Madison Beer reflects on her iconic “I was supposed to be in the video” meme: “It really was that serious. But you have to realize that back then it was not received well. People were hating on me and ripping me apart for it and saying I was the cringiest person alive. Like, why would I lie about it? The truth is, I was just overly excited about it. I was surrounded by fans who were being so sweet and supportive. thank u, next had just come out and I thought I was spilling tea. I was so mad about people calling me a liar that i thought about providing proof multiple times, but it was a good learning curve for me to ignore everyone’s opinions.”

Nia Long reveals her relationship with her children’s fathers is in a good place, saying she’s past the hump and has forgiven because she didn’t want to go to the dark side of separation. She also says the Ime Udoka scandal was the best thing that ever happened to her because it allowed her to reflect on all the wonderful things she had done throughout the relationship. “It was the best thing that ever happened to me because it allowed me to pause. It allowed me to pause and look at all the wonderful things that I had done throughout the time that I was in that relationship. But now I can pour everything back into myself. So it's not about him. It wasn't about the headlines. It wasn't about the opinions. It wasn't about the trash ass assistant. It wasn't about any of that. It was about how do I preserve what's left and the new way my family is now Like, who are we now? Cos I could just walk away and never talk to you ever again and how does that affect my son? No, I'm not going to do that. But I'm going to also be forgiving and be your friend. And that's good. That's healthy.”

Lena the Plug shared how her scene with Jason Luv improved her marriage. She said she learned things about herself that she wouldn’t have known until she did it and the experience brought her and her husband Adam22 closer “I was scared for Adam to see any of the content, then I was also exited to show him. Like it turned me on to know that he was gonna watch it and and it also turned him on and I don’t think he expected to be that turned on by it— it wasn’t like a thing that Adam was tryna take his ownership of me back or anything.”

Caller: "Okay. So, I've been with my wife for, we've been together since we were 14, for 14 years. I'm 32, I met her when I was 19, we had a child at 20. And, um, I've always just kind of been a butthead to her, to be honest. Every now and then I would demean her or make little comments, and I would say it started to really get bad about six weeks ago. Um, we were doing some work in the yard, and I really just blew up on her over the stupidest little thing. And then about a week later, we're just constantly arguing and dividing from each other. And then about a week or two later, she told me that she thought she was falling out of love with me. And it just really crushed me. I never would have thought that those words could come out of her mouth, and she told me that the way I treat her is, I'm not treating her the right way. And I completely owned it. I mean, I said everything you said is absolutely correct. You know, and I said, 'I don't want my son, our son growing up thinking that this is how you're supposed to treat women.' And, I mean, since that day, I have treated her like an angel. I mean, I've done everything and just constantly telling her I love her, giving her hugs, kisses. Um, but that was a Saturday night, and then Monday night she ended up telling me that she was, um, in communication with a guy she met on TikTok. And she told me she broke it off with him, and I asked her, What was the subjects about?' And she said it was just somebody to talk to about what I'm going through, my mental, you know, health. And she said it was never anything flirtatious or anything like that. She said it was just a stranger that I could talk to, but she said, 'I broke it off with him, and I'm gonna focus on us. And I said, 'I'm all in with you, let's rebuild this.' And we went about two weeks and it was just absolute honeymoon phase. I mean, we were just, never it was great. And then I went through her phone two weeks after that and found that she was on Snapchat with the guy. And I confronted her about it, and she said, 'Okay, well, I didn't think you were really gonna change, and I wanted to keep this friendship with the guy.' And she said, 'I'll break it off with him.' And I'm like, 'Okay, I guess I'll give you a second chance. I'm kind of heartbroken again that you would keep this from me. And then about a week and a half later, which was just yesterday, I went through the call logs on which, I feel bad because I'm constantly digging at all this, but every time I dig, I find something. And I confronted her yesterday that she's been talking to this guy for 30, 40, 50 minutes a day, um, the last week and a half, after she told me a third time that she was breaking it off with him. And I'm just super confused. I don't really know how to handle this. Now she's saying that she's all done talking to him, and I'm like, 'Well, how do I trust you now? You've been lying to me for the past three weeks about this.' So, that's really all I got." John Delony: "So for 14 years... you belittled your wife. She got the clear message she was beneath you. You're the smart one, you're the fast one, you're the quick one. You are the provider, you're the all this stuff." Caller: "Mhm. I always thought she was beneath me." John Delony: "Yeah, you did. And she's got that message for, for a decade and a half.

