Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in early February 2022, starting with this news… Sandra Lee made her relationship with her boyfriend (and rumored fiancé!) Ben Youcef Instagram official on Valentine's Day. "So this happened! Ben happened! Love happened! Happiness happened! I was certain it never would again. I was shocked when it did. I swore I would never fall again, trust again, love again or open myself up again. On our one-year anniversary I shall share the story of how we met but until then, my wish for you is that no matter where you are, how old you are or what has happened, you can welcome hope back into your life again. This Valentines I wish you all an abundance of love, laughter, butterflies, long walks, intimate talks, chills, tender kisses, sweet moments and pure joy in the world. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you — and to My Sweet Ben, thank you for making my heart feel whole again, alive again, and in love again," she captioned a slideshow of PDA-packed pics.

On Feb. 15, Ioan Gruffudd filed for a domestic violence restraining order against his estranged wife, Alice Evans. According to People magazine, he claims in legal documents that he told the actress in August 2020 that he was "unhappy" in their relationship but that she "repeatedly told me between August 2020 and our separation on January 1, 2021, that if I left her, she would make false public accusations about me, sell false stories about me to the press, and destroy me and my career." Alleges the "Fantastic Four" alum, "Alice told me verbally multiple times that she would do to me what Amber Heard did to Johnny Depp. Alice threatened to tell people I had abused her and our daughters; she threatened to call the police on me if I did not comply with her demands; she threatened to tell people I am a drug addict and put me in prison; she threatened to write a fake diary that reflected an abused victim, and to have the diary published; and she threatened to destroy my mother. … Alice told me she would win, and everyone would believe her over me." He goes on to claim that his ex has "carried out many of these threats" since they separated in 2021 by writing "many false and harassing" posts about him on social media. He also claims that she sent "hundreds of harassing, abusive and threatening communications by text, voice message, video message" and sent "threatening emails" to his mother. In her response to Ioan's request for a restraining order, Alice writes that she has not "hit, struck, attacked, threatened, assaulted, harassed, followed, stalked, molested, destroyed the personal property of, kept under surveillance, impersonated, blocked the movement of, annoyed by phone or electronic means by repeated contact, or disturbed the peace of either" her estranged husband or his new girlfriend, Bianca Wallace. She adds that she has "no idea what he is going to accuse me of" but that "whatever allegations he is going to make against me are false." She also accuses Ioan of filing for a restraining order "as a ploy to gain some sort of advantage over me in our divorce proceedings."

On Feb. 13, multiple media outlets reported that Matt LeBlanc quietly split from his girlfriend of around six years, "Top Gear" producer Aurora Mulligan, sometime in 2020. "They haven't been together in over a year," a source told MailOnline of the former couple, who connected when the "Friends" alum signed on to host the British car show. The Sun, meanwhile, reported that, according to a source, the duo "struck a clean break," though the breakup is "still very raw." A second source told The Sun, "Matt and Aurora's relationship has run its course. It's all over. It's a huge shame and Matt has taken the news particularly hard, as anyone would. He and Aurora fell for each on 'Top Gear' and although there was a pretty big age gap they were a really great match. But when he announced he was leaving 'Top Gear' and took on other work, it was hard for them. He's mainly based out of Los Angeles and was traveling a lot while Aurora was working in the U.K." Matt's rep later confirmed to Us Weekly that he and the Irish beauty, who's nearly two decades his junior, "are not together but remain good friends."

Is Jonah Hill secretly engaged to his girlfriend, surf instructor and environmental activist Sarah Brady? On Feb. 16, Deux Moi reported that, according to an anonymous source, "An A-list actor who has been away on vacation in Hawaii with his surfer girlfriend will return to Hollywood engaged! Friends say they'll come back engaged but want to keep the buzz on the DL!" Just two hours later, the Oscar-nominated actor — who spent Valentine's Day with his love in what appeared to be Hawaii — took to Instagram to address the engagement rumors, which never specifically mentioned him by name. "The rumors are not true. I am engaged. But not to my girlfriend. I am engaged to your mom. I know this is shocking but please respect our privacy at this time," he wrote, adding in the caption, "media stop writing fake stuff it's corny." Unfortunately, his jokey response only seemed to further fuel the rumors that he is, in fact, engaged.

E! News reported on Feb. 14 that Tobey Maguire and his girlfriend of around three years, Tatiana Dieteman, quietly called it quits "months ago." Said a source, "Tatiana has moved on." She's now dating surfer Koa Smith, who honored her on Instagram on Valentine's Day. "Happy Valentine's Day to my bessss fwennnnnn!!! Love you baby!" Koa captioned a slideshow of PDA-packed pics. Tatiana, meanwhile, called Koa her Valentine on her Instagram Story.

On Feb. 14, Deux Moi reported that, according to multiple anonymous sources, Shailene Woodley and Aaron Rodgers had gone their separate ways. "[I] was with Aaron Rodgers at a Super Bowl party on Friday. He said he was single. … My friend asked him point blank," said one alleged insider. A second source claimed of the breakup rumors, which plagued the duo for months, "[I] can confirm this from a friend of Shailene's." Two days later, multiple media outlets reported that the split rumors were true: "While Shailene is supportive of Aaron's career, he put football first and they were barely spending any time together. She felt he neglected their relationship. Neither of them was happy," said an In Touch source, adding that the professional football player is "an independent guy" who "got cold feet" about marrying the actress. "There were too many obstacles. They're both adults and decided to part amicably," said a second In Touch source, noting that ultimately, Aaron and Shailene just "couldn't make it work." Later in the day, a People magazine source called the breakup "amicable." Explained the People source, "It just wasn't working. They're very different people with busy careers and there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount. They will remain friendly; there's no bad blood and no drama. It just didn't work out for them." The former couple — who got engaged in 2020 but hadn't been seen together in months — reportedly did not see eye to eye on political issues. Explained a second People source, "They fell hard and fast, but it was a mismatch from the start. … Aaron's a complicated guy. No one in their circle is surprised this didn't work out. In the bubble of the pandemic, it was easy for them to fall in love and focus only on their relationship but that's not real life."

On Feb. 14, E! News reported that, according to a source, a "relentless" Kanye West is "desperately trying" to win back his estranged wife, Kim Kardashian, who filed for a bifurcation of marital status back in late December 2021. (The rapper stalled divorce proceedings by filing an opposition to her request, demanding via legal paperwork that "Kim's motion should be denied without prejudice so that Kim can refile it with the mandatory corrections and requested conditions set forth in the proposed judgment." He also requested that "a hearing regarding these additional conditions should be set.") A second E! News source noted that "Kim is trying to ignore" her ex's "pleas to get back together." Explained the second insider, "She is really happy right now and is having a lot of fun. She likes where she is at in life and is loving this new chapter. … Kim is hopeful Kanye will be able to move on in the future and accept they aren't getting back together. She wants him to be happy." The source added that the mother of four will "always be cordial and communicate" with the rapper. As for her new boyfriend, Pete Davidson, a third E! source said that the "Saturday Night Live" star "doesn't want to get involved or be in the middle of Kim and Kanye" and "supports Kim with whatever she needs." He also has "sympathy" for Ye. "Kim is very good at compartmentalizing and not letting these things get to her. She is able to shut it off and ignore when she has to," said the third source. Said a People magazine source of the new couple, "Pete is great for Kim. During the past few months when they have been dating, Kim has been very happy. All the drama with Kanye is still difficult for her, but Pete cheers her up. They haven't had any drama so far. It's very refreshing for Kim."

In the Feb. 12 edition of her "On The JLo" newsletter, Jennifer Lopez publicly shared her early Valentine's Day gift from back-on boyfriend Ben Affleck: a new cut of the music video for her late-2021 love song "On My Way" featuring footage of the duo from their childhoods and pre-fame days and from their time as a couple before their initial 2004 breakup. (Yes, the Oscar winner included footage from their 2003 box office bomb "Gigli" and from J.Lo's iconic "Jenny from the Block" music video, in which he appeared.) "Watching it made me think about the journey of true love, its unexpected twists and turns, and that when it's real, it actually can last forever," the singer-actress explained, adding that the video "seriously melted my heart." Later on Valentine's Day — during an interview with Heart FM — she shared her thoughts on what an ideal marriage proposal looks like: The superstar said that although she loves "public displays of romance," she wouldn't necessarily love getting engaged in public. "I don't know that I would love a proposal. I think that that's a more intimate thing between two people, but I have no problem with PDA. I'm actually all about it if you really feel it," she said. "But I do think a proposal is kind of a sacred, intimate thing that should just be between two people. When you're about to pledge your lives to each other that's a big deal."

On Feb. 13, Nick Cannon dropped a new song, "Alone," which, according to an official press release, is "an ode to Mariah Carey," his ex-wife. "I say I'm cool when I know I miss it / I'd trade it all for the case / If I could have you back / If I could go back to where we started at," he sings on the track, which samples Mariah's 1990 single "Love Takes Time." He also croons of his former love, "As much as I want you back / It's probably better where you at / 'Cause I'm still running the streets / I'm still all in the sheets / Having babies, models and singers and actresses saying they pregnant by me." Nick and Mariah, who share twins Moroccan and Monroe, split in 2014 following six years of marriage. He's since welcomed five more children with three different women and is currently expecting his eighth child with a fourth woman. Mariah, meanwhile, has been in a relationship with Bryan Tanaka since 2016. On Feb. 15, she made it clear that she and the dancer are still going strong by posting a selfie with him on Instagram. "Valentine's marathon continues. Hour 23!" she wrote in the caption. The following day, on the Feb. 16 episode of the "Language of Love" podcast, Nick said of Mariah, "We're really great friends and she's kind of taught me so much — so that's family." He also said he's currently single, that he doesn't "have the bandwidth" for a relationship and that he doesn't "feel like monogamy is healthy." On the Feb. 16 episode of his eponymous talk show, he added that it would be "impossible" for him to win back his ex: "I had probably the greatest situation with my dream girl and I messed it up," he said of Mariah. "The song was not really about trying to get her back. It was taking ownership of what I did as a man and owning my flaws and expressing it through song."

During an interview with ELLE magazine that debuted online on Feb. 14, Zoe Kravitz briefly opened up about her late-2020 split from Karl Glusman following just 18 months of marriage. "Karl's an incredible human being," she said. "It really is less about him and more about me learning how to ask myself questions about who I am and still learning who I am, and that being okay. That's the journey I'm on right now." She mostly demurred when asked to comment on her relationship with new love Channing Tatum though admitted she's "happy" and feeling "optimistic about life" right now.

On Feb. 13, People magazine confirmed a report from late 2021 revealing that actress Rosario Dawson and U.S. senator Cory Booker have gone their separate ways. They're reportedly on good terms in the wake of their breakup, which followed around three years of coupledom.

It's official! Model Paige Lorenze took to her Instagram Story on Feb. 10 to confirm her long-rumored romance with controversial country music star Morgan Wallen. "I love you and am so proud of you," she captioned a photo of herself packing on the PDA with her beau as they posed backstage at his sold-out concert at New York City's Madison Square Garden. The duo were first publicly linked in the summer of 2021, though Page Six reported earlier this month that they've actually been an item since early 2021.

According to a Page Six source, Audrina Patridge and Josh Henderson were "inseparable" during Rolling Stone's annual pre-Super Bowl bash in Hollywood on Feb. 12. "They were holding hands all night — and other body parts too," said the spy. Back in 2019, there were conflicting reports about the nature of the longtime pals' relationship.

_

On Feb. 12, The Sun reported that Ed Westwick has been quietly dating British Bollywood actress Amy Jackson since they met at the Red Sea International Film Festival in Saudi Arabia in late December. "Ed and Amy are a really good match. They hit it off straight away. Both like to have fun and are career-driven. They're enjoying getting to know each other for now," said a source.

_

On the Feb. 14 episode of "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," Kat Dennings finally cleared up the rumors about her relationship status with Andrew W.K.: "We're not married yet, but we went to buy our wedding bands, and then we were like, 'Why don't we just wear them? Who cares?' And that's the end of that story," she said. The duo announced their engagement in May 2021 and sparked rumors they'd secretly wed the very next month.

Again?! Sometime in mid-February — as Shanna Moakler starred on the third season of "Celebrity Big Bother" — her off-and-on boyfriend of a couple years, Matthew Rondeau, quietly unfollowed her on Instagram and deleted all photos of her from his grid. After she got evicted from the "Big Brother" house on the Feb. 14 episode, Shanna unfollowed him in turn, signaling they may have called it quits again … for at least the third time in the past year. Two days earlier, TMZ reported that the male model planned to propose to the mother of three after she wrapped the reality show but had second thoughts after he saw her flirting with housemate Lamar Odom — he reportedly feels she crossed the line. But if we've learned anything from Matthew and Shanna, it's that whatever drama they're facing now, it's unlikely to be the end of them.

During an interview with Page Six that debuted online on Feb. 14, "Summer House" star Andrea Denver revealed that he's "dating someone" and is "really happy." Said the male model of his mystery woman, whose name he's keeping publicly under wraps, "I'm excited for the future. But I like to keep my feet on the ground and take one step at a time. But, you know, let's cross fingers and see what's going to happen." He added that he "can't wait" to marry "the right person" one day and that "it would be really nice" to marry his current girlfriend. "I want to be realistic … but it would be great," he said. Andrea also told Page Six that he found out about former fling Paige DeSorbo's relationship with "Southern Charm" star Craig Conover "basically through blogs," though he and Craig were in regular communication at the time, which he described as "awkward." They're all on good terms now, though he doesn't "talk to Paige that much" out of respect to her relationship with Craig. "When I saw her a few times [recently], everything's great. We still, like, joke around and stuff," he said. "I just don't feel like texting someone that is in a relationship, because I want to be respectful. I have [had] the chance to talk to Craig more and everything is great. … I'm happy for them. I'm excited for them and I think they're a good match. … At the end of the day, I will always care for both of them." He was just "a little bit upset" at first, he explained, because his pal kept the romance secret: "It was just like, 'You're my friend, I trust you. I want us to be open about everything and be supportive — and not just about Paige, about everything else,'" he said.

On Feb. 10, Dominic Fike made his relationship with Hunter Schafer Instagram official: He took to his Instagram Story to share a sweet shot of himself kissing his "Euphoria" co-star and real-life love during a dinner date. "Happy birthday happy birthday," he wrote across the PDA pic. It's unclear if the duo were celebrating a mutual friend's birthday or belatedly celebrating their own back-to-back birthdays (Dec. 30 and Dec. 31).

