After sharing with the world in September that she had completed her chemotherapy treatments, Princess Kate Middleton is in remission.

In an Instagram post shared on Tuesday, January 14, Middleton wrote, “I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you to The Royal Marsden for looking after me so well during the past year.”

“My heartfelt thanks goes to all those who have quietly walked alongside William and me as we have navigated everything,” the princess continued. “We couldn’t have asked for more. The care and advice we have received throughout my time as a patient has been exceptional.”

“In my new role as Joint Patron of The Royal Marsden, my hope is, that by supporting groundbreaking research and clinical excellence, as well as promoting patient and family wellbeing, we might save many more lives, and transform the experience of all those impacted by cancer.”

“It is a relief to now be in remission,” she shared. “And I remain focussed on recovery. As anyone who has experienced a cancer diagnosis will know, it takes time to adjust to a new normal.”

Kate Middleton Discusses Cancer 'Side Effects' During Hospital Visit

“I am however looking forward to a fulfilling year ahead. There is much to look forward to. Thank you to everyone for your continued support.”

In a rare public outing this month, Kate and Prince William visited the hospital where she underwent her cancer treatments after receiving a diagnosis in early 2024.

During her visit, the Daily Mail reports that Kate talked with the staff and other patients in the midst of their own cancer battles.

During one of her conversations, the princess got honest about the side effects that come with various cancer treatments.

“You think treatment’s finished, crack on with that … daily tasks, but that’s still like a real challenge,” she told the hospital staff.

“And talking … the words totally disappear… understanding that as a patient, yes there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects.”

Kate continued to say how important it is to continue holistic care “on good days and bad days,” the Daily Mail reports.

“I feel like it’s sometimes for the loved ones around us. They need support just as much as I did as the patient.”

Princess Kate Middleton Is ‘In a Positive Place’ After Finishing Chemo

In a conversation with a current patient, Kate said, “The resilience you need to get through, first of all, a small taster of what you’ve gone through … It’s to keep coming back … to be as positive as you are. The treatments are really so different and so varied, it impacts families differently.”

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace said Kate decided to visit the Royal Marsden Hospital “to both show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world-leading care and treatment the Marsden provides.”

In her September video, Kate explained “the last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.”

“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life,” she continued, “which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”

Brooke Shields is getting real about why she parted ways with the Hallmark Channel after signing a massive deal with the network in 2014.

Shields, 59, recalled signing a 16-film deal with Hallmark Network more than a decade ago in her latest memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which was released on Tuesday, January 14.

“I’d completed only three when I realized I had to renegotiate. I’d been hired, I was told, to help change the face of the network,” she wrote. “They wanted me to be funny and bring more comedy to their offerings, but as filming progressed on each of the Flower Shop Mysteries — the franchise I was hired to headline — all the humor had evaporated.”

Shields starred as Abby Knight, a flower shop owner and ex-lawyer, in the three films. Her first movie with the network, titled Mum’s the Word: A Flower Shop Mystery, premiered in January 2016. Her second, Flower Shop Mystery: Snipped in the Bud, aired in April 2016. Shields’ third and final appearance as Abby Knight came in June 2016 with Flower Shop Mystery: Dearly Depotted.

Brooke Shields Opens Up About Her Daughters Now Being Noticed Instead of Her

“Not everything is for everyone, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with the Hallmark Channel — God knows it has a huge fan base — but it was not the future I wanted for my career,” Shields wrote. “I’m never against hard work, but I am now a believer in only saying yes to work that serves me.”

The actress explained that she could “make a living with other opportunities,” especially ones that allowed her to spend more time with her family. (Shields shares daughters Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18, with husband Chris Henchy.)

“I simply could not do ten more films that were not what I was promised and felt completely wrong for me,” she wrote. “So I quit. I definitely surprised some people, and in plenty of ways I surprised myself. I certainly would never have done that in my 20s.”

Despite ending her partnership with the network, Shields returned years later for one of their famous holiday films. She starred in the 2021 flick A Castle for Christmas alongside Cary Elwes.

A lot of Shields’ latest memoir focuses on how her mindset has changed by getting older in the public eye. The actress did tell Us Weekly exclusively in a recent cover story that she feels “more confident” than ever ahead of her 60th birthday.

“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,” she shared. “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 Is Not Allowed to Get Old is out now.

The tragic wildfires that have engulfed large parts of southern California have greatly impacted the sports world and prominent members of the sports community. 

Since a fire first sparked in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, more than 17,000 acres have been burned. Subsequent fires in the region have burned a total of more than 40,000 acres, leaving at least 24 people dead. 

In the aftermath of the blazes, professional sports teams in the area — including the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and NHL’s Los Angeles Kings — have been forced to postpone games. The NFL’s Los Angeles Rams relocated a game altogether, moving their Wild Card playoff game against the Minnesota Vikings to Glendale, Arizona. 

On Monday, January 13, all 12 major Los Angeles-area professional sports teams — including the MLB’s Los Angeles Dodgers and Angels, NHL’s Anaheim Ducks, WNBA’s Los Angeles Sparks and MLS’ Los Angeles Galaxy — pledged a donation of more than $8 million to “support victims in need, as well as those fighting the fires.

For more on how the wildfires have impacted the world of professional sports, keep reading.

Los Angeles Rams Relocate Playoff Game to Arizona

The Los Angeles Rams were forced to relocate their Wild Card round playoff game, originally scheduled to take place at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium, to Glendale, Arizona. 

In a game that was as emotional as it was cathartic, the Rams defeated the Vikings 27-9, earning a date with the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL’s Divisional Round on Sunday, January 19. 

