Harry Hamlin celebrates one year of sobriety
The 73-year-old actor - who is married to reality TV star Lisa Rinna - has revealed that he hasn't drunk any alcohol since 2024.
Speaking on the Let's Not Talk About the Husband podcast, Harry shared: "Today's one year. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I decided to not use alcohol again."
Harry has actually lost "a considerable amount of weight" since he quit drinking and started intermittent fasting.
The actor - who has been married to Lisa since 1997 - suggested that he's actually been happier and healthier since he stopped drinking.
He said: "It was not difficult for me at all.
"I'm very happy [not drinking]. I was always tempted to have a glass of wine in the evening, have some liquor to go to sleep."
Harry has quit drinking before, including a four-year spell of sobriety in the 2010s, and he even joined Alcoholics Anonymous at one point in time.
The actor thinks he really benefited from his experience with Alcoholics Anonymous.
He said: "Everybody should do the programme. One of the greatest gifts that I ever got was doing that for that four-year period."
Harry's two brothers were both alcoholics, and so he's always been very conscious of his own drinking habits.
He reflected: "It is what it is. It's not that big a deal in my life, by the way. For a lot of people, stopping drinking is a huge deal. For me, it's something I'm happy about doing."
Meanwhile, Harry previously revealed that respect and support have been key to his marriage to Lisa.
He told Us Weekly: "If we could bottle and sell it, that would be good. I don't think anybody knows. It comes down to listening and being respectful and supportive. Lisa is Lisa, and that in and of itself is kind of a challenge, which is why I don't follow [her] on social media."
Lisa also believes that they have complementary personalities.
The 62-year-old star said: "In our case, opposites attract. And we're good at allowing the other person to be who they are and do what they want."

'Delicate dilemma': Prince William and Prince Harry caught in quiet competition for the coveted godfather role to the Duke of Westminster's newborn daughter
Prince William and Prince Harry are once again on opposing sides- this time over who will be chosen as godfather to their close friend, the Duke of Westminster's first child. Hugh Grosvenor, 34, and his wife, Olivia, 32, welcomed daughter Cosima Florence Grosvenor last month, just over a year after their lavish Chester Cathedral wedding. Grosvenor, who is King Charles III's godson and affectionately known as Hughie, is one of the closest friends of both William and Harry, and one of the few people chosen as a godparent by both royal brothers. He is godfather to both Prince George, 12, and Prince Archie, six. On Sunday, friends close to the Duke and Duchess of Westminster told The Times that "no decision has yet been made" about Cosima's godparents, but it remains a "particularly delicate dilemma". While it's believed William, 43, will take up the role, the new father is still weighing up whether to also ask Harry, 40, despite ongoing family tensions since the Sussexes stepped back from royal duties in 2020 and moved to California. Both brothers are understood to have sent congratulations following Cosima's birth on July 27, though no date has been set for her christening. Notably, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not attend Grosvenor's wedding last June. Prince William, by contrast, played a key role as usher on the day, greeting guests and guiding them to their seats before the ceremony. His wife, Princess Catherine, was unable to attend due to receiving chemotherapy treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer and is understood to have remained at home in Windsor with their three children. Reports later revealed Grosvenor had considered inviting Harry and Meghan but feared the royal rift would overshadow the nuptials. At the time, a friend of the princes told The Sunday Times: "It's incredibly sad it has come to this. Hugh is one of very few close friends of William and Harry's who has maintained strong bonds and a line of communication with both. "He wishes they could put their heads together and patch things up, but realises it's unlikely to happen before the wedding. "He wanted to avoid anything overshadowing the day, especially for Olivia, and doesn't want any awkwardness." Sources close to the Sussexes later suggested they had received a "save the date" card but opted not to attend, as it would have been"too awkward". Now 7th Duke of Westminster, Grosvenor inherited an estimated £9 billion (AUD $18 billion) fortune from his late father, Gerald Cavendish Grosvenor, who died in 2016. His inheritance includes 140,000 acres across Oxfordshire, Cheshire, Lancashire and Scotland, along with 300 acres in Mayfair and Belgravia.

Dancing has taught me some life lessons, says Julianne Hough
Julianne Hough's dancing career has taught her some important "life lessons". The 37-year-old star - who joined Dancing with the Stars back in 2007 - believes her career has taught her the value of "resilience and tenacity". Speaking to Us Weekly, Julianne explained: "There were definite life lessons along the way. "[Learning] dance and technique and professionally are important, but [also we learned] the life lessons of resilience and tenacity and how to show up and add value, how to be connected to your uniqueness. All of those things shaped us, from our guides and our mentors." Derek Hough, Julianne's brother, believes that his own dance career has helped to shape his character. The TV star said: "My coaches, my mentors [and] a lot of the lessons that I've learned [from the dance studio made me] who I am today as a man, and as a person. "[It was] from my teachers, you know, the way they taught me [and] the way they [acted] toward me." Despite this, Derek previously admitted to putting lots of pressure on himself during his younger years. The professional dancer confessed to suffering from self-doubts in the early days. During an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show, the show's host asked Derek: "You also have a lot of pressures to be perfect and to always win. How do you handle that?" Derek replied: "At a very young age, I had this belief in myself, which was, 'Am I enough? Am I good enough?' "Over time, in order to feel I am enough, I had to achieve something. In order for me to feel that I was worthy, I had to succeed, I had to win. Only then would I feel I was enough." Derek struggled to find fulfilment during his younger years. However, he's learned some important lessons during the course of his career. Derek - who is best known for his appearances on Dancing with the Stars - explained: "I didn't really realise at the time was it's not really about what we achieve in this life that really matters, it's who we become as a person along the way."
