Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez Reignite Friendship with Heartfelt Collaboration New

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez Reignite Friendship with Heartfelt Collaboration

Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez, once again, make the perfect team. “We’ve been friends since we were 7 years old when we met on Barney [& Friends]. There have been different chapters throughout our lives,” Lovato, 34, told Elle in an interview published Wednesday, October 28. “Naturally, friends are in each other’s lives heavily at times, and then sometimes you’re not in constant communication.” Lovato and Gomez, 34, connected during their respective childhood auditions on Barney & Friends. They eventually landed their own sitcoms on Disney Channel and teamed up for 2009’s Princess Protection Program. As the two women grew up, their paths diverged. “Selena is someone that I’ve always loved and adored,” the “Skyscraper” singer told Elle of the duo’s reconciliation after Gomez attended Lovato’s April concert during her It’s Not That Deep Tour in Florida. “It’s really great to be in a place today where we can collaborate on things, but also just hang out and spend time together.” In addition to catching up, Gomez enlisted Lovato for a limited edition Rare Beauty collaboration as part of the brand’s “Still Making Each Other Blush” campaign. (The Only Murders in the Building star launched her beauty brand in 2019.) “Once a Princess, always a Princess ����Best friends don’t just have each other’s backs,” Gomez wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, referring the lyrics from their “One and the Same” duet from Princess Protection Program. “They make them blush too. The Delena: Soft Pinch Blush Bundle is out now at rarebeauty.com. Includes Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in Hope + Virtue and a free blush brush.” In preparation for her Rare Beauty debut, Lovato took a trip down memory lane of the pals’ bond. “I went on YouTube recently and looked at our vlogs together,” she admitted to Elle. “I think that was something that really captured our innocence at the time and our drive to have a presence in front of people while still staying true to ourselves. It was really cute going down memory lane, and I showed my husband, [Jordan Lutes].” Lovato added, “I couldn’t stick around for the whole video because I felt so cringe. But they were iconic. I was like, ‘OK, you can watch 10 seconds of this.’ I don’t know what I’m doing [in them], but it was really funny and really cute.” Elsewhere in her Elle profile, Lovato praised Gomez for her candor about her mental health struggles. “I really commend Selena for being open about her journey as well,” Lovato said of Gomez, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in 2020. “With everything that she’s dealt with, she’s such an advocate for mental health, and I think that’s so incredible.”

Mark Ballas Faces Mom Shirley's Tough DWTS Judging with Surprising Calm New

Mark Ballas Faces Mom Shirley's Tough DWTS Judging with Surprising Calm

Guest judge Shirley Ballas may have sparked fear in the hearts of some Dancing With the Stars contestants this week, but Mark Ballas was ready to face his mom's critiques. "I'm used to it," Mark, 40, told Us after Horror Movie Night on Tuesday, October 27, where he and partner Maura Higgins performed a nightmare-inducing contemporary routine inspired by The Lost Boys. Mark added, "I grew up in this world. She's been judging Strictly [Come Dancing], the U.K. version, for 10 years now and they're a little tougher over there. They just are. So I'm used to it." The pair — who were decked out in fangs and fake blood — earned a mix of scores from the judges, receiving a total of 32 out of 40 points. Shirley, 66, gave the lowest score on the panel, holding up a 7. She even brought out her iconic mini shoe to demonstrate how to pivot correctly on the foot. Mark told Us he wasn't nervous for what commentary his mom might have. "My mom has been my coach through, like, high level competitions back when I was younger," he explained. "All my nerves and energy is for Maura ... because it's not about me, it's about her." According to Higgins, the pair had "fun" joking about Shirley coming into the ballroom. "She's a tough judge," Mark acknowledged, while the Love Island UK alum called Shirley a "queen." Mark also pointed out that his mom "trained pretty much all" of the DWTS pros through the years. And even when she's not there in person, Shirley isn't afraid to give her son feedback. "There have been weeks — I've been doing the show for so long, I'll send my mom a routine to look at and if I got, like, a 9 or a 10, she'd be like, 'I'd give that a 6,'" he joked. "She just says it how it is for me. … It's just part of the deal." Throughout the night, fans saw Shirley reaching for lower-scoring paddles, handing out 4s after performances by Julia Stiles and Tatyana Ali. Higgins was last to dance on Tuesday, but she didn't feel as nervous as in other weeks. "I feel like every week my nerves get [a little] bit better," she told Us. "Even going last, I thought that was really gonna freak me out. It's not nice going last. But I was OK. The minute the song started, I loved it." With Disney Week on the horizon, Higgins admitted she's feeling the wear and tear on her body. "I feel really sore and tired. … Obviously, the competition is really hard, but every week, the show gets harder. And then because you're tired mentally and physically, then that's even a struggle because then you're working harder on top of that," she told Us. "I wish I had the energy I had on week one, like, I wish my body felt like that, but it just does get so hard. But I'm trying my best. I'm really, I'm really trying." Dancing With the Stars airs on ABC and Disney+ Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Jessa Duggar Stuns Fans With 7th Pregnancy Announcement New

