Ryan Lochte is appreciative of the support he’s received following his split from wife Kayla Rae Reid.
“Just want to say thank you to everyone who wrote a message, reached out to me, just open arms. It means a lot to me,” the Olympian, 40, said in a video shared via his Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5. “Yesterday was a rough day for me, but like always in life, you gotta put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward. So that’s what I’m doing.”
Lochte also thanked loved ones who sent him a thoughtful gift amid the tough time.
“To my second family that sent me this beautiful card and a basket full of candy that now my son is eating,” Lochte shared while holding up a nearly empty carton of Whoppers. “Thank you guys, I love you guys.”
Earlier this week, Reid, 33, announced that she filed for divorce from Lochte after seven years of marriage.
“Earlier this year, I made the hard decision to end my marriage after deep prayer and reflection,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, June 4. “I hold marriage in the highest regard, so this has been one of the most painful, revealing and challenging seasons of my life. I’ve been hesitant to share until I could do so from a place of healing — not from fresh, open wounds.”

Reid continued: “Sometimes we face trials we didn’t choose or see coming. And in those moments, we’re forced to make the hardest decisions to protect our peace, our children and our future. I’ve come to understand that staying isn’t always the most loving decision someone can make. For me, leaving was an act of love — for those around me and myself.”
Lochte and Reid tied the knot in 2018. The pair share three children: Caiden, 7, Liv, 5, and Georgia, 23 months.
Following Reid’s post, Lochte broke his silence on their separation.
“This past year has brought major changes for both of us as we’ve come to the difficult decision to end our marriage. I’m deeply grateful for the life we’ve built together and especially for the love we share for our three children,” he wrote in an Instagram statement. “Although this decision hasn’t been easy, I believe it’s the right step toward peace and well-being for us both.”
Lochte added that he is “committed to healing, growth and coparenting with care and respect” as he and Reid navigate their “new chapter.”
Addison Rae is an advocate for dancing in your underwear.
Rae, 24, left little to the imagination while performing at a Spotify release party, for her debut album, Addison, held at The Box in New York City on Thursday, June 5. As she got on stage, Rae put on a sexy show in a nude push-up bra featuring satin cups and barely-there straps.
She teamed the lingerie with itty-bitty panties that exposed her cheeks and were also designed with the same fabric. Rae drew just the right amount of attention to her legs by wearing shimmery fishnet tights and black patent leather pumps.
For glam, she opted for sultry eye makeup, including smokey eyeshadow and long lashes. She overline her pout and donned pink lips. The TikTok star’s honey blonde tresses were parted to the side and styled in messy waves, which she flipped around on stage.
Elsewhere during the show, Rae changed into a long-sleeve crop top complete with a knot detail on her chest. She teamed the Y2K look with low-waisted micro shorts equipped with red floral pockets. She made the look even more girly with a white feathered boa, which she wrapped around her microphone stand.

Rae also rocked a sheer dress during her concert, finished with long, flowing sleeves, a plunging neckline, a cutout over her chest and a pleated skirt.
Following her show, Rae took to Instagram on Friday, June 6, to share pics from her routine.
“First show. Glamour. Love. Connection. Beauty. Freedom,” the “Diet Pepsi” singer captioned the pics. “These people make my life heaven on earth. .”
Rae previously gave fans a peek at her underwear in May while sharing a behind-the-scenes clip of her rehearsing in nothing but a black lace bra. She hilariously tackled her backup dancers before getting back in formation and continuing her routine.
“I’m going to throw one in the ring for someone I just talked to recently who said that she would love to do it. That’s Joan [Vassos],” Graziadei, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly at Disney’s House of Mouse event in Los Angeles on Thursday, June 5. “I think that she had a year where she put herself out there a ton, and I would love to see her do it.”
Golden Bachelorette star Vassos, 62, previously attended a DWTS live taping to cheer on Graziadei and former Bachelorette Jenn Tran as they competed on season 33. “Loved getting to cheer on my bachelor family, could not be more proud for @jenntran and @joeygraziadei ,” she captioned Instagram pics from the episode in October 2024. “And loved getting to say hi to some new friends I’ve been so lucky to meet because of this golden journey .”
That same month, Vassos told Decider that she would “want to try” her hand at learning ballroom dance on the show. “I really hate saying no to things now. I feel like doing things that scare you at this age in my life is so important otherwise you never grow,” she shared. “So I think I would say yes. But I don’t know if it’ll be offered to me.”
When it comes to the guys of Bachelor Nation, Graziadei told Us he’d love to see one of Katie Thurston’s former Bachelorette contestants join the DWTS family. “Greg Grippo,” he noted. “He’s got some moves, so maybe Greg would be a good one out there because he can shake it a little bit. I feel like he’d do well.”
Grippo, 32, placed as Thurston’s second runner-up on season 17 of The Bachelorette in 2021. Though he didn’t end the ABC reality series engaged, he later found love with former Bachelor contestant Victoria Fuller. The pair dated for nearly two years before they confirmed their split in April 2024.

Grippo’s social media presence has made him a fan favorite among Bachelor Nation fans, as he often posts funny videos of himself and pals Andrew Spencer and Justin Glaze, both of whom also competed on Thurston’s Bachelorette season.
So far, ABC has announced that Robert Irwin and Alix Earlewill compete on DWTS when it returns this fall. “I’m so excited for both of them,” Graziadei told Us of the casting choices. “I feel like they had a lot of buzz coming off our season, and to get two big names like this right away, I think they’re running with it. They’re announcing it early, and I’m so excited for the show.”
While Graziadei said he “can’t wait” to cheer on the show’s new batch of contestants, he admitted he will also be feeling some FOMO. “I’ll probably be a little jealous too if I’m being honest,” he shared. “It’s going to be hard to see them have so much fun because I’m going to miss it, but I’m really going to be excited for them.”
Last year, Graziadei made DWTS history by becoming the first former Bachelor lead to win the competition with his partner, Jenna Johnson. He joined the likes of fellow Bachelor Nation DWTS champions Melissa Rycroft, Hannah Brown and Kaitlyn Bristowe.

