"Bridgerton" star Nicola Coughlan has spoken out about the continued public focus on her body, saying she has little interest in discussions surrounding body positivity and wants attention to remain on her work as an actress.

In an interview with Elle UK, the 39-year-old Irish actress, who plays Penelope Featherington in the Netflix period drama, addressed the commentary that followed her appearance in Season 3, which centers on Penelope's relationship with Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton.

Coughlan said she has never felt personally connected to body-positivity conversations and does not see it as a cause she wants to represent publicly.

"The thing I say sometimes that pisses people off is, 'I have no interest in body positivity,'" she told the outlet. "When I was a kid growing up, I never thought about that. I didn't look at actors and think about their bodies. So, I actually don't care."

She added that while she respects people who are passionate about the topic, it is not something she personally identifies with.

"There's a lot of things I'm passionate about, it's not one of them... That's someone else's thing. It's not mine."

Emma Watson appears to be enjoying a new relationship.

The Harry Potter actress was recently seen sharing a kiss with Mexican entrepreneur Gonzalo Hevia Baillères at an airport on March 4. According to a source familiar with the situation, Watson, 35, is "really into" Baillères and is currently very happy in the relationship. The insider added that the billionaire entrepreneur seems like a good person and that Watson is in a great place emotionally.

After the airport sighting, the pair were also spotted spending more time together. They were seen having drinks and later dining at an upscale restaurant, suggesting their relationship has been developing steadily.

Their recent public appearances come after earlier reports that the two had been spending time together in recent months. According to the Mexican outlet Quién, Watson and Baillères were first seen together in late 2025 while vacationing in Courchevel in the French Alps. They were later spotted in Punta Mita, a scenic peninsula on Mexico's Pacific coast located about 10 miles north of Puerto Vallarta.

Baillères comes from one of Mexico's most influential business families. He is connected to Grupo BAL, the large conglomerate founded by billionaire Alberto Baillères. The company has investments in several industries including mining, insurance, finance and retail. One of its most recognizable businesses is the luxury department store chain El Palacio de Hierro.

Jeannie Mai is very honest about her dating life.

The former The Real host, who ended her two-year marriage to rapper Jeezy in 2023 before filing their divorce the following year, stated that she is now focusing on herself when it comes to "dating at 47," resolving to "prioritize her own needs in her next meaningful engagement.

"I'm not aiming to get chosen. I'm deciding," she said in a March 5 YouTube video. "I am considering whether I enjoy myself while I am with you. "Am I fully myself when I am with you?"

After all, Jeannie stated, "It's been a minute since I let somebody see me fully me."

"Dating in LA already feels like a full-fledged sport," she added. "Everyone is emotionally unavailable. This time, I have standards."

The Daytime Emmy winner emphasized her new mindset, adding, "Being in my presence is a privilege."

That's why Jeannie recently took herself out on a solo date, documenting it in her vlog.

"I'm not shrinking my shine to make someone else comfortable," she said. "The most important takeaway is that I will never abandon myself again."

Especially since she's likened her divorce from Jeezy, with whom she shares 4-year-old daughter Monaco, to "experiencing death alive."

"Divorce is heartbreaking, no matter what," Jeanie shared on a January episode of iHeartRadio's Question Everything podcast. "It's one of the greatest pains that any human has to endure, honestly."

She went on to say, "Divorce is an inhumane thing that requires you to protect yourself in order to get what you need out of it. This is the worst.

Will she ever consider walking down the aisle again?

"I actually would," added Jeannie, who was also married to Freddy Harteis from 2007 to 2018, "because I really don't want to ever put a block on myself."

She went on to say, "Love cannot be contained. You can't say, 'Oh, I'm only going to find love,' if you're declaring you'll never marry again."

Teddi Mellencamp is recovering from a frightening illness.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star recently revealed that she was hospitalized after contracting Stevens-Johnson syndrome, a rare and serious skin and mucous membrane ailment.

"I hadn't felt good for a couple days," Teddi told her friend and cohost Tamra Judge on the March 3 episode of Two Ts in a Pod. "I thought I had the flu, and then I woke up one

day, and my whole body was just covered in this terrible rash—you can't even say it's a rash because they're almost like sores, like, all over my entire body."

Teddi, who said that the sores "hurt and burned," remained cool despite the scary situation and went to urgent care, believing it would be a simple repair. However, her doctor advised her to go to the emergency room right away.

"Essentially what happened was I was given a new medication, and I was allergic to it," she said of what caused the condition, which she defined as "a rare life-threatening medical emergency causing severe, painful blisters of the skin and mucous membranes."
