Lisa Rinna Announces 'Real Housewives' Exit After 8 Seasons

It's official: Lisa Rinna is leaving Bravo's 'Real Housews of Beverly Hills

Lisa Rinna's run as a "Real Housewife" is coming to a close.

The longtime Bravo star, who initially joined the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast back in 2014, has officially confirmed her exit from the beloved franchise.

In a statement made to People, the 59-year-old reality star said, "This is the longest job I have held in my 35-year career and I am grateful to everyone at Bravo and all those involved in the series."

"It has been a fun eight-year run and I am excited for what is to come," she added in the statement published by the outlet on Thursday, Jan. 5.

Rinna's contract reportedly expired at the end of last season, prompting her and the network to mutually decide that she will not return to RHOBH.

The Days of Our Lives alum has been part of the show since Season 5 and has become one of the most iconic cast members to grace the show, among some of her other notable co-stars, who include Kyle Richards, Erika Jayne, Kathy Hilton, and more.

Rinna made waves during her debut season on the Bravo series, mostly over her infamous argument with then-costar Kim Richards, who caused her to smash a wine glass in Richards' direction after making an insinuation about Rinna's husband, Harry Hamlin.

Rinna has since had beef with other RHOBH cast members, including Yolanda Hadid, Denise Richards and Sutton Stracke, to name a few, but she hasn't been shy to show accountability for her actions, as she has even become known for her famous catchphrase, "Own it, baby."

In the show's most recent season, Rinna lost her mother, Lois Rinna, shortly after production began, making Season 12 a particularly difficult one for her.

She criticized the show for not memorializing her mom properly, writing on her Instagram Story at the time, "Lois deserved and deserves much more. Shame on everyone," per People.

But her exit likely isn't a major surprise to many RHOBH fans, as Rinna has been dropping hints about a possible departure for some time now. While it's not clear what Rinna has planned for the future (aside from her recent release of sparkling wines), we know she will own whatever she chooses to do next!

Prince Harry Tells ‘60 Minutes’ He Was “Probably Bigoted” Before Relationship With Meghan Markle And “Didn’t See What I Now See”

CBS News’ 60 Minutes, which landed the first interview with Prince Harry tied to the publication of his memoir, released a clip of his interview with Anderson Cooper, including an admission that he was “probably bigoted” before his relationship with Meghan Markle, now his wife.

In the clip of the interview, airing in full on Sunday, Harry says that he was “incredibly naive” of how his relationship with Markle would be treated by British tabloids.

What Meghan had to go through was similar in some part to what Kate and what Camilla went through, very different circumstances,” Harry said. “But then you add in the race element, which was what the press, British press jumped on straight away. I went into this incredibly naïve. I had no idea the British press were so bigoted. Hell, I was probably bigoted before the relationship with Meghan.”

Cooper followed up, asking Harry, “You think you were bigoted before the relationship with Meghan?”

“I don’t know,” Harry said. “Put it this way, I didn’t see what I now see.”

Harry also has interviews lined up with Michael Strahan for Good Morning America, set to air on Monday, followed by a half-hour special that evening for ABC News Live and Hulu.

Harry’s memoir Spare is due to be released on Tuesday.

In the clip, Harry suggested that he tried to keep the family rift from public view, but “every single time I’ve tried to do it privately there have been briefings and leakings and planting of stories against me and my wife. You know, the family motto is never complain, never explain, but it’s just a motto.”

He added, “They will feed or have a conversation with the correspondent. And that correspondent will literally be spoon-fed information and write the story. And at the bottom of it they will say that they’ve reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment. But the whole story is Buckingham Palace commenting. So, when we’re being told for the last six years, ‘We can’t put a statement out to protect you’… But you do it for other members of the family. It becomes – there becomes a point when silence is betrayal.”

Nicolas Cage Bares His Fangs as Dracula in 'Renfield' Trailer with Nicholas Houl

Nicholas Hoult is desperate to get away from Nicolas Cage's Dracula in the first trailer for their upcoming movie Renfield.

