Scheana Shay recalls 'awkward' run-in with John Mayer
Scheana Shay had an "awkward" run-in with John Mayer years after they dated. The 40-year-old star dated John, 47, back in 2008, and they came face-to-face with each other at ChainFEST, a gourmet food chain festival in Los Angeles, two years ago. The reality star told People: "I saw him, and I awkwardly give him a hug, like, 'Hey, and then made a joke like, 'Oh, we should get a photo.' And he was like, 'No.' And I was like, 'I was kind of kidding.' But yeah, that was awkward." The celebrity duo actually came face-to-face for a second time at the same event in 2024, and Scheana decided to change her approach. She said: "I didn't even go in for the hug. He went out for a handshake. I'm like, 'Well, this is awkward, too." Meanwhile, Scheana recently confessed that she didn't know if she was "strong enough" to overcome her husband's infidelity. The reality star revealed that Brock Davies cheated on her while she was pregnant with their now four-year-old daughter, Summer Moon - but Scheana explained why she chose to remain tight-lipped about his infidelity. She said on the Scheananigans podcast: "At that time, I wasn't ready to talk about this. I certainly don't think you were ready to talk about this. I don't know that our marriage would have survived if we did talk about it that season. I felt like we were still very much in the middle of processing it privately." Scheana wanted to process the situation before she spoke about it publicly. She explained: "I wasn't about to start unraveling all of this on camera before I had even processed what it meant for our marriage, for our daughter, for our entire life." Scheana and Brock ultimately managed to overcome his infidelity, and she now has no regrets about keeping the situation to herself. She said: "I didn't know if I was going to be strong enough to stay. "It can be easier to just walk away after a betrayal, and hands are clean and be done. So sure, I could have disclosed it then, but I would have been speaking from a place of extreme confusion, pain, fear, [and] not clarity of any sort. "I just wasn't ready. And I think I've learned the hard way, once you say something on camera, it's out there forever."

Roman Kemp reveals A-list star he's banned from speaking to after awkward interview went VERY wrong
ROMAN Kemp has revealed he's banned from speaking to one huge A-lister after an awkward interview with them went VERY wrong. Presenter Roman, 32, claimed he was escorted out by security during a 2015 press junket with Jennifer Lawrence, 34, after one stunt failed to land. 4 He had been interviewing the Oscar -winner as part of the promo tour for her film Joy, but says he hadn't seen the list of pre-approved questions from his Capital FM producers before the cameras started rolling. Their chat quickly became uncomfortable when the actress gave short, clipped answers and remarked that the experience "sucked", barely engaging with the conversation. But it was a prank gone wrong that appears to have sealed Roman's fate. As part of the bit, he pretended to be a superfan and unveiled a fake tattoo of Jennifer Lawrence's face on his chest - which reportedly led the actress to call in security and have him removed from the room. Reflecting on the incident in an Instagram post shared Tuesday, Roman wrote: 'Found this old picture of when I interviewed Jennifer Lawrence and for fun pretended to be a mega fan complete with a tattoo… She did NOT find it funny. I was escorted out by security and told I would never interview her again.' Roman - whose parents are Spandau Ballet's Martin Kemp and singer Shirlie Holliman - also joked in a follow-up post: 'Tbf still haven't had the chance to redeem myself or explain the situation to her…' During the exchange, Jennifer was visibly unimpressed by Roman's line of questioning, which included asking her what her favourite type of cheese was. At one point, he read her a poem supposedly written in her honour, prompting her dry reply: 'Wow, that was incredibly touching.' Things escalated when Roman claimed to have a tattoo dedicated to her and began unbuttoning his shirt to reveal the fake inking. Jennifer responded, deadpan: 'Oh my god. Oh man, wow right over your heart. I would expect nothing less. I'm flattered and honoured, it looks so permanent. How did they get it so glossy?' Shock moment Roman Kemp reveals bitter feud with James Bond star who 'nearly made him cry' after EXTREMELY rude meeting Roman then mentioned that his father is Martin Kemp and suggested he'd like to take her on a date to one of his dad's concerts. She replied, stone-faced: 'To meet your dad? Coolest date ever…' Despite the icy reception, Roman has clearly taken it all in good humour. Speaking about the experience on The Chris Ramsey Show in 2018, he called it his 'trickiest interview' to date. He revealed: 'She's not having the best day clearly. She hasn't said hello to me, she hasn't acknowledged me, she's just sat there on the phone like this… 'I've already sat down and said 'hi how are you?' and all this type of stuff, [she] just said nothing. 'I ask the first question and she goes, 'sorry have you started?' I was like, 'yeah I'm already in the questioning here…'' Recalling the moment he showed her the fake tattoo, he added: 'She said nothing after that and then the security guard got up and asked me to leave. 'I am now banned from interviewing Jennifer Lawrence.' 4 4 4

