The countdown is officially on for an “explosive” new season of Selling Sunset.
“We’ve seen the new season. We already shot the reunion. It’s a lot,” Nicole Young exclusively shared with Us Weekly while attending the 2nd Annual Gurus Awards, presented by Gurus Magazine, on Sunday, October 12. “I think I’m very curious to see viewers’ reactions, because things kind of get flipped upside down, especially when you see how things kind of end up in the reunion.”
If Nicole was to predict the future, she wouldn’t be surprised if viewers have some new favorites by the time season 9 comes to an end.
“I think some people’s favorite people might change in both directions,” she teased. “It’s gonna be very interesting to see.”
Over the summer, Netflix first confirmed that Selling Sunset season 9 would be premiering on October 29.
The streaming service revealed Sofía Vergara’s sister, Sandra Vergara, would be joining The O Group, vying for the most exclusive listings alongside returning cast members Chrishell Stause, Chelsea Lazkani, Emma Hernan, Alaina Gold, Mary Bonnet, Amanza Smith, Bre Tiesi, Nicole and Jason and Brett Oppenheim.
With less than three weeks to go until the premiere, fans — and even some cast members — are wondering when the official trailer will finally drop.

“They are reediting it,” Mary told Us on Sunday at Derek Warburton’s 1920’s themed event held at Cicada Restaurant & Lounge in Los Angeles. “I don’t know why, and I’m a little scared but they said they wanted to make some edits again.”
Nicole added, “They haven’t told us [the release date] yet, but I would guess any day now.”
“I do agree with that word. It was out of control,” Mary explained. “Whenever I feel like I’m going to have a mental breakdown, the world’s going to love it.”

As for Nicole, there’s one scene she really doesn’t want to relive again. Unfortunately, Selling Sunset isn’t just about open houses and million-dollar homes.
“There’s one scene in particular that everyone will know when they watch it. That is intense,” she teased. “Explosive? I would agree with that word. It’s a lot. Like I said, you will have no question [regarding] the scene I’m talking about.”
Although it’s been nearly 11 months since the scene in question was filmed, Nicole still gets nervous thinking about what went down.
“I mean, it was a bit of a PTSD moment afterwards,” she said. “So, you know, it’s hard having to relive it.”
Fortunately, both Mary and Nicole enjoyed a drama-free night at the 2025 Gurus Awards. The pair joined Romain Bonnet in awarding Jason the winner of the Civic Leadership Award.
The title is given to someone who uses their influence to give back and strengthen the community that shaped them. According to Gurus Magazine, Jason continues to uplift causes that promote education, opportunity and local empowerment.
Selling Sunset season 9 is available to stream on Netflix starting Wednesday, October 29.
Dobrev, 36, showed off her toned figure in a chic bikini while reminiscing on her summer. In her photo dump, which she shared via Instagram, Dobrev stunned in a colorful bikini by Bydee, featuring white triangle cups adorned with lemons, Sicilian ceramics and vintage postage stamps. The $99 top was finished with a dangling blue charm in the center of her bust and double straps.
The Vampire Diaries alum styled the top with matching strappy bottoms and a coordinating sarong. She added a touch of sparkle to her look with a gold chain necklace.
While posing in front of a body of water and a mountainscape, Dobrev sipped on a cup of coffee. She went makeup-free in the snap, showing off her natural beauty. Dobrev wore her brunette hair down and styled in beachy waves.
Dobrev shared more moments from her summer, including sweet pics of her petting dogs, a beach sunset, a trip to Disney with her Vampire Diaries costar Kayla Ewell and other chic outfits.
One of her standout moments was a black top, which she tucked into matching shorts. Dobrev styled the number with a suede brown dress shirt, which she wore undone. She snatched her waist with a brown leather belt by Valentino and black shades. The actress gave the camera a kissy face while snapping a mirror selfie.
“Last few highlights of summer now that it’s fall 🍂,” she captioned the post. Her fans complimented her in the comments section.
“We’re all here for THE NINA ERA!!! keep smiling beautiful, it’s contagious ❤️,” one fan wrote, while another added, “Living her best life😍✨.” Her friend, Ashley Park, also gushed, “🫵 = ☀️.”

