Don't miss out on the headlines from Hook Ups & Break Ups. Followed categories will be added to My News. Reality star Scheana Shay name-dropped her 'best' celebrity lover in her slew of Hollywood hook-ups. The Vanderpump Rules star didn't hold back on the latest episode of the podcast Not Skinny But Not Fatwhile discussing her July memoir, My Good Side. When the 40-year-old reality star addressed the book's bombshell list of romantic liaisons on the podcast, host Amanda Hirsch asked, 'Who was, like, the best hook-up?' Shay replied, 'Shemar [Moore].' The other men the Bravolebrity confessed to sleeping with, notably, included John Mayer, Jesse Metcalfe, Jesse McCartney, Eddie Cibrian, JC Chasez and more.

US reality star Scheana Shay lifts the lid on her Hollywood hook-ups in her new memoir. Shay did not identify the other A-listers she 'left out' of the list, including 'two actors from The Notebook.' Hirsch pointed out that Ryan Gosling stars in that 2004 movie, with Shay cryptically saying she was 'not confirming or denying.' Gosling has been in a relationship with his Place Beyond the Pines co-star Eva Mendes since 2011, previously dating Sandra Bullock, Blake Lively and Rachel McAdams. The film's other cast members include James Marsden and Kevin Connolly. Shay joked, 'Maybe there's another book one day.' Reps for Moore, Gosling, Marsden and Connolly did not immediately respond to Page Six's requests for comment. Shay explained to readers that when hooking up with a slew of Hollywood hunks wasn't 'working out,' she started dating guys 'under the radar.' Actor Shemar Moore got a shout-out as her 'best' Hollywood hook-up … Picture: ABC Studios/Cliff Lipson … while she also teased she'd been with two actors from The Notebook, famously starring Ryan Gosling. Picture: AFP She noted, 'It [was] time to switch things up. … I didn't want any of the fanfare or complications that came with being linked to someone famous. I wanted to be with someone who was grounded.' Shay has since been married twice — first to music producer Michael Shay from 2014 to 2017 and, most recently, to personal trainer Brock Davies. The latter cheated on Shay before they tied the knot, but Davies did not cop to the affair — which happened during his partner's pregnancy — until after their 2022 Mexico wedding. Shay kept the betrayal a secret until describing the experience in her memoir. She denied 'wild' speculation on Tuesday that the infidelity was revealed 'to sell books,' something Kristen Doute hinted at in last week's episode of the same podcast by asking, 'You and your husband got over this years ago. Why now?' Shay brushed off the accusations, asking haters, 'Who in their right mind would [do] that?' As for Davies, he broke his silence on the 'sexual affair' on the Scheananigans With Scheana Shay podcast last month and called his past self a 'coward.'

Meet The Adorable North Carolina Town That Inspired 'The Notebook'
Nicholas Sparks's adopted hometown of New Bern is a slice of coastal bliss. If you've ever read a Nicholas Sparks book (or seen a movie adaptation), you've likely fallen in love with a fictional character. We can't help but swoon over the chemistry between Will and Ronnie in The Last Song, or the tragic young love between Landon and Jamie in A Walk to Remember. And of course, we're forever in awe of the unbreakable bond between Noah and Allie in The Notebook. While the characters in Sparks's novels aren't real, many of the places where their love stories unfold are. Take for example, New Bern, North Carolina. Sparks's adopted hometown also happens to be the setting for some of his most popular novels. A Bend in the Road, The Return, The Wedding, and most notably The Notebook are all set in New Bern. Everything about New Bern, from its scenic setting on the Trent and Neuse Rivers to its centuries-old churches and historic downtown, make it the perfect backdrop for a Southern romance. The town of around 31,000 people in east North Carolina was founded in 1710, making it the second oldest town in the state. It's part of a region known as North Carolina's Inner Banks, which means while it's not quite on the ocean like neighboring Outer Banks towns, it's still decidedly part of the Carolina coast. Expect days to be filled with activities like standup paddle boarding, pontoon boat cruises, and waterfront dining. If you've ever wished to be transported inside one of Nicholas Sparks's novels, New Bern quite literally