Big Brother's Tiffany Mitchell Made A Hilarious Callback To Season 23 After She Was Kicked Of...

We still have a lot of time until Big Brother debuts on the 2026 TV schedule , but I hoped The Traitors Season 4 would make the wait a bit easier. Unfortunately, the cast for this season didn't see fit to keep the two BB players around for long. Now that her elimination officially aired, Tiffany took shots at one co-star with a reference to her iconic reality television debut.

Tiffany's been active on social media all throughout The Traitors Season 4 and was taking shots at co-stars now that fans know she's out of the game. Tiffany saw another Big Brother legend , Josh Martinez, take a shot at Colton Underwood in response to the latest episode, and decided to join in with her own personal twist:

Is Tiffany actually still mad at Colton Underwood, or is this an on-brand post for the fans? Non Big Brother fans may assume the former, but I have some much-needed context from the CBS reality series that tells the whole story.

Season 23 of Big Brother was one of the least-toxic seasons of the show's history, but that doesn't mean it was drama-free. Tiffany feuded with Sarah Beth Steagall during her season, convinced that she had a secret alliance with Kyland Young that would've endangered her chances of winning the game.

Big Brother's Producers Respond To Criticisms About The BB Blockbuster Making The Game Too Competition Heavy, And I Couldn't Agree More

The phrase evolved to get regular use within the online fandom in various spaces, especially when someone wanted to express their distaste for another Big Brother Houseguest. Tiffany, of course, is aware of its popularity, and as someone who is pursuing a career as a reality star, saying the popular line keeps the brand strong.

For that reason, I suspect that Tiffany made this comment more to capitalize on an opportunity, rather than go after Colton Underwood with a strong attack. Then again, multiple things can be true, and I'm sure she didn't love missing out on her chance to win the grand prize money on The Traitors . Only she can tell us how she feels with certainty, so perhaps we'll gain some clarity on where things stand with her and Underwood as time passes.

Scientists Identify One Fitness Habit That May Matter Most For Longevity

Should you go all in on walking—or switch up your workouts during the week? A new study compares the longevity benefits of various types of popular exercises.

While it's well documented that exercise lowers your associated mortality risk , few studies so far have investigated whether or not diversifying your exercise matters. But according to a new Harvard University study, in the long term, exercise variety makes a significant difference in longevity, regardless of how long you sweat.

The study, published on January 20 in BMJ Medicine , focused on 111,000 nurses and health professionals who routinely completed surveys about their exercise habits over a span of 30 years. The participants logged their total time spent on multiple physical activities, including gardening, biking, running, strength training, tennis, climbing stairs, and yoga. The study authors then grouped participants by activity variety.

The most diverse group—those who engaged in the highest number of distinct activities per week—had a 19 percent lower associated mortality risk than the least diverse group, results showed.

The takeaway? “It's probably better to spread the limited energy on multiple physical activities instead of sticking to a single high-intensity one,” says Yang Hu, the study author and a research scientist at Harvard's department of nutrition.

However, since the data is self-reported, participants may have exaggerated their weekly exercise. The study also observed a trend between exercise diversity and longevity, but cannot conclude that variety in movement directly causes lower mortality without a clinical trial. “The findings should be interpreted cautiously,” says Duck-chul Lee, director of the Physical Activity Research Center at the University of Pittsburgh.

Still, the study is well done and interesting, Lee adds. Instead of focusing solely on the advantages of combining aerobic exercise and weight-lifting, like prior sports research suggests, “this study includes various types of popular exercises.” 

71, Rocks Micro Blue String Bikini With Flirty Crochet Shorts

Christie Brinkley is making a tiny string bikini her 2026 uniform amid her getaway to Turks and Caicos. The 71-year-old kept her micro swimwear streak going on Tuesday, modeling a plunging navy blue bikini paired with flirty, ‘70s-inspired crochet shorts.

Brinkley kicked off the new year with a sun-soaked getaway to the popular tropical destination, posing in a parade of swimwear styles that embraced the “less is more” ethos while soaking up some Vitamin D and tapping into her crafty side. And in a January 20 photo dump shared on Instagram , the model gave fans a closer look at her years-long beach project—a mirror embellished with shells and coral she'd been collecting over two decades of visits to Turks and Caicos—while showing off a brand new swimsuit.

Brinkley could be seen balancing on a wooden ladder while holding different corals in each hand, her shell-bedazzled mirror in the background. The Uptown Girl: A Memoir author flashed a big smile at the camera, showing off a navy blue string bikini top that she paired with high-waisted cream crochet shorts decorated with multi-colorful flower designs. A straw sun hat, black flip-flops, and a white dress shirt finished off her look. In a second photo, Brinkley ditched her shirt, hat, and sandals, instead showing off her bare back wearing nothing but her string bikini as she balanced on the wooden cabinet. 

“Mirror mirror on the wall, fix you up if your shells do fall! I'm not complaining because I LOVE a project!” she wrote. “Hope everyone finds time to do something you L❤️VE today!” 

