Yellowjackets fans aren’t the only ones frustrated with that shocking and “premature” onscreen death — so is the actress who played the crucial character.
During the Sunday, March 2, episode of Showtime’s Yellowjackets, Simone Kessell‘s run as adult Lottie came to an end when the character was found dead. The decision came as a (frustrating) surprise to viewers hoping to spend more time with Lottie and Kessell, 49, appeared to feel the same way.
“I was pretty brokenhearted, because it felt like it had come to an end just when I felt Lottie was coming into her own. I was excited that season 3 would take her somewhere interesting, and unfortunately, they just decided that story line was no longer,” Kessell told Variety on Friday, February 28, after the episode premiered on Paramount+. “I guess Lottie’s death then serves as an investigation for [Christina Ricci‘s] Misty to be Citizen Detective, and discover how Lottie passes, what happened — and everyone’s a suspect.”
“I don’t know what happened in that writers’ room, or whether they decided that they wanted to bring in a fresh character, or just have the three main girls. As an actor, you always think, ‘Was it something I did? Was it my performance? Could I have done it differently?’ she pondered. “I just felt it was premature because I wanted to see — and I know that the fans and the supporters of the show did too — where Lottie was going. So to have that just cut off didn’t feel good.”
According to Kessell, there won’t be too many more appearances from her, adding, “We do see what happened to Lottie in episode 10. We find out what happened to her, and how she died.”
The actress continued to subtly weigh in on the creative choice to remove adult Lottie from the season by interacting with comments from fans on Instagram.

“Your character had so much potential and story left to tell. I’m so sad we didn’t get to see you play it,” read a response that Kessell “liked” on social media after the episode. “I’m sorry these writers didn’t appreciate your commitment and talent enough to write a well developed story. You deserve better and I hope you find it. ”
Another comment supported by Kessell called Lottie’s death “one of the biggest failures in that writing room.”
“Unsure if the rest of the season is even redeemable. You were the true connection between the past & present. Incredible performance! That’s not a knock on any actor because everyone is doing amazing,” the reply continued. “The plot, however, what poor choice. My hope for the season has been washed away. Bummer.”
Kessell directly replied to a third reaction that read, “What an odd choise, very disappointing one…I don’t get it, make no sense. Hopefully lottie’s ghost will haunt writer’s room.” In response, Kessell sent back a laughing emoji.
“This is the season of mourning. In my opinion, there is a lot to lose this season and it’s definitely the most emotional season to me,” she exclusively told Us last month. “Just starting it off with us losing somebody so crucial to our story. It just doesn’t really get better from there, unfortunately. In a delicious way, this is a rough season to watch and it was a rough season to film.”
Yellowjackets is available to stream on Paramount+ Fridays and airs on Showtime Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.
The duo met in 2006 on the set of Legend’s “Stereo” music video. Though they parted ways after the shoot, Teigen told Cosmopolitan in June 2014 that they “hooked up” that night. Over the next year, the couple kept in touch, but Legend would often be seen on red carpets and at events with other women.
“I let him be himself for a while,” the Cravings cookbook author told Cosmopolitan. “The worst thing you can do is try to lock someone like that down early on, then have them think, ‘There’s so much more out there. I played it cool for a long time.’ Never once did I ask, ‘What are we?’ Marriage was never my goal because I’ve never been very traditional. I was just happy to be with him.”
Eventually, the pair tied the knot in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013.
They welcomed daughter Luna in April 2016 and son Miles in May 2018. After suffering a pregnancy loss in September 2020, Teigen announced in August 2022 that she is expecting another child. Daughter Esti Maxine was born in January 2023, five months before son Wren Alexander arrived via surrogate.

