‘Selling Sunset' Season 9 has a newcomer — Sofia Vergara's sister
Sofia Vergara's little sister, Sandra Vergara, 36, has joined the Season 9 cast of 'Selling Sunset,' Variety reported on Monday, July 14.

The 53-year-old Emmy nominee's baby sister is set to star alongside returning cast members Chrishell Stause, Emma Hernan, Chelsea Lazkani, Bre Tiesi, Mary Bonnet, Amanza Smith, Alanna Gold, Romain Bonnet, Nicole Young, and CEO twin brothers Jason Oppenheim and Brett Oppenheim.
Sandra's no stranger to the limelight, though.
While Sofia's look-alike younger sibling has a career in selling luxury real estate, she started as an entertainment journalist and was a host on E! with RuPaul and worked as a correspondent for People.
This also won't be her first time on the silver screen.
The 'Modern Family' alum's sister has also been featured in episodes of 'Nip/Tuck,' 'CSI,' and 'The Bold and the Beautiful.'

New people, of course, come with fresh drama.
'Selling Sunset' Season 9 promises to follow the Oppenheim Group family as they battle to sell multimillion-dollar properties to the wealthy, with the synopsis given to Variety reading, 'where new faces will bring new feuds into the Los Angeles real estate market. As the pressure turns up in their personal and professional lives, some might not have what it takes to keep their seat at the brokerage. As the landscape in Los Angeles quickly changes, everyone will have to adapt to a new reality.'
But Sandra isn't the only newcomer to the O Group, as cast members have also been added a little further down south.
10 All eyes will be on the younger Vergara sibling but she's not the only new addition.

10 The O Group's Orange County show, 'Selling the OC,' will also feature some fresh faces.

'Selling the OC' has gained three newbies to the Season 4 cast, including Kaylee Riccardi, Fiona Belle and Ashtyn Zerboni, per the outlet.
They will join returning cast members Jason Oppenheim, Alex Hall, Polly Brindle, Tyler Stanaland, Gio Helou, Austin Victoria and Brandi Marshall.
'Selling the OC' will feature the company's Orange County agents 'who are ready to establish their office as the top brokerage within the Oppenheim Group. As the competition heats up for some high-stakes listings, some may get burned as devastating rumors divide the team.'

Ricciardi is a veteran in the industry, with 13 years in selling luxury real estate under his belt. He got his start managing high-priced short-term rentals during Coachella, which progressed into event-based rentals with affluent clientele.
Zerboni is a former model and actress-turned-real estate agent, who has worked with the Oppenheim Group in La Jolla and Orange County.
Belle is considered the greenest addition to 'Selling the OC.'
10 However, both shows weren't without drama last season.

At 23, the Orange County native just joined the company in 2024. She has 'proud Italian roots' and is 'a first-generation college graduate.'
Both shows haven't been short on drama, with Bre Tiesi at the center of most conflicts on 'Selling Sunset' last season.
The reality star — who was married to ex-NFL star Johnny Manziel from 2018 to 2021 and shares son, Legendary, 3, with Nick Cannon — was tasked with the dilemma of telling her castmate Chelsea Lazkani that her husband was 'making out' with another woman and even helped her former athlete ex find a home.
10 Sofia's sister has also been a correspondent and host of E!

During Manziel's cameo, he recalled the emotional toll his split from Tiesi took on him. He admitted to begging, crying and pleading with her to reconsider their divorce following rumors he had cheated during their relationship.
Tiesi's co-star Mary Bonnet also aired out dirty laundry, but took a shot at producers when she accused them of orchestrating her pregnancy reveal scene.
While Sandra shared a post about her 'Selling Sunset' debut saying she was 'beyond grateful' for the 'wild' experience, her famous older sister has yet to comment on her reality TV sibling.
The Post reached out to Sofia's rep for comment.
A release date for both 'Selling Sunset' and 'Selling the OC' will be announced at a later date.

