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. (Photo by John Parra/Getty Images for GBK Productions) Teen Mom alum Mackenzie McKee has also rejoined the franchise. 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.

Go ahead and take a minute, readers. We understand you may need to read the headline above a few times in order to make sense of it. And even then, you may still be stuck. You may still be sitting there wide-eyed, wondering… wait, WTF is going on here?!? Khloé Kardashian attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) In the summer of 2023, Khloe welcomed her second child into the world, doing so via surrogacy after she had some complications while pregnant with daughter True. The little boy’s name is Tatum and he’s very cute and his dad is professional basketball player/serial cheater Tristan Thompson. Khloe explained in the past that she wanted to use Thompson’s sperm for this process so that her kids could share the same biological father. Following along so far? Okay, good… Khloe Kardashian attends Abyss By Abby – Arabian Nights Collection Launch Party at Casita Hollywood on January 21, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for Abyss By Abby) Appearing on the She MD podcast this week, Kardashian told the hosts that she questioned her son’s paternity at one point. “My son looks just like my brother, and my brother’s one of my favorite people,” the reality star explained, elaborating as follows: “My son is a year and a half, and he’s sarcastic, and my dad had a really dry, silly, crazy sense of humor. There’s glimmers of my dad in Tatum. I’m like, this is so freaking weird.” Yes, Khloe therefore wondered whether there had been a mix-up… and whether Rob Kardashian was actually her son’s dad. “Because he was an IVF baby, or a surrogate baby, I was like, “Rob, have you ever donated sperm somewhere?” I made Tristan do three DNA tests for Tatum. He was so offended,” Khloe went on. “In this family, that would not surprise me, but that would be so disgusting.” Elsewhere in this same chat, the Kardashians cast member admitted — as she has done in the past — that she struggled to bond with Tatum at first due to the drama going on in her private life. After it came to light that Tristan had secretly fathered another son shortly into their surrogacy journey. He also cheated on Khloe, of course, when she was in final trimester of pregnancy.

((Photo by Sean M. Haffey/Getty Images) “The whole surrogacy pregnancy, I was really detached. I couldn’t really face it – I very much think I was in denial that this was happening,” Khloe confessed on the podcast. In the end, thankfully, everything has worked out exceptionally well. “[He] is an incredible father. He did make mistakes, but he’s the nicest guy. And we get along so well now,” she even says now of Thompson. “I’ve seen some other fathers that are not great fathers. I’m very grateful that I have one that wants to be in their lives, that’s active every single day even though he doesn’t live here full time.” Khloe Kardashian Once Thought Her Brother Was the Father of Her Son was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Will Vanderpump Rules Season 12 ever actually happen? Or has Bravo already decided to pull the plug on the controversial reality show, and execs are just holding off on making the announcement? As you may recall, Vanderpump was reportedly on the chopping block following the show’s tenth season. Tom and Raquel’s romance has come to an end, but the fallout will likely remain with them for the rest of their lives! (Bravo) The situation changed rapidly, however, due to Tom Sandoval’s affair with Raquel Leviss. Suddenly, VPR was the most buzzed-about show on TV. And there were hopes that the ratings bump would lead to a lasting resurgence. That didn’t happen, however. And even diehard fans seem to agree that Vanderpump Season 11 was severely lacking. Ariana speaks her mind in a trailer for Vanderpump Rules Season 10. (Bravo) Has ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Been Canceled Ahead of Season 12? As we previously reported, Vanderpump Rules will not be filming this summer. The news shocked fans, as every previous season began production in May and wrapped up in August. Bravo claims, however, that this is merely a delay and not a sign that the show is coming to an end. Tom Sandoval attends the grand opening of The House of Barrie at House of Barrie on October 04, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for House of Barrie) The Vanderpump Rules Season 11 finale that aired on Tuesday night sparked further rumors that the series had been canceled. The episode ended with a retrospective montage and lots of teary-eyed cast reminiscences about the early days. We even heard a producer declare, “That’s the end,” in the episode’s final moments. In other words, it was a season finale that felt a lot like a series finale.

(Photo by Greg Doherty/Getty Images for DIRECTV) What’s Next For ‘Vanderpump Rules’? But a Bravo source assures Entertainment Tonight that the show will go on. However, it might look a little different going forward. In fact, it’s possible that some of the show’s original cast members will join spinoff series The Valley, and VPR will be recast with a bunch of newcomers. “There’s always a possibility of a cast shakeup, or having the legacy cast members move to The Valley, but no decisions have been made yet,” says the insider. That may explain why last night’s episode felt so much like the end of an era. Ariana Madix attends the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and broadcast on June 5, 2022. (Photo by Emma McIntyre/Getty Images for MTV) According to TMZ, the cast was told production was being delayed in order “let their lives breathe a bit in the wake of Scandoval.” In other news, so that they could involve themselves in some new drama and stop continually rehashing Sandoval’s affair. Now, however, it sounds like execs are plotting their next move. And they’re figuring out how to put this cast to profitable use. Whatever the case, it seems certain that Vanderpump Rules Season 12 will look very different from the one the preceded it. ‘Vanderpump Rules’ Season 12 Is Actually Happening (Just Not For a Long Time) was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Prince Harry isn’t in a rush to write a tell-all book sequel. But eventually, the money could become too good to pass up. In 2020, Prince Harry stepped away from the duties that were his curse from birth. He did this in order to protect his new, young family. Since then, he has lived an enviable life in America with his wife and children. He also published a bestselling memoir, Spare. After the roaring success of that memoir and the recent messy drama from his relatives, publishers would love a follow-up book.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images for The Invictus Games Foundation) Is a sequel to Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ memoir in the works? Prince Harry released Spare on January 10, 2023. The memoir was a massive success, selling 3.2 million copies and raking in a whopping $27 million. There was more than just Harry’s name behind the book’s success. It offered unparalleled access to the often bitter reality of growing up in the British royal family. And the memoir chronicled Harry’s long journey to breaking free. Now, a new report alleges that publishers are offering Prince Harry “big bucks” to pen a Spare sequel. Allegedly, there is immensely pressure for Harry to “top the tome by pulling back palace curtains even further.” Notably, Prince Harry’s own spokesperson has affirmed that the Duke of Sussex has “no plans to write another memoir” in the near future.

