Natasha Rothwell Teases ‘White Lotus’ Season 4 Location: ‘I Know Nothing’

Audiences have followed Natasha Rothwell’s Belinda across the world through two seasons of The White Lotus, but where the character ends up in season 4 remains a mystery.

Rothwell, 44, told Us Weekly exclusively that she does not yet know where the fourth season of the hit HBO series will be located nearly a month after her costar Parker Posey confirmed that the show will be filmed in France.

“I am Jon Snow. I know nothing, so this is news to me,” Rothwell said while discussing her partnership with Asics for their Everyday Escape campaign. “Let me tell you, I love being the last to know when it comes to White Lotus, because I had to keep secrets for season 3 for two years.”

The Insecure alum shared that she was the first actor cast for season 3 when the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike began, delaying production and forcing her to remain mum for several months.

“I read the script [for season 3]. I just knew too much, and so, I love not knowing [about season 4],” Rothwell added. “I’m going to text Parker and ask her. I’m like, ‘Where did you find this out?’ I know nothing.”

While Rothwell may not know the location of White Lotus season 4, she is grateful to have the opportunity to explore Belinda’s growth. When we last saw the beloved White Lotus spa manager, she was leaving her old life behind after accepting $5 million in exchange for her silence on the death of Tanya McQuoid (Jennifer Coolidge). Rothwell told Us that she relates to Belinda’s journey.

“I think playing Belinda has been such a gift,” the actress said. “I think Belinda and I have a lot in common, but I think I’m farther along in terms of my growth. I think we see her very much putting everyone ahead of herself. As someone who’s a recovering people pleaser, when I put on a character that hasn’t figured out something that I have, it is such a reminder of how far I’ve come.”

Since being diagnosed with ADHD last year, Rothwell has worked to better understand her mental health and develop a wellness routine that works for her. This journey is reflected in her ad spot for the Everyday Escape campaign, where she appears as a concierge in a playful nod to Belinda. The campaign encourages people to take a 15-minute movement break to improve their mental health.

“I always try to have a pause, whether it’s scheduled in my calendar or if it’s my watch telling me to take a beat and ask myself what my body needs,” Rothwell shared. “Oftentimes that is water, food and movement — but particularly movement. I think being able to take phone calls while I’m walking outside, strapping on the Asics, and diversifying how I take my meetings and how I schedule my day has been instrumental in incorporating health and wellness into my life in a way that’s sustainable.”

Rothwell wants to continue to share the message that healthy living is achievable for all people, regardless of class, race or size. The most important thing, she stresses, is that people feel empowered to take control of their health.

“I think so often, especially with the commodification of health and wellness, there’s often a price for entry to be healthy,” the actress said. “I fundamentally disagree with that. I think it’s classist. I think that’s why my partnership with Asics means so much to me because, to be someone who is plus-sized and speaking out about health and wellness, it directly refutes what we see on film and television.”

‘Real Housewives’ Mugshots: See Which Stars Have Been Arrested

Reality TV sometimes stretches the definition of “unscripted,” but there was certainly nothing scripted about any of these Real Housewives arrests. In the past three decades, many stars of the Bravo franchise have found themselves in handcuffs for a variety of reasons.

In perhaps the biggest legal drama in the franchise’s history, The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice spent 11 months in prison in 2015 after she and husband Joe Giudice pleaded guilty to multiple federal fraud charges the year prior. (Joe subsequently served a three-year prison sentence and was ordered to be deported to his native Italy in October 2018. They split in 2019.)

Teresa was hardly the first Housewife to run afoul of the law. Scroll down to read about other Real Housewives stars who’ve been arrested, including Wendy Osefo, Luann de Lesseps and more.

‘Chicago Med’ Cast Reacts to Will and Natalie’s Season 11 Return: Watch

Chicago Med’s Dr. Will Halstead and Dr. Natalie Manning no longer work at Gaffney Chicago Medical Center — but their return to the city and the show has the cast buzzing.

“I am just so excited about Natalie and Will coming back,” S. Epatha Merkerson, who plays Sharon Goodwin on the NBC series, says in Us Weekly’s exclusive first look at Nick Gehlfuss and Torrey DeVitto’s joint return to the Windy City during the upcoming Wednesday, October 14, episode.

Oliver Platt, who plays Dr. Daniel Charles, adds, “Having Nick and Torrey back was just an absolute blast.”

The clip then jumps to a scene from the upcoming episode in which a pregnant Natalie (DeVitto) arrives in Chicago after getting a call about her son, Owen (Frankie DeMaio), being shot while in town with Will (Gehlfuss) for a boys’ trip.

“Daniel? What are you doing here?” Natalie says as she comes down an escalator to find her old coworker ready to get her. “I’m picking you up,” Dr. Charles replies before giving her a big hug.

“I’m ecstatic to have some OGs back in the building,” Darren Barnet, who is a newer face on Med playing Dr. John Frost, says in the video. “They’re amazing as people, amazing as actors, amazing performers [and] human beings.”

