David Beckham Strips Down to Boxers in His Sexiest Hugo Boss Campaign Yet

David Beckham is bringing the heat in his sexiest Hugo Boss campaign yet, stripping down to nothing but his underwear. The smoldering images demanded attention, as did the accompanying video — both shot and directed by the legendary fashion photography duo Mert and Marcus — which instantly went viral.

The campaign visuals dropped Thursday, January 30, much to the delight of the former pro footballer’s (very) thirsty followers, including his wife Victoria Beckham. Posh Spice reshared her husband’s Instagram photo with a cheeky caption that read: “My boss,” along with a winking-face emoji.

David, 49, showcased his sculpted physique and tattooed torso in a number of items from the brand’s latest range, including a tiny pair of black hip briefs. Then he slipped into snug white boxer briefs as he relaxed on a leather armchair for yet another sexy snap — and that’s not all.

In the tantalizing video, David stripped down to the soon-to-be-released briefs, flaunting his famously sculpted physique, washboard abs and (much) more. The clip sees him emerging from a white Aston Martin sports car in a sharp black Hugo Boss suit, coming home to his massive warehouse-style Manhattan apartment.

Here he proceeds to rip off his jacket, shirt and tie, unbuckling his belt and dropping his pants, putting him and the brand’s new designs on display. David strikes sultry poses as he goes about his nighttime routine — while shirtless in his underwear and socks — from bench-pressing to binge-watching TV to playing pool to casually eating a bowl of cereal.

He really gets temperatures soaring in an eye-popping steamy shower scene that leaves little to the imagination, even baring his preternaturally pert bum for a hot second. The campaign showcases the new Boss One Bodywear collection, which includes slick logoed styles crafted from a figure-hugging blend of cotton and elastane designed to offer all-day comfort and confidence. (It also doesn’t hurt if you’ve got a rock-hard bod, like David Beckham.)

“I once said that my bodywear modeling days had come to an end, but when Boss shared their ambition for the range and brought in my good friends Mert and Marcus to shoot the campaign with their brilliant creative ideas, I simply couldn’t refuse,” Beckham said via a press release. “The new Boss One collection is beautifully made.”

Daniel Grieder, CEO of Hugo Boss, added: “’It is also a testament to our joint dedication to style and excellence. Bodywear is an iconic product group, and with this campaign, we aim to inspire customers and fans of the brand worldwide more than ever.”

Consider Us inspired by the Hugo Boss-clad Beckham who, once again, proved he’s aging like a delicious fine wine.

The BOSS ONE Bodywear collection will be available on boss.com, at dedicated pop-ups, at BOSS stores globally and via selected BOSS wholesalers from February 1.

Matt James Spotted Out in NYC After Rachael Kirkconnell Split

The Bachelor’s Matt James isn’t letting a fresh break-up stop him getting out and about!

James, 33, was spotted braving the chilly weather in New York City in photos taken on Tuesday, January 28 and published by E! Online on Thursday, January 30.

In the photos, James rugged up in a black hooded puffer jacket and gray gloves teamed with dark athletic pants and matching sneakers for the outing – the same day his ex, Rachael Kirkconnell spilled the details of their split on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast.

James revealed he and Kirkconnell, 28, had called it quits via an Instagram post shared on January 16. (Kirkconnell and James met on The Bachelor season 25 in 2021 and ultimately chose to date each other outside of the show.)

“Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts,” James wrote alongside a  photo from their time on The Bachelor. “Give us a peace [sic] about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord 💔.”

During her appearance on “Call Her Daddy,” Kirkconnell shared further insight into what went wrong with their relationship with host Alex Cooper.

“He said that at the end of the day there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife,” Kirkconnell shared. “At the end of the day, there are things that we aren’t compatible with and the whole accountability and saying sorry and all that was really the main thing.”

She continued: “It was just one of those things where he, I think, just had this realization that ‘I should want to propose to you by this time. Like, at this point in our relationship, I should be wanting those things and I should be ready for that. But I’m not still, I still don’t feel like we’re ready or I don’t feel like I’m ready. I don’t know if I ever see myself proposing to you. I can’t actually see myself married to you.’”

Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s Split: What Went Wrong?

Kirkconnell also confessed on the podcast that James uploaded the Instagram post announcing the split just three hours after they had broken up. In addition, Kirkconnel revealed she discovered the news had been made public while getting ready to leave Tokyo after a trip to Japan.

“We’re literally getting ready to take off and my phone blows up,” she explained. “It’s one of my best friends and it says, ‘Rach,’ with a bunch of question marks, and as soon as I saw that, I’m like, ‘Oh my gosh, how does she know?’ and then she texts me again and said, ‘I saw Matt’s post. Is this real life?’ And that’s how I found out that he posted.”

Tonya Harding is mourning the loss of the victims killed in the American Airlines passenger plane collision with an army helicopter in Washington D.C.

The former figure skater, 54, took to social media on Thursday, January 30 to share her devastation over the tragic crash, in which more than 60 people — including at least 14 professional US and international figure skaters — are feared to have been killed.

“The events that took place last night in Washington D.C. are absolutely devastating 💔,” she posted via her Instagram account. “I have been told members of the US figure skating team were on board, as well as international professional figure skaters and some family members as well.”

Harding concluded, “I’m sending my love and prayers to all the victims and their families.”

Tearful Nancy Kerrigan Reacts to Plane Crash: 'Not Sure How to Process It'

Harding is well known for her controversial history with former figure skating rival Nancy Kerrigan, who was assaulted in 1994 by a man hired by Harding’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly.  The controversy was later turned into the 2017 movie I, Tonya, in which Harding was portrayed by Margot Robbie.

Kerrigan also reacted to the Washington D.C plane crash on Thursday, January 30.

“[I’m] not sure how to process it, which is why I’m here. Many of you may know that my husband is my agent. He keeps getting calls to do interviews, and I thought that was weird,” Kerrigan, 55, tearfully said during a press conference held at the Skating Club of Boston rink. “I didn’t feel like it was right to be home and doing interviews for this … I think we all just need to go together. We just wanted to be here and be part of our community.”

Figure Skaters Share Tributes After Fatal Potomac River Plane Crash

She added,“I just feel for the athletes, the skaters, their families and anyone who was on that plane — not just the skaters because it’s just such a tragic event. We’ve been through tragedies before as Americans, as people and we are strong. So, my response is to be with people I care about and I love; I wanted to support. That’s why I’m here.”

