(EXCLUSIVE) Annika Noelle Previews Her ‘Beautifully Bold Bachelorette Party’
It’s almost time for The Bold and the Beautiful’s Annika Noelle to tie the knot with Dear White People actor, John Patrick Amedori. The two revealed they had become engaged back in November of 2024. Now with the nuptials coming up shortly, Noelle has very special plans for her bachelorette party and the public is invited!
Because of her special connection and affinity for the LGBTQ+ community, Annika thought she would tie-in her bachelorette party alongside, ‘Bold and Beautiful’ fan club weekend and give back to the community and for a good cause.
So, this coming Sunday on August 17 from 12pm-4pm at Mickey’s bar and nightclub in West Hollywood, California, Annika will be hosting a drag brunch with some of her very favorite performers. There will also be photo ops, an auction and more for those in attendance and the bachelorette brunch will benefit the LGBTQ+ summer camp – Camp Light Bulb.

Annika shared with Michael Fairman TV, the impetus of why she has chosen to celebrate her ‘Bachelorette’ party in this way. “The rainbow community has been such a place of love and support for me throughout my life,” she explained, “It’s the least I can do to give back.”
“I was bullied when I was younger and a bit of an outcast and I found my community in theatre and the arts, which of course is such a welcoming diverse group,” said Noelle. “I want to return the favor by supporting Camp Lightbulb, which is one of the very first LGBTQ+ youth summer camps which offers a safe place for them to experience the magic of summer, fun, pride, community, & memories”.

Sharing some of the details of what attendees can expect from the drag performers, Noelle, ran down the line-up, “Ingenue is hosting and performing. I’ve known her for almost a decade and we’ve been such a support and cheerleaders for each other throughout our careers. (She also has a great drag soap opera web series called Roads to Keystone).”
In addition, Annika was happy to have, “Calypso Jetè Balmain – who is a ballroom icon and a winner on the first season of Legendary and is in The House of Balmain. Glen Alen who is a 3x Emmy-winning makeup artist and amazing performer, and finally, the legendary RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and Queen of Memes, Ms. Jasmine Masters.”

B&B fans, there is also some things for you! Annika revealed that she will be auctioning off some “Hope Logan” items from the show, too.
Tickets are on sale now for $40.00+ surcharge by going to EventBrite.com here.
So, if you are in the Southern California area this weekend for The Bold and the Beautiful Fan Club Luncheon, might you stop in at Annika’s Beautifully Bold Bachelorette Party? What do you think of the sentiments Annika shared on the connection she feels with the LGBTQ+ community and being an advocate? Comment below.
I really like Annika. She may actually be the only reason that I still endure watching B and B.
Noticed that her hair has been getting longer again – I loved how the chin-length bob featured her face and jawline, but now knowing that her nuptials are nearing, my guess is that she is growing her hair out for a wedding up-do. Wishing her health and happiness with much love. Annika wears her heart on her sleeve.
I love this for Annika, and I wish her and her fiancé all the best as they head into their life as wedded partners.
Annika is such a sweet person, she has a big heart not only for the community, she also sang for a charity for a children´s hospital and helps animal shelters.
I wish her only the best for her wedding and marriage and am excited to see her in her wedding dress soon!

Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun Written Out of The Young and the Restless

It looks like the current run of Lucas Adams (Noah) and Tamara Braun (Sienna) on The Young and the Restless is coming to an end, after the Monday, August 3 edition of the CBS daytime drama revealed that Noah and Sienna are leaving Genoa City and heading back to Los Angeles.
In the storyline, Noah informed his mother, Sharon (Sharon Case) and half-sister Mariah (Camryn Grimes) that he and Sienna made the decision to move back to the West Coast to put distance between themselves and Matt Clark (Roger Howarth). Although Noah did not say it was a permanent move, he did assure his mom that once Matt is hopefully gone from Genoa City they could return.
However, as previewed already on the video teaser for this week’s episodes of Y&R (see below), it appears Noah left Genoa City’s The Shadow Room to be run by a returning Danny Romalotti (Michael Damian). So with that, coupled with today’s episode, it would appear the move could wind up being more permanent.

COMINGS AND GOINGS
Adams made his Y&R debut on November 4, 2025 as the successor to Rory Gibson who last played Noah on-screen in April of 2023. Earlier in 2025, Gibson took over the role of Michael Corinthos on Genera Hospital replacing Chad Duell, who stepped away from the part after 15 years.
Braun who played Adam’s mother on Days of Our Lives when she was Ava Vitali and he was Tripp Dalton, first appeared on Y&R back on October 14, 2025, where we soon learned she had become Noah’s lover as the new character, Sienna Bacall. It should be noted, Adams was on contract with the number #1 soap, while Braun has been on recurring status.
With Josh Griffith now exited as head writer of The Young and the Restless, and the newly announced co-head writing team of Jamey Giddens and Dan O’Connor having taken his place and starting their new tenure this week, it will be interesting to see how the duo resets the show, and if a Noah and Sienna return is in the cards for the future or not.
So, what do you think about the seeming departures of Lucas Adams and Tamara Braun from The Young and the Restless? Weigh-in via the comment section. But first, check out our recent live chat with Tamara and Lucas on the Michael Fairman Channel.

Rosie O’Donnell Says She Will Return to ‘The View’ During its Season 30

Rosie O’Donnell revealed that she plans to head back to a seat at the table of ABC’s morning talk show The View.
The announcement came during Monday’s episode of The Tangle Podcast where she shared she will participate in “in whatever way they want” her or “just as a guest” for its upcoming 30th season.
The View’s season 30 will kick-off this fall in September. O’Donnell explained, “They’re bringing back all the hosts, I think. And, you know, I’m pretty proud of that show, what it’s become and how it really speaks to the people and to politics.”

ROSIE ON HER PREVIOUS GO-ROUNDS ON THE VIEW
As fans of The View know, O’Donnell famously had two different one-year stints on the talk show in 2007 and again in 2014- 2015. She often feuded with then co-host Elizabeth Hasselbeck.
However, during her discussion with host, Kyle Ridley on The Tangle Podcast, O’Donnell also noted she often had tense moments with longtime moderator and anchor, Whoopi Goldberg.
O’Donnell also expressed, “Many, many people got the short end of the stick there. It was, you know, it was a factory where people were being churned in and out and their tenuous security, nobody got to be calm. It also was a show at the time that was run by a man. A show created by a woman, for women, about women, and the man was deciding what we should talk about. And that didn’t sit right with me, you know.”
Back in 2023, Brooke Shields had asked Rosie on her podcast, Now What? with Brooke Shields, about how she felt on her two stints at The View and all the controversy that surrounded it. Rosie at that time, stated, “I know this, it’s not the best use of my talent to get in a show where I have to argue and defend basic principles of humanity and kindness. It was not something I’d ever do again.”
You can check out the clip with Rosie and Kyle Ridley discussing her return to The View in some form for its upcoming 30th season below.
Then weigh-in: Would you be excited to see Rosie, even for a one-day or a week guest stint on the upcoming celebratory season of The View, or not so much? Let us know via the comment section.
