Why Demi Skipped 'The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Reunion
Season 2's reunion is hosted by Bachelor alum Nick Viall, and a trailer just dropped that looks extremely dramatic. But it's unclear how the Mormon Wives will navigate all of said drama when Demi isn't at their group therapy session.
So, why did she skip? Demi answered this burning question on Instagram a bit ago, saying "It was short notice and the only day they could get the location secured was the day that me and my entire family did Disneyland. We had already booked all of our flights and the Airbnb was nonrefundable or I would've moved the trip to be there. I tried to have production move it to another day and they couldn't swing it sadly."
Meanwhile, Demi's ex Mormon Wives bestie Jessi Ngatikaura just told The Post, "I was frustrated because we all were told of the date weeks in advance and we just had to make it work. It's our job. I was actually teaching a hair class that weekend and I had 60 students who had flown in mostly from out of state to learn from me, and I had to have someone else teach the class and I have a lot of people disappointed and wanting money back. So for me, I had to make a big sacrifice. So I was really annoyed that she wasn't there, especially because she was one that everyone needed answers from."
She added, "But I will say, everyone has different situations and whether she wanted to be there or not, it's what happened. And I do think that fans are going to see that you will hear from her at the reunion in a roundabout way and you still will get answers."
Intriggggguing.

What Michael Madsen was working on in the ‘next chapter' of his life before tragic death at 67
Veteran actor Michael Madsen was looking forward to his future before his sudden death at 67. The late star reportedly died from cardiac arrest in LA on Thursday, his manager, Ron Smith, confirmed. A prolific actor with over 300 movies and TV shows under his belt, Madsen was best known for his roles in the 'Kill Bill' movies, 'Reservoir Dogs,' 'The Hateful Eight' and 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Advertisement 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films 'Resurrection Road,' 'Concessions' and 'Cookbook for Southern Housewives,' and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life,' his managers Susan Ferris and Smith, and publicist Liz Rodriguez told The Post in a statement. 7 Michael Madsen placing his handprint and bootprint in cement to be displayed with other celebrity cement impressions in the rooms at the Roosevelt Hotel in 2003.

Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.' In addition to a slew of Tarantino movies, he appeared in 'Thelma & Louise,' 'Free Willy,' 'Donnie Brasco' and 'Die Another Day.' 'Fame is a two-edged sword,' he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2018. 'There are a lot of blessings but also a lot of heavy things that come with it. I think it has a lot to do with the characters I've played. I think I've been more believable than I should have been. I think people really fear me. They see me and go: 'Holy sh–t, there's that guy!''

When I'm not making a movie, I'm home, in pajamas, watching The 'Rifleman' on TV, hopefully with my 12-year-old making me a cheeseburger.' In 2024, Madsen filed for divorce from his wife, DeAnna Madsen, after 28 years together. He cited irreconcilable differences as the reason for their split, per court documents obtained by The Post, and claimed that they officially separated shortly after their 26-year-old son Hudson died by suicide on Jan. 25, 2022.

I'll never forget one of the best scenes I've ever seen on film, of you and Chris Penn fighting in 'Reservoir Dogs.' A great love scene. Give Chris a hug for me.' His 'Kill Bill' co-star Vivica A. Fox, for her part, told The Post: 'Had the pleasure of working with Michael Madsen on 'Kill Bill' and several other films! Michael was a talented man with an AMAZING onscreen presence. My deepest condolences and prayers to his family.' 7 Michael Madsen, his wife DeAnna and their daughter arrive for the signing of Michael Madsen's book 'American Badass' at Matteo's Restaurant on October 30, 2009 in Westwood, California.

'I sure as hell had my rabble-rousing days, but sooner or later you have to get over that and move on.I guess it's part of the whole bad-boy package. But I'd rather have a movie like 'Reservoir Dogs' than not have it,' the late star told THR in 2018. 'There are a lot of actors that are a lot more recognized or famous that me, who get paid a lot more than me who haven't done even one film that you'd remember. So I feel blessed and lucky that, that whatever I've done, I've done a couple of films that will be around for a long time and are respected.'

Joey Chestnut vows to reclaim Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest crown after being barred last year
He's relishing his return! Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest legend Joey Chestnut vowed at Thursday's weigh-in to kick his rival's buns — after he was forced to skip the competition last year due to a sponsorship dispute with a vegan wiener brand. 'My body feels amazing,' Chestnut, 41, told The Post before tipping the scales at 238 pounds. 'Some days, you wake up and your body is not cooperating, but I feel like everything is going well today.' Advertisement 'I should be able to get that title back,' Chestnut, who is 6 feet 1 inch tall, said at the event at Hudson Yards in Manhattan. 4 Chestnut weighs in at 238 pounds, and is 6 feet 1 inch tall. Paul Martinka The competitive eating king — who has won the celebrated Fourth of July scarf-fest a belt-popping 16 times — was dethroned last year by Chicago native Patrick Bertoletti after he was barred from competing. Advertisement Chestnut was bounced from the contest in June 2024 over his deal with Impossible Foods, which had recently launched a plant-based hot dog. But last year's beef won't hold him back, Chestnut said Thursday. 'We didn't burn any bridges. I love this event. I was willing to keep talking and I'm happy we figured it out,' he said of the dust-up with Major League Eating. 4 Patrick Bertoletti snatched the crown from Joey Chestnut at last year's hot dog eating contest. Paul Martinka Advertisement Frankly, he said, he could even beat his past hot dog record. 'That's possible, it's possible,' Chestnut said of shattering his own record of 76 dogs in 10 minutes. 'Things have to be perfect, you know.' 'I am hoping to find a really, really ridiculous rhythm tomorrow…and just keep going.' Bertoletti, who won the contest last year by wolfing down 58 dogs, said he's happy Chestnut is back. Advertisement 'It's extra motivation. It didn't feel right last year with him not being there,' said Bertoletti, who weighed in at 230 pounds, and is 6 foot 2 inches tall. 'You wouldn't want to bet against me or Joey.' 4 Chestnut set the contest's record for most hot dogs ever eaten at 76. Paul Martinka Ultimately, the weight of competitive eaters isn't directly linked to success — rendering the weigh-in largely ceremonial, an organizer said. Some experts, however, have theorized that thin competitors generally do better because people with more abdominal fat may have a reduced stomach expansion capacity. 4 Joey Chestnut has won Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest 16 times. Justin Hamel for the NY Post Chestnut set the contest's all-time record for most hot dogs eaten by scarfing down 76 in 10 minutes on Fourth of July 2021. This year's contest will be held at Nathan's Famous flagship restaurant on Surf and Stillwell avenues in Coney Island from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
