There are some fashion finds so good that even celebrities can’t resist getting in on the trend — and that’s exactly the case with the Adidas Sambas. They’re an everyday shoe that has earned its spot as the everyday shoe. Hilary Duff wore them recently, and Taylor Swift is even a fan of the timeless style.

This OG shoe has been around for over 50 years. It came about thanks to a soccer game, where the sneaker performed well on icy patches, according to the Adidas website. Over the years, Sambas have been updated to introduce better features and functionality. It suddenly was no longer a soccer shoe but a fashionable, easy-to-style pick that both men and women gravitate toward.

Both Duff and Swift chose the classic black base with white stripes option, but there’s also the inverted colorway available. While the sneakers can be worn for cycling and light gym training, you’ll notice that many people wear them for casual wear and as part of their fashion choices. Duff wore her pair with sweatpants and a long-sleeve striped shirt, and Swift paired them with black shorts and a pink T-shirt. But you could easily wear them with a dress, leggings and anything in between.

Available in unisex sizes ranging from 4 men/5 women to 13.5 men/14.5 women, Sambas feature a leather upper with suede overlays. It has ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) insoles, which provide a lightweight, cushioned place for your foot. The rubber outsoles are particularly best suited for indoor surfaces.

There’s a reason that adidas Sambas have become such a popular everyday shoe. They have a way of making every outfit just a little bit cooler while offering lightweight comfort.

“These adidas Sambas are truly one of the best shoes you could get” a verified purchaser shared. “They feel soft and are cushioned and flexible, so they are perfect for daily wear. They are super stylish and work with basically any outfit — dressy, cute or casual.”

“I didn’t know what all the hype was behind this shoe before, but now I understand,” another happy shopper wrote. “As soon as I slipped these on, I became an instant fan. They’re lightweight and fit my feet like a glove. I wasn’t expecting them to be so comfortable despite having zero padding, cushioning or support on the inside.”

Duff and Swift are just two fans of Adidas Sambas, but they prove that they’re a shoe made for everyone, no matter what’s on the calendar for the day!

Kylie Jenner’s former assistant is finally opening up about the moment she knew it was time to walk away, and it wasn’t about money, fame, or burnout. 

Instead, it came down to something far more complicated: the blurred line between friendship and work. 

After spending years by Jenner’s side, traveling the world and living a high-profile lifestyle, Victoria Villarroel reached a turning point that forced her to choose between staying comfortable and stepping into something entirely her own.

Kylie Jenner’s Ex Assistant Says One Moment Changed Everything

After years of working closely with Kylie Jenner, Villarroel revealed that one seemingly small moment made her rethink everything.

Recalling the experience on her “Better Half” podcast, she shared per Page Six, “I remember like it was yesterday — this was year five,” before describing a casual exchange that highlighted how much their dynamic had shifted. 

When Jenner asked her to grab a laptop, Villarroel hesitated and joked about not wanting to go. “We were in the kitchen and [Jenner] was like, ‘Vic, I need my laptop, it’s upstairs,’ and I was like, ‘Oof, who’s gonna get that?’” she recalled.

“I said something crazy like, ‘Oof, that seems far, I don’t want to go get your laptop,’” she continued. That moment wasn’t just about the task; it reflected something deeper. 

“Obviously me and Kylie had a working relationship, but you can’t not get so close with a person you see every single day,” Villarroel explained.

Over time, that closeness blurred the boundaries of a professional role. “You know everything about them, you’re with them at all times — good or bad,” she added, pointing to how intense the relationship had become.

Jenner’s Ex-Assistant Realized The Job Was No Longer Professional

As her role evolved, Villarroel began to recognize that the relationship had shifted beyond a traditional employer-employee dynamic.

She described reaching a point where both she and Kylie Jenner silently understood things had changed. According to her, there was a mutual awareness that her time as an assistant was coming to an end.

Even so, making that decision wasn’t easy. “I remember being so nervous and thinking, ‘Am I making the right decision? What if I’m leaving the best job I could ever have?’” Villarroel admitted.

The pressure didn’t just come from within as people around her urged her to stay, reminding her it was a position many would dream of having. 

Still, she couldn’t ignore the feeling that it was time to move on.

Kylie Jenner’s Support Played A Key Role In Her Exit

Despite the emotional weight of leaving, Villarroel said Kylie Jenner handled the situation with understanding and support.

