Season 23 of NCIS came to a dramatic and haunting conclusion earlier this year. The series ended on a cliffhanger for Wilmer Valderrama‘s character, Torres, and Patrick Keleher‘s Mateo as gunshots rang out without knowing who shot whom. The episode didn’t just leave viewers reeling — it left the cast shaken as well, and Wilmer even teased that a “major shakeup” is on the horizon for season 24.
“Look, every couple of years, you guys know NCIS has to make sure you’re watching. So, we shake up the TV a little bit, and we listen,” Wilmer told People in June 2026. “And we listen to where you as fans want to see us do. So, we always really pay attention to what our fans want to really experience on the show.”
The actor continued, “So, if you ask me to speculate, I think there’s a major, major shakeup happening and that episode one is going to bring both … I don’t want to get in trouble for this one. Let me get in trouble. How about this? Next season, there’s some major changes, and there are some major additions. What does that mean for Torres? I can only hope that he makes it out alive.”
Hollywood Life has the latest updates on the season 24 cast of NCIS.

At the time of publication, the core cast of NCIS is still expected to return for season 24. That includes Sean Murray as Special Agent Timothy McGee, Valderrama as Special Agent Nickolas “Nick” Torres, Gary Cole as NCIS Special Agent Alden Parker, Katrina Law as Special Agent Jessica Knight, Brian Dietzen as Dr. Jimmy Palmer, Diona Reasonover as Forensic Scientist Kasie Hines and Rocky Carroll as NCIS Director Leon Vance.
Season 24 of NCIS is expected to premiere in either September or October 2026 as part of CBS and Paramount’s fall TV schedule.
Valderrama did not confirm or deny whether he is leaving the long-running series. During his June 2026 People interview, the former That ’70s Show star hinted that the season 23 finale episode will spur a “major shakeup.” He also pointed out that even the creative team hasn’t figured out what happened to his character and Keleher’s yet.
“To be honest, I don’t think we figured that one out yet,” Valderrama admitted, before adding, “I don’t think we have an idea yet. I asked, ‘What do we want from it,’ but I will tell you that someone does get hit, and people might not like it.”

Andy Cohen appears to be spending time with a new man, who has been identified as Kevin Sobieski, a New York City-based businessman. The Watch What Happens Live host and his rumored boyfriend were spotted holding hands while walking outside of Via Carota in the Big Apple on Andy’s 58th birthday. Both were wearing classy suits as they walked hand in hand on June 2, 2026.
Although Andy hasn’t publicly talked about his romance with Kevin, new details about him have surfaced. After celebrity gossip account DeuxMoi shared photos of the pair’s recent NYC outing, an Instagram user claiming to have gone to high school with Kevin chimed in on the discussion.
“Kevin went to my HS (was friends with his older sister!). He is a GREAT guy, and Andy is super lucky to be with such a gem,” the commenter wrote.
Below, Hollywood Life has compiled everything we know so far about Kevin and his relationship with Andy.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Kevin is an accomplished businessman. He worked for the asset management firm TPG for just over two years. Previously, Kevin held jobs as a portfolio operating executive for MacAndrews & Forbes and a senior manager at Bain & Company.
Kevin is currently working in New York City, the financial capital of the world, per his LinkedIn.
Kevin is an educated man, having obtained his undergraduate degree in finance from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and an MBA from Harvard Business School.
Kevin and Andy have reportedly known each other for years. According to The Sun, they participated in a COVID-19 fundraiser in 2020 called Saturday Night Seder.
It’s still unclear how Andy met Kevin, though. They’ve kept the details of their relationship away from the public eye.
Kevin and Andy have an age gap of more than a decade. According to The Sun, Kevin is 42, and Andy is 58.
If Kevin and Andy are in an exclusive relationship, this would be the television host’s first in years. Previously, Andy dated epidemiologist Clifton Dassuncao from around 2016 until he confirmed their split in 2018. Before Clifton, Andy was in a relationship with John Hill in the early 2000s.

