Will Ilona Maher be the next Bachelorette?
Word has it that the Taylor Frankie Paul season of The Bachelorette will air this summer, albeit not with the show’s usual rollout.
Producers and fans alike are on the hunt for the next leading lady. It’s probably safe to say that they’re going to want to be careful with casting.
A widely liked athlete could be a stellar pick. And Maher, close friends with a familiar face in the Bachelor Fam, is open to it.
‘I’ve consulted with the team’
Speaking to OK! Magazine, Maher shared that she hasn’t ruled out being the lead on The Bachelorette.
That said, she wouldn’t go in blindly or without certain conditions. That’s smart!
“I’ve consulted with the team,” Maher confirmed.
“And,” she teased, “I’ve consulted with Joey Graziadei.”
She met the Bachelor Nation fan-favorite on Dancing With The Stars Season 33, and the two went on to forge a close friendship.
Maher shared that Graziadei looks out for her — and that she trusts him.
“There are a lot of things that would have to change for me to be the Bachelorette,” she revealed.
“Joey would have to executive produce,” Maher began her (admittedly short) list.
She added: “All of my friends would have to be involved.”
Past seasons have seen friends of the leading lady show up to keep an eye on the suitors during first impressions. It is unclear if that is the format that she envisions.
‘I would do it for you guys to watch’
To be clear, Maher didn’t come up with the idea of taking on the lead role on The Bachelorette.
Fans — the Bachelor Nation — have been floating the idea organically on social media.
Maher has a reputation for her authenticity.
She is also a professional athlete with an athletic build, which would help break the mold of Bachelorettes with a very specific body type.
With all of the The Bachelorette drama that went down on a corporate level with this latest, yet-to-be-seen season, fans hope that Maher would be a refreshing leading lady.
“I love my girls, and they want me to find love so bad,” Maher said of her fans, who have been cheering her on.
“I would do it for your guys to watch,” she admitted. “That’s the only reason.”
Maher continued: “I don’t even know if I’d find love, but it would be funny to watch me. I’m not fully ruling it out.”
However, at the moment, she has other — and frankly more important — priorities.
Her focus is on training ahead of the 2028 Olympics.

As we previously reported, actors Jason Biggs and Jenny Mollen have called it quits after 18 years of marriage.
When a couple goes their separate ways after such a long relationship, there are bound to be questions about what caused the split.
In the case of Jason and Jenny, it seems that there was no abuse or infidelity.
And one insider claims that the culprit was none other than Jason’s recent weight loss.
Yes, Jason recently dropped more than 40 pounds, and a source says Biggs’ new figure led to changes in his marriage.
“Jason definitely has changed since his weight loss transformation. He lost a lot of weight and it definitely helped boost his ego,” the insider tells the Daily Mail.
“I don’t think he was wanting to lose that much weight but it happened and he’s proud of the results like anyone who lost 40 pounds or more would be.”
Biggs maintains that he lost the weight due to concern over “cholesterol issues.”
But we’re sure he appreciated the bonus of a chiseled new physique.
The source says the change in Jason’s BMI was not the only shakeup that may have led to trouble in his marriage.
“He had his first big directorial debut [‘Untitled Home Invasion Romance’] last year, and that was a really stressful time for him,” the source explained, adding:
“Trying to remain in the spotlight and continue to put out projects that are just as entertaining as what he was known for previously can be a difficult task.”
Jenny is an accomplished actress and author in her own right, with a pair of bestselling novels to her credit.
And many celebs have discussed the difficulties that can arise from having two creative people in the same marriage.
But this source maintains that it was Biggs’ weight loss that ultimately served as the nail in this relationship’s coffin.
Maybe he experienced a sort of post-weight-loss crisis and decided that he wanted to play the field with his new body. Or perhaps the lifestyle changes that helped Jason lose the weight didn’t align with Jenny’s way of living.
Whatever the case, with the popularity of Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs, America might be on the verge of a massive divorce boom!

