'Twilight' Stars Get Cozy in Surprising Reunion and Fans Are 'Here for the Drama'
Nearly 20 years after the first installment in the blockbuster Twilight series premiered, fans are still just as devoted as ever to the actors who played the iconic sparkly-skinned immortals — so it's not a huge surprise that a recent reunion between two members of the Cullen family sparked some serious online gossip.
In a clip shared to TikTok this week from a recent convention, Peter Facinelli (Carlisle Cullen) and Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) snapped a joint selfie, laughing as they tried out different poses. Facinelli, 51, and Reed, 37 — who played "father and daughter" in the movies — were super affectionate with each other in the sweet video, which was all Twihards needed to see before sounding off in the comments about the pair's relationship.
"The hand placement????" one person wrote, with a second adding, "And he kisses her neck, too."
"Ian where are you?" someone else wanted to know (referring to Reed's husband, actor Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries).
"I'm here for the drama," another person declared.
Other commenters dismissed the idea of a romance between the former co-stars.
"OMG GUYS CALM DOWN HE PLAYED HER DAD AND THEY KNOW EACH OTHER FOR OVER TEN YEARS," one fan argued, as another gushed, "SO SWEET!! I love how they are still such close friends."
One thing is certain: Reed and Facinelli are definitely good friends. During a virtual reunion on Instagram Live in 2020, Facinelli joked that Reed was his "favorite daughter" from the Twilight movies, per E! News.
"I wrote to Nikki today and I said, 'You're my favorite daughter. Don't tell the others. You're my favorite child,'" he quipped, adding, "So whoever's on this live chat, don't tell the rest of the Cullens that she's my favorite," he teased.
During the same chat, Reed reflected on their longstanding friendship.
"We've all seen each other go through how many different chapters of life now? It's pretty wild," she told Facinelli.
"When you started the first Twilight I think [your daughter] Fiona was 2 or 3," she continued. "Now I have a 3-year-old. It makes me feel so emotional actually because I don't even know how to put into words what it feels like to look back at life and go, 'Now I see different chapters in life.'"'Twilight' Stars Get Cozy in Surprising Reunion and Fans Are 'Here for the Drama' first appeared on Parade on Jul 16, 2025

How to watch USA Network without cable
The USA Network (usually stylized simply as USA) has been a fixture on U.S. television screens for almost half a century and is the place to watch the bulk of NBC's live sport broadcasting. Yes, USA is a cable channel. But, as any card carrying cord cutter will tell you, that is only a minor hurdle to getting access to USA Network. A quick perusal of our guide to the best streaming services will show you that USA is available on pretty much all of the most well known online OTT services, with Sling TV leading the way in terms of best value. If you're searching for the best way to watch USA Network without cable, you've come to the right place. Below we list some go-to options below, together with advice for watching USA outside of the United States. The array of sports that USA provides coverage for is dizzying. College basketball, PGA and Ryder Cup golf, The Open, Grand Slam tennis such as Wimbledon and the U.S, Open Premier League soccer, NASCAR, and high-profile horse racing such as the Breeders' Cup all air on USA, and it carries hours upon hours of the summer and winter Olympics action, too. Outside of sport, it also shows TV dramas, movies, picks up some syndicated programming from ABC and NBC (e.g. "Chicago Fire", "Shark Tank", etc) and puts out the odd original like "Resident Alien". USA Network is available on a selection of the best cable TV alternatives. The best value of the lot is Sling TV, which has the lowest starting price of any service we recommend. Sling includes USA Network among the 40+ channels in its Sling Blue package, alongside the likes of CNN, Discovery, Fox, MSNBC and TLC. Sling TV starts at $46/month but you can get your first month for 50% off. Sling TV: Sling TV Blue gets you access USA Network from just $45.99/month.

There are other options, of course. Hulu + Live TV, DIrectTV and YouTube TV – home to the NFL Sunday Ticket – all offer USA, making it one of the most widely available channels to access for cord cutters. Traveling abroad but want to watch something on the USA Network that isn't being shown where you are? Try to watch USA on the likes of Sling TV or Fubo and you'll soon discover that you can't due to geo-restrictions. However, you can still watch your favorite sports and shows as you usually would thanks to the wonders of a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The software allows your devices to appear to be back in your home country regardless of where in the world you are. So ideal for watching sport on USA when away on vacation or business.

THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT to End in 2026 as CBS Retires Iconic Late-Night Franchise — GeekTyrant
CBS has confirmed a major shift in late-night television and its been announced that The Late Show with Stephen Colbert will end in May 2026. ' The Late Show With Stephen Colbert will end its historic run in May 2026 at the end of the broadcast season,' CBS executives said in a joint statement. 'We consider Stephen Colbert irreplaceable and will retire The Late Show franchise at that time. We are proud that Stephen called CBS home. He and the broadcast will be remembered in the pantheon of greats that graced late-night television.' The statement was issued by George Cheeks, Co-CEO of Paramount Global and President and CEO of CBS; Amy Reisenbach, President of CBS Entertainment; and David Stapf, President of CBS Studios. Colbert broke the news during Tuesday's taping, telling the audience, 'I'm not being replaced, this is all just going away.' According to CBS, the decision was 'purely a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night' and 'is not related in any way to the show's performance, content or other matters happening at Paramount.' The move coincides with Colbert's contract ending in late 2026, but the timing has raised eyebrows. Just days ago, Colbert called Paramount Global's $16 million settlement of Donald Trump's lawsuit a 'big fat bribe.' Even tonight's guest, Sen. Adam Schiff (D-CA), hinted at controversy, tweeting: 'Just finished taping with Stephen Colbert who announced his show was cancelled. If Paramount and CBS ended The Late Show for political reasons, the public deserves to know. And deserves better.' CBS maintains that politics had nothing to do with it, but speculation will no doubt spread, especially with Skydance currently working to acquire Paramount. As for what's next for Colbert, maybe he will reunite with Jon Stewart over at The Daily Show . Stewart recently extended his run on the Comedy Central staple through 2025. While nothing is confirmed, fans are already speculating about the possibility. This decision comes as the late-night landscape continues to shrink. CBS recently canceled After Midnight rather than replace host Taylor Tomlinson, and audiences have been steadily declining across the board. The Late Show launched in 1993 with David Letterman after his legendary move from NBC. Letterman hosted until 2015, when Colbert, fresh off his success on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report , took the chair. His tenure was marked by sharp political commentary and standout interviews that made headlines worldwide. When the final episode airs in May 2026, it won't just mark the end of Colbert's era, it will close the curtain on a late-night institution that entertained audiences for more than three decades.
