“That ’70s Show” first aired on Fox in August 1998 and lasted for eight seasons before coming to a close in May 2006. The popular comedy provided iconic lines and hysterical scenes. And let’s not forget that it also paved the way for one of Hollywood’s favorite celebrity couples, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher.

Most of the main cast members from “That ’70s Show” continue to act, but have also ventured into writing books, directing, and producing.

Nov 13, 2019

1. Demi Lovato appears to be off the market. The “Sorry Not Sorry” singer posted a photo of model Austin Wilson giving her a kiss on Instagram Tuesday night with the caption, “My [heart emoji].”

Wilson, 25, also shared another mirror selfie of him and Lovato, 27, with the caption, “My love.” Fans and friends of the pop star immediately congratulated her on her new relationship.

Actress Debra Messing commented under the photo, “Gorgeous.” Stylist Maeve Reilly wrote, “Ohhhh there they are.” It is unclear how long Lovato and Wilson have been dating or how they met. A rep for Lovato could not be reached for comment.

However, Wilson recently shared a tribute on Instagram to Lovato’s friend Thomas — who died in October after a battle with addiction — so it seems Wilson and Lovato share the same circle of friends. Lovato was most recently linked to “Bachelorette” alum Mike Johnson. The pair shared a few flirty exchanges on social media over the summer, but the romance ultimately fizzled out after Johnson, 31, opened up about their private dates and revealed Lovato is a “really good kisser.” Lovato also famously dated Wilmer Valderrama for six years, but the couple split in June 2016. They have remained good friends.

2. Lamar Odom’s son, Lamar Morales-Odom Jr., called out his dad on Instagram following the former NBA baller’s announcement that he is engaged to Sabrina Parr.

“Not a [text] or phone call to see how people who’ve known this dude his whole life, to see how we would feel or react,” Morales-Odom, 17, wrote in a now-deleted Instagram comment Monday night. “knew shawty for 4 months and already got you twisted, fam n friends already don’t approve of homegirl but she already got your ass in a sunken place. Shame family gotta find out on social media but that’s been how life been all the time as a son of an odom.”

The former “Dancing with the Stars” contestant, 40, took to Instagram to reveal his engagement, apparently before sharing the news with family and friends.In an apology from his son, the young Odom recognizes he went too far while admitting his frustration with being kept out of important events and decisions in his father’s life.

“Last night I was emotional seeing my father got engaged through social media,” Morales-Odom wrote Tuesday morning. “I was hurt and caught off guard. At the end of the day, I am a teenager, that is becoming a young man. I have to be responsible for what I post, I have nothing but love for my dad and want what’s best for him.”

3. 'They deserve each other!' Kanye West comes under fire for taking his Sunday Service to the Houston megachurch of controversial televangelist Joel Osteen. Kanye West will take his Sunday Service to televangelist Joel Osteen's Houston-based Lakewood Church this week.The rapper has come under fire for teaming up with the controversial preacher, who has been criticized for reaping in millions in donations every year, yet failed to help those most in need on their doorstep.

Osteen famously refused to open the doors to the megachurch, which has space for at least 16,000, to evacuees of Hurricane Harvey. Critics joked that Kanye, who is also no stranger to controversy and once called slavery a 'choice', teaming up with the televangelist was 'an early warning sign of the apocalypse.' Many said the pair 'deserved each other.'

West and a choir will perform in the 7pm Sunday Service at the religious institution, Donald Iloff, Jr., a spokesperson for the church, told the Houston Chronicle Tuesday. West, 43, and Osteen, 56, will chat earlier at the 11am service Sunday for about 15-20 minutes, Iloff said, adding Osteen 'will talk about Kanye’s journey to his faith.'

4. Sarah Palin and Todd Palin‘s divorce after 31 years of marriage just got even more shocking. The 2008 vice presidential candidate, 55, revealed in an interview with Christian broadcaster Dr. James Dobson, that she learned the news from an email sent by one of Todd’s attorney — not from her husband of over three decades. Todd, as HollywoodLife previously told you, filed for divorce on his 55th birthday, September 6. But the initial email from Todd’s attorney came in June, according to the former Alaska governor. “I found out from an email from an attorney saying that she was hired and that was on June 19th, I’ll never forget it,” Sarah said in her November 12 interview with Dr. James Dobson’s Family Talk. Then on Todd’s birthday, a week after our 31st anniversary is when he filed, yeah. Oh, yeah. It’s not easy to talk about.”