Love Island First Look Sees Scott And Charlie Row Rock The Villa

The Love Island All Stars first look sees Scott call Charlie out for his love triangle with Millie and Jess.

We should have known when Scott van-der-Sluis came blazing into the Love Island All Stars villa with a savage one liner for Sean Stone , that he wouldn't be done there.

While on his original season, back in 2023, he was known for not mincing his words and it seems not a lot has changed in three years as in tonight's episode of All Stars (Tuesday 20th January) Scott is seen pulling co-star Charlie Frederick for a chat and grilling him on his behaviour.

Charlie , who was first one series 11, has been getting to know both Millie Court and Jess Harding . But in last night's episode he took Jess into the Secret Garden in front of Millie, causing a stir amongst the villa.

However Charlie argues that he hasn't got any ⁘cake⁘ because he isn't even in a couple . Scott says: ⁘No, you're not in a couple but you know you and Millie are going quite well.⁘

This comes after Charlie kissed Millie and then admitted that he and Jess had spoken about how much they wanted to kiss each other.

Millie sternly replied: ⁘If you feel like there's a vibe then I don't wanna be like doing this competition... you can get to know us both but there won't be no kissing coming from my side then.

Kourtney Kardashian Reveals She's 3 Years Alcohol-free

The reality star told her Instagram followers on Friday that she hasn't “drank alcohol in three years.”

The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” alum, 46, made the reveal on her Story while documenting her “fancy Friday.”

The non-alcoholic beverage was garnished with two pieces of sister Khloé Kardashian's Khloud protein popcorn.

Kourtney wrote that her sibling “def[initely] told” the server she had been abstaining from drinking.

The “Kardashians” star has been married to Barker , 50, since 2022 — and the Blink-182 rocker is 17 years sober .

The little one arrived that November, and Kourtney confirmed at the Women's Wear Daily's Beauty Inc Awards two years later ( via Daily Mail ) that she still breastfeeds the toddler .

In May 2025, Kourtney opened up about her attachment-style parenting tactics — from nursing to contact naps and co-sleeping — on the “Khloé in Wonderland” podcast.

“[We're] really not separating for as much as possible in the first three years,” the Poosh creator explained in the May 2025 episode, noting that this “really helps nurture” attachment.

Former 'American Idol' Contestant Comes Up Short On 'Wheel Of Fortune:*

One American Idol alum got a second chance at winning big when he tried his hand at another competition of sorts, but, unfortunately, the grand prize remained out of reach.

Shayne Cowell , from Reno, Nevada, auditioned for the long-running singing competition series during one of its early seasons, reuniting with its host, Ryan Seacrest , some twenty years later on the popular game show Wheel of Fortune .

While he had better luck at the latter (Cowell can generally only be heard singing in the shower or at karaoke nowadays, for which Seacrest playfully said, "I blame the judges for everything," earlier in the episode), Cowell missed out on the grand prize when he fumbled his final puzzle.

After racking up a cool $29,148, making him the evening's winner, he got to try his hand at the bonus round, where additional money and a trip abroad were on the line.

He got 10 seconds to guess the phrase, “____ _ _light,” correctly identifying the last two words as “a flight” immediately. Unfortunately, despite multiple good guesses, like “pick a flight” and “take a flight,” he was not able to get the correct first word: “Book.”

“You were so close to it,” Seacrest lamented as the correct letters began to appear, showing him his missed opportunity for another $45,000 and a trip to Finland.

“You are good at Wheel of Fortune ,” Seacrest commended during the episode, with Cowell admitting, “You never think you're gonna do this good until you actually get here and it happens.”

Some viewers agreed, with one commenting on the show's official YouTube page, "I was screaming at the tv for first word BOOK!!!!!"

So far, the post-game grand prize has eluded every player's hands this week, with fans desperately hoping that someone pulls through before it ends.

Release Date, Cast, Plot Details

Returning for another smashing season, Love Is Blind is set to amass a new avid viewer base who will clock in regularly to watch the contestants figure out the intricacies of love and compatibility. Here's everything you need to know about Season 10 of Love Is Blind , so you are prepared to dive into the exciting events of the show.

Love Is Blind is set to release its tenth season on February 11, 2026, as per Tudum . Just in time for Valentine's Day, the show is strategically releasing on this date, so singles across the globe can tune in to revel in the quests for love of the next set of contestants.

The show will follow a set of single people who will embark on a journey to find their soulmate and get engaged without seeing their partner in person. This interesting format makes for exhilarating twists and turns in the show as the participants move forward in their journey.

The participants of the show have not been revealed yet, even though fans are excited to learn who will be working to find their dreamboat in the upcoming season. The producers usually pick people with interesting backstories and motivations so viewers can connect with the contestants and root for their favorites along the way.

Since it's a reality show, and a very widely viewed one at that, Love Is Blind does not necessarily have a plotline. The basic premise of the show centres on single men and women attempting to find a connection with other contestants without ever meeting in person. The official logline of the show reads,

What Is The Traitors US Star Tiffany Mitchell⁘s Whopping Net Worth?

