Blake Lively, Leighton Meester, Penn Badgley and more Gossip Girl stars went on to big things after The CW series gave them their big breaks.

The teen drama ran for six seasons from September 2007 to December 2012. Fans became instantly obsessed with the lives of the elite youth of New York City, played by Lively (Serena van der Woodsen), Meester (Blair Waldorf), Badgley (Dan Humphrey), Ed Westwick (Chuck Bass), Chace Crawford (Nate Archibald) and Taylor Momsen (Jenny Humphrey).

After the series wrapped, the cast built thriving personal lives with fellow A-listers and starred in some of the most popular television shows and films in the entertainment industry. Max ordered a Gossip Girl reboot in 2019, leaving many fans hopeful to see their favorite characters return.

“We’ve reached out to all of them to let them know it was happening, and we would love for them to be involved if they want to be involved,” executive producer Josh Schwartz told reporters in July 2019. “But [we] certainly didn’t want to make it contingent upon their [participation]. They played those characters for six years, and if they felt like they were good with that, we wanted to respect that. But obviously, it would be great to see them again.”

Despite making several references to the original series — as well as featuring a cameo from Michelle Trachtenberg as Georgina Sparks — the revival was ultimately canceled in January 2023 after two seasons.

The loss of a Hollywood great is never easy, but in certain cases, a star’s passing comes long before it was their time to go.

Talents like Amy Winehouse, Prince, Whitney Houston, Cory Monteith and Robin Williams all left this world abruptly and without warning.

Stars including Chadwick Boseman, Willie Garson and Norm Macdonald all fought private battles with cancer.

Boseman was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016. After quietly fighting the disease — and filming numerous movies, including Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom — he died in August 2020 at the age of 43.

While some of Hollywood’s greatest talents were taken too soon, including Bob Saget, who passed away in January 2022 at age 65, other stars left fans wanting more … even if they lived into their 90s. That was the case when Betty White died on New Year’s Eve 2021 at age 99.

Scroll down to see what other greats went too soon:

Liam Payne — In October 2024, Us confirmed that the former One Direction member died at age 31. He fell from a balcony at the CasaSur Palermo Hotel in Argentina.

Charlie Colin — Colin, who was the bassist for the band Train, died in May 2024 at the age of 58. He died after accidentally falling in the shower, which his mother confirmed to TMZ.

Matthew Perry — In October 2023, Perry passed away at age 54 following an apparent drowning. He was found in a jacuzzi by law enforcement who had responded to a call about someone suffering from a cardiac arrest.

Angus Cloud — The Euphoria actor died in July 2023 at age 25. Cloud’s passing came one week after he buried his father. “It is with the heaviest heart that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human today. As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” the actor’s family said in a statement at the time. “Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend.”
Cloud’s loved ones added: “Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence. We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss.”

Stephen ‘tWitch’ Boss — The former So You Think You Can Dance contestant died at age 40 in December 2022. His wife, Allison Holker, addressed the news in a heartbreaking statement soon after.
"To say he left a legacy would be an understatement, and his positive impact will continue to be felt. I am certain there won't be a day that goes by that we won't honor his memory. We ask for privacy during this difficult time for myself and especially for our three children," she told People. "Stephen, we love you, we miss you, and I will always save the last dance for you."
The couple tied the knot in December 2013 and raised three children together.

Ray Liotta — Deadline reported in May 2022 that the No Sudden Move star died in his sleep. He was 67.

Bob Saget — The Full House alum was found unresponsive in January 2022 in his Florida hotel room while in town for a comedy show. He was pronounced dead at the scene at age 65.

Betty White — While the Golden Girls alum lived a long life — and had a very successful career in Hollywood — her death in December 2021 shocked her fans as it came just shy of her 100th birthday. The legendary actress passed away on New Year’s Eve at age 99.

The comedian privately battled cancer for nearly 10 years before his passing. “He was most proud of his comedy,” his longtime producing partner, Lori Jo Hoekstra, told Us in a statement at the time. “He never wanted the diagnosis to affect the way the audience or any of his loved ones saw him. Norm was a pure comic. He once wrote that ‘a joke should catch someone by surprise, it should never pander.’ He certainly never pandered. Norm will be missed terribly.”

Dustin Diamond — The Saved by the Bell alum died at the age of 44 in February 2021, just three weeks after being diagnosed with stage IV small cell carcinoma. “In that time, it managed to spread rapidly throughout his system; the only mercy it exhibited was its sharp and swift execution," his rep said in a statement to Us. “Dustin did not suffer. He did not have to lie submerged in pain. For that, we are grateful.”

The Black Panther star died at the age of 43 in August 2020 at his Los Angeles home after secretly battling colon cancer for four years. “It is with immeasurable grief that we confirm the passing of Chadwick Boseman,” the family said in a statement at the time. “Chadwick was diagnosed with stage III colon cancer in 2016 and battled with it these last four years as it progressed to stage IV. A true fighter, Chadwick persevered through it all, and brought you many of the films you have come to love so much. From Marshall to Da 5 Bloods, August Wilson's Ma Rainey's Black Bottom and several more, all were filmed during and between countless surgeries and chemotherapy. It was the honor of his career to bring King T’Challa to life in Black Panther. He died in his home, with his wife and family by his side.”

SAG Awards: Best and Wackiest Red Carpet Looks of All Time

Us Weekly News

21 February 2025 at 14:17

Unlike some other ceremonies, the SAG Awards give celebs a chance to show off their style and pack a little extra punch with their outfits.

While the show never fails to serve up glitz and glamour, it’s garnered quite a reputation for out-of-the-box outfits. There’s never a shortage of buzz-worthy ensembles, from jumpsuits to sequins or daring dresses.

Perhaps one of the show’s most iconic outfits came to pass in 2010 when Kate Hudson slayed in a backless Emilio Pucci gown that was seemingly a page of Andy Anderson’s playbook. The actress topped best-dressed lists across the board with a low hem that showed off her toned physique and delicate silver detailing.

Unfortunately, not all red-carpet moments are as amazing as Hudson’s. In 2014, Meryl Streep made headlines in a black dress designed by Stella McCartney. Even though the star can do no wrong in our eyes, many thought the gown looked like a skirt that was pulled up above her shoulders.

To see all these looks and more of the jaw-dropping fashion from SAG Awards show’s past, keep scrolling:

Ariana Greenblatt — The Barbie star commanded attention with a velvet red wine custom Vera Wang gown featuring an A-line skirt in 2024.

Emma Stone — Stone wowed in a Louis Vuitton number that was embellished with pearls, sequins and crystals in 2024.

Brie Larson — Larson flaunted her abs in a custom Atelier Versace look featuring a long-sleeved crop top and a low-waisted skirt in 2024.

Rachel Brosnahan — The actress opted for a bronze Tamara Ralph look with a tiered skirt and floral neckline in 2024.

Margot Robbie — Robbie got leggy in a black Schiaparelli mini dress in 2024. The pièce de résistance was her pink train, which was strapped to her shoulder and wrapped around her waist.

Danielle Brooks — Brooks wore an interesting look custom-designed by Christian Siriano in 2024. Her ensemble featured half of a long blazer and half of a billowing skirt that cascaded behind her.

Ali Wong was the talk of the night in 2024 in a black and white Iris Van Herpen Couture dress that protruded from her body in all angles.

Tan France — France elevated his black-and-white Amit Aggarwal look with a horizontal tie.

Best Glitz Moment — Lady Gaga rocked a stunning white Armani gown in 2022.

Worst Turtleneck Ensemble — Jada Pinkett Smith's navy blue vintage Gareth Pugh dress left a little more to be desired.

Best Sweetheart Neckline — For the 2021 event, Cynthia Erivo stunned in a blush-colored Alexander McQueen gown. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.

Worst Footwear — While the Schitt’s Creek actress rocked the menswear-inspired look in 2021, her shoes should have made more of a statement.

Best Sequin — At the 2020 ceremony, Lupita Nyong’o dazzled in a black and white Louis Vuitton dress that featured 20,000 sequins and 12,000 glass beads. She accessorized the look with Forevermark jewels.

Worst Print — While Margo Robbie’s natural makeup looked stunning at the 2020 awards, her plaid Chanel Halter dress missed the mark.

Best Off-the-Shoulder — Mandy Moore looked gorgeous at the 2019 event in a sleek Jason Wu gown with a beaded off-the-shoulder neckline. She paired the dress with Jimmy Choo shoes and Niwaka jewels.

Best Princess Moment — Dakota Fanning stunned at the 2018 awards in shimmering soft peach Prada gown with diamante detail at the trim.

Best Jumpsuit — Yara Shahidi's jumpsuit isn't technically a gown, but that's one of the reasons it stood out! With a chic train and pockets, this Ralph Lauren Collection number was the star of the 2018 red carpet.

Best Metallic Moment — Michelle Williams' striped silver and gold sequin Louis Vuitton number with neck piece was as chic as was flattering.

Best Use of Feathers — Nicole Kidman’s plunging emerald sequin Gucci gown with parrot shoulders was a showstopper.

Worst Panty Show — Kate Hudson’s Christian Dior gown's caped sleeves looked luxe but the visible underwear band detracted.

Best Nearly Naked Dress — Taraji P. Henson turned heads in a sheer-top Reem Acra nude gown with silver embellishments and Nirav Modi jewelry.

Worst Jumpsuit — While Gwendoline Christie’s Vivienne Westwood Couture sequin one-piece looked chic, it failed to flatter the Game of Thrones’ actresses body.

Best Glam Cutout Gown — Julianne Moore shimmered on the red carpet in a pistachio Givenchy Haute Couture dress and jewelry by Chopard.

Worst Shoe Pairing — Gaby Hoffmann’s long sleeve sequin column gown was glamorous, but the green suede heels threw off the whole look.

Best Pop of Color — Sofia Vergara wowed in a hot pink bodycon column dress by Vera Wang, accessorizing with a matching Jimmy Choo clutch and a statement collar necklace by David Webb.

Best Color-Blocking — Winning! Alicia Vikander, who took home an award for her performance in The Danish Girl, sparkled in a mixed-metal color blocked column gown by Louis Vuitton.

Worst Cutout — Hey, cut it out! Kaley Cuoco picked a one-shouldered black cutout dress by Ramona Keveza that showed off her ab muscles. Lorraine Schwartz jewels and Jimmy Choo heels completed her sultry ensemble.

Best Draping — TKO! Supporting her husband Matthew McConaughey, Camila Alves stunned at the 2015 ceremony in this eggplant-hued dress by Donna Karan Atelier, tailored and draped to perfection. She finished with an Aldo clutch.

Worst Sleeves — Boyhood&apos;s Lorelei Linklater hit the 2015 carpet in a black dress with lace-trimmed bell sleeves so large, they completely obscured her arms.

Best Non-Maternity Maternity — Keira Knightley concealed her baby bump in this tiered, purple lace Erdem dress with a sheer neckline.

Best Embellishments — Just one of her stunning 2014 awards season looks, Lupita Nyong'o's teal Gucci dress scored points not only for its vibrant hue, but also for its gorgeous floral neckline. Bonus: She added matching eyeshadow.

Worst Feathers — Perhaps Angie Harmon was inspired by Black Swan when she chose a pink Monique Lhuillier strapless gown adorned with fluffy feathers in 2011.

Best Color Choice — While some fashion critics accused her of copying Michelle Williams' marigold-hued 2006 Oscars dress, it's undeniable that Diane Kruger looked incredible in her vibrant Jason Wu gown in 2010.

Worst Cake Topper — We applaud Sarah Paulson for taking big style risks, but her 2014 Rochas dress—just a bit too ruffled and twee to be taken seriously—just didn't do it for Us.

Worst LBD — We know—Meryl Streep can do no wrong! Nevertheless, she did make a slight style misstep when she chose this unflattering LBD by Stella McCartney in 2014. The elastic waistline made it look like a skirt pulled up to her shoulders!

Best Lace Look — Lovely in lace! Naomi Watts looked gorgeous in a strapless, floor-length, silvery, lace mermaid gown by Marchesa, which she paired with a sweeping side wavy hairstyle and bold red lips in 2013.

Worst Accessory — While fashion critics were divided on Claire Danes' floral-print strapless Louis Vuitton look in 2011, most agreed that she should've ditched the black velvet buckled belt.

Best Print — Mila Kunis wowed in a red Alexander McQueen gown with a strapless sweetheart neckline and dramatic print in 2011.

Worst Tuxedo Style — Mad about this look? Not quite. January Jones turned heads in a black jersey wrap gown with a white organza halter bodice by Prabal Gurung in 2013, but it was her hairstyle and makeup that truly made this overall look a fashion miss.

Best Red on the Red Carpet — Jessica Chastain with the red carpet win! The actress flaunted her va-va-voom figure in a rouge Alexander McQueen gown in 2013.

Worst Fit — The sparkly L'Wren Scott robe-style dress Mad Men's Christian Hendricks wore in 2011 did little to flatter her amazing curves.

Best Backless — Kate Hudson kicked off the red carpet trend of long-sleeve, backless gowns when she rocked a white Emilio Pucci design that showed off her incredible body in 2010.

Worst Draping — America Ferrera wore an unflattering nude Vera Wang design with biazarre black criss-crossing pieces in 2009.

Best Curves — Kate Winslet's figure looked sexier than ever when she hit the 2009 red carpet in a form-fitting cobalt blue Narciso Rodriguez gown.

Best Maternity Style — In 2011 mom-to-be Natalie Portman showed off her growing bump in a clingy white strapless Azzaro dress and $2 million worth of dazzling Tiffany jewels.

Worst Faux Bridal — The one-shoulder Monique Lhullier gown Teri Hatcher wore in 2009 looked more suitable for walking down an aisle than a red carpet.

Best Ombre — After a few years out of the spotlight, Julia Stiles made a stunning return to the red carpet in a Monique Lhullier navy and white ombre gown last year.

Worst Embellishment — As if the pea green color of Jane Krakowski's Catherine Malandrino dress in 2008 wasn't bad enough, the neckline looked like it was made out of exotic fruit.

Best Sparkle — Weeks after wearing a fussy pink ruffled look at the 2011 Golden Globes, Glee's Lea Michele showed off her sexy side in a plunging beaded Oscar de la Renta number.

Worst Ruffles — The tiered skirt on Toni Collette's strapless, blush-colored Rafael Cennamo gown took away from her gorgeous hair, makeup and jewelry.

Best Strapless — Amanda Bynes took a break from her favorite skintight bandage dresses in a boho-glam teal Marchesa gown with an embellished bodice back in 2008.

Worst Bow — Sandra Oh got slammed for wearing a couture version of a traditional Korean hanbok with a giant pink bow in 2008.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds' Relationship Timeline

Us Weekly News

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were once just two friends out on a double date — with other people.

“We went on a double date,” Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly’s SiriusXM show in February 2016. “She was on a date with another guy, and I was on a date with another girl — and that was, like, the most awkward date for the respective parties because we were just like fireworks coming across.”

Still, Reynolds said he was glad that the two started off as “buddies” before things turned romantic. “I remember it was funny, because for about a year after Green Lantern had come and gone and all that stuff, we were both single,” he said of their shared 2010 film. “I think the best way to have a relationship is to start as friends.”

Not only did they go to tie the knot in September 2012, but they have since welcomed four children. Reynolds and Lively share daughters James, Inez and Betty, who were born in 2015, 2016 and 2019, respectively. They welcomed their fourth child, son Olin, in 2023.

January 2012 — Reynolds and his girlfriend Lively were seen going for a stroll in New Orleans but tried to keep hidden from cameras.

I think wiser people might see that as a house of cards."

May 2012 — The happy pair visited the Ferry Terminal in Nanaimo, British Columbia. "I don't want to date someone just to date someone," Lively told Cosmopolitan in September 2008. "I want to be with a guy who's going to better my quality of life, better me."

Go ahead, take a personal call. Feel free.’ She was cracking jokes in the delivery room.”

April 2015 — By April, Lively joked during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she and Reynolds had gone from lovers to adversaries as they began to fight over their daughter’s first word. “We’re total rivals, by the way. I hear ‘dada, dada,’ all the time, and then I walk in the room and he’s like, ‘mama,’" she said. "And I’m like, ’How dare you do that?’”