(Photo Credit: Andrew Chin/Getty Images) A ‘Spare’ sequel could make even more than the first one This report comes by way of an inside source speaking to the National Enquirer, who noted the potential sales of a follow-up memoir. “Harry’s unparallelled success as an author has put pressure on him to delve deeper into the intricate web of family dynamics,” the insider described. “At the moment, he might be saying he doesn’t want to do it,” the source acknowledged. “But millions often change folks’ minds.” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, appears at the Sport Gives Back Awards 2024 via a pre-recorded video at Cadogan Hall on February 28, 2024. (Photo Credit: Handout/Sport Gives Back Awards via Getty Images) That said, given how things are going for the royal family at the moment, Prince Harry might choose to wait — and to carefully word his writing. After all, King Charles is facing a serious cancer battle. And though the royal firm at first attempted to keep it secret, Kate Middleton also has cancer. Even the harshest critics of the royal family will mince words when it comes to someone undergoing cancer treatments. Though, to be blunt, neither Charles or Kate seem to be the primary antagonists of Prince Harry’s royal experiences.

(Photo Credit: Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Project Healthy Minds) Despite everything, Prince Harry loves his family Though Prince Harry and William continue to feud, Harry has made multiple trips to the UK to see his father, King Charles. Especially in light of his cancer diagnosis. Even when he cannot see his father — who has a very busy schedule — Harry has affirmed his love and support for him in various interviews. Harry has every right to share his story with the world. However, if he wants to hold off upon saying more while some of his closest family are undergoing cancer treatments, that is very reasonable.

Tori Spelling almost forgot her wedding anniversary. It speaks to her post-marriage state of mind. In June of 2023, Tori Spelling had her final marital fight with Dean McDermott. And then it was over. Tori and Dean married in 2006. On May 7, 2006, specifically. Yes, that means that she survived her first wedding anniversary following the end of her long-troubled marriage. Tori Spelling attends the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre on April 01, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Tuesday, May 7, would have been Tori and Dean’s 18th wedding anniversary Tori Spelling spoke on Monday’s episode of her misSPELLING podcast about how she had forgotten about the now-painful calendar date “until, no joke, two days ago.” “It’s May, you guys. It’s a huge month for me,” Tori noted to her lsiteners. In addition to the May 7 anniversary date, Tori also noted her May 16 birthday, not to mention Mother’s Day (May 12 this year — don’t forget it if you have a living mother in good standing!).

(Photo Credit: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) “I would always be like, ‘Hey, buddy. Sorry, you’re screwed. You got three Tori days to deal with, essentially, in May,'” Tori recalled during the podcast. That’s when it clicked that Tori doesn’t really need to keep the anniversary date in mind anymore. Because she and Dean are no longer married. “I hadn’t thought about that. May 7 is just gonna be another day from now on,” Tori remarked during her podcast. Tori Spelling attends KIIS FM’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2023 Presented by Capital One at The Kia Forum on December 01, 2023. (Photo Credit: Monica Schipper/Getty Images) “That kind of hit me,” Tori confessed. “I was like, ‘Wow, yeah, wow.'” “I mean, obviously, I filed for divorce,” she acknowledged. In fact, Tori’s divorce filing ended up with Dean feeling blindsided. “We’re getting a divorce,” Tori affirmed. “But I hadn’t thought about that.” Stella McDermott, Tori Spelling, Liam McDermott, Dean McDermott, and guests attend the 2023 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One at The Kia Forum on January 14, 2023. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “I’m conveniently blocking it out, because it hurts,” Tori went on to remark. Clearly, there’s still a lot of emotional pain that she’s processing. “At the end of the day, he and I and our kids, we’re a family unit,” Tori noted. “He’s their father, whether we’re married on not.” An increasingly emotional Tori added: “Oh my god, you guys, every week it is not going to be about me, like, ‘Oh I’m Tori, I’m alone and single!’ Or it can be, I mean, I don’t know.” Tori Spelling attends the premiere of Freeform’s “Cruel Summer” Season 2 at Grace E. Simons Lodge on May 31, 2023. (Photo Credit: David Livingston/Getty Images) “Oh my god, I’m tearing up, I do have feelings, look at that. She exists!” Tori then joked. Speaking of jokes, she also joked about the idea of making a necklace for Dean. A necklace out of fake teeth, “five of them for the five beautiful kids we made.” (It’s for the best that anniversary gifts end after a divorce) You know, some jokes are best made with close friends or not at all. Some jokes are definitely best made far from any microphone. At least Tori reassured Lily Calo, Dean’s girlfriend, that she was joking.

The past is about to come back to haunt Nick Carter. The alleged past, we should probably emphasize. Back in 2017, as you may recall, singer Melissa Schuman accused the Backstreet Boys member of drugging her and of assaulting her when she was a teenager in 2003. Nick Carter of the Backstreet Boys performs onstage at iHeartRadio Y100âs Jingle Ball 2022 Presented by Capital One on December 18, 2022 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Jason Koerner/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) In February 2018, the Santa Monica Police Department confirmed that it had opened an investigation into Carter after Schuman came forward with these allegations. “I’m finally doing what I thought I could no longer do. Im filing a police report,” the former member of the pop group Dream said at the time, adding the hashtag #MeToo and crediting the Rape Abuse Incest National Network for “empowering me to take this step.” Responded Carter back then: “I am shocked and saddened by Ms. Schuman’s accusations. “Melissa never expressed to me while we were together or at any time since that anything we did was not consensual. We went on to record a song and perform together, and I was always respectful and supportive of Melissa both personally and professionally. “This is the first that I am hearing about these accusations, nearly two decades later. It is contrary to my nature and everything I hold dear to intentionally cause someone discomfort or harm.” Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys attends the iHeartRadio Z100âs Jingle Ball 2022 Presented by Capital One at Madison Square Garden on December 9, 2022 in New York, New York.