Until DWTS returns later this year, Graziadei is enjoying spending time with his fiancée, Kelsey Anderson. The pair hung out with DWTS pros Alan Bersten and Emma Slater at Thursday’s House of Mouse event, which celebrated Disneyland’s 70th anniversary.
“We just were at Disneyland recently, and I love Disney-themed things in general,” Graziadei stated. “The Mickey and Friends … it seems like a good vibe, and I’m just excited to be here. I’m sporting my Goofy shirt tonight. He’s my favorite Disney character, so I’m always excited to be here. It is going to be a fun date night.”
Dancing With the Stars returns for season 34 this fall on ABC and Disney+.
Nicky Hilton wants all new mothers to know that, no matter how they feed their babies, they’re supported.
The entrepreneur, 41, has teamed up with Nara Organics in support of The 2am Club, a social campaign which aims to share insight into the pressures placed on mothers during their feeding journeys and the urgent need for maternal mental health advocacy.
To announce the partnership, Hilton shared a personal photo of herself breastfeeding one of her three children via Instagram on Friday, June 6.
“Each person’s feeding journey is unique, and I’m excited to support @Narababy as an investor,” she wrote alongside the photo, in which she looks at the camera as her newborn nurses. “Their innovative baby formula, launching this spring, is something I’m truly proud to be a part of. Share your feeding confession at 2amclub.com.”
Spearheaded by celebrity moms Hilton, Karla Souza, Jordan Foster and Katie Lee, “The 2 AM Club invites all parents to share raw, unfiltered ‘feeding confessions’ through voice notes, short written stories, and photos, offering an honest look at what feeding really feels like,” a press release shared with Us Weekly read. “The goal is to normalize the hard, the beautiful, and everything in between, especially during those isolating, sleep-deprived hours when self-doubt creeps in.”
Hilton shares daughters Teddy, 7, and Lily-Grace, 8, and son Chasen, 2, with her husband, James Rothschild. In her post, she shared that she breastfed all three of her children, but not without challenges.
“While I enjoyed the moments of bonding, the latching was often painful,” she shared via Instagram. “I didn’t find breastfeeding as effortlessly as I’d hoped. Plus there was so much pressure to keep going because it’s what society tells us we should do. The expectations placed on mothers can be overwhelming. We’re just trying our best, and feeding our children — whether through breastfeeding or bottle-feeding shouldn’t come with guilt or judgment. You have to listen to your body and do what feels right.”

Other moms shared their photos and stories as well, with Souza, 39, tandem nursing two of her three babies in a photo shared by The 2am Club and Lee, 43, noting that “breastfeeding worked really well” for her and daughter Iris, now 4.
Foster, 39, also posted a photo from her feeding journey via Instagram Stories on Friday and wrote, “I’m grateful to have this community for round 3. As hard as newborn things are, it’s the feeding I’m most nervous for every time.”
Jordan, the style director of Favorite Daughter and sister of Erin and Sara Foster, added that she’s most jealous of “those that breastfeed without difficulty.”
“With my third baby, I plan to introduce formula much earlier and feel relieved that I will do so without any guilt,” Jordan, who’s expecting her third child, shared.
What’s more fun than Lacey Chabert in a Hallmark Halloween movie? The actress teaming up with Halloweentown icon Kimberly J. Brown!
Hallmark announced on Friday, June 6, that Chabert’s hit Christmas franchiseHaul Out the Holly is getting a Halloween makeover with an all-new feature, Haul Out the Halloween. The movie will premiere later this fall and feature two Halloween-obsessed neighbors on Evergreen Lane: Brown, 40, and her real-life husband, Daniel Kountz.
“Wow these new neighbors must really love Halloween,” Chabert, who plays Emily in the two Haul Out the Holly films, teased via an Instagram video on Friday.
Chabert, 42, was joined by her Evergreen Lane neighbors — all of whom take Christmas and decorating for the season very seriously — as they checked out the Halloween décor on the new resident’s porch.
“Yeah, but someone needs to tell them we’re not exactly a Halloween town,” Wes Brown, who plays Jared, cheekily replied, referring to the witch hats, bat doormat and more nods to the spooky season — not to mention, Kimberly’s past as teen witch Marnie on Disney Channel’s Halloweentown.
Ellen Travolta, who plays Mary Louise, noted, “Yeah, we could be. Think of all the possibilities.” Melissa Peterman, who portrays Pamela, then went down the rabbit hole and envisioned “so many uses” for her glue gun.

“We better knock on their door or it’s going to be time for Christmas,” Peterman, 53, joked, before they approach the house.
The whole group, which also includes Stephen Toblowsky as Ned, yelled, “Trick or treat!” as the door swung open and revealed that Kimberly and Kountz, who is also part of the Halloweentown franchise, greet their neighbors.
“Our new neighbors on Evergreen Lane are really into Halloween #iykyk,” Chabert playfully captioned the Instagram video. “Haul Out the Halloween coming to Hallmark Channel this fall! What a dream to return to Evergreen Lane!”
Kimberly, who is a longtime friend of Chabert, gained fame in 1998 when she starred alongside the late Debbie Reynolds in the original Halloweentown. She reprised the role in 2001’s Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge and 2004’s Halloweentown High.
Kimberly eventually met Kountz on the set of Halloweentown II: Kalabar’s Revenge, where he played Kal. The pair tied the knot in April 2024 and have continued to appear at Halloween festivals far and wide.

