Chrissy Metz gives us an inside look at her “Halloween-themed” purse from Proenza Schouler — and you might be surprised at some of the items she keeps tucked away.
“It’s sturdy, folks. It’s real sturdy in case you needed to know,” Metz, 43, exclusively tells Us Weekly, while promoting her new children’s album Prayed For This Day. The This Is Us alum also reveals that she often carries multiple small bags inside of her bigger bag when she travels: “Do people do this? So, there’s a bag within a bag, within a purse, within a bag.”

And I’ve been told that when we travel and we’re on a plane, that it’s important to have something from the earth to sort of ground us. So wherever I’m traveling to, I also like to put my feet on the ground once I get there. Who knows? It works for me.”

The actor, 41, took to social media on Friday, October 27, to address rumors that Slater, 34, is dating her season 32 partner, Mauricio Umansky, amid his separation from wife Kyle Richards.
“Many don’t understand the intense pressures of #DWTS,” Donovan wrote via X (formerly known as Twitter) while reflecting back on his time on the show. “The exhaustive nature of the rehearsals, and the stress of the show night performance. Forming a deep bond and friendship with your partner is natural under such circumstances.”
Donovan — who also made headlines for his chemistry with Slater during their partnership — noted that he grew “very close” to the Australia native during his time on the ABC competition series and that the two are still “very close” today. “I guess some will always see drama where there’s none,” he said.
Many Dancing With the Stars contestants have such a palpable connection on the dance floor that fans start to speculate whether those bonds extend to real life. “We really do get on and have great chemistry, which made this dance so much easier,” Emma Slater told Us Weekly in September 2022 after DWTS host Alfonso […]
Romance rumors between Slater and Umansky, 53, began to swirl earlier this month after they were spotted holding hands in Beverly Hills. The duo addressed the speculation days later, insisting they are nothing more than “really good friends.”
“For full clarity we are not dating,” Umansky shared in an Instagram Story video on Thursday, October 26. “We’ve been dancing together now for six weeks, four hours a day every single day.” The real estate mogul explained that he and Slater went “to a restaurant to go get some sushi right after rehearsal” after a “very intense” and emotional week.
“We were talking about the week during the dinner and when we came out of dinner we were recapping, and I reached out to grab Emma’s hand,” he said. “She grabbed my hand and then we walked to the cars, just recapping.”

Slater — who filed for divorce from estranged husband and fellow DWTS proSasha Farber in February —then chimed in to call the show’s process “intense,” adding that a “very special bond” is formed between the celebrity and their professional dance partner, noting that she and Umansky share “similar personalities.”
Speculation the pair’s relationship is more than just professional comes amid Umansky’s separation from Richards, 54. Us Weekly confirmed in July the duo had separated after 27 years of marriage. At the time, the estranged couple shared a joint statement about their “tough year” but insisted that they had no plans to divorce. (Umansky and Richards share daughters Alexia, 27, Sophia, 23, and Portia, 15. Richards also shares daughter Farrah, 34, with first husband Guraish Aldjufrie.)
After the hand-holding photographs went viral, Richards deleted an Instagram post from September in support of Umansky and Slater’s DWTS partnership, later sharing that she was “hurt” by the images.
Real Housewives of Beverly Hills couple Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky have shared insight into their sudden split after 27 years of marriage. Us Weekly confirmed in July 2023 that the couple were taking time apart. “Kyle and Mauricio have been separated for a while, but are still currently living together,” a source revealed at […]
“I don’t know if anything’s happened yet, but obviously there’s something there,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star told host Andy Cohen during the Wednesday, October 25, episode of Watch What Happens Live. “Listen, I love him very much and we are amicable.” Richards added that she was “taken aback” by the snaps, which were “very hard” for her to see.
“That hurt my feelings. … I just don’t think you hold hands like that with somebody,” she said.
Slater isn’t a stranger to romance rumors regarding her DWTS partnerships. Her relationship with Donovan raised eyebrows during season 31 when people began to notice their chemistry on the ballroom floor.

“I gotta know — are those your acting skills or was that real?” cohost Alfonso Ribeiroasked the pair after they made waves for their sexy week 2 Rumba in September 2022, to which Donovan replied, “If you’re really doing a good job acting, it all comes from the truth so there’s something real in every performance.”

Slater later told reporters that people “expect that steam” and that partners are expected to “tell a story” with their dancing. “I honestly believe in Trevor. I believe in his dance ability,” she continued. “I know we have this great connection, this great chemistry.”
Dancing With the Stars fans can’t get enough of Emma Slater and Trevor Donovan. The season 31 partners got off to a strong start ahead of the September 19 premiere. “So far, in our week-long acquaintance, I do feel like we’ve fallen very much into a real natural way of communicating and just a genuine […]
Weeks later, Donovan praised his “familiar and light” chemistry with Slater during an October 2022 episode. “We have a very familiar and light chemistry. It’s a fun thing. It can show up as passion on the dance floor, but we’re just having fun,” he said. “We have fun every day we rehearse even when she’s about to explode because I’m doing things wrong that I used to do right. But it’s the levity and the lightness of our friendship and stuff, I think, that really translates to the dance. So we’re just 100 percent comfortable with each other.”
Blue Ivy Carter’s name has been synonymous with success since day one. As the daughter of Beyoncé and JAY-Z, the 11-year-old has navigated inherited fame like a pro. At eight years old, she was nominated for a Grammy for her contributions to Beyoncé’s “Brown Skin Girl.” More recently, Blue Ivy guest starred as a backup dancer on her mom’s “Renaissance” tour, showcasing her mastery over the complex choreography. On Oct. 27, however, JAY-Z rocked the internet when he revealed that his oldest daughter’s name — the same name fans have come to know and love — was almost completely different.
“We just took the ‘berry’ off and called her Blue.”
“It was supposed to be Brooklyn,” JAY-Z told Gayle King in a “CBS Mornings” interview. “That was the name we had in theory.” Say again? Brooklyn Carter? Though Brooklyn also starts with a B, it’s a far cry from Blue, a unique name that has allowed the preteen to go mononymous just like her mom. Of course, if the couple had opted to name their daughter Brooklyn, it likely would have been a nod to the New York borough where JAY-Z grew up.
As it stands, her actual name also has a pretty sweet meaning. “When we got the sonogram, we was calling her Blueberry. Like, ‘Look at the little blueberry,’” the dad of three said. “You know, it was like a nickname for nine months.” After referring to their firstborn as Blueberry the entirety of Beyoncé’s pregnancy, the adorable nickname stuck, and Blue Ivy was born. JAY-Z added, “It was just natural. We just took the ‘berry’ off and called her Blue.”
Prior to the revelatory interview, many fans speculated Blue Ivy’s name was derived from a quote in Rebecca Solnit’s 2005 novel, “A Field Guide to Getting Lost,” which Beyoncé shared to her Tumblr account in 2012. “The world is blue at its edges and in its depths,” the piece reads. “This blue is the light that got lost. Light at the blue end of the spectrum does not travel the whole distance from the sun to us. It disperses among the molecules of the air, it scatters in the water.”
The piece continues, “Water is colourless, shallow water appears to be the colour of whatever lies underneath it, but deep water is full of this scattered light, the purer the water the deeper the blue. The sky is blue for the same reason, but the blue at the horizon, the blue of the land that seems to be dissolving into the sky, is a deeper, dreamier, melancholy blue, the blue at the farthest reaches of the places where you see for miles, the blue of distance. This light does not touch us, does not travel the whole distance, the light that gets lost, gives us the beauty of the world, so much of which is in the colour blue.”
As for Ivy, her middle name, the moniker was reportedly inspired by Beyonce’s deep personal connection to the number four and the Roman numeral IV, which equates to four.
Brooklyn Carter. Blueberry Carter. Blue Ivy Carter. In the multiverse of celebrity baby names, the possibilities are endless. Whether she’d been born Brooklyn or not, though, one thing is clear: Blue Ivy is a star just like the rest of the Carter-Knowles family.

