“I am almost a year sober. I’ll be a year sober on Wednesday,” Leviss, 29, told E! News at the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday, April 1. “So, it’s a huge accomplishment. And I’m just really proud of how far I’ve come.”
Leviss has also been “staying really active” in an effort to keep her mind from “spinning” as she keeps her social media usage under control. The former Bravo star said she unfollowed several accounts “except for a select few that are a little bit more biased towards my side, because I like to at least know that my voice is being heard.”
Her podcast, “Rachel Goes Rogue,” is another outlet for the model to take her “power back” after Scandoval led to her quitting Vanderpump Rules.
“Just sharing what I’ve learned about myself through this journey,” she said. “And hopefully helping other people who have been through abusive relationships, toxic friend groups, that can relate to what I’m talking about.”
Leviss is looking ahead but almost came face-to-face with her past at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, as Katie Maloney also attended the event. It seems the former costars narrowly missed an awkward reunion at the awards show and they were not seen in close proximity during the Los Angeles event.

Leviss walked away from Bravo following season 10 of Pump Rules. The season was extended when news of Leviss’ affair with Sandoval, 40, made headlines in March 2023. Sandoval’s nine-year relationship with Ariana Madix ended in the wake of the scandal. Leviss and Sandoval initially remained together, but Leviss broke things off after a 90-day stint in a mental health facility.
Sandoval and Leviss have both made many comments about the situation, as did the rest of the Vanderpump Rules cast when Sandoval and Madix returned for season 11. Lala Kent accused Sandoval of manipulating Leviss during their whirlwind romance before digging into him further.

“You know what triggered me was when she said [during the final part of the season 10 reunion], ‘If I don’t fall in line with Sandoval then I have nobody,’” Kent, 33, recalled of Leviss’ statements when the cast sat down for the reunion. “You isolate. You groom. You lie. I do not want to know you. You are scary.”
When viewers were introduced to staff at Lisa Vanderpump‘s restaurant during Vanderpump Rules‘ 2013 premiere, it was clear everyone was intertwined in one another’s love lives. From Stassi Schroeder‘s rocky relationship with Jax Taylor, which took a turn when he hooked up with her best friend Kristen Doute, to Peter Madrigal’s casual connections to several […]
Leviss resurfaced Kent’s quotes during a March episode of her podcast.
“If I am going to be completely honest, I do feel like I have been groomed because I was in a very vulnerable state of mind,” Leviss said about her ex. “I just got out of a relationship [with James Kennedy] that I feel like was very destructive to my wellbeing. He witnessed that whole thing play out. Things started shifting when we went to Coachella and he really went out of his way to cater to me.”
King Charles IIIspoke out for the first time since his cancer diagnosis to thank fans for sending thoughtful words of encouragement to him in the wake of his health battle.
“I would like to express my most heartfelt thanks for the many messages of support and good wishes I have received in recent days,” Charles, 75, said in a personal statement released by Buckingham Palace on Saturday, February 10. “As all those who have been affected by cancer will know, such kind thoughts are the greatest comfort and encouragement.”
Charles added that if one good thing has come from this, it’s that he’s glad opening up about his cancer diagnosis has been able to help educate people all over the world about the disease, and he’s more appreciative than ever of everything healthcare workers do.
“It is equally heartening to hear how sharing my own diagnosis has helped promote public understanding and shine a light on the work of all those organizations which support cancer patients and their families across the U.K. and wider world,” His Majesty explained. “My lifelong admiration for their tireless care and dedication is all the greater as a result of my own personal experience.”
Several British royals have been diagnosed with various forms of cancer since the start of their family’s reign. Buckingham Palace announced in February 2024 that King Charles III received a cancer diagnosis one week after he was admitted to The London Clinic to undergo treatment for an enlarged prostate. “During The King’s recent hospital procedure […]
While Prince Harry has not publicly addressed the matter, he did arrive in London the day after the news broke, with many believing it was so he could check on his father firsthand.
Meanwhile, the king’s eldest son, Prince William, spoke out on behalf of his family on Wednesday, February 7, saying, “We really appreciate everyone’s kindness.”
Since sharing the news of his diagnoses on Monday, February 5, the palace has said that Charles has started “a schedule of regular treatments” and was “advised to postpone public-facing duties” for the time being so he can focus on his health and recovery.
Prior to the death of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles III had been the heir apparent to the British throne for seven decades. Charles held the position longer than anyone in the monarchy’s history. While waiting for his ascension, he served his country as the Prince of Wales. After serving in the military and founding […]
The cancer was found while the monarch underwent a prostate surgery last month, but the king reportedly does not have prostate cancer. The palace did not specify the type of cancer Charles was diagnosed with nor what stage it had progressed to.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak hinted that the disease was diagnosed at an early stage. “All our thoughts are with him and his family. Thankfully, this has been caught early,” Sunak, 43, said during his Tuesday, February 6, appearance on BBC Radio 5 Live, adding he’s hopeful Charles will “make a full recovery” after getting “the treatment that he needs.”
Selma Blair is getting candid on what it’s like being in remission for multiple sclerosis — and the pain that comes with getting older.
“I hurt all the time,” Blair, 51, said in an Instagram video on Monday, January 29. “I say that only for you people that hurt also. Like I get it.”
The Legally Blonde actress went on to say that, in general, aging “hurts” for everyone.
“You have to stretch,” she explained, adding that for her it’s “hard to stretch” because of Ehlers-Danlos. “The Ehlers-Danlos will make me really, really stiff because I’ll pull my muscles too easily. So I get some injuries, but this is nothing that’s like horrible, scary stuff or anything. It’s just like one of those extra things that turns into a chronic thing and you have to watch.”
(According to the Mayo Clinic, Ehlers-Danlos is a group of inherited disorders that affect connective tissues resulting in people usually having overly flexible joints and stretchy, fragile skin.)
Selma Blair has been candid about navigating her new normal since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2018. Blair — who shares son Arthur with ex Jason Bleick — gave fans an inside look at her health ups and downs in the 2021 documentary Introducing, Selma Blair. “We have a long time to be dead […]
Blair confirmed that her multiple sclerosis (MS) is fine and she’s “still in remission,” however, she is due for an MRI and blood work soon.
“I seem to be doing fine and [an IV drip] helps so much,” Blair shared. “I still get tired. I still am stiff like all the time. If I’m by myself, I do move and walk better and in open space. But still I notice when I go out it’s still very pronounced when I go into different rooms, hallways or meeting new people or even focusing on talking about it.”

