Leah Remini has built a decades-long career in television, best known for portraying Carrie Heffernan on the hit sitcom “The King of Queens.” She was also a longtime member of the Church of Scientology before leaving in 2013 and later becoming an outspoken critic of the religion. Now, she is taking on a very different role as the newest cast member of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.”

Season 16 of “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” is currently in production, with the cast filming both in Beverly Hills and international locations. On August 26, reports surfaced that the long-running Bravo reality show has added a new cast member: Leah Remini.

Shortly after the news spread, Remini took to Instagram to confirm the report, posting an article about her joining the franchise and writing, “It’s true!”

Remini is the second new cast member announced for the upcoming season. As The Blast previously reported, “Million Dollar Listing Los Angeles” alum Tracy Tutor will also be a full-time cast member of “RHOBH.”

The two women will join returning housewives Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Sutton Stracke, Bozoma Saint John, and Rachel Zoe, along with friends of the show, Kathy Hilton and Jennifer Tilly.

“The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” Season 15 showed fractured friendships among some of the women, most notably between Erika Jayne and Kemsley. During the reunion show, the former cited the latter’s erratic behavior and said their friendship was “done for good.”

Richards and Kemsley also had a falling out. Their friendship was already on the rocks from previous seasons, but it fell apart during the girls’ trip to Italy. They had a heated confrontation at the reunion, and in early August, Richards said that she had not received a response after congratulating Kemsley after the release of her memoir, per Bravo TV.

Season 16 is expected to bring plenty of drama as the housewives navigate shifting friendships amid their personal conflicts. With the addition of Tutor and Remini, the new season will introduce fresh personalities to the group that could shake up existing dynamics.

Leah Remini Will Start Filming Soon

While the production for “RHOBH” began early in the summer, reports say that Remini will start filming soon in Los Angeles.

The housewives seem excited about the addition. Tilly commented on Remini’s post, writing, “Oh my gosh! Welcome! We are going to have so much fun!” Hilton also welcomed the actress and wrote, “Can’t wait to meet you!!!” Saint John expressed her enthusiasm by commenting, “Wooohooooo!!! Let’s gooooooo!!!”

Fans of the show are thrilled as well, with many saying the upcoming season will be a hit. “THIS is brilliant. RHOB better buckle up cos things are about to get bumpy,” one user said.

Leah Remini Is An Anti-Scientology Advocate

Remini grew up in Scientology, joining the church at 9 years old after her mother began dating a member. She was an active participant but left the organization in 2013 after questioning policies and looking into the whereabouts of the church leader’s wife, who has not been seen in public since 2007.

Remini has since gone public with her opposition to Scientology, using her platform to discuss her experiences and those of other former members.

Her docu-series, “Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath,” premiered in 2016. In the span of three seasons, the show examined the organization through interviews with former members, focusing on their experiences and allegations of abuse and harassment. The show won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Informational Series in 2017 and Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series in 2020.

The Actress Has No Interest In Dating After Her Divorce

Remini and Angelo Pagán were together for 28 years, including 21 years of marriage, before finalizing their divorce in 2024. The former couple shares one daughter, Sofia.

Remini said it was an amicable split, and they simply grew apart. Despite no longer being romantic partners, the two maintain a close friendship and still spend time together.

In 2025, Remini said that her daughter is protective of her and her ex-husband and prohibited them from dating other people. Despite friends trying to set her up with potential partners, the actress said she wasn’t interested. “Don’t even continue your sentence. I have zero interest,” she tells them.

EDITOR’S NOTE: This interview contains spoilers for ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 4, Episode 6, “Off Hour.”

This week’s episode of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds follows one of the most harrowing hours the intrepid crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise has ever had to face in the four seasons we’ve known them. When the ship becomes trapped in a deadly warp emergency, the crew—and the ship—are pushed to the limit both physically and mentally. Written by Bill Wolkoff and directed by Dan Liu, “Off Hour” puts our heroes through the wringer, and while they come out of the disaster stronger for it, the experience also serves as a turning point for two of the ship’s key players.

I caught up with Strange New Worlds stars Martin Quinn, who plays Scotty, and Babs Olusanmokun, who plays M’Benga, to chat about how their characters are forever changed by their experiences in this episode. During our conversation, Olusanmokun broke down the fascinating dynamic between Chapel and M’Benga and why their relationship is capable of withstanding so much, especially in dire situations. Meanwhile, Quinn spoke about how Scotty is finally putting down roots on the Enterprise and how this episode takes him one step closer to becoming the “miracle worker” fans know and love from The Original Series. We also briefly spoke about last week’s incredible Muppets-style episode and how tricky it was to record audio for a puppet. You can watch the interview in the player above or read the transcript of our conversation below.

Bringing Two of ‘Strange New Worlds’ Best Dynamic Duos To Life

COLLIDER: One of the best dynamics on the show from the beginning has been M’Benga and Chapel. They’ve been through so much together, and this episode really pushes them to a breaking point. Why do you think it’s so important for him to push her to put down roots instead of just blindly following him?

BABS OLUSANMOKUN: Because he knows how she can be. He knows she really can neglect herself in a certain kind of way and is running in a way that he’s familiar with, also. I think he’s trying to save her, essentially, and say, “Hey, put down roots. These are good people. Stay here. I might be going off, but you definitely need to stay here. There’s no more running to do.” And I think he’s gotten to a place where he was very comfortable saying that to her. He’s seen enough evidence, and there is just enough love and care there that he would say that to her. He needed to say that to her.

Martin, I love the dynamic between Scotty and Pelia, as well, the sort of animosity, teacher’s pet trope turned on its head. What do you think that Scotty truly appreciates from learning from that relationship?

