‘Cheers’ star Kelsey Grammer reveals where Ted Danson falling-out came from after 30 years

2 February 2025 at 18:16

Kelsey Grammer is clarifying his former falling-out with his "Cheers" co-star Ted Danson.

Last October, Grammer and Ted Danson reflected on their distance over the past 30 years and made amends.

In a recent interview with The New York Post, Grammer is sharing the reason he thinks it all started.

"It got a little blown out of proportion. There really wasn’t an argument. It was at a time in my life when I was actually going through a lot of self-doubt, self-loathing, honestly," he told the outlet.

TED DANSON THROWS MORE COLD WATER ON HOPES FOR 'CHEERS' REUNION: 'I THINK IT'D BE A LITTLE SAD'

Grammer continued, explaining it had to do with their work on "Cheers."

"It was when I was drinking a lot. Ted had just come up and said, ‘You know, I’m kind of mad at you that sometimes you don’t show up ready to go.’ And I said, ‘OK, I respect that.’ And that actually was sort of it," the 69-year-old said.

The "Frasier" star speculated, "Now, maybe what happened for Ted was he stepped away from what might have been a better friendship. Maybe he just had to protect himself. I don’t really know. But, I said, ‘Thanks.’ We were fine with that."

On the "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast co-hosted by Danson and fellow "Cheers" alum Woody Harrelson, the pair seemed to make peace with each other over the past.

Danson told Grammer, "This isn’t self-deprecating, but it’s — I feel like I got stuck a little bit with you during the ‘Cheers’ years. I have a memory of getting angry at you once."

Grammer agreed, saying, "Yeah, you came and told me that one day."

"And it’s stuck in both of our memories," Danson added. "But I feel like, f---, I don’t know. I missed out on the last 30 years of Kelsey Grammer. … I feel like it’s my bad, my doing.

"I apologize to you. And [to] me that I sat back. … I really do apologize."

Grammer accepted Danson’s apologies, and they, along with Harrelson, fondly recalled a conversation from their friendship.

"You said something wonderful to me though, too, that I’ve always, I quote to other people," Grammer remarked. 

"When I turned 40, you came up and you said, ‘You know what it means, don’t you? Now that you’re 40, it means you’re finally worth having a conversation with.’"

Harrelson joined in on the laugh and chimed in, "That’s good."

"That was f---ing brilliant. I always loved that. And I’ve repeated it. And my love for you has always been as easy as the day. You know, as easy as the sunrise," Grammer said as he grinned ear to ear.

Martha Stewart wows fans in racy, 'unhinged' new video

2 February 2025 at 10:19

Martha Stewart drove fans wild on social media with what they are calling a "saucy" and "unhinged" new video, featuring a succulent strawberry and a spool of fresh honey.

In the video, Stewart shows off a variety of products from Mac Cosmetics, though most of her followers were focused more on her delivery than the advertisement.

The comment section on the post was filled with fans marveling at Stewart, who amplified the sexiness by speaking softly.

MARTHA STEWART SHOWS OFF SKIN IN CLOSE-UP SELFIES WITH 'ABSOLUTELY NO RE-IMAGING,' GETS RIPPED BY FANS

"What gets me in the nude," she asked. "How about a strawberry, fresh picked from the garden? Best in the hot sun," she said, biting into the juicy fruit. "Honey," she said, eating the sticky goo from a spool. "Makes a mess." 

"Ok saucy Martha!!!" one fan wrote. Another commented, "Martha is unhinged these days."

One of Stewart's followers joked, "Its like an intro to her OF [OnlyFans]."

"Martha Stewart being dirty wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card," another comment read.

One person called her a "naughty girl," while another dubbed her "the hottest woman on the internet."

A resounding sentiment expressed by fans was that the 83-year-old businesswoman was an "icon" and inspiration. "When I grow up I want to be like Martha," one user wrote on Instagram. "An icon," another put simply.

Posting suggestive content is not new for Stewart, who has embraced her sexuality in recent years, even appearing on the cover of Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit issue in 2023 and reveling in her status as a "sex symbol."

"It's a good example for others, actually," she told InStyle, of being revered at an older age. "I'm a teacher. I'm trying to teach others that you can look great. There's no reason to slump around."

In a separate interview with AARP, Stewart commented on aging in general, saying it wasn't something she thought about. "How old I am, slowing down, retiring – I just don't dwell on that," she explained.

"People talk about aging successfully, but I think of it as living gracefully and living to the absolute fullest," she explained. "I’m about trying new things and learning new things every single day. Staying fresh, being interesting and interested. Staying curious, staying busy, developing new friendships."

Dick Van Dyke admits beloved sitcom was nearly canceled after first season: How the show was saved

2 February 2025 at 08:00

Dick Van Dyke recently admitted that his beloved sitcom had a rough start.

When asked how "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was created, the 99-year-old actor shared that he nearly lost his famous show after facing tough competition from another Hollywood star. 

"I was doing ‘Bye, Bye Birdie’ for a year, and the pilot came up . . . my agent told me it was between me and Johnny Carson," he shared on Ted Danson’s "Where Everybody Knows Your Name" podcast. 

MALIBU WILDFIRE SURROUNDS DICK VAN DYKE'S HOME; 99-YEAR-OLD STAR 'SAFELY EVACUATED'

He continued to explain that after working on "Bye, Bye Birdie," he took a week off, "flew out here and did a pilot with Carl [Reiner], came back . . . he called me and said it sold . . . and then the end of the first season we got canceled."

Van Dyke explained his show was up against Perry Como on NBC, and "he beat us every night."

Perry Como was one of the most beloved and successful entertainers of the 20th century. The American singer and actor was known for his popular songs, including the holiday hit, "It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" and "Catch a Falling Star."

Van Dyke said executive producer Sheldon Leonard traveled to Cincinnati to pay Van Dyke's corporate sponsor, Procter & Gamble, a visit and convinced the network to continue airing "The Dick Van Dyke" show. 

Leonard produced "The Andy Griffith Show" along with "The Dick Van Dyke Show."

DICK VAN DYKE, 99, HOPES TO BE REMEMBERED BY FANS FOR ONE THING

"He said this show deserves another chance, and they gave us another chance. . . . Then we ran for five years."

The Hollywood actor also spoke about working with one of his "heroes," the creator of "The Dick Van Dyke Show," Carl Reiner.

"He was not only a great talent, he was one of the nicest people I ever knew. He was an angel, that guy. Loved him."

In June 2020, legendary actor, director and producer Reiner died at the age of 98. Reiner died of natural causes at his home in Beverly Hills, California. 

Throughout his legendary career in showbusiness, Reiner earned countless awards, including several Emmys and a Grammy for best spoken comedy album alongside Mel Brooks for their album "The 2000 Year Old Man in the Year 2000."

Reiner was best known for co-starring in "The Dick Van Dyke Show," which he also created. He played comedian Alan Brady on the fictional TV show.

In 2019, Reiner told Fox News that working on "The Dick Van Dyke Show" was his favorite. 

"When asked, ‘Of all the theatrical projects you’ve done in your life, what are you most proud of?’ I always say, hands down, it’s creating and producing ‘The Dick Van Dyke Show.’ It was a labor of love."

Tom Selleck indulges in McDonald's before 80th birthday celebration with wife and family

2 February 2025 at 00:27

Tom Selleck was spotted on a solo outing to McDonald's the day before the actor celebrated his milestone 80th birthday.

The "Magnum P.I." star was photographed in his car while picking up fast food at a drive-thru in Thousand Oaks, California on Tuesday. 

On Wednesday night, Selleck was seen holding hands with his wife Jillie Mack after enjoying a birthday dinner with family and friends at the upscale Italian eatery Tuscany il Ristorante in Thousand Oaks.

The couple, who have been married since 1987, were joined by their daughter Hannah, 36, for the celebration. 

TOM SELLECK RISKS LOSING CALIFORNIA RANCH WITH CANCELATION OF 'BLUE BLOODS'

Selleck was casually clad in a dark red button-down shirt under a light brown blazer with a tan jacket, blue jeans and olive green sneakers. 

Jillie, 67, wore a black and beige striped maxi-dress with a light brown leather jacket, a black cross-body bag and black ankle boots.

Selleck carried a cigar box while Jillie held a gift bag as they strolled hand in hand down the street.

In a December interview with Parade, Selleck said that he had given little thought as to how he planned to celebrate turning 80.

"I’m trying not to count," he said. "I stopped celebrating birthdays a while back. I intend to keep working. I’ll probably have dinner with maybe my brother and my sister and Jillie, just go out to dinner, kind of be quiet and not make a big deal of it."

While speaking with Parade, Selleck said he was looking toward the future after his hit show "Blue Bloods" came to an end.

The Emmy Award winner played Commissioner Frank Reagan in the crime drama for 14 seasons from 2010 to 2024.

Selleck explained that he is not planning to retire anytime soon and expressed his hopes to make a return to the Western genre in a project led by "Yellowstone" creator Taylor Sheridan.

"A good Western’s always on my list," he said.  "I miss that; I want to sit on a horse again."

Selleck, who lives with Jillie on a 63-acre ranch in Ventura, California, previously starred in seven Westerns, including "The Sacketts," "Concrete Cowboys," "The Shadow Riders," "Quigley Down Under," "Last Stand at Saber River," "Crossfire Trail" and "Monte Walsh."

While Selleck quipped that offers for new acting roles aren't "pouring in," he added that "some people are thinking of me."

"I don’t know where my next job will take me," he said. "People ask, ‘What do you want to do next?’ I’m not sure. I don’t want to do Frank Reagan II."

Selleck later shared his thoughts on starring in a potential "Blue Bloods" spin-off, saying "I’m open to suggestions because I love Frank Reagan, but nobody’s really asked."

"I don’t see him retiring and going off somewhere," the actor added. "If he goes off to a small town, I’d rather do more ‘Jesse Stone’ movies."

Selleck played police chief Jesse Stone in nine TV movies from 2005 to 2015. The films were based on Robert B. Parker's "Jesse Stone" novel series.

During his interview with Parade, Selleck told the outlet that he wasn't aware of plans for another "Jesse Stone" movie but didn't rule out reprising the role in the future.

"It would be an interesting challenge because Jesse is older now," he said. "There’ve been quite a few years between shows. That doesn’t mean he isn’t a viable character. Everywhere I go, one of the things I get asked is, "When can I see another 'Jesse Stone'?"

At the time, Selleck admitted that coming to terms with the end of "Blue Bloods," which aired its final episode on Dec. 13, had been difficult. 

"The hardest part for me is we had the ‘Blue Bloods’ family and we had the actors’ family," he said. "They’re all my pals. I miss them. It’s going to take a lot of getting used to."

Justin Baldoni launches new website with amended lawsuit, 'timeline of relevant events' in Blake Lively feud

1 February 2025 at 21:25

Justin Baldoni's team has launched a new website amid his ongoing legal battle with "It Ends With Us" co-star Blake Lively.

The website, thelawsuitinfo.com, which was published Saturday, featured a landing page with links to two PDF files, including a copy of a newly amended complaint that the 41-year-old actor filed against the 37-year-old actress and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and another document with a 168-page "timeline of relevant events" that showcased new emails and texts related to the case. 

Both documents were filed Friday in New York federal court ahead of the case's first hearing, which is scheduled for Monday.

Lively has claimed she was sexually harassed on the set of "It Ends With Us" and filed a lawsuit against Baldoni, his Wayfarer studio and former PR representatives in December. The same day Lively filed her suit, Baldoni filed a $250 million suit against The New York Times for a December article about Lively's lawsuit and the alleged smear campaign Baldoni attempted to run against his co-star.

Weeks later, Baldoni then named Lively and Reynolds in a separate $400 million defamation lawsuit in which he accused the Hollywood power couple of attempting to hijack "It Ends With Us" and create their own narrative. 

Baldoni's amended complaint alleged Lively had been working with The New York Times weeks before the article was published in December. 

The documents stated that metadata embedded within The New York Times article indicated the outlet "had already begun building its defamatory Article no later than October 31, 2024." 

The lawsuit claimed that "careful observers reported that viewing the HTML source code for the Article revealed references to a 'message-embed-generator' that referred [to a] date of ‘2024-10-31.’" 

LIKE WHAT YOU’RE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS

According to the documents, The New York Times created a tool to display Lively's texts in the article Oct. 31, which Baldoni's legal team suggested was evidence the story was first generated on or before that date.

"It may seem unsurprising and even respectable that a news organization should work for weeks or months before publishing a purported investigative report," the documents say. 

"But the significance of the timing of these elements of the defamatory Article is that they strip away the legal shields that Lively, the Times, and the other Lively Parties were likely relying on to protect their malicious acts of defamation, such as the litigation privilege and the fair reporting privilege."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, addressed the amended complaint. 

"The decision to amend our lawsuit was a logical next step due to the overwhelming amount of new proof that has come to light," Freedman said.

"This fresh evidence corroborates what we knew all along, that due to a blind pursuit of power, Ms. Lively and her entire team colluded for months to destroy reputations through a complex web of lies, false accusations and the manipulation of illicitly received communications.

"The ongoing public interest in this case online has ironically shed light on the undeniable facts pertaining to The New York Times and how heavily Ms. Lively and her representatives were not only deeply involved in the attempted takedown and smear campaign of Mr. Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and their teams but that they themselves initiated it."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, The New York Times Company's representative, Danielle Rhoades Ha, pushed back against claims made in the amended lawsuit.

"The Baldoni/Wayfarer legal filings are rife with inaccuracies about The New York Times, including, for example, the bogus claim that The Times had early access to Ms. Lively's state civil rights complaint," she said.

"Mr. Baldoni's lawyers base their erroneous claim on postings by amateur internet sleuths, who, not surprisingly, are wrong. The sleuths have noted that a version of the Lively state complaint published by The Times carries the date 'December 10' even though the complaint wasn't filed until more than a week later. The problem: that date is generated by Google software and is unrelated to the date when The Times received it and posted it."

Representatives for Lively did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.

Meghan Markle's best friend says Duchess of Sussex is a 'glorious human' despite 'painful' nasty headlines

1 February 2025 at 16:17

Meghan Markle has plenty of support in her corner. 

Weeks after a scathing Vanity Fair report not only described the Duchess of Sussex as "cold and withholding" to her staffers, but dubbed her and Prince Harry as the "local villains" of their ritzy Montecito neighborhood, actress Abigail Spencer, who has been close friends with Markle since their reign on "Suits" in 2011, said that the negative press can sometimes be difficult to read for those closest to the mom of two. 

"It’s very painful as a friend," she told Page Six at an American Heart Association event in New York City on Thursday. "But she is the most glorious human being on the planet, and so we just have to get behind her and support her."

MEGHAN MARKLE, PRINCE HARRY'S NEIGHBORS SLAM 'DESPERATE' ATTEMPT TO DITCH 'TIARAS IN PURSUIT OF TUPPERWARE'

Markle is no stranger to negative press. 

Last month, the Duchess caught heat for postponing her new Netflix series, "With Love, Meghan," amid the LA wildfires. 