Chabert, meanwhile, has been a staple on Hallmark since 2010. She made her debut as new neighbor Emily in 2022’s Haul Out the Holly where she learned quickly how invested in the holiday season her fellow courtyard residents were. Emily also fell in love with the rule-following Jared during the first movie, before they both reprised their roles in 2023’s Haul Out the Holly: Lit Up.
Now, the Christmas fanatics will try their hand at Halloween decorations with a nudge from Kimberly and Kountz’s new characters.
“Kimberly and Daniel have been dear friends for many years. When we started on this third movie, set during Halloween, I just knew that they would be the perfect addition to this hilariously funny cast,” Chabert said in a press release on Friday. “I loved making this movie with friends — who so many people grew up sharing this holiday with. It’s a dream come true.”
Vice president of programming at Hallmark Media Jessica Callahan also teased the fun that fans can expect this fall. “Autumn and Halloween themed movies continue to resonate with Hallmark viewers each year, who tune in for the fun and coziness of the season,” she explained in a statement. “In Haul Out the Halloween, the residents of Evergreen Lane take their over-the-top celebrations to a new level, as only they can.”
While Summer House has welcomed some of Bravo’s most memorable reality stars into the reality TV world, there were also some one-season wonders who said goodbye to The Hamptons as quickly as they came.
Lexi Wood, for one, made her debut during season 9 in 2025. After a brief fling with Jesse Solomon — and some drama with Ciara Miller — the model said goodbye to Summer House.
“Well … that wasn’t the summer I signed up for but it definitely taught me a lot,” Lexi wrote in a June 2025 Instagram Story post. “I stood up for women and for what’s right, even when it wasn’t easy and I’d do that again in a heartbeat. I’m leaving Summer House with no regrets (well … maybe one.)”
While Lexi made a statement to announce her exit from the show, some stars left Summer House quietly after their one lone season.
Keep scrolling to see which stars only appeared on Summer House for one year — and what they’re doing now:
Lexi Wood
The model teased what’s next in her career after announcing her exit.
“I’m proud of the way I handled myself, proud of what I walked away from and even prouder of what I’m walking toward,” her social media statement read. “Big things are coming! Stay tuned!”
Sam Feher
The bubbly Sam was a main cast member in season 7, which aired in 2023. She kicked off a romance with Winter House star Kory Keefer and returned for season 8 as a guest star.
Since leaving Summer House, Sam started a podcast called “CAPS LOCK” and kicked off a relationship with William Hayden.
Chris Leoni
Chris made his debut alongside Sam in season 7 but only lasted one season as a main cast member. He’s currently working as a writer and director under his production company, Leoni Pictures.
Alex Wach
Alex made an appearance on season 6 of Summer House in 2022 but was slowly edited out of episodes — as noticed by some eagle-eyed fans — and subtly addressed it with a social media post. He didn’t return after that summer but is currently living his life as a fitness influencer.
Following her stint as a main cast member on season 4, Jules left the show. She had a brief fling with Southern Charm star Craig Conover but currently lives in Jordan.
Cristina Gibson
Cristina was one of the original Summer House stars, appearing in the show’s first season which aired in 2017. After her one season on the show, Cristina went on to continue her writing career. She confirmed in January 2021 that she works as a copywriter and lives in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Jaclyn Shuman
Another original cast member, Jaclyn decided to leave the show after the first season. She went on to continue working as a Fit Model and natural foods chef.
Former Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark is not a fan of the team signing quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and he’s letting everyone know it.
Clark, 45, is now an ESPN football analyst and he appeared on SportsCenter on Thursday, June 5, to lay into his team for pinning its hopes on the 41-year-old QB.
“This is the worst-case scenario for Pittsburgh Steelers fans,” he said. “It continues to keep you mired in mediocrity.”
He explained that the Steelers aren’t just one productive quarterback away from winning a Super Bowl, so adding Rodgers is only going to make the team just good enough to sneak into the playoffs.
“Will this team be better? Have they gotten better in the quarterback room? Absolutely,” Clark continued. “Will they contend for that championship that Pittsburgh Steelers people and fans and organization think is the standard? No, they won’t. They will be fighting for a wild card spot. They’ll probably be home Week 1 of the playoffs and again be looking for a franchise quarterback.”
Had the Steelers not signed Rodgers and went with a more inexperienced quarterback, they likely would have finished with a poorer record and garnered a higher pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Now, Clark feels the team may be in the exact same position next year.
While Clark is hardly alone in his criticism of the aging quarterback, the former safety has made it clear in the past that he is not Rodgers’ biggest fan. After Rodgers criticized how the media covers the NFL in December 2024, Clark fired back by calling him a “fraud.”
“This dude is once again tone-deaf,” Clark said at the time. “This dude is once again unaware. This dude is once again arrogant to a point that’s almost sickening because he says these things, and he talks tough, and he behaves in his way, but he ain’t.”
“This dude is a fraud,” he added. “He’s been a fraud. He can throw a football and that’s where it stops. Once that talent ends … so does he. And to sit up there, man, and to be just blatantly hypocritical is funny and sickening at the same time.”
In April, Clark criticized the Steelers for what he claimed was letting Rodgers essentially hold the franchise hostage by taking too much time to choose his next destination.
“What has Aaron Rodgers done in the last two years or since leaving Green Bay that says he should be afforded this type of time that says that you should give them a sort of respect that keeps your franchise at bay?” Clark asked.
Rodgers’ deal with Pittsburgh is for one year and worth a base salary of around $10 million with incentives, according to NFL insider Ian Rappaport.
“I look forward to spending the summer in the Hamptons with my friends,” Carl, 40, told Us Weekly in a statement on Friday, June 6. “I will very much be a part of season 10!”
Carl’s official announcement came after a fake goodbye claiming to be written by him circulated on Facebook on Friday.
The fake message, reposted by fan account Bravoandcocktails, read in part: “After much thought and reflection, I’ve decided not to return to Summer House for the upcoming season. This show has been a huge part of my life for the past nine years, and I am incredibly grateful for the experiences, the growth, and the relationships it’s brought into my world. Sharing my life so publicly hasn’t always been easy, but I’ve learned a lot about myself — and I hope I’ve helped others along the way too.”
Throughout his time on the Bravo series, Carl has romanced several castmates including Lauren Wirkus during season 1. He had an instant connection with Paige DeSorbo when she joined the cast during season 3, but their whirlwind flirtation didn’t last long.
Carl attempted to date Lindsay, 38, during season 4 after being close friends with her for years, but it was short-lived. The pair gave their relationship a second shot in fall 2021 after getting cozy at Kyle and Amanda Batula’s September 2021 wedding. (Amanda officially joined the show during season 2 after making cameos in the first season.)
Carl proposed to Lindsay in August 2022, which was captured by the Summer House cameras, but they never made it down the aisle. Carl called off their engagement in August 2023, just months before they were set to say, “I do.”
Season 9, which filmed during summer 2024, captured the exes’ first summer back in the Hamptons together since their breakup. Lindsay was also pregnant all season, which helped Carl get “closure.” (Lindsay welcomed her daughter, Gemma, in December 2024 with then-boyfriend Turner Kufe.)
After getting their awkward reunion out of the way during season 9, episode 2, Carl sparked a brief romance with a woman named Lil and also told housemate Ciara Miller he had a “crush” on her. But, ultimately, he left the summer single.
“This past summer, I was just enjoying her friendship and having fun. Of course, she’s beautiful, you know that,” Carl exclusively told Us Weekly in April of his connection with Ciara, 29. “I couldn’t help myself but express [that] in a fun way.”
Carl noted it was a little “cringey” to tell her that during a themed party, but he doesn’t regret it. “I had to let her know. I was just like, ‘I think you’re awesome. I really appreciate you. I do have a crush,’” he recalled. “I knew she was going to be like, ‘OK.’”
While fans have grown fond of the core Summer House cast, season 10 is shaping up to be a very different show. Paige, 32, announced on Thursday, June 5, that she is exiting the series after seven years, shocking some fans.
“You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers,” she wrote via social media. “I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
Season 9 newbie Lexi Wood also confirmed her departure, sharing via Instagram on Friday that while it “wasn’t the summer [she] signed up for” it “taught” her a lot. (Lexi, 27, and Jesse Solomon had a messy summer romance, which ended with a thud.)
Lindsay, meanwhile, revealed that she will be back for season 10 in some capacity after becoming a mother last year. “I’ll be out there. I don’t know if I’ll be living at the house every weekend,” she said during the Summer House reunion on Wednesday, June 4. “I have a small baby at home.”
DeSorbo, 32, shocked the world when she announced her departure from Summer House after seven seasons.
“Being a part of this show has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my life — the friendships, the drama, the giggles, all unforgettable,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Thursday, June 5. “You’ve seen me grow up over these last seven summers. I’ll always be beyond grateful for the memories, the community, and the opportunities this wild ride has brought me. But like all good things (and some bad decisions), it’s time for this chapter to close.”
While some may only know DeSorbo for her time on Summer House and her relationship with exCraig Conover, fans know that she has a lot more up her sleeve. DeSorbo cohosts the “Giggly Squad” podcast with pal Hannah Berner. (Berner, 33, also appeared on Summer House from seasons 3 to 5.)
The duo launched their podcast in 2020 and it has taken off since. Last year, DeSorbo and Berner took their show across the country for their live show called “Giggly Squad Live: Club Giggly.”
DeSorbo and Berner didn’t stop there. Earlier this year, the pair published their first book, How to Giggle: A Guide to Taking Life Less Seriously. They also launched a web series titled Hannah & Paige Try New Things last month.
“Everything I’ve done in my career thus far — none of it did I think was going to happen,” DeSorbo said of her achievements in an interview with InStyle earlier this month. “I wasn’t seven, being like, ‘One day I’ll have a podcast.’ That wasn’t a thing. I didn’t think, ‘Oh, I want to be on the radio, writing a book, being on a reality TV show.’”
In addition to building her media empire, DeSorbo has ventured into the clothing brand world. The reality star has a sleepwear brand named Daphne in the works. Daphne is scheduled to drop on Tuesday, June 10.
When it comes to her brand, DeSorbo explained that she has a full hands-on-deck approach.
“Well, it’s my idea. I want to be fully involved in every single thing,” she explained to the outlet. “I haven’t missed a meeting. I’m in all the text threads. I’m the final decision-maker.”
DeSorbo isn’t stopping there. On top of her podcast and pajama line, she’s also an influencer. On her social media, DeSorbo has created fashion, beauty and lifestyle content. She’s partnered with brands like TRESemmé, Amazon and more.