Zach Campbell reveals that he knew about Leigh-Anne’s difficulties with Warner Records before she left the label in his new video titled “The ‘Black Girl’ In The Group: Katseye DRAMA Explained”: “I want to bring up my girl Leigh-Anne’s independent album that just came out, My Ego Told Me To. It hit #1 on the UK iTunes Chart. I’m very proud of her, she’s been working her ass off. She left that Warner label, and I remember talking to her about that and how unhappy she was on that label. They did not believe in her at all. I’m just being honest with you – they did not believe in her at all. I watched it firsthand, how they handled her. So I’m so happy that she finally has ahold of her own identity and she can tell her stories the way she wants to tell her stories. And if I have to be completely honest with you… She had another girl in the group – that’s no longer in the group at all – that we do not really bring up… Leigh-Anne has always been ‘the Black girl’ in the group.”

wang yajia was on live again today and shared anecdotes of how kind lusi is to her 🥹🩷 "lusi asked me, "what eye cream do you use? your eyes are a little dry" and then she had it delivered to me immediately. i actually talked about this while i was filming my unboxing vlog but omitted the scene during editing because i was afraid that whatever i say would bring her any inconvenience.... that eye cream is very expensive. i wouldn't have been able to afford to buy it for myself... but then again, it was due to me overthinking that i wasn't able to talk about her goodness & mention all the times she was kind to me. wouldn't that be opposite of my intention? so i think that there are some things that i can share about her with everyone... and lusi has always encouraged me to be expressive of my feelings. because i always restrain myself from expressing myself with the fears of "what if i said that and..." "what happens when i..." but lusi told me to just be myself"

Bronwyn says she was not expelled from BYU for being pregnant. She explains she was placed on a suspension and ultimately chose not to work her way back in. Bronwyn also opens up about her relationship with the Mormon church. She compares it to her neighbours. She knows them, they live around her, and she wishes them well, but she does not really engage with them. She says the church was not awful to her personally, while acknowledging that many others have experienced serious trauma. Because much of her family still attends the church, she tries to remain positive or neutral for their sake. She also discusses her advocacy for LGBTQ+ youth, saying, “I talk a lot about gender affirming care as a place where somebody might feel comfortable, but for me I would rather just call it care. Whatever care your friend, child, partner, or neighbour needs, they should have. That is how I feel about it full stop.” Bronwyn explains why she chooses to live in Utah despite her husband working in New York and having businesses in New York or LA. She says, “I think my voice is needed in Utah. Not to pat myself on the back, but I think we need people who are willing to say, ‘I feel differently, and here is why.’” #RHOSLC Podcast: Lovett or Leave It

Lady Gaga spoke about her grandmother, Angelina Calderone Germanotta, who passed away earlier this month, before dedicating “Joanne” to her during Night 3 of the MAYHEM Ball in Barcelona: “My grandmother passed away. But she actually passed about a week ago, and I didn’t say anything ’cause I just wanted to keep it private with my family. But it became more public today. It’s hard when these big changes happen in your life and they’re not private, when family is such a private thing. But I wrote an album many years ago for my family called Joanne. My grandmother that passed away — her daughter passed away when she was very young, and her daughter’s name was Joanne. That’s who the album was about, that’s who the song is about. Needless to say, that my grandmother’s passing, as well as my other grandmother’s passing too — this was very big for our family. But I was thinking about how strong she was, and what a hard, hard thing that she endured, and all the strength that she gave to our whole family, and the strength that she taught me. So last week I decided to play “Joanne” during the show, and I didn’t know that she was gonna pass away. It was just a coincidence. But when it happened, it felt like she was talking to me. So, I thought since some people now know that my grandma passed, I’d like to just share this moment with you, and I would like to sing “Joanne” for my grandma — my father’s mother.” 🎥: notolsennchris/TikTok

Kamala Harris recalls how “unbelievable” it was for Biden to call her before her debate with Trump and make the call “all about himself.” She expected a pep talk from Biden to “go get him.” Instead, she got a call that blindsided her: Biden hijacked the moment to vent about rumors that she’d been “saying bad things” about him. STEVEN BARTLETT: “If someone called me in the lead-up to debate prep and said something like that to me, I would assume that they don’t want the best for me.” KAMALA HARRIS: “My takeaway is his motivation was all about himself.”

