‘The Bachelor’: Maria Georgas on Her Breaking Point & Who Joey Should Pick (Exclusive)urn:uuid:26061c66-2a79-4ef7-8b4d-c4337291b17e
<p>“The Bachelor’s” Maria Georgas chatted with “Extra” after the “Women Tell All” taping.</p>
<p>Maria opened up about all the drama with the other ladies this season and how everything took a toll on her relationship with Joey Graziadei.</p>
<p>During the show, Maria reached her “breaking point” with Jess Edwards. She recalled, “I mentioned to her that night, I said, 'There’s two other women that have a rose that are speaking to him as we speak. Why don’t you go after them, why me?’ kinda of thing and she just said I was being disrespectful and I was like, ‘I can’t really make sense of it.’ There was nothing I was going to do to make those three women happy, who have had problems with me. Even if someone else is literally doing the same thing, they always found a way to target me, and it’s not something I can really even explain.”</p>
<p>The drama “frustrated” Maria, who noted, “It wasn’t only between me and the girls. It was always getting back to Joey.”</p>
<p>According to Maria, Joey started to “question” her character. She said, “I had to convince him that I’m not this person that people are saying that I am and that gets tough… it takes away from my time with him.”</p>
<p>Despite the drama, Joey and Maria “were fighting for each other.” She explained, “I think he was trying to oversee the drama and I was trying to fight for my life to be like, ‘I’m not this person,' and we were constantly having to like go through these ups and downs together.”</p>
<p>She admitted, “It was kind of like taking time from us really just moving forward together, getting to know one another, and I think that’s what hurt us in the end.”</p>
<p>She also spoke about wanting happiness for Joey, saying, “He deserves it. He's a standup guy and I really do respect him. At the end of this, he’s like a friend to me, so I do hope for his happiness."</p>
<p>Maria also revealed who she thinks he should pick, saying, “I personally would pick Kelsey.” She added, "I think both the women are amazing, and it's gonna be a hard decision for him moving forward."</p>

Bachelor Joey Graziadei on If He Found 'The One' (Exclusive)urn:uuid:c998b2fa-6604-4841-8431-8f642de1c39c
<p>“Extra” caught up with “The Bachelor’s” Joey Graziadei right after the “Women Tell All” taping.</p>
<p>After surviving an explosive season, Joey is reliving his search for true love, aka his "journey to find his person<em>" </em>on “The Bachelor: Women Tell-All.”</p>
<p>“I think what people see is true and real," Joey said. "In those moments, you're asked to open up a different side of yourself, a side that a lot of people close off at times in their life because they're afraid of getting hurt. You see me trying to do the best job that I can. A lot of times when I have those feelings, what I try to do is communicate through them, which I did, obviously."</p>
<p>He teased, “I can tell you that going into that final day, I opened up and was ready to open up the most that I can. That's all I can say."</p>
<p>He played coy about if he's found "the one," saying, “I cannot answer that one, you will have to watch the finale to find out.”</p>
<p>Joey was also tight-lipped about what went down in Mexico on the highly-anticipated fantasy suites episode!</p>
<p>He noted, “People love hearing what happened in those fantasy suites, and I get it. But for me I always say the same thing, and it's old school of me, but I think that stuff should stay behind closed doors.”</p>
<p>What wasn't so secret, contestant Maria finding herself swirling in drama with the other ladies!</p>
<p>Graziadei shared, "I think that a lot of people see that with Maria, we had a very strong connection. We always had a really good time. She's been honest and open about the fact that one of the thing she struggled with most was the other women, the process, the idea that there are going to be other people here, and it's only going to get tougher, because things get more personal, more intimate."</p>
<p>He continued, "I was never surprised with that, because that's real, that's honest... It wasn't that I ever had an issue with it, it just was the point that when it came to the next week and going to the final three, I had three other women that were more confident with how everything was going to move forward, and I think she knew that."</p>
<p>Joey also touched on contestant Rachel Nance's emotional time on "Women Tell All," saying he was "surprised" to hear she had been receiving online hate.</p>
<p>"To hear that, to be in that moment and see how much it's affecting her, I didn't expect that, and I felt for her fully," he said. Joey added, "I just wanted her to know that it was a safe space and for her to just take her time because she deserved that."</p>
<p>He noted that it was "great" and "necessary" seeing Rachel again. "I think you could see from the clip of when we did say goodbye, there were a lot of emotions on her side, there were a lot of emotions on my side. Sometimes it's hard to collect your thoughts. It wasn't like anything new was said tonight. It was just a reaffirmation and ability to have a little bit more time and space to talk through it, which I think everyone deserves."</p>
<p>After a full year of being on reality TV, Joey is ready for what’s next! He dished, “I'm very excited for this to be done. For all of it to be out and for me to kind of move forward and do what I want to do.”</p>

