Like many of Us, Anna Kendrick can’t skip her morning coffee. The on-the-go actress doesn’t always have time to pick up her caffeine fix from a local coffee shop, so she relies on this easy-to-use coffee maker for her daily brew.

In an interview with The Strategist, the Pitch Perfect actress revealed she “can’t live without” the Keurig K-Brew+Chill Coffee Maker. As someone who always starts their morning “with a coffee,” Kendrick has found herself transitioning into more of an “iced coffee girl.” She’s also someone who’s looking for “any excuse to stay at home,” and the machine makes it ”so much easier” to make her own the kitchen instead of having to go out and get it.

“I really appreciate being able to have my mocha frappe straight out of my kitchen,” she said.

Freddie Prinze Jr. has come a long way since he made his acting debut.

Prinze Jr. was born in Los Angeles to Katherine Elaine Prinze and standup comedian Freddie Prinze. Upon his father’s death in 1977, Prinze Jr. and his mom relocated to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

As a teen, Prinze Jr. imagined becoming a civil engineer. However, he was inspired to pursue acting after Neil Patrick Harris spoke to his high school about the entertainment industry. After graduating in 1994, Prinze Jr. returned to LA to take a shot at becoming a TV star.

He snagged his first role as a guest star on Family Matters in 1995. Following his stint on the sitcom, Prinze Jr. appeared in several other shows and made for TV films. In 1996, he made his big screen debut in the film To Gillian on Her 37th Birthday. One year later, he scored his breakout role in the horror flick I Know What You Did Last Summer, cementing himself as a star of the ‘90s.

While on the set of the slasher film, he met Sarah Michelle Gellar. After striking up a friendship, the pair’s connection turned romantic several years later. They tied the knot in 2002 and welcomed two children: daughter Charlotte, and son Rocky, in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr.'s Sweetest Parenting Quotes

Us Weekly News

8 March 2025 at 07:51

Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. have been gushing about their kids since starting their family in 2009.

The actress gave birth to their daughter, Charlotte, that year, followed by son Rocky in 2012 — and the little ones are anxious for a younger sibling.

Gellar’s children ask “every day” about becoming a family of five, the New York native exclusively told Us Weekly in September 2019, noting that she tells them to “ask Daddy.”

Charlotte and Rocky aren’t impressed by their parents’ careers, she went on to tell Us. She and her former Scooby-Doo costar prefer to keep the kids’ lives away from the spotlight.

“A lot of people are willing to put their kids on social media. A lot of people are willing to put their kids out there,” Prinze Jr. exclusively told Us the following year. “That’s just not something that I’ve ever done.”

The Los Angeles native added that he won’t rule out letting their children follow in his and Gellar’s acting footsteps, but only when they turn 18.

“They can do whatever they want [then],” the actor told Us in February 2020. “I’m not trying to make money off my kids. Sarah and I, our bills are paid. Our kids don’t need to act. If they want to act, there’s local theaters that they can perform in. There are school theaters that they can do. It’s easy for kids to scratch that itch if they’re wanting to be famous. That’s something that I think you need to shut down early as a parent. Not shut down, but just explain to them fame isn’t a job.”

Keep scrolling to read more of the couple’s parenting quotes over the years from holiday traditions to homeschooling.

Achieving a Balanced Diet — Prinze Jr. revealed that he didn’t mind being the bad guy to ensure his kids were getting their proper nutrients.
“You just have to be a jerk. It’s OK,” Prinze Jr., 47, exclusively told Us in November 2023. “My mom had zero issues being a jerk, as did most moms in the ‘80s. You bring a little of that last generation in and let it speak for you when you feel you can’t do it yourself.”
He added that the method ultimately worked since his kids “eat everything” that they are served at mealtime.

An Evolving Discussion — "My son doesn't care [about social media]. That's not his world. It's definitely something my daughter and I discuss and it's obviously an ever-evolving conversation," Gellar exclusively told Us in September 2022. "Obviously there'll be a time where I can't say no to her anymore because I'll be keeping her away from the way her generation communicates. But I also need to wait until she gets to a point where she understands the permanence of what you put out there."
The Do Revenge star added: "You see all these people who post something at a young age and now they're in the workforce and it's coming back to haunt them. You're not fully developed yet and are you ready to make statements that can be forever permanent? I think that's what I'm trying to get her to understand."

Bad Cops — The couple are “strict as hell” and have “100 rules” while raising Charlotte and Rocky, Prinze Jr. exclusively told Us in December 2021.

Too Soon — Charlotte and Rocky are “not allowed” to be on social media, Gellar exclusively told Us in September 2021. "That is a huge responsibility. … My son doesn’t care. My daughter is definitely curious, but we’ve explained that these are our rules and different families have different rules."

Waiting Game — "I have to sort of cherry-pick which ones [we watch] because they’re still so young," Gellar exclusively told Us in July 2021 of watching Buffy, noting that her kids had slowed down around season 5. "We’re working our way slowly through it. And then they’ve gotten distracted by other shows.”

Best Balance — "I've had to stop being so hard on myself about the screens and understand that this is the only way that my kids can have a connection,” Gellar exclusively told Us in February 2021 of homeschooling Charlotte and Rocky amid the coronavirus pandemic. "And this is how they have playdates. Now, as they put these Zoom cameras on and they play and it's all balanced, it's finding the days where I'm like, 'OK, it's gorgeous outside. We're taking a walk as a family. We're going to walk the dogs. We're going to play football. We're going to do a board game.' And also understand that some days they're just going to be on those devices."

Parents’ PDA — "My son’s too young so he doesn’t really care,” Prinze Jr. exclusively told Us in December 2020 of Rocky watching Gellar's kissing scenes. “He doesn’t even know it’s Sarah sometimes when he’s watching because she’ll have brown hair in something and blonde in another.” As for Charlotte, the actress-in-the-making gets "excited" about all of her parents' scenes.

Spooky Season — Gellar exclusively told Us in October about her "choose-your-own-adventure" Halloween plans with Charlotte and Rocky, explaining, "I said to my kids: ‘It’s Halloween, we’re going to figure it out. We’re going to have costumes.’ I promised them that it’ll be a different way to celebrate the holiday, but we’ll make it festive and special nonetheless. ... I’m doing a costume with one of our children, and [my husband is] doing a costume with our other child.”

Big Fans — "My kids had never seen it until quarantine, and they kept asking and asking,” Gellar told Access Hollywood of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in October 2020. "And I said, 'OK, they're finally at the right age,' and I thought, 'They'll watch one or two episodes, and they'll be over it,' but they are hooked. My little one, my son, is like, 'Can we watch Buffy? Can we watch tonight? Can we watch Buffy tonight?'"

Funny Faces — "Yup, this sums it up,” the actress captioned a June 2020 selfie. “#homeschooling #quarantine day 63000 I think (and don’t ask what day of the week).”

New Perspective — In September 2019, the Cruel Intentions star told Us how Selma Blair's MS diagnosis inspired her parenting tactics. "There are times when I’m tired and my child wants to play one more round of trains,” she explained at the time. “The last thing I want to do is get on the floor and build another train. I think to myself, ‘What Selma would do to be able to just get on the floor and build trains.’”

High Bar — "Some people say our expectations are a little higher than most, but I think [our children] know what the rules are," Gellar told Us in February 2020. "We have [family dinner] as many nights as we can. We have no phones at the table. We sit, we all have dinner together.”

