Kristen Bell, Dax Shepard root for each other's steamy scenes: 'We're married; we're not dead'

Fox News17-02-2025
Kristen Bell trusts her husband, Dax Shepard, implicitly when it comes to romantic scenes with co-stars.
The "Nobody Wants This" star told E! News that the couple have "foundational trust" in each other.
"Even if Dax hooks up with the most beautiful person in the world at work, I know he's committed to our family. I know he's coming home. I know he loves our children. I know he strives to be a great husband and father," Bell said.
She continued, "We're just human, right? So maybe there could be a day where I'm like, 'I'm actually really nervous that you spend time with that person.' And he could say, 'Oh, OK, let's talk about it. What makes you nervous? What are you thinking?' We have a very open communication."
That trust is key for the times the couple is working on projects with romantic and intimate scenes.
"We root for each other," Bell said. "When he got to make out with Minka Kelly on 'Parenthood,' I was like, 'Yes. Get it.' We're married; we're not dead."
When the situation was reversed and Bell had to kiss her "Nobody Wants This" co-star Adam Brody, Shepard was cool with it.
"Dax also knows there's no real threat there, because Adam and I, if you were to see us in person, there is not chemistry," the mom of two said. "We bicker all the time. We're like an old granny and grampy. It's not hot and heavy on set at all."
Bell previously explained in an interview with eTalk that Shepard acknowledged and appreciated her chemistry with Brody.
"Even I can acknowledge watching it, like, 'Whoa, that's hot,'" she said in October. "My husband said the same thing. Like, watching the first episode, he was like, 'Oh my god, I want you to kiss him so badly.'"
Shepard also directly praised the co-star's chemistry, saying, "My friend... we watched that scene together, the kissing scene, which I'd argue is the very best kissing scene ever, ever put on film."
He continued, "And my best friend, Aaron, from childhood, he goes, 'Does she ever kiss you like that?' No, I didn't even know she could kiss like that."
Shepard and Bell first met at a dinner party for a mutual friend in 2007. A few weeks later, the two ran into each other at a hockey game, and the rest is history.
After their dinner party, Shepard texted Bell saying, "I violated your privacy and got your number from Shauna. How do you feel about that?"
"I was, like, OK, starting it off with a really good joke that makes me feel, like, butterflies. I fell in love with him way before he fell in love with me," Bell recalled.
The two married in 2013 and share two daughters, Lincoln and Delta.

'End of an era': Giuliana Rancic speaks out after E! News canceled

It's the #endofanera, according to longtime E! News host Giuliana Rancic. The former E! News host spoke out in a heartfelt Instagram post after the entertainment news program's cancellation was announced July 24, telling fans that "for 20 incredible years, E! News was my second home and family." Rancic starred on E! News from 2005 to 2021, joining as a cohost in 2006, including some hiatuses. Rancic, arguably one of the show's biggest stars alongside former on-air anchor Ryan Seacrest, left the show after the program's indefinite hiatus in March 2020 due, in part, to the network's suspension of all in-studio work amid the COVID-19 pandemic. The program will continue to air new episodes through Sept. 25. and E! plans to maintain its digital presence with its E! Online website. Staffers were informed of the cancellation on Thursday, July 24, and new episodes are expected to return next week. E! News to go off the air in fall 2025 in second cancellation "As the show comes to an end, I feel so fortunate to have been a part of this pop culture phenomenon that aired in over 100 countries and allowed me to travel around the globe meeting the most amazing and loyal viewers," Rancic wrote on Instagram. "Thank you to every single one of you for letting us into your homes every night," Rancic continued. "Anchoring E! News was my dream job and the professional honor of a lifetime #endofanera." The show returned in November 2022 after it was revived as a late-night news program, co-anchored by actress-singer Adrienne Bailon-Houghton and host Justin Sylvester, who found fame first on the "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." After Bailon-Houghton departed, ex-"Entertainment Tonight" correspondent Keltie Knight joined Sylvester as cohost. "E! News," known for its punchy insider look at the entertainment industry, was originally hosted by reporter Dagny Hultgreen. Over the years, the newscast has featured on-air talent including Rancic, Seacrest, Jason Kennedy, Zuri Hall, Terrence Jenkins (better known as Terrence J), Maria Menounos and Catt Sadler. Some "E! News" correspondents will transition over to Versant, a spin-off of parent company NBCUniversal, although specific job opportunities have not been finalized. E! will continue to air its non-news programming, which includes reality-TV shows such as "Botched Presents: Plastic Surgery Rewind" and "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour," as well as upcoming series "Kimora: Back in the Fab Lane" and "E!'s Dirty Rotten Scandals."

JoJo Siwa And Chris Hughes Share A Healing Moment

JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes's romance keeps going mega viral. After being accused by the internet of sometimes sharing "too much information," JoJo shared a "healing" moment between her and Chris, and now people are changing their tunes. In early June, the Dance Moms and Love Island alums confirmed their relationship was "not platonic any more" after everyone witnessed their friendship blossom on Celebrity Big Brother UK in April. Since then, JoJo and Chris have dominated social media, sharing different aspects of their romance, and the internet has mixed reactions. Earlier this month, people speculated that JoJo and Chris were expecting their first child after watching their TikToks. And earlier this week, people were horrified when Chris shared too much information in an E! News interview about how JoJo calls his testicles "Jimmy and Timmy." Well, the always-online couple dropped a new video, but it appears the internet is not cringing but praising how Chris treats JoJo. On July 24, JoJo shared an Instagram video of her becoming emotional after Chris compliments her hairline. In a lengthy caption, JoJo wrote, "He had no idea of the 2017-2020 hairline memes, that I'm not affected by on the daily anymore, but him saying this out of thin air literally finished healing a part of me." "It's almost like I had a band aid over it for the last 8 years and just wa leaving it there scared to look under it to see if it's healed and he removed it being like why do u have this on before I could even explain what it was," she continued. In the video, JoJo laughs and cries as a slightly confused, but compassionate Chris comforts her. "Lucky lucky girl I am. Don't even think I realize how lucky sometimes 🤍✨🥺." Based on the reactions, people are gushing over this extremely wholesome moment between them: One Instagram user wrote, "Find someone who heals you without even trying❤️" "omg i'm so happy jojo is getting the love she deserves," one person wrote. Another person wrote, "She's in her healing era ✨ and we LOVE that for her!!" Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause said, "This is extremely cute." Someone else said, "He's so soft with her. It's so cute." "He's legitimately the sweetest guy. He's very sweet on you. I love it. You deserve him so much. You deserve real happiness, JoJo," another user wrote. Another Instagram user said, "Stop I'm crying for you. You know you've found your person when they begin healing parts of you that they didn't break & you didn't know could be healed. They love you for every part of you. I'm so happy for you too my goodness😭🤍🤍." And finally, somebody said, "I'm here for this relationship ❤️." Watch JoJo's reaction to Chris in real-time here:
