| Kaia Gerber Was in ‘Celebratory Mood’ at 1st Event Since Jacob Elordi Split Posted: 19 Nov 2021 05:15 PM PST  Moving on. Kaia Gerber did not let her split from Jacob Elordi distract her from a night out with her mother, Cindy Crawford. Gerber, 20, and Crawford, 55, attended a celebration hosted by OMEGA in San Francisco on Thursday, November 18. Justin Hartley and Nick Jonas were also among the attendees. The mother-daughter duo went to a ribbon cutting ceremony for the brand's new San Francisco boutique earlier in the day.  Although the event took place just hours after news broke of the model's split from Elordi, 24, she put her best foot forward. "Kaia was in a celebratory mood as she was able to share this special moment with her mom and fellow OMEGA ambassador," an eyewitness exclusively tells Us Weekly. The California native also “mingled” with other guests, including Jonas, 29, and Antoni Porowski. A source confirmed to Us on Thursday that Gerber and Elordi broke up after dating for a year. Their "schedules conflicted [and] they weren't spending much time together," according to In Touch. They reportedly remain amicable despite parting ways. The duo first sparked dating rumors in September 2020 when they were spotted dining at Nobu in Malibu and holding hands in New York City. An insider told Us at the time that they were "newly seeing each other." Gerber and Elordi confirmed their relationship in October 2020 when they were seen kissing for the first time, and she made the romance Instagram official the following month by sharing a photo of their couple's Halloween costumes. Crawford and husband Rande Gerber approved of their daughter's boyfriend prior to the split. "Kaia's parents adore Jacob and think he's a great match for Kaia," a source revealed in April. "Her friends have also taken a liking to him and think he's such a heartthrob." Amid her loved ones' endorsements of the relationship, Kaia and the Euphoria star chose to take things slow. "They're not rushing into anything serious like an engagement," the insider said in April. "They're young and want to experience life together. They're lovers and also best friends. They're always together when they don't have work commitments." The California native opened up about Elordi in her June/July 2021 Vogue cover story after keeping their romance low-key for months. "Being able to be with someone I trust, where we don't want anything from each other, having a safe, steady relationship like that, has really opened my eyes to the possibilities of love and what it feels like to love without conditions," she raved. "Lust is touching other people or wanting them, but love is really seeing someone." |
| Will Jed Wyatt Read Ex-Fiancee Hannah Brown’s Book? He Says … Posted: 19 Nov 2021 04:57 PM PST  Turning over a new leaf? Jed Wyatt and Hannah Brown split in 2019 — but the former Bachelorette contestant may not be ready to relive it just yet. Wyatt, who proposed to Brown, 27, during the season 15 Bachelorette finale that aired in July 2019, weighed in on her upcoming memoir, God Bless This Mess, ahead of its release later this month. "Will you read Hannah B new book?" an Instagram user asked Wyatt, 27, during a Q&A on Thursday, November 18, to which he replied, "Will you read the room[?]" The musician answered a few more fan questions, including when he plans to have children, writing, "Definitely within the next 10 years." Wyatt and Brown raised eyebrows when they broke up while their Bachelorette season was still airing amid allegations that he had a girlfriend, Haley Stevens, at home while he was pursuing a relationship with the former Miss Alabama USA. The Tennessee native maintained that he was single when he left for the ABC series and claimed that Stevens knew he was going to be on the reality show when they connected pre-show. Stevens later shared alleged text messages from Wyatt in which he said, "I love you," shortly before he started dating Brown. While Brown has since moved on with model Adam Woolard, her past with Wyatt was brought back to the surface when the Dancing With the Stars winner's younger brother, Patrick Brown, started dating Stevens. Patrick was first linked to Wyatt's ex in February, with Stevens hinting at how serious they are two months later. "I sure love lovin' you @patrickbrown81 "About his love life — I don't choose who my brother loves and who he wants to be with," Hannah exclusively told Us Weekly earlier this month of her brother's choice in girlfriend. "But I love him and want him to be happy." Wyatt, for his part, has been dating Ellen Decker since November 2019, but that doesn't mean his failed engagement to Hannah is fully behind him. The Alabama native told Us in November that her breakup with Wyatt and the hardships she faced choosing between him, runner-up Tyler Cameron and third place contestant Peter Weber will be discussed in her book. (She also revealed that she and Weber, 30, slept together while his season of The Bachelor was airing in 2020.) "The whole issue with all that is I didn't trust myself enough to make a decision," Hannah told Us of the Bachelorette process. "What you see kind of as a pattern in the book, like, if you don't really trust yourself [and] know yourself, then it's really hard to make decisions about love and relationships, especially in an intense amount of time." Although Wyatt doesn't seem interested in what Hannah may have written about their relationship, Cameron, 28, exclusively told Us on Friday, November 19, that he's "sure" he will grab a copy to read. "I'm not nervous about whatever comes [out] in there," he said. "I wish her the best and I hope it sells well." God Bless This Mess: Learning to Live and Love Through Life's Best (and Worst) Moments hits bookshelves on Tuesday, November 23. |
| Why Cardi B Is 'Happy' She Stayed With Husband Offset After 'Challenges' Posted: 19 Nov 2021 03:05 PM PST Cardi B and Offset's relationship has been a whirlwind with a secret wedding, a cheating scandal and a baby girl. The "Bodak Yellow" rapper and the "Pure Water" singer tied the knot in September 2017 after having their first date at Super Bowl LI in Houston in February of that year. They announced that they were expecting in July 2017 and welcomed baby Kulture in July 2018. The twosome's relationship was rocked, however, when videos surfaced that appeared to show Offset in bed with other women in December 2017 and January 2018. Though Cardi stayed with her man at the time, she announced in December 2018 that the couple had split. "It's nobody fault. I guess we grew out of love but we are not together anymore," she said in an Instagram video at the time. "I don't know, it might take time to get a divorce and I'm going to always have a lot of love for him because he is my daughter's father." Two months later, she had a change of heart, however, reconciling with the Migos rapper. In September 2020, Us Weekly confirmed that the "WAP" singer filed for divorce from her husband after nearly three years of marriage. "Offset and Cardi both continue to put Kulture first through this troubling time," a source close to the estranged couple exclusively told Us following the filing. Scroll down to take a look back at Cardi and Offset's roller-coaster romance:  The couple had their first date at Super Bowl LI at NRG Stadium in Houston. “I told my publicist to tell him, because I was very shy, ‘Listen, if we gonna go on a public date together, you cannot make me look like a dumbass after this,’” Cardi recalled to GQ in April 2018. “And he was like, ‘No, I really like her. I’m really feeling her.’ We was talking, we was making out. We didn’t f--k. After the Super Bowl, it got really serious because I feel, like, all eyes on us.” Juan Ocampo/NBAE via Getty Images  Cardi and Offset stepped out together for a date night at a Met Gala afterparty at 1 Oak in New York City. Thaddaeus McAdams/Getty Images  The Migos member joined his then-girlfriend on the song “Lick” from her mixtape Gangsta Bitch Music, Vol. 2. In the accompanying music video, they rapped together in a casino before almost sharing a kiss at the end. WorldStarHipHop  Offset proposed to the “Bodak Yellow” rapper on stage at Power 99’s Powerhouse concert in Philadelphia. She later showed off her 8-carat engagement ring on Instagram. “Jesus Christ I’m so emotional, @offsetyrn I loveee you so much,” she captioned the photo. “Thank you for seeing the potential in me since you met me … I can’t wait to spend FOREVAAAA with you. Lets make a lot shmoney and love together.” Theo Wargo/Getty Images  Multiple videos that surfaced online appeared to show the “Bad and Boujee” MC in bed with other women. He refused to discuss the allegations in an interview with Rolling Stone, saying, “It’s my real life. It ain’t no gig. It ain’t no f–king game, you know what I’m saying?” A source later told Us Weekly exclusively that Cardi had “zero intention of leaving” Offset despite the scandal. Thaddaeus McAdams/Getty Images  Offset got a tattoo of Cardi’s name on his neck underneath his ink of Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls. Dia Dipasupil/WireImage  The “I Like It” rapper spoke out about her decision to stay with Offset after he allegedly cheated. “I know I look good, I know I’m rich, I know I’m talented. I know I could get any man I want — any basketball player, football player. But I want to work out my s--t with my man, and I don’t got to explain why,” she told Cosmopolitan. “I’m not your property. This is my life … I’m going to take my time, and I’m going to decide on my decision … It’s not right, what he f--king did — but people don’t know what I did, ’cause I ain’t no angel.” Cosmopolitan  After months of speculation, Cardi confirmed that she is pregnant with her first child with Offset, who is already the father of three children from previous relationships. She debuted her baby bump in a formfitting white dress during her performance of “Be Careful” on Saturday Night Live. She later revealed that she is expecting a girl. Will Heath/NBC  The pregnant Love & Hip Hop: New York alum showed off her bump in a beaded gown by Jeremy Scott for Moschino at the 2018 Met Gala in NYC. She later attended the Versace afterparty with Offset. Kevin Tachman/Getty Images  Cardi bared her baby bump while Offset kissed it on their joint Rolling Stone cover. In the accompanying interview, the “I Like It” rapper revealed that she doesn’t mind being the fourth woman to have a baby with the “Walk It Talk It” hitmaker: “People want to make fun of me, saying I’m the fourth baby mom, [but] I know I’m not having a baby with a s--tty ass man.” She also joked that she “might even drink some red wine” at her baby shower. Ruven Afanador for Rolling Stone  Hours after Offset called Cardi his “wife” on stage at the 2018 BET Awards, news broke that they secretly married in Atlanta on September 20, 2017. TMZ obtained a marriage license stating that Belcalis Marlenis Almanzar and Kiari Kendrell Cephus (the couple’s real names) “were united in marriage” by a minister one month before Offset’s public proposal. The bride later confirmed the news on Twitter: “One morning in September we woke up and decided to get married. ... I said I do, with no dress no make up and no ring! ... at least ya can stop saying i had a baby out of wedlock.” John Parra/Telemundo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images  The entertainer gave birth to a daughter named Kulture Kiari on July 10. She announced the news via Instagram the following day by sharing a photo of herself naked and rubbing her baby bump. Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images  “This is everything Cardi has ever wanted and she is already embracing motherhood fully,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly on July 13, two days after the pair announced Kulture’s arrival. “Her mother and family members have been walking her through the first few weeks and she is cuddled up with her little girl at home.” The source added that Cardi and Offset are both “over-the-moon excited” and the rapper “feels like the first time he had a kid all over again.” Kevin Mazur/WireImage  Cardi returned to the stage for the first time since giving birth to Kulture when she performed at the Global Citizen Festival in New York. “She is very private about Kulture,” a source told Us. “Only very close family and friends have met her.” Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for Global Citizen)  Offset bought his love a Lamborghini days before her 26th birthday. “Thanks daddy. I love you @offsetyrn ..LAMBTALK,LAMBTRUCK,” she captioned an Instagram photo of them posing in front of the new ride. Courtesy of Cardi B/Instagram  Offset opened up to Us exclusively on December 1 about his wife and daughter’s lavish lifestyle. “She’s flying private jets for baby girl to be with her,” he said. “She’s paying a lot of money, but it’s all love for Kulture. ... A lot of new moms don’t know what to do. She’s learning fast. We’re growing together and it’s the best thing.” Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic  Cardi revealed in an Instagram video on December 4 that she and Offset called it quits after more than a year of marriage. “Things just haven’t been working out between us for a long time,” she told fans, adding that the former couple are still “really good friends.” Paras Griffin/Getty Images for BET  Prior to opening up to fans about their decision to breakup, Cardi ditched her diamond engagement ring while on set for her new music video in Miami. The “I Like It” rapper was decked out in a silver rhinestone bikini, but the 8-carat piece of jewelry was noticeably missing. MEGA  Following news of their split, Offset’s alleged mistress, Summer Bunni, spoke out about the situation and issued an apology to Cardi. “I have not messed with Offset since he had his baby. I didn’t know how serious his marriage was, you know … I feel ashamed,” she claimed to TMZ on December 5. “To Cardi B and to her fans and to her family and to her situation: these were never my intentions and I never wanted to break up a happy home or be a cause of someone just saying, like, ’F—k it,’ to get a divorce or anything like that..” Theo Wargo/Getty Images for NYFW: The Shows; Courtesy of Summer Bunni/Instagram; Alexander Tamargo/Getty Images for E11EVEN  Back to the stage! Cardi had her first post-split performance on December 7 at Jingle Ball in NYC. According to one Twitter user, her set — which included her hit songs “Drip,” “Money Bag,” “Backin’ It Up,” “Money,” “Motorsport,” “Be Careful” and “Bodak Yellow” — “was perfection.” Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for iHeartMedia  Offset didn’t hold back his feelings about his situation, tweeting on December 9, 2018, “F–K YALL I MISS CARDI.” Tommaso Boddi/Getty Images for Ignite  Despite his longing, a source told Us Weekly exclusively in December 2018 that the Grammy winner was not considering a reconciliation at the time. “Cardi is strong and going to take care of her daughter [Kulture] and work. She’s going to live the life she built,” the source said. “She’s not considering getting back with Offset. They have been through a lot together and both love Kulture deeply.” Rich Fury/Getty Images for Fashion Nova  Offset humbled himself with a public apology to the fashionista on Instagram on December 14. “I only got one birthday wish, and that’s to get my wife back, Cardi,” he said in a video clip. “We going through a lot of things right now, a lot of things in the media. I wanna apologize to you, Cardi. You know, I embarrassed you. I made you look crazy. Doing things I ain’t have no business. I was partaking in activity that I shouldn’t have been taking in, and I apologize. Breaking your heart, breaking our promise, breaking God’s promise, and being a selfish, messed-up husband. … I’m trying to be a better person. I wanna get this off my shoulders, I wanna get this off my back. I apologize to you, Cardi. I love you.” Though the musician denied physically cheating on his wife, he admitted that the thought had crossed his mind. “I didn’t f—k that girl, but I was entertaining it. … I apologize and I love you. I hope you can forgive me. My birthday wish is just to have you back.” Jamie McCarthy/VMN18/Getty Images for MTV  On December 15, Offset made a grand gesture for his wife at her Rolling Loud Festival performance in L.A., unveiling a flower arrangement that read "Take Me Back Cardi" on stage for the whole audience to see. Gilbert Carrasquillo/GC Images  Two weeks after the pair had announced their split, they were spotted on a Jet Ski together in Puerto Rico on December 21, 2018. The following day, the “I Like It” crooner made light of their reunion, saying in an Instagram Live video, “I just had to get f—ked. That’s all.” Prince Williams/Wireimage  Offset showered his lady with plenty of bling and expensive clothing that included handbags from Chanel and four Hermès Birkins for Christmas, despite their separated status. Rob Kim/Getty Images  A source told Us that Cardi (real name Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar) and Offset (real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus) were still in “constant contact” in January 2019. “Cardi is focusing on Kulture and her work, but has such a deep love for him, there’s a very good chance they could be fully back together very soon,” the source said at the time. Francis Specker/CBS via Getty Images  On January 31, 2019, Cardi B told a fan that the duo were “working things out, baby.” Instagram  The couple held hands on stage at the 61st annual Grammy Awards on February 10 as Cardi accepted her win for Best Rap Album. “Husband, thank you,” she said to Offset. “Nah, seriously he was like, ‘You want to do this album, girl. You going to have this baby and we going to make this album.’” The musician, in turn, kissed her hand. Kevin Mazur/Getty Images for The Recording Academy  Offset opened up about their relationship to Esquire magazine in February 2019. “It’s been good,” he told the publication. “We’re being more open to each other, raising our baby and taking things slowly.” Earlier that month, Cardi B voiced a similar sentiment to Entertainment Tonight, telling the outlet, that she and her hubby were “taking it slow.” Steve Granitz/WireImage  The Harper’s Bazaar cover girl posted a series of Instagram videos on February 14, 2019, that showed her wearing the 8-carart engagement ring she received from her spouse. Kevin Mazur/WireImage  The Migos crooner doubled down on his public apology to his wife with a track titled “Don’t Lose Me” from his first solo album, Father of 4, which was released on February 22, 2019. “And I apologize, you know what I’m sayin’?” he said in the original Instagram clip. “Breaking your heart, breaking our promise, breaking God’s promise, and being a selfish and messed-up husband, you know what I’m sayin’? I’m trying to be a better person.” Amy Sussman/FilmMagic  The “Money” rapper shared her and Offset’s very first family pic with their little girl on Instagram on February 24, 2019, showing their daughter laying on her dad’s arm as she gazed up at her smiling mom. “PUNTA CANA. #@offsetryn KK 3 month old,” Cardi wrote of the sweet snap. John Parra/Telemundo/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images  “9/20/17 Happy marriage anniversary hubby,” Cardi wrote via Instagram in September 2019 in celebration of the couple’s second anniversary. “We keep learning and growing. That’s what marriage about.” The Georgia native paid tribute to his wife via Instagram as well, writing, “Today is our anniversary nobody believed it was real. We got married without nobody knowing because it was only between us and God! Now we have beautiful Kulture and a big family. I love you 4ever and after life.” Chelsea Lauren/Shutterstock  After Tekashi 6ix9ine’s girlfriend, Jade, claimed she got a private message from Offset in December 2019, Cardi fired back and defended her man. “We look crazy … don’t mind us y’all we both sick and just woke up … anyways we not going to entertain bullsh–t,” she captioned an Instagram video addressing the drama, claiming Offset’s Instagram account was hacked.