Strong Genes — Prinze Jr. explained why Rocky is like his mom, telling Us, "He likes things a certain way. He's more particular. He's more outgoing. He's willing to talk to people he doesn't know. Whereas me and Charlotte are like, 'What's this son of a gun looking at? What's he want?' We don't trust anybody."

Silver Lining — "Having kids is wonderful, and life changing, and rarely what you're prepared for," the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum captioned a May 2019 throwback photo with her daughter. "I love my children more than anything in the world. But like a lot of women, I too struggled with postpartum depression after my first baby was born. I got help, and made it through, and every day since has been the best gift I could ever have asked for."

Memory Maker — Gellar told Us in April 2016 that she doesn't check her phone while hanging out with her children. "When I'm there, I'm present," she said. "I'm not doing a million things."

Happy Holidays — In December 2015, the Emmy winner described a family tradition exclusively to Us, explaining, "Each family member and dog gets an ornament engraved with the year and picks a special picture to put in it."

Slowing Down — Gellar likes to involve her kids in the kitchen, she told Us in October of that same year. "I've always had my kids in the kitchen," the actress said. "I'll tell Charlotte, 'I need three cups of this' and she'll pour and dump, and when my son was younger he would point to the numbers."

LOL — She joked in February 2015 that her youngest behaved "like a teenager."

Father-Daughter Day — Prinze Jr. and his daughter enjoyed their "first jiu-jitsu together" in January 2015.

Loving Life — The She's All That star "loves" being a stay-at-home dad, Gellar told Us of her husband in February 2012. "We fight over who gets to stay home. You'd think it would be the opposite, that the parents would be like, 'No, I'll go to work!' but he's like, 'You stayed home for two years! It's my turn!'"

Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar have come a long way since their onscreen introduction on the set of 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer.

“We just would talk about life and stuff like that, and we had completely different philosophies on just about everything,” She’s All That actor exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2020. “We started this weekly barbecue thing at her house, and me and my cousins would come over and cook food for her and her friends. And then we’d make sure everybody ate, and that was kind of how our friendship began.”

Prinze and Gellar’s bond turned after a fumbled dinner date in January 2000. “We were supposed to have dinner with a friend of ours, and she didn’t make her plane, so we went anyway,” he told Us in 2020. “We’d had tons of dinners before and for some reason, it felt different that night. Organically, it just transitioned into something else.”

Red Carpet Cuties — The couple hit the red carpet to celebrate the premiere of Gellar’s new series Wolf Pack.

And I think that's really been a blessing for us,” the Do Revenge star exclusively told Us after the pair celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary in September 2022. “Right now, I can honestly say we won't work together [again] because we have young children and we work it out so that one of us is always home. Who’s to say 15 years from now? I can't speak to what that might look like.”

Proving the Haters Wrong! — Gellar shared some sweet snaps via her Instagram Story in September 2022 to celebrate her and Prinze's 20th wedding anniversary.

Family of 6! — The couple added two puppies to their family in November 2020 as an early Christmas present for their daughter and son. “Puppies, puppies are harder,” Prinze Jr. exclusively told Us, comparing dogs Kumi and Sato to his children. “Like, [with] the kids you go, ‘OK, when they’re older, if I’m nice to them, they’re going to take care of me.’ Dogs, you’re like, ‘Man, when they’re older, then I will take care of them more.’ So, puppies are harder.”

Always Thankful — “It’s definitely a different #thanksgiving, but the gratitude is the same,” the Ringer alum wrote via Instagram in November 2020 alongside a sunny photo with her man, noting how the COVID-19 crisis altered the family’s holiday plans.

Birthday Babe — “A very long time ago, on this very day, this handsome man was born,” the Buffy the Vampire Slayer alum wrote via Instagram in March 2020, in honor her love’s birthday. “I am extremely happy about that (although I doubt he’s happy that I still have this high school picture) happy birthday @realfreddieprinze #happybirthday.”

Working Side by Side — The couple reunited onscreen in February 2020 in a Cascade commercial. The pair joked about “doing it every night” when talking about washing the dishes together. “We do it after enchiladas,” Prinze said in the ad, to which Gellar added, “We do it after takeout.”

Road Trip Romance — The Los Angeles native told Us exclusively in February 2020 that his romance with his future wife all began on the set of 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer. Prinze Jr. recalled that Gellar didn’t have her driver’s license when they were filming the horror film in North Carolina, so he started to drive her “and that’s when we became friends.”
“We just would talk about life and stuff like that, and we had completely different philosophies on just about everything,” he told Us about the couple’s initial friendship. “‘Cause she was a born and raised New Yorker and I was a born and raised L.A. kid, and we just looked at everything like night and day.”
The duo also bonded over food. Prinze Jr. “thought she was too skinny” and “wanted to cook for her, because that’s what my family does,” the actor added. “So, we started this weekly barbecue thing at her house, and me and my cousins would come over and cook food for her and her friends. And then we’d make sure everybody ate, and that was kind of how our friendship began.”

Secret to Success — Prinze Jr. revealed the secret to his healthy marriage with Gellar in an interview with Us in February 2020. “There’s no keys. There’s no rules. There’s nothing like that. I don’t believe in false expectations,” the GEGG WARS: Galaxy of Crime actor said. “I just believe in knowing who you are when you start a relationship. And if you don’t, then that relationship probably isn’t going to work.”

Back to the Start — Gellar recalled her accidental first date with Prinze Jr. via Instagram in January 2020. "20 years ago this week, my friend @realfreddieprinze and I were supposed to have dinner with a mutual friend from out of town," she penned. "That friend missed her flight, but we decided to still meet and catch up. Now 20 years together, 17 plus married and two kids, we still go to that restaurant for dinner. So thank you @sloaney77 for not showing up for dinner."

Pajama Party — “#mcm (and yes this is how I watched the Globes, while recovering from the stomach flu),” the Crazy Ones alum wrote via Instagram in January 2020, alongside a photo of herself donning pajamas with her husband’s face on them.

Hard Work — Gellar told Us on September 24, 2019, that her relationship with Prinze. Jr. isn't always easy. “It takes work to have a good friendship," she said at the time. "You have to call and check in and dedicate that time, and most people aren’t willing to put that work in. So to have a successful relationship, whether it’s marriage, whether it’s friendship, whether it’s business, you have to put the time, if you want to see the results.”

“A Sense of Humor” — The actress celebrated their 16th wedding anniversary with a silly tribute to her husband posted via Instagram on September 4, 2018. “Marriage is like a deck of cards.

Ageless Lovebirds! — Gellar fondly looked back at the good ole days on July 2, 2015. “My #TBT is going way back #BodyBeforeBaby I wouldn't trade my kids for anything, but once in a while it's ok to be envious of what you used to look like,” the actress mused via Instagram. “#Goals #Dreaming This also reminds me...I need a vacation.”

Wild Kiddies! — Morning playtime! Charlotte shared with Rocky like a good big sister on May 15, 2015. “#FridayFunDay So this is how I found my kids this morning,” Gellar captioned the Instagram pic. “Charlotte decided to ‘help’ me by getting Rocky up and apparently taking him on #Safari #WildAnimals #Giraffe.”

Whipping Up Some Love! — Simply irresistible - in the kitchen! Gellar shared a rare kissing photo of the couple from their home in L.A.’s Mandeville Canyon neighborhood on April 8, 2015. “Please help me in congratulating my husband #freddieprinzejr on the announcement of his first cookbook #BackToTheKitchen coming in 2016 from #rodalebooks,” she captioned via Instagram. “I am very proud to say that I have personally tasted everyone of these amazing #recipes and will continue to. But now all of you will get to share in the amazing food from my absolute favorite chef.”

