“I got my six-month scan MRI and … no sign of tumor,” Philipps, 47, told fans in a Tuesday, September 8, Instagram video before sharing that the procedure, which stands for magnetic resonance imaging and captures clear internal structure photos, did find something else.

“However, I do have a sinus infection … which also makes sense because my eye’s been red. My left eye, for the past week — and if you are somebody who’s followed me for a really long time, you know those sinuses, honey. They have been out to get me since day one,” she said. “I’m going to the sinus doctor tomorrow morning. See what we’ve got to do.”

The actress’ health update comes after she recently publicly marked six months since undergoing her successful brain surgery. “YESTERDAY WAS 6 MONTHS SINCE MY BRAIN SURGERY REMOVED THAT TUMOR FROM MY BRAIN!” Philipps captioned a Thursday, September 3, Instagram carousel that included a mirror selfie of her in a hospital gown, seemingly snapped during a mammogram. “Well guess what? My mammogram was all clear too! Woo!”

Busy Philipps Reached Out to Joe Amabile Amid Diagnosis: ‘Brain Tumor Brother’

Philipps revealed in August that she had been diagnosed with a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare slow-growing tumor. During an interview with People, the Dawson’s Creek alum shared that she was recovering at the time. “I’m grateful that I’m alive,” she told the magazine, which reported that she showed no obvious symptoms ahead of her diagnosis.

It was only during a Prenuvo full-body scan in February that she made the discovery, which left her “hyperventilating” while “trying to breathe.”

The scan was conducted one day after her former costar James Van Der Beek died, with Philipps telling the outlet that she had asked her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, at the time whether she should cancel the scan after learning of the devastating news. She ultimately went ahead with it in Van Der Beek’s honor. (The actor died from complications of stage III colorectal cancer. He was 48.)

Busy Philipps Sparks Romance Rumors With Jason Selvig After Tumor Diagnosis

James’ widow, Kimberly Van Der Beek, shared a message of support for Philipps after she went public with her brain tumor diagnosis. “We love you @busyphilipps and you got angels in heaven,” Kimberly, 44, wrote via Instagram in response to Philipps’ interview.

Although Philipps will need to kick her sinus infection, she told fans that she’s grateful for her successful recovery. “I’ll take a sinus infection over a brain tumor any day,” she said with a laugh in Tuesday’s clip.

The former Knots Landing star, 85, revealed the rigorous routine that keeps her in tip-top shape weeks after launching her OnlyFans account.

Mills told Fox News in a new interview published on Saturday, September 5, that she builds her abs by doing cardio and reps including 100 sit-ups a day, 50 leg lifts and stretching. “I have a ballet barre in my little gym,” she added. “And ride the bike for about 45 minutes or an hour. I play tennis five times a week sometimes. And so that’s very, very important.”

As for her diet, “I’ve always been anti-sugar.”

“I read a book a long time ago called Sugar Blues that really talked about the sugar industry and everything, and I have stayed away from it ever since,” she said, referring to the 1975 bestseller by William Dufty.

The actress said that she’s always valued her health and was very active in her younger years.

“I started out as a dancer, a ballerina. I mean, I was on pointe, the whole thing,” she said, revealing that keeping up with her classes gave her great habits that she has since maintained. “So that gave me a discipline that most people don’t have because ballet is very hard.”

Mills also shed light on her new OnlyFans account, revealing it has been doing “incredibly well” since she joined the platform in July.

“They want to know me,” she shared of her subscribers. “They want to know what I do during the day when I’m home. They want to see my home. They want to know much more about my personal life than we ever experienced back in the ’80s and the ’90s that, you know, the fans were cut off from.”

Mills rose to fame while portraying Abby Cunningham on the soap opera Knots Landing, a role that ultimately earned her three Soap Opera Digest Awards. She went on to appear on General Hospital, V.C. Andrews’ Dawn and Doctor Odyssey — just to name a few.

As for her private life, Mills welcomed her daughter, Chloe Mills, via adoption in 1994. Nearly seven years later, she met her longtime partner, Larry Gilman.

“I was very concentrated on my career, but at a certain point, I realized there was something missing — it was a child,” she told People in 2022. “So I went after it. By that time, I was 54 and people said, ‘You’re going to be so old [to] have a little toddler running around.’ I never felt that. I never felt older than the other mothers who were probably in their 20s.”

On Sunday, September 6, the rapper, 26, posted a provocative video to Instagram showing off her new ink, which is located on the back of her upper thighs — just below her buttocks.

Ice’s new ink features the words “saint” and “sinner” on each thigh in cursive font.

“For the love of the game,” she captioned the video, which was set to the tune of her new single “Out My Face (My Baby)” featuring Lil Yachty.

Ice — real name Isis Naija Gaston — shot to fame in 2022 with the song “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and gained further recognition when she collaborated with friend Taylor Swift on the latter’s “Karma” remix the following year.

