Kelly Osbourne’s Sister Feud Reaches Point Of No Return
Family tensions within the Osbourne clan are once again in the spotlight after Kelly Osbourne made it clear that reconciliation with her older sister, Aimee, is not on the horizon.
While the famous family built a cultural phenomenon through reality television, Aimee famously chose a different path.
Now, years after keeping her distance from the spotlight that launched her siblings to fame, the sisters’ fractured relationship appears deeper than ever, with Kelly revealing why she has permanently stepped away.
For years, questions have lingered about the relationship between the Osbourne siblings, particularly because Aimee chose a dramatically different path from the rest of her famous family.
Now, Kelly Osbourne has delivered perhaps her clearest assessment yet of where things stand.
On Paul C. Brunson’s “We Need To Talk” podcast, the singer was asked whether she believed there was still a chance of repairing her relationship with her older sister.
Her answer was immediate. “No,” Kelly responded. When Brunson pressed further, the television personality elaborated on why she believed the divide had become impossible to bridge.
“No… I respect her, I accept her, but we’re different, and that’s okay…” she said.
Kelly Felt Aimee Wanted Nothing To Do With The Family Spotlight
During the chat, Kelly Osbourne also suggested the problem went beyond simply having different personalities or lifestyles.
According to her, the relationship became emotionally draining because Aimee never made her feel accepted.
“If you’re not going to accept me for who I am, and constantly be trying to change me and say horrible things about me, and truly seem to thrive when I’m not doing well, I don’t want you in my life,” she explained.
Long before reality television transformed the Osbournes into household names, Aimee had already decided she wanted no part of it.
While Sharon, Ozzy, Kelly, and Jack opened their doors to MTV cameras, Aimee famously stepped away, choosing privacy over participation.
That decision has long fueled speculation about whether she simply disliked reality television or whether she was distancing herself from the family itself.
Kelly has previously admitted she often felt as though Aimee was embarrassed by the family and their public image. The choice not to appear on “The Osbournes” became one of the defining differences between the sisters, with Aimee pursuing a much more private life while her younger siblings became reality TV stars.
Kelly Osbourne’s Brother Jack Also Admitted The Family Rift Runs Deep
Kelly is not the only Osbourne sibling to acknowledge the distance. Before Ozzy Osbourne’s death, Jack Osbourne spoke candidly about his relationship with Aimee during an appearance on the “Disrespectfully” podcast, making it clear the estrangement extended beyond Kelly.
“I’ve never had the conversation with her, we’re not close at all,” Jack admitted, adding, “We don’t have a great relationship, she’ll be the first to tell you that, so it’s no secret.”
He also reflected on why Aimee chose not to participate in “The Osbournes,” explaining that she had very different ambitions at the time.
“Back then she really wanted to be a musician and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody…” he said.
According to Jack, Aimee viewed reality television as incompatible with that image. He continued, “She was like, ‘I’m not going to be seen riding coat-tails,’ kind of thing, that’s how she perceived it.”
Jack believed that once the series became a massive hit, Aimee felt trapped by her earlier decision. According to him, she ultimately “dug her heels in and wanted to be relatively private and obscure.”

Aimee Once Explained Why She Rejected Family Fame
The tension between Kelly Osborne and Aimee has often been discussed through the lens of their estrangement, but Aimee’s own explanation for stepping away from the family’s reality TV empire provided important context for how differently the sisters viewed fame from the beginning.
In a 2020 interview on New York’s Q1043 radio program, Aimee revealed that she never felt comfortable with the idea of growing up on television. Rather than seeing the MTV series as an opportunity, she viewed it as something that could fundamentally alter her sense of self.
Aimee made it clear that she left not because she didn’t love her family, but because she feared reality television would define her before she had a chance to define herself.
“For me, I had grown up around having a pretty well-known dad anyway, and I always really valued my privacy within that family,” she said.
Aimee added, “And for me personally, and for who I am, you know, as far as morally and also just to give myself a chance to actually develop into a human being as opposed to just being remembered for being a teenager, it didn’t really line up with what I saw my future as.”
Kelly Osbourne’s Family Reunited For Ozzy’s Farewell Despite Longstanding Tensions
One of the most striking moments in the Osbourne family’s history came when Aimee and her family temporarily set aside their differences after Ozzy’s death.
On July 30, 2025, Ozzy’s funeral procession moved through Birmingham, England, drawing thousands of grieving fans to the city streets. Kelly, Sharon, Jack, Aimee, and Ozzy’s son Louis all gathered to honor the Black Sabbath legend.
For many observers, Aimee’s appearance was noteworthy in itself. Dressed in a black veil, beret, and black suit, she appeared visibly emotional as the family stopped at the Black Sabbath Bridge to view tributes left by fans.
Kelly, meanwhile, paid tribute to her father with blue-tinted glasses reminiscent of Ozzy’s signature look.
The images quickly circulated across entertainment outlets because they presented a rare sight: the entire immediate Osbourne family united in public.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives could be down two more stars.
Layla Taylor and Mayci Neeley both hinted that their futures on the show are up in the air after costar Mikayla Matthews announced her exit on Monday, September 14.
Layla, Mayci, Taylor Frankie Paul, Jessi Draper and Miranda McWhorter are currently filming season six of the hit Hulu reality show. (Whitney Leavitt left Mormon Wives after season 5.)
In a TikTok comment responding to a fan who asked if she was “staying on the show,” Mayci, 31, wrote, “I am finishing this current season that we are filming and then not sure for after that.”
Later on Monday, the Baby Mama founder posted a lengthy TikTok video addressing scenes that she filmed for seasons 4 and 5 that were ultimately cut. In the caption, Mayci again hinted that she might follow Mikayla out the door.