| Joe Giudice Fights to Go Home After Deportation: I Want to See My Kids Posted: 19 Nov 2021 02:52 PM PST  Long journey home. Joe Giudice has hired an attorney to help him in his deportation case — and he wants to be back stateside. The Real Housewives of New Jersey alum, 49, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, November 19, that he is looking to return to the United States after spending the last two years in his native Italy. In October 2018, he was ordered to be deported after serving three years in prison for fraud. "I would like to be able to see my children again in our home state, be a part of their lives, be physically present when they need me and watch them grow up," Giudice told Us of daughters Gia, 20, Gabriella, 17, Milania, 15, and Audriana, 12, whom he shared with ex-wife Teresa Giudice. "I yearn to hold my grandmother in my arms again before the time comes [in which] she is no longer on this Earth. [I want to] be with my mother [and] my family, to be in the place I have called home since I was a year old." With help from his manager Dominique Enchinton of Dominton Talent House, Joe said he hired immigration attorney Jessica M. Cadavid to assist him in his fight.  "I'm hopeful and pray that I can finally go home in the near future," he told Us on Friday. Cadavid, who has been working on the businessman’s case for two months, is also optimistic that he will get a chance to reunite with his family sooner rather than later. The lawyer from Cadavid & Associates told Us that she is filing a waiver of inadmissibility, which she described as a "kind of a forgiveness from the United States government." During the previous presidential administration, these kinds of discretionary waivers were not being approved, according to Cadavid. "[But] we are hopeful that this time around, we can take a look at his file with time that has passed from his deportation and the fact that he has a family here, he still has children here," she said on Friday. "He could ask the government for forgiveness and at least come back to be able to see his family." In 2014, Joe was sentenced to 41 months in prison after pleading guilty to mail, wire and bankruptcy fraud. His then-wife, 49, was ordered to serve 15 months at the time and was released early in December 2015. The former couple announced four years later that they had split after two decades of marriage. Their divorce was finalized in September 2020. One month later, Joe was granted permission to leave Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody, with two judges approving his request to travel to Italy while his deportation case was being decided. "[Joe wants to] begin working and contributing financially to his wife and four kids," James Leonard, Joe's then-lawyer, argued in documents obtained by Us at the time. The father of four was initially placed in ICE custody in March 2020 after completing his jail sentence. Six months later, his bond request was denied. In October 2020, the judge ruled that Joe would be unable to stay in New Jersey with his family. "I don't understand how I can be deported on this case. If you will, I'll tell you my side," Joe told the judge via teleconference following the decision. "I shouldn't even be here right now. I have to go back and tell my kids this, and they've been waiting to hear from me." When he touched down in Naples, Italy, later that month, Joe released a video statement in which he revealed what he had learned from his prison stay. "At the end of the day, people make mistakes," he said in October 2020. "Nobody's perfect. I've learned a valuable lesson from all this, and I know my family is the most important thing to me, but it's better that I'm out here than in there." On Friday, Cadavid told Us that she hopes the U.S. government will see that her client "has been involved in a lot of activities and a lot of different things that put him in a good light" and would be considered a priority case, claiming, "[Joe] made a mistake and he very well will tell you that, but that mistake isn’t for life." The attorney added, "Joe’s a part of a lot of homes. He’s been on the Real Housewives and so people have followed his story and have continued to be involved. That is what we are hoping to show [in our filing]." Cadavid said it could take "14 months at a minimum" before a judge will be able to see Joe's case. "We talk a lot about feelings because this process is hard and it’s sad," she told Us. "Someone is out there in purgatory kind of waiting [and asking], ‘Can I come see my family?’" Reporting by Diana Cooper |
| Drew Barrymore Doesn't Love Dating Apps: 'I'm Always Swiping Left' Posted: 19 Nov 2021 02:10 PM PST Swipe right! Ashton Kutcher, Ben Affleck, Adele and more stars have opened up about their experiences with online dating — but not every celeb has a swiping success story. In March 2014, the That ’70s Show alum was one of a handful of famous faces allegedly spotted on Tinder. One year later, Mila Kunis admitted that her now-husband pushed her to try Tinder and Grindr when they were together. “He was like, ‘So babe, you know, I got this thing that I’m thinking about. … You need to do me a favor and look at this app. Download [it].’ I was like, ‘No problem!'” the Black Swan star said during a 2015 interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live! “I’m on this thing going, ‘What is this?!’ Like, swiping things left and right.’ I’m like, ‘This is amazing!'” Kutcher, who was approached to invest in the online dating app, didn’t stop with just Tinder. “This is stuff that I do at home. He makes me go on all of these websites,” Kunis joked. “What’s the gay version of Tinder? Grindr! I’ve been on Grindr.” While Kutcher’s interest in the world of online dating was strictly for professional purposes, Affleck’s was personal. In October 2019, he confirmed that he was using Raya following his split from Lindsay Shookus six months prior. “HA, you got me. I’m dating,” he tweeted at the time, using the attention to raise awareness for a cause near to his heart. “But let's be serious for a moment and talk about something that is actually important. I have been in recovery for over a year and part of that is helping out others. The Midnight Mission is an incredible organization that helps those in need with housing, training, development and recovery.” He later proposed that the company match his donation to the organization. “Raya, you in?” he added. Less than two years later, the Gone Girl actor’s dating app use raised eyebrows once again after an alleged match’s TikTok went viral. “Thinking of the time I matched with Ben Affleck on Raya and thought it was fake so I unmatched him and he send me a video on Instagram,” actress Nivine Jay captioned a May 2021 post, sharing a clip of the message she received from Affleck. For her part, Adele owned up to trying out online dating in her 2015 book, The Biography. Sharon Stone, Lizzo and Hannah Brown have all tested the virtual waters as well — but the former Bachelorette didn’t have much luck. “I don't know if you know this, but I was the Bachelorette. And I can’t get on Raya,” the Alabama native joked in a February 2020 Instagram Story. “I've been on the waiting list for months now … I'm done. Christian Mingle, here I come. I might not be allowed on Christian Mingle at this point, but Jesus still loves me.” Scroll down to see the stars who have taken their love lives digital:  The Never Been Kissed star admitted that finding love online has its challenges. "I feel like I’m always swiping left because they are too young or I don’t know who they are.” she said during a November 2021 episode of The Drew Barrymore Show. Still, after swearing off the apps in 2018 following her split from husband Will Kopelman two years prior, she found herself wanting to log on again. “I dip in and out, every once in a while,” she said. “And then I freak out and jump off." Shutterstock  The Argo director owned up to being active on Raya after splitting from Shookus — and offered a challenge to the app for a good cause. "HA, you got me. I'm dating," he tweeted in October 2019, asking the company to chip in and donate to Midnight Mission, "an incredible organization that helps those in need with housing, training, development and recovery." His dating app presence made headlines once again in May 2021 when one of his matches posted a TikTok featuring a video message he allegedly sent. Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock  After splitting from girlfriend Molly Hurwitz in May 2020, the 17 Again star started "messaging girls and getting back into online dating again," using Raya as his app of choice, a source exclusively revealed at the time. Dave Allocca/Starpix/Shutterstock  The former Saturday Night Live star hasn't shied away from publicly sharing details of her dating life, and while hosting the MTV Movie & TV Awards in May 2021, she took aim at suitors who disappear. "You can't ghost a ghostbuster!" Jones told the audience. David Fisher/Shutterstock  The singer revealed that she tried her hand at online dating but didn’t find any success on the celebrity dating app Raya, calling it “boring.” "I've done Raya. I tried to match with John Mayer — it didn't work," Lizzo said during an appearance on Busy Tonight. “My dancer wanted to have a hoe phase, so I decided to join her, and I went on one of the, you know, lower-echelon dating apps. No shade, but you don't have to get confirmed … So I hopped on it and I had a hoe phase for like a week and it was really fun." Shutterstock  The Bachelorette alum opened up about online dating on her Instagram Story in February 2020. “You guys, I don’t know if you know this, but I was the Bachelorette and I can’t get on Raya!” Brown explained at the time. “I’ve been on the waiting list for months now … I’m done — Christian Mingle here I come.” Shutterstock  The retired soccer star joined the dating app Raya in January 2020 two months after announcing his split from Eva Amurri. Us Weekly broke the news that Martino was “dating again” and using online apps to connect with others. Shutterstock  Multiple sources told Us Weekly in December 2019 that the Magic Mike actor was on the dating app Raya following his split from singer Jessie J the previous month. According to one source, Tatum’s profile reads, “And yes, I used to be a stripper. Sorry.” Shutterstock  The Basic Instinct star tweeted in December 2019 that her Bumble account had been blocked after users reported her profile as fake. The dating app quickly restored her account. Shutterstock  The stunning actress reportedly admitted in July 2005 that she dabbled in a couple of online dating sites to see what all the fuss was about. Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com  "I've gone out with a couple girls in L.A. that I met on Tinder, like on real dates," he told Howard Stern in January 2014. "It's hard to meet people." Earl Gibson III/Getty Image  "I have checked the men I like between 35-48 [on Match.com] — I don't care if they have a big nose. I don't care if they're bald," she said to Access Hollywood in November 2011. "Just really sweet and who's a perfect reflection of who I am now. They have to have a job. I'd like them to at least be able to buy dinners and stuff like that. That is important." Jason Merritt/Getty Images  "I was reminded how central good relationships are to happiness and longevity," she said on Today in May 2013. "Also, I've always been a big believer that technology, if used well, can enhance one's life. So here I am, looking to enhance my dating life [on Match.com]." David Becker/Getty Images  "Just discovered tinder. *Waves goodbye to life*," the British singer tweeted in March 2014. David M. Benett/Getty Images  "I met [my fiance] on eHarmony — I didn't put up a picture, I didn't put anything about who I was," she said to Access Hollywood in October 2011. "I was like, 'You need to be sexy. I need to be attracted to you.' I really put exactly what I wanted. 'I love cats!'" Gary Gershoff/Getty Images  "I was feeling really silly and really sad one day, so I said, 'What the hell? Let's go on it,'" she said to NBC News in March 2006. "It was very difficult to put my self out there. But I figured at this age I'll forget." Walter McBride/Getty Images  The British singer reportedly admitted in the book The Biography that she has dabbled in online dating in the past. She didn't receive any e-mails from potential suitors, however, because she didn't post a picture of herself. Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic  "I met [my boyfriend] online and he's a keeper — I tried four sites, including my own site and Plenty of Fish, and Plenty of Fish won," she told Us in June 2012. "And I did everything in my book. I did dating detox…I knew what I wanted, he what he wanted." Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic  "I'm shy, and I'd always had a hard time meeting boys. I had a serious boyfriend in high school, but Hollywood, where it's all about being 'cool,' terrifies me!" she said in Glamour's June 2013 issue. "When I opened my Match account, I'd done a few guest spots but wasn't on True Blood yet, and I wanted to find someone grounded. Jeffrey Mayer/WireImage.com  It was reported in March 2014 that the Two and a Half Men actor — and Mila Kunis' beau — was one of several celebrities to join the matchmaking app Tinder. Chelsea Lauren/WireImage.com  It was reported in February 2013 that the pop star tried online dating following her split from fiance Jason Trawick. The couple called off their engagement in January 2013 after four years of dating. Jamie McCarthy/Getty Images  The Hollywood Reporter published in its March 2014 issue that the Mean Girls alum has taken advantage of Tinder. The dating site's CEO, Sean Rad, told THR their were plans to launch a verification program due to celebrities joining. Robin Marchant/Getty Images  Katy Perry's beau reportedly admitted in 2007 that he used Facebook as a way to meet women. He apparently used a different name and a friend's photo to keep his real identity hidden. Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic  "I was on a few of them, J-Date, Match.com. I didn't use my name," she admitted to The Huffington Post in April 2012. "My friends all believed that everyone must have known it was me. I believed that they didn’t. It felt safe to correspond with people with some kind of anonymity and then to build some kind of friendship and take it from there." Michael Tran/FilmMagic |

| Chris Daughtry's Wife Deanna Slams Rumors About Daughter Hannah's Death Posted: 19 Nov 2021 01:19 PM PST Speaking out. Chris Daughtry's wife, Deanna Daughtry, has opened up about the ongoing investigation into her daughter Hannah's sudden death. "The news floating around that we said our daughters death is being investigated as a homicide is false," the massage therapist, 47, wrote via Instagram on Friday, November 19, alongside a throwback photo of her late daughter. "We were not told that and never said that to anyone! The day Hannah was found I shared some concerns I had with some ppl I know and said we won't know anything for sure till after they complete the investigation. Someone took that and went running with it or they talked to some else who then made assumptions … None of us can go jumping to conclusions."  She continued: "Having questions & concerns is one thing but harassing someone and calling them a murderer before all the facts are in is wrong on every level regardless of their history. If you have information that you feel the police should know about this then tell them and let them do their job. I lost my child and I'm having to now also deal with rumors and assumptions about her." The songwriter further discussed their family's grieving process following the 25-year-old's death. "The people who loved her are in pain and we are mourning, they are not talking to the press, they are not spreading rumors and they sure as hell are not making this about themselves," she added in her social media upload. "So everyone please just stop! Let the investigating officers do their jobs and please remember snippets of someone's life does not define who they really are as a person. Hannah was on this earth with us for 25 years there is so much more to her story [than] what you are reading. I loved my daughter so much & I am experiencing the deepest emotional pain I have ever felt!" Deanna — who wed the American Idol alum in November 2000 before welcoming twins Adalynn and Noah, now 10 — previously confirmed her eldest daughter's death on Saturday, November 13. "My first born. I love you endlessly Hannah," she captioned an Instagram gallery of family photos at the time. "Our family would like to thank you all for the outpouring of love as we grieve the loss of my daughter Hannah. We are awaiting the autopsy results to determine how Hannah sustained the injuries that caused her death. Our hearts are broken." The 41-year-old "It's Not Over" crooner, for his part, postponed his Friday night show to fly home amid the news. He later revealed he was "still processing" their loss via a candid Instagram post on Sunday, November 14. "I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken," the Grammy nominee captioned his post. "I recently lost my mother to cancer but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately. We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it's another huge hit to our family. … I am now taking time [to] be present with my family as we attempt to heal from this devastating loss." Deanna — who welcomed daughter Hannah and son Griffin, 23, with a past partner — further opened up about their loss in the Friday Instagram message. "Please stop making it worse for those of us who love her by spreading rumors & saying disgusting things about our family," she added. "We are real people! Just because my husband has a public job does not mean this is OK to do. To the beautiful humans who are sending us their prayers, love, and kindness during this time, we thank you. We are not able to reach out to you all individually as I'm sure you understand but please know we are thankful for people like you." |
