Ashley Tisdale is proving she’s thriving, both personally and professionally, despite recent drama making headlines. The “High School Musical” alum is celebrating a huge win with her wellness and beauty brand, Being Frenshe. Created in partnership with beauty incubator Maesa, the line was inspired by Ashley Tisdale’s wellness blog and focuses on scented hair care, body mists, and fragrances.

Ashley Tisdale’s ‘Being Frenshe’ Hits $250M, Turning Past ‘Failure’ Into Major Comeback

According to Women’s Wear Daily, the company has officially surpassed $250 million in sales and reached $100 million in annual point-of-sale sales at Target, a major achievement for the brand, which launched in 2022.

The milestone marks a full-circle moment for Tisdale, who previously launched Illuminate Cosmetics in 2016, a venture that ultimately shut down in 2020. “It was very stressful. I just felt like it was probably the biggest failure in my career thus far,” she admitted.

Now, with Being Frenshe’s success, Tisdale has solidified her transition from actress to entrepreneur.

Tisdale Surprised By Her Own Passion For Fragrance

Tisdale also opened up about discovering a love for fragrance creation, something she didn’t initially expect. “I just never thought it would be my cup of tea,” she said. “I’ve been someone who’s obsessed with candles and fragrance, but to create a line that people love and go on TikTok to share how much they love the scent, it just makes you feel so good.”

As Ashley Tisdale celebrates the massive success of Being Frenshe, past comments about her approach to self-care are taking on new meaning. Long before launching the brand, Tisdale emphasized how important wellness was in her life, especially when it came to skincare and mental health.

“One thing that I have always done is spend a lot more on my skin care than my makeup,” she told Vogue in 2022. “Self-care is super important to me, and skin care is a part of that. I’m very open about how I’ve struggled with mental health.” As a result, Tisdale has built small daily rituals to keep herself centered, such as opening a window, lighting a candle, or sticking to her morning and nighttime skincare routines.

Ashley Tisdale Opens Up About Feeling ‘Left Out’ In Viral ‘Toxic Mom Group’ Essay

The business win comes on the heels of Tisdale’s viral essay for The Cut, where she detailed her experience leaving what she described as a “toxic” Hollywood mom group. In the piece, titled “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group,” Tisdale opened up about feeling excluded during her postpartum period after welcoming her second daughter, Emerson, with husband Christopher French.

She described seeing social gatherings on social media that she hadn’t been invited to, writing, “It took me back to an unpleasant but familiar feeling I thought I’d left behind years ago.”

“Here I was sitting alone one night after getting my daughter to bed thinking, ‘Maybe I’m not cool enough?’” she wrote. “All of a sudden, I was in high school again, feeling totally lost as to what I was doing wrong to be left out.”

Tisdale Says Mom Group Turned ‘Too High School’ As Hilary Duff, Meghan Trainor Rumors Swirl

While Tisdale didn’t name names, fans quickly speculated the group may have included stars like Hilary Duff, Mandy Moore, and Meghan Trainor. Tisdale said she eventually confronted the group, telling them things had become ‘too high school’ for her.

“To be clear, I have never considered the moms to be bad people (maybe one),” she claimed. “But I do think our group dynamic stopped being healthy and positive, for me anyway.”

The situation sparked additional reactions, including criticism from Duff’s husband and a response from Trainor, who said, “I think it was just a lot of miscommunication and confusion.” “I don’t really know what happened, but I wish them all the best. I texted all of them. Ashley texted me, ‘I’m sorry, your name got dragged in,” she revealed.

Ashley Tisdale Stands By Viral Essay, Says It ‘Reached Who It Needed To Reach’

Despite the backlash, Tisdale made it clear she stands by her decision to share her experience. “I think that in the audience, it was for, the response I got was pretty amazing. It reached who it needed to reach,” the actress said.

Vice President JD Vance revealed his pregnant wife Usha Vance’s reaction to him being rushed off stage during the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting.

“I think, honestly, it was tougher for my wife, who was at home with the kids and started hearing things through text messages and social media, than it was for me,” JD, 41, told Fox News on Monday, April 29. “I really didn’t know what was going on.”

The vice president was evacuated from the ballroom of the Washington Hilton several seconds before Secret Service agents got President Donald Trump out of the room when shots broke out on Saturday, April 25. (Trump, 79, later explained to 60 Minutes that he “wanted to see what was going on” before evacuating the ballroom with his wife, first lady Melania Trump.)

Describing the harrowing events, JD told Fox News, “I’m sitting up there on the dais with some journalists and obviously the President of the United States a few seats to my right. There’s a lot of commotion. You hear some loud noises. I had no idea what it was.”

President Donald Trump praised first lady Melania Trump’s reaction to a shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “I want to thank the first lady, that was a rather traumatic experience for her,” Trump, 79, told reporters from the White House on Saturday, April 25. “We’re not going to let anybody take over our society, […]

“Before I had any idea what was going on, I started seeing people duck under their tables or respond to what was going on far in the back of the ballroom,” he went on. “An agent comes and whispers in my ear, says basically, ‘Sir, we have to leave.’ … The agent sort of lifts me to my feet and I walk off stage and go to my hold room and wait and see what’s going on.”

JD admitted that he wasn’t really “freaked out” until he heard that a Secret Service agent had been shot. (A bullet struck the agent’s protective vest and he was hospitalized for treatment.)

“In the fog of war, I actually thought, ‘This guy is seriously injured or maybe worse,’” the politician remembered. “We found later that he was not seriously injured. As you learn this information, the thing that I really gained an appreciation for, is what an amazing job the agents of the Secret Service do.”

California native Cole Tomas Allen was apprehended during the shooting and subsequently charged with attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, transportation of a firearm and ammunition in interstate commerce with intent to commit a felony, and discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence, per the Justice Department. He has not yet entered a plea.

Meanwhile, the Vances announced in January that Usha is pregnant with their fourth child. (They also share sons Ewan, 8, and Vivek, 5, and daughter Mirabel, 3.)

“We’re very excited to share the news that Usha is pregnant with our fourth child, a boy,” the Vances announced on January 20. “Usha and the baby are doing well, and we are all looking forward to welcoming him in late July.”

Their statement concluded, “During this exciting and hectic time, we are particularly grateful for the military doctors who take excellent care of our family and for the staff members who do so much to ensure that we can serve the country while enjoying a wonderful life with our children.”

In March, Usha opened up to NBC News about her and JD’s decision to have a fourth child.

“I grew up in a family of two, and I thought that was a great number. And then I had two kids, and I thought — I didn’t feel quite done, right? So I really wanted to have a third child,” she explained. “We did feel very complete with a third child, in many ways. We have our daughter, who’s amazing, and it was great. And so I just wasn’t sure. But as time passed, I realized that I was feeling more and more excited about that possibility.”

Usha added, “And so if there was a chance, I should take it. I knew that I’d be happy if we only had three kids, and I knew that I’d be happy if we had four. And so here we are.”

The Vances have been married since 2014.

Timothée Chalamet’s relationship with Kylie Jenner has taken center stage once again, and this time, it is not just gossip driving the conversation. 

The actor’s growing openness about his romance is now causing a noticeable shift among his most dedicated fans. 

Some are walking away entirely, while others are questioning what this new chapter means for his image. 

At the same time, insiders say the couple is moving forward seriously, even as outside reactions continue to intensify.

Timothée Chalamet’s fan base has hit a breaking point, led by one of his most recognizable supporters. 

Simone Cromer, the 59-year-old behind Club Chalamet, officially stepped away from the actor, ending years of devotion.

Cromer had previously expressed “pain and heartache” over his relationship with Kylie Jenner, even going as far as editing the socialite out of images and refusing to mention her by name. 

However, she ultimately chose to leave the fandom herself, citing how much things had changed. “To deny the obvious is to be obtuse and bury your head in the sand,” she wrote in an Instagram post on Saturday.

“This fan community is not the same as it was four years ago. The notable shift was exactly 12 months ago, and the clock started to tick. Basically, so much has changed from what we all initially signed up for that it doesn’t resemble what lured us here in the first place,” Cromer added.

Her exit mirrors a past pattern. Years earlier, she had been a dedicated supporter of actor Michael Fassbender before stepping away around the time he married Alicia Vikander. 

Now, it appears Cromer has shifted her attention again, this time toward rising actor Connor Storrie.

Chalamet And Kylie Grow Serious Behind Closed Doors

Despite fan backlash, Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner appear to be growing closer than ever. 

According to insiders, the relationship has reached a deeply personal level, with the “Dune” star becoming part of Kylie’s inner circle.

“Kylie’s entire family loves Timothée,” one insider told the Daily Mail. “He calls them his second family. When he’s in LA he and Kylie live together in her Hidden Hills home and he is very involved with her children, Stormi and Aire. Kylie told him there’s no one else she’d consider having another child with,” they added. 

The couple has reportedly built a stable dynamic, spending time together privately while also supporting each other publicly. 

Their bond has only strengthened as they navigate increasing attention, with insiders suggesting they are focused on maintaining what they’ve built.

Timothée Chalamet Faces Proposal Talk As Kylie Jenner Hesitates

Chalamet may be ready for the next step, but Kylie is approaching things more cautiously. 

Sources say the 30-year-old has discussed proposing, though Kylie is not eager to rush into marriage.

“Timothée has talked proposing to Kylie, but she doesn’t want to get married, at least not yet. She told him when couples get married things usually start to go downhill,” an insider shared.

According to them, Chalamet has been seeking advice from Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner, and sister, Kendall Jenner, on how to make his girlfriend change her mind. 

The reality TV star’s hesitation is said to stem from her family’s history, which includes several high-profile divorces. 

That reality has shaped her outlook, making her more careful about long-term commitments.

Even so, her family reportedly supports the relationship and frequently encourages the couple to make things official.

Inside Chalamet And Kylie’s Relationship Timeline From Private To Public

Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner first crossed paths in January 2023 during Paris Couture Week at a Jean Paul Gaultier show. By April, rumors of a romance had begun circulating, though the pair kept things quiet.

They eventually confirmed their relationship publicly at a Beyoncé concert in September 2023 before appearing together at the US Open. 

From there, they became more visible, attending events and gradually embracing public displays of affection.

By early 2024, Kylie was a regular presence at award shows alongside Chalamet, including their Golden Globes debut.

Their growing comfort in the spotlight led to increased speculation, especially during this year’s awards season.

Things became even more intense after a viral video appeared to show Ariana Grande asking, “Oh my God, are you guys engaged?” 

Around the same time, Chalamet gave a coy response in an interview when asked if he had a girlfriend and if he would get married, saying, “You’re going to get me in trouble, man,” before adding, “Yes. Yes.”

Timothée Chalamet And Kylie Jenner Adjust Life After Public Scrutiny

After a highly publicized awards season, Chalamet and Kylie are reportedly trying to dial things back and focus on their private life. 

The lovebirds have been spending time together away from the spotlight, including a recent beach getaway and a courtside appearance at a New York Knicks game.

“They’re currently enjoying the life they have made for each other,” a second insider said. The source added that they want to maintain their current balance without disrupting it too quickly, noting, “He’s still able to film and be away and she can be a mom and do her thing.”

The insider continued, “But if it were up to Kris and the rest of the family, they would want Kylie married yesterday. They bring it up to her all the time. ‘When are you getting married?’ ‘When am I getting more grandkids?”

According to them, Kylie’s family loves Chalamet and would want them to have a huge wedding and a big family. They also noted that her sisters are certain the actor is the right one for her.

Charlize Theron is drawing a firm line when it comes to her future relationships.

During an appearance on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” the Oscar-winning actress revealed she has no intention of ever living with a partner again, despite still being open to love.

The “Mad Max” star explained that her priorities have shifted. She said her children, Jackson, 14, and August, 11, are taking center stage. She also revealed that they have started asking more questions about her dating life. While Theron isn’t closing the door on romance, she made it clear any future partner will need to live nearby, but not under the same roof.

While appearing on “The Drew Barrymore Show,” Theron opened up about a boundary she has set for future relationships, revealing she has no plans to ever live with a partner again. According to the actress, she’s serious about the decision, even if some people close to her still think she’s joking.

That doesn’t mean she’s against closeness. The “Bombshell” star stressed that connection still matters, but on her own terms.

“I would love for you to be close, like buy the house down the street, but I don’t know if I can,” she said, per PEOPLE Magazine.

Theron Says Her Kids Come First

Theron made it clear her children are at the heart of her decision. Explaining her stance, the actress suggested it may be tied to the fact that she still shares her home with her two daughters, Jackson and August.

“Maybe it’s because I still have my daughters in the house, and maybe that will change when I’m an empty nester, but I’m looking for something very specific,” she said.

Her remarks struck a chord with Barrymore, who acknowledged that the choice did appear rooted in putting her children first. Theron doubled down, admitting it’s “impossible” not to, while emphasizing that her kids will always come before anything else in her life.

Charlize Theron’s Kids Cheer On Her Dating Life

Now teenagers, Theron’s children have started taking a keen interest in their mom’s romantic life, often asking questions and encouraging her to put herself out there.

That shift caught Theron off guard. She admitted she once worried her daughters might feel threatened by her dating, but the opposite has proven true.

“My kids are at an age now where they actually enjoy that I’m dating because they want to be involved,” she shared during her chat with Barrymore.

She added with a laugh, “It’s really funny how I was scared they’d be threatened by it, and now they’re like, ‘Mom, is he texting you? Like, go on the date, mom.’”

The Actress Always Planned To Adopt Children

Theron has long been clear about what she wanted her family to look like. The actress adopted her daughters, Jackson in 2012 and August in 2015, and revealed that adoption was always part of her plan, even while navigating relationships.

“Even when I was in relationships, I was always honest with my partners that adoption was how my family would look one day,” she said in a previous interview.

Theron also noted that she never seriously considered having children any other way, stressing that adoption was always her foremost choice.

“This was definitely not a second option for me. It was always my first,” she added.

Theron isn’t sugarcoating the realities of motherhood. Speaking on an April 2026 episode of the “New Heights” podcast with Travis and Jason Kelce, the actress admitted that raising her daughters can be intense at times.

She joked that her kids can “just turn into hormonal nightmares,” especially when tensions run high between them.

“When they fight, I actually got worried,” Theron said. “I was like, am I not doing the right thing? Like, they’re gonna kill each other because they’re both very, very strong.”

Still, she made it clear that their fiery personalities come with a positive side.

“They’re not wallflowers. They’re stubborn, and they’re just firecrackers,” she added, before noting, “When they love, they love very hard.”

Kelly Ripa isn’t just casually name-dropping her skincare — she’s fully sold on it. The one product that she claims has “changed her entire routine?” The L’Oreal Paris Revitalift Triple Power Age-Defying Face Serum. The 53-year-old TV host and L’Oréal Paris partner recently shared on Instagram that the serum has been the “skin savior of [her] life” as she navigates different climates, giving followers a glimpse into the product she consistently reaches for. For someone known for her consistently fresh, smooth complexion, that kind of rave review hits.

The serum’s standout ingredient is hyaluronic acid, a hydration heavyweight that pulls moisture into the skin to create that instantly plumped, more supple look. Using different forms of hyaluronic acid, it delivers both surface-level smoothing and deeper hydration support. Translation: skin looks dewier right away, but with continued use, it can also help soften the appearance of fine lines and dryness-related texture. The texture itself is lightweight, slightly gel-like and sinks in quickly, so it won’t interfere with the rest of your routine or pill under makeup.

Beyond hydration, the formula is designed to support a smoother, more refreshed overall look. Ingredients like glycerin help reinforce moisture retention while the fragrance-free base makes it easy to use even if your skin leans sensitive. This anti-aging skin savior quietly does a lot — it’s plumping, smoothing and gives skin that subtle bounce that makes everything else (foundation, concealer, even bare skin) look better.

There’s a reason some celebrities always look extra radiant on the red carpet — it’s not just makeup, it’s what they use underneath it. And when someone with consistently glowing, camera-ready skin shares a go-to, it’s worth paying attention. That’s exactly the case with Kelly Ripa, who relies on a $19 drugstore serum to keep […]

Using it is simple and low-effort. Apply a few drops onto clean, slightly damp skin morning and night, then follow with your moisturizer to lock it in. It layers seamlessly with other products, so whether your routine is minimal or packed with actives, it fits right in without overcomplicating things.

One Amazon reviewer who noticed the formula made their skin “noticeably smoother” and resulted in “fewer fine lines” wrote: “My texture looks smoother, and my fine lines appear softer. It feels lightweight, absorbs quickly and leaves my skin looking more refreshed and even.”

If you’re looking for a straightforward way to upgrade your skin without overthinking it — or overspending — this is one of those skincare staples that earns its hype. Add it to your routine now to see why Ripa says it completely changed hers!

Meghan McCain predicted a huge upset victory for The Hills star Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral race.

“I’m telling you this guy is going to win,” McCain, 41, wrote via X on Wednesday, April 29.

The former View panelist responded enthusiastically to a new campaign ad from Pratt, 42, where he visited Mayor Karen Bass and rival candidate Councilwoman Nithya Raman’s L.A.-area homes.

“This is where Mayor Bass lives. Notice something? Or, here where Nithya Raman’s $3 million mansion sits,” he declares. “They don’t have to live in the mess they’ve created.”

Spencer Pratt joining The Hills was no coincidence. Pratt details his entire TV journey in his upcoming book, The Guy You Loved to Hate, out January 27, beginning with the short-lived Princes of Malibu, a show he sold to Fox starring his best friend Brody Jenner. When Princes didn’t last after Jenner’s mom, Linda Thompson, […]

The ad then cut to Pratt standing in front of a trailer where he and wife Heidi Montag lived after they lost their homes in the 2025 California wildfires. (Pratt and Montag share two children: Gunner Stone Pratt, 8, and Ryker Rock Pratt, 3.)

“This is where I live,” he said in a scene outside the trailer. “They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That’s why I’m running for mayor, for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos who want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city. We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Mayor Bass and Councilwoman Raman’s campaigns for comment.

In January, Pratt announced his bid for Los Angeles mayor on the anniversary of the Palisades Fire, which killed 12 people and burned more than 6,800 homes near Pacific Palisades, California.

“The system in Los Angeles isn’t struggling, it’s fundamentally broken,” Pratt said at the “They Let Us Burn” public demonstration. “It is a machine designed to protect the people at the top and the friends they exchange favors with while the rest of us drown in toxic smoke and ash. Business as usual is a death sentence for Los Angeles, and I’m done waiting for someone to take real action.”

Pratt has risen in recent polls to become a legitimate contender in the race and received endorsements from Joe Rogan, The Hills costar Kristin Cavallari and podcaster Nick Viall, among others.

“This is more The Hills, but coming off of Laguna [Beach], I had a lot of people say, ‘Talk about Spencer running for mayor.’ So you know what? Let’s talk about it,” Cavallari, 39, teased during the April 21 episode of her “Let’s Be Honest” podcast. “I think Spencer running for mayor is f***ing genius. Because I think everyone in politics — I don’t care what side you’re on — everyone is corrupt.”

Spencer’s sister and former The Hills costar, Stephanie Pratt, was not supportive of the campaign, urging Los Angeles voters not to elect “another unqualified and inexperienced mayor.”

“A vote for him is a vote for stupidity,” Stephanie, 40, tweeted on February 14. “He’s just trying to stay famous and sell his memoir don’t be fooled. In an ideal world the palisades would have their own mayor and police department. I would love [for] him to be mayor of [the] Palisades but not LA with 4 million people. I’d be impressed if a republican could turn LA democrats thb.”

She went on, “At least hire someone with work experience who wasn’t in a cult. I’m WORRIED about LA. I have no problem with Spencer playing government but our city needs help.”

Community actress Yvette Nicole Brown was another dissenting voice, complaining via Threads on Thursday, April 24, that Pratt’s fundraising success proved that “this nation is unserious and has learned nothing,” seemingly likening the Hills star’s campaign to reality star-turned-politician President Donald Trump.
