Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco could have wedding bells in their future. In recent months, Selena Gomez has been going places with Benny Blanco. And when pushy fans challenge the romance, she’s not afraid to shut down the conversation. It turns out that Benny Blanco is just as much, if not more, infatuated. Not only does he seem to know just how lucky he is, but he’s already talking marriage. Record producer Benny Blanco and actor Selena Gomez attend the game between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers in Game Two of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs at Madison Square Garden on April 22, 2024. (Photo Credit: Sarah Stier/Getty Images) Benny Blanco is discussing his Selena Gomez romance On Tuesday, May 14, 36-year-old record producer Benny Blanco appeared as a guest on The Howard Stern Show. In the interview, which you can listen to below, he opens up about his romance. He detailed their first Valentine’s Day as a couple, during which he rented out a movie theater while feeding Selena Gomez an assortment of her favorite foods. “You are some boyfriend, you’re knocking it out the park,” Howard Stern then praised. “I see love here, I’m predicting marriage.” “You and me both,” Benny Blanco then declared. “You got a ring?” Stern asked. “I don’t have anything. I got no shoes on,” Blanco joked with a laugh. He then affirmed: “I gotta get my act together.” Selena Gomez attends the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater on January 15, 2024. (Photo Credit: Neilson Barnard/Getty Images) Is Benny Blanco planning to propose to Selena Gomez? “When will you propose?” Stern asked Blanco. “You should make the announcement now.” Stern then reiterated his question: “When are you going to propose to your very famous girlfriend Selena?” Blanco added, very seriously: “When I look at her … I’m always just like, I don’t know a world where it could be better than this.” Benny Blanco attends the 65th GRAMMY Awards on February 05, 2023. (Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images) This summer, Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez will celebrate one year of dating. In fact, Blanco shed light on when the romance began. According to Blanco, their one-year anniversary is “right around her birthday.” As those of us who are diehard Selena stans are well aware, her birthday is July 22. Blanco promised that he has some “really good stuff” planned for Selena. As she deserves. Selena is sweet, strikingly beautiful, and immensely talented. Selena Gomez attends the 30th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at Shrine Auditorium and Expo Hall on February 24, 2024. (Photo Credit: Kevin Winter/Getty Images) ‘She truly is my best friend’ “People always said this to me, when you know you meet your best friend, she truly is my best friend,” Blanco desribed. He went on to accurately describe Selena as “the coolest, nicest, sweetest.” Good! “We laugh all f—ing day, she inspires me,” Blanco praised. Blanco also made it clear that Selena’s career, fame, and talent leave him feeling a little (appropriately) intimidated sometimes. “I get home from work, I think i had a good day. I’m like, What did you do?’ ‘Oh I just fimed this thing with Meryl Streep and then I went to a fundraiser and now I’m recording,'” he noted. Blanco admitted: “My day sounds like s–t every day compared to hers.” In fairness, just about everyone’s day sounds like s–t compared to Selena’s!

Joan Vassos has been chosen as ABC’s first Golden Bachelorette. The 61-year-old was first introduced to viewers on the first season of The Golden Bachelor. She became an immediate fan favorite, but she didn’t get much of an opportunity to hit it off with star Gerry Turner. Joan Vassos meets Gerry Turner on The Golden Bachelor. (ABC) Back In the Saddle: Joan Vassos Resumes Her Search For Love Joan was forced to leave the show early when she received word that her daughter was experiencing health problems. But now, with that crisis behind her, Joan is ready to take another shot at finding love. ABC announced on Thursday that Joan has been chosen as the first senior Bachelorette, and based on the reaction from social media, fans are ecstatic about the decision. Gerry Turner smiles broadly here for the ABC camera. (ABC) And no one is happier than the OG Golden Bachelor, Gerry. Gerry Turner to Joan Vassos: You’ve Got This! Gerry responded to the news of Joan’s new gig with some heartfelt words of congratulations. “Dear Joan,” he wrote on Instagram. “Congratulations on being named the first ever Golden Bachelorette. You will be phenomenal as the new representative of a generation.” “From one golden to another … Relax, breathe and enjoy,” Turner continued, adding: Getty Turner is ready to find love on The Golden Bachelor! (Photo Credit: ABC) “And, ABC makes History, once again!!!” Kind words from someone who’s been there. It seems to us that Gerry just wanted to wish Joan well ahead of her new adventure. But is it possible that he’s hoping for a second chance at winning her heart? Gerry Turner and Teresa Nist’s Divorce Left Bachelor Nation Stunned Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist announce their divorce on Good Morning America. (ABC) As you may recall Gerry married Theresa Nist in a televised wedding after his season as Golden Bachelor. It was a big win for a franchise that needed one. Many fans had been wondering if it was time for the show to wrap it up, as hadn’t yielded many successful relationships lately. But the Geresa shippers were let down just three months later when Gerry and Theresa announced their divorce. Former Golden Bachelor contestant Susan Noles officiated the ceremony between Theresa Nist and Gerry Turner. (ABC) Could Gerry Show Up As One Of Joan’s Contestants? Most of the comments on Gerry’s post were from folks who wished to join him in congratulating Joan. But a few of his followers are convinced that GT is hoping to make a TV comeback. “Plot twist: Gerry becomes a contestant,” one person wrote. “Such a coincidence he got a divorce before this,” another added. When he was annouced, Gerry Turner was the newest (and oldest) star of The Bachelor franchise! (Photo Credit: ABC) “She’s also rich. He likes rich,” a third chimed in. So is it possible that Gerry Turner will hop out of a limo and surprise Joan Vassos on her first day as Golden Bachelorette? Seems like a bad idea, but we wouldn’t put anything past this franchise! In the meantime, we’d like to be the latest to extend our congratulations to Joan!

Gayle King is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. In 2023, American icon and notorious GMILF Martha Stewart graced the cover of Sports Illustrated at 82. Legendary journalist Gayle King is 69 (nice) years old. And now, it’s her turn to thirst trap Sports Illustrated readers. Gayle King attends The 2024 Met Gala Celebrating “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” at The Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 06, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Congratulations to ‘Sports Illustrated’ swimsuit model Gayle King! Beloved journalist Gayle King was among four women whom Sports Illustrated selected to appear on the cover of an upcoming Sports Illustrated issue. The 69-year-old CBS New anchor stands out from the others in two ways. Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady, and Kate Upton are the other three. All three are experienced models. And all three are Millennials, with Teigen being the eldest at 38 … meaning that King was Kate Upton’s age when Teigen was born. Hello, cover girl!@DrewBarrymore, @helloross, @TonyDokoupil and @NateBurleson react to @GayleKing’s @SI_Swimsuit cover: “It is a moment of true empowerment.” pic.twitter.com/AaPg8bQOC8 — CBS Mornings (@CBSMornings) May 14, 2024 Let’s be clear, King absolutely belongs on this Sports Illustrated cover. She always looks beautiful. As a news anchor, her sense of style is arguably a key part of her job. But in these photos, as you can see, she looks jaw-droppingly hot in her various bathing suits. Gayle King looks hot! However, she has also chosen tasteful and even age-appropriate swimwear in which to model, accented with jewelry. In other words, these aren’t standard pinups. In 2024, there are swimsuit pinups of most ages and all genders. King has transformed herself into a posing, smiling work of art. She just also happens to be flaunting her radiant skin and her fantastic figure in the process. Gayle King attends MoMA’s 2024 Black Arts Council Benefit at the Museum of Modern Art on April 04, 2024. (Photo Credit: Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) Being a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model means pretty much infinite bragging rights. Especially as part of an all-star ensemble like Gayle King, Chrissy Teigen, Hunter McGrady, and Kate Upton. However, the famous news anchor has been downright modest about it. During CBS Mornings on Tuesday, May 14, she admitted that she felt stunned and unworthy when the magazine offered her the role. Fortunately, no one else sees it that way. Her fellow anchors quickly emphasized that her inclusion is not only positive in a society that punishes women for turning 25 (it’s not just Leonardo DiCaprio, folks), but that she’s more than hot enough to hold her own. On May 17, when the Sports Illustrated issue goes public, the world can see that for themselves. Hopefully, Gayle King will see that, too.

