The popular HGTV renovation show Fixer to Fabulous appears to have been impacted by a divorce. If you’re a fan of the show, you may have noticed that Chase Looney is no longer a member of the cast. His abrupt, unexplained departure has sparked questions and rumors among viewers. Chase Looney Was a Member of The ‘Fixer to Fabulous’ Family From the Start Chase Looney appears on Fixer to Fabulous on HGTV. (HGTV) Though Dave and Jenny Marr are the names most commonly associated with Fixer to Fabulous, Chase was along for the ride from the very beginning. “He wasn’t really given an option NOT to be with us on the show, but he graciously came along for the ride and we couldn’t imagine not having him with us,” Jenny once wrote on Facebook, according to Closer (via Yahoo!). Sadly, shortly after filming the pilot episode, Chase was badly injured in a freak accident. Chase Looney’s Eye Injury: What Happened? In July of 2022, Chase was setting up a fireworks display when one of the projectiles went off and struck him in the eye. Dave and Jenny Marrs on their HGTV show ‘Fixer to Fabulous.’ (HGTV) “The following days in the hospital, I was given the news that I lost my eye,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “That it would have to be removed. That I might not have movement in the left side of my face and that the scarring would be permanent,” “I told them, ‘I don’t think I have the face for TV anymore.’ Through tears and laughter, they reassured me I never had a face for TV anyway,” he wrote. Chase continued to appear on the show, now with an eye patch. But it looks as though his TV tenure has now come to an end. Fixer to Fabulous Divorce: What Happened? Though he’s never explicitly confirmed as much, it looks as though Chase and his wife, Chelsie, have called it quits. Chase Looney on the HGTV show Fixer to Fabulous. (HGTV) In January of 2023, Chelsie alluded to the split in a Facebook post. “Life is different with just the three of us,” Chase captioned a photo of his two children shortly thereafter. One month later, he confirmed his departure from Fixer to Fabulous. “Flashback to a simple, farm-style table I did for a little show I used to be a part of,” Chase captioned a photo of a picnic table. “Miss you brother!” Dave Marrs commented on the post. “So happy the fire department is going well. Great stuff and hope you come back to the team soon!” So it seems that Chase has returned to his previous career as a firefighter. “Any chance you’ll be in fixer to fabulous season 5? Miss seeing you bud, you should have your own show,” a fan commented ahead of the show’s most recent season premiere. “Sorry, no chance. But thank you so much for the kind words,” Looney replied. Due to the timing, it’s safe to assume that Chase’s departure from the show was related to his divorce. But it might be a long time before we have any additional information.

Dream alum Melissa Schuman has made her Nick Carter allegations public. Backstreet Boys member Nick Carter has been challenging the women who accuse him of rape in court. His attorneys have attempted to prove that, despite a California law allowing survivors to report sexual assault after the fact, that their cases don’t qualify to due to the statute of limitations. Carter has not had much luck convincing the court of that. Not in the case of Melissa Schuman, one of his accusers.

(Photo Credit: Scott Eisen/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Multiple women have accused Nick Carter of sexual assault In January of 2024, Rolling Stone offered a detailed account of Nick Carter’s failed attempt to dismiss former Dream singer Melissa Schuman’s rape lawsuit. His legal team argued that Schuman’s case belonged in Las Vegas. Notably, Carter had already filed suit against Schuman and two other women who accused him of sexual assault. Famous men suing their accusers for “defamation” can have a ripple effect. Not only is it a strategy to combat allegations, but it can silence others who might speak out — against anyone who might have the funds to sue.

(Photo Credit: Presley Ann/Getty Images) Melissa Schuman accuses Nick Carter of raping her in 2003 As the judge noted, Schuman alleged that Nick Carter sexually assaulted her in Santa Monica, California (notably not in Vegas) in 2003. Carter’s team’s argument included a claim that the court case should take place in Vegas to avoid “inconsistent rulings” with Carter’s other case, like the lawsuit by Sannon Ruth and the lawsuit by Jane Doe A.R. “The alleged conduct occurred in California,” the judge ruled in January. “The community has an interest in resolving claims arising out of conduct in this jurisdiction.” Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys attends “Bingo Under The Stars” in celebration of Pride, hosted by members of NSYNC and Backstreet Boys at The Grove on June 18, 2021. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Los Angeles prosecutors dismissed Melissa Schuman’s criminal case against Nick Carter in 2018 In 2017, Schuman shared her allegations against Carter. She accused him of having sexually assaulted her during the early 2000s, and specifically of using his status as a popular entertainer to gain access to and coerce alleged victims like her. After going public, Melissa Schuman wrote online on her personal blog (which does not appear to exist any longer, though People documented its contents) that the two had been working together at his house. Carter and Schuman appeared in a film together. Schuman alleged that after some kissing, Carter performed oral sex on her in a bathroom without her consent and over her objections. She told him, she wrote, that she was a virgin and wished to wait to have sex until marriage. According to Schuman’s description of events, he then led her to his bedroom and raped her.

(Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images for iHeartMedia) Nick Carter has denied Melissa Schuman’s sexual assault allegations In fact, he has denied all of the rape allegations. The result has been legal battles against the women who have come forward. Memorably, and prior to his tragic death in 2022, Nick’s younger brother Aaron Carter publicly sided with Nick’s accusers. Aaron had a long and troubled history, but people still paid attention when he spoke up. Now, on the heels of Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV, a new four-part docuseries will cover Nick Carter and Aaron Carter, including the allegations against the former. ‘Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter’ airs on Monday, May 27, and Tuesday, May 28 Investigation Discovery and Max (formerly HBO Max, back when it was good) will run Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter on two nights. Notably, Melissa Schuman’s allegations are part of the docuseries. So are the late Aaron Carter’s social media posts, showing support to his brother’s accusers. This is certainly a situation full of uncomfortable topics and various legal and personal complexities. It’s unclear if one docuseries can do justice to even one set of allegations, let alone to them all and the Carter family dynamic.

Meri Brown simply cannot win when it comes to her professional life. Previously, the long-time Sister Wives star worked as a salesperson for LuLaRoe, a fashion company that pretty much everyone believes to be a pyramid scheme. It really did seem like a pretty shady endeavor. Now, meanwhile, Meri appears to have left that business behind… Meri Brown opens up here to the TLC cameras. (TLC) … but many fans aren’t thrilled with what she has replaced it with. Just a few days ago, Meri announced that she had launched a company named after a phrase she often uses on social media: Worthy Up. “I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I had to Worthy Up,” Brown shared via the company’s Facebook page on Friday, April 26. “This community is a place where I will share my personal experiences of growth and hope to support you in your journey, too.” Meri Brown looks a little bit concerned in this scene from Sister Wives. (TLC) According to this Facebook page, Worthy Up is “a community focused on transformation and self discovery” and “a safe space for individuals to grow, connect, and inspire one another.” We said at the time of our reporting that we weren’t exactly sure what any of this meant; we were confused by what the company actually does. Fast forward to May 6 and Meri talking more in depth in an Instagram video about this “passion project.” At one point, Brown mentioned that membership costs for Worthy Up cost anywhere from $150 to $600 per year, prompting quite a bit of consternation and annoyance from a number of users. Meri Brown appears to be ruminating on life in this photo from an episode of Sister Wives. (TLC) “What is this that would cost $600 a year? Putting your self on a list? I don’t understand what this is about?” one fan asked. “What IS it? The ‘community’ what does that mean?” another user commented, while a third fan agreed as follows: “Is it an [MLM]? A book? A course? A podcast? What is it?? What are ppl paying for??” We very much agree with this sentiment. In the clip above, Meri is sitting on a porch and looking down at her knees, prior to stating in a voiceover: “I’m done allowing other people to determine my worth. My voice will be heard.” The video then goes over to Meri in a confessional … explaining that she’s had times where she’s felt “supported,” but also times where she was in a “dark place.” However, she knew she was “not the only person in the world” who dealt with this, saying into the camera: “I really wanted to be able to tell the full truth about myself. And while doing that, helping other people to understand that just because they exist, they are worthy.” (Instagram) This sounds very admirable. And we appreciate the perspective Meri has often had on her life, its trials, its tribulations and all she’s gone through with Kody Brown. Of Worthy Up this week, Meri continued: “I’m so excited to see it come to fruition! I’ve spent the better part of the past decade taking a good look at myself and figuring out who I am, what I want, and where I’m going. I knew I had to Worthy Up! “The community I’ve created is a place where I will be sharing my personal experiences of growth, and want to support you in yours, as well! Remember, simply because you exist, YOU are worthy!!” Meri Brown sits here and is grilled as part of the Sister Wives Season 17 tell-all special. (TLC) The company offers three different membership tiers, according to the website. With the $150 Insight Membership, fans get a digital membership for the remainder of 2024, as well as access to the Worthy Up Facebook group, a “printable pdf WOW workbook,” an “accountability community” and first access to knowledge about upcoming events and merchandise. The $300 Inspiration Membership comes with all of the above, plus “one interactive virtual live discussion” per month and a Worthy Up merchandise package. Finally, the $600 Impact Membership offers all of the above, plus a discount on events and next year’s membership and a “surprise bonus gift from Meri.” Meri Brown is Getting CRUSHED for Cost of Joining Her New Company was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Jason Duggar recently posted a shirtless gym selfie. Normally, a 24-year-old sharing a pic in order to show off his fitness progress wouldn’t be a big deal. But Jason is a Duggar, which means he’s been raised with very strict rules regarding modesty and attire. Jason Duggar appears on his family’s TLC reality show. (TLC) So when Jason posted a shirtless selfie to his Instagram Story (via The Sun) earlier this week, you can be certain that his parents were not especially pleased. Fortunately, it seems that Jason is not overly concerned with what his parents think. Is Jason Duggar the New Black Sheep of the Family? Over the years, several members of the Duggar family have pushed back against Jim Bob’s authoritarian rule. Jinger Duggar speaks to the camera here on TLC. (TLC) Jinger was once known as “the rebel Duggar,” and she earned that title by marrying a man her parents didn’t approve of and then moving to LA. And then there’s Jill Duggar, who recently published a memoir in which she spoke candidly about her family’s many scandals. And we can’t forget Amy, who has been criticizing Jim Bob for years, most notably during her appearance in the Amazon Prime documentary Shiny Happy People. Amy Duggar appears in the recent Amazon documentary series Shiny Happy People. (Photo Credit: Amazon) But in recent years, Jason Duggar has emerged as an unexpected rebel. Notably, he’s one of the first male Duggars to publicly go against his parents’ teachings. Of course, his acts of defiance are relatively minor when compared to what his sisters and cousin have accomplished. Jason Duggar speaks to the camera during an appearance on his family’s TLC reality show. (TLC) This is not the first time that Jason has posted a shirtless gym selfie, and he seems unconcerned by the fact that his parents oppose such behavior. The Duggar Dress Code Is Strictly Enforced The Duggar dress code has become infamous in recent years. And while it mostly applies to the female members of the family, men and boys are not exempt. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar of The Learning Channel TV show “19 Kids and Counting” speak at the Values Voter Summit on September 17, 2010 in Washington, DC. T (Photo by Brendan Hoffman/Getty Images) So Jason knew that he would face disapproval from his parents by posting such a pic. But it seems that he didn’t really care. Was he inspired by the rebellious example set by the female rebels in his family? It’s tough to say. There have been rumors that Jason and Jill don’t get along, and he seems to be more politically conservative than some of his more progressive sisters. But we’re guessing Jason’s parents wish that he would lean even harder to the right. And that he would keep his shirt on while he’s at it.

One of the sons of Jon Bon Jovi is now a married man. If you’re not sure which one of the legendary singer‘s progeny just got hitched, that’s because his adult children seem to be very lucky in love. In this case, it’s Jesse Bongiovi. Though his brother’s relationship is certainly more famous, Jesse’s beautiful new wife also works in the entertainment industry. Jon Bon Jovi and Jesse Bongiovi attend the New Era In Florida Gaming Event at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood on December 07, 2023. (Photo Credit: Mireya Acierto/Getty Images) Jesse Bongiovi, son of Jon Bon Jovi, married Jesse Light As we said, Jon Bon Jovi’s adult kids are giving love a good name. (Sorry) According to a report by TMZ, both public records and their sources say that Jesse Bongiovi married Jesse Light in Vegas. Per the report, Jesse obtained a marriage license for himself and for his new bride on Tuesday, May 7. Their sources then confirmed that the two followed through (rather than waiting months; a Nevada marriage license can be used within a year. That seems to fit with Jesse Light’s Instagram activity, as she’d been more than dropping hints about a wedding during the weeks before the nuptials. In late April, the bride was showing off and partying in a white dress with a veil. Congratulations to Jesse Bongiovi and Jesse Light! Though not even TMZ seems to know exactly where Jesse and Jesse tied the knot, everyone’s happy for the couple. Similarly, we don’t know who attended the Vegas nuptials. Jon Bon Jovi once walked a fan down the aisle there, but that doesn’t mean that he was there for his second-eldest child’s big day. Unlike his father, Jesse is not really a public figure in that sense. He has a business — one with a successful rosé company. Jesse and Jesse announced their engagement on social media in the summer of 2022. As for Mrs. Jesse, she works as a television producer. Her projects include Southern Hospitality, Grand Cayman: Secrets in Paradise, and Dr. Down Below. Their relationship has not been a secret. However, it is also not necessarily the most well-known of Jon Bon Jovi’s children’s romances.

(Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Jake Bongiovi is engaged to Millie Bobby Brown It is not being mean to say that Jesse’s brother’s romance with the extremely accomplished young adult actress is more high-profile. That’s just the truth. Jake and Millie began dating in 2021. In 2023, he proposed — and she said yes. Millie gained instant, worldwide name recognition for her role on Stranger Things. Since then, she has hit it out of the park with projects like Enola Holmes and Damsel. She also gets name-dropped in the worst ways during rapper beefs.

His eldest daughter, Stephanie, is also engaged. One of his children is still (to the best of anyone’s knowledge) single. But Romeo was born in 2004, and a barely 20-year-old not being engaged is, frankly, normal. Congratulations to Jesse and to Jesse. Their sharing of a name should be either really convenient or a little confusing for people. Probably both.

Prince William has left Kate Middleton overnight. It’s his first trip of this kind in months, and with good reason. During recent months, Prince William and Kate Middleton’s lives have been “hell,” as some reports have put it. Kate’s cancer battle is the most significant factor. But it is not the only issue that the Prince and Princess of Wales are facing. Even the monarchy’s harshest critics can understand why William has avoided straying far from home. This is his first overnight trip since Kate’s diagnosis.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Kate Middleton received her cancer diagnosis in January On Thursday, May 9, Prince William took a major step. He embarked upon his first overnight trip away from the Princess of Wales following her cancer diagnosis, let alone her cancer reveal to the public. According to a report by Fox News, William feels “very relaxed” about the decision. Despite the circumstances. Part of that may be the purpose of his trip. He traveled to the Duchy of Cornwall (an estate that belongs to him as crown prince) to work on a housing project. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends The “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Ian Pelham is a royal expert, and he spoke about Prince William’s housing project that took him away from Kate Middleton (for a short time). “Homeward, the charity for homeless people, is very much at the heart of what William wishes to drive forward,” Pelham emphasized. “And, in reality, is only a short flight away if Kate had any sudden issues.” The expert explained: “As the Prince of Wales, he also inherits the Duchy of Cornwall, where he is staying overnight in the county.” Prince William, Prince of Wales and Catherine, Princess of Wales clap during the Royal Variety Performance at the Royal Albert Hall on November 30, 2023. (Photo Credit: Aaron Chown – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Though William takes after Charles in some unfortunate ways, he also walks in his late mother’s footsteps “I know through contacts close to William working with him on the project that he works tirelessly every day to make the rough sleepers project work,” Pelham continued. Notably, “rough sleepers” is a very British euphemism for people experiencing homelessness. The euphemism understates the predicament, as if they were insomniacs, but it could be much worse. “There are several sites around the country which he hopes will be developed to offer rough sleepers support,” Pelham added.

(Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) “Obviously, William feels that Kate is on the mend now,” Pelham then asserted. “And,” the royal expert then reported, “he has been very relaxed leaving London and seen in Cornwall.” Pelham was quick to pivot to discussing the house-building project. He teased that William is likely to make further visits, and to involve “one of the richest men in Britain.” Britain’s Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Britain’s Catherine, Princess of Wales, arrive for a a State Banquet at Buckingham Palace in central London on November 21, 2023. (Photo Credit: YUI MOK/POOL/AFP via Getty Images) Leaving Kate overnight is a big step With the exception of the documented, grim phenomenon of men who abandon their wives during cancer treatments, most loving partners are reluctant to leave a cancer patient’s side. They might need you. Or things could very rapidly become worse. But Prince William knows that Kate Middleton has first-rate medical care. He also has a lot of responsibilities. British taxpayers contribute tens of millions to his family every year and afford them vast legal and political privileges. Giving back is part of that social contract. And given King Charles’ cancer battle, it’s possible that William’s role within the family may expand sooner than anyone had imagined.

