Matlock is getting ready to wrap up its first season — but the upcoming finale features even bigger twists and paves the way for some intriguing guest stars in season 2.

During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Skye P. Marshall teased her reaction to the season finale, saying, “I am not even exaggerating. When I read the finale script, I was like, ‘Here is take off. Here we go.’ And I mean take off as our characters are fully developed [by the end]. Everyone has their own angle, their own goal and their own ambition — whether it aligns with their original alliance or not.”

Marshall praised Matlock for “shooting for the stars.”

“Based on how season 1 ended, I’m pretty sure we’re going to get some amazing guest stars to just continue where this is all going to make it all make sense,” she continued. “With the success of Matlock, we got a lot of people’s attention. I’m really excited to see what other incredible talent wants to come and explore these other characters.”

'Matlock' Burning Questions Answered After Shocking Twist With Kathy Bates

She concluded: “I’m really excited that the rocket is taking off. I love that. And whatever you think is going to be revealed, the twist is going to have you turned around the same way the pilot ending did.”

Matlock, which premiered in September 2024, follows a wealthy retired lawyer named Madeline Kingston (Kathy Bates) who pretends to be a poor widower named Matty Matlock to get a job at a firm. As it turns out, Matty thinks someone at the company is complicit in the opioid epidemic that resulted in her daughter’s death.

The plan to take down Jacobson Moore doesn’t exactly go as planned since Matty finds herself growing closer to Olympia (Marshall), Billy (David Del Rio), Sarah (Leah Lewis) and more of her coworkers that don’t seem to be aware of the corruption at the firm.

After Matlock was renewed for a second season, director and executive producer Kat Coiro previewed how the show keeps building on that narrative shakeup.

“What’s so brilliant about the show and Jennie [Snyder Urman’s] writing is that it’s very incremental and character-based. The twists have a lot to do with psychology rather than relying on big external factors or plot shifts,” Coiro explained in November 2024. “You get so invested in these characters that small revelations become really exciting.”

Coiro noted that the CBS series isn’t relying on just one storytelling device.

“It’s easier to get away with that the more invested everybody becomes in the characters. Definitely the twist in the pilot was the biggest,” she noted. “Because you think you’re watching a pretty standard procedural about a fish out of water in a law firm. Then suddenly you introduce this story line that now has to carry two plots and two different sets of characters through every episode.”

At the time, Coiro praised the show’s writers’ room for finding ways to keep each episode feeling fresh, adding, “I think subtlety of the progression and the fact that it’s not moving forward at an incredibly rapid rate is part of what makes it sustainable.”

Matlock airs on CBS Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and is currently streaming on Paramount+.

Austin Butler’s home in Los Angeles has been reportedly burglarized, with multiple items appearing to have been stolen.

According to TMZ, who reported on the incident on Thursday, March 14, the actor’s home was reportedly broken into while Butler, 33, was out of the country.

The outlet reported that police attended the premises after Butler’s security guard found a shattered glass door. Upon entering the home, a guard saw that Butler’s home had been ransacked.

TMZ reported that several items appeared to be missing, including a gun and money. However, a full inventory is still needed to determine what items have been stolen.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles Home Burglarized

It is unclear at this stage whether there are any suspects in the case yet.

Us Weekly has reached out to LAPD and Butler’s representatives for comment.

Earlier this week, Butler spent time in France, attending the Saint Laurent Show in Paris Fashion Week.

He has also had a busy few months, including a recent split with Kaia Gerber, who he had been dating for three years.

Multiple outlets, including People and TMZ reported on the split in January, with the former couple believed to have called it quits at the end of 2024.

Meanwhile, there has been a spate of burglaries at celebrity homes in Los Angeles in the past few months.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Los Angeles home was reportedly broken into on Valentine’s Day this year.

According to NBC News, who spoke with a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation and published its findings on Tuesday, February 18, the Beverly Hills residence “included ransacking and breaking glass.”

The couple and their family were not home at the time, reported TMZ. (The pair share two daughters, Sunday, 16, and Faith, 14. Kidman is also mother to son, Connor, 30, and daughter, Bella, 32, whom she shares with ex-husband Tom Cruise.)

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber Call It Quits After 3 Years of Dating: Reports

The burglary follows the arrest of five suspects in January by the Beverly Hills Police Department, who, according to NBC, were arrested “in connection with a string of burglaries in their city, as well as in other California locations, including Glendale, San Marino, Los Angeles, Burbank, Pleasanton, Bakersfield, Ventura County, Orange County and San Mateo County.”

Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and her husband Romain also had their L.A. home broken into in January, Us Weekly can confirm,

A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department media relations team confirmed that the burglary took place on Sunday, January 19.

TMZ was first to report the news, claiming that thieves entered Fitzgerald Bonnet, 44, and husband Romain Bonnet’s residence through an unlocked door. They allegedly stole over $130,000 worth of jewelry, handbags and more luxury items. Per the outlet, Fitzgerald Bonnet and Bonnet, 31, were not home at the time of the incident.

