Working at a boutique, I learned quickly that not every dress makes it past spring. You’d see someone buy a piece in March, wear it once or twice, then move on when the weather changed.

15. Errand-Ready: When errand runs include the dry cleaner, post office and a gal pal lunch, go with this blue striped dress that handles the loop without changing.

Heather Rae El Moussa is back like she never left!

The “Selling Sunset” star warmed the hearts of her fans with pleasing news about her return to the Netflix hit reality series, and her fans are going wild.

Heather Rae El Moussa exited “Selling Sunset” in 2023 on the 7th season because she was not called back to continue on the series after her maternity leave.

The media personality melted hearts with exciting news and a stunning wardrobe to match as she updated the public about her next line of action regarding “Selling Sunset.” Heather, dressed in a strapless black leather number, paired with a tennis diamond necklace, and other accessories, including her blinding diamond ring.

She seemingly dialed Jason Oppenheimer’s contact on her phone in the clip. The reality star then gleefully informed Jason that she is back to give the fans a show on the reality series. Another scene showed that the call was made right in front of the Oppenheim group’s office as Heather strutted her stuff right into the building.

“See you at sunset,” the caption declared, accompanied by the picture of a camera. Heather tagged two important personalities in the post, including Netflix and luxury videographer Emilio Pilapil, who brought her iconic clip to life. The TV queen looked extremely radiant with her blonde hair styled to perfection in a messy bun and scanty bangs combo. It did not take long for fans to swamp the comment section with someone declaring, “You alone will save that show [hands raised emoji].”

The 38-Year-Old’s Latest Information Fell On Pleasant Ears

Heather’s loved ones and admirers instantly swarmed under her post with goodwill messages and pleasant anticipation about a good time about to be had. “So iconic!! The OG is back!” One Instagram user wrote to which Heather replied “yesss” with flaming emoji.

Heather’s husband’s ex-wife, Christina Haack, also dropped by in the comment section with some fire emojis and massive encouragement. Another pal of the Netflix star, Monica Lee Sims, was “SO EXCITED” to have the media personality back on her screen.

Celebrity trainer and weight loss coach, Paulina Stein, was equally happy to hear the news of her return. Reality TV star, Sandy Gallagher, revealed that she was ready to be fully entertained by Heather as she takes on the new season of the show.

How Heather Rae El Moussa Dropped The Bombshell Of Her Exit In 2023

The 38-year-old finally confirmed that her reduced absence in episodes towards the end of season 7 was because she would not be on the show’s eighth season. Heather revealed the exclusive information at a Formula 1 event in Las Vegas, confessing that she has no idea what she was allowed to say, but her fate as regards season 8 of “Selling Sunset” is sealed.

The reality star quickly added that she would not let her absence deter her from pursuing other careers on television, like the second season of “The Flipping El Moussas.” 

As shared by The Blast, when the poster for season 7 of “Selling Sunset” appeared, other castmates were present except Heather, which sparked outrage among fans. Heather herself reacted to the Netflix poster, stating: “Selling Sunset Season 7, Looks like I got pushed in the water… It’s a good thing I can swim.”

Heather’s Co-Star Was Displeased Over Her Portrayal In ‘Selling Sunset’ Season 7

Heather’s pal, Bre Tiesi, was team Heather when she made that post about being pushed in the water, and she reposted it on her Snapchat with reassuring words that she would never betray the reality star.

The Blast noted that prior to that post, she had expressed her disappointment over the fact that Heather’s appearance was being gradually diminished from the show and the upcoming season.

Speaking about the development, Tiesi noted, “I absolutely adore Heather. I’m very sad to hear that she is not going to be as big a part, but, honestly, I don’t know too much about it. They kinda keep us separate from all of that. But I am devastated to hear that. We are really close.”

Heather had shot a few scenes on the show’s seventh season before retreating to observe her maternity leave following the birth of her child. The reality star was beyond excited to make a return as soon as her maternity leave was done, but that never happened.

