“My stepdad’s been gone for two years and I’m still getting hate comments,” Weslie, 16, said in a Friday, January 10, Instagram video. “It’s just complicated and for no reason. It’s not just a social media gig; this is literally my life. I’m so sick of getting hate comments and seeing my mom get hate for literally losing the person that she loves and I have siblings. This is their dad — this is who they’re gonna grow up and they’re gonna see all this on social media that’s so hurtful.”
Holker, 36, was married to Boss from 2013 to 2022, when he died by suicide at age 40. In addition to Weslie, they shared son Maddox, 8, and daughter Zaia, 5. (According to Weslie, she was never legally adopted by Boss, though she says he “literally raised” her.)
“I get that my relationship with Stephen seems complicated, but this man raised me my entire life — since I was 1,” Weslie explained. “I have a biological dad [and] I have a relationship with him, but Stephen was the person that raised me. He literally raised me and it’s hurtful to see… so many new stories. It’s so much more complicated and I don’t know how to explain it well.”
She added, “This is my dad, this is not, like, a joke to me. For 13 years, my parents were together, and for 13 years he was the person that I would go to about everything. He’s the person that I would cry to. He would wake me up every morning, we’d get breakfast and he was the person I’d see when he’d get home from work. We lived in the same four walls and now I’m getting hate for him leaving — and I don’t get it. It’s hurtful.”
Holker’s upcoming memoir, set to be released later this year, has made waves amongst Boss’ family and friends. After Peoplepublished an interview with Holker regarding her book, many members of his family slammed the Dancing With the Stars alum for writing about Boss’ alleged addiction struggles and publishing his private journals. Holker, meanwhile, has denounced the accusations and stated that her “only intention” is to raise awareness for those with similar substance abuse and mental health issues. She also says she plans to donate all book proceeds to a nonprofit founded in Boss’ honor.
“I see people saying it’s not my place because I’m not his biological daughter, but he never made me feel like anything besides his daughter — and I think that speaks to who he was,” Weslie said of her decision to speak out in the wake of the online backlash and criticism towards her mother. “Nobody’s sitting up here trying to bash him, like, he was a good person.”
She continued, “I’m still trying to be respectful to everybody. I’m just so over, for instance, his family, everyone’s headlining now — and these are big players in my life and big players in my siblings’ life and my mom’s life. These are all people I’ve grown up with. And to see them now … it’s like, I don’t know. I’m trying to be respectful but it’s complicated because I speak to Stephen’s mom weekly at some point.”

According to Weslie, she would only see Boss’ family “once or twice a year” while he was still alive.
“But, you guys have to understand that it’s because they live in another state and we literally live in another state,” she explained. “It’s not, like, we’re neighbors. It’s not, like, we could just see them whenever we wanted, and now my mom’s constantly making the effort so the kids are a part of their lives. I don’t make the effort, but that’s just how I am.”
Weslie now claims that she feels “disrespected by them” and no longer wants to be in communication.
“They’ve gone on social media saying that ‘Blood’s thicker than water,’ and that’s a direct [hit to] me and my mom,” she alleged. “And if you don’t see me as Stephen’s daughter, that’s cool, take it how you want. I know for a fact that’s never how he saw it, and it’s literally just hurtful. … I’ve slowly started to remove myself from [them] because they don’t make me feel comfortable, and my mom’s the one making the effort and feeling like it’s a need and a necessity to see them because she cares.”
Boss’ family also claimed that Holker made everyone sign a nondisclosure agreement before attending his 2022 funeral service.
“Y’all love to argue about the NDAs,” Weslie explained. “But in one day, we had an open casket, like, viewing for Stephen. We had a funeral, and then we had a week, and my mom asked for NDAs to be signed when we were seeing Stephen’s body because God forbid somebody that went to that took a photo of Stephen and put it on the internet or shared it with somebody else. That’s the type of thing that NDAs are for. It’s not so you can never talk about Stephen.”
Weslie added, “I’m fed up because NDAs are so important, and if you guys don’t agree, that’s cool. I’m grateful for my mom making sure that everybody signed NDAs, and she put up that rule.”
Holker was apparently “lenient” with her NDA request, according to the teenager.
“She understands at the end of the day, like, this is family,” Weslie stated. “So y’all want to disrespect her [while] she’s still nice, she’s still kind, she’s still forgiving, but you have to know, like, even when Stephen was alive people that attended our events, they would have to sign NDAs. But now, just because it’s my mom handing the paper, it’s different and it’s just annoying. Like, for that whole day was supposed to be beautiful, and instead, it was less than that. We were gonna say our goodbyes, and instead, people were yelling at each other and bashing my mom and, like, that’s a day that’s taken away from her — she can’t remember it as being the day that we all wanted to be because his family was making it otherwise.”

Weslie further denounced claims that Holker is “money hungry” or seeking “more fame.”
“That’s not how my mom is. Trust me when I say my mom is good — she doesn’t need [money],” Weslie said. “It’s just disappointing. … My mom’s made her efforts [with his family]. She’s tried for as long as she could, but this is the kind of turning point where it’s like, this stops like, it’s beyond, just like, trying to maintain a relationship now it’s like y’all burn bridges and literally it’s OK.”
Weslie further implored her followers to “leave the family alone.”
“I’m not a person to sit up here and cry. I’m not going to be here and get emotional. But like, y’all could not just leave somebody passing away and leave the family alone?” she said. “Like, Oh my gosh, you guys just have to add to it for what, like, I don’t know, and it’s just it’s disappointing because if all of you say that you held him in such high regard, like, this is not the type of family dynamic we had and whatever y’all want to push on social media, like, I’m gonna grow up seeing it like my siblings are gonna grow up seeing it. Also, they’re gonna have to form their own opinion of who their dad was and we only speak about him in such a beautiful light. I loved him. I have nothing negative to say about him.”

