Scott Foley Is Still Obsessed With MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ After 2 Decades

Scott Foley has starred in some of TV’s best fictional dramas — but when it comes to his own entertainment, he and wife Marika Domińczyk are all about reality.

“Very little excites us more than a new season of [MTV’s] The Challenge!” Foley, 52, exclusively shares in Us Weekly’s latest What I’m Obsessed With series, on newsstands now. “We’ve been watching for 20 years and feel like we know each contestant, their fears and strengths and for us, it’s pure comfort.”

The Challenge, which premiered in 1998, is a reality competition show that started as a spinoff to two of MTV’s popular reality shows: The Real World and Road Rules. In the game, reality TV stars from both series compete in physical and mental challenges to win cash prizes. Since it premiered, The Challenge has become more successful, outlasting both of the original shows. There have been 40 seasons aired in addition to 12 spinoff seasons, and the show has filmed on six different continents.

While Foley enjoys snuggling up with his family and watching from his couch — he and Domińczyk share daughter Malina, 14, and sons Keller, 12, and Konra, 10 — he’s likely not preparing to sign up himself any time soon. But Foley’s own job takes him to plenty of exotic places, too. For his new film La Dolce Villa, the actor got to spend eight weeks in Italy — a huge selling point when it came to accepting the role.

“I read the script and was like, ‘Oh, there’s no way they’re gonna shoot this in Italy.’ And then, they said, ‘We’re gonna shoot it in Italy.’ And I thought, ‘Well, I kind of have to do it,’” Foley told Collider earlier this month. “It worked out really well. Italy, the country, and then these little towns we shot in, really was another character in this film, and it adds to the wanderlust of all this.”

The romantic comedy, which hit Netflix on February 13, stars Foley as Eric, a father who, after discovering that his daughter, Olivia (Maia Reficco), recently bought a crumbling Tuscan villa, rushes across the pond to try and talk her out of it. When he arrives, he realizes that there just might be beauty, romance and a new purpose waiting there for him as well.

“The relationships in this movie are really important,” Foley told Collider. “There’s the relationship with [his] daughter and overcoming the divide that has grown between us since the passing of my wife and her mom, and then being open to not just another love in another person, but really a whole new life for my character. To a certain degree, he’s leaving behind everything he had and starting anew. You’re getting to see the revitalization of this person and this character.”

Foley may prefer a little reality TV to unwind, but he still has Us pressing play on all his best leading man moments, from Felicity to Scandal, and now, to La Dolce Villa. Keep scrolling for a list of everything Foley is currently obsessing over right now:

‘Interstellar’

“I don’t know how I missed it when it initially came out but I’m obsessed,” the actor tells Us. “The idea that love can transcend basically anything really resonated with me. Everything from the concept to the acting to the production design is really stellar (see what I did there)!”

Foley noted that it’s Matthew McConaughey’s performance in particular that really makes the film memorable. “I also love a good heartbreak and watching McConaughey’s character [Cooper] choose to leave his family, choose to take on missions that extend the amount of time away from them … crushing.”

‘The Challenge’ and More Good TV

In addition to Foley’s Challenge obsession, he’s also a big fan of shows like Showtime’s  The Agency an espionage thriller starring Michael Fassbender.

‘The God of the Woods’

When it comes to his reading list, Liz Moore’s The God of the Woods lands in the top spot — “I flew through it, absolutely loved it,” he says — but Foley has more than just one recommendation.

“Right before that I downloaded this new nonfiction piece by, of all people, John Grisham,” he tells Us. “I’ve been a fan since The Firm but this book Framed, co-authored by Jim McCloskey — who is the founder of Centurion Ministries, which was the first organization in the world devoted to freeing the wrongly convicted — this book and the stories that they tell about those imprisoned for crimes they didn’t commit has really stuck with me.”

Zach Bryan

The Scandal alum knows he’s not alone when it comes to his music playlist. “I think I’m on the bus with this one … Zach Bryan seems to be a daily listen for me,” he confesses. “We sing his songs as a family in the car.”

He added that Bryan’s music also served an important role in a mournful family moment recently: “My wife even used his song ‘Pink Skies’ on an Instagram post she made when we had to put one of our dogs down last week. Hard not to cry whenever I listen to it now.”

The ‘Pivot’ Podcast

Foley, a self-proclaimed “big podcast consumer,” says he jumps back and forth “between industry news, politics and just fun listens.” Recently, however, there has been one show that he prefers most: “I’ve been learning into ‘Pivot,’” he said of the Kara Swisher and Scott Galloway-hosted podcast. “The cover topics I care about in a way that doesn’t make me feel like I’m in too deep.”

How Princess Beatrice’s Baby Will Be Raised Differently to Other Royals

It’s been four weeks since Princess Beatrice welcomed her second baby on January 22 — and Us Weekly has new insight into her upbringing.

Buckingham Palace announced on January 29 that Beatrice and her husband, Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, named their newborn daughter, Athena Elizabeth Rose Mapelli Mozzi..

The new baby is partially named after her great-grandmother Queen Elizabeth II. However, royal experts told Us Weekly that Athena’s upbringing is likely to be extremely different to the late monarch’s other descendants.

Hugo Vickers, a royal historian and biographer, told Us: “Athena will just be a member of the family. Otherwise she will have a completely non-royal upbringing.”

How Princess Beatrice’s Baby Girl Shifts Line of Succession

Vickers said Athena’s non-royal status is due to Princess Beatrice being a non-working royal. Though Beatrice is ninth in line to the throne, she lives a private life and does not usually take part in royal engagements on behalf of her uncle King Charles III.

Athena is the younger sister of Sienna, who was born in September 2021, and Christopher Woolf “Wooflie,” born in 2016. (Woolfie was born from Edoardo’s previous relationship with Dara Huang.)

Athena and her siblings will have more privacy than Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton’s eldest children, Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte 9, who “have as normal an education as possible but obviously they do take part in royal engagements,” Vickers said.

Jack Royston, a royal commentator and podcast host, told Us that Beatrice will have the opportunity “to choose how much fame and how much exposure she wants for her children.”