As you may have previously heard, Kris Jenner will reveal that on The Kardashians Season 5 that she was recently diagnosed with a tumor. This is obviously a very frightening development for the polarizing television personality. Aside from Jenner’s physical health, however, another major focus of new episodes of this Hulu reality series will be the health of a certain relationship between sisters. The Kardashians is coming back for another season on Hulu, as you can see here. (Hulu) No, we’re not talking about Kim Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian, who previously feuded on air. Instead, this summer, it looks like the focus will shift to Kim Kardashian and Khloe Kardashian. In the first trailer for Season 5, Kim tells viewers that she and her loved ones have agreed to slow down a bit this year so that they can be “present in the moment,” only for Khloe to scoff and laugh and remark: “Have the Kardashians slowed down? No.” Khloe Kardashian attends the Grand Opening of the Guitar Hotel expansion at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Hollywood, in Hollywood, Florida, October 24, 2019. (Photo by ZAK BENNETT/AFP via Getty Images) From there, the preview cuts to shots of family members at Fashion Week, along with Kim entering her “actress era” with her role on American Horror Story: Delicate… Kourtney’s pregnancy with Travis Barker… and then, as cited above, a bit of fighting between siblings. In the video, Kim trashes Khloe for being “very judgmental,” prior to eventually labeling her as “unbearable” — while telling her sister she has a “stick up your ass.” Yikes, huh?!? As the two clash, Khloe informs Kim that she is “going through a lot right now” and “taking it out on me,” before Kim yells at Khloe to “get out!” Kim Kardashian attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) As is often the case, these brand new episodes were filmed a long time ago, as a lot of time it spent on Kourtney’s high-risk pregnancy… even though Kardashian gave birth months ago. There’s also this fun quote from Khloe, who points to her chest in the promo and states: “These aren’t my nipples, just so you guys know. They’re Kim’s.” We’re glad we now know this, whatever the heck that means.

A judge ruled this week that music legend Brian Wilson should be placed under a conservatorship due to a “major neurocognitive disorder.” The legendary singer-songwriter will now enter a guardianship controlled by his manager LeeAnn Hard and publicist Jean Sievers. According to a report from USA Today, Wilson did not object to the ruling. Brian Wilson performs Pet Sounds at the Pantages Theatre on May 26, 2017 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Brian Wilson’s Conservatorship: Everything We Know Best known for his work with the Beach Boys, Wilson, 81, has been battling dementia for several years. In January, his wife, Melinda Wilson, passed away suddenly at the age of 77. The situation left Brian in need of a caretaker. And thankfully, it sounds like he will now receive the help that he needs.

(Photo credit should read JOHN MACDOUGALL/AFP via Getty Images) “The court finds from clear and convincing evidence that a conservatorship of the person is necessary and appropriate in that (Wilson) is unable to care for (his) person,” Judge Gus T. May wrote in Thursday’s ruling. “The conservatorship is the least restrictive alternative needed for the protection of conservatee.” May added that Hard and Sievers have been granted the authority to “authorize the administration of medications appropriate for the care and treatment” Brian Wilson, leader and co-founder of the rock band the Beach Boys, performs on the Pet Sounds: The Final Performances Tour at ACL Live on May 13, 2017 in Austin, Texas. (Photo credit should read SUZANNE CORDEIRO/AFP via Getty Images) Brian Wilson Pays Tribute to Late Wife Wilson has not made any sort of public statement since he paid tribute to his wife shortly after she passed. “Our five children and I are just in tears. We are lost,” Wilson wrote on his website at the time. “Melinda was more than my wife. She was my savior. She gave me the emotional security I needed to have a career,” he continued.

Obviously, in that case, the guardianship was not in Britney’s best interest. And the people who seized control of her life abused their power. However, in the case of Brian Wilson, it seems all involved parties agree that a conservatorship is the best option. Here’s hoping this living legend will receive all the help he needs.

As you may have heard by now, Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber have a very exciting reason to feel extremely blessed at the moment: They are expecting their first child! On Thursday, the singer and the supermodel shared this unexpected bombshell via Instagram, with Justin posting a montage of photos that feature his wife and her impressive baby bump. Indeed, Hailey is a full six months along in her pregnancy. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 3, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Now, meanwhile, astute fans are wondering whether or not the spouses have twice the reasons to feel twice as ecstatic as they originally assumed. Why? Because they might be having twins! To be clear, neither half of the couple has confirmed the gender of its impending child or even hinted that two babies might be on the way. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend The 2021 Met Gala Celebrating In America: A Lexicon Of Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on September 13, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) However, Bieber’s mother, Patti Mallette, wrote the following as a comment … responding yesterday to Stephen Baldwin’s social media message about the pregnancy. “Congratulations Grandpa! WE ARE GONNA HAVE THE CUTEST GRAND-BABIES EVER!” You can see where the confusion and curiosity lies, right? Mallette pluralized the word BABIES, causing folks to speculate that twins might be on the way.

Rodriguez/Getty Images) And, hey, they might be. Except… “No not twins lol I wish,” Patti later clarified. “I just mean in general. Hopefully they will have more than one eventually. They will make beautiful babies whenever they have them. One is enough for now.” The pregnancy news comes amid far too many rumors of marital trouble between the Biebers. In late March, a source sounded pretty confident in telling In Touch Weekly that Hailey was looking to separate from Justin. “Hailey’s struggling,” this tabloid wrote back then. “She just needs time to sort things out on her own.” Justin Bieber and wife Hailey Rhode Bieber watch Game Seven of the Eastern Conference First Round during the 2019 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs at TD Garden on April 23, 2019 in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Omar Rawlings/Getty Images) Hailey eventually took it upon herself to shoot down such personal and wayward speculation. “Just FYI,” Hailey began on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, March 5. “The stories and constant ‘blind items’ I see on TikTok are 100% of the time wrong.” She went on to describe these claims as “made out of thin air … come from the land of delusion.” Concluded the mother-to-be at the time: “I know it may be fun feeding into these stories. But just know they’re always false.” Hailey Baldwin attends the 2023 Baby2Baby Gala Presented By Paul Mitchell at Pacific Design Center on November 11, 2023.

This will be the next important project for him. He’s so excited to raise his baby. They have a name that they think is perfect. T “hey’re also starting to decorate a nursery. They can’t wait to meet the baby.” Hailey Bieber and Justin Bieber: Expecting Twins?!?!?!? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have reunited following a very controversial week. As we previously reported, Harry made a trip to London this week to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The trip generated criticism for a couple of reasons: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex lay ferns and a wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Warrior at the newly unveiled UK war memorial and Pukeahu National War Memorial Park, on October 28, 2018, in Wellington, New Zealand. (Photo by Rosa Woods – Pool/Getty Images) For one thing, Harry did not make time to visit with his father, even though King Charles is currently battling cancer. On top of that, Meghan did not join Harry on his latest trip home. She did, however, meet him at London’s Heathrow Airport, where the couple embarked on the next leg of their journey together.

After rendezvousing at Heathrow’s VIP Windsor Suite, the couple set off for Nigeria together. Harry and Meghan had been invited by Nigeria’s chief of defense staff, the country’s highest-ranking military official.

The Post reports that the Sussexes were greeted by cheering crowds. Later today, Harry is scheduled to meet with injured service members at a military hospital.

Harry and Meghan’s Trip Likely to Draw Criticism Needless to say, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keeping very busy and doing some very important work But despite the obvious good intentions at work here, the couple is likely to receive some harsh criticism from the UK tabloid press.

Santiago/Getty Images) For starters, Meghan’s decision to skip the UK leg of the trip was already controversial. The news that she flew to London but never left the airport is likely to spark some performative outrage from the usual suspects. On top of that, Harry and Meghan are no longer working royals. And in the past, they’ve been criticized for treating their international trips as though they were royal tours.

(Photo by Chris Jackson – Pool/Getty Images) Of course, the people of Nigeria probably don’t care that this trip is not an official royal engagement. The fact is, Harry and Meghan are using their platform to enrich lives and call attention to important issues. But disparaging the Sussexes is big business in the UK. And since Meghan receives criticism for just about everything she does, you can be sure that this humanitarian trip will be no exception.