Lori Beth Denberg is the latest former Nickelodeon star to accuse Dan Schneider of sexual misconduct. Schneider — who produced a slew of hits for the kids’ network between 1994 and 2019 — was the subject of the recent docuseries Quiet on Set. The film featured testimony from several former child stars who accused Schneider of all manner of harassment and abuse. Writer/producer Dan Schneider speaks at Nickelodeon’s exclusive premiere for the upcoming primetime TV event of the summer. “iParty with Victorious,” Saturday, June 4, 2011. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Nickelodeon) Now, Denberg is accusing Schneider of preying on her and abusing his power as her employer. Lori Beth Denberg Says Dan Schneider Showed Her Sexually Explicit Videos When She Was Still In Her Teens Denberg was only 17 when she landed a role on the Schneider-produced sketch show All That. Lori Beth Denberg attends The Splat: All That Reunion At New York Comic-Con on October 10, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Nickelodeon) She says that she developed a friendship with Schneider, who was a decade her senior. But the relationship turned sexual when she was 19, and Schneider began subjecting her to explicit material and making unwanted advances. In an interview with Business Insider, Denberg revealed that Schneider formed the habit of showing her pornography in the workplace. Lori Beth Denberg speaks at The Splat: All That Reunion At New York Comic-Con on October 10, 2015 in New York City. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Nickelodeon) “I feel like that is the first time he preyed on me,” Denberg told the outlet. She noted that she was not Schneider’s only victim — far from it, in fact. Denberg says that Schneider seemed to enjoy testing his limits and playing a game of “how far can I push this person?” Lori Beth Denberg attends the red carpet premiere of Hulu’s “Reboot” at Fox Studio Lot on September 19, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by JC Olivera/Getty Images) Denberg Says Schneider’s Abuse Rapidly Escalated Denberg says the situation escalated when she was at Schneider’s home watching Jeopardy! one night. After offering her a massage as a reward for getting the most answers right, he groped her and put his mouth on her breasts. She says that she was afraid to speak out against Schneider’s behavior, as she felt he might retaliate by cutting her out of the show or humiliating her on set. “I couldn’t have been more green,” Denberg said. “I couldn’t have been more vulnerable.” Dan Schneider arrives at Nickelodeon’s exclusive premiere for the upcoming primetime TV event of the summer. “iParty with Victorious,” Saturday, June 4, 2011 at The Lot in Los Angeles. (Photo by Michael Buckner/Getty Images for Nickelodeon) Dan Schneider Responds to Lori Beth Denberg’s Allegations Schneider has already fired back and insisted that Denberg’s accusations are “wildly exaggerated and, in most cases, false.” “As I have previously stated, there were times, particularly in the early years of my career, that I made mistakes and exhibited poor judgment as a leader,” Schneider said in a statement to Business Insider. “If I did that with respect to Lori Beth, I sincerely apologize to her. But I cannot apologize for things I did not do.” We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Is Kim Kardashian a robot? No. But she can put herself into a mindset where nothing touches her. In early May, the Netflix roast of Tom Brady made headlines for Kim Kardashian’s attendance. Not only did she participate in making fun of the infamous football star, but she also received a barrage of boos from the audience. Not for telling bad jokes. Simply for being there, for being who she is. But according to one of the comedians, Kim was so untouchable by the audience’s jeers that she seemed almost inhuman. Kim Kardashian speaks onstage during G.R.O.A.T The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady for the Netflix is a Joke Festival at The Kia Forum on May 05, 2024. (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) Kim Kardashian was giving ‘robot’ vibes at ‘The Roast of Tom Brady’ Comedian Andrew Schulz spoke on his Flagrant podcast that Kim Kardashian seemed like a “robot … with no human aspect” to her behavior or reactions. He added that Kim “sat with perfect posture for three hours straight.” Many artists, writers, gamers, and more only wish that they sat this way. Schulz went on to claim that Kim seemed “disassociated” during the live Netflix roast. (For the record, he probably meant dissociated, which is when someone’s mind goes “somewhere else,” often as a trauma response) Tom Brady and Andrew Schulz speak onstage during G.R.O.A.T The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady for the Netflix is a Joke Festival at The Kia Forum on May 05, 2024. (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) To be clear, Schulz didn’t claim that Kim failed to emote. She absolutely did that. According to the comedian, Kim Kardashian “smiled, laughed” during the roast. “I’ve never seen anything like that,” Schulz commented. “Completely unaffected.” Apparently, Kim Kardashian was a little ‘too perfect’ Continuing to insist that Kim Kardashian is not beating the robot allegations, Schulz described her as “striking, perfectly symmetrical.” During the performance, members of the audience viciously booed Kim. It was inexcusably rude. (Notably, Netflix later edited out this moment) “Even when she was up there, they were kind of booing her,” Andrew Schulz recalled. “It didn’t make her smile. It didn’t make her sad. It was nothing.” Reality television star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian attends a roundtable discussion on criminal justice reform hosted by Vice President Kamala Harris in the Roosevelt Room at the White House on April 25, 2024. (Photo Credit: Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images) Schulz then likened the rest of the crowd to the contents of a “Buffalo Bills tailgate.” Not, perhaps, as polished or precise as Kim. “Kim’s up there doing her set and then this guy in the stands, out of nowhere, just goes, ‘Bitch!'” Schulz admitted. “It was as if he had been holding it in for a whole minute and he just couldn’t hold it anymore. He added: “Just seeing Kim Kardashian on stage for three minutes was too much for him to hold it in.” The individual in question might want to speak to a therapist about some glaring issues. Kim Kardashian arrives for the 2024 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2024. (Photo Credit: ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) Is it nice to call Kim Kardashian an inhuman ‘robot’ for not crying when people boo her? As responses to the Tom Brady roast go, describing Kim Kardashian as so inhumanly perfect that she’s basically a robot isn’t so bad. Kim has spent almost two decades as one of the most famous people on the planet. She is, if anything, too good at ignoring her haters. (Some celebrities tune out helpful feedback and constructive criticism as “trolls,” which does not serve them in the long run) Whether Kim Kardashian can handle hate with the grace of a robot or not, some of the people there need to learn to be normal about her.

Rory McIlroy has filed for divorce from his wife of seven years, Erica Stoll. According to a new report from TMZ, Rory filed papers in his adopted home state of Florida earlier this week. The cause of the split is currently unknown. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland celebrates with the trophy alongside his wife Erica and daughter Poppy after winning during the final round of the 2021 Wells Fargo Championship at Quail Hollow Club on May 09, 2021 in Charlotte, North Carolina. (Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images) But given the extent to which the news has taken the sports world by storm, you can be sure that there will be further updates very soon. Rory McIlroy-Erica Stoll Divorce: What Happened? Again, it might be a while before we have any specifics about what prompted the split. Rory McIlroy of Team Europe and wife Erica Stoll arrive at the opening ceremony for the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club on September 28, 2023 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) But currently, it looks as though Rory was the one who initiated the divorce. The news has left golf fans stunned, as Rory and Erica appeared to be one of the sports world’s most stable couples. Rory and Erica’s Relationship History The McIlroys met under very memorable circumstances. Rory McIlroy of Team Europe and wife Erica Stoll walk through fans at the Spanish Steps prior to the 2023 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club on September 27, 2023 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images) It was 2012, and Erica was employed by the PGA, helping to organize the Ryder Cup. When Rory’s alarm clock didn’t go off and he nearly missed his tee time, it was Erica who organized the police escort that got him to the course on time. The pair hit it off immediately, but for years, their relationship was strictly platonic. It was only after Rory ended his engagement to Caroline Wozniacki that he and Erica took things to the next level. Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland poses for a photo with his wife, Erica Stoll and daughter Poppy McIlroy during the Par 3 contest prior to the 2023 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club on April 05, 2023 in Augusta, Georgia. (Photo by Andrew Redington/Getty Images) The couple married in 2017, and they welcomed their first and only child in 2020. Interestingly, Rory and Erica kept their relationship private until fairly recently. After years in which they would rarely appear in public together, Erica cheered Rory on at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