The crowd was filled with Rams fans, many of whom had made the trip from Los Angeles. Kelly Stafford, the wife of Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, was responsible for chartering multiple buses from L.A. to make sure diehard Rams fans could be in attendance. 

“We knew we weren’t just playing for us,” Matthew, 36, told reporters after the game. “We were playing for people back home who needed something to watch and enjoy.”

Lakers, Clippers and Kings All Reschedule Games

The NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and Los Angeles Clippers and the NHL’s Los Angeles Kings were all forced to reschedule games during the ongoing destruction of the fires. 

The Lakers’ home games scheduled for Thursday, January 9 and Saturday, January 11 against the Charlotte Hornets and San Antonio Spurs, respectively, were both postponed. Meanwhile, the Clippers home game scheduled for January 11 against the Charlotte Hornets was also postponed. Makeup dates for the games have not been announced.

The Los Angeles Kings also postponed their home game scheduled for Wednesday, January 8 against the Calgary Flames. No makeup date has been announced.

On Monday, January 13, the Lakers and Clippers both returned to their home floors — the Lakers at downtown L.A’s Crypto.com Arena and the Clippers at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome — for games against the Spurs and Heat, respectively. 

“Sports really work well when the team, the organization, has a connection to the city and the fans feel a connection to the team,” Lakers head coach JJ Redick said before the game, a 126-102 loss to the Spurs. “And then it just flows in some sort of eternal circle of that. The Lakers have that with the city of Los Angeles. Having played here before and lived here, I’m well aware of that relationship. And part of the reason I wanted to coach here was to participate in that.”

Following a 2-1 road overtime win over the Winnipeg on Saturday, January 11, the Los Angeles Kings’ posted via X, “For LA .”

Lakers Head Coach JJ Redick Loses His Home

Los Angeles Lakers head coach, JJ Redick, lost his home in the fire that destroyed the Pacific Palisades. 

“I went through most of the village and it’s all gone, and I don’t think you can ever prepare yourself for something like that,” Redick, 40. told reporters on Friday, January 10. “Our home is gone.”

Redick continued, “We were renting for the year to try to figure out where we wanted to be long-term. Everything we owned that was of any importance to us, almost 20 years together as a couple and 10 years of parenting, was in that house. There’s certain things that you can’t replace, that will never be replaced.”

The first-year NBA coach was sharing the home with his wife, Chelsea Redick, and their two sons: Knox, 10, and Kai, 8.

Warriors Coach Steve Kerr Loses His Childhood Home

Golden State Warriors head coach Steve Kerr lost his childhood home in the Pacific Palisades, which was still the residence of his 90-year-old mother, Ann.

“My mom is in good hands, but her house is gone,” Kerr, 59, told reporters on Thursday, January 9.

Kerr added, “That’s my hometown. All my friends who are from there pretty much all lost their homes — their family homes, their childhood homes. Our high school is gone. The town looks like it’s just been completely wiped out. It’s surreal and devastating. Fortunately, almost everyone escaped. But it’s hard to even fathom how Pacific Palisades rebuilds and how it becomes a thriving community again. It’s just shocking.”

Los Angeles Clippers’ Kawhi Leonard Leaves Team 

Los Angeles Clippers star Kawhi Leonard left the team on Wednesday, January 8 to be with his family, who owns a home in the Pacific Palisades. 

“You definitely have to take care of home,” Clippers coach, Tyronn Lue, announced. 

Lue added, “Totally had my support 100 percent. Going back, checking on his family and kids, making sure they’re well. And he got back, and they’re doing okay, so just happy and thankful for that.”

Leonard missed the Clippers’ game against the Denver Nuggets on Wednesday night, a 126-103 loss, after making his season debut on Saturday, January 4 after a knee injury kept him out of action.

According to NBA insider Chris Hynes, Leonard’s girlfriend, Kishele Shipley, and the couple’s two children were forced to evacuate the home. 

Per TMZ, Leonard’s home survived the fire and he returned to the Clippers, appearing in the team’s 109-98 win over the Miami Heat on Monday, January 13. 

Lindsay Hubbard is speaking out for the first time about Dorinda Medley allegedly spreading rumors about her pregnancy.

“I bit my tongue,” Hubbard, 38, shared during the Tuesday, January 14, episode of the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast. “I haven’t spoken ever about this. I’ve never had this conversation with anybody.”

Hubbard revealed “what happened” with Medley, 60, when addressing whether the Real Housewives of New York City alum actually “blew up” her pregnancy.

The Summer House star shared that she heard in May 2024 that Medley apparently “got really drunk” at Real Housewives of New Jersey star Margaret Josephs’ house during a Cinco de Mayo party.

“Now, I don’t speak to Dorinda. We have always been very friendly when we have run into each other. I actually really have enjoyed my interactions with Dorinda in the past,” Hubbard said. “Dorinda is drunk, going around telling everyone that I’m pregnant, but unfortunately, I lost the baby, and I had a miscarriage.”

Summer House's Lindsay Hubbard Breaks Down Pregnancy Timeline

Hubbard said she wasn’t at the party herself, but “multiple people” told her what was apparently being said.

At the time, rumors started swirling that Hubbard was supposed to appear on The Traitors season 3. Medley allegedly shared details about Hubbard’s pregnancy with the show’s producers. (Hubbard’s Traitors casting was never confirmed by Peacock. Her Summer House costar Ciara Miller is featured on the show, which premiered earlier this month.)

“This big rumor comes out about how Dorinda had such a problem that she found out I was pregnant, but I shouldn’t be able to compete,” Hubbard shared on Tuesday’s podcast episode. “Now, I have a problem with this because why? I’m not affecting you, OK? Now, yes, is it hard to compete on Traitors when you’re pregnant because it’s physically and mentally just a lot on your body?”