‘The Bachelor’ Contestant Rachel Nance on Getting Emotional Over Social Media Hate (Exclusive)urn:uuid:a35f3704-ad5e-49c9-8830-0cf9861d94d0
<p>“The Bachelor’s” Rachel Nance had an “emotional” night at the “Women Tell All” special.</p>
<p>“Extra” spoke with Rachel about seeing Joey Graziadei again, as well as the attacks and racism she has faced on social media.</p>
<p>Of her decision to speak about the social media attacks, Nance said, “I knew if I was silent right now, that silence would continue, so I just wanted to kind of be a voice for those who are going through the same thing.”</p>
<p>Rachel noted that she’s gotten support from “Bachelor” alums, who told her, “Speak your truth and keep a good head on [your] shoulders and stay strong.”</p>
<p>“I wish I wasn’t as emotional,” Nance admitted. “I don’t know if I actually said what I was wanting to say… At the end of the day, I want people to know that your words have weight to it, and it’s really hurtful what you say.”</p>
<p>Rachel “didn’t realize” how emotionally affected she’d be at the special, saying, “I told myself like I’m not going to cry tonight… I’m going to stay strong, but I think really allowing myself to feel what I was feeling just shows how real and authentic this whole experience was for me. Watching it back, the video and crying, I was like, ‘What is going on? Why am I so emotional?’ But you’re reliving the whole thing, and it was sad but it was beautiful at the same time.”</p>
<p>While they aren’t didn’t end up together, Rachel and Joey have maintained a friendship. She said, “There’s always been a solid foundation between the both of us. There was an amazing friendship there. I think for each other, we felt kind of a sense at home with one another, and everything was so pure between the both of us. So when we saw each other, it was like we never left. We just picked up from last time we saw each other.”</p>
<p>Rachel raved about Joey, who she described as “genuine.” She commented, “He really understood me. Ge was so intentional with getting to know who I am as a person, and I was the same for him, and I think that’s what kept us going. We had an amazing sense of humor together… Of course, the physical part was there… But more than anything, there was an emotional connection, and that was where our true chemistry came from.”</p>

Sydney Sweeney on ‘Perfect’ Angelina Jolie Oscars Dress Moment (Exclusive)urn:uuid:b8cceba5-42ed-4227-985d-d16b04ee9b7d
<p>Sydney Sweeney is dishing on her new horror film “Immaculate.”</p>
<p>“Extra’s” Melvin Robert spoke with Sydney, who recently wore Angelina Jolie’s Marc Bouwer 2004 Oscars dress to the Vanity Fair Oscar Party this year.</p>
<p>As for how that fashion moment came about, Sweeney shared, “It was a mixture between the designer Marc Bouwer and my stylist Molly Dixon… I just was blown away that I was even lucky to wear this outfit. We had it for quite a while and [were] trying to just find the perfect moment to wear the dress."</p>
<p>“There’s nothing more perfect than 20 years later at the Vanity Fair Oscar party,” Sweeney emphasized.</p>
<p>Sweeney opened up about seeing Jolie in the flesh, recalling, “I’ve seen her in a room once, and I remember sitting there and like the whole room parted ways and Angelina like walked through… just the most elegant, beautiful woman I’ve ever seen.”</p>
<p>Sydney wasn’t able to connect with Angelina though. She laughed, “This was years and years ago… I was too scared to say a word to anyone.”</p>
<p>Sweeney recently paid tribute to another Hollywood legend, Julia Roberts, with her dress at the GLAAD Media Awards. Referencing Julia’s hit movie “My Best Friend’s Wedding,” she said, “I put together an entire board for [Miu Miu] and that was one of my biggest inspirations, because I kind of wanted to just wrap up the whole ‘Anyone But You’ train with an ode to that."</p>
<p>Sydney’s current film “Immaculate” has been a decade in the making for her. She said, “It’s been quite a ride… I auditioned for a version of this project when I was 16 and they never ended up making it. I just could not stop thinking about it, and a couple years later, I was filming ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ and I got so inspired by Elisabeth Moss and the cinematography on the show that I just started dreaming up ‘Immaculate.’”</p>
<p>She said the original script was reworked to make her character older and match her more.</p>
<p>As for making the project happen, she said, “I still have to pinch myself… I’m so proud… but I’m also really appreciative of everybody who believed in me, that I could actually make it happen.”</p>
<p>Sydney also dished on hosting “SNL” and her “Anyone But You” co-star Glen Powell’s cameo, revealing that they'd love to work together again!</p>
<p>"I love working with him and we've had such a fun ride together," she said. "We've been reading and looking at different things."</p>
<p>“Immaculate” is out March 22.</p>

Richard Simmons Posts About Dying: 'Don't Be Sad'urn:uuid:bfe41924-cff1-4195-82d1-55d7562a5a1c
<p>Famed fitness guru Richard Simmons, 74, has been living quietly outside of the spotlight for the past few years.</p>
<p>On Monday, Simmons gave an unexpected health update on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheWeightSaint/posts/pfbid0hGZhJyjXy8AzPYVpS9yqv9kyZEC6sCZNX6gkSjotA1qH2FZKn2iE1UaMbFf4VSvsl" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</p>
<p>The reclusive Simmons wrote, “I have some news to tell you. Please don’t be sad. I am ….dying. Oh I can see your faces now. The truth is we all are dying. Every day we live we are getting closer to our death.”</p>
<p>He added, “Why am I telling you this? Because I want you to enjoy your life to the fullest every single day. Get up in the morning and look at the sky… count your blessings and enjoy.”</p>
<p>Simmons does not elaborate on what could possibly be wrong with his health.</p>
<p>In the lengthy post, Richard also encouraged hisfollowers to eat a healthy breakfast, salad, and work out!</p>
<p>"There is something else very important that you must do. Tell the ones that you love that you love them. Hug those people and children who you really care for. A big hug really goes a long way," Simmons added. "If you have time I want you to listen to a terrific song. It is by Tim McGraw it is called Live Like You Were Dying. Live today and don’t forget to pray."</p>
<p>Despite Simmons' post, his rep Michael Catalano <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/richard-simmons-is-very-healthy-despite-cryptic-posts-about-dying" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told</a> The Daily Beast that he is "very healthy and very happy." He added, "I would continue to watch his posts for updates.”</p>
<p>In 2017, Simmons was hospitalized for “severe indigestion, according to his rep Michael Catalano.</p>
<p>Richard wrote on Facebook, “Hello to everyone who has shown concern for me and sent their good wishes. You will never know how much it means to me. Aren't you sick of hearing and reading about me?! LOL Well by now you know that I'm not 'missing,' just a little under the weather. I'm sure I will be feeling good and back home in a couple of days.”</p>
<p>"This has reminded me that when you need help you can't be afraid to reach out and ask for it,” Simmons continued. "We all think we should always be able to solve our problems all by ourselves and sometimes it's just bigger than we are.”</p>
<p>He ended his note, illustrated with a pic of himself from 2014, with, "I reached out and I hope you will too. I'm sure there are people in your life who love and care for you and would do anything to help you with the challenges you face. Just knowing you care has already made me feel better. Hope to see you again soon!”</p>

<p>In 2017, Simmons was hospitalized for “severe indigestion, according to his rep Michael Catalano.</p>
<p>Richard wrote on Facebook, “Hello to everyone who has shown concern for me and sent their good wishes. You will never know how much it means to me. Aren't you sick of hearing and reading about me?! LOL Well by now you know that I'm not 'missing,' just a little under the weather. I'm sure I will be feeling good and back home in a couple of days.”</p>
<p>"This has reminded me that when you need help you can't be afraid to reach out and ask for it,” Simmons continued. "We all think we should always be able to solve our problems all by ourselves and sometimes it's just bigger than we are.”</p>
<p>He ended his note, illustrated with a pic of himself from 2014, with, "I reached out and I hope you will too. I'm sure there are people in your life who love and care for you and would do anything to help you with the challenges you face. Just knowing you care has already made me feel better. Hope to see you again soon!”</p>

