00:03Hey, it's People in Time.
00:05We've got Coachella Week 1 under our fringe-covered belt.
00:09There were memorable meetups, epic and nostalgic performances,
00:12including Justin Bieber's, which was unconventional and a little divisive.
00:17Just Biebs and his laptop against the world.
00:22His wife Hailey Bieber and their son Jack Blues were there to cheer Dad on.
00:26Y'all catch that adorable shout-out?
00:28Hailey, babe, hallelujah.
00:31Baby Jack, hallelujah.
00:33Elsewhere, Katy Perry was joined by boyfriend Justin Trudeau,
00:37seemingly having a fun weekend before news of this broke.
00:40Yikes.
00:41Sabrina Carpenter faced some backlash of her own after her performance,
00:45which included some famous Hollywood faces.
00:48She's since apologized, and now the show must go on.
00:52Week 2, you're up.
00:54Britney Spears is putting her health first.
00:56After getting arrested for a DUI last month, she voluntarily checked herself into rehab.
01:01We're hearing that people close to her encouraged her to seek treatment,
01:04including her sons Sean Preston and Jaden James, who she shares with her ex, Kevin Federline.
01:10An insider says Britney understands the seriousness of her situation and felt this was the best step moving forward.
01:16Fans have been concerned for years over Brit's erratic social media posts, so hopefully now she's getting the help she
01:22needs.
01:24It's been almost a week since the Artemis 2 crew splashed back to Earth.
01:32And no one's happier to have them home than Christina Cooke's dog, Sadie.
01:36Talk about a warm welcome.
01:41So much love to the moon and back.
01:43And this isn't the first time Christina's had a long-awaited reunion with her pup.
01:48Back in 2020, she lived aboard the International Space Station for almost an entire year.
01:53That trip landed her the record for the longest space flight ever by a woman.
01:58So happy these two are back together once again.
02:02A very public clash is unfolding this week between Donald Trump and the Pope.
02:06Trump took direct aim at the pontiff multiple times, calling him weak on crime and terrible for foreign policy.
02:13The attacks came after Leo spoke out for peace and against escalating conflict.
02:17Trump's inner circle is backing him up, but the Pope isn't matching the president's tone.
02:22Instead, he responded calmly.
02:25I do not look at my role as being a political politician.
02:29I don't want to get into a debate with him.
02:32I will continue to speak out loud against war, looking to promote peace.
02:36That didn't stop Trump from hitting back again,
02:39sarcastically asking if someone would let the Pope know what Iran has done.
02:43Amid all this, he also posted an AI image of himself as a Jesus-like figure healing others.
02:49Unsurprisingly, it sparked immediate backlash, with critics calling it offensive and inappropriate.
02:54Shortly after, the post was deleted.
02:56And Trump's response?
02:58I thought it was me as a doctor and had to do with Red Cross as a Red Cross worker
03:02there, which we support.
03:04I don't know about that one.
03:06And from that feud to some new blonde beef.
03:10Alex Earl, hey girl.
03:14The passive aggressive reposts and the likes and the commenting on things.
03:22I gotta call you out here.
03:24You're gonna need to get specific and just say what you gotta say about me.
03:29So you might be wondering what this is about.
03:31And some of you may even be asking, these are two different people?
03:35Well, yes.
03:36This is Alex Cooper, host of the Call Her Daddy podcast.
03:39And this is Alex Earl, famous influencer who competed on Dancing with the Stars last year.
03:43So prior to Alex Cooper posting that clip we just watched, Alex Earl commented on a TikTok that called Cooper
03:50awful and accused her of profiting off women's vulnerabilities.
03:53But this goes even further back to February of 2025, when Cooper's Unwell Network dropped Earl's Hot Mess podcast.
04:00At that time, Cooper denied they were having issues, but Earl leaned in and now she's clearly ready to talk
04:07some more.
04:08Can't we all just get along?
04:11Nicole Kidman is taking on a very different new role.
04:14The Oscar winning actress is starting to be a deaf doula.
04:17That's a non-medical role which helps support people at the end of their lives.
04:21And for her, this is deeply personal.
04:23She says as her mother was dying in 2024, her mom was lonely and there was only so much comfort
04:29her family could give.
04:30Nick says she thought, I wish there was someone that could sit impartially and just provide solace and care.
04:36That moment basically changed everything for her.
04:38And now she's turning her grief into purpose by stepping into that role herself.
04:45Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are down under again.
04:48This marks their first Australia trip since their big royal tour in 2018, except this time they flew commercial.
04:55Can you believe that their kids are sitting this one out?
04:59But it's all good.
05:00Mom and dad are keeping busy.
05:01First, they swung by Melbourne's Royal Children's Hospital, which Harry's mom Diana also visited decades ago.
05:07They also met with veterans and their family across multiple days, which as we know, is a cause close to
05:13Harry's heart.
05:14And Meghan split off for a solo visit to a women's homeless shelter where she was welcomed with open arms.
