Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s Daughter, 3, Says Her Favorite Food Is Worms

Alec Baldwin and Hilaria Baldwin‘s daughter María Lucía Victoria enjoys some obvious favorite foods, such as pizza, and some not so predictable delicacies — including worms.

During the Sunday, March 16, episode of TLC’s The Baldwins, Alec, 66, and Hilaria’s eldest daughter, Carmen, 11, asked her younger siblings what their favorite foods were. María Lucía Victoria, now 4, gleefully mentioned worms, which concerned Carmen.

“Wait. Mom, are they actually eating worms?” she asked Hilaria, 41, who replied, “No. This is just being 3.”

María Lucía didn’t agree, though. She assured her mother that she does “eat worms” before her brother Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, now 4, mentioned gummy worms as his favorite food. The siblings also agreed that pizza was an important meal in their household.

Elsewhere in the episode, Hilaria candidly discussed the ups and downs she faced when expanding her and Alec’s family. The couple, who have been married since 2012, share seven kids: Carmen Gabriela, Rafael Thomas, 9, Leonardo Ángel Charles, 8, Romeo Alejandro David, 6, Eduardo “Edu” Pao Lucas, María Lucía Victoria and Ilaria Catalina Irena, 2.

Alec also shares daughter Ireland Baldwin with his ex-wife Kim Basinger. A preview for next week’s episode showed Ireland, 29, making her debut in the series when sitting down for lunch with Hilaria. Earlier in the season, Alec admitted he wasn’t always on the best of terms with Ireland.

“My relationship with my daughter Ireland was so negatively impacted by my divorce with her mother — and having a very protracted custody battle,” Baldwin recalled on an episode earlier this month. “The financials were probably a year and a half and everything else was custody. It was just insanity and really tough.”

Baldwin issued an apology to Ireland (who is now a mom herself to daughter Holland, 22 months), adding, “One of my most regrettable things was how it affected Ireland. But she is grown and is 29 years old. I have a good relationship with her and she loves the kids [I share with Hilaria]. She is sweet to them and is their older sister, but she isn’t in that pack.”

Alec continued: “This is why I am so focused on [my daughter] Carmen and I want to have a good relationship with her. Because I have a girl all over again.”

While Hilaria and Alec haven’t held back on the show, more recently the couple admitted they didn’t know what they were signing up for with The Baldwins.

“I think we didn’t think it through very much, which I look back now and I’m thinking, ‘What were we thinking?’ But at the same time, I’m so glad that we did it because it is so raw and it is so true and it was a very vulnerable time,” she exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, March 12. “It’s interesting to look back and even though it’s not that long ago, it really was a diary of how we were coping and moving forward. I’m very grateful that we did it and we were so lucky with the people that we did it with, and I don’t say that lightly.”

Alec, meanwhile, joked that he “didn’t make any decisions” during season 1. “I didn’t have any input at all,” he quipped. “My wife and Sara [Reddy] just shoved me around all day long for months.”

Hilaria Baldwin Had to Learn About Code Switching After Accent Controversy

Hilaria Baldwin learned a lot from her fake accent controversy — including terms such as code switching.

During the Sunday, March 16, episode of TLC’s The Baldwins, Hilaria, 41, had a candid conversation with her 11-year-old daughter Carmen’s friend about how she had to adapt her Spanish accent based on who she was around.

“Growing up in a way where you have multiple cultural influences on you means that you are never going to be able to fit in. You can try — you can chameleon,” Hilaria explained. “People who code switch, we are very good at being a chameleon. You are not even thinking about it because it is just normal [to you].”

Hilaria introduced the term “code switching” to the young girl, who was British while living in the U.S, adding, “It is a real thing. I had to learn about it because the whole world was mean to me.”

She continued: “Being in the spotlight, people ask if I get used to it. No. You never get used to people being mean. But you take a deep breath and you learn to distance yourself from it. You just try to turn down the volume of it. I am not going to take it personally.”

In December 2020, Hilaria made headlines when social media users accused her of fabricating her comments about her Spanish heritage since she was born as Hilary in Boston, Massachusetts. Hilaria released a video amid the controversy where she addressed her relationship with her Spanish roots.

“I’ve seen chatter online questioning my identity and culture. This is something I take very seriously, and for those who are asking — I’ll reiterate my story, as I’ve done many times before,” she captioned an Instagram post alongside a since-deleted video. “I was born in Boston and grew up spending time with my family between Massachusetts and Spain. My parents and sibling live in Spain and I chose to live here, in the U.S.A.”

Hilaria offered more details in a February 2021 statement, writing, “I’ve spent the last month listening, reflecting, and asking myself how I can learn and grow. My parents raised my brother and me with two cultures, American and Spanish, and I feel a true sense of belonging to both. The way I’ve spoken about myself and my deep connection to two cultures could have been better explained — I should have been more clear and I’m sorry.”

She continued: “I’m proud of the way I was raised, and we’re raising our children to share the same love and respect for both. Being vulnerable and pushing ourselves to learn and grow is what we’ve built our community on, and I hope to get back to the supportive and kind environment we’ve built together.”

TLC’s The Baldwins provided Hilaria with more of a platform to discuss the drama. During the premiere last month, Hilaria’s husband, Alec Baldwin, said he “can’t understand” some of what she says.