“At the end of the day I don’t care about having ‘aura,’ I care about providing for my family and being a good wife/ mother. Period,” she wrote. “Going into SLOMW my intention has never been the fame, it has always been $$$ to provide for my fam and to positively impact people by sharing my story. So I’ll take the cut and stay happy & healed🥰🫶🏼.”
Layla, 25, echoed Mayci in response to a fan who asked her whether she will return during a Q&A session via her Instagram Stories on Monday.
“I just love her so much,” Layla wrote, referring to Mikayla. She added, “It’s such an impossible situation for everyone involved, but I am finishing season 6 and then [to be determined].”
Mikayla, 26, announced on Monday that she will be leaving Mormon Wives, citing concerns about filming with Taylor, whose legal issues involving ex Dakota Mortensen led to season 5 pausing production and her season of The Bachelorette being canceled earlier this year.
“I’ve said from the beginning of this that I’m not comfortable being a part of something that continues to platform behavior I don’t agree especially given my own experience growing up in a home with multiple forms of abuse,” she wrote via Instagram.
Mikayla continued, “There’s no amount of money worth going against my morals or changing the stance I’ve had since I first saw and heard the things that made me feel this strongly. And for me personally, continuing to directly profit from this behavior feels wrong and unethical. It feels like a disservice to the children, everyone’s healing and the millions of people watching.”
“This show has been a huge part of my life and has helped me provide for my family. I’m so grateful for the experience, and will continue sharing my story, my health and advocating for myself and others ❤️ this shouldn’t be ‘relatable’ or entertainment in anyway,” she added. “Supporting an ADULT doesn’t mean constantly making excuses for toxic behavior while giving unconditional sympathy and grace with zero accountability or change. I was in that enabling cycle for years, and I’m not going to be a part of that again!🫶🏼 love you all.”
Trends have dominated movies forever, whether the fad lasts only a couple of years, a couple of decades, or never really goes out of fashion. Genres such as Westerns used to be all the rage, conquering the box office and pumping out mass productions of films. Today, superheroes are the big thing, and while they have always been popular, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has brightened the spotlight with dazzling results.
While the silver screen attracts the most attention from fans, many enjoy indulging in superhero fanfare from the comfort of their own home on television. But sometimes fans need an extra bit of excitement, and that’s precisely what animation offers: a wondrous and creative medium. Animated superhero shows are arguably the most adaptable because of their loose restrictions, allowing creativity to flow, and these ten shows prove to be the best of the best.
10
‘The Powerpuff Girls’ (1998–2005)
With sugar, spice, and everything nice, Craig McCracken created the legendary cartoon The Powerpuff Girls after he submitted his short film to Cartoon Network. The show follows three superpowered kindergartners, Bubbles, Blossom, and Buttercup, and their scientist father and creator. The trio protects their city of Townsville from dastardly villains such as Mojo Jojo, Him, and the Gangreen Gang.
Almost every fan has heard of The Powerpuff Girls, considering it dominated the television screens of every kid in the 1990s and 2000s. While the show looks like it has a target audience, it is a fantastic show for everyone to enjoy, complete with action and comedy. This animated show proves why the cartoon medium is perfect for superheroes, with most fans happy the live-action Powerpuff Girls movie fell through.
9
‘The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes’ (2010–2012)
While most fans might know this iconic group from the many great MCU movies, The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes gives them a different look at the characters they know and love. This cartoon features the original Avengers, including Iron Man, Hulk, Thor, Ant-Man, and the Wasp, with Captain America, Black Panther, Hawkeye, Ms. Marvel, and Vision joining the team later. It follows the team defeating dangerous foes and capturing the 74 escaped convicts, all familiar faces.
While The Avengers offers fans new imaginative stories, Earth’s Mightiest Heroes offers fans a taste of some older stories, a refreshing combination for accurate adaptations. These arcs masterfully utilize each member, not leaving anyone out, with each character getting a proper amount of screen time. With the series getting canceled, it’s unfortunate that fans won’t see more of this phenomenal adaptation.
8
‘Batman Beyond’ (1999–2001)
-1.jpg?q=49&fit=crop&w=500&dpr=2)
Besides Spider-Man, Batman is the character with the most adaptations from film to television, animated included. One such adaptation is Batman Beyond, a creative reimagining of Gotham in a cyberpunk future, set in the DCAU with Kevin Conroy as an aging Batman. After a group of psycho clowns murders his father, Terry McGinnis takes up the mantle of Batman in a new suit, learning what it means to be the titular hero.
Many fans didn’t like the idea of a new Batman in a futuristic Gotham, but after watching a few episodes, they quickly changed their minds. Batman Beyond is a terrific origin show for a new Batman, showcasing that Gotham is still plagued with the same problems, except with the benefit of technology. Its cyberpunk setting and darker themes gave fans a unique and stellar show, with a more relatable character who goes from punk to hero.
7
‘The Spectacular Spider-Man’ (2008–2009)
Like another particular hero who will feature on this list later, Spider-Man is a character who will never go out of fashion and always has at least one TV show or movie every so often. Similar to the other TV adaptations of this character, The Spectacular Spider-Man follows Peter Parker, who must juggle his complicated high school life and his even more complicated crime-fighting life as Spider-Man.
While the show was unfortunately canceled, it only needed two seasons to become the definitive adaptation of the web-slinger. Most members of his iconic rogues’ gallery are present and have satisfying arcs, spotlighting each character while building a connected story. This version of Peter and Spidey is both perfect, from his money problems, girl troubles, and stress of responsibility to wisecracking one-liners, complex story arcs, and complicated emotions. The Spectacular Spider-Man is the best animated Spider-Man, even if some fans prefer Spider-Man: The Animated Series.
6
‘Invincible’ (2021–Present)
With Marvel and DC dominating the superhero genre, it’s nice to see something else flourish; such is the case with popular shows, including The Boys and Invincible. With The Boys dominating live-action superhero content, Invincible proves animation is better than ever with a darker story. The cartoon follows the son of the world’s strongest hero, who is just learning how to use his powers but discovers a haunting truth about his father.
