HoYeon Jung's Tearful Win At The SAG Awards

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:14 AM PST

HoYeon Jung took home the best actress award in the drama series category at the 28th Annual SAG Awards and delivered a tearful speech, which was met with applause from the crowd.

Along with co-star Jung-Jae Lee, who also won in his category, Jung and the Squid Game show made history as they've become the first non-English-language TV series to win SAGs.

Scroll down for HoYeon's tearful moment on the stage.

Dreams Do Come True

Wearing an embellished Louis Vuitton dress, Jung went up on stage to accept her first-ever SAG award.

The model-turned-actress was tearful as she thanked the Hollywood stars for inspiring her to dream and opening the door for her.

“First and foremost, thank you so much. I have sat many a time watching you on the big screen, dreaming of one day becoming an actor. I just want to say thank you so much.”

She finished by giving a shout-out to her castmates, who were jumping with joy over their muse's win.

Just The Beginning

During their backstage press interview, Lee expressed his pride in their culture and encouraged the public to watch out for more Korean content.

"I think it's just the beginning. There are a lot of amazing Korean content that's just as entertaining and touching as Squid Game. So, I ask that you look out for them, show us a lot of love, and continue to watch a lot of great Korean content."

Asian Representation

During the commercial break, Sandra Oh walked over to the Squid Game table to congratulate the winners. The three-time SAG winner spoke to Variety about how ecstatic she was to see more Asian representation in Hollywood.

“I couldn’t believe how many Korean people were there,” she said. “Being at this game for a long time, that wasn’t the case for a long time. So to be able to still be here while it’s happening and witnessing [it], is extremely satisfying.”

Netflix's Most-Watched Show

Created by Dong-hyuk Hwang, Squid Game was an unexpected hit that turned into a huge global phenomenon. It became Netflix's most-watched show and received a high rating of 94% rating in Rotten Tomatoes.

In January, the streaming giant announced that a season 2 has been greenlit. Hwang has hinted in a previous interview that Gi-hun will be more assertive in the upcoming season.

"His humanity is shown through a very passive manner. But I would think that in the second season, what he has learned from the games and his experience in the first season, they will all be put to use in a more active manner."

NBA Rumors: Lakers Could Trade Russell Westbrook To Knicks For 'Secondary Talents'

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:11 AM PST

The Los Angeles Lakers traded for Russell Westbrook last summer with the hope that pairing him with LeBron James and Anthony Davis would give them a better chance of fully dominating the Western Conference and winning the NBA championship title in the 2021-22 NBA season. Unfortunately, things didn't go as the Lakers expected. Aside from his inconsistent performance on both ends of the floor, Westbrook is also noticeably struggling to make himself fit with James and Davis on the court.

The season is yet to come to an end, but rumors have already started to circulate about Westbrook's inevitable departure from the Lakers in the 2022 NBA offseason.

Lakers Could Dump Russell Westbrook To Knicks

Finding Westbrook a new home won't be easy, but it's not entirely impossible. In a recent article, Brett Siegel of NBA Analysis Network suggested potential offseason options for the Purple and Gold to dump Westbrook and his massive salary. These include trading Westbrook to the New York Knicks in exchange for "secondary talents."

"One or two other teams would likely be involved in a Russell Westbrook to New York trade if it were to happen this upcoming offseason, but the secondary talents the Lakers could pursue include: Kemba Walker, Evan Fournier, Alec Burks, Nerlens Noel, and Derrick Rose. None of those five players change the Lakers outlook dramatically, but they present means to cap space and more importantly, can provide depth that they do not have on the bench right now."Why The Lakers Would Make The Trade

Trading Westbrook to Knicks for "secondary talents" would make a lot of sense for the Lakers, especially if they won't need to sacrifice a future first-round pick in the process. Kemba Walker, Derrick Rose, Evan Fournier, Alec Burks, and Nerlens Noel may not be as accomplished as Westbrook, but they are more comfortable taking supporting roles.

Walker and Rose could try to fill the hole that Westbrook would be leaving in the Lakers' backcourt, while Fournier and Burks could address the much-needed improvement in terms of floor spacing around James and Davis. Noel could serve as the primary backup for Davis or his new frontcourt partner if the Lakers decide to part ways with Dwight Howard next summer.