Jessa Duggar Stuns Fans With 7th Pregnancy Announcement

19 Kids and Counting alum Jessa Duggar has announced that she is expanding her brood. “We have six kids and we’re actually expecting again. Six weeks pregnant with number 7,” Jessa, 33, said in a Tuesday, October 27, teaser for the following day’s “Unplanned Podcast” episode. The reality TV star appeared on the podcast with her husband, Ben Seewald, as co-host Matt Howard asked the couple, “Does anybody know this?” and his co-host and wife, Abby Howard, remarked in shock, “Stop.” Us has reached out to Jessa for comment. Jessa and Seewald, 31, who got married in 2014 when they were respectively 21 and 19, are already parents to sons Spurgeon, 10, Henry, 9, George, 2, and Eddie, 1, as well as daughters Ivy, 7, and Fern, 5. Eddie was welcomed into the world in August last year following a seven-and-a-half-hour labor. His safe arrival was shared via a series of YouTube videos posted at the time that included Jessa’s parents, Jim Bob Duggar and Michelle Duggar, meeting their new grandchild for the first time. In the podcast episode’s teaser, Seewald was asked whether he had been intimidated by conservative Christian Jim Bob, 61, as he courted one of his nine daughters. “I mean a little bit, but also, if he doesn’t like me then I’m still single,” Seewald recalled of his feelings at the time before Matt, 28, joked that there were “multiple other daughters” for him to chase. The joke drew laughter from everybody in the room. 19 Kids and Counting aired on TLC from 2008 to 2015, and followed the devout Independent Fundamentalist Baptist (IFB) family as Jim Bob and Michelle’s young children grew into teenagers and adulthood. While Jim Bob and Michelle, 60, remain tied to the religious congregation, many of their children’s families, including Jessa and Seewald’s, have shifted into more relaxed practices. As for recreating a clan of 19 children of her own, Jessa said in a May 2025 social media clip that she wasn’t planning on bringing that many children into the world. “I’m not going to have 19 kids, but honestly, my mom is my hero. I love her, I adore her [and] she is my role model in so many ways,” Jessa said at the time. “Her patience, her love, her gentleness [and] her kind speech. She is the golden example of a mother, in my opinion. So, when people say, ‘Do you want to be like your mother?’ I’m like, ‘Yes, please, Lord, help me.’”

