Bhad Bhabie Explains Why She Dissolved Her Lip Fillers

On Saturday, May 23, Bhad Bhabie uploaded a close-up selfie to her Instagram Story, showing followers what she called her “natural lips.” In the post, she revealed that her lips are currently filler-free after dissolving her lip fillers, adding that lips “can grow and shrink with age.”

In a follow-up post, the rapper shared that she spent years repeatedly getting her lips filled and dissolved because she believed something looked off. However, she later discovered the issue was tied to a pigmentation condition rather than the filler itself.

Bhad Bhabie revealed that a dermatologist diagnosed her with a loss of pigmentation after multiple dissolving treatments. She added that she is now focused on correcting the issue through lip-blushing treatments and other cosmetic procedures.

Social Media Reacts

Social media users quickly flooded The Shade Room Teens’ comment section with reactions to Bhad Bhabie’s posts.

Instagram user @diijah.b wrote, “I hate this girl feels she has to explain everything and her body to yall.”

Another Instagram user @tiarafromnycc_ wrote, “Now baby.. we know that’s not your natural lip. But it’s ok. You still cute 🫶🏽”

While Instagram user @ms.boujeebaby wrote, “I love being a black woman thats all I gotta say 🥰🥰🥰”

Instagram user @ms.milkmarieee wrote, “She prolly feel like she always gotta explain herself do to yall feeling like yall always gotta attack her idkkk”

Another Instagram user @reallyashlee wrote, “We was born but not yesterday sis”

While Instagram user @_nylecia wrote, “Your lips can grow??? Never heard this 😭”

Instagram user @bratphul wrote, “Why does it matter at this point? 99.9% of celebrities & influencers have some type of cosmetics done & it’s nothing wrong with that.”

Another Instagram user @daddy.neeesh wrote, “She know she made that right up 😭 we remember them balled up lips on dr Phil show BYE FR 😂”

While Instagram user @lovergirldiaries001 wrote, “Queen please stop explaining yourself to everyone!! It’s YOUR body. People are always worried about WOMENS BODYS!

Bhad Bhabie Gives Amber Rose Her Flowers After Debuting Blonde Buzz Cut

Earlier this month, Bhad Bhabie debuted a blonde buzz cut that quickly sparked comparisons to Amber Rose across social media. The rapper’s new hairstyle also came shortly after she addressed allegations accusing her of trying to look like a Black woman.

After fans began debating the similarities online, Bhad Bhabie took to Instagram to give Amber Rose credit for inspiring the look.

“Yall don’t have to defend me saying Amber doesn’t own ‘blonde buzz cut’ because actually SHE DOES,” she wrote. “When I was back in my pixie phase, I literally said, ‘Imma do a blonde buzz cut like Amber.’”

Amber Rose later reposted Bhad Bhabie’s comments to her Instagram Story, writing, “Twin @bhadbhabie ❤️🌹”

Taylor Sheridan’s name has practically become shorthand for modern television empire-building. Between Yellowstone, Tulsa King, Mayor of Kingstown, and a growing pile of spinoffs, the writer-producer has turned Paramount+ into his personal playground. But buried underneath all the cowboy drama and small-town crime sagas is arguably his most underrated series: Lioness.

Originally released as Special Ops: Lioness in 2023, the spy thriller never generated the same cultural obsession as Sheridan’s ranch dramas. Lioness debuted to a wide spectrum of critical reviews and was generally dismissed as just yet another loud, hyper-masculinized military fantasy; however, it has blossomed over the last two seasons into one of the most compelling titles on Paramount+, featuring an all-star cast, incredibly intense action sequences, and a surprisingly heartfelt foundation. Fortunately for it, the official announcement of Season 3 will allow many more potential viewers to catch up.

‘Lioness’ Turns a Familiar Spy Formula Into Something More Personal

The story of Lioness centers on Joe McNamara (Zoe Saldaña), who is a senior CIA Agent overseeing an undercover program that places women in the inner circles of high-risk targets. The summary sounds exactly like regular post-9/11 espionage TV shows. The show, however, works because it focuses on the individuals trapped in these operations.

