Jenna Bush Hager Gets ‘White Lotus'-Inspired Bob on ‘Today'
The saga of Jenna's bob actually began two months ago when Leslie, who starred as Kate, the more uptight of a trio of friends vacationing in Thailand in season 3 of The White Lotus, appeared as a guest on Today. The character immediately stood out to fans, not just because of Leslie's performance, but also because of her character's (affectionately called) 'cunty little bob.'
While gushing over Leslie's performance during the interview, Jenna mentioned that she loved her bob, even saying, 'I'm getting a bob. I'm getting a bob based only on you.' She then told Leslie that she would do it if celebrity hairdresser, Chris McMillan, who cut Leslie's new signature bob, would come on the show. Ask and you shall receive, Jenna!
Leslie returned to Jenna and Friends on Monday as a co-host, Chris in tow, to help Jenna get a brand new, White Lotus makeover. Viewers got to see Chris begin to cut Jenna's hair, but the final bob wasn't revealed until Tuesday. 'This is my hair!' she said, walking onto the stage.
'You look sexy and powerful and glamorous. And I kept saying it yesterday—you're a badass,' Leslie said, praising Jenna's vulnerability and willingness to go through such a big makeover on camera.
Not everyone in Jenna's life was thrilled with the transformation. The Today host shared a video of her three kids, none of whom seemed very happy. One even turned away to fake cry—something Jenna assures viewers is her family's 'love language.' So, it might have been a miss with the kids, but it was a hit with the husband, Henry Hager. 'The best thing is that my husband did like it,' she said. 'He was like, 'Damn, that's hot.''
Jenna and Leslie are making a pretty convincing argument the bob, but are you ready to try it?

Jessica Simpson Confirms She's Single Post-Divorce
Jessica Simpson might be done with ex Eric Johnson for good, but she wants the world to know that she's not through with love. In fact, during an appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends, Jessica revealed what she wants in a man in the wake of her divorce, and it's actually pretty simple. Just hours after dropping a new single 'Fade,' which fans are convinced is about Eric, Jessica told Jenna Bush Hager that she's actively searching for a new beau. 'I'm slightly terrified,' she began when asked if she was ready to date. But when Jenna offered to set her up, the singer jumped at the chance. 'I am single! I'm ready,' she said. Like any good matchmaker, Jenna followed up, asking Jessica what she was looking for in a man. 'My type of person is one of a kind,' she said. 'I don't have a look or anything like that. I just go for somebody to be individually who they are and exude confidence without the ego.' Jessica continued, 'It's hard to find, but I feel like it's out there.' She might not have a physical type, but Jessica did have some personality requirements. 'I don't need somebody to be supportive of me all the time,' she said, adding, 'The independence that I have right now—if I can have that and give to somebody else, that would be cool.' Her other non-negotiable? 'Has to be a very good kisser,' she said. 'To me, that's the most intimate thing. Like, grab my face and pull me in. Can you tell I need it?' Jessica appeared on Today on Wednesday to promote her new music—her first release in over a decade. She took a step back after welcoming her first child, Maxwell, with Eric, and continued to take a break from music as she welcomed two more kids, Ace and Birdie. She announced her split from Eric in January after 10 years of marriage and has turned all that heartbreak into brand new music. 'Music saved my life,' she told Today in a prior segment. 'Nashville saved my life, all the songwriters, my band, everybody.' Welcome back, Jessica!

Jessica Simpson rolls with wardrobe malfunction on 'Today' show
Jessica Simpson might have stepped away from music for more than a decade, but she's still a pro who keeps her cool on stage. The multi-hyphenate "A Public Affair" singer, 45, rolled with the punches when she experienced a minor wardrobe malfunction while performing on the "Today" show's Citi Concert Series Wednesday, July 23. While performing a medley of her '90s and 2000s hits "I Think I'm in Love with You" and "With You," her pale pink satin corset-style top appeared to slip down on the left side, showing a pink bra. "Of course, I have, like, a malfunction here and everywhere. But it's OK. I think my boob stayed in, so that's good," she told the "Today" hosts afterward. Simpson, whose last musical project was a Christmas album in 2010, released the first half of her two-part EP, "Nashville Canyon, Part 1," in March. Her set melded songs new and old, from "Fade" off her upcoming September EP release to 2005's "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'." "It was incredibly healing" to write new songs, Simpson told co-host Jenna Bush-Hager. "I was in Nashville; it was a crazy time for me. My life literally flipped upside down, and I really just had to focus on my purpose." She was "trying to inspire myself to get back up there, have the courage to do it in the face of heartbreak and the face of life completely changing," Simpson added. "Music saved my life. Nashville saved my life. All the songwriters, my band, everybody." In January, the singer and businesswoman revealed in a statement shared with USA TODAY that she and her husband of 10 years, Eric Johnson, were "living separately (and) navigating a painful situation in our marriage." They share three children: daughter Maxwell Drew, 13, son Ace Knute, 12, and daughter Birdie Mae, 6.

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.