Mama’s Little Helper — Gellar’s baby boy Rocky helped her pick out medicine for the family on Feb. 24, 2015. “This is what happens when everyone in your house is sick,” the actress captioned a sweet Instagram pic. “You have to send your 2 year old to the drugstore #MakeItWork.” The following month, Gellar joined Season 2 of her husband’s animated series, Star Wars Rebels.

Welcome, Newbie! — Gellar joined Instagram on Feb. 12, 2015, which turned out to be the perfect excuse to share some of her cutest family moments! “I mean, it's work.

Such a Catch — He popped the question! The Buffy the Vampire Slayer actress and Prinze Jr. got engaged in April 2001. That August, the future spouses attended his Summer Catch premiere in L.A.

Smooches for Selma! — The couple walked the red carpet with Gellar’s Cruel Intentions costar Selma Blair at the MTV Movie Awards in 2000. The racy drama earned the ladies an award in the Favorite On-Screen Kiss category.

Costar Couples! — Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. met on set of 1997’s I Know What You Did Last Summer. The pair were close for years before their friendship blossomed into romance.

How Kieran Culkin, Wife Jazz Revealed 'Baby Daddy' Love to Melissa Peterman

Melissa Peterman is still meeting new Baby Daddy fans years after the sitcom came to an end — including Kieran Culkin and wife Jazz Charton.

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Peterman recalled being on the same flight with Culkin and Charton after he won the Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars.

“We were getting off the plane [after] I had changed seats so he could sit next to his wife. And they’re so adorable. As we’re getting off the plane, they were like, ‘Thank you for switching.’ Then they both were like, ‘You were on Baby Daddy! We love that show!” Peterman shared with Us. “He’s probably holding the Oscar in his duffel bag and he was telling me that they loved Baby Daddy.”

Peterman was flattered by the support. “I was like, ‘You have no idea how much that just lifted my heart up.’ That was amazing. He is so wonderful, she’s wonderful and they both watched Baby Daddy. Roman Roy from Succession watched Baby Daddy!”

While reflecting on her most memorable roles, Peterman admitted she still sometimes feels “like an imposter.”

“But I always know when someone comes up [to me] what show they know me from,” she noted. “And sometimes I’m wrong. A lot of the times I am because I think people have discovered [new shows] through Netflix and Hulu. So it’s always a delight and I will never, ever get sick of it because I feel really lucky that I get to do what I love.”

Peterman has had very memorable roles from Barbra Jean on Reba to Bonnie on Baby Daddy to Brenda in The Big Bang Theory spinoff Young Sheldon. She currently stars in NBC’s Happy’s Place — which reunites her with former costar Reba McEntire — but that doesn’t mean her previous projects aren’t on her mind.

The actress spoke to Us about how her TV worlds have collided after Baby Daddy costars Jean-Luc Bilodeau and Derek Theler visited her at a live taping for Happy’s Place.

“I love those boys. I love them all. I love Chelsea [Kane] and I love Tahj [Mowry],” she gushed. “It is another moment where I am like, ‘How lucky that I got to work on shows where I just loved the cast so much?’ I made sure I introduced Jean-Luc and Derek to the Happy’s Place creatives.”

Baby Daddy, which aired on Freeform from 2012 to 2017, followed a man raising a baby after a one-night stand with help from his friends, brother and mom. After the show came to an end, Peterman moved on with new projects — including Happy’s Place.

‘Reba’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

“It would be so great [to see Jean-Luc and Derek cameo on Happy’s Place]. They’re both so talented and funny,” she gushed. “I was thinking about how that could be really great. My mind is already working. That’s the beauty of working with a lot of great people. You just want to bring all your friends on and work with them again.”

Peterman noted that everyone is welcome on the Happy’s Place set — especially after the show was renewed for a second season.

“I’m excited about season 2 because that’s when things really open up for a show. When you can start going, ‘We’ve established that and we’ve got this,'” she explained to Us. “Now we can go, ‘Who is Takoda’s wife? Who is Gabby’s mom?’ There’s so many fun things that we are allowed to now do in a season 2 that you can’t always do in season 1.”

Happy’s Place airs on NBC Fridays at 8 p.m. ET.

Kourtney Kardashian Adores This ‘Buttery and Hydrating’ $12 Lip Treatment

Hydrating lip products have come a long way since your run-of-the-mill balm. Over the past few years, nourishing formulas have gotten a major facelift and do so much more than simply protect and hydrate your pout. The best of the best will also impart a lustrous, glossy finish, smell incredible and provide a slight tint, bringing your facial features to life. While there’s no shortage of lip products that do all three, Kourtney Kardashian has an all-time favorite that happens to cost just $12!

On a recent Twitch live stream with Alabama Barker, the reality star was seen smoothing the White Pitaya Coconut version of ESW Beauty’s Smoothie Lip Treatment across her lips. “It feels really buttery and hydrating,” she revealed. While Kardashian’s pick went on clear, it still gave her pout a glassy glaze.

Scarlett Johansson's 'One and Only' Glossy Lip Treatment That Sold Out 6 Times Is Back in Stock

I’ve tried my fair share of multi-tasking lip products over the years, but the ESW Beauty Smoothie Lip Treatment remains one of the most affordable and effective. Compared to similar options, this pick is nearly half the price yet feels just as luxurious. It all comes down to the ingredients, which include shea butter, peptides, vitamin E and hyaluronic acid. Yep — these are the exact same ingredients found in most facial moisturizers.

I also appreciate the thoughtful scents that make the application more enjoyable. Along with Kardashian’s tropical favorite, the Guava Mango scent immediately transports me to the beach and leaves behind the most luscious pink tint. I also love Vanilla Almond Butter for those cold winter nights when I want to feel extra cozy. Since one tube only costs $12, you could easily purchase all three and keep one in every purse. . . all without breaking the bank!

Shoppers who have stumbled upon this under-the-radar lippie are so glad they found it. “I honestly tried this randomly, but ended up loving it,” one Amazon reviewer wrote. “The color is gorgeous, it keeps my lips moisturized and I genuinely notice a difference in my lips when I use it vs when I don’t. I plan to continue to use this from here on out!”

Another person went as far as saying it’s the “only” lip product she’ll use. “If I could give this product 10 stars I would,” she said. “I am very picky when it comes to using products on my lips. It has a nice tint with a luxurious, smooth texture that lasts all day. I have very full lips and when I rubbed them together, it felt wonderful, not sticky like some other products. I purchased two with no regrets!”

I have a feeling that this treatment is about to become majorly popular thanks to Kardashian, so do yourself a favor and grab a scent (or two or three) before they sell out — which will inevitably happen.

Taye Diggs’ Ideal First Date Includes Ordering in and Watching a Movie

Us Weekly News

By: Molly McGuigan

8 March 2025 at 07:00

Taye Diggs is tired of getting dressed up and leaving the house for a date.

“Lately, because I’m old and tired, I like to order in,” Diggs, 54, says of his ideal first date for his My Life in Food feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “I don’t have the energy to get dressed up and go out. If I can bring someone over and order food in and watch TV or watch a movie, that’s where my head is now.”

The actor adds: “Which is really great about Chili’s because I had no idea that me and myself would have such a great time just grabbing up.”

Diggs is referring to I’ll Be Home for National Margarita Day, a Chili’s television event on Lifetime costarring Maria Menuounos that premiered on February 19.

