Kendra Wilkinson Thanks Fans For ‘Positive Comments’ About Weight Gain

Kendra Wilkinson isn’t letting the haters get her down.

The Girl Next Door alum, 39, returned to Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, to thank fans for their support after she posted a recent photo highlighting her weight gain. Her latest post featured a black-and-white closeup photo of her face, a contrast from the full-body mirror selfie that first got the internet talking.

“Thank you to all the positive comments after my last post,” she wrote in the caption. “Embracing life a little differently now a days….I’ve had my fair share of hardships and setbacks these last years but I’ve learned how to rise above and let life flow.”

The original post came on January 12 and has accrued nearly 150,000 likes since it was initially shared. It heavily features supportive comments from fans drowning out the trolls.

“Yes, I’ve gained weight. Yes, I’m aging. Yes, I’m not that girl i was before (playboy girl) 🤣,” she wrote at the time. “But for once in a long time I feel good and mentally healthy.”

Wilkinson expanded on her new mindset in her most recent post, adding that gaining weight was and is not “a failure.”

“I do enough every day to keep myself standing upright, healthy, mentally healthy and smiling,” she continued. “Overcoming challenges just shape us into new people and I’m willing to live and learn and grow through it all while staying focused and motivated.”

Wilkinson has undergone a significant transformation since her days as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends. Now a mother of two, she is a real estate agent and even starred in the reality television series Kendra Sells Hollywood, which ran for two seasons on Discovery Plus.

She explained in her previous post that she stays busy by cooking, working out and golfing. She’s also monitoring her alcohol intake.

“Real estate, motherhood, and Hollywood isn’t easy to juggle but mamas out here grinding,” she added. “By myself with a few friends who truly have my back and 2 amazing kids.”

Wilkinson shares son Hank IV, 15, and daughter Alijah, 10, with ex-husband Hank Baskett, to whom she was married from 2009 to 2018.

Her fans appreciated her candor, flooding the comments with additional words of support.

“The amount of respect and admiration I’ve felt for you over the years is something I wish I had words for,” wrote one fan. “It’s the coolest thing to see you grow and evolve and find peace and balance. You motivate so many people and you don’t even realize it.”

Another added, “Thanks for being an inspiration! Trying to get through the setbacks currently and seeing you’re post give me hope to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you 👏🙌🔥❤❤

One thing Scarlett Johansson shares in common with Today’s Jenna Bush Hager is that they each have a twin sibling.

The actress, 40, shared rare comments about her lesser-known twin brother, Hunter Johansson, on the Wednesday, January 22, episode of Today With Jenna & Friends. Her brother came up in a conversation with Bush Hager, 43, about how they each struggled to find souvenirs with their names on them as children.

“A couple of years ago, we were in Montauk out in Long Island and we were at one of those surf shop places, and there were two mini keychain surfboards,” Scarlett recalled. “One said Scarlett, and then we found Hunter, and I legit think we cried.”

Scarlett said purchasing the keychains was a no-brainer decision. “We bought them and we looked at each other and it was like, ‘They see us,’” she joked, calling the moment an “overaction.”

The Black Widow star and Hunter are the youngest of their parents Karsten Johansson and Melanie Sloan’s four children, including Adrian Johansson and Vanessa Johansson. The pair also have an older half-brother, Christian Johansson, whom their father welcomed during his first marriage, as well as a younger sister, Fenan Sloan, whom their mother adopted in 2010.

Unlike his sister, Hunter didn’t go into acting, instead founding the nonprofit organization Solar Responders in 2018. According to his LinkedIn profile, the group “exists to maximize the capacity of first responders to save lives with renewable energy.”

Bush Hager and her twin sister, Barbara Bush, are the only two children of former president George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush. Both Bush Hager and Scarlett’s twin siblings are set to join them on the Thursday, January 23, episode of Jenna & Friends.

Wednesday’s episode of the show marked Scarlett’s second day cohosting with Bush Hager. Scarlett is one of several celebrity guest hosts to sit alongside Bush Hager since Hoda Kotb left Today after nearly 30 years of working for NBC on January 10.

Hunter wasn’t the only family member Scarlett brought up on Wednesday, as she mentioned how her 10-year-old daughter, Rose, reacted to her cohosting debut the day prior. (She shares Rose with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac, and son Cosmo, 3, with her husband, Colin Jost.)

“I got a lot of comments. Well, my daughter watched the show. She’s 10 years old. She absolutely loved it,” Scarlett revealed. “She was saying that the Death Becomes Her performance was, like, amazing, [She was like], ‘That woman [Jennifer Simard] was incredible.’ I was like, ‘Yes.’ So much fun.” (Simard, 54, and Christopher Sieber performed the song “That Was Then, This is Now” from the Broadway musical on Tuesday’s show.)

When asked whether Rose gave her mother praise for her part on the show, Scarlett joked, “No, she just commented on the other people. … My daughter, I have to say, is very complimentary, but she was blown away by the performances. I was buzzing. I mean, it was just so fun, like, absolute dream job.”

Jost, 42, also appeared to present his wife with a bouquet of flowers, but not before clapping back at comments she made about him during Tuesday’s episode. “I feel like I had to bring flowers on because yesterday, out of the gate, she was like, ‘He never writes me a love letter. He just sends me, like, sexual emojis.’ I was like, ‘What?’” the Saturday Night Live star quipped.

On Tuesday, Scarlett joked that she felt “gypped” after Bush Hager said her husband, Henry Hager, “sometimes” writes her romantic letters, stating, “Not even gonna tell you which kind of emojis I’m getting,” she told her cohost.

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris Finalize Divorce Nearly 2 Years After Split

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris divorce finalized 653

Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris’ divorce proceedings have come to an end, Us Weekly can exclusively confirm.

The retired soccer players finalized their divorce on December 4, 2024, according to court documents obtained by Us. They each retain the rights to their respective names, likenesses and photographs and will share joint legal custody of kids Sloane and Ocean, who will primarily reside in New Jersey. Per the docs, any move would have to be made in the children’s best interests.

The docs also reveal that Krieger, 40, and Harris, 39, had sold their properties in Florida in order to divide assets. They each retain individual savings accounts and cars. Kriege also gets to keep the security deposit on her New Jersey home.

Us previously confirmed that Harris was the first to file for divorce in Florida in September 2023. In the filing, Harris described her marriage to Krieger as “irretrievably broken.”

After news broke of her split from Krieger, rumors swirled that Harris moved on with actress Sophia Bush, who had also just split from then-husband Grant Hughes. Harris and Bush later confirmed their romance in April 2024 after the One Tree Hill alum penned a personal essay for Glamour‘s cover story, in which she came out as queer. (Krieger revealed in November 2024 that she moved on with Scottish soccer player Jen Beattie.)

In May 2024, Us learned that Krieger submitted her own paperwork in December 2023. According to docs obtained by Us at the time, Krieger cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for the split with “no reasonable prospect of reconciliation.”

Krieger also requested the court implement “legal and residential custody arrangement and parenting time that protects the best interests of their two children.” Krieger and Harris share two children — daughter Sloane and son Ocean — whom they adopted in 2021 and 2022, respectively.

In addition to a fair custody arrangement, Krieger also asked the court to divide her and Harris’ assets and liabilities equally. Krieger also wanted Harris to pay her child support and legal fees.

Harris and Krieger met while playing for the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team and got engaged in September 2018. While the pair kept their romance low-key at first, they decided to go public and wed the following year.

As Krieger and Harris navigated their public split, both athletes have opened up about their relationship struggles. In November 2024, Harris claimed that she and Krieger “weren’t intimate” during their marriage.

“I didn’t feel that sense of connection whether emotional or physical. It was soccer, job, kids and somewhere down the line it was like, ‘OK, what about me?’” she said during an episode of the “Naked Sports With Cari Champion” podcast. “I decided to leave my marriage after almost four years and a decade of being together. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. And I think people miss that. People think only one person was in pain or people think you have to choose a side that you know, you have to punish this person because the idea you had through social media didn’t manage your expectations however you haven’t lived my experience.”

Krieger ultimately fired back at Harris’ claims.

“I’m overwhelmed by the outpouring of love and support I’ve received this last year,” Krieger wrote via Instagram. “However, amidst this warmth, I’ve also had to confront a wave of dishonesty and misinformation regarding my marriage and personal life. While I’m not yet prepared to make a formal statement, I feel compelled to address this currently to prevent further distortion of the truth.”

She continued: “Above all else, my unwavering priority remains the protection and well-being of my children. I promise to share more when my heart feels ready. In this vulnerable time, I humbly ask for privacy and understanding from all involved, as I grapple with the profound changes in my personal life.”

4 Men Arrested in Connection With Robbery at Bengals QB Joe Burrow’s Home

Four men have been indicted on charges related to the break-in at Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow’s home in December 2024. 

The men, all of Chilean descent, were indicted on Tuesday, January 21, according to Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost. They all face charges of engaging in a pattern of corrupt activity, participating in a criminal gang and possessing criminal tools.

All four suspects were arrested on January 10, accused of carrying out a string of burglaries targeting multimillion-dollar homes.

According to a criminal complaint obtained by CNN, the suspects were pulled over for a traffic violation when officers found “an old LSU shirt and Bengals hat, believed to be stolen from the December 9, 2024 burglary in Hamilton County.”

In the report, investigators say the men claimed to be in Ohio because they wanted to see snow. 

The search of the suspects’ vehicle also resulted in the finding of burglary tools, namely “two Husky automatic center punch tools wrapped in a cloth towel behind the glove box.”

The men were booked into the Clark County Jail and remain in custody. 

At the time of the robbery, Burrow’s rumored girlfriend, Olivia Ponton, was listed on the police report as being on the premises when deputies arrived. 

Ponton, 22, told authorities she noticed a “shattered bedroom window” and that a room had been “ransacked.” Her mother, Diane, called 911 to report the break-in.

“Someone is trying to break into the house right now,” Ponton’s mother told the dispatcher. “My daughter is there. This is Joe Burrow’s house. She is staying there. He’s at the football game.”

Burrow and Ponton have not publicly disclosed the nature of their relationship. The police report listed Ponton as being “employed by Mr. Burrow.”

Two days after the robbery, Burrow addressed the incident with members of the media. 

Olivia Ponton Had Separate Scary Encounter Days Before Joe Burrow Robbery

“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one,” Burrow said during a December 11 press conference. “And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.” 