Chicago Med’s Nick Gehlfuss Teases Will’s ‘Perfectly Tense’ Hannah Reunion

Jessy Schram, who plays one of Will’s former flames Dr. Hannah Asher, tells the cameras she is over-the-moon about seeing her old castmates again.

“Stepping into this new season, coming back to set just feels like home. Being with our crew, our cast and to have Nick and Torrey there it feels really surreal, and it just feels so natural,” Schram, 39, says. “I’ve definitely missed both of them and I know everybody else has.”

Steven Weber, who plays Dr. Dean Archer, is in agreement about having the OG stars back at homebase. “It’s fantastic having Nick Gehlfuss back and, of course, Torrey DeVitto, both show favorites, fan favorites,” he gushes.

Luke Mitchell, who portrays Dr. Mitch Ripley, notes that it’s “cool having them back” in the fold.

“It just feels right. They’re really lovely people and super talented. Having them back feels like they never left,” the actor shares.

Goodbye, Dr. Halstead! Nick Gehlfuss Exits ‘Chicago Med’ After 8 Seasons

While the cast was excited to catch up with Gehlfuss and DeVitto following their respective exits in 2023 and 2021, their joint return to Chicago Med won’t be all sunshine and roses.

Gehlfuss’ Will left the show during the season 8 finale in 2023 where he was reunited with Natalie and her son, Owen, in Seattle. (Natalie, meanwhile, left Chicago for a new adventure during the season 7 premiere in 2021.)

During the Wednesday, October 8, episode, fans saw Will’s return to Chicago in an attempt to bond with Owen ahead of Natalie giving birth to the couple’s first baby. (Natalie is 20 weeks pregnant with her and Will’s first baby. Owen is from Natalie’s prior relationship.)

Will found himself involved in a case at the hospital after seeing a boy get pushed out of a car in bad shape. Will initially butted heads with Dr. Frost over the boys’ treatment — the kid was a drug mule — but ultimately the kid gets treated.

As the doctors perform surgery on the mule, they get held up at gunpoint by a woman wanting the cocaine. Dr. Caitlin Lenox (Sarah Ramos) then confronted the gunwoman and as the credits rolled she fled, but not before fans heard gunshots go off in the lobby.

One Chicago Stars Who Left the Franchise: Where Are They Now?

The cameras panned to Natalie getting a call that her son, Owen, had been shot, which sets up her return to Chicago on next week’s episode.

In Us’ exclusive preview, Natalie does arrive in town to see her son and seemingly finds herself under doctors’ watch. In one clip, a tearful Natalie is in a hospital bed, wearing a gown as Will sits by her bedside and they nod their heads.

Fans will have to wait until Wednesday to see if Natalie’s baby is OK and what happens to Owen.

Chicago Med airs on NBC Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET.

Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney Victorious in Battle With Sandwich Shop Chef

Former Vanderpump Rules stars Ariana Madix and Katie Maloney’s legal battle over their sandwich shop, Something About Her, is set to be dismissed months before they were scheduled for trial, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

On October 2, Penny Davidi, who filed suit against the reality stars in 2024 for breach of contract, informed the court she was dismissing all claims.

She noted the dismissal was conditional, and certain conditions are expected to be met by the parties. (The details of those conditions have not been made public.) Davidi’s decision to toss the case comes after the judge scheduled the trial to start on March 16, 2026.

In her lawsuit, Davidi claimed she was hired in 2023 to work as a chef at Madix, 40, and Maloney’s restaurant in West Hollywood. In court documents, she claimed the duo did not follow the terms of their original agreement.

She said she was promised a 10 percent cut of Something About Her, which opened that same year, in her role as COO/Director of Culinary.

Per the alleged agreement, the trio were to “jointly engage in the business of developing, creating, owning, operating, promoting … and otherwise profiting and benefiting from … a restaurant, fashion, merchandise, and lifestyle, brand, business, and property … to be known as Something About Her.”

In her lawsuit, the chef said she spent a substantial amount of time and effort on Something About Her, including obtaining trademarks for the business. Davidi claimed she was to be paid $7,500 a month in salary that would increase up to $10,000 over time. She claimed Madix and Maloney, 38, broke the deal by refusing to pay her the proper cut.

The lawsuit asked the court to force Madix and Maloney to follow the terms of the original deal.

In response, the Bravo stars denied all allegations of wrongdoing. They asked the court to dismiss the complaint completely.

Madix joined Vanderpump Rules in season 2, and Maloney appeared during the show’s entire run. The journey to opening Something About Her was documented on the show, with fans lining up for the opening in May 2024.

Madix took to social media to thank fans for watching her on Vanderpump Rules over the years.

“Thank you especially to the fans,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “You’ve been the constant over the last decade, your love and support is what I’ll miss the most about it ending. You made this show what it is.”

For her part, Madix has been incredibly busy despite not shooting Vanderpump Rules. She is the host of Peacock’s Love Island USA, which she joined in 2024.

