Frankie Muniz is ready to set the record straight on where his relationship with former costar Hilary Duff currently stands.
“There’s another story I haven’t told, and I don’t know if I want to tell it, but maybe I will. It’s been a long time,” Muniz, 39, shared on a September episode of “The Joe Vulpis Podcast” hosted by Joe Vulpis. “I was on the set of Lizzie McGuire, and I was in Hilary’s dressing room and her mom was there. Her mom was — I’m going to say — the epitome of a stage mom, momager. … Hilary was so cool, we had an awesome relationship, but her mom was super intense. My mom was the opposite.”
After Lizzie McGuire premiered in 2001, Duff, 38, asked Muniz — who was starring in Malcolm in the Middle at the time — to appear on her Disney Channel show as himself.
The actor said that Duff was one of the “first friends” he met after moving to Los Angeles, but their friendship was not able to stand the test of time after the actor claimed Duff’s mom questioned his career plans.

“Her mom was like, ‘Do you know what you’re doing this summer? What are you doing this summer?’” he recalled. “And I go, ‘Oh, I’m filming this movie where I’m playing like a junior James Bond. It’s called Agent Cody Banks.’”
When Duff’s mom questioned if the movie’s team was looking for an actress, Muniz stayed mum but knew “I had the say of who the girl was going to be.”
Although he initially thought Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk was going to take the role, he was surprised to learn Duff booked the film one day later.
“Needless to say, I wasn’t thrilled about it. And not because I didn’t want it to be Hilary,” he said. “I don’t know how much I want to say. I’m trying to think about it because I’ve already said way too much.”
Although Agent Cody Banks was released in 2003 and was a hit at the box office, the movie’s leading characters didn’t exactly stay close.
“I’ve never talked to Hilary since the last day of filming,” Muniz said. “I’ve not said one word to her since then. So that’s the truth of that. No one knows about my Hilary Duff story.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Duff’s reps for comment.
To this day, Muniz said he doesn’t hold any ill feelings towards the former Disney Channel star. In fact, he said he regrets “not just continuing to be friends with her because we had a great friendship for such a long time.”
“I would love to catch up with her,” Muniz added. “I would love to even talk about that because I’m sure she doesn’t know any of that happened.”

More than two decades after first finding success in Hollywood, both Muniz and Duff remain booked and busy.
Muniz is expected to star in the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle revival.
As for Duff, she recently signed a deal with Atlantic Records to release new music. The “So Yesterday” singer also has a docuseries in the works that will document her long-awaited musical return and personal journey.

Cynthia Erivo is opening up about being estranged from her father.
“I don’t know what my life would be like if he was still around, and I can’t say whether it would be better or worse,” Erivo, 38, said during her Harper’s Bazaar interview published on Tuesday, October 28. “Better not to find out. I’ve never daydreamed about that, because it’s not going to happen. And the life that I have, I am so happy in it.”
Erivo’s interview shared in the November 2025 issue comes ahead of her memoir, Simply More: A Book for Anyone Who Has Been Told They’re Too Much, set to be released on Tuesday, November 18.
She discussed her family dynamics in the book, like being raised by her mom, Edith, in London. The Wicked star’s father left her and her sister when she was 16 and “disowned” them, according to the Harper’s Bazaar interview.
Will Kristin Chenoweth Be in ‘Wicked: For Good?’ She Says …
Erivo has previously discussed their strained relationship in a 2021 interview, sharing that the last time they saw each other was at a cousin’s wedding more than a decade ago.
“This is me admitting that there are things that he’s missed and I’m sad that he’s missed them,” she told Glossary magazine at the time, discussing the song “You’re Not Here,” which was written about their strained relationship.
“There are things that he’s going to miss and I’m sad that he’s going to miss them,” she added. “There is a part of me that wishes I could have my dad in my life. But there’s also a part of me that’s actually very comfortable because I’ve written this, knowing that he’s not going to be a part of my life at all.”
Erivo said at the time that she has no issue being “vulnerable” and sharing the story about her family publicly.
“I don’t know if I could have written anything that wasn’t honest,” Erivo admitted. “I want people to know that it is OK to talk about those things. I want them to find solace and comfort in my music. The goal has only ever been to be truthful.”
The same is to be said for her upcoming memoir.
“I have felt so supported through all of the wonderful and new things I’ve been able to share, and I thought to myself, maybe I can help someone else move through some of the things that they have going on in their lives,” Erivo wrote on Instagram in June, when announcing her memoir. “So this book is to help anyone who wants to become even more of the person they are meant to become.”
The title, she explained to Harper’s Bazaar, came from the speech Erivo gave while accepting the GLAAD Media Award in May.
“In their quiet solitude, that’s still a measure of rebellion and still deserves a little light,” she told the magazine. “What I wrote about was [that] those of us who are in the light, who are walking around with our lanterns shining bright, should just change the direction of the lanterns and shine it back on people who don’t know where their path is yet.”

