Brianna LaPagliahas revealed on her own podcast that she is not a fan ofLogan Paul'spodcast, following her recent appearance on his show, Impaulsive.

Speaking on Sunday's episode of Plan Bri Uncut,the content creatorspoke about her recent interview with the YouTuber. She stated that ahead of her appearance on Impaulsive, she informed production she didn't want to discuss her relationship with her ex-boyfriend,Zach Bryan. Brianna dated the country star from July 2023 to October 2024.

Brianna LaPaglia didn't want to talk about ex Zach Bryan on Logan Paul's Impaulsive podcast

"I was like, 'Alright, let's get it all out of the way,'" Brianna saidon Sunday's episodeof her podcast. "Which is fine."

She then went on to declare she is done talking about her past relationship. "I know that people are going to ask about it, but at this point, I've said everything that I'm going to say. I'm not going to say anything new, and it's not that interesting."

"I knew they were going to, every single show where I go on with men, they ask about it," she added. Although the influencer only spoke about her ex for a few minutes, it was a deliberate violation of the prior discussions with production. "That looks like I went on that podcast to talk about that when that was the one thing that I was like, 'Hey, let's not f*cking talk about this,'" she said.

She went on to say her publicist was "seething" over the title. Logan had named the video "HE'S A PSYCHO" – Brianna Chickenfry Talks About Her Ex-Boyfriend.

On a personal note, the internet personality wasn't so bothered. "I don't really give a f*ck about anything," she explained. "But when I look at the grand scheme of things … we did ask to not talk about it."

She explained her personal view on talking about her time withthe country star. "I don't talk about it unless I'm asked about it, which shouldn't even matter. I should be able to talk about it. It's just so f*cking frustrating."

10 bands still touring with no original members

When it comes to seeing a band live, music fans generally fall into two categories. One group insists on key original members being part of the performance. For these fans, the absence of even one core musician can be a deal-breaker, leading them to boycott tours like Black Sabbath's farewell tour, which featured only three of its four original members.

Bona Fide: Long Gone

On the other hand, there are fans who prioritize the music itself, specifically the big hits. For them, the presence of original band members is less important than the opportunity to experience the songs live. This perspective allows for the continued touring of bands with few, if any, original members—imagine a Beatles tour without John, Paul, George, or Ringo. Many bands currently on tour operate under this premise, delivering their classic songs to appreciative audiences regardless of who's on stage.

1. Yes

Yes was one of the most popular progressive rock bands of the 1970s, and their hit 1971 song "Roundabout" is still in regular rotation on FM radio. Fans still come to see them, so they have continued to tour despite the lack of any original members. The band's closest thing to a "mainstay" is guitarist Steve Howe, who joined the group for its third album. But hey, if you need to hear all 22 minutes of "Gates of Delirium" performed live,they're touring Europeat this very moment.

2. GWAR

GWAR is a heavy metal band that took the Alice Cooper shock rock formula of fake blood, props, and mock executions as far as it could go, aided in part by costumes that fully obscured the band members' identities. Countless people have come and gone through its ranks since frontman David "Oderus Urungus" Brockie founded the group in 1984, but when he passed away in 2014, the band chose to continue, in part because the costumes ensured that no one knew who was onstage anyway. The band will startits next U.S. tourin June.

3. Iron Butterfly

Iron Butterfly was founded in the 1960s and is best known for the interminable "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida," which lasts for 17 minutes, almost enough time for your last toke of the sticky icky to wear off. Everyone in the original band has died, except for singer Doug Ingle, but you would be wrong if you'd expect him to come back for the touring income. Every current band member was drafted in the 2000s, except for singer Eric Barnett, who joined in 1991. Their last tourwrapped up in 2021, but since even death hasn't stopped this band from touring, you can most likely expect to see them onstage again at some point.

4. Canned Heat

Canned Heat is a blues rock band formed in 1965 that performed at Woodstock and is best known for the song "Going Up the Country." Founding members Alan Wilson and Bob Hite both passed away decades ago and currently, the only member of the band who dates back to its olden days is drummer Fito De La Parra, who was not an original member but joined the group for its second album. This incarnation of the bandwill be touring Europe over the summerand then playing in Las Vegas in September, so buy your concert tickets and brown acid now.

5. Blood, Sweat & Tears

Like Canned Heat, the 1960s jazz-rock band Blood, Sweat and Tears also graced the stage at the Woodstock festival, but they had already begun hemorrhaging original members before they ever set foot on that stage. In the mid-1970s, drummer Bobby Colomby became the last original band member to leave the group, and the lineup fluctuated countless times, at one point including singer Bo Bice, who came in second place to Carrie Underwood on the 2005 season of American Idol. See their current lineupin May 2024 if you're in Illinois or Indiana.

