Jana Kramer Warned Ex Mike Caussin About Book Revelations
Jana Kramer has been an open book about her divorce from ex-husband Mike Caussin — but she wouldn’t have shared everything publicly without his approval.
“Even writing stuff about my ex in my book, it’s like, ‘Hey, I’m obviously writing stories, here are some of them. Would you like to see them?’” Kramer, 42, recalled on the Friday, March 13, episode of her “Whine Down” podcast.
Kramer said that she gave Caussin, 39, a heads-up about what she planned to include in her 2023 book, The Next Chapter: Making Peace with Hard Memories, Finding Hope All Around Me, and Clearing Space for Good Things to Come―Navigating Heartbreak and Loss with Wisdom.
Kramer explained, “I think it’s the respectful thing to do to reach out to people if you’re going to talk about them.”
The One Tree Hill alum joked that she told Caussin at the time that “because our book deal about trust went away,” she was instead going to write about her experience as a divorcee.
The now-exes previously collaborated on The Good Fight: Wanting to Leave, Choosing to Stay, and the Powerful Practice for Loving Faithfully and were supposed to work together on a second project about trust when Kramer learned that Caussin allegedly cheated on her . (Caussin has not publicly spoke about the alleged infidelity, but Kramer wrote about it in her book). They split for good in spring 2021.
“I said, what I want you to know first and foremost is that this isn’t an ‘I hate Mike book.’ This is about my year post-divorce,” Kramer remembered on Friday’s podcast.
She told him, “There are things I didn’t speak about to protect you, mostly the kids. Because if there were certain things I put in there he would’ve fought [about it].”
Kramer told her listeners, “I felt like I was tasteful enough with the stories” and Caussin agreed.
“He goes, ‘I trust that you are saying what you’re saying about the stories and that you wouldn’t put in what I would hope you wouldn’t,’” she shared.
Kramer confessed that if the tables were turned, “I would’ve read every single page.”
When asked whether she would have “changed” any parts of the story if Caussin had objected, Kramer admitted that she would but only “pieces” of her book because it was her “truth.”
Kramer noted that when it comes to her split from Caussin, her book and what she discusses on her podcast only focuses on their past together, not what the retired NFL player is doing now.

“Whatever you do now, it’s not on me to talk about. I’m not that person,” Kramer said. “All I’ve ever talked about was past experiences when we were in a marriage.”
Kramer announced in April 2021 that she and Caussin were getting divorced after nearly six years of marriage.
“‘It’s time.’ As I try to make sense of a reality I never wanted to believe could be possible again, those words have now become a reality,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. ”I’ve fought y’all. I’ve loved hard. I’ve forgiven. I’ve put the work in. I’ve given everything I have, and now I have nothing else to give.”
Kramer and Caussin previously separated in 2016 after Us Weekly broke the news that he was unfaithful. Caussin later entered treatment for sex addiction and the pair renewed their vows in 2017.
The exes, who share daughter Jolie, 10, and son Jace, 7, split for good in 2021 after he allegedly confessed to cheating on her again. (Kramer is now married to Allan Russell, with whom she shares son Roman, 2.)
Kramer has continued to speak about her highs and lows with Caussin as well as their coparenting dynamic on her podcast.
In her book, she claimed that amid their divorce proceedings, Caussin told her, “You know, I never really loved you.”
“He wanted to hurt me, and news flash, it did,” she wrote. “I had taken massive steps away from him and toward a new future in the last few weeks, but hearing those words confirmed the little voice in my head that had been telling me that everything he did and said in our marriage was because he didn’t love me.”