Dobrev previously showed off her bikini body while posing with Keleigh Teller in September. In the pic, Dobrev lay on her friend’s lap while wearing a black one-piece. The suit featured a crocket bust, a massive cutout over her abs and high-cut legs. She teamed the look with a coordinating straw hat.
Teller, 32, also opted for a one-piece but made sure it was just as hot as Dobrev’s. Her swimsuit was complete with a plunging neckline that exposed her cleavage, a red, blue, yellow and black patterned bodice and halter straps. She styled the look with a gold necklace and a tan straw hat.
Dobrev’s bikini moment comes one month after Us Weekly confirmed on September 11 that she and Shaun White called off their engagement after five years together.
On September 12, a source exclusively told Us, “There was no cheating at all during the course of their five-and-a-half-year relationship.” The insider added, “They were very loyal to each other. Any online speculation that suggests otherwise is ridiculous.”
While there was no cheating, another insider told Us Weekly that Dobrev was “devastated” about their breakup, revealing the pair “had finally started planning the wedding and things were in motion.”
The source added that Dobrev was being “supported by her closest girlfriends, who have been checking in on her.”

The former Vogue editor in chief, 75, addressed the growing movie buzz regarding her possible role in the sequel in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly during the Only Make Believe Foundation Benefit Concert at New York City’s Shubert Theatre on Monday, October 13.
“Well, I think you have to ask the producers that question. They haven’t told me,” Wintour told Us, refusing to rule out the idea at the event hosted by comedian John Oliver.
Fans sent the rumor mill into overdrive after Wintour was seen bonding with Meryl Streep, who portrays fashion powerhouse Miranda Priestly in the movies — the icy, yet poised and polished editor in chief of the fictional Runway magazine. (Wintour is believed to be the famous inspiration behind Streep’s role although that theory has never been officially confirmed).
Wintour and Streep, 76, greeted each other during the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week on September 27, which Streep attended in character with her costars Stanley Tucci and Simone Ashley, who dressed in D&G ensembles for the brand’s MFW presentation.
“How are you?” Wintour asked Streep in an Instagram video shared by Vogue, as the stylish pair exchanged a hug. “I can’t believe you flew from New York to Milan.”
“This is my first fashion show,” Streep playfully told Wintour. “Not kidding. My first.”

Streep rocked her character’s perfectly styled white hair with a latex camel-colored trench coat featuring a leopard print belt paired with black pants, white sunglasses, a matching clutch and satin pumps.
Wintour, on the other hand, wore a fashion-forward floral print maxi dress with snakeskin heeled boots paired with gold chain necklaces, statement black sunglasses and her signature bob haircut — months after stepping down from her position at Vogue in June.
As Us previously reported, she will continue to serve as the publication’s global editor and the global chief content officer for parent company Condé Nast.
“I think that the fashion industry [was] very sweetly concerned for me about the film, that it was going to paint me in some kind of difficult light … [like] a caricature,” Wintour shared about the movie on The New Yorker’s “Radio Hour” show in September. “But, first of all, it was Meryl Streep, which [was] fantastic. Then, I went to see the film and I found it highly enjoyable and very funny.”
The month before, Streep was spotted donning an ultra-glamorous red ballgown while filming a scene at what appeared to be a Met Gala-inspired event in August.
Fans will not only see Streep reprise her 2006 role, but also Anne Hathaway as fashionista Andrea “Andy” Sachs and Emily Blunt, who played senior personal assistant Emily Charlton.
The sequel follows Priestly “as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and as she faces off against Blunt’s character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs,” per Variety.
The Devil Wears Prada 2 is set to hit theaters on May 1, 2026.
“I don’t think you want to get me started here,” Erin, 38, said with a laugh while talking with Us Weekly about Brynn’s exit in June following a controversial season 15 of RHONY. “Let’s just leave it.”
“She’s removed herself,” Erin explained of her former castmate, noting she hasn’t really spoken with Brynn since the season 15 reunion, which aired in February.