Heather Rae El Moussa Is Leaning Into A More Private Life Since Welcoming Her Child

The reality star welcomed her child in 2023 with Tarek El Moussa, almost two years after getting married. Following her entry into motherhood, the reality star significantly cut back on her social media usage to enable her bond with her child away from the noise on social media.

According to Heather, she made a tweet about trying to find a balance between the bliss of motherhood and maintaining her identity as a famous face. She confessed that her priorities took a massive shift, and her son, alongside her family, is now atop the shelf, which meant she needed to create a favorable schedule and stick to it.

Heather noted that she now uses any break from her toddler to catch some sleep, track her emails, review designs, get some exercise in, have a great meal, and know what is next on her real estate projects.

Welcome back, Heather Rae El Moussa!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle reportedly did not watch King Charles‘ recent public address, reflecting the ongoing distance between them and the royal family.

Communication between the duke and his father remains limited, with no recent meetings despite the monarch’s visit to the US. His relationship with Prince William is also described as strained.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle continue their independent work outside the royal family, balancing charitable efforts with private ventures.

Sources claim there was no livestream, no replay, and no private viewing of King Charles’ US speech for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, signaling what some describe as an increasingly complete emotional and physical separation from royal life.

According to a report, one insider said the decision highlights how far the relationship has shifted, suggesting that what was once “unthinkable” has now become routine distance.

Harry is said to have had no direct contact with Charles during his recent time in the United States, with no planned meeting despite the monarch’s highly anticipated visit.

“There is no relationship right now,” a source claimed. “No calls. No messages. No outreach. No backchannel. It has gone completely cold.”

The Duke And Duchess’s Trip To Australia Has Worsened The Rift: ‘They Do Not Need The Palace’

According to sources who spoke to journalist Rob Shuter’s #ShuterScoop, Harry and Meghan’s controversial but successful Aussie tour shattered whatever progress they had made in mending the royal rift.

The couple made a splash in Australia, taking part in high-profile engagements, while leading ticketed events, such as the duke’s InterEdge Psychosocial Safety Summit and the duchess’s women’s retreat.

“That trip was the final break,” an insider noted. “The palace saw it as confirmation [that] they are fully out. Harry and Meghan saw it as proof they no longer need the institution.”

Sources claim the Montecito-based royals no longer think they need King Charles’ permission or approval from the monarchy to carry out their plans.

“They are done looking back,” a source alleged, adding that Harry and Meghan feel they do not “need Charles. They do not need the palace. They do not need permission. They’ve moved on.”

Royal Rift Described As ‘Standoff’ As Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Continue Independent Path

According to People Magazine, some observers say the situation has reached a standstill, with royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith describing it as a “standoff” with no clear path forward.

At the same time, Harry and Meghan continue to shape a different kind of public role, balancing charitable efforts with independent, revenue-generating work.

Their recent tour of Australia, which included hospital visits and commemorative events, echoed traditional royal duties while highlighting the hybrid path they now follow outside the institution.

However, critics within royal circles argue that this approach could further strain relationships. Ailsa Anderson, who previously served Queen Elizabeth II, suggested it “won’t help Harry’s case or promote good relations.”

However, those close to the couple reject that view, emphasizing that they are “not reliant on Harry’s father or taxpayer-funded money.” The insider added, “They pay their own bills and make their own money while continuing to support a lot of causes that might otherwise go unseen. It enables them to do what they love.”

King Charles Faces Scrutiny Over Decision Not To Meet Prince Harry During US Visit

Meanwhile, Charles III’s decision not to include a reunion with Harry during his US visit has drawn increased scrutiny, with insiders pointing to timing and optics as key reasons.

According to royal commentator John McDermott, a meeting between father and son could have shifted attention away from the purpose of the trip. He told USA Today that such a moment would likely dominate headlines, overshadowing the focus of the visit.

Charles, alongside Queen Camilla, is said to be prioritizing diplomatic goals, particularly reinforcing UK–US relations during the 250th anniversary of American independence, without introducing “competing narratives.”

Some sources also believe Harry and Meghan’s recent activities may have complicated matters further.