She continued, “Why also are you getting drunk and running around a party and talking about how I had a miscarriage when I didn’t? Especially because I’ve already had a miscarriage in my life.”

Lindsay Hubbard Defends Filming New 'Summer House' Season While Pregnant

Hubbard suffered a miscarriage in 2021 when dating Winter House star Jason Cameron.

“I’ve never spoken to Dorinda about any of this,” Hubbard continued. “It was so random to me.”

Hubbard said it was a “really brutal time” during the early days of her pregnancy, especially as she attempted to figure out who leaked her pregnancy. (Hubbard announced in July 2024 that she and boyfriend Turner Kufe were expecting their first baby together. Their daughter, Gemma, was born in December 2024.)

A Bravo source told Us Weekly in July 2024 that there was “absolutely no truth” to the rumor that Medley leaked Hubbard’s pregnancy.

Brooke Shields always keeps it real when it comes to aging.

Shields, 59, opened up about getting older in the public eye while making an appearance on Good Morning America on Monday, January 13, while promoting her memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, which dropped on Tuesday, January 14.

“It’s important to understand where you’ve been, but I think it’s really joyous to say, ‘I may not know where I’m going, but I’m here,’” Shields said. “I want to look my best, and I want to be healthy,” the actresses added.

While Shields admitted that she wishes “things were a little higher and tighter,’” she still feels that she’s “earned everything I have on my face.”

Brooke Shields Opens Up About Her Daughters Now Being Noticed Instead of Her

“It’s important to pat yourself on the back and say, ‘What do you want to do now?’ You’re no longer tied to biology in the same way,” Shields explained.

This is hardly the first time Shields has been candid when it comes to aging. Earlier this month, Shields exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about the changing views around getting older in a modern-day world.

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

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

Shields continued, adding that aging has made her feel “more ambitious” in pushing boundaries in life.

“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,” the Pretty Baby star said. “We’re pretty formidable, and I think that’s a little frightening for everybody.”

Scheana Shay celebrated Ally Lewber‘s birthday with her one month after James Kennedy was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence.

“Showered our Capricorn Queen with love tonight,” Shay, 39, captioned an Instagram Story of her and Lewber, 29, on Monday, January 13.

Earlier that day, Lewber offered astrology advice to her followers amid the full moon.

“So today, we have a full moon in Cancer at 23 degrees. Full moons represent peaks, heightened emotions, heightened everything,” the astrologer shared in an Instagram Reel. “When the moon is full, she’s like, ‘Remember me? I had to go through all of these phases over the past month and work really hard and set intentions and follow through on them so that I could be here tonight sparkling, shining.’”

James Kennedy and Girlfriend Ally Lewber's Relationship Timeline

Lewber explained how “this full moon is offering us opportunities to be protective and nurturing, emotional and maybe even a little nostalgic.”

“This full moon is sitting right next to Mars, which is retrograde in Cancer right now,” she continued. “Not my favorite placement, because the moon — which, again, is our emotions and safety — is sitting next to Mars, the planet of conflict and action. So this isn’t soothing or serene, but it is a moment to express our emotions or to vent or to just feel a sense of, ‘OK, I just need to address this thing that’s been bugging me,’ or, ‘OK, maybe I need to finally set some boundaries here.’”

Lewber concluded, “Basically, just be cautious of any irritants that might show up, and of course on a full moon always take time to at some point in the day to love yourself and be proud of how far you’ve come. Take an Epsom salt bath, journal, cry, feel the feelings, release the feelings and then give yourself a really big warm hug.”

Lewber has remained out of the spotlight after police were dispatched to Kennedy’s home in December 2024. Authorities received a call about an argument between a man and a woman and saw Kennedy, 32, allegedly grabbing the woman. Officers who responded to the scene did not see any visible injuries.

James Kennedy's Most Controversial Moments: Fired From SUR, Arrest and More

According to police records, the woman reportedly told the Burbank Police Department that “her boyfriend lifted her up and threw her to the ground.” Kennedy’s legal team subsequently released a statement on his behalf.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” his attorneys said in a statement to Us after he was released on $20,000 bail. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

Lewber broke her silence after a source told Us that the couple were taking some space.

“Thank you to everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me,” she wrote via her Instagram Story. “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”

Kennedy, for his part, has documented his commitment to his sobriety after the legal woes.

“I am taking time to focus on my sobriety, personal growth, and being present for my loved ones,” he wrote via Instagram last month. “Navigating challenging moments is not easy but I am determined to learn, grow and move forward with the incredible support system around me.”

James Kennedy's Quotes About the Ups and Downs of His Sobriety Journey

According to a source, Lewber and Kennedy haven’t made a decision about their future together.

“James and [Ally] are still living apart but haven’t broken up,” an insider close to the couple exclusively told Us on Monday. “James has been super focused on self-improvement and his sobriety and doing well. He’s been attending a schedule of meetings and support and taking it very seriously.”

The source added: “He’s also been in the studio making music, working out and spending time with good friends and his dog. He’s optimistic about the new year and really emphasizing his health and wellness.”

Paris Hilton is lending a helping hand to furry friends after the Los Angeles wildfires.

“Hey everyone, I am here at Pasadena Humane Society, and today I am here with this cat,” Hilton, 43, said via Instagram on Monday, January 13, while standing behind the cat’s cage. “He has been here for four days so far and does not have a collar or microchip so they don’t know who his owner is.”

Hilton explained she was showing the feline for fans to identify the cat’s face “so he can go back to his home.”

“And I’m also going to be fostering another dog who was surrendered by his family who lost their home in the fire,” Hilton said. “And we’re gonna go and see if there’s any other dogs where they are still looking for their owners.”

