Kristin Cavallari is open to talking about anything or anyone – except this one person
In USA TODAY's The Essentials, celebrities share what fuels their lives, whether it's at home, on set, or on the road.
NEW YORK – Kristin Cavallari describes her life as "peaceful," something she's "worked really hard for." But maintaining that peace is the main reason why she has no interest in returning to reality television on a full-time basis.
"A reality show does not offer any peace whatsoever," Cavallari tells USA TODAY while promoting… well, a reality show.
The podcaster and business owner, 38, says her life isn't the right "recipe right now for a good reality show."
"Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" (Wednesdays, 10 p.m. ET/9 CT, on E! and streaming on Peacock) gives her fans a behind-the-scenes look at the star's first ever live podcast tour.
"I don't think my life is actually that interesting," she says. "My day-to-day is pretty normal, pretty boring. (My) podcast tour was great; lent itself to great storyline. But I don't have that in my day-to-day life."
Kristin Cavallari reveals the one person she's done talking about
Kristin Cavallari chats with USA TODAY's Ralphie Aversa about her show "Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour" and the one topic that's off limits.
Kristen Cavallari explains how she deals with headlines, anxiety
Cavallari admits that since launching her podcast, "Let's Be Honest," she's the "most open I've ever been" when it comes to sharing her life with others. Over the past eight months, Cavallari has made headlines for topics ranging from a past fling with Glen Powell to her strained relationship with her father. Despite the recent news, the former "Laguna Beach" star says some of these "new" stories actually date back to over two decades ago.
"Some of the things that have popped up are so old, but I'm having to live them as though they just happened," she says. "Headlines have been a part of my life since I was 17 and I wish I had a better way of handling it. They still stress me out. They still give me anxiety."
Cavallari's coping mechanism is detachment, she says, and she does her best not to read headlines or comments on social media.
"What people are saying about me actually has nothing to do with me," she says. "I think when you can finally get that place and understand that, it's a really freeing thing. And I think that comes with maturity and age."
Cavallari has been dealing with headlines and pubic interest in personal life since she rose to fame in 2004 as a cast member of MTV's hit reality show "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County," followed by its spinoff "The Hills."
"My dating life has been the one thing that people have always really latched onto," Cavallari says, referencing "Laguna Beach" and her ex-boyfriend, Stephen Colletti. "I'm sure that's because I came into the world on reality TV with my boyfriend at the time, so people have felt like they're entitled to know what's going on in my dating life.
Cavallari says that when she separated from her ex-husband, former NFL quarterback Jay Cutler, it was initially hard to wrap her head around the idea that people were once again interested in her dating life.
Public debut for private Kristin Cavallari's kids
The series marks the on-camera debut for Cavallari's children: Camden, 12, Jaxon, 10, and Saylor, 9. She shares all three with Cutler.
"I want to keep my kids, kids," she continues. "Me putting them in a couple of scenes (of the show) does not change that."
This topic is off-limits for Kristin Cavallari
The podcast host says she's also keeping her life peaceful by focusing on what matters the most to her: family and friends. And the one topic she's done talking about is her ex-husband.
"I'm not going to talk about the legal stuff with their dad," Cavallari responds when asked about any conversations she had with Cutler regarding their kids' onscreen debut. The two married in 2013; Cavallari announced her split from Cutler on Instagram in April 2020.
"I would prefer not to talk about my ex, you know what I mean?" she continues. "It's been over five years. I kind of wish that everyone would just move on."
As for Cavallari's current dating life, that's not off-limits, although the Uncommon James founder doesn't have much to report on that front.
"I haven't dated at all this year," she reveals. "I did that intentionally leading up to the podcast tour. I didn't want any distractions. (Dating is) not on my priority list right now. Between work and my kids, I'm kind of maxed out."