The accident occurred when the flight collided with a U.S. Army Black Hawk helicopter as it was attempting to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. Emergency officials have recovered 28 bodies as of Thursday, January 30, and there are not believed to be any survivors. The plane, American Airlines flight 5342, was carrying 60 passengers and four crew. The helicopter held three U.S. soldiers.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Seek to Dismiss Justin Baldoni’s Lawsuit

Inside Blake Lively s Mindset Amid Lawsuit Against Justin Baldoni

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are seeking to dismiss Justin Baldoni’s defamation lawsuit.

Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, told a federal judge on Thursday, January 30, that they will move to dismiss the legal action filed against them by the It Ends With Us director, 40, Variety reported the same day.

Per Variety, each side’s attorneys are set to appear in court on Monday, February 3 for the case’s first hearing.

According to the outlet, the couple’s attorneys filed the notice on Thursday after Judge Lewis Liman asked for a letter to “indicate in one sentence the Defendant’s intent to make a motion to dismiss.”

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Reported 'It Ends With Us' Drama Explained

Us Weekly has reached out to Baldoni’s representatives for comment.

Rumors of a rift between Baldoni and Lively first arose in August 2024 during the promotional trail for It Ends With Us when the pair, who were both the lead actors in the film, did not do press together.

In December 2024, Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment. In the court documents, which were obtained by Us Weekly after reporting from TMZ and The New York Times, Lively also accused Baldoni of launching a “social manipulation” campaign against her to “destroy” her reputation. The docs also claim that Lively was not the only cast member to complain about Baldoni. (Baldoni denied all allegations against him made in the lawsuit.)

Days after Lively sued him, Baldoni was among 10 plaintiffs who launched a $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times for its coverage of Lively’s accusations. (A spokesperson for The New York Times told Us that the outlet is planning to “vigorously defend against the lawsuit.”)

Lively filed a lawsuit that same day against Baldoni in a New York federal court which mirrored her earlier claims — which were filed with the California Civil Rights Department. In addition to Baldoni, the actress is also suing publicists Melissa Nathan and Jennifer Abel, along with Wayfarer Studios. The lawsuit alleged sexual harassment, retaliation, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress, invasion of privacy and lost wages. (Baldoni’s side denies all claims made in the lawsuit.)

Justin Baldoni Claims Blake Lively 'Kicked' Him Out of 'It Ends With Us'

Baldoni’s studio filed a new lawsuit on Thursday, January 16 against Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloane, and her husband, Reynolds, seeking damages of $400 million. The lawsuit includes accusations of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims.

In response, Lively’s legal team told Us Weekly via a statement that Baldoni’s side was using a “desperate” strategy that “​​attempts to turn the tables on the victim.” Lively’s legal team claimed the strategy will ultimately “fail.”

Pamela Anderson Proves Pajama Dressing Is Back — and Never Looked Chicer

“I want to be a little more polished but not look overdone,” Pamela Anderson recently said of her new fuss-free fashion aesthetic in an interview with Martha Stewart that appears in the latest issue of Elle, published online on Friday, January 24.

Anderson, 57, brought that point home while en route to appear on the January 30 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! She arrived at the studio in sexy-sophisticated black PJs and pearl-encrusted pumps, both by the legendary French fashion house Chanel.

The moment was a long-awaited rejoice of the return of loungewear as everyday-wear, after the pajama dressing look was all the rage in 2022, until it went from trendy to, well, tired, overnight.

Before then, every A-lister, from Angelina Jolie to Selena Gomez to Gigi Hadid, had spent months collectively making compelling statements for 24/7 pajamas that made it acceptable, if not encouraged, to leave the house in silk pajamas or slouchy sweats — simply add high heels.

Pamela Anderson Has More Fans Now That She Stopped Wearing Makeup

Her latest ensemble is all the more compelling considering that Anderson outfits herself. As she revealed to Variety at the 2025 Golden Globes, her stunning Oscar de la Renta look came together with “no stylist, no glam team, just me.” And the award-winning actor doesn’t need a red carpet to prove her self-styling strategy looks effortless but actually works overtime.

Indeed, The Last Showgirl also had Us quickly warming up to the idea of tonal sleepwear as streetwear back in early January, when Anderson was seen arriving at SiriusXM in New York City wearing similarly laid-back yet incredibly luxe co-ords: a chic bouclé Chanel set consisting of a relaxed-fit cardigan and wide-leg trousers. She was glowing and makeup-free, per usual.

To take pajamas out of the bedroom and out on the town, ground yours with classic neutral pumps, just like Anderson. Both of her latest PJ outfits were in keeping with her own self-described desire to look polished, not try-hard — or as the Beyoncé-coined catchphrase goes: “I woke up like this.”

If you’re like Us, you’ll be inclined to wear pajamas that go from day to night and back to bed.

Wendell Pierce Shades Negative Comments About 'Suits' Daughter Meghan Markle

Wendell Pierce used his CBS show Elsbeth to support Suits daughter Meghan Markle against public criticism.

During the Thursday, January 30, episode, Elsbeth (Carrie Preston) is investigating a holistic wellness center after a patient is found dead in his car. Elsbeth immediately gets a bad feeling about the facility’s founder (Eric McCormack) after getting the case assignment from Captain Wagner (Pierce).

“In the meantime, I need you on a case. A young man, Cole Campbell, was found deceased on the highway. His car ran off the road,” Captain Wagner said. “The last place he was seen was some fancy spa where celebrities and the royals go to.”

Wagner poked fun at the wellness center’s popularity, adding, “The global press was already trying to frame Meghan Markle, and she wasn’t even there!”

A Guide to the Most Star-Studded Celeb Cameos on Carrie Preston's 'Elsbeth'

Before starring on Elsbeth, Pierce, 61, played Meghan’s onscreen dad in Suits, which ran from 2011 to 2019. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, filmed her final scene for Suits in 2017 amid her engagement to Prince Harry. Meghan later departed the series, moved to the U.K. and married the Duke of Sussex, 40, in 2018.

Pierce recently recalled the last time he filmed a scene with Meghan.

“It was the last night of working and I said, ‘Meghan, your life is going to change, and you’re going to be in a bubble, but just always remember, no matter what, I’m your friend, you have lots of friends,'” he recalled on Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace? in March 2024. “‘We’re always thinking about you, we’ll always be there for you. And you know, no matter where you are, always know you have a friend in me.'”