Hilton noted that she wanted her fans to know that Pasadena Humane Society “is such an incredible charity” and encouraged users to donate.

“I just wanted to come here today and to share my platform and raise awareness and really highlight incredible foundations that are just doing this work because these are our babies,” she said, while looking at the cat. “And we’re going to find your owner.”

The video ended with a close-up shot of the cat, who Hilton said was from the Altadena fires. Hilton noted that the cat’s ID number is A519218.

“I spent yesterday volunteering at the @PasadenaHumane Society, spending time with animals found after the wildfires ,” Hilton wrote in the caption. “This beautiful cat was found without a collar in #Altadena and has been in the shelter for the last four days . Please share with anyone you know from the Altadena area so we can reconnect this baby with his owner! His animal ID is A519218.”

She continued, “My nonprofit @1111Media Impact has contributed to support the shelter’s efforts, and we’re still raising funds to help displaced families and pets Every donation makes a difference in providing emergency relief, housing, and supplies. If you’re able to donate or volunteer, the Pasadena Humane Society is an incredible charity to support! You can contribute directly to them or via my emergency fund at the link in bio .”

Hilton went on to share a carousel of snaps from her time volunteering with Baby2Baby and Pasadena Humane Society. In one image, Hilton hugged her new pooch, whose name is Zuzu, close to her chest.

“I’m so grateful that I’m able to bring home Zuzu, our new foster whose family unfortunately had to surrender her after their home was destroyed in the wildfires,” Hilton wrote in the comments section of her Instagram post. “Fostering is such an important way to help when you’re able to—if you can, please consider giving a temporary or permanent home to animals in need .”

Prior to her visit to the organizations, Hilton shared on January 8 that she was among the many people in the Los Angeles area who lost their homes in the wildfires. The next day, Hilton shared a video of her returning to what remains of her home in Malibu.

“I’m standing here in what used to be our home, and the heartbreak is truly indescribable.,” Hilton wrote via Instagram on January 9. “When I first saw the news, I was in complete shock—I couldn’t process it. But now, standing here and seeing it with my own eyes, it feels like my heart has shattered into a million pieces.”

Hilton called the home a place where she and husband Carter Reum have “created the most beautiful memories as a family.” (The pair, who wed in 2021, share son Phoenix, 23 months, and daughter London, 12 months.)

“My loved ones, my babies, and my pets are safe. ,” she wrote. “That’s the most important thing, and I’m holding onto that gratitude with everything I have.”

Whether competing on TV for a cash prize or simply being filmed while living your day-to-day life, reality television stars almost always get a paycheck — and it may be bigger than you think.

In 2021, Jason Tartick launched a “Trading Secrets” podcast, during which he is focused on “break[ing] the stigma that we shouldn’t be talking about money,” shining the light on reality television.

“Once a month, our goal is to do a reality TV series,” the Bachelorette alum told Us Weekly at the time of his podcast. “And we want to cover every single reality TV show out there to understand the differences — how are these people compensated? How have they been compensated after the show? Did they go back to work? Did they lose their job? How much did it cost to go on the show? Did it positively or negatively impact [you] … maybe you had to seek other expenses, such as therapy or things like that, and what is the cost of that? We want to uncover all that.”

Although most stars aren’t allowed to detail their contracts, many have been open about the amount of money they’ve spent going on a reality show. Elena Davies shared in 2021 that she spent around $5,000 on makeup, Botox, clothes and hair products before competing on season 19 of Big Brother.

Jillian Harris, who appeared on season 13 of The Bachelor and went on to become the Bachelorette, shared that while the women received goodie bags, half of the clothes didn’t fit.

“That was it. The girls do have to bring all of their own clothing and of course, they want to be wearing the best clothes EVER to be seen on TV in,” she wrote on her blog in 2016. “I had remortgaged my house and I spent something like $8,000 on clothing.”

Jinger Duggar grew up in front of the camera on 19 Kids and Counting, but the process began to change with her now-husband, Jeremy Vuolo, in the mix.

“Early days, first meals together, making small talk, the process of getting to know someone can feel a little awkward. But I would say that there’s probably not an adequate word for describing the unique kind of awkward it is to go through that whole process with cameras shoved in your faces and someone interrupting you when the conversation is just starting to flow,” Jinger, 31, wrote in her latest book, People Pleaser: Breaking Free From the Burden of Imaginary Expectations, out Tuesday, January 14.

Jinger referred to filming with her husband as “date-night-on-demand,” remembering being “instructed to repeat some of the same conversation and gestures” they’d made in a previous take.

“Fast-forward a few months, and I found myself walking down the staircase in my house toward Jeremy, anticipating that we might be about to make our relationship official. I took each stair carefully, smiling at Jer, butterflies in my stomach, excited to hear what he would say to me when I got to the bottom of the stairs,” she continued. “‘Cut! Jinger, go back up the stairs please! We need to start over to get the shot.’ OK.”

Jinger Duggar and Jeremy Vuolo's Relationship Timeline

Reflecting on her people-pleasing tendencies, Jinger recalled dutifully walking back up the stairs and meeting Jeremy again. “He asked me to be his girlfriend, the sweetest moment,” she wrote. “And then we got to do it all over again because there was a mic issue. And then we had to do some more takes. And then we had to do cutaways.”

Jinger first appeared on TV with her family in a 2004 documentary about their daily lives. 19 Kids and Counting debuted on TLC in 2008 and aired until its 2015 cancellation. A spinoff titled Counting On, which focused on Jinger and her sisters Jill and Jessa Duggar, premiered later that year and was canceled in 2021.

Jeremy entered the picture in 2015 when he met Jinger during a mission trip. The couple tied the knot one year later and share daughters Felicity, 6, and Evangeline, 4. Jinger announced in October 2024 that she and Jeremy are expecting their third baby.

