kids along the way. On March 16, Crowley Jr.’s 18th birthday, she posted a slideshow of photos from his childhood.
“You’ve always been the ‘talk of the town,’” she wrote in the caption. “Happy Birthday sweets!!! I say it all the time, YOU are pure SUNSHINE. Keep shining bright. WE LOVE YOU!!!!!”

French girl ballet flats will never not be in, and Hollywood’s It Girls seemingly all agree.
The chic trend consists of wearing timeless wardrobe essentials that make you appear polished yet laid-back in one fell swoop. Of course, some of the best-dressed street style stars — think Kaia Gerber, Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner — have rocked the classic shoe, and we can’t help but notice the many different ways the wardrobe staple can look effortlessly elevated.
The charming style is versatile and ideal for the warmer weather. No matter what your personal aesthetic is, a black ballet flat will truly transform your everyday look in seconds.

Take Gerber, 23, for example. The supermodel was spotted on Thursday, April 3, in New York City in Repetto’s Cendrillon Ballerina Flats. She gave her bow-accented footwear a casual-meets-officecore touch by pairing them with Paloma Wool low-rise trousers, a navy blue crewneck sweatshirt, a playful Re/Done green cashmere scarf and an oversized chocolate-brown tote from Paloma Wool.

Jenner, 29, was also seen in the slip-on-and-go accessory on Friday, March 21, in Paris. The 818 Tequila founder appeared ready to take on the City of Light in a more preppy ensemble, which consisted of straight-leg denim jeans, a plaid coat from The Row’s Fall 2015 collection, plus the wool-cashmere Ophelia Sweater and the Marlo Large Leather Tote, also from the Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen-founded luxury label.

But the dancer-inspired shoe doesn’t have to be worn solely with slacks or denim. On Tuesday, March 11, in Paris, Hadid, 29, gave her Mansur Gavriel Glove Flats an edgier twist by opting for leather barrel bottoms.
The Guest in Residence mastermind complemented the sleek, high-waisted Loewe trousers with a basic white top and an Alexander Wang bomber jacket. She topped off the simple but statement-making getup with two Miu Miu accessories that blend form and fashion: a black belt and the Arcadie Matelassé Nappa Leather Bag.
Next time you’re in the middle of a spring cleaning session in your closet, don’t overlook those endlessly wearable ballet flats that you may have tucked away. Bring them back out and pair them with anything, from everyday jeans to an oh-la-lovely slip dress and beyond.
David and Victoria Beckham’s family has had its fair share of good times and low points.
The couple tied the knot in 1999, the same year they welcomed their first son, Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. David and Victoria later expanded their family with sons Romeo and Cruz and daughter Harper in 2002, 2005 and 2011, respectively. In 2022, David and Victoria’s family gained a daughter-in-law when Brooklyn tied the knot with Nicola Peltz Beckham.
While David and Victoria have appeared to have a picture-perfect relationship and family, they’ve navigated a series of ups and downs, including rumors of an affair and feuds among their brood.
Keep scrolling to take a look at the Beckham family’s drama over the years:
David Beckham’s Affair Rumors

In 2004, David and Victoria’s marriage hit a rough patch after rumors swirled that the former soccer player had an affair. His former assistant Rebecca Loos claimed that she and David hooked up during his marriage to the Spice Girls singer. David has denied the allegations multiple times over the years. Victoria later shared that navigating the drama was the “hardest period” of their relationship.
“Sometimes it felt like us against everybody else, but we were together, we were connected, we had each other. But when we were in Spain, it didn’t really feel like we had each other either. And that’s sad,” Victoria recalled in David’s 2024 Netflix documentary. “I can’t even begin to tell you how hard it was and how it affected me. It was an absolute circus — and everyone loves it when the circus comes to town, right? Unless you’re in it.”
David added that navigating the moment took an emotional toll on him and his family.
“I think we both felt at the time that we were not losing each other, but growing. I don’t know how we got through it, in all honesty,” he said in the doc. “Victoria is everything to me, to see her hurt was incredibly difficult, but we’re fighters. And at that time, we needed to fight for each other, we needed to fight for our family. And what we had was worth fighting for. But ultimately, it is our private life.”
Victoria Beckham and Nicola Peltz Beckham’s Alleged Rift