Harry and Meghan’s time in the U.K. was full of ups and downs and the couple made headlines in 2020 when they announced that they were stepping back from their duties as working members of the royal family. Harry and Meghan confirmed in February 2021 that they would not return to their senior roles and instead moved to California with son Archie, now 5, and daughter Lilibet, now 3.

Meghan Markle Exited Royal Family 5 Years Ago: A Timeline of the Drama

Meghan later revealed that the public scrutiny took a toll on her. “I was like, ‘All of this will stop if I’m not here.’ And that was the scariest thing about it. It was such clear thinking,” she recalled in her and Harry’s 2022 Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

At the time, Meghan “wanted to go somewhere to get help” but claimed she “wasn’t allowed” to seek treatment for her mental health. According to her husband, the royal family didn’t want Meghan’s personal issues to be a public topic of discussion.

“They thought, ‘Why couldn’t she deal with it?’ As if to say, ‘Well, you know, everybody else has dealt with it, why can’t she deal with it?’ But this was different. It was really different,” he explained. “But actually, if you strip all that away and say, ‘OK fine, it was exactly the same,’ so do we still believe that she should have just sucked it up like other members of the family? Or does one think that maybe it’s about time that we stopped?’”

Biggest Royal Family Scandals Through the Years

Harry blamed himself in the aftermath, adding, “I was devastated. I knew that she was struggling. We were both struggling. But I never thought that it would get to that stage. And the fact that it got to that stage, I felt angry and ashamed.”

He continued: “I didn’t deal with it particularly well. I dealt with it as institutional Harry, as opposed to husband Harry. I had been trained to worry more about, ‘What are people gonna think if we don’t go to this event? We’re gonna be late.’ I hate myself for it. What she needed from me was so much more than I was able to give.”

If you or someone you know is struggling or in crisis, help is available. Call or text 988 or chat at 988lifeline.org.

Elsbeth airs on CBS Thursdays at 10 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Southern Hospitality’s Joe Shares ‘Fears’ About Relationship With Maddi

Southern Hospitality Stars Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese s Relationship Timeline 326

Joe Bradley and Maddi Reese’s connection on Southern Hospitality was obvious from the start — but it wasn’t until season 3 that their friendship turned romantic.

“I really have had feelings for her for years, but we were also best friends,” Bradley exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2024. “One day I would wake up and be like, ‘I have a chance with a girl in my dreams’ and the next day I’ll be like, ‘This will never happen.’ And most of our friends told me it would never happen.”

While Bradley and Reese started out as best friends when season 1 of Southern Hospitality premiered in 2022, Bradley harbored romantic feelings for her behind closed doors. Once Reese was single at the start of 2024, Bradley finally made his move.

The pair’s romance went public after Us Weekly exclusively debuted the show’s season 3 trailer in November 2024. During the video, Bradley and Reese seemingly got hitched in Las Vegas.

Southern Hospitality's Leva Insists Maddi and Joe’s Vegas Wedding Was Real

“I think everything in our life is spur of the moment, so it’s pretty on brand for us,” Bradley told Us that December, hinting that the Sin City nuptials might be real. “We’re spontaneous crazy people in the best way possible, but it felt right.”

Scroll down to see Bradley and Reese’s love story from the beginning:

November 2022

Fans were introduced to Bradley and Reese — as well as their Republic Garden & Lounge coworkers — during the Southern Charm spinoff, Southern Hospitality. At the time, Bradley and Reese were both VIP servers. Reese was also a DJ who often performed at the Charleston bar.

January 2023

During season 1, episode 8, Bradley revealed he had romantic feelings for Reese amid her on-again, off-again relationship with Trevor Stokes. The revelation led to a showdown between Bradley and Stokes. Bradley was also yelled at by Reese and coworker Mia Alario, since he was getting cozy with her around the same time.

Bradley called Reese his “work wife” via Instagram, sharing a photo of the pair at Republic.

December 2023

Reese exclusively told Us that she was single after breaking up with Stokes. Her ups and downs with Stokes — which included two cheating scandals — played out during season 2 of Southern Hospitality, which aired from December 2023 to February 2024.

“I am focusing on myself,” Reese explained to Us in December 2023. “I need no drama for a couple of months.” She noted at the time that she wanted a “stable home” so she was trying to “manifest that in my life.”

January 2024

After crossing paths at BravoCon in November 2023, Bradley sparked a romance with Summer House star Danielle Olivera. He raised eyebrows in January 2024 when Us broke the news that Bradely was spotted getting cozy with Luann De Lesseps at a New York City hotel. (Bradley denied anything happened between him and De Lesseps, but eventually confirmed they’d kissed.)

That same month, Bradley exclusively told Us that he was “kind of pressing the breaks a little bit” with Olivera. Olivera, meanwhile, confirmed in February 2024 that they were no longer dating.

February 2024

Following the Southern Hospitality season 2 reunion, Bradley and Reese “started hanging out,” according to Bradley. He exclusively told Us months later, “I have not been with anyone or kissed anyone since last winter around February.”

April 2024

Bradley confirmed to Us that he and Reese “started being boyfriend and girlfriend in the middle of April,” which was “a little bit before the cameras came around” for season 3 of the Bravo series.

Reese added, “We just started dating weeks before we started filming, so I feel like we’re figuring it all out.” She confessed to Us, “I am still uneasy about getting into another relationship or dating or even putting myself out there, so I just feel like it’s going to be really interesting watching that play out and everything.”

July 2024

Reese shared photos from her DJ performance in Las Vegas via Instagram, revealing that the Southern Hospitality cast was there to cheer her on. The performance occurred on what appeared to be the same weekend when Bradley and Reese “got married” by an Elvis impersonator.

“I feel like you’re going to have to tune in to find out [if it’s real],” Reese teased during a joint interview with Bradley in December 2024, telling Us, “I feel like you watch our whole journey from [when] we just started dating to talking about getting serious and taking that kind of big next step. You’ll see that play out and I’m excited because we’re in Vegas when it happens, and that trip is awesome.”

Bradley called the wedding an “epic moment” that he chose to participate in to “show my love for her and prove all the haters wrong.”

“We’re very happy right now,” Bradley gushed to Us about his romance with Reese, noting that he had to “give her time and space to make that safe decision” that she wanted to date him.

Reese, meanwhile, told Us that “timing was everything” when it came to the start of her relationship with Bradley. “I always had feelings for Joe, but I just didn’t know if it was past a friendship or now,” she said, adding that taking that leap of faith was “definitely worth taking that risk.”

