Jason Momoa And Lisa Bonet Announce Split After 16 Years Together

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 06:04 PM PST

As one door closes, another opens, or so they say. Celebrity marriages are as uncertain as life itself; we love, hurt, and grow with them as they share their journeys with the world. On Wednesday night, Jason Momoa, 42, and partner of 16 years (wife for four) Lisa Bonet, 54, jointly announced their split. Although they don't owe outsiders private information, the statement was to ensure an honest evolution following the breakup.

Hollywood It-Couple

Even though the couple kept most of their relationship life private, Jason never flinched on expressing his love for his ex-wife (Lisa isn't officially on social media.) The pair rocked red carpets together, rising to the top as one of Hollywood's IT couple, but like many others, their time is over.

Relationship Timeline

Momoa and Bonet share two biological children, Lola, 14, and Nakoa-Wolf, 13, and third child, popular actress Zoë Kravitz, from Lisa's previous marriage to Lenny Kravitz. The couple met in 2004 but waited till 2017 to tie the knot in a secret marriage ceremony. Although they officially started dating in 2005, Lisa maintains they've been together since the day they met "eating Grits and Guinness" at an L. A. bar.

Speaking to Men's Health magazine, Momoa complimented his ex-wife, saying, "…You meet someone you're completely infatuated with and then find out she's amazing, intelligent, and funny and she's a goddess…".

The Heartbreaking Statement

"We have all felt the squeeze and changes of these transformational times… A revolution is unfolding – and our family is of no exception… feeling and growing from the seismic shifts occurring," they wrote in their opening statement.

The couple assured fans of their continuing affections saying, "The love between us carries on, evolving in ways it wishes to be known and lived. We free each other to be who we are learning to be."

Devoted To The Kids

During the compulsory lockdown in 2020, the family bonded, and Momoa expressed his desire to become a better father. "My wife is very sophisticated and smart and (our kids and I are) kind of like animals that need to be trained better," he said. Now with the impending divorce, the couple wrote, "Our devotion unwavering to this sacred life & our children. Teaching our Children What's possible ~ Living the Prayer, May Love Prevail." Signed J & L.

The couple would work well co-parenting, as they did with Grammy-award winner Lenny Kravitz and Zöe. Jason is very close to the both of them, so no matter what the future hold for him and Lisa, they'll embrace it with grace. For now, Jason has deleted all mementos of Lisa and him from his Instagram page.

Instagram's Top 20 Highest-Paid Celebrities In 2022

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 05:57 PM PST

Instagram is all about posting our interesting moments and connecting with friends globally for many of us.

Instagram's impact on pop culture and marketing is far-reaching than you can imagine, with celebrities garnering millions of followers. Brand leverage on the cult-like following of these stars to reach their audience, as people are more inclined to patronize known faces.

The answer is simple – Instagram users with one million followers make about $100,000 per post, 100,000 followers make $200, and 10,000 followers earn about $88 per sponsored post. However, the figure varies based on the account owner's actual influence and reach.

He often endorses sports and fitness brands in line with his career and personality.

15. Miley Cyrus

Miley puts everything into her influencing gig so brands looking for dedicated celebrities can always count on her.

14. Nicki Minaj

Queen of Rap Onika Tanya Maraj, popularly known as Nicki Minaj, has a loyal fanbase, the Barbz, who ride with her through thick and thin.

Her 169 million followers are always ready to drop their coins when the Queen calls.

Melissa Gorga Claims Andy Cohen Refuses to Cast Snooki on 'RHONJ'

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 05:21 PM PST

Melissa Gorga and the Real Housewives of New Jersey have heard for years that it is a possibly that Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi will one day join the cast of their Bravo reality show. However, as they have also heard, Polizzi has long shot the idea know.

While there are certainly a number of fans who would love to see the Jersey Shore cast member on the long-running series, and hope she'll one day change her mind, she wouldn't be welcomed to the series even if she did want to join.

Melissa Gorga Was Questioned About Snooki On Her Podcast

During a recent episode of her On Display podcast, via The Sun, Gorga was joined by Bravo fanatic Danny Pellegrino. And, as they chatted about The Real Housewives of New Jersey, he questioned the longtime cast member about whether or not fans would ever see Polizzi in a cameo or other role.

