Why Taylor Swift's fans think she's shading Kim Kardashian, Kanye West with new album

Taylor Swift made history at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 28, when "All Too Well: The Short Film" won video of the year, making her the first artist to snag the awards show's top honor three times. But fans think the singer had a different kind of history in mind when she announced in her acceptance speech that she's dropping a surprise album, "Midnights," on Oct. 21 — which happens to be Kim Kardashian's birthday. Though she didn't mention Kim — or the fact that her latest video of the year title comes 13 years after Kim's ex, Kanye West, interrupted Taylor's best female video win — fans are now theorizing that the release date is an intentional bit of Kim shade. (Some backstory: In 2016, Kim leaked a secretly recorded phone call in which Taylor seems to OK Kanye's use of the lyric, "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous" in his track "Famous." Taylor has since said she didn't know she'd be referred to as "that b****" in the song, while Kim's leak sparked a long feud with Taylor, one the singer referenced on her 2017 album, "Reputation.") Speaking to the VMAs audience after her biggest win of the night on Sunday, Taylor said: "I had sort of made up my mind that, if you were going to be this generous and give us this, I thought it might be a fun moment to tell you that my brand-new album comes out Oct. 21." She then promised to share more details "at midnight," which she did an hour later on social media. Those details included a 13-song track list, with songs listed only as "Track 1, Track 2" and so on, that fans quickly identified as another Kimye feud reference, given the 13-year anniversary of Kanye's VMA stunt. "Can't believe 13 years after the vma incident taylor is announcing the release of Karma on kim kardashians bday," on person tweeted. "It's been 13 years since THAT Kanye-Taylor moment at the VMAs," posted another fan, "and now Taylor decides to announce her brand new album with 13 tracks at the VMAs today that will be released on October 21st which also happens to be Kim K's birthday. HER MINDDDDD!!!" According to Taylor's post, the new album was inspired by "stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life."

Amber Heard's sister calls MTV 'disgusting' for featuring Johnny Depp in 2022 VMAs

Amber Heard's sister lashed out against MTV after the network incorporated Johnny Depp into the 2022 Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 29, in the wake of his June defamation trial victory over Amber. The broadcast featured Johnny's face edited onto the helmet of a floating astronaut, a la the awards show's "Moon Person" trophies. "And you know what?" Johnny told the audience in a voiceover. "I needed the work." During the trial — which featured Amber's tearful testimony about the domestic abuse she allegedly suffered while married to the actor — Johnny's legal team argued he'd lost millions of dollars in work as a result of an op-ed Amber wrote about having survived domestic abuse. She did not name him in the piece, but he was awarded more than $10 million in damages, while Amber won only $2 million in her defamation countersuit. After spotting Johnny's cameo on the VMAs, Amber's sister, Whitney Henriquez, posted "I stand with Amber Heard" on her Instagram Stories, according to People. "@MTV you're disgusting and clearly desperate!" she wrote. "I really hope that none of the people that made this call have daughters…." Johnny has long maintained his innocence in Amber's abuse claims.

Jennifer Lopez says Ben Affleck wedding serenade video was 'stolen without our consent'

Jennifer Lopez says a video that shows her serenading Ben Affleck at their wedding was "stolen" and "sold" before it popped up on TMZ last week. The singer reportedly responded after spotting the clip on an Instagram fan account. "This was taken without permission. Period. And whoever did it took advantage of our private moment," Jennifer told @jlow0rld in a comment the fan site shared after taking the video down. "I don't know where you all are getting it from bc we had NDAs and asked everyone to not share anything from our wedding. That is our choice to share. Anything I put out private is OnTheJLO and it's to share w my fans. Which I will do when I am ready to," the star continued, referencing her newsletter. "This was stolen without our consent and sold for money. Thank you for caring I love you guys." The clip showed the bride performing a new love song — complete with backup dancers — for her groom at their weekend wedding celebration outside Savannah, Georgia, on Aug. 20. At one point in the clip, she invites the audience to join her for the refrain, "can't get enough." The Georgia festivities followed the couple's announcement last month that they'd snuck off to Las Vegas to elope, 20 years after they first got engaged while dating in 2002. They ended up calling off that wedding and each married other people before reuniting and falling back in love last year.

