Stars' Children Who Love Or Hate Their Parents' Work
I would imagine that for celebrities, their kids would be super gung-ho about their work, but it seems no matter how world-famous, talented, or wealthy they might be, they're just as humbled when it comes to being a parent. For example, when asked if their children have ever seen their work, surprisingly, the answers weren't all a resounding yes. But I suppose I would have my reservations about seeing my parents on screen covered in blood or simulating sex, jumping off buildings, etc. Here are 19 takes of celebrity kids who have seen their parents' work and loved it, and those who refuse or remain unimpressed by it: Macaulay Culkin shared with E! News, that the young sons he shares with partner Brenda Song, Dakota and Carson, are fans of his father's iconic Home Alone movie. In fact, Dakota got so immersed that Macaulay said Dakota thought he was Kevin, the main character in the movie, the role Macaulay played. "I'm like, 'Do you remember going down the stairs on the sled?' He's like, 'Mmhmm, yep. Sure do.'" Jessica Simpson's kids are cheekily supportive and love looking up Newlyweds clips. "My kids love looking up the YouTube clips of Newlyweds or of anything that I've done. [They'll search,] 'Jessica Simpson embarrassing moments.' I'm like, 'Really guys?'" she told ET. "They love to do that." "We've gone on a YouTube Newlyweds binger and they really just love to see my parents super young and married and they love to see Ashley," Jessica said. "They definitely laugh at me. They just want to make fun of me, I think."

John Cena Gives A Blunt Answer About Running For President
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. John Cena has made it clear that he has no plans to run for president of the United States. He gave a definitive answer when asked about a potential political career. The topic has come up as Cena plays the president in his new movie, Heads Of State. The idea of wrestlers running for office has been floated before with stars like The Rock. John Cena On A Presidential Run In a new interview with On Demand Entertainment, Cena was asked about possibly running for president. He quickly ruled out the idea. His response was brief and to the point. When presented with the idea, Cena simply said, "Not a chance." This firm answer separates Cena from other performers who have flirted with the idea of a political future. While a handful of professional wrestlers have successfully transitioned into the world of politics, the path is not a common one. The most prominent success story is Jesse "The Body" Ventura, who was elected Governor of Minnesota in 1998, serving one full term.

Axelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic/Getty Images More news: WWE News: Steve Austin Reveals Real-Life Vince McMahon Confrontation More recently, Glenn "Kane" Jacobs has served as the Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, since his election in 2018, proving that a major wrestling character can hold public office. Others have tried, with former WWE CEO Linda McMahon making two expensive but unsuccessful runs for a U.S. Senate seat before serving as the Administrator of the Small Business Administration. While Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been the subject of serious polling and discussion for a potential presidential run, he has never officially entered a race. Cena stars alongside Idris Elba and Priyanka Chopra Jonas in the action-comedy Heads of State, which premiered on Amazon Prime Video on July 2, 2025. The film, directed by Nobody's Ilya Naishuller, features a plot reminiscent of classic buddy-action movies. Cena plays Will Derringer, a former action movie star who has become the President of the United States. He and the British Prime Minister, Sam Clarke (Elba), have a public rivalry but are forced to go on the run together after a conspiracy leaves them stranded and hunted. They must rely on each other and a brilliant MI6 agent (Chopra Jonas) to survive and unravel a plot that threatens the entire world. The movie blends high-octane action with the comedic chemistry between the two leads. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.