If you watched Big Brother 23, you already know Tiffany Mitchell doesn't just “play” reality TV, she architects it.

Fast-forward to The Traitors US , and she's walking into that Scottish castle with the same sharp reads, big personality, and “I'm not here to be background” energy that made people fall in love the first time.

But now that she's officially in her multi-show era (and her follower count is thriving), one question keeps popping up: what's Tiffany actually worth in 2026?

Tiffany first became a household name on CBS' Big Brother 23 in 2021 and yes, she was literally crowned America's Favourite Houseguest. That matters, because it's not just a popularity title⁘ it comes with a real cash prize.

She entered the house as a phlebotomist from Detroit and quickly proved she could do strategy and storyline at the same time.

Tiffany ended BB23 in sixth place, but her legacy is bigger than her placement! Folks still rate her as one of the most influential modern players.

From there, she kept the momentum going with The Challenge: USA. And then came the call that screams “you've made it”: The Traitors US season four, a cast stacked with reality legends and big personalities.

Tiffany Mitchell's estimated wealth comes from a mix of reality TV earnings, brand partnerships, and her growing influence as a fan-favourite reality TV personality.

Exercise Shows Similar Results To Therapy

Now, researchers say exercise may help reduce depression symptoms as effectively as other first-line treatments.

A recently updated Cochrane review found that exercise yielded similar results to psychological therapy. When compared to antidepressants , however, the evidence was less clear.

Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions in the United States, affecting around 21 million adults . In 2021, approximately 61% of U.S. adults experiencing depression received treatment.

Exercise is a low cost option for symptom management that is widely available, making it an ideal treatment option for individuals and their prescribing healthcare team.

“Our findings suggest that exercise appears to be a safe and accessible option for helping to manage symptoms of depression,” lead study author Andrew Clegg , PhD, professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Leeds said in a press release .

“This suggests that exercise works well for some people, but not for everyone, and finding approaches that individuals are willing and able to maintain is important,” Clegg continued.

The review examined 73 randomized controlled trials that included nearly 5,000 adults with depression.

The examined studies compared exercise with control interventions or no treatment, as well as with antidepressant medications and psychological therapies.

71, Stuns With Ageless Beauty In Bikini

Christie Brinkley, 71, stunned with her ageless beauty in new bikini photos shared on social media.

On Thursday, Jan. 15, the former Sports Illustrated cover star took to Instagram with a carousel of snaps that showed off her fit physique and impressive shell art.

"I shell attempt to distract you from the important news you sea on Insta then I'll clam up and you can scallop back to the more pressing issues of the day," Brinkley captioned her pun-filled update. "PS I made this over the 20+ years we've been here in Turks⁘Caicos from things I find on the beach . 🩵🐚💙 🕊️🦜✌️🌴🦩🌺🪸🌝✨🌈🌤️🌊🦑🐬 #seashell #shell #seashellart."

For the featured image, the supermodel rocked a black bikini top with black shorts in a wide-angle mirror selfie. The focus of the shot, however, was the frame of the mirror, which was artfully adorned with seashells. Several larger shells were displayed on a table beneath the mirror. Other snaps showed the shells closer, with one clip panning over the details.

A different follower echoed, "Christie, you look absolutely gorgeous 🔥🔥🔥 I love the sea shells on the mirror 🐚 🐚🐚."

Love Island Bombshell Has Steamy Three Way Snog In Tonight's Episode

A Love Island source revealed to The Sun: ⁘Scott gets to choose two girls to enjoy a cheeky two-on-one kiss with, and he picks Belle and Leanne. It's part of a steamy game and grabs everyone's attention. It confirms that Scott's explosive entrance last night where he targeted Sean was not a one-time thing. He's in the villa to make an impression and find a connection, and he's going to continue stirring things up.⁘

Last night, Scott made his debut as the first bombshell after all the couples had already been matched by the public. It was then Scott's turn to survey the new pairings.

However, he quickly stirred up trouble in the villa with his remarks. When host Maya Jama asked which boys were ⁘no good⁘ for their girls, Scott responded: ⁘It is an All Star girl line up but in the end couple I can only see one All Star there.⁘

Scott was referring to Belle and Sean and maintained that Sean was one of the ⁘worst Islanders⁘ he had ever seen. Sean was left stunned as he retorted: ⁘How many finals did you make?⁘ To which Scott replied: ⁘How many shows have I been on?⁘ Sean shot back: ⁘That is irrelevant.⁘

⁘I've never even spoken to you before,⁘ was the retort. Scott defended his stance, stating: ⁘You were that far up Joey [Essex} a***, you were naming his organs after candies!⁘

Now he's returned to stir things up, and viewers flocked to social media to voice their reactions. Series 12 contestant Yasmin Pettet declared: ⁘THIS IS THE CHAOS I WANT.⁘

Another chimed in: ⁘He did way too much but like we needed the entertainment that episode was boring.⁘

⁘That's all I'm missing so it would be nice to find something real and find someone to care about.⁘

American Idol Winner To Sing National Anthem At CFP Championship Game

American Idol winner Jamal Roberts has been tapped to sing the national anthem before what could arguably be the biggest college football game in recent memory .

