UPDATE — 12/19/24, 9:15 a.m. ET: According to JoJo Edwards-Helaire, the wife of Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Travis Kelce was the mastermind behind the Eras-themed party. When a social media user commented that the celebration looked “like a wrap party,” JoJo replied, “It was a congratulations party. And a surprise from Trav.”

Original story: 

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were living it up at Swift’s Eras-themed bash.

A photo of the couple partying together appeared on X on Wednesday, December 18. Swift, who wrapped her Eras Tour on December 8, one week before her 35th birthday, wore a flirty black dress and playfully tugged on the lapel of Kelce’s black tuxedo jacket. (A fellow partier stood next to them, clad in a pink suit and otherwise distracted.)

Meanwhile, Kelce, 35, flashed a huge grin at the camera. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end sported friendship bracelets on his wrist and a white bow tie around his neck. His dapper ensemble looked similar to the one that he wore on the Eras stage in June, when he made a memorable appearance during one of Swift’s concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium.

Earlier Wednesday, Brittany Mahomes shared a series of photos from the event, where guests paid homage to Swift’s blockbuster tour by stepping out in Swiftie-inspired getups.

“My people,” Mahomes, 29, wrote via Instagram, unveiling a group snapshot with Swift, Lyndsay Bell and Ashley Avignone. Kelce was seen standing in the background of one of Brittany’s pics. He is teammates with Brittany’s husband, Patrick Mahomes, and former teammates with Lyndsay’s husband, Blake Bell.

“I’ve never played more shows on tour or toured longer than I have with the Eras Tour,” Swift told the adoring audience at one of her December 6 show. “There are so many reasons for that, like, nobody’s backstage saying, ‘You gotta do more shows.’ I decided to make this tour the longest I’ve ever done because you have made this feel like so much more than a concert tour in so many ways.”

She continued, “I’ve been going on tour since I was 15 years old, and this has felt different in every single way. It’s felt like this escape to a planet where nothing but joy and passion and togetherness and camaraderie exists every night coming out to these crowds.”

That epic career milestone was also the beginning of Swift’s romance with Kelce, who showed up at her Kansas City show wearing a friendship bracelet. He wasn’t able to meet the Grammy-winning icon that night, but eventually, they connected and sparks flew in the summer of 2023. By the fall, Swift was attending Chiefs games and cheering Kelce on from the sidelines.

“When you say a relationship is public, that means I’m going to see him do what he loves, we’re showing up for each other, other people are there and we don’t care,” Swift told TIME in her 2023 Person of the Year profile. “The opposite of that is you have to go to an extreme amount of effort to make sure no one knows that you’re seeing someone. And we’re just proud of each other.”

She continued, “Football is awesome, it turns out. I’ve been missing out my whole life.”

Happy birthday, Christina Aguilera!

The pop star took to Instagram on Wednesday, December 18, to mark her 44th with a topless portrait. In the black-and-white image, Aguilera strikes a sultry pose, crouching on a floor with her side to the camera, her platinum blonde curls grazing her bare shoulders. She sports a black leather newsboy hat, black short shorts, strappy heels and dramatic makeup. 

“Birthday Suit #44,” Aguilera captioned her post. 

Naturally, her fans went wild in the comment section.

Aguilera, who won five Grammy Awards during her Y2K heyday, completed a nine-month Vegas residency in August. Three months later, she performed a surprise duet with Sabrina Carpenter during Carpenter’s Short ‘N Sweet Tour concert in Los Angeles. 

At the time, Aguilera strutted into the venue, wearing a black bustier and over-the-knee silver boots while performing a vocal riff that launched a rendition of “Ain’t No Other Man.” Carpenter, 25, subsequently joined her at center stage to complete the number, per social media footage. They also sang Aguilera’s “What a Girl Wants.”

In November, Aguilera shared a rare snap of her family of four via Instagram. The “Genie in a Bottle” singer posed with her fiancé, Matthew Rutler, and her two children, son Max, 16, and daughter Summer, 10. (Aguilera welcomed Max with ex-husband Jordan Bratman in 2008 and shares Summer with Rutler, 39.)

“On the way to school the other day with her dad, [Summer] said, ‘When I grow up, I want to either be Mama’s photographer or Mama’s manager.’ It’s so funny,” Aguilera told Vogue earlier this year. “So we told Will.i.am that [when he came to see the show], and he was like, ‘Oh, my God, she’s your daught-ager.’ So daught-ager is the word of the year. It’s just so cute.”

Aguilera spoke about her journey with motherhood in an interview with Haute Living in 2019, explaining how she balances her family and career in order to create a stable life for her kids.

“I made the decision for quite some time not to tour for a while because I thought it was the best thing to make a more stable, routine life for my children,” she said at the time. “Even when I took the spot on [The Voice], it wasn’t really something I wanted to pursue. I just decided, ‘It keeps me in L.A. and in a place where I can focus on my kids.’”

She added, “Everything I’ve pretty much decided to do has been influenced by [my kids], but at the same time, I need to make sure that I don’t lose myself and that I always stay grounded in what’s important for me.”

Danny Masterson has appealed his rape conviction after being sentenced to 30 years to life in prison.

Masterson’s attorney, Cliff Gardner, shared a 246-page opening brief on Wednesday, December 18, claiming several errors were made that “violated” the actor’s “rights to confrontation and a fair trial.”

Gardner also issued a statement alleging “two fundamental flaws in Danny Masterson’s convictions.”

In the first flaw, he alleged, “the trial was rife with erroneous judicial rulings that skewed the jury’s view of the evidence against him.” And in the second, the lawyer claimed “there was a stunning amount of exculpatory evidence which was never presented to the jury.”

Danny Masterson’s Sexual Assault Allegations and Case: What to Know

Gardner stated that “the appeal represents only one part of Danny’s challenge to his convictions. Danny’s habeas lawyer will be following up on the opening brief with a Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus documenting additional defects in the trial process. Stay tuned as we work toward Danny’s complete exoneration.”

Four women claimed in March 2017 that Masterson, 48, sexually assaulted them in the early 2000s. A fifth woman came forward in December 2017, claiming that while she was dating the actor, he “repeatedly raped” her.

Masterson maintained his innocence and pleaded not guilty in January 2021 to three counts of rape. His first trial began in fall 2022, which ended in a mistrial. Masterson went back on trial in spring 2023 when he was convicted of two counts of rape. In September 2023, he was handed a 30-year prison sentence. He filed an appeal two months later; it was denied in January. 