Sarah and her five kids whom she shares with Todd, were understandably distraught by his decision. “It was devastating. I thought I got shot,” she confessed in her interview. “I’m sure so many of you either — maybe you’ve been through [divorce] or you have people whom you love — you’ve witnessed how horrible it is. But I just think, wow, maybe except for the death of a child, I don’t know what could be more… Yeah, it hurts.” But despite these two egregious acts, Sarah told the Christian author that they’re not finalizing their divorce just yet. “It’s not over yet… we’re going through counseling now, so it’s not over, over,” she said. “Attorneys are getting rich off of us and I don’t like that whole system. It makes no sense to me.”

Sarah and Todd eloped and had five kids together — Bristol, Willow, Track, Piper, and Trigg, as well as give grandchildren. At 11-years-old, Trigg is their only minor, and the couple share joint custody. She mentioned that their children are not happy with what they’re “witnessing,” motivating her and Todd to work on their marriage. Todd’s divorce papers cite “incompatibility of temperament between the parties such that they find it impossible to live together as husband and wife.”

5. Tamra Judge attended therapy with her 33-year-old son Ryan Vieth in the Nov. 12 episode of ‘The Real Housewives of Orange County’ and they both emotionally opened up about their rough past as mother and son.

It was an intense episode of The Real Housewives of Orange County on Nov. 12 and it all had to do with Tamra Judge, 52, and her son Ryan Vieth, 33. The concerned mother joined Ryan for a therapy session with Dr. Mcayla Sarno in a powerful scene and admitted she feels like she let him down when he was growing up and has fears about his unhappiness now. The reality star encouraged Ryan to go to therapy earlier in the season of the show after he admitted to feeling stuck and she was invited to attend one of his sessions to discuss their relationship.

“He’s not in a good headspace and I hate to see him struggle,” Tamra said in the episode. “I feel like he’s at a point in his life when he’s just numb to life. When Ryan gets overloaded with things, he just kind of shuts down. He’s at that point in his life right now where he’s not happy, and I want to see him happy.”

She became emotional when Dr. Sarno asked her to describe what it was like for Ryan growing up, which led to her admitting her guilt. “I was 17 when I got pregnant with Ryan,” she explained in a shaky, tearful voice. “I was still in high school.” She went on to talk about getting married to Ryan’s father and it lasting “probably a year”.

“Ryan and I were alone, the two of us, for 13 years” she continued. “I carry guilt ’cause I feel like I let him down. I look at my kids now and the opportunities that they have. I got two kids in college now. Ryan never… He ran out of the house at 18 ’cause he couldn’t stand his stepdad. He doesn’t want to be controlled, he doesn’t want to be told what to do, so he fights life.”

In an on-camera interview, Ryan also admitted to feeling resentment toward his other siblings because although he didn’t have the worst life, he feels they received more opportunities than he did. After raising Ryan alone, Tamra married her second husband, Simon Barney in 1998 and had three children with him, including Sidney Barney, 20, Spencer Barney, 18, and Sophia Barney, 13, before they divorced in 2011.

Ryan became a father four years ago when his daughter, Ava, was born from a previous relationship and Tamra also touched upon how seeing him with his own child affects her. “You are a good dad,” she said to him as they both cried in the session. “But I see that he’s putting all of his energy — all of it — into her. He is so troubled by his past that he doesn’t want her to have that life. “I can look at my son’s eyes and see he’s just not himself,” she later said in a confessional. “He just wants to protect this little girl so much, like just smother her, and he doesn’t let other people in. He isolates himself with Ava, and it’s starting to concern me.”

Perhaps the most emotional part of the session was when Dr. Sarno read Ryan’s written down beliefs to Tamra. “I’m a bad person, worthless. I’m a failure. Can’t succeed. Powerless. I don’t belong. I don’t matter,” the list read. “It just makes me wanna die,” Tamra responded in her confessional. “I worry that one day Ryan might commit suicide. That’s my biggest, biggest fear.” Tamra later told her husband Eddie Judge, 46, about the session and praised his wife even though she was clearly upset about the difficult situation. “Tamra’s a great mom with all her children. Every kid is different,” he said on camera. “Some need to be coddled, some need to be motivated, some need a kick in the ass. When you’re struggling with your childhood issues as a man, I don’t think you’re a man, k? So just get over it, move on, grow up, take care of your responsibilities. That’s life.”