Brynn made waves during season 15 of the Bravo series — which was the second season with an all-new cast consisting of Brynn and Erin as well as Jenna Lyons, Racquel Chevremont, Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank and Ubah Hassan — while on a girls’ trip to Puerto Rico.
During the explosive finale, Ubah, 42, claimed Brynn slept with someone to get cast on the show, which led Brynn to share that she had been sexually assaulted in the past. Brynn later claimed that Ubah knew about her traumatic experience and was upset she would make such a crass remark.
Ubah, meanwhile, insisted that she had no prior knowledge of Brynn’s assault and started to break down.
Brynn later told Erin that she didn’t know if Ubah had “clocked it” when she spoke about her trauma during an emotional phone call between them, which caused the rest of the cast to question whether Brynn was lying about her entire conversation with Ubah to begin with.
“You told us that she might not have clocked it and that felt careless,” Jenna, 57, said during the reunion. “Because we had then realized at that moment … the implication.”
Brynn began to cry, saying, “Just because I don’t fing fall on the ground and scream … and cause a scene and say, ‘F you, bitches,’ just because I keep my s*** together, you’re all holding me accountable for every single goddamn word. … When I say something to someone, I assume that they know it.”

Ubah remained adamant that Brynn “never said it,” referring to her sexual assault revelation. However, Ubah and Brynn made amends before the end of the reunion, but the damage was done between Brynn and the rest of the cast.
“That whole thing was so — how are we supposed to all move on from that? It was just a lot. It was too much,” Erin told Us on Thursday, reflecting on the explosive end to the season. “It was heavy.”
Following the reunion, Brynn confirmed her departure after two seasons.
“After a lot of thought, I’ve made the decision to walk away from reality TV. For now,” Brynn wrote via her Instagram Story in June, calling her time on RHONY “one of the most fun, chaotic, and magical chapters of my life. It was the honor of a lifetime to help reboot such an iconic franchise.”
“We’re going to BravoCon. So, we’ll be there. I think we’ll be just fine,” Erin teased to Us when asked about what’s next. She revealed if the show does come back she wants it to highlight “the true dynamic that we have, which is we have a lot of fun together.”

“I just feel like there’s such a barrier to entry when people are thinking about hosting or having people over, and it seems like so overwhelming to people. And I just want to simplify it,” Erin said of her inspiration for the book. “I think community is so important, especially since covid. I feel like people realize how important it is to be together, and it’s at the forefront of really everything I do. So, I wanted to share like, how I do it easily, while still being beautiful, and it’s just a great part of life.”
She told Us that her “top tips,” including how to get guests to come over — and how to make them leave — are all featured in her writing.
Erin explained, “We always joke that, like, the hardest part is getting people out,” which is why she switches up the timing of her celebrations.
“A brunch, for example, I have a whole chapter basically on brunch, because brunch I love, especially having small kids. They can all play, and everyone gets together, and it’s daytime and it’s easier,” Erin said. “I like to day drink more.”

“I always thought I was such hot s***. The story of that is all very confusing,” Aniston, 56, explained on an upcoming episode of Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.
Aniston admitted she was fuzzy on the details, saying, “Honestly, today I’d have to ask Lorne, because I remember I was in New York City and I had a meeting with Lorne Michaels. I ran into [Adam] Sandler and [David] Spade in the room right outside. And I knew Sandler forever.”
Shepard, 50, asked Aniston whether she was friends with Sandler, 59, before becoming a household name for her role in Friends.
“Yes, he was very good friends with Charlie Schlatter, who played Ferris Bueller in the television version of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off,” she recalled about starring in the short-lived series before joking, “So, we met at Jerry’s Deli in, like, 1912.”
Aniston’s preconceived notions about SNL ultimately influenced her decision.
“I don’t know why I had this self-righteous attitude of, ‘I don’t know if women are treated the way they should be treated on this show.’ It’s a very male-dominated [show], I would love to be here if it was in the Gilda Radner day,” she continued. “This is the brain that semi-remembers things that are back that far. Something like that. I can’t remember, but I just remember Friends then happened.”
The actress ultimately hosted SNL in 1999 and again in 2004. Aniston previously rehashed the conversation she had with Michaels, 80, where she initially shut down the offer to appear on the show.
“I was so young and dumb, and I went into Lorne’s office and I was like, ‘I hear women are not respected on this show,’” she told The Hollywood Reporter in 2021. “I don’t remember exactly what I said next, but it was something like, ‘I would prefer if it were like the days of Gilda Radner and Jane Curtin.’”
Aniston continued: “It was such a boys’ club back then, but who the f*** was I to be saying this to Lorne Michaels? So, yes, adorably that happened, and I’ve hosted Saturday Night Live a couple of times, and I love it so much.”
Over the years, Aniston referred to herself as “such a young twit” for her conversation with Michaels, sharing on The Howard Stern Show in 2019, “I was like, ‘I think that women need to be treated better here.’ Because it was such a boys’ club. You’re just not the brightest when you’re in your early 20s. I didn’t lecture him, I was just saying what I would hope if I was to do this, what I would hope it to be.”
Saturday Night Live airs on NBC Saturdays at 11:30 p.m. ET.
Lukas Gage said he found “empathy” for his younger self while writing his new memoir — even if it stirred up difficult memories for him and his family.
One moment in particular was triggering for his mother, when he detailed being molested by a camp counselor in his youth.
“It killed me to hear her so hurt about some of the things that happened to us,” Gage, 30, exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of I Wrote This for Attention’s book release on Tuesday, October 14, referring to the moment he had to tell his mom he was forced to perfrom sexual acts in front of a counselor.
“I think, you know, as a mom, I feel like you don’t want to feel like you failed your kids. You just want the best for them,” the Euphoria alum shared with Us. “And there’s so many things that were out of her control, and you can only protect your kids so much.”