Invincible’s inclusion on this list was a given; in fact, it may surprise fans that the show isn’t higher. But after a polarizing second season, Invincible’s third season needs to prove why it is one of the best superhero TV shows. Regardless, the heavy subject matter and shocking plot created a worldwide phenomenon. Invincible explores the philosophies and minds of the characters while still delivering a dark and action-packed show.
5
‘Young Justice’ (2010–2022)
Not many TV shows have had as complicated a journey as Young Justice, which was cancelled after two seasons, brought back six years later, and is supposedly finished even though Nolan North is optimistic about a fifth season. With the Justice League confined to working around the legal system, a group of their younger counterparts took up the task of going on covert and stealth operations, proving their worth while investigating the mysterious organization known as the Light.
With many animated superhero shows following an episodic structure, Young Justice‘s continuous plot was a breath of fresh air, which allowed for proper character development and better handling of mature themes and messages. The first two seasons are some of the best superhero content any fan can watch. But with a polarizing third season, the fourth steered in the right direction again, creating a family-friendly yet mature superhero show.
4
‘One Punch Man’ (2015–Present)
Just because anime doesn’t have many superhero shows doesn’t mean the ones they have aren’t good. One Punch Man is proof of that, as it follows Saitama, an overpowered hero who is just trying to make a living in the world. Despite demolishing the physical exam, Saitama failed the written portion, leaving him a low-rank hero even though he is the strongest being in the galaxy. Fans witness his comedic and epic exploits as he finishes every fight with one punch.
Like Invincible, One Punch Man’s second season had a severe dip in animation quality. This was a major disappointment to fans, considering how good the first season was, even though the story and action of season two were still good. Despite this, the first season is pure enjoyment, full of hilarious gag comedy and stellar animation with some of the best fights in anime. The fun story and fantastic side cast provide wacky and epic moments, and it is easily the best superhero anime.
3
‘X-Men: The Animated Series’ (1992–1997)
While many fans agree DC is the king of superhero animation, X-Men: The Animated Series is enough for Marvel to be in the conversation. The series follows the iconic group of superheroes fighting for mutant rights and against oppression by the government and evil mutants. With some arcs adapting famous comics and some doing their own thing, X-Men: The Animated Series has the perfect balance for everyone to enjoy.
This impressive show isn’t just a fun action cartoon for kids to enjoy, but it also has important stories and themes mixed in, creating a well-rounded series. Despite a lackluster end to the series, the show still holds up as one of the best superhero TV shows, not just animated ones. It has the definitive depictions of many X-Men members and manages to mostly deliver satisfying arcs and development, making this series a triumph for Marvel and animated shows in general.
2
‘Justice League Unlimited’ (2004–2006)
Taking place immediately after Justice League, which just missed out on this list, Justice League Unlimited includes the main seven but also a plethora of other DC superheroes. The original seven members still get their shine, but this series introduces many fan-favorites and unheard-of heroes as each episode focuses on someone else. Like many other superhero shows, they battle against the evils that present themself.
While the 2-4 episode structure from Justice League is gone, the single-episode format works perfectly for Unlimited. It spotlights various heroes, and every episode of Justice League is a treat. The expanded roster added so much to this show; from fun and enjoyable episodes to heavy thematic stories, this series had it all. With incredible pacing, delightful characters, and complex stories, Justice League Unlimited is a perfect conclusion for the DCAU.
1
‘Batman: The Animated Series’ (1992–1995)
No other animated show would feel right at the top of this list other than Batman: The Animated Series. Following Batman in his prime, the series has the titular character facing off against almost every member of his rogues’ gallery, from Joker to The Terrible Trio. As he spends countless nights keeping Gotham safe, the show has a perfect balance of Batman and Bruce Wayne, delivering complex stories with every episode.
Whether fans include The New Batman Adventures with BTAS or not, it would still be number one on this list. The series is a testament to superhero writing; from the dialogue to the story to the themes and characters, BTAS is a perfectly written television show. Possibly the best part of the show is the Batman villains and their complex stories, with each episode delving into their motives, history, feelings, and trauma. BTAS is the definitive version of Batman and Bruce Wayne, delivering tragic, exciting, and dramatic stories that perfectly handle family-friendly, fun, and profound storytelling.

Meghan Markle shared a sweet birthday tribute to her husband, Prince Harry, as he turns 42.
“He’s simply the best,” Meghan, 45, captioned a montage of family moments featuring Harry and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, posted via Instagram on Tuesday, September 15.
“Happy birthday, my love ❤️,” Meghan continued, sharing the post to the tune of The Hound + The Fox’s acoustic cover of Tina Turner’s hit “Simply the Best.”
Tuesday marks Harry’s first birthday in the U.K. since he, Meghan, Archie, 7, and Lili, 5, moved back to his native country last month after six years away.
On Sunday, September 13, Meghan marked the Sussexes’ return to the U.K. with an Instagram montage featuring moments from their first few weeks back. The video included footage of the family enjoying a boat ride, woodland walks and Lili riding her bike while Archie cheered his sister on. The Duchess of Sussex captioned the image with both the Union Jack flag and a red heart emoji.
The family touched down in the U.K. in late August for an extended stay, with Archie and Lilibet starting at a local school at the beginning of the latest academic year. They will also maintain their home in Montecito, California, and a vacation home in Portugal.
On Monday, September 14, it was reported that Archie and Lili changed schools after just two days due to security concerns.
“The decision for the children to move school was taken following a discussion with the family’s security team about the practicalities of their current arrangements,” a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told Hello! on Monday. “The parents remain extremely grateful to all the teachers and staff for the love, care and effort they have shown their family. This decision should in no way be interpreted as a reflection on the school or the exceptional care the children have received there.”
