Check out Bobby Berk’s replacement in the trailer for “Queer Eye” Season 9. The Fab Five are back — or at least a new iteration of them are. In a new trailer for Queer Eye Season Nine, culture expert Karamo Brown, food expert Antoni Porowski, grooming expert Jonathan Van Ness, and fashion expert Tan France are joined by newcomer Jeremiah Brent, who will be taking on the role of interior design expert. Brent replaces Bobby Berk, who left after Season Eight.

Dave Coulier from “Full House” is battling cancer.  He was diagnosed with stage 3 non-Hodgkin lymphoma just four weeks ago . . . and it’s “very aggressive, but highly curable. (Here’s video of Dave on the “Today” show.)

Lady Gaga will be in “Wednesday” Season 2, but there’s no word what her role is.  It’s currently in production in Europe. Back in December 2022, Lady Gaga went viral on TikTok for doing the “Wednesday” dance to a remix of her song “Bloody Mary”.

Before a boxing match, the ref always tells the competitors to, quote, “Protect yourself at all times.”  Although when you’re fighting Mike Tyson, you need to pay a little extra attention to your EARS. Jake Paul wore a $100,000 diamond-spiked ear protector to a press conference for tomorrow night’s fight against Mike Tyson.  That’s some expert-level trolling right there.  It’s hard to believe Tyson is the least bit intimidated.  Especially if you read his conversation with Rosie Perez for “Interview” magazine, where he talks about his love of smoking TOAD VENOM, among other things. Tyson vs. Paul goes down LIVE tomorrow night on Netflix.  It’s the main event of a card that starts at 7:00 p.m.

Drew Barrymore is Etsy’s Chief Gifting Officer.

This is Glenn Close living the glamorous life.

Jennifer Love Hewitt still sings into her hairbrush . . . but now she does it to HER OWN music.  In this case, it’s a song called “Christmas Magic”, from her upcoming Lifetime movie, “The Holiday Junkie”.

Jason Kelce’s duet with Steve Nicks, “Maybe This Christmas”, dethroned Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” on the iTunes 100 Holiday chart.  But it’s still early in the season. (Here’s video.)
