Actor, rapper, and talk show host Nick Cannon is getting vulnerable like never before.

Cannon, 45, is used to making headlines, especially when it comes to his family life.

But now, Nick Cannon is addressing the noise head-on, sharing the very intimate details about his life as a dad to 12 children in an upcoming Netflix docuseries set to air in winter 2026.

According to Netflix’s Tudum, the untitled project will air this winter and will follow Cannon’s life as a father to 12 children by six different women.

“Prepare to meet the Cannon the world has yet to see: heartfelt, complicated, and genuinely committed to showing up for the people he loves — with his trademark comedy, of course,” a synopsis for the show states.

It continues, “From million-dollar meetings to midnight diaper runs, the global entertainer navigates the complete chaos that can only come from his uniquely blended family, all while managing his booming career and headline-making drama.”

The series is produced by Velvet Hammer Media and will be executive-produced by Rebecca Quinn, Jen O’Connell, Simon Thomas, Trifari Williams, Rob Ford, and Steve Michaels, who have worked on popular productions such as “Age of Attraction” and “Love Island USA.”

Nick Cannon Shared Candid Thoughts About His 12 Children During A Previous Interview

The Blast reported about Cannon’s previous comments about his children in September 2025. While speaking with the hosts of “The Breakfast Club,” Cannon said his fathering 12 children was due to him being “careless.”

“It was more of being careless, being frivolous with my process because I could do it, because I had the money [and] because I had the access to whoever and however I wanted to move,” he said. “Then, obviously, life happens as well, so it wasn’t like ‘Oh, I’m gonna go have 12 kids.’ It was more about like, ‘Yo, I’m gonna just live life and have fun and whatever happens happens. I can handle it.’”

Cannon, who became a father to twins, Moroccan and Monroe, at age 30, said his mindset has shifted as he’s gotten older.

“Being almost 45 now, I could sit back and like, yeah, if I would have thought the process through a little bit more and took time to actually do the inner work,” he said. “Things might have been a little different in certain scenarios.”

Nick Cannon Doesn’t Agree With The Word ‘Co-Parenting’

Before that, Cannon opened up about how he raises his 12 children with their mothers during a previous episode of his podcast, “Nick Cannon @ Night.”

Responding to a listener who asked how he co-parents, Cannon said he doesn’t agree with the term “co-parenting,” adding that it should just be called “parenting.”

He went on to say that placing “labels” on things could cause more harm than good. “But also to your point, if I just step into every situation with respect and compassion and individuality. That’s the other thing I always do with anyone I’m involved with in my life,” the “Drumline” actor said.

Adding to the conversation, Cannon said that he tries to approach his relationships with the mothers of his children with an open mind.

“I don’t bunch them together. I really try my hardest not to be like, ‘Oh yeah, my baby mamas,’ you know, unless I’m telling a joke or something like that, but no one wants to be grouped into anything,” he said.

Cannon Faced Backlash After Saying He’d Prefer To Raise A Bully

During an episode of another one of his podcasts, “We Playin Spades,” Cannon sparked concern after telling his guests that he’d rather raise a “bully” than someone who can’t defend themselves.

Speaking about young boys, Cannon said that he believes it’s important for his sons to know how to “throw hands” in case they need to protect themselves.

“Knowing how to throw your hands [as a man] will help you in life,” he said.

Social media users clapped back, though, asking the actor why he wouldn’t just raise his children to be kind people rather than fighters.

“Let’s just all try to raise decent and kind humans,” someone else said.

Most recently, Cannon made headlines after clearing the air about his daughter’s comments regarding her siblings.

Toward the end of 2025, Cannon’s eldest daughter, Monroe, whom he shares with singer Mariah Carey, posted that she has “ONE brother.”

While speaking to Shannon Sharpe on his “Club Shay Shay” podcast, Cannon said that while his daughter’s comments seem sharp, they were taken out of context.

“There was like some, a couple kids online saying that they were my kids’ siblings. Like, ‘Oh that’s my sister, oh that’s my brother.’ So my daughter wanted to clear it up and be like, ‘I only have one brother, like literally in her age group. All these other guys that are saying they’re my brother are not my brother,’” he said.

Cannon explained that he spoke with his daughter about how powerful her voice can be on social media.

“I was like, ‘But let this be a lesson that you gotta be very careful what you say on social media. People will take something very small and blow it up to something that you don’t have control over anymore. So be very careful on what you share,’” he shared.

When Taylor Sheridan‘s neo-Western melodrama Yellowstone concluded at the end of 2024, it was anyone’s guess how the Duttons’ story would continue. The writer and director had told the stories of the family’s preceding generations through spin-offs like 1883 and 1923, both of which have also concluded, but the franchise itself had almost become too big to fully die, despite losing a major player in Kevin Costner‘s John Dutton. Two sequel spin-offs were eventually announced — one revolving around John’s youngest son, Kayce (Luke Grimes), in Marshals, and the other following John’s daughter, Beth (Kelly Reilly), and her husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser), poised to continue the family’s legacy in the appropriately titled Dutton Ranch.

Although Marshals premiered on CBS back in March, viewer reactions to that spin-off have been mixed; it seems that what audiences are most hankering for isn’t another police procedural, even if it happens to have Yellowstone window dressing slapped on it. Fortunately, for those who were hoping that Dutton Ranch would be a strong successor to the flagship series, the Paramount+ show finally premiering this week delivers on that front and then some. Given the fact that Beth and Rip were essentially anchoring the original show as it limped toward the finish line, giving them their own series was the obvious next step, but Dutton Ranch also doubles as the perfect sequel to Yellowstone, course-correcting some of the final season’s worst storytelling decisions in favor of bringing the characters back to the best versions of themselves.

What Is ‘Dutton Ranch’ About?

In the series finale of Yellowstone, which saw Beth and Kayce agreeing to sell their family’s original Montana ranch to the Broken Rock Reservation for a symbolic fee, the closing minutes of the episode also confirmed where Beth and Rip would ultimately end up — or so we thought. After buying a smaller ranch in Dillon, husband and wife, alongside their adopted son, Carter (Finn Little), seemed to be settling in for a cozier life, but the premiere of Dutton Ranch quickly confirms that their idyll is short-lived. After a devastating fire sweeps through thousands of acres of farmland, including their property, Beth and Rip have to pick up what little remains and start over in South Texas, far from anyone who has even heard of the Dutton name.

The two soon purchase a plot of land and a small herd of cattle from a retiring rancher, quickly putting their own stamp on it, but it turns out that making a fresh start isn’t going to go as smoothly as they thought. The biggest ranch in the area, owned by the pragmatic and occasionally ruthless Beulah Jackson (Annette Bening), doesn’t tolerate any form of competition, especially not from out-of-towners. Behind the scenes, Beulah’s got her hands full of a few complications, including her wildcard of a son, Rob-Will (Jai Courtney), whose reckless behavior could spell trouble with the law, despite her right-hand man Joaquin’s (Juan Pablo Raba) attempts to clean up after him.

Not everyone meets Beth and Rip with a closed fist, though; local veterinarian, Everett McKinney (Ed Harris), becomes someone they can both rely on, especially when times with their new herd get tough, and the ranch’s new cowboys, Azul (J. R. Villarreal) and Zachariah (Marc Menchaca), also start to look a lot closer to family as weeks pass. Even Finn starts to explore the possibilities that come with one’s first romance after his path crosses with a free-spirited young woman named Oreana (Natalie Alyn Lind), though you can bet Beth has more than a few opinions about that.

Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser Are as Perfect as Ever in ‘Dutton Ranch’

Yellowstone‘s final season was plagued by several issues, most of which revolved around Costner’s sudden departure — though, if you’d been paying attention to any headlines at the time, you knew the writing was on the wall much earlier than that. It was clear even before John’s demise that two other characters were more than capable of anchoring a Duttonverse series without him. With Dutton Ranch, Reilly’s Beth and Hauser’s Rip are assuming control of the helm that was likely always going to be theirs at some point, and the spin-off created by Chad Feehan (Lawmen: Bass Reeves) makes several smart moves to help wash away the lingering bitterness of Yellowstone Season 5.

To be clear, Beth still considers the legal speed limit a suggestion, and Rip is still a quietly succinct man right up until he isn’t, but the overexaggerated characterization that previously defined them in so many of Yellowstone‘s final episodes — chief above all Beth’s violent and toxic relationship with her adopted brother, Jamie (Wes Bentley) — is nowhere to be found in this iteration. That ultimately works to the show’s benefit, allowing both Reilly and Hauser to showcase different, even softer layers of the characters that were previously flung to the wayside. The two actors have been playing each other’s most significant screen partners for almost a decade at this point, with Beth and Rip’s relationship evolving from a will-they-won’t-they to a rock-solid marriage, and Dutton Ranch also feels like a natural continuation of their characters’ dynamic. That’s not to say that they’re sharing every scene, but it does mean that the moments they do rotate back into one another’s orbit are the equivalent of television comfort food. While other shows might throw a wrench into the mix or threaten divorce as a means of pointless drama, Dutton Ranch brings the unspoken promise that Beth and Rip will stay devoted to each other come hell or high water.

With the spin-off’s relocation to Texas also comes the intriguing positioning of Beth and Rip as outsiders. In Montana, they enjoyed the level of protection that the Dutton name afforded them, but in some ways, it felt like the stakes kept rising while Yellowstone‘s most powerful family only developed harder and stronger plot armor. Thankfully, Dutton Ranch strips most of that armor away, and if you thought that the series’ opening wildfire was the worst thing that these two would have to go through, it turns out that’s only the beginning of the hardships ahead. It’s actually almost shocking to see Beth and Rip brought so low by circumstances that are beyond their control for once, especially by the midpoint of Dutton Ranch‘s nine-episode season (four episodes were provided in advance for review), but any longtime Yellowstone fan can rest assured in the knowledge that these two will definitely not go down without a fight.

‘Dutton Ranch’s New Cast Members Are Terrific Additions to the Series

Since Beth, Rip, and Carter become outsiders when Dutton Ranch finally takes the story to Texas, that means the spin-off gets to benefit from infusing new faces into the mix, including two acting powerhouses that are always a pleasure to watch onscreen. As Beulah Jackson, owner of the 10-Petal, with a true lineage of ranching in her blood, Annette Bening juggles a balance of authority and vulnerability with razor-sharp precision. Beulah’s shared similarities with Beth also can’t be overlooked, which is one of the reasons why Bening and Reilly’s scenes together always feel dynamic and unpredictable, like you’re watching two sharks slowly circle each other in the same tank while anxiously waiting for one of them to strike. Meanwhile, Everett McKinney feels like the role that Ed Harris was born to play at this stage in his career; Everett and Beth’s paths cross early on over a grievously injured horse, but the no-nonsense animal vet gradually reveals a softer underbelly as the story continues, and his deep ties to the town provide a window into a different side of ranching life, especially with characters who are trying to make it by one day at a time.

Just like in Yellowstone, the cowboys of the Dutton Ranch eventually become intriguing characters in their own right, but gone is the brutal branding ritual that forces their allegiance. Instead, Azul comes with the ranch, a carryover from his family’s loyal service to the previous owners, and Villarreal delivers an endearingly upbeat foil to Rip’s more taciturn nature. Meanwhile, Zachariah has become a social pariah because of a tragedy in his past and struggles to find work on any farm as a result; once the truth emerges, Menchaca’s resulting monologue becomes one of the season’s most poignant scenes. Other supporting members of the ensemble display their own glimmers of promise early on — Real’s Joaquin and Lind’s Oreana more than hold their own in several scenes, while Courtney’s Rob-Will lobs the equivalent of a narrative grenade into the show and then disappears altogether, but there’s still plenty of time left for a reemergence.

The concept of a Yellowstone continuation was always inevitable, but with Dutton Ranch, the original series’ best characters get the spin-off that they — and, quite frankly, the audience — deserve. The choice to uproot Beth and Rip from Montana allows the franchise to move beyond its origins into a welcome new frontier, and a larger writers’ room taking the reins from Sheridan revitalizes the characters in fresh ways, infusing the series with drama in ways that never become too over-the-top. Reilly and Hauser haven’t missed a single beat in their performances, while Bening and Harris are two perfect additions to the Duttonverse, and it’s honestly sweet to get to watch Little grow up into an even stronger screen presence, especially since Carter’s growth allows him to impact the series’ plot in surprising ways. Dutton Ranch may not have been the first Yellowstone spin-off to make it to air, but it’s by far the best one yet.

Dutton Ranch premieres with its first two episodes May 15 on Paramount+.

Pros & Cons

• Kelly Reilly and Cole Hauser pick up right where they left off with Beth and Rip.
• Annette Bening and Ed Harris are perfect additions to the Duttonverse.
• Moving Beth and Rip to Texas allows the Yellowstone franchise to grow beyond the familiar landscape of Montana and implements exciting challenges.

• Jai Courtney’s Rob-Will has a big impact on the story and then kind of just… disappears.

Jennifer Aniston is reportedly preparing for a romantic milestone getaway with boyfriend Jim Curtis as the couple approaches their first anniversary together. 

After quietly building their relationship away from nonstop Hollywood drama, the actress is said to be happier than ever with the life coach, who has quickly become a favorite within her famous inner circle. 

Now, once filming wraps on the latest season of “The Morning Show,” the pair are allegedly heading to one of Aniston’s favorite luxury destinations to celebrate what sources describe as a blissful first year together.

Jennifer Aniston and Jim Curtis are reportedly getting ready for a luxurious escape to Cabo San Lucas next month to mark one year together as a couple.

According to insiders, the pair plan to celebrate after Aniston finishes filming season five of “The Morning Show.” 

The trip is expected to take place at the ultra-exclusive One & Only Palmilla resort, where private villas reportedly cost around $12,000 per night.

“They want to have some fun in the sun and toast a year of bliss in her favorite place in the world, Cabo,” a source told the Daily Mail. 

The insider also claimed the actress sees the relationship as far more than just a casual romance.

“She is head over heels for this guy and wants him to be her forever person, so it’s fitting they take a romantic break to appreciate one another,” the source explained. 

Aniston’s Famous Friends Have Fully Approved Of Jim Curtis

One major reason Jennifer Aniston reportedly feels so secure in the relationship is because Curtis has already won over her tight-knit celebrity circle.

Sources claim several of her closest friends, including Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, Jason Bateman, and Sean Hayes, genuinely enjoy being around him.

“Jim fits right in with the crowd, they think he is a cool guy, which is very relaxing for Jen,” the insider explained, adding, “She doesn’t have to sell Jim, everyone is sold on him!”

The source added that Curtis has blended naturally into Aniston’s social life, whether at intimate dinners, movie nights, red carpet premieres, or casual gatherings.

According to them, “Dinner parties, movie nights, premieres, they are easy breezy for Jen when Jim is by her side because he is so likable.”

After years of highly publicized relationships with fellow entertainers, Aniston reportedly appreciates how effortlessly Curtis fits into her world without creating extra stress or attention.

Jennifer Aniston’s Inner Circle Has Embraced Curtis’ Energy

Beyond simply getting along with Aniston’s friends, the author has reportedly become a calming presence within her entire social circle.

The insider claimed Curtis frequently encourages people around him to slow down, stay grounded, and appreciate the present moment.

“Very often Jim gets people to take deep breaths, to focus on the here and now, to appreciate the good things in life, he is like a human peace sign,” the source explained.

The life coach has also reportedly connected with some of Aniston’s closest longtime friends, including Andrea Bendewald, Kristin Hahn, and Amanda Anka.

“He is the dude everyone gravitates toward at a party,” the insider added. Sources say this peaceful personality is one of the reasons Aniston has fallen so deeply for him over the past year.

Rather than bringing additional pressure into her already hectic life, Curtis reportedly helps create a more relaxed environment both privately and socially.

Aniston Loves That Jim Curtis Isn’t Chasing Fame

Another major difference in Jennifer Aniston’s current relationship is that Curtis has no interest in becoming part of Hollywood fame culture.

Unlike several of her famous exes, including Brad Pitt, Vince Vaughn, John Mayer, and Justin Theroux, the 50-year-old reportedly has no desire to compete for attention or build industry connections through her.

“It is all about her and how she feels and what she needs. He never talks about his career or tries to network with her contacts, he has no interest in being an actor or being famous,” the source said.

That dynamic has reportedly created a calmer relationship for the Emmy-winning actress. “She has said with him she can exhale, she can let herself go and breathe because there is no pressure,” they added.

Curtis works as a life coach and is said to focus heavily on emotional wellness, mindfulness, and healing, qualities Aniston reportedly finds refreshing after years of navigating intense Hollywood relationships in the public eye.

Jennifer Aniston And Curtis Slowly Took Their Romance Public

Aniston and Curtis first began dating in early 2025, though the relationship stayed largely private during its early months.

The pair were eventually spotted publicly together in July that year while vacationing with friends in Mallorca, Spain. They later made their official public debut as a couple at the ELLE Women in Hollywood event in Beverly Hills on November 17.

Shortly before that appearance, Aniston also went Instagram official by sharing a photo featuring Curtis around November 2. 

Curtis himself later opened up about how the romance first began during an appearance on the “Today” show.

“We were just introduced by friends. That’s it. We found out that we had mutual friends and we started to just chat,” he explained, further noting, “It took a long time, we chatted for a long time and we became close.”

When asked how long they had been together, he replied, “A long time, months now, almost close to a year.”

Chicago Med’s season 11 finale ended with a happily ever after for Hannah and Archer — but will it be short-lived?

Warning: Spoilers below from season 11, episode 21 of Chicago Med.

“I don’t see her ready to let anything go in her professional [life],” Jessy Schram, who plays Dr. Hannah Asher, exclusively told Us Weekly when asked whether Hannah is ready to relinquish control in her life after welcoming her baby girl, Mabel, during the Wednesday, May 13, season finale.

The actress, 40, noted that Hannah has that “controlling matter of making sure that she doesn’t lose anywhere, anything,” especially because she’s worked “so hard with her sobriety, with her career, with her relationships to get them in a certain place.”

That sense of control will roll over into season 12 and Hannah’s relationship with Dr. Dean Archer (Steven Weber), who is the father of her child as well as her coworker, as he reminds her during the episode, “I love you Hannah and I have for a long time.”

“I feel like she’s letting go [to] the extent that she can now be in ‘the now’ [since] the baby’s here,” Schram teased of what’s to come for Hannah and Archer. “Archer has cleared his feelings with her. She’s clearing her [feelings] — she’s gonna figure them out. So I think that right now, Hannah may still have some controlling elements.”

She explained that moving forward, Hannah is “open to seeing what can unfold” which is “different from where she’s been these last couple of seasons.”

“She’s ready to be present and see what ‘the now’ brings,” Schram added, hinting that Hannah and Archer could have a full-blown romance now that their daughter was born safely following a hospital lockdown and a prisoner holding Archer at gunpoint. (Archer was still miraculously able to make it in time for the baby’s delivery.)

Chicago Med showrunner Allen MacDonald exclusively told Us that there is a moment at the end of the finale “where it may just be for a moment in TV land, but, like, [Hannah] is in a moment of peace at the end.”

That moment came after Archer professed his love for Hannah and she responded with a “thank you.”

Hannah then kissed Archer and looked over to their daughter, who was swaddled up next to them. Archer, for his part, looked longingly at Hannah and back to the baby, but she never took her eyes off their little girl.

“It wasn’t an accident that he looks at her and she’s looking at the baby, and that she doesn’t look back, she smiles at him, but she keeps her eyes on the baby,” MacDonald revealed. “There’s a reason that she didn’t, you know, look back, but the kiss is real at the same time. So I think it’s ambiguous.”

He teased, “There’s a lot of emotions in the pot. It’s all cooking and possibly going to boil over soon.”

“Hannah’s allowing herself to be in the moment for now,” Schram reiterated, while MacDonald hinted that their bliss might not last forever.

The showrunner shared with Us that season 12 will have its challenges for Hannah and Archer. “There are bumps in the road coming,” MacDonald confirmed. “And the one thing that we really wanted to capture in that final scene is that things are a little ambiguous.”

He teased, “They both have feelings for each other. The emotions are real, but they’re, like, kind of not aligned perfectly.”

When asked whether fans will get a glimpse at Hannah and Archer’s home life — outside the hospital — MacDonald played coy.

“If you say at home that insinuates they might be living together. So I mean, no comment,” he said with a laugh.

Chicago Med returns for season 12 on NBC in fall 2026.

Chicago Med’s season 11 finale featured many twists and turns — but the possibility of Goodwin leaving the ED for good isn’t sitting well with fans.

Warning: Spoilers below from season 11, episode 21 of Chicago Med.

During the Wednesday, May 13, episode, Sharon Goodwin (S. Epatha Merkerson) backed up Dr. Daniel Charles (Oliver Platt) as Dr. Theo Rabari (Manish Dayal) prepared to petition the hospital board to take over his role as head of psychiatry.

As Charles dug deeper into Rabari’s past, he learned that he has antisocial personality disorder, which played a part in Rabari’s attack on Charles and the personal side of the medical discipline. Charles, however, vowed that he wouldn’t use his disorder to discredit his work or his plan to try and push out Charles.

Rabari eventually canceled the meeting with the board, and he and Charles ended the episode with mutual respect for each other. In a twist, board member Miranda Lewis (Orlagh Cassidy) declared that while Charles can stay, Goodwin is “out” as the executive director of patient and medical services after allegedly leaking Rabari’s medical information.

“If you want a fight, you’ve got one,” Goodwin told her, as a stunned Charles was left wondering whether his longtime friend could have leaked the information to save his career.

In the final moments of the episode, Goodwin made it clear with one bold look to the camera that if someone wanted her job, they’d have to take it from her with force.

That look, an intense stare, is what showrunner Allen MacDonald exclusively told Us Weekly means that Goodwin will be back for season 12 — and she’s ready for battle.

“I would say the answer is all in the look of Goodwin’s eyes as she stares at the camera in the final shot, and she’s ready for a fight, and there’s going to be one. I can confirm that,” MacDonald said, noting that Merkerson, 73, came up with that idea to stare down the camera all on her own.

He recalled, “She did that on the fifth and final take of that shot. And we all got goosebumps.”

MacDonald played coy about whether Charles and Goodwin’s friendship will be affected by her alleged actions, but told Us that fans will get answers next season.

“That’s something that we will unpack as we go into next season,” he confirmed.

The showrunner also weighed in on what’s next for Dr. Mitch Ripley (Luke Mitchell) and Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) after they both said, “I love you,” during the season finale. (Plus, Ripley pushed Lenox to tell her brother the truth about her positive prion disease diagnosis.)

“They have moved on to another tier now. Lenox is being vulnerable with another person in a way that she really never has in her life,” MacDonald explained. “Because she’s been trying to protect herself from that sort of vulnerability, because she wanted to achieve, achieve, achieve while she still could in the off chance that she ended up being positive the prion [disease] which she now knows that she is.”

Jessy Schram, who plays Dr. Hannah Asher, exclusively told Us that Lenox’s relationship with Ripley has also “pushed her to be honest” with her brother, which is very new for the doctor.

“I feel like the truths that have to come out, like this relationship allows her to get to another level,” Schram, 40, said.

MacDonald added, “The difference between Ripley in the first scene and the Ripley in the last scene is that he knows that she told her brother, and that changes everything for him.”

Hannah, for her part, successfully gave birth to her and Dr. Dean Archer’s (Steven Weber) baby girl during the finale. The episode ended with Hannah kissing Archer after he admitted he has always loved her, which Schram told Us is part of Hannah’s new plan to “live in the now.”

The finale also featured a major development in Dr. John Frost’s (Darren Barnet) life after his father — who he had a rocky relationship with after having to pay for his parents’ lifestyle as a child star — died.

“In the short term, he will continue to lean on Dr. Naomi [Howard],” MacDonald said of Frost’s romance with Naomi (Ashlei Sharpe Chestnut). “I think there’s a real chemistry between those two characters.”

The showrunner noted that now that Frost has “made his peace with his father” prior to his passing, it is a “weight lifted off him that now frees him” to grow closer to his mom.

“This closes the book on the past,” MacDonald said of the death. “One of the big things we’ll be doing with Frost next year is moving forward. He was moving forward emotionally, but it required going back into his past more, and I think that we’ve told that story now.”

Chicago Med returns for season 12 on NBC in fall 2026.

Katharine McPhee and David Foster threw a lavish fundraiser for L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt in their Brentwood Park backyard.

One America News Network host Alicia Summers shared footage via Instagram of the event on Monday, May 13, including a snippet of Foster, 76, playing the keyboards as McPhee, 42, sang new lyrics for Tina Turner’s hit “The Best.” McPhee crooned that Pratt, 42, is “better than Karen Bass and Nithya Raman,” his two leading opponents.

At one point, McPhee seemingly forgot Raman’s first name, referring to her incorrectly as “Cynthia.” When she pointed out the mistake, Pratt shrugged as if he wasn’t sure of the L.A. city council member’s first name either.

Per Vanity Fair, the guest list at Foster and McPhee’s “Spencer Pratt for Mayor” fundraiser included Brian Grazer, the Hollywood titan who produced Apollo 13, A Beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code with his Imagine Entertainment partner Ron Howard.

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for McPhee, Foster and Grazer for comment.

Foster has a longtime connection to the former Hills star through Pratt’s friendship with the songwriter’s former stepson Brody Jenner. (Foster was married to Jenner’s mother, Linda Thompson, from 1991 to 2005. He was also married to B.J. Cook from 1972 to 1981, Rebecca Dyer from 1982 to 1996 and Yolanda Hadid from 2011 to 2017. He tied the knot with former American Idol star McPhee in 2019.)

In his recent memoir The Guy You Loved to Hate, Pratt recalled frequently watching Foster perform and described the musician as the “G.O.A.T,” an acronym for the “Greatest of All Time.”

Pratt’s campaign has received support from numerous public figures, including former Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss making an $1,800 donation to Pratt’s mayoral bid in April, according to a contribution report viewed by Us. Former View cohost Meghan McCain, Jax Taylor, Kristin Cavallari and Jonathan “FoodGod” Cheban, among others, have all endorsed Pratt’s mayoral run.

Per KTLA, current L.A. Mayor Bass maintained the edge over Pratt in a new Emerson College Polling/Inside California Politics survey, leading him 30 percent to 22 percent. The candidates are headed for a primary on June 2. If no single candidate receives a majority of the vote in that primary, the top two will move forward to the general election on November 3.

Community alum Yvette Nicole Brown cannot believe notorious reality TV villain Spencer Pratt could pull ahead in the Los Angeles race for mayor. “This nation is unserious and has learned nothing. 💔,” Brown, 54, wrote via Threads on Friday, April 24, seemingly referring to President Donald Trump, a former reality TV star-turned-politician. Brown also reposted […]

Pratt has based his campaign on what he sees as Bass’ failed response to the Palisades Fire in January 2025, in which he lost his home. News broke this week that Pratt, his wife Heidi Montag and their two sons have moved from a temporary trailer into the glitzy Hotel Bel-Air in California.

As some questioned the cost of his move, Pratt fired back via X on Wednesday, April 13, “Hey guys, why don’t they wanna talk about why I need a hotel in the first place? Karen Bass let my home burn down. Also 6,000 of my neighbors. NBD.”

Jeff Ross has a few people in mind whom Netflix should put in the hot seat next for a roast.

The stand-up comic was one of several high-profile stars at “The Roast of Kevin Hart,” and after taking his shot at the “Ride Along” star, he hinted that names like Stevie Wonder and Drake could make strong targets for future roasts.

His suggestion quickly drew reactions on social media, with some also sharing their own ideas about who should be roasted next.

Following Hart’s successful live roast show, Ross gave Variety a behind-the-scenes look at the event’s preparation, including who he would like to see in the hot seat next.

Speaking to the outlet, Ross said one of his top choices would be to have a musician face the heat, before narrowing it down to Drake as one of his preferred picks.

“A pop star or a rock star would be great. A rapper would be great. I could see Drake getting roasted and being a great one,” Ross said.

The comedian also mentioned veteran singer Stevie Wonder as another top option.

“One of my all-time favorite ideas is Stevie Wonder. I always say, ‘The Roast of Stevie Wonder: You’ve got to hear it to believe it,’” he added.

Fans Doubt Drake Would Ever Sit For A Roast

On X, fans shared their thoughts about Ross’ choices, especially regarding his preference for Wonder.

“Stevie Wonder roast would be legendary. Jeff Ross knows exactly what he’s doing with that one,” one individual joked.

As for the possibility of Drake being placed in the hot seat, most users claimed it would likely never happen.

“Drake got roasted by the whole country for over a year. I think he will probably pass,” one user said, referencing the rapper’s widely-publicized beef with Kendrick Lamar.

“Drake is too thin-skinned for a roast. Frankly, it’s hard to find a music star who isn’t,” another added.

Jeff Ross Believes Another High-Profile Star Could Be Roasted Next

Hart’s roast is the second installment in Netflix’s “GOAT” roast series hosted by Shane Gillis. For now, there is no word on whether a third “GOAT” has agreed to be roasted, but Ross believes another high-profile figure may opt in soon.

“Kevin doing it opens it up to almost anybody who is at the top of their game and wants to show the world they’re a good sport,” Ross told the outlet.

“It humanized even Kevin, whom we feel like we know everything about. It made him show some vulnerability by laughing at himself. A lot of celebrities could use that kind of injection of laughter into their career,” he added.

The Roast Master Says One Kevin Hart Joke Was Cut

For Hart’s roast, Ross appeared to hold nothing back, taking a swipe at the comedian over his attendance at a Diddy party and joking about his “pieces of sh-t” movies. He also brought up the actor’s upbringing and even referenced his relationship with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

“Your dad was a street hustler and addicted to crack cocaine,” Ross quipped. “So, I guess being dependent on the Rock runs in the family.”

Despite how boundary-pushing the jokes were, some went even further and seemingly did not make it into the roast for that reason.

“One that I was saying all week that I wound up dropping was: Kevin, your dad sold crack, and you literally sell everything except crack. From his comedy to his tequila to his chain of vegan fast-food restaurants, Kevin is always looking for new ways to make people throw up,” Ross joked.

Jeff Ross Says Nothing Was Off-Limits At Kevin Hart Roast

Elsewhere in the conversation, Ross also revealed that many people have been curious about whether any topics were off-limits during the roast.

On this, he shared that Hart never imposed any such restrictions, but he acknowledged that it is only logical not to go too far over the edge.

“For me, there’s a sportsmanship to it… I want to scratch the skin, but I don’t want to break it. Nothing was off limits. I don’t think there was a single topic from Kevin’s life that didn’t get brought up. It’s really just a question of how overt you want to be,” he remarked.