Season 1 follows Cruz Manuelos (Laysla De Oliveira), an ex-marine who was recruited into the program after she escaped from an abusive relationship. She has been assigned to get close to Aaliyah (Stephanie Nur), the daughter of a terrorist financier, while trying to manage the emotional consequences of lying to someone she is beginning to form an attachment to. Sheridan develops the season around this emotional conflict rather than relying solely on explosions and tactical jargon.

That emotional conflict gives Lioness more bite than many modern action thrillers. Cruz is not treated like a disposable action figure, and neither is Joe, whose increasingly fractured home life becomes just as important as the missions themselves. Some of the show’s strongest scenes have nothing to do with firefights at all. They’re arguments in kitchens, exhausted phone calls, or moments where Joe realizes she’s becoming a stranger to her own family.

Zoe Saldaña Gives One of the Best Performances of Her Career

Saldaña has been at the helm of multiple billion-dollar franchises for several years, but Lioness offers her an opportunity to portray a different kind of character. Joe is brilliant, but she is also angry and exhausted, living on almost constant adrenaline. Saldaña plays Joe as someone who has been so tense in every muscle of her body for so long that she appears almost like a puppet. The reason that the performance works is that there is no romanticized version of Joe. She is good at her job to the point of obsession; however, throughout the story, it becomes clear that her career has taken a massive social and personal toll on Joe’s life. There are moments when reality seems almost too heavy — Sheridan leans into Joe’s military bravado, but Saldaña keeps the character grounded enough that the emotional consequences of that fall are felt.

Laysla De Oliveira is equally strong as Cruz. The first season lives or dies on whether viewers buy the connection between Cruz and Aaliyah, and De Oliveira sells every second of it. Her scenes carry a vulnerability that cuts through the show’s heavier tactical elements. As for the supporting cast, Nicole Kidman and Morgan Freeman could have easily phoned in roles like these, but both bring a sharpness to the series’ political side. Michael Kelly also slides naturally into Sheridan’s world of morally compromised officials and backroom power plays.

Season 2 Is Where ‘Lioness’ Really Finds Its Identity

Image via Paramount+

Lioness was well-received in Season 2 after criticism at the beginning of its run in Season 1. After the show found its flow and consistency, the same critics who wrote Lioness off initially are now seeing it in a new light. The change in perception can be attributed to greater confidence among the showrunners as the scope of the political intrigue and the character development continue to evolve. The show is moving away from a straight anti-terrorist thriller and is truly embracing the fact that it presents women as protagonists in a male-dominated genre without reducing them to caricatures or stereotypes.

The pacing and the brutality of the fight scenes also increase as the show progresses. Sheridan stages combat with an almost documentary-style intensity. The rescue mission that opens Season 2 is one of the most tense action sequences he’s directed outside Sicario. At the same time, the show gets better at slowing down when it needs to. Joe’s growing disillusionment with her job gives the second season more weight, especially as her family starts questioning the life she’s chosen.

Beneath all the gunfire and covert operations is a show about burnout, patriotism, sacrifice, and the emotional damage left behind by endless war. It may never become as massive as Yellowstone, but Lioness deserves far more attention than it gets. Few streaming thrillers move this fast while still giving their characters room to breathe. Even fewer manage to make hardened operatives feel genuinely human.

Brandi Glanville believes that she might have contracted “sexually transmitted ringworm.”

“I have a quick question. Have you heard about sexually transmitted ringworm?” Glanville, 53, asked podcast guest Lisa Ann on the Thursday, May 21, episode of her “Brandi Unfiltered” show. “I feel like I have it … in my throat.”

Ringworm is a fungal infection that can affect the hair, skin or nails, according to the CDC. It can spread through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, which causes more severe infections.

“It’s one of these things that most people don’t know what to look for,” Ann, an author and media personality, claimed. “We had to train our makeup artists that when a new member of talent would show up, they would have to get naked in a window where there’s good light and they would inspect their body to see if they see any patches because it’s incredibly contagious.”

Brandi Glanville is ready for her close-up after a years-long struggle with what she has described as a face parasite. Glanville, 53, shared a new Instagram photo on Sunday, January 25, after undergoing a cosmetic procedure. The former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was seen beaming in the snap, which also features healthcare strategist […]

As for Glanville, she believes that she allegedly contracted the infection after dating “somebody in that industry.”