Unlike her sister, Princess Eugenie, who regularly posts photos of her two children on Instagram, Beatrice has so far been selective about what she shares when it comes to her own kids.

Beatrice and Eugenie’s children will, of course, also be known as the grandchildren of Prince Andrew, who celebrated his 65th birthday on Wednesday, February 19.

Princess Beatrice and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi's Relationship Timeline

Andrew stepped back from royal duties following his bombshell interview with Emily Maitlis for Newsnight in November 2019, where he opened up about his friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew was accused of sexual assault by a woman named Virginia Guiffre, who alleged that Epstein forced her to have sex with the prince when she was 17. Andrew has vehemently denied the accusations, and in February 2022 he settled Guiffre’s lawsuit for an undisclosed sum.

It was widely reported that Andrew walked his daughter down the aisle when Beatrice married Edoardo in July 2020. However, the prince was noticeably missing from family photos released by the palace.

“The greatest gift that Princess Beatrice can give her children is to offer them choice and control over the kind of life they want to live, whether private or public,” Royston said.

“For Prince George and his siblings, no one can stop them becoming global megastars. Fans will be hoping Prince William’s own childhood armed him with coping strategies that he can pass on,” he added.

Love Is Blind's Nick and Vanessa Lachey Defend Lauren's Pre-Show Hookup

It’s an understatement to say Love Is Blind season 8 star Dave Bettenburg is struggling with fiancée Lauren O’Brien’s past situationship — but does he have a right to be upset?

“I think everyone’s situation is different,” Vanessa Lachey exclusively told Us Weekly during an interview with her cohost and husband, Nick Lachey, when asked if there are rules for how long you should be single before the experiment. “It’s very important to not be seeing someone while you’re on the show — we’ve seen that play out or not play out so well. But there’s no right or wrong.”

David and Lauren left the pods engaged in the first drop of episodes on February 14. In the second installment, released on Friday, February 21, David begins to give Lauren a hard time for hooking up with someone — with whom he has mutual friends — in the months leading up to production.

“When you meet someone for the first time, and if you found out they just got out of a relationship, then you navigate that conflict,” Vanessa continued. “And [we’re] seeing how Lauren and David navigated that conflict, how what was important to him might not have been that important to her, or vice versa.”

Love Is Blind's Dave on Joke Backlash, Bringing Up His Sister So Much

Nick acknowledged that David “felt it was gonna be a little awkward running into people that he knew,” but added, “That’s part of life [and] it’s not a specific Love Is Blind issue.”

On the show, Lauren spoke to the Netflix cameras about her situationship.

“Dave was like, ‘Did you date anyone before coming on here?’ I go, ‘I was, like, talking to someone a couple of months ago, but I wouldn’t have said that I dated them,’ but Dave has mutual friends with him,” she explained. “I was giving [Dave] names and he’s like, ‘Oh, I know him. I see him at the pool all the time.’”

While Dave said he didn’t want the situation to affect their relationship after their post-pods trip to Honduras, he struggled to let it go.

'Love Is Blind' Hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey Attempt to Explain Dave

“How do you go from seeing someone so recently to like, ‘I’m ready for marriage?’” he asked. “That just seems like a huge step in between. … That’s tough.”

Upon returning to Minneapolis, Minnesota — which the cast has reiterated doesn’t have a large dating pool — Lauren’s friends tried to assure Dave that the pre-show romance wasn’t serious.

“We would’ve hung out with him if they were dating,” one pal argued.

'Love Is Blind' Season 8 Reunion to Have 1st Live 'Musical Performance'

Still, Dave does not appear to let it go, leaving Lauren feeling “helpless” at the end of the episodes.

The first nine episodes of Love Is Blind season 8 are currently streaming on Netflix. The next three episodes drop on Friday, February 28.

From Ariana Grande to Emma Stone: Celebs Are Ditching Their Stage Names

From Ariana Grande to Emma Stone Celebs Are Ditching Their Stage Names — and We re Here for It 075 Ariana Grande Emma Stone

What’s in a name? Apparently a lot for these Hollywood stars, who’ve been bidding adieu to their famous monikers.

For as long as most can remember, stage names have been a common practice in Hollywood. Judy Garland (born Frances Ethel Gumm) changed her moniker to appear more theatrical. Elton John (a.k.a. Reginald Kenneth Dwight) ditched his legal name in his 20s in hopes of standing out from the crowd. Katy Perry tweaked her surname (Katheryn Hudson) to avoid being confused with actress Kate Hudson. Even Reese Witherspoon opted to drop her first name, Laura Jeanne, in favor of her mother’s maiden name before she broke onto the scene.

But lately, we’ve seen a rise in mega-successful stars ditching the names that made them famous. On January 31, The Weeknd (a.k.a. Abel Tesfaye) released his album Hurry Up Tomorrow, which marked the end of his After Hours trilogy — and his pseudonym. “It’s a headspace I’ve gotta get into that I just don’t have any more desire for,” Tesfaye told Variety of ditching The Weeknd persona. “It becomes this rat race: more accolades, more success, more shows, more albums, more awards and more No. 1s. It never ends until you end it.”

In November 2024, Ariana Grande made headlines when her name appeared different in the credits of her Oscar-nominated film, Wicked: Ariana Grande-Butera. “You know, that was my name when I went to see the show when I was 10 years old,” she explained in February 2025 of her decision to go by her birth name to The Hollywood Reporter. “It felt like a really lovely way of honoring that.”

According to Gail Saltz, a clinical associate professor of psychiatry at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, a star’s decision to change their name can have deep meaning. “[It can] harken back to the time they had all these dreams and desires to be who they [later] became,” Saltz told Us Weekly, adding that “in this age of a lot of misinformation, there’s a desire for truth for many. Hence, I think some celebrities, particularly already having made it, want to be their true selves and recoup their birth name.”

