Kate Walsh Reveals If Addison Will Return to Grey’s Anatomy
Kate Walsh weighed in on another potential return to Grey’s Anatomy after Addison came back to drop a major bombshell about the state of her marriage.
“It was never up to me where Addison’s story wrapped up. So coming back was like going home for the holidays,” Walsh, 58, exclusively told Us at the Centrum Inside and Outside Makeover Salon Experience on Thursday, August 13, in New York City. “I love going back and it had been enough time that I was like, ‘OK, I’ve got to do lots of other things [since then].”
Walsh, who originated the role of Addison when the show premiered in 2005, hinted she wouldn’t mind “popping in and out” of the hit medical drama.
“Initially when I went back, Krista Vernoff was running the show then and now it’s Meg Marinis, who is doing an incredible job,” she gushed. “We talked about this very powerful women’s health story line and I was like, ‘Great. Sign me up.’”
The actress was thrilled to return for an important episode, saying, “I do think that one of the great things that that medical shows do — particularly with Grey’s Anatomy and in Shondaland — is being able to address these incredibly powerful issues, social issues and political issues.”
She continued: “People can connect and maybe grow and change their minds and become attached to these characters and listen to them through their hardships and feel like they’re identified too. They can feel seen and heard.”
Walsh returned in a January episode of Grey’s Anatomy where Addison paid a visit to Amelia (Caterina Scorsone) to assist with a pregnant patient who was suffering from a tumor that affected her sight. In an effort to get Amelia to scrub back in, Addison revealed that her marriage to husband Jake (Benjamin Bratt) might be over.

Addison refused to share any more details about their issues, but Amelia eventually convinced her to open up. Addison said Jake was forcing her to choose between their marriage and her career — and she chose the latter.
Addison and Amelia talked over her options before realizing the relationship likely couldn’t be saved. They ended the episode bonding at Amelia’s apartment, but it remains to be seen what Addison will do about her personal life.
“It’s always a possibility [that Addison could return],” Walsh teased to Us. “Never say never.”
After Us brought up the strong reactions to Addison’s revelation, Walsh said she didn’t know how invested fans would be in the state of her character’s marriage.
“I didn’t think about that. I went back and I was like, ‘Wait, what’s my son’s name again? How old is he?’” she quipped. “But it’s good that people have strong reactions to the show.”
Outside of the world of Grey’s Anatomy, Walsh is keeping herself busy with a multitude of opportunities. She also found time to work with Centrum to promote healthy aging.
“There’s a lot of pressure in Hollywood to stay the same, but that’s just madness. It just doesn’t work,” she told Us. “It’s like a recipe for self-flagellation or feeling bad. So I want to look my best — obviously — and for myself, too. But it is odd to see [the conversations around aging in Hollywood].”
Walsh discussed how she has added Centrum vitamins into her everyday wellness routine.
“I really didn’t get into serious supplements until probably my mid-30s, around the time that Centrum Age Defy would be great. Why I like Centrum Silver is it’s great for brain health,” she noted. “It’s great for brain function and heart health and eyes. These are things that as you age and get into your 50s become more prevalent and necessary than say they would when you’re younger. … Centrum vitamins are clinically proven and have been doing this for a very long time. There are so many things out there that this is quite comforting.”

Courtney Clenney Allegedly Targeted Over Christian Obumseli
Courtney Clenney is allegedly being targeted by inmates inside a Miami-Dade prison over the killing of her boyfriend, Christian Obumseli. In addition, her lawyer claims that most of the inmates are Black women.