He added, “We live a public life and one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy. And that has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career. Still learning. But I understand it’s the life that we choose. Doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

The burglary at Burrow’s home was part of a string of robberies targeting professional athletes, including Kansas City Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce

It is unclear if the arrests in the Burrow case are related to the robberies of Mahomes, 29, or Kelce, 35, which both happened in October 2024. 

Prince Harry Settles Lawsuit Against The Sun, Reports Claim '8-Figure' Sum

Prince Harry has settled his lawsuit against News Group Newspapers (NGN), which owns U.K. tabloid The Sun.

In a statement issued to Us Weekly on Wednesday, January 22, NGN said it had agreed to pay Harry, 40, “substantial damages” after he accused the company of unlawful information gathering for stories about him and his family.

NGN also apologized for the “serious intrusion” into Prince Harry’s private life.

“NGN offers a full and unequivocal apology to the Duke of Sussex for the serious intrusion by The Sun between 1996 and 2011 into his private life, including incidents of unlawful activities carried out by private investigators working for The Sun,” the statement said.

Prince Harry Claims William Received 'Very Large Sum' in Phone Hacking Case

The organization added a further apology for “phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information” by journalists and private investigators working at the now-defunct News of the World, which it also owned.

“NGN further apologizes to the Duke for the impact on him of the extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales, his late mother, in particular during his younger years,” the statement said.

It continued: “We acknowledge and apologize for the distress caused to the Duke, and the damage inflicted on relationships, friendships and family, and have agreed to pay him substantial damages. It is also acknowledged, without any admission of illegality, that NGN’s response to the 2006 arrests and subsequent actions were regrettable.”

NGN also offered “a full and unequivocal apology” to Lord Tom Watson, a U.K. politician, “for the unwarranted intrusion carried out into his private life during his time in Government by the News of the World during the period 2009-2011.”

“This includes him being placed under surveillance in 2009 by journalists at the News of the World and those instructed by them. NGN also acknowledges and apologizes for the adverse impact this had on Lord Watson’s family and has agreed to pay him substantial damages,” it added.

NGN wouldn’t disclose how much it paid in the settlement when contacted by Us; reps for the Duke also declined to comment. However, multiple publications reported that it involved an eight-figure sum.

BBC News reported that the settlement could have been around £10 million, or around $12 million, while People reports that the settlement likely exceeded that figure.

Chris Ship, royal editor at the U.K’s ITV News, wrote on X: “The damages awarded by NGN to Prince Harry are between £10 and £20 million, according to a well placed source.”

In a statement read outside court on Wednesday, Harry and Watson’s lawyer, David Sherborne, said NGN “has finally been held to account for its illegal actions and its blatant disregard for the law.”

Sherborne alleged that the company’s executives deleted over 30 million emails and made false denials throughout a previous investigation.

Prince Harry's Many Legal Cases Explained: Phone Hacking and More

Sherborne has also called for a police investigation into NGN, BBC News reports.

Harry filed his lawsuit against NGN in 2019, alleging that its journalists had used unlawful information-gathering practices.

In April 2023, it was ruled that the case could move forward on the unlawful information-gathering allegations. However, Harry’s phone hacking allegations were initially thrown out because it fell outside the six-year statute of limitations.

At around the same time, Harry alleged in a court filing that his brother, Prince William, settled with NGN for a “very large sum” in 2020. He also claimed that the royal family had a “secret agreement” with the company, which prevented them from filing lawsuits against it. This was denied by NGN.

Paul Wesley's New Show Follows a Vampire Who Wants to Be an Actor

Paul Wesley is sinking his teeth into a new TV show about a vampire who dreams of being an actor.

Wesley, 42, is an executive producer on an untitled Fox comedy about a determined 25-year-old vampire who struggles with running the family business for his murderous and suffocating vampire parents while trying to chase his dream to become an actor, according to Deadline.

The series, which has yet to be officially picked up, is written by Unstable cocreator Victor Fresco and directed by The Rookie‘s Liz Friedlander. This isn’t the first time Wesley has found himself caught up with the supernatural genre.

Wesley became a household name after he starred alongside Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder on The CW’s The Vampire Diaries. The series, which aired from 2009 to 2017, focused on a love triangle between Elena (Dobrev), Stefan (Wesley) and Damon (Somerhalder).

‘Vampire Diaries’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

Since his fan-favorite role as Stefan Salvatore came to an end, Wesley has explained why he has no interest in going back.

“No … I’m vampired out,” Wesley exclusively told Us Weekly in 2022 about his disinterest in a TVD spinoff before revealing which costars he is still friends with. “We don’t have a big group thread, but I’m still super close to Nina, I’m super close with Michael Malarkey — all of them! I mean, I talk to all of them on a somewhat regular basis. We haven’t had, like, a big reunion in a while. I did just have dinner with at [cocreator] Kevin Williamson‘s house with [cocreator] Julie Plec and Nina.”

He continued: “It was great to see everyone. Look, we’re all very busy. We all travel a lot so we don’t have, like, big parties or anything like that, but we’re all great and friendly.”

More recently, Wesley said a remake of The Vampire Diaries was a “hard pass” for him.

Projects That Reunited ‘The Vampire Diaries’ Cast, Crew After the Show Ended

“I would never do another vampire anything, period, let alone Vampire Diaries,” he told InStyle in 2023. “I don’t really miss anything about playing [Stefan], and I don’t mean that in a [negative way]. Eight years is a long time, and I’m so glad to put that to rest. Eight seasons.”