Jennifer Love Hewitt was pregnant in real life when her 9-1-1 character was. Happenstance, or was she the cause of the storyline? Over the years, Jennifer Love Hewitt has shared her “mommy moments” with fans. Many other parents have related to her experiences. But she’s also a working actress. For years, she has been part of the cast of 9-1-1. Hewitt was pregnant at the same time as her on-screen character. Did they write that into the storyline? Or was it a coincidence? Jennifer Love Hewitt attends the FOX Summer TCA 2019 All-Star Party at Fox Studios on August 07, 2019. (Photo Credit: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) ‘9-1-1’ star Jennifer Love Hewitt was pregnant when her character was For context, Jennifer Love Hewitt portrays Maddie Buckley on 9-1-1. Buckley is a trained nurse, a 911 operator, and the sister of the show’s firefighter character, Evan “Buck” Buckley. During Season 4 of 9-1-1, which aired from September of 2021 through May of 2022, Maddie Buckley became pregnant. It was a complex storyline involving a strained relationship and her postpartum journey. In May of 2021, Hewitt announced that she was pregnant. In September of 2021, she welcomed her third child, Aidan. She shared the news on Instagram at the time. Hewitt was already the mother of Autumn, whom she welcomed with husband Brian Hallisay in 2013, and Atticus, whom they welcomed in 2015. On screen, Maddie Buckley and her boyfriend, Howard “Howie” Han (who also goes by “Chimney”), learned about the (fictional) pregnancy on Season 3, Episode 18. This led to their characters welcoming Jee-Yun, their daughter, on Season 4, Episode 9.

(Photo Credit: JB Lacroix/Getty Images) Did ‘9-1-1’ add a pregnancy storyline because Jennifer Love Hewitt was pregnant? In March of 2022, Jennifer Love Hewitt spoke to TV Line to explain that her pregnancy coinciding with Maddie’s was a pure coincidence. “When we started doing Maddie’s pregnancy storyline, I was not pregnant,” she clarified. “But very quickly into that storyline, I found out that I was.” Hewitt continued: “So I was pregnant while she was pregnant.” Jennifer Love Hewitt attends FOX Summer TCA 2018 All-Star Party at Soho House on August 2, 2018. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) “And with the timing of everything, I also ended up sort of being on my own postpartum journey as I was filming her postpartum episodes,” Jennifer Love Hewitt then acknowledged. “It was very interesting timing throughout the whole thing for her and I. It was actually very helpful,” she observed. “My postpartum was sort of rushed through because I had to give it all to Maddie.” Hewitt continued: “[Playing that character] gave me a place to put all the emotions. So it helped me, in real life, push through it probably a lot faster than I would have. I was very grateful for that.” Actress Jennifer Love Hewitt attends the 2018 Fox Network Upfront at Wollman Rink, Central Park on May 14, 2018. (Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Jennifer Love Hewitt is glad that ‘9-1-1’ included the postpartum storyline On 9-1-1, Maddie suffered from postpartum depression. She ended up leaving Jee-Yun and Chimney and moving to Boston (temporarily). This story arc was not entirely coincidental. It was written to give Hewitt a break, so that she could go on maternity leave after welcoming Aidan. Six months (in the story) later, Maddie and Chimney reunited … but found that they had broken up. So even though they returned to L.A. together, they broke up. They did get back together on the Season 6 premiere, however. “I appreciated that in Maddie’s storyline, we really get into how part of what happened to her was just a missed hormone panel that no one paid attention to,” she expressed. “Because she fell into this rare category of people who needed this certain kind of thing for her thyroid.” She pointed out: “There’s a real hole in mental health for women after they have a baby in that it’s very much like walking on egg shells.” Hewitt explained: “No one wants to upset the tired new mom who’s breastfeeding and doing all of this. And the moms are sitting there like, ‘Why isn’t anybody asking if I’m OK? I don’t feel right.’” Jennifer Love Hewitt Was Really Pregnant Alongside ‘9-1-1’ Character: … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley have reached the end of their romantic line. Late on Thursday, The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and the British businessman confirmed via Instagram that they were pulling the plug on their marriage of nine years. They did so with a joint statement. Dorit Kemsley and Paul “PK” Kemsley arrive for the iGo.live Launch Event at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on July 26, 2017 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Greg Doherty/Getty Images) “We as a couple have been subject to a lot of speculation about our marriage,” the estranged spouses wrote on social media. “We have had our struggles over the last few years and continue to work through them as two people who love each other and share two amazing children together. “To safeguard our deep friendship and maintain a harmonious environment for our children we have made the mutual and difficult decision to take some time apart and reevaluate our relationship while we prioritize our children. “We appreciate your love and support while we continue to do the work necessary throughout this journey.” The reality stars walked down the aisle in 2015. They are parents to daughter named Phoenix and a son named Jagger. News of the couple’s separation comes about eight months after Dorit and PK denied there were issues in their relationship, releasing a statement to People Magazine in October 2023 that said this: “We remain committed to working through these issues as a united couple for our family. We have not separated nor are we planning to do so. “Rather, we are focused on healing, making changes and doing the things that many couples have to do at some point in their marriage.” Dorit Kemsley attends the 2022 People’s Choice Awards at Barker Hangar on December 6, 2022 in Santa Monica, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) On the latest season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills — which was just renewed this week by Bravo — Dorit grappled with PTSD following a home invasion, along with her husband’s apparent lack of understanding of what she was going through as a result of this trauma. After confessing to the aforementioned “challenging years” back in October, Kemsley was asked by host Andy Cohen what transpired on the show’s reunion. “After we wrapped [filming], things got progressively worse and him and I were probably at an all time bad,” she told the producer, even saying back then that PK stayed at a hotel for a period of time. “We were struggling and we were working through things.” Dorit Kemsley attends the 2022 MTV Movie and TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and broadcast on June 5, 2022. (Photo by Rich Polk/Getty Images for MTV) Concluded Kemsley on this personal topic back then: “PK was drinking a lot and he’s a drinker. I just think that its very difficult to have clear-headed conversations when he’s drinking so much, so he gave up drinking. “That was a very pivotal moment, so things are — knock on wood — as good as they can possibly be.” Alas, this is no longer the case for Dorit and PK. We wish them both all the best as they move forward. Dorit Kemsley and PK Kemsley: It’s Over After 9 Years of Marriage! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Christina Hendricks has both marriage and divorce in her history. Part of the intense legacy of Mad Men is that it introduced a massive audience to the talented Christina Hendricks. Her personal life has, at times, been an open book. She has spoken very directly about love, marriage, and divorce. What is the beloved actress’ current relationship status? Christina Hendricks attends the FASHION TRUST U.S. Awards 2024 on April 09, 2024. (Photo Credit: Monica Schipper/Getty Images) Christina Hendricks met Geoffrey Arend in 2007 After years of guest and recurring appearances, Christina Hendricks landed the role of Joan P. Halloway on Mad Men. Though her agency dropped her for taking a job that they were convinced was doomed, the decision paid off. Mad Men was a success, and her acting on the show brought her massive name recognition. Mad Men was also how she met Geoffrey Arend. Arend, also an actor, is close friends with Mad Men actor Vincent Kartheiser. Christina Hendricks and Geoffrey Arend attend IMDb LIVE At The Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards® Viewing Party on February 24, 2019. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for IMDb) In a Cosmopolitan UK interview March of 2012, Christina Hendricks would recall meeting Arend in 2007. It was, at the very least, interest at first sight. “Geoffrey walked in and I was like, ‘Who is this guy?’ He had amazing hair and was all disheveled,” she described. Never underestimate the value of having good hair. Hendricks elaborated: “He was running late and everyone was waiting for him. He just came in with this very high energy.” Christina Hendricks attends the Vivienne Westwood Womenswear Spring/Summer 2024. (Photo Credit: Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images) Together, Christina Hendricks and Geoffrey Arend became puppy parents “He was just charming, funny, and very magnetic,” Hendricks detailed. So, under the pretense of simply being friends, she got his number. By December of 2008, Hendricks and Arend were engaged. On October 11, 2009, the two married in an intimate ceremony at a New York restaurant. Together, they adopted two dogs, starting with a cockapoo puppy, ZuZu. Hendricks affirmed in various interviews that this was not “practice” for a human baby. But, if anything, it was practice for adopting another puppy — which they did. However, it was not to last. Just days after Christina Hendricks and Geoffrey Arend’s 10-year wedding anniversary in October 2019, they announced their split in a joint statement on Instagram. “Twelve years ago we fell in love and became partners. We joined our two amazing families, had countless laughs, made wonderful friends and were blessed with incredible opportunities,” the former couple began. The statement affirmed: “Today we take our next step together, but on separate paths. We will always be grateful for the love we’ve shared and will always work together to raise our two beautiful dogs. We will be taking time to rediscover ourselves in this transition and we thank you for your patience and support in giving us the space to do so.” George Bianchini and Christina Hendricks attend The Art of Elysium’s 25th Anniversary HEAVEN Gala at The Wiltern on January 06, 2024.