A royal expert is shedding light on how Prince William and Kate Middleton are likely reacting to the news that their estranged family members Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the U.K. “All I can think of is: here we go again,” Brothers and Wives author Christopher Andersen exclusively tells Us. “For […]
News of the family’s return to the U.K. broke in August, with a source telling Us at the time, “Harry is not as happy in the U.S. as he is in the U.K.”
“They aim to be somewhere outside of London, not in, like, the city proper,” the source said. “They are open to a new chapter.”
“They’ve been spending a lot of time in Portugal this summer,” the source continued. “Harry has friends there, and Meghan has expat friends there. They have a community there.”
Meghan is expected to continue operating her As Ever lifestyle brand from the U.K., while Harry was recently announced for several public engagements supporting his philanthropic efforts, including the WellChild Awards on Monday, September 21.
“Harry still operates as if he were a member of the royal family when he evaluates opportunities,” the source said. “He’s seen royals who have left the royal family, like Sarah Ferguson, whose path he does not want to emulate. He wants to do things that are a right fit for him, but that can be very limiting. And, of course, they need to find ways to make money, so they are eager to find partnerships that are the right fit and fruitful for them.”

Prime Video’s ‘Neagley’ Is a ‘Reacher’-Lite Spin-Off That’s Officially Worth Your Time
Reacher is one of Prime Video’s best and most popular shows, currently wrapping up its brutal fourth season and already confirmed to return for a fifth. The flagship series reintroduced audiences to Jack Reacher, played by Alan Ritchson, a self-described nomad who wanders around the U.S. solving crimes and collecting allies. One of Reacher’s few close friends is Frances Neagley (Maria Sten), a corporate security professional and PI who became an instant breakout character, stealing every scene she was in, and it didn’t take long for Prime Video to give her a show of her own.
Spin-offs are tough to crack. They need to walk a fine line between feeling like they belong in the same continuity as their predecessor and carving out a unique identity. The best — Better Call Saul, Maude, Frasier — make it look easy, but it’s actually damn hard. Neagley isn’t a carbon copy of Reacher, but it also doesn’t do nearly enough to distinguish itself from its parent series. Whether that’s a strength or a weakness depends on the viewer, but Neagley successfully delivers a compelling, intimate mystery that will satisfy those who are already Reacher-pilled.
What Is ‘Neagley’ About?
As its title suggests, Neagley centers on Frances Neagley (Sten), back in her hometown of Chicago and working as a private investigator. Solitary, independent, and damn good at her job, Neagley is also living with haphephobia, an intense aversion to physical touch that limits the relationships she can maintain. When her childhood friend, Tommy Crane (Jhaleil Swaby), dies by apparent suicide, Neagley discovers a connection to a mysterious farm named Echo Canyon that recruits people seeking a fresh start to overcome trauma. Suspecting foul play in Tommy’s death, Neagley joins forces with Detective Hudson Riley (Greyston Holt) to look into Echo Canyon, which is led by the disturbing Lawrence Cole (Damon Herriman).
Neagley‘s cast also includes Adeline Rudolph as Renee Birdwhistle, an assistant working at Neagley’s PI firm who becomes a close ally; Jasper Jones as Keno, a young homeless man whose savvy instincts aid the investigation; and Matthew Del Negro as Pierce Woodrow, the CEO of a pharmaceutical company developing a revolutionary drug. Also, as has already been confirmed, Alan Ritchson reprises his role as Reacher, so you can expect to see him pop in. Neagley hails from Reacher creator Nick Santora and Emmy-winning TV veteran Nicholas Wootton. Unlike Reacher, the protagonist of numerous books by author Lee Child, Neagley has no novel of her own (yet), meaning Season 1 is a completely original story.
‘Reacher’s Spin-Off ‘Neagley’ Benefits From Likable Characters
Like its parent series, Neagley gets a lot of mileage from a strong ensemble that does great work with thinly drawn characters, of which the show’s lead herself is by far the most compelling. Sten is very comfortable in the role, and she makes the most of the chance to explore the character’s haphephobia and its root. Her chemistry with everyone is on point, and the subtle, slow-building dynamic she has with Holt’s Hudson is particularly enjoyable. Her few scenes with Reacher are also very sweet, though don’t expect to see Ritchson a lot this season. He is effectively used, but this show is a proper showcase for Neagley and doesn’t feel the need to rely on Reacher too much.
Holt does a fine job with a very one-note character. Riley is a good cop: by the book, committed, and desperate to break ties with his criminal family by scoring a big win for the department. There’s nothing particularly impressive about him, but he is a solid ally for Neagley, and their emotional bond builds effectively throughout the season. Rudolph and Jones are good supporting players who actually contribute meaningfully to the investigation. Neagley builds a strong team for herself, and she’s also a capable leader, if a tad more indifferent than one would wish. (There’s also a cameo midway through the season that will probably make your 40-year-old uncle very happy.)
Reacher has never been a show that focuses on building layered antagonists; in fact, it often opts for evil in the most literal sense, with irredeemable villains absent of any humanity or relatable trait. Neagley is the same. Del Negro plays a scumbag entrepreneur, Gordon Gekko by way of Albert Wesker, while Herriman, for his part, delivers exactly what you’d expect from an actor who’s already played Charles Manson twice. He’s a cult leader to a T — silly dances, self-aggrandizing speeches, and emotional manipulation — all while giving off enough creepy vibes to fill an entire season of Mindhunter. Cole and Woodrow both work within the context of the show; they’re not memorable or particularly interesting, but they’re effective, and in a show like Neagley, that’s all that matters.