Move over cold plunges and IV drips, there’s a new luxury wellness obsession taking over Hollywood, and it’s all about oxygen.
From A-list celebrities and elite athletes to biohackers and longevity fanatics, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) has officially become one of the hottest wellness trends of the moment. And at the center of the movement? MD Hyperbaric, the rapidly growing wellness destination redefining how people think about recovery, aging, and peak performance.
The celebrity obsession with hyperbaric oxygen therapy has only fueled the craze even further. Wellness-forward stars like Justin Bieber, Kendall Jenner, and Madonna have all reportedly incorporated hyperbaric chambers into their health and recovery routines, while elite athletes including LeBron James, Tom Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, and Michael Phelps have publicly embraced HBOT as part of their longevity and performance regimens.
Kendall Jenner even showcased her personal hyperbaric chamber inside her now-famous “wellness room” on The Kardashians, helping catapult the treatment deeper into mainstream pop culture and luxury wellness circles. Justin Bieber has also openly discussed using hyperbaric therapy to support recovery, stress management, and overall wellness amid the demands of touring and public life.
For athletes, the appeal is obvious: faster recovery, reduced inflammation, improved sleep, and optimized performance. But in Hollywood, HBOT has evolved into something bigger, a status symbol in the booming longevity movement where feeling younger, sharper, and more energized has become the ultimate luxury.
Originally developed as a medical treatment for deep-sea divers and wound healing, hyperbaric oxygen therapy has evolved into the ultimate modern wellness flex. The treatment involves relaxing inside a pressurized chamber while breathing highly concentrated oxygen, a process believed to flood the body with oxygen at the cellular level, supporting recovery, inflammation reduction, cognitive clarity, and overall vitality.
Now, the therapy is exploding far beyond hospitals and clinical settings. Wellness insiders are calling HBOT “the future of longevity,” with luxury spas, elite performance centers, and celebrity wellness clinics rushing to add hyperbaric chambers to their offerings.
And honestly? The timing makes perfect sense.
In 2026, wellness culture has shifted from quick fixes to long-term optimization. Today’s consumers aren’t just chasing aesthetics, they want energy, mental sharpness, recovery, sleep quality, and healthier aging. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy taps directly into that mindset, which is exactly why MD Hyperbaric has become one of the buzziest names in the space.
“We are seeing a fundamental shift in how people think about their health,” says Dr. Jason Sonners, Chief Clinical Officer of MD Hyperbaric. “It is no longer just about living longer — it is about feeling better, performing better, and recovering faster. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) delivers on all three by saturating the body with oxygen at the cellular level, accelerating the body’s natural healing and recovery processes.”
That philosophy is fueling a major wellness boom nationwide. According to industry reports, longevity and biohacking treatments are rapidly becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in health and wellness, with hyperbaric oxygen therapy emerging as a standout favorite among high performers and wellness enthusiasts alike.
Celebrities and influencers have also helped push HBOT into the spotlight. Wellness-forward stars and athletes have openly embraced hyperbaric therapy as part of their recovery and anti-aging routines, helping transform what was once a niche medical treatment into a mainstream luxury experience.
But MD Hyperbaric isn’t just riding the trend, they’re helping define it.
The company has been expanding aggressively throughout New York City and now with over 19 locations nationally and with state-of-the-art facilities designed to bring medical-grade hyperbaric therapy into a sleek, elevated wellness environment. Unlike many trendy wellness pop-ups, MD Hyperbaric emphasizes science-backed protocols, personalized care, and professional oversight, creating a more sophisticated and trusted experience for clients seeking next-level recovery and longevity support.
And while the wellness world loves a flashy trend, HBOT’s growing popularity is also tied to a deeper cultural shift: the rise of preventative wellness.
Consumers today are investing heavily in treatments that promise to optimize how they age mentally, physically, and emotionally. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is increasingly being discussed alongside other high-end wellness staples like NAD+ therapy, red light therapy, peptides, and cryotherapy as part of the new luxury health movement dominating Hollywood and beyond.
Even luxury beauty and skincare spaces are now integrating hyperbaric therapy into anti-aging experiences, further cementing its status as the wellness world’s latest must-try treatment.
Of course, experts continue to stress the importance of seeking treatment through reputable providers with proper medical oversight and safety standards. But for many wellness enthusiasts, the appeal is undeniable: more energy, better recovery, sharper focus, improved sleep, and a proactive approach to aging well.
In a culture obsessed with optimization, MD Hyperbaric is quickly becoming the place where luxury wellness meets the future of longevity.
And judging by the hype? This oxygen-powered trend is only getting started.

