  • Report: ‘The Night Manager’ In Works For A Second Season With Tom Hiddleston Set To Return 

    Report: ‘The Night Manager’ In Works For A Second Season With Tom Hiddleston Set To Return 

    By Melissa Romualdi.

    It’s been six years since the top-rated 2016 U.K. drama “The Night Manager”, starring Tom Hiddleston, had its season one finale.

    Now, the popular adaptation of John le Carré’s 1993 espionage novel is reportedly in the works for a second season at Prime Video and the BBC, with Hiddleston set to reprise his role as protagonist Jonathan Pine, as per Deadline

    The outlet reports that season 2 will film later this year in London and South America. Although a new season has yet to be formally greenlit by Prime Video and the BBC, sources tell Deadline that the show is on track to receive a two-season order.

    The publication also reports that David Farr, who penned season 1, will return to write season 2.

    Since the first season ended in late 2016, widespread rumours began circulating about a second season, which is now understood to reportedly be set in the present day.

    Season 2 will follow “British arms dealer Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie) being taken away by the Syrians at the end of Season 1,” to which “Hiddleston’s Pine is informed he is dead two years later, and he has to face up to a new, even more deadly challenge,” as per Deadline.

    The first season, directed by Susanne Bier, also starred Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, Elizabeth Debicki and David Harewood. It followed “Pine, the night manager of a luxury Cairo hotel and former British soldier who is recruited by the manager of a Foreign Office taskforce to infiltrate Roper’s inner circle.” The series thriller received two Emmys and three Golden Globe awards.

    Earlier this month, the Hindi adaptation of “The Night Manager”, starring Aditya Roy Kapur as Pine and Anil Kapoor as Roper, premiered on Disney+.

  • Jessa Duggar Reveals She Suffered A Miscarriage With Baby No. 5 In Emotional Video

    Jessa Duggar Reveals She Suffered A Miscarriage With Baby No. 5 In Emotional Video

    By Miguel A. Melendez, ETOnline.com.

    Jessa Duggar revealed in a heartbreaking 18-minute video that she suffered a miscarriage.

    Jessa took to her YouTube channel Friday and detailed the tragedy in an emotional video, which starts with her and husband Ben Seewald gathered around their four children to tell them Jessa’s expecting baby No. 5. The video then cuts to the former TLC star explaining she was experiencing some complications.

    Jessa and Ben would eventually head to the doctor for a checkup, and that’s when an ultrasound technician told them “the sac looks good. The baby does not.” Jessa said she immediately started crying, and the technician gave her and Ben a moment “to process the loss, sitting there and holding hands and crying.”

    “When you lose someone so dear to you, it does make heaven that much sweeter,” she said in the video dubbed “Heartbreak Over the Holidays.” “We talked about that with the kids. We can’t wait to meet this little one in heaven one day.”

    Jessa didn’t hold back exactly how she felt throughout the ordeal. Just before the dilation and curettage procedure (or D&C), the 30-year-old recalled second-guessing the doctors’ grim conclusion.

    “Right as they were wheeling me back, I just wanted to ask, like, ‘Just can I please have one more ultrasound? Please? Somebody check, make sure,’” she said. “I was, like, having all these fears that maybe they got something wrong.”

    She also expressed the most devastating moment about the loss.

    “Just waking up after the procedure was over and just having this hallow feeling inside because you know that the life that was in you is no longer there. You never did get to see your baby or say those goodbyes or anything.”

    Jessa also said her husband and mother were there to comfort her immediately following the procedure.

    Jessa married Ben on Nov. 1, 2014. The couple welcomed their son Spurgeon Elliott a year later on Nov. 5, 2015, and another boy, son Henry Wilberforce, on Feb. 6, 2017. On May 26, 2019, they became parents to a baby girl, Ivy Jane, and on July 13, 2021, they welcomed their second daughter, Fern Elliana.

    Louis Tomlinson Admits He Was ‘Bitter’ About One Direction Breakup: ‘It Just Felt Like Another Loss To Me’

    By Anita Tai.