Their high-profile tour of Australia, which mirrored aspects of official royal engagements, was reportedly not well received in palace circles and may have contributed to hesitation around arranging a reunion.

Prince Harry Defends His Role As Meghan Markle Stands Firm Beside Him Amid Ongoing Royal Strain

During a recent visit to Ukraine, Harry pushed back against being described as a “non-working royal,” insisting he still sees himself as actively serving a purpose.

“I will always be part of the royal family,” he said, adding that he continues to focus on the work he “was born” to do.

Behind the scenes, those close to Harry and Meghan describe a strong and aligned partnership when it comes to navigating royal family dynamics.

Sources told People Meghan “lets him lead on all royal matters, but it would never put them at odds — they’re on the same team.”

Another insider noted that the situation remains deeply emotional, though both are approaching it with realism rather than urgency.

According to the source, any progress toward reconciliation is expected to come gradually, with Meghan remaining supportive as Harry continues to process and prioritize what matters most to him.

Timothée Chalamet is catching heat online. The Oscar-nominated actor found himself trending after attending a New York Knicks playoff game, but instead of the action on the court, fans were focused on how he was sitting. Chalamet was seated courtside between girlfriend Kylie Jenner and comedian Tina Fey during the Knicks’ 126-97 Game 5 win over the Atlanta Hawks. Photos from the night showed Timothée Chalamet sitting with his legs spread wide, and social media users were quick to call it out.

Fans didn’t hold back as images from the game made their way to X, with some accusing Chalamet of being inconsiderate toward Fey. “Timothee Chalamet, if you don’t stop manspreading on Tina Fey, I swear to god,” one user wrote. Another added, ‘She’s thinking he shouldn’t manspread so she could be comfortable. What a jerk.’

Despite the online backlash, Chalamet kept his focus on the action; the real headline of the night came from the court. After a relatively quiet start to the series, Brunson came through in a major way during Game 5, dropping 39 points to lead the New York Knicks to a dominant 126-97 win over the Atlanta Hawks at Madison Square Garden.

The standout performance marked his best showing of the series and helped push the Knicks to a 3-2 lead, putting them one win away from advancing to the Eastern Conference semifinals.

Double Date Night In NYC After The Game

After the buzzy courtside appearance, Kylie Jenner and Timothée Chalamet kept the night going with a low-key double date in New York City. The couple met up with Jordyn Woods and her fiancé, Karl-Anthony Towns, at the upscale steakhouse 4 Charles Prime Rib, according to photos obtained by Page Six. Chalamet and Jenner were spotted arriving hand-in-hand, though they entered separately from Towns and Woods. Hours later, the two pairs were seen leaving the restaurant separately as well.

Chalamet and Jenner were first linked in April 2023 and later confirmed their relationship with a PDA-filled moment at a Beyoncé concert that September. The romance came shortly after Jenner’s split from Travis Scott, with whom she shares two children.

Timothée Chalamet Teases Dark Turn In ‘Dune: Part Three’

Even as he makes headlines off-screen, Timothée Chalamet is gearing up for one of his most anticipated roles yet. The actor is set to return as Paul Atreides in “Dune: Part Three,” which hits theaters on December 18 and is based on Dune Messiah.

Speaking at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on April 14, Chalamet hinted at a darker evolution for his character. “He’s become his worst vision,” he said. “And it’s 17 years later, and he’s struggling to retain the parts of himself he sees the most and trying to figure out how to still protect those he loves in his life while becoming an all-powerful, dark emperor of the universe,” he said.

The next installment will explore what happens as Paul rises to power and the consequences that come with it.

Jenner Shares Favorite Chalamet Film

Earlier this month, Kylie Jenner gave fans a rare glimpse into her relationship with Timothée Chalamet, this time by revealing her favorite of his films. Appearing on Kid Cudi’s “Big Bro” podcast, Jenner admitted it wasn’t easy to choose.

“That’s hard for me because I feel like I really love them all,” she said, before adding, “but ‘Call Me by Your Name’ is pretty perfect.” She also showed love for his more recent work, sharing, “And I really love the ‘Dune’ [films],” and revealing she’s watched his 2023 movie ‘Wonka’ ‘like seven times.’”