Celebrities' Real Names: Emma Stone, Jonah Hill and More

 

That seems to ring true with Emma Stone. While attending the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, Stone — who began going by Emma (a nod to her fave Spice Girl!) early on in her career because there was already an “Emily Stone” in SAG-AFTRA — thanked a reporter who referred to her by her legal name, later explaining that she prefers to be called that. “I freaked out a couple of years ago. For some reason, I was like, ‘I can’t do it anymore. Just call me Emily,’” she recalled. “I would like to be Emily. … That would be so nice.”

Michael Keaton feels similarly. In the ’70s, Keaton was forced to choose his now-famous last name because his actual surname, Douglas, was taken by the Michael Douglas we all know and love. (“I was looking through — I can’t remember if it was a phone book… And I went, ‘Oh, that sounds reasonable,’” Keaton recently recalled of choosing his stage name.) However, in September, Keaton announced that he plans to start using a hybrid version of his legal name — Michael Keaton Douglas — on future projects.

Is this name game just a passing trend, or is it here to stay? Laura Burkemper, brand-building expert and CEO of Scaleblazer, believes this is just the beginning. “In an era of social media and greater accessibility, the need for manufactured identities has diminished,” she told Us. “Celebrities are increasingly using their real names to honor their roots, simplify their legacy and reflect modern values of transparency.”

Michael Keaton to Start Using His Real Last Name — Douglas

Of course, we’ll always be fans of stars with (sometimes kooky!) stage names — how can you not love Lady Gaga and Vin Diesel? But in a time where the world is becoming more authentic, there is something refreshing about being simply yourself — and we’re totally here for it.

Lily Collins and Husband Charlie McDowell's Family Album With Daughter Tove

Lily Collins and husband Charlie McDowell were over the moon after becoming parents in January 2025.

The couple, who tied the knot in September 2021, welcomed their first baby via surrogate three years into their marriage. “Welcome to the center of our world Tove Jane McDowell,” Collins and McDowell captioned a joint baby announcement via Instagram in January 2025.

That same day, McDowell responded to criticism about their “path to having a baby,” writing via Instagram, “It’s OK to not be an expert on surrogacy.”

He added, “It’s OK to not know why someone might need a surrogate to have a child. It’s OK to not know the motivations of a surrogate regardless of what you assume. And it’s OK to spend less time spewing hateful words into the world, especially in regard to a beautiful baby girl who has brought a lot of love into people’s lives.”

McDowell ended on a funny note, writing, “That’s all for now because she just pooped, and I need to change her diaper.”

“Words will never express our endless gratitude for our incredible surrogate and everyone who helped us along the way. We love you to the moon and back again …” the new parents captioned a photo of Tove in her bassinet.

McDowell embraced “dad mode” while sitting in a chair and playing with Tove days after her birth. “Love you so much ❤️,” Collins replied in the comments section.

“I truly can’t imagine feeling more love. Valentine’s Day (and every day) just got a whole lot sweeter,” Collins gushed via Instagram on her first holiday as a mom.

Jesus Guerrero, a celebrity hairstylist whose clients included Kylie Jenner, Katy Perry and Jennifer Lopez, among others, has died.

The death was confirmed on Saturday, February 22 by Guerrero’s sister Gris Guerrero, who set up a GoFundMe page following his passing. His cause of death was not stated.

“My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister,” she wrote in the description. “It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven. He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.”

Gris went on to share a little about Jesus’ life and achievements and wrote that his death was unexpected and his family are now working through the logistics of bringing him home to Texas from Los Angeles.

Katy Perry Calls Out ‘Rats’ Who Have 'Strong Feelings' About Her New Bob

“Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top. Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly,” she continued. “Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston. We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.”

At the time of publishing, the GoFundMe had raised more than $35,000 of its $60,000 target.

His friends and social media followers have flocked to his most recent Instagram post to send their condolences and express their sadness at the loss.

“Rest in peace Jesus 🤍🕊 I love you and all the joy you brought every time you graced me with your presence,” one person wrote. “You were so up lifting always and such a hype man in any situation. Your heart was pure. Fly high legend 🤍 I know for a fact you’re in heaven.”

Another added, “Always the sweetest & such a bright light taken too soon. rest in power 🤍

Kylie Jenner Channels Mom Kris With New Bob

During his career, Guerrero worked his magic on the locks of plenty of A-listers. In April last year, he appeared in a social media clip giving Katy Perry a spiky chop that featured strands poking out in contrasting directions.

“Thoughts, comments, concerns?” Perry captioned the post showing off her bob.

In 2020, Kylie Jenner publicly poked fun at Guerrero as she jokingly accused him of cutting her hair shorter than she expected.

Posting a black-and-white video right after the haircut with a towel still draped over her shoulders via Instagram, she wrote on the clip, “@jesushair said he was giving me a trim and cut off all my hair.”

Terry and Heather Dubrow have shared a brief update on Teddi Mellencamp after she underwent surgery to remove brain tumors.

Speaking to TMZ on Saturday, February 22, the couple shared that things were looking “positive” at the moment for the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum.

“Well, obviously any information about Teddi will be given out by her family but what we do know is that, we heard a little bit of good news today, which we’re really happy about and we’re sending all of our good wishes and thoughts to Teddi and her family,” Heather, 56, told the outlet.

While the couple didn’t share specifics about Mellencamp’s current condition, Terry echoed the sentiment that things are going as well as they can be, given the seriousness of the situation.

Edwin Arroyave Shares Update on Teddi Mellencamp’s Brain Tumor Surgery 

“What we do know is she’s extremely brave. And we heard that she’s turned the corner a bit,” Terry, 66, said, adding: “So it’s very… I think very positive right now. Things are definitely looking up, we understand.”

Mellencamp, 43, publicly revealed her health battle earlier this month, sharing via her Instagram that she was undergoing brain surgery after doctors found tumors.

“For the last several weeks I’ve been dealing with severe debilitating headaches,” Mellencamp, wrote on February 12. “Yesterday the pain was unbearable and required hospitalization.”

She explained that after getting a CT scan and an MRI, “Doctors found multiple tumors on my brain, which they believe have been growing for at least 6 months.”

In the post, Mellencamp added that two of the tumors were being removed in surgery that same day, while the others will be dealt with afterwards.

“The remaining smaller tumors will be dealt with via radiation at a later date,” Mellencamp wrote.

