Allison Holker Defends Book as She's Criticized by tWitch's Family, Costars

Allison Holker is speaking out amid the backlash surrounding her decision to share personal details about late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss in her upcoming memoir.

On Tuesday, January 7, Holker, 36, gave a wide-ranging interview to People about This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, which tackles her life and Boss’ death by suicide. Some of Boss’ loved ones expressed their frustration with Holker’s revelations about her husband’s alleged drug addiction and more.

“Anyone who knows me, knows I go straight to the source during a conflict and handle my business,” Courtney Ann Platt, who appeared on So You Think You Can Dance alongside Holker, began via Instagram on Tuesday. “But since there’s clearly no shame in being so public, I haven’t said a word in two years but here I go. This is by far the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life.”

Platt, who says she was friends with the couple, specifically referenced how Holker mentioned details from Boss’ life he hadn’t mentioned publicly before his 2022 death, writing, “You’re a living, breathing bulldozer. Stick to your own demons. Shame on you Allison, shame on your money hungry team. Let my friend Rest in Peace not your PR.”

Boss’ brother Dré Rose, meanwhile, claimed there was ongoing tension between Boss’ family and Holker.

“We have noticed a disturbing lack of communication and inclusion concerning the children’s activities and well-being,” he wrote on Tuesday. “It’s disheartening that their interactions with their grandmother, and the wider family, have been noticeably limited.”

Holker has yet to respond specifically to Platt and Rose, but when fellow dancer Kelly Gibson wrote, “This whole thing made me sad. He’s gone. Why tear apart this name? This paycheck was not worth disgracing his name” in the comments of People’s post, Holker responded: “I’ll always love you. Just trying to help people feel safe to ask for help and support.”

Holker went on to repost several supportive Instagram Stories on her account. “Sharing this powerful message to remind us all how important it is to have open conversations about mental health,” read a message from a social media user.

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss Through the Years: 'Ellen,' Fatherhood and More

Us Weekly has reached out to Holker for comment. During her interview on Tuesday, Holker discussed finding closure after Boss’ sudden death. (Boss, best known for his all-star appearances on So You Think You Can Dance and as the regular DJ on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, died by suicide in December 2022 at age 40.)

“He was wrestling with a lot inside himself, and he was trying to self-medicate and cope with all those feelings because he didn’t want to put it on anyone because he loved everyone so much,” she told People about reading through her late husband’s journals after his passing. “He didn’t want other people to take on his pain.”

Holker revealed that Boss alluded to being sexually abused by a male figure during his childhood in the entries. “Reading Stephen’s journals, and even going back into the books he had read and the things that he was highlighting and lining, really gave me a better perspective of where he was in life and the type of things he was struggling with,” she told the outlet.”It did have me feel a lot of empathy towards him and sadness for all the pain that he was holding.”

According to Holker, Boss was also hiding an alleged drug addiction. (No drugs were found in the late dancer’s system at the time of his death.)

“I was with one of my really dear friends, and we were cleaning out the closet and picking out an outfit for him for the funeral,” Holker said about the “cornucopia” of drugs including mushrooms, pills and “other substances” she had to look up after finding them in Boss’ shoeboxes. “It was a really triggering moment for me because there were a lot of things I discovered in our closet that I did not know existed.”

She continued: “There was so much happening that I had no clue [about]. It was a really scary moment in my life to figure that out, but it also helped me process that he was going through so much and he was hiding so much, and there must have been a lot of shame in that.”

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org. If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, contact the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) National Helpline at 1-800-662-HELP (4357).

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Marriage Had ‘Total Shift’ After Baby: Source

Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber are experiencing a new set of relationship dynamics since becoming parents.

“There has been a total shift in their marriage since renewing their vows [in May 2024] and welcoming baby Jack,” a source exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “He’s truly brought them so much happiness and a renewed bond.”

According to the insider, fatherhood has put Justin, 30, in a good place mentally as the singer is “obsessed” with his little one. The source adds that Justin is a “really good dad.” For Hailey, 28, the insider says that the Rhode founder’s “main priority is being a mom right now.”

While the family of three are currently basking in new baby bliss, the couple are hopeful to have “a big family” at some point. The source notes that Justin and Hailey aren’t in a rush to expand their brood, adding that their philosophy when it comes to family planning is that it’s “up to ‘God’s plan.’”

Did Hailey Bieber Subtly Address Speculation About Marriage Trouble?

In May 2024, Justin and Hailey — who tied the knot in September 2018 — renewed their vows while simultaneously revealing Hailey’s pregnancy. The subtle announcement featured Hailey showing off her baby bump while Justin acted as the photographer. An additional snap featured Hailey and Justin cradling her pregnant belly.

Three months later, Justin shared that Hailey had given birth to their son. “WELCOME HOME,” he captioned an Instagram image of Hailey touching their son’s foot, which was wrapped in a blanket. “JACK BLUES BIEBER 🐻,” Justin added, publicly revealing their son’s name.

An additional source exclusively told Us at the time that the parents were in “total bliss” as they adjusted to their new roles as mom and dad.

“Justin is overjoyed and very hands-on. A lot of things will change,” the insider explained.“He’s a dad now and will be a lot more private and protective and focused on the family first.”

The source added that Hailey was “over the moon and in mom zone, and completely focused on the health of the baby.”

Since then, Hailey has given tiny glimpses of her and Justin’s life with Jack, from celebrating Halloween to cozy strolls as a family. While gearing up to ring in the New Year, Hailey reflected on the past year and her pregnancy.

“Thank you 2024,” Hailey wrote via her Instagram Story shared last month and alongside a throwback maternity pic of her looking off into the distance while lifting up her shirt to display her baby bump.

Justin, for his part, shared his gratitude for his wife as they rang in 2025.

“Um. Going anywhere with u bb. Happy New Year,” captioned a pic of Hailey dressed in a bikini which she paired with a leopard print coat, Ugg boots and a “Happy New Year” headband.

Paige DeSorbo Says SNL’s Marcello Had the Best Response to Cheating Rumors

Paige DeSorbo Says SNL Marcello Had the Best Response to Cheating Rumors

Paige DeSorbo did reach out to Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez following those Craig Conover cheating rumors.

“I don’t care about any rumor that is, like, ever said about me,” DeSorbo, 32, admitted during the Tuesday, January 7 episode of her “Giggly Squad” podcast. “The only thing that I was like, OK, can’t, like, let this go by was because it was a third party involved. People saying that I cheated on Craig with Marcello.”

The Summer House star said she “died laughing” when the rumors first started circulating online. Then, she reached out to Hernandez, 27.

“I felt weird. I was like, ‘I feel like I have to text Marcelo cause like what if he sees it?’” DeSorbo said. “‘What if he has a girlfriend?’”

Paige DeSorbo Replies to Fans Making TikToks About Craig Conover Split

The Bravo star said there was only “one time” she had texted Hernandez one-on-one prior to the apology. (DeSorbo said she tried to get into the SNL afterparty when comedian Shane Gillis was the host.)

“I just texted him. I was like, ‘Hey, just want to let you know, there was a rumor going around that I cheated on my boyfriend with you,’ and he was just like, ‘F— yeah,’” DeSorbo said as she and cohost Hannah Berner laughed.

Hernandez then started sending DeSorbo screenshots of hateful messages he was getting about the rumor.

“I was like, ‘Marcello, I’m so f—ing sorry. This is so embarrassing,’” she continued. “And no one involved was defending me, which I found interesting.”

DeSorbo announced late last month that she and Conover, 35, split after three years together.

“Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she said during the December 30 episode of the “Giggly Squad” podcast, sharing that there was no drama surrounding their split.

Paige DeSorbo Denies Bravo Told Her When to Announce Craig Conover Split

Days later, Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi posted a blind item claiming that DeSorbo spent New Year’s with a mystery man. Fans attempted to identify the alleged suitor when the “Snark Bait” podcast released an episode claiming that DeSorbo was linked to “a New York City-based comedian,” prompting Hernandez’s name to get tossed around.

DeSorbo shut down the speculation in various TikTok comments. “See you in court,” she joked when responding to one social media user, referring to the “Giggly Squad” phrase she coined with Berner.

Conover, for his part, stayed silent about the split for a little over a week before breaking his silence on Tuesday.

“Sorry about the delay, this has all been very, very unexpected to say the least,” the Southern Charm star said. “[It happened] right before the holidays. I was very shocked. And it’s OK. It takes two people to be in a relationship and you can’t control other people, you can only control how you react to it.”

Brooke Shields Feels ‘More Confident’ Than Ever Before as She Approaches 60

Brooke Shields has spent a lot of her life being pleasant. As a preteen, she smiled courteously as journalists inquired about whether she felt oversexualized and exploited in films like 1978’s Pretty Baby and her instantly iconic Calvin Klein ads two years later. She was the dutiful daughter to her mother and manager, Teri, whose alcoholism made their close bond indescribably complex. She smiled for the cameras when they followed her to Princeton University in 1985 and asked (as if it were their business) about her being a virgin. Young Brooke Shields was a master of standing out and being sweet.

As she grew up, she continued to shine but used her voice more defiantly — most memorably in a 2005 New York Times op-ed response to Tom Cruise’s attack on her use of antidepressants during postpartum depression after the birth of her first daughter, Rowan. She showed her comedy chops in four seasons of her NBC sitcom, Suddenly Susan, and multiple Broadway shows. She published two New York Times bestselling memoirs.

Then she had the nerve to do something (apparently) unexpected: She kept getting older. Though her confidence and joy grew as she aged — she turns 60 this spring — she writes in her new book, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman (on sale Tuesday, January 14), “I began to notice that external perceptions didn’t seem to match up with my internal sense of self. My industry no longer received me with the same enthusiasm I had come to expect. The vibe from casting agents and producers, but also my fans, was more: You need to stop time… and maybe even reverse it.”

To borrow a phrase from her book, f— that. Frustrated by “being overlooked at the exact moment I was feeling in my prime,” as she writes, she added a new entry to her résumé in 2024: founder and CEO of Commence, an online community and haircare brand designed for women over 40.

Brooke Shields and Chris Henchy's Family Album With 2 Daughters: Photos

“The more I’m expected to be invisible, to make no demands or to fade away so that I can be frozen in time as a specific (read: younger) version of Brooke Shields,” she writes, “the more fully I intend to stand tall and take up space as the woman I am now.” The star once known as America’s sweetheart talks to Us about stepping into her power.

The book opens with you and your daughters, Rowan, now 21, and Grier, 18, walking down the street and your realization that people are staring at them, not you. Tell Us about that.

The conflicts that we feel — they hit you all at once. There’s such protection, such pride and joy, and then it’s a reflection back on what you are no longer, technically. And I’m not saying there’s an envy or jealousy, but it’s a restructuring: They’re starting their journey as you’re reaching a level that is hopefully [more] happy and calm but comes with a lot of fraught feelings.

It’s the perfect setup for something you write later in the book: “When men stop noticing you, it’s a pretty good indicator of how the world at large is going to treat you.”

To me, I think anybody who has a daughter in particular can identify with: Oh, my God, I’m not that anymore. What is my value now?

Brooke Shields Says She Feels More Confident Than Ever Before as She Approaches 60
Deborah Feingold

You talk about learning to use invisibility to your advantage — letting people underestimate you and then capitalizing on that.

If you don’t get angry at it and find a way to harness it, it’s a tool. It’s funny, my girls are all righteous about these things: “How could you say that, Mom?” I’ll say, “My ego doesn’t have a problem with playing this game. I’m weakening my opponent into thinking I’m incapable.” I found it a source of definite power and strength.

I used to apologize or start off with “I’m probably wrong, but …” or, “Do 
you think possibly …?” I don’t have to come in weak anymore. And then I don’t have to finish it with, “But you know better.”

How have you learned to navigate these conversations?


You can defer and be respectful. Often I say, “This is your area of expertise, and I do not pretend to know a percentage of what you do, but in my opinion…” Then I’m a bit more on equal footing, and I don’t feel like I have to diminish myself to express something, whereas I think 
I used to be afraid to have an opinion.

So many women are more comfortable and confident in their 40s and 50s. Why is there this notion that women in middle age are completely miserable?

Because they have told us we’re miserable. And so if you even look at the nature of commercials, right, it’s always like, “Do you have dry skin? Are you this? Womp-womp.” That’s what the narrative is, and the beauty company, pharmaceutical or whatever it is, they’re going to come in and solve all your problems for you. Because if you’re happy, well, what if you don’t need their dry-skin cream? So it’s this whole conspiracy we’ve been fed.

Brooke Shields Says She Feels More Confident Than Ever Before as She Approaches 60
Brooke Shields. Deborah Feingold

That’s totally right.

Yes, [aging] does have the downsides, but [we’re] no longer chasing something: gotta have babies by this age, gotta get married, gotta finish college. There are so many decades where we’re just trying to get to the next stage. And then there’s a shift.

Once the pressure is off, you note, older women are more able to be themselves: “We can push boundaries when we’re moving through the world without the watchful eyes of, well, everyone.”

It doesn’t mean I’m less ambitious. If anything, I’m probably more ambitious because I feel I deserve it more. I still get afraid. I still get nervous I’m not good enough. I still have to force myself to push through, [but] we are becoming unignorable. We’re pretty formidable, and I think that’s a little frightening for everybody.

Brooke Shields Explains Why She 'Fought' Against Daughter's Modeling Career

It takes a different kind of strength to allow yourself the grace to say no — for example, you declined an invitation to perform alongside Broadway powerhouse Cynthia Erivo and Susan Boyle of Britain’s Got Talent. How do you decide when to say no to what seems like — to everyone else, at least — a golden opportunity?

There’s a sense of healthy humility, [of] why would you want to do that to yourself? It’s not, I’m “less than” as a person, but there’s no way my capabilities reach theirs. I used to think if I was just good enough, I would go and at least hold my own, and that would be a feat in and of itself. But you have to say, “I don’t want that feeling in my stomach that I would undoubtedly feel.”

You devote a chapter to becoming an empty nester as first one, then both of your daughters left for Wake Forest University in North Carolina. “My girls have a lot of skills I never did,” you write. Have you worked to guide them away from habits you don’t love in yourself, such as people-pleasing?

I have one that’s very much a people pleaser, and I have a younger one who’s about right and wrong, and it doesn’t matter what people think. She’s very strong in her opinions. Even her reactions — I will say, “Aren’t you embarrassed?” And she’s like, “No. No, I am not.” And she’s 18, maybe she’ll feel differently. My older one really does straddle that, and I don’t know if it’s age, birth [order], whatever — we are the most similar, in our approach to life and our actions.

I’m so proud that I have cleared space for them to be able to contradict me, express their feelings and not be afraid they’re gonna be judged. And being OK if I don’t agree with them. They just have different ways of expressing it to me.

Flation Books

One thing that is so specific to you is how much of your life has been documented. What is it like to look back and see the girl you once were, who was under so much scrutiny?

I have such empathy. My heart just sort of swells for her and her desperate, desperate need to protect her mom and take care of everything. It felt like it just was what I was gonna do.

And today?

I see myself now [at Commence HQ], and I never aspired to be in a position like this. I think about the Zoom I had this morning with one of our investors, and how clear I was for that; and how I was in therapy an hour before; and how I’m navigating my kids; and how I’m helping my husband through something; and you just see all of these different spokes of a woman’s wheel, you know? There’s pride, because I don’t give a s— if someone doesn’t like me anymore. I mean, yeah, you get the little pang, but I sit back and I think, I don’t even know if I respect you, so why would I worry so much about you liking me?

Sandra Lee Shares Video of Malibu Fires Dangerously Close to Her Home

Sandra Lee is just one notable name who has been impacted by the current wildfires in Los Angeles.

“My home in Malibu has got me through some of the darkest moments in my life. I have loved creating it, embellishing it, building it, caring for it, and protecting it,” Lee, 58, shared in an Instagram caption on Tuesday, January 7. “I’ve cherished every moment I have had with it. As the fire draws closer, I pray for it — I pray for everyone in Los Angeles right now. What an incredibly terrifying moment for my community.”

The celebrity chef continued, “As the fire reaches our doorstep, please stay in contact with each other; Community in times like these is our lifeline. We are all safe but the fire is inching closer to my slice of heaven in Malibu.”

Lee told followers about her long history in Malibu — starting when she was a waitress in 1989.

“I dreamed of a home like this (FOR ME) and worked my butt off for it,” she wrote. “I am sad but I am sending all my love to all the first responders and firefighters who are literally giving it all they’ve got to keep us safe!!! Love and Prayers always.”

Along with her hopeful caption, Lee shared three videos as the fires raged on. The first was taken as she started evacuating her home, which was meters away.

“Sandra, it’s right here,” a voice is heard saying in the background of the clip as Lee zooms in on the fire in her area. “I got everything I could.”

A second video showed Lee recording some of the damage from the fires as she was driving. Black smoke is seen covering the road as she passes by a firetruck going the other way. In a third clip, Lee recorded billowing gray smoke in the air over a body of water as ash fell from the sky.

The Los Angeles Times reported that an extreme wind storm caused by the Santa Ana gusts started brush fires in L.A. on Tuesday, with citizens evacuating for safety reasons. More than 13,000 structures are “under threat,” the Associated Press also reported on Tuesday, noting that the fire’s origin has not yet been confirmed.

Lee isn’t the only star who has shared her experience with the fires. Eugene Levy spoke with the L.A. Times on Tuesday, revealing that he had also been evacuated from his home.

“The smoke looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon,” the Schitt’s Creek star told the newspaper. “I couldn’t see any flames but the smoke was very dark.”

Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater are spellbound by one another!

The Wicked costars, who have been dating since July 2023, put on a loved-up display at the National Board of Review Awards in New York City on Tuesday, January 7, as they celebrated their movie winning the Best Film award.

Grande, 31, had her arm through Slater’s as they took the stage to collect the prize with costar Cynthia Erivo. The couple were also photographed cozying up to one another during the ceremony, with Grande resting her face against Slater’s. At one point, they appeared to enjoy a chat with fellow guest Kieran Culkin.

For Tuesday’s red carpet occasion, Grande continued to channel her Wicked character, Glinda, in a baby pink gown with spaghetti straps. She wore her hair in a sleek ponytail. Slater, meanwhile, looked dapper in a shiny black suit.

Have Ariana Grande and Ethan Slater Met Each Other's Families?

Grande and Slater first met on the set of Wicked in December 2022. Us Weekly confirmed they were dating in July 2023 following the end of their respective marriages. (Grande was wed to Dalton Gomez, while Slater shares a son with ex Lillie Jay.)

In December, a source told Us that the couple are completely head over heels for one another as they celebrate Wicked’s box office success. (The film grossed over $450 million in the U.S.)

“Ariana and Ethan have written a whole new book together,” the source told Us exclusively. Even though they’ve been together for more than a year, they are “still in the honeymoon phase of pure bliss,” a second insider shared.

“The Wicked press tour made their relationship ever stronger, and Ariana is over the moon about Ethan,” the source continued. “They have so much in common, which is something Ari never had with past relationships.”

Grande’s romance with Slater is “a new dynamic” for the singer, the second insider told Us. The first source added that the couple is “living in bliss” following the release of Wicked, adding that “their friends are fully supportive.”

Ariana Grande Sweetly Supports Boyfriend Ethan Slater With Rare Comment

In an interview with GQ in October, Slater opened up about his relationship with the “Into You” singer, which began soon after they both separated from their spouses. Both actors denied that they cheated on their then-partners amid widespread speculation.

“Obviously, it was a really super big year, and I think there was something that was really difficult about things in your private life being commented on and looked at by the public,” he said. “There were a lot of big changes in private lives that were really happening, so it’s really hard to see people who don’t know anything about what’s happening commenting on it and speculating, and then getting things wrong about the people you love. So just to address that part of it, that feels really hard.”

RHOBH's Dorit Kemsley Hopes for PK Marriage Update in 'Another 6 Months'

The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsDorit Kemsley is giving a status update on her marriage to PK Kemsley.

“We stand in exactly the same place we were at the very beginning,” Dorit, 48, said on the Tuesday, January 7, RHOBH After Show when asked where she and PK stand after announcing their separation in May 2024.

Dorit continued, “There is movement but it’s just not forward — it’s left to right. I’d love to go forward, and I’m consistently trying to advocate for that.”

“Ask me in another six months. Hopefully, I’ll have a better answer,” she added, noting that she and PK, 57, have “work that needs to be done” to resolve the issues between them.

During Tuesday’s episode of RHOBH, Dorit recalled to costar Bozoma Saint John a marriage counseling session with PK in which he allegedly yelled, “This is why I want a divorce and I don’t want to be married to this woman.”

On the After Show, Dorit described the alleged comments as a “dagger in the heart.”

“It wasn’t like a sensible, ‘Listen Dorit, I’ve reached a point in our marriage where I want a divorce.’ You don’t know if it’s reactionary. It’s like, ‘Wait a minute, this is the first time you’ve said it.’ This is serious words,” she said. “I’m entitled to know your feelings. I don’t understand.”

As for whether the couple will reunite or proceed with a divorce, Dorit is uncertain.

Everything We Learned About Dorit and PK's Divorce in 'RHOBH' Premiere

“Am I preparing for a divorce? Am I not? It’s such a mindf—,” she explained to Bozoma. “When we’ve made up [and] we’re peaceful, [he says], ‘Oh, please, I say things!’ It’s so hard.”

Dorit also told Bozoma that the uncertainty about whether she and PK will divorce or not is part of why she hasn’t told their kids — son Jagger, 10, and daughter Phoenix, 8 — about their separation.

“Him and I need to figure it out so that I can prepare them. That’s one of the biggest reasons why I didn’t want to tell them immediately,” she shared. “It is a game of ping-pong. I don’t want my kids having to deal with that.”

Dorit and PK announced their separation last May after nearly a decade of marriage. “We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage. We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together,” the pair wrote in a statement shared via Instagram. “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children. We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey. With love, Dorit and PK.”

RHOBH's Dorit and PK Said ‘Really Ugly’ Insults to Each Other Before Split

The aftermath of the couple’s separation was showcased during the RHOBH season 14 premiere in November 2024.

Speaking to Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the premiere, Dorit said she and PK had yet to discuss an actual divorce.

“We’re navigating this period,” she explained. “I just really hope that, regardless of where we go — I think if we end up getting back together — that there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. You don’t reach this place and want to just jump back into the saddle without having done the work that you know is necessary to enjoy the marriage and have the communication that you really need.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET and streams the next day on Peacock.

Ryan Reynolds was all smiles in his first red carpet appearance since his wife Blake Lively sued Justin Baldoni.

The Deadpool & Wolverine actor, 48, stepped out in New York City on Tuesday, January 7, for the National Board of Review Annual Awards, where he presented the Best Film award to Wicked.

Reynolds cut a suave figure on the red carpet, wearing a gray suit with black satin lapels. The star accessorized his look with a dashing pair of reading glasses.

Wicked stars Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo and Ethan Slater joined the actor on stage at Cipriani Wall Street as he presented them with the Best Film prize. Reynolds was pictured hugging both Grande and Erivo as they took the stage.

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s Alleged Feud and Lawsuits Explained

Tuesday’s red carpet appearance comes after Reynolds, Lively and Deadpool & Wolverine costar Hugh Jackman opted not to attend the Golden Globes on Sunday, January 5, amid Lively’s ongoing legal battle with her It Ends With Us costar and director.

“Ryan and Hugh were not confirmed to attend and the decision has nothing to do with [sic] legal battle,” a source confirmed to Us Weekly on Saturday, January 4.

According to Deadline, Lively, Reynolds and Jackman decided not to attend the awards ceremony on Sunday well before the It Ends With Us legal issues, and their respective absences were unrelated to the ongoing scandal.

Lively, 37, filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, 40, on December 31, accusing him of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment on the set of their Colleen Hoover film adaptation. On the same day, Baldoni filed a lawsuit against The New York Times for its coverage of an earlier complaint Lively filed with the California Civil Rights Department, accusing the publication of libel and false light invasion of privacy, among other things.

Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, confirmed last week that the actor/director is planning to file a separate lawsuit against Lively.

When Did Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively Unfollow Justin Baldoni on IG?

“We plan to release every single text message between the two of them. We want the truth to be out there,” Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told NBC News on Thursday, January 2. “We want the documents to be out there. We want people to make their determination based on receipts.”

Reynolds, for his part, has found himself drawn into the costars’ legal battle. In Baldoni’s lawsuit against the New York Times, he accused Reynolds and Lively of an “inappropriate and humiliating berating” in an allegedly hostile meeting at their New York City apartment before filming It Ends With Us and that they chastised him for “fat-shaming” Lively. Baldoni said the confrontation was “delivered, perhaps intentionally, as other celebrity friends were coming in and out of their penthouse.”

Every Counterclaim Made in Justin Baldoni’s New York Times Lawsuit

Baldoni also claimed that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent to drop him as a client at the New York City premiere of Deadpool & Wolverine last year in an attempt at “destroying Baldoni’s career and personal life.” (Baldoni was dropped as a client by WME last month.)

On January 1, WME told The Hollywood Reporter, “In Baldoni’s filing, there is a claim that Reynolds pressured Baldoni’s agent at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere. This is not true. Baldoni’s former representative was not at the Deadpool & Wolverine premiere nor was there any pressure from Reynolds or Lively at any time to drop Baldoni as a client.”

Lisa Kudrow ‘Recently Found’ Secret Note From Matthew Perry After His Death

Lisa Kudrow discovered a hidden note from Matthew Perry around one year after the actor passed away.

Kudrow, 61, told Drew Barrymore on the Tuesday, January 7, episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, that she “recently found” a note written to her by Perry while the pair were working on the final episode of Friends in 2004.

Perry, who died in October 2023 at the age of 54 after suffering acute effects of ketamine, had placed the note inside a cookie jar prop he had taken from the hit TV comedy series’ set. “Matthew gave that to me at the end of our last episode,” Kudrow told Barrymore, 49. “I had recently found the note that he had in it for me. I hadn’t opened it up or looked inside of it. But yeah, he did. He had a note in there and I forgot about it.”

Kudrow did not share what was written inside the note, but added that, “timing is everything.”

Lisa Kudrow Reveals She’s Rewatching ‘Friends’ for Matthew Perry

The cookie jar was a familiar prop on the Friends set, constructed to resemble a clock with the words, “Cookie Time,” written across it. Kudrow, who portrayed the eccentric Phoebe Buffay on the show, which began in September 1994 and spent ten years on TV screens, recalled a touching memory about the jar during her 2020 appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

“We were shooting a scene years before we finished,” Lisa told Kimmel, 57, on the talk show in May 2020. “My line was, ‘Ohhh, I’m late. I better get going,’ and it was too late when I realized I don’t have a watch. As the words were coming out I went, ‘Oh good there’s a clock,’ and I gestured to that [the cookie jar] and said, ‘Oh look at the time. I better get going.’”

Kudrow added that Perry, who portrayed the hilarious Chandler Bing, went up to her after her comment and said, “Did you point to the cookie jar and say, ‘Look at the time’?” to which both Kudrow and Perry laughed.

Perry’s death was ruled an accident two months after he was found unresponsive in a hot tub at his Los Angeles home. The actor was pronounced dead on October 28, 2023.

The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office released a toxicology report concluding that Perry died from ketamine effects, with drowning, coronary artery disease and the effects of buprenorphine (used to treat opioid use) listed as contributing factors.

In a tribute to Perry posted via Instagram on November 15 that year, Kudrow wrote, “Thank you for making me laugh so hard at something you said, that my muscles ached, and tears poured down my face EVERY DAY. Thank you for your open heart in a six-way relationship that required compromise. And a lot of ‘talking.’ Thank you for showing up at work when you weren’t well and then, being completely brilliant.”

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt Lose Home in Pacific Palisades Fire

Spencer Pratt’s sister, Stephanie Pratt, revealed her brother and his wife, Heidi Montag, lost their Los Angeles home as the Pacific Palisades fire continues to ravage the Los Angeles area.

According to an Instagram post from Stephanie, Montag, 38, and Pratt, 41, lost their property as the blaze took hold of the star-studded area on Tuesday, January 7. (TMZ was first to report on the news with sources telling the outlet the “entire family was able to safely evacuate earlier in the day.”)

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives of the couple for comment.

In the late hours of Tuesday, Stephanie, 38, shared that she was devastated for her family. “Honestly looking for advice. I’m frozen in shock. How horrible for my sweet little nephews to watch their house disappear like this. They must be so scared and confused,” she captioned a photo of the fire. (Pratt married his Hills costar in November 2008 and the pair share two sons, Gunner, 6, and Ryker, 13 months.)

Spencer Pratt Thinks Heidi Would 'Upstage' the ‘Real Housewives' Cast

Stephanie, who also appeared on The Hills, posted an Instagram Story to expand on the news. “I am beyond heartbroken for my brother, Heidi & the kids,” Stephanie posted alongside a photo of Spencer watching the blaze. “Just spoke to my dad- he tried to save my brother’s house but the wind is so strong there was nothing he could do.”

Earlier on Tuesday, Spencer took to social media to share footage of the raging fire via his Instagram Story capturing a light aircraft flying through the sky and dumping water over the affected region as thick black smoke launched off mountains in the background and foreground.

TMZ, meanwhile, shared a video of Spencer standing outside his home, his mobile phone in hand as he watched the fire devastate his neighborhood alongside a loved one. At one stage during the clip, Spencer was seen wiping his eyes as either smoke or a fleck of ash affected his sight.

The footage then captured the blaze itself as Spencer was seen pointing out to indicate how close the fire had reached.

The out-of-control wildfire, which has burned through more than 1,200 acres in Pacific Palisades which house many celebrity residents, sparked local evacuations earlier on Tuesday.

Casino actor James Woods shared footage of the natural disaster before he evacuated his own property, taking to X to post a video of his surroundings and captioning it, “Leaving.”

USA Today reported on Tuesday that mass evacuation orders for “roughly 30,000” residents, in addition to power shutoffs, have affected the star-studded area. The fire was first reported at around 10 a.m. after it was seen gaining momentum along West Sunset Boulevard.

Eugene Levy evacuated “early” on Tuesday, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Steve Guttenberg, meanwhile, was seen taking action on Tuesday, spending significant time assisting fire crews by moving cars in order for emergency vehicles to access roads.

Guttenberg, 66, told KTLA in an interview filmed on the street, “I live right up the hill. I have friends up there right now, and they can’t evacuate because it’s stuck on Palisades Drive. There are families up there, there are pets up there, there are people who really need help.”

The fire also cancelled multiple scheduled events in the area including the premieres for Jennifer Lopez’s new film Unstoppable, and Wolf Man starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner.

Los Angeles’ Pacific Palisades Fire: Which Stars Are Affected?

Los Angeles is seeing a frightening natural weather event — and its star-studded community has been impacted.

An extreme wind storm, caused by Santa Ana gusts, sparked fast-burning brush fires at around 10 a.m. on Tuesday, January 7, with drivers along Sunset Boulevard and Palisades Drive abandoning their cars to seek safety, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Local areas were evacuated, including the celebrity haven of Pacific Palisades, located about 20 miles west of Downtown L.A., where A-list stars are renowned for their sprawling luxury homes.

Stars including Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Ben Affleck, Jennifer Aniston, Bradley Cooper, Reese Witherspoon, Adam Sandler, Michael Keaton, Miles Teller, Michael Mann, Ann Sarnoff, Alan Bergman, Kathleen Kennedy and Carol Lombardini all reside in the exclusive enclave.

Why Was Jennifer Lopez's 'Unstoppable' Premiere Canceled?

Mass evacuations, which have seen more than 30,000 locals leave their home in search of safer ground, affected Steve Guttenberg, who assisted firefighters by moving abandoned cars to nearby streets to improve emergency access. The Police Academy star said during an interview with KTLA on Tuesday, “I live right up the hill,” before pointing at visible flames. “I have friends up there right now, and they can’t evacuate because it’s stuck on Palisades Drive. There are families up there, there are pets up there, there are people who really need help.”

Casino star James Wood was also evacuated from his home, sharing photos and footage of raging flames via X on Tuesday.

One photo, which caught the flames and thick smoke gushing towards the sky, was captioned, “The view from one of our security cameras.”

A subsequent video was also captioned, “Leaving,” before another post from Woods read, “To all the wonderful people who’ve reached out to us, thank you for being so concerned. Just letting you know that we were able to evacuate successfully. I do not know at this moment if our home is still standing, but sadly, houses on our little street are not.”

Eugene Levy was also evacuated. Speaking to the Los Angeles Times over the phone on Tuesday, the Schitt’s Creek star said, “The smoke looked pretty black and intense over Temescal Canyon. I couldn’t see any flames but the smoke was very dark.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the National Weather Service labelled the wind storm a “particularly dangerous situation … Red Flag Warning event.” This type of alert affected Malibu, the San Gabriel Valley, the San Fernando Valley, Beverly Hills, Hollywood Hills, the Santa Monica Mountains, the San Gabriel Mountains, Eastern Ventura Valley and coastal areas adjacent to the Sepulveda pass, per the outlet.

The Associated Press reported that more than 13,000 structures are “under threat” and the origin of the fires has not been confirmed.

The weather event also affected scheduled high-profile events in the area including the premieres for Jennifer Lopez’s new film Unstoppable, and Wolf Man starring Christopher Abbott and Julia Garner.

Pink and Carey Hart Celebrate 19th Wedding Anniversary: ‘My 1 Constant’

Pink and Carey Hart  have found the secret to making their relationship work, no matter the circumstance.

The twosome met in 2001 at the Summer X Games in Philadelphia. After reconciling following a brief split in 2003, Pink proposed to Hart in 2005 while the motocross racer competed during the Pro 250 class finals in Mammoth, California. They tied the knot in Costa Rica in 2006.

The “Just Give Me a Reason” singer revealed in 2008 that the pair had called it quits after two years of marriage. Their separation inspired her tracks “So What,” “Mean,” “I Don’t Believe You” and “Please Don’t Leave Me,” all of which appeared on her Funhouse album that same year.

The duo ultimately found their way back to each other, as Pink confirmed their reconciliation in February 2010. Nearly eight years later, she brought up their rocky past while commemorating their 12th anniversary via Instagram. “12 years married today. 16 if ya count the 4 years we spent deciding if we were going to live together forever or kill each other,” she captioned a collection of pictures of the couple from over the years in January 2018. “It’s been a nice mix of that ever since. Get em’ young and train em’ ladies. I still have a crush on you @hartluck.”

Pink and Hart are now the parents of daughter Willow, born in 2011, and son Jameson, born in 2016.

The Grammy winner previously opened up about how becoming a parent alongside Hart has “completely changed” her for the better. “I’m much more open. I’m much more accepting of myself. I’m much more thoughtful,” she told Carson Daly on Today in 2019. “I plan more. I have to. I have to figure out the balance.”

She added, “I think about the world more and what we’re leaving for these kids and the direction we’re headed in so I guess it changes your music, but I’m not writing songs to my children because I feel like the best ones have already been written.”

The pair separated two years after their wedding. Pink shared the news on her website at the time, writing: "The most important thing for you all to know is that Carey and I love each other so so much. This breakup is not about cheating, anger, or fighting. I know it sounds like cliché bulls--t, but we are best friends, and we will continue to be."

During their 2008 split, the pair even went as far as drawing up divorce papers before they reconciled. “We’ve had two breaks,” Pink explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016. “The first one was about a year. And the second one was 11 months.”

The songstress called her 2008 single “So What” a “vomiting of truths” because she mentioned losing her husband in the lyrics. She also credits the song’s music video as the reason why they reunited, since they got back together after she called to ask him to appear in the clip.

The Pennsylvania native confirmed that the duo reconciled after seeking marriage counseling. “It’s the only reason that we’re still together,” she said 10 years later during an Instagram  Live in June 2020. “I think partners, after a long time — I can't say it’s a man and woman thing, I think it’s a partner thing, a spouse thing — you just speak two different languages.”

The “Beautiful Trauma” singer spoke about her turbulent relationship with the motocross racer in an interview with The Guardian in October 2017. “There are moments where I look at [Hart] and he is the most thoughtful, logical, constant … he’s like a rock. He’s a good man. He’s a good dad. He’s just the kind of dad I thought he’d be and then some,” she said. “And then I’ll look at him and go: I’ve never liked you. There’s nothing I like about you. We have nothing in common. I don’t like any of the s--t you like. I don’t ever wanna see you again.”

“Then two weeks later I’m like, things are going so good, you guys. Then you’ll go through times when you haven’t had sex in a year. Is this bed death? Is this the end of it? Do I want him? Does he want me?” she continued before adding, “Monogamy is work! But you do the work and it’s good again.”

The “What About Us” singer came to her husband’s defense after a troll took issue with his parenting skills. “I love your music, your kids are beautiful,” a commenter wrote on a photo of the couple’s son, Jameson, covered in chocolate. “But your husband, I’m sorry, lacks the responsibility your kids need in his care.”

Pink clapped back with some criticism of her own, replying, “You sound well informed on the performance of my husband as a father. Answer me this: how often have you spent time with my husband? How often have you watched him parent? Do you know my children? Are you aware of their development? Even better: what are your credentials in Parenting expertise?”

Hart took to social media to give thanks for his partner on their 13th wedding anniversary. “Who would have thought two misfits like us could pull it off!!!” he wrote on Instagram. “I’m very grateful for you, baby. We have created an amazing life and family together. I love you. #17YearsStrong.”

The athlete penned a touching 40th birthday tribute to his wife via Instagram in September 2019. “Welcome to 40 baby. I’ve celebrated 18 birthdays with you, and I can say it’s amazing growing up with you,” he wrote. “The person you have grown into is inspiring. You have become a successful business woman, superstar, dedicated mother, Philanthropist, supportive wife, wine maker, motorcycle mama, and amazing friend to all around you. I’m so proud of the woman you have become, and you are more beautiful than ever. You truly are like wine. You just keep getting better, and I’m so lucky to be along on this crazy ride with you. I love you baby. Looking forward many many more birthdays with you. I can’t wait to see how nuts you and I are in our 80’s. Enjoy your day.”

After taking home the People's Choice Champion Award on November 10 with her family by her side, the three-time Grammy winner stepped out for a performance with Chris Stapleton at the 2019 Country Music Association Awards a few days later. On the red carpet in Nashville, Pink took a moment to announce that she will be taking a break from music to spend more time with her biggest fans: her husband and their two children. "We did two-and-a-half years [recording and on tour] and Willow is back in school now and Jameson's gonna start preschool soon, so it's kind of the year of the family," the singer told Entertainment Tonight. Her decision to briefly step away from the spotlight was also made with her husband at the front of her mind. "He is super supportive. He follows me around the world, and now it's his turn."

The happy couple makes sure to keep their relationship both fun and light — including their annual dress-up party that takes place every December. In 2019, the lovebirds dressed as two of the “What About Us” singer’s heroes, Billie Jean King and John McEnroe. “I appreciate heart and determination in every facet of ones life. Serena is my modern day, of course. Booking tennis lessons as we speak,” the singer captioned the pair’s costume snap. Following the festivities, Pink and Hart took to the actual courts — playing tennis in real life.

The Pennsylvania native and her main man celebrated 14 years of marriage on January 7 and took to social media to commemorate the occasion. “So many years, So many hairstyles @hartluck…We’ve been at this thing a long time, babe. It isn’t perfect, but I’m grateful it’s ours,” Pink wrote via Instagram. “I love our family. Thank you for walking in front of me, beside me, and right behind me at times. ‘You’re a real man, carey hart.’ #agreetodisagree #fightnice #wehatethesamepeople #myrock #noonemakesmeangrierthanyou #butyouresuperhot.”

“14 years married to this amazing woman. I’m so proud of the life that we have built together,” Hart posted to his Instagram. “Both of us came from broken homes, yet we made the choice to work hard at our relationship. And look at us now! Two misfits when we met, we have grown together and now have an amazing family. Thank you for being my best friend (I know you don’t like that), and amazing mother to our wild kids. I love you so much.”

The couple went through a scary time when the singer and Jameson both battled coronavirus amid the global pandemic. “Battling COVID-19 along with my 3-year-old son was the most physically and emotionally challenging experience I have gone through as a mother,” she wrote in a Mother’s Day op-ed for NBC News in May. “Weeks after receiving our test results, my son was still ill and feverish. It was a terrifying time, not knowing what might come next.” One month earlier, Hart also said their battles were “intense” during an appearance on SiriusXM’s The Jason Ellis Show. “They both got extremely sick. My son probably got the worst of the two of them and it debunks the whole theory that this only hits old people. She has asthma and it totally attacked her lungs and her chest. She was having a hard time breathing.”

Pink opened up about their couples counseling during a candid conversation with Vanessa Inn via Instagram Live in June. “I got a lot of sh-t for telling people that Carey and I have been in couples counseling with Vanessa [Inn],” the songstress said while speaking to Inn about mental health. “So I talk to Vanessa on my own and I also talk to Vanessa with Carey and for Carey and I. It’s the only reason that we’re still together because you know, I think partners after a long time, we just speak — I can’t say it’s a man and woman thing, I think it’s a partner thing, a spouse thing — that you just speak two different languages.”

She continued: “You need someone to hear both of you and then translate it for you, and without Vanessa translating for me for the last 18 years, I mean we would not be together. We just wouldn’t because we are not taught as kids how to have relationships, how to get along with people."

Pink paid tribute to her husband on his 45th birthday on July 18. "Happy birthday @hartluck I still remember your 27th birthday. You're so much cooler now," she captioned a black-and-white photo of the pair by the ocean. "I hope this year is your happiest. #youdeservethebest your kids worship you and I am grateful for you every single day almost."

“Happy birthday to my MUCH better half, @pink,” the Seal Beach, California native wrote via Instagram on Pink’s 41st birthday on September 8 alongside five photos. “I’ve been w/ you for almost half of your life! It’s been so amazing to watch you grow from a young hell raiser, to the best mom to ever do it, role model, philanthropist, icon, and wife. Enjoy your birthday baby. Willz, jamo, and myself love you 😘.”

The “Raise Your Glass” singer got real about marriage and her dynamic with Hart in September 2020. “He’s still my favorite sweet little dirtball. He and I have been at this a long time, and it is our relentless and stubborn idealism that keeps us together,” she wrote via Instagram. “Marriage is awful, wonderful, comfort and rage. It is boring, terrifying, and a total nail biter. It is loving another fallible creature while trying to love yourself.”  
She continued: “It is a lifetime of coming back to the table. People laugh at us because we’re either fighting or laughing. They roll their eyes when we talk about therapy. But I’ll tell you what. It’s worth it. All of it. Even when it isn’t. I love you babe. I’m grateful we made it to this photo @hartluck.”

The “Raise Your Glass” singer commemorated the pair’s 15-year anniversary via Instagram in January 2021. “15 years. Proud of us babe,” she captioned several pics of the duo over the years. “See, sometimes being stubborn pays off. What a wild ride it’s been, once we learned how to stay in our race line. Here’s to at least the next 15 months hahahah. I love you and I love our family.  .”

Pink opened up about feeling "completely grateful" for the care she received following hip surgery.
"It was a brutal first week full of tears and pain med depression, ulcers from meds and constant fevers, but my @hartluck brought me through," she captioned a selfie via Instagram in November 2021. "(No one recovers from surgery like he does, he’s not real.) He brought me coffee in the shower, lugged around my 100 pound CPM contraptions every where I went, dried my tears, cooked me oatmeal, kept track of my meds, got me my phone charger, plugged in my compression machines, took my temp, made the bed, and talked me off the ledge."

While getting ready to attend the AMAs in November 2022, the “What About Us” singer posted a hilarious video about Hart’s unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
"I've been telling you guys that Mr. Hart has a juicy booty," Pink said in the clip, captioning the post, “Attack of the booty.”
After telling her two children that their dad "ripped his pants," she asked the motocross competitor what happened, to which he jokingly replied, “The ass blew out of my pants.”

The family of four posed for a picture after Hart completed a series of motocross races. “No better event to cap the race year off w/ than #DayInTheDirt. 4 days of camping, racing, story telling, and hanging w/ great people,” Hart wrote via Instagram in November 2022. “Was epic to have my family at the races cheering me on. Thanks to @pink for playing racer wife all weekend and holding down the camp!”

"I'm grateful to be alive. I'm grateful I get to do this with my one precious life. Most of all, Willow and Jameson, I'm grateful to be your mama,” the musician said while accepting the 2023 Icon Award at the iHeartRadio Awards in March.
Pink then gave her spouse a shoutout, saying, "Carey Hart, my muse. If he loved me perfectly, I would have nothing to say."

The couple took to social media to celebrate 19 years of marriage. 
“19 years ago on a beach in Costa Rica we both took a chance we weren’t sure we even believed in. I’m so glad we did,” the singer wrote via Instagram alongside a sweet selfie of her and Hart. “I’ve been with you longer than I haven’t. You’ve been my one constant. You have loved me, hated me, and loved me again. I love our story no matter what gets written. It is gritty and sweet. Thank you for being by my side all these years. I love you forever.” 
Hart also wrote his own tribute, sharing both a recent and throwback photo of the couple. “19 years married today to this amazing woman @pink,” he captained the post. “For over 20 years we’ve traveled the world, made a family, and created amazing memories & life together. Not bad for a couple kids who weren’t expected to amount to anything. You are like a fine wine, and I love you.”

‘The View’ Star Sunny Hostin’s Husband Emmanuel Named in Fraud Lawsuit

Sunny Hostin’s husband, Emmanuel “Manny” Hostin, has been named in an insurance fraud lawsuit filed in New York City.

According to legal documents obtained by the Daily Mail and viewed by Us Weekly on Tuesday, January 7, Emmanuel, who married The View cohost in 1998, is one of almost 200 defendants included in the lawsuit filed with the New York Eastern District Court on December 17, 2024.

Listed as “Emmanuel Hostin, M.D.,” the orthopedic surgeon, based at New York’s Mount Sinai Morningside and Mount Sinai West Hospitals, per U.S. Health, is accused of federal insurance fraud and “getting kickbacks by performing surgery and … billing a company that insured taxi companies and Uber and Lyft drivers,” as reported by the Daily Mail.

Us has reached out to representatives for Sunny and Emmanuel for comment.

Sunny Hostin’s Husband Was Not a Fan of Doug E. Fresh Dancing With Her

The lawsuit reads, “Hostin knowingly provided fraudulent medical and other healthcare services including arthroscopic surgeries.” The documents also allege that insurance firm American Transit was then billed “in exchange for kickbacks and/or other compensation which were disguised as dividends or other cash distributions.”

Emmanuel addressed the allegations via his attorney Daniel John Thwaites, telling the outlet that his client “denies each and every allegation.” Thwaites added that the lawsuit is a “blanket, scattershot, meritless lawsuit by a near-bankrupt insurance carrier.”

Thwaites offered further, “It is meant to intimidate and harass doctors from collecting for care given to American Transit insureds and their passengers. American Transit has rushed into the lawsuit without ever conducting an examination of Dr. Hostin or expressing any concerns to his lawyers. The real story here is about an insurance carrier abusing the legal system to limit and restrict health care benefits to its insureds and their passengers, and write off its proper obligations.”

Emmanuel and Sunny, 56, reside in Purchase, New York, and share two children — a son, Gabe, who was born in 2002, and a daughter, Paloma, who was born in 2006.

Sunny Hostin Shares the 1 Thing She Wishes She Had Done More as a Mother

Sunny, an attorney and multi-platform journalist who joined The View as a full-time cohost in 2016, has been candid about the various troubles her family has seen over the years. In January 2021, she revealed that Emmanuel’s parents both died from COVID-19 just weeks prior.

“Although I’ve chosen a very public career, as most of you know, those of you that know my husband, Manny, know that he is intensely private. But after speaking with him, he felt that from a public health standpoint it was very important for me to share that we are deeply saddened that Manny lost both of his parents over the holidays,” Sunny said on The View at the time.

Sunny added that her in-laws, Dr. Maria Jesus and Dr. A. Emmanuel, “were both physicians and they were both very careful” and “didn’t celebrate Thanksgiving with us because we all decided that it wasn’t safe. And after a lot of contact tracing, we still don’t know how they contracted this virus and this disease.”

According to the filing, American Transit is seeking at least $450 million in damages. An attorney for the company, William Natbony, told the Daily Mail, “‘No fault fraud is a huge problem in New York. American Transit filed a lawsuit as part of its statutory responsibility to fight such fraud.”

Garcelle Beuavais’ love life never ceases to amaze Us — and her latest dating reveal on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills is so on brand.

During the Tuesday, January 7, episode of RHOBH, Garcelle, 58, reflected on her past relationships while getting ready to go to the Los Angeles hotspot the Viper Room in celebration of castmate Erika Jayne.

“Erika’s being honored by the GLAAD Association and it’s at the Viper Room,” Garcelle said while getting her makeup done. “And was it owned by Johnny Depp?”

Once her makeup artist confirmed Depp’s previous ownership, Garcelle dropped a romance bombshell. (Depp sold his stake in the iconic club in 2004 as part of a lawsuit settlement involving alleged mismanagement.)

Garcelle Beauvais Calls Sean Penn 1 of the ‘Biggest’ Stars She's Dated

“I was in Miami at a club and yeah, made out with Johnny,” she confessed. “Isn’t that crazy?”

Garcelle didn’t go into any more detail about the alleged kiss with the Pirates of the Caribbean actor, 61, but she was right about his connection to The Viper Room.

Depp was one of the original owners of the music venue and nightclub when it opened in 1993 alongside his 21 Jump Street costar Sal Jenco. The club is now owned by James Cooper and Silver Creek Development.

Depp isn’t the first A-list star that Garcelle has claimed to have hooked up with over the years. During the December 3, 2024, episode of RHOBH, Garcelle revealed the “biggest star” she’d been on a date with, listing Eddie Murphy, Will Smith and Sean Penn.

“Oh, I didn’t know about Sean Penn,” Erika, 53, replied, before revealing in her confessional that she would’ve made a few different choices if those were her past suitors.

Erika wondered, “Well, I just want to know if Garcelle dated Eddie Murphy, Sean Penn and Will Smith, why did she marry the man she married? Why not marry one of them, you know? I mean, that’s what I would have done.”

Garcelle previously talked about her fling with Smith, 56, during a 2020 episode of the Bravo series when the actor’s ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, made a cameo. (Smith and Zampino, 57, split in 1995 and he later wed Jada Pinkett-Smith.)

“He was hot,” Garcelle said of Smith at the time. “He was a bachelor, I was single, you know, it happens in Hollywood.”

One famous face she didn’t romance was Jamie Foxx, her costar on The Jamie Foxx Show from 1996 to 2001. The twosome later reunited on screen for 2013’s White House Down.

“I think me and you should have been together,” Foxx, 57, told Garcelle during a September 2020 episode of her “Going to Bed With Garcelle” podcast.

He teased that every time he sees Garcelle with one of her boyfriends he says, “Damn, I f—ed up!”

Outside of her Hollywood hookups, Garcelle had long-term relationships with ex-husbands Daniel Saunders and Mike Nilon. Garcelle was married to Saunders — with whom she shares 33-year-old son Oliver — from 1991 to 2000.

Garcelle was married to talent agent Nilon for nearly 10 years before she discovered he was unfaithful and they split in 2011. The exes share twin sons Jax and Jaid, 17.

Kyle Richards is prepared for the headlines she may receive after she brought Kesha to a Real Housewives of Beverly Hills event.

“Kesha and I met on Instagram. She was following me. We DM’d each other and she’s here with me tonight,” Richards, 55, said on the Tuesday, January 7, episode of Bravo’s reality show. “Yes, Kesha’s a musician and we’re friends — so let the rumors begin!”

Cameras rolled as the cast headed to the Viper Room in West Hollywood to celebrate costar Erika Jayne being honored by GLAAD.

Although Richards assured viewers her plus one was just a friend, the reality star’s romantic life has been put under the microscope as she navigates life after separating from husband Mauricio Umansky in July 2023. The pair were married for 27 years prior to their split.

Everything Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade Have Said About Each Other

One month after announcing the end of her marriage with Umansky, 54, Richards starred in singer Morgan Wade’s “Fall in Love With Me” music video. Her appearance left some fans questioning if they could potentially be dating.

At the beginning of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 in November 2024, however, Richards said she would not be talking about Wade, 30.

“I know there’s a lot of curiosity about the person they always talk about,” Richards said. “I’m not using her name intentionally. I don’t want to speak on anyone’s behalf except my own.”

During a separate interview for The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills: After Show, Richards provided a bit more context regarding her friendship with Kesha, 37.

“She was following me on Instagram and I followed her back and we said, ‘Oh, we should get together for dinner,’” Richards recalled to Jayne, 53. “We went to Venice or something and I sat down…and we started talking about everything and sharing everything and sharing all of our secrets.”

According to Richards, she “automatically connected” with the “Tik Tok” singer and a new friendship was born.

“I just automatically connected with her and she’s just so sweet and has such a big heart,” she said. “Kind, not judgemental, talented and creative. We started hanging out and we became really close friends fast.”

Kyle Richards and Morgan Wade’s Friendship Timeline

To prove Beverly Hills really is a small town, Kesha and Wade ended up doing a song together called “Walked on War.”  And yes, Kesha will be performing at the same London music festival as Jayne this June.

“I will be there with bells on,” Richards joked. “I’m so excited about that. I’m ready to go.”

RHOBH's Dorit Says PK Went to 4-Hour Therapy Session 'Coming for Battle'

Dorit Kemsley had a four-hour therapy session with estranged husband PK Kemsley that ended with them coming to blows.

“He went in very much with, like, coming to battle,” Dorit, 48, claimed during the Tuesday, January 7 episode of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. “In therapy, he throws out, ‘This is why I want a divorce, and I don’t want to be married to this woman.’ That’s the first time I heard it.”

During her confessional, Dorit said she was “blindsided” by PK’s vitriol.

“Boom, there’s a bomb,” she said. “We were so amicable a few weeks ago. The whiplash is hard to take.”

Everything We Learned About Dorit and PK's Divorce in 'RHOBH' Premiere

Dorit also said that PK, 57, “stormed out” of the therapy session while confiding in RHOBH newcomer Bozoma Saint John.

“I walked out of that therapy session, and I thought, ‘I need to start preparing,’” Dorit continued. “I know, I need to have a plan for every possible scenario because he’s too unpredictable.”

Dorit and PK announced their split in May 2024 after nine years of marriage. The duo told fans that they “had our struggles” over the years and “made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart.” The aftermath of their separation was showcased during the RHOBH season 14 premiere in November 2024.

When speaking with Us Weekly exclusively ahead of the premiere, Dorit said she and PK had yet to discuss an actual divorce.

RHOBH's Dorit Kemsley Is 'Hopeful' She and PK Can Conquer Marriage Woes

“We’re navigating this period,” she explained. “I just really hope that, regardless of where we go — I think if we end up getting back together — that there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. You don’t reach this place and want to just jump back into the saddle without having done the work that you know is necessary to enjoy the marriage and have the communication that you really need.”

Dorit noted that she does “think it’s possible” for a reconciliation between herself and PK.

“I think you need both people to want it,” she added. “I think sometimes having the time apart too, it can be healthy. It can also give us a chance to step back and look at our own positions and reflect and also do some work on ourselves individually so that we can bring a better version of ourselves to the marriage.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais is reflecting on the “long way” she’s come with son Oliver Saunders following his past struggles with addiction.

“My relationship with Oliver right now is really good,” Garcelle, 58, said during the Tuesday, January 7 episode of RHOBH. “Oliver was in a really dark place over the years. I had all kinds of emotions, sometimes all in one day — fear, guilt.”

Garcelle admitted that she often wondered what she did “wrong” as a parent during the throes of her son’s addiction.

“I had to practice tough love,” she said of her relationship with her son during that time period. “I knew he was homeless, and I knew he was in a bad place, and I couldn’t do anything.”

RHOBH’s Garcelle Beauvais Shares Update on Her Relationship With Son Jax

The Bravo star, who shares 32-year-old Oliver with ex-husband Daniel Saunders, teared up during Tuesday’s episode when remembering one particularly difficult moment involving her son.

“Years ago, I was at home [with] a girlfriend of mine. We were hanging out and it started getting late,” she said. “We heard a noise and I looked outside. I turned on the light and I saw it as Oliver.”

Garcelle continued, “It was Oliver in the body form, but it wasn’t Oliver. The way he acted, the way his eyes looked, the way he was so erratic.”

She said Oliver was attempting to get inside the pool house before she stopped him.

“This is my son that I’m not opening the door for,” Garcelle recalled through tears. “I watched him walk away and I didn’t take him in. I felt 1,000 pounds of guilt not letting him in.

The RHOBH star added, “This was the tough love that we had to do so that hopefully that’s the thing that changes things.”

Oliver is the father of 4-year-old son Oliver Saunders Jr. (OJ), whom he shares with ex-wife Samantha Saunders. The proud dad is gearing up to welcome baby No. 2 with girlfriend Shantei Paranda.

Garcelle previously spoke about Oliver’s addiction during a 2020 episode of RHOBH.

“If we’re all going to be honest, I’m not a perfect parent,” she told her castmates at the time. “My son Oliver has dealt with addiction since he was in the fifth grade. We have been through so much. … I would never judge another parent. I feel, sometimes, that I’ve messed up because I was too lenient with him.”

Austin Butler Through the Years: Nickelodeon to ‘Elvis’ and Beyond

Austin Butler has come a long way since his Nickelodeon days in the early 2000s — and fans are taking notice.

The California native broke into the entertainment industry in 2005 and instantly became a staple on the kids’ network with roles on both Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide and Zoey 101.

As he continued to gain fame, Butler stayed close to his inner circle, which includes Ashley Tisdale. The duo met when Butler was a teenager — well before he dated Tisdale’s other BFF Vanessa Hudgens — and went on to costar in 2011’s Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.

The pair’s friendship, however, has confused some fans after Butler and Hudgens called it quits in late 2019 after more than eight years of dating.

Butler, for his part, showed that there are no hard feelings between him and Hudgens when he revealed in April 2022 that Hudgens inspired him to take on the role of Elvis Presley for the film Elvis, which premiered that summer.

"It's the same thing I feel with Elvis; I wish that they could see these moments, you know? It's just sort of strange to celebrate at a time of such deep grief. But I sort of think of it as a way to honor her. This is for her."