MARTIN QUINN: I feel like Pelia’s got this thing where she’s aware that something will happen. She’s, yeah, within a pickle, but it will either sort itself or the correct option that we need to follow will show itself. And I think that confidence that she has is something that Scotty, so far in Strange New Worlds, hasn’t quite got. You know what I mean? I think that she’s so laid back. He’s kind of the opposite, isn’t he? He’s quite uptight.

But at least that trust that we will solve this, I think that kind of trust is what he needs to trust a little bit more. I mean, that’s been his problem in Season 3, as well, wasn’t it? He didn’t trust anybody else to help. So, I think he kind of needs to trust that the answer will appear in front of him at some point. Maybe not right now, but soon.

Building off of that a little bit, Scotty’s relationships in this season in particular feel like they’ve had some big shifts. What does that say to you about him finally putting down roots on the Enterprise?

QUINN: He’s been the outsider during Season 3, but it’s great to see him slowly but surely making this his home. He’s got a lot to get over with what happened in the Stardiver, and he’s got to kind of accept now that this is his new family. He’ll have lost his family on the Stardiver, and then he’s moved away from his family that he does mention a couple of times in that episode. So, he’s got to kind of accept his new family, and it’s beautiful to see him, and for me to experience it, that he’s slowly accepted the Enterprise as his home.

Babs Olusanmokun Breaks Down M’Benga and Chapel’s Most Painful Episode Yet

Babs, you spend a lot of this episode pinned down by that medical table. I would love to hear about the logistics of filming that and hiding your legs and the progression of the gore makeup through the episode.

OLUSANMOKUN: Wow. Well, they built this apparatus, like a different table, essentially, and they reconstructed it below [for] my legs. I needed help to get into it and help to get out. They tried to make it as easy as possible for me. The production designers did a fantastic job. What we thought would be the best way, I ended up going in a different direction. I can’t remember exactly now how. There was quite a bit going into making it comfortable and making it something I could sit in for hours. And then the gore and the ice, it was a lot of work. It was a lot of work. It was a lot of sweating, but it was wonderful.

I love that. We’ve had a two-hander between you and Jess [Bush] each season. What was the biggest challenge of turning that conflict inward and towards each other rather than facing an external conflict together?

OLUSANMOKUN: At least for this episode, it’s a conflict that you know will be resolved. We’ll have resolution in terms of both care deeply for each other. As colleagues and through their history, there’s just a care there that’s not very common. She wasn’t going to let him go and let him down. He didn’t want to let her down. He wanted to make sure she got out, like, “Be gone! I’m good here.”

There’s been something so strong between them that is like, “No, if you can’t take care of this relationship, then who are you?” There’s a sense of home for both. The history they’ve had in the past and work, being combat medics together and being on the Enterprise together now, there’s a lot of history there. And they know with everything else going around, there’s something there where they can look at each other and speak very truthfully and seek the best for each other.

I think this episode was that, right? It’s like, “I can save you.” “No, you can’t. We’re both going to die.” “No, I can save you!” She convinces him, and ultimately, I think he was very, very deeply grateful for that.

Martin, I feel like Scotty’s true understanding of the Enterprise as his ship and the deeper connection to the Enterprise is established in this episode, especially in that moment when he feels the hull in the Jefferies tube. Can you talk about that shift in him?

QUINN: I think it’s realizing that the answer isn’t in a textbook. Things come up that you can’t prepare for, and that you’ve got to kind of listen and be present, rather than panic. That is the big lesson that probably we all could do with. I think that that is his journey. We all know that he becomes the miracle worker — it’s just taken lessons like that to get there. He’s got to listen and be present and not panic, and follow in the footsteps of Pelia.

Martin Quinn Had One Unexpected Problem With Scotty’s ‘Strange New Worlds’ Puppet

Lastly, going back for a brief moment, we had the amazing puppet episode in this season, as well. I am curious just how much fun you had making that episode, and how badly did you want to take your own puppet home?

QUINN: [Laughs] It was great. I had a scene as a person, a couple of scenes, but then we didn’t see it until we all had to put our voices over the top of the puppeteers’ work. For me, that was a grueling couple of hours. It was hours and hours I spent on it. I don’t know. How did you find that, Babs? I felt like I was losing my mind.

OLUSANMOKUN: No. I remember being surprised at how little I needed to go in three for the episode. But I was doing some other stuff. I don’t know if I was really working on another episode, but it felt like, apart from the big scene on the bridge, and then maybe the ADR, like laying out some stuff, it didn’t feel as heavy, work-wise, as I thought it would be.

QUINN: No, for me, I was losing my mind. It was whether or not the mouth and what I was saying was lining up, and I was like, “I need to go again. I need to go again.” It’s because the puppeteer was a Canadian guy, but he was doing his Scottish accent, and then I had to do my Scottish accent over his Scottish accent. So, it was trying to get it all to link up. And he was ad-libbing sometimes, and I was like, “Hold on, hold on. When I say that, is it when the mouth’s closed?” Do you know what I mean? I was just losing my mind. So, yeah, shout out to all the engineers in Glasgow who were patient with me during those sessions, the sound engineers.

Tim Curry fans have not seen the last of the legendary actor. The “Rocky Horror Picture Show” star completed filming his scenes for the upcoming horror sequel “Stream 2: Sudden Death” before his death at age 80. Director Michael Leavy confirmed that Curry finished all of his work on the film, meaning audiences will eventually have another opportunity to see the actor onscreen.

6

According to TMZ, Curry will reprise his role as Lockwood, a mysterious figure connected to the deadly operation at the center of the franchise. The first “Stream,” released in 2024, followed a family whose hotel getaway became a nightmare after masked killers began competing to carry out increasingly violent murders. The killings were livestreamed to an online audience that watched, placed bets, and awarded points based on the creativity of each attack.

