<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/golden-bachelor/"><em>The Golden Bachelor</em></a>&rsquo;s <strong>Peg Munson</strong> hinted that <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/dancing-with-the-stars/"><em>Dancing With the Stars</em></a> viewers may see her competing in the ballroom in the near future.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I did do an interview with [producer and casting director] <strong>Deena Katz</strong> with <em>Dancing With the Stars</em>. I did interview with her a couple of months ago,&rdquo; Peg, 63, revealed on the Thursday, July 9, episode of the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8dEWhuttW3E" target="_blank" rel="noopener">&ldquo;She&rsquo;s All Bach&rdquo; podcast</a>. &ldquo;I believe they&rsquo;ve already cast for this season but we had an email and I just checked in with her, and I sent her a little clip of me dancing, and she was very, pleasantly surprised with the clip, and said she will definitely consider me for sure for next season.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>She added, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m an ex-dancer and that&rsquo;s really the only thing about this whole experience that I would really love to do. Because I dance for my soul. I dance with my heart. I think I would give all those young&rsquo;uns a run for their money, man. Go boomers!&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Us Weekly</em> has reached out to ABC for comment.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/golden-bachelors-peg-felt-chosen-by-mel-despite-cindys-exit-excl/" target="_blank">'Golden Bachelor' Winner Peg Felt Chosen by Mel Despite Cindy's Early Exit</a></p>
<p>Later in her podcast interview, Munson &mdash; who accepted a promise ring from <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/former-bachelor-and-bachelorette-leads-where-are-they-now/"><strong>Mel Owens</strong></a> in the <em>Golden Bachelor</em> season 2 finale &mdash; addressed the timeline of being approached for <em>DWTS</em>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think way back, right when we finished filming, they approached you. Then you had a conversation, then it went dormant for a little bit,&rdquo; Mel, 67, pointed out to his partner.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Right, something like that,&rdquo; Peg agreed. &ldquo;I would love to do that.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Peg reiterated that any talks about <em>Dancing With the Stars</em> would be for season 36 in 2027 &ldquo;unless somebody breaks a leg, or something, and they have a spot.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m open, you never knew,&rdquo; she teased.</p>

<p>Thus far, <em>Dancing With the Stars</em> has announced four celebrity contestants for season 35. The dancing competition has already lined up <em>Summer House</em>&rsquo;s <strong>Ciara Miller</strong> and <em>The Traitors</em> fan favorite <strong>Maura Higgins</strong> for the fall, as well as <em>Jimmy Kimmel Live!</em> sidekick <strong>Guillermo Rodriguez</strong> and Savannah Bananas player <strong>Jackson Olson</strong>.</p>
<p>The full <em>DWTS</em> season 35 cast and their professional partners will be unveiled on ABC&rsquo;s <em>Good Morning America</em> on September 2.</p>
<p>One celebrity that fans can probably count out of ever competing for the Mirrorball Trophy is <em>Full House</em> alum <strong>John Stamos</strong>, who has <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/why-john-stamos-will-never-do-dancing-with-the-stars/">repeatedly refused to take part</a> despite being courted by producers &ldquo;every single season.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;I said, &lsquo;Don&rsquo;t ever ask me again,&rsquo;&rdquo; Stamos, 62, told host <strong>Bobby Bones</strong> on the Tuesday, July 7, episode of &ldquo;The Bobbycast&rdquo; podcast. &ldquo;I&rsquo;m never gonna do that show.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/golden-bachelor-winner-peg-says-mel-owens-donated-his-salary/" target="_blank">'Golden Bachelor&rsquo; Winner Peg Says Mel Donated Entire Show Salary to Charity</a></p>
<p>He added, &#8203;&#8203;&ldquo;I just never &hellip; What makes that show good is people suffering and looking like fools. They&rsquo;re breaking their feet, calluses &hellip; I don&rsquo;t want that.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Dancing With the Stars</em> returns on ABC this fall.</p>

<p>One of 2026&rsquo;s best entertainment stories has been the unexpected critical and <a href="https://variety.com/2026/film/box-office/obsession-box-office-milestone-400-million-globally-1236801943/">commercial success of </a><em>Obsession.</em> The indie horror hit, about a shy twentysomething, Bear (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/teen-wolf-cast-where-are-they-now/"><em>Teen Wolf</em>&rsquo;s <strong>Michael Johnston</strong></a>), who wishes that the object of his unrequited affection, Nikki (<a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DX-zrC5ke7V/?hl=en"><strong>Inde Navarrette</strong></a>), only loves him and is completely devoted to his every need, smashed box office records in May and June, becoming the rare movie actually to increase its box office gross from week to week.</p>
<p>Now that it&rsquo;s wrapping up its historic box office run, the film&rsquo;s distributor, Focus Features, has finally set a streaming date and platform so you can stream the movie from the comfort of your own home.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/watch-with-us/">Watch With Us</a> has all the details about when and where to stream <em>Obsession</em>. While we know how it ends, we won&rsquo;t spoil it for you in this article. Promise!</p>

<h2>When Is &lsquo;Obsession&rsquo; Streaming?</h2>
<p><em>Obsession</em> will start streaming on <strong>July 17</strong>. That&rsquo;s only 63 days from when it first debuted in theaters nationwide on May 5.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/new-movies-and-shows-in-july-2026-on-netflix-prime-video-hbo-more/" target="_blank">New on Streaming in July 2026 &ndash; All the Movies and Shows on Netflix, Hulu and More</a></p>
<h2>Where Is &lsquo;Obsession&rsquo; Streaming?</h2>
<p>On July 17, <em>Obsession</em> will exclusively stream on <a href="https://www.peacocktv.com/">Peacock</a>. That makes sense, as the film was distributed by Focus Features, which is owned by Universal Studios, which is owned by Comcast, which also owns NBC and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/media-network/peacock/">Peacock</a>. Yay, corporate synergy!</p>
<h2>What Is &lsquo;Obsession&rsquo; About?</h2>
<p><iframe title="Obsession | Official Trailer" width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/gMC8kkwbIQQ?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>If you are one of the unlucky few who haven&rsquo;t seen <em>Obsession</em> or don&rsquo;t know what it&rsquo;s about, here&rsquo;s a brief synopsis:</p>
<p>Bear (Johnston) has a crush childhood friend and coworker, Nikki (Navarrette). Since he&rsquo;s too shy and, let&rsquo;s be honest, cowardly to actually ask her out on a date, he turns to the occult for help. He buys a &ldquo;One-Wish Willow&rdquo; trinket to help him win Nikki&rsquo;s love. (A One-Wish Willow is like a Monkey&rsquo;s Paw, but as a small tree branch you break to make your wish come true.) Bear gets his wish, but at a price &ndash; Nikki becomes fixated &ndash; one could say &hellip; <em>obsessed</em> &ndash; with Bear, and wants to spend every single minute with him. When Bear wants to spend time away with her, she becomes moody, hostile and eventually deadly. Be careful what you wish for, Bear, because you just might get it!</p>

<h2>Is &lsquo;Obsession&rsquo; Worth Watching?</h2>

<p>Hell, yes. There&rsquo;s a good reason the film made so much money &ndash; it sparked a nationwide discussion about toxic relationships and how idolizing our partners almost always has negative consequences. It&rsquo;s also just an incredibly well-made movie, with 26-year-old <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-features/curry-barker-obsession-interview-1236620580/">director <strong>Curry Barker</strong></a> deservedly getting his blood-splattered flowers for making a horror film that has both something to say and scares the hell out of anyone who watches it.</p>

That was a crazy experience,&rdquo; Rachel, 41, shared via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DamWSrJiuL-/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Instagram</span></a> on Thursday, July 9, after making a surprise appearance on the CBS reality show&rsquo;s season 28 premiere. &ldquo;Now, I can officially say that I have never been evicted from the <i>Big Brother</i> house for two seasons in a row.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p class="p1">During Thursday&rsquo;s premiere, host <strong>Julie Chen Moonves</strong> surprised the contestants by announcing <i>Survivor</i>&rsquo;s <strong><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/survivors-rick-devens-will-compete-on-big-brother-28/"><span class="s1">Rick Devens</span></a></strong> and<i> Big Brother</i> alum <strong>Angela Murray</strong> <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/big-brother-28-cast-revealed-meet-the-new-houseguests/"><span class="s1">would be joining the show.</span></a></p>
<p class="p1">In another twist, Rachel also entered the house to participate in a challenge. Ultimately, her visit was cut short when she was pushed by a velociraptor into a volcano to her fiery death. (A new reality TV legend is expected to take her spot in an upcoming episode.)</p>

