Rebel Wilson Hits The Beach In Thigh-Skimming Red Carpet Minidress

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 10:15 PM PST

Rebel Wilson is proving that a red carpet-ready look can be worn pretty much anywhere - even, it would seem, on the beach. The Aussie actress, 41, continues to make headlines for having dropped over 70 pounds, and she definitely picked a look to show off her slimmed-down frame in a recent Instagram share.

Rebel, who has been opening up on her weight loss journey this fall, looked happy, healthy, and super-stylish, also going leggy. The Olly partner also gained over half a million views from her army of followers.

Hitting The Beach!

Scroll for the video. It comes as Rebel makes headlines for sparking a thigh gap storm while in an unzipped swimsuit - body image was discussed on the star's Instagram after one fan commented on her "thigh gap" with a heart-eye emoji.

With less controversy, this video showed the Pitch Perfect actress in a boomerang as she frolicked around lapping waters during an idyllic vacation and rocked a super-cute and feminine red minidress with loose frilly accents and long sleeves, plus a round neckline.

Rebel, whose Fiji travels come with her newly-announced status as Tourism Fiji's brand ambassador, took to her caption, writing: "Discovering happiness …and sooooo much more (to be revealed soon 😜) ☀️ 🇫🇯 Song: @kukifj."

Rebel also took to her Instagram stories to mark the new gig, telling fans: "I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone in Fiji, Tourism Fiji, the Fiji government, Fiji Airways - everything has just been so amazing. It's been such an amazing trip, and I'm so proud to be doing these commercials for Fiji and promoting your beautiful country."

Fresh Weight Loss Reveal

It's been a year since Rebel first made headlines for addressing her massive weight loss on Instagram Live, revealing mindful eating and old-fashioned outdoor walks to be behind her slimmed-down frame.

This fall, she told Today: "I feel like sometimes people think you need to work your body really hard to get results, and yeah, if you were training to be the next Thor or something you would be doing hardcore things, but as a regular person, walking is just so healthy for you. The body is designed to move in that way."

A Good Old Walk

Rebel even highlighted the bonuses of getting her podcast game on while burning her calories, adding:

"When I go for a walk, I can put in a podcast or listen to music, and it's so easy to do anywhere in the world. I can just go out and do it. It's become my favorite form of exercise right now."

The actress made headlines this year for sharing a photo at her "most unhealthiest," revealing that behind the smile, there was deep pain.

Bella Hadid Stuns Pantless With Killer Abs Out For Versace

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 10:10 PM PST

Bella Hadid is showing her endorsement potential muscle alongside her actual muscle. The supermodel, already fronting Dior Beauty and Kim Kardashian-adored brand Mugler, was this month announced as fronting Versace's latest Virtus Handbag collection, with photos on the luxury brand's Instagram showing her in a variety of all-black and figure-flaunting getups.

The sister to Gigi Hadid was shouted out in "goddess" mode by Donatella Versace's prestigious label, likely earning herself some mighty-high top-up cash in exchange for her promotional services.

New Versace Gig

Bella, fresh from a raw and tearful Instagram post as she detailed having experienced burn-out and breakdowns in the past, was looking on full form. The 25-year-old was photographed glamorously and posing in a super low-slung skirt and black bra, with the three-piece finish completed via a bolero jacket held together by a tiny gold glasp.

All 60's pouffy hair and flaunting her bee-stung pout, the Palestinian-Dutch model held up a Versace bag with gold chains, but that was just look one.

Bella reappeared in another image, this time highlighting her tiny waist and toned thighs as she posed in a black and tight bodysuit, plus a belt bearing the Versace logo. A caption from the iconic designer shouted Hadid out, reading:

"A meeting of icons - supermodel @bellahadid captures the feminine confidence of the #VersaceVirtus collection. Discover the styles at the link in bio."

"@bellahadid channels her inner and outer goddess in the new campaign. Explore the designs at the link in bio," the brand added in a separate image. More after the snap!

Opening Up On Breakdowns

On November 10, Hadid fronted media outlets for posting about her mental health. She told followers: "Social media is not real. For anyone struggling, please remember that. Sometimes all you've gotta hear is that you're not alone," adding:

"I've had enough breakdowns and burnouts to know this: if you work hard enough on yourself, spending time alone to understand your traumas, triggers, joys, and routine, you will always be able to understand or learn more about your own pain and how to handle it."

'Light At The End Of The Tunnel'

The star, who follows in the footsteps of supermodel Kendall Jenner's 2021 anxiety reveal, continued with a positive spirit.

"I want you to know, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and the rollercoaster always comes to a complete stop at some point," she said, also admitting: "There is always room for it to start up again, but for me it's always been nice to know that even if it's a few days, weeks, or months, it does get better, to some extent, even for a moment."

Andy Cohen Pays Tribute After the Death of 'RHOBH' Star Lisa Rinna's Mom Lois

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 05:06 PM PST

Lisa Rinna tragically lost her mother, Lois Rinna, to a stroke earlier this month. And during an episode of Watch What Happens Live earlier this week, Andy Cohen paid tribute to her.

"I want to take a minute to acknowledge Lisa Rinna's mom Lois, who sadly passed yesterday," Cohen began in a clip shared on Twitter. "We've always loved Lois and her appearances on the Housewives of Beverly Hills. I want to take a look back at a few of our favorite moments from her time on the show."

Good Advice From Mom

As the tribute clips began, Lisa was heard telling cameras, "Lois really taught me age is all about attitude and if you feel young, you will be young."

Then, as Lois was seen dancing while singing, "East side, west side, all around the town," Lisa stood in front of her, filming a video on her phone that she surely shared on social media.

Lisa went on to ask her mother, "What do you think of all this?," as she and her cast mates contemplated one of their many cast issues.

"I think it's bullish-t!" Lois replied.

Lois Rinna Was a Fan Favorite

During another scene from The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Lisa informed her cast mates, "I just asked my mom if she'd ever been to a strip club and she said, 'Yes!'"