Before Nicola and Brooklyn wed, the actress and Victoria seemingly had a close bond. However, rumors later circulated that the women were at odds over an incident with Nicola’s wedding gown. Nicola originally planned on wearing a dress designed by her mother-in-law, but she ended up donning a Valentino gown instead for her 2022 nuptials.
In October 2022, Nicola denied there was ever a “feud” between her and Victoria.
“I think it all started, and I’ve said this before, because I didn’t end up wearing Victoria’s wedding dress,” Nicola said in an interview with The Times. “But the real truth is, I really, really wanted to wear it and I thought it was so beautiful that Brooklyn’s mom got to make that for me! And I was really excited to wear it! And I didn’t end up wearing it. Truthfully, I was really excited to wear her dress. It makes me sad when I read things that people say I was never planning on wearing it. That’s just not true.”
Brooklyn Peltz Beckham and Romeo Beckham’s Social Media Drama

The brothers sparked speculation of a feud after David posted a family photo of the group from his 50th birthday celebration. Romeo and Cruz were each joined by their respective girlfriends, Kim Turnbull and Jackie Apostel, while Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably absent from the event.
“So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early, such a special night in Miami,” David wrote via Instagram in March 2025. “So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with. Love you.”
Romeo reshared the photo on his social media page, captioning the post, “Family is everything. Love you all.”
While it is unknown whether Romeo’s message was meant to be a dig at his older brother, TMZ reported in April 2025 that the duo were not on speaking terms.
On April 1, Amazon Prime Video added a lot of new movies to its programming slate.
Thanks to Prime Video’s access to MGM’s movie library and films from other studios, Amazon offers film lovers a lot of options to choose from.
To help you find the films that are right for you, Watch with Us has selected three underrated Amazon Prime Video movies to watch this weekend.
The picks for the week include a horror film that quietly celebrated its 25th anniversary last year, a breathtaking racing drama with Christian Bale and Matt Damon and a very charming rom-com that has a touch of tragedy as well.
In Catholicism, stigmata is the phenomenon that occurs when devout believers experience the wounds that Jesus Christ suffered during the crucifixion. But in the film Stigmata, Frankie Paige (Patricia Arquette) is an atheist who doesn’t believe in God. Somehow, Frankie has not only been stricken with stigmata, but she also shows signs of possession as well.
Father Andrew Kiernan (Gabriel Byrne) is sent by the Vatican to investigate Frankie’s condition. What he discovers is something that threatens the very foundation of the church itself. Frankie’s life and her immortal soul hang in the balance as Father Andrew attempts to find a way to save her from both the evil spirits within and rogue agents of the church.
Director James Mangold (A Complete Unknown) took the bitter rivalry between Henry Ford II (Tracy Letts) and Enzo Ferrari (Remo Girone) and then made it the backdrop of his 2019 movie, Ford v Ferrari. Ford definitely wants to get payback for Ferrari’s slights, but he delegates the task to former race car driver turned automotive designer Carroll Shelby (Matt Damon).
To build a Ford capable of competing against Ferrari’s top racing models, Shelby turns to Ken Miles (Christian Bale), a race car driver whose talents on the track are almost equal to his ability to alienate everyone he meets. Miles’ arrogance makes him a hard guy to like, but he and Shelby form a bond as they undertake a project that will upend the international racing scene.
The X-Files’ David Duchovny stretches his acting muscles with the rom-com/drama Return to Me. Bob Rueland (Duchovny) is heartbroken over the death of his wife, Elizabeth (Joely Richardson). However, Elizabeth’s death saved the life of a waitress, Grace Briggs (Minnie Driver), who received Elizabeth’s heart in a transplant operation.
Over a year later, Bob and Grace meet by chance and feel a romantic spark between them. Neither of them is initially aware of the unexpected connection they share. But once Grace realizes that she has Elizabeth’s heart, it clouds any potential future that she and Bob might have together.
Williams played Jen Lindley on the WB series for three seasons before Philipps joined the cast as Joey Potter’s (Katie Holmes) college roommate, Audrey Liddell, during season 4. Their chemistry was instant, and more than 20 years later, the women are still a big part of each other’s lives.
Over the years, Philipps has accompanied her best friend on the red carpet and often gushes about how proud she is of the Oscar nominee.
“We met 20 years ago, which makes no sense because we’re still 27,” Philipps joked via Instagram in September 2020 while paying tribute to Williams on her 40th birthday. “I really wish I could be with my friend tonight celebrating how special and incredible and brilliant she is. And to tell her in person how I’m eternally grateful that we met all those years ago because there’s no one I’d rather weather all the storms with and celebrate all the wonderful things with and cry and cry and laugh and laugh and drink and not drink with.”
The Cougar Town alum added: “I can’t wait to be old someday with my friend and go to farmers markets in the countryside with [Michelle] — my long grey hair parted in the middle and pulled tightly back in a bun and she in some giant sun hat, protecting her still perfect porcelain skin.”
Scroll to see the friends’ cutest friendship moments over the years:
It was fitting that Philipps joined Williams at the March 2025 New York City premiere of her show Dying for Sex, as the series follows the close friendship between two women as one suffers from a terminal cancer diagnosis.
Philipps complemented her bestie’s pale purple gown in a little black dress, sheer opera gloves and matching black tights.
Philipps said she and Williams “lost it” when Britney Spears asked the latter to narrate her October 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me. “She was like, ‘I have to do this, right?’ And I was like, ‘Yes, obviously,’” Philipps shared during a January 2024 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.
She continued, “[Michelle] really felt a connection. We all came up in a very particular time in this industry. … We were subjected to a lot, and I think there was a lot that was, sadly, very relatable to all women in Britney’s book. But I thought that Michelle doing it was just incredible and really beautiful. Britney deserves that respect.”
"It's the first time that I'm not there with my best friend when she's nominated, but I'm here in New York and I'm trying to figure out how to watch it," Philipps said via her Instagram Story in March 2023.
She called her pal's red carpet look "flawless" during the pre-show and ultimately watched Williams lose the Best Actress trophy to Michelle Yeoh. Philipps said she'll be with Williams when she finally wins an Oscar. The actress was nominated for the fifth time for The Fabelmans.
"Listen, when Michelle's sixth nomination [happens], it's gonna be the one. I'm gonna be with her. She's gonna win," Philipps shared with her Instagram followers.
Philipps shared a photo alongside her BFF while celebrating Kail for his work on the "spectacular" 2023 Broadway production of Sweeney Todd. "I couldn't post the weird blurry picture Michelle and I took together last night after @sweeneytoddbway so instead, please enjoy this 🔥 pic @myleshendrik took of us at the Critics Choice Awards!" she joked in the March 2023 Instagram caption.
Philipps congratulated her Dawson’s Creek costar on scoring a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her role in The Fabelmans. “BRB- I’m just gonna go back in time and tell this kid that she’s going to have 5 OSCAR NOMINATIONS in the next 20 years. 😭 And a BEAUTIFUL family. And be surrounded by love. (And GORGEOUS CLOTHES),” the Freaks and Geeks alum wrote via Instagram alongside a throwback snap of Williams. “But tbh- that’s probably along the lines of what I was saying to her then. I love you MW.” She continued, “Proud of you forever for building the life and career you dreamed of, even though the absolute overwhelming grief of being human had you wondering if you could at times. But then you would dig deep and try again. It’s one of my favorite things about you. You have never NEVER stopped trying. A new way, a new recipe, a new parenting style, a new author, a new approach to work, a new love, a new role…but always the same loving brilliant gentle sensitive funny wild thoughtful beautiful beautiful BEAUTIFUL you. ❤️🌟.”
Philipps was by Williams' side at the Gotham Awards in November 2022, watching as the Fabelmans star paid tribute to their former costar Mary Beth Peil in her speech.
“My bff was honored at the Gotham Awards last night with the Artist Tribute and I was so honored, as always, to be her date. Paul Dano (now officially one of my favorite people) gave such a thoughtful and beautiful speech to Michelle about her work as an artist and a person and a mother and obviously I cried,” Philipps wrote via Instagram at the time. “And Michelle, in true Michelle form, took the opportunity of being honored to pay tribute and honor the great Mary Beth Peil (aka Gramz from Dawsons Creek) and to talk about how working with Mary Beth changed Michelle’s life and career. 😭❤️ Anyway, it was really beautiful and I wish Mary Beth had been there with us (she was supposed to be but she didn’t feel well ☹️).”
In May 2021, three years after the duo shared the screen in I Feel Pretty, Philipps joked that there was one thing that could get her to team up with Williams again in the future.
"It fell into place because my then-husband [Marc Silverstein] was directing it," she told Us exclusively before joking that Williams' husband, Thomas Kail, could take on their next project. "Tommy's a director too, maybe we can get him to direct something for the two of us."
The Freaks and Geeks alum exclusively told Us in May 2021 how her relationship with the Blue Valentine star shifted amid the coronavirus pandemic. “It has been a little bit tricky because while we’re sort of so much closer in some way, we haven’t been able to, like, really cuddle and spend as much time together as we would love,” Philipps said, noting she moved from L.A. to New York amid COVID-19 to film Girls5Eva, which put her in the same city as Williams.
The duo were able to see one another toward the end of 2020 after social distancing apart for a little bit. “Both of our families quarantined and then ended up spending some time over the holiday break together. And that was, like, really, really wonderful,” Philipps explained. “And I am so thrilled to be close to her now.”
“Post any awards show, which of course everybody was like, ‘Oh, we love seeing you at the award shows together.’ We always end up back at her hotel room, you know, because she doesn't live in Los Angeles, and we just get undone together,” Philipps exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2021, referencing her awards season ritual with Williams. “We're just, like, taking out extensions, taking off eyelashes, washing our faces, putting on sweats, putting on cozy outfits,” she said. “And then we go eat at Jon & Vinny's or go get food. [We are] a little bit like old lady glamour, without the cigarettes, because we don’t smoke.”