What happens when you become the thing that you’ve spent years parodying?
Popular online creator, Sarothica, built her online identity by making fun of internet culture long before she became part of it herself.
On Twitch, she became known for comedic streams that parodied the platform’s growing wave of bikini and hot tub creators. The humor was exaggerated on purpose. She leaned into awkward characters, fake flirting, and over-the-top internet stereotypes that viewers instantly recognized.
One of her recurring jokes involved teasing a “bikini stream” for hours, only for the camera to reveal a floating bikini sitting alone in a bathtub. Another example were her “Sister Sara” streams, where viewers called in to confess exaggerated online “sins.”.
For audiences familiar with her rise as a Twitch parody streamer, the appeal was obvious. Sarothica understood internet culture because she had spent years studying how online audiences reacted to attention, performance, and controversy.
Before becoming known as a Twitch streamer-turned-adult creator, her content relied heavily on interaction and improvisation. She played the saxophone during streams, created characters, and treated livestreaming like live comedy unfolding in real time.
But behind the jokes was an exhausting schedule.
Live streaming rewards creators who stay online constantly. Visibility depends on consistency, audience engagement, and nonstop content across multiple platforms.
Sarothica has spoken openly about the burnout that followed. At one point, she streamed for up to 16 hours a day and rarely took time off.
For viewers curious about why streamers quit Twitch, her experience reflects a broader issue across creator culture. Many online personalities eventually realize the workload behind livestreaming never really stops.

Eventually, Sarothica stepped away from Twitch and shifted toward adult platforms under a new online identity. The move surprised many longtime viewers because her earlier content openly mocked parts of the same industry she later joined.
Some followers viewed the transition as ironic. Others saw it as a natural evolution of internet culture itself.
Over time, Sarothica came to appreciate the appeal of platforms that offered greater flexibility and creative control. The shift from Twitch to OnlyFans and similar adult platforms enabled her to work in different ways while still creating content focused on humor, personality, and audience interaction.
What separates her story from many online reinventions is that the performance aspect never disappeared. The same trolling, exaggerated humor, and self-awareness remained central to her brand.
Sarothica’s transition also reflects broader conversations about how creators make money outside of streaming. Many online personalities are seeking platforms that offer greater ownership over their time and content, rather than relying entirely on livestream schedules.
Her story stands out because she experienced both sides of internet culture firsthand. The creator who once built an audience through an Amouranth parody eventually became part of the same ecosystem she had once satirized.
“In the end, it’s all entertainment to me,” Sarothica says. “Yes, I do show more skin now, but it’s still creative work.”

Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke‘s split has remained one of the biggest storylines in the Summer House universe. The longtime couple announced their separation in January 2026 after four years of marriage, insisting that the decision was made amicably after “much reflection.”
Since then, Amanda has moved on with fellow cast member West Wilson, though their relationship has sparked plenty of drama of its own, with cast members questioning the timeline of their romance and allegations surfacing about West’s involvement with another woman around the time they began dating.
Despite their breakup, Amanda and Kyle have continued to show a united front publicly, even appearing together at the premiere of In the City in May 2026, a move that sparked discussion among fans. At the same time, both In the City and the Summer House Season 10 reunion have offered viewers a closer look at the cracks in their relationship, revealing new details about the challenges they faced before ultimately deciding to part ways.
Below, Hollywood Life breaks down everything we know so far about Amanda and Kyle’s separation.
Kyle and Amanda started dating in 2015, but things only grew serious in 2017, as they shared their relationship with fans of Summer House.
Kyle and Amanda initially said their separation came after “much reflection,” but they have since shared more details about the issues that led to the end of their marriage.
In their January 2026 breakup announcement, the former couple wrote, “After much reflection, we have mutually and amicably decided to part ways as a couple. We share this with a heavy heart and kindly ask for your grace and support while we focus on our personal growth and healing.”
AMANDA AND KYLE HAVE CALLED IT QUITS!!! #SummerHouse pic.twitter.com/0FnGjpROvB
— Queens of Bravo (@queensofbravo) January 19, 2026
Kyle and Amanda added, “It feels ironic to ask for privacy during this time since we’ve always tried to be open and honest about our relationship, but your kindness and respect will go a long way as we try to navigate our next chapter.”
Since then, Amanda and Kyle have discussed growing apart, communication struggles and ongoing frustrations that built up over the years. During the reunion, Amanda revealed that New Year’s Day 2026 became a turning point for her. While Kyle was DJing, Amanda spent the holiday alone and said the experience made her realize she no longer wanted that version of her future.
“The nail in the coffin was New Year’s Day for me… Kyle and I were bickering, whatever, I didn’t go to New Year’s with him. I spent it by myself, he spent it DJing at a restaurant, whatever. I woke up the next morning, I saw that he was at a hotel in Hoboken, [New Jersey],” she said. “I’m going into 2026 wanting to have a fresh start, and he’s doing the same s*** that he was doing that was pissing me off before.”
The former spouses also revealed that they did not have sex during their entire four-year marriage.
Yes, Kyle admittedly cheated on Amanda several times in the past, but they did not mention it in their separation announcement.
Previously, Kyle came clean about cheating on Amanda in 2017 and 2018, after they’d been together for three years.
No, Amanda and Kyle do not have children together, but they’ve discussed the topic in public. Throughout season 9 of Summer House, the duo seemed at odds over the potential of having kids. Kyle expressed concern over infertility, but Amanda was more reassuring, saying that not having children “wouldn’t be the end of the world.”
Despite the disagreement, Amanda clarified during the April 2025 Summer House reunion that she was “ready to have kids with someone who’s ready to have kids.” Kyle later said they would “struggle” to talk about this.
As if adding more fuel to the fire, Amanda admitted at the 2025 reunion that she had “one foot out” of her relationship with Kyle before their dynamic improved that year.

We just wanna see Sara Bareilles be brave, and she is! The singer-songwriter, 46, announced that she will return to touring after nearly a decade. Not only that, but Sara is releasing a documentary that follows her path to the Good Grief Tour as well as her new album. The doc premieres at the 2026 Tribeca Film Festival.
Sara confirmed in a June 3, 2026, Instagram post that she will go back on tour “after 7 long years and what feels like several lifetimes.”
“We are heading out on the GOOD GRIEF TOUR!” she wrote in her caption. “I am not the same person I was the last time I was on the road…so I am crafting this live experience to reflect that shift. I chose my favorite, intimate theaters, so I can see you and hear you and talk to you and dance with you and laugh with you. I want to tell you my story. The story of my grief, but also my joy and my great love and my hope and my friends… and we are designing a night that I hope you never forget.”
Sara continued in her caption, “Bring your most vulnerable selves, but I think you still have to put them in those see-through plastic baggie things because we don’t get to have nice things anymore.
In joining us, you will also be supporting some incredible mental health organizations that are saving lives every day. There is so much to carry these days. Let’s not do it alone. With all my love and gratitude.”
Below, Hollywood Life has the latest updates on Sara’s upcoming record, tour and documentary.
Sara will officially embark on her Good Grief Tour on September 9, 2026, in Boston! From there, she’ll stop in major cities like Washington, D.C., New York City, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Austin, Los Angeles and more.
The Good Grief album will be released on August 28, and Sara described it as a “love letter to the hardest chapter of [her] life.”
“I’m so grateful to every loving person who held the weight of this time with me, and for me, when I couldn’t hold it myself,” the Grammy Award winner wrote in an Instagram caption on June 3. “And to all of you… thank you for waiting. I am grateful for YOU. I am more of who I am meant to be because of this very tender, very soulful, very good grief.”
The documentary, also titled Good Grief, follows Sara as she records her first record since the COVID-19 pandemic.
“In what becomes a warm, triumphant return to the studio, Bareilles takes the lessons grief has taught her and transfigures them into breathtaking songs,” a description for the film, via Tribeca, reads.