'Sorry, Baby': How Eva Victor turned 'very personal' trauma into a must-see comedy
Eva Victor fell in love with acting in a high-school production of the musical 'Spring Awakening.' 'I was the tallest Wendla in the history of the world,' deadpans Victor, 31, whose lanky 5-foot-11 frame is a frequent punchline in her comedy. 'I was like, 'This is my life.' It was very formative for me. I could do the whole 'Mama Who Bore Me (Reprise)' for you right now.' The former theater kid is now a first-time filmmaker, winning a best screenplay prize at Sundance Film Festival for the beautifully tender and wryly observed 'Sorry, Baby' (in theaters nationwide July 25). The movie follows a newly tenured English professor named Agnes (Victor) as she discovers that her best friend, Lydie (Naomi Ackie), is pregnant. But while Lydie and their grad-school classmates are checking off major life milestones, Agnes is still emotionally stunted after being raped years earlier by a thesis adviser, Decker (Louis Cancelmi). Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox 'It's a very personal story and I took great joy in it being narrative fiction,' says Victor, who uses they/she pronouns. 'Naomi said this thing that really stuck with me, about how trauma becomes like a stone in a river. You don't get to choose that it's put there, and a lot of the pain is trying to get rid of the stone. But that's actually not possible – it's really about figuring out how to move and grow around it.' 'Sorry, Baby' is disarmingly funny despite the serious subject matter, as Agnes finds comfort in her sheepish neighbor, Gavin (Lucas Hedges), and butts up against the clinical ways that people in power speak to her about assault. Victor, who gained prominence with their viral comedy videos during the pandemic, drew from a wide swath of cinematic influences, ranging from 'Juno' to 'Fargo' to 'Singin' in the Rain.' Victor recently chatted with USA TODAY about the film: Edited and condensed for clarity. Question: There's a moment that really moved me, when Agnes says, "I don't see myself getting older or having kids. I don't see myself at all." What does that line mean to you? Eva Victor: Agnes had this youthful lust for life and her career and her creative expression, and among the many things that were taken from her through this experience, one of them is that dreaming ability. I imagine a world where Agnes is able to dream again, but she is robbed of imagining the future and forced to confront the daily tasks of the world that were once easy and are now extremely hard to get through. I think when she says, 'I can't see myself,' she's speaking to, 'My mind is empty when I imagine what could happen next. People around me are able to see things, but right now, I can't.' So that line means a lot to me, too. Agnes and Lydie often tell each other, "Please don't die." It's a seemingly grim yet relatably heartfelt sentiment – where did that come from? I had a playwriting teacher in college that said this thing I think about all the time, which is that saying 'I love you' is wonderful, but how do these characters say 'I love you?" What is the way that they're able to communicate that in their own private language? On 'Grey's Anatomy,' Cristina and Meredith say, 'You're my person,' and in this movie, I feel like that might be Agnes and Lydie's version of it. There are many quiet scenes of characters supporting Agnes, whether it's through a long hug or a sandwich. Did you ever have to resist the urge to make it "more Hollywood?" There's a part where Agnes gets lighter fluid from Gavin, and I remember writing, 'Oh, she goes to Decker's office and tries to light it on fire.' But the next day, I looked at it and was like, 'That's not what she wants.' Instead, she goes home and she's like, 'I almost did something crazy.' In moments that I wanted to indulge in more movie energy, I tried to remember what this person would actually do. Also, I wanted the world to have people in it who aren't very good at reading the room, like the doctor and the HR women. When Agnes goes to jury duty, there are a bunch of prying questions that feel very scary and make her retreat back into her hole. So I wanted it to be what felt true to me: this combination of people who are lifesaving and holding this person, and then people who are not able to see her pain. How did your experiences making videos for social media, and writing for the satire site Reductress, inform your work on this movie? The muscle of putting something into the world when no one's asking for it from you is embarrassing and necessary. I never had the experience of someone coming in like, 'You should play this!' I've always been making stuff in order to make stuff happen, so the scrappiness was helpful, like, 'Just keep working!' Also, those videos got me in the habit of watching myself and quickly making decisions about whether it was a good take for me or whether I wanted to do it again. That relationship with myself was already figured out by the time I got to set. Have you started to think about what's next? I'm going to cuddle with my cat. I've been doing so much traveling and I really have missed him. It's so funny, when I was writing 'Sorry, Baby,' the only thing I wanted was to share it with the world and open all the floodgates of my feelings. Now that that's happening, I think going back to a private space is going to be just the perfect remedy I need and we'll see what comes.

"The Equalizer" — Ended on May 4 This series, starring Queen Latifah, is a reboot of the '80s crime drama of the same name. It aired on CBS for five seasons until it was canceled in May. "The Righteous Gemstones" — Ended on May 4 " The Righteous Gemstones" ended this year after four seasons on HBO and countless jokes at the expense of the Gemstone family, a dynasty of televangelists who were … less than Christlike, we'll say. "Night Court" — Ended on May 6 NBC revived "Night Court," which originally ran from 1984 to 1992, in 2023. This iteration starred Melissa Rausch as Abby Stone (the daughter of Harry Stone, the original's main character), the judge during the night shift at Manhattan's Criminal Court. The revival brought back John Larroquette as Dan Fielding, who was originally a prosecutor, but is now a public defender. The show ran for three seasons before it was canceled. "Blood of Zeus" — Ended on May 10 "Blood of Zeus" is an animated series on Netflix about the Heron, a demigod and son of Zeus, who was intent on saving the universe. It was difficult for this show to gain a following, as the first season dropped in 2020, only for season two to come four years later in May 2024. In July 2024, the streamer greenlit a third and final season, which dropped this May. "Andor" — Ended on May 13 "Andor," arguably the best piece of media ever produced in the "Star Wars" franchise, wrapped up its two-season run on Disney+ in May 2025.

