#MAGFAB: Sandra Bernhard Talks MARTY SUPREME, Her Evolving Comedy and More for TOWN & COUNTRY Magazine
Sandra Bernhard is the March cover star of TOWN & COUNTRY, which is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year. Decades after she charmed Scorsese, flirted with Letterman, and made friends with Madonna, Bernhard is still giving Babe Paley—she’s giving high glamour, she’s moving forward— and the audience loves it. With a newly announced role on THE WHITE LOTUS Season 4 and recent appearances in MARTY SUPREME and SEVERANCE, Bernhard shows no signs of slowing down. “The Mouth that Roared” by Mike Albo, is on townandcountrymag.com now and in the March issue, available everywhere by February 24.
On being on the cover of Town & Country: “It’s ironic that I’m going to be on the cover of Town & Country,” she says, “because, of course, I would look at the magazine and think wistfully, I’ll never be that kind of woman.”
On how poking fun at the famous and fashionable has changed: “It’s harder—much harder,” she says. “Everybody thinks they’re a star, and the people who really are talented, they’ve fallen by the wayside.”
On resisting the “iconic” label and continuing to evolve in her work: “I appreciate it, but I don’t want to be seen as, like, iconic,” she says. “What I want from people is for them to come to my shows and know that I’m still loving it and writing and creating. Sometimes the work just gets more compelling as the person goes along.”
On what’s next: “People always ask, ‘Do you have a five-year plan,” she says. “I’m like, ‘How can you have a five-year plan in show business?’ You can get hired on a TV series, and six months later it’s canceled. It’s sort of out of my hands.” She stabs her fork into her greens. “The only plan I have—and it’s endless—is writing material, doing my shows, staying relevant, keeping myself strong.”
On knowing her limits: “I’ve never been the girl next door,” she says.

#RHOP: ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ star Wendy Osefo on fraud charges: ‘I am not OK’
“Real Housewives of Potomac” star Wendy Osefo revealed she is “absolutely terrified” of her fraud charges during the first part of the reality show’s Season 10 reunion.
Clad in a bright-red sequined gown with a red feather shawl, Osefo told her castmates during Sunday night’s episode that she spent the night she was arrested in jail and that she is “not OK.”
Osefo and her husband, Eddie Osefo, were arrested last October for allegedly lying about a burglary at their Finksburg home to defraud insurance companies. The couple were indicted by a Carroll County grand jury and charged with seven counts of insurance fraud, eight counts of conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and one count of making a false statement to a police officer.
The Osefos told a sheriff’s deputy in spring 2024 that their home had been broken into while they were vacationing in Jamaica, with thieves allegedly stealing $450,000 worth of designer handbags and jewelry. But their story began to unravel, prosecutors claim, when deputies discovered that the couple had allegedly returned numerous items to stores for refunds prior to the claimed burglary.
Since the couples’ arrests, police have accused them of using aliases, including “Pam Oliver” and “Eddie Hennessy,” as well as 67 different credit and debit cards. Prosecutors alleged in a December hearing that the stars have “very little money” and were motivated to lie about the burglary because of their financial straits.
The arrests and charges took place after filming for Season 10 of the reality show had concluded. Because of that, the episode that aired Sunday began not on the reunion set in New York, but at the couple’s Carroll County home on Oct. 16, 2025, one week after the Osefos were arrested.
“I feel like I’m in a constant, like, nightmare,” Wendy Osefo said to her husband in the episode as she trudged into their living room. “The house doesn’t even feel the same.”
The couple, sitting on a couch in their large, recently renovated living room — the home renovation, which totaled $100,000, was a plot point on this season of the reality show — questioned whether their new legal troubles would affect their marriage.
“I just know after this incident, I’m not the same person,” Wendy Osefo told her husband. “And I hope that will be OK with you, because I’m not the same. I don’t think I’ll ever be the same.”
“God’s got us,” Eddie Osefo said. “We’re going to be OK.”
The episode then cut to the reunion set. Wendy Osefo arrived in her gown and host Andy Cohen acknowledged “serious things happening in your world.”
There wasn’t much Osefo could say about the ongoing case.
“I can say the investigation is still ongoing,” she said. “I can say that we have had court appearances. And you know, it has been a very trying time for my family.”
Osefo revealed during the reunion that she and her husband were arrested while their three children were at school. She said she was taking an afternoon nap and was awakened by her husband telling her the police were at their door.
“It was scary,” Osefo said about her night in jail. “You completely lose your autonomy.”
She slept in a cell with multiple people and declined to use the bathroom until she was released.
“I’m not OK,” Osefo told her castmates. “But I will be OK. My faith is what’s carrying me.”