One month later, they gave the world its first glimpse of their little girl with an Instagram photo of James holding her “dada’s” hand.

The glowing parents made their first red carpet appearance together as mom and dad in February 2016 while attending a fan screening for Deadpool.

April 2016 — Us confirmed that the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants star was pregnant again after she was spotted on set for The Shallows in a wetsuit that showed off her growing baby bump.

Just days prior, Reynolds made a crack about the couple’s sex life while accepting his award for Best Comedic Performance in Deadpool at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards. “I want to thank my wife, Blake. Everything I do is to make her laugh, especially the sex!” he joked.

June 2016 — Lively gushed about her significant other to Marie Claire in July 2016. “I knew he would always be my best friend for my whole life,” she told the magazine at the time. “That was the biggest thing for me. I’d never known anything like the friendship that I had with him. I could like him as much as I loved him.”

September 2016 — The duo welcomed a second daughter, Inez. A source told Us at the time that their visitors to the hospital included Lively’s sister, Robyn, as well as close pal Taylor Swift.

Lively, Reynolds and their two daughters made their debut as a family of four in December 2016 to celebrate the Golden Globe nominee’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. “Proud is a pitiful word to describe how I felt today,” Lively captioned an Instagram photo from the event. “@vancityreynolds The permanence of your impact is undeniable …Always has been, but now we have a fancy [star] to show for it.”
Reynolds opened up about how he knew his wife was “the one” to GQ one month prior. “Probably after the sex,” he teased, adding, “No, we were hanging out at this little restaurant in Tribeca that’s open really late, and this song came on and I was just like, ‘Want to dance?’ No one was in there, so it was just totally empty. And it was just one of those moments where halfway through the dance, it was like, ‘Oh, I think I just crossed a line.’”

January 2017 — By January, the twosome were back to glamming it up for the cameras, hitting the 2017 Golden Globes together in their red carpet finest — a black and gold Atelier Versace halter gown for Lively and a crisp black suit with a white undershirt for Reynolds.
That same month, the producer opened up about how his love had helped him navigate Deadpool fandom. “By the time we were in post[-production], we’d been to Comic-Con, and people went crazy for it. The expectations were eating me alive. Blake helped me through that. I’m lucky to have her around just to keep me sane,” he told Variety.

He shared a similar sentiment while commenting on an Instagram photo from Humans of New York in May 2017: “She always responds with empathy,” he wrote of his wife. “She meets anger with empathy. She meets hate with empathy. She’ll take the time to imagine what happened to a person when they were five or six years old. And she’s made me a more empathetic person. I had a very fractured relationship with my father. Before he died, she made me remember things I didn’t want to remember. She made me remember the good times."

The Shallows star joked that she conceived baby No. 4 after watching a clip from her love’s 2010 movie Buried, which became available on Hulu in July 2020. In the clip, the Canadian actor drinks from a flask with “Aviation Gin” written on it and guzzles it down before a light shows even more gin next to him. “10 years later, it really holds up! Although I don’t recall the aggressive product placement. #Buried,” Reynolds wrote via Instagram.
Lively was quick to comment, writing, “I think this just got me pregnant,” to which the father of three replied, “@blakelively I will be out of the office starting July 22nd throughout the middle or forever and ever. If you need immediate assistance during my absence, please contact someone. Anyone. Otherwise I will respond to your message as soon as possible upon my unlikely return. Thank you.”

April 2021 — The couple attended a New York Yankees game without their little ones, which they documented on social media.

The Most Romantic Movies That Will Make You Cry: 'Ghost' and More

The Most Romantic Movies That Will Make You Cry Ghost The Last Song and More 361 Lead — Cover Images ; Touchstone Pictures and Offspring Entertainment

Everyone needs a good cry from time to time, and several romance movies will do just the trick.

Some of the most tear-jerking films in recent years have one thing in common. The Notebook, Dear John, The Last Song and A Walk to Remember, to name a few, are all adaptations of Nicholas Sparks books. While Sparks has a talent for making readers and viewers cry, he is a much tougher nut to crack.

“It is tough to make me cry,” the author told The Charlotte Observer in February 2013. He went on to note, “By the time I get to see the film, look, I’ve seen dailies, I’ve seen the script, there’s no surprise, I don’t get that magical feeling of discovering a story. Plus, I wrote the story in the first place.”

While Sparks doesn’t get emotional revisiting his old work, he enjoys seeing others connect to his stories. “Apologies for making you cry for decades!” he jokingly wrote via Facebook in April 2024. “I can’t believe it’s been 30 years since I wrote #TheNotebook! I wrote the ending first, and once I knew I could make that work, I wrote the reunion, the prologue and then the rest of the novel.”

30 of the Most Romantic Movies of All Time: 'The Notebook' and More

At the time, he noted that the Broadway musical adaptation of his 1996 novel and the 2004 film version handed out “special tissues” for emotional theatergoers.

Scroll down for romantic movie recommendations that will make you shed a tear:

‘The Notebook’

The 2004 adaptation of Sparks’ novel of the same name ensured that romantics everywhere gained a newfound appreciation for making out in the rain. As World War II–era star-crossed lovers, Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams offer emotional performances, which may have been helped by the fact that their real-life relationship was fiery from the start: Gosling tried to order McAdams off the set, but the two began dating after the shoot was finished, ultimately parting ways in 2007.

‘Titanic’

Our hearts could not go on after watching this 1997 heartbreaker about Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Rose (Kate Winslet), who fall in love while aboard the doomed ship. Of course, they didn’t make it in the long run since that wooden panel would only support the weight of one person when the ship went down (though the show Mythbusters disagrees with this logic). The real-life actors remain friends, however, and costarred again in 2008’s Revolutionary Road.

‘Dear John’

Sparks can always be relied upon for inspiring a cathartic sob session. This adaptation of his 2006 novel of the same name follows John (Channing Tatum) and Savannah (Amanda Seyfried), a couple who keep their love alive through letters while John serves in the military post–9/11. She ends up dumping him in one of her notes — harsh — but as with any good romance, that’s not the end of the story.

‘Love Story’

If you haven’t heard of it, ask your mom about this 1970 film. No doubt she can rattle off the famous tagline: “Love means never having to say you’re sorry.” Oliver (Ryan O’Neal) and Jennifer (Ali MacGraw) meet as students at Harvard University and Radcliffe College, respectively. Once they marry and try to conceive, they discover the tragic reason why they can’t have kids. We won’t spoil it for you — just grab the tissues and prepare to bawl.

‘Ghost’

Everyone knows the famous pottery wheel scene that’s been spoofed a million times over, but this 1990 film about a woman (Demi Moore) who’s followed by the poltergeist of her murdered lover (Patrick Swayze) is an especially devastating meditation on grieving. Just check out the scene where the ghost, via a medium played by Whoopi Goldberg, offers his love a penny for good luck.

‘Brokeback Mountain’

The tender performances of Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal, who play two cowboys fighting their love for each other in the conservative 1960s and ’70s Midwest, earned both actors Oscar nominations (Ledger for best actor and Gyllenhaal for best supporting actor) in 2006.

‘The Way We Were’

Opposites attract, but can they make it work long-term? That’s the dilemma for strident political activist Katie (Barbra Streisand) and charming, lackadaisical screenwriter Hubbell (Robert Redford) in this 1973 drama. Though initially drawn to each other’s differences, the couple’s dynamic threatens to tear them apart as they marry and have a daughter. In the end, all that’s left is Streisand’s title song, which many a brokenhearted soul has bawled over.

‘The Last Song’

While the love story of this Sparks book-to-movie adaptation centers around Miley Cyrus’ Veronica “Ronnie” Miller and Liam Hemsworth’s Will Blakelee, the emotional center of the film lies with Ronnie’s relationship with her father, Steve (Greg Kinnear). Ronnie falls for Will while spending the summer in Georgia with her dad, who she doesn’t know is secretly battling cancer (bet you can guess what happens next).