"Found" — Ended on May 15 "Found" starred Shanola Hampton as Gabi Mosely, a PR specialist and the leader of a team of experts who dedicated their lives to finding missing people who had been overlooked by the system. The twist? Gabi herself was a kidnapping victim, and eventually found her tormentor (played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar), kidnapped him, and used him as an expert to solve her cases. It aired in 2023, and NBC canceled the show after two seasons. "SWAT" — Ended on May 16 "SWAT" was canceled by CBS a total of three times (after seasons six, seven, and eight) — but this last one seems to have stuck, with the series finale airing in May with no news of a surprise season nine. "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" — Ended on May 16 "Grosse Pointe Garden Society" aired for one season on NBC before it was canceled. It starred Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, Ben Rappaport, and AnnaSophia Robb as a group of friends who are forced to cover up a murder via their gardening society. "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" — Final season announced on May 15 "Power Book III: Raising Kanan" is a spin-off (and prequel) of the Starz series "Power," which starred 50 Cent as an adult Kanan Stark, a powerful drug dealer. "Raising Kanan" premiered in 2021 and stars Mekai Curtis as a young Kanan as they're first getting into the drug business. On May 15, Starz announced that the coming fifth season will be its last. However, on July 22, the network announced a prequel to "Raising Kanan" called "Power: Origins," with Curtis reprising his role. "Suits LA" — Ended on May 18 It didn't take long after the original run of "Suits" exploded on Netflix for NBC to greenlight an LA-based spin-off of the legal drama called "Suits LA," this time starring Stephen Amell as a hotshot entertainment lawyer named Ted Black. Alas, not even a cameo from Harvey Spector (Gabriel Macht) could save this show from getting the ax after one season. "FBI: International" — Ended on May 20 "FBI: International," a spin-off of the long-running procedural "FBI," ended in May after four seasons on CBS. "FBI: Most Wanted" — Ended on May 20 The other "FBI" spin-off, "FBI: Most Wanted," ended on the same night after six seasons. "Big Mouth" — Ended on May 23 One of Netflix's first original hits, " Big Mouth" concluded its story in May after eight seasons, 81 episodes, a spin-off, and many, many jokes about puberty. "Around the Horn" — Ended on May 23 ESPN's long-running panel show ended in May after airing for over 20 years and nearly 5,000 episodes. "Alert: Missing Persons Unit" — Ended on May 27 In "Alert," Scott Caan and Dania Ramirez starred as exes who both worked at Philadelphia's Missing Persons Unit. The catch? They're dealing with the unsolved disappearance of their son together. It aired on Fox for three seasons, from 2023 to 2025. "The Handmaid's Tale" — Ended on May 27 Hulu's longest-running series came to a close this year, wrapping up the six-seasons-long story of the country of Gilead and its inhabitants: June (Elisabeth Moss), Serena (Yvonne Strahovski), Janine (Madeline Brewer), Aunt Lydia (Ann Dowd), Nick (Max Minghella), Luke (OT Fagbenle), and Commander Joseph (Bradley Whitford). We likely won't be out of this universe for long, though — a spin-off based on Margaret Atwood's sequel novel "The Testaments" is in production. "Laid" — Canceled on May 29 "Laid" stars Stephanie Hsu as Ruby, a 30-something party planner who is horrified to discover that her past sexual partners are dying, in the order she slept with them.

"All American" — Final season announced on June 2 "All American" has been airing on The CW since 2018, and follows a teenager, Spencer (Daniel Ezra), who moves from the lower-income neighborhood of Crenshaw Heights to the luxurious Beverly Hills to play football at a better school.