John Legend rang in his 29th birthday with girlfriend Chrissy Teigen on his arm at The Bank in the Bellagio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas on Jan. 5, 2008.
“I’m not going to lie. We hooked up,” the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model told Cosmopolitan in 2014, of how she and the “All of Me” crooner first met. “I was just happy to be with him.” Here, the pair stun at the NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles on Feb. 26, 2010.
It wasn’t love at first sight for the nine-time Grammy winner, he revealed in an interview with Los Angeles Confidential in November 2014. “I’m more cautious than that,” he said. “For me I’m the kind of person who needs to grow into that feeling.” Even so, he and Teigen looked so in love at a gala event in New York City on May 26, 2011.
“We’re by no means freaky-deaky, but let’s just say, we’re open to things,” Teigen once told Cosmopolitan of the famous duo’s sex life. “We’re very okay with PDA. When we got to a restaurant, he loves when I wear a dress, so he can do some upper-thigh rubbing.” Here, the pair goof off in a pool in July 2012.
What better way to ring in 28 than with a Super Mario-themed birthday party? Teigen dressed up as Princess Peach (with Legend donning a faux mustache as Mario) in West Hollywood on Nov. 26, 2013.
Teigen and Legend tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, on Sept. 14, 2013 — and the bride couldn’t resist a little goofing off, much to the amusement of the Grammy winner.
The red carpet-ready twosome made a splash at the MET Gala 2014 on May 5, 2014, with Teigen in a figure-hugging gray Ralph Lauren Collection gown that showed off plenty of side boob.
Legend received an honorary doctorate of music at the University of Pennsylvania on May 19, 2014, and a proud Teigen posted an Instagram of the moment. “My baby got another honorary doctorate! I have a bunch too I just don’t brag about all the time,” she joked.
Legend and Teigen were quite the sight to see as they dashed through lower Manhattan with their French bulldog Pippa in tow for a photo shoot on Dec. 1, 2014.
The couple, who often share snapshots from their nights in, frequently cook together (Teigen is the author of a cookbook), as in this Instagram shot from March 2015.
Teigen couldn’t help showing off her husband’s tooshie on social media during a trip to Florence, Italy, on July 7, 2015 — though the model did take care to strategically cover up parts of Legend’s bum with her knee.
Legend and Teigen looked thrilled at the 2015 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills on Feb. 22, 2015 — hours after the singer won an Oscar for his song “Glory” with rapper Common from the film Selma.
Teigen went sans underwear in a very risqué, sexy look at the MTV VMAs on Aug. 30, 2015 — and a Legend wore a dapper all-black ensemble to complement his leading lady.
The A-listers stepped out at the 88th Annual Academy Awards in February 2016. Teigen, who was pregnant with the couple’s first child, daughter Luna, at the time, stunned in a curve-hugging gown.
The loving couple welcomed their second child, son Miles, in May 2018. Teigen opened up about being a mother of two during a February 2019 interview with Good Housekeeping, saying: “The biggest difference between one kid and two is finding that balance in between giving that special quiet time to your baby, and then having that rambunctious playtime where you really have to be on your toes.”
When Legend became the first African-American man to earn EGOT status after winning a Primetime Emmy Award (to go along with his Grammys, Oscar and Tony wins) in September 2018, the Cravings author praised her spouse for being an “incredible man.”
Teigen and Legend shared the cover of Vanity Fair’s December 2019 issue with their daughter, Luna, and son, Miles. They spilled all in their joint interview, including sharing details on their love for one another. “I’m her biggest cheerleader. I always think she should do more,” the Voice coach said.
While trying to keep their kids busy in quarantine during the coronavirus pandemic, Teigen and Legend put on their fanciest frocks for a backyard tea party with their little ones.
During a candid interview on Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert" podcast in July, the "Green Light" crooner admitted that he had struggled with infidelity in the past. "I escaped ‘technically cheating’ by keeping my relationship ill-defined. But it was really cheating. I definitely was dishonest and selfish," he explained. "At a certain point, you just realize you’re happier being honest. ... You’re happier being faithful and being in love with one person."
The couple made a big announcement in the video for Legend's new song, "Wild," which dropped in August 2020 and confirmed that they were expecting their third child together.
In September 2020, Teigen confirmed the loss of the pair’s third child in a heartbreaking Instagram update. “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” she wrote. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions. It just wasn’t enough.”
The lifestyle guru continued, “We never decide on our babies’ names until the last possible moment after they’re born, just before we leave the hospital. But we, for some reason, had started to call this little guy in my belly Jack. So he will always be Jack to us. Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever.”
Teigen then dedicated a portion of her statement to address Jack, apologizing for the “first few moments” of his life coming with “so many complications, that we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive.” She added that they “will always love” him.
Legend later shared Teigen’s statement via Twitter, writing: “We love you, Jack 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤 🖤.”
Legend honored his wife's skills as a mom in a sweet Mother's Day post shared via Instagram in May 2021. "Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful wife! It’s been a year that tested you in so many ways but you’ve come through stronger, wiser, happier and a better mother than ever," he wrote, referring to the couple's loss of their son Jack in September 2020. "I’m so fortunate to have you as my partner, my inspiration and my best friend. I love you forever."
Following allegations that Teigen sent Michael Costello harmful messages and threatened his career in 2014, Legend shared another side of the story."Chrissy apologized for her public tweets, but after her apology, Mr Costello fabricated a DM exchange between them. This exchange was made up, completely fake, never happened," the singer tweeted in June 2021 after the fashion designer's claims went viral. “Honestly I don’t know why anyone would fake DMs to insert themselves in this narrative, but that’s what happened. I encourage everyone who breathlessly spread this lie to keep that same energy when they correct the record." Legend linked to a Business Insider report that questioned the fashion designer's accusations against Teigen, whose team alleged that Costello's screenshots "appear to be manipulated."
Teigen rocked a bright strapless gown at the Grammys in April 2022. Legend, who sported a velvet suit to the ceremony, told E! News that their two kids were also attending the awards show to watch his performance.
Teigen announced in August 2022 that the married couple are expecting another baby. "The last few years have been a blur of emotions to say the least, but joy has filled our home and hearts again,” she wrote via Instagram. “1 billion shots later, we have another on the way.”
The couple took Luna and Miles on an Italian getaway in August 2022. Teigen showed off her growing baby bump as the pair enjoyed the European lifestyle.
In September 2022, Legend released a music video for his single "Wonder Woman" featuring his pregnant wife and their two children.
"I married my wonder woman 9 years ago," the singer caption a subsequent Instagram post. "Happy anniversary, my love. You never cease to amaze me."
Teigen replied in the comments, "I could say the same about you. Happy anniversary to my absolute best friend and lover and partner in life. Thank you for being with me through all my mistakes, my ups and downs, my heartaches, for growing with me, for raising babies with me who are my proudest gifts. We have created the most wonderful life together and all I want to do for the rest of my life is watch you make the world better, feed people, bring people joy, make more babies and kiss on your old and gray face one day."
Legend opened up about how losing son Jack in 2020 brought him and Teigen even closer together. "We've been through enough together where it's really fortified us and made us stronger," he said on the "On Purpose With Jay Shetty" podcast in October 2022. "Those tests have made us grow together and realize things about each other that we didn't know. ... I think she's cooler now than I ever thought she was. I just really have seen her in all kinds of situations. I just value her more, and in awe of her more than I ever have been."
The songwriter said he's "seen so much growth through our grief," noting that their relationship feels "different" after their loss. "I've just learned so much about her personality, how she reacts to stress, how she reacts to life, how she can find a joke even in like the craziest, even in grief, she's able to find humor," he gushed. "I think you see so many things about your partner as you grow together and as you experience adversity together and what I've seen from her just made me love her more and value her more."
The pregnant cookbook author concealed her baby bump in a flowing pink gown with an off-the-shoulder neckline at President Joe Biden's first White House state dinner in December 2022. Legend escorted his wife in a dapper black suit.
"Merry Christmas!! I swear to god john your need to post good pictures before me is actually psychotic and it’s becoming worrisome how you never tell me and i find out from the group chat. see u in hell!!!!!" Teigen posted via Instagram alongside a photo with her family.
Legend confirmed during a private concert that Teigen gave birth to their newest little one, daughter Esti, on January 13, 2023, per social media footage. The Grammy winner told the crowd that while he "didn't get a lot of sleep," it was a "blessed day."
“We shower a lot together, not to get too graphic,” the “Bigger Love” crooner told The Cut in January 2023 of the secret to his flawless skin. Legend noted that their bath time ritual allows them more time to love and care for one another. “[Self-care] can mean you love yourself and you’re taking care of yourself, but it also means you’re passing those rituals down to your loved ones. [Bath time is] a way for us to bond with the kids and, um, show them how to take care of themselves.”
The twosome connected with a surrogacy agency in 2021 to help welcome another baby. Their gestational carrier, Alexandra, became pregnant one year later, shortly after Teigen found out she was expecting Esti. Son Wren Alexander joined the family on June 19.
Teigen and Legend gathered their family and friend in Italy in September 2022 for a vow renewal ceremony at the same location where they originally tied the knot.
Legend took to social media to celebrate Teigen turning another year older.
"Happy Birthday to my lover, best friend and partner in everything! I'm so grateful you were born,” Legend wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of his wife. “So happy that we found each other 17 years ago," So in love with you and the big, beautiful family we’ve built together. Let’s grow old and celebrate so many more birthdays together. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.”
Legend and Teigen took all four of their kids on a tropical family vacation to Thailand in April 2024. “Chrissy and I have been coming to Thailand together for 17 years now,” Legend captioned Instagram pics from their trip. “Loved bringing all our babies for Spring Break 🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭❤️🇹🇭.”
The couple, their kids and their four dogs were among the thousands of people who had to evacuate their California homes amid the January 2025 Los Angeles wildfires. Luckily, the family of six were able to return home before Esti’s second birthday later that month.
Shortly after the wildfires, Teigen announced the death of her and Legend’s dog Penny, who was born on the same day they tied the knot in 2013. “She loved nothing more than being loved, having her nub rubbed and destroying any ball she could get her paw on, even til her last weeks,” Teigen captioned snaps of her late pup via Instagram.
She added, “Never forget that while every pup is just a few chapters in your long life, for them you are their entire book, their entire lives. Oh penny. We were so beyond lucky to have you. Say hi to Puddy and Pippa for us. You are all together again.”