Cardi BandOffset’s kids have a fashion mind of their own.
Cardi, 31, and Offset, 31 — who tied the knot in 2017 — opened up about their children’s personal fashion senses while celebrating UGG’s new Uggextreme Collection at the brand’s Feel House’s HBX party last week.
“So what do you think about our babies’ style?” Cardi asked Offset in clip shared via UGG’s TikTok on Wednesday, October 25. “Because I feel like they all have different style.”
Offset first praised their daughter Kulture, 5, for her “very pretty and very princess” style. “She has a lot of dresses. She already has this attitude about herself where she already knows how to walk like a model and she takes it seriously.” He gushed, “She always wants to show me, ‘Daddy look what I put together, look at this scarf I put on …’ I feel like she can dress herself.”
Cardi then admitted that it’s “hard for me to dress boys,” while referring to their 2-year-old son, Wave, and Offset’s sons Kody and Jordan, from previous relationships. “I remember this one time I was gonna buy Wave a hat and Offset was like ‘No,’” she recalled while laughing. “Whatever. I am trying!”
The “WAP” rapper then touched on her step-daughter, Kalea, 8, who Offset shares with ex Shya L’amour. “I feel like Kalea, she’s girly too but she’s more like tomboy too,” Cardi said, explaining, “I think it’s because when the girls start reaching the age of 8 and 7, they start going more … punk rock, cool.”

Offset agreed, noting that Kody, who he shares with ex Oriel Jamie, “loves dressing like me.” He explained that the 8-year-old always asks what Offset is wearing or if they “got it in my size.”
“My son Jordan, he’s more calm, he’s more like an athlete so he likes to have basketball shorts on,” Offset said, speaking on his 13-year-old son whom he shares with ex Justine Watson.
“All the kids got different styles — literally,” Cardi quipped before the clip concluded.
Cardi B knows how to have fun with fashion. The rapper turns every red carpet into her own personal runway, blessing Us with designs that only she can wear. Cardi is known to push fashion boundaries in outfits that feature optical illusions, statuesque silhouettes and sometimes raw materials. Take the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards, […]
For the interview, Cardi stunned in the Ugg’s Classic Chillapeak boots, featuring a fuzz lining and platform heel. She teamed the shoe with a brown knit sweater vest, a collared white top, plaid pleated skirt and leather Chanel water bottle holder that she wore as a crossbody bag.

The H-Town Hottie is slithering back on the scene with new music and another sizzling teaser. On Friday, Megan announced the release date and name of her next single. Her triumphant return is almost here, dropping “Cobra: A Story By Megan Thee Stallion” on Nov. 3. This marks her first solo release since her sophomore album Traumazine in 2022.
The Grammy winner showed off the results of all her viral workout videos. Surrounded by a lush jungle, she rocked a bronze armored bikini that didn’t leave much to the imagination. Megan’s glistening flawless skin, super-snatched waist, and copious cakes left fans drooling.
Lawd, is it hot in here, or is it just Thee Stallion?
Megan Thee Stallion Is Shedding The Past Like She She Shed Her Clothes
According to the “Savage” rapper, her music won’t be the only thing that’s new. She dropped another teaser video earlier this week, revealing why she chose to embody the cold-blooded creature.
“Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past, over and over again,” she said in the cryptic clip over an ominous guitar beat.
The “Bongos” baddie simply captioned the post “Act One” with a snake emoji. The video also included shots of her with glowing white snake eyes and baring some super long fangs, ready to strike. Douglas Bernardt will direct the highly anticipated visuals.
As BOSSIP previously reported, Megan is truly shedding the past after she officially severed ties with her old label. After several years and multimillion-dollar lawsuits, she settled her legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment. Both parties “reached a confidential settlement to resolve their legal differences” and will finally “amicably part ways.”
Prior to making her freedom official in court, Megan promised fans her next chapter would be “fully independent.” After 1501 allegedly blocked her bag and new music, she’s taking her career into her own hands (or fangs). She’s one of the hottest free agents in the music game and plans to keep it that way for now.
“This part of my album is definitely very much funded by Megan Thee Stallion because we’re trying to get off… Y’all know what’s the tea. But I have no label right now. We’re doing everything funded straight out of Megan Thee Stallion’s pockets,” she said on Instagram Live.
“The budget is coming from me. Motherfucking Hot Girl Productions! The next s**t y’all about to see is all straight from Megan Thee Stallion’s brain, Megan Thee Stallion’s wallet. We in my pockets, Hotties, so let’s do our big one.”
You heard her, Hotties! If this is just a taste of Act One, the full rollout can’t come soon enough.
What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s latest teaser? Are you ready for “Cobra” to drop on Nov. 3?
“Hit the Jackpot with you,” the former Bachelorette, 30, wrote via Instagram on Friday, October 27, sharing gorgeous photos of the pair all dressed up.
In the pics, Young stunned in a black floral dress with matching pumps, which complemented her chain-link earrings and high pony. Leius, for his part, opted for a black button-down and cream-colored trousers.
Young has not shared further details about the pair’s romance. According to Leius’ LinkedIn profile, he is based in Young’s native Minnesota and works as a sales consultant for a local insurance brokerage. (Leius previously studied business and marketing at the University of Minnesota before completing a master’s degree in sports management from Minnesota State University.)
While some roses stand the test of time, others wilt before the Neil Lane engagement ring can be resized. The Bachelor premiered on ABC in March 2002 with Alex Michel dubbed the world’s most eligible Bachelor. More than 20 women competed for his heart and one of the most successful reality TV franchises was born. […]
Young’s relationship with Leius marks her first foray back into the dating scene since she and ex-fiancé Nayte Olukoya called off their engagement last year.
“To those who have supported Nayte and I, including Bachelor Nation, I know I speak for the both of us when saying having a relationship in the public eye has not been easy,” Young captioned a social media statement in June 2022. “I’m struggling to say that Nayte and I will be going our separate ways but I stand with him in knowing the heaviness that is present in both our hearts as this relationship has been very real for us.”
She added at the time: “To you, Nayte, you quickly became my best friend and the love I have for you is incredibly strong. I will never stop wanting to see you succeed. I will always acknowledge and appreciate the adventures, support and growth both Nayte and this experience have brought me.”
Bachelor Nation is slowly getting more insight into Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya’s decision to call off their engagement. After she looked for love on Matt James’ season of The Bachelor, ABC picked the teacher to lead season 18 of The Bachelorette. During the December 2021 finale, fans watched Young accept a proposal from her […]
Young has since claimed that Olukoya dumped her over the phone and that the experience “tainted” future engagements for her.