6. Lynyrd Skynyrd

Lynyrd Skynyrd had lineup issues from the get-go. Indeed, no two studio albums had the same lineup, but the band remained popular anyway on the strength of such hits as "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird." In 1977, their private airplane crashed while they were on tour, killing two members, but they returned in 1991 with a revamped lineup that contained only three of the band's original seven. Eventually, only guitarist Gary Rossington remained, but he passed away in 2023, and there is now nobody left from the band's original lineup. Despite this, their current lineupgoes back out on tour in May 2024.

7. Molly Hatchet

Something about Southern Rock bands makes them different from other rock bands, and it's not just about geography. What makes them different is the constant, revolving door lineup changes that plague these bands from the outset, and Florida's Molly Hatchet of "Flirtin' with Disaster" fame is no exception. Founded by guitarist Dave Hlubek in 1973, every single original member of the band is dead as of 2020, and the "Molly Hatchet" name is now owned by guitarist Bobby Ingram, who replaced Hlubek in 1987. The band's next world tourbegins in May 2024.

8. The Pointer Sisters

The Pointer Sisters were formed in 1970 and consisted of June, Bonnie, and Anita Pointer. They had multiple hit songs over the next two decades, including "Slow Hand," "I'm So Excited," and "Neutron Dance," but June Pointer passed away in 2006, Anita Pointer stepped down from the group in 2015, and Bonnie Pointer had already left the group in 1977, leaving only Ruth Pointer, who had joined in 1972, as the last remaining sister. Today, the group is rounded out by her daughter Issa and granddaughter Sadako, and if you're not bothered by the fact that none of them are sisters, you can catch them on tourstarting in June 2024.

9. Heart

The hard rock band Heart may be synonymous with sisters Ann and Nancy Wilson, but they were not original founding members. That honor went to guitarist Roger Fisher and bassist Steve Fossen, who formed the band in 1973. The Wilson sisters did not join until 1975, and the band had great commercial success for the rest of the decade. By 1982, the founding members had either quit or been fired, which put the Wilson sisters in charge of the band. The group's lineup shifted numerous times, but they're still at it and in the middle ofa very long and ambitious world tour.

10. Quiet Riot

When Quiet Riot hit it big with their 1983 hit album "Metal Health," many people were unaware that it was their third album and that singer Kevin DuBrow was already the only remaining original member. The band was formed by bassist Kelly Garni and guitarist Randy Rhoads, with Rhoads going on to play with Ozzy Osbourne after two 1970s albums with Quiet Riot that were only released in Japan. DuBrow passed away in 2007, and the band underwent multiple lineup changes. After the death of drummer Frankie Banali in 2020, bassist Rudy Sarzo, who had played on "Metal Health," returned to the band to embark ona tour to celebrate the 40th anniversaryof the breakthrough album.

10 bands still touring with no original members

When it comes to seeing a band live, music fans generally fall into two categories. One group insists on key original me...

Rose Byrne may 'regret' her Golden Globes speech, but she's embracing her Oscars moment

When Rose Byrne won a Golden Globe last month for her starring role as a mother on the verge of a nervous breakdown in Mary Bronstein's"If I Had Legs I'dKick You,"her acceptance speech briefly threatened to overshadow the actual honor. In it, she explained that her longtime partner, Bobby Cannavale, was absent from the ceremony because he was at a reptile convention in New Jersey, where he hoped to fulfill their children's dreams by purchasing a bearded dragon.

It was a charming and funny aside that some users of social media naturally used to criticize Cannavale and try togin up a controversy.(Insert eye-roll emoji here.) Byrne, now an Oscar nominee for the same role, found herself having to explain that parenthood almost always comes with scheduling conflicts and answerfollow-up questionsabout the reptilian addition to her family.

Including, I regret to report, from me. Since Conan O'Brien, who co-stars in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," will behosting this year's Oscars, it seems natural that Byrne will get some sort of comedic shout-out during the telecast. Has he asked her to bring the bearded lizard with her to the ceremony?

"I think he knows better than to ask that," she says, laughing. "I really regret that," she adds, referring to her acceptance speech revelation. "I'm an essentially pretty private person, and it's a tough line you have to straddle with the press. I definitely learned a lesson."

Fortunately, Byrne's professional life is rich enough to require no offscreen embroidery.

Nineteen years ago, she burst onto the cultural landscape in high drama-queen style: Wild-eyed, half-naked and covered in blood. The 2007 opening of FX's groundbreaking legal drama"Damages,"in which Byrne's young lawyer, Ellen Parsons, flees an uptown New York apartment building in which something terrible has clearly happened, sparked all manner of conversation. As the series unfurled, proving to a skeptical entertainment industry that women can be compelling antiheroes too, much of that talk revolved around Byrne.