“He would only, you know, my face … because he didn’t want to get me pregnant,” she said, without identifying her date. “He didn’t know that ship had sailed. I’m like, ‘OK, whatever, I’m not going to correct you. Alright, honey.’ And in my mouth in all that, [then] my girlfriend told me about it yesterday. I knew nothing about it.”

Glanville said that she already underwent multiple tests to find out if she had a sexually transmitted disease in her throat, which came back negative.

“I really just heard about ringworm yesterday, and they can apparently … burrow in, like, if it’s in your throat,” the Bravo alum said. “If it’s in your throat, they can burrow deep into your ears and all that.”

Lockout begins with Guy Pearce being punched in the face. He’s playing an operative named Snow, and he’s unfazed by the blood dripping down his face. He’s rewarded for each of his witty retorts with another punch, but he keeps right on quipping, keeps right on taking those punches. 2012’s Lockout is that kind of action movie.

With a genius performance, Guy Pearce created one of the best action heroes since John McClane; unfortunately, he’s wasted in a mediocre prison-break movie that just happens to be set in outer space. Lockout could have been the next Escape from New York. Snow is everything you’d want in a modern-day Snake Plissken, but for most of its running time, Lockout fails to muster up the energy necessary to match its dynamic lead character.

In Space, No One Can Hear You Escape

The plot involves a maximum security prison floating in near-Earth orbit. Why keep a prison outside our atmosphere? It’s not to keep the inmates in check since all the prisoners are kept unconscious. That’s the biggest problem with Lockout: it’s set in outer space for no real reason other than that someone thought that might be fun. It doesn’t make much sense, but they were right; it is.

The prisoners find a way to regain consciousness and quickly seize control of their maximum-security space station. As luck would have it, the prison takeover coincides with an inspection by the president’s daughter (Maggie Grace). She’s quickly taken hostage. To get her out, they’ll need the craziest badass planet Earth has to offer, and as we’ve learned by watching a guy named Rupert punch him in the face, that’s definitely Snow.

Going Fast And Slow

Watching Guy Pearce insult, mock, and blow up everyone who gets in his way is a delight. Worth the price of admission. But as an action movie, sometimes Lockout doesn’t know what level it’s supposed to work at.

Some of it moves so blazingly fast that it’s almost impossible to follow what’s going on. A high-speed chase on Earth is reduced to a series of random blurs, probably to hide bad computer-generated FX, but whatever the reason, it’s a mess.

Up on the space station, things move more slowly and boil down to a lot of skulking around in air ducts. I really wish action movies would find something other than air ducts to use.

Guy Pearce Makes Lockout A Must-See

Pearce is electric, and the outer-space elements, when they’re moving at a reasonable speed, add an admittedly unnecessary but entirely fun secondary layer to what’s going on. With a little work, maybe this could have been the next Demolition Man; instead, it’s a mid-level action movie with an unforgettable character who keeps getting punched and then gets back up to quip again.

Mid-level or not, Lockout is worth watching for Guy Pearce. Those quips are dynamite.

Sued For Being Too Much Like A Great Movie

Lockout’s similarities to Escape From New York aren’t just my opinion; it’s the opinion of French courts. John Carpenter, Escape From New York co-writer Nick Castle, and rights holder StudioCanal sued in France, arguing that Luc Besson and EuropaCorp had plagiarized their film.

In 2015, a French court agreed and awarded €80,000 in damages, far below the roughly €3 million the plaintiffs had reportedly sought. Besson appealed, but in 2016 a Paris appeals court not only upheld the ruling, it increased the damages to €450,000, finding that Lockout had “massively borrowed key elements” from Carpenter’s 1981 film.

Besson’s side argued the movie was just working in familiar genre territory and that Escape From New York had influences of its own, but the court was not persuaded. It was a rare case where the usual “homage or rip-off?” debate around genre movies became an actual legal defeat.

Why Lockout Failed

At the box office, Lockout never found much traction. Released in April 2012 by Open Road Films, the movie opened to just over $6 million domestically and quickly disappeared from theaters, finishing its U.S. run with around $14 million. Worldwide grosses pushed it past $32 million against a reported budget in the neighborhood of $20 million, meaning it wasn’t a total financial disaster, but it also wasn’t the kind of return needed to launch the sci-fi action franchise EuropaCorp appeared to be aiming for.