Roberts walked onto the national stage during Season 23 of ABC's American Idol , a competition he won last year by a record-setting 26 million votes. Host Ryan Seacrest told PEOPLE magazine it was the "biggest final vote in show history."

A gospel singer and P.E. teacher from Meridian, Mississippi, Roberts' musical career has continued to earn him acclaim and accolades. His debut single, " Heal ," debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Gospel Songs and Gospel Digital Song charts, a news release stated.

Indianapolis concert-goers may have seen Roberts last year when he joined R&B performers Brandy and Monica during The Boy Is Mine  tour . He also was nominated for a GRAMMY Award in November for Best Gospel Performance/Song for a live version of the song, "Still" with artist Jonathan McReynolds.

Brianna Therve, a 17-year-old high school junior from Florida, will contribute American Sign Language (ASL) during the performance of "America the Beautiful." A local high school senior, 18-year-old Maria Pernalete, will perform ASL as Roberts sings the national anthem.

Kickoff between IU's Hoosiers and the Miami Hurricanes is scheduled at 7:50 p.m. ET, Monday, Jan. 19.

What Happened Between Alex Hall ⁘ Ian Young? Controversy Explained

Selling The OC star Alex Hall has broken her silence on her split from Ian Young, revealing that their breakup was far messier than what initially appeared.

The former couple announced their breakup in November 2025 during an Instagram Q⁘A, after several months together, with Hall describing the situation as ⁘a complete cluster f***.⁘

⁘I moved to Temecula with an open heart, but some things came to light that did not align with what I want my and my kids' future to look like,⁘ she said, according to Us Weekly .

The split came shortly after the release of Selling The OC Season 4 , in which the couple appeared to hint at possible marriage plans. ⁘Trying to merge both [lifestyles] is what we're trying to figure out right now. But everything's going great, and I'm still very excited,⁘ Hall previously told Tudum .

Nearly two months after the breakup, Hall opened up further about what happened behind the scenes. ⁘I've been crying on and off all day,⁘ she shared on her podcast, reflecting on the emotional toll of her split from Young.

What began as excitement over moving in together and buying a home in Temecula soon exposed deeper issues, Hall says, that she initially overlooked. ⁘I have overanalyzed every detail of our relationship,⁘ Hall shared on her podcast. ⁘When we got back together that third time, when we bought the house. That's like the honeymoon phase for us.⁘

However, things started to change even before they moved in together. ⁘There is a serious, serious switch with him after the three-month mark. He completely changed. It was like he didn't like me,⁘ she revealed.

⁘I would lessen myself,⁘ she continued, ⁘I was the only one compromising.⁘ Hall also alleged that her trust in Young eroded after she discovered what she described as an inappropriate relationship with his real estate agent , including deleted messages that left her shaken.

We're all happy and healthy.⁘

We don't know what name they've chosen to go with yet, but they previously spoke to PEOPLE about how the name they've chosen sums up their relationship.

⁘We've got a name, but it's remaining top secret, and funny enough, I was pleasantly surprised at how aligned we were very, very early on,⁘ Ollie said. ⁘Probably like the first two or three names, we got the one, and it just shows how aligned we are in like the way we think and everything.⁘ AD added: ⁘We got something. Pretty much as soon as it came out of his mouth, I was like, ⁘Yeah, I like that.'⁘

Timothee Chalamet Scores Best Actor Golden Globe In 'Marty Supreme'

The young Hollywood heartthrob scored his first Golden Globe award for "Marty Supreme," taking best actor in a musical or comedy for the white-knuckle ping-pong movie.

"Wow, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart, I'm in a category of many greats," Chalamet said, acknowledging director Josh Safdie and his co-stars, including "Shark Tank" personality Kevin O'Leary. "If you had told me when I was 19 years old that I'd be thanking Mr. Wonderful from 'Shark Tank,'" earning laughter from O'Leary in the crowd.

He also thanked his dad for teaching him to "always be grateful for what you have. For my parents, for my partner [Kylie Jenner], thank you so much."

Chalamet, 30, trounced stiff competition in the category , which included Hollywood royalty George Clooney ("Jay Kelly"), Ethan Hawke ("Blue Moon") and Leonardo DiCaprio ("One Battle After Another").

The actor has often spoken about DiCaprio as a hero of his and someone he looks up to, in terms of his career longevity and impressive range.

"It's a huge honor," Chalamet told USA TODAY of being in the awards conversation with DiCaprio. "His career speaks for itself and his work in ‘One Battle' is tremendous."

Chalamet has been on a head-spinning awards run ever since his 2017 breakthrough in "Call Me By Your Name," earning five Globe nominations for an eclectic bunch of movies including "A Complete Unknown," "Beautiful Boy" and "Wonka." He has previously garnered two Oscar nominations and is all but assured to net a third for "Marty Supreme."