Prior to the conviction, Masterson was best known for his role as Steven Hyde in That ‘70s Show from 1998 to 2006 as well as his role on Netflix’s The Ranch as Jameson “Rooster” Bennett from 2016 to 2018.

Bijou Phillips Is Moving On After Scientology Exit, Danny Masterson Split

Masterson’s wife, Bijou Phillips, filed for divorce in September 2023 after 12 years of marriage. The following month, Us confirmed that Masterson agreed to give Phillips, 44, full legal and physical custody of their daughter, Fianna, 10.

In December 2023, Masterson was admitted into the prison system and began his sentence at North Kern State Prison in Delano, California. He was later transferred to California’s Men’s Colony, a minimum-security prison in San Luis Obispo. Masterson will not be eligible for parole until July 2042, when he would be 66 years old.

The Pioneer Woman host, 55, took to social media on Wednesday, December 18, to share the happy news that her eldest daughter, Alex, has given birth to her first child, a daughter named Sofia.

“She’s here,” Alex captioned their photo carousel. “December 18th 2024. At 2:27am our perfect girl made her arrival a couple weeks early, just in time for Christmas! We are so in love and forever changed. Thank you Lord.”

The black-and-white snaps show Alex and Mauricio posing with their newborn moments after her arrival. In one emotional snapshot, Alex is in tears meeting Sofia for the first time.

Earlier this year, Alex announced that she and Scott were expanding their family. The pair tied the knot in 2021.

“We can’t wait to meet you, little one,” Alex wrote via Instagram. “Baby Scott joining the party this winter!”

At the time, Ree commented, “Beyond happy for you two!! (And for the whole family!) Love you, Alex and Mauricio!”

The celebrity chef and lifestyle mogul is also a mom to sons Bryce, 21, Jamar, 21, and Todd, 19, whom she shares with Ladd. 

Last summer, Ree then took to her blog to discuss Alex’s big-time milestone.

“My child is going to have a child. It’s surreal, and I’m sure all of you grandparents can relate to the feeling of momentarily leaving your body [after hearing] similar news,” the chef gushed.

“We have no idea what being grandparents will look like or how much it will change our lives,” she said, explaining that Alex was due in January 2025.

“I will probably watch less Bravo, maybe? (Maybe not.) Can grandmothers have long hair? Can grandfathers look sexy in Wranglers? How long before the baby can ride a horse?” she joked.

Minnie Driver has some questions about the latest plastic surgery trends. 

“Guys, are we all getting new faces for Christmas?” the British actress, 54, asked in a recent Instagram video. “‘Cause where you getting them from? And do you think they’re gonna run out? And does anyone got a discount code?”

Driver, looking casual-chic in a blue T-shirt, white pants and cat-eye glasses, was poking fun at trendy aesthetic procedures that make people look like walking Instagram filters. 

“Quite hard to put under the tree,” she captioned her post, adding the cheeky hashtags #newface, #faceshop and #discountcodes.

Minnie Driver Tells Her Younger Self to Date a Plumber, Not an Actor

Driver has been candid lately about the aging process. Last month, she posted a pair of makeup-free selfies to her Instagram account.

“Ok, I’m pretty vain, so posting [a] picture without a scrap of makeup and un-touched up, are rare,” she wrote in the caption. “The only reason I’m doing it now is because I’ve been ill, I have felt every one of my years recently.”

At the time, Driver credited friend and London-based aesthetician Karen Bartov for helping her share a more authentic depiction of herself.

“I’m pretty astonished that my friend Keren can make me look like this,” she continued. “Christmas glow without the 5 mulled wines. Love you Keren and thank you.”

Minnie Driver's Dating History: From Matt Damon to Addison O’Dea

Driver revealed in early November that she was battling the flu and credited partner Addison O’Dea with helping her get through it. She showed her appreciation in an Instagram post celebrating the couple’s six-year anniversary, writing, “All day long he’s been sticking thermometers in my ear and setting timers for medication and sticking his head round the door and writing me cards and making me food I can’t eat.”

O’Dea’s caretaking worked. Earlier this month, Driver was recovered and ready to attend The Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia, where she was a jury member alongside Spike Lee and Daniel Dae Kim. She posted snapshots of her glamorous festival outfits via Instagram.

“I always love the pictures we take at home about a million times more than the red carpet ones,” she revealed on December 11, adding, “on my way to the Women in Cinema dinner at @redseafilm where I’m thrilled to be on the jury this year.”

Kim Zolciak-Biermann is giving an update on her bitter split from Kroy Biermann.

Zolciak-Biermann, 46, did not mince words when approached by a TMZ reporter at Los Angeles International Airport on Monday, December 16. When asked to describe what she’s going through in her personal life, the reality star replied: “Torture.”

“You’re going through torture right now?” the reporter asked her.

“I have for years,” she said.

Kim Zolciak Claims Kroy Biermann Threw Her to the Ground in Fight

Zolciak-Biermann told the outlet: “I’m a normal, rational person that doesn’t see the need for any of this controlling chaos. I don’t. I really don’t.”

Earlier this month, Us Weekly reported that police had responded to a domestic violence call on November 27 at the pair’s shared home in Georgia.

Zolciak-Biermann alleged that she and Biermann, 39, got into an argument while she was on a ladder taking down curtains. The Real Housewives of Atlanta alum claimed that Biermann got confrontational with her and things got physical. She alleged that the former football player physically removed her from the ladder and threw her to the ground.

Zolciak-Biermann reportedly told law enforcement officers that she sustained injuries as a result of the alleged incident. However, the officers claimed in the report that she refused to provide any evidence of a physical injury to first responders. Biermann, for his part, claimed that Zolciak-Biermann instigated the altercation and allegedly struck him in the face.

Kroy Biermann Claims He Was ‘Silenced’ and More in Kim Zolciak Marriage

The incident allegedly took place in front of some of Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann’s children. The exes share sons KJ, 13, Kash, 12, and twins Kaia and Kane, both 11. Biermann also adopted Zolciak-Biermann’s daughters Brielle, 27, and Ariana, 23, from a previous relationship.

According to the report, law enforcement could not determine who the “primary aggressor” was and no arrests were made.