Blue Ivy Carter was the spitting image of her famous mom, Beyoncé, while wearing a glamorous pink dress at a star-studded event.
Beyoncé, 44, took to Instagram to share a sweet moment between her own mother, Tina Knowles, and daughter Blue Ivy, 13, on Monday, October 27.
In the pic, Blue Ivy wore a head-to-toe pastel pink look while celebrating Knowles, 71, who was given a philanthropy award at the Annual Angel Ball at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
“Congrats Mom on your philanthropy award at the Angel Ball tonight ❤️,” Beyoncé captioned the post, which fans thought was actually Blue Ivy’s writing from behind the phone. Social media users gushed about Blue Ivy looking just like the chart-topping performer in the comments section.
Beyonce’s Best Onstage Moments With Her Kids: Blue’s Dance Debut and More
“Blue is looking like young B!!!” one wrote, while another added, “So this is not Beyoncé at 13?” A third commented, “Blue is really Beyoncé’s doppelgänger.”
Her outfit featured a bubblegum satin dress equipped with a square neckline and thick straps. The corset bodice cascaded into an ankle-length pencil skirt. Blue Ivy added even more glamour to her look with a plume shawl, which she wrapped around her arms while walking into the venue. The dancer styled her outfit with a diamond necklace and strappy kitten heels.
Blue Ivy’s makeup was just as stunning as her look, including manicured eyebrows, winged eyeliner, long lashes and sparkly eyeshadow. She tied her makeup together with lined, pink lips and twisted her highlighted hair into an updo.
Knowles looked just as stylish as her granddaughter, whom Beyoncé shares with husband Jay Z. (Beyoncé and Jay-Z, 55, are also the parents of twins Sir and Rumi, 8.)
Beyoncé’s mom, for her part, looked regal in a red velvet dress featuring a one-shoulder strap and cutout over her chest. The design was finished with a sheer column skirt with delicate floral beading and more velvet, creating an A-line silhouette. She accessorized with red gloves, a diamond ring and matching earrings.
Tina complemented her ensemble with a full beat, including bronzed eyeshadow, wispy lashes and bright pink lips. Her caramel mane was parted to the side and styled in voluminous curls.
Not only do Beyoncé and Blue Ivy look identical, but they also enjoy hitting the stage together. Blue Ivy traveled alongside her mom during the Renaissance World Tour in 2023 and the Cowboy Carter Tour, which concluded in July 2025.
In her Renaissance: A Film by Beyoncé, Blue Ivy was seen working even harder to improve her dance moves after seeing online criticism.

According to the New York Times, Blue Ivy’s performance on tour was only supposed to be a one-time occurrence, and even still, Beyoncé was protective over her little one.
“She told me she was ready to perform, and I told her no,” she explained.
After making her debut, Blue Ivy appeared in every show during her Cowboy Carter Tour. Rumi also walked on stage as her mom sang “Protector” and posed with the duo.
Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter Tour kicked off in April 2025 in Inglewood, California, and concluded in Paradise, Nevada, on July 26.

Megan Fox is getting real about postpartum after welcoming her and Machine Gun Kelly’s first child together.
“First of all, I just want to say I just had a baby, and I have a lot of brain fog,” Fox, 39, shared during a screening of her Jennifer’s Body film at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 25, per a TikTok.
She continued, “I haven’t slept in seven months. So if I repeat myself, I’m sorry. Just interrupt me and tell me I’m off track.”
Fox explained that she “really resonated” with the script for Jennifer’s Body, including her character becoming a monster.
Megan Fox ‘Feels Renewed and Refreshed’ After Welcoming Baby With MGK
“There’s something about that, whether it’s perceived or not,” she said. “I felt like I was persecuted at that time in my career, and I was struggling a lot with fame and kind of traumatized by fame.”
She continued, “I resonated with those deeper layers of before she becomes a monster, she’s a teenage girl that gets sacrificed for somebody else’s gain. And that very much resonated because that’s kind of how I came into this industry.”
Fox embodied the film by rocking a corset adorned with red beaded jewels — giving the look that she was dripping blood. The event marked Fox’s first appearance since welcoming her youngest child, daughter Saga Blade Fox-Baker, 7 months. (Fox is also mom to sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 11, and Journey, 9, with ex-husband Brian Austin Green. Kelly, for his part, welcomed daughter Casie with ex Emma Cannon in 2009.)
In June 2020, Us Weekly reported that Fox and Kelly, now 35, were “officially dating.” The pair got engaged in 2022 but split two years later after announcing they were expecting their first baby together. Fox and Kelly (real name Colson Baker) welcomed Saga in March.