We’re sure there will be endless speculation about infidelity or some sort of other scandal. But all we know for now is that Rory McIlroy filed for divorce today. And the golf world is absolutely stunned. We’ll have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

It’s only Tuesday, but Bradley Cooper might have already won the week. On Sunday, Bradley was in Paris for the latest stop on Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour. He was joined by girlfriend Gigi Hadid, and according to TMZ, the couple danced and packed on the PDA in a luxury box alongside Travis Kelce! Bradley Cooper attends the 10th Annual Breakthrough Prize Ceremony at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on April 13, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) A pretty epic Sunday night, to be sure. (Anyway, it beats sitting around with the scaries and wondering how The Simpsons fell off so hard.) But believe it or not, the Maestro maestro might have topped himself the following day. As Page Six reports, Bradley took his daughter to the premiere of the upcoming kids’ movie IF. The New York Premiere of “IF” at the SVA Theater on May 13, 2024, in New York, New York. (Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images for Paramount Pictures) Bradley Cooper’s Seldom-Seen Daughter Joins Him at ‘IF’ Premiere Obviously, Bradley does an excellent job of protecting seven-year-old Lea from the prying eyes of the media. So he brought her to the premiere of his latest film, but father and daughter did not pose for photos together. However, a Page Six source did witness a tender moment involving Bradley, Lea, and IF‘s director, John Krasinski. Bradley Cooper looks on prior to game six of the Eastern Conference First Round Playoffs between the New York Knicks and the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center on May 02, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

But it seems that Lea was blown away by her encounter with Jim Halpert himself. Bradley Cooper attends Paramount’s “If” New York premiere at SVA Theater on May 13, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images) “I’m John. Do you remember? We met a while ago,” Krasinski said to Lea. “He made the movie!” Bradley excitedly explained to his daughter, a revelation that prompted a look of amazement. Lea was later spotted excitedly pointing at a poster of Ice, the imaginary friend whom Bradley voices in the film. 2Bradley Cooper and Lea De Seine Shayk Cooper attend Netflix’s Maestro LA special screening at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 12, 2023 in Los Angeles, California.

She’s not often by his side at public events — with good reason — but Bradley talks about his beloved daughter every chance he gets. “Every single thing is absolutely shaded by, or brought into glorious colors, by the fact that I get to be a father to a wonderful human being,” he said on the “SmartLess” podcast in June 2022.

You have like 40 of those moments every day with your kid, that are that level of joy,” he added. “That’s not spinning it, that’s just the truth.” Yes, Bradley Cooper has accomplished some incredible things in his career. But it sounds like his daughter will always be his proudest achievement. Bradley Cooper Brings Daughter to ‘IF’ Premiere, Dances With Gigi Hadid at … was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Should Tori Spelling pay spousal support to Dean McDermott? Family court will decide just that. In March, Tori Spelling filed to divorce Dean McDermott nine months after the former couple’s date of separation. Dean felt blindsided by the filing. Despite having confessed to wronging Tori in many ways, he seemingly wanted to file first. Now, Dean has issued his formal response, in court. His petition is making some major demands of his ex. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott attend Fox Winter TCA at The Fig House on February 06, 2019. (Photo Credit: Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Dean McDermott filed his response to Tori Spelling’s divorce petition According to court filings that The Blast obtained, Dean McDermott is seeking two major things in his divorce from Tori. One is spousal support from Tori. The other is for the court to grant Dean, who went many months without seeing his children in 2023, joint custody of the couple’s five children. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott attend UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital’s 20th Annual “Party on the Pier” at Pacific Park â Santa Monica Pier on November 03, 2019. (Photo Credit: Sarah Morris/Getty Images for UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital) During Tori Spelling’s initial divorce filing in March, she clearly envisioned something very different. Tori’s divorce petition requested physical custody of their five children. Additionally, Tori asked for spousal support from Dean McDermott. Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott attend the Much Love Animal Rescue 3rd Annual Spoken Woof Benefit at Microsoft Lounge on October 17, 2019. (Photo Credit: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) Dean and Tori have different ideas about when their marriage ended When Tori filed for divorce, she listed the date of separation as June 17, 2023. This date was no surprise to anyone who had followed their story. Dean’s filing, however, cites July 7, 2023 as the erstwhile couple’s date of separation. That is different by a few weeks. That is particularly interesting, because Dean was the one who took to social media to unilaterally announce their split on June 17. On June 17, 2023, Dean McDermott posted this Instagram caption announcing the end of his marriage. He deleted it hours later. (Image Credit: Instagram) One would think that, after nearly two decades of marriage, Tori and Dean would share a very clear idea of when the marriage ended. Especially because they apparently had a final, ugly fight just hours before Dean’s (since-deleted) Instagram announcement. They are, at least, seeing eye-to-eye on some things. Though Tori Spelling asked for sole physical custody of Liam, Stella, Hattie, Finn, and Beau, she did express that she feels open to join legal custody and to visitation rights for Dean. Stella McDermott, Tori Spelling, Liam McDermott, Dean McDermott, and guests attend the 2023 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One at The Kia Forum on January 14, 2023. (Photo Credit: Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Who deserves spousal support? It’s worth noting that Dean McDermott was working ahead of the couple’s split. Despite Dean’s admitted substance abuse issues that caused him to “rage” at his family, his work as the host of Chopped Canada was presumably gainful. So he and Tori can both bring in some income — it will be up to the court to decide who gets what. Speaking of which, the two did not have a prenuptial agreement. Division of property and assets will be another headache for the former couple — and for the court.