Bruce Willis & Demi Moore’s Daughter Tallulah Shares Autism Diagnosisurn:uuid:ac8e44d8-af68-4e85-b5dd-b9eb0472d945
<p>Tallulah Willis is opening up about her life-changing autism diagnosis.</p>
<p>Over the weekend, the 30-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore shared a sweet <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4jRY7Av5b8/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">throwback video</a> of herself with her dad. In the clip, he appears to be doing a red-carpet interview as she plays with his ear.</p>
<p>Tallulah wrote in the caption, “Tell me your autistic without telling me your autistic 😂”</p>
<p>In the comments, a fan asked if she was diagnosed as a child. Willis explained, "Actually this is the first time I've ever publicly shared my diagnosis. Found out this summer and it's changed my life."</p>
<p>Her sister Scout also dropped a comment, sharing, "She's stimming.” WebMD describes stimming as, “repetitive behaviors or movements that you may use to help cope with emotions.”</p>
<p>Tallulah responded, “Dude the ear curl. I wish we had stronger audio.”</p>
<p>The sweet father-daughter video and news about Tallulah’s diagnosis comes as Bruce battles frontotemporal dementia (FTD).</p>
<p>The family first revealed Bruce, 68, was suffering from aphasia in 2022, and shared that his condition had worsened to frontotemporal dementia by 2023.</p>
<p>His wife Emma Heming recently spoke out about how he’s doing, while shutting down reports he has no more joy.</p>
<p>Emma confirmed “One hundred percent there is grief and sadness. There’s all of that. But you start a new chapter and that chapter is filled… with love, it’s filled with connection, it’s filled with joy, it’s filled with happiness."</p>
<p>He has a big support system, including Emma and their daughters Mabel, 11, and Evelyn, 9, as well as ex-wife Demi and their daughters Rumer, 35, Scout, 32, and Tallulah.</p>
<p>In January, Demi spoke out on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show “Radio Andy” and he asked, “What message do you have for people out there who have family members who have dementia? Who are maybe caring for them or in their lives?”</p>
<p>As she tells her own children, Demi said, “I think the most important thing I could share is just to meet them where they’re at.”</p>
<p>The 61-year-old continued, “When you let go of who they’ve been or who you think they [should be], or who even you would like them to be, you can then really stay in the present and take in the joy and the love that is present and there for all that they are, not all that they’re not.”</p>

Mauricio Umansky on ‘Annoying’ Speculation Amid Kyle Richards Separation (Exclusive)urn:uuid:d515210f-cd68-4fc5-aa2d-582a7c8e8735
<p>Real estate mogul Mauricio Umansky and daughters Farrah Brittany, Alexia Umansky and Sophia Umansky are dishing on “Buying Beverly Hills” Season 2.</p>
<p>“Extra’s” Megan Ryte spoke with the cast about the new season, which not only focused on the selling, but also the drama surrounding Mauricio and wife Kyle Richards' separation.</p>
<p>Mauricio didn't mince words about living his life in public!</p>
<p>He said, “Sometimes I feel like the public eye... just all the scrutiny — particularly with going through the separation from Kyle — speculation, scrutiny, all of that, it's annoying.”</p>
<p>When asked if it’s difficult to say how he feels due to possible headlines, he answered, “Not being able to live under any privacy or anything like that. That's definitely a very huge sacrifice that I think we all accept when we all want to be on reality television, and it’s a sacrifice.”</p>
<p>As for regretting things he’s said in the past, Mauricio said, “It happens all the time."</p>
<p>"Buying Beverly Hills" is supposed to center around Mauricio and his professional life with his daughters.</p>
<p>Mauricio said he wanted to create a “real estate-porn show that was exciting and people could learn from.”</p>
<p>Sophia spoke about having her family's personal business play out in public, reflecting, "I feel like this whole thing unfolded in the middle of filming. So, it would've felt weird to continue filming and pretending our lives didn't change so much. It almost felt natural to open up about it on the show."</p>
<p>She continued, "Hearing everyone’s responses to that is really hard. You really can’t do anything right on ‘The Housewives.’ Everybody is like, ‘You need to share more’… Then we open up on this show and everyone’s like, ‘This should have been handled privately at home...’ I wish everyone was nice and empathetic.”</p>
<p>Sophia also said mom Kyle has been helpful with tips for navigating reality TV. "I feel like she was my go-to person," she recalled. "When we would sit down and do interviews for the show, I would literally cry because I hate doing interviews. I hate being put on the spot. She would always calm me down and make me feel so much better."</p>
<p>Kyle and Mauricio's separation was, of course, also a storyline on “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”</p>
<p>It didn’t faze Farrah or make her hesitant to be part of a reality show. She said, “‘Buying Beverly Hills’ came along and it seemed just like a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who knows where this could go? Who knows where this could take us with our business? This is a real estate-focused show. Of course, this year, things kind of changed a little in part of our personal lives... but at the end of the day, I think that we just want this to be great for our company and for business."</p>
<p>She added, "I think it's more of a question of the other show is the issue, maybe" referring to "RHOBH." "And for this one, it's exciting. It's not supposed to be based on drama and be so heavy.”</p>
<p>The daughters also all dished on what it's like having dad Mauricio as their boss, which can sometimes be challenging!</p>
<p>Sophia admitted, "I definitely struggle taking orders from him. I feel like at home, I'm the boss of him. In the office, he's the boss, so I have to listen to what he says, and that is definitely a struggle for me. But I also do love it. It's brought us so much closer, and we have the best time together at work."</p>
<p>Alexia reflected, "I do get very nostalgic and full of pride when I look at what we've accomplished and the culture we have and the friendships we have in our office and how much fun I have every day, and I can literally look back and remember when it was just an idea at home. I feel like I got to see it from the behind-the-scenes from the very beginning, so that to me is so special and so beautiful."</p>
<p>She added, "The most difficult part is that we are the daughters and it's kind of like, 'Oh, I'll talk to him when I get home,' but then we're not allowed to talk business at the dinner table." She explained, "We get stopped by mom and [sister] Portia."</p>

