Garcelle Beauvais dishes on the romance in new film 'Tempted by Love'
Garcelle Beauvais chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about her new Lifetime movie, "Tempted by Love" and the portrayal of women on TV.
Sami Sheen is revealing a fractured relationship with dad Charlie Sheen.
The 21-year-old shared the surprising confession as her famous father joined the fray at a family lunch on Tuesday's episode of "Denise Richards & Her Wild Things."
"I would rather do literally anything else than go to lunch with my father," Sami Sheen said during a confessional on the Bravo reality show, admitting she and her dad hadn't spoken in months.
The admission came after mom Richards spilled the beans on camera amid a lunch with her ex and their younger daughter Lola, 19.
Richards, who was married to Sheen from 2002 until their controversial split in 2006, said the family's relationship with the "Two and a Half Men" star is "up and down." Sheen made headlines in the mid-2010s for hardcore drug use, rehab stints, legal issues, outbursts, on-set antics and multiple romantic entanglements.
Denise Richards' daughter Sami says she was bullied for looking like dad Charlie Sheen
"The girls have been through a lot with their dad," Richards added.
Though Lola Sheen said she is "so close" with her dad, calling it a "such a blessing" to share their bond, her sister said she hasn't had the same experiences. "My relationship with my dad has definitely improved. We started getting pedicures together like every two to three weeks, and that's like our favorite thing to do together," Lola Sheen said.
In a separate confessional, Sami Sheen explained her complicated relationship with her dad: "Me and my dad haven't really spoken much in the past five months. It goes in very big chunks with him. I think for the first 13 years of my life, it was pretty bad, and then we were OK for a couple years, and now it's just like, OK."
Richard says she understands "why Sami feels the way she does" and "it hasn't always been perfect with he and Lola, either — with any of his kids, so I hope that he does recognize that because he's missing out."
Lola Sheen acknowledged that her older sister gets her signature "dark humor" from their dad.
"Hopefully. How is she? Is she good?" the actor asked.
Sami Sheen previously said she was bullied for looking like dad Charlie Sheen
The first season of "Wild Things" has certainly lived up to its name.
On a March 11 episode of the buzzy reality show, Sami Sheen said she was bullied for looking like her father and opened up about her resemblance to her "Two and a Half Men" alum dad.
The hurtful comments pushed her to get a rhinoplasty, which was documented on the show. Sheen said she wanted the procedure "for as long as I can remember."
"Imagine how much prettier I'll be," Sheen said.

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.

Frederick Forsyth, award-winning 'Day of the Jackal' thriller novelist, dies at 86

Frederick Forsyth, award-winning 'Day of the Jackal' thriller novelist, dies at 86 British author and journalist Frederick Forsyth, best known for thriller novels such as "The Day of the Jackal," "The Odessa File," "The Fourth Protocol" and "The Dogs of War," has died. He was 86. Forsyth, who reportedly sold more than 70 million copies of his books, died on Monday, June 9, at his home in Jordans, England, Penguin Random House representative Alexis Welby confirmed to USA TODAY. Forsyth's literary agent, Jonathan Lloyd, did not specify the writer's cause of death but told The New York Times that he died following a "short illness." Forsyth's signature style, which consisted of exhilarating portraits of international political affairs, was inspired by the author's real-life journalism career. Following a stint in the Royal Air Force, Forsyth worked as a reporter for publications such as the Eastern Daily Press, Reuters and the BBC. Forsyth worked as a correspondent at the BBC until 1968. He was reassigned from his role after criticizing British aid to Nigeria during the Biafran War. His debut novel, 1969's "The Biafran Story," was a nonfiction account of the Nigerian civil conflict. Forsyth also made an impact on the silver screen. Several of his novels — 1971's "The Day of the Jackal," 1972's "The Odessa File," 1974's "The Dogs of War" and 1984's "The Fourth Protocol" — were adapted into hit films.

The Golden Globe-nominated TV series of the same name in 2024, starring Eddie Redmayne and Lashana Lynch, was also based on Forsyth's novel. In 2012, Forsyth received the Diamond Dagger award from the Crime Writers' Association, in recognition of his influence on the crime thriller genre. Previously, he was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire in his native U.K. Loretta Swit dies: 'M*A*S*H' star was 87 Forsyth's latest novel "Revenge of Odessa," a sequel to "The Odessa File" co-authored with Tony Kent, is set to be released on Nov. 18.