On Thursday, Universal Pictures released the trailer for the upcoming "modern monster tale of Dracula's loyal servant," which stars Cage, 58, as Dracula opposite 33-year-old Hoult's title character, according to an official synopsis for the movie.

Renfield's trailer showcases Renfield himself as he attends a group meeting in search of help ending a "toxic relationship" with his boss and struggles to escape from doing Dracula's bidding. Renfield's association with the vampire has its advantages, though — Renfield has supernatural powers that allow him to fight off criminals and save Awkwafina's character's life in the process.

The trailer saves its best reveal for last, teasing Cage's Dracula as he enters Renfield's meeting in a school gymnasium and floats menacingly overhead.

The film is set to follow Renfield as he sets out "to see if there's a life outside the shadow of The Prince of Darkness" and "end his codependency" with Dracula, according to a synopsis.

In December 2021, Cage told Variety's Awards Circuit podcast that he wants to bring "something new" to the character, who has previously been portrayed onscreen by Bela Lugosi in the black-and-white Universal classic, Gary Oldman in Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 version, Frank Langella, Christopher Lee, Gerard Butler and Luke Evans, among others.

I want it to pop in a unique way from how we've seen it played. So I'm thinking to really focus on the movement of the character. You know, I saw Malignant and I thought what she did with those moves — and even Ringu with Sadako [Yamamura]," he said at the time. "I want to look at what we can explore with this movement and voice."

What makes it super fun is that it's a comedy. And when you get that tone right — comedy and horror — like American Werewolf in London, it's a blast," Cage added to Variety during his podcast appearance. "It's got to be a bullseye. But that's what I'm looking for, something new to bring to the character and also that perfect tone of comedy and horror."

The new movie, directed by The Tomorrow War's Chris McKay, also stars Ben Schwartz and Adrian Martinez alongside Cage, Hoult and Awkwafin.

Natasha Lyonne’s Knives Are Out in Poker Face

Rian Johnson is taking his mystery tales to the small screen. Russian Doll’s Natasha Lyonne plays Charlie Cale, a traveling sleuth with a preternatural ability to tell when someone’s lying in the upcoming Peacock mystery-of-the-week series, Poker Face. Armed with nothing but her flask and quick wit in the stylish trailer, Lyonne wanders the U.S. in her Plymouth Barracuda, sticking her nose into the strange local crimes. Not everything is a Sunday drive, though — someone is after Charlie Cale, and they won’t rest until she’s brought in. The plot thickens.
“Never underestimate the power of a good dinner conversation between friends,” wrote Johnson and Lyonne in a press release. “What started as a discussion over steak frites about detective shows and what made them such a reliable pleasure — the exploration of little worlds within each new setting, the guest stars playing killers and victims, and most importantly, a scrappy protagonist you were always ready to kick back with and see win — ultimately resulted in the creation of Charlie.”
With a stacked list of guest stars — Adrien Brody, Benjamin Bratt, Chloë Sevigny, Clea DuVall, Dascha Polanco, Ellen Barkin, Hong Chau, Jameela Jamil, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Judith Light, Lil Rel Howery, Rhea Perlman, Ron Perlman, S. Epatha Merkerson, and Tim Meadows — you’d be lying if you said you weren’t interested. The first four episodes premiere on January 26 on Peacock.

Brendan Fraser on Movie-Star Comeback: 'I'm Waiting for Someone' to 'Tell Me That the Jig Is Up'

"I know I'm doing what I love. I'm really happy to be able to do that," the actor said

Brendan Fraser is reflecting on the emotional standing ovation he got when The Whale debuted in September at the Venice Film Festival.

During an appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers Wednesday, the actor, 54, opened up about the movie and the audience reactions to it.

"I just broke out crying. That solved all the problems," Fraser said of the reportedly six-minute standing ovation. "I think it depends on who's holding the stopwatch to tell you the truth," Fraser joked in reference to the varying reports of how many minutes of applause. He received a similar response in October at the London Film Festival.