STEPHEN DAISLEY President made Starmer look small and shifty... he's like a new leader of the opposition
Keir Starmer and Donald Trump are like one of those couples on a TV matchmaker competition who are so wildly incompatible you just know they'll end up going on the most awkward date ever. And it was awkward, all right. Nobbled by the hacks on the way into their press conference at Trump's golf course at Turnberry in Ayrshire, the prime minister might have been hoping his unlikely companion would wave off the questions and head inside. A quick off the record natter and down to business. Like that was going to happen. This is Donald Trump. He is drawn to TV cameras like overmanned dinghies are drawn to Dover. Naturally, the question was the last one Starmer wanted: immigration. He yapped pathetically about the deportations carried out since he came to power, while Trump steamrollered ahead with a lengthy jeremiad about how migrants had changed Europe. 'Europe is a much different place than it was five years, ten years ago,' he rambled. 'They've got to get their act together. If they don't, you're not going to have Europe anymore as you know it. You can't do that.' Truly, this was a historic summit. The first presidential visit to be recorded as a non-crime hate incident. Once inside, the prime minister and the president sat in tandem to field questions from the media. The pairing was bizarre, the tension palpable, every second breathtaking. It's a wonder it wasn't blocked under the Online Safety Act. Like all doomed couples, they couldn't see eye to eye on their friends. 'I'm not a fan of your mayor,' Trump opined to a reporter. 'I think he's done a terrible job. The mayor of London. He's a nasty person.' Starmer's face fell like his poll numbers. With a nervous chuckle in his voice, he chirped: 'He's a friend of mine.' Trump stared ahead, deadpan: 'No, he's done a terrible job — but I would still visit London.' Starmer cringed. The only thing missing was the theme tune from Curb Your Enthusiasm. Mark Twain called golf 'a good walk spoiled', but he was talking out of his hole-in-one. This was pure entertainment. I still reckon a birdie is something in the sky and bogey the bloke in Casablanca, but if every golf club puts on a show like this, sign me up. Every time Trump went on a verbal wander around his own thoughts, Starmer sat gape-mouthed, which was helpful since it gave the president somewhere to stick his foot every minute or so. The prime minister looked almost relieved to take a question on farming and inheritance tax, no doubt assuming even Trump couldn't find a way to mess this up for him. Then the president began recounting how he had removed the estate tax from family farms, mindful that farmers like to keep their land in the family and noting the increased risks of suicide where they were not allowed to do so. Starmer, whose government plans to whomp British farms with new death taxes, sat there in stoney silence. Excruciating doesn't begin to cover it. I get secondary embarrassment very easily. The sight of someone else humiliated has my cheeks smouldering like volcanoes. It's just too agonising to watch. I bit through so many fingernails yesterday afternoon I skipped dinner entirely. The lowest moment for Starmer came when a journalist asked: 'The president makes it look easy dealing with illegal migrants. You must be envious of his record in such a short period of time.' Starmer squirmed like an eel in a well-tailored suit, acknowledging the issue and the importance of tackling it. Trump beamed in satisfaction. Finally, someone from the media who wasn't Fake News. The discussion turned to internet censorship, as Trump learned that new powers would allow the nation to shut down his Truth Social network. 'I don't think he's going to censor my site because I only say nice things,' he insisted, turning to Starmer and pleading: 'Will you please uncensor my site?' The prime minister explained, in a excitable word jumble, that there were no plans to suppress Truth Social and maintained the new laws were aimed at protecting children. Asked if he could give Starmer any tips for beating Nigel Farage, Trump recommended tax cuts, cracking down on crime and curbing illegal immigration. Starmer was as impassive as a statue. All three were popular policies in Britain, but now if he did anyone of them he would be seen as taking Trump's advice. The president then congratulated Starmer for 'becoming strong on immigration'. As if he didn't have enough problems with the parliamentary Labour party, now he'd have to explain why Bad Orange Man was bigging up his border policies. Every time Trump threw Starmer a rope it had a noose on the end. Then we came to the wind mills. The president is famously not a fan. Probably intimidated by the only creations that generate more hot air than him. 