Are you ready to party this summer? Here at Watch With Us, there’s no party quite like a movie party. That’s why we’re recommending a trio of films that are guaranteed to entertain — and maybe bring the house down.
Those craving for a metaphysical comedy involving killer robots and Death — yes, Death — should check out Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey.
We also selected a con artist comedy starring a sci-fi icon and a Party of Five actress and a neglected adaptation of one of the most famous cartoons of the 1980s. None of these films are Oscar-winners, but they will win you over. All you need is an Amazon Prime Video subscription and a few hours of spare time to enjoy them.
‘Bill and Ted’s Bogus Journey’ (1991)
Sometimes, sequels are better than the original, and that’s the case with Bill & Ted’s Bogus Journey. The 1991 follow-up to the massively successful Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure finds the titular duo getting ready to compete in a Battle of the Bands contest with a $25,000 grand prize — enough to pay for both of their upcoming nuptials. But when their evil robot duplicates from the future (don’t ask) kill them and take their place, Bill (Alex Winter) and Ted (Keanu Reeves) have to escape from the afterlife to save their girlfriends — and the world — from doom.
It’s a silly plot but a fun one, and it all pays off when the duo partner with Death (William Sadler) to save the day. The Grim Reaper turns out to be a hilarious straight man to Bill and Ted’s antics, and Sadler’s deadpan performance steals the entire movie. A threequel, Bill & Ted Face the Music, was released in 2020, but it’s not as fun as the first two.
Max and Page (Sigourney Weaver and Jennifer Love Hewitt) are a mother-daughter con artist duo looking to pull off one last hustle before they go their separate ways. They find their next target in William Tensy (Gene Hackman), a wealthy tobacco owner who is on death’s door. When William dies before Max can marry him and inherit his wealth, the two women fear they could be implicated and run. But even if Max and Page can outrun the cops, they can’t escape their past forever, especially when one of Max’s past victims, Dean (Ray Liotta), wants revenge.
Heartbreaks is a light-hearted comedic farce that has a lot of serious actors like Weaver, Hackman, Liotta and Anne Bancroft doing very silly things. While it’s not quite as smart and fun as similar movies like Ocean’s Eleven and Now You See Me, Heartbreakers is nonetheless an entertaining con comedy about two women who use what they’ve got to get what they want.
Before the MCU, Harry Potter and the Lord of the Rings, fantasy films were looked down upon by critics and even some audiences. Masters of the Universe, a live-action adaptation of the popular He-Man cartoon in the 1980s, received the cold shoulder from both in 1987, but seen today, its sincerity, cheap-looking special effects and gung-ho spirit are a welcome respite from the cynical money grabs that dominate the genre today.
When two California teens, Julie (Courteney Cox) and Kevin (Robert Duncan McNeill), find a weird device one night, they think it’s a Japanese keyboard. But they soon find out it’s actually an interdimensional key that opens a portal to Eternia, where the warlord Skeletor (Frank Langella) has taken over Castle Grayskull. He wants that key back, but so does He-Man (Dolph Lundgren) and his team of good guys. Will the forces of good prevail over Skeletor’s very bad men?
The outcome is never in question, but Masters of the Universe makes up for its predictability by being a charmingly low-stakes adventure. The blond hunk Lungdren is ideally cast as a moving action figure, and Langella has fun wearing a cheesy skull mask and hissing maniacally as Skeletor. It’s not great cinema, but Masters of the Universe is an enjoyable enough romp that should appeal to ‘80s kids who never want to grow up.
SZA, 35, showed off her figure via Instagram on Thursday, June 5, in a completely sheer top. While taking a mirror selfie, the singer posed in a mesh shirt featuring a printed bikini design on it. SZA gave fans a full look at her nipples through the pink-and-purple top.
The rapper made her outfit even more sexy with teeny tiny black shorts, which she teamed with a statement silver belt seating an animal’s skull on the hardware. SZA’s funky accessories didn’t stop there. She wore a number of layered necklaces, including a silver coin and red pendant, a brown cap over her hair.
SZA also stacked gold and woven bracelets on her wrist, and wore a ring on nearly all of her fingers. Perhaps her most quirky accessory of all was her potato smiley face phone case.
For glam, the “Kill Bill” singer donned a full beat including seamless foundation, flirty eyelashes and pink glossy lips. Her brunette strands were paired on the side and styled in voluminous curls that cascaded to her waist.