During an interview for People magazine's "People Every Day" podcast that debuted online on Feb. 11, Dustin Lynch confirmed rumors that he quietly split from model Kelli Seymour during the coronavirus pandemic. "It was one of those 'we didn't survive quarantine' relationships," he said. "I learned so much about myself and what I want out of life and what I want out of my future partner. … There's no regret, but I think I found a lot of clarity after that happened and we started recording [my new] album." The country music star then claimed that the brunette beauty "ghosted" him following the breakup. "I wanted to be friends, but it takes two to tango, so that didn't pan out for me," he said. "We had hours and hours of conversations, to which I thought, 'Hey, I'm here for you, I'll support you,' and I still am. It was just a clean break, which I think in hindsight is probably the best thing for us." Dustin and Kelli first debuted their romance in late 2019.

It's official: Nazanin Mandi confirmed on Instagram on Feb. 15 that she and Miguel are back together. "Heal the root so the tree is stable. I'm so proud of us," she captioned a slideshow of PDA-packed photos with the Grammy winner, who captioned the same shots on his own Instagram, "Love heals. Proud of us." Commented his missus, "When you put the work in and it works out." In September 2021, the duo announced their plans to go their separate ways. They started sparking reconciliation rumors just two months later.

_

After months of rumors about the nature of their relationship, Chloe Bailey and Gunna have finally confirmed they're more than friends and collaborators.

Four days later, they dropped the PDA-packed music video for their collaboration "you & me" before stepping out for a chic Valentine's Day dinner.

On Feb. 12, the day before the Super Bowl, Bachelor Nation's Hannah Ann Sluss — who got engaged to Peter Weber and then quickly split from him on season 24 of "The Bachelor" in 2020 — revealed on TikTok that she's dating Los Angeles Rams running back Jake Funk. "One win away. Already so proud. Can't wait for tomorrow," she captioned a video of herself hugging the professional football player following the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 30. The following day, she called him her boyfriend in a TikTok video recapping her experience watching the Rams best the Cincinnati Bengals during the big game. The couple also took to Instagram on Feb. 13 to jointly share a slideshow of celebratory photos from the field at Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium following the game. "A moment we will always cherish. Love you!" they wrote in the caption.

In other Bachelor Nation love news… "The Bachelorette" couple Michelle Young and Nayte Olukoya made their red carpet debut as a couple in Los Angeles on Feb. 11. The duo got engaged on the finale of the 18th season of the hit reality show, which aired in late December.

Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles took to Instagram on Feb. 15 to announce that she and Houston Texans safety Jonathan Owens are engaged. "THE EASIEST YES. I can't wait to spend forever & ever with you, you're everything I dreamed of and more! Let's get married FIANCÉ," the gymnast captioned a slideshow of photos and videos depicting the proposal and showing off her new engagement ring. Wrote the professional football player in the comments section, "Ready for forever with you." The two athletes have been an item since at least the summer of 2020.

_

Kate Hudson's oldest child — son Ryder Robinson with ex-husband Chris Robinson — took to Instagram on Valentine's Day to publicly reveal he's dating Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann's younger daughter, Iris Apatow. He shared a slideshow of two cozy-looking snaps with the "Love" actress including a sweet shot in which he can be seen planting a big kiss on her cheek. It's unclear how long they've been an item.

_

On the Feb. 16 episode of the "FML Talk" podcast, Morgan Willett revealed how she discovered last year that "The Challenge" co-star Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio was cheating on her: She got tipped off when she came home from a girls' trip and discovered that he'd washed their bedsheets but hadn't done any other cleaning. "[Something] made me think, 'Something is so wrong right now.' He's hungover and he just picked me up. He said he wasn't out that late. Why? Nothing else is being cleaned," she recalled. The second clue came when he didn't kiss her goodnight. "That's when I was like, all right. I knew something in my heart of hearts is really wrong," she said. A week later, a mutual friend reached out to tell her that Johnny left the bar that night with another woman. "In that moment, I just went numb," Morgan said, noting that she immediately confronted her then-boyfriend, who denied the allegations against him. Ultimately, she trusted her gut over his word and ended the relationship. "You have no choice," she said. "You can't stay in this situation anymore. You can't lie to yourself. You're gonna lose it." She went on to say that Johnny never fessed up to his indiscretions: "I wanted an 'I'm sorry.' I wanted any sort of comfort, and I was met with kind of like coldness," she said. "'I didn't do it,' I think, is the last thing I heard as I walked out and shut the door behind me. I think that's what's hard. Two and a half years down the drain and all you want to hear is 'I made a mistake' or 'You were enough and it just wasn't meant to be' or an explanation in general. I didn't get that in the moment, which is why I think it's been very, very difficult for me."

During separate interviews with E! News that debuted online on Feb. 15, "Below Deck Sailing Yacht" co-stars Daisy Kelliher and Gary King said that although they were seen making out in a trailer for the upcoming third season of the Bravo reality show, they're not a couple. "We're not dating. … Gary and I are just friends," said Daisy. "It's a complicated friendship. I don't think we're more than just friends. We're very affectionate people and we're very affectionate towards each other and care a lot about each other and we've been through a lot over the last two years. I just think that just got a bit blurred. … Our relationship is very platonic. We care about each other and like I said we're both affectionate people, so affection can sometimes lead to kissing. But no, we're just friends." Echoed Gary, "It's very difficult to date when you're working on a yacht. I mean, I'd probably see Daisy once every four or five months and I personally don't think that's fair on any of the parties. So I can safely say that we are just friends." He did, however, admit that he's "always had a soft spot for Daisy" and "thought she was very cute." He also admitted that "there was definitely chemistry" between them and that their makeout session was "amazing" for him. Added Gary, "It's a work in progress this relationship and we're just trying to build it step by step and see where it takes us. … We've actually built a very strong friendship."

Priscilla Presley's son with screenwriter Marco Garibaldi, Them Guns frontman Navarone Garibaldi, married his girlfriend of four years, Elisa Achilli, in an outdoor ceremony at the Schloss Hünigen hotel in Konolfingen, Switzerland, on Feb. 15. "I never thought I would find a counterpart that is so understanding and supportive. She makes everything we do effortless, and I can't imagine life without her," the groom told People magazine. Added his new missus, "Navarone is truly the most genuine, sweet and sensitive man I have ever known and I'm so lucky that after four years of long-distance, we can start our life together as husband and wife." The duo got engaged on Christmas in 2020.

_

On Feb. 12, Reba McEntire's son with ex-husband Narvel Blackstock — former race car driver Shelby Blackstock — married his love of more than five years, Marissa Branch, at Walt Disney World, where they also got engaged. According to People magazine, which published exclusive wedding photos, the duo met on Tinder in 2014 but didn't start dating until two years later. "We made fast friends early on and have had a strong bond ever since. We are twin flames. There's this indescribable feeling of déjà vu when we are together — as if life is reminding us that we're following our destiny," they said in a joint statement. "In retrospect, our mutual friends could see how compatible we are. They would always recommend that we should date; I think we were the only ones who didn't see it (at the time). The love was always there; we just didn't understand it until we were both in the right headspace and had the maturity to recognize it. We both agree that if we had dated immediately upon meeting, we likely would not be as prepared as we are now to deserve one another."

According to People magazine, country music star Adam Doleac got engaged to his girlfriend of nearly five years, MacKinnon Morrissey, at the historic Franklin Theatre in Franklin, Tennessee, on Feb. 9. The bride-to-be was under the impression that she was set to attend a screening of "The Parent Trap" with some girlfriends when her beau pulled off the surprise proposal, which she described as "truly the most romantic, thoughtful, fun, special night I could have imagined." Added MacKinnon, "He had me 100% fooled. … It was perfect. I just feel so lucky to have been loved and celebrated like that." Said the groom, "We feel so lucky that we've already gotten to live so much life and make so many memories together. Every day continues to get better and better, and it just felt like the perfect time to start our forever."

There's nothing we love more than a good dog flick! Channing Tatum is the latest actor to headline a movie focused on a loving canine companion — "Dog," which he co-directed, hits theaters on Feb. 18, 2022. Channing plays Briggs, a soldier in the U.S. Army who's charged with transporting Lulu, a military working dog, so she can attend her handler's funeral. Though they don't get along at first, Briggs and Lulu work through their issues and form a special bond. To mark the release of "Dog," join Wonderwall.com as we take a look back at our favorite films about dogs.

As far as we're concerned, Tom Hanks can literally do no wrong and that was never more obvious than in the 1989 film "Turner & Hooch." The film puts a special spin on the buddy-cop trope by pairing Detective Scott Turner (played by Tom) with a French Mastiff dog, Hooch, instead of a human partner. Scott learns to love Hooch as they solve a murder case together. "Turner & Hooch" was beloved by audiences, leading to a $71 million box-office haul.

"White Fang" is a riveting adventure film starring a 21-year-old Ethan Hawke and a super-adorable yet protective wolfdog. The 1991 movie tells the story of Jack Conroy, a young man trying to fulfill his father's dying wish to find gold in the treacherous Yukon Valley, and White Fang, a wolfdog who starts his life in the wild before being adopted by a Native American chief and, later, by Jack. The two form a close bond and set off on a thrilling adventure together.

"A Dog's Journey," the sequel to the beloved "A Dog's Purpose," might have been the sweetest movie we saw in 2019. This time around, Bailey dies and is reincarnated into a beagle named Molly, a mastiff named Big Dog and a Yorkshire terrier named Max. Through all his adventures, one thing remains: his love for Ethan and his family. Stream this touching one on Fubo or Showtime tonight.

_

Before there was "A Dog's Journey," there was "A Dog's Purpose." The 2017 flick based on a book followed the life of Toby as he's reincarnated and eventually finds his way to a loving family that names him Bailey. Like its sequel, the film follows his reincarnation as he becomes other dogs and learns what life is all about. Dennis Quaid and KJ Apa star as the older and younger versions of Bailey's owner, Ethan, while Josh Gad voices the pup throughout all of his lives.

_

"Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" has it all: funny dialogue, a thrilling adventure story and sentimental moments that will tug at your heartstrings. The 1993 movie tells the story of American bulldog Chance, golden retriever Shadow and Himalayan cat Sassy, who must find their home after being accidentally left behind. The lovable adventure-comedy film, which is based on the book of the same name, was an instant hit among audiences. "Homeward Bound: The Incredible Journey" grossed over $41 million and is still considered a classic dog film today.

_

We love "Best in Show" because the film is a hilarious, laugh-out-loud-funny mockumentary that pokes fun at the world of prestigious dog shows. The 2000 comedy follows five participants in a dog show and focuses on the slightly surreal interactions between the owners, handlers and pets as they travel to the show and compete. "Best in Show" is even more impressive once you know that the all-star cast improvised much of the dialogue in the flick.

_

When the darling animated flick "The Secret Life of Pets" hit theaters in 2016, it gave both kids and adults alike a peek at what their beloved animals get up to when their humans leave for the day. Plenty of celebrities lent their voices to the pets in this flick including Louis C.K., Eric Stonestreet, Kevin Hart and Jenny Slate. Fans of the fun film are due for a treat in June 2019 when the sequel, "The Secret Life of Pets 2," hits theaters.

_

Another throwback movie that we continue to love to this day is "Beethoven," which makes our list thanks to its strong performances, amazing soundtrack and its lovable lead character, a gorgeous St. Bernard dog. The comedic film centers on the antics of Beethoven (who's named after composer Ludwig van Beethoven) and his owners, the Newton family. The 1992 movie was a surprisingly huge moneymaker, grossing $147.2 million on an $18 million budget.

_

We're sure nostalgia is hitting you with this pick. "All Dogs Go to Heaven" is the classic 1989 animated film that audiences adored. The musical-comedy follows Charlie B. Barkin, a German shepherd who's murdered by his former friend. Charlie choses to leave heaven to return to Earth and partner up with his best friend, Itchy Itchiford, and a young orphan girl, Anne-Marie, who teaches them about kindness, friendship and love. "All Dogs Go to Heaven" was so successful that it became one of the highest selling VHS (remember those?) releases of all time and spawned a theatrical sequel, a television series and a direct-to-video holiday film.

_

"Benji" was one of Hollywood's first dog movies, but it continues to delight audiences today. The 1974 flick, which was written, produced and directed by Joe Camp, tells the story of Benji, a stray mixed-breed dog who beats bad guys and gets the lady in the end (a Maltese named Tiffany). The fun adventure film was a critical and commercial success that received rave reviews from critics and grossed over $45 million on a $500K budget!

_

Who doesn't love this classic Disney film? "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" makes our list thanks to it's riveting plot, colorful animation and amazing soundtrack, which includes the perfect villain anthem, "Cruella De Vil." The entertaining 1964 film tells the story of a litter of Dalmatian puppies who are kidnapped by the villainous Cruella, who wants to turn their pelts into coats. Their parents, Pongo and Perdita, set out to save their children from Cruella and end up rescuing 84 additional puppies that were bought in pet shops, bringing the total of Dalmatians to 101. Like many Disney films before and after it, "One Hundred and One Dalmatians" was a big moneymaker, raking in $215.8 million at the box office.

_

Next up on our list is the 1995 animated film "Balto" — another cartoon classic that will leave you in your feelings. "Balto," which is loosely based on a real-life story, centers on the titular sled dog who was part of the 1925 serum run to Nome, Alaska, that helped save children from the diphtheria epidemic. The movie was a hit upon its release and spawned two direct-to-video sequels: "Balto II: Wolf Quest" and "Balto III: Wings of Change."

_

"Marley & Me" is guaranteed to leave you in tears by the end, but don't let that deter you from seeing the heartwarming film. The 2008 movie tells the story of journalist Johnny Grogan (played by Owen Wilson) and the 13 years he and his family spent with their mischievous yellow Labrador retriever, Marley. The comedy-drama film, which is based on the memoir of the same name and co-starred Jennifer Aniston, scored big at the box office, setting a record for the largest Christmas Day box-office haul ever (at the time) with $14.75 million in ticket sales. "Marley & Me" went on to rake in $247 million during its run.

_

A cute dog and Richard Gere? What more could you ask for! "Hachi: A Dog's Tale" qualifies as one of the best dog movies because of its beautiful true story. The 2009 flick centers on Hachikō, a real-life Akita Inu dog that became famous for his faithfulness and loyalty to owner Hidesaburō Ueno — whom he waited for for more than nine years following Hidesaburō's death. "Hachiko: A Dog's Tale," which is a British-American remake of a Japanese film, was a critical and commercial success that grossed over $46 million.

_

2006's "Eight Below" saw the late Paul Walker playing a scientist on an Antarctic expedition. Part of his exploration requires the use of sled dogs, and he and his colleagues quickly bond with these amazingly loyal creatures. Though we have to add a fair warning to this one: It's a drama and you might need a box of tissues while watching!