<p class="p1">&ldquo;So, the volcano was extremely hot,&rdquo; Rachel said after the show. &ldquo;It was much better than the White Locust because that was horrible. But I will say, once you hit the volcano, you just evaporate. You&rsquo;re good. No big deal.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1">Rachel &mdash; who won season 13 in 2011 &mdash; is no stranger to the game. She first competed in season 12, where she met her husband, <strong>Brendon Villegas</strong>. The couple, who tied the knot in 2012, took their talents to <i>The Amazing Race</i> that same year.</p>
<p class="p1">The reality TV star also competed on season 27, but was sent to the jury house after failing to complete the White Locust challenge in time.</p>

<p class="p1">After Thursday&rsquo;s season premiere, Julie reflected on seeing a beloved cast member return to the show.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Rachel Reilly RIP. Only the good die young. But then again&hellip; knowing Rachel Reilly, she probably has made the lava her minions, faked her own death, had Brendon in the dinosaur suit, and is coming back for revenge on Angela for celebrating her demise,&rdquo; Julie, 56, joked to <a href="https://ew.com/big-brother-host-julie-chen-moonves-reacts-rachel-reilly-velociraptor-attack-exclusive-12015894" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1"><i>Entertainment Weekly</i></span></a> in an interview published Friday, July 10. &ldquo;Although one must always expect the unexpected in the BB World, in Rachel Reilly&rsquo;s world, you should always expect her to somehow get the last laugh!&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">With the season just getting started, Julie certainly can&rsquo;t predict who is going to make an unforgettable impression this summer. At the same time, she wouldn&rsquo;t be surprised if a few familiar faces make quite the splash.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I am wondering if Angela will be this season&rsquo;s version of who Rachel Reilly was last year: the Queen,&rdquo; Julie speculated. &ldquo;She was definitely received like a rock star surprising their fans. As for Rick/Devens, the only person I saw freaking out was Angela. She is clearly a fan. But the others didn&rsquo;t seem to know too much about who he is.&rdquo;</p>
<p class="p1"><i>Big Brother</i> airs on CBS Sundays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 8:00 p.m. ET. Stream episodes on Paramount+.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/taylor-frankie-paul/"><strong>Taylor Frankie Paul</strong></a> will reportedly return to film <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/secret-lives-of-mormon-wives/"><em>The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives</em></a> in a limited capacity amid her legal issues.</p>
<p>A source has confirmed to <em>Us Weekly</em> that Taylor, 32, will shoot her scenes for season 5&rsquo;s opening montage in the next few days but is not expected to film anything else for the time being. According to the insider, Taylor will film her montage scenes separately from the rest of the cast. (<em>People</em> and <em>TMZ</em> first to reported the news.)</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p><em>Us</em>&nbsp;has reached out to Hulu and Taylor&rsquo;s representative for comment.</p>
<p>Production on the fifth season of <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mormon-wives-season-5-on-pause-after-taylor-dakota-dispute/"><em>Mormon Wives</em> was suspended</a> in March when Taylor and her ex <strong>Dakota Mortensen</strong> were involved in a domestic violence investigation. Both publicly denied the allegations of domestic violence made by the other. (Taylor&rsquo;s season of <em>The Bachelorette</em> was pulled from ABC&rsquo;s schedule due to the criminal investigation.)</p>

<p>Prosecutors ultimately declined to file criminal charges against either party, though Dakota was awarded temporary custody of their son, Ever, 2. Taylor was later <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-frankie-paul-granted-supervised-visits-with-her-son-judge/">granted supervised visits</a> with Ever for eight hours per week.</p>
<p>A Utah judge issued mutual protective orders for both Dakota and Taylor in April, ordering them to stay 100 feet away from each other for three years.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, <em>Us</em> confirmed that Taylor voluntarily spent time in rehab for a short stay that has since concluded. Her ex-husband, <strong>Tate Paul</strong>, subsequently <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-frankie-paul-agrees-to-sobriety-test-in-tate-custody-case/">filed for an emergency change</a> in their custody agreement for daughter Indy, 8, and son Ocean, 6, claiming that he was not told Taylor was entering rehab. (Tate&rsquo;s request was denied.)</p>
<p>A court accepted Taylor&rsquo;s offer to take a sobriety test, specifying that she could resume unsupervised visits with her two older children provided she passes. In a separate hearing, a judge ruled on Wednesday, July 8, that <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/taylor-frankie-pauls-win-in-dakota-mortensen-custody-hearing/">Taylor can have more unsupervised time</a> with her and Dakota&rsquo;s son, Ever.</p>

<p>Amid the litany of legal issues, Taylor&rsquo;s <em>Mormon Wives</em> costars filmed a new video that appeared on <strong>Whitney Leavitt</strong>&rsquo;s Instagram account on Wednesday, where they joked about the fate of MomTok as filming wrapped on season 5.</p>
<p>In the clip, the cast danced over a message that read, &ldquo;We&rsquo;re surviving.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The video seemingly ruffled Taylor&rsquo;s feathers, as she later changed her Instagram bio to read: &ldquo;Creator of Momtok + <em>SLOMW</em>. <em>The Bachelorette</em>. Jesus is king.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;Got a whole team going at me during my lowest. Keep aiming I guess&hellip; your shots are terrible,&rdquo; Taylor also wrote via Instagram.</p>
<p>Taylor&rsquo;s friend and costar <strong>Jessi Draper</strong> &mdash; who appeared in Whitney&rsquo;s video &mdash; <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/mormon-wives-jessi-draper-claps-back-over-momtok-post/">clapped back at fans</a> speculating that MomTok was mocking Taylor&rsquo;s legal trouble.</p>

<p>&ldquo;I still support Taylor,&rdquo; Jessi said in an Instagram video on Wednesday. &ldquo;She knows that. I talk to her every single day. Still friends with her. Still love her. I also still have some friendships in MomTok and we also film a show together and work together and we have to be together and we have to make videos together, it&rsquo;s part of our job. But also, it&rsquo;s a good thing that the group is able to get along and make videos right now.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Meanwhile, <em>Mormon Wives</em> producer <strong>Jeff Jenkins</strong> expressed hopes in May that <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mormon-wives-producer-addresses-if-taylor-dakota-will-return/">Taylor would be back</a> filming new scenes for the show before long. (A source previously told <em>Us</em> Taylor wanted to return to the reality show &ldquo;at some point&rdquo; but was &ldquo;focused on her mental health.&rdquo;)</p>
<p>&ldquo;[Taylor is] just made for this,&rdquo; Jenkins, 58, told <em>Variety</em> in May. &ldquo;To share her life on camera, she does it like breathing air. She doesn&rsquo;t edit herself. She&rsquo;s really built for this type of lane. So I&rsquo;m very hopeful that she&rsquo;ll be back very soon, and I&rsquo;m hopeful we can do all sorts of other projects with her as well.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Are you in the mood for dinosaurs, star-crossed cannibal lovers and career-obsessed writers? Then you&rsquo;re reading the right article.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/robert-pattinson-breaks-silence-on-dune-part-three-villain-role/"><em>Dune: Part 3</em></a> is set to dominate the box office this holiday season, but lead star <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/timothee-chalamet/"><strong>Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet</strong></a> was already wowing audiences four years ago in the odd love story, <em>Bones and All</em>.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/watch-with-us/">Watch With Us</a> are huge <strong>Adam Driver</strong> fans, and we especially enjoyed him in a rare sci-fi hero role in the prehistoric dinosaur flick, <em>65</em>.</p>
<p>Last but not least, watch <strong>Philip Seymour Hoffman</strong> play the titular author in <em>Capote</em>, and you&rsquo;ll realize why the actor is still fondly remembered and respected 12 years after he passed away.</p>
<h2>&lsquo;Bones and All&rsquo; (2022)</h2>

<p>Teenager Maren (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/stylish/pictures/taylor-russells-red-carpet-fashion-evolution-photos/"><strong>Taylor Russell</strong></a>) is hungry to experience more than what her sheltered life has so far offered her. She&rsquo;s also hungry for human flesh, which is probably why her father hid her away from society. Now that he&rsquo;s dead, she&rsquo;s free to roam the country and eventually meets people like her. While repelled by the older cannibal Sully (<strong>Mark Rylance</strong>), she&rsquo;s drawn to Lee (Chalamet), a bleached-blond bad boy who accepts her for who she is &ndash; even if it involves killing and eating people.</p>

