When it comes to glossy, perfectly polished hair, Paris Hilton knows exactly what works. For her Los Angeles Global Premiere of Infinite Icon: A Visual Memoir, the beauty icon relied on the Paul Mitchell Texturizing Spray to give her slightly undone style just the right balance of shine, movement and hold. The result? Smooth, camera-ready hair that looked effortless but held up under red-carpet lights.
As a Paul Mitchell Global Ambassador, Hilton’s red-carpet look was built around a deliberately minimal product lineup focused on shine, texture and staying power. A source told Us Weekly Hilton’s hair was styled into a soft, intricately detailed updo that felt polished yet relaxed, with natural separation and movement throughout, all thanks to the Paul Mitchell Texturizing Spray. A final touch of the Super Skinny Serum was used to smooth and gloss the look, enhancing shine without weighing the hair down.

The texturizing spray is designed to add dimension and control while keeping hair light and touchable. The fine-mist formula builds flexible hold and adds subtle volume, making it especially effective for updos that need structure without rigidity. It also smooths flyaways and imparts a soft, healthy-looking sheen, helping styles photograph cleanly under bright lights.

To use it, mist onto dry hair before styling to create grip and definition, then layer as needed while pinning or shaping sections. A final light spray over the finished style helps lock in texture and longevity without weighing hair down, allowing movement and polish to coexist.
One Amazon shopper called it “the best texturizing spray,” noting that it “lifts thinning hair up.” Another reviewer raved that it “doesn’t leave a film on your hair” and that it “really gives body.”

Teddi Mellencamp has one of the most iconic last names in music, so it’s no surprise that she turned to her famous father, John Mellencamp, for advice before taking on The Masked Singer.
“My dad said, ‘Just sing loud and proud, and if you don’t hit a note, you don’t hit a note, but as long as you’re giving it your all, that’s what matters,’” the former Bravo star, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly after her unmasking during the Wednesday, February 4, episode of the Fox singing competition. “And so that’s what I was doing.”
Teddi didn’t initially tell John, 74, that she’d landed a gig on The Masked Singer, but when it came time to show off her pipes, she decided it was time to ask the Grammy winner for some tips.
“Once I was singing a song, then I talked to him about it. I needed advice,” she. “He’s like, ‘Don’t go out there trying to think that you’re a singer. Just go out there and sing the song the way you would if you were singing along. Have fun.’”
The advice seems to have worked, because Teddi blew the judges away with her performances of Rachel Platten’s “Fight Song” and her dad’s “Jack & Diane.” The former song, she explained, has become “an anthem” for her as she battles stage IV melanoma. (A scan in October 2025 showed “no detectable cancer,” but Teddi explained on her podcast last month that she’s still considered stage IV while she remains on immunotherapy.)
“I’m probably even going to get emotional talking about it,” Teddi said of Platten’s inspiring track. “I’m almost a year [after] having all my cancer surgeries, but it’s been a fight, and I wanted to be able to share the softer side, but also [show] you can work really hard and do the things that you want to do still.”
As for the second song, John’s 1982 No. 1 hit, Teddi initially didn’t think it was an option to even sing one of her dad’s songs because of who owned the rights. When she realized his masters had been sold, however, his catalog was on the table, and she was willing to give it a shot.