'Southern Hospitality' Premiere: Where Do Emmy and Will, More Couples Stand?

January 2025

During the season 3 premiere of Southern Hospitality, both Reese and Bradley confirmed their relationship status. As the season continued, Reese confessed that their friend TJ Dinch spreading rumors about Bradley’s sexuality delayed the couple’s romance.

“Three years ago, everyone was talking about the rumor. So, of course, I kinda believed TJ when he told me Joe is flirty, or fruity, or what’s the word? Gay,” Reese shared during the January 9 episode. “That was the reason why I did not hook up with Joe for a long time.”

Weeks later, Bradley shared his own hesitations about their budding romance, telling the cameras, “A little part of me fears she gets so big she outgrows Charleston” and would leave him behind.

“I already feel she feels like cabin fever living in this small town. I love it here,” he said during the January 30 episode, confessing that, “At the end of the day I want to be her home base.”

Bradley later expressed his fears to Reese, telling her that his “ultimate dream” is to “have a family” with Reese someday. She revealed, “I do want kids. Marriage. I do.”

Skye P. Marshall 'Didn't Know' Who Jason Ritter Was Before 'Matlock'

FEATURE Skye P. Marshall Reveals She Did not Know Who Jason Ritter Was Before Their Matlock Chemistry Read

While discussing her effortless onscreen chemistry with Jason Ritter, Skye P. Marshall revealed that she didn’t actually know her love interest before Matlock.

“During the chemistry read with myself and the actors reading for Julian, to be honest I did not know who Jason Ritter was before that. I have not shared that with anybody,” Marshall, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly about her now-onscreen husband. “I grew up with his father and I adored John Ritter. When I popped up on the Zoom, I definitely knew Jason’s face but I did not know that that was him until after the fact.”

Marshall was able to develop a natural connection with Ritter, 44, as her scene partner, adding, “I just saw a guy who was there to do the work and have some fun. I intentionally was throwing curve balls and he went with it in such a seamless way.”

Matlock, which premiered on CBS in September 2024, immediately got Us invested in Olympia and Julian’s love story. They started the show as exes trying to coparent amid their divorce while Olympia secretly moved on with another attorney at their firm: Elijah (Eme Ikwuakor). Before Olympia could tell Julian, her romance with Elijah ended and she has since reconnected with her estranged husband.

“Where you see Olympia, I do a lot of physicality in between the lines. Jason was really great at meeting me in those moments — outside of the dialogue — where he is such an incredible, active listener,” Marshall explained to Us. “While he’s listening to me and watching me, he only makes choices based on the pace, the tone and the energy that I was giving and the projection. He would meet me there and he’s fantastic at being not just an incredible performer but one of the best active listeners in a scene that I have worked with — next to Kathy Bates.”

Marshall recalled seeing Ritter grasp Julian in a way others hadn’t.

“He didn’t play Julian like the rich man who had a rich father and a beautiful wife. He played from a place that was very true and real for him — and that was somebody who was desperately trying to stand on his own,” she noted. “He wanted to create his own legacy and be different. I saw when in our chemistry read one of the lines that I say to him was, ‘You’re right, nepotism wasn’t a factor in my hiring.'”

She continued: “The way Jason took that bullet and then pushed his emotions down, it felt very real for me as someone that was on the receiving end. That’s why when we got off the Zoom, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, this is Jason Ritter.’ Then I felt like an idiot but I’m so glad that I had that moment and that chemistry with him without having any premeditated bias for him.”

While Marshall and Ritter developed a seamless bond, their characters have more obstacles to face. Olympia and Julian’s reunion was short-lived (so far!) after he owned up to having an affair before their first split. That — coupled with the reveal that the other woman was a close friend — caused Olympia to shut down a future with Julian for now.

“Olympia is doing her best to create some kind of balance between work life and professional life with Julian. She’s learning how to build boundaries and how to process her pain while also showing up for other people’s pain. She is not great at compartmentalizing,” the actress admitted. “Now she starts pulling Matty into her drama, which is not the original Olympia that we are very familiar with and you will see that that will create some discomfort with all three of us.”

Despite their ups and downs, Marshall has been “rooting” for Olympia and Julian to make it, saying, “I believe in family and I think they have such an adorable family. Julian coming to Olympia to reveal his secrets is proof that he wants to be better than his father. I’m hoping that one day they can start a new chapter.”

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

Marshall also pointed to the overwhelming positive fan response so far. “I have not seen one person online say they don’t want Olympia and Julian to work out,” she told Us. “That’s really sweet but it’s also very petrifying.”

There is also Elijah, who isn’t completely out of Olympia’s life — or heart.

“Honestly, I did not know what was going to happen between Olympia and Elijah. I hope we get to see more of him as well. But the idea of these two relationships isn’t where we ping pong back and forth. Olympia and Elijah had a goal that once the divorce was finalized, they were going to move forward,” Marshall explained. “Then a wrench was thrown in that plan and it completely took Olympia offline with that relationship with Elijah. But I am interested to see what could have happened there.”

Matlock airs Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET and new episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

OF’s Bonnie Blue Encourages Fans to Bring Their Parents to Her Sex Events

OnlyFans Bonnie Blue on How Much She Makes

Bonnie Blue is continuing to raise eyebrows after encouraging her followers to bring their parents along to her “events.”

The OnlyFans content creator, 25, shared a post via her TikTok account on Wednesday, January 29, with a message to those wanting to be intimate with her.

“Just a reminder you can always bring your mom and dad for moral support to my events,” she said via the video. “If you need someone to help you clean up afterwards… because sometimes it can be messy.”

Doubling down, she added in the caption: “Your mum can wait outside whilst you and your dad take turns.”

OnlyFans' Bonnie Blue Says Her Events Are the 'Best’ for Men to Cheat

Blue has caused controversy after rising to fame for vowing to sleep with 1057 men in 12 hours in order to break a world record — a feat she claimed to achieve earlier this month. Since breaking the record, Blue said via her social media she wants to hold more “events” every six to eight weeks.

The sex worker previously touched on involving parents of the men that sign up for her sexual encounters.

“I like builders and dads,” Blue revealed during an appearance on the “Saving Grace” podcast in October 2024. “I feel like a lot of my subscribers are older. I don’t want to discriminate. I don’t want to just do students. I want to do their dads as well.”

Blue said that she got the idea of sleeping with dads when a male student showed up with his father to one of her sex events.

“When I first saw him with his dad, I thought he’s gonna tell me off,” she said. “No, it was the opposite. He was jealous and wanted to join in.”

The OnlyFans star said she slept with them separately, tending to the son first while his father was “next door in the same apartment.”

However, not everyone’s parents are as willing to be involved — or to have their children involved.

A TikTok video which showed a mother pulling her son out of the queue to sleep with Blue during her world record attempt went viral earlier in January.

“POV: you bring your mum to Bonnie Blue’s event,” the video was captioned. In the clip, the mother can be seen urgently ordering her son to get dressed and get out of there.

“Put on your clothes and come, otherwise I’ll get the police to come for you,” she said. “Put your shoes on and come.”

Kaia Gerber was spotted getting close to Lewis Pullman following her recent split from Austin Butler.

Gerber, 23, was photographed with Pullman, 32, on Wednesday, January 29, according to photos obtained by E! News. The pair were spotted sharing a hug while out and about in Los Angeles. The outing coincidentally fell on Pullman’s birthday.

Pullman and Gerber were seen at the LA restaurant Salazar. The Top Gun Maverick star’s father, Bill Pullman, also joined them for the special occasion.

Gerber and Lewis kept their looks low-key for the casual get-together. The actress rocked a jean jacket, athletic pants and flip-flops. She completed the outfit with a green scarf. Lewis donned a white T-shirt over a dark zip-up hoodie, jeans and a baseball cap.

Earlier this month, Gerber made headlines following her breakup with Butler. Multiple outlets reported that the pair called it quits after three years of dating. According to TMZ, Butler, 33, and Gerber broke up at the end of the year. The Elvis actor was also absent from Gerber’s recent family vacation to Mexico.

Gerber and Butler were first linked in December 2021 after attending a yoga class together. Us confirmed at the time the duo were “low-key dating” after their respective splits from Vanessa Hudgens and Jacob Elordi.

Despite being photographed together multiple times, Gerber and Butler did not make their debut as a couple until the 2022 Met Gala. As their romance progressed, Butler and Gerber continued to grow close. Butler joined Gerber and her family for their New Year’s getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in December 2023.

Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber’s Relationship Timeline: The Way They Were

Throughout 2024, Gerber and Butler continued to support each other as they attended multiple functions together. While Gerber opted not to attend the Oscars ceremony with Butler that year, she did step out with the actor for the Vanity Fair afterparty. In June 2024, Kaia was by Butler’s side as he celebrated the Los Angeles premiere of The Bikeriders.

However, towards the end of the year, Gerber and Butler attended multiple events solo. The model walked the Fourth Annual Academy Museum Gala red carpet alone in October 2024. The following month, she also attended the Next Gen 2024 party by herself. Butler, for his part, went stag to the SFFILM Awards Night in San Francisco last month.

Southern Charm’s Salley Got a Boob Job After Feeling 'Insecure' With Ex

Salley Carson Says She Got Breast Implants for Her Ex Fiance

Salley Carson’s broken engagement has been making headlines since she joined The Bachelor in 2021 — and now her ex-fiancé is a topic on Southern Charm.

“I’m getting my girls taken out,” Salley, 30, told fellow season 10 newbie Molly O’Connell on the Thursday, January 30, episode of Southern Charm, referring to her breast implants.

Salley explained that she’d gotten a boob job more than two years ago “when I was with my ex-fiancé,” confessing she “thought that was what he liked.”

Looking back, however, Salley said, “I just felt like I did it for the wrong reasons.”

Salley later told the cameras, “It’s not like my ex-fiancé told me, ‘Your boobs aren’t good enough.’ Or anything like that. He never did. But the girls he was giving attention to had bigger breasts and didn’t look like I looked.”

She confessed that the situation “somewhat made me insecure” at the time, but she has since become more self-confident.

“Now if a guy asked me to get something done or made me feel that way, I would just exit the relationship,” Salley added.

Salley was engaged to Avery Bucholz shortly before leaving to film ABC’s The Bachelor.

Eagle-eyed fans noticed that in August 2021 she was on her bachelorette party in Mexico, but the following month the engagement was off and Salley was headed to Los Angeles to film season 26 of the dating show.

When Salley competed for Clayton Echard’s heart on The Bachelor she was identified as “previously engaged” on camera. (Salley and Avery were slated to tie the knot one day after cameras started rolling.)

During the January 2022 premiere, Salley met Clayton, 31, before the official limo entrances because she was unsure if she was ready to be on the ABC series. At the time, she revealed she called off her engagement due to a “lack of trust.”

Ultimately, Salley chose to walk away from The Bachelor before the rest of the women arrived at the Bachelor mansion. However, she returned to reality TV in October 2022 during season 8 of Bachelor in Paradise.

Salley quit the show shortly after arriving when Genevieve Parisi brought up her ex-fiancé. Genevieve, 29, questioned whether Salley was over her ex, calling her out for seeing him a few days prior to her flight.

“I work with him,” Salley explained at the time, noting she wanted to have a “conversation with him out of respect” before heading to the beach.

In November 2022, Salley played coy about her relationship status and whether she was in fact seeing Avery again following their split. “They’ll just have to keep wondering,” she exclusively told Us Weekly at the time when asked if she’d reunited with her ex.

Salley eventually moved to Charleston and had a brief stint on Southern Hospitality during season 2, which aired in 2024. During her time on the Bravo show she got cozy with Joe Bradley but their romance fizzled out when she made out with Gaston Rojas before their date.

Salley went on to date Gaston for some time before they split and he started seeing Southern Charm’s Taylor Ann Green in late 2023. Now that Salley and Taylor, 30, are on the same show, their relationships with Gaston have become a big story line — as the women don’t agree on what type of guy Gaston is.

When it comes to Southern Charm’s most recent episode, Salley stayed out of the drama, opting to talk to Molly, 37, about how “hard” it is to be a woman. Outside of their chat about her boob job, Salley revealed that she gets lip and chin filler.

“I got Botox today too,” Salley said. Molly replied, “I got Botox too.”

Salley explained, “I think I started to do it because I was insecure but then I realized it makes me feel good too so I’m going to continue to do that.”

Molly — who previously starred on America’s Next Top Model — told the cameras, “I’m not trying to change how I look. I’m just trying to keep it somewhat stable. I wanna look a little younger than I actually am for as long as I can.”