The first season of On Call had Us on the edge of our seats — but where does the Wolf Entertainment police procedural go from here?
On Call, which premiered on Thursday, January 9, centered around veteran training officer Traci Harmon (Troian Bellisario) and her rookie partner Alex Diaz (Brandon Larracuente) as they responded to emergency calls on the streets of Long Beach, California. Their partnership came on the heels of a major loss for Harmon and it took an entire season for her and Diaz to start to trust each other.
The Prime Video series found a way to click restart on the dynamic when Harmon ultimately didn’t recommend that Diaz progress. Instead, she caused him to restart rookie training — with her. Viewers also learned more about Sergeant Lasman (Eriq LaSalle) and Lieutenant Bishop (Lori Loughlin) after initially questioning whether they were friends or foes.
“We want so many different kinds of people — who have many different views about the police — to come to this show. And we want them to take away what they take away,” Bellisario exclusively told Us Weekly. [“Executive producer] Elliot [Wolf] put it really well. He’s like, ‘We want to create a buffet and we want everybody to come to the table and eat together.’ That’s the thing. We’re not going to say, ‘Oh, you have that idea, so you’re not welcome here.’ You have that idea so you won’t like this show.’ You will see people make incredible decisions [on screen]. You’ll see us make mistakes. Nobody is a hero. And these are human beings — they just so happen to be doing this job.”
“At least from my own experience, the show left me with more questions than real answers. I hope that that’s what audiences experience as well,” he noted. “By the end of it, we’re not really trying to paint any narrative. … Hopefully audience members can relate to one of the characters [on the show] in some way, shape or form.”
The cast and creator Tim Walsh answered some burning questions about season 1 — and where the story would go from here:
Where Do Harmon and Diaz Go From Here?
Elizabeth Morris/Amazon MGM Studios
During the season 1 finale, Harmon recommended that Diaz be put on probation, which reunited them as partners. The decision shook up their dynamic — but it is a step in the right direction in the long term.
“Harmon made that choice because first and foremost, she doesn’t want to lose him. She’s starting to feel — there’s nothing romantic between them — but she is like a mama bear and this is her cub. So over the course of season 1, they’ve just grown closer,” Walsh explained to Us. “She did that because in her heart of hearts, she does believe Diaz is not ready to move on because he has a hero complex. She does not want to see him get hurt like Officer Delgado. Her feelings are genuine but it also feels like a mother that does not want to be separated from her child just yet.”
“She cares about him and that’s what makes her different than maybe somebody else that he would’ve been paired with. The fact that after just losing somebody in the very first episode, she chooses to work with Diaz who is a rookie is a testament to her character,” he noted. “Before Diaz steps back into that vehicle at the very end of the episode, I think he has a real question.”
Larracuente continued: “The question that runs through his mind is, ‘Can I trust this person?’ He finally realizes, ‘Holy s—, this entire time she’s cared about me. Everything she’s done has just been to protect me and I see it now.'”
Meanwhile for Bellisario, the point of the twist was showing how much Harmon still has left to teach.
“Any good teacher knows when they haven’t done their job — and that’s actually not a failing on Diaz’s part. He takes it as his own failing. But actually Harmon sees it as a shortcoming on her part. She didn’t do enough or she didn’t set him up and she still has more work to do,” she told Us. “She obviously believes in him. She cares deeply and she wants to see him through into his career.”
Could Things Turn Romantic Between Harmon and Diaz?
Amazon MGM Studios
There were no hints that Harmon and Diaz could become a couple in the future — but what is the plan behind the scenes?
“The romantic thing complicates it and lends itself to maybe a little bit more predictability. Whereas here we don’t have to fall into any of those traps or tropes,” Walsh teased to Us. “They can just be literally two coworkers. They are two coworkers who are bound by the idea that they have to look out for each other and have to survive this next shift. I think adding a romance would just complicate it more. The other way allows us to be more free and deepen the two characters.”
Who Is a Dream Guest Star?
Notable guest stars in season 1 included Chicago Fire‘sMonica Raymund, Ryan Dorsey and Bart Johnson. Walsh named Kurt Russell as his dream cameo in the future, joking, “If I could get Kurt Russell in this, I could die very, very happy.”
Will Other Characters Take the Lead in Season 2?
Elizabeth ‘Liz’ Morris
Despite On Call largely staying focused on Diaz and Harmon, there is room to expand — starting with LaSalle and Loughlin’s characters.
“They are firmly a big part of it,” Walsh confirmed. “The short of it is 100 percent. We’ve [already] been cooking on season 2 and ideas and what it’s going to be about [while we wait for an official renewal].”
“We certainly have some runway to see more of the two of us. The interesting thing is all of us fitting in together. How do all these characters come together?” she noted. “They focus a lot on Harmon and Diaz on screen but I think our approach is like, ‘What’s the total picture look like for all of us as characters?’ … There’s so much to explore. But we’re in good hands with good writers so hopefully we’ll move forward.”
La Salle praised On Call for not making Lasman and Bishop “one dimensional,” adding, “By the time you get to the end of this season, there’s some dynamics that have truly changed. That is a great way to set up some great storytelling — should we be so fortunate to get additional seasons.”
He continued: “Lori and I have been just talking and we are interested as actors to see if there’s more interaction between the two of us. We are in sync on a lot of things but we also want to see what we are not in sync on? How do they really feel about each other?”
Could There Be One Chicago Crossovers — Or a Spinoff of ‘On Call’?
Amazon MGM Studios
Before cocreating On Call with Elliot Wolf, Walsh worked on Chicago P.D. but that doesn’t mean the universes will intersect.
“I do not want to do a crossover with any of the existing shows. I do believe we are in our own universe and they’re in their own universe,” he told Us. “However, expanding our universe into other first responders, we’re all very game to doing that. There are paramedics in Long Beach. It depends on how well we can get the message out for people to watch the show.”

Peacock’s The Traitors has way more rules — and production secrets — than some fans may realize.
Inspired by Dutch series De Verraders, The Traitors brings together reality TV stars from different franchises — including Survivor, Big Brother, Real Housewives and more — as they compete in a mafia-style game for up to $250,000. The series premiered in 2023 but has already gone through multiple changes.
“My first idea was to do it on a ship in Australia,” creator Marc Pos recalled to Variety in January 2023. “And if somebody had to be out of the game, he or she had to jump into the water and swim to an island, but then I thought it would be too difficult to produce.”
“The host is not there very much, and has to be careful not to manipulate the game, influence viewers, or spark doubts within the minds of contestants who are in their bubble,” Pos continued. “But when they’re there, they have to be kind of a friendly yet intimidating figure.”
Despite The Traitorsrelying on a shroud of mystery, cast and crew have spoken out about the rules and behind-the-scenes secrets fans aren’t privy to. Keep scrolling for a guide to all the surprising revelations — and perhaps helpful answers to some burning The Traitors questions:
What the Cast Members Know About Each Other
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Casting director Deena Katz confirmed that contestants don’t know who else is on the show until they arrive in Scotland, telling Time in January 2024, “You don’t want them to be able to research each other or talk to each other or form alliances before.”
Season 2 star Sandra Diaz-Twine, meanwhile, explained on the “Reality After Show” podcast at the time that every player was later provided with photos and information on their fellow contestants to help them narrow down who could be a Traitor.
Taking a Personality Test
Euan Cherry/Peacock
During a podcast appearance in January 2024, Mercedes “MJ” Javid recalled taking a 600-question psych evaluation. Executive producer Mike Cotton elaborated to Variety that same month how the tests allow the crew to “see attributes that might make someone a good liar or particularly deceptive.”
“It’s an interesting process. It’s a big group thing,” he explained. “We actually don’t know who the Traitors are until that pick, where Alan walks around and taps them on the shoulder. We watch how they interact when they arrive at the castle. Alan does these chats with them, sitting down and asking them if they’d like to be a Traitor and why. That has a really big bearing on it, as does Alan’s opinion.”
Cotton continued: “It’s almost like a job interview to be a Traitor, and we take all of that into account and decide just before the pick who that should be. We want to make sure we’ve got an interesting mix of characters that will bring their own unique skill set to it.”
Arie Luyendyk, who appeared on the first season, exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2023 about doing “a swim test,” adding, “[It was] to see if we were capable of completing the mission.”
It wasn’t until season 2 that players were able to present their case to Alan about whether they wanted to be a Traitor or Faithful. While viewers at home know who the Traitors are (and how many have been tapped), season 1 star Cirie Fields revealed that other contestants are kept in the dark about crucial details.
“We knew that there could potentially be three to five Traitors in the game,” Cirie told E! News in January 2023 . “That was explained to us from the very beginning.”
The Drink Limit
Euan Cherry/Peacock
According to season 2 star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, the endless drinks seen on screen actually come with strict guidelines.
“You can only drink one drink a night anyway, it was quite restricted,” she told Entertainment Weekly in January 2024. “I remember everyone needed a drink from that round table, it was really intense.”
The Filming Schedule
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Arie recalled not getting more than six hours of sleep a night. “It takes probably an hour for your brain to kind of shut off,” he told Us in February 2023. “You’re there for so long and it’s one of those things where we probably started at 8 or earlier and we probably were up till about 12 to 2 in the morning, depending on if you’re the Traitor or not, because the Traitors had to do their thing after the whole day was finished.”
In addition to filming long hours, the costars also give away their phones and any other forms of communication.
Taking Up Residence in the Castle
Euan Cherry/Peacock
The hit competition series takes place at the stunning and regal Ardross Castle — but do they actually live there while filming? In short, no.
“How glamorous — you come to Scotland, and you stay in the Inverness Airport hotel,” Alan quipped to The Daily Beast in January 2023 about the actual accommodations offered to the contestants.
Alan, meanwhile, has a large changing room which he sometimes used as a place to take naps during production. But ultimately, even he isn’t able to stay at the castle overnight.
“You’re not supposed to talk about the game when the mics aren’t ready or the cameras aren’t on,” Dan Gheesling from season 2 told Business Insider in February 2024. “Because if we say something that’s important and it’s not on camera, they can’t use it on the show.”
After seeing the response to season 1, producers decided to offer players more room in the castle, including the kitchen and an outdoor terrace, in addition to the library, the billiards room, the bar and the roundtable room.
“We’ve got two new spaces this year,” a producer told Parade in December 2023. “We’re calling one the scullery [basically a kitchen], and then outside there’s a tiny little area that’s called the folley which is a little stone-covered area. It’s brilliant. You can get two or three people sneaking out there, and you get these brilliant conversations.”
Catching a Chill in the Castle
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Several players — including season 1 star Cody Calafiore — have mentioned how cold the castle is. “If they did get the heat working, it would probably be a little bit better,” Cody joked to Reality Blurred in January 2023.
Restrictions on Self-Promotion
Euan Cherry/Peacock
Just because everyone on The Traitors is a star on a reality show doesn’t mean they can promote their brands. Shereé Whitfield from season 2 told People in February 2024 that she was not allowed to wear clothes from her own brand — SHE by Shereé — while on camera.
“They said I could not!” she said about the contract guideline. “You can’t wear your brand.”
“They’re checking on you at all times,” MJ said on the “Just Sayin'” podcast in December 2023. “They’re so cheerful and professional. I felt taken care of at all times.” Meanwhile in a separate interview, Ekin-Su said she once cried “overwhelming tears” to a welfare team member.