It is unclear whether Butler’s home invasion was linked to other celebrity break-ins in L.A.

Like a certain 2010s boy band, Fifth Harmony was formed on a reality competition series — and like that group, they’ve stayed busy in the years after their hiatus.

Fifth Harmony‘s story began in 2012, when all five of its members — Ally Brooke, Camila Cabello, Normani, Dinah Jane and Lauren Jauregui — auditioned for the U.S. edition of The X Factor as solo contestants. They didn’t progress on their own, but judges Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato, L.A. Reid and Britney Spears brought them back to form a girl group.

After initially calling themselves Lylas and 1432, they settled on the name Fifth Harmony after a public vote. They finished in third place during the December 2012 season finale, and one month later, Cowell signed them to his record label, Syco Music.

The band’s debut album, Reflection, hit stores in January 2015, and they quickly became one of the biggest acts in pop music. Drama began the following year, however, when Cabello announced in December 2016 that she was leaving the group.

The remaining four members claimed that they were blindsided by her decision, later confirming in March 2018 that Fifth Harmony would go on an indefinite hiatus while they pursued solo projects. While fans were devastated, the women delivered on their promise, and all four of them have since released their own singles.

Jarrett “JT” Thomas hit his breaking point during the recent episode of Southern Charm after seemingly being accused of racism toward longtime friend Venita Aspen.

During the Thursday, March 13, episode of the Bravo series, Venita, 31, revealed she was in “shellshock” after hearing something JT, 39, allegedly said about her to his barber.

Venita heard the accusations from newbie Ryan Albert, who claimed the barber said, “JT told him that there is some Black girl that’s been coming on to him and his girlfriend is going to be so pissed off.”

While retelling the rumored interaction between JT and his barber to pal Leva Bonaparte, Venita confessed she wasn’t sure what to believe. Leva, 45, was taken aback as well, telling Venita, “[That] doesn’t seem like JT.”

Southern Charm’s Venita Says JT 'Popped Up' With a GF Amid Their Romance

Leva decided to go straight to JT to clear the air. During their chat, JT admitted that he had been a little “flirtatious” with Venita amid his new romance with girlfriend Ally but was completely surprised by what came next. (Venita and JT were very lovey-dovey all season before Venita learned of JT’s new flame.)

“Ryan, I guess, uses the same barber as you. … He said that that barber told him that you verbatim said, ‘There’s some Black girl trying to get me to break up with my girlfriend,’” Leva recalled to JT, noting, “Venita is distraught.”

JT was visibly stunned by the accusation, replying, “That sounds racist. I’m not a racist.”

Leva explained that Venita felt “used” by JT after hearing the rumor, which hurt him deeply. “I’m so sorry that she thinks this, but no. This is yet another time that words are being put in my mouth,” JT responded. “I have nothing but respect for Venita.”

JT alleged, “This is absolutely bulls—. That is not how I roll.” He was frustrated as he said, “I have had enough of my name getting shattered and destroyed. I am tired of this friend group.”

JT then decided to call the barber in front of Leva to get to the bottom of the story. The barber confirmed that JT did not say “some Black girl … is trying to ruin my relationship.”

Southern Charm's Venita Slams Show for Presenting Her as 'Home Wrecker'

The barber recalled, “You had said that there is an interest with a cute Black girl on the show, Venita. That was really the gist of it. There wasn’t really much context [other than] that.”

The stylist was apologetic for being involved in any way, telling JT, “You know, I may have said it because I was not articulate, you know? If it was off, something that I relayed, like, I’m so sorry.”

“That’s a big allegation. That’s a really big accusation by Ryan,” JT told Leva before getting up to leave. “What did I do to this guy? That’s a motherf—!”

Ten minutes later, JT called Venita outraged that anyone would think he would purposely hurt her and speak in such a manner about any woman. “I’m still, like, shaking. … I’m really upset right now. I know you are too. I’m f—ing pissed right now. This is horrible,” JT said on the phone. “I’m upset with him, and I’m upset that he hurt you. I’m upset that he hurt you by insinuating that.”

JT explained that Leva was “hurt” by the accusations as well because her husband, Lamar Bonaparte, is Black. “Now I’m hurt but had no idea you guys were hurting,” JT told Venita. “I’m going, ‘What the f— is going on right now?’”

He then told her that he called the barber and “cleared it” up. JT revealed that he had to call Venita right after to say, “I f—ing love you.” As he spoke, his emotions continued to bubble up and he went off on the rest of the cast.

‘Southern Charm’ Cast Reacts to JT Leaving Show: ‘He Was No Longer Wanted’

“I’m done. So done with these people they’re f—ing snakes. It’s Craig [Conover], it’s Austen [Kroll], it’s Ryan, it’s Salley [Carson],” JT claimed.

Earlier this season, Craig, 36, accused JT of calling Patricia Altschul a “bitch.” Austen, for his part, had been feuding with JT since season 9 when they got into a physical altercation over castmate Taylor Ann Green. Salley, meanwhile, got into a fight with JT after he alleged she had an affair with ex-boyfriend Gaston Rojas.