“I relate to Ice in many ways, but I think her dedication and focus is what blew me away from the very start,” Swift gushed to Variety about her pal in September 2023. “She’s extremely professional without being cold. Playful and fun without ever taking her eye off the prize. She knows what is and isn’t ‘her’ and sets those boundaries with grace. She studies the industry and other artists’ careers but is very clear about charting her own definitive, original path. It’s her ability to carefully find that balance that impresses the hell out of me.”

“That’s my sis. We was talking about a bunch of things,” Ice said in a Variety profile at the time. “She’s so funny. We was sipping on a little something something. Just chatting, vibing.”

Ice was on hand for Swift’s July 3 wedding to Travis Kelce, according to ESPN talk show host Pat McAfee, and even serenaded the couple with a song. Swift and Kelce, both 36, tied the knot at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past summer in front of a star-studded guest list.

Speaking on his eponymous show in July, McAfee said he wasn’t familiar with all of the songs performed at the ceremony, including a song by Ice, but said the rapper “had a lot of energy up there.”

“I guess me saying Avril Lavigne played ‘Sk8r Boi’ was the first time that it came out,” he shared. “But she was awesome.”

“To be clear, those musicians … really cool. Like, one would just call out the other and then they would come up and they would just do their s***,” he added of the musical performances at the wedding.

“That was the most spectacular evening I have ever been a part of. I cannot wait to chit-chat about that throughout the day,” McAfee said. “I’m sure there was something that I agreed to not talk about, but from the things that I’ve been reading about, other people [are] talking about it, like, kinda sorta ’cause there were no phones in there. There is no notes section, no writing or anything, so it’s literally all just memory.”

“I know I’m so skinny right now. I can’t eat because the things I do … decreases my food. I feel like death. I look like death,” Glanville, 53, told fans in a Sunday, September 6, Instagram video that captured her slender frame in a kitchen as she prepared daily IV infusions.

She continued, “I just finished this IV, it’s Imipenum. It’s on a pump. I had to learn to do all these with the nurse. Now she comes four hours a day in the evenings to do my other IV but I have to do this IV before she comes for the 4-hour IV, and then I start this at 4 o’clock, the Imipenum, and I have that overnight. 18 hours a day. It’s a lot of setup.” (Imipenum is an antibiotic used in conjunction with Cilastatin to treat infections caused by bacteria, according to the Cleveland Clinic.)

Dressed in exercise gear with a bandage wrapped around one of her biceps, the reality star also provided a window into her lifestyle via the clip’s caption. “For the first time, I’m showing you what my life has really looked like behind closed doors. The treatments. The IVs. The exhaustion. The days nobody saw,” Glanville wrote of “part 1” of her story. “I haven’t been ready to talk about all of it publicly, and there’s still a lot I’m not ready to share yet. This is only one minute of a much bigger story.”

Brandi Glanville Is Struggling to Pay Her Bills: ‘I've Exhausted My Savings’

The health update comes after Glanville revealed in June that a benign tumor in one of her facial lymph nodes provided a hurdle amid the return of her facial parasite. (Glanville suffered from facial disfigurement due to the parasite in the past, revealing in 2024 that she’d spent more than $113,000 on treatments.)

She said on a June episode of her “Unfiltered” podcast that the non-cancerous tumor “could be why the fluid is going around my face,” adding during the episode that she “can wear makeup for, like, 15 minutes, and [then] I have to take it off.”

The reality star, who rose to fame on the Bravo series from 2011 to 2015, spoke to Us in November 2025, revealing that her health issues sparked a “slow process.” Noting that she’d moved house in search of a “fresh start,” Glanville said at the time, “I’m finally getting back to my normal routine and feeling like myself again. The new space has really helped me reset and focus on creating a calmer, more positive environment for myself.”

She continued, “I’m enjoying keeping things simple, spending more time at home, and really taking care of myself … I’m actively filming my YouTube series and working on a variety of new projects, so my focus is really on everything I’m creating today. It’s been exciting to grow and explore new platforms.”

While Glanville is only beginning to open up about her IV needs, she did recently reveal all regarding the vaginal rejuvenation surgery she underwent in 2009 after her ex-husband Eddie Cibrian allegedly commented on her body’s changes after childbirth.

“The only way I could stop f***ing my ex-husband was to be a virgin again,” she told her podcast cohost James Maas about the surgery. “You know, I spit out two kids and [Cibrian] made a comment like, ‘It’s not what it used to be.’”

“I don’t know what to do with my boobies,” Rexha, 37, wrote via X early on Sunday, September 6. “They just got so massive and I hate the straight men in my comments who only come for that but, then again, a girl still wanna dress sexy. Idk we need an app for girls and gays.”

