Diner embarrassment
Meg Ryan's children are well aware of their mom's infamous deli scene in "When Harry Met Sally," the hit 1989 rom-com in which Meg's Sally delivers a very public fake climax while dining with Billy Crystal's Harry. ("I'll have what she's having," another patron tells the waiter, pointing at Sally.)
Meg, 61, was asked about the scene in a recent chat with comedy legend Carol Burnett for Interview magazine, revealing that it still comes up all these years later, much to the chagrin of her kids, Jack, 31, and Daisy, 19. "It's funny, my son just called me this morning and he's in New York staying at a hotel that's right across the street from Katz's Deli," Meg said, referencing the iconic eatery where they filmed the scene, doing the take "over and over again," according to the star. "My daughter was here and everybody was on speaker, and they were like, 'Mom, this is a very unique embarrassment,'" Meg continued with a laugh. "He said, 'You know you can go into that deli and there's an arrow pointing down to the table where you shot that scene.' … I wonder if it's the right one."

Sexual assault allegations
Nick Carter is facing his third sexual assault lawsuit after an unnamed woman filed a complaint against the singer in Las Vegas on Aug. 28, People reported. The alleged victim claims the Backstreet Boys star assaulted her multiple times in 2003 when she was 15. woman who claimed he assaulted her at age 15. An attorney for Nick has denied the allegations, which cite stories of an alleged assault on a yacht and claims Nick "knowingly engaged" in "sexual acts" without the woman's consent. The suit also alleges Nick did not use protection, that he gave the woman drugs and alcohol despite knowing she was underage and that she contracted an STI as a result, according to People.
In a denial of the claims, attorney Dale Hayes tells the outlet that when the woman, named only as "A.R." in the suit, "first accused Nick Carter almost two decades ago, authorities listened and thoroughly investigated – and then informed A.R. that her allegations were meritless. And now she's at it yet again. But repeating the same false allegations in a new legal complaint doesn't make them any more true. Nick is looking forward to the evidence being presented and the truth about these malicious schemes coming to light."

Botox reality check
It's been more than a decade since "90210" star Shenae Grimes played high schooler Annie Wilson on The CW spin-off, and she's over being told she's "aged terribly." That comment "…is something I've heard about myself anytime I post a nostalgic clip from my past life as a TEEN actor," Shenae, 33, captioned a clip on Instagram on Aug. 31. "Thing is…I'm just… aging. I'm nearly 34 years old with 2 kids, what the hell do you expect?!"
Addressing the accompanying clip to the "people of the Internet," Shenae says, in part: "I'm going to let you in on a little secret: If you see a woman above the age of 30 and she doesn't look a little bit like this … she's more than likely had something injected into her face." She goes on to assure viewers she's "not shaming anybody for doing it" or "trying to out anybody" who has, adding that she's actually "very curious about" trying injectables herself. "But in the same breath, I think we've gotten so used to seeing people who have had fillers and Botox talking about skincare recommendations and makeup hacks to make you look youthful and perfect and plastic, we've actually started to believe that that's what you can look like without injecting anything into your face," she says.
Finally, she asks everyone to just "be a little bit more transparent" for the sake of those who may think their naturally aging faces look "old" or imperfect.

She's also mom to three kids with ex, Scott Disick, while Travis shares two children and a step-daughter with ex-wife Shanna Moakler.
