Virgin dating series 'Are You My First?' hasn't even premiered yet, but is already flooded with applicants for Season 2
They're making the best 'laid' plans. The new virgin dating series 'Are You My First?' hasn't even premiered yet, but celibate singles are already hoping the show gets renewed for a second season — so they can lose their innocence on national television. 'I have never had so many virgins sliding into my DMs … But I will say this, if and when Season 2 happens, we will have a wide variety of virgins flocking to the show,' its co-host, former 'Bachelor' Colton Underwood, told The Post ahead of its Aug. 18 premiere. 'I've also received a lot of friends nominating people. And then when you click on their profile, I'm like, 'Oh my gosh, they would be good.' I definitely have a list of screenshots and saves for Season 2 for casting.' The Hulu series, which was created by the producers of 'Love Island,' follows 21 virgins — ranging in age from 24 to 34 — on their quest to lose their v-cards. 5 Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe are the hosts of the new virgin dating show 'Are You My First?' on Hulu. Disney Underwood's co-host Kaitlyn Bristowe, who starred as 'The Bachelorette' in 2015, faced backlash for being the first leading lady to speak openly about having sex — admitting she did the deed with more than one contestant. The 40-year-old Canadian native said the terrible way she was treated back then has helped her sympathize with the virgins. 'It gave me a bit more empathy for people who chose not to have sex because I was like, 'Well, who am I to judge those people seeing how badly I got judged?'' she said. 5 On her 'Bachelorette' season in 2015, Bristowe got engaged to Shawn Booth. Underwood, who starred as 'Bachelor' in 2019, dated Cassie Randolph. Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images Bristowe found it surreal to see the virgins so reserved when it came to kissing — with one of the contestants, 28-year-old Katya, a theatre artist from Manhattan, going so far as to tell the man she was interested in he'd have to 'earn' her smooch. 'I was thinking of my night one as 'The Bachelorette.' And that was like child's play to me because I was like, 'I'm gonna make out with as many as I can and see who I have chemistry with.'' Bristowe, who got engaged to personal trainer Shawn Booth on 'The Bachelorette' and dated him for three years before their split in 2018, said it was refreshing to witness the cast's 'intentional' approach to courtship. 'We are so used to the craziness that we see on usual reality TV shows with dating where I'm like almost uncomfy, where this is like a sweeter, softer version,' she said. 'It's also crazy that we see somebody have their first kiss on camera ever. That's wild to me.' 5 'Are You My First?' features 21 virgins from around the country, ranging in age from 24 to 34. Disney Underwood, 33, starred as 'The Bachelor' in 2019, and at the time, he was a virgin. The Indiana native ended up dating contestant Cassie Randolph, a speech pathologist, for almost two years — and when they split, he confessed he was gay. 'Mine is a very complex story that America now knows,' he said. 'I think that when people watch this show, they're really going to understand there's so many reasons that people decide not to lose their virginity at a young age.' 5 'I think that when people watch this show, they're really going to understand there's so many reasons that people decide not to lose their virginity at a young age,' Underwood said about the 'Are You My First?' contestants, several of whom cited religion. Disney Several of the 'Are You My First?' contestants — many of whom are Mormon — revealed their religion was preventing them from giving it up. 'As a Christian man, it is easy to hide behind your faith — and I say that with all the respect to my faith and to Christianity — when you have other insecurities and other traumatic things that you're trying to work through,' said Underwood. Although the fact that some of the contestants — like a cocktail waitress and an NFL cheerleader — were still virgins may shock viewers, the hosts said they were not surprised. 'You spend a minute around them and you're like, 'Oh, I get it now,'' Underwood said. 5 During one awkward moment on the series, Michael, a stand-up comedian from Austin, tells Rachael, a cocktail waitress from Tampa, that his celebrity crush is William Howard Taft. Disney The hosts also had their fill of boring banter and anemic pickup lines — like when Michael, 26, a stand-up comedian from Austin, TX, revealed his celebrity crush was the late 27th president, William Howard Taft. 'I didn't even know who that is,' Underwood confessed. Bristowe said it was the awkward silences that really got to her. 'Everything in me wants to step in and be like, 'Somebody say something!''

Halle Berry Trolls Ex-Husband David Justice's Remarks About Why They Split While Celebrating Birthday: ‘Phew'
Halle Berry spent her birthday trolling ex-husband David Justice's recent comments about why their relationship didn't work out. 'Phew…! cooking, cleaning and mothering,' the actress, 59, wrote via Instagram alongside a series of snaps while celebrating her birthday in a tropical destination on Thursday, August 14. The first photo of the slideshow featured Berry smiling brightly as she posed in front of the ocean. Berry rocked a yellow bikini plus a blue and white bandana. An additional pic showed off Berry and boyfriend Van Hunt relaxing in a cabana and snacking on some chips. Berry also included multiple shots of her taking in the tropical paradise, including one of her holding a glass of wine between her toes as she lay out to overlook the ocean. Berry also gave a glimpse of her birthday celebration, including a slice of chocolate cake with a candle on it. She also received a card seemingly from her kids, Nahla, 17, and Maceo, 11, as it was addressed to 'Mom' on the envelope. (The Oscar winner shares Nahla with ex-boyfriend Gabriel Aubry, and Maceo with ex-husband Olivier Martinez.) Halle Berry's Ex David Justice Admits Questioning Whether She Was the 'Woman He'd Have Kids With' Berry's caption was a subtle dig at Justice's remarks earlier this month about his reasoning for why he and the actress separated in 1996. 'I was young and I had only, honestly, been in one relationship before her. My knowledge and my understanding, my wisdom around relationships just wasn't vast,' the former baseball player, 59, said while appearing on the 'All the Smoke' podcast in August. 'So, I'm looking at my mom and I'm a Midwest guy. So, in my mind, I'm thinking a wife at that time should cook, clean.' Justice continued: 'Then I'm thinking, 'OK, if we have kids, is this the woman I want to have kids with and build a family with?' At that time, as a young guy, she don't cook, don't clean, don't really seem like motherly, and then we start having issues. I'll say this, we never had any issues about any women, other men.' Berry and Justice tied the knot on New Year's Day in 1993 after meeting the previous year. The pair split in 1996 and finalized their divorce the following year. In 2001, Berry moved on with Eric Benét, whom she was married to from 2001 to 2005. Following her split from Benét, she moved on with Aubry from 2005 to 2010. Berry was later linked to Martinez from 2013 to 2016. The Catwoman actress has been in a relationship with Hunt since 2020. Solve the daily Crossword