“Let’s talk slower. You are speaking English in a Spanish cadence which is always perilous for me,” he noted. “Just slow down a kiss, I can’t understand you.”

Hilaria used the opportunity to elaborate on her identity.

“I’m raising my kids to be bilingual, I was raised bilingual,” she explained in a confessional. “My family — all my nuclear family — now lives over in Spain. I want to teach my kids pride in speaking more than one language. I think just growing up and speaking two languages is extremely special.”

Hilaria specifically called out critics who made her feel bad, saying, “It was my family, my friends, my community who speak multiple languages, who have belonged in multiple places and realize that we are a mix of all these different things and that’s going to have an impact on how we sound and an impact on how we articulate things and the words that we choose and our mannerisms. That’s normal. That’s called being human.”

Leslie Bibb's Husband Sam Rockwell Makes Sex-Related 'White Lotus' Cameo

The White Lotus featured a surprise appearance from Leslie Bibb‘s husband, Sam Rockwell, and his shocking story line included everything from gender identity to sexual experimentation and addiction.

During the Sunday, March 16, episode of The White Lotus, Rick (Walton Goggins) traveled to Bangkok, Thailand, to reunite with a friend played by Rockwell. Rick expected a wild night out but instead his pal revealed he had been sober for nearly a year.

“I found religion,” Rockwell’s character shared. “I took the partying thing as far as it could go. I am sorry to disappoint you.”

Rick’s surprise caused his friend to expand on his personal growth.

'The White Lotus' Season 3 Star-Studded Cast: Where You Know Them From

“I moved here [and] picked Thailand because I always had a thing for Asian girls. When I got here, I was like a kid in a candy store. I had money, no attachments and nothing to do so I was partying. It got wild and I was picking up girls every night,” Rockwell’s character explained. “It was always different ones: petite ones, chubby ones, older ones and sometimes multiple ladies a night.”

Rick’s pal recalled being “out of control,” adding, “I became insatiable. After about a thousand nights like that, you start to lose it. I started to wonder why did I have this need to f— all these women? What is desire? The form of this cute Asian girl, why does it have such a grip on me? Because she’s the opposite of me is she going to complete me in some way?”

While questioning his sexuality, Rockwell’s character decided to try something new.

“I realized that I could f— a million women but I would still never be satisfied. Maybe what I really wanted is to be one of these Asian girls,” he said. “One night I took home some girl who turned out to be a lady boy, which I had done before but this time instead of f–king the lady boy, the lady boy f—ed me.”

Rick was shocked at how his friend described his sexual escapades.

“It was kind of magical. And I got into my head that what I really wanted was to be one of these Asian girls getting f—ed by me and to feel that,” Rockwell admitted. “So I put out an ad looking for a white guy who is my age to come over and f— me. Then I put on some lingerie and perfume so I could look like one of these girls. I thought I looked pretty hot. Then the guy came over and railed the s— out of me.”

‘The White Lotus’ Cast's Most Candid Quotes About the Show's Steamiest Scenes

He continued: “I got addicted to that — sometimes three or four guys would come over and rail the s–t out of me. Some I even had to pay. And at the same time I would hire an Asian girl to just sit there and watch the whole thing. I would look her in the eyes while some guy was f—ing me and I would think, ‘I am her. And I am f—ing me.'”

Before getting sober, Rockwell’s character explored his relationship with his identity. “Sex is a poetic act. It is a metaphor but metaphor for what?” he noted. “Am I a middle aged white guy on the inside too? Or, inside could I be an Asian girl? Guess I was trying to f–k my way to an answer. Then I realized I got to stop. The drugs, the girls, the trying to be a girl.”

It was Buddhism that ultimately changed Rick’s friend. “[It] all about spirit vs. form and detaching from yourself,” Rockwell concluded. “Being sober isn’t so hard. Being celibate, I still miss that.”

The conversation ended with Rick trying to show support. He later asked his acquaintance to keep the next night free in case Rick needed his help. Viewers might remember that Rick told his girlfriend, Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood), that he came to Thailand to get revenge for his father, which is likely where his story line is going next.

Meanwhile elsewhere in the episode, Chelsea enjoyed a night out with Chloe (Charlotte Le Bon) and brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola). The confusing tension between the Ratliff siblings only got more ridiculous when they shared a kiss during their drunken adventures.

Their parents, however, were having a more difficult night after Piper (Sarah Catherine Hook) revealed she planned to stay in Thailand. Victoria (Parker Posey) refused to accept that her daughter wanted to explore a different religion while Timothy (Jason Isaacs) was too preoccupied with the legal issues facing him back in the U.S

As for Kate (Bibb), Laurie (Carrie Coon) and Jaclyn (Michelle Monaghan), their girls’ trip took a wild turn when they went to a club with Valentin (Arnas Fedaravicius) from The White Lotus. They eventually bid the men goodbye — except for Jaclyn who secretly invited Valentin back to her room.

There was also Belinda (Natasha Rothwell), who tried to alert Fabian (Christian Friedel) to Gary’s (Jon Gries) true identity. Her warning was ignored and somehow that led to her finally hooking up with Pornchai (Dom Hetrakul).

New episodes of The White Lotus air on HBO Sundays at 9 p.m. ET.

