How Logan Lerman used papayas and 'Sex and the City' to woo his fiancée
Logan Lerman isn't one to play games: If he's into you, he'll make it clear.
In an interview with Bustle published on Friday, the 33-year-old actor revealed the 'totally weird' lengths he went to 'lure' his fiancée, ceramist Ana Corrigan, into spending more time with him early into their relationship.
'When my fiancée and I were early on dating, I used to lure her to hang out with me by getting these really special papayas. I'd order them and take photos and send them to her and be like, 'Look at these papayas! You want to hang out tonight? I mean, I have really good fruit,'' he told Bustle.
But Lerman didn't stop at 'special papayas' to maintain Corrigan's interest.
'I'd be like, 'God, how can I message her?' This is psycho, but I'd record the opening to Sex and the City as if I was watching it, even though I wasn't,' he said. 'I'd be like, 'Hey, I'm watching Sex and the City…' and try to hang out that way. There's some really crazy shit that I've done, but we all do crazy shit when we're in love.'
Lerman's Bustle interview isn't the first time he's publicly spoken about his and Corrigan's relationship. The Perks of Being a Wallflower actor, who cites not liking movies, music and concerts as red flags, revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show in 2024 that he and Corrigan met on a dating app. It wasn't long before Lerman knew he wanted something serious with her.
'Honestly, right away. I knew right away. I swear, I really did,' Lerman told Barrymore.
Lerman's luring tactics seem to have left a lasting impression on the 30-year-old artist: He and Corrigan became engaged in late 2023.
'We ended up in Central Park. My fiancée pointed out the rowboats, and I was like, 'Oh, let's do it.' And that's when I learned I don't know how to row a boat at all. I was terrible at it,' Lerman said of the proposal during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in 2024. Corrigan ended up rowing the boat, while Lerman regretfully sat back.
'Finally, she rowed us to a quiet part of the lake there, and I popped the question. It was great. It went really well,' Lerman added. 'She said yes. Thankfully.'
Lerman's starring role in the upcoming dark comedy Oh, Hi! marks a departure from his real-life, hopeless romantic self. In theaters July 25, the film stars Molly Gordon as Iris and Lerman as Isaac, who embark on their first romantic getaway together. But their blissful weekend turns sour when Isaac reveals that he isn't actually looking for something serious. Iris then handcuffs Isaac to the bed before desperately trying to show him all the ways they're actually compatible as a couple.
'I had a lot of empathy for those people that I dated in the past and have hope for them to get to a place where they can be happy in a relationship,' Lerman told Bustle. 'I had the same thing with Isaac. I was like, 'I really hope that he can get to a place where he can be happy with someone.''

