Fresh from his victory as the last traitor standing in The Celebrity Traitors, and elevation to national treasure status, the Chatty Man is co-presenting Secret Genius with Countdown's dictionary-botherer, the lexicographer and author Susie Dent. On second thoughts, given the lead times for these things, this is probably better billed as What Alan Carr was contracted to do next but no matter. We are here to have fun and fun we shall!

They sat in their living room, covered in oversize portraits of their sons, and wondered just why their divorce filing was getting so many headlines. Was it a slow news day? They said that the road to heaven is paved with good intentions, when it is clearly the road to hell, and then they questioned why anyone would pave the road to hell.

Only a little bit, it's still a reality show, after all. For Love Is Blind's new season set in Ohio, 32 singles enter the pods to find love, and almost everyone, except two cast members, is in their 30s, compared to past seasons that had a fairly even split of singles in the mid-late 20s and early 30s. Season ten features doctors and executives, and according to Tudum, a bunch of Pisces men.

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

Historically, Andy Cohen has attempted to ban props at reunions since Kenya Moore's scepter and megaphone sparked a physical brawl. But every once in a while, we see that rule get bent, and, luckily for us, Angie managed to sneak her signature prop past security - not sunglasses, but a scroll that supposedly holds proof that Lisa Barlow is the one behind an anonymous troll account.

"You can think about the kind of people we're talking about - not criminals - who might need to redeem themselves in front of America,"

For most people playing or just watching The Traitors, each day is filled with physical and mental stress and anxiety. For Colton Underwood, it's just another day at work. "Everybody's like, 'That show had to be so hard and so intense,'" he tells Bustle over the phone. "I was like, 'Compared to the other shows I've done, Traitors was a cakewalk.'"

"This man is responsible for chirping in everybody's ear. And this man-after the challenge today-was openly in my face questioning me, and then when I walked away, he said my name out loud to a group of people. [He was] holding court, and this man should be keeping his mouth shut. Because last night, this man organized and colluded to get rid of a good Faithful. I'm angry, I'm pissed off, and I'm isolated because of him," Rapaport continued. "Nobody in this room would be better at holding a secret than you."

"When we left to get in the car to come to the premiere, I was saying that I really wish I could be in every one of these episodes," she said. "I definitely would love to keep at it. I think when people see this show, they will remember that I'm able to do stuff like this."

David Ortiz appeared on the show as "Googly Eyes," performing DJ Snake and Lil Jon's "Turn Down for What" while donning what host Nick Cannon said was the "biggest costume we've had on the Masked Singer" for "one of the biggest stars, of course."

Breaking news! This just in! The cast for Drag Race UK Vs the World season three has been confirmed, with an iconique newsroom-style promo. Here's the latest... Following in the footsteps of Drag Race UK vs The World season one (2022) and two (2024), season three is coming to our screens in just a few days time. The BBC has confirmed that the first episode will air on Monday 27 January at 9pm BST on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.

The Boyfriend is structured around queer men living and working together for two months. Throughout their time, they navigate love and friendship, which flits between sweet and intense. In the first season, the men lived in a beachside house. However, for season 2, Netflix is swapping the beach for the snow. The second season sees the men live in the winter landscape of Lake Akan in Hokkaido. This time, their group will work at a peppermint-coloured coffee truck.

Mild trash-talk, underwhelming spectacle and mind-numbing repetition add up to a punishing watch

Real Housewives of Orange County (RHOC) star Heather Dubrow has addressed rumours claiming her husband, Terry, is gay. Amid rumours circulating that Heather could be leaving the RHOC, which the reality TV star is yet to address, the wife of plastic surgeon and Botched doctor Terry has denied claims he's gay. Heather, 56, and Terry, 67, married in 1999 and have four children: daughter Max, who is bisexual, her twin brother Nick, lesbian daughter Kat, and Ace, who is trans.

On this episode of our favorite show, Rich Women Doing Things, the rich women did things! They compared their identical Birkins, each with a price tag, and we all wondered what exactly made one worth $32,000, one worth $30,000, and one worth $14,000, and why all of them were unclasped and hanging open like chastity belts on a wedding day. They went to a fancy china store with their fancy daughters to register for fancy gifts for their fancy wedding, which isn't even fancy-planned yet

As a former English literature major, I really thought I was above reality TV. I don't watch a lot of content, and when I do, I'm more of a "Game of Thrones" person than a "Real Housewives" person. I love analyzing themes, motives, and emotional arcs, and I assumed the Bravo franchise had nothing to offer but mindless drama. For years, I had avoided the shows and would usually leave the room when my teenage daughter turned them on.

Gizelle certainly doesn't care about being viewed as a mean girl or as a villain. She has accepted that as the Faustian bargain she agreed to in exchange for visibility and financial independence. But she does have her soft spots, namely around her inner circle and romantic life. Given her humiliating marriage and public relationship with Sheldon, it's not a surprise that she never wants to let a man embarrass her again.

It almost feels like cheating to be writing about her for Dirt Bag in 2025 but viewers of the creatively titled The Kardashians reality show ( Keeping Up With ... has been off the air for four years!) were treated to a revelation that many have long joked about or suspected: Kim has "holes" in her brain and "low activity" in her frontal lobe, according to celebrity doctor Daniel Amen, who scanned her and her ex-brother-in-law Scott Disick 's brains on a recent episode.

For years, any issues that came up during a reunion taping would be obliquely referred to as "last year in New York." After that we had "the blogs," also known as blind items being reported by micro-influencing regional gossip accounts. This phenomenon involved Housewives feeding information to these platforms in the hopes of having justification to talk about each other's business on-camera, schemes that folks like Lisas Rinna and Vanderpump were famed for participating in.

It is 40 years since TV juggernaut Blind Date first aired, and Sue and Alex Tatham were the first couple who met on the show to get married, in a ceremony broadcast to around 17 million people. They both said they didn't go on the show looking for love, but love was what they found, and they have now been married for 34 years.

Fruity Pebbles have become a new shibboleth in the ongoing feud between The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives stars Demi Engemann and Jessi Ngatikaura Draper. The two have been feuding all season because of what did (or did not) happen on season 2 of Vanderpump Villa with each of them and ex-Villa bartender Marciano Brunette. Brunette implied that he and Engemann hooked up, and whether or not Draper's affair with him was emotional or physical was a major plot point of SLOMW s2.