<p>Did I mention<em> Bones and All</em> is an oddly sweet love story? You wouldn&rsquo;t know from the plot description, or in the scenes where Maren and Lee give in to their flesh-eating impulses. But what&rsquo;s most surprising about the <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/challengers-everything-to-know-about-zendayas-tennis-movie/"><strong>Luca Guadagnino </strong>(<em>Challengers</em>)</a> film is how matter-of-fact it is. What could&rsquo;ve been a horror film turns into a strange coming-of-age story about two loners who live on the margins of society. Chalamet is now a big box office star, but he shows the same magnetic talent and charisma that won over the millions of people who watched the more family-friendly <em>Wonka</em>.</p>

<p>&ldquo;65&rdquo; stands for 65 million years ago, when a space pilot, Mills (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/adam-driver/"><strong>Adam Driver</strong></a>), loses control of his ship and crashes on an alien planet that will eventually be named Earth. Mills isn&rsquo;t alone, though &ndash; the only other survivor is a young girl, Koa (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/barbies-ariana-greenblatt-on-her-friendship-with-billie-eilish/"><strong>Ariana Greenblatt</strong></a>), who communicates in a strange language Mills doesn&rsquo;t quite understand. But that&rsquo;s a small problem compared to a bigger one they both face &ndash; they&rsquo;re stuck on a foreign planet with almost no supplies and no clear way back home. Even worse, this planet has its own native species lurking about &ndash; dinosaurs!</p>
<p><em>65</em> is a strange cross between <em>Alien </em>and <em>Jurassic Park</em>, only with a lesser budget and a small cast. The result is a B-level movie that&rsquo;s surprisingly effective. You really do feel like Mills is stuck in the prehistoric past, which is filled with danger pretty much anywhere he goes. As a proto-Joel from T<em>he Last of Us</em>, Driver excels as a surrogate father to Greenblatt&rsquo;s mostly silent Koa, who is more resourceful than she looks.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.aetv.com/articles/the-clutter-family-murders-the-story-behind-in-cold-blood">In 1959, the Clutter family was brutally murdered</a> by Perry Smith (<strong>Clifton Collins Jr.</strong>) and Dick Hickock (<strong>Mark Pellegrino</strong>). The case rocked the nation and, in particular, author Truman Capote (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/philip-seymour-hoffman/"><strong>Philip Seymour Hoffman</strong></a>). In search of his next book, he decides to document the crime and upcoming trial in detail by traveling to Kansas himself. But as he grows closer to them, particularly Smith, he realizes he&rsquo;s committed the ultimate sin of a journalist &ndash; he becomes too involved in the story he&rsquo;s reporting on. As the trial drags on with no end in sight, can Capote find a way to finish his book without a concrete conclusion?</p>

<p><em>Capote</em> is best remembered today as the film that won Hoffman his well-deserved Best Actor Oscar. But it&rsquo;s more than an award-winning vehicle for an actor &ndash; it&rsquo;s also an illuminating portrait of a writer paralyzed by his own empathy toward his subject and ambition for his career. He genuinely likes the killer he&rsquo;s befriended, but he also needs him to die so he can have an ending for his book. And Capote knows that the book will cement his status as an American literary legend and the work he will be best remembered for. Hoffman is excellent, but Collins Jr., as a murderer who turns out to be less of a monster and something else altogether more complicated, is equally worthy of attention, both then and now.</p>

<p class="p1">Just call former Canadian Prime Minister <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/justin-trudeau/"><b>Justin Trudeau </b></a>an exemplary Instagram boyfriend after he enthusiastically joined pop star girlfriend <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/katy-perry/"><b>Katy Perry</b></a>&rsquo;s latest social media trend.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;Ancient texts say that if you hop to this song you will get 1,000 years of good luck,&rdquo; Perry, 41, wrote via <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Dalb4zBPhzC/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">Instagram</span></a> on Thursday, July 9, alongside footage of her touring crew dancing to &ldquo;Watch It Burn&rdquo; in Aix-les-Bains, France.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p class="p1">In the clip, Perry and a slew of crew members enthusiastically jumped around in front of a fleet of trucks. Trudeau, 54, made a blink-and-you&rsquo;ll-miss-it cameo, hopping across the frame until he was no longer visible to the camera.</p>
<p class="p1">Perry did the same <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DaitsM1Tj6n/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><span class="s1">trend</span></a> earlier this week from Stuttgart, Germany, though Trudeau did not appear to participate in that video.</p>

<p class="p1">Perry<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/katy-perry-torches-her-past-in-new-song-watch-it-burn/"><span class="s1"> released &ldquo;Watch It Burn&rdquo;</span></a> last month, detailing the end of her relationship with ex-fianc&eacute; <b>Orlando Bloom</b>. <i>Us </i>broke the news in 2025 that Perry and Bloom, 49, had called off their six-year engagement. Perry, who shares 5-year-old daughter Daisy with Bloom, began dating Trudeau several months later. (The former politician separated from wife <b>Sophie Gr&eacute;goire Trudeau</b>, with whom he coparents three kids, in 2023 after more than 20 years of marriage.)</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I have love in my life now. That&rsquo;s transformed me,&rdquo; Perry <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/katy-perry-says-she-transformed-with-justin-trudeau-love/"><span class="s1">gushed of their relationship</span></a> on <b>Justin Tranter</b>&rsquo;s &ldquo;Unfamous&rdquo; podcast in June. &ldquo;You think when The Beatles say, &lsquo;All you need is love,&rsquo; it&rsquo;s a clich&eacute;? Clich&eacute;s are clich&eacute;s for a reason &hellip; it&rsquo;s like you don&rsquo;t know until you have your baby how beautiful that experience is and how it transforms you.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">According to Perry, the last year had been &ldquo;pretty tough&rdquo; amid her breakup from Bloom.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;It would have been easy for me to fall into that weird victim triangle,&rdquo; she acknowledged. &ldquo;So, instead of falling into &lsquo;woe is me,&rsquo; I was just like, &lsquo;Let&rsquo;s just feel this f***ing pain, let&rsquo;s feel this anger and let&rsquo;s move on.

<p class="p1">&ldquo;When they&rsquo;re not working, they&rsquo;re figuring out time to be with each other and factor their modern family into the equation,&rdquo; the source added at the time. &ldquo;Their kids are all off school, [so it is] easier to spend time together.

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/scott-foley/"><strong>Scott Foley</strong></a> broke his silence about his newest show getting canceled &mdash; months after he was killed off <em>Will Trent</em>.</p>
<p>Foley, 53, took to Instagram on Thursday, July 9, to address Prime Video <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/its-not-like-thats-scott-foley-calls-playing-hot-pastor-on-faith-show-scary/">not renewing his faith-focused series, <em>It&rsquo;s Not Like That</em>,</a> for a second season.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>&ldquo;After six or so weeks in Prime Video&rsquo;s Top 10, I think getting as high as, like, three or four, really great reviews &mdash; I think we have like 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes &mdash; our little show called It&rsquo;s Not Like That has been canceled at Amazon Prime,&rdquo; he began in the video, admitting <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/summer-tv-preview-2026-legally-blondes-elle-dwts-spinoff/">he was &ldquo;disappointed&rdquo; by the news.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;But I&rsquo;m so grateful for the chance. I get to make &mdash; I got to make a show I&rsquo;m so proud of with people I grew to like a lot, and now we don&rsquo;t get to make it anymore, and you don&rsquo;t get to watch it,&rdquo; he continued. &ldquo;If you watched it, thank you. I appreciate it. If you didn&rsquo;t, it&rsquo;s still on Amazon Prime.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Foley added: &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not going to change the cancellation, but I wanted to thank everybody who took the time to check it out. Whether it was you found it on your own, whether it was a recommendation you saw on social media, it&rsquo;s appreciated. So thank you.&rdquo;</p>

<p>The video concluded with Foley<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/its-not-like-thats-erinn-hayes-clarifies-faith-based-show-isnt-pushing-religion/"> issuing a message to his costars.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;To the entire cast and crew of It&rsquo;s Not Like That, I loved making the show with you, and I would work with you again and again and again,&rdquo; he said.</p>

