| Anna Kendrick’s Has Been Low-key Dating Bill Hader Posted: 21 Jan 2022 06:07 PM PST When Bill Hader and Anna Kendrick teamed up for Noelle in 2019, no one thought the Disney + movie would breed a real-life romance. According to an anonymous source speaking to PEOPLE mag, the pair became a couple a year after the movie and had been going strong since then. Here's everything we know from the source's mouth. The Alleged Relationship  Although the actors were friends long before the Disney + Christmas film, they didn't form a relationship until sometime in 2020. The source said, "Anna has been dating Bill quietly for over a year… they're both private people, and with the pandemic, it was easy to keep it quiet." Although PEOPLE reached out to their representatives for confirmations, they declined to respond. It's no surprise there since the source alleged that they love their privacy – that bit must be true if we haven't heard of this relationship until now. Former Relationships  A little over a year ago (the alleged length of Anna and Bill's romance), Bill Hader, 43, broke up with his then-girlfriend Rachel Bilson, 40. He and Rachel dated seven years after appearing in the rom-com The To-Do List in 2013. At the time of the movie, Bill and Maggie Carey were still married. Anna, who's never been married, doesn't believe in the romantic concept of "The One." She once said her film Love Life accurately depicted her romantic life. The Pitch Perfect actress said, "People come into your life and grow, and they change you, and what you learn from them might be really positive, or it might be negative." How Do They Feel About Each Other? While doing the press runs for Noelle, Anna and Bill, who played siblings, gushed about each other's performance. "Anna's been amazing. She's a great performer. She's just such a strong performer, and that's always great because it raises your game, you know what I mean," Bill said. Anna also said, "Bill Hader and I play brother and sister. Santa's out dad, and Nick, played by Bill, is next in line…." She also reminisced on the day Bill's children joined them on set, "that was so magical to see them, like skate everywhere. I was just like, 'this is - it's magic!'" What Are They Doing Now?  Since the news broke that Anna and Bill were hiding a year-plus-old relationship, the couple has remained quiet. It's not as if they often blabbed to the media anyways, so unless wedding bells toll, we might never confirm the integrity of PEOPLE's source. Even then, there's no guarantee that the couple would let us in on their special day (if it ever comes.) Anyways, fingers crossed. ]]> |
| Arabella Chi Is ‘In Her Element’ In Bikini Posted: 21 Jan 2022 05:11 PM PST Love Island alum Arabella Chi turns up the heat in her latest Instagram post. The 30-year-old model sunbaths on a lunge seat in Mexico as she flaunts her board-flat abs in a two-piece black bikini. The bathing suit had gold link chains on the straps adding flare to the nameplate necklace she wore. Ari posed in multiple positions showing fans that every angle is her best side. Check out the sexy snaps below. In Her Element  Arabella arches her back in a dangerously sexy pose as she lounges on a white pool seat. Her high-waist pant highlights her curves with a slight crease in her pelvic region. She wears dark sunshades to complete the "Hollywood wife" aesthetic. She holds her bleached blonde hair in a ponytail flaunting a hairless armpit and elbow tattoo in the next post. She also serves face as she slightly parts her lips, adding extra pizzazz to the already sizzling picture. She angles her head to the right in another slide, showing off a slender neck. Beach Bum In Mexico  Arabella has had a very exciting week in Cancún, and she's shared every moment with her faithful followers. The model had so much fun flaunting her bikini body in Mexico she called the location "paradise." First, she captioned a pose "Tropical Paradise," then another "Waking up another day in paradise." On one of her days out, Arabella welcomed a special friend Kady McDermott (another Love Island alum). Therapy Advice  "Yoga with a view is the best kind of therapy," says Arabella Chi in an ad for Super Dry. The model posted up in a black and white patterned yoga legging and bra top set. The two-piece outfit had red bands with the