What are we missing?! Michelle Young’s suitor Clayton Echard was chosen to be the next Bachelor before The Bachelorette even started airing — and spoiler-savvy fans have spent the entire season puzzling over the decision. The consensus: The former NFL player from Missouri, 28, seems nice enough, but he hasn’t really made much of a first impression. “Can they try to show us why Clayton was picked?” asked one fan, while another commented, “When are we going to like Clayton? I have no investment in him!” Even former Bachelor Ben Higgins is scratching his pretty head. “We’ve seen rocket ship-type character development where one episode changes everything. One one-on-one makes us go, ‘This guy is great.’ And I think he has it in him,” Ben recently mused. “But he hasn’t…

B.J. Novak may be recognized by U.S. fans for playing ambitious temp (and object of Michael’s inappropriate man crush) Ryan on hit sitcom The Office , but in other countries, he’s more familiar from store shelves. ”Years ago, someone mistakenly put an image of me on a public domain site,” explains the actor and writer, 42. “And now apparently I am on products all around the world. But I am too amused to do anything about it.” So next time you’re abroad, look for his face on everything from razors in China to Swedish perfume!…

MICHAEL ALLIO The widowed father, 36, became a fan favorite on Katie Thurston’s season and had confirmed he had “discussions” about becoming the next Bachelor. So why wasn’t he chosen? “I don’t know,” he admits. GREG GRIPPO Katie’s polarizing runner-up, 28, was heavily rumored to be the next lead, but his uncle later claimed the New Jersey native declined the gig. RODNEY MATTHEWS Fans have long been rooting for the sweet-natured 29-year-old Californian, whom many considered the real breakout star of Michelle’s season. (She sent him home on the Nov. 30 episode.)…

Cassadee Pope’s beloved pup Cuppy plays many roles in the country singer’s life. He’s her trusty travel companion, her co-star (the French Bulldog appears in the video for her single, “Tomorrow Night,” from her new album, Thrive) and even her occasional therapist. “Dogs are the best therapy,” says the 32-year-old Season 3 Voice winner. “They’re just always there for you.” Here, the star — who’s been dating fellow musician Sam Palladio since late 2017 — talks to In Touch’s Katie Bruno about teaming up with Mars Petcare for the launch of their new Airport Certification through its BETTER CITIES FOR PETS™ program, her friendship with her former Voice coach Blake Shelton and her plans for 2022.

SETH MEYERS: “Matthew McConaughey discussed his possible campaign for governor of Texas in a new interview with the Hollywood Reporter. Which is smart, because Texans famously get all their news from the Hollywood Reporter.” JIMMY FALLON: “Jack Dorsey stepped down as CEO of Twitter. I think he made the right decision. Here he is nine years ago, and today. It’s definitely a sign to leave your job when you look like Tom Hanks at the end of Castaway.” STEPHEN COLBERT: “In the U.K., snow trapped 60 people in a pub with an Oasis cover band for three days. So it’s true: Hell can freeze over!” JIMMY FALLON: “Everyone’s decorating for the holidays, and the FAA is warning people not to shine laser light displays into the sky. The pilots are…

After playing Olivia Benson for 20 years, Mariska Hargitay seems to have learned some top-notch negotiating skills. When a man (not pictured) kept interrupting filming of Law & Order: SVU by singing in NYC’s Washington Square Park recently, the actress stepped in to “subdue the suspect” in a video that went viral. “Your singing was beautiful, but we’re just trying to get the shot. Is it OK if you don’t sing when we say ‘action?’” Mariska, 57, tactfully requested, adding that she’d do him a favor when they finished. (Autograph, maybe?) It worked! “What other [star] would do this?” noted one grateful crew member. “We love Mariska!”…

The implications are serious. On Dec. 3, an investigation confirmed allegations made earlier this year that Prince Charles’ closest aide — who resigned as the scandal made headlines in September — coordinated a cash-for-honors deal that saw a Saudi billionaire who donated millions to Charles’ pet charities secure an Order of the British Empire award, as well as British citizenship. Though a Clarence House spokesperson has insisted the Prince of Wales had “no knowledge” of the arrangement, many have publicly expressed their doubts. “Such unsavory drama so close to the throne,” says a royals source, “has cast a dark shadow and caused many to question what Charles really knew.” But that’s nothing compared to what the future king is facing now. A new book alleges Charles is the mystery royal…