Over the years, many of you have joined me in celebrating this truly special girl turned young woman, Maddie. I am heartbroken to share with you that Maddie has passed away at the age of 21. I’m sharing a glimpse into my friendship with Maddie because I want people to know how truly special she was. I met Maddie when Kevin and I were filming Kevin Can Wait. Make-A-Wish America reached out and told us that a young girl’s wish was to meet us. I was so touched. This beautiful little girl was a fan of King of Queens? And we of course said yes. Maddie and her family came to visit us on set, and what started as a meet-and-greet turned into a real, almost decade-long, lasting friendship. Maddie would text me almost every day. She sent me funny videos, shared stories about her life, and came out to LA with her family, where I attempted to get her to expand her palate (though she always circled back to her favorite, a Caesar salad). We shared many beautiful moments that have kept me positive in moments of difficulty and darkness, and she was about to come to LA again, where I planned on celebrating her for her birthday and her recent accomplishments. Maddie had Spinal Muscular Atrophy type two (SMA), but she never let it define her. She was excited to begin advocacy work and had recently told me she was officially going to start speaking publicly about her experiences, not even for herself, but to help others. She had big dreams, and I was so proud watching her grow into the leader I always knew she was. Maddie loved her family and friends fiercely. For her young age, she would prefer to be with friends and family, playing games and our favorite, Phase 10. She loved all things girly: nails, hair, makeup, the Timberwolves. And she hated snow (though she lived in Minnesota), and more importantly, she loved helping people. She wrote me love notes daily, and I only hope I had let her know how much joy she brought me. It is me who hopes that she knew how much I loved her. I received this text from her friend Emma, whom I knew from the many funny videos Maddie sent me of the two of them. I’ve included it below. After flying to Minnesota to say goodbye (although she had already passed while I was in the air), I wanted her to know what she meant to me. That she was thinking of me in this way and wanted me to have the things she mentioned, that she cared so much, is also truly touching and heartbreaking. Maddie had so much life ahead of her. Her disease didn’t stop her spirit or dim her light. She was hopeful, brilliant, and genuinely excited for her future. I will miss her texts, her videos, and hearing from her every day. They always made me smile. I will miss her humor and the light she brought into this world every single day. Maddie had just turned 21. Her little body just couldn’t contain the big, beautiful life she was living. She was a force, taken too soon. If you feel moved, it would mean the world to her to support the cause she believed in so passionately: finding a cure for spinal muscular atrophy. Link to support Cure SMA is in my bio.

She sent me funny videos, shared stories about her life, and came out to LA with her family, where I attempted to get her to expand her palate (though she always circled back to her favorite, a Caesar salad). We shared many beautiful moments that have kept me positive in moments of difficulty and darkness, and she was about to come to LA again, where I planned on celebrating her for her birthday and her recent accomplishments. Maddie had Spinal Muscular Atrophy type two (SMA), but she never let it define her. She was excited to begin advocacy work and had recently told me she was officially going to start speaking publicly about her experiences, not even for herself, but to help others. She had big dreams, and I was so proud watching her grow into the leader I always knew she was. Maddie loved her family and friends fiercely. For her young age, she would prefer to be with friends and family, playing games and our favorite, Phase 10. She loved all things girly: nails, hair, makeup, the Timberwolves. And she hated snow (though she lived in Minnesota), and more importantly, she loved helping people. She wrote me love notes daily, and I only hope I had let her know how much joy she brought me. It is me who hopes that she knew how much I loved her. I received this text from her friend Emma, whom I knew from the many funny videos Maddie sent me of the two of them. I’ve included it below. After flying to Minnesota to say goodbye (although she had already passed while I was in the air), I wanted her to know what she meant to me. That she was thinking of me in this way and wanted me to have the things she mentioned, that she cared so much, is also truly touching and heartbreaking. Maddie had so much life ahead of her. Her disease didn’t stop her spirit or dim her light. She was hopeful, brilliant, and genuinely excited for her future. I will miss her texts, her videos, and hearing from her every day. They always made me smile. I will miss her humor and the light she brought into this world every single day. Maddie had just turned 21. Her little body just couldn’t contain the big, beautiful life she was living. She was a force, taken too soon. If you feel moved, it would mean the world to her to support the cause she believed in so passionately: finding a cure for spinal muscular atrophy. Link to support Cure SMA is in my bio.
