What Meghan Markle's Netflix Show Ranking Really Says About Its Future
If you follow the television business, then you know it's been a rough ride for many streaming and network shows — Hollywood isn't for the faint of heart. That also means someone like Meghan Markle isn't immune to those highs and lows of the entertainment industry. On July 17, Netflix shared a revealing look at how its shows are doing in the first half of 2025 with its official Engagement Report, and it offered a realistic perspective into the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan. More from SheKnows Prince Harry Finds an Unexpected Royal Ally Amid Family Rift - He's 'Suffered So Much' Per the report, Meghan's show ranked No. 383 with 5.3 million views after its March 4 premiere. In comparison to the streamer's most-watched shows, Adolescence, with 145 million views, Squid Games Season 2, with 117 million views, and Squid Games Season 3, with 72 million views. With Love, Meghan landed in 10th place in the Top 10 a week after its debut, but soon fell off the charts. The good news is that the Duchess of Sussex already has a confirmed Season 2 that will debut in the fall with guest Chrissy Teigen on the first episode. Still, the lifestyle show will have to better those numbers if Meghan's show wants to have a third season. Netflix's Engagement Report came out of the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild strikes for more transparency on how shows are doing on the streamers — and Meghan has a sobering look at where she needs to improve in the second season. Ted Sarandos, co-CEO of Netflix, explained at the Fast Company Innovation Festival in New York City in September 2024 why he prefers the new model of transparency. 'Put the number out there so that talent can see it, so that agents can see it, so that the press can see it, and know what's a hit and what's a miss,' he said, per Deadline. Even though Netflix has a partnership to distribute Meghan's As Ever products with her, her TV show will likely need to pick up a little more steam in the fall if she wants a renewal for Season 3.

L.A.'s new Photo Booth Museum captures a different era of selfies
In Los Angeles, analog photo booths have been growing in popularity, and these film photo booths can be increasingly found scattered throughout the city. It's official: Vintage photo booths are having a moment. Over their digital counterparts, the cool crowd is opting for old-school photo booth portraits developed on the spot and printed on black-and-white film. I get the appeal—after a recent visit to Paris, a film strip of four shots of my fiancé and me from a 1960s Montmartre photo booth is one of my favorite souvenirs. The tactile strip captures a specific moment in time—and feels more significant than dozens of attempts for the perfect selfie. Leading the resurgence is Bay Area-based photo booth supplier Photomatica, which has seen its business boom in recent years—especially when Chrissy Teigen ordered one of its restored vintage booths for herself. Photomatica also custom-makes retro-looking digital photo booths, which can be found in venues like Desert 5 Spot, El Cid and the Fonda and El Rey theaters (it also just unveiled an analog booth at the Beverly Hilton last month). But after opening a Photo Booth Museum in San Francisco's Castro District earlier this year, the company has brought the concept here, to the heart of Silver Lake. Starting Thursday, July 17, for the first time, you'll have four analog photo booths in one place—plus one vintage-style (and adorable) digital photo booth from the 2020s—to choose from for your own personal photo shoot. Styled as a 1970s living room, the 'museum' is not a museum, as such. True, there are little print-outs detailing the history of each machine, but beyond that, don't expect to learn a ton about the inner workings of photo booths. But be honest, that's probably not why you're here, anyway. The vintage machines—made by L.A.-based photo booth manufacturer Auto-Photo—date back to the 1950s, '60s and '70s, and have been lovingly restored by Photomatica so they're in pristine working condition. This is even more impressive when you learn that there are only some 250 functional analog photo booths still in existence. Inside the vintage booths, be ready to strike a pose as soon as you push the button—you get very little warning. And afterward, expect to wait three to five minutes for your film strip to print (still pretty remarkable, when you think about it). When the strip does come out, be careful—it'll be wet with the chemicals used in the rapid, darkroom-style development process. There are blow-dryers plugged in throughout