"Mormon Wives" Drama: Season 2's Explosive Moments
Season 2 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives was possibly even messier than the first season — and that's saying something. Ahead of the upcoming Season 2 reunion special airing on Hulu on July 1, here's a breakdown of aaaaall of the drama that went down... Taylor vs Dakota: Taylor is the star of the show, no matter how much certain other cast members try to deny it (more on that later). Taylor created #MomTok, Taylor created the biggest drama out of it — the "swinging scandal" — and Taylor continues to be open about personal moments and low-points in a way that drives the central plot of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. In Season 2, Taylor confronts her on-again off-again boyfriend (and baby daddy) Dakota over allegations he cheated on her. Taylor even meets up with the other woman and does a forensic search through her phone to compare their message history and timelines. It's pretty iconic. Despite separating from Dakota, the two continue to hook up, which is just messy. Taylor's family mostly sides with Dakota and stages a horrifying semi-intervention at what's supposed to be a family barbecue, which includes Taylor's stepfather basically slut-shaming her while her brother and mom seriously pressure her to just take Dakota back, while Dakota and THEIR CHILD are also sitting at the table. Dakota ends up giving Taylor an ultimatum — either commit or stop hooking up altogether and just be platonic co-parents. Taylor seemingly decides to end things after that — but who knows if that will stick. Honestly, it was hard to watch. And people online agree. The entrance of Miranda (and Chase) The biggest scandal in #MomTok history was the "swinging scandal" – in which Taylor, during a TikTok livestream, revealed that she and her then husband and several other Momtok couples had engaged in "soft swinging". She is still experiencing the repercussions of this reveal, but Season 1 saw her mostly skirting around it because no one else involved in the scandal was on the show. Cue Season 2 and Taylor's former BFF and fellow "soft swinger" Miranda has decided she wants in on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and back in Momtok. There's tension between her and Taylor at first, and the group as a whole is resistant to letting her in. Her appearance allows Taylor to go more in detail about what went down with the swinging — and although Miranda at first insists she was involved in no more than "kissing", she eventually concedes that Taylor's laundry list of sexual activities is accurate. But ultimately, there's way less drama between the two of them then might have been expected and they somewhat reconcile. But that doesn't mean there's no drama. Especially since Miranda's appearance also comes with her ex, and another member of the "soft swingers," Chase. It's a brief appearance, but it's memorable. He comes along to Jessi's messy-as-hell Halloween party with his new girlfriend and gets chatting to Dakota, who at this stage is still hooking up with Taylor. Taylor can tell that the two are clearly talking about her — and sees that Dakota is eating up whatever Chase is saying — and she confronts both of them. They have a massive screaming match, which leads to Chase's new girlfriend crying, which leads to Demi telling Chase to sort out his own relationship, which leads to Chase seemingly giving Demi a tap on the hip as he walks past and asking where her husband is, which leads to Demi telling her husband that Chase "laid hands on her", which leads to Demi's husband Bret running after Chase while half-naked (more on that in a sec) and almost coming to blows with him. Which leads to the cops showing up, and Jessi, whose house they're all at, asking if the cops have watched The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives because that's the only way to explain what the hell is going on. It's a lot. Before Chase departs, he delivers his most memorable line: "don't make fun of my podcast". Oh Chase. We will. Jen vs Demi and Jessi Demi and Jessi were the instigators of a loooot of drama this season. Their biggest beef initially is with Jen. After supporting Jen last season when her marriage blew up after she attended a Chippendales show with the other girls (while her husband allegedly gambled away his college money), Jen arranges for the pair to meet up with her husband, Zac, to reconcile as part of Zac proving that he's changed and that he wants to work on their marriage. Unfortunately, the meeting backfires when Demi and Jessi and Zac compare notes and, for some reason, Demi and Jessi immediately believe everything Zac says and come away angry at Jen for supposedly lying to them — including, hilariously, about over whether Zac's family is actually related to Ben Affleck. Demi and Jessi basically mount an anti-Jen campaign in the group and also decide to play a prank on Jen and Zac at Jessi's Halloween party. They invite a Chippendales dancer to perform and rope their husbands into dancing with him, targeting Jen. This causes more tension in Jen and Zac's relationship, as well as between Jen and the other girls. Jen insinuates Demi was unfaithful to her husband when the Momtok ladies appeared on Vanderpump Villa, someone anonymously claims Bret actually cheated on Demi, and another person (who turns out to be Layla) slips an anonymous confession to the group that they think Jen is fake. Amidst all this — and as she's seemingly gearing up to leave Zac — Jen finds out she's pregnant. Isolated and struggling, Jen's mental health spirals to the point where she actually stops filming the show. Only Whitney apparently is aware of how unwell she is, and Demi and Jessi continue to make catty comments about her, which is pretty awful, tbh. Demi vs Taylor (and Jessi) With Jen recovering from depression and off screen, Demi turns her petty sights on Taylor. Demi came away from Season 1 convinced she's a fan favorite and deserves top billing as much (or even more than) Taylor. But she picked the wrong person to tangle with, and ends up losing her main ally, Jessi, in the Taylor brings up on screen, Demi actually said she'd be willing to kick Jessi — her best friend — off the show if it meant she'd get more money, which leads to some tense conversations. But things really escalate when Taylor makes a TikTok complaining about the other Momtokkers after none of them comment on her social media post about attending the Country Music Awards (wow what a sentence to type out). The other women are upset about the public pettiness, and Taylor sends an apology to their group chat, which Demi refuses to accept. She starts ranting about Taylor and basically tries to stage a coup, rallying to kick Taylor out of Momtok. What Demi is in denial about is that Momtok is kind of nothing without Taylor. The others know better and side with Taylor, especially when Taylor once again brings up a time Demi betrayed her bestie Jessi, when she apparently told Taylor she didn't think Jessi's hair business was very good. This is one blow too many for Jessi, and she distances herself from Demi. The other women also seem to be over Demi and her drama. Layla even shows Taylor a group chat where the other women were bitching about Taylor, which adds fuel to the Demi all culminates with Demi claiming she'll leave Momtok if Taylor doesn't — and everyone else is basically like "okay, bye." The return of Whitney Whitney was the villain in Season 1 and wound up leaving Momtok, but she wants back in for Season 2. Of course, the others won't let her back in easily. Especially Mikayla, who really hates Whitney now. The two of them have a couple of confrontations, and there's a Mormon bake-off which gets ultra competitive as they both make sourdough — there's even a whole thing about whose starter it is. It's kind of fun to have a lighter feud in the mix, but for the most part, Whitney is on her best behaviour. It's actually kind of harsh to see her be rejected by the group multiple times. In the end, they decide to let her back in, which is ultimately a win for us all. Pregnancy and personal struggles While all the incredibly petty (and entertaining) fights are happening, there's actually some serious and legit issues happening in the lives of the Momtokkers. In addition to Jen's mental health struggle, both Taylor and Mikayla are shown seeing therapists. Mikayla opens up about experiencing sexual abuse as a child, and there's a brief but impactful sequence about her healing journey. Meanwhile, Mayci and Demi are both having fertility issues, and for some reason Layla (probably at the behest of the producers) instigates a game of "pregnancy test roulette" which winds up being really cruel. It turns out Mayci has had a successful IVF round and is secretly pregnant, and her bestie, Mikayla, is also pregnant, so there are two positive pregnancy tests — one of which Demi pulls out, instinctively reacting with joy until she remembers it's not her own test. It's a brutal scene — Demi may have been the villain of the season, but no one deserves such an awful "game". Whew! So much went down in Season 2, the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives reunion is sure to be juicy — make sure to catch it when it airs July 1 on Hulu.