JT continued to go off on the group, especially Ryan, saying, “This is sick, man. This motherf— just called me [racist] and his husband is also Black. This has all the looks of a f—ing target job by a psychopath.”

He argued that Ryan, who is married to Eddie Irions, “Made me out to be a racist.” JT concluded by calling Ryan a “motherf—” while still on the phone with Venita.

Just when things couldn’t get more hectic on The Pitt, the show introduced a mass shooting that will affect the rest of the season.

The Pitt built up to the reveal after Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) gave his son, Jake (Taj Nico Speights), tickets to a music festival. Meanwhile earlier in the season, one of Dr. Robby’s patients made herself sick so her son could take her to the hospital because she wanted to alert professionals that he was worried he could harm someone else.

During the Thursday, March 13, episode of Max’s hit medical series, the doctors and nurses working in the emergency department at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital got an alert about a shooter at the festival, which resulted in multiple casualties headed their way.

Taylor Dearden exclusively told Us Weekly how the twist affects her character, Dr. Mel King, adding, “Something happens and as the day goes on, I think Mel gets more and more confident — or at least just there is more ease and less anxiety.”

What Noah Wyle Said About How 'The Pitt' Medical Drama Differs From 'ER'

Despite not feeling confident on her first day at the hospital, the second-year resident will rise to the occasion amid the crisis.

“ADHD is overrepresented in emergency services. Most ER doctors, nurses and everyone there has ADHD. It is this thing that we have as a superpower and when there’s an emergency, we can shut off all anxiety and just deal with whatever’s in front of us,” Dearden, 32, who has been diagnosed with ADHD, explained. “I’m the one that runs towards the accident, which is a terrible idea. I’ll show up and go, ‘I don’t know what to do, but I’m here.'”

She continued: “But Mel gets to have that superpower click in at a point, which I’m really excited for everyone to see. Just kind of like the moment where you go, ‘Oh, this is what she needs under her ass. Like a fire. I’m not saying Mel’s a hero but …'”

Dearden also surprised Us when asked how Mel would react to her new coworker friend Dr. Frank Langdon’s (Patrick Ball) addiction. (Robby told Frank to go home in a prior episode after he found out that the senior resident was stealing medication.)

“Mel doesn’t know at all — the whole time,” Dearden revealed. “Poor Mel. I’m just like, ‘Where’d he go? Where’d my friend go?'”

Ball previously broke down what Frank’s addiction means for him going forward.

ER's Noah Wyle Returns to Medical Dramas With ‘The Pitt’: Everything to Know

“He refers to having hurt his back while helping his parents move and that is frequently the case. He goes to a doctor who gives him pain meds and then those are habit-forming pain meds. This happens all the time. This happens with people that I know that are very, very high functioning,” Ball explained. “You see this opioid problem that is just riddling itself all across this country. It’s really sad because it’s not people that ever set out to become addicts. It’s people that trust and that get caught in a trap. That’s part of what happened with Langdon.”

Ball praised The Pitt for being an iconic first TV role, saying, “We are all in all the time. All the crew is on set with us and it creates just this mass. You’re just part of the world. Once you’re in it, you’re just in it and everybody’s in it with you. There’s no time to get in your head. We will rehearse, then we’ll shoot, then we’ll go straight into rehearsal, then we’ll shoot again and there’s no break.”

Meanwhile, Dearden was thankful to Wyle, who used his knowledge playing a doctor on ER to help guide his costars. “It was definitely us kind of in awe going, ‘Why can’t we make it look that easy?'” She quipped. “But I think that’s just a learning thing because by the end, we were hopefully much better.”

DK Metcalf revealed that he and Normani are engaged during his first press conference for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“I proposed to my fiancée and [former teammate Russell Wilson] was the one who connected us,” the wide receiver, 27, said during the Thursday, March 13, press conference when asked if Wilson had given him advice about relocating to Pittsburgh. “So he was just telling me congratulations, giving us congratulations on that.”

After casually dropping the news, Metcalf confirmed that he got down on one knee one day prior and shared that Normani, 28, was there to support him as he joined his new team.

“She’s right there. Hold that rock up baby,” he teased.

Metcalf shared that the proposal occurred with both of their families present for the milestone occasion.

“My family and her family was in Houston,” he told reporters. “It was my sister’s Spring Break and just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with the ring.”

While the proposal came off like it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, Metcalf shared that the event had been a long time coming.

“I tried to [propose] last year,” he explained “But she’s a singer so her work kind of conflicted with the schedule.”

As Metcalf struggled to get the timing just right, he took extra steps to make sure everything was perfect.

“I started sending her flowers with a story,” he recalled “And then the last letter on the flower was ‘Will you marry me?’ And she said yes.”

