"No, I don't think we should do that, because ... you're my sister-in-law," Reynolds tells Robyn, who is the older sister of his wife Blake LivelyRyan Reynolds teamed up with sister-in-law Robyn Lively for a Doogie Howser, M.D. spoof.
The actor stars opposite Robyn in a new video spoofing her TV show Doogie Howser, M.D., all for a joking response to the hit series' star Neil Patrick Harris now voicing Reynolds' character Deadpool in a new video game.
As a whitecoat-clad Reynolds, 48, types up a scathing letter on an old-school desktop PC, Robyn — who played love interest Michele Faber opposite Harris' Doogie in the show, which ran from 1989 to 1993 — pops up in the window and yells, "House call!"
"My girlfriend! What are you doing here? If my dad sees you here, he's gonna freak," Reynolds tells Robyn, his wife Blake Lively's older sister, who cheekily replies, "You're a 48-year-old man."

"I'm a 14-year-old medical prodigy who's going through the change," Reynolds says as "Doogie," which prompts Robyn to respond, "Are you talking about puberty?"
"Robyn, you're being paid," quips Reynolds.
"This is vindictive and stupid," she replies, to which Reynolds hits back with, "I disagree with that diagnosis."
After an ad for the Meta Quest game Deadpool VR (featuring the voice of Harris, 51) plays onscreen, Reynolds and Robyn, 53, have one last thing to sort out.
After he appears to awkwardly lean in for a kiss, Reynolds backs up and says, "No, I don't think we should do that, because—"
"Because you are so dumb," Robyn says, at the same time he says, "Because you're my sister-in-law."
A synopsis for the new game reads, "Contracted by Mojo, with the promise of making money, like a lot of money, Deadpool sets out to capture villains from the Marvel Universe."
"The Merc with the Mouth soon realizes he shouldn't have so hastily signed the contract," the description adds. "Will he survive or thrive in his journey to become the Mojoverse's most famous interdimensional streaming star?"

Earlier in his spoof, Reynolds is seen writing a journal entry a la Doogie and narrating, "Today, I learned a lesson about buttholes they don't teach you in medical school. People who steal your signature role are the biggest buttholes of all."
"No, I don't blame Meta Quest. Neil Patrick Harris is an amazing actor with the nurturing voice of an angel, but even though I haven't hit puberty yet, I still know when you're getting totally screwed," Reynolds added.

Amy Poehler's Private Romance With Joel Lovell Is No Longer a Secret

Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. In March 2025, Amy Poehler and editor Joel Lovell made their red carpet debut at the the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party following almost a year of low-key dating. In October 2024, People reported the pair had begun seeing one another that summer, with a source saying they were 'enjoying spending time together.' The Parks & Recreation star has been previously linked to John Stamos, Nick Kroll, and Benjamin Graf, but her most well-known relationship was with her ex-husband, Will Arnett. The pair was married for 13 years before divorcing in 2016. They share two sons, 16-year-old Archie and 14-year-old Abel. Here's everything to know about Poehler and her connection with Joel Lovell so far. Joel Lovell grew up in upstate New York, then went to college at Cornell University, according to an interview with the University of Michigan's alumni newsletter in 2016. He wanted to go to medical school but discovered a love for literature and writing. He went to University of Michigan for his MFA. After graduating, he taught undergraduate fiction writing at Michigan before making a big career change. 'I kind of lucked into a magazine job at Harper's,' said Lovell. 'My friend had applied for a job at the magazine but decided not to take it, so he recommended me. I literally just got a call one day from an editor asking if I'd be interested in applying for an editing job. That was 20 years ago.' From Harper's, he went to the New York Times Magazine and GQ, where he wrote a very popular profile of Stephen Colbert in 2015, which connected him to the comedy world. He then became deputy editor of the New York Times Magazine. According to People, Lovell left the publication to start working in podcasting. He is now the executive editor at Pineapple Street Studios, which is owned by Audacy, the producers of Poehler's 2023 scripted comedy podcast, Say More with Dr? Sheila. On his company's website, Lovell is credited for editing the podcasts Missing Richard Simmons, Winds of Change, and 9/12. Before that, he worked as the executive editor at This American Life and on the first two seasons of hit true crime show Serial. In his University of Michigan interview, Lovell shared a bit about his editing philosophy. 'You have to look at what's working in the story, but also, in a less intellectual sense, you look at the way in which things are said,' said Lovell. 'You start paying a crazy amount of attention to the sound of things, such as, 'Oh, there's an intake of breath here that makes the next thing she says difficult to understand.'' Like Poehler, Lovell has children from a previous relationship: Addie, 23, Tess, 21, and Julia, 17. After going red carpet official at the 2025 Academy Awards, Poehler referenced her date in an interview at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. 'I had the trifecta tonight, which never happens,' she said of her experience that evening. 'I'm just gonna say, I liked how I looked, which never happens—you know what, I want to be one of the greatest! I want to be the Michael Jordan of this party. I liked how I looked, I had fun with my date, and my feet don't hurt.' But she added, laughing, 'I cannot wait to leave. I cannot wait to get in there so I can do a lap and leave.'