Kylie Jenner reveals she cried 'non-stop' for weeks after son's birth

The upcoming second season of Hulu's "The Kardashians" will include a focus on Kylie Jenner's postpartum depression after the birth of her second child with partner Travis Scott. In a new teaser for the series, Kylie confides to her sister Kendall Jenner that she's been emotionally devastated since welcoming her son. "I should be really happy right now, I just had this new baby," Kylie says in the clip. "But I cried non-stop for like three weeks." Kylie and Travis, who have yet to go public with their son's updated name, welcomed him in early February. A few months later, Kylie addressed her postpartum struggle on Instagram, telling followers she was having a worse time after baby No. 2 than she did following Stormi's birth. "I just want to say to my postpartum moms that postpartum has not been easy. It's not been easy, it's very hard," she shared in June. "This experience for me, personally, has been a little harder than with my daughter." "The Kardashians" returns to Hulu for Season 2 on Sept. 22.

Duchess Meghan talks forgiveness after royal family rift, racist press coverage

In a new cover story for The Cut, Duchess Meghan opens up about how she and Prince Harry have been negatively affected by the British press, particularly tabloid publications whose readers she says have used racial slurs in reference to her children. Meghan, who is biracial, explains that when her son, Archie, was born she was expected to share photos of him with a British press pool called the Royal Rota. "There's literally a structure," she says of life as a senior royal, prior to her and Harry's decision to step down from their roles and relocate to California. "Why would I give the very people that are calling my children the N-word a photo of my child before I can share it with the people that love my child?" she asks. "You tell me how that makes sense and then I'll play that game." The Duchess of Sussex also reflects on how press coverage of the couple has added strain to already tense family relationships, including Meghan's relationship with her father, Thomas Markle, after Associated Newspapers Limited published excerpts of a private letter she wrote to him. "Harry said to me, 'I lost my dad in this process,'" Meghan recalls, adding, "It doesn't have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that's his decision." As Meghan and Harry told Oprah Winfrey in a televised interview in 2020, negative comments about Meghan's race weren't just coming from the tabloids. In that interview, the couple alleged that during Meghan's pregnancy with Archie, a member of the royal family expressed concern about what color their children's skin would be. As for whether there's "room" for forgiveness when it comes to Harry's family? "I think forgiveness is really important. It takes a lot more energy to not forgive," Meghan says. "But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I've really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can say anything."

Britney Spears' mom responds to singer's conservatorship abuse allegations

Britney Spears' mother, Lynne Spears, posted a plea to meet with her daughter "in private" after the singer's latest allegations about the conservatorship she was under for 13 years. In a Sunday, Aug. 28, post she's since deleted from YouTube, Britney shared a 22-minute voice memo in which she said she believes the conservatorship was pre-meditated by her parents. In the clip, Britney said that after someone "introduced the idea" of the conservatorship to her dad, Jamie Spears, "… my mom actually helped him follow through and made it all happen." She went on to assert, "There was no drugs in my system, no alcohol, nothing. It was pure abuse," and said there was a time when she was "more angry" at Lynne than Jamie, despite Jamie's long-held role as his daughter's conservator. In her response on social media, Lynne shared a photo of herself with her daughter, writing: "Britney, your whole life I have tried my best to support your dreams and wishes! And also, I have tried my best to help you out of hardships! I have never and will never turn my back on you! Your rejections to the countless times I have flown out and calls make me feel hopeless! I have tried everything." She then reiterated that "this talk is for you and me only," despite having posted it on her Instagram. Britney's conservatorship was terminated in November.