Courtney Clenney Allegedly Targeted In Prison By Inmates
Former OnlyFans model Courtney Clenney is currently a guest at the Miami-Dade Corrections & Rehabilitation Center in Gladeview, Florida. This, after she fatally stabbed Christian in
2022.
Prieto claimed that the inmates shoved Clenney and stated, “You killed your boyfriend… I’m gonna f*ck you up.”
The lawyer also says that Clenney was transferred several times within the Miami-Dade jail due to threats, and now has her own single cell. Additionally, he claimed that she felt her life had been in danger at times.
Clenney Has Her Own Jail Cell
Clenney reportedly has a lot of freedom in jail and is now being housed away from the general population in the Miami-Dade jail. She has her own cell equipped with a toilet and sink.
In addition, she can leave her cell to shower, have recreation, see a lawyer, eat meals, and have video calls with family.
Clenney is being transferred to another jail to serve the remainder of her sentence. The 30-year-old killer accepted a plea deal, and her second-degree murder charge was downgraded to manslaughter. Clenney was sentenced to six years with time served. She was previously facing a life sentence, and now, she may get out in two years due to her time served.
Chenney Fatally Stabbed Christian
The Shade Room previously reported that Chenney fatally stabbed Christian on April 3, 2022, inside their Miami condo. She claimed to be a victim of emotional, physical, and mental abuse by Obumseli and argued self-defense.
Chenney wasn’t immediately arrested despite being found covered in blood by the police. She was later arrested at a substance abuse rehab facility in Hawaii and charged with second-degree murder with a deadly weapon.
Audio recordings on Christian’s phone captured Chenney calling him the n-word repeatedly and threatening to slap him. In addition, TMZ released footage from 2021 of the killer beginning a physical fight with Christian in an elevator.
Christian is seen trying to keep her off as she repeatedly lunges at him. After she swung at him, he shoved her away. Clenney also punched Christian’s head and pulled his hair, and continued as he exited the elevator.

NLE Choppa Calls Out Pooh Shiesty & NBA YoungBoy
NLE Choppa is back to dropping new music as he enters a new era. During this time, he’s also been navigating his spiritual journey and rumors. As of last week, NLE has also been dealing with his public breakup from Erica Raven.
On Friday, NLE revealed that he got baptized and shared a message about entering a new chapter in his life. He said Christ is still working on him, but he feels ready to embrace this new version of himself. NLE also addressed alleged “witches & warlocks,” voodoo, hexes, and spells that he claims were sent his way. He said God allowed those experiences to happen to strengthen him throughout his spiritual journey.
In the same post, NLE also had a few things to say about some of his fellow rappers. He got a few things off his chest in a new freestyle while addressing his influence in the rap game.

NLE Choppa Has A Message For Pooh Shiesty As He Gets A Few Things Off His Chest In Latest Freestyle
NLE Choppa took to his IG Story to share a clip from his latest freestyle with the LA Leakers. He spat a few bars about people speaking on his name, saying, “I’ll be the one to hurt you. Stop playing on my name… all love, I’m not trying to start hating. Got my name in conversation, pillow talking like a baby. Where the G’s? We address it. It’s a message, I direct it. If you can’t respect it, make sure you don’t disrespect me.”
In the same post, NLE tagged Pooh Shiesty, who is currently incarcerated, writing, “@poohshiesty showed way too much love to you for you to be pillow talking on my name TO A FEMALE. Imma show you how to be direct homie. Free you tho tell 30 hit me up.”
This seems to come after an alleged phone call surfaced in early July, where Pooh Shiesty reportedly called NLE Choppa gay. The alleged call surfaced amid reports that Marissa Da’Nae, who shares a son with NLE, is allegedly expecting a baby girl with Pooh Shiesty.
But NLE didn’t stop there. While sharing another clip from the freestyle, he made it clear he’s stepping into a new era, writing, “IM BACK AND WHOEVER AGAINST TS F*** EM #NLEVSEVERYBODY.” NLE also showed some love to his ex-fiancée Erica, writing, “Te amo Erica forever & ever.”
NBA YoungBoy & Pooh Shiesty Catch Strays As NLE Choppa Speaks On His Influence In The Music Industry
The rapper later made his way to his page to celebrate his baptism, sharing a carousel of photos with individual captions. The carousel featured NLE, his youngest son, Icon Potts, his chain, his new wick locs, and more.
In one post, NLE spoke about his influence on other artists while mentioning both Pooh Shiesty and NBA YoungBoy. He claimed Shiesty’s chain resembles his and accused YoungBoy of taking inspiration from his camo aesthetic.
NLE also credited himself with influencing younger artists to prioritize owning their masters while reflecting on his success at a young age.
He wrote, “IM HYMM, The one they wanna be, the one they copy, ni**as ain’t have a Momager & Popager til I came on the scene. Shiesty That Chain Look real close to mine, YB ran off my camo aesthetic after I sent it to em, I’m the reason these boys of this generation wanna own they masters ‘I wanna NLE CHOPPA DEAL’ 16 I was 10Ms up first car was a Cullinan truck while yall was riding hemis & scats n sh*t man do yo homework on my influence I can write a book about it but that’s enough ego.”
NLE continued by showing off his new wick locs while claiming YoungBoy previously copied his loc style. Despite the callout, he said it was “all love” and explained that he was simply shedding light on his influence.
He wrote, “Pleaseeeee don’t copy my Wick Locs PLEASE. YB already ran off with my locs style I had to switch it up this go round. All love though just shedding light on my influence. Light it up. Do ya homework before saying I’m clout chasing or lying. The real ones know.”
Social Media Weighs In
Many gathered under The Shade Room Teens as they reacted to NLE Choppa’s latest post. While some gave him props for his rapping skills, others questioned why he was specifically coming for Pooh Shiesty and NBA YoungBoy.
Instagram user @theylovekyraaa wrote, “He must be mad bout Marissa”

