'Little House on the Prairie' Star, 63, Reveals Her On-Set Crush
Actress Alison Arngrim is best known to Gen Xers for her iconic portrayal of Little House on the Prairie villain Nellie Oleson, rising to fame as a child star in 1974. She played the role for seven seasons before going on to enjoy a long and successful career as an actor, author, and philanthropist.Arngrim began playing Nellie Oleson at age 12, continuing well into her teen years. Despite the show regularly featuring handsome co-stars and guest stars—including future stars like Jason Bateman and Sean Penn (in an uncredited role)—Arngrim found herself drawn to more unexpected on-set figures.
In a recent interview with Telestar France, the 63-year-old actress revealed that it was the show's crew members who caught her eye.
'I was a very strange girl. I had a crush on the crew. I liked the crew members,' Arngrim said. 'I know we had so many handsome actors on the show—so many—but they were like my family.''I always thought the men on our crew were so beautiful,' she continued.
Arngrim has since been married twice—though neither of her former spouses worked on the Little House crew.

4 suspects arrested in burglary of Brad Pitt's home
LOS ANGELES — Four people have been arrested in connection with a burglary at Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home in June, authorities said Monday night. A smash-and-grab theft crew hopped a fence at Pitt's Los Feliz residence on June 25, then ransacked the place and made off with unspecified valuables, police said at the time. Pitt was not home at the time. Jaquory Arman Watson and Damari Zair Charles, both 18, were two of the four suspects identified Monday, according to KNBC. Watson and Charles were arrested last week for an unrelated burglary in Orange County, sources told the station. The other two suspects have not been publicly identified. Watson and Charles are being held without bail in Orange County and pleaded not guilty to the other burglary on Monday, Entertainment Weekly reported. Charges in the Pitt burglary are expected to follow. Investigators believe all four robbers targeted a series of homes in wealthy neighborhoods across Southern California, ABC News reported. They do not believe Pitt was targeted specifically. He was on the road promoting 'F1: The Movie' during the break-in. The break-in at Pitt's home was one of a number of burglaries affecting various stars across Southern California this summer. In late July, thieves attempted to bust into Teddi Mellencamp's residence while she was home, and Los Angeles Dodgers star pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto's home was targeted the following week. _______

Guests and release date revealed for second season of Meghan's lifestyle show
Netflix has released a trailer for season two of the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show – a day after the Sussexes announced a watered-down deal with the streaming giant. The teaser, which Meghan also shared on her Instagram, revealed that the next instalment of With Love, Meghan will air in two weeks' time on August 26. Among the celebrity guests joining the former Suits star during the eight episodes will be US model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen and Queer Eye star Tan France, as well as podcaster Jay Shetty and his cookbook author wife Radhi Devlukia. Also appearing will be chefs Samin Nosrat, Clare Smyth, Christina Tosi, Jose Andres and David Chang, and Meghan's close friends, pilates instructor Heather Dorak and make up artist Daniel Martin. The trailer, to the soundtrack of Bobby Day's upbeat Rockin' Robin, showed Meghan cooking, baking and crafting with her celebrity friends and saying: 'I love the idea of just spending time together … and finding new ways to show people you care.' She adds while being shown wrapping a gift: 'There are easy ways to show up, lovingly.' Meghan also reveals the Duke of Sussex is not a fan of lobster. She tells Andres as they prepare a dish together: 'Do you know who doesn't like lobster? My husband,' with the chef replying, prompting laughter from Meghan: 'And you marry (sic) him?' On Monday, Harry and Meghan announced a 'multi-year, first-look deal for film and television projects', in contrast to their reported 100 million dollar (£74 million) contract five years ago. PR and crisis expert Mark Borkowski described it as a 'downgrade', and suggested Netflix was 'pivoting away' from Harry and Meghan. Season one of With Love, Meghan was savaged by critics. One review in The Guardian described it as a 'gormless lifestyle filler' and 'so pointless it might be the Sussexes' last TV show'. The series has a 3.2 rating out of 10 on Netflix said at the time that the second season had already finished filming. The duchess officially launched her lifestyle brand As Ever, in which Netflix is a partner, just hours after season one premiered in March. She has gone on to sell jam, pre-made baking mixes, herbal tea and rose wine – as well as flower sprinkles, which she heavily promoted during the programme and which are also seen being used in the new trailer.