Mellencamp’s estranged husband Edwin Arroyave and their children have been by the reality TV star’s side throughout her health battle. (Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 after 13 years of marriage and they share kids Slate, 12, Cruz, 10 and Dove, 4. Mellencamp is also a stepmother to Arroyave’s eldest daughter Isabella from a previous relationship.)

Teddi Mellencamp Has Multiple Brain Tumors, Will Undergo Surgery

Arroyave, 47, has been posting several updates about Mellencamp’s health, including revealing that she is “beyond grateful” after undergoing brain tumor surgery.

“Our family is thankful to everybody for your continued prayers and well wishes,” Arroyave wrote via Instagram on Monday, February 17. “Teddi is beyond grateful for the outpouring of love while she continues to recover.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Shares Makeup-Free Selfie in Honor of 46th Birthday

Jennifer Love Hewitt is marking her 46th birthday by celebrating her natural beauty.

The actress reflected on ageing and self-love in a sentimental post alongside a makeup-free selfie she shared via her Instagram on Friday, February 21 to commemorate turning a year older.

“46 years old. No make up and no filter. (One of my besties hates a filter so this is for you ❤) It’s been a hard start to the year. I don’t quite feel myself. But yet I feel like maybe this is all to bring me closer to who I am meant to be,” she wrote in the caption.

Hewitt — who shares kids, Autumn, 11, Atticus, 9, and Aidan, 3, with husband Brian Hallisay — also made reference to her loved ones as she voiced her gratitude for the love surrounding her.

Jennifer Love Hewitt Reveals Her Experience With Ageism in Hollywood

“In this feeling of loss and being lost I have found a strange calm and letting go that doesn’t usually come easy to me,” she wrote. “I know that I have the greatest kids and husband ever. My brother’s hugs heal me. I feel my mom with me everyday. My friends make me want to be a better human daily.”

She continued: “I have all the things I really need and long truly for nothing other than joyful moments, continuing in the career I love, more time with friends, delicious food and to feel a shift to this year that brings clarity and hopefully the return of a little magic.”

Hewitt went on to state that society can be harsh towards women as their physical appearance inevitably changes as they get older, but countered it by explaining the benefits of ageing that she had also witnessed.

“I have experienced and seen how the world can be cruel to women as they age and yet seen the women I admire become happier, sexier and more powerful with every added number,” she wrote. “I am so deeply grateful for this life. I love all who choose to do it by my side and I am ready to give love today to the younger me and the older me because they are my ride or die’s. Sending love to all and cheers to 46! ❤

Jennifer Love Hewitt Went Through ‘A Lot No One Knew About’ in 2023

It’s not the first time Hewitt, who has graced screens since her 1990s, has been candid about her thoughts on ageing in Hollywood and the unrealistic expectations placed on women.

“I feel like fans pick this age that they love that they think represents you, and you’re never supposed to grow beyond that,” Hewitt told Fox New Digital in December 2024. “For me, it was like me and my 20s. People seem to have a really hard time accepting that I don’t look that way anymore.”

She added, “Age is age. I think women really come into this acceptance of themselves and comfortability in their 40s that is beautiful.”

Blue Jackets Fans Sing Happy Birthday to Johnny Gaudreau Jr. During Game

A crowd of Blue Jackets fans sang ‘happy birthday’ to Johnny Gaudreau Jr. in a touching moment in the wake of his father Johnny’s tragic death last year.

The Blue Jackets were facing off against the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, February 22 at Nationwide Arena, Columbus when fans were informed during a stoppage midway through the first period that Johnny Gaudreau Jr. was celebrating his first birthday.

The arena’s video board then showed Johnny’s widow, Meredith, holding up baby Johnny Jr.

After the crowd was asked to sing the traditional birthday song, fans sang in unison while Meredith held Johnny Jr. up to soak in the emotional moment.

Meredith Gaudreau Honors Late Husband Johnny: 'I Love You More Every Day’

Johnny, 31, was killed, along with his brother Matthew, 29, in August 2024 when they were struck and killed by a driver while riding bikes in Oldmans Township, New Jersey. The tragic incident occurred the night before their sister Katie’s wedding.

As well as wife Meredith and son Johnny Jr., Johnny was survived by his daughter Noa, 2. For his part, Matthew was survived by his wife Madeline, who later gave birth to their first child, a son named Tripp Matthew, in December 2024.

Following Johnny’s death, Meredith revealed she was nine weeks pregnant with the couple’s third child during September 2024 memorial service for the late brothers.

“We’re actually a family of five,” Meredith said at the September 9 , 2024 ceremony held at St. Mary Magdalen Parish outside Philadelphia. “I’m in my ninth week of pregnancy with our third baby. A total surprise, but again, John was beaming and so excited.”

Meredith added, “I was so nervous because this was, again, a total surprise. But his reaction was just immediately kissing me and hugging me even though I was driving the car. After the initial excitement sank in, every time he looked at me, he would say, ‘You’re nuts, you know that? Three kids?’”

During her speech, Meredith also vowed to keep her late husband’s legacy alive on the ice.

“John, I promise to have baby Johnny on skates soon and to be a dedicated hockey mom that drives any distance to all the tournaments,” she said. “I’ll wake up early for the games, even if that means baby Johnny shows up in Winnie the Pooh pajamas and sleeps on the bench, just like you did.”

A month later, Meredith posted a poignant tribute to her late partner, who she was married to just shy of three years prior to his death.

“John, we love you so much,” Meredith wrote via Instagram in October. “I grow more and more proud of you every single day, (I have since the day I met you) and it continues even though you are in heaven. Thank you for giving me our hockey family, our children and such a beautiful life as your wife.”

She continued: “You are and will always be my everything. I love you so much. I love you more every day. I always told you there are no words to describe my love for you. There just aren’t. ‘You know how much I love you, right?’ 🤍.”

The Stranger Things actress took to social media on Saturday, February 22, to share a series of happy snaps via her Instagram which showed her celebrations in Long Bay Beach in Turks and Caicos Islands.

