Sophie Turner, 27, will be spending the holidays with her two daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 1, after splitting from their father, Joe Jonas, earlier this year, according to a new report. The actress currently has the children with her and will until January 7, legal documents apparently reveal. This means she may celebrate Christmas and New Year’s with them in London, England, where she’s originally from, since she’s allowed to be with the in either the U.S. or the U.K.

The news of the holiday arrangement, which was revealed by TMZ, comes after Joe was spotted hanging out in England. He was at London’s hot spot Chiltern Firehouse, so there’s a chance he may end up seeing the kids over the holidays as well. It’s unclear how the next week will end up for the two of them, but the outlet reported that the kids need to be dropped off with Joe in New York City by January 7.

Sophie, who is best known for her work in Game of Thrones, is spending Christmas and New Year’s with Willa and Delphine because Joe spent Halloween and Thanksgiving with them a few months ago. The former lovebirds are reportedly splitting holidays with them as their final custody arrangement amid their divorce continues to get settled.

The once married couple announced their split back in September. The next month, they also revealed they have settled on a custody arrangement that will allow for their kids to spend time in the U.S. and the U.K.

“After a productive and successful mediation, we have agreed that the children will spend time equally in loving homes in both the U.S. and the U.K.,” the parents said in a joint statement. “We look forward to being great coparents.”

Since their split, Sophie has seemed to romantically move on with British aristocrat Peregrine Pearson. They were seen kissing in London earlier this month and before that, they reportedly kissed in France and attended the Rugby World Cup in England.

The entertainment world has lost a beloved member. 

Neel Nanda, a stand-up comedian who appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Comedy Central’s Adam Devine’s House Party, has died at the age of 32.

“I [am] deeply shocked and saddened by this,” Nanda’s manager Greg Weiss said in a Dec. 24 statement to Deadline. “He was a wonderful comic, but a better person. He had the world in front of him.”

A cause of death has yet to be shared publicly. 

As news of Nanda’s passing emerged, many fans, friends and fellow stars took to social media to pay tribute. 

“RIP Neel Nanda,” Matt Rife wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Dec. 23. “You were one of the nicest, hardest working comedians I’ve ever called a friend and i hope you can be at peace brother.”

Fellow comedian Mario Adrion, who recently performed alongside Nanda, also penned a gut-wrenching message to his friend.

Angel Carter, 36, took to Instagram to share a loving message about her sister Bobbie Jean Carter after her sudden death at the age of 41. The grieving sibling also shared photos of a younger and smiling Bobbie Jean, who was known as BJ, in her post.

“To my older sister Bobbie. You had a great sense of humor, and a lively spirit,” Angel began the message. “Growing up, I was your baby, and you were my best friend. Life wasn’t fair to you, that I know. Sometimes, it feels like you didn’t have a shot, no matter what.”

“Experiencing innocence instead of being burdened by trauma, pain, and suffering is incredibly important for children, particularly at such a young age,” she continued before mentioning her two other late siblings, Leslie Carter and Aaron Carter. “I know why Leslie, Aaron, and now you ended up in the circumstances that you did. I share that pain we experienced during our childhood and I’m sorry you didn’t have an opportunity for a better life.”

“We all need to break down barriers, reduce stigmas, and cultivate a society where seeking mental health support is met with understanding and encouragement,” Angel added. “This starts with our children, and creating healthy conversation within the home. The generational dysfunction stops now. Please visit @onoursleevesofficial to learn more about how you can get involved, and how to be there for your loved ones.”

She ended the message with, “I love you BJ, you’re free now” and added a broken heart and dove emoji.

Angel’s message comes less than 24 hours after Bobbie Jean’s death was announced and confirmed by her mother, Jane Carter. “I am in shock from learning of the sudden death of my daughter, Bobbie Jean, and I will need time to process the terrible reality of this happening for the third time,” she said in a statement.

No cause of death has yet been given, but Bobbie Jean’s passing comes just over a year after Aaron’s death from drowning at the age of 34. Their sister, Leslie, also died of an overdose in 2012. She leaves behind an eight-year-old daughter named Bella.

• Jessa Duggar Seewald is the fifth child of Jim Bob & Michelle Duggar.
• She was featured in the reality shows ’19 Kids & Counting’ and ‘Counting On’
• Jessa has five children with her husband, Benjamin Seewald.
• Jessa announced she welcomed her her fifth child in December 2023.

Jessa Duggar is a member of the Duggar family, who became famous from their now-canceled TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting. Jessa is the fifth child, and third daughter, of Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar, who have 19 children. After 19 Kids and Counting was canceled in 2015 due to Josh Duggar‘s sexual abuse scandal, Jessa starred in the spinoff Counting On, which was also canceled in 2021 because of another scandal involving her brother.

Jessa is now enjoying life away from reality television with her husband Benjamin Seewald and their five children. In February 2023, Jessa shared the heartbreaking news that she suffered a miscarriage with her fifth child two months prior. Jessa had previously suffered a pregnancy loss before her daughter Fern was born in July 2021.