When Teddi spoke to Us, her dad hadn’t yet seen her take on “Jack & Diane” — he was planning to come over and watch with her so she could get “nice and embarrassed” — but he previously expressed his approval for her “Fight Song” performance.
“He thought the first episode was great,” she told Us. “I mean, he’s my dad, so it’s different. But he was like, ‘I thought you were great.’”
Tuning into The Masked Singer is apparently always a family affair in the Mellencamp household, no matter who’s under the costume. As Teddi said in Calla Lily’s first clue package, she wanted to do the show for her kids, who love the show. (She shares Slate, 13, Cruz, 11, and Dove, 5, with ex Edwin Arroyave.)
Teddi Mellencamp will always appreciate her dad, John Mellencamp, despite their well-documented ups and downs. John welcomed daughters Teddi and Justice with ex-wife Victoria Granucci in 1981 and 1985, respectively. The singer also shares daughter Michelle with ex Priscilla Esterline, and sons Hud and Speck with ex-wife Elaine Irwin. In May 2024, Teddi shared that […]
“My kids have seen me in a situation where I was recovering from brain surgery, and I wanted them to know that there’s life after that,” she explained. “And once you’re feeling better, you can push yourself and you can try new things. So, that was part of the reason that I wanted to do The Masked Singer, but the other part was because it’s my kids’ favorite show.”
The kids didn’t know in advance that their mom was on the show, but she said they figured it out as soon as they heard her voice because she always sings in the car.
“I was like, ‘How do you know?’ Because I wanted to wait [to tell them],” she recalled. “And they were like, ‘Don’t even try to fool us. We know.’”
They were then “so worried” that their mom would go home first, but that didn’t happen: She notched two performances before Calla Lily’s run came to an end despite being so nervous that she found herself shaking on stage.
“I just was like, ‘You’ve got to do this. There’s no choice,’” Teddi recalled telling herself. “You’ve just got to fight through the nerves and remember the words and sing loud.”
Teddi has been fighting hard for the past year, sharing raw insights about her health journey on her “Two T’s in a Pod” podcast, which she cohosts with The Real Housewives of Orange County’s Tamra Judge. Listeners may come expecting reality TV gossip, but Teddi hasn’t shied away from discussing the serious topic of her treatment, in part because she thinks it would be “impossible” for fans not to notice something was going on.
“You can hear the way that my voice has changed throughout the time. You can see my personality change. And I’m aware of it,” Teddi explained. “When you have brain surgery, there’s so many things affected, and I didn’t want to feel ashamed by it. So, I just wanted to talk about it and make other people not feel alone. But also, if I talk about it, then I’m less nervous about it, then I can just go along being me. I’m not trying to hide something like, ‘Hey, guys, I’m really shaky today,’ or, ‘You might notice my voice sounds funny.’”
She added, “It’s one of the side effects of one of the treatments I’m going through, and just kind of letting people know that you’re not alone. I think so many people talk about the physical aspect of having cancer, but the mental aspect has kind of been forgotten. So, as much as I can talk about that, I do.”
Just last month, Teddi opened up about starting therapy to help process all that she’s been through between her cancer battle and her divorce from Arroyave, 48.
“It’s really hard for me to tap into my feelings, because I think I’ve put up a wall,” she shared with Us. “I was so scared of what happened that I didn’t want to really dig into it and get into those emotions, but now that I have, it’s like the floodgates are open. It’s definitely been helping, because I think that when you go through a trauma and you’re just trying to white-knuckle it the whole time, it’s gonna come around. And when it came around, I was completely shocked.”
The Masked Singer, she said, helped remind her that she can keep going.
“You become such a creature of habit when you’re healing,” she said. “I’m home. I do my podcast from the house. I’m not allowed to drive yet, so my podcast room is 15 steps from where my bedroom is. It’s like everything is in one area. Being able to get out there and do that was something that showed me I can do hard things.”
The Masked Singer airs on Fox Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Hulu.