Ex-Prince Andrew Arrested on Morning of His 66th Birthday
Police arrested the former Prince Andrew on Thursday, Feb. 19
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office
The update comes after Thames Valley Police confirmed it was investigating a complaint alleging that the former Duke of York shared confidential information related to his role as a trade envoy with Jeffrey Epstein
Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Feb. 9 that it would cooperate with any police inquiry
The former Prince Andrew, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, has been arrested.
A team of police officers arrived at the home where he is staying on King Charles' Sandringham estate in Norfolk on the morning of Thursday, Feb. 19 — Mountbatten-Windsor's 66th birthday.
Mountbatten-Windsor was exiled there after being ordered to leave his Royal Lodge home in Windsor by his brother the King, 77.
It was first reported by the BBC that he has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office.
Authorities are investigating Andrew in light of an allegation claiming that he shared confidential information with the late Jeffrey Epstein while acting as a trade envoy for the U.K.
Mountbatten-Windsor has consistently denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
In a statement, Thames Valley police said, "As part of the investigation, we have today (19/2) arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk."
"The man remains in police custody at this time," the statement continued, adding that they will not be naming the arrested man.
The news comes after the Thames Valley Police confirmed it was investigating a complaint alleging that the former Duke of York shared confidential information related to his role as a trade envoy with Epstein, the BBC reported on Feb. 9. The complaint was brought by the anti-monarchy group Republic, which reported King Charles' brother for "suspected misconduct in public office and breach of official secrets," the outlet said.
Republic argued that emails between Andrew and Epstein showed that the British prince shared confidential documents with Epstein relating to his role as the U.K.'s special representative for international trade and investment, a post he held from 2001 to 2011. The correspondence was released by the U.S. Department of Justice on Jan. 30 in the latest tranche of files relating to the ongoing investigation of Epstein. Trade envoys promote British business interests abroad and the job comes with a duty of confidentiality, even after one's term of office ends.
Epstein was an American financier and convicted sex offender who died in prison while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges in August 2019. Andrew's ties to him set his step back from public life in motion three months later; Queen Elizabeth's second son denied any wrongdoing regarding their relationship.
After Thames Valley Police confirmed it was assessing whether there were grounds for an investigation in light of the new emails between the two men, King Charles' office released a seismic statement vowing it would cooperate with law enforcement if approached about a probe.
"The King has made clear, in words and through unprecedented actions, his profound concern at allegations which continue to come to light in respect of Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor’s conduct. While the specific claims in question are for Mr. Mountbatten-Windsor to address, if we are approached by Thames Valley Police, we stand ready to support them as you would expect," Buckingham Palace said in a statement on Feb. 9.
"As was previously stated, Their Majesties’ thoughts and sympathies have been, and remain with, the victims of any and all forms of abuse," it continued, referencing the King and Queen Camilla, who is a tireless advocate for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse.
The palace statement notably addressed Andrew's "conduct" for the first time since he and his ex-wife, Sarah Ferguson, were mentioned several times in the latest tranche of Epstein files. The former couple divorced in 1996 after a decade of marriage and share daughters Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie, but continued to live together at Royal Lodge in Windsor after their split.
Andrew was evicted from Royal Lodge when the King stripped his royal titles and honors in October 2025, an unprecedented step by the sovereign amid new scrutiny of his brother's ties to Epstein
The former Duke of York stepped back from his working royal role in November 2019 following a bombshell BBC interview in which he discussed his relationship with Epstein. Queen Elizabeth stripped Andrew of his military titles and patronages in January 2022 after a judge rejected his attempt to have Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre’s sexual assault lawsuit against him dismissed.
Andrew has repeatedly denied Giuffre’s allegations and reached a settlement with her in 2022. She died by suicide in April 2025.
On Sunday, Feb. 15, the director of public prosecutions in the U.K., Stephen Parkinson, told The Sunday Times, “Nobody is above the law. It’s my job to enforce the law and I do so without fear or favor, and that is unaffected by the status of the individual concerned.”

‘The View’: Whoopi Goldberg Explains Why She’s in Jeffrey Epstein Files
At the top of the hour, Goldberg asked producers to show the email where her name appeared and invited audiences to read through the document, which discussed whether Epstein would want to offer her a plane ride during her travel plans.
“Now, in the name of transparency, can you put up my name is in the files? Yes. And what does it say? It says, ‘Whoopi needs a plane to get to Monaco, John Lennon‘s charity.’ It should say Julian Lennon‘s charity is paying for it. ‘They don’t want to charter, so they’re looking for private owners. Here’s the info,’ and they give all the information,” Goldberg explained. She went on to point out that he declined, and she never rode on Epstein’s plane.