Blair admitted that she doesn’t mind talking about “how strange” her symptoms are because she knows it “can look weird.”
“And when I didn’t talk to anyone else that had MS or other things that might be like this, I didn’t know that it could come and go like that,” she explained. “I was used to things being a little more linear when I was younger or that was just the way things were and I felt bad all the time.”
Although she is doing “well,” it still makes Blair “sad” that she just wants to “sleep and then get on [her] horse and be better.”
“I’m a beginner every day, so it’s like Groundhog Day and I’m doing really well there’s no complaining, but I don’t know if I’ll ever have the coordination or balance or stamina that I want to,” Blair said, adding that she’s still “lucky” and “grateful.”

Three years after being diagnosed with MS, Blair announced in August 2021 that she had entered into remission due to undergoing a stem cell transplant.
“My prognosis is great. I’m in remission,” Blair explained to a Television Critics Association panel at the time, per Today. “It took about a year after stem cell for the inflammation and lesions to really go down, so I was reluctant to talk about it because I felt this need to be more healed. I don’t have any new lesions forming. There’s still maintenance, treatment and glitches, and wonderful things. Cognitively, I’m very changed and that’s the harder part.”
Britney Spears opened up about her love for food — and got candid about her weight.
“Food is my weakness, I will admit it!!!” Spears, 42, captioned an Instagram photo of a cup of hot chocolate on Friday, January 19. “When I was younger and would go to restaurants with my mom, she would either say ‘sit still’ or ‘you are eating way too fast … please slow down’!!! I’m a passionate eater!!!”
The “Toxic” singer then reflected on when she was younger at lunch and realized that “everybody’s meal was still there” when hers was already gone.
“But it’s weird, my weight pretty much stays the same!!! I’m usually 135 on [the] scale … that’s my normal weight!!! Well that’s good for me,” Spears shared, adding that she wants “to be 125-128” eventually. (Per The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, a woman of Spears’ height is generally in a healthy weight range anywhere between 110 and 140 lbs.)
Britney Spears’ career and personal life have faced a series of ups and downs over the years. Spears first showed off her vocal skills on the singing competition Star Search at 10 years old in 1992. Following a stint on The Mickey Mouse Club, she signed a record deal with Jive Records in 1997 and […]
“But I’m probably gonna do 140 now that this damn BLAZE coffee place has opened!!! DAMN!!!” she noted. “I’m just saying this pic is better than any award … any trip … any sibling … any car !!! It looks absolutely amazing.”
After gushing over her hot chocolate again, Spears went on to share another one of her favorite desserts that she has loved for a while.
“I still eat the same secret hot fudge Sunday [sic] from Wendy’s!!!! The one that has the deep bottom brownie,” she gushed at the time. “Yep they still have it!! Around dinner I will go eat one for dinner!!!”
At the end of her caption, Spears reflected on health tips she learned from her ex-husband Sam Asghari. (The twosome split in August 2023 after 14 months of marriage.)
“My ex-husband was a trainer so he knew a lot of different ways and easy tricks to stay healthy!!! With food I think it’s weird though!!! Timing is important I think!!!” the “…Baby One More Time” singer said to her followers. “Sometimes when I see food commercials I’m like GROSSSS. But then sometimes I stop and drool!!!”
Spears concluded: “I suggest whoever you’re with or thinking of being with … make sure you look at them just the way you’re looking at that blaze coffee. Pss CAN I HAVE MORE PLEASE!!!”

Spears previously opened up about struggling with her body image. In her memoir, The Woman in Me, published in October 2023, Britney claimed that her dad, Jamie Spears, criticized her body during her conservatorship.
“If I thought getting criticized about my body in the press was bad, it hurt even more from my own father,” she wrote. “He repeatedly told me I looked fat and that I was going to have to do something about it.”
Sarah Ferguson has been diagnosed with skin cancer, Us Weekly can confirm.
“Following her diagnosis with an early form of breast cancer this summer, Sarah, Duchess of York has now been diagnosed with malignant melanoma,” a spokesperson for the Duchess of York, 64, told Us in a statement on Sunday, January 21. “Her dermatologist asked that several moles were removed and analyzed at the same time as the Duchess was undergoing reconstructive surgery following her mastectomy, and one of these has been identified as cancerous.”
Ferguson is currently undergoing “further investigations” to check that her recent diagnosis was “caught in the early stages.”
“Clearly, another diagnosis so soon after treatment for breast cancer has been distressing but the Duchess remains in good spirits,” the rep adds. “The Duchess wants to thank the entire medical team [who] has supported her, particularly her dermatologist whose vigilance ensured the illness was detected when it was. She believes her experience underlines the importance of checking the size, shape, color and texture and emergence of new moles that can be a sign of melanoma.”
Before and after royalty! The Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, has lived her life both in and out of the spotlight. Ferguson was born in October 1959 in London to Major Ronald Ferguson and Susan Barrantes. The author went on to finish a course at Queen’s Secretarial College before deciding to drop out of school […]
She is currently recuperating at the MAYRLIFE clinic in Austria.
Ferguson previously announced in June 2023 that she was diagnosed with an early form of breast cancer and underwent surgery.

“The Duchess is receiving the best medical care and her doctors have told her that the prognosis is good,” a rep for Ferguson told Us at the time. “She is now recuperating with her family. The Duchess wants to express her immense gratitude to all the medical staff who have supported her in recent days.”
Ferguson had a mastectomy to remove the cancerous tissue and has since “beat breast cancer.”
“I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday celebrations today. 2023 hasn’t been without its ups and downs, trials, lessons, laughter, miracles and joy,” she penned in a December 2023 Instagram message, reflecting on her year. “I made the Sunday Times Top 5 bestseller list for my historical romance novel, A Most Intriguing Lady! I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I beat breast cancer and now I have got a Derek on my left.”

Ferguson shares two daughters, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, with ex-husband Prince Andrew. Ferguson and Andrew, 63, split in 1992 and finalized their divorce four years later.
Neither Andrew, Beatrice, 35, nor Eugenie, 33, have publicly discussed Ferguson’s current diagnosis. Beatrice, for her part, is the patron of the British Skin Foundation and has previously worked with skin cancer patients.
Kensington Palace announced on Wednesday, January 17, that the Princess of Wales, 42, underwent a “planned” procedure at The London Clinic.
“The surgery was successful, and it is expected that she will remain in hospital for ten to fourteen days, before returning home to continue her recovery,” the statement read via X (formerly Twitter). “Based on the current medical advice, she is unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.”
According to Kensington Palace, Kate will be taking a break from upcoming royal engagements.
“The Princess of Wales appreciates the interest this statement will generate. She hopes that the public will understand her desire to maintain as much normality for her children as possible; and her wish that her personal medical information remains private,” the statement continued. “Kensington Palace will, therefore, only provide updates on Her Royal Highness’ progress when there is significant new information to share.”

