‘Queer Eye’ Season 2 Fan Fave William Mahnken Marries Shannan Eller!

Since its debut back in February, Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot has given us more heartwarming love stories than we could have ever expected. From fan fave Tom Jackson tying the knot in May to Karamo Brown revealing he’s engaged, the series has been full of #relationshipgoals. And it’s not slowing down, as season 2’s William Mahnken just said “I do!” to his love, Shannan Eller.

The lovebirds, who appeared on the show’s “A Decent Proposal” episode, exchanged vows on a beach at sunrise in Amelia Island, Florida, in a small, private ceremony officiated by their friend Deborah Ramey. Sharing a snap of the nuptials on Instagram, the groom called Eller his “best friend” and revealed that they actually tied the knot on June 16.

For the ceremony, the bride wore an unconventional (and seriously summery) blue floral dress paired with a blue statement necklace and sparkly headband. The groom, meanwhile, opted for a matching blue Hawaiian shirt.

Although the Fab Five were, unfortunately, not able to attend, they used social media to send the pair their love and well-wishes. Taking to Instagram, the lifestyle gurus shared snaps of the romantic ceremony, writing, “Congratulations William and Shannan! Thank you for letting us be a part of your love story and we hope that the next phase of your life is filled with love, movies, and a lot of avocado goddess!” (Ahem, Antoni Porowski.)

“We Shannan you both,” they concluded, referencing the couple’s engagement, which took place on the show.

As you’ll likely recall, Mahnken got down on one knee at an outdoor movie screening after surprising his then-girlfriend with a touching homemade video in which he struggled to come up with a way to describe his love. He eventually found the perfect word: Shannan.

Congrats to the happy couple!

Over the past several years, climate change has become an increasingly prevalent and unavoidable issuein our everyday lives. As a growing number of people take the threat of global disaster seriously, we're turning to written reports, expert opinions, and heavily researched documentaries to not only help make sense of where we stand, but also to learn how we can help change course. In honor of Earth Day, here are a few of the most eye-opening environmental documentaries you can stream right now.

Environmental Documentaries To Watch For Earth Day 2024

Animal IQ (2021): Featuring elephants, foxes, otters, and more, this new series from PBS Digital Studios and Nature takes a look at the intelligence of Earth's animals with a new episode every three weeks. In each installment, Trace Dominguez and Natalia Borrego talk to experts and conduct research to determine how and if animals can actually think.

Our Planet(2019): Unlike the BBC's beloved Planet Earth and Blue Planet series, Our Planet focuses directly on how each ecosystem featured is currently being threatened by climate change. One scene in particular has caused an appropriately dramatic reaction: a group of Russian walruses falling down a steep rock cliff to their deaths. Narrator Sir David Attenborough explains that receding ice levels have left fewer places for the animals to gather, highlighting just how devastating the warming of the planet has already become.

Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret (2014): Made by the same team who brought us 2017's controversial What the Health documentary,Cowspiracy is, on its surface, a look at the damaging environmental effects of the livestock industry. Like What the Health, much of the information is presented from a very pro-vegan perspective, and not a lot of balanced reporting is offered. Still, it can serve as a starting point to learn about how meat production uses more resources and contributes more to global greenhouse gas emissions than, say, a plant-based diet, and that may help us make more informed food choices.

Chasing Coral (2017): Coral reefs not only serve as a nurturing and essential environment to all ocean life, but also help protect coastlines from flooding during extreme weather events. Unfortunately, due to warming sea temperatures, overfishing, pollution, and other human activities, their vivid, beautiful ecosystems are facing rapid decline. Chasing Coral attempts to document this "coral bleaching" and the devastating economic and environmental effects it could have — as well as the wider problems it may represent. (photo via Netflix)

The Milk System(2017): Milk has always represented health, nutrients, and strong bones but The Milk System dives into how the system in question really operates. Speaking with farmers, dairy owners, scientists, and more, this Earth Day documentary examines the profits, responsibilities, and costs of this billion dollar industry.

Image via Pastic Oceans

A Plastic Ocean(2016): In the face of realizing its irreversible environmental effects, the world is slowly moving toward banning many single-use plastics. A Plastic Ocean starts out as a documentary on blue whales but quickly turns into a study on the devastating effects that plastic pollution has had in the lives of ocean animals, from the whales, to dolphins, to seals, and more. It's an eye-opening look at what our plastic use is doing to these creatures, and to the state of much of our own food supplies.

Image via Netflix

Kiss the Ground (2020): This full-length documentary, narrated by Woody Harrelson, looks at the way regenerative agriculture (which focuses on topsoil regeneration) has the potential to feed the world, replenish water supplies, and even balance our climate. Activists, scientists, farmers and politicians take part in this move towards saving the planet's topsoil.