Rickie Fowler and wife Allison Stokke have a hole-in-one type of love after he slid into her DMs.
“I reached out to [Allison] on social media. It seemed like she was the kind of person that would fit with who I am,” the professional golfer toldRocket Mortgage in an April 2019 YouTube interview. “[She’s] very genuine, obviously beautiful and someone that I felt would be fun to be around.”
Fowler, long known in golf circles for his single status, debuted his romance with Stokke via Instagram in April 2017 after they were spotted together at the Moto GP Red Bull Grand Prix of the Americas.
“I won!” he captioned his social media snap, in which the twosome were all smiles in front of a step-and-repeat from the event.
Stokke, for her part, posted aselfie of the pair from their seats. “We tied?” she wrote at the time.
After one year of dating, Fowler proposed before the annual U.S. Open golf tournament. They wed in October 2019, holding a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Stokke announced three years later in June 2021 that she was pregnant with their first child. Daughter Maya was born in November 2021 — just in time for Thanksgiving. They welcomed their second daughter, Nellie, in August 2024.
Scroll below for Fowler and Stokke’s complete relationship timeline:
One month later, the twosome enjoyed some R&R at the Baker's Bay Ocean & Golf Club in the Bahamas. Fowler added a “Rick Found a Chick” hashtag to their vacation selfie, seemingly referring to his new romance with Stokke.
“@allisonstokke and I really enjoyed our time in Melbourne … one of my favorite places to play golf,” Fowler wrote via Instagram, sharing snaps from their outing at the President’s Cup. “Thanks @tigerwoods and the rest of the team for picking us to be here! I’m glad I could do my part.”
Fowler and Stokke welcomed their second daughter, Nellie.
“My Family!!” Fowler shared via Instagram alongside a photo of himself, Stokke and their two girls. “Right where I’m supposed to be🫶 Welcome to the crew Nellie.”
The 28-year-old actress shimmered in a silver gown paired with a black cape draped over her shoulders while walking the red carpet on Sunday, March 2, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills. Although she was solo for the night, Steinfeld’s engagement ring was secured on her left hand.
While inside the event, Steinfeld was spotted interacting with several stars, including Timothée Chalamet, Eiza González, Halle Bailey and Elle Fanning. Steinfeld was all smilesduring her chat with Bailey, 24, as they looked at something on the singer’s phone.
Steinfeld’s solo outing comes after she and Allen, 28, made their red carpet debut at the NFL Honors last month. The newly engaged couple held hands while posing for photos at the event in New Orleans on February 6. Allen took home the award for Most Valuable Player at the event and offered Steinfeld a sweet shoutout as she watched his speech from the crowd.
“Last but not least, my fiancée, Hailee,” Allen said, in part. “You’ve been my rock. You are my best friend [and] I would not be standing on this stage if it weren’t for you. So, with that being said, be good, do good, God bless and Go Bills.”