The statement concluded: “The Princess of Wales wishes to apologize to all those concerned for the fact that she has to postpone her upcoming engagements. She looks forward to reinstating as many as possible, as soon as possible.”
A true princess! Princess Kate made her way through the ranks of the royal family, quickly transforming from a commoner into the future queen consort of England. The Duchess of Cambridge met her future husband, Prince William, in college, and the couple tied the knot in 2011 after nearly a decade together. They went on to welcome son Prince George, daughter Princess Charlotte and son Prince Louis. Since joining the royal family, Kate has […]
Kate’s last public appearance was with her family at the annual walk to Christmas Day church service in Sandringham. She joined her husband, Prince William, and their kids, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, on the way to mass at St Mary Magdalene.

Earlier that month, Kate reflected on the holiday season in a prerecorded message for the Royal Carols: Together at Christmas concert.
The world watched in awe as Prince William and Princess Kate wed at Westminster Abbey in London on April 29, 2011, and years later, commoners still stand impressed with the couple. Though they didn’t tie the knot until 2011, Kate and William first met 10 years prior while studying history at Scotland’s University of St […]
“Christmas is a time when we come together and celebrate the birth of a newborn baby. The arrival of every baby is a precious and momentous time, it brings us together to reflect on new beginnings and brings hope for the future,” she said in December 2023. “Throughout our earliest interactions, relationships and experiences, with those who love us, even before we are born, we lay the foundations to so much of what that future will depend on. But only by valuing and supporting the vital role of the adults in a child’s world can we hope to make a difference.”
Mary Lou Retton is detailing her ongoing recovery after she was hospitalized with a rare form of pneumonia.
“I’m very private and to come out and talk about it [is difficult],” Retton, 55, told Hoda Kotb in a Sunday, January 7, teaser for a Today show interview, confirming she is in a “vulnerable” state. “This is serious and this is life and I am so grateful to be here.”
She continued: “I am blessed to be here because there was a time when they were about to put me on life support.”
Retton also noted that she is currently “on oxygen,” after Kotb, 59, pointed out the retired gymnast’s breathing apparatus.
Retton was hospitalized in October 2023, with her daughter McKenna Lane Kelley noting in a social media statement that she was “fighting for her life.” (Retton shares daughters Shayla, 28, McKenna, 26, Skyla, 23, and Emma, 21, with ex-husband Shannon Kelley.)
“My amazing mom, Mary Lou, has a very rare form of pneumonia and is fighting for her life,” McKenna wrote via SpotFund. “She is not able to breathe on her own. She’s been in the ICU for over a week now. Out of respect for her and her privacy, I will not disclose all details. However, I will disclose that she is not insured.”

McKenna added at the time, “We ask that if you could help in any way, that 1) you PRAY! and 2) if you could help us with finances for the hospital bill. ANYTHING, absolutely anything, would be so helpful for my family and my mom. Thank y’all so very much!”
Making it to the Olympics is a feat that countless athletes dream of their entire lives. After years of blood, sweat and tears, participating in the most prestigious athletic event in the world is a once-in-a-lifetime moment. Some athletes compete one time in the Olympic Games and hang up their hats, stepping gracefully into retirement. […]
“Mom is HOME & in recovery mode,” McKenna wrote via Instagram later that October. “We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us, but baby steps. We are overwhelmed with the love and support from everyone. Grateful doesn’t scrape the surface of the posture of our hearts. Thank you Jesus, thank you doctors & nurses, thank you to this loving community of support.”
Retton broke her silence on the ordeal several days later.

“I’m beyond blessed to have the opportunity to make this statement,” the gold medalist wrote via her Instagram. “I am overwhelmed with the love and support from the world as I fight. I am forever grateful to you all! I’m with family continuing to slowly recover and staying very positive as I know this recovery is a long and slow process.”
Retton’s full interview with Kotb airs on Monday, January 8.
“Hey everybody! I know that everyone was just curious to know what I did on my 65th birthday. I spent it in the hospital. Yes, I had a bowel blockage, severe cramping, came into the ER,” she explained via Instagram Stories on Sunday, December 31, according to multiple outlets.
Leslie, who filmed her health update from a hospital bed, noted that she underwent surgery after doctors discovered the blockage, which she described as “just something so random.” She explained: “[It was] actually, scar tissue from an appendectomy I had when I was 18 years old.”
She went on to tell fans, “If you have severe stomach issues, don’t wait 12 hours to go to the hospital like I did.” Leslie ended her message by wishing fans a happy new year and stating that she was “very excited” to go home to her dog.
Leslie turned 65 on December 28, 2023. Two days later, she took to Instagram to thank fans for their “amazing birthday messages.” She continued: “I am so appreciative and grateful for everyone that supports me on a daily basis. This has been an amazing year for me and I count my blessings daily … 🙏❤️🙏 Happy 2024!”
Leslie was one of the 22 women looking to win Gerry Turner’s heart on the debut season of The Golden Bachelor. She developed a strong connection with Gerry, 72, securing a spot in the final two women along with Theresa Nist.

While Leslie was considered by many to be the frontrunner of the season, she and fans were blindsided when Gerry broke up with her during the show’s November 2023 season finale. “I just want to tell you, Gerry, that I fell in love with you for so many reasons. I really did,” she told him during their After the Final Rose special reunion. “I mean, the way you looked at me and your eyes sparkled, the way her nose prickled when you talked to me, the way we made each other laugh all the time. You got my stupid humor. I was myself with you completely.”
The Golden Bachelor’s debut season has brought out every emotion in Bachelor Nation — including relief that Gerry Turner will find love. Fans watched leading man Gerry begin his journey to find love after loss when the show premiered in September 2023. He kicked things off by opening up about his 43-year marriage to his late […]
Leslie claimed that Gerry gave her “100 percent certainty” that she would be the winner during their offscreen fantasy suite conversation. “You made it sound like you chose me,” she tearfully stated. “You led me down a path and then you took a turn and left me there.”
Gerry proceeded to apologize profusely, telling her it was not his intention to “hurt anyone.” Though Leslie said she was unsure of whether she’d accept his apology, she told Gerry that she “understand[s] it.”
ABC/John Fleenor
Gerry ended the season engaged to Theresa, 70, and the two will tie the knot on ABC’s The Golden Wedding special on Thursday, January 4. While many Golden Bachelor contestants are expected to attend — with Susan Nolesset to officiate —it is unknown whether Leslie will watch her ex walk down the aisle, especially given her current medical condition.