the space for this very purpose. My favorites were the Model 14—the first to your left as you walk in—with a groovy, heart-shaped pattern as the background, and the earlier Model 11 from the 1950s, which sports a starry backdrop. Many of the machines have handy mirrors on the outside so you can check your appearance before you head in for your close-up. All of the analog booths print in black-and-white, which I was fine with (I think I actually prefer the way I look in grayscale). And as someone who admittedly doesn't love having my picture taken, by the time I got to the third booth, I was definitely having fun with it. Some machines produce more washed-out results, while some prints come out darker, but I found the lighting in each booth to be surprisingly flattering—and besides, perfect uniformity isn't the point here. But—not to be basic—the contemporary, millennial-pink take on a vintage booth did call out to me. And as far as digital photo booths go, it offered a superior experience to most you'll find in a bar. You could choose from color or black-and-white photos, and the color option still had a 1970s vibe, with its orange-curtain background. Plus, it admittedly is nice to be able to preview your shot on a screen and know when the flash is about to go off. The digital is also the best option for if you're in a hurry—the digital photos print instantly—and it's the only one in the museum that supplies you with two prints of your photo session, perfect for you and a friend or date. There's no admission fee, but you can expect to pay $7.50 for each turn in a film photo booth (which gets a little confusing when you see the '25 cents' and '50 cents' signs on the outside of these booths from back in the day) or $6.50 in the digital booth. That adds up to $36.50 if you want to sample each once—plus an extra $10 if you want to hit up the key chain booth, where you can choose one of your shots to frame and decorate with charms. That fee also includes a scan of your photos—you'll give an employee at the desk your email address and will receive a digital backup of your pics. The preview was incredibly popular (read: crowded), so if that's any indication, expect to wait in line for a bit outside, then to wait in an additional line for each individual photo booth. That being said, with my folder full of mementos that I'll likely hold onto forever, the wait ultimately felt worth it. The museum is on the corner of West Sunset Boulevard and Hyperion Avenue—a very central Silver Lake location—so there are lots of walkable spots in the surrounding blocks. Typically, a photo booth moment is a fun addendum to a night out, not the whole attraction. But I can see the Photo Booth Museum being a popular stop on girls' nights out—two people can fit into each booth comfortably, but more are welcome to squeeze in for a group shot. Or you could always pair a photo shoot with a few scoops at Salt & Straw or the adjacent Pazzo Gelato, followed by a pint at 33 Taps —sounds like the perfect summer date night. The Photo Booth Museum is located at 3827 West Sunset Boulevard. It's open daily from 1pm to 9pm. Admission is free, but analog booths cost $7.50, and the digital booth costs $6.50.

Something I used to cope, to escape, to survive," they wrote Moving forward, they will focus on being "fully present"Model and singer Courtney Stodden is announcing they are quitting drinking. The former Celebrity Big Brother star, who uses they/them pronouns, shared the news on Instagram on Tuesday, July 15, noting they were hesitant to publicly post, but doing so is part of their healing."Alcohol, I'm breaking up with you. It's been a toxic relationship for years. Something I used to cope, to escape, to survive. But it's hurt me more than it's ever helped me—publicly and privately," wrote Stodden, who announced in April 2021 they are non-binary. "Last night was the last time. I'm done letting it control me. I'm done feeling sick and ashamed. I want to be fully present in my life," they continued. "I want to face my past, my trauma, and my current reality with clear eyes and real strength." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In May 2021, Stodden made headlines when they revealed they'd been bullied online years earlier by model Chrissy Teigen, who has since publicly apologized. About a decade earlier, in 2011, Stodden married then-51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison at age 16. The couple finalized their divorce in January 2020, after separating three years earlier. "To those who understand this battle—thank you. Please respect my space as I walk this new path," Stodden concluded the announcement about her choice to forgo alcohol. "It's not easy, but it's necessary." Read the original article on People