Curry appeared near the end of the movie in a brief but important cameo as Lockwood. His character was shown wearing a plague doctor-style mask and using a wheelchair, with the scene suggesting that he was involved in a much larger organization operating the deadly game.

That appearance was not intended as a simple celebrity cameo. Leavy later explained that the filmmakers had always envisioned Lockwood as part of a broader story. “The first film only scratched the surface, and we’re excited to bring him back in a bigger role that audiences will really respond to,” the director said when Curry’s return was announced.

His Final Role Was Announced Months Before His Death

6

Curry’s expanded involvement in “Stream 2: Sudden Death” was publicly announced on June 1. The news was noteworthy because Curry had accepted relatively few live-action roles since suffering a major stroke in 2012. The medical emergency left him paralyzed on his left side and unable to walk, leading him to focus primarily on voice acting.

His cameo in the original “Stream” marked a rare return to feature films. The sequel was set to give him considerably more material and reveal additional details about Lockwood’s role within the franchise’s violent mythology. TMZ reported after Curry’s death that he had completed every scene required for the sequel.

The filmmakers have not publicly disclosed the precise dates or location of Curry’s filming. A production listing updated in July still described the project’s broader shoot date as “TBA,” but Leavy’s statement confirms that Curry’s individual work had been completed before he died on August 25.

No release date for “Stream 2: Sudden Death” has been announced.

‘Stream 2’ Will Expand The Deadly Game

6

While Leavy has remained careful about revealing major plot details, he confirmed that the sequel will follow a different family rather than returning exclusively to the survivors from the first movie. The murderous game is also expected to move from a hotel into a hospital setting.

“Now that ‘Stream’ is known and people know what it’s about, we don’t have to kind of slow play it like we did in ‘Stream 1,’” Leavy previously explained. “Now we can kind of jump right in off the rip.”

Brian Quinn of “Impractical Jokers” and producer Joe Imburgio wrote the screenplay. Curry is joined by returning cast members David Howard Thornton and Damian Maffei. Mike Giannelli, who originated the role of Art the Clown before Thornton took over the character in the “Terrifier” films, is also coming out of retirement for the sequel.

The production comes from Fuzz on the Lens Productions, the company connected to the “Terrifier” franchise.

The Director Felt Honored To Work With Tim Curry

6

Leavy said he was shocked and devastated by Curry’s death, describing the actor as a “true cultural icon.” The director remembered Curry as someone who brought humor, warmth, wit, and charm to the production. He also expressed gratitude that Curry’s final work had been completed and could still be shared with audiences.

“It’s deeply meaningful to know that audiences will still have the opportunity to celebrate the work Tim brought to this role,” Leavy told TMZ, adding that Curry left an extraordinary impression on the team both personally and professionally.

The Film Will Be Dedicated To Curry And Tony Todd

6

“Stream 2: Sudden Death” will be dedicated to Curry and horror legend Tony Todd, who appeared in the first movie before his death in November 2024. Todd played Locksley, another important figure connected to the livestreamed killing operation.

Leavy said the dedication will honor both men, their friendship with the filmmakers, and the faith they placed in the independent horror franchise. “Dedicating ‘Stream 2’ to them is our way of honoring their memory, their friendship, their belief in us, and the lasting legacy they leave behind,” he explained.

The sequel will now preserve the final performances of two actors who left enormous marks on the horror genre. Todd became synonymous with the “Candyman” franchise, while Curry terrified a generation as Pennywise in the 1990 television adaptation of Stephen King’s “It.”

Tim Curry Died At His Los Angeles-Area Home

6

Curry died late Tuesday night at his Los Angeles-area residence following years of serious health issues. Police reportedly responded to his home at approximately 11:23 p.m. after the Los Angeles Fire Department had been called because of a medical emergency.

The actor was pronounced dead at the scene, and authorities said no foul play was suspected. A specific cause of death was not immediately disclosed.

Tim Curry spent the final 14 years of his life navigating the lasting effects of a devastating stroke that left him unable to walk and temporarily took away his ability to speak. The “Rocky Horror Picture Show” star suffered the medical emergency in July 2012, but initially had no idea anything was wrong. He later revealed that two blood clots were discovered in his brain, leading doctors to perform emergency surgery.

Curry survived, underwent extensive rehabilitation, and continued working from his wheelchair until shortly before his death at age 80. Although the stroke defined many of his later health struggles, no official cause of death has been announced, and there is no confirmation that it directly caused his death.

5

Curry was receiving a massage on July 13, 2012, when his massage therapist became concerned about his condition. The actor did not believe he needed medical attention because he was not experiencing pain or any symptoms he immediately recognized as signs of a stroke. “I felt fine,” Curry recalled during a 2025 interview with “CBS News Sunday Morning,” revealing, “I had no symptoms that I was aware of. I wasn’t in pain.”

His massage therapist trusted his instincts and called for an ambulance despite Curry’s objections. The actor later credited that decision with potentially saving his life. By the time he arrived at the hospital, doctors had determined that he had suffered a serious stroke.

The diagnosis carried an especially personal significance for the actor. Curry’s father had suffered a stroke when Curry was a child and later died from pneumonia. Curry said thinking about what happened to his father left him frightened as doctors prepared to treat him.

Doctors Discovered Two Blood Clots

5

Curry underwent emergency brain surgery after doctors discovered two blood clots. In his 2025 memoir, “Vagabond,” the actor described receiving a craniectomy, a procedure in which surgeons temporarily remove part of the skull to access the brain and relieve potentially dangerous pressure.

