We’ve got a sad shocker out of the world of reality television and business. According to Us Weekly and other reliable celebrity gossip outlets, Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon have broken up after six years of dating. The aforementioned tabloid cited an anonymous friend of Frankel’s in its Monday night report, someone who said the relationship “just wasn’t going to work” and who added that the romance ended two months ago.

(Photo by Presley Ann/Getty Images for MTV) “They are so different – he’s an under the radar kind of guy,” the Us Weekly source explained. The Skinnygirl mogul and former Real Housewives of New York City cast member began dating Bernon in October 2018 after meeting him on a dating app. About one year later, Frankel and Bernon moved in together in Boston. “I was pretty lucky when I walked in and saw him,” Frankel told People Magazine in April 2021 of the pair’s very first date. “He had a twinkle. He came as advertised — better than advertised. He overshot the mark.” Bethenny Frankel attends the Prime Video’s “Upgraded” New York Screening at iPic Fulton Market on February 7, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Michael Loccisano/Getty Images) Frankel, whose mother recently passed away, said on The Ellen Degeneres Show in October 2020 that she and Bernon had gone their separate ways. “We’ve had a great, great relationship,” she said back then. “Not everything has to end badly. Some things just don’t continue and it’s not negative, it’s just life.” Except that Bethenny and Paul got back together about three months later. And then got engaged in the spring of 2021.

(Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Bernon popped the romantic question “on an island off of Florida” in an “intimate” proposal, Frankel shared at the time. “No makeup, no manicure, no ring photos. It was very simple and beautiful.” Added Frankel after agreeing to become Bernon’s wife: “Paul’s an absolutely beautiful person and it’s an exciting, fun time.” It’s unclear exactly where things went wrong — but Frankel has not always been seen with her engagement ring on and she told E! News last July that there were no immediate plans to exchange vows.

(Photo by Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images for Bliss) “I don’t want to build a wedding,” the star said at the time. “I love my life. I love my fiancé. He’s an amazing life partner and I don’t want to sign a contract with someone I love. I don’t want to plan a massive wedding for everybody else and not [do] what we want. I like doing what you want, not what society wants you to do.” Frankel was previously married to Jason Hoppy from 2010 to 2012; the union ended in a divorce and in an ugly custody battle over daughter Brynn. “It was literally the most traumatizing thing I will hopefully ever go through in my life,” Frankel said on an April episode of her podcast. “I have been through a f–king war. I have questioned myself as a human, as a parent, because I was told so many times otherwise how terrible I was and disgusting and old and irrelevant and abused, because I had no power to get out of it.” Bethenny Frankel and Paul Bernon: WHOA!

Will Stray Kids attend the Met Gala? The list of confirmed 2024 Met Gala guests included mainstays and newcomers alike. But the list was also incomplete. Historically, no K-Pop group has ever attended the Met Gala. The event is notoriously exclusive, with Anna Wintour personally exercising final say over attendees. Is 2024 a major milestone for one of the world’s most popular music genres?

(Photo Credit: Ezra Acayan/Getty Images) Stray Kids is an immensely popular K-Pop group In 2018, Stray Kids formed under JYP Entertainment. The boy band debuted after appearing on the survival show, Stray Kids. Bang Chan, Lee Know, Changbin, Hyunjin, Han, Felix, Seungmin, and I.N. make up Stray Kids’ eight members. The band has sold more than 21 million albums worldwide. They are immensely popular in many countries — including the United States. Prior to the 2024 Met Gala, Stray Kids’ latest album was ROCK-STAR. ROCK-STAR debuted at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. This was the boy band’s fourth time scoring the Number 1 spot. While that cements the band’s worldwide celebrity status, it is not (presumably) of particular interest to Anna Wintour as she carefully curates the list of invitations for the Met Gala.

(Photo Credit: Theo Wargo/Getty Images for MTV) The eight members of Stray Kids are also fashion icons. As with all boy bands, from the Backstreet Boys to The Beatles, Stray Kids are selling more than just music. There’s an image, a projection of personality. A brand. Stray Kids act as brand ambassadors for various luxury designers. Many of which are very familiar names for Met Gala attendees. Hyunjin has the distinction of being the very first Korean Global Brand Ambassador for Versace. Meanwhile, in 2023, Felix became a house ambassador for Louis Vuitton. And that matters to Anna Wintour. Stray Kids makes history tonight as the first K-Pop group to be officially invited to the Met Gala. pic.twitter.com/NIHqxP1yHk — Viral Takes (@viraltakes) May 6, 2024 Yes, Stray Kids is attending the 2024 Met Gala Just days ahead of the May 6, 2024 Met Gala, Stray Kids put on a livestream for their legions of fans. During the livestream, Seungmin (if you don’t know them apart, he often has the floofiest hair) made the announcement. Not only had they received a coveted invitation to what many dub to be the “Oscars of fashion,” but Seungmin revealed that the band was fully prepared to attend. Not every Met Gala attendee fully understands the assignment. Meanwhile, many first-time attendees blow everyone out of the water with their spectacular and stylish choices. Remember, the point of the Met Gala — aside from the obvious charity work — is not simply to look good. It is to fit a specific prompt. 2024’s prompt was “The Garden of Time.” Let’s hope that Stray Kids’ first Met Gala leaves a lasting and positive impression.

Who is Luke Newton dating? Bridgerton fans hope that Nicola Coughlan’s on-screen boyfriend will soon be Luke Newton, who portrays Colin Bridgerton on the Netflix hit. But on-screen romances seldom translate to real-life relationships. Luke Newton’s dating history is not a mystery. Luke Newton attends the “Bridgerton” Season 3 launch on the grounds of Milton Park Country House on April 21, 2024. (Photo Credit: James Gourley/Getty Images for Netflix) From 2016 to 2018, Luke Newton was dating Sophie Simnett Even though Luke Newton keeps his dating life (mostly) private, much of his relationship history remains public knowledge. It helps when he dates costars. Luke Newton costarred on the Disney Channel UK series The Lodge. Newton portrayed Ben Evans, and his costar Sophie Simnett portrayed Skye Hart. Information about their entanglement remains fairly limited. That is totally appropriate. Though they were older than the show’s target audience, they were still young actors. Luke Newton’s romance with Jade Louise Davies was much more public Jade Louise Davies is also an actor. The two bonded over a mutual interest in both acting and singing. According to The Sun, the two began dating in 2019. Davies, of Welsh of the West End fame, is an accomplished theater performer. Perhaps this was why she and Newton felt so comfortable appearing together at red carpet events — including promotions for Bridgerton.

(Photo Credit: Lia Toby/Getty Images) As a couple, Luke Newton and Jade Davies created many memories During their erstwhile relationship, Luke Newton and Jade Louise Davies vacationed in the Netherlands together and took to social media to share their relationship with fans. In fact, Newton gushed to PopSugar in 2021 about their relationship — including Davies’ habit of scrapbooking their photos. “She’s got an amazing memory, much better than mine, so it’s kind of nice for me to look back and go, ‘Oh, that’s what we were doing that day,’ rather than just remembering the photo,” he praised at the time.

The Sun explained at the time that their busy scheduled had put a strain on their relationship, causing them to drift apart. Still, four years was quite a run for the relationship. Since then, Davies has begun dating Morgan Gregory, a WestEnd actor. Perhaps their shared theater careers will help them to avoid encountering the same distance issues that she had with Newton.

As of the spring of 2024, there is no clear evidence of Newton dating anyone. Or, if he is, he’s avoiding any semblance of a relationship on social media or in real-life appearances. It is easy for an internationally recognizable television star to appear in photos after a simple date to the movies or a restaurant, but without anything of the sort materializing, most assume that he is currently single. Perhaps Luke Newton’s ‘Bridgerton’ character will have more luck For multiple seasons, the slow burn romance between Colin and Penelope has tantalized Bridgerton viewers. Bridgerton fans spent the months ahead of the May 16 Season 3 premiere (with the second portion of the season set to premiere the following June 13) hoping that they’ll get to see Colin and Penelope’s relationship actually turn into, well, a relationship. It is only natural for fans of the show, the characters, and the actors to wonder about their real-life romances.