The two became romantically linked in the public eye in 2021, but had already begun dating in 2020. From that point, the two began appearing together in public and on social media. In March of 2023, Christina Hendricks took to Instagram to share that she and George Bianchini had proposed to each other. Both had said “yes.” Christina Hendricks attends MOCA Gala 2022 at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA on June 04, 2022.

It was a three-day weekend wedding, and the couple went overboard on floral decorations at the French Quarter landmark. After Christina Hendricks’ divorce from Geoffrey Arend, she initially had doubts about whether a future marriage could work. But she found love again with George Bianchini, her new husband.

After months of rumors, speculation, and gossip, we can now confirm that Hailey Bieber is pregnant with her first child! Hailey and husband Justin Bieber shared the news with fans via Instagram on Thursday. Both parties posted the same carousel of images and videos that showed Hailey cradling a bump and Justin snapping her photo.

(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) Hailey Bieber: Officially Pregnant! Needless to say, Justin and Hailey received a tidal wave of congratulatory comments from family, friends, and a legion of devoted fans. “I love you guys soooo much!!!” Kim Kardashian commented. i love you guys!!!! ahhhhhhhh,” Kylie Jenner echoed. Hailey Bieber attends the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures 3rd Annual Gala Presented by Rolex at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 03, 2023 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for Academy Museum of Motion Pictures ) “ahhhh here come the tears again,” wrote Kendall Jenner, who apparently received the news ahead of the general public. “We are so so excited can’t wait can’t wait what a blessing!!!!!” Kris Jenner chimed in. Yes, most of the top comments came from members of the Kardashian-Jenner clan. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) We guess that makes sense. Not only are they longtime friends of the Biebers’ but they’re on the very short list of people who have almost as many followers as Justin does. As a result, their comments tend to rack up the “likes” and shoot straight to the top of any thread. Justin and Hailey Have Been the Subjects of Constant Rumors Speculation about Hailey’s pregnancy began back in the summer of 2023, when footage circulated that seemed to confirm Hailey was expecting. “I know you’re pregnant, but …” an unidentified man said to Hailey in the clip, according to Page Six. Hailey quickly quashed those rumors, writing on Instagram, “I’m not pregnant leave me alone.” Recently, there have been rumors of trouble within Justin and Hailey’s marriage. Some outlets went so far as to report that the Biebers were fighting about when to have kids. Fans tend to be overly speculative when it comes to celebrity couples, but in Justin and Hailey’s case, it really did seem like there was cause for concern. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend the premiere of YouTube Original’s “Justin Bieber: Seasons” at the Regency Bruin Theatre on January 27, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) At one point, Hailey’s father, Stephen Baldwin, asked fans to pray for the couple. Shortly thereafter, Justin posted a selfie in which he appeared to be crying. But whether or not the rumors of marital discord were ever true, it now seems that everything has worked out for Justin and Hailey. We’d like to be the latest to offer the happy couple our sincerest congratulations!

Rodriguez/Getty Images) Hailey and Justin Are Expecting Their First Child: Here’s Everything We Know Aside from confirming that Hailey is, indeed, pregnant, the Biebers have not offered much information. We don’t know how far along Hailey is, and we don’t know if she’s expecting a boy or a girl. We’re assuming that information will be available in due time. But it’s worth noting that, in many respects, the Biebers are an intensely private couple. Justin Bieber and Hailey Bieber attend the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on April 03, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) Many fans are surprised by the news, as until recently, the Biebers were rumored to be on the verge of divorce. “Their marriage isn’t in a good place and they know it,” one insider told Life & Style. “Loved ones are telling them things will get better,” the source added, “but Hailey and Justin aren’t convinced.” Thankfully, Justin and Hailey seem to have turned things around.

Amy Winehouse’s last known photos have been making the rounds on social media this week. And some fans are not happy about it. The controversial images — which have been reposted by Instagram and X (formerly Twitter) accounts big and small — were taken during the music icon’s final performance. Amy Winehouse performs during the 46664 concert in celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life at Hyde Park on June 27, 2008 in London, England. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) Amy Winehouse’s Last Photos Reopen Old Wounds The concert took place in Belgrade, Serbia in 2011, just five days before Amy’s tragic death at the age of 27. Amy was struggling courageously against the eating disorder and substance abuse issues that would soon claim her life. Unfortunately, she felt obligated to continue with her grueling performance schedule at a time when she should have been receiving help. Amy Winehouse performs at the Glastonbury music festival, in Pilton, Somerset, in south-west England, 22 June 2007. (CARL DE SOUZA/AFP via Getty Images) Amy slurred her words and forgot the lyrics to several songs during that last concert. At one point, she reacted to jeers from the crowd by crying and hugging herself. Needless to say, the photos and footage from Amy’s final performance are heartbreaking. They’ve resurfaced due to a renewed interest in Amy’s tremendous talent and tragically short life. That interest seems to have been sparked by the upcoming biopic, Back to Black. Perhaps such a project was inevitable. But fans feel that Amy deserved a better tribute than this film, which is being derided as derivative and exploitative. Back to Black: Why Is the Amy Winehouse Biopic Receiving Such Harsh Criticism? Amy Winehouse performs onstage at Lollapalooza in Grant Park on August 5, 2007 in Chicago, Illinois. (Photo by Roger Kisby/Getty Images) The film doesn’t hit US theaters until May 17, but already critics have not been kind. Worse, at least one close associate of Amy’s has blasted the film as an inaccurate representation of her life. Her friend Tyler James stated flat out that Amy would not have appreciated the movie. Although he conceded that she would have appreciated its sympathetic portrayal of Blake Fielder-Civil to whom she was briefly married. Amy Winehouse performs during the 46664 concert in celebration of Nelson Mandela’s life at Hyde Park on June 27, 2008 in London, England. (Photo by Dan Kitwood/Getty Images) “Amy would have been pleased for Blake [because of his sympathetic portrayal], but she wouldn’t have liked the film,” James recently told The Times of London. “There is this sense of Amy being coherent even when taking drugs, but there was so much suffering.” James added that the film “avoids the uncomfortable” and “focuses way too much on Blake.” Amy Winehouse drinks a pint of lager as she watches The Libertines perform live at The Forum on August 25, 2010 in London, England.

Prince Harry has taken a very public shot at his famous father. But he’s done it in rather coy fashion. For those unaware, the Duke of Sussex returned to his native country on May 8 in order to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Prince Harry departs The Invictus Games Foundation 10th Anniversary Service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images for Invictus Games Foundation) Despite Harry having not seen his dad, a certain monarch named King Charles, in quite awhile — and despite King Charles having been diagnosed with cancer this spring — son and father did not get together during Harry’s visit. The official Royal line? Charles was simply too busy to hang out with Harry. We’re sure it had nothing at all to do with Harry having effectively resigned his post four years ago and moved to the United States with wife Meghan Markle. Or with a memoir Harry wrote in which he dragged his whole family, trashing them as racist and classist and all-around awful. See, look. Not everyone hates Prince Harry! (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images for Invictus Games Foundation) In the wake of King Charles snubbing his son, a spokesperson for Harry said the following this week: “In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the duke will meet with his father while in the UK this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme. “The duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” Sounds reasonable. Sounds amiable. But something Harry did during his stop in the United Kingdom on Wednesday made some observers think he is far from pleased about the situation. Dominic Reid OBE, CEO, Invictus Games Foundation and Prince Harry, The Duke of Sussex, Patron of the Invictus Games Foundation speak with Pikemen and Musketeers during The Invictus Games Foundation Conversation titled “Realising a Global Community” at the Honourable Artillery Company on May 7, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images for The Invictus Games Foundation) According to The Mirror Harry wore four medals on his jacket during his Invictus Games appearance: His Operational Service Medal for Afghanistan; Queen Elizabeth’s Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal; Queen Elizabeth’s Diamond Jubilee Medal; and Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Medal. However, the Duke notably did NOT wear his King’s Coronation Medal. You can scroll up and see what we mean in the first photo in this article.

(Photo by Andrew Chin/Getty Images) Interestingly enough, we’ve heard that Kate Middleton has been leaning on Prince Harry while she battles cancer. But the same does not appear to hold true for King Charles. “Harry has made things very difficult for himself by saying such cruel and hurtful things about Camilla,” an insider recently told The Daily Beast of Charles’ spouse, adding in this report: “Charles loves his sons, but he also loves his wife. ” The last few months have made it very clear how important she is; she has been the one propping up the whole edifice.” Prince Harry SNUBS King Charles on Rare Visit to London was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Fans would love to know more about Ncuti Gatwa and his relationships. In 2023, Ncuti Gatwa became the first Black actor to portray Doctor Who‘s titular lead character. The Scottish actor portrays the fifteenth incarnation of the Doctor. Following his on-screen debut, viewers have been getting to know Fifteen. But one of the the actor himself? What of Gatwa’s real-life relationships? Ncuti Gatwa attends the U.S. premiere of the new season of the Disney+ series âDoctor Whoâ at NeueHouse Hollywood on May 08, 2024. (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images) ‘Doctor Who’ introduced Ncuti Gatwa in 2023 Ncuti Gatwa is the first Black actor and the fourth Scottish actor to portray the titular Doctor in Doctor Who. The whimsical and consummately British series has spanned for many decades and enjoys a sprawling international audience. And the recasting of the Doctor is caked into the worldbuilding — as the character “regenerates” into a new appearance, often with new personal quirks, characteristics, and relationship dynamics. In 2023, the series introduced Ncuti Gatwa as the fifteenth Doctor in an extremely well-received Christmas special. That’s a British thing. Gatwa’s iteration of the Doctor begins in earnest with Season 14 on May 11, 2024. Prior to taking the Time Lord mantle for Doctor Who, Ncuti Gatwa was best known for his roles on Sex Education and for his smaller yet conspicuous role in Barbie. Born in Rwanda in 1992, Gatwa and his family moved out of the country in 1994 for obvious, horrific reasons. He grew up in Scotland beginning at the age of two. Despite appearing on television for years, much of Gatwa’s personal life has remained, well, personal. But not everything is under wraps. Ncuti Gatwa is seen backstage during the 96th Annual Academy Awards at Dolby Theatre on March 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: Al Seib/A.M.P.A.S. via Getty Images) What of Ncuti Gatwa’s relationships? According to Elle Australia, Gatwa previously dated one Jessica Hardwick. There was once a photo of the two of them on Gatwa’s Instagram profile. However, that was in 2018. The pic no longer appears on his page. Ncuti Gatwa attends the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: Aliah Anderson/Getty Images) During his time on Sex Education, Ncuti Gatwa spoke to The Guardian about his preference for keeping his personal life out of the public eye. He was, at the time, extremely new to the spotlight. “I’m still trying to get my head around it,” Gatwa explained. “There was a particularly tricky time recently when I had just lost a friend.” He recalled: “Obviously bereavement is tough but life goes on, you’re out and about in your normal day, and your brain isn’t in the best place. And people still want that selfie and they don’t know.” Ncuti Gatwa attends the ELLE Style Awards 2023 at The Old Sessions House on September 05, 2023. (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) ‘It gets tricky trying to handle your personal and your public life’ Ncuti Gatwa emphasized: “You can’t put that on them.” He then summarized: “It gets tricky trying to handle your personal and your public life.” Many longtime celebrities and even nepo babies — who grew up with fame as a family legacy — face this same struggle. There’s no one right way to balance privacy and publicity. Ncuti Gatwa arrives at the GQ Men Of The Year Awards 2023 at The Royal Opera House on November 15, 2023. (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) On Sex Education, Ncuti Gatwa portrayed Eric, who found himself in a love triangle between Adam and Rahim. Gatwa has praised how the show has Eric’s West African family as accepting and open with their son, rather than playing into racist and homophobic stereotypes. In other words, Ncuti Gatwa is much more eager to discuss the sexuality and relationships of his characters than he is to discuss his own dating life. He is, after all, an actor — not a reality TV personality. Ncuti Gatwa Relationships: Who is the ‘Doctor Who’ Star Dating? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

We’ve known for a while that Gypsy Rose Blanchard is a diehard Taylor Swift fan. But is the admiration mutual? Well, according to a new report from TMZ, Gypsy has become convinced that Taylor wrote a song specifically for her. And she might actually be onto something! Gypsy Rose Blanchard attends “An Evening with Lifetime: Conversations On Controversies” FYC event at The Grove on May 01, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) Did Taylor Swift Write ‘Fresh From the Slammer’ For Gypsy Rose Blanchard? “Fresh Out the Slammer” is a track from Taylor’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department. As the title indicates, the lyrics tell a story that Gypsy probably finds rather relatable. Of course, when Taylor sings of getting paroled, she’s likely using it as a metaphor to describe the feeling of freedom following the end of a bad relationship. Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” at State Farm Stadium on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management) The freed inmate in the song is anxious to reunite with a love interest. So we suppose it’s possible that Taylor was inspired by the relationship between Gypsy and Ryan Anderson. Of course, if that’s the case, then the song hasn’t aged well. Gypsy filed for divorce from Ryan in April, just three months after she finished serving her sentence. Gypsy Rose Blanchard speaks onstage during “An Evening with Lifetime: Conversations On Controversies” FYC event at The Grove on May 01, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) These days, Gypsy has since reunited with her ex-fiance, Ken Urker. Needless to say, the 32-year-old has a rather tumultuous love life. (We won’t even get into Gypsy’s history with the guy who murdered her mother.) So it’s possible that she relates to quite a few of Taylor’s ballads about messy breakups. Gypsy Rose Blanchard attends “The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard” Red Carpet Event on January 05, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Is Taylor Really a Gypsy Rose Fan? Gypsy has been out of prison for several months now, and Taylor has not reached out to her in any way. But Gypsy stands firm in her belief that she and Tay are members of a mutual admiration society. According to TMZ, Gypsy has told friends that she suspects Taylor hasn’t contacted her due to the optics of her situation. Taylor Swift attends the “All Too Well” New York Premiere on November 12, 2021 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) She reportedly believes that Tay is simply steering clear of controversy. After all, Gypsy is a convicted murderer, and some fans might find it strange if Taylor decided to strike up a friendship with her. So there might never be any communication between Gypsy and Taylor. And we might never know for sure if “Fresh Out the Slammer” is about Ms. Blanchard. But whatever the case, Gypsy remains the most diehard of all Swifties.

Meri Brown recently confirmed that she has launched a new business. It’s a very exciting time for the Sister Wives star on the professional side. But is it also a very exciting time for Meri Brown personally? Does she suddenly have a brand new life to look forward to… as the brand new bride of some mystery man we’re only just hearing about now?!? Meri Brown being interviewed during Sister Wives, season 18. (YOUTUBE/TLC) Astute social media users and/or those who frequently surf the Internet may have stumbled upon a number of headlines of late that scream about how Brown is married. “Meri Brown finally got married! And her husband revealed! Sister Wives Season 19,” reads one of these stories, for example. The TLC personality, of course, split from spiritual husband Kody back in January 2023 and is, indeed, single. So it’s conceivable she just walked down the aisle, we suppose. But is it accurate? Meri Brown appears to be ruminating on life in this photo from an episode of Sister Wives. (TLC) “Not only did I launch my Worthy Up biz this week, apparently I also got married! Four times! And I’m sure there’s more to come!” Meri wrote via Instagram in response to this kind of speculation. “This girl over here is BUSY!” Brown didn’t exactly deny that she’s a bride, but we’re still laughing over her use of sarcasm in this post, as she concluded as follows: Listen, don’t slow down on your life. Keep it full speed ahead. Do something every day that moves you in the direction of your dreams. We only have this one life, and it gets shorter every day. Don’t get to the end of it and wonder what could have been. Even if you want to get married four times in a week, do it! Meri did outline late last month what she’s looking for in a partner. “Prince Charming has not arrived. I’m not really looking for a prince. No, I’m looking for a king. There’s a bit of an energetic difference there. A prince is still a boy. I want a man who knows who he is,” she explained at the time to followers. “I want somebody who knows who he is and is confident in who he is.” This is a quality message to send other singles. Know who you are. Be confident. Look for a man or a woman who approaches life and himself/herself the same way. Meri Brown looks a little bit confused when asked a question here by the host of the Sister Wives reunion. (TLC) Meri told fans several weeks ago that she dated a man named Amos for a couple months, starting last October. The couple broke up in February. “Life is a series of experiences. How you handle them and what you learn from them is who you become from them,” she said, in profound fashion, after making the split public, adding back then: “It takes courage to face difficult truths, yet it’s imperative in order to remain authentic to yourself and your commitment to personal growth. “Just because I care a lot about someone, and him me, does not equate to full compatibility for a long-term relationship. “When we have different dreams and aspirations, different communication styles and values, different visions for our futures, and these things aren’t aligning, it’s then that we need to make hard decisions. “It’s a strange and sad thing to care about someone so deeply, to look beyond their past, because heaven knows we all have one, to see the kindness in their eyes and their giving heart, and still know that a life long relationship isn’t in the cards for you… “This is a time in my life to prioritize me, my well-being, and my personal evolution, and I look forward to more adventures and experiences on this journey we call life!” Meri Brown Married?