This Forgotten ‘Cheers’ Spin-Off That Became Television History’s Worst Came Before ‘Frasier’
Cheers stands as one of the most iconic sitcoms of the 1980s. The series, led by Ted Danson as Sam Malone, centered around the staff and regulars of the titular bar in Boston as they took time away from their day-to-day life to go “where everybody knows your name.” The characters are among television’s most beloved: Danson’s Malone, the bar owner and former Red Sox relief pitcher; Diane (Shelley Long), the academic barmaid and love interest; Carla (Rhea Perlman), the cynical, wise-cracking and irritable waitress; Norm (George Wendt), a popular bar regular greeted with a resounding “Norm!” whenever he showed up (which was often); and Cliff (John Ratzenberger), another bar regular, a mail carrier, and know-it-all.
As the series progressed, Woody (Woody Harrelson) replaced Coach (Nicholas Colasanto) as bartender following Colasanto’s passing, while Long departing the show opened the door for Kirstie Alley‘s Rebecca, all without the series missing a beat. A spin-off was inevitable, and while any of the characters would have been effective, the call went to Kelsey Grammer‘s Frasier Crane, and Frasier (which premiered in 1993, the same year Cheers ended) would prove to be just as popular as its parent series. But the first spin-off didn’t feature any of the characters mentioned above. Preceding Frasier by six years, The Tortellis centered around characters that only ever made a handful of appearances… and unsurprisingly, it bombed.
Carla’s Ne’er-Do-Well Ex-Husband Lands ‘Cheers’ First Spin-Off With ‘The Tortellis’
In the first season of Cheers, all we knew about Carla’s ex-husband Nick was what she shared caustically. He’s a deadbeat father to five of her children, making few attempts to contact them, and no attempt to support them financially. He also cheated on Carla with another woman, Loretta. We don’t actually meet him or Loretta until Season 2’s “Battle of the Exes,” and, well, he lives up to his reputation. Nick (Dan Hedaya) is loud, boorish, and scruffy, with nary a hint of sophistication. Loretta (Jean Kasem) is a tall, blonde, and “ditzy” woman, a trophy wife who marries Nick in the same episode. And yet, after the wedding, he beelines to Cheers and begs Carla to come back to him. It’s not the last time he attempts to woo Carla back either, and it often even comes close to happening — with Nick still proving to be irresistible to her.
The Tortellis sees Loretta leave Nick and move to Las Vegas, where she hopes to make it as a performer. She moves in with her sister Charlotte (Carlene Watkins), who seemingly took her share of the smarts, and her son Mark (Aaron Moffat). Nick follows her to Las Vegas in an attempt to reconcile with her, promising to change his ways. She takes him back, tentatively, and Nick sets up a TV repair shop, and, true to his word, changes his ways. (Kind of. Not really.) Then Nick and Carla’s teenage son, Anthony (Timothy Williams), and his petulant wife Annie (Mandy Ingber) also move to Las Vegas, joining Nick and Loretta in Charlotte and Mark’s home. Six wacky stereotypical characters under one roof? Cue the hilarity.
‘The Tortellis’ Is Mercifully Cancelled After 13 Episodes
The decision to center a spin-off around characters who’ve had a handful of appearances is questionable at best, but to make it about such a despicable character and his bubble-headed wife is downright baffling. Storylines like a customer holding Nick accountable for his advertised claim of fixing a TV in a day or he’ll “eat a bug,” or Loretta confronting Charo after Nick takes longer than expected to fix a TV in her dressing room are so far apart from the savvy, well-written episodes of Cheers that it’s criminal. And speaking of criminal, Nick’s criminal past, rooted in offensive stereotypes of Italian Americans, didn’t help either, with the South Florida SunSentinel saying, “The Italian-American Anti-Defamation League should be about as enchanted with Nick Tortelli as it was with The Untouchables.” Coupled with poor ratings, The Tortellis was cancelled after only 13 episodes.
Frasier worked because people knew the character and were willing to follow him to Seattle. The series didn’t sacrifice those things that made Frasier who he was, bringing characters into the series with him that worked to both complement him and challenge him. The writing, too, was up to the same level of quality as its predecessor. Joey, the infamous spin-off of Friends, failed partially because the series changed those things that made Joey who he was, expecting fans to follow a different version of Joey to Los Angeles. The Tortellis didn’t sacrifice the characters at all, and maybe they should have. To add insult to injury, Wings, a sitcom that exists in the same world as Cheers and Frasier, had a healthy 8-season run, with characters that never showed up in Cheers at all.
Sherri Shepherd has officially broken her silence following the surprise cancellation of her daytime talk show, “Sherri.” Taking to social media, Shepherd shared her early thoughts about the response to the news and noted that she will have more to say at a later date.
Shepherd is the latest daytime talk show host to see her show come to an end, as Kelly Clarkson’s self-titled show was also recently confirmed to cease production this year.

‘Sherri’ Was Recently Cancelled After Four Seasons
On Tuesday, February 3, it was announced that “Sherri” was formally cancelled and its current season will wrap up in the fall, according to Variety.
Debmar-Mercury, which distributes the show through producer Lionsgate, issued a statement confirming the news, citing the changing “daytime television landscape” as the reason for the show’s cancellation.
“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production, which has found strong creative momentum this season, or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus said via joint statement.
“We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms,” the statement continued.