    Louis Tomlinson says One Direction’s split left him “mortified”.

    Opening up about the breakup in 2015, the musician said it took time for him to process the event.

    “When One Direction split up, I was mortified, I was absolutely gutted,” he recalled to The Times. “I was a bit bitter, I suppose because it just felt like another loss to me. But I’ve a better understanding of things now, and there’s not as much anger. It is what it is.”

    The band was comprised of himself, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Liam Payne, and was originally formed on the U.K. competition show “The X Factor” by judge Simon Cowell in 2010.

    They were an immediate smash hit, becoming a global sensation overnight.

    In 2015, it came crashing to a halt, however, when the band announced they were going on hiatus. The following year, Tomlinson’s mother Johannah Deakin died from leukemia. Two years later, his 18-year-old sister Félicité died from overdose.

    While the 31-year-old wasn’t sure if he was at a point where he could meet his bandmates again, he said he could see a reunion in the future.

    “Getting back together at some point is hard to imagine right now,” he continued. “But I’d be surprised if we lived out our lives and didn’t have a moment where we had a reunion, or whatever you want to call it. I’d be up for that.”

    He added, “I do miss the boys and I do definitely miss being one of the five, but I like doing my own thing too. It was time.”

    After leaving the group, like many of his former coworkers, Tomlinson has embarked on a successful solo career as a musician. He’s released two solo albums, 2020’s Walls and 2022’s Faith in the Future, the latter of which hit no. 1 in the U.K. and no. 5 in the U.S.

    Still, he couldn’t help but compare himself to Styles, who recently won two Grammys and a Brit award.

    “Well, it’s not a surprise is it?” Tomlinson said. “We were always aware that Harry fit that mold, and it’s been an amazing thing to watch. Envy? At the start maybe, when I was trying to find my feet, but it’s never healthy to cross-reference your own success with others is it?”

    Reflecting on his own self-worth and success, he added, “These days I’m learning to elevate myself in those moments when I have to. I didn’t know how to do that before, but now? Now I know I f—king can.”

  • Bethenny Frankel Gets Emotional Over Her POTS Syndrome In Tearful Post

    Bethenny Frankel Gets Emotional Over Her POTS Syndrome In Tearful Post

    By Zach Seemayer‍, ETOnline.com.

    Bethenny Frankel is getting candid with her followers about her struggle with POTS syndrome, and how it has her afraid for her future with her daughter.

    Frankel took to TikTok on Thursday where she shared a series of makeup-free videos, and explained how she’s been struggling with her health in recent years.

    “This is a disorder that has really gotten much worse since COVID,” Frankel said in one video, referring to her condition, which she says is Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome, an illness that some believe may be an autoimmune disorder.

    In another post, in which Frankel is fighting back tears, the TV personality and business mogul explained, “My real [fear] is the terror of not being healthy for my daughter. That’s the biggest thing.”

    “Who cares about the rest of it? I just want to be healthy for her. I want to go on Aspen vacations and take her snowboarding,” Frankel shared. “I want to live a long life, because I had a child later in life.”

    @bethennyfrankelI never do this but I don’t want to seem like I always have it under control. I definitely don’t.♬ original sound – Bethenny Frankel

    Frankel is a mom to 12-year-old daughter Bryn — whom she shares with ex-husband Jason Hoppy.

    “I am absolutely scared, because I don’t like that I do absolutely everything to be completely healthy, and still sometimes this thing is winning,” Frankel added. “And it’s upsetting.”

    By Becca Longmire.

    Helen Mirren suffered an accident while doing her own stunts on “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”.

    The actress, who plays Hespera in the sequel to the 2019 flick, tells Graham Norton on Friday’s episode of his talk show that she really wanted to get in on the action herself.

    The 77-year-old recalls, “I did some of my own stunts, but I broke my finger.

    “I was incredibly brave and didn’t say anything or complain because I wanted to be a real ‘stunty’ person.”

    “We are angry goddesses wearing unbelievably heavy costumes. It was very hot and uncomfortable and in fact Lucy (Liu) said at the end of the first day’s shooting, ‘They are trying to kill us’ in all seriousness.

