In between tense sci-fi sagas like Severance and gripping thrillers like Cape Fear, Apple TV has become a great platform for cozy comfort watches. Ted Lasso might be the first example people think of in that camp, and while that will be returning for Season 4 by the end of the year, another Bill Lawrence series will also be returning with Jason Segel‘s hit dramedy, Shrinking. The series has been widely praised for its authentic depictions of mental health and therapy, and that’s likely only going to continue in the upcoming fourth season, which just recently added MCU star Karen Gillan ahead of her role in Henry Cavill‘s Highlander remake.

Season 3 starts a whole new chapter in the lives of Jimmy (Segel), Paul (Harrison Ford), and many of the other characters in the ensemble. That certainly raised questions for fans, but now, we finally have some clarification. Collider spoke with several cast members from the series at Newport TV Fest, and we can now confirm that not only will there be a significant time jump from Season 3 to Season 4, but that gap will be about “2 years.” The timeframe itself was confirmed by Michael Urie, who is excited to further explore fatherhood with his character of Brian. Lukita Maxwell, who plays Alice in the series, also relayed that it still feels like business as usual for the hit show even after the Backrooms star’s character left for college:

“I don’t know if it’s any different from any other season. You’re always going to catch them in a new place or in a new state of mind and I think it is exciting that there is a significant chunk of time because I am now once again closer in age to my character. But I think in terms of how I personally work going into it, it’s close to the same.”

How Long Will ‘Shrinking’ Season 4 Be?

The norm for most shows in the streaming era is typically around 8 to 12 episodes, and Shrinking has benefited from swinging toward the higher end of that range. That’s set to be the case again this season, with Harrison Ford recently confirming that the next season of the series will be a whopping 12 episodes long. What can fans expect? Well, those are surprises that even the cast aren’t ready for. We also had the chance to speak with Ted McGinley at NPTVF, and the TV vet confirmed that much of the plot info is kept under wraps until mere days before filming, which he finds to be a benefit, saying, “It’s really fun to not know” what to expect from one of television’s most innovative comedies.

The first three seasons of Shrinking are streaming now on Apple TV. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates on Season 4.

Alicia Brown, the wife of radio host Big Tigger, went viral earlier this month. This, for accusing him of physical abuse, posting footage of her apparently battered face. And for accusing him of cheating on her with his morning show co-host, Francesca Amiker.

What’s really going on?

The Shade Room’s Justin Carter is asking questions and getting answers on ‘TSR Investigates.‘

Alicia Brown Posts Injured Face

According to Carter, the footage posted by Brown showed her crying. Furthermore, additional comments she shared on social media revealed that she and Tigger are getting a divorce over his alleged relationship with Franceska Amiker. However, according to Amiker, the allegations of Tigger cheating on his wife with her are “completely false.”

Amid all of this, social media users have dug up information about Brown’s past, discovering she was arrested for leaving her then-4-year-old daughter in a car for hours as she went to gamble. Even worse, social media users discovered that the same daughter has reportedly been missing since 2019.

Carter got in touch with Alicia Brown, who declined an on-camera interview — but confirmed the neglect incident. As for the abuse claims, she remained mum, citing an open police investigation.

Is There Anything Going On With Big Tigger & Franceska Amiker?

With all of that said, the mystery of Alicia Brown’s eldest daughter has still sparked more questions than answers. Durrell Williams, the father of Ailea Brown, has since taken to social media, accusing Alicia Brown of weaponizing public opinion to falsely accuse Big Tigger of abuse.

“This woman has made several FALSE ACCUSATIONS of abuse against the father’s of her children, with the mission to take the child to weaponizing the courts to her advantage. When she lost primary custody of our daughter, she fled the state of Maryland and I have not located her since. Please do your own research on Alicia Brown,” Williams reportedly wrote on social media.

Scroll below to watch what Alicia Brown told Justin Carter when asked about her daughter, Ailea Brown. Additionally, Durrell Williams responds to her statement, and Carter shares what happened when he reached out to Big Tigger for comment on it all.

Michael J. Fox and his wife, Tracy Pollan, enjoyed a date night at Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals.

Fox and Pollan, both 65, were spotted sitting courtside at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Wednesday, June 10, where the New York Knicks narrowly beat the San Antonio Spurs 107-106 in the championship series. (The Knicks lead the Spurs 3-1 in the series ahead of the Saturday, June 13, matchup.)

Fox has been cheering on the Knicks throughout their playoff run, previously attending two games last month against the Cleveland Cavaliers.

The Back to the Future actor has been married to Pollan since 1988, the same year that he was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson’s disease at the age of 29. Fox publicly confirmed his diagnosis seven years later.

Michael J. Fox gained worldwide recognition beginning in 1982 on the NBC sitcom Family Ties and continued his rise to fame for the next four decades. The Back to the Future star was born in Alberta, Canada, in June 1961 and began his acting career at the age of 16 in the Canadian TV series […]

“My life is set up so I can pack Parkinson’s along with me if I have to,” Fox said on CBS Sunday Mornings in 2023. “Yeah, it’s banging on the door. Yeah, I mean, I’m not gonna lie. It’s gettin’ hard, it’s gettin’ harder. It’s gettin’ tougher. Every day it’s tougher. But that’s the way it is. You don’t die from Parkinson’s. You die with Parkinson’s.”

He continued at the time, “I’ve been thinking about the mortality of it. … I’m not gonna be 80. I’m not gonna be 80.”

Fox, who launched an eponymous nonprofit supporting Parkinson’s research amid his health battle, ultimately retired from acting in 2020.

“When I left school and moved from Canada to L.A. to start making it as an actor, a teacher of mine told me, ‘Fox, you’re not going to be cute forever,’” Fox said during the 2026 Actor Awards in March, closing out the “I Am an Actor” monologue. “I said, ‘Maybe just long enough, sir.’ After a few years of dumpster diving in L.A., I ended up on Family Ties, where I received the biggest gift of my career: I met my wife, actor Tracy Pollan, who played Ellen, my girlfriend.”

Fox further gushed that Pollan gave him the gift of their four children: Sam, 37, twins Aquinnah and Schuyler, 31, and Esmé, 24.

“Sometimes I like to remind them, ‘If I weren’t an actor, they wouldn’t be here.’ By the way, he’s not an actor — he’s my date,” Fox added at the time, pointing to Sam, who attended the awards ceremony. “I’m Michael J. Fox. I’m a dad and I’m an actor.”

The Teen Wolf actor has also begun thinking about and questioning his eventual mortality amid his Parkinson’s battle.

“There’s no timeline, there’s no series of stages that you go through — not in the same way that you would, say, with prostate cancer,” Fox told The Times of London last year. “It’s much more mysterious and enigmatic. There are not many people who have had Parkinson’s for 35 years. I’d like to just not wake up one day. That’d be really cool. I don’t want it to be dramatic. I don’t want to trip over furniture, smash my head.”

Jennifer Lawrence apparently did more than just watch “Summer House.” She helped crack one of Bravo’s biggest recent scandals. Andy Cohen revealed that the Oscar-winning actress played a surprising role in helping Bravo investigate the leaked audio from the Summer House Season 10 reunion, putting months of speculation to rest. The revelation came during Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” which aired following the final installment of the reunion special.

For weeks, fans speculated about the identity of a mysterious Bravo superfan who allegedly assisted the network as it investigated leaked reunion audio that spread online following filming in April.

Many viewers suspected Lawrence, a longtime Bravo enthusiast, may have been involved, and Cohen finally confirmed the rumors. “There’s been a lot of speculation of who that Bravo superfan was, with a lot of people assuming it was Jennifer Lawrence,” Cohen said on Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live.”

He went on to praise Bravo fans for rallying behind the network during the controversy. “And I just want to say, Bravo superfans are the best,” Cohen continued. “You rode with us on this, you knew that this was bad that it was leaked and you wanted to see it when we presented it.”

Cohen later confirmed Lawrence’s involvement directly, crediting her “online sleuthing” for helping uncover the person responsible. “Bravo fans are the most loyal and dedicated,” Cohen said, adding, “Jennifer Lawrence, Oscar winner, you are the top of the class!”

The ‘Summer House’ Reunion Leak Sparked Outrage

The controversy began after multiple audio clips from the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion, filmed on April 23, surfaced online before Bravo aired the episodes. The leaked footage quickly spread across social media, prompting Cohen to publicly condemn the incident.

“People laid their souls out emotionally for ten hours yesterday, and it’s disgusting and illegal for someone to leak or distribute this,” Cohen wrote on Threads at the time. “It’s disrespectful to the work and the tears the cast put in. Let the season play out. You will see it all in due time.”

Among the leaked audio was a heated moment involving Ciara Miller and Amanda Batula, with Miller calling her former best friend a “f-cking snake” over Batula’s relationship with West Wilson.

Bravo Launches Investigation Into Reunion Leak

Following the leak, Bravo reportedly launched a “full investigation” and eventually traced the unauthorized audio to someone working on the production team. The network later confirmed “appropriate action has been taken” and said investigators found no evidence that any cast member was involved.

“We take these matters seriously and will continue to take appropriate measures to respond to the unauthorized distribution of our content,” Bravo said.

‘Summer House’ Drama Is Far From Over

The reunion drama also did not stop with the leaked audio. Part 3 of the “Summer House” Season 10 reunion featured even more fallout surrounding West Wilson and Amanda Batula’s controversial relationship, with both admitting they only came clean after online speculation spiraled out of control.

After spending much of the reunion denying anything physical happened before Amanda’s split from Kyle Cooke, West acknowledged that an emotional connection had developed over the summer, while also admitting the pair let friends believe rumors about them were false.

The tension escalated further when Amanda and West were pressed on whether they had any intention of telling the truth without public pressure. Asked directly whether they only confessed because fans were already speculating online, Amanda admitted the timing was no coincidence.

She explained the pair came forward “because of the speculation” and because “there were a lot of things that I was still trying to understand and figure out, including the Meija situation.”

West Finally Admits Truth About His Relationship Drama

Meanwhile, West ultimately admitted he had been dating multiple women at the same time, even though his ex-girlfriend Meija Moreno believed their relationship was exclusive, another revelation that left the cast visibly stunned.

The reunion also saw Ciara Miller confront Amanda over the damage done to their friendship, offering what many fans viewed as one of the reunion’s few moments of emotional closure amid the chaos.

Bravo is set to air “Summer House: The Aftermath” next week, featuring additional footage of Batula, Wilson, Miller, and Cooke as they attempt to unpack the fallout even further.

Summer in Vegas looks different for everyone. Some find solitude relaxing at the hotel pools all day, while others spend their time finding the best dining spots within the powerful AC of the casinos. The party never stops downtown, and with summer just around the corner, the sightings and happenings are definitely heating up.

Just like how many athletes favor Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Las Vegas before a game, celebrities also are known to stop in before award shows, amongst other nights out. This was certainly true for Donnie Wahlberg, star of the hit TV show Blue Bloods, and NKOTB member Jordan Knight. It is no secret that this is Donnie’s number one choice for any night out, and he wanted Jordan to experience it as well, ahead of walking the red carpet at the AMAs. Donnie always recommends the desserts at Barry’s, including the Oreo Ice Cream Pie — a must to top off any meal.

Just two days prior, Joe Montana, who happens to be good friends with chef Barry, stopped in and posed together in the wine room.

Joe has been seen multiple times at Barry’s in the past.

The Mountain Has Entered the Building 

Icelandic professional strongman Thor, or Hafþór Júlíus Björnsson — known to many as “The Mountain” from the hit show Game of Thrones — and his wife Kelsey were joined by fitness pro and influencer Jason Poston and his wife Sheena, along with Sebastian Oreb and Dinny J, who all fueled up for their weekend by trying Barry’s for the first time.

Being their first visit to Circa, they toured Stadium Swim and Legacy Club, loving the property and the breathtaking view of the city from 60 floors up on the patio. 

TikTok Comes to Fremont Street 

What better way to decompress after a business trip to TikTok headquarters — owner Nicholas Wolfs of Perfect Society, one of the top 10 creator agencies for TikTok, and his fiancée Kaitlyn, co-owners Nick Young and Chetty Tok were all seen posing at the iconic Vegas Vickie’s in the Circa lobby with CEO/Owner Derek Stevens and COO David Rosborough.

With thousands of creators under the Perfect Society agency, it looks like they found the right hotel in Vegas to partner with.

It does not matter what brings the crowds to Las Vegas. There is always something to see, eat, and celebrate. What adds to the excitement are the unexpected run-ins with celebrities of all kinds doing the exact same thing, and it only shows that everyone has the same really good taste. 

Ryan Reynolds is easily one of the most famous actors in the world. Whether it’s from his romcom days in films like The Proposal, or his real-life pursuits of success with Wrexham A.F.C., or even Reynolds’ Aviation Gin, it’s an extremely hard task to find someone who doesn’t know the name Ryan Reynolds. But none of these products, football clubs, or other films are as synonymous with the Canadian actor as the Deadpool movies. Utilizing his bubbly charisma, Reynolds created one of the most popular superheroes in modern memory.

Yet, there is another sci-fi action movie that allows Reynolds to explore a different aspect of his comedy in a way that is just as lovable as Deadpool’s crude cynicism: Free Guy. Released in 2021, Free Guy delivers an accessible, heartfelt message about sincerity, using video games as the perfect vehicle and serving up energetic action and delightfully absurd comedy. It may not have made as much money as Deadpool & Wolverine, but Free Guy sits right alongside as one of Reynolds’ best performances and overall films.

What is ‘Free Guy’ About?

Free Guy primarily follows Guy (Ryan Reynolds), a non-playable character, in the open-world multiplayer video game Free City, a vibrant, densely populated setting that feels strikingly similar to Grand Theft Auto V. At the start, Guy is merely someone who lives the same day every day, caught up in the chaos created by the “sunglasses people” as Guy names them due to the glasses each player wears. When Guy gains sentience and steals another player’s glasses, he accidentally becomes the most popular gamer, threatening to derail the plans of the money-hungry Antwan (Taika Waititi), the CEO of the company that makes Free City. While Guy is a naive, fun-loving character, Antwan’s cynicism creates a clear thematic battle between kindness and selfishness that making it impossible not to root for Guy at every turn, especially since his goal is only to get the attention of Millie (Jodie Comer), another gamer he falls in love with.

For video game fans, Free Guy is perhaps one of the most fun interpretations of a multiplayer, open-world game put on the screen. Free Guy embraces video game absurdism, with action that sees Guy accidentally use power-ups that launch him hundreds of feet in the air, only to fall on his face. As he becomes more skilled, leveling up to impress Millie, the audience is reminded of their own journeys, going from a “noob” to a pro.

Ryan Reynolds’ Performance in ‘Free Guy’ is a Refreshing Switch Up From ‘Deadpool’

Ryan Reynolds is one of the most popular actors for a reason. He delivers performances that are comforting to watch and make audiences laugh, and his approach to Free Guy and how different it is to Deadpool is exactly why this film works so well. While Deadpool is upbeat and funny, it’s his sarcasm that defines him. In contrast, Guy is truly sincere, wearing a toothy smile throughout that frames all of his actions as innocent. This separates him from other action heroes and makes Free Guy a unique experience for action fans, where he isn’t the grizzled warrior, like Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) or the Terminator (Arnold Schwarzenegger).

Instead, the way he falls in love with Millie, making a huge effort to level up just so he can talk to her, makes for a romance and argument in favor of kindness that gives Free Guy a depth one might not expect, layering the story. When Guy is with Millie, Reynolds hunches his shoulders and keeps his head low, giving Guy an adorably meek quality and casting him as an underdog in the audience’s eyes, far removed from how Deadpool is usually perceived.

Overall, there are few better ways to spend your evening than sitting back and relaxing with Free Guy. As far as video game interpretations go, Free Guy is up there with one of the best, understanding the bizarre and unrealistic nature of video games and how you can truly be anyone you want to be when in the game. In doing so, Free Guy also embraces a positive message about changing your life for the better, even when it should be impossible, with Ryan Reynolds carrying that message like he was born to do so. It may not be what he is remembered for, but Free Guy showed a side to Reynolds we don’t often get to see, and it is all the better for it.

Tom Brady has partnered with food delivery company Gopuff to launch a new beverage line called Good Nut. The premium brand will offer organic coconut water drinks in a market projected to reach $11 billion by 2030.

The former NFL star praised the launch in a statement to the press and also shared details about how the beverage came together as he continues to expand his business portfolio after retirement.

Brady and instant-commerce leader Gopuff have entered the beverage market with a premium line of organic coconut water, which they announced earlier this week.

With the coconut water market expected to continue growing in the coming years, the former NFL star said the new product is something “customers would actually want to drink,” adding that the team hopes to capitalize on rising consumer demand.

“Gopuff has a unique ability to understand what consumers want and get great products into their hands in minutes,” Brady told Fox Business in an exclusive. “We had a great experience working together on GOAT Gummies, and that trust made it easy to team up again on Good Nut.”

Why Brady Embraced The Coconut Water Idea

Brady is no stranger to coconut water, which is one of the reasons the idea of launching a beverage with Gopuff came together so quickly.

“It’s something I’ve enjoyed for years, and hydration has always been an important part of my routine, during my playing career and still today,” Brady revealed.

By partnering with Gopuff, Brady said he believed they could bring something unique to the rapidly growing market while offering consumers a healthier option.

“Hydration has always been a big part of my routine, and while coconut water has been a staple for me, I knew we could take it to a completely different level by teaming up with Gopuff,” he added. “With Good Nut, we focused on keeping the ingredients simple and clean, making sure it’s exactly what I’d want in my own fridge.”

Tom Brady Says He Loves Building Brands Up

Before working on Good Nut, Brady and Gopuff collaborated on GOAT Gummies, which launched in June 2024.

The vegan snack contains “no artificial sweeteners, artificial dyes, or artificial flavors,” the former NFL star said in an interview with Forbes around the time of its launch.

Looking ahead, Brady said he is enjoying a post-football career centered on developing and growing brands.

“One of the most rewarding parts of this chapter of my life has been building brands from the ground up,” he said.

“With Good Nut, we wanted to create something fun that people would genuinely enjoy. It’s been exciting to bring that vision to life,” the retired quarterback added.

Brady Explains His Approach To Better Snacks

In his interview with Forbes, Brady also shared that the core of his collaboration with Gopuff is creating products that are both healthier and enjoyable.

He believes consumers should be able to enjoy the foods they love without feeling pressured to change their eating habits completely.

“I realize it’s always about, ‘How can we do a little bit better,” Brady said. “I don’t necessarily want people to always eat how I eat.”

“People, they like to eat the way they eat, but how can I create some things that are fun, that they’re going to enjoy, that are a little bit healthier than the things that they currently have? That’s really the impetus of what we’ve done here with this partnership with Gopuff,” the seven-time Super Bowl winner added.

Tom Brady Was Excited To Join Gopuff

As part of the partnership, Brady is expected to take a hands-on role in developing new products rather than simply serving as the brand’s celebrity face.

When he first joined forces with Gopuff, Brady expressed excitement about the opportunity and praised the company’s success as an instant-commerce platform.

“Since my first time using Gopuff, I’ve been amazed by how fast and seamless the deliveries are, offering so many different options right at your fingertips,” Brady said in a statement. “I’m excited to be working with the Gopuff team to continue to drive innovation and help create an even better experience for their customers.”