California is facing a major shift. As Governor Gavin Newsom‘s term comes to an end this year, residents have cast their ballots in the 2026 primary election in the race for governor. Candidates have promised voters new policies to help the state’s affordability and housing crises, and it all seems to come down to Republican Steve Hilton and Democrat Xavier Becerra.
Throughout Becerra’s campaign, the Democrat vows to battle Donald Trump and his policies if elected governor.
“Californians know all about disasters, but Donald Trump is a man-made natural disaster attacking Californians every day,” Becerra alleges in his campaign promise. “As California’s Attorney General, Xavier Becerra sued the Trump Administration more than 120 times, and won landmark victories protecting Obamacare, working Californians and Dreamers from attacks.”
Hilton, for his part, has campaigned on telling residents that the state is “sadly famous for dystopian scenes of crime, chaos and squalor” and blames the “staggering incompetence of [the] Democrat one-party rule” for the devastation behind the 2025 Los Angeles County fires. He promises to “make California Golden again,” a motto echoing Trump’s “Make America Great Again” slogan.
Below, get updates on the California gubernatorial primary race.
Since this is a primary election, none of the candidates is declared the sole winner. The next California governor will be voted for and declared in November 2026, following the general election.
The two highest-voted candidates from the primary election will advance to the general election this fall.
At the time of publication, Hilton is leading the polls at 27.8 percent, according to CNN. Becerra is trailing the Republican at 25.4 percent; Steyer is at 19 percent.
If polls remaind the same after all ballots are tallied, Hilton and Becerra will likely advance to the general election.
It’s too close to project who could be California’s next governor. It all depends on campaigning, and which candidate convinces state residents of positive change once Newsom’s term ends.

California voters headed to the polls Tuesday, June 2, in one of the most closely watched primary elections of 2026, with major races for governor, Los Angeles mayor, attorney general and congressional seats. As ballots are still counted across the state, several high-profile races are still undecided under California’s top-two primary system.
Mail-in voting remains widespread in California, which means that final results could take days or even weeks to finalize.
Below, get updates on the results of the California primary election of 2026.
The California governor’s race is still too close to call as election officials tabulate ballots statewide. According to CNN‘s live election results, former U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra and Republican commentator Steve Hilton were the leading candidates in early returns. Democratic billionaire Tom Steyer was trailing the top two candidates as the ballot counting continued.
At the time of publication, Hilton is leading with 27.8 percent, and Becerra is up to 25.4 percent.
With Governor Gavin Newsom‘s term concluding, the open-seat race attracted a field of candidates from both political parties. Early results suggest Becerra and Hilton are in the strongest position to advance to November’s general election.
The gubernatorial race has been shaped by concerns over housing affordability, homelessness and public safety.
Incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has secured a spot in the November runoff election, according to multiple reports. Early returns showed Bass leading the field with about one-third of the vote.
Meanwhile, reality television personality Spencer Pratt appeared to be on track for the second runoff position, but ballots are still being counted.
As Bass seeks a second term with L.A., Pratt has made headway with his story of losing his home to the Palisades Fire last year.
Among the notable contests, state Senator Scott Wiener was leading in the House race to succeed retiring Representative Nancy Pelosi in San Francisco, while a number of newly redrawn congressional districts produced competitive primary battles across the state.
California’s newly adopted congressional map has increased interest in several districts that could help determine the balance of power in Washington. Political analysts are closely watching a handful of competitive races where the top-two primary system could produce unexpected November matchups.
The race for California attorney general is also unfolding as ballots are counted. Incumbent Attorney General Rob Bonta is seeking another term. Republican Michael Gates and other candidates also competed for a place in the November election.
Election officials are still processing vote-by-mail and provisional ballots that could affect the final standings.