The film arrived at a time when audiences were becoming increasingly selective about theatrical sci-fi, with mid-budget originals squeezed between giant superhero spectacles and established franchises. In another era, Lockout probably would have become a reliable sleeper hit on VHS or cable. In 2012, it mostly got buried.

Critically, the response landed in the familiar “fun but dumb” territory surrounding many Luc Besson-produced action movies of the era. The Fifth Element mastermind Luc Besson produced and served as co-writer in Lockout, but didn’t direct it, which might explain some of its problems.

Fans Previously Peeped Keyanna Joseph Reacting To Big Mama’s Pregnancy

Despite what the internet might think, Keyanna Joseph has seemingly shown love to Latto before. In March, she appeared to support Latto amid her pregnancy announcement. At the time, fans speculated that Latto might be expecting her first child after she went MIA for a minute. She then popped back up on social media, teasing a short visual that only showed her shoes and featured her feeding a baby cheetah. While folks tried to figure out whether she planned to drop new music or a baby announcement, it turned out to be both! Shortly after Big Mama’s reveal, fans peeped that Keyanna double-tapped Latto’s teaser clip. She didn’t drop a comment, but folks instantly started trying to figure out whether she cosigned or was confirming Latto and 21’s status.

One of the coolest things about Star Trek is that this franchise has had plenty of world-building from the very beginning. Some concepts, such as faster-than-light travel, are grounded in real-world scientific theories, but the writers and producers had to figure out how those scientific ideas would advance within the next few centuries. For example, how would these future explorers classify the different worlds they have discovered? The Original Series gave us a partial answer, revealing that Earth-like worlds are referred to as M-class planets.

This designation was still used in The Next Generation by Captain Picard and his crew, and the term was repeated in spinoffs like Deep Space Nine and Voyager. However, after decades of hearing this term, fans began to ask the obvious questions: what does “M-class” even mean? Where does the term come from, and when did Starfleet begin using it? Eventually, these mysteries were answered by “Strange New World,” a forgotten episode from the much-maligned spinoff Star Trek: Enterprise.

A Not-So-Strange New World

In the Enterprise episode “Strange New World,” the crew has only recently begun their trek through the stars. They encounter a planet with an Earth-like atmosphere and decide to check it out. When a nasty storm approaches, some of the crew (including Tucker and Mayweather) suggest taking shelter in a cave. But things go from bad to worse when they start seeing creepy creatures inside the cave and become paranoid that T’Pol is hiding things from them. In a weird twist, it turns out there were no hostile aliens on the planet: just some wacky pollen that made everyone hallucinate. We get a relatively happy ending, and everyone gets an antidote and lives to trek another day.

So, what does this weird tale of trippy space pollen have to do with Star Trek history? It’s actually the very first episode in the franchise to spell out that the “M” in “Class M” stands for “Minshara Class.” Where did this exotic name come from, though? The Vulcans, of course. “Strange New World” reveals that “Minshara-Class” was the term used for Earth-like planets by Vulcan explorers who (at the time) gathered info from probes rather than planetary scans. Captain Archer’s Enterprise became the first Starfleet vessel to adopt the terminology, which became standard fleetwide within three years.

Setting A New Starfleet Standard

Thanks to Archer’s early adventures in episodes like “Strange New World,” Starfleet had a handy way to classify Earth-like planets. This was important because, according to the Original Series episode “Balance of Terror,” there are likely around three million such planets in the Milky Way galaxy. While Enterprise helped fans learn what M-class actually means, we are still left with a few questions. For example, the Next Generation established that there were four levels of M-class planets. While this is likely used to differentiate different planetary environments (like the arid Vulcan, the rainy Ferenginar, and the downright tropical Risa), this has never been confirmed by the franchise.

Enterprise is a much better show than fans think, and it’s definitely worth watching for these deep dives into franchise lore. Thanks to this show, we know just how much early Starfleet was indebted to the Vulcans, adopting those aliens’ planetary classification schema and using it for centuries. Honestly, that was probably a better choice than letting a space cowboy like Kirk pick the planetary designations. If Star Trek (2009) is any indicator, he’d probably call them “BB-class planets,” and we’d have to wait four decades to learn that the “BB” stands for “Beastie Boys.” Then again, who knows more than Kirk about how to fight for your right to (landing) party?