Gabrielle Union teases 'Bring It On' sequel idea

It's been 22 years since Gabrielle Union and Kirsten Dunst faced off as cheerleading captains at rival high schools in "Bring It On," and the time may finally be right for the cult classic's original stars to return in a sequel. Gabrielle, who played cheerleader Isis from the East Compton Clovers in the original film but never appeared in subsequent sequels, shared a handful of photos on Twitter marking the anniversary last week. She also seemed to tease interest in returning to her former character. "Hmmmm so Isis might have a teenager," Gabrielle wrote in the caption. The tweet soon rounded up more than 10,000 likes, as well as comments from younger stars like Chloe Bailey who replied, "I wanna be apart," seemingly throwing her name in the ring for a chance to star in Gabrielle's sequel idea. No word yet, though, on whether something's in the works.

Britney Spears' iconic nude 'Oops… I Did It Again' look, plus more of the wildest performance outfits of past MTV VMAs

by Megan Riedlinger Wonderwall Aug. 29, 2022August 29, 2022

The MTV Video Music Awards have been home to many iconic performances from the biggest stars in the music world. And one of the most crucial elements of a memorable appearance is selecting an outrageous costume. To mark the 2022 MTV VMAs on Aug. 28, we're taking a look back at some of the most outrageous performance outfits in VMAs history, starting with this unforgettable look… Britney Spears had quite a few legendary MTV VMA ensembles — like her 2000 MTV Video Music Awards getup. The singer kicked off her performance covering the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction" in a two-piece suit. But halfway through, the pop princess cemented her icon status when she stripped down to a shimmering flesh-toned two-piece ensemble to perform "Oops… I Did It Again."

Keep reading to see Britney's equally iconic performance look from a year later… then keep reading for more stars' wild looks…

_

At the 2001 show, Britney Spears performed "I'm A Slave 4 U" in a skimpy jewel-embellished blue and green two-piece number while surrounded by tigers — then rocked a seven-foot albino Burmese python named Banana around her neck.

_

Opting for a much more covered-up look than her typical performance ensemble, Beyonce donned a sparkly purple jacket and black pants while performing at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. The reason for the more conservative look? At the end of the performance, Beyonce unbuttoned the jacket to reveal her burgeoning baby bump! Daughter Blue Ivy Carter arrived about four months later.

_

Miley Cyrus hosted the show in 2015, but two years prior, she raised plenty of eyebrows with her 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance — which was definitely one for the history books. Starting out singing her hit "We Can't Stop" in a bizarre teddy-bear onesie getup, the pop star later stripped to a latex two-piece outfit and twerked on Robin Thicke while joining him for a rendition of his hit "Blurred Lines."

_

The Weeknd brought his performance art to the MTV VMAs stage in 2020 when he sang his hit "Blinding Lights" in a black-and-red suit — with a bloodied and beat-up face. It was all makeup, of course, recreating his look from the song's video in which he was injured by bouncers. He sported a similar bashed-up mug at several performances in 2020, but it still elicited a double-take from many MTV VMA viewers.

_

Shakira performed her hit track "Hips Don't Lie" with Wyclef Jean during the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards. The Colombian beauty wore a super-sexy and super-memorable outfit: a pink satin bandeau top paired with a low-rise skirt and layers of jewels dripping down her midriff. She also sparkled in an equally bedazzled headpiece.

_

At the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, Lady Gaga performed in an outfit that made her completely unrecognizable. Hitting the stage dressed as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, the menswear-clad pop icon sang her song "You and I," all while staying in character as Jo.

_

At MTV's first Video Music Awards in 1984, Madonna really set the bar high for future performances. Wearing a white wedding gown and writhing around on the floor, the superstar sang her song "Like a Virgin" and solidified her spot in outrageous VMA performance history.

_

Jennifer Lopez took to the stage to perform before accepting her Video Vanguard Award at the 2018 MTV VMAs, and she did it in true J.Lo style — in head-to-toe Versace. The superstar sported various Versace ensembles during a performance that included a medley of her hits — like this gorgeous gown adorned with the fashion house's famous Medusa logos and iconic baroque print, which Jennifer later stripped off to reveal a shimmery bodysuit that was later topped with a variety of additions, including sparkly track pants and, at one point, a massive fur coat.