“My family is Norwegian and there’s a Norwegian goddess named Saga, and it means epic story. And so we named her Saga because to get her on this earth through highs and lows, it truly was an epic story of love, pain and a lot of magic,” Kelly shared during a September episode of Jennifer Hudson’s eponymous talk show.
In August, a source exclusively told Us that Kelly and Fox were not putting a label on their relationship after Saga’s arrival.
“Megan is very strong-willed and doesn’t want to give in to MGK and allow him fully back in. She’s standing her ground but, of course, still loves him,” the insider said, noting that things “feel back to ‘normal’ between them.”
A separate source, however, shared that Fox and Kelly were “still being intimate” and were “trying to work things out to reconcile.”
Kelly, for his part, has gushed over Fox in recent months.
“I had [Saga] with the person who is the greatest partner, like, the greatest partner to have had a child with, because she’s such a phenomenal mom,” Kelly told Hudson in September. “We go back and forth on who [Saga] looks like,” he continued. “Last month, she looked exactly like me, and now she looks exactly like her.”

With so much focus on the Dutton Ranch in various Yellowstone shows, is the location at the center of Taylor Sheridan‘s hit TV franchise a real place?
Yellowstone, which premiered in 2018, introduced viewers to the fictional Dutton family, who own the largest ranch in Montana. As the fictional universe grew, so did the amount of Yellowstone shows located at the ranch, which is actually known as Chief Joseph Ranch.
Rancher Shane Libel and his family previously spoke about how Yellowstone producers scouted the location.
“[Taylor] looked around and said, ‘That’s the bunkhouse right there,’” Libel told TV Insider in 2022. “He started walking around and calling out scenes as he saw them. ‘Episode 1, Act 3 here!’ And an assistant was writing everything down. The location director looked at me and said, ‘I think you have it.’”

In addition to Chief Joseph Ranch, Yellowstone and 1923 filmed in Utah and the real-life Crow Indian Reservation. The Yellowstone franchise, meanwhile, has expanded to include 1883, The Madison, Y: Marshals, The Dutton Ranch, 1944 and 6666.
Keep scrolling for everything to know about the real Dutton Ranch:
Yellowstone and 1923 were filmed at Chief Joseph Ranch, which is a working cattle ranch in Montana. Libel and his loved ones currently reside on the property that is five hours away from Yellowstone National Park.
“This is the real deal. This is what makes this show sing, is that this lodge has actually become a character in our show,” Yellowstone set decorator Carla Curry said in a 2021 video while filming the show. “This is not a set. This is not on stage. This is a private home that we are lucky enough to be in.”
She continued: “It is historically an unbelievably irreplaceable home. So we’re proud of it, we want to keep the integrity of it, and we wanna honor our additional cast member here.”

Libel has owned the Chief Joseph Ranch since 2012, telling TV Insider, “We fell in love with it [and] the history, the buildings — just the ranch itself.”
The rancher was on set while Yellowstone was in production. (The main lodge featured on the show used to be a bed and breakfast but has since become Libel’s home.)
“The most surreal thing in the world — and the most humbling thing in the world is when you’re sitting in your own living room watching a show that’s filmed in your house,” Libel said in a 2021 Yellowstone promotional video.
During most of 2025, fans could travel to Chief Joseph Ranch before it closed to guests for the winter months. Visitors could stay at guest cabins, which would allow them to tour the location.
The Chief Joseph Ranch offered a Lee Dutton Cabin, the Rip Cabin and the Fisherman’s Cabin — with a nightly rate of over $1,000 for each. Chief Joseph Ranch’s website noted that the Lee Cabin was built in 1916 and overlooks the Bitterroot River.