The couple, who have been together since 2023, got engaged late last year. Allen got down on one knee during a waterfront proposal in November 2024.
“I was very nervous. I think I was most nervous about you finding out about the proposal,” Allen told Steinfeld in a December 2024 issue of her “Beau Society” newsletter. “It was hard to keep secrets from you and have other people in your life keep secrets from you. Then, multiple times throughout the day a song would come on and I would tear up thinking about how special our day was going to be.”
Steinfeld has since revealed that she had no idea how the proposal was going to go down.
“You talk to your girlfriends about that, right, where you’re like, ‘I just don’t want to know,’” Steinfeld told Who What Wear last month, noting that she was “so grateful” for how he popped the question. “We were in Malibu, which is my happy place, and it was magical. That’s the word.”
However, sharing details about their impending wedding is off the table — for now at least.
“When you realize that so much is already out there in every other aspect of your life, you really learn to cherish the little that isn’t,” she explained. “It just makes things extra special, and it’s just for you.”
Every actor wants to be the next James Bond after Daniel Craig vacated the role — including Joe Alwyn.
During the 2025 Oscars on Sunday, March 2, Alwyn, 34, was asked by Variety if he was interested in playing James Bond, to which he replied, “Oh, wow. Who wouldn’t throw their hat in the ring? You know?”
Alwyn, who was at the Oscars to present and as part of the cast of The Brutalist, joked that he would take the role “if you’re offering!” When asked the pivotal Bond question — whether he liked martinis shaken or stirred — Alwyn replied,“I like both.”I do, I do.”
Craig, 57, said goodbye to 007 after the 2021 premiere of No Time to Die. The actor originally suited up for the character in 2006, appearing in five films as the British secret agent. Craig followed in the footsteps of Barry Nelson, Sean Connery, Bob Simmons, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan to portray Ian Fleming’s character.
Now the question becomes who is the next James Bond? Producers have remained tight-lipped about how soon someone else will be stepping into Craig’s shoes, with producer Barbara Broccoli saying no one is being considered until “the dust has settled” on Craig’s time with the franchise.

“I always say, you can only be in love with one person at a time,” Broccoli told Total Film in October 2020 when asked about Bond’s future. “Once [No Time to Die]’s come out, then some time will pass, and then we’ll have to get on to the business of the future. But for now, we just cannot think about anything beyond Daniel.”
The film producer shared some of the criteria that went into choosing their next leading man.

“James Bond can be of any color, but he is male,” she said in an interview with Variety in 2020. “I believe we should be creating new characters for women — strong female characters. I’m not particularly interested in taking a male character and having a woman play it. I think women are far more interesting than that.”
Craig has also shown his support for a woman taking on that specific role, telling Radio Times in September 2021, “The answer to that is very simple. There should simply be better parts for women and actors of color. Why should a woman play James Bond when there should be a part just as good as James Bond, but for a woman?”
In addition to Alwyn, actors such as Regé-Jean Page, Tom Hardy, Daniel Kaluuya, Sam Heughan, Idris Elba, Henry Cavill and more have weighed in on potentially being considered for the role in the future.
Every great wardrobe begins with beloved basics that will pair well with statement-making pieces — and we found a must-have. Whether you’re lounging around the house or in need of an extra outdoor layer, the Hanes EcoSmart Sweatshirt is the ultimate pick. The classic, pull-on crewneck has a five-star rating from over 114,000 people on Amazon alone, and to sweeten the deal, it’s currently on sale. While typically $18, the item is discounted to just $13 for a limited time, giving you the opportunity to stock up for springtime coziness.
While the Hanes sweatshirt is technically made in men’s sizing, women can certainly wear it, too. Shoppers can scoop up their usual size for a looser fit, size down for a tighter alternative or size up for something oversized that they can pair with leggings. The good news is that the piece is available in over two dozen colors and sizes small to 5XL, so whether you gravitate toward neutral black, timeless gray or a spring-ready pink or white, you’re bound to find a color you love.
When it comes to reviews, one common theme is how soft the Hanes sweatshirt feels. We’re not surprised — it’s made from 50% cotton and 50% polyester with fleece lining. The sweatshirt is also part of the EcoSmart Collection, and Hanes notes that these products keep the equivalent of nearly 50 million plastic bottles out of landfills each year.
“To my surprise, this sweatshirt was softer and thicker than I expected. I loved it so much I bought another! Great sweatshirt for the money!” wrote one five-star reviewer.
“I am a female and ordered this sweatshirt for myself,” another happy shopper shared. “I like the men’s because they fall longer and they are great to wear with leggings. This is my second one and I think I’ll order one in every color!”
This unisex Hanes sweatshirt is already wallet-friendly at $18, but since it’s on sale for $13 for a limited time, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to join the thousands of other satisfied buyers while the price is right. Whether you style it with jeans, pajamas or a flirty spring skirt, you’re bound to get some good use out of this forever-cute design this spring and beyond!
Andy Samberg and Joanna Newsom are notoriously private about their marriage — but fans still think the stars are couple goals.
The harp player was introduced to Samberg when he attended one of her shows in 2008 with fellow Saturday Night Live cast member Fred Armisen. “I was a big fan of his. In fact, the night that I met him … I had just been with my band backstage, like, an hour before, watching Just 2 Guyz,” Newsom recalled during a March 2016 appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers, referring to an old sketch the comedian had “a tiny part” in. “He plays Steve the c—. … So when I met him, he was kinda shy, and I said, ‘Oh, my God, you’re Steve the c—!’ He always says he saw heart bubbles.”
Seth Meyers joked that the story checked out, adding, “Everything I know about him, I know that is the dream way for a girl to greet him.”
Us Weekly broke the news in February 2013 that the duo got engaged after five years of dating. They tied the knot in California that September in front of a star-studded group of friends, from Lorne Michaels to Nick Kroll.
The pair’s romance remained low-key over the years, and Us confirmed in March 2017 that they quietly welcomed their first child. Fellow Lonely Island member Jorma Taccone revealed in February 2023 that Samberg and Newsom welcomed their second child one year prior.
Scroll down for a closer look at Samberg and Newsom’s love story:
Samberg and the Family Jams star tied the knot at the Post Ranch Inn in Big Sur, California, after five years together.
"Andy's speech was the perfect mix of comedy and sentiment," a source exclusively revealed after the ceremony. "Both he and Joanna were crying throughout the speech."
Newsom accompanied her husband to the 71st annual Golden Globes, where he won Best Actor in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for his work on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The sitcom also took home the trophy for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy.
"I remember being on tour, watching his old, pre-SNL stuff with my band, forwarding it to friends," the Portlandia alum told Rolling Stone, gushing that she was a big fan of Samberg "before I ever met him."
"It's been the best thing that's ever happened to me," Samberg gushed to The New York Times of becoming a dad. "It has surpassed every expectation I ever had. It's definitely been very blissful."
The "Easy" artist helped Samberg and the Palm Springs team map out the Hulu film's soundtrack. "When my wife, Joanna Newsom, read the script, she said, 'Do you know that song 'When the Morning Comes' by Hall and Oates?' And I was like, 'No, I haven't heard that one,'" the writer recalled to Consequence of Sound. "And I love Hall and Oates. So, she played it for me and I was like, 'Holy s--t.'"
Newsom made a brief appearance during the series finale of Brooklyn Nine-Nine, playing Caroline St. Jacques Renard, the associate principal cellist for the Berlin Philharmonic. Samberg's character calls her "some nerd" with "a giant violin," and she eventually refers to him as "the ugly one that made fun of my cello."
Taccone joked on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that Samberg’s expanding family was the reason fans didn’t see The Lonely Island in the 2022 movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. “We were supposed to do a cameo, like, as The Lonely Island, and it coincided with Andy having his second child,” he said at the time.