05:20You are so nice.
05:22She also made a surprise appearance on Master Chef Australia as a guest judge.
05:26Meanwhile, Harry had some solo fun of his own at a men's health charity event where he surprised everyone when
05:32he was asked if his kids liked the Australian group The Wiggles.
05:36The Wiggles?
05:37Yeah.
05:37Do the pro.
05:38Kitty.
05:39Kitty.
05:40They'll wrap things up this weekend in Sydney where Meghan is headlining a luxury girls weekend retreat, including yoga, meditation,
05:47dinner and dancing.
05:49Hudson Williams is having a big and thirsty week.
05:52First, he showed off his rock-hard abs in Lowe's new music video.
05:56I want you like a mad, mad woman.
06:01He stars alongside fellow actor Lola Tong, figure skater Alyssa Lu, and Megan Skindel from Cat's Eye.
06:07And let's just say he's leaving little to the imagination.
06:10Then he worked up a swag in a new spot for Peloton.
06:13Is it anyone now?
06:15And the ad, Hudson's chisel physique and workout skills are on display.
06:19And despite the blisters, it was totally worth it for him and for us.
06:25And Sandra Bullock has entered the chat.
06:27She's officially on Instagram after years of staying off social media.
06:31Her first post, a playful video caption, Midnight Somewhere.
06:35That's a clear nod to the Practical Magic sequel out this fall.
06:38And she's got a lot of content to catch up on.
06:41So she immediately took to the comments tapping in Channing Tatum, Joey King, Jennifer Aniston and Nicole Kidman on two
06:49separate posts.
06:50Plus one on her own grid.
06:52All this while she was racking up followers.
06:55Over four million in her first 24 hours.
06:58Now that's going viral.
07:00Now it's the sit down with Blair Underwood.
07:02Hey Blair.
07:04Your book, A Soldier's Wife, My Mother, The Marvelous Mrs. Marilyn A. Underwood is out now.
07:09What inspired you to pen this book about her?
07:12When I tell people my mom's memoir is coming out, they ask, well, was she an actress?
07:16Was she famous?
07:17No, she was just my mama.
07:19And she's the person who inspired me.
07:20My parents are my heroes, really.
07:22And she is the woman who instilled in me everything that I became and the possibility of hope.
07:30And she taught me how to dream and how to manifest those dreams and make it all possibilities.
07:36So the reason I wrote it was to really complete her dream, if you will.
07:42What advice or wisdom that helped you during grief can you pass along to others?
07:45I have since heard Joe Biden say this, but it really helped in that moment.
07:50And he said, there's now is not the time, but there's going to come a time when the mention of
07:55her name and her spirit will bring a smile to your face before it brings a tear to your eye.
08:03The pain you feel when you're in grief that makes you hurt is because the love was so deep and
08:09because she loved so hard, which taught me as a child to love and as an adult to love.
08:14What the grief is about is for those of us left behind.
08:17Switching gears, you're in One Spoon of Chocolate, written and directed by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan.
08:23It's cool, because like RZA, as you said, from the Wu-Tang Clan, he wrote this and he directed it.
08:27And Quentin Tarantino was very much and is very much a mentor of his.
08:30So I love that he came on board and he's presenting it and attached his name to it to elevate
08:35it to a certain point.
08:36This movie, One Spoon of Chocolate, really is an Avengers game.
08:41It really is about vigilante justice and a whole lot of revenge.
08:47You put that man in a coma, he is a bully.
08:50A movie like this has to win some sort of brownie points with your kids, right?
08:54You get brownie points with that.
08:55When you're down to the Wu-Tang Clan and with my kids and a whole lot of folks.
08:58Wu-Tang Clan and RZA are like, oh no, that's cool.
09:01Yeah, I can go off and do all kinds of things that I'm having a great time with that they
09:04don't know anything about or care about.
09:06But whenever it's somebody they know or get excited about, you definitely get brownie points with the kids.
09:11Do they have a fave project of yours?
09:14A lot of them like The Long Legs, which was a horror film that came out last year with Nicolas
09:18Cage.
09:18And I was doing The Ages of S.H.I.E.L.D., which is the Marvel Universe.
09:22You know, they really were into that.
09:23So they don't mind seeing their dad on the silver screen then?
09:27They don't mind watching it.
09:28They don't like seeing my naked body when I, like, sex in the city or whatever else or some of
09:32the other ones I've done.
09:33They refuse and I refuse for them.
09:36Mmm.
09:38That's spicy.
09:38Okay.
09:39To end, we're going to put 10 seconds on the clock.
09:41Promote anything you want.
09:42Ready?
09:43Go.
09:44I'm just excited that the book, my mom's memoir, The Soldier's Wife, The Marvelous Mrs. Marilyn Underwood,
09:51and also talk about One Spoon of Chocolate, which hits theaters May 1st by RZA and the Wu-Tang Clan
09:57and Quentin Tarantino.
10:00Blair, thank you so much for being here today.
10:03Bye.