Directed and co-written by Josh Safdie, the sprawling sports thriller centers on an aspiring table-tennis star named Marty Mauser (Chalamet) as he chases his dreams of playing in the world championships.

The film, which co-stars Gwyneth Paltrow and Tyler, the Creator, has steadily become a box-office phenomenon and awards season juggernaut. Last week, it picked up three Actor Awards nominations from the Screen Actors Guild for best actor, best cast and best supporting actress (Odessa A'zion).

Her accessories are simple yet stylish, including slim sunglasses, hoop earrings, and delicate layered necklaces. She wears her hair in a short, effortless bob, and her makeup looks natural and dewy, matching the easy, laid-back feel of the moment.

An Ex-Judge Who Groped Scarlett Johansson Made A Lewd Comment About A New MCU Star

Project Runway All Stars alum Isaac Mizrahi has once again generated public scrutiny with his latest remarks. Infamous for groping Marvel star Scarlett Johansson , the fashion designer's latest remarks are aimed at another MCU star: Gwyneth Paltrow .

Mizrahi, who is also an actor, plays Paltrow's publicist in Marty Supreme , and recently told PEOPLE :

The designer also added that this is the one thing he remembers about the Iron Man star, apart from finding her hilarious and so good in the movie.

In 2006, during a live red carpet interview at the Golden Globe Awards, Isaac Mizrahi, then a prominent fashion personality and later a Project Runway All Stars judge, grabbed Scarlett Johansson's br**st while commenting on her outfit. The moment aired on television and quickly circulated online.

Johansson, who was 21 at the time, appeared visibly uncomfortable but attempted to laugh off the incident in the moment. In an interview after the incident, Johannson told the Los Angeles Times that Mizrahi's actions were in poor taste .

However, she added that she is not mad at him and that she can take care of herself, as she is from New York. But ScarJo wasn't the only one who had an uncomfortable incident with Mizrahi, as he asked several other actresses on the red carpet uncomfortable questions, such as whether they were wearing any underwear.

His departure coincided with routine cast reshuffling and format changes, a common practice for the franchise. As such, there is no evidence that he faced professional consequences from the show directly related to his on-camera behavior.

Love Island Costing ITV Huge Amount Every Hour As Show Postponed Amid Wildfires

ITV loses a jaw-dropping £15,000 every single hour as Love Island All Stars continues to be postponed amid Cape Town's wildfire emergency. Bosses at the broadcaster announced that the show would be put on hold due to health and safety concerns, with the new series set to premiere tomorrow night.

However, filming has now been cancelled for two days, as the winter villa, Ludus Magnus, was evacuated due to the raging fires in South Africa. The luxurious property is situated in Franschhoek, in South Africa's Western Cape region, and costs a staggering £9,000 per night to rent.

A source told the Sun : “Bosses have no choice but to wait for the area to be deemed completely safe. The desire is to be back as soon as possible, but risk and health and safety assessments are still ongoing.”

⁘The filming for their arrivals/meetings take hours. Safety is priority though and they have plans in place for such situations. But not ideal given the show hasn't even begun.⁘

South Africa's Western and Eastern Cape have been hit by the blaze, with the strong winds and high temperatures fuelling the spread of the fire. While emergency services said on Friday January 9 that significant progress was made overnight in some areas, wildfires in Langrug and Franschhoek areas in the Boland were still burning 'out of control'.

A spokesperson for Cape Winelands District Municipality's Fire Services told SABC News that a military flight had been planned. From that, authorities would be able to assess the full extent of the fire and forecast its direction.

'Bachelorette' Star Tyler Cameron, Florida Native, Visits Jaguars Cheerleaders

⁘Bachelorette⁘ season 15 contestant turned Florida media personality Tyler Cameron stopped by to surprise The ROAR, aka the Jacksonville Jaguars cheerleaders.

The fan-favorite on Bachelorette Hannah Brown's season is not the only familiar name attached to the Jaguars. Both the Jags and the Bills have exciting lists of celebrity fans, from Bills quarterback Josh Allen's wife and award-winning actress and singer Hailee Steinfeld (“Hawkeye,” Marvel's “Into the Spider-verse” films) to award-winning ⁘Ghostbusters,⁘ ⁘Groundhog Day⁘ actor Bill Murray.

Reality show fans, ⁘Bachelor⁘ franchise fans and followers of recent pop culture were introduced to the Florida native in season 15 of ⁘The Bachelorette,⁘ as one of Hannah Brown's potential suitors. At the time of filming, he was 26 years old and listed his occupation as a ⁘general contractor.⁘

Cameron was born and raised in Jupiter, Florida, just 30 minutes outside of West Palm Beach. He graduated from Jupiter Community High School and attended Wake Forest University.

Kardashian Wants To Be 'Frozen And Preserved' To Keep Up Her Youthful Appearance

In a new episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast , the reality star and mom, 41, admitted that she"s "very vain" when it comes to her outlook on aging — that means she'll do what it takes to make sure she shows no signs of it.