'Devil Wears Prada 2' photos tease Anne Hathaway's possible love interest
Andy Sachs has officially left the "lumpy blue sweater" behind. Photos from the set of "The Devil Wears Prada 2" may offer some insight into the big-city life of Anne Hathaway's character two decades after the beloved original book adaptation came out on June 30, 2006. In photos captured Aug. 5 on the streets of Brooklyn, Hathaway, 42, is seen getting cozy with a new costar, "Colin from Accounts" actor/creator Patrick Brammall. Hathaway, whose character Andy is presumably out from under the thumb of "Runway" magazine overlord Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), dons a glittery blue, shin-length Rabanne dress from the designer's 2026 cruise collection. Perhaps an ode to the cerulean sweater that prompted Priestly's long-winded rant in the original film? That remains to be seen. It's unclear what character Brammall, 49, plays in the sequel. The Australian actor is married to "Colin from Accounts" costar and co-creator Harriet Dyer. In the first "Devil Wears Prada," Andy's love life is largely a casualty as her job as Priestly's second assistant takes precedence. She lives with her boyfriend, Nate (Adrian Grenier), but the two ultimately are unable to find middle ground as Andy develops an edge while working in the cutthroat fashion world. She also dabbles in a romance with journalist Christian Thompson (Simon Baker), which doesn't pan out. Details of the highly anticipated sequel are scant while it's in production, but fans have for weeks dissected the characters' fashion, as captured in paparazzi photos. "The Devil Wears Prada," based on the book of the same name, grossed more than $325 million at the worldwide box office and earned Streep an Academy Award nomination for best actress. 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' cast Among the returning stars are Meryl Streep, Emily Blunt and Stanley Tucci. Lucy Liu, Justin Theroux and B.J. Novak flesh out the cast, according to Variety and People. Undoubtedly bringing comic relief, "Sex Lives of College Girls" actress Pauline Chalamet will also appear, according to the outlets. The film has also brought in Broadway talent, with "Maybe Happy Ending" star Helen J. Shen and "Oh, Mary!" actor Conrad Ricamora confirmed, per Variety. The halls of Runway won't be missing familiar faces, though. Tracie Thoms, who played Lily, Hathaway's best friend, will reprise her character, as will Tibor Feldman, who portrayed media executive Irv Ravitz. David Frankel, director of the original "Devil Wears Prada," is returning for the sequel, and the first movie's screenwriter, Aline Brosh McKenna, is writing the script. "The Devil Wears Prada 2" will give Hathaway the opportunity to revisit one of her most iconic early roles, 20 years later. The first movie hit theaters just five years after she made her film debut with 2001's "The Princess Diaries." When will 'The Devil Wears Prada 2' come out? "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is set for release on May 1, 2026. Contributing: Brendan Morrow and Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY

How Seth Rogen pulled double duty with ‘The Studio' and ‘Platonic': ‘Hard work pays off'
Seth Rogen doesn't take his job lightly. The star, 43, was so invested in both of his Apple TV+ shows that he pulled double duty while filming. Rogen currently stars as Matt Remick in the Emmy-nominated dark comedy, 'The Studio,' and also portrays Will on the dramedy series, 'Platonic.' 11 Luke Macfarlane attends the season two premiere of 'Platonic.' Apple TV+ via Getty Images His 'Platonic' co-star, Luke Macfarlane, revealed how the actor was able to pull it off. 'Going into season two, you know, Seth had just finished filming 'The Studio,'' he exclusively told The Post. 'So we were very curious what 'The Studio' was going to turn into. And now, of course, we know what 'The Studio' turned into.' Macfarlane, 45, added, 'It is this incredible, brilliant, beautiful show. That he was, by the way, working on while he was filming Season 1 of 'Platonic.' Which is also, just as an actor, an incredible sort of reminder that hard work can pay off.' 11 Luke Macfarlane talks to Alexandra Bellusci of the Post. 11 Seth Rogen in 'The Studio.' The Hallmark star reminisced about how Rogen would juggle both roles at the same time. 'He was literally finishing scenes on 'Platonic' and going in his trailer and typing away,' continued Macfarlane. 'So it's delightful to come back and do a second season of the show. I think we all had a tremendous amount of time. It also feels like a lot of people that enjoy working together, and getting to work together again.' Looking back at filming the second season, one memory in particular has stuck with the 'Bros' vet. 11 Seth Rogen as Matt Remick in 'The Studio.' Apple+ 'Seth really respects what everyone does,' Macfarlane said. 'You know, Seth did an amazing thing once, actually. Somebody on set who kind of shouldn't have said this told me to do something.' He explained, 'I was wearing a lav, a microphone, and I brought my hand to my lav, and I covered the lav in the scene. And somebody said something to me like, 'Oh, don't do that with your hand, you'll cover your lav.'' Rogen made sure that was the end of stepping in where you shouldn't. 11 Luke Macfarlane in 'Platonic.' 'And Seth actually said to that person, 'Don't tell an actor what to do. That's not your job,'' Macfarlane shared. 'Just watching somebody look out for his fellow actors – that's what he does.' 'He's got integrity,' Macfarlane gushed. 'He knows how to look out for his actors. He really cares about an actor feeling comfortable.' Rogen also made sure to keep the laughs coming. 11 Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne in 'Platonic.' 'Seth is very famous for a lot of things. I think he's really famous for that laugh, you know?' Macfarlane mused. 'And I will say, working with Seth, you always want to get him to do that laugh. It makes you very happy when you make Seth laugh. So I will say the most Seth Rogen thing you can get him to do is laugh.' Rogen wasn't the only one who hit Macfarlane's funny bone. 'Rose makes me laugh a lot,' he dished about his on-screen wife. 'I think we're filming a scene where I was, like, popping in and out of a doorway, and of course, the timing was hilarious. So we were just making each other laugh because I felt like I kept on missing the entrance.' 11 Luke Macfarlane, Rose Byrne, and Seth Rogen speak at Apple's 'Platonic' Los Angeles event. Getty Images for Today at Apple 'It's something early in the season where I'm sort of like, you know, doing the sticking my head [in], and I just kept on sticking my head in at the wrong time. So that made us both laugh quite a bit.' These days, the Canadian hunk is focused on bringing Season 2 to the masses. 'Platonic' follows former best friends, Sylvia (Byrne) and Will (Rogen), who reconnect after a years-long rift. The second season drops on Wednesday, August 6, with Macfarlane describing what fans are in store for. 11 Carla Gallo, Luke Macfarlane, Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen. Getty Images 'Friendship, chaos, and comedy,' he stated. Macfarlane's Charlie, meanwhile, is trying to navigate his partner's reignited friendship. 'This second season is different for my character, because in the first season, my character is the rock,' he detailed. 'This season, he's definitely the character that is, oof, a little bit sort of lost. Lost in the weeds. So it was fun to kind of explore this other side of him where he's a little bit more sort of floundering in the universe.' 11 Seth Rogan in a scene from 'The Studio.' Apple+ But Macfarlane is happy to step back into Charlie's shoes for such a hilarious and sweet series. After all, he is 'most comfortable [in] comedy.' 'I get to wear sort of the most normal clothes,' elaborated Macfarlane. 'I like doing comedy. That's what I feel the most comfortable in.' 11 Seth Rogan looks upset in a scene from 'The Studio.' Apple+ Rogen is serving all sorts of comedy playing Remick – the newly appointed head of Continental Studios. He is juggling corporate demands, talent, and his own ambitions, all while trying to keep movies relevant. In June, Rogen opened up about what he wanted to portray with the show, which many people in the industry have related to in a very real way. 'I mean, I don't know if our specific goal was to trigger a trauma in people,' he told The Playlist, 'but it was meant to capture our own experiences with it as viscerally as possible. And that was a word we used a lot.' 11 A still from the 2025 drama 'The Studio.' 'So yeah,' he went on. 'I think the idea that people who have experienced similar things have a visceral reaction to it, I think it does mean that it is a good expression of our experience and what we were trying to put out there.' Rogen noted: 'But yeah, it's based on a lot of traumatic things I've experienced, so…'