"Lois, really?" Erika Jayne asked.

"Yeah! What the heck," Lois responded.

At another moment, Lisa asked her mother for some "sage advice."

"You'll think back about all this and you'll think, 'Oh God, that was crazy.' And then you wake up and you're 81," Lois replied.

"You're 91, actually!" Lisa noted as Lois admitted she "forgot."

Amelia Hamlin's Tribute

At the end of the Twitter clip, which was viewed by over 90,000 people, Andy said, "Cheers to Lois, and to Lisa and everybody in Lois' family, we are sending all of our love."

On Instagram earlier this week, Lisa's youngest daughter, Amelia Hamlin, shared a tribute post to her grandmother, along with a photo of Lois in her wedding dress.

"My guardian angel for the rest of time.. I love you so much my Lolo… you were and will always be much more than a grandma to me.. you were my best friend," she said. "My strength. My rock. My everything. Your laughter never failed to light up any room you ever walked in. Anyone who got the pleasure to meet you was so blessed.. there will never be anyone like you."

A 'Special Human' To Delilah

Meanwhile, on Delilah Hamlin's page, she shared an equally emotional message with her Instagram fans and followers.

"Nana, What a special human you were. There are no words to encapsulate how amazing you were," she said. "This journey has been such a sad, shocking, yet beautiful experience because I know now you get to be with Frank and be reunited with the love of your life, while looking as beautiful as ever. Heaven has certainly gained a beautiful, smart, entertaining, compassionate, loving angel."

Lisa and her cast mates began filming scenes for the upcoming 12th season of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills in October and are expected to continue production for at least a couple more months.

Dakota Johnson Rocks Fluffy Grocery-Run Pants For $30 Water

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 05:00 PM PST

Dakota Johnson is rocking a pair of pants everyone is gonna want - not everyone will be keen to spend the $30 the actress dropped on water, though. The 50 Shades of Grey star is fresh from paparazzi photos showing her grocery shopping with Coldplay frontman boyfriend Chris Martin, and they weren't buying at the dollar store.

Dakota was photographed at one of L.A.'s fanciest grocery stores, one dubbed the city's "most expensive." Of course, she was at Erewhon Market, where Miley Cyrus and the Kardashians are at home.

Dakota Johnson Shops High-End

Scroll for the photos. The brunette beauty spent the weekend topping up on her groceries, also spending quality time with Chris. Snapped exiting the store adored by the rich and famous, the American actress was seen in slouchy and elasticated-waist pants in tan, with the fluffy fabrics and loose fit seeming perfect for a store run.

Dakota also donned a printed blue tee with '90s vibes, practical black flats, plus a face mask. She held a takeout coffee, as did Chris.

See The Photos Below

Chris held a paper bag with the couple's purchases, but he was seen brandishing his pricey $30 water purchase. He was spotted with a bottle of Ophora water, one promising to be "hyper oxygenated."

"OPHORA Water Technologies produces Water For Wellness as nature intended it to be. OPHORA's restructured functional water is not only nano-pure but Hyper-Oxygenated," the brand's website tells shoppers, adding that it "engineers and manufactures state-of-the-art water improvement products and systems."

Scroll for Dakota's sizzling Gucci looks.

'Not A Gym Rat'

Dakota, who has been turning heads with her frontless Gucci dress as she continues to rock high-end looks, still has fans eyeing up her super-fit body. In 2018, the star's trainer opened up to Daily Mail, revealing:

"Dakota had been training a month before in New York City with a trainer, and I got some guidance on what she wanted, which was to remain as graceful, long-limbed and lean" as she detailed training the star for 50 Shades of Grey's sex scenes.

See Her Dress Below

"Dakota was already fairly lean, so it's not like there was weight to lose. She wanted to be more toned, and for toning, you definitely need resistance. You also need to just do it the right amount of time and intensity," the actress' trainer added.

Dakota also partook in hot yoga, even getting help from a ballet coach. The star, 32, remains best known for her50 Shades role, having also starred in The Social Network and 2020 movie The High Note.

'RHOSLC' Star Meredith Marks on Why Jen Shah is Allegedly Flagged by Louis Vuitton

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:29 PM PST

Jen Shah was accused of being red-flagged by Louis Vuitton on the latest episode of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. While discussing her concerns over the legitimacy of Shah's business, which has since been alleged as a fraudulent, money laundering scheme, Meredith Marks made the shocking proclamation.

"There's other red flags that I have, like she's red-flagged in the system of Louis Vuitton because she pays in cash," Marks stated on the show, much to the surprise of the rest of the cast.

Shah's Supposed Flagging at Louis Vuitton

Following the new episode, the cast was featured on the November 15 episode of the Real Housewives of Salt Lake City: After Show, where the issue was further discussed.

"I knew of Jen's history with a lot of really kind of infamous telemarketing guys and companies in Utah because we have a lot of businesses here. You know, the regulations are pretty loose where they do high-pressure telemarketing sales and she had worked with all of those guys. But I wasn't privy to anything about Louis Vuitton," Heather Gay said.

Detriment to Lisa Barlow

As for Lisa Barlow, she joked that if she were flagged by Louis Vuttion, it would basically be the end of the world.

"For me, the Louis Vuitton thing, I was like, 'Oh my gosh, that would be the worst thing that ever happened to me.' Sometimes I pay for things with cash at Louis Vuitton. What's wrong with paying with cash? I know it's a rare form of tender," she noted.

Next, Marks was questioned about the topic.

"For a store, if you have a customer who's continually paying in cash, you have to start to wonder, why are they not using a credit card?" she explained.

Shah's Use of Cash Isn't Bad

"Does it mean anything on its face? No, of course not," Marks shared of Shah's use of cash at Louis Vuitton.

That said, there's also reason to believe that more lies behind the issue.

