Disney's ‘Heavyweights' Cast: Where Are They Now? Ben Stiller, Kenan Thompson and More
The Disney big-screen comedy about youngsters at a 'weight loss camp' and the manic fitness guru Tony Perkis (Stiller) who takes over has since become a cult classic.
'Somehow, I don't think this will be at the head of the Disney+ queue ever. In fact, I'm not sure they are aware they made it,' Stiller wrote via X in February 2025 while honoring the film's 30th Anniversary. 'But that was an incredibly fun summer in North Carolina 30 years ago. #Heavyweights.'
Thompson, who played one of the campers, also reflected on its staying power via Instagram. 'The history books will say this squad instilled a level of fear not yet known to man, and certainly not to @benstiller,' he teased in February 2025. 'THIRTY YEARS of #Heavyweights and it still feels like just yesterday I was packing up for camp. What a time!!!'

‘Bachelor In Paradise' Season 10: Who Is Still Together?
Bachelor in Paradise season 10 is still in full swing, but that doesn't mean we don't know what really went down in Costa Rica. Last week, Bachelor Nation expert and professional spoiler Reality Steve updated his BiP season 10 finale spoilers, revealing which Bachelor in Paradise season 10 couples are still together. Major spoilers for Bachelor in Paradise season 10 ahead! Proceed with caution. According to Reality Steve, four romantic couples make it to the finale: Spencer Conley and Jess Edwards, Alexe Godin and Andrew Spencer, Kat Izzo and Dale Moss, and Jeremy Simon and Bailey Brown. Just because they make it to the finale doesn't necessarily mean they're still together, of in this case, Reality Steve reports that the final four couples are all still going strong! That's the good news. The bad news? According to the blogger, no other couples from Bachelor in Paradise are still together, including the recently eliminated Brian Autz and Parisa Shifteh or any of the Goldens (though this has not been confirmed). Per Steve, here's an update on the four couples still together after leaving BiP. Reality Steve claimed that Jeremy and Bailey are still together, despite the Brian drama that occurred last week. In fact, it's because of that drama—in which Brian told Bailey about Jeremy's lingering feelings for Susie Evans—that we have our most convincing evidence about their current relationship status. After the episode aired, Alexe took to her Instagram Stories to comment and said in part, 'I am so happy that Jeremy and Bailey found a true connection on the show and I continue to wish both of them nothing but the best.' Doesn't sound like something you'd write about a couple that's no longer together! Alexe and Andrew have been hinting at their relationship status on Instagram for a while, so it makes sense that they'd still be together. Last week, Alexe posted some sweet photos of herself and Andrew with the caption, 'mon chéri' ('my honey' in French), while Andrew returned the favor with a series of Rose Ceremony pics captioned 'mon amour' ('my love'). Dale and Kat haven't been posting about each other too much on social media, but Reality Steve reported that the couple does make it to the final three and is still together. According to the blogger, you can expect to see Dale and Kat hit a major speed bump in the finale, when Sean McLaughlin returns to Paradise and accuses Kat of having a boyfriend when she first arrived in Costa Rica. 'It does get pretty messy,' Reality Steve teased. Spencer and Jess have already said their 'I love yous' in Paradise, so it's not super surprising to hear that these two are reportedly still together. Spencer hinted as much in this Instagram Story about the sweet moment, sharing photos of the moment with the caption, 'Already won.' As for who wins... According to Reality Steve, not only do Jess and Spencer win Bachelor in Paradise—they're also the only couple to get engaged this season. Hopefully, fans will get a better update on the BiP season 10 couples at the reunion, which—per Reality Steve—will be filmed on September 3 after the show has finished airing. When that reunion will be released, however, is still tbd.

Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster Called Out for 'Mutual Homewrecking' After Their Relationship Update
Hugh Jackman and Sutton Foster's latest relationship update isn't going over too well with people online. After a source told People that the couple is 'going strong,' seven months after confirming their relationship, and that they've built a 'good foundation,' commenters were quick to criticize the 'foundation' of Jackman and Foster's romance. More from SheKnows When Did Hugh Jackman & Sutton Foster's Alleged Affair Begin? A Full Timeline of Their Relationship 'Is cheating a good foundation for a relationship?' one Instagram user harshly commented under People's Instagram post of the article, while another added that Jackman and Foster's 'foundation' was 'based on mutual homewrecking.' Jackman and Foster have yet to publicly confirm when their relationship began, but endless sources have alleged that the couple started dating while starring in The Music Man on Broadway in 2022. Jackman was still married to his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, with whom he shares two children, Oscar and Ava. Foster was still with her husband, Ted Griffin. They share a daughter, Emily. Jackman and Furness announced their separation in September 2023, a little less than a year before Foster filed for divorce in October 2024. Shortly after her split, Us Weekly published a lengthy report claiming that Foster and Jackman had an affair during their show, which caused the end of his marriage to Furness. 'Deborra-Lee was blindsided when she found out about the affair through the run of the show,' one source alleged. Us Weekly also alleged that Furness, using a private account, had 'liked' an Instagram post in which a fan accused Jackman and Foster of having an affair. Furness later strongly alluded to her ex-husband having an affair after officially filing for divorce in May of this year. 'My heart and compassion goes out to everyone who has traversed the traumatic journey of betrayal. It's a profound wound that cuts deep, however, I believe in a higher power and that God/the universe, whatever you relate to as your guidance, is always working FOR us,' she said in a statement to the Daily Mail. Foster and Jackman stepped out hand-in-hand in Los Angeles in January, confirming their relationship for the first time.