_

Though not intentionally meant to be outrageous, while performing at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards, Nicki Minaj served up a scandalous moment on stage. While singing "Bang Bang" with Jessie J and Ariana Grande, the rapper suffered a wardrobe malfunction when the zipper on her dress failed to work. Nicki had to hold the dress closed during her entire performance.

_

*NSYNC's 2001 MTV Video Music Awards performance might have been pretty epic — especially considering that Michael Jackson joined them on stage for "Pop" — but that doesn't mean Justin Timberlake gets a pass for this horrendous outfit. Take a good look at this tie-dyed, graffiti-covered pink, blue, yellow and brown mess.

_

A human basketball? Only Katy Perry would get inspired by sporting equipment! The star, who also served as the host of the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards, sported this white minidress with a basketball-emblazoned corset while performing her aptly titled single "Swish Swish."

_

Remember when Kelly Clarkson was serving up some major pop-rock vibes? In 2005, the "American Idol" alum took the stage — barefoot — during the MTV Video Music Awards to perform her breakup anthem "Since U Been Gone" in a cropped black tank top and low-rise capri pants with a studded belt.

_

Lenny Kravitz took a page out of the Victoria's Secret Angels' book for the 2004 MTV Video Music Awards. The rocker joined Alicia Keys and Stevie Wonder on stage for a performance of Stevie's song "Higher Ground" and opted for a pair of wings and a fringed collar instead of a shirt.

_

Marilyn Manson performed his song "The Beautiful People" at the 1997 MTV Music Video Awards. The controversial rocker took his already outlandish look up a notch for the big performance: He wore black lingerie on stage.

_

At the MTV Video Music Awards in 1990, the one and only Madonna performed "Vogue" in what can best be described as her "Marie Antoinette" look. The superstar rocked a dress fit for a member of the French aristocracy while flanked by equally elaborately costumed backup dancers.

_

Lady Gaga has a reputation for putting on performances that are all at once memorable, bizarre and totally captivating. In 2009, she took the stage during the MTV Video Music Awards in a jewel-studded crop top with one large shoulder pad, white undies and embellished thigh-high boots to perform "Poker Face" and "Paparazzi." By the end of the set, Mother Monster was covered in fake blood! No one does it quite like Gaga!

_

Don't be fooled by how innocent this outfit looks from the front! When Prince performed at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards, his outfit was so risqué from behind that we can't even show it to you! While singing his song "Gett Off," the late superstar wore a bright yellow suit featuring chaps that left little to the imagination… and covered very little of his derrière.

_

Back in 1989, Jon Bon Jovi and Richie Sambora gave one of the best classic rock performances in MTV Video Music Awards history. Playing an acoustic version of "Wanted Dead Or Alive," the rockers came armed with big hair, tight denim and plenty of accessories. While it was all the rage back in the '80s, nowadays, these ensembles are pretty entertaining to see.

_

Back in 2008, Rihanna performed her song "Disturbia" at the MTV Video Music Awards in this black studded leather ensemble complete with fishnets, buckles and arm bands. But the most confusing part of the outfit? The white bustle on her backside!

_

Though Miley Cyrus's outfit got a lot of attention during their performance, Robin Thicke also rocked a notable ensemble at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. While performing "Blurred Lines" with Miley and her foam finger, Robin wore a black-and-white-striped suit reminiscent of the titular character in "Beetlejuice."

_

Ariana Grande has definitely gone through her fair share of fashion phases, but one part of her look has remained constant: her high ponytail! In 2014, the pop star took the stage to perform her single "Break Free" in a gorgeous shimmery bodysuit with matching over-the-knee boots. She was also joined by Nicki Minaj and Jessie J to perform their hit "Bang Bang."

_

Skin was in during the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City: Pink performed "Just Like a Pill" in nothing but some tiny leather lace-up short shorts, a lace-up crop top and some pretty intense fake tattoos.