Danny Masterson's Appeal Denied: What the Court's Decision Means New

Danny Masterson's Appeal Denied: What the Court's Decision Means

Danny Masterson is not getting out of prison anytime soon after an appeals court denied his attempt to overturn his 2023 conviction. Us can confirm on Tuesday, October 27, that a three-judge panel rejected each of Masterson’s arguments for an appeal. According to the 89-page ruling viewed by Us, the panel confirmed his 30 years to life prison sentence, after Masterson was initially found guilty of two counts of forcible rape, garnering two consecutive sentences of 15 years to life on each. Masterson was found guilty in spring 2023 of raping two women at his home in 2003. The jurors were unable to reach a verdict on the third count involving the That ‘70s Show alum’s former girlfriend, who alleged she was sexually assaulted by the actor in 2001. In Masterson’s appeal, his attorneys argued that the trial judge, Judge Charlaine Olmedo, was biased against Scientology, which the accused practices. The Ranch alum’s legal team claimed that Olmedo made a series of remarks during trial about the religion that allegedly affected his First Amendment rights. During the trial, Olmedo allowed a former Scientologist to testify as an expert on the church's beliefs and practices. The prosecution claimed that the victims, who were all part of the church but have since left, didn’t report the alleged attacks right away due to fear of retaliation for violating a Scientology rule about going to the police. The panel, however, found on Tuesday that the judge’s statements showed “no animus or departure from neutrality regarding Scientology.” “The jury in this case was not asked to determine the truth or falsity of Scientology doctrine or beliefs,” the appeals court wrote. “Admission of Scientology evidence for those purposes did not contravene the First Amendment.” Masterson’s lawyers also claimed his conviction should be reversed back on the 10-year statute of limitations period, which they claimed “barred defendant’s prosecution for forcible rape.” The appeals court denied the claim, stating that it was “inapplicable where, as here, forcible rape offenses were committed against more than one victim.” Additionally, Masterson’s legal team argued that the case be overturned due to evidentiary rulings, claiming their client’s request for judicial notice of code of civil procedure “violated his federal and state constitutional rights to confrontation and due process,” per the filing. Once again, the judges denied Masterson’s request, ruling that it was not a violation of “his federal or state constitutional rights to confrontation and due process.” The appeals court argued that the trial court’s decision to exclude certain evidence concerning the possible effect on the victims’ pending civil action “did not preclude defendant from presenting evidence of the victims’ possible financial motives as a basis for challenging their credibility.” Furthermore, the panel denied a separate habeas corpus petition that claimed Masterson didn’t get an adequate defense. The actor’s appellate attorneys, Cliff Gardner and Eric Multhaup, revealed on Tuesday that they will appeal his case to the California Supreme Court and continue pursuing a separate habeas petition. “The appellate court's decision to deny this appeal and deny the habeas corpus petition ignores the extraordinary new evidence that has been before them for more than a year. That evidence includes statements by both complaining witnesses that their sexual experiences with Danny Masterson were both consensual and positive," Gardner said in a statement obtained by Us. "Danny is serving a life sentence for crimes he did not commit. No one in California — not defendants and not victims who have actually been the victim of a sex crime — is safer by virtue of today's unfortunate decision.” Multhaup, meanwhile, called the denial of the appeal and the habeas corpus petition "fundamentally wrong." "The habeas petition contains striking evidence of innocence that was never presented to the jury. For example, long before she claimed forcible rape, one of the complaining witnesses confided in two of her closest friends that her sexual experience with Danny Masterson was her ‘best sex ever.’ Now, years later, she has accused him of forcible rape and is suing him for damages," the attorney alleged in a statement on Tuesday. "The other complaining witness — again long before she made any claim of forcible rape — had a catch-up conversation with a longtime friend who had also had sex with Danny Masterson, and they compared notes about their respective experiences in a light-hearted and favorable manner. Years later, she too accused him of forcible rape and has joined the civil lawsuit suing him for damages. None of this evidence was presented to the jury. None of it." Multhaup added: "The Court of Appeal did not address any of the exculpatory evidence that was contained in the habeas corpus petition, and instead justified the denial with a one-paragraph summary of the one-sided evidence presented by the prosecution. This cursory treatment reflects poorly on the administration of justice in the Court of Appeal, and will be rectified by a petition to the California Supreme Court.” If you or someone you know has been sexually assaulted, contact the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 1-800-656-HOPE (4673).