Knicks Get A Legitimate Superstar

The potential deal would fulfill the Knicks' dream of adding a legitimate superstar to their roster. Westbrook may have been a huge disappointment in Los Angeles, but it doesn't necessarily mean that the same thing would happen when he starts playing in New York. While he's viewed as the odd man on the Lakers, his critics couldn't erase the fact that he's a former MVP, a nine-time NBA All-Star, and a two-time All-NBA First Team.

Despite his struggle in the 2021-22 NBA season, Westbrook is still capable of performing at a high level. Adding Westbrook may not be enough to turn the Knicks into an instant title contender, but it would give them a better chance of reaching the playoffs next year.

Russell Westbrook Would Welcome A Trade To New York

Westbrook would definitely love the idea of being traded to the Knicks in the 2022 NBA offseason. Aside from having the opportunity to play for another big-market team, it would also give him the chance to become the team's main guy once again. Being the No. 1 option on the offensive end of the floor would enable Westbrook to maximize his full potential on the court. If he plays well with the Knicks next season, it would help him land a decent contract when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in the summer of 2023.

Billie Eilish Shows Off Ocean Eyes

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:08 AM PST

Teen sensation Billie Eilish, famous for her song Ocean Eyes, gave her 101 million Instagram followers a glimpse into her inspiration. The 20-year-old who went blonde at the beginning of her new (Happier than Ever) era is now back to her signature black hair, which she rocked for her latest magazine spread. Billie's V Magazine feature revealed some intimate details about the singer, and if you want to find out some of them, keep reading.

Billie Shows Off Ocean Eyes

Billie shared a picture of her fresh face which we suspect is a colored resolution of her V Magazine photoshoot. Her glossy black hair styled into a scanty fringe and pinned back curly wave frames her piercing ice-blue eyes reminding us of her hit single Ocean Eyes. She declares that her love is as vast as a lagoon in the accompanying caption as she stares into the camera. Billie's face is makeup-free except for a peachy rose lip gloss she slicked over her lips.

V Magazine Interview

For her V Magazine cover, Billie wore a button-up collared black t-shirt, which is very on-brand since she loves to cover her body. The issue titled Billie in Bloom covers intimate details about her early days as a teen Indie pop star and her metamorphosis into youthfulness. Billie's first major revelation was about her Sleep Paralysis and how it influenced her feelings about going out. The nightmares stopped her from falling asleep peacefully, so she relied on meditation apps to induce rest.

"And I would listen to that meditation app every single time I needed to take a breath and not think about the horrors that were going on in my mind."Overcoming Social Anxiety

One would think Billie could've hired security to help her social anxiety but as she put it,

"I was at the level of fame that need security, but also the level of fame where you don't really have the resources."

Now that she can afford a security team, the Billie Bosa Nova singer isn't so scared to go out anymore, and she's worked through therapy to deal with her nightmares and sleep paralysis.

Same Old Billie

Has fame changed Billie? No. She still has the same best friends and maintains a loving relationship with her family, especially her older brother Finneas, a major collaborator in her music.

The 20-year-old is the youngest ever entertainer set to headline Coachella this summer. Check out the lineup below.

Rihanna Glows While Dancing For 'Hustla Baby 2.0'

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 09:06 AM PST

Rihanna has been a delight these past months since she revealed her pregnancy, and we can't decide who we love more - Pregnant Robyn or Makeup Fenty. We've decided to choose both since the billionaire makes it easy for us to love every part of her, whether she's killing it at fashion shows with her growing bump or showing off her makeup application skills.

CEO Of Glow

Before the bump, Rihanna had other things cooking businesswise, as we learned from Fenty Beauty's latest post. As the official page put it, the CEO of GLOW turned up to a mash-up playing on the words KILLAWATT and GLOW. If they sound familiar, it's because KILLAWATT is the name of one of Riri's liquid highlighters guaranteed to make you stand out with its shiny glow.

The business mogul danced in a pink silk dress as she applied makeup to her face highlighting her hair and jewelry. She wrapped her shiny black hair in a messy chignon while expertly showing off her tube of Hustla Baby 2.0 Liquid Killawatt highlighter.