No charges were ever filed against Nick Carter. Now, however, Carter and his late brother Aaron will be the subject of a documentary on Investigation Discovery. It will also be streamed on Max and it will be titled “Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter;” it is set to air on Monday, May 27, and Tuesday, May 28, at 9/8c.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) The special will include interviews with Schuman, Ashley Repp and Ruth, all of whom have alleged sexual assault by Nick Carter. Also interviewed will be an unnamed “member of the Carter family,” as well as friends including Nick Carter’s ex-girlfriend Kaya Jones and Aaron Carter’s former fiancé Melanie Martin. The series is expected to investigate these accusations of sexual assault against Nick Carter by numerous women… and will also dive into younger brother Aaron Carter’s struggles with mental health and substance abuse — leading to his death in 2022. “My heart has been broken today,” said Nick Carter at the time. “Even though my brother and I have had a complicated relationship, my love for him has never ever faded. “I have always held onto the hope, that he would somehow, someday want to walk a healthy path and eventually find the help that he so desperately needed.” Nick Carter Sexual Assault Allegation to Be Subject of New Docuseries was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Ian Gelder, one the most well known Lannisters on Game of Thrones has died and his cause of death is just heartbreaking. Ian was best known for his role as Kevan Lannister on the hit HBO show. He’s been out of the spotlight since then. His husband, fellow actor Ben Daniels, explained why when he announced his spouse’s death. ‘GOT’ star Ian Gelder attends The Olivier Awards 2022 with MasterCard at the Royal Albert Hall on April 10, 2022 in London, England. (Photo by Jeff Spicer/Getty Images for SOLT) Ian Gelder’s Cause of Death: Why The ‘Game Of Thrones’ Star Died At 74 Ben, Ian Gelder’s husband for many years, shared the heartbreaking news on Instagram on May 8 that his spouse had passed. He revealed that Ian was battling bile duct cancer since December, and that he finally lost his battle. “It is with huge huge sadness and a heavy heart broken into a million pieces that I’m leaving this post to announce the passing of my darling husband and life partner Ian Gelder,” Ben wrote in his post. They pair met on the set of the British play “Entertaining Mr. Sloane” and have been together since 1993. Ben revealed he stopped working when his husband got sick, but confessed he didn’t expect Ian to die “so fast” from the “dreadful illness.” “He was my absolute rock and we’d been partners for more than 30 years,” Ben wrote. “If we weren’t together we spoke to each other everyday. He was the kindest, most generous spirited and loving human being.” “I honestly don’t know what I’ll do without him by my side,” Ben added about his late partner. “He was remarkable and will be so missed.” Ian Gelder on ‘Game Of Thrones’ Ian played Kevan Lannister, the younger brother of Lord Tywin Lannister, for six seasons on Game of Thrones. As one of his brother’s most loyal and trusted officers in the Lannister armies, after Tyrion killed Tywin, Kevan became an adversary of Cersei. As she made her play for power, he opposed her at every turn. When Cersei was arrested by the Faith Militant, Kevan returns to King’s Landing and is appointed Hand of the King by Grand Maester Pycelle. However, he meets his end by Cersie’s hand, killed in the destruction of the Great Sept of Baelor.

We know that Travis Kelce likes to party, but is he always drunk? On the latest episode of her “Whine Down” podcast, actress Jana Kramer suggested that Travis might have a drinking problem. In fact, she said that he seems to be hammered pretty much around the clock. Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs looks on prior to the game New York Jets at MetLife Stadium on October 01, 2023 in East Rutherford, New Jersey. (Photo by Dustin Satloff/Getty Images) Jana Kramer Claims Travis Kelce Is ‘Always Drunk’ “To me, he’s always drunk. Every time I’ve ever seen a video, he’s just always drunk,” said Jana, according to Page Six. She went on to allege that Taylor is drinking more than ever these days because of her relationship with Travis. “I see her drinking more now. Like, the company you keep,” said Jana. Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs celebrates with Taylor Swift after a 17-10 victory against the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game at M&T Bank Stadium on January 28, 2024 in Baltimore, Maryland. (Photo by Patrick Smith/Getty Images) Jana also explained that she was not a fan of Kelce’s “aggression.” She said that she initially thought that Taylor and Travis were the “cutest” couple, but now feels that the Chiefs tight end “remind[s her] of an ex.” Jana didn’t name names, but it’s worth noting that she was married to Mike Caussin of the Washington Redskins from 2015 to 2021. Jana Kramer attends the Z100’s iHeartRadio Jingle Ball 2022 Press Room at Madison Square Garden on December 09, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Co-host Josie Van Dyke shouted Caussin’s name before quipping, “I know exactly who you’re talking about.” Jana Doubles Down From there, Kramer leveled more criticism at the world’s most obsessed-over celebrity couple. She said that she “fell asleep” listening to Taylor’s Tortured Poets Department album. Then she alleged that Kelce us “corny” and “cheesy” for “loving the attention” that comes with dating Swift.