Chrissy Teigen's Cute New Photos of Her Kids on Vacation Had Mom-Shamers Quick to Dial In
As Chrissy Teigen enjoys a family vacation with her four kids, who she shares with husband John Legend, she can't escape the mom-shamers. The Cravings author shared the cutest new photos and videos with her little ones — and they garnered a ton of rude and invasive comments from people. 'Kiss sandwich 🥪,' Teigen captioned the post, referring to the first video in the carousel. In it, Teigen and Legend sit on a couch with Wren in the middle. They kiss both of Wren's cheeks, squishing them and making the almost 2-year-old smile. Wren sits on his mom's lap, who is dressed casually in a black sports bra and matching leggings, and everyone was quick to remark on her body and fuel pregnancy speculation. More from SheKnows Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Stole Her Mom's Phone for the Sweetest Reason & the Resulting Photo Is Perfect '🧐Do we have another bun in the oven 🧐🧐,' one person wrote. Another person rudely said, 'Don't tell me your prego again, you have a drinking problem remember?' Where do people get the audacity to be this mean on the internet?! Others just commented a version of 'Is she pregnant?' because god forbid a woman eat a hamburger and gets bloated. Luckily, people with a bit of human decency defended Teigen. Like one person, who said, 'We would be so pissed if a man made this comment about her appearance/weight. BUT we're totally ok when a woman does it?! When in doubt, don't comment. A woman's weight can go up and down as hormones fluctuate.' Someone else said, 'in the year of our Lord 2025, WHYYYYY are we still asking people this question?' 'wild of you to ask someone you DONT know if they are pregnant 😂' another person addressed the haters. 'she could literally be 39weeks and six days pregnant….. It's not our business.' Exactly! It's a mother's right to announce a pregnancy when and if she decides to. You don't win a prize for guessing if she was pregnant before everyone else! Best case, you ruin someone's moment, worst case, you trigger a wave of grief and/or complicated feelings about a woman's body and family planning. It's just not worth it. Teigen herself addressed the rumors, and for the record, she is not pregnant. 'I wish,' she wrote back. 'Just eating awesome food.' Period! Last year, the Chrissy & Dave Dine Out star was asked on the red carpet if she wanted another baby now that Wren was walking (another question you just shouldn't ask), and Legend piped up from behind her shouting, 'No!' Later, Legend said having four kids is 'just so much love in the house,' and Teigen replied, 'And that's what it would be like if we have a fifth!' Teigen and Legend, who are parents to Wren, Esti, 2, Miles, 7, and Luna, 9, experienced a loss with their baby Jack at 20 weeks pregnant in 2020. In 2021, she told PEOPLE about the heartbreaking experience: 'I've learned how strong physically and mentally a body can be. I've learned how strong I am,' she said. 'This year has been a roller coaster for everybody in the world, including our little family.'

Khloe Kardashian, Chrissy Teigen and Kristen Bell Are as Obsessed With Dr. Becky as Your Mom Friends
If you've ever googled 'am I a terrible mom or just tired' chances are you've ultimately landed in the calm, comforting world of Dr. Becky Kennedy at Good Inside — and if you haven't yet, ask Kristen Bell, Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively or pretty much any parent you know. The clinical-psychologist-turned-parenting-expert has more than 3 million Instagram followers who turn to her when parenting gets rough — whether it's kids hitting their siblings, refusing to go to sleep or getting into daily standoffs over disappointing snacks — and many of them are seriously A-list. Chrissy Teigen, is the latest star to make regular moms extremely jealous by getting personal access to the guru, spending an hour chatting to her for the June 25 episode of her podcast, 'Self Conscious.' Teigen, 39, who shares Luna, 9, Miles, 7, Esti and Wren, both 2, with singer John Legend, took to Instagram afterwards to rave about Kennedy. 'Oh man. I could nottt wait for this talk with she wrote. 