Olivia Culpo is taking a moment to reflect on her body’s changes amid her second pregnancy.

“Growing bigger by the day and more proud of my body than ever,” Culpo, 34, wrote via her Instagram Story on Sunday, August 23. “I’m in awe of its ability to carry and grow these little humans so close together! So incredibly grateful.”

Alongside the message, Culpo snapped a mirror selfie featuring the model in a two-piece brown set with a plunging neckline. Culpo gave a soft smile for the camera as she placed a hand on her growing stomach.

Culpo and her husband, San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, welcomed their first child, daughter Colette, in 2025. After giving birth, Culpo reflected on how motherhood had changed her sense of style.

Olivia Culpo celebrated her 34th birthday with her growing family by her side. “This birthday!!!” Culpo wrote via Instagram Stories on Friday, May 8, sharing a maternity photo. In the snapshot, the model wore a bump-hugging floral sundress with cap sleeves. Culpo and her husband, Christian McCaffrey, announced earlier on Friday that they are expecting […]

“When you’re a mom, you really do have to find ways to streamline your life,” Culpo exclusively told Us in December 2025. “You don’t have enough time to go through piles and piles of clothes, and you don’t want to — you want to spend time with your baby.”

She continued, “I find myself reaching for the same things — having more uniforms, if you will. It’s been a really great way to just simplify getting dressed. As a new mom, I definitely like to take the guesswork out of what to wear.”

Culpo announced in May that she and McCaffrey are expecting their second baby. In the Instagram reveal, Culpo gave McCaffrey a kiss as Colette sat in her lap beside a sonogram photo.

“Best birthday gift,” Culpo captioned the upload. “Baby #2 coming soon.”

While updating fans on her pregnancy in July, Culpo revealed that this time “feels different” yet somewhat similar to when she was expecting her daughter.

“I think I’m having a boy, [and] I think it’s going to look exactly like my brother, Gus [Culpo],” she speculated in the video. “I’ve actually been so emotional lately. Christian’s leaving for the season, [which] is so sad. Everything feels overwhelming.”

Olivia went on to explain that she plans to have a C-section again, explaining that a vaginal birth after cesarean “wasn’t an option.” (Doctors typically recommend waiting at least 18 to 24 months before attempting a VBAC after a C-section due to risk of uterine rupture.)

“I scheduled it on a day Christian has a slightly easier [day], basically it’s not an off-day for him,” Olivia said. “He’ll be able to come just for the birth and then, aside from that, he’ll have to go back. So, it’s going to be different than my first birth. I will be without my husband. I’m grateful for my village and large security detail team.”

Kim Zolciak‘s son Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr. made headlines after he was arrested on felony charges of aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual assault.

The alleged incident occurred at Lifetime Fitness on April 23. The minor female victim, who Us has chosen not to identify, reported an aggravated sexual battery and aggravated sodomy and was taken to the hospital. The alleged victim underwent a test and the results found no evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina, according to a police report obtained by Us.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shares KJ with estranged husband Kroy Biermann. The pair, who tied the knot in 2011, welcomed son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane in 2012 and 2013, respectively. Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship. The exes filed for divorce in 2023.

Scroll down for more details on what we know about the arrest:

When Was KJ Biermann Jr. Arrested?

KJ was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on August 17, according to court records obtained by Us. A judge did not set bond, and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for September 8. He is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center.

What Has Kim Zolciak Said About KJ Biermann Jr.’s Arrest?

Zolciak spoke out about the arrest in a statement to Us on Friday, August 21.

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling. He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged,” Zolciak said. “My son voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed. Additionally, an examination was conducted, and no DNA belonging to my son was found.”

She continued, “False accusations can have devastating consequences not only for the person being accused, but also for genuine survivors of sexual assault and abuse. Every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence. At the same time, no one should be publicly condemned based solely on an accusation.”

Zolciak added, “We remain confident that the facts and evidence will establish the truth, and we ask that people allow the proper process to take its course rather than spreading unproven allegations.”

What Has KJ Biermann Jr.’s Attorney Said About the Arrest?

Jason Sheffield, the attorney representing KJ, defended his client in a statement to Us. “First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney told Us in a statement on Friday, August 21. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.”

Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the GBI [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.”

Sheffield alleged that “these false allegations are a desperate cry for attention and are motivated by my client’s past rejection of the alleged victim’s unwanted advances.”

“The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy. He is not only presumed innocent but is, in fact, innocent,” Sheffield told Us. “I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean-spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible. I’m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.”

Kobe Bryant’s widow, Vanessa Bryant, is marking what would have been her late husband’s 48th birthday.

“Happy birthday, baby,” Vanessa, 44, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, August 23, along with a throwback picture of the former couple. “I love you so much.”

In the throwback photo, Vanessa could be seen sitting on her late husband’s lap as the pair lounged outside in an outdoor chair. Kobe wore a blue t-shirt with black pants and flip flops, while Vanessa was barely visible under her husband’s once-towering 6’6’’ frame.

She added her late husband’s birthdate alongside a red heart and praying hands emojis in the short-but-sweet caption.

Vanessa Bryant is addressing viral speculation that she’s currently pregnant and plans to walk down the wedding aisle. “Can you guys decide already…..am I pregnant for the 100th time or am I getting remarried???,” Bryant, 43, posted via her Instagram Story on Sunday, May 3.  Bryant was responding to a viral post on X that […]

Several Hollywood celebrities and A-list sports stars showed their love and support in the comments section, including Kris Jenner, Candace Parker, Kimora Lee Simmons, David Beckham and Gabrielle Union.

The famous Los Angeles Laker tragically died in a helicopter crash alongside his 13-year-old daughter, Gianna, and seven other people on January 26, 2020. (Vanessa and Kobe, who married in April 2001, also shared Natalia, Bianka and Capri.)

The basketball star was 41.

Vanessa has found ways to continue to honor her late husband and daughter while simultaneously — and frequently — shutting down pregnancy and dating rumors as fans continue to speculate she has moved on since the crash. (The family renamed and expanded the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation to include “Mambacita,” an ode to Gianna. The nonprofit organization aims to create a positive and empowering environment via sports for underserved youth and female athletes.)

“Can you guys decide alread…. Am I pregnant for the 100th time or am I getting remaried???” Vanessa shared via her Instagram Story on May 3, denouncing another round of online rumors — this time claiming she was planning to remarry after inheriting 5 percent of her husband’s wealth.

Miniseries get to do something a regular ongoing show usually can’t. They pack it all for you so nicely and tightly right according to your attention span. You get one complete story, from start to finish, without worrying about renewal or stretching things out for another season. That constraint ends up being a huge advantage.

A few of these shows are based on real events, which raises the stakes in a different way, since the writers don’t get to invent a happy ending just because the audience wants one. Let’s have a look at the six miniseries that earned their short runtime instead of wasting it.

6

‘The Night Of’ (2016)

Image via HBO

Naz (Riz Ahmed) plays a college kid who has one bad night, ends up charged with murder, and in the end, the prison he got stuck in has changed him into someone almost unrecognizable. Now the viewers do not know whether or not he actually committed the crime. HBO takes its time with every procedural detail, autopsy reports, jury selection, evidence chains, and none of it feels like padding.

John Stone (John Turturro), the defense lawyer, deals with a genuinely brutal case of eczema on his feet that he can’t stop scratching through the whole show, a small detail that makes him feel more human than most TV lawyers ever get to be. James Gandolfini was originally supposed to play that role before he passed away, which delayed the whole production for years.

5

‘When They See Us’ (2019)

Image via Netflix

Ava DuVernay tells the real story of five teenage boys coerced into false confessions for a crime they didn’t commit, the Central Park Five case, and she doesn’t rush a single interrogation scene, letting the pressure and manipulation play out in real time until it’s almost unbearable to watch. Korey Wise (Jharrel Jerome) gets played at every age, from teenager to grown man, by the same actor, who won an Emmy doing it.

All five men were eventually exonerated by actual DNA evidence and a confession from the real attacker, over a decade after they’d already served time. The show doesn’t let anyone off easy either, including a real newspaper ad calling for their execution that gets dramatized almost exactly as it was printed.

4

‘Band of Brothers’ (2001)

Image via HBO

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks spent something like 125 million dollars making this, an enormous number for television at the time, and every dollar shows up on screen in the battle sequences, especially the freezing siege at Bastogne. Major Richard Winters (Damian Lewis) leads Easy Company through some of the worst fighting of World War II.

Each episode opens with real interviews from actual surviving veterans of Easy Company, though their names get withheld until the very last episode so you don’t accidentally find out who makes it home early. That choice alone tells you how seriously this show treated the real men behind the story.

3

‘Unbelievable’ (2019)

Image via Netflix

Marie Adler (Kaitlyn Dever) plays a teenage rape survivor who reports her assault, gets disbelieved by police, and ends up charged with lying about it, based on an actual Pulitzer-winning news investigation. Years later, detectives Grace Rasmussen (Toni Collette) and Karen Duvall (Merritt Wever) catch the actual serial rapist and the truth finally comes out.

This one show is so hard to sit through because of the acting, the storyline and every single thing involved. The disbelief looks so ordinary, without any dramatic villain cop twirling a mustache, just tired, careless people failing a teenage girl one small decision at a time. The real Marie Adler eventually got an apology and a settlement, years after the show’s timeline ends, which barely feels like enough after everything that happens first.

2

‘Chernobyl’ (2019)

Image via HBO

Valery Legasov (Jared Harris) is a real scientist who helped contain the 1986 nuclear disaster and later exposed the Soviet lies covering it up before taking his own life. Craig Mazin built full-scale replica sets for this show and got the technical details of a nuclear meltdown accurate enough that actual nuclear engineers have praised how careful it is.

This became the highest-rated show on IMDb for a while after release, and it genuinely sparked a wave of tourism to the real Chernobyl site, for better or worse. The sound design alone, that low radiation hum sitting under almost every scene, does as much work building dread as anything in the actual script.

1

‘The Queen’s Gambit’ (2020)

Image via Netflix

Beth Harmon (Anya Taylor-Joy) is an orphaned chess prodigy fighting addiction while climbing to the top of a game that barely had any room for women at the time, and real grandmasters Garry Kasparov and Bruce Pandolfini designed every single chess match in the show to be accurate down to the actual moves.

This became one of the most-watched limited series Netflix had ever released, and it caused a real, measurable spike in chess set sales and new sign-ups on chess apps worldwide, an actual board game boom caused by a TV show. Taylor-Joy learned real chess notation for the role, and it shows in how convincingly she moves through a game most actors would just be pretending to understand.

At the beginning of every season, we like to take inventory of the clothes we wear often and the ones collecting dust. While most people focus on everyday styles, you’d be remiss to sleep on your work wardrobe. After all, these are the pieces you wear to boardroom meetings, client lunches and beyond. If your go-tos are looking a little outdated, let Us introduce you to button-up blouses, a style that’s so versatile, they might work as hard as you do.

Button-up blouses are the functional, feminine version of a button-down shirt. They feature soft details, flattering silhouettes and pretty accents that are appropriate for the office and post-9-to-5 drinks. There are plenty of options online, but some of our favorites are from Quince, Gap, Amazon and Abercrombie & Fitch, starting as low as $17.

17 Stylish Button-Up Blouses for Work and Beyond

1. Our Favorite: Your classic button-up shirt just got a major upgrade! Designed with a corset-style waist and peplum hem, this striped blouse flatters your body the moment you slip it on.

2. Designer-Looking: The ruffle cuffs, stand collar and loose silhouette make this summer-to-fall top look like something designer. It only has four front buttons, however, we like that the design makes it easier to tuck the hem into trousers and jeans.

3. Rich Mom: We can see everyone from rich moms to CEOs wearing this buttoned blouse. The rich brown color, elbow-length sleeves and gold-hue buttons feel so classy, you’ll wear it to work, fancy functions and charity events.

4. Soft Statement: Babydoll dresses were everywhere this summer, and this quarter-sleeve top lets you take the style into fall. The semi-long sleeves and soft fabric are ideal for the transitional season, and we just adore the little ruffle trim.

5. Expensive-Looking: Ask anyone, and they’ll tell you that a satin blouse gives off high-end vibes. The combination of the shiny finish and collared neckline gives boss babe energy. The best part is you can dress it up with pencil skirts and down with jeans!

It’s not quite fall as yet, but our sights can’t stop gravitating toward autumnal styles . . . and apparently, cool fashion girls aren’t resisting either. The latest trend we’re seeing on NYC streets? Long jean skirts. They’re already everywhere with ‘It’ girls and A-listers like Julia Roberts, Natalie Portman and Jennifer Lopez all stunning […]

6. Low-Key Genius: If you look too fast, you’ll miss the buttons hiding on this puff-sleeve blouse. In fact, the buttons are actually hidden under the fabric paneling, which provides a secure fit with a seamless appearance.

7. Slimming Staple: Feel polished and confident when you throw on this tie-front shirt from Grace Karin. The A-line silhouette comes from the fabric belt that cinches at the waist before flowing over the tummy.

8. Anything But Basic: A traditional button-up shirt can feel a bit stiff, so finding a fashion-forward option like this is like scoring gold. The boxy shape still feels feminine due to the oversized puff sleeves, and the coffee hue is very trendy for fall.

9. Instant Upgrade: It’s okay to be obsessed with a work staple, especially when it looks as good as this sleek shirt. The oversized top has interesting flared sleeves, side slits and a high-low hem that takes things up a few notches.

10. Boho Babe: Free People pieces may not be considered workwear attire, but this button-up top easily transitions from work to play. The functional button-loop front lets you make it as conservative or flirty as you’d like.

11. CEO Vibes: Walk into a room like you run the place while wearing this Nordstrom shirt. It’s business up top and party on the bottom, thanks to the wrap design that naturally slims the waist.

12. Sale Alert: Madewell is a favorite among Us Weekly editors and celebrities, so we’re thrilled this button-up shirt is 60% off right now. What makes this poplin top stand out is the drawstring hem, which cinches at your smallest point for an hourglass look.

13. Everyday Ease: Casual Fridays call for something a little more playful, like this pintuck blouse from Abercrombie. The lacey scalloped trim and puff sleeves are cute on their own, but the plaid print is set to be huge for fall. You can thank the patternmaxxing trend for that!

14. Polished Pick: Okay, so this Abercrombie find is technically a vest, but it’s 2026, and we’re all about wearing vests as tops now! In addition to the buttoned front, this pick has a V-neckline and a sleek peplum hem that feels professional yet flattering.

15. Quite the Charmer: Quince is one of our favorite retailers for workwear, and we’re scooping up this versatile short-sleeve blouse ASAP. Not only does it have all the makings of a work-appropriate top, but the Peter Pan collar, ruffle hems and vertical stitching give it tons of personality, too.

16. Year-Round Staple: An Oxford shirt is a classic that belongs in every closet, and this organic cotton find is one to consider. We really like the oversized fit and ultra-soft feel, which lets you wear it as a swim cover-up on beach days and as a work top on Monday.

17. Top Seller: Curious what other people are eyeing? Then check out this poplin shirt from Gap, which is currently on sale now. Unlike the others on our list, this one has a more fitted silhouette that pairs well with baggy culottes or barrel pants.

Camila Morrone is the latest actor to join the cast of Miami Vice ’85.

With her addition, the film is shaping up to be a major collaboration of high-profile talent, though more details about Morrone’s role are still under wraps.

The movie previously announced Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler as part of the cast.

Fans of Miami Vice will be thrilled to hear that actress Camila Morrone has been added to the cast of the upcoming reboot.

The American-Argentine actress and model will star alongside Michael B. Jordan and Austin Butler, who are playing the police duo Ricardo “Rico” Tubbs and James “Sonny” Crockett.

For now, Morrone’s role remains under wraps but may become clearer as the premiere date approaches. She is further joined by Supernatural star Alden Ehrenreich and Gossip Girl actress Whitney Peak.

The movie is set to debut in May 2028 after a significant delay pushed its release back from the initial August 2027 date.

Fans Think Camila Morrone Is Playing Detective Gina

Online, fans were hyped about Morrone’s addition and quickly began speculating about the part she will play.

“Has to be Gina. Nice choice, has the look,” one user said of the model.

“Camila is the PERFECT Gina. And honestly all I can think about is … and to quote Ms. V herself …. ‘It’s inevitable,’” another fan commented.

Gina is a member of the Vice Division who also works undercover for the Organized Crime Bureau. She is Detective Trudy Joplin’s (Olivia Brown) partner and was originally portrayed by Saundra Santiago.

‘Miami Vice ’85’ Brings Crockett And Tubbs Back To Miami

According to a synopsis of the film, “Vice detectives Crockett and Tubbs, from Miami-Dade’s organized crime bureau, go undercover as criminals to infiltrate and dismantle southern Florida’s criminal enterprises.”

It has also been revealed that the film will be set in the mid-1980s and be inspired by the pilot episode and first season of the original Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas-led series.

Dylan Clark/Dylan Clark Productions will produce the action thriller, with a script by Dan Gilroy. It will also be filmed entirely in IMAX to immerse viewers in Miami’s sights and sounds, with Joseph Kosinski helming the project.

Production will begin later this year, although an exact date has yet to be announced.

‘Miami Vice ’85’ Director Wanted MBJ And Austin Butler From The Start

Jordan and Butler were among the first actors announced for the movie, which came as little surprise given Kosinski’s strong desire to cast them. The director revealed his interest in working with both actors during an interview with Variety last year.

“Michael is someone I’ve admired for a long time, [and] always wanted to work with him,” he said.

“Austin, I think, is proving himself as someone to watch. Again, I’ve just really admired his choices,” the director continued. “If it ends up being those two, I’d be very lucky.”

While fans face a long wait before Jordan and Butler share the screen, both actors have other projects that have either recently debuted or may arrive before Miami Vice ’85.

Jordan is set to star in “The Thomas Crown Affair,” following his appearances in the award-winning “Sinners” and the animated film “Swapped.” Butler has “Heat 2” and “American Psycho” in the works and recently appeared in “Eddington” and “Caught Stealing.”

‘Miami Vice ’85’ Doesn’t Have Don Johnson’s Blessing

3

One person who does not share the growing anticipation for Miami Vice ’85 is original series star Don Johnson.

In an interview with Entertainment Tonight in April, Johnson was asked what he thought about the upcoming reboot and whether he would be involved.

He responded with a four-word phrase: “It ain’t Miami Vice,” seemingly suggesting that he does not believe the new movie will match the legacy of the original series.

At the time, the actor also described starring in the original series as a “profound event” in his life.

New details regarding Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson’s toxic on-again, off-again relationship are being revealed following the actress’ sudden and tragic death at 36.

Panettiere’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, claimed to The New York Times on Sunday, August 23, that Hickerson, 37, had once pawned “some of” the Nashville alum’s belongings, including a vintage guitar, at an undisclosed time prior to her death. Vogel further alleged that Panettiere was ultimately “shocked” to find more of her possessions in Hickerson’s storage unit.

A second individual, speaking to The Times anonymously, corroborated Vogel’s accusations that Hickerson previously sold a handful of Panettiere’s belongings.

Hickerson has not publicly addressed the accusations. Us reached out for comment regarding claims he pawned her property.

In the years after they broke up, Hayden Panettiere’s relationship with Brian Hickerson was still complicated even at the time of her tragic death. “Hayden and Brian have been on and off for years, but have pretty much always remained in contact,” a source exclusively shares with Us of the pair’s history prior to her […]

Panettiere and Hickerson dated on and off from 2018 to 2020, ultimately breaking up following a domestic violence incident in Wyoming. Hickerson was ultimately sentenced to one year in jail in connection to the incident, which a judge later suspended in exchange for one year of probation.

In May, Panettiere began a book tour to celebrate the release of her This Is Me: A Reckoning memoir. According to two unidentified sources with knowledge of the matter who spoke to The Times, a Barnes & Noble store in New York City was given strict instructions not to allow Hickerson into the venue. Per the outlet’s insiders, Panettiere was accompanied by private security with the alleged intent to keep Hickerson away from her.

“I really thought I had done it and I was capable of doing it by myself,” she said of her relationship with Hickerson on the “On Purpose” podcast weeks earlier, months before her suspected overdose death. “I needed an incredible amount of support and backup in order to make sure that there was no way for him to find his way back in.”

Hayden Panettiere‘s on-off boyfriend Brian Hickerson found himself back in the actress’ life before her shocking death. “Brian was with her at the time of her death,” the source exclusively shared with Us. “He had inserted himself into her life and was surveilling her.” According to a Greenville City Police Department incident report obtained by […]

Hickerson, through an attorney, broke his silence on Panettiere’s death on Thursday, August 20.

“Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Hickerson’s attorney Sloan Ellis told Us in a statement. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”

Panettiere was found dead in South Carolina on August 16, with a local police report claiming that Hickerson was present at the scene with his brother, Zach. Narcan was reportedly used and life-saving measures, including CPR, were made but were ultimately unsuccessful.

“After EMS officially declared Hayden deceased, I escorted Zach [Hickerson] and Brian out of the apartment,” a police report obtained by Us read, referring to Brian’s brother. “I observed Zach to be very emotional while EMS were working on Hayden. Brian did not become emotional until EMS declared her officially deceased.”

The name of the mortuary was not disclosed. […]

A cause of death has not yet been revealed at the time of publication. In the wake of Panettiere’s death, Zach — who once dated the Ice Princess actress — claimed he and his brother tried to save the Heroes star’s life.

“When we went in and tried to wake Hayden up for lunch, we realized she was unconscious,” he claimed to TMZ on Friday, August 21. “I immediately called 911, and Brian gave her Narcan. We then jointly performed CPR while 911 was on speaker until Fire and EMS arrived. At that point, we watched as they tried every measure possible to save her life.”

Panettiere’s estranged mother, Lesley Vogel, refuted the brothers’ claims, telling the Daily Mail in a Saturday, August 22, interview that she believes Brian is “culpable” for her daughter’s death.

Us has reached out to Brian multiple times for comment on various claims, including allegations he was banned from Panettiere’s mother’s claims and allegations he was banned from her book tour, but have not heard back.

Melania Trump joined her husband, President Donald Trump, at the Freedom 250 Grand Prix amid ongoing scrutiny about his relationship with White House aide Natalie Harp.

Melania, 56, and Donald, 80, were both present at the Washington, D.C. racetrack on Sunday, August 23, as part of the United States’ official 250th anniversary celebrations. The outing marked the first lady’s first public appearance in 32 days.

“It’s incredible day, and I think everybody did [an] amazing job,” Melania gushed to Fox News on Sunday, remarking how local officials transformed D.C. streets into a Formula 1-caliber racetrack. “It is wonderful to have them here, very exciting [and] people looking forward to this incredible event.”

Melania’s rare appearance comes days after Harp, the president’s executive assistant, raised eyebrows for their oddly close working relationship.

“I want things to always be right between us,” Harp, 34, allegedly wrote to Donald in a 2023 letter recently obtained by The Daily Beast. “I also know I’ve been distracted all week (forgetting to eat throughout the days, and even forgetting to sleep, and only catching a couple hours at a time).”

“Natalie Harp is one of the most loyal and hardest-working aides on President Trump’s team,” White House spokesperson Davis Ingle said in a statement to The Daily Beast, defending the now-controversial aide. “The media should get back to reporting real news and stop regurgitating Trump-Deranged liberal talking points.”

Harp’s brother later criticized her allegedly “unhealthy obsession” with Donald. Neither Donald, Melania nor Harp have addressed the speculation. Us has reached out to the White House for comment.

During her rare public outing, Melania and her husband were able to meet the Grand Prix drivers before taking a seat in a car themselves on Sunday.

“It was exciting, of course,” she said, adding that she “loved every minute of” being on the course. “When I was growing up, my father introduced me to races and to race cars, and he owned some incredible cars — [including] a Maserati, Cougar, Mustang, Mercedes. He introduced me to the design of cars, and the mechanics, and also the speed.”

And it’s very important, because we need to support them,” Melania told Fox of the program. “They need to have the same opportunities as other children, and I’m very proud to say that we had the first doctor graduating, and we now have 26 universities all around the country that have foster students. I encourage every governor in every state to sign and support foster children.”

Anna Faris‘ candid comments about navigating political differences with her teenage son are drawing a wave of support online. While many have applauded her parenting approach, others are turning their attention to Chris Pratt and questioning whether his beliefs helped shape the teen’s views. A separate group of commenters has come to Jack’s defense, however, praising his Christian faith and rejecting the idea that his beliefs should be treated as a problem.

Anna Faris is getting plenty of support for how she is navigating political and religious differences with her 14-year-old son, Jack.

After the actress opened up about challenging some of the teenager’s conservative views, users on Reddit have been praising her for encouraging him to question his beliefs rather than simply shutting him down.

“Kids need to be taught how to think, not what to think,” one person wrote, while another described Faris’ approach as “tactful and reasonable.” Her question to Jack about whether being pro-life was a “luxury” also earned considerable praise.

Much of the criticism instead landed on Jack’s father, Chris Pratt. Faris shares her only child with the “Guardians of the Galaxy” star, and numerous commenters speculated that Pratt’s religious beliefs may have influenced their son.

Others cautioned against writing Jack off at such a young age. Several users recalled holding conservative or religious views as teenagers before changing their outlook later in life. Some also worried about Faris discussing the matter publicly. A small number of commenters argued that Jack’s personal beliefs should remain private while he is still a minor.

Some Fans See Nothing Wrong With Jack’s Faith

The reaction elsewhere online was far less dismissive of Jack’s faith. Several YouTube commenters celebrated the teenager’s Christian beliefs, with one simply declaring, “Her son is amazing.” Another praised Faris for supporting Jack in his “pursuit of God and religion as a whole.”

Others went further by rejecting the suggestion that his faith should be viewed as a problem. One commenter insisted Jack is not merely “religious,” but has a relationship with Jesus, while another wrote, “God bless her son,” and expressed hope that Faris would eventually embrace Christianity herself.

Pratt also found some support. One person credited both parents, writing, “Chris is doing such a great job. And so is Anna.”

Another Christian commenter found common ground with Faris’ approach, arguing that faith is healthiest when beliefs can be questioned through thoughtful conversation.

Anna Faris Weighed In On Raising ‘Religious’ Son

During an appearance on Thursday’s episode of Chelsea Handler’s podcast, “Dear Chelsea,” the 49-year-old actress was asked about what’s going on at home and her parenting.

Describing her son as one who’s emotionally “solid as a tugboat,” Faris praised him for the way he handles situations well, but uncomfortably added a major caveat: “He is… religious.”

Handler then asked if she was religious, and Faris replied, “No, I didn’t grow up with religion,” per HuffPost.

Faris Spoke On How She Challenges Him To Really Inspect His Beliefs

The “House Bunny” star then shared that Jack recently asked her to accept Jesus Christ as her savior, and while she’s willing to do it for him, it’ll take more than him merely asking.

“I told him I would do anything for him, including this, but it’s gonna take a whole lot of long conversations,” she said.

Those conversations, Faris explained, often involve challenging right-wing political views sometimes associated with certain factions of modern Christianity.

She actively prompts Jack to think critically about nuanced political and social issues rather than blindly accepting dogma, adding that he’s always “impressive” with his response.

“I try to challenge him,” Faris told Handler. “I’m like, ‘Do you think it’s a luxury that you get to be pro-life?’ and he’s like, ‘Maybe.’”

Faris went further, citing other examples of right-leaning views mostly attributed to Jack’s religion. She recounted asking him for his thoughts on “grifter” mega-pastors, to which Jack agreed that they “are the worst.”

“So it’s like, OK… we’re getting there,” Faris laughed, sounding slightly exasperated but proud.

Ultimately, the actress said she’s grateful her son is open to examining his own beliefs and recognizing hypocrisy within organized religion. “I’m appreciative we can have these long conversations,” she noted.

Bradley Carter is opening up about the dynamic between Leva Bonaparte and the Southern Hospitality cast.

“I think, from my experience, sometimes when you are growing, there are some growing pains and you can run into some people that are supportive, and maybe some people that aren’t so supportive,” Bradley, 29, exclusively told Us at his “Body by Brad” Keep It Moving workout tour on Saturday, August 22.

He continued, “I’ve never had an experience where Leva didn’t support me, but sometimes people have their priorities, and they’re just a little bit different than theirs, so. I think you will see all of that play out if we go into another season of Southern Hospitality.”

Leva, 47, became a fixture on Southern Charm spinoff Southern Hospitality in 2022, with the series following the staff of her Republic Garden & Lounge nightclub — including Bradley. The future of Southern Hospitality has since been up in the air amid rumors that the cast could be facing a shakeup, which could exclude Leva and her Charleston, South Carolina, nightclub.

While remaining tight-lipped about the future, Bradley told Us that fans should be “hopeful” about seeing a potential season 5 — one day.

“I think we should be hopeful,” he said. “I can say that. I definitely think we should be hopeful. I think that there’s a lot more going on than you guys know. I cannot confirm season 5, but I’m not going to say that it’s off the table.”

He continued, “We have a lot going on in Charleston, and hopefully you guys can smell this.”

Bradley shared that the cameras have “not been rolling,” but the group’s vibe is “in a better place” than where the cast was previously.

Just because Vanderpump Rules is revamping doesn’t mean reality TV viewers should stop raising their glasses high. While viewers spent 11 seasons watching Scheana Shay, Katie Maloney, Tom Schwartz and more cast members transform from restaurant workers at SUR to reality TV royalty, Bravo recently confirmed season 12 will feature a brand-new cast from Lisa Vanderpump’s […]

“I feel like the cast is coming together. Some people are still on the outside and some are on the inside. Hopefully we get a season 5 so you can find out,” he said.

For now, Bradley is enjoying kicking off the Keep It Moving tour at The Point in El Segundo, California.

“This is my passion. Working out to me is more than just a hobby. It’s truly a lifestyle, and for the Keep It Moving Tour, I wanted to bring something that I love and just pour it into other people,” he told Us. “So the workout itself is beginner friendly. It’s only 30 minutes long. Afterwards, we have a DJ, we hang out, we have a good time, we have some drinks, enjoy ourselves. Two of my favorite things to do: eat, drink. I guess the third would be working out. I like to bring all those together, bring people together, and create a nice event.”
