It was incredibly moving to see Hayley Erbert Hough make her ballroom return. Hayley, the wife of Dancing with the Stars judge Derek Hough, is back for the first time since her emergency craniectomy last December 2023. And her happy hubby praised her ballroom comeback as a miracle.

The pair took the stage together on the October 15 episode of DWTS. They danced together to Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” on Dedication Night. The performance was touching and poignant and a beautiful celebration of their love and their joy at being back on the dance floor together.

Before Derek and Hayley took to the stage, Derek shared a look back at their bittersweet journey. He recalled the day everything changed for them after tying the knot in August 2023. The couple were on the final leg of the Symphony of Dance tour after DWTS 32 and everything came to a “screeching halt” in the worst way.

Derek recalled how he was on stage and Hayley was supposed to come out. Instead, the stage manager came out and said she wasn’t coming because she was having full seizures and “essentially dying,” Derek recalled. “It’s really hard to even put into words other than just pure fear.”

Hayley was rushed to the hospital and needed to have surgery due to a severe brain bleed. Derek recalled being eternally grateful and relieved that when she awoke, she remembered him. “She was my wife,” Derek said. “And then the journey began. I was so impressed by her strength. She’s my beautiful miracle.”

Hayley said she was stubborn and pushed herself to not only walk but dance again. The two then took to the floor in an emotional performance to rousing applause.

After the dance, Derek gushed, “This dance is just a moment for us to be together on stage doing what we love. The fact that we’re able to dance again is nothing short of a miracle.”

Kristin Cavallari Thinks Britney Spears and Kanye West Have Been Cloned

Conspiracy theories are entertaining, but only to a point. During the COVID-19 pandemic, questioning science and career-dedicated practitioners became the norm. Our current political landscapes have only heightened these hot takes, leaving our country incredibly divided and, to be blunt, angry and argumentative as hell. Now, Kristin Cavallari is entering this chat, so, ugh. Via her massive platform, Kristin has just revealed that she believes the current public-facing Britney Spears and Kanye West are clones, which, what?

According to Kristin Cavallari, Britney Spears and Kayne West have been cloned

Kristin has a podcast called Let’s Be Honest. During a recent episode, she and her BFF, Justin Anderson, began discussing their opinions about natural health options. They then transitioned into conspiracy theories, which Kristen admits she believes.

“I believe everything. Do you want to know my favorite? I believe this, you guys. I wholeheartedly believe what I’m about to say: I think there are clones, okay? And I think Kanye is a clone,” Kristin began, making me say, eh, what now?

According to Kristin, “the Illuminati [and] the cabal … did not like” how Kayne used to call “a lot of people” out publically. “He said, ‘If I go away and I come back and I look different, that is not me,’” Kristin reiterated, referencing a since-deleted tweet from the ever-odd stylings of Kayne.

“What the f*ck happened? He was gone. He gone! ‘Member he fell off the face of the Earth for a little while? Look at him. Compare old photos of him. It’s not the same f*cking person. It’s not,” Kristin expressed, rather enthusiastically.

Oh. That lovely, deserving of-all-the-nice-things woman, who loves to twirl around on Instagram while hurting NO ONE, well, she is not Britney, b*tch, either. “That’s not Britney Spears. Go [and] look at [her] photos! That’s not Britney Spears,” Kristen added.

Cue Justin, noting that he has worked as a hairstylist for Jamie Lynn Spears. “I’ve done her hair a bunch of times. She would tell me,” he quipped, trying his best to bring this conversation back into a non-QAnon-like landing place.

Laughing, Kristin then pleaded, “Don’t cancel me, Hollywood! Let me have my podcast.”

I laughed. But no. Godspeed, Kristin (and society).

TELL US – IS KRISTIN ONTO SOMETHING? COULD KAYNE AND BRITNEY BE CLONES? OR NEH, NOPE, NEVER, WITH A MASSIVE SIDE OF WTF?

Love Is Blind’s Hannah Jiles Responds to Viewer Fury About How She Treats Nick Dorka

We’ve endured plenty of cringe-inducing moments so far on Season 7 of Love Is Blind, but one couple that has been particularly difficult to watch is Hannah Jiles and Nick Dorka. When they came out of the pods, it was unclear if she was even into him. Once they returned to Washington D.C., she criticized him for his living arrangement. It was brutal.

As the season heads towards its conclusion, fans of the show have been critical of Hannah’s attitude. Some folks really don’t approve of the way she talks to Nick, but she recently opened up about how the feedback has shifted her perspective. She’s listening and learning.

Love Is Blind Season 7 update: Hannah Jiles is rolling with the feedback

In a recent interview on The Viall Files podcast, Hannah opened up about what it’s been like watching herself on Season 7 of Love is Blind. She said she “learned a lot” seeing herself on TV.

“For example, I am a very direct person. I know that but I think my delivery is rough — and delivery is everything,” she confessed.

Of course, directness is important on this show because you have to figure out if your mystery partner has marriage potential. You never know who is hiding a criminal history, and Hannah admitted that the pressure influenced her behavior. However, she said that watching it all back felt eye-opening.

“When you can see it you’re like, ‘Gosh that was really harsh.’ So I’ve learned to be kinder [and] work on my delivery,” Hannah shared. “Sometimes just because it’s the truth and it’s what you’re feeling doesn’t mean that you have to say it out loud. Maybe think about it, think about the delivery, be a little softer.”

According to Hannah, the whole experience has been transformative because it forced her to look more closely at what she wants from her partner. In the future, she’s hoping more people will call her out on her delivery. Is Nick going to be involved in that future? That’s still to be determined.

Love is Blind Season 7 is streaming on Netflix, and new episodes drop on Wednesdays.

TELL US – WERE YOU SURPRISED AT HOW HANNAH COMMUNICATED WITH NICK? DO YOU THINK THEIR RELATIONSHIP WILL LAST?

Picture it: Beverly Hills, 1989. You’re walking down the Beverly Hills High School hallway, and you look to your left. You see Reza Farahan and Mercedes Javid, years before they became the stars of Shahs of Sunset. Then, you look to the right, and you see the Menendez Brothers! Scary, right?

This might sound like fiction, but for some Los Angelenos, it was a reality! That high school was packed with future pop culture icons, and a TikToker recently stumbled across a yearbook that revealed all of the unexpected connections.

Thanks to Ryan Murphy’s Netflix series. Monsters, there’s a renewed conversation around the Menendez Brothers. Some people think Ryan’s adaptation seemed offensive. Others believe they should be freed. We’re just here to talk about the surprising Bravo connection.

In a viral TikTok, a girl flipped through her mom’s yearbook from Beverly Hills in the 1980s, which revealed her mom was classmates with Erik and Lyle Menendez. After the viral video, she did a follow-up video revealing some of the other famous faces in the yearbook.

“Omg, what was in the water in Beverly Hills at that time?” asked one viewer, which is a valid question.

The video then showed snaps of MJ and Reza in high school, during a time when they may or may not have been hooking up. Hilariously, Reza’s cocky attitude was on full display way back then, too. On one page of the yearbook, Reza was asked, “If you were on a tabloid cover, what would the headline say?”

Reza answered, “Playgirl centerfold wins the lottery.”

Ironically, Reza has gone on to be featured in many tabloids thanks to his years of messy behavior on reality TV. However, that all pales in comparison to what wound up happening to some of their other classmates. In addition to the Mendendez Brothers, MJ and Reza also went to high school with Monica Lewinsky. Can you imagine that high school reunion?

Shahs of Sunset is currently streaming on Peacock.

TELL US – ARE YOU SURPRISED TO LEARN THAT MJ AND REZA WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL WITH THE MENDENDEZ BROTHERS? DID YOU HAVE ANY NOTEWORTHY CLASSMATES IN HIGH SCHOOL?
