Modern Family Star Ty Burrell's Quiet Life Outside LA
It's been five years since Modern Family wrapped, and it looks like Ty Burrell — who played Phil Dunphy — is living his best life. Ty, 57, left Los Angeles with his wife, Holly Burrell, and their daughters, Frances and Greta, back in 2020. The family moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, and Ty recently opened up about how he's been coping. 'It's just been spectacular,' he told People on August 3. 'We moved here right after [Modern Family] ended, and I don't have any regrets. It's been lovely and a great place to raise the kids.' Ty went on to admit that his new 'outdoorsy' lifestyle took a bit of getting used to. 'My parents weren't really those kinds of people,' he explained. 'So at first, when we moved here, it almost felt like cosplay, like we were pretending to be people who were outdoorsy, and now we really truly love it.' Interestingly, Ty's onscreen daughter Ariel Winter — who played Alex Dunphy — has also talked openly about leaving LA after the sitcom ended. Ariel, who now lives in Tennessee, admitted last year, 'I don't think LA was ever really my vibe, but I just was nervous.' Can you think of other actors who left LA for a quieter life? Feel free to share in the comments.

Cover story: It's a good time to be Sterling K. Brown
Who among us hasn't contemplated holing up in a bunker, maybe with a good book, a cache of taquitos and, as the immortal Burgess Meredith put it, 'time enough at last'? I'm Glenn Whipp, columnist for the Los Angeles Times, host of The Envelope newsletter and the guy checking to make sure everything is watertight because you never know. Sterling K. Brown has a bunker. He didn't build it. It came with the Ladera Heights house that he and his wife bought a number of years ago. As I mention in my profile of Brown, which covers this week's issue of The Envelope, the couple sealed it off as they didn't want their boys to wander in there. But now that they're older and the world is getting ... let's just say more interesting, they're thinking about opening it up. I don't have a bunker, probably because another 'Twilight Zone' episode is lodged in my brain (I watched a lot of 'Twilight Zone' as a kid): the one where a bunch of angry neighbors use a battering ram to break into a family's shelter. Personally, I don't want to deal with having to clean up that kind of mess. I'd rather take my chances on the outside. Brown just earned an Emmy nomination for his lead role in 'Paradise,' a twisty apocalyptic drama that finds 25,000 people holed up inside a massive domed underground city after a tsunami floods the planet. Like every other drama that uses a shelter in its premise, it deals with all manner of moral conundrums, which leads to some great what-if scenarios. Like: Because space in a bunker is necessarily limited — resources and air being finite — what if you have to shut the door to your kids? 'I'm not going in there without my kids,' Brown says, adding that he'd gladly sacrifice himself so they could live and potentially have at least as much time on the planet as he has enjoyed. 'If they couldn't make it, and I did, I think that is a very particular type of torture,' Brown says. 'My sister lost a son, and that is a pain that I don't wish on any parent, and many parents have to experience it day in and day out. It's not something that I even like to think about. And as an actor, you are asked to contemplate truly wild, preposterous, awful scenarios. That one, losing a child ... I don't want to go there.' Yet, Brown, a man who strives to find something to be grateful for in even the worst scenarios, can't let it end there, his mind drifting back to the show that helped establish his career. 'You know, 'This Is Us' was all about people losing things. You lose people, you lose homes, you lose friendships, you lose marriages. And the underlying theme was: Life goes on. There's still something beautiful to be found on the other side, right? So I guess I would have to remember that, like actively remember that I have had an experience that teaches me that there is something of value if I persist.' It's easy to talk with Brown on just about any subject and our conversations covered a lot of ground. As the headline puts it: 'Ayahuasca. Football. God. Sterling K. Brown has a take on just about everything.' I think you'll enjoy the read. I'll be back in your inbox Friday. And remember: Enjoy every sandwich.

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson's Full Relationship Timeline
We've been blessed with three truly unexpected couples so far this summer: Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, Ana de Armas and Tom Cruise, and Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson. These two are too cute for words (talking about Pam and Liam, obviously), and their relationship has blossomed in the sweetest way over these past few weeks. But things actually started back in Spring 2024, so clearly we need a timeline for everyone obsessed and nosy! It all kicks off when filming begins on The Naked Gun and Pamela and Liam meet for the first time! Liam—fresh off filming—tells People, "With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough, I'll be honest with you. No huge ego. She just comes in to do the work. She's funny and so easy to work with. She's going to be terrific in the film." Pamela chats to Entertainment Weekly and reveals that she and Liam bonded over their love for literature and laughing, saying "We had many dinners out with the cast. I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming." Pamela is in the thick of press for The Naked Gun, and tells Entertainment Tonight "I think I have a friend forever in Liam. And we definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving, and he's a good guy." Things escalate. By which I mean Pamela kisses Liam on the red carpet. Obviously, everyone starts wondering whether they're dating, or merely leaning into the press cycle for their film. Either way, they're so cute I can't stand it. Liam and Pam tease audiences by pretending to make out on The Today Show: Co-host Craig Melvin asks the pair "What's the deal here? You're both single right now. There's clearly chemistry. Are you two an item?" And Pam jokes "I don't understand the question." Liam then cryptically says "I had never met Pamela before. We met on set. And we discovered we had a lovely budding chemistry as two actors. It was like 'Ooo, this is nice, let's not mold this. Let's just let it breathe.' And that's what we did." Meanwhile, source tells People that Liam and Pamela are "enjoying each other's company," and that "it's a budding romance in the early stages. It's sincere, and it's clear they're smitten with each other." An insider also chats to Us Weekly, saying "Pamela and Liam are dating" and that they "always had chemistry while they were filming and their friendship naturally developed into more." They add that becoming a couple is "new," that they're "learning how to navigate it together," and are "both shy and have tried to stay private but the spark between them is obvious." Meanwhile, ANOTHER source tells the Daily Mail, "Pam is very drawn to Liam because he is totally open to her way of thinking and living, and especially her approach to fame, which is impressive. She has been telling friends he is smitten and does a lot of sweet things for her, like sending her flowers, and spending time with her sons and dogs. Pam cooks and gardens at home... it's wholesome and appealing and very un-Hollywood and Liam loves that. He actually gets involved." Not one to be excluded, a source tells Page Six, "Getting close to him has been on her mind since she was cast. He's f–king Liam Neeson. She has always found him attractive and interesting. What is happening? Even they may not know. They are figuring things out along the way. It's fun to watch. Pamela is a romantic." Meanwhile, Pamela and Liam hold hands during a radio interview: Liam says the highlight of his career is working with Pam in what might be the sweetest interview I've ever seen. Amid RUDE speculation that this could all be a PR stunt, another source tells Page Six that "It's very sincere how they feel. That is the truth. They're not going to show up on the red carpet and be adorable just to be fake, that's not either of them." The insider added, "This is happening in real time, here and now, so I don't know what things look like moving forward. They make for a beautiful couple…Liam is a gentleman, he's warm and present, he's a very lovely man." That's all for now, but we'll be keeping this updated!