When she finally had the conversation about stepping away, the reality TV star reassured her that their relationship would remain intact. 

“She the most understanding person, she was like, ‘Oh my God, Vic, I want you to thrive and I’m going to be here supporting you and I love you so much,’” Villarroel shared.

That reaction helped ease the transition, reinforcing that their bond extended beyond work. 

Their continued closeness has been evident, with the pair still spending time together at events, including concerts and vacations.

Jenner’s Former Assistant Quit To Chase Her Own Goals

Villarroel left her position as Kylie Jenner’s personal assistant in 2020 after spending five years working alongside the billionaire.

During that time, she traveled extensively and was exposed to a high-profile lifestyle, building connections and gaining experience in the public eye. 

A source told the Daily Mail at the time, “Victoria wants to be an influencer in her own right and is focusing on that now.”

Despite leaving the job, there was no fallout between them. The source said, “Kylie and Victoria are still friends and close,” adding that Jenner supported her decision to move on. 

Villarroel also spoke about her exit on the “Girl Cult” podcast, explaining that while she valued the experience and relationship, she felt it was time to grow.

She said per the outlet, “After five years, it was a long time,” adding that she loved Jenner “with all my heart,” but wanted to step out on her own and figure out her next move.

Kylie Jenner Stayed Supportive As Villarroel Built Her Influencer Career

Even after quitting in 2020, Villarroel remained close to Kylie Jenner, with the pair continuing to spend time together at events and outings. 

She attended Jenner’s birthday trip to Italy and joined her for social gatherings, showing their bond remained strong beyond work.

At the same time, the 34-year-old began focusing on growing her Instagram presence, which had already reached over 900,000 followers. 

She used the platform to promote brands, including a swimwear collaboration with Lahana Swim, which Jenner supported by sharing on her own page.

Villarroel also shared that she was using her time to find direction by attending meetings, networking, and seeking inspiration. 

She explained she wanted to discover what truly made her happy and fulfilled.

HBO has proven over the years that it can churn out plenty of absolutely compelling thriller miniseries. Shows as varied as The Night Of, Sharp Objects, Mare of Easttown, and The Penguin have all earned critical acclaim and ardent fans. Each of these miniseries lasts just one season, but they are every bit as gripping as a long-running drama. Now, HBO’s newest miniseries, DTF St. Louis, has already earned an 88% score on Rotten Tomatoes and is gaining a devoted following who are becoming obsessed with the drama.

What Is ‘DTF St. Louis’ About?

A seven-part dark comedy created by Steven Conrad, DTF St. Louis follows the friendship between the straight-laced weatherman Clark Forrest (Jason Bateman) and the affable Floyd Smernitch (David Harbour). Clark seems to have it all, with a successful career and a sweet family, but his connection with Floyd and Floyd’s wife, Carol Love-Smernitch (Linda Cardellini) ends up threatening the perfect life he’s created for himself.

From the very first episode, it’s easy to get sucked into this triangle of characters, but the show expands from a simple tale of middle-aged friendship to a murder mystery when one of them turns up dead under extremely strange circumstances. Two detectives, Donoghue Homer (Richard Jenkins) and Jodie Plumb (Joy Sunday), arrive on the scene and discover that these seemingly normal suburban parents are actually hiding a whole host of secrets. Many of these secrets stem from Floyd and Clark joining a dating app called DTF St. Louis, where married couples are encouraged to have affairs. Each episode unfolds in a nonlinear way, with flashbacks to the beginning of the trio’s bond to the present-day murder investigation.

‘DTF St. Louis’ Features a Wild Plot and a Stellar Cast

DTF St. Louis, on the surface, seems to have a fairly innocuous premise, but as the action plays out, the twists and turns result in storytelling choices that create a surprising and unique narrative. The characters all have multiple layers, so that what you see on the surface becomes very different from who they are at their core, with several unreliable narrators that heighten the series’ tension. DTF St. Louis has plenty of dark themes, but the humor underlying many scenes gives the series an absurd sensibility. Plus, the storytelling decision to jump back and forth between time frames results in a thrilling pace that carries through each episode. You won’t want to wait for new episodes to find out how this mystery will resolve itself.

DTF St. Louis is a fascinating miniseries because it nails the balance between serious themes and sly humor, and this combination is executed brilliantly by a fantastic cast. Bateman brings all of his comedy background, a la Arrested Development, alongside his experience in dramas like Ozark, to create an enigma of a morally ambiguous character. Harbour, in a huge departure from Stranger Things, is a lovable hero who is trying to leave the world a better place than he found it. The true standout of the series is Cardellini, however, because each episode changes how we see Carol — is she a neglected housewife, or a manipulative femme fatale who is poised to get her way? Cardellini brings a magnetism and darker energy to the character that makes DTF St. Louis even more intriguing. Jenkins and Sunday are equally interesting in their detective roles, and Peter Sarsgaard has a fun, smaller performance as a man that Floyd meets through the dating app.

DTF St. Louis might have fallen flat without such a stellar cast, but luckily, Conrad’s insightful and inventive writing and directing allow this twisted story to flourish. As a viewer, you’ll desperately want to find out who’s responsible for the murder and how it came to pass, but you’ll also stay glued to your screen simply to learn more about how this friendship ended so tragically. Because this is a one-and-done limited series, most of our questions will probably be answered by the finale, but it’s going to be a wild ride to the ending.

DTF St. Louis is available to stream on HBO Max in the U.S. New episodes drop every Sunday.

A director from the Yellowstone spinoff Marshals is defending the show’s decision not to explain Monica’s shocking offscreen death.

“This is why it didn’t strike me as a pilot. There was no exposition about Monica’s death in the pilot,” Greg Yaitanes, who directed the series premiere, recently told Collider about the introduction to the CBS show.

The plan was to not get into detail about what happened to Monica (Kelsey Asbille).

“It was exactly what it would be like a year or two after the death of the character,” he continued. “You would be talking about the circumstances around it vs. talking about the thing.”

Yellowstone‘s spinoff Marshals killed off Kelsey Asbille‘s character Monica, but what was the reason for her onscreen death? The Sunday, March 1, episode of Luke Grimes‘ new CBS show revealed that Kayce Dutton’s wife previously died after she got cancer as a result of toxins dumped onto the Broken Rock reservation. Amid a strong reaction […]

Yaitanes expressed gratitude to Asbille, adding, “What was really important was that we had her picture for the protest, and she was lovely to give us permission for that. That was a really critical piece to that scene. That’s what I thought that scene was about.”

Paramount Network’s Yellowstone, which aired from 2018 to 2024, introduced Us to Kayce (Luke Grimes) and his wife, Monica, who remained at the center of the show until the finale. After teaching at a local school on the Broken Rock Indian Reservation, Monica went on to become a professor at Montana State University while navigating life with Kayce, who moved them back to the Yellowstone Ranch following his past tension with dad John (Kevin Costner).

Following John’s death, Kayce, a former U.S. Navy SEAL, became the new owner and operator of the Yellowstone Ranch. Kayce and Monica ended the show alive — and were still together — before Marshals began.

When the series premiered in March, however, fans learned Monica died after battling cancer.

“My first question when I got the scripts, as I was reading them, was, ‘How are they going to undo Kayce’s happy ending?’ He really had a beautiful finish at the end of Yellowstone proper,” Yaitanes explained. “And I was really moved to see, ‘OK, life has gone in another direction.’ I almost feel like [episode 2] is really the pilot, and [the pilot] was the bridge between Yellowstone and Marshals.”

Yaitanes called the second episode “the show you’re going to be watching.”

“Immediately, being a single dad to a son, which was something I could personally connect to, having been a single dad at various times in my life, I felt that the way it was handled and the humanity in which it was handled was really beautiful, and I wanted to be part of it,” he shared.

Showrunner Spencer Hudnut has also addressed the decision to kill off Monica.

“Kayce had such a perfect ending in Yellowstone,” he told TVLine in March. “His dreams had finally come true. As we were trying to figure out how to tell the next chapter in Kayce’s story, it felt like he really needed to be shaken out of that. Unfortunately, tragedy tends to find Kayce, so something bad was going to happen for him one way or the other. It just sort of played out that it was going to be Monica.”

Hudnut said Monica’s death will continue to drive Kayce, adding, “To me, Monica is really guiding Kayce through this first episode, trying to help him find his new path. And if you actually break it down, Tate is at that rally to honor his mother, and Kayce goes there to protect Tate. So if not for Monica, Kayce never would have been in that position and may not have found this path.”

He concluded: “We really wanted to be respectful of the way that we said goodbye to her. I also didn’t want to step on the ending of Yellowstone, because what they had was a beautiful ending. Unfortunately, real life intervened.”

Marshals airs on CBS Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

Robert Pattinson is gearing up for the release of his latest film, “The Drama,” in which he stars alongside Zendaya. Recently, at the premiere of the new movie, he opened up about the long-awaited sequel to 2022’s “The Batman,” which has been in the works for several years.

Robert Pattinson Says Production On ‘The Batman Part 2’ Will Begin Soon

Warner Bros. first greenlit “The Batman Part 2” in April 2022 with Matt Reeves set to return as the director and Pattinson once again playing the character. However, the film faced several delays and, until recently, repordadly didn’t have a script.

Recently, Pattinson spoke to Deadline and gave an update on the highly anticipated film. He said, “The script is extraordinary, and I think it’s gonna be like a really, really special movie and very, very different, even from the last one.”

The actor went on to call the script “interesting,” noting that the movie will “take some big swings.” Pattinson was then asked if production had started, to which he said, “No, a couple of months.”

The Movie Has An Official Release Date

It’s not uncommon for studios to push back the release of movies. However, many have been dismayed by the long wait, given the success of “The Batman” and the positive reaction to Pattinson as the character.

Originally, “The Batman Part 2” was slated to be released on October 3, 2025. The release date was later changed to October 2026, and now fans can expect to see the yet-to-be filmed movie on October 3, 2027. Of course, it should be noted that the film was also disrupted by the 2023 Hollywood strikes.

Regarding production, Variety reported in April 2025 that production would begin in Spring 2026, which is roughly in line with Pattinson’s update to Deadline.

Fans Are Excited About ‘The Batman Part 2’ But Also Nervous

For the most part, there is still general excitement about “The Batman Part 2.” One person reacted to Pattinson’s update, saying, “Best live action Batman in my opinion.” Another person wrote, “I have a feeling this is gonna be the best Batman movie ever.”

Someone else said, “Production hasn’t even started?? lmaoo.” A different TikTok user then threw out an unwanted scenario, writing, “Imagine they pulled a ‘Joker 2’ and made it a musical.”

Lastly, a different fan brought up the long wait, stating, “Uh, no, a couple months? Brother, we’ve been waiting four years for a Batman movie.” Still, overall, most people have faith that “The Batman Part 2” will live up to the first, especially with Reeves directing.

Robert Pattinson Recently Hinted That He’s Married

Pattinson began dating actress and singer Suki Waterhouse in 2018. They then announced that they were expecting their first child in November of 2023. After that, an insider confirmed to PEOPLE in December that they had gotten engaged.

The source said, “They are engaged. They both want to be married. It’s important for them. He’s so ready. His relationship with Suki is incredible. He feels very lucky.”

More recently, in March 2026, Pattinson and Zendaya gave a joint interview with Extra to promote “The Drama.” During it, they were both asked the biggest secret they’ve been able to keep. This led Zendaya to play coy about rumors she secretly married Tom Holland.

After that, Pattinson said, “It’s the same one that you have,” again, referring to Zendaya’s alleged secret marriage to Holland and hinting that he and Waterhouse had tied the knot.

Pattinson Has Several Movies On The Horizon

Pattinson may have made a name for himself with the “Twilight” franchise, but he’s become a bona fide movie star aside from the vampire flicks. Now, ahead of production on “The Batman Part 2,” he has several already completed films on the horizon. Up first is “The Drama,” which arrives in movie theaters on April 3.

After that, he will appear in Christoper Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” which will be released on July 17. Notably, his “The Drama” co-star is also one of the film’s leads. Per IMDb, his other 2026 film with an official release date is “Dune: Part 3,” which Warner Bros. is releasing on December 18. This will be the first “Dune” movie to feature Pattinson.

Pattinson will also star in “Here Comes the Flood.”

Chapped lips are the bane of my existence every winter. Bethenny Frankel feels the same way, and she just revealed the genius plumper (yes, lip plumper) that keeps her pout “smooth, hydrated and kissable” all season long.

On a recent edition of Bethenny’s List, Frankel said she can’t stop using the RoC Derm Correxion Lip Volumizer, and it does much more than simply plump lips. “This gives a soft, natural plump without the sticky gloss or overdone look. It’s the kind of product you throw on and instantly feel better,” Frankel said.

From my nearly 10-year career in the beauty industry, I’ve learned that many lip plumpers can feel rather irritating. However, new ingredients have transformed the category with fresh, elevated formulas that nourish your pout while also increasing volume.

RoC Derm Correxion Lip Volumizer utilizes hyaluronic acid filling spheres that bind water to your lips. More moisture naturally results in a plumper look, sans stinging. Add in some pro-collagen peptides to minimize lip wrinkles, and you have a soft, smooth, very kissable pout.

An additional benefit of this lip plumper is the included SPF 30. We often forget that lips are skin, too, and need to be shielded from the sun to prevent them from drying out.

As for the plumping effect, well, some Amazon shoppers say friends have inquired if they’ve gotten lip injections after using this regularly.

“I had been on the fence for a few months on whether this lip treatment would be worth it. How can it be that much better than others? I don’t know how, but it is,” one reviewer wrote. “Such a hydrating and plumping formula that actually lasts!! I have had two coworkers ask me if I had my lips done since using it regularly (2x a day). If you are thinking about this product, trust me you will love it!”

A shocking video from the night of Taylor Frankie Paul‘s 2023 arrest has just surfaced online. Paul has been the center of attention this week after reports revealing that she was involved in another alleged domestic dispute with her ex-boyfriend, Dakota Mortensen, made headlines. Social media users have also shared their disappointment, slamming Paul for her alleged repeated behavior.

Taylor Frankie Paul Is Shown Striking Dakota Mortensen, Throwing Metal Chairs At Him During A 2023 Incident

TMZ has just released shocking video footage of Paul striking her ex, Mortensen, during a 2023 incident. For those who may be unfamiliar, Paul pled guilty to aggravated assault that year after Utah police were called to her residence following a dispute with Mortensen.

CBS News reported that the argument began after Mortensen tried to leave the residence following an argument with Paul. The “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star was then accused of throwing “several heavy, metal chairs” at him, one of which reportedly hit her 5-year-old daughter in the head.

In the video released, Paul is seen hitting Mortensen, kicking him, pulling his hair, and attempting to knock his phone out of his hand. At another point, Paul throws two chairs at him.

Another user said, “There’s no amount of interviews that she can give that will erase this video. Hearing her baby cry is heartbreaking.”

According to PEOPLE, a Draper City Police Department spokesperson said there was an open “domestic assault investigation” involving the former couple.

The spokesperson went on to say that both parties have made allegations and refused to offer further information.

The news of Paul’s second alleged altercation with Mortensen has also put a dark cloud over the upcoming season of “Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.”

Paul Speaks Out About Allegations, Says It Has Impacted Her ‘Bachelorette’ Premiere

Paul broke her silence after the news of her alleged domestic dispute with Mortensen surfaced, stating she was heartbroken by the ongoing drama.

“Just the timing is hard, and it’s a big deal,” she said.

Paul, who is also gearing up for the premiere of her season of ABC’s “Bachelorette,” went on to say that the news has also impacted the rollout of that show, which is “extremely hard.”

“It’s just heavy. It’s a heavy time, and it’s unfortunate,” she said. “I’m struggling for sure, but also at the same time I feel like if I don’t show up, then I’m just giving these opportunities away and not enjoying what we’ve worked on and something super exciting that’s coming. I just feel like it was the right thing to do… show up even though it’s hard.”

Paul’s alleged dispute has also unnerved some big-time sponsors, specifically Cinnabon, which said its company was backing out of its collaboration with “The Bachelorette” and “SLOMW” due to the claims.

“Cinnabon has made the decision to terminate its collaboration with ‘The Bachelorette’ and ‘The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,’” a spokesperson said, per The Blast. “Recent developments and allegations surrounding the lead cast member led us to reassess this collaboration as it no longer aligns with our brand values.”

Mortensen Also Breaks His Silence

Mortensen also broke his silence on his alleged dispute with Paul, according to The Blast. A representative for the TV personality said his only focus was on protecting his and Paul’s child, Ever.

The rep explained that Mortensen felt the news of their alleged altercation would surface; however, he wanted to keep as much of it private as possible.

“He kind of just lets it all happen to him, and I think he realizes with the severity of everything now that he just can’t do that,” they finished.
