Which Virgin River Stars Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 7?
Between a cast exit, love triangle complications and several open-ended story lines, Virgin River has a lot of questions that need answering in season 7 — but is every cast member returning for more episodes?
Virgin River, which premiered in 2019, is based on Robyn Carr’s book series and follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and her love interest, Jack (Martin Henderson). The series also stars Colin Lawrence, Annette O’Toole, Tim Matheson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé and Kai Bradbury.
After many ups and downs — including a miscarriage in season 5 — Jack and Mel finally ended season 6 as husband and wife. Despite their past obstacles, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith exclusively told Us Weekly why fans shouldn’t be worried about the fan-favorite couple’s next chapter.
“We will continue to see Mel and Jack move down their path towards parenthood,” Smith explained to Us in December 2024. “We get to live in the newlywed bliss that they have and the challenges that come with that as a new married couple.”
Mel and Jack finally made it to the altar on Virgin River ahead of season 7 — but what comes next? Virgin River, which premiered in 2019, follows the lives of residents living in a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and her love interest, Jack (Martin Henderson). The series also stars […]
He added: “I think that with the pace at which we’re moving comfortably gives us a lot of opportunity to just keep telling more and more stories for as many seasons to come as possible.”
Elsewhere in the finale, exes Brie (Allen) and Brady (Hollingsworth) slept together. They didn’t get their happily ever after — yet — because after Brie told her boyfriend, Mike (Grazzini), about her affair with Brady, he chose to propose to her.
Keep scrolling to see which Virgin River characters are coming back for season 7 — and which aren’t — when the show returns March 12, 2026:
Alexandra Breckenridge
Ahead of season 7, Breckenridge teased where she wants to see Mel’s story go — especially with her newly-discovered father.
“I’m very curious to see where that goes,” she shared with Us in December 2024. “I love how Mel tries to open up her relationship with her father, and he keeps trying to push her away because I think he doesn’t want to experience the loss again. You know, a lot of times people who lose people, they’re scared to love anyone again, because they’re scared, they’re gonna go through that pain. But you can’t live without it, you know? It’s not a life if you don’t love again.”
Martin Henderson
“Jack’s still kind of holding out for this family that he wants and is quite anxious and eager to know where that is gonna lead,” Henderson exclusively told Us about possible season 7 story lines, to which Breckenridge added, “She’s just, like, in full shock. I mean, she just got married. This is literally the morning after she wakes up, and she’s in shock. And then there’s, like, that hope that sort of starts to creep in. We’ll see.”
Colin Lawrence
Lawrence is expected to reprise his role as Preacher to see where his story with Kaia (McClure) will go.
Jenny Cooper
As the show continues to dig into Mel’s family, her older sister will play an important role.
Lauren Hammersley
Questions arose about Charmaine after her home was found ransacked in the season 6 finale. Hammersley proved that she didn’t have any answers about what’s to come after sharing a text exchange with the Virgin River showrunner.
“Am I dead?” she wrote in the screen grabs shared via Instagram in February 2025. “It’s OK if I’m dead I just need to know if I should start putting resumes out at Wendy’s or something.”
Hammersley suggested a creative way for her character to go out, adding, “So … IF Charmaine dies this year, could you please drown her in the river? I think that would be EPIC.”
Annette O’Toole
Season 7 will explore Hope’s relationship with Doc (Matheson) further.
Tim Matheson
Speaking of Doc, his medical practice was put in jeopardy in season 6, so many of Us want to see how that will play out.
Ben Hollingsworth
Brady’s future with Brie is up in the air despite them finally hooking up.
“I’m a practical person. I see and love all the story potential in their chemistry, and in what Zibby and Ben bring every time they get in front of the camera,” Smith told Us. “I remember at the table read, our network exec who I love, she texted me or emailed me after and she was like, ‘Oh my God, that scene!’ It was special.”
Grayson Gurnsey
With Gurnsey going from recurring to guest status, it isn’t clear in what capacity Ricky is returning to the show.
Sarah Dugdale
Lizzie is expected to return in season 7.
Zibby Allen
According to Smith, Brie’s love triangle with Brady and Mike will continue to be explored in season 7.
“A good love triangle is only as strong as the options you’re presenting, and also looking at the influence that [Brie’s] choice would have on her life,” Smith teased. “So imagining what her future could look like with Brady compared to what it could look like with Mike. And I think that’s where it works really well.”
Marco Grazzini
Mike’s unclear future with Brie amid her romance with Brady keeps him in the loop for season 7.
Mark Ghanimé
After the sixth season premiered in December 2024, showrunner Smith was asked about Ghanimé’s future on the show as Cameron, to which he exclusively told Us, “I love that relationship, and, I think this season saw a little bit of a sendoff for Cameron. In terms of Mark, the actor who I adore, he unfortunately won’t be coming back for season 7.”
Smith didn’t rule out a potential return in the future. “But that’s not to say that Cameron’s not a part of our world forever,” he added. “I would love to bring him back, and bring his character back when the story presents itself.”
Kai Bradbury
Doc’s grandson Denny will likely appear in Virgin River.
Kandyse McClure
The same goes for Kaia as McClure returns in season 7.

Former One Direction member Zayn Malik looked back on his years-long relationship with model Gigi Hadid, offering insight into how he viewed their romance.
Despite no longer being a couple, they are successfully co-parenting their daughter, who remains their number one priority.

Zayn Malik Reflects On Relationship With Gigi Hadid
On February 11, Malik was a guest on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, where he talked about past relationships, dating, and being a father. While talking to host Alex Cooper, the 33-year-old singer said that he will always have love for Hadid.
“I will always love Gigi, because she’s the reason my child is on this Earth, and I have the utmost respect for her,” Malik said.
He also shared his realizations about their relationship, saying that while he loves her “a crazy amount,” he was never “in love” with her when they were together. “I don’t think I was in love with her at that point. Otherwise, I would have been a better version of myself,” he explained.

The “Pillowtalk” singer said that his understanding of love was always evolving, and during his time with Hadid, what he thought was love may have been lust. Looking back, he said, “I don’t feel like it was love.”

Inside Zayn Malik And Gigi Hadid’s Relationship
Malik and Hadid first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted together in November 2015. They announced their relationship a month later by posting a photo on social media.
In 2016, Hadid starred in Malik’s “Pillowtalk” music video, a sensual piece that has the couple sharing passionate moments interspersed with kaleidoscopic visuals.
In the next couple of years, the couple attended public events together, shared milestones on social media, and even graced the cover of Vogue magazine.
Between 2018 and 2019, the couple split and reunited a few times, and for a few months, Hadid was rumored to be dating Tyler Cameron from “The Bachelorette,” as reported by People.
Malik and Hadid rekindled their relationship in 2020, and they announced they were expecting a child that same year.

Why Did The Couple Break Up?
Hadid gave birth to their daughter, Khai, in September 2020. In October 2021, several news outlets reported that the couple had, once again, split.
According to TMZ, Hadid’s mother, Yolanda, alleged that Malik “struck” her and pushed her into a dresser, which the singer denied doing. Meanwhile, Hadid was reportedly in Paris during the incident.
Malik was charged with four counts of harassment as a result. Despite his denial, he pleaded no contest, a plea where the defendant does not admit guilt, but waives the right to a trial.

At that time, Malik said that he wanted to keep things private and safe for his daughter. “In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not conest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago,” he explained.
Zayn Malik Has A Different Approach To Parenting Than Gigi Hadid
In the same podcast interview, Malik shared a glimpse of his co-parenting relationship with his ex, saying that although they have different parenting styles, they get along pretty well.
Malik recalled the time Khai lost her tooth, and when he gave her $700 from the tooth fairy, Hadid gave him “sh-t” for the extravagant amount. He said next time he would only give his daughter $5, but added “At the end of the day I work my a-s off and I should be able to give my kid what I want to give her.”
When it comes to raising his daughter, he said, “Her dad is a pop star, her mom is a model, and certain things that she does in life might not always reflect what other people’s understanding of reality is.”

Gigi Hadid Shares Her Co-Parenting Relationship With Zayn Malik
Years after their split, Malik and Hadid have moved on with their lives but remain focused on their co-parenting.
In an interview with Vogue in 2025, Hadid says that she and her ex work on their custody schedules “months in advance” and they always “have each other’s backs.”
As for the reason for their split, Hadid says that they don’t need to let the public know the specifics of their story. “What we are interested in is raising our daughter together. With so much respect for each other, and not just as co-parents, but what we’ve been through together,” she explained.

IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson
Michelle Obama is dishing out relationship advice … and she says couples need to slow play a lot of things … like moving in together.
The former First Lady shared her opinion on couples who move in early on her podcast with her brother, Craig Robinson, “IMO,” saying it’s better to wait to make sure they’re a good fit.
Michelle says love takes time and people need to figure out for sure who the other person is before taking a big step like moving under the same roof … and it sounds like she thinks love at first sight is a rare occurrence.
There’s no specific timeline from Michelle here … but it’s worth noting she got engaged to Barack Obama two years after their first date — he asked her out multiple times before she said yes — and then a year after their engagement, they got hitched … she talked a little more about her family last month with Alex Cooper.
Bottom line from Michelle … only fools rush in!!!

Resident Alien, starring Alan Tudyk, is a Syfy original comedy that was released in 2021 and didn’t make much of a splash on release. However, with a pristine Rotten Tomatoes score indicating critical approval and a spot in the top shows when it arrived on Netflix, the series found a new lease on life. Real fans of the show have been saying all along that Resident Alien is great, but putting it on Netflix helped grow that audience.
Based on a Dark Horse comic by Peter Hogan and Steve Parkhouse, in theory, the show had a pre-existing fanbase to build off of, albeit a small one.
Part comedy, part sci-fi, part procedural, and part mystery thriller, Resident Alien has something for everyone with a straightforward plot that gradually builds on itself. It follows a marooned Alien, who was sent to end all life on Earth but instead crash-landed in rural Colorado forcing him to take on a human disguise and gradually learn about humans.
Most shows about aliens living among humans lean on one joke and hope it holds. Resident Alien doesn’t do that. It uses the joke to get in the door, then quietly builds something smarter and more observant than it has any right to be.
Disguised as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, a man he knows nothing about, he ends up becoming the small town’s only doctor. Things get weirder for the new Harry from there, throwing him into an increasingly complicated web of social dynamics and mysteries.
Harry doesn’t misunderstand humans in cute ways; he misunderstands them in ways that expose how arbitrary many of our social rules actually are. Watching him struggle with basic concepts like politeness, grief, or compassion is funny because it’s accurate. A lot of human behavior only makes sense if you grew up inside it.
The show thrives on restraint. It resists the urge to constantly reassure the audience. It lets scenes run a little long. It allows discomfort. Sometimes the joke is simply that Harry says the wrong thing and no one laughs. Sometimes the scene ends without a joke at all.
Resident Alien never forgets that its central character is dangerous. This isn’t a cuddly outsider learning to love Earth. Harry is capable of mass murder, and the show keeps that fact in play. His growing attachment to humans creates tension because of what we know he could do to them. .
The series is an ideal showcase for Alyn Tudyk’s comedic talents, giving him a unique character with no understanding of human interaction, creating plenty of opportunities for slapstick comedy and genuine emotion. It’s the kind of role he was born to play.
Resident Alien doesn’t treat the town around Harry as background noise. They aren’t just there to react to his weirdness. They have problems that existed before he arrived and would continue if he left. Because of that, much of Resident Alien’s success also comes from a stellar supporting cast built up by the show, a great mix of established actors and lesser-known names. Those include Sara Tompko, who is often the straight man to Tudyk’s slapstick, Corey Reynolds as a butt of the joke sheriff, and Alice Weterlund as a bartender unknowingly pining for an alien.
Resident Alien flew under the radar on release, creating a dedicated but small fan base on the Syfy channel, hampered by not being available on any of the major streaming services. While it initially failed to reach the popular zeitgeist, it was an immediate critical darling, garnering a 97 percent on Rotten Tomatoes after the first two seasons.
Now that it’s finally on Netflix it has found a larger audience, briefly making its way onto Netflix’s top ten shows when it first arrived on the platform. The show’s audience was always there; it just needed the right platform to find it.
Resident Alien is worth your time. It trusts the audience and uses science fiction the way it’s supposed to be used, as a tool to look at ordinary life from an uncomfortable angle.
If you’re looking for the typical Marvel action sequences, you’re not going to find them in Wonder Man.
Unlike Marvel Studios’ previous attempts to lean into comedy on Disney+, Wonder Man gets in its lane and stays there.
It’s very rare when punches are thrown in this series, and most of those come during an in-universe look at a cheesy Wonder Man movie.
For anyone who’s still on the fence, Watch With Us will now answer this question: Is Marvel’s new Wonder Man series worth watching? And if so, why isn’t anyone talking about it?
Frozen’s Josh Gad and The Sopranos actor Joe Pantoliano both make their Marvel Cinematic Universe debuts on the new live-action Disney+ series Wonder Man. The two veteran actors are part of an off-kilter version of Hollywood that exists within the MCU, where superpowered individuals have been banned from the entertainment industry due to an edict […]
It’s Marvel’s Version of ‘Entourage’
It’s been almost 15 years since Entourage wrapped up its run on HBO, but Wonder Man seems like its successor. This show doesn’t become as farcical as Apple TV‘s Emmy-winning comedy The Studio, and it manages to walk a fine line between parody and a straightforward comedy. To give this series credibility, a handful of real actors appear as themselves, including Josh Gad, Ashley Greene, Mario Lopez and Joe Pantoliano.
The irony is that aside from perhaps Gad, those established performers are lower on the A-list than Wonder Man‘s stars, both of whom play struggling actors. Yahya Abdul-Mateen II leads the series as Simon Williams, while Ben Kingsley reprises his role as Trevor Slattery from Iron Man 3 and Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings. The biggest thing that Simon and Trevor have in common is a desire to be recognized for their acting prowess. They’re trying to break into a ridiculous world that may not want them, but every rejection makes them desire it even more.
Abdul-Mateen and Kingsley Have a Fun ‘Bromance’
The relationship between Simon and Trevor is the beating heart of this series. Wonder Man depicts their first meeting and their subsequent encounters in the initial episode, which is done in a very charming way. Trevor actually gets a great audition out of Simon by helping him get out of his own way. If their friendship had only grown out of that moment, it would be almost heartwarming.
January 2026 is going to be a good month for anyone who is looking for new TV shows to binge. However, it’s going to be a quiet period for films aside from a pair of sci-fi movies that were theatrically released in 2025. To get you through the month ahead, Watch With Us has assembled […]
Unfortunately for Simon, Trevor does have an ulterior motive for getting so close to him. We’re not going to spoil it for you here, but Trevor’s future may depend upon his willingness to figuratively stab Simon in the back. That’s the underlying tension, because these two guys genuinely like each other. Simon and Trevor may not agree about their acting methods, but their shared love for performing gives them something real to latch on to. Bro-mancing was also a big part of Entourage, which is why the comparison between the two shows seems so appropriate.
‘Wonder Man’ Shakes Up the MCU Formula for the Better
Let’s get this out of the way: Simon does have superpowers, but he isn’t interested in being a hero. Simon isn’t looking to become an Avenger or a costumed vigilante; he just wants to make his mark on the entertainment industry. However, he has to hide his powers, or else he’ll never get another opportunity to show off what he can do in front of the cameras.
There are only a handful of times in the entire series that Simon uses his powers, and he does so accidentally more often than intentionally. That’s something that may frustrate MCU fans who could use an action fix, but it’s a refreshing dose of character and small stakes drama/comedy that brings the Marvel Cinematic Universe back down to Earth. That’s the entire point of this show, and if that sounds good to you, then this is the superhero series you need to watch.
Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley in Wonder Man. Disney+
Maybe that’s why no one is talking about Wonder Man. Because it offers something more subtle than the usual superhero fare, the show isn’t discussed on social media as much as, say, The Boys. Hopefully, that doesn’t mean no one is watching. It’s enough that Wonder Man fulfils what it sets out to accomplish — to look at superheroes from a different angle that doesn’t involve one mindless action sequence after another. That’s what makes Wonder Man truly special — the show’s superpower is its restraint and your reward.
Wonder Man is now streaming on Disney+.

Classic ’70s Action Series Nearly Lost Its Leading Man Until a Co-Star Saved His Life [Exclusive]
Including David Tennant‘s DI Alec Hardy and future Oscar winner Olivia Colman‘s DI Ellie Miller in Broadchurch; Rust Cohle (Matthew McConaughey) and Marty Hart (Woody Harrelson) in True Detective; detectives Jimmy McNulty (Dominic West) and William “Bunk” Moreland (Wendell Pierce) in The Wire, and the iconic Mulder (David Duchovny) and Scully (Gillian Anderson) in The X-Files, a great crime series can often live and die by the chemistry of a pair of cops.
This was no better on display than in Rick Rosner‘s CHiPs, with the duo of Erik Estrada and Larry Wilcox delighting audiences for six seasons as California Highway Patrol motorcycle officers Jon Baker and Frank “Ponch” Poncherello. Running for 139 episodes, the series became a flagship success for NBC and earned millions of doting fans. This was thanks largely to the chemistry of Estrada and Wilcox, with their electric partnership not just limited to in front of the camera.
The duo recently appeared at Big Lick Comic-Con in Roanoke, VA, where they spoke on a panel hosted by Collider’s Maggie Lovitt. During the event, Estrada detailed a shocking story in which a stunt on the show nearly cost him his life, only for Wilcox to step in and use his military veteran instincts to save the day. “I had a little accident, plowed into a car, and then ended up with two punctured lungs, broken wrists, as you can see. Fractured ribs and cracked my jaw a little bit,” Estrada said, adding:
“So I hit the ground, and the next thing is Larry jumps on top of me and makes me focus because I’m now bleeding internally and turning blue, and he kept me focused and actually helped start to save my life there because we had to wait for the helicopter to come get me, to take me to UCLA. They wanted to open me up, see if I ruptured my aorta, and I said, ‘No, you’re not doing that.’ […] Larry helped save my life because of his experience in Vietnam. He saw it right away and jumped on it.”
A Rolls-Royce Brought Estrada Back to the Series
After refusing to come back to the show because of his accident, Estrada admitted in the same interview that the promise of a brand-new Rolls-Royce — “convertible Corniche with bamboo interior” — was enough to entice him back. Thanks to a clause in his contract, Wilcox was also able to land himself a black Rolls-Royce Corniche from production, which was the least he deserved after saving his co-star’s life.

I ‘Love’ Gigi Hadid … But I Was Never ‘In Love’ With Her
Published
Call Her Daddy
Zayn Malik is doubling down on a past claim that he’s never been in love … not even with his daughter’s mom, Gigi Hadid.
The singer got super candid with Alex Cooper on her “Call Her Daddy” podcast, delivering the coldest news in the warmest way possible.
Watch the clip … when Alex asks him if he still stands by a comment he made 2 years ago that he didn’t think he’d ever truly been in love, Zayn very politely agreed with the sentiment.
Zayn explained, “Because my understanding of love is always developing. At that moment in time, I might have thought it was love, but as I got older, I realized maybe it wasn’t. Maybe it was lust. Maybe it was this … maybe it was that … I don’t feel like it was love.”
But he did add a clarification … “I will always love G, because she’s the reason my child is on this Earth, and I have the utmost respect for her. I will always love her, but I don’t know if I was ever in love with her.”
Remember … The two had their daughter Khai in September 2020 and announced their split the following year. After a crazy, nasty breakup — Gigi’s mom, Yolanda, accused Zayn of striking Yolanda and pushing her into a dresser — Zayn and Gigi seem to be on much better terms.

I don’t believe in suffering for an outfit, especially on a regular weekday when I have places to be and zero patience. When I want to look slimmer fast, I always choose the path of least resistance with clothes that feel comfortable, flattering and easy to style. Thankfully, I’ve learned exactly which dresses never let me down, and I’m sharing my favorites below.
These are the 13 dresses on Amazon that I rely on when I need an instant outfit win without spending a fortune. Between ruched wrap styles that define the waist, flowy maxi dresses that smooth and A-line shapes that are forgiving, these pretty options do the heavy lifting for me. I just zip one on, grab my bag and go — no tailoring required! The best part? All of my picks are affordable with prices starting as low as $18.
13 Dresses That Provide a Slimming Appearance
1. My Favorite: This waist-cinching maxi is a standout when I’m craving an accentuated silhouette. The cinched middle creates that coveted hourglass effect, and the flared bottom drapes right over the hips and lower stomach.
2. Wrinkle-Free: I love how this casual maxi dress makes me look streamlined without feeling tight or restrictive — the loose silhouette does all the work. Add in the wrinkle-free fabric, and it’s an easy win for travel or everyday wear.
3. Wrapped Winner: Whenever I want to look slimmer and show a little leg, this colorful wrap dress is my go-to pick. The cinched waist defines my shape and the slit makes it perfect for date nights, rooftop dinners or warm-weather events.
4. Has Pockets: I reach for this easy maxi dress when I want everything to feel smoothed out. It glides over the midsection and hips effortlessly, thanks to the lightweight, flowy fabric. Plus, the pockets make it easy to wear all day without carrying a bag.
5. Loose and Slimming: I love how a flowy maxi dress, like this top-rated option, can still feel flattering. The laid-back fabric skims over my curves and makes it comfortable enough to lounge in all day.
6. Curve-Accentuating: There’s something very polished about a belted wrap dress that’s made with super soft knit materials. The defined waist and clean wrap lines give it that expensive-looking, body-flattering finish.
7. Totally Transitional: This cinched mini dress is one I reach for when the weather starts to shift. Designed with a waist-defining fit, puffed sleeves and a flowy hem, this dress is easy to go from day into night.
8. Date Night-Ready: When date night calls for something flattering (but not fussy), this sheer wrap dress is my answer. I appreciate the shaping cinched-waist detail that give me an hourglass look. Plus, the see-through accents add a little allure in the best way.
9. Must-Have Midi: This A-line midi dress does all the flattering work for me. The flared skirt creates a lean silhouette that moves nicely as I walk. With 41 colors to choose from, it’s easy to make this option feel casual or elevated.
10. Floral Favorite: This floral midi dress hits that sweet spot for wedding-adjacent events, like bridal showers or rehearsal brunches. It cinches at the waist and flows out just enough to feel elegant without stealing the spotlight.
11. Knitted Perfection: I reach for this contrast knit maxi when I want something polished that still feels comfortable. The defined waist creates shape, and the bold stripes slim and lengthen the lower half.
12. Mini Moment: This knitted black mini is one dress I live in during the cooler months. The slimming fit-and-flare shape works beautifully with tights, boots and an oversized coat.
13. Clever Ruching: This ruched shirt dress is one of my favorite silhouettes for a reason. The collar and button front keep it streamlined, while the belted ruching smooths and defines my waist.

The plows and hoes will have to wait — the search for love has begun.
Brandi Glanville is standing by Jill Zarin‘s side after the latter faced consequences for slamming Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl performance.
The drama began after the Puerto Rican rapper headlined this year’s halftime show in Spanish, leaving many upset over the lack of English songs. “The Real Housewives of New York City” alum was among those who criticized his performance.
Following her scathing review of Bad Bunny’s show, Jill Zarin was removed from an upcoming reunion show. Brandi Glanville recently reacted to her pal’s termination, stressing that people shouldn’t be punished for having different opinions.

“I want to watch Jill on TV explain herself & hopefully learn something. Or we can just keep watching ‘yes people’ afraid to share,” Glanville concluded. Her words divided fans in the comments, with some agreeing with Glanville while others argued that Zarin’s words were offensive.

In the supportive corner, one fan agreed with Glanville that Zarin had simply shared her opinion on Bad Bunny’s performance. “She didn’t say anything offensive. You’all act like she ate babies….oh wait…you people think that’s ok. Grow up,” the X user argued.
“Brandi, you’re my girl. Completely feel the same way,” another supporter chimed in.

On the other hand, critics slammed both Glanville and Zarin, stressing that there was no room for racism.

How The Reality TV Star Reacted To Her Exit
Glanville’s reaction to Zarin’s termination follows the latter’s comments about her exit. While speaking to In Touch, Zarin argued that she wasn’t given a chance to clear her name. “I took it down right away. People make mistakes. I’m human,” she said about the since-deleted controversial post.

As stated, Zarin had a major problem with Bad Bunny’s Spanish performance, complaining in a since-deleted Instagram post that she could not understand a word of it.

Andy Cohen Joined The List Of Those Slamming Jill Zarin
Zarin went on to label Bad Bunny’s performance “a political statement because there were literally no white people in the entire thing.” Additionally, she slammed Lady Gaga for allegedly getting a facelift, noting she could barely recognize the singer and had to Google her face to find her name.
The Blast shared that Bravo executive Andy Cohen addressed Zarin’s reaction to the Super Bowl performance on his “Radio Andy” show. He subtly slammed her by passing the baton to E! because Zarin was no longer employed by Bravo.

“And in terms of Jill, just… I don’t know. You know, call E!” Cohen said, referencing the upcoming “RHONY” reunion show.

Nancy Guthrie Case
New Note Demands 1 Bitcoin to Rat Out Suspect
Published
There’s a new note in the Nancy Guthrie case, but this one doesn’t seem to be from the kidnappers … instead, it’s from someone offering to give up information on the kidnapper.
TMZ received the note just before 5 AM PT, and the sender claims they’ve tried unsuccessfully to reach Savannah Guthrie‘s brother, Camron, and her sister, Annie, by email and text. The note goes on, “If they want the name of the individual involved then I want 1 Bitcoin to the following wallet. Time is more than relevant.”