How Julia Benville's Bold Moves are Redefining the WAG Game New

How Julia Benville's Bold Moves are Redefining the WAG Game

Scoring a 22-carat championship ring, à la the 2026 New York Knicks, is no easy feat. But scoring a custom blinged-out engagement ring from a professional basketball player is no sweat for WAGs — wives and girlfriends of NBA, NFL and other big league athletes — with game, like Julia Benville, 29.The gutsy Manhattan med student, engaged to Josh Sharma, 30, a 7-foot hunk playing pro ball in Greece, is schooling single women on how to land a hotshot — while swatting away the dreaded “gold digger” label.“Just figure out leagues, look up names and team roster pictures, follow [a player] on social media, send him a message and go from there,” Benville encouraged to The Post. “Don’t wait around hoping the world is going to magically give you the man of your dreams. Go after him.”It’s advice Benville took to heart. She slid a flirty message into Sharma’s DMs in September 2020, though she declined to reveal the details of her digital overture to The Post.Benville slid into fiance Josh Sharma’s Instagram DM’s with a direct approach that ultimately earned her the enviable “WAG” tag. Courtesy Julia Benville“You can meet any athlete on Instagram,” said the MD-PhD candidate. “You gotta be bold. I’m just that type of girl. I’m brave and really straightforward. I saw him, wanted him, went for it and got him. Josh always says my bold approach was really attractive.”She recently alley-ooped similar advice to her more than 71,000 online followers with a cutesy tutorial titled “How to Become a WAG.” The post drew heaps of praise from single women hailing Benville as a “queen” for her heroic how-to.The enthusiastic response suggests Benville has tapped into a fantasy for women fed up with today’s dating scene: landing a pro jock.In today’s dismal dating world, becoming a WAG has emerged as a coveted status symbol, promising single women the prospect of romance, financial security and a luxe lifestyle.Taylor Swift put the “W” in her WAG status this summer, becoming the wife of Kansas City Chiefs baller Travis Kelce. Getty ImagesFrom Taylor Swift and Jordyn Woods to Olivia Culpo and Grammy winner Ciara, these VIP voluptuaries embody the fantasy of scoring big in love and gaining entry into an elite world of wealth, luxury and A-list access.And while love may be priceless, a multimillion-dollar salary certainly doesn’t hurt. Pro athletes in the US can command eight-figure salaries each season, with the likes of Stephen Curry, husband of skincare influencer Ayesha, making over $62 million a year, and Karl-Anthony Towns, newlywed to Woods, more than $57 million, according to ESPN.Ballers playing overseas, notably in Europe and Asia, can earn multimillion-dollar contracts, too.  WAG Ciara and her football MVP hubby Russell Wilson recently announced the impending arrival of their fifth child. ciara/InstagramThe aspiring doctor’s how-to tips coincide with the 2026-2027 NBA season tip-off last week, during which the Knicks suffered a 106 to 100 loss against the Philadelphia 76ers, led by LeBron James. The rival cities are set for another head-to-head this Friday.In Benville’s case, a bold social media move sparked a romance that would span continents — and lead to a closet full of Chanel necklaces, Chloe bags and Jimmy Choo shoes. (“He knows my wishlist at all times and has no problem treating me to nice things,” she said)Woods and Towns swapped I Do’s in August, following the NBA champ’s historic win. Jordyn Woods/ InstagramThe 29-year-old’s flirty DM sparked an exchange of numbers, endless texts and WhatsApp video calls before she proposed he take her on a holiday getaway for their first date in 2020.The pair finally met at a Charleston, South Carolina, airport, laying the foundation for their love story — one that ultimately scored Benville a “large and in charge” elongated oval rock from famed private jeweler Calista West this past summer — the twosome plan to tie the knot in summer 2028.Benville says Sharma invests and saves his money wisely, but still lavishes her with dazzling gifts and trips. Alison Su PhotographyThough their demanding schedules make it tough to connect in person and virtually, Benville told The Post that Sharma makes up for lost time with lavish gifts.“My fiancé has been blessed financially, and he’s very generous with me,” Benville gushed, insisting that neither she nor her WAG friends are with athletes for their money or prestige — though those perks certainly don’t hurt.