⁘As soon as I can be frozen and preserved, sign me up,⁘ the Good American founder said on the Jan. 7 episode.

⁘I don't mind my number. I do not care about aging when it comes the digits,⁘ she said, adding that she can be 104 and as long as she looks youthful, ⁘I'm great.⁘

In June, she addressed all the cosmetic enhancements she has done in response to Jonny Betteridge, an aesthetic doctor and online personality, claiming she had a slew of work done in recent years, including a face and neck lift.

“I take this as a great compliment,” she commented before listing her past tweaks. Included were a nose job Dr. Raj Kanodia and Botox and sculptra where the tumor on her cheek was removed.

Beyond her aesthetics, Kardashian has remained young at heart, especially when it comes to her style.

In 2024, she rang in her 40th birthday with a fashionable saloon-themed party that saw her clad in bling and a sexy denim look. And while she hasn't stepped onto a red carpet since May 2025, she's kept the bold moments coming.

AMERICAN IDOL Alum Celebrates ⁘Reward

Former AMERICAN IDOL contestant Clark Beckham pushed back against the idea that marriage has to be difficult. 

“When I was engaged and I would tell people I was engaged, for some reason, all anyone wanted to tell me was how difficult marriage was going to be,” he said in a recent Instagram video. 

Beckham shared that people would ask him if he was “sure” and told him there would be lots of sacrifices and other issues he and his wife would have to face. 

However, after the singer-songwriter got married, he said things were “pretty sweet” and never seemed to get harder. 

“[That's] what marriage can be like when you put the other person first over and over and over again,” he wrote in the post's caption. “It's hard, but when a running back scores a touchdown, you never hear him complain about how hard he had to run to get there. It's what he was built for and the reward DRASTICALLY outweighs the effort and sacrifice. Fiancé's! Get excited! It's going to be a blast!”

“I've told her many times that she's the most important thing in the world to me and if she ever needed me while I was on the road, I'd be on a plane back home, no questions asked,” he told PEOPLE of juggling marriage and his career. “I'm committed to having a successful marriage and family more than a successful career. She needs to see that.”

He continued, “Signing with NCS Records is both an honor and a responsibility that I cherish. Not only do I see it as an opportunity to help define what this new chapter for NCS looks like, but they've looked me in the eye and said, ‘We believe in you.' That makes me want to run through a wall. And figuratively, I intend to.”

Beckham's advice for the newly-engaged is a reminder that the benefits of marriage far outweigh any small problems couples might face.

Selling The OC's Alex Hall Details ‘Hardest Breakup' From Ex BF Ian Young After ‘Gaslighting' And...

Two months after Alex Hall confirmed her split from boyfriend Ian Young , she is breaking down what really happened — and why it was the “hardest” split she's had.

“I've been crying on and off all day,” Hall, 35, told Selling the OC stars Fiona Belle on the Tuesday, January 6, episode of her “ Pretty Dirty With Alex Hall ” podcast.

She pointed to their brief move-in together, Young's alleged texts with his real estate agent and more as the reason they called it quits before the holidays.

“Going through a breakup with somebody who you have this vision of every single thing you're going to do — it's like the beginning of the love,” she said, comparing her relationship with Young, whom she just moved in with before their breakup, to her ex-husband. “So with me being married for seven years, [that was] the end of that chapter. I had already wrapped my head around it.”

With Young it was different, because they were heading toward an engagement and happily, ever after. “But with this breakup from Ian, my heart is shattered and in a million pieces on the floor,” Hall said.

A With Session One 2026 Lyric Contest Winner Chris Nelson

Chris Nelson scored 1st place in the Session One 2026 American Songwriter Lyric Contest for his song ⁘Heaven Ain't The First Place.” American Songwriter caught up with him to get the scoop on the inspiration behind his lyrics and other musings.

I've always believed that a great song should stand on its own, even stripped down to nothing but words on a page. The American Songwriter Lyric Contest has always been the purest place to test that belief. It isn't about production, trends or who has the loudest guitar—it's about whether the story, the emotion, and the honesty actually land with the audience.

“Heaven Ain't the First Place” came from a very real place for me as it is about a best friend I lost in my senior year of high school. I wanted to see if the lyrics could connect with people who didn't know me, my voice, or my story. Entering the contest was really about putting the writing itself in the spotlight and letting it speak for itself. When a song can hold its own that way, you know you've written something special.

Love Island All Stars S3 Cast: Confirmed Line-up And Verdict On Who Will Couple Up

We have just under one week to go until the new series of Love Island: All Stars begins and we now have our starting line-up.

On Monday 5th January, the first 12 Islanders for this year's show were revealed - including season seven winner Millie Court and season 10 fave Whitney Adebayo.

With the line-up now revealed, rumours are swirling about who might join them with not one, but FOUR bombshells already said to be packed and in South Africa .

As we wait for the new series to begin, read on for everything you need to know about this year's cast, including who we think should couple up.