brand's name written around multiply. Her stunning physique caused some chatter online, but not for its super-toned look. Fans addressed the photoshop Arabella used to enlarge her bum. If you zoom in on her butt, you'll notice a slight curve on the wall behind the model. The curve isn't present in the cover photo, confirming speculations of photo enhancement. Back To Business  Arabella works under Elite Models' management, booking gigs while keeping her personal life below the radar. She's modeled for BooHooMan London, FashionNova, PrettyLittleThing, I Saw It First, Nova Intimates, and many more brands. Although there aren't yet any household names, the partnership with Elite models may catapult her to mainstream success in her repertoire. She has the goods, it's just a question of making the right connections, and we may very well have the next Top Model on our hands. ]]> |

| Kendall Jenner Braves The Cold In Bikini Posted: 21 Jan 2022 04:11 PM PST Every time a picture of Kendall Jenner pops up on our screens, we do absolutely nothing but stare in sheer admiration of her flawless beauty and impeccable figure. It's a fact that we're envious of all her perfect features. With her 214 million Instagram followers and counting, nodding in agreement, we're here to tell you that there's nothing Kendall Jenner can't do, and she proved that in her recent bikini post. Body To Die For Be it in a dress, a bikini, or keeping it chic and casual in a pair of jeans, Kendall's body understands the assignment and delivers excellently in every situation. Thumbs up to her healthy diet, workout routines, and good genes. The 818 founder has a good love affair with Underwear and Bikinis too. From taking over the world in two pieces city by city with Victoria's Secret and making Valentine's Day a Jenner affair by posing for sister Kim Kardashian Underwear line SKIMS. Kendall's body has passed the vibe check. That's why she chose to wear a scanty-clad black bikini and big furry boots in the freezing snow. Heating Up A Cold Winter  Kendall Jenner keeps it hot on a snowy day in a new Instagram picture captioned "Wim Hof said ice baths" The world-class supermodel defied the weather and served us this epic look that deserves a superhero badge for achieving this new feat. The Instagram influencer keeps it simple, classy, and edgy in a black barely-there two-piece while flaunting her flawless mid-section and adorning her feet in big furry knee-high boots. She completes the look with bold black shades and a fierce pose. Show Stopper  In the second slide, the brunette beauty goes in for a run. A seemingly excited Kendall flaunted her pearly whites while leaving deep footprints from her huge boots in the snow. She holds the side of her bikini top for support. We don't want any wardrobe malfunction either. The reality TV star gives us a closer look at her big boots. The grey and black furry beauty is the cynosure of all eyes in this picture. Her firm derriere made an appearance too. Kudos to Kendall Jenner for putting in the hours. They've sure paid off. Jenner has shown that even a Snow Storm won't stop her from doing what she knows how to do best- Looking good and having loads of fun. Concerned Fans  While we're grateful for the beauty that's Kendall Jenner, her wardrobe choice in less than 0 degrees is concerning. Fans didn't hold criticism as they praised the Victoria's Secret model. The consensus in the comment section speculated that the model chose that outfit for the gram and hoped she covered up immediately after the video. ]]> |
| Megan Thee Stallion Promotes ‘Lick’ In Bikini Posted: 21 Jan 2022 03:56 PM PST Megan Thee Stallion released new music with Jamaican rapper Shenseea this Friday, and the visual is colorful. Think WAP ft. Cardi B part II, and you have Lick down to a tee. Before dropping the video on Shenseea's YouTube Channel, the Houston hottie took to her Instagram to promote the song. Artists typically drop teasers and looks to build anticipation for their debut day, and Megan's two-toned bikini sent the message. Pop Of Color  The 5' 10" Texas native wore a two-toned orange and pink bikini-like one-piece. The swimsuit not only mixes color but styles as well. The orange side has two wide straps, one on the sleeve across her chest while the other joins the orange panty to the pink bra's