Demi Moore is embarking on a confident and fulfilling new chapter in her life, striking a balance between personal freedom, family, and continued career success.

The 63-year-old actress, who has not been publicly linked to a partner since 2022, is reportedly enjoying a social dating life while prioritizing independence.

In recent interviews and appearances, Demi Moore has also opened up about aging, while turning heads with a striking new, shorter hairstyle at Cannes and other fashion events.

Demi Moore has not been publicly linked to a new partner since her 2022 split from Swiss chef Daniel Humm, but sources say the actress has still been enjoying an active and social romantic life.

An insider claims the 63-year-old “Substance” star remains drawn to “very attractive men in their thirties and early forties,” and “has no problem reeling them in.”

According to the source, Moore enjoys the confidence and visibility she has in this stage of life and takes a selective approach to dating, preferring companionship without pressure or long-term expectations.

“It takes her time to vet a guy, but when she finds one she likes, she tends to keep him around, so she’s now got a little roster … she can call on when she’s in the mood,” they added about Moore, per Star Magazine.

The Actress’ Already Has All The Companionship She Could Ever Want’ In Her Family And Friends

Moore has been married three times. First to musician Freddy Moore, then to movie star Bruce Willis, with whom she had three daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, before their divorce in 2000.

She went on to have an eight-year marriage with Ashton Kutcher, which eventually ended in divorce in 2013.

Speaking more about Moore’s mindset on men and romance, the source noted that she no longer seeks “partner” as she “has all the companionship she could ever want in her life between her daughters and her friends.”

“[Moore] doesn’t need a partner. She needs lovers, so that’s what she’s got,” they continued, adding, “She jokes it’s one of her anti-aging secrets!”

Demi Moore Celebrates Career Highs And Personal Fulfillment

In recent interviews, Moore has shifted focus toward personal fulfillment, family, and self-acceptance.

In a 2025 appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” the 63-year-old actress celebrated a successful year that included her performance in “The Substance,” her role in “Landman,” and being named one of Glamour’s Women of the Year.

She described this period as deeply fulfilling, adding that getting older has expanded rather than diminished her sense of joy and purpose.

“I just feel like this is an amazing time, and anybody who thinks that getting older means life is less is sadly mistaken,” she said.

Moore has also spoken candidly about aging during the press tour for “The Substance,” a film exploring youth, beauty, and identity.

The actress said she has worked through years of self-criticism and now approaches herself with greater acceptance and a positive mindset about getting older.

The Golden Globe Winner Reflects On Self-Acceptance And Embracing A New Chapter Of Life

At the Gotham Awards, Moore reflected on this shift, explaining that she now sees herself more fully rather than through appearance alone.

She also emphasized how her perspective on life has softened with time, allowing her to appreciate herself with more kindness.

“I see myself and the fullness of who I am as opposed to just the external idea of who I am,” she explained.

In a 2024 appearance on “Today,” Moore also highlighted how meaningful it has been to watch her daughters, Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah, grow into adulthood, describing this stage of life as one of independence and freedom.

She said she feels excited to continue redefining her path, even if she doesn’t yet know exactly where it will lead.

“We are what the future is for women, and I look at having my daughters, and I don’t want [it] to ever be in their minds that there is an end,” the actress stated.

Demi Moore Debuts Short Hair Transformation At Cannes Film Festival In Glamorous Red Carpet Look

More recently, Moore made a striking appearance at the premiere of “La Bola Negra” during the 79th Cannes Film Festival on May 21, debuting a noticeably shorter hairstyle that marked a fresh shift from her signature long locks.

The 63-year-old actress wore a floor-length sapphire blue gown featuring an oversized bow detail and a subtle train, designed by Self-Portrait under creative director Han Chong and crafted in the label’s London atelier. She completed the look with a bold statement necklace and black sling-back heels.

According to People Magazine, what drew even more attention was her new shoulder-length lob, styled in soft, voluminous curls with a side part, giving her a modern, elegant update for the red carpet.