As she went on, "If somebody has money that is not clean money, they can't put it in a bank account, it's somehow illegally earned cash, and you buy stuff at a store, that's a really easy way to spend it as opposed to if you put it on your credit card, you have to be able to pay the credit card statement. And that would means that cash would have to be deposited into a bank account, which the banks obviously have certain requirements."

Jen Shah's Card Was Once Declined

Speaking of her experience with Shah at her store, Marks said Shah has made purchases on a number of occasions.

"Jen has purchased from us a few times. That was a bit of a red flag too, to be honest, because it took about an hour and three of four credit cards to make the sale go through. It was initially declined," she shared.

To see more of Shah, Marks, and their cast mates, don't miss new episodes of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City season two, which air on Sunday nights at 9/8c on Bravo.

Inside Emily Ratajkowski's $2 Million Los Angeles Home

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:17 PM PST

She's been raised in an art-filled environment, so Emily Ratajkowski knew exactly the type of ambiance she wanted to create when she began decorating her Los Angeles home.

After purchasing the $2 million Echo park house together with husband Sebastian Bear-McClard two years ago, the 30-year-old supermodel, entrepreneur, and author poured all of her creativity into furbishing the warehouse-style outfit, now brimming with light, color, and gorgeous art.

The couple, who moved in shortly after saying their "I do"s in February 2018, share the home with their nine-month-old son, Sylvester Apollo Bear, and their rescue German shepherd, Colombo.

Scroll for photos of their stunning family home, straight off of Ratajkowski's Instagram feed.

Large Deck & Separate Cottage

With beauty and elegance being her trade, the catwalk queen's flawless sense of style permeates every inch of the three-bedroom, three-bathroom residence.

Built in 1946, the two-level house spans 1650 square feet of living space, with every corner artfully expressing the skilled decorator's personality.

Tucked away on a cul-de-sac on a quiet street, the suburban home comes with a generous backyard, a large deck, bubbling hot tub, gas fire pit, and a separate cottage that connects to the main house through an open breezeway.

Other impressive features include high, wood-paneled ceilings, a beamed roof, a 15-foot brick fireplace in the living room, and clerestory windows, "a trademark characteristic of mid-century architecture." However, the home's true character lies within the sleek furnishings and trendy art pieces.

Vintage, Retro & Modern

Proving she's a natural, Ratajkowski has combined her love of vintage with modern and retro touches into what Vogue describes as "interior design perfection."

For the master bedroom, the Inamorata Woman owner chose a pair of Renaissance-style chartreuse armchairs, complemented by a bright patterned rug, as seen in the embed below. Her favorite artwork hangs above the enormous bare wooden bed, with massive windows letting in the California sun.

The dining room boasts '60s-style acrylic chairs, whose bright red hue adds an aesthetically pleasing contrast to the graphic black-and-white round table.

Art Deco Feel

The custom kitchen, embedded below, is steeped in Ratajkowski's art deco taste, with white marble fittings accenting the natural wood cabinetry.

In the living room, vibrant layered carpets liven up the dark wooden floors. A retro marble coffee table sits in front of a sorbet corner sofa large enough to accommodate a party of guests. A red retro lounge chair complements it from across the room.

Numerous colorful paintings pop against the classic white walls and graphic ceramic jugs by Californian artist Grant Levy-Lucero are on display by the fireplace.

Working Her Magic

As with every endeavor she has undertaken, the remodel was done over a few stages, with Ratajkowski showcasing her progress on Instagram. The swimwear designer has put a lot of thought into choosing the color scheme and assigning each art piece its corresponding place.

Older photos from before the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue model worked her magic to turn the place into her dream home show the extent of the revamp.

Ratajkowski and her husband also have a chic loft in New York City, which the supermodel has curated in a similar art-deco style.

Lakers News: Details Of LeBron James' Return From Injury Revealed

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:16 PM PST

The Los Angeles Lakers took a huge blow earlier in the 2021-22 NBA season when their main man, LeBron James, went down with an injury. In their 119-117 victory over the Houston Rockets, the 36-year-old small forward suffered an abdominal strain. Though his injury wasn't severe, the Lakers decided to give him enough time to rest to make sure that he's 100 percent healthy when the real battle begins in the 2022 NBA Playoffs.

When the news about his injury surfaced in the league, James was only expected to be on the sideline for a week. However, as of now, the veteran superstar has already missed a total of seven games.

Returning To LA Lakers Soon

Luckily, recent reports revealed that it will only be a matter of time before James officially returns from an injury. Though he's still not expected to play in their upcoming matchup against the reigning NBA champions Milwaukee Bucks, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported that James might join the Lakers when they go up against the Boston Celtics on Friday night.

"There's growing optimism that Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James -- who has been out two weeks with an abdominal strain -- could make his return against the Boston Celtics on Friday, sources told ESPN," Wojnarowski wrote.

Lakers Badly Need LeBron Back

Wojnarowski's latest report is undeniably good news for Purple and Gold and their fans. The Lakers were already struggling to consistently win games even before he suffered an abdominal strain, but things got worse in Los Angeles when they played games without him. Though they still have Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook on their team, the Lakers went 3-7 in the games that James was absent.

These included embarrassing defeats at the hands of young teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Minnesota Timberwolves. So far, the Lakers are sitting in the No. 7 spot in the Western Conference with an 8-7 record.

Expected To Boost Lakers' Offense

The Lakers would definitely welcome James' return to the court, especially now that they are playing poorly on the offensive end of the floor. As of now, the Lakers only rank No. 24 this season in offensive efficiency, scoring 103.4 points per 100 possessions, per ESPN. In James, the Lakers would be bringing back one of their best scorers, as well as a great playmaker, rebounder, and defender.

Before he suffered an injury, James was averaging 24.8 points, 5.5 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 2.3 steals while shooting 46.7 percent from the field and 34.7 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN.

Unlikely To Win Another Title

James' nearing return is expected to improve the Lakers' standings in the Western Conference. However, with his growing health concerns and issues with the team's chemistry, some people, including Stephen A. Smith of ESPN, started doubting if James could still win another NBA championship title. In an appearance on _ESPN's First Take, via Youtube, Smith said that Stephen Curry's Golden State Warriors are the ones who would be going to the 2022 NBA Finals and not LeBron's Lakers.

