Lena Dunham says her fixation on the “Scandoval” cheating scandal that rocked Vanderpump Rules pushed her to pitch a dramatic “mini-movie” of the reunion episode to Bravo host Andy Cohen during the 2023 writers strike, The Independent reports.

Appearing on the Shut Up Evan podcast, the writer-director recalled becoming “so obsessed” with the fallout that she treated the reality-tv transcript “like Shakespeare” and admits she “abused” Cohen’s phone number to lobby for the project. The strike hiatus, she argued, presented a window to “turn chaos into art” while most scripted sets were dark.

Dunham’s casting wish-list paired Andrew Scott with Jennifer Lawrence—Scott as the embattled bar owner Tom Sandoval and Lawrence as Ariana Madix, whose nine-year relationship collapsed when Sandoval’s affair with Rachel Leviss became public.

She imagined prestigious actors delivering the reunion’s expletive-laced dialogue “with all the passion and virtuosity of theatre,” according to Entertainment Weekly.

Although Vanderpump Rules is preparing to move on from ‘Scandoval‘ with its rebooted Season 12, Lena Dunham isn’t quite ready to let go.

The Too Much creator recently shared her vision for a film based on the shocking affair between Tom Sandoval and Rachel Leviss that was unpacked during the Bravo reality show’s Season 10 reunion in 2023, as Sandoval’s estranged ex Ariana Madix had the chance to confront them both.

“We should basically create like a mini movie in which actors treat this as canon and get up and perform it with all the passion and virtuosity of Shakespeare,” said Dunham on the Shut Up Evan podcast. “I went so far as to abuse Andy Cohen‘s contact information to pitch him the idea.”

Although Cohen didn’t greenlight Dunham’s pitch, he did host a live reading of the explosive ‘Scandoval’ reunion on Sirius Xm’s Radio Andy,...

Trigger Warning: This article discusses buccal fat removal and topics related to cosmetic surgery.

Jenna Ortega is back in the news, but it has nothing to do with her acting chops. After photos of the 22-year-old at the Wednesday Season 2 premiere in a nude gown hit social media, she started trending on X. Fans began sharing side-by-side pictures, zooming in on what they saw as slimmer cheeks and a sharper jawline.

All of this set off a wave of guesses and opinions online. Some think she may have had buccal fat removal, a procedure that’s supposed to make your face look more sculpted. Whether that’s true or not, it’s clear everyone has an opinion when it comes to celebrity looks. Let’s look at the fan reactions.

A Kylie Jenner fan begged to know the truth: “You’ve got what I’m looking for,” raved Rachel Leary on TikTok in June. “You’ve got the most perfect natural-looking boob job ever! What was it you asked for?” And, to the surprise of all, the Kylie Cosmetics founder actually replied — with her exact breast augmentation order and the name of her surgeon, Garth Fisher. Just a month before, her mom, Kris, had been equally forthcoming, crediting surgeon Steven Levine with her rejuvenated look and making him an overnight celebrity.

Kristin Cavallari has revealed the exact number of ccs she had injected for her own breast augmentation (“Everyone thinks I went a lot bigger but I’ve just pushed them up a couple times”). Ricki Lake not only announced on Andy Cohen’s Watch What Happens Live that she had a neck and lower facelift, she gave a “shout-out” to L.

Meghan Markle’s Netflix show, “With Love, Meghan,” debuted at a humiliating 383 on the first half of the 2025 Netflix list. It failed to make the top ten programs as the Duchess of Sussex suffers another massive flop.

“With Love, Meghan.” Only Had 5.3 Million Viewers Across The Globe

“With Love, Meghan” shows Meghan hosting, cooking, and gardening. Her series had only 5.3 million viewers worldwide since it was first broadcast in March.

That said, Meghan, who played in the legal drama, “Suits,” is far more popular on the streaming giant than “With Love, Meghan.”

Even older shows like “Young Sheldon” and “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” are outperforming Meghan’s show. People enjoy older shows more.

Even Netflix series that have been viewed a thousand times by fans, like “Ozark” and “Orange is the New Black,” are watched more often than “With Love, Meghan.”

Meghan’s show was evidently a “hate-watch.” It performed well at first,...

Ciara has been slaying the leggy game recently. Following her jaw-dropping appearance at the BET Awards 2025 in a Cong Tri fringed mini skirt and Saint Laurent wraparound heels, she’s back with another sizzling look on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. This time, she’s heating things up even more with her mini skirt and killer pair of over-the-knee boots by Balenciaga.

Ciara had quite a chat with Cohen! She dished on her biggest inspirations, including Serena Williams, Janet Jackson, and Kelly Rowland. She weighed in on all the hottest topics, from Taylor Swift reclaiming her masters to the skyrocketing prices of concert and Broadway tickets. She also revealed that, despite previously rejecting others, she permitted Megan Thee Stallion to sample her hit Goodies.

The Duchess of Sussex is coming back, and so is the buzz! Meghan Markle’s lifestyle docuseries on Netflix, With Love, Meghan, is officially returning for a second season. Now, while some viewers may not be ecstatic about this news, the show’s return doesn’t come as a surprise, considering the traction Season 1 gained, thanks to the viral moment in the Mindy Kaling episode.

During a seemingly casual and friendly exchange, Kaling referred to the Duchess as ‘Meghan Markle’, only to be corrected by her. The footage sparked widespread commentary across YouTube and social media, with many noting the moment seemed performative, awkward, or just plain tone-deaf. While the internet had a grand field day with the clip, Meghan seems unbothered. She’s now doubling down on her vision for the show.

Well, the trial of P Diddy (or Puff Daddy) is currently underway, and the world is interested in every moment of it. Waiting to see justice served, several important witnesses and testimonies have been involved in the trial.

That’s where Gigolos star Jimmy Clabots comes in. The actor revealed that he knew all about what was going on in Diddy’s bedroom long before the trial came to pass. However, what Clabors didn’t see much of was the alleged violence that has become a big issue in the trial.

Jimmy Clabots confirmed the dr*g use claims, but no violence!

Trigger warning: Mention of assault, abuse, trauma, s*x.

Diddy is one of the most powerful figures in the industry, and now the billionaire is being accused of orchestrating a web of fear and abuse, manipulating people behind closed doors in the worst way possible.

Everyone’s watching the downfall of someone who was the golden mogul of the 2000s hip-hop era, as explosive allegations threaten to rewrite his legacy. The courtroom buzzed with unease when Cassie Ventura took the stand and laid out some gruesome details about their relationship, one of them being extortion.

One of the most jarring revelations in the trial came when Cassie Ventura’s mother, Regina Ventura, gave her testimony. She claimed that Diddy had threatened to harm her daughter by releasing explicit footage because he found out that she was dating Scott Ramon Seguro Mescudi,...

Former Outlawz rapper Napoleon has opened up about his feelings about Kidada Jones partying with P Diddy just six months after Tupac Shakur’s death. Jones was dating 2Pac and was with him when he was shot in 1996. She was at the hospital when he died from his injuries six days later. Napoleon shared that seeing Kidada Jones at Diddy’s party felt like a betrayal.

Jones allegedly attended the party with her friend Aaliyah, and she was seen together with Diddy and The Notorious B.I.G. The latter had a major feud with 2Pac and was even suspected in the drive-by shooting incident that killed Pac. However, Napoleon added that he doesn’t feel the same way about Jones now.

Some stories don’t make headlines; they jolt them. There’s something wildly unsettling about watching once-adored cultural figures get dragged, one by one, from the polished pedestal into the courtroom. P Diddy’s name was once synonymous with power and swagger. Now? His ex-assistant just testified under oath that he watched him down ecstasy pills shaped like Barack Obama’s face.

And as if the timeline wasn’t strange enough, an old clip of Diddy with Obama has now resurfaced—just as Chrissy Teigen’s infamous “the Obama thing” confession about her and John Legend’s public intimacy resurfaces alongside it. A terrifying overlap between politics, pleasure, and power? There’s no neat bow to tie this one. But there is a hell of a conversation.

The 39-year-old model, who celebrated 6 months of sobriety in 2022, revealed that she recently let alcohol back into her life.

On Friday (May 2), the 39-year-old Deal or No Deal Island star took to Instagram to share a bunch of photos and videos of her two youngest kids, daughter Esti, 2, and son Wren, 22 months, playing.

There is no shortage of romance in Hollywood with couple goals in every corner you turn to. However, there is just something about Tom Holland and Zendaya that makes us kick our feet in excitement like a teenage girl. The two have been going strong since they first confirmed their relationship and their chemistry both on and off screen has captured the hearts of fans around the world.

From being in complete sync with each other to supporting their careers, Tom Holland and Zendaya’s moments together prove time and time again why they are the cutest couple in Tinseltown.

Television history is filled with wild and awkward moments, from shocking confessions to weird revelations. And when it comes to Ellen DeGeneres, the TV personality has had several of these moments on her now off-air The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

One such moment happened when the heartthrob Michael B. Jordan came on the show, when Chrissy Teigen was co-hosting with DeGeneres. Well, the conversation soon switched over to his love life, and some things were revealed that soon turned it into one of the wildest Ellen DeGeneres moments.

Cautious optimism. This had been the mood, earlier this year, of many of New York City’s top brokers as they navigated the challenges of low inventory and high interest rates. Then came the stock market convulsions and recessionary fears triggered in April by President Trump’s sweeping tariffs. “Even with financial uncertainties — political instability, layoffs and global tensions — New York’s real estate market remains resilient,” said Steven Cohen of Douglas Elliman, speaking before the market convulsions. “Moving to its own rhythm and continuing to attract discerning buyers and investors — quite a bit of opportunity in the market right now.”

The volatility Cohen alludes to has since dramatically increased, as has the likelihood of a slowdown in the luxury real estate market. Yet the source of New York brokers’ optimism remains unchanged: a belief that the Big Apple will always find a way to thrive in the long term,...

At this point, Netflix just wants their money back, and they’re willing to follow the Sussexes down any path to get it.

At the turn of the century, a new genre of television made its way to the mainstream that was less polished and more accessible than its traditional drama and comedy counterparts. Dubbed "reality TV" because of its focus on everyday people instead of actors, this low-budget, documentary-style format pioneered by shows like The Real World became instantly lucrative for networks. Competition programs like Survivor, American Idol, and The Amazing Race soon dominated the broadcast channels, while unstructured fare like Jersey Shore, The Real Housewives, and The Osbournes took over cable.

Nina Agdal, the Danish fashion model who rose to prominence through her standout appearances in the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, brings an effortless blend of glamour and approachability to everything she does.

Standing approximately 5 feet 8 ¾ inches (174.6 cm)—though often billed as 5 feet 9 inches by her agency—Nina has the statuesque presence of a runway regular.

Still, despite her model credentials, she’s refreshingly candid about her footwear preferences: “If I’m dancing, I’m definitely not wearing heels. I just don’t love wearing heels… I just love wearing a sneaker,” she once revealed, offering a glimpse into her grounded, comfort-first philosophy.

Her vital statistics are reported as 34″-23.5″-34.5″. She was born on March 26, 1992, and gained widespread recognition when she appeared on the 50th-anniversary cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2014, alongside Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge.

Chrissy Teigen never shies away from the spotlight—or a pair of sky-high heels. The tall Sports Illustrated model embraces her stature with unapologetic confidence. Whether she’s clapping back at red carpet critics or turning heads in designer stilettos, Teigen’s bold personality is perfectly matched by her fearless, fashion-first approach to dressing.

Known for her showstopping style and signature glam, she has long championed high heels as a non-negotiable wardrobe staple. According to Teigen, flats are firmly off the table. “I only wear heels,” she once told PopSugar, noting that she feels “very uncomfortable in flats.”

Her preference isn’t just a style statement—it’s anatomical. “My calves are actually abnormally tight, [and I’m] flat-footed and very relaxed in a 6-inch heel,” she explained, adding that she regularly sees a chiropractor to offset the strain. While she’s gradually warming up to sneakers (especially if they’re a cool...

British royal family news reveals that one year ago this month Princess Catherine made an announcement that immediately made her more relatable as a person, but in a manner that none of us would wish for her or ourselves.

Genat won the finale by making a deal for $5,800,000 by taking plenty of calculated risks.

In an exclusive interview with People, Genat, who has previously competed on Australian Survivor, expressed how happy he was to take the money home. “It’s everything to me,” he added. However, the winner confessed that more than the money, he wanted the title of winning Deal or No Deal Island.
