JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers can count themselves among the success stories to come out of Bachelor Nation.
The couple met and fell in love during season 12 of The Bachelorette in 2016. The reality stars had a long engagement before finally setting a wedding date in June 2020. However, the coronavirus pandemic delayed their plans.
Amid the wait for their nuptials, Fletcher’s season re-aired as part of The Bachelor: The Greatest Seasons — Ever! Turns out, Rodgers had never seen their televised love story, so the special event gave him an opportunity to walk down memory lane.
“When I first got the call from our producers, I think I got this pit in my stomach. I was like, ‘No! We have to rewatch this?’ I don’t know why I had initially felt that, but like there was like a sense of anxiety,” Fletcher exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2020. “I think I got really lucky the first time around because Jordan didn’t watch my season. He’s like, ‘I don’t need to see that!’ But now he’s like, ‘I’m super excited to watch!’ I’m like, ‘Oh, great. Four years later we’re gonna rehash all this?’”

Anaconda viewers were in for a surprise when Jennifer Lopez popped up in a scene with the new movie’s star Jack Black.
“Are you Doug McAllister? You directed the unauthorized version of Anaconda even though you didn’t have the rights?” Lopez, 56, said in social media footage of the film, playing an exaggerated version of herself. “I saw your little movie, and I loved it. That’s why I’m here.”
She continued, “I’m here because we’re doing another Anaconda, and I want you to direct it. Are you in?”
Black’s character, Doug, fainted before he could respond.
Lopez famously starred in 1997’s Anaconda opposite Jon Voight, Ice Cube and Owen Wilson. The horror flick followed a documentary crew’s adventure in the Amazon after they were forced to help a snake hunter (played by Voight, now 86) hunt a giant anaconda.
In Black’s recently released version of Anaconda, two friends (played by Black, 56, and Paul Rudd) attempt to remake J. Lo’s movie. Their filmmaking journey, however, takes an unexpected turn when they encounter an actual snake.
“I had some slight snake trauma in my teen years,” Black told USA Today earlier this month of overcoming his fears to star in the new film. “A snake got loose in my house, and we found it hours later, slithering out of my mattress. It snuck into a hole in the mattress, and ever since then, they haunt my dreams.”

“That’s a complicated scene. There’s a lot of different angles and movement and energy,” Black recalled to the outlet. “The running through the grass on uneven terrain, that’s all hard, but the hardest part is none of those things. Pretending to be terrified for long stretches of time is so exhausting. That’s really the hardest part, weirdly.”
He added, “This is going to sound dumb, and I’m going to wish I didn’t say this, but people don’t understand how difficult acting can be. If you’re acting [with] extreme emotion, it’s frigging exhausting.”
Lopez’s OG version of the movie was also filmed in the jungle.
“You notice how there’s always a rat scene in movies? I hate that,” Lopez said in a 1997 interview for Anaconda, noting other film scenes were much easier than if she worked with mice. “It was my first time [in the Amazon] and I can’t say I’ll be going back to film. It was a tough thing to film, being on water all day.”
“You get water-logged, and you’re in your shower and you feel like you’re on the boat,” she quipped. “You’re, like, ‘Is the floor moving or is it me?’ … It wasn’t an easy job, but it was fun and we had a good time. We had a great cast.”
Lopez even praised Voight for managing to pull off “being entertaining and funny while still being threatening.”
“I really like the character,” she added.
Anaconda is currently in theaters.

