Garcelle Beauvais on Lifetime, 'Real Housewives,' election, more
Garcelle Beauvais chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about her Lifetime movie, "Tempted by Love," and new "Real Housewives of Beverly Hill" season.
Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards' daughter Sami says she was bullied for looking like her famous father.
On Tuesday's episode of Richards' new Bravo reality show, "Denise Richards and Her Wild Things," Sheen opened up about her resemblance to the "Two and a Half Men" actor – and wanting to change her looks because of it.
During a car ride on the way to a consultation appointment for a nose job, Sheen said she's wanted the procedure "for as long as I can remember."
"Imagine how much prettier I'll be," Sheen said. "(I'll be) able to contour without there being lumps on the side of it," to which Richards replied, "Maybe we need to take you to an eye doctor" instead.

Sheen suggested that part of the reason she was bullied as school was due to her controversial pair of famous parents.
"I had to deal with kids bullying me," Sheen revealed. "People would say I looked like my dad. I actually got a comment the other day of someone saying, 'You'll never be as pretty as your mom,'" wondering if she would have wanted a new nose had she "lived in Alabama" and had parents who "worked a normal job."
Sheen made headlines in the mid-2010s for hardcore drug use, rehab stints, legal issues, outbursts, on-set antics and multiple romantic entanglements. Richards has made headlines in her own right for joining OnlyFans, following in the footsteps of her eldest daughter, her relationship with Sheen and her on-screen behavior on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills."
Later in the episode, Sheen went to get the rhinoplasty — without her parents in attendance. Richards later let it slip to middle daughter Lola Sheen that her sister was getting the procedure done.
"I can't believe I just did that," Richards said into the camera.
Earlier this year, Sheen's mom Richards opened up about a scary injury she sustained during her stint on Fox's "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test" involving a cosmetic change of her own.
During a January interview on Sirius XM's "Jeff Lewis Live," Richards revealed she ruptured her breast implants while competing after host Jeff Lewis listed off some of her stunts on the show, including jumping from a boat to a helicopter.
"I jumped off a bridge, too, and that's when I ruptured my implants — off of that thing," Richards said while accompanied by her husband Aaron Phypers.

Watch a star-studded 'Hamilton' performance at the 2025 Tony Awards
Broadway's biggest stars got to be, once again, in the room where it happened. To mark the 10th anniversary of the breakout production, nearly 30 members of the original "Hamilton" cast reunited on the Tony's stage Sunday night to perform some of the show's biggest hits. Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda was joined by Leslie Odom Jr., Jonathan Groff, Daveed Diggs and others for a medley of songs that drew raucous cheers from the crowd at Radio City Music Hall on June 8. With numbers like "My Shot," "The Schuyler Sisters" and "The Room Where It Happens," the ensemble invoked the historical tension of a colonial America with soaring melodies and witty rhymes, reminding the audience why "Hamilton" became a smash in the first place. Jonathan Groff opens up about death, Bobby Darin and why he's done with birthday wishes A lively, hip-hop-infused take on early American history, "Hamilton" has become a cultural phenomenon, catapulting both Odom and Miranda from Broadway performers to bona fide Hollywood stars. Premiering at Broadway's Richard Rodgers Theatre in August 2015 to widespread critical acclaim, it went on to win a whopping 11 Tony Awards, including best musical. A filmed version of the show starring the original cast debuted on Disney+ in 2020. Set with a multi-racial cast, and heavily influenced by rap and hip-hop, the show reimagines the making of America, weaving in the very people its founding document was penned to leave out. Cole Escola makes Tony Awards history as first nonbinary best leading actor in a play Who won the Tonys? One musical certainly had a standout night. "Maybe Happy Ending," Will Aronson and Hue Park's musical on two "helperbots" and their journey of friendship, love and adventure, swept the awards with six wins, which included prizes for best musical, best original score, best book of a musical and best scenic design of a musical. See the full list of winners here. Miranda's revived Tonys performance comes as the production opted to remove shows at the Kennedy Center in the wake of a conservative rebrand under President Donald Trump. "Political disagreement and debate are vital expressions of democracy. These basic concepts of freedom are at the very heart of 'Hamilton,'" show producer Jeffrey Seller wrote in a statement in March. "However, some institutions are sacred and should be protected from politics. The Kennedy Center is one such institution." In February, Trump announced a massive overhaul at the Kennedy Center that included the termination of multiple board of trustees members and Chairman David Rubenstein. Installing himself as the new chairman, Trump cited the center's decision to host drag show performances at its venue as the reason for the changes in a Truth Social post earlier this year.

Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400M countersuit against Blake Lively
Judge dismisses Justin Baldoni's $400M countersuit against Blake Lively Show Caption Hide Caption Blake Lively's team slams Baldoni's over Taylor Swift subpoena Blake Lively's team has condemned Justin Baldoni's team's decision to subpoena Taylor Swift, calling it a blatant attempt to exploit Lively's friendship for tabloid attention. unbranded - Entertainment Justin Baldoni's $400 million countersuit against his "It Ends with Us" costar Blake Lively, her husband, Ryan Reynolds, and The New York Times has been dismissed by a judge. The "It Ends with Us" director first sued Lively, Reynolds and the Times after the actress went public with claims Baldoni sexually harassed her and helped orchestrate a smear campaign against her. The lawsuit was filed in response to Lively's sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit in late 2024. Judge Lewis Liman granted a June 9 motion for dismissal from Lively's legal team because Baldoni's claims of civil extortion, defamation and false light did not hold up legally. However, the judge is allowing Baldoni's team another chance to address specific claims by filing a second amended complaint – for breach of implied covenant and tortious interference with contract – by June 23. Reynolds, Lively and publicist Leslie Sloane's request for Baldoni to cover their attorneys' fees was denied without prejudice, meaning their request could also be refiled. USA TODAY has reached out to Baldoni's reps for comment. "Today's opinion is a total victory and a complete vindication for Blake Lively, along with those that Justin Baldoni and the Wayfarer Parties dragged into their retaliatory lawsuit, including Ryan Reynolds, Leslie Sloane and The New York Times," Lively's lawyers said in a Monday, June 9, statement to USA TODAY. "As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it," the statement continued. "We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan, and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation." In a filing reviewed by USA TODAY, the judge noted that Baldoni's complaint focused on two main claims. First, he alleged Lively threatened to refuse to promote "It Ends with Us" and attack him publicly if he didn't agree to give her control over the movie. The complaint argued this amounted to civil extortion. But Liman said the complaint did not adequately allege that Lively's "threats were wrongful extortion rather than legally permissible hard bargaining or renegotiation of working conditions." The judge also determined that Baldoni and his fellow plaintiffs failed to show that they were damaged by some of Lively's allegedly "extortionate acts." Secondly, Baldoni's complaint alleged that Lively, Reynolds, Sloane and the Times "spread a false narrative that Baldoni committed sexual misconduct towards" Lively and engaged in a smear campaign against her. But the judge said the complaint did not allege that Lively "is responsible for any statements" other than those made in a California Civil Rights Department complaint, which are privileged. As for statements made by Reynolds, Sloane and the Times, the judge said the complaint did not allege that these parties "would have seriously doubted these statements were true based on the information available to them," which is required for them to be liable for defamation.