‘A Star Is Born’

There have been several versions of A Star Is Born over the years, but none have such an emotional punch as the 2018 version starring Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. After musician Jackson Maine (Cooper) falls in love with aspiring singer-songwriter Ally Campana (Gaga), the pair’s relationship faces ups and downs as Ally’s star begins to rise. On top of it all, Jack is forced to deal with his own internal demons, which ultimately lead to a tragic end for the couple.

‘A Walk to Remember’

In one of the most famous Sparks adaptations, popular guy in school Landon Carter (Shane West) catches feelings for the quiet and conservative Jamie Sullivan (Mandy Moore) while being forced to participate in their high school play — going against Jamie’s request for him not to fall in love with her. Landon eventually comes to learn the reason behind Jamie’s rule, as she reveals that she has leukemia. The 2002 movie follows the couple’s romance as Landon vows to stay by Jamie’s side until the end.

Several romantic movies have continued to pull on fans’ heartstrings — and not just on Valentine’s Day.

The Notebook, for example, has become a classic watch for those looking to shed a happy tear. The 2004 movie adaptation of the beloved Nicholas Sparks novel follows the love story of Noah (Ryan Gosling) and Allie (Rachel McAdams) from their first meeting in the 1940s to their final days together.

While the movie turned Gosling into a Hollywood heartthrob, the actor previously revealed he wasn’t cast with that status in mind. “[Director Nick Cassavetes] straight up told me, ‘The fact that you have no natural leading man qualities is why I want you to be my leading man,’” Gosling revealed in a May 2023 interview with GQ.

The film quickly became known for its iconic rain kiss scene. According to McAdams, however, the scene wasn’t as glamorous to shoot as it looked on screen. “It didn’t rain when we needed it to,” she told Good Morning America in April 2024. “They had to pump rain from the bottom of the lake through fire hoses and then pelt us with it.”

Longtime bachelor George Clooney finally met his match in the stunning, accomplished human rights lawyer Amal Clooney. Still, it took Amal a little bit to accept that their romance was the real deal.

“We never talked about marriage when we were dating, and I asked her out of the blue,” George told CBS in November 2020. “[It] took her a long time to say yes. I was on my knee for, like, 20 minutes. I finally said, ‘Look, I’m gonna throw my hip out.’ We told that story to her parents, and they’re like, ‘There’s something wrong with his hip?’”

The pair first met while in Lake Como, Italy, in 2013. Later that year, they had their first date in London. The two got married in a fantasy wedding at the Aman Canal Grande Hotel in Venice, Italy, in September 2014.

Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s romance has endured plenty of ups and downs over the years — but they’ve weathered the storms together.

The couple, who went public with their relationship in January 2007, briefly split in February 2011. They reconnected in July of that year and tied the knot in October 2012.

Us Weekly broke the news in November 2014 that the 7th Heaven alum and former ‘NSync singer were expecting their first child together. In April 2015, the duo welcomed their son Silas and second son Phineas followed five years later.

The pair’s relationship was tested in November 2019 when photos surfaced of Timberlake holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. The musician publicly apologized for a “strong lapse in judgment” and privately worked to make it up to Biel.

“He’s bending over backwards to get Jessica to forgive him,” a source exclusively told Us in February 2020. “And to make sure he’s there for her.”

Scroll down to relive Timberlake and Biel’s ups and downs over the years.

August 2007 — Timberlake and Biel first took their relationship public in January 2007, shortly after the singer split from actress Cameron Diaz. "She's the perfect girl for him," a Timberlake pal told Us after the two first began dating. "It grew from friendship to full-on romance. Now they're serious and monogamous."

April 2009 — Amidst split rumors, the two went on a PDA parade at the L.A. Lakers home game. After Dustin Hoffman made the crowd go wild by smooching his wife on the Lakers' Kiss Me Cam, Timberlake had to outdo the actor: "So I mounted my girlfriend in front of 18,000 people."

May 2009 — One month later, the hot Hollywood couple attended the Met Costume Institute Gala in NYC. "I just love it!" Biel told Us of her red-hot Versace gown. Timberlake looked handsome in a William Rast tux.

August 2009 — Several months earlier, the lovebirds relocated to a new loft in NYC's Tribeca neighborhood. "The apartment is great. He is loving it," his mom, Lynn Harless, told Us.

May 2010 — Hours before seeing the Broadway show In the Heights, the pair strolled in NYC's West Village. "Jessica loves how funny he is," a source once told Us. "Plus, let's face it: Justin is gorgeous."

February 2011 — One month after cuddling at the Vanity Fair Oscars party in West Hollywood, their reps confirmed their split to Us. "They mutually have decided to part ways. The two remain friends and continue to hold the highest level of love and respect for each other."

October 2012 — Marriage bliss! After a 10-month engagement, Timberlake and Biel said "I do" in southern Italy in October. That same month, they shared a rare public kiss while attending Variety's 4th Annual Power of Women Event in Beverly Hills.

April 2013 — The twosome matched in black as they attended the Time 100 Gala at Lincoln Center in NYC. Biel wore a chic Tom Ford dress, and the couple were spotted inside shaking hands with Vice President of the United States Joe Biden.

May 2013 — Prom moment! The lovebirds sweetly posed together during the premiere of Timberlake's film Inside Llewyn Davis at the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival in France. Biel stunned in a Marchesa gown with feather detail.

September 2013 — A smooch in the stands! Biel snuggled up to her beau as the pair attended a match between Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic at the U.S. Open in NYC. "It's nice to marry your best friend. It suits me," Timberlake told Ellen DeGeneres a few months earlier in April.

March 2014 — Hanky-panky! The Blunderer actress couldn't keep her hands off the "Mirror" singer following her birthday trip to Barbados. "Justin wasn't very good at wakeboarding. Jessica was much better!" an onlooker told Us. "They looked madly in love as they joked around."

Biel gushed about her husband on Good Morning America in September 2015, saying, “He supports everything that I do, and that’s, I think, why he’s a wonderful partner.” The following month, Timberlake returned the praise as he was inducted into the Memphis Music Hall of Fame, calling Biel his rock. “Baby, I love you more than I could put into words and more than any song I could ever write,” he added.

October 2016 — TMI alert! When Extra’s Mario Lopez asked Timberlake if he and his wife were thinking about working on giving Silas a little brother or sister, the singer replied, “I’m having a lot of fun practicing.”

July 2017 — In a cover story for Marie Claire, the actress explained why her and Timberlake’s marriage works so well: “We have similar values; we believe in loyalty, honesty. We like to have fun. We like a lot of the same things. Also, in the business, we’re all very career-oriented, and you have to be a little selfish. I understand that about my peers — about being focused and driven — and if you can find that and someone who shares the same values as you, it’s like: Score!”

A source exclusively told Us in July 2018 that Biel and Timberlake’s marriage was rock-solid. “Justin and Jessica are really in love, and their marriage is so strong right now,” the insider said. “Even with Silas, they still make their relationship with each other a major priority and have fun with each other.”

September 2018 — As they celebrated Biel’s 2018 Emmy nomination for her performance in The Sinner, the couple sent son Silas a special signal from the red carpet. “I’m just so proud to be here and see this happen for her,” Timberlake told E! News of his wife’s honor.

Biel commemorated Timberlake’s 38th birthday with an underwater throwback photo in January 2019. “Since the days of embarrassing pink ruffled bikinis and underwater photo shoots, you have been infusing my life with so much joy and laughter that I blame YOU for my smile lines,” the actress captioned the silly snap via Instagram. “But I wouldn’t trade them for the world. I wear them with pride knowing that I am the luckiest human around to have the honor of hearing your jokes, your words, your voice, every day of my life. Happy birthday to the man of my blue ocean dreams. I love you.”

November 2019 — On November 23, reports surfaced that the “Can’t Stop the Feeling” singer was spotted in New Orleans holding hands with his Palmer costar Alisha Wainwright. A source told Us exclusively that despite the pictures that surfaced, the two are “just friends.” The images caused fans to think Timberlake’s marriage to Biel was on rocky terrain since he didn’t appear to be wearing his wedding ring at the time.

