Aroyal weddingis coming! Peter Phillips, the eldest grandson of the lateQueen Elizabeth IIandPrince Philip, is set to marry Harriet Sperling this summer, a spokesperson for the couple has confirmed.

Phillips is the son of Princess Anne and the Princess Royal's first husband, Captain Mark Phillips. Sperling, meanwhile, is a pediatric nurse and freelance writer.

Over the last couple of years, Sperling has accompanied Phillips to various public events, including Royal Ascot and Wimbledon. She has also attended royal gatherings—her most high-profile one being on December 28, 2025, when she joined the royals at the morning service at St. Mary Magdalene Church on the Sandringham Estate after Christmas.

Phillips and Sperling will wed in an intimate ceremony at All Saints Church, in Cirencester, England, on Saturday, June 6. And Phillips's senior royal relatives—including Prince William andPrincess Catherine—will likely attend.

"Both families have been informed jointly of the wedding date by invitation," the engaged couple's spokesperson said in a statement obtained byPeople. "Their Majesties The King and Queen, The Prince and Princess of Wales have also been informed of the announcement. Further details will be announced in due course."

This will be Phillips's second wedding. He was previously married to Autumn Kelly from 2008 to 2021, and they share two daughters, Savannah and Isla. (He is the first of his generation of the royal family to divorce.) Sperling is also a parent; she has a daughter named Georgia from a previous relationship.

What Jesse Solomon knew about 'Summer House' romance drama

Jesse Solomon is making his role in the ongoing drama between hisSummer Housecostars very clear.

When fans began questioning how much Solomon knew before Amanda Batula and West Wilsonconfirmed their rumored romanceon social media Tuesday, he stepped into the conversation to say he knew as much as anyone else.

Commenting on an Instagram post that asked if Solomon was theTom Schwartz to Wilson's Tom Sandoval, he said "I heard the rumors but they were denied to me multiple times. The post referenced Schwartz's part in "Scandoval," the frenzy that erupted after his business partner andVanderpump Rulescostar Sandovalcheated on his then-girlfriend of nine years,Ariana Madix, with their friendRachel "Raquel" Leviss.

Wilson and Batula confirmed their relationship in a joint statement on Tuesday, weeks aftergossip blog DeuxMoi reportedthat they were allegedly hooking up. The statement came a little over two months after Batulaannounced her splitfrom husband andSummer Housecostar Kyle Cooke.

While severalSummer Housecast members have weighed in on the situation on social media, Solomon has refrained from picking a side. But as another another Bravo star tells it, he'd been dropping hints that a big reveal was coming.

Stopping bySiriusXM'sSmiths Sisters Liveon Tuesday,The Valley's Zack Wickham said he heard Solomon's version of the story through the grapevine.

"I will say that one of our friends' cousins was on a vacation and met Jesse Solomon, and he just told her everything and then she told me," Wickham said. "So, I'm like, if what he told her is real, then brace yourselves, America."

Wickham then apologized for stirring the pot, adding, "Sorry Jesse, I didn't mean to throw you under the bus. I'm not saying anything publicly, but oh my God."

Cookerecently broke his silence about his ex's new relationship, saying that he was "more concerned" about his ex than his own feelings. The star claimed that Batula has been getting "cyber-bullied" by the show's viewers amid the drama of her and Wilson releasing their joint statement.

"I'm obviously frustrated, I mean we have a new show coming out and there's so much that gets unpacked there," Cooke told "street journalist" Adam Glyn. "I'm obviously disappointed in her... but just hearing her and hearing how unwell she is, and [her] dark thoughts, I just ask people to just, maybe, pull off the gas a little on the cyberbullying and hate."

Cooke said that he found out about the relationship "over the weekend" and got a heads-up before Batula and Wilson posted their statement. Cooke also shared that he's spoken to costar Ciara Miller — Wilson's ex — and that Wilson himself reached out with a "half-assed text message." He added that he doesn't "understand the timeline just yet" of when the pair got together.

Miller has not spoken out since Batula and Wilson confirmed their relationship, butshe no longer follows either costar on Instagram.

Howie Mandel Says He 'Didn't Mean to Embarrass Anybody' After Apologizing to Kelly Ripa for On-Air Moment

Howie Mandel is sharing more about his viral exchange with Kelly Ripa on Live with Kelly and Mark

NEED TO KNOW

• During a March 31 appearance on Hot Mics with Billy Bush, Mandel said he "didn't mean to embarrass anybody" after Ripa and Mark Consuelos commented on his appearance

• "I hope it ends soon because I didn't mean to cause any disruption," he said of attention on the interaction

Howie Mandel"didn't mean to embarrass anybody" after apologizing toKelly Ripaover their awkward on-airexchange.

The comedian, 70, appeared on a Tuesday, March 31 segment ofHot Mics with Billy Bush, in which he reflected on the aftermath of his recent viralLive with Kelly and Markmoment and apology video.

During the March 23 episode of Ripa andMark Consuelos' daytime talk show, Mandel had an awkward exchange with the hosts, who complimented Mandel's appearance and told him he looked "great" after discussing his age. Mandel argued that the compliment didn't "mean anything" as it came with a "caveat." Days later, he posted a video apologizing to Ripa and explaining that the comment was "meant as a joke."

Now, Mandel said he has regrets about sharing the Instagram post, adding that he "didn't mean to cause any disruption."

"Obviously I told a joke that didn't land well," Mandel said, as he appeared onHot Micswearing a new hairstyle and T-shirt of himself as a child.

He added, "Comedians always say, 'If you can make one person laugh, you're doing the job.' But apparently that's not enough... I'm reading and there's no stopping it and I don't understand. I tried to stop it. I tried to apologize. I agreed with people. I do."

Mandel then said he didn't "know" who got offended by the on-air moment, despite "reading the articles" online. "If somebody is offended, if somebody feels that I did wrong, then I apologize. I don't believe in apologizing but I said, as I said in that post — which, I kind of regret making the post," he said, before Bush asked him why.

"Because I don't think you should apologize for a joke," Mandel said. "And I do agree. People are saying it wherever I go now, I do think I look good. I don't even think the caveat is for 70. I just think I look good."

As Mandel put it, up until "a couple weeks ago," he didn't "really focus" on his appearance. "I feel bad," he said. "I don't know what's going on and I don't know when this will end. And I hope it ends soon because I didn't mean to cause any disruption. I didn't mean to embarrass anybody."

After Bush questioned the famously bald comedian about the "hair on your head" at the end of their discussion, Mandel jokingly sat in silence before storming out of the podcast studio and slamming the door on his way out.

In his apology video, uploaded on Saturday, March 28, the star said he doesn't think a comedian "needs to apologize for a joke" and that it's "hard" for him to do so publicly.

After apologizing to Ripa, Mandel called her "absolutely right." A few comedian friends sounded off about the ordeal in the comment section,as didLive with Kelly and Markexecutive producerMichael Gelman, who commented that Mandel indeed looks great "for your age."

Roseanne Barr fears she will 'die on the surgery table' after doctor told her she has a 'damaged' heart

Roseanne Barrisn't happy about a recent diagnosis from her doctor.

On a new episode of hereponymous podcast, the former sitcom star expressed interest in getting cosmetic surgery — before revealing that the procedure she wants won't be possible due to a recent health update.

"I want one of those ponytail facelifts," the 73-year-old actress said. "But this doctor says I have to go get my heart checked out because it's damaged."

Barr continued, "I'm so pissed because I'm like, 'I need a new doctor.' He's always sending me to other doctors to check me out, and I'm like, 'Why do I have to go find something wrong when nothing's wrong?' And then get in shape just so I can have surgery and die on the surgery table. I mean, well, it doesn't make any sense."

Despite pushback from her guest and longtime friend Shannon Hughey, the controversial actress lamented that she has no interest in future medical procedures and would prefer to live out her days in hospice care.

"I would rather not get ready for any sort of surgery ever again in my life and just get a heart attack or a stroke and then just be put into a home," Barr declared. "That is life: living in the hospice. That is where life is worth living, I've seen it."

After describing hospice as "the greatest thing ever," Barr explained, "They know you're dying and they give you morphine."

Barr did not expand on the details of her medical condition, and throughout the winding podcast episode, alternated between sipping red wine and smoking a cigarette.

Best known as the former lead of the long-running ABC sitcomRoseanne, Barr came under fire in 2018 after writinga racist social media postabout former Obama White House advisor Valerie Jarrett. ABC subsequently canceled the revival of her '90s sitcom and ordered a spinoff, The Conners, without Barr, which ran for seven seasons, ending last year. Barr has largely stayed away from Hollywood spaces since the controversy.

In June 2025, Barr opened up about embracing a quieter life in Texas, where she owns a 30-acre ranch that she tends to by trimming trees with a chainsaw and mowing her own property.

"I'm doing a lot of mowing. I've got a really fantastic tractor out here and I'm mowing," she toldFox News Digitallast year. "The only problem is I don't clear the trees quite as good as I should and I'm always hitting a tree and knocking it over, and it always hits me in the head."

She went on to share that she had recently suffered several injuries, explaining, "I had this one tree… I knocked it and a great big old branch fell right on my head and trapped me in my tractor. So, I knew I had to get out of there, and it weighed about a hundred pounds."

Barr shared that it took her an hour to move the tree "inch by inch" before she was able to flip it over and escape.

Prince Harry Speaks About His Lack of Privacy Since Birth

Yesterday, Prince Harry delivered a keynote address in Washington, D.C. at the International Association of Privacy Professionals (IAPP)'s Global Summit where he spoke about his relationship with privacy.

"At a time when there is so much devastation and suffering happening in the world, it might seem strange to be speaking about privacy," he began. "But I see it differently. I see privacy as a foundational issue—one that underpins trust, safety, and the stability of our societies. And getting this right will have global consequences."

Harry continued, "My connection to privacy, and the lack of it, begins in a different place than most. From birth," referencing the media attention surrounding his birth in 1984, when his parents then-Prince Charles and Princess Diana posed outsidethe Lindo Wingwith him as an infant.

The Duke of Sussex continued, "You may know that I've spent the past seven years in litigation against three media organizations in the UK over their systemic and unlawful invasions of privacy, as well as the cover up of it, dating back to the early 2000s. The worst examples of an industry that too often behaves as though it owns people's privacy—and feels it gets to decide what constitutes the public interest. Unfortunately, I have come to learn that this exploitation has become normalized."

As he detailed his fight against invasions of privacy, he said, "I have nothing to gain from taking on powerful institutions. In many ways, it's come at a personal and reputational cost for me, my wife, and our kids. But is it worth it? Absolutely. Because this is about more than one individual—it's about the systems that shape and influence all of our lives."

Harry also spoke about therecent Los Angeles trialin which Meta and YouTube were found negligent in harming a young woman through the design features on their platforms. "About bloody time!" he said in his speech. "A jury confirmed what parents have felt and experts have said all along—the systems driving our social media platforms have been built to exploit, not protect—and the people at the heart of it have always known it. Finally, some truth and accountability has arrived." The Prince also revealed he and Meghan Markle "had the opportunity to spend time with many of the parents in the Los Angeles case as it proceeded in the courtroom each day."

He concluded his keynote reflecting on his own life in the United States. "As a Brit living in the United States, I've been struck by the global reach of American tech," Harry said. "The standards set here increasingly define the digital environment everywhere—even in countries trying to protect their own citizens and their democracy. And when that influence scales faster than safeguards, the impact is felt far beyond U.S. borders."

As Archewell Philanthropies noted in apost on Sussex.com, the Duke of Sussex "called for brave leadership and a commitment to building systems where privacy won't just matter but will be impossible to ignore."

Dolly Parton Makes 'Generational and Transformational' Donation to East Tennessee Children’s Hospital Named After Her

East Tennessee Children's Hospital, which has been named after Dolly Parton, is praising her contributions to the institution

NEED TO KNOW

• According to East Tennessee Children's Hospital, the country legend donated "generational and transformational" amounts of money to the infirmary

• In February, Parton announced that the healthcare center was being renamed to Dolly Parton Children's Hospital

Dolly Partonis being praised for her generous contributions to East Tennessee Children's hospital, which is now named after her.

Following news that the health center would be renamedin honor of the country legend as Dolly Parton's Children's Hospital, its president and chief executive officer Matt Schaefer opened up about the "surreal moment" of receiving the "Jolene" hitmaker's donation.

In the interview withChief Healthcare Executiveon Monday, March 30, Schaefer praised Parton's "incredibly disarming personality."

"It was truly humbling, and to hear her, in her own words, talk about the importance of this to her, to her community, to this organization, and to children, was super affirming," he said of meeting Parton, 80.

Schaefer spoke about how, with the "9 to 5" artist's donation, he hoped to expand the hospital's roster of doctors, invest in new programs and technology and increase fundraising.

"I think anytime you have someone of her stature, someone of her standing, certainly in this region, across the United States, across the world, honestly, and to have the halo effect of everything she stood for in her life, including her love for children in particular, it just is fantastic for the future of our mission," he said of Parton.

While Schaefer played coy when it came to revealing the amount Parton donated, he said the sum was "generational and transformational."

"What I can tell you is that she has made a generational and transformational commitment to Children's and its mission, and that commitment is something that goes beyond our wildest expectations, that is beyond generous, and will be a lifeline for this mission for now and for years to come," he said.

Schaefer added, "And we're excited about and humbled by her willingness to do so."

He noted that having the hospital renamed after her will "allow them to tell a broader story about the depth and breadth of services here, to imagine how we can continue to expand those services, and it accelerates how we should think about what our responsibility is to the patients and families that trust us today and invariably will trust us tomorrow."

The partnership with Parton will "amplify and accelerate some of those initiatives in a way that we could not have done otherwise without that type of support and backing and awareness across the region, for providers, for clinicians, for patients, for families and for referring providers," added Schaefer.

In February, Partonshared an Instagram Reelannouncing that the East Tennessee Children's Hospital hasofficially been renamed the Dolly Parton Children's Hospital.

In a video message and collaborative post with theTodayshow and the official hospital page, she said, "I've always believed that every child deserves a fair chance to grow up healthy, hopeful and surrounded with love. That belief is what brought me together with the incredible folks at East Tennessee Children's Hospital."

Parton continued, "For nearly 90 years, their teams have provided compassionate and talented care. They see children not just as patients, but as precious lives. Each with a story, and a future. I am so excited to share, East Tennessee Children's Hospital is becoming ... guess what? Dolly Parton Children's Hospital. Yay!"

"Together, we're committed to strengthening our relationship where world class care and a caring heart go hand in hand for children across East Tennessee and beyond. And I hope that you'll join me in supporting this work," she said.

Parton concluded by telling fans that she will need the public's help.

"I can't do it all myself! I'm going to need you. So when we come together for our children, there's no limit to what we can do. To learn more or to get involved, visitDollyChildrens.org," she said.

See Frances McDormand and Joel Coen's Rare Family Photos as the Oscar-Winning Couple Celebrate 42 Years of Marriage

Frances McDormandandJoel Coenhave been a happy family for over four decades.

The power couple — with eightAcademy Awardsbetween them — married on April 1, 1984, a year after they met at her audition for his filmBlood Simple. In 1995, they adopted their son Pedro from Paraguay and raised him out of the spotlight.

"As a mother, you live on the edge of disaster," McDormand told theBelfast Telegraphin 2018. "You just do. I didn't give birth to my son, I met him at 6 months old, but from the minute I held him and smelled him, I knew it was my job to keep him alive."

Although the couple keeps their home life relatively private, the actress has brought Pedro to public events like film festivals and the Oscars afterparty (after she won her second Best Actress trophy).

As McDormand and Coen celebrate their 42nd anniversary, see the parents' rare photos with their beloved son.

To Your Benefit

Coen and McDormand had a family night out with Pedro in 2004 at the Calhoun School dedication and gala benefit in New York City.

The actress, looking at her husband and son with adoration, previously toldThe Tampa Bay Timesin 2000: "The reason I was born was to introduce Joel and Pedro together. The first time I saw them together I knew that's why I was born."

Got His Stripes

Prior to a 2005 event hosted by Coen and his brotherEthan, McDormand and Pedro were all smiles with producer Jay Allison and The Kitchen Sisters, Davia Nelson and Nikki Silva.

Yes, Chef!

Inside the event, Pedro donned a white chef's jacket as the mother and son prepped grilled cheeses.

All Grown Up

At the opening night party for her 2011 Broadway playGood People, McDormand received support from Pedro, now a teenager.

When in Rome

The three made a rare public appearance as a family at the 2015 Rome Film Festival, where the couple was set to speak during an onstage conversation.

Thanks to the Academy

Following her second Best Actress win in 2018 forThree Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, she shared her trophy with Pedro at the Governors Ball.

She revealed in a 2017New York Timesinterview that Pedro, then 24, had become a personal trainer and an occasional grip on Coen's film sets. (As of 2020, he works in public relations.)

"He lives four blocks away from our apartment in New York," the star toldThe Timesin 2017. "I run into him on the street, which is so fantastic."

Rest Your Head

She brought Pedro as her plus-one to the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards, and though he might be out of the house, McDormand and Coen are never too far away from their son.

Speaking toVoguein 2020, she revealed that Pedro had inherited her love of fashion.

"It's kind of like a sport for us," she said. "Shopping is what he and I do together."

HGTV Star Whose Show Hasn’t Aired New Episodes Since 2023 Reveals She Walked Away at the ‘Perfect Time’

Jenn Todryk is opening up about her decision to walk away from her HGTV show, No Demo Reno

NEED TO KNOW

• Todryk hosted the home renovation series for three seasons from 2021 to 2023

• The former HGTV star says she "chose to walk away at the perfect time," but maintains a good relationship with the network

Jenn Todryk is opening up about her decision to walk away from her HGTV show.

On her Instagram Stories, the home reno guru, 37, revealed why she "walked away" fromNo Demo Reno, which aired on HGTV for three seasons from 2021 to 2023. On the series, Todryk worked with clients to "create beautiful renovations with no demolition required," per the network.

In the March post, which was captured byEntertainmentNow.com, Todryk shared a throwback photo of a camera crew filming her as she held up paint samples and one of her daughters clung to her legs on the floor. "I do think I chose to walk away at the perfect time," she wrote. "I didn't want my kids to spend their childhood on a 'set,' I didn't want their home and safe space to feel like a set or be at home while I was away."

"I see pictures like this and think, what a cool part of my story and not wishing it was my only story and for that I am SO grateful!" the mom of three continued.

Todryk further opened up about the show's stressful filming conditions in anepisode of herYou, Me & Mikepodcastreleased on March 4. During the show, which she hosts with her husband, Mike Todryk, she hinted at how unhappy she was with the way she was portrayed on the show.

"No one understands until your entire character, integrity and image as a person is in the hands of someone else," Jenn said. "And a rough edit can literally destroy [you] nowadays."

Mike added that it was difficult for Jenn to work with different production teams from one season to the next, and said that would have to change if the show were to return.

"You would have new people, like, the second season wasn't the same editing team," Mike said while speaking to Jenn. "I think, you know, if you choose to keep going eventually, if you had the same consistency, it probably would have created a lot more trust."

The sentiment was echoed what Egypt Sherrod and Mike Jacksontold PEOPLE in October 2025after their series,Married to Real Estate, was canceled by HGTV. The married hosts went through production changes during their final season and, as a result, there was a noticeable shift behind the scenes, including dark weeks.

Those delays eventually led to season 4 taking "almost double the amount of time" to complete. "For us, this is our business and our reputation," Sherrod said at the time.

AlthoughtNo Demo Renohas been off the air for three years, Todryk says returning to the network is not out of the question.

"I am super grateful that I have a really awesome relationship with HGTV. I know that the door is open so whenever I want to make content, I can. That's something I'm really grateful for," Todryk toldTV Insiderin March 2025.

She added, "But life is so busy right now, I'm just trying to survive with all the home life stuff now. But HGTV is great and I really have loved working with them."

Eddie Cibrian Makes Appearance in Surprise Role on ‘High Potential’ Before Season Finale

Eddie Cibrianmade a surprise appearance in the newest episode ofHigh Potential— but did everyone catch his scenes?

During the Tuesday, March 31, episode of the hit ABC series, Cibrianhad a cameo as the mayorof Los Angeles. He originally resisted having Morgan (Kaitlin Olson) on the case but eventually shared evidence with her to help with the investigation.

According to the synopsis, "Wagner joins Morgan and the team on a hunt for the crew behind a series of heists ripping through elite private vaults." They then "uncover a far more dangerous endgame a looming cyberattack that could cripple Los Angeles' core infrastructure."

The police procedural, which premiered in September 2024,follows a high-potential intellectual— Morgan — who teams up with the LAPD to help solve murders. She gets paired up with a police officer, who is initially skeptical about Morgan's involvement with the Major Crimes unit but ultimately starts to rely on her.

Which 'High Potential' Stars Are — And Aren't — Returning for Season 2 After Several Plot Twists

Season 2 picked up with the confirmation that Morgan's ex Roman was still alive after going missing for more than a decade. The only information Morgan — and all ofUs— have is that her ex worked as an FBI informant and doesn't trust the LAPD.

"It's a pretty bumpy ride. We're going to start unpacking some pretty intense things with Morgan, as it relates to all things Roman. There are all kinds of trials and tribulations that are going to happen with the kids at home," showrunner Todd Harthan teased to Us Weekly at the time. "It's just going to get messy and complicated — hopefully in all the best ways so that the audience stays on the edge of their seats."

He continued: "Our job now as we get to the back half of the second season is to fill in some of the big blanks and progress some of the relationships. You're going to see some intense things happen between Steve Howey's character and Captain Wagner really starts to bloom in the back half. That causes some good soapy messes on multiple fronts. It's just our normal MO of just trying to mix things up and keep the audience engaged and keep them guessing."

Everything to Know About High Potential's Supersized Season 2 After Major Twist

Harthan also expressed excitementat more guest stars.

"One of the wonderful things about this particular season is now that the show is doing really well, the choices we've had for casting have been incredible," he shared. "In the back half, you're going to see some really exciting guest stars."

Harthan concluded: "We have this wonderful main cast and we're trying to recruit — just like with Steve Howey. These actors have been just incredible. They can come into our show and hang with our wonderful cast and just add their own flavor to our world. It's been exciting and you'll see there's some really cool people popping in."

High Potentialreturns to ABC Tuesday, January 6, at 9 p.m. ET. The show is streaming on Hulu.

“Brady Bunch” star Mike Lookinland says he went 'off the rails' after the show ended

Mike Lookinlandneeded a break after playing youngest brother Bobby on five seasons of the squeaky clean family sitcomThe Brady Bunch. And he took it.

"I lived my childhood in my 20s, because I couldn't when I was a child," Lookinland said Monday onThe Real Brady Brospodcast. "And in my 20s, I had a car and money and freedom. I was fully off the rails."

Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with ourEW Dispatch newsletter.

The actor was all of eight when the sitcom premiered on ABC in 1969. When it ended five seasons and five years later, he was just beginning his teenage years.

"I'm just thankful that not every man, woman, and child had a high-def camera in their pocket when I was 25, like they do now," Lookinland said, "because it would have ruined my life."

Christopher Knight, who portrayed middle brother Peter, said that their TV parents — actors Robert Reed, who played Mike, and Florence Henderson, the actress behind Carol — were a deterrent to the cast in behaving badly.

'We didn't wanna disappoint Florence and Bob," he said. "I mean, that was the beginning of it. It's like there's certain people that you just don't wanna disappoint. I think that was stronger with me with those two than it was my own parents."

And yet at least some bad behavior has come to light in the more than 50 years since the first incarnation of the Bradys went off the air. For instance, actress Maureen McCormick, who played elder sister Marcia, infamously wrote about struggling with drug addiction and an eating disorder in the years after the show.

Lookinland and many of his costars were part of the show's many reunion projects, including the psychedelicBrady Bunch Variety Hour(1976-1977) andThe Bradysseries in the '90s. Other appearances, such as when he, Knight, and Barry Williams, who played eldest brother Greg, were onThe Masked Singerin 2022, have been rare.

Lookinland married Kelly Wermuth in 1987, and the couple shares two children. He struggled with alcoholism, but said in 2013 that hehad gotten sober.

He now leads a small business that makes decorative countertops, fireplaces, benches, and other concrete items.