“I wanted to play one of the exploding drummers in the new Spinal Tap, basically, but I didn’t have [director Rob Reiner’s] number,” Bacon, 66, revealed during the Friday, April 4 edition of The View.
Bacon has history with the Spinal Tap II: The End Continues filmmaker, as Reiner directed him in the Oscar-nominated 1992 legal drama A Few Good Men. The pair’s previous working relationship led Bacon to think he could play the next in a long-line of doomed Spinal Tap drummers.
During Bacon’s appearance on The View, Bacon confirmed that he wasn’t able to convince Reiner to let him join Spinal Tap for their upcoming movie.
“Somebody called him for me, and I didn’t get the part,” he confirmed. “Spinal Tap, I’m so excited about part two, and the original it was a running joke that they just had drummers that would disappear.”
The View cohosts Ana Navarro and Sunny Hostin humorously encouraged Bacon to never give up on his dream of joining the comedy rock group.
“Yeah, [I could be in] part three,” Bacon declared.
One of the recurring gags in 1984 mockumentary revolved around the rockers — played by Christopher Guest, Michael McKean and Harry Shearer — frequently auditioning new drummers because their predecessors all disappeared under unusual circumstances.
Ed Begley Jr. portrayed Spinal Tap’s original drummer John “Stumpy” Pepys, though the character only briefly appears in the movie because of his death in a mysterious gardening accident. Stumpy’s death set off a chain reaction where later drummers suffered a variety of odd deaths, including band members spontaneously combusting, falling into a shark tank or being eaten by a snake.
Given the deadly reputation of the job, it’s no surprise Fleetwood Mac’s Mick Fleetwood once jokingly auditioned for Spinal Tap while wearing a fire-proof suit.
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues reunites Reiner with Guest, McKean and Shearer 41 years after the release of their comedy classic. Reiner reprises his role as opportunistic documentarian Marty Di Bergi, while Guest, McKean and Shearer are back as Tap members Nigel Tufnel, David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls, respectively.
This time around, Spinal Tap are reuniting for one final concert with the help of music industry titans such as Elton John, Garth Brooks and Questlove. Fans can also expect callbacks to memorable characters from the original, as Fran Drescher and Paul Shaffer are returning as Spinal Tap’s publicist Bobbi Flekman and the inept promoter Artie Fufkin.
The 1984 Reiner-directed rockumentary provided early exposure for several notable stars, as Billy Crystal, Dana Carvey and Anjelica Huston all made cameo appearances.
This Is Spinal Tap gained cult classic status following its release and was selected by the Library of Congress to join the National Film Registry in 2002. The movie also ranked 29th on the American Film Institute’s AFI’s 100 Years…100 Laughs list in 2000.
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues will hit cinemas on September 12.