Pat Finn was a beloved character actor and one of his most memorable roles was on Seinfeld.
Finn appeared in the season 9 episode titled “The Reverse Peephole,” which aired in 1998. Finn played the group’s friend Joe Mayo. In the episode, Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and George (Jason Alexander) are looking for a housewarming present for Joe and the trio decide on a massage chair.
George decides he wants to save a few bucks, so he buys the piece of furniture from Delaware. However, the chair does not arrive in time for Joe’s party, so the group shows up empty-handed.
While at the get-together, Elaine becomes in charge of the coats after being embarrassed by on-and-off boyfriend David Puddy’s (Patrick Warburton) fur coat. Elaine secretly throws out the fur coat but later learns it was actually Joe’s coat that she tossed. Joe demands that Elaine get him a new jacket.
Following the party, the massage chair is delivered to George’s house by mistake. George is suffering from back pain so he delays giving his friend his gift so he can use it instead.
As Elaine is figuring out how to get Joe’s coat back to him, Kramer (Michael Richards) tells her that Newman (Wayne Knight) found the piece of clothing. Elaine goes to Newman to try to convince him to give her the coat but he had already given the item to the wife of their landlord, Silvio (Jon Polito), whom Newman was having an affair with.
Silvio later learns about the affair and threatens to evict Newman and Kramer over it. Kramer attempts to save himself by telling Silvio the coat belongs to Jerry. After Jerry goes along with the ruse, Elaine finds him wearing Joe’s coat and asks him why he is wearing the item. Silvio then believes Joe is responsible for the affair and vows to get revenge on him. The episode ends with Silvio ambushing Joe with a sock of pennies.
Before landing the role, Finn and his wife, Donna, were big fans of the comedy. During a 2021 interview with “This Podcast is Making Me Thirsty,” Finn shared that Seinfeld was playing on the TV when Donna gave birth to their daughter long before he would appear on the series. (The couple share three kids.)
“[Our daughter] was born and Seinfeld was on in the room. So we always knew it was like eight o’clock or whatever. We knew cause Seinfeld was on,” he recalled.
When Finn appeared on the show years later, he gushed about how welcomed he felt by the cast.
“When I was done with the scene, I’d go over to this table in the middle where they had magazines and newspapers and I just stayed there one so I could listen and kind of learn from their rehearsal,” he explained. “And the other [reason] was in case they needed me and I wasn’t too far away so they wouldn’t think I was a snotty actor. The cast would gradually come [over] like Jason sat down.”
Finn added that when someone would sit with him they would get to know him.
“It was so nice because they didn’t have to but to be welcomed into any group is nice, especially that group,” he recalled. “You especially want them to be nice because you put them on such a high pedestal.”
Finn died on Tuesday, December 24, following a battle with cancer. He was 60.
“It is with profound sadness and grief that the Finn family announces the passing of beloved comedic actor, Pat Finn,” Finn’s rep said in a statement to the New York Post. “In 2022, Pat battled bladder cancer, went into remission, but the cancer returned and metastasized. He was a warrior in every sense of the word.”
TMZ reported that Finn passed away at his home in Los Angeles surrounded by his family. The actor is survived by wife Donna and their three children.

“We are deeply saddened to confirm the sudden passing of a member of the Emily in Paris production family,” a spokesperson for Paramount Television Studios told Us in a statement. “Our hearts go out to the individual’s family and loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.”
Borella had collapsed while the crew were preparing a scene at Venice’s Hotel Danieli, according to multiple local outlets at the time. In light of Borella’s passing, the show briefly halted production. Lily Collins, who plays the titular Emily, and her costars resumed filming two days later.
Emily in Paris follows an American marketing executive after she moves from the United States to Paris to begin a new job at a luxury marketing agency. By the end of season 4, Emily was tasked with leading a branch of the company in Rome with new love interest Marcello (Eugenio Franceschini) in tow.
After a whirlwind on-off romance, Emily and Marcello traveled to Venice in the season finale for the city’s fashion week — and the debut of Marcello’s eponymous line. Despite a successful presentation, the couple ended up breaking up when Marcello revealed his plans to move back to Italy to assume control of his family’s fashion house. Emily, for her part, wasn’t ready to say au revoir to the City of Lights.

The final episode further hinted that Emily could reconcile with ex-boyfriend Gabriel (Lucas Bravo), who sent her a postcard to “meet [him] in Greece.”
“Gabriel is important. He’s part of the DNA of the show,” series director and executive producer Andrew Flemingexclusively told Usabout the chances of reconciliation for the fan-favorite pair. “When he and Emily are in a scene together, something undefinable happens. They have this chemistry. They do. There’s just something about the two of them that’s very watchable.”
Fleming further teased that there’s more to Emily and Gabriel’s story if Emily in Paris gets renewed for a season 6.
“Looking ahead, they’re part of each other’s journey. Who is to say who Emily is going to end up with, but Emily and Gabriel are going to interact with each other,” the director told Us. “Stuff is going to happen [but] I really can’t say anything about what’s going to happen next season.”
Bravo’s Gabriel left his job running the Michelin-winning L’esprit de Gigi restaurant to serve as the private chef on a British businessman’s yacht.
“The ‘sexy chef’ was very much part of me in season 1 and we grew apart season after season because of the choices he makes and because of the direction they make him take,” Bravo told IndieWire in October 2024. “I’ve never been so far away from him. … There is only so much I can do in the limits of a script. I tried for seasons to bring nuances but we don’t have much liberty on set. We cannot change a word or an emotion. They know what they want and we just have to comply.”
Emily in Paris season 5 is currently streaming on Netflix.

The Canadian actor first left his mark on viewers that year with A Bride for Christmas alongside Arielle Kebbel. The twosome reunited on camera for 2015’s Bridal Wave, which launched Walker into an even bigger name on Hallmark Channel.
“It’s exactly what I would hope for in my evolution [on] Hallmark. Being on Hallmark for 10 years now and [nearly] 26 movies later, or whatever it is that I’m in, it’s crazy,” Walker exclusively told Us Weekly in February 2023. “This is exactly where I want to be.”
