Anne Burrell’s Final ‘Worst Cooks’ Co-Host Remembers Food Network Star as ‘Larger Than Life’ | Video
As The Food Network prepares to say goodbye to one of its most iconic TV personalities with “Worst Cooks in America” Season 29, Anne Burrell’s co-stars continue to remember the late celebrity chef for being a star both on- and off-camera.
“Anne had this larger than life personality. Like, when you were with her, there was no co-hosting the show, it was just going along the ride that Anne was setting up for you,” Gabe Bertaccini told “CBS Mornings” on Tuesday. “Something that struck me was she really cared, not only, like, of course, the entertainment side of things, but she really cared for the people that were there.”
“At the end of the day, you have recruits that spend time with us throughout the weeks, trying to learn how to cook. You can approach that from just a TV show standpoint and just be like, ‘Ok, that’s my job and just go home,...

“This is insane. I’m losing my mind,” Aj McLean told a sold-out crowd at Sphere Las Vegas on opening night of the Backstreet Boys’ Into the Millennium residency. “I’ve cried at least four times since we’ve been up here.”
McLean wasn’t the only band member overcome with emotion during Friday’s nostalgic, otherworldly trip down memory lane. Kevin Richardson became so choked up he couldn’t sing his verse of “The Perfect Fan,” while Brian Littrell cried next.
Nick Carter was meanwhile fighting tears before he even rose onstage for 1999’s anthem “Larger Than Life,” which had audience members seemingly dancing through space while dodging meteorites thanks to Sphere’s immersive visuals.
“As I was about to come up, I started breaking down and crying because it was so emotional and surreal,” Carter told THR in an exclusive interview. “We’ve been together so long and...