| New Baby Bliss! Scarlett Johansson, Colin Jost’s Relationship Timeline Posted: 19 Nov 2021 12:48 PM PST A happy ending for ScarJost! Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost's love story is one for the books. The Golden Globe nominee and the Saturday Night Live star were first spotted together in May 2017 at an afterparty celebrating the NBC variety show's season 42 finale. They continued to be hot and heavy through the summer, often spending weekends and holidays together on the East End of Long Island. That December, the couple made their first public appearance together at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in New York City. They also debuted their relationship on TV that month when they held hands while ice-skating at Rockefeller Center on a holiday-themed episode of SNL. Jost supported Johansson at the Los Angeles premiere of her movie Avengers: Infinity War in April 2018, marking their first official red carpet appearance as a pair. The next month, he called Johansson his "girlfriend" during a "Weekend Update" segment on SNL. The low-key couple continued to hit red carpets together through the end of 2018, attending the Met Gala in May and the Emmys in September. By February 2019, Us Weekly broke the news that the duo had moved in together. "Colin is still head over heels for Scarlett," a source told Us at the time. "He thinks she is incredible, kind, beautiful. He is beyond doting to her and loves showing her off when they're out. Scarlett loves Colin too, and they are in it for the long haul. … Colin gets a starry-eyed look in his eyes when he talks about her." Johansson and Jost revealed their engagement in May 2019 after two years of dating. By October 2020, it was announced that the twosome had quietly tied the knot amid the coronavirus pandemic while surrounded by immediate family and loved ones. This is Jost's first marriage. Meanwhile, Johansson was previously married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and Romain Dauriac from 2014 to 2017. She and the French journalist share daughter Rose.

Like, what?!” she told the magazine. “I said I was just going to ignore that.” Christopher Polk/Shutterstock  In her interview with Parade, Johansson revealed what attracted her to Jost. “What you see is what you get with him,” she told the magazine. “He’s very optimistic, easygoing, funny, nice, and those are the qualities that really drew me to him.” RCF / MEGA  The Oscar nominee opened up about how her relationship with Jost went from platonic to romantic. “It’s so funny to have a long-term shared experience with someone and then the relationship changes,” she told Parade. Shutterstock  The couple secretly tied the knot more than a year after announcing their engagement. The news of their nuptials was announced by the Meals on Wheels Instagram account. “We’re thrilled to break the news that Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were married over the weekend in an intimate ceremony with their immediate family and love ones, following COVID-19 safety precautions as directed by the CDC,” the statement read. “Their wedding wish is to help make a difference for vulnerable older adults during this difficult time by supporting @mealsonwheelsamerica.

You got slimed!" he responded, shortly before being informed that slime was used during Nickelodeon award shows. Jost did help clean up the accident by offering his wife a towel. MTV  During a stand-up set in Ridgefield, Connecticut, the Coming 2 America star revealed that his wife was expecting the couple's first child. “We’re having a baby," he said from the stage.

| Jen Shah’s Family: What to Know About Her Husband, Assistant Stuart Posted: 19 Nov 2021 12:16 PM PST Amid Jen Shah's ongoing legal woes, Bravo fans are looking at the Shah Squad. However, only one key part of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City's inner circle — Stuart Smith — has been named in the alleged telemarketing scheme. Us Weekly confirmed in March 2021 that Jen and Stuart were arrested while cameras were rolling on season 2 of the series. "Jennifer Shah, who portrays herself as a wealthy and successful businessperson on 'reality' television, and Stuart Smith, who is portrayed as Shah's 'first assistant,' allegedly generated and sold 'lead lists' of innocent individuals for other members of their scheme to repeatedly scam," Manhattan U.S. Attorney Audrey Strauss said in a press release on March 30. "In actual reality and as alleged, the so-called business opportunities pushed on the victims by Shah, Smith, and their co-conspirators were just fraudulent schemes, motivated by greed, to steal victims' money. Now, these defendants face time in prison for their alleged crimes." Several days later, Jen and Stuart both pleaded not guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud in connection with telemarketing and one count of conspiracy to commit money laundering. Court documents released in August 2021, however, signaled that Stuart may be changing his plea. "Mr. Smith is working diligently towards a resolution of his case. I am confident his case will be resolved without the necessity of a trial and I hereby request that we be excused from the August 10, 20201, hearing," Stuart's attorney wrote in a letter to the United States District Judge at the time. As Jen's October 2021 trial was delayed (seemingly due to COVID protocols) to March 2022, her arrest aired on a November 2021 episode of RHOSLC. She slammed her costars for how they spoke about her shortly after the episode made headlines. "Y'all see who these ladies really are. They have zero compassion for me and my family. It takes an evil person to take delight in what we're going through," she wrote on November 15, 2021, via Instagram Stories. "I am [100 percent] innocent and I hope the ladies each learn a valuable lesson from this and stop judging others." Jen added that the scandal is "heartbreaking" for her family, which includes husband Sharrieff Shah and their two sons — Sharrieff Jr. and Omar. "Everyone is using this as their story lines and jokes and my family is the recipient of this heartless behavior," she wrote via Instagram Stories. "I look forward to my fay in court so everyone will see this. I hope this will serve as a lesson to everyone that judged and ridiculed me and my family without having any facts, evidence or poor. This is exactly what's wrong in America … You are not innocent until proven guilty." Scroll through for more on Jen's relationship with her husband, sons and Stuart:  Jen has been married to the University of Utah cornerbacks coach for more than 25 years. In between seasons 1 and 2 of RHOSLC, the duo “almost got a divorce,” she revealed during the September 2021 premiere. “I thought my life was, like, over. Sharrieff felt like he wasn't being a positive influence in my life. Like, he couldn't help me. What I didn't realize was how I was acting and because I hadn't fully told him how I was feeling, it made him feel like he was the problem,” she explained of their pre-arrest marital woes. "So he was like, ‘OK, I have to leave.' And at first, I thought, OK, this is just an argument. And then the next day, a divorce attorney contacted me. He had already reached out to a divorce attorney.” The pair sought therapy and decided to stay together. Courtesy Jen Shah/Instagram  Jen claimed to Entertainment Tonight in September 2021 that the legal scandal has brought her and her spouse “closer than ever.” “When you go through something this traumatic, this deep, people are either going to leave you or they’re going to stay by you,” she said. “Coach Shah and I have had our ups and downs through our marriage and when I thought he cared more about this than me, whatever, now what we’ve gone through there’s no question in my mind Coach Shah loves me more than anybody or anything in the world. And he’s just been so, so supportive of me." Courtesy Jen Shah/Instagram  The couple’s sons were spotted in homeland security footage looking for Jen during a November 2021 episode of RHOSLC. Their eldest child is pursuing a career in medicine while their younger son is still in high school. Courtesy Jen Shah/Instagram  During season 1 of RHOSLC, Jen claimed that Stuart, dubbed her “first assistant,” knew more about her than Sharrieff. “He just does everything. He knows my favorite color, my favorite food,” she said. “He’ll go get me tampons, he knows when my period is every month. Stuart knows everything.” During a pre-arrest season 2 episode, Jen thanked Stuart for his loyalty — a comment that is now raising eyebrows for fans. “I hope you realize, too, like, the sacrifices I made — they’re to take care of you and your family,” she said during the November 2021 episode. “And I’ve sacrificed that for work. To set up all these businesses and companies. I did it so that we could take care of employees. … And if I wouldn’t have sacrificed that, a lot of families wouldn’t be eating right now.” He replied, “I’ve seen that. And I know that you’ll always be there and I’ll always be here for you.” Bravo |