Adrien Brody was caught throwing something at his girlfriend, Georgina Chapman before taking home the award for Best Actor in Leading Role at the 2025 Oscars.
Upon being named the category’s winner at the Sunday, March 2, awards show for his role in The Brutalist, Brody, 51, shared a sweet hug and kiss with Chapman, 48, and celebrated with costars Felicity Jones and Guy Pearce and director Brady Corbet. As he started walking up the stage’s steps, Brody notably turned around, took his gum out of his mouth and tossed it to Chapman.
Chapman, for her part, ran closer to the stage in order to catch her boyfriend’s gum while he accepted one of the night’s biggest honors. (Brody previously won the Best Actor Oscar for his role in The Pianist in 2003.)
“If I may just humbly begin by giving thanks for the tremendous outpouring of love that I have felt from this world and every individual that has treated me with respect and appreciation,” Brody began in his acceptance speech, noting that his second Academy Award brings some “perspective” with it.
“No matter where you are in your career, no matter what you’ve accomplished, it can all go away,” he explained. “And I think what makes this night so special is the awareness of that and the gratitude that I have to still do the work that I love.”
Later in his speech, Brody revealed that Chapman’s children call him “Popsy” while giving them a special shout-out. Chapman shares her daughter India, 14, and son Dashiell, 11, with her ex-husband, disgraced movie producer Harvey Weinstein.

“I share this with my amazing partner, Georgina, who has not only reinvigorated my own self-worth, but my sense of value and my values,” Brody gushed. “And her beautiful children, Dash and India, I know it’s been a roller coaster but thank you for accepting me into your life. And Popsy’s coming home a winner.”
Brody and Chapman began dating in 2019, two years after Chapman filed for divorce from Weinstein, 72, amid his sexual assault scandal. The exes finalized their divorce in 2021.
Last month, a source exclusively told Us Weeklythat Brody and Chapman are “very happy and secure in their relationship,” adding, “She loves supporting him at awards shows. She’s so proud of his talent; his humor and talent were what drew her to him.”
The source went on to tell Us that Brody and Chapman’s friends “love them as a couple” and think they “make each other better people.” The insider also noted that Brody “truly worships Georgina, and she is so in love with him.”

In addition to sharing sweet PDA with Chapman at Sunday’s Oscars, Brody was spotted posing for a pic with his fellow Best Actor in a Leading Role nominees — Timothée Chalamet, Colman Domingo, Ralph Fiennes and Sebastian Stan — inside the awards ceremony.
Us also saw Chapman making her partner laugh at a bar inside the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, helping to ease Brody’s nerves before his big win. While Chapman’s drink of choice was white wine, Brody appeared to be drinking tequila on the rocks.
Chris Rock attends the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 2, 2025 in Beverly Hills, California.Stefanie Keenan/VF25/WireImage for Vanity Fair
Chris Rock is slowly returning to the Oscars festivities three years after Will Smith‘s infamous onscreen slap.
Rock, 60, attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party on Sunday, March 2, alongside his youngest daughter, Zahra. The comedian, who shares Zahra, 20, and Lola Simone Rock, 22, with ex-wife Malaak Compton-Rock, wore a black tuxedo and was all smiles while posing for photos at the star-studded event.
This is the first time Rock has appeared at the event since his hosting debut ended with Smith, 56, slapping him. Smith, for his part, remained absent from the party after previously being banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
In case you forgot, in March 2022, Smith shocked the audience when he slapped Rock following his joke about Jada Pinkett Smith‘s shaved head. Smith issued an apology for his “unacceptable and inexcusable” actions, writing via Instagram at the time, “I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris. I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
He continued: “I would also like to apologize to The Academy, the producers of the show, all the attendees and everyone watching around the world. I would like to apologize to the Williams Family and my King Richard Family. I deeply regret that my behavior has stained what has been an otherwise gorgeous journey for all of us.”
Smith addressed the situation again several months later in an emotional video on his YouTube channel. “I’ve spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuances and the complexities of what happened in that moment,” he explained in the July 2022 post. “I’m not gonna try to unpack all of that right now. But I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. There’s no part of me that thinks that’s the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insults.”
Despite trying to contact Rock, Smith wasn’t able to mend the situation.

“The message that came back is that he’s not ready to talk. And when he is, he will reach out,” he explained. “So I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk. … I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of s–t. I am deeply remorseful and I am trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself. Right? I’m human and I made a mistake.”
Smith clarified that his wife, 53, did not influence his decision to slap Rock, adding, “I made a choice on my own from my own experiences, from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do with it. I [didn’t apologize on stage after winning because I] was fogged out by that point. It’s all fuzzy.”
Rock, meanwhile, has usually only addressed the scandal during comedy specials or stand-up sets. “People asked me if it hurt,” Rock told the audience in his March 2023 comedy special Selective Outrage. “Yes, that s—t hurt! I got hit so hard, I heard ‘Summertime’ ringing in my ears.”
After the controversy died down, Pinkett Smith made headlines after revealing she and Smith had actually quietly separated in 2016.
“I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she told Today in October 2023.
When asked why the pair didn’t file for divorce, Pinkett Smith clarified that they weren’t “ready” to officially end their marriage. “[We’re] still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership, right, and in regards to how do we present that to people, you know?” she added. “And we hadn’t figured that out.”
Pinkett Smith and Smith, who share kids Jaden, 26, and Willow, 23, are attempting to address their issues. “We are working very hard at bringing our relationship together. Back to a life partnership,” she concluded. “We are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us. I have to be able to accept him for the human that he is. He accepts me for the human that I am, and we want to love each other there.”
The Mad Men alum had wife Anna Osceola by his side all night long but he posed with, well, everybody while inside the event, held on Sunday, March 2, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills.
Hosted by Vanity Fair editor-in-chief Radhika Jones, the event is traditionally an Academy Awards watch party for a few lucky invitees. After the ceremony comes to an end, the event transforms into an all-out bash featuring the biggest faces in Hollywood and seeing them interact is never not fascinating.
Keep scrolling for an inside look at this year’s Vanity Fair Oscars Party:
Poppa’s House is staging a reunion between Essence Atkins and her Half and Half costar Coby Bell — who is now playing her ex-husband.
In Us Weekly‘s exclusive sneak peek from the Monday, March 3, episode of CBS’ hit sitcom, Ivy (Atkins) is joined by Poppa (Damon Wayans Sr.) at a graduation celebration where they have a surprise run-in with her ex.
“You are a successful woman. What are you running for?” Poppa asked Ivy, who replied, “You don’t understand! When I see him, I just get all nervous and I start to stutter and turn back into that little naive girl.”
“Diamond Dave — he is an NFL champ!” Poppa says while visibly freaking out. It becomes Ivy’s turn to remind Poppa to “pull yourself together” in front of her ex.
The man from Ivy’s past might look familiar for fans of Atkins’ career. She previously shared the screen with Bell, 49, on Smart Guy before he joined her sitcom Half & Half, which aired on UPN from 2002 to 2006.

Half & Halffocused on the lives of two paternal half-sisters — Atkins’ Dee Dee and Rachel True’s Mona — in their early adulthood who were estranged throughout their childhood before finally developing a close relationship. Bell, for his part, played a firefighter who was originally set up on a date with Mona before falling for her mother (Telma Hopkins).
Atkins, 53, teased to Us about how her onscreen ex-husband would be a “nod” to her sitcom past. She also weighed in on whether Ivy and Poppa would get together any time soon after spending the entire first season setting up their electric chemistry.
“Initially, when we were beginning the series, we thought it would happen sooner. But I think that there’s something really beautiful about them becoming friends first and that they really grow in respect for one another and admiration for one another,” Atkins shared with Us earlier this month. “Also, in being able to see behind the curtain of one another, they have a little bit more trepidation and a little bit more caution about leaping forward.”
Atkins pointed out how Ivy and Poppa were becoming aware of their connection, adding, “He’s gaining an awareness of like, ‘Well, what do I get? It looks good, but what does the inspection report say when you buy a home?’ That’s wisdom, and I think that that leads to a much more satisfying take when it actually happens. It won’t feel so jumped or rushed.”
“These characters have earned this closeness. We’ve seen them grow on each other. We’ve seen them get on each other’s nerves,” she added. “I like the pace that we’re continuing at. As far as how long it will take, I don’t know. I definitely think that there will be moments this season where you’ll be rooting for it to happen.”
Poppa’s House airs on CBS Mondays at 8:30 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

The former couple were spotted together at the Searchlight Pictures Post-Oscars Celebration at Cipriani Beverly Hills on Sunday, March 2, following the 97th annual Academy Awards. Stone, 36, and Culkin, 42, shared a sweet hug as they chatted at the star-studded event.
Elsewhere at the bash, the twosome posed for a group pic with Culkin’s A Real Pain costar and director Jesse Eisenberg, among others.
Stone was joined by husband Dave McCary at the party. In a rare showing of PDA, the actress was photographed sitting on McCary’s lap. (At the Oscars, Stone had another ex in the room — Andrew Garfield — but it’s unclear in The Amazing Spider-Man costars interacted.)
Culkin, for his part, had the support of wife Jazz Charton as he celebrated his Best Supporting Actor victory. He clutched his trophy while planting a kiss on Charton’s cheek.

Culkin and Stone have crossed paths several times in the years since their brief romance, which began on the set of the 2009 movie Paper Man. The exes previously partied together at the 2022 Met Gala and reunited at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, where they both won trophies. (Stone took home Best Actress for her role in Poor Things, while Culkin earned Best Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Succession.)
The pair have also proven to be dynamic collaborators. Stone and her husband are both credited as producers on A Real Pain.
“She’s great,” Culkin gushed over Stone during a January 2024 interview with E! News. “She’s a really wonderful person.”