Lisa Ann Walter’s Blushworthy Reaction to Bradley Cooper’s ‘Abbott Elementary’ Cameo (Exclusive)urn:uuid:7d92a91b-e498-4185-9cbc-96167b8effff
<p>"Abbott Elementary's" Lisa Ann Walter and William Stanford Davis chatted with "Extra's" Melvin Robert at the 55th Annual NAACP Image Awards.</p>
<p>Lisa gushed over William winning an award, saying, “Every single interview, they asked what I was looking forward to and I said, ‘Hugging and kissing William Stanford Davis,’ because I am so pleased and so happy that this man won and is recognized... He is also my neighbor and football-watching partner."</p>
<p>Walter also talked about the cameo that Bradley Cooper just made on "Abbott Elementary."</p>
<p>"That was exciting for me — I got a little giddy,” she admitted, adding that while she was giggling trying to talk to him, "It was stupid — I was stupid."</p>
<p>William insisted, "We <em>all</em> were."</p>
<p>Lisa said Quinta Brunson suggested she do a take where her character Melissa asks Bradley, “What are you doing here?” but it didn’t go as planned.</p>
<p>“I tried, but I was [giggling], ‘What are you doing here?’ Then I texted her later and said, ‘That was just Lisa being giddy.’ It was an actor choice, but also, it’s been a minute since I got to talk to sex on a stick."</p>
<p>The two teased the rest of the season of "Abbott,” with William saying of upcoming guest stars, "It will knock your socks off."</p>
<p>Lisa said that compared to Season 1, "It's even been <em>better</em>."</p>

Kate Middleton Spotted at Farm Shop Over the Weekendurn:uuid:641a3d07-221a-4398-b056-b074e2b25892
<p>Kate Middleton was out and about over the weekend, and TMZ has the video.</p>
<p>Watch it <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2024/03/18/kate-middleton-seen-new-video-windsor-farm-shop-prince-william/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">here</a>!</p>
<p>In the clip, Kate and Prince William are walking outside the Windsor Farm Shop. The princess is all smiles in a black ensemble, including a long sleeved shirt, leggings and sneakers. For his part, the prince wears a hat, coat, long pants and sneakers.</p>
<p>The video surfaced after an insider <a href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/26750949/princess-kate-windsor-farm-shop-william/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">told</a> The Sun that the royals stopped by a farm shop in Windsor on Saturday after watching their children play sports.</p>
<p>It is one of the few public sightings of Kate since her abdominal surgery in January, which has left many royal watchers speculating about her health.</p>
<p>The source told The Sun, “After all the rumors that had been going ’round, I was stunned to see them there. Kate was out shopping with William, and she looked happy and she looked well.”</p>
<p>The insider added, “The kids weren’t with them, but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”</p>
<p>Previous sightings of Kate included paparazzi photos of her riding in a car, but this outing was not caught on camera. There was also the edited image she posted on social media for U.K. Mother’s Day, which only brought more scrutiny and conspiracy theories.</p>
<p>The Palace previously announced that Kate would return to public duties after Easter.</p>
<p>In spite of the secrecy, one Sunday Times source <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kate-princess-wales-discuss-recovery-public-engagement-0zvw6nvpk" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">believes</a> she might reveal what has been going on not in an interview, but while working. “They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public," the source said, "and I can see a world in which the Princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements. If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it.”</p>
<p>Another source cited their private natures, but said, "They'll do it when they feel ready."</p>
<p>Another friend added, “It’s not that they didn’t think there would be lots of speculation and interest, but they had confidence that people would give them the space they asked for, which they did for about a month.”</p>