"Let me say something else: I think LeBron has won his last title," Smith said, as quoted by Sports Casting. "I think it's over. It's not LeBron's fault. LeBron is gonna be LeBron. He gonna come back. He gonna do what he gonna do. They ain't winning no chip."

Chris Hemsworth Highlights Bulging Veins In Jacked Arms Workout

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 03:13 PM PST

Chris Hemsworth is giving The Rock a run for his money with a mind-blowing display of muscle and - it would seem - veins. The Australian actor, who bulked up for his MCU role as Thor, has been showing off his ripped body as he prepares for Extraction 2, and the photo isn't for the faint-hearted.

Prepping for the Hulk Hogan biopic, Chris has been keeping his 51 million+ Instagram followers updated on the training front - he was "six weeks out" in the below photo.

Talk About Jacked

Scroll for the photo. The 38-year-old Melbourne native, who has built a "bulletproof rig" from trainers, nutritionists, plus his Centr app's team, posted a photo straight from the gym. Embracing his sweat session while pumping iron, Chris was seen dragging two heavy weighted chains towards his core, flexing his bulging biceps and grimacing as he did it.

Chris wore dark pants and a basic training tank - plenty of arm on show as the Hollywood hunk packed on even more muscle.

See The Photo Below

Also highlighting one very healthy-looking set of veins as he flaunted his low body-fat percentage, the actor took his caption, telling fans: "Six weeks out from shooting on Extraction 2 feelin good and ready. Shout out to my team at @centrfit for giving me all the tools I need for a bulletproof rig💪💪💪💪💪."

Over 4 million likes have been left, including one from Wonder Woman actress and fellow fitness enthusiast Gal Gadot. "Coming in overweight again I see," the leading reply amusingly reads. More after the snap.

Bodybuilding 'Seen As A Vanity'

Addressing piling on the muscle in April 2021 as he spoke to Men's Health, Hemsworth spoke of attitudes towards bodies - regardless of whether it's fit or not-so-fit.

"There's an aesthetic that the role requires. Bodybuilding is seen as vanity, whereas if I put on a bunch of unhealthy weight, or got unhealthily skinny for a role, I'd probably be called a serious actor," he said, adding: "The training across 10 years of doing it is a full-time job." More photos below.

A 'Real Grind'

The man behind character Tyler Rake continued: "That and then a 12-hour shooting day – it's real grind. It's incredibly rewarding, too – you have to look at it like a professional athlete."

No pain, no gain might be the attitude in the gym, but the massive pizza cheat days are there, too. A photo, seen below, showed Chris enjoying his calories like a pro last month as he wrote: "Just landed in LA and thought I'd kick things off with a super light healthy meal 💪💪."

Serena, showing off her muscle machine of a body, posed in a skin-tight and high-neck bodysuit with one leg of fabric and another going short shorts. The sleeveless look came jet black and with high gloves for a jazzy finish - meanwhile, silver-embellished thigh-high boots added even more pizzazz.

'Proud' To Be Her Mama

Serena, making pandemic headlines for admitting she "side-eyed" her daughter as she coughed, has been candid about motherhood amid a glittering sports career.

Macaulay Culkin Shared 'Cat Farting Rainbows' Photo On Instagram

Posted: 17 Nov 2021 02:44 PM PST

Macauley Culkin, big time pulling off the comeback kid vibe as he walks the runway for luxury brand Gucci, now has fans poking around his Instagram. The Home Alone star is all over the news after strutting around in a silky Hawaiian shirt and mustard-yellow pants on the Gucci Love Parade runway - the finish was a little scruffier in an Instagram post shouting out rainbows, cats, and - it would seem - farts.

Culkin, 41, played a kiddy and charitable card last year on IG. Check it out below.

Picture Brings A 'Lot Of Questions'

Scroll for the photo. It showed the former child star sitting cross-legged on a wooden floor and going surfer-come-PJs. Culkin was barefoot and in bright purple shorts, also sporting a basic white tee as he sat by a white dresser with a cartoon cat blowing out a toot painted on it - and it was a rainbow toot.

Holding up a sign while showing off a scruffy beard and messy hair, Macaulay held a sign saying: "LPT TV," also throwing out a unique code.

See The Photo Below

Taking to his caption, Culkin opened: "Hey dorks, You're probably asking yourself a lot of questions about this picture.

  1. Is that a cat farting rainbows on your cabinet?
  2. Is that a picture of your girlfriend where your face should be on that Pagemaster poster?
  3. Is that a tarantula in your aquarium? The answer to those are:
  4. Yes. I did it myself.
  5. Yup. She's only okay with it.
  6. Of course not, tarantulas don't live in aquariums, they live in terrariums, dumb-ss."

See more after the photo.

Not A Paid Ad

Continuing, the New Yorker added: "LPR is a small, independent venue based out of NYC that is close to my heart. It's a place that always has great bands, drinks, and art all year 'round. But like many small businesses they've been hit hard by our current times and are doing what they can to bring you awesome content despite our current climate."

He also promised that the post "isn't a paid advertisement or anything, I just love this place." Over 130,000 likes have been left.

Major Gucci Comeback

Macaulay, who once made headlines for going from child star to drug addict, is seemingly enjoying a major comeback over the age of 40, this as the Home Alone franchise picks up again without him.

The actor who became a household name aged 10 back in 1993, is now joining the slew of celebrities repping Gucci - alongside House of Gucci stars Salma Hayek and Lady Gaga, the label is being donned by the likes of Billie Eilish and promotional face Miley Cyrus.

Hailey Bieber standing in boots and polka-dot bikini bottoms while on a beach has big-time impressed her celebrity friends. The supermodel and wife to "Peaches" singer Justin Bieber is fresh from an Instagram update showing off her killer swimwear body, although there was a slight wintry vibe as she stood in a cozy fall sweater while flaunting her rear.