gives you the opportunity to live out your dreams. Here are the 15 best things to do in New Bern, North Carolina. Walk Around Union Point Park It doesn't get more picturesque than a golden hour walk at Union Point Park that ends with a sunset show under the park's iconic green-roofed gazebo. The six-acre site in historic downtown marks the convergence of the Neuse and Trent Rivers, and is a popular gathering space that includes two boat launches, grills, a playground, picnic tables, and a fishing pier. Shop At Downtown's Local Businesses Stroll the tree-shaded streets of historic downtown New Bern to find all kinds of treasures, from quirky antique stores and art galleries to artisan shops and boutiques housed in historic homes. The Black Cat Shoppe is a colorful spot for eclectic oddities and The Next Chapter Books & Art carries on the town's rich literary history that dates to 1783 when the state's first bookstore was opened in New Bern. Take A Self-Guided African American Heritage Tour Learn about Black history in New Bern and its surrounding regions by exploring its African American Heritage Trail. The trail is made up of 16 panels at 10 sites in the Craven Terrace and Dryborough neighborhoods that tell the stories of historical events, people, and places that pertain to Black history in New Bern. The entire trail covers 1.3 miles and takes around 30 minutes to complete. Visit Tryon Palace New Bern was once home to the state's capital building, and you can see a replica of it, plus historic homes and spectacular gardens at Tryon Palace, which was built in the 1760s as a home for the Royal British Governor when North Carolina was just a colony. A one-day pass to the site includes entry into the North Carolina History Center, a tour of the governor's mansion, and access to four historic homes and the complex's 21 acres of meticulously upkept gardens. 529 South Front Street, New Bern, NC 28562; 1-800-767-1560 Have A Drink At The Birthplace Of Pepsi One of New Bern's many claims to fame is that Pepsi was invented there in 1898. 100 years later, the town decided to honor the major milestone with a Birthplace of Pepsi historical site and experience in the heart of downtown. Free to the public, head inside to learn about the history of Pepsi, buy Pepsi-themed merchandise, and get an ice-cold Pepsi from the old-school soda fountain. 256 Middle St., New Bern, NC 28560; 252-636-5898 Have Breakfast At Baker's Kitchen This downtown eatery is beloved for breakfast thanks to two things, their Dutch Potatoes and their Butter Syrup. The creamy, rich, and cheesy potato dish is perfect alongside a short stack of pancakes smothered in their addictive butter syrup. The stuff is so good they've even bottled it for diners to take home. 227 Middle Street, New Bern, NC 28560; 252-637-0304 Enjoy Dinner At Cypress Hall After training at Johnson and Wales University in Charleston, South Carolina, Chef Ashley Moser returned home to open Cypress Hall Kitchen + Bar in New Bern. His menu focuses on seasonal, local, and fresh ingredients in New American dishes like ricotta gnudi with summer squash, asparagus, brown butter, and Parmesan or pork cheeks with rice grits, collards, smoked ham, lemon, and chive. 219 Middle Street, New Bern, NC 28560; 252-633-5909 Sample Smoked Meats At Harry's BBQ The South is known for its legendary barbecue, and North Carolina's specific variety brings a little something special even to that. If you want real deal smoked meats, Harry's is the place to go. Fill your platter with meats like pulled pork, sausage, ribs, and pastrami beef rib surrounded by classic Southern sides like corn pudding, potato salad, braised greens, hush puppies, and pit beans. 243 Craven St, New Bern, NC 28560; 252-631-2672 Book A Charming Stay Most folks fall head over heels in love with New Bern from the moment they arrive, but a stay in a bed and breakfast is always enough to seal the deal. The Aerie, located in downtown New Bern, is an impressive Italianate Victorian that dates to 1882. Each of its nine guest rooms and suites are uniquely decorated, but all offer modern amenities and plenty of Southern hospitality. Other worthy options include Hanna House Bed & Breakfast and modern boutique hotel The Harvey. Go Stand Up Paddle Boarding Take advantage of New Bern's coastal locale by renting a standup paddle board from Banx Watersports, which is perched on the water's edge. The company's private launch on Lawson Creek gives access to both the Trent and Neuse Rivers, so your paddling adventure is limitless. 