Ariana Grande Pulls Out Of ‘American Horror Story’
Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated debut in the “American Horror Story” universe has been put on hold due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour.”
Grande is no newcomer to major Hollywood franchises, having starred in Universal Pictures’ two-part “Wicked” film series, but a source claims she is now “being extremely picky” about her next movie role.
The singer also recently made an “unfortunate” announcement, revealing that she had to reschedule several tour dates due to production issues.
Ariana Grande will no longer appear in FX’s “American Horror Story” Season 13, which premieres on September 24.
The “Thank U, Next” singer was initially announced as a cast member in October and would have joined familiar faces including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, John Waters, Frances Conroy, and Leslie Grossman.
However, sources confirmed that the pop superstar has had to withdraw from the upcoming season due to production schedule changes that conflict with her ongoing “Eternal Sunshine Tour,” per Deadline.
It is understood that she had not yet filmed any scenes for the season. While the focus of Season 13 has been kept under wraps, reports claim that John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari, and Matt Fraser will reprise characters they previously portrayed in the anthology series.
Grande Had Teased A Tiny ‘AHS’ Role
Grande’s appearance would have marked a major reunion with series creator Ryan Murphy after they worked together on the 2015 FOX comedy-horror series “Scream Queens,” where she famously played the ill-fated sorority sister Chanel #2.
It remains unclear what her role would have been, but she previously hinted that it would be brief, telling Variety last fall that she would likely have a “very tiny thing” to do while expressing gratitude for the opportunity to join the franchise.
“I know a little tiny bit [about the role], but what I know I can’t say,” she said. “I’ll probably have a very tiny thing to do in it, but I’ll be grateful to be a part of it because I love everyone involved.”
Ariana Grande Becomes More Selective In Hollywood
Grande has continued to build her acting career since her days as a child star on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” where she played Cat Valentine.
She later focused on music, earning multiple Grammy Awards before landing a major role in the “Wicked” film franchise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2025.
A source told Life & Style Magazine that following her success with “Wicked,” Grande has received more movie offers but has become highly selective. “Arianna doesn’t need praise or her face on billboards all over town constantly,” a source close to her business team said. “It’s not about ego for her, and everybody knows she’s not dipping her toe into movies because she needs the money.”
“She’s being extremely picky about filmmakers, and she’s quality-controlling everything she can when she commits to a project,” the insider added.
Grande Wants Every Movie To Stand Out
The insider went on to explain that Grande has no interest in making multiple movies each year simply for the paycheck, adding that money is no longer a driving force in her career.
“You’re not going to see her making three or four movies a year just because she can,” the source continued, adding that the pop star “wants every film she agrees to make to be special and singular, and that can mean saying ‘no’ to a lot of pretty tempting offers.”
The source also claimed that Grande is mindful of “overexposure,” but said her years in the spotlight have taught her when to “put her head down, duck out of sight and focus on the work.”
“This gives her a key advantage over other stars in her age bracket,” the insider noted, adding that Grande also knows “she’s in a class by herself” and was highly motivated to earn another Oscar nomination.
Ariana Grande Reschedules Tour Dates
In the coming months, Grande remains busy with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour” and recently announced changes to three scheduled shows.
She revealed that her July 12 concert at New York’s Barclays Center would move to July 14. She also rescheduled two Boston performances at TD Garden, originally set for July 22 and July 24, to July 23 and July 26, respectively.
According to Page Six, Grande explained in an Instagram Story that the changes were necessary due to production issues and to ensure fans receive the full experience, “delivered safely and as intended.”
“We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes,” she wrote. “This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.”
“The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run,” she continued. “Thank you so much for your understanding, and I cannot wait to see you.”

Ariana Grande and Ricky Alvarez are boyfriend and girlfriend once again, ten years after they broke it off.
Following a recent performance in New York City, the pop star ignited major internet speculation about rebounding with her ex after calling it quits with her former partner, Ethan Slater, just months ago.
However, close sources confirm it is more than a flirty reunion between the singer and Alvarez.
After weeks of hanging out together, Grande and Alvarez are said to be now official. An insider confirmed the romantic update, saying the two are ready to try again after years apart.
The source explained that the lovebirds are, however, not rushing to make things serious, as they are focused on taking it slow.
The news, confirmed by TMZ, comes after Grande strongly hinted at a potential romantic reunion with Alvarez, after modifying the lyrics to her hit song during a high-profile concert stop in New York City.
While taking the stage at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Monday, the 33-year-old vocalist adjusted the phrasing of her 2018 record “Thank U, Next” to suggest a rekindled connection. In the original track, the lyrics read, “Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh.”
However, during her recent performance in front of a packed stadium, the singer boldly vocalized the updated phrase to sing, “Wrote some songs about Ricky, we always find our way back.”
A video recording capturing the moment quickly went viral, showing the massive arena audience singing along to the verses honoring her high-profile ex-partners. The audience immediately erupted into deafening screams the moment she delivered the revised line about Alvarez.
Though the two individuals originally went their separate ways in 2016 after a year-long relationship, they have continuously maintained a highly supportive and close friendship.
Ariana Grande Was Recently Spotted With Ricky Alvarez
Grande’s recent performance follows a highly publicized holiday sighting that initially sparked more conversations about her relationship status.
The Blast reported that over the Fourth of July holiday weekend, onlookers spotted the singer and Alvarez spending quality time together during a casual outing.
They appeared relaxed and comfortable in each other’s presence as they completed a quick grocery run at a Whole Foods store.
Grande opted for a comfortable wardrobe, wearing a simple grey sweater paired with denim pants and flat shoes, while her companion selected a classic white polo shirt and dark denim pants. According to reports, the long-time acquaintances were traveling together to Grande’s family’s private residence in Boca Raton to celebrate the holiday.
Ariana Grande & Ethan Slater Broke Up Months Ago
Before fueling dating speculation with her past flame, Grande quietly ended her high-profile relationship with her “Wicked” costar, Slater.
At the time of their separation, close sources alleged that the romance had been highly turbulent for a long time. When rumors of a breakup began circulating in late 2025, those in the singer’s inner circle expressed doubts about the relationship’s longevity.
According to The Blast, one source expressed skepticism about their relationship, saying, “If I had to look into my crystal ball, would I think they would stay together? No.”
The Singer Seems To Have A Recurring Romantic Trend
While the sudden end of Grande’s relationship with Slater caught many onlookers off guard, those in the her closest circles viewed the development as part of a highly familiar cycle.
Insiders claimed that the pop star’s romantic history reflects a very specific personal pattern that tends to repeat itself during major transitions in her career. According to individuals close to the situation, Grande has historically struggled to balance personal connections with the demands of her professional commitments.
“Ariana and relationships have always been a bit of a complicated mix. She tends to fall hard and fast, and when she does, it’s all-consuming,” a source revealed, as reported by The Blast.
However, despite the split with Slater, additional sources emphasized that the decision to part ways was mutual and friendly, with both individuals remaining highly supportive of each other’s future endeavors.
Ariana Grande Allegedly Reached Out To Her Lookalike
Amid navigating breakups, makeups, and her highly successful career, Grande has also had to navigate being idolized by fans online. This became evident in a recent interaction between Grande and her popular lookalike, Paige Niemann.
Niemann, who rose to digital fame due to her uncanny physical resemblance to Grande, recently shared the contents of a private direct message she claims the singer sent her years ago.
Rather than criticizing the young influencer’s viral videos, the Grammy-winning artist used the private note to encourage Niemann to find confidence in her natural appearance, per The Blast.
The message from the singer read: “I am flattered and I am sure you’re very sweet. But I just wanted you to know, I looked back a little ways on your page, and I think someone should tell you, if they haven’t today that you’re very beautiful as YOURSELF.”
The message continued by gently advising the influencer that she did not need to alter her features or style to find validation online, adding that she was gorgeous without “all the makeup.”
The approval ratings for Meghan Markle‘s new gig seem to be starting on a low note!
The Duchess of Sussex is scheduled to make her debut on “MasterChef Australia” as an expert on food knowledge to help give the show a much-needed touch following her kitchen reputation.
Meghan Markle is not a stranger to making meals and sharing recipes, thanks to her Netflix lifestyle show “With Love, Meghan” where she discusses recipes and offers practical tips on homemaking, gardening and cooking with her celebrity pals.
The mother-of-three has been unveiled to occupy the seat on Sunday, July 26, where she is promised to bring her love for “food, entertaining and seasonal produce” to what is promised to be one of the competition’s most challenging seasons.
While Meghan’s announcement as guest judge on the show may be proof of her prowess as the kitchen maestro, some Instagram users are not close to impressed about the development. A commenter wrote: “Thanks for reminding me not to watch.”
Another Instagram user expressed their relief that the show will not be aired in the United States, as one more commenter firmly declared that they will not be watching the show.
“Won’t watch,” “No Thanks” were the two accompanying comments to convey the thoughts of the show’s fans less interested in having Meghan pop up on their screens.
The Duchess Of Sussex Is Doing It All For The Love Of Australia
As shared on Paramount’s website, the Duchess is promised to set a challenge for the cooks to create memorable dishes which celebrate seasonal ingredients woven into personal stories.
The website acknowledged that Meghan had proven her expertise via her lifestyle show on Netflix and the launch of her best-selling lifestyle brand heavily inspired by cooking, entertaining and gift-giving.
Answering the question about what convinced her to join the team on “MasterChef Australia”, the mother-of-two declared: “Two things: my love of food and my love of Australia. It was an easy yes. It’s such a great show. I’m just really honored that I was asked to be able to be here with you and to be able to judge some of these meals.”
The Netflix star will be joined by judges Poh Ling Yeow, Sofia Levin and Jean-Christophe Novelli. Meghan will be bringing several elements of nostalgia from her personal collection of seasonal ingredients to the show.
What Meghan Markle Will Expect From Cooks On ‘MasterChef AU’
The Duchess of Sussex will be tasking the skilled hands in the kitchen with creating a dish fit for royalty and will contain ingredients like carrots, Jerusalem artichokes, Brussels sprouts, and celeriac.
The cooks will also infuse local Australian honey, macadamia nuts, quince, lemons, apples, mandarins, and strawberries into their dish alongside evoking personal stories about them.
Explaining her vision and mission further, Meghan stated: “I’d love it if there’s a connection that you can find when, as you’re cooking something, what is the story behind it?… What is something from your family or from a memory…something sentimental that we can also taste as we taste your dish.”
Meghan’s name will appear up there among famous faces in the cooking industry like Rick Stein, Curtis Stone and Maggie Beer, to food enthusiasts like Jimmy and Jane Barnes and Robert Irwin. Meghan will ultimately decide which of the cooks will move closer to the MasterChef Australia 2026 title next Sunday.
The ‘As Ever’ Founder Was Haunted With Allegations Of Plagiarism Over Canceled 2022 Show
Four years ago, Netflix released a statement that “Pearl”, a proposed animated series pushed by Meghan, had been canceled as part of their plan to cut back on producing animated projects.
As noted by PEOPLE, a British author, Mel Elliot, came forward last year with claims that Meghan may have lifted the idea of her project from her book series “Pearl Power.”
Elliot’s and Meghan’s story did carry central themes of female empowerment and equity. The former revealed that she had begun planning to turn her children’s book into an animated series as far back as 2018.
Describing Meghan as a feminist who always sticks up for women, Elliot admitted that she was very disappointed to learn about a similar project from the Duchess’s stables. Elliot continued that someone on Meghan’s team could have come across the idea and pitched it to them, but her letters to seek clarification went unanswered.
The author was, however, pleased to learn that Netflix shelved Meghan’s idea, which would give her the chance to continue her project.
Meghan Markle Tagged The Anomaly In The Monarchy She Married Into
When the former actress sealed the deal with Prince Harry in 2018, it was a beautiful blend of different worlds with a promising future for the image of the monarchy. The Blast stated that as time progressed, it sadly became apparent that the “Suits” star was struggling to find her place among the royal family.
“Divide and Rule” author Catherine Mayer pointed out one of the biggest signs of Meghan’s hardships was the life she had built for herself before meeting Harry, which did not align with the traditional requirements of the monarchy.
The former actress had even declared after her engagement to Harry that nothing would change about her lifestyle. Meghan’s Californian background of public vulnerability, intense culture of being expressive, and pursuing ambition carried a sharp contrast to the lifestyle in Britain.
Altogether, Meghan’s inability to fulfill the requirements of the royal household while sticking to her true nature may have led to a face-off with the press and her eventual exit from the United Kingdom to California.
For Meghan Markle, the show will carry on; will her performance change the minds of her critics?
Long before social media turned celebrities into memes, Chuck Norris became the subject of one of the internet’s most enduring phenomena. The action star, martial artist, and “Walker, Texas Ranger” icon inspired thousands of “Chuck Norris Facts” jokes that portrayed him as an almost superhuman figure capable of impossible feats. While the jokes became a cultural sensation, Chuck Norris himself initially assumed the trend would be short-lived.
The Blast attended a press conference hosted by Raising Cane’s in Cypress, Texas, where Chuck Norris’ widow, Gena O’Kelley, joined founder Todd Graves and the couple’s children, Danilee and Dakota Norris, to celebrate a new campaign benefiting Kickstart Kids ahead of National Chicken Finger Day on July 27.
During the event, O’Kelley opened up about how Norris first reacted to the viral jokes and revealed why he eventually came to appreciate the phenomenon that introduced him to an entirely new generation of fans. According to O’Kelley, the family first encountered the now-famous “Chuck Norris Facts” during the early days of the internet.
Like many people, Norris found the jokes amusing. But he never imagined they would become part of popular culture for decades. “When the Chuck Norris Facts first came out back in the early 2000s, he kind of laughed,” O’Kelley recalled.
She said one of the first jokes they encountered claimed that Mount Rushmore was too small to properly feature Norris. “The first one that we got was they wanted to put Chuck Norris on Mount Rushmore, but the granite wasn’t hard enough for his beard,” she said.
The joke made him laugh, but Norris remained convinced the trend would quickly disappear. “He goes, ‘Oh, those will be gone in about six months.’” Instead, the opposite happened.
The ‘Chuck Norris Facts’ Became A Global Phenomenon
More than two decades later, the jokes continue to circulate online, making Norris one of the earliest celebrities to achieve true viral internet fame. The exaggerated one-liners transformed Norris from a beloved action star into a larger-than-life cultural icon whose name became synonymous with toughness, strength, and invincibility. At the press conference, Graves reflected on just how widespread the phenomenon became.
Sharing a story from a family vacation to Iceland, the Raising Cane’s founder recalled discovering Chuck Norris jokes in places he never expected. “We went to Iceland, and in Iceland they had Chuck Norris sayings,” Graves said, adding that some of his personal favorites included classics like, “Chuck Norris can count to infinity twice.”
For Graves, the jokes helped elevate Norris beyond traditional celebrity status. “Chuck became larger than life,” he said.
The Memes Helped Chuck Norris Reach Younger Generations
While many celebrities may have grown tired of being turned into a punchline, O’Kelley said Norris ultimately recognized a deeper benefit. “The greatest blessing from it all is it’s reconnected him with all the young people around the world,” she explained, and as new generations discovered the jokes online, many were introduced to Norris for the first time. Some knew the memes before they knew his movies.
According to O’Kelley, that unexpected connection became one of the most meaningful aspects of the phenomenon. “All these new young generations that come up, they feel like they’ve discovered something that’s superhuman for the first time,” she said.
The jokes may have started as internet humor, but they ultimately helped preserve Norris’ relevance long after many of his most famous films and television appearances had aired.
Chuck Norris Embraced The Joke
Part of what kept the phenomenon alive was Norris’ willingness to laugh along with everyone else. Rather than distancing himself from the jokes, he embraced them. “Chuck had a great sense of humor,” Graves said. “So he embraced it, and that made it even better.”
O’Kelley recalled that Norris even incorporated the jokes into his own work, sharing one of his favorite examples involving a cobra. “When the cobra bit Chuck Norris, after five days of agonizing pain, the cobra died,” she said, laughing.
Rather than taking himself too seriously, Norris understood that the jokes were rooted in admiration for the image he had spent decades building through martial arts, film, and television.
The Legacy Lives On Beyond The Memes
Although Norris died in 2026 at age 86, his family says the larger-than-life persona created by the “Chuck Norris Facts” continues to introduce people to his story. For O’Kelley, however, the most important part of his legacy isn’t the jokes themselves but what they ultimately led people to discover.
Beyond the punchlines was a man dedicated to faith, family, service, and helping young people through Kickstart Kids, the youth development organization he founded more than three decades ago.
The viral memes may have portrayed Norris as indestructible, but according to those closest to him, their greatest impact was connecting millions of people to the values he spent his life promoting. And more than 20 years after he predicted the jokes would disappear, the legend of Chuck Norris shows no signs of fading away.

Igor Ten Reflects On Blended Family & Healthy Co-Parenting

He added that putting the children first and setting aside ego helps create a loving environment that benefits future generations together.
Later that month, the blended family came together to celebrate Father’s Day, marking Igor’s very first Father’s Day as an expectant dad. Reflecting on the milestone, Igor said fatherhood is about love, presence, and showing up every day while putting children above everything.
He also praised Austin McBroom for choosing respect over ego and thanked Catherine, the kids, Austin, and their growing family. Austin later returned the love by commenting, “Happy Father’s Day, my man.”

What Do You Think Roomies?
Bold and the Beautiful showrunner Brad Bell recently did an interview and leaked a spoilery tidbit that we’re getting a murder mystery on B&B. That sounds kind of bizarre because it’s a fashion-led soap and they usually don’t do murderous stuff, especially with Luna Nozawa gone and Sheila Carter reformed.
We’re going to share with you what Brad Bell said and who might be the victim of this leaked murder mystery plot if it manifests.
Bold and the Beautiful: Brad Bell’s Murder Mystery Tease
So recently, Bold and the Beautiful showrunner Brad Bell appeared on Rebecca Budig and Greg Rikaart’s podcast. So Rebecca currently plays Taylor Hayes on B&B and Greg Rikaart is on Days of Our Lives as Leo Stark, but he was also on Y&R as Kevin Fischer for a long time. Rebecca Budig said one of the things that she loves about acting on a soap is that they get to do a little bit of everything.
And she talked about laughing and crying and anger. And Brad Bell agreed and said, “You’re doing a murder mystery now and then something campy and ridiculous.” So, the big question is, were Rebecca Budig and Brad Bell talking about a real plot they’re doing now or was he just rattling off examples? I mean, it really caught my ear and it sounds kind of fun.
B&B Drops Huge Hint!
So, we are going to talk about what kind of murder mystery that B&B might do if they are doing it. Plus, the day before Brad Bell’s appearance on the CBS sponsored podcast that Rebecca Budig hosts, the B&B Instagram account dropped a murderous tidbit as well.
We’re going to show you a couple of scenes from this little Insta video they did. It showed Sheila Carter actress Kimberlin Brown jogging up some stairs and flipping through a script looking at what’s next for Sheila. And then she poured a martini and then she was really smirking. So, the words across the screen read Kimberlin warming up to kill in her scenes with kill in all caps and the caption on the post was don’t say we didn’t warn you.
So yeah, maybe we are getting something murderous. I mean it’s been a minute since they’ve had this sort of drama. The last time they killed off somebody was homeless Tom and bartender Hollis. And the main murder mystery of course was about Tom. And it turned out that Luna did it. But this time, we might get somebody else doing murder stuff. I mean, it would be stunning if they killed off a main character. Tom was a disposable character that they brought in specifically to kill off. And Hollis was a glorified extra. He was killed off, too. But never say never.
Bold and Beautiful: Who Could Die in a Murder Mystery?
Let’s talk about who could die. Now, first off, Brad Bell said something happens in Monaco that is life-changing. That was in a different interview. And those Monaco episodes kick off on July 29th. We know Sheila is stalking Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) and Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) follows them to Monaco. And with that and the hint about killing in her scenes, Sheila might be involved because murder certainly is life-changing. If Brad Bell was dropping a real hint, then Sheila being involved makes absolute sense. She’s very upset about losing Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan) to Taylor and Sheila’s desperate to be back in Finn’s life, but he told her Steffy will never agree.
So, one possibility is that Sheila stages her own death and frames Taylor. Now, we’ve seen Sheila claim that she’s changed and people are starting to believe it. Finn, actually, Taylor and Deacon, but that doesn’t mean it’s true. And if Sheila can’t have Deacon and can’t have Finn in her life, then she may want to punish Taylor for stealing her husband and punish others. So, Sheila faking her death would actually punish Taylor and Steffy and Deacon because Taylor would lose her freedom. Steffy would lose her mom and Deacon would lose his companion.
B&B: Sheila Fakes her Own Death?
And then Sheila could go off and start a new life somewhere new, knowing that she’s left chaos behind her. And let’s face it, Sheila has already faked her death several times, so it wouldn’t be something new. Now, related to that, she might want a different kind of payback. She might fake Taylor’s death instead of her own.
Maybe you remember, if you were watching back then, it was in the Hunter Tylo days. I think it was 1994, but Taylor was presumed dead in a plane crash and she had amnesia and Prince Omar saw Taylor, thought she was beautiful, hid her away at his palace and then Omar fell in love with her. And that wasn’t her only presumed death involving Omar. Because in 2002, Taylor was again presumed dead. That was when Sheila shot both Taylor and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).
And Omar stole Taylor away and had a dummy buried in her coffin. And that time she was gone for three years until Taylor was revealed to be alive in like I think 2005. So, Sheila could contact Prince Omar and tell him he should come snatch Taylor again and Sheila could work with Omar to stage a death scene to get rid of Taylor.
That way Omar gets Taylor and Sheila might get Deacon back if Taylor is dead and gone. But in any murder investigation with Taylor as the victim, Sheila would be a top suspect. However, if she was with Deacon at the time or somewhere public with lots of witnesses, then Sheila would have an airtight alibi and could get away with it. I mean, it’s not unbelievable that B&B would sideline Taylor or repeat this plot.
Bold and the Beautiful: RJ Needs to Go!
Now, speaking of killing off front burner characters, I think top on the list of ones that fans would like to see the subject of a murder mystery is R.J. Forrester (Brayan Nicoletti). He is so unbelievably annoying that fans might cheer if he was off. But if something happened to Ridge Forrester‘s (Thorsten Kaye) son, of course, Will Spencer (Crew Morrow) would be the top suspect, especially since Ridge has been going on and on about how violent and dangerous Will is.
So, if something happened to his precious R.J., you bet. Ridge would point the finger at Will. And of course, R.J. dying would make the Spencer and Forrester feud explode. Now, I don’t think Will would kill R.J. ever. But something might happen where it appears that Will hurt R.J. and it’s just bad timing and assumptions and then, you know, Ridge Jr. turns up alive. But that’s fine, too.
Remy Killed Off B&B?
Another person who’s pretty disposable on Bold and the Beautiful at this point is Remy. I could definitely see him getting killed off. Everybody hates Deke’s (Harrison Cone) ex for those deep fakes he made to torment Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace). But the only bad thing is Remy might set up his own death, fake it, and try to frame Deke to punish him for refusing to get back with him. One of those, if you can’t be with me, you can’t be with anybody scenarios.
Bold and the Beautiful: Miss Dylan Murdered?
Now, one last person I could see in a murder mystery is Miss Dylan (Sydney Bullock). She’s getting close to Will again now that Electra confirmed to Dylan she cannot be with Will because of Ridge’s insane and inappropriate ultimatum. But if something happened to Dylan after she got back with Will, Electra could be a suspect, especially if she threatens Dylan that she needs to stay away from Will and somebody overhears it.
However, I don’t think Electra would ever physically harm Dylan, but a not so dead Luna would totally do it. That would be a really fun twist. She could stage a murder scene and either really kill Dylan or make it look like she’s been killed and then Luna plants evidence to implicate Electra.
Because in Luna’s crazy head, that would leave Will available for her. With Dylan dead or gone and Electra locked up for her murder. That’s perfect. Then Luna can creep up and grab Will for herself. So, we’ll see if this murder mystery manifests or if Brad Bell was just teasing fans. I’d be totally down for it if they take out an annoying character that fans would like to see gone. I think it could be a lot of fun.
The closure of Hudson’s Bay in Canada at the beginning of 2025 signified much more than the end of one of the country’s last major department store chains. It also meant that the retail institution had existed for 355 years and had lived through many challenging times throughout its long history. Despite the popularity of the Hudson’s Bay striped blankets and symbols, the company has become part of the past. Hudson’s Bay ceased being relevant as long ago as 2025.
Now, the story of Hudson’s Bay has become relevant again due to its representation in the Netflix series Frontier, which is more than just a story of bloodshed and wilderness. You will have the opportunity to learn more about the establishment of the Hudson’s Bay Company and the troubles it faced for a long time before the chain became popular, thus becoming the story of how one of the oldest companies in the USA started.
‘Frontier’ Reveals the Violent Origins of the Hudson’s Bay Company
Long before Canadians associated Hudson’s Bay with cosmetics counters, holiday window displays, and striped blankets, it was one of the most powerful commercial enterprises in North America. Founded in 1670, the Hudson’s Bay Company controlled enormous swaths of land and dominated the fur trade, wielding economic influence that often blurred the line between business and government.
Set during the late 18th century, the three-season series follows Declan Harp (Jason Momoa), a half-Irish, half-Cree outlaw determined to dismantle the company’s grip on the lucrative fur trade. Standing in his way is the ruthless Lord Benton, whose brutal tactics represent a corporation willing to use violence and intimidation to protect its monopoly.
Rather than treating the Hudson’s Bay Company as little more than historical background, Frontier makes it the driving force behind nearly every conflict. Alliances shift, fortunes change, and entire communities are caught between rival traders competing for control of what was once one of the world’s most valuable commodities.
Jason Momoa Anchors One of Netflix’s Most Underrated Historical Dramas
We can easily forget that Frontier was released during a period when television became fascinated with heroes who are not so virtuous – just like shows such as Game of Thrones and Vikings, which made it hard for many other good shows to succeed. Momoa portrays one of his most captivating television roles as Declan Harp – a character who seeks revenge while also wanting to be free from a society that takes advantage of others. Harp is not a conventional hero, and it is very rare for Frontier to classify its characters as good or bad. Practically every character has the same goal in life — the pursuit of power, wealth, or even survival — which complicates interpersonal relationships among the main characters.
The show also benefits from embracing perspectives often sidelined in period dramas. Indigenous characters, in addition to supporting players orbiting European conflicts, are central to the story, with Cree communities and cultures woven into the show’s broader examination of colonial expansion. Rather than reducing history to a straightforward battle between heroes and villains, Frontier presents competing interests, fractured loyalties, and the human cost of empire. Combined with sweeping Canadian landscapes, convincing production design, and plenty of brutal action, the result is a historical drama that feels more ambitious than its relatively modest reputation suggests.
Hudson’s Bay’s Collapse Gives Frontier an Entirely New Perspective
When Frontier debuted in 2016, the Hudson’s Bay Company was still a functioning retailer with hundreds of years of history behind it. Viewers could watch the series knowing the corporation eventually evolved from a fur-trading powerhouse into the department store many grew up shopping at. Today, the stores are gone. Former flagship locations are being redeveloped, shopping centers have found new tenants, and the Hudson’s Bay name exists largely as intellectual property after being acquired by Canadian Tire. The company itself no longer operates the business that defined generations of Canadians’ retail experience.
Watching Frontier now creates an unusual sense of historical symmetry. The series begins at the height of the company’s influence, when the Hudson’s Bay Company seemed untouchable and capable of shaping the future of an entire region. Modern audiences already know that even institutions with centuries of history eventually reach an endpoint.
What once played primarily as a historical adventure now doubles as the origin story of a company whose remarkable run has finally come to an end. Its battles over commerce, competition, and corporate power no longer point toward an uncertain future — they point toward a conclusion we’ve only recently witnessed. Nearly a decade after it premiered, that’s enough reason to give one of Netflix’s most overlooked historical dramas another look.
The Bachelor alum Courtney Robertson is opening up about her decision to file for divorce from estranged husband Humberto Preciado.
“I really took marriage seriously. I never stepped out on my marriage,” Robertson, 43, claimed on the Saturday, July 11, episode of her “After Reality” podcast. “That was the scary part about getting married. Like, oh my God. I’m just going to be with one guy for the rest of my life.”
In her candid podcast episode, Robertson claimed Preciado, 47, had “inappropriate talk to women.”
“This is not what I signed up for. It was always [that] I was made to be crazy,” she alleged. “I feel the shame and I feel stupid. … I do as much as I can to show up as a wife. It’s not for a lack of trying.”
A slew of breakups rocked the celebrity world throughout 2026, beginning with Bill Hader and Ali Wong in January. In March, NFL quarterback Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, called it quits. News broke in April that The Real Housewives of New York City stars Sai De Silva and her husband, David Craig, […]
Robertson — who shares three children with Preciado — continued, “I can’t speak for him, but he’s like, ‘I’m going to be labeled a cheater.’ I’m like, ‘Well, you should have thought about that sooner.’”
Us Weekly has reached out to Preciado for comment on Robertson’s podcast.
When first announcing her split on Friday, July 10, Robertson — who appeared on season 16 of The Bachelor with Ben Flajnik in 2012 — said she made the decision to split from her husband “after learning information that irreparably damaged the trust in our marriage.”
“This has been one of the hardest seasons of my life, and as I continue to process everything, my focus remains on my three beautiful children,” she said in a statement to People. “They are, and always will be, my highest priority.”
In her latest podcast, Robertson said the split has taken a toll on her physical health, with her hair falling out.
“I’ve lost sight of who I was and my trust has been shattered to the point where I’m in the rebuilding phase,” she claimed. “I don’t want to coexist with anybody. I want to be happy.”
Robertson and Preciado connected via social media in 2019, seven years after her reality TV debut. (Most recently, she appeared on HGTV’s Bachelor Mansion Takeover to renovate the dating series’ iconic backdrop.)

“There was just a level of comfort and connection that I’ve never felt before,” Robertson exclusively told Us in December 2019 when recalling her love story. “I never believed in that feeling of when you know, you know until I met him. Nor have I been with someone that I so clearly wanted to start a family with.”
As a new chapter for Robertson and Preciado begins, the reality star hopes the pair can coparent successfully.
“I believe choosing peace and a healthy, stable environment for my children is the right path forward,” Robertson said when announcing her split. “I remain committed to coparenting with kindness and respect. I kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this next chapter, especially for the sake of our children. I’m grateful for the love and support I’ve received and am taking things one

Rachael Ray has left many fans worried for her after her appearance sparked health concerns in a new cooking video posted on social media.
The celebrity chef has been through a lot over the last couple of years, including the loss of her mom, Elsa, as well as a fire incident that destroyed her home, and an alleged marital issue with her husband, John Cusimano.
Rachael Ray also had to defend herself by revealing the health issue that caused “slurred” speech, which fans bashed her for at the time.
Ray has once again found herself at the center of a social media storm after she shared a new cooking video on Instagram.
In the clip, the 57-year-old culinary star shared instructions to her followers on how to season dishes by “feel,” instead of using any measuring devices.
She encouraged followers to rather stick it out with their palm, noting that the center of the palm, when folded, is “equivalent to about a tablespoon.”
“I think it’s really uptight and stupid to use a bunch of little measuring devices unless you’re baking,” she said, going on to add that measurement-taking when baking is a very “specific art,” but when it comes to other things, the hand will do just fine.
“Your hand is the original measuring spoon,” Ray captioned the post. “When you’re seasoning as you go, don’t overthink it. A little pinch, a little palmful, a little confidence is all you need to cook by feel. Your food will thank you.”
Fans Were Left Alarmed By Her Appearance In The Video
Instead of some fans focusing on the cooking lessons, they turned their attention to Ray’s appearance, with some voicing fears about her physical well-being, while others claimed they couldn’t recognize her.
“I haven’t seen her in so long. I’m genuinely wondering… is she okay?” One user asked, while another wrote, “She is not aging well.”
A third user commented, “She got so old- heavy and weird.” Someone else added, “Wow. Didn’t recognize her. A lot of weight. Hope she gets help.”
Conversely, other fans came to Ray’s defense, urging critics to show basic empathy and decrying harsh online judgment.
“A swift Google search would let y’all know that she has been going through some very stressful events and taken a couple of serious falls. Be kind,” someone else noted.
Another person added, “People, she hasn’t had an easy time lately. Her mom passed away last year. I send her tons of hugs … Ease up on her. You’re beautiful, Rachel, & I love you!!”
Rachael Ray Has Been Through A Lot In The Past Couple Of Years
This isn’t the first time Ray has been dragged into such public scrutiny over her physical state.
Back in 2024, fans raised alarms over her health after she shared a cooking clip at the time, paying tribute to the late Tony Bennett by making his favorite dish, ossobuco. Many claimed her speech sounded “slurred,” but she later clarified that it was due to a “bum wisdom tooth,” per Page Six.
She also sparked concern in July 2025 when she allegedly exhibited “bizarre behavior” at a meet-and-greet and bottle signing event for her new gin. According to the news outlet, she came 20 minutes late for that event, as a source pointed out that she “seemed off” while greeting fans.
During the summer of 2020, she lost her Lake Luzerne home to a fire, and was dealt a major blow in the closing stages of 2025 when she lost her mom, Elsa Scuderi, at the age of 92.
The Popular Chef Shutdown Rumors Of Her Marriage And Health
The “30-Minute Meals” alum has also faced allegations of a troubled marriage with her husband of 20 years, John Cusimano, as well as other business challenges.
In a conversation with AP News back in March, she addressed rumors that her marriage to Cusimano had hit the rocks.
“We’re very volatile people. We’re loud, and then we’re lovey-dovey, and I think we confuse a lot of folks because of that,” she said.
The chef continued, “I have a great marriage. My health is fine. I lift weights every morning, 4 o’clock, you know. I’m doing just fine.”
Rachael Ray Clapped Back At Speculations She ‘Disappeared’ Because Of The Worries Over Her Health
Having moved most of her life to Italy, many pointed out that Ray had “disappeared” in 2025 amid the rising concerns for her health.
However, she clapped back in a conversation with US Weekly, noting that she’s still very much active.
“I don’t know what they’re talking about,” she told the news outlet during the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival’s Burger Bash in New York City that year.
In another chat with the news outlet, Ray shared why she prefers Italy to NYC, saying, “It’s quiet. The dog is much happier. She hates New York City. Bella is not a New Yorker at all. So, for the dog’s sake, I spend as much time [in Italy] as I can.”
Ray added, “She has a swimming pool and 66 hectares to run around on, and everything is very quiet, and the air is very fresh, and we have huge gardens and a vineyard and olive trees, and I just prefer that life.”
UFC superstar Conor McGregor is revealing the next steps in his mixed martial arts career following his shocking 69-second loss to Max Holloway at UFC 329 on Saturday, July 11.
“Surgery. Prehab. Return to martial arts practice. Go again. Final fight of the contract. Please God!” McGregor, 38, shared via Instagram on Monday, July 13.
McGregor’s comeback dreams hanging on his fight against Holloway, 34, were cut short when McGregor suffered a leg injury just over a minute into the bout.
“My faith is unconditional and I am thankful I get to prove it!” McGregor wrote. “My lifestyle changes are permanent and not just until. I am thankful I get to prove it.”
Conor McGregor was a no-show at the Marquee Nightclub at The Cosmopolitan’s UFC afterparty after his shocking fight loss, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. McGregor, 37, was scheduled to emcee the Las Vegas bash hours after his Saturday, July 11, fight against rival Max Holloway during UFC 329. McGregor ultimately lost the match just […]
He added, “I am a child of God. I am a friend of God. God makes a way for me where there seems to be no way. I am not a victim of my circumstances, I overcome them. God is at work in me to will and to work his good pleasure! My youth is being renewed like the eagles! In Jesus I am thoroughly loved, cherished, adored. I walk in divine health. I live under supernatural protection. All things work out for my good! All things are possible for me because I am a believer!”
McGregor has one fight remaining on his UFC contract, though there is no timetable for his return. Holloway has suggested he may be McGregor’s final fight opponent, which would bring an end to their trilogy. McGregor previously defeated Holloway via decision in 2013.
Hours after the loss at UFC 329, McGregor broke his silence on social media.
“I was so sharp and so ready for this fight I cannot believe what has happened,” he wrote via X. “The talk of me being off while walking in to the fight is nonsense. I was calm, ready, and confident. I am in shock what has taken place. The devil is literally staring at me right in front of my face here. I am not engaging. I will be at church tomorrow.”
UFC president Dana White expressed disappointment in the highly-anticipated fight, telling reporters, “I was expecting at least a one-round war.”
“Who knew what Conor was capable of as far as cardio, whatever else, after a five-year layoff, and there you go,” White said of McGregor, who last fought at UFC 264 against Dustin Poirier in July 2021, when he suffered a broken leg during the first round. “We’re assuming a blown ACL. I’m no doctor, but that’s what I figured when I saw it, and doctors think the same thing too.”
McGregor did not specify the exact injury he suffered against Holloway on Saturday, but in revealing he plans on having surgery, UFC fans can rest assured it will be a long time before they see him in the octagon again.