“It’s a massive military operation each night to get the Faithful to bed in individual rooms and get the Traitors back out to have their meeting,” creator Cotton told Variety in January 2024 about attempting to preserve the “secrecy of the Traitors.”
Kate Chastain, who appeared on three seasons of The Traitors in various capacities, told Vanity Fair in January 2023 about how security guards were alway around to prevent players from leaving their hotel rooms.
“Once it was clear that I was not getting the big bucks at the end, I was ready to go home because they ran a very tight ship. There were security guards making sure you never left your room. And we had long days, from breakfast to challenge to banishment,” she details. “By the time you got to your bed, you just wanted to go to sleep and sleep for eight hours because I knew it would be the big day the next day. The food in the highlands of Scotland is nothing to write home about, but it was good enough. I really missed martinis. I really missed a little bit of freedom after a while.”
“It got really intense, you know, a lot of crying, a lot of pointing fingers, a lot of below-the-belt stuff that they didn’t show on TV,” Arie told Us in 2023. “I feel like they kind of kept it pretty chill on TV, but I felt like it was in real life a lot more intense. … I think if it got a little too raw or a little too mean, they just omitted it, you know? They kept it more about the game.”
Allowing Couples Into the Competition

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan were the first couple to compete on the show when they joined season 2. (They’ve since split.) But just because they were dating doesn’t mean they were treated like a package deal by production, which meant they had to sleep in separate rooms and were not allowed to communicate with each other.
“Marcus asked me for a nail file, and I put it in a paper bag — and they go through everything, you’re not supposed to send anything back and forth — but he wanted a nail file and I was like, ‘I’m just going to send him a nail file,” she recalled to People. “And then I was like, ‘Oh, there’s a banana. He said he wanted a banana.’ So I [write] ‘I love you’ on the banana and send it to him with the nail file.”
From split pants and broken straps to showing more skin than initially anticipated, stars have had their fair share of cringe-worthy wardrobe malfunctions. And most of the time, it’s all going down in the public eye.
Whether something is snapping on live television or the wind caused a mishap en route to an event, everyone from Lindsay Lohan to Nicki Minajhas found themselves faced with a clothing crisis — but most are able to handle the debacle with ease.
Take Miley Cyrus for example. The singer kicked off 2022 with her NBC New Year’s special. And while her show was going off without a hitch, things took a turn just before midnight.
While in the middle of her “Party in the USA” performance, the strap on her top snapped right off. Rather than stop singing and scuttle off stage, she tossed her shirt aside, covered up her breasts with her arm and strut backstage to change into a blazer.
She even joked about the incident after the fact, taking to Instagram to share a picture of her outfit in its glory. “Get a good look at the top that didn’t stay on very long …” she jokingly captioned her post.
More recently, Justin Timberlake found himself in a fashion faux pas while performing in Nashville, Tennessee, during his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in December 2024. As he strapped into a harness in preparation for his stage to tilt over the audience, fans noticed the safety measure outlined his bulge and the malfunction went viral.
Timberlake later corrected the incident by wearing a noticeably longer shirt during that section of his show.

