Porsha Williams is among the principal cast of Bravo’s “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.” While discussing the upcoming limited series, she opened up about her time away from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” and how she knew it was time to return. This comes ahead of the “RHOA” season 17 reunion.

Regarding “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th,” the main cast also includes Vicki Gunvalson, Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, Luann de Lesseps, Gizelle Bryant, and Lisa Barlow. It premieres on August 9, following part of the “RHOA” reunion.

The seven main ladies from “Roaring 20th” sat down with The Hollywood Reporter for an almost hour-long discussion. During the interview, they discussed everything from the legacy of their respective shows to personal struggles they’ve shared with fans over the years.

During a portion of the interview, Williams said, “At first, every year I wanted to leave the show. I was like, ‘What am I doing? This is not it.” She then stated that later in her run on the show, “something happened” and she learned she could use her platform for good.

According to her, “Purpose started arriving after I had been through so much… You realize, I can use this platform for the better for women.”

Williams continued discussing her legacy as a housewife by mentioning the multi-year break she took from the series. She said, “I think I’m probably one of the only ones who took a break. I was gone for three years.” Regarding why she returned, Williams shared that “Ultimate Girls Trip: Thailand” was one reason.

The 45-year-old explained, “It was similar to this experience for me. Now, the break was great, but during that break and I came back, and I did ‘Ultimate Girls Trip,’ I remember telling my manager, and I told some of the executives, I said, ‘I miss the sisterhood.’”

She went on to say that “no one” can relate to the experience of being a housewife. According to her, “No one knows what we know. No one has felt what we have been through. Specifically, she was referring to the fact that their personal experiences are watched by millions of people.

Williams continued, “I remember when I survived this, where I wanted to be under a rock, and I was in front of a camera.” She then said, “So, when I experienced that after those three years, I said, ‘I’m ready to come back.’”

Porsha Williams Announced Her Exit In 2021

Williams joined “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” in 2012 for its 5th season. She quickly became a fan favorite in the franchise, which meant many were shocked when she announced she was leaving the show in 2021. The “Flatline” singer shared the news on her official Instagram in September of that year.

She said at the time, “After ten life-changing, gratifying, incredible years, it is finally time to begin my next chapter. Next season, I will not be returning to the Real Housewives of Atlanta franchise. This was a difficult decision not only to make but also to come to terms with. It’s one I have put a lot of thought into, and because of that, I know it’s the right one.”

Then, years later in February 2024, Williams shared that she would be returning to the show for its 16th season, which served as a soft reboot. According to Benijay Americas, she said in a statement, “I’m incredibly thankful for the vision and faith NBCUniversal has put in me to be a larger part of their family. I’m looking forward to being back on ‘The Real Housewives of Atlanta,’ and showing the world my new world!”

Bravo has released multiple clips from “The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: Roaring 20th.” The first was the official trailer, which the network unveiled in July, offering an overview of what fans can expect, along with iconic moments from the past 20 years of “Real Housewives.”

Additionally, in August, Bravo shared the first several minutes of the premiere episode. In it, former “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star NeNe Leakes could be seen arriving at Williams’ home as she packs for “Girls Trip.” Notably, this will serve as Leakes’ first appearance on Bravo since leaving the show in 2020.

The ‘RHOA’ Season 17 Reunion Will Have 3 Parts

4

Season 17 of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” premiered in April 2026, with the finale airing on August 2. Now, ahead of the reunion, Bravo has released the trailer, with Andy Cohen confirming in the clip that, as is usually the case, there will be three parts.

In the trailer, not only does Williams face off against her former best friend Shamea Morton, but she and K. Michelle also discuss their issues, as they’re both sitting opposite Cohen. It was also confirmed that there will be a pregnancy reveal at the reunion.

Megan Moroney is turning her signature country-pop aesthetic into an American Girl collection, and an 18-inch doll inspired by the singer is coming next. The country star has partnered with American Girl and Mattel on a concert-themed lineup featuring sparkly stage fashions, fan accessories and an iridescent guitar modeled after the one Moroney uses on tour.

The collection launches August 5 as Moroney embarks on her first-ever arena tour. Her American Girl doll will follow during the holiday season, arriving exclusively through Target later this year. For Moroney, who grew up staging imaginary performances with her own American Girl doll, the partnership represents a childhood dream coming full circle.

Moroney revealed that one of her most memorable childhood Christmas gifts was her first American Girl doll, which she still owns today. “I’ve been an American Girl fan for as long as I can remember. One of my favorite Christmas gifts was getting my first American Girl doll, and I still have her in the box at my parents’ house,” Moroney said via a press release sent to The Blast.

Long before she began performing in arenas, the singer used her dolls to create the same types of shows and stories that inspired the new collection. “As a kid, dolls let your imagination run wild…I had mine doing cheerleading stunts and performing concerts, while I also probably cared a little too much about her outfits,” she continued.

That childhood attention to fashion can now be seen throughout the collaboration, which draws directly from Moroney’s sparkling stage wardrobe and personal style. “Getting to create a collection inspired by my own style feels like such a full-circle moment, and it’s something I’ll always cherish,” the country music star said. “I hope fans have just as much fun making the collection their own, expressing themselves, and letting their imaginations run wild.”

American Girl Collection Recreates Her Concert Style

The American Girl x Megan Moroney collection features five separate products designed for the brand’s 18-inch dolls. Each outfit transforms one of the singer’s recognizable performance looks into a doll-sized ensemble. The bright pink sequined outfit reflects Moroney’s love of sparkles and the glamorous fashion associated with her live shows. Meanwhile, the Fan Fashion Outfit offers a more casual concert look, combining denim with sparkling details inspired by the way Moroney elevates everyday clothing.

Fans can complete the experience through the Concert-Ready Accessories and VIP Accessories sets. The products are intended to recreate the excitement of attending a Moroney concert, from planning an outfit to imagining a front-row or all-access experience.

All four fashion and accessory sets will be available through AmericanGirl.com and American Girl retail locations nationwide beginning August 5.

Megan Moroney’s Iridescent Guitar Inspires New Playset

The collection also transforms two important pieces of Moroney’s touring setup into a doll playset. The American Girl x Megan Moroney Guitar & Mic Stand set is modeled after the iridescent guitar and microphone stand the country singer uses during her performances. The showpiece allows fans to imagine their dolls taking center stage and staging their own country-pop concerts.

Each product was designed around the themes of creativity, confidence and self-expression, giving children the freedom to re-create Moroney’s performances or invent entirely new stories.

By timing the launch to her first arena tour, American Girl is connecting Moroney’s career milestone with the imaginative concerts she once created with her dolls as a child.

American Girl Praises The Country Star’s ‘Authenticity’

Pamela Velarde, head of American Girl at Mattel, said Moroney’s creativity and relationship with her young audience made her a natural fit for the brand.

“At American Girl, we’re always looking for new ways to encourage girls to dream big and express who they are through play and fashion,” Velarde said, per a press release sent to The Blast. “Megan’s authenticity, creativity, talent and unmistakable sense of style have made her a role model for so many young fans, and we’re thrilled to partner with her on a collection that encourages girls to celebrate what makes them unique.”

The collaboration allows American Girl to enter Moroney’s “Cloud 9” world while keeping the brand’s focus on imaginative play. Rather than limiting the collection to replicas of her costumes, the products encourage children to place themselves in different parts of the concert experience, as performers, fans, or VIP guests.

Megan Moroney American Girl Doll Is Coming To Target

5

Although the initial August launch centers on clothing, instruments, and accessories, the collaboration will expand with a dedicated Megan Moroney doll during the holiday shopping season.

The new 18-inch American Girl x Megan Moroney doll will be released exclusively through Target and is scheduled to become available on Target.com on November 22 before arriving in Target stores in early December.

Hollywood’s most bitter celebrity divorces rarely end with both sides claiming a measure of victory, and Ioan Gruffudd’s years-long legal fight with Alice Evans proved no exception. 

After nearly four years of public accusations, courtroom clashes, and financial disputes, a judge handed down a decision that split the outcome in dramatic fashion. 

While Gruffudd secured another five years of legal protection from his ex-wife, the financial rulings largely favored Evans, leaving the “Fantastic Four” actor responsible for ongoing support payments despite his attempts to end them.

5

The marathon legal dispute reached its conclusion after a nine-day hearing in Los Angeles, where both sides scored significant wins.

According to a report from the Daily Mail, Ioan Gruffudd successfully convinced Judge Michael J. Convey to renew the restraining order protecting both him and his wife, Bianca Wallace, for another five years. 

The judge concluded that Evans had harassed and abused the couple, finding that her conduct caused them significant emotional distress.

However, the courtroom victory quickly gave way to disappointment when attention shifted to the financial issues dividing the former spouses.

Gruffudd argued that he had overpaid Evans by roughly $400,000 during the divorce proceedings. After examining competing reports prepared by forensic accountants for both parties, the court rejected that claim and determined the overpayment totaled just $27,000.

His attempt to eliminate spousal support also fell short. Rather than ending the payments, Judge Convey ruled that the actor must continue paying Evans ten percent of his gross income, approximately $1,862 each month, under the terms of the pair’s prenuptial agreement. 

The ruling came in addition to the $3,579 in child support the actor had already agreed to pay. The court also acknowledged that Evans has primary care of the former couple’s daughters, Ella and Elsie, “100 per cent” of the time.

Gruffudd’s Financial Claims Were Rejected Even As The Judge Questioned Evans’ Conduct

5

Although Alice Evans prevailed on several major financial issues, Judge Convey was openly critical of parts of her handling of the case.

One point of contention centered on a Coutts savings account containing $168,000. While the judge ruled the money belonged solely to the actress, he also found she had failed to disclose the account in a “timely manner,” adding that the omission “impaired her credibility.”

Evans testified that the account had been depleted to cover her living expenses following the couple’s separation in early 2021 after the breakdown of their 14-year marriage.

The judge also reviewed four financial accounts belonging to Ioan Gruffudd after the actor reportedly changed his position over whether they should be considered community property. Judge Convey ultimately found the revised argument unconvincing.

Ioan Gruffudd Receives Strong Judicial Backing Over Harassment Findings

5

Although Gruffudd left court without the financial ruling he wanted, the judge’s written decision strongly backed his claims that years of online harassment had taken a serious personal and professional toll.

In one of the ruling’s strongest passages, Judge Convey wrote, “First and foremost, she committed domestic violence upon Ioan and his wife, Bianca.”

Judge Convey also concluded that the consequences of Evans’ conduct extended far beyond emotional distress. 

In his written decision, he said there was “ample, persuasive and credible evidence” that her actions had a profound and lasting effect on both Gruffudd and Wallace’s emotional well-being, adding that it prevented the actor from remaining “fully and gainfully employed to the same extent as he was during the marriage.”

The judge further criticized what he viewed as Evans’ failure to make a sustained effort to stop the behavior, writing, “Another important and weighty factor was Alice’s lack of sincere and sustained effort over an extended time, to cease the abusive behaviour (she could start by staying off social media).”

Gruffudd Opens Up About The Career Fallout From Bitter Split

5

The judge’s ruling marked the end of Ioan Gruffudd and Alice Evans’ lengthy legal battle, but it also echoed claims the actor had been making long before the final decision.

As the Daily Mail reported in February, Gruffudd painted a bleak picture of how the breakdown of his marriage allegedly affected every aspect of his life, insisting the fallout extended far beyond his personal relationships. 

The actor testified that he believed Evans was determined to destroy both his reputation and career, claiming she repeatedly threatened to “Amber Heard” him if he left the marriage. 

Gruffudd told the court he lived in fear that false allegations would end his career, alleging Evans called him “a child molester, a pedophile and a drug addict” and even encouraged their daughters to report him if they believed he had behaved inappropriately. 

He also claimed she threatened to accuse his now-wife, Wallace, of criminal conduct in an effort to have her deported. 

Gruffudd maintained that the years of public accusations severely damaged his professional standing, leaving him with fewer acting opportunities and a dramatic decline in income since the couple’s split. 

Ioan Gruffudd’s Attorney Blames Alice Evans For Dramatic Career Decline

5

During closing arguments in the court battle in May, Gruffudd’s attorney echoed the same sentiments, arguing that the “King Arthur” actor’s financial collapse was directly tied to what he described as Evans’ years-long campaign to destroy his reputation. 

According to The Blast, attorney Joseph Langlois claimed Evans spread “false narratives” and “malicious” accusations following their 2021 split, causing Gruffudd’s annual income to fall from approximately $585,000 to just $125,000 as acting opportunities dried up. 

Langlois told the court that the allegations severely damaged Gruffudd’s standing in Hollywood, making it increasingly difficult for him to secure work and continue paying substantial spousal support. 

The attorney argued that Evans’ conduct amounted to an attempt to “ruin” her ex-husband’s career, citing years of public accusations and social media activity.

Aaron Pierre is opening up about the values that keep him grounded as his Hollywood career reaches new heights.

The actor revealed how fatherhood influences every career decision he makes, reflected on navigating his rapid rise to fame after Rebel Ridge, and shared how he’s approaching the iconic role of John Stewart in HBO’s Lanterns.

With Aaron Pierre set to appear in HBO’s Lanterns, his profile is expected to rise even further following acclaimed performances in Rebel Ridge, where he portrayed former Marine Terry Richmond, along with voice roles in Mufasa: The Lion King and GOAT.

While many actors choose projects that further elevate their fame, Pierre says his decisions are guided by what will ultimately benefit his son, whose name he has chosen to keep private, as well as the child’s mother.

“If ever I accept an opportunity that takes me away from him, it needs to be something that contributes to the legacy that I am building to directly inspire my son,” the actor told GQ.

Aaron Pierre Says Family Comes Before Fame

Pierre’s commitment to fatherhood is already reflected in his voice work on Mufasa: The Lion King and GOAT. For the latter, he even brought his son into the recording studio, where the youngster helped shape the character Mane Attraction, whom Pierre voices in the 2026 film.

“He was giving me notes—he wanted me to give variety. That character would not be what it is today without his input,” Pierre said.

Beyond putting his son first, Pierre says his loyalty remains with his family and close friends before his career.

“I am a father, a son, a brother, a grandson, a friend,” Pierre said before adding, “I’m all of those things, and then I’m an actor.”

Aaron Pierre Admits Fame Initially Overwhelmed Him

From 2017 to 2023, Pierre appeared in a handful of stage productions, television episodes, and films.

His breakout arrived with Netflix’s 2024 hit Rebel Ridge, which attracted more than 30 million views within its first three days of release.

Reflecting on being thrust into the spotlight, Pierre said the experience “kind of went in stages.”

Initially, he isolated himself by avoiding public outings altogether. After growing tired of staying home, he began wearing disguises to avoid being recognized.

“I just didn’t know how to navigate it yet,” Pierre admitted of his sudden rise to fame.

Aaron Pierre Credits His Sister For Keeping Him Grounded

Elsewhere in the interview, Pierre revealed he leaned on his family while adjusting to his new reality.

He invited his “emotionally intelligent” younger sister over for a conversation, and he says the discussion gave him “the toolkit” he needed to move forward.

“I needed to navigate the next chapter in my life—that was now my reality and always will be my reality,” Pierre said of the conversation following Rebel Ridge. “Even if I stopped acting today, that experience is still going to be what it is.”

He added, “There’s no training for that. It either happens or it doesn’t. And when it does, it happens with immediate effect.”

Aaron Pierre Teases His Take On Green Lantern

Next in Pierre’s rapidly rising career is stepping into the role of one of DC’s most iconic superheroes, Green Lantern.

The actor will portray John Stewart in HBO’s upcoming series Lanterns, a project that has already generated significant anticipation among fans.

Discussing the role, Pierre said he felt a responsibility to approach the character in an “authentic, original way.” That mindset led him to work closely with the show’s creators to emphasize the human qualities behind the superhero.

“One of my favorite things about being a Green Lantern is that, yes, they’re superheroes, but they’re very relatable folks,” he said. “My hope is that people watch the series and think: if I can just figure out where to get my application in, I might be able to join the Green Lantern Corps too.”

Jeans will simply never go out of style. They’re truly a wardrobe classic, but sometimes, you just want to throw on sweatpants and call it a day. Unfortunately, certain occasions require a bit more polish than fleece-lined bottoms can offer. Enter: tailored pants.

The clean lines, flattering fit and billowy silhouette are rooted in the tailored pants style, making them sleek yet comfortable. And although they’re often associated with formal and professional attire, today’s fashion people are reinventing them with a cool-girl edge. Labels like Aritzia, Spanx and Gap are even jumping on board, so of course, I had to round up my favorite finds on the internet. Ahead, discover the coolest tailored pants, and maybe even ditch those jeans.

Brad Pitt is requesting that Angelina Jolie disclose financial information, including film earnings, amid the pair’s ongoing legal battle over their former French winery.

According to documents obtained by Us on Tuesday, August 4, lawyers for Pitt, 62, requested during a Friday, July 31, court hearing that Jolie, 51, provide “documents sufficient to show her income” after their 2016 split, particularly the period from 2017 to 2019.

Lawyers for Jolie, who had previously provided financial records of her earnings between 2020 and 2021, have argued that the requested financial information is not relevant to the former couple’s legal dispute over their French winery Château Miraval, which they owned together from 2008 to 2021.

Us has reached out to representatives for Pitt and Jolie for comment.

Per the documents, Pitt’s legal team is “not even seeking all of her profit statements … just seeking statements that show for films they are already in the money and she is receiving payments.”

After Jolie had previously stated during the legal battle that she had “largely put her career on hold, forgoing years of compensation in the process,” Pitt’s team argued that the disclosure of their request will put Jolie’s allegations of Pitt’s “coercion” and “economic leverage” into “context.”

In a legal response to Pitt’s request, Jolie’s team stated that “the entire basis for Pitt compelling these answers is a made-up theory that Jolie did not allege.”

On Monday, October 6, Jolie, 50, filed court docs as part of the never-ending […]

The response continued, “Pitt claims that Jolie has put her entire financial condition at issue going back to 2017 because of her allegation that she was seeking ‘financial independence.’ But Pitt’s selective quote misleadingly fails to include the entirety of her allegation. Jolie does not allege that she was seeking financial independence in the abstract; she alleges that she was seeking ‘financial independence from her ex-husband.’ Separating from one’s ex-husband is categorically different from an allegation that one is suffering general financial distress.”

Keke Palmer is joining NBC in a brand new role!

The Nickelodeon alum has been revealed as the host of the first celebrity edition of “The Voice” with an equally iconic array of coaches to shape up everyone’s vocals and performances.

Keke Palmer has, over the years, ventured into several sectors of the entertainment industry, leaving her footprints and even walking away with awards like an Emmy in 2024 for hosting an NBC game show.

The actress, dressed in matching pink sets, tried out her hosting voice with the viral four-step challenge on Instagram. The prompt on the video asked that the media personality repeat “This is The Voice” in a disappointed, happy, sarcastic, and flirty tone, which she aced at every point.

Most importantly, the television star confirmed the rumors that she would be the host with the most for the celebrity edition of the singing show, which also doubles as its 31st season on television. Palmer declared her excitement to see a fully packed studio with an audience waiting to be entertained.

Palmer exuded radiance in the short clip, rocking her short curly hair in shades of auburn and chestnut paired together with a softly made-up face and pearly white teeth.

The video, shared on NBC The Voice’s official Instagram page, was followed with the caption, “You already know who it is! Keke Palmer hosts The Voice Season 31 coming in 2027 on NBC.”

Palmer began her career in Hollywood as a child star and earned early fame via her role in “The Wool Cap” in 2004 before going on to appear in the equally successful “Akeelah and the Bee” in 2006.

The teen star’s good news was well received by fans in their hundreds who praised her generational run, clinching those gigs in the industry. She even earned the “KEKE KEEP A JOB PALMER!!!” title from this commenter.

Fabletics’ Instagram page did not forget to remind the actress just how excited they are for the news, as another commenter noted that Palmer and former NBA star Shaquille O’Neal are one of the most booked personalities in the industry.

Several long-time fans of the actress also promised to tune in to the show once it kicks off in 2027 simply because she would be handling the hosting microphone. “Sounds like I might tune in; I love her as a host on PASSWORD,” one Instagram user noted.

Comments like “Queen of being employed,” “There’s literally no job she can’t do,” and “Extended her record for keeping a job,” all sat under the post.

‘The Voice’ Season 31 Is Set To Be The First Celebrity Edition In The History Of The Franchise

As shared by Variety, NBC revealed on Tuesday, August 4, that production will start very soon with eyes set on a date in 2027 to air the show. Palmer will host, while a packed team including Queen Latifah, Joe Jonas and Riley Green will coach the contestants.

While celebrity appearances are not alien to earlier seasons of the show, this will be the first time anywhere in the world that a season will be solely dedicated to celebrity contestants.

Various personalities across all sectors will fight for the bragging rights of “The Voice” winner, including actors, influencers, comedians, reality TV stars, athletes, and many more.

It will not be Palmer’s first rodeo as a host for TV shows, including NBC, as she currently handles the game show “Password.” The media guru is also the star of Peacock’s “The ‘Burbs” and has previously served as a guest mentor on “American Idol.”

The 32-Year-Old Broke A Daytime Emmy Record In 2024

4

Palmer, two years ago, broke the glass ceiling in the Primetime Emmy universe when she became the first woman in nearly two decades to win an Emmy for hosting a game show. Deadline noted that she took the Emmy for Outstanding Host for a Game Show for “Password.”

She wrestled with four men in the category, including Steve Harvey, Pat Sajak, Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik, to win the title, becoming the first Black woman to be nominated in the category and even win it. It was also the first time in 50 years that the NBC show had been nominated or won in that category.

Palmer got to add that Emmy to the one she won in 2021 for the Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series category courtesy of her role in “Turnt Up With The Taylors.”

Palmer’s NBC show has Jimmy Fallon at the wheel as an executive producer, and he duly earned his flowers in the actress’ acceptance speech at the Peacock Theatre in Los Angeles.

“I’m really just so thankful; I’m almost speechless. I want to thank the people who allowed this to happen, thank you to Jimmy Fallon, thanks to NBC,” Palmer declared in 2024.

Keke Palmer Highlighted Her Hollywood Legacy In Clapback Response Against Colorism

In 2022, an internet conversation erupted following Palmer’s performance in “Nope,” a box office flick directed by Jordan Peele. As noted by BET, some social media users had claimed that it was Palmer’s breakout role, a statement the media personality strongly refuted by stating facts about her Hollywood journey.

In the rebuttal, Palmer stated that colorism fueled the reasoning behind comparing her to anyone, adding that attempting to reduce her decades of success to a single film overlooked her long list of artistic achievements.

Palmer duly informed the public that she has achieved several milestones in her career, including becoming the youngest talk show host. Her resume also has her as the first Black woman to lead her own Nickelodeon series, and the youngest and first Black actress to play Cinderella on Broadway.

The TV star, who insisted she was an incomparable talent, reminded naysayers that she has been a leading actress since age 11 with over 100 acting credits to her name. She noted that the release and success of “Nope” have only extended the long list of her accomplishments in the entertainment industry.