Wesley clarified that he has appreciation for the way his character has resonated with viewers, adding, “Because the show ran for such a long time, in order for it to not become monotonous, every season, Stefan sort of had a different arc.”

Wesley enjoyed getting to stretch his acting muscles while playing Stefan. “At one point he was pure evil, and he started out as the good guy and then he ended as the good guy,” he added. “But I liked the challenge of trying to keep the character fresh.”

Dick Van Dyke’s Wife Arlene Silver Never Saw 'Mary Poppins' Before Meeting

Dick Van Dyke felt love at first sight with wife Arlene Silver, even though she had never seen one of his most famous roles.

“I was backstage in the green room of the [2007] SAG Awards, just sitting there by myself and she walked by,” Van Dyke, 99, recalled on the Tuesday, January 21, episode of SiriusXM’s “Where Everybody Knows Your Name” podcast. “For the first time in my life, I approached [someone]. I jumped up, I said, ‘Hi, I’m Dick,’ almost without thinking.”

He continued, “She sat down [and] I introduced myself. I was totally in love at first sight. I found out she was a makeup lady and I said, ‘You can come on my show.’ … She didn’t know who I was.”

Silver, 53, joined Van Dyke on Ted Danson and wife Mary Steenburgen’s podcast, correcting the acclaimed actor’s side of the story.

A Magical Romance! Dick Van Dyke and Arlene Silver’s Relationship Timeline

“That’s not true,” Silver quipped. “Of course, I knew who he is; he’s Dick Van Dyke! I said I had never seen anything he had done.”

Van Dyke chimed in, pointing out that 1964’s Mary Poppins was included in his filmography that Silver had “never seen.” At the time, Silver wasn’t aware that Van Dyke was smitten by her.

“In a way, it was kind of good for me because she wasn’t [overly] impressed or anything,” he noted. “I was just a guy. It was a hard sell!”

Van Dyke and Silver, who have a 46-year age difference, tied the knot in 2012 after five years of dating. (Van Dyke shared four children with late ex-wife Margerie Willett, who died in 2008.)

The makeup artist eventually got around to watching Van Dyke’s role in the beloved Disney musical. He famously played lamplighter Bert in Mary Poppins opposite Julie Andrews as the titular magical nanny. He also portrayed Mr. Dawes Senior after urging the film studio.

Dick Van Dyke’s Wife Arlene Says 46-Year Age Gap Is ‘Irrelevant’

“I did a screen test, I made myself up and got out in front of what was the banker’s house and sang a little song,” Van Dyke recalled. “I think what sold it was at the end of the song, I went over and pretended to pee in the bushes — that broke old Walt [Disney]. I think that gave me the part.”

Van Dyke had previously claimed that he offered to play the banker for free despite studio exec Disney’s hesitations.

The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang star and Silver filmed the joint podcast appearance inside their Malibu home, which made Danson, 77, and Steenburgen, 71, starstruck. Throughout the hour-long conversation, Van Dyke further attempted to remember highlights of his illustrious career.

“I’m his memory,” Silver quipped, later noting Van Dyke often rewatches his past projects and realizes “new things” with every viewing.

In one of those looks, she just again slayed another trench coat style and we found the luxe look for less — just $77 on Amazon!

The Dare I Say It author was just spotted on the streets of New York City on January 21, 2024 basically embodying the rich mom fashion aesthetic.

Watts’s elegant look illustrated how the coat can be dressed up for upscale occasions like big days in the office or a gallery opening. But this type of coat has a major range.

Amy Schumer Used Dad’s MS to Get Out of a Date, Lied About Hospitalization

Amy Schumer Call Her Daddy Sex Confessions
Call Her Daddy

Amy Schumer has gone to some great lengths to get out of plans — including using her dad’s multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis as an excuse.

“I was starting to date this comedian. I don’t know if he still does comedy, but this is 20 years ago,” Schumer, 43, explained during her “Call Her Daddy” podcast appearance on Wednesday, January 22. “We were supposed to work a weekend together at this club, in the middle of nowhere. The way he like kissed me, it was like soap opera. He had a real moment with me, slow. I was like, ‘I want to go home.’”

Schumer “pretended” like she was sick that night.

“In the morning, I texted my mom at like 5 a.m,” she continued. “I was like, ‘In an hour, call me and tell me that dad’s in the hospital.’ I’m laying next to this guy, my mom — who is a real gangster — calls me, goes, ‘Your dad’s in the hospital,’ and the guy’s still sleeping.”

Amy Schumer and Husband Chris Fischer's Complete Relationship Timeline 

The comedian was “trying to cry” after getting the call. “I think that’s the biggest lie,” she added.

“My dad lives on. He will not die,” Schumer joked. “He is very much with us. He did tell me the other day what he wants done with his ashes. … What he said was, ‘I just want to be with you.’ I’m like, I don’t think I can commit to eternity with my dad right now.”

During the podcast episode, Schumer — who is married to chef Chris Fischer, with whom she shares 5-year-old son Gene — spoke candidly about her relationship with her parents, especially in her youth.

“I had major trauma and stuff when I was 12, which I’m totally happy to talk about,” she said. “My dad got MS, and we went bankrupt. We had money. We were comfortable. And then, we were poor.”

Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer’s Sweetest Family Moments

Schumer said that the change in her family’s financial status happened “overnight,” and it caused them to move around a lot.

“We went from living in, what I would consider a mansion, by Real Housewives standards. Not decorated well or anything, but a big house with a pool and whatever, to a maybe two-bedroom, tiny home,” she recalled. “We moved every year, and we would live in someone’s basement or someone’s attic. That kind of stuff.”

Schumer said elsewhere in the episode that her mom had an affair with her close friend’s dad. They were only together for two months.

“My parents got a divorce, and my mom started dating my friend’s father,” she said. “It was a whole nightmare. And I really was traumatized and didn’t think I was traumatized.”

Kyle Richards Explains Why She Has ‘Not Watched’ Recent ‘RHOBH’ Episodes

Kyle Richards has not been tuning into The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14.

“I’m going to be honest, I have not watched three episodes now,” Kyle, 56, admitted during her Amazon Live on Tuesday, January 21. “It’s not good for my anxiety, and it’s been really frustrating and hard to watch when I felt like every time I went into the group, I was ambushed.”

Kyle said that “right out of the gate” she was dealing with feuds — referring to the ongoing tension with Dorit Kemsley on the show.

“I started feeling like even people who I thought were my friends, I had to question, and I was honestly depressed at that time,” Kyle continued. “I wasn’t used to being depressed, and I probably should’ve taken the season off, to be honest, but I didn’t.”

RHOBH's Kyle Thinks There's a 'Way Back' With Dorit After Explosive Fight 

The Bravo star said she was “not equipped” to deal with feeling like she was being “ambushed” when walking settings for the show.

Kyle’s livestream on Tuesday came hours before this week’s RHOBH episode, which showed her having a breakdown and walking off set during a gathering with all the women.

“I’m not going to be made to feel like I’ve done something wrong,” Kyle said through tears during the episode, directing her ire toward Dorit. “I’ve loved you and your family. F— everybody, I’m done with this s—. I’m not doing this anymore.”

Kyle’s anger came after she was asked, once again, to read a specific text message that she previously sent to Dorit’s estranged husband, PK Kemsley.

“I know you have a lot of friends but I am also one and here if you need me. I’ve never repeated anything you have ever shared with me and never would. (Meaning you can trust me always),” the message read. “Will keep sending memes and won’t forget laughing emojis.”

Kyle Richards Was Not Herself When Walking Off 'RHOBH' Season 14

During Tuesday’s episode, Kyle claimed that certain parts of the message (namely the “I’ve never repeated anything” line) was not about Dorit.

“I’m not proud of how I handled [walking off set], but I don’t regret walking out because I was not capable of dealing with that in my life at that point,” Kyle said during Tuesday’s livestream. “I honestly was at a breaking point, and that was it. When you’re going through a lot in your life, you go and you hang out with your friends to feel better.”

She continued, “Our lives are being followed so it’s a different circumstance. I get that, but I still thought I would feel supported in some way and I was just hurt.”

Julia Fox’s Bag Charm Is an Actual Mayonnaise Bottle: ‘Mayo Is Back!’

Feature Julia Fox Late Night with Seth Meyers

Julia Fox has eccentric fashion in the bag, making conversation-starting carries her signature — from human hair-covered party clutches to human body-bag purses and beyond.

Fox, 34, debuted her latest can’t-look-away accoutrement on the Tuesday, January 21, episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, where she literally glided onto the stage in a pair of rare Dsquared2 ice-skates-slash-booties. ”These are iconic,” she told Meyers, 51, matter of factly.

But that was far from the slickest accessory of the night, as she was armed with a Chopova Lowen tote with an actual mayonnaise bottle styled like a bag charm and buckled to the front of the studded design — right next to a single Victorian sterling silver spoon for added campy, convenient appeal.

“What a fantastic look! Thank you for sharing it with us. Do you want to talk about it?” Meyers asked while seemingly already knowing Fox’s answer, which was, “I do want to talk about it.”

Julia Fox’s Most Over the Top Fashion Moments

The Uncut Gems actress continued: “I feel like in the last couple years, mayonnaise has really gotten a bad rep. And, you know, I’m on to really stand up for the underdogs.”

Debuting at London Fashion Week in November 2024, the Margaret bag is named after Margaret Hellmann, co-founder of condiment brand Hellman’s, and is bedecked with various mayo-related accessories. The collaborative design set out to take the “polarzing” condiment “beyond the fridge,” as Dezeen reported at the time.

Fox held up her condiment-adorned carrier for the audience to see. “So, mayo is coming back for 2025. Tell your friends, everybody!” she declared, eliciting hoots and hollers from the crowd.

She also caused a stir with her similarly wacky wardrobe, which consisted of a piped collared blue bodysuit reassembling an ice-skater’s uniform topped with a gargantuan white shaggy fur coat.

Fox’s glam was just as eye-catching, as she sported  bottle-dyed platinum coif chopped short, plus bleached blonde arches dusted with frosted eye shadow, metallic highlighter and a powdered-to-perfection complexion that completed the wintry beauty vibes.

Fox was there to discuss her role in the newly released spectral thriller Presence, where she plays a New Jersey real estate broker. She insisted that, like her character, Cece, she’s “a down to earth girl” who loves the egg-based condiment as much as the next person. “I eat these dry sandwiches,” she joked. “It’s like, I want my mayo, OK!” Meyers quipped, “You’re not fancy aioli.” Fox added, “Exactly!”