1305 Country Club Road, New Bern NC 28562; 252-638-3000 Get A Treat At Bear City Fudge Company New Bern was named after the Swiss capital city of Bern, which is an old Germanic word for bear. As such, New Bern's unofficial nickname is Bear Town, and you can find painted statues of the animal all over town. Celebrate the mascot and satisfy your sweet tooth at Bear City Fudge Company, where you'll find a wonderland of confections and sweet treats that include homemade fudge, pralines, truffles, and ice cream. 236C Middle St., New Bern, NC, 28560; 252-636-1360 Cruise The Neuse On A Pontoon Boat See the beauty of New Bern by boat on one of four daily excursions that depart from the New Bern Grand Marina. During the 90-minute cruise along the Neuse River, a captain relays stories and facts about New Bern. All you have to do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Daytime tours leave at 10 a.m., 12 p.m., and 2 p.m.; a sunset tour departs at 6:30 p.m. 101 Craven Street, New Bern, NC, 28560; 252-772-1876 See New Bern Through Nicholas Sparks's Eyes It's always cool to read about a place and then see it in person. If you've read A Bend In the Road, The Wedding, or The Notebook, you can have plenty of those page-to-real-life experiences in New Bern. The city's Walk to Remember tour points out 15 landmarks around town that are all mentioned in Sparks's novels. Places like Tryon Palace (mentioned in both A Bend in the Road and The Wedding), the Masonic Theater (The Notebook), and the famous Alfred Cunningham Bridge (The Notebook) are all on the list. Take A Historic Trolley Tour The best way to get an overview of the city is on a 90-minute historic trolley tour. Operating from March through December, the tours take passengers around downtown New Bern and to historic landmarks including New Bern Academy Museum, Cedar Grove Cemetery, and Christ Episcopal Church. While you ride, a historian will relay interesting details, historical narratives, and true stories about what you're seeing. 1311 N Craven St., New Bern, NC 28560; 252-637-7316 Enjoy A Waterfront Meal at Persimmons Views of the water abound in New Bern, and one of the best places to get a particularly great one is at Persimmons, which sits on the end of a short dock suspended over the Neuse River. The restaurant has been an integral part of New Bern's dining scene since opening in 2010. You can opt for a table on the back deck for panoramic views of the water, but even from inside, you'll experience similar stunning sights thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows. For dinner, seafood is certainly on the menu with options ranging from linguini and clams to shrimp and grits to jumbo lump crab cakes. Pair your meal with a craft cocktail like the effervescent Grapes of Wrath (Moscato, Campari, blood orange, soda), and you've got a night to remember. 100 Pollock St., New Bern, NC 28560; 252-514-0033 Read the original article on Southern Living Solve the daily Crossword

Hollywood pair had 'great chemistry' in 'emotional' film which led to decade-long relationship
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth met as teenagers while starring in the heartbreaking film The Last Song, which saw the young couple fall in love on screen and in real life Nicholas Sparks ' heart-tugging novels have been the blueprint for some of the most beloved romantic comedies of the 2000s, not least the cinematic rendition of The Notebook, sparking off-screen romances along the way. This was certainly true for a certain high-profile pair who crossed paths as youngsters portraying a blossoming romance on screen, simultaneously kindling their own. Chart-topping sensation Miley Cyrus and silver screen heartthrob Liam Hemsworth first locked eyes on the set of the poignant drama The Last Song. Debuting in 2010, the film charts the turbulent journey of a defiant young woman named Ronnie, who relocates to live with her estranged father, portrayed by Greg Kinnear, following her parents' split. The move takes her and her brother from the hustle of city life to the serene coastal town where her dad resides. Throughout the story, Ronnie mends fences with her family and rediscovers herself, all while falling head over heels for a local lad. Her innate piano skills come to the fore, encouraged by her father's past as a Juilliard-trained musician, as she strives to mend their