In a follow-up tweet, the pop star acknowledged that certain social media users claim she appears “slutty” for wearing tight-fighting outfits.

“I feel like when girls with curvy bodies wear something tight we automatically look slutty,” she wrote.

Bebe Rexha Reveals Her Confidence Comes From 'Not Giving a F***'

Rexha further confirmed that her weight gain is due to her polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and “eating too much bread.” She was diagnosed with PCOS, a hormonal condition that affects an individual’s ovaries and often leads to painful periods, fertility issues and continuous weight fluctuation, in 2023.

“I went to the doctor, like, last year and I — a lot of women actually have this and they don’t know — [was] diagnosed with PCOS,” Rexha said on The Jennifer Hudson Show in May 2023, revealing her diagnosis. “It’s one of the leading causes of why women gain weight and are obese. I literally jumped, like, 30 pounds so quickly, maybe a little bit more.”

That same year, Rexha opened up about dealing with an onslaught of body-shaming comments.

Bebe Rexha's Ups and Downs Over the Years

“Seeing that search bar is so upsetting,” she tweeted at the time. “I’m not mad ‘cause it’s true. I did gain weight. But it just sucks. Thank you to all the people who love me no matter what. … I’ve always struggled with my weight. A bitch likes to eat.”

Rexha was briefly hospitalized in May 2024 after dealing with “so much pain” related to her PCOS battle.

“Two weeks ago, I was in urgent care,” she recalled in a TikTok video. “My doctor thought it was appendicitis because it was so bad, but it was actually a cyst that had burst. Tylenol didn’t work, Advil didn’t work. I was sick to my stomach, the pain was so bad. The only thing that helped me, and I think you should try this if you have cysts, [is] a heating pad.”

Nearly two years later, Rexha shut down further body criticism after one fan circulated throwback photos of the singer at different weights.

“My thought is… My new album, Dirty Blonde, is out June 12th. Available for pre-order now,” she tweeted in May. “You can support me by buying my album.”

“So good to be back in the sea. Finally got into the water the other week at 2 months postpartum and paddled on my surfboard for the first time in over 2 years,” Mariano, 42, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, September 5. “I caught 0.3 waves, but I am stoked.”

She continued, “Being connected to the ocean and surfing again is such a necessary step in reconnecting to myself. Seeing how I’ve been pregnant for what feels like the past 10 yrs with 2 babies only 17 months apart in age, this all means more to me than I can ever explain on an IG caption.”

Mariano and Ventimiglia, 49, welcomed son Rock-Anthony in July. (The couple’s eldest daughter, Ke’ala, previously arrived in January 2025.)

“These last couple of weeks have been chaos, but in the best possible way,” Mariano wrote via Instagram at the time, announcing her son’s birth. “Welcome back home Rock-Anthony Makoa Ventimiglia. Can’t wait for all of the adventures ahead with our family of 5!”

Us broke the news in October 2023 that the This Is Us alum and Mariano secretly wed several months earlier after a private courtship. One year later, Mariano revealed her pregnancy with Ke’ala, who was born in 2025 just weeks after their family home was lost in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

“We’re doing great. My wife is the strongest person I know, and to be able to rebound from any of that is huge,” Ventimiglia exclusively told Us in December 2025. “But at the same time, [we’re] still dealing with insurance a year later. We’re still dealing with the remnants of the fires, but thank God we’ve been responsible with our funds and finances and were ready for something like this to happen.”

According to the actor, he and Mariano learned to appreciate the “simple necessities of life” after their home was destroyed.

“There’s nothing we need other than a roof over our head, food on our table,” he told Us at the time. “But [with] everything now I’m like, ‘What does my kid need? What would give her freedom?’ It’s anything from ‘Hey, let me make sure I’ve got a handful of pacifiers so she can sleep’ to ‘Well, I should probably set up a 529 exchange [account] so her college is paid for.’ And these were things [I learned] through friends of mine that had been fathers way earlier than me.”

“Another show for the books! Had such a blast,” Smart, 38, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, September 5, sharing footage from the North American Championships competition this week. “I’ve always said ‘just stepping on stage is a win for me!’ And I completely stand by that.”

Smart sported a blue micro bikini as she competed in the Masters 35+ and Open Class D categories based on age and height, respectively.

“I placed at the bottom of both classes. Regardless of where I placed, I loved the whole experience, had an amazing coach (@slcrobynmaher), got to step onstage with my best friend (@mpholsombake), and had the best support squad in the audience I could ask for,” she noted. “I brought a better physique and stage presence than at my previous shows, and I’m so proud of myself for the hard work, discipline and bravery it takes me to compete. So here’s to pursuing goals and not giving up!”

Elizabeth Smart's Trainer Shares Her Routine for Bodybuilding Competitions

Sharing more images from the competition to her Instagram Stories, Smart revealed her husband, Matthew Gilmour, dutifully cheered her own despite the loss. (Smart and Gilmour, who have been married since 2012, share three children.)

