Reunions

Erik Per Sullivan is the star from the original "Malcolm In The Middle" who is NOT returning for the upcoming reboot ... and it looks like civilian life is treating him just fine.

Check out these photos of the seemingly retired actor living a humble life in Boston, MA ... he was just getting home from a grocery run when photogs snapped him on the street.

Erik famously played Dewey Wilkerson on the OG 'Malcolm' ... and he reportedly turned down "buckets of money" to return for the Disney+ reboot, which debuts later this week.

Frankie Muniz, Jane Kaczmarek, and Bryan Cranston are all reprising their roles ... but not Erik. He left Hollywood almost two decades ago, and now he's reportedly pursuing a master's degree from Harvard.

Erik sounds like a pretty smart guy ... he's said to be studying Victorian literature at the Ivy League flagship.

Production on "The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" kept viewers in the dark about serious abuse claims involving Taylor Frankie Paul ... TMZ has learned.

Sources connected to the series tell TMZ ... during filming of the Season 3 reunion, Dakota Mortensen accused Taylor of being abusive toward him ..., but we're told that entire exchange was cut and never made it to air.

However, a production source with direct knowledge tells us ... they BOTH hurled allegations of physical outbursts at each other. The volatile exchange was cut for air because the back-and-forth had nothing to do with the season they just shot.

John Stamos and Jodie Sweetin's "Full House" reunion was full of dancing ... with the two stars cutting a rug in a sweet vid.

The stars of the hit comedy got together recently and shot a fun clip ... twirling about to Taylor Swift's hit song "Opalite" in a pair of matching baby blue sweatsuits.

Check out the clip ... it seems young Stephanie Tanner is the dance master now -- looking a bit more confident in the moves than her Uncle Jesse.

Keegan-Michael Key is proud his comedy sketches with Jordan Peele are standing the test of time ... and he wants to reunite for more funny bits.

We got the "Key & Peele" star Wednesday at LAX and our photog asked him if he'd ever want to get the band back together with Peele to film new content.

Key says he loved working with Peele and he's open to getting back in the comedy lab and ... if it ever happens ... they would go back to their bread and butter -- sketches about the human condition that everyone can relate to.

Andy Serkis is dropping hints about the cast for a new movie in 'The Lord of the Rings' franchise ... and it sounds like he went to bat to get the band back together.

We got the guy who plays Gollum in the 'LOTR' trilogy at LAX on Tuesday and asked about the new movie he's directing and starring in, "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt For Gollum."

Andy's reprising his role as Gollum and Ian McKellen is returning as Gandalf, with Elijah Wood expected back as Frodo Baggins ... and while Andy didn't want to give too much away as far as cast, he did go on the record saying he "loved" the OG cast, which also featured Viggo Mortensen and Orlando Bloom.

Finn Wolfhard got a major surprise during his "Saturday Night Live" debut ... a "Stranger Things" reunion right in the middle of his opening monologue.

The actor kicked off the night by declaring he was proud to be a man, even accepting a glass of alcohol from cast member Marcello Hernández ... though he immediately spit it out, joking it was "too spicy."

Just as Wolfhard leaned into his grown-up era, things took a turn. "So yeah, meet the new me. The man me. 'Stranger Things' is over, and I’m not a kid anymore," he said, before being cut off by Caleb McLaughlin and Gaten Matarazzo, who stormed the stage to cheers from the crowd.

Jerry Seinfeld shared photos showing himself hanging out with Julia Louis-Dreyfus and Larry David, giving fans an unexpected glimpse of the iconic trio back together.

In the Instagram shots, the three appeared relaxed and laughing as they posed together during the holiday get-together.

Diddy's most successful "Making The Band" product, Danity Kane, is back on tour ... well, most of the group, at least!!!

On Tuesday, Aubrey O'Day, Aundrea Fimbres, and D. Woods kicked off the latest iteration of DK in San Francisco for their "The Untold Chapter Tour" -- minus OG members Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex.

The 11-stop date is being billed with a daunting tagline ... "This isn't a comeback. It's a revelation," which speaks volumes following their former Bad Boy Records boss' highly publicized criminal trial.

Brandy and Monica took full advantage of the Hollywood access lanes during their 2nd L.A. stop for their "Boy Is Mine" tour ... rolling out the red carpet for O.T. Genasis, Mario, Blxst, and the one and only LL Cool J!!!

The festivities went down inside the KIA Forum, and TMZ Hip Hop obtained plenty of video ... O.T. popped out to perform his hit record "Cut It" while LL had the crowd "Doin It" wild.

