Former This Is Us star Chrissy Metz debuts 45kg weight loss
The 44-year-old actress, who recently spoke about her health journey, stepped out in a colourful pastel mini dress featuring shades of pink, blue, and yellow.
Her outfit, perfect for spring, included a V-neckline with ruffled detailing and short sleeves for a playful, feminine touch.
The This Is Us star completed her ensemble with a stylish twist — white cowboy boots that added a bold flair to her look.
Her appearance comes nearly a month after she shared new details about her approach to health and fitness, including the workout technique she credits with helping her stay in shape.
In a one-on-one interview with DailyMail.com, Metz opened up about her routine, revealing her renewed commitment to strength training.
'I have always enjoyed strength training. I've always enjoyed lifting weights,' she said, adding that she prefers it over traditional cardio exercises.
'I don't want to run unless I'm being chased,' she joked while discussing her second children's book, When I Talk to God, I Talk About Feelings.
Metz also spoke fondly of her trainer, who has been through his own weight loss transformation, something she finds especially motivating.
'We have things in common where it's not just like, 'Why are you doing this?' Like, I don't want to be yelled at. I want to be lovingly supported in whatever it is that I'm doing,' she shared about their sessions.
Beyond personal support, Metz says she's also driven by a long-term goal: maintaining her health as she ages.
'I want to age the best way that I can, and I want to be strong. And that's really the impetus behind any of it,' she emphasised.
Living in Nashville, Metz explained that concerns about ageing conditions like osteoporosis and arthritis are a big part of why she prioritises her wellbeing.
'I'm literally doing it because I am nervous about ageing, about osteoporosis or arthritis, you know, and because they are now discovering so much about health overall [and] it's really about being and staying strong and flexible.'
Her workout schedule may shift depending on her calendar, but she brings full enthusiasm to any new interest — whether it's exercising, gardening, or woodworking.
She 'loves to go ham, all in,' and 'chip away just a little bit every day.'
When asked her opinion on the use of Ozempic, Metz responded with a balanced, respectful view.
'It's something I feel is so personal.'
'I think if you're not hurting anybody, and you're not hurting yourself, you should do what you feel is right for your body or your mind or whatever.'
The Power of Women Nashville brunch, hosted by Melissa Joan Hart, spotlighted powerful speeches celebrating the vital role of women — particularly in the world of country music.

Harrison Ford has one rule for working with wife
Harrison Ford has one condition for working with his wife. The 83-year-old actor and his 60-year-old actress wife have never shared the screen together and although Harrison is open to the idea, he wants it to be 'someone else's idea'. He explained to Variety: 'If we get to work together, we'd want it to be someone else's idea. That kind of casting might not be the best way to bring people into an imagined situation, because [audiences] may say, 'Oh, I know they're married; now I'm not even thinking about the movie anymore.'' Harrison also insisted he has no plans to retire, because 'that's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts'. Harrison has recently been nominated for an Emmy for his role as Dr. Paul Rhoades, a senior therapist with Parkinson's disease, in Shrinking. Michael J. Fox, 64 - who was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 at the age of 29 – has joined the cast for the show's upcoming third season and Harrison says he has been 'essential' in helping him to accurately portray his character's journey with the illness. He said: 'It's been essential. Michael's courage, his fortitude and his grace, more than anything else, is on full display. He's very smart, very brave, noble, generous, passionate guy, and an example to all of us, whether we're facing Parkinson's or not. You cannot help but see how amazing it is to have such grace. 'So, he gives me both a physical representation of the disease to inform myself with, but more than that, he allows me to believe that Paul could believe that he could be adequate to the challenge. The truth is that we can't be f****** around with this just to make a joke or anything. Parkinson's is not funny. And I want to get it right. It's necessary to be correct with what we do in respect of the challenge that Parkinson's represents, and that we don't use it for its entertainment value.'