“I think there’s a track record of Kroy being the problem,” Zolciak-Biermann told TMZ on Monday. “Nobody has any idea what I’ve dealt with the last two-and-a-half, three years of my life. I’m trying to take the high road.”

She added, “It’s gonna take me a long time to heal from this trauma I’ve experienced.”

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s Home Faces Foreclosure, Up For Auction

Zolciak-Biermann said that she and Biermann are “living together … He has his own house but he’s not living there.” Of their situation, she said: “I hate it.”

Us Weekly reached out to a Biermann representative for comment.

In early December, the pair’s home was put up for public auction and facing foreclosure. Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann, who got married in November 2011, purchased the mansion, which is located in Manor Golf & Country Club, in 2021 for $880,000.

They have had their fair share of ups and downs since initially filing for divorce in May 2023. The duo had a brief reconciliation and called off their split, only for Biermann to refile for divorce weeks later. The pair have been at odds over finances and custody of their children since. In addition to their divorce drama, Zolciak-Biermann and Biermann have avoided foreclosure on their house multiple times.

When asked Monday if Biermann is “too controlling,” Zolciak-Biermann responded, “To say the least. But it’s all good. I wish him well. I do.”

Keanu Reeves and girlfriend Alexandra Grant made a rare appearance together at the premiere of Sonic the Hedgehog 3. 

The low-key couple tend to stay out of the spotlight, but on Monday, December 16, they hit the red carpet for the film, in which Reeves, 60, plays Shadow the Hedgehog. The actor has dated Grant, 51, for some seven years.

“They see themselves as soulmates,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this year, discussing Reeves’ dynamic with the visual artist.  

According to the insider, the twosome are “shy by nature so there’s no overintensity or jealousy on either side. Alexandra appreciates that Keanu is a total gentleman who encourages her to pursue her passions, while he says she’s one of the kindest people he’s ever met.”

Keanu Reeves and Girlfriend Alexandra Grant 'See Themselves as Soulmates'

Reeves and Grant originally met at a dinner party in 2009. They went on to collaborate on Reeves’ books Ode to Happiness and Shadows and opened their own publishing company, X Artists Books.

“The book was made as a surprise, by me, for Keanu, as a private gift,” Grant told British Vogue of Ode to Happiness in 2020. “All our friends sitting in the room got the giggles when I gave it to him — they said, ‘Please publish it!’ So that’s how we got into publishing.”

After developing a friendship, Reeves and Grant took their relationship to the next level. They went public with their romance in November 2019, which is when a second source told Us that the pair had been “dating for years” and “it wasn’t a secret.”

Grant recently shed insight into her romance with Reeves when she spoke about their shared interest in art. 

Keanu Reeves Gushes Over Girlfriend Alexandra Grant on ‘Sonic 3’ Red Carpet

“My work is much more of a private performance, but I have a text that I interpret in the studio into a painting, into an object,” Grant explained to People in September 2023. “He takes the text in private and then turns it into a performance in public. … There’s a relationship. We’re both, at the heart, readers and researchers. We both care about people and we care about characters.”

Another source told Us in November 2023 that Reeves and Grant are “typically homebodies” who prefer “quiet nights alone or small get-togethers” with their friends.

“Things are great between them. They’re very happy together,” the source shared, noting that the pair make an “amazing” match. “[They are] both very relaxed and casual by nature.”

While Reeves has never married, his friend Winona Ryder has insisted that she and Reeves tied the knot while filming their characters’ wedding for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, the 1992 movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola.

Reeves later told Esquire in November 2021, “Winona says we are. Coppola says we are. So, I guess we’re married under the eyes of God.”

Brittany Mahomes continues to hit the gym in the third trimester of her pregnancy.

Brittany, 29, shared her workout routine via Instagram Stories on Monday, December 16, showing off her baby bump in a video where she lifts weights and does squats and lunges. She sported a lavender set by Vitality and white sneakers with her long, blonde hair pulled back into an easy ponytail. 

The clip was first posted by Brittany’s trainer, Kirsty Rae, who captioned it: “Third trimester is my fave stage of pregnancy when it comes to training. there’s studies that show your body basically goes into superhuman mode to prepare for childbirth. so badass.”

In another video, Brittany tilts her head to the side as she snaps a selfie during a break. “Feeling very pregnant,” she wrote in a caption, adding a laughing emoji.

“We workin,” Brittany wrote on December 3, referencing Rae.

She and Patrick announced in July that they are gearing up to welcome baby No. 3. “Round three, here we come,” the couple announced in an Instagram post at the time.

The pair tied the knot in March 2022, two years after he proposed. They are already the parents of daughter Sterling, 3, and son Bronze, 2, both of whom appeared in Brittany and Patrick’s pregnancy announcement.

Pregnant Brittany Mahomes Reveals Her Fitness Routine to Avoid 'Mom Butt'

Brittany has been showing off her maternity fashion while supporting her husband at Chiefs games, and with Rae’s encouragement, has offered an inside look at her prepartum workouts via social media.

“Many women experience what’s called ‘mom butt’ during and after pregnancy, which happens when the glutes lose shape and muscle mass,” Rae explained via Instagram in late October. “This is often due to changes in posture and how we move as our bodies adjust to pregnancy.”

In the accompanying video, Brittany could be seen working out to avoid this particular phenomenon.

“By focusing on glute engagement and maintaining strength training, you can actually continue to build muscle,” the trainer added. “It’s all about proper movement, posture, and progressive overload.”

The day before posting her latest fitness regimen, Brittany stepped out on the sidelines of Patrick’s latest away game against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, December 15. She paired a beige puffy jacket, emblazoned with “Chiefs,” with fuzzy earmuffs from Prada. 

Ahead of kickoff, Brittany made sure to spend time with Patrick on the field, and they shared a sweet sideline kiss.

“He doesn’t get nervous or stressed at all. That’s just what he likes to do,” Brittany said during an August appearance on the “WHOOP” podcast, noting that she gets more anxious about the games. “I think he loves going into a new week having new game plans, having new challenges, having new people that he’s playing.”

Jessica Simpson is back in the studio amid her separation from estranged husband Eric Johnson.

Simpson, 44, took to Instagram on Monday, December 16, to share a sultry photo of herself leaning back in a chair in a room filled with recording equipment. “I can’t wait for y’all to hear the soundtrack of my soul ,” she told her 6 million followers in the caption.