Khloé Kardashian is no expert on missing persons cases, criminal investigations, or general sleuthing.
She will also tell you herself that she doesn’t “know enough” about the tragic case of Nancy Guthrie.
Unfortunately, none of this stopped Khloé from weighing in — and spreading conspiracy theories about a very real family.
Commenters are furious. And they’re right to be.
‘I mean, is that not heartbreaking?’
On the May 13 episode of her Khloé in Wonder Land podcast, the eponymous host spoke with Ashley Flowers — host of the Crime Junkie podcast.
The two delved into multiple topics. About six and a half minutes in, they brought up the tragic case of Nancy Guthrie.
“Nancy Guthrie,” Khloé lamented. “I mean, is that not heartbreaking?”
It is. Nancy has been missing for over 100 days, and many believe that she passed away shortly after her kidnapping.
“I’m just like … this is 2026,” Khloé highlighted, her tone full of disbelief. “There is nothing? … It’s mind-blowing.”
This is when Ashley admitted that she is “very conspiratorial.”
As we know, Khloé is a sucker for conspiracy theories, and she told her guest: “Me too.”
To her credit, she did admit that she doesn’t pretend to be an expert on the facts.
“I don’t know if I know enough about this case,” Khloé confessed.
To her discredit, Khloé continued: “But, like, all the things I was reading about the brother-in-law and that kind of stuff, I’m like, oof.”
‘They’re not telling us’
With that remark, Khloé made the rest of us “like, oof” right along with her — but for different reasons.
“The ransom notes going to all the media outlets first?” she commented. “How weird was that?”
Khloé commented: “It’s so much.”
Like many, she also struggles with how little evidence investigators appear to have uncovered.
“And I just, I can’t understand that, in 2026, there’s not … I don’t believe that there’s not one piece of information … They’re not telling us,” Khloé suggested.
While it is almost always true that investigators withhold certain details of a criminal investigation, including evidence, from the public, this is … normal? It is also good.
The unknown perpetrators of a crime are also part of the general public. The more that they know about the investigation, the more equipped they might be to avoid suspicion or evade detection.
However, the larger issue with Khloé running her mouth like this is that she and Ashley Flowers are not, despite appearances, just two gals sitting and chatting. This is a podcast. She is a major influencer.
Spreading — however indirectly — conspiracy theories about a family that is actively suffering is unconscionable. Savannah Guthrie has already condemned the chatter about her family, noting that it makes their suffering worse.
This is irresponsible of Khloé. But, coming from the woman who admitted to being at fault for Kim Kardashian’s moon landing nonsense, it is sadly no surprise.
She could employ more critical thinking. Or, at the very least, she could be responsible enough to not spread malicious garbage — even by implication — to make things worse, not better.

As you’re probably aware, King Charles and Queen Camilla visited the US last week.
The royal couple met with Donald and Melania Trump, and Charles even delivered a speech to Congress.
We may never know exactly what the president and the king talked about behind closed doors, but according to one report, Charles and Donald dedicated some time to discussing the Prince Harry problem.
“The king and the president have become good friends at this point and routinely share private conversations about matters that are close to their hearts,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“This trip provided them with the opportunity to do just that about a number of matters, including Charles’ difficult situation with Harry,” the insider continued, adding:
“They talked about it, agreeing it’s the elephant in the room that needs to be addressed before things slide any further out of hand. Charles laid it all on the table.”
And what exactly did Charles lay on the table? Well, according to Radar, the possibility of having Harry deported from the US was discussed at one point.
“If he were to be deported… it would actually be the ideal situation from the royals’ point of view,” said the source.
“If it happens this way nobody, even Prince William, can argue because it’s a solution that’s been forced on the family. Plus, if it gets Harry away from Meghan, that’s the ultimate win.”
The source claims that Prince William and Kate Middleton prefer having Harry and Meghan Markle overseas. And apparently, that’s one of the reasons Charles is a fan of the deportation option — that way, Wiliam can’t object!
Trump has bashed Harry and Meghan on numerous occasions, and he’s publicly discussed the possibility of deporting them at least twice.
“Harry is whipped like no person I think I’ve ever seen,” Trump once told Piers Morgan in an interview, adding:
“I’m not a fan of Meghan, I’m not a fan, and I wasn’t right from the beginning. I think poor Harry is being led around by his nose.”
Trump then predicted that the marriage would “end, and it’ll end bad,” adding:
“I wonder if Harry’s going to go back on his hands and knees.”
When he was most recently asked about the likelihood of deporting the Duke of Sussex, Tump demurred, saying:
“I don’t want to do that. I’ll leave him alone. He’s got enough problems with his wife. She’s terrible.”
Of course, he might have made those remarks in order to curry good favor with the royals. If Charles is actually pro-deportation, that might change everything.

