Joey Graziadei is officially a rom-com leading man, but there’s only one woman whose opinion matters to him: his fiancée Kelsey Anderson.

Graziadei, 31, revealed on the Thursday, November 12, episode of the “Viall Files” podcast that Anderson, 28, was “so funny” about his casting as single firefighter Dean in Roku Channel’s The Holiday Spark, especially when he told her there would be a movie makeout. (His character enlists Jamie Chung’s illustrator Laura to help plan a holiday party for his firehouse where a possible love connection ignites.)

“I got the offer and I asked first, ‘Does a holiday movie — is there a kiss?’ And they’re like, ‘Yeah, there’s a kiss at the end,’” he recalled. “I’m like, ‘Alright, let me talk to Kelsey.’”

Joey Graziadei Admits Kelsey Relationship Wasn’t ‘All Sunshine and Rainbows’ After ‘The Bachelor’

Anderson, however, was totally unfazed by the idea of him kissing another woman after the couple met on The Bachelor in 2023, getting engaged during the season 28 finale, which aired in 2024.

“Kelsey, like, literally laughed in my face,” Anderson remembered. “She’s like, ‘I saw you kiss all these girls on TV. This is literally the foundation of our relationship. If you think I’m going to keep you from getting your first acting opportunity, because there’s a kiss scene, you’re crazy.’”

Graziadei said he was just making sure she was cool with the idea, telling her, “I was like, ‘I’m trying to be a good fiancé.’ I’m asking.”

Graziadei noted that Anderson has always been supportive of his career, including his stint on Dancing With the Stars season 33.

Throughout the season, which he won, his connection with dance partner Jenna Johnson was criticized and questioned for being too cozy, but Anderson never took the bait and always backed Graziadei.

“If Kelsey for some reason said, ‘I just am not comfortable, I feel like it’s not something I want to keep dealing with.’ I wouldn’t be doing it,” Graziadei explained on the podcast. “That is my first and foremost, what I want in life is to make sure — this could all go away — I need to make sure that Kelsey and I are still good.”

He added that with everything that’s happened since they got engaged, he couldn’t be happier with his partner.

“The fact that she was so supportive of me, I'm just grateful,” Graziadei gushed.

Outside of The Holiday Spark, which is currently streaming on Roku, Graziadei has been focused on his and Anderson’s upcoming wedding.

“It’s fun man. We’re really close to the final stages of it all,” he shared of the planning process. “Welcome party’s locked. Venue’s locked. Location. Date. We’re finishing up our invites right now to get them out.”

The Traitors star added, “It’s been so much fun, because I'm like I can’t wait for the day to be here. But now, it’s also the point where it’s sneaking up a little bit.”

Top Chef alum Leah Cohen is mourning the loss of her husband, Ben Byruch, after his death at the age of 44.

“We are heartbroken to share the passing of Ben Byruch — husband to our chef and owner Leah Cohen, devoted father, son, brother and friend to so many,” Pig and Khao wrote via Instagram on Thursday, November 12. “Ben was the co-founder of Pig & Khao and its creative heart. His vision shaped who we are, and his warmth, passion and sense of humor touched everyone lucky enough to know him.”

The statement, which was also shared on Cohen’s Instagram page, continued, “We ask for privacy for Leah and the family during this time. We will miss him more than words can say.”

Byruch’s cause of death has yet to be revealed at the time of publication.

The announcement comes after the Food Network’s Chefs Making Waves Instagram account posted a photo of Cohen cooking alongside Byruch at the cable network’s food, wine and spirits festival held at sea. The last event took place from September 21 to September 28.

The couple — who share two children — also appeared at the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival, which kicked off last month.

Soon after Byruch’s death was announced, many in the food space offered their condolences and shared their fond memories of the restaurateur.

“@leahscohen can’t imagine what you’re going through, but here if you need anything,” Chef Jordan Andino wrote in the comments section. “Help with the business, childcare, a shoulder to lean on, a drink to celebrate life. He was incredible and am honored I got the opportunity to work with you both🙏🏾🙌🏾.”

Cook Adeena Sussman added, “Ben was such a generous soul. Will miss his talents and smiling presence.”

Cohen appeared on the fifth season of Top Chef in 2009 and went on to marry Byruch in July 2016.

A new documentary is expected to put the spotlight on Clayton Echard’s years-long legal battle with Laura Owens.

Peacock announced on Friday, November 13, that a four-part documentary titled Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens is set to premiere in 2027.

“Love Trapped: The Case of Laura Owens follows an astonishing story when Laura meets Clayton through a potential real estate deal and after their short connection, she tells him she’s pregnant with his twins,” the documentary’s logline states. “Their private dispute erupts into a nationally followed story fueled by citizen sleuths and social commentators that join the media firestorm that implodes into a shocking trail of deception, legal threats and public humiliation. The deeper the investigation goes, the more unbelievable the revelations become, while raising a disturbing question: when does the desire to be loved turn into an obsession?”

In a press release, Peacock confirmed the documentary will feature exclusive interviews with Echard, 33, his legal team and other men who were allegedly targeted by Owens, 36.

For the first time, Owens will also share her experience and perspective in a new interview.

In August, Owens pleaded guilty to two counts of fraudulent schemes and artifices, one count of taking the identity of another and one count of perjury, Fox 10 Phoenix and Mercury News reported. Additional charges were dropped as part of her plea agreement.

“It’s the first time that we’ve seen Laura take any accountability in this matter,” Echard — who led season 26 of The Bachelor in 2022 — said via a TikTok video on August 29 before sharing his reaction to the plea. “I felt numb and emotionless. I couldn’t understand why that was.”

He continued, “I woke up today and after reflecting more … it’s because my healing was not contingent upon what occurred yesterday. I have already healed. I’m grateful for this entire experience — I know that sounds backwards. The amount of resilience I’ve built through all of this, the community I have found with all of this adversity, the power of presence that I’ve gained. The insight. Everything that has come from all of this. I would do it 1,000 times over because I’m proud of the man I’ve become through it all.”

On October 23, Owens was sentenced to 30 days in jail and seven years of probation.

Owens and Echard’s legal battle was previously analyzed on iHeartRadio’s “Love Trapped” podcast. Hosted by Stephani Young, the podcast premiered in February, with the finale airing Thursday, November 12.

Authorities have identified the gunman behind a deadly mass shooting near a Washington, D.C., gym as Dr. Matt Lambert, a 55-year-old emergency medicine physician who was in the middle of an ongoing legal dispute with his condominium association.

Lambert shot five people in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood on the morning of November 12, 2026, killing one person and injuring four others before dying by suicide. The gunfire began inside the VIDA gym and ended hours later inside a seventh-floor apartment in the building directly above the fitness club.

Matt Lambert Identified as Washington, D.C. Mass Shooter

Metropolitan Police Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll confirmed Lambert’s identity during a press conference, describing a gunman who began his rampage inside the gym before fleeing upstairs to barricade himself in a residential unit. Lambert was a licensed emergency medicine doctor who most recently worked as a healthcare consultant.

The person killed inside VIDA was James Stuart, the building manager. One of the surviving victims remains in critical condition after being shot in the head, while three others suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Carroll said investigators quickly connected the violence to a civil matter Lambert had been pursuing against the people who managed his building. “We do know that the victim that was killed inside the VIDA was the building manager for that location. So, we do know that there has been an ongoing dispute between the suspect in this case and the building, condo, homeowners association, management regarding maintenance issues—mold and the like—that there was a civil case that he filed against them. So, we believe that it’s related to that,” Carroll said.

Inside Matt Lambert’s Condo Association Lawsuit

Lambert purchased the 1,200-square-foot penthouse inside the building for $1.095 million in 2016. Five years later, he listed the home for $1.275 million, according to online listings cited by NBC Washington.

Lambert filed his lawsuit against the condominium association in 2025, claiming he had started noticing mold, moisture and water problems inside the apartment in 2024 after a contractor worked on the building. He alleged the damage cost him more than $100,000 and sued for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and nuisance. He also requested a jury trial.

The case was still active at the time of the shooting. A mediation session had been scheduled for March 2027.

Matt Lambert’s Attorney Speaks Out

Joel Braithwaite, Lambert’s attorney, said he was surprised by the violence and pushed back against any suggestion that the civil case had been a signal of what was to come.

“I don’t want the story to be that litigation led to this result. Litigation is supposed to prevent these results by having people litigate in court and not have that spill into the streets,” Braithwaite said.

Braithwaite said Lambert owned several residences but considered the D.C. penthouse his “prized possession.” He described a client who felt singled out by the people who ran the building.

“One of the issues for us was that Matt was treated differently than a lot of other people in the units, and that was the source of some consternation for us … and that’s what resulted in litigation, because to his mind, only his complaints were not heard and addressed by the condo association,” Braithwaite said.

According to Braithwaite, Lambert had been in “great spirits” in the days leading up to the shooting, giving no indication that anything was wrong.

White House Shooting Suspect Dead and Bystander Critically Injured Amid Gunfire With Secret Service

What Happened Inside the VIDA Gym?

D.C.’s Metropolitan Police Department first alerted the public on social media that there was an active shooter in the area of 15th Street and P Street in Logan Circle on Thursday morning. During the press conference, Carroll said the shooting began inside VIDA, where one person was killed. Roughly 50 gym members evacuated after hearing loud bangs.

As officers moved through the scene, they cleared the gym and the apartment building on the same block. Authorities then heard gunshots coming from the seventh floor of the apartment building and determined the gunman had barricaded himself inside a unit.

Negotiators made contact with him and spoke with him for more than an hour before hearing a single gunshot. Officers forced their way into the apartment and found him dead.

Witnesses Recount the Gym Shooting

The attack left Logan Circle residents reeling, and one witness described the confusion of those first moments to WJLA.

“I hear a loud bang. So at first, everyone’s confused. I’m confused. Everyone else is confused. And I go towards the commotion area. And I see someone lying on the floor,” Anthony Mirones, who was inside the gym at the time, said.

Mirones recalled that another man with “a better view” of the shooting “looks back behind me and tells me, like, ‘He’s dead.’ So I’m like, ‘What?’”

“I get a little closer. I see he’s on the floor; I see some blood,” Mirones said. “So I think, OK, I’m connecting to all this loud bang. I think, ‘gunshot.’”

A fire alarm was pulled to get people out of the building. “Everyone evacuated eventually pretty quickly and then we’re outside the entrance of the Vida Fitness, and police officers start coming to run inside and then another police officer is outside the entrance asking ‘What’s the description of this guy?’” Mirones said.

Who Was Matt Lambert?

Before the shooting, Lambert had built a career in emergency medicine and had more recently pivoted to work as a healthcare consultant. Public records and his attorney’s account paint a picture of a man with multiple properties and significant resources who had grown fixated on a single legal fight over his D.C. home.

That fight will now outlive him only as a matter of civil record. For the families of the people he shot—especially Stuart’s loved ones—the question of why a long-running dispute over mold and maintenance ended in gunfire inside a neighborhood gym is one the courts can no longer answer.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County offered a glimpse at couples in different places in their relationships.

Off screen, news broke that Jen filed for divorce from Zac after seven years of marriage.

‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Stars Jen Affleck and Zac Affleck’s Relationship Timeline

"I think doing reality TV for sure sped up the process [of calling it quits] because when you're filming and you're rewatching your life unfold in front of millions of people, it's the difference between looking in a mirror," she exclusively told Us at the time. "It highlights things."

Jen continued: "But also it's like one year of therapy feels actually like 20 years of therapy because it's so much more magnified when you're sharing it in front of the world. I feel like if I hadn't done reality TV, I would have still made this decision. It just would have been way longer down the road."

Phil Collins has not given up on the possibility of touring again despite spending the better part of 20 years battling numerous health problems.

"Never say never ... I do think, every now and again, that I'm not finished [touring]," Collins, 75, revealed in a recent interview with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. "On the other hand, I think of the practicalities."

Those everyday "practicalities" would include giving up his current lifestyle for the grueling physical toll of life on the road.

"I'll enjoy the sunshine, you know, just there's no sweat, don't have to do anything. Just get up and say, 'What am I going to do today?'" he said. "But on the other hand, once you've been on stage all your life and tasted that, it's difficult to stop."

Phil Collins’ Spokesperson Addresses Fan Concerns as Singer is Hospitalized for Surgery: Report

As for the possibility of releasing new music, Collins teased, "I've got ideas. I got things I finished. I've got things that I've half finished."

Collins has struggled with various health issues, including type 2 diabetes, for many years. In February 2025, he told Mojo that he was no longer "hungry" to keep playing music because he'd been "very sick."

The rocker suffered a serious spinal injury in 2007 that caused nerve damage. While the injury initially left him completely incapable of playing drums, he underwent corrective surgery in 2015.

Collins recovered well enough to reunite with Genesis bandmates Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford for the group's The Last Domino? Tour in 2021, though his physical limitations mandated that Collins perform from a chair.

The "In the Air Tonight" musician told BBC Radio 2’s Zoe Ball in January that he now had "a 24-hour live-in nurse" as a result of undergoing five knee surgeries.

"I’ve had challenges with my knee… I had everything that could go wrong with me, did go wrong with me," he explained.

Collins' health problems got so serious in 2024 that his five children — daughters Lily and Joely and sons Simon, Nicolas and Matthew — were summoned to his bedside to say their goodbyes.

Phil Collins Reveals 14-Year Feud With Paul McCartney: ‘You F–k’

"Because there were some decisions to be made about ‘Do we keep Phil on life support?’" he shared with The Sunday Times in August. "My kidneys were packing up, my organs were just seizing up. People were coming to say goodbye.”

He continued, "But I don’t remember them coming. I didn’t have no idea this was going on. They were all worried that they wouldn’t see me again. It could all have gone so terribly wrong.”

Collins made a major life change in 2024 when he stopped drinking alcohol after experiencing serious complications with his kidneys.

"I guess I had too much of it,” he told BBC Radio 2 in January. “I was never drunk, although I fell over a couple of times. But it is just one of those things that happened and it all caught up with me, and I spent months in hospital.”

An encouraging milestone for Collins will take place on Saturday, November 14, when he is inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo act alongside Oasis, the Wu-Tang Clan, Celia Cruz and producer Rick Rubin at Los Angeles' Peacock Theater. (The band Genesis was previously inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2010.)

The astonishing rescue of an 11-month-old baby who spent roughly 24 hours underground inside a dog crate has gripped a community in South Carolina and drawn national attention to a case authorities are calling miraculous. 