“If it was up to us, we would invite everyone,” Theresa told Us Weekly last month of the guest list. “We’re not in charge of that process. We seriously love every single one of these women, but it’s out of our hands, so [I] don’t know. We actually don’t know the list.”
She added that she is looking forward to “walking down that aisle to Gerry and then saying our vows in front of our entire families.” Gerry, for his part, said he can’t wait to see his soon-to-be-wife in her wedding dress. “It’ll be pretty spectacular,” he added. “It’ll be special.”
“This year I went thru [sic] a lot no one knew about,” Hewitt, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, December 31, alongside a selfie. “And was grateful for that privacy. I had the greatest time being a mommy at home with my kids.”
Hewitt, who shares her three children with husband Brian Hallisay, shared she learned “to be a better baker,” and that “it’s OK to take time for myself mentally, physically and emotionally.” She added that she “did a lot of praying and manifesting” as well as “belly laughed more than ever” and had “the longest cold” of her life.
“Was forced to have more faith than normal,” she continued. “Learned to love working out as a gain for my mental health. Took chances on myself and my bigger dreams. Sat deeper in grief and was able to let more go. Felt my mom around us and saw signs that she was.” (Hewitt’s mother, Patricia, died from cancer in 2012.)
Hewitt added that she “said goodbye to things that don’t serve positivity in my life” and “made room for lots of good things in 2024.”
A private parent! While Jennifer Love Hewitt doesn’t show her and Brian Hallisay’s kids on social media, the actress has given rare glimpses into her life as a mom over the years. The 9-1-1 star wed her Client List costar in November 2013, the same month that their daughter, Autumn, arrived. The couple’s son Atticus […]
“Celebrated 10 years with my guy,” she wrote. “Got some tattoos. And truly let whatever I needed to learn teach me. And so here I am. Happy, blessed, grateful and filled with hope. I will be praying our world gets better this year and everyone sees less pain, fear and heartbreak. Love to all and Happy New Year!”
The 9-1-1 star made headlines this year for her candidness about aging in the public eye. After sharing a selfie to Instagram in September, Hewitt was deemed “unrecognizable” by fans.
“I was getting my hair done and I had not a stitch of makeup on, so I threw on a filter. I really gave it no thought,” she recalled during an episode of the “Inside of You With Michael Rosenbaum” podcast earlier this month, adding that some people accused her of using social media filters because she didn’t want her followers to “know how bad she actually looks now in her 40s.”
Jennifer Love Hewitt became a household name in the ’90s, starring in dozens of TV shows and movies beginning in 1989. It’s no surprise that she quickly found love after landing in the spotlight. Through the years, she was part of many A-list romances, dating Carson Daly, Rich Cronin and John Mayer among others. The […]
“This is crazy,” she said, adding that the judgment intensified after she purposely tried to jokingly pose using “over-the-top filters.”
“Then they came after me for that,” she shared. “They were like, ‘Well, now she’s just defending herself,’ and, ‘Why is she defending?’ I realized I can do no right.”

The Criminal Minds actress said the incident made her realize fans “have this moment when they fall in love with you” and “that’s who they want you to always be.”
“And there’s something really beautiful about that, but there’s also something really not OK about that,” Hewitt said, adding, “Aging in Hollywood is really hard because you can’t do anything right.”
For someone like Brandi Rhodes, staying healthy is an absolute must.
The former pro wrestler, 40, took Us Weekly exclusively through a day in her life as a wife, mother and entrepreneur.
Rhodes opened up her studio, Naked Mind Yoga + Pilates, earlier this year. When crafting the layout of her business, she kept her priorities as a parent in mind, making sure 2-year-old daughter Liberty, whom she shares with husband Cody Rhodes, always has a place to play.
“She hangs out in the Zen Kids Zone while I get to work,” Brandi explains to Us, adding, “Naked Mind provides childcare for clients and staff so everyone feels comfortable taking care of themselves.”
With Liberty taken care of, Brandi starts her days by teaching a Beginner Reformer class, a favorite among novices and experts. “I love teaching this class because when someone ‘gets it,’ you can see it all over their face,” she says. “It always keeps people coming back striving to learn more.”
Next, it’s a light lunch and a focus on her own well-being. After some time on the reformer, she gains a change in perspective by practicing her headstand alongside the other yoga teachers. “After marketing the studio and nursing clients, it’s nice to turn my mind inward and nourish myself as well,” she tells Us.
Brandi made a name for herself as a television anchor and figure skater before beginning her career in the WWE. She worked as a ring announcer under the name of Eden Stiles until both she and Cody, 38, left the pro wrestling league in 2016. She later starred on the E! reality series WAGS Atlantabefore giving birth to Liberty in 2021.
Now, she’s busy with her studio in Roswell, Georgia, but being a mom to her little one remains her “favorite” part of the day. The mommy-daughter duo’s nightly routine includes a bath and reading bedtime stories.

“I was alone, sitting by a pool and waiting for somebody to come have a meeting with me. And I saw this woman and her husband had a glass of champagne. It looked really nice, and I was like, ‘I can do that, too,’” she shared. “And the next day, I had two glasses. And the day after that, it was bottles.”
“A one-size-fits-all solution does not work for everybody,” Lovato told Glamour magazine about the choice to not remove marijuana from their life. “Any path that is right for someone else does not mean that it is an effective, meaningful, safe path for you. … What I’m encouraging people to do is just make choices for themselves. Autonomy, for me, is what changed my life.”

