How things can change in a year! On April 7, 2025, JoJo Siwa met Chris Hughes for the first time in the Celebrity Big Brother house — and now, the pair are head over heels in love. To mark the milestone, Siwa naturally staged an over-the-top surprise: a theatrical performance and live music video shoot for her new song “Serendipity,” complete with 86 dancers, 24 hidden cameras and plenty of sparkle. Siwa, 22, says the song’s title perfectly describes her relationship with Hughes, 33. “I think over time, when I saw him with my family and I got in with his family, that made things clear,” Siwa tells Us of realizing she had a real romantic connection with the Love Island alum, whom she initially saw as a new “best…

Nearly two decades after their divorce, Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson found themselves on the same flight from L.A. to Hawaii on March 29 — but they managed to make the best of a potentially awkward situation. “They actually did say hello, and it was a nice, cordial conversation,” a source tells Us. (Lachey’s wife, Vanessa, and Simpson’s estranged husband, Eric Johnson, were also reportedly on the plane.) The former Newlyweds stars infamously went through a high-profile separation in 2005 following the “With You” singer’s “emotional affair” with her Dukes of Hazzard costar Johnny Knoxville. “I wish we were the kind of people who could divorce and stay friends,” she wrote in her 2020 memoir, Open Book. “We weren’t, and I regret that my actions hurt him.” Simpson, 45, and…

Savannah Guthrie returned to Today on April 6 as her mother, Nancy, remains missing. The journalist, 54, told viewers it was “good to be home” before turning to coanchor Craig Melvin and saying, “Ready or not, let’s do the news.” A source tells Us the crew is “very happy” to have Guthrie back, though she’ll “have to take it day by day.” (The Emmy winner recently admitted to Hoda Kotb, “I don’t know if I can do it… but I would like to try.”) Guthrie spent weeks in Arizona to help with the investigation into her 84-year-old mom’s Feb. 1 abduction, but police have yet to come up with any leads. “No one knows what the future holds,” the source notes, “but they are working with her to see how…

Ambyr Childers needed a change. In the wake of a high-profile split from producer Randall Emmett — they divorced in 2017 after years of rumors of his affair with Vanderpump Rules’ Lala Kent — the actress was struggling. She self-medicated her anxiety and depression with alcohol and Xanax, and when she realized numbing out wasn’t working, she got sober. “There was a lot of grief I didn’t feel post-divorce and now I do,” Childers, 37, tells Us. “I’m healing, and it’s a beautiful thing.” The You and Ray Donovan actress’ self-discovery quest led her to Montana, where she lives with her and Emmets daughters: London, 16, and Rylee, 12. “I needed a place of quiet,” she says. “I needed a place to hear myself again… It’s helped me rebuild myself…

The mint julep has been the signature drink of Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby for nearly a century. Woodford Reserve serves as the presenting sponsor of the Kentucky Derby and the official bourbon of Churchill Downs. Each year, more than 125,000 mint juleps are enjoyed by fans over the two-day period of Kentucky Oaks and Kentucky Derby weekend at Churchill Downs Racetrack. That’s a feat that requires more than 10,000 bottles of Kentucky bourbon, 2,250 pounds of freshly harvested mint and 475,000 pounds of ice!…

A Old MacDonald could never. Season 4 of the hit Fox reality show Farmer Wants a Wife premieres April 21, with three leading men (down from the usual four): Braden Pridemore, Brett Maverick and Sean Cavanaugh. Once again, host Kimberly Paisley-Williams will be there for the guys as big-city gals compete for their love — and a few are in for the usual culture shock. “I think there’s a lot of misconceptions about what I do,” Pridemore, 26, says. “People think you just hop on a tractor and plant [a crop], then wait a few months and take it out. But there’s so much involved. Being a farmer, you’ve got to be a businessman, an agronomist, a mechanic — you’ve got to be all these things.” (An agronomist, for anyone…