Normani and Metcalf began dating in 2022 after being set up by Wilson and his wife, Ciara. Metcalf and Wilson played on the Seattle Seahawks together before Wilson parted ways with the organization in 2021. After a stint with the Denver Broncos, Wilson joined the Steelers last year.

Metcalf, for his part, was traded from the Seahawks to the Steelers days before he proposed to Normani. He also agreed to a five-year $150 million contract extension.

Last year, the former Fifth Harmony singer opened up about her relationship with the football player.

“I am very happy. Definitely an answered prayer,” she said in a June 2024 interview with Rolling Stone. “I’ve experienced a lot with relationships. I’m a real lover girl. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and finding space where that’s reciprocated feels good. I like to see myself happy. I really do.”

Chappell Roan has finally blessed the world with a studio version of “The Giver” after debuting it on Saturday Night Live last year.

The “Hot to Go” singer, 27, debuted her new single on Thursday, March 13, after weeks of teasing it via billboards across America.

“Dan Nigro and I wrote this together and it was so fun!!! We’ve never done a country song and I have such a special place in my heart for country music,” Roan explained in an email to fans announcing the single’s release date earlier this month. “I grew up listening to it every morning and afternoon on my school bus and had it swirling around me at bon fires, grocery stores and karaoke bars.”

The Grammy winner went on to address speculation that “The Giver” means her next LP will be more country than pop.

“Many people have asked if this means I’m making a country album???” she wrote. “My answer is.. hmm right now I’m just making songs that make me feel happy and fun and The Giver is my take on c—ry xoxo may the classic country divas lead their genre, I am just here to twirl and do a little gay yodel for yall.”

Roan further discussed her inspiration in an interview with Apple Music set to air Friday, March 14.

“I think I have a special relationship to where I’m from because of country music,” she said in a teaser clip, referring to her Missouri hometown. “And so to kind of honor that part of myself by making a country song, where it’s like, ‘You know what? Yes, I’m gay. And yes, I am ultra pop. Yes, I am a drag queen.’ That can also be who can also perform a country song.”

Roan also acknowledged the rich history of drag performers singing (and lip-synching) to country classics.

Chappell Roan Wraps Up Breakout Year With Win at 2025 Grammy Awards

“There are a lot of drag queens who do country music all over the world,” she said. “Name a girl who hasn’t done [Carrie Underwood’s] ‘Before He Cheats.’ Name a girl that hasn’t done [Shania Twain’s] ‘Man! I Feel Like a Woman!’”

Roan debuted “The Giver” for the first time during her stint as the musical guest on the November 2, 2024, episode of SNL. Fans have since been eagerly awaiting the song’s official version, her first release since last year’s single “Good Luck, Babe!”

Last month, Roan won her first Grammy, taking home the trophy for Best New Artist during the February 2 ceremony. While accepting the award, the pop star gave a rousing speech calling out record labels.

Here’s Proof Chappell Roan Predicted Her Grammys Win 13 Years Ago

“I told myself if I ever won a Grammy and I got to stand up here in front of the most powerful people in music, I would demand that labels and the industry profiting millions of dollars off of artists would offer a livable wage and health care, especially to developing artists,” she said. “Because I got signed so young, I got signed as a minor. When I got dropped, I had zero job experience under my belt, and like most people, I had a difficult time finding a job in the pandemic and could not afford health insurance.”

She continued, “It was so devastating to feel so committed to my art and feel so betrayed by the system. If my label would have prioritized artists’ health, I could have been provided care by a company I was giving everything to.”

“Labels, we got you,” Roan said in conclusion, “but do you got us?”

Tiger Woods is reportedly dating Donald Trump Jr.’s ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, according to multiple outlets.

The professional golfer, 49, has been “quietly dating” Vanessa, 47, for “several months,” People reported on Thursday, March 13. The Daily Mail, which was first to report the news, claimed Woods and Vanessa have been together since Thanksgiving 2024. The pair both reside in Florida where their children reportedly attend the same school.

Woods has had several high-profile relationships since he turned pro in 1996. He married model Elin Nordegren in 2004 and the couple welcomed two children, daughter Sam and son Charlie, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.

Woods and Nordegren, 45, split in 2010 after the athlete’s affair with mistress Rachel Uchitel came to light.

Tiger Woods’ Dating History: The Golfer’s Marriage, Mistresses and More

Us Weekly confirmed in February 2013 that Woods had begun dating Lindsey Vonn after first meeting at a charity event one year prior. The pair dated for three years before calling it quits in May 2015.

Woods’ latest relationship came in 2017 when he was linked to Erica Herman. News broke in March 2023 that Woods and Herman, 41, broke up after she filed court documents attempting to nullify the NDA she signed at the start of the relationship. (She dropped the suit later that year.)

Vanessa, meanwhile, met Donald Jr., 47, in 2003 during a fashion show in New York City. They tied the knot two years later in November 2005.

Donald Jr. and Vanessa went on to welcome five children: Kai, Donald III, Tristan, Spencer and Chloe, in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2012 and 2014, respectively.