"It would have been wrong to launch her new show while the wildfires continue to rage through L.A.," royal photographer Helena Chard recently told Fox News Digital. "I have to say it’s a first, her giving some thought to the release date of her series. She usually releases her work at the most inappropriate time, to the dismay and wrath of the general public."

"The public have understandably constantly berated her for being tone-deaf. She is hoping the public see her in a new light as a caring, helpful and kind person, thus changing their current perception of her."

Spencer said Markle's new show will highlight the person she actually is. 

"What I love about it is, you know, Meghan is one of my best friends, and I feel like the whole world is going to see, like, an authentic, very cool, very lovely insight into who she actually is as a person," she teased. "You’re also going to learn a lot! I’ve learned a lot from her myself."

This isn't the first time Spencer has voiced her support for Markle. 

MEGHAN MARKLE'S 'SUITS' CO-STAR ABIGAIL SPENCER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST BULLYING 'UNTRUTHS'

In 2021, the actress penned a lengthy description of Markle, two days after Buckingham Palace confirmed in a statement that it was launching a probe into accusations that Prince Harry's wife had bullied a staff member.

"She’s modeled nothing but generous professionalism on sets and an even more generous friendship in private. And on that night, she took my friends as her own. I've learned so much from Meg. The power of a handwritten note. The loveliness of surprise flowers. That she has a perpetual Rolodex in her brain of recommendations for the heart, soul, & body," Spencer wrote.

The "Rectify" actress went on to share her memories of Markle supporting her through good times and bad, and specifically recalled a time she "physically held me in my darkest hours after my dad died."

"After a gut-wrenching break up she brought me into her home & nursed me back to health. Soup & salad waiting in the kitchen, just, if I needed it. She’s taken my son in as her own. I can’t tell you the value of having another working mother I can lean on when with the pressures of visibility & child-rearing woes become overwhelming," Spencer continued.

She referred to Markle as a "safe harbor" and "someone I can fall apart in front of."

Ex-'Mob Wives' anger specialist for Renee Graziano shares insight into show, techniques to combat irritation

1 February 2025 at 10:27

Contributing to the saturation of wives-focused television series in the 2010s was "Mob Wives," a docu-series following the lives of Italian women married to men serving prison sentences for mob-related crimes.

The reality show starred main protagonists Drita D'Avanzo, Carla Facciolo, Karen Gravano and Renee Graziano, daughter of infamous Bonanno crime family consigliere Anthony Graziano, and detailed tumultuous friendships and marriages, chaos and brutal banter.

"I received a call from a producer," Kelly Gorsky, a specialist in therapy, psychology and anger management, told Fox News Digital. "He said, ‘I have a complicated situation, a complicated potential client. Can you handle a difficult person, and would you be open to possibly treating them on a TV show?"

'MOB WIVES' STAR RENEE GRAZIANO SPEAKS OUT AFTER ARREST, CAR CRASH: ‘GRATEFUL TO BE ALIVE’

Since 2007, Gorsky has treated clients through her private practice.

With over 1 million viewers per episode, Season One of "Mob Wives" aired recorded sit-down sessions between Gorsky and Graziano.

"I learned to be challenged," Gorsky said. "I actually learned composure, self-filtering, self-control, self-regulation, even when a client attempts to place you in very uncomfortable circumstances."

Season One offered viewers a look into the stages of grief as a major story line unfolded in Graziano’s life. Her former husband, Hector "Junior" Pagan, was revealed as an FBI informant who wore a wire and snitched on her father. Graziano detailed her struggles to Gorsky during weekly sessions.

She acknowledged one key takeaway was learning how to support a client through the most challenging and unusual circumstances.

‘MOB WIVES' STAR NATALIE DIDONATO HAS BEEN FOUND AFTER BEING REPORTED MISSING: MOTHER

"Whatever they wanted to use out of that 50-minute session, it was out of their discretion," she said. "They got to use whatever content they wanted."

Unsure about the value of sessions recorded in an industrial building for viewers’ entertainment, Gorksy didn’t sign on for additional seasons.

The show aired for six seasons. The final episode aired one month after beloved "Mob Wives" cast member Angela Raiola, known as "Big Ang," died from complications of lung cancer.

Gorsky authored the book "Anger Management: 101," providing insights on how individuals can avoid engaging in or propelling arguments. She details coping skills, tools and information for an alternative to anger, which she initially applied to her own life.

"I had a tremendous amount of anger, friction, yelling, screaming, arguing, and it was just a roller coaster," she said, describing her childhood. "It wouldn’t stop."

"Anger is a pretty healthy emotion that provides you with a cue that something is wrong," Gorsky said.

The court-approved book is written in short chapters, and clients are encouraged to work through them gradually.

"The end goal is to make better decisions because you have better skills to resolve conflicts," Gorsky said.

"Even if you’re the most reactive individual, most of the time, everything is preplanned," she said. "All your plans, situations, people, events, gatherings; you know whom you’re with. You know who the people are. You know what the usual conflicts are."

Gorsky recommends planning management of expectations and responses versus flying blind and welcoming the alternative.

"Usually circumstances are predictable," she said.

Amy Schumer shares scary side effect from Ozempic that left her bedridden

1 February 2025 at 09:34

Amy Schumer once hopped on board the Ozempic trend, but the side effects were so intense she had to stop. 

During a recent appearance on "The Howard Stern Show," the comedian, 43, opened up about her scary experience trying the medication for weight-loss purposes.

"I have this gene - GDF15 - which makes you extremely prone to nausea which is why I was so sick during my pregnancy. So, I tried Ozempic almost three years ago and I was like bedridden, I was vomiting and then you have no energy but other people take it and they're all good," she explained.

OPRAH WINFREY, SHARON OSBOURNE, ROSIE O'DONNELL ADMIT USING WEIGHT LOSS MEDICATION: 'DONE WITH SHAMING'

"I lost 30 pounds so quick," said Schumer, who is mom to 4-year-old son, Gene, whom she shares with husband, Chris Fischer. "I looked great and I couldn't lift my head off the pillow, so what's the point?"

Ozempic, which is a semaglutide injection, was originally approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes, but the medication has increasingly been prescribed off label for weight loss, along with several other similar medications. 

TIM MCGRAW, FAITH HILL'S DAUGHTER GRACIE BLASTS TROLL ACCUSING HER OF USING OZEMPIC TO LOSE WEIGHT

The actress has been open about her Ozempic-use before and once blasted celebrities for saying they lost weight by simply eating "smaller portions" and "lying" about using the injectable drug. 

"Like, shut the f--- up!" she said during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live!" in 2023. "You are on Ozempic or one of those things or you got work done. Just stop."

"Like, a year ago, I tried it," she said. "It's like, you know, you try it.  And I was one of those people that felt so sick and couldn’t play with my son. I was so skinny, and he’s throwing a ball at me and [I couldn’t]."

"And you're like, ‘OK, this isn’t livable for me,'" she added. 

Schumer is not the only celebrity who has opened up about her experience using the drug. 

During a recent episode of his "This Life of Mine" podcast, James Corden explained why it "didn't really work" for him.

"I tried Ozempic, and it won’t be surprising to you when you look at me now, that it didn’t really work," Corden told guest Richard Osman. "I tried it for a bit, and then what I realized was I was like, ‘Oh no, nothing about my eating has anything to do with being hungry.’ All this does is make you feel not hungry. But I am very rarely eating [because of hunger]."

"You are looking at someone who’s eaten a king size, and when I say king size [Cadbury] Dairy Milk — one you give someone for Christmas — in a carwash," the comedian added. "None of that was like, ‘Oh, I’m so hungry’. It is not that, it’s something else."