| Settling In! How Meghan, Harry Will Spend 2nd Thanksgiving in California Posted: 19 Nov 2021 12:08 PM PST ‘Tis the season! Meghan Markle is in the full swing of making preparations for her second Thanksgiving in California with Prince Harry. “I love to cook,” the Suits alum, 40, said during her Thursday, November 18, interview on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “We’ll be home and just sort of relax and settle in. It’s our second Thanksgiving at home in California. It’ll be nice, it’ll be really nice.” Ellen DeGeneres, who lives near Meghan and her 37-year-old husband, joked that the host and Portia de Rossi‘s holiday invitations may have gotten lost in the mail. “What time should we show up?” she teased, to which the duchess replied, “Whatever time you want.” The Sussexes moved to California in the summer of 2020 after briefly settling in Canada in the wake of their royal exit. They tried putting down roots in Los Angeles, but eventually decided on the quieter Montecito neighborhood in Santa Barbara. “Meghan visited Montecito in her teens and fell in love with the picturesque scenery and stunning architecture,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in August 2020. “Moving there was always an option, but to begin with, she and Harry wanted to give Los Angeles a shot. Unfortunately, Harry absolutely hated it — the timing was so wrong amid the [coronavirus] pandemic and they lacked privacy.” The couple, who share son Archie, 2, and daughter Lilibet, 5 months, made their step down from their senior royal roles permanent in February. One month prior, an insider revealed that the pair have been “thriving” since moving to the U.S. “Harry doesn’t have any regrets about leaving the royal family whatsoever and is really happy in Montecito,” the source added in January. “He and Meghan are enjoying their new life in California — being a normal family and having the freedom to make their own decisions without anyone watching over them.” At the time, a second insider noted that the past year was a “game-changer” for Meghan and Harry, but the highs and lows “brought them closer together and made them a stronger couple.” The Bench author reiterated her love for her home state on Thursday, telling DeGeneres, 63, that the family of four are adjusting well. “We moved here during [COVID-19] lockdown, exactly when things shut down, so we’ve just been able to spend a lot of time at home and creating our home,” Meghan said. “But I think it’s just the lifestyle and the weather is pretty great. … We’re just happy.” |
| Ali Fedotowsky Dresses as Santa, Shows Off 2021 Holiday Decorations Posted: 19 Nov 2021 12:00 PM PST Making spirits bright! Candace Cameron Bure, Joanna Gaines, Bindi Irwin and more celebrities aren't waiting until December to get into the holiday mood — they started decorating as soon as Halloween ended. "It's the most wonderful time of the year!!! It's happening, people!!!" the Full House alum, 45, wrote via Instagram on November 10, sharing a video of herself putting up her fake tree at home. "The tree is up Gaines, for her part, decorated a special tree with 3-year-old son Crew in early November to mark the start of the season. She also shared a few highlights of Christmas past via her Magnolia blog to get fans just as excited for holiday festivities. "Our family's tradition of gifting ornaments each year began with [my husband] Chip [Gaines]'s mom, Gayle. The first year that Chip and I were married, I wanted to decorate our Christmas tree based on a specific color story — and decided it would be an all-blue theme," Joanna, 43, wrote in a recent blog. "That same year on Thanksgiving, Gayle gifted us a bright red Radko ornament. Truthfully, I hesitated putting it on the tree because I knew it would throw off my color theme. It makes me laugh now, but at the time I thought, 'Where am I going to put this?'" The Magnolia Network cofounder noted that she ultimately decided to put her mother-in-law's gift on the tree, which led to their family's tradition of giving each other ornaments as pre-Christmas gifts. "What I learned to love was this: Though that ornament stuck out in stark contrast to my blue tree, that bright red ornament told a story," she added. "Not only was it a heartfelt gift from Chip's mom, but the ornament signified our first Christmas together, and that made it worthy of the spotlight." This year, Joanna opted to add a few specialty ornaments to her Magnolia collection that help tell the stories of her own family — including a Sriracha sauce bottle for 15-year-old daughter Ella, who "puts it on everything," according to her mom. Along with Ella and Crew, Joanna shares children Drake, 16, Duke, 13 and Emmie, 11, with Chip, 46. Scroll down to see which celebrities have already decorated for the holidays:  The Fixer Upper: Welcome Home star celebrated the beginning of the holidays by decorating a small tree with her youngest child, Crew, on November 5. “It was 54 degrees today so...🎄#CrewsTree,” she captioned the Instagram photos.

| Tyler Cameron Reacts to Hannah Brown’s Book, Peter Weber Revelation Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:42 AM PST Tyler Cameron is ready for whatever Hannah Brown's book has in store for Bachelor Nation. "I'm sure I’ll go grab a copy," Cameron, 28, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, November 19, while promoting his partnership with Heineken. "I'm not nervous about whatever comes [out] in there. I wish her the best and I hope it sells well." The 27-year-old former Miss Alabama's upcoming memoir, God Bless This Mess, has already made headlines after an excerpt revealed she slept with Peter Weber while his season of The Bachelor was airing in February 2020. Cameron, her runner-up, told Us that he knew about her hookup with her third-place contestant. "Yeah, you know, we've talked," the Florida native replied, confirming Brown's recent confession to Us that their last conversation went down more than six months ago. Following season 15 of The Bachelorette in 2019, Brown and Cameron nearly rekindled their relationship after her engagement to winner Jed Wyatt ended. Days after spending the night together in Los Angeles in August 2019, he was spotted with Gigi Hadid in New York City. Brown opens up about the heartbreak in her book — and Cameron addressed how he handled the situation in his own title, You Deserve Better, which was released in July. "I slept at Hannah's house, but we didn't sleep together. We weren't in a relationship at that point, and we definitely weren't boyfriend and girlfriend. Two days later, I was seen in New York City, out on a date with a different girl," he wrote. "Now I know, this was a major mistake on my end. Not because I shouldn't have been dating, because I was very clear with Hannah all along that after the way the show ended, I needed some time and space to figure things out. … If I could go back and do it all again, I would handle it differently. My communication should have been better." Cameron is now single after splitting from model Camila Kendra over the summer. "Am I putting myself out there? Yes. Am I dating anybody? No," he told Us on Friday, noting he's not on any dating apps at the moment. When asked about reports that he's been in consideration to be the next Bachelor, he admitted it's not off the table. "We've talked about it here and there," Cameron told Us. "But it’s not on my list of things to do right now. There’s things I want to accomplish and do. And that's a great thing to be a part of and a great honor, but I’m not ready for that position or that role yet. … In the future, maybe, I’ll never say never to anything." For now, he's eager to meet fans at the Heineken Terrace Bar before the New York Islanders game at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on Saturday, November 20. "I'm a big fan of the brand, you know, I've been drinking [Heineken] beer for a while," Cameron told Us. "What a great way to be a part of it, pouring out the first beers at the grand opening of the UBS Arena. I'm very excited and stoked to be a part of this. I'll be at the Heineken Terrace Bar at 5 pm. I'll be handing out beer. So come out, have a drink, we'll have a good time and hanging out, I'll take pictures, whatever you guys want to do." |
| Mayim Bialik Gets 'Upset' About Claims She's Anti-Vax: 'That Hurts' Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:39 AM PST  Clarifying her thoughts. Mayim Bialik has previously expressed controversial views on vaccines, but she doesn’t think the term “anti-vaxxer” should apply. The Big Bang Theory alum, 45, addressed a recent New York Times piece about her during the Thursday, November 18, episode of Jalen Rose‘s “Renaissance Man” podcast. “I found [it] really kind of, like, neutral,” the Jeopardy! guest host said of the profile. “I can’t tell you the number of people who were like, ‘She’s an anti-vaxxer.'” The original story, published in October, referred to her 2012 book, Beyond the Sling, in which she wrote that she and her then-husband, Michael Stone, had decided not to vaccinate their sons Miles, 16, and Frederick, 13. In an October 2020 YouTube video that was also detailed by the Times, the actress claimed that she and her sons would be getting COVID-19 and flu shots. “It’s like, ‘Did you not read the article?’ That upsets me just as a human,” the former Blossom star said on Thursday. “When people say things about you that aren’t true, that hurts. And that hurts, whether it’s between you and your girlfriend or you and your lover or, you know, on the New York Times comments section.” The California native repeated again that her children had been vaccinated — just not necessarily at the same time as other kids. “I really just wanted to be like, ‘I’m not an anti-vaxxer.’ Like, my kids were vaccinated late,” she told the former NBA player, 48. “That’s true. And we were vaccinated.” In her YouTube video last fall, Bialik said that she thinks “we give way too many vaccines,” but she noted that her sons did have some shots. “The truth is I delayed vaccinations for reasons that you don't necessarily get to know about simply because you follow me on social media," she explained in the recording. “My children may not have had every one of the vaccinations that your children have, but my children are vaccinated." The Girling Up author’s vaccine views resurfaced this summer when she was named one of two new Jeopardy! hosts following Alex Trebek‘s death in November 2020. The other host, executive producer Mike Richards, stepped down after facing criticism over offensive comments he’d made before landing the job. Bialik is now sharing hosting duties with Ken Jennings through the end of the year. In the future, she will continue to host primetime specials and spinoffs, but a permanent host for the syndicated version of Jeopardy! has not yet been announced. |