Taye Diggs Talks ‘Fairly Simple’ Coparenting Relationship With Idina Menzel

“I just had a ball playing this role opposite Maria,” Diggs told Us of the campaign, which is a comedic Chili’s-themed take on classic Lifetime holiday movie archetypes. “Romantic comedies are my favorite when it comes to what I do. It was something that I loved and that I can’t wait to do again.”

And of course, the Chili’s food sweetened the deal: “Me and my son brought a bunch of grub back to the crib and we tore it up. … The fact that he loved all the Chili’s food that we got and didn’t interrupt our time together was huge for me,” he added.

Keep scrolling for more fun food stories from Diggs:

What snack are you obsessed with?

I like chips. I like things with cheese and dips. Fried mozzarella is always great. If it’s in the evening, an adult beverage is always nice, whether it’s a margarita or something like that. I’m not that fancy. I like something that’s pretty easy, but that settles the rumblings of the stomach.

What would be your last meal on Earth?

Fried mozzarella. There’s just something about cheese that just kind of warms you up. Fried mozzarella and a margarita with some really good company.

Growing up, was there a special dinner that your parents would make you for special occasions that you absolutely loved?

There was always some kind of a chicken. Chicken Sunday, chicken salad, that’s what I remember. We had a big family, so there was always lots of chicken for the holiday meals.

[My mom and dad] would compete. They both had different strengths. My mom would do the every day [meals], and on special occasions, my dad would get in there and that would always be a little something extra. Things would be a little bit more spicy.

Katie Lee Biegel’s 'Ultimate Comfort Meal' Is a Parisian Dream

What do you like to order on a first date?

Lately, because I’m older and tired, I like to order in. I don’t have the energy to get dressed up and go out. If I can bring someone over and order food in and watch TV or watch a movie, that’s where my head is now.

Would you say you’re a good cook?

Absolutely not. But I would like to. I wish I did because it would give me great pride to be able to say that I cooked for my son. But I’m gonna try to figure that out. I enjoy ordering in, but I would like to learn. In this next year, I would like to be able to cook my kid a really good meal.

Is there a comfort food you love to eat when no one is watching?

I [recently] woke up in the middle of the night and was just tearing up this cheesecake. I was not proud of that, but there you go.

Teddi Mellencamp ‘Cried’ from Dad John’s ‘Support’ Amid Brain Tumor Battle

Us Weekly News

By: Ryan Hudgins

8 March 2025 at 06:57

Teddi Mellencamp is feeling the love from her dad, John Mellencamp, following her brain tumor diagnosis and surgery.

“Dad. Thank you for saying yes you believe in me and know I can do it,” Teddi, 43, wrote via her Instagram Story on Saturday, March 8. “Cried with happiness that I have your support.”

Teddi continued her post by thanking her fans for their support as Christina Aguilera’s “Fighter” played over her upload.

“I am feeling great and got approval from my doctors to ride today,” Teddi wrote, referring to her love of horseback riding. “This makes my heart and soul happy. If I see you at the show today and you have the urge to try to tell me not to I kindly ask you refrain. I unknowingly rode with huge tumors in my brain for 6 months and those big ones are gone now.”

She continued, “When you are sick or have cancer your mental health is very important. I must keep going and give myself joy and goals. I am going to always fight to be my best and find ways to smile and enjoy my life. Thanks for coming along this journey with me. I am in no place for negativity or discouragement.”

Teddi announced her health battle last month, sharing that she had been experiencing “severe and debilitating headaches” for weeks — with the pain becoming “unbearable” and requiring hospitalization.

“After a CT scan and MRI, doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months. Two of the tumors will be surgically removed today. The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Teddi wrote via Instagram at the time.

She continued, “I am blessed to be surrounded by my children, family, friends, doctors, nurses and surgeons who are doing everything possible to get me back into better health. Thank you to everybody who has reached out, and to everyone who has supported me along this journey.”

Following Teddi’s surgery, estranged husband Edwin Arroyave shared an update on her health. (Teddi filed for divorce from Arroyave, 47, in November 2024. The pair share daughters Slate, 12, and Dove, 4, as well as son Cruz, 10.)

“So many people asking for updates. All I will say right now is surgery went well,” he wrote via his Instagram Story in February. “That said, I’ve never seen @teddimellencamp in so much pain. She’s finally getting some needed rest. I know she is so grateful for the outpouring of love.”

The next month, Teddi shared that doctors found five more tumors throughout her body.

“I have multiple tumors in my brain that weren’t able to be removed via surgery. I also have 2 tumors in my lung. These are all metastases of my melanoma,” she wrote via Instagram on Thursday, March 6. “The doctors are hopeful that immunotherapy will effectively treat them. I am feeling positive — that I will win this battle, that I got this wig (I like the short hair, just not the bald spots), and that I can remember all of Angelina’s kids’ names.”

John, for his part, has been by his daughter’s side through her health battle — and after she confirmed her exit from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in September 2020. While reflecting on her decision to leave the Bravo show, John, 73, admitted that he was “terribly excited and happy.”

“I’ve never liked that you were on the Real Housewives,” the musician told Teddi on a November 2020 episode of her “Teddi Tea Pod” podcast, noting that he “tried to be supportive” and watched the show for his daughter. “But I can assure you, I don’t watch it anymore.”

Joshua Jackson Jokes Don Johnson Inspired Below Deck's 'Stud' Captain Lee

Bravo fans think Below Deck‘s Captain Lee Rosbach invented the “Stud of the Sea” energy — but Joshua Jackson suggested that perhaps his Doctor Odyssey costar Don Johnson is the originator.

“I’m about to pay you a compliment here,” Jackson, 46, quipped to Johnson, 75, during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly. “I think that the Stud of the Sea studied Don Johnson. Don did not study the Stud of the Sea.”

Johnson agreed with Jackson’s hot take. “I’ve done quite a bit of work on the water and racing — also filming on the water for that matter,” he noted. “So I have an easy relationship with [the water].”

He continued: “I’ve always had a natural ability for authority and in expressing it. That’s what I do. I would like to say most people pay attention to me for that.”

Before Doctor Odyssey premiered in September 2024, reality TV fans fell in love with the high seas courtesy of Below Deck‘s Captain Lee. He was the OG cast member on the show since it debuted in 2013 but took a break from filming season 10 due to health issues. Lee, 75, returned later in the season but was ultimately replaced with Below Deck Adventure‘s Captain Kerry Titheradge.

Captain Lee was often referred to as the “Stud of the Sea” — until Johnson’s Captain Massey came along on Doctor Odyssey. The ABC drama introduced Us to Jackson’s character, Dr. Max Bankman, on his journey to becoming the new onboard doctor of the Odyssey, a cruise ship helmed by Captain Massey.

Doctor Odyssey — which also stars Phillipa Soo and Sean Teale — hasn’t been afraid to push boundaries while keeping Us on the edge of our seat week to week. It has most likely helped having boat owner Johnson offer his expertise after filming on vessels in other projects, including Miami Vice and Nash Bridges.

While speaking to Us, Jackson also found time to praise creator Ryan Murphy for producing the world of Doctor Odyssey, saying, “Ryan’s imagination is prolific and bizarre in its ability to hold [space] for the absolutely grotesque and absurd — and then there are his lighter and happier shows. All of that being inside of one man’s imagination is amazing.”

A Guide to 'Below Deck' and Its Many Spinoffs

Jackson recalled wanting to work for Murphy “for quite a long time.”