Gordon Ramsay Reveals He 'Blacked Out' When Holding Son Oscar Just After Wife Tana Gave Birth

Gordon Ramsay recalls watching his wife Tana give birth to their son Oscar via caesarean section and holding his son for the first time The celebrity chef admits that he "blacked out" while holding their son after seeing all the blood on the ground Ramsay shares his six kids with wife TanaGordon Ramsay's wife kicked him out of the delivery room for their first four kids — and it might've been for good reason. The British celebrity chef, 58, appeared on a June 9 episode of the Smartless podcast and was asked by co-host Sean Hayes about missing the birth of his first four kids. Ramsay explained that it was actually his wife Tana's choice to not have him in the delivery room and shared that he'd actually attempted to be there when they welcomed son Oscar. "Hold on, you're going to get me into s--- here. Let's make one thing absolutely clear, okay? My wife didn't want me in there," Ramsay shared. "She said, 'First of all, I want my mom and your mom in here. You're not going to f------ see me in that state. Okay. That side of the curtain — get out of there." Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer​​, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. "So that was her decision, I had to respect that decision," he continued. "And then when I did finally arrive in the theater for our fifth baby, I f------ collapsed like a wimp and I blacked out holding Oscar in the air," he shared. Asked by co-host Will Arnett if it was a caesarean section (C-section), Ramsay confirms that it was. "I said, 'Can you play Ed Sheeran?' So they started playing Ed. 'But can you turn up the volume? I can hear all these noises. Turn up the volume,'" Ramsay remembered. "And all of a sudden, I saw two more doctors dive in. I looked on the floor and there was blood everywhere." "And all of a sudden, they popped him out and then they came straight over to me," he said. "I went, 'Whoa, whoa whoa. S---!' Yeah and then I sat back and I collapsed like a f------ idiot." Ramsay and his longtime wife Tana became parents in 1998 after welcoming their eldest daughter, Megan Ramsay, 26. Their brood grew to a family of six with the birth of fraternal twins, daughter Holly Anna Ramsay and son Jack Scott Ramsay, 25, in 1999; Matilda Ramsay, 23, who affectionately goes by Tilly, in 2001; son Oscar James Ramsay, 6, in 2019 (after experiencing a miscarriage in 2016); and son Jesse James in 2023. Back in May, Ramsay appeared on Live with Kelly and Mark and shared that his wife has hopes of expanding their family again. "So you took like a break in the middle, so you were like overwhelmed, and then, just when things calm down, you were like 'Let's do it again,' " host Kelly Ripa joked to Ramsay, who replied that it was all his wife Tana Ramsay's idea. He smiled brightly as he pointed to his wife, revealing that the mom of six is interested in expanding her family once more. "Tana wants one more!" he said. Read the original article on People