Glaser brushed off a nip slip while dancing to Taylor Swift’s “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” ahead of hosting the 2025 Golden Globes in January.
In the social media clip, she covered up the incident with text that read, “Oops,” as she thrashed her body around and dramatically danced to the song. Unafraid of the nip slip, Glaser still posted the video on social media and showed off her nude Prabal Gurung gown.
Timberlake accidentally gave fans a look at his manhood while performing on his Forget Tomorrow World Tour in December 2024, when he strapped into a harness on stage. Fans captured the moment and shared it on social media, joking he had a “little” bulge.
Later in his tour, Timberlake exchanged his shirt for a longer one to avoid the mishap.
While making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in June 2024, Johnson’s gold strap broke off of her dress. Kimmel then offered her some Scotch tape to try and fix the strap, but she decided to hold it in place instead as she continued her conversation.
In attempts to show off her toned legs in a cutout denim skirt, Morris accidentally flashed her nude underwear while performing in New Jersey in July 2024.
She later joked about the incident on social media, quipping that she would “frame” the skirt. “Hey guyz anything weird happen?!?!” She captioned the post.
Rodrigo ironically had a fashion faux pas while singing her hit “Love Is Embarrassing” during a May 2024 concert as part of her Guts World Tour. During the song, she could be seen fiddling with her top and motioning for a dancer to come and help. The duo were unable to salvage the corset before they had to get back on the main stage, so Olivia held the number in place before running off stage to change.
Perry’s sculptural Kate Barton top broke off in the middle of judging a contestant on an April 2024 episode of American Idol. She held a pillow to her chest as crew members attempted to reconnect the chain and eventually gave up.
“If it’s not fixed, this show is gonna get more than it wanted,” Perry joked. Unable to reconnect the piece, Perry covered her chest with the pillow for the remainder of the show.
Teigen accidentally split the back of her floral Zuhair Murad gown open after the Baby2Baby Gala in November 2023. By the end of the night, she shared a snap of her broken zipper via Instagram. “Oh lol,” she captioned the post.
The Live With Kelly and Ryan cohost experienced a fashion faux pas in August 2022 after sitting down with guest cohost Carson Kressley. “By the way, my fly is down,” Seacrest confessed before reaching down to adjust his suit.
“What? I guess you’re just happy to see me!” the Queer Eye alum joked, to which Seacrest replied that it was Kressley’s sharp style that caused him to change in such a rush before heading out on stage.
To the rescue! Rachel Zegler revealed that her dress broke at the Critics’ Choice Awards in March 2022 — but she had quite the crew to fix her look.
“My dress broke last night. Lady Gaga, Este Haim and Alana Haim all banded together to temporarily fix it with a hairpin. And I think that’s beautiful,” the West Side Story star tweeted.
Like a pro! The Cinderella star suffered a nip slip while showing off her dance moves during a virtual appearance on The One Show in March 2022.She handled the wardrobe malfunction like an expert though, picking up her shirt and finishing her salsa routine without missing a beat. “I hope you didn’t see nipple,” she quipped at the end of the interview.
Shoe shenanigans! During a January 2022 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the This Is Paris star mistakenly wore two different shoes.
Following the episode, Fallon poked fun at Hilton’s wardrobe malfunction. “When you rush out of the house with the wrong shoes,” he captioned an Instagram post of the reality star walking on stage.
Whoops! The 50 Shades of Grey star wore an itty-bitty Magda Butrem dress on The Late Late Show With James Corden that was a little shorter than originally anticipated.
Upon sitting down, the hem rode up and she was forced to cover her upper thigh with her bare hands. After Corden asked if she wanted his blazer, Johnson comically responded: “I’m ok. It’s nothing nobody hasn’t already seen.”
Handled like a pro! The “Party in the USA” singer’s Akna Store top snapped during her New Year’s Eve special on NBC. After tossing the broken shirt to the side, Cyrus strut backstage for a little outfit change. She reemerged moments later in an oversized Saint Laurent blazer.
The "Good Ones" singer must have been happy that the ARIA Awards in November 2021 weren't live. Charli recorded a video from home presenting an award to Justin Bieber and the Kid La Rai for their single "Stay." After Charli sent her well wishes with a little wave goodbye, the strap of her dress slipped down, exposing her breast (which was censored in the video).
The England native was shocked and quickly laughed off the wardrobe malfunction. She rerecorded her presentation without any nip slips for the actual show, but she couldn't help sharing the hilarious clip via Instagram a few days later.
During his May 2021 performance on Saturday Night Live, the rapper split his pants while singing “Montero (Call Me By Your Name).” Lil Nas X was wearing tight pants and seemed to be about to start an intricate pole dance, but he instead spent the rest of his performance with a hand on his groin to make sure nothing explicit showed on live TV. "I know i do a lot of planned s--t but ripping my pants on live television is not one of them," he tweeted the day after his performance was broadcast.
During The King premiere in London on October 3, 2019, the star of the film stunned in a plunging black and white gown that nearly slipped to reveal a little more than planned before she caught it. For the rest of the red carpet, the young beauty had to continue holding tight onto the ruffled top, just in case.
Yikes! While wearing a powder blue dress on the runway at the Marc Jacobs' NYFW Show on September 11, 2019, the supermodel's heel broke right before hitting the catwalk. But the star handled it like a champ and walked with confidence on her tiptoes to make it look like she was still wearing heels.
On September 12, 2019, the former Simple Life star attended the Kim Kardashian x Winnie Harlow KKW Beauty makeup launch revealing a bit more than she had planned. Wearing a shiny silver dress with daringly high slit that when blown in the wind displayed her lack of undergarments.
While on a trip to Colombia on September 3, the first daughter wore a navy green midi dress with fanned sleeves. While taking some photos with the vice president and minister of national defense, her dress came in contact with a gust of wind, forcing her sleeves to flare upwards making for a zany pic.
At a screening of the film Ad Astra at the Venice Film Festival on August 29, 2019, the former MTV star accidentally flashed a little too much skin while showing off the high slit of her floral dress.
On Sunday, June 16, the "I Like It" singer performed at Bonnaroo and suffered an oopsy costume moment when her mesh jumpsuit split down the middle of her butt. "I just wanna let y’all know that my outfit ripped” the rapper said, according to the Tennessean. But the rapper didn't let that stop her twerking — she simply exited the stage and returned wearing a white bathrobe, which she donned for the rest of the performance.
The KKW Beauty founder is known for her svelte physique, but she shared a brief glimpse of how she maintains that look in January 2019. While walking around Miami with husband Kanye West, Kardashian wore a dress with a high slit that showed the bottom of her beige Spanx. The reality star has been open about her fondness for control underwear, writing on her app in April 2016, “Sometimes I wear two pairs of body shapers on top of each other — especially when I am heavier, I def double it up. They really hold you in and make you feel secure!”
The Duchess of Sussex proved that royals really are just like Us when she deplaned in the Kingdon of Tonga with the tag still attached to her red Self-Portrait dress on Thursday, October 25. Who could blame her for not having time to double check her outfit before heading out? Not only is she pregnant, she's also been on a whirlwind tour for the past two weeks.
The rapper suffered a major wardrobe malfunction at the Made in America festival in Philadelphia on September 2, 2018. "You know what? Let’s go at it. They done saw my nipples at least 50 times tonight," she said onstage at the time.
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star wore a bright yellow skirt with a hip-high slit that revealed her underwear as well as a visible fake tan line in Miami on August 17, 2018.
Cheeky! The Paper Towns star accidentally exposed her underwear to cameras as she tried to interact with fans over a barrier at the London premiere of Pan on Sept. 20.
Perhaps not so much a malfunction as a bold move! On July 5, 2015—days before her Kensington Palace wedding—the heiress attended the Versace show in Paris wearing a white dress with completely see-through panels, one of which revealed her butt!
Eeps! At the Breast Cancer Research Foundation's 2015 Hot Pink Party on April 30, 2015, the Royals actress wore a stunning blush dress… which she lifted just a little too high from behind, revealing her butt cheeks!
The Lip Sync Battle stunner attended the 2015 White House Correspondents' Dinner (April 25, 2015) in a Zuhair Murad dress with a slit so high, it accidentally revealed her teeny undies!
Lawrence looked sophisticated at a party for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay - Part 1 in Nov. 2014, but faced an embarrassing snafu when the top of her white Mugler gown came undone as she left the bash. She held on firmly to her top to avoid a nip slip.
While giggling with her costar Steve Carell at the Hollywood premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day in 2014, Garner's beaded clutch caught one edge of her wrap-style skirt, exposing her shapewear!
Too quick a change! Between performances at the 2014 Video Music Awards, Minaj ran backstage to slip into a new costume—a chic LBD—but not long enough to zip it all the way up! Ever the professional, she just held the teensy frock closed while she continued to sing and dance. (Impressive!)
Someone needs a slip! For the New York premiere of Mademoiselle C in 2013, the Aussie model chose a strategically layered lace top. But when she lifted her arms to fix her hair, Kerr accidentally brought the top piece of her blouse up, exposing her braless body.
While accepting the ShoWest Award for Female Star of the Year in Las Vegas in 2010, one of the straps on Heigl’s dress snapped loose, almost causing a nip slip! Shocked, the State of Affairs star had a hard time finishing her acceptance speech after that.
"This was a small wardrobe malfunction that happens," the Harry Potter star told David Letterman in July 2009 as she held her head in her hands. "At least I'm wearing underwear!" she joked.
Whoops! To avoid slipping up the steps to receive her Best Actress statuette at the 2013 SAG Awards, Lawrence lifted the fabric of her Dior dress, revealing the design’s sheer underlay—and a little leg—in the process.
The wind has never been a friend of Lohan's. The star — who was also photographed getting off a boat sans underwear in 2006 — flashed her slip and black panties after being caught off guard by a heavy breeze at the MTV Movie Awards in L.A. in 2008.
The singer's frilly dress might not have been the best choice for her concert on Good Morning America in September 2008 in NYC's Times Square. A gust of wind blew her dress up, giving the audience a noticeable rear view. She tried her best to hold down her dress and took a short pause before continuing with the show.
This star has problems keeping her clothes on! At Us Weekly's Hot Hollywood party in L.A. in April 2006, the Fantastic Four star nearly lost her little black dress after a strap fell.
The star — who famously revealed more than just a lacy dress in 1992's Basic Instinct — isn't afraid to show some skin, as she did with a sheer dress at an AIDS foundation party in February 2009. "I'm a person who feels that if it's appropriate for the character I'm playing or the mood of the piece, then [nudity is] no big thing," she said.
The “Love” singer was so focused on pumping up her crowd at a Detroit concert in 2013, she didn’t even realize that the crotch of her white overalls had ripped open while she was busting moves! (But she was wearing undies underneath.)
"People act like it was the worst crime in the world. It was a mistake, you know!" Reid — who later corrected her botched boob job in 2006 — said of her major slip at P. Diddy's 35th birthday party in NYC in 2004. "But you would think my boob had popped out and shot Gandhi! My hooters are under control. I'm taped up now, totally. I'm using double tape. Double double tape. My boobs are going nowhere again."
The singer coined the term "wardrobe malfunction" after her infamous performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII in 2004, when Justin Timberlake accidentally removed a piece of her costume. The Federal Communications Commission even took CBS to court, seeking nearly $600,000 in fines for the breast-baring half-time performance.

Holy malfunction, Batman! The actor strolled up to a Suicide Squad premiere after party in August 2016 with the pants of his slate suit both unbuttoned and partially unzipped. His belt was buckled far outside the loops of his pants, and his shirt was half tucked in.
The timeless supermodel fell victim to a wardrobe malfunction when she walked the white carpet at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards in August 2016. While strutting her stuff in a mint-green mini, she accidentally showed off her nude Spanx thanks to her high slit.
Crack kills, Randy! The former American Idol judge flaunted his bare backside — and seemingly forgot to put on his underwear — in a pair of low-hanging jeans during a night out in Hollywood in August 2016.
Holey moley! The Olympic ski racer showed off her tattered workout pants in an August 2016 Instagram post. "I love Mondays...especially when you get to the gym and your trainer starts laughing at you because your dog ate your pants...literally," she wrote at the time.
Oh, Lorde! The "Royals" songstress suffered a nip slip in the Big Apple while walking the carpet at the MAY 2016 Met Gala in a tiered, tulle gown paired with an arm cast.
The pop diva possibly embarrassed daughter Lourdes when the pair sat front row at a 2016 Alexander Wang fashion show in NYC in September 2016. Why? Because Her Madgesty's sheer ensemble exposed her nipples.
During a date night with fiancé James Packer in May 2016, the Elusive Chanteuse wore a plunging LBD which, unfortunately, didn't provide enough coverage to steer clear of a nip slip.
Italian model Giulia Salemi unintentionally showed off her nether regions while walking the red carpet at the 2016 Venice Film Festival in September 2016 in a pink gown that featured an impossibly high slit.
Peekaboo! The Victoria's Secret stunner, who once dated Miley Cyrus, attended a 2016 London Fashion Week event in September 2016 in an incredibly low-cut wrap dress that was apparently not tied tight enough — because she accidentally flashed her right breast to nearby shutterbugs.