Culkin noted that he was glad to have Stone’s support behind the scenes on the project. “It’s nice because you go into a job and most of the time you don’t really know anybody. But in this case, going in, I’m like, ‘Oh, OK, well, at least that part’s taken care of,'” he continued. “I’m going into a situation where the producers are going to be great, and where the filmmaker will be nice, too. It was good.”
A Real Pain had an impressive awards season, with nominations at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, BAFTAs and the Oscars. Culkin’s performance earned him multiple wins, culminating with his first-ever Academy Award victory on Sunday.
As he took the stage to accept his trophy, Culkin gave an explicit shout-out to his former Succession costar Jeremy Strong, who was also nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
“Jeremy, you are amazing in The Apprentice. I love your work. It’s f—ing … f—, I cursed. I didn’t mean to. There we go, I cursed. I didn’t mean to,” Culkin said. “I’m not supposed to single anyone out, it’s favoritism. Anyway, but you were great.”
I love my wardrobe, but there’s one area that could use improvement. My outerwear collection lacks spice — especially when it comes to transitional pieces. While I’ve stocked up on winter jackets and lightweight cardigans, when it comes to those in-between weather days, I’m at a loss for what to wear. I even hired a stylist to help me out, and she immediately pulled up a recent photo of Lucy Hale rocking a boxy cropped brown jacket. One glance, and I knew I needed it.
After some sleuthing, I learned that Hale’s jacket is from Paige. . . and costs $400. I’m in my money-saving era, so I took to Amazon to find a similar style. Thankfully, I struck gold with Zeagoo Cropped Corduroy Shacket, which costs a fraction of the designer pick yet looks nearly identical. In fact, I find it to be a bit more stylish — and perfect for spring! — due to the corduroy fabric.
Corduroy is one of my favorite fabrics for spring because it feels substantial enough for those breezy days, yet is thin enough that I won’t overheat. The rich dark hue of this Zeagoo shacket also adds depth to any outfit. I like that it feels casual with jeans and a t-shirt (à la Lucy Hale), but it can also be thrown over a simple dress and heels to add a little pizzazz to your go-to date night look.
If the brown hue doesn’t speak to you, you can choose between 17 other colors, including the very springy baby pink or mint green. Overall, shoppers are major fans of the forest green colorway. “It has quickly become one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe,” one reviewer wrote. “The corduroy fabric adds a nice texture and warmth, perfect for transitioning between seasons. The fit is relaxed and slightly oversized, which gives it that trendy, effortless vibe. I love the cropped length, too — it’s flattering without being too short and pairs well with high-waisted jeans or skirts. The button-down design is classic, and the buttons themselves are sturdy, which adds to the overall quality of the jacket.”
However, even more than the stylish aesthetic, reviewers appreciate how comfortable the jacket is. “The corduroy is soft but still durable, and it doesn’t feel too heavy or stiff. It’s breathable enough for layering but still warm enough for cooler days. The stitching and details seem well done, and it feels like a jacket that will last for a long time with proper care.”
The bottom line: Zeagoo Cropped Corduroy Shacket will instantly zhuzh your outwear collection, upping your style game and helping you feel more comfortable in the process. That’s a win in my book!
Paris Hilton has hinted that someone as iconic, blonde and beautiful as she is will play her in the forthcoming TV adaptation of her memoir.
Speaking to Extra at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party on Sunday, March 2, at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, the 44-year-old heiress, reality star, singer, writer, DJ and entrepreneur — did we miss anything?! — also said that she’s delighted that Dakota and Elle Fanning have signed up to adapt Paris: The Memoir, alongside Euphoria production company A24.
“I am so excited to be producing this with Elle and Dakota,” said the star, wearing a sparkly Sophie Couture gown, dramatic sheer black gloves, some dazzling jewelry from Brilliant Earth and a pair of stunning and very affordable Aldo pumps. “They are so sweet. I love them so much. They are so, just, smart, beautiful, kind, lovely, so talented. We’re doing it with A24 as well, White Lotus and Euphoria and all the most amazing shows, so it’s very exciting.”
The star — who also joked that husband Carter Reum was dutifully carrying her stuff while she wowed the red carpet — said that she and the team have already cast someone to take on the coveted role of Hilton herself, but she’s keeping it a secret for now.
“I know, but it’s a surprise,” she teased. “I can’t tell.” She added with a laugh: “She’s blonde! She’s iconic, beautiful, she’s an incredible actress, and people are going to be blown away when they see this.”
Hilton also talked about how important her friendship with Nicole Richie is, and her joy at reuniting with her long-time bestie for the Simple Life reboot, Paris & Nicole: The Encore.
“Just being together, just every day, and then going back to Arkansas together and visiting the family we stayed with and just laughing,” she said. “When Nicole and I are together, I literally feel like I’m 12 years old again. It’s very rare, especially in this town, to have a lifelong friend.”
On the Oscars red carpet itself, Elle Fanning was also asked about the project with Hilton.
Speaking to E! outside the Dolby Theatre, she shared her excitement. “I can’t say much about it,” said the actress, 26. “But we have gotten to work really closely with Paris, which is just a dream come true to get to say that she’s become a friend. I was so obsessed with her when I was young.”
Elle added that she’s also happy to finally be collaborating with her big sister Dakota, 31. “That’s on the bucket list for us,” said the actress.
The couple did a quick change following the ceremony on Sunday, March 2, stepping out in matching black outfits at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills. Jenner, 27, sidled up to Chalamet, 29, in a slinky lace dress with a strapless neckline and corseted bodice. Chalamet, meanwhile, left his crisp white dress shirt slightly unbuttoned beneath a dark velvet jacket.
Jenner was also photographed with a handful of Chalamet’s costars from A Complete Unknown, including Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro.
A Complete Unknown was up for a total of eight awards at the Oscars on Sunday, with both Chalamet and Barbaro, 34, earning individual nominations for their respective performances as Bob Dylan and Joan Baez. The James Mangold–directed biopic was also in the running for Best Picture, losing to Sean Baker‘s Anora. (A Complete Unknown ultimately earned zero trophies.)
Despite losing his chance to become the youngest Best Actor winner in Academy Awards history — The Brutalist‘s Adrien Brody took home the win — Chalamet appeared in good spirits as he left the ceremony with Jenner. Exclusive video footage obtained by Us Weekly showed Chalamet holding on to Jenner’s hips as they walked out of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles.

Earlier in the night, the couple were spotted kissing after taking their seats inside the venue. Chalamet walked the red carpet solo in a bold yellow Givenchy suit before meeting up with Jenner, who looked glamorous in a black Miu Miu gown.
The twosome were seated in the front row, making them prime targets for Oscars host Conan O’Brien. “Timmy Chalamet is up for Best Actor tonight, you’re amazing and you look amazing. I love that suit. You will not get hit on your bike tonight,” the comedian teased in his monologue. “Safe! Amazing actor. Timothée is nominated for his portrayal of Bob Dylan, yeah. Bob Dylan wanted to be here tonight, but not that badly.”