Shepherd took the reins of her now-cancelled daytime talk show in fall 2022, initially occupying the previous time slot of the “Wendy Williams Show.” That hit show, which ran for 13 seasons, ended after a host of health and personal issues that Williams still continues to battle.

A Former Co-Host Of ‘The Real’ Slammed ‘Sherri’s’ Cancellation News
Loni Love, who is a former co-host of the daytime panel talk show, “The Real,” which was also cancelled, spoke out against the cancellation of Shepherd’s show, per Entertainment Weekly.
Love voiced her displeasure with production company Debmar-Mercury for how the show’s cancellation was announced, specifically in comparison to Clarkson.
“Sherri should have been given the courtesy of announcing her show’s end instead of an article announcing it. (Just like Kelly got to announce her show’s end.),” Love wrote in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter. “It’s not like The Real, which was a panel show, but this was a solo-hosted show.”

“Or the production company could have at least made a joint announcement as a producer and host,” she continued. “Seeing “cancelled” stamped all over your picture is depressing, especially when the show was having good ratings. Only onward and upward from this, @sherrieshepherd.”
Kelly Clarkson Broke The News Her Show Was Ending Following Intense Speculation
“There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show, and to NBC,” Clarkson’s statement read in part.
“Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’ Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives,” she continued.

The “American Idol” winner closed her statement by thanking her fans.
“I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years.”
According to Deadline, Clarkson’s contract was up at the end of the current season, and her recent personal issues were likely the deciding factor not to continue. The singer’s ex-husband and father to her children died from cancer complications in August 2025.
Viewers Have Sought Outside Television For Their Daytime Talk Show Interests
With major news personalities leaving cable and network news for streaming, such as former CNN journalist Don Lemon and former MSNBC host Joy Reid, many of their fans are following them in droves. Lemon’s YouTube channel, launched a year ago, boasts over 1 million subscribers.
Viewers are changing the way they get traditional news and daily talk show news, as the massive rise of podcasts has severely cut into the audience of daytime talk shows, which is referenced by Debmar-Mercury’s point about the “changing television landscape.”

London native and singer Natasha Bedingfield was just 23 years old when she took over 2004 with her debut album “Unwritten.”
John Glover is best known for playing the perfectly coiffed antagonist, Lionel Luthor, on the WB superhero show, “Smallville.”
American actor, singer and dancer Sterling Knight was 20 years old when he was cast as Alex O’Donnell in the 2009 film “17 Again.”

Adrian Conejo Arias is clapping back at the government’s claim that he abandoned his son while ICE agents pursued him in Minnesota. Arias is the father of the 5-year-old boy in a blue bunny hat and a Spider-Man backpack. Liam went viral after footage showed immigration officers surrounding the boy and allegedly attempting to bait the father with the child.
ICE had ultimately detained and shipped them both to a holding facility in Texas. Now, amid the father-son reunion, Adrian is setting the record straight while the government doubles down on abandonment claims.