Elsewhere in her sultry social media post, SZA gave fans a glimpse of her panties while tugging a blue dress down to her waist. The rest of the design was complete with an extremely low-cut neckline, an open back and rhinestone embellishments.

SZA also went pantsless while showing off her lingerie. She wore nothing but a sheer lace bodysuit that gave her fans a peek of her embellished thong.
“Spent some time alone,” SZA captioned the social media post. Fans went wild for her thirst trap in the comments section, writing hilarious notes.
“I told my therapist about you,” one quipped, while the official Lilly Lashes account added, “My breath kept getting shorter after each swipe.” More gushed over her “divine feminine” ensembles.
Peta Murgatroyd is one of a handful of Dancing With the Stars pros to become a mother in recent years — and after welcoming her third child last year, she feels ready to return to the ballroom.
“Right now, I do feel like I have a bit of a weight lifted off my shoulders. I’ve gotten through that first, you know, newborn stage again. So I feel like I would be ready to go back,” Murgatroyd, 38, told Us Weekly exclusively while promoting her self-tanner line, Peta Jane Beauty. “I love the show. I love what it’s about. I love training people [and] teaching them how to dance. I love the performance aspect of it. So, yes, if they did come to me and want me back, I would say yes.”
Murgatroyd is married to fellow former DWTS pro Maksim Chmerkovskiyand the couple share three sons: Shai, 8, Rio, nearly 2, and Milan, 11 months. She admitted that she decides whether or not the show’s schedule works for their family on a season-by-season basis — especially if Chmerkovskiy, 45, expresses interest in a return, too.
“Of course it would be better if one person was around but we would probably have different schedules — I would maybe be a 9 to 1, he would be a 1 to 5. So we could kind of tag team it like that,” Murgatroyd explained, sharing that they have a full-time nanny who helps care for the children.
“I think it’s got to do with if I miss it or not, you know? If I look at it on the TV and I’m like, ‘Oh, I wish I was there,’” she said of her thought process. “And, to be honest, last season I didn’t miss it because I was so postpartum. I had two babies [back-to-back] — it felt like I had twins. I had Irish twins to deal with, and my 8-year-old. It was just very consuming [and] I couldn’t imagine myself in that [pro] role back then because you need to dedicate everything to that role in the three months that you’re on that screen.”
Murgatroyd further detailed the grueling balance of being a DWTS pro and a parent, mentioning fellow dancers and moms Witney Carson, Lindsay Arnold, Daniella Karagach and her sister-in-law, Jenna Johnson. (Johnson is married to Maksim’s brother and DWTS pro Val Chmerkovskiy.)
“I gotta tell you, it is extremely difficult,” Murgatroyd noted of tackling motherhood while competing on the show. “I wonder sometimes how I would do it because there’s three now and I already have my 8-year-old saying that he doesn’t have enough time with me because of the two babies, and that makes me feel a type of way.”
She continued: “When I go to work, I have to go to work and just only think of this. It’s very hard, obviously, because my phone’s bleeping if it’s the nanny, if it’s Shai wanting to talk to me or something like that. But I really have to dedicate that time for myself to be a part of that show again and, when that time is over, when those four or five hours of dancing or practice is over, I am back full-time mom. I’m coming home and I’m being with them. You know? There’s no like going out and hanging with friends and stuff like that. No, it’s full-time mom after that. I feel like any little snippet of time will be dedicated to them.”

Murgatroyd went on to say that “it is very difficult” to leave her children in the morning, especially when she competed on season 32 with Barry Williams.
“I did it with two [kids] last time I was on the show with Barry. And we were living in Malibu at that time and I had to drive an hour each way to get into work. And it was really difficult to leave the kids, just purely because I was leaving so early to get there. I had minimal time with them,” she shared with Us. “You really have to have amazing time management. I can’t say it’s easy. I can’t say it’s something that feels good, also, because it just doesn’t. I miss my kids when I’m on the show, too.”
Murgatroyd has appeared on 15 seasons of DWTS since 2011, winning twice with Donald Driver and Nyle DiMarco during seasons 14 and 22, respectively. As for whether another Mirrorball Trophy (now called the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy in memory of the late judge) is on her mind, Murgatroyd can’t deny the allure of the coveted statue.
“There’s always an itch to win,” she said. “I don’t think my life depends on it anymore. You know, when you’re younger and it’s like, ‘I have to win, I’m going to do everything.’ I go in feeling the same way but you kind of get the gist of who you’re given and how far you’re going to go very early on. So there’s only been a few people that surprised me, like Tommy Chong. We got to the semifinals. He was 76 at the time. Barry, again, I didn’t think we would go to the quarterfinals like we did. That was amazing.”
“But, I would love another Mirrorball. Who? Who wouldn’t?” she stated. “There’s been no girl that has won three times. It’s me twice, Cheryl [Burke]’s won twice. Julianne [Hough]’s won twice. [Kym Johnson won twice.] So, yeah, of course, that would be amazing.”
During a recent chat with Us Weekly, Maksim also confessed that he’s open to another shot at a win and is asked back “every year” because of his connection to Murgatroyd, brother Val, 39, and Johnson, 31. (He last appeared as a pro on season 25.)
“I think today I would come back,” he told Us of a potential return to the ballroom. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s to judge or to dance, I think it’s just fun to even be in this situation … There were moments in my journey with Dancing With the Stars that I’ve never thought that 20 years later I will be as part of it as I was.”
In addition to her work as a dancer, Murgatroyd is the founder of Peta Jane Beauty, an award-winning self-tanning brand available globally.
“When I was on Dancing With the Stars, we had been tanning for years. I had tried every tanner on the market. We would get tanned once a week, spray-tanned, and I always left feeling kind of, like, not that confident in it,” she explained. “I didn’t like it the next day. I felt like I always had to cover it up the next day and wear long sleeves if anything was patchy or going orange. And I was honestly just frustrated and just sick of it, and thought, ‘Why isn’t there something that is natural? Looks like you’ve been in the sun for two weeks?’ There was just nothing like that around. So I teamed up with an industry professional and we formulated over, gosh, like seven to eight years, to try and get the perfect formula that will never go orange, it’ll dry super quick and it doesn’t smell bad. So we’ve finally done it.”
Eady filed a $20 million lawsuit against the network on Thursday, June 5, for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress, false light, sexual harassment, hostile work environment and more following her experience filming season 16, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Specifically, the suit addresses an incident airing on the April 6 episode of The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
Viewers watched Kenya Moore host some of the cast at the grand opening of her Kenya Moore Hair Spa business. During the event, Moore unveiled explicit images purportedly of Eady — who was not present at the taping.
According to Eady’s lawsuit, Bravo allegedly “knew that the photograph did not depict [Eady] or, at the very least, were reckless or grossly negligent in failing to learn that the photograph did not depict [Eady].”
Despite Eady’s repeated requests prior to the airing of the episode to see the photograph in question, the defendants allegedly did not show her. As a result, Eady’s lawsuit claims Bravo “contributed to a hostile work environment for [Eady] and sexually harassed [Eady] by subjecting [her] to unwelcome, offensive and sexualized behavior and comments based on her gender.”