‘Real Housewives’ star Luann de Lesseps says no salads after 6pm keeps her fit at 59

1 February 2025 at 04:30

"Real Housewives of New York City" star Luann de Lesseps shared her surprising secrets for staying fit at 59.

During a recent interview with Fox News Digital, the TV personality and cabaret performer, who recently launched her new Countess Cabaret Tour, revealed her top three tips for maintaining a svelte physique.

"You should not drink while you eat," de Lesseps said, citing health and wellness advice she received during stays at Austrian spas.

‘REAL HOUSEWIVES’ STAR LUANN DE LESSEPS EXPLAINS WHY SHE STARTED DRINKING AGAIN AFTER TOUTING SOBRIETY

"People are drinking cold drinks while they eat. And what happens is digestion starts in the mouth. That's why we salivate because, like when we're hungry, you think — the burn — the digestive juices are already going. So, the most important thing is to chew a lot while you eat. Pay attention to that. And don't drink while you're eating.

"Europeans are thinner because they sip wine," de Lesseps added. "They don't drink big, cold drinks. That's not their thing. And this is a very key thing in order to stay in good shape. Drink water 20 minutes before you eat or drink — whatever you want to drink. But 20 minutes before you eat and 20 minutes after. So, not while [eating] because it waters down your digestive enzymes and juices that metabolize your food."

De Lesseps also advised people to practice portion control to avoid overeating and incorporate intermittent fasting into their diet regimens.

"In America, we eat a lot. We get big portions. So, it's about portion control as well," she explained. "And eating slowly. And when you eat slowly, you don't eat as much because it takes time for your brain to register that you have actually kind of had enough.

"So, it's taking time to eat and taking your time and eating slowly and chewing well," de Lesseps added. "And, this way, you feel satiated. And a lot of people just skip over that point and just eat everything.

"And, you know, listen, I'm guilty of the same thing sometimes," she added. "But that's how I stay fit."

The TV personality told Fox News Digital she is an advocate for intermittent fasting, an increasingly popular diet method of time-restricted eating. 

"I love fasting," de Lesseps said. "Intermittent fasting, which is you eat late in the morning and you try not to eat [after] 6 p.m. because digestion will wake you up during the middle of the night. Like, if you have a steak at night, you're bound to wake up in the middle of the night because digestion needs energy, so it wakes you up."

De Lesseps also advises against eating a dish commonly labeled as healthy after a certain time.

"Another tip I got for you — [eat] protein and salad for lunch, something like that, because salad you should not eat after really 6 p.m," she said.  

"People think they're eating — like they're having a salad at night with their protein and all that, dressing, with parmesan cheese and croutons — and they're like, ‘This is light.’ Well, the problem with salad is it's 99% water. So, what is that doing? It's watering down your digestion, just like if you had a drink.

"People are washing it down with drinks as well, so digestion's out," she added. "So, salad is a no-no after 6. Instead of that, cooked vegetables. Cooked vegetables have much more to give you than a salad ever will. Not to say that dark greens aren't good for you. Arugula, spinach, iron filled with vitamins, but during the day. Or you make sautéed spinach at night, and you don't have salad."

The Connecticut native explained that staying active is another step that people should take to reach their health goals.

"I'm a jock," she said. "I love sports. So, I'm very active. I think being very active is one of the best things that you can do in order to stay fit.

"It can be water aerobics. It can be just a walk to get your metabolism going in the morning or SoulCycle, if you really want to kill it. I'm not a big SoulCycle person, but sometimes I do SoulCycle. But I just feel like you have to be physically active.

"So, those are big tips," she added. "It's really about digesting, the way you eat and just keep it moving."

De Lesseps, who is an original cast member of "The Real Housewives of New York City" and appeared in 13 seasons of the hit Bravo series, made her cabaret debut in 2017 with her show "#CountessAndFriends." De Lesseps became a countess after she married French Count Alexandre de Lesseps in 1993. 

The two divorced in 2009, and de Lesseps officially lost the title when she married Tom D'Agostino Jr. in 2016. 

De Lesseps' cabaret show, which aired during the Season 10 finale of "RHONYC" and featured appearances by her "RHONYC" co-star Sonja Morgan and actress Rachel Dratch, became a hit with fans. 

After the success of her debut performance, de Lesseps launched her nationwide "#CountessAndFriends" tour. Last fall, she embarked on her "F Marry Kill" tour, which was directed by acclaimed Broadway director and producer Richard Jay-Alexander. 

In December, de Lesseps returned to the road for her "A Very Countess Christmas" tour. The reality star is now headlining her international Countess Cabaret tour, which kicked off Saturday at Harrah's Lake Tahoe in Stateline, Nevada. For her latest tour, de Lesseps teamed up again with Jay-Alexander, who previously directed shows for Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler and Kristin Chenoweth. 

During all of her performances, de Lesseps wears ensembles pulled from the showroom of the fashion brand Jovani. De Lesseps and Jovani have a longtime partnership, and the prom dress retailer is a favorite with many of the other "Real Housewives." 

In 2019, de Lesseps released her original song, "Feelin' Jovani," along with an accompanying music video starring herself, "Real Housewives of Atlanta‘s" Cynthia Bailey and "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills‘" Lisa Rinna. "The Real Housewives" executive producer and "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen also made a cameo appearance. 

"Feelin' Jovani" was de Lesseps' fourth single after 2010's "Money Can't Buy You Class," 2011's "Chic C'est la Vie" and 2015's "Girl Code." In 2020, de Lesseps released her fifth song, "Viva La Diva," which she co-produced with Grammy-winning songwriter and producer Desmond Child. 

During her interview with Fox News Digital, de Lesseps shared that her cabaret tour shows will feature performances of all her original songs along with covers of hits by famous artists, including Tina Turner and Stevie Nicks.

"What I enjoy most is the shock on people's faces because they don't know my cabaret show from watching the ‘Housewives' because it's always about the drama, because of music rights. Bravo was not paying for me to sing 'What's Love Got To Do [With It]?'" she said. "They're not playing Tina Turner because that ain't going to fly.

"I love the freedom I have with cabaret because I can do anything I want, say anything I want, sing anything I want."

De Lesseps told Fox News Digital her songs were inspired by the friendships and feuds that she has had with her "Real Housewives" co-stars.

"Regardless of what those women have done to me over the years, cabaret? Life is not a cabaret. Well, it is for me because cabaret is my story that I write," she said. "You know, it's like life. You write your story. Nobody's going to write your story for you. This is my story, right? And I think that they were always so jealous of the fact that I was successful at it."

"It's like ‘Jovani, Jovani.' I'm like, ‘Well, "Feelin' Jovani."’ That's where it comes from," de Lesseps continued. "So, I'm inspired by these women all the time to write music. I won't tell you who ‘Money Can’t Buy Class' is after. But I'm inspired by them all the time.

"All my music stems a lot from the ladies, from my experience on the show," she added. "And then when people come to my show, they're in for a real treat."

De Lesseps will also soon be seen again on the small screen. She is starring in the "Real Housewives" dating show spinoff series, "Love Hotel," which will air on Peacock. De Lesseps filmed the show alongside "The Real Housewives of Orange County's" Shannon Beador and "The Real Housewives of the Potomac's" Gizelle Bryant and Ashley Darby.

While de Lesseps told Fox News Digital she couldn't reveal many details about "Love Hotel," she said she was excited for fans to watch it.

""It's the first dating show for Bravo," she said. "And we had a great time. I'm excited. I think people are going to love it. And it's coming out in the spring, and so I'm super, super excited."