underwire. On the pink side, the bands are thin, and the bra strap is straight. She accessorizes with an orange block heel, bold orange forefinger ring, black sunshades, and a belly ring. She styles her black weave in a bang, with body waves reaching below her bum. Cover Art Teaser  We could tell that "Lick" was definitely not a kid's song from the cover art. Neither is it for modest adults to be fair, Meg and Shenyeng's suggestive poses told us everything we needed to know about the song. The "real hot girl" and her co-lead wore bright-colored swimsuits, bent on all fours, and stuck out their tongues. Lick Video  NOT FOR KIDS! R18! Putting that out there for the little ones before saying the "LICK" video is raunchy. Although it's colorful, the theme is wrought with sexual innuendos, just like the title, which refers to cunning Lingus. According to a Shenseea tweet, the rapper "always wanted to write a suck p*ssy song…" because "some of y'all need guidance on how to eat." And boy, did they school fans with the explicit lyrics. More than the lyrics, Meg and Shenseea's dancing in the video mimicked sexual positions just like WAP. It's had to ignore the Parallels in the two videos. Criticism From Fans While some fans are grateful for new music from the Hot Girl Coach, many music enthusiasts complained about the song and the visuals. Shenseea and Megan blew up because of their lyrically genius freestyling on radio shows, so seeing them water down their talent for TikTok style music upsets many of their supporters. Some people also complain that Megan's style is monotonous, and they need something fresh from the rapper. The Grammy-award winner is, however unphased in the face of criticism. ]]> |
| Sixers' Joel Embiid Says He Could Play Like Shaq, Dirk, Kobe Or MJ Whenever He Likes Posted: 21 Jan 2022 02:54 PM PST Despite not having Ben Simmons on the court, the Philadelphia 76ers still continue to make a huge noise in the 2021-22 NBA season, thanks to the face of the franchise, Joel Embiid. Embiid is currently establishing an MVP-caliber performance this season, averaging 28.0 points, 10.6 rebounds, 4.2 assists, 1.4 blocks, and 1.1 steals while shooting 49.4 percent from the field and 37.5 percent from beyond the arc, per ESPN. Recently, Embiid dropped a new career-high in points (50) to help the Sixers obtain a 123-110 victory over the Orlando Magic at Wells Fargo Center Philadelphia. Joel Embiid Compared Himself To GOATs  In a post-game interview, Sixers point guard Tyrese Maxey shared an interesting conversation between him and Embiid before they faced the Magic. Maxey said he was messing with Embiid, asking him if he would be Shaquille O'Neal or Dirk Nowitzki against the Magic. Embiid told Maxey that he was just going to be himself. Embiid explained his answer to reporters and added that he could be O'Neal and Dirk, and even Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan whenever he wants. "I said me because at times whenever I want, I'm able to be Shaq," Embiid said, as quoted by Rich Hofmann of The Athletic, via Twitter. "And whenever I want, I'm also able to be Dirk or Kobe or MJ, guards really. Shooting off the dribble, pull-ups or ball-handling, just a combination of everything offensively." Joel Embiid Ain't Joking Embiid is indeed capable of playing like O'Neal, Nowitzki, Bryant, and Jordan. Like O'Neal, Embiid is also a monster shot-blocker and a dominant force under the basket. While he's not as deadly, he could also efficiently knock down shots from beyond the arc like Nowitzki. His position may be different than Bryant and Jordan, but there are things that those legendary guards did during their NBA days that Embiid can do right now. On Twitter, Embiid's shooting coach, Drew Hanlen, showed how studying Bryant and Jordan paid off for Embiid. Comparison To Other Legendary Big Men  Aside from the four legendary players that he mentioned, Embiid is also drawing comparisons to other NBA greats. In an interview with reporters, Sixers head coach Doc Rivers likened Embiid to Hakeem Olajuwon and Kevin Garnett. "He's a little bit Olajuwon and a little bit Garnett - that's a heck of a combination," Rivers said, via Tom Moore of USA Today, via Twitter. "I said it before that I knew he was good when I got here but I didn't know he could do all this." Joel Embiid's