_

It was one of the most iconic performances in MTV Video Music Awards history: Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera took the stage in 2003 singing "Like a Virgin," paying homage to Madonna's legendary first VMAs performance complete with wedding dresses and veils. Then Madonna herself joined them on stage in a top hat and tails before stripping down to a skin-tight look to perform her song "Hollywood" with her pop protégées — both of whom she kissed.

_

For her 2003 MTV Video Music Awards performance, Beyonce started on a very high note while hanging suspended above the stage. After being lowered to perform, the superstar had a quick wardrobe change — which included this super-long fur accessory that gives us major "Banana" vibes! (You know, the python Britney danced with in 2001.)

_

Katy Perry rocked the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City with her performance of "Roar," selecting this funky boxing-themed ensemble for the stage.

_

The 2015 MTV Video Music Awards had its fair share of drama leading up to the big night, including a major fight between two big players in the music world. Taylor Swift and Nicki Minaj exchanged words on Twitter after nominations were announced but ended up reuniting on stage to put their feud behind them. Almost eclipsing the major moment? Nicki's insane red feathered headpiece!

_

While performing a tribute to her late brother, Michael Jackson, at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, Janet Jackson wore this black-and-white high-collared leather getup featuring layers and embellishments galore.

_

In 2016, Britney Spears returned to the MTV Music Video Awards stage to perform her hit "Make Me" with G-Eazy. But no Britney VMA performance would be complete without a scandalous ensemble. Fifteen years after wearing her iconic "I'm a Slave 4 U" costume, Britney opted for this teensy neon yellow look.

_

Beyonce has shown time and time again why she is one of the world's biggest stars — and her performance during the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards was further proof. That year, Bey took the stage to perform "Ring the Alarm" in a sultry black latex getup with a patterned corset cinching her waist and thigh-high patent leather heeled boots.

_

Miley Cyrus pulled double duty at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards. Aside from hosting the show, Miley also performed her song "Dooo It!" that night with some help from a group of drag queens — and wore this one-legged, one-armed candy-colored funky frock while she did it.

_

While performing the remix of his hit single "P.I.M.P." at the 2003 Video Music Awards, 50 Cent rocked this all-white ensemble — plus plenty of chains and a matching fedora. His performing partner, Snoop Dogg, dressed the part in an all-purple look that included a long scarf and a fedora of his own.

_

After getting a lifetime achievement award, the Rolling Stones performed at the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards in New York City in some pretty interesting outfits. Singing their hits "Love Is Strong" and "Start Me Up," Mick Jagger rocked a memorable "Alice in Wonderland"-inspired outfit — complete with a bedazzled top hat.

_

For one of Rihanna's four — yes, four! — performances during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards, the superstar donned this strange pale pink ensemble. The outfit consisted of a Hood By Air T-shirt, a corset, sleeves that fell at the waist, knee-less (and waist-less!) pants with zippered patches and, finally, fuzzy flats, tiny red sunglasses and red earrings.

_

Austin Mahone sang "What About Love" for his 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance, but we've got other questions for the pop star. A leather tank top? Leather sweatpants? Austin topped off his questionable fashion choices with an even stranger hat selection for the late-summer outdoor appearance — a beanie!

_

Musician will.i.am stirred up controversy with his 2010 MTV Video Music Awards look when he hit the stage to perform "Check It Out" with Nicki Minaj wearing black face paint. Many fans took to Twitter to claim it was a racist move. Will defended himself on social media, tweeting: "Let go of the past. there are far more important things 2 bark about. (Jobs, health, education) not a black man wearing all black everything."

Ex staffer speaks out on 'nightmare' life in Sly Stallone house

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 29, 2022August 29, 2022

On the heels of Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin's divorce, an ex staffer is giving a glimpse into the "nightmare" that was the ex-couple's behind-closed-doors life.

Maria Vivanco, who previously worked for the couple in their Miami house, told Radar Online that their was no glitz and glamor when it came to the duo.