“One of the things that I love about his shows is the dialogue and how he keeps things moving. The dialogue is always at a pace where it always crackles. It doesn’t get dragged down,” he noted. “This show in particular is on the lighter side of his imagination. So we very much — by intention, throughout this entire season despite the hours being long and my brain definitely going to mush a couple of times — make sure that we keep on reminding each other to have fun with it.”

He concluded: “Ryan’s word was sparkle. He said, ‘Make sure that my show sparkles.’ And we have tried to make sure that this show sparkles as much as possible and just hope that the joy that we feel in performing it and doing it all together is what comes across while you’re watching it.”

Doctor Odyssey airs on ABC Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.

Why Southern Hospitality’s Joe, Maddi Think They Can Survive Reality Curse

Us Weekly News

By: Johnni Macke

8 March 2025 at 06:15

Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese have had the talk about whether they can survive as a reality TV couple — and they’re not afraid.

“It is a little daunting being a reality TV couple,” Joe confessed exclusively to Us Weekly on Thursday, March 6. “I’ve seen some of my favorite couples on reality TV implode.”

The Southern Hospitality star noted that couples can “either take it for what it is” and let the fame experience “make your relationship stronger,” or you can “let all the haters” interfere and derail the relationship.

“I’m not afraid of that. I think we’re in a good spot. Bring it on,” Joe teased.

Southern Hospitality s Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese Talk About Reality Curse We re a Special Case — Charles Sykes/Bravo

Joe explained that unlike a lot of reality couples who’ve broken up, he and Maddi’s dynamic dates back to before they joined the Bravo series. (When Southern Hospitality premiered in 2022, Joe and Maddi were friends and coworkers.)

“I think we’re a special case because we were best friends before the show, and I think it wasn’t forced,” Joe said. “Timing was in our favor and it kind of happened organically.”

That being said, Joe and Maddi have discussed prioritizing their relationship. “I looked at her, I’m like, ‘Hey, if it ever gets too complicated, I choose you over a TV 1,000 times out of 1,000 [times],’” he shared with Us.

Southern Hospitality’s Joe and Maddi Reveal They’ve Been Dating Since April

Joe added, “Whatever makes her comfortable and happy, I’m going to do that.” He confessed it can be “scary” to make their relationship so public, but he knows Maddi is The One.

“There’s one thing I’m not scared of or any doubt in, [and] it’s our relationship,” he said.

Despite being confident that he and Maddi, who started dating in April 2024, are on the right path, Joe revealed he’s pumped the brakes a little on his timeline.

“I think I kind of got a little ahead of myself with a one-year plan, because it’s hard for me and Maddi to even have a one-week plan because everything changes,” Joe confessed to Us. “She’s DJing. Someone could call and be like, ‘Hey, we need you to DJ.’ And two days later [she’s there].”

During season 3 of Southern Hospitality, Joe and Maddi had a fake wedding in Las Vegas. He proceeded to ask Maddi when they would move in together, which made her panic. She expressed her hesitations, and by the season finale, which aired on Thursday, they were back on the same page.

Southern Hospitality’s Maddi Reese Talked to Joe About Leaving Charleston

“If you were to tell me a year ago or a year and a half ago [that] I would be in love and together with Maddi, I would call you crazy,” Joe reflected. “We live this crazy life. I think it’s smarter for me right now just to take it day by day.”

He continued, “We’re never going to be that couple that has a five-year plan, but my plan is just to keep doing what we’re doing and being happy and I know I’m going to propose. I just don’t know when.”

Joe also revealed that despite wanting to be close to Maddi, he’s learned that they need space at times — and he doesn’t want to pressure her, ever.

“This summer [we were] definitely in the honeymoon phase where I’m like, ‘Oh, Maddi’s just now going on the road. I don’t want her to be alone,’” he recalled of wanting to be by Maddi’s side.

Southern Hospitality’s Maddi Says Gay Rumors About Joe Delayed Their Romance

As Maddi grew “more comfortable” being on the road, Joe said they are both OK not traveling together for every performance. He explained that when he opens his own business — he wants to start his own bar — he hopes Maddi will return the favor and be his “hype girl,” calling that “love.”

When it comes to their future, Joe teased, “No one’s going to lock down Maddi Reese. No, she’ll lock me down. I will not lock her down.”

Jonathan Van Ness Says He 'Has a Crush' on this Star’s New Haircut

Us Weekly News

By: Molly McGuigan

8 March 2025 at 06:00

Even Jonathan Van Ness has his fangirl moments.

“I really have a crush on Emma Stone’s new haircut,” the Queer Eye star told Us when asked about his celebrity crush in the latest issue of Us Weekly as part of our “Just Like Us” feature. “It’s so good. I’m obsessed.”

Stone, 36, debuted her new ‘do at the 2025 Golden Globes in January, showing off her pixie cut on the red carpet. The actress’ stylist and OLAPLEX Global Ambassador Tracey Cunningham described the cut as “like Mia Farrow,” adding, “she basically has no hair. It’s super short, and she’s going to have it cut again, so it’ll be even shorter.”

As Queer Eye’s grooming expert — and the founder of his own hair care line, JVN Hair — Van Ness, 37, knows a thing or two about hair. And the “Getting Curious” podcast host underwent a transformation himself recently.

“Was feeling like a change ,” he wrote via Instagram on February 6, debuting a lighter hair color. “Y’all I haven’t gotten my hair color done since like 2011?”

Aside from crushing on celebs’ auburn locks, hosting a podcast and starring on Queer Eye, Van Ness keeps himself busy by doing stand-up comedy — including a performance at the Lil Rhody Laugh Riot comedy festival on March 29 in Providence, Rhode Island among legends like Kevin Hart and Leslie Jones.

“I love the art of [stand-up],” Van Ness told Us. “It’s really exciting being able to just have a microphone and your set to try to make people laugh. It’s one of the oldest art forms.”

He added: “I feel really honored that people want to come see me and my shows and see what I have to say. … I feel the most alive and the most myself on stage.”

While we’re excited for his comedy set, Us was curious about the Queer Eye star’s life off the road, at home with husband Mark Peacock. We put him to the test — keep scrolling to find out how Van Ness is just like Us:

Queer Eye's Jonathan Van Ness Addresses Claims About Their On-Set Behavior

Us: What was the last thing you ordered online?

Jonathan: A Diptyque candle. Trigger city. They’re so good. Obsessed. You only buy it online if you know what fragrance you like, but we are creatures of habit.

Us: What is one bad habit you’re trying to break?

Jonathan: Scrolling for way too long. That [TikTok] algorithm is very, very mean. [It] very much gets me.

Us: What was the last thing you waited in line for?

Jonathan: TSA. I’m always in an airport line, like, all the time.

Us: What was the last thing you streamed?

Jonathan: Probably the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life. I can’t believe I watched it for as long as I did. The Land of Bad on Netflix. A little rough. Those Netflix f—ing movies get me every time.

Us: When was the last time you did laundry?

Jonathan: It’s been a minute.

Us: Who was the last person you texted?

Jonathan: My endorsements agent. I texted her, “Butt dial second time dance emoji,” and that’s because I had called her once on purpose, but then I butt-dialed her the second time and I didn’t want her to think that I was crazy double calling.

Jonathan Van Ness Talks Haircare and Styling Tips, Confidence and More

Us: What are the last couple songs you’ve streamed on Spotify or Apple Music?

Jonathan: It’s definitely the Wicked soundtrack the whole way through. That’s all I really want to listen to all the time. I’m obsessed with “Dancing Through Life.” I love “No One Mourns the Wicked.” I love “Defying Gravity,” obviously, but “I’m Not That Girl” is probably my favorite. I also really like “What Is This Feeling?”