Brown stunned in a bikini in a photo showing her relaxing in a hammock while reading a magazine as the ocean water glistened behind her.

Another photo featured Brown and her friends making sandcastles while yet another showed them on a boat checking out the marine life below.

Millie Bobby Brown Denies She Moved to a Farm ‘For the Aesthetic’

Brown simply captioned the post, “birthday magic ✨

The vacation destination is located between the Bahamas and the Dominican Republic and is a British Overseas Territory.

The islands are known for their surrounding turquoise blue water, pristine beaches, luxury resorts and array of activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, water sports, fishing and chartered boat rides.

Earlier this year, Brown clapped back at internet trolls who criticized her looks, claiming she appeared older than she is in reality.

“Women grow!!” she wrote in a since-expired Instagram story in January. “Not sorry about it :).”

Away from the bright lights of Hollywood and her acting career, the Enola Homes star has been embracing a more low-key lifestyle.

Brown and husband Jake Bongiovi, who she wed in May 2024, are living in on farm in Georgia, a lifestyle she’s wholeheartedly embracing.

“I’m not doing it for the aesthetic,” Brown told Vanity Fair in an interview published earlier this month. “I’m doing it because I love it.”

The actress admitted that she feels her happiest while on the farm, and regularly goes off the grid by rarely checking her phone and allowing others to handle her social media.

Brown added that she doesn’t subscribe to the “trad wife” trend — a concept that rejects being a modern feminist in favor of glorifying an old-fashioned lifestyle with a “traditional” housewife.

“There are maybe some trad wives out there doing it because it seems wholesome, but it is not,” Brown said. “If you’re not picking up horse sh— or washing a cow with your bare hands, then that life is not made for you. At all.”

Bongiovi, who is the son of musician Jon Bon Jovi and his wife, Dorothea Hurley, has also embraced farm life since tying the knot in May 2024 with Brown after two years of dating.

“We were pretty united going into it,” Brown said of Bongiovi. “We talked about our political views, what kind of family we want to build, the kind of home we want to live in, the kind of relationship we’re looking for, the kind of careers we want. It’s such an important decision, and we wanted to make sure we were making the right one. I knew I was. It always felt right with him.”

Jeopardy!’ Players Roger Craig and Julia Collins Are Married

Jeopardy! contestant Roger Craig has the show to thank for his marriage to former champion Julia Collins.

Craig told host Ken Jennings on the Friday, February 21, episode of Jeopardy! that the show was responsible for the pair’s happiness.

“At the All-Star Games, I reconnected with Julia Collins,” he said. “I first met her in New York about 10 years ago, and we’re married now.”

Jennings was ecstatic. “Wow, Jeopardy power couple! Congratulations!” he exclaimed.

Craig also said the relationship is “the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”

When asked why Collins wasn’t at the invitational tournament as well, Craig explained she wasn’t able to attend and go against him — yet. “We would love to,” he continued. “She would love to have been here, but the logistics just didn’t work out. So hopefully next time.”

Craig first appeared on the show in 2010. He set a single-day record of $77,000 on the second day of his running, besting Jenning’s own single-day record of $75,000. After seven days on the show he lost to Jelisa Castrodale, but ultimately earned $231,200.

Collins made her debut on Jeopardy! in 2014 and won over $400,000 during a 20-day run from April 21 to May 30 that year.

The headlines are definitely happier news for Jeopardy!. In November 2024, the show came under fire after contestant Heather Ryan answered a sexist clue. Ryan appeared on the October 28, 2024, episode of the show and was confronted with a clue in the “Complete the Rhyming Phrase…” category that read, “Men seldom make passes…”

Ken Jennings Apologizes for Sexist ‘Jeopardy!’ Clue: ‘Problematic’

Ryan completed the sentence, answering with “girls who wear glasses.”

Jennings immediately apologized to Ryan, who was wearing glasses. In an interview published in Binghamton University’s student newspaper on November 4, Ryan said the clue was “definitely an odd choice.”

“I think it made everybody in the audience and on stage, and Ken Jennings too, a little uncomfortable,” she said at the time. “It was like, ‘Oh, that was unexpected.’ Maybe we choose better rhyming phrases in 2024. Unfortunately, there are still girls who are [in] middle school and they don’t want to wear their glasses and they’re losing out on their education. So, I think it’s much better to be able to see than anything else.”

Ryan ultimately came in second during the game, losing by $1 to Ian Taylor, a food sales rep from Cleveland, Ohio. Despite the clue controversy, she assured the newspaper, “I had a great time. Everybody there was very welcoming.”

OnlyFans Star Lily Phillips Laughs Off Rumors She Faked Pregnancy

OnlyFans star Lily Philips is laughing off claims that her pregnancy is fake.

Philips, 23, was spotted out with friends in West Hollywood on Friday, February 21, per a video shared by TMZ, where she was asked about mounting online speculation that she is lying about her pregnancy. When asked by a photographer if the pregnancy was indeed fake, she said, “No.”

Philips, who was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder catsuit, and her friends got a good laugh out of the question. One of her companions responded to the photographer by saying, “She’s pregnant, leave her alone,” adding, “She’s having my baby,” which was met with giggles from the group.

The British influencer seemingly announced her pregnancy via Instagram on Tuesday, February 18, when she posted two photos, one of which featured Phillips cradling a rather large baby bump, while the second showed two positive pregnancy tests.

Lily Phillips Found a Condom 'Inside' Her Days After Sleeping With 101 Men

“The secret is out💗💙,” Phillips captioned her post. “Baby Phillips 2025.”

While social media users flocked to Philips’ comment section to speculate on the truth of the announcement, multiple U.K. outlets reported that Phillips’ pregnancy is not real. The Mirror reported on Thursday, February 20, that her pregnancy was part of a “role play” for “her job.” This news appeared to come from a source, though a separate outlet shared a similar quote, claiming it was a rep statement.

Philips made headlines last year after she slept with 100 men in one day, an experience she later detailed in a December 2024 YouTube documentary.

“It’s not for the weak. If I’m honest, it was hard. I don’t know if I’d recommend it,” she said at the time. “Just one in and one out, it feels intense.” Since then, Philips has shared her plans to be the first person to sleep with 1,000 people in 24 hours.

