Rebecca Romijn loves The Real Housewives
The 52-year-old actress is a huge fan of the reality TV franchise, revealing that her favourite series largely depends on "the cast and season".
She told Us Weekly: "For a long time, my favourite Real Housewives franchise was Atlanta, but it shifts between Atlanta, Beverly Hills and New York."
Rebecca actually met a lot of the Real Housewives stars at Andy Cohen's baby shower, admitting that she loved the experience.
Rebecca - who played Mystique in the original trilogy of X-Men films - shared: "I met almost all of the Housewives at Andy Cohen's baby shower. It was very exciting."
The actress has enjoyed significant success in her career, starring in The Punisher and in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. But Rebecca used to feel overwhelmed by nerves during her early days in the business.
She said: "I used to get very nervous for auditions. [Now], I do a lot of deep breathing, which tells my body that everything is fine."
Rebecca has been married to actor Jerry O'Connell since 2007, and the loved-up couple recently opened up about their romance, revealing that they have separate bank accounts.
During a joint appearance on Andy Cohen Live, the actress shared: "We keep our money completely separate.
"That's like one of the first conversations you have when you decide to enter into a legal agreement together."
Rebecca explained that they do have one joint fund, but it's only used for their 16-year-old twin daughters.
Jerry said: "I have to say, we actually throttle how much money we put into that account sometimes depending on who's working more."
Rebecca added: "The one who's not working gets a little bit of a break and the one who is working puts in a little more. And we really tag-team with work."
The celebrity duo also ensure that at least one of them isn't working at all times, meaning that they can take care of the twins.
The actress explained: "No one else is ever going to raise them besides us."

Cops called as Denise Richards shows up at Aaron Phypers home
Denise Richards has accused Aaron Phypers of having one of her dogs put to sleep. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star turned up to the home in Calabasas, California where her estranged husband - who she has accused of domestic abuse - lives with his parents and brother on Sunday (03.08.25) in order to get one of her pets, but police were called amid her confrontation with his family. Denise has a restraining order in place which means Aaron can't be within 100 yards of her, and sources told TMZ that when she showed up unannounced and began banging on a back door, he immediately left because he was concerned about the legal measures in place. Aaron's parents eventually let Denise inside, where she is said to have barged in and demanded the dog, screaming at the couple and allegedly "swinging at" the actor's brother and "throwing mail" at him. Police arrived, and though Aaron's family were "very shaken" and "terrified", they ultimately concluded no crime had been committed and no arrests were made, and Denise's attorney insisted she had done nothing wrong. Lawyer Brett Berman told TMZ: "Ms. Richards did not violate a restraining order. "On August 3, 2025, after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present in her home, Ms. Richards entered the home to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission.' But Aaron, 52, insisted the statement was "absolutely false". He hit back: "Absolutely false, not true on both accusations. Denise's attorney has consistently struck out in pursuit of the truth. There is a difference between telling the truth and trying to protect your client. "Denise's actions are willfully intentional in the slander and destruction of what is left of a family. This is after Denise chose to carry on an adulterous affair - after being caught not once, not twice, but three times. "Having the title of attorney or being a celebrity does not put you above the law. It does not give you the right to humiliate others for the sake of your interests. Both of these actions have been readily apparent here in the last couple of weeks." Aaron recently denied Denise's allegations against him and insisted she had "physically assaulted" him and destroyed his phone. He told Us Weekly: "I absolutely deny the false allegations that I violated the restraining order or stole Denise's laptop or cell phones. "These claims are not only untrue — they are being weaponised to damage my reputation and distract from the truth. "In reality, Denise took my phone without consent, physically assaulted me when I tried to retrieve it, and later I discovered it smashed and hidden in a black trash bag inside the recycling bin."