For those who started the 2025 by setting their Goodreads goal for the year, Us Weekly has a treat for you.
There are tons of books set to be released this year — in both the fiction and memoir genres — but a few stand out among the rest. Emily Henry is constantly cranking out new books, and this year is no different. Her newest, titled Great Big Beautiful Life, is set to be published in April, just in time for those summer romances.
“What I can tell you about the book is it feels like a spiritual heir to Beach Read, but it’s different,” Henry teased to Us Weekly exclusively last year. “It feels like my first real departure, but it is still both a love story and a romance.”
The author noted that it was a “really emotional” experience writing Great Big Beautiful Life. “It really gripped me in a way that I hadn’t been gripped in a while,” she added.

“It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of my beautiful son @Rorysykes to the Malibu fires yesterday. I’m totally heartbroken,” Rory’s mother, author Shelley Sykes, wrote via X on Thursday, January 9. “[He was a] British-born Australian living in America, a wonderful son, a gift born on mine and his grandma’s birthday 29 July 92.”
Rory, who was best known for his childhood role on England’s Kiddy Kapers series, lived in Los Angeles and worked as a humanitarian, author and motivation speaker. According to Shelley, 62, he “had his own cottage” on their family’s 17-acre Mount Malibu estate.
Shelley further noted in her X tribute that Rory’s house “burnt down” on Wednesday, January 8, in the wildfires.
“I couldn’t put out the cinders on his roof with a hose because the water was switched off by @LVMWD Las Virgenes Municipal Water,” Shelley claimed. “Even the 50 brave firefighters had no water all day! He will be incredibly missed by [his] mama, his pet peacocks Edgee & Mickie and all his online fans around the world!”
A string of wind-induced wildfires broke out on Tuesday, January 7, devastating buildings across the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles. In addition, many locals left the city limits following mandatory or voluntary evacuation orders.
“He said ‘Mum, leave me’ and no mum could leave their kid. I’ve got a broken arm, I couldn’t lift him, I couldn’t move him,” Shelley told local Australian outlet 10 News, noting she drove to a local fire station for assistance. “When the fire department brought me back, his cottage was burnt to the ground.”
Many celebrities lost their homes to the blaze, like Rory’s self-contained house on his family estate. Per the author’s social media obituary, Rory’s cottage was “decked out with all the latest Apple gadgets” that were also lost in the fire.
“[Rory] was the founder with me of @happycharity a true humanitarian. He saw himself as the number one fan of @Apple & @tim_cook and most importantly an avid @RuneScape gamer,” Shelley continued in her X statement, adding that her son was “born blind with cerebral palsy and had difficulty walking.”
She continued, “He overcame so much with surgeries and therapies to regain his sight & to be able to learn to walk. Despite the pain, he still enthused about traveling the world with me from Africa to Antarctica.”
Rory had also overcome his disabilities to have a career as an author and motivational speaker.
“@rorysykes was a sought-after inspirational speaker for @TonyRobbins when he was only 8 years old,” Shelley added. “@CallumsCure book first published by @simonschuster in Australia was about his courage.”

Zendaya and Tom Holland were sure to discuss having children before their recent engagement.
“Tom really wants to have a family, and [he] and Zendaya are on the same page about having kids and wanting to start a family together,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly. The insight comes after Us confirmed on Monday, January 6, that the couple had gotten engaged.
Noting that “Tom is absolutely in love with her,” the insider said that Holland, 28, is “very focused on building a family and his career.” The source continued: “Tom is [a] very old-school English guy in the way that he wants to have a family and have kids relatively young.”
Both actors come from big broods, as Tom is the eldest of his parents Dominic and Nikki Holland’s four sons — including twins Harry and Sam, 25, and Paddy, 20. Zendaya, 28, is the only child of her divorced parents, Kazembe Ajamu Coleman and Claire Stoermer, but has five older siblings from her father’s previous relationship.
Tom opened up about his future fatherhood plans in an interview with Men’s Health earlier this month, revealing he plans to put a pause on acting once he becomes a dad. “When I have kids, you will not see me in movies anymore,” he shared. “Golf and dad. And I will just disappear off the face of the earth.”
News of the couple’s engagement broke one day after Zendaya flashed a diamond ring at the 2025 Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5. “Zendaya tried to keep it a secret but was very excited to show off her ring,” the same source exclusively told Us on Monday. “She didn’t think people would notice but didn’t care either way.”
According to the insider, Tom decided the holidays were “the best time to propose in a very low-key way,” as Zendaya “didn’t want anything over the top.” The source added: “Tom wanted to propose because he feels he is at the right time in his life and feels ready to settle down. They had many conversations over the years, but there was never any pressure. Zendaya is giddy and excited. She knew it might have been coming but never put pressure on it.”

Tom’s father, Dominic Holland, 57, confirmed the engagement news in a Friday, January 10, blog post via his Patreon account, revealing that Tom purchased Zendaya’s ring himself, had “everything planned out” and “had spoken with her father and gained permission to propose to his daughter.”
The Spider-Man costars first sparked romance rumors in 2017, though Zendaya went on to date her Euphoria costar Jacob Elordi from 2019 to 2020. She and Tom rekindled things not long after and their relationship status was confirmed after being spotted kissing in a car in July 2021.
“These two are the real deal,” a separate source exclusively told Us in July 2024. “They started as besties, and that’s [why] their relationship is rock solid … Their families are all in. [They] think they’re perfect together.”
Zendaya put her engagement ring on display while attending a screening of her film Challengers on Monday, using the dazzler to accessorize her black leather blazer and matching tulle skirt. She completed the look with a ponytail hairstyle and bangs as well as a pair of diamond stud earrings.
Jinger Duggar has been honest about the challenges of growing up in the TLC spotlight — and of breaking free from the conservative teachings of her childhood.
Jinger is one of Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar’s 19 children who were raised as followers of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, a fundamentalist organization founded by the controversial leader Bill Gothard. Fans watched along as Jinger and her siblings navigated their daily lives on 19 Kids and Counting, which ran from 2008 to 2015, and the spinoff Counting On, which aired from 2015 to 2021.
After stepping away from the world of reality TV, Jinger began to form her own ideas about faith with the help of her husband, Jeremy Vuolo, whom she married in 2016. “I’m grateful for my childhood. It was not perfect … but at the end of the day, I’m grateful for my parents,” Jinger said on the “Unplanned” podcast in June 2024. “I love them, we have differences, everything’s not perfect between us, but I think that at the end of the day, I love them and I know that they know that.”
Jinger previously opened up about her upbringing in her books The Hope We Hold and Becoming Free Indeed, detailing the quirks of her religious background and the different perspectives she has now. Her latest memoir, People Pleaser, which debuts in January 2025, will delve deeper into the “not-so-healthy path” she was on.
“I realized I was a people-pleaser from the time I was a teen. … There [is] people-pleasing that shows up in everybody’s life, every single day and I think that’s why now is the time to write this book,” she said on the “Jinger & Jeremy” podcast in September 2024. “It’s such a problem and it will always be a problem.”

Love Notes From Prison
Being part of a recognizable family came with a few surprises. “Guys would write from prison for my sisters. It was crazy,” Jinger said on the “Dinner Party With Jeremy Fall” podcast in July 2021. “We constantly had letters coming in the mail and it was like, ‘Oh, who is it for this time? Oh, it’s for Jana, oh, it’s for Jessa.‘ … It was mind blowing just to think that somebody thought they would walk right into your life and marry you, like, they were already basically proposing in their letters.”
Jinger added that some of the inmates might have believed the proposals were “legit,” saying, “I can understand how somebody would think, ‘Oh, I know you so well because I watched you from a child grow up,’ so they think that there’s a relationship there when there’s not. It’s like, a one-sided thing.”