Anya Taylor-Joy’s Luck Refuses to Run Out on the Streaming Charts
Five years after she became a household name thanks to The Queen’s Gambit, which remains one of Netflix’s most-watched original shows, Anya Taylor-Joy is back at the forefront of a new limited series that’s doing phenomenally well on another streamer. In the years since her breakout role, Taylor-Joy starred in an ill-fated superhero movie that was dumped in theaters when nobody was paying attention; she voiced a major character in a film franchise that has grossed more than $2 billion globally; and attempted to headline a franchise of her own with Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga. The results were decidedly mixed, especially on the live-action front. But Taylor-Joy appears to have found success in the form of a new series on Apple TV, the same streamer that released her hit sci-fi romance film The Gorge last year.
Also featuring Miles Teller, The Gorge defied mediocre reviews to emerge as one of Apple TV’s rare breakout hits. The streamer rarely makes an appearance on the Nielsen charts, but it did so with The Gorge, and more recently, with the fourth season of its flagship comedy series Ted Lasso. Later this year, Taylor-Joy will appear in a prominent supporting role in Denis Villeneuve‘s hotly anticipated trilogy-capper Dune: Part Three. Her character was teased at the end of Dune: Part Two, which grossed more than $700 million at the worldwide box office a couple of years ago.
Anya Taylor-Joy’s New Show Received Positive Reviews
But we’re talking about the Apple TV crime series Lucky. Created by Jonathan Tropper, who previously spearheaded the fellow Apple TV hit Your Friends & Neighbors, Lucky follows an ex-con who is forced to undertake one last job in an effort to turn a new leaf. The premise shares similarities with that of the third season of HBO’s Euphoria, which aired earlier this year and received divisive reviews. Lucky also features Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Drew Starkey, and Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, and is currently sitting at a “Certified Fresh” 79% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. The site’s consensus reads, “Anya Taylor-Joy is Lucky in an entertaining bit of thrilling fare that often promises more than it can deliver but never lets the audience down when it comes to action and intrigue.” According to FlixPatrol, Lucky has now spent over a month on the domestic Apple TV viewership chart, despite competition from holdover hits and several returning titles. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Frankie Valli Addresses Brother’s Comments About Retirement
UPDATE 8/14/26 at 5:53 p.m. ET — Frankie Valli has no current plans to retire despite his brother Bobby Valli’s comments to the contrary.
“He is not retired. This is false,” Frankie’s longtime rep, Victoria Varela, told Variety on Friday, August 14.
Frankie further assured fans that he had not yet hung up his microphone in a follow-up social media statement, writing, “In spite of what you might have heard, I am not retired.”
Original story continues below:
Legendary Four Seasons frontman Frankie Valli is ready to retire, according to the singer’s brother.
“My brother Frankie, whom I am so proud of and love him dearly,” Bobby Valli wrote via Facebook on Thursday, August 13. “He has had a wonderful life; a dream come true. He is an incredible singer, has had a magnificent career in music. [Frankie is] an icon, a living legend [and] he has millions of fans who love him dearly.”
Bobby continued, “He is now 92 [years] old. In his illustrious career, he has sold over 100 million records [and been inducted into the Rock and Roll] Hall of Fame. He has been performing for six decades. He will now retire.”
Frankie has not publicly addressed his musical future himself. Us has reached out for comment.
“We will always have special memories of Frankie Valli,” Bobby continued on Thursday. “He has reached a place in his life where his family is there to love, cherish and to be there for him. We appreciate your love and concern.”
Just three months earlier, Frankie canceled the remainder of his concerts this year to “focus on [his] health.”
“I’m so sorry to disappoint the folks who have purchased tickets to my shows, but I have decided to take the rest of the year off from touring to focus on my health,” he wrote in a May statement shared via social media. “I’m looking forward to getting healthy and seeing you all again soon. Thank you for all your good wishes.”
Frankie’s longtime publicist, Victoria Varela, later explained why the singer had opted to cancel his shows instead of postpone the performances to a later date.
“Promoters want to prolong things and not give people their money back, but he needs to not keep rescheduling these shows,” Valera told Variety that same month. “He realized he needed to take a break and get his health in order, and that is the true issue — he wants to get better without prolonging, through the rescheduling process, the pain of people who’ve bought these tickets.”
Frankie and the Four Seasons had previously rescheduled shows initially set for April that are now canceled entirely. Frankie, who has not further detailed his apparent health concerns, had been performing with the Four Seasons since they cofounded the group in 1960.
“You should be doing it out of the fact that you love, and it and it’s the most important thing in your life,” Frankie said of performing in a February interview with Danny Zelisko. “If I had not become successful, I’d probably still be working in some little bar. I love music that much.”
Frankie’s decision to retire comes nearly two years after he was forced to address fans who had expressed concerns about him performing lethargically and seemingly lip-synching.
“I get a chuckle from the comments wondering if someone [is] forcing me to go on stage,” he told People in September 2024. “Nobody has ever made me do anything I didn’t want to do.”