Whether it’s her latest horror film or scary-cool handbag, whatever she’s selling, Fox’s fans are buying.

Julia Haart's Daughter Celebrates Mom’s ‘Win’ Amid Silvio Scaglia Divorce

Julia Haart’s eldest daughter, Batsheva, is cheering for her mom after a victory in her divorce from Silvio Scaglia.

“Celebrating my moms [sic] win in her divorce case!” Batsheva, 31, shared via TikTok on Tuesday, January 21, captioning the post, “She wonnnnnn @juliahaart finally getting her freedom.”

In the clip, Haart, 53 and her loved ones sing and dance to DJ Khaled’s “All I Do Is Win” inside an apartment. At the end of the video, Haart and her daughter — who is holding a glass of champagne — sweetly embrace.

“Everybody gets champagne!” Batsheva said while grabbing glasses from the table.

Before the ruling, the My Unorthodox Life star was surprised by Batsheva in court. (Haart shares Batsheva, Shlomo, 29, Miriam, 24, and Aron, 18, with ex-husband Yosef Hendler.)

“For the past 3 years my mom has been fighting for her life to prove her truth. She is the most inspiring woman in my life because no matter how dark her life got she didn’t give up,” Batsheva wrote in the joint Instagram post with Haart. “She is a true fighter for freedom and I am so blessed to call her my mom. I love you so much @juliahaart.”

Us Weekly confirmed on Tuesday, January 21, that Haart received 50 percent interest in Freedom Holding — the company that owns the exes’ business Elite World Models agency. She was also awarded power of attorney over Scaglia’s 50 percent.

The judge also ruled that Haart could receive $7.4 million in unpaid management fees from 2019 to 2021 and half the proceeds of a Kees Van Dongen painting owned by Freedom Holding that Scalgia sold for nearly $3 million. Haart also won half the cash withdrawals that Silvio made from their businesses since their divorce began.

Julia Haart Wins Business, $65 Million Home in Silvio Scaglia Divorce

Haart also claimed to have reinstated herself as the interim CEO while she searched for someone to fulfill the gig. Haart shared in a statement that “justice was served.”

Page Six further reported on Tuesday that Haart also received the exes’ $65 million apartment and nearly $10 million in cash.

Haart’s lawyer, Michael Beyda of Chemtob, Moss, Forman and Beyda, also released a statement: “Julia Haart has faced immense challenges over the past three years, yet her resilience and commitment to her values have been unwavering. This victory is a testament to the power of staying true to oneself and refusing to stoop to the level of opposition. We are deeply grateful to Judge Pearlman for holding Mr. Scaglia accountable for his actions and inactions.”

Haart’s legal battle with Scaglia began in February 2022 when Us confirmed that she filed for divorce two years after the pair said “I do.” While they were married, Haart was named the CEO of Scaglia’s model and talent agency, Elite World Group.

My Unorthodox Life’s Julia Haart and Silvio’s Relationship Ups and Downs

After news broke that Haart and Scaglia split, she was fired and claimed to be “completely blindsided” by his actions. One day after the filing and her exit from the company, Haart was accused of making an “illegal withdrawal” from the EWG bank account. Page Six went on to report that Haart filed a petition for a restraining order against Scaglia, alleging that he became “increasingly volatile, abusive and unhinged.”

In March 2022, Us exclusively confirmed that Scaglia filed a complaint against Haart and claimed she stole a $401,500 Bentley that was owned by EWG. Three months later, Haart filed a lawsuit alleging that Scaglia withdrew $1.5 million from the account holding her CEO salary. In December 2022, Scaglia dropped the lawsuits filed against Haart.

Travis Kelce's 'Eras Tour' Cameo Earns iHeartRadio Music Award Nomination

Taylor Swift earned an impressive 10 nominations for the 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards, one of which she shares with boyfriend Travis Kelce.

Among Swift’s nods is one for Favorite Surprise Guest. In the new show category, Swift, 35, was recognized for enlisting Kelce, also 35, for a special moment during her June 2024 concert in London.

The couple, who have been together since 2023, is up against the likes of Charli XCX and Lorde, Coldplay and Selena Gomez, Jennifer Hudson and Cher and Luke Combs and the Twisters cast, among others for their respective stage collaborations in 2024.

Kelce is a double honoree in the category, also receiving recognition for his and Kansas City Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes’ walk-on roles during Morgan Wallen’s August 2024 show in Missouri.

Travis Kelce Says He’s 'Always Down’ to Have Fun on Stage With ‘Tay Tay’

Kelce and Mahomes, 29, had accompanied Wallen, 31, from his greenroom to the stage at Arrowhead Stadium during his One Night at a Time concert tour. Two months earlier, the tight end joined Swift on stage in London.

During Swift’s third of eight performances at Wembley Stadium, Kelce joined dancers Kam Saunders and Jan Ravnik for the “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” pantomime segment. Dressed in matching tuxedos and top hats, the three men were tasked with “reviving” Swift after she “dies” during “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Kelce carried his girlfriend across the catwalk before fake-applying blush to her cheeks.

“It’s very unlike me. I’m not big, I don’t like going on stages. There were a lot of people out there, really didn’t feel at home,” Kelce later said during an episode of his “New Heights” podcast. “I initially mentioned to Tay, I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 [section]?’ She started laughing, she was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?’”