<p>The insider added, “The kids weren’t with them, but it’s such a good sign she was healthy enough to pop down to the shops.”</p>
<p>Previous sightings of Kate included paparazzi photos of her riding in a car, but this outing was not caught on camera. There was also the edited image she posted on social media for U.K. Mother’s Day, which only brought more scrutiny and conspiracy theories.</p>

Idris Elba & Wife Sabrina on Upcoming 5th Wedding Anniversary (Exclusive)urn:uuid:ac353419-5f49-427d-84ec-45228eac166d
<p>Idris and Sabrina Elba chatted with “Extra’s” Melvin Robert on a date night at the 55th Annual NAACP Image Awards. The couple, who were presenters at the show, were killing the fashion game, with Sabrina in vintage Versace and Idris in Gucci.</p>
<p>Idris was nominated for his Apple TV+ series "Hijack,” which is about a business negotiator whose skills are put to the test when his seven-hour international flight is hijacked.</p>
<p>“Tough show to make,” Elba said. “Definitely the longest flight I have taken in my life, but it was fun."</p>
<p>Mel asked if the show prepared him for that type of situation, but Idris insisted, "I hope not. Let’s just keep it fiction, thank you very much."</p>
<p>Sabrina shared, "But you do know how to look around the plane when we sit down now."</p>
<p>Idris agreed, “I definitely know what kind of plane I am on."</p>
<p>With the show coming back for Season 2, Idris told Melvin, "I think it is going to be good, going to be different."</p>
<p>Sabrina and Idris are also celebrating their fifth wedding anniversary in April!</p>
<p>Mel asked Sabrina what we would be surprised to know about her husband. She said, "That he really is a homebody. He just wants to chill on the couch, watch movies, and be at home."</p>
<p>Idris laughed, "Are you saying I'm boring?"</p>
<p>Sabrina continued, "He loves video games — people don't know that.”</p>
<p>Idris jumped in with what people wouldn't know about Sabrina, revealing, "She is actually a tongue-twisting genius... I mean tongue twisters... 'Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled'... She's great. She should be in the [Guinness] World Records."</p>
<p>As Sabrina blushed, he clarified again, "Tongue twisters... Get your mind out of the gutter, babes."</p>
<p>Mel also asked Sabrina about Idris' sexy Calvin Klein campaign! "All I see when I look at it is the best day ever on set with my partner,” she admitted. “It was so fun. I love this guy so much — I love you too much."</p>
<p>Idris told her, "I love you, too."</p>
<p>Sabrina went on, "I look at that video and I have positive memories... My mom was like, ‘What?’ I was like, ‘Sorry.’"</p>
<p>Idris added, "We had a good time."</p>

Princess Diana's Brother: Questions About Kate's Health LESS DANGEROUS Than What Diana Facedurn:uuid:09be157f-7da1-4dc4-aaf0-cc4f40b677dc
<p>Princess Diana's brother, Charles Spencer, is speaking out about Kate Middleton's health, and how intrusive media coverage has been in comparison to the press that swirled around his late sister's private life.</p>
<p>Sitting for a new <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-68585686">BBC</a> interview that aired Sunday, Spencer, 59, was asked about Kate Middleton, whose "planned abdominal surgery" on January 16 has become the source of endless conspiracy theories and rumors.</p>
<p>"I do worry about what happened to the truth," he said.</p>
<p>However, asked to compare what Kate is enduring versus what his sister went through, he went on to say, "I think it was more dangerous back in the day."</p>
<p>In the wake of the death of Diana — who perished alongside boyfriend Dodi Fayed and the driver in a car crash on August 31, 1997 — Charles had become a frequent critic of the media, specifically of the paparazzi.</p>
<p>"I think, if I look back to '97 and Diana's death," he said, "I think that was so shocking to... the circumstances of her death were so shocking, that it did make the industry that supports the paparazzi really consider more carefully what it could and couldn't do."</p>
<p>"Not because they had a moral judgment, but because it was unacceptable to the public."</p>
<p>Spencer's words about Kate were a departure for him — he has mostly stayed out of the controversies involving his nephews, William and Harry, who are at odds, and their family foibles.</p>
<p>Spencer is currently promoting a book he's written that has nothing to do with the Princes — "A Very Private School" details violence and sexual abuse he experienced at boarding school when he was just 8 years old.</p>