While his mom couldn’t protect him from being harmed, Gage said she has always been “amazing” as a parent.
“She took over as a father and a mother, like, she is a bad ass,” he gushed. “I think there was nothing that she could have done to protect me. The world is a crazy, scary place, and you can only protect your kids so much.”
Despite feeling bad for his mom and her emotional reaction to his trauma, Gage decided to be vulnerable about all parts of his life in his book. That included recounting his uncomfortable encounter with an older camp counselor years prior.
“Suddenly, the tent door unzipped, and we both froze. A shadowy figure poked their face in. As the silhouette came closer, I realized it was the counselor who was always flirting with all the other counselors,” Gage wrote in his memoir. “The handsome Australian in his twenties: the one who exuded a raw, intoxicating masculinity and rugged charm that made him appear a decade older — the very man I longed to be.”
Simon & Schuster
The White Lotus actor recalled having all his clothes on, but feeling like “we might as well have been naked” because of the way the counselor “looked us up and down.”
“I tried covering myself, even though nothing was exposed and there was nowhere for me to go,” Gage wrote, noting he was with a fellow camper named Nina when the counselor “stepped into the tent and zipped the canvas flap behind him.”
Gage remembered realizing almost instantly that he “wouldn’t get in trouble” for being in the tent with Nina if he chose to “perform” for the counselor.
“He unzipped his pants as he started moving closer. I knew it was wrong as it was happening. It was wrong of him,” the actor wrote. “It was wrong that I was a little turned on, that I felt uncomfortable, that I felt nothing at all. It was wrong that I loved the thrill of doing something forbidden.”
Gage explained that his “skin felt dirty” and his stomach “tensed with fear” but he used his “anxiety and tried turning it into excitement.”

He recalled the counselor touching himself as Gage was instructed to “kiss her harder” and take off his shirt to move their bodies closer together.
“I hesitated, then reluctantly began taking off my shirt. Time began to speed up, and suddenly I wasn’t as frightened anymore. I was no longer present for it. A whole new avatar had emerged,” Gage wrote. “ I was so disconnected from myself — watching, detached, as if I were on my computer screen controlling one of my Sims.”
After some time, Gage remembered the counselor making “a noise of relief” and then he “came on my sleeping bag.”
“When I came back into my body, I was now alone in the same sleeping bag, watching the sun begin to rise. What the f*** happened last night?”
After writing his memoir, Gage told Us one of the toughest parts was learning “to be honest with myself.”
He explained, “I think it’s really easy to talk about a lot of stuff in your life and kind of make a joke out of it, or, you know, be very surface level with it. But I think like going deep and really being honest with myself, I felt like I understood myself a lot more.”
Gage revealed, “I had a lot of empathy for that younger, impulsive, reckless kid. It was amazing. I feel very grateful that I had that much time to, like, just dig into myself.”