Simpson wore a white satin top and skirt with a black jacket in the pic, pairing the look with black fishnet stockings that covered her waist. On her feet: Black platform cowboy boots that made her look like a Goth country singer. Simpson also flaunted a black statement necklace, a golden tan and kept her blonde hair long and teased on top. As for her face, she sported dramatic black eye makeup and a pink glossy lip.

It was Simpson’s first social media post since November, when she posted a series of smoldering shots and revealed that she was making new music again after a long hiatus.

“I’m doing this as a mother now, as a wife. I was a wife last time, but this is a very different marriage,” she told Bustle during a 2023 interview. “And they’ve never seen me do this.”

In April, Simpson uploaded a photo from a recording studio via X and seemingly hinted at her next endeavor. Her sister, Ashlee Simpson, confirmed exclusively to Us Weekly that Jessica was “in the studio.”

Jessica Simpson and Eric Johnson’s Relationship Timeline

Ashlee, who teased that she would also be releasing new music soon, told Us in June, “So look at us both coming in. … There’s more to come and you’ll hear from Jess soon.”

Since her last album, Simpson has focused on her family — which includes son Ace, 11, and daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, whom she shares with Johnson. 

A source confirmed to Us in November that Simpson and Johnson, 45, were “living separately right now” after being spotted without their wedding rings. 

A second insider revealed that the pair planned to spend the holidays as a family despite not being under the same roof.

Jessica Simpson, Eric Johnson ‘Trying to Figure Out a Separation': Sources

“Jessica and Eric plan on being all together for the holidays with the kids,” the source told Us at the time. “It’s all about the kids and family. They don’t hate each other.”

Simpson and the former NFL player started dating in 2010 following their respective divorces from Nick Lachey and Keri D’Angelo. Johnson proposed to Simpson within six months, and they tied the knot in July 2014.

A third insider noted to Us that Simpson and Johnson were “trying to figure out a separation without disrupting their kids’ lives as much as possible.”

“They are both really committed to the wellbeing of the kids and trying to figure out what’s best for them,” the source added.

Simpson, who was previously married to Lachey, 51, from 2002 to 2006, has previously been candid about her partnership with Johnson.

“In terms of my marriage to Eric, I have never felt more myself or more free,” Simpson exclusively told Us in February 2020. “Eric and I have a true mind, body [and] soul connection. Some of the things he loves most about me are my flaws. I am most certainly in this marriage and this life with Eric by my side with free will!”

Kylie Kelce’s daughters are learning all about Taylor Swift.

Kylie posted a video via Instagram on Monday, December 16, revealing that her kids have Taylor Swift: A Little Golden Book Biography, a bestselling book about the pop star. The mother of three was seen picking up toys — and the book — at home while documenting a day in her life.

“I don’t know about everyone else, but our floor is never clean,” Kylie, 32, said in the clip. “My best bet of trying to clean it is while the kids are not in the house. It’ll take ‘em five minutes to mess it back up.”

Golden Books’ Swift bio is meant for beginning readers and first hit bookshelves in May 2023. Like much Swift-related reading material, it shot up the bestseller lists and, as of Monday, is now ranked No. 168 among the top-selling books on Amazon. An “Ultimate Fan Edition” was published in November with 22 new pages and a sheet of stickers — the ultimate stocking stuffer.

Kylie Kelce Reacts to Fan Saying Her Kids 'Look Exactly' Like Husband Jason

Kylie and her husband, Jason Kelce’s three daughters, Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1, own the original version. But they and their parents are well-acquainted with the woman who inspired it. The girls’ uncle, Travis Kelce, has been dating Swift, 35, since summer 2023.

Earlier this year, Kylie and Jason took Wyatt and Elliotte to Swift’s Eras Tour show in Miami. Several weeks later, Kylie confirmed via Instagram that she and Jason are expecting their fourth child — and Swift subtly dropped a “like” on the post.

“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie joked on November 22, sharing a photo of her girls wearing matching “big sister” sweaters as they each had starkly different reactions to the pregnancy news. “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! .”

In the pic, Wyatt covered her ears while Bennett sobbed. Ellie, meanwhile, was the only Kelce daughter to smile for the camera.

Everything Jason Kelce and Pregnant Wife Kylie Have Said About Parenting

Kylie shares her parenting stories and busy lifestyle on her popular new podcast, “Not Gonna Lie,” which debuted December 5. 

In the first episode, she fielded questions about the logistics of recording and revealed that she hires a babysitter even when Jason, 37, is around.

“How do I say this nicely? No,” Kylie said during episode. “When I have to do something — coaching, something for Eagles Autism Foundation, something for podcast, a doctor’s appointment even — I will schedule childcare.”

She added, “My husband could tell me 72 times that he is going to be in the house during the time when I have to leave it, [and] I will still schedule childcare.”

She explained that Jason is “busier than he has ever been. I see him less now in retirement than I did when he was playing football. We had a set schedule then, now it is an absolute free-for-all.”

Swift, for her part, started bonding with the entire Kelce squad after she started dating Travis, a Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end.

“Taylor has really been integrated into the family,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in March. “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her.”

Brandi Glanville is accepting Dr. Terry Dubrow’s help amid her health issues.

Glanville, 52, has experienced abnormal facial swelling that she claims could be due to “face parasites.” However, Dubrow, 66, stated that he doesn’t believe that to be the case. 

“I saw one of her interviews and I’ve seen the picture of her, the one where she is swollen, the one where she is really deflated with the irregular skin,” the Botched doctor told TMZ on Thursday, December 12. “Here’s the thing, here’s what Brandi really needs to focus on… and it’s not her fault, it’s her doctor’s fault. Brandi needs a diagnosis.”

Dubrow delivered a message to Glanville via TMZ, offering to assist if needed.

All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at [Cedars-Sinai]” and “all the doctors they referred me to.”

Glanville has been candid about her health setback. She previously shared a photo of her facial deformities and revealed she’s spent $70,000 seeking a cause.

“Honestly, I have so many doctors and I’ve had so many tests … I did lab work for $10,000,” she said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Tuesday, December 10. “I ran every test under the sun.… They’re like, ‘It could be a parasite.’ That’s, you know, new.”

Brandi Glanville Shares New Selfie Amid Health Issues: 'Suck It Haters'

Glanville explained that before a doctor theorized she potentially contracted a parasite, she experienced “swelling” and was “unable to speak.” When she sought out treatment, some medical professionals suggested the issue may have been due to old face fillers that were dissolving. But Glanville stated that she hadn’t done fillers in a while and her older fillers had already dissolved.