As The Real Housewives of Atlanta viewers prepare to find out what led to Kenya’s exit from season 16, Cynthia, 58, is shining a light on her reaction to all of the drama.
“I know Kenya. I just held her to a standard that I hold for my friends and I just felt like it was not good for Kenya,” Cynthia exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, April 3. “I just felt like she was bigger. I felt the way she responded was beneath her.”
Based on a preview of the Sunday, April 6, episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, viewers will learn more about the drama surrounding Kenya, 54, and costar Brittany Eady.
In June 2024, Us confirmed Kenya abruptly exited the series due to an alleged explicit photo scandal. “My heart is full and my conscience is clean,” Kenya shared via Instagram after her exit was confirmed. “So many false claims hiding behind anonymous sources.”
During a separate interview with Us in November 2024, Kenya cryptically shared that “the truth always comes to light, and I’m always right.”

From Cynthia’s perspective, she’s disappointed that the drama took the focus off of an event dedicated to the Kenya Moore Haircare Spa.
“I know how hard she’s been working on that and this is a lifelong dream of hers,” she explained to Us. “It’s just really unfortunate that it was overshadowed by the events that took place.”
Although Cynthia said she has not spoken to Kenya “since everything happened,” the “Humble Brag” podcast host is ready to talk when her friend is ready.

“At the end of the day, I have a real friendship with Kenya, and she knows that when she’s ready to talk, I am here,” Cynthia said. “I will be happy to pick up where we left off.”
As the season continues to play out Sunday nights on Bravo, Cynthia still wishes Kenya could have been part of more events with the cast that includes Porsha Williams, Drew Sidora, Kelli Ferrell, Shamea Morton and Angela Oakley.
“I know that losing Kenya didn’t help us at all,” Cynthia explained. “We were literally the dream team. Bravo spent a lot of time curating their vision for season 16 with exactly the cast that started this whole season 16 journey together, and it’s just really unfortunate that the fans don’t get to see it play out with that official cast that they put together.”
Cynthia is hopeful fans will keep watching as Married to Medicine alum Phaedra Parks joins the cast later on in the season. (Viewers will also be able to watch Cynthia on a new reality show titled Got to Get Out later this month on Hulu.)
“If there’s one word that describes the season, it’s unpredictable because we never thought we would lose Kenya,” Cynthia said. “We never saw Phaedra coming. So at the end of the day, we’re going to get past everything that happened and you guys are in for a treat.”
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs on Bravo Sundays at 8 p.m. ET with old episodes streaming on Peacock. Got to Get Out premieres on Hulu Friday, April 11.