(Photo by Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) “I’ve just kind of heard things that I don’t love,” she concluded. “But again, I just want everyone to be happy is what I’ll default to.” Obviously, Jana is just speculating about the boozy turmoil that she thinks might exist within Travis and Taylor’s relationship. Travis Kelce talks to the media during a Kansas City press conference at DFB Campus on November 03, 2023 in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. (Photo by Alex Grimm/Getty Images) It’s true that Travis and Taylor have been spotted drinking together on several occasions. But they’re a relatively new couple, and they’re both very busy people. And it seems that they just enjoy having fun when the opportunity presents itself. Taylor has been much more low-key in some of her previous relationships. But she and Travis have been pretty liberal with the PDAs ever since word of their romance went public. They’ll always have to deal with shade from the haters who think they’re mismatched. But hopefully, Taylor is teaching Travis how to shake it off. Travis Kelce Is ‘Always Drunk’ and Taylor Swift Better Beware?! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

So… THAT happened on Tuesday night. Amid concern that Vanderpump Rules will be canceled because the beloved series is not scheduled to film at all this summer, Bravo aired a Season 11 episode titled “Plot Twist.” Toward the end of the installment, a producer stated “that’s the end,” causing many to stop, ask and wonder: Wait, was is the end end?!? Was it the series finale?!? The cast of Vanderpump Rules season 11 poses here. (Bravo) On the episode itself, Tom Sandoval was irate because Ariana Madix claimed his apologies — for having cheated on her with Rachel Leviss — were merely “performative.” “This is f–king bullst,” Sandoval fumed on air. “Ariana’s just going around saying I’m not being honest, that I’m performative. Do you know what it is? Ariana is f–king performative. She doesn’t like any of these motherf–kers. So she can f–k off saying I’m performative.” Ariana, meanwhile, told viewers: “He’s never tried to talk to me off camera. He could’ve written something in a f–king letter and left it on my kitchen counter and I could’ve read it at my leisure. But if you would only do it on camera, to me you just showed your true colors.” These Vanderpump Rules cast members will always have a place in our heart. (Bravo) For her part, Lala Kent grew sick of Madix bringing up this topic so often… even though the affair with Leviss was exposed just three months before Season 11 started shooting. “I get it! He f–king cheated! You did a really f–king stty thing! It was weird how you looked us all in the eye and said a lot of sh-t,” Lala said. “But he did not kill somebody! She moved on eight days later! Eight days! I’ve never in my life experienced someone who gets cheated on and suddenly she becomes God. Okay.” Kent even blasted Madix for not showing her “low lows” to the rest of the cast, sounding bitter that Ariana was never “honest” with her feeling in her view.

(Photo by Gonzalo Marroquin/Getty Images for CELSIUS) In the wake of the drama, Vanderpump Rules is taking a production pause ahead of season 12, but it does sound as if there will be a Season 12. Probably. “There’s always a possibility of a cast shakeup, or having the legacy cast members move to The Valley, but no decisions have been made yet,” a source has told Entertainment Tonight. Looking ahead, Madix will be hosting Love Island and, in August, will make her return to Broadway… while Lisa Vanderpump likely will be filming a second season of Hulu’s Vanderpump Villa. Will they even want to continue with Vanderpump Rules?!? Tom Sandoval attends the premiere party for Season 11 of Bravo’s “Vanderpump Rules” at the Hollywood Palladium on January 17, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Amanda Edwards/Getty Images) Also looking ahead, Vanderpump Rules will kick off its three-part reunion on May 14, with subsequent episodes airing May 21 and May 28. The official synopsis for the final part reads as follows: The reunion comes to a stunning close when, for the first time, the cast watches the last minutes of the finale live on stage. Ariana breaks her no contact rule with Sandoval, leaving both in tears. Scheana defends her actions and suggests her rift with Ariana started well before this summer. Katie blames Sandoval for the downfall of her relationship with Schwartz. Lala doubles down on the comments she made during the season, leaving her friendships on life support.

Are Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny back together? As of late 2023, Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny were over. After all, they’re both hot professionals with busy schedules. However, both attended the Met Gala. Kendall looked stylish and hot, and Bad Bunny’s fashion choices showed that he clearly understood the assignment. The two looked so cozy together that fans think that they’re either back together, or the coziest exes ever.

(Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) Both Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny were at the Met Gala AND the same afterparty On Monday, May 6, the Met Gala was once again the “Oscars of fashion.” The annual charity event featured the prompt: “The Garden of Time,” which took inspiration from J.G. Ballard’s 1962 short story of the same name. After the fact, numerous famous faces attended the Après Met 2 Met Gala Afterparty at WSA in New York City. Two of the attendees were Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny. And they weren’t simply attending the afterparty together. They mingled.

Raule/Getty Images for Gucci) According to Page Six, multiple sources spotted Kendall Jenner and Bad Bunny staying close to each other during the Met Gala afterparty. “They were at the same table, laughing and flirting,” one insider reported. That same source detailed: “She was rubbing his head.” Bad Bunny attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Kendall and Bad Bunny’s alleged PDA was reportedly pretty chaste A second inside source clarified that, to the best of anyone’s knowledge, Kendall and Bad Bunny did not kiss during the event. However, the insider did describe the two as cuddling on couches at the party during the night. This source even specified that they were drinking Clase Azul cocktails during their cuddle time.

(Photo Credit: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images) The report also specifies that Kendall and Bad Bunny both changed out of their extremely stylish Met Gala looks for the party. Most attendees at the Met Gala wear expensive designer clothes, often in unique looks specifically to fit the year’s prompt. While Kendall seemingly prioritized style and beauty over artistic risk-taking, Bad Bunny balanced the prompt with looks to delivery a stunning matador-inspired look. Which, for the record, is well in keeping with thematic elements of the The Garden of Time short story — which is about nobility and the inevitability of death. As we previously reported, Kendall and Bad Bunny seemingly ended things in December of 2023. At that point, they had been dating for less than one year. Though neither addressed the breakup directly with the public, reports described the breakup as amicable. The blame did not go to the supermodel or to the singer, but to their busy schedules. There have been whispers of reconnections early this year. And, of course, competing rumors about Kendall and another ex, Devin Booker. Whatever the truth behind these claims, clearly Kendall and Bad Bunny are on pretty good terms.