Initially, Glanville pegged the source as food poisoning in Morocco while filming The Real Housewives: The Ultimate Girls Trip.

Glanville told ET that she’s felt a parasite move under her face. If Glanville “messes with it,” she said, it will jump around to a different area and will look like “tiny bubbles bursting” on her skin.

I have zero drama with @DrDubrow I appreciate all the help I can getwe have been in touch and plan to talk thank you for all the love. All fillers that were in my face have been dissolved. I have seen all the best doctors at cedar Sinai,&all the doctors they referred me to

“She has to figure out if there’s a microorganism in there,” Dubrow told TMZ. “It’s not going to be a parasite, it’s not going to be something she ate, it’s going to be from something that got into her bloodstream.”

Dubrow shared his concern about what could happen to Glanville if she doesn’t get a diagnosis as soon as possible.

“She’s like a ticking time bomb. Every minute that that microorganism is allowed to stay in her skin and do potential damage, she could suffer worse for it,” Dubrow added. “It could be more difficult to treat and she could form more scars and more nodules. So Brandi needs a diagnosis. She probably needs a surgical intervention to get a piece of tissue and figure out what’s going on.”

Sean “Diddy” Combs will remain in a New York City jail until the start of his trial next year.

Diddy, 55, has voluntarily dropped his latest appeal to be released on bail and will stay behind bars as he awaits his May 5, 2025 trial date, People reported on Friday, December 13, citing new court documents.

The disgraced music mogul was indicted by a grand jury in September shortly before he was arrested for sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment — which cited Diddy’s infamous parties, nicknamed “Freak-Offs,” as proof — claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades. 

Diddy has denied the allegations and pleaded not guilty to the charges. He was remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center until his trial. A judge denied him bail on four separate appeals.

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

Most recently, federal judge Arun Subramanian ruled “that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably assure the safety of the community” should he grant Diddy’s bail request, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly in late November.

The day before Combs withdrew a new bail appeal, he was accused of sexual assault by three more alleged victims in civil lawsuits, Us confirmed on Thursday, December 12. 

Per the documents obtained by Us, the unnamed victims alleged that Diddy drugged and sexually assaulted them. The earliest claim in the docs was in 2019.

​​Two of the accusers alleged that they went to hotels with the rapper, with one claiming they were raped at his Hamptons home. (One claimed to be raped by Diddy in his suite at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, the site where he was arrested in September.)

Will Smith Says 'I Don't Have S--- to Do' With Diddy, Hasn't Been to Party

All three alleged victims claim they accepted alcoholic beverages from Diddy, alleging that they passed out and came to when he was sexually assaulting them.

One alleged victim claimed that Diddy told them going to the police would make them “look like an idiot,” adding that he would “never [be] able to substantiate his claims against Combs” because of his celebrity status.

The same accuser also alleged that the men from Diddy’s entourage called his cell phone to “threaten and intimidate” him into silence after the sexual assault. Per the lawsuit, the alleged victims did not come forward with their stories because of fear and humiliation.

Diddy’s attorneys slammed the accusations in a statement to Us. “These complaints are full of lies,” the statement read. “We will prove them false and seek sanctions against every unethical lawyer who filed fictional claims against him.”

A statement released to Us in October noted that “Mr. Combs and his legal team have full confidence in the facts, their legal defenses, and the integrity of the judicial process. In court, the truth will prevail: that Mr. Combs has never sexually assaulted anyone — adult or minor, man or woman.”

Rachel “Raquel” Leviss has weighed in on reports that Ally Lewber is standing by James Kennedy in the wake of his arrest for misdemeanor domestic violence.

Leviss, 30, took to Instagram on Friday, December 13, to share a screenshot of a TMZ headline that called Kennedy’s December 10 arrest a “misunderstanding.” The outlet reported Friday that Kennedy, 32, and Lewber, 28, were “sticking together” following the incident. 

“The amount of times I convinced myself that the abuse I endured by James Kennedy Georgiou was a ‘misunderstanding’ is sickening,” Leviss captioned her grid post, directing her nearly 600,000 followers to listen to the April 23 episode of her “Rachel Going Rogue” podcast.

In that episode, Leviss spoke with psychiatrist Dr. Gail Saltz about bad relationships and how to stop repeating mistakes. 

Rachel Leviss Reacts to Ex-Fiance James Kennedy's Domestic Violence Arrest

“If you listen … this is the pdf sent to me by my therapist I was referencing,” she wrote Friday in her Instagram Stories, where she shared three pages describing different types of abuse, including physical, sexual, verbal and emotional/psychological. 

Leviss dated Kennedy for five years. The Vanderpump Rules costars broke up in December 2021, ending their seven-month engagement.

“We are aware of James Kennedy’s recent arrest for domestic violence. This news is, unfortunately, not surprising,” Leviss’ attorneys, Mark Geragos and Bryan Freedman, told Us Weekly in a statement on Thursday, December 12. “Rachel’s [revenge porn] lawsuit describes, in significant detail, Mr. Kennedy’s long history of erratic, violent behavior and substance abuse.”

In March, Leviss had sued Ariana Madix and Tom Sandoval for revenge porn, eavesdropping, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. (Leviss had an affair with Sandoval, 42, which led to Madix ending their nine-year relationship. Madix, 39, was later removed from the complaint.)

James Kennedy Breaks Silence After Misdemeanor Domestic Violence Arrest

Us confirmed Thursday that Kennedy was arrested for misdemeanor domestic violence following an alleged altercation with an unknown woman earlier this week. He was released on a $20,000 bond.

On Friday, a source exclusively told Us that Kennedy’s arrest was based on “a complete misunderstanding.”

“They were arguing and a neighbor was outside and heard them fighting and called the police and the police officers came,” a source close to the situation told Us, referring to Kennedy and Lewber. The insider also claimed that Lewber does not plan to move forward with charges.

Kennedy and Lewber have been together since 2022. Several hours ahead of Kennedy’s arrest, the pair stepped out at Kathy Hilton‘s Christmas party in Los Angeles.

Ally Lewber Slams Claims James Kennedy Has Been Abusive Toward Her

An eyewitness exclusively told Us that Kennedy appeared to be “in great spirits” during one portion of the party.

“[James] and Ally were cuddling together and taking photos,” the source told Us. “He seemed like he was in a good headspace and was dancing, singing and having fun.”

A second insider, however, claimed that Kennedy was “running” through the party, “causing a scene.”

“His guy friend was chasing him from Kathy’s basement all the way throughout Kathy’s backyard, and James looked mad while running away,” the second source alleged to Us. “The guy who was chasing him almost fell into the pool and dropped a lantern in the pool causing a huge scene. Everyone was wondering what was going on.”

James Kennedy's Most Controversial Moments: Fired From SUR, Arrest and More

Nick Viall, for his part, appeared to corroborate the account, claiming on his eponymous podcast that he witnessed Kennedy “barking orders” at his friend during the party. (Kennedy has not reacted to the claims. Us reached out for comment.)

“I was, like, [shocked] and his friend just grabbed the drink and James kept walking. I was like, ‘That was insane,’” Viall, 44, alleged. “Ten minutes earlier, I met this guy who he introduced as his best friend and then, 10 minutes later, he’s barking orders,” Viall said on Thursday’s episode. 

Lewber has not publicly addressed the incident. Us has reached out for comment.

Timothée Chalamet is taking Method dressing to the next level.

The actor, 28, recreated Bob Dylan’s look from a 2003 Sundance Film Festival event at the premiere of A Complete Unknown in New York City on Friday, December 13.

Chalamet plays a younger version of Dylan, 83, in the biopic of the legendary musician. He showed up to the SVA Theatre sporting sandy blond hair with bangs — a wig, apparently — that specifically nodded to Dylan’s hairstyle at the Sundance photo-call for the drama Masked and Anonymous, in which the rock icon starred. 

Like Dylan at the time, Chalamet wore a black leather jacket atop a red-and-blue plaid shirt — accessorizing with a black and gray scarf as well as a blue knit hat that covered those bronze locks. But while Dylan’s mustache was graying in the photo that inspired Chalamet’s sartorial tribute, the Dune star kept his facial hair dark — just like his original hair color.

Timothee Chalamet Sings as Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’ Biopic Trailer

Earlier this month, Dylan officially weighed in on the biopic via X, writing, “Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.”

He continued: “The film’s taken from Elijah Wald’s Dylan Goes Electric — a book that came out in 2015. It’s a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport. After you’ve seen the movie read the book.”

Though it was unclear whether Dylan had seen the film, his praise warmed Chalamet’s heart. In response, Chalamet gushed, “Floored. I am so grateful. Thank you Bob.”

He also posted a screenshot of Dylan’s tweet via his Instagram Story on Thursday, December 5. “Screaming crying laughing screaming laughing pooping screaming crying,” he wrote alongside the snap. “THANK YOU BOB!!!! DREAM COME TRUE!!!!”

The Best Music Biopics of All Time: From ‘Selena’ to ‘Elvis’

A Complete Unknown, which hits theaters Christmas Day, follows Dylan from the beginning of his career in 1960s New York to his famous electric guitar performance of “Like a Rolling Stone” at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

Dylan is not directly involved with the project, though director James Mangold told Rolling Stone last month that he sat down with the singer-songwriter multiple times before filming began.

“Bob would have these one-off lines that were so fantastic,” Chalamet told the outlet in a joint interview with Mangold, 60. “Jim has an annotated Bob script lying around somewhere. I’ll beg him to get my hands on it. He’ll never give it to me.”

Mangold noted that he “felt like Bob just wanted to know what I was up to,” adding, “’Who is this guy? Is he a s—head? Does he get it?’ — I think the normal questions anyone asks when they’re throwing themselves in league with someone.”

The investigation into Liam Payne’s death could soon result in the arrests of two men who allegedly supplied the singer with drugs.

Police could arrest Braian Nahuel Paiz and Ezequiel Pereyra during the holiday season, a court reporter claimed to Us Weekly on Wednesday, December 11. Both are alleged to have provided Payne with cocaine before he died on October 16 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Paiz, a suspect whom Payne met at the restaurant where Paiz works as a waiter, previously denied supplying drugs to the musician in a November 9 interview with Argentina’s Telefe Noticias. He claimed that Payne “was already under the effects of drugs” as the two swapped information and later met up at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel, where Payne was staying. “We took drugs together, but I never took drugs to him or accepted any money,” Paiz alleged.

Pereyra is an employee at CasaSur alongside hotel manager Gilda Martin and Esteban Reynaldo Grassi, the hotel’s head of security. Martin and Grassi are also facing charges of involuntary manslaughter in connection with Payne’s passing, the source told Us on Wednesday.

Suspect in Liam Payne's Death Denies Supplying Singer With Drugs

Javier Mozo, a reporter at América TV, claimed earlier on the Argentine news station that there are “22 forensic examinations on different cell phones and laptops that the court has requested for the cybercrime division of the city police to investigate. In particular — and pay attention to this detail — there is one forensic piece that investigators and the court find highly significant,” he said. “It concerns the DVR of this restaurant, which is right next door but shares a backyard area with CasaSur.”

According to Mozo, investigators “are trying to see how he fell — this sounds harsh, but it’s the truth — they are trying to understand the seconds before Liam Payne’s body ended up on the ground. It’s public knowledge that his head hit the base of an umbrella. But what they want to determine are the immediate moments before Payne fell from the third floor to the ground floor.”

After the tragedy, Buenos Aires emergency services chief Alberto Crescenti stated that the 31-year-old One Direction star suffered “serious injuries” that first responders were unable to treat by the time they arrived on the scene at the hotel.

Payne’s preliminary autopsy report stated that he died from multiple injuries involving “internal and external hemorrhage” and suffered “multiple traumas” that contributed to his death.

ABC News later reported that a partial autopsy revealed Payne had “pink cocaine” — a recreational drug that typically mixes methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA — as well as cocaine, benzodiazepine and crack in his system at the time of his death.

The prosecutor’s office announced on November 7 that three individuals were charged with abandonment leading to death and the supply and facilitation of narcotics in connection to Payne’s passing.

5 Men to Be Questioned in Liam Payne Death Investigation Later This Month

Prosecutor Andrés Esteban Madrea had requested the arrests of the three people in a 180-page indictment submitted by Judge Laura Graciela Bruniard.