Who was this young actor going toe-to-toe with Glenn Close as "Damages'" deliciously Machiavellian attorney Patty Hewes?

Byrne has been answering that question ever since. By now you could fill in the blank of "Wait, is that the woman from... ?" with "Damages," or "Get Him to the Greek," or "Insidious," or "Bridesmaids," or "X-Men" movies or "Spy," or "Instant Family," or "Neighbors," or "Mrs. America," or the ongoing Apple TV series "Platonic," whose third season is currently in the works. (And that list is far from exhaustive.) Post-Oscars, she'll add a Broadway production of Noël Coward's "Fallen Angels," coming just after the film "Tow," in which she plays a homeless woman who fights the system after her car is towed, premieres in March; "The Good Daughter," a Peacock miniseries in which Bryne co-stars with Meghann Fahy and Brendan Gleeson, is in postproduction.

Not to belabor the reptile references, but Byrne is something of a creative chameleon, moving easily from drama to comedy to horror, film to television to stage and back again. In many ways, her gut-wrenching, darkly funny performance as a woman pushed beyond all endurance in "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" is a culmination of all the characters she brought to life before it.

Beginning with "Damages." Though she had done plenty of work previously, including roles in "Troy" and "I Capture the Castle," it was her role as Ellen Parsons, who becomes determined to beat Patty at her own game, that brought Byrne to fame — and all the pressures and decisions that come with it.

"I still remember filming that [opening] scene," Byrne says in an interview in the A24 offices the day afterthe film academy's nominees luncheon. "That show was tricky, getting used to how TV worked, with writers writing until the very last minute. It was still unusual for a big movie star to be doing TV, and it was daunting. Glenn, well, she's Glenn, iconoclastic; she brings all of her roles with her. But she's also eccentric Glenn and she's funny and she works so hard. Up close, seeing a great actor raises the bar. I was spoiled [getting] to watch her work every day for five years."

Byrne received two Emmy nominations and a lot of attention for "Damages," but, as is so often the case, she found herself being offered roles that were alarmingly similar to Ellen.

"You can get pigeonholed really quickly," she says. "I made the very conscious decision to do something comedic."

It's tough to imagine anything more comedic than "Get Him to the Greek," which came out in 2010, and "Bridesmaids," which premiered in 2011.

It was a bit of a leap. Having never trained in improv, Byrne had to adapt to being fed multiple alternative lines during filming while working with actors who might float off into comedic rants at any minute. "I really did learn on my feet. When I first started to do it, I found it terrifying and thrilling at the same time, trying to keep up."

She also had to learn not to break. "I was useless," she says of"Bridesmaids,"in which she plays a relatively straight role. "I was laughing all the time. But how could I not?"

By the time she starred opposite Melissa McCarthy in Paul Feig'scriminally underrated "Spy,"she had a few more experiences under her belt. "Though still it is hard not to break when you're facedwith Melissa McCarthy," she says. "I defy anyone to do it."

(When I tell her that "Spy," in which she plays a highly bewigged and over-the-top Russian mobster, is one of my favorite movies, her face lights up. "You've made my day," she says. "Isn't it great? It kind of went under the radar. But if you know you know.")

Though her roles in the first two"Insidious" movies, and more recently in the heartwarming"Instant Family,"featured the mother-in-crisis tension that fuels "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You," it was, she says, her comedic roles that stretched her as an actor.

"When I had the opportunity to do broader characters in comedy, it was a game-changer," she says. "There was so much more color I can discover here."

Though classified as a comedy for purposes of the Golden Globes — Byrne won lead female actor in a movie musical or comedy — "If I Had Legs," like Byrne's career, defies categorization.

Based on writer-director Mary Bronstein'spersonal experience, the film follows Linda (Byrne), a therapist and mother. With her husband literally (and figuratively) at sea, Linda tries to cope with the needs of her patients while caring for a child whose inability to eat has become life-threatening.

When, on top of everything else, the ceiling of their apartment collapses, the two take refuge in a rather squalid motel, where Linda often leaves the child (who the audience hears but does not see) in their room while she smokes, drinks and contemplates the pulsating abyss she feels her life has become.

Where some see a black comedy, others see horror and/or a bleak exploration of the pressures of motherhood — an increasingly popular subgenre referred to by some as "mum noir."

Although much of her previous work involved strong co-stars or ensembles, Byrne carries this film almost single-handedly, often through close-ups shot so tightly that she felt like her eyelashes might brush the camera.