fractured bond, despite time running short. A Rotten Tomatoes critique applauded the movie, saying: "An emotional and romantic coming-of-age story, Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth make a couple with great chemistry, and the credits song When I Look At You is one to cry to. A great adaptation." The on-screen romance that captivated audiences wasn't quite the fairytale behind the scenes, reports the Express, with the couple experiencing several break-ups over their decade-long relationship. In 2012, fans were thrilled to hear about the engagement of the young stars, but by 2013, wedding bells had been silenced, and it looked like it was all over. The film's allure was undoubtedly boosted by the palpable chemistry between the leads, surprising many viewers with Cyrus's commendable acting chops. One review admitted: "I'm not a big fan of Miley Cyrus, but I have to say she did an outstanding job in this." Tear-jerking warnings accompany mentions of the film, as one viewer shared: "The Last Song tugged at my heartstrings and drained my eyes of tears. I just don't get why a lot of people don't like this movie when it's got such a beautiful and heart-wrenching story." Emotions ran high for another fan who confessed: "I cried when I read the book two years ago, and so did I when I watched the movie two minutes ago. Hands down, this movie is amazing." Against all odds, Cyrus and Hemsworth secretly wed in 2018 after rekindling their romance, yet the reunion was short-lived; they divorced in 2019. Both have since found new love away from the spotlight. Nostalgic fans often look back fondly at the early days of what became a real-life romance, while some viewers remained oblivious to the off-screen drama unfolding before them. A cinema enthusiast commented: "I'm not a fan of Miley Cyrus, but in the film I was enchanted by her character. The Last Song is a very romantic and emotive film, which I like to watch. The plot of the film has a great reflection of real life."

‘It's a love story.' Woman on way to Taylor Swift exhibit at Science Museum records riverside proposal
People have quickly compared the proposal to Jim and Pam's rain-soaked moment at a gas station from the American version of 'The Office' or the famous kiss scene between Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams in 'The Notebook.' 'I hope somebody finds them and tags them, this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen in my news feed,' one person commented. Advertisement Cardarelli arrived at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Amesbury Street just as the man began his proposal. The red light didn't turn green until she had said yes, she said. Cardarelli considered it fate. A clinical operations manager and an interior designer, Cardarelli had 'always' wanted to see a proposal, and this one was straight from a 'movie,' she said. 'I've never seen a proposal before, but always I've wanted to see one, which is why I got so excited,' Cardarelli said. 'That was like a storybook or like a fairy tale-type engagement.' Advertisement The video is muted on Instagram, but Cardarelli says 'Awwwwww' in the background while blink-182's 'All the Small Things' blared from her car's speakers. Teddy, her son, was desperate to understand what was going on, Cardarelli said. 'Can I see, can I see?' he asked his mother. Teddy had many questions afterward, Cardarelli said, like what was the man doing on one knee and why were they by the Charles River on a rainy day. Cardarelli's favorite part of the proposal was when the woman leaned back in for a 'second kiss.' 'It was an adorable proposal,' she said. Cardarelli and husband, Anthony, got engaged at her home in 2017, followed by an 'impromptu celebration' with friends and family.' 'I wouldn't say it was as magical,' Cardarelli said. 'It was magical,' Anthony objected in the background, as Cardarelli laughed. The couple in the video have yet to identify themselves on Instagram, but Cardarelli said she hopes they will see the video. 'You guys are adorable,' Cardarelli said she would tell them. 'I wish you the best of everything to come in life, and they look like they're a really cute couple.' As she continued driving down Memorial Drive, she saw a professional photographer capturing the moment. 'If I had the still photos, I would still want the video,' Cardarelli said. As Swift sang, 'It's a love story, baby, just say, 'Yes.'' Ava Berger can be reached at