Is there anything Ariana Madix can’t do? From Vanderpump Rules to Broadway’s Chicago and hosting Love Island USA, she’s now onto cardiothoracic surgery! Or… at least playing cardiothoracic surgeon Dr. Brooke Emerson — ex of goofball egomaniac Dr. Bruce Schweitz (Josh Lawson) — on NBC hit St. Denis Medical. Madix, 40, talked to Us about reprising her role for the April 6 season finale. What has it been like to play a character across multiple episodes? This is my first recurring [scripted role]. St. Denis is one of the best shows we have right now. It’s the type of show I always wanted to be a part of, so for them to have me around for a few episodes has been awesome. Describe Brooke. She’s no-nonsense and has earned her…

“I don’t know what I’d do without these guys,” admitted Michelle Pfeiffer, sharing throwback snaps with her younger sisters, Dedee and Lauren, and older brother, Rick. “I have two sisters, and they’ve shown up for me during all of my difficult times,” said the Madison actress. “Nobody can push my buttons like them — and nobody can make me laugh until my guts split open.” We’re sure the feeling is mutual!…

After tying the knot in October, Stephen Colletti and Alex Weaver are expecting their first child — and they couldn’t be more thrilled. “I’ve had the privilege of witnessing my nieces and nephew grow up through my sister’s [lens], and just watching [her] family unit. I know with Alex, we’re gonna be able to form something similar,” Colletti, 40, told Us ahead of The Reunion: Laguna Beach. “We’re just excited for the adventure.” The One Tree Hill alum went on to gush over how Weaver — “a freaking champ” — is handling pregnancy. “I’m so impressed with the way she’s gone about this,” he says of the NASCAR reporter, 32. “She’s just this beautiful woman that’s got this belly that’s baking this little baby in there. I think it’s so badass……

After months of turmoil, Taylor Frankie Paul has secured two legal victories. During a virtual April 7 court appearance, a Utah judge granted the embattled  Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star’s request for a temporary restraining order against her ex Dakota Mortensen and approved eight hours of supervised visits with their 2-year-old son, Ever, per week. Mortensen, 33, already has his own protective order against Paul, 31, and previously won full custody of Ever following their February domestic violence incident. Ahead of the hearing, Paul — who pleaded guilty to assaulting Mortensen in 2023 — filed exhibits to bolster her defense that her ex has also been abusive, including photos of bruises she sustained after he allegedly slammed her head into the dashboard of his truck and a screenshot of…

Jennie Garth grew up in front of the world, but starring on beloved TV shows like Beverly Hills, 90210 and What I Like About You wasn’t always a walk in the park. In her second memoir, I Choose Me (out now), the actress, 54, gets real about self-worth, heartbreak, grief and ultimately finding joy again. Here, Us rounds up the biggest revelations. PLASTIC SURGERY Garth reveals she underwent a breast augmentation at age 24 after welcoming her first daughter, Luca. “My body had changed,” she writes. “I felt self-conscious about how I looked, and I wanted to do something to reclaim the confidence I’d once had.” While at the plastic surgeon, she also had liposuction to remove the “saddlebags” on her hips. LUKE PERRY CRUSH Garth recalls an instant attraction to…

It’s been 20 years since the Malcolm in the Middle series finale, and guess what: Life is still unfair. At least, that’s what Frankie Muniz’s title character thinks when Hulu’s four-episode revival picks up on April 10. There he is, enjoying life with daughter Leah (Keeley Karsten) and girlfriend Tristan (Kiana Madeira), happily estranged from his chaotic kin. Then disaster strikes: He’s forced to see his family for his parents’ 40th wedding anniversary. Though the last thing Malcolm wants is a reunion, the Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair cast couldn’t wait to get together. “It is pretty extraordinary,” Bryan Cranston, who plays inept patriarch Hal, tells Us. “Not only did the set give us a sense of déjà vu, but when we had our first table read with…