“So grateful for all of Matthew’s support,” she gushed.

Smart debuted her passion for bodybuilding in April, noting via Instagram that she wanted to demonstrate that survivors are more than just the trauma they endured. (The advocate was kidnapped in 2002 when she was 14 years old. She claimed she was physically, sexually and psychologically abused during her nine months of captivity.)

“I think it’s easy to be labeled as one thing, and honestly, that’s not me nor do I think it’s any of us. We are more than just one topic, one idea, one label,” Smart said. “I am interested in many things, and as I get older I realize more and more how important it is to make the most of today, we don’t know what tomorrow brings. I don’t want to reach the end of my life and look back and feel regret for only living a half-life, not going after all the things I want to do and try.”

Elizabeth Smart Recalls Feeling 'Liberated' During Bodybuilding Competition

At the time, Smart noted that entering the bodybuilding world “was a big change.”

“It was hard, it pushed me, challenged me not to give up. I am so proud of myself for doing this. I am so proud of my body, and I want to celebrate it,” she stated. “My body has carried me through every worst day, every hellish grueling experience, it’s created and nurtured three beautiful children, my body has risen to every single challenge life has presented it with, and carried me through so I refuse to be ashamed of it. I refuse to feel embarrassed about trying something new and am embracing my chance at life to the absolute fullest I can.”

Taking to her Instagram account on Thursday, September 3, the Dawson’s Creek alum, 47, revealed it had been six months since her successful brain surgery.

“YESTERDAY WAS 6 MONTHS SINCE MY BRAIN SURGERY REMOVED THAT TUMOR FROM MY BRAIN! 🧠 🎉🙌” she wrote alongside a carousel of images, including a selfie that showed her sticking her tongue out.

Another photo showed Philipps in what appeared to be a hospital gown as she took a mirror selfie. She further revealed in the caption, “Well guess what? my mammogram was all clear too! woo!”

Busy Philipps Diagnosed With Tumor Days After James Van der Beek’s Death

In an interview with People published on August 26, Philipps shared that she was “grateful” to be alive after her health diagnosis.

The actress explained that a Prenuvo full-body scan in February confirmed the presence of a grade 2 oligodendroglioma, a rare slow-growing tumor.

Philipps added that she almost skipped her appointment to undergo the scan as she didn’t have any obvious symptoms and the consultation was scheduled to take place just one day after her former Dawson’s Creek costar, James Van Der Beek, died from stage III colorectal cancer.

“‘Should I cancel it?’” Philipps recalled asking her ex-husband, Marc Silverstein, who responded, “Maybe it’s the best thing you could do for your friend this morning. Go get that scan.”

After the scan confirmed a tumor had been detected, Philipps underwent a procedure in March so doctors could remove a 2.6-centimeter mass from her brain.

James Van Der Beek's Widow Supports Busy Philipps After Brain Tumor News

Philipps’ procedure was successful, and she told the outlet that she “wasn’t in pain at all.” However, she faced a setback in April when she contracted staphylococcus on her incision and needed a follow-up surgery to debride and clear the wound.

In the People interview, Philipps shared the impact her cancer diagnosis had on her two daughters, Birdie, 17, and Cricket, 13, whom she shares with Silverstein, 55.

“[Birdie] was kind of beside herself and really, really scared and overwhelmed with emotion,” Philipps said. “I just kept saying to her, ‘Birdie, you’re just not in the movie where your mom dies your senior year of high school. That’s just not the movie that you’re in. I promise you.’”

The actress said Cricket processed the news in a calmer way than her eldest child.

‘OK. You’re going to be fine?’ And I was like, ‘I’m totally going to be fine,’” Philipps said. “And she’s like, ‘OK.’”

In a resurfaced 2022 TikTok, Langley’s followers were blown away to see the country superstar doing her own glam before a performance to open for musical duo Big & Rich. The chart-topping performer had yet to cut her signature bangs and rocked a cozy blue T-shirt.

“Can’t convince me this is Ella,” one stunned fan wrote while others raved over her natural beauty. A second added, “When in doubt add bangs!!!” A third commented, “Dam the glow up hit hard. Good for her.”

In the clip, the “Choosin’ Texas” singer gave her fans a makeup tutorial before hitting the road. “I haven’t done a makeup get ready with me, like what I do for shows, so that’s what I’m gonna do,” she told the camera.

Langley started off her makeup routine with foundation, which she blended in with her hands. Langley then contoured her face and added a touch of color back in with a blush, completing her makeup routine by filling in her brows and applying mascara.

Langley has been open about her look, sharing in a 2025 TikTok Live that she got Botox in her jaw to help treat a clicking temporomandibular joint (TMJ), per Tuko News.

