Sally Field Went Full Mom Trying to Hook Up Her Son With Olympic Figure Skater Adam Rippon

Figure skater Adam Rippon has been a breakout star of the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. He helped Team USA win the bronze in team figure skating, he’s the first openly gay US winter Olympian (along with freestyle skier Gus Kenworthy), and he’s not shy about being outspoken on major issues. All of this has seen the young skater’s star rise — including with actress and Hollywood legend Sally Field, who’s trying to play matchmaker between him and her son.

Field’s son, Sam Greisman, tweeted a screencap of a text convo with his mom, where she says she thinks they’d make a good pair. “Sam…He’s insanely pretty,” the text from Field reads. “Find a way.”

Greisman shared the screencap with an only slightly embarassed caption. “Just some really helpful advice from my mom on how to deal with my Olympic crush,” he wrote.

Field then later quote-tweeted Greisman’s post, making sure to tag Rippon so he’d see it. Her son’s response? “Yikes.”

Field isn’t the only celeb tweeting at Rippon to get his attention — Britney Spears sent some encouraging words to the skater over the weekend, and just before the games started, Reese Witherspoon sent her love and support, too, igniting a pretty sweet Twitter friendship between the two.

So far, Rippon hasn’t responded to Field’s request for a meeting with her son, but if his Twitter presence is any indication, he’ll at least have a little fun with it.

Do you have any Olympic crushes this year? Let us know @BritandCo!

'The Breakfast Club' Cast Just Reunited For The First Time In 40 Years: "Very Emotional"

If you've been rewatching The Breakfast Club since 1985, then there's a good chance you've been waiting for a full cast reunion. Well, in honor of the film's 40th anniversary on February 15, 2025, the five Breakfast Club stars (Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, and Anthony Michael Hall) just reunited for the first time since the '80s! The cast spoke on how special it was to be together — and Emilio finally revealed why he's never been a part of the reunions before. Let's get into it!

Here's what happened at The Breakfast Club cast reunion with Molly Ringwald, Judd Nelson, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estevez, and Anthony Michael Hall.

'The Breakfast Club' cast reunion was "emotional."

@c2e2official

We're HONORED to have the first-ever full cast reunion of The Breakfast Club with Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Ally Sheedy, Emilio Estèvez, and Anthony Michael Hall here in Chicago at C2E2! ❤️

The Breakfast Club cast reunited at the Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo on April 12 for a panel conversation.

“I feel really, very emotional and moved to have us all together,” Molly Ringwald said (via Today). “This is the first time that Emilio has joined us. We don’t have to use the cardboard cutout anymore because he’s here.”

Emilio never joined the other cast reunions (like appearing at the 2010 Oscars), and finally revealed why during the conversation. "I skipped all of my high school reunions, so this just was something that finally I felt I needed to do just for myself," he told moderator Josh Horowitz. "Somebody told me that Molly said, 'Well, does Emilio just not like us?' And that broke my heart. I thought, 'No, of course, I love all of them.' And this just made sense, so here I am."

Two stars from the movie (Emilio Estevez and Ally Sheedy) appeared in Andrew McCarthy's Hulu documentary Brats in 2024, which explores the effects of an infamous 1985 New York Magazine article dubbing the group of young actors (which also included Andrew, Demi Moore, and Rob Lowe) the "Brat Pack."

But considering this is the first time the full Breakfast Club cast has been together since the 1980s, the reunion felt like a homecoming. "This [reunion] felt special," Emilio continued. "It’s here in Chicago, where we made the film, and obviously the 40th anniversary, and it just felt like it was time."

Aldi Shoppers Are Obsessed With This New Starbucks Cold Foam Dupe (Only $4!)

As fun as going on a coffee run is, it can end up being super costly if you’re hitting up your local shop or closest Starbucks on the regular. This is especially true if you can’t resist a little coffee customization here and there – from syrups to cold foam toppings, asking for the “fun stuff” in your bev can easily rack up extra dollars!

If you’re embracing the at-home barista life in favor of spending more at the coffee counter, you need to make a beeline to Aldi ASAP! The grocer just started stocking a canned cold foam that rivals that of Starbucks, and shoppers are totally hooked.

Scroll on for the details on Aldi’s $4 cold foam dupe that’ll help you save on your coffee bill without sacrificing flavor!

Aldi

Meet the Barissimo cold foam, currently sold at Aldi for just $4! It comes in two delicious flavors – Sweet Vanilla and Caramel Macchiato – to top off your iced coffee with a creamy layer of subtle sweetness. While many other store-bought cold foams are packed with various ingredients, this one is made simply from real cream while being powered by real and artificial sweeteners.

Reddit

One Aldi fan on Reddit shared their drink creation using the Barissimo Caramel Macchiato cold foam, noting that it “would probably cost $8 at Starbucks.”

Another fan chimed in, saying “that stuff is so good I had to stop buying it lol.”

“I only buy coffee drinks outside of the house about once every couple of months,” one more person said. “This is such a nice treat for much cheaper.”

A few more Aldi shoppers described the cold foam as ”like whipped cream that got melty” and that the topping “wasn't overly sweet.”

Reddit

Seeing that adding cold foam to a drink at Starbucks costs $1.25 extra, this $4 can is a real bargain if you’re still seeking out a similar coffee experience at home that won’t cost you so much!

So far, Aldi shoppers have reported good experiences with all of Barissimo’s cold foam flavors, from vanilla and caramel to even pistachio. 👀 Time for an Aldi run!

Aimee Lou Wood Just Clapped Back At That "Mean And Unfunny" 'SNL' Sketch

The White Lotus season 3 totally took over the internet during its run, as did Chelsea (Aimee Lou Wood) — even before we learned she didn't make it out of the season finale alive. While the Sex Education actress, whose teeth have been the topic of online chatter (yes, you read that right), admitted it's been cool to see the reaction to her natural teeth, and that refusing veneers makes her feel "a bit rebellious," fans think a recent episode of SNL took the commentary too far — and Aimee agrees.

Here's what Aimee Lou Wood had to say about the SNLWhite Lotus sketch including a joke about her teeth.

Aimee Lou Wood says SNL making fun her teeth was "cheap."

SNL spoofed White Lotus with a sketch called "The White POTUS," replacing the Ratliffs with Donald Trump and Melania Trump, and Walton Goggins' character Rick with RFK Jr. However, Sarah Sherman did portray Chelsea from HBO's hit show in the "sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970’s misogyny," as one viewer said.

And Aimee admitted in her Instagram stories that “I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny xo.”

“Such a shame [because] I had a great time watching it a couple weeks ago,” she continued (via THR). “Yes, take the piss for sure — that’s what the show is about — but there must be a [more clever], more nuanced, less cheap way?”

The "cheap" sketch includes Sarah Sherman saying a couple lines like "Fluoride, what’s that? Oh look, a monkey!”

“I am not thin skinned,” Aimee said. However, “the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth."

“At least get the accent right, seriously," she said. "I respect accuracy, even if it’s mean." (The actress later revealed SNL has since apologized).

And she doubts she'd have to talk about her appearance so much if she was a man.

All in all, it's safe to say the conversations surrounding Aimee Lou Wood's teeth are getting excessive.

“It makes me really happy that it’s symbolizing rebellion and freedom, but there’s a limit,” she said in an interview with GQ. “The whole conversation is just about my teeth, and it makes me a bit sad because I’m not getting to talk about my work...I don’t know if it was a man would we be talking about it this much?”