Khloe Kardashian treated Tristan and their kids to an unorthodox take-your-kids-to-work-day. Even though Khloe apparently once thought that Rob Kardashian was the baby daddy, Tatum is her second child with Tristan Thompson. Prior to his (now former) relationship with Khloe, Tristan was known within the subculture of sports fans for his basketball prowess. His kids, however, know him as their father. For the very first time, Khloe took both True and Tatum to watch Tristan play. Sometimes, viewers aren’t sure when Khloe Kardashian is kidding or not. (Image Credit: Hulu) Khloe Kardashian brought True and Tatum to watch Tristan Thompson play On Monday, May 13, Khloe Kardashian arrived at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. This was the sports arena where the Cleveland Cavaliers, the basketball team for which Tristan Thompson plays, will go up against another team, the Boston Celtics. (Notably, “Celtics” is mispronounced in the team name, with the C having an “S” sound) Apparently, this game is for Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. The game will take place on Wednesday, May 15. Khloe Kardashian is in the house for tonight’s Cavs game. pic.twitter.com/eS1ZJmbA8l — clevelanddotcom (@clevelanddotcom) May 13, 2024 According to a report by TMZ, this was more than just a visit. True and Tatum will be watching Tristan play professionally. True has reportedly been asking to attend one of Tristan’s games. So Khloe obliged, making this a special outing for her daughter. Tatum, who is not yet even two years old, is a little young to be a sportsball spectator. However, the report mentions that Khloe is excited to see how he reacts to watching his dad play. Tristan Thompson carries baby Tatum Thompson on The Kardashians. (Image Credit: Hulu) Khloe and kids weren’t alone when they showed up to watch Tristan play In addition to True Thompson and Tatum Thompson, Khloe Kardashian had another child in toe. That child was her nephew, Saint West. Saint is Kim’s second child and eldest son. Notably, Saint wore Tristan’s jersey to show support for his cousins’ father at the game. Cute! Tristan Thompson and Khloe Kardashian sit with their son, Tatum Thompson, on the season finale episode on which he made his public debut. (Image Credit: Hulu) For better or for worse, Khloe has repeatedly made it clear that she’s determined to have both kids spend a lot of time with Tristan. She has even pushed Tristan to spend more time with his other children in the past. Many of Khloe’s fans believe that her feeling of abandonment when her parents divorced drives this — and may have driven her to not break up with Tristan after his repeated cheating scandals. Ultimately, she did end up ditching him. But they’re dedicated to co-parenting, even if it means crossing time zones so that their kids can watch Tristan play. Khloe Kardashian out in Cleveland supporting Tristan Thompson pic.twitter.com/RNakgXpM8q — Celtics on NBC Sports Boston (@NBCSCeltics) May 13, 2024 Is Khloe Kardashian an Ozempic girlie? While most of the focus regarding Khloe’s visit to Cleveland pertains to True and Tatum, some are taking notice of Khloe’s figure. She seems to be extremely slender, beyond her famous “revenge body” from a decade ago. It’s probably inappropriate and premature for people to speculate about specific luxury weight-loss injections. But a lot of people are throwing around the Ozempic allegations in the replies to tweets about Khloe and the kids.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s charity has been found “delinquent” by the state of California. According to a report from People magazine, the Archewell Foundation has been ordered to halt soliciting, spending, or disbursing funds. The action seems to be related to a missed deadline for registration fees. Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex on the long Walk at Windsor Castle arrive to view flowers and tributes to HM Queen Elizabeth on September 10, 2022 in Windsor, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) People reports that Attorney General Rob Bonta issued a delinquency notice on behalf of the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Charity Is Delinquent: What Happens Next? According to legal documents obtained by the outlet, the Archewell Foundation is “listed as delinquent with the Registry of Charities and Fundraisers for failing to submit required annual report(s) and/or renewal fees.” “An organization that is listed as delinquent is not in good standing, reads a notice issued by the state. “And is prohibited from engaging in conduct for which registration is required, including soliciting or disbursing charitable funds.” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, arrive at the Lightway Academy in Abuja on May 10, 2024 as they visit Nigeria as part of celebrations of Invictus Games anniversary.

And its registration may be suspended or revoked by the Registry,” the letter continues. “Once you submit the delinquent record(s), you will be notified of the amount of any late fees that are owed.” A source close to the situation tells People that the organization filed on time. However, it seems a check that was mailed to the state was never received.

Consequently, they only became aware of the issue when they received a delinquency notice. According to the source, a new check has been mailed, and Archewell will soon be up and running once again.

(Photo by Andrew Esiebo/Getty Images for The Archewell Foundation) Understandably, Harry and Meghan have not spoken publicly on the matter. And it seems the couple is content to let their administrators handle this situation. Undoubtedly, this is just a minor bump in the road for an organization that’s done a great deal of good work. “Our mission is simple: show up, do good,” reads a mission statement on the Archewell website.

But you can be just as certain that the British tabloid press will have a field day with this setback.

Kelly Clarkson would like to set the record straight. On the Mat 13 episode of The Kelly Clarkson Show, the artist interviewed Whoopi Goldberg … and it didn’t take long at all for the conversation to turn to how much weight Goldberg has lost of late. “Every time I run into you, you look younger! You’re like Benjamin Button. It’s like crazy every time you walk in!” Clarkson told her guest.

(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) (Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) “First of all, it’s all the weight I’ve lost. I’ve lost almost two people,” replied Goldberg, who has won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony Award. “I am doing that wonderful shot that works for folks who need some help, and it’s been really good for me.” This admission led to an admission from Clarkson. The first-ever American Idol winner has also dropped MANY pounds, prompting speculation that she’s taking the weight loss drug Ozempic. Kelly Clarkson performs onstage during the SiriusXM Next Generation: Industry & Press Preview at The Tisch Skylights at The Shed on November 8, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for SiriusXM) “Mine is a different one than people assume, but I ended up having to do that too because my bloodwork got so bad,” Clarkson explained on air of the weight loss drug she uses, adding: “My doctor chased me for two years, and I was like, ‘No, I’m afraid of it. I already have thyroid problems. Everybody thinks it’s Ozempic, but it’s not. It’s something else.” Clarkson detailed how this unnamed medication is “something that aids in helping break down the sugar,” noting how her body “doesn’t do it right.” Ozempic has become extremely popular over the last several months, especially among celebrities. It is an FDA-approved prescription medications for people with type 2 diabetes and it works by convincing the brain that one is not hungry.

(Photo by Arturo Holmes/Getty Images) Clarkson — who finalized her ugly divorce from Brandon Blackstock in 2022 — told viewers that she was inspired to change after seeing a video of herself perform… and scarcely being able to recognize herself. Standing five foot three inches call, the artist said she was at 203 pounds at one point; that marked her heaviest weight. “I eat a healthy mix. I dropped weight because I’ve been listening to my doctor — a couple years I didn’t,” Kelly told People Magazine in January. “And 90 percent of the time I’m really good at it because a protein diet is good for me anyway.” Kelly Clarkson attends the SiriusXM Next Generation: Industry & Press Preview at The Tisch Skylights at The Shed on November 8, 2023 in New York City. (Photo by Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM) To be clear, Clarkson has also said she wasn’t a miserable person when she weighed more. This isn’t about one’s image or even self-confidence. It’s about health. Alongside guest Kevin James this year, Clarkson said she was pre-diabetic. “I wasn’t shocked by it. They were like, ‘You’re pre-diabetic. You’re right on the borderline.’ And I was like, ‘But I’m not there yet,’” Clarkson said at the time. “And then I waited two years and then I was like okay, I’ll do something about it.” Kelly Clarkson: I’m Not on Ozempic, Okay?!? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

50 Cent has responded to a challenge from Diddy’s embattled son King Combs. As you’ve likely heard by now, Diddy is under investigation for multiple sexual assault allegations. 50, a longtime rival of Diddy’s, has made no secret of the fact that he believes this particular downfall is long overdue. Curtis â50 Centâ Jackson speaks onstage at the BMF/STARZ â For Your Consideration 2024, on May 02, 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia. (Photo by Derek White/Getty Images for STARZ) Diddy hasn’t responded to 50’s taunts. And that’s likely because his lawyers have advised him not to remain silent for the time being. But King has decided to speak up on his dad’s behalf. And, like Drake picking a fight with Kendrick Lamar, he might wind up regretting it. King Combs Releases Diss Track Aimed at 50 Cent Sean “Diddy” Combs and Christian Combs attend the 2022 Billboard Music Awards at MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 15, 2022 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) As first reported by TMZ, King has recorded a diss track about 50. And the track contains some very scathing remarks about the hip hop legend. The track, titled “Pick a Side,” was streamed by DJ Akademiks ahead of its release. And if King was hoping for some controversy, it seems that he got what he wanted. “When all they had was 50 Cent who put this city on the map? Stop lyin’,” King raps at one point in the song. “Pops been hated on by many men and that’s fine/ They gon’ try to stop these M’s and they gon’ die tryin’,” he continued, referencing 50’s song “Many Men” and his iconic album, Get Rich or Die Trying. Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson attends the NFTE 2024 Entrepreneurial Spirits Award Gala at Guastavino’s on May 01, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) 50 Cent Responds to King Combs Diss Track Never one to shy away from a fight, 50 promptly took to social media to share his thoughts on his latest challenger. “I feel so threatened by the things Christian is saying on his record,” 50 sarcastically tweeted, using King’s real name. “I’m afraid for my life, please don’t hurt me guys. I never mentioned or posted anything about puffy’s kids because KEEFE D said he killed 2Pac.” That last part is a reference to Duane “Keefe D” Davis. Davis was arrested in September for his alleged involvement in the murder of Tupac Shakur.

(Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) “Now why would you say some shit like this when you know the FEDS are investigating. IS YOU STUPID OR IS YOU DUMB? LOL,” 50 tweeted, seemingly in response to those lines. It’s unclear if 50 intends to reply with a diss track of his own. But one thing is certain — the feud between 50 Cent and King Combs is definitely on! 50 Cent Responds to King Combs Diss Track: ‘I’m Afraid For My Life’ was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Christine Brown may have risen to small screen fame due to her unusual romantic relationship. But the veteran Sister Wives star knows what is truly important in life, and she took a moment on Sunday to acknowledge it for all of Instagram to see and appreciate. On May 12, the 52-year-old Sister Wives star celebrated Mother’s Day via a social media post dedicated to the six children she shares with her ex-husband Kody Brown: Aspyn, Mykelti, Padeon, Gwendlyn, Ysabel and Truley. Christine Brown opens up via a confessional in this Sister Wives scene. (TLC) “Gosh, it’s so fun being a Mom!!” Christne, who married David Woolley last October, captioned the post. She added: “I’m so blessed! I really think our kids are so cool and absolutely amazing people. #blessed #momlife #mothersday #amazingkids.” Indeed, all of these children have been nothing of supportive of their parent after she made the decision about two and a half years ago to leave her relationship with Kody. As you can see above, Christine’s montage of snapshots in tribute of her kids and the occasion included photos of her exploring Europe with her daughters… belting out karaoke at Gwendlyn’s wedding… spending time with her grandchildren… selfies with Janelle Brown’s late son, Garrison. On multiple occasions since the latter took his own life, Christine has shared her thoughts with fans and followers. “Every photo with Garrison in it is now infinitely more important than ever before,” Christine wrote in March, for example. “I am scrambling for just another glimpse of such an incredible man, brother, son…#alwaysbemissed #missyou #notenough.” Christine Brown looks downtrodden and disturbed on Sister Wives. (TLC) More recently, Christine seemed to be at a loss when it comes to moving on from this extremely painful loss. “It’s been two weeks since Garrison’s death. That’s never easier to say,” Christine told followers in a video a short while back. “I have to keep working because it’s what I understand. It’s what I know and it’s what I know I need to do. “And for me working some of the time means posting on social media and those of you that have understood that it’s just what I have to do to keep moving forward.” Garrison Brown died by suicide at age 25. RIP. (Image Credit: TLC) As you very likely know by now, Garrison Brown had committed suicide at the age of 25 on March 4. His body was discovered the following day by his very own brother. Said his parents in a joint statement after this tragic news was made public: “Kody and I are deeply saddened to announce the loss of our beautiful boy Robert Garrison Brown. “He was a bright spot in the lives of all who knew him. His loss will leave such a big hole in our lives that it takes our breath away. “We ask that you please respect our privacy and join us in honoring his memory.” Christine Brown: Motherhood is SUCH a Blessing! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Taylor Swift gave Travis Kelce an Eras Tour shout-out by dropping his jersey number, 87. Following the release of Taylor Swift’s record-shattering album, she has resumed her Eras World Tour. Until his sports duties resume, Travis is cheering on Taylor (just as she did for him) as she entertains thousands. Taylor isn’t especially talkative about the relationship. But that doesn’t mean that concert-goers aren’t hearing about the #87 Kansas City Chiefs player. Taylor Alison Swift, also known as Taylor Swift, performs on stage at the Paris La Defense Arena as part of her The Eras Tour, in Nanterre, north-western France, on May 9, 2024. (Photo Credit: JULIEN DE ROSA/AFP via Getty Images) 87 is a special number for Taylor Swift and for Travis Kelce On Sunday, May 12, Taylor Swift performed the Eras Tour. She is currently on the European leg of her world tour, having resumed touring in May after a hiatus of over a month. “Can you believe this is our 87th show of the Eras tour?” she asked the audience, rhetorically. This extremely successful tour pushed Taylor to billionaire status in 2023. However, Taylor wasn’t just throwing out that number at random. Probably. It seemed to be a reference to a certain someone. Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs waves to fans after defeating the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024. (Photo Credit: Jamie Squire/Getty Images) In the world of sports, athletes wear uniforms (often referred to as “jerseys”) that carry identifying information. Most significantly, a numeral. This allows spectators, coaches, and other players to identify them more easily. Travis Kelce is a sports player from the Kansas City Chiefs, a football team. His number is “87.” Thus, Taylor seemed to be making a reference to Travis Kelce. Cryptic? Only a little. Her concert audience and social media fans alike expressed their delight. Show #87 intro followed by full The Alchemy x Treacherous mashup ???????????? So basically Taylor Swift is just singing love songs to Travis Kelce in front of all of us. ????????????#TSTheErasTour Paris N4 pic.twitter.com/1Bzm57tjvf — Da????Otterside (@DaOtterside) May 12, 2024 That wasn’t Taylor Swift’s only reference to Travis Kelce As this tweet and many other mention, Taylor Swift mentioned “87” just before playing the song, “The Alchemy.” This song comes from Taylor’s album, The Tortured Poets Department. To be blunt, the lyrics of “The Alchemy” are so chock-full of references to football that fans believe that it could only be about Travis Kelce. Oh, and there may even be a Jason Kelce reference in “The Alchemy,” too. Travis Kelce #87 of the Kansas City Chiefs and Taylor Swift embrace after defeating the San Francisco 49ers in overtime during Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium on February 11, 2024. (Photo Credit: Ezra Shaw/Getty Images) Notoriously, Taylor Swift sings about her exes. They are not the only topics of her music, but they are the most famous (or infamous) subjects of her songs. The Tortured Poets Department had a lot to do with Joe Alwyn and surprisingly even more to do with Matty Healy. Joe was a long-term relationship with Taylor. Matty was a friend-turned-temporary-lover who honestly seems to suck as a person. But “The Alchemy” seemed to be about moving on to something new. And something sports-related. That would be #87, Travis Kelce. Taylor Swift Pays Tribute to Number 87 Travis Kelce on Eras Tour was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

But there was good reason for the separation. Meghan and Harry engaged in all sorts of humanitarian activities during their time in Nigeria, including visiting wounded veterans and hosting an event for the Women in Leadership organization. On Sunday, Meghan addressed the crowd at the Lago State House with a heartfelt and very personal speech.

It certainly won’t be our last,” Harry continued. “Thank you for the naming ceremony. I don’t know how I got dragged into that as well, but to be able to witness it as well next to my wife, it means a huge amount to both of us but especially her, so thank you for that.” The crowd reportedly responded to Harry’s lighthearted remarks with laughter.