Season 10 star Whitney is making a comeback on the ITV2 dating show, following her bitter split from her Lochan Nowacki which saw the pair locked in a legal battle.

Asked why she returned to the show, Whit who owns her own wig company, said: ⁘A new start and what better place than home? Back to the Villa! Last year was something… so a fresh start in the place that started it all for new memories and experiences.⁘

Our verdict: Whitney brought top-tier energy back in season 10, so we're expecting nothing less from the All Stars favourite. She's already good friends with Shaq - but could that turn into something more in the villa? And we can definitely see her having the same kind of effortless banter with Tommy and Sean too.

⁘I felt really grateful to experience the Villa over four years ago - why would I not want to experience it again?⁘ she said.

The Bachelor alum—who was the reality dating series' lead for its 16th season in 2012 —and his wife welcomed their first baby just before the end of the year, the couple confirmed.

“B aby boy Flajnik made us a family of three on December 22,” the couple wrote in a joint Instagram post Jan. 1 . “He has shown us a new level of love we didn't know was possible. Our hearts are forever changed.”

Throughout their years together, t he couple have shared periodic updates on their romance, including a trip to Paris in March 2025, and a second wedding in Slovenia to honor their heritage in November 2024.

And while Ben finally found his happily ever only after the last petal fell on his romance with Courtney Robertson , to whom he was briefly engaged in 2012 following during his season of The Bachelor , he told E! News in 2022 that he still looks back at his time on the show “fondly.”

“ It's a part of my past,” he said, adding of his failed romance with Courtney, “It's totally fine. We made amends a number of years ago. We didn't speak for a while, but my sister still chats with her.”

While none of the potentially implicated moms have spoken out, one celebrity husband has since come to his wife's defense.

Kim Kardashian Posts About Puppies Despite PETA Backlash

Meanwhile, the younger siblings crawled along the floor trying to keep up with a dark-haired pup darting around the room. The final video captured Kardashian smiling beside Chicago as they each held puppies and waved to the camera.

While the videos were lighthearted, the decision drew criticism from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk said in a statement to PEOPLE that puppies shouldn't be treated like “plushies” and suggested that Kardashian could have used her platform to encourage shelter adoption instead. The organization's comments reflected broader backlash on social media.

Luke Bryan Spills A Surprising Fact He Learned About Carrie Underwood While Filming ‘American Idol'

In December, the “Play it Again” hitmaker, 49, appeared on SiriusXM's Cody's Crash My Christmas Party on The Highway and shared a surprising tidbit about the “Before He Cheats” singer, 42.

“She is the most on-time person you have ever met,” he said, according to Country Now . “I'm talking about punctual, dialed in, professional. I'm talking about, like, one minute before, like Bill Belichick taught her how to show up on time.”

Bryan — who has been a judge on the hit singing competition since 2018 — shared that Underwood is the first person at the judging table each morning.

“And so, I mean, I'm in my dressing room, and I'm pretty good, but then I'm like, and you can look on the monitor and see who's in the chair already,” he explained. “And it's, let's say it's 9:03, and there's Carrie, ready, looking at her nails…. So, just her punctuality.”

“This is our second year that we've started together and just getting to know her and her family dynamic,” he remarked. “I mean, having two boys, it's really fun to hear the stories going on around their household.”

As Star previously reported, Bryan reflected on working with Underwood in a July interview with Taste of Country Nights.

“Last year was really, really incredible with Carrie and Lionel [ Riche ] and Ryan [ Seacrest ],” he told the outlet. “And the main thing is just, have fun with American Idol and have fun with the kids [contestants].”

Melora Hardin Reflects On Dancing With The Stars Exit And Calls It A Reality Show

Melora Hardin has reflected on her Dancing With the Stars exit, describing the ABC competition as “not a dance show. It seems like it's a dance competition show, but it's not a dance competition show, it's a reality show,” and suggesting that her decision not to perform in pointe shoes may have cost her a spot in the finale.

Hardin, 58, competed on Dancing With the Stars Season 30 in 2021 with pro Artem Chigvintsev, making it to the semifinals before being eliminated in week nine, just short of the finale.

Four years later, in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published January 2, 2026, she shared her unfiltered take on the experience, calling it eye‑opening and personally fulfilling despite the early exit.

She explained that while the producers of Dancing With the Stars “want their celebrities to be happy,” their main objective is 

Hardin noted that the team behind Dancing With the Stars is constantly “feeling you out” to see “where you are with things” as a contestant. She added, 

After Hardin's elimination, four couples earned spots in the Dancing With the Stars Season 30 finale: Amanda Kloots and Alan Bersten finished in fourth place, Cody Rigsby and Cheryl Burke in third place, JoJo Siwa and Jenna Johnson in second place, and Iman Shumpert and Daniella Karagach won the mirrorball trophy.

Despite missing out on the top prize, Hardin said she enjoyed the journey on Dancing With the Stars and found it deeply suited to her personality. She shared: 

A ‘Smart Move' Or Not? Aman Gupta And Kunal Bahl Clash Over Dessert Brand...