Kate Middleton May Address Surgery Details After Easter: Reporturn:uuid:1822c414-41c8-41ff-834e-8f4fb34a6c1e
<p>Kate Middleton may be planning to address her mystery abdominal procedure — but likely only after she returns to her duties, post-Easter.</p>
<p>That is the bottom line of a new report in <a href="https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kate-princess-wales-discuss-recovery-public-engagement-0zvw6nvpk">The Sunday Times</a>, which cites people close to Kate and William.</p>
<p>Kate had what was called a "planned abdominal surgery" on January 16, and had been expected to return to public life after Easter. The unusually long recovery time led to numerous theories about the true state of her health, theories given new life on the heels of a Photoshop fail.</p>
<p>After posting an idyllic image of herself and her kids in honor of U.K. Mother's Day, Kate, 42, was called out for blatant Photoshop errors, which caused many to wonder what she may be hiding.</p>
<p>Kate apologized for the manipulated photo.</p>
<p>In spite of the secrecy, one Sunday Times source believes she might reveal what has been going on not in an interview, but while working. “They are at their most open when out interacting with members of the public," the source said, "and I can see a world in which the Princess might discuss her recovery out on engagements. If she was going to do it, that’s how she would do it.”</p>
<p>Another source cited their private natures, but said, "They'll do it when they feel ready."</p>
<p>Another friend added, “It’s not that they didn’t think there would be lots of speculation and interest, but they had confidence that people would give them the space they asked for, which they did for about a month.”</p>

Céline Dion Posts Family Photo Amid Battle with Stiff-Person Syndromeurn:uuid:e0acaf49-44c3-4c9a-8c1c-0575337ac217
<p>Friday was Stiff-Person Syndrome Day, and the most famous living person suffering from the rare disease, Céline Dion, made sure to use her platform to spread the word.</p>
<p>Posting a rare image of herself with her kids, the 55-year-old pop icon wrote on Instagram, "Today the world recognizes International SPS Awareness Day. As many of you know, in the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)."</p>
<p>She went on, "Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible.”</p>
<p>“I am deeply grateful for the love and support from my kids, family, team and all of you! I want to send my encouragement and support to all those around the world that have been affected by SPS. I want you to know you can do it! We can do it!”</p>
<p>A makeup-free Dion, looking radiant in white, is surrounded by sons René-Charles Angélil, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, in the image.</p>
<p>Their dad, her husband René Angéil, died of cancer in 2016.</p>
<p>Because stiff-person syndrome causes spasms — including in the vocal cords — Dion has not performed since 2022.</p>
<p>She recently surprised fans with an appearance at the 2024 Grammys, where she was on hand to give Taylor Swift her fourth Album of the Year Award.</p>