Gypsy-Rose Blanchard may want to sit Mother’s Day out going forward. On Sunday, the polarizing figure record an eight-plus minute video in which she gave a shout-out to female parents everywhere on honor of this occasion… while even citing her own mother by name. This came as quite a shock to many observers, considering how Gypsy-Rose Blanchard spent over eight years in prison for conspiring to have her own mother killed. Blanchard was released in December. Gypsy Rose Blanchard speaks onstage during “An Evening with Lifetime: Conversations On Controversies” FYC event at The Grove on May 1, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Phillip Faraone/Getty Images) “Today is Mother’s Day, and I wanted to make a video basically celebrating the really strong and wonderful women that I have in my life that have been mother figures to me over the last eight and a half years,” Blanchard explained in the footage. “I first one to start off by saying I did turn off the comments to this video because I don’t want to hear any negative bullsh-t. If you want to talk sh-t about me, by all means, I don’t give an F. Go do it on your own platform, but I’m not going to see it in my comments.” From there, Blanchard actually brought up her mom, Dee Dee… who was killed in 2015 by Gypsy-Rose’s then-boyfriend Nicholas Godejohn… in a plot involving Gypsy-Rose. Gypsy Rose Blanchard attends “The Prison Confessions Of Gypsy Rose Blanchard” Red Carpet Event on January 5, 2024 in New York City. ((Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) “It does not go without notice that my own biological mother is not here to celebrate Mother’s Day and what I choose to feel on Mother’s Day regarding my own mother is that I think the best of her,” Blanchard continues. “I think about the good times. I think about her as not what she did to me, but I think about her as a person … Was she a good mom? No. “Was she the best mom in the world? No. But she was still my mom so what I choose to feel about her, whether that be guilt, anger, grief, resentment — whatever. That’s mine to feel. “No one can take away my own feelings about my own mother, and I feel like no one should be able to have an opinion about my mother except for her family and me because we were the people closest to her.” Gypsy Rose Blanchard is interviewed here from prison. (Image Credit: Investigation Discovery) According to most accounts, Blanchard was emotionally abused — in severe fashion — by her mother. Following her arrest in 2015, Gypsy pleaded guilty to second degree murder… while Nichols was eventually found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Blanchard testified back then about her mother’s supposed abuse, alleging that Dee Dee forced her to undergo unnecessary medical treatments… kept her isolated from the outside world… made her use a wheelchair … and told relatives that she suffered from various illnesses, including cancer. Now free from jail, Blanchard has made headlines for recently getting a nose job; splitting from her husband; and for an upcoming documentary about her journey. Gypsy Rose Blanchard served 8 years behind bars for the murder of her mother. (Image Credit: ABC) “I choose to remember her for the good that was in her heart that I truly believe was there,” Gypsy-Rose added in the TikTok video. “I have been working for years on forgiveness, and I hope that she is in heaven. “I hope that to some degree I make her proud of at least some of the achievements that I’ve made in my life in growing up and standing on my own two feet, learning through experiences, because in heaven, they say that all mental afflictions, all physical afflictions are gone, right? “It makes you perfect in heaven, so if you take away the mental afflictions that my mother had, then I think what’s left is a good person.” Overall, Blanchard said she has numerous regrets, yet added that she will say a prayer for her mother and will remember “the good that was inside of her.” Gypsy-Rose Blanchard, Convicted Mother Killer, Wishes Everyone a Happy Mother’s Day was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Kaya Jones has spoken out against Nick Carter before. Now, she’s doing so in a docuseries. For years, the public and courtrooms alike have heard details of multiple women’s assault allegations towards Nick Carter. Melissa Schuman’s allegations are part of the docuseries, too. The chilling doc also covers the tragedy of Aaron Carter. The late singer and Kaya Jones both voiced support for each other amidst the allegations against his brother. Kaya Jones speaks onstage during Politicon 2018. (Photo Credit: Phillip Faraone/Getty Images for Politicon) Pussycat Dolls alum Kaya Jones has spoken out against Nick Carter In November of 2017, Melissa Schuman spoke out against Nick Carter, accusing him of sexual assault. During a lengthy blog post at the time, she detailed how the two had worked together in the early 2000s. According to her allegations, Carter had sexually assaulted her. One day after Schuman spoke out, Kaya Jones took to Twitter to condemn the Backstreet Boys member. In November of 2017, Kaya Jones took to Twitter to condemn Nick Carter and support the women accusing him of sexual assault. (Image Credit: Twitter) “Nick Carter was my boyfriend while I was in the Pussycat Dolls,” Kaya Jones wrote on Twitter at the time. “He knew about the abuse I endured and did nothing. I guess I now know why,” she added. Jones concluded her tweet: “Disgusting. Disgraceful. Disgusted in my heart. Especially because he was a victim of abuse himself. Shame on you Nick!” Nick Carter attends iHeartRadio KISS108’s Jingle Ball 2022 Presented by Capital One at TD Garden on December 11, 2022. (Photo Credit: Scott Eisen/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) What does Kaya Jones mean? Jones has previously leveled accusations that she suffered abuse while part of the Pussycat Dolls. While other members of the group have denied sharing her experience, she likened the group to a “prostitution ring” with music executives able to prey upon them. Some have speculated that Jones may have been singled out by one or more predators within the industry. Sometimes, powerful industry predators will mislead victims to believe that “everyone” operates in this way. This deceitful tactic makes victims feel that they cannot come forward. Nick Carter of Backstreet Boys performs onstage at the iHeartRadio Z100âs Jingle Ball 2022 Presented by Capital One at Madison Square Garden on December 9, 2022. (Photo Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) As for what Kaya Jones is saying about Carter in the 2017 tweet, it was seemingly a reference to Schuman’s November 18 blog post of that year. At the time, Schuman (of the group Dream) alleged that Carter had removed her pants without her consent, performed oral sex on her against her will, and then sexually assaulted her in a bedroom. Nick Carter has denied the allegations, as he has with multiple other women who have come forward. The late Aaron Carter voiced support for multiple women, including exes of older brother Nick Carter and women who had accused the Backstreet Boys singer of assault. (Image Credit: Twitter) Aaron Carter and Kaya Jones showed support for each other In his final years, Aaron Carter spoke out strongly against his older brother. He emphasized that he believed that Nick was guilty of the crimes he had been accused of. Nick Carter’s defenders have pointed out that Aaron Carter and at least some of the accusers (including Kaya Jones) have a history of making outlandish statements. Supporters of the accusers have pointed out that the same is true of some of Harvey Weinstein’s accusers. And there is also the argument that sometimes people who are least likely to be believed become targets. Both Nick Carter and the late Aaron Carter are subjects of a docuseries, Fallen Idols: Nick and Aaron Carter. Airing on May 27 and May 28 on Investigation Discovery and streaming on Max, the series examines the brothers, the allegations, and more. It’s clear from the trailer that Kaya Jones is not mincing words about Nick Carter. That was also evident from her tweets.

Lindsay Hubbard has officially re-entered the dating scene. And it seems that her first post-engagement fling might be getting serious. As Summer House fans are no doubt aware, Lindsay ended her engagement to Carl Radke last year. Carl Radke and Lindsay Hubbard attend the 2022 NBCUniversal Upfront at Mandarin Oriental Hotel at Radio City Music Hall on May 16, 2022 in New York City. (Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images) And if a new report from Reality Blurb is accurate, then Lindsay has no qualms about her new man crossing paths with her old one. The site claims that Lindsay recently attended a wedding in Portugal with her new boyfriend by her side. Carl and several other members of the Summer House cast were also in attendance.

(Photo by Mark Sagliocco/Getty Images for The Headstrong Project) Lindsay Hubbard Brings New Boyfriend to Destination Wedding Very little is known about Lindsay’s new man, but fans are certain that he accompanied her to Portugal. They’ve uncovered clues — such as an Instagram Story showing two shadows side-by-side at the beach — which do seem to indicate that Lindsay brought a date. “[Lindsay] coming at us [with] a soft launch of someone!!” wrote one commenter, according to Reality Blurb.

(Photo by Theo Wargo/Getty Images) So it seems that Lindsay wants fans to know she’s happily dating someone. But she’s not quite ready to introduce him. That makes sense, of course. After all, Lindsay’s last relationship ended in disaster, and it all played out publicly. Lindsay and Carl Called Things Off Unexpectedly Appearing on Watch What Happens Live last month, Lindsay shared her heartbreak with host Andy Cohen.

(Photo by Craig Barritt/Getty Images for Movember Foundation) She said she now realizes that she and Carl should not have gotten married. But she added that the decision to split was still painful. “I think like, you know, it would have been a really long, tough road ahead in my future,” she shared. “But, you know, it’s complicated, right? I spent all summer, I spent an entire almost year planning a wedding and grinding and organizing so much for it. So it’s a little frustrating.” Lindsay Hubbard attends the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards: UNSCRIPTED at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California and broadcast on June 5, 2022.

Sorry.” “That’s totally fine. I’m very loyal, hard-working, I will try and try and try,” Lindsay replied. “I was in it, I was in love with this man. He was the love of my life, we were going to get married. He was my best friend for eight years.” During the same appearance, Lindsay revealed that she was completely blindsided by Carl’s decision to end their relationship.

Thankfully, Lindsay Hubbard is now dating again, and fans couldn’t be happier about it. Actually, they’d be happier if she would go public with her new dude.