Father And Son Headed Back To Minnesota After ICE Detention
Adrian Conejo Arias spoke out after a federal judge ordered the pair’s release over the weekend. The father and son were released Sunday and returned to Minnesota, according to Rep. Joaquin Castro of Texas.
Adrian told ABC News that he loves his son Liam and would never abandon him. The father’s comments contradict the picture painted by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has claimed Arias left his 5-year-old in a vehicle. But Papa Adrian is denying the DHS narrative. Additionally, he said Liam got sick while in federal custody but allegedly was not given any medicine.
Also, the father says his arrest was unjust. He said he was in the country legally, with a pending court hearing on his asylum application. The government said the boy’s father entered the U.S. illegally from Ecuador in December 2024. The family’s lawyer said he has a pending asylum claim that allows him to stay in the U.S. However, per the Associated Press, the DOJ’s Executive Office for Immigration Review’s online court docket shows no future hearings for Liam’s father.
For context, the large majority of asylum-seekers are released in the United States. Adults typically have eligibility for work permits, while their cases wind through the court system.
Homeland Security Claims Adrian Arias Left His Son
Meanwhile, Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement that Arias fled on foot before he was arrested, “abandoning his child.” She said ICE officers stayed with the boy.
“The facts in this case have NOT changed: The father, who was illegally in the country, chose to take his child with him to a detention center,” McLaughlin said.
However, McLaughlin did not address Adrian Conejo Arias’ statement about agents denying Liam medication while in custody. The family’s arrest and release unfolded during President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration. This crackdown has led to daily protests that included the shooting deaths of two American citizens by federal officers.
More Parents From 5-Year-Old’s School Detained
Neighbors celebrated Liam Arias’ return but his school in Columbia Heights had to cancel class after receiving bomb threats. Authorities said they did not find any dangerous devices. School was set to resume Tuesday.
Even before the threats, the district has felt under attack. ICE has detained over two dozen parents of students at Liam’s school, Valley View Elementary, leaving children without their caretakers. Principal Jason Kuhlman shared the update last week Friday in an interview.
“We hate Mondays. And it’s because we find out how many of our parents were taken over the weekend,” Kuhlman said.
The school started offering online classes in late January because many parents were afraid to come to school. Even with volunteers patrolling grounds during drop-off and dismissal times, fear has been dominating. Kuhlman said that during one recent day, almost 200 students were absent. The school’s population is around 570. Normally, only 20 or 30 kids would be absent on any given day.
ICE Agents Will Allegedly Wear Body Cameras
The president last week ordered his top border adviser to oversee the crackdown days after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old Alex Pretti. Alex was an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital. Border czar Tom Homan suggested that mistakes have been made. However, he said agents would continue to enforce federal law. Also, he called on local and state officials to cooperate with federal officers.
On Monday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said every DHS officer in Minneapolis would immediately be issued body-worn cameras. President Donald Trump seemingly approved of the body cameras. He called them good for law enforcement “because people can’t lie about what’s happening.”

Because Apple relies entirely on a library of original films and shows, its viewership charts aren’t as dynamic as those of its competition. The sparsely populated platform has earned a reputation for focusing on quality over quantity, at least until now. This focus has resulted in shows that offer a rare combination of mass appeal and critical acclaim. There is no better example of this than the sci-fi series Severance, which has become something of a platform-defining hit for Apple TV. The streamer has emerged as a hub for long-form sci-fi over the years, with the similarly successful Foundation, Invasion, Silo, and Pluribus also competing for eyeballs. However, Apple’s biggest hit — certainly, its longest-running title — isn’t a sci-fi show at all.
The show in question, Slow Horses, is a darkly comic spy thriller that premiered in 2022 and has aired five seasons so far. Apple is committed to making at least two more seasons, the first of which will be released this year. This week, Slow Horses passed a massive streaming milestone that puts it in the elite company of Severance and Ted Lasso — the latter comedy-drama became Apple’s first breakout hit, after premiering in 2020. Based on the book series by Mick Herron and created by screenwriter Will Smith, Slow Horses has given star Gary Oldman one of the most memorable characters in a career filled with them. Oldman has received widespread acclaim for his performance as Jackson Lamb, the chief of a band of overlooked spies.
‘Slow Horses’ Is One of the Best-Reviewed Shows Currently Streaming
According to FlixPatrol, Slow Horses has spent more than 600 days on Apple’s domestic viewership charts. It’s trailing only Severance and Ted Lasso, both of which have spent over 700 days on the list, primarily because they’ve had a head start. Slow Horses has received critical acclaim for each of its five seasons, with an overall score of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes. It peaked with Season 2 and Season 4, both of which earned perfect 100% scores. Rotten Tomatoes’ consensus for last year’s fifth season reads, “Slow Horses loosens the reins in a more lighthearted season that doesn’t quite measure up to the series’ high bar, but it still excels as one of the most compulsively watchable offerings on television.” You can watch Slow Horses at home.

Before he was a part of the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, Liam Neeson worked as a forklift operator at a Guinness factory in his native Northern Ireland.
Neeson was on the show to promote his new horror film, “Cold Storage,” which is set to premiere in the United States on February 13.
The “Schindler’s List” star also spoke about the fortuitous circumstances that eventually led to his first-ever acting role.