Curry recalled the procedure in characteristically blunt terms, writing that his skull had been “smashed in” during the effort to save his life. When he emerged from the hospital, Curry was required to wear a protective helmet because part of his skull had not yet been replaced. He later admitted that the helmet was not his “best look,” using humor to describe an experience that had nearly killed him.

The emergency procedure removed the blood clots, but the stroke had already caused permanent neurological damage.

The Stroke Left Tim Curry Partially Paralyzed

5

Curry was left with paralysis on the left side of his body. The stroke affected his face, arm, and leg, permanently limiting his mobility. He became dependent on a wheelchair and was ultimately told that he would not walk again. His short-term memory was also affected.

For an actor whose career depended heavily on physical expression, stage movement, and his famously distinctive delivery, the changes were profound. Curry had built his reputation by commanding every scene, whether strutting across a stage as Dr. Frank-N-Furter, racing through an elaborate explanation in “Clue,” or terrifying viewers as Pennywise. After the stroke, simply communicating became one of his most immediate challenges.

Tim Curry Had To Learn How To Speak Again

5

Curry spent time in the hospital before beginning a lengthy rehabilitation process. He underwent physical therapy to adjust to his limited mobility and speech therapy to recover a skill that had been central to his life and work. “I had to learn how to speak again,” Curry revealed. “That was very weird. I hated not being able to speak.”

Although Curry eventually recovered his ability to communicate, his speech and facial movement remained affected. The rehabilitation allowed him to regain enough independence to resume portions of his career, but he never recovered the ability to walk.

In September 2025, more than 13 years after the stroke, Curry candidly told an audience that he still could not walk and referred to his wheelchair as his “silly chair.” He nevertheless continued attending selected events and meeting fans.

Humor Became Essential To His Recovery

5

Curry refused to allow his physical limitations to erase the wit that had helped define his performances. When he made a rare red-carpet appearance in 2015 to receive a lifetime achievement award from the Actors Fund, he described humor as “absolutely vital” to his recovery. “It is just part of my DNA,” he told Los Angeles Magazine.

His refusal to indulge in self-pity also became central to his outlook. During his final major interview, Curry said he did not admire self-pity and questioned why any person should consider themselves important enough to demand it from others.

That attitude did not mean the recovery was easy. Curry acknowledged fear, frustration, and the enormous challenge of losing his mobility and speech. Humor just gave him a way to retain control over how those experiences were discussed.

Silo Season 3 is adapting the second book in Hugh Howey‘s series, Shift, though it is taking more creative liberties than ever. Changes are nothing new for this series, though the show’s interpretation of Rep. Keene (Ashley Zukerman) is considerably different from the book. The latest episode, “Gray Goo,” changed things up even more, and some fans are frustrated to see the story drifting away from the source material. Howey himself hopped into a Facebook fan group to defend Keene’s new arc, simultaneously acknowledging how different it is. With two more episodes to go in this season and another season on the way, it’s too soon to draw any major conclusions just yet. However, right now it looks like this version of Keene is better suited for the TV show than an exact copy of the book character would have been.

Howey’s novel introduces us to Rep. Donald Keene, though the show changed his first name to Daniel to avoid any comparisons to real-life political figures. In Season 3, we’ve seen Daniel slowly uncover the secretive project to build the silos that will eventually become doomsday shelters for Juliette Nichols (Rebecca Ferguson) and everyone else we know in the series. At the end of Episode 8, Daniel actually rejects an offer to join the project, which is not how it played out in the book. There, Donald was pretty quick to sign on — even if he didn’t fully understand what he was in for. Having Daniel refuse this call reframes the rest of the story in some ways, but it’s ultimately good for his arc and for the overarching mystery of the series as well.

‘Silo’ Makes Daniel More Likable Than Donald

Image via Apple TV

Responding to fans online this week, Howey wrote: “It’s an improvement over the books. We didn’t want Daniel to be a WILLING contributor to a large part of the project. You’ll start to see why in the next two episodes. It’s critical to his arc.” Howey’s commentary actually highlights some nuance in this change — while Daniel didn’t refuse to work on the Silo project in the books, he had even less of an idea of what he was getting into. The show has simply streamlined his story so that information can be revealed to him and the audience at a smoother pace.

In Shift, Donald Keene is a freshman Congressman who already knows Senator Thurman (Laura Innes) as an old family friend. Since they both represent the people of Georgia, Donald is happy to work with Thurman in any way — both as part of his responsibilities and to raise his political notoriety. Thurman introduces him to this construction project under false pretenses. Thurman claims it is an underground storage facility for nuclear waste, with just one silo-style shelter on campus to house the staff in case of an emergency.

Donald does find it odd when Thurman asks him to design the shelter himself, but he has a background in architecture and he dreads saying no to the senior legislator. Throughout the book, Donald does wish he could abandon the project as it causes him stress and strains his relationships, but he persists for the sake of his career. He does not learn what he was actually designing until a nuclear attack drives him inside. Even then, he doesn’t learn the truth about the nanoweapon swarms until later.

It’s easier and more natural for the show’s version of Daniel to refuse Thurman since he has no personal history with her. In fact, the show hasn’t changed Daniel’s characterization so much as the circumstances under which he learns about the silo project. Since he knows about the nanoweapons and other conspiratorial aspects of this plot from the start, he has a chance to come off as more heroic and noble by refusing this offer. It gives Daniel time to believe he has agency before the full scope of the coercion at play is revealed.

Thurman’s Plot is Even More Horrifying on TV

Image via Apple TV

If Apple TV‘s version of this plot makes Keene more likable, it makes Thurman even more villainous. As mentioned above, these changes make a lot of sense for the pacing of a TV show — they help draw out the suspense and tension and make it harder for viewers to guess where the story is headed. This is likely a good call, though we’ll see if the show can stick the landing for Season 3 in a couple of weeks. As it is, Keene’s storyline has been more exciting at the cost of his overall screen time compared to the books.