Timothée Chalamet Gives Rare Public Shoutouts To Kylie Jenner

While the couple tends to keep things private, Timothée Chalamet made headlines earlier this year after publicly praising Kylie Jenner during award season. At the Critics’ Choice Awards in January, Chalamet gave Jenner a heartfelt nod while accepting his award. “Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation,” he said. “I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.”

He followed it up just a week later at the Golden Globes, once again acknowledging Jenner at the end of his speech, saying: “For my partner, I love you.”

Ashley Tisdale is proving she’s thriving, both personally and professionally, despite recent drama making headlines. The “High School Musical” alum is celebrating a huge win with her wellness and beauty brand, Being Frenshe. Created in partnership with beauty incubator Maesa, the line was inspired by Ashley Tisdale’s wellness blog and focuses on scented hair care, body mists, and fragrances.

Ashley Tisdale’s ‘Being Frenshe’ Hits $250M, Turning Past ‘Failure’ Into Major Comeback

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the company has officially surpassed $250 million in sales and reached $100 million in annual point-of-sale sales at Target, a major achievement for the brand, which launched in 2022.

The milestone marks a full-circle moment for Tisdale, who previously launched Illuminate Cosmetics in 2016, a venture that ultimately shut down in 2020. “It was very stressful. I just felt like it was probably the biggest failure in my career thus far,” she admitted.

Now, with Being Frenshe’s success, Tisdale has solidified her transition from actress to entrepreneur.

Tisdale Surprised By Her Own Passion For Fragrance

Tisdale also opened up about discovering a love for fragrance creation, something she didn’t initially expect. “I just never thought it would be my cup of tea,” she said. “I’ve been someone who’s obsessed with candles and fragrance, but to create a line that people love and go on TikTok to share how much they love the scent, it just makes you feel so good.”

As Ashley Tisdale celebrates the massive success of Being Frenshe, past comments about her approach to self-care are taking on new meaning. Long before launching the brand, Tisdale emphasized how important wellness was in her life, especially when it came to skincare and mental health.

“One thing that I have always done is spend a lot more on my skin care than my makeup,” she told Vogue in 2022. “Self-care is super important to me, and skin care is a part of that. I’m very open about how I’ve struggled with mental health.” As a result, Tisdale has built small daily rituals to keep herself centered, such as opening a window, lighting a candle, or sticking to her morning and nighttime skincare routines.

Ashley Tisdale Opens Up About Feeling ‘Left Out’ In Viral ‘Toxic Mom Group’ Essay

The business win comes on the heels of Tisdale’s viral essay for The Cut, where she detailed her experience leaving what she described as a “toxic” Hollywood mom group. In the piece, titled “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” Tisdale opened up about feeling excluded during her postpartum period after welcoming her second daughter, Emerson, with husband Christopher French.

She described seeing social gatherings on social media that she hadn’t been invited to, writing, “It took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I’d left behind years ago.”

“Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed thinking, ‘Maybe I’m not cool enough?’” she wrote. “All of a sudden, I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing wrong to be left out.”

Tisdale Says Mom Group Turned ‘Too High School’ As Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor Rumors Swirl

While Tisdale didn’t name names, fans quickly speculated the group may have included stars like Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor. Tisdale said she eventually confronted the group, telling them things had become ‘too high school’ for her.

“To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),” she claimed. “But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive, for me anyway.”

The situation sparked additional reactions, including criticism from Duff’s husband and a response from Trainor, who said, “I think it was just a lot of miscommunication and confusion.” “I don’t really know what happened, but I wish them all the best. I texted all of them. Ashley texted me, ‘I’m sorry, your name got dragged in,” she revealed.

Ashley Tisdale Stands By Viral Essay, Says It ‘Reached Who It Needed To Reach’

Despite the backlash, Tisdale made it clear she stands by her decision to share her experience. “I think that in the audience, it was for, the response I got was pretty amazing. It reached who it needed to reach,” the actress said.