Matthew McConaughey’s First Role Helped Catch A Killer
Matthew McConaughey has had plenty of memorable roles throughout his decades-long career, but his first on-screen appearance is particularly unexpected. Before his rise to fame, the actor appeared on “Unsolved Mysteries,” taking part in the reenactment of a crime and helping catch a killer a few weeks after the episode aired.

Matthew McConaughey’s career has taken him from rom-com hearththrob to acclaimed dramatic actor. Before nabbing those major credits, however, the actor had to start somewhere.
On August 14, McConaughey was presented the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award at the Filmland film festival in Arkansas. Before the screening of his latest project, “The Rivals of Amziah King,” the actor spoke about his career, and his first-ever on-screen role was brought up.
While his breakout role was in 1993’s “Dazed and Confused,” not many people know that he appeared in an episode of the series “Unsolved Mysteries” just a year prior.
“I’m gonna toot my own horn a little bit. The ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ episode I did? They caught the guy weeks later – based on what I did,” McConaughey joked, per Variety.
The Actor Portrayed A Slain Marine
McConaughey portrayed Larry Dean Dickens in Season 5, Episode 13 of “Unsolved Mysteries,” which originally aired in December 1992.
Dickens, a 26-year-old former Marine, was mowing his mother’s lawn when he overheard her on the phone reporting a man exposing himself to young girls. He confronted Edward Harold Bell and took the keys from Bell’s ignition to prevent him from fleeing before authorities arrived. Bell then pulled out a gun and fatally shot Dickens multiple times when he refused to return the keys.
“I was the guy who got shot while mowing my mother’s grass,” McConaughey said in past interviews.
Bell, who had been on the run for 14 years before his case was highlighted in “Unsolved Mysteries,” was recognized by a viewer and alerted authorities. He was arrested soon after the episode aired and died in prison in 2019.
Matthew McConaughey’s Acting ‘Has Come A Long Way’