It makes sense that fans feel like the TV show is letting Keene off the hook in a way. Rather than reckoning with the consequences of his own actions, he will now have the comfort of knowing he refused to join the project when given the chance. However, in either case the whole plot came down to unbelievable manipulation by Thurman. In the end, giving Daniel the heroic moment that Donald never got will look like a small trade for the much-needed injection of Hollywood pacing in this story. It doesn’t hurt that the masterminds of this plot will look all the worse in the process.

So far, showrunner Graham Yost and the rest of the cast and crew have given us no reason to doubt they can pull all these strands together and bring this story to a satisfying close. Until then, fans can read ahead in Howey’s Silo trilogy, available now in print, digital, and audiobook formats. Silo Season 3 has two more episodes to go, airing on Fridays on Apple TV. Season 4 has been greenlit and is slated for release next year.

Harry Jowsey’s wife, Amber Mozo, is speaking her truth after viewers learned during the Let’s Marry Harry reunion that the couple’s relationship is over .

“I was very loyal, very honest, very patient,” Amber, 31, exclusively tells Us. “Getting back on that stage and seeing him and looking him in the eye, I really said the things I wanted to say for the last time.”

Amber says she was “hurt by the betrayal,” but she didn’t really take it personally.

“I think a dismissive avoidant will take the route of saying there’s a miscommunication. It’s avoiding responsibility, and at the end of the day, you could have had the conversation with me,” she explains to Us. “I hate to say it, but he makes up things that will make him avoid responsibility.”

You can call Harry Jowsey many things: Reality star. Model. Influencer. Serial dater. Even “lovable idiot,” which is how he described himself in a recent sit-down with Us in L.A. Just don’t call him a f***boy. “It couldn’t be more inaccurate,” says the handsome 29-year-old, who became a fixture on the reality TV dating show […]

According to Harry, 29, he ended things with his wife while he was in Australia. From Amber’s perspective, he was trying to find a home for the two of them to share during that same time period.

“We picked out a house together,” she claims. “Say what you want on whatever platform you want, but I have text messages [from] us. This was the plan.”

After dating 20 women on the Netflix series Let’s Marry Harry, the Too Hot to Handle alum had to pick between two girls during the August 12 finale. Harry faced a tough decision between Amber and Las Vegas cocktail waitress Dannelle Davidson.

While Harry ultimately chose Amber and had a televised wedding, the honeymoon phase didn’t last long.

“It felt like I was a show pony wife. It didn’t feel sincere,” Amber claims. “The cameras were gone, and that was really hard to deal with silently. That was my frustration at the reunion. I feel really betrayed by him. He was talking to me the whole time he was with Dannelle. I was betrayed by both of them. You’re gonna make me find that out on a Snapchat three days before the reunion, and he posted it saying, ‘Plot twist.’ You’re not really a quality human. I’m sorry, you’re not.”

Amber said she felt a connection to Harry when he claimed to be done with reality shows after his latest Netflix series. The pair also connected over grief after losing close family members.

Ultimately, Amber is not impressed with the man she faced at the reunion.

“His responses to me were so shallow,” she tells Us. “I think he’s just someone I can’t work with. If things fall on deaf ears, it’s not my place. And I mean, as horrible as it is to tell everyone you’re married a month later, I’m not going to stand [for] something toxic. I’m not that type of girl. He picked me for a reason. I stand 10 toes for myself, and I don’t play about love, and I don’t play about grief. So for him to quite literally ghost me, not tell me about Dannelle, not speak out to me until the show came out — I’ve never experienced this type of human being.”

Us has reached out to Harry’s rep for comment.

Harry previously slammed rumors that his wedding and marriage were fake. The Perfect Match alum, however, did confirm that he and Amber signed paperwork — but the paperwork was never legally filed.

“Obviously, because it’s a TV show, [producers] said, ‘We can’t submit this until after the reunion,’ because basically, if they submitted it on that day, all the money, all the time, everything like that, everything they invested in the show would have been for nothing because it would have been ruined, and you guys wouldn’t watch the show,” he said in an Instagram video shared August 16, referencing the filing being public and, therefore, available for anyone to spoil the end of the series.

When later asked about the reunion taping, Harry said he wasn’t worried about anything the ladies could say about their experience with the show.

“Whatever they want to say or whatever they feel called to say, I would love for them to just do it,” he shared on the August 19 episode of Alex Cooper’s “Call Her Daddy” podcast. “Like, let’s put it all on the table. That’s fine. … I just would want that everyone gets what they need out of it and that we’re all good and we can move on.”

Gigi Hadid is reflecting on her romantic relationship with actor-director Bradley Cooper. 

During a recent interview, the fashion icon discussed how their bond differs from her past experiences, emphasizing the emotional safety and mutual respect they share.

The pair, who have been romantically linked since 2023, have largely kept their romance away from the public in a special way.

Hadid spoke candidly about her partnership with 51-year-old Cooper for the cover story of Vogue France.

During the discussion, Hadid noted that open dialogue forms the core of their connection. This also highlighted a distinct shift from her previous romantic experiences.

“What’s beautiful about my current relationship, and so different from what I’ve experienced before, is the ability to be deeply honest. To say what we think, when we think it,” she said.

Besides open communication, the model also credited their shared dynamic with helping maintain personal equilibrium despite the demands of high-profile entertainment careers.

“We don’t necessarily understand all the challenges of each other’s jobs, but the important thing is to have someone who supports you – and helps you stay grounded,” she further revealed.