“A lot of people think WAGs are bimbos who just want to be with athletes for the lifestyle. But that couldn’t be further from the truth,” said the scholar, a friend to fellow working WAGs in science, sports management, nursing, journalism and entrepreneurship. Sharma popped the question to Benville after six years of long-distance dating. Samantha M PhotoBenville even plans to become her family’s sole breadwinner once Sharma retires, allowing him to live out his dream of being a stay-at-home husband — cooking, cleaning and caring for their future kiddos, after years of bringing home the bacon. The soon-to-be bride has her post-retirement game plan down pat. But when it comes to landing a baller, other aspiring WAGs are running plays of their own, detailing their lavish lifestyles and offering similar advice on how they met their pro-athlete partners across Instagram and TikTok.Some bagged their guys by scouting training facilities at NCAA Division 1 schools, zeroing in on collegiate-level champs before they entered the pro draft. Others elbowed their way into private membership clubs, such as New York’s Zero Bond and Casa Cipriani, or elite eateries like Royal 35 Steakhouse, Pergola and Catch, fetching their fellas over cocktails and prime cuts. The working WAG got a custom diamond engagement ring designed by famed private jeweler, Calista West. Samantha M PhotoBut whether the courtship begins in person or online, the ostensibly glamorous life of a WAG isn’t all riches and rosé.It’s an unpredictable life that can easily be fouled up by any number of pitfalls, including cheating scandals, bankrupting love scams and devastating team cuts. Then, of course, there’s the constant threat of being deemed a gold digger — opportunists on the prowl for loot rather than love.The aspiring doctor tells The Post that WAGs often get a bum rap for being romantically linked to famous men with money, but says she and her gal pals quashing the misconception. Courtesy Julia BenvilleBut Paige Osorio, a relationship coach and matchmaker for over a decade, who specializes in helping everyday women win the hearts of high-value, high-income men, told The Post that wanting a guy with gold isn’t necessarily a character flaw.  “Having financial standards in dating does not make a woman a gold digger,” she insisted. “There’s nothing wrong with wanting financial stability in a relationship.”The expert says lassoing a moneyed dude is a cinch — as long as you don’t overthink it. “You don’t need a special pickup line for a wealthy man. Coming with some cheesy, disingenuous approach is usually a turnoff,” said Osorio, who landed her affluent hubby, a dentist making over five figures per month, via Instagram DMs.Although Osorio isn’t a WAG, the relationship pro says getting any wealthy man’s attention is as easy as sparking up a meaningful conversation. Alexa DilaVega (@alexadilavega/Instagram)For folks who prefer making IRL introductions, Osorio suggests meeting tycoons at charity galas, college alumni events, upscale hotel bars, airport lounges and private soirées. Regardless of the setting, the love pro says authenticity is key. “These guys have women throwing themselves at them all the time, fawning over their money or celebrity status,” she urged. “So it’s best to set yourself apart by noticing something that’s unique to them.”Osorio’s helped women meet and marry high-earning men for over a decade. Courtesy Paige OsorioBut Osorio warns WAGs hopefuls, “Money doesn’t automatically make a man a good husband.”“Finances are important,” she continued. “But being morally, emotionally and spiritually aligned are essential, too.”Calli Joy Novak, a newly engaged WAG who also met her athlete fiancé Joshua O’Garro, 25, via Instagram DMs, agrees. The 29-year-old brand marketing specialist, based in lower Manhattan, told The Post O’Garro’s position as a guard for the London Lions in the UK is only one — albeit the most lucrative — aspect of their relationship.While Novak concedes that the WAG lifestyle comes with tons of posh perks, women who love athletes must also make a number of major sacrifices for the relationship. Courtesy Calli Joy Novak“We have so much in common, from our faith to our family values and love of sports,” said Novak, whose father is a former Jacksonville Jaguars footballer.“We’re both super driven for success, and we’re both earning a living. I have a great job in corporate America, I make my own money,” she continued. “My dad taught me to always consider myself the prize in relationships, no matter how much money or celebrity a man brings to the table.”Sadly, Novak’s high self-worth hasn’t gone over well online. Virtual trolls viciously slammed the New Yorker in a recent vid for cheekily declaring herself an “upgrade” from O’Garro’s past flings — and joking that she’s only with him for his impressive income.Her ill-received post unleashed a torrent of vitriol, with detractors branding her a money-grubber and cursing their upcoming marriage to fail.Novak says the hits from WAG-hating social media savages have neither dimmed her light nor diminished her love for O’Garro. Avigail RamirezBut Novak said scathing shade doesn’t overshadow her commitment to being an amazing wife to O’Garro and a game-changing WAG in the cruel, hypercritical world.  “The term ‘gold digger’ doesn’t resonate with me, and I hope to help change that narrative,” said Novak. “Our relationship is based on love, not money.”“Women with athletes are still able to live in their purposes, start businesses and families, and follow their own dreams,” she asserted. “Being a WAG is great, but there is more to this life than just marrying rich.”

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's Inspiring Journey to Sobriety Captures Attention New

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro's Inspiring Journey to Sobriety Captures Attention

Jersey Shore's Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is celebrating his improved health after deciding to avoid drugs and alcohol. “I was able to try a medicine that freed me from the struggle and the fight. I went to @beond.us (this isn’t a sales pitch). I can say it saved my life and it gave me my joy and love for the world back,” Ronnie, 40, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, October 27. “It’s been 4 months. I haven’t had to take any depression meds, anxiety, bipolar and touched a drink or drug. Never too late to start over �� My journey starts now!” Beond provides medically supervised ibogaine treatment for people living with PTSD, depression, anxiety and chemical dependency, with physician oversight, continuous cardiac monitoring and structured preparation and aftercare according to its website. After Ronnie shared his story, the company reposted his Instagram and wrote, “It was an honor to support him, and we’re cheering him on as his journey continues.” Ronnie, who shares daughter Ariana Sky Magro, 8, with ex-girlfriend Jen Harley, has been open about his struggles with mental health and addiction over the years. At the beginning of the year, the reality star said he was at “one of the lowest points of my life.” “My mental health and my addiction brought me to such a dark place it had me questioning whether this life is worth it,” he revealed. “I’ve always struggled with both but never at the same time. I felt something inside of me turn off. I stopped caring about the things that were most important to me. I started to resent this beautiful life I was given.” In his latest social media post, Ronnie posted pictures as a reminder “of a person and place I never want to be again.” “Hopeless, resentful, not present. The smiles were fake. The, ‘Yes I’m doing good’ were fake. I lost all enjoyment in things in my life,” he said. “I stayed in this for months. Knowing I was destroying everything I built and hurting the people I love.” After praying every day for the strength to “take my life back,” Ronnie said he is feeling so much better both mentally and physically. “Thank you all for the love and support from everyone,” he wrote.

Chris Harrison's New Show 'The Vow' Sparks Drama with 'The Bachelor'

Chris Harrison's New Show 'The Vow' Sparks Drama with 'The Bachelor'

Former Bachelor host Chris Harrison publicly responded to the ABC dating show sending a cease-and-desist letter over his new series The Vow. “Sounds like somebody misses somebody really bad,” Harrison, 55, told Entertainment Tonight on Monday, October 26. “Jealousy's a tough thing. Green's not a great color on anybody, is it?” The reality TV personality also responded to critics who said The Vow feels like a “knockoff” of The Bachelor. “You know, they haven't seen it yet, and I would just urge people to watch and then judge, and judge for yourself on the quality and the authenticity and the intention of the show,” he said. The Vow, hosted and cocreated by Harrison with his wife, Lauren Zima, is a dating show in which 10 women vie for the heart of bachelor Jace Cates. Though the concept sounds similar to the Bachelor franchise, Harrison told ET that The Vow has more of a focus on faith and long-lasting connections. “Lauren and I were talking about what we were going to do, and the more we saw this kind of reemergence and this renaissance of young people going to church, seeking faith, seeking kind of foundation in their lives, we thought this is an interesting kind of niche to dive into, and more and more, we kind of cultivated this idea and thought, ‘Can you find love in this modern world?’” he explained. Harrison continued, “What if we raise the bar and raise the stakes and made it as authentic and intentional as you possibly could, and try and take away every hurdle that would get in their way?” Harrison said they intentionally chose not to have “elimination ceremonies” and “trinkets that are given out throughout” the series. “If and when you see a relationship is not heading in the right direction or not happening, then you break up and you do it face-to-face, like real people do and real people should,” he added. “The lengths we went to cast this show, the people that are on it and what we're going for, I think will be very different, very telling when everybody sees it. And I can't wait for everybody to see it.” Shortly after The Vow was announced in September, multiple outlets reported that WBTV, which produces The Bachelor, issued a cease-and-desist letter to Fox Nation, accusing The Vow of copying its dating show. In the letter, WBTV claimed that promos for The Vow show “a plain attempt to capitalize on and ‘ride on the coattails’ of WB’s instantly recognizable intellectual property and the Franchise’s goodwill in violation of, inter alia, state and federal trademark, copyright, and unfair competition laws. Without having seen the Series itself, we cannot comment on it and reserve all rights in connection therewith. To be clear, though, we have no objection to Fox and Lionsgate releasing a dating show hosted by Chris Harrison in and of itself. But thus far, Fox and Lionsgate have promoted the Series entirely on the back of the Franchise, not on its own merits.” The letter specifically cited the use of roses in the promo, claiming that the flower is a known marker of the Bachelor franchise, as well as a mansion that seemingly bears a resemblance to the famous “Bachelor Mansion.” Fox Nation denied attempts to replicate The Bachelor, arguing that the show does not own the rights to use roses as a motif, nor does it own the rights to the term “the bachelor” when referring to an unmarried man. “Your letter also focuses myopically on certain stills from the trailer, while omitting that its clear purpose is to convey that The Vow ‘offers a different approach’ from other dating shows ‘by placing the focus on meaningful relationships, commitment and building a life together,’” Katherine Moran Meeks, Fox News Media’s executive vice president and general counsel, wrote in the network’s response. The Vow premieres on Fox Nation on November 11.