‘Cult-Like’ Faith
Jinger exclusively told Us in January 2023 that she “definitely” recognized that her religious upbringing “was cult-like in many ways,” adding, “It was built on fear, manipulation, control and superstition, so all those things combined in how hard it is for kids to leave or adults to leave — anyone, really. … Once you hear the teachings, you’re not supposed to depart from those.”
In an interview with People that same month, Jinger said that she was often “crippled with anxiety” growing up due to the “fear and superstition” encouraged by Gothard’s “harmful” teachings. “I was terrified of the outside world,” she admitted. “The teaching I grew up under was harmful, it was damaging, and there are lasting effects.”
Bond With Her Sisters
In her 2023 book, Becoming Free Indeed, Jinger revealed that out of all nine of her sisters, she feels most connected to Jessa. “She is my closest sibling in age, only 13 months older than me. She is fifth and I am sixth of 19 Duggar kids,” Jinger wrote. “Growing up, Jessa and I were together all the time. Though all the Duggar girls shared the same room, I often felt like I was roommates with only Jessa. Our beds were next to each other for my entire childhood.”
Jinger and her siblings were first featured on TV in 2004 before 19 Kids and Counting premiered in 2008. “I look at those years and I’m really grateful for the opportunities that I was able to have,” she exclusively told Us in January 2023 while reflecting on growing up in the spotlight. “Like, we traveled the world, things that we wouldn’t have been able to do as a large family. At the same time, I can say I saw, also, those challenges [that came with it].”
At the time, Jinger explained that she and Vuolo “talked about” whether they wanted to raise their own children in the public eye. (The couple welcomed daughters Felicity and Evangeline in 2018 and 2020, revealing in 2024 that baby No. 3 is on the way.)

“I spent most of my life on TV. … That was my childhood,” she told Us. “Like, that was all I knew. I played with the boom mics and all of that, but [my kids are] just so not used to it. So it’s kind of interesting to see.”
The Family Rules
Fans have long been fascinated with the Duggar family’s strict expectations for their children under the IBLP teachings. “I thought I had to wear only skirts and dresses to please God. Music with drums, places I went or the wrong friendships could all bring harm,” Jinger told People in January 2023.
During an appearance on the “Unplanned” podcast the following year, Jinger admitted that many of the “man-made” rules “don’t make sense,” like not being allowed to wear T-shirts. “If you have a normal shirt, you’re allowed to roll up your sleeves,” she explained. “But you can’t buy a T-shirt that has the sleeves already off.”
There were also guidelines put in place for courtship, with dates requiring a chaperone. “You know, you can’t kiss before you’re married, you can’t hold hands … [but] I don’t see that in the word of God,” Jinger told Us in January 2023, revealing how she plans to approach the topic with her own children. “I don’t think that courtship is a word that we’re gonna use with them at all because I don’t think that that’s the only way to find a spouse — or the best way — at all.”

Living With 18 Siblings
Jinger admitted on “Unplanned” in June 2024 that she was “afraid” of the pressures to have “as many [kids] as possible” before she became a parent. She recalled having to take care of two of her own siblings when she was younger.
“I think that parents should take care of their kids. If you have them, you should take care of them. Kids can help out, learn responsibility in other ways, but maybe not in the motherly aspects of what moms or dads should be doing,” she said. “You have all these imbalances of kids raising kids. I think that I saw that a lot in the system and I think that that is unhealthy.”
Jinger also remembered the IBLP teachings impacting her family’s life in unexpected ways. “We would never do organized sports because we were afraid of influences around us,” she said. “And so we would do a family sport in the community … and we would all play that together. … Looking back, I’m like, ‘Oh, I wish I would’ve had maybe more opportunities to explore what I was really interested in in that way.’”
Not Enough Food
During an August 2024 episode of the “Jinger & Jeremy” podcast, Jinger spoke candidly about growing up with 18 siblings. “I remember a few times when we were very young some of my siblings would take their food, take their plate of food — get ready for this, it’s disgusting — in the bathroom,” she recalled. “They would carry it and put it on the bathroom counter, my mom would be like, ‘Don’t do that.’ They’re like, ‘They’re going to eat it.’”
Jinger added, “That’s literally what they thought, ‘I’m not going to be able to eat my food because somebody’s going to take it and we might not have enough food for seconds today.’”

Season 5 of Miss Scarlet is all about change, but newbie Tom Durant-Pritchard is just like Us rooting for Eliza Scarlet to find her happily ever after.
“We all need love, do you know what I mean?” Durant-Pritchard, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly while playing coy as to whether his character, the new Scotland Yard Inspector Alexander Blake, will be a new love interest for private investigator Eliza (Kate Phillips).
The actor is replacing Stuart Martin’s Inspector William Wellington a.k.a. The Duke in the upcoming season of the PBS Masterpiece Mystery show, which premieres on Sunday, January 12. (The early streaming release began on December 8, 2024, on the PBS App and the PBS Masterpiece Prime Video Channel.)
Unlike William, who was in love with Eliza for years before taking a job in New York City at the end of season 4, Blake doesn’t like private investigators. That aversion to Eliza’s profession, however, might be short-lived, according to Durant-Pritchard.
“Blake doesn’t want any PIs working with Scotland Yard, but there’s that classic thing with Miss Scarlet is you can’t deny that she’s very good at her job,” he told Us. “And Blake is a sensible man and comes to appreciate the fact that as much as he doesn’t want Ms. Scarlet to get involved in any of the cases, she’s kind of too good to ignore.”
He teased, “So begrudgingly he has to allow her to take part.”
While the two butt heads right out the gate — during the premiere they cross paths on a tricky case involving stolen goods — Durant-Pritchard explained they have a few things in common that could bond them.
“He’s gone through his own heartbreak that is different to Miss Scarlet,” the season 5 star shared. “But they find each other at a time when they’re in their company. They need each other in a way.”
Durant-Pritchard noted that there’s a “reluctance” to Blake and Eliza “getting on” when he first comes to town but that changes as the seasons progresses.
“You see a sort of friendship building. There is something between them as much as they both don’t want it to happen,” he teased. “There’s a relationship building.”
Durant-Pritchard explained that even though Eliza wants to have a clean break from William — fans will see how the two formally part ways during the season 5 premiere — healing from heartbreak “is never that simple.”
The English actor revealed that Eliza’s feelings from season 4 will “feed into what happens in season 5.” When it comes to how she will connect with Blake and weasel her way into more cases, Durant-Pritchard said it will come down to proving herself at work.