This isn’t the first time Moore has surprised fans with a shorter look. Earlier in the year at Milan Fashion Week, she appeared at Gucci’s FW26 show with a sleek wet-look bob, created by celebrity hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, who nicknamed the style the “Demi-tris Bob.”

Saturday Night Live UK has quickly become one of the most closely watched developments in British television comedy and that’s not just by audiences. The brains behind the original SNL and its 50+ years of success, Lorne Michaels, works in close collaboration with SNL UK showrunner James Longman (The Late Late Show with James Corden) to make sure the British humor is supported by the US format.

During a conversation between IndieWire and documentary filmmaker Morgan Neville, who recently directed Lorne, there was one key note that Michaels gave to Longman about SNL UK. Michaels suggested that one large-scale set should be rebuilt to bring performers closer to the audience in the room. He understands which parts of SNL should evolve for audiences in the UK but also which parts still require his experience and instincts. So while SNL UK is clearly connecting with British audiences with its humor, it needs to fully embrace and prioritize Lorne Michael’s format and the importance of crowd proximity.

‘SNL’ As An Audience-Driven Show and ‘SNL UK’ Should Embrace Its Crowd

Lorne Michaels sees SNL as an audience-driven show, and it succeeds when it fully embraces the crowd. His note on stage geography reflects his belief that proximity directly affects how sketches land — if live reaction is prioritized, then jokes land harder at home. SNL UK’s Weekend Update pushes for laughter in the room. Paddy Young delivered his headlines with a knowing smirk after each line. Performance-first comedy continues into the sketches themselves, especially through West End performer Annabel Marlow, who joined Hannah Waddingham in Episode 7 to sing about everything from the dangers of drinking too much wine to being a divorced drama teacher. Al Nash even did a Footlocker-themed version of The Phantom of the Opera!

This stage-first approach also appears in the way the host’s monologues have broken the boundary between performer and audience. Aimee Lou Wood gave spiritual readings to the crowd, claiming they once lived as either a dog or the Pope until an actual dog appeared and was crowned as Pablo Escobar reincarnated! These moments are built around staging and delivery as much as writing, reinforcing Lorne Michaels’ belief that SNL is best when designed outward to a live studio audience first.

There is a broader contrast at play here. British comedy television has been dominated for decades by panel shows and controlled studio formats. Programmes like Have I Got News For You and Would I Lie to You? have fixed structures where comedians operate within rules rather than perform. Even live shows like The Last Leg operate within a controlled environment, with presenters sitting in fixed positions and comedy delivered through remarks. The majority of British comedy TV shows are designed to be rerun across channels indefinitely, so they hinge on familiarity, stability, and ease of repackaging. Yet with SNL UK’s focus on performance, Lorne Michaels has brought risk and unpredictability, which has suddenly made British television comedy exciting again.

SNL UK Works So Well Due To Combining British Humor With Michael’s Trusted Format

SNL UK succeeds because it combines British humor and creative freedom with Lorne Michaels’ established format. He has allowed the UK team, led by Longman, to develop material that is deeply rooted in British culture and references. From the ZARA changing rooms to Enid Blyton, the UK humor has not been adapted for international appeal and has been allowed to remain specific. At the same time, Michaels remains closely involved with the production. Longman has described regular communication, including calls multiple times a week, texts, and notes. According to Longman in IndieWire, Michaels has said on occasion that he would not have approached some sketches in the same way, but still acknowledged when they worked. There seems to be a working relationship where the format is protected, but the execution is flexible.

In the US version, writers and cast traditionally gather in Michaels’ office to develop ideas with the host. In the UK, Longman has adapted this process so that the host comes into the writers’ room and ideas are developed more collaboratively. The writing schedule is also more flexible in the UK. While the US version is known for its intense Tuesday night writing sessions that can run overnight, the UK production allows writers to work in different ways. Some work late, others do not, and there is no expectation of staying through the night. Longman has emphasized that everyone has a different creative process, and flexibility is key.

The famous table read process also differs slightly. In the UK version, it takes place earlier in the day on Wednesday, and the overall selection process typically involves around 30 to 35 sketches being developed, with roughly eight selected for the live show, including filmed pieces. These adjustments reflect a production model that is still finding its rhythm while staying aligned with the core SNL structure. Importantly, Michaels’ influence remains present in how the format is protected. He understands what makes SNL function as a system, particularly around live performance structure, while allowing British writers and performers to shape the humor itself.