Shark Tank India 5 is all set to premiere on January 5, and with the latest promos from the show, it seems things will start on an intense note. In one of the promos, ⁘sharks' Aman Gupta and Kunal Bahl will be seen disagreeing over a pitch by a dessert brand. In another promo, Anupam Mittal, Mohit Yadav and Namita Thapar are seen calling out a brand for its unethical practices.

In the first promo, The Croffle Guys founders, Rahul Vohra, Annanya Agarwal, Veer Pinto and Amay Thakkar, are seen pitching their dessert brand in an upcoming episode of Shark Tank India Season 5. After trying the product, Aman Gupta didn't seem very convinced with their idea of introducing croissant-shaped waffles to the market. As he tried the snack, he said, ⁘Basically, this is a waffle.⁘ Kunal also pointed out, ⁘You must have seen how well The Belgian Waffle Co has been doing.⁘ Just then, one of the founders, Rahul, will reveal that their first location will be opened right opposite Belgian Waffle. While this received a thumbs up from Namita Thapar, Aman Gupta went on to call it a ⁘smart move.⁘

Love Island's Indiyah Polack And Dami Hope Split After 3 Years

Love Island 2022 stars Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack have left fans heartbroken after revealing their split.

Dami Hope and Indiyah Polack had become a firm favourite couple among Love Island fans, after finding each other in the 2022 series, where Ekin-Su Culculoglu and Davide Sanclimenti were crowned the winners.

According to the Daily Mail , they called it quits over the Christmas period after three years together, for reasons not yet known. Just days prior, they'd celebrated Indiyah's birthday together.

“It's been a difficult time for them both, they built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.

“They have no plans to enter the Love Island: All Stars villa. Indiyah is focused on co-hosting the podcast, while Dami isn't interested, knowing it would be an unforgivable level of disrespect.”

They were last seen together at Indiyah's December birthday celebrations, with Dami featuring in a post all about her special meal on 17th December, however in Dami's end-of-year Instagram post his girlfriend was absent from the photos.

He captioned his post: “A year full of memories, milestones, losses and growth you can't always explain out loud. I've hit goals I once only dreamed about, yet I still catch myself asking, ‘Why don't I feel content?'

“Not everything ends clean, but it ends clear. 2026 is about peace, progress, motion and exercising my free will daily.”

Kim Kardashian is starting 2026 on shaky ground. After what an insider called her “worst” year yet, the Skims founder is feeling “defeated” and concerned she may never find love again, the Daily Mail reported on Thursday, January 1.

On paper, Kardashian's 2025 was full of milestones. She graduated law school, landed her first acting role in Ryan Murphy 's legal series All Fair , and the show was recently picked up for a second season.

This year “has been so trying that she does not know what she will do if 2026 is worse,” claimed the insider.

“It's not easy, no matter what, co-parenting with anyone — it's just the one thing that gets me is that there's this narrative that I keep the kids away from him. I've never once done that,” she said.

As A Huge Fan Of The Bachelor Franchise, Here Are 6 Things From 2025 That I'm Still Not Over

For fans of reality dating shows, there are so many options, and the 2026 TV schedule won't be an exception. From raunchier series like Love Island to gimmicky hits like Love Is Blind , there's never a shortage of people willing to go on TV in hopes of finding love. The Bachelor franchise, for instance, has been around for over two decades, and as a longtime fan, let me assure you that 2025 was a pretty eventful year.

Across The Bachelor and all of its spinoffs, the past 12 months have brought us engagements, breakups, weddings, scandals and headlines that have the potential to change the trajectory of ABC's dating franchise. Here are 6 things that happened within Bachelor Nation in 2025 that I'm still not over.

Shortly after Grant Ellis' season of The Bachelor wrapped earlier this year, the shocking announcement was made that The Bachelorette would not air in 2025. Allegations of a toxic workplace culture followed soon after, and co-EPs Michael Margolis and Keely Booth resigned. Ultimately, executive producers Claire Freeland and Bennett Graebner also parted ways with the franchise.

It wasn't just the ones at the top, though, who were replaced. No Bachelorette season meant no jobs for the rest of the producers, and when Bachelor in Paradise returned for Season 10 this summer, it featured new showrunner Scott Teti and an entirely new production crew.

With all fresh faces behind the scenes, it's no surprise that Bachelor in Paradise Season 10 looked different than what Bachelor Nation fans were used to. The biggest change, however, came midway through the season, when host Jesse Palmer announced that no new arrivals would be entering the game. The couples were locked in and would spend the rest of the season competing for up to $500,000 .

This was a huge issue for longtime fans, who continue to value contestants going on the show “for the right reasons,” i.e. for love, rather than money or clout. Some of the cast members took issue as well, especially those who weren't romantically involved with their partner but were forced to compete as couples anyway. The big swings didn't pay off, in my opinion, and it didn't help that the “love or money” ultimatum at the end made absolutely no sense.