Prince Harry, Meghan Markle mocked by comedian at Netflix event

30 January 2025 at 16:38

John Mulaney took a playful jab at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle while promoting his upcoming talk show, "Everybody's Live with John Mulaney."

During the "Next on Netflix" event this month, the comedian spoke to reporters about the new show while poking fun at not only himself, but also the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"We will be live globally with no delay," Mulaney said, according to Variety. "We will never be relevant. We will never be your source for news. We will always be reckless. Netflix will always provide us with data that we will ignore."

"It was a total blast, and it was one of those shows that neither Netflix nor I really needed to do," Mulaney said. "I never wanted to host a talk show, and they were getting out of the talk show game. So, it was the perfect moment to do this. ... If we can be one-tenth as popular on Netflix as anything from South Korea, I will have the most successful talk show in world history."

"This is a really fun experiment," he added. "Not since Harry and Meghan has Netflix given more money to someone without a specific plan."

A source with knowledge told Fox News Digital, "Mulaney made multiple jokes — this was just one of them."

The series, which is set to premiere on March 12, is a followup to "John Mulaney Presents: Everybody’s In LA," which aired during the Netflix Is a Joke Festival last year. 

Representatives for Mulaney and Netflix did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment. A representative for Archewell, Prince Harry and Markle's foundation, did not provide further comment. 

The jab comes shortly after Markle postponed the release of her latest Netflix venture, "With Love, Meghan," due to the devastation surrounding the Los Angeles wildfires. 

The Duchess of Sussex revealed earlier this month that her new series, which was set for a Jan. 15 premiere on the streaming giant, has been rescheduled for a March 4 release.

"At the request of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and with the full support of Netflix, the release of the show — a heartfelt tribute to the beauty of Southern California — has been moved from its previously announced January premiere date to March 4, due to the ongoing devastation caused by the Los Angeles wildfires," a Netflix representative confirmed to Fox News Digital.

"I’m thankful to my partners at Netflix for supporting me in delaying the launch, as we focus on the needs of those impacted by the wildfires in my home state of California," Markle said.

At the time, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital that it would have "been wrong to launch her new show while the wildfires continue to rage through L.A." 

"I have to say it’s a first, her giving some thought to the release date of her series," Chard said.

"The public have understandably constantly berated her for being tone-deaf. She is hoping the public see her in a new light as a caring, helpful and kind person, thus changing their current perception of her."

ROYALS ‘COULDN’T GIVE A DAMN' ABOUT MEGHAN MARKLE'S NETFLIX SHOW, DUCHESS IS ‘CLOSED CHAPTER:’ EXPERTS

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams believed Netflix had "no option" but to postpone the series.

"Harry and Meghan have been active in supporting relief efforts and helping evacuees," Fitzwilliams said. 

"This is a situation where their person-to-person skills, which are considerable, have, according to the mayor of Pasadena, ‘really buoyed the spirits of the first responders.’ Obviously, the series is of considerable importance to their contract with Netflix, and we will doubtless be able to judge it at a more appropriate future time."

HGTV star Christina Haack claims filming new reality show with ex Josh Hall was 'recipe for disaster'

30 January 2025 at 07:00

Christina Haack is getting candid about filming her show "The Flip Off" without her estranged husband Josh Hall following their split.

The 41-year-old real estate investor and TV personality is starring alongside her first ex-husband, Tarek El Moussa, and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa in the new HGTV reality competition series. Hall was originally set to join the trio in "The Flip Off" but he departed the show after he and Haack both filed for divorce last summer.

While speaking to Fox News Digital in a joint interview with Tarek and Heather, Haack explained why she believes that Hall's exit was for the best.

"I think on camera — some people are very comfortable on camera, some aren't," she said. "And that's totally understandable. He wasn't super comfortable on camera. I think he's too hard on himself, too much in his head."

Haack continued, "And when you get like that, I feel like you can't really fully relax or be yourself. So there's that aspect."

HGTV STAR CHRISTINA HAACK SAYS REALITY SHOW IS ‘SO MUCH EASIER’ WITHOUT ESTRANGED HUSBAND ‘WEIGHING ME DOWN’

"And then also, he doesn't have a lot of experience in flipping houses," she added. "So if you combine the two, it's kind of a recipe for disaster."

In May, HGTV announced the show, which was to follow Haack and Hall as they competed against Tarek and Heather in a series of real estate flip-off contests. Production on the series started shortly before the former couple filed for divorce on July 7, and Haack continued filming the show afterward without her estranged spouse.

Hall, who was featured in promos for "The Flip Off," appeared in the show's premiere episode, but he will no longer be seen in the six-part series' future installments.

For her part, Heather told Fox News Digital that she believed Hall's continued presence would only have led to trouble on "The Flip Off" set.

"I thought that our dynamic was better. I think with Josh, it would have been heavily tense And I think there would have been some real fighting, to be honest," she said.

"It would have been a very different show," Haack noted.

"It would have been very different," Heather agreed. "I think with us three, it's very lighthearted and fun, and we've all been this a really long time, and it made really good TV."

In December 2016, Haack and Tarek, who share daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, announced they were separating after seven years of marriage. The two finalized their divorce in 2018. The former couple rose to fame when they co-starred in the hit HGTV reality show "Flip or Flop" for 10 seasons from 2013 to 2022, continuing to work together after their split.

Since 2018, Haack has starred in the HGTV "Flip or Flop" spin-off series "Christina on the Coast." She also hosted HGTV's "Christina in the Country," which ran for two seasons and also featured appearances by Hall.

Tarek has headlined three seasons of the HGTV show "Flipping 101 with Tarek El Moussa," which debuted in 2020. Heather, who married Tarek in 2021, previously starred in seven seasons of Netflix's "Selling Sunset." 

The couple, who share son Tristan, 1, also teamed up for two seasons of the HGTV show "The Flipping El Moussas."

While speaking with Fox News Digital, Tarek weighed in on whether Haack was disadvantaged by having to compete solo against himself and Heather following Hall's departure from "The Flip Off."

"No, not very much," Tarek said. "It gave her an advantage because she didn't have to deal with Josh anymore. She had to make all her own decisions."

Though Hall's exit left Haack without a partner, the reality star enlisted her "trusted team of experts" to help her win the competition in place of her ex, according to People magazine.

"She'll tell you, she has a strong team," Heather said. "I feel like she's doing better on her own."

Haack explained that "The Flip Off" is "very different" from "Flip or Flop."

HGTV STAR TAREK EL MOUSSA, HEATHER RAE ADMIT ONE THING CAUSES 'TENSION' ON SET WITH HIS EX-WIFE CHRISTINA HALL

"'Flip or Flop' was totally buy a house, fix it up, sell it. And there really wasn't much personal life to it," she said. "It was really about the house." 

"This show, it's obviously them against me, and it's very real," Haack continued. "It's very more like docuseries. You get to see our real personalities, and it's highly competitive."

Though Haack said that she and Heather initially "didn't know what to expect" when they first began production on "The Flip Off," the two quickly discovered that they enjoyed working together.

"Obviously, she's been on ‘Selling Sunset,’ and I've done my things with HGTV but this is different," Haack said. "And so going into it, I think both of us were kind of like, we didn't really know what was going to happen. But after the first shoot, I was just like laughing, and I was in such a good mood. And I texted Heather and I was like, 'You're so fun to film with.' Because it really was. And it only got better after that."

"Surprisingly, they got along so well that they teamed up and picked on me," Tarek joked.

While fans were initially surprised when it was announced that Haack would be starring in a reality TV show with her ex-husband and his wife, the trio told Fox News Digital that Taylor and Brayden were unfazed by their on-screen collaboration.

