00:00Hey, it's People in Time.
00:05The inauguration made a lot of headlines, but let's talk fashion, shall we?
00:09First, the hat that launched a thousand memes.
00:12Melania instantly went viral when she stepped out in this serious navy suit with a white
00:17brimmed hat that had people slinging comparisons to Carmen San Diego and even the Hamburglar.
00:23But the inaugural ball that night was a different story.
00:26For that, she ditched the hat for a strapless black and white gown by Hervé Pierre with
00:30geometrical designs and a slit up to the knee.
00:33The repeat first lady topped it off with a not-so-90s satin choker for a look that her
00:38team says was meant to symbolize elegance and unity.
00:42And Monday taught us that even former first kids aren't immune from being embarrassed
00:46by their parents.
00:48Jenna Bush says her dad, President George W., is blowing up in their family group chat
00:52this week because of his now viral facial expressions during Trump's swearing in.
00:57And the internet's obsessed with them, too.
00:59But Jenna came to her dad's defense, pointing out that he's sitting next to his friend and
01:04apparently bad influence, fellow former press Barack Obama.
01:07Now, even before the event began, Barack was teasing his predecessor and predicting George
01:12wouldn't behave himself during the ceremony.
01:14Where's Michelle when you need her to keep these boys in line?
01:19Okay, we have a mystery on our hands, y'all.
01:22Did you happen to catch how Justin Bieber's Instagram account unfollowed his wife, Hailey?
01:26But have no fear, Detective McCull is on the case.
01:30So Justin claims he's innocent, saying someone else gained access to his account, then did
01:34the dirty deed.
01:35Hmm, possible, if the motive was to stir up trouble.
01:39On the other hand, there have been pretty steady rumors of trouble in paradise.
01:43So could it have been an inside job?
01:45Or is it someone trying to fuel the rumor mill?
01:47Wait, there's more evidence!
01:49Just three days before the unfollow, Justin posted pics from a cozy winter date and called
01:54Hailey the greatest woman I have and will ever know.
01:57Does that sound like a man who would unfollow his wife?
02:00Or is that the perfect cover?
02:03Very mysterious.
02:06Bachelonation has been all in on the dramatic split between Matt James and Rachel Kirkconnell.
02:11Now even her sister has tea to spill.
02:14Ooh, let's call Breanne for the latest.
02:16Hey, McCull, what's up?
02:18Hey, Breanne!
02:19Okay, so Rachel's sister Trinity has something to say about the drama.
02:23Yeah, so Trinity said Matt and Rachel were together just hours before Matt announced
02:28their breakup on January 16th.
02:30In Matt's post, he asked God to give him and Rachel strength to mend their broken hearts.
02:35And given how well-polished it was, fans are wondering if this was all planned for a while
02:39and if Rachel was the last to know.
02:41This is all so very weird because Matt was posting lovey-dovey clips from their trip
02:46to London just one day earlier.
02:48Yeah, fans definitely noticed that they were posting about 12 hours before the breakup
02:53and one even suggested that the trip might have been sponsored, so maybe Matt was contractually
02:57obligated to post those videos.
03:00Breanne, that might make sense.
03:03It does, but the plot thickens.
03:06Trinity responded to that theory too, and she claims that they were still together when
03:10he was posting those videos.
03:12Okay, girl.
03:13Here is the million-dollar question.
03:16Was Rachel blindsided?
03:18Well, they were together for four years, and they had been through a breakup once before
03:22in 2021 before quickly getting back together.
03:25And Rachel has not yet commented on the breakup, but she has liked fan comments on her post
03:30where they have theorized that she was blindsided by the announcement.
03:32Ooh, child.
03:33The tea is too hot.
03:35Listen, she's going to end up being the next Bachelorette.
03:37I'm putting that out into the universe.
03:38Well, thank you for the info.
03:39I'll talk to you later.
03:40Talk to you soon.
03:41Bye.
03:42Prince Harry's legal battle against the tabloids is finally over, and it ended with a bang,
03:50a surprise settlement before the trial even began.
03:54So Harry accused newsgroup newspapers of illegally gathering information on him over the course
03:59of 15 years.
04:00And now we're hearing he's banking over $12 million in the settlement with them.
04:06Okay.
04:07NGN, which is owned by Rupert Murdoch, even issued him a full apology for intruding in
04:11his private life and for the way they treated his mom, Princess Diana.
04:16This is historic, y'all.
04:17It's the first time the publisher is admitting any wrongdoing in connection to the tabloids.
04:22As for Harry's lawyer, well, he's reveling in their win as he read a statement from Harry
04:26himself.
04:27Today, the lies are laid bare.
04:29Today, the coverups are exposed.
04:32And today proves that no one stands above the law.
04:36The time for accountability has arrived.
04:40Hey SYNC fans, this one's for you.
04:42The beloved boy band reunited at Justin Timberlake's concert in California as they celebrated Joby
04:48Fatone's big Broadway debut in Ann Juliet.
04:51And Justin pulled out all the stops, bringing Chris Kirkpatrick, J.C. Chizet, and Lance
04:56Bass together for a backstage reunion, well, minus their Broadway bandmate.
05:02Congratulations are in order for Henry Cavill, who was officially promoted to zaddy over
05:06the weekend when photos were published of the actor and his girlfriend Natalie pushing
05:10a stroller in Australia.
05:12Now, we aren't actually going to show those, gotta respect his privacy, but he did ask
05:17for parenting advice way back in June.