Koah Sharp was pulled from the dirt alive on November 10, 2026, after his father allegedly took him from a relative’s care and buried him in the woods near Batesburg-Leesville.

Us breaks down what is known about how investigators located the boy, the charges against his father and the small details that may have saved Koah’s life.

How Investigators Found Koah Sharp

A search party combing the area around the home of the suspect’s father noticed a patch of “freshly disturbed” dirt on the afternoon of November 10, 2026, according to Lexington County Sheriff Jay Koon.

Investigators began digging and soon heard the baby crying from beneath the soil, a sound Koon described at a news conference as “the most joyful sound.” 

Koah was found inside what Koon called a dog crate wrapped in a towel, and authorities believe that towel, combined with colder temperatures, likely created an air pocket that allowed him to survive.

“So as you imagine, the race was on. Everybody’s getting down there trying to get him out,” Koon said. 

The sheriff said Koah was “screaming at the top of his lungs” when rescuers reached him. 

He was rushed to a hospital and released that same evening, according to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, which announced in a November 11 news release that “Koah Sharp is alive and well.”

Who Is Michael Comer, the Father Charged in the Case

Michael Comer, Koah’s father, was arrested and now faces charges of attempted murder, unlawful conduct toward a child, custodial interference and burglary, according to the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department. 

He was initially taken into custody on a burglary charge on the evening of November 9, 2026, after being located at an outbuilding in Batesburg without the baby. He was denied bond on November 12.

Tyler Douglas, the lead investigator with the Lexington County Sheriff’s Department, told a judge that Comer showed no remorse for the attempted murder of his son, according to reporting from the Associated Press and CBS News. 

Last month, Comer pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge and was sentenced to probation, per the Associated Press. He has reportedly not yet been appointed legal counsel.

What Happened Before Koah Sharp Disappeared Near Batesburg-Leesville

Koah was in the care of his paternal grandmother on November 9, 2026, when Comer arrived at her home. 

“She left Koah with Comer to run an errand while another caregiver was coming over,” Koon said in a statement. “When the caregiver got there, Comer was gone and Koah was with him.” 

A desperate search was launched across the area around Batesburg-Leesville, with the sheriff’s office posting on Facebook a description of a blue-eyed “bright boy” with reddish blond hair who regularly uses a pacifier.

Patricia Comer, Michael’s mother and Koah's grandmother, told NBC News that her son is “where he needs to be” following his arrest. “Honestly, I’m his mother, and I never expected this from him,” she told the outlet.

Baby’s Grandfather Describes the Rescue

John Comer, the suspect’s father and Koah’s grandfather, told the Associated Press that he witnessed his grandson being pulled from the ground on the property near his home. He said the baby was crying and covered in dirt when rescuers lifted him out.

“I became ecstatic, my hands straight in the air. I’m looking in the sky, jumping up and down, praising God,” John said. “And at the same time I hit my knees and I’m just crying.”

What’s Next for Koah Sharp and the Criminal Case

Koah was released from the hospital the evening of his rescue, and Koon said he “hopefully will make a full recovery.” The sheriff’s office initially spelled the boy’s last name as Sharpe before updating it to Sharp in subsequent releases. Comer remains in custody after being denied bond, and information about his legal representation was not immediately available at the time of the sheriff’s department’s announcements.

Investigators have continued to emphasize the narrow margin by which the baby was found alive, pointing to the towel-wrapped crate and the cooler weather as the likely reasons an air pocket formed beneath the dirt.

A Pennsylvania woman’s disappearance remains unsolved more than 10 years after she vanished before she was set to testify as a confidential informant.

Investigators continue to search for Danielle M. Drozdowski, a Wilkes-Barre resident who went missing in 2014 at the age of 25, according to a Tuesday, November 10, news release from Pennsylvania State Police’s organization, PSP Tips.

Drozdowski “was a confidential informant who was scheduled to testify before a grand jury in August of 2014, however she failed to appear and was subsequently entered as ‘wanted,’” state police said.

Authorities are offering a $5,000 reward for information solving her disappearance. She would be 37 years old today.

Family and friends haven’t seen or heard from Drozdowski since March 19, 2014, the last time she shared a post to Facebook, according to police.

“Her last known location and what she was last wearing are unknown,” police said.

Drozdowski is white, has blue eyes and is described as around 5-foot-2 or 5-foot-3, and weighing around 120 to 165 pounds by the National Missing and Unidentified Persons System (NamUs).

She also has several tattoos, including on both of her hands, her left arm and the back of her neck.

She has the outline of an “Om” symbol tattooed on her neck, according to NamUS. On her right hand, she has a tattoo of a possible shamrock. On her left arm, she has a multi-color skull tattoo and flowers.

She also has a tattoo of an anchor on her left hand.

A woman who commented under PSP Tips’ Facebook news release wrote Drozdowski was her former best friend.

“She was my best friend at one point in time in school, played on the basketball team together did everything together she didn’t have an easy life growing up but she was trying too make the best of it,” the woman, Samantha Lynn, wrote in the comment left under the post.

“I hope and pray she is out there some where and is okay her friends & family miss her terribly,” the comment also said.

Anyone with information on Drozdowski is asked to call Pennsylvania State Police’s Wilkes-Barre station at 570-821-4110 or PSP Tips Toll Free at 1-800-472-8477. Tips can also be shared online.

A student at Barnard College was slashed outside of her New York City dorm building during a seemingly random attack.

Police said that the attacker snuck up behind the victim while she was walking in front of the suite-style Barnard residence hall on West 116th Street around 8:15 p.m. on Thursday, November 12, the New York City Police Department confirmed to Us. The victim – who has not been publicly identified but was said to be a 21-year-old woman – was cut behind the ear.

The victim was taken to Mount Sinai Medical Center for treatment, and she is currently in stable condition.

Following the attack, Barnard College notified students by sending them an email confirming that the victim is a “member of the Barnard community,” according to The Columbia Spectator.

Columbia University and Barnard College are directly adjacent to each other and are located in Manhattan's Morningside Heights neighborhood.

The incident was witnessed by pedestrians, and student Eva Kates told Columbia University’s newspaper that she was walking home when she saw the victim and police after they responded to the scene in the aftermath of the slashing.

“I originally thought that someone had robbed Morton Williams and I was like, ‘Wow, they have a lot of police officers for that,’” Kates recalled. “But then I saw a girl, and she had blood on her neck.”

She added, “I was walking down 116th, and there were a bunch of police officers, at least five or six, standing there.”

Columbia University students received texts about the suspect, who was described as a “dark skin male, 5-foot-9, stocky build wearing a black hooded coat with a yellow hat underneath and tan pants,” according to the university's newspaper.

The suspect fled the scene and no suspects have been arrested as of time of publication.

Gary Maroni, director of Barnard’s Community Accountability, Response, and Emergency Services department, also sent a text update to students, first notifying them that the attack took place on Thursday at 9:30 p.m.

Maroni later sent a follow-up email to Barnard students at 10:19 p.m., in which he shared an image of the suspect that was captured by a security camera. He also confirmed to students and community members that the New York Police Department was investigating the incident.

The investigation into the attack remains ongoing as authorities work to track down the slasher and bring him into custody. The New York Police Department had no additional information to share when contacted by Us about the case.

Derek Hough and Julianne Hough have spent nearly two decades sharing the Dancing With the Stars ballroom — and along the way, their on-screen chemistry has sparked more than a few raised eyebrows from fans who forgot (or never knew) the pros are brother and sister.

The siblings joined DWTS in 2007, eventually racking up a combined eight mirrorball trophies. Derek now judges alongside Carrie Ann Inaba and Bruno Tonioli, while Julianne cohosts the show with Alfonso Ribeiro. Over the years, they've opened up about the perks — and the awkward moments — of dancing together in front of millions.

Here's everything the Hough siblings have said about performing together:

Julianne and Derek Hough Look Back at 20 Years of ‘DWTS’: Sibling Rivalries, Production Changes and More

Julianne Hough Recalls Why Fans Were Convinced They Were a Couple

Julianne and her brother's first joint DWTS performance left audiences very confused.

Appearing on a September 2025 episode of the "Chicks in the Office" podcast, Julianne recalled Inaba choreographing a rumba — commonly known as "the dance of love" — for the siblings to perform on the live tour.

"Our first thing that we ever did on Dancing With the Stars was we were both on the live tour," she said at the time. "Carrie Ann was the one [who] choreographed everything, and she got us to do a rumba together."

The billing didn't help clear things up.

"Our names in the program were 'Derek and Julianne Hough,' so everybody thought we were married and we were doing this rumba," Julianne noted. "When people found out we were brother-sister, I remember there was one venue … and we just heard, 'That's just wrong!'"

Robin Wright Thought Derek and Julianne Hough Were Married

The confusion extends well beyond live-tour audiences.

At the 2026 Golden Globe Awards, Damsel actress Robin Wright admitted to Extra host Derek that she'd assumed he and Julianne were a couple.

"Wait, you're the brother of Julianne, I love her," Wright told Derek at the time. "You guys are amazing together. I follow you guys on Instagram and watch you guys move. ... Can I tell you something? When I first saw her dance, I was like, 'They're married.'"

Derek took it in stride, replying, "I've got that sometimes."

Derek Hough's Awkward 'Tell Me About It' Moment

Derek Hough nodded to the sibling-dance awkwardness during a November 2026 live episode of DWTS. When Paralympian Ezra Frech and pro partner Daniella Karagach performed an intimate Grammy Night Argentine tango after admitting in rehearsals that they felt like siblings, Inaba joked that Frech had turned his "sister into [his] lover" for the number.

"Sister to lover that's awkward," Ribeiro chimed in.

"Tell me about it, that was weird," Derek added.

Fans quickly speculated the comment referenced his dynamic with Julianne. "Derek adding in 'tell me about it' after Carrie Ann gave Ezra and Daniella credit for doing an intimate dance when they said they feel like siblings HAD ME GIGGGGGGLING," one fan wrote via Threads.

Julianne reposted the Threads comment to her Instagram Stories, adding a shrugging-woman emoji.

Speaking to Us in November 2025, the siblings gushed about one another.

"I'm Derek's biggest fan," Julianne exclusively shared with Us. "He's always the first person to recognize and see me for who I am. He always has my back, and I know I can trust that my brother is always there because he's shown up that way."

Derek returned the praise, telling Us, "I actually want to give Jules her flowers. When she came on the show, she changed the trajectory of DWTS forever. She became the model of what we see now — that multifaceted dancer. She came in and disrupted the whole scene."

Beyoncé is sharing rare insight into her wedding with Jay-Z 18 years after they tied the knot.

“We had a very small wedding in our home,” the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer, 45, told i-D in an interview published on Wednesday, November 11. “We told the guests we were having a party, and no one knew they were coming to our wedding but our parents and a few friends.”

Beyoncé also gushed about her wedding dress, which her mother, Tina Knowles, designed.

“My favorite dress my mother designed was my wedding dress — it was gorgeously simple and made with her love,” she said. “Wearing a dress she designed was very important to me, and more important than any designer dress.”

Beyonce and Jay-Z’s Rare Family Photos With Blue Ivy, Rumi and Sir: Cutest Moments

Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 56, tied the knot at their New York City home in April 2008. Though the couple have mostly kept quiet about their special day, a few details have been made public over the years.

People reported earlier this year that the Grammy winners traveled to upstate New York days before their nuptials to quietly obtain their marriage license. The pair chose April 4 as their wedding date because of the personal significance of the number four. (Beyoncé was born on September 4, while Jay-Z was born on December 4.)

Only 40 guests attended the ceremony, including Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin. Beyoncé's parents and sister, Solange, were also on the guest list, as well as Jay-Z’s mom, grandmother, sister and niece.

Beyoncé’s mother’s minister, Rudy Rasmus, officiated the wedding, while DJ Cassidy provided the music at the reception.

Beyoncé finally gave fans a look at her wedding dress in the 2011 video for her song "I Was Here.” The stunning gown featured a strapless design and a dramatic, ruffled train.

Nearly four years after tying the knot, Beyoncé and Jay-Z welcomed their first child, daughter Blue Ivy, in January 2012. The pair became parents again when they welcomed twins Rumi and Sir in June 2017.

In her i-D interview, which promoted the British launch of her haircare brand Cécred, Beyoncé gushed about her children developing their own sense of fashion.

“I’m so excited to pass all my archives to my kids, especially now that they’re all discovering their own personal style,” she shared. “I’m going to enjoy seeing how they pull from their parents’ carpets and tours if they’re ever interested. Rumi’s favourite place to shop right now is Ross and TJ Maxx these days.”

Candace Cameron Bure and Valeri Bure have cracked the code to a long-lasting marriage, recently celebrating their milestone 30th anniversary.

“Without our faith, I don't think we would have the marriage the way it is today. That's kind of our secret, and the way that we approach everything,” Valeri, 52, exclusively told Us during a joint interview with Candace, 50, in celebration of passing selection on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 5. “Our family is very important to us, and our faith is important. That's what brings us all together.”

And with their shared foundation of faith, Valeri also joked that there’s another secret to their happy and loving union.

“Is it PG or not? I have a couple secrets, and our kids do not want to hear those secrets,” he quipped to Us, while Candace chimed in to add, “He’s funny. Makes me laugh.”

Candace Cameron Bure’s Quotes About Her Decades-Long Marriage to Valeri Bure

Candace gushed that her husband’s humor is “the best thing,” adding that she and Valeri crack up about “all the dumb little things” constantly.

“That's just the best part because I think you have to laugh in life,” she said. “So to have your best friend that continues to make you laugh is great.”

Valeri, meanwhile, shared that he appreciates learning something new about Candace daily and how she “continues to change.”

“That's the fun part about it, is that our journeys continue to go forward and not be like, ‘Oh my gosh, OK, you're the same person that you were 30 years ago,’” he said.

Candace Cameron Bure and Husband Valeri Bure’s Relationship Timeline

In their more than three decades together, Candace and Valeri have raised three children — daughter Natasha, 28, and sons Lev, 26, and Maksim, 24 — and are now navigating the new world of grandparenthood. (Lev and wife Elliott Bure welcomed son Bond Leo in September while Natasha and husband Bradley Steven Perry announced the arrival of daughter Winnie in October.)

“Candace is a baby hogger. She is the worst. I would hold my grandkid and she would run up and just start taking it away and I'm like, ‘Stop, stop!’ I'm like, ‘This is my turn to hold the baby.’ So, I've learned that she is a baby hogger. She's taking it away from me,” Valeri joked to Us.