In 2023, the documentary “Unsolved Mysteries: Behind the Legacy” was released in lieu of the show’s 35th anniversary. In it, one of the producers said McConaughey’s episode was shot in the summer in Texas, which prompted the director to tell the then-unknown actor that he could take his shirt off despite no need for it in the scene.
Looking back at the reenactment, the producer said, “Matthew McConaughey had to do a fairly robust death scene. He was working in his garage, and he was shot by a man who pulled up with a shotgun. Let’s just say… his acting has come a long way since then.”
At that time, McConaughey was studying film at the University of Texas, and “Unsolved Mysteries” held a casting call. “Matthew showed up, and he was cast. The director could have easily cast someone else,” the show’s co-creator, Terry Dunn Meurer, told The Dallas Morning News.
The Actor Got His Breakout Role Months After His ‘Unsolved Mysteries’ Appearance
McConaughey’s breakout role came as David Wooderson in “Dazed and Confused,” where he delivered the iconic “Alright, alright, alright,” a line that became synonymous with the actor.
In an episode of “Bear Grylls Is Running Wild,” the actor discussed his “Unsolved Mysteries” role and jokingly said he figured he did “a decent job” because the fugitive was caught. As for the Wooderson role, McConaughey said that he was just at the right bar, at the right time.
The majority of the movie was shot in Austin, Texas, and a bartender he knew alerted him that filmmakers were in town to shoot a movie. McConaughey introduced himself to Don Phillips, the casting director, and he was given the chance to read for a part.
Writer and director Richard Linklater was hesitant to cast McConaughey at first because he was “too handsome” to portray the sleazy character. However, the aspiring actor won him over during auditions and even wrote more scenes for him.

After “Dazed and Confused,” McConaughey landed more roles and established himself as a Hollywood star in just a few years. His first major leading role was as lawyer Jake Brigance in the 1996 drama, “A Time to Kill,” based on the John Grisham novel.
In the years following, he appeared in “Contact,” “Amistad,” and “The Newton Boys,” and later appeared in back-to-back romcoms including “The Wedding Planner,” “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” “Failure to Launch,” and “Fool’s Gold.”
After a hiatus from acting, the actor transitioned to more dramatic roles. McConaughey has received multiple Emmy nominations for his role in “True Detective” and won a Best Actor Oscar for his portrayal of Ron Woodroof in “Dallas Buyers Club.”

Alan Ritchson’s ‘Reacher’ Only Needed 2 Days to Officially Reclaim Prime Video’s Throne
With Zendaya, Tom Holland, and Robert Pattinson having a great year in theaters, and Matt Damon and Jon Bernthal delivering hits across mediums, Alan Ritchson has further cemented himself among the foremost stars on streaming. In January, he headlined the Netflix sci-fi action movie War Machine, which emerged as one of the streamer’s biggest original films of all time with around 150 million views. A sequel to the movie was announced when it broke into Netflix’s all-time top 10 list. In the subsequent weeks, Ritchson enjoyed the sustained streaming popularity of The Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare, the period action movie directed by Guy Ritchie and also featuring Henry Cavill. In July, Netflix revived the 2024 faith-based movie Ordinary Angels, which holds a 98% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes. And now, Ritchson is back doing what he does best.
This past weekend saw his return as Lee Child‘s hulking hero Jack Reacher in the fourth season of Prime Video’s Reacher series. Ritchson began playing the character in 2022, and the show’s success catapulted him to overnight stardom. Following Reacher‘s first season, Ritchson bagged roles in major movies such as Fast X and the recently released Motor City. Reacher‘s success can be attributed to a much-needed thumbs-up from the property’s core fanbase, which felt let down by the two theatrical Jack Reacher films headlined by Tom Cruise. Positive critical reception has no doubt played a huge part as well.
‘Reacher’ Replaced Major Holdover Hits to Reclaim the Prime Video Titles
Reacher holds an overall 95% critics’ score on Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus for the fourth season reads, “Reacher maintains its formula for maximum entertainment, serving more brawn, enough narrative brains, and always the right amount of Alan Ritchson to keep the operation up and running for seasons to come.” It didn’t take long for the show to reclaim the Prime Video viewership crown after having spent more than 200 days on the streamer’s top-10 chart between seasons. According to FlixPatrol, Reacher is the number-one show on Prime Video both domestically and worldwide, having replaced the holdover hits Sterling Point and Off Campus. It has been a particularly packed month for the show’s target audience of older men, with Taylor Sheridan‘s Lioness having returned with a third season on Paramount+ recently. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.