In her book, Jinger confessed that managing the “performance expectations” of producers and the camera crew felt “totally normal” for her. “It was all I had known since the age of 10,” she explained. “For Jeremy, for some of my other brothers-in-law who had joined the family by this point, it was anything but.”

Jinger Duggar Claims Her Family Sometimes 'Didn't Like' Reality Show Edit

Earlier in People Pleaser, Jinger credited her husband for helping change her mindset when it comes to her faith. Jinger’s parents, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar, raised their children under the conservative beliefs of the Institute in Basic Life Principles, but Jeremy gave his now-wife a new perspective.

According to Jinger, meeting Jeremy was like a breath of fresh air — “but it was also kind of terrifying,” she wrote.

“He was so handsome and so fun and so … alive,” Jinger continued. “Because I was so steeped in the IBLP way of looking at things, I thought it was a potential step into sin to even acknowledge that I was attracted to Jeremy, that I felt my heart tugged in his direction. … And once we fell in love, the vibrancy of Jeremy’s outlook, faith, and devotion began to crack open a wider world of mercy and grace to me.”

Neil Young buried a very interesting tidbit about Bob Dylan in his glowing — but concise — review of the biopic A Complete Unknown.

“I love Bob Dylan and his music. Always have,” Young, 79, wrote in a post on his website, Neil Young Archives, on Monday, January 13. “He’s a great artist.”

The next part, however, raised several questions.

“Once he was on my bus and I didn’t recognize him and threw him off but that’s another story,” Young wrote before getting back to the business at hand. “This movie is a great tribute to his life and music. I think if you love Bob’s music you should see this great movie. I loved it.”

Timothee Chalamet 'Floored' by Bob Dylan's Praise of 'A Complete Unknown'

While it’s lovely to know that Young appreciated A Complete Unknown, the streets demand answers about what happened on this tour bus. When was this? What was Dylan wearing that made him so unrecognizable? How did he respond when Young unceremoniously threw him off the bus? Is this why they didn’t sing together for 25 years? Inquiring music fans need to know!

In any case, the tour bus moment was not depicted in A Complete Unknown, which stars Timothée Chalamet as a young Dylan and covers the period in Dylan’s career from his arrival in New York City to his infamous “going electric” performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

While Dylan, 83, was not officially involved in the film, director James Mangold revealed that the iconic musician gave him notes on the script. “I’ve spent several wonderfully charming days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him,” Mangold, 61, said during a 2023 episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast. “I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies.”

Timothée Chalamet Goes Blonde at ‘A Complete Unknown’ Premiere in NYC

Chalamet, meanwhile, hasn’t yet met Dylan, but the singer publicly praised his performance via X last month. “There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown (what a title!),” Dylan wrote. “Timothée Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.”

In response, Chalamet, 29, reposted Dylan’s message, adding, “Floored. I am so grateful. Thank you Bob.”

The actor has been receiving tons of awards season praise for his role, including nominations from the Golden Globes, Critics’ Choice Awards and Screen Actors Guild Awards. This year’s Oscar nominations have been postponed because of the Los Angeles wildfires, but Chalamet is widely expected to land a nod there as well.

Sutton Stracke has taken a page from Bethenny Frankel’s book and wants to mention it all about The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills costar Kyle Richards.

Kyle, 56, sat down with Sutton, 52, and Garcelle Beauvais to discuss her ongoing feud with Dorit Kemsley in a clip from the Tuesday, January 14 episode of RHOBH, shared by E! News.

Kyle started the conversation by telling the women that PK Kemsley was having “a really hard time” amid his separation from Dorit, 48. Kyle explained that she had told Mauricio, 54, that Dorit did not want her to have a friendship with PK — even amid his struggles. (The women fought in last week’s episode after Kyle confirmed that she still texts PK after he and Dorit separated.)

“If it was me, I would be upset,” Garcelle said about the texting. “I wouldn’t like it.”

Kyle noted that Garcelle had a “very different situation” with her ex-husband, Michael Nilon, who cheated on her.

“I feel like in a way it’s similar to Dorit — not infidelity — but being angry at one another,” Garcelle explained.

Kyle's 'RHOBH' Costars Were 'Suspicious' About Her Marriage Before Split

Sutton was quick to chime in, claiming that Kyle “also had infidelity” in her marriage. (Kyle and Mauricio separated in July 2023 after 27 years of marriage and denied any “wrongdoing” in their marriage.)

“Let’s not forget that part,” Sutton continued. Kyle responded, “What part? … Who did?”

Kyle denied any infidelity in her marriage, but Sutton doubled down. (Mauricio has been accused of cheating on Kyle multiple times throughout their RHOBH tenure.)

“With Mau? You’ve talked about him,” Sutton said, referring to Kyle’s breakdown during RHOBH season 13 when she admitted to losing her “trust” in Mauricio.

“With the Instagram?” Kyle questioned, referencing another RHOBH season 13 scene where she admitted to having a fight with Mauricio over him communicating with other women over social media. “That’s different. I think that’s different.”

Mauricio Umansky: Kyle's Costars Bring Up Cheating Rumors on 'RHOBH'

The conversation was then dropped.

In her confessional, however, Sutton said the Instagram situation was not what she had been referring to. “I always have a problem with things slipping out of my mouth,” she added.

Garcelle also weighed in on the rather awkward encounter during her own confessional.

“This is definitely the unspoken thing. No one brings that up,” she said. “I mean, listen, we’ve been hearing rumors for years that either Mau has stepped out or is doing this or is doing that. Nobody has confirmation but it’s been all over.”

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET. Stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.