Hadid also emphasized that sustaining such an open relationship isn’t always easy. However, she believes that while it’s not easy, it’s not altogether impossible. 

Gigi Hadid & Her Partner Recently Sparked Wedding Rumors

Weeks before Hadid’s comments about her relationship with Cooper, the couple ignited widespread public curiosity after being photographed together in France wearing matching gold bands.

According to The Blast, pictures showed the couple walking hand-in-hand while dressed in workout attire, with both stars wearing simple gold jewelry.

Later that day, they were also photographed again in different outfits while continuing to wear the rings. 

While fans celebrated the potential marriage update, observers noted that neither party has publicly confirmed a change in their relationship status. Commentators pointed out that matching bands often serve as symbols of commitment rather than evidence of a secret ceremony.

The Couple Is Reportedly Not Considering A Traditional Marriage

While public curiosity remains high regarding their long-term plans, sources clarify that Hadid and Cooper are prioritizing their internal bond over traditional milestones.

Insiders close to the couple confirm that Hadid and Cooper have no immediate plans to walk down the aisle. 

According to The Blast, a source revealed that the jewelry pieces are actually commitment rings that the pair have worn privately for months, rather than formal wedding bands. 

“Neither of them wants to get married or have a traditional wedding, but they are very serious and committed to one another,” the source stated. 

The informant emphasized that their connection is thriving as they balance high-profile entertainment careers with single parenthood, noting that “their lives are fully integrated at this point.”

Further adding to the marriage chatter surrounding her relationship, Hadid demonstrated her close dynamic with Cooper’s inner circle during a family outing in France.

The Blast reported that the model was seen spending quality time in Paris with Cooper’s mother, Gloria Campano, and his daughter, Lea De Seine, as they enjoyed a casual afternoon stroll.

The public bonding moment coincided with Cooper’s presence in the French capital to film his “Ocean’s Eleven” prequel. However, reports suggested that the couple may have privately exchanged vows prior to their European trip.

According to a source, a private dinner held in New York before their departure further sparked widespread wedding speculation among friends.

Gigi Hadid Pushed Back On Claims Of A Connection To The Disgraced Epstein

While building her life with Cooper, Hadid has also had to navigate public scrutiny regarding unverified online allegations. She publicly pushed back after her name surfaced in court documents tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. 

According to The Blast, the supermodel directly addressed the controversy after a 2015 email exchange was released. She referred to the exchange as “disturbing,” insisting that she has no connection to him.

Addressing a social media user directly, Hadid revealed that discovering her name in the files left her deeply uncomfortable.

“Made me sick to my stomach. Horrible to read someone you’ve never met speak about you that way, especially in this context,” she said. 

Hadid then firmly reiterated her innocence, noting that she began modeling through standard agency channels and has built her career entirely through hard work.

Tim Curry’s death at age 80 has renewed attention on the performance that made him a cultural icon, even though the movie was initially considered such a failure that he feared it could end his film career. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” struggled to attract audiences when it arrived in theaters in 1975. Plans for a major New York opening were canceled, and the movie was pulled from most of its initial markets. However, one unconventional decision gave the film another chance.

Before it became a movie, “Rocky Horror” was a stage production written by Richard O’Brien. “The Rocky Horror Show” premiered at London’s Royal Court Theatre in 1973 and mixed original rock music with affectionate parodies of old science-fiction and horror movies. Curry originated the role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter, the flamboyant scientist whose castle becomes an unexpected destination for newly engaged couple Brad and Janet.

The production grew from a small experimental show into a major London success. Its popularity convinced producer Lou Adler and 20th Century Fox that the material could work as a film. Curry and several members of the stage cast returned for the adaptation, while Barry Bostwick and Susan Sarandon were cast as Brad and Janet. The movie was filmed in England beginning in October 1974, with the production using Oakley Court, a Victorian mansion previously connected to several Hammer horror films.

Despite the stage show’s success, signs of trouble emerged before the movie reached American theaters. A Broadway production opened in March 1975 but closed after only 45 performances.

The Movie Failed To Find An Audience

6

“The Rocky Horror Picture Show” opened in the United States on September 26, 1975. The movie performed well at the UA Westwood theater in Los Angeles, where some customers repeatedly returned. That enthusiasm did not translate to the seven other cities included in its initial release.

According to the American Film Institute, the film bombed outside Los Angeles, prompting Fox to withdraw it from theaters. The studio also canceled a planned New York opening scheduled for Halloween night.

An attempt to pair the movie with Brian De Palma’s “Phantom of the Paradise” for college audiences reportedly failed to generate meaningful interest. Curry was devastated by the response. “It died a death. It was a failure. And I was crushed,” he admitted during a 2025 interview.

The actor worried that having his first major movie rejected could bring his screen career to an abrupt end. “I thought that it might well be the end of my movie career,” he said. “But I was tougher than that.”

Midnight Screenings Gave The Film Another Chance

6

The movie’s unusual recovery began after Fox executives noticed that the small group of people who loved it kept returning. Rather than continuing to market “Rocky Horror” as a conventional musical, the studio tested it in a time slot already associated with strange, provocative, and experimental films.

On April 1, 1976, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” began playing at midnight at the Waverly Theater in New York City’s Greenwich Village. The setting proved crucial. Instead of competing for mainstream moviegoers, “Rocky Horror” reached night owls, artists, queer viewers, students, and others drawn to entertainment that existed outside conventional boundaries. The same people began returning week after week. They learned every line, recognized one another, and gradually changed the screening from a movie into a communal performance.

By the end of the decade, Fox reportedly had hundreds of prints circulating for midnight shows across the country.

Fans Began Talking Back To The Screen

6

Audience participation was not created by the filmmakers or planned by the studio. It developed organically among regular attendees at the Waverly. Fans began shouting responses to characters, adding jokes between lines of dialogue, and insulting Brad and Janet as their night at Frank-N-Furter’s castle became increasingly chaotic.

The spontaneous remarks evolved into established callbacks that audiences repeated together. A 1976 Halloween event encouraged fans to attend dressed as the characters. Costumes soon became a regular part of the experience, giving moviegoers permission to recreate Curry’s corsets, makeup, and dramatic entrance for themselves.

The participation eventually moved in front of the screen. Groups known as shadow casts began performing the entire film while it played behind them, matching the characters’ movements and lip-syncing the dialogue and songs. Each local cast could bring its own jokes and traditions while following a loose set of rituals shared by “Rocky Horror” audiences around the world.

Props Became Part Of The Tradition

6

The experience grew even more elaborate when fans began bringing props tied to specific moments in the movie. Audience members threw rice during the wedding scene and held newspapers over their heads when Brad and Janet became trapped in the rain. Water pistols recreated the on-screen storm, while toast was tossed after Frank-N-Furter proposed a toast at dinner. Playing cards appeared during “I’m Going Home,” and toilet paper was thrown when Brad shouted, “Great Scott!”

Many theaters eventually restricted certain props because of safety concerns and the enormous cleanup required. However, the rituals became inseparable from the film’s reputation. Watching “Rocky Horror” at home could provide the story and songs, but attending a midnight screening offered an unpredictable performance created jointly by the movie, shadow cast, and audience.

‘Rocky Horror’ Became A Place For Outsiders

6

The film’s longevity cannot be explained by props and callbacks alone. Frank-N-Furter’s confidence, sexuality, and rejection of conventional gender expectations made the character liberating for viewers who rarely saw themselves represented onscreen.

“Rocky Horror” screenings became spaces where people could dress differently, experiment with identity, and find others who understood what it felt like to exist outside the mainstream. The AFI described the screenings as safe spaces for outsiders, particularly members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Curry came to recognize what his performance had given viewers. “I gave them permission to be who they discovered they wanted to be,” he told the Los Angeles Times. “I’m proud of that.”

There’s an undeniable truth in Hollywood: Success breeds emulation. Innovative TV shows and movies that find an audience only stay that way for so long before the wannabes start coming in droves. Some find success, like Seinfeld-inspired shows Curb Your Enthusiasm and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, while others fail spectacularly, like Friends wannabe Coupling from 2003. Then there’s Cheers, the iconic sitcom that debuted in 1982. Despite its immense popularity, no one has come close to even trying to copy the series since the bar closed down on May 20, 1993, after a stellar 11-season run. Even spin-off Frasier knew well enough that it couldn’t just have Frasier (Kelsey Grammer) show up at a Seattle bar on a weekly basis. Really, the only series that can live up to the iconic Cheers is Cheers itself, and now, 44 years later, a revival of the iconic sitcom could prove it.

Cheers famously came close to being cancelled after its first season, ranking achingly close to dead last in the ratings. It avoided cancellation because, as Cheers writer Ken Levine opined, “They had nothing better to replace it with” (not entirely accurate: Cheers had then-president of the NBC entertainment division Brandon Tartikoff‘s full support as well). But what makes Cheers such an iconic series are the very things that almost got it cancelled in the first place.

Viewers weren’t used to comedies that relied on smart, clever dialogue. In fact, that same year, Police Squad! was cancelled after only six episodes aired because ABC network executive Anthony Thomopoulos claimed that the audience had to “pay too much attention” to understand the jokes, which TV Guide assessed as the “most stupid reason a network ever gave for ending a series.” In other words, viewers were fed sitcoms laden with pratfalls and fast-paced jokes because they weren’t “smart enough” to understand anything else. The single-location setup, too, was unfamiliar, as were the dynamics being set up between the characters.

But it didn’t take long before Cheers started to catch on with viewers, and in doing so, provided a master class in what makes a sitcom work. The single-setting allowed for familiarity, truly a place “where everybody knows your name,” unlike other series where the audience has to consistently reconcile the characters in different environments. The pacing meant waiting for the punchline, and the writing made that wait worthwhile. The dynamic between Ted Danson‘s Sam and Shelley Long‘s Diane was more than simply a “will they/won’t they,” but rooted in a legendary, and just as unconventional, real-life relationship.

A ‘Cheers’ Revival Has to Make This Element Work

But the strongest asset that made Cheers the go-to series of its era was its ensemble cast. There was literally someone on the series that was relatable to those watching, whether it was the sophisticated air of Frasier Crane, the know-it-all mail carrier Cliff Clavin (John Ratzenberger), the deeply cynical, prickly Carla (Rhea Perlman), or Norm (George Wendt), the bar mainstay and lovable everyman. The dynamics between them were just as important to the success of the show as the key relationship between Sam and Diane. And when characters left the series, they weren’t simply replaced with similar characters, but characters who mixed up the dynamics: the naive, sweet Coach (Nicholas Colasanto), who mentored Sam, was replaced by Woody (Woody Harrelson), a younger, more energetic (but equally naive) bartender that prompted Sam to become the mentor; while Kirstie Alley‘s Rebecca changed the dynamic Sam had with Diane, a friendship as opposed to a romance.

That intricate, balanced web of personalities and relationships doesn’t come easy, a lesson Coupling learned by assuming any collection of 20 to 30-year-olds could have the same chemistry as Friends. For any revival of Cheers to have success, finding that balance is its first priority. Furthermore, you can’t just find a “new Norm” and a “new Cliff.” That balance has to come with a new set of characters, each with their own foibles that aren’t limited to what came before. While it may not come easily, it can be done. Frasier is a perfect example, creating new dynamics with new characters without resorting to recreating characters from the original series. And Frasier itself only succeeded because those new characters came equipped with excellent writing that fleshed them out completely.

