The Mormon Wives’ Surprise Double Announcement

The ballroom is now going to get a taste of MomTok drama! In the reunion episode of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, host Nick Viall dropped a bombshell that excited fans—not one, but two cast members will compete for the Mirror Ball trophy in Dancing with the Stars Season 34.

Dreams are happening, Poore

This revelation came when Viall revealed that “a lot” of ladies auditioned for the popular dance competition while filming Season 3 of his show.

When asked who wants the most spot, Whitney Leavitt immediately replied: “I feel like me, Jen, and.”

But when it came to who really deserves it, the cast supported Jennifer Affleck.

“Just because it’s her life dream since childhood,” Taylor Frankie Paul explained, and Jen confirmed, “Yes, it really is.”

From TikTok to Tango

The energy in the room changed when Viall revealed an unexpected twist—producers loved the MomTok crew so much that two of them will be included in the DWTS lineup.

While Jen secured her dream spot as expected, Whitney, who others consider “a real dancer” who “has been dancing her whole life,” took second position, which could set up a friendly rivalry between the two social media stars.

Star-Studded Season Ahead

The MomTokers won’t be dancing in the spotlight alone.

They will join an already exciting Season 34 lineup that includes Robert Irwin, son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, who was announced as a contestant in April. Social media powerhouse Alix Earle was also confirmed in May.

Friendly Competition Is Starting

Though the announcement sparked a little playful banter between the two selected MomTokers, both women appeared genuinely thrilled to showcase their dancing skills on national television.

The moment marks a significant leap from TikTok fame to mainstream television for both women, who have built their following through the controversial and drama-filled Mormon MomTok community.

Though ABC has not announced an official premiere date for Dancing with the Stars Season 34, fans will be able to watch the MomTok stars demonstrate their dance moves when the show returns this fall.

Will their social media popularity translate to dancing success? Or will ballroom bring unexpected challenges? Whatever happens, viewers can expect plenty of entertainment when these TikTok stars trade their phones for dance shoes.

Kelly Rowland New Coach Alert!

Kelly Rowland is stepping into a new spotlight. The Grammy-winning singer gave fans a glimpse of her newest gig as a coach on The Voice UK.

“New gig, who dis…” the 44-year-old singer shared on Instagram Stories, showing herself walking near those iconic red spinning chairs while crew members were busy on set.

Star-Studded Panel

The Voice UK announced its season 14 coaching lineup earlier this month, giving a clever nod to Rowland’s Destiny’s Child days: “Kelly… can you handle this? 😏”

Rowland is joining a powerhouse panel that includes music legend Tom Jones, Black Eyed Peas frontman Will. I. am, and British pop duo Tom Fletcher & Danny Jones of McFly fame.

Mean Girls Meets Music

In a playful Instagram Reel, the coaches announced the news via a Mean Girls-inspired whisper chain set to Missy Elliott’s “Pass That Dutch.”

The video shows the McFly guys sharing secrets with Jones, who tells Will.i.am, before finally reaching Rowland, who reacts with a surprised face and then smiles.

Old connection to talent shows

Judging singing competitions is nothing new for Rowland.

She has previously lent her expertise to The X Factor UK, where she helped form the wildly successful girl group Little Mix.

“I just remember seeing all those ladies, and I didn’t know if it was because of my DC days and just feeling what the chemistry would be like,” Rowland explained about her instinct to bring the group together.

“I knew how they would feel in my soul.”

Her talent show resume also includes stints on The X Factor US and The Voice Australia, leaving her well-prepared for her UK coaching debut.

Kelly is also on your screens

In addition to The Voice UK, Rowland is set to appear as a guest judge on Netflix’s upcoming music competition, Building the Band, where contestants form groups without seeing each other.

The show, which premieres July 9, features Backstreet Boys’ AJ McLean as the host and Nicole Scherzinger as the mentor and judge.

Late One Direction star Liam Payne will also posthumously appear as a judge, who filmed his own segments in October before his tragic death.

Rowland previously told PEOPLE that Payne was “absolutely hilarious” during filming.

“I had no idea how funny he was, so I knew him, and he’s so cool,” she shared last August.

As filming for The Voice UK continues, fans are eagerly awaiting the premiere date—and the chance to see the “Motivation” singer bring his star power to those famous red chairs.

Blake Lively and Dorota’s Gossip Girl Reunion in Betty Booze

Blake Lively reunited with Gossip Girl co-star Dorota in a Betty Booze ad.

XOXO: Sweet Reunion of the Upper East Side

Blake Lively gave Gossip Girl fans the reunion they’ve been waiting for.

The actress, 37, brought back a beloved character from her CW days in a fun ad for the Betty Booze brand—none other than Dorota herself, played by Zuzanna Szadkowski.

Sipping Tea with Nostalgia

In this playful new campaign, Lively and Szadkowski meet on a park bench to catch up and literally “spill the tea”—that is, Betty Booze’s new Vodka Iced Tea flavors.

The commercial begins with a Gossip Girl-style sneaky photo snap, after which the two remove their dark sunglasses for their secret meeting.

“I have tea,” Szadkowski announces with a revealing look.

“Good tea?” Lively asks.

“Oh, best tea,” Szadkowski replies, revealing new canned cocktails.

Inside Jokes for Faithful Fans

The commercial is filled with hints about their shared television past.

When Lively jokes that Szadkowski is “doing a different sound,” poking fun at Dorota’s iconic Polish accent, Szadkowski immediately replies, “Oh, allergies.”

The ad ends with Szadkowski returning to character, with the accent: “Oh, Miss Betty, you’re going to get us in trouble.”

New Flavors Worth Gossiping About

The reunion celebrates the launch of two new Betty Booze Vodka Iced Tea flavors: Meyer lemonade and passion fruit.

Szadkowski describes them as “balanced, crisp, nothing artificial,” after which Lively adds with perfect timing, “which is hard to find in these areas.”

Lively playfully commanded fans in the video’s caption, “Go. Sip, girl,” a clever nod to the show’s title.

Betty Empire Expands

This latest addition expands Lively’s growing beverage empire.

She launched Betty Buzz sparkling mixers in 2021, followed by Betty Booze’s tequila and bourbon canned cocktails in 2023.

“I’m from a Southern family, so iced tea, especially in the summer, is a staple,” Lively told PEOPLE earlier this month.

“Sweet tea, passionfruit tea, tea with fresh lemonade … it all feels like relaxation and peaceful times.”

This Is Not Their First Reunion

Both actresses have occasionally reconnected with their Gossip Girl families since the show ended in 2012.

Szadkowski has previously reunited with several cast members in 2022, including Chace Crawford, Jessica Szohr, and Ed Westwick.

For fans of the iconic series, seeing Serena and Dorota together again—even if it’s just for a commercial—brings back all the Upper East Side feelings.

And this time, there’s a proper drink to toast to.

Australian Survivor Host LaPaglia’s Shocking Exit Revealed

Australian Survivor host Jonathan LaPaglia faces unexpected exit from the show, fans shocked.

Table of Contents

Unexpected Tribal Council

Jonathan LaPaglia had absolutely no idea. After hosting Australian Survivor for almost a decade, he was “voted out” from his own show, which he called the “craziest blindside.”

“Australian Survivor has seen epic blindsides in the last 10 years,” LaPaglia shared on Instagram, “but this one is the craziest… because it happened to me.”

The phone call that changed everything

The veteran host revealed he got the dreaded call from Network 10. He thanked them for their “hard work and dedication,”

then dropped a bomb—they’re going in a different direction for next season.

“Ratings were down a little recently and they wanted to do something drastic to shake the show up,” he explained.

No Immunity Idol Could Have Saved Them

LaPaglia, 55, handled the news with humor that Survivor fans can understand.

He joked that a “host swap” was happening instead of a “tribe swap” and noted that he had no hidden immunity idol to save himself from elimination.

“Whoever said that blindsiding is the most humane way to hurt someone is an idiot,” he added sincerely. “It hurts a lot!”

Memories of a Decade

Apart from the pain, LaPaglia’s message was filled with gratitude for the time spent on the show.

“I will miss the talented crew, all the clever players and our loyal sassy audience,” he wrote. “This has been the greatest adventure of my career.”

In a touching final gesture, he extinguished his own torch and concluded: “JLP…the tribe has spoken.”

Goodbye to Network

Network 10 and Australian Survivor confirmed his departure with kind words.

“JLP brings a unique blend of authority, intelligence and empathy to the role of host,” their joint statement read.

“We are sincerely grateful to JLP for his outstanding contribution over 10 years on Survivor.”

One Last Adventure

Fans will finally see LaPaglia in the upcoming 13th season, “Australia V The World.”

This special edition will see Australian contestants compete against international Survivor legends, including American favorites Cirie Fields, Parvati Shallow, and Tony Vlachos.

LaPaglia promises this will “probably be our best season EVER!”

As the torch is passed to a yet-unnamed new host, this unexpected twist marks the end of an era of Australian Survivor—and the start of a new chapter for both the show and its longtime host.

Quinta Brunson contemplates Abbott Elementary’s future

With success comes tough decisions

Quinta Brunson is at a turning point with her hit show Abbott Elementary.

As the beloved comedy approaches its fifth season, the 35-year-old creator and star is wondering what’s next.

“We’re very lucky that our show has lasted five seasons and the audience still loves it,” Brunson told Bustle.

“But my cast members want to explore other opportunities, and Abbott takes up seven months of our time.

It’s a big commitment that limits their chances of doing other things.”

Balancing success and new dreams

While there’s no set date for the show’s ending, Brunson is thinking beyond the classroom walls.

She’s currently reading scripts and waiting for her next perfect role.

“I want to use Abbott’s success to help other people’s creative projects move forward,” she explained.

Breaking away from her image

What’s next for the star? Something completely different.

“It’s every actor’s dream to break away from their image,” Brunson admitted. “Right now, everyone sees me as ‘Janine’ and ‘Teacher.’

I’m excited to show a completely different side of myself.”

The Abbotts’ ongoing journey

The school comedy, which debuted in 2021, quickly found a place in the hearts of viewers.

Though Season 5 was confirmed in January, a premiere date has not yet been announced.

Fans can expect the main cast to return, including Tyler James Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Janelle James, Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti and William Stanford Davis.

The Cast’s Strong Bonds

The Abbott family has deep bonds. Chris Perfetti told PEOPLE earlier this year: “I feel very connected to my Abbott family.

It’s been a blessing to play Jacob for so long, and these guys became my family from day one.”

Lisa Walter even revealed that the cast received a pay raise ahead of Season 4, joking that they got “a little more money and as many Hot Pockets as I could eat.”

What’s Next

As Brunson moves forward at this point in her career, she’s balancing gratitude for Abbott’s success and excitement for future possibilities.

Whether she continues the beloved series or embarks on a new path, her creative journey has only just begun.

Fans can watch all episodes of Abbott Elementary on Hulu while they await news about Season 5.

Abby Elliott: From SNL failure to ‘The Bear’ success

Abby Elliott’s story: How she found success in ‘The Bear’ after being fired from SNL

Table of Contents

Abby Elliott joined SNL

When Abby Elliott joined “Saturday Night Live” in 2008, it wasn’t just a dream job—she was carrying on a family tradition.

As the daughter of Chris Elliott and the granddaughter of Bob Elliott, she became the third generation to step into Studio 8H, carrying on a legacy of laughter.

SNL’s every-week rollercoaster

“Every week was a new week,” Elliott told The Independent recently.

Her happiness? Dependent entirely on whether or not her sketches made it to the air.

After three sketch-less weeks, the anxiety would set in: “Oh, am I going to get fired?”

The fear of being fired was always looming. “It was the worst thing that could happen,” she admitted. “And then, to some extent, it did.”

Queen of Impressions

During her SNL days, Elliott carved out a niche for herself—much like today’s Chloe Fineman—she became the cast’s most reliable mimic.

Audiences loved her near-perfect imitations of everyone from Rachel Maddow to Angelina Jolie.

Awkward farewell

In a shocking twist, Elliott initially talked to Lorne Michaels about leaving the show, but soon changed her mind.

“I went back to him, head down, begging him to stay,” she revealed. But Michaels had made up his mind: “No, I’m going to let you go.”

She left in 2012 along with Kristen Wiig and Andy Samberg, making way for new cast members like Cecily Strong, Tim Robinson and Kate McKinnon.

Finding her true path

Looking back, Elliott sees being fired not as a rejection but a new direction.

“As much as I loved being on that show, sketch comedy wasn’t for me.

That’s not how I started, and that’s not how I wanted to end up.”

She added, “I had learned the lessons I needed to learn … so I left and, you know, the water was warm.”

Golden success in ‘The Bear’

Elliott has since made a name for herself in scripted television, most notably as Natalie “Sugar” Barzatto on the hit show ‘The Bear.’ Her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination, putting her up there with legends like Meryl Streep and Christina Ricci.

Sometimes getting fired isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of something even better.

Todd Chrisley Embarrassed by daughter’s singing

Todd Chrisley family truth – Why Todd did not watch Savannah’s Masked Singer show

Table of Contents

Family first, except when it’s embarrassing

Todd Chrisley has come clean about why he didn’t watch his daughter Savannah’s Masked Singer appearance. “I didn’t watch it because I was embarrassed for her.

I knew she was going to be in it, but she can’t sing,” he said with a laugh during ABC’s new special “The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup.”

Savannah acknowledged her dad’s honesty, adding: “Yeah, I was really bad.” Meanwhile, mom Julie revealed she did in fact watch the performance.

From prison to pardon

The reality TV star and his wife Julie, were in prison for bank fraud and tax evasion when Savannah appeared on the singing competition in season 11 as the Afghan Hound.

After giving a weak performance of “The Lion Sleeps Tonight,” she became the first contestant to be eliminated.

Despite his criticism, Todd appreciated the bigger picture: “The good thing is she went and did that, and she didn’t care how bad she was.”

Daughter becomes family breadwinner

While her parents were in prison, Savannah, 27, took on several important responsibilities:

Sent brother Grayson to college

Dealt with the family’s legal matters

Campaigned for her parents’ pardons

Started the “Unlocked” podcast

Founded telehealth beauty service Good Girl RX

Appeared on several TV shows

“A child shouldn’t have to take care of their parent,” Todd told ABC’s Juju Chang. “A parent’s job is to take care of their child.”

Life after prison

Following an unexpected pardon by President Trump in May, which commuted their total sentences to 19 years, the Chrisleys are now reuniting with family in Nashville.

Brother Chase has noticed some changes in his parents since their release: Julie’s hair is now darker (despite her insistence to return to her platinum blonde color), and Todd has gotten “super fit” after working hard in the prison gym.

“The Chrisleys: Life After Lockup” premieres June 29 on Hulu and Disney+ and will air June 30 on Good Morning America.

Shocking revelations about the last film of Fast Furious

Exciting revelations about Paul Walker’s return and the last film of Fast Furious.

Table of Contents

Fast Furious Vin Diesel made a big announcement

The wait for the final film of the Fast and Furious franchise is about to end!

Vin Diesel gave the crowd at FuelFest in Pomona, California, on Saturday, some news that surprised every fan.

Will be released in April 2027

“The studio said to me, ‘Vin, can we put the finale of Fast and Furious in April 2027?'” Diesel said to the excited crowd. “I said, ‘With three conditions.'”

Three conditions that will change the game

Diesel made his conditions clear: “First, bringing the franchise back to LA! Second, returning to the world of car culture and street racing,” he explained.

“And third, bringing Dom and Brian O’Connor back together.”

Special plan in memory of Paul Walker

Brian O’Connor was played by the late actor Paul Walker, who died in a car accident in November 2013 at the age of 40.

Although Diesel did not reveal how Brian will return, many franchises have been bringing back their beloved characters using CGI technology.

CGI has been used before

This will not be the first time that a deceased actor’s character will be brought back on screen.

Characters of actors like Carrie Fisher (Star Wars), Christopher Reeve (Superman), and Ian Home (Alien) have also been kept alive in a similar way.

Last tribute to Paul Walker

Walker’s accident happened when he was shooting for Fast and Furious 7.

The filmmakers took special care to give their character a proper farewell.

To complete his scenes, the help of various doubles, CGI, and even Walker’s brothers was taken.

Brian’s farewell was emotional

In the character’s sendoff, Brian took one last ride with Diesel’s Dominic Toretto to take down Deckard Shaw (Jason Statham).

In the final scene, Brian and Dom raced a quarter-mile, then a bend in the road led to Brian going one way and Dom going the other.

The final film will be emotional

Fast and Furious is now moving on to its eleventh film, billed as the final installment of the franchise.

Director Louis Leterrier has already told Entertainment Weekly, “You’re going to cry. Part 2 will be a sad movie.”

He added, “In my mind, they’re modern saints. At the end, Dante says, ‘A person becomes a saint in two ways: either they perform a miracle, or they sacrifice themselves for the greater good.’

So yes, you’re going to cry. There are some tears in your future, let me tell you.”

Mysterious Kristin Davis’ revelations about the character ‘Mr. Pussy’

Kristin Davis’ revelations about the famous Mr. Pussy character from Sex and the City.

Table of Contents

An Actor Who Gave It All

It’s been 26 years since Sex and the City aired, but “Mr. Pussy” is still fresh in Kristin Davis‘ mind.

In a recent episode of her podcast “Are You a Charlotte?”, Davis shared her experiences from the Season 2 episode “The Freak Show.”

The Episode Everyone Remembers

Remember the episode? The one that showed that all men are weird in some way or another.

Charlotte (Davis), who seems to be the shyest of the four friends, gets into a relationship with a gentleman named Mitch Sailor, who is known as “Mr. Pussy” in New York City.

Oysters, figs and commitment

“I remember it like it was yesterday, because in several takes we all had to watch him and he does something with that oyster – and later with that fig too – and we just had to watch him.

It was too much. I was like, ‘No, no.’ This actor was really dedicated!” Davis said.

She continued her salute, saying, “Charlie! We got some really dedicated male actors, okay? And this guy was at the top of the list.

He gave his full commitment to every scene, without apology. It was impressive, but also a little scary.”

Real nervousness

Later, Davis talked about the montage of bed scenes between her and Mr. P, and “all the nervous laughing.”

“Listen, it was real. It was Kristin dying that I had to act like someone was getting intimate with me and I would get emotional on camera. I was dying. Dying. Dying.”

“And people think I’m a puritan!”

Discussing the episode, she said that her character and Mr. P barely talk — they just engage in intimate acts — but said Charlotte becomes “addicted” to Mr. P.

“And people think I’m a puritan!” Davis commented.

Where is Mr. P today?

So where is Mr. P these days? Although he continues to act, he hasn’t been seen in a major project in quite a while.

(He was in an episode of Ed in 2002 and, in 2015, starred in a fun mattress commercial for Sealy Hong Kong.)

His primary work, however, appears to be as a writer. In 2013, he published “Men of War: My Adventures in the World of Historical Reenactment,” a well-received first-person account in which Schroeder, who “knew nothing about history,” involved himself with enthusiasts who dress up in hot uniforms in state parks all summer long.

He’s also a radio producer, and has written numerous articles about sports and living in Hong Kong for a number of notable outlets, including the Los Angeles Times, AARP Magazine and the New York Observer, which is of course where Candace Bushnell’s original “Sex and the City” column began all those years ago.

7 Powerful Secrets of Waterfront Season 2

Discover all the secrets about the second season of Netflix’s biggest hit, Waterfront.

Table of Contents

What will be the next step?

Released on Netflix in June 2025, “The Waterfront” has captivated the audience with its story.

Kevin Williamson’s show, inspired by his family’s history, shows the story of the Buckley family of a coastal town called Havenport.

Family secrets

The fishing business of this wealthy family of Havenport is sinking, and they are trying to save their empire by working with drug smugglers.

Interestingly, the story is inspired by the experiences of Williamson’s own father, who worked delivering drugs on his boat in the 80s.

Possibility of Season 2

Although Netflix has not yet officially announced Season 2, discussions are going on between the show’s producers and cast.

Jake Weary, who plays Ken Buckley, said that he has talked with Williamson about the next season.

“I think it’s ominous to talk about storylines until there’s official approval,” Vieri said.

“I’m a little pessimistic, so I hope we get a Season 2, but until it actually happens, I don’t like to talk about it.”

Williamson’s plans

Kevin Williamson has revealed that he has multiple seasons of “The Waterfront” planned.

“I have a whole second season planned, and to be honest, a third season,” he told ScreenRant.

“I hope I get to tell those stories. It’s a fun show, and I’ve never done anything like this before.”

Season 1 ending

In the final episode of the first season, Grady (Topher Grace) kidnaps Bree (Melissa Benoist) and her son Diller on his boat.

However, Kane and Harlan Buckley manage to rescue them and take down Grady.

But the real twist comes when it’s revealed that the family’s matriarch Bell (Maria Bello) has been making a secret deal with the rival Parker family.

In the final scene of the finale, Emmett Parker addresses her as “boss,” revealing that she, not Harlan, is now the real boss of the Buckley family.

What will happen in season 2?

If season 2 comes, it will see a power struggle within the Buckley family.

According to Williamson, “Bell will now be on the front lines at the beginning of season 2.

It will completely change the dynamics of the family, where they will have to choose sides because the family will be a little torn apart.”

Also, the Parker family will play a big role next season. Williamson says they will be “even more complicated than the Buckleys and even more dangerous than Grady.”

Cast

If the show does return, main cast members like McElhaney, Bello, Viary, and Benoist are expected to return.

However, the chances for Grace’s character are slim, as she takes two bullets to her face and falls into the ocean.

Right now the first season of “The Waterfront” is available for streaming on Netflix.