The phrase “don’t be picky” applies to certain things in life, like what movie to choose for a casual night in or where to grab a quick bite before work, but it doesn’t apply to fashion. You deserve to be picky when it comes to fit, style, design, price, material and anything else regarding clothes! The pickier you are, the less you spend on low-quality or ill-fitting pieces that live in the back of your closet — indefinitely.

15 Everyday Dresses to Look Rich This New Year — Our Favorites Under $50 on Amazon

That said, it’s difficult to shop when you’re picky; you won’t settle for a semi-flattering outfit or a tolerable shade of brown you’re not crazy about. Nope! You hold out until you find the perfect piece, which is hard to come by (but totally worth it once you find it). The perfect dress is particularly hard to find, but we found one that will check all of your boxes and even a few you didn’t know you had. If flattering, lightweight, stylish, flowy, elegant, affordable and versatile are on your requirements list, grab a pen and get to checking!

This dress is sophisticated and charming, combining an empire waist fit with a wrap v-neck design, a smocked back waistband, billowy lantern sleeves and side slits that show off your legs, but doesn’t go overboard (if you know what we mean). It’s also soft, lightweight and skin-friendly; the polyester material will keep you perfectly temperate at warm-weather gatherings and winter gatherings alike. Just don’t forget a jacket during the cold months!

Style aside, this dress nails it in the flattering department. A high empire waist makes your torso and legs look longer and minimize your waist, an ideal combo if you seek a lean appearance. The puff sleeves flatter your arms while the v-neckline shows off your collarbone. Oh, and did we mention this dress has a loose, flowy fit? It won’t make you feel constrained in any capacity or highlight any trouble areas. If anything, it will hide them!

This dress was practically made for any wedding, birthday party, Valentine’s (or Galentine’s Day) dinner or work event on your agenda. It pairs beautifully with strappy heels and a shoulder bag, but you can make it a cold-weather outfit by wearing it with tall boots, a long fur jacket and an oversized tote. So chic!

And if you love the style but aren’t feeling pink, this dress comes in five other colors. Good luck choosing just one! You’ll catch Us wearing the pink one on Valentine’s Day, the red one for the holidays and the black one to work. So take your pick and get ready for compliment central!

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson‘s separation didn’t come as a shock to some fans.

Simpson, 44, confirmed their decision to part ways in a statement on Monday, January 13, which read, “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

A source confirmed to Us Weekly in November 2024 that Simpson and Johnson were “living separately” at the moment.

Meanwhile, a second insider revealed that Simpson and Johnson planned to spend the holidays as a family, adding, “Jessica and Eric plan on being all together for the holidays with the kids. It’s all about the kids and family. They don’t hate each other.”

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s Relationship Timeline

Simpson and Johnson, 45, who share kids Maxwell, 12, Ace, 11, and Birdie, 5, started dating in 2010 following their respective divorces from Nick Lachey and Keri D’Angelo. After six months together, Johnson proposed and they tied the knot in 2014.

Simpson previously opened up about her evolving dynamic with Johnson, exclusively telling Us in April 2022, “I don’t feel like our marriage has been long, but I feel like I’ve loved Eric my whole life. I guess the moment I met him, it felt like a marriage. We rarely fight. If we do, it’s more conversational, and it’s not like, ‘He’s right or she’s right.’ It’s not about winning.”

The singer gushed over her partnership with Johnson. “In terms of my marriage to Eric, I have never felt more myself or more free,” Simpson shared with Us in February 2020. “Eric and I have a true mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am most certainly in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!”

Keep scrolling for signs that Simpson and Johnson were heading for a split:

Not Wearing Their Rings

Simpson raised eyebrows in late 2023 when she was spotted without her wedding ring in several Instagram photos. The duo briefly quieted split speculation in April 2024 when they went on a family trip but by the end of the year, Simpson and Johnson were once again making public appearances without their respective wedding bands.

In November 2024, a third insider confirmed to Us that Simpson and Johnson were “trying to figure out a separation without disrupting their kids’ lives as much as possible.”

“They are both really committed to the wellbeing of the kids and trying to figure out what’s best for them,” the source added while a four insider said Simpson was “heartbroken” and it wasn’t an “easy decision” to make.

Spending Time in Nashville and Return to Music

After taking a break from her music career, Simpson teased a “comeback” in November 2024 with photos of her in a recording studio.

“Interviews in my Nashville music room where I unearthed my singular magic,” she captioned an Instagram post at the time. “This comeback is personal. It’s an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve.”

As Simpson continued to spend more time in Nashville (while her family is based in California), she teased a candid glimpse into her life, writing via social media, “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul .”

Ashlee Dodges the Question

Jessica’s sister, Ashlee Simpson Ross, had an awkward response when asked about the rumors by TMZ in November 2024. Seemingly trying to get out of the situation, the “Pieces of Me” singer mumbled “no” before opting not to answer any more questions about the speculation.

Most Shocking Celebrity Splits

Lack of Social Media Posts

While Johnson isn’t active on social media, Simpson often shares highlights from her life. Her last post that prominently featured Johnson was posted in September 2023. (Simpson and Johnson’s last public outing was in summer 2024.)

“Eric turned 44 on Sept 15 and his family gave him all the love cells we have to celebrate his life. My heart is so taken with this Man, I could hardly call it my own,” she wrote. “We love youuuu. (he ain’t an Instagram guy, but I always think the more good wishes the better ).”

Brooke Shields loves her “hot” husband Chris Henchy but isn’t always into doing the deed.

“I was talking to a doctor recently who inquired about my sex life, and I explained to her that I have no desire and I’m fine with it,” Shields, 59, wrote in her latest memoir, Brooke Shields Is Not Allowed to Get Old: Thoughts on Aging as a Woman, published on Tuesday, January 14. “Turned out, she was not fine with it.”