The ladies concluded their coffee date by complimenting each other on their beauty. “Your face looks great,” Salley said. “Cheers to our beautiful faces,” Molly added.

Southern Charm airs on Bravo Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Teen Mom’s Ryan Edwards Reflects on Parenting Bentley After Getting Sober

Teen Mom star Ryan Edwards is grateful for the new relationship he is building with his teenage son, Bentley.

While preparing to celebrate his eldest child’s 16th birthday on the Thursday, January 30, episode of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter, Ryan, 37 was asked to reflect on the positive changes he’s seen in his parenting journey.

“Does it feel good to be there for Bentley and show up to events now that you are sober and being on the right path?” Ryan’s fiancé, Amanda Conner, asked. “How does that make you feel?”

After struggling with addiction for many years, Ryan explained how his sobriety has helped repair his once-distance relationship with Bentley.

How Teen Mom’s Maci Bookout Became Friends With Ryan Edwards’ Girlfriend

“If he ever needs me, I’m here for him and I know that for a little bit, he was worried about me going to jail and then me going to rehab and all this stuff,” he shared. “You hate to worry your kid. As a parent, it should be the other way around.”

While Ryan — who shares Bentley with ex Maci Bookout — admitted that his son will likely “always worry a little bit,” he is trying to focus on the positive. (Ryan also shares Jagger, 6, and Stella, 4, with ex-wife Mackenzie Standifer.)

“At least I’m here,” Ryan continued. “I enjoy everybody getting along with everybody. It makes it so much easier and I know he enjoys it.”

During Thursday’s episode, Maci, 33, and her husband, Taylor McKinney, teamed up with Ryan and Amanda, 33, to help plan Bentley’s 16th birthday.

Although Maci previously butted heads with Ryan during the peak of his addiction, the former 16 and Pregnant star previously explained to Us how she was able to build a healthy coparenting relationship with her ex.

“I think it was two years ago when we were in LA and Ryan and I sat down with Coach B. I couldn’t tell you the last time before [then] that I had even spoken to Ryan,” Maci exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month. “Us basically just sitting down and committing to starting fresh, and I think that was the real [deal]. We haven’t taken a step backward since then, so that was the turning point.”

During a February 2023 episode of Teen Mom: Family Reunion, both Maci and Ryan agreed to put any past drama behind them and move forward in a positive way.

While Maci credited Dr. Cheyenne Bryant for her help, she also credited time for helping things improve.

“I think naturally on its own time, we’ve been able to build a solid foundation,” she explained. “Everything is going really well and I kind of feel like the audience deserves to see this.”

Teen Mom: The Next Chapter airs on MTV Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Kansas City Chiefs Will Not Hold Rally If They Win Super Bowl LIX: Report

The Kansas City Chiefs will not hold a rally if they defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Local outlet FOX4 reported on Thursday, January 30, that the Chiefs will not have a public celebration if they win the Super Bowl. Instead, the team plans on arranging a gathering at Arrowhead Stadium for the players, their families, Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe and Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.

The private event could potentially be broadcast on screens alongside the parade route. A celebration parade with the players will still occur, per the outlet. The proposed route will be limited compared to previous years in order to minimize crowd density. It will also include special experiences for fans.

On Thursday, city officials, law enforcement, hospitals, head of the sports commission Kathy Nelson and many others gathered to finalize the plan for the potential event.

Chiefs Players Reached Out to Children Hospitalized After Shooting 

Us Weekly has reached out to the Kansas City Chiefs for comment.

The decision for Kansas City to not hold a rally comes after a mass shooting took place following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl win last year. The Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers and celebrated the victory with a parade and rally in their hometown in February 2024.

After speeches made by players and other officials wrapped, police reported gunshots were fired “west of Union Station” and “multiple people were struck.” Twenty-three people were shot and one person died. Local DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was the sole casualty.

“We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today’s parade and rally,” the Chiefs said in an official statement in February 2024. “Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and all of Kansas City.”

Two adults and two juveniles were charged in connection to the shooting. The adult suspects were charged with second-degree murder.

Patrick Mahomes Addresses KC Chiefs Super Bowl Parade Shooting

Nearly one year after the tragic events, the Chiefs have found their way back to the Super Bowl where they’ll face off against the Eagles. The game will kick off on Sunday, February 9, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans. The Chiefs are looking to make NFL history by becoming the first team to win three back-to-back Super Bowl titles.

Earlier this week, quarterback Patrick Mahomes opened up about how “special” this season has been for him and his teammates.

“It’s just so hard to get to the Super Bowl and I don’t take it for granted, and to do it again at Arrowhead Stadium was special,” Mahomes told reporters after defeating the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship. “You get that trophy on that stage and you look around here and there’s not an empty seat. It’s special. I’ve always said it: It’s not about one guy. It’s not about a couple guys. It’s about the whole entire team.”

‘Scamanda’ Show’s Producer Explains How Amanda Riley Pulled Off Cancer Hoax

Scamanda Docuseries How Did Amanda Riley Pull Off Shocking Cancer Hoax Producer Explains All 318
ABC

After an unexpected scheduling delay this past fall, Scamanda, ABC’s four-part docuseries that takes on the most popular and talked-about podcast of 2023, finally premieres on Thursday, January 30.

The show brings to the screen the shocking true story of Amanda Riley, a charismatic wife and mom from an affluent Bay Area, California, community who elaborately faked a brutal, protracted cancer battle for money, in-kind gifts and sympathy from thousands of followers, including members of her megachurch.

Riley documented her supposed illness with photos and emotional passages on her personal blog, where she solicited donations in the form of cash and goods for medical treatment, gifts, trips, concerts, celebrity meet-and-greets (including one with LeAnn Rimes) and other perks. The blog would be her undoing: after investigative producer Nancy Moscatiello received an anonymous tip, she and authorities began poking at glaring holes in Riley’s story, and she was ultimately convicted of wire fraud in 2021. She’s now serving a five-year prison sentence.

But as listeners of the podcast and viewers of the show may notice, in retrospect, Riley’s scam seems a bit obvious, if not sloppy. In hospital photos we now know were staged, she appears glowing and healthy — not at all like someone undergoing chemotherapy or healing from surgery and other grueling cancer treatments. At one point on her blog, she claimed that an oncology doctor allowed her to self-administer clinical-trial chemo drugs at home in order to enjoy the holidays. When contacted, nationally renowned cancer centers where Riley said she was a patient had no records of her, the shows reveal. Similarly, charities that provided her money and/or services did not require documentation of her illness before paying her.