She also shared the story behind her infamous bangs during an April episode of Theo Von‘s “This Past Weekend” podcast. “I have a bad tendency to cut my own hair. Most of the time it goes bad — that’s how I got bangs in the first place,” she recalled.

Langley continued, “I was wearing a cowboy hat for a while, and then I took it off because it was windy one show and it was pissing me off. I decided, ‘You know what, I’m gonna take it off.’ And I like how my bangs were kind of around my face.”

“Like 20 minutes before I walked out onstage, I decided to cut my fringe a little bit, and it was so bad,” she laughed. “I was shooting the cover art for my first record that next week and [my creative director Caylee Robillard] was like, ‘[I] hate you.’ So I just told her full send it with the bangs. I don’t think I can ever change it. It changed my life a little bit, I would say.”

Lawrence, 36, revealed all the cosmetic work she’s had done while chatting with Vogue in a new article published on Thursday, September 3. “I need to have movement in my face — I get baby Botox, but I can’t do a lot,” the actress shared. “If my skin is going to be a little saggier than I would like, at least it looks dewy and pretty.”

Something she’s interested in but hasn’t yet experimented with is fat transfers, which can help restore volume and smooth wrinkles. “I’m really nervous about these fat transfers,” Lawrence shared. “I support other people doing them because I want to continue to watch and see what happens, but I don’t know about that.”

“I mean, I would love to have a buccal fat removal,” the No Hard Feelings star added of the procedure that takes out fat pads from the cheeks to create a more sculpted face. “I can’t because everybody would know, but just know that I want that.”

Lawrence also opened up about other beauty treatments that she doesn’t necessarily enjoy getting done.

“I hate getting my hair colored,” she said. “I also hate going to the nail salon. I saw a tweet that was like, ‘It’s like going to the hand dentist.’ It’s not relaxing. It’s not fun. It’s really, really boring. It takes so long.”

Lawrence previously opened up about speculation that she’s had work done in 2023, telling Kylie Jenner during a conversation for Interview magazine that her makeup artist is as talented as a plastic surgeon.

“I also think it’s incredible what makeup can do because I work with Hung [Vanngo], who overlines the lip, and I call him a plastic surgeon, because everybody in the last few months since I’ve been working with him is convinced that I had eye surgery,” she quipped. “I’m like, ‘I didn’t have eye surgery. I’m doing makeup.’”

Lawrence went on to say that when social media users compare her looks through the years, they take a photo when she was only 19 years old and put it beside a current photo.

“I’m like, ‘I grew up. I lost baby weight in my face, and my face changed because I’m aging,’” she said. “Everybody thought I had a nose job, and I’m like, ‘I’ve had the exact same nose. My cheeks got smaller. Thank you for bringing it up.’”

Brown, 22, showed off just the right amount of skin while wearing a bejeweled thong bikini on vacation. In the pic, which she shared via Instagram on Wednesday, September 2, the Stranger Things alum looked chic in a plum-colored bikini with pink, yellow, blue and lavender jewels. Brown styled the swimsuit with a sheer black coverup featuring short sleeves with a ruffled hem, exposed seams and a drop-waist skirt. She further accessorized with round sunglasses and hoop earrings.

The Enola Holmes star wore her brunette hair down and parted down the middle. She looked over her shoulder and gave the camera a pout.

“Fresh out of August,” Brown captioned the post, also featuring photos of the actress wearing a silk plunging gown and loved-up snapshots with her husband, Jake Bongiovi. Her fans were quick to leave her loving messages in the comments section.

“OH YOU ARE SERVING,” one gushed. A second praised, “The face card is actually unreal. 😭❤️,” while a third added, “She’s so fine I can’t!😭✨.”

This isn’t the first time Brown has shown off her bikini body. In July, she rocked a brown “coastal cowgirl” look. Her set featured underwire cups with ruched detailing and thin straps. Brown styled the top with a white tiered skirt complete with pleats and a brow-and-black scarf tied around her waist. She gave her look even more of a cool girl aesthetic with a brown cowgirl hat, clear-rimmed sunglasses, hoop earrings and a delicate necklace.

At the time, she wore her hair, which was cut into a shoulder-length bob, down and styled in loose curls.

“Coastal cowgirl,” Brown captioned the post. “Get the look @clubavolta.”

The Florence by Mills founder also stunned in an animal-print bikini in June while enjoying a beach day. She sizzled in a red tiger-print swt complete with structured cups and high-cut bottoms.

Stokes, 33, revealed during the Tuesday, September 1, episode of “I’ve Never Said This Before” podcast that he considers speculation about whether he’s had plastic surgery to be the “most ridiculous assumption” about him online.

“I see these doctors who are like, ‘He’s got an upper [blepharoplasty]’ and, ‘He’s got his lips done.’ Like legitimate doctors,” Stokes explained, noting none of the online speculation is accurate.