Tom Cruise and his kids appear together in a rare photo that fans are eating up. Even though Suri Cruise remains thoroughly estranged from her father, her polarizing dad has other children. Decades ago, he and ex-wife Nicole Kidman welcomed their two, treasured children. And while they largely stay out of the limelight, they appeared together in a still recent public pic with Tom Cruise – days after refusing to do the same with Nicole Kidman.

(Photo Credit: Daniel Leal – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Tom Cruise Smiles Alongside His Children He Shares with Nicole Kidman Sometimes, celebrity photos surface on other accounts and do not immediately gain traction. That is the case with a December 2023 photo that former NFL player Derrick Brooks shared on Instagram. In the now resurfaced pic, Brooks explained that Cruise had stopped by ahead of a hockey game. “Good Evening, Wow, look who stopped by my office before our [Tampa Bay Lightning] game tonight! @tomcruise,” Brooks wrote in the caption. “I was a little star struck but played it cool and He said he was too!” In the Instagram photo, Tom Cruise appears in a fairly prominent position beside Brooks himself. Cruise’s 29-year-old son, Connor, stands to Brooks’ other side. In the photo, he flashes a thumbs up. Tom’s daughter, Bella, also appears in the group pic, albeit less prominently. She stands behind the men, flashing a smile. ACTORS NICOLE KIDMAN AND TOM CRUISE AT THE ‘TO DIE FOR’ FILM PREMIERE IN SYDNEY. (Photo Credit: Patrick Riviere/Getty Images) Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise share two children: Bella and Connor Tom Cruise was married to sensational actress and beloved AMC meme queen Nicole Kidman from 1990 until 2001. In 1992, they adopted Isabella (Bella). Three years later, in 1995, the then-couple adopted Connor. Despite Cruise and Kidman’s divorce, they both maintain relationships with their children. Part of the “secret” to this, many believe, is Kidman’s reluctance to speak out against their father or of the Church of Scientology in public.

Before their divorce, the two welcomed Suri Cruise, who turned 18 on April 18, 2024. As far as the public knows, father and daughter have not seen each other in over a decade. The public is divided over whether this estrangement will be permanent and over whether it is ultimately for the best. Unlike Suri, however, Bella and Conner retain a relationship with both parents.

Most of the world assumes that Kidman has no end of things to say about Tom Cruise, their marriage, and her experiences with the Church of Scientology — a controversial organization that has made Cruise something of a poster-boy. She has deftly avoided these topics, however. Kidman’s caution has mostly paid off, though her eldest children did snub her on a big night recently. Family can be very complex. A family photo like Tom Cruise’s is even more rare for Kidman. Tom Cruise Reunites with Kids in Rare Photo After Nicole Kidman Snub was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

The Disney darling shared four adorable black and white photos holding her baby shortly after her water birth. “I Have been dreaming of holding you in my arms for months and the past 5 days of getting to know you, stare at you and smell you has been pure moments of magic.

Speaking of Matthew, he also posted about the happy news of being a girl dad x3! “My literal warrior goddess of a wife gave birth to our beautiful Townes Meadow Bair at home on 5/3/24.,” Matthew revealed in his Instagram post. He then made a bit of a joke at his wife’s expense. “She’s happy, healthy, chunky and looks like nobody in our genetic pool so if anyone knows of @hilaryduff’s whereabouts roughly 9 months ago to date, please reach out for a cash reward.” Ha Ha, Matthew!

Tom Selleck could lose his ranch, one that he has owned for decades. For nearly a decade and a half, Blue Bloods has dominated TV ratings. It is, many argue, a consummate CBS series — for better or for worse. Despite high viewing numbers, the network has opted to pull the plug after fourteen seasons. Though veteran actor Tom Selleck admits that he will never lack for comfort, he fears that losing this series will mean that he can no longer afford his sprawling Ventura County property. Tom Selleck visits the Build Series to discuss his show “Blue Bloods at Build Studio on September 29, 2017. (Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) ‘Blue Bloods’ will end after Season 14 In November of 2023, CBS decided that Blue Bloods would end after fourteen seasons. Season 14 airs in two parts during 2024, with the second — and final — 8-episode portion of the season beginning in the autumn of 2024. Tom Selleck has starred as the unsubtly named New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan since the series premiered in 2010. The 79-year-old actor has led a long and illustrious career. But even so, he may have to sell his 63-acre California ranch once he loses the income from this series. Tom Selleck discussed his career at length on CBS Sunday Morning. And he very directly addressed his concerns about keeping his ranch. “You know, hopefully I keep working enough to hold onto the place,” Selleck expressed. Many might express surprise that a man who reportedly make $200,000 per Blue Bloods episode has financial concerns of any kind. But not only does a lot of that money go to other people (like agents), but Selleck’s living expenses are well above average. Tom Selleck attends the Blue Bloods 150th Episode Celebration at 92nd Street Y on March 27, 2017. (Photo Credit: Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) A successful acting career seldom means infinite wealth “Seriously, that’s an issue? If you stopped working?” asked an astonished Tracy Smith during the interview. “That’s always an issue,” Selleck pointed out. “If I stopped working, yeah.” He was quick to clarify that this doesn’t mean that he’s broke: “Am I set for life? Yeah, but maybe not on a 63-acre ranch!” In other words, if he stopped working, he would need to cut back on his expenses — including the sprawling property. Tom Selleck arrives for funeral services being held for former first lady Nancy Reagan at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library March 11, 2016. (Photo Credit: Irfan Khan-Pool/Getty Images) In 1988, Tom Selleck first purchased the ranch. This was after he quit Magnum: PI, which is to this date considered a quintessential cultural touchstone of the 1980s. Selleck has owned this ranch for most if not all of the lifespan of your average Millennial. The accomplished actor is also turning 80 in January of 2025. Though that is well past the retirement age of any decent society, he admits that he is not planning to quit acting. “As an actor, you never lose — I don’t lose, anyway — that sense that every time I finish a job, it’s my last job,” he explained. “I like the fact that there’s no excuses. You just go to work and you do the work. And I have a lot of reverence for what I call ‘the work,’ and I love it. And I’d like to keep doing it.” Tom Selleck attends the PowerWomen 2013 awards on November 14, 2013. (Photo Credit: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images) Perhaps CBS will change their minds about canceling ‘Blue Bloods’ “I will continue to think that CBS will come to their senses,” Selleck stated aspirationally. And not just for the sake of his ranch. “We’re the third-highest scripted show in all of broadcast. We’re winning the night. All the cast wants to come back,” he pointed out. Selleck continued: “And I can tell you this: we aren’t sliding off down a cliff. We’re doing good shows, and still holding our place. So, I don’t know. You tell me!” Tom Selleck speaks onstage during the 2012 Writers Guild Awards at the Hollywood Palladium on February 19, 2012.

But sometimes, networks (and streaming services) will cancel a successful show because it costs money to make — and prop up a worse show that gets fewer ratings because it’s so inexpensive that it’s more profitable. Blue Bloods is not without its critics or controversies, but it’s still relatively well-regarded for what it is. And after 14 years, it still has millions of fans who’d be happy to tune in. We suspect that Tom Selleck has more than his ranch on his mind when it comes to hoping that the show will continue.

According to a couple new reports, Gisele Bundchen is very unhappy over the material that was aired live on Netflix this past Sunday night. Which does make a lot of sense. When you stop to consider there were jokes made about the model’s boyfriend sticking his tongue up her rear end.

(Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images) In case you missed it, the aforementioned streaming service aired a roast of Tom Brady this week. And while the handsome quarterback was mocked for his involvement in a crypto scheme, along with his strange diet and connection to a controversial personal trainer… it was Brady’s failed marriage to Bundchen that most presenters/comedians focused on during the three-hour special. Most notably, many of the stars on stage made references to how Gisele is allegedly dating her jujitsu intructor. “Eight f–king karate classes a day?” Kevin Hart quipped about how Brady should have realized something was going on. “Eight karate classes a day… and she’s still a white belt. The only bruises she had were on her ass. Everyone should have known.” Tom Brady of the New England Patriots celebrates with his ex-wife Gisele Bündchen after the Super Bowl LIII against the Los Angeles Rams at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on February 3, 2019 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images) A source now tells In Touch Weekly that Gisele may not be a huge fan of those who exposed her personal life in such a manner — but she’s especially angry at her ex-husband. “She’s livid with Tom for even agreeing to doing it,” ​an told this tabloid on Monday, May 6, explaining Gisele’s reasoning as follows: “He knew the jokes would be cruel and aimed at his marriage and at her, but he did it anyway. She blames Tom for not even taking her or their children into consideration.” The former spouses share two children, son ​Benjamin, 14, and daughter Vivian, 11; both of whom are definitely old enough to search the Internet or watch Netflix and learn of these raunchy jokes.

(Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images) “The jokes hit below the belt any they made it look like Gisele cheated, which she’s been desperately trying to deny. I know she has a temper and I’m sure she called Tom and let him have it,” the source went on. Indeed, by all accounts, Bundchen and Brady split because the latter kept playing football, seemingly making it a priority over his family. She did not cheat. People Magazine, meanwhile, has quoted its own source, who says Gisele is “deeply disappointed by the disrespectful portrayal of her family on Sunday evening’s roast show.” Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen attend the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” Costume Institute Gala at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 1, 2017 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images) We can understand where Gisele is coming from. Just consider what Nikki Glaser had to say during her segment: “The only thing dumber than you saying yes to this roast is when you said, ‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu. “How much must it suck knowing that your ex-wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ​ass while eating hers? That’s got to be terrible.” Yeah. Gotta be awkward to know your son definitely heard that joke.

Britney Spears is debunking rumors that she had some sort of breakdown. In the wake of reports of Britney having a fight with her boyfriend, she was quick to call out “fake news” as tabloids speculated wildly about her well being. There’s more to what she has to say than that, however. Britney says that people are seeing her at her worst … because someone close to her is setting her up to look bad. It may sound paranoid, but this has happened to her many, many times. Britney Spears arrives for the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on July 22, 2019. (Photo Credit: VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images) Did Britney Spears have some sort of ‘breakdown’ in early May? With rumors circulating that Britney Spears suffered a “breakdown” at a Los Angeles hotel, she wants to clear the air. As we previously shared, there were claims — reports to major entertainment news outlets — about some sort of incident at the Chateau Marmont. Following an alleged disruption, paramedics paid the room a visit. And a photographer nabbed a photo of Britney looking less than her best. Though Britney has had alleged hotel issues in the past, the initial rumors were that she’d had an altercation with her boyfriend, Paul Soliz. However, a furious Britney took to her Instagram at the time. She did this to show that she had an injury. But also to accuse her mother of leaking at least some aspects of what really happened. “I know my mom was involved!!!” Britney announced in her caption. “I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out!!!” In early May of 2024, Britney Spears suggested that her mother might be “involved” in leaks and made-up stories about her personal life. She also thanked her attorney for helping her to get through a difficult time. (Image Credit: Instagram) Britney Spears feels like someone close to her is setting her up (again) “I was set up just like she did way back when !!!” Britney described. She is referring to when people close to her would leak her daily schedule and more to tabloids in the years leading up to her conservatorship. “I wish I had grandparents !!! I can’t stand her !!!” Britney expressed. She then admitted: “I honestly don’t care I will say it!!!” She also gave a shout-out to attorney Mathew Rosengart, writing: “Psss this man is wonderful !!! He’s like a father to me and he got me through last night !!! I adore you and admire you mister Mathew !!!” “I honestly wish my life was as wild as it has been portrayed!!!” Britney wrote on Monday, May 6. The post was clearly responding to rumors about her hotel “breakdown.” She divulged: “Either way, some s–t actually has happened to my foot and I might have to get surgery. … Fingers crossed, hopefully not.” Britney then reminded: “But I feel that I was harassed and gaslit and tricked to go on the street when my car was supposed to be there!!! I was in my pajamas and yes, I had been crying because I hurt my foot!!!” On May 6 of 2024, Britney Spears wrote an Instagram caption to debunk claims about an alleged “breakdown,” citing her recent injury. (Image Credit: Instagram) Britney Spears explains that she did not have a ‘breakdown,’ she just cried because her foot hurt “No breakdown !!! I’m a grown ass woman who is actually very naive in most situations !!!” Britney then acknowledged. “I am simply embarrassed they got me in my damn pajamas !!!” she admitted. Britney expressed: “I don’t feel loved … I feel mistreated !!! With that said, I’m going to treat myself this week !!!” Britney Spears Blasts ‘Breakdown’ Rumor: Someone Is Setting Me Up! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Drake’s Toronto mansion was taped off by police last night following a shooting near the property. According to a tweet from Toronto police, shots were fired around 2:10 a.m. ET near the corner of Bayview and Lawrence Avenues. The suspect is believed to have fled in a car immediately after the shots were fired. Drake attends Drake’s Till Death Do Us Part rap battle on October 30, 2021 in Long Beach, California. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Shooting Near Drake’s Home: Everything We Know So Far The officers who responded to the call discovered a seriously wounded man who was taken to a nearby hospital. Thankfully, no one else was harmed. Drake was not injured, and it’s unclear if he was at home at the time of the shooting. The wounded man’s injuries have been described by The New York Post as non-life-threatening.