In response, Gorga told Pellegrino and her listeners that they shouldn't hold their breath because Andy Cohen, the creator of the franchise, is completely against the casting idea.

Andy Cohen Gives Snooki's Potential Role On 'RHONJ' A 'Hard No'

After confirming that she and Polizzi, who both share three children with their husbands, Joe Gorga and Lorenzo LaValle, respectively, are "friends," Gorga revealed Cohen is not open to Polizzi joining the show.

"[He] gives her such a hard no," Gorga admitted. "He's just like, 'Don't even say it.'"

"Whenever I would go to him and be like 'Hello! She's married now, she has three kids, she lives around the block. She's great for this, I think,' and he just looks at me like 'No,'" Gorga continued.

Melissa Gorga Understands Andy Cohen's Decision

Gorga went on to say that Cohen "is just not having it" when it comes to her ongoing encouragement towards the idea of Polizzi becoming part of the cast.

She also revealed that while it makes sense to add Polizzi in certain areas, she understands why there are cons to every pro.

"To his defense, they typically do not like to cast other people who have already been on a different reality show," Gorga said. "They prefer to find an authentic lady living in New Jersey with a crazy life an a Bentley."

'RHONJ' Isn't The Only Show Snooki Isn't Welcome On

Also on the podcast, Gorga revealed that Polizzi had shared with her that she's also blocked from appearing on another Bravo show.

"You know what she said to me when she was on my show? That he won't even accept her for Watch What Happens Live anymore. So, I don't know," Gorga stated.

For more of Gorga and her cast mates, don't miss the season 12 premiere of The Real Housewives of New Jersey, which is set to air on Bravo on Tuesday, February 1, at 8/7c.

Andy Cohen Discusses Mary Cosby's 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' Season 2 Reunion Absence

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 05:14 PM PST

Mary Cosby has seemingly quit The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City after appearing on the Bravo reality series for its past two seasons.

As fans of the popular show have likely heard by now, the rest of the cast, including Jen Shah, Whitney Rose, Heather Gay, Lisa Barlow, Meredith Marks, and Jennie Nguyen, reunited earlier this month to film the reunion special for season two. And, when they did, Cosby was noticeably absent from what was expected to be a dramatic taping.

Andy Cohen Wasn't Shocked by Mary Cosby's Absence

Days after Cosby's apparent exit from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast, Andy Cohen, who hosts the reunion specials of the franchise, addressed her decision to forgo an appearance at the taping on his SiriusXM radio show, Radio Andy's Andy Cohen Live.

"As you've heard, Mary M. Cosby did not come, which was very disappointing to me," Cohen said on an episode of the show earlier this month, via Us Weekly, admitting that he wasn't completely surprised by the snub.

Andy Cohen Spokt To Mary Cosby Before The 'RHOSLC' Reunion

According to Cohen, he had spoken with Cosby prior to the taping and had a sense that she wasn't going to show up when her Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast mates reunited to hash out the events of season two.

"I spoke to her on New Year's Eve a few hours before I went on the air. We had a long talk, and it's her story to tell, but I got the sense that she was not finding gratitude in being on the show anymore," he explained.

Mary Cosby's Co-Stars Are Now In Control Of The Narrative

Still, he hoped she'd be there because he feels she's "a big part of the success" of the series -- and because he believes it is important to allow each and every member of the show to have a voice.

"This is what I dislike about people not showing up at the reunion," he said. "You allow the others to control your narrative as your last gesture. I would much rather hear from her."

As his radio show continued, Cohen said that something major goes down on an upcoming episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City.

Andy Cohen Is Excited For The Rest Of The 'RHOSLC' Season To Play Out

"The women saw the remaining six or seven episodes before the reunion, and there's something coming up that is jaw-dropping that no one knows about that will rock the foundation of two of the Housewives," Cohen teased. "When you see this play out and you realize that this was shown to the women the day before they shot the reunion and then they had to deal with it at the reunion, you will be quite engaged."

