"Sister Wives" star Janelle Brown got real about her feelings toward Robyn Brown, telling US Weekly, "I get so tired of 'counselor Robyn.'" She dished in the "Sister Wives: One-on-One" special that Robyn trying to play peacemaker has become a big part of the problem when it comes to the relationship with Kody, especially because Robyn usually takes Kody's side. Janelle said, "It just feels like she's placating him."
UPDATE on following story: New reports claim she did not disapprove: https://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/nelson-mandelas-granddaughter-defends-prince-harry-meghan-markle-legends-quotes-new-docuseries#selection-2301.0-2321.284 Nelson Mandela's granddaughter Ndileka Mandela is upset that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle keep using her grandfather's quotes and aligning themselves with him, starting off with the couple claiming their recently released Netflix documentary was inspired by the late activist, according to OK. Nikola said, "I don't believe [Harry] nor Meghan have ever properly met granddad, maybe when Harry was young at Buckingham Palace, but they are using his quotations in the documentary to draw in people and make millions without the Mandela family benefiting." She added, "I know the Nelson Mandela Foundation has supported the initiative but people have stolen grandfather's quotes for years and have used his legacy because they know his name sells – Harry and Meghan are no different from them," pointing out, "What relevance does grandad's life have with his?"
"Bullet Train" actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson is rumored to be in talks to be the next James Bond. Sources say he's even met with the producers and that it went well. The only problem is that with the next film being a couple of years away, the producers are worried that Aaron will get too famous, which is not something they want. With the Spider-Man spinoff "Kraven the Hunter" and "The Fall Guy" coming up, Aaron might become "too famous to take on Bond."

As "Hawkeye" star Jeremy Renner continues his recovery from a snowplow accident, new details are coming out as to just how severely injured he was.

"Full House" star Ashley Olsen married her longtime boyfriend Louis Eisner last week in Los Angeles. Page Six reports only 50 people were at the wedding on December 28th. No word on if her sisters Mary-Kate or Elizabeth were there.
During a recent interview, "Euphoria" star Sydney Sweeney (Cassie) has fans scrutinizing her every word after the way she pronounced the word "homage." She pronounced it "HO-midge" while the internet believes it should be pronounced "AAH-mij," or "HAA-mij." Though people are calling her out on it, they're being gentle about it. OK posted some of the comments, which included, "I'm obsessed with the way Sydney Sweeney pronounces homage," and "She didn't know how to read homage lol (HOME-age) it's ok tho." The girl's only 25, and as long as the dictionary gives you multiple ways to pronounce it, that's a free pass in my book to say it any way you want.

Matthew and Chilli have been together since at least Thanksgiving, and Matthew and Cheryl's divorce was finalized in September. The couple is still fighting over custody of their dog.
If you've always been jealous of the Kardashians and their long, thick hair, it's all just smoke and mirrors. Kim recently posted a clip on TikTok showing off her natural length, and it's barely shoulder length. Her sister, Kylie, showed off a similar natural length back in October. So now you know – you can buy hair in a bag just like they do. In the meantime, Khloe posted a fun pic showing off some clip-on bangs, pointing out how they "changed the shape of my face," and somehow that led to people accusing her of heavy editing and lots of surgery (see the pics at pagesix.com). Khloe clapped back, "I openly talk about my nose job and anyone who 'looks up' to me must know I've lost over 60 pounds over the years. So recently the only change is the bangs. I didn't know I had to do a running list." She also had something to say to someone who accused her of using diabetic medicine to help her lose weight, responding, "Let's not discredit my years of working out. I get up 5 days [sic] a week at 6am to train. Please stop with your assumptions. I guess new year still means mean people."
Simon Cowell has done his fair share of reality and live shows, but you won't see him host a talk show anytime soon, according to OK. When asked if he'd consider going on Kelly Clarkson or Jennifer Hudson's talk shows, both who were on "American Idol" and have their own shows now, Simon said no and admitted he was even offered his own talk show once but he backed out. He said, "Literally, I got to the point where they built the set and I started to get anxious and then really stressed out, and I just walked out and I just said I literally couldn't do this. I just couldn't talk to people all day long. I'm not very good at talking."