Kate Middleton has reportedly been leaning on Prince Harry for emotional support. The British royal family is in disarray. In March, Kate Middleton revealed that she has cancer. This followed months of PR blunders, a prolonged and mysterious seclusion, and of course King Charles’ already public cancer battle. This is a difficult time for the Princess of Wales. Fortunately, she’s receiving a lot of emotional support from brother-in-law Harry. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Britain’s Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, arrive to attend a service of commemoration and thanksgiving to mark Anzac Day in Westminster Abbey in London on April 25, 2019. (Photo Credit: DANIEL LEAL/AFP via Getty Images) At first, the royal firm concealed Kate Middleton’s cancer diagnosis In January, the Princess of Wales underwent a mysterious abdominal surgery. The story was that she would have to spend months healing from it before appearing in public. Obviously, this invited numerous questions. Some joked that she’d undergone a Brazilian butt lift (given the recovery time), while conspiracy theorists speculated that she was dead. There were compelling arguments that she and William were having marital problems. Wild speculation intensified after a transparently phony family photo of Kate and her children went up on (British) Mother’s Day. It was a clownish PR nightmare, and in March, it forced Kate to explain her disappearance. Taking to video, Kate Middleton announced to the world that doctors had discovered signs of cancer during her abdominal surgery. She had, during her suspicious absence, been undergoing chemotherapy treatments. While reports say that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan Markle learned of Kate’s cancer just like the rest of the world did, they expressed their sympathies. “We wish health and healing for Kate and the family,” the Sussex pair announced in a statement. “And hope they are able to do so privately and in peace.” Catherine, Princess of Wales, Prince William, Prince of Wales, Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on the long Walk at Windsor Castle arrive to view flowers and tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth on September 10, 2022. (Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Kate Middleton is leaning on Prince Harry, a report dishes According to a report by Life & Style, Kate Middleton has called Prince Harry to talk during this difficult time. “Everyone assumes Kate doesn’t like Harry, but they have a special bond that not many people really understand,” an inside source pointed out. “She and Harry were extremely close at one time,” the insider added.

(Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) “She’s confided in him during some of her darkest moments,” the source then said of Kate Middleton’s bond with brother-in-law Prince Harry. “And now” the insider explained, “that includes her cancer battle.” The source then characterized their recent conversations: “Kate’s leaned on Harry for support.” Prince William, the Duke of Cornwall during a visit to Fistral Beach on May 9, 2024. (Photo Credit: Toby Melville – WPA Pool/Getty Images) This emotional rapport has caught Prince William off guard “He was surprised and concerned” by Kate reaching out to Harry, the inside source said of William. He’s still bitter about Prince Harry’s bestselling memoir, Spare. Because Harry shared his experiences, the insider said that William “continues to have trust issues with Harry.” However, the source added that William “won’t interfere” with his wife reaching out to his brother. “While Kate loves William and she does confide in her husband, it’s easier to talk about certain things with Harry,” the insider explained. The source then characterized: “He’s always been a good listener.” That makes sense. Plus, Prince Harry has obviously never cheated on Kate. Sometimes, your brother-in-law is just easier to talk to than your husband is, because there’s less baggage.

She’s back! Five years after getting fired from the show that made her famous, Jenelle Evans is returning to the Teen Mom franchise. According to a new report from Page Six, Jenelle will be appearing in the upcoming second season of Teen Mom: The Next Chapter. That surprising development comes on the heels of news that Jenelle has separated from husband David Eason.

(Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images for Indonesian Diversity) Those two facts might not be unrelated, as David played in important role in Jenelle’s firing back in 2019. Jenelle Evans Returns to Teen Mom: Everything We Know Despite rumors to the contrary, Jenelle will not be returning to Next Chapter on a full-time basis. Jenelle Evans attends OK! Magazine’s So Sexy NYC Event at HAUS Nightclub on May 13, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Robin Marchant/Getty Images) Instead, she’ll make a “special appearance” on the show, where she’ll provide an update on her tumultuous life. Reports of her return began swirling last week, when Jenelle was spotted in the presence of former castmate Briana Dejesus. In addition to Bri, Jenelle will join Leah Messer, Catelynn Lowell, Jade Cline, Cheyenne Floyd, Ashley Jones, Maci Bookout, and Amber Portwood, who are all returning to the series. Jenelle Evans is seen at GBK’s New York Fashion Week Style Lounge 2015 – Day 2 on September 15, 2015 in New York City.

She’ll be participating in her first season of Next Chapter when the show returns on May 30. Why Was Jenelle Evans Fired By MTV? Jenelle was fired from MTV after David shot and killed the family dog in front of her horrified children. David Eason and Jenelle Evans attend the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards at The Forum on August 27, 2017 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) The incident led to a CPS investigation that resulted in Evans temporarily losing custody of her children. At the time, Jenelle defended David’s actions and assisted in a cover-up, essentially leaving MTV with little choice but to cut ties. Now, five years of missed income later, it seems that Evans and the network have finally set aside their differences. Jenelle Evans is seen on the set of “Candace” on May 24, 2021 in Nashville, Tennessee. The show will air on Tuesday, May 25, 2021. (Photo by Jason Davis/Getty Images) Jenelle’s split from David was likely the main catalyst for this change. Evans announced her separation from David back in March. “Can I get some appreciation? I filed for separation,” she wrote on Instagram. Jenelle and David have separated many times in the past, but if the two-way allegations of abuse and infidelity are any indication, this time, the marriage is over for good. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