'When we go to Aberdeen,' he mused, drifting off on a tangent, 'they have some of the ugliest windmills you've ever seen.' These 'ugly monsters', he told the viewers at home, had a lifespan of eight years, would have to be dumped in the ocean, and required 'massive subsidies' to sustain them. He had stopped as many in the US as he could. Alas, some 'poor stupid people' had approved a number of them before he came along. Starmer, who approves of windmills, didn't seem to like that. There was the mildest of twitches in his otherwise disciplined facial expression. His countenance was that of a condemned prisoner having his death warrant read out and wishing they would just skip to the shooting. Trump proposed an alternative energy source, one that involved creating only a hole in the ground 'this big' — he cupped his hands by way of illustration. He was talking about drilling the North Sea bed for oil. At this juncture, Starmer looked like he would happily climb into a hole in the sea, anything to escape this televised torture. Trump is awful, of course, but he's a wonderful kind of awful. He's that friend everyone has who is a bit of a rogue but so damn charming you can't resist them. Watching one of his press conferences is like being present at a bomb disposal operation. You find yourself fixated on his every word, tic, breath and flutter of the eyes, knowing that, any second now, he could cut the wrong wire and blow everyone to kingdom come. Mercifully, the press conference concluded without any detonations, but the prime minister still looked shellshocked. Without really trying Trump had made him look small and shifty, doing a number on his credibility that Kemi Badenoch would struggle to manage. The man's only been in the country a few days and already he's the new leader of the opposition. The Labour leader wasn't the only politician left reeling by Trump's restless tongue. The president proposed that there not be another referendum on Scottish independence for 50 or 75 years. Given how slow progress is under John Swinney, the SNP rank and file should take Trump up on his offer. The political class resents Trump and, yes, he is vulgar, crass, short-tempered and toweringly arrogant, but he speaks in a plain, direct language never heard in British politics. There's no artifice there. He's too much of an egomaniac for that. But for all his flaws, two men sat before the world's press yesterday and while one could brag about his successes in office the other could only squirm.

That's Awkward: Joe Buck's Interaction With Michael Strahan Sparks Rumors
That's Awkward: Joe Buck's Interaction With Michael Strahan Sparks Rumors originally appeared on The Spun. In case you haven't been paying close attention, ESPN announcer Joe Buck has spent the past few days hosting "Good Morning America" on ABC. Buck, the voice of "Monday Night Football," is filling in for ABC broadcaster George Stephanopoulos. According to reports, the latter is on vacation. The rest of the "Good Morning America" crew, however, was at the studio for Friday's show. Before signing off from "Good Morning America" this Friday morning, Michael Strahan gave Buck a hug on national TV. Unfortunately for the Hall of Famer, it was a pretty awkward exchange. For some reason, Buck didn't exactly match Strahan's energy. He simply said, "Thank you." After watching Buck reluctantly embrace Strahan on "Good Morning America," sports fans are convinced they don't see eye-to-eye. At the very least, fans believe Buck is not that fond of the former NFL star. "ABC told Joe Buck, we don't think you do enough to earn your salary, so we're going to torture you by having to be on the same set a few days with someone as arrogant as you, Michael Strahan," one fan wrote on X. "Joe Buck and Michael Strahan look totally comfortable with this embrace," Awful Announcing wrote. We'll see if Buck comments on this less than ideal exchange with Strahan. In the meantime, Buck is gearing up for his fourth season as the play-by-play commentator for "Monday Night Football." "During the season, Aikman and Buck work alongside Lisa Salters, Monday Night Football's longest-tenured sideline reporter. In May 2023, at the 44th Annual Sports Emmy Awards, Monday Night Football won a Sports Emmy for 'Outstanding Live Sports Series' for the MNF's 2023 season – the trio's first year together," ESPN's bio for Buck states. Buck will call a Week 1 matchup between the Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 8. That's Awkward: Joe Buck's Interaction With Michael Strahan Sparks Rumors first appeared on The Spun on Jul 25, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 25, 2025, where it first appeared.