“The first defendant, a companion of the artist during his stay in Buenos Aires, has been charged with abandonment leading to death — a crime under Article 106 of the Criminal Code, punishable by five to 15 years in prison — in conjunction with the supply and facilitation of narcotics,” the statement read.

The statement continued, “The second defendant, a hotel employee, is charged with providing Payne cocaine on two occasions while he stayed at the hotel, and the third defendant, also a narcotics supplier, is charged with two additional confirmed instances of cocaine supply on October 14. Both are charged with narcotics supply.”

The forensic team also ruled out “self-harm or third-party involvement” in connection with Payne’s death and noted that his “lack of defensive posture upon impact suggests [he] may have fallen in a semi- or fully unconscious state.”

Following the indictment, Payne’s friend Rogelio “Roger” Nores denied being involved in the incident despite visiting the singer’s hotel the day of his death.

“I never abandoned Liam. I went to his hotel three times that day and left 40 minutes before this happened,” Nores told the Daily Mail in a November 7 statement. “There were over 15 people at the hotel lobby chatting and joking with him when I left. I could have never imagined something like this would happen.”

Hotel Workers to Be Interrogated, Could Be Charged in Liam Payne Death

Nores added that he was “heartbroken” by the tragedy and has been “missing my friend every day.”

A report by Rolling Stone on Tuesday, December 10, revealed that a judge was weighing charges against a hotel manager (ostensibly Martin) as well as the receptionist who called 911.

The publication also reported that the receptionist — who made two 911 calls the morning Payne died — is still working at the hotel. Rolling Stone shared details from the 911 call, where the receptionist told dispatchers that a guest had “too many drugs and alcohol” and was “trashing the entire room.”

There was also apparently a second 911 call made in which the receptionist stated that one guest’s life “may be in danger.”

“Are you sending the police as well, or not?” he asked in the second call, per Rolling Stone, asking the dispatcher to “just” send SAME, which is Argentina’s emergency medical service.

The woman on the other end of the call screamed, saying, “Oh my god, it’s so beautiful!”

Gomez, 32, and Blanco, 36, collaborated together on a handful of songs — including her 2015 hit “Same Old Love” — before becoming romantically involved in 2023. After sparking dating rumors with Blanco, Gomez confirmed their relationship in December 2023, revealing that they had been together for “six months.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are 'Ready to Settle Down' Together

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”

The following month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Gomez had “never been with anyone like” Blanco.

“She loves how Benny treats her: he’s so kind and thoughtful,” the insider said in January. “It’s been a very long time since friends saw Selena this happy. She’s positively glowing.”

In February, Gomez explained why Blanco is The One. “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” she explained in an interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.”

Taylor Swift Agrees to ‘Be the Flower Girl’ in Selena Gomez’s Wedding

She added: “But I’d have to say, overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”

As for Blanco, he could not contain his joy about being with Gomez. “I wake up every day and I look in the mirror, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’” he joked on Today With Hoda and Jenna in May. “But until anyone figures it out, weeeee!”

Taylor Swift has agreed to be the “flower girl” in Selena Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco.

A giddy Gomez, 32, announced her engagement to Blanco, 36, via Instagram on Wednesday, December 11, flashing her diamond ring and writing “forever begins now.. .” 

Shortly afterward, Swift — Gomez’s longtime friend — surfaced in the comment section of her post.

“Yes I will be the flower girl,” the songstress wrote, triggering nearly 60,000 “likes” in the span of just 20 minutes. 

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco Are Engaged After More Than 1 Year of Dating

Swift, 34, and Gomez have shared a close bond for more than 15 years. They originally crossed paths in 2008 on a double date with Joe Jonas and Nick Jonas, respectively.

“We actually dated the Jonas Brothers together! It was hysterical,” Gomez recalled during a 2017 radio interview. “It was amazing, because [Taylor] was the girl with the big curly hair and all the bracelets and the cowboy boots. And I was definitely up-and-coming, and we just clicked.”

Neither Swift nor Gomez found lasting love with Joe or Nick, but they found a supportive best friend in each other. The two women have often hyped up one another’s career achievements and shut down any trolls or feuds along the way.

“I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities,” Gomez told Rolling Stone in 2022. “My only friend in the industry really is Taylor, so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong. I felt the presence of everyone around me living full lives. I had this position, and I was really happy, but … was I? Do these materialistic things make me happy? I just didn’t like who I was, because I didn’t know who I was.”

Selena Defends BFF Taylor Swift After Resurfaced Hailey Bieber Diss

In April 2023, the Golden Globe-nominated actress brought little sister Gracie to Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour. The twosome sported their favorite respective Swiftie eras for the performance: Gomez dressed as Folklore for the event and Gracie — who was gifted a hat by the “All Too Well” artist during the show — rocked a purple Speak Now dress and ponytail.

“Thank you bestie for having me and my sissy transport into your mystical, euphoric and special world. Proud to know you! love you forever and always,” the Only Murders in the Building star penned via Instagram to her BFF.

Several months later, Gomez dropped her first new song in two years, titled “Single Soon.” 

Swift, for her part, took to Instagram to praise the record, writing, “When [your] bestie is the bestest. Will be dancing to this forever methinks.”

The following year, Gomez and Swift were all smiles while posing for a photo at the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards. Cameras later caught the duo gossiping about the events of the night with Miles Teller’s wife, Keleigh Teller.

After the footage went viral, Gomez explained via Instagram that she “told Taylor about two of my friends who hooked up. Not that that’s [anyone’s] business.”

Shawn Mendes has apparently addressed his love triangle with Camila Cabello and Sabrina Carpenter.

Without naming names, Mendes acknowledged past relationship drama in his appearance on the Thursday, December 12 episode of John Mayer’s SiriusXM show “How’s Life?”

“So, I’m with someone, [and] two days before going to hang with my ex, [I] express I’m going to hang with my ex because I have unresolved feelings,” the musician, 26, said in a video preview.

Mendes now thinks that instead of giving two days’ notice, he should have let her know “two weeks” ahead of time. 

MTV Just Confirmed Shawn Mendes for the VMAs: Why Us Is Freaking Out

“Is there something in all of this that you could say, ‘Yeah, I played that wrong?’” Mayer, 47, asked his guest. 

In response, Mendes shared his biggest life lesson: “No one gets out of this life without getting hurt and no one gets out of this life without hurting someone.”