Hailey was shouting out Superga in a stunning and windswept beach shot, one showing off her gorgeous smile - the model figure wasn't hidden, though.

Hailey Bieber Stuns In Polka-Dot Bikini

Scroll for the shot, one gaining over 1.3 million likes in under 24 hours. Hailey, married to hubby Justin since 2018 and sparking pregnancy rumors at this year's Met Gala, posed shot from behind and turning around at just the right moment as she smiled. All hair blowing in the ocean breeze and standing on sandy shores, the YSL face killed it while in blue-and-white, polka-dot bikini briefs, also donning a striped sweater and white boots.

Those Celebrity Likes

Taking to her caption, Hailey wrote: "@superga_official @supergausa #Superga #SupergaLovers."

Quickly topping comments was TikTok star Addison Rae, who wrote: "YOUR BODY IS BEAUTIFUL." Supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, meanwhile, sent out a peach emoji and a heart-eye one, with Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin also dropping by to leave a like.

The post comes as Hailey makes headlines for fronting Victoria's Secret as the lingerie brand ups its revival game. Hailey had posed in undies six days ago to shout out the brand, with husband Justin leaving heart emoji.

On Marrying Justin Bieber At 21

2018 marked Canadian pop icon Justin announcing he has a "wife" after the two tied the knot in a low-key courthouse wedding. Nobody was expecting it, and Hailey has since opened up, telling Elle:

"We'd have conversations when we were younger, [and] we always knew if we ever do get back together, it will be with the intention of getting married." She added:

"We used to say that to each other and talk about that. I don't think it was that surprising for us. I don't know if I ever thought it would be that soon. I didn't think I'd be getting married at 21."

Babies...?

The model continued: "I always used to think in my head, 'Oh, if Justin and I ever get back together, we'll be a little bit older and it'll be later in life,' and God was like, 'Yeah, that's really funny because here's you at 21.'"

Hailey has, this fall, made headlines for shooting down Justin's plea to "squish out a nugget" - while he seemed keen to start a family in the next year, Hailey didn't seem too sure. Here's her Insta for the latest.

'World's Most Beautiful Girl' Thylane Blondeau Rocks Plunging Bralette For New Gig

Emily Ratajkowski Opens Up About The Cost Of Fame

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 12:57 PM PST

Emily Ratajkowski opened up about the cost of fame in a candid essay from her new book, _ My Body_. In the essay, titled "Transactions," the supermodel details a series of encounters with shady men and talks openly about the "indecent proposals" she faced at the beginning of her career.

An excerpt of the essay was published over the weekend by The Guardian, with Ratajkowski announcing the feature on social media.

"This essay chronicles my uncomfortably ambiguous transactions with wealthy men," she wrote on Instagram on Saturday, adding: "It also details the way I learned to withhold judgement [sic] of the women who take advantage of these kinds of interactions."

Details below.

Paid To Hang Out With Wealthy Men

Titled "Crooks, creeps and indecent proposals," the Guardian article aims to unravel the cost of fame for young models on their road to professional affirmation, as gleaned from Ratajkowski's personal experience. In the essay excerpt, the model, actor, entrepreneur and writer recounts a couple of episodes in which she was paid to hang out with wealthy men who -- as The Guardian puts it -- "were desperate to be seen with women like her."

Her tales describe being paid $25,000 to attend the 2014 Super Bowl with Jho Low, the Malaysian billionaire at the center of the 1MDB scandal, and introduce the reader to the dubious world of party promoters who "wrangle models" for the company of their clients.

"They always start the nights off with a big dinner, so that girls who aren't making much cash come for a free meal," Ratajkowski reveals in the essay, through the words of a fellow model.

‘Free’ Trip To Coachella

In another episode, Ratajkowski gives a disturbing account about being offered "a free trip to Coachella, including tickets to the festival, a place to stay and a ride out to the desert in a limo bus."

"Just the year before I'd driven there with my best friend and spent two nights sleeping in my Nissan with the seats laid flat, parked in a hotel lot. It had been fun, but now I could be in the VIP section and the front row at the concerts," she writes, adding: "The prospect made me feel grown up."

Ratajkowski held nothing back as she detailed being offered drugs and the lewd glances she and other models were given by men in their 40s who had invited them there.

"I could not sleep that night. I'd felt safer sleeping in my car in a crummy hotel parking lot," she wrote. "We'd been wrong. This was no free ride."

Clubbing With 40-Year-Old Men

Prior to the Coachella experience, Ratakjowki recounts being invited to clubs to party with older men "around the age of 40." At the time, she and the other models involved in the story were around 19 and 20.

"At the club, the men kept offering us cocaine, which they snorted with their backs to the dancefloor. They ordered bottles of alcohol that arrived with sparkling flames, grabbed our bodies and fed us shots, sang along to the music and pumped their fists in the air.  "

In her Instagram post about the Guardian article, the supermodel, who is now 30, also shared a few bikini snaps of herself taken by the modeling agency around that time, given below.

The essay also describes being eyed by a prince in a Jacuzzi while in her bikini, and asked: "What do you want to change about your body? Like, what's the thing you're hung up on?"

The Super Bowl Story

Returning to the Super Bowl story, Ratajkowski details how her services had been acquired for several hours during the game, as well as an afterparty she didn't know about.

"I asked when it would be OK to leave," she wrote, noting that her then-manager, who had accompanied her as a chaperone, wanted them to stay "a few more hours."

"I'd been reminded: I was not free to come and go as I liked. I was on the clock," she continued.

Wanting Male Validation

Elsewhere in the book, Ratajkowski does a candid introspection about wanting male validation and "the dangers of being desired," as reported by CNN Style.

"I wasn't just famous; I was famously sexy, which, in many ways, felt gratifying," she writes in an essay titled "Blurred Lines," after the Robin Thicke song and music video that propelled her to fame in 2013.