‘Neagley’ Needs to Form a Stronger Identity for Itself
The biggest issue with Neagley is that it’s a very safe expansion of the Reacher formula. It has the same structure, follows the same narrative beats, has the same visual language, and uses the same archetypes. It works, but Neagley is such an interesting character, and so different from Reacher, that her show should have been less afraid to try other things stylistically, narratively, and emotionally. So little of her personality is woven into the show’s fabric, and future seasons would greatly benefit from having more of Neagley in their DNA.
The one place where Neagley truly carves an identity of its own is in the action. Neagley isn’t a 6’3” juggernaut; she can’t just punch her way through every situation and is instead forced to rely on a more restrained approach. Her fights feel slower and more hard-hitting; every time she takes a punch, you can see it taking a toll on her. The choreography isn’t as visceral as in Reacher, nor is it as acrobatic as the average Marvel movie: here, the fights feel dirty, desperate even, one punch at a time for everyone involved. Similarly, her team is a lot less battle-hardened. Hudson is actually kind of bad in a one-on-one, which is appreciated; cops are so often depicted as all-around fighters in shows like these, so this bit of reality is a welcome change.
Visually, the direction is straightforward, not exactly flashy but far from mediocre. Blocking is rarely an issue in Reacher, and it’s not in Neagley either, largely because the small cast means there are usually no more than three people in the same shot. The editing is rather rough at times, though, with some particularly clumsy cuts during the fight scenes. The sets and staging are also uninspired, to the point where Neagley’s PI office, Hudson’s police station, and the bank the characters visit midway through the season look identical.
At the end of the day, Neagley gets the job done. It’s a show that delivers exactly what it promises, with a simple but well-executed mystery led by an incredibly intriguing lead and greatly elevated by a likable cast. There’s a lot of room for the series to grow in character work, visual identity, and narrative ambition. However, unlike Reacher, Neagley won’t be changing locations or cast, and Season 1 does a good job laying the foundation for a stronger, more confident sophomore outing.
Neagley premieres September 16 with all episodes on Prime Video.
Hollywood threw quite the party to celebrate the best of TV in the past year.
During the 2026 Emmy Awards on Monday, September 14, Mariska Hargitay took on the brave task of hosting the star-studded awards show live from the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles.
“When I was deciding to host the Emmys, I consistently got two pieces of advice. No. 1. ‘Don’t do it.’ And No. 2, ‘Whatever you do, don’t go for sincerity,’” she said during her opening monologue. “I clearly ignored the first, so please join me as I ignore the second.”
Before any trophy was handed out, the Law & Order: SVU actress expressed gratitude for the TV platform and all that it provides for the world.
Television’s biggest stars stepped into the spotlight for the 2026 Emmys, bringing plenty of personality to the red carpet. Celebrities showed their sartorial flair while posing for the cameras at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, September 14. From bold fashion statements to timeless Hollywood looks, there was no shortage of glamour […]
“I am truly deeply moved and so incredibly grateful to be in a room full of people who have dedicated their lives to telling stories,” Hargitay shared. “Since the beginning of time, humans have all gathered around the light to tell stories. Back then, it was the fire in the cave. And now, it is the screen of your choice. But no matter how we watch, and even though we’re worlds apart, we’re all still holding a bit of that communal light.”

Seehorn later revealed Keri Russell sent every nominee in the category a “lovely gift” and a card with a quote from the late Gloria Steinem that read, “We are linked, not ranked.”
Best Surprise Appearance: Taylor Swift
Joined by her Law & Order: SVU costars, including Ice-T, Peter Scanavino, Kevin Kane and Kelli Giddish, Hargitay got into character as the iconic Olivia Benson in an effort to solve a mystery.
“The mayor’s office is breathing down my neck demanding an answer to the big question: Will Taylor Swift be at the Emmys?” Hargitay said during the skit. “Now, in order to crack a Swiftie case, you’ve got to think like a Swiftie, because the Swifties think that everything is a clue to what she’ll do next.”
Lucky for Swifties, they got the Grammy winner (and her cat) in a creative sketch taped before she attended husband Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football game on Monday night.
Best Shout-Out to a Supportive Partner: Tom Pelphrey

Pelphrey may deserve a standing ovation for the way he gave thanks to his fiancee, Kaley Cuoco, after winning Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his role in Task.
“To my favorite actor in this room — my love, my best friend, my partner, the very pregnant Kaley Cuoco — I love you more than anything, and our family is the crown jewel of my life,” Pelphrey said as the actress tried to hold back tears. “Matilda, daddy loves you. Baby girl, daddy loves you. Thank you. God bless.”
Best Tributes: Dolly Parton, Catherine O’Hara and More
After losing so many talented actors in the past year, the 2026 Emmy Awards pulled at viewers’ heartstrings even more when Parton was honored with a performance by Reba McEntire.
“If there are truly angels on Earth, we just lost one,” presenter Sally Field said. “God bless you, Dolly Parton, my friend. I am not the only one on Earth that will love you forever and ever.”
The tears continued when Macaulay Culkin, Annie Murphy and Dan Levy honored the late Home Alone and Schitt’s Creek star O’Hara.
“Like a good mama, she always showed up when I asked her to,” Culkin said. “Because that was Catherine. That’s what she did. She showed up. And this is the best that we can do for her tonight.”
Noah Kahan went on to perform a special song for the In Memoriam segment, which included costume designer Bob Mackie, who died earlier in the day, and Rob Reiner.
Best Celebration: Michael J. Fox

The Back to the Future star was worthy of all the praise when he accepted the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award in recognition of his contributions to Parkinson’s disease research and advocacy through his Michael J. Fox Foundation.
“Initially, I kept my Parkinson’s diagnosis a secret. I worried it would affect my work and relationships with audiences,” Fox recalled. “Would they laugh if they knew I was sick? I was stunned by the support from all of you, so uplifted and I hadn’t lost what I do. They couldn’t take it away from me. And it’s because you stood up for me.”
