There are few families with more continuing drama than the Chrisleys, the stars of USA's now-defunct "Chrisley Knows Best." Since we've gotten to know Todd and Julie Chrisley and the kids, the family has dealt with guilty verdicts, prison sentences, bombshell affair claims, indictments, a sex tape scandal and more — some of which have had lasting impacts on the reality TV stars. Family feuds are now the least of the Chrisleys' concerns. Join us as we take a deep dive into their scandals, feuds and more family drama, starting with this major news….

While Todd Chrisley and wife Julie Chrisley are serving time in prison, the other Chrisley family members — Chase Chrisley, Savannah Chrisley, Grayson Chrisley, Chloe Chrisley and Nanny Faye Chrisley — are returning to television. On Aug. 14, 2023, People magazine announced that the relatives are working on a new as-yet untitled reality series with Scout Productions, which makes "Queer Eye" and other shows, that will chronicle their lives now.

"We're going to touch on where we're at today, Mom and Dad being gone, how we're coping with it, how we get through it," Savannah said on her "Unlocked" podcast. "Also too, having two kids and all of us stepping in to make sure that they have what they need emotionally, psychologically, physically, all the things, I feel like there's a level of humor to it as well."

On Nov. 21, 2022, Todd Chrisley was sentenced to 12 years for bank fraud and tax evasion while his wife, Julie Chrisley, was sentenced to seven years in prison for the same crimes; both also got another 16 months of probation. Over the summer of 2022, the Chrisleys were found guilty of the financial crimes in federal court. On the June 29 episode of "Chrisley Confessions," Julie finally opened up about their legal woes, saying it's "a telling time for us as a family." She was also keeping tabs on "people who have reached out and … people who haven't reached out." Todd, meanwhile, said the public perception of their family had shifted too. While noting they had many people in their corner, he admitted, "We've dealt with so much negative press here lately, and we've had negative press before, but not like we've had here since the verdict."

In light of Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley's prison sentences, what will happen to son Grayson Chrisley, 16, and granddaughter Chloe, 10? (Todd and Julie had custody.) Enter the couple's daughter Savannah Chrisley, who's taking care of both kids. "[I'm] trying to navigate how you teach two younger children who aren't fully developed yet and … get them to understand the circumstances," she said on the Nov. 21, 2022, episode of her "Unlocked" podcast, which dropped just hours before her parents were sentenced to prison. "I come home Tuesday, and I have custody of a 16-year-old and a 10-year-old, and we spend our first Thanksgiving not as a family."

Following Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley's sentencing, the family's reality TV shows went dark. Page Six reported that "Growing Up Chrisley" and  "Love Limo," a show Todd was set to host, were both axed. "Chrisley Knows Best" also will not air more episodes. Back in May 2022, USA picked up "Chrisley Knows Best" for a 10th season, but Todd and Julie's legal woes threw everything into flux. Still, USA had new episodes banked and those — which were shot before the couple's trial — aired in 2023.

Todd and Julie Chrisley tried to stay strong and even "optimistic" after receiving combined 19-year prison sentences for financial crimes. "Yesterday was a difficult day for the Chrisley family. But Todd and Julie are people of faith, and that faith gives them strength as they appeal their convictions," the couple's attorney, Alex Little, told People magazine on Nov. 22, 2022. The lawyer alleged that prosecutors presented numerous falsehoods during the case. "Their trial was marred by serious and repeated errors, including the government lying to jurors about what taxes the couple paid," the lawyer said. "Based on these issues, we are optimistic about the road ahead." An appeal for home confinement was rejected in the summer of 2023.

_

While some members of the Chrisley family remained quiet about Todd and Julie's prison sentences early on, daughters Savannah Chrisley and Lindsie Chrisley have both spoken out. After the "Chrisley Knows Best" patriarch and matriarch learned their fates, Lindsie posted a video of two girlfriends sitting on a bed. "The best girlfriends, show up in the bad times with hugs and champagne," she wrote as Bruno Mars' "Count on Me" played. Savannah, meanwhile, posted a defiant quote by pastor Kimberly Jones, aka Real Talk Kim. "Noah didn't stop building the ark to explain himself to everyone who doubted and hated on him," the post read. "Keep building your ark. The rain will do the talking." 

_

On Sept. 23, 2022, another legal situation came to the forefront. Todd Chrisley was sued by a former Georgia Department of Revenue investigator who claimed the reality TV star continued to defame her. Amy Doherty-Heinze, who investigated the Chrisley parents for tax evasion, alleged that Todd lied about her on his "Chrisley Knows Best" podcast and falsely accused her of criminal conduct. In the lawsuit, which was obtained by TMZ, Amy said Todd named her twice and "maliciously" accused her of breaking laws during the investigation, even calling for her to be prosecuted. This is actually the second time she's filed a defamation lawsuit against the Chrisley family patriarch, having first done so in 2021. She filed the second lawsuit after he refused to retract his initial statements. Todd doubled down on his critiques of Amy, naming her in another podcast and claiming she "illegally" accessed the Georgia Crime Information Center.

_

A family schism once got so bad that Lindsie Chrisley, Todd Chrisley's daughter from his first marriage, vowed in 2021 to "never" speak to her father again. However, Todd and Lindsie have since mended fences, with Lindsie revealing that her divorce from Will Campbell sparked a father-daughter reunion. "After my divorce stuff had become public, my dad had posted, 'I'm here, I love you, whatever's going on in your life right now I see it,'" she recalled on the "Southern Tea" podcast in July 2022. "That's really more so how we were able to reconnect. [It was] definitely because of my divorce." The reconciliation, she insisted, had nothing to do with her father's legal woes, which you can read about next…

_

After the reality of the conviction settled in, Todd Chrisley finally publicly addressed his legal situation. "It has been a whirlwind. Lot of moving parts, lot of things going on in our lives and a lot of seeing God's movements right now," he said on the "Chrisley Confessions" podcast on June 20, 2022. The family patriarch said he was staying strong but admitted, "It's a very sad, heartbreaking time for our family right now." In thanking fans for their support, he added, "We still hold steadfast in our faith and we trust that God will do what he does because God's a miracle worker — and that's what we're holding out for. It's a tough time right now, but we are grateful for each and every one of you that has taken the effort."

In a federal trial that wrapped up in June 2022, prosecutors claimed Todd Chrisley and Julie Chrisley took out $30 million in fraudulent bank loans to fund their extravagant lifestyle. They were also accused of hiding their reality TV money so they wouldn't have to pay taxes on it. The couple argued that someone else managed their finances, but they were found guilty of criminal bank fraud and tax evasion. Todd and Julie were not remanded to jail when the verdict was handed down.

_

Nearly two weeks after the conviction, Savannah Chrisley broke her silence about the guilty verdict, claiming on Instagram that life is "so cruel." She asked her followers to "be kind," adding, "we're all doing the best we can." In her June 16, 2022, post she insisted, "I will continue to stand by my family and fight for justice. Justice for ourselves and for others that the system has failed." Savannah believes the legal situation will strengthen her family but she also admitted to feeling "let down by God" and that her "relentless prayers have been unheard."

_

The court case was very eye-opening. On May 25, 2022, a salacious bombshell dropped during court testimony amid the Chrisleys' federal fraud trial: Todd Chrisley, the family patriarch, allegedly had a secret affair with his male business partner for about a year in the early 2000s, and the two paid a blackmailer $38,000 in cash after the anonymous person threatened to expose their relationship. Former Chrisley employee Mark Braddock made the claim in court under oath. According to The Insider, Mark told the FBI that he committed bank fraud on behalf of Todd, wife Julie Chrisley and himself, adding that he had feelings for Todd even after their extramarital affair ended. Mark, who was given immunity from prosecution, claimed he created fake documents and submitted them to banks for financial gain. He also said he sent emails and made phone calls impersonating Todd, all with the reality star's knowledge. The men had a falling out in 2012, and Mark admitted to being vengeful.

_

After Todd and Julie Chrisley were found guilty on all counts of criminal bank fraud and tax evasion charges in June 2022, estranged daughter Lindsie Chrisley spoke out, claiming she was "deeply saddened" by the verdict. "I know most of you are expecting to hear from me on my podcasts this week as I took time to be with my family last week," Lindsie wrote on her Instagram Story on June  8. "The verdict is not what I had hoped or prayed for, and I am deeply saddened for myself, my son and my family as a whole." Lindsie has had a very, very strained relationship with her family, but she took the high road in her response. "Please pray for us during this difficult time and know that I will be back when the time is right."

_

The beginning of the drama… On Aug. 12, 2019, Todd Chrisley took to Instagram to let fans know that it wasn't going to be a typical week: The reality TV star shared a family photo and a lengthy caption indicating that he and his wife, Julie, were going to be named in a federal indictment. He said the family was being "blackmailed" by a former employee. He wouldn't "go into details" about the case, he wrote, but it "involved all kinds of really bad stuff like creating phony documents, forging our signatures, and threatening other employees with violence if they said anything." He said that his family has "nothing to hide and have done nothing to be ashamed of. Not only do we know we've done nothing wrong," he explained, but the Chrisleys have "tons of hard evidence" to prove it, he insisted.

_

One day after Todd Chrisley's Instagram post, he and his wife, Julie, were indicted on 12 counts of conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud and tax evasion charges in Georgia. The federal indictment says the family didn't pay income taxes from 2013 to 2016 and used false documents to secure millions in loans. The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia said that "from at least as early as 2007 through approximately 2012, Todd and Julie Chrisley allegedly conspired to defraud numerous banks by providing the banks with false information such as personal financial statements containing false information, and fabricated bank statements when applying for and receiving millions of dollars in loans." On Aug. 14, 2019, the couple surrendered to authorities and pleaded not guilty in an Atlanta court. Their attorney maintained the couple's innocence too. The upside? Despite their arrests, Todd and Julie were still allowed to travel between Georgia and Tennessee to continue to filming "Chrisley Knows Best." In 2022, prosecutors argued that that family lives an extravagant lifestyle that they can't afford, and Todd and Julie defrauded banks to make it appear that they were wealthier than they are.

_

Following the indictment, Savannah Chrisley and Chase Chrisley publicly supported their parents: Both shared a family photo on Instagram with the same caption: "FAMILY." Both also turned off the function allowing followers to comment on their posts.

_

Todd Chrisley's formerly estranged son from his first marriage, Kyle Chrisley, weighed in on the drama and supported his dad. "I've seen the stories about my dad's indictment all over the internet. I know the interview I did bashing my dad OVER A YEAR AGO is being shared on social media," he wrote on Facebook on Aug. 14, 2019. "Honestly, I'm tired of it. You guys don't have the facts and I need to set the record straight once and for all. Everything I said in my [2017 "Good Morning America"] interview was a lie [because of drug addiction issues]. These allegations against my dad are all LIES!" The father and son have had a contentious relationship over the years, but they've made up. Kyle also said sister Lindsie Chrisley and their biological mother, Teresa Terry, were the ones who squawked to authorities about Todd and second wife Julie Chrisley's alleged tax crimes.

_

Lindsie Chrisley, Todd's estranged daughter from his first marriage, saw the allegations that painted her as the government's tipster and she wasn't happy. Her attorney even said that the reality TV family was harassing her. "It was reported that Lindsie was the source of the information that led to her father's arrest. That is untrue, she was not the source of this information," her attorney said in a statement. "Lindsie has been a constant target of lies, harassment and threats from her family and as a result has been distancing herself from the Chrisley family since 2017. Lindsie is currently processing the events that have unfolded. We will continue to cooperate with law enforcement and pray for a just resolution."

_

On Aug. 15, 2019, Lindsie Chrisley — Todd's estranged daughter — entered the picture in another bizarre way. It emerged that earlier in the summer of 2019, she went to police and claimed that her dad and half-brother Chase Chrisley were "threatening and harassing her" and wanted her to lie about an incident believed to involve Todd's taxes. If she refused to do so, she claimed, her dad and brother threatened to release a sex tape in which she was involved. Lindsie — who believes her brother is in possession of the tape — filed a police report in Georgia, but the case there was later dismissed because the alleged threats and harassment happened in Tennessee.

_

Todd Chrisley vehemently denied having any involvement in obtaining an alleged sex tape featuring his estranged daughter, Lindsie Chrisley, but he dropped a bombshell while discussing it on Aug. 15, 2019: Todd claimed she had affairs with stars from "The Bachelorette." "It's heartbreaking and shameful that these kinds of accusations have to be aired in public. We have tried to keep Lindsie's extramarital relationships with Robby Hayes and Josh Murray private for her sake since August of 2016," Todd said in a statement. "Sadly, for reasons we can only guess at, she ran to the sheriff's office to accuse her brother of buying a sex tape of her and Robby, which was a complete lie, and now she's telling more lies about me." He added, "Although our hearts are broken, Lindsie is our daughter and we will always love her." Lindsie's attorney shot back afterward, saying Lindsie was "flabbergasted at the audacity of Todd and Chase Chrisley, who are more focused on attacking my client rather than defending themselves against the allegations of criminal conduct."

_

Former "The Bachelorette" star Josh Murray (pictured), who appeared on season 10 of the dating show where he was star Andi Dorfman's final pick, denied Todd Chrisley's accusations claiming that he and Lindsie Chrisley were sexually intimate. He also threw shade at the family on Aug. 15, 2019. "Lindsie and I have been friends for years. I know Todd and his family are going through some tough times right now and I pray everything works out in their favor," he told E! News. "They should probably focus on how not to be imprisoned for 30 years rather than spreading gossip to try and hurt their daughter. I truly believe they are good people and I wish them the best in however they choose to go about their actions."

_

A week after Todd Chrisley linked his daughter to Robby Hayes, the former "The Bachelorette" star spoke out, squashing the speculation that he and Lindsie Chrisley made a sex tape. "We did not make a sex tape," he said on the "Housewives and Vanderpump" podcast. "I'm not sitting there with a camera aimed down and trying to get the angles. Like, we got caught on the security camera, basically. It was a puppy camera in her friend's living room, the couch we crashed on." Robby added that he and Lindsie are "in the middle of dealing with it."

_

In the wake of the indictments, arrests and extortion claims and denials, "Chrisley Knows Best" was still taping — it was business as usual. On Aug. 15, 2019, Todd Chrisley posted a quote to Instagram that read, "Tough times never last, but tough people do." He later said, "We are getting back to work after this distraction and our show hasn't been canceled , God delivered much clarity yesterday as to those who set a net for us, so the Lord says, 'May the net your enemies cast for you be the same net they become snared in.'"

_

Despite their bad blood, Lindsie Chrisley wished no ill will toward her father. In August 2020, Todd Chrisley announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and had been hospitalized for a few days. After the news broke, a few people sent celebratory messages to Lindsie. "The audacity of some people blows my mind," Todd's estranged daughter wrote on her Instagram Story along with a screenshot of the message. "This is disgusting. My inbox is flooding with similar messages & I'm not here for it. Get right or get off my page." She then warned the person, "Don't make me post your handles. Let's make you 'legendary,'" a reference to their Instagram name.

_

The roller coaster continued in February 2022 after Savannah Chrisley's ex-fiancé Nic Kerdiles threatened suicide. In truth, he might not have made it if not for the Chrisley family. In an Instagram video — in which Nic was flanked by Savannah and Todd Chrisley — he said he was struggling with depression, anxiety and COVID. "I don't know where I was at in my mental state, but between the depression, anxiety, the COVID effects, the medication, the alcohol, I did something that I never thought I would ever do," the former pro hockey player said, thanking his ex and her father for being there to help him cope. Todd and Savannah reportedly rushed to Nic's home as he was contemplating taking his own life. In a 911 call, Todd and Savannah could be heard pleading with Nic, who had a gun. In the Instagram video, Todd said he was glad Nic was "still here" and added, "Mental illness should not be made fun of, should not be taken lightly, and we should do everything in our power to lift those who are struggling up, not pay them to tear someone down."

Music icon ripped for tone deaf comments about her 'mansion, vacation and jewelry' amid Maui wildfires

by Mark Gray Wonderwall

Stevie Nicks' "privileged and self centered" Instagram post regarding the Maui wildfires isn't sitting well with a lot of her fans. 

SilverHub/REX/Shutterstock

Over the weekend, the Fleetwood Mac legend shared a lengthy post about her ties to Hawaii and the town of Lahaina, which burned down last week. Her post, though, touched on her Maui vacation home, a local jewelry shop and a ruined vacation. Considering less fortunate families lost everything in the blaze, Stevie's post wasn't greeted with much sympathy. 

"As I am sure you have heard – the island, Maui, where I own a house I have been staying at since the 80s – and the small village, city, most magical place on earth, Lahaina, burned to the ground over the last few days," she wrote. "And to make the situation worse my young niece, her husband, and their little boy had just arrived for a very needed vacation before she started up her school year (on her way to becoming a psychologist) for 10 days. They had one and a half days of fun and then — the fire started."

Stevie went on to speak about the challenges of getting ahold of her family with communication networks gone due to the fire. 

"My truth was that I wanted a house here just so I could spend time in Lahaina walking the streets; visiting the art galleries – sitting on the rock wall – Most all the opals I wear on my fingers came from a store on Front Street," Stevie said. "I hope the sweet lady who owned that store was able to grab all her opals and run. I hope she made it out."

The singer's home was not affected by the wildfires.

Many of Stevie's 1.4 million Instagram followers dubbed her tone deaf for speaking about her "huge, beautiful house" in Maui. Critics called her "privileged," "self centered" and "insensitive."

"Girl… I love you, but those people are going to have to start over what took generations to build. They weren't on a vacation, and your house didn't burn down. Also…opals?! They had five minutes to evacuate. A kid was treading water for 7 hrs. A family held onto a log while trying to keep their youngest from floating away. Bodies are still being found," one person wrote. 