Justin Bieber Says He’s ‘Been Drowning Feeling Unsafe’ in Instagram Post

Justin Bieber has shared further insight into his mindset via an emotional online post.

The musician, 31, took to Instagram Stories on Sunday, March 16, to post a message that candidly detailed recent thoughts. “I was always told when I was a kid not to hate,” the “What Do You Mean?” singer wrote in black text against a white background. “But it made me feel like I wasn’t allowed to have it and so I didn’t tell anyone I’ve had it.”

The post continued, “Which made me feel like like [sic] I have been drowning feeling unsafe to acknowledge it. I think we can only let hate go by first acknowledging it’s there. How couldn’t we feel hate from all of the hurt we have experienced?”

Justin, who has faced months of public scrutiny for his ongoing behavior, accompanied the post with SZA’s 2022 track, “I Hate U.” He posted further Instagram Stories in the hours that followed, including a photo of what appeared to be Justin’s neck and chest, depicting various tattoos. The tattoo post was paired with Stevie Wonder’s “Summer Soft.”

Justin Bieber Says He’s ‘Always Felt Unworthy’ in Personal Message to Fans

Sunday’s Instagram activity came just days after the singer revealed via the social media platform that he has felt “unworthy” for a long time. “People told me my whole life, ‘Wow Justin, u deserve that’ and I personally have always felt unworthy,” Justin wrote via his Instagram Story on Thursday, March 13. “Like I was a fraud.”

The post continued, “Like when people told me I deserve something, it made me feel sneaky, like, damn if they only knew my thoughts. How judgmental I am, how selfish I really am. They wouldn’t be saying this. I say all this to say if you feel sneaky, welcome to the club. I definitely feel unequipped and unqualified most days.” It was paired with the track “Sneaky Sneaky” by Gold Tiger.

In February, amid rumors that Justin seemed troubled due to outings where he appeared disheveled and multiple cryptic Instagram posts, a representative for Justin told TMZ that rumors about him using hard drugs were “absolutely not true,” calling the speculation “exhausting and pitiful.” Per the rep at the time, discussion about Justin’s mental health “shows that despite the obvious truth, people are committed to keeping negative, salacious, harmful narratives alive.”

In a carousel of Instagram photos shared the following month, Justin posted after a bike ride where he blew smoke out of his mouth and held a bong in his hand. The photos were not captioned.

Justin Bieber’s Most Honest Quotes About His Mental Health Struggles

An insider told Us Weekly exclusively on February 24 that Justin’s wife, Hailey Bieber, is proving to be an ongoing source of support for her husband. “Hailey is trying to be as supportive as possible,” the source said at the time. “It can be hard for Hailey, but she’s always there for him and is understanding.”

On International Women’s Day, the model, 28, shared insight into the pair’s family life herself, posting two photos of their son, Jack, 6 months, on March 8. In the snaps, Jack was seen wearing a red crochet bonnet while enjoying time in the sun with his mom, who sported a wide-brimmed straw hat with her hair down.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Shares Update on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Revival

The follow-up series to Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be here sooner than originally predicted, according to one of its key stars.

Sarah Michelle Gellar, who confirmed she will appear in a forthcoming reboot of the supernatural drama that attracted a legion of fans when it debuted in 1997, recently told People that the project is well and truly on its way.

“We’ve set up our offices, which means things are progressing probably faster than I’d anticipated,” Gellar, 47, told the outlet in an interview published on Saturday, March 15. She did, however, add that “it’s going to be a process” to ensure the return of her character, Buffy Summers, and the wider Buffy universe is perfected for a new generation of viewers.

“To do it the way it needs to be done, everyone has to be patient with all of us,” Gellar reminded fans. “This isn’t something that [will just happen].”

Sarah Michelle Gellar Breaks Silence on ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ Revival

Us Weekly confirmed at the beginning of February that the TV series was in talks of a revival, just days before Gellar confirmed the news via Instagram. “So….. you might have heard some news this week, but I realize you haven’t heard from me,” the actress wrote via the social media platform on February 7. “Three years ago, I got a call from my dear friend and mentor, Gail Berman. She told me that she wanted me to sit down with Chloé Zhao to hear her take on a potential ‘Buffy’ revival.” (Zhao, 42, was the second woman in history to be awarded the Oscar for Best Director in 2021 for her work on Nomadland starring Frances McDormand.)

Gellar, who starred in Buffy until the show’s finale in May 2003, continued, saying she “was blown away that Chloé even knew who I was.”

“I eventually agreed to go (mainly just to meet Chloé) and our twenty minute coffee quickly turned into a four hour adventure. We laughed, we cried, but mostly we both talked about how much this show means to us,” Gellar wrote. “I have always listened to the fans and heard your desire to revisit ‘Buffy’ and her world, but it was not something I could do unless I was sure we would get it right.”

Gellar, who worked alongside Alyson Hannigan, David Boreanaz, Nicholas Brendon, Charisma Carpenter, Anthony Head and the late Michelle Trachtenberg on Buffy, admitted last month that she had felt overwhelmed by the reboot getting the green light.

“It’s heartwarming and exciting and also incredibly nerve-wracking at the same time,” the actress, who is married to Freddie Prinze Jr., told People on February 15. Her mixed feelings were revealed amid news that the Buffy reboot would feature a new lead character and Gellar would return in a recurring role, per Variety, who was one of the first outlets to report on the reboot’s confirmation.