The actor insisted, “On the record, I will say it, I’ve never had any work done on my face.”

Chase Stokes Pokes Fun at 'Outer Banks' EP Blaming Show Ending on His Age

Stokes said that it blows his mind how adamant actual physicians have been about what he’s allegedly had done — without knowing him at all.

“It’s so funny to me to see them go into the details of it all,” he shared. “I’m like, ‘Oh man, you should probably have your license revoked there.’”

Stokes ultimately laughed off the rumors, telling listeners that he tries not to get into the weeds and social media comments no matter how outlandish they may be.

“I used to be a little more online with that stuff, but I’ve realized to just shut up,” he said. “It’s so tough, but then you realize when you comment, you give them more exposure.”

While the Maryland native hasn’t done plastic surgery, he recently shared that following the end of Outer Banks, he realized his health had fallen to the wayside.

“I had so much s*** wrong,” Stokes told The Hollywood Reporter on August 21. “I left that show [and] my liver was failing, my kidney was failing. I had so many health issues that I had to figure out, and my brain was all out of whack.”

Chase Stokes Explains the Meaning Behind His 'Dear Me’ Tattoo

He recalled undergoing biweekly blood tests and participating in transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy to get “back to baseline” and recenter himself before taking on more work. (Stokes has not publicly disclosed a specific diagnosis.)

Now, Stokes is feeling better than ever, noting that he has shifted his fitness routine, marking the end of his John B. era once and for all.

“When I was doing Outer Banks, I was intermittent fasting almost until two o’clock every day,” he explained to Men’s Health on Wednesday, August 26. “Just so I could keep the weight off with [my character] John B., and I was drinking upwards of a gallon of water [at] that time to keep myself full.”

Once the show ended — the fifth and final season premiered last month on Netflix — Stokes switched it up and is now working on fueling his body.

“Now, I wake up at 7 a.m., fast until 10 or 11, and have a hearty breakfast,” he said. “Then, I go to the gym, and when I come back, I have a protein shake. Later, I have another oomph of protein.”

As he prepares to play pit crew member Ronnie Whitlock on AMC’s Thunder Road, Stokes has found himself training as if he’s a professional athlete and not focusing on staying lean and looking like he was 20 in his 30s.

“We get to start fresh, and we get to build something that is really cool and entirely different,” Stokes said of his new normal. “And you don’t have to worry about the aesthetics. You can just focus on the work and the art and making sure that you’re showing up well for the job.”

Samantha, 34, took to Instagram on Tuesday, August 31, to laugh about her “changing” body after she finished breastfeeding her third baby, Brooks, whom he welcomed in November 2025 with husband Dan Matthews. In the reel, she stepped into the camera frame while holding two slightly blown-up balloons in front of her chest.

“Before pregnancy,” she smiled while looking at Dan, who was cradling Brooks. She then stepped out and came back with slightly bigger balloons. “Pregnant,” she wrote.

Sam then laughed at the increase in her breast size “while breastfeeding” by holding two fully-blown balloons in front of her sweater. Finally, she came back with two deflated balloons.

“After breastfeeding (currently),” she wrote while frowning.

Dan then playfully pulled the balloons down to her waist, to which Sam laughed.

“Now that I’m done breastfeeding, we had to redo this but Dan did me dirty at the end 😳🙈🤣,” Sam captioned the post. “Oh the changes our bodies go through 🤣🤣.”

Sam and Dan are also the parents of son Canyon, 10, and daughter Ember, 8. In August, the couple shared that they are hoping to expand their family in the near-future.

“When the internet says your wife’s been pregnant too many times but here we are about to try for baby #4 (pregnancy #6),” they captioned a post of themselves dancing in their house. “Call us crazy, but we are excited 🤣🙈.”

Sam has been candid about being a surrogate for other families through the years.

“I had a strong desire to be pregnant again and birth another baby, but I knew I didn’t want more of my own. We live an adventurous lifestyle and we felt like 2 kids was manageable for us,” she wrote via her blog.

Sam discovered she was pregnant in summer of 2022, during her first surrogacy, and again in 2024.

The pro rugby player, 30, took to Instagram on Sunday, August 30, to show off her curves while rocking a tiny bikini. In the pic, she turned and looked back over her shoulder while wearing a white swimsuit adorned with black polka dots. Her top featured balconette cups with cherry red straps, which she matched with a micro skirt complete with a thong back.

Maher made her look even hotter by rocking cherry red lipstick. The Olympian wore her brunette hair down and styled in beachy waves.

“It’s all getting clearer now,” she captioned the photos, the first of which was blurry while the second was in focus. Her followers thirsted over the pics in the comments section.

“Yeah stopped in my track to look at this,” one wrote. Another quipped, “Warn us next time PLEASE😍,” while a third commented, “OKAYYYYY 🔥🔥🔥.”