Janelle Brown had a reason to celebrate on Sunday. And also a reason to mourn. Ahead of her 55th birthday (today, May 6! Best wishes to the Sister Wives cast member!), Brown jumped on her Instagram Story to post a photo of her outdoor gardening area in North Carolina… where she spends part of her time when she’s away from her home in Flagstaff, Arizona. On a late 2022 episode of Sister Wives, Janelle Brown speaks up. (Image Credit: TLC) “The NC garden adventure begins (technically I’m at the last part of planing seasons but that’s life lol),” Janelle wrote as a caption to the image. After sharing a multitude of birthday messages from her loved ones, the mother of six then uploaded a picture of herself smiling as she sat in front of what looks to be a (delicious!) German chocolate cake. “A little red faced from working in the garden,” the TLC personality wrote, noting that the dessert item — which her daughter, Madison Brush, made — was tasty AF. (We’re paraphrasing there.) The 55-year old, of course, had to enjoy her special occasion with late son Garrison by her side. Garrison Brown and his mother, Janelle, on Sister Wives. (TLC/Youtube) As you likely know by now, Garrison died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on March 4. Last month Janelle also used Instagram to honor what would have been Garrison’s 26th birthday via an emotional tribute video. “Happy Birthday Sweetheart,” she wrote at the time. “We are missing you terribly today. It’s hard to believe you aren’t here anymore… “I still feel you nearby sometimes. And I’m grateful we will see each other again when my journey is completed.” Janelle Brown gets deep in this scene from Sister Wives. (Image Credit: TLC) In the many weeks since losing Garrison, we’ve learned — via text messages obtained by In Touch Weekly that Garrison sent to family members and friends leading up to his final moment — that Garrison had suicidal thoughts toward the end of his life. In a group chat with people who have worked with the Browns, Garrison responded to a photo of a friendly paintball fight by writing: “I want to hate you for sharing the good times. But I can’t. I miss these days.” In the most heartbreaking exchange that leaked onlline, Janelle told her son she saw the “text you sent to the troop” and said she was concerned about Garrison as a “whole person.” Responded Garrison at one point: “I gave Gabe my firing pistons a while ago I know you guys worry about my suicidal tendencies.“ Garrison Brown died by suicide at age 25. RIP. (Image Credit: TLC) It’s all so very, very tragic. Previously, local authorities confirmed that one of Garrison’s roommates said she and Garrison had been talking of late about the latter’s deflated mental state. The Flagstaff police report went on to say that this friend “stated that he knew that [Garrison] was having problems with his ex-girlfriend and that he was not a very happy person.” Relatedly, in a confessional interview at one point in 2022, Janelle expressed concern over her sons’ lack of connection with their father as a result of Kody Brown’s strict COVID-19 family rules. “I have worried about my boys’ mental health. Gabriel feels everything very, very deeply. But he’s also the kid who doesn’t say anything,” Janelle said back then. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255), text “STRENGTH” to the Crisis Text Line at 741-741 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org Janelle Brown Celebrates First Birthday Since Son’s Suicide was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Jared Leto’s adventurous sense of style has made him a Met Gala legend. No doubt many fashion fans are hoping that Jared will once again wow the industry with one of his bold couture looks at tonight’s star-studded fundraiser. Sadly, it sounds like those folks will be disappointed this year. Jared Leto attends the 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards at Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on April 01, 2024. Broadcasted live on FOX. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Jared Leto Will NOT Be Attending the 2024 Met Gala In a recent interview with E! News, Jared revealed that he’ll be forced to skip this year’s Met Gala. The reason? Well, in addition to his work as an actor, Jared is the frontman for the band 30 Seconds to Mars. The popular rock group is currently on tour for the first time in a long time. And Jared’s busy concert schedule will prevent him from working the red carpet at this year’s gala. Jared Leto attends iHeartRadio Q102’s Jingle Ball 2023 at Wells Fargo Center on December 12, 2023 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by Lisa Lake/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) “Back on the road,” Jared told the outlet. “It’s been five years.” Jared added that while he won’t be in attendance, he will be keeping an eye on the event to see what memorable looks his celebrity friends are rocking. “I will be there in spirit with my head and my cat wishing everybody a beautiful night,” he told E! Jared Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars performs onstage at the 2024 iHeartRadio ALTer EGO Presented by Capital One at the Honda Center on January 13, 2024 in Anaheim, California. (Photo by Rich Polk/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) Yes, Jared has rocked some very memorable looks at past Met Galas, including a giant cat costume and a fake second head. Needless to say, his presence will be greatly missed at this year’s fundraiser. But we can’t blame him for missing it. After all, the man has a lot on his plate!

(Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for iHeartRadio) In addition to touring, Jared is currently filming Tron: Ares. He remarked to E! that the experience of performing live and that of filming a big-budget science fiction film could not be more different. “It’s very strange, to be honest, because the shows are about absolute freedom,” Jared said, “and acting is all about control.” “It’s cool to do them both,” he continued. “I’ve never really done it at the same exact time before. It’s pretty intense. It’s going to be an interesting experience.” Jared Leto of Thirty Seconds to Mars performs live on stage during day two of Lollapalooza Brazil at Autodromo de Interlagos on March 23, 2024 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. (Photo by Buda Mendes/Getty Images,) Jared added that while he’s performing for bigger crowds these days, his passion for the music has remained unchanged since the band formed in 1998. “The audiences have grown,” he said, noting that there’s “so much passion” in his band’s shows. Jared’s not the only celeb who will be skipping this year’s festivities. In fact, his former rival Taylor Swift is also sitting this one out. But we’re sure all the absent A-listers will be watching closely to see who will sport this year’s most audacious fit!

Will Harry Styles attend the Met Gala this year? Even with all of the big names on the early guest list for the 2024 Met Gala, plenty of potential attendees remain shrouded in mystery. One uncomfirmed yet highly anticipated celebrity and potential guest is singer, actor, and fashion icon Harry Styles. This year, there was an extra special reason to hope that he’d be a surprise attendee.

(Photo Credit: Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue) Harry Styles’ First Met Gala and His Big Return In 2019, Harry Styles attended his first Met Gala. At that time, Styles’ version of looking camp in the eye meant that he wore jewelry, nails, and an all-black Gucci ensemble complete with a tantalizingly sheer top. His outfit showed off more than just his tattoos. However, he has very conspicuously not been a regular attendee. After he skipped the 2023 event, diehard fans spent a full twelve months hoping that he’d make an appearance in 2024. Harry Styles performs on stage during The BRIT Awards 2023 at The O2 Arena on February 11, 2023. (Photo Credit: Gareth Cattermole/Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images) Harry Styles Fans Are Convinced He’ll be at the 2024 Met Gala One important thing that could bring Styles to the Met Gala in 2024, fans pointed out in the months leading up to the event, is Taylor Russell. Taylor Russell is a stunningly beautiful actress, most recognizable for her roles on Netflix’s Lost in Space and in the film, Bones and All. Notably, Russell’s role as Loewe ambassador at the Loewe Spring/Summer 2024 show caused Anna Wintour to actually smile at her. If Taylor Russell attends, is Harry Styles sure to follow? Simply put, Vogue‘s Editor-in-Chief publicly showing appreciation for someone’s fashion choices seems like a strong indicator that they’ll receive a Met Gala invitation. And if Taylor Russell attends, most assume that her rumored boyfriend Harry Styles and his fashion-forward gender neutral sense of style might walk the red carpet by her side. It’s not entirely clear when Styles and Russell first became an item. However, the public has been spotting them together since June of 2023. Taylor Russell attends the EE BAFTA Film Awards 2024 at The Royal Festival Hall on February 18, 2024. (Photo Credit: John Phillips/Getty Images) Reportedly, Taylor Russell received a Met Gala fitting Dubious yet impossible-to-ignore gossip blog Deuxmoi reported that Russell underwent her Met Gala fitting in London. So, rumors are solidly pointing towards her attendance. To be clear, that will be a delight no matter what (Russell is drop-dead gorgeous). And there are high hopes that Styles will also attend. If he shows up side-by-side with Russell, it will be a huge deal for fans and for fashion.

Apart from busy schedules, some fashion-minded celebrities avoid the beloved charity event because they don’t want to flop. The prompt for the 2024 Met Gala is “The Garden of Time.” Anyone who doesn’t have a solid and on-theme ensemble might be better off sitting this one out. While some celebrities will come dressed in stylish but ultimately boring dresses and, worse, plain tuxedos, most who understand the assignment will want to go all-out. It’s hard to imagine Styles showing up only to disappoint. Harry Styles’ Girlfriend Could Get Him Back To The Met Gala This Year was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Gisele’s new boyfriend has never made a red carpet appearance with her. Will that all change at the Met Gala? The supermodel hasn’t almost never missed dazzling on the first Monday in May. When she was married to Tom Brady, the pair used to dominated the best dressed lists together. But times have changed, and while Gisele is getting ready to return to the Met Gala, Tom is nursing his wounds after being brutally roasted the night before. Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen arrive for the 2019 Met Gala at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2019, in New York. (Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) Gisele Bundchen At the 2024 Met Gala: Will Her New Boyfriend Tag Along? On May 6, 2024, the famous and fabulous will walk the red carpet outside the Metropolitan Museum of Art for Anna Wintour’s favorite night of the year: the Met Gala. Gisele Bundchen rarely misses the event, and is among the names all but confirmed to attend. She’s expected to arrive in style, along other stars like Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lawrence, and Zendaya, who is co-chairing. While all eyes should be on what she’s wearing, most people will be waiting to see if she brings a very important accessory: arm candy. Namely, her new boyfriend, Joaquim Valente. Now, “dates” aren’t really a thing at the Met Gala. You’re either invited as a couple or you’re invited individually and then arrive together. Case in point: Taylor Swift and Travis Scott were individually invited to the Met Gala. (Sorry Swifties, they’re not going.) With that in mind, since Joaquim isn’t what you’d call “famous,” he’d have to be invited with Gisele in order to come. This has not been confirmed yet. For Gisele’s sake though, we hope he was invited. First of all, it would be the first time they walked the red carpet together. Secondly, they need to save some face.