SNL UK’s success is not based on simply importing an American format into British television, but on combining two different systems in a deliberate way. Michaels’ biggest note — bringing sets closer to the audience — is a reminder that SNL depends on its live audience, crowd proximity, and performance energy as much as it depends on writing. By combining Michaels’ structural instincts with British comedic voices, SNL UK has created a version of sketch comedy that feels immediate and fresh, and importantly places performance back at the center of British television comedy.

Matt Lauria addressed the chances of a Kingdom reunion despite him being booked and busy with Sheriff Country.

“What would it take to get me to do another to do more Kingdom? It would take a phone call,” Lauria, 43, exclusively told Us Weekly. “That’s it.”

Lauria said he would reunite with his costars “in a heartbeat” — but there is one condition.

“Give me six weeks to try and get the six-pack back,” he joked. “I’m older than when we started. That was in 2014 so 12 years have gone by. But as far as I can tell, everybody’s still in shape and everybody is still very active. We could pull it off in a heartbeat.”

Kingdom, which aired from 2014 to 2017, was a gritty drama that followed a retired MMA fighter trying to keep his mixed martial arts gym afloat while managing the volatile lives and personal demons of his sons and his fighters. In addition to Lauria, the series starred Frank Grillo, Kiele Sanchez, Jonathan Tucker, Nick Jonas and Joanna Going.

“I ran into Byron Balasco, who’s now part of the CBS and Paramount family because he’s writing on one of the NCIS shows,” Lauria told Us about the reunion with Kingdom’s coshowrunner. “We kind of mumbled about a reunion and it doesn’t seem like anybody’s against it. It was one of the highlights of all of our careers — in terms of the experience we had.”

Lauria isn’t the only one with a passion for the show’s return. Grillo, 60, recently told Us he was just as ready to come back.

“Byron Balasco and Jonathan Tucker and I were just on a three-way [call],” Grillo shared in September 2025 “We were trying to figure out how we could possibly — I’m not kidding — put it together.”

The trio are looking to “come up with some ideas” and “get the band back together” to “see if we could finish an eight-episode run,” Grillo teased. “We actually talked about that.”

From sitcoms and game shows to dramas and cartoons, the list of TV reboots and revivals is a long one. Waiting to Exhale and Conan the Barbarian are both films being made into TV shows, while Gilmore Girls was transformed into four seasons for its Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life, which […]

For now, Lauria is excited to keep filming Sheriff Country where he plays the lovable Boone.

“Boone is embracing Edgewater for all that it is,” he noted. “That’s been the central journey for Boone, and I think that’s also what allowed him to really explore internally and confront his feelings for Mickey. Because normally, that would be a hard line for him not to cross.”

He continued: “But then there’s a more human side to all of this. It matters because he’d seen Mickey time and time again take a human approach with people and have it bear fruit. That contributed in large part to Boone confronting his feelings about Mickey — only to get shot down.”

Lauria is holding out hope that the audience will learn even more about Boone in season 2, saying, “He kept a lot of things close to the vest — including a secret wife. I’d love to get into more about who this dude is.”

Sheriff Country is currently streaming on Paramount+.

BroRilla Keeps Glowing Amid Online Noise and Talk

BroRilla is showing folks that nothing is slowing down her glow-up, and she’s keeping that same energy every time she steps out. Last week, she popped out in a joint reel showing her picking up and rocking a 30-inch glueless wig, instantly catching attention online. The reel was captioned, “Brorilla came by and picked up the infamous 30 inch Kim-K Glue-less Unit and broooooooo doesn’t she look stunning #memphisgirlies #901 #901memphis,” and it didn’t take long before she was back on Instagram showing off the final look.

She later dropped a carousel of photos serving glam in the 30-inch unit, with several shots seemingly taken while she was sitting on a kitchen counter, giving effortless baddie energy. Despite online chatter, including comments tied to reality TV personality Tommie Lee, BroRilla kept her focus on her content and continued posting like the noise wasn’t affecting her. Her consistent glow-up run made it clear she’s staying in her own lane and letting the looks speak for themselves.