She wasn't thinking of that, however, when she got the script from her agent. Instead, she was instantly captivated by the story and what she has characterized as Bronstein's willingness to buck so many cinematic traditions, beginning with the decision not to show Linda's child: "By not showing the daughter, she forces you to reckon with the woman, a woman who is behaving really questionably in the role of a mother, something that is not particularly approved of."

Linda is hostile, defensive and quite unlikable in many ways. She apparently has no friends and seeks help where it clearly cannot be found — from her absent husband and O'Brien's narcissistic fellow therapist — while rudely rejecting it when it is kindly offered, mainly by the motel's superintendent, played by ASAP Rocky. Even for those who understand the sometimes brutal nature of motherhood, Linda is a tough sell for empathy. Only Byrne's flashes of humor and desperately flailing humanity keep her on this side of monstrous.

Byrne understands why some people might not consider "If I Had Legs I'd Kick You" a comedy — "It's a very dark story about a very serious thing" — but when she first read it, she says, "I was laughing and gasping at the same time."

The film breaks all the traditional movie rules, Byrne says. "The character is the ultimate antihero and she's a mother" — something that is rarely allowed. It's also an unforgiving portrait of the daughter, who is far from sympathetic as she whines, throws tantrums and makes endless demands.

For Byrne, the child's portrayal is also a way of keeping the film focused on Linda.

"You do have to wonder if this is how she is, or how her mother sees and hears her," she explains. "[Linda] doesn't see her as a little girl, as a child, which can happen when you're so frustrated. We've all been there. [Children] show a mirror to all of our limitations."

Linda's hostility was tough for Byrne at first, she admits. "That's not a natural space for myself. If I'm under stress, I'm not naturally hostile; I'm really spaced out. But there's a reason she doesn't have any friends. I don't think she wants anyone in her life reflecting her behavior and her choices."

The nonchronological nature of filming posed its own challenges. Byrne often had to shoot scenes from different points of Linda's progressive breakdown on the same day. Byrne and Bronstein had spent weeks combing through the script before production and met daily about each scene as production progressed.

"I tracked it as best I could," Byrne says. "I didn't want it to be one note. That was the most important thing. There always has to be nuance."

The climactic scene, which involves Linda battling the ocean, had to be shot fairly early on before the water off Montauk, where the film is set and was shot, became too cold. It was, she says, an ambitious sequence. "Fortunately," she says, "I'm an Aussie, so I grew up very aware of the ocean. But I'm sensible. I did about 75% of it, but I also had a brilliant stunt double. Our cinematographer did float off at one time," she adds with a laugh, "but Mary was always safety first."

When asked if echoes from previous works — the ailing child in "Insidious," scenes in "Physical," during which her character binges and purges in a seedy motel room — helped inform her portrayal of Linda, Byrne first expresses surprise: "I hadn't thought of that. They do like to get me in hotel rooms." But though she wasn't drawing specifically on any previous performance, she acknowledges that "Everything informs everything. All that you've done before informs where you are right now."

Which means there's a through line in the diverse work of this creative chameleon, subtle but identifiable: Byrne's own fascination with "the tension of someone trying to cover for themselves constantly, a lack of acknowledgment of reality. To see how far they go."

Fox News Digital reached out to his attorney for comment.

The recent California sentencing marks the latest development in a string of legal troubles over the past five years.

The sentence stems from a February 2024 traffic stop in La Quinta. At the time, he was charged with felony DUI and a misdemeanor count of alleged contempt of court.

"Deputies assigned to the La Quinta Sheriff's Station conducted a traffic stop in the area of Washington Street and Calle Tampico in La Quinta on a vehicle suspected of being involved in a recent traffic collision," Sgt. Wenndy Brito-Gonzalez told Fox News Digital at the time.

"When deputies contacted the driver, they observed indications of impairment, leading to the driver's arrest for driving under the influence with priors."

Brito-Gonzalez added, "The driver, later identified as 42-year-old Zachery Bryan, was booked into a Riverside County jail."

In July 2023, Bryan was arrested after authorities responded to a reported physical domestic dispute between the actor and an unnamed woman. He was charged with two counts of assault in the fourth degree.

He later pleaded guilty to felony assault in the fourth degree constituting domestic violence. As part of a negotiated resolution that dismissed the second assault charge, Bryan was required to serve seven days in jail instead of 19–20 months in the Oregon Department of Corrections, Lane County Chief Deputy District Attorney Chris Parosa confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital at the time.

Bryan was also arrested in 2020 following an altercation with girlfriend Johnnie Faye Cartwright, in which he allegedly attempted to strangle her at their apartment inEugene, Oregon. He later entered a guilty plea.

Bryan rose to fame as Brad Taylor, the eldest son of Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor — portrayed byTim Allen— on the hit ABC sitcom "Home Improvement," which ran from 1991 to 1999.
