How Taylor Frankie Paul and ‘Bachelorette’ crossover was paused

How Taylor Frankie Paul and ‘Bachelorette’ crossover was paused

Published by Sam Flores

“The best way I can describe it is, it’s an addiction,” says Taylor Frankie Paul. The star of “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives” is seated by a window in an empty Starbucks within a downtown Salt Lake City hotel, reflecting on her relationship troubles in an interview Feb. 19. Followers of Paul’s screen life are all too familiar with the drama. Now, others can’t escape knowing about it too. Days later, a dispute with her on-again, off-again partner would lead to an investigation by police that surfaced in multiple news reports this week, and on Thursday, the release of a video recording of a separate dispute in 2023 would lead to a pause on “The Bachelorette,” her latest starring role on reality TV, three days before it was set to premiere. Her brush with fame began with #Momtok, as the self-proclaimed founder of the Utah-based group of Mormon moms that spawned the so-called corner of TikTok where they shared choreographed dance videos and light lifestyle content. But in 2022, she rose to notoriety after …

Meet the Honda Insight EV Launched in 1999, the first-generation Insight was Honda’s first mass-produced hybrid vehicle. Since then, the 2-seat hatchback evolved into a 5-seater and, in its third generation, into a 4-door sedan. Honda discontinued the Insight after the 2022 model year to focus on better-selling nameplates like the Civic and CR-V, both of which received hybrid variants. The Insight will make a comeback this year as a high-tech all-electric crossover SUV. Although it will be sold in Japan, the new EV will be based on the e: NS2, an electric crossover from Honda’s joint venture with Dongfeng Honda, which has been on sale in China since June 2024.

Chicago Fire’s Miranda Rae Mayo admits to stress over highly-anticipated upcoming crossover

It is a big night for fans of Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Chicago P.D, and it’s cast. On Wednesday, March 4, the three One Chicago franchise series are coming together for a big crossover — and for Miranda Rae Mayo, who stars as firefighter Lieutenant Stella Kidd, it’s particularly special. The episode is airing weeks after the ten-year anniversary of Miranda’s debut episode, which originally aired during season four in 2016. © NBCUniversalThe crossover kicks off at 8pm ET on NBC Speaking with People about the crossover, and whether there is added stress filming such a highly-anticipated episode, she confirmed there is, adding: “We know how much the fans love the crossover, and last year, I think there was a lot of pride in all of the shows about what we put together.” “It is a huge beast, production-wise, to make these movies, really. It is a big mountain that we are all climbing together,” she noted. “So, all of the feelings that come along with that, with looking up at the mountain before you climb …

I have to admit that, tragic car spotter as I am, the very existence of the Hyundai Bayon had passed me by until very recently. It’s had a refresh and some interesting mechanical adjustments, which drew my attention, but, frankly, it’s still keeping a lower profile than Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor these days, which, in the case of the decidedly non-arrogant little Hyundai, is a bit of a shame. Naturally, at this point, however incongruously, I must add that the aforesaid man in his sixties from Norfolk, as he’s also known, denies all wrongdoing. The Bayon has no need to be shy, however, aside from its basic sin of not being a fully green modern battery electric vehicle. I guess it didn’t help that it was launched in 2021, an inopportune moment for obvious reasons, and, like Hyundai’s other soon-to-be-obsolescent …

The two worlds crossed over at the start of this year, with characters from both programmes meeting one another following a multi-car collision. It proved to be a massive hit with fans, with 4.7 million tuning in to the hour-long episode. Despite the impressive ratings, ITV’s executive producer for continuing drama Iain MacLeod has ruled out the possibility of another Corriedale special – saying that it “doesn’t make any sense” to revisit the idea. Speaking to the This Is Media City podcast on Tuesday (17 February), MacLeod said that blending the ”gothic and crazy” Emmerdale with the “more grounded” Coronation Street again “wouldn’t work” on a long-term basis. “The two shows do have a …

Thom Browne Is the King of the Sports-Fashion Crossover

Thom Browne Is the King of the Sports-Fashion Crossover

Published by Jenni Sidey

When Thom Browne sends his fall 2026 collection down the runway at GQ Bowl—our second annual football-meets-fashion spectacular, which hits San Francisco on Friday, February 6—it’ll mark the latest chapter in the designer’s lifelong obsession with sports. Browne grew up an athlete himself, dominating the tennis courts as a kid in small-town Pennsylvania and swimming competitively at Notre Dame. That affinity for athletics has long seeped into his work: He has staged fashion shows inspired by ice skating and surfing and hosts a starry touch football game every autumn. And, of course, he has turned countless hallmarks of classic American sportswear—from bar stripes and varsity jackets to tennis sweaters and locker loops—into key totems of his oeuvre. It’s no surprise, then, that Browne counts several rosters’ worth of all-star athletes among his most loyal acolytes. Everyone from LeBron James to Lionel Messi to Travis Kelce has donned the designer’s signature shrunken suits in their respective pregame tunnels. His more fanciful creations have graced the Met Gala steps on the likes of pros like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander …

The ITV soaps entwined on Monday, with characters from both shows involved in a deadly crash on a motorway between Leeds and Manchester – and viewers watched on in excitement as several familiar faces shared the screen for the first time. But it was a knowing gag involving Coronation Street’s Steve McDonald (Simon Gregson) and Emmerdale’s Jai Sharma (Chris Bisson) that has been hailed as the highlight of the episode. The in-joke arrived when Steve suggested he recognised Jai, stating: “I just thought I saw somebody I used to work with, but it can’t be.” This was a nod to the fact that Bisson played Vikram in Corrie from 1999 to 2002. …
