'DWTS' Season 1 Ended With a Rematch: Revisiting the Finale Twist

Image
Dancing With the Stars has given Us plenty of unexpected twists in the last 20 years , but perhaps none as surprising as in the very first season. When the ballroom dance competition premiered on ABC in 2005, there were only six couples vying for the mirrorball trophy in as many episodes. Bachelorette Trista Sutter was paired with Louis van Amstel , boxer Evander Holyfield danced with Edyta Śliwińska , supermodel Rachel Hunter with pro Jonathan Roberts and New Kids on the Block singer Joey McIntyre shared the stage with Ashly DelGrosso . As the series climbed to the top of the summer ratings, actor John O’Hurley and pro Charlotte Jørgensen faced off against General Hospital ‘s Kelly Monaco and pro Alec Mazo in the finale. Monaco, now 49, and Mazo, now 47, were ultimately crowned the winners despite receiving lower scores than the runners-up throughout the season. It’s a debate that has only gotten more heated among DWTS viewers each year: What holds more weight, the...

Biggest Differences Between Peacock's ‘All Her Fault’ Show and the Book

Image
Peacock’s All Her Fault is a mysterious and fast-paced mystery series — but how does the TV adaptation compare to the original book? Based on a novel by Andrea Mara , All Her Fault follows a mother named Marissa ( Sarah Snook ) whose son, Milo, disappears from his first playdate. The search for Marissa’s child uncovers secrets about those closest to her, with everyone becoming a suspect in the kidnapping. The series, which premiered in November 2025, captured our attention — as did the revelation that not all events on screen occurred on the page. Stars Abby Elliott and Daniel Monks spoke exclusively to Us Weekly about making changes for the sake of the show. “For me with the novel, I started reading, and their Brian seemed unrecognizable from the one that Megan had written,” Monks, who plays Brian, noted. “So, I was like, ‘I think that needs to wait for later so I can focus on the scripts.'” Highly Anticipated Book Releases of 2025: Taylor Jenkins Reid and More Ell...

Who Should Play Andrew on Season 2 of 'The Neighborhood' Spinoff 'Crutch'?

Image
Andrew is such a major topic on Paramount+’s Crutch — but who should play the mysterious character? Crutch , which premiered on Monday, November 3, introduced Tracy Morgan as a widower whose empty-nest plans get disrupted when his son ( Jermaine Fowler ) and daughter ( Adrianna Mitchell ) move back in and force him to adjust to his new normal. Jamilah’s (Mitchell) move back home came amid a separation from her husband, Andrew, who went to rehab for a gambling addiction. At the end of season 1, Jamilah was making plans to remain in New York when she received divorce papers from Andrew — after he remained off screen the entire time. “For some reason I thought Bill Skarsgård would be hilarious as your ex-husband,” Fowler, 37, told Mitchell, 35, during a joint interview with their costar Kecia Lewis for Us Weekly . “I looked at their kids and I go, ‘These are the sweetest kids.’ So their dad — I know we portray him as a bit of a jackass but the kids are great so we all got our iss...

Want to Smell Like Hailey Bieber? Grab Her Fave Unisex Perfume

Hailey Bieber may be known for her clean girl aesthetic, but one of her favorite perfumes is the antithesis of the trend. Although most of the Rhode founder’s perfume collection consists of soft, girly fragrances, Bond No.9 West Side couldn’t be any more different, which is one of the reasons why it’s a winning scent for any and everyone. Bond No.9 West Side feels like a full-bodied, melodious symphony that’s layered, striking, and unlike most perfumes. “I like it because it’s not a super girly scent ,” Bieber previously told Harper’s Bazaar of the unisex perfume. The fragrance beautifully plays upon light and dark energies. The delicate opening is reminiscent of a springtime bouquet with hints of rose, ylang-ylang and peony. The dry down brings a sultrier aura to the forefront thanks to a mix of sandalwood, vanilla, amber and deep musks. Get it Get Bond No.9 West Side Perfume at Bond No. 9! This truly is one of those scents that works for men and women . In fact, Bieber sto...

Gwyneth Paltrow's $725 Cashmere Sweater Has a $28 Twin

Last month, Gwyneth Paltrow dropped a mirror selfie that had Us immediately obsessed. Paltrow sported an effortless camel-colored sweater  and dark nails. The look was cozy yet refined, giving peak ‘rich mom’ energy. After some snooping, it appears that the sweater in question comes from the brand Gwyn (Paltrow’s own line) and retails for a staggering $725 — ouch . Although it’s made in Italy from 100% cashmere, it’s far too pricey for most of Us . Naturally, we found an $28 version on Amazon that mirrors Paltrow’s effortless rich mom style. See it! Get the Anrabess Polo V-Neck Long-Sleeve Sweater for $28 (was $30) at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication but are subject to change. You can choose from 14 different colors, but we think the most similar to Paltrow’s is the shade ‘almond.’ Reviewers love the quality of this lookalike, saying it’s well-made and great for layering during the chillier months. In a nod to Paltrow, pair yours wit...

'FBI' Spinoff 'CIA' Faces Possible Recasting, Crew Exits: Changes Explained

Image
CBS’ hit FBI series is planning to expand with its upcoming offshoot CIA , which has been dealing with multiple exits and a possible recasting. FBI debuted on CBS in 2019 and follows the agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in New York City. The network followed that up with FBI: Most Wanted , which aired from 2020 to 2025, about the work of the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Fugitive Task Force. There was also the FBI: International spinoff about the International Fly Team that ran for four seasons before concluding in 2025. In April 2025, CBS gave CIA a straight-to-series order starring Tom Ellis and Nick Gehlfuss . According to the official synopsis, CIA centers on “two unlikely partners — a fast-talking, rule-breaking loose cannon CIA case officer and a by-the-book, seasoned and smart FBI agent who believes in the rule of law.” The description continued: “When this odd couple are assigned to work out of CIA’s New York Station, they must learn to work toge...

A Guide to the Biggest Young Adult Book Releases Wrapping Up 2025

Image
Young adult novels are in for the end of 2025 — just ask BookTok. Maybe you preordered the next Lightlark novel, Crowntide , eons ago — or have never even heard of author Alex Aster (who’s great, by the way). But there are several YA book series on Us Weekly ’s ever-growing TBR pile, and while we’re sad that some of them are coming to an end, it just wouldn’t be fair to gatekeep these titles. Newbies, you can start at the beginning of these series, and fans, consider this your alert for new releases!

Jana Kramer Teases Potential Role on Season 2 of 'The Hunting Wives'

Image
Jana Kramer didn’t get her dream role on the first season of The Hunting Wives — but she might have another shot in season 2. “I was devastated [when I didn’t get cast in season 1],” Kramer, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly while promoting her new holiday film, The Christmas Ring. “The amount of times that an actor gets told no in auditions is so much. I’m used to that. But then you get that close and you get pinned for something and you test for it [but] it is between you and two other girls — when you get that call that it’s not you, it crushes you.” Kramer had a feeling that The Hunting Wives would blow up. “I knew it was going to be a big show,” she noted. “And there’s a lot of people too that ask, ‘Why would you want to do that show when you talk about your faith and this and that and the other?’ One of my favorite and most iconic roles was Alex Dupre on One Tree Hill because she was wild and she was crazy. I didn’t relate to her but I got to have fun.” Which 'Huntin...

All the Best Celebrity Costumes at Heidi Klum's 2025 Halloween Party

It’s the spookiest time of the year — Heidi Klum ’s 24th annual Halloween party. The German supermodel held her festive bash at New York City’s Hard Rock Hotel on Friday, October, 31, where she came dressed as a scary version of Medusa . (The fictional monster, according to Greek mythology, can turn men to stone with just one withering glance.) “Everything is hand-painted,” Klum told E! News of her costume. “About 15 people have been working on this, and I think they did a fantastic job. I’ve been thinking about Medusa for quite some time because I’ve seen over the years obviously many, many Medusas, and I thought, ‘You know, one day I’m going to try my own.’ I really wanted to have snakes that were moving, a super-ugly, super-scary face, really ugly teeth, and to be like a really long rattlesnake.” Klum’s husband, Tom Kaulitz , expertly complemented his wife’s outfit and went as a stone sculpture of a man. “This year wasn’t that difficult, but sometimes it is,” he quipped to...

1000-Lb. Sisters’ Amy Slaton Marries Boyfriend Brian Lovvorn on Halloween

Image
1,000-Lb. Sisters star Amy Slaton  and her boyfriend, Brian Lovvorn , have tied the knot in a spooky Halloween ceremony. “My wedding is a dream finally coming true,” Slaton, 38, told People in an interview published on Friday, October 31. “I’m getting my happily ever after!” Slaton and Lovvorn exchanged vows on Friday at Talbott Tavern in Bardstown, Kentucky, which has long been rumored to be haunted. The venue’s sordid history, however, wasn’t an issue for the couple, who got engaged late last year at a haunted house. “I deeply cherished the journey of wedding planning, embracing the art and location hunting, but selecting bridesmaids and groomsmen proved to be a profound challenge,” Slaton told the outlet about organizing her Victorian-themed wedding. “I intuitively knew that my extraordinary friend Ollisha [Davis] would graciously accept the esteemed honor of being my maid of honor, even before I extended the heartfelt invitation.” ‘1000-Lb.

Image
Roman is such a hot topic on ABC’s High Potential — but who should play the mysterious character? High Potential , which premiered in September 2024, follows a high-potential intellectual named Morgan ( Kaitlin Olson ) who teams up with the LAPD to help solve murders. The season 1 finale confirmed that Morgan’s ex Roman was still alive after going missing for more than a decade. The only information Morgan — and all of Us — have is that her ex worked as an FBI informant and doesn’t trust the LAPD. “On set we would all talk about [who we think could play Roman]. I think Jesse Williams would be cool,” Amirah J exclusively told Us Weekly about her potential onscreen father. “We said Michael Ealy. Whoever they cast is going to be great. I’m just excited to see who it is.” Judy Reyes also weighed in on the possible casting, throwing Michael B. Jordan’s name out there. While executive producer and showrunner Todd Harthan previously teased a “deepening mystery” when it came to Ro...