"The Cleaning Lady" — Ended on June 3 For four seasons on Fox, Élodie Yung has starred as Thony De La Rosa, an immigrant living in Las Vegas who, after witnessing a crime, is forced to act as a cleaning lady for the mob in order to secure lifesaving medical treatments for her son. It was canceled on June 6, three days after the fourth season ended. "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" — Final season announced on June 12 In an interesting move, "Strange New Worlds" was renewed for a final fifth before season three had begun airing on Paramount+, per a Star Trek post on Instagram. The final season is already set to begin filming later this year. "After Midnight" — Ended on June 13 The late-night panel game show hosted by Taylor Tomlinson was canceled by CBS in March after two seasons. Its final episode aired in June and featured appearances by Gillian Jacobs, Marcella Arguello, and Paul F. Tompkins. "Farmhouse Fixer," "Married to Real Estate," "Izzy Does It," and "Bargain Block" — Canceled on June 26 It was a bloodbath at HGTV, with the home-improvement network announcing the cancellation of four shows in the space of a couple of days. "Squid Game" — Ended on June 27 Netflix's behemoth hit, the South Korean series "Squid Game," concluded after three seasons (and countless deaths) — though the finale did set up a potential American spin-off. "Tour de France: Unchained" — Ended on July 2 The Netflix series about the behind-the-scenes lives of the cyclists on the Tour de France was canceled in February after three seasons, reported Cycling Weekly. Its final batch of episodes dropped on July 2 "Pulse" — Canceled on July 2 "Pulse" suffered from being released on Netflix at the same time that HBO Max's superior medical drama " The Pitt" was concluding its highly acclaimed first season. It was canceled on July 2, just months after its April premiere. "The Residence" — Canceled on July 2 "The Residence" stars Uzo Aduba as Cordelia Cupp, a detective who's called to the White House after the body of the Chief Usher A. B. Wynter (Giancarlo Esposito) is discovered at a state dinner. The series dropped in March, and Netflix canceled it after one season on July 2. Just two weeks later, Aduba was nominated for an Emmy for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series. "No Good Deed" — Canceled on July 2 "No Good Deed" was canceled by Netflix on July 2, six months after its first season dropped in December 2024. The dark comedy series follows an ensemble cast of three couples who were all vying for the same house. "Duster — Ended on July 3 "Duster" is a '70s crime drama that aired from May to July. It stars Rachel Hilson as Nina Hayes, the first Black female FBI agent, and Josh Holloway as Jim Ellis, her trusty getaway driver. The drama was canceled by HBO Max a week after the first season finale. "Grantchester" — Canceled on July 8 "Grantchester," a co-production between ITV and PBS Masterpiece Theater, has been airing since 2014. The mystery show has starred Robson Green as Geordie Keating, a World War II veteran and detective since the beginning. On July 8, Variety reported that the upcoming 11th season will be its last. "Queer Eye" — Final season announced on July 9 After a bit of drama and a casting shake-up, "Queer Eye," one of the most heartwarming shows on Netflix, will conclude after its upcoming 10th season, the streamer announced on July 9. Production of the final season has begun and is set to star " heroes" (as the show calls them) from Washington, DC. "The Late Show With Stephen Colbert" — Canceled on July 17 Colbert announced on the July 17 episode of "The Late Show" had been canceled by CBS. The final episodes are set to air in 2026. "The Sandman" — Ends on July 31 "The Sandman," based on the Neil Gaiman comic of the same name, premiered in August 2022. It was confirmed to be renewed in November of that year, but it took almost three years for the second season to hit the streamer. In January, Netflix announced the show's second season would also be its last, according to Deadline. Some speculate the hit show may have ended earlier than intended because, in July 2024, a Tortoise Media podcast series covered five sexual-assault allegations against Gaiman that were made over the past few decades. (In a statement to Tortoise Media, Gaiman said he "denies any unlawful behavior" and was "disturbed" by the allegations.) However, in a statement on X, showrunner Allan Heinberg said the decision to make it a two-season show had been made in 2022 after looking "at the remaining 'Dream' material from the comics," the team knew they "only had enough story for one more season." Season two was split into three parts, with the final episode dropping on July 31. "Upload" — Ends on August 25 "Upload" stars Robbie Amell as a recently deceased 27-year-old named Nate, whose consciousness was uploaded into a virtual afterlife by his girlfriend Ingrid (Allegra Edwards). However, while inside the program, Nate falls for his afterlife "handler" Nora (Andy Allo), who is still alive and just works in the virtual landscape. The show's fourth and final season is set to premiere on Prime Video in August, after its renewal was announced in March 2024. "The Summer I Turned Pretty" — Ends on September 17 " The Summer I Turned Pretty" is based on the three-book series of the same name by Jenny Han, so it makes sense that the show will be bringing the story of Belly and the Fisher brothers to a close after