Many A-List actors and actresses have been candid about various movies where the salary didn’t match the role.

Hilary Swank starred in the 1999 film Boys Don’t Cry, receiving her first Academy Award for the performance . While Swank was applauded for her peers, she only received a salary of $3,000.

Meanwhile, when Jamie Lee Curtis was cast in the original Halloween film at age 19 in 1978, she received only $8,000. In addition to the money she received from acting, she also was tasked with staying on a $200 budget for her character’s wardrobe.

Keep scrolling to see what other stars have received shockingly low salaries in some big name movies:

Sean William Scott

While Sean William Scott had his breakout role in American Pie as Steve Stifler, his initial paycheck doesn’t match up to what the now cult classic is worth. Scott earned $8,000 for the entire movie, which ended up grossing $235 million at the box office.

“I think so, yeah, because I remember afterward I bought a used Thunderbird for like $5,000 or maybe $6,000, I’m like, ‘Oh yeah, baby,’” Scott said of what he did with his earnings during a March 2022 appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. “I don’t know what happened to the other $2,000 because I ended up having to work at the LA Zoo as a churro guy, so maybe it was even less than $8,000.”

Ryan Reynolds

Before making Deadpool a household name, Reynolds confessed that his paycheck was not all that it appeared to be while filming the first superhero flick.

“No part of me was thinking when Deadpool was finally greenlit that this would be a success,” the actor said in a July 2024 interview with The New York Times. “I even let go of getting paid to do the movie just to put it back on the screen. They wouldn’t allow my cowriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick on set, so I took the little salary I had left and paid them to be on set with me so we could form a de facto writers room.”

Christopher Lee

Lee starred in the 1973 film, The Wicker Man, and opted not to take a salary so the movie could get made.

“I got paid nothing. I keep repeating to people and they don’t believe it’s true,” he said in the 2001 documentary The Wicker Man Enigma, per The Independent. “If they paid me my normal fee – and everyone else their normal fees – they wouldn’t have been able to make the film.”

Hilary Swank

“So when I did Boys Don’t Cry, I was 24 years old. I made $3,000. In order to have health insurance, you have to make $5,000. So I didn’t even know that I didn’t have health insurance until I went and tried to get a prescription filled,” Swank recalled during an October 2016 appearance on Chelsea Handler’s Netflix self-titled talk show. “They said, ‘That’s $160.’ I went, ‘Um, did you try my insurance?’ They said, ‘Mmm-hmm.’ I had an Academy Award, no health insurance.”

Ethan Hawke

Hawke shared in an June 2013 interview with Entertainment Weekly that while working on The Purge he didn’t have a big salary and even “slept on the producers’ couch” throughout the filming. The actor confessed that he believed in the horror’s premise and wanted to be a part of it no matter the cost.

“I’ve never really prioritized making money that way. I decided months ago that I loved The Purge and I felt it was a cool movie,” he said. “I would love it [even] if it bombed. I’ve had so few movies ever make money in my 20-year career. I’ve learned not to care about it.”

Jeff Daniels

While Daniels starred in Dumb and Dumber alongside Jim Carrey, the Newsroom alum allegedly had a significantly smaller salary. Daniels made $50,000 while Carrey reportedly received $7 million. The writer-director duo Bobby and Peter Farrelly recalled to The Hollywood Reporter in November 2014 how the movie studio didn’t want to cast Daniels in the role due to his lack of a comedic background, despite the Farrelly brothers wanting him to get the role.

“The studio didn’t want him. They said, ‘Please, anyone but him. Get a comedic actor,’” Bobby said. “So they offered him, if I recall, 50 grand, which was, you know, Jim’s getting seven mil, they offered him 50 figuring he’ll say, ‘No, I’m not taking that,’ but he took it.”

Jamie Lee Curtis

“I made $8,000. I made $2,000 a week, which at the time was a fortune,” Curtis told People magazine in October 2018 of her original Halloween salary and added that the crew was small and young. “20 people, maybe 15. The oldest person was 30. Every other person was under 30. It was magic. A friend of somebody cooked the food each day and we all ate on the ground together.”

In addition to acting, Curtis also got a $200 budget for her character’s clothing which she used at JCPenney.

Nick Castle

Much like Curtis, Castle — who played the infamous Michael Meyer — did not have a big salary on Halloween but he found the on set experience to be much richer.

“I was paid $25 per day for Halloween. That was a lot at the time!” he recalled to Vanity Fair in October 2018. “You have to remember: my interest in doing the film was being on set, so I could demystify the experience of filmmaking and directing. I expected to hang around the set for no money. But hey, $25 per day, and all I had to do was wear a rubber mask.”

Taraji P. Henson

While working on The Curious Case of Benjamin Button alongside Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, Henson was initially offered $100,000 for her role despite asking for $500,000. After some negotiating, Henson received $150,000 for the role which earned her an Academy Award nomination.

“I want to make this very clear — I’m not saying that Brad or Cate shouldn’t have gotten what they got. They put asses in seats, so give them their money. They deserve it. I’m not saying they shouldn’t get what they’re getting,” Henson reflected in an April 2019 interview with Variety. “I was just asking for half a million — that’s all. That’s it. When I was doing Benjamin Button, I wasn’t worth a million yet. My audience was still getting to know me. We thought we were asking for what was fair for me, at the time.”

Rebel Wilson

Before Pitch Perfect, Wilson appeared in Bridesmaids. In her memoir, Rebel Rising, Wilson revealed she made $3500 for her scenes with costars Kristen Wiig and Matt Lucas. The amount was the minimum required for her to be able to join the SAG-AFTRA union, which was enough for Wilson.

Terrence Howard

Howard claimed that in addition to having a small salary for his leading role in the 2005 film Hustle & Flow he also didn’t get any royalties for his singing.

“I made $12,000 for doing Hustle & Flow,” the actor said in a November 2023 interview with WREG News Channel 3. “What Paramount did, instead of putting my name as Terrence Howard performing the songs, they put ‘performed by DJay.’ Well, they owned DJay, so guess what? The performance royalties went to Paramount,” he claimed.

Jennifer Lopez

Lopez revealed that she opted not to take a salary for her performance in Hustlers. However, she did produce the crime comedy.

“I didn’t get paid a whole bunch of money for Hustlers,” she said in a November 2019 interview with GQ. “I did it for free and produced it. Like Jenny From the Block — I do what I love.”

Adam Levine

The Maroon 5 frontman made his acting debut in the 2013 rom-com Begin Again and ultimately decided to do it for free.

“I did this movie for no money. I’m very lucky that I’m in that position,” Levine said in an interview with USA Today in June 2014. “I want to have good experiences. I don’t want to do a bunch of s— that I hate. I want to treat [acting] completely differently because I have the very fortunate luxury of not having to think of this in terms of money.”

George Clooney

Clooney got paid $1 each for writing, directing, and acting in Good Night, and Good Luck, earning a total of $3. The actor later shared that his desire to do the movie was inspired by his father’s work ethic as a journalist.

“It’s me saying [to my father], ‘Thanks for setting the bar that high, for believing so strongly in the responsibility of information,’ and taking it to the level where it cost him a lot of things over the years,” Clooney reflected to the LA Times in September 2005. “There were jobs he left because he wasn’t willing to compromise.”

What Is Jessica Alba's Honest Company Worth Amid Cash Warren Divorce?

Jessica Alba is not only a successful actress but also a businesswoman thanks to her brand, The Honest Company — but her estranged husband, Cash Warren, has links to the brand as well.

Alba, 43, founded the personal care brand in 2011 which started off with a focus on baby products. The Honest Company launched the following year with 17 products that were initially sold on its website and in various Whole Foods and Costco locations. It later expanded into home care products.

In 2014, the brand was added to Target, Buy Buy Baby and Nordstrom shelves. As The Honest Company expanded, so did its profits. It was valued at $1 billion at the time.

Two years later, Forbes estimated Alba’s net worth was around $340 million due to the success of The Honest Company. However, Forbes retracted their report in 2021.

Jessica Alba’s Honest Company: A History of Ups and Downs

“Even at the high end of the pricing range, Alba’s 6% stake (including options) would only be worth just under $100 million,” the publication stated at the time. “That is far less than the $340 million Forbes estimated she was worth when we estimated her stake to be 20% and put her on our 2016 list of America’s most successful self-made women.”

That same year, The Honest Company officially filed for an initial public offering on the stock market. The business was valued around $1.4 billion at the time. According to an SEC filing in 2021, Alba’s salary for the following year was set at $700,000.

After being behind the brand for more than a decade, Alba announced in April 2024 that she was stepping down as Chief Creative Officer. She remains on the Honest Company’s board of directors.

“Building Honest has been a true labor of love,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “From the first concept book I pitched to my friends in Mommy and Me class, to ringing the bell at Nasdaq with my family by my side – this journey has been the ride of a lifetime, one that only existed in my wildest dreams…”

At the time of her exit, The Honest Company was valued at $363 million. According to a December 2024 SEC filing, Alba and Warren, 45, both have voting and investment power as trustees over the shares held by the Warren Trust.

Currently, the Honest Company is valued at around $609 million, significantly less than the $1.7 billion value it had at the time it went public.

News broke earlier this week that Alba and Warren called it quits after 16 years of marriage. TMZ reported on Wednesday, January 8, that the pair are preparing to file for divorce. Us Weekly reached out to reps for Alba and Warren for comment at the time.

The Traitors' Britney and Danielle's 'Big Brother' Drama Explained

The Traitors' Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes' 'Big Brother' History and Drama Explained

Britney Haynes and Danielle Reyes had a lot of history before stepping into The Traitors mansion.

Danielle cemented herself as a Big Brother legend after becoming the runner up on season 3 which aired in 2002. The real estate manager returned to the show four years later in its All-Stars season where she came in sixth place.

Britney, for her part, joined the CBS competition series for season 12 which premiered in 2010. While the real estate agent came in fourth place, she won the hearts of fans thanks to her witty commentary. She was voted America’s Favorite Player and was asked back for season 14 as a coach alongside season 7 winner Mike “Boogie” Malin and fellow Traitors alums Dan Gheesling and Janelle Pierzina. (Britney and Janelle also competed on The Amazing Race together as a team.)

While Danielle and Britney never played Big Brother’s traditional format together, they have been connected over the years as they formed a friendship as fellow alums. During the season 25 premiere in 2023, the women met for the first time when they made a cameo to break into the Big Brother house alongside Frankie Grande.

‘The Traitors’ Season 3 Cast Includes Sandoval, Chrishell and Gabby Windey

That same year, Britney and Danielle were reunited as they faced off on Big Brother’s holiday-themed competition show Reindeer Games. While the women were working together at first, Britney played a role in Danielle’s dramatic elimination. Danielle and Britney’s friendship has since turned into a feud following the betrayal.

While it’s been two years since the drama went down, the wound reopened when the women both joined the cast of The Traitors season 3. In a sneak peek of the January 9 premiere, fans got a brief glimpse into Britney and Danielle having an intense face-to-face chat about their past drama.

Danielle’s ‘Big Brother’ Legacy

Throughout the history of Big Brother, Danielle has been dubbed the best player to never win the game. Danielle changed the course of the game following her devastating season 3 loss. She was best known for her strategic prowess and candid demeanor in the diary room. At the time, the jury returned home to watch the season unfold.

After seeing Danielle’s confessionals, a majority of the voted out players felt bitter over her remarks and ultimately voted against her. She received one vote from her loyal ally Jason Guy while Lisa Donahue took home the cash prize. Following season 3, Big Brother began sequestering their jury members.

Danielle returned for Big Brother’s first All-Stars season in 2006, and she was immediately targeted for being a strategic player. However, she aligned with Boogie, Dr. Will Kirby, James Rhine and Erika Landin. Danielle was evicted as the fourth member of the jury.

17 years later, Danielle came out of her Big Brother retirement to participate in Reindeer Games.

Britney’s ‘Big Brother’ Legacy

Like Danielle, Britney has appeared on two Big Brother seasons. Britney became a fan favorite during her first appearance in season 12. She was best known for her wisecracks and joking commentary. Her legacy has lived on with her iconic lines including, “I lost my dignity on a slippery wiener,” and “You’re a homosapien, Brendon. You’re not a wizard!”

Britney returned to Big Brother two seasons later as a coach where she played alongside Dan and Janelle. Britney became collateral damage following Dan’s legendary funeral move and voted out. She became the second member of the jury.

Britney then took an 11-year break from Big Brother before joining the Reindeer Games cast.

Britney, Danielle and Frankie appeared in the season 25 premiere, which aired in 2023, to introduce the season’s twist. In the bit, the trio broke into the Big Brother house to use a time laser so they could change their fate from their respective seasons. But in true Big Brother fashion, the trio’s plan backfired and they accidentally created the BB Multiverse twist for the incoming houseguests.

What Went Down on ‘Reindeer Games’

Everything to Know About Big Brother Reindeer Games 989

After season 25 wrapped up, Britney and Danielle were reunited to compete in the holiday-themed competition series. As players from the older seasons, Britney and Danielle gravitated towards each other and wanted to form a women’s alliance. While the duo had the best of intentions for each other, an unfortunate instance in a competition fractured their dynamic.

In episode three, the remaining competitors were tasked with completing a puzzle during the Santa’s Showdown elimination challenge. It featured a knockout format as the first participant got five minutes and thirty seconds to finish the puzzle. If the puzzle was solved before time ran out, the player was safe. However, the next person would have significantly less time on the clock.

Nicole Franzel had won a challenge earlier in the day which gave her safety in the competition but she was tasked with picking who should go first. She ultimately chose Frankie who finished the puzzle quickly. Frankie subsequently chose Xavier Prather to go next. Despite struggling with the puzzle, Xavier completed the challenge with seconds to spare. The lawyer was convinced whoever went next would automatically go home.

Both Britney and Danielle begged their fellow competitors not to send them in as they knew they were not good at Big Brother challenges in the past. Xavier, who was secretly aligned with Danielle, decided to take a shot at Britney.

Britney went into the puzzle already thinking she would be sent home. However, she surprised herself — and the other players — when she was victorious with plenty of time to spare. After learning from Xavier that he was working with Danielle, Britney felt betrayed that she was not included in their deal. While Taylor Hale volunteered to go into the puzzle next, Britney decided to pick Danielle instead. Danielle went into the challenge and gave it her all. She lost by a few seconds, making her the third boot.

What Did Danielle Say After ‘Reindeer Games’?

After her exit, Danielle opened up about how hurt she was by Britney’s decision to send her in.

“She was my person. The person that I was wanting to go to the finals with was Britney,” Danielle said to Entertainment Weekly in December 2023. “And so when she put me in, it was very shocking. So I think that’s probably why I didn’t do so well in the comp, because I couldn’t get my head around that this friend of mine put me in this game knowing that I was not going to come back.”

Danielle explained that she had an “undying love” for Britney outside of the game and was hurt by the blindside.

“When I came out of the house, I just didn’t understand why she did what she did. And it was like I kept playing it in my head. I was like, ‘What happened?’ So yeah, that’s how I dealt with it,” she reflected. “I understand she did it for game purposes, and she said she had thoughts or feelings about me in the house, but again, my feelings were based on my relationship outside the game. So that’s where I stand with her decision making. Like I said, I was hurt. I was taken aback by it.”

What Did Britney Say After ‘Reindeer Games’?

Britney ended up coming in 5th place in the Reindeer Games. Following her elimination, she explained her thought process about why she decided to target Danielle.

“It was not always going to be Danielle. However, Danielle was on my radar as far as I did not trust that she was really working with me and the girls alliance as much as I thought she was working with that four-person alliance,” Britney said in a December 2023 interview with Entertainment Weekly. “I felt that they were much tighter, that they were a much more secure alliance. And as you can see, watching it back, it’s even more evident to me now than it even felt in the moment.”

Britney confessed that she thought Danielle was doing a “really good job socially” and didn’t think anyone else would choose to target her.

“We were both trying to do the same thing socially. And I saw if someone at some point could save me or Danielle, they’re going to save Danielle every single time,” she said. “And so as much as I wanted to work with her — and if I could have had the opportunity to shake a snow globe, Danielle would’ve been in my final four — seeing how well she was doing socially and seeing how we were playing a similar type game, I knew she would always be a preference for safety over me. Because I had started winning competitions and she had done the work socially.”

Zach Bryan Slams Trolls for 'Attacking' His Friends: 'Weird as Hell'

Zach Bryan Goes Off

Zach Bryan is coming to his friends’ defense after claiming they’ve been attacked online following his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia.

“All of you f—in weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you’re assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science,” Bryan, 28, wrote via a lengthy Instagram Story rant on Thursday, January 9. “Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don’t want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile you’re calling my friends ugly and harassing them?”

Bryan added that he wasn’t searching for “sympathy” but wanted to condemn the “low and messed up” actions of going after his pals.

“Apparently I’ve [had] four different girlfriends in like two weeks, meanwhile my friends and me are just laughing and hanging out like we always have,” he wrote before clarifying his current relationship status. “I don’t have a girlfriend and don’t plan on having a girlfriend, however I do have normal friends that I love very much and would go to the ends of the earth for.”

Zach Bryan and Brianna Chickenfry’s Breakup: What Went Wrong?

Bryan continued his rant by encouraging others to “go give your attention and time to the literal city burning down,” seemingly referring to the ongoing Los Angeles fires.

“Stop being so sad and fickle and childish through screens. Last thing I’ll ever say on this. Insane I even have to,” he wrote. “You do not know me. You never will know me. Stop acting like you do.”

The singer added that instead of attacking people in his inner circle, his critics should speak about him instead because he can handle it.

“I am allowed to have love, laughter and good people in my life. No matter how bad of a person you think I am, go ahead and come for me. I can take all the hatred because I’m not a child,” he wrote in a subsequent Instagram Story. “But do not come for my friends who do nothing but love and care for me. Everyone wants you to have fun and make great music but you guys are making it really hard to do that with my friends getting insulted and death threats everyday.”

Bryan shared that he’s “worked really hard” for his success, but the constant chatter from social media makes him want to remain out of the spotlight.

“Whether you think I deserve it or not. Whether you think I suck or not. Stop being such sad and fat fingered internet sleuths to my friends,” he wrote. “We’re all humans and I’m so tired of people thinking social media is a way to have a moral high ground on people THEY’VE never met? Guess people aren’t humans any more since they can hide behind screens? Weird a–holes man ok I’m done.”

Bryan, in fact, was not done. He shared one more note stating that he didn’t want others to give him tips on how to “handle something or things they’ve never coped with” themselves.

“I lost my mother, I’ve been in war zones and I’ve battled this whole fame thing for five years. Respectfully, I don’t need your unsolicited advice, I am a grown man. I promise I can get through some little bullies on the internet,” he wrote. “I am so terrifyingly unphased by the fake s— people say about me online but coming for people I love and care for is my line and final straw.”

Brianna Chickenfry Says ‘Don’t Date Famous People’ in Pre-Recorded Podcast

Bryan ended his rant by stating he was “hopping off” of social media “for a bit.”

Bryan made headlines late last year following his dramatic breakup from LaPaglia, 25. In October 2024, Bryan shared that he and the Barstool Sports personality called it quits after dating for more than a year. LaPaglia claimed that she was “blindsided” by the musician’s public announcement.

LaPaglia took a break from social media following the breakup, and Bryan has been laying low. One month after the split, LaPaglia returned to her “BFFs” podcast, where she gave insight into her dynamic with Bryan and claimed she was “emotionally abused” by the musician. (Us Weekly reached out to Bryan’s team at the time and received no response.)

Kelly Clarkson’s Kids River and Remy Are All Grown Up in Talk Show Chat

Kelly Clarkson’s two children, River and Remy, are all grown up in their first interview on their mom’s talk show.

“Y’all may remember a couple weeks ago I had my kiddos River and Remy on set. That’s a cool perk we get as a family when the show tapes on a Saturday,” the singer, 42, said on the Wednesday, January 8 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show. “Like their mama, both my kids love singing. And when Remy got to set, he surprised us. He wanted his chance at the microphone, and he literally said, ‘Who do I have to talk to to sing my song?’ I was like, ‘OK,’ so of course, we made it happen.”

Last month, Remy, 8, went viral after Clarkson shared a snippet of her son singing the classic Frank Sinatra tune “My Way.” So Clarkson decided they were going to show the full video of Remy’s performance. In the clip, Remy took the stage and sang his heart out. As he belted out the power ballad, Clarkson and River, 10, cheered him on from the wings. After the song was done, Remy got a standing ovation from the audience. Clarkson ran over to him to give her son a big hug.

After showing the performance, Clarkson had a special treat for the audience as Remy and River were back in the studio.

Kelly Clarkson's Gushes Over 'Amazing' Kids After They Join Her Onstage

“I’m so stoked because both my kids are here again. Let’s bring them out, y’all,” Clarkson told the audience. “Everyone say hi to River and Remy!”

River and Remy walked out and gave their mom a hug before sitting down on the couch. The siblings were all made up for their big TV appearance. River rocked a black and white blouse with straight hair and bangs — similar to her mom’s iconic look. Remy, for his part, looked dashing in a green-striped blazer.

“Oh my god, look at you. You got makeup on and your hair is done,” Clarkson gushed. “This is not how we look at home.”

Clarkson then asked her son why he wanted to perform that particular song. Remy explained he just really liked it, especially after he saw it in Sing 2. Clarkson teased that she and River have gotten used to hearing “My Way” a lot at home.

“I can’t even count … how many times,” River teased of how often her brother belts out “My Way.”

Clarkson shared that she and River hear Remy practicing the song a lot because he’s gearing up to sing it at a couple events for his school. That was one of the main reasons why he wanted to give singing in front of a live audience a try. Kelly also shared Remy’s reaction after the snippet of the song went viral.

“I said, ‘Man buddy, you’ve got over a million views I think on your video,’” she recalled. “And he goes, ‘Do you get that many views?’ I was like, ‘Calm down — and not often.’”

Just like Remy, Clarkson noted that she can always hear her “country queen” daughter in her room practicing music. The American Idol winner turned it over to River to share what she likes to do musically. Just like her mom, she enjoys singing and writing music.

“I put that together in a journal that I forgot at home because I am a forgetter in my family,” River confessed. “But I do that a lot in my room, and I spend hours and hours and hours singing [and] trying to do a song.”

Clarkson proudly shared that River’s songs are “good.”

Clarkson shares both River and Remy with ex-husband Brandon Blackstock. The pair split in 2020 after nearly seven years of marriage.

Allison Holker Addresses 'Family and Friends' of tWitch Amid Book Backlash

Allison Holker explained her intention behind including personal details about late husband Stephen “tWitch” Boss in her upcoming memoir.

“To fans of Stephen and our family and friends, I want to be clear that my only intention in writing the book is to share my own story as well as part of my life with Stephen to help other people,” Holker, 36, wrote via her Instagram Story on Wednesday, January 8. “Just like you, I never really knew what happened, and even as I am trying to put the pieces together I will never really know.”

Holker shared that for the people who decide to pick up the book, titled This Far: My Story of Love, Loss, and Embracing the Light, she hopes they’ll be able to she intended to “celebrate the love and life” she and Boss had with their three children: daughters Wesley Renae and Zaia and son Maddox. (Boss died in December 2020 by suicide. He was 40 years old.)

“I hope that by sharing our full story maybe I can help someone else who might see themselves or a loved one in Stephen,” Holker continued. “In sharing I hope that maybe they can catch some of the red flags that I missed before it’s too late.”

Stephen 'tWitch' Boss' Family, Friends React to Allison Holker's Memoir

While writing the book, Holker shared that she’s spoken to multiple mental health nonprofits for the past “two years” to make sure she was able to write truthfully and accurately depict the tough subject matter. She also plans on giving the profits from the novel to the foundation she set up in Boss’ memory.

“My hope is that that we won’t need to lose another husband, brother, father, or friend to suicide,” she said “I believe that if Stephen were able to choose, he would choose to have his story told if it meant saving even one life. Much love to all those who have supported our family these many years.”

Earlier this week, Holker received backlash online after she revealed details from Boss’ life he never discussed publicly prior to his passing. Holker also confessed that she read Boss’ journals in an attempt to find closure after his death.

“Reading Stephen’s journals, and even going back into the books he had read and the things that he was highlighting and lining, really gave me a better perspective of where he was in life and the type of things he was struggling with,” she said in an interview with People on Tuesday, January 7. ”It did have me feel a lot of empathy towards him and sadness for all the pain that he was holding.”

Many of Boss’ family members and friends publicly slammed Holker after the article went live.

“Anyone who knows me, knows I go straight to the source during a conflict and handle my business,” Courtney Ann Platt, who appeared on So You Think You Can Dance alongside Holker, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday. “But since there’s clearly no shame in being so public, I haven’t said a word in two years but here I go. This is by far the most tacky, classless, opportunistic act I have ever seen in my entire life.”

Thank you for your understanding and please stay safe.”

Kailyn Lowry Reflects on ‘Body Dysmorphia’ Struggle After Plastic Surgery

Kailyn Lowry got real about struggling with her mental health and body dysmorphia following her recent decision to undergo plastic surgery.

“I had a very, very emotional morning, mainly just when I was taking a shower. I pray that my kids never struggle with their body images enough to mutilate their bodies to be skinny,” the Teen Mom 2 alum, 32, said in a Get Ready With Me Instagram Reel uploaded on Monday, January 6. “I think a little nip and tuck in terms of a nose job or a boob job is OK but to go through this to be skinny is [a] mental illness, truly. And I say that with the most respect to anyone going through it.”

Last month, Lowry revealed she underwent breast reduction surgery. In the Monday clip, she explained that her video marked the first time she was able to do her makeup since the procedure. She also shared that she was “finally able” to use the shower post-surgery without any assistance. While Lowry admitted that she feels “good” physically, most of the time she’s “struggling” mentally in the wake of her procedure.

“I’m struggling this time around. I don’t know if it’s cause I have a daughter now … not just my daughter, my sons too, I don’t want them to experience this level of body dysmorphia,” she reflected. “Like, I was basically willing to go to any length and do this over Christmas break to be skinny — even if that meant [fiancé] Elijah [Scott] couldn’t be there for me. Even if that meant I was in another state for Christmas. I was willing to go to any freaking length for it.”

Teen Mom’s Kailyn Lowry Asked to Lose Weight Before Getting Boob Job

Lowry confessed that when she went in for her breast reduction surgery, she was tempted to undergo additional procedures while under general anesthesia.

“I was going for a breast reduction and then I was like, ‘Oh, I should just add some lipo 360, add some tummy tuck in … my scars were fine,’” she recalled. “My old tummy tuck scar and c-section scar were fine. I realized I shouldn’t have put Elijah through all of this ’cause he couldn’t be there for me the whole time.”

Despite being on the mend, Lowry admitted she was having a “rough” time mentally but wanted to put a brave face on.

“I’m going to stop crying and I’m gonna suck it up for the rest of the day,” she said before issuing a warning to her followers. “Think once, think twice before you get plastic surgery and I hope everyone has a happy new year.”

Teen Mom's Kailyn Lowry Wants to Get 'Ozempic Shots' After Giving Birth

Many of Lowry’s fans flocked to the comments section to give her some much-needed words of encouragement.

“You’ve always looked great! At any size you’re just a gorgeous woman😍,” one user replied while another wrote, “You birthed literally 7 beautiful tiny humans, your body is incredible. I’m sorry you felt pressured to have to fix it. I hope you can learn to love you body, I know your children did 🤍.”

Lowry is a mom of seven. She shares son Issac, whom she welcomed in 2010 with Jo Rivera, son Lincoln, whom she welcomed in 2013 with Javi Marroquin, sons Lux and Creed, whom she welcomed in 2017 and 2020, respectively, with Chris Lopez. She also shares son Rio, who was born in 2022, and twins Verse and Valley, who arrived in January, with Elijah.

Nicolas Cage is the doting dad of three children.

Cage became a father for the first time in December 1990 when the actor welcomed son Weston with ex-girlfriend Christina Fulton. After Weston’s birth, Cage and Fulton were no longer romantically involved. Cage moved on with Patricia Arquette whom he was married to from 1995 to 2001 and the late Lisa Marie Presley from 2002 to 2004.

After his respective splits from Arquette and Presley, the National Treasure star became a dad again when he welcomed son Kal-El with his third wife, Alice Kim, in 2005. Kim and Cage tied the knot in 2004 after two months of dating. In 2016, they divorced after 12 years of marriage.

Five years later, Cage found love again with current wife Riko Shibata. The couple wed in February 2021. Us Weekly confirmed in September 2022 that Shibata and Cage had welcomed a daughter, August.

The Coppola Family Guide: From Sofia Coppola to Nicolas Cage

“Nicolas and Riko are happy to announce the birth of their daughter,” the pair said in a statement at the time. “Mother and daughter are doing fine.”

In July 2024, Cage opened up about being a dad and how he never expected to share his children with three different women.

“They’re all different experiences,” Cage said of his bond with his little ones to The New Yorker. “Each one has a different mother. It’s not what I had originally thought would happen when I fell in love or got married — that I would have three different children with three different moms — but nonetheless that’s what’s happened. So every child is different. There’s a different kind of level of attention.”

Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s Relationship Timeline

Sutton Foster and Hugh Jackman’s relationship was platonic before it blossomed into a romance.

While Foster and Jackman crossed paths as fellow members of the Broadway community, their camaraderie grew stronger when they were both cast in the 2022 revival of The Music Man. While sharing the stage for more than a year, Foster and Jackman grew close.

“He has an impeccable reputation of being the hardest working man, incredibly kind, and generous—and all of that is true. He disarms everyone, and he doesn’t make anything about him,” Foster gushed of her costar in a June 2022 interview with Vogue. “And he’s now become one of my best friends, which was a surprise, because you usually go into these things thinking, ‘Well, I hope we get along.’ But we just spent Memorial Day with our families. It’s really fun to meet new friends after 40.”

Both Jackman and Foster were in relationships with other people when they first met. The Deadpool and Wolverine actor was married to long-time love Deborra-Lee Furness, while Foster was married to Ted Griffin. In September 2023, Jackman and Furness announced they had separated after nearly three decades of marriage. The following year, Foster filed for divorce from Griffin.

In November 2024, Us Weekly reported that Jackman called it quits with Furness because of the actor’s “relationship” with Foster.

“A lot of people on Broadway knew, and we kept it quiet because both of them are so nice and great people,” a source exclusively told Us at the time. “Everyone respected their privacy. But there was an affair and overlap.”

Two months later, Jackman and Foster confirmed their romance while enjoying a date night out in Los Angeles.

Christina Hall and Josh Hall had an intense social media exchange regarding the drama on their new show, The Flip Off.

“TFW you can’t get enough ratings with celebrity 🏠designers so you manufactured drama with me, a nobody,” Josh, 44, wrote via his Instagram Story on Monday, January 6, seemingly referring to an intense exchange between the exes in the series’ trailer. “@hgtv, you’ve changed.”

Christina, 41, subsequently fired back at her estranged husband.

“Manufactured?! Pretty sure no one at Hgtv told you to be rude to me …” she responded via her own Instagram story alongside a screenshot of Josh’s post. “That was all natural.”

Josh Hall Tells Christina to Remember Her Last Name in Tense 'Flip Off' Clip

After defending herself and the show, Christina also shared a selfie she took from the set where she looked visibly upset.

“This was taken June 21, 2024. After one of my shoots with Josh,” she captioned the selfie of her crying. “This is ‘real’ and a reminder to myself that I deserve better.”

“This is a competition, you gotta pull out all stops. Whatever it takes to win, I’ll do it,” Josh told Christina in the video and proceeded to shout, “Halls rule!”

Christina was seemingly not amused with Josh’s antics and remained silent in the passenger seat. Josh then reminded her that they’re a team now. (In addition to Christina and Josh, The Flip Off also features Christina’s ex-husband Tarek El Moussa and his new wife, former Selling Sunset star Heather Rae El Moussa.)

“Don’t get confused in this competition about what your last name is,” he said, before calling Christina “rude.”

Why Christina Hall Was ‘Done’ in Her Marriage With Joshua Hall

Christina then shared that she simply doesn’t “over talk,” which seemingly upset Josh even more. “You know how much s— you say and I’m just like, ‘I wish you’d shut up already?’” he replied.

The trailer ended with Christina meeting up with Tarek, 43, who noticed instantly that something was off with his ex-wife.

“I know that look. What’s going on? You good?” Tarek asked. Christina pauses before revealing that she and Josh “officially split up.”

Christina and Josh tied the knot in April 2022. Before joining The Flip Off, the pair worked together on Christina in the Country, which followed Christina’s renovation projects in Tennessee. Josh also appeared on Christina on the Coast, which focused on the renovation work the HGTV star did in California.

Christina Hall Says Working With Husband Joshua on HGTV Is 'Challenging'

After Christina and Josh filed for divorce in July 2024, Josh’s role in The Flip Off was downgraded. Us Weekly confirmed at the time that since the series was “in production” already, Christina, Tarek and Heather, 37, were “moving forward with the show without” Josh.

Josh and Christina have yet to finalize their divorce and their legal proceedings are ongoing.

The Flip Off premieres on HGTV Wednesday, January 29, at 8 p.m. ET and available the same day to stream on Max and Discovery+.

Andy Cohen Weighs In on RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin’s Jersey Mike’s Drama

Andy Cohen has reacted to Jennifer Aydin’s feud with multiple Jersey Mike’s employees.

“That is what you will call … is the expression an unenforced foul or something, where you cause harm to yourself?” Cohen, 56, said of The Real Housewives of New Jersey star’s drama during the Monday, January 6, episode of his SiriusXM show Radio Andy. “Is that what that’s called?”

A person from behind the scenes corrected Cohen stating that the saying is an “unforced error.”

“An unforced error, thank you,” Cohen replied. “A self-inflicted wound.”

Why Does RHONJ’s Jennifer Aydin Have Drama With Jersey Mike's Workers?

Cohen was chatting with cohost John Hill about how Aydin, 47, uploaded a now-viral video of her apparent heated exchange with several Jersey Mike’s workers at an airport. Hill, 46, shared that it seemed like Aydin had a meltdown — which Cohen agreed.

“She melted down. And you know what, before you hit send on the post, take a beat and say, ‘How is this gonna land?’” Cohen reflected. “How are you going to cause so much trouble for yourself … You’re at the airport, you’re getting a sandwich … it’s just how is this gonna land?

Cohen also added that Aydin should have questioned how the scenario was going to “fly with the universe.” Hill noted that no matter what the situation was, a person should never speak down to someone who works in the service industry.

“Even if you’re pissed and you’re right and the person is wrong, it’s a customer service nightmare,” Hill explained. “Just like never be mean to a wait staff person … don’t mean to them it will get you nowhere.”

Cohen was in agreement with Hill’s take.

Aydin kicked off the new year by making headlines for her viral beef with the fast food chain. Aydin went on a rant via her Instagram Story, which has now been reshared across social media, where she claimed she was waiting for “what felt like forever.”

“They took our order and then they took the lady’s order that was after me but they fulfilled her order first somehow, made us wait,” Aydin claimed and called out “the 80-year-old” working at the establishment. “Everything was slow. We’re not complaining. We get it, it’s early in the morning. You’re in a bad mood, it’s New Year’s, you’re working — I’d be pissed too.”

‘RHONJ' Star Danielle Cabral Reacts to Jen Aydin’s Jersey Mike’s Drama

The drama didn’t stop there. After Aydin posted her complaints online, one of Jersey Mike’s employees from the Bravo star’s video took to TikTok to share the workers’ perspective.

“I really hope this stupid bitch has TikTok,” the employee began in her post. “I really hope I come up on your For You Page bitch, I really hope you recognize me.”

The worker claimed that Aydin was unsure of what she wanted when placing her order of “four different sandwiches.” According to the employee, Aydin changed “the bread last minute” which allegedly caused the “entire line” to start “backing up.” Aydin was allegedly asked by other staff members to get back in line if she was going to continue adding sandwiches. Us Weekly reached out to Aydin for comment at the time.

Martin Short couldn’t help but marvel at Selena Gomez’s engagement ring at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards.

According to social media footage shared by E! News on Sunday, January 5, Short, 74, sat next to Gomez, 32, at the awards show. While the Only Murders in the Building costars chatted at their table, Short held Gomez’s hand and twirled her sparkler.

As Short admired Gomez’s accessory, the pair continued to talk. As they conversed, Martin continued to play with the band.

Gomez, Short and Steve Martin attended the Golden Globes on Sunday as OMTIB was up for four awards. All three stars received individual nominations while the Hulu series was up for Best Television Series, Musical or Comedy. OMITB ultimately lost to Hacks while Gomez, Short and Martin also did not take home the trophy in their respective categories.

Selena Gomez Gets Steve Martin, Martin Short's Blessing After Engagement

For the occasion, Gomez was accompanied by her fiancé, Benny Blanco, as her date. Gomez donned a baby blue gown that she accessorized with diamond jewels. Blanco, 36, looked dashing in an all-white suit. While Gomez walked the red carpet solo, Blanco remained by her side throughout the duration of the live show.

During host Nikki Glaser’s monologue, she poked fun at Blanco and Gomez’s recent engagement.

“Benny Blanco is here because of the genie who granted him that wish,” Glaser, 40, joked. “Man, lucky guy.”

Gomez and Blanco announced their engagement in December 2024, one year after they publicly revealed their romance. “Forever begins now..,” the actress captioned an Instagram post featuring photos of her ring and the pair celebrating their impending nuptials.

“Hey wait… that’s my wife,” Blanco commented on Gomez’s post at the time.

Gomez later took to social media to gush over her ring and show it off.

“I’ve just dreamed of this moment my whole life,” she wrote alongside a snap of the rock glistening in the sun.

Did Selena Gomez Hint That She Wanted a Marquise Engagement Ring in 2015?

Gomez’s sparkler features an elongated diamond set on a gold band adorned with more rock. According to Jared Jewelers expert and VP of Merchandising Ann Grimmett, the band is estimated to be six carats and worth $225,000. Grimmett also told Us Weekly that the ring was “rare, given less than five percent of diamonds are marquise.”

The ring’s designers, Katherine Theofilos Claster and Stephanie Theofilos, shared what it was like working with Blanco to create the custom jewel for his bride-to-be.

“We started the project earlier this year. Benny, a wonderful creative himself, had [a] specific inspiration, including the center cut, the marquise,” Theofilos said in a December 2024 interview with Page Six. “Benny had a very sharp idea of what he ultimately envisioned.”
