Tate McRae Claps Back at Backlash for Appearing in Team USA Olympics Ad
UPDATE: 2/5/26 at 2:40 a.m. ET — Canadian singer Tate McRae appeared to hit back at backlash after appearing in an ad promoting Team USA’s 2026 Winter Olympics team.
The pop star shared a childhood photo of herself holding up a Canadian flag to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, February 4. “… Y’all know I’m Canada down,” the “Run for the Hills” singer wrote over the image.
Original story:
Singer Tate McRae is just as excited for the 2026 Winter Olympics as the rest of us — but not everybody is a fan of how she’s expressing it.
McRae, who was born in Canada, starred in an ad for NBC Sports promoting Team USA released on Tuesday, February 3.
“I’m trying to get to Milan for an amazing Opening Ceremony and meet Team USA,” the pop star, 22, tells a snowy owl in the commercial.
McRae continues, “It’s the weekend with America’s best skating for gold and Lindsey Vonn’s epic comeback.”
The 2026 Winter Olympics kick off with the Opening Ceremony on Friday, February 6, the same day that team figure skating competition begins. Vonn, meanwhile, is scheduled to hit the slopes on Sunday, February 8, despite suffering a torn ACL after a crash in Switzerland last week.
The decision for McRae to support Team USA didn’t sit well with some fans, who called her out for abandoning her Canadian roots.
“Promoting team usa is actually crazy… girl ur from calgary, u grew up going to the saddledome and the stampede, quit pretending ur from the country that was threatening to annex us this time last year 😭😭,” one person wrote via X.
McRae was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and spent most of her upbringing in the province. She has long supported the NHL’s Calgary Flames, who play at the Scotiabank Saddledome.
“Tate McRae, who is from Calgary Alberta, is doing Olympic promos for Team USA… more like ‘Trait McRator’ AMIRITE!” a person commented via X.
Another wrote, “Tate mcrae doing a olympic ad for the usa is lame af but also why is a us network even choosing a canadian to endorse them?”
“Tate McRae doing a promo for NBC and Team USA for the Olympics and not Canada has me a bit sad but okay,” a dejected fan said.
McRae appearing in the ad might not be entirely random, however, as the “Sports Car” singer has recently been linked to New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes, who will represent Team USA in Italy.
McRae and Hughes, 24, were spotted together in New York City in December 2025 after she attended one of his home games.
Hughes discussed dealing with an increased level of fame during an exclusive interview with Us Weekly last month.
“The number one thing I focus on is my game,” Hughes said. “That’s the part I have the most fun with. Obviously there’s a lot of things that come with it. But the most fun thing is to go out to a sold-out rink, ball out and play well. That’s the most important thing for me.”
He added, “All the other stuff is good, it comes on the side if you’re playing well. You kinda got to put the cart before the horse. I’m lucky to be in the position that I’m in. The most fun I have is on the ice.”
Hughes and the Team USA men’s hockey team will begin their quest for gold in Italy against Latvia on February 12.

After some time, though, the drugs Robert began using intensified.
“Then, I started doing Xanax with Acid, and then Molly with Xanax,” he told Mary. “I really like Xanax, so I mix it with everything. Xanax and cocaine. You know the regular 30mg Oxys? I noticed … this was, like, a turning point for me. I was taking 10 at once, and I couldn’t even feel it,” he said.

Mary Cosby’s Son Was Released From Jail Shortly Before His Death After Reportedly Violating A Protective Order
Robert’s death comes weeks after he was released from a Utah jail after reportedly violating a protective order between him and his ex-wife. During the “RHOSLC” season 6 reunion, Mary discussed Robert’s legal troubles, explaining that his run-in with the law stemmed from his unwillingness to listen.
“He went back anyway thinking that she wants him to come back and save her. I don’t know where he’s getting that from, delusional,” Mary said. “Every time he’d go back over there, they’d call the police and they’d arrest him.”
According to Page Six, Robert was taken into custody in November 2025 after allegedly getting into an altercation with his ex-wife’s father and a Salt Lake City police officer.

Robert’s lawyer, Clayton Simms, previously described his time in jail as a “blessing,” revealing it had given Robert a chance to “sober up.”
“He’s looking forward to doing positive things. The difficulty is that he was slow to recognize the dissolution of his marriage. But now he understands the relationship is over, and he’s moving forward,” Simms added.

Ridley Scott’s Ahead-of-Its-Time War Movie Returns 3 Decades After Dividing Critics
Perhaps Ridley Scott‘s greatest impact on the landscape of cinema has been on sci-fi, with his genre-defining masterpieces Alien and Blade Runner. That’s not to dismiss what the four-time Oscar nominee has accomplished outside the genre, though. He conquered the historical epic with his classic film Gladiator and created a gripping war movie with 2001’s Black Hawk Down. His ideas aren’t always successful, but he’s consistently managed to marry large-scale, ambitious thrills with deeper themes of identity, corporate greed, and political corruption.
In 1997, Scott would apply this same approach to the Demi Moore-led war action thriller, G.I. Jane. The film tells the fictional story of Lieutenant Jordan O’Neill, a topographical analyst who is suddenly selected to be the first woman to train in a special forces program akin to the U.S. Navy SEALs. Facing extreme sexism in a gruelling program she was set up to fail, she strives under her unfairly punishing commander, John James Urgayle (Viggo Mortensen), to break her limits and shatter the expectations placed on her by the institution around her. Critics and audiences were divided about the result, and it was met with a more middling $98.4 million box office against a budget of $50 million, yet it has since gotten a bit more love by some as a flawed film that was still ahead of its time in its message. Moore herself has been a vocal defender of the story for how it challenged gender norms, telling Vanity Fair in 2024, “I think the film really holds up. I hear it a lot from people. I think that Ridley made a really thoughtful, intelligent film that really tackled the subject matter.”
Now, nearly three decades later, Peacock is giving subscribers a chance to revisit the film and judge it on its merits. G.I. Jane is due to arrive on the platform on March 1, alongside a wide range of big new additions, including Fight Club, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Beekeeper, and Friday the 13th. In addition to Moore and Mortensen, Scott’s film also featured the talents of, among others, Jason Beghe, Scott Wilson, Anne Bancroft, Morris Chestnut, and Lucinda Jenney. Riddick and The Fugitive scribe David Twohy penned the script with Danielle Alexandra, who wrote the story.
Demi Moore and Ridley Scott Will Be Back in Theaters in 2026
Moore was last seen on the big screen in 2024 with The Substance, an instant horror classic that nearly won the actress her first Oscar and powerfully tackled the pressures women face about their bodies, particularly as they grow older. After returning to Landman for Season 2 last year, though, she’ll be back in theaters in three months on May 22 with Boots Riley‘s latest film, I Love Boosters. Scott also has a busy year ahead, with his new film, The Dog Stars, led by Jacob Elordi, set to release on August 28. Adapted from Peter Heller‘s novel, the film is set in the aftermath of a deadly pandemic that has devastated humanity, as a pilot named Hig (Elordi) and his gruff marine companion (Josh Brolin) live in relative isolation, until a mysterious transmission gives them hope of finding other survivors.
G.I. Jane arrives on Peacock on March 1. Stay tuned here at Collider for more on all the biggest films coming to and leaving streaming throughout the year.

The View’ Guest Host Pulls Back the Curtains on Workings of Show
While “The View” may look polished on screen, so much more is going on behind the scenes, and guest co-host Sara Eisen is spilling.
With Alyssa Farah Griffin out on maternity leave, the Hot Topics table has welcomed a rotation of substitutes, including Eisen.
The “Squawk on the Street” anchor is now detailing her experience on the broadcast, gushing about how seamless the show appears even though it is raw and unscripted.

Sara Eisen Details Inner Workings of ‘The View’
On her second day subbing in for Griffin, Eisen shared insight on what it is like at the table, admitting it’s not exactly what she expected as a longtime viewer.
When Joy Behar asked whether she was enjoying herself, the CNBC anchor didn’t hesitate to share. “First of all, you guys are all wonderful and gracious. It’s a pleasure to be here, as someone who’s watched the show forever,” the 41-year-old said, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Eisen described the opportunity as a “treat,” saying it allowed her to speak freely about a range of topics. Sunny Hostin then asked whether the reality of the show matched Eisen’s expectations.

“I love how spontaneous it is and how authentic it is,” the business journalist responded. “And how we’re prepared and we’re read-in, but not scripted. It looks very perfect when you watch it on TV, but anything can happen out here.”
Eisen admired her colleague’s ability to perform without earpieces, which sparked a playful jab from Ana Navarro: “Even when Joy does get cued in her ear, she just ignores it.”
Eisen isn’t the only guest co-host to step in during Griffin’s absence. Savannah Chrisley also joined the panel and spoke about her time on the show, thanking the panel for giving her a platform to share differing opinions.

Savannah Chrisley Accused Of Auditioning For A Political Position

Chrisley’s brief stint on the table did not go without backlash. As The Blast reported, the February 19 episode featured Chrisley, Hostin, and Whoopi Goldberg in an argument over Donald Trump.
Goldberg argued that the president has sent “mixed messages” during Black History Month, citing his stance on DEI initiatives and past racist actions.
However, Chrisley countered her, saying she had personally seen Trump’s positive side and finds it hard to see people call him “racist.” She then pointed out Trump’s support of a longtime Black employee.
Hostin pushed back, saying Trump’s behavior still amounted to racism, while Goldberg highlighted examples such as Trump sharing offensive posts about Barack and Michele Obama.

Chrisley’s defense of the U.S. leader drew criticism from fans, and one even accused her of “auditioning for the White House press secretary.”

Jenny McCarthy Rejects The Idea of Returning To The Hot Topics Table

With Chrisley’s guest-host run now over, more familiar faces, including former co-host Abby Huntsman, are expected to fill in for Griffin in the months to come. However, one thing is for sure: past panelist Jenny McCarthy won’t be reclaiming a seat at the table.
McCarthy appeared on the daytime talk show from 2013 to 2014, but she has firmly ruled out ever returning, even after producers reportedly reached out.
During an appearance on “The Katie Miller Podcast” last month, McCarthy reflected candidly on her experience, admitting it was far from positive.
As The Blast reported, McCarthy explained that producers initially hired her to provide light-hearted commentary. However, they quickly shifted toward political discussions, which left her feeling unprepared at the time.
McCarthy added that she was asked to return for the reunion, but her reaction was, “over her dead body.”

Sherri Shepherd Backs Jenny McCarthy’s Reflection, Saying She Was In A Similar Situation

After McCarthy recounted her past stint with the long-running ABC show, her ex-colleague Sherri Shepherd echoed the same account.
According to The Blast, Shepherd revealed that the showrunners hired her because they wanted someone “relatable.”
However, the order of the day soon turned to political debates, which Shepherd said was challenging given her strict upbringing. At one point, she was advised to read to get more insight into the political world.
Whoopi Goldberg Shares Reason For Her Absence On ‘The View’

Meanwhile, Griffin isn’t the only permanent co-host to take a break from the show recently. Whoopi Goldberg was off the panel from November 17 until her return on December 1 last year.
Per The Blast, Goldberg resumed with shared details about her hiatus, revealing she was filming a soap opera in Italy.
She joked with Ana Navarro about forgetting English and described the experience of working in a different language and country as “really interesting.”
Goldberg noted she kept her colleagues updated with videos from Naples, where it rained constantly.

Prince William Reportedly Saw His Uncle Andrew As An ‘Ignoramus’
In a new book, author Russell Myers claims the Prince of Wales was troubled by his uncle’s conduct and urged decisive action after the fallout from Andrew’s BBC Newsnight interview about Jeffrey Epstein.
As King Charles balances reform, family loyalty, and cancer treatment, differing approaches have reportedly strained the father-son relationship, raising fresh concerns about the monarchy’s future.

Why Prince William Thought His Uncle Was An ‘Ignoramus’

William is said to have always held strong views about his uncle, Andrew, long before his recent public ridicule due to his arrest.
The claims come from royal editor Russell Myers in his new book “William and Catherine,” which explores how the Prince and Princess of Wales have navigated the turbulence surrounding the House of Windsor in recent years.
According to Myers, concerns about Andrew’s conduct within palace walls existed well before his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein became public knowledge.
Drawing on conversations with palace sources, Myers writes that William was never particularly impressed with his uncle.

“It was very clear to me, made by several people I’d spoken to for the book, how William thought his uncle was always a bit of an ignoramus,” said Myers, per Fox News Digital.

The Prince Of Wales Disliked How His Uncle Treated Palace Staff

According to Myers, the future king “had a real issue with the way that Andrew treated his staff.”
William reportedly disapproved of what he perceived as an entitled and dismissive attitude, qualities he and Kate strive to avoid in their own household.
“They are very centered on producing really sound and enjoyable working environments for the people who are employed by them,” Myers noted.
He continued, “They’re very respectful of the people that they work with. You just have to look at the amount of time that people stayed and worked within their household.”

Prince William Reportedly Pressed For Action Against Andrew Years Before He Was Stripped Of His Titles

Tensions reportedly escalated after Andrew’s widely criticized 2019 BBC Newsnight interview, in which he attempted to explain his relationship with Epstein. The interview drew significant backlash for failing to show remorse toward Epstein’s victims.
According to Myers, Prince William believed decisive action was necessary to protect the monarchy from reputational damage.
He reportedly urged both his father and his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, to distance the institution from Andrew, warning that failing to act could damage the royal family’s standing.
He is said to have argued that Andrew “must be banished before the rot sets in.”
Although Andrew continued to deny any wrongdoing, public scrutiny intensified, and multiple investigations into allegations connected to him followed.

Myers added that it “was six years later before King Charles finally took that action of stripping his title, stripping his honors and exiling him from public life.”
King Charles And His Heir Clashed Over Andrew And The Monarchy’s Future

When Charles III ascended the throne in 2022 after the death of Queen Elizabeth II, pressure mounted to resolve what insiders called “the Andrew problem.”
According to royal observers, Charles and William were not entirely aligned on how decisively the matter should be handled.
Charles, said to feel a lingering duty toward his younger brother, appeared inclined toward a cautious and considered response.
William, however, has been portrayed as more hardline, prioritizing the monarchy’s future stability and public trust over family sensitivities.
Myers wrote that if “William had had his way, then certainly the royal family would’ve been able to be on the front foot many years ago.”

Prince William Admits He Is Not In A ‘Calm’ State Of Mind

Amid these tensions, William and Kate are also said to be worried about the toll the ongoing controversy could take on the king, particularly as he undergoes cancer treatment.
Royal commentators told Fox News Digital that the couple’s concern is understandable, especially as public approval ratings have reportedly dipped over how the palace has responded to renewed scrutiny surrounding Andrew’s past associations, including his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.
The Prince and Princess of Wales made their first public appearance since Andrew’s reported arrest at the British Academy Film Awards, where William serves as BAFTA president.
During the event, William acknowledged he was not in a “calm state.” When asked on the red carpet whether he had seen the historical drama “Hamnet,” directed by Chloé Zhao, he replied that he would prefer to watch it when he was in a calmer headspace.

Benny Blanco Reveals Why Selena Gomez Was ‘Crying’ Days Before Wedding
Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez’s wedding didn’t exactly go off without a hitch.
According to Blanco during his Thursday, February 26, appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Gomez was left in tears after misplacing her handwritten vows less than a week before the couple were scheduled to tie the knot.
“She was crying because she couldn’t find [them],” Blanco, 37, told host Jimmy Kimmel, explaining the vows were “lost” for about four or five days.
Blanco ultimately saved the day by finding the vows just in the nick of time, he told Kimmel.
“I found them, right before the wedding!” he said. “I didn’t look. I closed my eyes and handed them to her. I swear! I swear I didn’t look.”
The music producer then joked that discovering the important lost item made him look like a hero to Gomez, 33.
“But how good is it? It made me look so good,” Blanco said. “It was like the best thing I could have done. I’m about to marry her and then I find the thing?”
Gomez married Blanco in late September 2025 in a star-studded ceremony held in Santa Barbara, California.
“Everyone there was sobbing, and it was extremely emotional,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly of the pair’s nuptials at the time, adding that Gomez “bawled her eyes out” when Blanco recited his heartfelt vows. “The wedding was pretty simple and not your typical ‘celebrity’ lavish wedding.”
According to the insider, Gomez and Blanco “just wanted to dance and have fun” throughout the evening. The source added, “You could feel so much love from them.”

The couple publicly shared the news of their engagement at the tail end of 2024 after more than a year of dating.
“Forever begins now,” Gomez captioned an Instagram post on December 11, 2024, which contained an image that showed off her engagement ring.
For his part, Blanco celebrated the relationship milestone by writing in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”
In February 2025, Blanco and Gomez gushed over one another while speaking with Interview magazine for its Valentine’s Day issue.
“You know when you think you met the right person, you’re like, ‘Oh my God.’ But it feels so different,” Blanco told the outlet. “The second we started hanging out, I was like, ‘This is my wife.’ I was telling my mom, ‘This is the girl I’m going to marry.”
Blanco explained in the interview that their yin-and-yang personalities complement each other.
“It’s so good because I get her out, and she calms me down when I need it,” Blanco gushed. “She’s the first person that I’ve been with where I’m like, ‘I don’t even give a f**k what’s going on. I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything.’ She’s like my f**king heroin and Xanax combined.”
Gomez added that she was the first one to fall head over heels while spending time with Blanco.
“It was really simple. We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that’s how easy it was for me. I liked him before he liked me,” she said.

In Between 7 ‘Scream’ Movies, Courteney Cox Starred in This 89% RT Cult Classic Comedy
While Friends will forever be how the world knows about Courteney Cox, the Scream franchise is surely a close second. Since 1996, the actress has starred in seven nail-biting slasher movies, including the latest, Scream 7, which is coming to theaters on February 27, 2026. But while those two projects from Cox have received worldwide attention, one of her past TV shows only reached a smaller, yet equally dedicated cult following instead.
From 2009 to 2015, Cox was the lead in Cougar Town, an ABC-turned-TBS series created by Shrinking‘s very own Bill Lawrence. The series, which holds an impressive 89% on Rotten Tomatoes, is a hidden gem in comedy, packed with hilarious stories, an endearing cast of characters, and Cox in one of her best roles to date.
What Is ‘Cougar Town’ About?
Cougar Town follows Cox as Jules Cobb, a divorced realtor who starts to dabble with the idea of dating younger men, hence the title. Soon after, however, the series quickly abandoned that plot, and became more about the wonderful, quirky friendships and family dynamics rather than actually an exploration of age-gap relationships. That was especially the case when the show focused on Jules’s will-they-won’t-they with Grayson Ellis (Josh Hopkins), who is roughly her age.
So, much like how Shrinking isn’t only about therapy or the loss of a loved one, and is more about the friendships the main characters have along the way, Cougar Town hits that same sweet spot. Among Jules’ inner circle is her sarcastic and razor-sharp best friend Ellie (Christa Miller), and the bubbly Laurie (Busy Phillipps). Together, the three of them are explosive onscreen. While Miller had a laid-back, sardonic approach to comedy that perfectly contrasted with Cox’s high-strung, anxiety-ridden Jules, Philipps brought an even more kinetic, spirited energy. Different in their own way, the friend group, which is complete with Jules’ son Travis (Dan Byrd) and Ellie’s husband Andy (Ian Gomez), is funny, believable and impressively grounded for a comedy series.
2 Years Later, Melissa Barrera Reflects on the Scream Fandom’s Support After Controversial Firing
The actress is now starring opposite Simu Liu in Peacock’s ‘The Copenhagen Test.’
‘Cougar Town’ Sees Courteney Cox at Her Best
While Cox was certainly a big part of making Friends and the Scream as successful as they are, her role in Cougar Town is her best to date. With the leading role all to herself this time around, the series showcased her range more than Friends ever did, and she’s the driving force of the series from beginning to end. With that comes incredible chemistry with each of the characters, like her steamy connection with Grayson, her maternal side with Travis, and the TV magic between her and Miller’s character. For her role, Cox got the award recognition she’s long deserved, including her first Golden Globe nomination in 2010 and her first Critics Choice Award in 2011.
So, while Cougar Town was never a ratings mega-hit, the six-season comedy series is a must-watch for Cox fans, either from Friends or Scream. The series, in addition to being heartwarming, wholesome and hilarious, allows Cox to shine, and puts her comedic chops in full display. It’s a series that never exploded like Friends, but has slowly but surely won over fans and cultivated a cult following ever since, and every new viewer of the series will surely understand why.