Vice President JD Vance revealed his pregnant wife Usha Vance’s reaction to him being rushed off stage during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.

“I think, honestly, it was tougher for my wife, who was at home with the kids and started hearing things through text messages and social media, than it was for me,” JD, 41, told Fox News on Monday, April 29. “I really didn’t know what was going on.”

The vice president was evacuated from the ballroom of the Washington Hilton several seconds before Secret Service agents got President Donald Trump out of the room when shots broke out on Saturday, April 25. (Trump, 79, later explained to 60 Minutes that he “wanted to see what was going on” before evacuating the ballroom with his wife, first lady Melania Trump.)

Describing the harrowing events, JD told Fox News, “I’m sitting up there on the dais with some journalists and obviously the President of the United States a few seats to my right. There’s a lot of commotion. You hear some loud noises. I had no idea what it was.”

President Donald Trump praised first lady Melania Trump’s reaction to a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “I want to thank the first lady, that was a rather traumatic experience for her,” Trump, 79, told reporters from the White House on Saturday, April 25. “We’re not going to let anybody take over our society, […]

“Before I had any idea what was going on, I started seeing people duck under their tables or respond to what was going on far in the back of the ballroom,” he went on. “An agent comes and whispers in my ear, says basically, ‘Sir, we have to leave.’ … The agent sort of lifts me to my feet and I walk off stage and go to my hold room and wait and see what’s going on.”

JD admitted that he wasn’t really “freaked out” until he heard that a Secret Service agent had been shot. (A bullet struck the agent’s protective vest and he was hospitalized for treatment.)

“In the fog of war, I actually thought, ‘This guy is seriously injured or maybe worse,’” the politician remembered. “We found later that he was not seriously injured. As you learn this information, the thing that I really gained an appreciation for, is what an amazing job the agents of the Secret Service do.”

California native Cole Tomas Allen was apprehended during the shooting and subsequently charged with attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, per the Justice Department. He has not yet entered a plea.

Meanwhile, the Vances announced in January that Usha is pregnant with their fourth child. (They also share sons Ewan, 8, and Vivek, 5, and daughter Mirabel, 3.)

“We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy,” the Vances announced on January 20. “Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July.”

Their statement concluded, “During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children.”

In March, Usha opened up to NBC News about her and JD’s decision to have a fourth child.

“I grew up in a family of two, and I thought that was a great number. And then I had two kids, and I thought — I didn’t feel quite done, right? So I really wanted to have a third child,” she explained. “We did feel very complete with a third child, in many ways. We have our daughter, who’s amazing, and it was great. And so I just wasn’t sure. But as time passed, I realized that I was feeling more and more excited about that possibility.”

Usha added, “And so if there was a chance, I should take it. I knew that I’d be happy if we only had three kids, and I knew that I’d be happy if we had four. And so here we are.”

The Vances have been married since 2014.

Timothée Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner has taken center stage once again, and this time, it is not just gossip driving the conversation. 

The actor’s growing openness about his romance is now causing a noticeable shift among his most dedicated fans. 

Some are walking away entirely, while others are questioning what this new chapter means for his image. 

At the same time, insiders say the couple is moving forward seriously, even as outside reactions continue to intensify.

Timothée Chalamet’s fan base has hit a breaking point, led by one of his most recognizable supporters. 

Simone Cromer, the 59-year-old behind Club Chalamet, officially stepped away from the actor, ending years of devotion.

Cromer had previously expressed “pain and heartache” over his relationship with Kylie Jenner, even going as far as editing the socialite out of images and refusing to mention her by name. 

However, she ultimately chose to leave the fandom herself, citing how much things had changed. “To deny the obvious is to be obtuse and bury your head in the sand,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“This fan community is not the same as it was four years ago. The notable shift was exactly 12 months ago, and the clock started to tick. Basically, so much has changed from what we all initially signed up for that it doesn’t resemble what lured us here in the first place,” Cromer added.

Her exit mirrors a past pattern. Years earlier, she had been a dedicated supporter of actor Michael Fassbender before stepping away around the time he married Alicia Vikander. 