(Photo by Christopher Polk/Getty Images for Coachella) Hopefully, the conflict that led to the shooting had nothing to do with Drake. But social media speculators are already jumping to the conclusion that the incident was related to the ongoing feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. The war of words between Drake and Kendrick is the most high-profile hip hop beef in recent memory. Recording artist Drake performs onstage at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Festival at T-Mobile Arena on September 23, 2016 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Many have compared the situation to the deadly war between Tupac Shakur and the Notorious B.I.G. that played out in the mid-nineties. Earlier this week, Kendrick released a scathing diss track titled “Not Like Us.” The song featured an aerial photo of Drake’s home on its cover.

(Photo by Gustavo Caballero/Getty Images for Turner) The bad blood between the rappers has been simmering at least since last year. It boiled over in a big way in recent weeks, with both artists releasing multiple diss tracks directed at one another. “Not Like Us,” the latest from Kendrick, begins with the line “I see dead people” and contains ominous references to the ways in which Drake’s recent remarks have sparked outrage. It’s important to note that these are just lines in a song, and at present, there’s no reason to believe that last night’s shooting had anything to do with the feud between Kendrick and Drake.

(Photo by Cole Burston/Getty Images) According to the Post, Drake’s house is at the center of the investigation. But that does not mean that the rapper was being targeted. That said, Drake and his loved ones are likely taking extra precautions today. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Prince Harry won’t be visiting with his ailing father King Charles on his trip to the UK this week. And not because he doesn’t want to! Apparently, the King is too busy to make time for his youngest son. …Awkward! Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex looks on in the Mercedes garage prior to the F1 Grand Prix of United States at Circuit of The Americas on October 22, 2023 in Austin, Texas. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Prince Harry Won’t See Dad King Charles in London Due to Monarch’s ‘Full’ Schedule When King Charles announced he was battling cancer in February, Harry was on a plane from America to visit his father within the week. Their visit was brief, with Harry staying a mere 24 hours in the country before leaving. On May 8, Harry returns to his country of birth to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. It seemed the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his royal family, as he has no see his father since his last trip and has not traveled to the U.K. since Kate Middleton annonced her own cancer diagnosis. However, it sounds like no one has time for Harry right now – literally. “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 program,” a spokesperson for Harry told The Post ahead of Harry’s visit. The King’s schedule includes his weekly audience with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, as well as the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson – WPA Pool /Getty Images) Prince Harry Snubbed By Father on Solo U.K. Trip It’s really a shame to hear Harry won’t be seeing his dad, given the state of his health. Harry could also have used some family time, since he made the trek to London alone. Meghan Markle and their two young kids, Archie and Lilibeth, stayed behind in California. Still, Harry is trying to save face. “The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” As for Harry’s commitments, he’s expected to give a reading at London’s St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8 to mark the inaugural Invictus Games took place a decade earlier. He will stay, as he did before, in a hotel, rather than a royal residence.

(Photo Credit: Aaron Chown – WPA Pool/Getty Images) Kate Middleton and Prince William are ‘going through hell’ Prince Harry will also not be seeing his brother Prince William and Kate Middleton on this trip. He has not seen his only brother and that side of the family for over a year, as tensions remain high between the two families. Besides, it’s clear that Kate and William are going through it right now and extra drama is kind of the last thing they need. A few days before Harry’s arrival, designer Amaia Arrieta made some seemingly offhand remarks about the royal couple while speaking to the Daily Telegraph. “I’m heartbroken at the moment,” Arrieta expressed. “I think they are going through hell.” Arrieta added: “I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.” Catherine, Princess of Wales attends the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) That paints a bleak picture of William and Kate Most infer that Arrieta is referring to the state of the Prince and Princess of Wales as the latter undergoes cancer treatments. In January, surgeons uncovered signs of cancer in Kate’s abdomen. Despite her status as a taxpayer-funded national symbol, many details of her diagnosis remain secret. For months, the royal firm concealed her cancer altogether, claiming that she was simply recovering from surgery. Now, thanks in part to a colossal PR blunder by the royals, everyone knows about Kate’s condition. Like her father-in-law, she has cancer but aims to make a full recovery. We hope that she does. Princess Charlotte of Wales, Prince George of Wales, Catherine, Princess of Wales and Prince William, Prince of Wales attend The “Together At Christmas” Carol Service at Westminster Abbey on December 08, 2023. (Photo Credit: Jeff Spicer/Getty Images) Some have interpreted Arrieta’s statement as a reference to William and Kate experiencing marital problems. From the Prince of Pegging’s alleged affairs to the alarming statistics on men leaving cancer-stricken wives, there has been a lot of speculation over the state of their royal marriage. It is possible that Kate’s cancer diagnosis has brought other marital issues to the forefront, or at least coincided with them. Occam’s Razor, however, suggests that Arrieta is referring to Kate’s cancer crisis. Surely, that is enough “hell” for anyone.