A month after PDA-filled photos surfaced of Timberlake and his Palmer costar, the musician issued a public apology to his wife and his fans. “A few weeks ago, I displayed a strong lapse in judgment — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my costar,” Timberlake wrote in a statement posted on Instagram in December 2019. “I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better. This is not the example I want to set for my son.”
The Grammy winner added: “I apologize to my amazing wife and family for putting them through such an embarrassing situation, and I am focused on being the best husband and father I can be. This was not that.”

The couple were spotted having dinner at Hotel Bel-Air in Los Angeles in January 2020, two months after Timberlake’s PDA scandal. “Jessica and Justin kept to themselves and other restaurant-goers left them alone,” a source told Us at the time. “Justin had his attention focused on Jessica and after they had dinner they left together.” The pair enjoyed a staycation at the hotel with their son, a second source confirmed to Us.

The couple attended the season 3 premiere of The Sinner in West Hollywood in February 2020. “They happily posed with their arms behind each other’s backs,” an eyewitness told Us of the event, noting Biel arrived solo but was later joined by Timberlake.

The Friends With Benefits actor threw his wife a pajama-themed party for her 38th birthday at their L.A. home amid the coronavirus pandemic. “Justin was dancing and making everyone laugh and doting on Jessica,” a source told Us in March 2020. “He really made the night all about making her happy.” The birthday girl thanked Timberlake for the bash on social media, writing, “Thank you, you wonderful human, for really listening to me, and for throwing my kinda party. And thank YOU ALL for the birthday wishes. Feeling the love.”

January 2021 — Timberlake confirmed during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show that he and Biel welcomed son Phineas in 2020. He joked that the pair “don’t see each other anymore” after expanding their family. “It’s a lot of fun but I guess the saying goes, ‘Go from a zone defense to a man-to-man very quickly,’” he quipped. “‘You go get that one, I’ll get this one.’”

March 2021 — Timberlake shared a sweet tribute for Biel on her 39th birthday that included multiple photos of the couple through the years. “Happy Birthday to my favorite person in the world,” the singer wrote via Instagram. “The strongest, funniest, best, brightest and most beautiful mom/partner/BOSS there is.

Over the years, stars have left their mark on the Grammys red carpet with their over-the-top beauty looks.

Lady Gaga made a name for herself by wearing some outrageous ensembles to high-profile events. The singer turned heads when she arrived at the 64th Grammy Awards wearing a one-shoulder black and white gown by Armani Privé. The look featured a sweeping white train and open back — which she completed with an updo that showed off her jewelry by Tiffany & Co.

Gaga’s stunning appearance at the awards show came after she previously paid tribute to David Bowie‘s Life on Mars music video with bold blood orange hair and fierce eye makeup. For the New York native, the late musician “changed” her life with his music.

“Well, the moment that I saw the Aladdin Sane cover for the first time, I was 19 years old, and it just changed my perspective on everything, forever,” she said on NPR in 2016, shortly after her Grammys appearance. “It was an image that changed my life.”

She added: “That was just the beginning of my artistic birth. I started to dress more expressively. I started to go to the library and look through more art books. I took an art history class. I was playing with a band.”

Another star who isn’t afraid to be the talk of the night is Doja Cat, who covered herself in tattoos at the 2024 Grammys. The rapper added even more funk to her look with super arched razor thin brows and a bold red lip.

John Mayer — Who knew? The "Say" singer admitted he has a soft spot for the series during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in May 2012. "I don't even feel like it's my fault for liking it," he said. "It's not a guilty pleasure. It's designed to be a pleasure."

Jennifer Aniston — "You know what I find fascinating? The Bachelor," the Friends alum said in Allure magazine's February 2011 issue.

Brian Williams — During Andi Dorfman’s season of The Bachelorette, the MSNBC anchor revealed he started watching the show when his daughter Allison invited him to her viewing party. On a July 2014 episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers, Williams said, “Just as I wouldn’t speculate going into an election night, I can’t speculate on the outcome, except to say ‘Andi, we’re with you. We realize this season has been one of heartache, great travel and adventure, but what a season.’”

Abigail Breslin — The August: Osage County actress often live-tweets during the show. "Watching The Bachelor Women Tell All...DRAMA'S BOUT TO GO DOWN AND I COULDN'T BE MORE EXCITED," she tweeted in March 2014 about season 18 Bachelor Juan Pablo Galavis.

Howard Stern — The radio disc jockey poked fun at season 11 during a March 2011 Jimmy Kimmel Live appearance. "[My wife Beth] thinks I'm such a great catch after she watches that moron Bachelor [Brad Womack]," he said. "He's a very good-looking guy but he's got the personality of an eggplant."

Kirsten Dunst — No. 1 fan! The Bachelorette actress has reportedly said that her girlfriends gave her a T-shirt that reads "Most. Exciting. Rose Ceremony."

Jennifer Love Hewitt — The former Client List star went on a date with season 16 Bachelor Ben Flajnik in 2011. "She's a nice girl, but...after this is all said and done, I want to go back to Northern California to my normal life," Flajnik told reporters before his season's premiere.

Taye Diggs — The Private Practice alum couldn't help but tweet about season 16 of The Bachelor with Ben Flajnik in January 2012. "I'm watching DVR'ed episodes of The Bachelor. I'm addicted. I may have a problem. I'm sorry."

Sarah Hyland — "I am a TV junkie: Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, True Blood, American Horror Story, Community, Stupid Realty Singing Competition Shows, The Bachelor, Breaking Bad, House of Cards," the Modern Family star told Marie Claire in February 2014. "There's a lot of good TV out there."

Kaley Cuoco — The Big Bang Theory actress is a longtime fan of the ABC series. She and season 6 Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky have shared photos of themselves watching the show live with a group of their girlfriends.

She later joined him on his "Viall Files" podcast.

Kate Hudson — The How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days actress has been known to Snapchat herself watching the show!

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis — They’re big fans! The That 70’s Show alums appeared on Rachel Lindsay’s Bachelorette season to help her find love. Not only did the couple host a group date, but they also raved about their love for the ABC dating series!
The Luckiest Girl Alive actress has continued to keep up with the ABC franchise long after her cameo.
“I have kids and a family. There's only so much that you can do [to relax],” Kunis told Extra in September 2022. “My version of unwinding: come home, my husband hands me a glass of wine, and I sit there and I decompress. I watch reality TV or I read some dumb articles or try not to focus and hyperfocus on something.”
As a dutiful member of Bachelor Nation, the actress tuned in for Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia’s joint season.
“This whole season to me was a little wonky because it was one of these weird things where you didn't even have time to invest in anybody's relationship because they were showcasing two separate people falling madly in love,” Kunis said during an appearance on Sirius XM’s “The Jess Cagle Show” later that September. “And you're, like normally within the span of a season, you watch the people fall in love and you are invested. And here you never even got to watch them fall in love. It kind of just happened. And then they were in love. He was, she was in love. He was in love.”
After watching Rachel and Tino Franco’s emotional breakup amid cheating allegations, Kunis noted that the show’s drama got “too real.”
She added: “I don't like it. ... I just like the entertainment part. … I was like, ‘Bad, bad, bad actions on his behalf. Like, really stupid dude.’ Don’t go super extreme night one, right? But also maybe just bad communication skills amongst everybody.”

Jennifer Lawrence — Lawrence, a self-proclaimed huge fan of the series, told Vanity Fair in March 2018 that she wants to pitch a show called Breakup Island where reality stars who’ve been broken up with on TV try to find love again.

Jessica Simpson’s Love Life: Nick Lachey, John Mayer, Eric Johnson and More

Us Weekly News

14 January 2025 at 04:42

Jessica Simpson‘s relationships have made headlines through the years, from brief flings, marriages and more.

The “Take My Breath Away” singer notably began dating Nick Lachey in 1999. After an on-and-off romance, they went on to tie the knot in October 2002 and subsequently landed their own Newlyweds reality TV show. After nearly four years of marriage, they ultimately called it quits.

“It breaks my heart that I couldn’t make Jessica happy. I wanted to be everything to my wife,” Lachey — who later married Vanessa Lachey (née Minnillo) in July 2011 — recalled to Rolling Stone in April 2006. “I wanted her to look at me with love in her eyes, the way she did at the beginning, and have her feel like I was the most wonderful, awe-inspiring man on the planet. And when that stopped, it was the worst feeling in the world.”