Lee Min Of K-Pop Duo As One Dead At 46: R&B Singer Found In Apartment
The Korean music industry is mourning after the sudden and unexpected death of Lee Min. The Korean-American singer debuted in 1999 as one half of the duo As One with her band mate Crystal and spent over 25 years active in the scene, recently releasing new music this past summer. Lee was 46. BrandNew Music, the music agency representing Lee and As One, confirmed the news to Korean newspaper Hankook Ilbo on Wednesday, August 6. 'It is true that Lee Min has passed away,' a representative is quoted saying per The Korea Herald. 'The police are currently investigating the exact circumstances. The company is also still trying to understand the situation." Soompi adds that a BrandNew Music representative also shared, 'Last night, Lee Min's husband discovered her when he returned home. The police are conducting an investigation. We ask that people refrain from excessive speculation until the results are released.' The Korea Herald added that music industry sources first reported on Wednesday that Lee was found dead at her home on the previous afternoon on Tuesday, August 5. Min Lee Biography: From Los Angeles to Late '90s K-Pop Fame Born on December 15, 1978, Min Lee (neé Lee Min-young) was born in Seoul, South Korea, but moved to the United States with her family at just eight months. Lee grew up in the Los Angeles, California area, the same city as her future As One band mate Crystal (neé Chae Da-hee), where she graduated from Fairfax High School, the SoCal school whose alumni include Mila Kunis, Demi Moore and Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. In 1999, Lee and Chae debuted together as the R&B duo As One with their first album Day by Day released on November 23, 1999, during a particularly busy month for Korean-pop acts with new releases by top girl group S.E.S., boy band g.o.d, punk band Crying Nut and the dance-rap collective Koyote. Still, As One managed to stand out from the competition for their experienced vocal styles with Day by Day songs like the title track and 'Wish You Wouldn't Know' becoming beloved classics, the latter of which was covered by popular K-pop singer Gain for a compilation album in 2012. As One scored other hit songs including 'Want and Resent,' 'You're Welcome' and 'Do You Have to Be Sorry.' After the release of their fourth album Restoration in 2004, the duo signed with EMI Korea and joined a roster that included top K-pop acts of the day including DJ DOC and girl group Baby V.O.X. and continued releasing singles and albums. In 2012, the duo moved to BrandNew Music, a Korean music company founded by Korean rapper and producer Rhymer, which allowed their past works to be celebrated and shared with a new generation of K-pop listeners with songs like 'Day By Day 2012' featuring rapper Verbal Jint (which hit the Top 25 of Korea's Gaon Digital Chart) and 'Want and Resent 2013' (a Top 20 hit). While As One took an official pause from 2017 to 2019 to focus on their personal lives, the duo staged a comeback in 2019 with the signle 'It's OK Not to Be OK' featuring popular singer Lee Dae-hwi, a member of BrandNew Music's first boy band AB6IX. As One hosted the radio program K-Popular on TBS eFM radio while remaining active as singers, dropping several holiday and live albums through their career. Most recently, the duo dropped two singles in 2025 including the harmony-heavy mid-tempo English track 'Still My Baby' featuring singer Bumkey, as well as a piano R&B cut 'Happy Birthday to You' in June. The K-Pop Industry Remembers Min Lee Jae Chong, the Seoul-born and Los Angeles–raised producer who has worked with artists like Uhm Jung-hwa, BoA, Jolin Tsai, JYJ and Aziatikx, shared his condolences through social media. 'Just lost another great artist and friend," Chong wrote on his Instagram alongside photos of him with Lee. 'I met Min when she was just 17 with big dreams and took her out to Korea to pursue a career in music back in 1998. I watched her career blossom as an artist. Always considered her as family. She was the most optimistic, positive person I knew. She will be missed dearly. Rest in peace.' Singer Kim Hyun-sung, who debuted in 1997 and also staged a musical comeback in the 2010s, also shared his condolences on social media. 'I wanted to get in touch with you,' he said according to the Maeil Business Newspaper. 'I shouldn't have hesitated. I already miss your smile and the sound of your laugh.'