8 Highlights From Demi Lovato's New Documentary: Simply Complicated

Her 78-minute documentary movie, Simply Complicated, premiered Tuesday, giving fans a raw look at her road to healing. Directed by Hannah Lux Davis and filmed over the course of seven weeks from early 2017, it covers everything from her eating disorder for her sobriety, as well as her first big heartbreak.

Here, E! News chooses eight highlights from Simply Complicated:

1. Lovato Tried Cocaine for the First Time in Age 17

Lovato was driven by a student peer into partying after being bullied for many years in college. She drank alcohol and smoked marijuana, and she tried cocaine around the time she worked for the Disney Channel. Lovato's mother warned her the medication could quit her heart, but the Sonny With a Chance actress says she "did it anyhow," explaining, "I loved it. I felt out of control with all the coke the very first time that I did it." Addiction runs in her family. "My father was an addict and an alcoholic," Lovato says of her biological father. "I figure I always searched for what he found in alcohol and drugs because it fulfilled him and he decided that over a family."

2. The Jonas Brothers Tried to Stage an Intervention

"It was actually the Jonas Brothers waving the flag, also saw Demi veering in another direction," Lovato's manager, John Taylor, says. In 2010, the singer hit a backup dancer, Alex "Shorty" Welch, on a plane, also entered rehab shortly after that. According to Lovato, Welch had tattled on her for casting a hotel party to. Lovato, who had been large, "manipulated" Kevin Jonas Sr.. into identifying Welch. "I remember thinking, 'I'm going to conquer this bitch up.'"

Until that point, Nick Jonas thought he'd helped Lovato take charge of her life--particularly as her connection with his brother Joe Jonas "had become really complicated." As he explains, "I had been playing with the bridge...It became very great between I and her for a while, growing closer than we have ever been. I remember thinking in my mind I felt a little pride like selfishly maybe I had been helping her [get] back to function as Demi we understand and love. 'She isn't going to do anything crazy. She will be OK,'" he recalls. "And then the episode [between Welch] happened."

3. Rehab Didn't Work the First Time

Lovato received inpatient treatment for the very first time in 2010, but the episode with Welch resulted in some two-month "bender" if she had been "using every day." At 18 years old, she says, "I just came to a breaking point; the subsequent 12 months were incredibly tough." She left rehab with a "glow" that disappeared fast. "I wasn't working my program. I was not prepared to get sober. I had been sneaking it on planes, sneaking it in bathrooms, sneaking it during the night," she states. "Nobody knew."

Xanax and mixing cocaine had near deadly effects, one night. "I started to choke a small bit, and my heart began racing. I remember thinking, 'Oh my God, I'm overdosing at the moment,'" she says. Her supervisor, Phil McIntyre, states she'd interviews regarding her sobriety while high. "She had been on atmosphere promoting this new lifestyle," he states. "I was like, 'You are so full of it.'"

Lovato knew she was burning bridges. "I was using while I had a sober partner, and that I went through like 20 sober partners. I was craving medication or on drugs. I was not easy to use," that the "Heart Attack" singer states. "It is embarrassing to look back at the person I was."

4. She Spent Time in a Psych Ward

While in Palm Springs, Lovato's expert says that the singer had to be hospitalized after locking herself and swallowing pills. "The nurse is assessing her in. The bottle of pills is there, '' she grabs the tablets, she says and subsequently downs all the tablets, 'You f--king bitch! If I only attempted to kill myself, why do you provide me access to tablets?'" The specialist recalls. Lovato was admitted to the psychiatric ward of the hospital but refused to find clean. "I did not feel anything. I didn't feel guilty. I didn't feel embarrassed," she says. Lovato continued to use drugs and even faked drug tests employing other people's urine. "I'd lie straight to their faces," she recalls.

