Jennifer Aniston‘s beauty routine may be famously low-maintenance, but it’s clearly effective. Her lips always look naturally smooth and hydrated, no matter the occasion. According to the actress, it all comes down to a moisturizing lip balm she refuses to skip.

In a “What’s Really in Her Beauty Bag” video with Harper’s Bazaar UK, the Friends star revealed she uses the Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Balm. She shared that a makeup artist introduced her to the Eight Hour Cream in the late ’90s, and she became “addicted to it.” These days, she takes the lip balm version with her “everywhere.”

Created with the brand’s iconic Eight Hour Cream base, the lip balm is formulated with shea butter, coconut oil and vitamin E. The nourishing ingredients hydrate all day, relieve chapping and soften lips. That level of hydration alone explains why it’s stayed in her beauty bag for decades.

Dax Shepard recently made an interesting revelation, shedding light on his views about plastic surgery. 

The actor revealed that while he is not against plastic surgery, he would prefer to remain as authentic as possible. 

This update comes shortly after Shepard addressed jaw implant rumors, making it clear that he has not gone under the knife for any enhancements. 

Dax Shepard Opens Up About Getting Plastic Surgery

During the March 16 episode of his podcast, “Armchair Expert,” Shepard opened up about his evolving relationship with his appearance.

The 51-year-old actor admitted to his guest, “Scrubs” star Zach Braff, that he frequently debates whether or not to get a facelift. 

While Shepard maintains that he has “zero judgment” for those who choose plastic surgery, he finds himself wanting to stay exactly as he is about 80 percent of the time.

He explained that there is a certain “weird value” in being one of the few people in the industry who chooses to look “weirdly authentic” as the years pass.

“I’m like, this is actually kind of cool. I’m going to be one of the few people that didn’t have a facelift, and I’m going to look weirdly authentic. I think that’s going to have some weird value,” he said, per PEOPLE Magazine. 

However, the actor confessed that the remaining 20 percent of the time, his vanity takes over. Given that he has the financial means, he sometimes questions why he wouldn’t simply go through with a procedure. 

Dax Shepard Previously Addressed Jaw Implant Rumors 

This is not the first time Shepard has spoken about getting cosmetic procedures. He has also had to address specific rumors regarding his changing facial structure. During a January episode of “Armchair Expert,” the 51-year-old actor admitted that watching his older projects like “Parenthood” with his children makes him realize how much his appearance has shifted. 

“I will acknowledge, I’ll be watching with my children, like ‘Parenthood,’ we watch with them. And I’m going, ‘Oh, my God, dude, I look so different,’” he said, per The Blast.

Shepard clarified that these physical changes are actually the result of natural weight gain rather than a surgical procedure. He explained to guest Kumail Nanjiani that a thicker neck can completely transform a person’s profile, a theory Nanjiani supported based on his own experiences with shifting body fat. 

Nanjiani also took the opportunity to dismiss similar plastic surgery rumors about himself, noting that while he has tried Botox, he has never undergone a jaw operation.

How Dax Shepard Almost Lost His Life In A Car Accident

While Shepard has faced years of public scrutiny regarding his appearance and rumors of jaw implants, those superficial concerns pale in comparison to a life-threatening ordeal from his youth. 

The podcast host revealed a terrifying car accident that occurred during his senior year of high school while traveling from Toledo to Detroit. Shepard was resting in the backseat of a Ford Probe while a friend drove at 85 miles per hour with cruise control engaged, per The Blast.

The situation turned dire when Shepard was jolted awake by the sound of gravel, only to discover his friend had fallen asleep behind the wheel.

Miraculously, the car missed the trees and eventually came to a stop upside down. Both Shepard and his friend were able to crawl out through the windows, escaping the wreckage, shaken but without any serious physical injuries.

The Actor Had A Brief Romantic Encounter With Jessica Alba

Weeks after Shepard opened up about his near-death encounter, he briefly reminisced about a brief but memorable fling with actress Jessica Alba that took place roughly twenty years ago. 

According to The Blast, the two former flames reunited on the set of the 2017 Netflix film “El Camino Christmas,” leading to a moment that deeply flattered Shepard. 

While sitting in the makeup trailer, the actor privately assumed that Alba would want to keep their past “make-out” sessions a secret from their colleagues. To his surprise, Alba openly shouted across the room to ask if he remembered when they used to date, showing no embarrassment about their history. 

Shepard joked that his low self-esteem had convinced him she would be ashamed, but her public acknowledgement made him feel validated and proud of their brief time together.

Inside Dax Shepard’s Marriage To Kristen Bell And Bond With Monica Padman

While the casual openness of his former flame, Alba, provided a boost to his self-esteem, Shepard’s most significant bond remains his unique family life with Kristen Bell. 

The couple is well-known for their transparency, but their relationship with podcast co-host Monica Padman has also piqued public interest. 

Padman’s journey with the pair began in 2011 when she moved to Los Angeles to pursue acting and started working as a babysitter for their daughters.

Over time, her role evolved from a nanny to a trusted assistant and speechwriter for Bell, eventually leading to her becoming a deeply integrated member of their household, per The Blast. 

Reflecting on the early years of their arrangement, Padman described the household environment as a relaxed and collaborative space where everyone pitched in.

The Disney Corporation has experienced a lot of upheaval so far this year. First, Bob Iger announced he was stepping aside. Then Josh D’Amaro taking his place was overshadowed by the huge promotion of Dana Walden from Head of Entertainment to Chief Creative Officer. Now, Disney is being sued by another top exec for racial discrimination.

The plaintiff is Jay Ong, Head of Disney Games Group. His job has been to oversee the production, marketing, and sales of games that fall under the Disney umbrella. This includes not only Disney IP, like the Toy Story games, but also Marvel and Star Wars games, such as Star Wars: Fate of the Old Republic, which was announced in December at the 2025 Game Awards. The Disney games are performing above expectations right now, but Ong has taken a huge pay cut in the form of bonuses and incentives.

Suspicious Pay Cuts Despite Stellar Performance

The trouble started in February 2025, when Vice President of HR Natalia Strauch told him in an evaluation meeting that he was a “poor cultural fit” for the company. He was also told he was getting a pay cut, losing roughly $40,000 in bonuses and $150,000 in incentives. His work was called “exceptional,” but he was told he was taking the cut anyway.

Meanwhile, he alleges in his suit, Strauch also contacted his executive coach behind his back, which is against company policy. He claims this contact led to the reductions in his bonus and incentives, and that Strauch was trying to “dig up dirt” on him.

The discrimination, Ong contests, is against Asian employees at Disney. He alleges that the meeting with Strauch, the contact with his executive coach, and the reduction in compensation were all intended to drive him out of the company by embarrassing him. His suit alleges “such treatment is part of a broader pattern at Disney whereby those of Asian descent – the few which Disney deigns to hire – are discriminated against.”

On this basis, Ong is suing Disney for $40 million.

Ong’s History With House Of Mouse

While Ong is certainly not poor, the fact is that he has overseen the release of several successful Disney games during his tenure. Before managing the entire Disney library of video games, he was head of Marvel games for a decade. Since even HR admitted that his performance in his position was “exceptional,” the House of Mouse is going to find themselves in serious trouble if it turns out they’re actually discriminating against Ong and other Asian executives. It is clear the company’s treatment of Ong was unfair, given that the video game department is the only segment of Disney that hasn’t suffered under its recent leadership struggles.

At this time, Ong still lists Disney as his current employer. However, Disney has seen a lot of its executives depart recently, and a discrimination suit might lead to the departure of yet another. This time, though, it’s someone who was actually succeeding at his job, leading to a net loss for the Magic Kingdom.

Taylor Frankie Paul has officially broken her silence following the domestic violence allegations against her just days before she is set to make her debut as the new “Bachelorette.”

“The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” star commented about the incident involving her and ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen, who are parents to son Ever.

Taylor Frankie Paul Breaks Silence Following Domestic Violence Allegations

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE during a press preview of “The Bachelorette” in New York City on Tuesday, March 17, Paul addressed the domestic violence allegations against her for the first time.

“Honestly, just like, my heart hurts to see it, to go through it, especially at this time,” Paul told the outlet. “Just the timing is hard, and it’s a big deal. I feel like every premiere that I’ve experienced, I’ve never enjoyed fully, so this is another one… it’s extremely hard, and it took everything to get me here today.”

“It’s just heavy. It’s a heavy time, and it’s unfortunate,” she continued before sharing that she is currently “struggling” as the details and fallout of the incident continue to unfold. 

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

Paul Shared That ‘The Bachelorette’ Experience Was ‘Best Thing’ She Could Have Done

The reality star also told PEOPLE that the decision to accept the offer to be “The Bachelorette” was an easy one, as heading to Los Angeles to film for months allowed her to get “out of my toxicity of a life in Utah and bubble.”

“It was like the best thing I could have done,” Paul added, noting that the show’s contestants were “different” than the men back in her Utah hometown. 

“There was a lot of reassurance in who I am, you know, from all these men being just kind and gentle and gentlemen,” she said of the men. “It kind of brought out my true side of who I am and honestly belief in me, value, worth… they made me feel reassured in that and reminded me of that. It was a journey of also that too.”

‘Bachelorette’ Cast Says Taylor Frankie Paul Was ‘Softer’ And ‘Pleasant To Be Around’ While Filming

Several members of the season 22 cast of “The Bachelorette” recently spoke with TMZ and sang Taylor Frankie Paul’s praises, notably pointing out how different she was on the show in stark contrast to what “Mormon Wives” fans see and the current domestic violence allegations against her.

The contestants told the outlet that while filming Paul was “kind, genuine, and well-intentioned,” and displayed “a softer, more authentic side.” They also added that overall she was “consistently pleasant to be around.”

Regarding the recent domestic violence allegations, they said that while the claims are “troubling,” they believe there are many misconceptions about Paul and want the public to refrain from rushing to judge, and that the full truth of what happened during the incident will be revealed in time. 

‘The Bachelorette’ Still On Track To Air New Season Despite DV Allegations Fallout

According to TMZ, as of now, ABC has decided that the premiere of “The Bachelorette,” starring Paul will still air as planned, despite recent allegations of domestic violence against her.

Per the outlet, Paul is currently in New York City on a press run to promote the show, which is still slated to air the full season in its entirety. She is also still set to appear at the Los Angeles premiere for the show.

Additionally, TMZ also shared details about “The Bachelorette” team being laser-focused on casting Paul for the show despite her drama-filled past and prior domestic violence arrest.

An inside source close to the show, told the outlet that “Bachelorette” producers wanted Paul badly for the show because they felt that due to the massive success of “Mormon Wives” and her immense social media following she could increase the show’s lagging ratings.

However, since they wanted her at all cost, the source said they admittedly “cut corners” during the vetting process. 

ABC has since hired a public relations crisis manager amid the news of Paul’s alleged domestic violence incident involving ex-boyfriend Dakota Mortensen.

Taylor Frankie Paul And Dakota Mortensen Ordered For Psych Evaluation, ‘Mormon Wives’ Production Halted

Per TMZ, Mortensen has made calls to the Utah Division of Child and Family Services multiple times alleging Paul has been physically abusive to their son, which Paul firmly denies. 

According to the outlet, in late February, the former couple got into a verbal altercation while inside Mortensen’s car after Paul reportedly spilled a drink. Inside sources shared that Mortensen became “enraged” and “got physical” with Paul, however, he called the police and told them that she was the one who assaulted him. 

Following the incident, a source close to Paul told TMZ that Mortensen disappeared for weeks and ditched filming, which led to production being put on pause. However, sources with “Mormon Wives” said that filming stopped because cast members refused to film amid the domestic violence and child abuse allegations, despite production wanting to continue filming season 5.

Additionally, due to Mortensen repeatedly calling DCFS on Paul, alleging abuse, both are now required to undergo psychological evaluations. 

When production on “Mormon Wives” resumes, it has not been decided what capacity, if any, Mortensen will be part of the show.

According to PEOPLE,  the Draper City Police Department confirmed to the outlet that an open “domestic assault investigation” exists between Paul and Mortensen. Per the police department’s spokesperson, “allegations have been made in both directions” and “contact was made with involved parties on [Feb] 24th and 25th.” 

An inside source connected to “Mormon Wives” confirmed the production pause. “They are not filming,” the source said. “Taylor [Frankie Paul] has some pretty serious stuff happening regarding her past, and they will see what happens. Until that resolves, they are off.”

Things are reportedly so serious that Paul’s fellow MomTok members have all distanced themselves from her. “None of the women want to be associated with her,” the source told the outlet.

Jerry O’Connell has shared candid details about his life, as he recently recalled a tense moment with his wife, Rebecca Romijn, and their daughters.

According to the actor, the women got “physical” with him due to his opinion about the outcome of the election and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

Jerry O’Connell also hinted that he walks on eggshells around his wife and kids, claiming they would get angry at him if he made any kind of joke.

Jerry O’Connell Alleges Wife, Daughters Got ‘Physical’ With Him Over His Election Comments

O’Connell opened up about his home life with wife Rebecca Romijn and their twin daughters in a revealing chat on Bill Maher’s “Club Random” podcast on Monday, March 16.

The “Stand By Me” actor, 52, first shared a tense moment involving his family after he made comments about Kamala Harris losing the 2024 presidential election to Donald Trump.

“I said something along the lines of, ‘There was no planning. This is what they get. There should have been a primary,’” O’Connell recalled. “I was just spit-balling ideas.”

The reaction, however, caught him off guard. “It was shocking,” he noted. “My wife and daughters, without saying anything, became physical with me. They were filled with rage.”

The Actor Can’t Make ‘Any Kind Of Joke’ Around His Wife And Kids: ‘I Live In California’

O’Connell admitted that, despite his comments, he never expected Harris to lose and acknowledged the need to be cautious about his words at home.

“I live in California,” he said. “I live with not one, not two, but three people who, if I made any kind of joke, they’d become very angry with me.”

O’Connell and Romijn, 53, have been married since 2007 and are parents to 17-year-old twins, Dolly and Charlie.

While it’s unclear how serious O’Connell was about his wife and kids’ reactions to his jokes, the actor once revealed that he avoids getting into fights with Romijn, telling the Daily Mail that, “If there’s an argument brewing, I try not to engage.”

“I try to distance myself,” he added, noting that he would even go as far as leaving the house whenever things get tense.

Jerry O’Connell Jokes That Rebecca Romijn Only Gets Intimate With Him When She’s High

In another part of the episode, O’Connell asked Maher, 70, known for smoking marijuana during recordings, to “get higher than you’ve ever been on any episode” and blow smoke in his face.

Maher agreed, saying he’d be “happy” to, and asked whether O’Connell smoked himself. “I don’t smoke myself, but listen, I live with someone who smokes — vapes, actually,” he replied, referring to Romijn.

Joking about the intimate side of their relationship, O’Connell added, “The only time my wife finds me appealing, is intimate with me … the only time my wife — what’s the word? — touches me is if my wife takes a hit off that pen.”

Maher then asked if O’Connell was a “health nut,” prompting the actor to admit he often indulges in processed snacks and takeout. “I’m getting this picture: A guy doesn’t get laid unless his wife is high, he’s always on Instagram, eating sh-tty food,” Maher teased.

O’Connell laughed and replied, “Well, my wife gets high every day, so don’t worry about me!”

The Actor And His Wife Speak About Their ‘Community Pot’ Approach To Family Finances

O’Connell and Romijn have also been open about how they manage their finances.

During a July 2025 appearance on Andy Cohen’s SiriusXM show, they revealed that while they keep their personal spending separate, they contribute to a shared “community pot” for joint expenses.

“That’s like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together,” Romijn explained.

How much each of them contributes, however, isn’t fixed. It shifts depending on who’s earning more at the time.

“I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes,” O’Connell said, while Romijn added, “Depending on who’s working more. The one who isn’t working gets a little break, and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work.”

Jerry O’Connell Reveals Hypnosis Helped Him Quit Smoking After Decades Of Nicotine Use

O’Connell has also recently opened up about another deeply personal chapter during the February 13 episode of the “Work In Progress” podcast with Sophia Bush, where he reflected on his decade-long battle with nicotine and how he finally quit.

“I struggled with nicotine for decades… I had to get hypnotized,” O’Connell shared, noting that he hasn’t smoked in about 14 years.

The turning point, he revealed, came from an ultimatum at home. According to the actor, his wife made it clear she wouldn’t be physically affectionate with him if he continued smoking, and she followed through. What he initially brushed off as a joke quickly became reality.

“After about three and a half weeks, I was like, I gotta do something,” he recalled.

Although he tried quitting on his own, he admitted it didn’t stick until he explored hypnosis after a recommendation from a friend, which, despite having doubts, actually helped him stop smoking.

TikTok creator Jools Lebron, who rose to viral fame with the “very demure, very mindful” trend, is opening up about the unexpected toll that sudden internet stardom took on her life. What began as something lighthearted and fun quickly turned into overwhelming attention, pressure, and a dramatic lifestyle shift. 

In a series of TikTok videos, Jools shares a candid reflection about navigating instant fame and how it led her down a difficult path that included struggles with substance abuse. She’s speaking out with honesty and shedding light on the darker side of internet fame while emphasizing growth, accountability, and moving forward transparently. 

Jools Lebron Is Opening Up About The After Effects Of Viral Fame

Jools, who quickly rose to viral internet fame a little over a year ago and has more than 2.3 million followers on TikTok, is sharing the hidden side to sudden fame in a series of videos on the app.

In one video, she shares that she “got ate up and spit out by the influencer Hollywood system.”

“I went mega viral a year and a half ago, and it unfortunately was the best time of my life and the worst time of my life,” she candidly shared. “And I’m opening up about it and I’m calling it ‘Jools’ Journey’ because I’m on a track of getting my life back together after the entertainment industry led me to substance abuse and alcoholism and having my life fall apart.”

She followed that by saying she felt “chewed up and spit out by Hollywood.” She attributed it to the same thing people can sometimes go through after winning the lottery, or someone who has a “one in a million” kind of moment.

‘It’s A Roller Coaster’

The video, posted just one day ago and has nearly 250k views and tons of supportive comments, continued with Jools’ honest storytime.

“Yesterday, I came to social media for the first time to share what’s been going on because I need support and I need help and I just can’t do this by myself,” she continued. “And I see the comments and they’re like changing my life right now, if I’m gonna be honest with you.”

She said that she spent much of the prior day cleaning and struggling to try to “figure out what to do cause it’s not like my first day sober but it’s my first time I’m willing to be open about it.”

“I don’t know what to do. What am I supposed to do?” she asked. “A lot of the comments are really redirecting me.”

She explained that she fell into “peer pressure” and that it led to other things such as “shopping addiction.”

Viewers Shared Supportive Words For The Viral TikToker

Many viewers hopped into the comment section to share words of encouragement and their own similar stories.

“‘Less struggling w being sober and more struggling with what to do’ I FELT THIS,” one person wrote. Another added, “Jools, you and your vulnerability *are* ‘The Brand.’ We watch bc we love YOU! No matter what your journey, you’ve got this!”

And there were many other comments with the same theme.

“Being accountable, very demure, very cutesy,” one viewer shared. Another said, “Thank you for your vulnerability! Love you, Jools!”

Jools Lebron Shared She’s ‘On The Path To Further Success’

In a follow up TikTok video, Jools shared an update using her viral trend.

“You see how I fixed my life? Very demure, very mindful,” she shared. “You see how I come to the internet to start my ‘Jools’ Journey’? Very cutesy.”

She gave a bit of an update for anyone who missed the original confession video that started the “Jools’ Journey” series. She shared some of the ways she’s “fixing” her life and inviting her fans to be part of the journey through her videos. It appears, based on comments, that she’s inspiring others to also make necessary life changes.

“‘I will not accept a life I do not deserve’ is a new mantra for the people!” one viewer wrote in the comments. Another said, “Not Jools inspiring me to take out my stepper and work out so we can get it together.”

‘Thank You For All Your Support On This Journey’

In another follow up video, Jools gets visibly emotional as she thanks her followers for all the support they’ve been giving her.

“Thank you guys for your support,” she said through tears. “I don’t know why I felt like I was gonna come to the internet with this and it was gonna make me lose everything. I don’t know why I was like the internet is tired of me. But thank you for your support.”

She said it was “confusing” on whether or not she should open up this way about her struggles.

“We’ll never be tired seeing someone find themselves again,” one viewer wrote in the comments. Another said, “Oh how can we not love our girl, life is not linear, we should never judge someone on their lows but just support them to get back up again. You got this.”

Bold and the Beautiful excites as two characters are about to hit the sheets as the newest bed buddies on the CBS soap and we’re going to talk about who it is that’s getting frisky by the end of the month. There’s only a few possibilities based on the existing characters on the screen. We’re going to discuss three possible couples who are about to get frisky soon.

Hot New Love Scene Coming Up on Young and the Restless

So, recently an official Bold and the Beautiful spoiler said two people make love for the first time. And it happens in March and we’re getting towards the end of the month. So, right now, we’ve got things twisting around and shaking couples up. And we’re watching some new pairings in their fledgling stages. There’s really only three possible pairings for people that might get into bed based on who’s on screen. And so, I have ranked these from the least likely to hook up to the most likely.

Possibility #1: Electra and RJ Forrester (Least Likely)

And the first to talk about is Electra Forrester (Laneya Grace) and RJ Forrester (Joshua Hoffman). And as you know, Electra has only ever been intimate with Will Spencer (Crew Morrow). She lost her V-card to him not too long ago and it was a really big deal for her, especially once that whole lie about the mystery girl who turned out to be Luna Nozawa (Lisa Yamada) sleeping with him came out. So after all that, I just don’t think Electra would jump right into intimacy with somebody else right after breaking up with Will.

But they are absolutely a possibility for this spoiler. Because Electra is newly single and RJ is completely smitten with her. He has been thinking about when he kissed Electra and we know RJ wants a chance to do it again. At the moment, Electra is all worked up about Will and Melissa Dylan (Sydney Bullock) and we know Electra feels completely betrayed. So, she’s in a very vulnerable place and RJ might be able to play on that vulnerability and that means there is a chance she could get caught up with RJ and things turn steamy.

Bold and the Beautiful: Ivy’s Pushing Electra into RJ’s Arms

I do think it’s a very, very small chance that Electra ends up in bed with RJ in the next couple of weeks. I do think he is genuinely into Electra. But I also think he respects her and that RJ wants something real with Electra. And I don’t think RJ wants to take advantage of her. But that being said, if they hook up, I think that he would be sure to rub it in Will’s face that he’s been with Electra.

I could see RJ saying he’s going to be the one to treat Electra the right way, which Will didn’t do. And Electra also may be more open to getting with RJ. Because Ivy Forrester (Ashleigh Brewer) is pushing for this to happen. She hates Will and wants Electra to give RJ a chance. Ivy thinks RJ is much better than Will.

And Electra really values her aunt Ivy’s opinion and trusts her which she should not. Because Electra has no idea how much Ivy manipulated her and intentionally destroyed her relationship with Will.

Despite Ivy’s scheming and RJ’s genuine interest in Electra, I feel like of the three possible pairings that RJ getting with Electra is the least likely. But we still have to acknowledge that it may happen. I would be absolutely shocked if it went that way, though.

Possibility #2: Dylan and Will (More Likely)

So, the second possibility of new bed buddies is Dylan and Will. Now, it’s no secret that Dylan is wildly attracted to Will. She has been pretty much from the start. But she was trying to keep it in check while she and Electra were best friends. And Dylan already admitted to Deke Sharpe (Harrison Cone) that she is falling for Will and isn’t going to leave his house anytime soon if he’s willing to let her stay. So that has her in close proximity to him. So that could help this.

Also, Dylan overhears Daphne Rose (Murielle Hilaire) and Ivy talking this week and Dylan’s going to be shocked by what she hears. We know this week Daphne is telling off Ivy and saying that Electra and Will love each other. And Daphne is really bothered by what Ivy did that absolutely broke Electra’s heart. But Ivy dismisses Daphne’s concerns and says kids date, they break up, things happen.

Bold and the Beautiful: Dylan Learns the Truth

So, Dylan may also overhear depending on how many details Dylan gives about Ivy stealing Electra’s letter and replacing it with Will’s broken necklace which made Electra think Will chose Dylan over her and was breaking up with Electra. But even if Dylan doesn’t hear all of the details, she may figure out Ivy manipulated their breakup. So, Dylan may realize there’s a ticking clock.

And if Will finds out what Ivy did, there’s a chance Will and Electra could reconcile. Bottom line is Dylan seems to be a decent person. And if Electra hadn’t been bullying her, which has gone on for quite a while now, more so than just recently. And if they were still on good terms, I think Dylan would tell Electra what Ivy did. But instead, I think Dylan may use this time and this advantage to get more seductive with Will to try and keep him.

And because he’s really upset about Electra and RJ kissing and then Electra lying to his face about the kiss while Will told the truth about his kiss with Dylan. He’s feeling really betrayed. So, I could see Will being vulnerable and if Dylan makes a move, it may pay off for her and it helps that they’re under the same roof. So, I do think there is a chance Will goes there with Dylan. I feel like these two hooking up is way more plausible than RJ getting Electra into bed.

Possibility #3: Taylor and Deacon (Most Likely)

But the most likely couple for this spoiler about a new couple getting in the sheets in March has got to go to Dr. Taylor Hayes (Rebecca Budig) and her ex-patient Deacon Sharpe (Sean Kanan).

Now, we know Taylor and Deacon are in love. They fell hard. But Steffy Forrester (Jacqueline MacInnes Wood) is acting like she’s Taylor’s mom and forbade them to be together, which of course just made them forbidden fruit, which is very tasty, right? And of course, Steffy is rightly worried about Taylor being targeted by psycho Sheila Carter (Kimberlin Brown) if she gets in deeper with Deacon.

Bold and the Beautiful: Taylor & Deacon Can’t Stay Away

Steffy’s ultimatum, I think, is the primary obstacle to Taylor hooking up with Deacon, even more so than the Sheila issue. But I can see Taylor and Deacon ending up alone together, maybe in Taylor’s office. That seems a plausible place for them to hook up and then Deacon and Taylor kiss and then they lose control and they get frisky. Because they can’t help themselves no matter what Steffy is threatening.

Or it could be that Taylor drops in at Bikini Bar. Because she knows Deacon is expanding there and might catch him alone there and nobody would be looking for them at Bikini Bar because if you remember, he only told Taylor about it. He didn’t mention it to Sheila.

Bold and the Beautiful Hints at Bikini Bar Lovin for Taylor & Deacon

And I feel like them saying that wasn’t for nothing. I think there was a reason behind it. And if memory serves me, there is a bedroom upstairs at Bikini Bar. Because I think it was like 2019. It’s been some years. But Ridge Forrester (Thorsten Kaye) got drunk at Bikini Bar after a fight with Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang).

And Ridge was so wasted that he couldn’t drive. And then Shauna Fulton was there and she joined him in the bed and Ridge was stunned when they woke up together. I don’t think they did the deed. I think because he passed out. She just slept beside him. But we do know there’s a bedroom there.

Bottom line. I suspect Taylor and Deacon have some kind of combustible moment and make love and it’s amazing and then Taylor may freak and say it can’t happen again. We know that Sheila finds out about them. That’s according to official B&B spoilers and that means there is more to come for Taylor and Deacon.

For these reasons, I suspect the hitting the sheets for the first time spoiler is about Taylor and Deacon rather than one of the younger couples. But we’ll see how it goes.

If you want to find great movies released as recently as the 2010s, or even the current decade, the 2020s, you’re in luck. Contrary to what some might say (and you know what some might say), cinema has been alive and well within the last couple of decades, and just like any other decade in history, the last quarter of a century has seen its share of both winners and critical misfires.

It’s the misfires that are going to be acknowledged below, because these movies – most of them fairly well-known and/or notorious – can be considered some of the worst made in the last 25 years. They’re generally not fun in a bad way, either, so if you’re wondering why The Room isn’t here, it’s because The Room is just too much fun. These movies, on the other hand, are probably best avoided by anyone who’s not particularly into watching bad films as often as good ones.

‘Yoga Hosers’ (2016)

It can be hard to see the mighty fall, and Kevin Smith, for a short while, was once pretty mighty as far as boldly independent filmmakers went. He rose to fame with Clerks, which was a movie mostly just about surviving a job you hate, which found comedy in very relatable things and a mundane convenience store setting. Yoga Hosers, admittedly, also takes place predominantly in a convenience store, but it brazenly makes a decision to not be like Clerks when it comes to being funny.

Sure, it’s going for more of a comedic horror thing, with some fantasy elements that involve villainous bratwurst Nazis (don’t ask, it’s stupider than it sounds, somehow), but none of it works. Yoga Hosers rambles on and on, seemingly never ending, even though information online will tell you it’s allegedly less than 90 minutes long, don’t believe it — the misery of Yoga Hosers is eternal.

‘Sniper: Special Ops’ (2016)

Sniper: Special Ops is one of the least compelling war movies ever made, and features one of the least committed lead performances in cinema history, courtesy of Steven Seagal. He plays a purportedly badass expert sniper, and though he does shoot some people throughout, Seagal does nothing to suggest his character cares, and it’s sort of funny how he really does spend almost the entire film sitting down.

And, yes, snipers do stay stationary, but Sniper: Special Ops sticks to this in a bad way, leading to a whole movie that feels static and uninspired. It’s a little absurd at times, owing to just how barebones and brazenly lazy it is, but bafflement isn’t the same as entertainment… unless you are morbidly curious and do want to see a particularly poorly handled action/war flick.

‘Birdemic: Shock and Terror’ (2010)

In 1963, Alfred Hitchcock did a surprisingly great job at making mundane birds come across in a surprisingly terrifying way on screen. Sure, it’s one thing to have a giant shark be intimidating, or bring dinosaurs to life and have them terrorize humans (Jaws and Jurassic Park, respectively), but The Birds doing the same for ordinarily-sized birds was uniquely harrowing.

Close to half a century later, there was another attempt at a scary bird movie that failed across the board: the infamous Birdemic: Shock and Terror from 2010. It’s not quite as fun as The Room, but it’s built up the same sort of reputation, doing for “nature attacks” horror movies what Tommy Wiseau’s magnum opus did for romantic melodramas. Terrible special effects, baffling dialogue, and acting so wooden it makes the Ents from The Lord of the Rings look fleshy in comparison await anyone brave enough to experience the Shock and Terror of Birdemic.

‘Battlefield Earth’ (2000)

The acting career John Travolta’s had since the 1970s has undeniably been up and down, but nothing put a dent in the comeback he had during the 1990s quite like Battlefield Earth. It was not a good way to kick off the new millennium for anyone involved, with its story taking place another 1000 years in the future and involving an alien race enslaving humanity.

Then, humanity fights back, blah, blah, blah, and things get ridiculous, ugly, over-acted, poorly paced, and sometimes, admittedly, quite laughable. There are flashes of genuine hilarity found throughout Battlefield Earth, but other sequences within are more of a slog. It has the sort of notoriety it has for good reason, and if someone wanted to label it a nadir of the overall science fiction genre, that might be strangely difficult to dispute.

‘Saving Christmas’ (2014)

The problem with Saving Christmas isn’t that it’s simply about faith, but rather that it’s a mess, it is because it’s not an effective exploration of faith and how it relates to the titular time of the year. It is a somewhat passionate film that wants to present an argument about the true meaning of Christmas, but it’s hard to imagine any naysayers of the most wonderful time of the year being persuaded by anything contained within.

Kirk Cameron pretty much plays himself, and the movie revolves around him trying to convince a brother-in-law not to be such a sad sack around Christmastime. Through this basic premise, Saving Christmas goes to some absolutely wild places, at least in its “better” moments. Otherwise, it’s very preachy and kind of repetitive, too, but those parts can be bewildering in a sort of engaging way, too.

‘Disaster Movie’ (2008)

Disaster Movie is the worst kind of bad movie because it’s not particularly fun to talk about (or watch). Certain movies that don’t quite work are at least fun to dig into, either by making jokes at their expense or trying to get to the heart of just why they don’t work. Sometimes, it’s possible to get a thrill out of doing a bit of both. There’s no such thrill to discussing Disaster Movie.

This is the laziest of lazy parody movies, ripping into cinema and pop culture predominantly from 2008… and infamously doing so in 2008, meaning there wasn’t much to work with parody-wise beyond some recognizable characters and the marketing they might’ve appeared in when Disaster Movie was made. Parody movies are great when done right, but there’s very little parody in this parody movie. It simply shows things you might vaguely know, and then it hopes that’ll be enough. It’s not.

‘Verotika’ (2019)

The worst anthology movie of the last 25 years will be mentioned in a bit, but the second-worst from that same period is probably Verotika. As the title suggests/threatens, Verotika is purportedly erotica combined with horror, but none of it is sexy, and none of it is scary. Even calling it sleazy somehow feels like giving Verotika credit, and sleaze isn’t even something you’d usually want in a movie!

It’s just a nothing movie, telling three main stories with all of them taking common horror tropes and conventions before mutating them in thoroughly dull and tedious ways. There’s nothing fresh here, nothing technically impressive, and nothing that even comes close to being scary. Verotika doesn’t even have the courtesy to be bad in a funny way, so just avoid it at all costs.

‘Cats’ (2019)

After one infamously mortifying trailer, Cats, upon release, ended up being one infamously mortifying movie. With a paper-thin premise and nightmarish visuals, this movie is about a bunch of cats who all want to die, and they sing some songs because they’re all competing to be the one who gets to die. Well, maybe. They want to ascend to some kind of cat afterlife. But they actually want to die.

Viewers of Cats might well also find themselves wishing to ascend to a higher plane of existence while trying to survive this one. It’s a movie that feels longer than it is, being a true endurance test packed with annoying musical numbers, horrific animation mixed with live-action, and one of the most repetitive stories you’ll ever witness. Seriously, one of the most repetitive stories you’ll ever witness. The story here is so repetitive. It’s a movie that repeats itself. Cats is very repetitive.

2

‘Movie 43’ (2013)

Rivaling something like 1992’s The Player when it comes to having an astounding number of A-list actors in one movie, Movie 43 has too many famous people to count. Thankfully, there aren’t 42 more of these, and if there were, by no means would they be worth watching to properly understand Movie 43, because this is one of the last movies you should ever watch.

It’s even worse than Verotika, as far as anthology films go, stringing together numerous unfunny skits that are all packed with cheap, crude humor, but not cheap/crude humor that manages to be in any way amusing. Movie 43 is painful to get through, and the story of how it came to be proves far more interesting than the film itself (not to mention a lot stranger and more eventful).

‘2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus’ (2021)

There’s something neat and numerically satisfying about giving 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus the title of worst movie released between 1999 and 2024, given it’s set in 2025. It imagines a strange dystopia brought about by COVID-19… well, less so the virus itself, and more the ways that the powerful in the world used it to oppress and restrict, with communism being rampant and Christianity being illegal.

It was the sort of thing that had aged and felt preposterous even before it came out, and now that 2025 is right around the corner, the fearmongering here is even funnier. Also funny: the way this film is put together, the way it’s acted, the way it’s written, the way it uses music, and the fact it ends with a tragic event – like, in its final moments – that’s immediately undercut by the inclusion of bloopers in the end credits. 2025: The World Enslaved by a Virus is impossible to comprehend, even if you’ve successfully gotten through it. This kind of bafflement and cinematic ineptitude only comes around once every quarter of a century, if you’re (un)lucky.