three seasons on Prime Video. The finale is set to air on September 17. "Acapulco" — Ends on September 17 "Acapulco" began airing on Apple TV+ in 2021. It stars Eugenio Derbez as a hotel mogul, Maximo Gallardo Ramos. The show jumps back and forth in time with a young Maximo (played by Enrique Arrizon) in '80s Mexico. In May, Deadline reported that the fourth season of "Acapulco," set to air through September 17, will be its last. "Bel-Air" — Final season begins this fall The dramatic re-imagining of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" didn't manage to last as long as the sitcom (which aired for six seasons from 1990 to 1996), but four seasons is a perfectly respectable number. Deadline reported in December 2024 that the fourth season would be its last, with the final eight episodes expected to drop in the fall. "Power Book IV: Force" — Final season begins this fall The third spin-off and direct sequel to "Power," this one focused on Joseph Sikora's character Tommy Egan, aired on Starz for two seasons before its cancellation in June 2024. The third and final season is expected to air at some point this fall. "My Hero Academia" — Final season begins on October 10 The popular and long-running anime is set to begin its eighth and final season this October. The series takes place in a world where almost everyone has superpowers (called Quirks in the show) — but, of course, our hero Izuku is born without one, and tries to prove himself worthy in other ways. "The Neighborhood" — Final season begins on October 13 "The Neighborhood's" coming eighth season will also be its last one, CBS announced in March. This fall, viewers will see the final adventures of Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer), Dave (Max Greenfield), Tina (Tichina Arnold), and Gemma (Beth Behrs), along with the rest of the neighborhood. "Neighbours" — Ends in December 2025 After 40 seasons, dozens of future A-list Australian actors, and four different networks, the Australian soap opera "Neighbours" is set to come to a conclusion at the end of this year. "Outlander" — Ends in late 2025 It's not known exactly when the last season of "Outlander" will hit Starz, but it's expected to drop by the end of 2025. The final season was announced back in January 2023, so it's been a long " Droughtlander," as the fans call it. Filming wrapped in September 2024. However, viewers won't have to say goodbye to the Fraser clan. A prequel, " Outlander: Blood of My Blood," premieres on August 8. "Stranger Things" — Ends on December 31 The fifth and final season of " Stranger Things" may be one of the most anticipated drops of 2025. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait until the very last day of the year to find out what happens to our favorite Hakwins residents, with the three-part final season set to kick off on November 26 and end on December 31.

Sacha Baron Cohen stuns with jacked physique after Marvel debut: See his new look
Borat who? Sacha Baron Cohen is sporting a shockingly different look these days. As he enters the Marvel-verse as Mephisto, the notorious supervillain, Cohen has ditched his signature "confused comic" look for a figure that is well, jacked. On the cover of Men's Fitness U.K., Cohen shows off bulging biceps, a freshly shaven beard and an unmistakable 6-pack. That Cohen would go all in for his transformation is no surprise; he is perhaps best known for his tireless commitment to the bit, going full character-actor as Borat or Ali G, for the benefit of political satire. Cohen worked with celebrity trainer Alfonso Moretti to get in shape for his role in Marvel's "Ironheart," according to Men's Fitness. The comedian said his workout routine included 100 push-ups a day, while Moretti said his diet was "high fibre, low sugar, plenty of protein — nothing fancy, nothing extreme." On his Instagram story, the "Borat" star shared the Men's Fitness cover and joked, "This is not AI, I really am egotistical enough to do this." "Some celebs use Ozempic, some use private chefs, others use personal trainers," he wrote. "I did all three." In another Instagram story, Cohen joked he is "hard launching my mid-life crisis" and "debuting my new character: middle aged man who replaced beer with protein shakes." On July 1, Cohen made a surprise appearance in the Disney+ series "Ironheart" as Mephisto, who is essentially the Marvel comics equivalent of Satan. In the show, the main villain is revealed to have made a "deal with the devil" with Mephisto for his powers. The series' title character, Riri Williams, eventually makes her own bargain with Mephisto to bring back a loved one. It hasn't been confirmed when or where Cohen might return as Mephisto, but the character could have a major role in Marvel's future. In the comics, Mephisto has been involved in storylines connected to characters like Spider-Man and Doctor Strange. Mephisto's on-screen debut was highly anticipated, but Cohen's casting had not been officially announced prior to his "Ironheart" debut. "He's one of the big, big, big bads in the comics that has a lot of tethers to characters that we've been working with for years, and also characters that we hopefully will work with in the future," Brad Winderbaum, head of Marvel Television, previously told USA TODAY. Winderbaum also teased Mephisto's possible big-screen debut, telling USA TODAY, "Without going into too much detail, the types of projects he will be in are not dependent on television."