At her lowest, Lovato encouraged two "random people" to party inside her hotel room and got "really, very drunk" together prior to a flight in 2012. "I was so drunk, I vomited in the rear of the automobile service on the way to the airport to perform on American Idol," she states. Lovato was hungover for the show. "I felt like this was a second in my career where I did not care," she admits. "I simply knew that I needed to be high to get through whatever I was going through that point."

Mike Bayer, Lovato's personal-development coach, says that he detected a change in Lovato following her management team threatened to fire her if she did not become sober. "The most important fear to Demi is losing people--dropping people who she cares about and that adore her," he states. "That's the most important thing to Demi." As Lovato herself says in the documentary, "It was not a matter of if they're going to depart; it was they're leaving. 'There is nothing more we could do to you.'" Taking her specialist's advice, she switched over her mobile phone to cut off access to drug dealers. But she threw it into a vase of water and smashed it on a plate. Her manager has the device that is destroyed. "It had been the start of the practice of surrendering," Lovato says.

5. She Still Loves Ex-Boyfriend Wilmer Valderrama

It is no secret celebrity Wilmer Valderrama has been Lovato's first true love. "I met him on Jan. 11, 2010. I thought, 'I must have him,' but that I was only 17 and that he was like, 'Get away from me,'" the singer says. "After I turned 18 we started dating. I believe it was love at first sight. We connected on a level that I've never correlated with anyone. He was just my rock, my all."

"I've never loved anyone like I loved Wilmer and I still adore him," she continues. But, after nearly six decades together, the couple announced they'd split in June 2016. "The sparks never faded, however, there are problems that I haven't defeated yet that I understand I will not conquer if I'm relying on someone else to care for the loneliness. I just was not prepared and there was so much in my life I had not explored yet...That was one of the reasons why we broke up since I have never been alone," that the "Give Your Heart a Break" singer describes. "It had nothing to do with falling from love. We decided collectively that we just likely are much better as friends."

Sometimes, she has regrets. "I do have moments where it's late at night, I am lonely and I wonder if I made the perfect decision since love is a gamble," she states. "I don't know whether I will lose him to get the rest of my life. I believe my heart is always with Wilmer. I believe it had been with Wilmer. I think that it is with Wilmer. I think it will be because you don't discuss six years with somebody, not give them a piece of your heart, and vice versa. I am pretty sure I am not likely to meet anyone that contrasts with him, but I'm trying to keep an open heart and open mind in regards to that."

6. She Doesn't imitate as Straight

Throughout a fitting, Lovato tells stylist Avo Yermagyan she has been using the invite-only dating program, Raya. "I'm on a relationship program with both guys and women. I'm open to human link, so if that's a male or female, it doesn't matter to me," she says. She doesn't have a type, per se, however, she is attracted to athletes. "There is something sexy about somebody putting in all of their physical strength into their passion," she says. And when it comes to getting down and dirty, the singer says, "There's a certain stigma about women having casual sexual and for me personally, I believe it's my body, it is my choice, it is exciting, it's a relationship with somebody and it's fun."

Lovato is not reluctant to adopt her side, either. "When I am comfortable in my own skin, I feel confident," she teases. "When I feel convinced, I feel sexy, and once I feel sexy, watch out!"

7. She's Still Battling an Eating Disorder

"When I was in a relationship with Wilmer I went three years without fixing, and when we broke up, that's among the very first things I did," Lovato confesses to McIntyre. "The less I have to think about food, the easier it is to go about using a regular life, and I do not want to let anybody down, so when I do have moments once I slide up, I feel very ashamed. What began the relapse was lost Wilmer. When I feel lonely my heart feels hungry and I end up binging."

Lovato adds, "I don't know how to determine how to be lonely."

The bingeing began at age 8, following Madison de la Garza was born. "A lot of the attention was taken off me and on my little sister," she states of the actress. "I had started working at that time and had been under a lot of stress, therefore I would bake cookies for my loved ones. I would eat all of them and no one could have some time to eat. That was my very first memory of meals being that medication for me."

Lovato believes her eating disorder started after she had been exposed to intense bullying as a child when a group of "pure f--king wicked" classmates began a campaign urging her to commit suicide. "Food is still the biggest challenge in my life," she tells a coach. "I don't wish to give it the power to state it controls my every thought, but it is something I am always considering"

Food makes Lovato think of "body image, exactly what I wish I could be eating, what I want I could be eating next, exactly what I want I didn't eat," she acknowledges. "It is constant. I get envious towards people who do not struggle with an eating disorder since I think my life would be so much simpler."

