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.

'Making the Band' singer Sara Rivers dealt legal blow in Sean 'Diddy' Combs lawsuit
Sean "Diddy" Combs' legal battle with "Making the Band" alum Sara Rivers is nearing a close, after a New York judge ordered that all charges against the embattled music mogul be dismissed. Rivers, who appeared on Combs' early 2000s reality show "Making the Band 2" and became a member of hip-hop group Da Band, sued Combs in February on allegations of "unwanted touching," creating a hostile work environment, and fraud while filming the MTV show. The singer also sued several of Combs' companies and business associates for their alleged involvement, including Combs' mother, Janice Combs. In an Aug. 14 ruling in the U.S District Court for the Southern District of New York, Judge Jed S. Rakoff ordered that 21 of the 22 charges listed in Rivers' lawsuit, which span racketeering, assault and battery, forced labor, and false imprisonment, should be dismissed with prejudice, according to court documents obtained by USA TODAY. As a result, Rivers will not be able to refile the dismissed charges in a new case. The remaining charge in Rivers' complaint, which alleges Combs violated the New York City Victims of Gender-Motivated Violence Protection Act through his alleged sexual abuse of Rivers, has not been determined with or without prejudice, leaving the possibility that Rivers could renew her claim in a new lawsuit. Judge Rakoff said he is holding off on a definitive ruling on the gender-motivated violence charge pending a decision from the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on the parameters of the New York law. USA TODAY has reached out to Rivers' attorneys for comment. Combs' attorney, Erica Wolff, celebrated the ruling in a statement to USA TODAY. "From the outset, we have said these claims were meritless, time-barred and legally deficient," Wolff said. "The court agreed, finding no legal basis to allow them to proceed. We are pleased the court carefully analyzed and swiftly dismissed these baseless claims." Combs, who was arrested in September 2024, remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his trial earlier this summer on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transportation to engage in prostitution. In July, the rapper was found guilty on two charges of transportation to engage in prostitution and acquitted of the remaining offenses. Diddy's legal troubles: Every lawsuit and sex abuse allegation against the music mogul Sara Rivers alleged Diddy sexually assaulted her at music studio In her February lawsuit against Combs, Rivers alleged that Combs sexually assaulted her during her time on "Making the Band 2," a music competition series that centered on the creation of Combs' hip-hop group, Da Band. The singer said she had a confrontation with Combs during a trip to Washington, D.C., after Combs demanded Rivers drink a cocktail he provided that she refused. Around this time, Combs also reportedly claimed that Rivers and her bandmates "lacked drive and initiative" because they didn't visit Combs' studio, Daddy's House, to record music. Heeding Combs' criticism, Rivers said she later went to the studio on her own to record. The "Making the Band" alum claimed that shortly after entering the music facility, Combs abruptly approached her, backed her into a corner, and "ran his left hand across her breasts." After Combs let her leave, Rivers reportedly left the studio "in shock and disbelief" that the rapper assaulted her. As a result of Combs' alleged sexual abuse, Rivers "has sustained and will continue to sustain, monetary damages, physical injury, pain and suffering, and serious psychological and emotional distress," the lawsuit stated. 'You make me so mad, I want to eat your flesh' In January, Rivers appeared in Peacock's "Diddy: The Making of a Bad Boy," a documentary that examined Combs' rise to fame and the damning criminal allegations that derailed his media empire. The former TV personality described Combs as a volatile boss who would routinely berate her and her bandmates. "When he got angry with one of my band members, he said, 'You make me so mad, I want to eat your flesh,'" Rivers recalled. Sara Rivers speaks out against Diddy: 'Making the Band' alum alleges 'inappropriate' touching in documentary The singer also accused Combs of sexual misconduct in the special, claiming that he "touched me in a place that he shouldn't have" during a one-on-one incident. "That was inappropriate, and I felt intimidated," Rivers said, later getting choked up. "I'm definitely nervous. ... I haven't said anything for so long, and it's built up."

The podcast that broke the internet
What to know about Taylor Swift's new era. President Donald Trump raises the stakes in his meeting with Russia's leader. And more towns are finding cancer-causing chemicals in their water systems. 👋 Hello! Rebecca Morin here. The vibes for Thursday: sunny, warm and newsy. But first: A centuries-old helmet on another planet? 🌎 Nope, it's just a rock on the surface of Mars that looks to have a pointed peak and a flared "brim." A new era ushered in From a broken heart to one fully restored, Taylor Swift's upcoming era, "The Life of a Showgirl,' will be fun, pop and upbeat − at least according to Travis Kelce, the mega-popstar's boyfriend. Swift made her highly anticipated debut as a guest on Kelce's "New Heights" podcast Wednesday. As the episode began, the singer's website updated with an album cover of her submerged in bathwater in a bedazzled corset, along with an Oct. 3 release date for her new 12-track album. When was the album made? Swift wrote, sang and produced "Showgirl" during the European leg of the Eras Tour, flying to Sweden to record. The album was produced by Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback, along with Swift. The artwork represents the end of her nights on tour. 🎶 Highlights from Swift's interview. Trump's gambit It's like a game of chess. At least that's how President Donald Trump is describing his high-stakes, one-on-one meeting Friday with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska. In an interview with Fox News Radio on Thursday, Trump said he hopes the meeting with Russia's leader will lead to a second meeting with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy where the two sides can hammer out details for a peace deal. Trump will meet with Putin at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage. 👉 Trump said there's a '25% chance' the meeting could fail to advance peace talks. Ukraine's defense: Zelenskyy visited London on Thursday – one day before the Trump-Putin summit – to shore up European support for efforts to prevent any agreement that would carve up Ukraine. 👉 Trump has said a deal could include what he called a land swap. Real quick A Biden-Trump feud Just not the Biden and Trump you might be thinking of. First lady Melania Trump threatened Aug. 6 to sue Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden, for more than $1 billion if he doesn't retract the claim that she was introduced to her husband by convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Hunter Biden said Thursday that he had read the account in newspaper articles dating back to 2019. When asked during an interview whether he would like to apologize to the first lady for his comments, he said: 'F--- that. That's not going to happen.' 👉 What to know about Melania Trump's proposed legal action. What's in your water? More towns have 'forever chemicals' in their water systems, according to new data from the Environmental Protection Agency. A USA TODAY analysis of new test results the EPA released last week shows 839 water systems had yearly averages exceeding EPA limits for two types of forever chemicals. The latest data release showed some smaller communities had reported the most eye-popping concentrations in their drinking water. For example, in Nashville, North Carolina, a town of 6,000 east of Raleigh, the average of two samples taken last fall and this March was 86 times over the limit. 'Forever chemicals' risks: The chemicals, PFAS, or per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, increase the risk of certain types of cancer and other health problems. 👉 See which cities have 'forever chemicals.'