“There are some great cases that are quite big that require quite a lot of mental strength,” he shared. “And the bond that Blake and Ms. Scarlet have to form to solve those cases, kind of allow the past to stay in the past and they have to start building their own relationship and future between them.”
Durant-Pritchard remained somewhat coy about whether Blake and Eliza’s dynamic will become romantic — but he didn’t rule it out completely.
“You can expect two, single people in a state of heartbreak, going about their business to the best of their ability,” he told Us. “And as much as they don’t want to spend time with one another as the season progresses, they end up having to spend more and more time together and get to know each other better and better as time goes on.”
While Blake and Eliza start off on a rocky foot, Durant-Pritchard had an easy time getting along with the show’s leading lady.
“Kate is a fantastic actor, and she’s a great person. It’s very easy to just hang out and have that,” he gushed about Phillips, 35. “I’ve come from a background of doing my fair share of comedies, and we share a love of comedy [and] rom-coms, all the work of Hugh Grant over the years.”
Durant-Pritchard revealed that he and Phillips connected over their love of movies and spent a lot of time getting to know each other’s ticks. (Durant-Pritchard picked Four Weddings and a Funeral and “all the Bridget Jones’s” as his favorite rom-coms.)
“We spoke, I think, every day from about 8 in the morning til 7 at night, and we spent every second together,” he recalled. “We just got on so well that it was just very easy on set.”
As fans gear up for new dynamics in season 5 of Miss Scarlet, Durant-Pritchard gave Us his vision for season 6 — assuming Blake sticks around.
“I would like to see how his relationship with Ms. Scarlet progresses through time,” he said, hinting that he too is team Eliza finding love. “To see if they can maintain a kind of working relationship and then anything else that happens is a boon, I guess.”
Season 5 of Miss Scarlet premieres on Masterpiece Mystery on PBS Sunday, January 12, at 8 p.m. ET.
Lala performs her sidekick duties by lounging in her tufted doggie bed alongside Cumming, 59, as he has one-on-one conversations with each cast member on the Peacock reality show, and she looks fabulous doing it, donning sumptuous cloaks and trendy tartans.
It turns out that Lala has a real rags-to-riches tale, with Cumming and husband Grant Shaffer adopting her in February 2016 before she made her debut on The Traitors during season 2.
“When we got her from @socialteesnyc she had just arrived from Costa Rica where she’d been taken off the streets by a kind vet because she was pregnant,” Cumming revealed in a 2022 Instagram post. “After her puppies were born and adopted, nobody wanted Lala (I know!!) until a very lovely American lady took her back to NYC where she was fostered for a week or so by another lovely lady until she found her forever home with me, Jerry and @granteepants. Alas, less than a week later she had to have emergency surgery as a piece of gauze had been left inside her when she was spayed!! But she is a fighter AND a lover and now an internationally renowned and beloved sensation!”
Scroll down to see Lala’s sensational style moments from The Traitors season 3:
Lala previously launched her Hollywood career when she appeared on Alan Cumming’s Edge of Scotland in 2017. Perhaps that's when she started her accessory collection, which seems to rival even Dolores Catania's closet.
Though she was born in Costa Rica and adopted in New York City, Lala is clearly proud to represent her father's Scottish heritage with her fierce tartan frocks.
"Lala, having been a street dog, never had toys. She's not interested in toys at all actually," Cumming told Masterpiece in 2024. "I mean, she'll occasionally chew a blanket or something, but she's not like that at all." Her chill demeanor makes her the perfect Traitors cohost.
Renée Zellweger’s blink-and-you-missed-it marriage to country singer Kenny Chesneywas so short-lived that even the actress herself sometimes forgets it ever happened — but at the time, it was one of the biggest celebrity dramas around. Twenty years on, let’s look back at what really became of Renée ‘n’ Kenny…
How it Began
It was at NBC’s Concert of Hope (a tsunami aid telethon) in January 2005 that Zellweger, now 55, and Chesney, now 56, first met — but this was no chance encounter. The Bridget Jones actress had already planned to pass a note to the country star after admiring him from afar. Chesney, meanwhile, had cited her as one of his top celebrity crushes in a 2002 interview with The Tennessean, saying “Here’s a country girl who’s still down to earth. You never see her coming, then — wham! — there she is. And that makes her really, really sexy. Plus she seems like the kind of girl who could fit in and be at home anywhere.” His 1999 song, “You Had Me From Hello,” was also rumored to have been inspired by seeing the actress utter a nearly-identical line in 1996’s Jerry Maguire.
The story, as told by entertainment expert and former People magazine Editor-in-Chief Jess Cagle, goes that after the telethon, where Chesney was performing and Zellweger was answering phones, he approached her and said “I hear you are trying to pass me a note — don’t let the principal find out!” and the pair promptly started getting to know each other.
“They had each other from hello,” said Cagle at the time. “At that point, they exchanged numbers and emails and started this sort of long-distance relationship that became a real romantic thing.”
The first public hint of a romance between the pair came in April, when Zellweger unexpectedly appeared on stage with Chesney at his show in Jacksonville, Florida, presenting him with a margarita and kissing him on the cheek.
How Long it Lasted
This is the part that got everybody talking.
After less than four months of dating, the couple got married in May 2005 in an intimate ceremony at Chesney’s private estate on St.John in the U.S Virgin Islands. Zellweger wore a Carolina Herrera gown and was walked down the aisle by her father, with 35 close friends and family members in attendance.
It all seemed dreamy, but after less than four months, Zellweger filed for an annulment, citing “fraud” as the reason for the split.
How it Ended
When news of the shocking breakup went public, there was fierce speculation about what “fraud” might mean, even leading to intrusive speculation about Chesney’s sexuality (which he later addressed head-on).
Zellweger released a statement to clear things up, saying she wanted to “clarify that the term ‘fraud’ as listed in the documentation is simply legal language and not a reflection of Kenny’s character.” She added: “I would personally be very grateful for your support in refraining from drawing derogatory, hurtful, sensationalized or untrue conclusions and greatly appreciate your understanding that we hope to experience this transition as privately as possible.”
Chesney responded to Zellweger’s statement with his own words. “This is an incredibly sad time,” he said. “I just hope everyone can respect the privacy that I know Renée has already asked for.”
But still the gossip rumbled on, forcing the couple to issue yet another statement — this one, together, and via their reps. They said: “The miscommunication of the objective of their marriage at the start is the only reason for this annulment. Renée and Kenny value and respect each other and are saddened that their different objectives prevent the success of this marriage.”
Both stars mostly laid low in the immediate aftermath but in November 2005, two months after the annulment, Chesney was complimentary towards his ex in an interview on The View. “She and I fell in love like a couple of schoolkids,” he said. “I’m glad to know that can happen, that that exists and we still really care about each other. It would’ve been a bad thing if I hadn’t met her. She’s wonderful. I don’t want to sit here and go: ‘Poor me.’ I am totally blessed, and I’m grateful for it.”
What They Say Now
Now that more time has passed since the brief, some might say doomed marriage, both parties have felt more able to speak about what really went down.
“I think people need to live their lives the way they want to, but I’m pretty confident in the fact that I love girls,” said Chesney in a 2009 Playboy interview. “I’ve got a long line of girls who could testify that I am not gay. In order for us to get an annulment, the legal papers could claim either physical abuse, which wasn’t true, or three or four other things that also weren’t true. The best thing we could put in there was fraud. So I said, ‘All right, do it. Whatever’.”
In a 2010 interview, he gave a few more details — and it sounded like he simply wasn’t ready for marriage. “I look at my life as a box,” he said. “So everything that I put in — learn how to play guitar, put that in the box. The friends I made. I put that in the box, and my career grew. That box grew into this wonderful house… And you protect everything and all the relationships and all the people that helped you build that house. “It was out of the box. [Renée’s] a sweet soul, no doubt about it, but I just wasn’t ready…. This is the first time I’ve actually talked about it, but that’s what happened.”
In another Playboy interview, in 2015, Chesney was even more reflective about the turn of events, and the impact on his life. “Nothing positive at all in my life came from it, I can tell you that,” he said. “I didn’t have any clue as to what true marriage meant. I was so used to committing to one thing — music — and then I had to totally commit to a second thing, marriage. I didn’t know how. It was a scary moment for me. I had never really had any kind of attention from the paparazzi. It went from zero to the complete other end of the spectrum. I’d go to a concert and there would be helicopters circling, trying to get a picture of me and her together. I thought it would be like that all the time. I just totally panicked. I did the only thing I knew to do: I ran. I pushed her away, in every way possible—to the point where I just didn’t want to be married to her anymore. It’s that simple. I still struggle with it. Was it the right thing to do or not? I still think about her every day. Every day I wonder if she’s okay. I mean, you don’t just fall out of love with somebody.”
More recently, in a 2023 interview with Billboard, Chesney talked about how his experience with Zellweger had made him conduct his life more privately. “One of the reasons I’m so private is when my life started to change and people started caring at a different level, the only thing I could keep to myself was the intimate details of my life,” he said. “What is interesting is we were playing stadiums already, and after that … I didn’t have social anxiety before that, then you add our success and then you add that to your life and you have a little bit of social anxiety. And now, dealing with the way the world is today and how social everything is, and how information is transferred — yeah, you’d have to be crazy to want to be a celebrity today.”
Zellweger has also spoken about the tumultuous period of her life, and said in a 2016 interview with The Advocate that the speculation about Chesney’s sexuality really upset her. “It made me sad that somehow people were using that as a way to be cruel and calling someone gay as a pejorative, which has fateful consequences,” she said. “Of course, there’s the bigger-picture problem of why anyone had to make up a story at all. I’m an old-fashioned gal who doesn’t feel it’s appropriate to hang out your laundry on the lawn. I feel you devalue yourself as a human being when you share very personal things with a bajillion strangers who are making fun of you. I just don’t see that there’s any dignity in that.”
Zellweger added that she often forgot the marriage had ever happened, saying “It’s a pretty big thing to forget, isn’t it?”
Key Relationship Takeaways
Looking back, it seems like these two just got carried away with the romance and passion of falling in love after admiring each other from afar — but forgot to actually figure out if they were compatible. Both in their mid thirties at the time, getting married probably felt like the obvious thing to do.
Two decades later, both are in long-term relationships — just not with each other. Chesney has been dating model and dancer Mary Nolan since 2012 — and their relationship is extremely private — while Zellweger has been with British TV star and motor specialist Ant Anstead since 2021. Interestingly, though, neither party has ever married again; did those disastrous few months put them both off for life?
From “Magic” to “Right Round,” Pitch Perfect’s all-male a capella group the Treblemakers sang many hit songs in the 2012 comedy — but star Adam DeVine says one hit sticks out to him.
“My favorite song that I sang in Pitch Perfect [with the Treblemakers] was ‘Don’t Stop the Music’ by Rihanna,” DeVine, 41, reveals exclusively in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “I still have the whole dance memorized. I destroy at karaoke with that one.”
The movie — which also stars Anna Kendrick, Skylar Astin and Rebel Wilson — opens on DeVine (as Bumper) singing the 2007 Rihanna hit alongside the Treblemakers at the International Championship of Collegiate A Capella.
DeVine finishes the song in a split, which prompts ICCA commentator Gail Abernathy-McKadden (Elizabeth Banks) to exclaim, “Sexy man splits!” while her colleague John Smith (John Michael Higgins) replies, “His pain is our gain, Gail.”
DeVine — who cohosts the iHeartRadio podcast “This Is Important” with his Workaholics costars Anders Holm, Blake Anderson and Kyle Newachek — went on to star in the sequel, Pitch Perfect 2, and a Peacock spinoff series based on his character, Pitch Perfect: Bumper in Berlin.
Keep scrolling for more fun facts from DeVine, including why he considers season 1 of Workaholics to be the proudest moment of his career:

5. My first car was a 1993 Cavalier Convertible. It was white with spray-painted red hubcaps and a salvaged title!

8. Hatchet by Gary Paulsen is my favorite book.
9. Jennifer Love Hewitt was my celebrity crush growing up.

16. My favorite way to spend the weekend is just by taking it easy with no plans. I’m at the age where a nice relaxing weekend sounds great.
17. I would like to travel more. This world is big and beautiful. I want to be on my deathbed and smile, knowing I saw it all.

Fran Drescher‘s Golden Globes look was no doubt stunning, inspiring curiosity as to which products the age-defying 67-year-old used for the big night. Thankfully, celebrity makeup artist Gregory Arlt spilled the tea to Us — and we were taken aback by the fact that the “Italian movie star”-inspired look was actually accessible! The Nanny actress’ flawless skin was prepped with a hydrating primer from Laura Geller Beauty, which you can shop right on Amazon.
Laura Geller Beauty is a makeup line formulated with mature skin in mind, so all of its products complement women of any age. Arlt leaned into the old Hollywood glam trend seen everywhere on the Red Carpet, taking notes from Audrey Hepburn. He began with a fan-favorite, Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer Hydrate, using it to prep the Screen Actor’s Guild (SAG-AFTRA) President’s skin. Arlt added that it’s “his go-to primer for Drescher to help blur any pores or fine lines while holding foundation in place to keep skin looking fresh for a long night out.”
We’ve been obsessed with hydrating primers lately due to their ability to make skin look like it has a real-life filter, especially in winter. A cross between skincare and makeup, Spackle Skin Perfecting Primer in Hydrate is infused with hyaluronic acid, glycerin and antioxidants that nourish skin while creating a flawless base for makeup. Many users even say they can skip foundation after using this primer!
Among the thousands of 5-star reviews, one devotee wrote, “Love this stuff,” noting that it’s “great that if I put it on and I’m in a hurry, I don’t even feel the need to put on foundation!”
“This has been a game changer for me and a mainstay in my makeup vanity for the last five or so years now,” a second shopper confirms. “It really does work to smooth out your skin and all your makeup, to set on it instead of settling into your pores.” They add that while “the hydrating version is my go-to,” they also find that the “Diamond is great for a more glowy look,” referring to the luminous version of the Spackle Primer.
Still, while the reviews are no doubt lovely, it’s worth seeing this pick in action — the before-and-after photos will make your jaw drop! And if the goal is to keep makeup in place all day or night, or you’re looking for a refreshing skin-perfecter on days you go makeup-free, scoop up this industry insider pick today.
Daisy Edgar-Jones and Glen Powell in ‘Twisters’Universal Pictures
Let’s talk about sex … or the lack thereof. While the movies are still a way to escape the realities of life, it seems there’s no more fantasizing about what it’d be like to spend the night with an A-lister — unless they’re offering OnlyFans content.
Some of the biggest blockbusters from the past few years have made millions at the box office, but they’re missing one major thing: a steamy sex scene. Miles Teller only felt a rush flying an F-18 as far as 2022’s Top Gun: Maverick is concerned, and Tom Cruise didn’t even sleep with love interest Jennifer Connelly in the movie. Similarly, Twisters had audiences up in arms when it premiered in July because nothing romantic happened between leads Glen Powell and Daisy Edgar-Jones. Not even a smooch — unless you count the deleted kiss that was leaked on X.
Listen, Us is fully on board with a slow burn, but sometimes escapism in the form of two hot people getting it on onscreen is what we want — and need. When did the tides turn? And, more importantly, why does it seem like all the sex is gone? Let’s put the blame on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Of course, we’re kidding because who doesn’t love a good superhero movie? (Chris Evans, we miss you!) But there’s a point to be made about the 34 and counting films in the MCU. Mind you, the film franchise has been going on since 2008, and only one of the flicks features a sex scene (2021’s box office bomb The Eternals). Most of them don’t even have a kiss!
Are we really living in a “puritanical age” of Hollywood, as some have called it? Well, a study published last year by The Economist says yes, stating that sexual content in movies has dropped 40 percent since 2000. Previously, 20 percent of movies had no sex at all, and the same study revealed that number has now gone up to 50 percent. It has been argued, however, that the rare intimate scenes of today are more graphic than they once were — but that’s still up for debate.

An added layer to this discussion is the actors who have taken a stand. A number of stars have been vocal about their distaste for filming (or choreographing, as some will say) intimate scenes. Henry Cavill, for one, bluntly stated that he’s “not a fan of doing them” in scenes “overused” in film. The younger generation, who favor TikTok over AMC Theaters, seems to agree — OnlyFans anyone?
Overall, it seems more fitting to say that technology is the cause for the recent decline in onscreen lovemaking. The internet age has made sex more accessible for Gen Z, thanks to OnlyFans and streaming services galore. The thrill of going to the movie theater and trying to fake-avert your eyes from an intimate moment between two actors doesn’t seem necessary anymore.
While sex scenes might be what the younger generation prefers to stream on their phones, studios are leaning into what audiences can only truly enjoy in a theater. Watching Pedro Pascal and Paul Mescal fight it out in the Colosseum during Gladiator IIon an IMAX screen is never an experience we’ll get at home. Maybe movie theaters should make a permanent shift from intimacy to action movies? Because based on the box office receipts, it seems likely that those are the only kind of hot and sweaty scenes we’ll see on the big screen. We’ll take what we can get.

Meghan Markleand Prince Harry have rolled up their sleeves to help out those affected by the wildfires that ravaged parts of Los Angeles.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex visited the World Central Kitchen in Pasadena, California on Friday, January 10.
Us Weekly understands Harry, 40, and Meghan, 43, volunteered to hand out food and supplies to people affected by the Eaton Fire.
During their visit, the couple witnessed harrowing stories from victims, but also strong community spirit as they offered their support. The Duke and Duchess also took time to connect with elderly individuals and families affected by the crisis inside the Pasadena Convention Center.
As well as serving meals alongside World Central Kitchen (WCK) volunteers outside the venue, Harry and Meghan donated clothing, children’s items, and other essential supplies to the main donation center, Us understands.
Monetary donations have also been made to relief, recovery and rebuild efforts via their charity organization, the Archwell Foundation.
Harry and Meghan also joined Jennifer Siebel Newsom, California’s First Partner, and Pasadena Mayor Victor Gordo, in personally thanking first responders, including Fire Chief Marrone and his team from the LA County Fire Department as well as Members of CalFire and the Pasadena Police Force at the Rose Bowl.
As part of their volunteering efforts, Harry and Meghan met with World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés at the charity’s food stations and thanked the teams for the hard work involved in supporting the community in its time of need.
Meghan and Harry live in Montecito with their children Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3. Their home is around 80 miles north of the Pacific Palisades area in LA, where the fires first broke out on Tuesday, January 7.
While it is not known which of the couple’s friends have made use of the home, thousands of people had been forced to flee their homes due to the wildfires. Among the celebrities affected by the fires were Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt and Milo Ventimiglia, whose homes all went up in flames.
The couple has dedicated a page on their official website to the wildfires, sharing information about resources and organizations taking part in the relief effort.
The couple first moved to California from the UK in 2020 during the pandemic. After initially staying on Vancouver Island, Canada, they then spent several months at Tyler Perry’s Los Angeles home before buying their own home in California.