Hi, Kim Kardashian! Everyone’s favorite topic seemed to be Tom losing Gisele to her new boyfriend and while their divorce caused Gisele many tears, Tom’s “friends” tried to make her new relationship a laughing stock. “[Tom has] so many rings he could melt them down and forge a sword to go on a quest to get Gisele back from that jiujitsu teacher,” joked Jeff Ross. “Your ex wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ass while eating hers,” added Randy Moss.

(Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images for The Met Museum/Vogue ) Who Is Joaquim Valente? “They started out as friends,” an insider told People of the new couple. They started dating last summer, in June 2023, shortly after her divorce was done. “He was a huge comfort for Gisele while she went through her divorce. Their friendship turned romantic after the divorce.” The Miami-based jiujitsu instructor and Gisele have kept things very low-key since getting together. Gisele’s reportedly enjoying being with someone she has so much in common with. “They come from similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil very young. They have both created amazing lives for themselves in the U.S. They both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living. Gisele’s in a great space. She is happy and very much enjoying life. Joaquim is perfect for her,” the insider added to People. Here’s hoping everyone has happiness! That’s really all that matters!

You may not believe this, but David Eason has some mean things to say about Jenelle Evans. The often-violent former reality star jumped on TikTok this past Saturday to both defend himself and also to tear into his estranged spouse, who finally filed to separate from Eason in March. Amid accusations from Evans that he’s a drunk and deadbeat dad, Eason addressed speculation over the weekend that he’s in financial trouble by pointing a harsh finger in the direction of his ex. Jenelle Eason and David Eason attend ELF SACK at InstaSleep Mint Melts Presents New York Fashion Week Nolcha Shows Spring/Summer 2020 on September 7, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Brian Ach/Getty Images for Nolcha) “I would be making a lot more money but Jenelle took my money from me!” he told followers. “If y’all want to know the truth! You’re all sitting out here talking about how I’m using her money. Well, how am I getting her money?” Jenelle, of course, has tried to answer this question in the past. According to a police report obtained by our friends at The Ashley’s Reality Roundup, Evans called local authorities in North Carolina on March 6 to report that Eason had stolen her drivers license, her wallet and her credit cards. This call was made just days after she filed for separation. David Eason, Marissa Eason, Ensley Eason and Jenelle Eason attend the Cosmopolitan NYFW fashion show during New York Fashion Week at Tribeca 360 on February 8, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) During this most recent TikTok exchange with all 12 or so of his fans, Eason said Jenelle “took all his clients” from him, presumably making a reference to his boat-cleaning business. “She deleted everything on my phone, remotely,” Eason said, accidentally praising his ex for apparently having some impressive technological skills and adding: “It cost me a lot of money.” Eason has only spoken out a few times on his split from Jenelle, previously telling people on social media that Evans cheated on him a lot. David Eason and Jenelle Evans arrive for the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards August 28, 2016 at Madison Square Garden in New York. (Photo credit should read ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images) “Why did we split? Because Jenelle cheated on me. She’s been cheating for years, actually,” Eason said about two months ago. In legal documents obtained by The Sun several days prior to this allegation by David, Evans cited February 16 as the official date of the break-up and stating she has the “intent that the separation be permanent.” She referred to “disturbing behavior” on the part of Eason, even bringing up David having killed the family dog in 2019. When a TikTok user also mentioned this homicide back in March? Eason responded by naming the dead animal and firing back as follows: “Where’s your f-cking Nugget? I will eat that motherf-cker! I’ll put hot sauce on his ass. I’ll make a jacket out of that motherf-cker.” Jenelle Evans and David Eason appear to have brought out the worst in each other. (Photo by Larry Busacca/Getty Images for MTV) Looking ahead, meanwhile, Eason doesn’t see himself walking down the aisle ever again. “I’m not gonna say I’ll never date again, but I’ll never get married again!” Eason said on May 4 via TikTok. “That’s for sure.” He added: “There’s no reason to get married to anybody, ever.” Sorry, ladies. Sounds like you won’t have a chance to lock down David Eason. David Eason: Jenelle Evans is a Thief!!!!!!!!!!!!! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Is it possible that Taylor Swift will replace Katy Perry on American Idol? At least one music legend is pushing for it to happen! Yes, as you’ve likely heard by now, Katy’s time on Idol is coming to an end. Katy Perry attends the “American Idol” Season 22 Top 10 Event at The Aster on April 22, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Monica Schipper/Getty Images) Katy is leaving the show behind after seven seasons on the judges panel, and there’s been a good deal of talk about who will replace her. Some folks think that Jelly Roll should take Katy’s place, and he would certainly be a popular choice. But one of Katy’s costars has a different idea about who should fill her shoes. Katy Perry attend 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) Could Taylor Swift Replace Katy Perry? According to the X (formerly Twitter) account Buzzing Pop, Lionel Richie has suggested that Taylor Switft would be an ideal candidate for the job. “By the way, Taylor, if you’re available, we’d like to have you out here. Call me!” Richie reportedly remarked. Richie seems to be aware that he’s swinging for the fences here. Taylor Swift attends the 66th GRAMMY Awards at Crypto.com Arena on February 04, 2024 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Neilson Barnard/Getty Images for The Recording Academy) But is there any chance that Taylor would actually consider taking the job? Well, we wouldn’t go getting your hopes up, Idol fans. Taylor is the biggest thing in music these days, and taking time away from her busy schedule of touring and recording for a TV gig seems very unlikely. Idol isn’t as big as it used to be, and even in the show’s heyday, the judges were never A-listers at the height of their fame. Taylor Swift performs onstage for the opening night of “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour” at State Farm Stadium on March 17, 2023 in Glendale, Arizona. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management) Don’t get us wrong — Katy Perry is still a very big deal in the music world. But she’s no Taylor Swift. Katy and Taylor used to be rivals, of course, but they’ve managed to put that all behind them. These days, Taylor is arguably the most famous person on the planet. So putting her current momentum aside in order to judge a TV talent competition probably isn’t in the cards. Taylor Swift attends ‘In Conversation With… Taylor Swift’ during the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival at TIFF Bell Lightbox on September 09, 2022 in Toronto, Ontario. (Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) What’s Next For Taylor? At the moment, Taylor is still busy with her global Eras Tour. And, of course, her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, is still making waves and sparking fan theories on social media. And then there’s Taylor’s relationship with Travis Kelce, which is still the most obsessed-over celebrity romance in recent memory. In other words, Taylor has a lot on her plate, and she’s probably not looking to switch gears anytime soon. And so, the hunt for Katy’s replacement will continue!

As you’ve no doubt heard by now, the Drake vs. Kendrick Lamar beef has turned into the messiest hip-hop feud in recent memory. The diss tracks have been dropping at such a furious rate that it’s hard even for diehard fans to keep up with all the allegations! And now, the situation has become even more complex, thanks to Drake’s claim that he set a trap for his rival — and Kendrick walked right into it.

(Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty Images) Kendrick Lamar Claims That Drake Has a Secret Daughter We won’t bother to rehash the entire feud. After all, this thing has more chapters than Lord of the Rings at this point. Instead, we’ll fast forward to Drake’s latest release, “The Heart Part 6,” in which the Toronto-based rapper once again makes things very personal by commenting on Kendrick’s family.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Of course, to be fair, Drizzy is responding to some shocking claims about his own personal life. On “Meet the Grahams,” Kendrick addressed an entire verse to Drake’s son, Adonis, who was hidden from the public until 2018 when Pusha T accused his rival of “hiding a child” in his song “The Story of Adidon.” In a separate verse on “Grahams,” Kendrick attempts a similar bombshell, claiming that Drake also has an 11-year-old daughter whom he’s been keeping under wraps.