Speaking to CNN Style, Ratajkowski explains: "For me, this book was about talking about the moments where women can be very vulnerable, and the power dynamics that are often concealed. That's what I really would like to see: more of a conversation around those power dynamics."

Carving Out Control

My Body also details several instances of sexual assault throughout Ratajkowski's modeling career and speaks of the industry's unhealthy obsession with weight loss, detailing how she only started to get work after dropping 10 pounds in a week due to a bad bout of stomach flu.

"I've found ways to carve out control where I can, and that's been really helpful to me," the Inamorata Woman owner told CNN Style. "The industry really teaches you that you're replaceable, and that the less agreeable you are, the less likely you are to be hired. That felt very scary when I was a young model doing it for money. But the other thing is that I'm in a different position. Now, I'm not an unknown model."

Ratajkowski: 'I Am Complicit'

Throughout the book, Ratajkowski delves into the double-edged nature of capitalizing on her body and image, exploring both the feelings of empowerment and vulnerability that come with it.

"I mean, I am complicit," she explained. "But I also think it's a mistake to shame a young woman for wearing a tight dress because she wants to be noticed by someone powerful. I don't think that we should continue to criticize women for saying, 'This is how I can succeed and capitalize off of my image or my body.' That is an extension of the same misogyny I've seen so much in my life. We are all complicit."

Turpin Teen Details How She Saved Siblings From Abusive Parents

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 12:47 PM PST

David and Louise Turpin imprisoned and tortured their 13 children for years, until 2018, when authorities were able to arrest them and press charges.

Both were sentenced to life imprisonment with the possibility of parole after 25 years, with investigations revealing that their kids were kept in complete isolation from the outside world, severely beaten, chained, physically and sexually abused.

Jordan Turpin and Jennifer Turpin, two of David and Louise's children, recently sat down for an extensive interview with ABC News' Diane Sawyer -- and Jordan explained how she saved her brothers and sisters.

Jordan Turpin Speaks Out

On January 14, 2018, after careful planning, Jordan was able to escape her home and call 911.

Her 12 siblings remained at the house, where they were being held captive by their parents -- some of them were even chained.

"I was actually on the road," she explained to Sawyer, "because I didn't even know about the sidewalks."

"You're supposed to be on the sidewalk, but I'd never been out there," she said.

Jordan had no idea where she was, but the dispatcher was able to track her location from the GPS on her cell phone.

911 Call

"I just ran away from home. And we have abusing parents," is what Jordan told the dispatcher when they picked up.

Jordan then explained how she and her siblings are being abused.

"They hit us. They like to throw us across the room. They pull out our hair. They yank out our hair. My two little sisters right now are chained up," she told the dispatcher.

The call lasted for about 22 minutes, until a deputy arrived at Jordan's location. David and Louise were in handcuffs less than two hours after that.

Making The Call

When she escaped, Jordan was shaken up, confused, and scared for her life. She was barely able to talk.

"My whole body was shaking. I couldn't really dial 911... I think it was us coming so close to death so many times. If something happened to me, at least I died trying," Jordan told Sawyer, recalling how her parents abused her.

"Mother, she choked me. And I thought I was going to die," she said.

ABC's two-hour 20/20 special about the Turpin family airs November 19.

Turpin Children

According to The Sun, the Turpin children ranged from two to 29 years old when their parents were arrested.

Though Jordan and Jennifer are now sharing their stories with the public, other children have not done the same. Their whereabouts, age, and other information has not been released.

Adult Turpin siblings reportedly live in Southern California and are still adjusting to "traditional lifestyles after years of abuse and imprisonment at the hands of their parents."

"They're all happy. They are moving on with their lives," Riverside County Deputy District Attorney Kevin Beecham said last year.

Lisa Rinna Shares Amazing Photos After Mother's Tragic Passing

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 10:44 AM PST

Lisa Rinna has shared a stunning insight into her late mother's life, this as she continues to grieve losing her mom at the age of 93. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 58, has said goodbye to mother Lois after she suffered a stroke, with new photos on her Instagram keeping Lois' spirit alive. Lois passed away just days after being hospitalized for a stroke - she'd already suffered one in 2013.

Lisa's photos brought in massive fan support, plus touching words from Bravo co-stars.

Losing Mom Lois At 93

Scroll for the photos. "5:05am Heaven Has a New Angel 🦋😇🙏🏼 💗," Lisa wrote on social media to break the news as she posted a photo of Lois on her wedding day. The loss was also marked by 20-year-old daughter Amelia Hamlin, who wrote:

"My guardian angel for the rest of time," adding: "I love you so much my Lolo… you were and will always be much more than a grandma to me.. you were my best friend. My strength. My rock. My everything."

Sharing Old Photos

Following the wedding snap, Lisa shared footage of her mom at a dinner table on RHOBH. She said it was in "honor of the iconic Lois" who "loved being on the show and she loved being famous." The video, which has clocked over half a million views, brought in love from the cast - Sutton Stracke wrote that she had the "seat of honor" that night. Heart emoji were also left by Lisa's 2020-founded Rinna Beauty brand. More after the video.

'She Loved A Good Cocktail'

A new photo, seen below, was shared last night, one seemingly showing that Lisa is a chip off the old block. The former Melrose Place actress posted a photo of Lois with short hair and enjoying an alcoholic beverage, with a caption reading: "She loved a good cocktail. In a short glass. 🥃♥️ and she had the same hairdo for 75 years b-tches. 😇💔"

"Legend" came in from Bravo star Erika Jayne, with Lisa's close friend Kelly Ripa writing: "Godspeed dearest Lois."

Stroke News

Prior to losing her mother, Lisa shared video footage of Lois home-dancing much like Lisa herself does. A caption told fans:

"I know how much you appreciate and LOVE Lois so I need to tell you that she has had a stroke, I am with her now, So lets celebrate her and send her so much love while she transitions. I was so conflicted to share this very very sad news with you, but I know you would want to know. 💔🙏🏼"

Packers' Aaron Rodgers Admits To Getting Emotional In His Return To Lambeau

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:43 AM PST

Everybody's talked about the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers since the offseason, but not always for the best reasons.