Shields wrote that she “had a fervent sex drive” when she was younger. “But I never felt like I could step into that appetite in the way that I wanted to,” the actress added.

Shields detailed how losing her virginity, and in turn, having sex with previous boyfriends, impacted her relationship with her late mom, Teri Shields.

“My connection with my boyfriend was a personal affront to her, because having a man in my life in such a real way meant that she was losing me,” she wrote. “Oh, how I wish I’d just let the lust take over! But regrettably I was never able to do that.”

Real-Life Meet-Cute! Brooke Shields, Chris Henchy's Relationship Timeline

This has continued to play out in her marriage to Henchy, 60. (Shields and Henchy have been married since 2001. They share daughters Rowan, 21, and Grier, 18.)

“Here I am, more than thirty-five years later, sometimes pretending I’m asleep when I know Chris is in the mood,” Shields admitted in the book. “That has nothing to do with Chris —he’s hot! He’s been working out at a boxing gym recently, and he looks incredible.”

Shields explained to readers that her lack of sex drive comes alongside all the “bodily s—” that she has experienced as an aging woman. She also noted that pretending to be asleep is “not great” — but she’s working on that.

After telling the doctor about her lack of sex, Shields recalled being “on the receiving end of a lecture about how important sex is to a relationship.” The actress also admitted that because of a previous surgery, sex has become “painful.” (Shields told Us Weekly exclusively earlier this month about a plastic surgeon giving her a vaginal rejuvenation surgery without consent.)

Celebrities Share Sex Confessions Over the Years

“For me to fully enjoy sex at this point, I need my lotions and potions, the right sleepwear (maybe calling it sleepwear is contributing to the problem), my special pillow, and maybe a tequila so I can relax,” she wrote, noting “again” that Henchy is “not at all the problem.”

“Listen, there’s nothing wrong with using whatever you need!” she stated. “Whatever it takes.”

Ally Lewber advised her followers to “set some boundaries” amid the full moon, weeks after her boyfriend James Kennedy’s arrest for domestic violence.

“So today, we have a full moon in Cancer at 23 degrees. Full moons represent peaks, heightened emotions, heightened everything,” the astrologer, 29, began in an Instagram Reel shared on Monday, January 13. “When the moon is full, she’s like, ‘Remember me? I had to go through all of these phases over the past month and work really hard and set intentions and follow through on them so that I could be here tonight sparkling, shining.’”

Lewber went on to note that “this full moon is offering us opportunities to be protective and nurturing, emotional and maybe even a little nostalgic” before explaining why she’s less than thrilled about the placement.

“This full moon is sitting right next to Mars, which is retrograde in Cancer right now,” she said. “Not my favorite placement, because the moon — which, again, is our emotions and safety — is sitting next to Mars, the planet of conflict and action. So this isn’t soothing or serene, but it is a moment to express our emotions or to vent or to just feel a sense of, ‘OK, I just need to address this thing that’s been bugging me,’ or, ‘OK, maybe I need to finally set some boundaries here.’”

VPR’s Ally Lewber Hints at 'New Beginnings' After James Kennedy’s Arrest

She continued, “Basically, just be cautious of any irritants that might show up, and of course on a full moon always take time to at some point in the day to love yourself and be proud of how far you’ve come. Take an Epsom salt bath, journal, cry, feel the feelings, release the feelings and then give yourself a really big warm hug.”

Earlier this week, Lewber said this year would be a “transition,” astrology-wise. “We are moving into new territory that we haven’t experienced ever, or in a really long time,” she explained in a TikTok video on Sunday, January 12. “We’re all experiencing and cocreating a new reality together. So it’s really up to us on how we want to show up this year.”

Where James Kennedy Stands With Sobriety, Relationship With Ally Lewber

She also encouraged her viewers to “expect change” in 2025, adding, “Remember that it is OK to feel, it’s great to feel. Again, we’re human. But it’s also nice to just remember that we are just in the process of change. There is still so, so, so much magic to look forward to this year.”

Lewber’s astrology analysis comes one month after Kennedy, 32, was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence after Burbank Police responded to a call “regarding an argument between a man and a woman.” A witness claimed they saw Kennedy allegedly grab a woman and throw her to the ground, but officers who responded to the scene reportedly did not see any visible injuries on the woman. Kennedy was later released on a $20,000 bond.

“We are in the process of conducting our own investigation into the allegations levied by the Burbank Police Department against James,” Kennedy’s attorneys said in a statement to Us at the time. “We understand that there were no injuries and we are hoping that, after careful review, the city’s attorneys will decide not to file formal charges.”

James Kennedy Says His 'Focus' Is on Sobriety After Domestic Violence Arrest

Days later, Lewber, who has been dating the Vanderpump Rules alum since 2022, broke her silence via Instagram Story, thanking “everyone who has reached out with love and support and for checking in on me.” She added, “I’m OK and taking the time I need right now. I deeply appreciate all the kindness and respect for my privacy during this time.”

According to an insider, Kennedy and Lewber are “still living apart but haven’t broken up” following his arrest. “James has been super focused on self-improvement and his sobriety and doing well,” the source said on Monday. “He’s been attending a schedule of meetings and support and taking it very seriously.”

Chrissy Teigen and John Legend were able to return home just in time for their daughter Esti’s second birthday.

“I’m feeling grateful to be back home,” Teigen, 39, wrote via Instagram Story on Monday, January 13, alongside a photo of a homemade cake. “This is all I could muster up for Esti’s birthday.”

The cake was decorated with chocolate frosting and multicolored sprinkles and featured two action figures of Esti’s favorite wrestler John Cena. In addition to Esti, Teigen and Legend, 46, share Luna, 8, Miles, 6, and Wren, 18 months.