(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images) Drake Fires Back Now, in his latest salvo, Drake claims that he used a fake mole to feed Kendrick false information about his non-existent daughter. (We told you this situation is complex!) He also claims that Kendrick dropped another diss track, “Not Like Us,” in order to distract from the mistake he made on “Grahams.” “The one before the last one, we finessed you into telling a story that doesn’t even exist,” Drake raps. “And then, you go and drop the West Coast one to try and cover that up.” Things get uglier from there, as Drake repeats his allegation that Kendrick’s creative partner Dave Free is also father to one of the rapper’s children. Kendrick Lamar performs during the 2023 Governors Ball Music Festival at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in New York City on June 11, 2023. (Photo by YUKI IWAMURA/AFP via Getty Images) “Why isn’t [Kendrick’s fiancee] Whitney [Alford] denying the allegations? Why is she following Dave Free and not Mr. Morale?” Drake raps. “But that’s not the lesson, clearly there’s a deeper message,” he says at a different point in the song. “Deep cuts that never healed, and now they got infected / Like if Dave really f–ked your girl and got her pregnant, talk about breedin’ resentment.” Drake attends the LA Premiere of HBO’s “Euphoria” at The Cinerama Dome on June 04, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Needless to say, this situation has escalated yet again. And it’s only a matter of time before Kendrick fires back with yet another seven-minute epic. It’s a fun time to be a hip hop fan — but we do hope that the feud doesn’t get out of hand and that everyone will keep this thing on wax.

Did Hailey Bieber copy Selena Gomez again? That’s what social media users are asking. Again and again, the public perception is that Hailey Bieber is deeply weird about Selena Gomez. Sometimes, it looks like shade. Other times, it looks like Hailey’s paying Selena the sincerest form of flattery — by copying everything from her tattoos to her makeup business. Hailey Bieber attends the 3rd Annual Academy Museum Gala at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles, December 3, 2022. (Photo Credit: MICHAEL TRAN/AFP via Getty Images) Selena Gomez launched Rare Beauty in 2020; Hailey Bieber launched Rhode in 2022 Ever since Hailey Bieber launched Rhode, fans and critics have been comparing the two beauty brands. There are many aspects of Hailey’s choices where she has seemed to follow in Selena Gomez’s footsteps. Most obviously, her husband dated Selena off and on for years. Hailey also has a tattoo that is eerily similar to one of Selena’s. A number of her choices on social media have seemed to mirror Selena’s. In a recent Reddit post, the social media site’s denizens noted that Hailey’s product line, promotional photos, and even Rhode offices bear a striking similarity to Selena’s. “Is Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Skin copying Selena Gomez’s Rare Beauty?” the original poster asked. Though some nuanced replies suggested that beauty companies tend to use similar marketing strategies, most of the replies were a chorus of affirmative answers. Many redditors believe that Hailey is a total copycat. Selena Gomez attends Rare Beautyâs 3rd Annual Mental Health Summit at on May 01, 2024. (Photo Credit: Cindy Ord/Getty Images for Rare Beauty) Is this just how the beauty industry works? As we said, there were many nuanced replies. Not everyone was on board with the idea that Hailey Bieber has a pathological drive to copy Selena Gomez in whatever she does. “Even if I think Rare made an amazing trendy and cozy puffy makeup bag, I think it’s something that other brands did,” commented one Reddit user. “But I agree with you on the fact that Rhode released the exact same not so long after.” Meanwhile, other comments accused Hailey Bieber of being unable to have an “original thought.” There were also some instances of name-calling among the comments. Even defenders who note that Hailey is likely just following beauty industry trends — trends that Rare got to first, or even started — note that it seems to be part of a pattern. The name-calling is probably unwarranted, as Hailey doesn’t seem to be hurting anyone. But it does give a lot of fans an uneasy feeling to see what looks like mirroring of Selena’s personal and professional choices. How should Selena Gomez respond? Repeatedly, Selena Gomez has made it clear that she does not want her fans attacking Hailey Bieber. Selena has stated this on social media. She has even graciously posed with Hailey to show the world that they don’t have a beef. Given the ongoing success of Rare Beauty, it doesn’t appear that Selena’s business is hurting. With that in mind, fans should keep their cool over Hailey copying Selena — whether it’s real or imagined. Because that’s clearly what Selena would prefer.

Kim Kardashian appears to have a decision to make, folks. On Sunday night, the reality star made headlines for all the wrong reasons. A featured speaker at the Tom Brady roast on Netflix, Kardashian both bombed and got booed… as she took major heat from those in attendance. It was legitimately embarrassing for Ray J’s ex-lover. 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 5, 2024 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images for Netflix) Now, just a day after this humiliating appearance, the most-hyped fashion-related event of the year will take place in New York City. We’re talking about the MET Gala, a gathering Kim has attended many times in the past; using it as an opportunity to walk the red carpet in an eye-popping outfit. Last year, Kardashian even brought daughter North to the MET Gala. Will she do so again in 2024? Will she even show her face, considering how she must be feeling in the wake of the Tom Brady roast? Kim Kardashian 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) To Kim’s credit, her actual roast material (which we’re guessing she did NOT write herself) was pretty funny. “I wasn’t going to come tonight, but since I’m not here as Tom’s date, there’s still a good chance I might,” Kardashian said, making her first reference to the rumors that she and the quarterback dated. Elsewhere, Kardashian made a very strange joke that things would “never work out” between her and Brady … randomly comparing Brady to her stepdad, Jenner, who transitioned in 2015. “But I do know it would never work out. An ex-athlete, high cheek bones, slinky hair — you remind me too much of my stepdad now.” she quipped. “Part of me thinks you would try to undress me, just to try on my clothes. I know the transition from the NFL must have been really hard, but I think my stepdad is a great example from you. “She’s one of the greatest athletes in the world who’s proved you can do anything in this next chapter. You can become a commentator, a far right Republican, or even a strong, confident woman.” Kim Kardashian attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted By Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/Getty Images for Vanity Fair) As for this year’s MET Gala? The theme will focus on The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition, titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.” According to a press release from the MMoA, this year’s theme is meant to “reactivate the sensory capacities of masterworks in the Museum’s collection through first-hand research, conservation analysis, and diverse technologies—from cutting-edge tools, artificial intelligence, and computer-generated imagery to traditional formats of x-rays, video animation, light projection, and soundscapes.” We have no idea what any of that means.

After a 4 year absence, Zendaya will definitely be at the 2024 Met Gala – but without Tom Holland. As Zendaya always makes a splash at the event dubbed “the Oscars of fashion,” it’s thrilling to know she’ll 100% be attending this year. But fans will likely be disappointed to see her at the event without their favorite accessory: her boyfriend. Zendaya at her first Met Gala on May 4, 2015 in New York City. ((Photo by Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images)) Zendaya To Co-Chair 2024 Met Gala With Jennifer Lopez On February 15m, the 2024 Met Gala theme and co-chairs were officially announced. The Costume Institute’s spring exhibition will be titled “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion,” and as always, will serve as theme for the opening night. However, the official dress code for the evening is described as “The Garden of Time”. Each year, a selection of celebrity co-chairs is appointed by Vogue’s Anna Wintour to serve alongside her. Bad Bunny, Chris Hemsworth, Jennifer Lopez, and Zendaya have all been named as hosts. And a host can not miss her own party! Zendaya at the 2019 Met Gala. ((Photo by John Lamparski/Getty Images)) This marks a delightful comeback for the Euphoria star, who has not been on the red carpet for the biggest NYC of the season since 2019. Pity she can’t just recycle the outfit from that year. Remember, she looked like Cinderella! Why Tom Holland Won’t Be At 2024 Met Gala With Zendaya Though Zendaya has attended the Met Gala five times over her career, she has never been to the event with her longtime boyfriend, Tom Holland. Actually, Tom Holland has never been to the Met Gala ever! So, seeing as his girlfriend is hosting, 2024 would seem like the perfect time for him to make his debut. Tom Holland arrives for the premiere of Apple TV+’s “The Crowded Room” at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City on June 1, 2023. ((Photo by ANGELA WEISS/AFP via Getty Images)) Except it’s very unlikely it will happen. Don’t worry, it’s not because they’ve broken up. You see, the Met Gala always takes place on the first Monday in May. In 2024, that means Monday May 6. Starting this spring, Tom Holland will star as Romeo in Jamie Lloyd’s new production of Romeo and Juliet at the Duke of York’s Theatre in London. Tickets for the production sold out within minutes, as fans are dying to see Tom act up close and in person. The production runs from May 11 to August 3, meaning his opening night is 5 days before the Met Gala. Tom Holland and Zendays pose at the after party for the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “Spider-Man: Far From Home”. ((Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images)) Now, is it physically possible for him to do both? Of course! A flight from London to NYC is 6-7 hours. Nothing like flying from Tokyo to Las Vegas. (Right Taylor Swift?!) But will his schedule allow? That’s the real question. It would be a real shame to miss a beautiful night, but our spidey senses are suggesting he won’t have the time to get away. Besides, he’s got a lot of eyes on him for this show – and not just fans! Tom Holland Slammed for Remaining Silent as Costar Endures Racial Abuse from Trolls Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, Tom’s costar in Jamie Lloyd’s West End production of Romeo & Juliet, faced a barrage of racial abuse following her casting announcement. Initially, Tom was put under intense scrutiny for not personally and publicly denouncing the hatred shown to his Juliet. To date, even in the week leading up to the show, he has yet to post anything in support of Francesca. But maybe that will be saved for opening night.