(Photo Credit: Chris Jackson/Getty Images For Buckingham Palace) Will the royal firm be angry with Amaia Arrieta? In general, Kensington Palace likes to keep a strict lid on any comments that anyone with access to the royal family might make to the press. Usually, that means that negative stories about Meghan Markle are fair game, but everything else must remain under seal. However, historically, the royal family has shown tremendous latitude towards the wardrobe department. There were times when Angela Kelly was effectively Queen Elizabeth’s personal gatekeeper. One assumes that Arrieta’s relationship with the Prince and Princess of Wales will endure.

Katy Perry was not in attendance at the 2024 Met Gala. But thanks to the power of AI, we know what it would look like if she had attended! Katy’s past Met Gala looks have made her one of the event’s most iconic figures. Unfortunately, work obligations prevented her from attending this year’s star-studded fundraiser. Katy Perry arrives for the 2022 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 2, 2022, in New York. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) So why is it that photos of Katy working the red carpet in a theme-appropriate gown went viral on social media last night? Katy Perry’s Met Gala AI Photos Fool the Internet Well, if you have any doubts about how sophisticated AI has become, these fake photos of Katy at the Met should be enough to convince you of the tech’s capabilities. In fact, the pics were so convincing that they even fooled Katy’s mom! Katy posted the above carousel on Instagram last night with a caption explaining her 2024 Met Gala situation. “Couldn’t make it to the MET, had to work,” she wrote.

(Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Kary included a screenshot of a text from her mother, who applauded her bold look at the Met. “Didn’t know you went to the Met,” Katy’s mom wrote,” adding: “What a gorgeous gown, you look like the Rose Parade, you are your own float lol.” Katy Perry attends The 2022 Met Gala Celebrating “In America: An Anthology of Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 02, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) It might have been funny if Katy had gone along with the ruse, but to her credit, she quickly corrected her mom. “lol mom the AI got you too, BEWARE!” she replied. In fairness to Katy’s mom, the pics were incredibly convincing. And it was pretty surprising that Katy skipped the Met, which always seemed like one of her favorite events.

(Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) What’s Next For Katy Perry? Katy didn’t offer any specifics with regard to what sort of work was keeping her away from the gala. But her Instagram carousel concluded with a short video of her in a recording studio, so she might be on the verge of releasing some new music. Katy Perry attends The 2019 Met Gala Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images) Whatever the case this, Katy is at a critical juncture in her career. She’s leaving American Idol after seven seasons, and she hasn’t released a studio album in nearly four years. Clearly, she’s planning some big moves at the moment. So we guess it’s not surprising that Katy Perry could only attend this year’s Met Gala in AI form. We understand, of course. But her mom’s not the only one who wishes those photos were real!

Well… hello there, Joy-Anna Duggar! Earlier this week, the former Counting On cast member proved that she isn’t exactly her father’s daughter any longer by using her Instagram page to promote Luxmery’s sculpting bodysuit. Yes, Duggar is now earning money by helping to advertise for an article of clothing that emphasizes the size of her breasts. That sound you just heard is Jim Bob Duggar vomiting his religious brains out. “I haven’t been able to confidently wear a lot of my favorite jeans since before having kids! I never really saw myself as a bodysuit kind of girl, but I’m officially HOOKED,” wrote Joy-Anna as a caption to this promotional post. “It is still comfortable and no bulge when I sit down in it!!” Duggar then said this piece of apparel can really give on a “great little confidence boost,” prior to telling followers just where and how to purchase it. We never thought we’d see the day. Joy-Anna Duggar appears here way back in the day on Counting On. (TLC) Later in this same piece of social media footage, the TLC alum asks spouse Austin Forsyth to come into the room and check out her new outfit. He proceeds to follow the script perfectly by remarking: “Wow, mama, you look hot!” Joy-Anna, of course, was raised in a household in which she wasn’t even permitted to wear pants; Jim Bob would prefer it if his female children covered up all their skin at pretty much all times. He’s a pretty horrible human being, which is why we appreciate Joy-Anna just breaking all her dad’s rules at this point. Side-by-side, Austin Forsyth and Joy-Anna Duggar speak to YouTube subscribers. (Image Credit: Youtube) This video, meanwhile, comes in the wake of Joy-Anna admitting she’s been suffering from postpartum depression. A mother of three, who welcomed her latest kid in May 2023, Duggar admitted in April: “This postpartum has been a lot harder than my past postpartums.” Joy-Anna explained that she’s seen a doctor to help her deal with such physical and mental health problems. “She said, ‘I definitely think that you are struggling with some post-partum depression’,” the TLC personality explained. Joy-Anna during her stint as a reality star. (TLC) The mother of three went on to say that her physician took a full lab panel and found out that she was low on a number of vitamins. “There’s also been the mental side of things that I’ve been really battling and I’ve never had to battle something quite like this,” Joy-Anna a few weeks back. In a moment of admirable candor, she added: “I want you guys to know that I don’t always have my life together and I don’t always have a great day. It’s not always easy.” Amen to that, right, parents around the world? Let’s all hope Joy-Anna Duggar isn’t just looking great these days, but that she’s feeling a lot better, too.