In July, Madix confirmed she would be coming back for another season on social media.

“I’m not leaving,” she said. “I’ll see you guys really soon.”

NAP condemns suspected DPP thugs for intimidating MBC Chief George Kasakula

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The National Advocacy Platform (NAP) has expressed deep concern and strong condemnation over reports that the Director General of the Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), George Kasakula, was allegedly coerced by suspected Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supporters to air a televised apology to President Arthur Peter Mutharika and his family.

In a strongly-worded statement released in on Friday, October 10, 2025 NAP described the incident as a direct attack on media freedom, the rule of law and public trust in national institutions.

The organisation said the alleged act was unacceptable in a democratic society and warned that such intimidation risks taking Malawi back to the dark days of fear and political manipulation.

NAP reminded the public that MBC is a national broadcaster mandated to serve all Malawians, not a propaganda arm or private apology platform for any political party or leader.

The group stressed that forcing the MBC Director General to act under duress undermines the independence of the media, threatens the safety of journalists and damages public confidence in the broadcaster.

The organisation further noted that this incident contradicts the spirit of peace and unity recently emphasized by President Arthur Peter Mutharika, whose public remarks called for respect for the rule of law and democratic order.

NAP said the alleged acts by political operatives are rogue and tarnish the image of both the government and political leadership if left unchecked.

NAP has therefore urged all public institutions to resist being used as tools of political influence and instead focus on serving the national interest.

The group warned that the continued politicisation of taxpayer-funded institutions exposes officers to personal risk, weakens professionalism and erodes democratic governance. It said such practices must come to an end for the sake of national unity and accountability.

In its statement, NAP called on the Malawi Police Service to investigate the matter thoroughly and ensure all those responsible are held accountable.

The grouping has also appealed to political party leaders to publicly distance themselves from acts of intimidation and to guarantee the safety and independence of MBC staff.

The platform further urged oversight and watchdog bodies such as the Malawi Human Rights Commission and the Media Council of Malawi to closely monitor any signs of abuse of public institutions.

NAP reaffirmed that all media houses in Malawi must operate free from coercion to protect the country’s democratic values.

The grouping observes further that the safety of journalists and media executives is essential to maintaining public trust and ensuring accountability in governance.

While acknowledging that MBC has in the past faced criticism for alleged bias against opposition leaders including Mutharika and Dalitso Kabambe, NAP clarified that this does not justify retaliation or intimidation against any public officer.

The grouping added that “Any grievances must be resolved lawfully through appropriate channels, not through acts of coercion or vigilante behaviour”.

The statement was jointly signed by NAP Chairperson Benedicto Kondowe and National Coordinator Baxton Nkhoma, who reaffirmed the organisation’s commitment to defending democratic governance, protecting media independence and upholding accountability in Malawi.

Lilongwe’s Nanjiri vehicles head on crash claims two female lives

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Tragedy struck at Nanjiri in Lilongwe on Friday afternoon when two unidentified female passengers lost their lives in a horrific road accident involving three vehicles.

The crash occurred around 14:30 hours on October 10, 2025, leaving three others seriously injured.

According to Lilongwe Police Spokesperson Inspector Hestings Chigalu said the accident involved a TATA Tipper Truck, registration number TO 4325, a Castel Malawi Nissan UD Truck, registration BT 12199/NS 8413 and a ZHONGTONG Bus, registration BT 519, belonging to Kwezy Bus Service.

The TATA Tipper Truck was being driven by 50-year-old Michael Chikwama from the direction of Nathenje heading towards Lilongwe.

Upon reaching Nanjiri Bridge, Chikwama attempted to overtake another vehicle but collided with the Castel Malawi truck, which was being driven in the same direction by 55-year-old Lester Mbawala.

Following the initial impact, the Tipper Truck lost control and swerved into the opposite lane, where it collided head-on with the oncoming Kwezy Bus. The violent impact left two female passengers in the bus with severe head injuries. They were rushed to Kamuzu Central Hospital (KCH), where medical personnel pronounced them dead on arrival.

Driver Michael Chikwama sustained multiple fractures to his legs and arms, while a female passenger in the bus and another victim identified as Chimwemwe Jemitala also suffered serious leg and arm injuries. Eight other passengers in the Kwezy Bus escaped with minor injuries.

Police say the exact identities of the deceased have not yet been established. The bodies are currently being kept at Kamuzu Central Hospital mortuary pending identification by relatives.

Lilongwe Police spokesperson, Inspector Hastings Chigalu, confirmed the incident and urged members of the public with missing relatives to visit KCH for proper identification.

“This was a tragic incident that could have been avoided. We continue to appeal to all drivers to exercise patience on the road and avoid overtaking when it is unsafe to do so,” said Inspector Chigalu.

Meanwhile, authorities have launched a full investigation to determine the cause of the accident, as the community around Nanjiri mourns the loss of two lives in yet another preventable road tragedy.