'Of course, the conversation centered around parenting and all its ups and downs, but I didn't realize that so much of our convo would bring me back to my own childhood. I didn't grow up with a lot of emotional mirroring — no one really reflected back my sadness or joy — so now, learning to do that for my kids sometimes feels…a bit foreign at times. But boy do I f***ing do it. Because I want to raise kids who feel seen, safe, and sure of themselves.' She added that the conversation had her 'laughing, crying and realizing that parenting isn't about perfection.' How Kourtney Kardashian, Ryan Reynolds and More Are Gentle Parenting: Co-Sleeping and Beyond Earlier in June, Kennedy also appeared on Khloé Kardashian's 'Khloé in Wonderland' podcast, on the topic of 'Raising Resilient Kids, Setting Limits and Mom Guilt.' Kardashian, 41 — who has two kids: daughter True, 7, and son Tatum, 2 — told Kennedy that her phone 'lit up like a Christmas tree' when she told her circle that she was meeting with her. It seems this academic (and mother of three kids herself) is one of the few names out there who can get even the most famous people in the world feeling seriously starstruck. And it's been a rapid rise: in March 2020, she had just 200 Instagram followers when she posted some wise words that ended up going viral: 'Most young kids will remember how their family home felt during the coronavirus panic more than anything specific about the virus. Our kids are watching us and learning about how to respond to stress and uncertainty. Let's wire our kids for resilience, not panic.' So, why does Kennedy's brand of wisdom resonate so much with millennial celebrity moms and dads? In the '80s and '90s it seemed like stars outsourced all things parenting to fleets of nannies, or at the very least subscribed to strict, structured self-styled gurus like Gina Ford, famous worldwide for her 'controlled crying' techniques. Now, they're nodding knowingly when Kennedy says things like 'Kids are born with all the feelings but none of the skills to manage the feelings' and showing the world that they are advocates for the brand of kind, gentle but 'sturdy' parenting that Kennedy promotes. Unlike the old-school parenting playbooks full of sticker charts and consequences, Dr. Becky's approach is more therapist-meets-bestie. Well, celebrities are a lot more warm and fuzzy these days in general than they were a few decades ago. Now, thanks to social media, we know them — or at least feel like we do. Following Dr. Becky at Good Inside — Amy Schumer, James Van Der Beek, Gwyneth Paltrow, Ashley Graham and Reese Witherspoon are also on the long list — shows the world that they're not shallow, disinterested parents who are raising messed-up nepo babies, but that they really care. And when we see these stars endorsing Kennedy's philosophies and techniques by engaging with her online, we realize that celebrity kids aren't perfect robo-children, they're just as messy and complicated as our own regular kids. There's something reassuring and comforting in realizing that even the genetically-blessed offspring spawned by Grammy winning musicians and gazillionaire supermodels still get angry when their Switch is taken away or throw a tantrum when their cucumber is cut the wrong way. The Best Celebrity Parenting Quotes of 2024, From Angelina Jolie to Ryan Reynolds It helps that Kennedy, unlike many of the colder, sometimes more patronizing 'experts' dispensing wisdom online, is super likeable. She's eager to emphasize that her own kids aren't perfect either, and she delivers her advice and ideas with the warm energy of your most emotionally intelligent girlfriend. She's built her mini-empire — her Good Inside platform offers online workshops and her book of the same name is a New York Times bestseller — around the concept that all kids are 'good inside,' even when they're scribbling on the walls or biting the dog. And of course, that's going to particularly appeal to high-profile parents who are worried their kids are growing up with privileges they didn't necessarily experience themselves. Mostly, though, stars love Dr. Kennedy for the same reason as the rest of Us: she makes you feel like you haven't completely ruined your child just because you lost it over a yogurt tube. Bell and Graham have talked about using her methods to manage their kids' big feelings, but that advice works just as well for the average overstimulated parent hiding in the bathroom scrolling Instagram while secretly eating a cookie. And while her advice is psychologically grounded, it's also refreshingly non-judgmental. She doesn't shame. She doesn't roll her eyes. She reminds you that you're good inside, too — even if you said 'fine, have the iPad' before 7 a.m because you downed one too many frozen margs last night. In a parenting world full of extremes — tiger moms, free-range kids, competitive Pinterest lunchboxes — Dr. Becky offers something radical: calm, compassionate, middle-ground sanity. No wonder the celebs are into her. No wonder the rest of Us are, too.