O’Brien, 61, also took aim at Chalamet’s Dune: Part Two, which earned five nominations that night. “Guess what? I’m told [director Denis Villeneuve] banned smartphones on the set of Dune 2. Apparently, his actors kept Googling, ‘What is this movie about?'”
When the host quipped that he and Chalamet would “hang” after the ceremony, Chalamet jokingly turned down the offer by shaking his head. “That was a no,” O’Brien teased.
Jenner has supported Chalamet throughout his awards season run, previously joining him at the 2025 BAFTAs in London. The couple have been dating since 2023.
“Timothée is very focused on his career and Kylie loves being on the sidelines cheering him on,” a source exclusively told Us last month. “She loves that she’s in the spotlight more than her. It’s been a breath of fresh air.”
The pair’s big night out at the Oscars comes as Jenner mourns the loss of Jesus Guerrero, her friend and hairstylist. Ahead of the awards show, an insider told Us that Jenner is “beyond devastated” by Guerrero’s death at age 34 and “offered to pay for all of [his] funeral expenses.”
If there’s one brand I shop when I need some new pieces, it’s Abercrombie & Fitch. This all-American brand is a go-to for all ages (especially in recent years). When it comes to sourcing classic denim, figure-flattering dresses, tailored button-downs, cozy sweaters, workwear staples and other spring-inspired pieces, the iconic mall brand never disappoints.
While building out my spring capsule wardrobe, I found a bounty of options that exude effortless, classic style. These finds are also perfect for mixing and matching with my existing wardrobe favorites.
If you’re on the hunt for some high-quality, capsule collection-centric pieces that won’t go out of style after a single season, look no further than these 15 Abercrombie & Fitch picks that I’m adding to my cart before they sell out.

In a surreal interview with E! News Sunday, March 2, Ben Stiller gave his thoughts on the fractured friendship between Bravo reality stars Kyle Richards and Dorit Kemsley — while walking the red carpet on Hollywood’s biggest night.
Former BFFs Kyle and Dorit’s feud has been a major focal point of RHOBH season 14, which Stiller, 59, said he has been watching with his daughter, Ella, 22.
As the Zoolander star noted to E! News, Kyle and Dorit’s falling out comes as they are both going through marital separations. (Kyle announced her split from Mauricio Umansky in July 2023. Dorit and husband Paul “PK” Kemsleyconfirmed their separation in May 2024.)
“It just felt to me like they’re both going through this separation … so, why couldn’t they be there to support each other?” Stiller told the outlet, adding that he hopes Kyle, 56, and Dorit, 48, will be able to reconcile.
“I’m not totally caught up on two episodes because I watch with my daughter and we haven’t been together watching it,” the actor said. “But they came together the last episode I saw and I was like, ‘Alright, great! This is the way it should be because they should be there for each other.’”

Stiller recently outed himself as an unexpected RHOBH fan when he shared an X post on February 20 about the latest season. “Glad to see Dorit and Kyle finally bonding through common challenges,” he wrote.
After previous tension, Kyle and Dorit decided to put their drama aside and start “fresh and clean” with their friendship on the February 18 episode of the Bravo series — and also confided in each other about their respective splits.
“It feels like old times. We’re leaning on one another. I kind of missed it,” Dorit said in a confessional of her mended friendship with Kyle.
Stiller, for his part, briefly separated from wife Christine Taylor in 2017, but the pair found their way back to each other during the coronavirus pandemic. (Stiller and Taylor, 53, share daughter Ella and son Quinlin, 19.)
“I think we both wanted it,” Stiller said of his reconciliation with Taylor during a January appearance on The View. “In a relationship — we’ve been married for 25 years — you have to work at it. COVID happened and we all got in a house together with our family. I’m grateful. I’m so grateful we’re back together.”
While admitting that some exes shouldn’t rekindle because it’s “not the right thing,” Stiller said that “it was the right thing” for him and Taylor. “Now, every day that we’re together, we do not take for granted. I know I don’t,” he added. “Because you know it could go away. That, to me, is the gift [of] our relationship is that we have that every day. I’m so happy that we’re [back together].”

Elton John was a huge supporter of Chappell Roan before most people had even heard of her — and so it was only right that at his Oscar party on Sunday, March 2, the 77-year-old music legend got to perform with his favorite pop star.
Roan, 27, was the headline act at the 33rd Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards viewing party and, as well as performing songs from her album The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess to an enthusiastic audience, she collaborated with John for an adorable rendition of her hit “Pink Pony Club.”
While John, who retired from touring in 2023, spent much of the performance seated, he showed that he still has some dance moves in his repertoire and, in one super-cute moment, Roan placed the star’s pink cowboy hat back on his head when it slipped off.
Introducing Roan to the audience at the event in West Hollywood Park, John called Roan “one of the biggest stars in the world right now, quite rightly so,” and said he “freaked out” when he first discovered her.
“I immediately wanted to get her on the program, and she came on the program and I interviewed her and I fell in love with her and I fell in love with the album,” he said, per Billboard. “I’ve continued to be her friend hopefully and speak to her quite a lot.” He also praised how the star “not only speaks with her voice on stage, she speaks with her voice off stage in a candid and wonderful way” and then told her, “You’re the best, baby. I love you so much.”
At the glitzy annual event hosted by John and his partner, David Furnish, and this year cohosted by Jean Smart, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Roan also dueted with John on his ballad “Don’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me” and performed a cover version of his huge hit “Your Song,” which she dedicated to her parents, who were also in attendance.
“I’m gonna sing a song that is one of my favorite songs of all time,” she said. “I think it’s like, I don’t know, maybe the best song of all time. I dedicate it to my parents because they introduced me to Elton John, so I would not even be here were it not for them, and obviously, Elton, this is your song.” She later added: “Girl, it’s kind of scary singing it in front of the person who wrote it and sang it.”
An emotional Roan also thanked John for believing in her music. “He played it first, y’all,” she said, wiping away a tear and clutching the star’s hand. “And I’m so grateful that you would have me here. You have sacrificed so much for the queer community, and you made it so I could be the artist I could be.”
Previously, Furnish told Variety that John and Roan went back a long way. “He was about as early as an early adopter can be to her talent,” he said. “Subsequently, she’s become a dear friend to Elton and me. He keeps an eye on her and loves what she has achieved musically.”