8. She Doesn't Want to Keep Any Longer Secrets

"Looking back, it was hard for anybody," Lovato says of being a child star, "let alone a kid."

Actually, McIntyre says, "I could connect the dots and determine that there was a massive quantity of pressure. She lived two lives. Here she was clean all types of clauses that are moral, about the Disney Channel, and intense [scrutiny] about behavior. When the camera stops rolling, she is living another life, and she could not really be herself. She couldn't be a normal teenager."

For the first time in her life, Lovato is not afraid to talk about her reality. "The past decade has taught me a lifetime of course. I have learned that secrets make you ill. I am learning how to be a voice and not a victim. I've learned sex is organic. I have heard that love is necessary, heartbreak is unavoidable and isolation is barbarous," that the 25-year-old pop superstar says in the documentary. "I've discovered that the key to being happy would be to tell your facts and be OK without all the answers."

"While we were on tour Demi and Joe [Jonas]'s relationship had become really complicated so I was playing the bridge... It became really good you know between she and I for a while and growing closer than we've ever been. I remember thinking in my head I felt a bit of pride about it, like selfishly maybe I was helping her back to being the Demi we know and love. She's not going to do anything crazy, she'll be fine and then this episode happened."

The "episode" is when...

3. Demi Attacked Her Dancer For Outing Her Adderall Usage

Lovato recalls:

"I was in Colombia, on the Camp Rock 2 tour and I invited a bunch of people to dinner. I paid for all the alcohol, someone ended up getting weed, I was on Adderall and we had trashed the hotel... The hotel was threatening us, they went to some of the dancers and asked what happened. And I think they told on me for using Adderall. Someone told Kevin Jonas Sr., Phil [her manager] and my dad... I was very upset, now it was out I was on Adderall. The next day I was in a lot of trouble, I remember going to Kevin Sr. and saying, 'Listen, I want to thank whoever told on me because I know they were just worried about me and I just want to know who told you'... I manipulated him into telling me who it was and he said it was Shorty. When he said Shorty, I remember thinking, I'm about to beat this bitch up. She had already boarded the plane, I just went up to her and it was like a blur."'

After the attack, she remembers:

"Everyone was freaking out. I just remember sitting down, texting my mom I'm sorry. and I slept the whole day. I just came to the breaking point."

4. She Still Loves Ex Wilmer Valderrama

Although they announced their break up in June 2016, Demi says:

"I've never loved anybody like I loved Wilmer and I still love him... I met him on Jan. 11, 2010. I thought ‘I have to have him,' but I was only 17 and he was like, 'Get away from me'... When I turned 18 we started dating. I think it was love at first sight, we connected on a level that I've never connected with anybody before, he was just my rock, my everything."'

She adds:

"I think my heart is always with Wilmer, I think it was with Wilmer, I think it is with Wilmer, I think it will be. Because you don't share six years with somebody and not give them a piece of your heart and vice versa. I'm pretty sure that I'm not going to meet anybody that compares to him but I'm trying to keep an open heart and open mind when it comes to that."

5. Lovato Still Struggles With An Eating Disorder

After breaking up with the That '70s Show alum, the singer admits she purged to deal with her emotions.

"When I was in a relationship with Wilmer I went three years without purging and when we broke up that's one of the first things I did... The less I have to think about food, the easier it is to go about having a normal life and I don't want to let anybody down so when I do have moments when I slip up, I feel very ashamed. What started the relapse was missing Wilmer. And when I feel lonely my heart feels hungry and I end up binging."

She confesses "food is still the biggest challenge in my life."

6. Yes, She Likes Both Men AND Women

"I am on a dating app with both men and girls... I am open to human connection so whether that's through a male or female, it doesn't matter to me... I do like athletes, there is something sexy about someone putting in all of their physical strength into their passion."

7. Demi Lived In A Sober Living Home While She Was A Judge On The X-Factor

Her manager recalls:

"While she was a judge, she's living in a sober apartment with roommates... She's having to do chores. She has no cell phone. She's completely and totally submitted to the process of recovery."