Candace agreed with her husband’s assessment. “It's true. I do. But the kids have all said, like, ‘What happened to you? Who's become a softie?’” she said. “They're like, ‘This is not our papa that we grew up with. Who is this person?’”

“I'm like, ‘Why is your baby crying? Give it to me. Baby should not be crying,’” Valeri said, while Candace added, “I know. And our kids it’s like, ‘Nope, they gotta cry it out. Gotta cry it out.’ No crying for the grandbabies.”

Candace Cameron Bure’s Best Parenting Quotes While Raising 3 Kids

While embracing their new chapter as grandparents, Candace is also celebrating passing selection on Special Forces season 5 alongside Collin Gosselin and Alexia Umansky. Before being crowned one of the newest winners, Candace got emotional in interrogation about the dynamics in her marriage — sharing that she felt like a “beta” living with an “alpha.” Looking back, Candace shared that she felt like it was “an interesting comment” because the interrogation interviews “are so long.”

“And then they're cut down to this 30 second clip or this one-minute clip, and it doesn't quite paint the full story,” she explained to Us. “But we are great partners. I would say that we both lead in what we're good at leading in and what we're kind of meant to do. I feel so protected and loved by Val and that's what I want. I don't want to lead people on a mission and have to yell. I am not a protector in that way.”

Candace, however, thinks she does “very well” leading in more of a "nurturing" and “quiet” way.

“We need leaders that lead in different ways. Every type of leader has a place, but not every leader is the most commanding person. I don't know, that's what I think. I wish that was told in the interview because that's kind of what we talked about, but you didn't get to see it all,” she said, while Valeri added with a laugh, “They cut it … She’ll write a book about it.”

Patrick and Brittany Mahomes might have more than just a new addition to the family to celebrate next year if history serves them right. 

The couple announced they are expecting their fourth baby earlier this week, which is good news for fans of the Kansas City Chiefs. Every season Brittany, 31, has been pregnant, the Chiefs have made the Super Bowl. 

“Glad someone finally figured this out, just doing my part over here 😂😝😆,” Brittany joked via her Instagram Story on Thursday, November 12. 

Brittany and Patrick’s daughter Sterling was born in February 2021, less than three weeks after the Chiefs lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Super Bowl LV.

Son Bronze was born in November 2022, just months before the Chiefs defeated the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LVII.

The couple welcomed daughter Golden in January 2025, weeks before the Eagles got revenge on the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. 

Brittany and Patrick announced their latest pregnancy Tuesday, November 10, on social media. 

“Another blessing from God 🥹🙏🏼 & then there were 6 🤍,” Brittany shared via Instagram. 

Patrick, 31, was asked whether he expects the Super Bowl connection to continue during a press conference after the pregnancy news was announced. 

“I’m hoping, I’m hoping,” he said with a laugh. “I don’t know if Brittany is, but I’m hoping we can keep that going and get another Super Bowl win with a baby on the way. That’d be awesome for sure.”

The Chiefs currently hold a 6-2 record, right behind the 7-2 Denver Broncos in the AFC West. NFL Next Gen Stats puts their odds of making the playoffs at 86% heading into their matchup with the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 15. 

Super Bowl berth or not, Patrick said he’s hoping he and son Bronze can “even the score” and the family will welcome another boy.

“It’s obviously a blessing, another baby on the way,” Patrick told reporters on Tuesday. “I’m excited for it … I’m just praying for a healthy baby at the end of the day.”

Love Is Blind season 11 star John Shannon is taking accountability for the actions that led to the dissolution of his marriage to Sarah Williams.

“I did want to address something that I think is pretty important, which is the way I would handle conflict with the name-calling and the ‘viping,’ as it was referred to,” John, 33, said in a Friday, November 13, social media video. “I think for a long time I normalized name-calling as just part of conflict and I didn’t appreciate how damaging that could be and the lasting effects of it, especially when it’s coming from someone who’s supposed to be your biggest supporter.”

He added, “I do realize I’m 33, and I should have f***ing figured that out by now.”

John got engaged to Sarah, 34, sight unseen in the Love Is Blind pods in 2025, which began airing on Netflix last month. While John and Sarah were the sole season 11 couple to get married in the finale, they split this summer. During the reunion, John claimed they broke up after he made a “mistake” and texted a stripper who also worked as an escort. Sarah, however, has since alleged that she ended her marriage after John called her “dumb,” among other names, that made her feel ashamed of herself.

Since Sarah filed for divorce in June, John has entered therapy.

“Recently, I started seeing a counselor … who helps specifically with managing your emotions and dealing with conflict,” he said on Friday. “I thought I needed somebody who had more of a specific focus and approach on my issues. I haven’t always known how to contribute to a healthy relationship, and I think that caused me to carry some pretty unhealthy habits into marriage. I did want to be married, [but] I clearly was not ready. I wish that I had realized that before committing to one or even signing up for something like this.”

Even so, John revealed he “learned a lot” from his brief marriage.

“I just want to make the right changes before ever getting into another relationship, whenever that may be,” he noted. “I don’t expect one video to change anyone’s opinion about me, but I do want to call [out] that I have a lot of work to do, and I am committed to doing it.”

Alongside his emotional apology video, John attempted to clear up speculation about his divorce proceedings.

Love Is Blind’s Sarah Shares New Claims About John’s ‘Explicit’ Escort Texts, Says He Was on Tinder

“I’m not withholding divorce papers. I was officially served on October 26, and we’re working toward getting everything resolved,” he wrote in his caption, also acknowledging his messages with the escort. “I knew who I was texting, and what it meant. I was looking for attention, just like when I downloaded Tinder that same weekend. When we started talking about actually meeting up, I stopped. But I’d already crossed a line I never should have, and there’s no excuse for that.”

Love Is Blind season 11 is now streaming on Netflix.

Jon Gosselin’s ex Colleen Conrad is celebrating his son Collin Gosselin’s victory on Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test.

“Congratulations to Collin, Candace [Cameron Bure] and Alexia [Umansky] on winning Special Forces! ❤️. What an incredible accomplishment!” Conrad wrote via Instagram on Friday, November 13.

“Collin, I couldn’t be prouder of you! I was so disappointed I couldn’t be in Pennsylvania celebrating with you last night, but I was cheering you on from Florida!” she continued.

Conrad, who dated Jon, 49, from 2014 to 2021, called this an “incredible time” in Collin’s life after he won the Fox reality show and spent four consecutive weeks on the New York Times’ bestseller list with his memoir, In the Shadow of Eight: Surviving the Reality of My Childhood.

“And today, watching Candace on The View talk about what a sweet young man you are and how she thought of you like a son really touched my heart,” Conrad added. “There’s nothing better than hearing someone else recognize the wonderful person I’ve always known and loved.”

She concluded, “Congratulations again to all three of you! Collin, I love you so much! ❤️.”

Collin, 22, made it to the Special Forces season 5 finale on Thursday, November 12, alongside six other recruits — David Charvet, Alycia Baumgardner, Matt Barnes, Hannah Stocking, Bure and Umansky.

Collin, Bure, 50, and Umansky, 30, were the last three standing after an intense, 12-hour interrogation challenge.

“I wanted to win,” Collin said after his victory, becoming emotional. “And now I feel I have this new, profound belief in myself that nobody can take away from me.”

‘Special Forces’ Season 5 Winners Break Silence on Challenges, Near-Eliminations and More

Collin joined Special Forces — a show that puts celebrity contestants through military training — three years after his estranged mother, Kate Gosselin, competed on the inaugural season of the show. (Jon and Kate, 51, were married from 1999 to 2009 and rose to fame on their family’s reality show, Jon & Kate Plus 8.)

“I mean, a part of me for a long time was like, ‘I’m gonna prove my mom wrong after everything she did to me as a kid,’” Collin, who has accused Kate of physical and emotional abuse, exclusively told Us in September. (Kate has denied his allegations.)

“But at a certain point, it’s not for her — this journey, saying yes and going out in the jungle — this was for me,” he continued. “Looking back, it’s been a couple of months, but I feel like I learned and grew so much, and I did this for me and for all the children who are part of the mission I’m on. “I just want to show them you can be strong. You can be a warrior and push through and keep going. That’s who I did it for. Not for her.”

A former Louisiana police officer and volunteer firefighter convicted of raping children was sentenced to three life prison sentences and castration as an additional punishment.

Kedreyon K. Williams, of New Roads, was found guilty in October of three counts of first-degree child rape, indecent behavior with a child and possession of pornography involving children following a four-day trial, according to the 18th Judicial District Attorney’s Office.

“A rape conviction automatically carries a mandatory sentence of life in prison, but District Attorney Tony Clayton went a step further and filed the motion for castration,” the office said in a Friday, November 13, news release.

In 2024, Louisiana became the first state to legalize surgical castration as punishment for people convicted of sex crimes against a child younger than 12, according to the Associated Press. Louisiana and a few other states also allow for chemical castration in cases involving sex crime convictions.

Williams, 31, was sentenced to undergo chemical castration, the district attorney’s office confirmed to Louisiana First News.

“He performed disgusting acts on children who could not defend themselves,” Clayton said in a statement. “He is a child predator and he deserves exactly what he is getting and more.”

“The castration is another layer of punishment for these horrendous crimes,” Clayton added. “If a man takes sexual advantage of a child, and we will take his manhood!”

Williams, who previously worked as a New Roads police officer and volunteer firefighter in the city, was convicted in connection with the rapes of multiple children ages 8 to 11, according to prosecutors.

He allegedly forced them to perform sex acts, including at New Roads fire stations, his workplace at a business and his home.

Williams was also found guilty in connection with a video found on his phone that showed “a child performing a sex act on him,” the district attorney’s office said.

Louisiana Teacher and Coach Arrested After He Was Accused of Sex Crimes With Minor

Authorities launched an investigation after a child’s mother alerted police to information her child shared with her, according to prosecutors. Then, investigators identified additional children who Williams allegedly abused.

During Williams’ trial, 12 jurors returned guilty verdicts against him after deliberating for 39 minutes, the district attorney’s office said.

The district attorney’s office didn’t specify when Williams may undergo chemical castration, a rare punishment involving administering pharmaceutical drugs to stop a person's sex drive, according to Louisiana Law Review. Chemical castration has been allowed under state law since 2008.

A defendant sentenced to chemical castration in Louisiana must first be evaluated by a court-appointed medical expert who will determine whether they are “an appropriate candidate” for treatment, according to state law.

Southern Charm star Craig Conover is happy to hear his ex Naomie Olindo is expanding her family — but that doesn’t mean they’ve been in touch following her pregnancy announcement.

“[My assistant] just told me I had to do this before tonight, ‘cause he goes, ‘Someone’s gonna ask you that,’” Craig, 37, said on the Thursday, November 12, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I didn’t do it, but no, I haven’t.”

While Craig noted that he has yet to congratulate Naomie, 34, on her forthcoming bundle of joy, the Bravo star was open to reaching out.

“The reason I haven’t is because Naomie and I … are in a really good place and are friends,” he said. “I figured I would just see her, but you’re right: I do need to text her. I’ll text her after this. I’m happy for her.”

‘Southern Charm’ Alum Naomie Olindo’s Dating History: From Craig Conover to Husband Billy Haire

Craig’s fellow WWHL guest, Justine Lupe, defended his lack of communication.

“I feel like it’s not irregular for people to not text their exes 'congratulations on the baby,’” the Nobody Wants This actress, 37, chimed in on Thursday.

Host Andy Cohen, however, pointed out that Craig should send a message if it was already “in [his] heart” to do so.

“I’m not going to stay in her life, [but] I will root for her,” Craig stated of Naomie. “I think she’s fine without me. I think she’s doing just fine.”

Us exclusively confirmed in April 2025 that Naomie, who dated Craig from 2015 to 2018, was dating Billy Haire. Naomie and Billy, 40, tied the knot in July, three months before revealing her pregnancy with baby No. 1.

“Bébé Billy à Bord!!,” Naomie wrote via Instagram in French, which translates to “Baby Billy on Board,” last month. “Feeling incredibly lucky (and shocked) to be in the chapter of life! And thinking of those still hoping for this chapter of their own.”

Who Is ‘Southern Charm’ Alum Naomie Olindo’s Fiance Billy Haire? What to Know After Brooks Nader Divorce

While Craig didn’t immediately speak with Naomie about her pregnancy, he previously shared his approval of her romance with Billy.

“I have heard more good things about this guy than anyone,” the Sewing Down South founder said on WWHL in December 2025. “So, apparently she’s in really good hands.”

Billy, for his part, was previously married to model Brooks Nader from 2019 to 2024.

“I can [talk] about my experiences. That’s in the fine print,” Brooks, 29, alleged on an episode of “The Viall Files” podcast in August 2025. “I think that I was a different person when I was married to him. [He] was the first guy I ever dated and met in New York. I was 19 years old … and then I stayed with him till 27, and I’m 28 now. I feel like it did shape me, and it was a really, really hard decision to get a divorce just because you don’t love somebody. That’s why I did it.”

An Oklahoma man was arrested after he allegedly hit his mother while driving her car when she tracked down the vehicle using a hidden AirTag.

John Tiffin was charged with second-degree murder in connection to the death of his mother, Karen Curthoys. Tiffin, 31, was also charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and reckless driving and obstructing an officer.

The Tulsa Police Department said in a Thursday, November 12, press release that the incident began in September when Tiffin borrowed his mother's car. Conflict evolved when he refused to give it back to Curthoys, 69, after weeks of having the vehicle despite "the expectation that he'd give it back.”

Authorities said that Curthoys and one of her other children eventually managed to track the car down by using an AirTag that had been hidden in the collar of the victim's dog, who was with Tiffin at the time of the incident, according to court documents obtained by KTUL.

Oklahoma Woman Steals Car Belonging to Her Ex’s New Girlfriend and Drives the Vehicle Into His Home

Curthoys and the other child tracked the vehicle to a residence on October 8, where they found the car parked in a driveway. The duo then got out of the car to try to get the vehicle back from Tiffin.

"The victim stood in the driveway between the car she arrived in and the car Tiffin hadn't returned," police said in the press release. "Tiffin and his boyfriend were in the car, and the brother opened the car door to confront them. An altercation occurred, and Tiffin shifted the car into reverse and hit the gas pedal, hitting his brother with the open door and pinning his mother between the two cars."

After she was hit, Curthoys was taken to a hospital. She died from her injuries on October 12.

Detectives conducted a nearly monthlong investigation before an arrest warrant was issued on Tuesday, November 10, for Tiffin’s arrest.