Say goodbye to Big Ben and hello to the Big Apple because Joe Goldberg is back where it all began. The final season of You is finally coming to Netflix and in addition to some *very* exciting casting rumors, we have a look at what to expect from the new TV show, thanks to lead actor Penn Badgley! Here's everything we know about You season 5.

Where is You season 5 filming?

Image via Jill Livesay/Brit + Co

You season 5 is filming in New York City this March! Brit + Co's Jill Livesay spotted filming setup on the Upper East Side for March 27, 2024 and it looks like Joe will be returning to Mooney's bookstore! (I love a good bookstore).

You was renewed for one final season in March of 2023. Seeing Joe back in New York City is the perfect setting to round out the series. Showrunner Sera Gamble will be an executive producer this time around, while exec producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo will be showrunners.

We got a first official look at You season 5 during Netflix's TUDUM event in Brazil. "I've heard you're on the edge of your seats, waiting and theorizing about the epic conclusion to You," lead actor Penn Badgley says in the teaser. "More importantly, you're considering what, or should I say who, Joe will come up against as he finally returns to New York. Though I can't say who just yet, we all know there are many loose ends from Joe's past."

When is You season 5 out?

Image via Netflix

You. (L to R) Charlotte Ritchie as Kate, Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg in episode 410 of You.

Considering season 4 premiered on Netflix in February of 2023, we originally expected to see the final season hit the streamer in 2024. However, because both the writers' strike and the SAG-AFTRA actors' strike delayed production, the release date shifted. Considering season 4 started filming in March 2022 ahead of its February 2023 release, we can expect You season 5 to hit Netflix in the spring of 2025.

How many episodes will there be in You season 5?

Image via Netflix

You. (L to R) Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg, Amy-Leigh Hickman as Nadia Farran in episode 406 of You.

Each season of You so far has had 10 episodes, so we're expecting the same amount for Joe's sendoff. That being said, we don't know whether they'll release all at once or as a Part 1 and Part 2 like season 4.

Who's in the You season 5 cast?

Image via Netflix

You. (L to R) Dallas Skye Gatson as Juliette, Tati Gabrielle as Marienne in episode 408 of You.

Charlotte Ritchie is returning as Kate Galvin, but it looks like she won't be the only character we recognize. The TUDUM teaser includes some familiar faces like Marienne, Paco, Henry, Ellie, and Nadia, and while none of these characters are confirmed for You season 5, we'd love to see literally all of them.

It looks like we should see Madeline Brewer, Anna Camp, andGriffin Matthews as well.

Is Ellie in season 5 of You?

Image via Beth Dubber/Netflix

You. (L to R) Penn Badgley as Joe Goldberg and Jenna Ortega as Ellie Alves in episode 207 of You.

Jenna Ortega's Ellie was an important character in season 2, and after her sister Delilah is murdered, Joe gives her money to go into hiding so she's not framed for the crime. (Unfortunately, Joe is the one behind Delilah's death, Ellie just doesn't know it). Ellie is mentioned throughout the third season, and was even supposed to appear in season 4 until You and Wednesday had scheduling conflicts.

Is Love alive in season 5 of You?

Image via John P. Fleenor/Netflix

You. (L to R) Victoria Pedretti as Love Quinn in episode 301 of You.

Gamble confirmed in a 2021 interview with Newsweek that Love really did die at the end of You season 3. "I'm not trying to be, 'Was there a parachute under that seat in the airplane?' She is [dead]," Gamble says. "We've done that before with Candace but you know, there were questions you could ask about that. I feel like you literally watch every second of her [Love] dying, right on the screen."

We're still deep in Vanderpump Rulesseason 11, but any good fans know the news never stops with this spicy crew. Whether their breaking stories about Scandoval or scorching friendships and starting feuds, there's just always something to talk about. The latest goss may not be what you're thinking though — according to Page Six(and Andy Cohen himself), production is fully paused on anything related to season 12. They have their alleged reasons for halting, but here's what I think is really happening.

Why did producers pause "Vanderpump Rules" filming for season 12?

It's been a major talking point during this season and its interview cycles that cameras basically went right back up after the Scandoval news broke, and they never really went back down for a full break. According to both production and Andy Cohen himself, Page Sixreported that they ultimately decided to press pause on anything season 12-related because wanted the cast to have a break after the almost nonstop Scandoval-fueled filming last year.

Will Ariana Madix return to "Vanderpump Rules" season 12?