"They didn't really care," Tarek said.

"I don't even know if they don't know that none of us even work together," Haack added. "It was like, ‘Oh, we’re filming a show together. And they're like, "OK."

"They're so used to it," Heather said as Haack laughed. "They're just like, "OK, cool."

However, Tarek said that their children ended up taking sides. 

"Of course, Taylor was Team Christina, Brayden was Team Heather and Tarek. And at the end they were both team Christina," Tarek recalled.

During their interview with Fox News Digital, Tarek and Haack also reflected on their secret to successful co-parenting.

"Putting the kids first," Haack said.

"Yeah, adults should act like adults," Tarek agreed. "And honestly, the kids are number one, right? So if you don't put the kids number one, you're not going to co-parent well because there's going to be animosity. So, as long as it's about the kids, then things are gonna work out."

He continued, "The good thing about that is even if you have a couple that doesn't get along, but they're co-parenting well over time, you know, relationships rebuild."

"Are you saying that I don't get along with you?" Haack asked.

"A long time ago!" Tarek replied.

"Oh, jeez, it's been many years," Haack said.

"There's been some ups and downs," Heather added with a smile. 

"You have a couple, and they don't get along. But if they co-parent well over time because of that co-parenting, there's an opportunity to rebuild that relationship and that friendship," Tarek explained.

"Everyone has the same end goal, and that is the kids being happy, healthy and feeling supported," Heather said.

Haack pointed out that she, Tarek and Heather recently celebrated the holidays together with their families.

"We did Christmas Eve together this year, all of us," Haack said. 

"His parents, my parents and yours would have been there if they were in town," she continued, gesturing at Heather, who nodded.

"It was wonderful," Haack added. "It went great."

"Everyone just gets along and loves it, and it's really nice," Heather said. 

"It's nice for the kids to have us all there together," Haack said. 

Haack also shares son Hudson, 5, with her ex-husband Ant Anstead. The two tied the knot in 2018 but finalized their divorce in 2021. Following their split, the former couple engaged in a bitter custody battle over Hudson. However, they reached an agreement in 2022 and decided to maintain their previously established joint custody arrangement.

Anstead and Haack now have an amicable co-parenting relationship, and in November, it was revealed that the "Wheeler Dealers" host would be joining his ex-wife on "The Flip Off."

At the time, a source confirmed to Fox News Digital that Anstead is "filming a portion of the show" with Haack.

Meanwhile, Haack and Hall's split has become increasingly acrimonious since they filed for divorce after two years of marriage on July 7. Haack accused Hall of transferring $35,000 of her money into his personal bank account on July 8 after their divorce filing, according to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

"I would not have asked him to send himself my money the day after I told him we are getting divorced," Haack stated in the documents.

In his divorce filing, Hall requested spousal support from Haack. In a November court filing, Haack stated that her ex "should not need" spousal support as he has his own source of income. 

The two have also battled over ownership of a Tennessee farmhouse, where Hall had been living after their separation, and both have taken shots at each other over social media.

Haack recently said the two are "not even close" to settling their split

"We’re going to be going to trial, I hear," the HGTV star said during a Jan. 12 appearance on Sirius XM's "Jeff Lewis Live." "He doesn’t want to do mediation. It’s going to be fun. Can’t wait."

New episodes of "The Flip Off" will be released every Wednesday at 8 p.m. on HGTV.

Alec Baldwin cries over deadly 'Rust' shooting in reality show trailer

27 January 2025 at 14:05

The trailer for Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s reality series has debuted, showcasing their family life and the fallout from the "Rust" shooting.

In the opening moments of the trailer for the show, premiering Feb. 23 on TLC, Hilaria introduces the family, counting off "seven children, six animals, two parents, wild family!"

A montage of typical busy family moments follows, including Baldwin warning two of his kids, "Don’t pee in that pool!"

But the levity halts when an aerial of the set of "Rust" is shown, as Hilaria narrates, "A son lost his mom in the most unthinkable tragedy. This is never something to forget, and we’re trying to parent through it."

ALEC BALDWIN AND WIFE HILARIA MAKE FIRST RED CARPET APPEARANCE SINCE 'RUST' CASE DISMISSAL

Later moments show Baldwin covering his face with his hands, tearing up.

"Honestly, from the bottom of my soul, I don’t know where I’d be if I didn’t have you and these kids," the actor says. A brief scene also appears to show Baldwin entering a therapist’s office.

The Baldwin children are shown spotting a paparazzi photographer taking their picture, as Hilaria says, "It’s nothing. Just ignore him."

Near the end of the minute-long clip, Hilaria says, "We’ve had our bad moments, but we found our foundation. We’re solid and we’re here together."

"This series gives viewers a glimpse into our lives as a family – the good, bad, wild, and everything in between. We hope viewers will connect with our experiences and the love we share. Filming the show has been an amazing journey, and we’re proud to have TLC as a partner in telling our story," Baldwin and Hilaria said in a press release for the show.

Howard Lee, president of TLC, also said in the release, "TLC has always been a platform for compelling stories. With ‘The Baldwins,’ viewers gain an unprecedented look into Alec and Hilaria Baldwin’s family journey. As they navigate parenthood, marriage and life under the spotlight, the series blends moments of joy, chaos and sincerity offering a genuine portrayal beyond the headlines." 

TLC’s description of the first episode also highlights the "Rust" tragedy.

"In the season premiere, Alec and Hilaria celebrate their oldest son Rafael’s ninth birthday and, in a bid to escape the noise of the city, they head to East Hampton to continue a yearly summer tradition. But in the midst of celebration is uncertainty as Alec faces trial. Alec and Hilaria navigate the emotional complexities of the moment, all while keeping their children’s lives as stable as possible."

Baldwin was tried for involuntary manslaughter in the on-set death of "Rust" cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on Oct. 21, 2021. The actor was holding a gun that discharged, with the bullet striking and killing Hutchins.

In July 2024, Baldwin’s case was dismissed with prejudice by Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer, after ruling that the prosecution concealed evidence from his legal team.

There was an additional appeal by the Santa Fe District Attorney's Office to try Baldwin again, but it was withdrawn in December.

"Rust" armorer Hannah Gutierrez Reed was convicted of loading a live round into a revolver, which Baldwin fired, resulting in Hutchins’ death and injury to the film’s director, Joel Souza. 

Justin Baldoni's mom says the 'truth will shine' amid Blake Lively drama, urges him to keep his integrity

25 January 2025 at 18:43

Justin Baldoni's support system is standing strong amid his ongoing legal battle with Blake Lively. 

Baldoni, who celebrated his 41st birthday Friday, received an outpouring of love on social media from two of his biggest fans — his wife, Emily, and mom, Sharon. 

"Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of ‘Jane The Virgin’- a moment where joy and love permeated the set, where friendships and family were born and kindness and integrity permeated the hearts of all the actors and crew, where sadness only entered because it was the final scene of a wonderful journey~ and the beginning of the rest of our lives," Sharon Baldoni wrote alongside a carousel of photos. 

JUSTIN BALDONI CLAIMS UNEDITED ‘IT ENDS WITH US’ FOOTAGE REFUTES BLAKE LIVELY'S SEXUAL HARASSMENT ACCUSATIONS 

"A happy loving and generous memory with hearts exploding with possibilities. Life has its moments and also its surprises- as you keep your integrity through it all Justice and truth will shine today and into eternity. I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth."

On Friday, Baldoni's wife also shared her first Instagram post during the ongoing legal battle, writing, "Happy birthday my love. Celebrating the man, husband, and father that you are. I’d choose you again and again."

The statements come one month after Lively detailed allegations of sexual harassment, retaliation, intentional affliction of emotional distress, negligence and more against Baldoni and film producer Jamey Heath in a complaint first filed with the California Civil Rights department and later in federal court.

Baldoni filed a $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, accusing them of civil extortion and defamation. 

In the suit, Baldoni claimed Lively "refused to meet with the intimacy coordinator" to go over intimate scenes.

This put Baldoni in "the awkward position of meeting alone with the intimacy coordinator and later relaying sex scene suggestions and plans to Lively in the intimacy coordinator’s absence," his suit states. 

"These meetings often took place, at Lively’s insistence, in the couple’s home, and often while Lively’s husband was present. Lively’s method of work was unconventional and uncomfortable for Baldoni. To suggest Baldoni was the one who created this scenario is knowingly false.

"As a result, many sex scenes were not written with simultaneous collaboration and input from both Lively and the intimacy coordinator, as Baldoni had long intended." 

Shortly after filing his suit, Baldoni's team released unedited footage from the set of "It Ends With Us" that it claims refutes Lively's previous accusations of sexual harassment.

The video, shared by Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, and obtained by Fox News Digital, allegedly addresses the actress's claims about a slow dance scene.

After the release, Blake Lively's legal team demanded a gag order be issued against Baldoni's lawyer. 

Lively's team slammed Freedman for making multiple statements to the media that could taint a jury should the actress's sexual harassment complaints against Baldoni make it to a courtroom.

"As Ms. Lively’s counsel have attempted, repeatedly, to caution Mr. Freedman, federal litigation must be conducted in court and according to the relevant rules of professional conduct," a letter, obtained by Fox News Digital, stated. 

"His conduct threatens to, and will, materially prejudice both the Lively Case and the Wayfarer (Studios) Case by tainting the jury pool, because his statements are deliberately aimed at undermining the ‘character, credibility, [and] reputation’ of numerous relevant parties."

On Jan. 23, Baldoni's lawyers filed a response, calling Lively's gag order attempt an "intimidation tactic" and "tactical gamesmanship."

"Having publicly made ruinous allegations that the Wayfarer Parties can prove are false, the Lively Parties now invoke attorney disciplinary rules as an intimidation tactic," Baldoni's legal team wrote.

"The Lively Parties’ desire to force the Wayfarer Parties to defend themselves privately against allegations made publicly is not a proper basis for a gag order. It is tactical gamesmanship, and it is outrageous."

The filing says after a "bombshell" New York Times article included Lively's allegations of sexual harassment against Baldoni, releasing the unedited "This Ends With Us" footage has been vital to protecting Baldoni.

'Wheel of Fortune' star Vanna White confused by son being called 'thirst trap'

25 January 2025 at 18:26

"Wheel of Fortune" star Vanna White was left puzzled after social media users called her son Nikko Santo Pietro a "thirst trap."

Last month, White, 67, shared an Instagram video in which she and Santo Pietro were seen in the kitchen as they cooked a chicken dish. After fans used the slang phrase to describe the 30-year-old real estate agent, White appeared to be unfamiliar with the meaning of the term during Thursday's episode of the long-running game show.

"I recently posted a video of me and my son, Nikko, cooking and it got a lot of response," the TV personality told her co-host Ryan Seacrest as the audience cheered.

"I don’t get it," White said with a shrug.

"The kids are calling Nikko a thirst trap," Seacrest, 50, explained. 

The "American Idol" host informed her that fans noticed Santo Pietro was wearing a snug-fitting white T-shirt in the clip.

"Apparently, that was a very tight — he went to the Baby Gap to buy that shirt," Seacrest joked. "It was very tight and they found him strikingly good-looking and no one knows what you cooked."

"What did you guys actually make?" he asked White.

"We cooked Uncle Roy's Chicken," White replied.

"Well, thank you Uncle Roy and thank you, Nikko, for that tight shirt," Seacrest quipped.

White went on to tease that she would be posting another video on Thursday.

"Oh boy!" Seacrest said. 

"What's it going to be?" White said coyly to which Seacrest replied, "We'll find out soon."

The "Vanna Speaks" author later shared another video of herself cooking with Santo Pietro, which was met with a similarly enthusiastic response from her followers.

After White uploaded the first cooking video in December, fans quickly took the comments section to rave over her "handsome" son and inquire about his relationship status.

"Vanna where have you been hiding Nikko ? He’s GORGEOUS," one person wrote.

"Obviously, I had an outpour[ing] from her fans just really being kind and saying all kinds of interesting stuff in the comments," he said.

Santo Pietro, who works at The Agency, the real estate company owned by Mauricio Umansky, ex-husband of "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Kyle Richards, added, "I’ve always loved being in front of the camera, and I work really hard on my social media. That’s a big part of what I do, so it feels natural and good."

However, Santo Pietro was adamant that the praise wasn't going to his head.

"People see me as this heartthrob, and they’re thirsty for me and all this stuff. I love it all, but at the same time, it’s really good to remember the meaningful things in life and just kind of dial it back, doing a lot of charity work, working hard every day," he told the outlet.

"That’s what it is to me," Santo Pietro continued. "Making an impact."

White added, "He’s such a good kid!"

She continued, "I always taught both of my children, you have to work hard to get things, it’s not just given to you. And he’s doing it."

In addition to Santo Pietro, White shares daughter, Gigi, with her ex-husband, restaurant owner George Santo Pietro. 

While some fans had expressed their hopes of finding love with Santo Pietro or setting him up with their daughters, he confirmed he was already in a relationship.

"I have an amazing girlfriend," he told ET. "She’s an absolute sweetheart. She’s a singer-songwriter. We’ve been together for a year. She wrote a song about me. It’s really sweet that she did that.

He added that his girlfriend, Easae, who wrote the song about him titled "Karaoke," "obviously detected the heartthrob thing before America did."

White confirmed that she approved of Easae, saying, "She’s so sweet, she really is, down-to-earth, loving, giving."

Nikko’s viral attention is also potentially sparking a few more television appearances.

"I would love that," White said when asked if fans could expect to see Santo Pietro on "Wheel of Fortune." She noted that her former co-host Pat Sajak’s daughter, Maggie Sajak, has appeared the show many times, including filling in for White while she took over Sajak’s role as host in 2020 when he underwent surgery. Maggie has also worked as the show’s social media correspondent since 2021.  

"I don’t know how well I’d play the game, but I’d love to participate at some level," Nikko added.

Dave Coulier's cancer battle is getting 'more difficult,' but this morning ritual helps him pull through

25 January 2025 at 16:25

Three months after revealing his cancer diagnosis, Dave Coulier is continuing the fight of his life. 

During a recent interview with ABC-WXYZ in Detroit, Coulier's wife, Melissa, said that while the "Full House" alum's battle has gotten "more difficult," they both remain positive and even participate in silly morning rituals that help boost his confidence. 

"He has some really tough days, and as the chemo has been accumulating it gets a little tougher and more difficult," she told the local station on Thursday. 

'FULL HOUSE' STAR DAVE COULIER DIAGNOSED WITH 'VERY AGGRESSIVE' CANCER

"He has such a positive attitude, and you need that in order to really fight it," she continued. "Every morning, if he’s feeling up for it, we try to put on a song and do a little dance party with the dogs, because when you do feel good, you have to celebrate that, too."

"He has had a lot of loss in his life when it comes to having to deal with cancer. He lost his mother, his sister, his niece. His other sister had it," she added. "I think for him, he takes every stride and really pulls strength from seeing the women that were so close in his life to powering through it, and he just wants to honor them."

In November, Coulier, who starred as Joey Gladstone in the beloved TV series "Full House" in the 1980s and 90s, announced that he had been diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The actor and comedian said he was diagnosed in October after experiencing an upper respiratory infection caused by major swelling in his lymph nodes. 

"Three days later, my doctors called me back, and they said, ‘We wish we had better news for you, but you have non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and it's called B cell, and it's very aggressive,'" he told People.

"I went from, ‘I got a little bit of a head cold’ to ‘I have cancer,’ and it was pretty overwhelming," he added. "This has been a really fast roller-coaster ride of a journey." 

According to the American Cancer Society, B-cell lymphoma is a type of cancer that develops in B-lymphocytes. B-cell lymphomas account for the vast majority of non-Hodgkin lymphomas. Every year, more than 80,000 Americans are diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

"The first thing I said to them was, ‘Wait a minute — cancer?’" Coulier later shared on the "Today" show. "(I was) feeling like I got punched in the stomach, because it never happens to you. You always hear about it happening to someone else."

"My joke is that in four short weeks, I’ve gone from a Virgo to a Cancer," he continued. "I’ve tried to retain a sense of reality but also a sense of humor about it."

"I told Melissa I don’t know why, but I (am) OK with whatever the news (is) going to be, no matter how devastating. . . . I can’t explain where that came from," he added. "I’ve had an incredible life. I’ve had the most amazing people in my life. This has been an extraordinary journey, and I’m OK if this is the end of the journey."

Lili Reinhart was 'disassociated' throughout 'Riverdale' bout due to intrusive thoughts about her body image

25 January 2025 at 15:44

Lili Reinhart is opening up about her mental health struggles. 

In a new interview with Self Magazine, the 28-year-old actress, who starred as Betty Cooper on "Riverdale" from 2017 to 2023, was candid about the pressures Hollywood can bring and her battle with body dysmorphia.

"I really don’t like looking at season six imagery or pictures, because I know that 99 percent of my thoughts were about my body," said Reinhart, who landed her breakthrough role at 19. "I was a thousand percent just disassociated through that entire day or scene because my entire inner dialogue is just … ‘Your body’s changing.’"

LILI REINHART OPENS UP ABOUT DEPRESSION, BODY DYSMORPHIA STRUGGLES: ‘IT'S SOMETHING THAT NEVER GOES AWAY'

"It was really hard to keep up, but I did," she added of keeping up with the hustle and bustle of show business. "I didn’t have a choice, and I’ve always just showed up and done my job."

Reinhart has been an avid advocate for mental health awareness throughout the years, and she recently spoke more toward her own experience at the White House in 2024. 

"That’s the ironic thing that people don’t see," she told Self. "I’m literally in Washington, D.C., at the White House giving a speech on mental health. And then that same night, I am sobbing, in so much discomfort, and feel so defeated."

In 2019, Reinhart admitted that while her depression is a constant battle, she's learned healthy coping mechanisms throughout the years. 

"Depression has affected me in so many ways. It's something that never goes away," she told Glamour UK at the time. "I have spells of time where I feel completely unmotivated, I don't want to do anything, and I question myself. I don't know how to handle stress very well. I find that talking about it and sharing my experience with other people, and reminding myself that I’m not alone has been incredibly therapeutic."

"Seeing the therapist allowed me to be understood. The goal for me has been to always leave therapy feeling a couple of inches taller. Feeling like I've alleviated myself of a problem by learning how to solve it," the "Hustlers" star added. 

"Not everything has a straight answer – it's not just going to take one session – but I start to think, 'I've grown, I've done this, I've figured this out, now I can go off into the world and try to put what I’ve learned into action.' That's how I look at therapy. I am not crazy, and I am not problematic. I am just a human who's feeling something in a different way than some other people would," added Reinhart.

In 2023, Reinhart shared her concerns over Hollywood's obsession with body image and how it has impacted her. 

"I wish there were more average-sized arms represented in mainstream media for women," the actress wrote on X, (formally Twitter). "My body dysmorphia has been going crazy because I feel like my arms need to be half the size they are currently? We've glamorized these skinny arms that, for most of us, can only be achieved if you're a literal adolescent."  

"I truly wonder how anyone survives or gets through this life without having severe BD. Maybe it's a cruel amplified version in combination with my OCD, but damn. The amount of time I've wasted thinking about my arms in the last few months is insane," she added. 

These days, Reinhart said she's content with where she is in her mental health journey. 

"I feel strong and happy about the mental health advocacy that I’ve done, and I feel happy that I’m about to bring physical health into that conversation, because I know that getting help for women over the next four years is going to be exponentially more difficult," she told Self. "Listen to your body, and don’t take no for an answer. Don’t let a doctor tell you that nothing’s wrong when you know that there is."

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag sue the city of Los Angeles, LADWP after Palisades Fire

23 January 2025 at 21:11

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag have sued the city of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power after losing their home in the Palisades Fire.

According to court documents obtained by Fox News Digital, the reality stars are alleging "inverse condemnation," a legal concept that allows property owners to seek compensation when the government damages property.

"The Hills" alums filed the suit with 20 other property owners Jan. 21, blaming the City of Los Angeles and the utility company for causing damage to their homes.

The document cited reports that the Santa Ynez Reservoir was emptied Jan. 7 before the Palisades Fire. The Santa Ynez Reservoir is close to the Pacific Palisades neighborhood in Los Angeles. 

Pratt, Montag and the other plaintiffs accuse LADWP of making "the conscious decision to operate the water supply system with the reservoir drained and unusable as a ‘cost-saving’ measure."

"With the Santa Ynez Reservoir effectively out of commission, hydrants in Pacific Palisades failed after three tanks each holding one million gallons of water went dry within a span of 12 hours," the complaint said.

The document noted that the system, built by the City of Los Angeles and LADWP, "failed," causing the plaintiffs to lose their homes.

"On information and belief, the Palisades Fire was an inescapable and unavoidable consequence of the water supply system servicing areas in and around Pacific Palisades as it was planned and constructed," the complaint states. 

"The system necessarily failed, and this failure was a substantial factor in causing Plaintiffs to suffer the losses alleged in this Complaint."

The LADWP shared a press release saying the Santa Ynez Reservoir needed to be emptied "to meet safe drinking water regulations and that repair work was slowed by the city charter’s competitive bidding process."

According to the complaint, the plaintiffs are seeking an amount in damages that will be determined at trial. 

"Plaintiffs have suffered real and personal property damage, personal injuries, loss of use of their homes, loss of income, business interruption, and emotional distress and seek fair compensation for themselves in this case caused by Defendants.

"Plaintiffs are entitled to recover all litigation costs and expenses with regard to the compensation for damage to properties, including attorney’s fees, expert fees, consulting fees and litigation costs."

Pratt and Montag have been outspoken since losing their home in the LA fires earlier this month. 

The couple sat down with "Good Morning America" and spoke about the shock of their loss.

"Spencer was like, ‘Grab anything you want to keep,’ and I was like, ‘How do you choose?’ My brain actually stopped working because I was so overwhelmed with so many things you can’t replace. So, I grabbed my kids’ teddy bears," Montag said through tears.

Pratt added, "The worst was … our kids’ room. That is so magical. We do story time every night. It’s such our routine. So much love is in there. Our son’s bed started burning in the shape of a heart. The fire just started as a heart. I was like, ‘This is out of body, insane.’"

The couple said their home and possessions were uninsured and noted they were among many Southern California residents who were dropped from their insurance policies.

As Montag explained to the outlet, "We were ‘house poor’ as they call it. We have a house, and everything else is a hustle, is a grind. So, we’re definitely counting every dollar that we make."

Representatives for Montag and Pratt did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