She then told her cohosts, including Sara Haines and Joy Behar, that she felt people were twisting her association with Epstein based on her name being on the DOJ’s list, which includes people like her who had no actual association with Epstein.
“People are trying to turn me into… I wasn’t his girlfriend,” she said. “I wasn’t.”
Behar then countered that others on DOJ’s list of names have alleged ties to the child sex trafficker, saying, “Trump is on the list 38,000 times.”
“Well, I can’t speak to him, but I’m speaking about me because I’m getting dragged. People actually believe that I was with him. It’s like, honey, come on. Every man that I’ve ever been with, you’ve known about it because The Enquirer wrote about it. Your people wrote about this stuff. So no, I never had this, and no, I didn’t get on the plane,” Goldberg then said.

Quinton Aaron making progress in recovery from spinal stroke, disappointed ‘spiritual wife’ is married to another man
As the actor continues to recover from a health scare that left him temporarily on life support, he’s also putting together the pieces of a relationship he thought was truly real.
Quinton Aaron‘s recovery from a spinal stroke suffered at his Atlanta-area home last month has taken a good turn.
According to TMZ, the “Blind Side” actor is alert and regaining basic motor functions, such as writing and solving puzzles, and has even regained feeling and movement in his legs. While that is a major positive for the actor, there is one development he wants to make clear: he wants no contact with the woman who claimed to be his wife.
“I do NOT want to see Margaret at all,” Aaron has said repeatedly, according to his family.
Weeks ago, it was revealed that Margarita Aaron was found to be his “spiritual wife” and was still legally married to another man. The revelation prompted her to be barred from his hospital room.
“I’m OK with it. I’m at peace with this,” she told US Weekly. “Quinton and I pray a lot and believe in God and believe in a higher power. I can feel his presence telling me this will work itself out.”
Aaron says he’ll explain everything in “full detail” soon.
The latest update follows a series of strange revelations regarding the actor after he fell in his Atlanta home in late January while trying to walk up the stairs. He was hospitalized and placed on life support as doctors determined he suffered a spinal stroke and a blood infection. His family was fully unaware of how long he and Margaret had been an item, as the woman claims she and Aaron have been together since December 2024.
“We have raised some suspicions about the legitimacy of Quinton and Margarita’s marriage to each other, as well as her legitimacy as a registered nurse,” the family said. “We have found some alarming details.”
As he began his healing process, the family shared the news that Margarita had married another man, reportedly leaving the actor devastated. He remains focused on his recovery, surrounded by trusted loved ones.

“ANTM’s Tiffany Richardson Isn’t Forgiving Tyra Banks AT ALL!
In the docuseries, former “ANTM” judge Jay Manuel referred to the moment as the “most difficult moment on set I had ever experienced,” and claimed that “production staff literally just took Banks off set” after shooting had commenced. “Some of the things that were said were not well-intentioned,” he added. “I will probably never repeat the lines that were actually said in the room that day.”
Banks addressed the moment directly in the docuseries as well, saying that she “lost it” and that the specific moment of her outburst “was probably bigger than” Tiffany herself. “It was family, friends, society, Black girls, all the challenges that we have. So many people saying that we’re not good enough. I think all that was in that moment.”
Even though Banks hadn’t previously addressed the moment in public, Richardson has. In a 2017 BuzzFeed News profile, the former contestant went in-depth on her experience while taping the show and alleged that Banks also yelled at her “You can go back to your house and sleep on your mattress on the floor with your baby” during the interaction.
In a since-deleted IG post, Richardson issued something of a public missive toward Banks now that the encounter is being revisited in the public eye yet again. “Hold up @tyrabanks let’s keep it cute,” she wrote, referring to the model as a “lying ass tied ass bitch.” ”[Y]ou know how you treated me the whole time off and on camera, YOU WAS A BULLY!!!” she wrote. “You treated me like shit and said the nastiest things about me and my son. That is not how the argument went but YALL EDITED TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU CARED.”

Bad Bunny Lands First Starring Movie Roll Is Officially Coming Soon
Fresh from his Super Bowl halftime show, Bad Bunny has his sights set on a new stage entirely: the big screen.
First reported by Deadline on February 18, Bad Bunny will star in a new feature film titled Porto Rico. The movie is directed by Grammy-winning rapper René Pérez Joglar, also known as Residente, and produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu. Edward Norton, Viggo Mortensen, and Javier Bardem are slated to costar in what Deadline calls an “epic Caribbean western and historical drama.”