Scroll down for all the stars who bravely got sober in private, then shared the inspiring news with fans by coming clean on getting clean:
Kyle Richards is in the best shape of her life. “I think back to when I was in my 20s and 30s, and I look better than I did then, and that’s after having four kids,” says the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star. “It’s definitely never too late.” Richards, 54, has made fitness a priority as she continues to navigate her separation from her husband of 27 years, Mauricio Umansky. (They are parents to daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15; Richards also shares Farrah, 35, with ex Guraish Aldjufrie.) “When I was younger, I used to work out to lose weight,” says the former actress. “Now it’s for me — first and foremost, my mental health. The fact that it makes me look good is just a bonus.” Richards opens more about staying fit and what the future holds in Us Weekly‘s cover story.
You look fantastic. What inspired you to transform your body? I had a breast reduction [in 2022], and I wasn’t able to work out for eight weeks. At the time, I was on vacation in Europe, eating pasta and drinking wine and cocktails. By the end of the trip, I didn’t recognize myself. I had also just lost my best friend to suicide, and I wasn’t taking care of myself. And [it was] making me feel more depressed. So after we left, I said, “That’s it. I’m not going to have bad carbs — no sugar, no pasta, no bread, no alcohol. And I’m going to work out every single day.”
Did you notice a big difference? I started seeing results pretty fast. Even though I wasn’t a big drinker, removing alcohol made such a difference in my skin and how I felt.
What do you do for exercise? I’ve always worked out, but I was doing the same thing on repeat — I’d go on hikes and spin. I started including weights, hot yoga [and] running, especially when going through a hard time. It really clears my head.
Your abs are amazing! I wanted to get a tummy tuck when I had my breast reduction, and the doctor wouldn’t do it; he said we’ll talk about it [later]. I started doing a Peloton 10-minute abs thing, then 15 minutes every day.
Some people have called your new look your “revenge body.” Do you agree with that? It’s certainly not meant to be a revenge body. It’s meant to be an I-feel-good body.
“I’m very determined in what I want from my life and what my personal goals are,” says Richards in Us Weekly’s cover story.Us Weekly
You’ve been open about overcoming body struggles. Are you proud of getting to such a healthy place? As someone who [had] body image issues their whole life, it’s kind of funny that I’d be on the cover of [a diet and fitness] issue [of the magazine]. Growing up with my sisters, they were both blond and skinny, which [was] very much the look. I was brunette and curvy, and I was always trying to be thin. I started working out when I was 15, but I’ve learned to switch things up and what my body needs.
What do you do when you’re not motivated? I make the commitment every day. If I have to take a 5 A.M. flight, fine, I have to skip my workout at my house, but I can always do abs in my hotel room.
What do you eat during a typical day? Breakfast is either a protein shake with a banana or oatmeal with berries. For a snack, I like apples and peanut butter or string cheese. I eat raw nuts when I want something crunchy or a healthy popcorn. Lunch is chicken or grilled fish on salad. At night, I eat a lot of salmon, halibut, chicken paillard with arugula and lemon. I like eating at home so I know what’s going into my food.
Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky were married for more than two decades before they shocked fans with their separation in 2023. Richards was previously married to Guraish Aldjufrie, with whom she shares daughter Farrah, from 1988 to 1992. She met Umansky in 1994, and the couple exchanged vows two years later. Richards was four months […]
Would you say your diet is just as important as exercise? You have to be committed to both. If I don’t eat well, it affects my mood.
What’s your ultimate body goal? I don’t want to lose any more weight. I’m five-foot-two, and the heaviest I ever was was 132 [pounds], which I believe was after my trip to Europe. Now it’s settled at 117. [But] I need to change up my workouts because my body has become accustomed. I have this trainer — CoryG Fitness on Instagram — and he’ll email me a routine. You have to keep changing it constantly, otherwise the progress will halt.
Do you have a favorite body part? My stomach surprises me. When I’m lying down, I can see I have a six-pack. When I stand up, I have loose skin from having babies, so I won’t be posing standing up. [Laughs] My legs are also really strong. I’ve been spinning for years.
“I alternate between arms and legs and do abs every day,” Richards says of her workout routine.Courtesy of Kyle Richards/Instagram
What’s your advice for people looking to make lifestyle changes? It’s about surrounding yourself with people who will support you. My friends happen to be like me. We want to take care of our bodies and enjoy hiking and then grabbing coffee.
Are you still not drinking? I haven’t had one drop of alcohol since July 15, 2022. I don’t miss it. After two glasses of wine, I’d wake up and feel [like I was] dragging. Like, “I’m going to skip my workout today. I’m tired, and I feel like having In-N-Out.” It was a domino effect. I was never a big drinker, so you’d think, how much of a difference could it make? But it really does.
Do you think you’ll continue to abstain from alcohol? I don’t see myself drinking again. I love the way I feel and look.
Has everyone been supportive of your decision to stop drinking? When you choose to stop drinking on your own, it’s interesting how it’s met with such resistance from your peers. In the beginning, I was like, I’m just going to pretend [I’m drinking]. I would whisper to the waiter, “I’m going to order a vodka soda, and then just bring me a club soda.” But then a couple of my friends were like, “What are you doing? You drink margaritas.” It just got to the point where I was like, “Why am I having to pretend at my age?” I think about my daughters and peer pressure, and here I am, feeling like I don’t want to be pressured into this. So I stopped pretending. I was just like, “Guys, I promise you, I am still going to be fun.”
On RHOBH, some cast members talked about you going to the gym on vacation and hinted you’ve replaced alcohol with exercise… I don’t understand why doing something good for you is looked down upon. I was up at five o’clock, why wouldn’t I do something that makes me feel good and gives me energy? Maybe it’s a reflection of something they don’t like about themselves.
What does self-care mean to you? Today [was] a self-care day. I worked out, took Portia to school and now I need to go to HomeGoods and buy ridiculous things I don’t need. That makes me feel good! And then I’ll go to bed early with a good book.

Have you been watching this season of RHOBH? Yes. Sometimes it gives me anxiety, and sometimes it’s OK. It was difficult shooting the season because I was going through stuff in my marriage, but our daughters didn’t know, and I didn’t feel like sharing it on camera quite yet. But I was honest with the [cast]. When they started grilling me, I was like, “Why are you acting like I haven’t been honest? I told you it’s the worst year we’ve ever had.” Did they want me to take them inside my bedroom? I don’t know what they wanted me to do. I felt like people I considered my friends hurt me.
Was there anything specific you were nervous for viewers to see? [Things] about my marriage. I didn’t know how to navigate it off-camera, let alone on-camera.
What’s your message to fans? People were upset when they heard [Mauricio and I] were having problems. I felt like we let people down. [Starts crying] Some were saying [our marriage] was a farce the whole time. But there were also sweet and supportive messages. I didn’t know so many people cared, but they’ve been in my home for 13 years watching us.
Do you feel closer to a place of happiness now? In a lot of ways, I feel happy, but I’m also still struggling because it’s all new to me. I’ve been married my whole life.
What’s your relationship with Mauricio currently? We still live in the same house and we spent [the holidays] together. I have no idea how long we’ll be like that, but we are trying to be as normal as possible in a very un-normal situation.
Is there still love there? We love each other. We go to therapy. We both want to see each other happy. I don’t know what the future looks like. That’s the hardest part because the unknown is scary.
“I was like, ‘OK, this is what I’m going to do to take charge of feeling good mentally and physically,’” Richards says of setting a wellness plan.Courtesy of Kyle Richards/Instagram
You recently ran a 10K with your friend [singer] Morgan Wade. Do you motivate each other? All my friends do. I’ve been shooting a documentary on the road with Morgan, so we’ll go to the gym together.
What’s happening with the doc? I’ll probably be shooting that for [a few] more months. It started out as a documentary and then kind of turned into something else… I better stop.
Are you and Morgan sick of all the dating rumors? I don’t even think about it anymore. It doesn’t faze me.
Do you regret putting your friendship with her on the show? In the beginning I did because even though she’s an artist and a musician, she’s not someone who wants this attention. I felt bad about that.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards’ close friendship with Morgan Wade has raised eyebrows amid her ongoing separation from husband Mauricio Umanksy. Richards and Umansky opened up about experiencing “a rough year” in their marriage via a joint Instagram statement in July 2023. The pair also seemingly addressed fan speculation regarding the nature […]
How did Mauricio respond to the RHOBH scene where you tattoo your initial on Morgan’s arm? He likes Morgan a lot. We’ve gone to her shows [as a] family. What they didn’t show [in that scene] was me saying, “I’m going to do a tattoo on you,” and her saying, “You can, I don’t care.” I was drawing flowers, a pumpkin, but I can’t draw to save my life, so that’s why I ended up just doing a K.
You wrote a memoir in 2011. Would you ever write another book? I’d write one about mental health and anxiety. I think I had my first panic attack when I was 12, and it got so bad during different times in my life that it was debilitating. I took Prozac, I took Lexapro, and oddly enough, I don’t take anything now even though I’m going through such a hard time. I used humor [and had other] ways of dealing with it because nobody wanted to talk about it. But when I lost my best friend, I thought, “OK, this is a mental health issue I would like to address because of what happened to her and how it affected me.”

What did 2023 teach you? That I can handle a lot more than I ever imagined and am stronger than I realized.
What are you looking to leave behind as we go into the new year? Negativity and any stress and pain I’ve been holding on to. I want things to be a little more quiet and I want to go into 2024 happy and at peace.
Christina Hall got stitches after slicing her hand open during a night out with her friends.
“Fun night,” the HGTV star, 40, captioned a photo via her Instagram Stories on Friday, December 15, that showed her dinner companions, which included her husband, Joshua Hall, and four other friends.
“Until I knocked over a martini glass and had to get stitches. Just in time for the holidays,” she added, showing a photo of her hand with bandages wrapped around her palm.
Despite the injury, the Christina in the Country star focused on the fabulous evening she spent with her inner circle at the trendy Newport Beach eatery Set Steak and Sushi. A separate photo showed the group holding Champagne glasses and Christina cozied up to Josh, 43, at the table.

The couple wed in April 2022, less than one year after they started dating. Before that, Christina was married to Ant Anstead from 2018 to 2022, and they share son Hudson, 4. Her first marriage was to former Flip or Flop costar Tarek El Moussa, with whom she shares two kids: daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 8.
Going her own way. Christina Hall has been in the spotlight for nearly a decade — and the attention hasn’t always been easy to navigate. The HGTV star was married to Tarek El Moussa from 2009 to 2018, and the former couple share daughter Taylor and son Brayden. After calling it quits, the coparents continued […]
Since moving on with Josh, Christina is happier than ever and has learned a lot about herself throughout her ups and downs.
“Things that I put up with in my 20s are things I’d never put up with in my 40s,” the Christina on the Coast star exclusively told Us Weekly in a July issue. “In my relationship right now, we’re able to communicate, not get emotionally overwhelmed and speak nicely to each other. Some things come with maturity. It definitely helps.”
Christina gushed that she’s a lot “calmer” around Joshua, pointing to his “protective” nature. She also appreciates how her partner has stepped up to help with her three children.

“Josh has taken on stepdad duties with love and integrity and that’s big for me,” the house flipper said about the pair being a “tag team” to tackle daily tasks. “If one of us has something going on, the other is like, ‘Yeah, no problem, I got this.’”
Christina has shared custody with exes Tarek, 42, and Ant, 44, and she uses the time without her children to work on her marriage, explaining, “When we don’t have the kids, we have time to ourselves and that’s something that keeps our relationship strong.”
Holly Madisonrecently learned that she is on the autism spectrum.
“I’ve been suspicious of it for a while because my mom told me that she was always suspicious that that was a thing,” Madison, 43, revealed during the Friday, December 8, episode of the “Talking to Death” podcast, noting that she frequently zoned out as a kid and “had trouble” with recognizing social cues.
The Girls Next Door alum added, “I just made excuses for it. I thought it was because I grew up in Alaska, and then around middle school, moved to Oregon and I thought, ‘Well that was just a big social change.’ So I’m just very introverted. Like, that’s kind of always how I wrote it off.”
Words of wisdom. Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Jenny McCarthy and other celebrities haven’t shied away from speaking about the ups and downs of raising their autistic children. The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star revealed her and Roger Mathews’ son Greyson’s diagnosis in November 2018, which “caused a lot of tension” in her relationship with her now-ex-husband. […]
“The doctors told me that I have high-executive functioning, which pretty much means that I can go about my life and do things ‘normally,’” she added on Friday. “I think because I’m more quiet, I’ve only recently learned to make eye contact [and] I’m often off in my own thoughts, so people take that as offensive. … I’m just not on the same social wavelength as other people, but don’t take it personally.”
Madison also struggles to know when people are done speaking, leading her to unintentionally interrupt them. “That tends to piss people off,” she said. “I’m learning [to improve].”

The former Playboy model has noticed that “throughout [her] life,” many individuals have disliked her after she “rubbed [them] the wrong way” over her behaviors. “They think I’m, like, stuck up or snobby or think I’m better than everybody else,” she explained. “I also don’t really have a gauge for when other people are done speaking, so I tend to interrupt a lot, which pisses people off.”
Come on back to the early 2000s! It’s been nearly 10 years since The Girls Next Door aired on E! — making it the perfect time to revisit the fun-filled show. The Girls Next Door ran for six seasons from 2005 to 2009. Created by Kevin Burns, the reality series gave an inside look at […]
Madison recalled that she was “never making eye contact” around others before, which is something she’s since had to work on.
“I can apologize to people if I interrupt or talk over them and tell them why,” she noted, adding that she wants to make sure individuals understand her diagnosis. “I have a little bit more patience now, and I don’t take things as personally.”

Madison concluded her podcast appearance with some simple advice about dealing with someone neurodivergent.
“Everyone operates differently and maybe I think interacting with anybody, just have a little bit of patience because you don’t know what they’re dealing with or what their level of social function is, you know?” she said.
2 Chainzwas involved in a car accident, resulting in an ambulance rushing him to the hospital.
The rapper, 46, confirmed the incident via Instagram Story early on Saturday, December 9, sharing footage of the wreckage.
In the clip, 2 Chainz (real name Tauheed K. Epps) sat in an ambulance as a paramedic prepared to shut the door to transport him to an emergency room. In the background, a black sedan had collided with a barricade on the road’s shoulder. The entire front of the car was smashed.
A spokesperson for the Florida Highway Patrol confirmed to TMZ on Saturday that a crash involving three vehicles occurred in Miami. The outlet reported that 2 Chainz’s car was struck by another vehicle, and the musician allegedly suffered neck injuries. Per TMZ, he is now in stable condition.
2 Chainz has been in Miami for the annual Art Basel festival, stepping out at a party on Friday, December 8. Several hours later, he went to get dinner in South Beach at Marketplace 119.
“I had to come,” 2 Chainz said in a Friday Instagram Story video. “I can just pick out something fresh and you make it right here? You know I like that here. … I want [that] seafood. I don’t eat no beef or no pork. I like seafood.”

2 Chainz rose to fame as a member of the hip hop duo Playaz Circle alongside Earl “Dolla Boy” Conyers, getting signed to Ludacris’ record label in the early 2000s. He later received a solo recording contract with Def Jam in 2012 and has earned six Grammy nominations for his music. He also owns several restaurants and nail salons.
“My daddy sold bricks and he sold weed. My mama’s mama, she was a bootleg lady. My mama was into real estate when I was young,” he told XXL magazine in March 2022 of his entrepreneurship. “Daddy never had a job. I never remember him getting up early. I never remember him complaining about being in traffic from coming home late from work. I don’t remember none of that. I remember Cadillacs and I remember my uncle having plenty of jewelry.”
Take a look back at Reese Witherspoon, David Beckham, Halle Berry and other stars who have had minor injuries that have made headlines
He added at the time: “I had an uncle who owned a liquor store. He employed all of my uncles. A lot of that stuff was just stuff that I was subconsciously peeping out. Like, how to do it by yourself. I’m a hustler as well. So, I know that just rap money wasn’t gon’ do it for me. I had to try to find multiple streams of income. Just try to diversify my portfolio.”
2 Chainz has been married to Kesha Ward since 2018 after he proposed at the Met Gala that May. 2 Chainz and Ward, who have been together since 2006, share three kids: Heaven, Harmony and Halo.
Julianne, 35, took to Instagram on Thursday, December 7, to share her brother Derek Hough’s post about Erbert’s recent emergency surgery.
“Please pray and send all your love, healing and light to Hayley and Derek 🙏,” Julianne captioned the Story. “Thank you from the depths of our families hearts! ❤️.”
Derek, 38 — who wed Erbert, 29, in August — shared the original post earlier on Thursday.
“At the end of last night’s tour performance in Washington, D.C., my wife Hayley became disoriented and was taken to the hospital,” he wrote. “She was diagnosed with a cranial hematoma from a burst blood vessel and required an emergency craniectomy.”
Derek Hough and Hayley Erbert captivated audiences with their chemistry well before they started dating. The former Dancing With the Stars pro first connected with Erbert after she was cast as one of the dancers in his and sister Julianne Hough’s Move Live Tour in 2014. By July 2015, they were a couple. Derek played […]

Derek added that Erbert is in “stable condition” and thanked the first responders and medical professionals who have provided care for his wife. “I ask for your prayers and positivity during this time,” he concluded.
Several members of Derek and Erbert’s Dancing With the Stars family shared messages of support in the comments section.
“Sending you all the love I have in my soul. Prayers for a speedy recovery,” Julianne’s DWTS cohost Alfonso Ribeiro wrote.
DWTS pro Alan Bersten chimed in: “Praying and sending positivity 🙏🏼.”
Sasha Farber, for his part, sent a series of heart and prayer hand emojis.
Mirrorball champs or not, Dancing With the Stars has featured some impeccable professional dancers in the years since the ABC competition series premiered in 2005. Derek Hough, Cheryl Burke and Maksim Chmerkovskiy are among the talent who have lit up the ballroom. Some of the show’s stars went on to achieve major success in their careers while […]
Erbert’s health scare came after she and Derek took the stage together at the D.C. stop of his Symphony of Dance tour on Wednesday, December 6. Meghan Trainor was in the audience and praised Erbert’s performance while commenting on Derek’s post.
“The show was absolutely amazing … Hayley was fabulous … I am so sorry this happened,” Trainor, 29, wrote. “We were sad to not see her at the end of the show. I had a feeling something happened … Many prayers and sending love 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️.”
One year prior to Erbert’s health scare, the So You Think You Can Dance alum revealed that she and Derek got into a car accident while driving on icy roads together.
“Given the circumstances, we have so much to be grateful for,” Erbert wrote of the crash via Instagram in December 2022. “I only walked away a little banged up, a swollen face, and four stitches above my eyebrow. Now, more than ever, we realize how fragile life is and how important it is to love those around you.”
In an Instagram comment, Derek noted that Erbert didn’t “remember anything” from the accident.
“She was dazed afterwards, being cheerful saying we should keep going to dinner as blood ran down her face. That really scared me,” he wrote. “She came to 20 minutes later when the firemen arrived.”

Derek and Erbert started dating in 2015, one year after they met on Derek’s Move Live Tour. The duo confirmed their engagement via a joint Instagram post in June 2022.
“It’s only the beginning … the beginning of forever ❤️,” the caption read.
Tarek El Moussa is opening up about his struggles with alcoholism as a young adult.
“I will never forget this day … or this kid. I was 20 years old fishing for King salmon in Alaska,” the HGTV personality, 42, wrote via Instagram on Monday, December 4, alongside a photo of his younger self. “Unfortunately, all I remember was the terrible hangover I had. I had drank over 30 shots of vodka and whatever else I could get my hands on. I can still feel the throbbing in my head and the pulsing vein on my temple.”
El Moussa confessed that in his younger years, he was “used to” feeling those aches and pains due to his consistent heavy drinking.
“Most people don’t know this about me, but at 19 my life went downhill in what felt like overnight. I gained 50 pounds, lost my confidence, lost my hope, and became a raging alcoholic,” he continued. “All my drive was gone. It’s crazy to think today I sometimes wake up at 3 am to start work, when at 20, I would wake up at 3 pm to start my day.”
Several of Hollywood’s biggest stars have been candid about their sobriety journeys over the years. Kelly Osbourne, who previously talked about being sober for six years, revealed in April 2021 that she had suffered a relapse and was working on next steps. “Not proud of it. But I am back on track,” she wrote via […]
While El Moussa didn’t share what exactly prompted him to turn his life around, he noted that everyone deserves a “second chance.” He told his followers that if they were in a similar situation that he once faced, his upcoming book, Flip Your Life, could be helpful.
“If you are looking for the help I desperately needed at that time, check out my new book Flip Your Life,” he penned. “I wrote it thinking about 20-year-old Tarek and what could have helped him❤️.”
El Moussa noted that his book is available to preorder and will be released in February 2024.
The reality star revealed earlier this year that he had been working on writing his story for nearly a decade and had accomplished his goal.
“I’ve been working on this book for 7 years now, and I can’t wait for you to read my personal journey on how I found success, and how I got to where I am today,” he shared via Instagram in September alongside a video slideshow of different moments in his life. “Within that journey, you will learn about many bumps in [the] road including cancers, divorce, business struggles, addiction, and more. This book has been a long time coming, and I’m so proud to share my personal story with you!”
El Moussa has faced a series of life changes and health battles over the years. In 2013, he was diagnosed with thyroid cancer. Shortly after his initial diagnosis, he learned he also had testicular cancer. After entering remission in 2019, El Moussa sustained a back injury that led to him to develop an addiction to steroids.
Talk about a roller-coaster! Christina Hall (née Haack) and Tarek El Moussa‘s ups and downs started well before they called it quits in 2016. The reality stars tied the knot in May 2009, four years before their HGTV series catapulted them into the spotlight. Things took a turn when El Moussa was diagnosed with two […]
“After the cancers, I had that terrible accident on my back and I lost like 60 pounds, and I was on all those opiates. I was not doing well,” El Moussa recalled to Fox News Digital in February. “This is what people don’t understand — you know, from 2013 to 2016, it was hell.”