“It was my dream ring. I wanted the relationship to work. I was willing to put in work for the relationship. And I had the person take off,” she claimed during a February interview on the “Almost Famous” podcast. “That’s not something that I bluntly said [before] because Instagram and there’s all these other things on you, but, like, I know what it looks like to work through a relationship, and I know how hard relationships can get. But both people have to be capable of doing that.”
Olukoya, for his part, has not addressed any of Young’s accusations about the abrupt demise of their romance. In July 2022, he denied rumors that he cheated on Young and asserted that they both “tried” to make their relationship work to no avail.
It hasn’t been a great year for hip-hop regarding charts and sales, and Offsetisn’t surprised.
“I’m noticing that ‘no content music’ ain’t catching nobody’s ear,” said Offset, 31, when chatting with Ebro Darden for Apple Music, after Darden asked whether the Migos alum was noticing a “transition in the game” when it came to hip-hop. “I’m noticing that the numbers are down in our genre, specifically, because I feel like everything is so the same. The next new s—t was another n— that was just here. There’s nothing new being brought to the game.”
“Not just on the sound side but just all the way around. Creatively, too,” he continued. “Most videos be, like, a Rolls Royce in the background, two chains on. That s–t [is] getting boring, fellas. There’s no real entertainment. You got these pop and these country artists smoking s—t because they coming with the full round, the full package. … Everything ain’t flexin’.”
Offset’s concerns are warranted. Lil Uzi Vert’s Pink Tape became the first hip-hop album of 2023 to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and it did so in July. In the months before that, R&B (SZA’sSOS), pop (Karol G’s Mañana Será Bonito, Stray Kids’ 5-Star, Taylor Swift’s Midnights) and country (Morgan Wallen‘s One Thing at a Time) occupied the top spot.
Since then, Drake(For All The Dogs), Travis Scott (Utopia) and Rod Wave (Nostalgia) have shown that hip-hop can move units, with each taking the No. 1 spot for a week or two.

The same can be seen on the Billboard Hot 100, where pop and country dominated for the first three-quarters of 2023. Doja Cat’s “Paint The Town Red” was the first rap no. 1 in over a year, ending a drought after Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” reached No. 1 in August 2022, per Billboard. Since then, Drake’s “First Person Shooter” and “Slime You Out” have been the only other hip-hop/rap-adjacent songs to go to No. 1.
Migos was formed as a rap group for more than a decade before Takeoff‘s untimely death in November 2022, and they went through plenty of ups and downs as both performers and family members. Formed in 2008 while they were in high school, Migos included Quavo (real name Quavious Keyate Marshall) and Offset (born Kiari […]
Rolling Stone reported in July that only three hip-hop albums released in 2023 up to that point – Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains, Lil Durk’s Almost Healed and NF’s Hope – were in the top 25 most-consumed hip-hop albums of the year. In 2018, 13 rap albums released that year were in the genre’s top 25. Rolling Stone credits the decline to the lack of music from major stars like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and more.

The publication also put forth a subjective theory similar to Offset’s, in that tastes are changing and fans aren’t buying what’s being sold.
Offset released Set It Off, his second solo album, on October 13. The project debuted at No. 5 behind Zach Bryan’s self-titled album, TOMORROW x TOMORROW’s new LP, Drake’s For All The Dogs, and Bad Bunny’s Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va A Pasar Manana.
Swift, 33, dropped her much anticipated 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Friday, October 27 — the fourth of her six planned re-recordings. In addition to all 19 original tracks, the album features five extra never-before-heard songs “from the vault” — including a few that fans think could hint at her split from Styles, 29, whom she dated prior 1989’s initial 2014 release.
In “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Verison),” a synthy pop ballad, Swift appears to be singing about the difficulty of moving on from a past relationship when both people are living in the public eye.
“And did you think I didn’t see you? / There were flashin’ lights,” Swift sings, seemingly about her ex being photographed with a new partner. “At least I had the decency / To keep my nights out of sight / Only rumors ’bout my hips and thighs /And my whispered sighs,” she adds.
Swift goes on to call the former flame a “lying traitor” before accusing them of searching in “every model’s bed for something greater.” (Styles was linked to Kendall Jenner from 2013 to 2014.) Elsewhere in the song, Swift calls the ex’s “new girl” her “clone” and makes quips about their mutual inability to let the romance go.
“Let’s fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later,” she croons. “If she’s got blue eyes, I surmise that you’ll probably date her.”
Swift’s biggest tease that the song could be about Styles, however, comes in the second verse, where she paints a picture of past memories. “When you lost control / Red blood, white snow,” she recalls. The images seem to parallel “Out of the Woods” off of 1989’s original tracklist, in which Swift recounts the ordeal, singing, “Remember when you hit the brakes too soon/Twenty stitches in a hospital room/When you started crying, Baby, I did too.”
Swift revealed in a2014 Rolling Stone interview that she and an ex were once involved in a snowmobile accident. “You know what I’ve found works even better than an NDA?” she told the outlet. “Looking someone in the eye and saying, ‘Please don’t tell anyone about this.” Styles, meanwhile, was photographed with a bandage on his chin just days after the incident took place.
Also in the second verse, Swift remembers a “blue dress on a boat.” In 2013, Swift and Styles reportedly called it quits during a getaway to the Virgin Islands. “They had a fight,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly at the time, adding that Styles “said something he shouldn’t have.” At the time, Swift was photographed leaving the vacation on a boat while looking forlorn and donning a now-famous royal blue dress.
Swift and Styles were first linked in late 2012 before their split in January 2013. While their whirlwind romance appeared brief, 1989 — which was released in October 2014 and marked Swift’s official transition into the pop world — is believed by fans to be largely inspired by her relationship with Styles, with tracks like “Out of the Woods,” “Style” and more.
Swift has never officially confirmed any of her music is about the former One Direction singer — as she famously doesn’t “name names” when it comes to her songwriting — but she has heavily teased the idea. After 1989 hit shelves, she told Rolling Stone that “Style” should have been titled, “I’m Not Even Sorry.’” In December 2014, she opened up about her inspiration behind the track during an appearance on The Morning Show.
“‘Style’ is actually bout those relationships that are never really done,” she quipped of the tongue-in-cheek track. “You always kind of have that one person who you feel like might interrupt your wedding and be like, ‘Don’t do it, we’re not over yet.’ I think everybody has that one person who kind of floats in and out of their life and the narrative is never truly over.”

Styles, for his part, shared his thoughts on potentially being the subject of Swift’s songs during a 2014 interview with Google Hangout. “We always say that we write from personal experience, and I think everyone does. So, it would be hypocritical to say ‘Oh, you can’t write songs.’ And she’s really good, so, they’re good songs,” he said of the 12-time Grammy winner. “I’m really lucky in that sense.”

While speaking to Rolling Stonein 2017, he expanded on his thoughts further, telling the outlet, “I’m lucky if everything [we went through] helped create those songs. That’s what hits your heart. That’s the stuff that’s hardest to say, and it’s the stuff I talk least about. That’s the part that’s about the two people.”
Swift and Styles have seemingly remained on good terms since their split — often seen chatting it up at awards shows over the years — and have both gone on to date other A-list stars. Swift was linked to Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris and Joe Alwynbefore moving on withTravis Kelceearlier this year. Styles, meanwhile, split from Olivia Wilde in November 2022 after nearly two years of dating. In June, he sparked romance rumors with Taylor Russell after the twosome were spotted together in London.
“Watching Rod and Olivia together … I think that the whole thing is weird,” Austen, 36, confessed during the Thursday, October 26, episode of the Bravo series.
As Austen watched his ex-girlfriend, 31, flirt with Rod from across the room at a group dinner, he added, “I’m not really too thrilled with it.” Throughout the night, Austen continued keep an eye on Olivia while she giggled and cozied up to Rod.
The Southern Charm stars can’t get enough of each other — and that’s created a dizzying web of relationships, break ups and drama. Beginning with season 1, which premiered in 2014, OG stars Craig Conover, Shep Rose and Kathryn Dennis let fans see the good, the bad and the messy parts of their romantic relationships. […]
While Olivia seemed to be on good terms with Austen, she confided in Rod that she hasn’t fully forgiven him for kissing her BFF Taylor Ann Green while they were working out their own relationship.
“I expected this from Austen. I didn’t expect it from Taylor,” Olivia said, referring to the infamous smooch. “So, it’s easy to mend with Austen.” She then clarified, “I’m not forgiving him but that cut’s not as deep [as it is with Taylor].” Olivia further explained that it’s her relationship with Taylor, 28, is what she’s “trying to put back together.”
Austen and Taylor sparked hookup rumors in early 2023 but denied they were intimate for months. During an October episode of the Bravo series, both Austen and Taylor confirmed that they had in fact kissed in late 2022.
Rod, for his part, confessed to Olivia on Thursday’s episode that he wasn’t surprised by Austen’s ever-changing story about his relationship with Taylor. “I’m used to how they play. I like to live by a code and handle myself a certain way,” Rod explained, to which Olivia said, “It’s called values and morals.”
Stephanie Diani/Bravo Rod Razavi is giving the cast of Southern Charm a run for their money on season 9 — but he’s been part of the squad for years. “Rod is great,” Craig Conover exclusively told Us Weekly on Wednesday, September 20. “[He’s] very stoic and nice guy. We have a lot of memories together […]
The season 9 newbie smiled in agreement, telling Olivia, “Austen likes to sound like he’s doing that and maybe snake around a little.” Rod continued slam Austen in his confessional, saying, “Austen’s decision making is all about him. He’s always the victim in his eyes. And he’s always the cause of the problem, every time.”