Stellar Performance Effect On Ben Simmons Saga  Before the season started, Sixers president of basketball operations Daryl Morey has told everyone in the league that they would only trade Simmons for a package that includes All-Star caliber player in return. Some of the names that popped up as their rumored trade targets include Damian Lillard of the Portland Trail Blazers and Bradley Beal of the Washington Wizards. However, with Embiid's incredible performance, Morey said in a recent appearance on 97.5 The Fanatic that they decided to expand the list of names of their potential trade targets for Simmons. Still, Morey believes that "it's less likely than likely" that a Simmons deal would be completed before the 2022 NBA trade deadline ]]> |
| Olympian Nastia Liukin Flaunts Amazing Legs On Instagram Posted: 21 Jan 2022 02:33 PM PST Olympic gymnast Nastia Liukin is showcasing her toned legs in a new Instagram share, and she's getting a ton of thumbs-up for it. The 32-year-old five-time Olympic medalist was all pretty in pink in a matching set ahead of the weekend, posting for her 1.1 million followers and showcasing her endlessly-long pins, plus her fashion sense. Nastia made sure to remind fans that she's still super-fit despite a 2012 retirement, and you can check out how she stays in shape, plus the photos, below. Stuns In Pink Workout Look  Going selfie mode, Nastia snapped herself on wooden floors and backed by printed wallpapers. The 2008 all-around champion wore tight pink shorts to match a long-sleeved top, also matching her whole getup with sneakers. She folded one leg and showcased her toned muscles, with the trio of shots also seeing her rocking her newly-dark locks - Nastia tends to go with a blonde finish. See More Photos Below A caption from Liukin announced plans as she hits up Dublin next week, although eyes seemed to be on the figure, with fellow gymnast McKalya Maroney even leaving a "hot" comment. Nastia, meanwhile, has opened up on her workouts, revealing it's a varied deal post-retirement. "I love boxing with my trainer. I love barre classes and hot yoga. I love Pilates. That really elongates you, but it’s also important to do some kind of cardio and now that the weather’s nice I love running along the West Side. It’s a beautiful view. I take spinning classes, too," she told The Cut. Revealing Her Diet  Nastia, whose mother told her to "have a cookie" when she wants one, further revealed how she nourishes herself, continuing: "I like to eat something very small beforehand, whether it’s a banana or a piece of fruit, and I have coffee. It was the same when I was in gymnastics. After my workout I’ll have a bigger breakfast, like an omelet" - one packed with veggies including tomatoes and spinach. #Protein Much like fellow protein guzzler Simone Biles, Liukin ensures her muscles are maintained by the protein she consumes. The APL collaborator said: "Making sure to get enough protein in is extremely important for me to this day. It keeps you full longer." Nastia made 2020 headlines as fans bashed her weight in a high-profile anorexia storm, one coming with a giant clap-back as the gymnast defended her weight. Follow her Insta for more. ]]> |
| Simone Biles Shows Off Tongue Flick In Bikini Posted: 21 Jan 2022 02:27 PM PST Simone Biles has been showcasing more than just her gymnast skill-set. The 24-year-old Olympic athlete was all cute in a tiny bikini back in 2021, posting for her army of Instagram followers and enjoying some downtime, also going cheeky with a tongue-flick. Biles updated back in August 2021, with the photo now sitting at over 1.2 million likes. See why fans are digging it below. Super-Cute In Skimpy Bikini  Scroll for the shot. Simone, who has joked that the secret to a "bikini body" is to "put a bikini on your body," was definitely proving that serious isn't her game. The Athleta spokesperson had posed on a luxurious outdoor terrace and amid slabs of concrete, also popping against them as she flaunted her ripped frame. Fans saw the Gold Medal winner in a pastel and tie-dye bikini with cute string ties - a low neckline here showcased a little cleavage, but just as much muscle as Simone showed off her pecs. She wore her hair in long loose braids, throwing out a tongue flick. More after the snap. See More Photos Below Taking to her caption, the