<p>Foley <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/will-trents-scott-foley-breaks-silence-on-controversial-death/">has had a storied TV career with roles</a> on <em>Dawson&rsquo;s Creek, Grey&rsquo;s Anatomy</em> and <em>Scandal</em>, among other hit series. Earlier this year, ABC&rsquo;s <em>Will Trent</em> killed off his character Seth in a shocking season finale twist.</p>
<p>The May episode showed Angie (<strong>Erika Christensen</strong>) finally giving birth, but her happiness was short-lived as Seth, her husband, died after collapsing in the hospital.</p>
<p>&ldquo;What a wonderful gift to receive after a wonderful experience on #willtrent,&rdquo; Foley wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of his name in the show&rsquo;s title card. &ldquo;Thanks to the cast and crew, the writers and creators who made the experience so special.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He added: &ldquo;This will surely make my wife and daughter say &lsquo;Awww&rsquo; each time they pass by and really, that&rsquo;s enough for me.&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/justin-baldoni/"><strong>Justin Baldoni</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/gina-rodriguez/"><strong>Gina Rodriguez</strong></a> evolved from onscreen love interests to best friends.</p>
<p>The duo met on the set of<em> Jane the Virgin</em>, which premiered on The CW in 2014. Based on a Venezuelan telenovela, <em>Jane the Virgin</em><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/jane-the-virgin-cast-where-are-they-now/"> starred Rodriguez as devout</a> virgin Jane who became pregnant after an accidental artificial insemination by her gynecologist while Baldoni played Rafael a.k.a the father of her baby.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>Before Jane the Virgin came to an end five seasons later, Baldoni <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/the-cws-most-underrated-shows-that-deserved-more-recognition/">reflected on the impact</a> the show had on his life.</p>
<p>&ldquo;What a magical experience @cwjanethevirgin was. Even from the audition there was something so special / magical about it,&rdquo; he wrote via Instagram in 2019. &ldquo;Its a longer story for another time but we set our intention from the beginning (actually before the official beginning) to be of service with our work. Love @hereisgina &mdash; so proud of all the bad ass magic she is creating right now.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Baldoni <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/celebrities-who-found-best-friends-in-their-costars-photos/">went on to praise Rodriguez</a> as a scene partner, adding in a separate post, &ldquo;So proud of my soul sister @hereisgina. I&rsquo;ve been watching her create magic for the last five years, I&rsquo;ve seen how hard she works both on screen and off to create change and make a difference.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He continued: &ldquo;The business deals in between scenes, the love and respect for the crew and family, the 14 hour days and press on the weekends, the fight for representation and care to always look to cast and hire the marginalized and under-represented. She is so full of love and talent and I am so damn proud to call her a friend.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Rodriguez <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/inside-gina-rodriguezs-close-friendship-with-justin-baldoni-brett-dier/">was just as proud of Baldoni</a> amid his success as a director and producer. &ldquo;Justin is also one of my closest friends and we talk all the time,&rdquo; she exclusively told <em>Us Weekly</em> in August 2024.</p>

Baldoni, meanwhile, gushed over Rodriguez as Jane the Virgin received critical acclaim.
"Over the last year, I've watched as my friend went from being an unknown actress with all the talent and potential in the world, to winning a Golden Globe and being nominated for every other possible award ... all while becoming a household name and a role model to millions and millions of people," he captioned a post. "This woman inspires everyone she meets, and is doing so much good with her celebrity and is giving a voice to a massive group of people who've been waiting for someone like her for decades. ... If you met Gina and spend a few minutes with her &mdash; you would understand not only how deserving she is, but how needed she is in this business."
Baldoni continued: "@hereisgina You, my dear, are loved. You are beautiful. And you are extraordinary. You set an example for us all to strive to be a better version of ourselves."

Who is in almost every scene, and usually ends up working 14 hour days every day," Baldoni wrote via Instagram alongside a photo of him and Rodriguez. "She is a warrior and never shows how tired her body probably really is. Who even on minimal sleep, somehow always knows her lines and always delivers insane, emotional and brilliant performances that make America laugh &amp; weep every week. But perhaps most importantly, is someone who treats everyone she meets with love and respect no matter how overworked, tired, or stressed she might be."
Baldoni referred to his costar as "nothing short of a superhero."
"I can write this because I've seen it firsthand, over and over again," he gushed. "Grateful for you today G. Thanks for inspiring all of us. And since you dedicate one day a week to lifting up and recognizing others in this business who are doing great things&hellip; I think it's only fair that you let us do the same thing for you. #icaniwill #janethevirgin #loveyouTVbabymamma #warrior."

													<strong>2024</strong><br>
													Rodriguez called Baldoni her "my brother forever" when she told People in August 2024 he was "hands down the person" she stayed in touch with "the most" from Jane the Virgin.&nbsp;
Baldoni reacted in a separate interview with the outlet. "You know what? That came at a very special time for me and that meant a lot," he noted in October 2024. "She really showed up for me. That was really sweet. That was really sweet. She's a sweetheart. She's family forever."
He continued: "I'd love to work with her. She's so talented. I hope it's a movie that she directs. She's a fantastic director, so I would love to act in something that she directs. People don't realize how gifted she really is also behind the scenes. She's a real filmmaker."&nbsp;
Two months later, Baldoni's costar Blake Lively filed a sexual harassment lawsuit against him. Lively claimed Baldoni created a &ldquo;hostile work environment&rdquo; on set that caused her &ldquo;severe emotional distress.&rdquo; The lawsuit also alleged that Baldoni &ldquo;ignored well-established industry protocols in filming intimate scenes, and exploited the lack of controls on set to behave inappropriately.&rdquo;
Baldoni denied the allegations against him in a statement to Us from his lawyer Bryan Freedman. The attorney referred to Lively&rsquo;s claims as &ldquo;completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,&rdquo; while alleging she filed the lawsuit to &ldquo;fix her negative reputation&rdquo; and &ldquo;rehash a narrative&rdquo; about the film&rsquo;s production.&nbsp;
One month later, Baldoni's studio filed a lawsuit against Lively her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and Lively's publicist, Leslie Sloane, seeking $400 million in damages. The lawsuit included accusations of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and other claims.

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/which-off-campus-stars-auditioned-for-different-book-roles/">Based on <strong>Elle Kennedy</strong>&lsquo;s book series</a>, <em>Off Campus</em> follows an elite ice hockey team &mdash; and the women in their lives &mdash; as they &ldquo;grapple with love, heartbreak, and self-discovery &mdash; forging deep friendships and enduring bonds while navigating the complexities that come with transitioning into adulthood,&rdquo; per the show&rsquo;s official synopsis.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>Season 1, which premiered in May 2026, was centered on <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/off-campus-ella-bright-belmont-cameli-tease-season-2-return/">Hannah (<strong>Ella Bright</strong>) and Garrett&rsquo;s (<strong>Belmont Cameli</strong>)</a> love story.</p>
<p>Going by Kennedy&rsquo;s book order, Logan&rsquo;s (<strong>Antonio Cipriano</strong>) story was expected to be next, followed by Dean&rsquo;s (<strong>Stephen Kalyn</strong>) and Tucker&rsquo;s (<strong>Jalen Thomas Brooks</strong>). News broke, however, that Dean and Allie (<strong>Mika Abdalla</strong>) would be leading season 2 in a surprising shakeup.</p>

<p>The changes didn&rsquo;t stop there. Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the show&rsquo;s biggest BTS shakeups:</p>
<h2>Cast Exits</h2>
<p>After <strong>Josh Heuston</strong> <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/off-campus-creator-defends-show-cast-after-age-criticism/">had a scene-stealing role</a> as Justin in season 1, news broke that he wouldn&rsquo;t return &mdash; for now.</p>
<p>&ldquo;[He is] not [in] next season, but I love Josh and I would not write him off if I can find a way to bring Justin back at some point,&rdquo; creator Louisa Levy told TV Guide at the time. &ldquo;We never got a chance to meet Stella, who is the person he ends up with in the book. So maybe we&rsquo;ll find a way to fold him into a future season.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Levy noted that it wasn&rsquo;t always the plan for Justin to be absent. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t have him [available] next season, but never say never,&rdquo; she added.</p>
<h2>Story Line Shakeups</h2>
<p>With Justin gone, Levy hinted that season 2 <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/off-campus-author-addresses-surprise-books-changes-in-season-1/">is going to look a little different.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s going to be less live songs. Because we don&rsquo;t have all of Hannah&rsquo;s songwriting journey to play into,&rdquo; she said during Obsessed Fest in June 2026. &ldquo;We don&rsquo;t have Josh and After Hours this season so we don&rsquo;t have those bands. But we still have a lot of music in other ways. We will still have some light music in the show.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Levy concluded: &ldquo;I still think the heart of the show lives in those needle drops and those songs that underscore a moment &mdash; as well as the actual score.&rdquo;</p>

<h2>Book Shifts</h2>
<p>Abdalla previously<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/off-campus-cast-defends-big-controversial-book-changes/"> teased how season 2</a> will differ from Kennedy&rsquo;s <em>The Score.</em></p>
<p>&ldquo;[It&rsquo;s the] same as season 1 [where] season 1 didn&rsquo;t exactly follow the books,&rdquo; Abdalla shared on a June 2026 episode of the &ldquo;Hey Jonas!&rdquo; podcast. &ldquo;There&rsquo;s some new fun stuff and some fun new little things that we&rsquo;re adding in.&rdquo;</p>
<h2>Lead Changes</h2>
<p>With Dean taking over instead of Logan, all bets are off when it comes to future orders &mdash; and even possible character changes as new cast members are brought on.</p>

<p>There are &ldquo;still some unknowns&rdquo; about <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/summer-house/"><em>Summer House</em></a> season 11, according to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/kyle-cooke/"><strong>Kyle Cooke</strong></a>.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t picked up cameras, despite being in the Hamptons last weekend,&rdquo; Kyle, 43, confirmed in an interview with<a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-features/summer-house-lindsay-kyle-carl-2026-emmy-nominations-1236641824/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em> The Hollywood Reporter</em></a> published on Wednesday, July 8. &ldquo;I said it in a post, and I kind of said it accidentally and it set off a bit of an avalanche; I said it was the end of an era.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>He added, &ldquo;I think for people that use that term, I think they probably would&rsquo;ve preferred I say &lsquo;chapter.&rsquo; But to me it feels like the end of 10 chapters. I call it an era, but I think what&rsquo;s exciting is that season 11 has the potential to have a completely different look and feel.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Summer House</em> reached an all-time high during its milestone 10th season, which wrapped up last month, when Kyle&rsquo;s estranged wife <strong>Amanda Batula</strong> and costar <strong>West Wilson</strong> <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/summer-houses-amanda-batula-west-wilson-confirm-romance/">announced that they were dating</a>. The romance news came months after Kyle and Amanda, 34, announced their plans to separate after four years of marriage.</p>

<p>Fans were outraged at the budding romance, especially since West, 31, previously dated Amanda&rsquo;s best friend <strong>Ciara Miller</strong>. The season 10 reunion focused mainly on <em>Summer House</em> cast members attempting to get to the bottom of <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/amanda-batula-and-west-wilsons-alleged-romance-timeline/">Amanda and West&rsquo;s timeline</a>. <em>Us Weekly</em> has confirmed that both <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/who-is-and-isnt-returning-to-summer-house-season-11/">Amanda and West will not be returning</a> for <em>Summer House</em> season 11.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I feel like a lot of shows that reach a pinnacle, sometimes it&rsquo;s a little unclear where to go from there,&rdquo; Kyle continued on Wednesday. &ldquo;The beauty of <em>Summer House</em> is, you [can] throw whatever cast is on season 11 into a house in the Hamptons, and you kind of let it do its thing.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He continued, &ldquo;I think [<em>Summer House</em> is] going to have, like I said, the potential for a whole new chapter, a whole new look and feel and can avoid getting stuck in certain storylines.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/bravo-exec-addresses-summer-house-season-11-casting-rumors/" target="_blank">Bravo Exec Addresses 'Summer House' Season 11 Casting Rumors After Drama</a></p>
<p>Fans were convinced that Kyle announced his<em> Summer House</em> departure last month <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/kyle-cooke-sparks-summer-house-exit-rumors-with-cryptic-post/">with a cryptic Instagram post.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;End of an era,&rdquo; he captioned the original post. &ldquo;I can&rsquo;t tell how hard it was to muster up a smile in this photo with my producers. Per usual I was the last to leave the house when we wrapped because I lug so much gear out. But this year was different. 10 seasons in the books. A new show [<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/in-the-city/"><em>In the City</em></a>] on the way. And a heartbreaking way to end one helluva run.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Kyle wrote that he was &ldquo;tearing up&rdquo; when writing the caption, telling followers that &ldquo;we can finally close this chapter.&rdquo; The Bravo star later edited his caption, clarifying that the post wasn&rsquo;t an announcement about his departure.</p>
<p>&ldquo;End of Season 10 and a decade of filming this show as I know it,&rdquo; he clarified. &ldquo;The show isn&rsquo;t cancelled and this is not me announcing I won&rsquo;t return. I was feeling emo and always planned sharing the cover photo because it DID feel like the end of an era, which is why everyone else was so emotional saying their goodbyes on the finale. Sorry everyone!&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/media-network/netflix/">Netflix</a> wants to make you cry this weekend.</p>

<p>Not in the mind to cry? Don&rsquo;t worry, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/watch-with-us/">Watch With Us</a> has you covered. Stream <em>80 for Brad</em>y, a 2023 comedy starring <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/sally-field/"><strong>Sally Field</strong></a> and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/jane-fonda/"><strong>Jane Fonda</strong></a> as saucy octogenarians with a thing for a certain New England patriots quarterback, and the only tears you&rsquo;ll shed are from laughter.</p>
<p>We also recommend streaming <em>She Said</em>, a disquieting thriller about the real-life investigation into <strong>Harvey Weinstein</strong>&rsquo;s sexual assault allegations by two courageous <em>New York Times</em> reporters.</p>
<h2>&lsquo;Hamnet&rsquo; (2025)</h2>

<p>In 1590s England, William Shakespeare (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/paul-mescal/"><strong>Paul Mescal</strong></a>) is just another author who is struggling to write his next play. When his young son, Hamnet (<strong>Jacobi Jupe</strong>), dies from the bubonic plague, he&rsquo;s heartbroken &ndash; but his wife, Agnes (<strong>Jessie Buckley</strong>), is inconsolable. As Will keeps himself busy by writing and staging his new play, Hamlet, in London, Agnes is left to deal with her loss at their secluded home in the country. With their family broken by tragedy, can Will and Agnes find a way to grapple with Hamnet&rsquo;s death and move forward?</p>

<p>Earlier this year, <em>Hamnet</em> was nominated for an impressive eight Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Actress, which <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/jessie-buckley-wins-best-actress-at-2026-oscars/">Buckley deservedly won</a>. You can understand why, as it&rsquo;s a devastating drama about how a family processes and recovers from the loss of a child. For Will, his art is a way to express his grief and frustration. Agnes doesn&rsquo;t have that luxury, so she finds solace in her memories. The last scene, which involves Buckley&rsquo;s mother finally saying goodbye to Hamnet, both in her heart and in her mind, will move you to tears.</p>
<h2>&lsquo;80 for Brady&rsquo; (2023)</h2>

<p>A lot of people love football legend <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/tom-brady/"><strong>Tom Brady</strong></a>, but none more than Lou (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/lily-tomlin/"><strong>Lily Tomlin</strong></a>), Betty (Field), Trish (Fonda) and Maura (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/rita-moreno/"><strong>Rita Moreno</strong></a>). They&rsquo;re all 80 or above, but they&rsquo;re young at heart, so when they win a contest to attend the Super Bowl featuring their favorite player, they set out on an adventure of their lifetimes. That&rsquo;s what they get and more, as the quartet gets into all sorts of trouble, including getting high after consuming some edibles, meeting <strong>Guy Fieri</strong> during a chicken wing-eating contest and masquerading as <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/lady-gaga/"><strong>Lady Gaga</strong></a>&rsquo;s backup dancers. (Don&rsquo;t ask.)</p>
<p><em>80 for Brady</em> is sweet and silly, exactly what you&rsquo;d expect from a movie called <em>80 for Brady</em> and starring Lily Tomlin. It&rsquo;s a cross-generational comedy that doesn&rsquo;t take itself too seriously, even when it tackles subjects like cancer and even death. (These ladies aren&rsquo;t spring chickens.) What makes the movie so watchable is the four leading ladies, who all bring their unique personas to their roles. And yes, Brady does make an appearance, and he shows good humor at poking fun at his football hero image.</p>
<h2>&lsquo;She Said&rsquo; (2022)</h2>
<figure id="attachment_4042515" style="width: 900px;" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-4042515" src="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=900" alt="Zoe Kazan in She Said" width="900" height="701" srcset="https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?quality=86&amp;strip=all 1387w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=900&amp;h=701&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 900w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=150&amp;h=117&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 150w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=300&amp;h=234&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 300w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=768&amp;h=598&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 768w, https://www.usmagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/she-said.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=797&amp;quality=86&amp;strip=all 1024w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 680px) calc(100vw - 60px), 660px"><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span class="caption">Zoe Kazan in She Said</span> <span class="credit">Universal</span></figcaption></figure>
<p>When <em>New York Time</em>s reporter Jodi Kantor (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/zoe-kazans-theory-on-blake-lively-and-taylor-swift-wedding/"><strong>Zoe Kazan</strong></a>) receives a tip about an explosive story about sexual allegations concerning movie producer Harvey Weinstein, she recruits fellow reporter Megan Twohey (<strong>Carey Mulligan</strong>) to help gather enough evidence to publish an expos&eacute;. That&rsquo;s easier said than done, as getting anyone, from scared former assistants to established celebrities like <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/gwyneth-paltrow/"><strong>Gwyneth Paltrow</strong></a> and <strong>Ashley Judd</strong>, to go on record proves to be nearly impossible. Kantor and Twohey have a hard deadline to publish their story, so they&rsquo;ll need someone to risk their reputation and publicly condemn Weinstein, or else the story will die without anyone knowing the shocking truth.</p>

<p>The &lsquo;70s had their journalistic expos&eacute; with <em>All the President&rsquo;s Men</em>, so it&rsquo;s only fitting that the #MeToo era gets one in <em>She Said</em>. While not nearly as compelling as that <strong>Dustin Hoffman</strong>/<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/robert-redford/"><strong>Robert Redford</strong></a> classic, the film methodically recreates the slow and often frustrating work Kantor and Twohey put in to write and publish a story that effectively changed culture. She Said avoids sensationalizing its subject matter, and the result is a slow-moving film that&rsquo;s also quietly thrilling.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/mary-fitzgerald/"><strong>Mary Bonnet</strong></a> revealed she isn&rsquo;t &ldquo;allowed&rdquo; to be near the Oppenheim Group &mdash; or other places with the cast &mdash; after her<em> Selling Sunset </em>exit.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I felt like I was in a different alternate universe because that was my life. Now even for Rose Day &mdash; that <strong>Jason [Oppenheim]</strong> and I go to every year together &mdash; had the tickets and I wasn&rsquo;t allowed to go,&rdquo; Mary, 45, exclusively told <em>Us Weekly</em> while <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/pictures/stars-whove-adopted-or-fostered-pups-amid-coronavirus-quarantine/">discussing her current work with animal advocacy.</a></p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p>The reality star recalled <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/selling-sunsets-mary-bonnet-reveals-how-show-hurt-her-career/">being told the news.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;They said, &lsquo;No, Mary can&rsquo;t come because they were going to film part of it.&rsquo; They don&rsquo;t want anybody from the [past] cast overpower or overshadow the new cast,&rdquo; Mary claimed. &ldquo;They don&rsquo;t want people taking the attention away from their story lines.&rdquo;</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/selling-sunset-cast-then-vs-now-photos-how-they-looked-before-show/" target="_blank">&lsquo;Selling Sunset&rsquo; Stars Then vs Now: What They Looked Like Before the Show</a></p>
<p>She continued: &ldquo;I was like, &lsquo;You&rsquo;re keeping me from my friends? You can&rsquo;t keep me away from there.&rsquo; They sure did. So that part I was very frustrated about and I&rsquo;m sad about that. I have to be separated from my friends.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Mary also had to avoid the office <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mary-bonnet-slams-rumors-she-was-fired-after-selling-sunset-exit/">due to production taking place.</a></p>

<p>&ldquo;It&rsquo;s just very strange to not know what&rsquo;s going on and not be allowed to go to the office to work because they&rsquo;re filming. &hellip; They will not allow us in the office,&rdquo; she noted. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s my office and it is bizarre, but it&rsquo;s OK because I need to work from home anyway.&rdquo;</p>
<p>While adapting to the new normal, Mary went through &ldquo;a bit of a grieving process,&rdquo; adding, &ldquo;I&rsquo;ll watch [season 10] but for right now I don&rsquo;t want to have any involvement in all of that. It was an amazing run and I&rsquo;m so grateful for it. But I&rsquo;m needed in other places right now &mdash; and in other ways &mdash; between the market and the show and how everything changed. I have this time so I&rsquo;m using it for something good.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Mary has been a cast member on the show since it premiered in 2019. After nine seasons, <em>Us</em> confirmed that Mary, <strong>Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani</strong> and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/mary-bonnet-hints-at-not-returning-for-selling-sunset-season-10/">more would not be returning to the show.</a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/selling-sunset-stars-who-left-the-series-where-are-they-now/" target="_blank">&lsquo;Selling Sunset' Stars Who Left the Series: Where Are They Now?</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;I know that they are switching up the cast so I hope that it becomes a more positive show. I really do,&rdquo; Mary said. &ldquo;Maybe I would go back on it if it were really positive. But it&rsquo;s still Selling Sunset so I kind of doubt [that]. They&rsquo;ve said that it&rsquo;s going to be more positive and about fun for the last three seasons.&rdquo;</p>
<p>For now, Mary is focused on fostering dogs and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/how-mary-bonnet-healed-after-difficult-selling-sunset-exit/">spreading awareness about adoption.</a></p>
<p>&ldquo;There&rsquo;s many, many ways that people can help either by fostering, adopting or with donations to the rescues. Because shelters are not allocating the funds to the dogs. There&rsquo;s a huge crisis,&rdquo; she claimed. &ldquo;But what people can do if you don&rsquo;t have any of those available is go to volunteer at a shelter &mdash; even if it&rsquo;s just to go and take photos or videos of the animals and post them.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Mary&rsquo;s concerns about kill shelters led to her ongoing rescue journey, saying, &ldquo;There&rsquo;s a big misconception that shelter dogs are damaged. They are the most appreciative and loving animals. Even if it is just to foster for two weeks. They are so appreciative and so loving and they just want kindness and love.&rdquo;</p>
<p>She concluded: &ldquo;We need people&rsquo;s help. Whatever people can do to need help &mdash; even if it&rsquo;s just raising awareness themselves or reposting a dog if you see one that&rsquo;s still available. You don&rsquo;t know who will see it.&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/yellowstone/"><em>Yellowstone</em></a> expanded with <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dutton-ranch-ends-season-1-with-pregnancy-deaths-and-kidnapping/"><em>Dutton Ranch</em> but is the spinoff filmed</a> in the same location?</p>
<p>The original series, which premiered in 2018,<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dutton-ranchs-kelly-reilly-cole-hauser-address-cast-exits/"> introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton</a> family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. As the fictional universe grew, so did the amount of shows filmed at the ranch, which in real life is known as Chief Joseph Ranch.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

<p>The working cattle ranch in Montana has opened to guests after finding fame on <em>Yellowstone</em>. There were also certain scenes for Yellowstone&rsquo;s spinoff 1883 that took place at Montana&rsquo;s Yellowstone Film Ranch, which features a Western town with 26 structures.</p>
<p>Sheridan, for his part, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dutton-ranchs-kelly-reilly-cole-hauser-helped-find-showrunner/">owns several pieces of land</a>, including Texas&rsquo; Bosque Ranch, which is a personal ranch that now hosts film and TV shoots, concerts and special events. He quietly purchased the legendary Four Sixes Ranch in Texas in 2021. It is set to serve as the backdrop for the now-delayed <em>6666</em> spinoff which will follow Jimmy Hurdstrom (<strong>Jefferson White</strong>) during his time working at the ranch.</p>

<p>As for <em>Dutton Ranch</em>, production of the series took place in Ferris, Texas. The Paramount+ series quickly found success and was renewed before season 1 came to an end in July 2026.</p>
<p>&ldquo;We haven&rsquo;t heard [about there being] five [seasons]. I think we&rsquo;re taking it one season at a time,&rdquo; lead<strong> Kelly Reilly</strong> told <em>The Hollywood Reporter</em> in July about the spinoff&rsquo;s future, before her costar <strong>Cole Hauser</strong> noted, &ldquo;This has been a beast. We haven&rsquo;t had any time to even think about it either. We literally filmed [until] the end of March and we&rsquo;ve been on the road selling the show.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Reilly <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dutton-ranch-makes-season-2-showrunner-change-after-firing/">hinted there might be a story</a> line in place &mdash; at least for season 2.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I think we have some ideas about season 2, with where we left season 1,&rdquo; she shared. &ldquo;We can&rsquo;t talk about the ending, but we&rsquo;re super excited about where it goes and so we already know sort of where the beginning is and that&rsquo;s exciting.&rdquo;</p>

<p>During the season 1 finale, Oreana (<strong>Natalie Alyn Lind</strong>) found out she is pregnant and Carter (<strong>Finn Little</strong>) is probably the father. The finale didn&rsquo;t have enough time to clarify the paternity, however, because Oreana&rsquo;s dad, Rob-Will (<strong>Jai Courtney</strong>), was shot and killed by his brother, Joaquin (<strong>Juan Pablo Raba</strong>), before she could leave town. Carter, meanwhile, was kidnapped as revenge against his parents, Beth (Reilly) and Rip (Hauser).</p>
<p>Season 2 <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/dutton-ranchs-taylor-sheridan-returns-after-showrunner-change/">is expected to look a bit different</a> after <em>Us</em> confirmed that <strong>Chad Feehan</strong> will not return as showrunner. Puck News previously reported that Feehan stepped away from <em>Dutton Ranch</em> after alleged friction with series stars Hauser and Reilly, among others.</p>
<p>&ldquo;Showrunners change all the time,&rdquo; Hauser told The Hollywood Reporter. &ldquo;This business is about adapting.&rdquo;</p>
<p>He continued: &ldquo;We&rsquo;ve been doing this for a long time. Things change. People move on.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Reilly had a similar outlook about the shakeup. &ldquo;It was a really difficult but really satisfying show to make,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;And so was Yellowstone.&rdquo;</p>
<p><em>Dutton Ranch</em> returns for season 2 in 2027.</p>

<p><em>Lady Bird</em> was a big hit nearly a decade ago, and <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/greta-gerwig/"><strong>Greta Gerwig</strong></a>&rsquo;s coming-of-age dramedy still resonates today.</p>
<p><em>Bend It Like Beckham</em> introduced the world to <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/keira-knightley/"><strong>Keira Knightley</strong></a>, while <em>Run Lola Run</em> showed just how experimental &ndash; and fun &ndash; movies can be.</p>

<p>Christine McPherson (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/saoirse-ronan/"><strong>Saoirse Ronan</strong></a>) is desperate to escape her hometown, but she has one problem she can&rsquo;t quite overcome just yet &ndash; she&rsquo;s still a kid. But graduation is just around the corner, and she has her sights set on an adult life in New York City. She&rsquo;ll have to grow up a little first, which means enduring cringey relationships with boys, tolerating her slacker brother and his equally lazy girlfriend, and her complicated relationship with her stressed-out mother, Marion (<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/laurie-metcalf/"><strong>Laurie Metcalf</strong></a>). Christine wants to grow up fast, but she doesn&rsquo;t realize she might miss out on the best part of becoming an adult.</p>

<p>Nominated for five Oscars in 2018, <em>Lady Bird</em> is one of the rare films that feels like an instant classic. That&rsquo;s due to a lot of things: the pitch-perfect acting, especially from Ronan and Metclaf as a mother-daughter who frustrate each other to no end; the almost too-real screenplay, which contains a lot of truths about the agonies and ecstasies of growing up; and the sensitive direction by Greta Gerwig, who is clearly telling a fictionalized version of her own youth. <em>Lady Bird</em> is a movie you hold close to your chest and cherish, hoping nothing will diminish its luster. Nothing will.</p>

<p>Lola (<strong>Franka Potente</strong>) is too good for Manni (<strong>Moritz Bleibtreu</strong>); she already knows this before he tells her he&rsquo;s going to rob a nearby grocery store to pay his drug lord boss for money he lost in a deal. Lola knows if Manni goes through with it, he&rsquo;ll wind up dead, so she sets off to get the money herself and save her no-good bf from certain death.</p>
<p>On paper, <em>Run Lola Run</em>&rsquo;s plot is pretty straightforward, but it&rsquo;s the execution that makes <em>Run Lola Run</em> stand out &ndash; and what makes it so fresh and modern a quarter-century after its first release. Director Tom Tykwer tells Lola&rsquo;s story three times, utilizing a <em>Choose Your Own Adventure</em> approach that details how his main protagonist&rsquo;s story changes if she makes different decisions, like if she decides to scream at a cyclist she runs into while running, or if fate intervenes, which either dooms or saves her. <em>Run Lola Run</em> is a fun, playful film; if there&rsquo;s not much beneath the surface, well, then just enjoy the surface &ndash; especially the earwormy techno soundtrack.</p>

<p>Jess (<em>ER&rsquo;</em>s <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-moms/pictures/hollywood-moms-parminder-nagra-2009278/"><strong>Parminder Nagra</strong></a>) is 18, lives in London and follows her parents&rsquo; strict rules &ndash; well, mostly. She&rsquo;s obsessed with soccer and, in particular, David Beckham, but her parents don&rsquo;t want her to play for fear of her grades suffering. With the help of her friend Jess (Keira Knightley), Jess tries out for the local women&rsquo;s team and earns a spot. When the team wins enough games to qualify for the championship, Jess is ecstatic &ndash; until she learns it&rsquo;s on the same day as her older sister&rsquo;s wedding. Jess faces an impossible choice, and if she makes the wrong one, she could regret it forever.</p>

<p>World Cup fever is still running high, so it&rsquo;s only appropriate to watch one of the best soccer movies ever made. Even if you&rsquo;re not a fan of European football, you can still cherish <em>Bend It Like Beckham</em>, which tells a coming-of-age story we can all relate to. Nagra and Knightley are fully believable as teenage girls who get a kick &ndash; literally! &ndash; out of competing in a sport they love, even when they have a crush on the same guy. <em>Bend It Like Beckham</em> is the rare film that doesn&rsquo;t trivialize female friendships or center them around men; instead, it focuses on their shared love of scoring goals on the pitch and basking in the glow of winning a hard-fought game.</p>

<p class="p1">Prospective <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/big-brother/"><em>Big Brother</em></a> houseguest <strong>Levi Banks</strong> is speaking out after his exit at the eleventh hour.</p>
<p class="p1">As season 28 kicked off on Thursday, July 9, Levi was nowhere to be seen during the premiere &mdash; despite previously appearing on a leaked cast list. He also was not included on the <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/pictures/big-brother-28-cast-revealed-meet-the-new-houseguests/">CBS&rsquo; official list of 14 new houseguests</a> released earlier this week.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p class="p1">To explain his absence, Levi shared a post <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/DalwbHbgKQE/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">via Instagram</a> on Thursday.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;What is up, <em>Big Brother</em> fans? My name is Levi Banks, and I just wanted to give you all a quick update and to let you know that I am doing great,&rdquo; he said in the Instagram video.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/survivors-rick-devens-will-compete-on-big-brother-28/" target="_blank">&lsquo;Survivor 50&rsquo; Star Rick Devens Will Compete on &lsquo;Big Brother 28&rsquo;</a></p>
<p class="p1">Levi continued: &ldquo;I was all set and ready to move into the <em>Big Brother</em> house this season, and as we got closer and closer and closer to the move-in day, I just kinda realized that this was not the right fit for me personally.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Insisting that it was his own decision to walk away rather than being cut by the powers that be at <em>Big Brother</em>, Levi said it wasn&rsquo;t a call he made easily.</p>
<p class="p1">&nbsp;&ldquo;I kinda wanted to let you know that was probably the hardest decision of my entire life,&rdquo; Levi said.</p>
<p class="p1">He continued, &ldquo;I am back home in North Carolina right now, and I am on good terms with CBS, <em>Big Brother</em>&nbsp;and everyone, and I just wanted to let them know &mdash; and you all know &mdash; that I am so, so, so thankful for this opportunity. It has been very life-changing.&rdquo;</p>

<p class="p1">Although he will no longer be in the middle of the action in the <em>Big Brother</em> house, Levi said he would still be following the season as a fan.</p>
<p class="p1">&ldquo;I am so freaking excited to watch the show tonight,&rdquo; he said. &ldquo;Oh, my gosh, I am pumped! It&rsquo;s gonna be a little bit of a different POV than going in the house as to being in my couch, so I will take that one thing at a time. But I want to say thank you all so much for your support.

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/celebrities/teddy-swims/"><strong>Teddy Swims</strong></a> is pouring his emotions into his art.</p>
<p>The two-time Grammy nominee, 33, released his powerful new single, &ldquo;Break Up in Reverse,&rdquo; on Friday, July 10, after <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/teddy-swims-reveals-hard-part-about-finding-new-sound-after-fatherhood/">revealing his split</a> from his girlfriend, <strong>Raiche Wright</strong>.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">
						<div id="mb1-static" class="htlad-mb1"></div>
						<div id="leader2-inline-static" class="htlad-leader2"></div>
					</div>
<p>The lyrics find Swims wishing to undo a failed relationship. &ldquo;Every night would get better instead of getting worse / I&rsquo;d watch you slowly slip back into my hands,&rdquo; he sings during the song&rsquo;s chorus. &ldquo;Say goodbye to me in the beginning / And love me in the end.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The &ldquo;Lose Control&rdquo; singer even references Wright&rsquo;s home state, crooning in the track&rsquo;s second verse, &ldquo;You&rsquo;d be on your way back from Massachusetts / Bet it breaks the hearts of stars when we use &rsquo;em as excuses.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Swims confirmed on Friday that &ldquo;Break Up in Reverse,&rdquo; which follows the April release of &ldquo;Mr. Know It All,&rdquo; is autobiographical.</p>
<p>&ldquo;&lsquo;Break Up in Reverse&rsquo; really hits home for me right now and where I am in my life. Upon writing this song and my next album, I&rsquo;ve been going through it with my relationship with my baby&rsquo;s mother coming to an end,&rdquo; he said in a statement, referencing Wright, with whom he shares a 12-month-old son.</p>

<p>The &ldquo;Bad Dreams&rdquo; singer went on to share that &ldquo;Break Up in Reverse&rdquo; is also inspired by rapper <strong>Nas</strong>&lsquo; 2001 song &ldquo;Rewind.&rdquo;</p>
<p>&ldquo;We loved how the whole song takes place in reverse,&rdquo; he explained. &ldquo;So we thought, &lsquo;How beautiful would it be if we took the same idea but wrote it about my relationship&rsquo; with the punchline being &lsquo;Say goodbye to me in the beginning and love me in the end.'&rdquo;</p>

<p>Swims first confirmed his breakup from Wright, 30, during a Q&amp;A at Stagecoach in April.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m going through a bit of a situation with my baby mother, a little heartbreak going on,&rdquo; he said at the time before assuring the crowd that he was still &ldquo;in a good place&rdquo; in his life. &ldquo;I got a 10-month-old &hellip; and he&rsquo;s the sweetest kid in the world. Trying to make [music] not about being a dad is the hard part because nobody wants to hear just nothing but dad tunes.&rdquo;</p>

<p>Wright has also publicly addressed her separation from the musician, most recently sharing that the exes are still adjusting to being coparents.</p>
<p>&ldquo;The thought of having to split time with my baby 50/50 has been the hardest reality I&rsquo;ve ever had to face,&rdquo; she wrote on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, July 7. &ldquo;When I dreamed of becoming a mother and having children, I never imagined this would be my reality. My heart hurts, and my stomach is in constant knots. My heart goes out to anyone who is going through this, or who has ever had to.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;Two months ago I interviewed Mickey Lee on &lsquo;God 101&rsquo; That&rsquo;s when she revealed to me that she was born with a hole in her heart, and as an adult she survived an ATV accident that should have killed her, but God kept her alive,&rdquo; Julie, 56, wrote via Instagram. &ldquo;Last night God brought her home &#128330;&#65039; Rest In Peace dear Mickey. I will see you again on the other side in eternity.&rdquo;</p>

<p>She continued, &ldquo;I remember telling her one day in the HOH she&rsquo;s part of my heart now and she always will be and I meant that &#128525;&#129394; it&rsquo;s so hard to lose a friend and especially such a bright light &#128149; 2025 wouldn&rsquo;t have been as impactful without the journey I went on with big brother and Mickey &#128149;.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Mickey played for 59 days in the <em>Big Brothe</em>r house in season 27. She was the final houseguest to be evicted prior to the jury phase starting.</p>

<p>It didn&rsquo;t take long<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/how-is-love-island-usas-zach-georgiou-related-to-charlie/"> after reuniting with brother <strong>Charlie Georgiou</strong></a> before<a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/love-island/"><em> Love Island USA</em></a>&lsquo;s <strong>Zach Georgiou</strong> brought up how he saw <strong>Bryce Alakai Dettloff</strong>&lsquo;s penis.</p>
<p>During Family Day on Thursday, July 9, Zach immediately introduced Bryce to Charlie, who was previously on the show. Zach asked which moments Charlie had seen, who confirmed he had a front row seat (along with the rest of America) to Bryce&rsquo;s &ldquo;girth check.&rdquo;</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p>Earlier in the season, Bryce surprised viewers when he showed Zach <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-island-usas-zach-compliments-bryces-penis-size/">his penis and asked for a &ldquo;girth check.&rdquo;</a></p>
<p>Zach brought it up later, saying, &ldquo;That f**king snake you got down there.&rdquo; After Bryce asked for Zach&rsquo;s opinion on his anatomy, his friend called it &ldquo;long.&rdquo;</p>

<p>&ldquo;It is nearly my f**king boner, that was. I am not going to lie,&rdquo; Zach added. &ldquo;That was good s***.&rdquo;</p>
<p dir="ltr"><em>Love Island USA</em> follows a group of singles who must pair off in order to stay in the show&rsquo;s luxury villa. The contestants &mdash; referred to as Islanders &mdash; live in isolation in a villa under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and earn a shot at the $100,000 prize.</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the islanders <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-island-usas-jen-gabriel-are-mocked-for-having-public-sex/">are filming nonstop for weeks</a>, viewers are watching daily episodes and casting votes that affect the couples and the fate of the contestants.</p>

</p>
<p dir="ltr">While the Islanders paired off during Day 1, it didn&rsquo;t take long for those bonds to shift. There was also the arrival of bombshells, who tempted several Islanders to reconsider their connections.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before viewers tuned in, Peacock issued a message to remind the audience to be kind.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&ldquo;The Villa runs on good vibes, and so does this community. We love seeing your reactions, opinions, and debates, but everyone deserves to feel safe and respected,&rdquo; read their statement. &ldquo;This is a space for fun, not negativity &ndash; so keep it kind, keep it positive, and remember: this is LOVE Island!&rdquo;</p>

<p>Host <strong>Ariana Madix</strong> has also had to previously issue a message for those <em>Love Island USA</em> viewers who are taking things too far when expressing their frustrations with the show.</p>
<p>&ldquo;I do want to say something to some of those people who are online,&rdquo; she said during a June 2025 episode of Aftersun. &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t be contacting people&rsquo;s families. Don&rsquo;t be doxxing people.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ariana questioned the behavior <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-islands-ariana-madix-slams-rigged-vote-claims-after-elimination/">she saw on social media.</a></p>

You still have time to delete all of that because the islanders don&rsquo;t have their phones,&rdquo; she noted. &ldquo;So we are giving you a chance because this is a fun, amazing and beautiful show. We should be thanking each one of these islanders every single day for giving us themselves.&rdquo;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/shows/love-island/"><em>Love Island USA</em></a>&lsquo;s <strong>Melanie Moreno</strong> didn&rsquo;t get support from her family <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-islands-sincere-thought-he-was-bad-at-sex-after-melanie-left/">when it came to her relationship</a> with <strong>Sincere Rhea</strong>.</p>
<p>The Thursday, July 9, episode showed the couple reuniting with their family members. Sincere&rsquo;s dad called him out in front of everyone because of how he explored other women in the villa. Melanie&rsquo;s family, meanwhile, pulled her aside and urged her not to continue to stay with Sincere.</p><div id="starter" class="mb1-wrapper">

					</div>
<p>Melanie and Sincere only have a few more days to make a decision about their future. After weeks of connections, breakups and dramatic moments in the villa, the love experiment will come to an end on Sunday, July 12. The current couples will be broken up into a final four, which America will then vote on.</p>
<p>Similar to past seasons, <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-island-usas-jen-calls-out-gal-for-not-complimenting-her/">each pair will get the chance</a> to go on their own date. They will then decide if they want to remain together and write &ldquo;vows&rdquo; for each other before finding out who gets crowned the winning couple.</p>

<p>The envelope ceremony will take place on finale night, where the duo who received the highest number of votes from the public are given two envelopes: one for each partner. One envelope contains $100,000, while the other is empty. The partner with the $100,000 envelope chooses whether to share the money with their partner as a test of trust and commitment &mdash; or walk away with all of it as a way of choosing the prize over love.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-islands-caleb-asks-what-french-fry-means-after-sex-acts/">The <em>Love Island</em> franchise began</a> in the U.K. in 2002 before expanding worldwide with various spinoffs, including<em> Love Island USA</em> on Peacock. Each season, a different group of single Islanders are challenged to pair off in order to stay in the show&rsquo;s luxury villa for a chance at the $100,000 prize.</p>

<p>Season 8 has had its fair share of drama &mdash; both while filming in Fiji and off screen. Earlier this season, <strong>Vasana Montgomery</strong> was cut from the show after resurfaced social media posts showed her using a slur.</p>
<p>Casa Amor bombshell <strong>Alannah Keyser</strong> also got pulled from the season after facing backlash for a resurfaced video that allegedly showed her using a racial slur.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/love-island-usas-zach-lies-to-kayda-about-alannah-getting-removed/">Similar issues arose during</a> season 7, with <strong>Yulissa Escobar</strong> leaving days into the experience last year after clips of her using racial slurs on a podcast circulated online.</p>
<p>Season 7&rsquo;s <strong>Cierra Ortega</strong> also faced backlash for using a slur in her own resurfaced social media post. She was pulled from the villa and later issued an apology for her past behavior.</p>
<p>New episodes of <em>Love Island USA</em> are released six days a week &mdash; except for Wednesdays &mdash; on Peacock.</p>