| Bachelor Nation Reacts to Katie Thurston’s Taylor Swift Song Comparisons Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:34 AM PST Let the messiness continue! Katie Thurston's "12 Days of Messy" challenge has raised eyebrows among her Instagram followers — but her exes don't seem to mind. The 30-year-old season 17 Bachelorette began assigning her former flames Taylor Swift songs that she thought described their relationships after Red (Taylor's Version) dropped on Friday, November 12. Every day since the album's debut, Thurston has featured a different ex on her Instagram Story. "Thanks friend [red heart emoji]," Michael Allio, who sent himself home during week seven of the season, shared via his Instagram Story on Thursday, November 18, in response to his selected song. "You're an amazing human and I’m certain you'll find what you've been looking for." Hours earlier, the Washington native dedicated "I Almost Do" to Allio, 36, perhaps hinting that she was open to a potential reconciliation with the Ohio native, considering the song's lyrics about reconnecting with a past partner. However, many eagle-eyed fans believed that the single dad's social media message seemingly alludes that Allio wants to remain friends with the season 25 Bachelor alum, with one fan even calling his response "awkward" in a DM with the entrepreneur. Allio's response — which was later shared in a Bachelor Nation fan account’s Instagram Story — rebukes that claim, explaining, "Two adults can respectfully agree to have respect for one another and also recognize that their lives do not work." The business owner was not the only one of Thurston's former suitors who's responded to her social media series. Brendan Quinn, who was compared to "The Lucky One," was happy with his answer. "I got a good one," the 26-year-old replied during an Instagram Story Q&A on Wednesday, November 17. When Swift, 31, released Red (Taylor's Version) earlier this month, Thurston floated the idea of matching Swift's rerecorded hits to her former ABC contestants in a poll for her followers. "Maybe it’s just a title, maybe there’s more to it, maybe it’s absolutely nothing," Thurston explained via Instagram Story at the time. "I mean, think about it. 12 songs, 12 guys is a lot. But I’m very excited. I’m enjoying it. No hate intended. Some of Taylor’s songs are messy. Some of them are nothing but love and respect." Thurston kicked off her challenge on Friday with a post dedicated to her ex-fiancé, Blake Moynes. "Day 1. Blake Moynes," she wrote in an Instagram Story, with Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" playing in the background. The former bank marketing manager went on to dedicate the Valentine's Day actress' songs to Andrew Spencer, Aaron Clancy, James Bonsall, Thomas Jacobs, Mike Planeta, Allio and Quinn, revealing that she gave some of her guys a heads-up about their song choices. "Yes a few," Thurston replied in a DM, which she later uploaded via Instagram Story on Monday, November 15. In her post, she shared a copy of a text message she sent to one of the guys, writing, "Wanna know it early? I already had to apologize to Andrew in advance for all the DMs today's song will cause him." Scroll below to see how Bachelor Nation reacted to Thurston’s "12 Days of Messy:"  “I got yo back! Stay classy San Diego,” Allio concluded his Instagram Story post, noting Thurston’s new California residence. ABC/Craig Sjodin  The Bourdon founder seemingly wasn’t a fan of Thurston’s shade toward her current boyfriend and appeared to unfollow her fellow Bachelorette shortly after Jacobs was matched with “I Knew You Were Trouble (Taylor’s Version).” Shutterstock(2); ABC  “I feel very lucky, I got a good one,” the Canada native wrote about his song choice via Instagram Story on Wednesday.

| How the Kardashians Really Feel About Kim Dating Pete Davidson Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:22 AM PST Supportive! Kim Kardashian is still exploring her relationship with Pete Davidson, but he has already won over her famous family. "The family is happy for Kim, and they really have taken a liking to Pete," a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. "A lot of the Kardashians met him in the past and have hung out with him, so he’s not like this new stranger that just entered into their lives. They think he’s funny and is fun to be around. He’s someone that just lightens the mood in the room." The Kardashian-Jenner clan — which includes Kim's mom, Kris Jenner, and her siblings, Kourtney Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Rob Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner — is tight-knit, so of course they have opinions on the romance. "After the family has gotten to spend time with the both of them and hearing Kim being smitten by him, they really think it could be something serious and something that could be long-term," the insider notes. When it comes to Kim, 41, and Davidson, 28, maintaining their relationship while she lives in California and he resides in New York, the family is on board with them taking it day by day. "They’ll be bicoastal for the most part since Pete is on Saturday Night Live," the source reveals. "They’re still making it work, even if it’s by FaceTiming or texting throughout the day, and the Kardashians are all for it. They just want to see her happy!" The reality star was first linked to Davidson in October when the duo were spotted hanging out with Kourtney, 42, and fiancé Travis Barker at Knott's Berry Farm in California. An insider told Us at the time that the twosome were "just friends," although "things could turn romantic." Kim and the comedian continued getting to know each other with dinner dates in New York earlier this month. Amid their outings, Us exclusively reported that the pair "exchanged numbers and Pete asked if Kim would like to hang out sometime" after she made her SNL hosting debut in October. A source subsequently divulged that she "is falling for" him. Earlier this week, Davidson seemingly got the seal of approval from Kris, 66, when he celebrated his birthday with Kim and her mother. Shortly after the soiree, the King of Staten Island star and the Skims founder confirmed their relationship by holding hands in Palm Springs, California. "Kim lights up when she's around Pete," an insider revealed before the PDA photos surfaced. "Their chemistry is off the charts and getting stronger each passing day." The KKW Beauty founder's romance with Davidson made headlines eight months after she filed for divorce from Kanye West — with whom she coparents daughter North, 8, son Saint, 5, daughter Chicago, 3, and son Psalm, 2. The rapper, 44, claimed on Revolt's "Drink Champs" earlier this month that he has never seen the divorce papers and he still wants him and his estranged wife "to be together." |
| Candace Cameron Bure Calls Christmas Plans 'Antithesis of a Hallmark Movie' Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:12 AM PST Already in the Christmas spirit! With the holiday season quickly approaching, Candace Cameron Bure is no stranger to making holiday plans with her family well in advance. “I’m super excited that we’re all going to be together. My son in college is coming home for a couple of weeks and my son that lives up north is coming home. But then we’re actually going on a trip together, the five of us, and we are doing the antithesis of a Hallmark movie,” the actress, 45, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, November 19, while promoting her upcoming movie The Christmas Contest. “We are going to the beach. So we’re going to just spend a little time in Miami and enjoy some sunshine and the ocean spray. I can’t wait.” The Full House alum shares three children with husband Valeri Bure: Natasha, 23, Lev, 21, and Maksim, 19. Candace, who celebrated 25 years of marriage with Valeri, 47, earlier this year, previously got honest about maintaining a close relationship with her kids. "My kids are young adults and teenagers and I'm OK in their eyes," she told Us in November 2019. "They don't mind hanging out with me. I don't care if I'm cool in their eyes, but the fact that they actually enjoy hanging out and want to be my friend is, like, the biggest win for me ever." As the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries star looks forward to a festive reunion with her