I feel like I'm still waiting for someone to walk in and tell me that the jig is up, you know," he added.

Delving more into the film, Fraser said he "felt that there was a real story to be told about someone who's locked behind closed doors," explaining what drew him to playing the character.

Photos show Princess Diana and Charles' relationship wasn't as bitter as it seemed in 'The Crown'

http://

Charles and Diana's 15-year-long marriage was portrayed in the Netflix series "The Crown."
Diana's former chef Darren McGrady previously told Insider the show misrepresented the couple.
Photos show the couple's happier moments that weren't portrayed in the show.

The breakdown of Charles and Diana's relationship was shown in "The Crown," but the series appears to skim past the happy aspects of their relationship.

he fifth season of "The Crown," which aired on Netflix in November, portrays the breakdown of the relationship between Charles (Dominic West) and Diana (Elizabeth Debicki) during the 1990s.

In real life, the couple separated in 1992 and divorced in 1996 after both of them admitted to being unfaithful during their relationship, the BBC reports. That being said, the couple shared happy moments before and after their separation that weren't shown in the series.

Diana's former chef Darren McGrady said "The Crown" misrepresented the couple's relationship.

They tied the knot in July 1981, and became the first royal couple to share their first kiss with the public on the Buckingham Palace balcony.

There were many light-hearted moments in their relationship that weren't always witnessed by the public. For instance, they appeared to share a laugh as they departed for their honeymoon in August 1981.

The couple showed some PDA during their honeymoon at Balmoral, Scotland.

After their wedding, Princess Diana became a working royal and accompanied Charles at events across the world. Here, they danced at a formal event in Melbourne, Australia, in 1985.

Although the couple separated in 1992, they appeared to be on good terms when attending public engagements together. Here they were at a public engagement in 1993.One year before their divorce was finalized in 1996, Charles and Diana attended a public engagement with their sons, Prince William and Prince Harry, in May 1995.

Khloe Kardashian’s Ex-Husband Lamar Odom Makes Bombshell Claims About Kris Jenner in New Documentary

The former NBA star is opening up about his relationship with the momager.

Lamar Odom is opening up about his past with his ex-wife, Khloe Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner.

During his new Fox TV special Sex, Drugs and the Kardashians, the former NBA star, 43, revealed a major bombshell regarding his relationship with his ex-wife's mom, who used to manage him during his days as a basketball player.

“I used to call her 'Ma.' She showed a lot of love. She was cool. I loved her. We all got into business. It was a family business. I’m comfortable enough [for her to manage my money]. I’m happy enough to do it…I made some money. I came out on the positive," he said, praising her for her management skills.

He continued: “I don’t think people really give them credit for their family dynamic. Family is going to go through shit and I think that they’ve handled their shit phenomenally good.”

Although he had nothing but nice things to say about Jenner and the family's work ethic and dynamic, he did claim that Jenner set him up to be caught by paparazzi just after the former couple signed their divorce papers in Aug. 2015, which led to some hurt feelings.

TMZ reported the incident back when it happened, claiming that Odom touched Kardashian's arm to which she screamed at him, "Get off of me, get off of me. Stop. Stop." An eyewitness asked the reality star if she wanted the cops to be called, but Odom screamed, "You're not going to call the cops on Lamar Odom." Kardashian later asked Odom how he knew she was there, but he didn't give a clear answer.

“As far as I can remember — I’m a little foggy — but as far as I can remember, she kind of hooked it up for me to meet Khloe down at SoulCycle. I get down there and she kind of treated me like she didn’t know me, which was hurtful a little bit," Odom said during his special.

"She was kind of, like, making a scene and then, like, paparazzi came out of nowhere. So I’m hurt by that. Then it kind of came out that I tried to put my hands on her or something like that. And then I’m really hurt and defensive. That’s where that incident happened.”

Kardashian and Odom met in 2009 and dated for just a few weeks before tying the knot later that year. They were married for four years before ultimately splitting up in 2013.