OnlyFans Star Bonnie Blue Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

The content creator has been open about the possibility of one day becoming a parent, speaking about the prospect as a guest on “The Shizzio Show” podcast last month.

“I would want children, but definitely later down the line,” she said in January. “I know with that comes a lot of backlash. I understand that. … I think when I started doing [OnlyFans], I didn’t want kids at the time, and so, it wasn’t a problem to me ‘cause I thought through all this.”

She added, “I knew if I started this I wouldn’t be able to get a normal job and it would affect my family’s life and my kids’ life and stuff like that. I think over the past year or two, I’ve started to get a little bit more broody and want kids.”

Philips noted, however, that she’s not worried about her future children learning about her OnlyFans career. “The thing is you can’t live for a future that hasn’t even happened yet,” she said, adding that she wasn’t “going to put my unborn child before my own needs.”

“I do get that my own kids will be scrutinized so much and … I’d like to think I’d do as much to protect my kids as possible,” she concluded.

Rihanna Says Fatherhood is the ‘Greatest Thing’ for A$AP Rocky

Rihanna Says Greatest Thing About ASAP Rocky Is Watching Him as a Dad
Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images

Rihanna loves gushing about her man.

In a sweeping interview with Harper’s Bazaar published on Saturday, February 22, the singer and entrepreneur admitted that the “greatest thing” about her partner A$AP Rocky is “is seeing him be a dad.”

The pair’s sons, RZA, 2, and Riot Rose, 1, seem to agree. “I’m annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,” she continued. “And I’m like, ‘Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?’ And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it’s the best.”

The duo, who finally connected romantically in 2019 after years of friendship, go way back. The family of four lives in New York City — something they both appreciate.

Rihanna Jokes Her Son RZA Has Her Forehead: ‘You Can’t Lose This Thing’

“We like to eat with people. We like to shop with people. We like to walk the streets with people,” Rihanna, 37, explained to the outlet. “I don’t like a private room. I don’t have them shut down stores. I don’t like the Rapunzel life. It’s very isolating. It’s very lonely. And what am I protecting myself from? I’m actually allowing people to dictate the robbery of the life that I could actually be living.”

Rihanna also spoke about her other babies: her massively successful businesses, including Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. She adds that she’s interested in expanding to home design and even wine at some point. (“We would want to have our own family vineyard.”) She said that part of her success is due to the fact that she’s “never underestimated my consumer.”

“I think a lot of people underestimate the consumer,” Rihanna added. “They think that they can maybe pull the wool over the consumer’s eyes and sell them what the ideal of beauty should be. And I don’t know if it’s the era of social media or just time, but people are not dumb.”

In the same interview, Rihanna also assured fans new music will be on the way… one day.

Rihanna's Rare Quotes About Motherhood Through the Years

“There’s no genre now. That’s why I waited. Every time, I was just like, ‘No, it’s not me. It’s not right. It’s not matching my growth. It’s not matching my evolution. I can’t do this. I can’t stand by this. I can’t perform this for a year on tour,” she explained.

“After a while, I looked at it, and I was like, this much time away from music needs to count for the next thing everyone hears. It has to count. It has to matter.”

“I have to show them the worth in the wait,” she added. “I cannot put up anything mediocre. After waiting eight years, you might as well just wait some more.”

Zachary Levi on Rumors Timothee Chalamet Will Star in Live-Action 'Tangled'

Zachary Levi Reacts to Rumors Timothee Chalamet Will Play Flynn Rider in 'Tangled' Live-Action Movie

Zachary Levi has some thoughts on whether or not Timothée Chalamet will play Flynn Rider in the live-action movie Tangled.

“Oh, I think he would be great,” Levi exclusively told Us Weekly of the rumored casting while attending the New York premiere of The Unbreakable Boy on Wednesday, February 19 at AMC Lincoln Square.

“I would totally sign off on Timothée,” he added.

Levi, 44, lent his voice to the 2010 animated film, alongside Mandy Moore’s Repunzel and Donna Murphy’s evil Mother Gothel. Levi went on to tell Us that he doesn’t know if the powers that be will “ever make a Tangled 2 movie.”

Zachary Levi Reveals Who He Wants as Flynn Rider in Live-Action ‘Tangled’

“We did a Tangled series,” he added, referring to the 2017 series Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure that featured the returning voices of both Moore and Levi. The series ran for two seasons.

In December 2024, Deadline and Variety reported that Disney’s 2010 Tangled was getting a live-action remake. According to the outlets, The Greatest Showman director Michael Gracey is in talks to direct.

Do Revenge and Thor: Love and Thunder writer Jennifer Kaaytin Robinson reportedly wrote the latest version of the Tangled script.

Revisiting his work on Tangled – whether via a live-action movie or simply a 2010 animated film re-watch — is certainly in Levi’s future, as he is preparing to become a father. In December 2024, Levi announced via Instagram that he and girlfriend Maggie Keating are expecting their first child together.

“I’ve wanted to be a dad since I was literally a kid,” Levi wrote at the time, alongside a picture of an ultrasound. “I’ve always felt that call on my life. This desire in my heart. A strange feeling of incompleteness by not having that level of love and responsibility in my journey. That the best years of my life would be on the other side of finally being a father. But deep down I knew that there were things in my life that needed to shift before I was ready for the blessing of something so special and the responsibilities that come with it.”

Zachary Levi and Girlfriend Maggie Keating Are Expecting First Baby

Levi went on to say that “last November” that aforementioned shift occurred, which he credited to “loving and valuing myself more.” He also praised his girlfriend Keating, calling her a “wonderful woman on the same journey of self discovery and love, ready to step into a new and amazing chapter of life with me.”

“We can’t wait for ya’ll to meet our little bambino,” he continued in the post’s caption. “We’re waiting until the birth to know the sex, but I’ll be stoked out of my mind either way. Keep ‘em original, but not TOO original. We don’t need them being bullied more than their theater-nerd father.”