family, she opened up about her approach to creating the same kind of Christmas wonderland in her Hallmark projects. “All the Hallmark movies I done in the last 10 years, I’ve produced and executive produced as well. So that chemistry [between characters], that casting is very important to me,” Candace told Us on Friday. “I definitely said no to certain people that have been presented [to me] because if I just don’t feel like there’s going to be this connection, then obviously it’s not going to work for the audience.” The California native detailed all the hard work that goes into bringing a Hallmark movie like The Christmas Contest to life. “It’s fun to be on the producing side of it. But even more than casting, there’s so many elements that happened to make these Christmas movies as good as they are,” she noted. “I like being able to put all of those pieces together and I feel like my fans that watch these movies, they expect a really great Christmas movie. I always hope to produce that every year for them.” Candace, who will be costarring in The Christmas Contest with John Brotherton, revealed that it was “so obvious” that her former Fuller House costar had to join her onscreen again. “John Brotherton needed to play the character of Ben because we are two exes that have this long history together that have obviously broken up. Then we enter this Christmas contest and unbeknownst to the two of us, we’re both there and it’s awkward and uncomfortable,” the former talk show host explained. “So there’s a lot at stake not just for the contest, but for one another because there are still some hurt feelings over that broken up relationship. John and I, of course, were on Fuller House together for five seasons and we have great chemistry. We had such a great time on that show and I just thought having that history would be perfect.” Brotherton, 41, for his part, recalled being “so pumped” when he was offered the role. “Playing exes allowed us to really have fun with the comedy, which was so fun. I said yes right away. I had to kind of double-check with a few things and make sure I could do it,” he noted. “But I made it a priority. … It was a dream.” The Christmas Contest premieres on The Hallmark Channel on Sunday, November 28, at 8 p.m. ET.

| Vanessa Hudgens: Why My Relationship With Cole Tucker Is Different Posted: 19 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PST Making memories! Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker have enjoyed documenting their growing romance through cute photos on social media. The pair first sparked romance rumors when they were spotted holding hands in November 2020, less than one year after her split from longtime love Austin Butler. At the time, Hudgens got honest about what she was looking for when it came to a partner. "Your girl's open. I feel like at the end of the day, it's just about having similar fundamentals and wanting the same things," the Powerless alum told Entertainment Tonight. "I am not picky, really." Hudgens added: "I know what I want and I'm like, if someone comes into the picture and can give me all those things, then great. It doesn't matter if they're in the public eye or not. If anything, I prefer them not to be, but we'll see." The couple went Instagram official in honor of Valentine’s Day the following year. The same month, Tucker discussed his commitment to the High School Musical star during an MLB spring training interview. "I got a girlfriend and she's cool. She's awesome, I love her," he told reporters in February 2021. "But I don't want it to be, 'Oh, Cole's dating Vanessa … ' I don't want it to be treated any differently than Mitch [Keller] having his wife down, or Ke'Bryan [Hayes] having his girlfriend come down. She's great. She'll be around. You will see her, but you saw the headline, it is what it is." As their relationship continued to get more serious, Hudgens revealed how the duo first formed a connection. “Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes,” the Princess Switch star told Entertainment Tonight in April 2021. “Zoom, you’ve got to love it.” Hudgens believed her romance with the shortstop was something special, adding, “He’s just kind of perfect for me. I am [happy]. I really am. I think that it’s also so important to stay grateful for everything that you have in life. I’ve been making that a priority, and I feel like it’s just been making magic happen all the more.” One month later, Hudgens elaborated on how she made the first move when she originally met the pro athlete. "If I want something or someone, I'm going after them," she said during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in May 2021. "I fully just slid into his DMs and was like, 'Hey, it was nice to meet you.' So I think there is no shame in making the first move." Hudgens previously dated Zac Efron from 2006 to 2010. The Gigi performer later moved on with Butler in 2011, and nine years later, Us Weekly confirmed the duo had called it quits. Scroll down for all the cutest pics that Hudgens and Tucker have shared on social media:  The couple made their romance Instagram official with a photo of them kissing. "It’s you, it’s me, it’s us. @cotuck,” Hudgens captioned the Valentine's Day post. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  "Release the good," Tucker wrote alongside an Instagram photo of the duo smiling. That same he said he loved Hudgens in his first interview amid their romance.

Tucker commented, "Smells good," to which Hudgens responded, "@cotuck my ear taste good too?" Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  The Spring Breakers star sent love "from me and my tree” during a sweet getaway with the MLB star. That same month Hudgens revealed that she met Tucker in a virtual setting. “Me and Cole met on a Zoom meditation group. Very random, yes,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “Zoom, you’ve got to love it.” Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  "My precioussss," the actress captioned a compilation of adorable Instagram selfies from that month. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  Hudgens wished her "big man" a happy birthday on July 3rd, gushing, "👑✨🤟🏽your magic ✨Go suns. Go us. 🧡💜✨."

Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  "Missing you," the actress captioned a pic of the pair kissing in late July. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  "Go 3 ⚾️🥰," Hudgens captioned a series of photos where she visited her boyfriend at a game. The Disney alum kissed the athlete on the cheek for good luck in one of the Instagram pics. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  Hudgens took to social media to show off her "perfect" day with Tucker and friends. In one Instagram photo, the Bad Boys For Life star blew a kiss to the camera. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  "We're just, like, the same, we're very similar,” Hudgens told Entertainment Tonight as to why Tucker is her perfect mate. “We're such weirdos, it's wonderful.” Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  Hudgens told Shape that things are going “better than I could have dreamed of” with the athlete, gushing, “My relationship with myself is something I value deeply, even if things don't always go the way I expected.” She added, “For instance, my mom got married at 25, so I always thought I was going to be married at 25. That didn't happen. But I'm in such an amazing, healthy relationship, so it doesn't matter.” Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  Despite conflicting schedules, a source exclusively told Us that Hudgens and Tucker are “going strong” one year later, adding, “They try to plan fun dates when their schedules allow, but when they’re not together, they certainly FaceTime and talk all the time. They really make a cute couple.” Earlier that month, the pair hit a golf course together as the former Disney Channel star teased via Instagram, “Me? Sporty? That’s spoooooky.” Courtesy Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  The duo attended the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival in San Francisco in matching Star Wars costumes. "Haaappppyyyy Halloweeeeen," Hudgens wrote via Instagram alongside photos of the pair in their Grogu outfits. "Best. Weekend. Ever." Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  Hudgens shared a photo via Instagram of her in “vacation mode” while on a tropical holiday with Tucker. “Just magic,” she captioned a shot of the two kissing at sunset. Courtesy of Vanessa Hudgens/Instagram  The couple made their red carpet debut at the world premiere of Hudgens’ movie Tick, Tick… Boom! nearly one year after they started dating. John Salangsang/AFI/Shutterstock  During an appearance on The View, Hudgens recounted the story of how she and Tucker got to know each other. "It is literally the ultimate modern-day love story," she explained. "We met over Zoom — over a Zoom meditation group." Later, the athlete sent a GIF of himself playing baseball in the group chat. Hudgens didn't realize Tucker was the person in the image and replied, "Hot." The Princess Switch 3 star also corrected her earlier statement that she made the first move, explaining that her beau actually slid into her Instagram DMs first. Gregory Pace/Shutterstock |