Vanessa filed for divorce from Donald Jr. in March 2018 after 12 years of marriage.

At the time, a source exclusively told Us that the pair’s relationship got “rocky” when President Donald Trump began his first election campaign. “Vanessa is very close to her family and very private and does not like all this attention on her family,” the insider alleged. “They’ve been unhappy for a while.”

Tiger Woods Finishes 2024 Masters With Career-Worst 16-Over 304

As Vanessa and Donald Jr. sorted out their divorce, Us confirmed that he had cheated on Vanessa with Aubrey O’Day back in 2011. The businessman hooked up with O’Day, 41, after the two met on season 5 of The Celebrity Apprentice.

Donald Jr. and O’Day’s affair lasted until March 2012, when Vanessa discovered his infidelity via a series of emails between them.

Vanessa and Donald Jr. were reportedly separated when the affair began. They reconciled and welcomed fourth and fifth children before splitting for good in 2018.

Thanks to my maternal genetics and intense high-school athletics, I’ve been wearing men’s deodorant since I was a teenager. Mostly brand loyal, I occasionally shop around when I want to switch up scents or act on a sale.

In my experience, men’s deodorant has proven to work better than its female-marketed counterparts, and if you enjoy gender neutral or subtly masculine scents, it smells just as good. In sum, I have no qualms about using products targeted toward men.

What I do have qualms about is using items that aren’t good for me or the environment. That’s why the Blu Atlas aluminum-free deodorant — sold alongside the company’s exfoliating bar soap — caught my attention. It’s intense enough to neutralize all body odor yet made with natural ingredients, including bamboo extract and sage leaf.

Get the Blu Atlas Everyday Body Duo for $20 at Blu Atlas!

Featuring the brand’s popular aluminum-free deodorant and exfoliating bar soap, Blu Atlas’ Everyday Body Duo costs as low as $20 when you subscribe and save. If you’ve ever tried natural (aka aluminum-free) deodorant, you understand the struggle of maintaining a fresh scent. The common culprit of body odor when switching to a natural deodorant is not properly detoxing your pits. Exfoliating the underarms is key, hence the included bar soap containing jojoba beads, aloe and shea butter to leave pits feeling — and smelling — oh, so fresh. Bye-bye, buildup!

Blu Atlas proudly boasts that its items are made with 96% natural materials (think plants, fruits and minerals). Hence, the “classic” deodorant and soap scent is a luxurious blend of fruit- and plant-derived ingredients, including bergamot, sage and patchouli.

Both designed for daily use, the deodorant can neutralize odor for up to 48 hours, and the bar of soap exfoliates and hydrates pits all at once.

The deodorant, which has nearly 170 reviews and 4.7 stars, is a fan-favorite. One repeat buyer says, “I have been using Blu Atlas deodorant for nearly a year. It has a great scent and lasts all day in the hot summers in [Arizona], that says a lot. This is on the top of my list for deodorants.”

The exfoliating bar soap has an even higher star rating of 4.8. One satisfied customer says, “The bar lathered up very well. It was thick and rich and smelled great. It rinsed off easily and left my skin feeling soft, cleaned and moisturized. My skin dried off with the towel as expected, and my skin still felt moist.”

Although the deodorant and soap can be purchased separately, buying the products as a duo saves you considerable money and spares you the hassle of ordering twice. Plus, you can even subscribe and save on recurring deliveries. I’m so excited to have sniffed out this amazing deal!

Rachel Zegler channeled her inner princess in a romantic ballgown.

Zegler, 23, looked as elegant as ever in a white Elie Saab gown at a Snow White photocall in Segovia, Spain, on Wednesday, March 12. The graceful number featured a square neckline, delicate straps, a beaded fitted bodice and a fit-and-flare skirt equipped with 3-D flowers. The actress, who plays Snow White in Disney’s live-action movie, teamed the getup with silver platform heels by Jimmy Choo.

Zegler tied her look together with diamond earrings by Chiffon Co. Staying true to her character, she accessorized with a red apple clutch strung on a silver chain.

Her glam, courtesy of Allan Avendaño and Ruby Vo, was just as noteworthy. Zegler donned a full beat, including smoked-out eyeshadow, black eyeliner, long wispy eyelashes, rosy cheeks and bright pink lips. Clayton Hawkins twisted her brunette hair into a half-up coif with her face-framing pieces worn down and loosely curled.

At the event, Zelger hugged children and signed autographs. She also performed a song as part of the Waiting on a Wish musical event.

Following the evening, Zegler took to Instagram to share moments from the evening.

“España! What an amazing couple of days! From performing ‘Waiting On a Wish’ in front of Alcázar de Segovia, to reuniting with our fearless director Marc Webb, and meeting all of the loveliest little princesses and knights, I am overflowing with love (and paella),” she captioned the post. “Get your tickets now .”

While Bridget and Ernest Cato started the Japan leg of the Amazing Race in first place, an unfortunate setback landed them in last.