The future Hall of Famer drew plenty of negative attention for his stand-off with the franchise and rift with GM Brian Gutekunst, reportedly trying to force his way out of the team.

Then, when things were finally going their way and nothing off the field was supposed to be a distraction, Rodgers tested positive for Covid-19, fueling controversy for lying to the press over his vaccination status.

Rodgers Says He Was 'Misty' In The Win Over Seattle

Rodgers said that he didn't know whether the fans at Lambeau Field will boo him after that incident.

So, when he finally got the chance to suit up again, he admitted to being a little 'misty' and emotional throughout the game:

"Good to be back with the guys, good to be back at home, good to be on the field, really," Rodgers told ESPN. "The most emotions from the whole night was probably walking off the field after the game. It definitely got me a little misty."

Rodgers Says He Won't Take The Game For Granted

There's been plenty of speculation regarding Rodgers' future, with some analysts believing that this will be his final year at Lambeau Field.

Rodgers was emotional in his return to the gridiron and claimed to reminisce on the great moments he's lived as a member of the Packers:

"It was good to feel those types of emotions and good to be back with the guys," Rodgers said. "I just don't take these things for granted, walking off the field as a winner. It's fun beating that squad. We've had some battles over the years. Just walking out with Preston [Smith], who I have so much love and appreciation for, and then hearing that type of response from the crowd -- it was a little extra special today."

Packers Have A 'Championship-Level Defense', Says Rodgers

The legendary quarterback lauded his team's effort after shutting down Russell Wilson for the first time in his career.

The Packers' defense continues to step up and get better by the week, limiting some of the most explosive offenses in the league:

"That was championship-level defense, for sure," Rodgers said, as quoted by Matt Schneidman of The Athletic. "I mean, the last three games, playing against three stud quarterbacks, holding Arizona to 21, Pat and the Chiefs to 13 and then shutting out Russell and the Seahawks tonight, it's an amazing three-game stretch. So I'm really, really happy for Joe and his staff. He's got a great staff, they do a great job and there (are) guys within that scheme who are glue who've been really, really important to the success."

The Kings In The North

Now, the Packers continue to march in sole possession of the first spot in the NFC North.

They'll head to Minneapolis next weekend for a divisional clash against Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings looking to widen the gap between them and the rest of the division.

Even if they didn't land Odell Beckham Jr. as expected, that defensive unit plus Aaron Rodgers behind center make the Packers the team to beat out of the NFC. It's Super Bowl or bust at Lambeau.

Patriots Rumors: 'Mac Jones Is Better Than Tom Brady,' Says Former NFL Star

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:40 AM PST

It didn't take long before Bill Belichick found his guy.

Just a year fresh off Tom Brady's departure, the New England Patriots drafted Mac Jones out of Alabama and, thus far, he looks tailor-made for the franchise.

Jones won the starting job over Cam Newton even before the start of the season. His work ethic and constant improvement have made him a fan favorite already, and he's getting better and more comfortable by the week:

"I think just practice, doing the little things right," Jones told Boston.com.

Mac Jones' Fans

Jones has turned a lot of heads during the first 10 weeks of his NFL career.

Even Julian Edelman - one of Brady's best teammates and closest friends - had to give him his flowers after watching him dominate the Cleveland Browns:

"The kid is dealing," tweeted the Pats legend.

Jones was, in fact, dealing. He threw for 198 yards and 3 touchdowns and completed 19 of his 23 passes (82.6%), leading the Patriots to a 24-7 lead at after just two quarters.

Better Than Brady

Unsurprisingly, that led to plenty of reactions around social media.

In fact, former NFL player Ryan Clark went as far as to say that Jones has proven to be better than Tom Brady was when he took over the starting spot:

"[Mac Jones] is as good as Tom Brady, or probably better than Tom Brady was, when he became the QB of the New England Patriots," Clark said on Get Up ESPN. "And the team around him is playing well right now, too. We're seeing a team that can mess around and go to the Super Bowl like I said, and it's all because of the way this dude is playing."

Jones Leads All Rookie QBs

While it's still way too early to tell how his career will fare and whether he'll be as good as Brady, Jones has been the best rookie QB this year and it's not even close.

His season stats of 2,333 yards, 13 touchdowns, 7 interceptions, and 69% completion percentage may not seem that impressive to the naked eye.

However, he's getting more comfortable as the weeks go by and his numbers are trending up at an alarming rate for the rest of the league.

Don't Sleep On The Patriots

The Patriots are now riding a 4-game winning streak and sit at a 6-4 record, trailing the Buffalo Bills by just half a game for the top spot in the AFC East.

Their defense is playing at a championship level again and their offense is starting to get more fluent and comfortable.

It's a long shot and they still need to get past the Bills twice to think about winning their division. But if someone knows what it takes to do it, that's Bill Belichick.

Johnny Depp Could Lose Jack Sparrow Role for Future 'Pirates of the Caribbean' Films

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:36 AM PST

Johnny Depp's ongoing drama with ex-wife Amber Heard, who accused him of abuse following a brief but troubled marriage years ago, could cost him his role in Pirates of the Caribbean.

Following the first five films of the fantasy series, including Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales, fans are wondering what season six will hold for Depp.

Sixth Film

In an interview with Collider in May 2020, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who worked on all five of the series' films, admitted that when it comes to the sixth installment of the popular franchise, there are still lingering questions about a number of issues.

"We're working on a draft right now and hopefully we'll get it shortly and give it to Disney and hopefully they'll like it," Bruckheimer said of the future film. "We don't know. We've been working on it for a little bit."

Not Yet Confirmed for 'POTC 6'

As for Depp's potential future with the film franchise, Bruckheimer didn't have any solid information to share, which seems to hint that he is not yet tied to the upcoming movie.

"The one we're developing right now, we're not sure quite what Johnny's role is going to be," he said. "So, we're going to have to see."