In addition to battling addiction, El Moussa and ex-wife Christina Hall decided to divorce after seven years of marriage. The exes, who split in 2016, share two children: daughter Taylor, 12, and son Brayden, 7. Following their split, Tarek moved on with wife Heather Rae El Moussa whom he wed in October 2021. The couple welcomed their first son, Tristan, in January.
Guerdy Abraira is not happy with Larsa Pippen after she told their Real Housewives of Miami castmates about her breast cancer diagnosis.
“It’s just the sloppiness of it being said in front of people I don’t even know,” Guerdy, 45, told Page Six on Tuesday, November 28. “It’s actually disturbing.”
Guerdy noted she was particularly upset that Larsa, 49, spoke about her health news with two women who aren’t Guerdy’s friends while prepping for a party with other people in the room. “To say my personal health news? You’ve got people bartending, waiters [around],” Guerdy said, adding that she was shocked by Larsa’s “nonchalant” attitude.
Guerdy shared her breast cancer diagnosis with Larsa during the November 15 episode of RHOM and asked her not to tell anyone because she hadn’t yet decided when she would share the news with some of their costars. At the time, Guerdy had already told Julia Lemigova, Adriana de Moura and Nicole Martin.
As RHOM producers helpfully told viewers, Larsa broke her promise just six hours after lunch with Guerdy, telling two of her friends about the diagnosis before breaking the news to costars Lisa Hochstein, Marysol Patton, Kiki Barth and Alexia Nepola.
When Guerdy and Larsa saw each other again during the Wednesday, November 29, episode of RHOM, Guerdy expressed her anger at Larsa by being short with her, but Larsa didn’t seem to think she’d done anything wrong. Nicole, meanwhile, revealed that Larsa called her to ask whether Guerdy really has cancer, so it seems certain that a bigger clash is coming.
Guerdy publicly announced her cancer diagnosis in May, revealing that she received her diagnosis two months prior. “I will ‘guerdyfy’ this cancer as I guerdyfy everything else in my life,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “I am lucky that this breast cancer was discovered at an early stage — it is still scary of course, but I have love and support from those around me and that alone is the fuel that I need. For those who do not get health checks regularly, I urge you to. Your life depends on it.”
Many celebrities have spoken out about their personal battles with breast cancer over the years. Julia Louis-Dreyfus went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in September 2017 via Instagram. Nearly one year later, she had successfully beaten the illness and returned to work on Veep. “It sounds kind of corny, but there’s something about after […]
Guerdy completed her last round of chemotherapy in September. At BravoCon two months later, she told the crowd that she’s officially cancer-free. “I’m very excited and I’m so blessed and I literally wake up every morning counting my blessings and making it count,” she said. “Remember that. Make it count!”

In October, Guerdy told Us that she felt a major “release” after finishing her chemotherapy. “I just felt so free,” she said. “It felt so freeing to be me again and a new version of myself. So, now, it’s kind of like, I take no BS from no one, no more. No BS from no one, no more. That should be my new tagline: ‘I take no BS from nobody.’”
The Real Housewives of Miami airs on Bravo Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET.
Though Ozzy Osbournehas retired from touring due to his ongoing health struggles, the heavy metal icon isn’t ready to relinquish his dream of returning to the stage.
“I’m taking it one day at a time, and if I can perform again, I will,” Osbourne, 74, told Rolling Stone UK for the magazine’s December/January 2024 cover story. The Prince of Darkness retired in February, citing a “major accident” where he damaged his spine, and he told the publication that the months after have “been like saying farewell to the best relationship of my life.”
He continued, “At the start of my illness, when I stopped touring, I was really pissed off with myself, the doctors, and the world. But as time has gone on, I’ve just gone, ‘Well, maybe I’ve just got to accept that fact.’”
Osbourne underwent surgery on his spine in September and hoped to tour again. The “Bark at the Moon” singer told Rolling Stone UK that if he can’t tour, he would still want one final performance where he could give back some love to the fans who have supported him.
A heavy metal icon. Ozzy Osbourne has sold over 100 million records worldwide between his solo career and his days as a member of Black Sabbath. The England native got his start in 1967 when he joined bassist Geezer Butler’s first band, Rare Breed, as a vocalist. Although the group didn’t last long, the duo […]
“For whatever reason, that’s my goal to work to. To do those shows. If it’s at Ozzfest or somewhere, or even a f—ing gig at the Roundhouse,” said Osbourne. “If I can’t continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, ‘Hi guys, thanks so much for my life.’ That’s what I’m working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I’ll die a happy man.”
In his February retirement announcement, Osbourne cited that his singing voice is “fine,” but after “three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently groundbreaking Cybernetics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak. … Believe me when I say that the thought of disappointing my fans really F—KS ME UP, more than you will ever know.”
“Never would I have imagined my touring days would end like this,” he added. Seven months later, he gave an update that he’s doing another album — a follow-up to 2022’s Patient Number 9 — and would still want to “go back on the road.”

Osbourne has been struggling with his health since suffering a fall in 2019. The accident dislodged metal rods that had been inserted into his back after a 2003 quad bike crash (the same year that Osbourne was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a battle he largely kept private until 2020.)

After the 2019 fall, he underwent corrective surgery but it went “drastically wrong” he told Rolling Stone UK. “Virtually left me crippled. I thought I’d be up and running after the second and third, but with the last one, they put a f—king rod in my spine. They found a tumor in one of the vertebrae, so they had to dig all that out too. It’s pretty rough, man, and my balance is all f—ked up.”
Despite these setbacks, the metal icon is still staying positive as he works to get back on stage. “I do count my lucky stars,” he says. “I don’t know why I’m still here, and I do sometimes think I’m on borrowed time.”

Linda Evangelista is opening up about the cosmetic procedure incident that she said left her “permanently deformed” and “brutally disfigured.”
“How people feel about me still bothers me a little bit, but it used to bother me a lot,” Evangelista, 58, said to The Sunday Times in an interview published on Sunday, November 26. “I know now that I didn’t do anything wrong. For the longest time I thought I did.”
She continued: “I’m not completely rid of it, but I work hard at getting rid of the guilt and the shame. And I’m not letting it ruin my life. I wouldn’t have stayed locked up if I’d known how many people cared.”
The model revealed via Instagram in September 2021 that she underwent the CoolSculpting procedure designed to “decrease” her fat cells. Instead, the cosmetic procedure allegedly “increased” them and left her “permanently deformed” even after two “unsuccessful corrective surgeries.”
Evangelista, who reached supermodel stardom alongside Cindy Crawford and Christy Turlington, also said on Sunday that she doesn’t look in the mirror.
“My son will say to me sometimes, ‘You might want to know that you have a pimple on your chin.’ And I’m like, ‘What?’ But life is better without mirrors,” she said.