Gellar will, however, serve as an executive producer alongside original Buffy EPs Gail Berman, Fran Kuzui and Kaz Kuzui via Suite B. Dolly Parton is also set to be an executive producer on the pilot after her Sandollar company was part of the original project. (Hulu and 20th Television had no comment on the news.)

Original Buffy creator Joss Whedon is not involved in the refreshed series, according to Deadline, following a series of misconduct allegations.

Jennifer Lawrence and Husband Step Out Amid Rumors They Welcomed 2nd Baby

Jennifer Lawrence and her husband, Cooke Maroney, are stepping out amid speculation that they have officially added a new member to their family with the arrival of their second baby.

The pair were spotted out in New York City on Sunday, March 16, per photographs shared by People. Lawrence, 34, wore a scarf and a navy trench coat, which she paired with a leopard print toe bag.

Us Weekly has reached out to Lawrence’s reps for comment.

The Oscar winner, 34, and the art gallery director, 40, have been together since 2018, and they tied the knot in October 2019. The couple are already parents of son Cy, whom they welcomed in February 2022.

Us confirmed in October 2024 that Lawrence was pregnant with baby No. 2 after she was spotted showing off her baby bump while out to dinner in Los Angeles.

Although Lawrence has opted to keep her family life private, she has previously opened up about how parenthood changed her.

“My heart has stretched to a capacity that I didn’t know about. I include my husband in that. And then they’re both just, like, out there — walking around, crossing streets,” she told Vogue in October 2022. “He’s gonna drive one day. He’s gonna be a stupid teenager and be behind the wheel of a car. And I’m just gonna be, like, ‘Good night!’ You know? Like, who sleeps?”

She continued, “The morning after I gave birth, I felt like my whole life had started over. Like, now is day one of my life. I just stared. I was just so in love. I also fell in love with all babies everywhere. Newborns are just so amazing. They’re these pink, swollen, fragile little survivors.”

Despite her newfound joy, Lawrence admitted to struggling with “mom guilt” as she attempted to balance her work schedule with the demands of parenting.

Jennifer Lawrence and Cooke Maroney's Relationship Timeline

“Every day of being a mom, I feel awful,” she shared during a June 2022 “Actors on Actors” interview for Variety. “I feel guilty. I’m playing with him and I’m like, ‘Is this what he wants to be doing? Should we be outside?’ We’re outside [and I’m like], ‘What if he’s cold? What if he’s going to get sick? Should we be inside? Is this enough? Is this developing your brain enough?’”

As Lawrence and Maroney found their footing as first-time parents, Us revealed in June 2023 that they were considering expanding their family.

“They’re thinking about having another child,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “At first they weren’t sure if they wanted another one because it’s so much work, but they’re obsessed with Cy and love showing off videos to their friends and family. They’ve started warming up to the possibility of a second.”

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Share Sweet New Selfie Amid Legal Battle

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are doing just fine.

Lively, 37, shared a smiling selfie with her husband of nearly 13 years via Instagram Story on Sunday, March 16. Alongside the selfie, she also shared three photos of cookies and cupcakes resembling horses that the family baked together.

Lively captioned one of the snaps, “The family that bakes together… stays sick on buttercream together.”

It appears Lively and Reynolds, 48, are focusing on spending quality time together amid an ongoing legal battle with Lively’s It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. Both parties have issued statements as they wait for a judge to rule on Lively’s request for a stronger protective order.

During a March 6 hearing, Lively’s legal team accused Baldoni’s lawyers of having “created improper disclosure of information.”

Blake Lively Says She Got 'Violent' Messages Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

“We want to stop the public publication of this information, in the case, during discovery. The rules try and prevent the burden to be on the third parties,” the actress’ lawyer said during the hearing. “We should not make the dozens of third parties run to the court for protection. We are supposed to reduce the burden on third parties. He should drop the third-party subpoena against the security firm that protects Lively and Reynolds.”

Bryan Freedman, Baldoni’s lead attorney, disputed the claims.

“These are matters of ‘for attorney’s eyes only’ restrictions,” Freedman said on Thursday. “This is a case where no one has any intention of harming Ms. Lively in any way. She detailed the sexual harassment claims and put that out there. My clients have been adjudicated as guilty right when this was filed. My client has a right to fight back and to defend himself. We want to agree to the protective order and place the burden on the party, who wants greater protection, to go to court and be transparent.”

Lively’s team is also attempting to protect “high-profile individuals” with whom she may have spoken or otherwise corresponded about her experiences with Baldoni.

“There is a significant chance of irreparable harm if marginal conversations with high-profile individuals with no relevance to the case were to fall into wrong hands,” her attorney claimed.

Freedman appeared unmoved by the claim. “We cannot treat celebrity people, and people who are powerful in the industry differently from other people,” he responded.

Lively and Reynolds requested a stronger PO in February.

“As detailed in Ms. Lively’s Amended Complaint, Ms. Lively, her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications,” a letter from Lively and Reynolds, noting Lively was seeking “additional protections.”

How Meghan Markle Found Community in U.S. After Leaving Royal Duties

Meghan Markle shed light on how she found a community after she and husband Prince Harry stepped back from their royal duties.