Now, it appears Cromer has shifted her attention again, this time toward rising actor Connor Storrie.

Chalamet And Kylie Grow Serious Behind Closed Doors

Despite fan backlash, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner appear to be growing closer than ever. 

According to insiders, the relationship has reached a deeply personal level, with the “Dune” star becoming part of Kylie’s inner circle.

“Kylie’s entire family loves Timothée,” one insider told the Daily Mail. “He calls them his second family. When he’s in LA he and Kylie live together in her Hidden Hills home and he is very involved with her children, Stormi and Aire. Kylie told him there’s no one else she’d consider having another child with,” they added. 

The couple has reportedly built a stable dynamic, spending time together privately while also supporting each other publicly. 

Their bond has only strengthened as they navigate increasing attention, with insiders suggesting they are focused on maintaining what they’ve built.

Timothée Chalamet Faces Proposal Talk As Kylie Jenner Hesitates

Chalamet may be ready for the next step, but Kylie is approaching things more cautiously. 

Sources say the 30-year-old has discussed proposing, though Kylie is not eager to rush into marriage.

“Timothée has talked proposing to Kylie, but she doesn’t want to get married, at least not yet. She told him when couples get married things usually start to go downhill,” an insider shared.

According to them, Chalamet has been seeking advice from Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner, and sister, Kendall Jenner, on how to make his girlfriend change her mind. 

The reality TV star’s hesitation is said to stem from her family’s history, which includes several high-profile divorces. 

That reality has shaped her outlook, making her more careful about long-term commitments.

Even so, her family reportedly supports the relationship and frequently encourages the couple to make things official.

Inside Chalamet And Kylie’s Relationship Timeline From Private To Public

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner first crossed paths in January 2023 during Paris Couture Week at a Jean Paul Gaultier show. By April, rumors of a romance had begun circulating, though the pair kept things quiet.

They eventually confirmed their relationship publicly at a Beyoncé concert in September 2023 before appearing together at the US Open. 

From there, they became more visible, attending events and gradually embracing public displays of affection.

By early 2024, Kylie was a regular presence at award shows alongside Chalamet, including their Golden Globes debut.

Their growing comfort in the spotlight led to increased speculation, especially during this year’s awards season.

Things became even more intense after a viral video appeared to show Ariana Grande asking, “Oh my God, are you guys engaged?” 

Around the same time, Chalamet gave a coy response in an interview when asked if he had a girlfriend and if he would get married, saying, “You’re going to get me in trouble, man,” before adding, “Yes. Yes.”

Timothée Chalamet And Kylie Jenner Adjust Life After Public Scrutiny

Charlize Theron is drawing a firm line when it comes to her future relationships.

During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the Oscar-winning actress revealed she has no intention of ever living with a partner again, despite still being open to love.

The “Mad Max” star explained that her priorities have shifted. She said her children, Jackson, 14, and August, 11, are taking center stage. She also revealed that they have started asking more questions about her dating life. While Theron isn’t closing the door on romance, she made it clear any future partner will need to live nearby, but not under the same roof.

While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Theron opened up about a boundary she has set for future relationships, revealing she has no plans to ever live with a partner again. According to the actress, she’s serious about the decision, even if some people close to her still think she’s joking.

That doesn’t mean she’s against closeness. The “Bombshell” star stressed that connection still matters, but on her own terms.

“I would love for you to be close, like buy the house down the street, but I don’t know if I can,” she said, per PEOPLE Magazine.

Theron Says Her Kids Come First

Theron made it clear her children are at the heart of her decision. Explaining her stance, the actress suggested it may be tied to the fact that she still shares her home with her two daughters, Jackson and August.

“Maybe it’s because I still have my daughters in the house, and maybe that will change when I’m an empty nester, but I’m looking for something very specific,” she said.

Her remarks struck a chord with Barrymore, who acknowledged that the choice did appear rooted in putting her children first. Theron doubled down, admitting it’s “impossible” not to, while emphasizing that her kids will always come before anything else in her life.