He added, “I’ve seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here. And sure enough, she found the perfect part of the show for me to come in. There was no, like, bike in case I ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was, like, the safest option.”

Kelce was able to attend over a dozen of Swift’s Eras shows since they started dating, telling Us Weekly in May 2024 that the performances were “unbelievable.”

Swift wrapped her two-year Eras Tour run in December 2024, which Kelce honored by organizing a surprise “End of an Era” party that same month. He sported his stage costume for the occasion, top hat, makeup brush and all.

Swift’s Eras Tour also earned iHeartRadio Music Awards nominations for Favorite Tour Style, Favorite Tour Tradition and Favorite On Screen. In addition, she was recognized in the Artist of the Year, Pop Artist of the Year, Best Collaboration, Best Music Video and Best Lyrics categories.

The iHeartRadio Music Awards air Monday, March 17, on Fox.

The Valley's Kristen Doute Reveals Last Time She Spoke to Stassi Schroeder

Kristen Doute revealed the last time she spoke to Stassi Schroeder since their time on Vanderpump Rules.

“The last time I talked to her [was] like a year ago. When [Luke Broderick and I] had our pregnancy loss, she was texting me pretty often and being very loving,” Doute, 41, who is currently expecting a baby with Broderick, 33, told Alex Baskin on the Tuesday, January 21, episode of his “Bravo’s Hot Mic” podcast. “It was the way I think she just naturally is, especially because we were in each other’s lives and were very close for so long.”

The former costars interacted once more after that. “Since then — as of today — we haven’t spoken since her anniversary [with husband Beau Clark],” Doute added. “I texted her and she was like, ‘Oh, you introduced us.'”

Doute clarified there is “no hate” between her and Schroeder, 36.

Where Does the 'Pump Rules' Cast Stand With Stassi Schroeder?

“It’s just how people grow apart,” she added. “She has two kids and a huge taxing career that keeps her very busy. She has a husband and she has a different group of friends.”

Doute and Schroeder were original cast members on Vanderpump Rules when it debuted in 2013. They were both fired in June 2020 due to past racially insensitive behavior toward former costar Faith Stowers. Doute broke her silence on the scandal one month later.

“I think the biggest thing that I’ve learned is that I have so much to learn,” she said on the “Hollywood Raw” podcast in July 2020. “I know that’s super cliché and a lot of people say that, but it’s absolutely true, because I think that I thought that I understood racism, but now I’m really learning about unconscious bias. Learning about anti-racism. Learning about how we can do things locally to really truly make changes and putting work into your community locally to make those changes I think [are] so important.”

Schroeder later addressed the “huge” mistakes that led to her departure from Bravo. “Just imagine making a terrible mistake, but one that has nothing to do with how good you are at your job. And one that doesn’t truly reflect who you are,” she wrote in her 2022 memoir, Off With My Head. “You’re told to stay quiet. You’re already ashamed of the mistake you made. You already want to fix it. But on top of that, every single person you know or have ever met knows about this mistake.”

‘Vanderpump Rules’ Cast's Biggest Scandals and Controversies

Doute has since made her reality TV return with The Valley, which premiered in 2024 and also stars VPR alums Jax Taylor and Brittany Cartwright. Schroeder will also be back on TV soon after reuniting with Lisa Vanderpump for season 2 of Vanderpump Villa. Schroeder additionally signed a larger deal with Hulu that includes her own show, Stassi Says. The half-hour docu-comedy is currently in development.

Amid their individual success, Doute revealed in October 2024 that she didn’t hear from Schroeder after getting engaged to Broderick.

“I have not heard from Stassi,” she shared on her “Balancing Act” podcast. “I think the last time I heard from Stassi would have been on her anniversary when I wished her a happy anniversary and we exchanged some kind words. That’s kind of it.”

Doute continued: “I’m OK with that. I have a lot of love for her and for her family. I’ve said that a million times. That’s never going to change for me. We have a lot of history and she used to be like a sister to me.”

Biggest 'Vanderpump Rules' Feuds Ever — and Where the Relationships Stand

While reflecting on their bond, Doute noted that their situation has since changed, adding, “I just wish her the best. Sometimes friendships don’t last. That’s it. People just grow apart.”

Doute elaborated on Tuesday about which former costars she’s in contact with.

“Katie Maloney, I’m still close to. Are we best friends the way that we were? No. We are in very different places in our lives,” she continued. “It’s kind of the same thing. I am closer with Katie, but it is OK for people to just grow apart without there being some big dramatic break up — strangely enough.”

Emotional Kirk Herbstreit Reveals Wife Ali's Breast Cancer Diagnosis

Kirk Herbstreit revealed the personal reason his emotions overflowed during the broadcast of the College Football Playoff National Championship.

Herbstreit, 55, was seen wiping away tears after the Monday, January 20 game between his alma mater Ohio State and Notre Dame, which saw the Buckeyes defeat the Fighting Irish 34-23.

“I haven’t really talked about this publicly, but Ali, my wife, faced some stuff,” Herbsteit said on ESPN’s The Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday, January 21. “It’s been a tough year for me behind the scenes. My wife got diagnosed with breast cancer.”

Kirk and Ali got married in June 1998 and the couple share four sons: twins Tye and Jake, 24, Zak, 22, and Chase, 18. 

Sports Moments That Tugged at Our Heartstrings in 2024

In addition to his wife’s diagnosis, Herbstreit’s beloved golden retriever Ben died of cancer in November 2024.

“Ben dies, it was just a lot of emotion,” Herbstreit continued. “And when you’re doing what we do, you endure. You know, you do your job. And I think what happened — I couldn’t predict it, but when they won, I was so happy for [Ohio State head coach] Ryan Day and those players that I just talked about, because of what they faced and all the stuff behind the scenes. It was almost like, I don’t know, maybe a release of all that pent up stuff. It just got the best of me.” 

Herbstreit’s son Zak was a senior tight end on the Ohio State roster. In June 2023, Zak spent five days in the hospital due to a heart condition. While Zak did not see any game action this season, he was a vital part of the team’s day-to-day activities.

“My son had heart failure two years ago,” Kirk told McAfee, 37. “They were talking about a heart replacement there for a while, and he had to medically retire. The gratitude I have for Ryan Day putting his arms around Zak and keeping him involved. You know, he’s almost like a [graduate assistant] with what he was doing.”

Kirk added, “So there was that side of it, looking down and seeing him in his jersey after, you know, potentially facing replacing your heart to that.”

Ultimately, Kirk said his emotional on-air moment was “not something you think about or predict. It’s just like a perfect storm for me.”

After the National Championship, Kirk posted a candid moment via Instagram between him and Zak in the bowels of Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. 

“Love you Zak! Congratulations,” Kirk wrote alongside a picture of the father and son embracing. “What a special night!”

Paige DeSorbo Weighs In on 'Breakup Season' After Craig Conover Split

Summer House costars Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover are one of several celebrity couples to recently announce a split.

“It’s breakup season,” DeSorbo, 32, declared on the Tuesday, January 21, episode of the “Giggly Squad” podcast after her cohost Hannah Berner mentioned Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s breakup. “So is Jessica Alba [and Cash Warren]. So is Kaia Gerber [and Austin Butler],” she said, while Berner, 33, also mentioned Bachelor Nation’s Rachael Kirkconnell and Matt James.

“Something’s in the air and women are like, ‘Hey, you know what? No,’” DeSorbo noted.

Though Berner has been married to comedian Des Bishop since 2022, she said that she’s been “loving this breakup season.” She explained, “The girls, they’re like, ‘It’s winter, and I actually just want to watch murder documentaries and fart on my own. And I don’t need someone to cuddle with.’ Cuddling? Overrated. Like, summer is fun. You’re hooking up. You’re tan. You’re making out with guys. Winter — don’t f—ing touch me.”

Paige DeSorbo Replies to Fans Making TikToks About Craig Conover Split

DeSorbo agreed with Berner’s comments, hinting that she’s been enjoying the single life so far. “I want to be wrapped in my sweatpants in a fur blanket with my fuzzy socks. And if you’re also under my same blanket, I’m going to get hot. And I don’t want to get hot,” she stated. “You know, like I have the perfect temperature right now. Get your fricking sweaty balls away from me.”

Less than one month after Conover denied breakup rumors, DeSorbo confirmed that she and her fellow Bravo star had called it quits after three years of dating. “Craig and I have decided to no longer be together,” she shared on the December 30, 2024, episode of the “Giggly Squad” podcast. “I love him, I think he loves me. I think we will remain friends.”

Despite calling Conover “one of the best people I’ve met in my entire life,” the Bravostar said the split was “the right decision for [the] both of us.”

Paige DeSorbo and Craig Conover’s Relationship Timeline

Conover broke his silence on the breakup in a January 7 Instagram Story statement, writing, “[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. Remember to be kind to Paige and me and yourselves and all of that good stuff.”

One day after their breakup news broke, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Conover was “really pushing for the next steps and wanted to settle down with her,” but being long distance made things difficult. “Paige does not want to move to Charleston, and logistically it was never going to work out long term,” the insider said of DeSorbo, who resides in New York City. “Many of their friends are not shocked at all, but everyone is sad for them.”

Since the split, DeSorbo has said she “died laughing” after rumors spread online that she cheated on Conover with Saturday Night Live star Marcello Hernandez. “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,’” she said on the January 7 episode of her and Berner’s podcast. “I was like, ‘Marcello, I’m so f—ing sorry. This is so embarrassing.’ And no one involved was defending me, which I found interesting.”

The “Gucci Flip Flops” rapper didn’t share what type of cancer she was diagnosed with at the time but addressed rumors that she has breast cancer on Tuesday via social media, per reports.

“Y’all so worried about me, and y’all don’t even know what kind of cancer I have,” Bhabie added.“It’s not breast cancer that is a rumor.”

Last month, she posted a pic of her mane growing out a bit since debuting a pixie cut in October 2024. In the selfie, she pushed her bangs to the side as her coils hung slightly over her ears. Her fans complimented her “Betty Boop” coif in the comments section.

“I love this cut on you,” one follower wrote, as a second gushed, “I love the short hair – you have a great face for it.” A third fan added, “It’s giving Betty Boop, and I’m so here for it 🔥.”

Bone Chilling Cold? These 19 Winter Finds Make You Feel Like You're Under a Heater

As a lifelong New Yorker, you’d think I’d be prepared whenever a polar vortex makes an unexpected appearance each winter. I’m no stranger to inches of snow leading to school closures.