“I have a couple of girlfriends up here — these are stay-at-home moms and working women with normal jobs, not in the public eye,” the Duchess of Sussex, 43, told People in an interview published on Sunday, March 16. “We went from just connecting through our kids to having girls’ nights out or doing Pilates together.”

Meghan explained that she’s not afraid to make an introduction when she walks into a group fitness class.

“I go to group classes that sometimes have 40 to 50 people in them and just walk in like, ‘Hi!’ ” Meghan said. “Of course, at the beginning, that felt like a lot. By the way, I think anybody walking into a yoga class with 50 people when you’re one of the last people that walk in and everyone looks up, it’s going to feel a little uncomfortable!”

While attending a class without her girlfriends, Meghan was told to share encouragement to the person next to her.

“In the middle of the class they said, ‘Great, tell the person on your mat next to you that they’re doing a great job, give them a fist pump.’ And I looked over and there was someone over there, and I was like [miming a fist bump], ‘Well done!’ and then I looked to the other side and there was someone else and I went, ‘Nicely done! Come on, guys!’” she recalled. “I mean, that’s part of how you connect. I love it. It’s the best. I had missed it. It’s awesome.”

Meghan and Harry, 40, moved to Montecito, California, in 2020, where they are raising their son Archie, 5, and daughter Lilibet, 3. Meghan gushed to the outlet that the community has welcomed her family with open arms.

“Once you know us, I think you want us to have the same normalcy as parents and for our children as they do, despite however unique our situation is,” she said.

Why Meghan Markle’s 'With Love, Meghan' Wasn’t Filmed at Her Real House

Meghan has given fans a glimpse of her family life in her recently released Netflix series, With Love, Meghan. In the eight-part show, Meghan shares lifestyle tips while receiving visits from familiar faces. The streaming platform confirmed to Us Weekly earlier this month that With Love, Meghan will return for season 2.

“Oh, how I love ASMR!” she captioned clips from season 1, while gushing over the news of the show’s return. “If you’re loving Season 1, just wait until you see the fun we cooked up on Season 2! Thanks for joining the party, and an endless thanks to the amazing team and crew who helped bring it all to life! @netflix.”

Kaitlyn Bristowe Says She 'Blacked Out' from Cramps That ‘Hurt So Bad’

Kaitlyn Bristowe is getting real about her ups and downs over the past week.

“Highs and lows this week 👇🏼 ❤,” Bristowe, 39, wrote via Instagram on Friday, March 14, before listing out her high points. “Extra hot matcha latte, Writing music, Working with horses, Playing cards on a patio, Funny friends, Dogs Movies and cuddling.”

As for her “lows”? “Pms, Cramps that hurt so bad I blacked out, [her dog] Ramen eating plastic needing xrays, Fetal position crying in therapy, Flat tire, Letting go of patterns [and] Feelings being hurt.”

“Gentle reminder that we don’t post the lows ❤,” she concluded. “Also feeling grateful I GET TO feel.”

Alongside the candid message, Bristowe shared a series of photos including a mirror selfie and an image of her standing alongside a horse in a stable. In one pic, Bristowe smiled for a selfie with her dogs, who sat in the backseat of her car.

The former Bachelorette has been open through the years about her mental health struggles. While reflecting on her time as the lead of the ABC reality series, Bristowe exclusively told Us Weekly that she fell back into a depression while filming.

“I didn’t get anywhere near where I was in that really dark time [in my 20s], but I definitely struggled with depression during the show and while I was facing all that scrutiny,” Bristowe recalled to Us in May 2020. “I saw myself going down that same path, but I had the tools and the self-respect and everything to know that I was OK, and it was just an easier transition for me because I was confident in where I was at as a person.”

She continued: “But I’m just, that’s not who I am. I don’t want to live my life like that, and it had been long enough and I was just so done with feeling numb because Kaitlyn Bristowe loves to feel her feelings and being numb is not doing that. It’s fine to be sad and have your moment and I really sat in my sadness, but it’s about coming out on the other side and what you do with it after.”

Less than two years later, Bristowe got vulnerable in a social media post and shared a no-makeup selfie with tears streaming down her face.

“People don’t understand how happiness and depression can exist simultaneously. I do,” she wrote via Instagram in March 2022. “Swipe to see where I was at this morning, and this first pic is where I’m at hours later. Feeling good. For me.”

At the time, Bristowe wrote, “This is what being hormonal looks like.”

She added, “For some, it’s circumstantial, and for others it’s an every day battle. I do feel lucky to know ‘This too shall pass.’ But just want to send out a virtual hug to everyone … For anyone struggling with depression today, either lay in bed and cry, or get your butt up and do something that makes you happy. Whichever one you choose is OK ♥♥.”

Soccer's Andrej Lazarov Dead at 25 After Trying to Save Lives in Club Fire

Professional soccer player Andrej Lazarov was among more than 50 people who died Sunday, March 16, in a fire at the Pulse club in Kočani in North Macedonia. He was 25.

Lazarov’s club FC Shkupi confirmed the news on the team’s official Facebook page.

The young athlete “lost his life trying to help others escape the fire-stricken space,” the club wrote of his passing. “He suffocated from smoke during his attempts to save lives, showing courage and humanity until the very last moment. His heroic act will forever remain in our memory, as a testament to his noble character and his big heart.”