RHOSLC airs Sundays at 9/8c on Bravo.

Why Bringing Sekou Doumbouya Makes Sense For LA Lakers

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 04:34 PM PST

Since going undrafted in the 2021 NBA Draft, former Virginia Cavaliers center Jay Huff has been finding a way into the NBA. Before the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, Huff earned an opportunity to showcase his talent in the NBA after he received a two-way contract from the Los Angeles Lakers. Unfortunately, Huff failed to receive the playing time that he needed to show what he's got on the court.

Three months after signing him, the Lakers decided to waive Huff.

Lakers Replace Jay Huff With Sekou Doumbouya

The Lakers' decision to waive Huff was to open up a spot for a two-way contract to sign another player. After letting Huff go, the Lakers announced on their official Twitter account that they would be signing former Sekou Doumbouya to a two-way contract. Doumbouya entered the league in 2019 when he was selected as the No. 15 overall pick.

He started the first two years of his NBA career with the Detroit Pistons. Even since they dumped him in September last year, the French big man has been finding a team that he can call his home.

Sekou Doumbouya Signed With LA Lakers Before Start Of Season

Doumbouya has been on the Lakers' radar since the 2021 NBA offseason. As a matter of fact, before the start of the 2021-22 NBA season, Doumbouya and the Lakers reached an agreement regarding a two-way deal. Unfortunately, the former lottery pick failed to start the season with the Purple and Gold after he suffered a foot injury.

With the Lakers' need for healthy players, they ended up waiving Doumbouya and gave his spot to Chaundee Brown. Brown played two games for the Lakers before he was also waived in December.

Why Re-Signing Sekou Doumbouya Makes Sense?

As a player on a two-way contract, Doumbouya would most likely come off the bench if ever he's called by the Lakers. However, in his article, Jacob Rude of SB Nation's Silver Screen and Roll explained why bringing Doumbouya back makes a lot of sense for the Lakers.

"In the multiple months since then, the Lakers roster has continued to undergo changes both in construction and in philosophy," Rude wrote. "The team's commitment to a small ball philosophy paired with Doumbouya returning to full health led to the Lakers bringing him back in while parting ways with Huff."

Lakers Add Elite Defender

Aside from adding a player who fits Coach Frank Vogel's small-ball strategy, the recent signing of Doumbouya is also expected to bring some improvement to the Lakers' defensive efficiency that currently ranks No. 16 in the league, allowing 106.7 points per 100 possessions, per ESPN. Doumbouya may still have major flaws in his offense, but he's a player who can guard multiple positions.

When their starters need to rest, the Lakers could task Doumbouya to guard the opposing team's best player. Though he failed to live up to expectations from a lottery pick, playing with LeBron James in Los Angeles could help Doumbouya unleash his untapped potential.

Machine Gun Kelly Proposes To Megan Fox With A Double-Stoned Engagement Ring

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 04:17 PM PST

It's time to raise your glasses to the newest members of the engaged club, Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox. This unlikely couple is taking things further just when many thought their relationship wouldn't last. Although fans speculate his best friend Travis Barker's engagement to Kourtney Kardashian prompted his actions, you'll realize this proposal was no afterthought seeing the details involved.

Brief Relationship Timeline

The rockstar and actress met while filming Midnight in the Switchgrass in 2020, and then they went public after Megan featured in his music video Bloody Valentine. The Transformers actress believes she and MGK are Twin Flames (mirror souls existing in different bodies.) "I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame instead of a soul mate," she told director Randall Emmett on an episode of his podcast Give them Lala… with Randall.

Kelly and Fox both have children from a previous marriage (for Megan) and partnership (for MGK.) Since then, the couple has appeared on magazine covers together and become a Hollywood sensation. Their unusual relationship has garnered a sort of cult following on social media.

A Full Circle Moment

MGK, whose real name Colson Baker, took his lady love back under a Banyan tree where they first met to propose. Fox's caption lets us in on some of the private details of their romance. "In July of 2020, we sat under this banyan tree. We asked for magic. We were oblivious to the pain we would face together in such a short, frenetic period of time," the 35-year-old wrote.