Mendes and Cabello, 27, dated from 2019 to 2021 after years of friendship. In February 2023, Mendes was first spotted with Carpenter, 25, and that March, the twosome attended the Vanity Fair Oscars Party separately. Entertainment Tonight reported that they were an item, but Mendes denied that he was dating Carpenter.

Mendes subsequently rekindled his relationship with Cabello after they were seen kissing at Coachella in April 2023. Mendes and Cabello ultimately split for good in June 2023, with a source exclusively telling Us Weekly at the time that Cabello was the one who “decided to end things” and Mendes was “very upset” that they could not make it work.

Shawn Mendes Seemingly Leaves 2024 VMAs Early After Joking About 'Funeral'

Carpenter’s fans noticed apparent nods to the situation on her latest album Short n’ Sweet. For one, the title refers to “some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I’ve ever had and they affected me the most,” she told Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.

The lyrics of the song “Coincidence” addressed a man who got back together with his ex shortly after a split.

“The second I put my head on your chest / She knew, she’s got a real sixth sense,” Carpenter sang. “Now her name comes up once, then it comes up twice / And without her even bein’ here, she’s back in your life / Now she’s in the same damn city on the same damn night.”

The music video for “Taste” fanned the flames with Jenna Ortega starring as the girlfriend of Carpenter’s ex-boyfriend. 

Shawn Mendes Seemingly References Ex Camila Cabello in VMAs Performance

The single sent a message to an ex’s new girlfriend with the lines, “I heard you’re back together and if that’s true / You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you / If you want forever, I bet you do / Just know you’ll taste me too.”

In an awkward moment, Mendes performed during September’s MTV Video Music Awards and soon after he left the stage, Carpenter followed up with a medley that included “Taste” as well as her hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.”

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is speaking out about the robbery at his home that involved rumored girlfriend Olivia Ponton.

“So obviously everybody has heard what has happened. I feel like my privacy has been violated in more ways than one,” Burrow, 28, said Wednesday, December 11 in a press conference, per Sports Illustrated. “And way more is already out there than I would want out there and that I care to share, so that’s all I got to say about that.” 

When asked if he was frustrated by details of his personal life being revealed, Burrow responded, “That’s part of it. We live a public life and one of my least favorite parts of that is the lack of privacy. And that has been difficult for me to deal with my entire career. Still learning. But I understand it’s the life that we choose. Doesn’t make it any easier to deal with.”

According to a police report obtained by TMZ Sports, a call was made about a burglary at Burrow’s Ohio home around 8:14 p.m. ET on Monday, December 9, while Burrow and the Bengals were in Texas to play the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. 

Who Is Olivia Ponton? What to Know About SI Model Linked to Joe Burrow

The report names Ponton, 22, as the individual who was on the scene at Burrow’s home when deputies arrived. 

The Sports Illustrated model told authorities she noticed a “shattered bedroom window” and that a room had been “ransacked.”

The model called her mother, Diane, who then called 911. 

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

Olivia Ponton Had Separate Scary Encounter Days Before Joe Burrow Robbery

Burrow and Ponton have not publicly addressed their relationship status, though rumors about the duo have swirled since the summer. 

“She’s wondering what she should do, if she should be hiding or if she should be going outside,” continued Ponton’s mother, who said an intruder was inside the house. 

Ponton also made a separate call to 911 on her own, telling a dispatcher, “Someone broke into my house.”

“It’s just, like, completely messed up,” she added. 

In the police report, Ponton is listed as being “employed by Mr. Burrow.” On the scene, Ponton gave officers “a non-detailed itemization of what items were possibly missing.”

Two days before the robbery, Ponton took to TikTok to share a strange experience she had with a delivery driver. 

“Never put your real name or a photo of yourself on Uber, Uber Eats, Lyft, DoorDash, any of it,” Ponton told her 7 million followers. “Let this be your sign. Matter of fact, change it to a guy’s name. Jason, Jake, John. Anything. And just delete the photo. Let this be your f—ing sign.”

The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Mary Cosby says her son Robert Jr. is doing well after his stay in a rehabilitation facility for substance abuse issues.

“He did go to rehab. He stayed for a month. He completed it. He did an excellent job. He came out a new person,” Mary, 52, said during her Wednesday, December 4, appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. 

She confirmed that Robert Jr.’s wife, Alexiana Cosby, “also went to rehab. And you know what? She’s still in there.”

Mary told WWHL host Andy Cohen that Robert Jr., 21, “is doing so good. I am so proud of him. So proud of him.”

Mary Cosby Says Her Son Is 'Steady' After 'Heavy' Season of 'RHOSLC'

While Real Housewives is known for its laugh-out-loud levity and over-the-top drama, Mary and her son shared a genuinely serious moment together on the November 27 episode of the Salt Lake City franchise. Robert Jr., whom she shares with husband Robert Cosby, came clean about his substance abuse and mental health struggles, explaining that sometimes he feels like “life is just chicken unseasoned.”

“When I get high, it’s like adding seasoning to it,” he said while Mary listened to him through tears. 

Robert Jr. said that he was introduced to Xanax at a party, then “started buying it. Then, I started doing Xanax with Acid and then Molly with Xanax. I really like Xanax so I mix it with everything. Xanax and cocaine.”

Robert Jr. continued, “You know the regular 30mg Oxys? I noticed … this was, like, a turning point for me. I was taking 10 at once and I couldn’t even feel it.”

Mary started crying, telling her son that she would never “judge” him.

“I can try and help you but you have to help yourself because I am not going to support it,” she told him on camera. “Do you accept that you’re having a problem?”

Robert Jr. also told Mary that “wanted to die” at one point in his life and Mary was the “only reason” he didn’t commit suicide.

“I just felt like a stain,” he said. “I just felt like this world wasn’t for me.”

Mary Cosby Reveals Why Husband Robert Sr. Isn’t on ‘RHOSLC’ Anymore

That moment struck a chord with Bravo fans, including actress Bridget Everett, who appeared as a WWHL guest alongside Mary on Wednesday.

“I just felt like everything you said was the right thing to say to him,” Everett, 52, told Mary. “He could not have dreamt for better support.”

Cosby told Cohen, 56, and Everett that her conversation with Robert Jr. “wasn’t planned. … We just came together, Robert and I, and I said, ‘We’re gonna do this because we’re gonna help someone.’”

“He didn’t plan what he was gonna say and I didn’t plan. And I just said what I felt,” she added, crying as Cohen held her hand.