    “I wanted to do it because I loved the first ‘Shazam’. It was sweet and funny. I am not a big superhero type person, but I loved the idea of it and happily signed up for the second one. It is great.”

  • A Breakdown Of Kevin Costner’s Alleged ‘Yellowstone’ Drama Behind The Scenes

    A Breakdown Of Kevin Costner’s Alleged ‘Yellowstone’ Drama Behind The Scenes

    By Zach Seemayer, ETOnline.com.

    “Yellowstone” is reportedly in limbo amid behind-the-scenes tension between Kevin Costner and creator Taylor Sheridan. As the show’s diehard fans wait to see how the alleged drama will shake out, ET is taking a look at the supposed rift and what lead to up to it.

    ET sat down with reporter Matthew Belloni, founding partner of Puck News and the first to report on the on-set challenges and disagreements that have reportedly plagued the show during its fifth season.

    According to Belloni, the drama is rooted in several possible factors, including scheduling disagreements, pay disputes and personal friction between different key players.

    “Kevin Costner is famously headstrong and he has been at odds with Taylor Sheridan, the creator of this show, for months now over the days that he’s gonna be shooting for the next part of the season,” Belloni said.

    According to a report earlier this month, Costner allegedly requested one week of shooting to complete the remaining eight episodes in the back half of season 5, which is slated to air in the summer. His request was allegedly denied by Paramount Network.

    Belloni told ET that some feel Costner has “a pretty big ego” and that this likely “came to the forefront on “Yellowstone”, especially recently, as has a passion project that he’s wanted to do for a long time — to direct this movie called “Horizon”, which is a western that he’s directing and starring in.”

    “He really wanted to put that in front of ‘Yellowstone’, and the  producers of ‘Yellowstone’ said, ‘Hey, the show is your first priority, we’re paying you a lot of money to do this show.’ And Kevin just was very headstrong and wanted his way,” Belloni stated. “This was a fight that has been playing out for the past few months now behind the scenes.”

    On Wednesday, Costner’s attorney, Marty Singer, released a statement to ET denying reports about Costner’s schedule request.

    “The idea that Kevin was only willing to work one week on the second half of season 5 of ‘Yellowstone’ is an absolute lie. It’s ridiculous,” Singer stated. “As everyone who knows anything about Kevin is well aware, he is incredibly passionate about the show and has always gone way above and beyond to ensure its success.”

    However, there have also been reports that Costner is unhappy with having to work outside of his established shooting period.

    “The way ‘Yellowstone’ is shot is that Costner comes to the set for a certain period of time,” Belloni said. “And he is taking the position that, for anything outside of his contractually obligated time during shooting, he should be paid extra for it. But in Hollywood, it’s sort of an unwritten rule that you promote your show or your movie when it comes time to do that.”

    “Costner was asking for extra money to promote his show and that was seen by producers as a little bit of a money grab for a guy who was paid extraordinarily well for his services,” Belloni said.

    In July 2022, Variety reported that Costner is the highest-paid actor on TV, making well over $1 million per episode.

    “According to my sources, Costner makes about $1.2 million per episode for ‘Yellowstone’, and that’s in addition to an overall deal that he has which pays him extra money,” Belloni said. “So he makes more than $20 million a season if it goes 16 episodes, as is planned this season.”

    “If ‘Yellowstone’ is picked up for a 6th season, and Costner is on the show for the 6th season, he will get $1.5 million per episode,” Belloni said, citing Costner’s contract and seniority on the show.

    However, it’s still very much up in the air as to whether or not another season will happen, or what will even happen with the remaining episodes in season 5.

    “‘Yellowstone’ is really in limbo right now until they can figure out whether Costner is coming back or, more likely, whether he’s going to be written out of the show,” Belloni stated. “Once that determination is made, they can finish writing the second half of this season, shoot it, and it will likely air in the fall.”

    “What makes this so dramatic, and potentially so financially meaningful, is that ‘Yellowstone’ is the No. 1 show on television when you look at viewership,” he continued. “It’s also spun off all of these spin-offs and they have plans for many more of these shows — and Costner is the anchor of all of it.”

    In the wake of the success of “Yellowstone”, Sheridan also created two prequel series — “1883” and the follow-up series “1923”, which each tell the stories of different generations of the Dutton family — of which Costner plays the current patriarch.

    That being said, Belloni feels it’s unlikely Costner and the producers of “Yellowstone” will likely be able to move past the tension in the long run.

    “I think the negativity right now has gotten to a point where it’s going to be very difficult for him to come back to the show,” Belloni said. “If I had to bet, I would say that he’s probably going to leave and that the show will end and they will do a new version of ‘Yellowstone’ starring Matthew McConaughey, some other actor… maybe they end it entirely and start fresh with new people. But my guess is that the version of Yellowstone that we know is probably going to end with this season.”

    Fans learned in early February that McConaughey was in talks to star in a new “Yellowstone” series, which would serve as a bridge during the transitional period, according to multiple reports.

    A spokesperson for Paramount Network told ET in a statement at the time, “We have no news to report. Kevin Costner is a big part of ‘Yellowstone’ and we hope that’s the case for a long time to come. Thanks to the brilliant mind of Taylor Sheridan, we are always working on franchise expansions of this incredible world he has built. Matthew McConaughey is a phenomenal talent with whom we’d love to partner.”

  • Kelsea Ballerini’s Ex-Husband Morgan Evans Shares Statement Ahead Of Her Tell-All ‘Call Her Daddy’ Interview

    Kelsea Ballerini’s Ex-Husband Morgan Evans Shares Statement Ahead Of Her Tell-All ‘Call Her Daddy’ Interview

    By Paige Gawley, ETOnline.com.

    Morgan Evans is speaking out ahead of ex Kelsea Ballerini‘s tell-all interview. One day before the release of Ballerini’s interview on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, Evans took to Twitter to react to her forthcoming claims.

    “It’s really sad for me to see this person, who I spent so much of my life with, and loved with all my heart, saying things that aren’t reality and that leave out what really happened,” Evans tweeted. “She knows I’m not the type of guy to speak on those things publicly. If this is what she needs to heal, I hope it helps.”

    “All I ask is that if you’re on my pages, please don’t be mean,” he continued. “Don’t be mean to Kelsea, don’t be mean to each other. Life’s too short.”

    Evans’ tweet came after the teaser for Ballerini’s podcast interview was released. In the teaser, Ballerini tells host Alex Cooper that she “didn’t want to have a wedding” and had sworn to herself that she “would never get married.”

    Despite that, Ballerini and Evans tied the knot in 2017. Then, in August 2022, Ballerini confirmed that she had filed for divorce from Evans.

    “I think he loved me more at 23, and I loved him more at 29,” she explains in the teaser.

    Then, Ballerini acknowledges that her and Evans’ divorce, which was settled in October 2022, got nasty.

    “As he’s putting out a song about being blindsided, he’s taking half the house he didn’t pay for,” Ballerini says, seemingly alluding to Evans’ track, “Over For You.”

    “How was I married to this person for this long and I had no idea that that bit of character was tucked within that human being?” Ballerini questions.

    The teaser then moves to Ballerini’s current love life, with Cooper asking the country star how she knew she was ready to date again.

    “Oh, God. Am I ready to date again?” she asks. “I’ve never really dated. I don’t know how it works.”

    As for if she’s single, a giggly Ballerini admitted, “Am I single? Gosh. Nope.”

    Ballerini sparked romance rumours with Chase Stokes in January.

    “Chase feels like a new, exciting crush for her. Their connection has surprised people close to her, but her loved ones are all really happy for her because she has had the biggest smile on her face,” a source told ET shortly thereafter. “Kelsea and Chase are having a great time together.”

    From there, the pair were seen hugging at the airport and in bed together. Then, after Ballerini was announced as a musical guest on “Saturday Night Live”Stokes gushed about the country star in an interview with ET.

    “I mean she’s the best,” Stokes told ET of Ballerini. “I’m so excited for her and everything happening in her career right now.”

    “It’s philosophically helpful and uplifting to remember that romantic love is a myth and quite dangerous,” she said, according to The Daily Mail.

    “We really do have to take it with a massive pinch of salt. To think sensibly about love and the way it can grow is essential,” Thompson continued.

    “Long-term relationships are hugely difficult and complicated,” the actress added. “If anyone thinks that happy ever after has a place in our lives, forget it.”

  • Heather Rae El Moussa Shares Sweet New Pics of Son And Details About ‘Mom Life’

    Heather Rae El Moussa Shares Sweet New Pics of Son And Details About ‘Mom Life’

    Heather Rae El Moussa is living in mommy bliss! On Sunday, the “Selling Sunset” star took to Instagram to share a sweet new picture of her and Tarek El Moussa‘s baby boy, Tristan.

    “New to the El Moussa crew 🥺🤍🤍 Mom life is staring at him non stop because I can’t get enough,” she wrote. “The moment I held him in my arms he became my world. I’m thinking about sharing some things like my breastfeeding experience and how Tay and Bray have been with him so let me know if that’s something you guys want to hear or if there’s anything else 🥰.”

    Next to the caption was a series of pictures featuring Tristan asleep in a bassinet and rocking a onesie that reads, “New to the El Moussa Crew.”

    Tristan, who was born on Jan. 31, joins his older siblings Taylor, 12, and Brayden, 7, whom Tarek shares with ex-wife, Christina Hall.

    Last week, the proud parents announced their son’s name and shared the inspiration behind it.

    “We’d like to introduce Tristan Jay El Moussa to the world 🤍 6:55am 1-31-23 7lbs 7oz. Tristan was the name that Tarek was supposed to have, Jay is my dads middle name & 4 generations of Jay,” Heather wrote alongside a post of her, Tristan and Tarek in the hospital — following his birth.

    Heather also revealed that they had “some scary moments leading up to Tristan entering the world.”

    Heather said that she was four days past her due date at a doctor’s appointment when she was “rushed” to the hospital after their son’s movements in the womb had slowed down. Once she arrived at the hospital, Heather had to have medical interventions to help labour along.

    “It all happened really fast. Tristan’s heart rate was dropping very low every time I’d push and was staying low. Which was terrifying,” Heather wrote. “My doctor told me that we had to get him out right away. I had four more pushes and to give it my all and she was going to use a vacuum to help get him out fast or otherwise we would have to do an emergency C-section.”

    Heather noted that Tarek was by her side, talking her through the entire delivery.

  • Behati Prinsloo Posts 1st Pics With Husband Adam Levine Since Welcoming Baby No. 3

    Behati Prinsloo Posts 1st Pics With Husband Adam Levine Since Welcoming Baby No. 3

    By Zach Seemayer‍, ETOnline.com.

    Look who it is! Behati Prinsloo is sharing some fun snapshots with husband Adam Levine.

    The model took to Instagram on Friday to share a slideshow of snapshots — one of which showed her playing what appeared to be a basketball arcade game with the Maroon 5 front man.

    The snapshots come just over two weeks after the former Victoria’s Secret model gave birth to the couple’s third child together.

    It’s unclear when the photos were taken — although Prinsloo shared some similar snapshots set in an arcade back on Valentine’s Day.

    In late January, ET confirmed that Prinsloo and Levine had welcomed their third child.

    After tying the knot in July 2014, the couple became parents first with now-6-year-old daughter Dusty, born in 2016, followed by 4-year-old daughter Gio, born in 2018.

    Shortly after Prinsloo’s pregnancy news broke in 2022, Sumner Stroh came forward claiming she had an affair with Levine for about a year and shared screenshots on TikTok of purported social media messages from the singer. In newer messages, he allegedly told her he wanted to name his third child Sumner if the baby was a boy. Other women also claimed that he had sent them messages on social media.

    “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air,” Levine responded in a statement on social media. “I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner. I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period in my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate; I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”

    Continued Levine, “My wife and my family is all I care about in this world. To be this naïve and stupid enough to risk the only thing that truly matters to me was the greatest mistake I could ever make. I will never make it again. I take full responsibility. We will get through it. And we will get through it together.”

    As for Prinsloo, she has kept quiet about the scandal, but was seen arm in arm with Levine while backstage in Las Vegas at The Shaquille O’Neal Foundation’s The Event fundraiser in early October.

  • Ice-T Reacts To Mariska Hargitay Revealing Her Personal Nickname For Him At Walk Of Fame Ceremony (Exclusive)

    Ice-T Reacts To Mariska Hargitay Revealing Her Personal Nickname For Him At Walk Of Fame Ceremony (Exclusive)

    By Miguel A. Melendez‍ , ETOnline.com.

    Tracy Lauren Marrow had one of the coolest stage names when he entered the rap game, dubbing himself with a moniker that’ll forever be synonymous with hip-hop: Ice-T. Nearly 40 years later, Mariska Hargitay has now revealed she has a fresher nickname for him, if not a cooler one.

    The revelation came to light on Thursday at Ice-T’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony. While presenting the legendary rapper, and actor, Hargitay said one of the reasons why she loves Ice-T is because he allows her to call him nicknames. While at the podium, she turned to her “Law & Order: SVU” co-star and practically begged him if she could divulge the nickname only she’s allowed to call him.

    Unable to contain his laughter, Ice-T relented, prompting Hargitay to exclaim, “He lets me call him Icy!” Following the presentation of his newly minted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, Ice-T spoke with ET’s Ash Crossan and glowingly spoke about his “Law & Order” co-star and the friendship they’ve formed over the last two decades-plus working together.

    “Yeah, you know, I told her to be careful with that, but she put me on blast,” quipped the legendary rapper. “I love Mariska. Mariska’s become a close friend. Like I say, how many friends have you had for 25 years that you see every day? You know? So, of course we became close, and we understand we got a job to do and we made a show that’s been on longer than any other show.”

    Ice-T’s never been shy about his upbringing. He grew up some 30 minutes away from where his star was unveiled, a notion that never crossed his mind when he was living a life of crime and trying to make it as a DJ. It wasn’t long before he established himself as one of the preeminent gangsta rappers and cemented his name with the 1991 album O.G. Original Gangster and a Grammy that same year for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for his collaboration on “Back on the Block”. He’d be nominated for two more Grammys before landing his second trophy in 2021 with “Bum-Rush” for Best Metal Performance.

    Ice-T got into acting in the mid-1980s and played his first police detective role in the 1991 thriller “New Jack City”. He’d land numerous roles soon after, but he etched his name in TV lore as Sgt. Odafin “Fin” Tutuola on “Law & Order: SVU”, joining the Dick Wolf-produced show in 2000 and eventually becoming the longest-running male actor in a TV series.

    After such a long road, it’s no wonder Ice-T still can’t believe his name is literally cemented on Hollywood Boulevard.

    “I can’t believe it, you know, where I actually came from, and what I’ve been through, the theory of being on the Walk of Fame is unimaginable,” he tells ET. “I’ve always been that guy that was, you know, in another lane of hip-hop. But then, like, we got to the Grammys, they represent us in the Grammys, and I had my birthday, it’s been a hell of a week for me. So I’m very happy and excited. And I realized that I’m not only getting this star for me, I’m getting it for all my fans and people that have supported me all these years.”

    And those people include Hargitay, the rest of his “Law & Order” colleagues, his wife, Coco Austin, daughter, Chanel, and longtime friend, Ice Cube, all of whom were on hand to celebrate Ice-T’s monumental success.

    Despite the momentous occasion, Ice-T never forgets he’s a father first. He got a kick out of Chanel joining him onstage when her name was mentioned. But if she ever grows up with plans to join the family business, Papa’s got some advice.

    “I mean, you gotta back showbiz with something else,” he says. “She also wants to be a doctor, I’mma tell her to be a plastic surgeon, that ain’t going out of business. You gotta back this, ’cause this is a dream, and when you base something on a dream — ’cause it’s also called the boulevard of broken dreams. … So I want to make sure that if that happens, cool, but have something to fall back on, obviously.”

    Kim Zolciak-Biermann’s Sprawling Georgia Home To Hit Auction Block Following Foreclosure

    By Miguel A. Melendez, ETOnline.com.

    Kim Zolciak-Biermann‘s home in Alpharetta, Georgia will soon hit the auction block following its foreclosure.

    According to a Fulton County notice of foreclosure posted Wednesday, Truist Bank will auction off the mansion on March 7 at the Fulton County Courthouse. According to the notice of foreclosure, as seen by ET, the foreclosure stems from Zolciak-Biermann and her husband, Kroy, defaulting on the $1.65 million loan they took out to buy the home on Oct. 23, 2012.

    ET has reached out to Zolciak-Biermann’s rep for comment.

    According to Zillow, the sprawling 6-bedroom, 9-bathroom home that sits on 1.78 acres is now worth approximately $2,780,900. She gave a tour of the home back in 2015 on her Bravo series, “Don’t Be Tardy”.

    The foreclosure and auction news comes after the former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star took to social media back in November and addressed “haters” suggesting she sold her home for a paltry $257,000.

    “OK you guys, my house has not sold for $257,000,” she said in the video captured by the Instagram account @BravoHousewives (via People).” If you guys think I would let my home that we’ve put millions and millions of dollars into go for $257,000, you’re an idiot, okay? For real.”

    She didn’t end there. Zolciak-Biermann went on to say that she’ll be there for Christmas and that she’d be there in May for her birthday.

    “So, what are you gonna do, haters, when I’m here for Christmas, and I’m here for my birthday in May, and I’m here for all these amazing dates? I’m here until I f***ing want to move, until I decide I don’t want to live here anymore. So, enjoy the view haters. You’re going to be seeing it for quite some time.”

  • Riley Keough Skips ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ Event Amid Trust Dispute With Grandmother Priscilla Presley

    Riley Keough Skips ‘Daisy Jones & The Six’ Event Amid Trust Dispute With Grandmother Priscilla Presley

    By Paige Gawley‍ , ETOnline.com.

    Riley Keough sat out of a recent promotional event. Following Lisa Marie Presley‘s death, and amid a battle over her trust with Priscilla Presley, the 33-year-old actress opted not to attend an event for her upcoming show, “Daisy Jones & the Six”.

    Riley herself revealed that she wasn’t at the London gathering by sharing pics of her co-stars’ night out on her Instagram Story. One post was from Camila Morrone, and featured the model posing alongside Suki Waterhouse.

    “Karen & Camila take London,” Camila captioned the post, referencing her and Suki’s characters in the upcoming Prime Video series.

    Riley shared the post on her Instagram Story and referenced her own character, writing, “Meanwhile, Daisy has FOMO.”

    Josh Whitehouse also documented the evening, sharing a shot of himself with Camila, Suki and Sam Claflin.

    “Great night celebrating the upcoming release of ‘Daisy Jones & the Six’ in London last night with these absolute beauties — what wonderful company I keep,” he captioned the pic. “Thanks for such a great night and so much more to come!”

    Riley shared Josh’s post on her Story, and reacted to the photo with a heart emoji.

    While Riley did not attend that particular event, she has been promoting “Daisy Jones & the Six” in the wake of her mom’s death. In fact, the actress joined TikTok and shared a giggle-filled post with Sam to do just that.

    Personally, though, Riley has been dealing with an ongoing battle over her late mom’s trust. Following Lisa Marie’s death on Jan. 12, her rep confirmed to ET that Graceland, the former home of her father, Elvis Presley, would go to her three daughters: 33-year-old Riley, and 14-year-old twins Harper and Finley.

    It later came to light that Riley and her brother, Benjamin (who died in 2020), were named co-trustees of Lisa Marie’s trust in 2016. However, Priscilla is contesting “the authenticity and validity” of Riley’s appointment, claiming that “there are many issues surrounding” it.

    Amid the legal challenge, Joel Weinshanker, a Managing Partner at Elvis Presley Enterprises, spoke out in favour of Riley maintaining her trustee role in the wake of Lisa Marie’s death. In a follow up statement to ET, Priscilla spoke out about the situation.

    “There is an individual that bought their way into the family enterprise that is trying to speak on behalf of our family. This person is not a representative of Elvis or our family,” she said, without sharing whom she was referring to. “Please allow us the time we need to work together and sort this out. Please ignore ‘the noise.’ As I have always been there for Elvis’ legacy, our family and the fans, I will continue to forge a pathway forward with respect, honesty, dignity, integrity and love.”

    Later, a source told ET that Keough and her grandmother “aren’t communicating at this time.”

    “It has been a very tense and heartbreaking few weeks for both Riley and Priscilla,” the source said. “Riley has been mourning the loss of her mother and is heartbroken to have to deal with a trust dispute with a family member. Priscilla is adamant that she has a valid case and that she will prevail in court.”

    The source added that while “they are both gearing up for court, Riley would prefer to settle this dispute privately.”

    “She is heartbroken that this has turned into a public matter and knows her mother would never want this. Riley is very stressed at the moment and has been trying to keep a positive attitude and outlook ahead of her new series coming out,” the source said. “Her daughter and husband have been keeping her in good spirits.”

    “Daisy Jones & the Six” will premiere March 3 on Prime Video.

  • Supermodel Paulina Porizkova’s House Burned Down After Landing ‘Sports Illustrated’ Cover

    Supermodel Paulina Porizkova’s House Burned Down After Landing ‘Sports Illustrated’ Cover

    By Mona Khalifeh, ETOnline.com.

    Paulina Porizkova is looking back on a scary incident. In a new conversation with Deadspin, the supermodel recalled finding out she had landed the February 1984 cover of Sports Illustrated the same day her home burned down.

    “I was told that I got the Sports Illustrated cover, ’cause you know, you didn’t know until the night before — it was [a] big, big secret thing,” Porizkova recounted. “They called and they said, ‘Guess what? You got the Sports Illustrated cover. And I think that night, or the night right after that, my house burned down to the ground, and then I lost everything I owned.”

    She continued, “I only had an overcoat, a dog and a cat and a passport. And I don’t even recall having underwear, actually.”

    From there, Porizkova, who was the first Central European woman to appear on the cover of the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, had to make her rounds to promote the mag — all while dealing with the aftermath of losing her home.

    “I had to go onto Johnny Carson and all these talk shows, and be like, ‘Yay! Hi, I’m this Sports Illustrated vixen,’” Porizkova shared. “So, interesting balance there.”

    Despite the shocking sequence of events, the 57-year-old model saw her life change overnight, cementing her supermodel status and making her a household name.

    “I did notice that sort of, overnight I had turned from ‘that model with the unpronounceable name to, Paulina Porizkova or Paulina Po — what’s your name?’” She said. “It attached a name to my face.”

    Reflecting on her younger years, Porizkova said it didn’t take much to get SI ready, but these days, a slim fit figure, as she stressed, “takes a lot of freaking work.”

    “I started modeling as a 15-year-old, and so well into my 20s I smoke, drank, did whatever the hell I wanted,” Porizkova recalled. “It was pretty easy. Life was pretty easy at that point. That’s the privilege of youth, that you can kind of do that stuff and get away with it. I can’t get away with it anymore. So, to still be in shape, to be slim, and all that — takes a lot of freaking work.”

    She continued, “So, this is exercising a lot, not eating very much. Taking care of my skin. Using a lot of SPFs, vitamins. Basically, the older you get, the more it takes to maintain. So, I spend more time maintaining my outer self than I’m actually happy with, but then at the same time, I kind of have to, because it’s still who I am. It’s still my job, it’s still what I identify as.”

    “It’s a required amount of work for me to be able to do what I do,” Porizkova added.
