"Good Morning America" anchors Amy Robach and TJ Holmes have been together on-air for two years now, but it seems they've been together off-air as well, despite being married to others. The Daily Mail has published a bunch of pics showing the two having multiple rendezvous' all around New York City and, even two weeks before Thanksgiving, taking a romantic cabin getaway in Upstate New York. The context of the photos - giggling and laughing in close proximity, him giving her a little butt-squeeze – seem to make it clear they're more than just friends. The relationship seems to have been going for quite some time, as Page Six reports it started in March when they trained for the New York City half marathon together. And, though neither had officially left their spouses- both of 12 years- until August, Amy and TJ were spotted together in public as early as May.
The jury in the trial of "That '70s Show" star Danny Masterson has announced they are deadlocked, which has led to a mistrial.

The three woman who filed the charges against him are obviously extremely disappointed, but a retrial is scheduled for March 27, 2023.
Kate Middleton and Prince William have landed in Boston for their first visit to the United States since 2014. They'll be here for three days. The two are not expected to meet with William's brother, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle. A source told US Magazine that the four royals could not make their hectic schedules work this time, according to US Magazine. William and Kate are expected to tour the Boston area and meet with various groups working to improve the lives of the local community, as well as host the Earthshot Prize Awards, which go to five winners each year for their contributions to environmentalism.
"Friends" actress Courteney Cox had some fun photo bombing fans on the Warner Brothers set. As fans posed for pictures on the orange couch in front of the iconic fountain you see in the opening credits of the show, she was hiding behind the couch and popping up when the tour guide took the photo. When he handed the phones back to the people and asked them to check the picture, they were shocked to see CC had popped up behind them. Every single person turned, and CC eventually popped back up to surprise them again. Apparently, this wasn't even planned – she just happened to be on set for another project that day and thought she would have a little fun.

Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac has passed away at the age of 79. In a statement, her family said she passed away "peacefully" after a short illness yesterday morning. There's no word on what that illness was, but she did have her loved ones with her. Christine sang lead on some of the Fleetwood Mac Songs, including "Little Lies" and "Everywhere," which is currently being used in a car commercial. She joined Fleetwood Mac as a permanent member in 1971 after marrying bass player John McVie. Her bandmate Stevie Nicks posted on social media, "A few hours ago, I was told that my best friend in the whole world since the first day of 1975, had passed away. I didn't even know she was ill...until late Saturday night. I wanted to be in London; I wanted to get to London—but we were told to wait." She shared a message to Christine as well, writing, "See you on the other side, my love. Don't forget me."
Ashley & Wynonna Judd have tried to get rid of the judge who is presiding over their case to keep their late mom Naomi's death records sealed, according to RadarOnline.com. The Judd family brought the lawsuit forward to prevent the release of any photos, videos, and audio recordings collected by police as part of their investigation. The Sheriff and local media say the records are public records and should be released. The police file contains body cam footage, including interviews of Ashley taken at the scene, photos of the inside of Naomi's home, images of the gun used, the Post-it note Naomi left at the scene, the 911 call made by Ashley on the day of the incident, and text messages between Ashley and the family psychologist. Ashley & Wynonna have argued the material was, "private, incredibly sensitive, and would do nothing more than re-open the fresh wounds of Naomi Judd's death," and they believe the judge has shown a "bias and unfairness" towards them during the court proceedings.
Supermodel and actress Paulina Porizkova has come out to say just how wonderful a person Johnny Depp is, according to OK. The two were in the 1993 movie "Arizona Dream," and Paulina said that's where they became friends. She said he was "one of the first people that taught me to not be judgmental around people you work with." She added that Johnny treated everyone well, noting, "Johnny, who was the world's biggest heartthrob at that time, didn't act like one. He was really kind to the electricians and to the crew," and adding, "Johnny was so nice, he was so kind to the people around him that he sort of became everyone's friend. He was genuinely kind to everyone on set, and I really took note of that. Where he went, he created a little calm space around him of gentleness, kindness. People really responded to that. I was like, 'I want to be like that.'"

The 2022 People of the Year have been announced, and the four who are being honored this year by People are;
Matthew McConaughey, who rushed back to his hometown of Uvalde, Texas after the mass shooting in May, to listen, help, and take the victims' families stories of loss and anger with them to Washington, DC to urge gun reforms. One month later, Congress passed historic federal gun legislation.
Quinta Brunson, the Emmy-winner who created "Abbott Elementary" because she wanted a show that would bridge generational divides, that would get her and her parents and grandparents laughing at the same jokes.
Jennifer Hudson, who made it her mission "to create a platform for everyone, just so we all have a place to feel included" with her new show. She also, at 41, became the youngest woman ever to achieve EGOT status (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award winner).
Mila Kunis, who began a campaign to help Ukraine in February after Russia invaded. To date, she's raised $37 million for refugees in need.
All four will be honored with their own covers when People's 2022 People of the Year issue comes out this week.
I told you this morning about "Good Morning America" hosts Amy Robach and and TJ Holmes getting busted in an affair with each other. Now, RadarOnline.com reports that even though they have both left their spouses, neither of them has filed for divorce from their significant others yet. Sources say people are sympathizing with Amy's husband, "Melrose Place" actor Andrew Shue. The two married in 2010, and he supported her during her battle with breast cancer. They share no children together but have five kids between them from previous marriages.
Not only did "Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Williams have two weddings, but the cake at her second cake at her American reception was so tall that she had to cut it with a sword! She admitted to People, "If 'extra' was a bride, it'd be me. I promise you I did not know that I was this extra."
Believe it or not, this year marks the 30th anniversary of "Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, " and one of the movie's stars, Joe Pesci, said in an interview with People, that is was one of the most physically demanding films he's ever done. Speaking specifically about the stunts he had to do for every booby trap Kevin laid for the burglars, Joe said, "In addition to the expected bumps, bruises, and general pains that you would associate with that particular type of physical humor, I did sustain serious burns to the top of my head during the scene where Harry's hat is set on fire." You might recall that his head was set on fire in the first movie as well as the second. But, Joe did say that he "was fortunate enough to have professional stuntmen do the real heavy stunts." What could be considered more "heavy" than having your head torched?