In the lawsuit, Eady is requesting punitive damages and the immediate removal of the episode from public access on all platforms. If the defendants fail to appear, Eady’s team requested a judgement of no less than $20 million.
Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo and Eady’s attorney for comment. Moore is not listed as a defendant in the case.
On Thursday, both Eady, 37, and Moore, 54, announced they would not be attendingThe Real Housewives of Atlanta season 16 reunion taping.
“I’m disappointed to not be a part of the #RHOA 16 reunion taping today,” Moore wrote via X at the time. “Please know I take full accountability for my actions and deeply apologize to all those affected including Brittney, the cast, crew, guests and viewers. I look forward to seeing you all back on Bravo soon.”
Eady also confirmed via Instagram Story that she personally made the decision not to attend the reunion taping.
“The events of this season have devastated me, and while I cannot say much right now, I do want to set the record straight about one thing: the graphic sexual photo surrounding the events in Episode 5. That photo was not me,” she wrote. “As the episode made clear, I did not see the photo at the time. Rather, I was made aware of the photo being presented at the event, and based on what I was told, assumed that it was somehow a photo of me.”
Eady added, “I do not know who was in that photo, but upon seeing it for the first time recently, I now know it was not me.”
Ginny & Georgia fans refuse to suspend their disbelief when it comes to Diesel La Torraca — who is now a teenager — playing a 9-year-old.
The third season, which premiered on Thursday, June 5, picked up right where things left off, with Georgia (Brianne Howey) being arrested for murder in full view of her kids, Austin and Ginny (Antonia Gentry). It should have been an emotional moment, but viewers kept getting distracted by the fact that the two-year hiatus between seasons 2 and 3 resulted in La Torraca, 14, looking all grown up.
“They really threw some glasses on this grown 14 year old kid and said go on Austin be 9/10 years old. Here for it,” read a reaction via X, while someone else joked, “Austin look like he married with taxes to pay and two kids of his own.”
The audience found it hard to ignore La Torraca’s obvious growth spurt. “The Ginny and Georgia directors trying to hide the fact that 9 year old Austin is 6ft tall now by making him sit every scene he’s in and wearing a blanket,” wrote an X user.
Meanwhile, another fan poked fun at the time it will take to film season 4, writing alongside a photo of Jack Antonoff, “At this rate Netflix is going to take their sweet time pushing out these seasons. This gonna be Austin next season.”
La Torraca joined in on the fun with a TikTok video of him and costar Connor Laidman. “Y’all think I grew up,” he captioned the video, which showed how much Laidman grew as well since the last time his character, Zach, was seen on the show.

Ginny & Georgia, which premiered in 2021, follows a young single mother who moves her family to Wellsbury, Massachusetts, after running away from her past. In addition to Howey, Gentry and La Torraca, the Netflix series also stars Felix Mallard, Sara Waisglass, Scott Porter and Raymond Ablack.
The newest batch of episodes aired after a lengthy hiatus. Season 2 originally wrapped up filming in early 2022, but production on the third installment only started two years later following the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
“We see entirely new sides of Ginny and Georgia,” Howey, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly in January about the onscreen changes. “I feel like [it’s] surprising ’cause we’ve already seen so many sides of them, but lo and behold, there’s more.”
One month later, Howey expanded on what is to come, telling Us, “All of the characters are now, as we see, on their own mental health journey, and it’s a really important part of the show. Georgia, for the first time in her life, is realizing the catastrophic consequences of her actions that they have on her children.”
Howey was excited for Georgia to continue to evolve. “As season 2 starts, Georgia has been so exposed — all of their private family secrets are now out in the open — and you can only imagine the domino effect of what this does to everyone in Georgia’s life, including Georgia,” she added.
At the time, Howey noted how Georgia and Ginny’s bond will continue to be the driving force of the show, adding, “I think what we love so much about Ginny and Georgia is their love for each other. What Georgia is out there showing is that there’s no wrong way to love your child — it might look different on everybody, but there’s no wrong way to love your child.”
Howey concluded: “Georgia, even with her limited toolbox — and she, of course, doesn’t get it all right — but she is trying so hard. I think that’s what really matters.”
Ginny & Georgia is currently streaming on Netflix.
Mary-Louise Parker stepped out for a rare appearance alongside her daughter, Caroline “Ash” Aberash Parker.
The mother-daughter duo attended The Institute premiere during SXSW London 2025 on Thursday, June 5, posing for photos on the red carpet. Mary-Louise, 60, rocked a powder blue suit while Ash, 18, went with an all-black suit, paired with a sparkly shirt underneath.
Mary-Louise adopted Ash from Ethiopia in 2007. The actress is also a mother to son William Atticus Parker, whom she shares with ex-boyfriend Billy Crudup.
While the Weeds alum doesn’t speak much about her children, she did gush over Ash during a 2008 interview.