How KPop Demon Hunters became one of Netflix's biggest hits
Last week, K Pop Demon Hunters was announced as Netflix's most watched original animated film of all time and is emerging as something of an unexpected cultural phenomenon. The movie has been sitting pretty in the No.1 slot for kids' movies and the No.2 slot overall with 26.3 million views globally in the last recorded week. If you've heard anyone mumbling the lyrics 'my little soda pop' under their breath, congratulations, you've accidentally encountered KPop Demon Hunters. What is KPop Demon Hunters? The 99-minute PG-rated movie was released on Netflix on June 20 to little fanfare, but since then, it has experienced snowballing popularity. The three-word synopsis of the title tidily sums up the plot, which follows three young women, Rumi, Mira and Zoey, of fictional K-pop girl group HUNTR/X (pronounced Huntrix). The trio also moonlight as demon hunters with the ultimate aim of sealing off the demon realm and its king Gwi-Ma from humankind. They're close to defeating the soul-sucking monsters until Jinu, a resident of the underworld, comes up with the genius idea of the Saja Boys, a demon boy band with floppy hair and rock-hard abs designed to win over HUNTR/X's fans and steal their spirits. Who's behind it? Maggie Kang, who co-directed it with Chris Appelhans. Born in Seoul and raised in Toronto, Kang told Variety the film is 'my love letter to K-pop and my Korean roots'. It took seven years from Kang's original pitch until it hit screens, with Kang describing it as her passion project. The film is also her directorial debut after she had worked in the animation departments on Minions: The Rise of Gru, The Croods: A New Age, The Lego Ninjago Movie and Trolls. Who's in it? The voice talent in the cast includes Partner Track 's Arden Cho as Rumi, Lost' s Yunjin Kim as former demon hunter Celine, Hawaii Five-0' s Daniel Dae Kim as a dodgy healer, Squid Game' s Lee Byung-hun as Gwi-Ma, The Hangover' s Ken Jeong as HUNTR/X's manager and Fire Island 's Joel Kim Booster in multiple roles. Loading Why has it become so big? The film was released by Netflix and produced by Sony Pictures Animation, so part of the answer might lie in Sony's pedigree as it was behind the similarly visually impressive, critically acclaimed 2023 movie Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. Being on Netflix also means that, unlike an expensive cinema outing, the film can be rewatched by kids, which is why it has become a word-of-mouth hit across playgrounds globally. Hang on, isn't animation struggling? Interestingly, KPop Demon Hunters is something of an anomaly, especially with much discussion about the death of original animation after Pixar's Elio flopped at the box office this year. The animated films that have succeeded are sequels, live-action remakes or existing intellectual properties, such as Inside Out 2, the new Lilo & Stitch and The Super Mario Bros. Movie. The fact the fresh plot of KPop Demon Hunters is being rewarded with eyeballs is certainly something to cheer about. Loading Is it worth all the fuss? Yes! For such a ridiculous sounding premise, incredibly well executed, pulling off the near-impossible Bluey -esque trick of being good fun for parents and adults to watch with legitimately funny quips peppered throughout. And forget the usual animated Disney princesses, the snack-loving, couch-adoring Rumi, Mira and Zoey are a breath of fresh air, managing to be simultaneously fierce, goofy and imperfect. And while KPop Demon Hunters functions perfectly as an action-packed, monster-slaying romp, it also has a deeper message about fighting inner demons and negative self-talk through unconditional friendship and self-acceptance. Not a bad message to be sneaking into the brains of tweens and older children. What do critics think? It holds an impressive 97 per cent fresh rating on review aggregate website Rotten Tomatoes, with The New York Times calling it 'an original universe that is charming, funny and artfully punchy'. What's the music like? Incredibly catchy, so catchy it's utterly believable that it's the work of demons wanting to take over humankind. The big hit Golden (basically the Let It Go -size breakout song from the movie) is sitting at No.1 on the ARIA single chart, while the soundtrack is at No.1 on the album chart, with Australia the first market globally to hit that double No.1 for the movie's music. In total, a whopping seven of the top 20 tracks on ARIA's singles chart currently come from the film's soundtrack. Internationally, the soundtrack has topped the Billboard Global 200 and even copped a David Guetta remix. Considering how much of a chokehold K-pop has on popular music, with groups such as Blackpink and BTS, the soundtrack's success is no surprise. KPop Demon Hunters smartly recruited talent directly from that world for the film's original tracks, with contributions from hit-making songwriters Teddy Park, Lindgren, Jenna Andrews and Ejae (who also serves as the singing voice of Rumi). Popular K-pop girl group Twice also recorded their version of HUNTR/X's banger Takedown. Will there be a sequel? While nothing has yet been officially announced, it's unthinkable there won't be some more juice to squeeze from a hit this big. Netflix has already been rolling out KPop Demon Hunters merch on its online store, with everything from HUNTR/X hoodies and Saja Boys badges, to a replica of the train and teddy-emblazoned pyjama pants Jinu mocks Rumi for wearing (they'll only run you a cool $117). And the movie's legion of fans will be pleased to hear Kang seems very open to the idea of expanding the KPop Demon Hunters universe. In an interview with ScreenRant, she said she was 'always' thinking of sequel ideas. 'There are always side stories, and there are things we've thought of while making this one,' she said. 'There are a lot of questions that are answered, but not fully. I think there are a lot of pockets that we can explore.'