05:19So if you do the math, baby could have been here for a while now.
05:23Good and sneaky job keeping it under wraps, you two.
05:27I'm about to coin TikTok panic as an actual condition because that's what we all went
05:32through on January 18th when the platform went dark after the Supreme Court upheld the
05:37ban.
05:38People freaked out and then service was restored less than a day later with the platform thanking
05:43President Trump for getting involved.
05:45So is that it?
05:47Well, not quite.
05:48The TikTok we knew and loved may look a bit different with new restrictions and to avoid
05:53a permanent ban, they may have to ramp up security measures or even sell half to an
05:58American firm.
05:59But will users even come back after some already deleted the app and switched to alternatives
06:04like Regno?
06:05We'll have to wait and see.
06:08One of Hollywood's golden age actresses just celebrated a big milestone.
06:12Legendary star of the Byrds, Tippi Hedren turned 95 this week.
06:16She was surrounded by her family, including her daughter, Melanie Griffith, who says mom
06:20is happy, healthy and feisty.
06:22Famous friends like Demi Moore and Rita Wilson flooded the comments with Tippi love and we're
06:27sending ours too.
06:29Now it's the sit down with Gina Rodriguez.
06:31Hi Gina.
06:33You have joined the cast of Will Trent for season three and OMG, we have so much to cover.
06:38Had you watched it at all before joining the show?
06:40When I had been asked to join the show, I hadn't seen it yet and of course I had to
06:45do my work.
06:46I've known Ramon for many, many years and I wanted to work with him so badly.
06:50And he had said to me when my last show didn't get picked up, he was like, come play with
06:54me on mine.
06:55And I was like, oh, that'd be awesome.
06:57Then flash forward a few weeks and they were asking me to come play and I was like, oh
07:01my God, that happened.
07:02I'm not going to lie to you.
07:04Will Trent, AKA Ramon Rodriguez is so fine.
07:06What's it like working with him?
07:08Oh my God, that's a, he is a very handsome man.
07:11Yes, you are not wrong.
07:12He is very handsome and just loving and wonderful and kind and smart and meticulous with his
07:21work.
07:22He cares so much.
07:23I felt instantly welcomed.
07:26And how could we talk Will Trent without mentioning the true star of the show, Miss Betty White,
07:31the dog.
07:32We heard her real name is Bluebell and she's actually British.
07:35That is funny.
07:36Is she a total diva on set?
07:38I can't, I can't with all of this.
07:43So she is like old, you know, she's old.
07:46She's, so she's wise.
07:48She's older.
07:49She's got wisdom.
07:51She's got patience.
07:54She is the cutest little thing on the planet.
07:56I just absolutely love the dog.
07:57I'm a dog mom myself.
07:59I vibe with all dogs.
08:01I shared a trailer with her.
08:03We got tight.
08:04I was told I couldn't look Betty in the eye because Betty would come to me over anybody
08:09else.
08:10They were like, do not look her in the eye because she's going to come to you.
08:12She likes you too much.
08:14And I was like, so I wouldn't look her in the eye.
08:16I'd be like, okay, here we go.
08:19You know, we can't talk to you without asking about your son, Charlie, he is the sweetest
08:23little boy.
08:24You must be the happiest mama in the world.
08:26I want to post everything about him, but I limited and like, I know at some point I'm
08:30going to have to stop because it's his, you know, it's, it's his life, but I'm just so
08:36in love.
08:37What's the latest milestone he's hitting?
08:39Well, he hasn't turned two yet.
08:41He's about to turn two in February.
08:43He speaks in full sentences.
08:45The little boy is so eloquent.
08:47His communication is unbelievable and I'm so grateful for it because he communicates
08:51what is, what he wants, what he needs, his boundaries.
08:54I mean, he's teaching me boundaries.
08:57It's just really, I'm not teaching him anything.
09:00He's teaching me everything.
09:01Okay.
09:02So between you and your husband, Joe, who was the biggest softie?
09:06Me?
09:07Oh, my husband is so much more disciplined than I thought he was going to be.
09:11I'm a, I'm a massive, I mean, he's my, that's my baby.
09:15I'm so breastfeeding.
09:16That kid is attached to me.
09:17We're attached to each other.
09:18It's going to happen.
09:19We're going to have to be like pulled apart and it's going to happen anyway.
09:22So I'm not trying to force it sooner than it needs to, but that's my, oh, I just, I'm
09:29afraid to have a second because of how much I love this guy.
09:32Like I already feel guilty about not being for available to him at all times.
09:39As someone raising a child, how do you channel positivity and bravery for your kid?
09:44I think by allowing myself to feel everything and validating whatever comes up for myself
09:50because there was so much of my upbringing and I love, I, my parents just killed it.
09:56I'm learning.
09:57I learned so much from them.
09:58They do feel like, you know, to feel is to heal instead of being like, no, we have to
10:03be like happy.
10:04And we have to be like, you know, I allow him to go through his emotions and I just
10:08try to hold space for him.
10:09And I'm trying to learn how to do that for myself.
10:13We don't want to let you go, but to finish up, I'm going to put 10 seconds on the clock
10:16and you can promote any one of your projects.
10:18Ready?
10:19Go.
10:20Well, trend is absolutely awesome.
10:21And I had the absolute pleasure to join them for season three.
10:25It is so bomb.
10:26I can't wait for you guys to see and to experience and tell me what you think.
10:30Gina, thank you so much for joining us today.
10:34Same to you.