The Texas native has been equally candid about their short-lived marriage, even calling Nick her “first love” in her Open Book memoir.

“Nick loved the fact I was so strong in my faith and that I had this wide-eyed innocent approach to life. When he proposed in 2002, I said yes,” Simpson wrote in the book, which was published in 2020. “We were young and pioneering our way through reality television, always mic’ed and always on. We worked and we were great at it but when it came time to being alone, we weren’t great at it anymore.”

She added at the time: “I was 22, and I had just pledged my life and destiny of this man. And I don’t regret it. Nick was meant to be my husband. No one else was supposed to have my virginity.”

After their divorce was finalized in 2006, the Employee of the Month actress dated the likes of John Mayer, Tony Romo and Billy Corgan. Simpson went on to meet former football player Eric Johnson in 2010, who proposed six months later that November.

Simpson and the NFL alum — who share daughters Maxwell, born in 2012, and Birdie, born in 2019, and son Ace, born in 2013 — wed in July 2014. In January 2025, Simpson announced the duo’s separation after 10 years of marriage.

Scroll below to see Simpson’s complete dating history through the years:

Jensen Ackles — The singer dated the Supernatural actor in the late '90s around the time she became a household name with her debut album Sweet Kisses. It was rumored that Simpson was speaking of the hunk when she later recalled her "first heartbreak" on an episode of MTV's Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica years later.

Nick Lachey — The twosome began dating in 1999, married in October 2002 and starred in three seasons of MTV's Newlyweds. But after divorcing Lachey in June 2006, Simpson had only fond memories of the experience. "I believe it did not affect our marriage. Because we enjoyed watching those episodes, and that will always be a time I cherish," she told Vanity Fair in 2009.

Adam Levine — Simpson was rumored to have hooked up with the Maroon 5 frontman in 2004, while she was still married to Lachey. That January, the two reportedly spent the night at L.A.'s Chateau Marmont together. Simpson was seen wearing his T-shirt as pal CaCee Cobb picked her up the next morning.

Bam Margera — The famous prankster said he and Simpson did the deed during a chat on Howard Stern's SiriusXM radio show in September 2006. "We were just drinking margaritas and stuff, and you know, from there," he said. "It was when her parents were away and Nick was away," he claimed. "It's not a secret."

Johnny Knoxville — Simpson was accused of cheating on Lachey with her Dukes of Hazzard costar in 2006.
While both Simpson and Knoxville denied allegations that they had an inappropriate relationship at the time, the singer detailed their alleged emotional affair in her 2020 memoir, Open Book.
“I felt a force drawing us together,” Simpson wrote about Knoxville, who was married to his first wife, Melanie Lynn Clapp, at the time. “To me, an emotional affair was worse than a physical one. It’s funny, I know, because I had placed such an emphasis on sex by not having it before marriage. After I actually had sex, I understood that the emotional part was what mattered. And Johnny and I had that.”
She added that the twosome wrote “love letters” to each other. “It’s like Johnny and I were prison pen pals, two people who wanted too much to be with each other but were kept apart — by bars, by our stars, by our respective spouses,” Simpson wrote.
Knoxville has yet to publicly react to Simpson’s book claims.

Tony Romo — The NFL Dallas Cowboys player ended their relationship the night before Simpson's 29th birthday in July 2009 after nearly two years of dating. "It's been a long time coming," a pal of Romo's told Us. "They go from one fight right into another, without a second break," another added. "It's always something with Jessica."

Billy Corgan — Though the two were first spotted together in NYC in December 2009, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman played coy about the nature of their brief courtship. "The stuff that I've seen doesn't have any bearing to the reality that I'm in," he said to the Chicago Tribune in 2010. "It's like being in a cartoon. It has nothing to do with what's really going on or how I feel."

Jeremy Renner — Their short-lived spring fling came to an abrupt halt when the Hurt Locker star simply stopped calling the singer in 2010. Afterward, a source said a confused Simpson "showed up at his house one day" — and came to face-to-face with another woman! He was a "dirtbag," an insider told Us.

Eric Johnson — Simpson and the former NFL player began dating in May 2010 and got engaged six months later, ultimately tying the knot in July 2014. The couple welcomed daughter Maxwell in May 2012, son Ace in June 2013 and daughter Birdie in March 2019.
In January 2025, Simpson announced their separation after 10 years of marriage. “Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage,” she told Us in a statement. “Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them. We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family.”

Justin Timberlake — Simpson revealed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! in January 2020 that the “Suit & Tie” singer once kissed her on a bet from former All-New Micky Mouse Club costar Ryan Gosling. “After [my] divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, and we shared a nostalgic kiss,” she recalled. “Apparently, him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12 years old, so he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, ‘Oh, OK, um, so we don’t kiss again? That’s done.’”

Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry — "He was so charming and charismatic," Sperry told Vogue of the night she was introduced to her now-husband. "I adored him from the first moment we met." The pair, who have kept a low profile since exchanging vows in September 2019, bonded over their shared love of travel and music.

Jimmy Fallon and Nancy Juvonen — Though Juvonen’s isn’t a household name, she’s been on the Hollywood scene for some time as a film producer for Flower Films, which she co-owns with Drew Barrymore. In fact, it was on the set of the company’s Fever Pitch film, which starred Fallon and Barrymore, that she met the late-night talk-show host.

Ed Sheeran and Cherry Seaborn — The “Shape of You” singer may be one of the biggest artists in the world, but his wife, Seaborn, has a much-less glamorous title as an “advisory consultant.” Though the couple, who met as teenagers, didn’t date as kids, only reconnecting in New York City in 2015, their hometown connection proved strong: Sheeran confirmed his marriage in 2019’s “Remember the Name.”
The pair welcomed daughter Lyra in August 2020 and announced their second daughter's birth in May 2022.

Amy Schumer and Chris Fischer — Schumer’s now-husband had his own claim to culinary fame as one of Massachusetts’ top chefs ahead of his marriage to the comedian, but his star rose exponentially once the pair tied the knot in February 2019. The couple, who were introduced by Fischer’s sister Molly Fischer, a.k.a. Schumer’s assistant, share son Gene, who was born in May 2019.

Jimmy Kimmel and Molly McNearney — McNearney was a writer’s assistant on Jimmy Kimmel Live when she fell for the host — and vice versa. She told Glamour in February 2014 that though Kimmel initially insulted her upon meeting, calling her penchant for triathalons “really stupid,” his mastery of the kitchen won her over. “We really liked each other as friends, and then it just kind of turned. He cooked for me, and that was it,” she joked. “It sealed the deal.”

Julia Stiles and Preston J. Cook — Cook not only landed the job of a camera assistant on the set of 2015’s Go With Me, but a future spouse in leading lady Stiles. The couple got engaged in December 2015 and exchanged vows nearly two years later, while the actress was pregnant with the couple’s first child, Strummer.
After giving birth to their son in October 2017, Stiles later welcomed son Arlo in January 2022, and a third baby, whose name and sex haven’t been shared, in late 2023.

Jon Bon Jovi and Dorothea Hurley — The Bon Jovi frontman may have “seen a lot of faces,” but it was Hurley’s that made the biggest impression: The twosome were high-school sweethearts in Sayreville, New Jersey! They tied the knot in April 1989 and haven’t looked back since. The couple share four kids.

Jennifer Garner and John Miller — Us Weekly exclusively revealed in October 2018 that the Peppermint star was dating the businessman. “They’ve been together six months — and it’s getting pretty serious,” a source told Us of the new couple at the time.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Tasha McCauley — Gordon-Levitt hinted to Howard Stern in 2013 that he and McCauley, with whom he shares two kids, met through mutual friends.

He wed the Robotics CEO one year later in December 2014.

Brendon Urie and Sarah Orzechowski — Orzechowski, who has been married to Urie since 2013, proved dreams do come true when she made a big impression on the Panic! at the Disco singer at one of his shows. He told fans in a Reddit AMA in 2014: “I met Sarah while touring for Pretty. Odd. She was dating someone else at the time, but I couldn’t get her out of my mind. By some good fortune and some help from mutual friends, we met up again 8 months later when she happened to be single.”

Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman — The Hunger Games star admitted to Allure in May 2015 that she didn’t expect to marry sports writer Handelman when she first hooked up with him as a teenager. Their love went the distance, however: They got married in 2003 and welcomed kids Felix and Magnus in 2011 and 2012, respectively. “Really, what happened was I’ve never met anyone that I liked more,” she said. “In the early years, did I have crushes or little interests here and there?

Paul Rudd and Julie Yaeger — Yaeger was working as a publicist in New York City when the Ant-Man star, who was a client of her coworker’s and a transplant to the Big Apple, walked in.

Golden Globes' Most Memorable Moments

Us Weekly News

From tears to laughter to full-on cringes, the Golden Globes has always served up plenty of memorable moments.

Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield stole the spotlight when they both lost an award to Ryan Gosling during the 2017 ceremony and immediately embraced in a passionate kiss.

“I just wanted Ryan to know that I loved him no matter whether he won or lost,” Garfield said days later while on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. “It doesn’t matter, it’s how you play the game. He showed up, he gave his all. It doesn’t change anything in my heart.”

In December 2021, Garfield reflected on the surprise smooch. “It was a really fun moment. I said to him, ‘If you win, kiss me instead of Blake [Lively], your wife, because Blake was on the other side.’ He was like, ‘Amazing, let’s do it,'” Garfield recalled during Wired’s auto-complete interview video series.

Not every joke is memorable for the laughter, however. Seth Rogen made audiences cringe when he presented an award alongside Kate Beckinsale in 2011 and said, “Hello, I’m Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection.” Beckinsale chuckled uncomfortably. “How nice,” she replied.

Scroll down for more of the most memorable moments from the Golden Globes throughout the years:

The Year of the Rat Pack — When the Golden Globes first started in 1944, the trophies were presented exclusively by journalists. Then, in 1958, during the first-ever telecast of the awards, Rat Packers Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. stormed the stage -- whiskeys in hand -- and hijacked the show. Much to the delight of their fellow attendees, the trio were invited back for a repeat performance in 1959.

Thank U, Next? — Oliver Stone’s 1979 best screenplay acceptance speech for Midnight Express turned into a rant about the United States’ drug policy. Though host Chevy Chase requested for Stone to “just say ‘thank you’ and leave the stage” and the audience began to boo him, he continued to make his point. Security guards ultimately escorted him off the stage.

Bette’s Other Globes — After her double win at the 1980 Golden Globes -- for Best Actress in The Rose and Best New Female Star -- Bette Midler drew the audience&apos;s attention to two other trophies: her breasts! "I&apos;m reminded of when Joan Crawford actually won her Golden Globe and she said...&apos;I&apos;ll show you a pair of Golden Globes,&apos;" Midler joked, pretending to grope herself. Covering her face in embarrassment after, she said, "Excuse me, I&apos;m sorry. I&apos;m different now. I&apos;m a good girl!"

Potty Humor — Accepting the Best Supporting Actor award for 12 Monkeys in 1996, Brad Pitt started off his speech not by thanking his director, co-stars, or then-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow but by acknowledging "the makers of Kaopectate," a medication that treats indigestion and diarrhea. "I have a nervous stomach, and it works," the A-lister explained later. "I&apos;ll be expecting those calls from Kaopectate any minute now."

Bathroom Break! — Chicago Hope star Christine Lahti almost missed her big moment in the spotlight when Michael J. Fox announced her as the 1998 winner of Best Actress in a TV Drama -- while she was in the bathroom! Running onstage to accept the award, she confessed she had been flushing the toilet when her name was called. The next year, when she presented at the show, Lahti stuck a piece of toilet paper to her shoe as a joke.

A Golden Gift — During his tearful acceptance speech for Don King: Only in America in 1998, Best Actor winner Ving Rhames surprised the crowd by giving away his trophy to fellow nominee Jack Lemmon. "I feel that being an artist is about giving," Rhames said as he handed the award to the 12 Angry Men star, "and I&apos;d like to give this to you, Mr. Jack Lemmon." Lemmon accepted, saying, "That is one of the nicest, sweetest moments I&apos;ve ever known in my life."

Ending the Night on a High Note — When Jack Nicholson accepted the Golden Globe in 2003 for best actor in a drama for About Schmidt, he admitted that he “took a Valium” earlier that evening. The medication helps with treating anxiety, muscle spasms and seizures.

Tough Break — When Richard Gere won the Golden Globe in 2003 for his role in Chicago, he initially couldn’t get through his speech without Sharon Stone repeatedly interrupting him.

Fantastic Mr. Foxx — Jamie Foxx&apos;s 2005 acceptance speech for Ray is widely considered one of the most heartfelt speeches in Golden Globes history. "I wish I could take what I&apos;m feeling right now and put it in the water systems...we would all love each other a whole lot more," he began. Later, he fought back tears as he paid tribute to his late grandmother Estelle Talley. "I used to think it was corny when people would say that people were looking down on you," he said. "I didn&apos;t believe it. But I got a feeling."

Luck of the Draw — House actor Hugh Laurie deserves an award just for his creativity during his 2006 acceptance speech for Best Actor in a TV Series. Realizing he had too many people to thank -- 172! -- and too little time in which to do it, the star wrote down all 172 names on little pieces of paper and drew three at random to acknowledge on stage. The lucky few? His script supervisor, hairstylist, and agent.

Borat Scores Big — Staying true to his trademark no-holds-barred-style of comedy, Borat star Sacha Baron Cohen had the audience doubled over with laughter as he described "the dark side of America" -- a.k.a. the private parts of his co-star Ken Davitian, with whom he filmed an infamous nude wrestling scene. The actor also memorably alluded to the many lawsuits that had been leveled against him after the film by thanking "every American who has not sued me so far."

The F-Bomb Heard ‘Round the Press Room — Former Grey's Anatomy actor Isaiah Washington stunned both his cast mates and reporters in the 2007 Golden Globes press room when he used a slur while discussing an alleged incident between himself and fellow Grey's star T.R. Knight, who came out as gay in 2006. "I did not call T.R. a f----t," he said. "Never happened." Responding to Washington's statement, Knight's pal Katherine Heigl said angrily: "I'm going to be really honest right now. [Isaiah] needs to just not speak in public. Period."

The Host With the Most Insults — During his three-year reign as the host of the Golden Globes, British star Ricky Gervais managed to insult or offend nearly everyone in Hollywood. Nothing was off-limits -- he took aim at Mel Gibson's alcoholism, Charlie Sheen's meltdown, Robert Downey Jr.'s rehab stays, and even Salma Hayek's accent. Addressing the comic's acerbic remarks onstage in 2011, Downey Jr. said sarcastically: "Aside from the fact that it's been hugely mean-spirited with mildly sinister undertones, I'd say the vibe of the show is pretty good so far."

TMI, Seth! — Taking the stage to present the award for Best Actress in a Motion Picture in 2012, Knocked Up star Seth Rogen couldn't contain his excitement. "Hello, I'm Seth Rogen, and I am currently trying to conceal a massive erection," he deadpanned, as his co-presenter, Kate Beckinsale, chuckled uncomfortably. "How nice," she joked.

By George! — Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who hosted the Globes in 2013, 2014 and 2015, repeatedly roasted George Clooney during their tenure. In their final year as hosts, Fey quipped, "George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year. Amal is a human rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria and was selected to a three-person U.N. commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip. So tonight, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award." One year earlier, she mocked his tendency to date younger women, joking, "Gravity is nominated for best film. It&apos;s the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age."

Giving Her Feet a Break — Dame Emma Thompson kept it real when she arrived onstage at the 2014 Golden Globes to present the award for best screenplay. She carried her Louboutins in one hand and a martini glass in the other. “I just want you to know, this red, it’s my blood,” she said to the audience, looking at the red bottom of her designer heels.

Eyes Up Here! — While presenting with Jennifer Lopez at the 2015 ceremony, Jeremy Renner remarked on her cleavage in her glam Zuhair Murad gown. After he asked her to open the envelope, she noted that she had the nails for it, to which he replied, "You&apos;ve got the globes, too." Lopez laughed it off, but people watching from home were not as amused, with some saying the comment was inappropriate. He later responded to the backlash on Twitter, writing, "A reminder not to take this s--t so serious. Thanks Jennifer -- You&apos;re a gem.x #goldenglobes #hadtosayit #jlo"

Leo’s Face, Though! — Leonardo DiCaprio’s reaction when Lady Gaga bumped into him during the 2016 ceremony immediately went viral. "That's trending, huh?" he later told Entertainment Tonight. "I just didn't know what was passing me. I was like, 'Oh!'"