After Stephen Colbert's firing, here's who shines on late-night TV
Times are hard in the world of late-night TV, as evidenced by the shocking July 17 announcement that CBS's "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" will end its 10-year run in May. Declining profits and viewership, combined with rising costs (and often frequent jabs at a sensitive president), have made the late-night talk show host one of the country's more precarious jobs. Yet each week, Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, Jon Stewart and others hit the stage to comment on world events, speak to star guests, and make America laugh. Here's who's still kicking it, late-night style. 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' The Show: "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" is filmed before a live audience in New York City's historic Ed Sullivan Theater, airing on CBS four nights a week. The Run: Colbert, 61, took over "The Late Show" in September 2015 from previous host David Letterman. Earlier, he was a correspondent on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show" and took his conservative-blowhard persona to a spinoff series, "The Colbert Report," which aired from 2005-14. Fun Fact: CBS might have canceled Colbert and "The Late Show" franchise, but the host still has 10 months to rock some late-night comedy. And from the looks of it, already, it's going to be wild. 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' The Show: NBC's "Late Night" is shot at Studio 8G at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, near Meyers' previous Studio 8H home as "Weekend Update" host on "Saturday Night Live." The Run: Meyers, 51, has been the host of "Late Night" for more than 11 years, taking over the job in February 2014 from Jimmy Fallon, who was promoted to "The Tonight Show." Fun Fact: The "Late Night" in-house band, The 8G Band, was cut due to budget reasons at the end of Season 11 in May 2024. 'The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon' The Show: "SNL" alum Fallon hosts "The Tonight Show" in Rockefeller Center's Studio 6B. The Run: Fallon, 50, has been at "The Tonight Show" since February 2014. Fallon is the sixth host of the storied franchise, and took over the role after Jay Leno's second tenure. Fun Fact: In 2024, Fallon was the last late-night host to shorten his week to four days, in another cost-cutting move. 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' The Show: ABC's "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" is the last late-night show to be shot in Los Angeles, taped on Hollywood Boulevard in the building formerly known as the Hollywood Masonic Temple. The Run: Four-time Oscars host Kimmel, 57, has hosted "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" since January 2003. ( Kimmel takes summers off, and guest hosts are filling in through Labor Day.) Fun Fact: Despite its title, "JKL" has not aired live since its first season. 'Last Week Tonight With John Oliver' The Show: "Last Week Tonight" is filmed at the CBS Broadcast Center in New York City and airs on HBO Sundays (11 ET/PT). The Run: Former "senior British correspondent" on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show," Oliver, 48, has hosted the satirical "Last Week Tonight" since April 2014. Fun Fact: Oliver's weekly HBO series won the best talk show Emmy for seven consecutive years starting in 2017, prompting an awards split into two categories – talk show and scripted variety series – to give more traditional talk shows a shot at winning. 'The Daily Show' The Show: Jon Stewart serves as Monday's "The Daily Show" host on Comedy Central with a rotating cast of other hosts including Ronny Chieng, Jordan Klepper, Michael Kosta, Desi Lydic and new host Josh Johnson. The Run: Stewart, 62, replaced Craig Kilborn, serving as the "The Daily Show" host from January 1999 to August 2015, and returned as the Monday "The Daily Show" host in February 2024. Fun Fact: Stewart's return marked the first time a former long-term late-night host returned – not just for a cameo, but as an "appointment viewing" weekly fixture. 'Gutfeld!' The Show: Greg Gutfeld's "Gutfeld!" is shot five nights a week at New York City's Fox News headquarters. The Run: Originally titled "The Greg Gutfeld Show," airing on Saturday nights, Fox News Channel moved the satirical look at current events to weeknights starting in April 2021 and renamed it "Gutfeld!" Fun Fact: Late night's highest-rated show, averaging 3.1 million viewers, has one major fan – President Trump, who appeared on "Gutfeld!" in September 2024, earning the show's record audience of 4.9 million viewers.

So she ended up rowing the boat, I'm just sitting back. Finally she rowed us to a quiet part of the lake there and I popped the question. It was great, it went really well."

Pete Davidson Admits He Was Concerned About Not Being a 'Very Good' Comedian After Getting Sober
Pete Davidson worried his comedic chops weren't up to snuff after getting sober. When asked if there difference in performing standing since getting sober on the July 22 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the Saturday Night Live alum, 31, was quick to respond, 'Oh, yeah.' 'That's what I was nervous about because I was like maybe I'm not very good, or maybe I was so high, I thought I was good,' he admitted. Host Jimmy Fallon teased, 'You were like, 'I want to see if I really did this?' I have pictures, but I don't know.' The comedian — who stars in the new movie, — revealed his concerns were unfounded. 'I'm weirdly sharper and more aware, so it's more fun,' he shared. 'Enjoying it more,' Fallon added, to which Davidson said, 'Yeah, when people laugh, you feel it as opposed to just sitting… so high, sitting there.' In January, a source told PEOPLE that Davidson had 'been sober since September [2024], and gained twenty pounds.' 'Things are going really well for him,' the insider said, adding, 'Things are heading in the right direction.' Davidson previously checked into a wellness facility in July 2024 after also seeking treatment to address issues related to PTSD and borderline personality disorder in 2023. The source added Davidson has spent $200,000 to undergo the process of having his multiple tattoos removed from his body as part of his transformation. 'He just woke up one day and wanted them gone, and it's been a years-long process,' the source said of the procedure. During an appearance on Today the same month, Davidson — who started the long-term journey of removing his tattoos in 2020 — explained that his decision to get sober fueled his desire to change his appearance. "I got sober and I saw myself in the mirror and I was like, 'Nah. Who that?' I was like, 'I got to change it up a little bit.'" Davidson and his girlfriend Elsie Hewitt announced another major change coming in their lives: the pair are expecting their first child. Hewitt shared a series of snapshots on Instagram, including a couple of shots of her with the 31-year-old comedian, a sonogram snap and memes from Love Island USA's latest season and Spongebob Squarepants. She also included a clip of the moment the couple saw their little one. "Welp now everyone knows we had sex," she joked. A source previously confirmed to PEOPLE that the pair were dating in March after they were spotted together in Palm Beach, Florida. In photos of their beach date, the couple was seen swimming in the ocean and sharing a smooch in the water.