When asked how his recent role in The Unbreakable Boy – a movie about a boy and his parents finding courage, joy and gratitude in a trying circumstance in which Levi stars alongside Jacob Laval – prepared him for impending fatherhood, the actor said that working with “anyone, be they a child or another adult, teaches you empathy.”

“It teaches you that there is another soul out there that is not you, that is living an entirely other existence and another life, and they’re doing their best,” he told Us. “And particularly with children, whether with children or adults, may we always walk more patiently. May we always walk in more kindness and more love. Jacob has this incredible energy that we all got infected by as he brought Austin to life. For us, we were so blessed to find somebody as talented because child actors, it’s tough. They haven’t had a lot of experience acting, so they’re coming with a lot of their own raw talents, and Jacob was wonderful.”

Salma Hayek Celebrates Stepdaughter Mathilde Pinault’s 24th Birthday

Salma Hayek is celebrating stepdaughter Mathilde Pinault on her birthday.

“Happy Birthday Tildie 🎂, Wishing you a year as bright, beautiful, and full of promise as you are,” Hayek, 58, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20, alongside several sweet photos of the actress and her stepdaughter, including a throwback photo from when Mathilde and daughter Valentina, 17, were children.

“So proud of the woman you’ve become!” Hayek’s heartfelt message continued. “We love you @mathildepinault ♥.”

Hayek and Mathilde stepped out together last year for the 60th annual Venice Biennale for the event’s Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio gala dinner in Italy. The stepmother-stepdaughter duo stunned in sparkling gowns, with Hayek donning a bright blue fitted number with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Meanwhile, Mathilde dazzled in a sparkling silver dress adorned with tassels.

Salma Hayek and Daughter Valentina's Best Moments Through the Years

Mathilde, 24, is the daughter of Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in 2009. Pinault was already a father of three by the time they met. Pinault shares Mathilde with ex wife Dorothée Lepère, along with son François, whom the pair welcomed in 1998. Pinault also shares a son Augustin, born in 2006, with model Linda Evangelista. Hayek and Pinault welcomed Valentina together in 2007.

“I had a child late in life,” Hayek said to Red magazine about being a mother in 2017, noting at the time that she “identified” with her character in the 2015 film Tale of Tales who had a “desperate desire to have a child and maybe feeling that you could never be happy or complete, that your life is not complete, without this.”

She continued, “I’ve had that yearning, that longing, and that pain… I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”

Hayek takes her role as a step mom seriously, previously gushing over her stepson Augustin for his 18th birthday in October 2024.

“Happy 18th bday Augie you’re officially a full grown up man who just became legal at least in Mexico and France,” she wrote, alongside several sweet family photos.

“Your gentle heart is like healing caress in our lives because you bring warmth and light to everyone around you,” her post continued. “Keep bringing the laughter and joy. We love you so much.”

When Kelsey Anderson and Joey Graziadei tie the knot, they plan to make sure her late mother will be honored.

“I think that maybe I would take, like, a piece of some type of clothing of hers that meant a lot and somehow incorporate it into something in our wedding,” Anderson, 26, said on the Friday, February 21, episode of the “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast. “I definitely want a piece of my mom in our wedding and I think that I’m a very sentimental person, so there’s a lot of ideas that I have [to incorporate] the people that went with us presently.”

Anderson got engaged to Graziadei, 29, during the Bachelor season 28 finale and are now in the midst of planning their big day. According to Anderson, her fiancé also wants to honor his late grandmother.

“She was very, very special to him,” Anderson said. “I’m trying to think of ways that we can still honor them because they were big people in our lives.”

Other than including special tributes, Anderson doesn’t have a ton of must-haves in mind when it comes to the ceremony.

“The only [thing] that Joey and I both have said is that we want it to just be a big party,” Anderson teased. “Like, after we say our vows we just want to have a big celebration. We want everyone on the dance floor [and] so I’m gonna find the perfect band, perfect DJ, whatever we choose.”

She added, “I’m pretty open, but I don’t think I want everything to be super traditional. I want it to just form to [what] we feel is right for us.”

Bachelor's Kelsey Anderson Thinks 'Orb' in Engagement Photos Was Late Mom

Kelsey is one of the daughters of Mark and Denise Anderson. Denise died in 2018 following a battle with breast cancer.

“My mom was somebody who was very positive and always found light in any situation, even whenever she was going through all these rounds of chemo and radiation and she was very sick,” Kelsey exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2024. “[My mom] initially got diagnosed because she found a lump in her armpit when she was doing a self-exam. She went in and she got it checked. They said it was fine. It wasn’t anything. She had this gut feeling and was like, ‘I just want it removed if it’s not supposed to be there.’ She ended up having stage three and stage four breast cancer.”

Kelsey has since become an advocate for early detection, telling Us that she’s previously undergone two lumpectomies that were “luckily” both benign.

Mark later went on The Golden Bachelorette in 2024 before meeting his current girlfriend, One Tree Hill alum Barbara Alyn Woods.

Lenny Kravitz Addresses His Decade-Long Single Status: ‘I’m Good on My Own’

Lenny Kravitz Has Been Single for 10 Years: ‘I’m Good on My Own’

He might be the object of many a heart’s desire (who could forget that workout photo?!), but Lenny Kravitz has been single for 10 years — and he’s happy that way.

“I’m good on my own. There’s nothing like a relationship with… You know,” Kravitz, 60, told The Times in an interview published Saturday, February 22. “But right now, I’m good where I am.”

Kravitz’s relationship history is a storied one — he was married to Lisa Bonet from 1987 to 1993, at which time the pair welcomed their daughter Zoe Kravitz in 1988. After the pair’s split, he went on to have a five-year relationship with Vanessa Paradis, and was at one point even engaged to Nicole Kidman.

In May 2024, Kravitz also said he’s chosen to remain celibate until he finds the right partner, something The Times noted he appeared to wave off in this interview.

Lenny Kravitz and Zoe Kravitz Prove Slaying Is in Their DNA at Academy Gala

He was much more willing to talk about daughter Zoe, 36, who hilariously noted that her father’s “relationship with the netted shirt is probably your longest one — and it works” when Kravitz received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in March 2024.