"Stallone is a real-life Scrooge," Maria told the online publication. "The man abused and humiliated every one of us. Jennifer was always rude and he was disgusting, nasty, ignorant egomaniac."

Maria eventually filed a lawsuit against the couple in 1999, alleging mistreatment of staff. In the lawsuit, Maria argued that the "Rocky" star refused to let staff eat off the family plates and made them bring their own food and water from home. Plus, staff was searched before entering the house and after, she alleged. One workers, Maria said at the time, was fired for eating scraps.

The home, Maria said, was a "nightmare with all its secrets and rules — nicknamed Emperor's Commandments." In another bizarre rule, Jennifer allegedly instructed the staff to never speak to Sly's mom, Jackie Stallone.

"Flavin said Sylvester's mother was a troublemaker," Maria recalled. "But Jackie was never nice. We couldn't ignore her!"

A lawyer for Sly and Jennifer countered Maria's claims, saying, "These individuals were hired for 15 days. They were fired after 10!"

Last week, it was revealed that Sly and Jennifer were divorcing after 25 years of marriage.

"I'm sad to announce that after 25 years of marriage I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylvester Stallone. While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30-year relationship that we shared, and I know we are both committed to our beautiful daughters," Jennifer said in a statement.

Some reports claim the duo split because of a disagreement over a dog, but Sly argued that the pooch was not the reason for the split.

Jared Kushner says Bono and Billy Joel helped him reconcile with Ivanka Trump after he dumped her early in their relationship, plus more celeb love news

Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the stars who found love, suffered heartbreak or experienced some other major event in their love lives in mid-August 2022, starting with this couple… On Aug. 22, DailyMail.com reported that Jared Kushner claims in his new book, "Breaking History," that Billy Joel and Bono played a role in his reconciliation with Ivanka Trump after he dumped her in 2008 — three years into their relationship — because she wasn't Jewish. They reconnected several months later when their mutual friend Wendi Deng — Rupert Murdoch's third wife — invited them both (plus the "Piano Man" singer-songwriter) on a weeklong Mediterranean cruise. Jared shares a highlight from the trip: During "lunch at Bono's house in the town of Eze on the French Riviera," Billy played piano while Bono and Bob Geldof sang together. Ivanka eventually converted to Judaism and learned how to cook to "make our Friday nights together even more special," Jared writes. He goes on to detail their engagement: Jared visited Ivanka's father, Donald Trump, at Trump Tower to ask for permission to propose. Although he told his future father-in-law that he planned "a surprise engagement," the former "The Apprentice" star immediately "alerted Ivana that she should expect an imminent proposal." Jared then took Ivanka to see "Wicked" on Broadway while his brother — model Karlie Kloss's husband, Joshua Kushner — scattered rose petals and lit candles at his apartment, where he popped the question. At another point in his memoir, Jared details his first date with his future wife, which started as a business meeting while they were serving as attachés for their fathers. "Ivanka was not what I expected," he writes. "In addition to being arrestingly beautiful, which I knew before we met, she was warm, funny and brilliant. She has a big heart and a tremendous zest for exploring new things." He concludes by noting that their time in the White House brought them "closer together." Says Jared, "There's no way I could have survived my four years in Washington without Ivanka, my best friend and partner."

On the Aug. 24 episode of Kate Casey's "Reality Life" podcast, Brittany's Snow's husband of two years, Tyler Stanaland, revealed that his "Selling the OC" co-star Kayla Cardona has tried to kiss him multiple times. "One night, Kayla did try and kiss me. And then it happened another night as well," he said, adding that "out of respect" for his colleague, he's tried to "minimize it and brush past it so that there isn't drama." (Cameras were not rolling when she allegedly came on to him.) "But that was something where I had to kind of set some hard lines and some boundaries and reconsider the social environment a bit. Nothing happened. It was just … something that, you know, you don't do to somebody who is married," he continued, adding that Kayla's actions crossed a line. As for the "Pitch Perfect" actress, "My wife and I are very strong. We communicate. And there's no issue between us," Tyler said.