Us: Do you have a secret celebrity crush?

Jonathan: I feel like everybody knows who my crushes are. I really have a crush on Emma Stone’s new haircut. It’s so good. I’m obsessed.

Us: What is the last piece of celebrity gossip you shared?

Jonathan: An overwhelming amount of celebrity gossip is not accurate, so I try to stay out of other people’s business. … But [U.S. Figure Skating Champ] Amber Glenn is slaying so hard right now. She just won her second U.S. national championship. I’m always here for the figure skating situation. I follow that very closely. Honey, we are on it! And the Australian Open. Queen Madison Keys and Danielle Collins. I was so into her just telling that crowd to f— off. I love Danielle Collins. We follow each other on Instagram, not to name drop. I was all over that.

Us: Who is the last celebrity you asked for a selfie with?

Jonathan: Catherine O’Hara. So good. She was so nice.

Us: What time do you wake up in the morning? How many hours of sleep do you need?

Jonathan: I really need seven to eight [hours] and I wake up between 5:45 a.m. and 6:45 a.m.

Us: What trend are you most sick of right now?

Jonathan: Listicles on TikTok. “Three ways you can blah, blah, blah.” I mean, I get it and I have to make them all the time, but I just wish that people had an attention span that was capable of grasping onto something beyond a listicle. But we love it. We love a good hook.

Us: What do you do that drives your partner crazy?

Jonathan: Asking my husband to crack my feet. But it’s his fault because he taught me that I had this joint in my arch that I’ve never known that I had before and he cracks the s— out of my arches and it feels so good. Now I ask him to do it 80 times a day.

Us: What is the last meal you made for yourself or a loved one and what was it?

Jonathan: I’m obsessed with making this bean stew with jalapeño and tomato paste and beans, and then I cut up sausage in it and rice. It’s gorgeous. But also right now my current fixation that my husband’s making for us all the time is a sloppy joe baked potato. So good.

Which TV Shows Got Canceled Multiple Times Before the Decision Stuck?

Us Weekly News

By: Yana Grebenyuk

8 March 2025 at 05:30

CBS’ S.W.A.T. is just the latest of many shows that went through multiple cancellations before the decision finally stuck.

While most shows on CBS have had exceptional luck, S.W.A.T. was put through the wringer. Based on the 1975 TV show and 2003 film adaptation of the same name, S.W.A.T. centered on the Los Angeles Police Department. Premiering in 2017, Shemar Moore‘s action drama aired six seasons at CBS before it was picked up for a seventh and final run.

CBS ultimately reversed the decision and S.W.A.T. got a season 8. But the celebration didn’t last long, because the network cancelled the show for a second time in March 2025.

“I don’t think you’re making the right choice,” Moore told CBS in an Instagram video at the time. “Hey Netflix, how you doing? Let me just remind you that in a very short period of time, once upon a time ago … it only took us about two weeks to go from No. 15 … to No. 1. And then we stayed in your top 10, top 15 for about six months, nine months, maybe a year. So Netflix, if you’re interested in a show that is on autopilot that the world is watching, we’d love to come play.”

He continued: “NBC, Fox, ABC, hey, you want to come flirt with me? You’re invited to the barbecue. Pick your favorite restaurant. I will pay the bill. Trust me, all of us, the family over at SWAT, we ain’t done chasing bad guys and [performing] helicopter chases and motorcycle chases and car chases and blowing up stuff. We ain’t done.”

S.W.A.T. is one of several shows to be put in TV limbo over the years. Nashville, Baywatch, 7th Heaven and more were dropped by their respective networks before gaining a second chance and then getting canceled again. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the biggest TV losses:

‘The X-Files’ — The supernatural series ran from 1993 to 2001 before Fox decided to cancel the beloved cult-hit show after its ninth season. The X-Files was revived in 2016 — and most of the original cast returned — but it only lasted two seasons before another cancellation.

‘Baywatch’ — When NBC originally debuted Baywatch in 1989, the show only lasted one season. An overhaul brought Baywatch back in 1991 in syndication and it ran for 10 more seasons before being rebranded as Baywatch: Hawaii. The choice cost Baywatch more seasons because it was ultimately canceled in 2001.

‘Community’ — After five seasons — and numerous issues behind the scenes — Community was canceled by NBC in 2014. The quirky college comedy was picked up later for a sixth season by Yahoo! Screen in 2015 but then it was confirmed that wouldn't lead to more renewals in the future.

‘Timeless’ — NBC canceled Timeless one season in but three days later reversed the decision. The second season led to another cancellation before NBC gave Timeless a two-part season finale in 2018.

‘Designated Survivor’ — The disaster-drama show starring Kiefer Sutherland began on ABC in 2016 and aired two seasons before getting canceled. Netflix picked the show up for a third season but was canceled again after that.

‘7th Heaven’ — The family drama aired for 10 seasons before it was canceled at The WB. Once The WB became The CW, the network gave 7th Heaven another season before it was canceled for good in 2007.

‘Nashville’ — Nashville was pulled by ABC after its fourth season in 2016 until a fan campaign led to it being revived on CMT. This allowed the country-music drama to air two more seasons before being canceled for good.

‘The Killing’ — AMC canceled The Killing in its second season but Netflix revived it for two more seasons. AMC was included in the initial deal to air season 3 of the crime drama but pulled out by the final season in 2014.

Jenna Elfman Recalls Minnie Driver's Support After Forgetting Her Lines

Jenna Elfman’s most embarrassing on-set moment came when she was filming Grosse Pointe Blank in the ‘90s — but luckily Minnie Driver came to the rescue.

“[On] my very first feature film, Grosse Pointe Blank, I was on set all day and then it was finally time for my scene and I couldn’t remember any of my lines,” Elfman, 53, reveals exclusively in her 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “We had to get out of there to get John Cusack, who had to go to a film premiere or something. So I knew all my lines the whole day until I had to know my lines. And then I couldn’t remember any of my lines.”

Luckily, the actress recalls, her costar was there to help her through the crisis.

“Minnie Driver helped me so much,” she told Us. “It was my first time doing a movie and she was like, ‘You’re just gonna look at me. Say the line.’ She had my back and was just such a lovely, kind, patient person with me on that day.”

She continued: “Still to this day when we see each other at events, we [say] we were bonded by that scene.”

Keep scrolling for more fun, behind-the-scenes stories from Elfman, who stars on season 3 of Dark Winds, premiering Sunday, March 9, at 9:00 p.m. ET on AMC and AMC+:

1. My childhood nickname was Mack. My gymnastics coach gave it to me and to this day, I don’t have any idea [why].

2. I keep my Golden Globe award in my office on the bookshelf.

3. What I loved most about Dharma & Greg is that it never felt like work. I felt like I was a kid that was playing in her sandbox of imagination and getting to do all the things that I genuinely enjoyed. It felt like a real connection to my inner child.

4. The craziest thing I saw on tour with ZZ Top [in 1994] was an 8-year-old [kid] on his dad’s shoulders in the front row of a concert while I was in my outfit, which was minimal. I [thought], “I need to be done with this tour now.”

5. The props I took home from Fear the Walking Dead are a bracelet with the infinity symbol and the leather necklace with the metal round loop that I wore in the final season. I just happened to see these in my set bag the other day when I was cleaning out my closet. I have weird things in my set bag because we were always on location in the middle of nowhere. Every project has its own little universe around it, what’s needed as little support points for the character and the narrative. Every show I do is like its own painting. So for an artist, every painting you use different kinds of paints. You want a different environment that you’re working in. You listen to different music for each painting, different light and different rooms. It’s kind of the actor version of that.