This isn’t the first time Maher has blessed her fans with a sizzling bikini moment. In May, she strutted down the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit catwalk during Miami Swim Week in a gold suit. Her bikini was equipped with triangle cups and halter straps, as well as string bottoms.

For glam, she donned a full beat including dewy skin, manicured eyebrows, bronzed and blushed cheeks and pink lips. Her makeup was complete with bronze eyeshadow that made her green eyes pop and long lashes. She flipped her long brunette hair to the side and styled her mane in neat curls.

Maher then changed into another racy swimsuit to make a second appearance on the runway. She rocked a blue-and-white striped one-piece complete with straps that tied behind her neck, a daringly low-cut neckline that plunged to her belly button and thin straps that tied around her hips. She made her look even more glamorous with a statement fold necklace with an anchor pendant.

The Mary Poppins actor shared a part of his exercise regimen with his Instagram followers on Saturday, August 29, revealing that he uses an inversion table to stretch his full body. In the clip, Van Dyke can be seen laying upside down on the table before he adjusts his arms behind his head in a situp-style position.

“Keep moving,” he urged his followers.

Van Dyke celebrated his 100th birthday in December 2025 but has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down. The legendary actor even shared his approach to exercise in his 2025 book 100 Rules for Living to 100: An Optimist’s Guide to a Happy Life.

Explaining that he’s not a “wake up and go back to bed type,” Van Dyke noted that he can feel “stiffness creeping in here and there in my joints” if he misses too many days in the gym. However, the star admitted he sometimes has to “dangle” a reward for himself on days where he’s feeling “sluggish and reluctant.”

“[A] huge smoothie and/or frothy caffeine treat after my workout, full-body tingly exhilaration, sharper mind, sense of accomplishment to bask in for the rest of the day nap time [that is] well-earned, limber dancing in the days ahead,” he wrote.

Aside from his inversion table workout, Van Dyke mentioned that he frequently uses a “circuit” of exercise machines.

“Going from one machine to the next without a break, in a circle,” Van Dyke explained. “I start with sit-ups on the sit-up machine.”

He continued, “Then, it’s lower body — I do all the leg machines religiously and repeatedly because my legs are two of my most cherished [parts]. And then the upper body. The secret ingredient to my gym time is the music. For some reason, our gym is sparsely attended in the early mornings — bad for the owners, but better for me and [wife Arlene Silver]. She knows how to get into the sound system, so she always brings my kind of stuff, and she really blasts it.”

Van Duke and Silver always try to start off their exercise routines early in the morning — which allows them to tackle the day with plenty of energy.

“It’s the music that really gets me going. … By the end of my workout, I’m in a sweaty rush, the blood flowing fingertips to toes and my spirits are soaring,” he wrote.

The Diagnosis: Murder alum told fans at a Vandy High Tea event just before his 100th birthday that he’d made two major lifestyle changes that may have contributed to him reaching the milestone age.

“I got rid of booze and cigarettes and all that stuff, which is probably why I’m still here,” Van Dyke revealed last December. “I think I was probably in my 50s before it dawned on me.”

“He’s on Ozempic, he likes to talk about it, and he has gained, like, 15 pounds in four years,” Mann, 54, said on the Thursday, August 27, episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, speaking about her husband’s weight loss journey. “He’s on the highest dose.”

She continued, “He likes to outrun the feeling that you get that Ozempic gives you to stop eating. He likes to, like, override it or outrun it. He’s very proud of the fact that the pharmaceutical companies don’t have control over him. … It’s so weird.”

Ozempic and other similar semaglutides are commonly prescribed to adults who struggle with weight-related conditions, including diabetes, to slim down. Doctors have since warned individuals for using the medication for casual weight loss.

As for Apatow, the 58-year-old filmmaker began taking GLP-1 medications nearly two years ago.

“I am on so much Ozempic right now,” the Knocked Up director said during a 2024 stand-up show in New York City. “I’ve been on it for six months, I’ve gained four pounds. I don’t know how it’s supposed to work. It makes you nauseous, so you don’t want to eat, but I take it as a challenge to eat through the nausea.”

He added at the time, “You know, like, ‘I’m gonna f***ing prove this medicine doesn’t work.’ Sometimes I’ll eat ice cream and shoot myself with Ozempic at the same time just to see who wins the battle. It’s been a draw so far. That experiment cost me $40,000.”

Apatow has previously been candid about his experience trying to lose and maintain his weight.

“[Leslie] put me on the Goop detox diet,” he revealed on Live With Kelly and Ryan in 2017, referring to Gwyneth Paltrow’s lifestyle company. “She has a diet up there [on her website], and I did it, and then suddenly, I looked like Ryan [Seacrest] for a while. I got skinny and handsome. … I’m trying very hard to keep it together.”