Nickelodeon Alum ‘Cried’ Finding Out Drake Bell Was Sexually Abused in the Past (Exclusive)urn:uuid:a0d4a938-3d19-4679-b74d-e28b5f3dbab9
<p>It was must-see TV for millions of ’90s kids, but behind the scenes of producer Dan Schneider’s hit Nickelodeon shows were allegations of toxic workplace conditions.</p>
<p>As part of the series “Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV,” “Drake & Josh” star Drake Bell shared publicly for the first time his story of being a victim of sexual abuse by his former dialect coach Brian Peck.</p>
<p>Now, fellow Nickelodeon alum Bryan Hearne and Giovonnie Samuels are speaking to “Extra’s” Mona Kosar Abdi about the moment they found out Drake was assaulted.</p>
<p>The stars are also part of “Quiet on Set” and said they learned about Bell watching the docuseries.</p>
<p>Samuels said, “We didn’t find out about Drake… until ‘Quiet on Set.’”</p>
<p>Hearne added, “Finding out watching ‘Quiet on Set’… immediately brought us to tears.”</p>
<p>Giovannie added, “Yeah, we both cried,” saying, “We called each other and were both like, ‘Are you okay? Did you see who it is?’ It was very gut-wrenching.”</p>
<p>Drake speaks out in the series about how Peck abused him when he was 15 years old. The actor eventually reported him to the police. At the time, Bell was an unnamed minor in the case.</p>
<p>In August 2003, Peck pleaded no contest to “performing a lewd act with a victim around 14 or 15 years old and to oral copulation with a child under 16 years old.” He was sentenced to 16 months behind bars.</p>
<p>Another crew member, Jason Handy, was convicted in 2004 for lewd acts against underage girls.</p>
<p>Samuels told Mona, “Jason Handy was a PA and I would have Bible study with him. So to have that kind of access and not know is terrifying. Who else did he touch? Why did this happen?”</p>
<p>Bryan also shared a time that things didn’t feel right, saying, “If you were a boy on a Nickelodeon set at least twice you would have to be in a leotard. You do feel uncomfortable.”</p>
<p>Nickelodeon has released this statement regarding Drake, “Now that Drake Bell has disclosed his identity as the plaintiff in the 2004 case, we are dismayed and saddened to learn of the trauma he has endured, and we commend and support the strength required to come forward.”</p>
<p>In regard to other alleged behaviors included on "Quiet on Set," Nickelodeon said, “Though we cannot corroborate or negate allegations of behaviors from productions decades ago, Nickelodeon as a matter of policy investigates all formal complaints as part of our commitment to fostering a safe and professional workplace environment free of harassment or other kinds of inappropriate conduct. Our highest priorities are the well-being and best interests not just of our employees, casts and crew, but of all children, and we have adopted numerous safeguards over the years to help ensure we are living up to our own high standards and the expectations of our audience.”</p>
<p>“Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV” airs March 17 and 18 on ID.</p>

Céline Dion Posts Family Photo Amid Battle with Stiff-Person Syndromeurn:uuid:38db9c2f-be86-4664-abaf-ec4a1e5b5111
<p>Friday was Stiff-Person Syndrome Day, and the most famous living person suffering from the rare disease, Céline Dion, made sure to use her platform to spread the word.</p>
<p>Posting a rare image of herself with her kids, the 55-year-old pop icon wrote on Instagram, "Today the world recognizes International SPS Awareness Day. As many of you know, in the fall of 2022, I was diagnosed with Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)."</p>
<p>She went on, "Trying to overcome this autoimmune disorder has been one of the hardest experiences of my life, but I remain determined to one day get back onto the stage and to live as normal of a life as possible.”</p>
<p>“I am deeply grateful for the love and support from my kids, family, team and all of you! I want to send my encouragement and support to all those around the world that have been affected by SPS. I want you to know you can do it! We can do it!”</p>
<p>A makeup-free Dion, looking radiant in white, is surrounded by sons René-Charles Angélil, 23, and twins Nelson and Eddy, 13, in the image.</p>
<p>Their dad, her husband René Angéil, died of cancer in 2016.</p>
<p>Because stiff-person syndrome causes spasms — including in the vocal cords — Dion has not performed since 2022.</p>
<p>She recently surprised fans with an appearance at the 2024 Grammys, where she was on hand to give Taylor Swift her fourth Album of the Year Award.</p>

<p>Greg Vaughan, 50, is speaking out after he was hospitalized with severe altitude sickness.</p>
<p>The “Days of Our Lives” star was on a ski and snowboard trip to Breckenridge, Colorado, with his family when he fell ill.</p>
<p>He <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gnglYx3Xw/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">joked on Instagram</a>, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera!”</p>
<p>After just one day in the mountains, Greg started “experiencing shortness of breath climbing a few flights of stairs, wheezy, some congestion after some cold snowy conditions, and a headache developing.”</p>
<p>He went on, “I had [hydrated] all day, so into the night I drank a bottle of Pedialyte and NyQuil’d myself out to be ready to tackle BRECK w/the boys the next morning!”</p>
<p>Despite his home remedies, Vaughan found himself “tossing, turning, no sleep, coughing, dry heaving & my head felt like it was in a walnut cracker!”</p>
<p>He decided to stay in the next day so he could rest, but his symptoms only got worse.</p>
<p>After “two full days gone,” Greg said, “I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness! My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids!”</p>
<p>He added, “Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”</p>
<p>In a <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/C4gn1BNxn_C/?hl=en" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">second post</a>, he showed off his blood oxygen level at 94 percent and added, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! 🤪However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”<br> <br>He insisted, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️& 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke!