Worst Use of Bleeping: John Mulaney

Of course, there are rules and guidelines of what you can’t say on live TV. But when Mulaney presented the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series, some of Us were bummed to hear part of his joke was bleeped.
“I believe it was DJ Khaled who said, ‘Real men don’t go down on their wives,’” Mulaney quipped at the awards show. “But these nominees know that that is B.S. They know there’s often less pressure on them if they do that first.”
Worst Opening Number: Mariska Hargitay

Don’t get Us wrong. We clapped when Hargitay invited New York Knicks point guard Jalen Brunson to be part of her pretaped opening number.
The actress also deserved credit for showcasing her singing skills by performing a unique rendition of Joan Jett’s “I Love Rock ’n’ Roll” with appearances by Jennifer Coolidge and Jean Smart.
But it’s hard not to remember past awards show hosts, like Nikki Glaser and Ricky Gervais, who aren’t afraid to poke fun at celebrities in the audience — and keep them on their toes.
Worst Acceptance Speech Habit: Pre-Written Messages

During the three-hour telecast, several winners spoke from their hearts — and off the cuff — seconds after receiving their new Emmy trophy. Others, like Vince Gilligan, Widow’s Bay writer Katie Dippold and Pluribus star Seehorn, conveniently had a piece of paper with plenty of people to thank.
While live TV has to be tough, so many of Us enjoy the spontaneous — and unscripted — moments at awards shows.
Mariska Hargitay made the 2026 Emmy Awards a night to remember — beginning with a slightly familiar opening monologue. “I am truly deeply moved and so incredibly grateful to be in a room full of people who have dedicated their lives to telling stories,” Hargitay, 62, said at the beginning of the Monday, September 14, […]
Worst Bit in Between Awards: Nick Offerman’s 1st Job
During the show, Hargitay had the opportunity to ask some actors and actresses to share their first jobs.
After Colman Domingo shared his start as a McDonald’s worker, Offerman revealed he was an “erotic painter.”
“I would strip down and dump a can of paint over my head and then roll my nude male body around the house’s exterior,” he explained. “Doors and trim were extra. Roofs were not pleasant, but a buck is a buck.”
Maybe it was just Us, but the segment wasn’t a pretty picture.
When it comes to TV, it’s not exactly uncommon for a show’s first season to be its best. Especially when it comes to sci-fi series, the first season is where the characters and settings are introduced, and where the mechanisms and plot points begin to take place. That was especially the case for Westworld, an HBO series that first premiered in 2016 and blew viewers’ minds with its first installment.
With that said, however, the next three seasons of the show that followed famously lost track of what made Season 1 so compelling. With increasingly complicated plot mechanics and a world that was ever-expanding, Westworld de-prioritized the emotional depth and character development that made Season 1 such a standout. The show was then canceled after Season 4. But as fans of the series still mourn the ending, and how the storyline panned out over the seasons, one Netflix series could be the perfect replacement. Pantheon, which premiered on September 1, 2022, is a must-watch for Westworld fans.
What Is ‘Pantheon’ About?
Pantheon centers around a lonely, heavily bullied teenager named Maddie Kim (Katie Chang), who is going through a journey with grief after losing her father, David (Daniel Dae Kim), two years prior. The series kicks off when, after receiving mysterious messages online and getting worried that she’s been hacked, Maddie realizes that the person trying to contact her is her deceased father — well, sort of. As it turns out, David, once a brilliant software engineer, had his mind uploaded to a computer before his death and lives on through technology.
By doing so, David became a UI, or uploaded intelligence: an AI variant referring to digitized human consciousness. In Pantheon, a person’s mind can be scanned and uploaded onto a computer network, allowing it to live on digitally—interacting with other UIs or even shaping the physical world through technology. When Maddie and David reunite, he discovers that his reality has completely changed. He has missed two years of his daughter’s life; she’s grown and evolved, and he’s missed it all. Moreover, his daughter and wife have had the chance to mourn him and now have to readjust their entire lives to his return to existence.
In addition to Maddie and her family’s storyline, the series also follows Caspian (Paul Dano), who seems like a typical teenager obsessed with his computer and dealing with a rough situation at home with his mother and an abusive father. Things are not as they seem, and the little family might be closely tied to these large tech companies and the technology they use. Eventually, Maddie and Caspian’s paths cross, and we start on a journey questioning what humanity is, whether an uploaded brain is ethical, whether the uploaded person is human or just code, and all the other questions that come with this kind of technological advance. The cast of the series also includes Rosemarie DeWitt, William Hurt in one of his final performances, Taylor Schilling, Aaron Eckhart, Raza Jaffrey, Scoot McNairy, Ron Livingston, Maude Apatow, and Anika Noni Rose.
‘Pantheon’ Is a Satisfying and Emotionally Grounded ‘Westworld’ Replacement
With the synopsis of Pantheon alone, it’s clear that both the animated series and Westworld are adding to the ongoing discussion about AI, the rise of technology and the existential questions of what it means to be human. While Delos in Westworld is all about manufacturing physical robotic bodies who, with time, began gaining their own consciousness, Logorhythms in Pantheon does it the other way round, using Uploaded Intelligence to bring human thinking and emotion into computers as the next step in human evolution.
Most importantly, Pantheon delivers on its premise in a way that doesn’t falter or disappoint like Westworld ultimately did to its viewers. Throughout its two seasons, the series expands on its ideas and on Logorhythms’ mission to take over the world, all while keeping the emotional story surprisingly intimate. So, while Westworld had the bigger budget and the flashy robot bodies, Netflix’s animated series takes similar (if not, the same) questions and makes them feel much more personal and emotionally grounded. Westworld’s biggest mistake was becoming more interested in its puzzle than its people. Pantheon makes sure that the same mistake doesn’t happen, and that people and their relationships are at the forefront at all times.
Ultimately, while both series question the idea of robots gaining consciousness, and what that could mean for the future of society, both series approached its stories in different ways. While Westworld inevitably expanded its world looking for “gotcha” moments and twists, Pantheon took that idea and delivered a concise, emotional story, one that was consistent and entertaining all throughout.

I always love hearing what beauty products celebrities can’t live without. Sarah Jessica Parker’s answer will probably surprise you: It’s lip gloss! But not just any lip gloss — her all-time fave is an iconic drugstore formula.
In an interview with AirMail, Parker revealed she can’t go without CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Gloss in shade Blingtastic, an early 2000s-coded rose gold shimmer. You can take the girl out of Sex and the City, but you can’t take the Sex and the City out of the girl.
Get the CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Gloss for $13 at CVS! Please note, prices are accurate as of the publishing date but are subject to change.
With early aughts makeup trends coming back into style, it’s only a matter of time before you see people rocking this frosty lip gloss. It does have a lot more going for it than its shimmery color, though. Unlike the sticky glosses that ruled the early 2000s, this formula feels soft and nourishing on lips because it’s infused with hyaluronic acid, acai and gogi-berry extract.
The CoverGirl lip gloss also provides a slight plumping effect that doesn’t sting. You’ll experience a refreshing cooling sensation that’s much more enjoyable to wear. The lip glosses of the early 2000s could never!
SJP is far from the only fan of the gloss, either. CVS shoppers say this multi-tasker is essentially “glass lips” in a tube. “I’m on my second tube now, and I love it,” one customer wrote. “It gives glassy lips, a subtle plump, and feels like a minty ice cube on my lips. It feels so different from other plumpers. I’ve tried Maybelline’s plumper and that felt like pain. These can be a little shocking at first, but then they just feel so cool and refreshing, like a sip of mint lemonade on a hot summer’s day.”
Even lip gloss haters will fall in love with CoverGirl Clean Fresh Yummy Plumper Gloss, and at its affordable price, it’s really tough to beat. Thank SJP for the recommendation!

I often forget that Julianne Moore is in her 60s. The actress seems to have somehow stopped the clock, and I feel like I need to copy her beauty routine so I can age like her. Thankfully, not everything she uses is a splurge. She even opts for a drugstore cleanser that’s ridiculously affordable. Moore […]
Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz reunited at the Emmys, giving “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” fans a nostalgic moment. The reunion came after Hulu scrapped plans for a “Buffy” reboot that had been in development, with the actress set to appear. While the former co-stars looked back on their characters in the hit series, Gellar made a subtle remark that appeared to shade the streaming platform.
It has been more than two decades since Sarah Michelle Gellar and David Boreanaz shared the screen together as Buffy and Angel in “Buffy the Vampire Slayer,” and fans were delighted to see the two stars reunite at the Primetime Emmy Awards.
Before they presented the award for Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie, they looked back at their hit show and acknowledged its upcoming 30th anniversary. “When you think about it, it’s kind of crazy, right? A teenage girl chosen by fate to fight vampires and demons, the forces of darkness, and then she falls in love with a vampire with a soul, carrying around a couple 100 years of regret,” Boreanaz said, per The Hollywood Reporter.
Buffy and Angel were tragic love interests in the first few seasons of the series due to a supernatural curse, and the former was forced to let go of the vampire slayer.
Boreanaz’s character left the series after Season 3, only returning for a few appearances in later seasons. The actor then starred in the spin-off series, “Angel.”
The Actress Subtly References The Canceled Reboot
Boreanaz went on to tell Gellar what he thought about the fate of their characters. “You know, Sarah, I always thought that Buffy and Angel would end up together,” he said. With a small shrug, Gellar replied, “Well, I guess we won’t find out,” which got a laugh from the audience.
“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” aired for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003. In early 2025, a report confirmed that Hulu ordered a pilot for the reboot, titled “Buffy the Vampire Slayer: New Sunnydale.” “Hamnet” director Chloé Zhao was tapped to helm the series, and Gellar would reprise her role in a recurring capacity. Ryan Kiera Armstrong was announced as the series’ lead.
In March 2026, however, Gellar revealed that Hulu ultimately decided to axe the project, much to the detriment of fans who were looking forward to the series.
The ‘Buffy’ Stars And Crew Experienced A Few Losses
While on stage, Gellar also addressed the deaths of some “Buffy” stars. “David and I would like to acknowledge that it has been a tough to years for our beloved cast and crew, and we feel very lucky to have worked with such amazing people,” she said.
Michelle Trachtenberg, who played Buffy’s sister Dawn, passed away in February 2025 due to diabetes complications. In March, Nicholas Brendon, who portrayed Xander Harris in the series, died in his sleep due to a heart disease. In June, Anthony Head, who played Buffy’s mentor Giles, passed away following complications from pneumonia.
Sarah Michelle Gellar Revealed A Hulu Executive Canceled The Reboot
Gellar took to Instagram in March to share the unfortunate news that the “Buffy” reboot was not moving forward. At that time, the actress revealed that they had already shot a pilot episode, and the news was unexpected.
Gellar shed more light on the situation and said it was one Hulu executive who ultimately decided to axe the reboot. “We had an executive on our show who was not only not a fan of the original, but was proud to constantly remind us that he had never seen the entirety of the series and it wasn’t for him,” the actress said, per The Blast.
Later comments from Gellar and Zhao suggest that Hulu executives felt the show was intended for the wrong demographic.
Could The ‘Buffy’ Reboot Still Happen?
Following Hulu’s cancellation, Gellar said the “chapter is closed,” referring to the possibility of a reboot. The series could not simply be picked up by another streaming service because of complexities surrounding its intellectual property rights and ownership.
With the project no lonnger moving foward, fans are left wondering whether the franchise could eventually find another path back to the screen. For now, however, there are no plans to revive the project.
