Meghan Markle is giving fans some insight into the cute nicknames she uses for kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

Meghan referred to her kids as “Lil” and “Arch” in a video posted via the As Ever Instagram account on Sunday, May 24, discussing the brand’s iconic jams.

“Everyone in my family has a different favorite. My husband loves the raspberry,” Meghan, 44, said in the clip. “Lil loves the strawberry. Arch likes both.”

She added, “And I like the marmalade.”

The video’s caption offered more details about the history behind the jams — which started the entire brand.

“Inspired by the jams Meghan has created in her own kitchen and shared over the years, each spread reflects a small-batch, carefully balanced approach to flavor,” the caption read. “Bright and fruit-forward with just a hint of tartness and a whisper of lemon, these spreads are crafted to highlight each fruit’s natural essence without overpowering it.”

Sunday’s Instagram post is hardly the first time Meghan has offered details into her kids’ lives as they have grown older.

Earlier this month, the Duchess of Sussex shared an inside look into their family’s trip to Disneyland.

She posted a series of images via Instagram on May 13, captioning the carousel with a red heart emoji. The first image showed Meghan standing alongside her mother, Doria Ragland.

Archie, 7, and Lilibet, 4, also appeared in other images, wearing Mickey Mouse ears. The kids met several characters at the theme park and Lili even got a chance to hug Cinderella.

One photo showed Meghan and Harry holding hands with their two kids while walking around the park.

Meghan has offered her insight into her family life with Harry and the kids since welcoming Archie in May 2019. (Harry and Meghan wed in May 2018, and stepped back from the royal family in 2020.)

“That man loves me so much. And, you know, look at what we’ve built,” Meghan gushed during an April 2025 appearance on the “Jamie Kern Lima” podcast. “We’ve built a beautiful life and we have two healthy, beautiful children.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Meghan compared her life to Super Mario Brothers — complimenting her “very, very handsome” husband who has a “beautiful” heart.

“They’re like, ‘Slay the dragon, save the princess,’” she explained. “I’m like, ‘That’s my husband. He’s just out there. Just constantly — he’s just going to do whatever he can to make sure our family is safe and protected and we’re uplifted and still make time for date nights.”

David Letterman is keeping the heat on CBS over its controversial decision to cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”

As The Blast reported, Letterman recently returned to the Ed Sullivan Theater to stand with Colbert, rip CBS’s handling of the cancellation, and join him in a chaotic rooftop stunt. In an even more recent interview, the retired host has doubled down on his position, describing the network’s move as a “huge mistake.”

The situation surrounding Colbert’s firing continues to raise eyebrows as many suspect a twist involving Donald Trump, who shared an AI video mocking the comedian.

Letterman has reacted to Colbert’s firing from CBS, calling the network’s decision a “huge mistake.”

The legendary host headlined the famous late-night show from its inception in 1993 before passing the baton to Colbert in 2015. Ahead of the show’s final taping last week, he said the situation surrounding his successor’s exit marks a loss for American culture.

“Kind of makes me sad,” the 79-year-old funnyman said, per Today. “We always relied on you to read the newspaper in the morning, and at night, you would watch Johnny Carson. And Johnny would give you a perspective whether you agreed with it or not, but it was always funny.”

“And without that, I think we’re losing a valuable perspective. I think it’s very, very important to the American culture,” he continued.

He added elsewhere, “I think it’s too bad that Stephen is gone. I think it’s a huge mistake.”

Letterman And Colbert Trashed CBS In Rooftop Stunt

CBS announced in July 2025 that it was pulling the plug on Colbert’s show due to financial reasons, with reports suggesting it was losing up to $40 million. However, the news raised eyebrows, as it came shortly after the 62-year-old host used his nightly monologue to ruthlessly mock a controversial $16 million legal settlement involving the network’s parent company, Paramount, and Trump.

Despite their shared disappointment at the end of the Colbert “Late Show” era, the final episodes have appeared to take on a more celebratory tone.

In a clip shared on the show’s Instagram page, Letterman joined Colbert on the roof of the historic Ed Sullivan Theater to hurl set furniture, watermelons, and a custom cake off the side of the building toward a giant target featuring the CBS eye logo below.

Before leaving the rooftop, Colbert asked the late-night titan if he had any parting words for the audience. Turning his focus back to network executives, Letterman invoked the iconic sign-off of legendary CBS newsman Edward R. Murrow with a sharp twist: “Good night and good luck, motherf-ckers.”

Trump Keeps Mocking Stephen Colbert After CBS Exit

Amid the fallout, Trump has continued taking jabs at Colbert, making it clear he is thrilled the late-night host is no longer on air.

Following Colbert’s final show, the former real estate mogul took to his Truth Social platform, as well as his official page, to slam the comedian.

“Colbert is finally finished at CBS. Amazing that he lasted so long! No talent, no ratings, no life,” Trump wrote.

“He was like a dead person. You could take any person off of the street, and they would be better than this total jerk. Thank goodness he’s finally gone,” he added. Trump then escalated the mockery by sharing an AI-generated video that depicted him walking up to Colbert, picking him up, and tossing him into a dumpster. The clip then cuts to the president dancing to Village People’s “Y.M.C.A.”

Fans Question Trump’s Priorities After Colbert Jab

However, the president has come under fire for his repeated jabs at Colbert, with many internet users questioning why he focuses on the late-night host rather than national issues.

“Can’t believe he’s running the country. What an embarrassment,” one X user wrote.

“Posting more boomer AI slop instead of fixing our broken f-cked up country. You really are useless,” another person wrote.

“In my total imagination, I would have never thought that an American President would post something so absolutely asinine. Does that make you proud that he is your President?” a third user quizzed.

CBS’s New Host Says He Is Not Replacing Stephen Colbert

Colbert’s show is being replaced by the roundtable comedy talk show “Comics Unleashed with Byron Allen.”

Before Colbert’s firing, Allen’s show aired after his, but the media mogul has now taken over the slot, with CBS saying the move will bring “instant profitability” to the network.

However, Allen made it clear he is not looking to replace Colbert. In an interview with The Guardian, when asked whether he thought he would be able to keep Colbert’s viewers, Allen pushed back on the idea.

“It’s never been – I’m not trying to replace Colbert. I don’t think anybody can replace Colbert. I think he’s phenomenal. I think he’s fantastic,” he said.

“This is a show we’ve been doing for 20 years,” Allen continued. “And there’s nothing like it on TV right now where you have five comedians sitting around with one purpose: making people laugh.”

He added that when the show first started, he set a clear rule for the comics: “No political humor, nothing racist, nothing sexist, nothing antisemitic, nothing homophobic, just be funny.”

Louisa Levy’s Off Campus continues its run at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings this week, winning even more hearts with its “fake” relationship story adapted from Elle Kennedy’s book series. Starring Ella Bright and Belmont Cameli as lead characters Hannah Wells and Garrett Graham, the show has earned acclaim from critics and fans alike, becoming a new genre favorite for many. But in case that’s not quite your cup of tea, the platform still has a ton of other entertaining series you could check out right now. Here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week.

For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.

1

‘Kevin’ (2026)

An adult-animated comedy series, Kevin was created by Aubrey Plaza and Joe Wengert and follows the titular house cat, whose life takes an unexpected turn when his humans break up. Arriving at a local pet rescue in Astoria, Queens, Kevin embarks on a journey of self-discovery with the help of his new, eccentric friends, leading to hilarious situations. Jason Schwartzman leads the star-studded voice cast as Kevin, with Plaza, Whoopi Goldberg, John Waters, Aparna Nancherla, Gil Ozeri, Carey Elwes, Amy Sedaris, and more voicing supporting characters.

Since its premiere on April 20, Kevin has had a mixed but generally favorable critical reception, and while the jokes may not all land on their feet, it’s an entertainingly weird sitcom that gets surprisingly sweet, even though it’s mostly filled with gross-out body humor. The show is not for everyone, but it is an enjoyable watch for pet parents and fans of Aubrey Plaza’s signature style of comedy. Add in the excellent performances by its ensemble voice cast, and you get one of the most engaging (if underrated) new comedies of the year.

2

‘Cross’ (2024–Present)

Adapted from James Patterson’s Alex Cross novels, Cross is a crime thriller series created by Ben Watkins that stars Aldis Hodge as the titular Washington, D.C., detective and forensic psychologist. The series takes an anthology approach, with each season following Cross on a high-profile, politically charged investigation, as well as exploring his personal psychological struggles. The show also features Isaiah Mustafa, Juanita Jennings, Alona Tal, Samantha Walkes, Caleb Elijah, Melody Hurd, and more in other key roles.

The first season of Cross premiered to mixed reviews in 2024, receiving criticism for its predictable narrative, but Season 2, released earlier in 2026, has raised the bar for the series, earning much better reviews and audience acclaim. Anchored by Aldis Hodge’s charismatic lead performance, the series is an enjoyable action show with interesting characters and original cases that capture the spirit of the source material without being a direct adaptation. It’s a great watch for fans of gritty TV crime shows, and easily one of Prime Video’s most underrated action series.

3

‘Gen V’ (2023–2025)

If you’re still reeling from the series finale of The Boys, then you really should check out this hit spin-off show. Developed by Craig Rosenberg, Evan Goldberg, and Eric Kripke, Gen V is set in the same universe as The Boys and follows young adult superheroes studying at the prestigious Godolkin University School of Crimefighting, who find their lives complicated by the secret politics and machinations of the superhero world. The series features an expansive cast that includes Jaz Sinclair, Lizze Broadway, Maddie Phillips, London Thor, Derek Luh, Asa Germann, Shelley Conn, Hamish Linklater, Sean Patrick Thomas, and the late Chance Perdomo in lead roles.

First released in September 2023, Gen V was a hit with critics and fans alike, and it got even more fascinating in its second season, which premiered in September 2025. Though it has since been canceled, the two-season series is a must-watch for The Boys fans, and not just because of its in-universe connections to the parent show. It’s a compelling, character-driven series that combines the franchise’s trademark chaos and gore with an enjoyable New Adult narrative, following the relatable struggles of college-aged adults in the context of a superpowered world.

The Blast caught up with Lisa Barlow of “The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City” at the American Music Awards on May 25. She looked stunning and stylish on the red carpet, and we couldn’t resist asking her a few questions about the new season of “RHOSLC.” The self-described entrepreneur had a lot to say about the new season, a misconception about herself that she wanted to clear up, and her love of Teyana Taylor!

We asked Lisa to dish on the new season, and she didn’t hold back! “Oh my gosh, this new season feels so fresh, so magical,” she said. “I feel like you’re going to get an in-depth view of who we are. I think you’re going to see a different side to all of us. I think a lot of rumors and nastiness are going to get dispelled, and I think you’re going to get a very fresh, new feeling, RHOSLC like never before.”

“It’s very different from the last six years,” she added. “I think it’s going to surprise people.”

Lisa Jokes About Her Viral Plane Incident

We also asked Lisa to name one misconception about her that she wanted to clear up once and for all. “Oh my gosh, there’s so many,” Lisa said with a laugh. “I’ll tell you what’s true. I’m very confident and I love the truth. What’s false is that I’m, like, the source of anything. I’m not the source of anything but myself, and nothing went down on the plane.”

For those who don’t know, she had a viral “diva moment” after losing her first-class seat and was forced to fly in coach a few years ago. The incident sparked a lot of debate across social media and plenty of memes.

There was also another notorious incident that took place on an international return flight with the “RHOSLC” cast. Lisa’s close friend Meredith Marks and returning cast member Britani Bateman got into a fight, which reportedly revolved around a TikTok video regarding Meredith’s husband.

AMA Excitement Is In The Air!

The last question was about the AMAs. We asked her who she was most excited to see, and she had a bunch of names already on the top of her mind! “Oh my gosh, there’s so many people I’m excited to see!” she said, naming Rod Stewart and Teyana Taylor as her two top picks. She also revealed she has her eye on several new artists, like country singer Ella Langley.

We even got to hear a small snippet of her singing Langley’s hit song, “Be Her.” Lisa sang, “She drank wine by the glass, not by the bottle,” and we think that Lisa might have her own singing career ahead of her if she wants one!

Lisa Barlow Has Lots Of Love For Teyana Taylor!

She also went to share a lot of love for Teyana Taylor!

“Teyana Taylor performing is iconic,” she continued. “I’ve loved her, I love watching her be a mom, an entrepreneur, an actress, her acts on stage. I think she’s amazing and so positive and she has such a real light and energy about her that I’m excited to watch Teyana Taylor.”

She went on to say that there are “so many” great artists performing tonight. “I mean, we are surrounded by some of the greats, and I love that it’s bringing the fusion of the past and present together,” she continued. “And it takes us on a trip down memory lane and reminds us how we got here and how sounds has evolved, but it always goes back to the iconic sounds of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, and how they transpire into today’s music.”  

We couldn’t agree more! It seems Lisa Barlow’s taste in music is just as good as her style!

Raymond Cruz will always have one of television’s most instantly recognizable villain faces because of his character, Tuco Salamanca, in Breaking Bad. The wild eyes, the sudden violence, the terrifying switch from funny to fatal was a different vibe. Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul made him unforgettable despite surprisingly little screen time. The other side of his TV career, meanwhile, is just as interesting, and with this show, which came three years before Breaking Bad, Cruz had already built a completely different kind of presence inside one of cable’s most dependable police-procedural universes.

That universe came from The Closer, a TNT hit built around Brenda Leigh Johnson’s (Kyra Sedgwick) ability to crack suspects through confession-heavy interrogation. When the parent show ended, the follow-up, instead of simply copying the same formula with a new lead, shifted the department’s rhythm. The cases still involved murders, high-profile investigations, and LAPD politics, but the new show leaned more into plea deals, cooperation agreements, unit dynamics, and longer serialized arcs.

That spin-off is Major Crimes, and all six seasons will stream free on Pluto TV beginning June 1, 2026. Cruz returns as Detective Julio Sanchez alongside Mary McDonnell​​​​​​, G.W. Bailey, Tony Denison, Michael Paul Chan, Phillip P. Keene, Robert Gossett, Jon Tenney, and Jonathan Del Arco, with Graham Patrick Martin’s Rusty Beck giving the spin-off its most personal long-running thread.

Cruz played Julio Sanchez in Major Crimes for 105 episodes from 2012 to 2018, giving him far more room than his explosive but brief Tuco Salamanca run for three episodes each in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul. After that, his most notable TV project was Nova Vita, the 2021 drama built around powerful men, erased identities, and a secret organization selling second lives. Interestingly, Dean Norris (Breaking Bad) was also a part of that show, alongside Titus Welliver, Raymond Cruz, Michel Gill, and Robert Knepper. Since then, Cruz has not had another comparable series role, and his later credits lean more toward film roles.

Major Crimes will be available to stream for free on Pluto TV starting June 1, 2026. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

The Blast caught up to Jessi Draper of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” and Marciano from “Vanderpump Villa” on the red carpet of the American Music Awards on Monday, May 25. Jessi had a lot to share with The Blast, from one misconception about the reality show that she wanted to clear up on her divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura.

The Blast asked the reality star, “What’s one misconception that you feel fans have about Mormon wives that you would like to clear up?” and Jessi didn’t miss a beat when she replied, “That we’re all drama.”

“You guys see that part of us online on the show, but we actually have so many light-hearted and fun, funny moments as friends, and I wish you saw more of that,” she replied with a laugh.

Jessi Draper Shares More Thoughts On Her Divorce

When asked about how her divorce from Jordan Ngatikaura was going, Jessi replied, “Oh, divorce is divorce,” giving her fans yet another relatable answer!

“I don’t think it’s ever going well, but I do think that the first year is the hardest,” she said. “I’m just hoping to get through like the filing of it, the finalization, all the ups and downs, but I still love and respect my ex.

“Like he’s the father of my children,” she added. “I just hope that it can be that way in the long run.”

Dishing On The New Season Of ‘Mormon Wives’

Admittedly, we know that Jessi can’t say too much about the new season of “The Mormon Wives,” but we asked her for any juicy details that she was willing to spill!

“It’s unlike any season you’ve seen before,” she teased.

“I think the unique thing about this season is you guys saw so many headlines, and now you’re going to see the behind-the-scenes of the headline, how we got there, how it fell apart,” she added. “So I think you guys will be interested.”

We definitely are interested!

Jessi Draper Broke Her Silence On The Divorce In March

On March 25, “The Secret Lives Of Mormon Wives” star appeared on an episode of Call Her Daddy and spoke to host Alex Cooper about her divorce. The episode aired one week after Ngatikaura filed for divorce from Draper on March 19.

She said she realized that things had to end during a relationship with her “energy healer,” who asked her, “Are you safe?”

“I told her everything, and it was the first time I said it out loud, and that was like the moment also that I was like, ‘I have to leave him,’” Jessi said. “She goes, ‘Jessi, this is emotional abuse,’ and … it didn’t click to me until in that moment.”

Admitting “marriage is hard,” she said that she “justified” the issues as “Jordan’s personality.” However, once she heard the term “emotional abuse,” she felt more comfortable opening up to her friends and family about her marriage.

“They were like, ‘Jessi, this isn’t normal.’ It felt like the glass had shattered,” Draper told Cooper.

The Couple Previously Went To Therapy Ahead Of Their Divorce

A week before their divorce, Jessi told PEOPLE magazine that they were still “going to a lot of therapy” to work out their marital issues. “It’s taught us both a lot about how we are as individuals and how we are in a relationship, and it’s just kind of still a work in progress,” she said at the time.

“I just wanted to share that because I know marriage is hard, relationships are hard, and it’s normal to struggle,” she continued. “Even in a good relationship, you’re gonna have ups and downs. So I just think it’s good to show people that it’s worth fighting for, it’s worth working through and it’s something that’s always a work in progress.”

Abbey Romeo from “Love On The Spectrum” made a splash on the blue carpet at the 2026 American Music Awards.

The Blast caught up with the reality TV star as she dished on her life since appearing on the hit show and what she plans to do next with her blossoming career.

The AMA appearance comes after Abbey Romeo opened up about her split from longtime boyfriend, David Isaacman, with whom she remains on good terms.

Abbey looked stunning during her appearance at the AMAs in a sleek, strapless black dress that highlighted her figure, which she accessorized with a silver necklace.

In her chat with The Blast, she got candid about how becoming a reality TV star has impacted her life, sharing that it finally afforded her the ability to travel to “Africa.”

“Being on a reality show has been a dream come true because I finally got to go to Africa and see wild animals in person,” Abbey said, adding that it was the “trip of a lifetime, even though it was too expensive.”

She noted that she “couldn’t afford” going when she was in school, as it cost a lot of money, hinting that that was no longer a problem for her this time around.

The Reality TV Star Is Excited About Her Music: ‘I Hope I Win An Award’

Abbey spoke about what she was looking forward to next in her career, revealing she was excited about her new music, “Right Here Right Now.”

According to the reality TV star, she has high hopes for the song, and would even like to “win an award on it.”

She then shared the stars she was most excited to see at the music event, dropping big names like Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift, who she is rooting for to take home an award.

“I hope Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter wins,” she said, adding, “Or even Taylor Swift.”

All three ladies mentioned scored heavily this year at the AMAs, with Swift having a total of eight nods, Carpenter with seven, and Gaga with six nominations.

Abbey Romeo And Her Longtime Boyfriend Called It Quits On Their Relationship

Abbey and her longtime boyfriend, David Isaacman, recently called it quits on their romance, but things still seem to be good between them.

During an appearance on the “Tea Time with Raven and Miranda” podcast, she had nothing but great things to say about him, noting that they now refer to each other as “best friends.”

“David and I decided to call each other ‘best friends,’ not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore,” she told hosts Raven-Symoné and her wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, per People Magazine.

The former couple met on the first season of the hit Netflix show in 2021, going on to have their first date in July of that same year at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park.

However, in early April this year, they called it quits on their romance. Abbey and Isaacman were the show’s longest-standing couple.

The Reality TV Star Says It ‘Feels Amazing’ Being Single Again

When asked how she feels now that she is a single woman, Abbey didn’t hold back, as she proclaimed it was a great feeling.

“Being a single lady, like what Beyoncè says, it feels amazing,” she stated. “I’ve grown and changed a lot over the past four and a half years.”

She, however, credited her ex-boyfriend for helping her grow as a person, saying, “I wouldn’t be where I am today,” before adding, “He was a good start.”

Agreeing with her, Pearman-Maday noted that early relationships are “so important” as they help one grow and become better, while also making it clearer “what we want in our next relationship.” 

Abbey Romeo Said It’s Good That Her Ex Was Not ‘Cheating’ On Her

During her podcast appearance, Abbey was with her mother, Christine, who asked about a “funny” thing she says about her ex.

Responding, the reality TV star said that at least Isaacman “wasn’t cheating and lying” like her brother’s ex-partner. 

According to People, Abbey previously opened up about her split from Isaacman in a chat with “Love On The Spectrum” producers, revealing that “neither one of us are ready to get married.”

She added, “I don’t want to be a divorced lady like my mom, so that’s why I don’t want to rush it, take my time to get married.”