“I can’t adopt 500 children, but I did adopt this one beautiful little girl, and it was an amazing thing,” she said at the New Yorker Festival. The following year, Mary-Louise referred to her daughter as “a little warrior,” calling Ash “really amazing.”
As Ash has gotten older, Mary-Louise has continued to detail her relationship with her daughter — calling the teen one of the “most beautiful women on Earth” in a 2020 interview, and revealing how they’ve become quite similar.
“I once heard Stevie Nicks say that no matter what else happened at night, even if she was stumbling down drunk, she made sure to clean her face. I have, more than once, forcibly pushed a friend staying the night into the bathroom to clean their face,” she told The Bare magazine. “Now my daughter is the same way, and she’s like me in that she loves makeup but doesn’t wear a lot of it.”
This recent outing marked the first time Mary-Louise and Ash posed together on a red carpet since 2019. At the time, the actress had both of her children by her side as she attended David Lynch Foundation’s Women of Vision Awards Benefit Luncheon in New York City.
Thursday’s premiere celebrated the upcoming release of Mary-Louise’s horror thriller The Institute, which is set to air on MGM+ next month. The series is based on the Stephen King novel of the same name.
The red carpet saw Mary-Louise posing alongside her daughter but also had the actress reuniting with her cast members. The series also stars Ben Barnes, Simone Miller, Joe Freeman and Fionn Laird, all of whom were also at Thursday’s event.
The show is set to follow genius Luke Ellis (Freeman), who possesses unnatural abilities and wakes up in a place full of kids experiencing a similar fate. Mary-Louise will play Ms. Sigsby, who runs The Institute.
The Institute is set to premiere on MGM+ Sunday, July 13.
As the NFL offseason continues, Patrick and Brittany Mahomes stepped out to watch a different sport for their latest public date night.
The couple were seen cheering on the softball team of Patrick’s alma mater, Texas Tech University, at Game 2 of the 2025 Women’s College World Series on Thursday, June 5. The appearance marked the fulfillment of a promise Patrick, 29, made to the team while sending them a congratulatory gift on making it to the tournament for the very first time.
“You got a gift from your No. 1 fan, Patrick Mahomes,” head coach Gerry Glasco said in a Wednesday, June 4, X video of the athletes opening customized Adidas letterman jackets and sneakers. “The goal is he’s trying to get here in person before this series is over, but he said to go ahead and give you this tonight.”
Patrick and Brittany, 29, took a night off from parenting their three kids — Sterling, 4, Bronze, 2, and Golden, 4 months — to watch the Texas Tech Red Raiders take on the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns at Devon Park in Oklahoma.
The couple, who wed in 2022, got in the festive spirit by rocking the team’s colors. Patrick sported the team’s jersey while Brittany paired a red T-shirt with a black-and-white baseball cap.
During the game, Patrick opened up about his love for the team in an interview with ESPN. “First off, I love Texas Tech and everything Texas Tech’s about. And to have [pitcher] NiJaree [Canady] here along with the other girls has been fun to watch,” he told the outlet. “And so, I’ve always loved softball and watching it. I’m happy it’s gonna be back in the Olympics and glad to have them here in Oklahoma City.”

Brittany, for her part, added, “These girls are amazing and they’re incredible athletes with a ton of talent. And NiJaree is just incredible with her skill and her talent, and it’s just been awesome to watch.”
The Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated the Longhorns with a score of 4-3. The two teams will go head-to-head once again during Game 3 on Friday, June 6.
The softball match is not the only sporting event Patrick and Brittany have attended during this NFL offseason. Last month, the couple packed on the PDA while in Florida for the F1 Miami Grand Prix.
The duo have also been enjoying quality time with their family. Patrick and Brittany left baby Golden at home while taking Sterling and Bronze on a fun trip to Disney World in April. “The best trip with our besties,” Brittany captioned Instagram pics from the trip.
Brittany later shared a glimpse at Golden in a family photo from her and Patrick’s Easter celebrations. “He is Risen Happy Easter,” she wrote alongside the holiday pics via Instagram.
You may have noticed that Netflix has a lot of shows that revolve around crime in some way.
While we can only assume that crime dramas are very popular on the streamer, the fact that there are currently three of those shows in Netflix’s top 10 appears to confirm that.
The Watch With Us team is particularly interested in bingeing Animal Kingdom, the TNT original series that ran for six seasons. There are 75 episodes of that show, and it should keep you coming back for a long time.
You can find that series in our roundup of the three underrated Netflix shows to watch this weekend.
Don’t let the name fool you. Animal Kingdom is no nature program, and in this crime series, Janine “Smurf” Cody (Ellen Barkin) is the queen of the jungle. The show largely takes place from the perspective of Joshua “J” Cody (Finn Cole), Smurf’s teenage grandson, who has to move in with her following the death of his mother.
J soon learns that Smurf is the head of their criminal family, and her sons do the the dirty work to keep money coming in. Barry “Baz” Blackwell (Scott Speedman) is the only adopted son among Smurf’s adult children, and he’s often joined by his brothers, Andrew “Pope” Cody (Shawn Hatosy), Craig Cody (Ben Robson) and Deran Cody (Jake Weary). To stay in this family, J has to prove that he has what it takes to hang with his family — and that he belongs with them.
Sara: Woman in the Shadows is an Italian crime drama that features Teresa Saponangelo as the title character. Sara was once known as the Invisible Woman among her colleagues because she was such a talented intelligence operative. But she has since retreated from the world into a life of solitude. The only thing that draws Sara out is the tragic death of her son, which the police of ruled an accident.
However, Sara is convinced that her son’s death was a murder. To prove her suspicions, she reconnects with her former colleague, Teresa (Claudia Gerini). That help comes with a price, because Teresa wants Sara’s help as well. There’s a larger conspiracy in play, and only a woman with Sara’s unique skills and her talent for lipreading can see it through to the end.
Sara: Woman in the Shadows is streaming on Netflix.
‘The Survivors’ (2025)
For almost half of his life, Kieran Elliot (Charlie Vickers) has had to live with his role in the tragedy that claimed the life of his brother and a young woman he was close to named Gabby Birch (Eloise Rothfield). The Survivors touches upon that incident and picks up years later when Kieran returns to town. Even after all of this time, his mother, Verity (Robyn Malcolm), won’t forgive him.
When another young woman starts asking questions about how Gabby died, she’s soon found murdered on the beach. That throws an intense glare back on Kieran and his family, especially over the suspicion that Gabby was murdered. The answers are going to come out, but there may be some blood spilled along the way.
“As I went around the world with Halloween Ends, people wanted to know if there was going to be another Freaky Friday. Something really touched a chord,” Curtis told The New York Times in May 2023. “When I came back, I called my friends at Disney and said, ‘It feels like there’s a movie to be made.’”
Lohan, for her part, agreed, revealing that she and Curtis were “leaving it in the hands that be” at Disney. “We would only make something that people would absolutely adore,” she added.
The first Freaky Friday premiered in 2003, with Lohan playing the role of teenage Anna and Curtis starring as her mom, Tess. Amid their constant fighting, the mother-daughter duo find themselves eating magic fortune cookies that force them to switch bodies. Mark Harmon and Chad Michael Murray also star.
When reflecting on the film to celebrate its 20-year anniversary, Curtis remembered Lohan as “fluid” on set.
“She has a facility as an actor that is really impressive,” the actress shared in the film’s NYT profile. “It was a big job. It was a big production. And our relationship was very easy.”

