Image
Allister Foster/Hallmark Media Aimee Teegarden has fond childhood memories tied to Easter , but that doesn’t mean there wasn’t crying involved each holiday. “Every single Easter, my grandmother would have a big egg hunt for myself, brother and my cousin,” Teegarden, 34, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her latest Hallmark Channel movie, An Easter Bloom . The actress recalled her cousin, who was an only child, taking “her time doing things and being very competitive.” However, her slow and steady approach didn’t help her win. “I would just lap her in the backyard and every year it always ended in tears,” Teegarden confessed, letting out a laugh. “It wasn’t about the candy — I’m not that much of a candy person — but just it was the competitiveness of it.” 15 Easter-Approved Movies Perfect for the Spring Holiday: ‘Hop,’ More Despite the childhood heartbreak, the Hallmark personality said she’s continued the tradition in some way as she has grown. “Every year we kind ...

Bridgerton’s Nicola Coughlan Praises Intimacy Coordinator for Polin Scenes

Outlander , Sex/Life and more TV shows and movies have hired intimacy coordinators to manage sex scenes. “My task early on in the season was No. 1, to check in with them and go, ‘OK, so you’re together this season, how can I help you feel safe?’” Sex/Life intimacy coordinator Casey Hudecki exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2023 . “‘How can I help you protect your relationship as your characters go off and have other relationships? How can I help the actors who are … being their scene partners to feel safe and to feel free even though they know that, you know, Adam and Sarah [are] together?’ So there’s a lot of talking.” Sex/Life — which premiered its first season on Netflix in June 2021 — features plenty of racy, NSFW scenes between stars Sarah Shahi and Adam Demos, who sparked a real-life romance on set. “I think with Adam and Sarah, they feel safe together and they’re very comfortable with each other,” Hudecki explained to Us . “I think in their scenes, they’re free to ha...

Here’s How Beyoncé’s ‘Cowboy Carter’ & ‘Renaissance’ Are Connected

If you thought surprise drops and visual albums were the peak of Beyoncé ‘s powers, think again. With 2022’s Renaissance and her buzzy new Cowboy Carter album, Queen Bey is meticulously rolling out a sprawling trilogy of releases that is sure to leave an indelible mark on popular music.

Image
All it takes is one wear, and something Katie Holmes decides to step out in inspires Us . But if she wears it multiple times? Well, then we simply must have it in our closets. The Dawson’s Creek star proved that celebs are truly just like Us while wearing the popular  Mansur Gavriel Large black leather tote . She’s done everything from walking home from the supermarket lugging a big bag of groceries while pairing the tote with an oversized double-breasted coat, sneakers, a sweater and a pair of jeans — to wearing trousers, a button-up top and sleek loafers while taking the subway with it. Her style is $645, which quite frankly, isn’t obscene for such a high-quality item that will always be on trend. But if it’s way over budget and you must get the look, we found a similar tote for just $40 on Amazon. Say hello to your new everyday favorite!

When Stars Lost Their Virginity

While some celebrities keep their sexual experiences close to their chests, others have no problem kissing and telling about their first times. In 2010, Joe Jonas opened up about losing his virginity at age 20 to Ashley Greene . “I didn’t have any condoms, so I went to our drummer Jack’s room — who was my roommate at the time — and I demolished his room looking for them,” he said in a Reddit AMA at the time. “[I] found them underneath his underwear drawer. When he came home, he thought somebody broke into his room because his whole room was demolished.” The reveal was quite shocking to fans as the Jonas Brothers wore purity rings for years, vowing not to have premarital sex. In 2016, he stated that he didn’t regret sharing that personal experience with the world. “Life’s too short, you know?” the DNCE singer told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “I mean ultimately, I think of myself as an honest guy. There are just those moments in life where you have to be true to yourself and...

Edie Falco Was ‘Intimidated’ by Young Jamie-Lynn Sigler on ‘The Sopranos’

Edie Falco and Jamie-Lynn Sigler Getty Images (2) Edie Falco recalled being “intimidated” by a young Jamie-Lynn Sigler on The Sopranos set. “I saw you as a highly functional type-A young woman. … There was a distance between you and I when we worked,” Falco, 60, recalled during an appearance on Sigler, 42, and Christina Applegate ’s “MeSsy” podcast on Wednesday, March 27. “It was not on purpose.” Falco went on to explain that because Sigler’s “real mom” was present on the HBO show’s set, she never wanted to act like “more than an actress playing your mother.” “But also, you portrayed yourself — yourself, not the character — as so competent,” she continued. “The truth is, when I was a kid in high school, I was a weirdo. I came from a crazy family, and I felt like everybody could tell I was a weirdo, and I would meet girls like you and I was terrified of them.” ‘The Sopranos’ Cast: Where Are They Now? She added: “They just looked like they knew what was going on. They knew h...

Rihanna Daniele Venturelli/WireImage/Getty Images For Rihanna , braids aren’t just a trendy hairstyle. The 36-year-old — who favors the look in the form of cornrows, Fulani braids, goddess braids, knotless braids and Senegalese twists — opened up about the cultural significance of the coiffure and why she and partner ASAP Rocky are passing on their love of the ‘do to their sons, RZA and Riot Rose .  “This is a form of protection of our roots, and a tradition left by our ancestors. … [It] makes us realize where we’ve come from,” Rihanna told Vogue China in her April cover story.  Rihanna was born in Saint Michael, Barbados, and braids are popular among Black American, African and Caribbean cultures. They are commonly referred to as a protective style as braids keep the wearer’s natural hair safe from weather-related damage.

Image
Taylor Swift. Graham Denholm/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management Karma is another record on the pop charts for Taylor Swift . As Swift’s fans across the world prepare for the arrival of her new album, The Tortured Poets Department , the 34-year-old music icon picked up another accolade on the DL. Swift’s “Is It Over Now?,” a new song released last year on 1989 (Taylor’s Version) , hit No. 1 on Billboard ’s Pop Airplay chart last week, giving her an unprecedented 13th chart-topper. Swift displaced Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me,” which had spent five weeks at the top position (while spending nearly five months on the chart). Swift already had the title of artist with the most No. 1’s on the Pop Airplay Chart, but this latest win sees her pulling away from the pack. Rihanna , Katy Perry and Maroon 5 are all tied for second place with 11 No.1’s. Perry, 39, last topped the Pop Airplay chart a decade ago with “Dark Horse,” according to Forbes .

Drake Bell Wants More From Nickelodeon After ‘Empty’ Response to ‘Quiet on Set’

Image
Drake Bell Rich Fury/WireImage Drake Bell is disappointed in Nickelodeon following their “pretty empty” response to the Investigation Discovery documentary, Quiet on Set: The Dark Side of Kids TV , in which he details his sexual abuse by dialogue and acting coach Brian Peck . The Drake & Josh alum, 37, spoke out for the first time since the docuseries’ release in a new episode of “The Sarah Fraser Show” podcast on Friday, March 22, claiming of the kids network: “There’s a very well-tailored response saying, ‘Learning about his trauma,’ because they couldn’t say that they didn’t know about this or what had happened, or anything. So I think that was a really well-tailored response by probably some big attorney in Hollywood.” “I find it pretty empty, their responses,” Bell added, “because, I mean, they still show our shows, they still put our shows on. And I have to pay for my own therapy, I have to figure out what — I mean if there was anything, if there was any truth behind...
