The New Exercise Trend for People Who Hate Going to the Gym
Exercise snacks, short and sharp bursts of movement squeezed into everyday life, are drawing new attention as busy Americans look for ways to stay healthy without hitting the gym. Here is what the research and doctors actually say about the trend.
What Are Exercise Snacks?
Exercise snacks are quick, intense bouts of movement built into your regular routine, from a set of squats between meetings to carrying groceries up the stairs. They are meant to break up long stretches of sitting, not replace traditional workouts.
Dr. Michael Fredericson, director of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Sports Medicine in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford, told People magazine the concept centers on “these three to four bursts of really high intensity exercise throughout the day, built into your regular life.” He gave examples like doing squats, carrying groceries home or shoveling snow. Jonathan Little, a professor in the School of Health and Exercise Sciences at the University of British Columbia, cautioned that exercise snacks are “not meant to ‘replace’ other types of traditional exercise such as walking, jogging, lifting weights, sports, or going to the gym,” according to Very Well Health.
Do Exercise Snacks Improve Heart Health and Blood Sugar?
Exercise snacks appear to help with metabolism, overall health and blood sugar control, but they do not deliver the same heart health payoffs as longer, sustained workouts.
Fredericson told People magazine that with exercise snacks, “you don’t see as many benefits in terms of blood pressure decreasing, cholesterol decreasing, or even strength improving,” and the approach is “not as good for weight loss.” A 2026 study Little co-authored found just four minutes of exercise spread throughout the day can help control blood sugar, especially after meals. “It is likely that the exercise snacks caused muscles to take up more glucose from the blood and this helped to lower blood sugar, especially the blood sugar spikes after meals,” Little said, per Very Well Health. He noted it was the first study of exercise snacks among people with type 2 diabetes and that more research is still needed.
Who Benefits Most from Exercise Snacks?
People with sedentary jobs, packed schedules or no easy access to a gym stand to gain the most, and the approach looks particularly promising for people with type 2 diabetes.
Fredericson said “there’s a lot of ways you can still do things that may not be traditional exercise, but it’s still going to give you tremendous health benefits.” The strategy also targets what has been called the “active couch potato” problem, where people who exercise regularly still spend most of their day sitting. Jo Blodgett, a senior research fellow at the Institute of Sport, Exercise and Health at University College London, told the BBC that regular gym sessions or a weekly football game are “a good thing” but will not offset sitting at a desk all day or spending evenings on the couch. “Thirty minutes in the gym is only a tiny part of it. What about the other 23-and-a-half hours?” she said.
How Can You Add Exercise Snacks to Your Day?
Aim for short bursts of movement every 15 to 30 minutes, whether that means push-ups and squats at home, walk-and-talk meetings at the office or simply standing up to shake out during a long stretch at your desk.
Fredericson said he moves at least every 30 minutes when working from home, doing push-ups, squats and jumping jacks. “It really helps my overall fitness, but also helps stabilize my glucose throughout the day,” he said. Blodgett suggested standing up every 15 or 30 minutes to shake around before sitting back down. At work, options include walk-and-talk meetings for phone calls or using half a lunch break for a walk instead of scrolling on your phone. Little acknowledged much is still unknown about the ideal dose. “For example, what are the best exercises, how many do you need to do each day, [and] how long should each exercise snack be? We don’t know the answers to these questions yet, but the data are intriguing that a very small amount of exercise, done vigorously and interspersed throughout the day, might have some health benefits,” Little said.

Pete Davidson Makes Sudden Real Estate Pivot
Pete Davidson has made an unexpected move with his New York home just weeks after reaching a co-parenting agreement with Elsie Hewitt.
The comedian initially listed the North Salem property for $2.5 million in February. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom home later dropped to $1.9 million before he removed the listing.
The couple welcomed their first child in December 2025. Their child, Scott Matthew Davidson, is named after Pete Davidson’s late father. The comedian had previously said he wanted to move closer to his family in Staten Island while raising his daughter.

The former “Saturday Night Live” star officially removed his New York country property from the market on August 13. The four-bedroom had been listed since February. The initial asking price was $2.5 million before it was dropped to $1.9 million.
The property sits on six acres and covers about 2,300 square feet. It has a stone fireplace, a fish tank, sauna, wine cellar, cold plunge and hot tub. The home also features a lap pool, gym, media room and several decks.
Davidson bought the property in June 2023 for just under $2 million. He previously described it as “literally like living in paradise” and said it gave him an escape from the noise of New York City. PEOPLE shared that his reason for leaving the “hip, funky cool place” was to be closer to his family as he raises his child.
The Recent Co-Parenting Agreement Changed Everything
Davidson and Hewitt confirmed their co-parenting agreement in a joint statement in late July. The joint custody news came just two months after news of their breakup. Davidson and the model dated for less than a year before they announced welcoming a child together.
The comedian pulled his home off the market only weeks after the couple agreed to raise their daughter together. The former couple said their daughter’s well-being remains their top priority.
“We are cooperatively co-parenting our daughter whose well-being remains our top priority, and we are fully committed to working together to give her love from both of us,” the couple announced.
The Blast reported that the pair had already been having “productive conversations” about their daughter before announcing the agreement. Davidson had also adjusted his schedule so he could be more present in his daughter’s life. However, there is no sign of reconciliation between the couple, despite the custody agreement.
The model, Hewitt, had previously shared that she was handling parenting responsibilities alone. Davidson’s representatives refuted her claim and described him as “a very present father.” Sources also said he covered expenses connected to Hewitt, including rent and health insurance.
Pete Davidson Was Also Spotted With Another Woman
Davidson’s personal life drew more attention shortly after the co-parenting announcement. He was spotted in Brooklyn with “Love Thy Nader” star Sarah Jane Nader. The pair appeared comfortable together during the outing, with Davidson seen holding open a car door for her.
The sighting happened only two days after Davidson and Hewitt announced their commitment to co-parenting. The footage did not show the pair kissing or displaying obvious affection. The duo has confirmed that they are dating.
The Blast shared that Nader already has her own public profile as a model, influencer, and reality TV personality. She appears alongside her sisters on “Love Thy Nader.” Her appearance with Davidson therefore sparked dating speculation, but the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

Davidson’s comedy career began when he was just 16 after a dare led him to perform stand-up at a bowling alley. He quickly became interested in comedy and started booking appearances on MTV shows. His early credits included “Failosophy,” “Guy Code” and “Wild’ N Out.”
His first televised stand-up appearance came on Comedy Central’s “Gotham Comedy Live.” He landed a small role in “Trainwreck,” which later connected him with Bill Hader. The connection helped Davidson secure an audition for “Saturday Night Live.”
Davidson joined “SNL” for its 40th season in 2014. He became one of the youngest cast members in the show’s history and the first cast member born in the 1990s. His eight-season run eventually helped establish him as a household name.
Pete Davidson’s High Profile Dating History

Davidson has had quite an interesting dating history. His five-month relationship with Ariana Grande in 2018 attracted huge attention, and the pair got engaged shortly after their first date. Their relationship and breakup put the comedian’s name on the map.
The “SNL” star dated quite a number of women of high status after his breakup with Grande. Kate Beckinsale, Kaia Gerber, Kim Kardashian, Emily Ratajkowski, and Madelyn Cline were all women he had dated. Parade noted that the attention Davidson got from the relationships has kept him firmly in headlines and in the eye of the public.
Now, Davidson’s life has entered a different chapter with the arrival of his daughter with Hewitt. His focus has shifted toward fatherhood and co-parenting while he continues working in entertainment. The decision surrounding his North Salem home adds another change to that new phase.
What will Pete Davidson do next?

Janelle Brown Basks In The Euphoria Of Her New Romance
Janelle Brown is deep in the throes of her newly minted romance.
The “Sister Wives” star is taking a walk down memory lane on her love life and how she spent years not trusting her instinct when it comes to making important life decisions.
Janelle Brown recently hard-launched her new romantic partner on Instagram nearly four years after she ended her spiritual marriage to Kody Brown.
The TLC star hopped on Instagram to reflect on her past relationship dynamics, asking if her followers can relate to her feeling of looking back on the version of herself that second-guesses everything, and what she would think about her now.
She admitted that she thinks about that version of herself sometimes, who used to sample at least three people’s opinions before she made any poignant move in her life. Janelle was previously in a plural marriage with Kody, Christine, Meri, and Robyn Brown, who have now left the family patriarch except Robyn.
Janelle bragged about some of the daring things she has done in recent times, like buying land without a plan, changing course mid-week because it felt weird, and no longer asking for permission before making any move.
“I don’t think she’d think I got braver, necessarily. I think she’d just be relieved. Like she’d been waiting a long time for someone to finally believe her instead of everyone else,” the reality star noted.
The TLC Star’s Fans Relive Memories Of Her Life’s Journey Through The Screen
Janelle’s confession warmed the heart of her fans and admirers who testified to her growth over the years. This user wrote, “I’ve followed SW from the beginning and am so happy for you, Christine and Meri! You’ve always deserved the happiness you’ve created now.”
Another commenter affirmed that Janelle used to be on the sidelines from the very beginning, but it felt great to see her glowing and discovering her true self. A third fan revealed that Janelle’s golden nuggets have taught them a serious lesson about not asking for permission and waiting for perfect timing to start anything.
“I never thought of you as that woman; in fact, I thought you were the one wife that seemed like you had your shit together the most. You spoke your peace and did your things,” another Instagram user added.
Fans in the comments congratulated Janelle for finally finding happiness and getting the boldness to leave the marriage and start living independently.
Inside Janelle Brown’s Big Romantic Reveal
The reality star updated her Instagram fans on important life updates after previously promising that she would not consider dating anytime soon after the end of her marriage to Kody. As shared by The Blast, Janelle unveiled the name of her new beau as Pete, whom she has been enjoying getting to know privately.
Janelle confessed that love crept up on her when she was not looking, yet Pete turned out to be the same exact thing she needed to get by and be happy. The reality star’s big reveal comes months after she received a spiritual release from her marriage to Kody through her church.
Janelle was relieved to finally be free from the plural arrangement after she secured the letter, as seen on an episode of their family reality show on TLC. The media personality and her former husband went their separate ways in 2022, nearly 30 years after they exchanged their vows in 1993.
Janelle subsequently relocated to North Carolina from Utah following the end of her marriage to be with her daughter and son-in-law, where she put down roots on a fresh piece of land.
The 57-Year-Old Revealed Her Family Did Not Approve Of Polygamy
When Janelle married Kody in 1993 via a spiritual wedding, she spilled that her family’s anger knew no bounds upon learning about this. As noted by The Blast, the TLC star revealed that most members of her family stopped communicating with her, although her mother still maintained interaction with her to a certain degree.
She identified an interesting twist that happened before her wedding, where her mom had come to save her from the polygamist, but ended up marrying Kody’s father three months before she tied the knot with Kody.
Due to the lack of her family’s support, Janelle recalled wearing a green dress for the ceremony and not the white one as expected. Janelle also shared a bond with another sister wife, Meri, as she had married her older brother, Adam Berber, a little while before she settled with Kody.
Janelle revealed that Meri and Kody were her polygamist friends at the time, and at one point she became very curious about their lifestyle, and she would go out on double dates with them before finally marrying Kody.
Janelle Brown And Her Ex-Husband Kody Brown Lost A Child To Suicide

Two years after their marriage ended, Janelle and Kody experienced a crushing loss when her son Garrison lost his life to suicide on March 5, 2024. The loss happened as the couple navigated their separation, but the couple and the rest of their family came together to hold a private funeral for Garrison.
However, the loss shook the family to its foundation. At the ceremony, everyone shared hugs and stories that brought them closer to the memory of Garrison and helped them navigate their way through the tragedy.
Garrison Brown was confirmed to have died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home in Flagstaff, Arizona, and police insisted there was no foul play in his death.
Janelle later shared that she had been in communication with Garrison and that he had been struggling with anxiety, depression, and periods of heavy alcohol use. Following his passing, the reality star asked the fans to honor his memory by donating to local animal shelters and humane societies, which were important to him.
Love looks great on Janelle Brown!

Lindsay Clancy’s Trial Has Jurors Making ‘Agonizing Choice’
Lindsay Clancy’s murder trial has captured national attention with many people debating if she should be held criminally responsible for killing her three kids, and legal expert Rachael Bennett exclusively told Us that the jurors have an “agonizing choice” to make regarding the outcome.
Throughout the trial, Clancy’s family members and medical professionals have testified that she asked for help and expressed mental health struggles before she killed kids Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months, in January 2023. Clancy then jumped out out of a second-story window of her home in an apparent suicide attempt, leaving her paralyzed from the waist down.
“Since she has already stipulated that she did commit the murders, Lindsay’s defense seems their focus is really more on explaining to the jury why the murders happened,” Bennett, who is a Family Law Specialist, told Us, adding that the defense is trying to give the jury “context to her mental state.”
Bennett said she believes the “testimony from her family members will hold some pretty significant weight for the jury,” pointing out that her former mother-in-law, Susan Clancy, and her mother, Paula Musgrove, both took the stand to reveal Lindsay, 36, was struggling in the months before the killings. The defense has maintained that Lindsay was suffering from severe postpartum psychosis and bipolar disorder at the time.
The legal expert said that if “the jury believes that her loved ones all independently observed her in some state of psychiatric crisis” and “that it never truly relented over months,” she believes that the testimonies will “seriously strengthen the defense’s argument that her actions were not intentional.”
“Ultimately, I think this case is going to force the jurors to make a pretty agonizing choice,” Bennett continued. “Do they see a woman who was, like, desperately trying to navigate a failing mental health system until she was just completely overcome by a psychotic break? Or do they see a woman struggling with depression who understood exactly how sick she was and deliberately chose to take action on her darkest thoughts?”
After noting that the case was “heartbreaking either way,” Bennett said the outcome will likely boil down to “intent and what kind of punishment fits the crimes that resulted from that intent.”
Throughout the trial, Lindsay’s defense team has argued that she should not be held criminally responsible for her children’s deaths due to her mental health issues.
The defense said that Lindsay was prescribed antidepressants to treat her postpartum depression. However, the medications made her condition worse.
Meanwhile, prosecutors argued that Lindsay knew what she was doing when she killed her kids and they pointed to her suicide attempt immediately after as an indicator that she aware of the situation.
A handful of her loved ones have taken the stand to testify. In addition to her mother and former mother-in-law, Lindsay’s sister, Allison Ozga, shed light on her declining mental health one month before the children were killed.
On Monday, August 17, Ozga recalled a conversation she had with Lindsay via phone in December 2022, in which her sister allegedly admitted to having suicidal thoughts every day for a month.
If you or someone you know is pregnant or just had a baby and is in crisis, help is available. Call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline for free, confidential support 24/7 in English and Spanish at 1-833-TLC-MAMA (1-833-852-6262).

DWTS Casts Whitney Leavitt’s Husband, Brooks Nader’s Sister
Dancing With the Stars has added family members of two of its most iconic competitors to the season 35 cast.
Us has learned that Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Whitney Leavitt’s husband, Conner Leavitt, and model Brooks Nader’s sister Sarah Jane Nader both will join the dancing competition this fall.
Us has reached out to ABC for comment.
Conner, 32, has big shoes to fill on the dance floor, as his wife, Whitney, 33, and her professional partner, Mark Ballas, made it all the way to the semifinals in season 34 last year. Whitney has parlayed her success on Dancing With the Stars into a record-breaking debut in Broadway’s Chicago and, soon, a leading role as Sandra Dee in Just in Time, starting in December.
Brooks, 29, and her now ex-boyfriend, professional dancer Gleb Savchenko, competed on Dancing With the Stars season 33 in 2024, where they finished in ninth place. She has since landed a role on Fox’s upcoming reboot of Baywatch.
In April, Ciara Miller and Maura Higgins were unveiled as the first two celebrities to join the cast of DWTS season 35. The reality stars were followed by ABC confirming that Savannah Bananas second baseman Jackson Olson and Jimmy Kimmel Live! sidekick Guillermo Rodriguez had signed on.
Us exclusively reported earlier this week that Bachelor Nation star Tyler Cameron and Step Up actress Jenna Dewan will be joining DWTS this year as well. The full Dancing With the Stars cast — including pros and celebrities — will be revealed on ABC’s Good Morning America on September 2.
ABC has already confirmed that Rodriguez, 55, will be paired with reigning pro winner Witney Carson, who recently announced that she is expecting her third baby with husband Carson McAllister. (Carson, 32, won %MCEPASTEBIN%DWTS season 34 with celebrity partner Robert Irwin.)
“I would be lying if I said it wasn’t very daunting. I’ve never been this far along pregnant and competing on Dancing With the Stars, ever,” she admitted on GMA on Monday, August 17. “I don’t know if it’s ever been done.”
The pro dancer added, “I’m so proud to be a woman, to be creating life and growing this human, and to be able to do the show and compete … is such a huge blessing.”
Ahead of the season 35 kickoff, Savannah Bananas player Olson, 28, exclusively opened up to Us about what will make him most nervous about stepping onto the dance floor.
“I’m definitely nervous. I feel like my dad used to always say to me, ‘If you’re nervous, it’s a good thing. If you’re scared, it is not a good thing,’” Olson told Us on August 6. “There’s a big difference there. I feel like the nerves are there, but it’s more excitement.”
Admitting that he’ll be feeling nerves “10 seconds before” before his music kicks in on DWTS, Olson added, “That’s when I’m most nervous for Bananas games, when we’re about to get called out for starting lineups.”
“It’s like, ‘All right, that first 10 seconds,’ but then right when you’re out there, you’re like, ‘Oh, this is what I’ve been practicing for,’ and so I feel like baseball has taught me so much how to have [a] good practice before you actually go out there,” he pointed out.
Dancing With the Stars season 35 airs a two-night premiere on ABC and Disney+ Tuesday, September 15, and Wednesday, September 16, at 8 p.m. ET.

Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne’s Life Shatters When Steffy Delivers the Ultimate Knife!
Bold and the Beautiful brings confusion as Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) deciding to stay in LA after all. She told Carter Walton (Lawrence Saint-Victor) she doesn’t want to lose him and she’s ready to try for a family however they can make it happen.
But we know Carter’s hiding a massive secret. It’s only a matter of time before the best friend betrayal by Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is going to come out and wreck Daphne’s life. Today we’re diving into what is next for Daphne as we get deeper into the fallout from Carter and Steffy’s big mistake.
Bold and the Beautiful: Daphne Does Complete Turn Around
So, right now, Daphne abruptly changed her mind about leaving Carter and about running off to Paris. Daphne decided she doesn’t want to end their marriage and Carter had was upset, but he had accepted that they were over. He truly believed Daphne was gone for good. Meanwhile, Steffy was convinced her marriage to Finn Finnegan (Tanner Novlan) was finished after the Monaco fallout and what happened with Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown). And that’s exactly why Steffy and Carter turned to each other for comfort.
Steffy & Carter Went Too Far on B&B
They crossed every line and had that Forrester Creations CEO couch hookup. And now he and Steffy are drowning in guilt. We still haven’t seen a flashback of them actually doing the deed. But I do not doubt it happened. I’ve seen some wild theories out there, clickbait stuff.
They didn’t hook up. I’m sticking to Steffy and Carter did actually do the deed because they woke up naked and her panties were 7 feet away over by the desk. Plus, Steffy knew they’d had sex.
It’s not like you wake up and don’t know what’s happened with your body. There are signs. She and Carter both knew what happened. That’s why Steffy ran off home and got in the shower immediately to try and wash Carter off her body and wash off the shame of what she’d done.
Bold and Beautiful: Steffy Ready to Confess
Steffy right now is on the verge of confessing to Finn and Carter may consider coming clean to Daphne. But in reality, I think they are both going to chicken out. I’d be stunned if either of them confessed. I don’t think Steffy will tell Finn. Maybe they’re interrupted. Or maybe Steffy just can’t do it. So, Carter and Steffy might decide the only way to protect the people they love is to bury this terrible secret forever.
And I can absolutely see Carter and Steffy vowing never speak of that night again. And they both agree. That way Finn and Daphne never have to get hurt and both their marriages will survive. But of course it’s a soap, so there will be complications. So, let’s talk about what comes next for Daphne now that she is back with Carter and we have this big secret looming.
So, first off, Daphne is finally ready to explore every possible option for her and Carter to start a family. Daphne realized she just can’t let Carter go. But she’s also still desperate for them to be parents. So, I suspect the next step to consider is in vitro fertilization. Carter already brought that up to her and at the time Daphne wasn’t ready to talk about any alternate paths to family. But now that she’s staying in LA and wants to fight for her marriage to Carter, looking into fertility treatments is the natural next move.
And Daphne’s open to it because they both want a family so badly. But this could all lead to a huge twist in the road on their baby journey. Because from there, another thing I can see happening with Daphne is that she takes Steffy up on her offer to donate an egg to her and Carter from Steffy’s stash of frozen eggs. That little info drop at the doctor’s office was made for a reason.
Secrets, Surrogacy, and Suspicions on B&B
But in the meantime, I think we’re going to find out Steffy is pregnant, and I think she’s going to have to get a paternity test on the sly to find out who’s the dad, which means she can’t tell Finn she’s pregnant. But I suspect Steffy is going to tell Carter and they have a moment of panic because Steffy turning up pregnant while her bestie is struggling with infertility. That alone is pure daytime drama. That’s bad enough.
But if the baby in Steffy’s belly is Carter’s, that is a ticking time bomb with Daphne and Finn both. And if Steffy is pregnant by Carter, I can see them panicking and trying to find a way out of the mess. One extremely soapy solution would be for Steffy to offer to donate an egg and to be their surrogate. And then she can tell Finn that she’s decided to do this and then she pretends to undergo IVF.
Steffy Hides the Truth on Bold
Any doctor would have to keep Steffy’s info private because of HIPAA, even from Finn. And if she’s smart, she would tell him that she’s going to use a private clinic. Steffy can’t use the hospital because he and Li Finnegan (Naomi Matsuda) could check into test results and stuff like that. So, on the surface, it would look like a generous offer and Daphne would be thrilled because it would look like Steffy was giving her best friend the ultimate gift.
And of course, she would know Daphne and Carter would be great parents. And Steffy may decide it’s best since the truth would destroy both their marriages and families. But we all know how these stories go. So, down the line, once the baby’s born, Steffy could have second thoughts about handing over her child.

Steffy Has Second Thoughts on B&B
That could be an issue. And despite the conception being hands-on instead of done in a lab, the biology would be the same if she had donated an egg, you know. But still Steffy might have misgivings just because she loves kids and that’s her kid. And then there’s a chance that Finn as a doctor might realize that the due date timing doesn’t fit the timing of the supposed IVF.
Another option we might have for Daphne is that she senses something is off with Carter. She can feel like he’s hiding a huge secret. And Daphne’s smart. She could notice little awkward moments between Carter and Steffy, lingering looks, tense silences, strange excuses not to be in the room together.
And eventually Daphne might put two and two together and somehow suspects they slept together. If that discovery happens after Steffy offered to be a surrogate and then turned up pregnant right away, I think Daphne’s suspicions could run wild. And of course, I don’t think her first thought would be Carter cheated with her best friend Steffy. But she would wonder if the timing is off, you know, that she got pregnant so fast. Daphne’s Spidey senses may be tingling.
Bold and the Beautiful: Carter & Steffy Busted
Also, people are overheard talking on Bold and the Beautiful all the time. So, Daphne might hear Carter and Steffy arguing or debating because bottom line, that level of betrayal would be devastating. We know the truth will eventually come out whether Steffy’s pregnant or not.
But then when Daphne finally learns that her husband Carter and best friend Steffy slept together, I think Daphne will be absolutely crushed, devastated, horrified, furious, all those feelings at once. And from there, we could see Daphne in a dilemma.
You know, she could pack her bags and just go to Paris, file divorce. Or she could sit on the secret, wait till Steffy gives birth, and then sign the adoption papers, take the kid, leave for Paris to punish both Steffy and Carter. I think long run, Daphne may forgive Carter because she dumped him, and it was a mistake.
But I don’t think the friendship between Daphne and Steffy will ever survive. Finn and Steffy’s marriage would also face an enormous test once the secret comes out. Finn might lose it on Steffy for cheating after she unfairly exploded on him because that is what happened. It was unfair. This plot has all the potential to be big, bold, and beautiful drama.
Bold and Beautiful: Carter’s Sad Track Record
Poor Carter always has bad luck with the ladies and he usually winds up with his heart broken. And this might be one more case if Daphne walks away from him over this little one-night thing. But in this case, it would be Carter’s fault that his heart’s broken.
I expect Daphne is going to stay in the dark for the next few weeks while Steffy starts to suspect maybe she’s pregnant and then realizes, “Whoops, there’s a chance it could be Carter’s kid.” But Steffy will need to hide her symptoms from Daphne and especially from her doctor husband Finn.
And by then, Steffy might have already offered Daphne one of her frozen eggs. And Daphne’s doctor may tell her she’s not a good candidate to carry a baby and they also need a surrogate. That would set the perfect stage for this major soapy drama.

Kylie Jenner’s Wedding Guest Dress Was Worn by Celine Dion
It looks like Kylie Jenner may have got her style inspo from the one and only Céline Dion.
Jenner, 29, stunned in a black version of a Roberto Cavalli dress once worn by Dion, 58, while celebrating Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns’ wedding. For the couple’s nuptials on August 15, Jenner looked ethereal in the sexy design, which featured a halter neck, cutouts on her sides adorned with silver crystals and a thigh-high slit.
She teamed the look with a statement ring and clear heels. Jenner posed with her boyfriend Timothée Chalamet at the wedding, who wore a leather blazer and gingham dress shirt. Some critics claimed that Jenner’s dress was a bit too showy for the ceremony, while others defended her sartorial choice as following the all-black dress code.
Social media users were quick to share their reactions to Jenner’s racy look.
“The dress was pushing it already, but the see-through heels are just so ridiculous for a wedding?!” one wrote, while another added, “Her dress stands out amongst everybody for having soo much skin showing.” A third agreed, “That is way too much skin for a wedding, The dress would be perfect for clubbing or Vegas night, but not a wedding.”
While some thought her dress was too revealing, others didn’t see a problem with it. “I don’t think it’s inappropriate for a best friends wedding tbh,” one pointed out. A second commented, “This wouldn’t pass at like a Catholic wedding in St. Louis but that’s not what this is. I think it’s fine in this context.” A third gushed over her ensemble, writing, “Kylie looks good she a sexy young girl having fun. The dress is very her style.”
For glam, Jenner donned a full beat featuring dewy skin, filled-in eyebrows, sun kissed cheeks, smokey eyeshadow and pink lips. She wore her hair down and styled in a bouncy blowout.
As for Dion, the chart-topping performer previously wore a cream version of the dress at the 2003 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas. Complete with the same delicate crystals, she teamed the look with silver peep-toe heels and diamond earrings.
Dion made her look even more dramatic with contoured cheeks, filled-in eyebrows, long lashes and sparkly eyeshadow. She topped off her makeup with glossy lips and a touch of mascara. Dion’s hair, which was platinum blonde at the time, was cut in a pixie cut with her ends voluminously curled.
This isn’t the first time Jenner has matched with another star. In 2023, she wore a black Schiaparelli dress featuring a lion’s head on her shoulder during Paris Fashion Week. Irina Shayk wore the same look while walking down the runway at the designer’s haute couture spring/summer 2023 show in Paris.
Jenner let the look speak for itself, opting for an updo with side bangs, similar to the slicked-back updo Shayk, 40, sported on the runway.

Apple TV’s Best Spy Thriller Is Resurrecting a Fan-Favorite Character in Its Most Explosive Season Yet
Through its first five seasons, it’s been clear that Apple TV’s Slow Horses refuses to rest on its laurels, with each new installment even twistier and more shocking than the last. Whether we’ve had to mourn several beloved Slough House agents or gasp at the way their thrilling adventures unfold, the spy drama never fails to keep us on the edge of our seats. Now, with a Season 6 trailer that dropped this week, Slow Horses is demonstrating through one character’s return that it has no intention of playing it safe.
‘Slow Horses’ New Trailer Reveals the Return of a Season 1 Fan-Favorite
The protagonist of Slow Horses is River Cartwright (Jack Lowden), an agent relegated to MI5’s Slough House because of a disastrous training exercise. In Season 1, he meets Sidonie Baker (Olivia Cooke), another Slough House agent who helps to uncover clues about the kidnapping of a student by extremists. In Episode 2, River decides to follow a lead, and Sid tags along. She ends up confessing to River that the only reason she’s at Slough House is to keep an eye on him, and she received that assignment from MI5 boss herself, Diana Taverner (Kristin Scott Thomas). Before she can explain further, Sid is shot in the head by a masked man. River later visits a comatose Sid in the hospital, clearly feeling guilty that he got her mixed up in a more dangerous plot. Later in the season, Taverner tells Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) that Sid has died, but we never actually see her death or her body, or even get true confirmation that she’s gone. In fact, we learn that all information about Sid has been completely erased from MI5’s servers — almost as if she never existed in the first place.
Several seasons of Slow Horses have passed, and even though Sid hasn’t resurfaced, many viewers have wondered if she could still be alive. The trailer for Season 6 reveals that the agents of Slough House are being hunted. After Lamb makes a snarky comment about how all spies have “faked their deaths at one time or another,” the trailer jumps to River walking up a stairway where none other than Sid, looking very alive and well, is standing at the top. She greets River, and the clear shock of her presence registers on his face. Anyone who has read the book series by Mick Herron knows that Sid would likely return, but for most viewers, her reappearance is wildly surprising.
‘Slow Horses’ Season 6 Is Sure To Be a Twisty Thrill Ride
Previously, it was announced that Season 6 would adapt two of Herron’s novels, promising even more drama over just six episodes. With the intriguing premise of the Slough House agents, both past and present, being hunted and executed, this puts all of our favorite characters in danger, including Louisa (Rosalind Eleazar), who is also back this season. What seems most thrilling is what else the show could have in store. If Apple TV was willing to put such a gigantic shocker as Sid’s return in the Season 6 trailer, it certainly seems like there will be even bigger twists and turns to come. Frank Harkness (Hugo Weaving), River’s father, also pops up in the sneak peek, which already guarantees a lot more chaos. Who knows which other characters will return, or how the Slow Horses will actually get themselves out of the danger they’re in?
Because Season 6 doesn’t drop until next month, there’s plenty of time for fans to rewatch and jog their memories about Sid’s role in the Slough House drama, as well as all the trials and tribulations the agents have gone through. One thing is certain: seeing the brilliant Cooke (currently slaying on HBO’s House of the Dragon) back on Slow Horses is an exciting prospect, and Season 6 is already looking like a fantastic reentry into Apple TV’s spy world.
Seasons 1-5 of Slow Horses are available to stream on Apple TV in the U.S., with Season 6 set to premiere September 16.

Hayden Panettiere’s Ex Brian Hickerson Breaks Silence on Her Death
Hayden Panettiere‘s ex Brian Hickerson spoke out for the first time after her sudden death.
“Hayden’s death remains under investigation and it is important to allow that investigation to proceed,” Hickerson’s attorney Sloan Ellis told TMZ on Thursday, August 20. “As has been publicly reported, police confirmed there were no signs of foul play. Out of respect for Hayden’s loved ones and the ongoing investigation, there will be no further comment at this time.”
News broke on Sunday, August 16 that Panettiere died at age 36. At the time, TMZ reported that Panettiere traveled with Hickerson, 37, from Los Angeles to South Carolina one day before her death. Local authorities confirmed on Monday, August 17 that they received reports of an “unresponsive female” at a residence, who was later identified as Panettiere.
First responders attempted to resuscitate Panettiere using “advanced cardiac life support,” according to TMZ. In addition to CPR, the tactics included special medicines, breathing tubes and heart rhythm tracking. Panettiere was reportedly pronounced dead after the paramedics’ efforts were unable to revive her.
Two ambulances responded to the scene, according to an update reported by TMZ, which noted the residence was where Hickerson had been living with his brother.

Hayden Panettiere and Brian Hickerson MEGA
In dispatch audio obtained by People, officials were heard discussing an “overdose” and “cardiac arrest” around the time of Panettiere’s death. (A cause of death was not immediately revealed.)
Panettiere and Hickerson faced their fair share of ups and downs since they started dating in 2018. Hickerson was originally arrested for domestic violence in 2018 after an alleged argument between the pair.
Hickerson was charged with felony domestic violence, which resulted in a prosecutor-requested protective order. The order mandated that Hickerson could not come within 100 yards of Panettiere or contact her via phone, email or third party, but the charges were dropped the following year.

The actor was arrested again in July 2020 after allegedly punching Panettiere in the face. He pleaded no contest to two felony counts of injuring a spouse or girlfriend, and his remaining six counts of domestic violence and assault were dismissed. Hickerson served 33 days in prison and was also placed on four years of probation and required to pay a $500 fine.
Amid Hickerson’s legal issues, Panettiere publicly reunited with her ex-boyfriend multiple times. Panettiere later addressed her tumultuous relationship with Hickerson, telling The New York Times in April 2023 that she reconnected with Hickerson after they both became sober.
“I did not do any of this lightly,” she explained at the time about letting Hickerson back into her life after his past arrests for domestic violence. “He knows he deserved what happened to him.”
She noted that their reconciliation was “contingent on him continuing” on his road of recovery.
Panettiere offered more details about their tumultuous romance in her May memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.
“It was brutal. It was traumatic. It was emotional. It was important for me to word that experience properly,” Panettiere exclusively told Us at the time. “I needed to believe that it happened for a reason. For something so horrible to happen, the only thing that I could think of to make it all worth it, was [to] let people know that they’re not alone and help people.”
She added: “[I’m] making sure that the people that have gone through similar things, don’t feel like they’re alone, and don’t feel like nobody understands them and knows that there’s somebody out there who went through it. And even though it took her years to truly get herself out of the situation, it’s possible. You can do it.”
Hickerson, meanwhile, spoke out about his past legal issues.
“Man, I mean, I think it speaks for itself … I got arrested for abusing her,” Hickerson said in an interview with TMZ that same month. “And I wouldn’t blame her friends for being pissed off at me. … I had a lot to drink and I got physical with her. I got arrested. I spent the night in jail and that’s just what happens when you lay hands on women.”
Hickerson said he has “had a couple opportunities to apologize” to Panettiere for the abuse.
“Our relationship now is … I think it’s just a mutual respect thing. She’ll always hold a special place in my heart and, you know, I hope the same for her,” he said.
In the same interview, Hickerson also admitted he was still holding out hope of one day marrying the actress. “Yeah, of course… I hope so — she probably doesn’t think the same way,” he told TMZ, noting it was in her best interests to let her walk her own path. “I think that Hayden is one of the most talented people I’ve ever met in my life, and I would be an idiot not to walk away from her and let her flourish in her career.”
Panettiere is survived by her 11-year-old daughter, Kaya, whom she shared with boxer Wladimir Klitschko, and her parents, Skip Panettiere and Lesley Vogel.

Young and the Restless: Billy’s Ruthless Chase of Chancellor Destroys His Future With Sally!
Young and the Restless reveals that Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) just uncovered what he thinks is the ultimate golden ticket. He has got proof that the Abbotts own Chancellor Industries and Billy is already popping champagne and toasting to his own victory.
The problem is he hadn’t told Sally Spectra (Courtney Hope) yet. She’s carrying Billy’s baby and she’s wearing his ring. But he told Audra Charles before he filled in his fiancée. And when pregnant Sally saw Billy with Audra, the look on her face said everything. Let’s break down how Billy’s power grab may ruin his relationship and their future.
Young and the Restless: Billy Going Wild
So, this week, Billy has already been running amuck, getting aggressive, acting like an addict who made a big score. While Sally was out of town dealing with her sister Coco’s surgery, Billy went into full aggro mode. He dug into old Chancellor records and he found evidence of an unpaid loan. The documents say John Abbott (Jerry Douglas) loaned money to Philip Chancellor and the papers say it was never repaid.
And the loan default puts Chancellor into Abbott hands, specifically into Billy’s hands because his siblings want nothing to do with this. But without waiting for the lawyers to finish vetting the papers, Billy went ahead and confronted Cane Ashby (Billy Flynn) and Lily Winters (Christel Khalil). He doubled down hard, told them he was taking Chancellor from them and then insulted Cane with a job offer and first told Holden he didn’t have a job and then tried to lure him in. Power hungry is already happening.
Billy Obsessed on Y&R
As always, when it comes to Chancellor, Billy is obsessed. He feels like he’s owed the company. It was never his company. It was Jill Abbott‘s(Jess Walton). And Katherine Chancellor (Jeanne Cooper) left it to Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) in her will, not Jill, not Billy. And in fact, Jill and Katherine tried to get Billy to embrace the legacy, but he had issues back then. Later, Jill let him run Chancellor, but then Billy bungled it. And so Jill pushed him aside and she that’s when she sold it to Victor.
And I will agree, the way that Jill handled that sale to Victor was very poorly done. But in the end, it was her company to do with what she wanted, not Billy’s. He always felt entitled to it. And then he felt cheated by Jill. Now Billy’s found a way to take it from Lily. And his obsession has been front and center all week on Young and the Restless.
Young and Restless: Billy Keeps Making Terrible Choices
And then we had that celebration scene. Billy at the GCAC, champagne in hand, looking like he won the lottery. Audra Charles (Zuleyka Silver) walked up and instead of Billy waiting to tell Sally first, his ego had his mouth running. And Billy told Audra about Chancellor and said he could be running it as soon as next week. And when Audra asked, “Oh, what does Sally think?”
Billy just brushed it off and he said he’s certain that Sally will support him. And that’s when Billy’s fiancée walked in earlier than expected and saw him and Audra boozing it up together. Sally did not look happy at all. Audra just exited real fast. And then Billy launched into his “I’ve got big news” speech. And he told Sally about the decades old loan and that he thinks Jill hid it from him. Billy says this is finally his chance to claim what is rightfully his.
Just a quick side note, because I don’t think Josh Griffith has ever had an actual job out in the real business world, those loan documents probably wouldn’t hold up. Most loans have a statute of limitations once they go into default and that loan is very old. Plus, Chancellor has been bought, sold, merged, unmerged. So, it’s likely unenforceable also because liens have to be declared in a sale. Like, if you’re selling your house and there’s a lien on it, it has to be declared. The only way that this would work is if there was fraud somewhere along the way.
But since Katherine didn’t seem to know about the loan and then she willed the company to Victor and Victor didn’t know about it and sold it to Jill, you know, that loan stuff was already dead in the water. And maybe Jill stumbled across the old papers, the same ones Billy did, and just left them buried, you know, but since it’s not the real world, I think the writers are just going to go with it, not with actual business law.

Young and the Restless: Sally Needs Stability
So, back to Sally. She politely listened to Billy, but you can see it in her eyes. This isn’t what Sally wanted to come home to. And she tells Billy, “It’s going to be a long, ugly fight.” And she said the second he brought up Chancellor, her heart just sank. But Billy insists, “This time it’s different.” Isn’t that what addicts always say? He said, “It’s about legacy, not ego.” Yet, we’ve seen his ego all over Genoa City this week. If it were about legacy, Katherine would have left Chancellor to him or Jill.
Billy claims he’s not the same man who used to chase power at the expense of everything. But Sally isn’t convinced. I’m not convinced. And Billy clearly is chasing power. He’s already rubbing it in people’s faces. And he’s got a long track record of choosing wars and vendettas over the people who care about him. And he’s doing it again with Sally.
Every time Billy gets close to real stability and a happily ever after, he engages in these high-risk behaviors. It used to be gambling and now it’s Chancellor. With Sally pregnant and them engaged, you know, she and Billy are supposed to be planning a wedding and their future, but instead of focusing on Sally and the baby, Billy’s igniting a war with Cane and Lily and probably Victor as soon as he finds out what Billy boy is up to. And he did all this and started it all behind Sally’s back. Billy didn’t consult her before he leapt into it.
Sally in an Impossible Situation on Y&R
Think about the position Sally’s in. Pregnancy hormones, a past stillbirth, wedding plans, running Spectra, trying to stay healthy for her pregnancy. The last thing Sally needs is to be babysitting Billy when he is spiraling. And the fact that he told Audra first is a problem. It shows Billy’s lack of self-control and that his addiction is driving him. Sally’s in the same position she was with her dad back in the day when he was out chasing schemes.
The best case is Billy is able to legally take over Chancellor and there’s zero backlash. But that seems highly unlikely. What’s more likely is this turns into a long messy fight. Cane and Lily start playing dirty. Victor starts attacking Billy this week. We know that. And he may start targeting Sally’s company, too. And Sally’s already seeing red flags with Billy. He’s once again treating Chancellor like it’s the most important thing in his life, the thing he can’t live without. When that should be Sally and the baby, who are Billy’s priorities. That’s the problem with dating an addict. The addiction always comes first.
Young and Restless: Sally Won’t Tolerate Billy’s Nonsense
We’ve seen Sally walk away from toxic situations before, like when she dumped Adam, when he wasn’t behaving right. And if Billy thinks that Sally’s going to stick around while he neglects her and the baby, I don’t think Billy has actually met Sally Spectra. She is stronger than people give her credit for.
And I don’t think she’s going to let her kid grow up the same way she did because her dad was always chasing schemes and cons and then she was left to clean up the mess. Sally doesn’t want to do that anymore. And Billy is so much like her dad. And of course, Sally hates how she grew up. So, this seems like a train wreck about to happen. And I don’t think Billy can see past his obsession to see what he’s about to lose.
In his mind, he’s fighting for his legacy, and he’s gonna try and say that he’s trying to make a better life for Sally and the baby. But in reality, Billy is repeating toxic behaviors that cost him relationships in the past, and he’s about to blow up the best thing that has happened to him in a long time, which is Sally.
Whether the Abbotts are technically entitled to Chancellor or not, I don’t think this is going to be a good thing for Sally and Billy. He may think that once he’s CEO of Chancellor, that’s it, his life’s perfect, but it won’t be because Billy’s self-destructive. You can blame Jill for part of his behavior, but at this point, he’s a grown man making his own choices. And I expect when the dust settles, Sally’s going to walk out on Billy.

Jen Affleck Makes Candid Confession About Marriage
“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star Jen Affleck said she and her husband Zac Affleck are going through a difficult time right now. The reality star, 27, got candid about their challenges in a new interview. But despite the challenges, Jen said that she was beginning to see things turn around for the better over the last few weeks.
Speaking with PEOPLE, Jen said the last few months of her marriage to her husband, Zac, have been quite a challenge. While she didn’t reveal why they were struggling, the reality star documented her move from Utah to Orange County, California, and learned during the move that she was pregnant with her fourth child.
And while difficult, Jen said that she’s hopeful things are on the mend. “I do feel like I’m seeing the light at the end of the tunnel and just trying to count my blessings every single day,” she said.
Jen Affleck Shares Why She’s Decided To Open Up About Struggles
During all of that, Jen also joined the cast of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County” spinoff and underwent surgery for an infected wisdom tooth.
While reflecting on her journey, Jen also opened up about her decision to share her story with others, saying one of her primary goals is to help people.
“I think I’m in a very unique and interesting situation, where maybe people can’t relate with being Mormon and having four kids at such a young age, but I do think there are different things that people can relate with,” she said. “I think there’s always going to be hate, and there’s always going to be criticism, but as long as one person is benefiting from me sharing my story, that’s all that matters to me.”
Jen And Zac Affleck Have Struggled Before
This isn’t the first time that Jen has spoken out about her relationship struggles with Zac. In a previous interview, the reality star confirmed that she and Zac split during the earlier seasons of “SLOMW.” She also confirmed that their marital woes led them to therapy.
Before that, Jen clapped back at social media users who shared critical messages about her marriage, saying she didn’t “care” about other people’s thoughts. “At the end of the day, I’ll always prioritize what’s best for me regardless of others’ opinions. The truth about marriage and raising kids is that it’s challenging. There will be ups and downs, and mistakes will be made. But as long as both partners are committed to choosing each other and putting in the effort, that’s what truly matters,” she said.
Jen Has Dealt With Parental Depression
In addition to her struggles with Zac, Jen recently told The Blast that she’s dealt with “prenatal depression” as well.
“Prenatal depression was rough this time. It’s been honestly hard with every pregnancy, but especially this time, just because so much was happening with moving to a new state,” she said, adding that her busy schedule with the show and “Dancing with the Stars” put more pressure on her than she imagined.
What’s To Come On OC ‘Mormon Wives’?
Elsewhere during her interview with The Blast, Jen reflected on the upcoming new season of the Orange County iteration of “SLOMW.” While she can’t share much yet, Jen said fans should be ready for a variety of completely new personalities.
“It’s just a different group and with each group, there is going to be different personalities, different needs, and I guess the biggest difference I would say is the dynamic between a lot of the girls,” she said. “I don’t want to spoil anything, but there is pretty much a huge divide within the group when it comes to religion.”