• Michelle Pfeiffer as a former Hooters waitress! Elle Fanning as an adult-content creator! TV queen Nicole Kidman as a pro wrestler turned lawyer, pigtails and bedazzled leotard included! In the offbeat Margo’s Got Money Troubles (April 15, Apple TV), Fanning is the titular Margo, a student whose dreams of being a writer are derailed when her English professor (Michael Angarano) gets her pregnant. She’s cast out of her college life and must start anew with limited help from her mother, Shayanne (Pfeiffer). Because of the aforementioned money troubles, Margo’s pretty desperate, so she decides to set up an Only-Fans account to make some cash. Turns out, she’s really quite good at it! There are certainly some NSFW scenes over the series’ eight episodes, which are based on Rufi Thorpe’s…

When Marie Serneholt reached out to her former A*Teens bandmates, Sara Lum-holdt, Dhani Lennevald and Amit Paul, to get dinner in 2023 to celebrate their 25th anniversary, she had no ulterior motives. “We never, ever thought we would get back together,” Serneholt, 42, tells Us. But within weeks, the Swedish pop foursome — who got their start as an AB-BA tribute group in 1998 before releasing original music, including early-aughts hits “Upside Down” and “Floorfiller” — found themselves back on stage: In 2024, they were special guests at the Swedish music competition Melodi-festivalen, and they returned to compete in January, performing their first new song in 22 years, “Iconic.” The reaction from fans was electric. “We’re like, ‘Oh, my God. I can’t believe we get to do this!’” Lumholdt, 41,…

1. My favorite season is fall. Football, hunting season and that cool air just feels like home. 2. My most vivid childhood memory is spending time with my grandpas. They just so happened to be great friends. 3. When I’m not on the road, I like to spend Saturdays at the farm hunting, fishing, writing music and just soaking in the time I get there. 4. I’m a night owl; that is when everything comes alive. Plus, I have a bar in Nashville, the Duck Blind, so of course I love nighttime. 5. My Marshals acting debut came about because I love a challenge. I met Luke Grimes and he encouraged me to go for it. I am so happy I did. 6. My celeb crush used to be Jennifer Aniston.…

For Selma Blair, bed has taken on a deeper meaning. “When I was really not doing great with MS years ago, I was in bed a lot, and I got this beautiful care package [from Mersea],” the actress, who just launched a sleepwear collection with the clothing brand, tells Us. “I would look at their Instagram and there were so many things that gave me some hope. So when I did start recovering, I reached out. It came about because I love them and [their products and photos] inspired me so much.” Besides luxe loungewear, she shares what else is on her mind these days. What time do you wake up and go to bed each night? Depends on my son [Arthur, 14]. I go to bed probably at 11…

Our TV screens are filled with plenty of sexy first responders, but there’s just something about Fire Country’s Jake Crawford (played by the 35-year-old Nickelodeon alum) that gets Us hot and bothered. “He’s a big softie,” Calloway tells Us about the firefighter turned Station 42 captain. “He has a lot of heart.” Four seasons in, the actor still has plenty of story ideas for Jake on his wishlist — including a “dark” arc. Sign Us up!…

Céline Dion is “already hard at work” on her upcoming Paris concerts, a music insider tells Us. “She wants high production and high fashion, but, most importantly, an emotional connection to the audience. She missed her fans so much.” Dion announced on March 30 — her 58th birthday — that she’d return to the stage for 10 shows in September and October. Demand was so high that she added six more nights before tickets even went on sale. After all, the powerhouse vocalist hasn’t performed a full concert since 2020; she postponed her Courage World Tour during the pandemic and then canceled it entirely after being diagnosed with stiff person syndrome. “She’s finally feeling like herself again — physically, mentally and vocally,” the insider shares. “She always knew deep down…