Fenty Beauty Is Now In ULTA

The good news is that you can get the liquid Killawatt and more Fenty Beauty products at ULTA Beauty from March 6. Last month, Rihanna announced the new partnership with a special video detailing her easy-to-follow makeup routine. Though the product is only available in select stores, fans can already see the setup in some of their neighborhoods, and of course, the first stop was the new ICON collection.

Makeup Lessons With The Bad Gal

Don't you just love it when Rihanna gives makeup lessons? They're so simple and easy to follow. She showed her three easy steps while promoting her new partnership.

The first step is PRO FILTR, then Define and Contour, and finally blot with Invisimatte translucent powder. Last but not least, in Riri's words, is Gloss Bomb.

She then let the cat out of the bag - Fenty Beauty is now available at select ULTA Beauty stores.

Fenty Beauty And Fenty Skin Party

This year, Rihanna's annual Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin Party introduced us to the new status quo defying maternity style Rihanna's been serving. Riri attended the party with her boyfriend and baby daddy, A$AP Rocky, and we wouldn't soon forget how they gushed over each other. First, Rihanna called her to boo a keeper after he said he loved everything about her. When the red carpet reporter asked him about his favorite product, he replied, "Her." We're not swooning. You are!

By keeping a thorough journal of her activities, Brie is able to monitor her thoughts and feelings along the way and even take a look back to figure out what’s working the best and other areas where maybe she can recalibrate for an optimal life.

The Brie Cleanse

It would shock some to know that Brie is a huge proponent of cleansing after sweating it up in the sauna. After gifting herself a major session of resting and relaxation, Brie will hit the show and then wash her face thoroughly – sometimes up to four times a day. Now that is some serious facial love that everyone could learn to get on board with!

Brie Boasts An Impressive Gym

In order to maintain her figure as one of Marvel’s most important and strongest heroes, Brie has had to up her training in recent years and now boasts an impressive home gym that her Instagram followers have seen in full swing. Along with her personal trainer, Brie has uploaded several videos of her workouts that have since gone viral, including one where she pushed a 5,000-pound Jeep. There’s no question that Larson is ready to take on the universe in the follow-up movie to her billion-dollar-plus Captain Marvel debut.

'The Marvels' Is Coming Soon!

In what was initially thought as a direct sequel to her debut in Captain Marvel, her next movie in the franchise will include a team-up with Teyonah Parris’ Monica Rambeau (who debuted in WandaVision), and Iman Vellani as Kamala Khan, who will debut later this year in her own Disney+ series, Ms. Marvel. Also starring will be Samuel L. Jackson, reprising his iconic role as Nick Fury, with Nia DeCosta directing. The Marvels is set to hit theatres on November 11th, 2022.

UFC News: Nate Diaz Reveals Condition Before Fighting Conor McGregor For Third Time

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:30 AM PST

It has been nine months since UFC welterweight contender Nate Diaz last fought in the Octagon. At UFC 263, Diaz engaged in a thrilling five-round match against Leon Edwards. Though Edwards dominated the first four rounds of their fight, Diaz managed to give him a good beating in the fifth round. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for him to win as Edwards defeated him via unanimous decision.

With one match left on his UFC contract, many people are interested to know who Diaz would face in what he described as his retirement fight.

Dana White On Nate Diaz's Next Fight

In a recent interview with TMZ Sports, UFC President Dana White talked about several interesting topics, including potential opponents for Diaz. White admitted that they are currently working on a possible bout between Diaz and former UFC interim lightweight champion Dustin Poirier, but they are also not closing their doors on the trilogy fight between Diaz and former UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor.

"We're still working on [the Diaz-Poirier] fight. That fight's not done yet. I wouldn't count out a Conor-Nate 3. Listen, I'd be shocked if that fight didn't happen again," White said.

Nate Diaz Reacts On Dana White's Statement

The trilogy fight between Diaz and McGregor is one of the highly-anticipated fights in the world of mixed martial arts. Since UFC 202, MMA fans have been waiting for Diaz and McGregor to settle their score in the Octagon. Unfortunately, as of now, Diaz doesn't seem to be interested in fighting "The Notorious" again. On Twitter, Diaz responded to White's statements, saying that if McGregor wants to face him in the Octagon, he should first end his losing streak and prove that he's in perfect shape.

