The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Jessi Draper is reflecting on her now-viral kiss with costar Chase McWhorter.

“It was awful. I mean, it wasn’t an awful kiss, that sounded bad, but it was just an awful situation,” Draper, 33, said on the Thursday, May 14, episode of Hulu’s “Get Real” podcast, noting the kiss happened “one time” at a party. “The thing with Chase is we had a connection, and I was in a vulnerable state and he was really there for me after [my] divorce.”

She continued, “Honestly, it was kind of like MomTok was falling apart during that time. This was right when all the news was breaking, and none of the girls were really talking. I was leaning on him, which was the wrong idea. I had just left Jordan [Ngatikaura] and my emotions were so heightened. We were drunk.”

Us Weekly confirmed in March that Draper and McWhorter, 31, briefly kissed during a mutual friend’s party. Draper was newly separated from Ngatikaura, 28, at the time. Chase, meanwhile, was previously married to Draper’s Mormon Wives costar Miranda McWhorter.

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Chase McWhorter spilled all the details on what really went down between him and Jessi Draper. “We just kissed,” McWhorter, 30, said of him and Draper, 33, during the Tuesday, April 7, episode of Harry Jowsey’s “Boyfriend Material” podcast. “That one got spun out of control, but we just […]

“I screwed that up, and I’m Team Miranda, I just have to say,” Draper said on Thursday, revealing where she stands with Miranda, 28, after the incident. “We haven’t talked about [the kiss] really.”

According to Draper, both she and Chase instantly “regretted” locking lips.

“He’s really, really great,” Draper added of Chase, noting Miranda would likely say the same. “He’s a good guy. He is the best at giving advice, and I think I was just in the wrong place in time to feel vulnerable to that. It was both of us. We both regretted it, said sorry.”

Draper further stressed that she and Chase told Miranda about their antics “the next morning,” two weeks before sending her fellow MomTokker a floral arrangement apology.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives’ Miranda Hope McWhorter is speaking out after Us Weekly exclusively confirmed that costar Jessi Draper kissed her ex-husband, Chase McWhorter. “I knew there had been communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent,” Miranda, 27, said in a statement to Entertainment Tonight on Thursday, March 26. “Chase […]

“I completely understood why [Miranda and Kate Racker, Chase’s ex] were both mad,” Draper acknowledged of telling the truth. “I was like, ‘I get it.’ I screwed up, I’m so sorry, I’m not in the right headspace.”

During her Hulu podcast appearance, Draper shared another “public apology” for her actions.

“That was the stupidest thing and I feel so sorry,” the JZ Styles founder said. “My head has not been right since my divorce, so I’m making crazy decisions.”

Miranda, for her part, issued a statement after the kissing scandal.

“I knew there had been communication between Chase and Jessi but not to what extent,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “Chase was upfront and told me that they were talking and that they kissed. Jessi reached out only after she knew Chase had told me something was going on with them.”

Miranda continued, “What I never want to get misconstrued is that there is not any emotional attachment to Chase. He is my coparent. Although I do feel disrespected by Chase, I feel slighted by my friend. Chase and I are no longer partners and while I have a high expectation of him as a coparent, I also hold my friends to a high standard and believe in girl code.”

It looks like NoCap and Summyah Marie are back on good terms. After constant online chatter surrounding their rocky relationship, the couple had the internet talking again following a surprise moment at Rolling Loud and an Instagram drop.

Zara Larsson is clapping back after Chris Brown unexpectedly dragged her name into his latest social media rant over criticism surrounding his new album. The pop singer responded after Brown referenced her while venting about Pitchfork’s brutal review of his latest project, Brown, which the outlet famously scored a dismal 1.3 out of 10. During his Instagram Stories rant, Brown told critics unhappy with the album, “If you not my fan, I don’t want you to listen to my sh-t. Go listen to motherf-ckin’ Zara Larsson or somebody.”

Larsson did not stay quiet for long. After Brown’s comments began circulating online, the Swedish pop star responded bluntly. “Who the f-ck are you?” Larsson reportedly said while reacting to the unexpected name-drop.

Larsson has been openly critical of Brown for years, particularly due to his history of abuse allegations and controversies. Earlier this year, she revealed during an interview with Cosmopolitan that she intentionally blocks certain artists from appearing in her Spotify playlists.

“There are so many artists I have blocked on Spotify, and all of them are, like, abusers,” Larsson explained in the February interview. “You certainly wouldn’t find, like, a Chris Brown song.”

Following the exchange, fans quickly flooded social media with reactions, with many claiming Brown’s attempt to mock Larsson actually boosted support for the singer instead. Several users began comparing streaming numbers, album reviews, and Spotify listeners between the two artists. “Trust me Sh-t Brown….we ARE listening to Zara Larsson,” one user wrote online while pointing out that Larsson currently has more monthly Spotify listeners than Brown.

Brown’s comments toward Larsson came shortly after Pitchfork’s review of Brown went massively viral online, reportedly earning more than 10 million views across X within a single day. “[Brown] isn’t romantic or funny or sexy or sultry or dancey or soulful or vulnerable or honest or creative or inspired whatsoever,” Pierre wrote. “It’s soulless, hit-chasing music with nothing going for it if you aren’t personally invested in the Chris Brown culture wars.”

Chris Brown Insists He’s Unbothered By Album Backlash

Despite the backlash and harsh reviews, Brown’s album is still projected to debut at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. Pitchfork’s now-viral review labeled the project “soulless” and accused Brown of making “hit-chasing music,” further fueling debate online over the singer’s career and continued popularity.

Still, Brown has insisted he remains unfazed by the criticism and previously told fans he knows exactly who his audience is.

The online drama surrounding Larsson and Brown comes just days after the pop singer made headlines for an unexpected wardrobe malfunction during her performance on NBC’s “Today” show. Larsson helped kick off the morning show’s Summer Concert Series on May 8, performing several of her hits, including “Midnight Sun,” “Pretty Ugly,” and “Stateside,” in front of fans gathered at Rockefeller Plaza.

However, things took a chaotic turn during her performance of “Lush Life” when one of her sparkly silver heels reportedly broke mid-dance routine. The moment happened shortly after Larsson invited “Today” co-host Sheinelle Jones onstage to participate in the viral “Lush Life” dance, something the singer often does with fans during concerts. “

We gotta dance extra hard because I lost my heel!” Larsson joked while lifting her foot to reveal the broken stiletto heel, and that she did. Later, when she returned during the “3rd Hour of Today” to perform her song “Blue Moon,” the damaged shoe had been swapped out for a fresh pair.

Just weeks before finding herself at the center of the Chris Brown drama, Larsson opened up about the legendary artists who inspired her own music career. While attending the Billboard Women in Music event at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles on April 29, the Swedish singer was honored as this year’s Breakthrough Artist.

During the event, Larsson revealed which four artists she believes belong on her personal “Mount Rushmore” of pop music. “My four are the people that raised me,” the “Midnight Sun” singer said before naming Christina Aguilera, Céline Dion, Beyoncé, and Whitney Houston.

The summer of 2025 came to a screeching halt last September when fans held watch parties and kept their tissue boxes close for the series finale of Prime Video’s The Summer I Turned Pretty. The good news is that we know we’ll be heading back to Cousin’s Beach one way or another, thanks to a feature-length film that will pick up where we last left off with the beloved characters at the center of the string of novels penned by Jenny Han. In the months since the Lola Tung-led series came to an end, the streamer has been cooking up several new treats for YA romance. Thanks to the impending arrival of Every Year After, which will serve as an adaptation of Carley Fortune’s bestselling novel, Every Summer After, our next genre favorite is just right around the corner. Today, as part of Collider’s Exclusive Preview event, we’ve got a first look at the project that will hit screens just in time for summer break on June 10.

Starring Sadie Soverall (Fate: The Winx Saga) and Matt Cornett (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), the story follows Percy (Soverall) and Sam (Cornett), two childhood best friends who see one another every summer at the popular lake town of Barry’s Bay. Over six years, viewers will follow the pair and their loved ones as they navigate life, relationships, and love. Additionally, the ensemble lineup also features the talents of Abigail Cowen (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina), Aurora Perrineau (When They See Us), Joseph Chiu (Fear Street: Prom Queen), Michael Bradway (Chicago Fire), and Elisha Cuthbert (House of Wax).

Our exclusive sneak peek of the upcoming series showcases the relationship between both Percy and Sam as well as Percy and her mother, Sue (Cuthbert). The first shot captures a loving moment between the couple at the center of the tale, with Sam and Percy taking a break from cooking up a storm to stare into one another’s eyes. The other image depicts the tight-knit bond between daughter and mother, as Percy and Sue share some laughs while shooting some pool.

Who’s Behind ‘Every Year After’?

Amy B. Harris (The Wilds) will serve as the title’s showrunner and also executive produce alongside Fortune, Lindsey Liberatore, Amy Rardin, John Stephens, and Grace Gilroy. Considering Prime Video’s track record with similar genre hits, including The Summer I Turned Pretty, Maxton Hall, and The Runarounds, Every Year After is on track to be yet another home run for the platform.

Check out the two new images from Every Year After above and stay tuned for more to come from Collider’s Exclusive Preview event.

Lala Kent is addressing claims that Lisa Vanderpump once tried to set her up with Tom Sandoval.

The Valley star, 35, was quizzed about the rumor, which former Vanderpump Rules costar Scheana Shay first alluded to on her podcast back in March, during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen on Wednesday, May 13.

“Y’all are killing me right now,” Lala joked before laughing.

She continued, “I do not want to talk about this woman at all,” before adding, “Stuff happens, you know? Things are said. People ask questions.”

“I won’t confirm or deny that that did or did not happen,” the Vanderpump Rules alum teased. “You catch what I’m putting down?”

During a March episode of her “Scheananigans” podcast, Scheana, 41, claimed that Lisa, 65, encouraged Lala to hook up with Tom, 42, during season 11 of Vanderpump Rules.

“The same person who allegedly pushed the Dorit [Kemsley] dog storyline. The same person who tricked me into working a party at Sur one time,” Scheana said of Vanderpump, per Reality Tea. “The same person who tried to get Lala and Sandoval to hook up [in] season 11.”

“[Lisa] called Lala and suggested that. And Lala was like, ‘I would sleep with Ken [Todd] before I would sleep with Tom,’” Scheana claimed.

Vanderpump Rules season 11 followed the fallout of the “Scandoval” drama after Ariana Madix discovered Tom’s affair with costar Rachel Leviss.

While Scheana and Lala appeared to be on good terms after Vanderpump Rules was rebooted with a new cast in 2025, Scheana shared on her podcast in October 2025 that she and Lala had fallen out.

“After extending grace last week, I do feel the need to address it because Lala knows why our friendship is in the state that it’s in,” Scheana said, claiming Lala “did not take accountability” for their feud.

“This is not just about not posting my book for a week. It is about so much more than that,” Scheana added, referring to her memoir, My Good Side: A Memoir, which was published in July 2025.

According to Scheana, Lala told mutual friends about her husband Brock Davies’ infidelity, which she first revealed in her memoir and said she had privately disclosed to Lala before the book’s release. (Last year, Scheana said Brock cheated on her while she was pregnant with their daughter, Summer.)

“Not one — but two — of my closest friends repeated the Brock affair story to other people. One of those that it was repeated to was Brittany [Cartwright]. I know Brittany doesn’t have bad intentions. I wanted to tell her myself but I didn’t have a chance,” Scheana said. “That one that I can’t get over is Lala telling [our mutual friend] Jenna Willis, who I have not been on good terms with since last season.”

She continued: “Lala did it to humanize me because she said that Jenna was going so hard on me that she wanted to tell her about what I was actually going through. Now I understand the intent was not malicious. … I kept this to myself for two years and then I told one of my best, closest and dearest friends and you go and tell someone. That was extremely heartbreaking.”

Are you ready for The Vampire Lestat‘s big tour? In anticipation of Interview with the Vampire‘s return for Season 3 on AMC and AMC+, the titular creature of the night, played by Sam Reid, has been hard at work preparing for his ascendance to rock godhood, releasing not one, but two new tracks to whet viewers’ appetites for this next chapter. First came “Long Face,” a very David Bowie-inspired glam rock track that leans into the energy of other artists of the 1970s, followed by “All Fall Down,” the official opening theme for the upcoming season. Now, we’re excited to collaborate with the immortal rockstar as part of Collider’s Exclusive Summer Preview series and share a peek at a new single from his discography.

Lestat’s latest is one of the 20 original songs composed by IWTV‘s acclaimed composer Daniel Hart and sung by Reid for this rock-centric season. Compared to the previously released tracks, it’s also a showcase of how the vampire artist evolves throughout the season with a more modern sound. It’s accompanied by a video hyping a bloody takeover of the stage that will highlight his inner diva and leave a lot of bodies in his wake. Like Bowie, he’s about to go on a musical journey with an ever-evolving sound based on some of the most flamboyant rock stars to ever live, only with a lot more violence. Any fans lucky enough to have gotten tickets to The Vampire Lestat: One Night Only – LIVE will even get to hear some of his songs performed in-person in preparation for the musically inclined season.

The change to the title The Vampire Lestat was made to mark the shift to adapting Anne Rice‘s sequel novel of the same name, published in 1985. This time, Lestat will sit in the position once occupied by his former lover, Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson), telling his “truth” to Daniel Molloy (Eric Bogosian) in a way only he can. Said story follows him on a multi-city tour as his power and influence over humans and vampires alike grow to epic proportions with the popularity of his band, though he’s tormented by the muses he can’t outrun from his past. His newfound status as a rock icon also draws the attention of other beings seeking to contend with him in the wake of the Great Conversion that unnaturally boosted the vampire population. Through it all, viewers will get to see Lestat at his absolute pinnacle and witness as he’s forced to reckon with his actions.

‘The Vampire Lestat’ Will Be the Wildest Chapter of the Series Yet

Between the rocking tunes, the new era, and the shift to the diva that is Lestat as the new storyteller, The Vampire Lestat will be a complete transformation for the AMC hit. In an interview with Collider’s Perri Nemiroff during San Diego Comic-Con last year, series creator and showrunner Rolin Jones warned viewers may get a bit of “whiplash” from the first two Louis-focused seasons. “It’s going to be on the back of Lestat living like Lestat, embracing like Lestat. It’ll be contradictory and hallucinogenic and strange and wild.” Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, and Jennifer Ehle are among the other returning cast members with Reid, Anderson, and Bogosian, while Sheila Atim, Noah Reid, Ryan Kattner, Seamus Patterson, and Sarah Swire will make their IWTV debut.

To ensure the songs were completely intertwined with the story, Jones and Hart worked closely together, with Hart even co-writing an episode. For Reid, it was an entirely new experience seeing the project unfold over time and witnessing how each track fit into the context of Season 3 as he was learning to perform all of them. He told Nemiroff:

“The thing that has changed this year, for Lestat, is the music. Getting music before getting a script is a real mind-bleep, because I’d never done that before. It was a really complicated way to start a character, because without context, music is incredibly subjective. But also, how do you connect? ‘What is the context of this?’ I kept saying this, ‘Where did this come from? Why is he doing this?’ Then slowly, as the context came in… But I’m having to learn these songs, we’re having to record them, and poor Daniel was being incredibly patient, like, ‘It’s this, and this, and this.’ I was like, ‘I need to know!’ [Laughs] But then, as this context comes in, they open up, and you just see how incredibly brilliant this music actually is. It’s just that I was naive to being able to fully understand it, but I had to learn the mathematics of the songs, which are incredibly complex. Daniel Hart’s an incredibly talented songwriter and musician, and he writes gigantic songs. They are mega, mega songs. Rolin also writes mega texts, but I’ve been used to that. It’s been a big change, but super fun.”

Interview with the Vampire Season 3, The Vampire Lestat, premieres on AMC and AMC+ on June 7. Check out the new teaser above and visit Lestat’s official artist page on Spotify, Apple Music, and more to follow along as new songs drop throughout the season. Stay tuned here at Collider as well for more exciting looks at the latest in television and film from our summer preview event throughout the coming weeks.

Much like the very experience of being human, in Jane Schoenbrun’s movies, there are no easy answers. We’re All Going to the World’s Fair is a hypnotic journey through the darkest corners of the internet and how a young girl’s loneliness and alienation set her on this path. I Saw the TV Glow is an odyssey of two souls exploring their identities through the power of television and fandom.

While Schoenbrun’s trippy imagery and non-linear narratives toy with the conventions of horror, sci-fi, and thriller, the story always traces back to the relationships we have with ourselves, our identities, and our desires. Opening the Un Certain Regard section at this year’s Cannes Film Festival, Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is Schoenbrun’s most horror-leaning outing yet, but Schoenbrun remains true to their confounding but awe-inspiring lamentations on belonging and one’s journey to finding and accepting who they really are.

‘Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma’ Is a Movie Made for Slasher Fans

Image via MUBI

Hannah Einbinder stars as Kris, a queer filmmaker and slasher buff who has been given the reins to reboot the “Camp Miasma” film series, a long-running, backwoods slasher franchise à la Friday the 13th. The series needs reviving with a new “woke” direction due to the transphobic origins of its central killer, Little Death. It’s a not-so-subtle reference to the distasteful and downright hateful twist of 1983’s Sleepaway Camp, a film that attributes the killer’s psychotic thirst for blood to their gender confusion. Kris is set on casting the actress who played the original final girl, Billy Prestley (Gillian Anderson), who has not worked since and resides deep in the snowy mountains on the set of the original movie. Kris travels to stay with her, and, over the next couple of days, the two watch the “Camp Miasma” movies, eat candy, and reveal more of themselves to each other than they ever have before.

It’s easy to describe Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma as a movie made for slasher fans, but that’s exactly what it is. Just about every famous slasher series and final girl is mentioned, and the original “Camp Miasma” film hits every trope of the genre imaginable. But Schoenbrun’s film is not a slasher itself. Far from it. It’s an odyssey of the self that the audience is led through, and Hannah Einbinder’s Kris is the vessel. We see how horror movies have shaped the underlayer of Kris, forming their deepest desires and fantasies, which bring them both solace and great shame. It’s here that Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma shifts into one of the most nuanced depictions of eroticism and desire in recent years. Schoenbrun understands that movies shape who we are, but so too does sex and how we derive pleasure. Much of the film exists in the mind of someone on the edge of climax, experiencing discomfort and eroticism in equal measure. Shame permeates Schoenbrun’s filmography, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma is a glorious crescendo that sees the filmmaker confidently revel in and celebrate what gets us off.

Director Jane Schoenbrun’s Latest Is More Conventional but Still Wildly Original

Image via MUBI

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma also sees Schoenbrun’s visual style at its most conventional but still mesmerizing. Some sets are your classic backwoods horror settings, but the painted landscapes in the backdrop conjure up a Wes Anderson feel that suits Schoenbrun’s reality-bending vision. Sequences filled with splatter and gore are given a tender melody as the Counting Crows croon while Little Death fights back against a world that has alienated them. Slasher fans will delight in the woods scenes with copious amounts of fog and outrageous levels of blood squirting, with some sequences feeling straight out of a video game or reminiscent of the fight scenes in Malignant. But it’s in the intimacy scenes where Schoenbrun’s grip feels the most present, zooming in on Kris’ and Billy’s faces and drawing us into the intoxicating pull between the two leads. It all works to create a truly engulfing experience, giving the themes of intimacy and selfhood the palpability they require.

Hannah Einbinder’s lot in life seems to be playing opposite maddening older women, and Gillian Anderson is yet another castmate she creates irresistible chemistry with. As our protagonist, Einbinder subtly creates a hidden torment within Kris, one that they slowly unveil as they become closer to Billy. Schoenbrun’s filmography has given us some dynamic characters who grapple with their identity, and Einbinder more than accomplishes the task in her portrayal of Kris. Anderson is a propulsive force of alluring melancholy, brushing off her Blanche DuBois accent that leaves you hanging on every delicious word. There’s a great deal of humor in Anderson’s characterization of Billy, while always returning the character to a place of pain and misunderstanding. While brilliant as their own characters, they bring out the best in each other, and Schoenbrun draws out another two magnetic performances.

Any horror aficionado knows that sex is a key ingredient to any good slasher, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma reckons with the effect that has on the viewer, especially queer folk who have been led to believe that their desires are something to bury deep at the bottom of the lake, with the likes of Jason Vorhees and Little Death. Pacing issues somewhat hurt the second half, but no one should expect a conventional narrative structure from Schoenbrun. That said, overall, this is their most conventional film yet, and it further cements Schoebrun as one of the pre-eminent queer filmmakers of today, one who continues to bring clear vision and nuance to themes of identity, sex, and selfhood.

Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. It releases in theaters in the U.S. on August 7 before arriving on Mubi.