Because of Depp's past involvement in the films, it seems unlikely that he wouldn't yet be tied to the new film, although they likely are in the pre-production phase.

Abusive Claims

According to a report from Inside the Magic, Depp has continued to be locked in a bitter battle, with outrageous accusations, with his former spouse, actress Amber Heard. And, because of the claims of violence against him, Disney may want to distance themselves from the actor and remove him from all future installments of their kid-friendly Pirates of the Caribbean films.

As the outlet also noted, however, Depp has not officially been found guilty of any of Heard's claims against him.

'POTC' Spinoff in the Works

In addition to having not yet been tied to the upcoming sixth film of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, Depp also does not seem to have any role in the series' future spinoff.

In June of last year, The Hollywood Reporter revealed that Margot Robbie was set to star in a female-fronted film written by Birds of Prey writer Christina Hodson.

The outlet also confirmed that Pirates of the Caribbean producer Jerry Bruckheimer would be working alongside Hodson on the new film.

Eagles News: Jalen Hurts Finally Thriving Thanks To Key Adjustment

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:30 AM PST

Just a couple of weeks ago, several NFL insiders talked about how Jalen Hurts wasn't the right guy to lead the Philadelphia Eagles' franchise to success.

Most mock drafts had the Eagles trading up in the first round to get a new franchise quarterback, with Pittsburgh's Kenny Pickett and UNC's Sam Howell as the two most likely candidates.

Fast-forward to today, and the second-year pro out of Oklahoma may have turned that narrative around, finally showing glimpses of the star QB he can be.

Helping Hurts

Head Coach Nick Sirianni deserves a lot of credit for Hurts' recent breakout.

He finally realized that he needed to rely on his running game to open up more space for Hurt's dual-threat skill set.

The Eagles have totaled 626 rushing yards over their past three games, winning two out of three for the first time in Siriannis' tenure:

"We just want to do what we think is best for us to win each football game and that always starts with what you think you do well first," Sirianni told the media, per The Score."And then it goes into the team's scheme that you're playing and their players. We've known we've had a good offensive line the whole time. We've always wanted to get the run game going to help Jalen (Hurts) be more successful as a quarterback, because that takes some of the pressure off him."

Hurts' Development

The head coach had a lot of praise for Hurts and how he led their offense in the Eagles' 30-13 win over the Broncos. He was poised, comfortable, and turned several broken plays into big gains:

"He just gets better every day," Sirianni said, as quoted by Bleeding Green Nation. "He truly exemplifies the getting one percent better every day. Getting a little bit better every day, and he just continues to get better. So, he just did some really good things in that game."

Finally Blossoming

Hurts had the best half of his young career in the NFL and was confident and in control from start to finish.

Overall, the second-year pro finished the game with 16 completions on 23 attempts, 178 yards passing, two touchdowns, and one interception. He added 14 rushes for 53 yards, including a huge 31-yard gain.

While those numbers aren't exactly impressive, it's the way he's handled himself and read opposing defenses makes people believe that he might turn out well after all.

Don't Count The Eagles Out

The Eagles are currently sitting at a mediocre 4-6 record but they're far from done.

They trail the Carolina Panthers (5-5) by just one game for the third Wild Card spot in the NFC, and they've already beaten them this season.

Moreover, the Eagles have the easiest remaining schedule in the NFC.

They're slated to face the Saints, Giants (x2), Jets, Washington Football Team (x2), and Cowboys; so it's still way too early to count them out of the postseason.

Maybe, a playoff berth is just what Hurts needs to silence his doubters once and for all.

Kyle Rittenhouse Trial: Judge Tells Jury To 'Disregard' Trump And Biden's Opinions

Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:28 AM PST

Kyle Rittenhouse wounded one and killed two people in Kenosha, Wisconsin, in the summer of 2020 and is currently on trial. He claims to have acted in self defense.

The trial has polarized the nation along partisan lines, with liberals condemning Rittenhouse and calling him a white supremacist, and conservatives defending his actions.

Former President Donald Trump and his successor, Democrat Joe Biden, have both weighed in on the case.

The jury, which began deliberations on Tuesday morning, was told to disregard their opinions.

Judge Schroeder

Before dismissing the jurors, Judge Bruce Schroeder explicitly told them that they must "disregard the claims or opinions of any other person or news media or social networking site."

"You will pay no heed to the opinions of anyone, even the president of the United States, or the president before him," Schroeder stressed, as reported by The Independent.

Schroeder's apparent attempts to depoliticize the trial come amid intense criticism that he is biased in Rittenhouse's favor and antagonistic toward the prosecutors.

Biden On Rittenhouse

Biden never explicitly called Rittenhouse a white supremacist, but in September 2020 he posted a video clip to social media that showed Rittenhouse carrying the AR-15 rifle he used to kill two and wound one person.

"There's no other way to put it: the President of the United States refused to disavow white supremacists on the debate stage last night," Biden tweeted alongside the video.

Biden's comments resurfaced last week, when the shooter's mother Wendy Rittenhouse said that the Democrat doesn't "know my son," who is "not a white supremacist."

Trump On Rittenhouse

Trump, on the other hand, stated on several occasions that Rittenhouse acted in self defense.

"You saw the same tape as I saw, and he was trying to get away from them. I guess it looks like and he fell and then they very violently attacked him and it was something we're looking at right now and it's under investigation," he said at a press conference in August 2020.

"I guess he was in very big trouble. He probably would have been killed. But it's under investigation," the Republican added.

Kyle Rittenhouse Verdict

The jurors might make their decision as early as today, and some legal experts believe Rittenhouse is all but certain to be declared not guilty.

In a column for the Chicago Sun Times, Mark Brown wrote that he would be "shocked if he's convicted of anything more than a weapons charge."

"If I were a member of that jury, I expect I would reluctantly vote to acquit Rittenhouse of the most serious homicide charges based on the evidence that he was acting in self-defense," Brown wrote.