Lohan recalled Curtis taking “me under her wing” throughout the production.
“Jamie showed up with such an infectious personality that set the tone for the whole day,” Lohan said. “I was so nervous to do my first kiss on camera, so she talked to me in my trailer and made it funny so that I wouldn’t stress about it.”
These aren’t the only original Freaky Friday stars down to reprise their roles. Keep scrolling for everything to know about the film’s sequel so far:
Will There Be a ‘Freaky Friday 2’?
“Disney confirmed that a sequel was in development, with Elyse Hollander writing the screenplay, and Curtis and Lohan in talks to return,” The New York Times reported in May 2023 when celebrating the movie’s 20-year anniversary.
Before the official confirmation, Curtis led the charge for another movie.
“Let me be the grandma, let me be the old grandma who switches places, so then Lindsay gets to be the sexy grandma who’s still happy with Mark Harmon in all the ways you would be happy with Mark Harmon,” she shared on The View in October 2022. “I would like to see Lindsay be the hot grandma, and I would like to see me try to deal with toddlers today. I want to be a helicopter parent in today’s world.”
What is the Title of the ‘Freaky Friday’ Sequel?
At D23 Expo in August 2024, Disney confirmed that the film will be called Freakier Friday.

Disney
What Is the Plot of ‘Freaky Friday 2’?
A casting call shared by Ganatra revealed some plot details, including that Lohan’s Anna now has her own snarky 14-year-old daughter. Harper is described as “a tomboy with a sharp sense of humor.”
The description reads: “Harper is in a bit of a mood these days because her longtime single mom is set to marry British restauranteur Eric Davies. If that wasn’t bad enough Eric comes with his own 14-year-old daughter, sharp-tongued Lily. Harper and Lily do not see eye to eye. Harper would like to see things go her way and use her intelligence to stop this marriage from ever happening.”
In August 2024, Disney released an official synopsis: “The story picks up years after Tess (Curtis) and Anna (Lohan) endured an identity crisis. Anna now has a daughter of her own and a soon-to-be stepdaughter. As they navigate the myriad challenges that come when two families merge, Tess and Anna discover that lightning might indeed strike twice.”

Will Pink Slip Return for ‘Freakier Friday’?
Lohan’s character Anna had a band called Pink Slip in the first film — other members included Christina Vidal (Maddie) and Haley Hudson (Peg) — which was responsible for some iconic 2000s hit songs, including “Ultimate” and “Take Me Away.”
Andrew Gunn, the film’s producer, let it slip in a September 2023 interview with Cosmopolitan that they might just be getting the band back together for the sequel.
“We got a draft of a script for the sequel right before the writers’ strike, and it was really good,” he gushed. “A writer came up with the most brilliant idea. It uses music and the band in a great way.”
What Has Lindsay Lohan Said About ‘Freakier Friday’?
Lohan confirmed that the sequel was happening during a March 2024 appearance on Sirius XM’s Radio Andy, but played coy when it came to sharing any details.

Have There Been Photos from ‘Freaky Friday 2’ Set?
Curtis shared a clip via Instagram in June 2024 of the Freaky Friday 2 set. In the video, she and Lohan pose outside their trailers.
Is There a Trailer for ‘Freakier Friday’ Yet?
Disney released the official trailer for the sequel in March 2025. “That’s interesting. Your lifelines, it’s like they’ve intersected before. You’ve walked in each other’s path,” a fortune teller (played by Vanessa Bayer) ominously warns Tess (Curtis) and Anna Coleman (Lohan). “You learned a lesson, a lesson that may serve you again.”
The mother-daughter duo jumps up to leave before history repeats itself, except they can’t stop the premonition. This time around, Anna’s daughter and her soon-to-be British stepsister also swap bodies with Tess and Anna and it’s going to be messy.
“My face looks like a Birkin bag that’s been left out in the sun to rot,” Curtis hilariously says while staring at her new body.

When Will ‘Freaky Friday 2’ Be Released?
Freakier Friday is set to hit theaters on August 8, 2025.
What Did We Learn From the New Trailer?
In June 2025, Disney dropped a second trailer, revealing even more clues about the story line. In the video, Anna (Lohan) is preparing to marry Eric Davies (Jacinto), but neither her nor Eric’s daughter want to be sisters.
During Anna’s bachelorette party, she and Tess (Curtis) meet with a fortune teller — as do the two young girls — and soon after they switch bodies. “As adults, we can break our parents up for good,” Lohan says, while her daughter is in her body.
“All you have to do is reunite her with her first love,” Curtis says, referring to Jake (Murray). In the clip, the cursed Anna hits on Jake — who still rides a motorcycle — at a record store and it doesn’t go well.
“I know what this is, you’re having a stroke,” Jake says after seeing her terrible attempt at flirting.
Ratajkowski, 33, showed off just the right amount of skin while modeling for Gucci on Friday, June 5. In the snap, she got her glam touched up while rocking a charcoal Gucci bikini featuring a triangle top equipped with the brand’s logo. The halter design, which retails for $890, was finished with gold hardware connecting the cups. The model tied her straps extra tight, letting her underboob peek out from the bottom of her suit.
Instead of pairing the top with the brand’s bottoms, Ratajkowski opted for neon yellow panties equipped with lace lining. She also wore denim shorts and an unbuttoned pinstripe dress shirt.
Ratajkowski opted for all Gucci accessories, including gold hoop earrings and a brown purse complete with a red-and-green strap.
She donned a full beat for her campaign photo shoot, rocking dewy skin, glossy nude lips and long lashes. Ratajkowski parted her brunette hair down the middle and styled her strands in a messy blowout.

Elsewhere in her photo shoot, Ratajkowski wore a Gucci one-piece featuring a strapless neckline and printed chain design. She wrapped a silk scarf around her waist while posing on a beach and searching through her oversized bag.
Ratajkowski also got cheeky in black hot shorts while climbing onto a boat.

“Look ma, my butt’s in the new @gucci campaign! (last slide),” the Gone Girlstar hilariously captioned the post. Fans were quick to praise Ratajkowski’s photo shoot in the comments section.
“You saved the best for last ,” one wrote, as a second follower added, “SLAY.” More complimented Ratajkowski’s beach “babe” style.
Ratajkowski has proven time and again that she has no shortage of summer-ready swimwear. In January, she showed off her curves while rocking an itty-bitty nude bikini that barely covered her chest as she vacationed in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
She accessorized the bikini with a silver statement necklace and red rectangular eyeglasses. Ratajkowski also showed off her bum on her trip, rocking a colorful thong bikini.