Another commented, "You could've at least pointed to resources to help all those whose homes are lost instead of just focusing on your family's vacation and your Lahaina experience."

A third critic wrote, "'Lahaina burned to the ground, and to make the situation worse, my niece's vacation was cut short' ?????? I read this several times to try and find a way to make it not sound so bad but… it sounds so bad."

Yet another critic angrily commented, "Stop focusing on your mansion, family vacation and jewelry!"

At least 96 people so far have lost their lives in the fires, making it the deadliest wildfire in the United States in more than a century.

Robin Williams' son shares wonderful tribute on 9th anniversary of comedy star's death

by Marisa Laudadio Wonderwall

Robin Williams' eldest child is honoring his late father with a heartbreaking and loving tribute on the ninth anniversary of the comedy icon's death at 63.

Dave Hogan/Getty Images

"Dad, on the 9th anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering you for your most excellent fashion choices," Zachary Pym Williams wrote on Instagram on Aug. 12 alongside a photo of the Oscar, Grammy and Emmy winner wearing a fun outfit while playing tennis.

"These days are always hard," Zak added, "and I love remembering you for being so very, very YOU. Love you so much!"

The "Mork & Mindy" and "Good Will Hunting" actor was found dead in his California home on Aug. 11, 2014. Authorities confirmed he died by suicide, and an autopsy report released months later further revealed what led to the "Dead Poets Society" actor's tragic passing: He had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder "in which Lewy bodies (abnormal deposits of a protein called alpha‑synuclein) build up in areas of the brain that regulate behavior, cognition, and movement," according to the Lewy Body Dementia Association. The disease — which can't be confirmed with certainty until death — is often misdiagnosed when a person is alive.

That's what happened to Robin, according to his widow, third wife Susan Schneider Williams. "A few months before he passed, he was given a Parkinson's [disease] diagnosis," the artist said at the 2022 Life Itself conference. "But that was just the tip of the iceberg." According to CNN, the "Mrs. Doubtfire" star received the misdiagnosis in May 2014 after experiencing severe memory, movement, personality, reasoning, sleep and mood changes.

Susan called the disease "the terrorist inside my husband's brain" in a 2016 editorial for the journal Neurology in which she opened up about the famed improvisational actor's death "at the end of an intense, confusing, and relatively swift persecution at the hand of this disease's symptoms and pathology."

A few weeks before Zak — who is Robin's only child with first wife Valerie Velardi (Robin also had two kids, Zelda and Cody, with second wife Marsha Garces) — honored his father on the anniversary of his death, he took to Instagram to remember Robin on what would have been the comedian's 72nd birthday — July 21. "Happy 72nd Dad!" Zak captioned a photo of Robin looking at the camera in a still from the 1987 movie "Good Morning, Vietnam." 

"Was remembering how much I used to love that look you'd give," Zak explained. "That look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. Miss you and love you forever!"

'Transformers' actress: I'll expose men's 'secrets' and 'sins' in new book, more news

"Secret" book

Silent no more. Megan Fox plans to expose men's "secrets" and "sins" in her upcoming book of poems. She's set to release "Pretty Boys Are Poisonous," which features more than 70 poems written by the actress, in November. "These poems were written in an attempt to excise the illness that had taken root in me because of my silence," she announced on Instagram. "I've spent my entire life keeping the secrets of men, my body aches from carrying the weight of their sins." The cover of the poem book features a mouth with a pierced lip biting a snake. "My freedom lives in these pages and I hope that my words can inspire others to take back their happiness and their identity by using their voice to illuminate what's been buried, but not forgotten, in the darkness," the "Transformer" actress added. She did not say specify exactly whose "secrets" she plans to expose or whether she'll name names.

Engagement soon?

Amy Robach and T. J. Holmes are thinking about forever nearly a year after they were fired from "Good Morning America" over a consensual workplace romance. "They're in a good place," a source told Us Weekly. "They're moving on from all the negative around the affair and looking toward the future together." The couple has continued to lean on each other in the scandal's wake. Amy and T.J. — who both divorced their previous spouses in the months since their romance went public — "are very happy and laying low," the source said, adding that "now the plan is they do want to move in together and get engaged."

While their personal lives are going well, they are hoping to return to TV soon. "They are still getting paid severance by ABC," a source explained. "So, they're in no rush to get another show. But they're still pitching shows and would like to work together."

Scary situation

Country singer Austin Burke and his pregnant wife, Lexy Burke, are safe after their Nashville, Tennessee, home was inexplicably targeted by a gunman. The up-and-coming singer detailed the scary experience on Instagram on Aug. 7, saying the "entire house rattled" when shots rang out. "Initially, I thought Lexy had fallen and she thought the same about me," he wrote. "Once we realized that we were both physically okay, we looked at our cameras and heard someone load, cock and shoot at our house." Police soon arrived and noticed a bullet hole in the roof line of the home, which was particularly frightening because Lexy, who's somewhat famous on TIkTok, was upstairs and near the roof line at the time of the shooting. TMZ published footage from the couple's video doorbell. Although the gunfire can be heard, the video does not show the shooter. "I wouldn't wish this kind of uneasiness on anyone," the "Crazy, Crazy" singer wrote. Lexy, who gathered a large social media following in 2020 for being a "serial tipper" at restaurants, said they are "still trying to understand what happened."

Affair confirmation

Chris Noth's life and career imploded a year and a half ago when multiple women accused him of rape and sexual assault. Although he continues to maintain his innocence, he is now fessing up to at least some bad behavior: He cheated on his wife. "I strayed on my wife, and it's devastating to her and not a very pretty picture. What it isn't is a crime," he told USA Today. (The "Sex and the City" alum previously called the assault allegations "categorically false.") He went on to explain why he strayed from the marriage: "You're not hurting anybody. No one's going to know about this, and sex is just enjoyable. Suddenly, a lot of people want to have sex with you. It's like, 'Well, I'm not going to get this chance again,'" he reasoned.

Chris lost several acting and sponsorship gigs and was "iced out" by friends after the allegations against him first made headlines. He wasn't able to defend himself, he said, so he stayed mostly quiet on the matter: "There's no criminal court. There's no criminal trial," he said. "There's nothing for me to get on the stand about and get my story out, get witnesses. And there's even more absurd add-ons that are completely ridiculous, that have absolutely no basis in fact."

Now that the drama has died down, he's attempting a comeback: "I'm not going to lay down and just say it's over. It's a salacious story, but it's just not a true one. And I can't just say 'Well, OK, that's it for me' because of that," he said.

Secret surgery

After she was criticized for her weight as a teen, Raven-Symone decided to take matters into her own hands: The "That's So Raven" actress had liposuction and two breast reduction surgeries before she turned 18. "My dad suggested strongly that I should get my breasts reduced," she revealed on a recent episode of her podcast, "The Best Podcast Ever with Raven and Miranda" Recalled the former child star, "He was like, 'So you don't feel bad, is there anything that you want?' I was like, 'Yeah, if I get lipo, will people stop calling me fat?' So I got a twofer. It was just a mess, just being that young and ugh, the pain of it all."

Things didn't go smoothly: Raven had a seizure after the first procedure. She then had "to go back" for a second breast reduction surgery because her breasts were "still too big" after she "gained weight." All these years later, Raven, who's now 37, said she doesn't "regret" the procedures because she fears how large her breasts would be if she hadn't gone under the knife. 

Chaotic marriage

Russell Brand is reflecting on his "chaotic" life during his yearlong marriage to Katy Perry. "Aside from my, like, sort of feelings of affection for Katy, it's a time that I remember as being a little bit chaotic and a bit, for me, I'll speak for myself, a little disconnected," the comedian said during his appearance on "Running Wild With Bear Grylls: The Challenge." At the time, Russell's career was booming after he landed major roles in "Forgetting Sarah Marshall" and "Get Him to the Greek." "Some aspects of it were, like, amazing," he said. "She's an amazing person, and it was kind of incredible to live for a moment in that 'eye of the cyclone' type aspect of fame." Russell and Katy married in October 2010 and split in late 2011. 

Sexuality reveal reactions

Wayne Brady is feeling the love after coming out as pansexual. The "Let's Make A Deal" host revealed his sexuality in an Instagram video on Monday, Aug. 7. "It's scary as hell to say out loud but here it is," he penned. "The people I admire the most are the ones brave enough to be themselves unapologetically." After his post, many of the comedian's famous friends publicly congratulated him in the comment's section. "F R E E D O M looks good on you….," said Niecy Nash, who came out as part of the LGBTQ community in 2020. Joey Fatone commented, "You do you boo ! 🙂 u know I love ya !!!" Alyssa Milano, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Sasha Farber and "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino all commented with supportive emojis.

Jennifer Lawrence and more stars who are fans of this surprising TV network

by Megan Riedlinger Wonderwall
6:28pm PDT, Aug 15, 2023
_

When it comes to TV taste, some big stars are just like us — Bravo superfans! We've rounded up the biggest Bravo enthusiasts in Hollywood, from singers to Oscar winners to a former first lady!

One star who's not scared to flaunt her love for all things Bravo? Jennifer Lawrence! The A-lister — who celebrates her 33rd birthday on Aug. 15, 2023 — has often talked about her obsession with multiple Bravo franchises and has even come face-to-face with some of her favorite Bravolebrities on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" a time or two. She also once recreated the iconic "Vanderpump Rules" intro with some of her friends.

Keep reading to see which other big names love the network…

While stopping by the "B**** Sesh: A Real Housewives Breakdown" podcast, Zooey Deschanel opened up about her obsession with Bravo. She credits flying for work with getting her hooked on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," as it gave her time to start the series over again from the beginning. "This is the lens through which I really understand sports fans… I do enjoy 'Beverly Hills' because it's like my hometown, it's like my team," Zooey explained. As for her top Housewife? "Kyle [Richards] is my favorite," the "New Girl" star revealed. And like the rest of the world, Scandoval was top of mind for her in 2023. "I recently got into 'Vanderpump Rules' because of Scandoval. It has quickly become my life… It's all I care about. If there is a new meme, I can't wait to see it," the relatable star shared.

Mila Kunis is a self-proclaimed huge "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" fan. So much so that she showed off her knowledge of season 9 while interviewing Erika Girardi while guest hosting "The Ellen DeGeneres Show." (Mila knew all about that season's PuppyGate!) She also shared her controversial thoughts about the franchise — she was a big fan of former "RHOBH" star Teddi Mellencamp — on the "Everything Iconic with Danny Pellegrino" podcast in February 2021.

MORE: Bravo's biggest scandals

_

Did you know Rihanna lives for Bravo, just like the rest of us? She famously follows a few "Housewives" personalities including "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" star Heather Gay and "The Real Housewives of Potomac" star Karen Huger. And in July 2021, the singer and beauty mogul repped a shirt on Instagram from "The Real Housewives of New York City" star Leah McSweeney's brand Married to the Mob. 

_

Jon Hamm revealed his surprising Bravo superfan status on "The Howard Stern Show" in September 2022. The "Mad Men" hunk fessed up to watching "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and also weighed in on the drama surrounding Erika Girardi after the Bravo star got herself in hot water for keeping a pair of $750,000 diamond earrings that were given to her by estranged husband Tom Girardi, who's been accused of embezzling money from clients of his former law firm. Jon voiced his opinion on the saga, telling the shock jock, "You just want to shake her and go, 'Honey, they were never yours! Give them back!'"

_

"Jersey Shore" personality Snooki's favorite fellow reality star? That has to be Kyle Richards from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," one of her favorite shows. Nicole Polizzi has tweeted about the franchise in the past and has even received tweets from Kyle herself for her birthday. 

_

Even former first lady Michelle Obama loves herself some "Housewives"! Back in 2012 while stopping by "Live! With Kelly and Michael," she shared that she loves "a little 'Real Housewives' every now and then." 

_

Seth Rogan has a Bravo show that he adores — "Below Deck"! The comedy star shared on "The Tonight Show" that he loved the reality series and said they've asked him to charter a yacht — but he turned it down because he doesn't want to pay. "Bravo is literally sending me emails asking me to pay 40 grand to be on an episode of one of their TV shows." 

_

The one and only P. Diddy considers himself a "an Atlanta Housewives fanatic," he told E! News back in 2011, adding that he also loved the New Jersey franchise, but that his favorite Housewife was "hands down" NeNe Leakes from "RHOA." 

_

Elisabeth Moss watches not one, not two, but "all of the 'Real Housewives' shows," she admitted to Arrive. She also appeared on "Watch What Happens Live" in May 2021 and talked all about her deep love for "The Real Housewives of New York City" specifically. 

_

This one might come as a shock — but back when Oscar winner Eddie Redmayne was filming "The Theory of Everything," he'd unwind with a little bit of "Housewives"! Yep, the actor told Us Weekly he would "come home from trying to pretend to know about astronomy and physics all day and turn on 'The Real Housewives'" while shooting the Stephen Hawking biopic. 

_

Chloe Grace Moretz is a Bravo superfan! Yep, during appearances on "Watch What Happens Live," she's fessed up to her addiction and in 2018 told W Magazine that she loved the network and was particularly obsessed with "Southern Charm." 

_

Andy Cohen's supportive pal Anderson Cooper of CNN fame is also a Bravo fan. He's been vocal about his favorite Housewife — "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star NeNe Leakes — in the past. 

_

When it came time to shoot her music video for "G.U.Y." back in 2014, Lady Gaga tapped the stars of one of her favorite TV shows, "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," to star in it. 

_

Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth's love of Bravo doesn't stop at "Housewives" — she's a huge "Vanderpump Rules" fan too. She even stopped by former star Stassi Schroeder's podcast back in 2016 and talked about how she was a fan of the reality star. 

_

Jerry O'Connell is a well-known Bravo enthusiast — he even had his own show on the network for a time, "Bravo's Play by Play," which reviewed crazy Bravo moments. The actor is a frequent "Watch What Happens Live" guest who shows off his knowledge of all things "Housewives" and more. 

_

Sarah Paulson is a diehard Bravo fan. Despite being known for her more highbrow roles in projects like "Mrs. America" and the "American Crime Story" and "American Horror Story" franchises, the talented actress also loves to devour Bravo series in her downtime.

NFL star watches his English soccer club play for the very first time: Stars who own sports teams

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
7:00pm PDT, Aug 14, 2023
_

Retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady became a minority owner in Birmingham City, an English soccer club, in August 2023 after entering into a partnership with U.S.-based Knighthead Capital Management, which completed its takeover of Birmingham City the previous month. The seven-time Super Bowl champ — seen here attending his first Birmingham City game at St. Andrew's stadium on Aug. 12, 2023 — is not just a co-owner but also chair of the team's advisory board.

Tom, however, is hardly the only star who's opened his wallet for a sports team…

Game on! Michael Jordan bought the majority ownership stake of the Charlotte Hornets team in 2010 for $275 million. In June 2023, he sold his majority stake for $3 billion, according to reports. The much-richer hoops GOAT — who's the subject of the 2023 movie "Air" — now owns a minority stake in the NBA franchise.

_

Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are known primarily for being actors, but back in 2021, the pals decided to dip their toe into a different arena: The Hollywood stars bought struggling soccer team Wrexham AFC, the oldest soccer club in Wales, for a reported $2 million. "We don't know anything about running a football club," Ryan admitted to Men's Health, but he and the "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" actor dove in and learned.

Two years later in April 2023, a Wrexham home-field victory clinched the National League championship with a 3-1 victory against visiting Boreham Wood — securing their promotion to the next tier in British football, League Two — the English Football League, for the next season. (Wrexham hasn't played in that high a tier in 15 years.) "Everything I own smells like champagne, beer and grass. I'm still somewhere between giggling and sobbing. This town and this sport is one of the most romantic things on earth. Thank you, @Wrexham_AFC," a joyful Ryan captioned a series of photos of the celebrations on Twitter.

Fans of the actors — and of Wrexham — got to witness much of the rebuilding journey in the 2022 FX docuseries "Welcome to Wrexham," which chronicles the actors' ownership of the then-fifth-tier Red Dragons.

Marc Anthony and then-wife Jennifer Lopez became minority owners in the Miami Dolphins in 2009. When they divorced a few years later, J.Lo's shares were transferred to her ex's name. (Fun fact: Fergie, Gloria Estefan and Venus Williams and Serena Williams are also minority owners of the NFL team.) J.Lo and former love Alex Rodriguez made an attempt to become owners of the New York Mets, but the finance group they put together dropped out after billionaire Steve Cohen was granted exclusive negotiation rights. He soon bought the baseball team for a record $2.4 billion.

Back in 2005, Usher reportedly invested $9 million to acquire part of the Cleveland Cavaliers. He even celebrated with the team on the court after it won the NBA Finals in 2016. "I know I have the talent to entertain," he told Forbes shortly after acquiring his stake. "Now I just want to be a great businessman."

_

Angel City FC of the National Women's Soccer League might have the most star-studded investment group of all time. Natalie Portman was among the founders of the team that first took the field in April 2022. Since then, a never-ending cascade of celebrities have joined the ownership group as investors including Eva Longoria, Gabrielle Union, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Garner, Uzo Aduba, Jessica Chastain, America Ferrera, Becky G, Sophia Bush and James Corden. A trove of well-known athletes are also apart of the ownership group including Mia Hamm, Abby Wambach, Shawn Johnson, Candace Parker, P.K. Subban and Lindsey Vonn.

_

Bill Maher was once a minority owner of the New York Mets, as he was part of an investment group that paid $20 million for a small stake in 2012. According to reports, the HBO host tripled his money when Steve Cohen purchased the baseball team for $2.4 billion in 2020.

_

David Beckham has gone from superstar soccer player to superstar soccer owner. Back in 2018, Miami was awarded a Major League Soccer franchise, and David was a major part of the ownership group. He's a co-owner of the team along with two others. It's not known how much of the squad David owns, but he increased his ownership stake in 2021. 

_

In 2008, music star Michael Bublé was named a minority owner of the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League. A fanatic about his team, Michael has often spoken about the squad in media interviews. His team was actually in the WHL playoffs in 2022, but Michael had committed to presenting at the Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas so couldn't cheer them on in person. "I will have my phone and I will be listening to the play-by-play," he told Global News Morning. Of his ownership, he once told The Hockey News, "I have no intention of being a mascot, understand? I don't want to talk about other celebrities in other sports, but… If I do this, it is because I really love the game, I love the business and I want to be a part of that. I don't need to be a mascot sitting in the seats."

_

Back in 2011, Will Smith and wife Jada Pinkett Smith bought a minority stake in the Philadelphia 76ers basketball team. There have been reports that the duo owns the majority stake in the company, but those rumors have been proven false. 

_

We don't often associate Elton John with sports, but the Rocketman is a huge soccer fan and a former club owner. Back in 1976, Elton bought an ownership stake in Watford F.C. Although he sold his shares in 2006, he's regarded as Watford's "Honorary Life President."

_

The price was right for Drew Carey to join an ownership group of the Seattle Sounders FC expansion club in 2007. The comedian has never said how much of the soccer team he owns, but once noted that his stake is "large enough to have a voice but not enough to have final say." (Reports claim he owns 7.5% of the team.) Other part-owners of the Sounders: Russell Wilson, Ciara and Macklemore. 

_

Don't accuse Bill Murray of being a lackluster baseball fan. Often seen at Chicago Cubs games, the actor is part owner of multiple minor league baseball teams including the St. Paul Saints, the Charleston RiverDogs, the Hudson Valley Renegades and the Brockton Rox.

_

It's called Rahal Letterman Racing for a reason. In 1997, David Letterman purchased a stake in Bobby Rahal's racing team. Bobby is a former Indianapolis 500 winner. Dave is from Indiana, where racing and basketball are basically a religion.

_

After he and then-fiancé Jennifer Lopez failed to buy the Mets, Alex Rodriguez bought an ownership stake in two franchises. Sports Illustrated reported that A-Rod and a business partner agreed to a $1.5 billion deal to purchase the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves and the WNBA's Minnesota Lynx in 2021. Per the deal, the two men will be controlling owners in 2023.

_

There was a time when George W. Bush was a fixture at Texas Rangers games. The reason: He was not only a fan of the team but a part-owner and managing general partner for five years. W. sold his shares — reportedly for $15 million — in 1998 before running for president. His initial investment in the MLB team was said to be $800,000.

_

JAY-Z once famously owned a percentage of the Brooklyn Nets NBA team, but he had to sell his stake in 2013 after becoming a sports agent with Roc Nation Sports. 

_

Rock star Jon Bon Jovi was a co-majority owner of the Philadelphia Soul, an arena football team, from 2004 to 2008. The AFL franchise won the league championship in 2008. Bandmate Richie Sambora was a minority owner. 

_

Justin Timberlake became a part owner of the Memphis Grizzlies basketball team after joining the Tennman Group LLC in 2012. According to Yahoo!, JT paid $5 million for a 2.84% ownership stake in the team.

_

Before Michael Jordan took over as owner of the Charlotte Bobcats in 2010, Nelly had a say in the club: The rapper had a stake in the NBA team from 2004 to 2010.

_

Michelle Williams will always be known for being a member of Destiny's Child, but she's known as a boss in Chicago. In 2006, the singer was announced as a minority owner of the WNBA's Chicago Sky.

Former power duo's 17-year-old performs at famous stepdad's bar: See singers and musicians following in their rock star parents' footsteps

by Megan Riedlinger Wonderwall
4:35pm PDT, Aug 14, 2023
_

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree… or should we say the pick doesn't fall far from the guitar? After growing up with rock stars for parents, some celebrity children have opted to follow in their mom or pop's musical footsteps. We're rounding up some of the rock 'n' roll nepo babies who are now making music of their own…

Kingston Rossdale — the eldest son of No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani and her first husband, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale — took to the stage to give a surprise performance at stepfather Blake Shelton's bar and live music venue, Ole Red, in Oklahoma on Aug. 11, 2023. (See it on TikTok.) Though the then-17-year-old plays guitar and has been in bands with friends, he just sang — solo — for this mini-show. "He's singing and writing and playing. It's just a really fun time to be around him," Kingston's father told Yahoo Music in 2020.

Elijah Hewson — the son of U2 singer Bono and wife Ali Hewson — plays guitar and sings in Inhaler, which he and some schoolmates formed in 2012. The Dublin-based group released a slew of singles before dropping their first full-length album, "It Won't Always Be Like This" — which debuted at No. 1 on the U.K. and Ireland music charts — in 2021. They've been touring ever since, performing at festivals including Lollapalooza and Glastonbury.

Is it any surprise that Metallica's James Hetfield spawned another rock star? His son with estranged wife Francesca, Castor Hetfield, is the drummer for the band Bastardane, a hard-rock trio with a heavy-metal influence like his pop's band. He's seen here performing at the 2022 BottleRock Festival in Napa, California.

Legendary Mexican American rock musician Carlos Santana's middle child, daughter Stella Santana, inherited her father's passion for music. (Perhaps her grandfather's too: Her mother is Carlos's ex-wife Deborah King, whose father was blues musician Saunders King.) The singer-songwriter chose a different genre than her dad — R&B — and released her debut album, "Selfish," in 2016.

Kaya Stewart auditioned on "American Idol" (her episode aired in March 2023) with an original song called "This Tattoo," delivering a killer performance that led judges Katy Perry, Lionel Richie and Luke Bryan to send her on to Hollywood. Kaya's father, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Dave Stewart — who's best known for his work as one-half of the Eurythmics — accompanied his daughter on guitar as she sang her heart out. But during Hollywood Week, which aired in April 2023, Kaya got sick. "I have been trying to push myself and keep going … [but] I realized that I wasn't able to give 100%," she explained before announcing she was dropping out of the competition.

At just 15, Wolfgang Van Halen scored a pretty cool gig: He played bass for dad Eddie Van Halen's rock band Van Halen. Wolf, whose mother is actress Valerie Bertinelli, played with the group thorough 2020, the year his father passed away from cancer. He also performed with the heavy metal group Tremonti from 2012 to 2016 and more recently started up a solo project, Mammoth WVH, in 2021.

_

Lola Lennox is a singer-songwriter with an impressive pedigree: Her mom is Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox. One listen to her music and you'll note a resemblance in their strong voices. The talented singer, who's one of Annie's two daughters with second husband Uri Fruchtmann, released her debut single in 2020 and has since put out a duet with her mom.

_

Both of John Lennon's sons, Julian Lennon and Sean Lennon, make music like their late father. Julian, whose mom is John's first wife, Cynthia Powell, got his first taste of the music industry at 11 when he played drums on his dad's album "Walls and Bridges." He went on to release his debut album, "Valotte," in 1994 at 21 and scored a best new artist Grammy nod in 1985. The Beatle's younger son, Sean — whose mom is John's second wife, Yoko Ono — also makes music like his mom dad. Sean's released two solo albums, "Into the Sun" in 1998 and "Friendly Fire" in 2006, and has been a member of various bands including one with his mom — the Yoko Ono Plastic Ono Band from 2009 to 2015.

_

Creedence Clearwater Revival founder John Fogerty passed his love of music down to his sons. Tyler Fogerty and Shane Fogerty, from John's second marriage to Julie Kramer, have a band called Hearty Har. In 2022, they hit the road with their dad on the "Travelin' Band Family Tour."

The group consists of pure rock royalty: Chynna Phillips, who's the daughter of John Phillips and Michelle Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas; and Carnie Wilson and Wendy Wilson, the daughters of Beach Boys legend Brian Wilson and his first wife, singer Marilyn Rovell of The Honeys. The trio dominated the airwaves in the wake of their 1990 debut album with hits like "Hold On" and scored five Grammy nominations.

Zak Starkey counts The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr as his dad — but instead of using the shortened version of their given last name like his famous father does, he opted to use the full surname. Like Ringo, Zak — whose mother was Ringo's first wife, hairdresser Maureen Cox — Zak has found success as a drummer: He's performed and recorded with The Who since 1996 and has worked with other major acts like Oasis, Johnny Marr and the Waterboys.

_

Jakob Dylan made a name for himself as the frontman of the Wallflowers, who put out their first album in 1992 and blew up in 1996 with the release of hits like "One Headlight." They won two Grammys and have continued to make music over the years, releasing their most recent album, "Exit Wounds," in 2021. Jakob is music icon Bob Dylan's youngest child with his first wife, Sara Lownds.

_

You can probably guess who James McCartney's wildly famous father is just by looking at him! James bares a striking resemblance to dad Paul McCartney. He's the only son from the Beatle's union with late wife Linda McCartney, a photographer and Paul's bandmate in Wings. James has released two EPs and two albums since his first offering came out in 2013 and also contributed to some of his parents' solo albums.

_

Nicholas Collins' dad is the one and only Phil Collins and his mom is the Genesis drummer-vocalist's third ex-wife, Orianne Cevey. Nicholas got his professional start on the drums when he filled in for his dad during one of Phil's tours and went on to start his own band, Better Strangers. Though his vibe is more alt-rock than Genesis's work or Phil's solo stuff, it's obvious where he got his talent!

_

Layla Brooklyn Allman has music in her blood — her dad is the late Gregg Allman of the Allman Brothers Band and her mother is former radio journalist Shelby Blackburn. Instead of following in her dad's blues-rock style, Layla opted to go a more metal route. Her band, Picture Me Broken, formed in 2005 and had one of their songs featured in the popular video game "Rock Band 2."

_

If your dad is a Beatle, it's only natural to gravitate toward music. Dhani Harrison — the only child of George Harrison and second wife Olivia Arias, who worked for A&M Records in the '70s — was even named after the sixth and seventh notes of the Indian music scale! He's been a part of multiple music groups — including indie rockers thenewno2 and the rock trio Fistful of Mercy — and has collaborated with a wide range of artists. He was featured on a Wu-Tang Clan track, "The Heart Gently Weeps," Perry Farrell's solo album "Kind Heaven" and collaborated with Tom Petty, Jeff Lynne and Prince for a performance at the 2004 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

_

Lucy Walsh's father is none other than Eagles guitarist Joe Walsh. Joe had Lucy with his third wife, Jody Boyer. Lucy, whose focus is singing, songwriting and playing piano, released her first solo album in 2007. She went on to play piano for Ry Cuming, which led her to tour with big groups like Maroon 5 and One Republic.

Fan goes into labor during Grammy winner's concert then walks to hospital to give birth, more news

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
7:24pm PDT, Aug 13, 2023
A true fan

A pregnant Pink fan went into labor during the singer's Boston concert and then walked to a nearby hospital to give birth. Angela Mercer began feeling strong contractions shortly after she arrived at Pink's "Summer Carnival Tour" stop at Fenway Park, so she called her doctor. The doc advised her to immediately head to Brigham and Women's Hospital, which was only about a mile away. "With all the traffic surrounding Fenway for the concert, Angela had trouble finding a ride to the hospital. She and her family decided the fastest way to get to Brigham and Women's was to walk — and so, decked out in their concert outfits, they made the trek to our hospital where Angela later delivered her son in the Brigham's NICU," a hospital press release obtained by "Entertainment Tonight" explained. The new mom, who was just 31 weeks pregnant, honored the Grammy winner with her son's name: Aycen Hart. (Pink's husband is motocross racer Carey Hart.) Angela, who had traveled from Albany, New York, to see the show, later told CBS Boston, "The doctors don't have any major concerns. It's amazing. He was so early, a lot of things could have gone wrong, so we're in a good spot and just so happy." Raise your glass to this woman!

On-set mishap

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie… Ow, Ow, Ow! Rebel Wilson is healing after she was hit in the face with a prop gun on the set of a new movie. "The stitches have dissolved out from my on-set accident last week," the "Bridesmaids" star shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 9. The incident occurred as she was shooting the film's final scene. "I got hit in the face with the butt of a gun. It was a complete accident and such a shock," the Australian actress said. "Luckily, I'm healing very well so I wanted to say thank you for everybody's well wishes. I hopefully will be totally fine." In early April, Rebel shared an Instagram video that showed off her bloody nose. "NOT the way I wanted to end this movie! 3 stitches and in hospital last night after a stunt accident at 4am," she said at the time.

Health concern

"Pretty Little Liars" star Sasha Pieterse is opening up about her sudden weight gain while appearing on the hit show. "When I turned, it was probably around 15-16, I started noticing a difference in just my metabolism in general," she said on the "Squeeze" podcast. "At 17, I gained 70 pounds in the year, for no reason. There was no explanation for it." Sasha got few answers regarding the sudden and drastic. "I never had a regular period ever and I was just always told by gynecologists that I was just young. Like, 'Don't worry, it'll regulate,'" she said. "It was the most frustrating experience and disheartening because no matter what I did, no matter how well I behaved, no matter how great I treated my body, things were actually getting worse rather than better. It was very, very confusing."

Eventually, she was diagnosed with PCOS, a hormonal imbalance that occurs when ovaries create excess hormones. "The most frustrating part about this is that it's fairly easy to diagnose. It's a hormone imbalance. It's a hormone disease, and it's so easy to see because your testosterone or your estrogen will be really high, you'll have really low vitamin D levels, you'll be deficient in a lot of things," she said.

Canceled

Paramore has canceled the remaining dates of their 2023 tour to prevent "long-term damage" to Hayley Williams' voice. "After my lung infection forced us to postpone 4 shows, I was hoping a week off of performing and a strict medicine routine would allow my body to heal enough to finish off this tour strong," the pop-punk singer wrote on Instagram. "I have been doing everything I can to fight this infection so we wouldn't have to disappoint anyone with more news of disappointments and cancellations."

The group recently performed concerts in Seattle and San Francisco. "After struggling through the last few shows and consulting with my doctor, we're unfortunately realizing that it's past the point of wanting to push through to put on a good show for all of you. I'm now risking long-term damage and I need to pay attention to my body," she continued in her statement. "We are so sorry to all of you who were so patient with us as we rescheduled these and likely rearranged travel plans to still come see us out." Hayley added that she "physically cannot go on."

Love lines

They're heating up! Shakira was first linked to NBA superstar Jimmy Butler in May, and their relationship has apparently grown since then. "They've been getting progressively closer over the past several weeks," an insider told Us Weekly. "Jimmy makes Shakira smile, and she's really enjoying getting to know him on a deeper level."

The romance comes after Shakira's long-term relationship with soccer star Gerard Pique fizzled amid a cheating scandal. The Us Weekly source said the Miami Heat star is "different from other men" Shakira has dated in the past. "She appreciates how he takes the lead in the relationship," the insider added. "He's the one who makes plans with her, pursues her, and it makes her feel valued." Still, "it's too early to tell if there's long-term potential there," the source said.

Friends again?

It's been several years since Taylor Swift and Karlie Kloss reportedly had a falling out, but the model showed her support for her former friend on Wednesday, Aug. 9. Karlie was among the many celebrities who attended the pop star's Los Angeles concert at So-Fi Stadium, but Us Weekly pointed out that she sat in the bleachers and not with other notable names in the VIP tent. Karlie was joined by model Marianne Fonseca and Misha Nonoo, a close pal of Meghan Markle (Meghan attended Taylor's L.A. show the prior evening.) Taylor and Karlie struck up a friendship in 2013 and remained incredibly close for years. They reportedly ended their friendship in 2019, but neither has ever publicly confirmed that rumor.

Rocker takes neighbor to court over tree that's blocking his view, more stars accused of being bad neighbors

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall
10:00am PDT, Aug 13, 2023
_

Rock star Mark Hoppus and his wife took one of their Beverly Hills neighbors to court over a pine tree that's blocking their view. TMZ reported in June 2023 that the blink-182 singer-bassist claimed in court docs that the neighbor's violating rules adopted by their planning commission years earlier that called for her to remove several trees and maintain a particular pine tree so that it didn't grow above 15 feet. Well, now, according to the rocker and his wife, the tree has grown higher than that, plus new trees are growing where others were previously removed, and the neighbor has been ignoring their requests to maintain the vegetation. Mark asked a judge to issue an injunction to force his neighbor to follow the rules and trim the trees — and he also wants her to pay damages. TMZ's take? "File this under: 'The Problems of VERY Rich People.'"

Oprah Winfrey angered her well-to-do neighbors when a boulder wall was installed along a creek to protect her multimillion-dollar estate in Montecito, California. The problem? Neighbors fear the new wall might reroute water onto their nearby properties during heavy storms — which are common in the area and often lead to catastrophic flooding. Plus there are questions as to whether the wall was properly permitted. Noozhawk reported in April 2023 that a local company applied for a permit for the wall from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and used Oprah's Montecito address in the application. Here's the twist: It's unclear whether Oprah authorized the work.

You think your neighbors are bad? Get a load of these! We're taking a look at some of the celebs who will make your neighbors look good!

William H. Macy was accused of "knowingly and intentionally" cutting down his neighbor's trees back in December 2021, sparking a hefty lawsuit. In April 2023, the "Fargo" actor's next-door neighbor Pierce Brown filed a $600,000 lawsuit in Los Angeles County, People magazine reported, alleging that Bill's landscapers crossed his property line and "destroyed and removed or seriously damaged several healthy, decades-old mature pine trees and other vegetation" and also damaged a gate, causing the neighbor "loss of property value, loss of use and enjoyment of his property, a loss of privacy, an increase in noise, as well as emotional distress, irritation, annoyance, and discomfort." In May 2023, the Emmy winner and Oscar nominee hit back in court document denying "each and every allegation" of wrongdoing.

Gigi Hadid has actually called herself "the worst neighbor." According to an interview in Harper's Bazaar, if you live next to Gigi, you should expect to hear some show tunes! In the mag's October 2016 issue, the supermodel revealed that she loves "to sing Broadway show tunes at home, which makes me the worst neighbor, but [it's] a good stress reliever." Her go-to is "Popular" from "Wicked." "That's the only one I'll tell you because I know at some point, someone's going to ask me to do this and that's the only one I'm willing to do publicly," the New York City resident added.

In 2014, Justin Bieber egged his neighbor's house in Calabasas, California, causing $20,000 in damage. And just two years before that incident, Dax Shepard spoke out about what it was like for him and Kristen Bell to live next door to the pop star. "The music and the parties and the paparazzi — I mean, it's like living in Lebanon," Dax quipped during an appearance on "The View."

_

Drake partied so hard that he had to buy the place next door! After reportedly facing noise complaints from a neighbor in the Hidden Hills, California, community where he used to live, the rapper recently shelled out $2.85 million for their home. It was a case of life imitating art: In his and Future's 2015 song "Where Ya At," Drake raps, "I'll buy the neighbors house if they complain about the noise." That lyric could not be more true!

_

In May 2017, Justin Theroux sued his New York City neighbor for $350,000 and punitive damages for what amounted to harassment. While Justin renovated his apartment, he alleged that the neighbor, Norman Resnicow, demanded the actor soundproof his place for an extra $30,000 or he would make his and then-wife Jennifer Aniston's life hell — the actor said Norman, a real estate attorney, harassed construction workers and threatened to cut off water and electricity. Norman, though, said in court docs that Justin was the problem, alleging that he and his wife were "terrorized" by the actor's alleged "rude behavior." The neighbor claimed Justin's dogs barked constantly because they were often left unattended. He also said he often heard the star of "The Leftovers" drop heavy weights on the floor in the early morning hours. It seemed that Justin's neighbors sided with him, as the co-op board at his Greenwich Village building in 2022 asked a judge to boot Norman after they served him with an eviction notice.

Rihanna was sued for being a bad neighbor in 2009. According to The Sun, a neighbor claimed that cars used by RiRi and her chauffeurs loitered on his driveway, blocking it — and that the singer planted tall bamboo plants that blocked his view of Los Angeles. The case was eventually settled.

_

Chris Brown has made headlines because his neighbors — including another celebrity — wanted him to move out of their Tarzana, California, neighborhood! In 2016, Los Angeles Lakers star Nick Young, who lived nearby, shared an Instagram video that showed choppers flying overhead. "Chris Brown, you gotta move. Go on, get away from here!" he pleaded in the clip. During that August 2016, incident, cops showed up to Chris's house after a woman alleged that he was threatening her with a gun. According to TMZ, the R&B star threw a duffel bag containing two guns and drugs out of a window. He was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon and released on $250,000 bail. (Chris denied any wrongdoing.) But this wasn't the only incident! Chris also faced complaints from a Tarzana neighbor for disturbing the peace in May 2016. The neighbor alleged that Chris was riding his ATV and doing doughnuts around their neighborhood. In 2019, he also threw a yard sale that attracted hundreds of fans. This, too, riled the neighbors due to the crowd size.

Taylor Swift made her neighbors angry after she messed with the coastline in their small Rhode Island community in 2013. In order for her to build a massive wall around her home in Westerly, Rhode Island, Taylor had to move some coastline rocks. According to TMZ, her rep pinned the blame on government officials, insisting that they asked the singer to move rocks that had apparently drifted into the ocean back to her property line. No matter the reason, her neighbors were still unhappy because the wall also took away public access that residents had enjoyed for years.

When onetime party girl Paris Hilton was living with ex-boyfriend Doug Reinhardt for five months in 2009, they were too loud for their neighbors in California's Hollywood Hills. After a number of complaints, the LAPD, Los Angeles City Council and L.A. City Attorney got involved and warned them with tickets and arrest threats.

_

David Schwimmer did not make friends in his New York City neighborhood! In 2010, he bought a $4.1 million, five-story East Village townhouse that was built in 1852. The structure was going to be given landmark status, but David tore it down and built a 9,000-square-foot, six-story mansion with an elevator and roof deck. His neighbors showed their anger by spray-painting "Ross is not cool" on the construction site.

Due to an overflowed toilet, Lenny Kravitz found himself in a crappy situation in 2004 when he was sued by Amica Mutual Insurance Company for water damage sustained to the apartment underneath his New York City pad. Lenny was blamed for the "catastrophic water damage" caused by an overflowing toilet that was "blocked, clogged and congested with various materials." The insurance company sued to recoup the $334,000 it had paid to the downstairs neighbor.

Ashley Greene was sued by her neighbors in 2013 after a fire burned through her West Hollywood condo, damaging nearby apartments. The fire, which was caused by a burning candle that was left unattended, was ruled an accident. She was also sued by her doorman, who claimed he was hurt while trying to evacuate tenants. According to TMZ, they settled for an undisclosed amount in 2016.

James Franco's Los Angeles neighbors were so upset with him that they wrote an e-mail to Curbed. The residents, who lived in the same Silver Lake neighborhood, wrote that at first they were "pleased to have Mr. Franco living next door," but their minds soon changed. They said it was like living next to a major production company due to blocked driveways. They also claimed that the front of their house was used for meetings and that they felt like they were being eavesdropped on while walking to their cars.

In 2007, Wes Craven sued Pauly Shore for being a negligent neighbor. The famed director claimed that water from the comedian's home seeped down a slope and damaged his property. Wes also said the property damage caused him "severe emotional distress and anxiety." In the lawsuit, Pauly got the blame for upgrading his home with a pool, spa, landscaping and other improvements that destabilized the land and lowered Wes's property value. Pauly and Wes ended up settling.

Things got ugly between Natasha Lyonne and her Manhattan neighbor in 2004 as Natasha faced charges of criminal mischief, harassment and trespassing.

Super Bowl Halftime Show decision made in wake of scandal involving Grammy winner who was in the running to perform: Report

by Mark Gray Wonderwall

Lizzo will not be performing at Super Bowl LVII amid a flurry of sexual harassment claims being lobbed her way, a new report recently revealed.

The pop star was reportedly one of the frontrunners to perform at the NFL's premiere event, but she's now been dropped from consideration.

"Talks of Lizzo being a part of the Halftime festivities, or performing the National Anthem, are dead now that she is surrounded by scandal," a source told DailyMail.com.

Earlier this month, three of Lizzo's former backups dancers filed a lawsuit alleging that the singer weight-shamed and demeaned them. The women also claim they faced sexual, religious and racial harassment and were subject to false imprisonment. A few more women came forward later with similar allegations and spoke candidly of negative experiences involving the Grammy winner. 

A second source said Lizzo's team is "desperately trying to come up with a strategy to save her sinking ship."

"It is becoming more and more difficult with more people coming forth accusing her of extremely inappropriate acts," the music-industry insider told DailyMail.com. "Lizzo has raked in a massive amount of money but her minute is pretty much up, it seems, and no one knows if she will be able to recover from this. If she speaks out, her statements are shredded. If she stays quiet, she is called a coward. Either way, it does not appear at this moment that she can recover from this."

Because of this, the NFL has seemingly blocked her from being affiliated with the brand.

Details of the lawsuit are salacious. In one instance listed in court documents, the dancers claim they reluctantly visited Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District at Lizzo's insistence out of fear of losing their jobs. "The main event of the night was a club called Bananenbar, where patrons are allowed to interact with completely nude performers. While at Bananenbar, things quickly got out of hand," the lawsuit claims. "Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching [sex toys] launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas." 

On Aug. 3, Lizzo put out a lengthy statement denying the allegations. 

"These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional," she wrote in part.

Playboy founder's widow announces new memoir and warns 'no one is safe,' more news

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
2:30am PDT, Aug 13, 2023
_

Crystal Hefner's memoir about life inside the Playboy Mansion is set to be released next year, and she promises that "no one is safe." The book — titled "Only Say Good Things: Surviving Playboy and Finding Myself" — just might have some people on edge, she told Us Weekly. Although Crystal maintains that the book isn't meant to be salacious, "There are hard stories and people that have hurt me, and they're in there," she said. In some cases, she's changed the names of women or celebrities to protect their privacy. "The stories are very detailed, and there are things that have never been spoken about before," Crystal said, adding that women who lived in the Playboy Mansion were "very catty."

Recently, Crystal — who was married to Playboy founder Hugh Hefner from 2012 until his death in 2017 — said she had to be "deprogrammed" after she left the famed mansion. The 37-year-old widow said, "Therapy really helped. You start backtracking and [noticing] different behaviors. I'm like, 'Oh, that's gaslighting. That's narcissism.' It took years for me to understand what I went through, understand myself and also understand Hef and why he did certain things. You know, there's a story behind everything."

On the heels of Leah Rimini's lawsuit against the Church of Scientology and its leader, David Miscavige, the organization is calling the actress a "horrible person" and an "anti-free speech bigot" and encouraging her to "emigrate to Russia."

Earlier in the week, the "King of Queens" star accused her former church of defamation, stalking and harassment. "This lawsuit is ludicrous and the allegations pure lunacy," the church said in a statement. "Remini spreads hate and falsehoods for a decade and is now offended when people exercise their right to free speech, exposing her for what she is — an anti-free speech bigot." It went on to say, "Remini's obsession with attacking her former religion, by spreading falsehoods and hate speech, has generated threats of and actual violence against the Church and its members as evidenced by multiple criminal convictions of individuals poisoned by Remini's propaganda."

The church also took shots at Leah's career and famous friends: "Obviously everybody in Hollywood now knows what we already knew: That Remini is a horrible person and toxic to so many who have the misfortune to come in contact with her," the statement continued. "While Remini was in the Church, she had to restrain her antisocial traits. She said so herself — that Scientology was the only thing keeping her 'monster' at bay. … The Church is not intimidated by Remini's latest act of blatant harassment and attempt to prevent truthful free speech. If Remini does not believe in free speech, then she should consider emigrating to Russia."

Celine Dion's sister is giving an update on the singer's health amid her battle with stiff-person syndrome. The singer's sister Claudette told Le Journal de Montreal that their other sister, Linda, also helps care for the superstar. "When I call her and she's busy, I speak to my sister Linda who lives with her and tells me that she's working hard. She's listening to the top researchers in the field of this rare disease as much as possible," Claudette said.

Back in December, the "My Heart Will Go On" singer postponed her tour and Las Vegas residency show amid her battle with a rare and incurable neurological disease called Stiff Person Syndrome. As of now, Celine's been unable to find the right medication to treat the disease. "I honestly think that she mostly needs to rest. She always goes above and beyond, she always tries to be the best and top of her game. At one point, your heart and your body are trying to tell you something. It's important to listen to it," Claudette said. "It's innate to her, she's disciplined in every area of her life. We can't find any medicine that works, but having hope is important."

Dennis Quaid is reflecting on his past drug addiction, admitting he needed to change his life or else he'd end up in jail or in a coffin. "I spent a couple years physically recovering from all that," Dennis told "Extra." The actor recently released a gospel album and looks to God for advice these days. "It's always been there," he said of his faith. "Sometimes the lights were off. Or I was running away from it a lot. I tried to do it my way for so long with other things you're looking to fill that hole with. I was addicted to cocaine for quite a while. I went into rehab for that and got clear of that. They say you need a higher power to overcome that."

Dennis addressed his past addiction head-on in his song "On My Way to Heaven." His inspiration for the song stems from a dark period in his life. "I had a band back then and it was the night that we were performing at the Palace Theatre in Hollywood and we got a record deal, but we broke up because I was just a mess," he said. "I went home and really had this white-light experience and I saw myself continuing down this road and being either dead or in jail or losing anything I really cared about. So, I checked myself into rehab and gutted through it."

Tori Spelling's mother, Candy Spelling, is being ripped for seemingly not helping her daughter or grandkids in their desperate time of need. There may be something else going on behind the scenes, though… Earlier this week, reports and photos showed the "Beverly Hills, 90210" actress and her kids living in an RV on a campsite in the Los Angeles area. The mobile home living arrangement came after the family was staying in a run-down motel. Tori's constant moving stems from an extreme mold infestation in her rental home, one that was "poisoning" the family. Candy is reportedly worth $600 million and some wondered if she'd even lifted a finger to assist her daughter and family. Fans bombarded Candy's Instagram with critical comments calling her "shameful" and "selfish." The comments were so bad that the 77-year-old had to disable them.

Page Six later reported that Candy has, in fact, stepped up to help her daughter, but Tori passed on the offer. "Candy spent hours on the phone trying to find [a house for Tori and the kids]," a source said. Tori, however, declined to move in because, according to the insider, she "wanted to live in a certain place." The source added, "One of the problems is Tori doesn't speak to anyone on the phone. And Tori is trying to make Candy look like the bad guy.[Candy] found her a house, that's the last I heard."

Police in Los Angeles have a Taylor-made response to the pop star's massive series of concerts happening at SoFi Stadium this month. According to TMZ, Taylor Swift's six concerts at the football stadium will have a similar police presence as football's biggest day. "The Department is providing a similar level of visibility as the 2022 Super Bowl in order to ensure the safety of the public throughout the Metro System," police said. The first show, which took place on Thursday, Aug. 3, went off without a hitch. Highlights from Taylor's set included performances of "I Can See You"  and "August." She also gave Kobe Bryant and Vanessa Bryant's daughter, Bianka, a huge hug during the show and gifted the 6-year-old her "Red" hat.

Original 'Charlie's Angels' stars reunite in public, more news

'Charlie's Angels' reunion

OG "Charlie's Angels" stars Jaclyn Smith and Kate Jackson have reunited in public for the first time in nearly two decades. The former co-stars reconnected at Jaclyn's son Gaston's wedding: The proud mom showed off several images from the happy occasion on social media this week. One video from the outdoor festivities featured shots of Jaclyn, 77, and former co-star Kate, 74, standing beside each other on a lawn filled with wedding celebrants as they smiled and chatted with one another. While the mother of the groom dazzled in a flowy mint green gown, Kate kept it simple and summery in white pants, a light blue top and a taupe blazer. The actresses' hairstyles — blonde and feathered for Jaclyn and a longish, straight brunette bob for Kate — gave big throwback vibes to their '70s-era crime-fighting characters' looks. "There is nothing like family, and ours grew this weekend!" Jaclyn captioned the post. "I'm so endlessly proud of my son Gaston and am wishing him and Bonnie a lifetime of happiness." 

Jaclyn played Kelly Garrett for the full run of the original "Charlie's Angels" series, which aired from 1976 until 1981. Kate played Kelly's colleague Sabrina Duncan for the first three seasons before moving on from the detective show. The two were last photographed together at the 2006 Emmy Awards alongside fellow former "Angel" Farrah Fawcett.

Tony's final words

Tony Bennett's loved ones are opening up about the iconic singer's final moments before his death on July 21 at 96. "His last words to me [were], 'Thank you,'" the music legend's son, Danny Bennett, shared on the "Today" show on Aug. 3 — which would have been Tony's 97th birthday. "Can't say it better than that," Danny added.

Tony's widow, Susan Benedetto, joined her stepson on the show and also recalled the last thing her husband said to her: "That he loved me," she told host Hoda Kotb. "Yeah. He would wake up every day and still say that. He woke up happy every day. Even if he had had a bad day or night, he didn't remember it. That was the only blessing. He woke up happy. And he's just like, 'Susan. You're the best thing that ever happened to me.' And he would say that to me all the time." Susan also noted that despite suffering from Alzheimer's disease, "the music never left" Tony. He even played his 1951 hit "Because of You" at the piano just days before his death, she said.

Over the course of his eight decades in music, Tony was honored with 20 Grammy Awards, two Emmy Awards and the Recording Academy's Lifetime Achievement Award as well as countless accolades for his influence as a gifted interpreter of the Great American Songbook.

"Gaslighting," bullying and more new accusations

After three of Lizzo's former dancers filed a lawsuit against her for sexual harassment, assault and discrimination earlier in the week, the singer vehemently denied the allegations on Instagram on Aug. 3, calling the claims "too outrageous not to be addressed." In a lengthy statement, Lizzo (whose real name is Melissa Jefferson) hit back at what she branded "sensationalized stories coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional." Lizzo said she is "not the villain" she's been made out to be. She also said she's "disappointed" and "hurt" by the dancers' claims, noting that as a woman who has routinely suffered body shaming, she'd "never criticize or terminate an employee because of their weight," as one of the dancers accused her of doing.

The former employees — Arianna Davis, Crystal Williams and Noelle Rodriguez — were contestants on Lizzo's "Watch Out for the Big Grrrrls" series on Amazon Prime, where they claim to have endured sexual, racial and religious harassment, unwarranted hostility, fat-shaming, assault, false imprisonment and more, according to reports from the Daily Beast and "Entertainment Tonight."

Asked about Lizzo's response to their lawsuit on Aug. 3, Crystal chalked it up to more of the "gaslighting" she said the women faced in prior attempts to address their concerns. "We were constantly being gaslit, and she's constantly deflecting," she said. "So it just further proves our point and solidifies the claims that we're making."

After news of the lawsuit broke, filmmaker Sophia Nahli Allison took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to support the plaintiffs by sharing her experience working on a documentary about Lizzo in 2019 before she quit. "I was treated with such disrespect by her. I witnessed how arrogant, unkind, and cruel she is," Sophia wrote. She also called Lizzo "a narcissistic bully" who "has built her brand off lies."

The suit also names Lizzo's dance team captain, Shirlene Quigley, and her production company, Big Grrrl Big Touring, as defendants.

Music chart milestone

Ryan Gosling finally made his debut on Billboard's Hot 100 charts this week with his sour-grapes man-doll ballad "I'm Just Ken" from Greta Gerwig's "Barbie" movie. His chart position? A Ken-appropriate No. 87. The hilarious track did a bit better on the less pop-focused Billboard charts including the Hot Rock Songs list, which saw Ken's anthem come in at No. 4 and the Hot Rock and Alternative Songs chart, where Barbie's would-be better half landed the No. 5 song, according to "Entertainment Tonight."

"I'm Just Ken" appears on "Barbie: The Album," the massively popular flick's soundtrack, which also features music from the movie by Lizzo, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith and more.

Million-dollar strike support

As throngs of striking Hollywood actors hit the picket lines this summer, some Screen Actors Guild members are eschewing hand-held protest signs in favor of dollar signs — with a whole lot of zeroes. That's largely thanks to the efforts of George Clooney and Meryl Streep, who reportedly donated $1M each to the SAG-AFTRA Foundation, then took it upon themselves to pitch other high-earning A-listers to join them in their fundraising campaign to support the financial needs of less wealthy actors, three weeks into SAG-AFTRA's strike, according to The New York Times. As of Aug. 2, the charity had counted in excess of $15M in donations.

Other famous actors who've followed George and Meryl's $1M-plus lead include Hollywood power couples Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck and Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. Matt Damon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Hugh Jackman, Dwayne Johnson, Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Oprah Winfrey have also all forked over at least $1M in support of the cause, according to the Times. "I remember my days as a waiter, cleaner, typist, even my time on the unemployment line," Meryl said in a statement about her fundraising work. "In this strike action, I am lucky to be able to support those who will struggle in a long action to sustain against Goliath."

Troubled TV star who has a long history with the law is arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct

by Mark Gray Wonderwall

Another day, another run-in with the law for former MTV star Bam Margera. 

The troubled star was cited on Wednesday, Aug. 9, for being drunk in public while having a loud argument with a woman. According to TMZ, officers in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania, observed Bam getting heated during an argument with a woman outside the Radnor Hotel at 4:30 a.m.

After police approached Bam, they observed that he was slurring his words. They also smelled alcohol on his breath. They then took the famed skateboarder and prankster into custody and drove him to a nearby police station, where he was cited for public intoxication and disorderly conduct.

He was released from police custody after calling a friend. 

"Our officers got there and he was actually kind of friendly with them, and cooperative and came with us when he had to," an officer told Philadelphia's ABC affiliate, WPVI.

Bam's substance abuse issues have been well-documented over the years, as he's been in and out of rehab several times. In June, he was placed on a psychiatric hold at a Los Angeles mental health facility after authorities determined that he was a danger to himself and others.

In that instance, Bam's brother, Jess, made headlines for tweeting to ask if anyone had seen the former "Viva La Bam" star. TMZ reported that Bam had been sending messages to his family indicating that he might attempt to harm himself. Eventually, police tracked down Bam at a Trejo's Tacos restaurant in Los Angeles. 

The one-time reality star's speech and behavior were allegedly erratic during a subsequent conversation with the police. Taking everything into account — including the disturbing text messages he'd been sending — authorities placed Bam on a 5150 hold and took him to a mental health facility.

After the involuntary hold ended, Bam headed straight to a rehab center owned by former Los Angeles Lakers player Lamar Odom. TMZ reported that Lamar greeted the former TV star upon his release from the mental health center. But after about a week at the Odom Wellness Treatment Center, Bam suddenly left — as he has before. 

The new arrest comes nearly two weeks after Bam was ordered to stand trial on assault charges in a case involving his brother. Part of the conditions for his release included not drinking. It's unclear how his new arrest will affect that prior case.

Chris Hemsworth's superhero body has launched a thousand Thor-inspired diet and workout plans — and inspired Chris himself to launch a fitness app, Centr, with his trainer Luke Zocchi and stuntman Bobby Holland Hanton.

"I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out on my own, searching the internet … but there's just so much information out there. Centr is my answer to that."

He may be obscenely hot, but Chris Hemsworth — seen here at the Hollywood premiere of "Thor: Love and Thunder" in June 2022 — hasn't let his looks go to his head. After he was crowned People's Sexiest Man Alive in 2014, the dad of three joked to the magazine that the title "bought me a couple of weeks of bragging rights around the house. I can just say to [wife Elsa Pataky], 'Now remember, this is what the people think, so I don't need to do the dishes anymore, I don't need to change nappies. I'm above that. I've made it now."

_

Looking at Chris Hemsworth wearing nothing but board shorts in Sydney in January 2019, we can see where his "Thor: Love and Thunder" co-star Natalie Portman was coming from when she revealed that during a school run (her two kids went to school with Chris's children in Australia during production), the hunky dad had to hide behind a tree because of the attention he attracts. "I'm small and can kind of camouflage with the moms," she said on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in June 2022. "And then he comes in, he's like a Greek god walking through."

'Home Improvement' star who's been living a 'double life' arrested (again), more news ICYMI

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
7:30pm PDT, Aug 11, 2023
More trouble with the law

Zachery Ty Bryan found himself in familiar territory over the weekend: behind bars for alleged domestic abuse. The "Home Improvement" actor was arrested for felony assault on July 28. TMZ reported that the arrest violated the Abuse Prevention Act, which occurs when someone is accused of attacking somebody else who'd previously been granted a restraining order in relation to domestic violence. The webloid reported that cops received a call about the alleged abuse but that Zach had fled the home by the time they arrived. They soon tracked him down and took him to jail.

Zach's problems continue to mount — he was arrested in 2020 for felony strangulation after a fight with his girlfriend. He ended up pleading guilty to lesser charges. Earlier this year, he told The Hollywood Reporter the whole thing was "blown out of proportion." At the time of that incident, Zach was married but having an affair with Johnnie Faye Cartwright, with whom he now shares three children. The troubled former child star told THR Johnnie was upset over his "double life."

Police didn't identify the victim in the most recent situation, but it appears that it was Johnnie. On Aug. 2, she released a statement to Us Weekly: "I'll always want what's best for the father of my children. Trauma can bring struggles in many shapes and forms. It's a horrible situation that's going to be spun in so many ways. I've learned firsthand the truth will never align with what's been put out there. I ask everyone to please be respectful of our privacy for the sake of the children and our families so the healing process can begin."

Sexuality reveal

On Aug. 2, former "The Bachelorette" star Gabby Windey revealed that she's in a relationship with a woman. "I always just want to live my truth and my story. I have been seeing someone for a couple months, and I've been keeping it a little more private because it is a bigger story and a bigger conversation because I'm dating a girl," she said on "The View." Added the reality star of her sexuality, "I think it was always a whisper in me that just got louder and louder, and I didn't really know to pay attention to it. I think, you know, when this happens, there's some shame, obviously, surrounding it. So I think I had to, a little bit, navigate through the shame, like, what is it? Where is it coming from? But ultimately, like I said, I always just want to kind of like, do me, do what I want, figure it out later."

On social media, the former reality TV star revealed that her girlfriend is comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman. "Told you I'm a girls girl!!" she captioned a slideshow of photos with her love. Gabby first competed for Clayton Echard's heart on season 26 of "The Bachelor" before getting engaged to Erich Schwer on season 19 of "The Bachelorette." They split a few months later.

Legend lost

Paul Reubens, the actor who famously played the iconic Pee-wee Herman character on TV and in movies, passed away on July 30 after a secret battle with cancer. He was 70. "Last night we said farewell to Paul Reubens, an iconic American actor, comedian, writer and producer whose beloved character Pee-wee Herman delighted generations of children and adults with his positivity, whimsy and belief in the importance of kindness," his rep said in a July 31 statement. "Paul bravely and privately fought cancer for years with his trademark tenacity and wit. A gifted and prolific talent, he will forever live in the comedy pantheon and in our hearts as a treasured friend and man of remarkable character and generosity of spirit."

Before his death, Paul wrote a message to his fans that was released along with news of his passing. "Please accept my apology for not going public with what I've been facing the last six years," he wrote. "I have always felt a huge amount of love and respect from my friends, fans and supporters. I have loved you all so much and enjoyed making art for you."

Show her the support

In the money! Braunwyn Windham-Burke will receive $11,000 per month from her estranged husband, Sean Burke, in child and spousal support, according to legal documents obtained by Page Six on Aug. 1. Court papers reveal that $6,000 will go to toward child support and $5,000 will go toward spousal support. Sean and Braunwyn share seven children, four of whom are minors. The former "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star came out as a lesbian in December 2020 and filed for divorce in the fall of 2022. In mid-July, the reality TV alum got engaged to girlfriend Jennifer Spinner.

Braunwyn has previously argued that the support from Sean is necessary because she doesn't really know much about finances. In a previous court filing, she told a judge, "I have relied on [Sean] to make all financial decisions for 23 years. And I have effectively been kept in the dark regarding the true extent of our business interests and assets." Sean, who works for Economic Transformation Strategies, was ordered to begin the payments within a week of the July 26 decision.

R.I.P.

"Euphoria" actor Angus Cloud was found dead in his family's home in Oakland, California, on July 31. He was 25. Angus's mother called 911 to report a "possible overdose" and indicated that her son did not have a pulse. He was eventually pronounced dead on the scene. "As an artist, a friend, a brother and a son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways," his family said in a statement. "Last week he buried his father and intensely struggled with this loss. The only comfort we have is knowing Angus is now reunited with his dad, who was his best friend. Angus was open about his battle with mental health and we hope that his passing can be a reminder to others that they are not alone and should not fight this on their own in silence. We hope the world remembers him for his humor, laughter and love for everyone. We ask for privacy at this time as we are still processing this devastating loss."

Indicted in D.C.

Another one. On Aug. 1, former President Donald Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury for efforts to overturn the 2020 election — all which led up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as Congress was meeting to validate President Joe Biden's victory. The four charges are conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights. This marked Trump's third indictment since March 2023. At a hearing in Washington, D.C., on Aug. 3, he pleaded not guilty. While several celebrities — such as Roseanne Barr, Kevin Sorbo and Caitlyn Jenner — publicly vowed to support the Republican presidential candidate, others claimed he's a danger to the United States and democracy.

Scientology lawsuit

Leah Remini has filed a lawsuit against her former faith, the Church of Scientology, and its leader, David Miscavige. "For 17 years, Scientology and David Miscavige have subjected me to what I believe to be psychological torture, defamation, surveillance, harassment and intimidation, significantly impacting my life and career" she said in a press release. "I believe I am not the first person targeted by Scientology and its operations, but I intend to be the last."

The actress, who was essentially raised in the church, left in 2013 and has opened the lid on its practices via a memoir and award-winning TV docu-series. "While advocating for victims of Scientology has significantly impacted my life and career, Scientology's final objective of silencing me has not been achieved," she said Instagram. "While this lawsuit is about what Scientology has done to me, I am one of thousands of targets of Scientology over the past seven decades. People who share what they've experienced in Scientology, and those who tell their stories and advocate for them, should be free to do so without fearing retaliation from a cult with tax exemption and billions in assets."

Bombshell accusations

Lizzo is at the center of a lawsuit filed by three of her former backups dancers, and the details are salacious. The women claim they were weight shamed and demeaned in illegal ways. They also alleged they have faced sexual, religious and racial harassment and were subject to false imprisonment.

In one instance listed in the lawsuit, the dancers claimed they reluctantly visited Amsterdam's infamous Red Light District at Lizzo's insistence out of fear of losing their jobs. "The main event of the night was a club called Bananenbar, where patrons are allowed to interact with completely nude performers. While at Bananenbar, things quickly got out of hand," the lawsuit claims. "Lizzo began inviting cast members to take turns touching the nude performers, catching [sex toys] launched from the performers' vaginas, and eating bananas protruding from the performers' vaginas." The women claim they were tricked into going to a nude bar in Paris a week later. Several women not affiliated with the lawsuit have also come forward to detail negative experiences with the Grammy winner.

On Aug. 3, Lizzo put out a lengthy statement denying the allegations. "These sensationalized stories are coming from former employees who have already publicly admitted that they were told their behavior on tour was inappropriate and unprofessional," she wrote in part. 

Mic'd up!

After Cardi B got a drink thrown on her during a performance, she turned the tide. On July 29, the rapper was showered with a drink while singing "Bodak Yellow" at a Las Vegas pool party. Cardi quickly identified the culprit and responded by throwing her microphone at that person from the stage. Video of the incident quickly caught fire. The microphone struck the alleged drink thrower but also may have hit a woman standing next to that person. According to TMZ, one of the two pool party attendees went to local police on July 30 to report the incident, and Vegas cops investigated it as an assault. Although Cardi was listed as the suspect, her attorneys said on Aug. 3 that no charges would be filed as police determined she did not commit a criminal offense.

Police respond to alleged altercation between MTV stars whose engagement was televised

by Mark Gray Wonderwall

"Jersey Shore" star Angelina Pivarnick's nine-month engagement to Vinny Tortorella has already hit a speed bump.

On Aug. 9, Page Six reported that police were recently called to their New Jersey home after an alleged domestic violence incident. However, the MTV star refused to press charges once all was said and done.

A police report obtained by the New York Post's gossip website showed that Angelina called 911 and reported domestic violence. A "criminal investigatory record" was also reportedly made after the alleged altercation. 

The reality TV star's attorney confirmed that authorities were called to the home but downplayed the alleged altercation. 

"I can confirm that Angelina did in fact call the police to her home. After speaking with the officers, Angelina decided not to file charges," her attorney said in a statement. "This matter is now closed. Moving forward, Angelina would ask for privacy as it pertains to her personal life."

Angelina and Vinny got engaged at her "divorce party," which was held after she finalized her divorce from Chris Larangeira. The moment — which occurred in November 2022 — was filmed for MTV cameras, and the engagement aired on MTV in April. 

"I love you so much. A lot of things in life aren't guaranteed, but something that I've learned since I met you is loving you is gonna be guaranteed for the rest of my life," Vinny said during the made-for-TV engagement. "If there's anything beyond life, I want us to love each other, do everything — good, bad, little, big — I'll always have your back, I know you'll have my back. I want to grow old with you, I want to experience everything with you. I wouldn't want to experience it with anyone else — together, as one."

Despite the recent incident, the couple is still together and filming next season's "Jersey Shore."

Vinny's attorney released a statement to Page Six, stating, "My client and Ms. Pivarnick are still engaged and are still residing together. Mr. Tortorella denies any act of impropriety that would warrant police involvement and denies any act of domestic violence occurred. No charges have been pressed against my client by Ms. Pivarnick or law enforcement. I ask that his privacy be respected in this regard."

See the best and worst looks from Princess Beatrice over the years

by Bryanne Salazar Wonderwall
6:00pm PDT, Aug 9, 2023
_

Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at some of Princess Beatrice of York's most notable fashion hits and misses through the years in honor of the royal's 35th birthday on Aug. 8, 2023. Keep reading to see her best and worst looks through the years…

_

Even as a toddler, Princess Beatrice was working some serious style. The daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah, Duchess of York wore a floral-embroidered red cardigan and striped pants with what appears to be tot-sized riding shoes at the Windsor Horse Show in May 1990 — less than two months after her little sister, Princess Eugenie, was born.

MORE: Who's in line for the British throne?

_

In this July 1993 snapshot, Princess Beatrice of York is sporting a look with elements she still wears today: a full-length dress paired with a belt. While prancing around Dorney Court in London, an almost-5-year-old Beatrice looked every bit the princess in her flowing black-and-white attire.

MORE: Royal maternity fashion

_

We're going to let Princess Beatrice off the hook for this double fashion tragedy. For nearly a decade, Beatrice (left) and little sister Princess Eugenie (right) were often photographed wearing identical outfits — and we're pretty sure their mom, Sarah, Duchess of York, had something to do with it. In this March 1998 pic, both wore metallic chartreuse green skirts with black velvet long-sleeved button-down shirts to matchy-match with their mom during a screening of "Anastasia" in London.

MORE: Duchess Meghan's fashion hits and misses over the years

_

While there's nothing particularly wrong with Princess Beatrice's white collared shirt paired with an asymmetrical striped skirt and white loafers, it isn't winning her any fashion awards either. It should be noted that in this July 2004 picture, Beatrice was only 15 and just getting the hang of curating her own style, which was no easy task in the shadow of her fashion-forward mom, Sarah, Duchess of York.

_

We don't think Princess Beatrice of York looked her best in this sleeveless sage floral-print sundress with white wedge sandals, but we also didn't have to deal with cameras in our face when we were only 17. Seen here at the Monaco Grand Prix in May 2006, Beatrice rightly looks more focused on having fun than putting on a fashion show.

_

We take back everything we said about twinning with family members. In this stunning September 2007 photo, a 19-year-old Princess Beatrice looked amazing walking the runway with her mom, Sarah, Duchess of York, in similar black Dolce & Gabbana gowns. The duo were featured guests at the Fashion for Relief show hosted by model Naomi Campbell during London Fashion Week. They were also reportedly wearing more than $1 million in Garrard jewels.

_

In this June 2009 pic, Princess Beatrice of York looked très chic in a white linen boho dress paired with a wide, waist-cinching belt, thick gold chain and shimmering heels. The almost-21-year-old royal was hand-in-hand with beau David Clark, whom she dated for nearly a decade before ending their romance in 2016.

_

Princess Beatrice is seen here arm in arm with her equally stylish little sister, Princess Eugenie, at their mother's 50th birthday bash in London in October 2009. That night, Beatrice wore a gorgeous shimmering white satin minidress from Luella with a black ruffled tulle underlay that popped against Eugenie's brightly colored silk mini.

_

Princess Beatrice has a way of making all-black look anything but dreary. In this February 2010 picture, the redheaded royal was captured leaving Annabel's Club in London wearing a knee-length black dress with an organza polka-dot neckline and a ruched bust that was separated by an eye-catching line of gold embroidery.

_

We're loving Princess Beatrice's color-contrasting look during Ladies Day at Royal Ascot in June 2010. Her royal blue floral and feather fascinator and matching silk bolero jacket gave the necessary pop of color against her champagne silk mini, which on its own would have been a wash against her fair complexion.

_

We're positive that if we were princesses, this would be the dress we'd wear. At a pre-wedding dinner for Prince William and Kate Middleton in April 2011, Princess Beatrice brought the sparkle in a silver sequined one-shoulder mermaid gown from Australian designer Elizabeth Gilbert.

_

After stunning us with her amazing pre-wedding gown the night before, Princess Beatrice's style took a nosedive at cousin Prince William and Kate Middleton's nuptials in April 2011. While her blush-hued Valentino haute couture dress featuring intricate web-like detailing along the neckline wasn't terrible, her hat was another story. The Philip Treacy fascinator looked oddly like a woman's reproductive system, or, perhaps even worse, a lavish toilet seat.

_

Princess Beatrice struck a winning pose in this Erdem look she wore to the British Fashion Awards in London in November 2012. The dress, which featured a black lace panel in the back and a black lace overlay on the skirt, was perfectly paired with simple black platform pumps.

_

We're giving this look two thumbs down. In June 2013, Princess Beatrice wore this awkwardly fitted black-and-white dress to the Epsom Derby, where she accompanied her grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. The graphic-print dress, paired with a studded black-and-gold belt, maroon cloche hat, matching handbag and clunky sandals was a dizzying mix of patterns and colors that weren't able to come together to tell a cohesive fashion story.

_

Even Prince Andrew looks mad about Princess Beatrice's outfit at Trooping the Colour in June 2013 — and we don't blame him! While her sister, Princess Eugenie, looked sweet and stylish in her black-trimmed dress, Beatrice looked like a poorly wrapped present. The ill fit of the high-collared dress jacket and the strange bow embellishments made us desperate to see if there was something (anything) more stylish underneath. Sadly, the black fascinator atop her head didn't help either.

_

Who said only brides can wear white? Princess Beatrice hit all the right notes in this stunning white Nicholas Oakwell couture dress at the Serpentine Gallery Summer Party in London's Hyde Park in July 2014. We are seriously in love with her lavender heels too, which added the perfect pop of color.

_

We are definitely feeling the Alexander McQueen tuxedo dress that Princess Beatrice wore to the designer's Savage Beauty gala in London in March 2015. Keeping her red hair dramatically swooped to one side, the princess allowed the dress — which featured a thigh-high split and satiny lapels — to do all the work.

_

Simple and sexy with a bit of edge is how we'd define Princess Beatrice's all-black look at the Aquazzura Madison Avenue store opening in New York City in May 2016. We love how her lace-up flats perfectly complemented her long and loose red hair.

_

At the queen's 90th birthday celebration at St. Paul's Cathedral in London in June 2016, Princess Beatrice wore this uncomfortably bold black-and-white Burberry coat and matching fascinator. Standing beside her father, Prince Andrew, we can't help but think Beatrice looked like she was lost in a geometric maze.

_

Here's another Trooping the Colour where Princess Beatrice missed just about every fashion mark. During the 2016 celebration — which marked Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday — Beatrice stood out for all the wrong reasons in this navy dress and orange-yellow fascinator.

_

Dare we say the student has surpassed the teacher? In this May 2017 pic, Princess Beatrice and her mom, Sarah, Duchess of York, made a regal style team at the Fashion for Relief show at the Cannes Film Festival. While we think Sarah looked lovely in her green silk and lace gown, we were gaga for Beatrice's stunning embroidered blue high-low skirt and ruffled-sleeve black silk shirt.

_

Despite landing on best dressed lists all over the web, we can't find a nice thing to say about the nude and navy sheer-paneled dress that Princess Beatrice wore to the V&A Summer Party in London in June 2017. Standing next to her sister, Princess Eugenie, this ruffled and striped see-through monstrosity was certainly an attention-grabber, but it missed the high-style mark by a mile.

_

Yasss queen! At the Met Gala in May 2018, Princess Beatrice commanded the red carpet like a true royal, donning a studded crown and a sheer plum gown by Alberta Ferretti featuring a high neck with metallic embellishments, a ruched bodice and flowing, tapered sleeves.

_

Princess Beatrice gave us major fashion goals at the V&A Summer Party in London in June 2018. Looking fierce in this chic white ruffled mini from MSGM, the princess upped her style game by pairing the dress with gold-embellished sapphire blue heels and a trendy black box purse.

_

If Princess Beatrice ever made a fashion mistake, the custom turquoise Roksanda Viola dress that she wore to the wedding of cousin Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May 2018 made up for them all. The combination of sheer, beaded sleeves and a heavily beaded A-line skirt was epic. Keeping her accessories on-point, Beatrice paired the dress with a headband-style fascinator from Stephen Jones, a structured blue purse and pointy-toe nude heels.

_

At sister Princess Eugenie's wedding in October 2018, Princess Beatrice invoked the spirit of Jackie O in this sophisticated royal blue Ralph & Russo dress. Beatrice's bateau-necklined frock, which also featured a sleek peplum waist and ruffled, flared skirt, was the perfect "something blue" for the nuptials, where she served as her sister's maid of honor. Balancing the bold blues of the dress, the princess paired her look with a similar-toned blue-and-purple fascinator and a powder blue purse and heels.

_

Just when 2018 was going so well for Princess Beatrice, she arrived at the Berggruen Prize Gala in New York City tht December channeling 1980s Stevie Nicks. This unflattering black fringe dress made Beatrice look like she was on her way to celebrate the full moon with her coven.

_

Bouncing back from her fashion flub in late 2018, Princess Beatrice — seen here with grandmother Queen Elizabeth II at Royal Ascot in June 2019 — proved she still had it. Donning this pale blue shirt dress featuring daisy guipure lace from Maje Paris and a matching wide-brimmed hat, Beatrice managed to stand out while complementing her gran's classic style.

_

This gorgeous navy blue dress by Self-Portrait that Princess Beatrice wore to Lady Gabriella Windsor's May wedding in Windsor, England, might just have been her best look in 2019. The tiers of lace ruffles, criss-cross bust and sheer panels were perfectly accessorized with a white floral-embellished fascinator and shimmery nude heels.

_

Princess Beatrice donned this belted Alexander McQueen print dress and simple white tennies from Veja during the British Summer Time Hyde Park music festival in London in July 2019. The smart ensemble kept the young royal looking cute and comfy while she danced the night away.

_

The metallic emerald pleated dress by The Vampire's Wife dress that Princess Beatrice wore to singer Ellie Goulding's wedding in York, England, in August 2019 was a stellar choice made even better by her strong accessories selection: a black floral-embellished headband and bold black heels.

_

Princess Beatrice nailed royal maternity fashion during her first pregnancy. She wore a sweet black-and-white polka-dot dress with big sleeves that balanced out her growing baby bump when she watched the Wimbledon Tennis Championships in London in July 2021.

_

You can't win 'em all! We weren't fans of this dowdy look — a black frock worn over a sheer cream scarf blouse paired with opaque tights and heels — that Princess Beatrice wore to a dinner hosted by pal Gabriela Peacock to celebrate the nutritionist's book "2 Weeks To Feeling Great" in London in November 2021.

_

Princess Beatrice wowed in a floral dress by one of her favorite labels, The Vampire's Wife — with devoted husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi by her side — at a charity preview night for the Royal Windsor Horse Show in Windsor, England, in May 2022.

_

Princess Beatrice and husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi took in the horse races at Royal Ascot in June 2022 with him in a traditional black suit and top hat and her in a silk-crepe polka-dot Saloni Lodha dress featuring puffed sleeves and a keyhole neckline that was prim and pretty but lost us with its three silver bow embellishments on the bodice.

_

Princess Beatrice looked elegant to the extreme in a Markarian pastel green long-sleeved sequined gown accented with a wide black belt when she attended the National Gallery's inaugural Summer Party and fundraiser in London in June 2022 with husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi on her arm.

_

Princess Beatrice looked like she could have been a student at the Beauxbatons Academy of Magic from the "Harry Potter" books in this beautiful blue long-sleeved belted wool crepe midi-length dress by Beulah London, which she paired with a matching fascinator by Juliette Millinery and gray suede heels for the National Service of Thanksgiving in London in June 2022 on the second day of grandmother Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Significant spousal and child support payments revealed for former TV star who came out as a lesbian before divorcing husband, more news

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
3:30am PDT, Aug 9, 2023
Support payments

Talk about a big payout! Braunwyn Windham-Burke is set to receive $11,000 per month from her estranged husband, Sean Burke, in child support and spousal support, according to legal documents obtained by Page Six on Aug. 1. (Court papers reveal that $6,000 will go toward child support and $5,000 will go toward spousal support.) Sean and Braunwyn share four minor children and three children who are now young adults. The former "The Real Housewives of Orange County" star came out as a lesbian in December 2020 and filed for divorce in the fall of 2022. In mid-July 2023, the reality TV alum got engaged to girlfriend Jennifer Spinner.

Braunwyn has argued that the support from Sean is necessary because she doesn't really know much about finances. She once said in legal documents that she relied on Sean "to make all financial decisions for 23 years" and was "effectively kept in the dark regarding the true extent of our business interests and assets." Sean, who works for Economic Transformation Strategies, was ordered to begin the payments within a week of the July 26 decision.

Picket problems

Stephen Amell is not exactly standing with his colleagues, who have been on strike for nearly three weeks. Over the weekend of July 29, the "Arrow" star was asked about the strike while appearing at GalaxyCon in North Carolina. "I support my union, I do, and I stand with them," he said. "I do not support striking. I don't." The fact that Stephen was at the convention at all is a gray area considering SAG-AFTRA mebers are prohibited from appearances "on behalf of or to promote companies we are striking against." In a roundabout way, Stephen was promoting his Starz show "Heels."

"I think that it is a reductive negotiating tactic, and I find the entire thing incredibly frustrating," he said of the strike. "And I think that the thinking as it pertains to shows like the show that I'm on that premiered last night, I think it's myopic."

A few days later, he took to Instagram to backpedal on his controversial comments, sharing a lengthy statement clarifying what he "actually said" so that "there is no misunderstanding."

Keep on truckin'

She's in her generous era. Taylor Swift recently thanked the production truck drivers who've been hauling her "The Eras Tour" gear across the country for the past six months by gifting them each $100K bonuses. According to TMZ, the "Cruel Summer" singer handed out the checks last week, just before her show in Santa Clara, California. There are around 50 truckers working on her U.S. tour, which means the pop star shelled out about $5M total.

Michael Scherkenbach, founder and CEO of Denver-based Shomotion trucking company — one of two transportation companies used by the tour — told CNN, "The typical amount [of a bonus] is $5,000 to $10,000 each. So this large amount is unbelievable," adding that $100K is a "life-changing" amount of money for the truckers that could be a down payment on a house or college tuition for their kids. "These men and women, they live on the road. They sleep during the day and work all night. It's a grueling task. They leave their families, young children for weeks. For Taylor's tour, they've been away from home for 24 weeks."

TMZ reported that Taylor also gave "very generous" bonus checks to band members, dancers, lighting and sound technicians, caterers and others working on her concert trek. The U.S. leg of the tour comes to a close on Aug. 9 after Taylor's six-show run at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium, though she's already scheduled a second leg of the tour for the fall of 2024.

Speaking out

Although her partnership with Bud Light negatively affected the beer brand's bottom line, Dylan Mulvaney is cashing in on the fiasco. The controversy-sparking trans influencer is charging $40K per speaking engagement, The College Fix reported on July 27. Just last year, her fee was $26,250. Controversy pays!

Earlier this year, Dylan and Anheuser-Busch teamed up for a March Madness campaign — Bud Light even put her face on a special can. That was enough to cause outrage among conservatives, some of whom boycotted the brand. Amid the outrage, Dylan said she didn't feel "safe" in America and temporarily fled to Peru. She also publicly lashed out at the way Bud Light treated her amid the drama: "For a company to hire a trans person and then not publicly stand by them is worse, in my opinion, than not hiring a trans person at all, because it gives customers permission to be as transphobic and hateful as they want," she said on June 29, adding that she was left with "a loneliness that I wouldn't wish on anyone."

According to reports, Anheuser-Busch has lost $27 billion in market cap value since the partnership went sideways.

Farewell

Friends and colleagues are remembering Angus Cloud as "one of the realest dudes in the business" who will be "deeply missed." The actor, 25, was found dead in his family's home in Oakland, California, on July 31. His mother called 911 and indicated that her son did not have a pulse while reporting a "possible overdose." He was eventually pronounced dead on the scene. Drake paid tribute to Angus on Instagram, calling the "Euphoria" actor a "good soul." Kerry Washington penned, "You will be deeply missed. Rest in Power." Rachel Zegler said, "Please remember how loved you are. This world is so quick to make you feel otherwise. There are reasons to stick around and this world needs you. Oh, Angus. We celebrate you."

Zendaya, Angus's "Euphoria" co-star, also shared a loving tribute to her friend on Instagram, writing, "Words are not enough to describe the infinite beauty that is Angus (Conor). I'm so grateful I got the chance to know him in this life, to call him a brother, to see his warm kind eyes and bright smile, or hear his infectious cackle of a laugh (I'm smiling now just thinking of it) I know people use this expression often when talking about folks they love… 'they could light up any room they entered' but boy let me tell you, he was the best at it. I'd like to remember him that way. For all of the boundless light, love and joy he always managed to give us. I'll cherish every moment. My heart is with his mother and family at this time and please be kind and patient as grief looks different for everyone."

For shame

Bebe Rexha has confirmed that she and her boyfriend of three years, Keyan Safyari, recently split. During a July 28 concert in London, the singer asked the audience to "help" her sing her song "Atmosphere" — a breakup anthem. "I just went through a breakup so I might get a little emotional," the Grammy nominee said, according to E! News. A few days later, she said she was looking for a "new boyfriend."

Bebe first hinted at the breakup on July 16 when she shared a screenshot of a text message Keyan allegedly sent her in which he said that he loved her but wanted to be honest about recent changes to her figure. "Would you rather I lied to you? You gained 35 pounds obviously you gained weight and your face changes? Should I just pretend it didn't happen and that it's ok? Come on I gain 3 pounds and you call me chubbs and fat. Doesn't mean you don't love me," Keyan allegedly texted. He then wondered if Bebe was "finding reasons" to end their relationship. "Don't use something like that to weaponize your anger or anxiety or any insecurity you may have," he wrote. "You know I have always found you to be beautiful and loved you no matter what."

"Real" reason for divorce

"The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" was a factor — a large factor — in the collapse of Dr. Paul Nassif and Adrienne Maloof's 10-year marriage. "I don't think I'd ever do something like that again, especially if [you] look at my background with this," the "Botched" doctor told E! News on July 30. "I think being on a reality show, it did speed up our demise and divorce. I think it was going to happen anyway, eventually."

Paul appeared on the first three seasons of the Bravo show with his then-wife. Paul and Adrienne, who share three children, divorced in 2012. Still, they speak often and have an amicable relationship. "I've talked to her at least probably five, six times a week," he said, adding that it's "a good thing" for the children they share. Paul has since remarried: He and Brittany Pattakos tied the knot in 2019. They welcomed daughter Paulina in 2020.

Podcast host confirms she's 'hanging out' with a newly single country music star, more news

by Jessica Wedemeyer Wonderwall
8:30pm PDT, Aug 8, 2023
_

Take a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in late July and early August 2023, starting with this new couple…

On the July 27 episode of her "PlanBri Uncut" podcast, Barstool Sports host Brianna Chickenfry (real name: Brianna LaPaglia) confirmed recent speculation that she's dating Zach Bryan. "I've been hanging out with a guy named Zach," she said, according to People magazine, noting that they "started hanging out" three weeks earlier. "It's fun, it's casual," she added. She decided to address the romance rumors, she said, after photos of herself spending time with the country music star recently hit the Internet. "We're just hanging out, having fun, and that's where I've been — that's what I've been doing. That's what I'm gonna be doing for a little bit. We'll see where it goes. And I'm happy," she concluded.

The duo reportedly met at the 2023 ACM Awards in Texas on May 11. Less than three weeks later, Zach announced on Twitter that he and his girlfriend of a little more than a year, Debra Peifer, went their separate ways "about a week and a half ago" — a week and a half after he met Briana! Yikes!

On July 29, People magazine reported that, according to a source, Kevin Costner's estranged wife, Christine Baumgartner, has officially vacated their marital home… and moved into "a smaller house on the property that's been used as a staff quarter." Explained the source, "Christine is following the legal advice per the prenup and is vacating the family house. … This is a temporary solution. She is still looking for another house. She is staying in the area to not disrupt [their three] kids' lives. They will be back at school in the fall with their friends. Christine is trying to keep everything as normal as possible. Her sole focus is the kids."

The former couple have been at odds over the Oscar winner's $145M estate in Santa Barbara, California, since Christine filed for divorce in May. Before they tied the knot in 2004, she signed a prenup agreeing to vacate their marital home within 30 days of a potential breakup, but she refused to leave the home for months until a judge ruled in early July that she had until the end of the month to move out.

On Aug. 1, DailyMail.com reported that Sofia Vergara has agreed to relinquish custody of Bubbles — the Chihuahua she and now-estranged husband Joe Manganiello adopted together after they tied the knot — in their divorce. "Not in a million years would Joe part ways with his dog Bubbles, and Sofia is well aware of this. Joe said Sofia was gracious about him keeping Bubbles after their breakup. Neither one of them is bitter or out for revenge, and Sofia loves Bubbles and wants her to be happy which is precisely why she's letting Joe have custody. He said Sofia has the biggest heart and would never do anything to intentionally hurt him or Bubbles," said a source close to the "True Blood" alum, adding that the actor has said "he couldn't imagine life without his dog and never knew that kind of love" before she came into his life.

Continued the insider, "He said if Bubbles could speak, she would say that under no circumstances would she want to be with anyone else but Joe. … When we were working on a project together overseas, Joe took Bubbles with him everywhere. On the set, to bars, restaurants. He always had that little dog is in arms. He even took Bubbles to a concert. The two are inseparable. The only time I've seen Joe without Bubbles was when he was actually on-camera working. We were overseas for months, so even back then both Joe and Sofia knew Bubbles had a favorite."

Joe and the Emmy-nominated "Modern Family" actress announced in mid-July that they were going their separate ways after nearly eight years of marriage.

On July 29, TMZ reported that Ariana Grande and her new boyfriend, "Wicked" co-star Ethan Slater, are spending some time apart as he handles his split from his estranged wife, Lilly Jay. According to the webloid, the Grammy winner and the Broadway star haven't seen each other in "several weeks" because they've been in different cities and she's "giving him space to work things out" with Lilly. (It's unclear when they'll be able to see each other next.) Meanwhile, Ethan is said to be in daily communication with his former missus due to the son they welcomed together in August 2022. Amid the drama and the time spent apart, Ethan and Ariana are "100% still dating," TMZ reports. The jury is still out on whether or not they got together before or after they ended their previous relationships.

_

On Aug. 2, TMZ reported that Reese Witherspoon and Jim Toth recently settled their divorce. According to the webloid, the duo also agreed to a parenting plan for their 10-year-old son, Tennessee. The Oscar winner filed for divorce a week after announcing in late March that she and the former talent agent were going their separate ways following more than a decade of marriage. In the wake of the breakup, Reese was linked to NFL GOAT Tom Brady, though nothing ever came of the romance rumors. Jim, meanwhile, reportedly has a new girlfriend already.

_

On July 28, Neelam Gill took to her Instagram Story to officially "clear up any rumors" that she and Leonardo DiCaprio are an item: "I am not Leonardo DiCaprio's 'new flame.' In fact, I am in a committed relationship with his good friend, and have been for many months now. The only reason we have been pictured in the same vicinity is because I have been there with my partner. I hope this clears up all the false stories," the model wrote. (She did not specify who exactly she's dating.) She first sparked romance rumors with the A-list actor in May.

_

After a tabloid reported on Aug. 2 that Timothée Chalamet recently "dumped" Kylie Jenner, TMZ reported that, according to their sources, the actor and the reality star are still going strong and "any reports that say otherwise are false." They pair were first publicly linked in April. They've managed to keep their romance relatively under wraps since then.

On the July 31 episode of the "Way Up With Angela Yee" podcast, Offset admitted that he lied when he accused wife Cardi B of cheating on him in late June. They were fighting and he was "really lit that night," he said. Recalled the rapper, "We're going back and forth and I'm like, 'Watch this!'"

He went on to address his past indiscretions, explaining, "When I did do that, I was in a different space. I was young. I had just got married. I'm getting a lot of money." He then attributed the lapse in judge to their failure to properly communicate their "wants and needs" — and also the fact that he was heavily intoxicated.

He's since won back Cardi's trust: "Why do you think she loves me how she loves me? My growth. I've showed I'm a real one, I'm not gonna do this, I ain't gonna play with you, I ain't gonna keep playing with you because it's affecting you and this heartbreak is wrong," he said.

_

On the Aug. 2 episode of "The View," former "The Bachelorette" star Gabby Windey revealed that she's been "seeing someone for a couple months" now. The news is especially noteworthy, she explained, because she's "dating a girl."

Although the reality star stopped short of defining her sexuality, she explained that her queerness "was always a whisper" that "just got louder and louder" over time. When host Joy Behar attempted to clarify if Gabby plans to date only women moving forward — "So is it girls now? That's it, girls?" she inquired — Gabby replied, "I think so. I think it's just, like, my girl. She's the best."

Later that day, the "Dancing With the Stars" season 31 contestant revealed on Instagram that her girlfriend is comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman. "Told you I'm a girls girl!!" she captioned a slideshow of photos with her love.

On Aug. 1, Kaitlyn Bristowe fueled rumors that she and Jason Tartick recently called it quits when she took to her Instagram Story to share a cryptic post criticizing a subsect of her followers for demanding that she address whether or not their engagement is off: "I cannot believe the audacity of people to expect things from me when I haven't even been able to process things for myself. Have a f****** heart," she wrote. (Those same fans wondered: If the Bachelor Nation stars weren't broken up, then what difficult thing was Kaitlyn processing?)

Jason, meanwhile, fueled the breakup rumors — which first kicked off when he and Kaitlyn stopped posting about each other on social media — when he took to Instagram to share photos and videos of himself spending time with their two dogs… but not with the "Dancing With the Stars" season 29 champ.

On Aug. 6, the duo — who got engaged in mid-2021 after a little more than two years of coupledom — took to Instagram to announce that the rumors were true: "We are saddened with heavy hearts to share that we have decided to end our engagement," they wrote in a joint statement, adding that they plan to co-parent their dogs moving forward.

_

On July 29, the Mirror reported that Lily James and Michael Shuman recently reconciled after briefly calling it quits earlier this year following about two years of coupledom. "[They] have always adored each other and have lots of fun together. Time apart has made them realize how much they missed each other and now they're picking up where they left off. … Neither is putting any pressure on it — they're just seeing how it goes," a source said, adding that the Emmy-nominated "Pam & Tommy" actress and the bassist "looked close" at the 2023 Glastonbury Festival in England, where she could be seen watching him perform with his rock band Queens of the Stone Age.

On Aug. 1, Page Six reported that, according to the terms of their divorce settlement, Braunwyn Windham-Burke's ex-husband, Sean Burke, is now on the hook for $5K per month in spousal support and $6K per month in child support for their four minor children. (They also share three adult children.) The "Real Housewives of Orange County" alum — who just got engaged in mid-July to her girlfriend of a year, Jennifer Spinner — claimed in late 2022 that she was "unable to provide" for her kids after Sean stopped helping out financially. Then in March 2023, she claimed that she filed for divorce in October 2022 after he "emptied" their joint bank accounts.

On July 29, Lenny Hochstein's girlfriend of a year, Katharina Mazepa, took to Instagram to announce that they're engaged: "On top of an ancient pirate cave, overlooking the sunset over breathtaking Es Vedrá, he asked to steal me away forever," she captioned a slideshow of photos and videos depicting the proposal — which went down in Ibiza — including a shot showing off her massive engagement ring. (According to a Page Six Style source, the bauble features a 12-carat diamond and is worth around $1M to $1.5M.)

The famed plastic surgeon's estranged wife, Lisa Hochstein, quickly took to her Instagram Story to react to the news: "Congrats to my current husband and his mistress on their engagement," she wrote. (Lenny caught wind of her comment and released a statement slamming her for it — more on that next!)

Lenny filed to divorce the "Real Housewives of Miami" star in May 2022, but things have been incredibly contentious between them since then — and there's no indication that they're close to legally ending their marriage. Lisa has insisted that Lenny cheated on her with his new bride-to-be, but Lenny and Katharina have maintained that they only got together after their previous marriages came to an end.

_

During an Aug. 2 chat with Us Weekly, Lenny Hochstein bit back at his estranged wife, Lisa Hochstein, over her criticism of his engagement to new love Katharina Mazepa: "I want to clear up some things. For two years prior to telling Lisa I wanted a divorce, my life was miserable. I was treated like a servant, not a partner. I was nothing more than an ATM machine to her; funding her party lifestyle and her constant need for more material things," he said, adding that he told Lisa he wanted a divorce "many times" before they ultimately threw in the towel.

"She didn't care. We [hadn't had] a husband-wife relationship since 2021, and in 2022 we were living in separate bedrooms. I made the decision that we were getting divorced but wanted to wait until filming [for 'The Real Housewives of Miami'] ended. Mentally I was already checked out. She was typically staying out partying until 4 or 5 a.m. on a regular basis, but that day she did not come home until 8 a.m. It was the last straw," he alleged. "I told [Lisa] that we were going to get divorced and that I was going to start seeing other people. … I'm tired of Lisa's false victim narrative. She's no victim. She's a selfish, self-centered person who cares about nothing past herself. Not me, not [our two] children. Absolutely nothing."

He also insisted that "there was no cheating" before he and Lisa called it quits and that his new fiancée "was never a mistress."

_

During a July 28 concert in London, Bebe Rexha confirmed speculation that her relationship with Keyan Safyari recently came to an end. "I just went through a breakup, so I might get a little emotional," she said before launching into her song "Atmosphere."

The Grammy nominee first hinted that she and the cinematographer had called it quits after three years of coupledom when she took to her Instagram Story in mid-July to share a screenshot of a text message in which Keyan shamed her for gaining weight but then insisted that he still loved her "no matter what" and accused her of "trying to find reasons to break up."

_

On July 29, TMZ broke the news that Courtney Stodden and Chris Sheng quietly called it quits six months earlier. "The car was out of gas," a source said, adding that the breakup was mutual. According to the webloid, the reality star's friends "felt something was off" between the former couple "from the beginning" and speculated that "jealousy and insecurities" were building throughout their relationship. Courtney reportedly "didn't feel seen" by Chris — and friends agreed, telling Courtney "they didn't think they were meant to be together." Courtney and Chris are no longer in contact, though they saw each other regularly after they first threw in the towel because they were still living together. (Courtney's rep later confirmed the breakup news to Page Six.) They got engaged back in 2021 following more than four years of coupledom.

On Aug. 1, Amanza Smith debuted her new boyfriend on Instagram: "When I needed you most, there you were. Love really shows up when you least expect it. So grateful for this man!" the "Selling Sunset" star captioned a video of herself sharing a drink — and a kiss! — with her mystery man, whose name she's keeping under wraps for now.

_

During an interview with The U.S. Sun that debuted online on Aug. 1, Jon Gosselin revealed that he has a secret girlfriend of two years: Stephanie Lebo. They met through a mutual friend just "a few months" after the former reality star split from his last girlfriend, Colleen Conrad. "I wasn't looking for anything, and neither was she but it just happened," said the father of eight. "We are really happy and in love. We are very comfortable with each other, it just fits," he gushed, adding that he feels like "it's taken 19 years to find Steph."

"All the trials and tribulations, the heartbreak, the fighting, and worrying about who is going to talk about me to the press, then finally I meet Steph. … I never thought relationships were easy. I always thought my relationships were going to be a struggle and people would always have a chip on their shoulder where they'd say, 'Screw you, you're famous and I don't have anything and I've had to give up this or that.' But this time it's not like that at all. It's easy. … My previous relationships would all go well in the beginning but then they'd move to miscommunications and secrets. Trust has always been an issue, but not this time," he explained.

Added his girlfriend, "We fell in love very quickly. Jon said it first. But we rarely argue. And there's no gender roles in our relationship. … We are a good team and I like that."

_

On Aug. 2, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took to Instagram to announce that "after many meaningful and difficult conversations," he and his wife of nearly two decades, Sophie Gregoire, recently "made the decision to separate." Wrote the politician, "As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build."

His office later told People magazine in a statement that the former couple "signed a legal separation agreement" and "worked to ensure that all legal and ethical steps with regards to their decision to separate have been taken, and will continue to do so moving forward."

"They remain a close family and Sophie and the Prime Minister are focused on raising their kids in a safe, loving and collaborative environment. Both parents will be a constant presence in their children's lives and Canadians can expect to often see the family together," the statement continued, adding that the parents of three "will be together on vacation, beginning next week."

Bill Maher compares Donald Trump's election interference defense to that of notorious serial killer Son of Sam: Stars react to the former president's newest indictment

by Mark Gray Wonderwall
8:00pm PDT, Aug 8, 2023
_

On Aug. 1, 2023, former President Donald Trump was indicted by a federal grand jury for efforts to overturn the 2020 election — which culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol as Congress met to validate President Joe Biden's victory. The four charges are conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights. On Thursday, Aug. 3, the former POTUS pleaded not guilty in a Washington, D.C., federal courthouse. This marks Trump's third indictment since March 2023. Still, he remains the front-runner for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination — and by a wide margin!

After the indictment news broke, several notable names in entertainment — on both sides of the aisle — sounded off on social media.

"Trump's defense is still he really thinks he won? The son of Sam killer thought he was talking to a dog, does it matter?" –Bill Maher

"This is a very sad day for America and it was also very sad driving through Washington, D.C., and seeing the filth and the decay and all of the broken buildings and walls and the graffiti. This is not the place that I left. It's a very sad thing to see it. When you look at what's happening, this is a persecution of a political opponent. This was never supposed to happen in America. This is the persecution of the person that's leading by very, very substantial numbers in the Republican primary and leading Biden by a lot, so if you can't beat him, you persecute him or you prosecute him. We can't let this happen in America," Donald Trump told reporters after his arraignment in a federal courthouse in the national's capital on Aug. 3, 2023

"As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans. While I've seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts. Washington, DC is a 'swamp' and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality. One of the reasons our country is in decline is the politicization of the rule of law. No more excuses — I will end the weaponization of the federal government." —Florida Governor and Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis

_

"Hi Trump supporters, I know many of you are still dismissing January 6th as a voter fraud protest that got out of hand. But the indictment makes clear, that was just a small part of the former president's plans behind the scenes. He was attempting a coup. Read the indictment." —Jon Cryer

"Trump inditement here – Here's to that day he begins to rot in prison – please drink responsibly." —John Cusack

"The Department of Justice has done its part. Now it's up to US to keep that Criminal out of the White House and save Democracy." —Rob Reiner

"Today's indictment serves as an important reminder: anyone who puts himself over the Constitution should never be President of the United States." —former Vice President Mike Pence

_

"History happening today, folks. We are all bearing witness." —George Takei

_

"Anyone else noticing a pattern here? The corrupt beurocrats [sic] of the Biden regime charge Trump literally the day after every single disastrous Biden crime family story. Rather than looking into the millions sent to the Biden's their kids and their grandkids from virtually all of our enemies they go after their political enemies knowing that their lackeys in the media will use their bogus charges to cover for Joe Biden, the most corrupt president in the history of our nation. There's no such thing as this much coincidence and if you've been paying attention, you will realize that we have become a banana republic. Truly disgusting." –Donald Trump Jr.

"Indictments and crimes against America aside, Donald Trump, a raging and impulsive narcissist, is psychologically unfit to be president. Simply put, he's dangerous." —Stephen King

"Another Day Another Trump Indictment!!! I'm celebrating in NYC," Michael Rapaport wrote on X, formerly Twitter, alongside a brief portion of a video he shared on YouTube in which he reacts to Donald Trump's latest indictment. In the clip, the actor says, "Let's be clear — this was not just wacky, far-left people. This was in Republican-ran states. … They all told you no. Fifty times you went to court with your election fraud — there's not one piece of evidence to prove that there's been any substantial voter fraud. You're still talking about the fact that you won the election — you're out of your f****** mind!"

"To #MAGA Americans. I beg you to read the indictment. Trump was indicted by a jury of his peers. You should be happy that our country survived and that bad guys will see justice." —Mia Farrow

"We must remember that Trump and the others are innocent until proven guilty. That said, it seems from the charges, that they are for sure guilty." —Al Franken

"I hear that Deranged Jack Smith, in order to interfere with the Presidential Election of 2024, will be putting out yet another Fake Indictment of your favorite President, me, at 5:00 P.M. Why didn't they do this 2.5 years ago? Why did they wait so long? Because they wanted to put it right in the middle of my campaign. Prosecutorial Misconduct!" –former President Donald Trump on Aug. 1, 2023 — the day he was indicted for his efforts to overturn the 2020 election

_

"We've recently learned: • Hunter received money from China (contradicting President Biden's claim) • President Biden spoke with Hunter's business associates over 20 times (contradicting what Biden previously claimed) • Biden's DOJ tried to secretly give Hunter broad immunity and admitted the sweetheart deal was unprecedented And just yesterday a new poll showed President Trump is without a doubt Biden's leading political opponent. Everyone in America could see what was going to come next: DOJ's attempt to distract from the news and attack the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, President Trump. House Republicans will continue to uncover the truth about Biden Inc. and the two-tiered system of justice." –House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA)

_

"The insurrection on January 6, 2021 was one of the saddest and most infamous days in American history, personally orchestrated by Donald Trump and fueled by his insidious Big Lie in an attempt to undermine the 2020 election. In a deadly effort to overturn the will of the American people and block the peaceful transition of power, our nation's Capitol—the very symbol and home of American patriotism and democracy—fell under attack to thousands of vicious and violent rioters.

"The third indictment of Mr. Trump illustrates in shocking detail that the violence of that day was the culmination of a months-long criminal plot led by the former president to defy democracy and overturn the will of the American people. This indictment is the most serious and most consequential thus far and will stand as a stark reminder to generations of Americans that no one, including a president of the United States, is above the law. The legal process must continue to move forward without any outside interference." –Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) in a joint statement

We're taking a look back at the former stars of "The Bachelorette" to see how their lives (and looks!) have changed over the years, starting with this alum, who made headlines in August 2023…

Kaitlyn Bristowe headlined the 11th season of "The Bachelorette" in 2015 after a controversial start: On the season premiere, the men voted to determine whether she or Britt Nilsson — who also competed for Chris Soules' heart on season 19 of "The Bachelor" in 2015 — would lead the season. Kaitlyn won the vote and went on to get engaged to Shawn Booth on the season finale.

Kaitlyn Bristowe and Shawn Booth called it quits in late 2018. Just a few months later, she started seeing Jason Tartick, who competed for Becca Kufrin's heart on season 14 of "The Bachelorette." They got engaged in 2021 — the same year the "Off the Vine" podcast hostess returned to Bachelor Nation to co-host the 17th and 18th seasons of "The Bachelorette" with fellow former Bachelorette Tayshia Adams after Chris Harrison got the boot from the long-running franchise. In 2020, Kaitlyn won the 29th season of "Dancing With the Stars" with partner Artem Chigvintsev.

In August 2023, Kaitlyn and Jason announced they'd split after more than four years together and a two-year engagement. However, they added in a joint statement, "Continuing our friendship is incredibly important to both of us. We feel grateful to be ending our engagement with love and respect for each other. It's heartbreaking and sad to say goodbye, but our care and admiration for one another will never die."

Former Miami Heat cheerleader and physical therapist Trista Rehn — who initially competed for Alex Michel's heart on the first season of "The Bachelor" — found love with fireman Ryan Sutter on the very first season of "The Bachelorette" in 2003.

_

Trista Sutter and Ryan Sutter are still going strong. They tied the knot in 2003 in a televised ceremony a few months after finding love on "The Bachelorette." They had two children — daughter Blakesley and son Maxwell — and renewed their vows (on television, natch) in January 2013. In June 2021 — after a mysterious year-long health battle — Ryan revealed on Trista's "Better Etc." podcast that he'd been diagnosed with Lyme disease. "It's been hard," Trista, who turned 50 in October 2022, said while reflecting on Ryan's sickness. "It's a really difficult thing to see the person that you love most in this world struggling. And he's a big strong guy, and to see him get emotional and feel helpless in a way in that all I could do was really advocate for him. So that's what I did." The pair reside in Eagle County, Colorado.

_

After failing to find love with Bob Guiney on the fourth season of "The Bachelor," makeup artist and model Meredith Phillips headlined the second season of "The Bachelorette" in 2004. She got engaged to Ian McKee on the season finale.

_

Meredith Phillips and Ian McKee called it quits a year later in February 2005. The former model went on to publish a cookbook — "The Date Night Cookbook: Romantic Recipes for the Busy Couple" — in 2008. She married her high school sweetheart, Michael Broady, in 2011, and opened up to People magazine in 2013 about her struggle with alcoholism. In 2018, the former reality star alleged that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by an unidentified female masseuse during her time on "The Bachelorette." Meredith, seen here back in 2007, has stayed out of the spotlight since then.

_

After her engagement to "The Bachelor" season 3 star Andrew Firestone came to an end, Jen Schefft starred on season 3 of "The Bachelorette," which aired in 2005. She gave her final rose to Jerry Ferris but said no when he proposed.

_

After failing to find love on television, Jen Schefft retreated to a more private life. She married Joe Waterman in 2009 and had two children, daughters Mae and Charlotte. She also published a book, "Better Single Than Sorry," in 2007. The former reality star now resides in northeast Ohio — "I grew up outside of Cleveland and my husband is from Cincinnati, so we decided to move home to be closer to family," she once told Us Weekly. In 2020 she launched her podcast, "From the Bachelor to the Burbs," about her post-fame life.

_

After Brad Womack broke up with her on season 11 of "The Bachelor," DeAnna Pappas took her turn as the star of "The Bachelorette" on the show's fourth season in 2008. The real estate agent gave her final rose to Jesse Csincsak and said yes when he proposed on the season finale.

Sadly, their fairytale romance wasn't made to last…

_

DeAnna Pappas and Jesse Csincsak broke up about four months after their season finale aired. She ultimately found love with a different member of the extended Bachelor Nation family: Michael Stagliano, who competed for Jillian Harris's heart on season 5 of "The Bachelorette," introduced DeAnna to his twin brother, Stephen Stagliano — and the rest is history! They married in October 2011 and went on to welcome two children: daughter Addison and son Austin. Sadly, though, it wasn't meant to be: In January 2023, the mother of two — who's worked in the podcast space for a number of years now and recently co-hosted the "Flashbacks" podcast with fellow former reality star Jessica Hall — took to Instagram to announce that she and Stephen were going their separate ways.

In July 2023, DeAnna revealed that she entered "trauma therapy" to deal with the "very traumatic" breakup: "I went to a trauma center back in December and I went three days a week for three hours — intensive therapy. [It was] the best thing I could have done for myself. I found it astounding and life-changing. If I could have afforded to go for another month, I would have because I found it astounding and the things that I learned about myself and my marriage," she said.

Jillian Harris — who first competed for Jason Mesnick's heart on season 13 of "The Bachelor" — starred on the fifth season of "The Bachelorette" in 2009. The Canadian interior designer got engaged to technology consultant Ed Swiderski on the season finale.

_

Jillian Harris and Ed Swiderski went their separate ways a year later in July 2010. But her career in television had only just begun. In 2010, she worked as a designer on "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition." She then hosted "Love It or List It Too." These days, she has her own company, The Jilly Box, which provides customers with a seasonal box of her favorite items. She's doing great in the romance department as well: She found love with pro snowboarder Justin Pasutto. The couple, who have two children — Leo and Annie — got engaged in 2016 but have yet to tie the knot.

_

Ali Fedotowsky starred on season 6 of "The Bachelorette" in 2010 after she picked her job over Jake Pavelka on season 14 of "The Bachelor." She found love with Roberto Martinez and said yes when he proposed on the season finale.

_

Ali Fedotowsky and Roberto Martinez called it quits a year later in November 2011. Ali, who worked as a correspondent on E! News, married radio host Kevin Manno in 2017. The couple welcomed daughter Molly in 2016 and son Riley in 2018. "I'd like to think that I would've met my husband regardless of the show, but the truth is if I had never gone on 'The Bachelor' and 'The Bachelorette,' I'm not sure I would have!" Ali told Us Weekly in 2018. The former "The Bachelorette" star and her family made a big move in 2021, relocating from California to Nashville.

Dental student Ashley Hebert headlined season 7 of "The Bachelorette" in 2011 after Brad Womack dumped her on season 15 of "The Bachelor." She accepted a marriage proposal from J.P. Rosenbaum on the season finale.

_

In 2012, Ashley Hebert and J.P. Rosenbaum tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony that was later broadcast as a television special. The dentist and the contractor welcomed son Fordham in 2014 and daughter Essex in 2016, but it wasn't meant to be: In October 2020, the pair announced that they were going their separate ways after almost eight years of marriage. "We created the most beautiful children and shared memories that will never be forgotten. Our differences have taken a toll on our relationship and after years of attempting to repair the damage, we've decided that it is in our family's best interest to create new and separate lives for our children," Ashley said when they announced their split. The same year they broke up, Ashley launched her own practice, Premier Pediatric Dentistry, in Coral Gables, Florida.

_

Emily Maynard won Brad Womack's heart on season 15 of "The Bachelor," but once their engagement came to an end, she signed up to headline the eighth season of "The Bachelorette" in 2012. She accepted a marriage proposal from Jef Holm on the season finale.

_

Emily Maynard and Jef Holm called off their engagement in 2012 after he allegedly caught her exchanging racy text messages with NFL superstar Matt Leinart. Two years later, she married longtime friend Tyler Johnson, who became a stepfather to her daughter, Ricki, with her late first husband, race car driver Ricky Hendrick. They've since welcomed five more children: daughter Magnolia Belle and sons Jennings, Gibson, Gatlin and Jones West, who arrived in August 2022. In 2016, Emily released a book, "I Said Yes: My Story of Heartbreak, Redemption, and True Love," which went on to become a New York Times bestseller.

_

Desiree Hartsock starred on the ninth season of "The Bachelorette" in 2013 after Sean Lowe dumped her on season 17 of "The Bachelor." The bridal stylist got engaged to Chris Siegfried on the season finale.

_

In 2013, Desiree Hartsock and Chris Siegfried released a book of poetry together, "Diamonds and Hearts — A Poetic Memoir," and two years later, they tied the knot. The Seattle-based couple welcomed son Asher in 2016 and son Zander in 2019. (They have not shared their boys' faces on social media.) In 2021, Desiree dropped another book: "The Road to Roses." In 2020 and 2021, she hosted the faith-based podcast "The Heart of Purpose," which was relaunched as the "Do You See? Podcast" in February 2023.

_

Andi Dorfman — who famously walked away from Juan Pablo Galavis on season 18 of "The Bachelor" — temporarily left her job as an assistant district attorney in Atlanta to star on season 10 of "The Bachelorette" in 2014. She accepted a marriage proposal from Josh Murray on the season finale.

_

Andi Dorfman and Josh Murray called it quits in 2015. The following year, she alleged in her memoir "It's Not OK: Turning Heartbreak Into Happily Ever After" that he emotionally abused her throughout their relationship. Andi, who resigned from her job as an assistant district attorney in Atlanta, released her second book, "Single State of Mind," in 2018. She got engaged to her boyfriend of less than a year, Blaine Hart, in early 2022, and the couple married in Italy in May 2023.

_

JoJo Fletcher starred on the 12th season of "The Bachelorette" in 2016 after Ben Higgins chose Lauren Bushnell over her on season 20 of "The Bachelor." She got engaged to Jordan Rodgers — the estranged brother of football superstar Aaron Rodgers — on the season finale.

_

JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers — who got engaged for the second time in 2019 — tied the knot in May 2022. They co-hosted the short-lived CNBC home renovation show "Cash Pad" and were set to co-host another show — the reality competition series "The Big D" — until TBS scrapped the project (along with several other shows) as a cost-cutting measure amid the Warner Bros.-Discovery merger just three weeks before it was set to debut in July 2022. The show was later picked up by USA Network and debuted in June 2023.

_

After she competed for Nick Viall's heart on season 21 of "The Bachelor," attorney Rachel Lindsay headlined season 13 of "The Bachelorette" in 2017. She got engaged to chiropractor Bryan Abasolo on the season finale.

_

Rachel Lindsay and Bryan Abasolo tied the knot in Cancún, Mexico, in 2019. The following year, she and Van Lathan launched their "Higher Learning" podcast, which centers around "the biggest topics in Black culture, politics and sports." She also worked as a correspondent on "Extra" in 2017 and co-hosted MTV's "Ghosted: Love Gone Missing" series from 2019 to 2021 and the Bachelor Nation podcast "Bachelor Happy Hour," which she left in 2021 over the franchise's historic and ongoing diversity issues. In January 2022, the attorney released her first book, "Miss Me With That: Hot Takes, Helpful Tidbits, and a Few Hard Truths," which she followed up with her first novel, "Real Love," in March 2023.

_

Becca Kufrin starred on season 14 of "The Bachelorette" in 2018 just a few months after she accepted a marriage proposal from Arie Luyendyk Jr. on season 22 of "The Bachelor." (He dumped her as cameras rolled to reconnect with his runner-up, Lauren Burnham, whom he later married.) Becca got engaged to Garrett Yrigoyen on the finale of her season of "The Bachelorette."

_

Becca Kufrin and Garrett Yrigoyen called it quits in late 2020. The following year, she fell in love with Thomas Jacobs — who briefly competed for Katie Thurston's heart on season 17 of "The Bachelorette — on season 7 of "Bachelor in Paradise." They got engaged in May 2022 after she popped the question. In April 2023, the couple revealed that they're expecting their first child together in September 2023. In mid-2023, she left the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast, which she'd hosted since 2019.

_

After Colton Underwood dumped her on season 23 of "The Bachelor," Hannah Brown starred on season 15 of "The Bachelorette" in 2019. She accepted a marriage proposal from Jed Wyatt on the season finale.

_

Hannah Brown dumped Jed Wyatt in the summer of 2019 as their season of "The Bachelorette" aired after his ex-girlfriend, Haley Stevens, told several media outlets that they were still a couple when he left to appear on the show and that he ghosted her when he returned home. The former pageant queen briefly reconnected with her runner-up, Tyler Cameron, and then enjoyed a highly publicized flirtation with him when they quarantined together amid the coronavirus pandemic — but it wasn't meant to be. In early 2021, she started publicly seeing someone new: Adam Woolard, whom she met on a dating app. In 2019, the erstwhile Miss Alabama won the 28th season of "Dancing With the Stars" with partner Alan Bersten. Two years later, she released a bombshell-filled memoir, "God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life's Best (and Worst) Moments."

_

Before ABC cast Clare Crawley to star on season 16 of "The Bachelorette," the hairstylist dated Juan Pablo Galavis on season 18 of "The Bachelor," competed on the first two seasons of "Bachelor in Paradise" and got engaged to Benoit Beauséjour-Savard on "The Bachelor Winter Games." She ultimately left her season of "The Bachelorette" early after she accepted a marriage proposal from Dale Moss just two weeks into their relationship.

_

Clare Crawley and Dale Moss briefly split in early 2021, reconnected a few weeks later and called it quits for good that summer. But she didn't stay single for long: In late 2022, she took to Instagram to announce that she'd gotten engaged to her boyfriend of about a year, Ryan Dawkins. The couple married in February 2023. The same year, Clare — who co-owns De Facto Salon in Sacramento, California — revealed she's preparing to launch Soil Rituals, a wellness and personal care company.

_

After Clare Crawley left season 16 of "The Bachelorette" early, Tayshia Adams stepped in to replace the hairstylist. She previously competed for Colton Underwood's heart on season 23 of "The Bachelor" and romanced John Paul Jones on season 6 of "Bachelor in Paradise." She got engaged to Zac Clark on the finale of her season of "The Bachelorette."

_

Tayshia Adams and Zac Clark called it quits in late 2021. She returned to Bachelor Nation to co-host the 17th and 18th seasons of "The Bachelorette" with fellow former "The Bachelorette" star Kaitlyn Bristowe after Chris Harrison got the boot from the long-running franchise. She also co-hosted the "Bachelor Happy Hour" and "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation" podcasts, though she's no longer involved with either project. These days, Tayshia has been stirring up rumors that she's dating another reality star — Bravo hunk Luke Gulbranson — with whom she was first spotted in early 2023.

_

Katie Thurston headlined season 17 of "The Bachelorette" in 2021 after Matt James dumped her on season 25 of "The Bachelor." She got engaged to Blake Moynes — who first romanced Clare Crawley and Tayshia Adams on the previous season of "The Bachelorette" — on the final episode of her season.

_

Katie Thurston and Blake Moynes called it quits in late 2021. Less than a month later, she revealed that she was dating a different man who competed for her heart on her season of "The Bachelorette" — California-based bartender John Hersey, whom she eliminated during the second week of the competition. (Though they failed to make a connection while shooting the hit reality TV show, they became friends once the season started airing and were seen together several times that summer.) Blake publicly questioned the timeline of Katie's relationship with John and even accused them of having an emotional affair, which they both denied. Katie and John ultimately parted ways in mid-2022. She's now pursuing a career in stand-up comedy.

_

Elementary school teacher Michelle Young — who competed for Matt James's heart on season 25 of "The Bachelor" — headlined the 18th season of "The Bachelorette" in 2021. She got engaged to Nayte Olukoya on the season finale.

_

Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya called it quits in mid-2022. She hasn't publicly dated anyone since then. The teacher started co-hosting the "Bachelor Happy Hour" podcast with Becca Kufrin in early 2022, though Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt replaced them in mid-2023.

_

Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia first competed for Clayton Echard's heart on season 26 of "The Bachelor." They then co-headlined season 19 of "The Bachelorette."

On the season finale, which aired in September 2022, Gabby got engaged to Erich Schwer, while Rachel accepted a marriage proposal from Tino Franco, though they revealed on the "After the Final Rose" special that they called it quits as the season was airing after he kissed someone else — a woman he knew from before his time on the show — during a rough patch in their relationship.

_

It wasn't meant to be for Gabby Windey and Erich Schwer: They called it quits while she was competing on season 31 of "Dancing With the Stars" in late 2022. (She and partner Val Chmerkovskiy ultimately placed second behind winners Charli D'Amelio and Mark Ballas.) In the wake of the breakup, she sparked romance rumors with one of her competitors: "Jersey Shore" star Vinny Guadagnino.

In August 2023, Gabby revealed that someone else caught her eye: comedian and TV writer Robby Hoffman. She introduced her girlfriend on Instagram the same day she came out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community on "The View."

_

Rachel Recchia hasn't dated anyone publicly since her relationship with Tino Franco came to an end in late 2022, though she sparked reconciliation rumors with both her runner-up from season 19 of "The Bachelorette," Aven Jones, and with her ex, "The Bachelor" season 26 lead Clayton Echard.

In March 2023, she made headlines when she opened up about undergoing breast reduction surgery after a decade of struggling with physical pain and discomfort.

Since late 2022, she's lived in Los Angeles with roomie Genevieve Parisi, who also appeared on season 26 of "The Bachelor."