Sydney Sweeney’s love life and professional life have both been taking off.
Just one month ago, she went Instagram official with Scooter Braun.
All eyes are on her every Euphoria Sunday as Season 3 continues to court controversy.
Are these “spicy,” NSFW scenes on screen driving a wedge into her real-life romance?
How does he feel about her ‘Euphoria’ scenes?
A new report from Page Six offers to shed light about how Scooter Braun feels about his girlfriend’s spicier scenes on Euphoria.
Season 3 of the HBO drama — no longer a “teen drama” after a real-life filming hiatus and an in-universe time skip — has doubled down upon Sydney Sweeney’s nude and sexually charged scenes.
“Scooter has absolutely no issue with Sydney’s more provocative scenes in ‘Euphoria,’” an insider reported.
The source continued: “or any of the work she does as an actress.”
According to the insider: “He fully understands that it’s part of her job and respects how dedicated she is to her craft.”
“Their relationship is very secure,” reported the source.
“And,” the insider affirmed, “there’s a strong level of trust between them.”
The insider characterized: “Scooter isn’t the type to feel threatened by her work or try to control what roles she takes on.”
According to the source: “He’s incredibly supportive of her career and proud of everything she’s accomplished.”
Despite substantial — albeit partially manufactured — controversy in 2025, her career has soared to new heights.
Sydney Sweeney and controversial music mogul Scooter Braun went ‘Instagram Official’ this week.

How is the relationship overall?
According to this same inside source, Sweeney and Braun are still going strong.
“They’re both very happy together,” the insider characterized.
“And,” the source assessed, “things between them have been going really well.”
There was considerable backlash when word of their entanglement first came out last year.
Sweeney had, as we mentioned, a series of controversies — or, arguably, one controversy that she did not handle in a reassuring way, ignoring for too long. Braun is already a controversial figure.

Sydney Sweeney has been portraying Cassie Howard on Euphoria since the series premiered in 2019.
The role has involved dramatic acting and more from the start. A disproportionate focus has fallen upon her nude scenes, however.
Arguably, Euphoria has doubled down on courting controversy and attempting to “shock” viewers with kinks, suggestive content, and slurs on Season 3. Some suggest that it’s to keep the show relevant after such a lengthy hiatus.
There might be a lot of very valid criticism to level against Braun, but it’s good to hear that he’s not one of those weird men who dates a woman only to seek to sabotage her work and control her.
It may even be reassuring that the tone of Page Six‘s source sounds an awful lot like what a publicist for Braun might say. If he were unhappy and wanted it known, perhaps this report would sound very different.

It’s no secret that Pamela Anderson has been unlucky in love too often. Some men are creeps!
Now, rumors are picking up speed about Tom Cruise taking an interest.
They’ve been spotted in the same places. Allegedly, her comeback work has really caught his eye.
Is this really happening?
Her comeback projects have really impressed a lot of people
A source spoke to The Daily Mail about a rumored new romance for Pamela Anderson.
The 58-year-old actress is said to be “making room for love in her life.”
After “a few busy years in proving herself” by taking on new roles in the entertainment industry, the source said, she could be ready for a new and even serious new romance.
Anderson portrayed Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway.
Then, in 2024, her work in The Last Showgirl turned heads and got people’s attention. Including big names in the industry.
An interesting report from The National Enquirer alleged that 63-year-old Tom Cruise was among those who took notice.
He reportedly called Anderson to personally tell her how impressed he was by her comeback performance.
“The movie got people to see Pam in a very different light, including Tom,” the source claimed.
The insider then alleged: “They’ve been in touch ever since.”
Supposedly, there was “definitely a spark” between the two, and “people have noticed it and mentioned it to Tom.”
How long as this alleged entanglement been in the works?
Back in 2025, videos across social media, including TikTok, captured Anderson and Cruise departing the same hotel.
They didn’t leave together. Anderson instead left mere moments before Cruise did.
Truth be told, those concluding that they must have been staying and leaving for the same reason may be reading too much into it.
Had they wished to hook up and then be discreet about it, they could have left hours apart.
Ideally with Cruise departing first, as he has mobs of enthusiastic fans gathering wherever he goes.
Obviously, we here at THG cannot verify anything that insiders, real or imagined, may have claimed about Cruise and Anderson.
It of course makes sense for Anderson to be dating.
She is a beautiful woman and deserves more than staged for publicity faux romances with co-stars, even if her activism is all-over-the-place and sometimes baffling. (She’s definitely well-intentioned, but at times misses the mark.)
Anderson seems surprisingly age-appropriate for Cruise, given his history. She is also not a Scientologist, which would likely be a dealbreaker with Cruise in the long run.
Still, we’d love to hear about Anderson dating again — so long as her entanglement is with a good man. There are a lot of men in this world who make terrible boyfriends, and some of them are extremely famous.