Kanye West’s past is getting in the way of his future. The U.K.’s Home Office has blocked the rapper, 48, from traveling across the pond to headline all three nights of Wireless Festival in July, telling the BBC that his “presence would not be conducive to the public good.” As a result, organizers announced on April 7 that the event had been canceled altogether. Both decisions came after major sponsors, including Pepsi and PayPal, dropped out of the rap festival in response to West’s booking. “Multiple stake-holders were consulted in advance of booking Ye, and no concerns were highlighted at the time,” Wireless claimed in a statement, adding that it recognizes the “real and personal impact” that the Grammy winner’s history of antisemitic comments has had on the Jewish…

Blake Lively is shaking off the stunning dismissal of her sexual harassment claims against It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. After a federal judge gutted most of her 2024 lawsuit, the actress, 38, wrote on her Instagram Story on April 3 that she’s still “grateful for the court’s ruling” because it “allows the heart of my case to be presented to a jury next month.” In a 152-page opinion obtained by Us, Judge Lewis J. Liman found that Lively was an independent contractor rather than an employee, so she wasn’t entitled to bring harassment claims under the Civil Rights Act of 1964. He also noted that she’d sued under a California law, but the alleged misconduct occurred on set in New Jersey. The judge did, however, allow…

This is Meghan Trainor 2.0 — and we’re not just talking about her visual transformation, though there’s that too. This Trainor, 32, is raising three kids under 5 and about to release her seventh album, Toy With Me (out April 24), which is bursting with her signature brand of empowerment anthems. These days, she’s trying to practice what she preaches. “I wrote ‘All About That Bass’ so I could feel better in my own skin,” she tells Us about her 2014 breakout hit, a doo-wop-y ode to curvy girls. For the then-20-year-old, self-acceptance was just a wish. Now, she says, “I feel confident and strong. I haven’t felt that way in a long time.” Not everybody loves that for her. “I didn’t expect that when I got healthier, people would…

➽ Don’t worry if you can’t be one of the 150,000 people heading to Churchill Downs for the 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby. You can still saddle up from home with these signature sips served at the first leg of the Triple Crown. “While the horse race is at the center of it all, I’d argue one of the most important parts of the Derby — whether trackside or at home — are the drinks,” says Miguel Buencamino, a mixology influencer who’s partnered with the Derby to help athome hosts impress their guests. While the mint julep is synonymous with the sporting event, “in recent years, the menu has expanded to include lighter, more approachable cocktails designed for a full day of drinking and socializing,” Buencamino says. “If you’re…

Big week for the Cranston family! While Bryan Cranston returns as befuddled dad Hal on Hulu’s Malcolm in the Middle revival, The Pitt airs its season 2 finale on April 16, starring his daughter, Taylor Dear den, who plays Dr. Mel King. “There is nothing that’s more gratifying than when your kid receives praise,” Cranston told the Associated Press last year about Dearden’s performance on Max’s Emmy-winning smash. “Her mom [Cranston’s wife, actor Robin Dearden] and I are just over the moon with her work on it… She’s a very hard-working person. She grew up in it, so it’s in her bones. She’s in it for the right reasons and she loves it.” The anxious Mel — and her relationship with Dr. Frank Langdon (Patrick Ball) — has become a…

The last time viewers were in Gilead, June (Elisabeth Moss) had led a rebellion that ended in death, destruction, hope and liberation. Now, The Handmaid’s Tale spinoff series, The Testaments (Wednesdays on Hulu) — based on Margaret Atwood’s 2019 follow-up to her celebrated 1985 novel — brings us right back to that oppressive society. The show, set years after Handmaid’s, follows a new generation of young women at the elite preparatory school for future wives run by Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd). Students Agnes (Chase Infiniti), a.k.a June’s daughter Hannah; Gilead newcomer Daisy (Lucy Halliday); Shunammite (Rowan Blanchard) and Becka (Mattea Conforti) are all coming to terms with their bleak future — and starting to question the community in which they live. “It was such a privilege to get to act…