Image via Bravo

I honestly don't think Ariana Madix plans to return to the Vanderpump Rules cast, and here's why:

  1. She's booked and busy. Between landing a hosting gig on Love Island, wrapping up a broadway show, scoring shoe deals, writing books, and beyond...it just makes sense that maybe Ariana's outgrown this world! She started on VPRwhen she was 28 years old — a full decade later, she's just a different person with likely different goals, especially after Scandoval.
  2. There was some allegedly big friendship-altering drama at the reunion. Since they filmed, there are plenty of rumors about who's still friends and why, but one thing is for certain: nobody's talking. And while obody will spill the beans on what was said yet, even Andy Cohen confirmed the reunion was "intense." My guess is that Ariana revealed to the cast that season 11 was her last, and that it sent everyone — especially Lala Kent and Scheana Shay — into a spiral. After all, this show is everyone's job at the end of the day, and Ariana leaving could potentially impact that. Still, like I said, she's likely outgrown the entire situation.
  3. Something About Her finally opening could mean their own show. Katie Maloney and Ariana announced onWatch What Happens Live!that their long-awaited sandwich shop is set to open on May 22. It's safe to say that the girls are EAGER to eat at this shop, with Tiktoks and Tweets galore asking about the opening for a while now...so why wouldn't Katie and Ariana wanna capitalize on that even more with their own show? It's obviously all speculation, but I could definitely see this being a successful, actually interesting VPR spinoff...I'm looking at you, The Valley.
Considering all this, my guess would be that production's working hard to make things work with Ariana, or find a way to break the news easy to the rest of the cast.

Who's returning for "Vanderpump Rules" season 12?

Image via Bravo

There aren't any formal announcements of returning Vanderpump Rules cast members — especially because the current season is still on air. However, one could safely assume almost everyone would choose to return, except for Ariana and maybe Katie (because have you ever seen someone more sick of every single man's BS on one show before?!). But, I'm not sure if we're even gonna get another season of this show, TBH. Why?

  • Nobody works at Sur anymore, and it just feels like we've moved so far past the original premise (and exciting drama) of the show.
  • Lisa Vanderpump (you know, THE Vanderpump in Vanderpump Rules) is hardly on anymore, and when she is, she's saying something that's just...off. Plus, she's got the Villa to run — they're apparently casting for another season as we speak.
  • Everyone's kinda phased out of this era — they're all older, have kids, split up, etc. There's just not that much keeping them all together in this way. Some could easily phase into the travesty that's The Valley, but ultimately VPR is just maybe past it's prime.

When will "Vanderpump Rules" season 12 air?

Image via Bravo

I would have guessed we'd get the next season by mid-winter 2025 given the turnaround time of the most recent season of Vanderpump Rules, but now I'm not sure. If I had to guess, I think we could get something by fall 2025, but who knows how long this hiatus can last. Or — like I said before — if the show even returns.

Dearest gentle reader, if it were up to Lady Whistledown, the finest trend of the season would absolutely be the return of the cottagecore aesthetic. Bring on the floral dresses, ruching, and tulle because thanks to Bridgerton, we're glady welcoming cottagecore back into our current style rotation (if it ever left). Cottagecore has come and gone with the likes of period drama movies and TV shows á la Pride and Prejudice, Downton Abbey, and so many more. So whether you're frolicking in the English countryside, attending balls with Kings and Queens, or just simply catching up on Bridgerton season 3 from the comfort of your couch, we've got all the best dresses for the occasion that will have you looking like THE diamond of the season.

What is cottagecore?

Photo via House of CB

Cottagecore is an aesthetic or style that is inspired by "cottage living" — imagine the English countryside in the early 1900's. The clothing style is very reminiscent of a Jane Austen-inspired era with lots of feminine and flowy silhouettes. You'll notice the styles having corsets, ruffles, florals, and bows, so just think very effortlessly girly!

What are the best brands to shop for cottagecore aesthetic?

Photo via House of CB

The brands that immediately come to mind and encapsulate the "frolicking-in-the-english-countryside-while-waiting-for-your-star-crossed-lover" vibe are brands like Love Shack Fancy, House of CB, and Doen. I've personally shopped all of these and can attest that they are idyllic, gorgeous, and will have you feeling like the lead of a Bridgerton season in no time.

What should I watch to get inspired by the cottagecore aesthetic?

Photo via Netflix

Period dramas are perfect to get into this vibe, and some shows and films that I love to watch are Little Women, Downton Abbey, Pride and Prejudice, Bridgerton(obvi), and anything from the Jane Austen-era! When you watch all of these shows, you'll get so much inspiration from the way they dress and styles they're wearing. I also love scrolling Pinterest to find inpso for what to wear in order to achieve this aesthetic!
