Celebrity Extra: Bella Hadid
By Dana Jackson
Q: Is it true that Bella Hadid has quit modeling? Is she still recovering from Lyme disease? -- S.E.
A: When Bella Hadid first appeared on "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" alongside her mother, Yolanda, and sister, Gigi, she was riding horses, not modeling. She didn't seem interested in following her mother's footsteps on the runway, but within a few short years, she and her sister were considered modern-day supermodels and fodder for the tabloids.

The girl who loved horses is reemerging now. Hadid has taken a break from modeling and calls Fort Worth, Texas, her new home. She's been dating cowboy and horse trainer Adan Banuelos since the two were seen together last October, and he's gotten her back into riding. Hadid placed third in a riding competition back in January, according to a post on his Instagram page.
This past August, Hadid opened up about her health struggles on an Instagram post and shared that she was "finally healthy" after getting diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012.

Q: Is it true that Tracy Morgan is returning to "Saturday Night Live" as part of the cast again? -- K.S.
A: Tracy Morgan spent seven years as a cast member on "Saturday Night Live," but he has no plans to return in that capacity. He has returned to host twice so far and will no doubt host again someday.
Morgan starred in his self-titled sitcom "The Tracy Morgan Show," but it was canceled after one season. He made a much bigger splash playing a hilarious parody of himself in the Tina Fey sitcom "30 Rock." He later went on to star in another successful series "The Last O.G." for four seasons.
You'll likely see him hosting "SNL" to promote his new sitcom "Crutch" when it begins airing on Paramount+. "Crutch" is a spin-off of the hit CBS sitcom "The Neighborhood." Morgan has guest-starred on that show before and played Calvin's (Cedric the Entertainer) wealthy brother, Curtis, but he'll be playing a completely different character on "Crutch."
According to the official logline, Crutch is Cedric's cousin, "a Harlem widower whose empty nest plans are put on hold after his millennial son and free-spirited daughter move back home." Production on "Crutch" will begin later this year with an official premiere date to be announced.

Q: Whatever happened to the show "Deadliest Catch?" I know that a couple of people who were originally on it have passed away. Is it ever coming back? -- T.A.
A: "Deadliest Catch," a documentary-reality show about the perilous world of crabbing on the high seas, premiered in 2005 on the Discovery Channel. Tragedy has struck the show numerous times in the form of natural causes, overdoses, and accidents involving the ships and their equipment. Despite all the hardship and heartbreak, the show is going on its 20th season this summer.
According to Entertainment Weekly, fan-favorite captains Sig Hansen, Keith Colburn and Wild Bill Wichrowski are all returning and will be competing in a derby-style race to reach a $1 million quota.
Season 20 of "Deadliest Catch" premieres on Tuesday, June 11, at 8 p.m. ET on Discovery and will be available to stream on Max soon afterward.