Why were so many people and institutions so easily fooled? “I don’t think she necessarily was your stereotype of a scam artist,” Charlie Webster, creator of the Scamanda podcast and a producer of the show, tells Us Weekly in an exclusive interview. “I don’t think these people were gullible or naive.”

ABC's ‘Scamanda' Series About Fake Cancer Scheme Delayed to 2025

“We don’t question people that have cancer and nor should we,” Webster says of Riley, who spoke of her alleged battle and spiritual faith to the congregation at her church, where during at least one service they threw literal cash at her feet. “She showed a miracle. She got cancer, but she was surviving. She’d collapse in church, wet herself in church, had an ambulance take her in church,” Webster recounts. “She stood on stage and offered people hope, which all of us in life need sometimes.”

“This was a woman in their community that was suffering that had two children. People rallied around to support her, and she was utterly convincing,” Webster adds. “Everything’s in hindsight. How would you have questioned that? You know you’d be the meanie, the horrible critical person in the back of the room.”

Charlie Webster ABC

Webster, whose conversation with Riley herself is teased for a later episode of the show, also has complex feelings about her real-life protagonist’s motivations for the scam. “I’m 100 percent convinced it wasn’t for the money,” Webster argues. “I think it was an addiction. I looked at everything from an emotional, psychological, evidential [perspective]. She realized that this attention came — if you look at social media now, so many people crave ‘likes.’ They give us an endorphin boost. I think it was that on steroids, 10 times more. Even though she did harm people emotionally and financially, in that moment of time she did help people and created hope for people. It was very much about this validation, about people adoring her. She had this amazing group of people that saw her as this anointed one. They really did.”

Why True Crime Is Getting the Hollywood Treatment

As for Riley’s psychology and mental health struggles, including the possibility that she exhibits the traits of a narcissist or someone with Munchausen syndrome? “A lot of people have questioned me on why I didn’t mention Munchausen or mental health in the podcast; it’s mentioned briefly in the documentary,” she says. “The reason why I didn’t mention it and why I have been quite persistent on not going down that route is because, one, I feel like it minimizes victims’ experiences, and two, she’s not been diagnosed with anything.”

Prosecutors Add 2 More Alleged Female Victims to Diddy’s Federal Indictment

Prosecutors Add 2 More Alleged Female Victims to Diddy’s Federal Indictment
Sean “Diddy” Combs George Pimentel/WireImage

Prosecutors have updated Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal indictment to include accounts from two additional alleged victims, Us Weekly can confirm.

On Thursday, January 30, prosecutors filed an expanded indictment against the music mogul, 55, in which two additional women alleged that they were “coerced into commercial sex acts and of dangling a woman over an apartment balcony.”

These new charges are part of the indictment against Diddy that was returned by a grand jury on Thursday, according to documents filed in Federal District Court in Manhattan.

Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told Us in a statement that the “latest indictment contains no new offenses.”

Diddy Indictment Unsealed as He's Charged With Sex Trafficking, Racketeering

“The prosecution’s theory remains flawed,” the lawyer alleged. “The government has added the ridiculous theory that two of Mr. Combs’ former girlfriends were not girlfriends at all but were prostitutes. Mr. Combs is as committed as ever to fighting these charges and winning at trial.”

Diddy was arrested in September 2024 and indicted on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. He is also facing more than 30 civil lawsuits from alleged victims of sexual assault and misconduct. Diddy has maintained his innocence while behind bars.

The new indictment, obtained by Us, does not add any additional charges to Diddy’s case, but it does add accounts from two alleged victims that could strengthen the prosecutors claims regarding the accusations of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Diddy Pleads Not Guilty Following Arrest and Unsealed Indictment

Instead of the initial “Victim-1” account — which closely resembles Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura’s previous lawsuit against Diddy — listed in the indictment there are now “Victim-2” and “Victim-3” accounts in the filing. (Cassie, 38, settled a lawsuit against her ex-boyfriend outside of court in fall 2023 after she accused him of sexual assault and battery. Diddy denied the allegations.)

Prosecutors accused Diddy in Thursday’s indictment of providing his alleged victims “with, among other things, monetary payments, career opportunities, and payment of rent and housing expenses” to keep them in line.

Diddy allegedly “used force, threats of force, and coercion, to cause victims, including but not limited to three female victims” to engage in commercial sex acts,” the filing claimed.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Sued by 3 More Alleged Sexual Assault Victims

Diddy’s lawyers, meanwhile, have claimed that the sexual encounters outlined in the court documents were consensual.

The indictment also extended the period of the alleged racketeering conspiracy back to 2004 instead of 2008.

Per the filing, Diddy’s employees and associates allegedly helped conceal violence and abuse and engage in sex trafficking, arson and multiple acts of kidnapping. The indictment lists a new allegation of kidnapping in New York where prosecutors claim that Diddy carried and displayed a firearm and a kidnapping in California.

The expanded indictment added allegations of distribution or the intent to distribute methamphetamine and psilocin, a hallucinogen. Prosecutors initially accused Diddy of several drug offenses, including distribution or intent to distribute cocaine, oxycodone and ketamine.

Diddy’s trial is set to begin in May.

Which ‘Selling Sunset’ Stars Does Heather Rae El Moussa Want on ‘Flip Off’?

Heather Rae El Moussa is onboard with her former Selling Sunset costars appearing on The Flip Off.

“I think any of them would love it,” El Moussa, 37, exclusively told Us Weekly during the Tuesday, January 28, press junket for The Flip Off. “I mean, they get to now see me in a completely different business. I was doing high end real estate and now I’m flipping houses. I think they’re so proud of me.”

On The Flip Off, Heather and her husband, Tarek El Moussa, go head to head with his ex-wife, Christina Haack, as they work on chosen properties and receive feedback from guest judges. Before the show aired, it was revealed that Heather Dubrow, Haack’s ex-husband Ant Anstead, Jeff Lewis and Heather’s former Selling Sunset costar Amanza Smith were scheduled to make appearances.

“It was fun for her to come in and see what I’m doing and what I’ve learned and the transformations that I’m doing with our flips,” Heather gushed of having Smith, 48, on the show. “She was so excited.”

As for other Selling Sunset costars, Heather suggested Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet and Chrishell Stause, who she said “all have such great eyes” and “know me so well.”