Authorities reported to the home where Curthoys was hit, and “officers began searching the house, warning Tiffin the K-9 would bite him if he didn't come out.”

"After getting no answer, the K-9 located Tiffin in a bedroom. Tiffin was holding two knives and trying to cut at his own neck when Officers found him,” police said. “After several commands, he dropped the knives, and Officers took him to the hospital to be cleared for jail."

Tiffin is currently in custody at the Tulsa County Jail and is being held on a $550,500 bond.

It’s not currently clear whether Tiffin has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The investigation into the case remains ongoing.

William Shatner made specific plans for his own burial after battling stage IV skin cancer.

"I have in my will that there will be a tree over my body," Shatner, 95, confirmed during a Thursday, November 12, appearance at the 2026 End Well Summit conference. "The whole family is doing that."

The Star Trek icon attended the event at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles alongside his daughter Melanie Shatner Gretsch to discuss their simultaneous battles with stage IV cancer, per Entertainment Weekly. (William also shared daughters Leslie, 68, and Lisabeth, 65, with his first wife, Gloria Rand.)

In William's case, Melanie, 62, encouraged him to get checked when she spotted a lump on his cheek in 2022.

"The family doctor said, ‘Massage it, it’s a saliva gland.’ I massaged it for a month, and it got bigger. So then I went to another doctor," William remembered. "He said, ‘We’ve got to get that out right now, it’s melanoma.'"

Breaking Down the Viral William Shatner Rumors About His Stage 4 Cancer Battle and Erika Kirk Feud

Around the same time, Melanie was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. She ultimately underwent a double mastectomy, 30 radiation treatments and several rounds of chemo with HER2-targeted therapies.

"It was like 10 o’clock at night [when I called my dad with the news], which for both of us is like 4 in the morning. I called him and I just started to cry and I said, ‘I’m so scared I’m going to die.’ I could hear the sheets rustle, and he got out of bed and he said, ‘I’m coming over,'" she remembered.

Melanie continued, "I needed my dad. I need my daddy to come and look under the bed for monsters, and tell me there aren’t any, and ‘you’re going to be fine.’ And it’s exactly what he did. He drove over, parked in our driveway, and I came outside. He gave me one of those great dad bear hugs, and said, ‘This is going to be a blip in your life. It’s going to pass and you’re going to get through this.'"

During the Shatners' End Well panel, William acknowledged that having to face stage IV cancer alongside his daughter forced him to consider the realities of death.

"We all dimly realize that we’re going to die [someday] in the future," he noted. "That perception, that immediacy changes everything. … You can be sanguine somewhat and stifle the fear somewhat and make it work for you. We lucked out. It worked for us."

William and Melanie were ultimately declared cancer-free in late 2024.

In April, William was forced to deny a cruel hoax claiming that he'd been diagnosed with stage IV brain cancer.

"[Facebook groups] have created stories that say I have stage 4 brain cancer, was in some kind of fight with Erika Kirk and that I’m dying," he explained via X. "All their stories are monetized. Most of the stories use an AI image of me. Facebook Support will not remove the page."

William Shatner Speaks Out After Reported Hospitalization: ‘I’m Perfectly Fine’

He clarified that "none of these stories are true," adding, "They apparently seem genuine enough for fans to repost them across social media and send messages of support to me and my family all while the culprits behind the account make money."

"This is the downside of AI and yellow journalism," he argued. "While [AI] can be a wonderful tool in the right hands; it can be used as a weapon in the wrong hands. If you see a bizarre story about me; unless you see it posted on one of my verified accounts take it with a grain of salt."

Lindsay Arnold is revealing how younger sister Rylee Arnoldis staying in tip-top shape ahead of the Dancing With the Stars season 35 semifinals.

“My baby sister’s snatched physique is going viral right now, well deserved, and I'm here to give you all the secrets,” Lindsay, 32, a former DWTS pro herself, began a Thursday, November 12, TikTok video.

Lindsay noted that as a certified personal trainer, she designed Rylee’s fitness routine to better focus on “more consistent workouts” more than one year ago.

The Movement Club fitness app founder explained that Rylee, 21, asked her to create a program for her so that she could maintain her stamina off-season and feel like “she never stepped away” from the ballroom. (Rylee and season 35 dance partner Connor Wood are about to enter week 10 of the competition and are inching closer to the season finale.)

Rylee Arnold Reveals What It Would Take for Sister Lindsay Arnold to Make ‘DWTS’ Comeback

Rylee also asked about “increasing her muscle tone and muscle definition,” which Lindsay took into account while tailoring her program.

"As an oldest sister, when a baby sister comes to you and wants help or wants your advice on something, it's the best day ever," Lindsay gushed. "So I immediately got her onto a full workout regimen, as well as incorporating some supplements into her everyday routine."

Before season 35 of DWTS began, Lindsay said that her sibling did six days of workouts with one rest day.

“I would always start her with 30 minutes of cardio,” the mother of three explained, noting that the types of cardio would vary between a stationary bike, treadmill at a 12 incline and three speed, followed by a “30 to 45 minute Movement Club session.”

Rylee also followed her sister’s six-week Advanced Weights program, which uses five to 20-pound dumbbells, a workout bench and resistance bands.

"Rylee followed along with [it] religiously, which was so cool to see," Lindsay shared. "I've been so proud of Rylee and her consistency in moving her body and working towards her goals and obviously it's been a huge payoff."

Rylee Arnold Says Sister Lindsay Is Her ‘DWTS’ Lifeline, Reflects on Boyfriend Walker’s Support

Once Rylee began her DWTS journey, Lindsay said they “shifted” her fitness regime since she was already dancing up to nine hours a day.

Lindsay explained that instead of focusing on the Advanced Weights program, she pointed Rylee to her app’s Pilates x Strength program. It combines the “incredible lengthening and flexibility” of Pilates-style workouts with “strength and weighted” workouts.

“Then cardio every day is based on her preference and energy levels,” Lindsay shared, pointing out that “the dancing and rehearsals that she’s doing is providing an incredible amount of cardio into her routine.”

Lindsay, who exited DWTS in 2022, admitted that being a pro on the show gives dancers an amount of cardio that “isn’t realistic in everyday life” and is definitely a factor in Rylee’s toned physique.

As the season has progressed, Lindsay told Rylee to “focus on protein intake,” and encouraged her to add 5 mg of creatine into her daily routine to support her muscles and keep building strength.

"Speaking from experience of being in that position [on DWTS], I always found that during a season, with the amount of cardio demands on you and the amount of calories that you are burning through in a day with a rigorous schedule,” Lindsay explained. “I found it was really hard for me to maintain my muscle definition and tone throughout a season."

Lindsay ended her video by showing Rylee some love and applauding her hard work on and off the dance floor.

“Rylee is absolutely incredible. What she's able to manage and do in her days, she's amazing," she said. "I'm so proud of her across the board: her work ethic, her talent, her choreography ability has just been absolutely off the charts this season, and I could not be more proud of her."

“I think anybody in their right mind, if you get told, ‘Hey, you got a chance to go find the love of your life,’ [would say yes],” Hartman, the quarterback for the Washington Commanders, said on Good Morning America in November 2026. “I know one thing: When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met; they just ask if you wanna do it forever. I don’t see any problem with that.”

Hartman further noted that he was initially apprehensive about taking over the Bachelor mantle until speaking with show host Jesse Palmer, who previously held the role in 2004 amid his own NFL career.

“I got really lucky and talked to Jesse Palmer and he kind of gave me the insight, what it is and what it’s not,” Hartman added.

Everything to Know So Far About ‘The Bachelor’ Season 30 Starring NFL Quarterback Sam Hartman

In addition to Palmer and Hartman, several former NFL stars have also handed out roses on The Bachelor. In addition, leads Sean Lowe, Matt James and Grant Ellis all played collegiate ball, as did Bachelorette contestants Tyler Cameron and Andrew Spencer. Spencer’s cousin, Clay Harbor, also played in the NFL years before appearing on Becca Kufrin’s season 14.

Keep scrolling to see which NFL stars have been the Bachelor:

Jesse Palmer

Palmer was drafted by the New York Giants in 2001 as a quarterback. After playing with the Giants for four seasons, Palmer signed with the San Francisco 49ers practice squad in 2005. He retired later that year, transitioning to a broadcast career.

Amid his football career, Palmer led The Bachelor season 5, which aired in 2004. He ended the show in a relationship with Jessica Bowlin, which only lasted a few months.

Colton Underwood

Underwood went undrafted in 2014 before signing with the San Diego Chargers practice squad. He also spent time with the Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders before retiring in 2016.

After appearing on Kufrin’s Bachelorette season in 2018, Underwood briefly searched for love again on Bachelor in Paradise that summer. After leaving the beach spinoff single, Underwood helmed the next season of The Bachelor. He left the show in a relationship with Cassie Randolph, though they broke up nearly two years later. Underwood publicly came out as gay in 2021.

Clayton Echard

Echard signed with the Seattle Seahawks in 2016 as a tight end, though his NFL tenure ended in the preseason.

Five years later, Echard appeared on Michelle Young’s season of The Bachelorette. The Missouri native was named the lead for 2022’s season 26. Echard left the show single, breaking up with Gabby Windey and Rachel Recchia after realizing he was still in love with Susie Evans. (Evans left the show early after learning he was intimate with the other finalists. They reconnected after production and dated for six months.)

Mel Owens

Owens was a linebacker for the Los Angeles Rams from 1981 to 1989 before pursuing a law career. Decades later, Owens was the second Golden Bachelor. He left the show, which aired in 2025, in a relationship with Peg Munson before they split the next year.

Sam Hartman

After playing college football for six years at Wake Forest and Notre Dame, Hartman signed with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. Two years later, ABC announced Hartman as the season 30 star of The Bachelor.

The cast of Loose Women is sending support to former panelist Lisa Maxwell following the "devastating" news of her 27-year-old daughter Beau Jessup's death.

"Lisa's daughter, Beau, has died suddenly at the age of 27," Loose Women moderator Kaye Adams told viewers during the Friday, November 13, episode. "Beau was Lisa's only child and had been studying in New York."

Adams, 63, and Friday's Loose Women panelists Myleene Klass, Judi Love and Jane Moore fought back tears as they spoke about their colleague's loss.

"There's nothing to say," Adams acknowledged. "The feeling of sadness is just overwhelming."

She added, "We are sending all of our love to Lisa, her husband [Paul Jessup] and all of their family and friends."

Beau's death was announced on Monday, November 9, by the Columbia Journalism School, the institution where she was due to graduate in May 2027 with a master’s degree in Journalism. (She previously studied at the London School of Economics and the University of Cambridge.)

"We extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, classmates and all who knew and loved her," the school said in a statement. "The J-School is working with Beau’s family to offer support and assistance during this difficult time."

A cause of death was not immediately made available.

Columbia received permission from Beau's family and fellow students to release an interview Beau conducted with Columbia News mere weeks before her death. The graduate student reflected on moving to New York City after completing her undergraduate studies in the U.K.

"The most special thing has been learning from my professor journalists, whose careers I aspire to emulate, surrounded by people who are equally curious and ambitious about the world,” she said in the October interview. “Studying in New York City, at the center of global journalism, makes that experience even more exciting. I also love being part of the wider Columbia community.”

Beau spoke about her desire to be "a journalist and writer, reporting on people, culture and social questions" after graduating with a master's degree in 2027.

While speaking to Columbia News, Beau opened up about how she dealt with her mother's fame while growing up. (In addition to appearing on Loose Women from 2009 to 2014, Lisa also had acting roles in the long-running cop drama The Bill and primetime soap Hollyoaks.)

"As the daughter of a television actress, I grew up with an unusual awareness of the distance between people’s lives and the stories told about them,” she told the school paper. “I saw how journalism could illuminate someone’s experiences, but also how those experiences could be distorted, simplified, or transformed into a public narrative over which the subject had very little control. I was curious, from quite a young age, about who gets to tell people’s stories, and what happens when those stories enter the public domain.”

Neither Lisa or her husband Paul have commented on their daughter's death. (The couple tied the knot in the Cotswolds in 2014.)

Investigators have identified the second of two women found buried in a shallow grave in the dirt floor of a basement nearly 40 years after the discovery.

Forensic genetic genealogy identified the woman as Toni L. Gordon, a 31-year-old Nashville resident who was discovered in 1987 in the basement of a home rented by her killer, James Shaffer, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department announced in a Monday, November 9, news release.

Gordon was buried alongside another woman, identified in 2025 as 23-year-old Sheila Cummings, in the dirt floor of the basement in Nashville, according to police.

Investigators believe Shaffer murdered Gordon and Cummings two years before they were found.

Their identities remained a mystery, with Shaffer only referring to Gordon as “Lil’ Bit,” police said.

Shaffer confessed to the murders following the discovery of their bodies and was sentenced to serve two life sentences, according to police. He died behind bars in 2004.

“Family members believed that Gordon moved out of state and lost contact with them,” police said in the news release.

Authorities notified them of the identification of her remains.

By the time a tenant discovered both women’s skeletal remains at the Nashville home, Shaffer was imprisoned in Kentucky in connection with the rape and kidnapping of a teenage boy, according to the Nashville Banner.

Body Found in Crawl Space Confirmed as Missing Tennessee Woman, Police Identify Person of Interest

When Shaffer confessed to the killings, he claimed the women were sex workers and that he murdered them out of anger when he discovered they had allegedly tried to steal something from him, the news outlet reported.

In January 2025, the remains of both Gordon and Cummings were exhumed for a forensic analysis, The Tennessean reported.

Cummings, who was from Elgin, Illinois, was identified months later after a DNA sample was collected from her adult daughter, according to the newspaper.

The woman had previously called cold case investigators about her missing mother, who she said vanished in 1984, the newspaper reported.

Nashville police worked with DNA Investigative Solutions, Bode Technology, the National Missing & Unidentified Persons System, a medical examiner’s office and the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation to identify both women.

Britney Spears’ long-awaited jewelry line is arriving soon.

A new password-protected website was launched on Friday, November 13, where visitors are greeted by a gold BTiny logo with a shooting star emblem branching off the “T.”

“23 years in the making,” the website reads. “Be the first to know when the wait is over.”

The site, described in the fine print as Spears’ entity, then prompts users to input an email address or telephone number.

Every Project Britney Spears Has Announced Since Her Conservatorship Ended: Songs, Memoirs and More

In an email blast, another message read, “OK so … I’ve been keeping a secret!!! A small one … well maybe TINY actually!!!”