After her miscarriage in 2022, Jessa revealed that she was pregnant again in September 2023. “After a heartbreaking loss of our baby last year, just this past week, we found out some wonderful news, that our rainbow baby is on the way, and we could not be more excited,” she said in a vlog.

She then went on to announce the birth of her fifth child in December 2023.  Here’s everything you need to know about Jessa and Ben’s four children.

Spurgeon

Jessa and Ben’s eldest child, son Spurgeon Elliot Seewald, was born on November 5, 2015. Spurgeon’s birth was featured on an episode of Counting On. He was named after British preacher Charles Spurgeon. A few months after Spurgeon’s birth, Jessa told US Weekly that she planned to raise her son differently than how she grew up in her extremely conservative family.

“Spurgeon is still pretty young, but I’m sure that as he continues to grow, I will find that I tend to do some things differently than my mom did,” Jessa said at the time. “That’s the beauty of the individual family. No one is identical. There will be variations with little things here and there, but I know that our foundational goals remain the same — to raise our kids to love God and be a blessing to others,” she added.

Henry

Jessa and Ben’s second child, son Henry Wilberforce Seewald, was born on February 6, 2017. His birth was announced on an episode of Counting On. Jessa said she chose the name Henry for her second son because she “really liked it.” Henry’s middle name is in honor of William Wilberforce, a politician and philanthropist who was instrumental in putting an end to the slave trade.

The day after Henry’s birth, Jessa and Ben shared the first photo of their family of four with PEOPLE. They also did a TLC video to introduce the new addition to their family. “I think it’s really awesome that we have two little boys so close together in age,” Jessa said in the video. “I know they’re going to be best friends and love growing up and doing everything together, so I’m looking forward to seeing that.”

Ivy

Jessa and Ben’s third child, daughter Ivy Jane Seewald, was born on May 26, 2019. Like her older brothers, Ivy’s birth was featured on an episode of Counting On. Ivy weighed 7 pounds and 14 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long when she was born, according to Us Weekly. “She feels so tiny compared to her siblings!” Jessa and Ben told the publication in a statement after Ivy’s birth. The couple added, “We’re so grateful to God for this precious gift. She is already so loved. Her big brothers adore her!”

When Ivy turned 3 in May 2022, Jessa shared a sweet tribute to her eldest daughter on Instagram. “She brings joy and laughter to our home every single day,” Jessa wrote. “I can barely remember what life was like before she was here with us! So thankful to God for this precious gift of Ivy Jane!”

Fern

Jessa and Ben’s fourth child, Fern Elliana Seewald, was born July 18, 2021. Jessa revealed her second daughter’s name and sex in a “Birth Story” video on YouTube. Fern weighed 8 pounds and 5.9 ounces, and was 21 inches long. The “Birth Story”, which was broken up into several parts, also featured Ivy, Henry, and Spurgeon meeting their new sibling for the first time. Jessa shared a photo of Fern when she was 2 weeks old. Baby Fern wore a yellow bandana with a bow in it in the snapshot, which Jessa captioned, “Baby Fern is 2 weeks old!”

In Sept. 2022, Jessa posted a photo of Ben holding baby Fern, and shared that Fern is “a daddy’s girl— no doubt about it!” Jessa revealed that Fern “runs across the house” when she hears Ben coming home from work. “And I’m not jealous— not one bit!” Jessa said. “I’m just over here melting into a literal puddle every time I witness these scenes.”

Jessa and Ben announced the birth of a son, George Augustine Seewald, in December 2023. “Baby is here and we couldn’t be more grateful!” the doting mom wrote in the caption of a post that included an adorable photo of her holding the new baby while in her hospital bed. She also included a link to a Youtube video that described the birth experience.

Jessa Duggar, 31, announced the birth of her fifth child, in a new joyous Instagram post. The reality star and her husband, Ben Seewald, 28, added a son to their family and a photo of the loving mother holding him in her hospital bed was included in her post.

“Baby is here and we couldn’t be more grateful!” Jessa wrote in the caption. She also included a link to a Youtube video that described the birth experience.

“So, after laboring for about 12 hours, I was moved [from an emergency room bed] into my room and I was able to get an epidural shortly after that,” she explained in the video. “And it worked great on one side and it was, like, sort of spotty on the other side. It wasn’t a perfect take, but I would say 80 percent better than what it was before getting it.”

Doctors then told the mom that the baby was still “pretty high up,” so she decided to “shut off” the epidural. Jessa went on to follow her midwife’s advice to move into various positions to try and rotate the baby. The baby eventually started descending and when she felt more contractions, doctors readministered the epidural.

In addition to Ben, Jessa’s mother, Michelle Duggar, joined her in the hospital during the birth. “The sweetest moment [was] when they raised the baby up and put him on me,” Jessa said in the video. “Just holding him there, I think there were just so many emotions in that moment [and] so many things that you’re processing. It’s been a year since we lost our last baby and just a flood of emotions.”

Jessa and Ben welcomed their fifth baby after they suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage last year. They announced that they were expecting in September, and revealed they were “so thankful God has blessed us with a rainbow baby.” The doting parents also share four other children together, including sons Spurgeon and Henry and daughters Ivy and Fern.

Marcus Jordan did not worry about the shot clock when it came to courting Larsa Pippen.

While the owner of the Trophy Room boutique in Orlando and the Real Housewives of Miami star have been in a relationship for more than a year, going Instagram-official in January, they met back in 2019—so before the pandemic put a damper on everyone’s social scene—at a party hosted by Nike’s Jordan Brand. 

Marcus was liaising with VIPs who were hoping to get into the “top secret section” to mingle in the vicinity of his father, Michael Jordan, and someone from Larsa’s group of friends texted him for an entrée.

“I just felt like, even at that point—we hadn’t really hung out yet and we were just meeting—I found myself staring at you across the room,” Marcus reminisced on the June 12 debut episode of the couple’s podcast, Separation Anxiety, “wanting to talk to you and get to know you more, but I feel like we didn’t have that opportunity. We just kind of said ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ and kept it moving.”

But numbers were exchanged, and they stayed in touch through text and Instagram. “Plus we’ve got a lot of mutual friends,” added Marcus, who’s celebrating his 33rd birthday Dec. 24. “So every time I’d be in Miami, I’d say, ‘Hey, I’m in town, what’re you up to, where you at tonight?’ And I feel like it just gradually happened over time.”

One could almost say Marcus had been busy growing into the role of Mr. Right.

15. Fey famously never considered writing a sequel to the hit film, a decision she’s gone on record as regretting. “At the time we did want to start the conversation about the sequel, and for whatever reason I was like, ‘No!!! We shouldn’t do that!'” she told EW in 2014. “Now I look back and I’m like, ‘Why?’ But now, no—it’s too late now.”

As she told Variety in 2018, however, “Maybe it’s better, because we can save all the energy for this.” This being the Mean Girls musical she wrote with husband and 30 Rock composer Jeff Richmond that premiered in 2017 before opening on Broadway in April 2018. Nominated for 12 Tony Awards and nine Drama Desk Awards that year, it won Fey the award for Outstanding Book of a Musical at the latter.

And while there’s been no sequel ever made, there has been a film produced bearing the moniker Mean Girls 2. The made-for-TV “sequel” aired on ABC Family (now Freeform) in 2011 and was a stand-alone story that had nothing to do with the original film aside from having Tim Meadows reprise his role as the school’s principal. It was not well-received. 

John Marks, the producer of A&E’s The Murder of Laci Peterson, which was made with the cooperation of members of Scott’s family, insisted the series wasn’t an attempt to argue the possibility of Scott’s innocence.

 “I just want people to say, ‘What actually happened here?” he says. Amy Savitsky, A&E Senior Vice President of Development and Programming, told People the show “really does give this kind of fascinating full picture, not just of the case itself but set against the backdrop of what was happening in our culture at the time.” And no, she reiterated, they were not trying to exonerate Peterson.

Detectives told NBC News for The Laci Peterson Story: A Dateline Investigation, which aired in April 2017, that, despite there not being DNA or other forensics to explicitly tie Scott to the murder, circumstantial evidence plainly pointed to his guilt.

“He was just calm, like he always was, after they put the handcuffs on him,” Detective Buehler told People about Peterson’s arrest. “When we got him back to the offices, and he had his pool-dyed hair or whatever he said it was, we sat him down. He was not angry. He didn’t ask a whole bunch of questions. The only thing he said was, ‘Is that my wife and son?’ At that point it was sort of like, ‘Come on, Scott.’ So I said, ‘You know the answer to that question.’ Then he did fake sniffles.”

As for whether or not he’ll ever take on the adventure of parenthood?

“Well, I’m trying to get feedback on how I would do,” the media mogul told E! News at Children’s Hospital of Orange County in California in May. “Spending time with these kids and spending time with my niece is definitely something that I love. You know, I have a very close family, a very tight family, so I love family. So, I guess we’ll see.” 

Meanwhile, since meeting in 2021 and making their red carpet debut as a couple the following year, Paige has offered glimpses into their life together. From sharing vacation snaps and PDA pics to uploading images of their coordinating outfits and dinners together, the 26-year-old has captured many sweet moments with Seacrest.

Look back on Seacrest and Paige’s cutest pics:

OK, here’s the thing: the 1994 remake isn’t a bad movie, it’s just a completely unnecessary one. Starring Richard Attenborough, Dylan McDermott, Elizabeth Perkins and Mara Wilson, it doesn’t really add anything new or special, which is obvious as the original 1947 still tends to get more airplay all these years later.

Choice Review: “The movie’s a slow-moving, overblown, never-better-than-competent rendition of the original.”