At the time, Apatow noted how Mann was “cooking all this food” that he supplemented with a new exercise routine.

“I did a little SoulCycle Hamilton ride the other day, you know how it goes,” he quipped. “I’m trying to ‘cause I hate being healthy, I don’t like it, but I saw an article about ‘dad bods.’ It’s, like, when you work out a little bit and look a little crappy, and my friend sent me an article about it and I clicked the link and there was a picture showing what it was and the picture was of me. I took that as a sign.”

Apatow and the Spa Weekend actress have been married since 1997, during which they welcomed daughters Maude, 28, and Iris, 23.

Take Kylie Jenner, who turned up the heat in January while rocking a gold set featuring a triangle cup top and halter straps. She teamed the piece with coordinating low-waisted bottoms that tied in bows on her hips. Jenner’s glam was just as perfect as her suit, including pink lips, long lashes and rosy cheeks. Her brunette hair was styled in her go-to bouncy blowout.

Ashley Benson also showed off her toned bikini body while rocking a green set on March 28. She accessorized with stud earrings while going makeup-free.

Camila Cabello also proved to have stellar bikini taste while matching a black-and-white polka dot bikini with a bandana in March.

Alexandra Daddario showed off her sizzling curves in a baby blue bikini on August 26.

“Gorgeous 🖤,” one wrote, while a second added, “Legs!” Another fan commented, “Beautiful Croatia and you 🇭🇷❤️.”

“When I was doing Outer Banks, I was intermittent fasting almost until two o’clock every day,” Stokes, 33, told Men’s Health in an interview published on Wednesday, August 26. “Just so I could keep the weight off with [my character] John B., and I was drinking upwards of a gallon of water [at] that time to keep myself full.”

Stokes explained that after playing John B. on the Netflix series for five seasons, culminating in the series finale that premiered this month, he was ready for something new.

That change includes a shift in his fitness routine — and in a surprising twist, the ability to eat more while doing different gym workouts.

“Now, I wake up at 7 a.m., fast until 10 or 11, and have a hearty breakfast,” Stokes revealed, noting that he’s now preparing to play pit crew member Ronnie Whitlock on AMC’s Thunder Road. “Then, I go to the gym, and when I come back, I have a protein shake. Later, I have another oomph of protein.”

He joked that he’s no longer “starving himself to play a teenager,” telling the outlet, “It’s nice to be able to eat more.”

The actor, who was known for his slim but toned physique on Outer Banks, said that his gym routine is now reminiscent of a professional athlete.

“There was a lot of lighter weight, higher reps with John B. to sort of keep that lean look, and now, it’s a lot more of heavy compound lifts,” Stokes shared. “It’s almost sort of mirroring a version of what a wide receiver, or even a tight end, would do. A lot of cleans, squats, Bulgarian split squats, deadlifts.”

The Maryland native added, “I’m benching for the first time in a long time, trying to hit maxes. I’m really building out my frame versus with John B., I had to be kind of lanky and lean.”

Chase Stokes Explains the Meaning Behind His 'Dear Me’ Tattoo

Stokes noted that after growing up in the spotlight on Outer Banks — he was in his 20s when the show began and now is in his 30s — he’s happy to feel comfortable in his body.

“I’ve always kind of struggled with body dysmorphia,” he confessed. “The internet falls in love with the blonde-haired boy with the six-pack abs and then wonders why I don’t always look like that.”

Stokes revealed that he’s “gone through a lot of scrutiny and a lot of condescending stuff over the years about my body,” which “really messed” with his mental health.

Now that he’s left John B. in his rearview mirror, Stokes said that “constant comparison and contrast” to the character is finally “put to bed.”

“We get to start fresh, and we get to build something that is really cool and entirely different,” Stokes said of his next chapter. “And you don’t have to worry about the aesthetics. You can just focus on the work and the art and making sure that you’re showing up well for the job.”

The actor, however, is aware that with a fresh start and a new TV role, comes the risk that fans will see who he truly is outside of playing a Pogue.

“I just want the world to see me,” Stokes admitted. “That’s a scary, vulnerable thing to say.”

“Today’s office 🫧,” Lopez, 57, captioned a Thursday, August 27, Instagram post featuring the singer in her birthday suit relaxing in a tub. She wore her highlighted hair in a messy bun as she worked on her laptop posted on a bath tray alongside a number of products.

The singer’s many followers were quick to add playful messages in the comments section.

“I think I’ve been doing ‘office’ wrong all these years. 😂,” one laughed. Another joked, “Where do I apply for the assistant position? 😂🫧💻. “ A third follower commented, “Impeccable office view. Enjoy, Queen.”

This isn’t the first time Lopez has shown some skin on social media. Earlier this month, she showed off her lingerie while trying on outfits. At the time, she stunned in a white satin bra featuring balconette cups and thin straps. She styled the piece with low-rise underwear.
