| Making It Official! Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman Are Engaged: Reports Posted: 11 Jan 2022 05:59 PM PST He put a ring on it! Simon Cowell and Lauren Silverman are engaged after more than a decade together. The couple was first linked in 2004 after meeting in Barbados. Seventeen years later, the former X-Factor judge, 62, popped the question on Christmas Eve in December 2021, several outlets, including Page Six and E!, reported on Tuesday, January 11. The duo's romance had a rocky start as Silverman, 44, was married to Cowell's friend Andrew Silverman when they first got together. Lauren finalized her divorce from the property mogul in August 2013, which is the same year she and Cowell went public with their relationship. Six months later, the America's Got Talent judge welcomed his first child, son Eric, with then-girlfriend Lauren. The baby boy is Lauren's second son — she shares 16-year-old Adam with her ex-husband. Despite their unconventional start, Cowell has gushed over his love and their life since becoming parents to Eric. In October 2014, he revealed that while being a dad is great, getting married wasn't something he was ready for just yet. “I’m the only iconic bachelor left in the entire world,” he joked during an interview with HELLO! magazine at the time. “Thanks for that, George Clooney!” (The Ocean's Eleven star, 60, married Amal Clooney earlier that year after being one of Hollywood's most eligible bachelors for years.) The British TV personality said he wanted to keep the title "a while longer," explaining, “I’ve never said no to marriage, but then again I couldn’t imagine having a kid at one point and now look at me.” Cowell admitted that he was "always nervous" about what would happen with his partner if he were to have a child but noted that Lauren has made the transition easier. “The fact is, our baby wasn’t planned [and] was actually the best thing for us to have done and we’re very happy now," he added. Four years later, Cowell called the socialite his "rock for the past few years," saying during his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony that she has "put up with everything I put up with." The former American Idol judge exclusively told Us in September 2019 that he was happy with his and Lauren's family, revealing that having another baby was something they weren't thinking about at the time. "I think he's quite happy being the only son right now," Cowell said of Eric at the time. "But we have a very, very close relationship. We're like buddies." |
| Candace Cameron Bure Wants '1 More Hug' From Bob Saget: 'You Were the Best' Posted: 11 Jan 2022 04:46 PM PST Not ready to say goodbye. Candace Cameron Bure reflected on her friendship with Bob Saget days after his death on Sunday, January 9. "Oh, Bob. Why'd you have to leave us so soon?" the 45-year-old actress wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, January 11. "We are all family, but you were the glue. The sticky, messy, squishy, sweet, lovable glue." Cameron Bure played Saget's oldest TV daughter, D.J. Tanner on Full House from 1987 to 1995. She later reprised her role on the Netflix revival, Fuller House, which ended in 2020 after five seasons. Saget, who portrayed Danny Tanner on both series, was by her side every step of the way. "My childhood is wrapped up in you, my formative teenaged years and the rest of adulthood. You taught me to feel deeply at such a young age," the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star continued. "You were never afraid or ashamed to share your emotions, to cry, to love, to laugh and say it out loud. We've always been so deeply connected since the day we met when I was 10 years old."  The California native explained that the late comedian — who was pronounced dead on Sunday in Orlando, Florida, at the age of 65 — was much more than a father figure to her over the past 35 years. "[You were] one of my closest friends in life," Cameron Bure wrote, noting that Saget's death "hurts like nothing I've ever felt before." The A Shoe Addict's Christmas actress detailed how much he meant to her, writing, "I love you, I love you, I love you. You knew that. I knew that. But I have to say it again." Cameron Bure pointed out that the former America's Funniest Home Videos host was taken too soon. "I want one more hug. I want one more text that says, 'Oh, btw, it's me Bob' after a long rant. I want one more laugh. I want to roll my eyes at you one more time," she continued. "I want you to tell me to watch something but then tell me maybe I shouldn't because of my faith." The Hallmark Channel star recalled Saget being "so protective" over her during their friendship, saying that he "cared about everything and everybody." To Cameron Bure, the Pennsylvania native was one of a kind and will always be a big part of her life. "You were the best. You were … Bob. There will never be another like you," she concluded. "I wish you could see the outpouring of love you have. You've certainly left a beautiful legacy in kindness, compassion, loyalty, generosity, and love Like many of her Full House costars, Cameron Bure mourned the loss of Saget shortly after news broke on Sunday that he died in Florida one day after performing a stand-up show in town. At the time, the Orange County Sheriff's Office confirmed his passing, noting via social media that "detectives found no signs of foul play or drug use in this case." The former child star tweeted her initial reaction to the heartbreaking news, writing, "I don't know what to say. I have no words. Bob was one of the best human beings I've ever known in my life. I loved him so much." Saget is survived by his wife, Kelly Rizzo, whom he wed in October 2018. His legacy is also carried on by his three daughters, Aubrey, Lara and Jennifer, whom he shared with ex-wife Sherri Kramer. |
| Lisa Vanderpump: COVID-19 'Finally Got Me' Posted: 11 Jan 2022 04:26 PM PST The pandemic isn’t over. Just as it did in 2020 and 2021, Hollywood’s A-list continues to be affected by COVID-19 in 2022 — but they largely attribute their fast recoveries to vaccines. In January, Late Night With Seth Meyers only returned from holiday break for one show before suddenly having to go on hiatus amid the omicron variant’s prevalence. “The bad news is, I tested positive for COVID (thanks, 2022!) the good news is, I feel fine (thanks vaccines and booster!),” Seth Meyers wrote via Twitter on January 4. “We are canceling the rest of the shows this week, so tune in next Monday to see what cool location we will try and pass off as a studio!!!” Meyers’ fellow NBC late night host Jimmy Fallon revealed a day prior that he’d recently recovered from COVID-19. The Saturday Night Live alum made it clear that he tested negative before returning to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on January 3. “Hey guys, on the first day of our holiday break I tested positive for Covid,” he captioned a photo via Instagram of himself masked in a room marked “reserved for testing use.” The room was decorated with an iconic Diff’rent Strokes quote, which Fallon appreciated. He continued, “I was vaccinated and boostered which made me lucky enough to only have mild symptoms. Thank you to the doctors and nurses who work so hard around the clock to get everyone vaxxed. Thank you to NBC for taking the testing protocols so seriously and doing a great job – and also thanks for putting me in the ‘What 'chu talkin' about Willis?’ isolation room when they told me the news.” In the comments section, Fallon told a fan that he completely recovered, writing, “The positive came back on 12/18. Back at work today and feeling 100%!” The NBC hosts both advocated for vaccination. As of January, the CDC recommended a booster shot for people over age 16 five months after completing the primary series. Meyers and Fallon each had a booster before testing positive. Similarly, Whoopi Goldberg also had a breakthrough case amid the highly contagious variant’s spread. Her View cohost Joy Behar announced the news on January 3 and said the Sister Act star was expected to be fully recovered within a week. “Why am I here instead of Whoopi? Well, Whoopi, unfortunately, tested positive over the break, but she’ll be back probably next week,” Behar explained. “Since she’s vaxxed and boosted, her symptoms have been very, very, mild. But we’re being super cautious here at The View.” The daytime talk show opted to film remotely for the week in the midst of Goldberg’s positive test. “They say there’s no place like home for the holidays and that’s exactly where we are this year,” Behar said. “Happy New Year from all of our living rooms. As you can see, we’re back in boxes and doing the show remotely — hopefully for just a week. I’m praying that it’s just a week, but you never know because this omicron thing is all over the place.” See the stars who have tested positive for COVID-19 in 2022:  The Today anchor announced on January 10 that she was filming the show from home because she tested positive for COVID-19. “Here we go Hoda, we're trading places,” Guthrie said days after Kotb revealed her own coronavirus battle. “I’m working from home, you're back in the studio. You have a negative test for COVID, I just tested positive for COVID, so here we go.” Guthrie added that she had mild symptoms: "A little sniffles, not much more than that.” Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock  Hours after Tori Spelling revealed her whole family was sick, the Chopped Canada host thought he would need a ventilator after a particularly tough bout. “This is the first place I’m going once I get over COVID," McDermott captioned a throwback Instagram photo at the ice rink. “I’ve got to be honest, this scared the s—t out of me. My breathing was so compromised, I thought I was going to be put on a ventilator. Slowly turning the corner to recovery. Be safe out there.” AFF-USA/Shutterstock  The View cohost tested positive for a breakthrough case on January 7, though was “feeling pretty so good so far,” Navarro said as she confirmed the news during the show. "I did what the CDC recommended — the minute I felt a little bit of a tickle in my throat, I assumed I had it and I've been isolating,” Navarro told her fellow hosts. ABC/Lou Rocco  “Tbh the start to this year has been quite interesting,” the Duck Dynasty alum captioned a January 7 Instagram post. “It started off by me getting FLURONA (flu + covid) (yikes) so obviously I was so bummed to miss passion but I was so thankful that God gave me the strength to still preach my message to an empty room despite being so sick. My faith from that experience grew so much 🤯 His spirit is truly living within us!” In addition to her flurona diagnosis, Robertson found her home had a rat infestation, noting, “It’s disgusting🙃 and we are exhausted from getting over sickness and being out of our home.” Donn Jones/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  “I share a lot on social media but this is one thing I didn’t want to share,” the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum wrote via Instagram on January 7. “But, at this point, people are getting frustrated not getting responses personally and business-wise from me and wondering why I’m MIA so I finally decided to share. Our entire family has COVID. Yes, every single member got it. We all have varying degrees of symptoms. I was last to be symptomatic. We all were praying it was just a bad winter cold. But it wasn’t.” She continued: “Nothing is worse than wanting to care for your little ones but feeling so sick you can barely function yourself. I feel useless as a parent. Devastated. A mom is supposed to take care of their kiddos when sick.” Courtesy of Tori Spelling/Instagram  After the Dancing With the Stars professional was feeling “sick” amid rehearsals for the DWTS live tour, he confirmed his coronavirus diagnosis on January 7 via Instagram Story. He has since been isolating away from the rest of his costars. “I’m happy to say that I’m feeling fine and the rest of the cast is healthy,” the Russia native explained in his social media video. “I cannot wait to rejoin the tour in the next couple of days.” Courtesy of Gleb Savchenko/Instagram  The Late Late Show with James Corden took a brief hiatus in early January after the host tested positive for COVID-19. “I’m fully vaccinated, boosted, and because of this, am fortunate enough to say I feel completely fine,” he wrote on January 6 via Instagram. “The show will be off the air for the next few days. Stay safe everyone. All my love, James x.” Art Streiber/CBS  After being noticeably missing from the Today show on January 5, host Craig Melvin revealed on January 6 that she tested positive for COVID-19. “Thx for well wishes! Feeling good.. ,” the co-anchor tweeted at the time. “Cant wait to see you all when I am in the clear! Xo.” Kristina Bumphrey/StarPix/Shutterstock  The Dead & Company announced on January 5 that Mayer will not be at their Mexico shows as he has coronavirus. "Today, just prior to leaving for Mexico, per his physician, @JohnMayer tested positive for COVID-19 and will be unable to perform at the upcoming 'Playing in the Sand' event in Riviera Cancun January 7-10,” the band said in an Instagram statement. “In these unprecedented times fans should expect many rare and different tunes.” Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  “Happy New Year! Gutted to have been out the past two weeks,” the Broadway star wrote via his Instagram Stories on January 5, noting he was back in the theatre for Moulin Rogue The Musical. “But Omicron got me. Shout to @aaron_c_finley for holding it down. Stay safe. Get jabbed. Come see us at The Hirschfeld.” Andrew H. Walker/Shutterstock  "I too have tested positive for COVID-19," the Black Panther actress tweeted on January 4. "I'm fully vaccinated and taking care in isolation, so I trust I will be well. Please do all you can to keep yourself and others protected from serious illness. #StayMaskedAndVaxxed." Stephen Lovekin/Shutterstock  The model revealed via Instagram that she tested positive for the virus shortly after the new year. Amy Sussman/Shutterstock  The Illinois native canceled a week of Late Night With Seth Meyers on January 4 and attributed his mild symptoms to the vaccine. John Salangsang/Shutterstock  The Tonight Show host didn't reveal his positive diagnosis until he was completely recovered on January 3. MediaPunch/Shutterstock  The View cohost was absent from the show on January 3 after testing positive. Evan Agostini/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The "Bang Bang" singer revealed on January 2 that she tested positive for COVID-19 a month prior, and she believed she contracted it at a Los Angeles concert on December 14. “I got covid at this show,” Jessie captioned a video from the show via Instagram. "BUT The audience could clap in time." Matt Baron/Shutterstock |