“It was crazy that we didn’t even realize that we were in first place,” Bridget, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, March 13 following her and her dad’s Amazing Race elimination. “We were on the flight with Carson [McCalley] and Jack [Dodge] and Brett [Hamby] and Mark [Romain.] We just figured that they were ahead of us.”

Bridget and Ernest, 59, were one of the three teams who scored the first flight out of Hong Kong to Osaka. When the father daughter duo arrived at the starting challenge of the leg, they were surprised to get that first clue. However, the return of the Intersection twist — which hasn’t been seen since 2010 — had them waiting for the next duo. (The Intersection requires teams to pair up to complete a challenge.)

“So when we got to the intersection first, we were shocked, but then very, very happy to partner with Brett and Mark,” she explained. “And then absolutely we were on a high, and then it just slowly kind of [dissipated].”

Meet ‘The Amazing Race’ Season 37 Cast — And Learn the New Twists

Ernest stepped up to complete the challenge alongside Romain, 37, where they were tasked with performing a taiko drum routine. While Romain, who is a performer in Las Vegas, was able to pick up the task easily, Ernest struggled greatly and cost the two teams their leads.

“[I was] probably missing a note here and there. I guess I don’t have the biggest rhythm going on here, which I probably should,” Ernest told Us. “But we stayed with it and we were able to finish that part. We just got so behind.”

While Ernest, Bridget, Romain and Hamby left the Intersection last, they realized they weren’t that far behind the others. After leaving the drums, the group embarked on the Detour challenge, where they had a choice of making mochi or learning how to properly wrap a sumo wrestler’s mawashi uniform.

Both teams opted for the sumo wrestling task, where multiple teams were still working — much to their delight. Romain and Hamby were able to persevere and get ahead of the pack, but Ernest and Bridget weren’t as lucky.

“When we got to the next challenge, we still had time to make up,” he reflected. “But we were just there. If it was a foot race, I think it would’ve been all right.”

With the stress of being in last place, Ernest and Bridget “zoned in” on accomplishing the task at hand — which might have been their downfall.

“We got so caught up in trying to catch up and pass,” Ernest explained. “We didn’t stop and think about, well, maybe we should probably switch [tasks.]”

Bridget echoed similar sentiments, sharing that she wished that she and her dad picked up on the fact that the sumo task wasn’t as simple as they believed.

“Instead of being so excited that other teams were there, I wish we could have been like, ‘Holy moly, why are they still there?’” she reflected. “This must be a hard challenge and maybe [we should] have done the mochi instead.”

While in the middle of the race, it’s hard to tell if one Detour task seems better than the other. But after watching the episode back, Bridget thinks she and her dad could have done the mochi task “a little quicker.”

Amazing Race's Mark and Larry Were 'Less Than a Minute' Behind Other Teams

Despite their loss, Bridget remained positive throughout the experience as she got to spend quality time with her dad.

“At the end of the day, I am in another country. I mean, I’m in Osaka, Japan. It is, at the end of the day, a game that I’m having the opportunity to compete with my dad,” she shared. “Yes, it was stressful, but I just wanted to keep reminding myself and as emotional as it was coming in last, like, not a lot of people get the opportunity to do something like this.”

The Amazing Race airs on CBS Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. ET and is available to stream on Paramount+ the next day.

Ever wonder what Parker Posey and Lisa Kudrow would be like as roommates? Breaking Bad alum Dean Norris exclusively told Us Weekly that he stayed in the same house with the comedic duo while filming The Parenting.

“Oh, it was like we had movie nights and game nights, and we would cook out together and all this kind of stuff. It was great. It was like one of the best off-set casts, off-set fun I’ve had with a cast,” Norris, , 61, told Us on the red carpet of the New York City premiere of the Max original film The Parenting on Tuesday, March 11.

Norris also couldn’t contain his excitement when he realized he would play Kudrow’s husband in the film, which debuted on Thursday, March 13.

“Lisa Kudrow is just [a] comic genius man,” he gushed to Us. “We met literally the first day I arrived.”

Celebrity Roommates: Ryan Gosling and Justin Timberlake, More

The Parenting, a comedy mixed with horror, follows a young couple, Rohan and Josh (played by Nik Dodani and Brandon Flynn, respectively), into a country house they have rented for the weekend to introduce their parents for the first time. However, they quickly find out that the home is haunted. The laid back parents of Josh, Liddy and Cliff (Kudrow and Norris), meet Rohan’s more structured adoptive parents, Sharon and Frank (Edie Falco and Brian Cox), and chaos ensues.

To prepare for his role, Norris tapped into his roots. “​​I found him rather quickly because I come from the Midwest. I thought he was a Midwestern, square guy, but he loves his gay son,” Norris told Us. “It was very important to me to have that in there.”

Norris previously played Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad from 2008 through the show’s final season in 2013. So how would Schrader, a Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agent, fight an evil entity lurking in the shadows of a weekend getaway rental? “I think he’d kick his f—ing ass,” Norris told Us.