When it comes to Nicola Coughlan and weight loss (or gain), she’d rather people mind their business. From Derry Girls to Barbie, Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan is an absolute success. Unfortunately, way too many people on social media seem to focus upon her body shape instead of her actual accomplishments. It’s weird and overwhelming. And Nicola would love for it to stop — for her, and for countless other women. Nicola Coughlan attends the “Bridgerton” Season 3 launch on the grounds of Milton Park Country House on April 21, 2024. (Photo Credit: James Gourley/Getty Images for Netflix) Nicola Coughlan has focused her activism upon body liberation During an April interview with The Irish Times, Nicola Coughlan was happy to discuss society’s constant, toxic policing of women’s bodies. People have been commenting on the shape of her body for years. Sometimes, the comments are ostensibly positive. But en masse, it becomes overwhelming. She has asked people before to keep these opinions to themselves. Nicola Coughlan attends the screening of “Big Mood” at Charlotte Street Hotel on March 13, 2024. (Photo Credit: Joe Maher/Getty Images) In 2018, Nicola Coughlan expressed her dismay when the British Theatre Guide‘s critic (a man) commented on her weight in a review. In response, she received an apology. But when asked whether things have improved in the several years since then, Nicola replied with a very honest and blunt “No.” She explained: “People love to undermine women and their hard work.” Truth! Nicola Coughlan attends the ERDEM show during London Fashion Week February 2024 at The British Museum on February 17, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jeff Spicer/Getty Images) If you ask Nicola Coughlan, society’s twisted fixation with weight and body size has not changed “So I don’t think anything has improved unfortunately,” Nicola reasoned. “But,” she added, “the only thing I can try and do is just go out there and do the best I can do with every job I’m given.” Nicola then continued: “And to hopefully get as many different roles as I can.” Nicola Coughlan attends the world premiere of “Renegade Nell” at Everyman Borough Yards on March 26, 2024. (Photo Credit: Joe Maher/Getty Images) “All I care about is the work,” Nicola then affirmed. “Bodies change,” she pointed out. It can be easy for an actor’s professional brand to become tied to their body shape, but that can be an industry hazard. Some actors work themselves into lifelong health problems trying to remain extremely muscular, or profoundly slender. Or they yo-yo between extremes during (and between) projects. That exacts a terrible toll upon the body and mind. Nicola Coughlan attends the “Big Mood” New York Premiere at The Whitby Hotel on April 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dominik Bindl/Getty Images) Remember, Nicola Coughlan is an actor “If I lose weight or gain weight or I do anything it’s no one’s business,” she correctly affirmed. “All I care about is doing good acting,” Nicola emphasized. “And,” she concluded, “being judged on that.” Nicola Coughlan’s Weight Loss Journey: All I Care About Is Acting! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Andy Cohen has a lot to say about some ugly allegations. The executive producer of all of Bravo’s Real Housewives franchises, Cohen has been at the center of a number of recent controversies. In February, for example, Brandi Glanville Brandi Glanville sent a letter to NBCUniversal, Shed Media and Shed’s parent company Warner Bros. Discovery… accusing Cohen of sexual harassment. Andy Cohen attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Aliah Anderson/Getty Images) The document alleged that an “inebriated” Cohen sent Glanville a video message stating of “his intention to sleep with another Bravo star that night while thinking of her and invited her to watch via Facetime.” Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter for a new feature, Cohen said he couldn’t go into detail regarding some of the claims that have been made public — for legal reasons. But Leah McSweeney had sued Cohen and Bravo. She has said that executives plied her with alcohol and forced her to drink, despite her struggles with substance abuse. Andy Cohen speaks on stage during iHeartRadio z100’s Jingle Ball 2023 Presented By Capital One at Madison Square Garden on December 8, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “What I’ll say about the alcohol is that we have so many sober people and people who have gotten sober on the show, like Countess Luann [de Lesseps],” Cohen said in this article. “We have people who’ve never had a drink during the entire run of the show. Jill Zarin. Kandi Burris. Heather Dubrow will just have an occasional glass of champagne. So sure, there are people who drink. “There are many people who never drink. We don’t force anyone to do anything. But no one is secretly hiding liquor bottles on set. That’s ridiculous. We’ve been very supportive of people’s sobriety.” As you can see here, Cohen remained very defiant throughout this interview. Andy Cohen attends the New York City Ballet 2023 Fall Fashion Gala at David H. Koch Theater, Lincoln Center on October 5, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images) Cohen previously apologized to Glanville, but also said the video she referenced was “clearly” meant to be a joke, meant to be “in jest.” The talk show host emphasized to The Hollywood Reporter that he has “no regrets about” how he has handled everything across the Real Housewives programs, stating how “proud” he is of the relationships he has fostered along the way. “I’m super proud of what we’ve built and of everybody who’s been a part of it. I think most people involved with these shows have been very grateful for the platform, but there will always be a few with complaints,” Cohen said. “Obviously, it’s no fun to be a target. So, yes, it’s hurtful. But I have no regrets about the way I’ve handled anything. I think everything that happens in your life informs the next thing that happens in your life. That’s the way I look at all this. “I know what the truth is and I know how I’ve conducted myself, and I walk tall every day on that.” Andy Cohen attends Bravo’s “The Real Housewives Of New York City” Season 14 Premiere at The Rainbow Room on July 12, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) Finally, Cohen explained how the Real Housewives started way back in 2009… and a lot has changed since then. “Producing a show about politically incorrect women in 2024 is different than producing a show about politically incorrect women in 2009,” Cohen told this publication. “Sensitivities have changed over the years. Social media has a huge impact. There’s not a lot of room for nuance these days. “We are living in an outrage culture now, and everyone has had to adapt to that.” Andy Cohen Breaks Silence on Real Housewives Accusations: “I Have No Regrets” was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Travis Kelce is headed to the small screen. And not just as part of his professional football duties. The future Hall of Famer just snagged his very first actual acting gig, signing on for a role in Ryan Murphy‘s high-profile new FX horror series, Grotesquerie. Murphy has been known to give entertainers legitimate parts in his shows in the past, having done so with Lady Gaga and Kim Kardashian for his American Horror Story franchise. Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs stands for the national anthem prior to Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images) Very few details regarding Kelce’s role have been made available to the public; we don’t even know what this program will be about. But we do know the three-time Super Bowl champion has been cast opposite Niecy Nash-Betts, Courtney B. Vance and Lesley Manville in the upcoming series, which has just started production. Those are some big-time names in Hollywood! Well done, Travis! Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs reacts in the fourth quarter against the San Francisco 49ers during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty Images) Kelce has made no secret that he wishes to break further into the entertainment industry. He hosted Saturday Night Live this spring and anchors a number of commercials. Kelce previously was at the center of the reality show Catching Kelce, which ran for one season in 2016, and he recently signed on as host of Amazon’s Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity? game show. A handful of Swift supporters have been afraid for awhile that Travis is only dating Taylor to increase his visibility and to market himself as a legitimate A-List celebrity. Others, meanwhile, are afraid Kelce drinks too much.

Fallon / AFP) (Photo by PATRICK T. FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) Following Deadline breaking this story, Kelce posted a video from the set of this upcoming drama. “Guys, guess who I am working with on Grotesquerie,” Nash-Betts says to the camera before Kelce joins her and says, and says: “Coming into a new territory. With Niecy!” (Instagram) So there you have it, folks. In case you needed further confirmation. Grotesquerie, which Murphy is producting with frequent collaborators Jon Robin Baitz and Joe Baken, released an all-text teaser in February. It included audio of Nash-Betts character, in which she says: “I don’t know when it started, I can’t put my finger on it, but it’s different now. There’s been a shift, like something’s opening up in the world — a kind of hole that descends into a nothingness.” Travis Kelce Lands Very First Acting Gig!

Doctors found some sort of tumor or tumor-like growth during a Kris Jenner body scan. Normally, when Kris Jenner “alarms” fans, it’s by sporting a surprising look in a selfie. This is very different. The Kardashians dropped their Season 5 trailer. And while Kris isn’t the only one with a medical scare, her tumor revelation has fans on the edges of their seats. Is the famous momager okay? In the trailer for Season 5 of The Kardashians, the titular stars pose together as a family. (Image Credit: Hulu) ‘The Kardashians’ is back for Season 5 Ahead of the May 23 premiere of The Kardashians Season 5, Kim Kardashian took to Twitter to share the trailer — which you can see below. At the start, the trailer for the Hulu series begins as so many of them do. We see the glamorous lives of the Kardashian-Jenner clan as they do fashion week and ponder what “success” truly means. Hulu released the Season 5 trailer for The Kardashians. There are plenty of the usual “filler” topics for The Kardashians. Kendall Jenner briefly discusses her anxiety while then clarifying that she swears that she talks about other things in real life and is actually a lot of fun. (We do believe her; reality TV never shows the whole of a person, and anxious people can be a blast) However, it’s not all banter about Khloe’s sex life. Even with all of their money, this family has real problems. On the Season 5 trailer for The Kardashians, Kourtney Kardashian details the drastic steps required during her high-risk pregnancy. (Image Credit: Hulu) Kourtney Kardashian had a high-risk pregnancy On Wednesday, November 1, Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker welcomed their first child together, Rocky Thirteen Barker. However, when the family filmed Season 5, Kourtney was still experiencing a high-risk pregnancy. As fans are well-aware, Kourtney spent time hospitalized during this time. The Season 5 trailer makes it clear that the season will include these tense family moments, as Kourt underwent fetal surgery. Season 5’s trailer for The Kardashians shows Kris Jenner and others emphasizing that her eldest daughter’s health is a priority. (Image Credit: Hulu) During the trailer, we see that Kris Jenner emphasized that her eldest daughter’s health is the priority. Kourtney has been weird about her family and about reality TV. In some ways, this has increased since she began her relationship with Travis. That doesn’t mean that her whole family doesn’t care about her health. But unfortunately, she’s not the only one having a scary time during Season 5. The Kardashians’ Season 5 trailer revealed Kris Jenner receiving alarming medical news. (Image Credit: Hulu) Kris Jenner has a ‘tumor’ The Season 5 trailer for The Kardashians showed Kris appearing at a medical office and then speaking to her family to share some difficult, scary news. “I had my scan,” she tells them during the trailer. Kris announces: “They found a cyst and like a little tumor.” A tearful Kris Jenner breaks some difficult news to her family during the Season 5 trailer for The Kardashians. (Image Credit: Hulu) It is unclear what the nature of the scan was, and technically not all tumors are cancerous. However, it doesn’t sound like Kris is talking about a skin tag, here. This could be very serious. The promotional pose for The Kardashians Season 5 during the trailer for that season. (Image Credit: Hulu) Does Kris Jenner have cancer? Our gut says that Kris (and the trailer) would lead with the C-word news rather than discussing a cyst and what sounds like a tumor or a tumor-like growth. If that were the news. We honestly won’t know until Season 5 airs. Which, as we noted, is very soon — the premiere is May 23. As always, we hope that Kris Jenner is healthy and well. Given that Kris’ medical news likely came in 2023, we hope that this is “old news” and fully resolved.