Tom Brady is one of the best looking people on the planet and is, almost indisputably, the best football player in the history of the universe. It therefore seemed confusing to many observers when it was announced by Netflix that it would air The Greatest Roast of All Time, a live comedy special dedicated toward various celebrities simply trashing the quarterback. What is there to even trash, right? Tom Brady attends Netflix Is A Joke Fest’s “The Greatest Roast Of All Time: Tom Brady” at the Kia Forum on May 5, 2024 in Inglewood, California. (Photo by Elyse Jankowski/FilmMagic) As this Tom Brady roast aired on Sunday night, the answer became obvious: Brady’s divorce from Gisele Bundchen. The athlete and the supermodel split in 2022, with Gisele stating at the time: With much gratitude for our time together, Tom and I have amicably finalized our divorce,” the iconic fashion and beauty mogul wrote. “My priority has always been and will continue to be our children whom I love with all my heart. “We will continue to [co-parent] to give then the love, care and attention they greatly deserve.” Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen attend The 2019 Met Gala Celebrating Camp: Notes on Fashion at Metropolitan Museum of Art on May 6, 2019 in New York City. (Photo by Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images) The former spouses appear to be on good terms… but Gisele also appears to be dating her karate instructor. And let’s just say this made for A LOT of material at the aforementioned roast. The presenters were merciless. Aside from Kim Kardashian getting booed on stage, the many (many!) jokes at Brady’s expenses over his break-up and over Gisele’s alleged new romance have dominated the headlines ever since this special wrapped up. In case you missed them, or in case you wish to relive them, we’ve collected the best Tom Brady divorce jokes from the roast below… Tom Brady and Gisele Bündchen attends the 2019 Hollywood For Science Gala at Private Residence on February 21, 2019 in Los Angeles, California. (Photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images) Kevin Hart referenced how Brady left the New England Patriots and head coach Bill Belichick and said: You sometimes got to f–k your coach. You know who else f–ked they coach? Gisele. She f–ked that karate man… One of the smartest quarterbacks to ever play the game, how did you not see this coming? Eight f–king karate classes a day? Eight karate classes a day… and she’s still a white belt. The only bruises she had were on her ass. Everyone should have known.

(Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images) Said Jeff Ross: Give it up for the lord of the Super Bowl rings, my friend, Tom Brady. A man who has so many rings he could melt them down and forge a sword to go on a quest and get Gisele back from that jiu-jitsu teacher. Joked Drew Bledsoe: Look, buddy, you have more rings than I do, but I’ve experienced a couple things that you will never experience. The feeling of being the No. 1 overall draft pick in the NFL… and a 28th wedding anniversary, it was yesterday. Nikki Glaser made the room gasp with: Tom, the only thing dumber than you saying yes to this roast was when you said, ‘Hey babe, you should try jiu-jitsu.’ That’s gotta suck. How much would it suck — oh my God, just knowing your ex-wife’s new boyfriend can beat your ass while eating hers.

(Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images for People.com) We’ll give the final hilarious and brutal word to Andrew Schulz: Tom, you became the GOAT by becoming the fiercest competitor on the planet. Tom was once asked which one of his rings was his favorite and he said, ‘The next one.’ Sorry, that’s a Gisele quote. My bad. That was Gisele, that was Gisele, for sure. You remind us that no matter how big you get, how successful you are, how much you accomplish in your life, you can always end up a twice-divorced supplement salesman in Tampa, Florida.

Kim Kardashian was booed by the adoring crowd at Tom Brady’s Roast. Now Kim and Taylor Swift have something in common: NFL fans who are mad at them! The crowd gathered Sunday evening at the Kia Forum were ready for shots to be taken at the expense of the famous QB. So why would they let all the comedians and special guests have all the fun!

During the first hour of The Roast of Tom Brady, there were endless jokes about his ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, as well as his ex Bridget Moynahan. But it was his recent fling, Kim Kardashian, who got the biggest reaction – since she was actually in the house! Kim took the podium at the roast, but rather than hearing applause, she heard the sound of booing. The chilly reception seemed to catch her off guard, but she continued to the stage none the less, only stopping to give her thanks to the host of the evening, Kevin Hart. Oh man I LOVE this crowd!

Rough start! Things got better when she directed her comedy towards herself. Remember all those rumors about these two dating? “Speaking of Tom and I dating, I know there were some rumors that we were, and I’d never say if we did or not. I’d just release the tape,” she joked. The moment won the crowd over, and things were smooth sailing from there. She made jokes comparing Brady to her step father, Caitlyn Jenner, and then gave a shout out to her famous father and recently deceased OJ Simpson. “I think enough of my family members helped defend former football players.” She ended her set with some encouraging words for Brady. “Retirement isn’t easy. It can be a lot like a bad breakup. So I’ll give you the same advice that I give all my exes: Good luck knowing the best is behind you. Congratulations, Tom,” she said.

The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 Might Be the Most Dramatic One Yet. This is what Bravo wrote as a caption to a preview for new episodes of this long-running franchise, which returns on Sunday night, May 5. It sounds familiar, we know. But it may also be true. The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 cast members pose here for the camera. (Bravo) On Season 14, Teresa Giudice, Melissa Gorga, Dolores Catania, Margaret Josephs, Jennifer Aydin, Danielle Cabral and Rachel Fuda will be featured as lead cast members… while Jackie Goldschneider and Jennifer Fessler will return as Friends. According to The Sun, filming kicked off way back in August 2023, not long after a three-part reunion aired in Bravo in June. This same outlet reports that Giudice will remain the focus of the series on Season 14, but that she also will stick to her vow to stay clear from sister-in-law Melissa Gorga. We actually won’t see very much of these women feuding. Melissa Gorga on The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14. (Bravo) So, what will we witness this spring and summer?!? “Margaret and Jackie got into a big argument over her book. Jackie gave out copies of her book to a few cast members, but Margaret did not get one and that made her question their friendship,” an insider tells The Sun. Josephs especially takes issue with her so-called friend because she introduced Jackie to the publicist who helped get her this book deal. “I think people are so used to Jersey being about family,” Gorga has said to The Sun. “It’s a huge twist this year – plot twist!” Dolores Catania sitting alone on the Real Housewives of New Jersey premiere. (Bravo) Margaret also teased to this publication that the “biggest fight” this season is between Jennifer Aydin and Danielle Cabral. A PHYSICAL fight, she emphasizes. “Jennifer pushed Danielle during the argument and Danielle retaliated by crumpling her plastic cup and hurling it towards Jennifer’s face, drawing blood,” a source previously alleged to Page Six. These cast members were even suspended for a few days as a result of this altercation. “I could say for me it was very surprising. But for the viewer and fan of Housewives, it’s not surprising. They already knew what kind of person I was dealing with,” Danielle says to The Sun. Danielle Cabral gets into a big fight with Jennifer Aydin on Season 14. (Bravo) As for Teresa’s controversial husband, Luis Ruelas? Rachel and John Fuda will continue to accuse him of hiring an investigator to look into their lives. These accusations have been brought to court — as of February 2024 — when attorney Kevin S. Johnson and his firm filed a lawsuit against Luis (among others), accusing him of violating the Federal Wiretap Act, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and the New Jersey Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act. Teresa Giudice looks very unhappy in this scene. (Bravo) Finally… welcome to Kayla Giovinazzo, Tiffany Chantell-Rosania, and Jessica Kiraly. These three fresh faces were brought on this season “as a test,” writes The Sun, to see if they might replace any veteran cast members down the line. Tiffany competed on The Amazing Race in 2015; Kayla is married to Jamie Giovinazzo, the CEO and Founder of Eat Clean Bro; and Jessica creates fashion and lifestyle content on social media. The Real Housewives of Season 14 will air on Bravo at 8/7c. The Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14: Everything You Need to Know! was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Earlier this week, Prince William stopped by James’ Place in Newscastle, a male suicide prevent center, and was asked at one point about his wife and kids. The question came in the wake of Kate Middleton having been diagnosed with cancer. “We’re all doing well, thank you,” the Prince of Wales replied. “We’re all doing well.” Now, however, we have a reason to think this may not be the case. Kate Middleton and Prince William, Prince of Wales attend The Royal Variety Performance 2023 at Royal Albert Hall on November 30, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Belinda Jiao/Getty Images) Speaking to The Telegraph a couple days ago, Amaia Arrieta — the designer behind many of the looks worn by the spouses’ kids through the years — said something that has gone extremely viral. “I’m heartbroken at the moment. I think they are going through hell,” the fashion maven said of Kate and William, adding: “I hope they will be back. It’s really personal.” This revealing quote has left many observers of the Royal Family quite concerned. Prince William and Kate Middleton attend a ceremonial welcome for The President and the First Lady of the Republic of Korea at Horse Guards Parade on November 21, 2023 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Amaia went on to say how honored she feels to have helped dress the royals… ever since Prince George, 10, wore her brand’s corduroy shorts in a 2014 Christmas photo. More recently, Princess Charlotte was pictured in the designer’s checked skirt on Mother’s Day — yes, we’re talking about the photo that sparked a certain editing controversy. “Dressing the royals gives me so much pride, I really do care about how they look,” the designer told the Telegraph. “They have put the traditional and classic way of dressing children on the map.” Prince William, Prince of Wales, known as the Duke of Rothesay and Catherine, Princess of Wales, known as the Duchess of Rothesay when in Scotland, visit DAY1, a Highland based charity in Inverness, which provides mentoring, training, personal development and employability services to vulnerable young people on November 2, 2023. (Photo by Paul Campbell – WPA Pool/Getty Images) That’s great and all, but focus is now entirely on how Middleton is feeling these days. In late March, Middleton appeared in a video to deliver a self-written speech that confirmed her unfortunate cancer news. Post-operative tests from her “planned abdominal surgery” in January revealed that “cancer had been present,” prompting her to start chemotherapy, she explained at the time. Kate Middleton during their visit to SportsAid at Bisham Abbey National Sports Centre to mark World Mental Health Day on October 12, 2023 in Marlow, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) Referring to the news a “huge shock,” Middleton said that she and her husband “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family. “As you can imagine, this has taken time. It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. “But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be okay.” We don’t know a lot about Kate Middleton’s cancer treatment because she and her loved ones have said very little about the star’s health over the last several weeks. Catherine, Princess of Wales attends the Christmas Morning Service at Sandringham Church on December 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Stephen Pond/Getty Images) But Kate’s diagnosis came weeks after her father-in-law, King Charles, announced on February 5 that he was also undergoing treatment for cancer. There’s a lot going on these days throughout the United Kingdom. “During The King’s recent hospital procedure for benign prostate enlargement, a separate issue of concern was noted. Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,” the palace said in a statement back then. “His Majesty has today commenced a schedule of regular treatments, during which time he has been advised by doctors to postpone public-facing duties. “Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake state business and official paperwork as usual.” Kate Middleton and Prince William are in “Hell,” Close Friend Claims was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip.