6. As a Los Angeles native, I am very, very happy at Dodger Stadium. I love the Dodgers, the stadium and [even] parking there.

7. I want to work with Quentin Tarantino badly.

8. I love interior decorating a lot and I’m kind of good at it.

9. My first car was a gold Chevy Cavalier station wagon that my mom and dad passed down to me.

10. The song that brings back potent teenage memories for me is “Hold Me Now” by the Thompson Twins.

11. My first job was bagging groceries at Hughes Market in Northridge, California.

12. I hold on to clothes and my favorite is a maroon JW Anderson jacket that I love.

13. The famous face I’m most commonly mistaken for is Rosamund Pike.

14. The childhood memory that makes me smile is laying on the driveway with my dad and handing him tools while he worked on a ’67 Chevy Malibu engine.

15. I like to cleanse my mental palette by daydreaming. I’ll sit on the couch and stare out the window at the view. I love to let myself drift in my mind.

16. My most embarrassing moment on set was on my very first feature film, Grosse Pointe Blank. I was on set all day and then it was finally time for my scene and I couldn’t remember any of my lines. We had to get out of there to get John Cusack, who had to go to a film premiere or something. So I knew all my lines the whole day until I had to know my lines.

Connie Britton Takes Us Back to Her Biggest On and Off-Screen Moments

17. The actresses I looked up to growing up were Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett.

18. The proudest moment of my career was Dharma & Greg being so successful. It was in every country and it resonated and brought so much joy. I would get fan mail from so many countries of how it made people happy. I feel very proud that I am infusing joy into people’s homes.

19. If I could only watch one movie for the rest of my life, it would be It Happened One Night.

20. The project I’d like to revisit is Keeping the Faith. I’d love to do more scenes with Edward Norton and Ben Stiller. They’re such competent actors.

21. My most starstruck moment was when I was walking down Sunset Boulevard in the ’90s and saw Jean Reno. I couldn’t withhold myself from walking up to him at his table and gushing. He was kind but [eventually] was like, “OK, I’m going to get back to my lunch now.”

22. My favorite comfort meal is pizza with black olives from a famous pizza place in Austin, Texas, on South Congress.

23. My craziest fan interaction was when they followed me into the bathroom at an event and asked me through the crack of the stall for a photo. I said, “Might I please just finish using the restroom first, and then we can talk about it outside?”

24. My favorite book is She’s Come Undone. I couldn’t believe it was written by a man — it’s so nuanced to the female psyche. I love every book I read so much because they impinge on a different part of my soul.

25. I want to go to Croatia with my sons and my sister. We’re due for a trip, and have distant relatives there because my dad’s side is Croatian.

Windy City Rehab’s Alison Victoria Reflects on Her ‘Dreamy’ Chicago Home

Windy City Rehab’s Alison Victoria is ready to bid a fond farewell to her Chicago dream home.

The HGTV star confirmed in the latest issue of Us Weekly that her property has been listed on the market for $2.9 million more than two and half years after she transformed the space.

“Having 7,000 square feet to yourself seems opulent and dreamy, but in reality, it became a bit lonely, so I decided to downsize and find something that suited my lifestyle better,” Victoria, 43, exclusively told Us. “I travel so much for work and wasn’t really there to enjoy it as much as the space deserves to be enjoyed.”

Now, Victoria hopes someone can live in the home full-time and “enjoy every square inch of sexiness and sophistication.”

HGTV Star Alison Victoria's Getting-Ready Routine Includes Lots of Laughter

“When I purchased the property and had it as my office and design center for years, I would always sit in there and think about how dreamy this space would be as someone’s home,” she told Us. “When I had the opportunity to turn it into that, my dreams truly came true.”

In 2023, fans watched the Briefly Gorgeous Productions founder transform her office and design center in Chicago’s West Logan Square into the ultimate live-work space on the HGTV special Windy City Rehab: Alison’s Dream Home.

As her business empire continues to grow with the launch of Sin City Rehab, Victoria can’t help but reflect on all the happy memories she created in her “dreamy” Chicago space.

“When I was there, I literally never left,” she said. “Everything you could ever want all under one roof makes that very easy to do.”

The next lucky buyer will experience plenty of special touches, including a bar that feels like a “speakeasy in Paris.”

After stepping into the master bedroom, the next homeowner will enjoy a main bathroom that feels like you are escaping to Victoria’s favorite resort in Mykonos, Greece.

“The heated marble herringbone floors spill into the wet room floors with an accent wall of raw stacked stones and the most beautiful blush, neutral tones,” she described.

And whether snow days or heat waves are your preferred weather, Victoria believes all guests will enjoy the home’s atrium fireplace.

“Living in Chicago is tough and rough during the winter months, so I wanted to create an indoor space that felt like you were always outdoors,” she said. “The heated black-and-white marble floors and the custom spool married so beautifully with the original brick walls. The fireplace is the perfect spot to cozy up while the snow falls on the eight massive pyramid skylights above.”

In an Instagram video posted on March 6, the Duchess of Sussex shared a video of her baking thumbprint cookies for Drew Barrymore. Joined by a few friends as well as her kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, Markle kept with her classic, quiet luxury aesthetic, wearing an oversized white shirt with rolled sleeves and adding a stack of bracelets.

The As Ever founder’s ensemble quickly sparked our memory of a bestselling Amazon shirt that looks eerily similar — and, even better, it’s on sale now for 33% off.

Lady Gaga Says She ‘Had Psychosis’ 5 Years Ago: ‘Took Me Out of Life’

Us Weekly News

By: Erin Doyle

8 March 2025 at 02:01

Lady Gaga is getting candid about her struggles with mental health.

Speaking on “The Interview” podcast from The New York Times on Saturday, March 8, the singer, 38, shared her experience of not being in a great place mentally.

“[Five years ago], I had psychosis. I was not deeply in touch with reality for a while,” she told the podcast. “It took me out of life in a big way, and after a lot of years of hard work I got myself back.”

Gaga (whose real name is Stefani Germanotta) admitted it was a difficult period of her life, but she shared how it led to a “special” moment between herself and her now-fiancé Michael Polanksy.

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky Are in a 'Better Place' After 'Some Issues'

“It was a hard time, and it was actually really special when I met my partner because when I met Michael, I was in a much better place, but I remember him saying to me, pretty early on, ‘I know you could be a lot happier than you are,’” Gaga said.

The “Blade of Grass” singer continued: “It was really hard for me to hear him say that because I didn’t want him to think that of me. I wanted him to think I was like this happy, totally together person.”

Gaga explained that her mental health experience was a topic she often found hard to broach.

“It’s something that I have found increasingly harder to talk about,” she said. “I hate feeling defined by it. It felt like something I felt ashamed of. But I don’t think that we should feel ashamed if we go through times like that. I mostly just wish to say, it can get better. It did for me, and I’m grateful for that.”

Gaga and Polansky first went public with their relationship in 2019 and confirmed their engagement in July 2024.

During the podcast, the singer raved about Polansky, gushing, “From the moment that I met Michael, he had the most warm and kind disposition of maybe anyone that I had met in my whole life.”

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky's Relationship Timeline

Meanwhile, Polanksy spoke about the difficulty of dating someone in the public eye when he made rare comments on the couple’s relationship in ELLE’s February 2025 issue.