"Conor’s gonna have to get him some wins and prove he’s not so fragile first," Diaz said.

Nate Diaz Targeting Dustin Poirier

While he's not completely closing his doors on the potential trilogy fight between him and McGregor, Diaz currently has his eyes on another fighter at the UFC lightweight division. In the past months, Diaz has been urging the UFC to schedule a match between him and Poirier.

“I would like to fight Dustin Poirier. Like now,” Diaz said. “Like I’ve been trying to. If there’s any mix-up it’s him, and them, and the game. I want the fight now. What’s up Dana White? Let’s get this retirement fight cracking so I can get out of this fight game. I’m done with it.”

Dana White On Conor McGregor's Return

McGregor has been on the sideline since suffering a heartbreaking defeat at the hands of Poirier at UFC 264. In the first round of their fight, McGregor broke his leg which rendered him unable to continue the match. As of now, "The Notorious" has already shown a massive improvement in his rehabilitation and hinted at the possibility of a July return in the Octagon.

However, White believes it would take longer before fans see McGregor fight again in the UFC. During his interview with TMZ Sports, White said that he's expecting McGregor to return "in early fall."

Marysol Patton Reveals The One Person She Doesn't Want Back On 'RHONY'

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:28 AM PST

Marysol Patton is sharing her thoughts on the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives of New York City and looking back at her start on The Real Housewives of Miami.

Marysol Patton Knows Who She Doesn't Want To See On 'RHONY' Season 14

Marysol Patton was questioned about the upcoming 14th season of The Real Housewives of New York City during a recent interview with Adam Cohen Aslatei for his Instagram series S'More Live.

As the Bravo reality series remains in hiatus following a very poorly-rated 13th season, which aired on Bravo in 2021, Patton shared her thoughts about who she'd like to see return for season 14 -- and who she would be okay with not seeing on the series. And, she didn't hesitate to name Carole Radziwill as the person she does not want to see.

Marysol Patton Is No Fan Of Carole Radziwill Returning To 'RHONY'

When Patton was asked who she doesn't want to see appearing on the 14th season of The Real Housewives of New York City, she declared, "Carol Raziwill."

As RHONY fans may recall, Radziwill joined the show, along with Heather Thomson and Aviva Drescher, for season five after Jill Zarin, Kelly Bensimon, Alex McCord, and Cindy Barshop exited the series.

Marysol Patton Wants Luann De Lesseps To Return To 'RHONY'

When Patton was then questioned about who she'd like to see back on the small screen on RHONY, she gave a nod to her longtime friend Luann de Lesseps, who has been a part of the show since it first began in 2008.

"Well, one of my closest besties [is] Luann, so I'm always voting for Luann, and I love Leah and Sonja, I think those three definitely have to come back. I don't know if Ramona is just that necessary evil that you just have to have to rub everyone the wrong way...I would love Tinsley to come back," she shared.

Over the past couple of years, Ramona Singer has established a reputation of being fairly controversial and often accused of acting like a diva. However, as Patton pointed out, every show needs a villain.

Marysol Patton Had Bell's Palsy During 'RHOM' Audition

Looking back at her audition for The Real Housewives of Miami, Patton said that she was suffering from Bell's palsy when she met with producers.

"I went and I had Bell's palsy, at the time for about a week, it lasted about a month, and my face was like this totally paralyzed. I went into the interview like that, and I got it," she recalled.

The Real Housewives of Miami season four is currently streaming on Peacock.

'I’ve Never Ended A Season Like This': Heather Dubrow Shares Thoughts On 'RHOC' Season 16

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:23 AM PST

Heather Dubrow feels that the ending of the 16th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County will offer the perfect launch point for the future of the Bravo reality series.

Heather Dubrow Describes Season As 'Weird' And 'Cool'

Heather Dubrow rejoined the Real Housewives of Orange County cast for season 16 last year after a four-season hiatus. And as she looked back at the time she spent with her castmates, including Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Dr. Jen Armstrong, Noella Bergener, and Emily Simpson, she described the latest set of episodes.