Britney Spears pregnant?! Would now really be the right time for that?! She is already a mother of two and has expressed interest in another baby. So, we guess it’s natural for fans to wonder. Sure, beloved pop icon Britney is no longer married, no longer churning out new albums, and no longer under an oppressive conservatorship. Yet so much of Britney’s life has gone wrong. It may be that she sees Baby #3 as her chance to be a mom again — this time, on her terms. Britney Spears attends the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 12, 2018. (Photo Credit: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) Britney Spears has Two Children On September 14, 2005, Britney Spears welcomed her firstborn child, Sean Preston Federline. Almost exactly one year later, on September 12 of 2006, Britney welcomed her second son, Jayden James Federline. Both of Britney’s boys share the same father — her ex, Kevin Federline. Britney Spears attends Sony Pictures’ “Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood” Los Angeles Premiere on July 22, 2019. (Photo Credit: Matt Winkelmeyer/Getty Images) Years earlier, Britney Spears became pregnant while with a different ex Britney dated Justin TImberlake from 1999 until 2002. The two were 17 and 18, respectively, when the relationship began. In Britney’s bestselling 2023 memoir, The Woman In Me, she wrote about becoming pregnant with Timberlake’s baby during their relationship. They were both too young to become pregnant. According to Britney, she had an abortion, citing that she “never would have done it” if “it had been left up to me alone.” Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears at the “NBA All-Star Game” at the First Union Center in Philadelphia, Pa. 2/10/02. (Photo Credit: Scott Gries/NBAE/ImageDirect) “Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy,” Britney wrote in her tell-all book. Meanwhile, Britney shared that she didn’t consider the news to be a “tragedy.” She had imagined that she and Timberlake would be a family and have kids one day. Clearly, he had other ambitions. “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life,” Britney reflected. The decision on whether or not to have a child should always be hers alone. Britney Spears attends the announcement of her new residency, “Britney: Domination” at Park MGM on October 18, 2018. (Photo Credit: Ethan Miller/Getty Images) During her conservatorship, Britney did not have all of her rights Britney Spears’ notorious conservatorship — thankfully now a thing of the past — denied her many of her basic human rights, particularly bodily autonomy. During the final years of that guardianship, Britney revealed that she had been forcibly sterilized against her will. There was an IUD in her uterus that prevented her from conceiving, and she could not simply have it removed. Her father had control over many aspects of her life. Britney was unable to make many of her own choices — like when to vacation or whether she could drink soda — for well over a decade. Being unable to have children starting in her mid-twenties and ending when she was about 40 has altered the trajectory of her life.

(Photo Credit: Gabe Ginsberg/Getty Images) Britney Spears Pregnant with Baby #3 In April of 2022, the world learned that Britney Spears and Sam Asghari were expecting a child together. This would be her third baby, and Sam’s first. This was joyful news at the time. However, the celebrations were short-lived. Britney and Sam shared the tragic miscarriage news a little over one month later. Ultimately, the two split late in the summer of 2023, and did not end up having kids together. In July of 2023, Britney Spears took to Instagram to describe feeling “pregnant.” (Image Credit: Instagram) Was Britney pregnant in July 2023? Britney shared on Instagram that she “woke up this morning and thought I was pregnant.” This was in July of 2023. However, she revealed, this was apparently the result of the extreme heat. And, perhaps, from indulging in delicious food while on vacation. Waking up with nausea is often a tell-tale sign of pregnancy. However, as anyone without a uterus can attest, not all sickness in the morning is “morning sickness.” Britney Spears attends the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 12, 2018. (Photo Credit: Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) Though weirdos who treat Britney like a meme instead of a person love to give her a hard time, Britney is a national treasure. She is immensely talented, famous, and successful. But life has dealt her a number of major, world-shaking setbacks. None of us know if or when Britney will next be pregnant. But millions of people wish her well. Britney Spears Pregnant: Is She Ready For Motherhood Without a Conservatorship? was originally published on The Hollywood Gossip. View the full article

Will Selena Gomez be attending the Met Gala with Benny Blanco? Selena Gomez has swapped one look for another over the years, but she she remains consistently gorgeous. That’s as true for her Met Gala appearances as anywhere else. Selena is a style inspiration. Fans always wonder what look Selena will wear if and when she attends.

Selena Gomez arrived in a jaw-dropping Diane von Furstenburg plum gown. Selena has never needed a date on her arm to accessorize. Even though she has, in fact, For Gomez’s very first Met Gala—in 2014, celebrating the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” exhibition—the star wore a plunging plum gown by Diane von Furstenburg. It’s a timeless silhouette that set the tone for almost every Met she’s attended since.

The most eye-catching part of her ensemble was a bold bouquet of white orchids in her hair. Some years, however, Selena sports a simpler hairstyle to allow the focus to fall upon her dress.

Instead, she wore a Louis Vuitton embellished white slip dress below a leather corseted harness. Simple jewelry accessories brought a flash of metal into the retro-futurist vibe.

Selena worse a white Coach slip dress featuring a plunging neckline. She often favors simple embroidery accents on her clothing, and 2017 is only one of many examples of that preference. Notably, in 2017, Selena attended the Met Gala with The Weeknd. It was their red carpet debut as a couple. Selena Gomez arrives for the 2018 Met Gala on May 7, 2018.

Her makeup, however, looked better in person than on camera. After 2018, Selena took years off from the Met Gala. We don’t think that it was an “oh no, my makeup wasn’t photogenic and I’m too ashamed to show up” hiatus. She has been busy, working on her physical and mental health. Fans want to see Selena return to the Met Gala in 2024 and beyond. But even if she’s on the Met Gala guest list, will she come alone? Benny Blanco attends the 65th GRAMMY Awards on February 05, 2023.

Ahead of the event itself, it remains unclear whether Selena Gomez will actually attend. Let alone whether she and Benny Blanco will make a Met Gala debut as a couple. Many Selenators do not really understand the romance. That’s fine. It’s Selena’s relationship, not theirs. If they do end up at the Met Gala side by side, it will be interesting to see their red carpet looks.

For years, Piers Morgan has been an outspoken critic of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. Now, in an unprecedented display of pettiness, Morgan has advocated for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to be stripped of their titles. In an interview with Megyn Kelly, Morgan urged King Charles to punish his youngest son for disloyalty to the royal family.

(Photo by Roy Rochlin/Getty Images) Piers Morgan to King Charles: It’s Time to Take a Stand Against Harry and Meghan! “They shouldn’t be using the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex bestowed on them by the monarchy,” Morgan said. “I hope that King Charles – who is massively distracted by his illness – will at some stage have that conversation and say, ‘You can’t keep the titles. I’m sorry,'” the TV personality continued (via Yahoo!). Interestingly, Morgan acknowledged one major reason why the King will not be following such ridiculous advice. TV personality Piers Morgan arrives at BBC Broadcasting House head of his appearance on Sunday Morning on April 24, 2022, in London, England. (Photo by Hollie Adams/Getty Images) As you’re probably aware, Charles has been diagnosed with cancer. Buckingham Palace announced last week that Charles will return to “public-facing” royal duties sometime in the near future. But royal officials have yet to offer any concrete information regarding the severity of Charles’ cancer or the organs affected.

(Photo by Jonathan Brady – WPA Pool/Getty Images) For obvious reasons, many have taken that silence as cause for concern. A Time of Crisis For the Royal Family The revelation that Kate Middleton is also battling cancer came soon after Charles’ diagnosis was made public. All of this is taking place less than two years after Queen Elizabeth II passed away, making Charles king.

And it’s likely that there are more rough waters ahead. All of this is to say that it’s a strange time for Piers Morgan to be sowing seeds of discord.

(Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images for 2022 Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights Ripple of Hope Gala) Morgan has advocated for Harry and Meghan to lose their titles several times in the past. But it’s rare for Piers to issue a direct appeal to the king on any matter. Meghan will be using her title while promoting her new lifestyle brand, a fact that has apparently outraged Morgan. Although the more likely explanation for Piers’ current fit is that he’s still mad at Meghan for rejecting his advances a decade ago!

In the summer of 2023, we heard a lot about Kim Kardashian’s crush on Tom Brady. That crush supposedly turned into the rich, hot, famous PILFs (with the P standing for “Parent”) dating for a bit. So, how come the super hot pair didn’t become a power couple?! Let’s take a look. Kim Kardashian attends the Kering Caring For Women Dinner at The Pool on September 12, 2023 in New York City. (Joy Malone/Getty Image) Kim Kardahian & Tom Brady Dating: It Started With Fireworks It all began at Michael Rubin’s epic Fourth of July party in the Hamptons. Rumors swirled like mad that Kim and Tom had been flirting at the affair. There were even pictures of them looking very cozy together. At the time, Kim had just broken up with Pete Davidson, and Tom was nursing his own broken heart. After years together, Tom and Gisele finally divorced in 2023, making the famed QB a free agent for the first time in years. Given that they were both single again, it seemed like a perfect time for them both to get back out there. Other party goers described the pair as being “super flirty with each other.” Still, there were other sources who claimed rather differently. “Kim and Tom have friends and business partners in common, but they are not dating,” the source told Entertainment Tonight at the time. So who to believe? Let’s fast forward a few months. Tom Brady attends the Los Angeles Premiere of Paramount Picturesâ â80 For Bradyâ presented by Smirnoff ICE at the Regency Village Theatre on January 31, 2023 in Los Angeles. (Getty) Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady Caught Flirting Again The next time Kim and Tom were spotted together again was in October. By then, it has also been reported that Tom was dating super model Irina Shayk, but that they had split in September. Finding themselves both single again, TMZ reported that Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady had a very fun, outrageously expensive time at the Reform Alliance Charity Auction in Atlantic City. At the Saturday night event, the famous businesswoman and the athlete were both locking horns while bidding on a George Condo painting. Kim got the ball rolling. She placed a bid on the painting for $500,000. That’s quite a sum, for normal humans. Tom Brady raises his first and celebrates the Patriots winning the AFC Championship Game over the Steelers in this photo. (Photo Credit: Maddie Meyer/Getty Images) When Tom placed a higher bid, the two found themselves engaging in a bidding war. And it sounds like it was a fairly flirtatious one. According to eyewitnesses, Kim and Tom were straight up giggling while exchanging looks during the bidding. One source (at least) went so far as to describe it as “super fun and flirty.” Eventually, this extremely expensive (but charitably, we assume, given the event) bidding war came to an end when Kim and Tom reached the $2 million milestone. At that point, the hosts of the event intervened. They promised Kim and Tom that they could both receive their very own George Condo painting. Not identical paintings, because that’s not how original paintings work. But the point of all this is that sparks were flying, according to other. And then again, Page Six reported that their interactions were “friendly,” rather than seeming explicitly flirty. Tom Brady no longer plays football. But he does play the field! (Photo Credit: Getty Images) Kim and Tom Just Friends – For Now So, did all this flirting actually materialize into something? If it did, it was short-lived over the summer and is long over now. By December 2023, Tom was back together with Irina Shayk and there’s been no word of him hooking up with a new girlfriend these days. As for Kim, she’s been enjoying a highly-publicized relationship with Odell Beckham Jr. They even went to the Super Bowl together to watch Travis Kelce play. However, the love affair seems to be on-and-off, so this may just be another fling for Kim. Maybe Kim should show up as one of the surprise guests for Tom Brady’s roast.

No one expected Taylor Swift to get with Matty Healy in 2023. But what’s even weirder is how much the fling seemed to matter to her. Many Swifties felt taken aback at how much of The Tortured Poets Department seemed to be all about Matty Healy. Taylor’s “dirtbag summer” with the notorious singer was an ill-advised rebound and didn’t last all that long. Most of her fans are eager to forget that it happened at all. But Taylor seemed to have a shocking amount of feelings about these memories. A new report says that it will take more time to heal after Healy “broke” her heart. Matthew Healy of The 1975 performs live on stage during day two of Lollapalooza Brazil at Autodromo de Interlagos on March 25, 2023. (Photo Credit: Mauricio Santana/Getty Images) Some of Taylor Swift’s most intense ‘TTPD’ lyrics were about Matty Healy Though The Tortured Poet’s Department took its title, indirectly, from her longtime romance with Joe Alwyn, Taylor Swift’s 11th studio album did not focus upon the privacy-minded British actor as much as fans had expected. She had a six-year relationship to process through music. And, one would assume, plenty to say about the end of that particular era. In contrast, just a short time after Taylor and Joe parted ways, she spent about a month or two linked to Matty Healy. Taylor Swift arrives for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 4, 2024. (Photo Credit: ROBYN BECK/AFP via Getty Images) An inside source opened up to Life & Style to explain why so many of Taylor’s lyrics seem to refer to what appeared, to the outside world, to be a forgettable (and regrettable) fling. “What looked at the time like a two-month rebound with a bad boy was so much more intense than anyone realized,” the insider grimy explained. “Forget Joe,” the source then characterized. “Matty is the man who really broke Taylor’s heart.” Weird!

(Photo Credit: Marcelo Hernandez/Getty Images) Taylor Swift did not seem to try to hide this, either Though Matty Healy is 35, he has a notorious obsession with typewriters. He loves music by the Blue Nile, the Starting Line, and by Charlie Puth. All of this shows up in Taylor’s lyrics. “But it gets a lot darker and tormented,” the insider then observed. “There are references to a lover’s many scandals,” the source pointed out. “Trying to score pills from her friends and even suggesting he would kill himself if she ever left.” Taylor Swift performs on stage during a concert as part of her Eras World Tour in Sydney on February 23, 2024. (Photo Credit: DAVID GRAY/AFP via Getty Images) Meanwhile, Taylor’s lyrics refer to having had a partner who told “revolting” jokes. Again, Matty Healy has a reputation for being a dirtbag. She went on to refer to dating a “wild boy” and dismiss the concerns of fans who expressed their disgust. That matches reports about Taylor’s feelings in May of 2023. Accoirding to the insider: “She finally opted for passion with Matty, but it quickly soured because of his lies about what he wanted for their future.” Was Taylor Swift actually in love with Matty Healy? (Why?) Sure enough, it sounds like she refers to Matty as the “love of my life” and then as “the loss of my life.” That is sad, and not in the way that she means it. It’s also disappointing. Obviously, dating a bad person doesn’t necessarily make someone a bad person themselves. (And it’s also important to stress the difference between a s–tty guy and someone who is, like, evil, because Healy is not the latter to anyone’s knowledge) There’s no accounting for taste. Taylor has moved on to date a guy with a very wholesome reputation. We wish anyone currently dating a disappointment to make their “dirtbag to himbo” upgrade. It’ll do you a lot of good.

Has Meghan Markle become a “total joke” in Hollywood? That’s the claim being made by a shocking new report from In Touch. Sources tell the outlet that Meghan’s stock has plummeted among her celebrity friends, due to her persistent efforts to build her personal brand. Meghan Markle chats with people inside the Drawing Room during a visit to Cardiff Castle on January 18, 2018 in Cardiff, Wales. (Photo by Ben Birchall – WPA Pool / Getty Images) Has Meghan Markle Taken on Too Much? “Meghan gets greedy,” an insider described as “a high-level palace courtier” tells In Touch. “She wants everything all at once, and it’s backfiring on her again. She’s become a total joke and is overplaying her hand.” The source notes that the duchess is currently attempting to roll out multiple projects at once. Meghan recently launched her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, which has already received endorsements from some of her A-list friends. Meghan Markle is seen ahead of her visit with Prince Harry to the iconic Titanic Belfast during their trip to Northern Ireland on March 23, 2018 in Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images) That project comes on the heels of Meghan and Prince Harry’s new Netflix deal. And that was announced around the same time as Meghan’s podcasting deal with an outlet called Lemonada. “That clearly didn’t go down well with Lemonada,” notes the palace insider. “They surely expected to be Meghan’s priority project, but she must have decided she had bigger fish to fry with Netflix.” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex attend the Unveiling of the Labalaba Statue Meghan, Duchess of Sussex looking straight to camera on October 25, 2018 in Nadi, Fiji. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images) The premiere of her Lemonada show has now been pushed back to 2025. And there’s a growing feeling that Meghan has overextended herself. “Meghan’s new ventures are destined to fail. She has no experience in building a brand. And someone must tell her she needs to be more likable to be marketable,” says the palace source. “If the public doesn’t like you, they won’t get behind you, and no amount of money you throw at the problem will make it go away,” the insider adds. Meghan Markle Has Become a ‘Joke,’ Insider Claims Prince Harry and actress Meghan Markle during an official photocall to announce their engagement at The Sunken Gardens at Kensington Palace on November 27, 2017 in London, England. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Chris Jackson/Getty Images) From there, the source accuses Meghan of being a “control freak” who harbors a desperate desire to be universally beloved. “Meghan is a control freak who’s finding out you can’t order someone to like you. She should have learned that lesson during her disastrous time at the palace. But she’s too blinded by her own ambition to see it,” says the insider. “No wonder people are laughing, on both sides of the Atlantic! We hear Harry’s laid down the law,” the source continues. “He’s mortified by the blowback over their sketchy projects and is insisting he won’t tolerate another show business disaster. If the new projects go belly-up again, they are going to have to find new ways to pay their bills, including crawling back to the royal family.” Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex arrive at the town hall during the Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023 – One Year To Go events, on September 06, 2022 in Dusseldorf, Germany. (Photo by Chris Jackson/Getty Images for Invictus Games Dusseldorf 2023) Is Meghan Making Enemies In LA? A Hollywood insider echoes these comments and alleges that Meghan wants to reap the rewards of a stellar Hollywood career without putting in the work. “Hollywood is glam and glitz on the outside, but the real stars have worked hard for their success — and you get the impression hard work isn’t really Meghan’s thing,” the source tells In Touch. “She was a nobody when she married Harry in 2018 but immediately thought she deserved a place at the A-listers’ table,” the insider adds.

And there many in LA, London, and all points between who view the duchess as anything but a “joke.” Still, there may be some legitimacy to the fears that Meghan has overextended herself. It’ll be interesting to see if she’s able to meet all of her professional obligations in the year to come.

Britney Spears has issued a statement in the wake of the latest confounding incident that involves the singer. But it hasn’t exactly clarified any issues. Early on Thursday morning, local authorities were called to the Chateau Marmont — a famous, posh hotel in Los Angeles — after Spears and boyfriend Paul Soliz allegedly got into some sort of argument. Britney Spears arrives for the premiere of Sony Pictures’ “Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood” at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, California on July 22, 2019. (Photo by VALERIE MACON / AFP) (Photo by VALERIE MACON/AFP via Getty Images) According to The Daily Mail, Britney was “clad in her underwear, clutching a pillow and appearing distressed” at the scene of whatever transpired. Spears also had abrasions on her knees… may have been topless … and looked disheveled as she held the pillow to her chest. TMZ, meanwhile, reports that a fellow hotel guest called the cops because a woman matching Britney’s description was harassing employees at the establishment. The police did not issue any arrests or citation — but then paramedics were later called to the hotel because Spears apparently got injured in her fracas with Soliz. She was not transported away, however. Britney Spears attends the 29th Annual GLAAD Media Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on April 12, 2018 in Beverly Hills. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) It’s all very confusing and worrisome, especially in the wake of other bizarre behavior on Britney’s part over the past few weeks. Hours after numerous outlets reported on this incident, Spears took to Instagram and tried to argue that everyone needs to chill out because she’s fine and nothing notable took place on Thursday. “Just to let people know … the news is fake !!! I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger everyday !!!” wrote the artist, continuing as follows: “Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie ???” It seems worth adding here that there have been allegations of late that Spears is going broke by spending so much money on private planes and expensive vacations. There’s increasing concern about her mental health. And we’re not really sure if this message helped to quiet those concerns at all, as Spears went on: “Goddesses out there, I’m reaching my higher power and furthermore, I hope you guys are too. I need a new toothbrush right about now.” Britney Spears waves as she attends the announcement of her new residency, “Britney: Domination” at Park MGM on October 18, 2018 in Las Vegas, Nevada. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images) Spears then added one post-script in which she wrote ‘I need an espresso” and then a second one that read: Not sure why I feel the need to share this… I guess I’m just a girl and I’m on my period so I’m bitch… I also twisted my ankle last night and paramedics showed up at my door illegally. They never came in my room but I felt completely harassed. Spears then concluded, without further explanation: I’m moving to Boston! Britney Spears arrives at the Los Angeles County Superior courthouse 14 January 2008 for a hearing regarding visitation rights for her two sons that she has with ex-husband Kevin Federline. (GABRIEL BOUYS/AFP via Getty Images) Spears was hospitalized way back in 2008 after a number of breakdowns. She only just terminated the conservatorship under which her finances were controlled by her father in November 2021, which means she is now free to make her own monetary and life decisions. We can only assume we’re speaking for all readers and people out there when we saw: Let’s hope Britney Spears is making responsible ones.

Jake Gyllenhaal will be hosting SNL with Taylor Swift bestie Sabrina Carpenter. That sounds so awkward. If there’s one thing about Taylor Swift fans, it’s that they will sometimes carry a grudge longer than Taylor herself will. One great example is the longstanding beef that Swifties have with Jake Gyllenhaal. He might not be Public Enemy #1, but many don’t view him as a “friend.” You know who is Taylor’s friend? Sabrina Carpenter, who’s been touring with Taylor all over the world. And very soon, she’s going to be appearing on SNL alongside Gyllenhaal. Whoops? Jake Gyllenhaal visits SiriusXM’s ‘The Howard Stern Show’ at SiriusXM Studios on March 20, 2024. (Photo Credit: Cindy Ord/Getty Images for SiriusXM) Sabrina Carpenter and Jake Gyllenhaal will headline ‘Saturday Night Live’ on May 18 On May 11, Maya Rudolph will return to Saturday Night Live as a host. The accompanying musical act (always a hit-or-miss category) will be Vampire Weekend. The following week, on May 18, Jake Gyllenhaal will host. Sabrina Carpenter will be the musical performance. As an actress, she seems likely to appear in one or more skits, as music guests from the past have. Sabrina Carpenter performs at the Coachella Stage during the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival at Empire Polo Club on April 19, 2024. (Photo Credit: Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for Coachella) This will be Jake Gyllenhaal’s third time hosting ‘SNL’ Previously, the actor hosted an episode in 2007. At that time, the musical guest was the Shins. In 2022, he hosted the sketch comedy show again. This time, the musical guest was Camila Cabello. Despite his decades of acting, Gyllenhaal has some exciting recent projects that make the hosting gig a sensible promotional choice. Jake Gyllenhaal attends the “Road House” New York Premiere at Jazz at Lincoln Center on March 19, 2024. (Photo Credit: Dia Dipasupil/Getty Images) Recently, Jake Gyllenhaal starred in Road House for Amazon Prime. It was actually a remake of a 1989 Patrick Swayze film by the same name. Additionally, Gyllenhaal appears in and executive produces Presumed Innocent on Apple TV+. That legal thriller premieres on June 12. Whether fans know him for Donnie Darko, Brokeback Mountain, or as an interesting take on Mysterio for Sony and the MCU’s Spider-Man: Far From Home, he’s one of the most recognizable actors across multiple age demographics. On top of his more famous roles, Jake Gyllenhaal’s guest spots on Saturday Night Live have also been memorable. This will be Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘SNL’ debut Sabrina Carpenter first rose to fame through acting roles like Girl Meets World. However, she is now better known as a musician. She recently dropped the single, Espresso. This was her first track on the Billboard Top 10. Sabrina’s personal relationships have also garnered attention. She’s dating Eternals and Saltburn star Barry Keoghan and is very good friends with Taylor Swift. It will of course be interesting to see whether Saturday Night Live capitalizes upon the inherent awkwardness of one of Taylor’s besties hanging out with one of her exes. Maybe they’ll be normal about it. But we can more or less guarantee that Taylor’s fans won’t. Even if, as we said, Gyllenhaal isn’t public enemy #1. That title belongs to someone else — maybe Joe Alwyn or Matty Healy, or maybe Kim Kardashian or Kanye West. Take your pick.