In mid-August, The Sun reported that Gérard Pique is dating a 23-year-old public relations student named Clara Chia Marti who works for his production company. According to the British tabloid, they've been an item for at least "the past few months" — since before the soccer star and former long-term partner Shakira announced that they were separating amid rumors that she caught him cheating. (There's no evidence that Gérard and Clara took their relationship to the next level before he and the Grammy winner called it quits.) "They have been keeping quiet about their relationship but those around them all know what is happening. People have been helping him keep the romance hush-hush and have wiped Clara's social media accounts so people can't find photos of her. That alone makes his mates think he is actually quite serious about being with her," said a source. On Aug. 21, "Socialité" published a video of Gérard and Clara — who's half Shakira's age — dancing together and making out at a Spanish music festival. According to the Spanish entertainment news outlet, Shakira was "very angry" to see the professional athlete out and about with his new love as she'd made a pact with him to keep any new relationships under wraps for a full year following their split.

It's official! Scott Disick was snapped holding hands with his rumored girlfriend, Rod Stewart's daughter Kimberly Stewart, during a night out in Santa Monica, California, on Aug. 20 — her 43rd birthday. (See photos here.) Four days later, Us Weekly reported that, according to a source, the long-term pals — who've sparked several rounds of romance rumors over the years — have been "dating for a few months" now and are "really into each other." A second source said that the duo have been "getting to know each other in a different way than seeing each other as friends" and that things between them are not "serious yet."

"Sex/Life" co-stars Adam Demos and Sarah Shahi are raising questions about their relationship status again… Earlier this year, the "Person of Interest" alum sparked rumors that they'd quietly gotten engaged when she stepped out wearing what appeared to be a massive engagement ring. Then on Aug. 22, the "Unreal" actor was snapped sporting a silver band on his ring finger while out with the actress in his native Australia. (See photos here.) The eye-catching bling sparked a fresh round of rumors that Adam and Sarah secretly tied the knot. So far, they're keeping mum on the subject.

On Aug. 21, Deux Moi reported that, according to multiple anonymous sources, comedian Trevor Noah and "Friday Night Lights" alum Minka Kelly are spending time together again just three months after multiple media outlets reported that they'd called it quits for the second time. They were reportedly spied hanging out together in Brooklyn's Fort Greene neighborhood, riding bicycles and also dining with her former "Almost Human" co-star Michael Ealy and his wife. But only time will tell if an official reconciliation is in the cards…

On Aug. 24, multiple media outlets reported that — just three months after they celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary — Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin are throwing in the towel. The former model reportedly filed for divorce in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Aug. 19, noting in her legal paperwork that the marriage is "irretrievably broken." ("I'm sad to announce that after 25 years of marriage I have filed for divorce from my husband Sylvester Stallone. While we will no longer be married, I will always cherish the more than 30-year relationship that we shared, and I know we are both committed to our beautiful daughters," she confirmed in a statement to People magazine. Sly, meanwhile, said in a statement, "I love my family. We are amicably and privately addressing these personal issues.") In her divorce filing, the mother of three requested exclusive access to their home in Florida and accused the actor of engaging in "the intentional dissipation, depletion and/or waste of marital assets which has had an adverse economic impact on the marital estate." She then asked the court to block him from making further changes to their martial estate until after their assets have been equitably distributed between them — and after she's been "compensated and made whole" for the assets Sly allegedly took amid their breakup. There'd been recent signs that there was trouble in paradise. On Aug. 10, for example, Jennifer raised eyebrows when she took to Instagram to cryptically caption a photo of herself and the three daughters she shares with Sly, "These girls are my priority. Nothing else matters. The four of us forever." Not long after that, the Oscar nominee had a giant tattoo of Jennifer on his shoulder covered up with a portrait of his beloved late bullmastiff Butkus, who co-starred with him in "Rocky." His rep insisted to DailyMail.com that the actor-filmmaker simply "intended to refresh the tattoo image of his wife" but "the results were unsatisfactory and, unfortunately, unfixable" so "he had to cover the original image." The rep added that "Mr. Stallone loves his family."