“I’ve never ended a season like this before so that was sort of weird and interesting and cool,” Heather explained during an interview with Hollywood Life on March 1.

According to Heather, she believes that certain members of the Bravo reality series were able to form real friendships with one another amid production.

Heather Dubrow Believes They Set Themselves Up For An 'Interesting' 17th Season

"The connectivity between the cast and the real relationships between several cast members is such an amazing foundation to then move forward with for the next season," Heather said. "I have no idea where it goes from there, but it’ll be interesting to see.”

Going along with the theme of connectivity, Heather said she attempted to welcome Tamra Judge back to the show in the form of a guest appearance. However, it “didn’t work out."

“I asked her to come back this year. I think that one of the things the audience was looking for was a connectivity between the cast,” Heather revealed. “I haven’t watched since I’ve been gone but my understanding is that really hasn’t been there, so I feel like this season has been a very transitional season and by that respect, and by the end of the season, I think the audience is gonna be really happy with where it ends.”

Heather Dubrow Is Also Starring In The '7 Year Stitch'

As she filmed the 16th season of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather was also in production on 7 Year Stitch with husband Terry Dubrow, a plastic surgeon.

"Terry and I were actually filming [the show] at the same time we were filming Housewives and what was so crazy about it was I would sit down with Jen and we we would start talking and I’d be like, ‘My gosh, they should be on 7 Year Stitch, this couple!'” she laughed, giving a nod to Dr. Jen and her husband, Ryan Holliday, whose marital issues were front and center amid season 16.

Heather Dubrow Can Be Seen On Bravo Every Wednesday

To see more of Heather, Terry, and their castmates, don't miss new episodes of The Real Housewives of Orange County season 16 on Wednesday nights at 9/8c on Bravo.

Kaia Gerber Soaks Up The Summer In Bikini

Posted: 04 Mar 2022 08:18 AM PST

The supermodel sets the paparazzi on fire with stunning swimsuits while on vacation.

Kaia Gerber Steams Up Mexico In Bikini

She may be used to the spotlight now as the daughter of supermodel Cindy Crawford and one in her own right, but Kaia Gerber was recently snapped up by the paparazzi in a series of photos in Mexico that caused a sensation on her social media accounts.

Some of her 7.5 million Instagram followers may have been a bit perturbed with some of the shots that the press managed to snap of her as she flaunted throughout the country and the beach, but Gerber took it all in stride as she shared the vacation with both her mother and father, Rande Gerber.

Paparazzi Surrounds The High-Profile Family

Wherever the three went during the vacation, the paparazzi were never far behind, as they managed to catch Kaia in several poses as she ran around in her swimwear and enjoyed the time off from her very busy life as a model and burgeoning actor.

While in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Kaia was seen in several bikinis, including black bikini bottoms, a stringy pattern top, and of course the pre-requisite sunglasses. Also getting her own time by the paparazzi was Cindy Crawford, who was seen canoodling with her husband as the family looked at peace while enjoying the gorgeous sunny views and bright weather.

Kaia Balances The Grind Of The Fashion World While Breaking Into Hollywood

Although Kaia Gerber has made a name for herself outside the spotlight of her mother, the 20-year-old is also attempting to break into Hollywood. Just like her mother before her, Gerber is slowly inching her way into the business and recently starred in the hit television show American Horror Story, one of the better reviewed seasons as of late. Of course, modeling is her main gig, but it will be interesting to see how far Gerber goes as a burgeoning actress and if she can successfully do what many models attempt but rarely succeed at.

Kaia Hit Up Malibu Too!

It was not just Mexico where Kaia was seen tanning her famous body, but also in Malibu, where she was snapped spending time with close friends. While there, she can be seen in a retro swimsuit that included a red bottom and blue top, and later she caused another sensation in a thong yellow bikini and sunhat that was a hit with her social media followers.

Kaia Takes On The World

It’s not easy to break out in the fashion world, and even with famous parents, Kaia has had to learn the ropes as the industry has significantly changed since her mother Cindy ruled the runways. With her upbringing, inside knowledge of the business, and genetic blessings, we are sure that Kaia will be one of the current young crop of supermodels that will be around for as long as they want to be!