_

"Bolt" is one of Disney's most entertaining animated films. The critically acclaimed 2008 flick tells the story of Bolt, a white dog who thinks he has superpowers after spending his entire life on the set of a TV series. When he believes that his human, Penny, has been kidnapped, he sets out on a cross-country journey to "rescue" her. "Bolt" performed modestly at the box office for a Disney film (only grossing $310 million) but continues to be held in high regard by critics and fans (including us). The movie was nominated for a series of awards including a best animated feature Oscar and Golden Globe and a best original song Globe.

_

The dog movie that started them all! We would be remiss not to mention Lassie on this list! The 1943 movie "Lassie Come Home" centers on the profound bond between a young boy, Joe Carraclough, and his rough collie, Lassie. The MGM film was the first of many movies and TV shows focused on lovable Lassie. The canine character appeared in seven more sequels, the most recent being 2005's "Lassie."

_

"Dog Days" certainly had a star-studded cast. Nina Dobrev, Vanessa Hudgens, Finn Wolfhard and Eva Longoria are just some of the celebs that popped up in this romantic comedy that follows the lives of dogs (and their owners!) in Los Angeles. Though it wasn't a box-office smash, the sweet and simple flick did feature a gaggle of adorable doggies whose antics we loved to watch.

_

"The Fox and the Hound" has all the elements of an amazing animated movie: a thoughtful and thrilling story, fleshed-out characters and vivid animation. The 1981 Disney film tells the story of a red fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper who struggle to preserve their friendship despite their emerging instincts and social pressure to become enemies.

_

Much like the beloved classic "Lassie Come Home," "Old Yeller" is an older dog movie that helped put the genre on the map. The drama, released in 1957, follows a boy, Travis, and his stray golden retriever, Old Yeller, in post-Civil War Texas. The heartwarming movie, which will probably make you shed a few tears, has left a long-lasting legacy in film. "Old Yeller" became an important cultural film for baby boomers thanks to its heartbreaking final scene (don't worry, we won't give it away!).

_

2019's "The Art of Racing in the Rain" sees Milo Ventimiglia paired with a cute pooch. The "This Is Us" star plays Denny Swift, a race car driver who has three loves of his life: his wife, his daughter and his best friend/dog, Enzo, who wants to be reincarnated as a human.

ICYMI: Alec Baldwin and others from 'Rust' production sued by Halyna Hutchins' family and more celeb news ICYMI

"Rust" lawsuit

Alec Baldwin and others involved in the production of the indie Western "Rust" have been sued by the family of Halyna Hutchins, the cinematographer who was killed on the New Mexico set of the movie last fall. In the wrongful death lawsuit filed on Feb. 15, the family says numerous safety measures were violated when a gun wielded by Alec accidentally discharged and fired a live round. A lawyer for the family said "reckless behavior in cost cutting" led to the 42-year-old director of photography's death. Lawyers for Halyna's estate assert that Alec and the others involved "disregarded at least 15 industry standards" for safety on the set. Estate attorney Randi McGinn told NBC she "expected the case would get to trial within a year and a half to two years." She added, "You don't hand somebody a gun until you give them safety training … No one should ever die with a real gun on a make-believe movie set."

Royal mess

Prince Andrew and Virginia Giuffre reached an out-of-court settlement in her civil sexual abuse lawsuit against him, court documents revealed on Feb. 15. Terms of the settlement are not known though various British media reports put the figure at between $10-$20 million. Virginia has long claimed that she was forced to have sex with the royal years ago when she was 17 after she was trafficked by Andrew's old friend, late convicted pedophile and financier Jeffrey Epstein. A court filing states that Prince Andrew, who is Queen Elizabeth II's second son, "intends to make a substantial donation to Ms. Giuffre's charity in support of victims' rights" on top of the settlement payment. The statement also said, "Prince Andrew has never intended to malign Ms. Giuffre's character, and he accepts that she has suffered both as an established victim of abuse and as a result of unfair public attacks. It is known that Jeffrey Epstein trafficked countless young girls over many years. Prince Andrew regrets his association with Epstein, and commends the bravery of Ms. Giuffre and other survivors in standing up for themselves and others. He pledges to demonstrate his regret for his association with Epstein by supporting the fight against the evils of sex trafficking, and by supporting its victims." Andrew has already been stripped on his military titles and he can no longer use the title "His Royal Highness." There are now calls for him to be stripped of his Duke of York title.

Bad behavior?

Chevy Chase isn't worried about what other people think about him. In an interview that aired on "CBS Sunday Morning" on Feb. 13, the "Saturday Night Live" alum addressed his well-documented history of feuding with co-stars. "I guess you'd have to ask them. I don't give a c***," he said. "I am who I am. And I like where — who I am. I don't care. And it's part of me that I don't care. And I've thought about that a lot. And I don't know what to tell you, man. I just don't care." Chevy's past fights have reportedly included arguments with "Community" creator Dan Harmon and his "SNL" colleague Bill Murray, with whom things allegedly turned physical. "SNL" star Pete Davidson once called Chevy a "genuinely bad" person.

Head trauma

The circumstances surrounding comedian Bob Saget's January death in Florida are still a mystery to many, but according to a report from TMZ, it's likely that he hit his head on a part of his hotel bed frame, resulting in a skull fracture that lead to brain bleeding. Some medical experts, however, have said the skull fractures are more consistent with "being hit by a bat" or falling 20 to 30 feet, TMZ explained. In related news, Bob's family filed a lawsuit against Orange County Sheriff John Mina and the District Nine Medical Examiner's Office on Feb. 15 to stop any further release of documents or photos related to the "Full House" star's death. A judge granted the temporary restraining order to block the release of photos from the scene in Bob's Orlando, Florida, hotel room.

Returning to life

Linda Evangelista has opened up about her botched cosmetic surgery. Last year, the former supermodel made headlines when she filed a $50 million lawsuit claiming that a series of seven sessions of CoolSculpting "fat-freezing" procedure she underwent in a dermatologist's office in 2015 and 2016 left her "permanently deformed" and "brutally disfigured," leading her to live in seclusion for almost five years. In a new cover story with People magazine, Linda said she was diagnosed with paradoxical adipose hyperplasia after the surgery (PAH, which causes affected fatty tissue to thicken and expand, is a rare side effect that affects less than 1% of CoolSculpting patients). Her doctor told her "no amount of dieting and no amount of exercise was ever going to fix it," she said. With the lessons she's learned, Linda is now preaching body acceptance. "Why do we feel the need to do these things [to our bodies]? I always knew I would age. And I know that there are things a body goes through. But I just didn't think I would look like this," she says of her body protrusions, which developed after the procedures. "I don't recognize myself physically, but I don't recognize me as a person any longer either." The image people have of Linda the supermodel is "gone," she said, adding, "I hope I can shed myself of some of the shame and help other people who are in the same situation as me. That's my goal."

Over and done

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley's engagement has been sacked. On Feb. 16, multiple outlets reported that the duo split up and called off their engagement of just over a year. "While Shailene is supportive of Aaron's career, he put football first and they were barely spending any time together," an insider told In Touch magazine. "She felt he neglected their relationship. Neither of them was happy." According to a People magazine source, the split was amicable, with the source adding that the romance just wasn't working.

Love lines, Hollywood spawn edition

The next generation of Hollywood is finding love. On Valentine's Day 2022, Ryder Robinson, who's the son of actress Kate Hudson and the Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson, posted this photo of himself kissing girlfriend Iris Apatow, who's the daughter of actress Leslie Mann and filmmaker Judd Apatow, on Instagram with a red heart emoji caption. It served as the teens' public coming out as a couple. The duo seems to have the blessing of their famous parents: Leslie commented on the photo with three heart emojis and Kate commented, "Sweets."

Kelly Clarkson just asked a judge for an unexpected new name, plus more celeb news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Feb. 20, 2022February 20, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 4:03am PST, Feb 20, 2022

Kelly Clarkson files to legally change her name

Following her difficult and often contentious split from Brandon Blackstock, Kelly Clarkson became legally single and ditched her former married name in September 2021. Now, the talk show host and singer is taking her newfound single identity one step further. On Valentine's Day, Kelly, 39, filed to legally change her name to Kelly Brianne, according to Us Weekly. In her filing, she reportedly said using Brianne, her middle name, "more fully reflects who I am." It's unclear if she plans to continue using "Kelly Clarkson" on her eponymous show. The request comes after the "American Idol" veteran agreed to pay her ex a 5.12 percent share of the Montana ranch she bought with her own money during their marriage. She'd previously won sole ownership of the property after fighting with Brandon over it (he reportedly refused to vacate the premises). Earlier on in their divorce, she was ordered to pay Brandon nearly $200,000 a month in spousal and child support, as the two sued each other over commissions related to her TV work that Brandon claimed he and his father were owed through their talent agency. Kelly's name change petition is slated for a hearing on March 28.

Brad Pitt sues Angelina Jolie over Chateau Miraval stake sale

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are headed back to court. Again. On Feb. 17, Brad filed suit against his ex in Los Angeles on grounds she failed to get his consent first when she sold her stake in their winery in southeast France, Chateau Miraval, to a section of Stoli Group, a spirits company controlled by Russian oligarch Yuri Shefler, the Guardian reported on Feb. 18. The former couple — whose 2016 divorce has yet to be settled (though they're legally single) — had agreed neither of them would sell their stake in the winery without first getting an OK on the sale from the other person. In July 2021, Angelina reportedly told a judge handling their divorce she had lined up a sale of her stake in the company. Brad agreed a few months later that she could pursue a sale, but says in the lawsuit that she was still expected to get his approval on the buyer before closing the deal. He says she never did that. According to TMZ, Brad claims Angelina "intentionally" kept the sale details from him. He found out in October that he now shares the controlling stake in the winery with the Stoli subsidiary, Tenute del Mondo, and according to TMZ, the new co-owners are making it difficult for him to operate the business the way he has been. He also can no longer use the chateau as a residence in France. The lawsuit further notes Brad "poured money and sweat equity" into making Miraval the success it is today, while she had little to do with the company. Revenue from Miraval's highly rated rose reportedly exceeds $50 million a year, according to The Guardian. In the documents, Brad says Angelina is after "unearned windfall profits" from his hard work and has caused him "gratuitous harm." Brad's asking for unspecified damages for breach of contract and he's asked the court to nix the sale since it wasn't done one the agreed upon terms. Reps for Angelina had not yet commented on the case as of Feb. 18.

Kanye West objects to Kim Kardashian's divorce petition

Kanye West has filed an official objection to Kim Kardashian's divorce petition, including her request to be declared legally single as the proceedings continue. According to multiple reports, the rapper's response suggests he's worried Kim could remarry before they've hashed out final agreements on custody of their four kids and who gets which property from their marriage. In his filing, Kanye says he wants to ensure his assets are secure before a ruling is made on Kim becoming legally single. He says Kim's lawyer has rejected his requests to that end — but Kim's lawyer says a number of the demands are "unnecessary," given the pair's extensive prenup, which kept most of their major assets separate to begin with. That's where Ye's interest in waiving marital privilege starts to seem like the central component of his filing. Per Page Six, "without marital privilege, all communications between [Kim and Kanye] would be part of the court record." Given Kim's ongoing romance with Pete Davidson — not to mention, Kanye's habits of dissing Pete publicly and pleading for Kim to come back — his objection reads as if he's concerned wedding bells could be on the horizon for his ex and "Saturday Night Live" star. Kim's legal marital status is slated to be addressed at a hearing in March. Kim filed for divorce from Kanye in February 2021.

Elliot Page set to release memoir in 2023

Since coming out as transgender in December 2020, "Umbrella Academy" star Elliot Page has often spoken publicly about his experience as a trans person. Now, he's getting ready to release his first memoir. Due out on Flatiron Books in 2023, "Pageboy" "… will delve into [Elliot's] relationship with his body" and "his experiences as one of the most famous trans people in the world," the publisher told the Associated Press (via People). The book will also "cover mental health, assault, love, relationships, sex, and the cesspool that Hollywood can be," they added. Speaking to Oprah Winfrey on "The Oprah Conversation" last spring, Elliot opened up about the "dichotomy" he now feels in his body, "… where on some level it feels just like the most miraculous, amazing thing — and it's also just the experience of, 'Oh, there I am." Asked why it was important to him to detail his top surgery experience in an interview with Time, the Oscar-nominated star said, "I wanted to share with people just how much it has changed my life. And I want people to know that not only has it been life changing for me, I do believe it is life saving and it's the case for so many people … and because there is such an attack on trans health care right now, when already there is such a lack of access or trans people who don't even want to go to the doctor."

Newly engaged Simone Biles says her ring 'beats a gold medal'

Move over, Olympic medals — Simone Biles' new prized possession is the ring Jonathan Owens slipped on her finger on Valentine's Day. The G.O.A.T. of women's gymnastics and her new fiance, a safety for the Houston Texans, appeared on the Feb. 18 edition of "Today," where they adorably rehashed their engagement story, beginning with their initial Instagram meetup in March 2020. "We clicked really really well in the beginning because we're athletes and we have the same busy schedules," Simone recalled. "But other than that, since it was kind of a COVID relationship, we were with each other 24/7, so I feel like now when we're not with each other it's almost weird. We're always texting or calling each other. It's kind of gross in a way," she joked. Jonathan, meanwhile, said his first inkling Simone was the real deal came when he noticed a certain family member was a huge fan. "My dog really loved her," he said of his bulldog, Zeus. "I could kind of see his face like whenever I would pick my bookbag up in my apartment, he would think we're leaving to go to her place, so he would sprint to the front door. And I'd be like, 'Huh, you really like her!'" As time went on, Jonathan said he "started to want to see her more." She apparently felt the same way, because she "stopped leaving" his house. After the two moved in together, he got his courage together and asked her father for her hand in marriage. "I was a little nervous at first," he admitted. "And for the longest [time], Simone was sitting right next to us so I couldn't really say what I wanted and then she left so I was like, 'OK. I finally got the cue.'" Finally, Jonathan got down on one knee on Feb. 14 and proposed. On Instagram, Simone later called the decision "the easiest yes." As for that ring? "It's definitely my most prized possession now and I'm always wearing it," she said on "Today." "I had to wash my hair the other day, and I took it off just in case. I didn't know if it was gonna get caught or anything. I have to ask my mom like, 'When do you take it off? Do you ever take it off?' But it definitely beats a gold medal," she added.

