Tarek El Moussa cited for battery after Las Vegas altercation
Tarek El Moussa had a brush with the law during a recent family trip to Las Vegas.
The "Flip or Flop" alum, 43, received a citation for battery June 5 after police responded to an incident in the "3300 block of South Las Vegas Boulevard," during which two men "were involved in a physical altercation," the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department confirmed to USA TODAY in an email June 10.
El Moussa and his wife Heather Rae El Moussa, who's costarred with the real estate investor on the series "The Flipping El Moussas" and "The Flip Off," shared a celebratory video montage of their Vegas trip on social media June 6. The post did not address Tarek's altercation or police citation the previous day.
The compilation clip featured lively snippets of the El Moussa clan's visit to Sin City, including outfit reveals, preparation for El Moussa's keynote speaker gig and a theatrical live show.
"Not our average Vegas trip… 🎰💎🖤," Heather Rae El Moussa wrote. "Watched Tarek do his thing on stage (so proud!) and made it extra special by bringing our parents along for the ride. We got to show them a glimpse behind the scenes — our world, our work, and of course, the glam."
She added: "Grateful for these moments that we get to spend together. 🥂✨"
Tarek and Heather Rae El Moussa have been married since October 2021. In January 2023, the couple welcomed their first child, a son named Tristan. Tarek is also father to daughter Taylor, 14, and son Brayden, 9, from his previous marriage to HGTV host Christina Haack.

Everett indicated his departure from the show was due to script changes, and Vanity Fair cited a source who said his character's story reached its conclusion. "Show business is always very difficult, from the beginning to the end," he told the outlet. "When they write the screenplay, they think they want you – but then things change, and they lose your character. I don't know why." Still, Everett said he was upset about not being brought back. "For me, it was a tragedy. I was in bed for two weeks because I couldn't get over it," he said. Lily Collins stars in "Emily in Paris" as Emily Cooper, an American who moves to France for work.

Social media weighs in on High Noon, Celsius mix-up
News that some popular canned cocktails were mislabeled as non-alcoholic energy drinks instantly drew online comparisons to a Willy Wonka-like golden ticket search. Meanwhile, others raised concerns about the mix-up's implications for people who are sober or abstaining from alcohol. High Noon issued a recall on July 29 for its Beach Variety 12-pack vodka seltzers after some cans were mislabeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz Edition drinks, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's website. "Consumption of the liquid in these cans will result in unintentional alcohol ingestion," the recall said. High Noon recall: Vodka seltzers mislabeled as Celsius energy drinks What to know about High Noon recall caused by Celsius cans High Noon said some Celsius cans were mistakenly filled with the alcoholic beverage. The mix-up happened after a shared packaging supplier erroneously shipped empty Celsius cans to High Noon, the company said. According to the recall notice, the affected packs were sent to stores in Florida, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin between July 21 and July 23: "We are working with the FDA, retailers, and distributors to proactively manage the recall to ensure the safety and well-being of our consumers," High Noon said in a statement to USA TODAY.

Can A Struggling HGTV Renovate Its Content?
HGTV has been struggling. Recently, the network has canceled Christina on the Coast, The Flipping El Moussas, Battle on the Beach, Farmhouse Fixer, Married To Real Estate, Bargain Block and Izzy Does It. In an exclusive for Deadline, one source said, 'Home reno shows are expensive because all of the materials are jacked up and on delay, the price of wood and marble and everything else is going up, so these shows don't make as much sense anymore.' HGTV ranked 13th on the list of most watched networks in 2024. However, its viewership dropped 18%. Its total audience fell from 1.5 million in 2017 to 773,000 in 2024. This drop isn't the only issue at the network. As housing and building costs rise in America, home renovation shows have become more expensive to produce. While not looking at TV renovations, the University of Alabama found that in 2024 'the median spend on home renovations totaled $24,000, a 60% increase from 2020.' Even with prices going up, many still plan on renovating. The same report from UoA includes that ' more than half (52%) of American homeowners plan on renovating [in 2024] A larger issue may be homeownership itself. For Q2 2025, the Census Bureau's latest quarterly report showed The homeownership rate at 65.0%, the lowest level since 2019. Similarly, The National Association of Home Builders published in 2024, 'The homeownership rate is below the 25-year average rate of 66.4%, due to a multidecade low for housing affordability conditions.' This is important outside of TV programming for many reasons, but its effects may influence the network. It is easy to blame lower viewership numbers on DIY TikTokers and streaming services (which are also major factors). However, there seems to be something bigger at play as well. Without homes to renovate, younger demographics may simply not be tuning in. The average age of HGTV watchers is 47.3 and over 73% of their audience owns a home. At the same time, a survey from Front Door found that people start DIY projects at an average age of 28. This survey had a couple of other interesting takeaways regarding DIY content. It found that 47% of those who did DIY projects did so because they could not afford professionals and that 52% get their inspiration from social media. The survey found that 'DIYers overwhelmingly rely on the internet when stuck, with 73% consulting YouTube and 60% turning to Google for solutions.' There are multiple factors that may be affecting HGTV, this includes social media. However, social media may be the easiest to overcome or even leverage. HGTV itself has a YouTube channel with over 890k followers. HGTV content is also available to stream through HBO Max. However, content is consistently not among the most viewed titles on the streamer. Between rising costs and lower viewership, HGTV may need to reinvent itself. The network could shift focus to social media-friendly content, lower-cost renovation and even renter-friendly content; however, unless larger factors change, many young people may not need home renovation content without homes.