Meanwhile, Gellar will be back in the supernatural realm in the romance movie “Thud,” where she will take on the role of the Grim Reaper.
Michael J. Fox has spent more than three decades turning one of the most difficult moments of his life into a mission that has helped millions.
However, at the 2026 Emmy Awards, the actor reminded viewers that the path from fear to advocacy was anything but easy.
As he accepted The Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, Fox delivered an emotional speech that left many in the audience visibly moved, revealing the private doubts he carried after his Parkinson’s diagnosis and the support that ultimately changed everything.
Long before he became one of the world’s most recognizable advocates for Parkinson’s research, Michael J. Fox was a young actor grappling with a devastating reality behind the scenes.
During his acceptance speech, Fox reflected on the uncertainty that followed his diagnosis at age 29. While his career was still thriving, he admitted he wasn’t sure how audiences would react if they learned he was living with the neurological disorder.
“Initially I kept my Parkinson’s diagnosis a secret. I worried it would affect my work and relationships with audiences,” the icon shared per the Daily Mail.
The concern wasn’t just about Hollywood executives or future projects. Fox revealed that he questioned whether the very people who had supported his career would see him differently.
He admitted to wondering if fans would “laugh if they knew I was sick?” Instead, the response he received became one of the most important turning points of his life.
“I was stunned by the support from all of you, so uplifted and I hadn’t lost what I do,” Fox shared.
That acceptance helped reshape his perspective. Rather than letting the disease define him, the 65-year-old realized he could use his platform to make a difference while continuing the work he loved.
“They couldn’t take it away from me. And it’s because you stood up for me. I appreciate it,” he noted.
Fox Credits An Unlikely Inspiration For His Life’s Mission
While much of the attention focused on Michael J. Fox’s comments about Parkinson’s, he began his speech by talking about the humanitarian legacy behind the award itself.
The “Back to the Future” actor explained that Bob Hope was a larger-than-life figure in his household as he grew up. To Fox’s parents, Hope represented far more than entertainment.
“To them, Bob was more than an entertainer. He was a selfless champion of soldiers and military families like mine for decades,” he revealed.
Fox described how Hope repeatedly spent holidays away from home, traveling to visit troops stationed around the world.
For the Hollywood star, those examples of service and commitment took on new meaning years later when he found himself facing a challenge he never expected.
According to Fox, “I couldn’t have known how these lessons would resonate in my own life, until my late 20s, when my life handed me a role I wasn’t looking for.”
Michael J. Fox Honors Family And Foundation During Emotional Emmy Moment
As the speech continued, Fox shifted focus from the diagnosis itself to the work that followed.
He spoke passionately about building a movement dedicated to improving life for Parkinson’s patients and funding research to find better treatments.
“I understood that accepting Parkinson’s didn’t mean I had to surrender to it. It just meant I had to do everything I could for everyone living with this disease,” she remarked.
The star became emotional as he recalled the effort required to launch and grow the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
After collecting himself, Fox highlighted the progress researchers and advocates have made through the foundation’s work.
“I’m proud of the progress we’ve made to benefit Parkinson’s patients and families,” he said, adding, “We move closer to eradicating this disease forever.”
The evening’s most touching moment arrived near the end, when Fox turned his attention to the people who supported him throughout the journey. He thanked his wife of 38 years, Tracy Pollan, their four children, and other family members who stood by him through decades of challenges.
He praised them “for their sacrifices, for their patience, and for their love. You have no idea.”
More From The Blast
The Actor And Ford Turn Friendship Into Parkinson’s Awareness Campaign
If Michael J. Fox’s Emmy speech showed how deeply his Parkinson’s journey has resonated with audiences, his latest project with Harrison Ford shows his advocacy work continues far beyond the awards stage.
Just days before Fox received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award, The Michael J. Fox Foundation launched a new awareness campaign titled “So… Your Friend Has Parkinson’s,” featuring Fox and his “Shrinking” co-star Harrison Ford.
Rather than focusing on medical jargon or fundraising statistics, the campaign tackles a simpler question: how should people respond when someone they care about reveals they have Parkinson’s?
Created in partnership with Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort production company, the campaign uses the natural chemistry between the two actors to make a difficult conversation feel approachable.
Fox and Ford discuss common mistakes people make when trying to help, while also highlighting the emotional realities many Parkinson’s patients face, including isolation and the feeling that others no longer know how to interact with them.
Foundation CEO Debi Brooks said, “The world has taken notice of the special relationship between Michael and Harrison. Our brand campaign combines humor and compassion to highlight the very serious purpose behind our work.”
Ford also explained why the project mattered to him, noting, “Parkinson’s affects millions of people, and sometimes the best thing you can do is simply be there. I’m glad we can use this campaign to help people feel a little more comfortable having those conversations.”
Michael J. Fox Receives Prestigious Lasker Honor For Decades Of Advocacy
The latest television honor was only one of two major recognitions Fox received this month. The actor was also named the recipient of the 2026 Lasker-Bloomberg Public Service Award, one of the most respected honors in American medicine and public health.
Often referred to as part of “America’s Nobels,” the award recognizes individuals whose work has significantly advanced public health and medical progress.
The Lasker Foundation honored Fox for “empowering patients’ voices and accelerating research to find improved therapies and a cure for Parkinson’s disease.”
The recognition reflects more than two decades of work through The Michael J. Fox Foundation, which he launched in 2000.
Since then, the organization has committed more than $3 billion to Parkinson’s research, helping fund studies, clinical trials, data-sharing initiatives, and scientific collaborations around the world.
The Lasker Foundation also pointed out Fox’s role in changing public perception of Parkinson’s. Beyond raising money, he has testified before lawmakers, pushed for increased federal funding, advocated for stem-cell research, and played a key role in efforts that helped pass the National Plan to End Parkinson’s in 2024.