Liam Neeson Remembers Dropping Crates While Working At A Guinness Factory
According to Neeson’s profile on the British Independent Film Awards website, one of his earliest jobs before fame was working as a forklift operator at a Guinness factory in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, where he grew up.
The actor reflected on that period of his life during his conversation with Meyers on “Late Night,” where he shared more details about the job.
“I had to stack the Guinness, and then load the lorries with Guinness that would then go out to various pubs,” Neeson explained, while joking about his clumsiness on the job. “Yeah, I dropped quite a few crates.”
The BIFA profile also lists several other jobs Neeson held before his acting days, including stints as a truck driver and an amateur boxer.

Neeson Credits His Height For Landing His First Acting Role
After years of working various odd jobs to make ends meet, Neeson finally landed his first acting role when he joined a production of “The Risen People” at the Belfast Lyric Players Theater.
However, he feels that the circumstances behind how he secured the part were largely a matter of chance.
Neeson told Meyers that he was cast in the play simply because the production needed someone of his stature.
“What I think got me the part when I called up for an audition, the lady Mary O’Malley, who formed the theater 75 years ago, she said, ‘What height are you?’” Neeson recalled. “I said, ‘Six foot four.’ ‘Can you be up here next Tuesday?’”

Liam Neeson Recalls Spending Hours In Makeup For The Movie ‘Darkman’
Neeson took another trip down memory lane on “Late Night,” this time when he spoke about the grueling makeup process he endured while filming “Darkman.”
“Five hours of makeup underneath that wrap,” Neeson said, referring to the heavy prosthetics he used for the role. “Eventually, they got it down to three and a half.”
In the 1990 cult classic, Neeson portrayed scientist Peyton Westlake, who gains superhuman abilities after an experimental procedure and seeks revenge against the criminals who brutally attacked and disfigured him.

The Actor Also Opens Up On Feeling ‘Embarrassed’ Receiving An Honorary Doctorate
In 2009, Neeson was awarded an honorary doctorate by Queen’s University, Belfast, where he had actually previously enrolled for an undergraduate degree in physics and computer science.
The future Hollywood star was at the school for only about a year, after which he said he failed his exams and flunked out.
Because of this, he remembers being embarrassed when he was offered the honorary degree, which he felt he had not earned.
“I didn’t study. I didn’t do essays and stuff,” Neeson said. “I was a wee bit like, ‘Really? Thanks, guys.’”

Liam Neeson Is Promoting His New Horror Sci-Fi Film ‘Cold Storage’
Neeson was on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” promoting his new science fiction horror film, “Cold Storage.”
The movie tells the story of two workers whose world is turned upside down after a contagious, parasitic fungus is accidentally released from a former military base beneath the self-storage facility where they work.
Georgina Campbell and Joe Keery play the leads, Naomi and Travis. Neeson plays a retired bioterror specialist called Robert Quinn, who is called upon to help deal with the outbreak.
In an interview with SFX Magazine, Keery spoke about what it was like to work with Neeson.
“Liam is killer. We grew up with his movies, so this was pretty crazy,” Keery said, per Parade. “Working with him was checking a big box for me.”

Congresswoman Sarah McBride is always looking out for traitors … which is probably why she’s such a fan of “The Traitors” on Peacock — and she tells us the show isn’t all that different from Washington!
We caught up with McBride Tuesday on Capitol Hill, where she described what it’s like working in D.C. … “Sometimes it feels more like ‘Real Housewives,’ sometimes it feels more like ‘Traitors,’ and let’s be honest, there’s a lot of overlap between the two.”
With the revelation that the Democratic Representative from Delaware is an avid viewer of the reality show, our photog had to ask … how does she rank the political players in D.C.?
Pressed for who’s the most treacherous candidate for Traitor candidacy, McBride wasn’t shy … watch the video to hear her pick!
Like any good reality show, D.C.’s back-biting and betrayals make for great villains … but McBride also has some thoughts about the most promising Faithfuls in the D.C. fishbowl.
