La Brea season two is about to get steamy. The romance between characters Eve Harris (Natalie Zea) and Levi Delgado (Nicholas Gonzalez) is getting more serious on the hit NBC series' sophomore...Former Bachelor Nick Viall is criticizing singer Adam Levine, who is accused of cheating on his pregnant wife of 8 years, Behati Prinsloo, with model Sumner Stroh. Adam is denying the allegations.
“Alright, some quick thoughts,” Nick said in a TikTok video. “One, and the most important one, is that the only victim here is Behati, Adam’s wife. Like she doesn’t deserve this.”
Nick continued, “Two, is that the only people responsible for protecting a relationship are the people in the relationship. If there was an affair here, it was because Adam chose to have an affair, not because this girl was a willing participant. If it wasn’t going to be her, it would’ve been someone else.”
On Monday, Sumner posted a video claiming the Maroon 5 frontman had “manipulated” her into having an affair with him, as reported by Page Six.
Sumner claimed that the alleged “physical” affair took place “[last year” when she “graduated college in 2021.”
Adam is denying the allegations, claiming that while he may have “crossed a line” flirting with the model online, they never met in person.
“I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner,” Adam wrote in an Instagram statement.
“I did not have an affair, nevertheless, I crossed the line during a regrettable period of my life. In certain instances it became inappropriate. I have addressed that and taken proactive steps to remedy this with my family.”
The former judge on The Voice — who has previously said he doesn’t believe monogamy is natural — went on to say he takes “full responsibility” for his actions, as he and his family “will get through it together.”
Reportedly, two other women have since made videos exposing flirtatious messages with the “She Will Be Loved” singer.
Although Behati, who is currently expecting the couple’s third child, is reportedly “very upset” by the claims, she and Adam, who married in 2014, are showing a united front.
The couple was all smiles last week while picking up their young daughters, Gio Grace, 4, and Dusty Rose, 5, from school.
Sounds like “rock star” Adam thought he had “Moves Like Jagger,” but it was really more about his “Cheatin’ Heart.”

Lesley Beador is marking herself safe from her reported divorce filing with David Beador. And that’s according to…herself.
Lesley took to her Instagram stories to re-write the narrative that she and David were calling it quits. She shared a picture of herself wrapped around David with a message that read, “My husband filed a request for dismissal a few days ago. Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.” The post was shared by the famous Housewives parody account, @donngunvalson.
To ensure her followers returned to their regular programming, Lesley made sure to tag herself in the post three times. I’ve quite literally never seen anything like it. And speaking of things yet to be seen, Page Six is reporting that no such dismissal has been filed.
According to the outlet, a public information officer for the Superior Court of California in Orange County revealed that there hasn’t been any request to dismiss the divorce filing “at this time.” Awkward! The spokesperson verified that there was no request in the queue for filing. It was also reported that, according to the online records, there is no evidence for a dismissal request in the case docket.
David filed for divorce in recent weeks citing “irreconcilable differences” as the reason. David seemed to waste no time, filing his date of separation as the same day he was filing for divorce (September 15th, to be exact.) It was reported at the time that David is seeking joint physical and legal custody of his 19-month-old daughter, Anna Love Beador, who he shares with Lesley.
As far as spousal support, David is rumored to be disinterested in paying. No shock there. It’s been additionally reported that David and Lesley did sign a prenuptial agreement in the days leading up to their October 2020 wedding.

Dancing with the Stars is back for Season 31. The show has a new home on Disney+ and a new co-host. Former contestant and mirror ball champion Alfonso Ribeiro is joining Tyra Banks as a co-host this season. Having Alfonso conducting interviews in the sky box just feels right.
And pro Mark Ballas, who had been absent from the DWTS ballroom for five years, is back, baby! Mark is dancing with TikTok sensation Charli D’Amelio. Charli is competing against her mother, Heidi D’Amelio, who is partnered with Artem Chigvintsev. A mother-daughter duo competing for the mirror ball is a first for DWTS.
Mark shared his feelings about returning to the show with US Weekly and other reporters after the season premiere. “It felt great. It felt the same but new, fresh [and] nostalgic. … It was a good time,” Mark stated. “It felt really good tonight.”
Charli and Mark nabbed a judges’ score of 32/40 for their sizzling cha-cha. That put them at the top of the leaderboard. Their routine impressed all the judges, including Mark’s good friend, Derek Hough. Derek and Mark competed on the show for years before Derek took a seat at the judges’ table for Season 29.
“You know, Derek and I have been friends since we were 10. Like, we’ve lived together, we went to school together every day,” Mark shared. “Dude used to steal my clothes. Like, we’re friends, you know what I mean? Brothers even.” The dance pro continued, “So it was really cool to be out here and … it was funny seeing him on the judges’ table ’cause I haven’t been here since he’s done that.”
Mark couldn’t help but praise Charli after their first performance. “It’s great to be in the top spot. We weren’t anticipating that,” Mark said. “The only thing we wanted to do was work super hard [and] maximize our rehearsal time and just do the best that we possibly could. And we had a good night tonight.” He added, “So I’m proud of [Charli].”
Charli “can’t wait to see” what her mother and her partner Artem have planned for the upcoming weeks. “I’m really excited. We all talked a little bit during rehearsal, the four of us, [and] it was a great time,” Charli remarked.
“I have the best partner that I could have asked for, and I’m really proud of what we did today. … I’m excited to see what everyone else does,” she commented.
Mark, who starred in Jersey Boys on Broadway, made his debut on DWTS during Season 5 with partner Sabrina Bryan. He appeared as a pro for 19 seasons. Mark has danced with celebrity partners Kristin Cavallari of The Hills, Kim Kardashian of Keeping up with The Kardashians fame, Olympian Aly Raisman, and actress Candace Cameron Bure.
He went on to achieve mirror ball glory in Season 6 with Kristi Yamaguchi and in Season 8 with Shawn Johnson. Mark, who is from Texas, left DWTS after Season 25 wrapped. I’ve missed Derek and Mark’s bromance. I also love Mark’s creative choreography, so I’m happy to see him back in the ballroom!

It’s been a few years since the former Big Brother houseguests got together to celebrate the end of a season. Obviously, the global pandemic made many people more cautious and responsible. This meant less celebrating of big events. However, some Big Brother alumni got together on Sunday to celebrate the end of Big Brother 24 and Taylor Hale‘s historic victory. With many having work the next day, it wasn’t a whole week of celebrating. Nevertheless, there were lots of parties to honor the end of Big Brother 24.
Many even kept the celebrations going strong pass the weekend. From parties with fans to visits to Celebrity Big Brother runner-up Todrick Hall‘s house, the houseguest made it a night to remember. As part of the season wrap-up, we gathered some of the best photos from the Big Brother 24 finale celebrations.
Check them out below.

Week two of Dancing With the Stars had the contestants all shook up. The Sept. 26 episode of the ballroom competition welcomed viewers to Elvis Night, which had some celebrities and their partners...
Don't miss new episodes of E!'s digital series DRIVE! every Monday at 8 a.m. PT on E! News' YouTube Channel and E! Online. But for as much as she's accomplished over the years, there's one goal...
Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow's relationship is still as icy as the Utah snow. Everything changed for the former BFFs on the last season of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after Lisa was...Resiliency. That is the word that my fellow Michigander and former pageant queen, Taylor Hale, used to describe her season of Big Brother. I’ll use a few others to describe it: Epic. Moving. Powerful. Transcendent. Important. Historic.
Taylor Hale is the winner of Big Brother 24. Read that over and over again. Taylor did it. She won Big Brother! She actually did it.
There’s simply no question that Taylor‘s incredible journey this season in the Big Brother House was the best, most rewarding underdog story in Big Brother history. But I’d argue that it was more than that. Her season, culminating in her two-minute long final speech to the jury, will go down as an important moment in American Television history.
Before I dive in, here are some facts for you:
Hey, that last fact is an important one. Big Brother is known for its cheesy-ness, heck, it’s the foundation of the show and quite often it leans into the eye-rolls quite heavily. The cheese is of course part of the charm. We put up with zing-slingin’ robots, ridiculous costum-itards, dorky mental comps (does any other Reality Show expect their contestants to remember exactly what happened on what day over the course of the show?) and outrageously corny physical comps (“hold on to your wiener!” was the main goal of one of tonight’s “all-important” final competitions). We put up with people arguing over stolen muffins, show-mance after show-mance, and production feeding lines like to the contestants like, “Girl, you’re glimmering like a lemon pound cake!”
All too often, Big Brother is also known for how the outside world and all of its problems leak into the Big Brother House. Racism, for example, continues to find its way in despite the physical isolation.
But when the reflection of real world issues does occur – and it occurred as recently as a few weeks ago with Kyle and his “Cookout 2.o” comments and paranoia – it usually displays the ugliest that America has to offer. Heck, this ugliness and the resulting conflicts that it brings are pretty much the basis for nearly all of Reality Television.
Taylor flipped this script. And this is why the story of Taylor Hale on Big Brother is so vital, and so different. Taylor’s response to the ugliness she was shown, her grace and her poise when others tried to keep her down, her positivity and her – yes – resilience, led to a beautiful life lesson for us all. We all finally received something we can use from Reality TV, something we didn’t know we could find in such an unexpected place. I guess Julie Chen-Moonves has been telling us all along, to “expect the unexpected,” but this was unexpected indeed, to be brought to tears by a woman who was simply not going to be denied her moment…a moment that she didn’t ask for necessarily, one that was thrust upon her, but one that she was ready to overcome with dignity and power. It’s not that Reality TV has never offered up such moments, it’s just that these moments are few and far between. Her final speech transcended the game of Big Brother, it delivered something that nobody could have quite possibly seen coming. Taylor persevered, but more than this, she stayed true to herself through it all. She didn’t bend, she didn’t falter, she didn’t fold. “I an not a shield, I’m a sword. I am not a victim I’m a victor.” Her story was every underdog story. And it spoke to female empowerment in a time where such ideals are being challenged in frightening new ways.
It was Maya Angelou who said: “I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it.” That was Taylor Hale.
As it relates to the game, it is only fitting that Taylor was underestimated all the way to the very end. She lost both HOH competitions and yet Monte thought his “big move” was taking out Turner, never expecting that the jury would ever vote for Taylor over him. Traditionally, Monte’s move to take out Turner was a big move. He just never once considered that Taylor was capable of what she would do next. You could tell that Taylor was ready for her moment in the spotlight, a former pageant queen who has a bit of experience putting herself out there for the world to see. Going in to the final round of questions and final speeches, I thought Taylor had a chance to win, but once she began knocking each question out of the park, and then delivering that historic final speech, it would have been a TRAVESTY for Monte to have won at that point. Monte didn’t just lose to Taylor, he got annihilated by her. You could see the shock in his eyes as it was happening, and how he reacted each time Taylor would sit back down. He was just shaking his head. All of his preparation, all of his time spent on what he would say to convince the final jury, didn’t even hold a candle to the magnificent star power illuminating from Taylor.
It wasn’t addressed at Finale, but the jury implied that Monte would have won the game had he chose to sit next to Turner. And while Turner used the word to describe his surprise at getting blindsided by Monte, it was Monte who was ultimately left bamboozled. He never saw Taylor coming. No one did, all season. And yet, she persevered.
In a speech that will go down as a top Reality TV moment of all-time, I also loved, loved, loved, loved how Taylor redefined a clichéd Big Brother phrase. Each and every season, we hear over and over the phrase “blood on my hands.” Most of the time, it’s “I don’t want to get any blood on my hands” or “so-and-so has the most blood on their hands,” used to describe someone who is responsible for getting someone else out of the game. Taylor gave this phrase perspective. “Monte may have had more blood on his hands than me,” Taylor told the jury. “But I have bled out the most in this game. I have bandaged myself up every single time and gotten up and continued to fight, because like so many other women in the world, that is what we have to continue to do to get to the end. We have to take care of ourselves and put ourselves first while also looking out for the ones that are behind us.”
There’s really nothing more that can be said that does justice to Taylor‘s final words, but I felt like I was watching history, and I also feel like I need to say “Thank You.” Thank you to Taylor, thanks for what you provided us with and the words you spoke tonight. As a massive Survivor fan, I remember the iconic “snake vs. rat” speech by Sue Hawk during Survivor’s first season, and I remember knowing as it was happening that it was something that would be a historic Reality TV moment. After tonight’s BB24 Finale, I find myself searching through my thoughts, my memories, for other “big” or “important” moments that I remember watching play out live on my TV as I watched a Reality TV show. I can think of a few others. But none hit me the way that Taylor’s speech did. I think because I’ve never been left to feel this GOOD. So positive. So hopeful.
One season removed from The Cookout alliance and the show’s first Black winner (Xavier Prather), Big Brother 24 produces its first Black female winner, Taylor Hale. For real, where can the show go from here? It’s impossible for it go up, right? Well, as they say: Expect the unexpected.
Thanks also to everyone for following along and reading this column this season. Your comments and your support is truly appreciated, and it was a pleasure to recap this amazing season these past few months! I urge you to consider jumping back into Survivor this season, as it just had a very promising start this past week (I’m recapping that as always for this site as well!).
To quote Julie Chen-Moonves, I’ll leave you all with this: Love one another.