“Accepting that you won’t have the privacy others might have was the hardest part,” Polansky said of adjusting to his fiancée’s fame. “But Stefani’s comfort with it and patience with me has been amazing. Our relationship is probably a lot like everyone else’s. We just have to figure out how to do some of it in public. That makes it even more important for us to have strong friendships and close family relationships. We find normalcy where we can.”

Why MGK Thinks Birth of Baby With Megan Fox Will Be 'Bittersweet'

Machine Gun Kelly is sharing his grief over the death of his friend, Luke ‘The Dingo’ Trembath in a heartfelt tribute.

The singer, 34, shared a touching tribute to the late Australian snowboarder via Instagram on Friday, March 7.

In the emotional caption, Kelly (real name Colson Baker) opened up about how much Trembath meant to him and went on to explain why his death will add a “bittersweet” element to the upcoming birth of his child with ex Megan Fox. (Trembath died in February at age 38. His cause of death was not disclosed.)

“Crazy…i didn’t even cry this hard when my dad died. I’ve lost a lot of friends, but I’ve never lost a brother,” Kelly wrote along a carousel of images of the longtime friends over the years. “We’ll never get another Dingo on this planet. A true rockstar without ever needing to make a song, the most loyal, loud, charismatic, funny, and annoying human I’ve ever had the honor of knowing.”

How MGK and Megan Fox Are Coping With Split Amid Pregnancy

Kelly shared how hard it was to break the news of Trembath’s death to his daughter, Casie, 15, with whom the snowboarder seemingly formed a bond with. (Kelly shares Casie with ex Emma Cannon.)

“Telling my daughter you’re gone was one of my hardest phone calls, because she loved you so much. And I’ll never forget when she was too young to understand your name was Dingo so she called you Ping Pong,” Kelly reflected.

He added, “I feel like you’re up there with my new child, dressed up in a hilarious costume making them laugh, getting ready to send them down. I couldn’t ask for a more bittersweet birth blessing.”

Concluding the post, Kelly wrote. “Life will always be less without you, but legends never die. we’ll all miss you brother. DINGO FOREVER. EST 4Life.”

Machine Gun Kelly Breaks Silence on Expecting 1st Baby With Megan Fox

Kelly and Fox are currently expecting their first child together. The pair quietly broke up in November 2024, shortly after the Transformers actress announced her pregnancy. Fox is already mom to three sons: Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, 8, whom she shares with ex-husband Brian Austin Green.

The former couple has broken up several times since they first got together after connecting in 2020 while working together on the film Midnight in the Switchgrass. However, their most recent split appears to be for good and Fox is putting her energy on maintaining a healthy pregnancy.

“Megan is moving forward independently and is not interested in revisiting the past,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in February. “Megan is focused on her pregnancy and not looking back. She is deeply hurt by how things ended but is focusing on healing.”

Brittany Cartwright Dives Deep on Jax Taylor’s Cocaine Addiction on Podcast

Us Weekly News

By: Erin Crabtree

7 March 2025 at 21:07

Brittany Cartwright spoke at length about Jax Taylor’s cocaine addiction on the estranged couple’s “When Reality Hits” podcast.

Cartwright, 36, addressed the topic during the Friday, March 7, episode of the podcast.

“No one wants Jax to be better more than I do, let’s be real. I tried and tried and tried for years to help this man get better and for us to be a happy family, I was deeply and madly in love with him, there’s no one that can ever deny that. You know? My love was real,” she said. “And I tried very, very hard to make sure that — especially after we had our son — that he was getting the help he needed.”

Cartwright said she took issue with the way Taylor framed the story of why he chose to go back to rehab. Taylor claim that seeing his son Cruz, 3, in the backseat of the car while he and Cartwright were fighting was the catalyst.

Cartwright claimed that that part wasn’t the only reason and Taylor was instead motivated to get clean because he was at risk of losing his job. She added she was upset that he wasn’t motivated stay sober for her and their son.

She recalled the incident in question being yelled at in the car by Taylor after a night out as they made their way to a doctor’s appointment for Cruz.

“Before a guy even texted my phone, he was already at my throat, already making me cry and I was in the car for at least 30 minutes at that point. We almost pulled over so I could get out and call an Uber and put me and Cruz in an Uber. Like, it was bad,” she said.

Cartwright claimed a text from another man popped up on her phone, escalating the situation.

“He loses it. He starts trying to grab my phone and Cruz is in the backseat in his car seat. That alone is horrible. So he’s reaching over, grabbing my phone, yelling at me, saying all this stuff. Then he started saying the most despicable things you could ever say to your ex.”

Cartwright added during the podcast that it was hard for her to hear Taylor claiming he’s turning over a new leaf given how he has treated her.

“This is horrible, he has not changed. He’s trying to act in public like he’s this mental health advocate and this and that and he’s so much better and he’s giving all these excuses and doing all these victim mentality things,” she said. “And I was like, ‘it’s not fair. I am being yelled at and this is a struggle on my everyday life.’ I was like, ‘Something has to be done.’”

Earlier this week, Taylor, 45, revealed his cocaine addiction during the Tuesday, March 4, episode of Alex Baskin’s “Hot Mic” podcast.

“I have substance issues — primarily with cocaine. It’s hard to say out loud,” he shared. “I’ve been dealing with this on and off since I was 23 and now I’m 45. There was times where I would stop doing it but then there were times where I’d go heavy on it.”

What Jax Taylor's 'VPR' Costars Have Said About His Cocaine Addiction

Taylor divulged that he recently stopped drinking alcohol to help him stay clean from cocaine.

“People ask you, ‘Do you have an alcohol problem too?’ I don’t necessarily think I have an alcohol problem but the two go hand in hand,” he said. “I can’t do cocaine without drinking. So I just gave up both. I’m proud to say I’m 83 days sober right now, which is the longest I’ve ever gone in my life without either.”

Taylor subsequently shared an exclusive statement with Us Weekly.

“For many years I’ve depended on alcohol and drugs as a way to cope and mask many deeper issues,” he said on Tuesday. “This past year has been the hardest year of my life but also the most eye opening and transformative. Coming to terms with my many mental health challenges and being honest about my addiction — both with myself and others — has been a crucial part of my healing. It’s been a day-by-day process, but I’m committed to my recovery and working towards a healthier future in order to be a better person and someone my son will be proud of one day.”

Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright’s Ups and Downs Over the Years

Shortly after Taylor’s admission, Cartwright broke her silence on Taylor’s interview. (She announced their separation in February 2024 after nearly five years of marriage and filed for divorce that August; the pair share son Cruz, 3.)

“I’m glad that he finally admitted to what was really going on,” Cartwright said in a statement to People on Tuesday. “For the first time, I can speak openly about the extent of trauma he’s instilled on our family over the years.”

She added: “I’ve tried desperately to help him without success. I pray that one day he completely knocks this addiction, but I’m skeptical. His behaviors are still alarming and his treatment plan seems to be the bare minimum.”

Later that day, Cartwright defended the years she spent with Taylor despite his addiction.

“And to those asking why I stayed if I knew he had a problem all these years. You can’t help who you fell in love with,” she wrote via her Instagram Story on Tuesday. “I’ve done absolutely everything in my power to get him the help he desperately needed. Unfortunately, I was naïve and believed his empty promises and his pleads to change for years.”

Cartwright concluded: “Once you have a child with someone, it’s not easy to leave. It took everything in my power to gather the strength to walk away. For those that have been through similar, you get it. For those that question me … that’s OK. I’m in a much better place now.”