Kate Gosselin just shocked the world. No, she didn’t make up with her ex-husband; and, no, she didn’t take any responsibility as a poor and/or selfish parents who has made many mistakes over the past many years. Instead… Gosselin gave us an intimate glimpse at four of her kids! Kate Gosselin of the reality TV show Kate Plus 8 visits “Extra” at The Levi’s Store Times Square on June 11, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) The polarizing reality star shared a rare photo of four of her sextuplets via Instagram on Sunday, May 12, marking their 20th birthdays by doing so. “No more teenagers in this house!” the 49-year-old wrote alongside a snapshot of children Alexis, Aaden, Leah and Joel, addling along with these words: “Happy 20th birthday, my forever babies! I love you! Who feels old? I know I do! #20yearsold #ItsaPICKLE” As you can see below, the kids are hanging out in front of a birthday cake with two numbered candles marking this milestone occasion. Moreover, the chocolate-frosted cake is decorated with peppers and a pickle. Gosselin, of course, has two other kids who also turned 20 over the weekend. Their names are Hannah and Collin, but they’ve been living with Jon Gosselin for quite a long time now. The former spouses (who became household names back when they were married and co-stars on the TLC reality show Jon and Kate Plus 8) certainly don’t talk… and rarely say nice things about each other in general. Back in 2016, Collin was sent (by Kate) to live at Fairmont Behavioral Health Institute in Pennsylvania. He has since accused his mother of emotional and physical abuse.

Brown/Getty Images) “After being there, I didn’t have a relationship with her,” Collin has said of Kate in reference to being institutionalized. “Even before [being] there, I don’t think we had much of a relationship and I think that just kept tearing it even more down.” In response to the aforementioned accusations, meanwhile, Kate has fired back at both Collin and Jon, trashing them as liars. “I’ve kept quiet for a LONG time but I’m tired of Collin and Jon controlling what has become my narrative — and it’s ALL false,” she wrote in July 2023, for example. “Time to take back my own story!” Kate Gosselin promotes the new book “Love Is In The Mix: Making Meals Into Memories With Family-Friendly Recipes, Tips And Traditions” at Barnes & Noble Staten Island on September 24, 2013 in New York City. (Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images) Kate Gosselin also issued a lengthy statement last summer on Instagram that referred to Collin as troubled and violent. She said he has “received multiple psychiatric diagnoses over the years,” has had many “attacks/outbursts,” one of which involved a “weapon,” and: “His brothers and sisters and I have not been directly involved in his life due to his history of unpredictable behavior and violent tendencies towards us.” Kate concluded by stating “this is all I have to say on the matter and I will not be discussing this subject any further at this time.” Kate Gosselin poses for a photo on SiriusXM’s “Broadminded” radio show at SiriusXM Studio on March 2, 2012 in Washington, DC. (Photo by Kris Connor/Getty Images) Jon — who has custody at this point of Collin and Hannah — also paid tribute to the sextuplets in an Instagram Live session this weekend. “I can’t believe they’re 20 either,” he responded to fan. “I wished all my kids happy birthday publicly.” Hannah, for her part, shared new images of herself on social media on her and her siblings’ birthday. “Made you look, twice,” she wrote on Instagram. #20thbirthday.” Kate Gosselin Shares VERY Rare Photo of Kids, Celebrates Milestone Birthday was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Olivia Munn is taking all of the smart, difficult steps to reduce her cancer risk. In March, Olivia Munn disclosed her breast cancer diagnosis. At the time, she underwent a double mastectomy to halt the spread of her very aggressive form of cancer. That was not all. The actress has since undergone another life-altering surgery, and with very good reason. Olivia Munn attends the 96th Annual Academy Awards on March 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: Rodin Eckenroth/Getty Images) Olivia Munn took surgical steps to combat her cancer In March, Olivia Munn opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis on Instagram. Now, Olivia Munn has opened up to Vogue in a detailed profile, one that came out on Sunday, May 12. The actress underwent a full hysterectomy in April. This was, she explained, “the best” decision to halt her body’s production of estrogen — and thus, to save her life. During her Vogue profile, Olivia Munn detailed her surgery and why it was the best way of preventing her cancer from returning. “I have now had an oophorectomy and hysterectomy,” Munn shared. She explained: “I took out my uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries.” Olivia Munn attends the Vanity Fair Oscars Party at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, California, on March 10, 2024. (Photo Credit: MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) Why did Olivia Munn undergo a full hysterectomy? This was, Munn explained, the best route to end her body’s production of estrogen. Luminal B breast cancer thrives on estrogen. Her body was naturally producing it and would continue to produce the hormone for years, which would have meant years of this unnecessary risk. “It was a big decision to make, but it was the best decision for me because I needed to be present for my family,” Munn affirmed.

Don’t worry,'” Olivia Munn shared. “But I just kept thinking to myself, ‘I’m going to remember this, that I missed all these things,'” she admitted. Munn added: “It’s his childhood, but it’s my motherhood, and I don’t want to miss any of these parts if I don’t have to.” Olivia Munn has undergone five surgeries during her battle with cancer She has undergone a full double mastectomy, a lymph node dissection, reconstructive surgery, and also a nipple delay. (A nipple delay is a surgery to essentially allow the nipple to form new connections with breast tissue) Prior to her hysterectomy, Munn was taking Lupron to suppress her body’s estrogen production. But the side effects were miserable — miserable enough that major surgery was the preferable solution.

(Photo Credit: VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images) “It was next-level, debilitating exhaustion,” Olivia Munn explained. Taking the hormone suppressor had essentially kept her bedridden. “I would wake up in the morning and almost immediately need to get back into bed,” she described. “If you asked Malcolm, ‘Where does daddy work?’ He’d run to his desk, and if you asked him, ‘Where does mommy work?’ He’d point to my bed,” Munn said of her son with John Mulaney. “It was so sweet. But at the same time, it was breaking my heart because this is his image of me.” Olivia Munn froze her eggs for the third time ahead of this major surgery “After my diagnosis, we decided to try one more round of egg retrievals and hoped it was a good month,” Munn shared. Her previous egg harvests were when she was 33 and 39. “John and I talked about it a lot and we don’t feel like we’re done growing our family, but didn’t know if I would have to do chemotherapy or radiation,” she detailed. Olivia Munn has expressed tremendous gratitude towards her family, her friends, and towards John Mulaney.

Jana Duggar returned to Instagram this week following a hiatus of more than two years. The former reality star used to share frequent updates with her 750,000 followers. But she stepped away from social media altogether in response to a string of scandals involving her family. Jana Duggar talks to producers during her time on Counting On. (TLC) Jana Duggar Returns to Instagram: What Did She Post? Unlike most of her adult siblings, Jana is single and still lives at home with her parents. But that doesn’t mean that she’s not living a rich and meaningful life. Jana assists her parents with the work of raising her youngest siblings, and she’s forever taking on tasks around her family’s property. Jana Duggar appears on one of her family’s TLC reality shows. (TLC) Jana loves gardening, so it’s no surprise that her first Instagram post in two years was a short video of her flowers with a caption reading, “Spring beauty.” “So beautiful … Hopefully, you will begin to share more beautiful things like this,” one fan commented, according to In Touch. “I’ve missed your posts. You’re a very talented green thumb. Would love to see more of your garden! Would love some tutorials or tips you’d like to share this summer!!” another added. Jana Duggar during one of her appearances on TLC. (TLC) “It’s great to see you posting again,” a third chimed in. Yes, commenters were quick to welcome her back, and many expressed hope that she would continue posting. Now it looks like those fans got their wish. Jana Honors Her Mom on Mother’s Day Just two days after Jana’s return, she posted a Mother’s Day tribute to Michelle Duggar. Once again, Jana was instantly flooded with “likes” and comments, some of them from her siblings. “Aww wish I could be there today!” wrote Jinger Duggar. Jana Duggar films a confessional segment for one of her family’s TLC reality shows. (TLC) “She’s the best!!!” Jessa Duggar chimed in. The Duggars have long had a complex relationship with social media. For many years, Jim Bob and Michelle had a rule that their kids could only join Instagram once they had entered a committed relationship. However, they’ve since eased up on that restriction. Jason Duggar speaks to the camera during an appearance on his family’s TLC reality show. (TLC) These days, there are several single Duggars on social media. The list includes 24-year-old Jason Duggar who recently created a minor controversy when he posted a shirtless gym selfie. Such content, of course, goes against Jim Bob and Michelle’s teachings regarding “modesty” and decorum. As for Jana, we may never know for certain what prompted her to return to social media after so long an absence. But we know that her hundreds of thousands of followers are happy to have he back.