The project will mark Bad Bunny’s first time as a leading man after his supporting roles in Bullet Train, released in 2022, and Happy Gilmore 2, which premiered on Netflix last summer.
Porto Rico has been in development since 2023, when it was first touted as a drama based on 19th-century Puerto Rican revolutionary José Maldonado Román, called White Eagle. While it’s unclear if the project is still based on Román, a new press release (quoted by Deadline) touts the film as a blend of “historical scope with a visceral, lyrical approach and a gripping narrative inspired by true events.”
In a statement, Residente called the project a dream come true. “I have dreamed of making a film about my country since I was a child. Puerto Rico’s true history has always been surrounded by controversy.... This film is a reaffirmation of who we are—told with the intensity and honesty that our history deserves.”
Deadline reports that Benito’s costars Bardem, Norton, and Mortensen are inhabiting roles “connected to their respective origin countries,” with Bardem a native of Spain and Norton and Mortensen both from the United States. Mortensen is fluent in Spanish, having lived in Venezuela and Argentina throughout his upbringing.
Norton described Porto Rico as hailing from the same storytelling styles as other landmark crime epics. "This film sits in a tradition of films we deeply love, from The Godfather to Gangs of New York, that both thrill us with visceral drama and iconic characters and eras while also forcing us to face up to the shadow story under the American narrative of idealism," the actor said in a quote given to Deadline. "Everybody knows what a poet of language and rhythm René is. Now they’re going to see what a visual visionary he is as well. And bringing him and Bad Bunny together to tell the true story of Puerto Rico’s roots is going to be like a flame finding the stick of dynamite that’s been waiting for it."
Porto Rico will not be the first time Bad Bunny and Residente have worked together. In 2019, the two collaborated on the songs "Bellacoso" and "Afilando Los Cuchillos," the latter of which was a political protest against former governor Ricardo Rosselló. In 2020, Bad Bunny appeared in the music video for Residente's song "Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe."
Beyond starring as its leading man, it is unknown what role Bad Bunny will have in Porto Rico. He may portray José Maldonado Román, if the film is indeed a Román biopic. But the picture's themes of Puerto Rican nationalism and anticolonialism are squarely within his wheelhouse. The musician, who made history at the Grammys for the first Spanish-language record winning Album of the Year, is a pronounced social activist who uses music to bring attention to Puerto Rico's colonial history, economy, and conservation. At his Super Bowl show, Benito dressed up Levi's Stadium to resemble his island home, with flickering lights symbolizing the withdrawal of federal funding that keeps its power grid weakened in the aftermath of hurricanes.
Jesse Jackson’s Daughter Ashley Laverne Jackson Joins ‘A Different World’ Sequel
*A new chapter of “A Different World” is taking shape at Netflix, and Ashley Laverne Jackson is helping write it. The daughter of civil rights leader Jesse Jackson has joined the revival as a staff writer, securing a role she considers deeply personal.
“This is truly my dream job. I watched Denise Huxtable’s journey to Hillman College as a kid glued to ‘The Cosby Show’… by my late teens, when I fell in love with ‘A Different World,’ I was already imagining what the characters were doing after the finale,” said Jackson, Clutch Points reports.
“[The show] reinforced everything I was raised to value. With two HBCU graduates as parents, I grew up understanding the pride, purpose, and community that these institutions hold, but Hillman gave me a visual language for it. To work on this sequel and help build the next chapter of the universe is a professional honor. In some ways, I’ve been working toward this my entire life,” Jackson added.
The continuation centers on Deborah Wayne, portrayed by Maleah Joi Moon. As the youngest child of Whitley Gilbert and Dwayne Wayne, Deborah enrolls at Hillman College, the same historically Black university her parents once attended, and begins carving out her own identity during her freshman year. Netflix has given the production a 10-episode order, with filming already in progress.
Familiar faces from the original NBC run will reappear throughout the season. Kadeem Hardison, Jasmine Guy, Cree Summer, and Darryl M. Bell are set to reprise their roles in recurring capacities, reconnecting longtime viewers with Hillman’s legacy.
Creative leadership for the half-hour series comes from showrunner and executive producer Felicia Pride. “It is such an honor to be a part of bringing back this iconic show, one that I grew up on and which had a profound impact on my life. I am so proud of the work we’re doing to reimagine A Different World for beloved fans and new generations alike,” she stated.
Returning as executive producer and directing three episodes, including the premiere, is Debbie Allen. “There couldn’t be a better time than now to reboot A Different World,” Allen shared with Tudum. “Our show changed lives, tripled the enrollment of historically black colleges and gave a strong voice and platform for Young Black America.”