Rod ended his date with Olivia by joking about Austen’s shady past. “I can promise you I won’t make out with Taylor Ann … assuming this goes anywhere,” Rod quipped, which prompted a belly laugh from Olivia.
Southern Charm airs on Bravo Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET.
During the Thursday, October 26, episode of “Pod Meets World,” Fishel, 42, took a trip down memory lane via an old diary she wrote in 1996 and recently rediscovered. She detailed one particular entry from February of that year when she was forced to spend the day with Strong, 43, and Cook, 44, while they were dating.
“I had the sh–test day. First of all, school was boring, rehearsal sucks and Rider was antisocial,” Fishel read from the journal, causing Strong and their fellow cohost, Will Friedle, to laugh. “That’s such a nice way to say I was grumpy,” Strong quipped in response.
Fishel explained she was “bummed out” over Strong’s lack of social interaction because she was crushing on him hard at the time. When Friedle, 47, questioned whether Fishel had feelings for Strong while dating Jonathan Taylor Thomas — whom she famously dated throughout the mid-’90s — Fishel claimed that there was no overlap.
Not every sitcom turns into a family phenomenon — but Boy Meets World did just that. The series, created by Michael Jacobs, debuted in 1993 and aired seven seasons on ABC until its finale in May 2000. The show followed the life and life lessons of Cory Matthews, portrayed by Ben Savage — from home […]
“Jonathan and I were not necessarily dating at this time, we were really off and on regularly over the years,” she said before noting that the diary entry ended with her professing her love for three different boys. “I love Landon and Rider and David,” she read, claiming she has “no clue” who David is, but she “went to high school” with Landon.
“Then we went to acting class but we had to wait for Rachael,” Fishel recounted, pointing out that the word “Rachael” was underlined in annoyance. “Then Rider and Rachael got all lovey-dovey, and it made me want to puke. Then they kissed, and it looked so cute. She’s actually really sweet and cool, but I really like Rider. I don’t think she’s right for him. Then again, maybe I’m not either.”

As Strong pointed out how “reasonable” Fishel was about her crush — even complimenting Cook despite clearly feeling jealousy of her romantic rival — Friedle was surprised by how “real” her emotions were for Strong.
Strong, for his part, insisted that he had “no idea” Fishel had been crushing on him, adding that it was understandable due to how close they were at the time.
“I do remember we were hanging out in ’96 because I could drive, so you actually spent time with me alone,” he said. “I do remember during this period, like, you would come to my apartment. So, yeah, I guess we were spending a lot of time together.”
All grown up! Freddie Prinze Jr., Mario Lopez and more of the hottest hunks from the ’90s have turned into some of the most devoted dads in Hollywood. The Saved By the Bell alum and his wife, Courtney Mazza, have been “blessed” with three “healthy, beautiful” kids — but wouldn’t say no to expanding their […]
Fishel first revealed her costar crush during an August 2022 episode of “Pod Meets World,” sharing what initially drew her to Strong. “He was so smart, and … one of my favorite things about Rider — and it continues to this day — [is that] Rider is very effusive,” she said. “He will tell you how he feels and he’s very free with his compliments, but he doesn’t throw them out willy-nilly. When he compliments you, it is thoughtful, it has meaning, and you can tell it’s coming from a very real place.”
Though she confessed that she probably “annoyed” him when she first joined the cast, Fishel recalled them eventually forming “a very nice, deep friendship and we had very meaningful conversations.” Explaining that they took the same acting class for a while, Fishel recounted: “I remember getting a … very real compliment from Rider. And then feeling like, ‘Oh, my God, I love you.’”

Fishel’s admission took both of her “Pod Meets World” costars by surprise, with Strong initially believing that her comment was a joke. “That’s not true. That’s not true, you never told me that. You saved that for 30 years?” he asked, while Friedle gasped and laughed in the background. “So …I was your first celebrity crush. [It was] Jonathan Taylor Thomas and me. You really had the teen magazine thing covered way through the ’90s.”
While Fishel never connected romantically with Strong off-screen, there was one Boy Meets World cast member who did manage to steal her heart.
Child stars and Tiger Beat hunks! Some of the biggest names in Hollywood first got their start as ’90s TV stars. From Tiffani Thiessen, to Melissa Joan Hart and Will Smith, see where these actors first caught the acting bug.
“The only person on the show I ever had a romantic relationship with was Matthew Lawrence,” she explained, adding that they kept the relationship secret from the rest of the cast during filming. “We did not want it to be a big deal on set. [But] I went to his prom. Our moms were friends. It was cute.”

In addition to Lawrence, 43, and JTT, Fishel also datedLance Bass from 1999 to 2000, with the ’NSync member even accompanying her to her prom. She tied the knot with Tim Belusko in 2013 but the pair called it quits 2016 years later. She wed Jensen Karp in 2018 and the pair share sons Adler and Keaton.
Strong, meanwhile, dated Cook in the ’90s before meeting Alexandra Barreto while filming their 2006 TV series Pepper Dennis. After six years of dating, the pair got engaged. They tied the knot in 2013 and welcomed their son, Indy, in 2014.
“That whole situation alone was kind of crazy for me,” Chyna, 35, admitted on the Thursday, October 26, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “I never really talked about this.”
Chyna — whose real name is Angela White — revealed that she and Kim Kardashian were “really good friends” before drama began to unfold between herself and the Kardashian family.
“Then her little sister [Kyle Jenner] started talking to Tyga, which was kind of crazy because she was underage,” Chyna continued. “Everybody, kind of, came at me and started attacking me. Nobody’s seen the betrayal that went on behind my back of me talking to somebody, Kim, and then her little sister — who she has no control over — started talking to my fiancé. Then I get attacked. How does that work?”
Chyna and Tyga — born Michael Stevenson — started dating in 2011 and got engaged after welcoming their son, King Cairo, in October 2012. Chyna said on the podcast that she and Tyga split after things “ran its course.” Tyga, now 33, moved on with Kylie, now 26, in 2014.
Chyna reflected on the “crazy” series of events, noting on Thursday’s podcast that the “whole thing” between her and Rob, 36, made it “even more wild.”

“Rob would hit me up on the DM,” she recalled, adding that she was initially apprehensive about engaging. “Then, I started talking to him.”
Chyna was quick to realize that Rob was “really cool.” She added, “We just fell in love and then we had Dream.”
The former couple debuted their relationship via social media in January 2016. Rob proposed to Chyna in April of that year. By May, they were expecting their first child together. Rob and Chyna’s daughter, Dream, was born in January 2017, one month after the duo called off their engagement. Rob and Chyna officially split in early 2017.
“As crazy as things may seem in the beginning, I’m just glad I was always relaxed and calm,” Chyna told podcast host Nick Viall on Thursday. “Now I have my Kingy and my Dreamy and they just really helped shape the woman that I am today. I’m so grateful for them.”
Protecting their legacy. The Kardashian-Jenner family have dealt with their fair share of legal battles over the years, from lawsuits to custody battles. “We kept it internal, between the family,” Kris Jenner testified in April 2022, explaining to a Los Angeles court why she hadn’t informed police that Blac Chyna allegedly threatened to kill Kylie […]
“With Robert and Michael, it’s never been, like, no bad blood, you know what I mean, or nothing negative,” she told the Daily Mail in March. “It was just, like, two different people in two different paths. One day, those paths had collided, you know, that’s how we got the babies.”
Chyna, however, filed a “petition to determine parental relationship” against Tyga in August, asking for joint custody of their son. Multiple outlets confirmed earlier this month that Tyga filed for sole custody and requested Chyna be given “reasonable visitation.”
Scott Disick‘s car accident had a significant impact on his health — but it wasn’t his only scary crash.
During a new episode of The Kardashians, which started streaming on Thursday, October 26, Scott, 40, discussed his back issues with Kendall Jenner.
“Did you know that I might have to get back surgery from the car accident I was in?” he asked. “My back sucks. I was with [my son] Mason and we were out on the little dirt bikes. He was asking me to teach him how to wheelie, so I fell backwards right onto my tailbone. Now I have dual back problems.”
Since his reality TV debut, Scott Disick has faced many public ups and downs in his life — in front of and behind the cameras. Disick appeared on Keeping Up With the Kardashians since its 2007 premiere, which was filmed one year after he started dating Kourtney Kardashian. The then-couple’s tumultuous relationship continued to be […]
“So I was going to pick Mason up because we were going to a movie. I was driving by myself,” Scott — who shares kids Mason, 13, Penelope, 11, and Reign, 8, with ex Kourtney Kardashian — recalled in a June episode. “I made a right and then the curbs in that neighborhood are not flat curbs — they are kind of like little lips. So the wheel came into the little lip and made it pull a little and by the time it pulled it smacked into a pillar.”

He continued: “It hit and did a somersault forward then hit then landed. I was up there [in my car] strapped in and hanging. Then I couldn’t get out and I tried the sunroof.”
After his accident, Scott made limited appearances on the hit Hulu reality series. He returned in an episode earlier this month, where Khloé Kardashian weighed in on his health issues.
Scott Disick has struggled with substance abuse, grief and more issues since stepping into the spotlight, but he has also celebrated personal wins, such as welcoming three children. Us Weekly is taking a look back at his highs and lows through the years. The reality star became a household name while starring alongside Kourtney Kardashian on Keeping Up […]
“I gained a lot of weight here because of my back,” he told Khloé, 39. “Ever since that car accident, [my back pain] got worse over time.”
Khloé subsequently convinced Scott to make an appointment with a physical therapist, saying, “I think Scott maybe needs a little pep talk because this is probably the unhealthiest I’ve seen him. He’s barely mobile and it is all from his back. That wouldn’t make anyone feel good. I think Scott needs to realize these things are fixable. You can’t let it get you down.”
Keep your friends close … but your exes closer? The Kardashian-Jenner family is known to stay on good terms with their exes. Kris Jenner seemingly set the precedent when she stayed friendly with ex-husband Robert Kardashian Sr. before his 2003 death. “It took me a couple of years after Robert and I got divorced, but […]
“Your mom was thinking about me. She came with me. The procedure was 15 minutes and [when] I woke up she wasn’t there. That was nice,” he quipped to Kendall, 27, before they did a joint sound bath.
Hulu releases new episodes of The Kardashians every Thursday.
“MGK and Megan were [both] in wedding planning mode when they first got together, but things have stalled,” the insider says, noting that Kelly, 33, and Fox, 37, are “both very hot tempered” so they’ve chosen to alleviate any triggers by pressing pause on the event.
The duo are instead “focusing on their relationship and feeling solid before planning another wedding,” the source adds, explaining that the first try “was such a huge undertaking and took its strain” on the relationship.
Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly started off their relationship by being coworkers, but it quickly evolved into something more. Fox and Kelly (real name Colson Baker) met on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass in March 2020. At the time, Fox was married to Brian Austin Green. Two months later, the costars were […]
While the insider tells Us that the “Bloody Valentine” singer (real name Colson Baker) and Fox “are still very much together,” the twosome aren’t “excited to jump back into” planning mode. Therefore, “no wedding date has been chosen and they aren’t actively looking at venues anymore,” the source says.
Fox and Kelly were first linked in May 2020 after getting close on the set of their film, Midnight in the Switchgrass. Later that month, Brian Austin Green confirmed that he and Fox had separated after nearly 10 years of marriage.
“He asked me to marry him. And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow it, I said yes. … And then we drank each other’s blood 1.11.22,” Fox wrote about the proposal via Instagram.

One year later, Fox and Kelly sparked split rumors after the actress shared a cryptic message via social media. “You can taste the dishonesty / it’s all over your breath,“ Fox captioned a February Instagram post, quoting Beyoncé’s “Pray You Catch Me” lyrics.
Rumors that the couple were on the rocks began earlier that month when Fox and Kelly arrived in Arizona prior to Super Bowl LVII. A source exclusively told Us at the time that the pair “had a big fight” that resulted in Fox skipping Kelly’s performance at the Sports Illustrated party.
“Twin flames” equals double trouble! Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox’s unique bond is part of what makes them such a ship-worthy couple — but it’s also what makes them a wild one, too. Ever since the two first met in 2019 on the set of Midnight in the Switchgrass, they have been inseparable — […]
Days later, Fox denied that Kelly had cheated on her after rumors surfaced that he had an affair with guitarist Sophie Lloyd. In the months that followed, Fox and Kelly got back on track and were spotted on a romantic vacation to Hawaii in April.

“[MGK] knew it was going to take a lot of growth and healing to make things really work with Megan,” an insider exclusively told Us in April. “But he knows she’s worth everything and more, so he would go to the ends of the earth to repair their relationship no matter what it took.”
Part of the pair’s workload has been speaking to a professional about their dynamic. “They’re on the right track again,” a source exclusively shared with Us in July. “They’ve had so much success in therapy together. As they start to trust each other, they’ve been talking about getting married again.”
“I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her,” Travis said on an episode of the “New Heights” podcast, which he cohosts with brother Jason Kelce. Because Swift does not do meet and greets “before or after the show,” he was unable to hand her “[a bracelet] with my [phone] number on it.”
Swift later showed her interest in Travis by accepting an invite to a Chiefs vs. Chicago Bears game in September 2023. At the time, she rocked a Chiefs jacket and cheered for Travis with his mom, Donna Kelce.
The following month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly, “They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction.” The insider continued, “Friends think they’re in love.”
Keep scrolling to see how Swift and Travis’ relationship has developed:
July 2023
Travis attended Swift’s Eras Tour at her Kansas City stop in Missouri.
July 26, 2023
Later that month, Travis opened up about how much he enjoyed her concert on an episode of the “New Heights” podcast. “It was an unbelievable show. Kansas City showed out … Everybody was dressed in pink and purple, going crazy for her,” he gushed. “I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings. I wanted to give her [a bracelet] with my number on it.”
September 24, 2023
Shortly after several sports outlets reported that Swift and Travis were seeing each other, Swift fueled romance rumors when she attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game in Travis’ private suite. She supported the NFL star by wearing a Chiefs jacket and cheering him on with his mom, Donna. She even appeared to shout “Let’s f–king go,” following a big play.

After the game, they were spotted leaving the locker room together. For the outing, Travis wore a funky blue and white denim set. The brand, KidSuper Studios, saw Travis wearing the ensemble with Swift and renamed it the “1989 Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket,” as a reference to her album 1989. (It was originally named the “Bedroom Painting Denim Jacket.”)
The pair were seen getting cozy at a postgame celebration. Swift wrapped her arm around Travis while he sat on a barstool.
September 26, 2023
Days after Swift attended the game, multiple sources told Us the pair are taking their relationship slow. “They have been on a few dates and Taylor is smitten with him,” the insider said. “It is not serious, and Taylor is having fun right now.” A second source confirmed, “They’re getting closer and closer every day.”
Another insider noted, they are “enjoying each other’s company and getting to know each other.” A fourth source confirmed that they had hung out “twice” so far.
September 27, 2023
Travis reflected on Swift’s appearance at his game, calling her brave for attending. Jason teased on the “New Heights” podcast, “How’s it feel that Taylor Swift has finally put you on the map?” Travis laughed and responded, “Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up. That was pretty ballsy.”
That same day, Jason made an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP and commented on his brother’s budding romance. “It was fun watching the whole world take it in, to be honest with you,” he said. “I would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman.”
A source revealed in an issue of Us that Swift was “was low-key and low-maintenance” while watching Travis defeat the Jets. The insider added that she “was sweet to everyone and had an amazing time.”

After Travis was seen leaving her New York City apartment, another source told Us, “Taylor’s really enjoying getting to know Travis … They’re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he’s a normal, nice guy. He’s down-to-earth and isn’t affected by fame. She also thinks he’s hot.”
A separate insider gushed, “Travis is completely smitten.”
October 10, 2023
One day after Travis’ 34th birthday, sources told Us Swift flew to Kansas City “to see Travis.” The pair enjoyed a “chill night,” per the insider.
October 12, 2023
Swift supported her man at the Chiefs vs. Denver Broncos game. For the event, she rocked a Chiefs windbreaker — gifted to her by Travis’ friend Erin Andrews from her WEAR clothing line — featuring white stripes, the team’s name in a cursive font and their logo. She again enjoyed the match with Donna, and met Travis’ dad, Ed Kelce.
Donna, for her part, sported Eras Tour-inspired friendship bracelets with colorful letter beads.
October 13, 2023
An insider told Us the duo’s relationship was “going great.”
“It’s still so new, but they really like each other,” the source told Us. “They both want to try to see each other when they can and they’re both understanding of each other’s schedules.”
October 14, 2023
Travis surprised fans with an appearance on Saturday Night Live, appearing in a sketch that took a dig at Swift’s famous ex-boyfriends.
In the skit, which included host Pete Davidson, Kenan Thompson, Curt Menefee, Mikey Day and more, the actors played sports commentators who quickly got sidetracked by Swift’s appearances at NFL games.
The men praised Travis for being a better suitor for Swift than exesJoe Alwyn and Matty Healy were. (Swift and Alwyn dated for six years before Us confirmed their split in April. Following the breakup, she had a brief romance with Healy.)
Thompson then told the group, “Knock it off, people tuned in for football, OK? We are going to speak with someone, who actually wants to talk football.” Cameras then cut to Travis, who was standing on the sideline.
“Yes, me!” he said, before mouthing “come on.”
Travis attended an afterparty while holding hands with Swift. Fans noticed that Travis appeared to have a bit of Swift’s red lipstick on his lips, hinting that the couple were making out before the party.

October 15, 2023
The couple enjoyed their second date night in a row at the Waverly Inn in New York City. For the romantic evening, Swift rocked a sheer Jean Paul Gaultier top featuring floral details and a leather miniskirt.
October 18, 2023
“Travis is different from anybody Taylor has dated before and she is falling for him more and more as the days go by,” a source exclusively told Us. He “goes out of his way to make Taylor feel special in any way he can … Taylor couldn’t believe the massive bouquet of flowers Travis sent to her just because.”
“He makes her feel safe and protected,” the source said, noting that he still lets her feel bejeweled. He “supports her independence and success … things are going really well” for the two, per the source.
October 20, 2023
An insider gushed about Travis and Swift’s budding romance, telling Us, “They’re really happy. They’re not saying they’re in love yet. But it’s obvious to her friends they’re heading in that direction … Friends think they’re in love.”

The source explained that the pair have already planned how to stay in touch when she returns to her Eras Tour, adding, “He’s going to see her when she’s back on tour. That’s already planned. And when she gets a break, she’ll see him. It’s going so well because it’s easy and nothing is complicated.”
The pair were seen on a romantic dinner date in Kansas City one day after his game. The two reportedly pulled up to the restaurant in a luxurious Rolls Royce and enjoyed their meal for about two hours.
October 23, 2023
Travis’ dad, Ed, gushed over Swift, calling her “special” in an interview with People: “I’ll tell you something very special that I noticed about Taylor the first time I met her. We’re sitting in the suite, she gets up and in the front room, she gets up to go get a drink or something and she starts picking up empty bottles, cans, plates that are scattered around.”
While working on a project together, Dean McDermott and Lily Calo’s relationship recently turned romantic, a source reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly.
“It became clear things were over with Tori [Spelling], and one thing led to another,” the insider says of the new couple, who sparked relationship speculation in early October. A second source notes that McDermott, 56, and Spelling, 50, are “separated [so] Dean is free to date who he wants.”
The estranged couple aren’t opposed to working together down the line, either, according to the second source — who tells Us, that there are “talks” that McDermott and Spelling would “jump at the chance to do a reality show.”
Both McDermott and Spelling “love publicity” and with “so much fantastic footage to include” from their recent estrangement, the insider adds that a new series isn’t off the table.
Tori Spellingand Dean McDermott have been making headlines since their scandalous start. The two actors met on set of Lifetime’s Mind Over Murder in 2005, a year after Spelling married her first husband, Charlie Shanian. McDermott, for his part, had been married to Mary Jo Eustace, with whom he shares son Jack, for more than […]
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that @torispelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own,” he wrote in the since-deleted message, sharing throwback photos from their union. “We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time.”

The Beverly Hills,90210 alum and McDermott didn’t publicly address the split declaration, but a source exclusively told Us in June that they were “not getting a divorce” and “have been better than ever.”
However, McDermott seemed to confirm the breakup earlier this month when he was spotted holding hands with Calo outside the Department of Social Services’ West Valley office in Chatsworth, California, on October 10. One week later, McDermott was photographed kissing Calo while dropping her off at Los Angeles International Airport.
Her very own troop from Beverly Hills! Tori Spelling and husband Dean McDermott have their hands full with their five children — but they aren’t the only family members in this brood. “With five, you definitely have to move as a family unit,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2019. […]
A source exclusively told Us on October 19 that Spelling and McDermott are “headed for a divorce,” explaining that the pictures hit a nerve for Spelling. “Dean stepping out with a new woman since he hadn’t been seen in a long time is disrespectful to Tori,” the insider said. “He hasn’t been as actively engaged with the family since they separated.”

The Troop Beverly Hills actress, for her part, is “over it” when it comes to McDermott’s antics and is “focusing on herself and her personal well-being,” the insider added. Spelling “wants to close the chapter with Dean,” the source concluded.

Kardashian, 43, took to social media on Tuesday, October 24, to share all the bouquets of flowers she received for her birthday from her family and friends — including one from Beyoncé herself.
“Kim, Have a beautiful birthday,” the singer, 42, who also sent a gorgeous arrangement of white flowers, wrote on a card. “Hope you are surrounded by joy. All my love, B.”
Kardashian’s two oldest children — daughter North, 10, and son Saint, 10, whom she shares with ex-husband Kanye West — sent bouquets as well, along with palsVanessa Bryant and Simon Huck. (Kardashian and West are also parents of daughter Chicago, 5, and son Psalm, 3.)
Beyoncé may not have made an appearance at the star-studded bash, but she certainly wanted Kardashian to feel the love. The women have been friends for years, but hit a snag in 2016 when West, 46, made headlines for blasting the Grammy winner and her husband, Jay-Z, during a Sacramento concert.
At the time, West alleged that Queen Bey only agreed to perform at the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards if she won Video of the Year for “Formation.” West also called out Jay Z, 53, for not returning his phone calls after Kim’s was robbed in Paris earlier that month, saying, “Jay Z, call me, bruh. You still ain’t called me. Jay Z, I know you got killers. Please don’t send them at my head. Please call me. Talk to me like a man.”

Jay-Z addressed West’s claims during an appearance on the “Rap Radar” podcast that August, revealing that his major issue stemmed from West mentioning Beyoncé on stage. (In addition to Blue Ivy, now 11, Beyoncé and Jay-Z share twins Rumi and Sur, whom they welcomed in June 2017.)
“But what really hurt me was, you can’t bring my kid or my wife into it,” he explained. “Kanye’s my little brother. He’s talked about me 100 times. He made a song called ‘Big Brother.’ We’ve gotten past bigger issues. But you brought my family into it, now it’s a problem with me. That’s a real, real problem. And he knows it’s a problem.”
The “99 Problems” rapper added that West “knows that he crossed the line” and that West will “say things and he’s wrong a lot of times and he’ll confront it.”
In 2017, West parted ways with Jay-Z’s streaming platform, Tidal, over a money dispute after he claimed he was owed a bonus for bringing 1.5 million new subscribers to the platform. The following year, Jay-Z explained that he and West have a “complicated relationship” on an appearance of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction With David Letterman, saying the duo were “beyond friends.” ”
“It’s still your sibling forever, it’s my brother. We don’t come from the same mom and dad but I watched Kanye from without an album,” he explained during the April 2018 interview. “The thing I respect about him is that he’s the same person. He interrupted our studio session and stood on the table and started rapping, and we were like, ‘Could you please get down?’ And he was like, ‘No! I am the savior of Chicago!’ He didn’t have a record.”
There’s no birthday party quite like a Kardashian-Jenner affair, and Kim Kardashian’s 43rd celebration was certainly no exception. The Skims mogul arranged an intimate birthday dinner in Los Angeles on Friday, October 21, for her inner circle — and the stars turned out for the occasion. Kim’s sisters Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner […]
After multiple reports that West was planning to sue Jay-Z, a source exclusively told Us Weekly in December 2019 that the twosome — along with Kardashian and Beyoncé — hung out together in the VIP section of the party at Diddy’s 50th birthday party earlier that month. “They greeted each other and seemed friendly and happy to see each other. The Carters and the Wests were all in a section behind Diddy and his family,” the insider said at the time.
“On our way to see the birthday girl!” Kim captioned an Instagram Story video that showed the group singing along to Beyoncé’s 2013 hit “Drunk in Love.”
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills stars give a whole new meaning to the lifestyles of the rich and famous — and now you can eat, shop and workout like the cast.
In Us Weekly’s latest “VIP Scene” episode, we take you behind the Hollywood curtain and straight to Los Angeles for all the RHOBH-approved hotspots. First up: Lisa Vanderpump’s SUR Restaurant & Lounge.
Nicki Minaj and Rihanna are self-proclaimed Real Housewives superfans — and they’re not alone. In July 2021, Minaj revealed via social media that she would love to host the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion, which host Andy Cohen supported. “I want to see this!” he wrote in the comments section of Minaj’s post. Several cast […]
Current RHOBH star Sutton Stracke also has a happening business located in West Hollywood: The Sutton Concept. Earlier this year, she added Sutton Brands to her clothing empire, which focuses on sustainable fashions.
If you hadn’t heard of Ariana Madix before this year, you definitely have now. Already a beloved star of Bravo’s long-running Real Housewives of Beverly Hills spinoff, Vanderpump Rules, she became a household name this past spring after uncovering her boyfriend’s infidelity with her best friend — both Pump Rules costars. Madix was cheered for […]
“I think we don’t realize how much fashion is injuring our planet,” Stracke, 52, exclusively told Us in August, noting her own “green line” was already available at her L.A. shop. “So, I thought, ‘How can I be a part of the solution and not be a part of the problem?’ We all know I love fashion, so my business partner and I created a new business called Sutton Brands. It’s a circular fashion house.”

Stamos, 60, recalled his and Loughlin’s near-miss love connection in his memoir, If You Would Have Told Me, which hit shelves on Tuesday, October 24. According to Stamos, he and Loughlin, 59, found themselves “suddenly single at the same time” in the mid-1990s.
“She’s my Sandra Dee from Grease, the good girl with a kind heart who always makes me feel upbeat when I’m around her,” Stamos wrote of Loughlin. “She’s one of the few women I have spent day after day with and still always look forward to seeing her again. I know what makes her laugh, we get each other and we have the sort of true friendship that’s supposed to be the foundation of a great, lasting relationship.”

Loughlin and Stamos became friends while working together on Full House, which ran from 1987 to 1995. Stamos played Jesse Katsopolis, while Loughlin played his love interest and later wife, Rebecca Donaldson.
In 1994, Stamos met Romijn, 50, at an afterparty for a Victoria’s Secret fashion show that Romijn walked in as a model. While Stamos attended the party with Loughlin, he ended up getting Romijn’s number. “[She’s] the Sandy-in-Black-Leather at the end of Grease,” Stamos wrote of Romijn.
Bonded for life! The cast of Full House became a tight-knit family after starring on the sitcom for eight seasons from 1987 to 1995. The series, which followed the lives of Danny Tanner (played by the late Bob Saget) and his three daughters — D.J. (Candace Cameron Bure), Stephanie (Jodie Sweetin) and Michelle (Mary-Kate and […]
Loughlin, meanwhile, caught on to the fact that Stamos couldn’t look away from Romijn and her fellow models. “Lori has had my number the whole time,” Stamos continued. “As each leggy beauty walks down the runway, she shoots me a knowing look and maintains a little smirk. She knows I’m not as ready to settle down as I feel. She’s humoring me.”
Stamos recalled asking himself to choose between the two women with a further reference to Grease. “Am I going to sit in a swing forlorn at the drive-in wearing a motorcycle jacket warbling like John Travolta for Sandra Dee or am I putting on the letterman’s sweater to enter the carnival in search of black patent leather stilettos with chills multiplying?” he wrote. “Let’s just say Rebecca’s first call sounds a lot like, ‘Tell me about it, Stud,’ and it’s electrifying.”

Romijn and Stamos tied the knot in September 1998 after getting engaged on Christmas Eve the year prior. The former couple announced their split in April 2004 after five years of marriage. He later married Caitlin McHugh in February 2018, while Romijn wedJerry O’Connell in 2007. Stamos and McHugh, 37, share son Billy, 5, and Romijn and O’Connell, 49, are the parents of 13-year-old twins Dolly and Charlie.
Stamos has previously said that he and Loughlin went on a date in their late teens after meeting because of their work on soap operas. “We went on a date to Disneyland before … we were both married,” he told HuffPost in 2013. “We did have some off timing, but — no disrespect to her family and her husband now — I would say that she could be the one that got away.”

After the Kansas City Chiefs — of which her son Patrick, 28, is quarterback — defeated the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, October 22, Randi took to social media to share her admiration for Swift, 33, who posed for a photo with Patrick’s 12-years old sister, Mia Randall, during the game.
“I love how sweet Taylor was to my girl!!” Randi captioned a pic of the twosome via her Instagram Story. She added the hashtag “girl power” to the sweet snap, which featured Swift and Mia decked out in Chiefs gear as they smiled for the camera. (Randi is mom to sons Patrick Jr. and Jackson, 22, whom she shares with ex-husband Patrick “Pat” Mahomes, and Mia from another relationship.)
Randi and Mia took in Sunday’s big game from a private suite at Arrowhead Stadium alongside Swift and Patrick’s wife, Brittany Mahomes, who showed off their new celebration handshake after the Chiefs scored a touchdown in the second quarter.
Swift, for her part, was in attendance to support Chiefs tight endTravis Kelce, with whom she has been romantically linked since September. Sunday marked her fourth time cheering for Kelce, 34, from the stands since showing up to support him at his game against the Chicago Bears game last month.
The entire Mahomes’ brood seems to be fond of Swift. Earlier this month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Patrick and Brittany, 28 —who tied the knot in March 2022 and share son Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III, 2, and daughter Sterling Skye, 8 months — have been “huge fans” of Swift for awhile and even attended her Eras Tour in Kansas City in July. (Kelce also made an appearance at the concert, where he tried – and failed – to give Swift his number.)

Brittany and Swift have since been spotted cheering together at multiple Chiefs games and even enjoyed a night on the town with some of Swift’s A-list inner circle — including Blake Lively and Sophie Turner— last month.
“Brittany is thrilled to be building a genuine friendship with Taylor. They’ve hung out a couple of times and have grown fairly close in a short period of time,” the insider told Us at the time. “Brittany thinks Taylor is so sweet, and down to earth, and they get along really great.”
The source noted that Patrick and Kelce being “best friends’ makes the dynamic even “better,” adding, “They’re having a blast and love cheering on their men together.”
Swift has also bonded with Travis’ parents — Donna and Ed Kelce — while spending time in the Kelce private suite over the past two months. While Travis previously gushed over seeing the singer with his mom in the stands, he had a bit of a different reaction to Swift spending time with his father.
Taylor Swift has loved being the girl in the bleachers amid her blossoming romance with Travis Kelce. The “Anti-Hero” singer made her first appearance at a Kansas City Chiefs game in September 2023, watching them defeat the Chicago Bears from the Kelce family’s private suite. After cheering alongside the tight end’s mom, Donna Kelce, she […]
“If you know Dad like I know Dad,” Travis said on an October episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s“New Heights” podcast, to which Jason, 35, finished, “He shouldn’t be talking to Taylor Swift.”

Travis joked that he felt “terrible” for Swift and it was “terrifying” for him to think about what the pair could have been talking about. “If you see Dad talking to anybody and you can’t hear what’s happening, who knows where that conversation’s going,” Jason quipped in response.
Despite giving Ed a hard time, the siblings clarified that Ed is the “best f—king dad in the world” – they just simply “love to rag on the big guy.”
Bravo offered a glimpse on Monday, October 23, at an upcoming episode where Kyle and Natalya throw digs at each other.
In the clip, Natalya pokes fun at Kyle’s behavior in front of charter guests, saying, “Kyle is lounging again.” Later, Kyle tells Tumi that she’s lucky not to be sharing a room with Natalya.
“Natalya can talk. You can be so glad,” he notes before Tumi asks, “That I’m not rooming with her?”
As soon as you step foot on a Below Deck Mediterranean charter yacht, you’re guaranteed one thing: a whole lot of drama. Throughout its five seasons, crew members like Captain Sandy Yawn, Hannah Ferrier, Malia White and more have been know to butt heads with each other — all with the purpose of delivering a […]
In a confessional, Tumi admits she has concerns about how Kyle speaks about her when she isn’t around, adding, “I thought they were friends but if he is talking s—t about her he is definitely talking s—t about me.”
However, Tumi’s relationship with Natalya has faced plenty of challenges. Natalya was previously at odds with her season 7 chief stew Natasha Webb and Kyle before patching things up with the latter once they stopped filming. After a rough introduction to Natalya, Tumi warned Kyle that she wasn’t afraid to stand her ground with her interior team.
“Giving you a heads up b/w us. I know you’re mates with her, but Nat needs to stay in her lane bc Tumi losing her s—t will end up in her walking off bc she had a diva moment,” Tumi wrote in a text during the October 9 episode, to which Kyle responded, “I’m sorry to hear this — I did tell you she’s something that came for all of us.”
Offering a glimpse into their lives. Over the years, Bravo viewers have seen Below Deck Sailing Yacht cast members come and go — but not before they brought drama to the high seas. The spinoff series, which premiered in 2020, shocked viewers when Dani Soares and Jean-Luc Cerza-Lanaux‘s onscreen fling took a turn once they […]
As Tumi’s issues with Natalya got worse, Kyle stepped in to attempt to mediate the situation. He told Natalya about Tumi’s text to him, which Natalya then mentioned to Captain Sandy after an argument with her chief stew.
“You’re in a leadership role and you need to rise above and figure this out because right now I am ready to put you both off the boat,” Sandy told Tumi about how to handle the situation.
The captain elaborated on her reaction to the drama, telling cameras on the October 16 episode, “You have to respect each other in the workplace. You can’t do this. This is behavior that can’t happen. In this situation I need to defuse it but then you need to step away and let the leader handle it. Because if I draw the line for them, they are never going to respect each other. Having said that, if I hear Natalya screaming at Tumi again and Tumi can’t defuse it, then I need to step in and make a decision.”
A boat is nothing without its leader. Over the years, Below Deck fans have become familiar with many captains — and some made more memorable impressions than others. Below Deck, which premiered in 2013, explored the glamorous world of yachting and the not as beautiful behind-the-scenes situations that the crew must handle. The first season […]
“I love [some] good gossip. But I am realizing that my involvement has made the situation worse. I shared with Tumi how my time went with Natalya [during season 7]. And Tumi’s response was, ‘I know you’re mates with her, but she needs to stay in her lane. Tumi losing her s—t will end in her walking off because she had a diva moment,’” he detailed. “I am really good at getting information. My biggest problem? I am not good at keeping the information. It’s not good. Trust me, I know.”
Rough seas! Viewers have had a front row seat to some of the biggest reality TV feuds since the Below Deck franchise debuted in 2013. The show’s spinoff series Below Deck Mediterranean shocked viewers when Hannah Ferrier and Captain Sandy Yawn‘s inability to see eye to eye turned into the most memorable firing to date. […]
“Although I love a good tea and I am glad that Natalya and Tumi made up about the text message — I am just not happy with Natalya,” he said. “Informing Sandy and using my name in that … Me revealing Tumi’s message to Natalya was an act of friendship. It wasn’t for Natalya to weaponize me against other people.”

Kyle concluded: “There’s only room for one gossip on this boat right now and that’s me. I am the tea queen. Self-proclaimed.”
Below Deck Mediterranean airs on Bravo Mondays at 9 p.m. ET.