Haack, for her part, had a different former costar of Heather’s in mind. “I pitched Christine [Quinn],” Haack, 41, said, to which Tarek, 43, replied, “Oh, God.” (Heather exclusively told Us in September 2021 that she and Quinn had “not had a close friendship for over a year now.” Quinn, 36, left the Netflix show and the brokerage in April 2022.)

“You would be in big trouble,” Heather said, to which Haack admitted, “I don’t like her either!” Tarek added, “No, you don’t even know.”

Haack admitted that she handpicked judges “to mess” with Tarek. (In each episode, Haack alternates choosing judges with Heather and Tarek for their challenges.)

Tarek El Moussa on Working With Heather, Christina: 'How Did I Get Here?’

“I was like, ‘Oh, I know who I should pick. Oh, it’s perfect. I don’t like her either. Christine,’” Haack said. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God. Imagine the drama.’ I’m just trying to make good TV.”

Haack began laughing as Heather looked shocked by her admission. “Really, not for good ratings?” Haack asked with a laugh, to which Tarek replied, “God, no. I’d rather move to Mars.”

While Heather had a few hesitations about filming the show with Tarek’s ex-wife, she exclusively told Us in a cover story earlier this month that it wasn’t weird to work together. Haack, for her part, feels the same way. (Heather and Tarek tied the knot in 2021 and share son Tristan, 23 months.)

“There have been so many times throughout all of this that I’m like, ‘Wow, I can’t believe we did that,’” Haack said. “I’m proud of all of us.”

The Flip Off airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV.

Pilot of American Airlines Crash Was Getting Married This Fall, Dad Says

Sam Lilley, the pilot on the American Airlines flight that tragically crashed in Washington D.C., was going to achieve a major life milestone later this year.

Sam’s dad, Tim Lilley, took to social media on Thursday, January 30, to share a heartbreaking update about his son after news broke of the fatal incident. In the post, Tim revealed that Sam was engaged and gearing up to walk down the aisle in several months.

“I was so proud when Sam became a pilot. Now it hurts so bad I can’t even cry myself to sleep,” Tim wrote via Facebook. “I know I’ll see him again but my heart is breaking. He was doing great in his career and his personal life. He was engaged to get married in the fall.”

The message continued: “Sam was the First Officer on the flight that crashed in DC last night. It is so devastating to lose someone that is loved so much.”

U.S. Figure Skater Spencer Lane Shared a Photo Inside the Plane Before Crash

News broke on Wednesday, January 29, that an airplane crashed into a Black Hawk military helicopter near the Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, D.C. The plane fell into the Potomac River while attempting to land. According to local CBS outlet WUSA9, more than “300 emergency crews” arrived to conduct a search and rescue operation. More than a dozen bodies were recovered from the water by divers.

It was later confirmed that American Airlines Flight 5342 was the affected aircraft. The flight was arriving from Wichita, Kansas, and held 64 passengers in addition to the crew. There were no survivors in the crash, officials said Thursday, per ABC News.

Sam’s sister, Tiffany Gibson, told the outlet that the pilot flew the same path as their father, who had previously flown Black Hawk helicopters for the Army.

Figure Skaters Share Tributes After Fatal Potomac River Plane Crash

“We were stationed in Virginia, and [Timothy Lilley] flew that same route back and forth to the Pentagon, over and over and over again until he retired,” Gibson said.

She also paid tribute to her late brother.

“He was an amazing person. He loved people. He loved adventure. He loved traveling. He was excited. He was young,” she said. “He was so young, and he was excited about life and his future and getting a dog and a house and kids. And it’s just, this is just tragic.

Amongst the 64 late passengers, some of the travelers on the flight were members of the United States Figure Skating Team.

'Several' U.S. Figure Skating Team Members Involved in D.C. Plane Crash

“U.S. Figure Skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.” a statement from the organization read. “These athletes, coaches and family members were returning home from National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.”

Figure skater Spencer Lane shared a photo from the plane prior to takeoff.

“ICT -> DCA,” read the post — which are the codes for Wichita Dwight D. Eisenhower National Airport and Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Washington D.C. — via Lane’s Instagram Story on Wednesday.

Why Reese Witherspoon Says 1 Famous Actress ‘Doesn’t Talk’ to Her

Reese Witherspoon Says She Doesn t Talk to Famous Actress Who She Presented Award to 481

Reese Witherspoon is still embarrassed about the time she thought she was supposed to roast a friend at an awards show.

It turns out Witherspoon, 48, was only supposed to present an award to her, and the mix-up led to the end of their relationship.

“It literally haunts me,” she told People in an interview published on Thursday, January 30. “So this friend of mine, who I didn’t really know that well but she was a very serious, proper actress, she asked me to give her an award. But I had never been to this award ceremony, so I thought it was, like, a roast. So I got up and I roasted her.”

Witherspoon called the event “British,” “elegant” and “classy,” and she simply read the room wrong.

“I was like, ‘Remember the time we got laser hair removal?’” she recalled. “I’m still embarrassed about it.”

The Legally Blonde star didn’t name the actress in question but said the two no longer speak. Still, she was able to look back on the incident with a laugh.

“We’re not friends anymore. I’m not even kidding — we’re not friends anymore,” she said. “I think she doesn’t like me anymore. I thought it was so funny and it was just, I had the wrong audience. It was pretty bad. Yeah. Not even kidding, she doesn’t talk to me anymore. Oh well.”

Witherspoon’s mis-roast wasn’t the first time the actress has added humor to an awards ceremony. She also broke out an Australian accent when presenting the AFI Lifetime Achievement award to her Big Little Lies costar Nicole Kidman in 2024.

Though Witherspoon may still cringe at the incident with the unnamed actress, her revelation comes just one day after she appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where she admitted she goes out of her way to embarrass her three kids to ensure they grow up with a sense of humor.

Witherspoon is a mother of three, sharing daughter Ava, 25, and son Deacon, 21 with ex-husband Ryan Phillippe, and son Tennessee, 12, with ex-husband Jim Toth.

“I think you should embarrass them enough that they’re funny later in life,” she explained on the Wednesday, January 29, episode.

“They’re not children anymore. They’re adults,” she added, before joking, “Which is weird because I’m 30, you know? It’s weird, but sometimes it works that way.”

Fallon seemed to understand where Witherspoon was coming from, calling her “one of the coolest moms.”

“Your kids gotta be proud of you,” he said, “but also, you post things [online] that make you embarrassed. … I love that about you.”