Kravitz hasn’t stopped wearing mesh shirts, either.

“So now people come up to me when I’m wearing [one]: ‘What did your daughter tell you?’ I’m like, ‘What?’ And I look down and I’m, like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a caricature of myself,’” he told the publication.

The singer and actor also shared where he likes to shop for furniture (Paris flea markets, something Paradis introduced him to in the 1990s) and clothes (“I have certain vintage dealers that I deal with. They curate things, they know what I like.”) before he revealed he has a fondness for the Netflix series Emily in Paris.

“I’ve seen the whole thing,” he said. “I love a bit of camp every now and again. I know the creator [Darren Star], who I met after I’d watched it. We were at a dinner in LA at a friend’s house. She said, ‘He does Emily in Paris.’ I was like ‘You do?’”

Lenny Kravitz Is Ready to 'Meet the Right Person' and Get Married

Though Kravitz might have been single for a decade, it doesn’t seem that it’s completely for lack of trying — but maybe for lack of following through. In November 2024, Real Housewives of Atlanta star Cynthia Bailey, 57, claimed Kravitz asked for her number, but never actually called her.

“He was really nice,” she said on the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast at the time. “He didn’t use my damn number.”

Perhaps it was for the best, Bailey continued, because she “didn’t feel any sparks” either way.

Lenny Kravitz Thought Daughter Zoe's Walk of Fame Speech Was 'Fabulous'

Everything Lenny Kravitz Has Said About Fatherhood and Raising Daughter Zoe

Lenny Kravitz is “Sittin’ on Top of the World” as a devoted father to daughter Zoë Kravitz.

Lenny and ex-wife Lisa Bonet welcomed their only child together in December 1988. The couple, who married one year earlier, ultimately split in 1993 but remained committed to coparenting Zoë. (Bonet also shares two younger children, daughter Lola and son Nakoa-Wolf, with ex-husband Jason Momoa, whom she split from in 2022.)

“What you see is what it is. We are one family,” Lenny said during an October 2020 interview on the“Carlos Watson Show” podcast. “Yes, we split back then [but we] worked it out because that is what you do. There was no choice in that matter [and] it’s a blessing. Been wonderful for Zoë to be able to see her parents like that. I forget that people don’t operate that way in so many cases.”

As Zoë grew up, she followed both her parents into Hollywood and made her own name as an actress. According to Lenny, she even tried to change her name professionally.

“I understood it,” he told Esquire in a November 2023 profile. “But I was like, ‘That’s your name.’”

Keep scrolling for the “American Woman” rockstar’s honest quotes about fatherhood through the years:

October 2010

“It makes it kind of impossible,” Lenny joked about dating as a single parent during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “[Zoë is] extremely critical. I thought I was the dad and I had to screen the boyfriends, but it’s kind of the other way around.”

June 2019

Lenny gushed to People that he’s learned about “love, respect, and hard work, honor, and discipline” since becoming a dad before theorizing what it will be like to watch Zoë get married.

“When that happens it’ll be a trip and emotional for all the reasons anybody would understand, but also because that’s the one thing my mother [Roxie Roker] talked about before she died that she wanted to live long enough to see her granddaughter get married,” he said of his mother, who died of breast cancer in 1995. “When my mother passed, [Zoë] was young. She remembers her and has really fond memories, but it didn’t get to the point where they’d get into deep conversation.”

Zoë got engaged to Karl Glusman in 2018, and they wed the following year. They split in 2021 after 18 months of marriage.

October 2020

Lenny revealed to Access Hollywood that parenting “came naturally to [him].”

“I knew what I didn’t want to be,” he said before referencing his estranged relationship with father Sy Kravitz. “Because our relationship was what it was, that’s fine. What I got to see was what a great grandfather he was. So, I got to see that and experience that and my daughter got to experience that.”

Lenny also discussed watching Zoë grow up in the shadow of famous parents. “What’s great about her is that she’s always been her own person,” he added. “She didn’t want people judging her and seeing her in a certain way because of who her parents were, and that’s wonderful because a lot of kids like to use that for the attention.”

November 2020

“People can’t believe how tight Jason and I are, or how tight I still am with Zoë’s mom, how we all relate. We just do it because that’s what you do,” he told Men’s Health of his blended family. “You let love rule, right? I mean, obviously, after a breakup, it’s work — it takes some work and time, healing and reflection.”

Lenny hinted to Extra about the possibility of making music with Zoë.

“You know, that’s something I always thought about,” he explained. “The right thing at the right time [but] I’d love to work with my daughter one day on something just because I think she’s great. If she wasn’t my daughter, I would still feel the same way about her.”

Zoë also has musical talents, even helping pal Taylor Swift write songs for 2022’s Midnights.

“I wouldn’t think of it as this heroic feat. This is just normal to me,” he told Esquire about coparenting, going on to reveal if he wants to have more kids. “I could not, and I could. If it doesn’t happen, I’ve done the best with Zoë that I could ever dream to do. If I was with somebody that wanted to have kids, absolutely. A hundred percent.”

January 2024

Us confirmed in 2023 that Zoë had gotten engaged to actor Channing Tatum after two years of dating. (News broke in October 2024 that the pair ended their engagement.)

“Hey man, that’s life. When your family is happy, when your child is happy, that’s it,” Lenny gushed to Entertainment Tonight. “I’ve done well. Blessed.”

During an interview with The Times of London, Lenny stressed, “I love being her father” before approving her remarks during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. (When Lenny received his star in March 2024, Zoë roasted his penchant for sheer, nipple-baring tops.)

“Oh, wasn’t that fabulous?” Lenny recalled to the outlet. “You see, that’s what your daughter’s supposed to do. That is absolutely exactly what your daughter is supposed to do, and she told the truth. She’s dry, but she told the truth.”

Elsewhere in the profile, Lenny addressed the possibility of becoming a grandfather. (Zoë, however, has previously been candid about her indecision in having children.)

“Of course. If it happens. Yeah, if it happens. It feels weird, just hearing the word,” he said. “Probably, because I still feel like a kid. I honestly still feel like a kid.”