As for Kelly's announcement, "Yes, in this life and every life beneath the same branches we fell in love under, I brought her back to ask her to marry me," he wrote. In the video Fox shared, Kelly, 's seen bending the knee under the banyan tree as his lover falls to her knees beside him in acceptance of the magnificent ring.

Twin Souls

"Tradition is one ring, but I designed it with Stephen Webster to be two: the emerald (her birthstone) and the diamond (my birthstone) set on two magnetic bands of thorns that draw together as two halves of the same soul forming one obscure heart that is our love. 1-11-2022," Kelly explained in his caption.

The thought and details involved in creating the unconventional ring are all the proof needed to know MGK wants this union and needed no prompting!

The Blood Covenant

The concluding paragraph of Fox's caption revealed the newly engaged couple sealed their commitment with a blood covenant.

"And just as in every lifetime before this one, and as in every lifetime that will follow, I said yes… and then we drank each other's blood. 1.11.22.," she wrote. It's unclear whether Fox meant that metaphorically or literally, though.

NBA Rumors: LA Lakers Could Acquire Gary Trent Jr. For Talen Horton-Tucker, Kendrick Nunn & Pick Swap

Posted: 13 Jan 2022 03:56 PM PST

After successfully forming their own "Big Three" last summer, the Los Angeles Lakers immediately became one of the heavy favorites to fully dominate the Western Conference and win the NBA championship title in the 2021-22 NBA season. Unfortunately, things aren't going as the Lakers expected since the start of the season. Their newest star acquisition, Russell Westbrook, is yet to live up to expectations and is noticeably struggling to make himself with LeBron James and Anthony Davis.

Aside from trying to get rid of Russell Westbrook, rumors are circulating that the Lakers are also eyeing to add quality players who would complement James and Davis on the court.

Lakers Interested In Gary Trent Jr.

In the past months, the Lakers have already been linked to several players who are expected to be available on the trade market before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. One of the top targets for the Lakers is Gary Trent Jr. of the Toronto Raptors. According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, the Lakers have expressed interest in adding Trent Jr. to their roster.

"The Los Angeles Lakers have been doing their due diligence around the league, and expressed interest in Raptors guard Gary Trent Jr., according to league sources," Scotto said. "One of several players they've checked in on."

Potential Trade Package

Though he's unsure if a trade between the Lakers and the Raptors would happen before the 2022 NBA trade deadline, Scotto named two players whom GM Rob Pelinka could use as potential trade chips to acquire Trent Jr. from the Raptors - Talen Horton-Tucker and Kendrick Nunn. Jason Reed of Fansided's Lake Show Life seemed to agree with Scotto.

However, in his proposed trade scenario, the Lakers won't only be sending THT and Nunn to the Raptors in exchange for Trent Jr., but they would also include the rights to swap first-round picks in 2026 in the trade package.

Raptors' Interest In Talen Horton-Tucker

As of now, the Raptors haven't shown a strong indication that they are planning to move Trent Jr. before the 2022 NBA trade deadline. However, the trade package that centered on Horton-Tucker would definitely catch their attention. During his conversation with Scotto, HoopsHype's Yossi Gozlan revealed that the Raptors have had an interest in Horton-Tucker since the 2021 NBA offseason.

"The most likely package would involve Horton-Tucker to match salaries," Gozlan said. "There was speculation that the Raptors had an interest in him when Kyle Lowry was available at last year's trade deadline, but I'm sure that changed as soon as they got Trent."

Gary Trent Jr. On-Court Impact On Lakers

The Lakers may have refused to move Horton-Tucker last summer, but trading him now makes a lot of sense, especially if it means acquiring a player of Trent Jr's caliber. The potential acquisition of Trent Jr. is expected to boost the Lakers' performance on the offensive end of the floor and provide them with the much-needed improvement in terms of floor-spacing.

This season, the 22-year-old shooting guard is posting impressive numbers, averaging 16.4 points, 2.1 assists, and 1.9 steals while shooting 42.1 percent from the field and 36.8 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.
