How Just Like Us Is Rachel Bilson? We Put Her to the Test

Image
Rachel Bilson. Rachel Bilson is just like Us — even she gets starstruck by her favorite celebrities. “I ran into Larry David , who is my all-time of everything,” Bilson, 43, exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly . “I got so nervous I started sweating and running from the opposite direction.” Despite being a celebrity herself, The O.C. alum has never been a fan of asking her fellow stars for selfies. “Even before I was an actress, I was just sort of nervous about that,” she explains. “As a kid, I would see actors I know out [at] a restaurant and my mom was like, ‘Do you want to take a picture with them?’ And I never did.” While Bilson doesn’t enjoy asking celebs for impromptu photographs, she does enjoy keeping her family safe with the help of SimpliSafe’s Active Guard Outdoor Protection. “I really like things that are easy to use and that I can do from my phone because I always have my phone in my hand,” she tells Us . “I was just really excited about it because

'Outlander' Cast Teases ‘Emotional’ Reunions in Season 7B: Who to Expect

Image
The Droughtlander is over! Outlander returns to Scotland, birthplace of the Frasers’ epic love story when the Starz series finally returns for the first time since August 2023. “You see how emotional it is for Jamie,” Sam Heughan says in the new issue of Us Weekly. “He’s an honorable man. He loves his family and his sister, and 
he promised he’d bring [his nephew] Young Ian home.” Jamie (Heughan) and Claire Fraser ( Caitríona Balfe ) left Scotland five years ago, in season 3. (After a Jamaican detour, they’ve been adventuring in the New World: America!) “They’re older, time has passed — there’s a lot to deal with,” Heughan continues. “There are [also] relationships Jamie hasn’t put to rest.” From Scotland With Love! What the ‘Outlander’ Cast Looks Like in Real Life At Lallybroch estate, Young Ian ( John Bell ) is indeed reunited with his parents, but his mother looks a little different as actress Kristin Atherton takes over the role of Jenny from Laura Donnelly. “There’s ce

The Battle for Attention in Hollywood Is Getting Really Dirty, Us Declares

Image
Sabrina Carpenter, Katy Perry In a world where nothing is off-limits, how do Hollywood stars take the attention back from internet personalities? By sharing some major TMI moments, of course. Living in the age of social media has allowed showbiz’s Gen Z newcomers to experience a quick rise to the top … and they’re not going anywhere. While Us is totally on board with their Just Like Us (see what we did there?) moments, this new class of standouts has led traditional celebs to make bolder choices with what they share in the public eye — especially when it comes to sex. But this begs the question: Are A-listers crossing a line to keep the attention on them, or are they fulfilling the world’s desire for an aspirational relationship? Us will be the judge. We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, talking about S-E-X is no longer as taboo as it used to be, and this is something we can all agree on. Katy Perry , for one, had no qualms when revealing on a September “Call Her Daddy” po

Which Celebs Appear in the ‘Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story’ Trailer?

Image
Hallmark’s Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story is a rom-com for the ages, combining football superstitions with romantic gestures — and lots of celebrity cameos . In the network’s official trailer for the movie, which dropped on Thursday, November 14, fans got to see Jenna Bush Hager , Donna Kelce and Andy Reid make their Hallmark debut — not to mention the real-life Kansas City Chiefs players who pop in and out of the movie. “Ladies and gentlemen please turn your attention to midfield,” Bush Hager, 42, says in the trailer, holding a Chiefs microphone while standing beside three players on the field.

Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen Test Their Spousal Knowledge With Us

Image
Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen make working alongside your spouse look like a piece of cake — or maybe a bag of popcorn — on their new series, Dinner and a Movie , but they admit it isn’t always as easy as it looks. “It’s always tricky working with your spouse because he’s going to say things to me that he would never say to another actress or cohost, [he] just couldn’t get away with it,” Mollen, 45, said of Biggs, 46, whom she married in 2008, in the latest edition of Us Weekly , on newsstands now. “Like what? ‘Show me your boobs?’” Biggs joked back to his wife, to which Mollen replied: “‘Show me your boobs.’ ‘Suck my d—k.’ I’m just kidding. But you can say to your wife, ‘No, Jenny, don’t do it that way,’ and it can be helpful. … It is more casual, which can be amazing, but it can also lead to a lot of couples’ therapy sessions.” The TBS show — a reboot of the series of the same name which ran from 1995 to 2011 — features the couple as they revisit the films of their youth along w

'Emily in Paris' Will Go on 'With or Without' Lucas Bravo: Source

Image
Lily Collins, Lucas Bravo. Lucas Bravo ‘s future on Emily in Paris is still undecided after his surprising comments about the show, a source exclusively reveals in the newest issue of Us Weekly . “The show will go on with or without Lucas,” the insider adds. “The show is Emily in Paris — not Gabriel in Paris.” According to the source, “Everyone is so upset about the remarks he made. There is going to be a lot of tension.” The Netflix series, which premiered in 2020, follows Emily’s ( Lily Collins ) journey after moving to France from the U.S. for a new job. Emily subsequently finds herself caught in a love triangle between Gabriel (Bravo) and Alfie ( Lucien Laviscount ). Everything Lucas Bravo Has Said About 'Emily in Paris' Season 5 Season 4 premiered earlier this year and showed Emily and Gabriel’s attempt at romance ending as quickly as it started. Emily ultimately ended the season in Rome with new love interest Marcello ( Eugenio Franceschini ). Last month, Bra

Image
A pregnant Princess Beatrice has stepped in for King Charles III at a recent event. Beatrice, 36, was spotted attending The King’s Foundation’s Future Textiles exhibition in London on Tuesday, November 12, and met with the foundation’s executives and several students. The royal family member kept it casual while showing off her baby bump in a black dress paired with a trench coat. This is the first time that Beatrice has been associated with this organization, according to Hello! Magazine . While Charles, 75, himself was not in attendance, his mark on the foundation was evident. It’s been nearly a decade since Charles launched the Future Textiles program at Dumfries House in Scotland to “help address a skills gap within the UK fashion and textiles industry through education and training.” This is just one initiative he has taken with The King’s Foundation (formerly The Prince’s Foundation), which was formed in 1990. This is not the first time that Beatrice has stepped in for the

Jennifer Lopez Stuns in Daring Gown at ‘Wicked’ Premiere

Image
Jennifer Lopez Jennifer Lopez was every bit the showstopper as she attended the Wicked premiere in Los Angeles on Saturday, November 9. The actress and singer , 55, looked amazing in a daring beaded Zuhair Murad gown, which featured a halter top neck, high slit and cutouts at the waist.

She smiled on the red carpet, posing for photographers and waving to fans before making her way into the historic Dorothy Chandler Pavilion.

Andrea Bocelli’s Pre-Show Ritual Includes Playing 1 Specific Instrument

Image
Andrea Bocelli Andrea Bocelli hasn’t shown any signs of slowing down in his music career — and one particular trick of his has kept his voice in tip-top condition. “I often play the flute, my trusted companion on every trip I take,” the tenor, 66, exclusively reveals in the latest issue of Us Weekly about the must-have item in his dressing room. “It’s an instrument I enjoy for my own pleasure, but it also helps activate the vocal tract and exercise the diaphragm without exerting the vocal cords.” Bocelli got his start performing in piano bars. He rose to fame in 1994 after winning in the newcomers’ category at the 44th Sanremo Music Festival. Since then, Bocelli has recorded 17 studio albums and five collaborative albums. He’s sold more than 80 million records worldwide and received six Grammy nominations . While Bocelli has an extensive music catalog , the classical singer admits that there’s one song of his that is extra special to him. Andrea Bocelli Reacts to Kim's Cla

Image
Eric Winter has a few hot takes when it comes to his ideal Thanksgiving menu. “Hate’s a strong word, but I’m not team turkey,” Winter, 48, exclusively admits in the latest issue of Us Weekly . “I’d rather have a chicken or something else that’s there. If it’s going to be turkey, it’s going to be dark meat, or, like, crunchy skin [on the turkey]. Just not a big turkey guy.” While The Rookie star isn’t a big fan of turkey, his favorite Thanksgiving food is one of the holiday’s most classic dishes. “[I love] the sweet potato, sort of, casserole with marshmallows on top,” she shares. “Sweet and creamy and just cinnamon — all the right flavors.” Also high on his list is none other than pumpkin pie with whipped cream on top. “It just symbolizes the time,” he says. “It feels good. It feels right. It’s very fall and I love the flavor.” Meghan Markle, Taylor Swift and More Reveal Their Favorite Thanksgiving Foods Since tying the knot with Roselyn Sánchez in 2008, Winter’s Thanksgiving

Harry Potter’s James and Oliver Phelps Dish on ‘Wizards of Baking’

Image
From Nosebleed Nougat to Puking Pastilles, the confections created by Harry Potter ’s Fred and George Weasley had some nasty side effects. But James and Oliver Phelps , who played the roles in all eight films, deliver only deliciousness as hosts of the new Food Network series, Harry Potter: Wizards of Baking .

Tiffany Haddish Says a Fan Randomly Auditioned for Her on Ring Camera

Image
Like many celebrities, Tiffany Haddish experiences some crazy fan encounters from time to time. But the actress says one particular interaction stands out among the rest. “My craziest fan encounter was when a woman drove all the way from Chicago, came to my house and started rapping into my Ring camera,” Haddish, 44, reveals exclusively in her 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly , on newsstands now. “She said God told her that I could make her music career happen.” While, unsurprisingly, that impromptu front door audition didn’t land the fan her big break, Haddish approached the situation with her characteristic sense of humor. “I almost posted it, and then I was like, ‘No, because it’s going to bring more people to my Ring camera,’” she joked. Tiffany Haddish's Ups and Downs Through the Years With a career in comedy spanning decades, Haddish cites Richard Pryor and Eddie Murphy as two of her role models in the industry. She discusses

I’m in a place of healing, my energy levels are great,” Van Der Beek, 47, told People in an interview published on Friday, November 8. “When I’ve been out of the woods completely for what feels like a responsible amount of time, I’ll circle back and let you know. I have a lot to live for.” Van Der Beek publicly confirmed his diagnosis earlier this month after privately undergoing an undisclosed form of treatment. “If you’ve heard about it, I’ve probably touched on it,” the Dawson’s Creek alum told People . “This has been a crash course in the mastery of mind, body, and spirit.