On Aug. 24, Page Six reported that, according to a source, Sylvester Stallone and Jennifer Flavin appeared "so happy" together in recent weeks, and the actor was "blindsided" when she suddenly filed for divorce on Aug. 19. "You couldn't think of a nicer couple. … . It sounded like everything was great," said one source, adding that the former model recently visited the Oscar nominee on the Oklahoma City set of his upcoming Paramount+ series "Tulsa King." Another source said of Jennifer's allegations that Sly intentionally depleted their marital assets, "It's so ridiculous. … It's just a pure lie." Said a third source, "Sylvester's intent was to work things out with Jennifer. Now I don't know [what will happen] because she decided to go public with everything." TMZ, meanwhile, reported that Jennifer decided to throw in the towel after a disagreement over Sly's new dog snowballed into a much greater argument. According to the webloid, Sly wanted to get a new Rottweiler for protection, and although Jennifer firmly objected, he ultimately acquired the pooch. The ensuing argument reportedly "brought up other issues" in the marriage, although those issues did not appear to be dealbreakers at the time. TMZ notes that Sly was shocked when Jennifer pulled the plug because he thought they'd be able to work through their issues. He later told TMZ that his dog did not play a role in the breakup: "We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument. We just went in different directions. I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She's an amazing woman. She's the nicest human being I've ever met," he said, doubling down on his previous claims that he covered up the tattoo of Jennifer on his arm when it was ruined during a touch-up. He also said that he still has a large tattoo of his estranged missus on his back.

On Aug. 21, Deux Moi reported that, according to an anonymous source, Julianne Hough and long-term pal Ben Barnes could be seen holding hands during a recent performance of "Into the Woods" on Broadway. The following day, Life & Style reported that, after years of rumors about the nature of their relationship, the duo finally took their relationship to the next level earlier this year. "Their friendship has gravitated into a full-blown romance. … They've officially been an item for two months and he has been flying to and from L.A. to be with her in New York. When they're not together, they FaceTime every day. They're so adorable together. Everything about the relationship is so easy and Julianne can be her true self with him. She's never been happier," said a source. The "Dancing With the Stars" alum and the English actor — who starred as Prince Caspian in two "The Chronicles of Narnia" movies and recently starred on "Westworld," "The Punisher" and "Shadow and Bone" — first sparked romance rumors in early 2020 amid a rough patch in her marriage with Brooks Laich. As for the other man to whom Julianne was linked in the wake of her split from the former hockey star… Life & Style reported that, according to a source, she and male model Charlie Wilson called it quits "a few months ago" because although "they were physically attracted to each other," they "didn't gel emotionally." The insider also described the romance as a "total rebound fling" for Julianne following her breakup from Brooks.

During an interview with Variety that debuted online on Aug. 24, Olivia Wilde shed some light on the not-so-nice circumstances that led to her 2020 split from Jason Sudeikis. While reflecting on her former fiancé's apparent decision to serve her with legal documents pertaining to the custody of their two children as she was presenting her upcoming film "Don't Worry Darling" in front of thousands of entertainment professionals at CinemaCon in April, the actress-filmmaker said, "It was my workplace. In any other workplace, it would be seen as an attack. It was really upsetting. It shouldn't have been able to happen. There was a huge breach in security, which is really scary. [There were] hurdles that you had to jump through to get into that room. … This was something that required forethought. … I hated that this nastiness distracted from the work of so many different people and the studio that I was up there representing. To try to sabotage that was really vicious. But I had a job to do; I'm not easily distracted. But, you know, sadly, it was not something that was entirely surprising to me. I mean, there's a reason I left that relationship." Yeesh! (The "Saturday Night Live" alum has insisted he had no idea when or where his ex would be served.) As for her relationship with Harry Styles, