Never in director Paul Feig’s wildest dreams did he think Taylor Swift would approve of her song being featured in The Housemaid.
Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Housemaid.
Feig told Deadline at the film’s red carpet premiere last week that he was convinced Swift, 36, was “never gonna clear” her “perfect” 2017 song “I Did Something Bad” from Reputation.
“Well, that’s the thing; you want to put a Taylor song in your movie, but she and her company have to approve it,” he explained.

He continued, “So, we were tempting with it, and we were like, ‘It’s so perfect, but she’s never gonna clear this.’ Then we showed she and her people the movie, and she approved it. So, I guess she likes it. Thank you Taylor!”
The Housemaid is based on Freida McFadden’s 2022 novel of the same name, which spawned two more books and a novella. The story follows young housemaid Millie (Sydney Sweeney), who moves into Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar) and Nina Winchester (Amanda Seyfried)’s home. Millie quickly discovers she was hired for more than just cleaning, but to help Nina plan an escape from her abusive husband.
Swift’s track was used as the end credits song after the film’s final scene, where Millie is interviewing for a position with a new family — and the new boss explains that she was recommended to her by Nina. The camera then shows a bruise on her wrist, suggesting Millie might be helping the new boss with a similar situation.
While no sequel has been officially announced, Sweeney, 28, and Seyfried, 40, have weighed in on whether they would be game.
“I think that we’ll just have to wait and see,” Sweeney told Entertainment Weekly in an interview published on Sunday, December 21. “I hope that the audience loves the movies just like we love the books, and we can continue to hopefully share that love within more of the films.”
Seyfried, meanwhile, said she’d “absolutely” want to do more films. “Listen, if it doesn’t do well, you can call it off, but if it does, well, it’s absolutely a franchise,” Seyfried told the outlet. “I didn’t sign on for anything but this one because my story ends, but they know that if they make another one, I’ll be a part of it, because I had so much fun with Paul.”
Feig, meanwhile, told The Hollywood Reporter at The Housemaid’s premiere that because the story is part of a series, “if people show up and see it, I would love to see what Millie does next.”
Before the movie was released, Seyfried shared that the film had “the support” of McFadden.
“We felt empowered because we had her blessing,” Seyfried said on an episode of the “Bookmarked” podcast earlier this month, sharing that Feig was also helpful. “You know, this movie is going to be special and surprising, even for the book lover. I almost feel like I need to read the book again.”
The Housemaid is in theaters now.

Blue Bloodsstar Andrew Terraciano has finally opened up about passing down the role of Sean Reagan after the character was recast in the Boston Blue spinoff.
“It’s beautiful because you’ll always remember every single line and every day that you had the opportunity to be that character,” Terraciano, 22, exclusively told Us Weekly about his time on the hit CBS series. “It doesn’t mean for even a second that somebody else can’t go and do something beautiful with it.”
Terraciano expressed gratitude for his time on Blue Bloods. “I got the joy of playing Sean, and I got to send him off into the world,” he noted. “Now somebody else gets that joy. We’re both getting to show what we do and then send Sean off into the world.”
CBS viewers have gotten very familiar with Terraciano after he got his start playing Donnie Wahlberg‘s onscreen son. The actor appeared in nearly 300 episodes from 2010 to 2024 before the show came to an end. Blue Bloods expanded into Boston Blue, but the role of Sean was recast with newcomer Mika Amonsen.
“I had somebody call me — actually the day that I was graduating — and they had spoken to my mom and she called me [crying]. They were like, ‘They might be looking for a different Sean,’” Terraciano recalled how he learned the news initially. “Shortly after we got the news, Donnie called me. It was a really beautiful moment of getting to hear from an old friend but also somebody that you respect so much and have learned so much from.”
Terraciano appreciated hearing from Wahlberg, telling Us, “We had such an amazing experience on Blue Bloods that when we talk we’ll always be friends and family first. I’m happy that there are so many other people that now get to share in that amazing experience.”

While Terraciano has yet to watch Boston Blue as he focuses on his studies — he is looking forward to checking in.
“I’m going to give it the time and the respect that it deserves,” he noted. “[But in terms of returning in some capacity] I said it to Donnie on the phone. If he says the word, I’ll be there. Not just with Blue Bloods or Boston Blue but with anything in life.”
As Boston Blue has proven to Us, Sean Reagan’s legacy on Blue Bloods has made him beloved to the fans. Terraciano wasn’t expecting the outpouring of love that ensued once he wrapped up his run in the fan favorite role — but he is grateful for the support now.
“I can’t say that I expected it but I appreciate it,” he shared. “It’s so meaningful to know that people love the character that I got to share in creating. I didn’t expect it to say the least.”
When Us spoke to Amonsen in a separate interview, he shared the way he wanted to pay tribute to Terraciano, who was grateful for the thought.
“I appreciate it because not only has there been such an outcry of love from the community but there’s also a very clear love coming to the show,” he explained. “It’s hundreds if not thousands of people who depend on their livelihood for a show to be made. It really is amazing that part of that character remains. Somebody can look back and say, ‘I want to pay homage to that. I want to respect that and I want to work on making something beautiful.’”
“The role provided me with such an insight into not only my own life but the lives of so many others. Because every time that you’re acting, you are learning so much about yourself and about the other person,” he explained. “So when you act with the same people for so long, you get such a deep understanding and you develop such a love for them.”
Instagram
In addition to Wahlberg, Terraciano got to share the screen with costars such as Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan, Len Cariou, Will Estes, Marisa Ramirez and Vanessa Ray.
“If they had asked us, I’m sure every single person in the cast would have happily stayed [on Blue Bloods] for the rest of our lives. When we found out that it was the end, I don’t think any of us really let ourselves accept for even a moment that it was a real thing that was ending,” he told Us. “When we had our last dinner scene, we just sat there. For half an hour we just went around the table telling the same old jokes that we had a thousand times before and asking the same questions that we had a thousand times before. None of us were willing to be the first to get up.”
For Terraciano, Blue Bloodsprovided him with a TV family. He recalled to Us how “emotionally devastating” it felt to film the finale — and how the cast has remained in each other’s lives since then.
“It was coming to terms with the thought that this opportunity is changing very, very significantly. But because of having had that opportunity, you are all getting propelled into the future in such a beautiful way,” he recalled. “I’m still in touch with a lot of people from the cast and crew. I speak to them fairly often. I’ve made a lot of friends through Blue Bloods that I will never lose.”
The hit CBS series also gave him the role of a lifetime.

“After knowing these people for 15 years, you go out into the world with everything that they’ve given you and you hope that you’ve given them something,” he gushed. “You hold them in your heart and that they’re never gone. It was a weird kind of grief — but Sean had grown into his own thing.”
He continued: “Sean had become who he needed to be by the end of the show. So I was happy to send a character off into the world and I was happy to send my loving friends off into the world.”
“At the end of last spring, I got the fantastic opportunity to work in a dear friend director Sabrina Carlier’s rendition of Annie Baker’s The Antipodes. Not only did I have that amazing opportunity that was my first play that I’ve ever been in but it really pulled me into the theater world,” he explained. “It showed me how much love I have for all forms of acting. I helped produce a friend’s short film recently, and I look forward to every opportunity that I get to act.”
He continued: “You get a passion and you can’t get rid of it to continue to act and continue to participate in creating in any way, shape or form. I would love more than anything to be an actor for the rest of my life. But I’m a huge Star Wars fanatic so I would really do anything [in that universe]. And I would love to try out a sitcom.”
Blue Bloods is streaming on Paramount+.

“Since she wants to be petty and be an a**hole, I think I am just going to go ahead and say that grandpa Bret likes to drink her piss like it is dirty soda,” Jessi said in an Instagram Story video on November 25. “He gulps it down like water. And that is what ‘Fruity Pebbles’ means.”
In an interview with Entertainment Tonight published on Thursday, December 4, Demi confessed that Jessi outing her and Bret made things a little awkward around the dinner table at Thanksgiving.
“It’s an awkward topic, not gonna lie,” Demi told the outlet. “I had to go to Thanksgiving the next day. It was not ideal.”
Despite her initial shock at Jessi going public with the couple’s sex act, Demi said she and Bret decided to lean into the controversy.
“Fruity Pebbles has been a topic that we’ve all teased and talked about for so long and as much as it was a private moment, and we never planned on sharing this ourselves, we have nothing else left to do other than just own it and have fun with it,” Demi said.
She continued, “I think I just thought that it’s out there and it’s going to be talked about … I was able to handle the comments and everything with just more levity, which was nice.”

Demi and Jessi fell out during season 2 of Mormon Wives, with their relationship only deteriorating further in season 3, which saw Jessi reveal her affair with Vanderpump Villa’s Marciano Brunette. Marciano also claimed he kissed Demi, which she has denied.
“There are things that people have seen on camera, there’s things that people haven’t seen, and I’m kind of at peace with it,” Demi said of her feud with Jessi. “Whereas, I do feel like Jessi does take a lot of time out of her life to make it a point to dislike me.”
The influencer said she hasn’t closed the door completely on her friendship with Jessi.
“On my end, 100 percent,” Demi responded when asked if there’s a chance of the two reconciling. “If Whitney[Leavitt] and Mikayla[Matthews] can become friends again, there’s hope for Demi and Jessi.”
“And at the end of the day, like, I never wish anyone ill will and I don’t want to ever see anyone fail or suffer. I want to see her do well and I hope she is doing well,” she added.
At the time of Jessi’s Fruity Pebbles revelation, Demi issued a statement via Instagram, writing, “What my husband and I did one time behind closed doors was a consensual and private experience in our marriage.”
“I won’t let a private act between my husband and I be a distraction from a serious act that I did not consent to,” she added, referring to her allegations that Marciano touched her without consent.

The “Livin’ in Beverly Hills” panel took place on Friday, November 14, at BravoCon 2025 and featured the show’s cast — Kathy Hilton, Dorit Kemsley, Erika Jayne, Jennifer Tilly, Kyle Richards, Bozoma Saint John, Sutton Stracke and Rachel Zoe — giving a first look at what’s to come.
One clip from season 15 featured Dorit reacting to the photos of estranged husband PK Kemsley “kissing another woman” in the streets. (Dorit and PK separated in May 2024. She filed for divorce one year later.)
“I felt like, ‘That’s it,’” she said. “That man, there on the street, I don’t know him.”
A separate moment showed Kyle and her four daughters — Farrah, 37, Alexia, 29, Sophia, 25, and Portia, 17 — reacting to Mauricio Umansky’s rather public love life. (Kyle and Mauricio separated in July 2023.)
“The last time there was paparazzi pictures of him with some girl at the valet, I texted him and was like, ‘You are doing the absolute most. Tone it down,’” Sophia said. Portia, meanwhile, told her friends that Mauricio is “being a hoe.”
Aside from the women and their relationship issues, Rachel’s return to Bravo seems to be making the most buzz as she got the loudest applause from the crowd. Sutton also confirmed that viewers will get to see what really went down between her and former assistant Avi Gabay.
Keep scrolling for the biggest revelations from the RHOBH BravoCon 2025 panel:
Tension at the Reunion
Kyle noted that Dorit will have the most to answer for when the women film their season 15 reunion. Dorit fired back saying, “I’ll have the most to say.”
What Happened With Avi?

“Avi and I had a great run. We had a lot of fun,” Sutton said. “My life has changed. I don’t have any kids at home … I can make my own dentist appointments … I didn’t need a personal assistant … He’s a great guy.”
Erika and Dorit Are Feuding
The RHOBH season 15 trailer teased some drama between Erika and Dorit — and they addressed it on Friday.
“I love Dorit, I lost it on Dorit,” Erika admitted.
Are Kyle and Dorit Friends Again?
There are still some lingering issues between the longtime pals.
“Coming into this season, we were able to make progress and then we made three steps forward and maybe four steps back,” Kyle explained. “There’s a lot of love there and things have been difficult, but I hope to get back there.”
Garcelle departed the show in March after season 14 came to an end, walking out during the reunion. While on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen earlier this year, Garcelle said she is the most open about reconciling with Kyle — which surprised the women.
“I wish she would have shown me that in person,” Kyle said. “I was really taken aback when she walked off the set at the reunion and unfollowed everybody.”
Sutton and Garcelle haven’t spoken, despite their close friendship on the show.
“As far as I was concerned we were still friends and then she never talked to me again and blocked me on Instagram,” Sutton said. However, she has since “gotten to know these women so much better and feel really bonded now in a way I didn’t feel before.”
More Drama Than Amsterdam
The RHOBH season 5 trip to Amsterdam was iconic, but this season might have its own drama-filled trip.
“Let’s just say it’s what led to the issues between the three of us [Kyle, Dorit and Erika] … it was a very dramatic situation, there was a lot of yelling, screaming and tears,” Kyle teased. “Everyone was left with their mouth hanging open.”

Nathalie Kelley is opening up about her experience working with Ryan Phillippe and his son, Deacon Phillippe, on the set of their show Motorheads.
“[Deacon is] the most charismatic, polite, thoughtful young man I have ever met,” Kelley, 40 exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, November 10, referring to Phillippe’s son, whom he shares with ex-wife Reese Witherspoon, adding that he “gives me hope for the entire gender of men.
“I’m like, wow! If this is what the new generation of men are coming out, looking like, sounding like, acting like, then I feel more at ease about the future of our species,” she continued, while promoting the upcoming short film Yachapa, which highlights Quechua weavers and alpaquero families in Peru, and her partnership with alpaca fiber apparel PAKA. “Honestly, what an incredible young man.”
She also recalled how overjoyed Ryan was to let Deacon spread his wings for the Amazon Prime drama.

“I think it was [Deacon’s] first major acting role, and super sweet to see the father-son dynamic and how proud Ryan was,” Kelley said. “Ryan was trying to navigate how much to interfere and how much to let him be in his own process. I learned a lot from having my own kids on the show, from observing Ryan as a father and just realizing, like, how beautiful that the cycle of life is.”
Kelley explained that her time on the Motorheads set also “taught me a lot about motherhood,” describing the experience as “a really transformative process for me.”
“Because at the end of it, I decided that I actually did want to have children, and before that, I hadn’t wanted to. So it’s really beautiful how art and life mimic and imitate and feed one another,” she added. “I’ll always be grateful to Motorheads for giving me that kind of awakening and realization.
Kelley, who was born in Peru before moving to Australia, has already had a full circle moment in her partnership with PAKA, fulfilling a two-decade promise to herself.
“I grew up in Australia, which is [on] the other side of the world from Peru, and when I came home for the first time after moving there very young, I saw so much injustice and so many wrongs that I wanted to right when it came to my indigenous community. And I made a promise when I was 18 years old, that one day I was going to do something to right these wrongs and to make up for the fact that I had left,” she said. “I’d never forgotten that promise.”
For Kelley, accomplishing that goal was “my sweet surprise full circle moment.” And she’s not done yet.
The “Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift” star has “found a purpose” after reconnecting with her Peruvian roots.
“It feels like it’s just the beginning,” she told Us. “I realize that what they are looking for, beyond help, is allyship, and what Kris [Cody] is doing with PAKA, and what I can do as a storyteller with influence, with global influence, is be their allies and stand by and stand beside them.”

Kelley said they are shining a light on “a supply chain that needs a lot of justice and reorienting, so that we can make sure that the people behind the alpaca fiber are being honored, as well as the animals and the ecosystems.”
She also shared that it’s important the local Quechua weavers are “being properly compensated and integrated into the supply chain in a meaningful and just way.”
“This is just the first step. Kris and I have a lifelong mission there,” Kelley teased.

Stefon Diggs is preparing for dad mode as pregnant girlfriend Cardi B’s due date draws closer.
“It’s supposed to happen real soon,” Diggs, 31, told Extra at the 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards on Monday, November 3, teasing when the couple’s little one is due.
The New England Patriots receiver will be new to parenthood, so he asked the reporter and fans to “wish us both luck” on the journey.
Diggs also revealed the sex of his and Cardi’s baby during the New York City event, telling People, “It’s a boy.”
When asked what he’s most excited about once the baby arrives, Diggs said having a son is “enough” for him.
“I can’t wait to make him do push-ups and sit-ups and run around,” the NFL player added.
Cardi, 33, previously hinted at wanting a baby boy with Diggs on the song “On My Back” from her album Am I the Drama, which dropped in September.
“I be staring in your eyes through the whole day / I swear to God, I hope our kids have your whole face,” the lyrics read. “Take these clothes off and throw ’em on the floor / I told my girl I’m ’bout to give this man a boy / Throw me on my back.”
While Cardi initially denied she was dating Diggs, the pair continued to fuel romance rumors. In June, the Grammy winner confirmed her relationship with Diggs via social media by sharing a cozy photo with him on a yacht.
Three months later, Cardi announced her pregnancy with baby No. 4, her first with Diggs. “I am having a baby with my boyfriend,” she told Gayle King during an appearance on CBS Mornings in September. “I’m excited.”
Weeks before Cardi confirmed her pregnancy, Diggs responded to a lawsuit filed by Aileen Lopera in December 2024, who claimed that he is the father of her 7-month-old baby girl.
Us Weekly confirmed that Diggs said in a July 17 filing that he was certain he was not the father of Lopera’s daughter, Charliee, who was born on April 2. He requested “genetic testing to determine” whether he is the father and asked the court for joint legal and physical custody of the child if the test proves paternity.
Amid the drama, Diggs has been focused on football, and Cardi has been his No. 1 supporter.
The musician was spotted at the Patriots’ home game against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, November 2. Cardi sat next to Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft at Gillette Stadium wearing a burgundy coat that barely covered her growing baby bump.
Cardi later shared a series of photos from the game, which the Patriots won 24-23, via social media, including a snap of Diggs bending down to caress her belly.