The club also described Lazarov’s untimely passing as a “huge loss” for the team. “Words are small to describe the pain we are feeling right now, in this tragedy — one of the biggest hit by our club in its history,” the post read.

Soccer Player Anton Walkes Dead at 25 Following a Boating Accident

North Macedonia’s Interior Minister, Panche Toshkovskithe, stated that the fire began around 3:00 a.m. local time during a press conference on Sunday. At least 59 people have died and more than 155 were injured in the blaze, according to Toshkkovskithe.

The Associated Press reported that the fire was likely caused after pyrotechnics on stage hit the ceiling during the band DNK’s set. “We even tried to get out through the bathroom, only to find bars (on the windows),” Marija Taseva, who was at the event, told the AP. “I somehow managed to get out. I fell down the stairs and they ran over me, trampled me. … I barely stayed alive and could hardly breathe.”

The blaze also caused the roof of the building to partially collapse. Authorities have since blocked off the site. An account on X called The Informant also reported that 27 of the injured were treated at Skopje City Hospital, while 23 others were treated at the city’s Clinical Center. “Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski called it a tragic day, urging support for the victims and their families,” the account noted.

Toshkovskithe also said 15 people have been detained for questioning after authorities found out the club was operating without the proper license. “We have grounds for suspicion that there is bribery and corruption in this case,” he also said.

Russian Ballet Dancer Vladimir Shklyarov Dead at 39 After Fifth-Floor Fall

In September 2024, Grinta Agency announced Lazarov had signed to the North Macedonian soccer team.

“We’re happy to announce Andrej Lazarov will be part of FC Shkupi for the 2024/25 season,” the agency wrote on Facebook at the time. “The talented midfielder is back in the league in which he contributed in 15 goals/assists the last time around.”

Justin Theroux Marries Fiancee Nicole Brydon Bloom in Mexico: Report

Actor Justin Theroux and his fiancée Nicole Brydon Bloom have reportedly tied the knot.

Theroux, 53, and Bloom, 30, are now married, according to a report from People published on Sunday, March 16, and after first sparking dating rumors in February 2023. Us Weekly has reached out to reps for both Bloom and Theroux for comment.

In photos shared by TMZ on Sunday, the pair appeared to enjoy a romantic photo shoot on the beach in Tulum, Mexico, over the weekend. The Gilded Age actress wore a white wedding dress while the Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice actor donned a matching white tuxedo.

The pair confirmed their engagement in August 2024, after Theroux got down on one knee while they were attending the 2024 Venice Film Festival together in Italy. Bloom and Theroux had made their red carpet debut earlier that year for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills.

Justin Theroux and Nicole Brydon Bloom's Relationship Timeline

“He was very romantic,” Bloom recalled during a February appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! earlier this year, where she joked that Theroux was wearing “full leather” for the special moment. “He did it properly. It was very sweet [and] just the two of us.”

In September 2024, Theroux told The Times of London of his engagement, “Of course, I was nervous proposing. It is a question after all, so the answer isn’t guaranteed. But it was wonderful.”

That same month, the actor revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show that he and Bloom had met at a party through “mutual friends.”

“A friend of mine who was with me, literally the quote was, ‘That’s the one,'” Theroux, who was previously married to Jennifer Aniston from 2015 to 2018, said last year. “Like, we hadn’t even met yet. And I was like, ‘She’s so stunning.’ So I went over and started talking and things like that and it progressed.”

Justin Theroux, Fiancee Nicole Brydon Bloom Attend US Open After Engagement

Theroux went on to joke exclusively with Us in October 2024 that his beloved dog Kuna might appear at his and Bloom’s wedding, whenever that happens to be.

“I don’t know. Who knows?” he teased to Us at the time.

“She was 3 years old when I got her. She was very neglected and in very bad shape, but she really assimilated beautifully,” Theroux continued. “She is a very, as you can see, very kind dog, very gentle dog.” He noted, “I say that it’s the only relationship for which I encourage codependence, because the relationship has to be codependent.”

This Award-Winning Men’s Shampoo Is the Perfect Replacement for That 3-in-1 Wash

Everyone always talks about the importance of a good conditioner, but shampoos are discussed a lot less — especially for guys. A high-quality shampoo is essential for strong, shiny hair and a healthy scalp. That said, it’s hard to find one worth writing home about. Just take a brisk walk through the men’s aisle and you’ll notice three-in-one washes galore.

Men’s three-in-one products — or worse, five-in-one products — are loaded with chemicals that dry out the hair, irritate the scalp, strip strands of moisture and disrupt the scalp’s pH. As the saying goes, “To be good at everything is to be great at nothing.” The same is true for products!

Instead of settling for a subpar (albeit convenient) formula, try investing in your haircare routine. You’ll never turn back! This invigorating men’s shampoo is designed for all hair types, whether curly, straight, dry, thick or fine, and contains only the best, most nourishing natural ingredients.

Everybody Is Sick Right Now, But I'm Not Thanks to These $19 Immune-Boosting Gummies With 111K Reviews

This shampoo includes saw palmetto and vegan biotin to strengthen the hair follicles, reduce thinning and fortify strands. It also contains jojoba protein to restore damaged hair, as well as oh-so-soothing aloe vera to calm the scalp. Jojoba oil and aloe vera work together to mimic the scalp’s natural oil production, all while deeply hydrating your hair from root to tip. If it sounds like a dreamy combination, that’s because it is!