Bromance Alert! — Ryan Reynolds and Andrew Garfield decided to kiss as Ryan Gosling walked to the stage to accept an award during the 2017 ceremony. Reynolds would later joke that wife Blake Lively — who laughed during their intimate moment — was a better kisser than the Hacksaw Ridge actor.

Giving T. Hanks — After grimacing throughout host Ricky Gervais’ no-holds-barred opening monologue, Tom Hanks charmed the 2020 Golden Globes audience with his emotional Cecil B. DeMille Award acceptance speech. “[I’m] a man [who] is blessed. … Blessed with a family sitting down front like that,” he said, tearing up. “A wife, [Rita Wilson], who is fantastic in every way, who has taught me what love is. Five kids who are braver and stronger and wiser than their old man is, and a loving group of people who have put up with me being away months and months at a time.”

(Almost) 99 and Feelin’ Fine — Jason Sudeikis was in awe of Norman Lear as the legendary TV writer noted that he was “close to 99” while accepting the Carol Burnett Award in 2021. “He’s 99? Wow,” the Ted Lasso star mouthed on camera during the virtual ceremony.

Nikki Glaser’s Digs — Glaser made jabs at several stars during her opening monologue at the 2025 Golden Globes. “So, tonight, we celebrate the best of film and hold space for television,” she said. “Yes, Wicked, Queer, Nightbitch: These are not just words Ben Affleck yells after he orgasms. These are some of the incredible movies nominated tonight.”
Glaser also made a comment about Diddy, who was arrested for sex trafficking and more charges in September 2024. (He pleaded not guilty and has denied all allegations.)
“Zendaya is here. Zendaya, you were incredible in Dune [2]. Oh, my God, I woke up for all of your scenes. You were so good,” Glaser said. “And Challengers, girl? It was so good. I mean, that movie was more sexually charged than Diddy’s credit card.”
She continued, “Oh, I’m upset too. The afterparty’s not going to be good this year. But, we have to move on. A Stanley Tucci freak-off just doesn’t have the same ring to it. No baby oil this year, just lots of olive oil.”

Miss & Mr. Golden Globes Over the Years: Photos

Us Weekly News

By: Us Weekly Staff

3 January 2025 at 17:58

Over the years, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has selected the child of a celebrity to carry the torch into awards season and assist with the annual Golden Globe Awards.

The coveted title of Miss and Mr. Golden Globes dates back to 1963 when Donna Douglas and Eva Six shared the honor. The tradition of the role going to a celebrity kid, however, didn’t start until 1971 with Anne Archer, who went on to become a successful actress in her own right.

Being Miss or Mr. Golden Globes — or the Golden Globes Ambassador as it was changed to in 2018 — does include a few in-show responsibilities. Throughout the event, the ambassador assists the presenters in handing out awards and escorting the winners from the stage.

While many stars have held the role over the years, the ambassador program was discontinued in 2021.

Scroll down to meet the Golden Globes Ambassadors of years past:

"Mental health, specifically among African Americans and my peers in particular, is something I really want to be more vocal about. There's this perceived stigma and I've seen friends struggle. We need to empower young people to not be afraid to ask for help."

Dylan and Paris Brosnan — Pierce Brosnan’s sons, Dylan, 22, and Paris, 18, split the Golden Globes Ambassador role during the 2020 ceremony on January 5. “So proud of our sons Dylan and Paris to the ambassadors for the Golden Globes 2020,” the Die Another Day star wrote via Instagram on November 15, 2019.

Taylor Swift, Kate Beckinsale and more of Hollywood’s biggest stars have one serious obsession with their furry feline friends.

The “Lover” singer has never been shy about her love for pets Meredith Grey and Olivia Benson, named for some of her favorite fictional characters. The Nashville native adopted her third cat, Benjamin Button, on the set of a music video in 2019.

While speaking with TIME in April 2019, the Grammy winner admitted that the “most influential factor” in her life is her cuddly kittens. “I have cats. I’m obsessed with them,” she said at the time. “They’re just a real joy to live with.”

Despite their past “Bad Blood,” Swift’s obsession with kittens is one thing she has in common with fellow cat lover Katy Perry. The “I Kissed a Girl” singer confirmed in April 2022 that her darling pet Kitty Purry had passed away.

“Kitty Purry crawled through my then-boyfriend’s window 15 years ago, fully pregnant and seeking shelter,” Perry wrote via Instagram at the time. “Kitty, thanks for the cuddles and companionship along the way.”

Carrie Fisher's Life in Pictures and Memorable Quotes

Carrie Fisher left behind a legacy that friends and fans will never forget following her December 2016 death at the age of 60.

The actress was best known for her role as Princess Leia in Star Wars, which daughter Billie Lourd (whom Fisher shared with ex-husband Bryan Lourd) has consistently been in awe of through the years.

“I wanted to hate [Star Wars] so I could tell her how lame she was,” Billie said during her mother’s posthumous Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2023. “Like any kid, I didn’t want my mom to be hot or cool — she was my mom. But that day, staring at the screen, I realized no one is, or will ever be, as hot or as cool as Princess Leia.”

She continued, “People of all ages from all over the world were dressed up like my mom, the lady who sang me to sleep at night and held me when I was scared. Watching the amount of joy it brought to people when she hugged them … was incredible to witness.”

Billie later joined the Star Wars universe herself, costarring with her mom in 2015’s The Force Awakens and 2017’s The Last Jedi both filmed before Fisher’s death.

Scroll down for more of Fisher’s iconic photos and quotes:

A Star Is Born — Carrie Fisher was born on October 21, 1956, to Hollywood star Debbie Reynolds and Eddie Fisher. Her dad scandalized Hollywood when he infamously left her mother for Elizabeth Taylor. Reynolds surprisingly stayed friends with Taylor, who even left her some of her jewelry after her 2011 death.

A Scholar — Fisher, a self-proclaimed bookworm, attended Beverly Hills High School (pictured above in 1972 during her sophomore year) before appearing alongside her mother, Reynolds, in the 1973 Broadway revival Irene.

Wedding Bells — After a brief relationship with Dan Aykroyd, Fisher went on to date and later marry Paul Simon in 1983, but they split up a year later. The musician’s song “Hearts and Bones” is about their relationship.

Three Generations — Fisher welcomed her only child, daughter and Scream Queens actress Billie Lourd, in July 1992. After three years together, Carrie’s ex and Billie’s dad, Bryan Lourd, left her and came out as bisexual, and is now married to Bruce Bozzi.

Her Affair With Harrison Ford — In her memoir The Princess Diarist, Fisher revealed she had an affair with Star Wars costar Harrison Ford. “It was so intense,” she wrote. “It was Han and Leia during the week, and Carrie and Harrison during the weekend.”

The actress was open about suffering from bipolar disorder. In her book and show Wishful Drinking, she said that “living with manic depression takes a tremendous amount of balls” and it's “something to be proud of, not ashamed of.”

Never a Dull Moment — The When Harry Met Sally actress, pictured above with Bill Murray on Saturday Night Live, was known for her witty remarks. In her book Wishful Drinking she joked, “I feel I'm very sane about how crazy I am.”

A Jokester — “People are still asking me if I knew Star Wars was going to be that big of a hit,” Fisher once said. “Yes, we all knew. The only one who didn’t know was George [Lucas].” She also once joked that her “life is like a lone, forgotten Q-Tip in the second-to-last drawer.”

Woman’s Best Friend — The actress never went anywhere without her beloved pooch, Gary. The bulldog was even by the star’s side when she suffered a massive heart attack while aboard a flight from London to LAX in December 2016.

Her Final Role — The trailer for Fisher's final film, Wonderwell, was released after several delays. The late actress played Hazel, a mysterious leader from a magical land. She wrapped filming six weeks before her December 2016 death.