As the saying goes, the past is often prologue. And if this is really the case, those close to Britney Spears are reportedly extremely concerned about the singer. Back on May 1, Spears appeared to get injured in some sort of argument with her questionable boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz. Paramedics were called to the scene, along with the police, but Spears was never taken to the hospital; nor were any charges filed. Britney Spears performs on stage during Showtime’s live broadcast of Britney’s Onyx Hotel tour show at the American Airlines Arena March 28, 2004 in Miami, Florida. (Photo by Frank Micelotta/Getty Images) The incident was quite strange, however, with fellow hotel guests in Los Angeles claiming Britney was very disheveled and making very little sense at the time everything transpired. According to The Daily Mail, Britney was “clad in her underwear, clutching a pillow and [looking] distressed” at the scene of whatever took place. Spears also had abrasions on her knees… may have been topless … and looked disheveled as she held the pillow to her chest. In the days since these calls were placed to the authorities, Britney has trashed all reporting on the alleged fracas as fake news and said she’s perfectly healthy and everything is fine.

(Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) Spears also said she was moving to Boston — and, as has so often been the case of late, made very little sense in a number of rambling Instagram messages and videos. This might explain why an insider tells In Touch Weekly that Britney’s “family thinks she needs help,” despite having been estranged from Spears for many years. “They’re considering their options,” the tabloid source says. “Britney’s been on a downward spiral for a while now. What happened at the hotel was like a flashback to 2008.” Britney Spears, winner of the Video Vanguard Award and Best Pop Video Award for ‘Till the World Ends’ poses in the press room during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE on August 28, 2011 in Los Angeles. (Photo by Jason Merritt/Getty Images) Ah, yes, 2008. That was the year in which Spears attacked the paparazzi with an umbrella and shaved her head. In February of that year, the artist was placed on three-day psychiatric hold on the order of a psychiatrist. Spears lost custody of her two sons around this time and was ordered last year to undergo random drug and alcohol tests by the court handling her bitter custody dispute with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

(Photo by Vivien Killilea/Getty Images for GLAAD) Britney Spears just finalized her divorce and is no longer living under a conservatorship controlled by her father. This may have positive connotations, but it also means the star is very much alone these days. She also remains very angry at her parents, even blaming her mother for supposedly setting her up during the aforementioned hotel incident. “I know my mom was involved !!!” Britney wrote online several days ago. “I haven’t talked to her in 6 months and she called right after it happened before the news being out !!! I was set up just like she did way back when !!! I wish I had grandparents !!! I can’t stand her !!! I honestly don’t care I will say it.” As always, we send our best wishes to Spears and simply hope and pray she is doing alright.

Tyler Baltierra is keeping things very real. And also very raw. The long-time Teen Mom cast member posted a lengthy note on his Instagram Story this weekend after his wife, Catelynn, came under fire a few days ago. Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn attend the 2018 MTV Video Music Awards at Radio City Music Hall on August 20, 2018 in New York City. (GETTY) Back on May 9, Catelynn re-shared a message that referenced the notion that “adoption is a beautiful thing,” stating on social media at the time: “Oh, how often I hear these words and it makes me cringe. “Yes. Adoption can be a beautiful story. But the phrase brushes aside the heartache, the pain, and the loss that so often comes along with it.” Tyler and Catelynn gave up their daughter Carly back when they were teenagers — although they’ve been granted visitation opportunities many times over the years by her adoptive parents. Tyler and Catelynn on the beach. So cute! (Instagram) It sounds now, however, as if these same parents have been recently denying Tyler and Catelynn the chance to see Carly… which at least partly inspired Catelynn’s bitter response above. “That choice does not come without a natural human cost,” explained Tyler of giving away your child. “Most will never know the pain of what it takes to fight against the most powerful, biological & instinctual nature that’s required to make that choice. “Most will never know what it’s like to grow, nurture, love & carry such a beautiful perfect innocence like your own baby… only to painfully relinquish that natural bond to another to do what you know you can’t for the sake of your baby.” What a moving moment fo Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell. They just reunited with their adopted daughter on Teen Mom. (MTV) Acknowledging that Catelynn, in particular, “fights this pain everyday,” the 32-year-old went on to call out the strangers who have come down on the reality star for sharing her feelings. “Her expressing that pain on those particular days when she is vulnerable, sad & at a loss, should not be used as an attack against her character,” Tyler wrote online. “All I ask of you is to just PLEASE be kind.” Seems like a fair ask, in our opinion. Tyler Baltierra and Catelynn Lowell are pictured here on the set of a Teen Mom reunion special. (Photo Credit: MTV) Tyler and Catelynn reunited with Carly about a year ago. We don’t know the last time they saw her or tried to see her, though. Tyle — who also shares daughters Novalee, 9, Vaeda, 5, and Rya, 2, with his spouse — went on to say that despite a “mutually agreed upon” plan to visit Carly every year, the pair has been denied the opportunity “MULTIPLE times” to see Carly and their frustration over the situation is “nothing new or foreign.” “There is nothing we have done in our personal lives that has influenced this decision,” he continued. “But at the end of the day, Brandon & Teresa are HER PARENTS! They are the only ones who have the authority to make these decisions.” Tyler Baltierra Defends Wife, Pleads with Haters to “Be Kind” was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

(Photo by Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)) The reporter appeared on air just a day before his shocking death, with colleagues saying he showed no signs of illness on May 9 or of any of anything being wrong at all. Rubin remained with only KTLA for the duration of his career, which kicked off over three decades ago and which quickly established Rubin as a star in his industry due to his breadth film and television — along with his charisma. On camera, Rubin was known to be jocular and warm, often talking about his activities with his wife and four kids. He came across every A-lister you can imagine or cite, as an interview with Rubin was a regular part of any promotional tour.

(Photo by Maury Phillips/Getty Images for GBK Productions) “Sam was an icon in Los Angeles and the entertainment industry and he was a beloved member of our Nexstar Nation. My prayers are with his family and the KTLA family as we mourn his passing. He will be missed,” Perry Sook, chairman and CEO of Nexstar, said in a statement. Added NBC Los Angeles anchor Lynette Romero, who worked with Rubin at KTLA for nearly 25 years: “He would appreciate all of us saying how much we loved him… “I don’t think he knew that this was his dream job. I don’t think he knew this was his destiny, but it was. “He knew every celebrity and every celebrity knew him. I don’t know if there’s one person he wanted to interview that he didn’t get to interview… “It will be very hard to move on past that, but he would want that. And he would want all of us to remember him and think of him and smile because he did that for other people.” KTLA’s Sam Rubin and 26th SAG Awards Ambassador Logan Browning attend the Silver Carpet Roll Out Event for the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at The Shrine Auditorium on January 17, 2020 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images for Turner) Actor Yvette Nicole Brown called “a friend” on Twitter, noting “I enjoyed all the times I got to visit him at KTLA.” And Rubin’s longtime colleague and friend Frank Buckley praised the late reporter as follows: “The Sam that you saw on the air is the Sam that was off the air. Our hearts are broken. To all of us he shared his mornings with on television, and to those he worked with behind the scenes … we will not forget him. Quite simply, Sam was KTLA.” Sam Rubin is survived by his wife, Leslie, and four children. May he rest in peace.