The question is this: why bother, and why now? Because in today’s chaotic world, people crave familiarity and a place they belong, perhaps more than ever before. A new series that’s like Cheers won’t work, or else it would have by now. A full reboot takes away that familiarity that was so critical to Cheers‘ success, like a childhood home being taken over by people you don’t know. A revival, on the other hand, implies a connection to the original series: not bound to it, but something that honors it. It could be that Sam has a son or daughter who has taken over the bar, or, if Danson’s up for it, Sam himself is still behind the counter, tending to a new group of relatable barflies who have found a place where everybody knows their names, too.

For many of today’s Fleetwood Mac fans, it is difficult to imagine the band without the iconic Buckingham-Nicks duo. However, the London-based band existed (and thrived) for many years before the Americans joined their ranks. They began as a British blues band (a far cry from their folksy pop/rock sound in the late ‘70s) composed of five English musicians: Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Danny Kirwan, Peter Green, and Jeremy Spencer. By the early ‘70s, three of the five original members had left the band.

The musicians left the band in quick succession, each fighting their own demons – all of which, however, stemmed from the same root cause: the crushing weight of fame and success. Had the original members remained, Fleetwood Mac may never have become the international smash hit we know and love today. This is in no way a slight towards any of the talented founding members – they were a very successful band in their early years. But would the group have become one of the most famous bands of all time without Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham? We can never be sure, of course, but it seems highly unlikely.

The Original Band Members Drop Like Flies

Balancing a career as a successful musician with a healthy lifestyle is notoriously difficult – it is no secret that the relentless strain of the industry has caused countless rock stars to fall asunder. The pressure of fame had a deep effect on the original members of Fleetwood Mac, leading to Green and Spencer’s decisions to leave the band and fueling the increasingly erratic, alcohol-fueled behavior that led to Kirwan getting the boot. While all three left under similar circumstances, one band member’s story stands out: Jeremy Spencer ditched the band on a whim while going out to grab something to read – but, oddly enough, he never did make it to the bookshop. In lieu of buying a magazine, Spencer joined a cult. He would never again return to Fleetwood Mac.

Peter Green, founder and guitarist of Fleetwood Mac, was the first to leave the band. He bailed in 1970 after a long and worsening struggle with mental health, exacerbated by frequent acid trips. One final LSD trip at a commune outside of Munich was the straw that broke the camel’s back. While he would later return to the band temporarily, this unfortunate trip marked the end of his initial tenure. He was disillusioned with fame and fortune, and even went so far as to give away the money he had made as a part of Fleetwood Mac.

Jeremy Spencer, guitarist and pianist, was the second musician to leave Fleetwood Mac. The feeling of discontent in the band was seemingly contagious, as he absconded shortly after Green. Spencer had become restless long before his departure from the band in 1971. About a year before he left the band for good, Spencer released a strange self-titled album, completely unrelated to the band of which he was still a part. Clearly, his mind was in other places. He was thinking beyond Fleetwood Mac. Spencer was ready to make a change, even if he didn’t quite know what it would look like.

The Disappearance of Jeremy Spencer

Fleetwood Mac was on a US tour in 1971 after the release of their fourth studio LP, Kiln House, in September of the previous year. It was February and the band was in LA, set to play at Whiskey a Go Go, a popular (and now historically significant) nightclub on the Sunset Strip. It was supposed to be a big stop on their tour, an important performance for the future of the band. However, they were forced to cancel their show when Jeremy Spencer abruptly disappeared.

Spencer left the Hawaiian Hotel, where the band was staying during their stint in LA, and told the other members that he was heading out to grab a book (or a magazine – the specifics vary from source to source.) Whether this was his true intention was never made clear. One thing we know for sure: he never ended up buying that book.

At some point during his walk down Hollywood Boulevard, he was approached by a street preacher who told him of a nearby mission operated by a notorious Christian sect. The sect (which, in reality, was a full-blown cult – completely unaffiliated with the church) was called Children of God. Spencer, in the midst of adjusting to the band’s newfound status, was drawn to the group and never made it to the iconic LA venue for the gig.

When the other members of Fleetwood Mac realized he was missing, they leaped into action. They combed the streets, searching for any trace of Spencer or a hint as to where he may have gone. They were worried something bad had happened to him – was he kidnapped? Murdered? Had some sort of accident occurred? It would be days before they got their answer.

Never Going Back Again

Five days after his disappearance, the band finally located Spencer at the Children of God mission. By the time they got to him, he had already shaved his head and changed his name to Jonathan. It was soon apparent that he had no intention of returning to Fleetwood Mac, and the band had no choice but to leave him in the hands of the Children of God.

The Children of God cult changed its name multiple times throughout the years, adopting inviting monikers such as Teens for Christ and The Family International. The group has been accused of abuse of children and women on multiple occasions. They have been investigated by governmental agencies across multiple countries for psychological and physical endangerment of their members. The California-based cult included some of Hollywood’s elite, including Joaquin and River Phoenix, who were born within its confines and later disentangled themselves from the organization. By the late ‘70s, the cult expanded, adding over a hundred locations worldwide.

If Spencer had never joined this cult (and if Green and Kirwan hadn’t left the band) there would have been no room for the next class of Fleetwood Mac. Most likely, they would not have needed Stevie Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, or maybe even Christine McVie to step in. Rumours would have never been made, and it would have never sold over twenty million copies, becoming the 11th most purchased album in US history. Perhaps the Children of God recruiting Jeremy Spencer (who is still affiliated with the cult to this day) was the only good thing they ever did.