‘Better Call Saul' Creator's New Show ‘Pluribus' Drops This Year: Here's What We Know
By Dean Blake - News Published: 31 Jul 2025 Share Copy Link 0 Readtime: 5 min Every product is carefully selected by our editors and experts. If you buy from a link, we may earn a commission. Learn more. For more information on how we test products, click here. Vince Gilligan, the acclaimed writer/director of Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul, has been long teasing what was coming next. And now, three years after the end of Better Call Saul, we finally have a first look at just what he's been cooking up. Enter: Pluribus, Gilligan's latest entry into the sci-fi genre. While the teaser we've got is short, and doesn't really show us anything beyond the fact the show will include donuts, is named Pluribus (stylised as PLUR1BUS in the trailer), we do also know that it's coming to Apple TV+ later this year, and that it's already been renewed for a second season. The show will premiere its first two episodes on November 7, 2025 on Apple TV+, with new episodes dropping every Friday onward until December 26, signalling a 9 episode season. Admittedly, it's not much to go off from the teaser alone, but Gilligan and co. have actually been hinting at the series for the past several years. So, let's start by watching the teaser trailer, and then dive into what it all means. What is 'Pluribus'? Okay—so you've seen someone who looks like a janitor licking a bunch of donuts. Now what? Well, let's dive into what we know about this show. Firstly, it'll star Rhea Seehorn, who previously played Kim Wexler in Better Call Saul, as our main character, likely named Carol, who Apple describes as 'the most miserable person on Earth' who 'must save the world from happiness'. It'll be based in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and will also star Karolina Wydra as 'an optimistic woman named Ana'. The show has been teased with the tagline 'happiness is contagious', and we also know that Pluribus will be 'mild' science fiction, but that it'll also apparently be 'blended, grounded genre drama'. What does this mean? At this point who knows, but given the references to a contagion I think it's fair to say that we'll probably see an outbreak of some kind in episode one which will spread toxic positivity across the United States. That's a strange premise, and a total stab in the dark, but it's backed up by an IMBd credit for 'patient', interviews Gillian has given before, as well as the fact the key art for the show (at the top of this article) is clearly a smiley face in a petri dish. 'The world changes very abruptly in the first episode, and then it is quite different. It's the modern world — the world we live in — but it changes very abruptly. And the consequences that that reaps hopefully provide drama for many, many episodes after that,' Gilligan told Variety. It's also possible that there'll be some cultish shenanigans going on. At 2025's San Diego Comic-Con, Apple hired a big yellow donut van to advertise the show, with a blackboard on the side with a phone number and the text 'call us, Carol'. Con-goers that called the included number were sent a voice message saying: 'Hi Carol. We're so glad you called. We can't wait for you to join us. Dial 0 and we'll get back to you via text message.' Texting 0 saw a text message delivered: 'Please know your life is your own, Carol. You have agency…You must have so many questions for us! Understand, we only want to make you happy.' Now—take this with a big old grain of salt, but there have also been rumours that the show (via its pre-production moniker Wycaro 339) could involve aliens that are looking to disrupt life on Earth (perhaps via a happiness contagion), and that have invaded our society. That also gives a bit of new meaning to the setting of New Mexico, which houses Roswell aka one of the most infamous 'alien crash sites' in US history. Also, I'm just spitballing here, but the way Wycaro 339 is written sure looks how planets are categorised to me. It's also worth noting that some of Gilligan's earliest work was as a writer on the X-Files, and that the man himself has hinted that this show felt like a 'return to his roots'. The truth is out there, folks. There's one more thing I want to touch on: the meaning of the word 'pluribus'. It's latin for 'many', and is pretty famously found on the great seal of the United States in the form of 'E pluribus unum', or 'out of many, one'. This use is used to reference the fact that the United States is, in fact, one whole made up of many parts (or states), but within the context of Gilligan's new show it could instead refer to the singularity of our miserable main character being the odd-woman out in a world infected by happiness. After all, why else would the word 'pluribus' be stylised as 'PLUR1BUS', with a 1 signalling individuality within the 'many'.

There isn't a ton to go on here, but as mentioned above the existence of a 'patient' character does lend credence to the idea that Pluribus could follow a contagion of some kind. Here's everyone we know will be in Pluribus: Rhea Seehorn (as Carol) Karolina Wydra (as Ana) Jennifer Bravo (as Neighbour) McKenzie Scott (as Patient) Joanne Marie (as Citizen) Miriam Shor Sambra Schutte Carlos-Manuel Vesga When Can I Watch 'Pluribus'? The show will premiere its first two episodes on November 7, 2025 on Apple TV+, with new episodes dropping every Friday onward until December 26, signalling a 9 episode season.

Harrison Ford doesn't have any retirement plans
Harrison Ford doesn't have any plans to retire. The 83-year-old star believes actors are fortunate in that there's no strict time limit on their working life. Asked if he'll ever retire, Harrison told Variety: "No. That's one of the things I thought was attractive about the job of an actor, was that they need old people, too, to play old people's parts." Harrison has worked with some of the biggest names in the movie industry - including Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Ford Coppola - during the course of his career. And the Hollywood icon feels fortunate to have worked through the 70s and 80s, too. He said: "You're talking about a very exciting time in the movie business. In the late '70s and through the '80s, there was this group of young filmmakers, all of them wildly independent, both in spirit and in mind, who wanted to make their own films their own way, and they all burst upon the scene at much the same time. "I was very lucky to lump in with those guys because I was of a youthful age. But I never expected to be anything more than a character actor. I never wanted to be anything more than somebody that made a living as an actor." Harrison played Han Solo in the Star Wars franchise, but he wasn't sure whether the original film would lead to a sequel. The veteran movie star explained: "I didn't really know whether there was going to be another film when we started, and because I didn't know whether there would be another film — and because I only had the script from the first one to consider — I didn't sign the sequel deal, which turned out to be to all of our advantage." Harrison also played the titular character in the Indiana Jones franchise, and the actor was always convinced that the first film would become a huge success. Asked how he felt reprising the character for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, Harrison explained: "I wanted to see him as an older man facing the consequences of the life that he had lived. But I couldn't imagine that we were going to end up doing five of them. I didn't expect success. In the movie business, you always go in wanting to be successful, but you don't always expect to be. "I did expect the first film would be wildly successful. I read it very quickly, one time. I'd been asked by George Lucas to go and meet Steven Spielberg, who I didn't know, and he sent me a script to read. I thought it was great. And then I went to meet Steven, we spent about an hour together and suddenly I had a job."