Before Esti’s special day, the family was forced to evacuate their home amid the Los Angeles wildfires.

“This is surreal I’m very scared now. Packing,” Teigen wrote on Wednesday, January 8, as she prepared to go to a hotel with Legend and their children.

Wildfires broke out in the Pacific Palisades on January 7 and quickly spread throughout other parts of Los Angeles. Many celebrities who live in the area have offered updates about losing their homes and personal belongings. Others continue to evacuate the city amid the rapidly changing natural disaster.

Actor Milo Ventimiglia got emotional on Thursday, January 9, as he revealed that his home with wife Jarah Mariano, who is nine months pregnant, was completely destroyed.

“You start thinking about all the memories in different parts of the house and whatnot and then you see your neighbor’s houses and everything kind of around and your heart just breaks,” he told CBS News. “It’s a kind of a shock moment where you go, ‘This is real, this is happening,’ and at a certain point, you just turn it off. What good is it to continue watching? We kind of accepted the loss.”

Ventimiglia, 47, acknowledged the parallel between his loss and his This Is Us character, Jack Pearson, who died from smoke inhalation after a slow cooker caused his family’s home to burn to the ground.

“You know, it’s not lost on me, life imitating art,” he added while reflecting on his personal next steps. “We got good friends and we got good people we’re working with and we’ll make do. Wife and baby and dog, most important.”

John Mayer, meanwhile, shared an emotional post about preparing to lose significant items due to the ongoing wildfires.

“This is the most valuable thing I own. It’s a folder of photos of my father, spanning his life from being a baby, an educator, a husband and a father. It’s the only evidence of his life that will exist over time,” he wrote via Instagram on Thursday alongside a photo of a folder. “These are the ‘documents’ you read about people taking from their homes. When you hear someone say they’ve lost everything in a fire, this is much of that everything, if not all of it.”

Sandra Lee Says Her House ‘Still Stands’ Amid L.A. Wildfires

He continued: “Those who say they’ll be okay still have their folders and their albums. Those who are inconsolable have lost them. Just behind the immeasurable loss of life is the loss of the proof of life.”

Mayer, 47, offered a message of support to others being displaced.

“I don’t practice prayer but tonight I will say one for everyone who no longer has these items. It’s not about the art and the collectibles. It’s the photos, the letters, the class rings, the eyeglasses and the things we keep to remind us that those we loved were here,” he added. “May those who have lost so much find some semblance of hope and support from their family and friends. Stay safe, look out for yourself and for one another, and trust that humanity and all it entails, though sometimes hard to see, is alive and well. This is truly devastating.”

For her first public engagement of 2025, Princess Kate Middleton returned to the hospital where she underwent cancer treatment.

The Princess of Wales, 43, paid a visit to the staff and patients of the Royal Marsden Hospital in London on Tuesday, January 14, during which she opened up about her own recovery journey. “You think treatment’s finished, crack on with that … daily tasks, but that’s still, like, a real challenge,” she said to staff members, per the Daily Mail. “And talking … the words totally disappear … understanding that as a patient, yes, there are side effects around treatment, but actually there are more long-term side effects.”

According to the outlet, Kate emphasized the power of “resilience” to one patient, stating: “It’s to keep coming back … to be as positive as you are. The treatments are really so different and so varied, it impacts families differently.”

Kate braved the winter weather in a brown plaid coat for her latest outing, which she wore on top of a simple and chic maroon long-sleeved dress. She completed the look with a matching maroon handbag.

Kate Middleton’s Cancer Battle Timeline: From Diagnosis to Remission

She was greeted by the hospital’s chief executive, Dame Cally Palmer, and chairman, Sir Douglas Flint. “I was just saying, coming in the front entrance here, having made so many quiet, private visits, actually it’s quite nice,” she said upon arrival, per Hello! magazine.

While speaking with more patients, one person reportedly told Kate that she’s “managed the children amazingly well” while dealing with her health issues, to which she replied, “Oh thanks … it’s just trying to do the best.” (Kate shares kids Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, with her husband, Prince William.)

Per Hello!, Kate also stated that cancer treatments “are really so different and varied, it impacts families differently.”

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace told multiple outlets on Tuesday that Kate “wanted to make the journey to both show her gratitude to the incredible team, but also highlight the world leading care and treatment [that] Marsden provides.”

Kate’s visit to the hospital comes amid news that she and William, 42, have become joint patrons of The Royal Marsden NHS Foundation Trust. William, however, did not join his wife during her Tuesday visit.

Kate Middleton Gives Rare Comment on Her Cancer Journey: 'Hugely Grateful’

“We were honored to welcome Her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales to The Royal Marsden in Chelsea this morning, and are delighted that Her Royal Highness is now joining His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales in becoming Joint Patrons of our specialist cancer center,” Palmer, 67, said in a Tuesday statement, per Hello! magazine.

She added: “We are incredibly fortunate to receive Royal Patronage – it is inspiring for staff and patients and enables us to shine a light on the outstanding work our staff deliver every day for patients and their families.”

One month after King Charles III announced his own cancer diagnosis, and following months of speculation, Kate revealed in March 2024 that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an unspecified form of cancer. “We hope that you’ll understand that as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she said in a video statement at the time. “My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I’m able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

In September 2024, Kate shared that she had completed her chemotherapy treatment but was still on a “long” road to recovery. “Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling,” she said in a video featuring new footage of herself, and William with their kids. “To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.”

Kate will reportedly follow up her hospital visit by attending the 2025 BAFTA Awards on February 16. She skipped last year’s awards ceremony due to her health, while William walked the event red carpet solo.
