In the mid-1970s, Good Timesmade a star of actor/comedian Jimmy 'JJ'/'Dynomite' Walker. However, behind the scenes, the tension between the stars was relatively challenging. According to what Jimmie Walker once relayed, most of the show's cast rarely had any interaction behind the camera. Walker didn't recall having any conversations with actress Esther Rolle, who played his TV mother, Florida Evans, or actor John Amos, who played James Evans, his TV mother.

“The boyfriend” is finally the husband!

Former Gov. Andrew Cuomo and Kerry Kennedy’s daughter Mariah Kennedy Cuomo married her longtime beau, Tellef Lundevall, on Saturday night, sources tell Page Six exclusively.

Lundevall became a household figure of sorts during the COVID-19 pandemic when he moved into Cuomo’s mansion and was routinely referred to as “the boyfriend” during the then-New York governor’s infamous daily briefings.







The Cuomo family gathered in the Kennedy stronghold of Hyannis Port, Mass., where “nearly 400 Cuomos, Kennedys and their friends” were “at the Kennedy compound over the weekend to toast the happy couple,” a spy tells us.

Bill Belichick’s ex-girlfriend, Linda Holliday, is still very much living the lap of luxury despite her split from the 72-year-old free-agent NFL coach.

Holliday, 61, recently moved into Belichick’s newly-purchased $4.8 million house in Nantucket, Mass., more than a year after they parted ways, according to The Daily Mail.

Meanwhile, the former Patriots coach has been preoccupied with striking up a romance with 23-year-old cheerleader Jordon Hudson.



Holliday, who was in a relationship with Belichick for 16 years before the news of their split became public in September 2023, served as the executive director of his foundation while they were together.

At roughly half the median sales price in the area according to recent estimates, the listing seemed too good to be true. And it was — the affordable slice of paradise at 157 Brownell Road in Eastham could soon be swept away by the Atlantic.