Norris still keeps in touch with everybody from the Breaking Bad cast, including Bryan Cranston. “​​Oh yeah, email and text, chat lines and we don’t bother each other too much. But yeah, we talk a lot,” he told Us.

Posey plays eccentric house manager Brenda in the film. She also currently stars as Victoria Ratliff in a scene-stealing role from the hit show The White Lotus. Has Norris binge-watched her performance like everyone else?

“Not yet,” he told Us, “I can’t wait. I can’t wait. I heard she’s great and I can’t wait.”

Kelly Bensimon is officially an empty nester — so it’s time to downsize.

“My girls have left the nest, and it’s time for me to celebrate my new life filled with family, love and fun! Who’s coming along?” Bensimon, 46, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, March 13. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom duplex is on the market for $8,995,000.

The Real Housewives of New York City alum — who shares daughters Sea Louise, 27, and Thadeus Ann Bensimon, 25, with ex-husband Gilles Bensimon — explained in the video above that there two major aspects she loves about her former apartment at 240 Centre St. in Manhattan.

“First, it’s like a home because there’s so much space,” the real estate agent noted. “Second of all, there’s privacy because each person, family member, has their own bedroom. So I was upstairs, the girls were downstairs.”

Former ‘RHONY’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

The two-story unit is located in the historic Police Building, which was originally built in 1909 for police commissioner Teddy Roosevelt. The building, which stopped being used by the NYPD in 1973, is stunning with Romanesque and Beaux-Arts architecture and was designated a New York City landmark in 1978.

The apartment has massive windows, which helped Kelly stay upbeat. “It’s so gorgeous, the light is incredible, so you always are in a good mood,” she gushed.

She likely appreciated the extra help. Kelly told TikTok followers earlier this month that the apartment was her safe space when she called off her wedding to Scott Litner four days before the ceremony in June 2024. In the aftermath of their split, she stopped renting out the co-op and returned to the unit in July. Now, however, she has found a new home.

“Today we are packing. So we are packing for our trip to the Grenadines, and we are packing up the apartment that gave me the biggest hug and gave me so much strength after I called off my engagement,” she said in a TikTok video earlier this month. “And so now we are moving into a new, new 90 days of all good news.”

Next up is making her new place feel like home. “One thing that I like to do in apartments and houses — because not only do I sell and rent and help people buy all over the world — one thing that’s really important to me is a vibe because I built my own house,” Kelly said in another video. “So when you build your own house, you understand the value of how people want to live.”

Fans hoping to see Harry Styles perform during their next trip to Las Vegas may want to pump the brakes.

Despite rumors spreading online that the former One Direction member, 31, was in talks to play 35 dates at The Sphere, a spokesperson for the venue is clearing the air.

​​“To set the record straight, there has never been plans for Harry Styles to perform at Sphere,” a Sphere Entertainment spokesperson said in a statement to Us Weekly on Thursday, March 13. (Billboard was first to report the news.)

Instead, the venue is focused on upcoming shows from Kenny Chesney, Backstreet Boys and Dead & Company. Currently, The Eagles are enjoying a residency at the world class venue with select shows scheduled through Saturday, April 12.

Harry Styles Through the Years: From One Direction Heartthrob to Rock God

Styles has limited his live shows ever since his global Love On Tour ran from 2021 to 2023. The shows supported the singer’s Fine Line and Harry’s House albums.

As part of the tour, the “As It Was” singer performed 15 shows at New York City’s Madison Square Garden and another 15 shows at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California.

“To the most inspiring people I know,” Styles wrote via Instagram in July 2023 when ending the tour. “Goodbye for now. Love On Tour forever.”

Since the tour, Styles has kept a low profile and managed to avoid red carpets and star-studded events.

Earlier this month, however, some fans seemingly spotted the Grammy winner at a Sabrina Carpenter concert in London. Styles also surprised fans when he was spotted participating in the annual Tokyo Marathon.

In a video circulating on X, Styles was seen running incognito during the March 1 race, sporting a black Nike hoodie, matching shorts, neon-yellow sneakers and a pair of sunglasses.

Fans quickly did some digging and discovered Styles finished the race in just over three hours with his net time — the period between crossing the start line to the finish — ringing in at a total of 3:24:07.

Backstreet Boys Announce Las Vegas Sphere Residency

According to his official entry on the runner’s website, Styles kept an average pace of 4:51/km and was ranked 6,010 overall.

Running appears to be one form of self-care for the singer, who has spoken out about his love for Pilates workouts and meditation practices.

“I’ve got very tight hamstrings — trying to get those open,” Styles told Vogue in a 2020 profile. “It has changed my life, but it’s so subtle. It’s helped me just be more present. I feel like I’m able to enjoy the things that are happening right in front of me, even if it’s food or it’s coffee or it’s being with a friend — or a swim in a really cold pond.”

Hailey Bieber is a master of going pantless.

