As one person put it on X, “This is some Truman show stuff.” Carrey, who announced his retirement in 2022, attended the ceremony honoring his lifetime of cinematic work alongside his partner Min Ah, his daughter Jane and his grandson Jackson. It was his first time in front of the cameras since November 2025, when he inducted Soundgarden into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Selena Gomez loves Benny Blanco from his head to his toes. The Rare Beauty founder shared a touching tribute to her husband one day after his latest project sparked unexpected online discourse about his appearance. “I fall more and more in love with you every day,” she wrote in a Feb. 25 Instagram Stories post alongside a selfie video of herself and Benny repeatedly locking lips, addressing the romantic message to “my love.” Hours earlier, Benny announced the launch of his new Friends Keep Secrets podcast series with pals Lil Dicky and Kristin Batalucco, but the debut episode of the trio’s new media venture resulted in some unlikely commentary after viewers caught a glimpse of the soles of the record producer’s feet covered in black dirt and dust.

Alysa Liu's joyous run to the gold medal in women's figure skating was one of the best stories of the Milan Cortina Olympics and has fans of the newly crowned U.S. superstar wondering what's next. She provided a hint Sunday during the Closing Ceremony of the Milan Cortina Games. During the ceremony's parade of athletes, Liu took a moment to speak with NBC's Andrea Joyce. Joyce asked Liu directly if she wants "to come back for another one," with "another one" presuming to mean an Olympic gold medal. Liu deftly dodged answering the question directly, but made clear that she's not done with competitive figure skating. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

We were rooting for you, Reality Check, we were all rooting for you! But alas, Netflix‘s documentary about the rise and fall of America’s Next Top Model is a rather grueling and self-serious affair which attempts to turn the reality hit that ran for 24 seasons into a cultural war crime. Across three episodes, Reality Check: Inside America’s Next Top Model presents many of the well-known controversies surrounding the reality hit and interviews the show’s oft-apologetic producers and coaches — including Tyra Banks.

But a growing fan theory circulating on social media, dubbed “Conformity Gate,” suggests the ending viewers saw wasn’t the real one. In fact, some believe another episode is coming later this week. In Episode 8, the Hawkins crew devises a final plan to enter the Upside Down, rescue the kidnapped children and defeat Vecna once and for all. Despite major obstacles — including the military discovering and interfering with their mission and Kali’s death — they locate Vecna’s lair deep in the Abyss, inside the Pain Tree, which is revealed to be the Mind Flayer itself. With Eleven entering the Mind Flayer’s body to confront Vecna from within, the rest of the group attacks the monster from the outside. Will taps into the hive mind one last time to save Eleven and help her push Vecna’s body into a massive spike. Joyce delivers the killing blow, chopping off his head with an axe after he “f—ed with the wrong family.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Last episode, on Nov. 18, was Prince Night and the semifinals. Each couple performed two dances to some of the music icon's most legendary hits. The first dance was in a style they had not yet tackled this season, and the other was a repeat style that allowed them to show the judges and audience how far they've come. At the end of the night, "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" star Whitney Leavitt and pro Mark Ballas were sent home in a shocking elimination.

The official summary for All’s Fair reads, “A team of female divorce attorneys leaves a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. Fierce, brilliant and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets and shifting allegiances — both in the courtroom and within their own ranks. “In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game — they change it."