Mario showed the crowd in real time why he's confident in critiquing his fellow singers with a slam-dunk rendition of his billion-streamer "Let Me Love You" ... and Blxst repped hard his and Brandy's World Series-winning hometown, ripping through his double-platinum classic "Chosen."

9:52 AM PT -- A source who was near Sydney Sweeney's house when she got out of the car heard her scream ... "I don't believe you. Please leave, leave me alone."

Short story ... this seemed anything but a reconciliation.

Sydney Sweeney's night out in Los Angeles took a twist ... when she met up with her ex-fiancé right after dinner.

The "Euphoria" actress reunited with Jonathan Davino Saturday night just moments after leaving a private dinner with friends at celeb hotspot Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica.

We're told Sydney and her pals dined in one of the restaurant's intimate back rooms, where they caught Game 7 of the World Series while sharing food and drinks.

Finally, our long national nightmare is over ... Kristin Cavallari and Lauren Conrad are on good terms after the "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" reunion ... an experience Kristin dished about on her podcast.

Kristin announced, "Lauren and I are friends," on Tuesday's episode of "Let's Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari."

This comes after their famous feud over a boy in the early 2000s. The two were caught up in a love triangle with costar Stephen Colletti, which boiled over when Lauren called Kristin a "slut" ... something she's since expressed regret about.

Victoria Beckham has basically sworn off a Spice Girls reunion -- though she says it's quite tempting. Her biggest problem? She can't sing!

Check out her new interview with Andy Cohen and John Hill on SiriusXM’s "Andy Cohen Live" -- Posh Spice confirms she doesn't want to be on stage with her girls Mel B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Geri Halliwell anymore ... but admits it's an alluring thought.

However, she admits her biggest problem is she doesn't think she can sing anymore ... and says she was never that great to begin with!

Rush's surviving members are heading back into the limelight -- because they just announced a reunion tour!

The group -- consisting of bassist-singer Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson -- is set to hit the road in the summer of 2026 on what's being labeled as the "Fifty Something" tour, according to Variety.

The pair's going to be joined by drummer Anika Nilles, who will in for Neil Peart, who died back in 2020 from glioblastoma.

The news broke in an interview with Lee and Lifeson at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland Sunday night, and the bassist said choosing to tour again was a “very difficult decision” given Peart's absence.

Lee and Lifeson reportedly began privately jamming on their old songs following their longtime friend's death, which helped them work through his absence.

The late drummer's family has given the band their blessing to hit the stage again, and the group's planning to pay tribute to Peart multiple times at each show.

In addition to Nilles -- who formerly toured with Jeff Beck -- the group is going to hire a keyboard player to join them on the road ... and Lee quipped Lifeson would have more room to dance with all the extra support.

James Van Der Beek made a surprise cameo at the Dawson's Creek Reunion Monday night in NYC, this after he bowed out of the event due to his ongoing health issues, including cancer.

The actor — who played Dawson Leery on the hit TV show — appeared in a pre-recorded video on a virtual screen in the Richard Roger's theater in Manhattan— and introduced the man who stepped up to replace him — Lin Manuel Miranda.

Van Der Beek said he had been looking forward to the reunion for months after fellow actor Michelle Williams put the event together. He said he was disappointed he couldn't make it to see his co-stars, such as Joshua Jackson, Katie Holmes and Williams, who played Jen Lindley on the WB show.

James Van Der Beek's serious health issues -- notably, cancer -- have caused him to drop out of Monday's much-anticipated "Dawson's Creek" reunion.

Van Der Beek -- who starred as Dawson Leery on the hit TV show -- took to Instagram Sunday and told fans he's "gutted" about missing today's big reunion, which was put together by Michelle Williams. As you know, James was diagnosed with stage 3 colorectal cancer in November 2024.

In his IG post ... Van Der Beek wrote he's currently "out of commission" because he's battling two stomach viruses that have kept him "grounded at the worst possible moment.” He also said he was really looking forward to the charity event ever since Williams conceived the idea in January.

Omarion, Raz B, J-Boog, and Lil Fizz are B2K bros -- FOR LIFE -- and they're ready to prove it to the world with their 25th anniversary tour, come 2026!!!

TMZ Hip Hop linked up with all 4 B2K members in all their glory outside the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City this week, and longtime fans will surely see the camaraderie is strong between them.

Like most successful groups, the multi-platinum sellers have taken their lumps through breakups and in-fighting ... but as Boog puts it, the reconnection, which has been going strong since this year's BET Awards, was all about "God's timing."