Ohio native wrote: "Sweet like candy" with a candy emoji. The post also offered swipe options, with fans seeing more snaps in the same setting. Comments-wise, plenty came in over the cute pool look, and plenty more over the shredded body. Secret To Her Gymnast Body  Simone has detailed her diet and workout routines, ones governed by her career but definitely not restricting her. The spaghetti lover outlined her nutrition to Women's Health, saying: "I wake up so early before practice, which is at seven, so sometimes I'll grab a quick bite and sometimes I won't." "On the weekends, I'll have some protein waffles with chocolate chips, some eggs, or even make cinnamon rolls. Because I might not have to be at the gym, I can actually take the time to make breakfast," she continued. Orders Uber Eats Simone last year made headlines for being the new celebrity face of delivery service Uber Eats. She also mentioned the brand as she admitted ordering plenty of takeout. What She Orders Admitting a love of pepperoni pizza, she stated: "I feel like it's more manageable because I can get home, shower, and go on the app to order whatever I want with the click of a button. If I cook, though, it's usually pasta, or chicken or salmon in the air fryer, oven, or on the grill." ]]> |

| No Charges Filed In Custody Death Of Cedric Lofton Posted: 21 Jan 2022 02:06 PM PST In September last year, 17-year-old Cedric Lofton was arrested in Wichita, Kansas after "exhibiting erratic and aggressive behavior" toward his foster family. After arresting Lofton, the police took him to a county juvenile center. However, the teen refused to follow the orders of correctional staff and fought with them. Staff then placed shackles on Lofton's ankles, handcuffed his wrists behind his back, and rolled him onto his abdomen. The teen calmed down after this, and made "snoring sounds," according to an autopsy report from the Sedgwick County Regional Forensic Science Center. No Criminal Charges A few minutes after handcuffing Lofton, staff members checked for his pulse -- they could not find one. The teenager was pronounced dead two days later. But Sedgwick County District Attorney Marc Bennett announced this week that no criminal charges will be filed in this case, as reported by The New York Times. The decision shocked the entire community, especially Lofton's biological family, which has vowed to pursue legal action. But how did Bennett explain his decision not to file charges? Stand Your Ground Law  Bennet wrote in his report that Kansas' stand your ground law law prevents his office from filing criminal charges over Lofton's death in custody. The employees of the juvenile detention center Lofton died in, Bennet wrote, "acted in self-defense under Kansas law." The state's law, he argued, makes them "immune from prosecution" in this case. "This is not a reflection of this office's approval of what happened to Cedric Lofton on September 24, 2021. This should never have happened," the Sedgwick County district attorney concluded in his report. Homicide  Medical examiner Dr. Timothy S. Gorrill ruled Lofton's death a homicide last month. "In my opinion, Cedric Lofton died as a result of complications of cardiopulmonary arrest sustained after physical struggle while restrained in the prone position," he wrote. Nonetheless, according to Bennet, this does not mean criminal charges can be brought. "Whether or not criminal charges can be brought is a separate, legal determination to be made by the Office of the District Attorney based on the laws of the State of Kansas and the evidence collected by law enforcement," Bennet said. Family Devastated Lofton's biological parents and older brother are absolutely devastated, according to lawyer Andrew Stroth who represents them. According to Stroth, Bennet's arguments are weak being that Lofton was unarmed, weighed just 135 and posed no threat to correctional staff. "The idea of a stand-your-ground defense or immunity makes absolutely no sense based on the facts in this case," Stroth said. "Family and the community and stakeholders in the community are going to continue to fight for justice for Cedric. They're going to continue to fight to make sure people are held accountable for this unjustified killing of an unarmed 17-year-old," he added. Find more of the latest news here. ]]> |