Beverly Johnson reflects on returning to the runway at 69 at NYFW

When Beverly Johnson made history as the first Black woman to appear on the cover of American Vogue in 1974, she sparked a new era for diversity and representation in fashion. Earlier this month, she finally staged a return to New York Fashion Week, walking in runway shows for both Sergio Hudson and Bibhu Mohapatra. "Because we've been going through so much these last few years, [this season felt] so positive and uplifting," the supermodel told Vogue of her decision to hit the catwalk again at 69. "The energy was contagious; people were laughing and smiling. People just needed that little breakthrough," she said. Her trailblazing career also got a salute on the Mohapatra runway. "He had all Black girls in the show, in honor of me," she revealed. "I'm getting ready to cry right now. It was one of those moments that you'll remember for the rest of your life." One thing she seems not to have remembered over the years, though, was how to nail her runway walk. In addition to doing lots of pilates to prep for the shows, Beverly said she enlisted "runway walk expert" Miss J, who's appeared on "America's Next Top Model" for some help. "He turned me around, People think it's just walking, but it's not," Beverly explained. "He taught me to walk with my shoulders back, stomach in, and you lean the top part of your body back." She went on to joke that it's basically "impossible to walk like that," before hinting that she could be back on the runway in Europe in the very near future. "I'm the type of girl that says yes to everything," she said. "It's so easy to say no. When you say no, it ends everything — but when you say yes, you open yourself up to all the possibilities."

Delilah Hamlin says she's six months sober after accidental overdose

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin's daughter, Delilah Hamlin, is celebrating six months of sobriety this week. The model, 23, posted about her mile marker on her Instagram Stories on Feb. 17, sharing a video that showed her jumping up and down. "Hi, I'm six months sober!" she says in the short clip, according to E! News. Though she's said elsewhere on Instagram that her litany of medical issues — which range from Lyme disease and Epstein-Barr virus to encephalitis — prevent her from drinking alcohol, she accidentally overdosed on prescription pills last year. At the time, she told social media followers a psychiatrist had prescribed too strong a dose of Xanax, which she said she became physically "dependent" on. When she added what turned out to have been too much of a drug called Propranolol to the mix, plus Benadryl, she said, "I ended up in the hospital." She said she'd been having panic attacks, hence the anti-anxiety meds, but when she started having seizures last summer, she started to feel "hopeless" and eventually checked into a treatment center for help detoxing from all the meds and eradicating her Xanax dependency.

Chris Daughtry's wife Deanna opens up about 'accepting' the death of their daughter

As Chris Daughtry and his wife, Deanna Daughtry, continue to mourn the death of their 25-year-old daughter, Deanna is grateful for the support her family's been offered. She's also trying to be patient with herself as she moves into an "acceptance" phase. Last fall, the couple announced Hannah, Deanna's daughter from a previous relationship and Chris' step-daughter, had ended her life while under the influence of drugs on Nov. 12. They said she'd been struggling with addiction and mental health issues for some time, but news of her death was still an enormous shock. "Chris and I would like to thank our family, friends and Daughtry fans for the kind expressions of sympathy over the last few months. Although we cannot reach out to each of you individually, it is our hope that you sense our deep appreciation for your love and support," Deanna, shared on Instagram on Feb. 18. "It's challenging to know how to move forward after such loss. I honestly just want to hide in my bubble and be alone if I'm not loving on my husband and children but I'm acutely aware that the world doesn't stop for our grief," she continued in the caption to the text post. She went on to write that some of her "suffering" seems to "dissipate" when she accepts what's happened without "needing it to change." "I'm accepting Hannah is gone, I'm accepting that the world isn't going to stop for me and I'm accepting where I am in this process at this moment," she wrote. In closing, Deanna warned that she may need to "share deep thoughts and feelings" on social media, saying, "I accept that as well. I hope you all will too, before adding "a special thank you to our people who really showed up for us."

Schwing! See what the stars of 'Wayne's World' are up to 30 years after the film's debut

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Feb. 20, 2022February 20, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 4:02am PST, Feb 20, 2022

_

It began as a "Saturday Night Live" skit about two music-obsessed slackers who broadcast a public access show from a basement couch. "Wayne's World" became one of the highest grossing films of 1992 — and the biggest blockbuster ever based on a "Saturday Night Live" bit. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the movie's release on Feb. 14, 1992, join Wonderwall.com as we catch up with the cast of the classic comedy. Party on!

Keep reading to see what Mike Myers, Dana Carvey, Tia Carrere and the rest of the cast have been up to…

_

"Wayne's World" told the story of Wayne Campbell (Mike Myers) and Garth Algar (Dana Carvey), best friends in Aurora, Illinois, whose little public-access TV show leads to a wild adventure. The guys — pictured having a heart-to-heart on the hood of their famous ride, Garth's car "the Mirthmobile" — love partying and heavy metal music in equal measure. Excellent!

_

Of course "Saturday Night Live" alums Dana Carvey and Mike Myers both went on to work a lot after the 1992 comedy came out — including in the film's 1993 sequel, "Wayne's World 2." Let's dig a little deeper and find out what both these funnymen (seen here taking part in an interview on "The Tonight Show" in February 2021) have been up to…

_

Mike Myers played Wayne, the fun-loving host of the public-access show "Wayne's World," which he and his BFF Garth broadcast from the basement of Wayne's parents' house.

_

After "Wayne's World," Mike Myers found massive success in two franchises: as the curmudgeonly titular ogre in the 2001 blockbuster "Shrek" and its three sequels and as the titular shagadelic spy in all three "Austin Powers" movies. The Canada native married actress and comedy writer Robin Ruzan in 1993 but they split in 2005. He married cafe owner Kelly Tisdale in 2010; they are parents to a son and two daughters.

_

Dana Carvey played Garth, the sweet but socially awkward co-host of "Wayne's World."

_

Dana Carvey headlined ABC's short-lived 1996 sketch-comedy series "The Dana Carvey Show," which helped launch the careers of Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert. He returned to the big screen with two critically panned comedies, 2002's "The Master of Disguise" and 2011's "Jack and Jill." But in recent years, Dana found success voicing the character Pops in both "The Secret Life of Pets" movies and Dana the cruise director in "Hotel Transylvania 2." In 2021, he began hosting the comedy podcast "Fantastic! with Dana Carvey," which features his famous celebrity impressions and interviews with family members and stand-up comedy stars. Dana shares two adult sons with wife Paula, whom he wed in 1983.

_

Tia Carrere played Cassandra Wong, lead vocalist and bassist of local rock band Crucial Taunt, which performs gigs at The Gasworks, the heavy metal bar frequented by Wayne and his friends.

_

Tia Carrere followed up her "Wayne's World" success with roles in '90s movies including "True Lies," "Rising Sun" and "The Immortals." She later starred on the action-adventure series "Relic Hunter" and voiced Lilo's sister Nani in the 2002 Disney hit "Lilo & Stitch." Tia — who performed all her own vocals in "Wayne's World" — also found major success in music. The Honolulu native has released five albums and received four Grammy nominations, winning twice for best Hawaiian music album. Tia was married to film producer Elie Samaha from 1992 to 2000. Two years after they split, she wed photojournalist Simon Wakelin; they welcomed daughter Bianca in 2005 and divorced in 2010.

_

Rob Lowe played slick and sleazy Chicago television producer Benjamin Kane, who persuades Wayne and Garth to sell the rights to their show and then gives it a glam studio makeover.

_

Rob Lowe starred on "The West Wing" from 1999 to 2003 and has since had a diverse career that's included a popular stint on "Parks and Recreation" and roles in indie films like "Thank You for Smoking" and on kids' fare like Disney Channel's "The Lion Guard" (he's the voice of Simba). The former Brat Packer wrote two memoirs, "Stories I Only Tell My Friends" in 2011 and "Love Life" in 2014, in which he dishes on his infamously busy love life and his struggles with alcohol and drugs before getting sober in 1990. Rob, who's starred on "9-1-1: Lone Star" in 2020, has been married to jewelry designer Sheryl Berkoff since 1991; they share sons Matthew, a lawyer, and John Owen, a TV writer. "I've never been happier, personally or professionally," Rob told People magazine in January 2022 about his journey from wild teen idol to sober family man. "There's not a day that goes by where I'm not thankful about it all."

_

Lara Flynn Boyle played Stacy, Wayne's troubled ex-girlfriend who can't seem to accept that they're no longer a couple.

_

Lara Flynn Boyle, who was on a hot streak after "Twin Peaks" and "Wayne's World," went on to star in projects including the critically acclaimed 1993 film "Red Rock West." She starred on the ABC series "The Practice" from 1997 to 2003 and played villainous alien Serleena in 2002's "Men in Black II." After her first marriage, to John Patrick Dee III, ended in 1998, she had high-profile romances with David Spade and Jack Nicholson before tying the knot with real estate investor Donald Ray Thomas II in 2006. Lara, who returned to the big screen in 2021's "Death in Texas," has kept a low public profile amidst constant tabloid attention and speculation about her appearance. "Ignorance is bliss," Lara told The Hollywood Reporter in June 2021, adding that she doesn't own a computer or know how to use Google. "I chose this profession. I would be a total jerk if I complained about it. If I'm going to take the paycheck, I'm also going to take the bad publicity. It's going to happen."

_

The crew on Wayne and Garth's show included their headbanger friends Alan (played by Michael DeLuise, left) and Terry (portrayed by Lee Tergesen, right), the head cameraman who liked to hug his friends and tell them, "I love you, man."

_

Three months after "Wayne's World" came out, Michael DeLuise was on the big screen again as the school bully villain in "Encino Man." The son of actor Dom DeLuise and brother of Peter DeLuise (who played Officer Doug Penhall on "21 Jump Street") had a recurring role on "Gilmore Girls" and most recently appeared in a 2013 episode of the ABC Family dramedy "Bunheads." These days, Michael (seen here in a selfie he shared on Instagram in December 2021) primarily works as an artist and often shares his paintings on social media.

_

After appearing in "Wayne's World" and its 1993 sequel, Lee Tergesen starred on the 1994 series "Weird Science." Then came roles on the acclaimed series "Homicide: Life on the Street" and "Oz." Lee has worked steadily, racking up credits with a long list of film and TV projects including "Point Break," "Shaft," "Monster," "ER," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Desperate Housewives," "House," "The Americans," "Royal Pains," "Law & Order" and two of its spinoffs, "Criminal Intent" and "Special Victims Unit." After two marriages that ended in divorce, Lee married Yuko Otomo, an art therapist who works with psychiatric patients, in Japan in 2011. Daughter Lily was born in 2012.

_

Ed O'Neill played Glen, the disturbed manager at Mikita's Donuts who makes frequent references to death and killing and implies that he once murdered someone in the heat of passion.

_

Ed O'Neill was already a star when "Wayne's World" came out thanks to his role as Ed Bundy on the hit FOX sitcom "Married… With Children" from 1987 to 1997. After a run as Sgt. Joe Friday on the short-lived 2003 reboot of "Dragnet" and appearances on shows like "The West Wing" and "John from Cincinnati," Ed landed the part of the family patriarch on "Modern Family" and scored three Emmy nominations during the show's 11-year run. In recent years, he's voiced animated characters including Hank, the grumpy octopus in "Finding Dory," and Mr. Litwak in "Wreck-It Ralph" and its sequel, "Ralph Breaks the Internet." Ed's been married to actress Catherine Rusoff since 1986; they have two daughters.

_

Kurt Fuller portrayed dorky Russell Finley (right), a producer-director who's helmed many acclaimed and award-winning television shows for executive producer Benjamin Kane (played by Rob Lowe), who Russell believes is his good friend.

_

After "Wayne's World," Kurt Fuller went on to have a prolific career in TV and film. In addition to appearances on dozens of shows like "The West Wing," "Boston Legal," "Ugly Betty," "Glee" and "Drop Dead Diva," Kurt played NSC Director Robert Lindsey on "Alias," Woody the Coroner on "Psych" and the dark angel Zachariah on "Supernatural." Kurt has two daughters, Julia and Charlotte, with his wife, actress and author Jessica Hendra.

_

Brian Doyle-Murray played Noah Vanderhoff, a video arcade chain magnate who becomes the corporate sponsor of "Wayne's World." Colleen Camp played his wife, Mimi Vanderhoff.

_

Since "Wayne's World," Colleen Camp's career has included roles in an eclectic mix of films — "Die Hard with a Vengeance," "Election," "Factory Girl," "American Hustle" — and iconic TV shows including "Roseanne," "Entourage" and "House." She more recently appeared on the Disney Channel series "Andi Mack" in 2018. In 1986, Colleen married Paramount executive John Goldwyn, with whom she had daughter Emily before they divorced in 2001. In November 2020, Colleen announced her engagement to Garrett Moore, the son of English photographer Derry Moore, the Earl of Drogheda. Despite their 33-year age gap — when they got engaged, he was 34 and she was 67 — "We have had a magical and wonderful relationship over the last few years," Colleen told the Daily Mail.

_

Brian Doyle-Murray's post-"Wayne's World" career included parts in the box office successes "As Good as It Gets," "Dr. Dolittle," "Daddy Day Camp" and "17 Again." On the small screen, he had memorable roles on "Seinfeld" (he was the bubble boy's dad), "Veep" and "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and a recurring role on "The Middle." Brian, who's known for his distinctively gruff voice, has also worked on animated shows, playing the Flying Dutchman on "SpongeBob SquarePants" and Jack the barber on "King of the Hill." The veteran performer has been married to veterinarian Christina Stauffer since 2000.

_

Rocker Alice Cooper played himself in "Wayne's World," in which he performed his 1991 song "Feed My Frankenstein" from his album "Hey Stoopid." When Wayne and Garth seek him out backstage, he launches into a surprisingly intellectual lecture on the history of Milwaukee. Alice's invitation to hang out with him inspires the iconic movie moment when they kneel and bow reverently before him while chanting, "We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

_

In his more than 50 years of redefining the sound and look of heavy metal, Alice Cooper has earned the nickname "The Godfather of Shock Rock." He's released 21 solo albums since 1975 and still tours constantly (he's pictured here during a performance in Birmingham, Alabama, in October 2021). Alice — whose real name is Vincent Damon Furnier — is also a celebrity golf aficionado, a restaurateur and a radio DJ with his own popular syndicated classic rock show, "Nights with Alice Cooper." The musician, who once was briefly linked with actress Raquel Welch, married ballet instructor and choreographer Sheryl Goddard in 1976. In 1983, as he struggled with alcoholism, she filed for divorce. But he got sober and they reconciled the following year. The pair have three children: daughters Sonora and Calico and son Dashiell.

Steve Harvey's life in photos

By Wonderwall.com Editors 9:21am PST, Feb 19, 2022

There almost aren't enough hyphens to list the multiple hats renaissance man Steve Harvey has worn in his more than 30-year career in show business. The popular stand-up comedian-actor-author-deejay-philanthropist-fashion entrepreneur-Emmy-winning game show host and father of seven kicked off his latest job in January 2022, laying down the law (and bringing the laughs) on ABC's "Judge Steve Harvey." It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since his first big TV gig, "The Steve Harvey Show," ended its six-year run on Feb. 17, 2002. To mark that milestone, join Wonderwall.com as we take a look back at the life and career of the multitasking funny guy — and family man — in pictures.

Keep reading for a visual walk down memory lane with one of the OG kings of comedy…

_

Steve Harvey was born Broderick Stephen Harvey on Jan. 17, 1957, in Welch, West Virginia, the son of coal miner Jesse Harvey and his wife, Eloise Vera. The family moved to Cleveland, where Steve graduated from Glenville High School in 1974. After attending Kent State University for several years, he worked as a boxer, autoworker, insurance salesman, carpet cleaner and mail carrier but ended up homeless for several years in the late '80s, sleeping in his car when he wasn't performing gigs that provided a hotel. Steve first performed stand-up comedy at Hilarities Comedy Club in Cleveland on Oct. 8, 1985, and in 1990, he was a finalist in the Johnnie Walker National Comedy Search. Steve — seen here early in his career — couldn't have known then where his huge comedic talents would lead him…

_

After landing a gig hosting the "Showtime at the Apollo" variety program in 1990, Steve Harvey was tapped to host "Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve" on Dec. 31, 1994. It would be the beginning of a long list of special events over which Steve (seen here with the broadcasting legend and co-host Margaret Cho) would be asked to preside.

_

After years of doing stand-up and a stint as host of the variety show "It's Showtime at the Apollo," the comedian scored a job headlining his own sitcom, "The Steve Harvey Show," which aired on the WB from 1996 to 2002. Steve (pictured with, clockwise from lower left, Cedric the Entertainer, Terri J. Vaughn, Merlin Santana, William Lee Scott and Wendy Raquel Robinson) played Steve Hightower, a former '70s R&B singer who takes a job as a high school music teacher.

_

Steve Harvey went back to his stand-up comedy roots in 1997, performing on the "Kings of Comedy" tour with (from left) Cedric the Entertainer, D.L. Hughley and Bernie Mac. It became the highest grossing comedy tour in history, earning $18 million its first year and $19 million its second. A few years later it would be memorialized on the big screen by one of Hollywood's hottest directors…

_

Spike Lee directed the 2000 stand-up documentary "The Original Kings of Comedy," which starred Steve Harvey and the other members of the original smash hit tour: Bernie Mac, Cedric the Entertainer and D.L. Hughley. Filmed over two nights in front of a live audience in Charlotte, North Carolina, the comedians riffing on stage about race, religion, family and more are interspersed with video footage of the men backstage and promoting the show.

_

Steve Harvey — pictured accepting the entertainer of the year award at the 32nd Annual NAACP Image Awards in Los Angeles on March 3, 2001 — would go on to become a 14-time NAACP Image Award winner in various categories. His enormous popularity helped him land "The Steve Harvey Morning Show," a weekday morning radio program that has aired since 2000.

_

Steve Harvey has been married three times and now has seven children: four biological and three stepkids. His first marriage, to Marcia Harvey, ended in 1994 after 13 years. His second wife was Mary Shackelford (seen here with him at the premiere of "Rush Hour 2" in Los Angeles on July 26, 2001), with whom he had son Wynton. The pair split in 2005 after nine years of marriage.

_

One of Steve Harvey's highest profile — and most controversial — friends was Michael Jackson. Even after the "Thriller" singer's death in 2009 and subsequent allegations about his abuse of children, Steve (pictured at MJ's 45th birthday celebration in Los Angeles on Aug. 30, 2003) has celebrated his friendship with the King of Pop, whom he once insisted was "just different" in a famous stand-up routine. On Aug. 29, 2018, Steve posted a photo on Instagram of him and Michael with the caption: "MY MAN!!!!!!!"

_

After "The Original Kings of Comedy," Steve Harvey's next big screen appearance was as DJ Miles Smoke in the 2003 film "The Fighting Temptations," which had an ensemble cast that included Cuba Gooding Jr. (pictured) and Beyonce.

_

2003 was a busy year for Steve Harvey the movie star. He played Alvin Johnson in "Love Don't Cost a Thing," a teen comedy starring Nick Cannon and Christina Milian — a remake of the 1987 movie "Can't Buy Me Love," which starred Patrick Dempsey and Amanda Peterson.

_

Steve Harvey was a red carpet fixture in the early 2000s, appearing at events like the premiere of "The Fighting Temptations" in Los Angeles, where he's pictured with co-star Beyonce on Sept. 17, 2003.

_

Steve Harvey kept up his hot streak at the box office with 2004's "You Got Served," a drama about rival dancers and a street dancing competition whose stars included Wade Robson and Lil' Kim. Despite lukewarm reviews, it was No. 1 at the box office during its opening weekend and became a financial success, grossing more than $50 million.

_

In "Racing Stripes," the animated 2005 movie about a zebra who believes he's a racehorse, Steve Harvey (seen here with co-stars David Spade and Dustin Hoffman at the film's Los Angeles premiere on Jan. 8, 2005) played Buzz, the classical music-loving horsefly who's brothers with David's rap-loving horsefly, Scuzz.

_

Third time's a charm! In June 2007, Steve Harvey married Marjorie Bridges, a mom to three kids (Morgan, Jason and Lori), all of whom Steve adopted. Marjorie — seen here showing off her new ring at the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans on July 6, 2007, after quietly tying the knot with Steve in Hawaii — is a designer and fashion blogger who also runs the nonprofit Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation. "I married a person who was already happy, and I'm innately happy. So we don't have to make each other happy; we can just complement each other's happiness," he told Good Housekeeping in 2013, adding, "The trick to ending an argument with my wife is to shut up and give up, because she's going to win anyway."

_

Golf lover Steve Harvey (seen here on the green in Bermuda on Oct. 5, 2007) has for years hosted the Steve Harvey Invitational Golf Classic to raise money for his family's nonprofit charity organization, which promotes educational enrichment, mentoring and global service initiatives for children and young adults.

_

"Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man," Steve Harvey's 2009 self-help book for women, riffed on relationships, intimacy, commitment and how to successfully navigate a relationship with a man. It spent 64 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list, including 23 weeks at No. 1. It also led to the 2012 romantic comedy "Think Like a Man," which featured characters following advice from the book.

_

Despite his growing success on film and TV, Steve frequently returned to the stage for stand-up shows (like the "Tear Your Mouth Out" tour, shown here in Los Angeles on March 20, 2010) before retiring from stand-up comedy with a two-hour act at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Aug. 2, 2012. A decade later in January 2022, he told reporters at the Television Critics Association press tour why he quit stand-up: "If I had tried to continue… there's no way I could maintain it. Political correctness has killed comedy. Every joke you tell now, it hurts somebody's feelings," he said, adding, "The only way I can do one more special is if it's at the end of my television career because it will end my television career. We're in the cancel culture now. No stand-up that is sponsor-driven can say anything he wants to."

_

After the massive success of his 2009 book "Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man," Steve Harvey penned "Straight Talk, No Chaser," which was published in 2010, and "Act like a Success, Think like a Success: Discovering Your Gift and the Way to Life's Riches," which came out in 2014.

_

When he isn't working, one of Steve Harvey's biggest priorities is the Steve and Marjorie Harvey Foundation, a philanthropic organization that provides a wide range of youth outreach services including hosting a yearly camp for fatherless children and partnering with Steve's alma mater, Kent State University, to provide scholarships. Steve — pictured with wife Marjorie at the foundation's second annual gala in New York City on April 4, 2011 — hosts dinners, golf tournaments and other events to raise money for the organization.

_

In Steve Harvey's world, philanthropy is a family affair. Steve (seen here in April 2011 at his charitable nonprofit's annual gala with wife Marjorie Harvey, fourth from left, and six of their blended group of kids and stepkids, from left: Wynton Harvey, Karli Harvey, Morgan Harvey, Lori Harvey, Brandi Harvey and Jason Harvey) has said, "Any man can be a father; it takes a special man to be a Dad."

_

When Steve Harvey received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on May 13, 2013, he had an assist from some famous friends: Ellen DeGeneres, Dr. Phil McGraw and unofficial photographer Samuel L. Jackson.

_

Survey says…! Steve Harvey began hosting the popular game show "Family Feud" in 2010 and in 2015 added its spinoff, "Celebrity Family Feud," to his full dance card.

_

It was the mistake seen around the world! As host of the Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas on Dec. 20, 2015, Steve Harvey read the final results wrong and named the first runner-up, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez, as the winner. A few minutes later, Steve announced that Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach (inset photo, far right, after getting the crown from 2014 Miss Universe Paulina Vega, center, who took it from Miss Colombia, far left) was actually the new Miss Universe. He later tweeted an apology to both contestants.

_

Steve Harvey and Ellen DeGeneres co-created and produced "Little Big Shots," a variety series featuring Steve as its host who chatted with kids who demonstrated their special talents. The show premiered on NBC in March 2016 and Steve (seen here with little Ryusei Imai during the first season) hosted until season 4, when Melissa McCarthy took over hosting duties.

_

Buh-bye, oversized suits in drab neutrals! Over the years, Steve Harvey (pictured with wife Marjorie Harvey at the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week on Oct. 4, 2016) has undergone a serious style evolution. Steve, who delights followers by posting frequent photos of his colorful outfits on social media, in November 2021 launched a menswear collection designed by his stylist, Elly Karamoh. "My new clothing line @HbySteveHarvey is coming," Steve captioned a photo where he modeled an electric blue ensemble.

_

Steve Harvey got back to his roots in December 2016 when he hosted two revival specials of "Showtime at the Apollo," the variety show filmed at the famed New York City theater, 23 years after landing his first big gig as host of the syndicated show in 1993.

_

Look at that crew! Steve Harvey — father of seven and grandfather of seven — often posts about his gorgeous, growing family, like this pic he reposted on Dec. 1, 2017, from stepdaughter Morgan Hawthorne's Instagram.

_

In 2017, Steve Harvey mixed up the formula of his kid-focused variety show "Little Big Shots" and hosted "Little Big Shots: Forever Young," where the performers with hidden talents were in their golden years.

The Dec. 31, 2017, special was FOX's most watched New Year's Eve broadcast to date.

Celebrate Molly Ringwald's 54th birthday with a look at the most wonderfully wacky celeb style moments from the '80s

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Feb. 19, 2022February 19, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 5:10am PST, Feb 19, 2022

_

We're wishing the happiest of birthdays to the ultimate screen queen of the 1980s, Molly Ringwald! The actress turns 54 on Feb. 18, 2022, but she'll forever be 16 — as in "Sixteen Candles" — in our minds. To applaud her eternal style, Wonderwall.com has rounded up some of the wildest and wackiest fashion moments of the decade on everyone from Michael Jackson to Princess Diana. First up, though, we're celebrating our fave "Breakfast Club" b-day girl… Molly rocked an ensemble inspired by her on-screen alter ego while promoting her iconic 1986 romantic-comedy-drama "Pretty in Pink."

Keep reading for more…

_

It was a corset top and biker shorts for Demi Moore at the 61st Annual Academy Awards in Los Angeles in 1989! With a gold lamé train resembling oh-so-decadent bedroom curtains, signature '80s pumps and biker shorts, girlfriend had it going on!

RELATED: 2002 fashion flashback

_

Of all the famous men of the '80s, Elton John probably nailed the vibe of the decade best in the wardrobe department! He's seen here exiting his 1984 Valentine's Day wedding in Sydney, Australia — he married recording engineer Renate Blauel when he was an openly bisexual star years before coming out as a gay man — looking casually wacky in short-shorts and (of course!) a hat and glasses.

_

Richard Gere and Debbie Harry were quite the pair at the Art Against AIDS benefit in New York City in 1987. He looked effortless and hot in a blazer and polo shirt while she went for a technicolor three-piece suit in a trippy print.

_

This roundup wouldn't be complete without Michael Jackson and his single glove! He's seen here at a Martell Foundation dinner in 1984 rocking it with a gold sequined suit, a red sequined tie and his signature aviator shades.

_

Who could forget the singing Jackson siblings including sisters Janet Jackson and La Toya Jackson?! The beautiful duo attended the 1983 R&B Awards looking about as indicative of the 1980s as humanly possible. Janet wore a menswear-inspired suit and a white blouse with a cherry red collar (and a matching lip!) while La Toya wore a white-and-silver sequined gown replete with a matching rhinestone headband.

_

Cyndi Lauper's clothing archives most certainly give Molly Ringwald a run for her money! The "Girls Just Wanna have Fun" singer pulled off the weirdest of weird like no other! She's seen here in London in 1983 in a hodgepodge of prints, accessories, wild eyeshadow shades and, of course, giant flame-hued hair.

_

Looking like a complete babyface at the "Dragnet" premiere in Los Angeles in 1987, Alyssa Milano rocked a signature pink '80s harem pantsuit with a floral bodysuit and flats. Even though she could pull anything off, we pray this trend never returns.

_

Grace Jones came in hot to the 25th Annual Grammy Awards in 1983! She looked fierce in skin-tight purple leggings with a matching vest with red accents but her headpiece was the real scene-stealer of this show.

_

Grace Jones kept to the same color scheme at a Grammys afterparty in '83, but just when you thought it couldn't be possible, she turned up the volume on her makeup and headwear game with some seriously creative moves.

_

With perhaps the highest, curliest ponytail of all time, fashion star Sarah Jessica Parker was a quintessential '80s girl in an oversized blazer, baggy jeans and scrunch socks while out and about in Los Angeles in 1980. Even a modern-day Carrie Bradshaw would be so proud!

_

No one mixes prints like Madonna in the '80s! She's seen here performing for an Oakland, California, crowd in a smattering of colors, prints, textures and accessories. She's a true piece of art!

_

Cher is another fashion icon of this decade who is absolutely, positively unrivaled. She's seen here at the 1986 Oscars in one of her most legendary looks — full noir regalia with sequins, feathers, silk and chains included. Please tell us someone saved this Bob Mackie look in a warehouse somewhere!

_

In 1985, "Miami Vice" star Don Johnson was Mr. Cool in a head-to-toe linen look with a dapper fedora. So suave!

_

If anyone could pull off this decade's fashion with panache, it was royal style icon Princess Diana. The late Princess of Wales looked stunning in an emerald sequined gown with a plunging neckline and oversized sleeves at a charity performance of "High Society" in 1987.

_

Looking wacky as ever, Boy George attended an AIDS benefit in Los Angeles in the '80s wearing overalls and a smiley-face shirt with suede work boots and a scarf. Hopefully, someone later burned this look!

_

It was a Roy G. Biv moment for Melanie Griffith at the 44th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Los Angeles in 1987! This strapless sequin stunner might actually pass as cool vintage now? We definitely approve of the pixie cut though!

_

What was better — Prince's moves, music or epic wardrobe? He's seen here performing in 1984 in a paisley-print suit with a ruffled jabot looking much more like a king.

_

In 1989, Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz stepped out on the town looking quite gorgeous and artsy. The thing about this former couple is that they've always dressed for themselves and it's its own sort of timeless.

_

Olivia Newton-John shimmy-shimmy-shaked in a hot pink onesie with beaded fringe at the taping of her ABC Television special "Olivia Newton-John: Hollywood Nights" in 1980. Now this look definitely makes us want to boogie!

_

Looking gorgeous and statuesque, music icon Whitney Houston wore a skin-tight zig-zag-embellished cocktail dress to the 30th Annual Grammy Awards in 1988. We think this was what they called "'80s chic."

_

DJ Jazzy Jeff and "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" star Will Smith were hands-down the best dressed duo of the decade! They're seen here in 1989 chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool in primo outerwear.

_

Joan Jett is another rocker who will forever be remembered not only for her music but her crazy '80s style. She rocked a giant black studded blazer atop red python pants paired with embellished cowboy boots at the "Light of Day" movie premiere afterparty in New York City in May 1986 — and she didn't forget to pile on the jewelry, baby!

_

Howie Mandel was a dapper '80s dude and his look at the premiere of his music video "A Fine Mess" in 1986 was certainly no exception! The comedian looked so handsome that we can forgive him for his dusty-blue grosgrain suit and metallic shirt.

_

Couldn't you guess the decade in an instant when glancing at this supermodel shot? Iman and Cindy Crawford cuddled up in their oversized clothes at the Love Ball AIDS benefit in 1989.

Public health department dissed Nicki Minaj over infamous impotency tweet

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 18, 2022February 18, 2022

Bang Bang! A government agency took a swipe at Nicki Minaj this week over her infamous tweet last year connecting the COVID-19 vaccine to impotency.

On Feb. 16, the "Moment 4 Life" singer cryptically tweeted, "Nothing like watching someone speak confidently about something they know nothing about."

Broadimage/Shutterstock

Nicki didn't explain what her message was pertaining to, but the Philadelphia Public Health Department saw her tweet as an opportunity to pounce and throw one of her old messages back in her face.

Back in September 2021, Nicki caused quite the stir over her position on the COVID-19 vaccine, and it had to do with, among other things, her cousin's friend's testicles and a canceled wedding.

"My cousin in Trinidad won't get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent," she wrote. "His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you're comfortable with ur decision, not bullied."

👀 https://t.co/btZmhv8YqX pic.twitter.com/58m6X1tFU6
— Philadelphia Public Health (@PHLPublicHealth) February 18, 2022

The Philadelphia Public Health Department replied to Nicki's new tweet with a screenshot of her viral message from last fall — as if to say she was guilty of speaking confidently about something she knew nothing about.

Back when Nicki made her bizarre claim, it got so much attention that health officials in the United States and Trinidad had to publicly debunk them. As if this wasn't confusing enough, Nicki later encouraged people to get the vaccine if their job required it and said she'd likely get the shot before her next tour.

Ben Stiller explains why he's taking a break from acting

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 18, 2022February 18, 2022

Ben Stiller's interest in being behind the camera has taken presence over his on-camera desires.

Over the past few years, the "Dodgeball" star has been MIA on the big screen, slowly becoming more of a director and producer. The purpose, he says, was for work-life balance.

Drew Altizer Photography/Shutterstock

"I think, for me, over the years, I've gotten better at it and really understanding how to prioritize what's important in my life, on both sides. But it's definitely been a challenge for me, for a long time," Stiller told Yahoo! Entertainment.

Part of his shift came after projects such as "Reality Bites", "The Cable Guy" and "Zoolander," which he directed and starred in.

"I really decided recently, or probably about five years ago, that I didn't wanna do that anymore and just do one thing at a time," he said. "And lately I've been exploring projects [and] making things as a director and producer, and I've been very happy with that. But I really do look forward to acting again one of these days."

Rob Latour/REX/Shutterstock

In 2018, Ben was nominated for an Emmy for directing the limited series "Escape at Dannemora." His company, Red Hour Productions, has produced films like "The Polka King", "Plus One" and the CW Series "In the Dark." He's also directing a new dark comedic thriller on Apple TV+ called "Severance."

"It's been a few years [since I acted]," Ben said. "It hasn't been totally intentional except I really do enjoy directing and producing. I am getting to the point now where I am kind of missing acting a little bit and would like to figure out how to do something again."

Niall Horan publicly thanked a British Airways flight crew for helping after he became "extremely ill" during a flight from Los Angeles to London.

The One Direction singer didn't go into details, but tweeted, "Thank you to the staff on that @British_Airways flight. I was extremely ill and they took such good care of me."

The airline responded back, "Thanks for your lovely comments about the care you received from our crew on your flight, Niall. We'll be sure to pass on your thanks to them."

Niall had been in Los Angeles taking in Super Bowl LVI at SoFi Stadium. He was heading back to England for an appearance on RTE's Late Late Show.

Others passengers on the intercontinental flight were aware of Niall's presence, with one telling the Daily Mail that nothing seemed amiss while boarding or during the early portion of the 5,450-mile journey.

"He seemed fine when boarding and early on in the flight, but later on had wet, cold towels around his head and neck. On final descent he was vomiting quite violently," the source said. "The crew were indeed superb, could not have done any more for him, and called ahead for BA Special Services to meet him on the plane and escort him through the border and to baggage reclaim."

The source said Niall seemed okay once he was on solid ground.

"He actually very kindly signed an autograph for me to give to a friend whilst we were waiting for our bags, and could not have been more polite and welcoming," the source said. "He seemed a little bit better at baggage reclaim."

Minnesota cop sentenced in Daunte Wright's killing: See how Hollywood reacted to the shooting death

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Feb. 18, 2022March 1, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 10:12am PST, Feb 18, 2022

On Feb. 18, former Minnesota cop Kim Potter was sentenced to two years following her conviction in the death of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old unarmed Black man who was fatally shot during a traffic stop. Kim, a 26-year veteran of the force, intended to draw her taser during the stop but instead grabbed and fired her handgun. On the heels of the sentencing, many stars shared their outrage on social media, expressing their beliefs that the judge went far too easy on someone convicted of first-degree manslaughter and second-degree manslaughter (prosecutors recommended a seven-year sentence). To mark the sentencing news, join Wonderwall.com as we look back at how Hollywood stars and other famous faces reacted to the April 11, 2021, shooting death, starting with Beyonce, who mourned Daunte in a simple but powerful post on her website that read, "REST IN PEACE DAUNTE WRIGHT."

"Look at this kid. With his kid. Where is the compassion? Where is the benefit of the doubt?? #Dauntewright you deserve better. We deserve better… god bless your family and u little one" –Jamie Foxx, alongside a photo of Daunte Wright and his 1-year-old son

"1. He should not have resisted arrest. 2. She should be charged. Two things can be right at the same time" –Kevin Sorbo

"Now I'm seeing this! Here we are saying prayers for ANOTHER family because ANOTHER reckless officer exposed themself at the expense of ANOTHER Black human being. I'm so sorry Daunte Wright You are so much more than…ANOTHER. I will NEVER get used to this" –Regina King

"Either the officer who shot and killed Daunte Wright did so with intent, or she did it by accident but with reckless disregard for the safety of another human being. Either way, she has no business being on the police force. How would any citizen ever feel safe around her?" –George Takei

"Maybe if the police weren't so quick to draw any weapon, then maybe people wouldn't die because of a mix-up. Don't you find it amazing that cops think everything is a gun, except their own gun? If you have a cellphone in your hand — 'Oh, that's a gun.' If you're holding a wallet, 'Oh that's a gun.' Their own gun? No, not a gun." –Trevor Noah on "The Daily Show with Trevor Noah"

"#DaunteWright should still be alive. My heart goes out to his family, his friends. And to all Black people who are tired of waking up to tragedy after tragedy." –Kerry Washington

"Why the f would the #BrooklynCenter cop even think they needed to TAZE #DaunteWright in the first place? Of course no one is going to buy the 'oops, I thought my gun was merely a taser'. But to even try to justify tasing this young man is ridiculous." —Kathy Griffin

"We cannot get comfortable! May God bless the soul of Daunte Wright." –Common

"There are no accidents in police terror and white supremacy. Say his name. #DaunteWright @Blklivesmatter" –Mayim Bialik

"Daunte Wright was 20 years old, out driving with his girlfriend in his new car. MN cops pulled him over because he had an air freshener on his rearview mirror- moments later he was shot and killed. Meanwhile white mass shooters are consistently arrested unscathed. Say his name" –Padma Lakshmi

"R.I.P. Daunte Wright…. SMFH Minneapolis police have shot & killed a 20 year old black child over an insurance card." –The Game

"There has to be a better way. If there isn't then we gotta make one. #DaunteWright" –Ray Fisher

"In 3 days, we've seen: heart-wrenching testimony in #DerekChauvin trial; Lt. Nazario being pepper-sprayed for a minor traffic stop; #DaunteWright being shot in another minor traffic stop. Yet, some still don't want to understand why people kneel and say, 'Black Lives Matter'…" –Ana Navarro-Cardenas

"Our hearts are heavy over yet another shooting of a Black man, Daunte Wright, at the hands of police. It's important to conduct a full and transparent investigation, but this is also a reminder of just how badly we need to reimagine policing and public safety in this country." –Former President Barack Obama (read his full statement here)

"Today I'm thinking about Daunte Wright and his family — and the pain, anger, and trauma that Black America experiences every day. While we await a full investigation, we know what we need to do to move forward: rebuild trust and ensure accountability so no one is above the law." –President Joe Biden

"Daunte Wright's life mattered. An investigation must yield answers and justice for his family. #BlackLivesMatter" –Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton

"Daunte Wright should still be alive. This epidemic of injustice that Black Americans face daily must end. His life mattered. #BlackLivesMatter" –New Jersey Senator Cory Booker

Crystal Hefner felt 'exploited like never before' in Playboy Mansion

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 18, 2022February 18, 2022

Crystal Hefner was the victim of "power, greed and narcissism" while living in the Playboy Mansion, and she's finally ready to tell her story.

Crystal, Hugh Hefner's widow, is planning to write a book about her experience behind the gates of the famed estate.

"I was part of Hugh Hefner's world for over a decade. By the time I left it had been a third of my life," she said in an Instagram post. "I was with him through wild times, calm times, and all the times in between up until the day he passed away in September 2017."

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Crystal Harris (@crystalhefner)

Since Hef's death at the age of 91, Crystal has retreated a bit from the spotlight, both in person and on social media. She was also not ready to speak publicly about life as Hef's much younger wife.

"I chose to be more private over the years because I'm an introvert at heart and while the mansion in some ways was a sanctuary in other ways I was exploited like never before," she said. "I've been on the fence about telling my story because it's complicated and conflicting in ways. But I think the best way to tell it is to be 100% honest and transparent so my lessons can hopefully help you too. I will tell you about my life and how my upbringing and years leading up to the Halloween party where I met Hef was the perfect storm that whisked me through those gates."

Kevan Brooks/Admedia/Sipa/Shutterstock

Married to the Playboy magnate from 2012 to 2017, Crystal revealed she's sought the advice of many therapists over the years, with one of them telling her, "It's like you went trick or treating at a house and then wasn't let back out for ten years."

Although Crystal, 35, didn't say she was a Playboy prisoner, as the quote somewhat implies, she noted that that notion of not being "let back out" wasn't far off.

"I'm ready to tell my story. I'm ready to tell you what it was really like. How my personal path lead me to Hef's 'shangri la' and what I wish every woman would know," she said. "I will share how power, greed, narcissism, and a girls quest to feel loved, powerful, important and have a sense of belonging led her down a dangerous path."

The model continued, "More than anything, I longed for freedom from what I found myself in. And after experiencing the grueling opposite for ten years, I finally found it."

MediaPunch/Shutterstock

Crystal, who says she's "still trying to heal" from her journey, has been in a longterm relationship with artist Ryan Malaty.

More than four years after this death, Hef's life has been thrust into the limelight due to A&E's "Secrets of Playboy" series, which largely casts the legendary publisher in a negative light.

Jake Gyllenahaal shades Swifties while finally addressing 'All Too Well' drama, plus more celeb news

Jake Gyllenahaal finally addresses Taylor Swift and the 'All To Well' drama

In the wake of Taylor Swift's release of her new, longer version of "All Too Well" — a song long believed to have been inspired by her 2010 relationship with the actor — Jake quietly turned off his Instagram comments. The move signaled a response, of sorts, to fans' reaction to the song, which seemed to reveal more about the failed romance. He said nothing else publicly about the matter at the time. But he addresses it in a new interview with Esquire. "It has nothing to do with me. It's about her relationship with her fans," he explained in the piece, published Feb. 17. "It is her expression. Artists tap into personal experiences for inspiration, and I don't begrudge anyone that." Pressed on how whether commenters' criticism of him "affected his life," he put the problem in high-level terms. "At some point, I think it's important when supporters get unruly that we feel a responsibility to have them be civil and not allow for cyberbullying in one's name," he said. "That begs for a deeper philosophical question. Not about any individual, per se, but a conversation that allows us to examine how we can — or should, even — take responsibility for what we put into the world, our contributions into the world." Asked if he's listened to "Red (Taylor's Version)," the album the song appears on, Jake says simply, "No."

Britney Spears invited to discuss conservatorship on Capitol Hill

Last year, a group of Congress members expressed interest in bringing Britney Spears to Capitol Hill to discuss her conservatorship battle. Now that the conservatorship has been terminated, Britney sounds somewhat open to the idea. On Feb. 16, the singer shared a photo of a formal invitation from Rep. Charlie Christ and Rep. Eric Swalwell "to meet with us in Congress … to describe in your own words how you achieved justice," as "we would appreciate learning more about the emotional and financial turmoil you faced within the conservatorship system." The letter also assured her, "There is no doubt that your story will empower countless others outside the millions that are already inspired by you and your art." In a lengthy caption on Instagram, Britney explained: "I received this letter months ago … An invitation to share my story … I was immediately flattered and at the time I wasn't nearly at the healing stage I'm in now." She said receiving the invitation left her feeling "heard and like I mattered for the first time in my life." Later in her post, she wrote, "In a world 🌎 where your own family goes against you, it's actually hard to find people that get it and show empathy 🤷‍♀️🙄 !!!! Again, I'm not here to be a victim although I'm the first to admit I'm pretty messed up by it all … I want to help others in vulnerable situations, take life by the b**** and be brave 💪 !!!" Adding that she wishes she had been brave sooner, she explained she was just "so scared and nothing is worse than your own family doing what they did to me." Before signing off, she wrote, "I'm lucky to have a small circle of adorable friends who I can count on … In the mean time thank you to Congress for inviting me to the White House." Britney's fiance, Sam Asghari was along the many commenters on the post. "Your courage will inspire others, your strength will motivate many, your voice has and will change lives," he wrote. "You're powerful. Beautiful. And strong. This is why I call you lioness ♥️."

John Mayer explains why calls himself 'America's ex-boyfriend'

John Mayer has a new nickname for himself and it's not the most positive moniker. "I am America's ex-boyfriend," he says in a TikTok clip posted by Sirius XM Radio earlier this week. "I'm America's 'I can't,'" he continues, speaking to his close friend, Andy Cohen, in the interview. "I'm America's … Just, I'm JM. You know? I'm JM. I'm America's He Who Shan't Be Named," he explains. The singer and songwriter is presumably talking about his much-storied romantic past with a strong of high-profile women, including Jessica Simpson, about whom he infamously shared locker room-worthy details about in Playboy years ago, coining the phrase "sexual napalm," among others, to describe her. (Jessica wrote about her negative experience with John in her memoir; he has said he won't be reading it because he "lived it.") John's also been linked to Katy Perry, Jennifer Aniston, Jennifer Love Hewitt and other celebs. "I mean, if you think about it, I kind of am," he tells Andy in the clip of his "America's ex-boyfriend" status. "Because people are super into what I do and sometimes people don't follow me on Instagram … It's like, I mean, I love his music, but I can't give the follow."

Matthew McConaughey wants to hear from Channing Tatum on possible 'Magic Mike' return

As Channing Tatum prepares to shoot the third and final installment of "Magic Mike" in March, Matthew McConaughey is open to discussing a possible return to his Dallas character. Asked if he'd be reprising his role for "Magic Mike's Last Dance," Matthew recently told Variety, "Channing Tatum, call me, bro! I haven't heard from ya!" Later, he added, "I don't know. I'd have to read [the script] first. It was a helluva lot of fun doing the first one. The Oscar-winner's cautious interest comes after Channing told ET he "didn't know if Matthew would want to do it" this time, seemingly referencing the actor's decision not to return for the second movie, "Magic Mike XXL." "He loves what he did in the first movie so much. He was like, 'I don't want to touch it,'" Channing recalled to ET. "I mean, I'm not saying anything about mine or anyone else's performances," he added. "He was the star, he was the movie, it was special." The Steven Soderbergh-directed third installment is set to premiere on HBO Max. No release date has been announced.

Kristen Stewart on Dylan Meyer engagement: 'I just feel so happy and lucky'

It's a good time to be Kristen Stewart. The "Spencer" star just scored her first Academy Award nomination — she's up for best actress for her turn as Princess Diana in the film — and in November, she announced her engagement to screenwriter Dylan Meyer. But there's even more in the works for the 31-year-old, who recently told Vanity Fair she and Dylan, 35, are working on a TV series together. Kristen would ideally star in the show, but she was pleasantly surprised to find how well it went when the two tried writing together. "I love being engaged," she gushed to the outlet. It's different .… I just feel so happy and lucky." She went on to admit she was nervous about how working with Dylan would go. "You don't want that to affect this beautiful relationship you have," she said. It apparently went so well, however, that they finished writing the first episode in less than two weeks. "Like we discovered a superbrain," Kristen said, adding that Dylan is "a really, genuinely brilliant f****** screenwriter." Asked about a wedding timeline, Kristen said last month on "CBS Sunday Morning," "it'll happen when it's supposed to happen … but I also don't want to be engaged for, like, five years."

Robin Williams' daughter Zelda calls out Twitter users for misquoting her dad

Actress Zelda Williams is calling out social media users who misquote her late father, Robin Williams, which apparently happens all the time. Posting about her frustration with the phenomenon on Feb. 16, Zelda, 32, retweeted a meme that showed an image of her dad next to a quote that was wrongfully attributed to him. "Everyone who tweets this are actually quoting someone else. Pork rind. Hallways.' – Abraham Lincoln, probably," she captioned the sarcastic post. As the day went on, the shared other annoyingly incorrect quotes she's seen her father's name attached to. "To the dudes in my mentions saying 'he was being used as an example, not the person who said the quote!', nice try," she wrote, "but I've seen this so often, I'm pretty sure someone's Granny has it needlepointed on a pillow by now." Zelda must have gotten more pushback though, because she later shared: "I get that the 'I take other people's random memes and jokes from the internet and post them for retweets' guy isn't worth the battle. H***, I'm a sarcastic nihilist, none of this is — but man, it really does annoy me to see Dad repeatedly turned into a s***** yearbook quote." Finally, she conceded hers is a "unique … experience," since "very few people on this earth know what it's like to see their loved one turned into other people's ventriloquist dummies after they're gone …" Alas, by the next morning, she noticed the back-and-forth had "gone bonkers" the night before. "While all this was in support of Dad on my part, researching quotes and claims in general is always a good practice. If a quote is good enough, it won't need to be buoyed up by someone unrelated's face," she advised. It wasn't long before Zelda was dragged into defending herself against users who argued they should be able to quote her father at will. At one point she noted Robin "had a clause in his will prohibiting the use of his likeness" as proof he "would hate this s***." Shortly after that, she said she was taking a break from "this space" until things blew over. Robin Williams died in August 2014 while suffering from diffuse Lewy body dementia and depression.

Ed Sheeran gets a green light to build 'burial crypt' on his estate: Report

It's a happy birthday, indeed, for Ed Sheeran, who turned 31 on Feb. 17. That's thanks, in part, to the Grammy-winner's recent approval on his request to build a "burial chamber" on his massive estate in Suffolk, England. According to The Sun, Ed was already granted permission to "build a church in his garden," but he applied last month to add a 9-foot by 6-foot crypt beneath the church. None of this sits well with at least one neighbor, who complained formally in an effort to block the construction from taking place. "The area is well served by local churches and I feel there is no need for a well-known person to create his own island of calm when lovely places of worship abound in the area," a woman named Anna Woods wrote in a letter of objection, per The Sun. "I also note there will be a burial chamber in the building," Anna added. "Are celebrities now so detached from reality that their every living breath, and now even the act of dying, be apart from the rest of us?" Apparently so — because the outlet reports East Suffolk Council's environmental and conservation officials gave Ed the go-ahead.

Rush Limbaugh's widow remembers controversial radio personality one year after his death

On the first anniversary of Rush Limbaugh's death from lung cancer at age 70, his widow, Kathryn, appeared on "Fox & Friends" to discuss her husband's controversial legacy. "[He] always led us to believe that America's best days are ahead. He would say I'm just a voice on the radio, but he was so much more. I call him America's Winston Churchill," Kathryn, 45, said on the Fox show on Feb. 17, according to People. Despite his long history of making racist and misogynistic comments, Rush developed a massive audience over his many years on the air. "[He was] always mentally engaged, whether it was watching a television program or reading his iPad," Kathryn also said on the show. "He always said that life is show prep and I think it was very much, in his case." Asked how she's faring since his death, she said, "I'm doing well for the most part. It's been very difficult but knowing how many people are out there praying for me, praying for Rush, I very much think this was the nation's loss." She also noted she believes "he would be rather furious" about the state of the U.S. in 2022. "He would be upset with the United States not being as strong as it has been and should be. I know he would say it's not time to panic," she shared.

50 Cent hits back at fat shamers after Super Bowl performance

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 17, 2022February 17, 2022

50 Cent isn't letting social media trolls get the best of him.

Here's the skinny: Twitter light up immediately following 50's surprise performance at Super Bowl LVI, and many of the comments pertained to the rapper's physique. Quite a few of them were not so kind.

JOHN G MABANGLO/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock

On Feb. 17, the 46-year-old clapped back at the haters, and said the comments don't really affect him.

"I call this teasing me, They're just teasing me because they know i can drop the weight," he wrote on Instagram. "That's why i laugh with them. Fat shaming only applies when your ashamed of your fat. LOL."

https://www.instagram.com/p/CaFJpSGuhu6/

A swath of the "Candy Shop" artist's 27.5 million followers applauded the post and told him he's not overweight.

"50 looks better than most men who are 46. You guys are confusing 25year old 50, with 46 yr old 50. We all age, he looks great for a guy 36 much less 46," one supporter said.

Amid all this, 50 has actually been capitalizing on the social media attention. Knowing that more eyes are on his Twitter right now, he promoted his new line of G-Unit streetwear on Tuesday.

Naturally, someone ridiculed that, too.

"Do u have any 4XL's left or did u take them all?," one person wrote, not realizing there's a fat chance his words will phase 50.

Nick Cannon not surprisingly believes monogamy isn't 'healthy'

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 17, 2022February 17, 2022

Nick Cannon thinks it's "selfish" to date one person exclusively.

The "Wild 'n Out" host's mentality is hardly surprising, given that he's on the verge of welcoming an eighth child with a fifth woman.

"I don't think monogamy is healthy," he said on "The Language of Love" podcast with Dr. Laura Berman. "I feel like that gets into the space of selfishness and ownership."

Andy Kropa/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

In fairness, Nick, 41, believes vows are sacred, and marriage should be monogamous. Other than that, though, it's all fair game.

"Married is not single. When you allow the government and paperwork to come in and say, 'This is a bond, this is a covenant' … you're not single," said Nick, who was previously married to Mariah Carey from 2008 to 2016.

"You can still make covenants without getting the government involved, where two people say, 'We choose to be monogamous because we value this so much, we don't want anyone to be a part of this energy we have,' and I don't feel like that's healthy," he added.

Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Back when it was revealed that the "Masked Singer" host was welcoming his seventh child, he insisted that all his children were planned, something he still maintains.

"I'm going to take full responsibility. Any woman that I know that I have unprotected sex with, there's the potential to have a child," he said. "So I feel like if I have unprotected sex with anyone I know – because one, I value everything about me so much, if I've gotten to that point where I say, 'I can take off this condom,' I'm gonna say, 'She could be the mother of my child.'"

Ironically, Nick added that he is "the biggest germ freak in the world," so he's conscious of who he has unprotected sex with.

Nick welcomed twins Moroccan and Monroe with ex-wife Mariah Carey in 2011. He and beauty queen Brittany Bell welcomed son Golden "Sagon" in 2017 and daughter Powerful Queen in December 2020. He then had twin sons Zion Mixolydian and Zillion Heir with DJ Abby De La Rosa in June 2021. He also welcomed his late son Zen with model Alyssa Scott also in June 2021.

Jen Shah wants to keep 'Housewives' footage from entering fraud trial

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 17, 2022February 17, 2022

Jen Shah doesn't want reality becoming a part of her upcoming fraud trial.

Page Six reported that Jen, via her team, filed court documents asking a judge to exclude any footage of "The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City" from airing in the courtroom.

Rick Bowmer/AP/Shutterstock

"The defense opposes the use in evidence of any clips from the RHOSLC," her legal team said in a filing this week, adding that footage "would have to fall under one of the exceptions to the hearsay rule of evidence, as they are, by definition, out-of-court statements."

Further, her team argued that the popular show is "highly edited and crafted through post-production" and snippets "do not have any of the indicia of reliability."

In March 2021, Jen was arrested and charged with committing wire fraud and money laundering. Prosecutors alleged that she scammed hundreds of people, mostly the elderly, out of millions of dollars as part of a telemarketing scheme. She's pleaded not guilty.

The federal trial is set to begin on March 22 in New York City.

Chad Kirkland/Bravo

Jen, who's starred on Bravo show since its inception, has long flaunted her lavish life on "RHOSLC." Her team, though, maintained that Jen was incentivized to "exaggerate wealth and drama," claiming she was "playing that character on a show that has been highly curated and edited to satisfy its dramatic requirements."

Her team has also requested prospective jurors complete a thorough questionnaire about their knowledge of Jen or any of the "Housewives" franchises.

Jen's arrest was documented on the show last year, and it's been a focal point of the current season.

Chad Kirkland/Bravo

While appearing on "Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen" in September 2021, "Housewives" castmate Heather Gay said she felt Jen was doing something "unsavory" business-wise. In fact, Heather had always been confused about Jen's source of income.

"Jen was on my podcast and I asked her for, like, an hour, questions about her business, because I love business and I know how hard it is to make money in business," Heather said last fall. "It doesn't just flow. I never understood it, and I just assumed it was something that was right along the line of nothing I'd want to be involved in. I didn't know it was illegal."

"I didn't think you'd go to prison for it," she continued. "I would've said, 'Babe, don't do this. Your life is worth more than that.'"

'Yellowstone' star Forrie J. Smith won't attend SAGS over vaccine policy

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 17, 2022February 17, 2022

"Yellowstone" fan favorite Forrie J. Smith won't be alongside his co-stars at the Screen Actors Guild Awards due to the Covid vaccination requirement.

Although Forrie maintains he'd love to attend the feted affair to represent his "culture and heritage," no red carpet or awards show is worth a jab, he believes.

Cam McLeod/Paramount/Kobal/Shutterstock

"I want to apologize to y'all for not being at the Screen Actors Guild Awards," Forrie, 62, said in a since-deleted Instagram video posted on his account. "I mean no offense to anyone. I'm not vaccinated, and it's a requirement to be vaccinated at the Screen Actors Guild Awards ceremony."

"I'm not vaccinated, I will not get vaccinated," he continued. "I haven't been vaccinated since I was a little kid. I don't vaccinate my dogs, I don't vaccinate my horses. I've never had a flu shot. I never will. I believe they compromise your immunities… It's no offense to anyone. It's just my beliefs. I just don't believe in that stuff. Whatever."

The Paramount show, in which Forrie plays ranch hand Lloyd Pierce, is nominated for best TV drama ensemble.

Forrie had a recurring role for the first two seasons of the massively popular show, and he was promoted to series regular in the third season.

According to the SAG Awards' website, "All ticketed attendees will be required to show proof of vaccination plus booster shot (if eligible), proof of negative lab-based COVID-19 PCR test within 48 hours of event, and negative antigen (rapid) test the day of the event."

Chrissy Teigen trolls John Legend over Valentine's Day card, plus more news

By Wonderwall.com Editors 7:12am PST, Feb 17, 2022

Chrissy Teigen trolls John Legend for his Valentine's Day card

Back in 2020, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen celebrated their love with a Valentine's Day excursion aboard a private jet to a three-Michelin star-rated restaurant in California's Napa Valley. This year, however, Chrissy couldn't help but troll her husband after opening his V-Day card. Let's just say it had a little less "oomph" than you might expect from a Grammy-winning songwriter whose career was built on romantic, love-fueled ballads. The "Cravings" cookbook series author shared photo of herself laughing hysterically while she holds up the card on Instagram on Feb. 15. It was a plain white note with the typed words, "Happy Valentine's Day, My love!" John signed it with red heart, followed by "Johnny." In her caption, Chrissy wrote, "dead. I guess he saves it all for the songs." Fans apparently found the whole thing as funny as Chrissy did. "We appreciate your sacrifices for his music," one user joked. "So what is even the point of being married to john legend if this is what he comes up with for valentine's day? What is the point?!" another person asked. As more people chimed with sarcastic replies — "Omg. Best, Richard," someone teased — John eventually jumped in to defend himself. "You could at least show the beautiful flowers!" he told his wife of nearly a decade. Unfortunately for John, that didn't really stem the tide of comments from fans, a number of whom told him it was probably time to write Chrissy a song. Or, as one sarcastic user put it, "@johnlegend Yeah, show the pretty flower clip art on the back of the card AT LEAST!"

Mariah Carey posts couples selfie with Bryan Tanaka after Nick Cannon drops 'ode' to their failed marriage

It's been eight years since Mariah Carey split from her ex-husband, Nick Cannon. And while Nick was inspired to release a musical "ode" to his famous ex and their lost love over the weekend, Mariah's now making it clear she's very much still with her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka. Nick shared his new, Mariah-themed track — a ballad in which he says he wants her back (then croons about paying child support to the various mothers of his eight children) — on social media one day before Valentine's Day. One day after Valentine's Day, Mariah popped up on Instagram with a couples selfie that showed her cozying up to Bryan, her beau of six years. "Valentine's marathon continues. Hour 23!" she wrote alongside the pic, which marked Bryan's first appearance on her Instagram since 2021. Her fans don't think the timing was a coincidence. "Oh she DEFINITELY heard the song 😂 ily Mariah," one person replied in the comments. "Nick, stay away. She's happy! Nothing to be rekindled!" another wrote. "This pic was the response to that mess," said a third. For what it's worth, Nick, who shares 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mimi, does acknowledge Mariah's "got a man" and "it's a little late" in his new track. "First off, I'm gonna say I ain't got nothing but love for ya," he sings. "Nothing but love/Imma stay away …" Later, he admits, "As much as I want you back / It's probably better where you at." He then references the children he's had (plus the one on the way) with multiple women in recent years. "'Cause I'm still running the streets / I'm still all in the sheets," he sings. "Having babies, models and singers and actresses saying they pregnant by me / Have to pay $10,000 a week, I take care of my peeps / Now you don't worry when I creep / You got a man next to you when you sleep." Nick and Mariah tied the knot in 2008. They announced their separation in 2014.

Bob Saget's family wins temporary injunction to stop release of death investigation records

A judge in Florida has temporarily blocked the release of photos, video and other records pertaining to the comic's death after Bob's wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters filed a lawsuit requesting the injunction, ABC News reported on Feb. 16. The former "Full House" star, 65, was found dead on Jan. 9 in his Orlando hotel room. According to the local chief medical examiner, his death was caused by accidental head trauma. The injuries he sustained suggest he may have fallen backwards and hit his head on something shortly before his death, according to the report, which ruled out foul play. (A toxicology report showed no "illicit drugs or toxins" were in his body.) The Associated Press previously reported the medical examiner and sheriff's office had videos, photos and audio recordings from the scene of the death and the autopsy. While autopsy and other similar records are protected as confidential outside of family members in most cases in Florida, a court can approve requests to view or copy such records "upon a showing of good cause." In their suit, the family's lawyers argued they'd "suffer irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress if Defendants release the Records in response to public records requests or otherwise disseminate the records for any other reason or purpose." The suit also asserted "no legitimate public interest would be served by the release or dissemination of the records to the public," according to the AP. The court agreed. The day before the family's filing, Bob's daughter, Lara Saget, 32, shared an impassioned plea for privacy on social media, as she and her relatives grieve.

Kelly Clarkson jokes quarantining with her kids has 'broken' her

We feel you, Kelly Clarkson! Taraji P. Henson covered hosting duties for the singer on the Feb. 15 edition her eponymous talk show, because as Taraji told viewers, the show has "strict health protocols" and if you're exposed to COVID-19, "you got to stay home — even if you are Kelly Clarkson." Rather than try to host from afar while stuck at home with her kids, River, 7, and Remington, 5, Kelly video called in as a guest for a chat. Clad in a green robe, an eye mask and zero makeup, Kelly joked that things were getting a little dismal in quarantine, where River and Remington have the Disney movie "Encanto" playing on repeat. "Sometimes women don't rise, Taraji. Sometimes we fall," Kelly joked, according to ET. "I thought we were done with quarantining, and I'm so tired," she told her guest host. "I broke a nail. I'm so broken. This is me broken," she joked. "All my makeup is expired. America, this is what I look like. You're welcome." She explained that wasn't sick, she was just "keeping it safe." Kelly also admitted she's not exactly using the time at home to catch up on things like putting away the Christmas decorations she said her producers noticed were still on display in her house. "Look. It's busy!" she said with mock exasperation. "There's a lot going on. And so, I have not had time … I couldn't get the right containers. They're on their way and I'm going to put it up," she vowed. "But you know what, I've decided I'm probably going to keep the tree up and I'm just going to do different holidays, like Valentine's Day. I'm going to be that crazy person! But you know what, judge away, America!" she cracked, adding, "I'm used to it."

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley call it quits

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley have reportedly called off their engagement. According to a Feb. 16 report, People confirmed the split news, first reported by InTouch, with a source who explained the two remain "amicable," but "it just wasn't working." The insider cited the pair's separately "busy careers" and said "there were obstacles that they couldn't surmount." Shailene confirmed rumors she was engaged to the quarterback in February 2021. The next month, Aaron gushed about the engagement being "the best thing" he'd experienced in the past year. Still, reports they disagree on certain things related to politics and more surfaced repeatedly as time went on. Aaron has also faced backlash recently for saying he was "immunized" against COVID-19, when he was not vaccinated. "They will remain friendly," says People's source. "There's no bad blood and no drama."

Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz dish on their intense chemistry in 'The Batman'

Even at the first "chemistry read," "The Batman" director Matt Reeves says "everyone could see there was something really special between" Robert Pattinson, who plays Bruce Wayne and Batman in the new film, and Zoe Kravitz, who plays Catwoman in the upcoming film. Matt, along with Zoe and Rob, open about the stars' connection in a new cover story for Entertainment Weekly. "The chemistry read was really intense," Zoe recalls. "Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn't just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least." Rob, wasn't feeling much calmer than Zoe that day, as it turns out. "The first time I'd even said lines from the script was in Zoe's screen test," he tells the outlet. "They had this idea that they wanted me to be taller at the beginning, so I basically had high-heeled sneakers on, and I'm tottering around in this strange Batman outfit." He continues, "The camera's not even on me, it's on the back of my head, and I'm literally having this major panic attack, just looking for emotional support from Zoe, who's trying to get the part." She did, of course, and their chemistry continued as they filmed. "There could be a lot going on in a scene, but if I was able to connect with Rob and look into his eyes, it would immediately bring me into the moment," she explains. "I saw a look in his eye that I hadn't seen before. Seeing something new and very vulnerable as well was really beautiful." "The Batman" hits theaters March 4.

To play a boxer who becomes a priest, Mark packed on 30 pounds in just six weeks last year, which he previously said was because of the tight time frame he had to shoot the film. Speaking to the hosts of Australia's "The Kyle and Jackie O Show" this week, Mark, 50, reflected on the weight gain and the process of getting back to his usual, super-trim self. "I would say it's easier to stay in shape than it is to get in shape," he said (via Fox). "I put on 30 pounds … that was really difficult." Mark added, "I'm not getting younger." Though he'd initially told Jimmy Kimmel he was excited to eat things like Kentucky Fried Chicken and six-packs of beer to reach his goal, Mark later said on "The Tonight Show" things didn't work out quite as he'd hoped. "Unfortunately, I had to consume, for two weeks, 7,000 calories, and then for another two weeks, 11,000 calories," he explained at the time. "Even when you're full, I would wake up after a meal to have another meal. I was eating every three hours. It was not fun."

Sharon Stone reveals she still has the white dress from 'Basic Instinct'

Sharon Stone says she not only helped choose the now infamous white minidress and coat she wore in the most iconic scene of "Basic Instinct," she still has the outfit. Now 63, Sharon recently reflected on the role she landed at 32 and its effects on her career in an interview with InStyle. "I still have almost all of the wardrobe too. I've given some pieces away to charity, but so far, I've kept the white dress and coat," she shares, noting that people thought she "was crazy" for requiring in her contract that she could keep the clothing she wore in the film. "… But the truth is I wasn't getting paid much compared to my male co-star," she says,. "I made $500,000; Michael made $14 million. So keeping my costumes was a really smart thing to do." As for the interrogation scene, where she uncrosses her legs while staring down the detectives, Sharon says she figured, "The movie was a thriller and we were stopping the action to watch me sit still in a chair, so I thought the possibility of anybody giving two s**** about it was zero," but "it turned out to be a pretty big deal." During filming, she recalls, "… The director asked me to remove my underwear because he said the white was reflecting the light, so o I did. And the cinematographer told me that they couldn't see anything. In those days, the monitors were much less sophisticated than they are now, so even when they played it back for me, I didn't see any issues." Of course, more could be seen than she'd been told. "It would've been a much fairer and more reasonable thing for them to have shown it to me alone first, but it was a part of the movie, and I'm sure they didn't want some new actress overreacting and telling them what to do," she says. "So I talked to my lawyer, weighed my options, and then made the decision to allow the scene to stay. Looking back on it, I still think it was the right choice for the film, even if it took me a while to come to that conclusion." She also says she learned some important things as a result of the film: "I learned how frightening it can be not just for men but for society as a whole to see a woman access and own her power. I learned how to have a spine. I learned how to speak up for myself. And yes, I learned that I look pretty d*** good in white."

Eminem's daughter, Hailie Jade, posts scenic PDA pic with longtime beau

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 16, 2022February 16, 2022

Eminem's daughter has found her super man.

On Feb. 15, just two days after catching her famous father's Super Bowl halftime show, Hailie Jade Mathers posted a rare photo with her longtime beau, Evan McClintock. In the scenic image, the two share a kiss by the beach at sunset. The image appears to have been taken in Los Angeles.

"Yesterday & everyday," Haile, 26, captioned the sweet photo.

A post shared by Hailie Jade (@hailiejade)

Eminem's brother, Nathan Kane Mathers, showed that the family supports the years-long romance, commenting on the Instagram photo with fire and heart emojis. Some of Hailie's followers assumed that Em will soon release a diss track about Evan — those same people are unaware of the fact that the "Lose Yourself" rapper supports the relationship.

In 2018, Hailie said her dad is Team Evan.

"Of course, we are very close," she told The Daily Mail.

A source added, "Hailie's family have welcomed Evan, they are a fantastic young couple who love cozy nights in rather than hard partying."

Although she keeps her love life pretty private, Hailie has shared images with her handsome man before. The couple of six years were actually high school sweethearts. They also both attended Michigan State University.

Kim Zolciak-Biermann defends daughters from 'computer bullies' after plastic surgery accusations

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 16, 2022February 16, 2022

Kim Zolciak-Biermann fiercely defended her daughters from cyberbullies amid unconfirmed claims that the girls have gone under the knife.

On Feb. 15, the "Don't Be Tardy" star shared an image of daughters Ariana, 20, and Brielle Biermann, 24, at Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles. Kim likely assumed the response to the snap would be positive. While that reaction did happen, other Instagram users quickly accused Kim's girls of undergoing plastic surgery.

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kim Zolciak-Biermann (@kimzolciakbiermann)

"Wow I can't even post a picture of my beautiful baby girls @briellebiermann @arianabiermann without the nasty comments and assumptions!!," Kim said, acknowledging that her daughters read the Instagram comments. "Quite frankly I am appalled at the fact that some of you are flat out computer bullies that are bored to tears and have nothing better to do then to take time out of YOUR day to write something negative!"

In hoping to clear up the record, Kim said, "My daughters have NEVER EVER had work done other than their lips! PERIOD!!!!!!"

Brielle has denied getting plastic surgery in the past, too, chalking up her changing look to age.

@kimzolciakbiermann/Instagram

The former "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star said Ariana has worked out and eaten healthy to get her physique. Brielle, she said, couldn't chew food for months after having "major jaw surgery."

"So clearly Brielle lost weight during the process!!!! Nobody had liposuction that's obsurd!!," she persisted. "I know it's hard to believe they are that beautiful without any work done but can you believe they are even more beautiful on the inside!! TRUST THAT!"

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Kim Zolciak-Biermann (@kimzbiermann)

In ending her blistering message, which included recent and throwback images of the women, Kim implored haters to put positivity out into the universe.

"So next time you want to write a nasty rude comment … take a deep breath and remember what you give out in this world you get back double! It's simply a boomerang affect," she said. "Sending love and light to you all! It's obvious some of you really need it."

Justin Bieber's donut creation hugely boosts sales of beloved coffee chain

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Feb. 16, 2022February 16, 2022

Thanks to a donut hole line created by Justin Bieber, a beloved Canadian coffee chain is rolling in the dough.

The singer is being credited with massively boosting the bottom line at Tim Hortons due to his Timbiebs Timbits collaboration last year.

During an earnings call with investors, Restaurant Brands International, which owns the chain, reported that sales fell 11% in 2020, largely due to the pandemic. With the company grasping to stay afloat in 2021, The Biebs stepped in with his donut holes creations, which included flavors of white fudge, sour cream chocolate chip and birthday cake waffle. Since then, sales soared by 10.3%.

The company also sold merchandise to promote the collaboration. Merch quickly sold out, but apparel has since been restocked.

Restaurant Brands CEO José Cil said it was "one of the more successful traffic-driving initiatives in recent memory and outperformed our internal expectations." Once Justin promoted the sweet bites, the company saw an "unprecedented" increase in social engagement and visits by younger customers.

A post shared by Justin Bieber (@justinbieber)

"I'm a Belieber," José said, adding "You can expect to see more from this exciting partnership in the year ahead."

Last year when Justin teamed up with the coffee chain, he said, "I grew up on Tim Hortons and it's always been something close to my heart."