Unlike many shampoos that contain harsh parabens, sulfates, phthalates and other chemicals to cleanse, this vegan formula takes a different approach. Coconut-derived surfactants cleanse the hair and scalp, removing dirt, buildup and oil to reveal shiny, ultra-soft locks. You’ll have touch-worthy hair at all times!

There are a few different scents to choose from, ranging from classic bergamot, sage and patchouli to a tropical coconut alternative and a woodsy cedar pick. The coconut apricot variety is sweet and vacation-like, so if you want to make every day feel like a relaxing getaway, this one has your name all over it. The santal cedar option is smoky, warm and calming; it gives off Western campfire energy. Notes of cedarwood, sandalwood and musk make this pick a manly must-have!

Whichever scent you choose, rest assured that your strands will be vibrant, healthy and lustrous. This is one of Blu Atlas’ top shampoos for a reason, with many reviewers calling it the “best shampoo” they’ve “ever used”.

“I’ve used a lot of shampoos in the past 5+ years. I’ve been trying to find the one and this is it,” one person writes. “I’ve been using this shampoo for at least 6 months and never once did I think about using something else. Absolutely love this shampoo and recommend everyone to try it.”

Olivia Culpo Shares New Bump Pic 1 Week After Announcing Pregnancy

Olivia Culpo is sharing a glimpse of her growing baby bump one week after announcing her pregnancy.

In a photo shared via her Instagram Story on Sunday, March 16, Culpo, 32, posed for a selfie in a brown loungewear jumpsuit with a gray cardigan and matching brown baseball cap. Culpo gave a soft smile for the camera as she seemingly sat on a bed.

Culpo announced on Monday, March 10, that she and husband Christian McCaffrey are expecting their first baby. “Next chapter, motherhood 🤍,” she wrote via Instagram, sharing black-and-white images from a maternity photo shoot.

After sharing the pregnancy news, Olivia’s sister Sophia Culpo poked fun at her methods of concealing her pregnancy. In an Instagram Story on Monday, Sophia, 28, reshared Olivia’s Instagram post from January where she positioned her dog in front of her stomach in a photo with McCaffrey, 28. “Now you all know why her nickname is Oblivia … she ain’t stealth,” Sophia wrote.

Days later, Olivia shared that she couldn’t be active for the first few months of her pregnancy. “I couldn’t workout for the first 4 months of my pregnancy (not even walking!!!!!),” Olivia captioned a Wednesday, March 12, Instagram Story of herself and fitness trainer Marissa West. “So we’re really making it count now … love you @westkeptsecret @mrswestisinthebuilding.”

Olivia and McCaffrey confirmed their relationship on Valentine’s Day in 2020 after being set up on a blind date the year before. In 2022, Olivia got candid about the pair’s future plans — including marriage and children. (Olivia and the NFL player ultimately tied the knot in June 2024.)

Olivia Culpo's Sister Pokes Fun at Her Using a Dog to Hide Her Baby Bump

“[We’re] taking it day by day,” Olivia exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “It’s really exciting, you know, there’s so much to be grateful for, and I don’t wanna give too much away because we do get into this a lot in [on The Culpo Sisters] but … I know that everything’s gonna work out exactly how it’s supposed to. I’m really excited for that.”

One month after speaking with Us, Olivia revealed in an episode of The Culpo Sisters that she had frozen her eggs. “I’ve been making decisions out of fear for the future,” Olivia said in the December 2022 episode. “There’s a lot of pressure that I’ve been putting on my relationship because of fertility. I am going to freeze my eggs so that I can have babies when the time is right for Christian and I. It’s an insurance policy. It’s exciting.”

Gigi Hadid Says the ‘Era of Donatella’ at Versace ‘Highlights’ Her Career

Gigi Hadid is honoring Donatella Versace after the fashion visionary stepped down as chief creative officer of the designer brand.

“Working with Versace in the era of Donatella will forever be one of the greatest highlights of my career,” Hadid, 29, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, March 16, alongside several photos from her time as a Versace model. “What is more of a life’s honor is saying that I know and love this Super Woman.”

“There is warmth, strength, gentleness, humor, generosity, encouragement, loyalty, and magic to @donatella_versace that I feel so lucky to have experienced from this boss and icon,” Hadid continued. “To say her support for me, 10 years ago, changed the course of my career would be an understatement.”

Hadid added that Donatella “was the first person to put me on a big, high fashion runway — then put me in the campaign that season,” saying, “Looking back at each memory since- more fittings, shoots, shows, carpets, campaigns, and dinners at Donatella’s than I can include^.. I’m reminded how her belief in me a decade ago made me see myself in ways I hadn’t before.”

Donatella Versace Named Chief Brand Ambassador After 27 Iconic Years

She continued, “I became a woman working for this woman. Some of the moments I’ve felt the most empowered, confident, and beautiful are because of her. I’ll never forget that.”

Hadid ended her heartfelt caption with a personal message for Donatella, saying, “DV- you know I love you so much. Thank you for everything, and for all you have given the world. I will always cherish my time wearing your creations, but the memories continue:) x x 4ever your girl ♉.”