Bieber, 28, took to Instagram on Wednesday, March 12, to show off her mob wife-worthy look while vacationing in Paris, for fashion week. For a night out on the town, she wore nothing but a Saint Laurent furry coat featuring brown spots and pops of red, yellow and pink fuzz. Bieber teamed the topper with sheer black tights and pointed-toe heels. She further accessorized with diamond stud earrings, a gold ring and black sunglasses.

Elsewhere in her social media post, Bieber showed off another pantsless ensemble, featuring an oversized silver Schiaparelli coat, which she styled as a dress. The investment piece featured a textured finish, sleek pockets and eye-catching gold buttons on her sleeves.

The Rhode founder juxtaposed the more-is-more ensemble with chic accessories, like pearl earrings. She applied the same approach to her soft glam: a contoured pout, thanks to her Peptide Lip Shape Lift and Peptide Lip Tint, thentied her look together with a touch of blush.

Only Hailey Bieber Can Make Going Pantsless in Paris Look Posh

“32 hrs in the city of and ’s,” Bieber captioned the post, prompting celebrity friends to gush over her outfits.

“Ur just a cute girl!” Kylie Jenner wrote. Bieber’s makeup artist, Morgane Martini added, “Hot Mama .” Camille Charriere gushed, “Mama is OUT,” as Bieber’s stylist, Maeve Reilly wrote, “The glammmmm.”

Hailey Bieber Wears 2 Winter Statement Coats in Less Than 24 Hours

This isn’t the first time Beiber has shown off her gams sans pants. In September 2023, Bieber was once again visiting Paris when rocked a leather trench coat with nothing more than a nude top and high-waisted panties underneath. She cinched the va-va-voom combination with a black belt accented with gold metal hardware.

Martha Stewart’s experience working with Matthew McConaughey was short but memorable.

The two worked together on an Uber Eats commercial that aired during the 2025 Super Bowl in February, and Stewart, 83, admitted that McConaughey scared her.

“So I just worked with your costar, Matthew McConaughey,” Stewart told Kate Hudson during the Tuesday, March 11, episode of her eponymous podcast, causing Hudson, 45, to ask if he was “wild.” (Hudson previously worked with McConaughey in the romantic comedies How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and Fool’s Gold.)

“He got me scared actually,” Stewart replied, eliciting a laugh from Hudson. “There I am, I’m a board member of Uber Eats and I’m the one who’s making the Caesar salad, and Matthew — he had to play many characters in that commercial. He is a method actor, I think.”

Martha Stewart Warns 'Snitches Get Stitches' in Uber Eats Super Bowl Ad

Hudson asked, “Of commercials?” to which Stewart clarified, “Of characters. Because he had to play 10 characters, and he got into each character, it takes him about 15 minutes.”

“He’s grunting and breathing and jumping up and down,” she continued. “And that scared me.”

In one of the many football-themed commercials that McConaughey has shot for Uber Eats, he stood in the kitchen with Stewart as she prepared a Caesar salad in what he called a “super” bowl. He also portrayed legendary football coach Mike Ditka, a football executive and other characters in spots for the brand.

The Running Point star seemed to understand where Stewart was coming from, mimicking the grunting noises and telling her, “He’d make weird sounds. He makes sounds and does crazy things.”

“You probably just wanted to tell him to shut the hell up,” Stewart quipped.

“You just wait. It’s like his warmup,” Hudson replied, quick to add, “We have so much fun when we’re working.It’s been a long time.”

Hudson admitted that “McConaughey is one of “the most fun people to work with” for her, noting that they are both “very competitive” by nature. “And so we have this thing when we’re working together that’s really fun,” she said.

Despite the good-natured ribbing that the pair directed at McConaughey, both women agreed he is “fabulous” to work with.

Hudson has talked glowingly about working with McConaughey before. The two of them reunited on Instagram in 2023 to celebrate the 20th anniversary of How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, where they both spoke about their working relationship.

“When you went one direction, I went with you,” she recalled at the time. “But then I would be like, ‘I’m gonna throw him off a little bit. Let’s see what happens if I do a sharp right.'”

“What tickles me doesn’t bruise you; what tickles you doesn’t bruise me,” McConaughey replied. “We were never afraid to push it to what might be considered too far.”

While many budding musicians got their big breaks on the American Idol stage through the years, a handful lost their lives not long afterward.

Nikki McKibbin, who appeared alongside Kelly Clarkson and Justin Guarini on season 1, died in November 2020 at the age of 42. The Fear Factor alum, who finished in third place on the competition’s debut season in 2002, suffered a brain aneurysm several weeks before her death.

“She would already be gone, but she’s an organ donor and has been kept on life support to make that possible,” McKibbin’s husband, Craig Sadler, wrote via Facebook at the time. “That shouldn’t be a surprise to us. Even at the end she is still giving. She was so loved that I know thousands of you will be grieving with us. There are only a few hours left for me to hold her hand and kiss her forehead.”

McKibbin is not the only American Idol alum who has passed away after their reality TV tenure. Scroll below for more of American Idol’s biggest tragedies through the years:
