| No Sweat! Kim and Pete Are ‘Excited’ for Their ‘Future’ Despite Kanye Drama Posted: 24 Feb 2022 05:00 AM PST Looking ahead. Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are focused on their relationship amid the couple’s drama with Kanye West. "Kim and Pete are very much excited about what the future holds for them as a couple," a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly. While it's "not the easiest time" for the duo as West, 44, continues to stir the pot amid his and Kardashian's divorce, the insider says, "They're refusing to let it derail or distract them as a couple." The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum, 41, filed for divorce from West in February 2021 after nearly seven years of marriage. The Skims founder has since moved on with Davidson, 28, confirming their relationship in November 2021. The Yeezy designer, who briefly dated model Julia Fox earlier this year, has been vocal about not wanting to let Kardashian go. In January, he raised eyebrows when he claimed his estranged wife wouldn't tell him the location of their 4-year-old daughter Chicago's birthday bash. The following month, West slammed Kardashian for her parenting style after she allowed their 8-year-old daughter, North, to post on TikTok. The estranged spouses also share sons Saint, 6, and Psalm, 2. The Saturday Night Live star hasn't been immune to West's outbursts. The rapper has seemingly thrown shade at Davidson in two new tracks, "My Life Was Never Easy" and "City of Gods" in recent months. Through it all, Kardashian and Davidson have remained committed to furthering their relationship. "The current circumstances make it awkward for them to shout their relationship from the rooftops," the source tells Us, noting that Kardashian's "current status" with West has made it difficult to be "overly public about how they're progressing." The Selfish author has also been "very mindful about phasing things in for the sake of the kids," the insider says, explaining that the minor bumps haven't affected how Kardashian feels about Davidson. "She adores Pete [and] they're spending as much time together as they can," the source adds, pointing out that things are "moving quickly in their own way." The KKW Beauty founder thinks the comedian is "awesome" and the twosome are "wildly attracted to each other, both physically and on an emotional level," per the insider.

| Halyna Hutchins' Husband: I'm 'So Angry' at Alec Baldwin Over Wife's Death Posted: 23 Feb 2022 06:13 PM PST  Speaking out. Matt Hutchins, the husband of late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins — who was killed on the set of Rust after a prop gun held by Alec Baldwin went off — is talking openly about the tragedy in his first interview since his wife's death. In a Today show interview airing on Thursday, February 24, Matt, sat down with host Hoda Kotb and discussed what it was like for him to watch the actor publicly deny responsibility for Halyna's death in his December 2021 sit-down with ABC News. During Baldwin's emotional discussion with George Stephanopoulos, the 30 Rock star told the host that he "didn't pull the trigger." He added: “Someone is responsible for what happened, and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me.” “I just felt so angry,” Matt, who shares 9-year-old son Andros with Halyna, said in a promotional clip released by Today on February 23. “I was just so angry to see him talk about her death so publicly in such a detailed way and then to not accept any responsibility after having just described killing her.” In that December interview, Baldwin, 63, recalled the moment the shooting occurred: "[Halyna's] guiding me through how she wants me to hold the gun for this angle. … I cock the gun. I go, 'Can you see that? Can you see that? Can you see that?' And then I let go of the hammer of the gun, and the gun goes off." As Matt relayed to Kotb, "The idea that the person holding the gun and causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me."
A week earlier, on February 15, Halyna's surviving family members — Matt and Andros — filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin and others who worked in production on the film, Us Weekly confirmed. "Mr. Baldwin and others were responsible and are responsible for safety on the job site," lawyer Brian Panish stated in a press conference at the time. Matt also told Kotb, "Gun safety was not the only problem on that set." He elaborated, "There were a number of industry standards that were not practiced and there's multiple responsible parties." Panish additionally stated that "reckless conduct and cost-cutting measures" on the set of Rust contributed to Halyna's untimely death. The Hutchins family's lawsuit is the latest in a long line of legal trouble for those involved with the film, including a crew member who is suing Baldwin and others for "severe emotional distress," and a medic who is suing producers over Halyna's death. Today has reached out for comment. |
| Priyanka Chopra Addresses Rosie O’Donnell Name Controversy, Public Apology Posted: 23 Feb 2022 05:26 PM PST Speaking her peace. Priyanka Chopra Jonas spoke out about her "awkward" run-in with Rosie O'Donnell — and the comedian's uncomfortable apology that followed. "I have never taken myself so seriously to think everyone would know who I am, or my work for that matter," the Quantico alum, 39, wrote via an Instagram Story statement on Wednesday, February 23. "But if you wanted to make a public apology for a very awkward private encounter, I think probably best to take the time to google my name before doing it or even try to reach out directly." The Citadel star — who O'Donnell, 59, mistook for author Deepak Chopra's daughter while she was eating with husband Nick Jonas on Monday, February 21 — explained why the A League of Their Own star's apology felt somewhat impersonal. "We ALL deserve to be respected for our unique individuality and not to be referred to as 'someone' or 'wife' especially in a sincere apology," the Indian actress continued. "If we can learn to respect our differences in an authentic was, the world we raise our children in will be amazing." Priyanka seemed to be pointing to the former View panelist's TikTok video in which she said, "Nick Jonas, I apologize and to the Chopra wife, I apologize too." In the clip, which O'Donnell posted on Monday, the Tarzan actress explained that she put her foot in her mouth when she "mistakenly thought" Priyanka was Deepak's daughter. "[I said,] 'Hi, I know your dad.' She goes, 'You do? Who's my dad?' And I go, 'Deepak,’" the former talk show host said in the video. "She goes, 'No, and Chopra is a common name.’"  O'Donnell confessed that she was "so embarrassed" by the faux pas, which is why she posted the public apology message. It wasn't until her second video, however, that she called the Matrix Resurrections actress by name. "Priyanka is her name. … I just want to apologize to her and to everyone who thought that it was really inappropriate of me. Sometimes I f—k up," the Sleepless in Seattle star said in the follow-up TikTok on Monday. Priyanka, for her part, concluded her Wednesday statement, writing, "Also PS: As I've said before, not all Chopra's are related to the great Deepak, just as not all Smith's are related to the legendary Will Smith." The Jonas Brothers musician, 29, showed support for his wife by reposting her message on his own social media account on Wednesday. "Well said my love," he commented. The Kingdom alum and the Baywatch actress tied the knot in 2018. They announced in January that they welcomed their first child via surrogate. |
| Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor: A Timeline of Their Relationship Posted: 23 Feb 2022 04:29 PM PST Plot twist! Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor‘s love story may not be perfect, but it seemingly has a happy ending. Stiller and Taylor, who married in 2000 and have costarred in many projects together, announced their split in 2017. Two years later, they made waves at the 2019 Primetime Emmy Awards as they smiled for photos on the purple carpet. The duo were also seen looking "happy" and never leaving "each others' sides," an eyewitness told Us Weekly at the time. At the same Hollywood night out, they were spotted chatting with Paul Dano, Zoe Kazan, Billy Porter and Eugene Levy at the awards show and its afterparties. (Stiller was nominated for two Emmys at the star-studded event — Outstanding Directing for a Limited Series, Movie or Dramatic Special and Outstanding Limited Series — for his work on the Showtime series Escape at Dannemora.) The Emmys marked one of many occasions that the twosome attended together after revealing their breakup in May 2017. "With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate," the Zoolander costars told Us in a joint statement at the time. "Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends. We kindly ask that the media respect our privacy at this time." Stiller and Taylor met while filming a 1999 TV pilot called Heat Vision and Jack, which never made it to air. And for the Night at the Museum star, it was pretty much love at first sight. "When I met her, I pretty much thought, 'That's the person,'" Stiller told Entertainment Tonight in a 2007 interview. "It was like, 'Wow, this is a great person. I love her.'" Taylor and Stiller remained tight-lipped about their relationship status in recent years. She notably dodged a question about whether they were officially back together in October 2018, exclusively telling Us at the time, "We're a big family. We're together all the time.” When pressed about her seemingly "nice" post-split relationship with Stiller, the Search Party star responded, "It's wonderful, it's wonderful." The pair continued to work together and have kept a low profile while coparenting their kids — Ella and Quinn. In February 2022, however, they confirmed they are back on. Scroll down for photos and details from the pair's on-and-off relationship over the past two decades:  The couple tied the knot in an oceanside ceremony in Kauai, Hawaii, on May 13, 2000.

(They also collaborated on the films DodgeBall: A True Underdog Story, Dedication, Tropic Thunder and Friendsgiving.) Moviestore Collection/Shutterstock  The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Ella, on April 9, 2002. She later scored roles in three of her dad’s projects: Megamind, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb and Escape at Dannemora. Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock  Taylor gave birth to the couple’s son, Quinn, on July 10, 2005, and he also had parts in Megamind and Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, as well as a voice role in Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa. Dan Steinberg/BEI/Shutterstock  The duo announced their separation on May 26, 2017, less than a year after Stiller announced he had secretly battled prostate cancer. Henry Lamb/Photowire/BEI/Shutterstock  Taylor and Stiller were spotted laughing and looking convivial as they shared a two-hour lunch in New York City’s Tribeca neighborhood. LRNYC / MEGA  Taylor avoided questions about her and Stiller’s relationship status at a charity event in October 2018, simply telling Us, “We’re a big family. We’re together all the time.” Patrick Lewis/Starpix/Shutterstock  The estranged couple were spotted together two nights in a row in late September. On September 21, they attended the 13th Annual Evening Before event in coordination with the Emmys, benefitting the Motion Picture & Television Fund. The next night, the duo stepped out at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles together. During the awards show, Taylor “was smiling and leaning forward and in toward” Stiller, an eyewitness told Us at the time. The pair looked “happy” and never left “each others’ sides,” the insider added. Christy Radecic/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  One month after attending the 2019 Emmy Awards together, Stiller and Taylor reunited at the Project ALS New York City Gala on October 23, with their daughter, Ella. “[Ben and Christine] weren’t hanging out together, only because they knew a lot of people at the event and were chatting and catching up with them. Same with Ella — hugging lots of people,” an eyewitness told Us at the time. “At one point, Ben put his arm on Christine’s shoulder to get her attention. It seemed very natural and organic.” Andrew H. Walker/Shutterstock  On November 18, the two former flames attended Rosie O’Donnell’s RTKids Gala together. At the event, the Zoolander actor was honored for his work in supporting children’s education throughout the world. Their eldest child, Ella, was also there with them. Danny Moloshok/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Taylor starred in the Thanksgiving holiday film Friendsgiving, which was released in October 2020 and produced by Stiller. YouTube  Stiller revealed to Esquire that the pair are officially back together after he moved home amid the coronavirus pandemic.“We were separated and got back together and we’re happy about that. It’s been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic,” he said. Invision/AP/Shutterstock |
| 'We're Happy'! Ben Stiller, Christine Taylor Are Back Together After Separation Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:44 PM PST Reunited and it feels so good! Nearly four years after Ben Stiller and wife Christine Taylor announced their separation, they have officially decided to give their marriage another shot. "Then, over the course of time, [our relationship] evolved," the Night at the Museum star, 56, told Esquire in an interview published on Tuesday, February, 22, noting that he moved back in with Taylor, 50, and their children amid lockdown for the coronavirus pandemic. He gushed at the time: "We were separated and got back together and we're happy about that. It's been really wonderful for all of us. Unexpected, and one of the things that came out of the pandemic." Stiller, who wed the Brady Bunch alum in 2000, likened their rekindled romanced to changing interests in equestrian endeavors. "A few years ago, I realized I don't like horseback riding. If there's an opportunity to go horseback riding, I'm probably not going to do it. Now, I like horses! I think they're beautiful. I like petting them. I like watching people ride horses, I like watching my kids ride horses," the King of Queens alum explained to the outlet. "I just don't really love riding horses. And once you know that, it just saves a lot of energy. So, yeah, I think we have a respect for the ways that we're similar and the ways we're different. And I think accepting that, you can really appreciate someone more because you're not trying to get them to change for you." He added: "Once you accept that, you save a lot of energy. 'This is something that works for me; this is something that doesn't work for me.' If you have that trust level with your partner, you know that me saying 'I don't like doing that thing' is not me saying 'I don't like you.'" The twosome — who share daughter Ella, 19, and son Quinlin, 16 — previously announced their separation in May 2017. "With tremendous love and respect for each other, and the 18 years we spent together as a couple, we have made the decision to separate," they told Us Weekly via a joint statement at the time. "Our priority will continue to be raising our children as devoted parents and the closest of friends. We kindly ask that the media respect our privacy at this time." The pair initially met on the set of Heat Vision and Jack in 1999 before they started dating. Amid news of their split, the twosome stayed close as they coparented their two children. "We're a big family. We're together all the time," the Wedding Singer actress previously told Us in October 2018. “It's wonderful, it's wonderful."

| Relive Khloe Kardashian and Lamar Odom's Whirlwind Romance Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:19 PM PST It was pretty much love at first sight when Khloé Kardashian met former NBA player Lamar Odom. The pair tied the knot in September 2009, after just month of dating, in a romantic ceremony that was featured on Keeping Up With the Kardashians. For the next four years, the twosome were in wedded bliss, getting matching tattoos, buying a home and trying for babies — a journey that was documented on their hit E! reality series, Khloé & Lamar. Their fairytale romance unraveled in late 2013, however, when Odom fell into a vicious cycle of addiction that would ultimately end with the athlete coming close to death after overdosing at a legal brothel in Nevada. The couple split in 2013 ahead of Odom's hospitalization, but Kardashian called off their divorce in late 2015, choosing instead to focus on her former partner's health. By May 2016, he had recovered, and the fashion guru filed for divorce once more — finalizing it seven months later in December. They went for a period of time without speaking, but after a new tell-all book from Odom and multiple cheating scandals on the part of Kardashian's beau Tristan Thompson, the pair are back in touch. (Kardashian shares daughter True with Thompson.) "She sent me a text yesterday," Odom said of his ex-wife on an episode of the Jenny McCarthy Show, noting that it was "friendly.” Several years after the pair's divorce, the basketball player still looked back fondly on his past relationship, even watching old clips of KUWTK and their spinoff, Khloé & Lamar. "My show with my ex wife Several months later, Odom revealed that the former flames don't speak to one another often — apart from a few flirty Instagram comments that he's publicly sent to the Good American cofounder. "I miss their family tremendously," Odom said on SiriusXM's Radio Andy in May 2021. "We have to live with the decisions that we make and then, hopefully in time people heal and [will] be able to forgive me." Scroll through for the pair's ups and downs through the years.  After dating for a few weeks, the reality star and former Los Angeles Lakers forward made their romance public during a PDA-filled night at West Hollywood club Guys and Dolls on September 3. A witness told Us Weekly, "There is no denying the chemistry." David Aguilera/BuzzFoto.com  "Khloe is smart and beautiful and that is very hard to find," Odom told Us on September 5 — two days after they debuted their relationship. David Aguilera/BuzzFoto.com  The two enjoyed a romantic meal at BOA restaurant in Beverly Hills on September 5. "I'm always excited when I'm with Khloé," he told Us. David Aguilera/BuzzFoto/FilmMagic  "He's a great guy," Khloé's sister Kim told Us of Odom. The three attended the L.A. premiere of White Out on September 9. Lester Cohen/WireImage  The couple were all smiles as they left a cafe in West Hollywood September 16. Two days after the outing, news leaked that the two were getting married. Splash News  Khloé picked out her wedding registry with mom Kris Jenner at Williams-Sonoma in Beverly Hills September 21. Kris on her daughter's sudden wedding: "If you meet somebody, you just know." Marcos Vasquez/BuzzFoto.com  While shopping with her family in Hollywood, she considered buying a Lakers lamp, an ode to Odom, who had just signed a four-year, $33 million contract. Chris Wolf/FilmMagic  At a Humane Society benefit in Los Angeles September 21, Odom played coy with reporters when asked why Khloe wasn't wearing a ring yet. "What ring?" he teased. Angela Weiss/Getty Images  On September 24, Odom celebrated the end of his bachelor life at STK restaurant in L.A. with pals, including Scott Disick, the father of Kourtney Kardashian's kids. One of his pals toasted, "This is to one ring and many championship rings!" David Aguilera/BuzzFoto/FilmMagic  The lovebirds tied the knot at Kardashian family friend Irving Azoff’s mansion on September 27, 2009 in front of roughly 200 guests that included Khloé’s famous family members and Odom’s L.A. Lakers teammates. Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage  They newlyweds cemented their love in ink in October 2009, when tattoo artist Dirk Vanderlinden inked the couple with a "L.O." on Kardashian's right hand, and "K.O." on both of Odom's hands. "Lamar and I were eating at Sunset Plaza and I just said, 'Let's go to Tattoo Mania! I want a tattoo!'” Khloé blogged at the time. John Shearer/WireImage  Khloé and Odom shelled out nearly $4 million for a home in Mulholland Park Estates in Tarzana, California, in November 2009. The seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom property, which also included a spa, waterfall, steam room and home theater, gave the couple plenty of space to start trying for a family in January 2010. "I want to so badly! That's a goal for me,” Khloé told 104.3 MY FM's Valentine in the Morning. Steve Granitz/WireImage  Though they married in September 2009, the pair didn’t embark on their honeymoon until June 2010, when they finally made time to head down to Mexico. The reality star and the basketball player stayed at Girls Gone Wild owner Joe Francis’ home. “They knew it would be very private and security would be tight there,” a source told Perez Hilton. Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage  The twosome’s reality series, Khloe & Lamar, debuted on E! on April 10, 2011, and portrayed them adjusting to their new sex life as Khloé tried to get pregnant. “It's a little weird when it comes to [scheduling] sex," Odom said on the show. The series would go on to run for two full seasons before Khloé pulled the plug in April 2012. Getty Images  The Revenge Body host seemingly got even more serious about starting a family with Odom in June 2012, when she began receiving fertility treatments at a L.A. clinic. Gregg DeGuire/FilmMagic  Despite the fact that the couple vehemently denied split rumors in February 2013, telling Us that their sex life was “intense,” multiple sources confirmed to Us in August 2013 that Odom’s issues with substance abuse had come between them. "The addiction had taken over their marriage," a mutual pal said. "The problem is cocaine. He would be high for three or four days at a time." That same month, the athlete was arrested for a DUI. Michael Loccisano/Getty Images  Odom sought help for his issues in September 2013, checking himself into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center. Frank Trapper/Corbis via Getty Images  Despite their best efforts to make it work, Khloé filed for divorce from her husband of four years on December 13, 2013. "She flip-flopped several times, but she can't imagine having kids with someone who refuses to seek help for his disease," an insider told Us of her decision. David Krieger/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images  It would be a full two years before Khloé and Lamar actually completed their divorce papers — the former couple got around to signing off on their paperwork in July 2015, with only a judge left to sign. Jim Spellman/WireImage  Tragedy struck in October 2015 when Odom was hospitalized after being found unconscious at legal brothel Love Ranch South in Pahrump, Nevada. The NBA champion suffered several strokes while incapacitated and a significant amount of cocaine was reportedly found in his system. His estranged wife rushed to be by his side and stayed with him overnight. Dimitrios Kambouris/E/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images for E!  In light of Lamar’s life-threatening injuries, the businesswoman put her divorce on hold in October 2015, asking a judge to withdraw the filing. “This is a very delicate and difficult time for both Lamar and Khloé, and the most sensible thing to do at such a time is not make any big moves and put everything on hold,” a source revealed to Us. “So that’s what she is doing.” Imeh Akpanudosen/Getty Images  After three long months, Odom left the Cedars Sinai hospital in January 2016. “Lamar is doing way better,” said an insider. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic  With Odom in the clear, Khloé made the move to end her marriage for the second time on May 26, 2016. A source close to the basketball player said that while he was sad about the next step, he was looking ahead to the future. “He is more independent now and with his friends all the time and his kids a lot. So he's ready to move on." Michael Buckner/Getty Images For AXE  The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was cautiously optimistic about a new man in her life — Thompson — in September 2016. “She seems more hopeful with Tristan — he’s different than the other guys she’s dated,” a source dished to Us. gotpap/Bauer-Griffin/GC Images  Seven years after saying their “I dos,” the longtime lovers settled their divorce in October 2016. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Yeezy Season 3  Odom took precautionary measures against relapsing in December 2016, voluntarily checking himself in for treatment. “He went to continue making sure he stays sober and on the right path,” a source exclusively told Us. “It was something he chose to do." Days later, his divorce from Khloé was finalized. Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic  The E! star and the New York City native had ceased all conversation by November 2017. “Khloe and Lamar have no communication,” a source told Us exclusively. “She wishes for the best for him.” Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Yeezy Season 3  The basketball star regretted the demise of his relationship following reports that Thompson had cheated on her with multiple women. “Lamar would absolutely get back together with Khloé, and realizes he wasn’t the best person he could be while they were together,” a source told Us. Michael Tran/FilmMagic  The Good American designer reached out to her ex-husband over a particular story in his tell-all memoir in May 2019. “She sent me a text yesterday,” the NBA player said on The Jenny McCarthy Show on May 29. “She talked about one of the stories that I told in the book about her coming to the hotel and putting her hands on a girl. She said that she didn’t even think that I remembered that story.” Odom added that their communication was “friendly.” Getty Images (2)  As Odom rewatched his wedding special from the E! series, he couldn’t help but get emotional reliving their best memories together. “I’ll never forget that I got married on TV,” he said in a March 2021 Instagram video while watching a Khloé and Lamar marathon on TV. “I get a little bit emotional watching it.” Casey Rodgers/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Odom remained grateful for the love and support he had from the former Revenge Body host and her family during their marriage, even though he had not been in touch with the Kardashian-Jenner squad in recent years. “Unfortunately, you know, due to my behavior and some bad decisions, we don’t really talk any longer,” he revealed during a May 2021 interview on Radio Andy. Broadimage/Shutterstock; Matt Baron/Shutterstock  After the reality TV star posted a sultry bikini snap on Instagram in July 2021, the former NBA star commented, “Hottie 🔥🔥😍😍❤️🥰🥰,” on his ex-wife’s post. Courtesy of Khloe Kardashian/Instagram  During his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, Odom made a point of expressing his appreciation for his former spouse and his regret for how their marriage ended. "I never thought about getting married again. I didn’t treat that good woman right," he said during a February 2022 episode of the CBS series, adding that he hoped to get in touch with Kardashian again. "I wish I was mature enough to handle [marriage] right, but I wasn't. If given the opportunity again, now I know what to do. What to do and what not to do. Sometimes it's hard for me to sleep at night thinking about her."After his eviction from the competition, Odom exclusively told Us that it was "really nice" to see a positive response from fans. "When you marry someone in 30 days, they'll always be connected to you somehow, someway. [Khloé will] always have a place in my heart," he gushed. "When I came out of the coma, she took care of me. I'm talking about a woman that wiped my backside when I couldn't do it myself. So, I'm fond of her for that. She had a lot of dignity and pride as well as I did." MediaPunch/Shutterstock |
| Emma Roberts Gave Garrett Hedlund ‘Multiple Ultimatums’ Before Split Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:12 PM PST  Moving forward. Emma Roberts and Garrett Hedlund were unable to make their romantic relationship work, but they are putting son Rhodes first, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “Garrett and Emma have a great coparenting relationship. When he's sober, he's a great guy and they've been handling coparenting very well," an insider tells Us, noting that the 37-year-old actor "has been battling addiction [issues] for years." According to the insider, the 31-year-old actress "gave him multiple ultimatums" before pulling the plug on their romance earlier this year. "They have a very amicable relationship with each other and are being very adult about their breakup," the source adds. Us confirmed last month that Roberts and Hedlund called it quits after nearly three years together. Us broke the news of the Unfabulous alum's pregnancy in June 2020. The pair were "surprised, shocked and happy at the same time, and so are their families," one source noted at the time. Another insider added, "Garrett is really looking forward to becoming a dad and feels as though this is something he needed. He is ready to take on all the daddy duties, and Emma getting pregnant has forced him to become more responsible. He thinks that's a blessing." Roberts gave birth to Rhodes that December. "Both parents are thrilled and mother and baby are doing well," a fourth source told Us at the time. Us later confirmed that the Country Strong star sought help for substance abuse amid the Scream Queens star's pregnancy. He checked into treatment after he was arrested for driving under the influence with a blood alcohol level four times the legal limit. More recently, Us reported that Hedlund was taken into custody for public intoxication. He was released on a $2,100 bond on January 23 and has a court date set for March 28. Months earlier, Hedlund made a rare comment about his personal life, gushing about being a father. "I've done a lot of dad things," he told Extra in July 2021. "The best part is we were just in Boston, my gal [Roberts] was working so it was every day all day with mister young man. My favorite part of every day was the bedtime stories [with] me telling him stories of his grandfathers, which was wonderful for me and hopefully him. It was just a really sweet, connecting dad moment." |
| Prince Harry’s Cutest Moments With the Queen Through the Years Posted: 23 Feb 2022 03:00 PM PST Prince Harry's bond with Queen Elizabeth II has remained strong through the years, despite his decision to step away from his senior position within the royal family along with his wife, Meghan Markle. Despite reports that Harry “blindsided” his grandmother, the prince turned that down during a March 2021 interview on CBS. “I have too much respect for her,” he shared at the time, noting that they discussed the exit three different times before it became public information. "I've spoken more to my grandmother in the last year than I have done for many, many years," he said during the interview, adding that they’ve Zoomed with her so she could see her grandson Archie. “My grandmother and I have a really good relationship and an understanding. And I have a deep respect for her. She's my Colonel-in-chief, right? She always will be.” Last year, Prince Charles' former butler, Grant Harrold, spoke about the queen's "very special relationship" with her grandson in a Quest Red royal documentary. Harrold said that the queen is able to "let her guard down a bit with" Harry. "Sometimes, I wonder if maybe he reminds the Queen a little bit of [her husband] Prince Philip," Harrold continued. "You know, with that wonderful, let's say, the kind of glint in his eye." Royal correspondent Katie Nicholl gave an inside look at Harry's relationship with Queen Elizabeth in her 2010 book, William and Harry: Behind the Palace Walls. Nicholl revealed that the monarch has been "on the receiving end" of Harry's pranks. She was informed about a prank Harry pulled that involved changing her voicemail recording, giving the queen's private secretary Robin Janvrin the "shock of his life." Harry, who Nicholl described as "more troublesome" than his brother, Prince William, said in the recorded voice message: "Hey, wassup? This is Liz! Sorry, I'm away from the throne. For a hotline to Philip, press one, for Charles press two, for the corgis, press three." In the 2016 ITV documentary, Our Queen at Ninety, Harry praised the queen for her work over the years. "I look at the Commonwealth and think, 'Look how much it's achieved,'" he said at the time. "She should be incredibly proud of what she's led and what she's achieved and what she's created amongst a huge amount of people from different ethnic backgrounds, different skin colors, different experiences, different islands — whatever it be. Hats off to her, it’s incredible." The Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced via Instagram on January 8, 2020, that they planned to step down as senior members of the British royal family and "become financially independent." The parents of Archie revealed they have chosen to "carve out a progressive new role" for themselves after "many months of reflection and internal discussions." In the wake of the pair's joint statement, a source told Us Weekly exclusively that their announcement was made "without the official blessing" of the queen. "It's not that they didn't care — it was a miscommunication," the insider added. Still, Harry and his grandmother have had love and laughs over the years. Despite the family drama, Harry returned to the U.K. after Philip died in April 2021 and the prince spent time with his grandmother on at least two different occasions during the visit. While he left before her 95th birthday — which came days after the funeral — Elizabeth knew Harry was thinking of her. "Prince Harry got to say goodbye to the queen before her birthday and he left her a gift and card from him and Meghan," a source told Us at the time.

| Pete Davidson Deactivates Instagram Account (Again) Amid Kanye West Feud Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:56 PM PST All hail the king of Staten Island! Pete Davidson has had his fair share of highs and lows through the years — from professional successes to broken engagements. In the early 2010s, the comedian made quite a name for himself in the entertainment industry after starring on Guy Code in 2013 and joining Saturday Night Live as one of the longtime series' youngest cast members at age 20 in 2014. Throughout his career on the sketch comedy show and beyond, Davidson has worked hard to bring conversations about mental health to light. In September 2017, he revealed he had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder during an appearance on the "WTF With Marc Maron" podcast. "I've been a pothead forever. Around October [or] September last year, I started having these mental breakdowns where I would, like, freak out and then not remember what happened after. Blind rage," he noted on the show. "I never really did any drugs, so I was, like, 'I'm gonna try to go to rehab. Maybe that'll be helpful.' So I go and get off weed. They told me, they're like, 'You might be bipolar.' … One of my psychiatrists [diagnosed me]." The following month, he talked about his diagnosis on SNL. "As some of you know, I was recently diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, a form of depression," he shared in an October 2017 episode. "First of all, if you think you're depressed, see a doctor and talk with him about medication and also, be healthy. Eating right and exercise can make a huge difference." As he grows with and learns from his own personal struggles, Davidson's public success has continued. In May 2020, his semi-autobiographical movie, The King of Staten Island, was released. Starring and cowritten by the stand-up comedian, the film earned him a People's Choice Award nomination for the Comedy Movie Star of 2020. Outside of his career, the Suicide Squad actor is also known for his star-studded love life, from his two-year relationship with Cazzie David to his whirlwind engagement to — and split from — Ariana Grande. In April 2021, Us Weekly confirmed the writer was dating Bridgerton star Phoebe Dynevor. "They're happy with each other. He makes her laugh. Pete is a good guy and definitely a charmer," a source shared at the time. "He's easy-going and fun to be around." Four months later, however, the duo called it quits. "The distance put a strain on the relationship and it made it hard to maintain," an insider told Us in August 2021, adding that the pair "had a great time while they were together." Though Davidson had previously implied he might leave SNL after its 46th season, he returned for another round in October 2021. "I can’t believe I’m back,” he said during the season 47 premiere that month. Weeks later, his personal life made headlines again when he was spotted hanging out with Kim Kardashian ahead of Halloween. In November 2021, the duo confirmed their relationship when they were photographed holding hands in Palm Springs, California.

| Sam Hunt's Estranged Wife Hannah Lee Fowler Files for Divorce Again Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:45 PM PST  Off again. Sam Hunt‘s estranged wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, filed for divorce again after withdrawing her initial petition. The Alabama native submitted a second round of paperwork on Friday, February 18, after initially filing in the wrong county. The nurse originally pursued a divorce from the 37-year-old country singer in Davidson County, but withdrew the suit hours later. Her lawyers refiled the same petition in nearby Williamson County, according to documents obtained by Us Weekly on Wednesday, February 23. In her original divorce complaint, Fowler accused the “Hard to Forget” singer of infidelity. The documents also revealed that the University of Alabama at Birmingham alum is pregnant with the estranged couple’s first child and is due in May. Neither Hunt nor Fowler had previously confirmed that they are expecting. Fowler requested "transitional alimony, rehabilitative alimony and alimony in [the] future" in her petition, and she asked to be named the primary residential guardian of the duo’s baby. Elsewhere in the documents, she claimed that "all hopes of reconciliation are exhausted." The “Body Like a Back Road” singer has not commented on the split. The Grammy nominee and Fowler tied the knot in April 2017 after dating on and off for nearly 10 years. Last year, the American Music Award winner said that he and Fowler were discussing the possibility of expanding their family. "We've really started thinking about it seriously here these past few months, so that's on the agenda right now," the Georgia native said during a July 2021 interview with Audacy’s TC and Dina B. "And I'm hoping that we'll have some good news sooner than later." One month later, the “Take Your Time” singer was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail in connection with his November 2019 arrest for DUI. He was also required to pay a fine, complete an alcohol safety course and had his driver’s license suspended for one year. All but 48 hours of Hunt's jail sentence were deferred, according to a report from The Tennesseean. The singer was set to serve his remaining time in the DUI Education Centers, an alternative sentencing facility. After his initial arrest, the former college athlete issued a public apology for his actions. "Thursday night I decided to drive myself home after drinking at a friend's show in downtown Nashville," he tweeted in November 2019. "It was a poor and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone who was unknowingly put at risk and let down by it." |
| Before the Breakup: Sam Hunt’s Ups and Downs With Hannah Lee Fowler Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:36 PM PST A rocky road to romance. Sam Hunt and his now-estranged wife, Hannah Lee Fowler, had a love story worthy of a country song — or maybe even a whole album. After meeting in their early 20s, the country star and Fowler dated for roughly four years until he decided to move to Nashville and pursue a music career. “She was under the impression, and I had sure expressed this to her at some point, that she was the No. 1 priority. I would choose her over everything,” Hunt told The New York Times in March 2020 about the reason for their initial split. “And then it sort of turned around and I said, actually, I want to choose [my career].” Despite the breakup — and Fowler’s subsequent move to Hawaii — Hunt couldn’t let go of their memories together, even naming his debut album, Montevallo, after her hometown. “It was either [be with] her or push on as a bachelor,” the “Leave the Night On” singer recalled in a January 2017 interview with Nash Country Daily. “I realized she was meant to be a part of my life and when I realized that, as fast as I could, I went to try to convince her that was the way it needed to be.” The couple reconciled in 2016, although they have kept the exact timeline under wraps, and announced their engagement in January 2017. Around the same time, Hunt released the painfully honest ballad, “Drinking Too Much,” as a public apology to Fowler for all of the hurt he caused her during their relationship and their time apart. “I’m sorry I named the album Montevallo / I’m sorry people know your name now / And hit you up on social media,” he sings in the first verse. “I know you want your privacy / You’ve got nothing to say to me / But I wish you’d let me pay off your student loans with these songs you gave to me.” Though Hunt had Fowler’s permission to release the track on New Year’s Day 2017 — she even plays a few bars of “How Great Thou Art” on the piano near the end — the musician acknowledged that she struggled with being a public figure. "She has her own life and her ambitions and her own dreams and things are important to her, and I want to support those as much as she's supported me,” the “Breaking Up Was Easy in the ’90s” singer told Entertainment Tonight in June 2017. “I think it's been a little lopsided these first few weeks of marriage, so I owe her for sure … but she's having fun.” Despite his fame and some legal troubles — including his 2019 arrest for driving under the influence — the duo appeared to be enjoying married life and were even looking towards the future together. “We’ve been talking about [having kids] for a while, but we’ve really started thinking about it seriously here these past few months, so that’s on the agenda right now,” Hunt confessed during a July 2021 appearance on KISS Country 99.9 Miami’s TC & Dina radio show. “And I’m hoping that we’ll have some good news sooner than later.” However, the next time the “Hard to Forget” musician and Fowler made headlines was in February 2022 when Us Weekly confirmed that she filed for divorce. According to court documents, a pregnant Fowler alleged that Hunt is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and “adultery.” Later in the filing, the registered nurse claims that “all hopes of reconciliation” with Hunt had been “exhausted.” Keep scrolling to relive all of Hunt and Fowler’s ups and downs through the years.  The couple met in 2008, around the time when Hunt — who had previously tried out for the Kansas City Chiefs following an impressive college football career — began pursuing music. He and Fowler dated on and off for several years before calling it quits when Hunt moved to Nashville to work as a songwriter. Courtesy Sam Hunt/Instagram  Many of the songs on Hunt's 2014 debut album were inspired by their years-long, tumultuous romance. "I spent a lot of time talking to her about songs. I probably should have included her as a co-writer on a lot of these songs because I spent a lot of time chatting with her," the "Cop Car" singer told ABC News Radio in 2014. "I got a lot of insight into females in general from being in a close relationship with her. I used a lot of that when writing on the songs, because a lot of the songs are relationship-based." Scott Gries/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  A few years after their breakup, Hunt realized that he couldn't stop thinking about Fowler and flew to see her in Hawaii, where she was living at the time. "I think last summer I went out [to Hawaii] about seven times in about three months," the "Kinfolks" musician told Entertainment Tonight in 2017. "Trying to talk to her about coming back. And the seventh trip I convinced her." Debby Wong/Shutterstock  Just two days after he dropped "Drinking Too Much," Us confirmed that Hunt and Fowler were engaged. The "Take Your Time" singer popped the question during a trip to Israel, though he confessed to radio host Bobby Bones that they had a "little disagreement" not long beforehand. "We got real for a minute, after this little rift that we had. In that moment, it just felt perfect," he said during a January 2017 appearance on The Bobby Bones Show. "Everything — after I asked her to marry me — just fizzled away, and we celebrated and got excited together." Larry Marano/Shutterstock  While performing "Body Like a Back Road" at the Academy of Country Music Awards in April 2017, Hunt put the spotlight on his normally-private partner by singing to Fowler in the audience. "I told her that I might come down and sing to her; I don’t think she knew I was going to plop down next to her," he told E! News afterward. "It was her first time to an awards show like that ... so I just wanted to throw her into the deep end. But she came out, and after that she was so much more comfortable even though she didn’t enjoy those 30 seconds very much!" Invision/AP/Shutterstock  The couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony in Hunt's hometown of Cedartown, Georgia, in April 2017. "We are both kind of introverted people for the most part, so we don’t like celebrating ourselves too much," the songwriter told CBS earlier that month. "If there ever is a time to do it, it is now, and it is more to celebrate the union of marriage than it is each other. I am excited about doing that.” Jim Smeal/Shutterstock  One month after the wedding, Hunt gushed about his new wife at the Billboard Music Awards. "She’s beautiful. I did really good!" he told E! News in May 2017. "It feels great [to be married]." The "Saturday Night" musician added that there's a "spiritual strength" he feels when wearing his wedding ring. "I feel a little bit taller now that I’m wearing it," Hunt said. Rob Latour/Shutterstock  Following the success of "Body Like a Back Road," Hunt took a musical and social media hiatus to focus on his marriage. "I had made myself answer the question, you know, if it comes down to it, are you willing to retire? Give all this up [for Fowler]." Hunt told The New York Times in March 2020. "I did commit to that." The "Break Up in a Small Town" singer added that he knew the attention "wore" on his wife and he wanted to ensure she felt comfortable with what he shared through his music. "One of my biggest concerns was for her not to ever think that I was trying to exploit anything from her or our relationship [but] she likes to hear the person that she knows in the songs," Hunt added. Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  In November 2020, Hunt was arrested for driving under the influence in downtown Nashville, Tennessee. Officers took him into custody after he was allegedly observed driving the wrong way and swerving in and out of the lanes. His blood alcohol content was measured at .173 — well above the legal limit of .08. Hunt apologized on Twitter the following day, writing that "it was a poor and selfish decision and I apologize to everyone who was unknowingly put at risk and let down by it." Two months after his arrest, Hunt released the single "Sinning With You," which touched on some of his personal issues and how they've affected Fowler. “My past was checkered, your spotless record was probably in jeopardy / Your place or my place, his grace and your grace, felt like the same thing to me," he sings on the track. Metro Nashville Police Department  In the lyrics of his sophomore album, Southside, which was released in April 2020, Hunt opened up about his relationship with Fowler and apologized for what he put her through before they reconciled. "I thought I wanted my freedom, I told myself I'd have a ball / But it turns out going out and chasing dreams and lonely women / Ain't freedom after all," the country star croons on "2016," the album's opening track. "If I could go back now and take it back somehow / I'd drive a thousand miles to your house, walk in like I walked out ... I'd take 2016 and give it back to you." Ben Hider/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  In August 2021, Us confirmed that Hunt had pleaded guilty to two misdemeanors related to his DUI arrest. He was sentenced to 11 months and 29 days in jail, though all but 48 hours had been suspended. Hunt was expected to serve the remaining hours of his sentence in the DUI Education Centers, an alternative sentencing facility, instead of in prison. The "House Party" performer also agreed to complete and school safety course, and his driver's license was suspended for a year. Paul A Hebert/Shutterstock  Fowler filed for divorce in February 2022 after nearly five years of marriage. In court documents obtained by Us, the Alabama native alleged that Hunt is “guilty of inappropriate marital conduct” and "adultery." In the filing, Fowler also revealed that she is pregnant with the couple's first child and is due in May 2022 and requested to be named the "primary residential guardian" of the baby. Invision/AP/Shutterstock  Fowler filed a Notice of Voluntary Nonsuit in February 2022 just hours after her initial divorce complaint, according to court documents obtained by Us. The nonsuit is another term for dismissal, meaning that the nurse is no longer seeking a legal separation from Hunt.The Alabama native filed the withdrawal paperwork at 2:13 p.m. in Tennessee after originally submitting her divorce documents at 11:43 a.m. on February 18. She classified her decision as “voluntary nonsuited without prejudice,” meaning Fowler can file for divorce a second time in the future. However, in accordance to state law, she would not be able to withdraw the divorce filing for second time. Rob Latour/Shutterstock  Us confirmed on February 23 that Fowler revoked her initial divorce petition because it was filed in the wrong county. Her lawyers submitted the same petition in Williamson County on February 18 after withdrawing the incorrect Davidson County filing, meaning that she still intends to divorce Hunt.

| Lauren Graham Apologizes After Fueling 'Gilmore Girls' Reunion Speculation Posted: 23 Feb 2022 02:30 PM PST  Clearing the air. After Lauren Graham accidentally fueled Gilmore Girls reunion speculation, she is setting the record straight. "Sweet Peoples: sorry for any confusion," the actress, 54, wrote via Twitter on Tuesday, February 22. "I retweeted that clip because I thought it was fun but I have nothing @GilmoreGirls-related to announce except that I continue to be bad at the internet and I continue to love you all." Hours earlier, the Hawaii native made headlines when she reshared a clip from season 4 onto her social media page. She captioned her tweet with a nerd-face emoji, alongside the original "how we're feeling today" message from the show account. The original tweet — posted on Monday, February 21 — featured a GIF of Graham's character holding up two cell phones to both of her ears when Luke Danes (played by Scott Patterson) came up to her to tell her food was ready. Lorelai then quipped that she was talking to her "other two personalities.” (She was actually speaking with then-boyfriend Jason Stiles, played by Chris Eigeman, and daughter Rory Gilmore, played by Alexis Bledel, on separate phone lines in the scene.)  After Graham's simple retweet, eagle-eyed fans were quick to wonder if her sudden social media appearance meant a GG-related announcement was on the horizon. "Are you hinting something here Lauren or just teasing us?!," one social media user tweeted. Another quipped, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? NOW THAT LAUREN IS IN IM SCARED." The Parenthood alum starred as the fast-talking Lorelai Gilmore for seven seasons, which aired on the WB and then the CW between 2000 to 2007. She later reprised her role — alongside TV daughter Bledel and most of the OG cast — for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life. The Netflix limited series premiered in November 2016. While showrunner Amy Sherman-Palladino and the stars have not confirmed future episode plans of GG, the Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist alum is always down to slip on Lorelei's eclectic wardrobe again. "I put that window into all my new jobs just in case," Graham said during a March 2021 SiriusXM interview. "And it's not — I don't want to start any new rumors — it's not for any concrete reason. I have a loyalty and an openness to working with [Amy], first of all." She continued at the time: "And because we could never have predicted [a revival] in the past, so that door is open. Is it creatively warranted? Is it, you know, something? I don't know. I don't know. But yes, technically yes." |
| Patrick J. Adams Recalls Meghan Markle Seeing Him Naked on Stage Posted: 23 Feb 2022 01:49 PM PST  A trip down memory lane! As Patrick J. Adams prepares for his Broadway debut, the actor recalled the time Meghan Markle was in attendance for one of his past performances — and saw a new side of her then-costar. "She certainly was at the play where I was naked and she had a good time making fun of me after," Adams, 40, who worked with Markle, 40, on Suits, shared with Entertainment Tonight in an interview on Wednesday, February 23. "So, maybe she'd like a repeat performance." The Orphan Black alum noted that he “would love” for the Duchess of Sussex to see his performance in Take Me Out, adding, “I'll send her an invite for sure.” Adams and Markle formed a friendship when they played love interests on Suits. The USA series, which ran from 2011 to 2019, followed Mike (Adams) who talked his way into a job at a law firm even though he never attended law school. Markle portrayed Rachel, a paralegal at the office who formed a connection with Mike. The former actress filmed her final scene for Suits in 2017 amid her engagement to Prince Harry. Markle departed the series to move to the U.K. and married the Duke of Sussex, 37, in 2018. Two years later, the couple made headlines when they announced that they were stepping back from their duties as working members of the royal family. In February 2021, they confirmed their decision to not return to their senior roles and instead moved to California. Adams previously revealed that he had stayed in touch with his former costar amid her major life change, telling ET in 2020, "We’ve texted a few times. We both started families at roughly the same time, obviously, her family has been a relatively high-profile one, but I’m super happy to have her back on this side of the water." In March 2021, Adams took to social media to defend Markle after she was accused of bullying royal staffers, tweeting, “Meghan Markle and I spent the better part of a decade working together on Suits. From day one she was an enthusiastic, kind, cooperative, giving, joyful and supportive member of our television family. She remained that person and colleague as fame, prestige and power accrued.”  The SAG Award nominee, who shares two daughters with wife Troian Bellisario, called out the “seemingly archaic and toxic” British royal family while reflecting on the severe harassment that Markle received due to her relationship with Harry. “It sickened me to read the endless racist, slanderous, clickbaiting vitriol spewed in her direction from all manner of media across the UK and the world,” he continued. “But I also knew that Meghan was stronger than people realized or understood and they would regret underestimating her.” Adams expressed his shock as “the hunt continued” during Markle’s second pregnancy. She welcomed son Archie in May 2019 and daughter Lilibet in June 2021. “On any sort of decent planet that would be a time to stop sharpening the knives and let these two people enjoy the magical early months and years of starting a family,” he wrote at the time. “It’s OBSCENE that the Royal Family, who’s [sic] newest member is currently GROWING INSIDE OF HER, is promoting and amplifying accusations of ‘bullying’ against a woman who herself was basically forced to [flee] the UK in order protect her family and her own mental health.” The Canada native concluded: “IMO, this newest chapter and its timing is just another stunning example of the shamelessness of [an] institution that has outlived its relevance, is way overdrawn on credibility and apparently bankrupt of decency,” he tweeted on Friday. “Find someone else to admonish, berate and torment. My friend Meghan is way out of your league.” |
| Queen Elizabeth II Returns to Work Virtually After COVID-19 Diagnosis Posted: 23 Feb 2022 01:29 PM PST  Back to business! Days after Buckingham Palace announced that Queen Elizabeth II had tested positive for coronavirus, she has resumed her daily schedule of meetings and appointments — from afar. The sovereign, 95, attended her weekly conversation with U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday, February 23, the palace confirmed to royal reporter Omid Scobie. Following her regularly scheduled meeting with Johnson, 57, Elizabeth has two virtual appointments scheduled for Thursday, February 24. However, the palace told Scobie that it's TBD whether they will go on as planned. The monarch's illness made headlines on Sunday, February 20, as the palace confirmed that she was "experiencing mild cold-like symptoms but expects to continue light duties at Windsor over the coming week." "She will continue to receive medical attention and follow guidelines," the Sunday statement to Us Weekly continued. Amid her health battle, Elizabeth canceled her Tuesday, February 22, virtual meetings as she recovered. "As Her Majesty is still experiencing mild cold-like symptoms she has decided not to undertake her planned virtual engagements today, but will continue with light duties," Buckingham Palace explained via a Tuesday statement. Despite skipping out on a few royal engagements, Elizabeth remained committed to her regal duties. "Of course, she has a team of doctors to lean on whenever needed and a support staff that's second to none," a source exclusively told Us of her progress. "But thus far Her Majesty has been handling this without any fuss or need to involve too many others in her recovery." The long-running regent previously received her first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in January 2021 alongside her husband, Prince Philip. (The Duke of Edinburgh died in April 2021 at age 99.) "[The shot] was very quick, and I've had lots of letters from people who have been very surprised by how easy it was to get the vaccine," she recalled during a February 2021 virtual meeting with U.K. health officials, per The Guardian. "And the jab — it didn't hurt at all." The queen continued at the time: "Once you've had the vaccine, you have a feeling of, you know, you're protected, which is I think very important. I think the other thing is, that it is obviously difficult for people if they've never had a vaccine … but they ought to think about other people rather than themselves. I think it is remarkable how quickly the whole thing has been done and so many people have had the vaccine already." Elizabeth's COVID-19 bout comes days after Us confirmed that both Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla had tested positive and were self-isolating. |

| Cheryl Burke, Matthew Lawrence Split Days After Spending Christmas Together Posted: 23 Feb 2022 12:50 PM PST A heartbreaking end to the holidays. Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence officially separated last month — just days after they spent Christmas together. The Dancing With the Stars pro, 37, listed January 7 as her date of separation from the Boy Meets World alum, 42, in the divorce paperwork she filed in Los Angeles on Friday, February 18. Two weeks earlier, Burke shared an Instagram snap of herself and her husband enjoying the holidays with their pooch, Ysabella.  “Wishing you a very Merry Christmas The Dance Moms alum filed for divorce on Friday, citing irreconcilable differences. According to court documents obtained by Us Weekly, the duo had a prenuptial agreement in place. The twosome, who tied the knot in May 2019, met during season 3 of DWTS when Lawrence’s older brother, Joey Lawrence, was a contestant. The I Can Do That alum and the Pennsylvania native initially dated from February 2007 to February 2008. After calling it quits, they reunited in 2017 and got engaged the following year. During an interview with Us in April 2020, Burke said that the early days of the coronavirus pandemic had “tested” the couple “for sure,” but she said that overall, their first year of marriage had been “great.” Lawrence, for his part, said that “constant communication” was the couple’s secret to a healthy relationship. “When you stop that communication and when you don’t try every day is when things start to slowly fall apart,” he explained. “I think that’s really important.” At the time, the pair said they were holding off on expanding their family, in part because of the pandemic and a potential move. “We’re just waiting to see what happens because I think we were going to move, we were going to start that next journey,” the Brotherly Love alum told Us. “But everything’s a little bit on pause right now. When this starts to clear out, I think we’ll have a better view or understanding.” While they didn’t have any children together, the duo were proud parents to many pets. In addition to their French bulldog, the couple have “45-50 reptiles that live” with them. “No snakes: That was the deal, no snakes,” Burke said during a January appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show. “But when we dated a little over a decade ago, I knew I would be marrying a guy who loves reptiles." |
| Adam McKay Breaks Down His Rift With Will Ferrell: ‘I F—ked Up’ Posted: 23 Feb 2022 12:45 PM PST A collaboration for the ages. Will Ferrell and Adam McKay have produced tons of comedy classics together, but their partnership — and their friendship — came to a halt in 2019. The duo first connected while working at Saturday Night Live in the mid-1990s. Ferrell joined the show as a cast member in September 1995 for the series’ 21st season, while McKay came on board as a writer. The Big Short director originally auditioned for an onscreen role on the long-running NBC variety show, but he was offered a role as a writer instead. He became head writer at age 27 within one year of joining the crew. Ferrell, meanwhile, became one of SNL‘s biggest stars of all time, appearing in classic sketches where he played characters including Alex Trebek and Craig the Spartan cheerleader. After he left the show in 2002, he reunited with McKay, who’d left the previous year, to work on feature films. Their first project together was 2004’s Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, which became an instant hit with its quotable lines and hilarious cast. The movie was so beloved by fans that the duo decided to make a sequel nearly a decade later. “Wherever we were in the world, whatever we were promoting, the last round of the interview was always, ‘Can I ask you a few questions about Anchorman? Will there ever be a sequel?'” Ferrell told The Guardian in December 2013, explaining why the producing partners decided to make 2013’s Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. “So, eventually Adam and I were like, ‘Why not? We love this character.'” Over the next six years, however, their prolific partnership came to a halt. In April 2019, the pair decided to dissolve their company, Gary Sanchez Productions, after nearly 15 years, announcing that all projects in production at the time would be completed. Six months later, McKay struck out on his own with Hyperobject Industries, while Ferrell proceeded with Gloria Sanchez Productions, which was originally spun off from Gary Sanchez to produce female-focused work. In October 2021, the Blades of Glory star explained that one reason for the split was his former partner’s ambition to keep growing Gary Sanchez into a Hollywood empire. "Adam was like, 'I want to do this, and this, and this’; he wanted growth and a sphere of influence, and I was just like, 'I don't know, that sounds like a lot that I have to keep track of,'" Ferrell told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. "To me, the potential of seeing a billboard, and being like, 'Oh, we're producing that?' I don't know. … At the end of the day, we just have different amounts of bandwidth." Keep scrolling for a look back at McKay and Ferrell’s ups and downs over the years:  The comedy partners met while working at SNL in the '90s. After the show was almost canceled following season 20, McKay and Ferrell helped revitalize its appeal along with new cast members Darrell Hammond, Cheri Oteri and David Koechner and new writers Steve Higgins, Paula Pell and Colin Quinn. Carolyn Contino/BEI/Shutterstock  The pair's first collaboration after their SNL exit, Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy, raked in more than $90 million at the box office and became a fan favorite, landing on several lists of best comedies of all time. Dreamworks/Apatow Prod/Kobal/Shutterstock  McKay and Ferrell officially founded Gary Sanchez Productions, named after a fictional character, the "Paraguayan entrepreneur and financier" named Gary Sanchez. The company went on to produce films including Step Brothers, The Other Guys, The Campaign, Tammy, Daddy's Home and Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga. Eric Charbonneau/Shutterstock  The duo founded the Funny or Die website, which eventually spawned Billy on the Street with Billy Eichner, Drunk History and the Emmy-winning series Between Two Ferns With Zach Galifianakis. Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock  McKay and Ferrell followed up the success of the first Anchorman with Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, featuring cameos from Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Liam Neeson, Kanye West, Drake, Jim Carrey and many more. Paramount/Kobal/Shutterstock  Holmes & Watson, starring Will Ferrell as Sherlock Holmes and John C. Reilly as Dr. John Watson, premiered after years of being stuck in development, but it bombed at the box office. McKay, who helped edit the film, later told Vanity Fair that the "thing was just in rough shape" when he was brought in to work on it. COLUMBIA/Moviestore/Shutterstock  After expanding to produce TV shows, including Succession and Motherland: Fort Salem, the twosome decided to dissolve Gary Sanchez. “The two of us will always work together creatively and always be friends," they said in a joint statement at the time. "And we recognize we are lucky as hell to end this venture as such.” Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock  McKay cast Reilly in his still-untitled HBO limited series about the Los Angeles Lakers. The Vice director later pointed to this incident as the one that caused the end of his friendship with Ferrell months after they ended their business partnership. Matt Sayles/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  McKay launched his own production company, Hyperobject Industries, and entered into a five-year first-look deal to develop content with HBO and HBO Max. Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  During an interview with Vanity Fair, McKay explained why he thought the Reilly casting in the Lakers series hurt his relationship with Ferrell. The Stranger Than Fiction star first found out about the news via Reilly, who called him to let him know that he'd gotten the part. “I f—ked up on how I handled that,” McKay explained. “It’s the old thing of keep your side of the street clean. I should have just done everything by the book.” The director claimed that he's since reached out to his former comedy partner, but Ferrell hasn't returned his messages. “[He] took it as a way deeper hurt than I ever imagined and I tried to reach out to him, and I reminded him of some slights that were thrown my way that were never apologized for," McKay said. “The whole time it was like I was saying it out loud, ‘Let’s not become an episode of Behind the Music. Don’t let it happen.’ And it happened.” Victoria Will/Invision/AP/Shutterstock (2)  Speaking about safety protocols on film sets, McKay revealed that Ferrell could have been injured while filming Anchorman 2 because of a problem with a rig. "It was a scene where Ron Burgundy was going to hang himself. It was a silly joke," he recalled to The Hollywood Reporter. "For a half a second, the rig didn't operate properly and there was actual tension on the rope, but then it gave way and Will was OK. Thank God no one was hurt. We were sick about it for two days. We said, 'All right, let's stop. Let's have a meeting.'"The Step Brothers director said that the incident is one reason he's so careful on set. "It was really scary," he added. YouTube |

| Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence’s Relationship Ups and Downs Posted: 23 Feb 2022 12:29 PM PST The good and the bad. After a decade-long pause, Cheryl Burke and Matthew Lawrence rekindled their romance in 2017, but five years later, they split for good. The Dancing With the Stars pro and the Boy Meets World alum began dating in 2007, before going their separate ways a year later. The couple reconnected in February 2017 and quickly started planning their future together. "We really want to do it right. We want to do the steps of being engaged, moving in together, getting married and having kids," Burke exclusively told Us Weekly in October 2017. "I'm not getting any younger. We want kids and all of that, so we'll see what happens." Six months later, Lawrence told Us what the key to making their relationship work, saying, "We're really good friends and that's where it all starts." The Brotherly Love alum added: "I think we have really good companionship and I think we just built from there. That's the most important thing. We can actually hang out. When we go away together, we really enjoy it. When it's just the two of us, it's the best." The Mrs. Doubtfire actor asked Burke to marry him a month later, in May 2018, with the same diamond her late father, Steve Burke, gave to her mother.

She later reflected on her relationship with the Jumping Ship actor in a December 2020 YouTube video. The dancer noted that her history of "dating abusive men" stopped when she met Lawrence, whom she married in May 2019. "Looking back, I honestly think that the first relationship I ever had that did not fit this abusive pattern was when my now-husband, Matt, and I dated the first time around back in 2007," Burke admitted. "I honestly think at the time when we first dated, I didn't clearly love myself enough to think that I deserved to be with someone who was actually nice to me." She added that Lawrence is the "complete opposite of everything bad about my past relationships" and she is "so grateful and happy" that the universe brought them back together.

| Cheryl Burke, Matthew Lawrence Split After Nearly 3 Years of Marriage Posted: 23 Feb 2022 12:09 PM PST Calling it quits. Cheryl Burke filed for divorce from Matthew Lawrence after nearly three years of marriage. The Dancing With the Stars pro, 37, submitted the paperwork in Los Angeles on Friday, February 18, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. She listed her date of separation from the Boy Meets World alum, 42, as January 7 and cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split. The papers also noted that the pair have a prenuptial agreement in place. Burke and Lawrence met during season 3 of Dancing With the Stars when his brother Joey Lawrence was a contestant. They initially dated from February 2007 to February 2008 before ending things. The duo reunited in 2017 and got engaged in May 2018. They eventually tied the knot in May 2019. The dancer's final Instagram post with the actor was in December 2021. "Wishing you a very Merry Christmas," she captioned a photo of herself, Matthew and their dog. Days before their separation, Burke spoke about her relationship with the Mrs. Doubtfire star on The Kelly Clarkson Show. "I love animals, but he has reptiles," she said at the time, quipping that their marriage worked because "opposites attract." She added: "He has 45 to 50 reptiles that live beneath us. No snakes: That was the deal, no snakes. But when we dated a little over a decade ago, I knew I would be marrying a guy who loves reptiles." Burke previously told Us in April 2020 that she felt "a sense of ease and peace" since getting married, while Matthew acknowledged that spats were "going to happen" as the then-newlyweds quarantined together. "A lot of this I've actually learned from Cheryl," he explained at the time. "It's just the constant communication. When you stop that communication and when you don't try every day is when things start to slowly fall apart." The twosome also revealed at the time that their plans to start a family were "on pause" amid the coronavirus pandemic. "I think it's healthier. I don't know if being pregnant right now would be ideal for me," Burke told Us, adding that she "always wanted to be a mom" and felt that it was "natural for us to continue onto that next step in our lives." More than a year after her wedding to Matthew, the Dance Moms alum divulged that she was two years sober. She later credited her husband with supporting her throughout her journey with alcohol addiction. "He is just my rock," she told Good Morning America in October 2020. "I don't know where I would be without him." |