It was announced by Versace’s U.S. owner Capri Holdings on Thursday, March 13, that Donatella would step down as chief creative officer for the role of chief brand ambassador. Miu Miu’s former design and image director, Dario Vitale, will take over as CCO effective April 1.

Gigi Hadid's Best Runway Moments of All Time

“Championing the next generation of designers has always been important to me,” Donatella said via Instagram on Thursday. “I am thrilled that Dario Vitale will be joining us and excited to see Versace through new eyes. I want to thank my incredible design team and all the employees at Versace that I had the privilege of working with for over three decades.”

She added, “In my new role as Chief Brand Ambassador, I will remain Versace’s most passionate supporter. Versace is in my DNA and always in my heart.”

Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent Celebrates Daughter Ocean's 4th Birthday

Lala Kent is paying tribute to daughter Ocean on her 4th birthday.

“My first and forever baby is 4 today. I often look at her and think, ‘Where did you come from?’” Kent, 34, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, March 15. “Ocean, you are the funnest person I know. To watch you grow into your own little human is a luxury to watch. You are smart, you are brave, you are kind, you are beautiful, and girl, you know what you want! I am unbelievably proud to be your mom. I love you, O. As always, continue to make waves 🌊💃 happy 4th birthday! God bless you.”

Alongside the message, Kent shared a series of throwback photos and videos through the years of Ocean. In one clip, Ocean blew kisses at the camera, while in another video she showed off her dance moves in a tutu.

The former Vanderpump Rules star welcomed Ocean with ex-fiancé Randall Emmett in 2021. Us Weekly confirmed that the pair, who met in 2015, split in November 2021.

Days before celebrating Ocean’s birthday, Kent confirmed that her and Emmett’s custody battle had been settled.

“The custody battle is over. It’s officially ended. We’re done with it, so there’s my tea for the day,” Kent shared in a March 4 Amazon Live. “After over three years, we have signed an agreement that is best for our daughter, Ocean. So I’m very, very happy about that.”

The Bravo personality added that the custody battle “has weighed on [her] heart and soul” for a while. “I’m sure it’s been the same for my ex, and I’m just so happy that we were able to get to a good place for the well-being of our kid,” she said.

'VPR' Alum Lala Kent Settles Custody Battle With Ex-Fiance Randall Emmett

Kent utilized a sperm donor to conceive her second child and underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI).

“The outside world is funny. Not everybody is as progressive as we are, and I just felt like, ‘OK, I’m bringing this baby into the world because I so badly want it to be here. But I also want to eliminate as many questions as I possibly can,’” Kent said on a March 2024 episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast. “[I wanted her to] have this same aesthetic look as me, my mom, Ocean. The world is already tough when you come from a totally normal family. I don’t want to make it any tougher for them.”

Kent welcomed daughter Sosa in September 2024. “My little dream baby entered the world. I am completely in love with her — We all are,” Kent wrote via Instagram at the time. “Sosa, you have no idea what you have brought into my life. I am blessed to call myself your mama. Welcome to our crazy world, boo boo. We are so happy you’re here 💕.”

Jenna Ortega Reveals ‘Iron Man 3’ Was One of Her First Jobs

Jenna Ortega has a bone to pick with Marvel.

The Wednesday star revealed in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on Friday, March 14, that Iron Man 3 was one of her first roles — but her part was cut from the movie’s final release.

“It was one of the first jobs I ever had,” Ortega said. “They took all my lines out.”

Ortega added that the only part of her that’s visible in the scene is “one leg.”

After Ant-Man star Paul Rudd added that sometimes Marvel likes to lay “breadcrumbs,” Ortega pushed back, “They even took my name away.”

Luckily, being cut from the film hasn’t had a negative impact on Ortega’s career —the second season of her hit series Wednesday is set to debut this year on Netflix, and the actress has already warned fans that they need to be prepared.

Why Jenna Ortega Was 'Confused' by the Success of 'Wednesday'

“I kind of want her to be darker,” Ortega told Entertainment Tonight in December 2022. “I want her to get more in the nitty-gritty of things and not play things so safe, because there are a lot of lines about her saving the school and doing whatever, but for me, her main drive with the monster is of a competitiveness. Kind of, ‘Man, how’s this guy doing this?’”

In February 2024, Ortega, who will also serve as a producer on the show’s second season, told Vanity Fair the show will “expand” on the supernatural themes. “I mean, in the first season, we had episodes that really stood out visually, like, the dance episode was a really big one for people, and that setting was very particular and it felt like Prom Night, a little bit, or Carrie,” she said. “Every episode [of season 2] that I’ve read so far is like that.”

She continued: “It just stands out on its own as a very memorable scene or bit or setting, which I think is what I’m most excited for, because to pull that off for eight episodes is, I think, really incredible and really lucky.”

Jenna Ortega Teases 'Wednesday' Season 2 Will Be 'Very Graphic'

And that’s not all — in January of this year, Ortega told E! News Tim Burton “really had a ball” in terms of the show’s gory content in season 2. “Everything is very graphic, and it’s very exciting and inspiring to work with someone like that who gets you excited about the shots that you’re doing every day,” she said.

The second season of Wednesday will also feature a guest star – none other than Lady Gaga, whose song “Bloody Mary” was used in several TikTok videos celebrating the first season.