Sebastian Bach Addresses Christina Applegate, Brad Pitt Drama
Sebastian Bach is breaking his silence after Christina Applegate revealed she ditched Brad Pitt for the rocker at 1989 VMAs.
“[I] was very surprised when that all hit,” Bach, 57, said of Applegate’s confession in an interview with Billboard published on Friday, March 13. “I was a single guy on tour, in a band, and I met a lot of girls and I apologize if I hurt her … If I hurt anybody.”
Bach added that during that time of his life, he was just beginning his journey as a bona fide rockstar.
“When you’re young you get thrown into the whirlwind of rock ‘n’ roll, meeting a lot of people and you better hold on tight,” he continued. “It’s like being on a roller coaster … It was a long time ago. If I hurt anybody, I apologize for it.”
Applegate, 54, and Bach’s connection made headlines following the release of her memoir, You With the Sad Eyes, earlier this month. In the book, the Married With Children actress revealed she was once entangled in a love triangle with Pitt and Bach. While Applegate brought Pitt, who hadn’t made a name for himself in Hollywood at the time, as her date to the VMAs, where she was presenting, she quickly became entranced by Bach, who was there with his band Skid Row.
“I had spent all night staring at Bach, who was then a long-haired hunk fronting the band Skid Row,” she wrote. “I hate to put it like this, but Brad back then was still making his way as an actor, and he wasn’t yet THE Brad Pitt, the man of so many people’s dreams.”
While Applegate came with Pitt, she ended up leaving the show with Bach.
“I felt so powerful and sure of myself for once that when the awards show was over, I left with Sebastian Bach,” she continued. “Brad was left to sullenly drive my mom and [friend] Lori [Allison] home. Apparently, at a gas station on the way, Brad almost got into a fight with a bunch of gang members, and, not surprisingly, was subsequently very mad at me.”
Applegate added that she and Pitt “didn’t talk for many years” after the incident, and she never really got to have a romance with Bach.
“Eventually, we agreed that I’d been a kid,” she wrote of Pitt, noting that “he’d deserved much better” and “it was time to forgive the child who dumped him for the lead singer of Skid Row.”

Madison Pettis Claims Ex Michael Porter Jr. Was a ‘Psychopath’
Madison Pettis shaded her ex-boyfriend, Michael Porter Jr., while discussing their breakup.
Pettis, 27, appeared on an episode of the “In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele” podcast earlier this month. During her chat with Thiele, Pettis shared that she is a big fan of basketball which led him to ask if she would consider dating an NBA player.
“Um, yeah,” she said before explaining her history with Porter Jr. “I mean, my ex is now in the NBA. When we dated, he was in high school and college.”
Pettis also gave some insight into the alleged reason for their split.
“I broke up with him before he was in the league because he was a psychopath,” she claimed. “I do think a lot of athletes are not great partners, but I wouldn’t, like, rule it out because I do love what they do. I would have respect for them and love to talk to them about their passion.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Porter Jr. for comment.
Pettis and Porter Jr., 27, dated from 2016 to 2017. Pettis is best known for getting her start as a child actress on Disney Channel. She most recently appeared in the rom-coms He’s All That and The Wrong Paris.
One year after their split, Porter Jr. was drafted by the Denver Nuggets. The forward won his first championship with the Nuggets in 2023. Two years later, Porter Jr. was traded to the Brooklyn Nets.
Porter Jr. has made headlines in recent years for his controversial dating comments. Last year, Porter Jr. shared that he would have the women he dated listen to polarizing podcaster Andrew Tate to see their reaction to his viewpoints. (Tate is best known for promoting masculinity and slamming feminism.)
“So, I’m not saying I’m a misogynist or anything, but I’ll throw on some Andrew Tate and see how they react,” Porter Jr. said during a 2025 episode of the “One Night with Steiny” podcast. “I’ll bring up, like, conversations and play devil’s advocate just to see how this girl, like, thinks about certain things.”
Porter Jr. also shared that he prefers to date women who have not been with another NBA star.
“I feel like if you dated like publicly, like a player, it would be hard just because of … it would be tough dating someone’s old girl and they just always have that over you,” he said on a September 2025 episode of his “Curious Mike” podcast. “It could be like an ego thing or like I don’t know … I’m open to change, I’m not stuck in my ways.”

Who Killed Calvin on Virgin River Before Charmaine’s Exit?
After waiting for over a year, viewers finally found out who died in the newest season of Virgin River.
The season 6 finale, which aired in December 2024, showed Jack (Martin Henderson) arriving at Charmaine’s (Lauren Hammersley) home, only to find a startling scene.
When the hit Netflix series returned for season 7 on Thursday, March 12, it was confirmed that Charmaine was kidnapped while Calvin (Josh Blacker) had been killed.
Charmaine was the main suspect since she was nowhere to be found. Brie (Zibby Allen), however, figured out that the mom of two was taken hostage and ultimately connected it back to Charmaine’s boss Grant (Alessandro Juliani).
Grant claimed he killed Calvin to protect Charmaine. He was ultimately arrested for murdering Calvin and abducting Charmaine.
“I knew somebody was dead, but I wasn’t sure who exactly it was until I knew what it would lead to,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told TV Line on Thursday. “I saw the potential in what the different [options] were, but I wanted to explore all the different choices to see which played best in the totality of the season.”

Smith called Calvin’s death a “convenient” way to end Calvin’s story. He noted that Calvin has “already come back from the dead and wants his children and has murdered people. [The actor was recast in season 6] as well, so it just felt like an opportunity to clean that out.”
Season 7 of Virgin River went through several cast changes. News broke on Thursday that Marco Grazzini won’t be returning as a series regular.
“Character departures are very common in this business — especially on a long-running and beloved series like Virgin River,” Grazzini, 45, who has been on the show since season 2, told Entertainment Weekly. “It’s been a wonderful opportunity to play Mike for six seasons.”
Grazzini said he has “nothing but love for the cast, crew and especially the phenomenal fans who make the show so special,” adding, “I’m excited for this new chapter in my career.”
In addition to Grazzini, Lauren Hammersley, who has been playing Charmaine since the show premiered on Netflix in 2019, is also not expected to come back. With the exception of Grazzini, the rest of Virgin River‘s season 7 series regulars are expected to return in season 8.
This isn’t the first time the show has gone through some changes behind the scenes. Grayson Gurnsey left as Ricky after season 4, and Mark Ghanimé, who played Cameron, had a surprising exit once season 6 was released.
Virgin River is currently streaming on Netflix.

3 Prime Video Shows Perfect for a Weekend Binge
March has already been a great month for Prime Video subscribers, as a brand-new screen adaptation of a classic literary tale has taken the streamer by storm. Able to overcome competition from the likes of Fallout Season 2 and the return of Ben Watkins‘ Cross, Young Sherlock, based on the young adult thriller novel series Young Sherlock Holmes by Andrew Lane, immediately topped the Prime Video streaming charts in the U.S. Boasting the burgeoning acting talent of Hero Fiennes Tiffin and the directing prowess of veteran Guy Ritchie, Young Sherlock is a hit. But for those who have already finished with their binge of the series, what should you watch next? To help you decide, here’s a look at three Prime Video shows you need to binge this weekend.
For more recommendations, check out our list of the best shows and movies on Prime Video.
1
‘Scarpetta’ (2026)
Rotten Tomatoes: 71% | IMDb: 5.7/10
The hottest new arrival on Prime Video this week is the perfect place to begin this list of recommendations. Scarpetta, based on Patricia Cornwell’s book series of the same name, follows the brilliant titular forensic pathologist, portrayed by Nicole Kidman, as she travels to various locations solving improbable crimes and puzzling mysteries using her detailed skillset.
Praised for “captivating” performances in Aidan Kelley‘s review for Collider, Scarpetta‘s biggest highlight has to be its star-studded cast. Kidman alone is enough to lead a series, but throw in the likes of Jamie Lee Curtis, Bobby Cannavale, Ariana DeBose, and Simon Baker, and a recipe for a streaming hit is born. Already rivaling Young Sherlock for the Prime Video crown, join the rest of the world in binge-watching Scarpetta.
2
‘A Small Light’ (2023)
Rotten Tomatoes: 100% | IMDb: 8.4/10
At a time when the world seems constantly frightening, this series is the perfect reminder that light pushes through even in the darkest times. A Small Light follows the life of Miep Gies (Bel Powley), a Dutch woman most famous for sheltering Anne Frank (Billie Boulet) during the Holocaust for more than two years.
To take such a powerful true story and turn it into eight phenomenal episodes is no easy task, but to do so with such delicate respect for the real people at its heart is even more remarkable. A Small Light is one of the best historical series of this decade and boasts a terrific selection of performances, led by Powley in a turn that earned her a Critics’ Choice Award nomination.
3
‘Clean Slate’ (2025)
Rotten Tomatoes: 87% | IMDb: 6.6/10
For something different this weekend, why not try a series that was cruelly cancelled way before its time? That series is Clean Slate, which follows Desiree Slate (Laverne Cox) as she returns to her hometown in Alabama to reunite with her estranged father, Harry (George Wallace). However, the last time Harry saw Desiree, she was living as a man.
As trans voices continue to be silenced, help this gem of a series let its voice be heard. There has been no official reason given for the show’s cancellation, and it doesn’t take a genius to see why a series like this could face the ax quicker than its contemporaries in a divisive political climate. A smart, funny sitcom with plenty of important stuff to say, don’t let Clean Slate pass you by.

This 27-Year-Old Brendan Fraser Fantasy Adventure Saga Is Storming Streaming Ahead of ‘The Mummy 4’
In just a few weeks, this Brendan Fraser-led action-adventure film will be returning to theaters for its 25th anniversary. But in the meantime, fans are revisiting this movie, especially after it was confirmed that he will be returning to the franchise, along with one of his most legendary co-stars. It seems fans are keen to see Fraser make another theatrical comeback, years after the movie’s debut.
Fraser began his acting career in 1990 and has since appeared in many projects, including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Rental Family, and a handful of DC projects, such as Titans and Doom Patrol. During his career resurgence in the 2020s, his performance in The Whale earned widespread recognition, including the Academy Award for “Best Actor” and nominations for “Best Actor in a Leading Role” at the BAFTAs and “Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama” at the Golden Globes. But before his career comeback, Fraser was already a recognized actor, and one of his projects is still a fan favorite to this day.
The Mummy and its sequel, The Mummy Returns, had a streaming comeback over the weekend, with The Mummy Returns placing at #2 on HBO Max’s Top Movies worldwide, between Jurassic World Rebirth and Alien, while The Mummy sat at #8, between Hulk and Locke. The Mummy franchise began in 1999 with a remake of the 1932 film of the same name, directed by Stephen Sommers. The trilogy stars Fraser as Rick O’Connell, an adventurer and treasure hunter, who must face a resurrected mummy determined to end the world. Both films found success after their theatrical releases, generating over $400 million each, and The Mummy received an Academy Award nomination for “Best Sound.” At the same time, the sequel earned four Saturn Award nominations, including “Best Fantasy Film.”

Is Brendan Fraser Returning To ‘The Mummy’ Franchise?
Ever since the release of the third installment of The Mummy franchise, The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor, Universal Pictures attempted to create a cinematic universe called the “Dark Universe,” with The Mummy leading the charge, starring Tom Cruise, but it was poorly received by fans and critics alike, and Lee Cronin’s The Mummy is set to enter theaters next month.
Recently, there was speculation that Fraser would return to The Mummy franchise, 17 years after the last film. And in 2025, those reports came true, as the actor will be reuniting with Rachel Weisz, who played the love interest, Evelyn Carnahan. According to the directors of The Mummy 4, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, they’ve reassured that Fraser and Weisz’s appearances aren’t “nostalgia bait” and that they want to be respectful of the previous films. However, it was reported that The Mummy 4 will not take into account the events of The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. While plot details for this movie are still under wraps, it was reported that production prep is scheduled to start in May and shooting is expected to begin in August.
The Mummy is available to stream on Hulu in the U.S. Meanwhile, The Mummy 4 is scheduled to come out in 2028. Follow Collider for more updates.

The Best Alien Movie in 38 Years Is Still Screaming Loud and Proud on Streaming
With box-office ceilings having dropped in recent years, movies that would have been expected to gross $1 billion worldwide now tap out at around $800 million. The biggest impact of this recession was felt by films such as Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania and Jurassic World Rebirth, which fell short of their respective predecessors by around 20%. However, a couple of years ago, one sci-fi movie exceeded expectations and delivered the second-biggest worldwide haul of its franchise. The movie not only proved to be a major box office hit, but has also done very well on home video. This streak continued recently, when it debuted on HBO Max in several overseas markets and promptly claimed the streamer’s global viewership crown.
The movie featured a cast including a handful of future stars such as Isabela Merced, Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, and others. It also served as something of a comeback for its director, who was coming off a failed franchise reboot — The Girl in the Spider’s Web. The movie in question earned positive reviews and was praised for returning the franchise to its horror roots. The franchise was launched over four decades ago by Ridley Scott, who served as one of the producers on the new film. Scott has maintained control of the franchise’s creative direction, having previously worked for several years on a new installment with District 9 director Neill Blomkamp set to helm. However, that project fell apart, and Blomkamp didn’t have the warmest words for his experience.
Strap on Your Hockey Masks; It’s Friday the 13th — The Collider Movie Quiz!
Because today is Friday the 13th, let’s march our way through the iconic slasher franchise. Ch-ch-ch-ch. Ha-ha-ha-ha.
Here’s the Sci-Fi Hit That Saved a Franchise in 2024
The movie in question, of course, is Fede Álvarez‘s Alien: Romulus, which resurrected the long-running Alien franchise after Scott’s Alien: Covenant underperformed in 2017. Romulus grossed $350 million at the worldwide box office in 2024, and was followed by Noah Hawley‘s acclaimed Hulu series Alien: Earth in 2025. A sequel to Romulus is in the works, although Álvarez has said that he will not return. Romulus earned mostly positive reviews and is now sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 80% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The website’s consensus reads, “Honoring its nightmarish predecessors while chestbursting at the seams with new frights of its own, Romulus injects some fresh acid blood into one of cinema’s great horror franchises.” Romulus made it to the number one spot on HBO Max before dropping down to a still respectable number five on the global HBO Max charts.

Jenelle Evans’ Son Allegedly Threatens Grandma Barbara W/ Gun
Sometimes the drama doesn’t stay on TV—it hits close to home. Reality star Jenelle Evans is facing a frightening situation off-screen as her 16-year-old son, Jace, has been placed in a mental health facility. The placement follows a serious incident involving his grandmother, Barbara Evans. Jenelle and her mother became household names after appearing on hit shows like ‘16 and Pregnant’ and ‘Teen Mom 2,’ where grandma often stepped in—even when unwanted—to care for Jace.

What Happened Between Jace And His Grandmother?
According to reports, the incident occurred on February 22 at Barbara Evans’ home in North Carolina. Authorities responded to what they described as a “troubled teen disturbance” after Barbara reportedly called 911. Sources tell TMZ that Jace allegedly pulled a gun on his grandmother, put it to his own head, and threatened both Barbara and himself. There were also concerns about possible substance use in the lead-up to the incident, with claims that Jace had been drinking and using drugs.
For context, Jace has been in his grandmother’s care since birth, when she took custody of him. Custody was returned to Janelle 13 years later, in 2023, per PEOPLE. It’s unclear why he remained with Barbara Evans after the legal change.
How Jenelle Is Handling The Situation
A spokesperson for Jenelle told Entertainment Weekly that the reality star is “still trying to find him the best [facility] to meet his needs.” Jenelle currently lives in Las Vegas and is a full-time mom to her other children: 11-year-old Kaiser with ex-boyfriend Nathan Griffith, and 9-year-old Ensley with ex-husband David Eason. Jace, her oldest, was conceived with her high school boyfriend Andrew Lewis.
Jace’s Next Steps Revealed
Jace is now receiving professional care at a mental health facility, though it’s unclear how long he will remain in treatment. Those close to the family say the focus is on his health and stability rather than public commentary. Furthermore, law enforcement confirmed the response to Barbara’s 911 call, but details remain limited. Both Jenelle and Barbara have not publicly commented on the situation beyond statements through representatives.