Spears, 44, first expressed interest in creating jewelry during a 2003 radio interview.

“I do not have a clothing line, [but] I’m actually thinking about doing a jewelry line,” she said at the time. “It’s going to be called BTiny, and it’s all, like, really small, intricate, little, tiny jewelry.”

While the project didn’t materialize at the time, Spears formally announced her BTiny venture decades later in 2024.

“My first jewelry line coming soon!!! Delicate extremely different and one of a kind pieces,” she wrote via Instagram, revealing the name of her brand. “I’m so excited !!! Realizing how cool it is to be an artist that can be passionate in so many different ways !!! B Tiny coming soon 🌷!!! Girls you’re gonna f***ing love it !!!”

While Spears has not further teased her BTiny endeavor, she has been forthcoming about her next chapter overall.

Britney Spears Says She’ll ‘Never’ Return to Music Industry, Only Writes Songs for ‘Fun’ 

“REDEMPTION is the word of the week because with real ignition, the wisest will listen,” she wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, November 11. “I’ve been an extremely blessed young lady. Nobody has ever kept me from moving forward. I have a passionate heart, ESPECIALLY when I am in MEXICO!!!”

She added, “There is so much to be thankful for… and remember my friends, you’re never alone !!! God is always with you !!! Stay AWARE and always PROTECT YOUR HEART!!! My goal this year is to pray more!!!”

Earlier this week, Us exclusively reported that Spears' odds of returning to the music industry are "less and less likely" following the 2021 termination of her 13-year conservatorship. She has not recorded a new album since 2016, prompting her team to pivot to anniversary releases and other projects celebrating her legacy.

Kelly Stafford responded after a troll on social media criticized her appearance in a makeup-free video tutorial. 

“Get a facelift…you have money,” one commenter wrote on a video posted by Stafford, 37, on Thursday, November 12. 

Kelly, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, took to her Instagram Story to react by taking the high road and responding with kindness instead.

“David, my guy…I pray no one ever says this to your beautiful daughter ❤️,” she wrote.

Kelly and Matthew, 38, share four daughters: twins Sawyer and Chandler, 9, Hunter, 8 and Tyler, 6. 

The video on which David commented showed Kelly candidly discussing the pressures she feels on game days. 

“I’m 37, I have four lovely daughters and I spend every Sunday either on a Jumbotron or in front of a lot of people,” Kelly said while sitting in her bathroom. 

Kelly, a Georgia native, exclusively told Us last month that she feels “pressure to look a certain way” while living in Los Angeles. Matthew has been the Rams’ starting quarterback since 2021. 

“It’s normal for everyone to do things and whatnot. I feel that pressure,” she said. “I can only imagine being my daughters growing up here. I would hope that they see it as, ‘Oh, yeah, that’s just what people do here, but we’re good.’ But I think it will be hard. There’s just a lot here.”

Kelly added, “For me — and I know for my husband, too — we want somewhat of a simpler upbringing for our girls. We already kind of don’t know what we’re doing because neither of us grew up this way. To be surrounded by a community with the same values and things like that is important to us. It will also help [Matthew and myself] stay grounded. That’s part of it, too. We have to stay grounded. How do you do that? You surround yourself with people who have known you forever and can call you out on your bulls***.”

Matthew and Kelly met while student-athletes at the University of Georgia — Kelly was on the cheerleading squad while Matthew was the Bulldogs’ quarterback —  and they got married in 2015. 

“You use your manners. You open the door for people,” Kelly explained. “To me, things that matter. You have respect for people. It’s everywhere, right? It’s not just California. But I do think it’s ramped up here.”

When it comes time for Matthew to retire from football, Kelly admitted the family hasn’t decided where they’ll live. 

“That is a question I ask myself every day,” she said. “Family’s first for us. I miss my family like crazy. I could get choked up talking about how much I miss them. I miss my nephews and nieces growing up. Having people at sporting events, that is how I grew up. We have a huge extended family, as well. That feels like home to me.”

A West Virginia man was arrested after he killed his 12-year-old grandson when his off-road vehicle flipped over while he was driving drunk.

Michael Hager was charged with DUI causing death after his grandson, Abel Sims, died in the crash on Wednesday, November 11.

The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon when Hager, 51, and Abel 12, were in a side-by-side off-road vehicle just outside of Barboursville, West Virginia, according to a criminal complaint obtained by WSAZ.

While Hager was behind the wheel, he allegedly lost control and the vehicle flipped over with both him and Abel inside of it.

Authorities then reported to the scene, where they found the vehicle upside down. Abel was then pronounced dead at the scene after he sustained injuries from the crash.

Cabell County Sheriff's Office deputies reported that Hager smelled like alcohol, he was slurring his words and he nearly fell backward at one point while speaking to authorities. It was also reported that he had a "droopy" and "flushed face," "droopy" eyelids, "glassy eyes," a "blank stare and dilated pupils."

Hager also allegedly would not cooperate with the investigators, which led him to being detained in the back of a police car.

The grandfather was arrested and taken into custody at the Western Regional Jail, where he is being held on a $50,000 bond. Hager is next scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary hearing on Friday, November 20.

It’s not currently clear if Hager has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The investigation into the case remains ongoing.

Following the tragedy, Abel’s family set up a GoFundMe page to help pay for his funeral expenses.

“I have no words to describe the pain I’m witnessing my family go through right now. This is something no family should ever have to prepare for. If you knew Abel, you loved Abel,” fundraiser organizer Olyvia Hager, who is Abel’s aunt, wrote. “He was the best big brother. He was the best boy, and none of this feels real, but somehow it is, and money is the last thing I want on my sister’s mind.”

The family also shared several photos of Abel, which showed him enjoying outdoor activities and spending quality time with loved ones.

The fundraiser has earned $12,485 from 198 donors as of time of publication, which is over the initial goal of $10,000.

Elizabeth Holmes’ partner, Billy Evans, is sharing his true thoughts about their A24 documentary, You Can See Everything.

“I loved [it],” Evans, 34, said in a Friday, November 13, teaser for his upcoming CBS Sunday Morning interview when grilled about receiving a so-called villain edit in the final cut. “I would have preferred for that not to be the case, but it’s entertainment.”

The new movie, directed by Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim, follows Holmes, 42, and Evans in the months before the disgraced Theranos founder reported to prison in 2023.

“I think my goal was to have people see Elizabeth,” Evans said, while acknowledging how the final product made him appear “conniving” to audiences. “When I watch that movie, I see the person that I love and exactly who she is.”

Elizabeth Holmes’ Partner Billy Evans Claims ‘Borat-Style’ Wrestling Scene Was Cut From Documentary

Holmes and Evans, who share two children, opened their rental house to the crew to share their story. Fielder, 43, later brought in Amanda Seyfried, who famously portrayed Holmes in Hulu’s award-winning series The Dropout, to help with the project once Holmes was in prison.

“This was two years after we had shot in that beach house with them. We were just like, ‘Where do we go next?’ The Dropout kept coming up,” Fielder told Rolling Stone in a profile published earlier this month. “Elizabeth’s parents really had very strong feelings about it, and they felt it was one of the main ways the general public knew about who Elizabeth Holmes was, so we thought it would be interesting to talk to you.”

Fielder asked his The Curse costar Emma Stone for Seyfried’s number before giving the Testament of Ann Lee star, 40, a virtual pitch for You Can See Everything.

“We had a 30-minute Zoom, and you were like, ‘Yeah, come over with cameras,’” he recalled. “We wanted to show you what became the first half of the film, and then we would talk about it. That’s all you agreed to.”

Seyfried, who initially thought Fielder was solely seeking advice for the film, told the outlet she was “totally game to do whatever [was] needed” as a self-described fan.

“It was just your energy, and how much time you had spent [on this project], and that nobody knew this was happening,” Seyfried mused. “I just felt like I was totally game because I was so invested in what you were doing, and already had this strange level of trust in you guys.”

In addition to speaking with Fielder about Holmes’ scandal, Seyfried also filmed a conversation with Evans and portrayed the former scientist in several reenactment scenes.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s daughter Vivienne bared her soul through art while revealing she was hospitalized for an eating disorder earlier this year.

The 18-year-old opened up about her private health battle as part of her Los Angeles art exhibition titled “The Tulip Field: A Gallery on Patience of Patients,” displayed from November 2 through November 8 at Forager Crafts.

“Welcome to The Tulip Field,” Vivienne wrote in a statement at the exhibit via Page Six. “Why is it called The Tulip Field, you ask? Like many, I have struggled with mental health. I have also struggled with an eating disorder.”

She recalled, “At the beginning of this year, I was hospitalized for my ED. I was angry, sick, and very alone.”

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Daughter Vivienne, 18, Officially Drops Dad’s Last Name

Vivienne, who is one of Jolie and Pitt’s six children, revealed that with time she embraced the people and the environment at the hospital. (In addition to Vivienne and her twin brother, Knox, the former couple also share kids Maddox, Zahara, Shiloh and Pax.)

“Eventually, however, the kindness and warmth of the kids and staff at the hospital broke down the walls I had built so high,” she wrote. “I have never laughed or cried harder, never been more honest or more myself.”

Vivienne noted that it was the other kids at the hospital who helped her find her strength.

“The other kids there taught me how to be strong when you are at your weakest,” she continued. “It was the worst and best time of my life and I am better for it.”

Vivienne shared with artgoers that the exhibit was meant to document her time at the hospital and how it transformed her life.

“The Tulip Field is what I call the hospital and the paintings here represent moments in time spent there,” she wrote. “Moments of hopelessness, moments I couldn’t stop laughing, moments of safety, moments of bravery.”

The Maleficent actress explained that there were no photographs taken during her hospitalization, so the artwork is a way to depict the feelings and emotions she experienced along with the other patients.

“These are our memories, our purest memories, preserved,” Vivienne added. “The title of each painting is a sentence I took from journal entries I wrote during my time at the hospital, from passages I felt best fit the paintings.”

One painting, titled “Vitals,” showed a tulip in a hospital room getting their vitals taken. It featured a handwritten note dated May 14, 2026, that read, “I feel guilty for needing to be in the hospital this long.”

A separate piece titled “Sleph’s Star,” depicted two tulips staring up at a gold star. The handwritten message read, “We all went to the deck last night.”

Which of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie’s Kids Have Changed Their Last Names After Parents’ Divorce?

Us has reached out to reps for Jolie and Pitt for comment.

Vivienne’s exhibit opened the same day Us confirmed that a judge in Los Angeles granted her petition to legally change her name from Vivienne Marcheline Jolie-Pitt to Vivienne Marcheline Jolie.

Vivienne is the fourth of Jolie and Pitt’s children to drop the Fight Club actor’s moniker since the couple split in September 2016. The exes were married two years and didn’t finalize their divorce until December 2024.

A Louisiana teacher was arrested after he was accused of exchanging inappropriate text messages with a minor during school hours.

The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed that Akeem Treyshaun Broussard was booked on Tuesday, November 10, and charged with indecent behavior with juveniles after school administrators reported he exchanged inappropriate text messages with a student, according to Acadia News First.

Broussard, 24, was taken into custody at Iberia Parish Jail before he was transported to the St. Mary Parish Law Enforcement Center for booking. Authorities said that he is currently being held in custody without bond.

Authorities learned of the allegations when the St. Mary Parish School Board contacted a school resource officer with the sheriff’s office about a teacher who had been accused of having inappropriate communication with a teen. The school board added that the teacher – who has since been identified as Broussard – and the student had their inappropriate exchange on October 26.

Florida Teacher Arrested After Calling Student ‘Mommy’ in Sexually Explicit Text Messages

Police have not released the name of the school that received the report about Broussard. It’s also not currently clear if the minor was one of Broussard’s students.

After the allegations were first reported, an officer reviewed the evidence before they contacted detectives with the sheriff’s office to further investigate.

Detectives went on to review the communication between Broussard and a teen, which have been described as private texts that were sent during school hours and were sexual in nature.

Following Broussard’s arrest, St. Mary Parish Public Schools issued a statement acknowledging that it is aware of the situation and of the allegations made about the teacher.

Superintendent Rachael Sanders confirmed that the teacher was no longer employed by St. Mary Parish Public Schools following his arrest, and she added that allegations of misconduct involving students will never be ignored or hidden from parents.

“The promise to keep our students safe means it is our responsibility to act—not to look the other way,” Sanders wrote in a statement, which was shared via the school district’s Facebook page.

Principal Arrested in Connection to Teacher Accused of Inappropriate Behavior With Student

The statement concluded, “Concerns regarding student safety and well-being should be reported to school personnel, to law enforcement, or through our online anonymous reporting app.”

It’s not currently clear if Broussard has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The St. Mary Parish Sheriff’s Office did not immediately respond to Us’ request for comment regarding updates in the case.

The investigation into the case remains ongoing.

The Real Housewives of New York City star Erika Hammond is sharing an update on her and husband Ankur Jain’s journey to parenthood.

"We obviously matched, we were so excited that night," Erika, 35, said during a recent episode of the RHONY After Show, recalling when the couple found a surrogate. "We, in the next few months, had done an implantation, transfer, and after six weeks found out it wasn't viable. It's been tough because, you know, essentially, it was a miscarriage."

The reality star then shared insight into her relationship with her surrogate and how they’ve coped with the loss.

"Obviously, Ankur and I are very sad, but it's different because I'm not physically going through it,” she explained. “And I was feeling for her, because I'm like, ‘You've been through six weeks, every day, of doing these shots and then now having to go through a miscarriage.’ Like, I kept being like, 'How are you doing? What can I do for you?' And she's feeling bad, because she's like, 'I'm so sad for you and Ankur, what can I do?' And you know, it's a very special relationship to have that and be there and … she’s an amazing surrogate."

Erika said she and Ankur, 36, plan on starting the process again with their surrogate.

"We're waiting to do another transfer," she said. "I am currently doing another round of egg freezing — or embryo freezing — right now. Tomorrow I'm doing my procedure, so I'm bloated and a little moody, which maybe is why I'm a little catty today. We're very excited about doing the transfer."

She continued, "We've had some ups and downs, but I think for us, we're very optimistic. That embryo, that time wasn't meant to be. This next one's going to be it and we've got to keep trying."

Erika and Ankur, who tied the knot in April 2024, decided to explore surrogacy after an MRI revealed Erika had five "growths on her liver.”

"They grow with estrogen. So when we found this out, they had told us that I would [have] a high-risk pregnancy, and the risk would be that they would grow and rupture, and I would bleed out," the internet personality explained during the after show. "And so it was advised that I should have a surrogate."

She added, "And obviously, that's not something that I had ever thought of before or thought that I would need, but that was our path, and that was meant to be our path, and we're on it now.”

A New Mexico landlord is charged with murder after police discovered he allegedly killed and buried his tenant, who disappeared three months ago.

In late October, investigators found Robert Debeary’s body buried below a porch two feet underground outside of an Albuquerque apartment he had been renting from his landlord, Jonah Jeter, according to investigators, per KQRE. He was found buried with a mattress and bed frame.

Debeary, 52, who had survived multiple strokes and was disabled, was last seen on August 12, when security camera footage showed him leaving his apartment, according to court documents viewed by the TV station. His family members told investigators Debeary experienced issues with Jeter ahead of his disappearance.

An investigation revealed Jeter, 33, allegedly shot Debeary in the head on August 12, then concealed his body, per ABQ RAW.

Mom Arrested After Killing Son and Hiding His Body Behind Fake Wall in Her House

He’s charged with murder, three counts of tampering with evidence and aggravated burglary in connection with his death, court records show.

Before Debeary was found dead, Debeary’s family members confronted Jeter at Debeary’s apartment, where they noticed his personal belongings were missing and saw a stain on the floor that appeared to be blood, according to a criminal complaint viewed by ABQ RAW. Jeter allegedly told his family members Debeary hadn’t paid rent and was evicted.

While speaking with NBC affiliate KOB-TV, his son, Micah, recalled entering his father’s apartment amid his disappearance.

“My father is disabled. He had two strokes, and so he also had work done on his head. So he’s had brain surgery and stuff like that. So he is paralyzed on the whole left side of his body.” Micah told the TV station. “He’s been missing for so long. I already suspect that he’s dead, and so I take it upon myself to break the window, and I go into the apartment.”

Inside the apartment, Micah said he noticed his father’s phones, wallet and his bed, which was later found buried and had what Micah described as a large stain that was “very dark and muddy.”

Micah told the TV station that Jeter wasn’t “empathetic.”

“The only thing he’s worried about is this window. He’s not worried about the tenant,” Micah said. “And then he’s trying to tell us the story that, “Oh, my father been evicted. That he’s months late on his rent.”

On September 1, the Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office “urgently” called on the public to help find Debeary in a Facebook post, in which the agency shared a missing persons flyer describing Debeary as endangered.

According to court documents viewed by KRQE, Debeary’s body was found wrapped in a blanket when he was discovered buried along with his mattress.

Jeter told police he didn't bury Debeary or his mattress, after previously claiming Debeary didn’t have a bed when police found no bed during a search of his apartment, according to a criminal complaint obtained by the news outlet.

Information on Jeter’s legal representation wasn’t immediately available.

NFL quarterback Sam Hartman is trading the gridiron for rose ceremonies.

The Washington Commanders quarterback was announced as the season 30 lead of The Bachelor on November 13, 2026, during a surprise appearance on Good Morning America — walking out with a football in hand and a fresh set of nerves about dating 30 women at once.

Hartman's casting follows ABC's decision to pull Taylor Frankie Paul's season 22 of The Bachelorette days before its expected March 2026 premiere amid reports of a domestic violence incident involving her ex Dakota Mortensen. It remains unclear whether the network will release those episodes, which Paul already spoiled on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

Here's what to know about The Bachelor's newest leading man and his season of the rose-filled franchise:

Bachelor Nation Reacts to NFL Quarterback Sam Hartman Becoming ABC’s New Season 30 Lead

Who Is Sam Hartman?

Before becoming a reality TV lead, Hartman spent six years in college football, playing for the Wake Forest Demon Deacons and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. He signed with the NFL's Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2024 and even played a Thursday Night Football game the day before his GMA reveal.

Reflecting on his college years in a 2023 interview with GQ, Hartman said, "One of the things I'm proud of is my leadership ability and how I've handled different situations. As a quarterback, you're always kind of looked at as a leader, but I don't think everyone is. That takes time and experience. You learn what battles to fight."

Sam Hartman's Road to 'The Bachelor'

Hartman wasn't immediately on board to be the Bachelor, telling GMA that he hesitated before signing on to the dating franchise.

"Honestly, at first I was like, 'No way,'" Hartman said. "I got really lucky and talked to Jesse Palmer, and he kind of gave me the insight, what it is and what it's not."

Palmer, the current host of The Bachelor, previously led the show in 2004 — making Hartman the latest NFL figure to take on the title.

Sam Hartman Reveals What He's Looking For on 'The Bachelor'

Hartman told GMA he's hoping to find a partner with "competitiveness" — though not necessarily athletic — and admitted he's a fan of the chase.

"Not chase in a way that you haven't texted me back in a week, but chase in a way that they have a drive for something that motivates me to wake up every day and chase them," he explained. "Also a part of that is compassion and some type of caregiving. My whole family is in the medical field … seeing them do so much for other people, I think that's a huge part."

As for juggling 30 women at once? He's nervous. "I have a tough time having a conversation with one girl, [so] 30 is gonna be pretty tough. I'm excited but also very nervous," he joked.

Deadline broke the news on June 30, 2026, that The Bachelor had been renewed for season 30, with Scott Teti — currently the executive producer and showrunner of Bachelor in Paradise season 10 — taking over the flagship series as well.

When Does 'The Bachelor' Season 30 Premiere?

Hartman's season 30 premieres on ABC Sunday, March 21, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET.

Sarah Paulson is clearing the air on whether she’s had any work done.

“I don’t put anything in my face. I have no goo in there,” Paulson, 51, said on the Thursday, November 12, episode of the “Dear Chelsea” podcast. “Everyone thinks I have. People all over the internet think that I’ve done my lips, my forehead, everything.”

She continued, stressing, “I’ve done nothing to my face.”

Podcast host Chelsea Handler further gushed that the All’s Fair actress “doesn’t need anything” anyway.

Holland Taylor Reveals Why She and Partner Sarah Paulson Don’t Want to Act Together: ‘Weird’

“There’s going to be a big rebellion against plastic surgery,” Handler, 51, predicted. “I think so.”

Paulson, however, wasn’t convinced, noting she looks at facelifts “every day.”

Even so, Paulson has long been a proponent of aging gracefully and naturally.

“Well, since I don’t shoot anything into my face at this particular juncture, I imagine everyone knows I’m 49,” she told longtime BFF Pedro Pascal in a 2024 conversation for Interview. “If there’s anything that’s going to age me rapidly, it’s going back to the theater.”

Holland Taylor Shares Why She’ll Never Marry Sarah Paulson

She added at the time, “Sometimes I’m backstage doing this play, Appropriate, and I’m thinking, ‘Wow, I’m making these facial expressions multiple times a day all day for months on end. I’ve never had those lines in between my eyebrows.’ Well, I expect when I’m done with this play, they’ll be there permanently.”

Paulson briefly relocated to New York City to star on Broadway, eventually moving back to Los Angeles with longtime partner Holland Taylor. Speaking on Handler’s podcast, the American Horror Story star noted she wanted to move back to the Big Apple one day.

“Holland has a little place in New York, but it’s not big enough for the both of us,” she quipped. “I think her life is really here, so my life is going to be here until she decides to move to New York.”

Paulson and Taylor, 83, have been together since 2015 but don’t foresee marriage in their future.

“I’m happy that I haven’t been married because I feel that I’ve maintained some sense of myself in a way,” she said on Thursday’s episode. “For marriage to me somehow, it’s like… the bond, the connectivity I have with Holland, it feels, we talk about it all the time, I feel married to her. But I don’t have, or have never had, the need to, like, have it be something written in stone somehow. The stoneness of it makes me want to, like, it gives me the heebie-jeebies.”

She added, “I want to feel this kind of freedom. That’s not about being away from her or being with another person. It’s just about maintaining some sense of my own independence, and I think Holland feels that way too. We just have never, ever, ever felt the need to.”

Two parents in North Carolina were arrested after their 1-year-old son was critically injured in a fall from a third-story balcony.

The Wake County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Us that authorities learned of the incident when deputies received a report that a child fell from an apartment building’s third floor on Saturday, November 7.

The boy allegedly took a plunge after walking past an “unsecured patio door” while his parents, Saniyah Monchaye Person and Jawon Lee Whitley, were sleeping, according to warrants for arrest viewed by People. He “subsequently fell three stories, sustaining a fractured pelvis and a punctured lung.”

The child was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment for his life-threatening injuries. His current condition is not known.

Whitley, 28, was arrested on Saturday and has been charged with negligent child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury, according to online records. He is currently being held in custody on a $50,000 bond, and he is next scheduled to appear in court on November 30.

Meanwhile, Person, 26, was arrested three days later on Tuesday, November 10, and was charged with negligent child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury. Online court records indicate that her bond has not yet been set. Person is next scheduled to appear in court on December 3.

It’s not currently clear if Person or Whitley have entered pleas or retained legal counsel following their arrests. The Wake County Sheriff’s Office had no additional updates to share when contacted by Us for comments regarding updates in the case.

The investigation into the case remains ongoing as authorities work to determine what events may have led to the boy’s dangerous fall.

Mom Arrested for Neglect After Delaying Taking 2-Month-Old With Brain Injury, Broken Ribs to Hospital

The negligent child abuse resulting in serious bodily injury chare is considered a Class E felony in the state of North Carolina.

The punishment varies for those found guilty of the charge depending on several factors, including if the defendant has a prior criminal record and how severe those past charges are. Those found guilty of the charge are often sentenced to serve between 15 to 63 months in prison, according to the Snow Legal Group.

The Bachelor season 30 lead Sam Hartman has a supportive family by his side.

Sam — a quarterback for the Washington Commanders — was born in July 1999 in Charlotte, North Carolina, to parents Lisa and Mark Hartman. The couple also share an older son named Joe.

In 2015, the family experienced tragedy when Sam and Joe’s adopted brother, Demitri Allison, died by suicide at age 21. Sam has been open about his grief over the years and often pays tribute to Demitri via social media.

Lisa Hartman

Sam’s mother is a retired nurse in North Carolina. She is also a vocal advocate for mental health.

Lisa has stood by her youngest son’s side throughout his career highs and lows, including multiple injuries.

“She's been the one who's there when I was in the hospital when I was 17, when I'm in the hospital again when I'm 23,” Sam told ESPN in 2023. “Those are tough moments where you're seeing your mom sleep on either a chair sitting upright, or sleeping on a small couch. I'm important to her, and I felt that the whole time."

Lisa also opened up to the outlet about her love for her sons, saying, “My boys, they’re my life. I would do anything for ‘em.”

Mark Hartman

Sam’s father also works in the medical field. After spending nearly three decades as an orthopedic surgeon in Charlotte, Mark and his family relocated to Charleston, South Carolina, to work for the Southeastern Spine Institute, where he focuses on minimally invasive forms of surgery.

Mark is also a high school football coach in Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina.

In 2021, Sam opened up to The Athletic about how his father helped shape his determination.

“My dad is a surgeon. So you’ve got to be perfect,” he told the outlet. “He works on spines, so you’ve got to be more perfect.”

Mark has also voiced support for his son’s football career.

“He's been very blessed to be in the right place at the right time with really good people,” he said in 2018. “I will say that every time he's been in that position, he's fought hard and set himself up for success. That's the proudest thing [about him] I've been.”

Joe Hartman

Sam’s older brother was born in 1994. Following in his parents’ footsteps, Joe attended medical school at the University of Florida and pursued a career in medicine. He is currently enrolled in a medical residency at Vanderbilt University.

Demitri Allison

Demitri joined the Hartman family when he was 15 years old and went on to play football at Elon University. He grew very close to Sam, who was deeply affected by Demitri’s death. Sam honored his late brother by wearing “D.A.” on a wristband and sporting No. 10, which was Demitri’s jersey number.

“Four years ago today, my family and the world lost an incredible human named Demitri Allison,” Sam wrote via Instagram in 2019. “His smile could fill the darkest room with light. He never complained. His unwavering ability to persistently strive for change rubbed off on my family and changed our lives forever. Continue watching over me big bro; I miss you every day. I hope I am making you proud.”

A Florida man was arrested after he allegedly left a baby in a car for two hours while he gambled inside of a casino.

Gregory Foster has been charged with child neglect following the incident, which took place on Wednesday, November 11, according to Broward County court records viewed by Us.

Foster, 28, was taken into custody at the Broward County Sheriff's Office's main jail on $2,500 bond.

Authorities learned of the incident when a Seminole Police Department officer was called to the Seminole Classic Casino in Hollywood, Florida, on Wednesday around 11 a.m., according to an arrest report viewed by Law & Crime. Upon their arrival, the security personnel at the casino directed the officer to a black BMW in the parking lot.

Dad Arrested After Letting Son, 4, Wander Around Busy Road Because It’s ‘Hard to Keep Him in Sight’

The officer noted that the vehicle did not have a driver inside, but they did find that a baby had been "left in the car.” The child was found in a car seat in the middle of the back seat, and the officer noted that the child was not safely buckled in.

The security personnel said that the BMW had been there for "over an hour” by the time the police officer arrived.

Once the officer determined that the child was not moving, they forced their way inside and found that the child "appeared to be sleeping."

Security at the casino was able to determine that Foster owned the vehicle, and they got in touch with him to discuss the incident. Authorities said that Foster was later found inside the casino "playing at a table."

While speaking to authorities, Foster reportedly explained that he "only left the infant in the car for 45 minutes.” However, his statement was debunked when security staff said he had been gambling inside of the casino for about two hours.

Foster was then arrested at the scene and taken into custody.

The court document did not identify how Foster and the child are related, and the child’s age has also not yet been revealed. It is not currently clear who has custody of the child after Foster was arrested or if the baby suffered any health problems as a result of being left in the car.

It’s not known whether Foster has entered a plea or retained legal counsel following his arrest. The Seminole Police Department did not immediately respond to Us’ request for comment regarding updates in the case.

Fans were pleasantly surprised to wake up on Friday, November 13, and learn that NFL quarterback Sam Hartman would be the new Bachelor when the reality show returns in 2027.

“Biblically accurate Cassian,” Rachel Recchia commented on Bachelor Nation’s post.

A babysitter had been watching a Florida woman’s two children when the mother’s 3-year-old daughter started crying and said, “Mama cut papa,” court documents state.

The girl’s statement came the same day Orlando police discovered a man’s body in a trash bag between a dumpster and a trash compactor at the Pacifico Apartments in the city on Tuesday, November 9, according to court documents.

The child’s mother, Isidra Bautista Hernandez, is accused of killing her boyfriend inside their shared apartment at the complex two days earlier, on Saturday, November 7, and disposing of his body.

Hernandez, 36, was arrested on a second-degree murder charge in connection with the man’s death on Wednesday, November 11, Us previously reported.

Woman Killed Sleeping Boyfriend and Dismembered Body Before Burying Remains in Their Yard

An arrest affidavit obtained by Us reveals more details about the man’s killing, identifying him as Eugenio Martinez.

On Monday, two maintenance workers initially found a heavy black garbage bag “covered in flies” with what they suspected were human remains inside near the dumpster area of the Pacifico Apartments, resulting in a 911 call, according to the affidavit.

Orlando police arrived and initially saw a man’s arm, which was wrapped in a blue sheet, inside the bag, the affidavit states.

The man identified as Martinez, 32, “was tied with an orange extension cord and wrapped in 3 black trash bags and a dark blue laundry bag,” an officer wrote in the affidavit.

An autopsy revealed he had “laceration to his neck as well as puncture wounds on his left side, lacerations on his left palm, and lacerations on the left side of his face,” the affidavit states.

Detectives searched the trash compactor that was near Martinez’s body and found several items with suspected blood, including a black sandal, a piece of mail, a broken knife, towels and blankets, according to police.

The investigation led officers to execute a search warrant at Hernandez’s apartment, where suspected blood was found throughout the residence, which appeared to have been recently cleaned, the affidavit states.

While there, a 21-year-old woman approached detectives and revealed her mother had been babysitting Hernandez’s two children — a 3-year-old daughter and a 1-year-old son — since Saturday, when the alleged killing occurred.

She said on Monday, the girl cried out saying, “‘Mama cut papa’ and made hand gestures mimicking a slicing motion along her arms, stomach, and neck,” the affidavit states.

Hernandez’s daughter also mentioned “blood” and “trash” to the babysitter, according to the filing.

Hernandez, who had bruising on her arm, was detained and told officers she had been involved in a physical altercation with Martinez, whom she described as her husband but noted they’re not legally married, on Saturday, the affidavit states. She accused him of choking her while holding a long knife.

At some point, she said she took the knife from him and demonstrated a “slashing motion,” according to the filing.

“Hernandez advised that she did not contact law enforcement due to fear; however, she later placed two calls to 911 in hopes that someone would find the decedent at the dumpster,” the affidavit states.

She allegedly also admitted to placing Martinez’s body in trash bags and leaving it near the dumpster.

“Statements made by the couple's young child referencing her mother cutting someone, along with the subsequent bruising on Hernandez's arm, provide additional context surrounding the events preceding the decedent's death,” the officer wrote in the affidavit.

Hernandez’s public defender didn’t immediately return a request for comment from Us on Friday, November 13.

Hernandez is due in court for a hearing set for November 17, records show.

Sam Hartman proved he has a way with the ladies well before he was announced as the latest Bachelor. 

Hartman, 27, went viral in a TikTok posted from Washington Commanders training camp in August 2025, while the quarterback was signing autographs for a group of fans. 

“Sam, would you mind saying hi to my mom, Susan?” one female fan asked him. “She thinks you’re super hot.”

Hartman smiled and looked directly into the camera, not missing a beat.

“Susan, shoot. I don’t discriminate from age,” he said. “I appreciate your support.”

The fan who posted the video, Stephanie Shepard, called herself the “daughter of the year” for getting the sweet message from the quarterback. 

Following a collegiate career at Wake Forest and Notre Dame, Hartman went undrafted in the 2024 NFL Draft, eventually signing with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent. 

Hartman has bounced around from the practice squad to the active roster since, but has yet to see action in an NFL regular season game. He remains an active member of the Commanders’ practice quad. 

The quarterback was announced as the lead of season 30 of The Bachelor on Friday, November 13. 

“Honestly, at first I was like, ‘No way,'” Hartman said Friday on Good Morning America. “I got really lucky and talked to [host] Jesse Palmer and he kind of gave me the insight, what it is and what it’s not.”

Palmer, a former NFL quarterback himself, was the lead on season 5 of The Bachelor in 2004 before taking over hosting duties in 2022. 

“When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met; they just ask if you wanna do it forever,” Hartman explained. “I don’t see any problem with that.”

As he prepares to hand out roses to a group of potential suitors, Hartman admitted he’s “very nervous.”

“I have a tough time having a conversation with one girl, [so] 30 is gonna be pretty tough,” he said.

Hartman appeared on Good Morning America just hours after the Commanders defeated the New York Giants on Thursday, November 12. 

“My teammates were there giving me advice on the plane ride back,” he said. “Probably not going to listen to anybody on that.”

When asked about the “worst advice” one of his teammates gave him about his upcoming experience, Hartman joked, “I can’t say that out loud on national television.”

Season 30 of The Bachelor premieres on ABC March 21, 2027, at 8 p.m. ET. 

NFL quarterback Sam Hartman is in search of The One on The Bachelor.

“I think anybody in their right mind, if you get told, ‘Hey, you got a chance to go find the love of your life,’ [would say yes],” he said on Good Morning America in November 2026 of joining the storied reality TV franchise. “I know one thing: When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met; they just ask if you wanna do it forever. I don’t see any problem with that.”

Hartman further revealed he nearly turned down the Bachelor mantle before a conversation with host Jesse Palmer changed his tune. (Palmer, a former NFL star himself, was the Bachelor in 2004 before taking over hosting duties in 2022.)

“I have a tough time having a conversation with one girl, [so] 30 is gonna be pretty tough. I’m excited but also very nervous,” the Washington Commanders quarterback admitted.

Who Is NFL Quarterback Sam Hartman? What to Know About the Season 30 ‘Bachelor’ Lead

Keep scrolling to learn about Hartman’s past dating history before handing out roses:

Tyla Ochoa

Hartman confirmed on a 2024 episode of the “Unemployable” podcast that he had a girlfriend he met while at Wake Forest University. (Hartman played football for the North Carolina college before transferring to Notre Dame ahead of his NFL tenure.)

“I am not [single],” he stated at the time. “I have a girlfriend. She plays soccer at Wake Forest, and she's awesome. She's great. She'll be down here for the draft. This is her last year. She's got one more season left because she had a redshirt.”

Hartman never publicly addressed Ochoa by name. Since graduating from Wake Forest in 2024, Ochoa has stayed local in Charlotte. Per LinkedIn, she now serves as a senior business operations manager at DFND Security Inc.

Hartman and Ochoa reportedly went their separate ways in 2025, two years before his Bachelor debut.

What Is Sam Hartman Looking for in a Partner?

While discussing his Bachelor debut in November 2026, Hartman said he hoped to find a woman with a certain level of “competitiveness.”

“[I hope] they have a drive for something that motivates me to wake up every day and chase them,” Hartman said on GMA. “Also a part of that is compassion and some type of caregiving. My whole family is in the medicine field … seeing them do so much for other people, I think that’s a huge part.”

As for whether Hartman’s Bachelorettes will suit up on the gridiron, he teased, “They’re going to get tested for sure.”

“I think we got some really cool stuff planned,” he hinted. “They’ve got to be ready to bring their competitive spirit.”

Janelle James is showing Abbott Elementary fans a different side of her comedic chops with her new Netflix special.

“This is also what the challenge of this special is as well. These are people who are coming to see the character on Abbott Elementary, and I am truly just trying to introduce myself as myself, so some people will probably be shocked because they won't do any investigation into my stand-up career. But that also, again, is not my problem. I'm just for my people,” James, 47, exclusively told Us about Janelle James: How Romantic, which made its streaming debut on Tuesday, November 10.

The Emmy-nominated actress has been doing stand-up for over a decade, and no topic is off-limits.

“I've been pretty brave since I've started. I've always wanted to do taboo subjects. That's what my mind is. I just have a dark sense of humor. I think about melancholy things. I'm a classic, sad clown. I'm thinking about sad things all the time,” she said.

James admitted that her performance, however, is “different” than when she first started in comedy.

“I think I'm more joyous in my performance now than I used to be. I'm less sad, or at least outwardly, and I'm just a more confident performer now,” she shared.

In her first-ever hour-long Netflix special, James cleverly tackles hot-button topics like body counts, bank accounts and why women should wrestle men. Her unfiltered jokes come from a woman’s point of view, and she’s ready for any male critics who might take issue.

“In this day and age, there's always concerns, but you can't really let them stop you from moving. So obviously, if I was so concerned, I just would not do such a female-friendly set. People are going to have things to say, regardless. I have to not ready myself for that, but just be aware of that,” James explained.
The comedian said she’s “proud” and “confident” about the special.

“[I] can't please everybody. And I feel like any men who would have bad feedback, they just don't get it,” she told Us.

Sheryl Lee Ralph Wanted to Play Ava on ‘Abbott Elementary,’ But Quinta Brunson Needed a ‘Queen’ for Barbara

After 15 years in comedy, James knows her worth — and shared that earning the respect of her male peers has been just as meaningful as her success on Abbott Elementary.

“I know that I'm funny. I know I have the respect of my peers. That's really hard. My peers are men. I have male respect in the comedy space. That's a big deal. … then there's all this work on Abbott and doing well at that, and just really being ready to do stand-up again. I really just had the urge,” she said.

James began her comedy career in 2009 and landed the opening act of Chris Rock's 2017 Total Blackout tour. She then started writing and voice acting for comedy shows like Central Park before appearing as a featured comic on Netflix's The Standups in 2021.

James gained worldwide fame for her role as the quick-witted principal in ABC’s Abbott Elementary alongside Quinta Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Lisa Ann Walter and Sheryl Lee Ralph.

The comedy debuted in 2021 and is currently airing season 6. Over its nearly 5-year run, Abbott Elementary has won 4 Emmys and earned 37 nominations.

Authorities revealed that the gunman who killed one person and injured four others in a mass shooting near a gym in Washington, D.C., has been identified as Dr. Matt Lambert.

The incident took place on the morning of Thursday, November 12, when Lambert, 55, shot five people in the city’s Logan Circle neighborhood. The shootings began at the VIDA gym, and Lambert later fled to an apartment building located above the gym.

Metropolitan Police Interim Chief Jeffery Carroll said during a press conference on Thursday that Lambert barricaded himself inside an apartment on the seventh floor of the building before he died by suicide.

Carroll explained that Lambert had been involved in a dispute with his homeowner’s association at the time of the mass shooting.

President Donald Trump Is Safe After White House Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting: What We Know

Lambert — who was a licensed emergency medicine doctor and recently worked as a healthcare consultant — had previously filed a lawsuit against the condominium association, according to NBC Washington.

He reportedly claimed in the lawsuit that his apartment had mold and moisture issues after a contractor worked on the building.

The building manager, James Stuart, was killed in the shootings. One other person was critically injured, while three people suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

“We do know that the victim that was killed inside the VIDA was the building manager for that location. So, we do know that there has been an ongoing dispute between the suspect in this case and the building, condo, homeowners association, management regarding maintenance issues — mold and the like — that there was a civil case that he filed against them. So, we believe that it’s related to that," Carroll said.

Lambert purchased the 1,200-square-foot penthouse in the building for $1.095 million in 2016. Five years later, he tried to sell the home for $1.275 million, according to online listings.

Joel Braithwaite, Lambert’s attorney, weighed in on the tragedy, saying, “I don’t want the story to be that litigation led to this result. Litigation is supposed to prevent these results by having people litigate in court and not have that spill into the streets.”

Lambert filed the lawsuit in 2025, claiming that he began to notice mold, moisture and water problems in the apartment in 2024. He alleged that the damage cost him over $100,000, and he sued for negligence, breach of fiduciary duty and nuisance. Additionally, Lambert asked for a jury trial.

The litigation was ongoing, and a mediation was scheduled to take place in March 2027.

Braithwaite explained that Lambert had several residences, though his D.C. apartment was his "prized possession."

“One of the issues for us was that Matt was treated differently than a lot of other people in the units, and that was the source of some consternation for us … and that’s what resulted in litigation, because to his mind, only his complaints were not heard and addressed by the condo association,” Braithwaite said.

Braithwaite added that he was surprised by the shooting and noted that Lambert had been in "great spirits" prior to the tragedy.

Grimes and producer Elijah Weinkauf have “been together for some time” before their red carpet debut, a source exclusively tells Us.

Grimes, 38, and Weinkauf, 26, attended the premiere of Blade Runner 2099 together on Thursday, November 12, holding hands as they posed for photos.

Neither Grimes nor Weinkauf had previously confirmed their relationship status, but the source tells Us the duo had DJed together “in public.”

“Elijah is very shy though, so they've kept it private,” the insider says. “But you can only keep such a happy romance a secret for so long. Some of the people backstage at her recent show at Singers [in Brooklyn] started to ask questions if they were together.”

Everything Grimes Has Said About Raising Kids With Elon Musk

Per the source, Weinkauf is “super supportive” of Grimes' career, and they often “stay up late” talking about music history, AI safety, technology regulations, anime and politics.

“He's only into art — he's not political at all,” the source tells Us. “He's helped Grimes return to form with her art. After all the drama of [the] past few years, she had gone into her shell. He's helped bring her out of that.”

Grimes was in a relationship with Elon Musk from 2018 to 2022, and the exes have since gone back and forth about coparenting arrangements for their three children. (Musk, 55, also has 11 other kids from various relationships.)

“I, unfortunately, do not control the internet and cannot wipe this from the internet. I have tried begging the public and my kids’ dad to keep them offline,” she tweeted in March 2025, claiming she urged Musk not to show their kids’ faces publicly. “The state of my children’s lives being public is of grave concern to me and I think about how to solve this every day. It’s insane to me that there’s no way to deal with this.”

She added at the time, “I would hope there was some law that would allow a parent to veto small children from living public lives, but I don’t even trust the law to help me now if I tried to invoke it tbh. We are in the Wild West of information content and the dismantling of privacy and it’s very concerning.”

Musk did not immediately address Grimes’ accusations. She has since remained focused on balancing her family with her career. According to the insider, Weinkauf produced Grimes’ new album, Psyopera, under the name VADAKIN.

“The new album is one of her best ever,” the source says.

Bobbi Althoff is quickly learning that reality TV doesn’t share everything about a person’s reality.

“I will say it's really interesting what gets cut and what gets put in it because I feel like there's so much that got cut out of even my childhood,” Bobbi, 29, exclusively shared with Us while celebrating the Thursday, November 12, season 1 premiere of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County. “I was like, ‘You guys had me in those confessionals crying for hours for no reason because all of it just gets cut.’”

As the host of “The Really Good Podcast,” Bobbi may be used to going in depth on various topics and having more control of the finished product.

With reality TV, however, it’s a little different.

“I made my dad seem so bad in [the show], and I'm like, my dad is really an amazing person. I'm so close to him,” she told Us. “But I am sad that more didn't make it in of just why I am the way I am because I don't feel like it fully made sense.”

The influencer, however, is comforted in knowing her cast members “understand me even more than the show will help you understand me.”

“I kind of feel like in the show, I was kind of an extra,” she admitted. “I didn’t watch it back and go, ‘Oh, you really get to know me,’ but it was fun, and I had fun with it. And if we get a season 2, I'm very excited to hopefully have people understand me better. But I'm not even sure I understand myself.”

During season 1 of Hulu’s new reality show, fans get a closer look into Bobbi’s life after divorcing from tech executive Cory Althoff in 2024. The mother of two showcases her signature deadpan humor while trading the podcast studio for reality TV.

Although she never watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives before becoming a member of the spinoff cast, Bobbi had one goal when she signed up. Unlike her Utah counterparts, the California resident wanted to avoid any feuds on social media.

“The thing that I saw take place on that show that I think was really important for me to not do was just make videos about each other online,” she said. “I just think that impacts their mental health a lot, and it was negative. So I think that’s something we all agreed to early on.”

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County is streaming now on Hulu.

University of Louisiana at Lafayette linebacker Ashley Williams was carted off the field after a scary hit in a game against the University of Louisiana at Monroe on Thursday, November 12. 

During the second quarter, Williams laid motionless on the field at UL Monroe’s St. Francis Stadium after attempting a tackle and colliding with teammate Brent Gordon Jr. 

Williams was placed on a backboard and in a neck brace as he made his way to a waiting ambulance. Players from both teams took knees on the field, with many of them gathering to pray. 

While he was being carted off, Williams managed to hold up a “UL” hand gesture for fans. He was taken to nearby St. Francis Medical Center, roughly a 10 minute drive from the stadium.

According to the ESPN2 broadcast, Williams was alert, moving his extremities, answering questions and watching the game from his hospital room. The Louisiana Ragin’ Cajuns went on to defeat UL Monroe 42-21, improving to 7-3 on the season. 

Williams took to social media on Friday, November 13, reposting well-wishes via his Instagram Story. 

Ragin’ Cajuns head coach Michael Desormeaux addressed the injury after the game.

“That's like the worst, man." Desormeaux said. "You know, when you get out there and a player's completely unconscious and your mind just goes to the worst things possible."

The coach added, "By the time Ashley left, he was conscious. He was talking, he was moving. I think it was just out of a lot of precaution. I think anytime something like that happens where it's a head shot and they're unconscious, I think it's the right way to do it. You know, make sure that you do it out of abundance of caution."

A redshirt junior from Zachary, Louisiana, Williams has started every game for the Cajuns this season. Going into the game, he had earned 21 total tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks and two quarterback hurries.

In the wake of Williams’ injury, many Ragin’ Cajuns fans expressed their concerns on social media. 

“Prayers up for Ashley Williams,” one supporter wrote via X. “As passionate as we get about performance, what a quick but sickening reminder that it really doesn’t mean much in the big scheme of things.”

Another wrote, “Goodness. I absolutely hate when a player has to be carted off the field. Prayers up for Ashley Williams of Louisiana Ragin Cajuns. 🙏 🏈.”

The Cajuns return to action when they host Coastal Carolina on Saturday, November 21. Williams’ potential availability for that game has not been announced. 

Former child star Christian Cousins has died. He was 43.

“RIP: My Dear Brother. … It’s hard to share that my brother, Christian Cousins, has passed away,” Cousins’ brother Jonas Roeser recently wrote via Instagram. “Christian and his twin brother, Joseph ‘Joey’ Cousins, are my brothers through my biological father.”

Roeser confirmed that Christian “had been very sick with liver disease,” though an official cause of death has not been publicly revealed.

“It brings me comfort to believe he is now in heaven with his mother, free from the pain he was carrying. Rest easy, Christian,” Roeser added. “I hope your soul is at rest and that you’ve found peace. You are my brother and you will be missed.”

Christian, best known for his childhood roles in Kindergarten Cop and Knots Landing, met Roeser later in life.

“[Christian and Joey] grew up in California while I was in Washington and I didn’t get to know them until I was in college,” Roeser acknowledged. “Before that, I grew up watching them on television in Knots Landing and the lead role of Dominic in Kindergarten Cop with Arnold Schwarzenegger.”

He continued, “Those roles are only a small part of how I’ll remember Christian. He was a character, full of passion and energy, with big stories and even bigger dreams.”

Christian’s Kindergarten Cop costars Tiffany and Krystle Mataras offered their condolences in the comments section of Roeser’s tribute.

“We had NO idea. Someone literally just told us,” the Mataras twins commented via their joint profile. “We're so sorry. We have such fond memories with Chris and Joe and our family.”

Christian, who retired from acting in the ‘90s, last publicly reunited with the Kindergarten Cop cast in 2020.

"They knew that there was going to be a lot of limitations because of how many kids were involved in the movie and because of child labor rights and whatnot because you can only work so many hours,” he recalled to Yahoo Entertainment of being cast alongside his brother. “We were a younger crowd that in order to get filming done in anything less than eons for the screen time that was required for the Dominic character, they were likely going to need twins.”

At the time, Christian wasn’t aware of the movie magic in the making.

“I didn’t even know the significance of the role when I got it,” he noted. “I remember distinctly a kid that I’d seen in audition rooms a number of times in L.A. at that age literally stands up in the middle of it and interrupts Ivan and Arnold from talking and whatnot and says, ‘Has the role of Dominic already been cast?’ Like, that was a thing.” 

Sam Hartman is trading footballs for roses as the star of The Bachelor season 30.

“Honestly, at first I was like, ‘No way,'” Hartman said on Good Morning America in November 2026 when he was announced as the show’s new lead. “I got really lucky and talked to Jesse Palmer and he kind of gave me the insight, what it is and what it’s not.”

Hartman isn’t the first NFL star to tackle the Bachelor mantle. Palmer, for his part, previously led the show in 2004 before eventually becoming the host years later.

After speaking with Palmer, Hartman was ready to give the hit reality TV dating show a chance.

“When people are saying ‘I do,’ they don’t ask where you met, they just ask if you wanna do it forever,” he noted. “I don’t see any problem with that.”

Sam Hartman Is an NFL Quarterback

After playing college football, Hartman signed with the Washington Commanders as an undrafted free agent in 2024. In fact, Hartman played a Thursday Night Football game the day before his GMA announcement.

Sam Hartman Played College Football for 6 Years

Hartman played at Wake Forest and Notre Dame before joining the NFL.

“One of the things I’m proud of is my leadership ability and how I’ve handled different situations,” he told GQ in 2023 of transferring to Notre Dame. “As a quarterback, you’re always kind of looked at as a leader, but I don’t think everyone is. That takes time and experience. You learn what battles to fight.”

He added at the time, “I think the relationships I’ve been able to build from being around so many different people — being on six different college football teams! — that’s every dynamic and every type of person you can imagine. That’s shaped who I am and what I value as a person.”

Sam Hartman Has a Close-Knit Family

Sam is the son of Mark and Lisa Hartman, who have endorsed his reality TV endeavor.

“My mom and I have a really cool relationship, my pops is just supportive,” he said on GMA. “Their big thing is just being myself and enjoy the experience. Trust your instincts and trust your gut.”

Mark and Lisa also are parents of son Joe Hartman and adopted son Demitri Allison. (Demitri, who moved in with the Hartmans at age 15, died by suicide in 2015. Sam now honors his memory by adding the initials “D.A.” to his jersey.)

What Type of Partner Is Sam Hartman Looking For?

While appearing on GMA in November 2026, Sam hinted that he is seeking a significant other who possesses “competitiveness” — but not necessarily in terms of athletics — and he’s a fan of the chase.

“Not chase in a way that you haven’t texted me back in a week, but chase in a way that they have a drive for something that motivates me to wake up every day and chase them,” he explained. “Also a part of that is compassion and some type of caregiving. My whole family is in the medical field … seeing them do so much for other people, I think that’s a huge part.”

The Bachelor season 30 premieres on ABC Sunday, March 21, 2027 at 8 p.m. ET.

Before she filed for divorce, Jen Affleck revealed on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County just how bad things have been between her and Zac Affleck.

The former couple's marriage issues were front and center when The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives premiered in 2024. After a brief offscreen separation, they got back together before Jen, 27, gave birth to their third child in July 2025.

By the time season 5 premiered in September, Jen and Zac, 30, were once again facing challenges. She admitted to questioning their future before announcing her pregnancy with baby No. 4, which was explored further on Hulu's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County spinoff.

A week before the premiere in November, news broke that Jen officially filed for divorce from Zac after seven years of marriage.

"The same reason why I filed for divorce is the same reason why it was really hard," Jen exclusively told Us at the time. "It was this fourth child. I had to ask myself very hard questions like, 'Is this the type of relationship I want this child to look up to?' When I realized it was a no, that's when I realized that I needed to make a change. You'll see a lot of that unfold in season [1 of the spinoff]."

Making a Decision

Jen's first confessional in the Mormon Wives spinoff addressed her ongoing challenges with Zac, saying, "A lot of things have happened the past couple of months that have made me realize that something needs to change. I have hit my breaking point and I've decided that I want to move forward with a divorce."

Jen acknowledged that Zac didn't know the severity of the situation.

"That's part of the reason why I moved. It is because I don't want anyone to know that this is what I've been feeling and experiencing," she continued.

A Challenging Choice

Jen admitted to the cameras that she was jealous of Aspyn Ovard's ability to find love after her divorce from Parker Ferris, saying, "Seeing what Aspen's gone through in the past couple of years, there's a lot of resemblance with what I'm going through right now. It also just makes me emotional that she's gotten so much hate for her being in a throuple. She's gotten everything she's wanted out of it: love, emotional support, partnership. And I desperately want everything that she has."

The reality star admitted she was also jealous of former costar Whitney Leavitt's relationship with husband Conner Leavitt.

"There's nothing I can say to justify how I acted during mine and Whitney's friendship. But what I can say is that it did stem from being envious of her and Conner's relationship because I really feel like they were such a good example for myself and the relationship that I was wanting and seeking for with Zac," she told the cameras after reuniting with Whitney."

While Jen wanted to officially file for divorce, her being pregnant with baby No. 4 complicated things.

"I just feel so much guilt and shame that I let this happen again. I thought moving to California, it could be a chance for Zac and I to really have a fresh start but it's only caused more issues," she explained. "When I got pregnant with Penny, I was definitely questioning my marriage with Zac but I think having Penny convinced me that it was worth trying again. But that's not happening this time."

Trying to Get Support From Her Family

Later in the season, Jen confided in her loved ones about the issues in her relationship, saying, "I am gonna move forward with us doing a divorce. For me, I've been miserable most of our marriage. In fact, I want to say I've been miserable our whole marriage and that's just the truth."

Jen, who didn't receive support from her family, noted that Zac "hasn't changed a lot of his behavior."

"I'm not surprised with their reaction just because they are members of the church. They have the perspective of anyone can figure it out. But I don't think they understand that the situation is a lot different and that I've given Zac way too many chances," she explained in a confessional. "I'm just feeling ashamed now for myself."

Financial Issues

After hinting at Zac's past issues with debt, Jen revealed how much of their money Zac lost, saying, "I went to check our bank and the money is gone. There was over $100,000 in there. He's done this before multiple times — whether it was through online poker or it was through investing crypto. I said, 'You're not allowed to do that anymore.' Because he's done this multiple times. I can't tell you how many times we've gone through this in our marriage. Whether it was poker or sports betting, now I'm seeing that he invested a ton of money in Bitcoin without telling me and lost it."

Jen stayed with Bobbi Althoff after realizing what Zac had done. (Zac, for his part, didn't appear in any episodes of the spinoff.)

Dating Again

Jen was asked whether she would "keep the law of chastity" after getting divorced, to which she replied, "I'm still pregnant, OK? I support sleep culture, if that's what you wanna do. Go have fun. I probably wouldn't be physical unless I actually knew that ... I'm not gonna give that part of myself to another man until I'm really ready."

Seeking Legal Counsel

The show followed Jen to an appointment with a divorce attorney, where she questioned whether she would be "able to handle life without Zac."

"There's a lot of fear but you should never base a decision off of fear," she said. "So I'm doing everything that I can to remove the fear but I can't help but be drowning in it right now."

Despite taking another step toward divorce, Jen admitted she "had sex" with Zac again. "It was awesome," she said.

John Travolta is opening up about raising his children with late wife Kelly Preston.

"My children are ... it's hard to find the words," Travolta, 72, said in a recent interview with Extra. "But you know, every parent dreams that they'd have these ideal children and they live up and beyond it."

The actor continued, "I can leave this lifetime knowing I've done well, and Kelly knowing that she did well. I really can say that. I'm very proud of them."

Travolta and Preston tied the knot in 1991 after meeting on the set of their movie The Experts. The couple welcomed daughter Ella in 2000 and sons Jett and Beau in 1992 and 2010, respectively. (Jett died at age 16 in 2009 after suffering a seizure on vacation in the Bahamas.)

Preston died in 2020 after a two-year battle with breast cancer. She was 57.

"Choosing to keep her fight private, she had been undergoing medical treatment for some time, supported by her closest family and friends," a rep for the family said at the time. "She was a bright, beautiful and loving soul who cared deeply about others and who brought life to everything she touched. Her family asks for your understanding of their need for privacy at this time."

Travolta has since been candid about navigating the family's loss while staying strong for his kids. He recently shared the screen with daughter Ella, 26, in Propeller One-Way Night Coach, which he dedicated to Preston, Jett and other family members.

"I'm not made to remain absorbed in the darkness," Travolta told Italian newspaper La Repubblica in June, admitting "life has certainly tested me" over the years. "I can look at the darkness, but I don't choose to die in that darkness."

The Grease star said it's his "nature is to look for the positive, even in the face of the worst."

Ella, meanwhile, opened up about following in her parents' footsteps while celebrating the film's premiere in May.

"[My dad] and my mom were always supportive of whatever I wanted to do. So even if I decided to do something else in the end, they would have been supportive of that too," she told People at the time. "But I think that they were happy because they enjoy this job so much, and I have an equal love for it. So I think that they were just happy that I enjoyed doing something that much."
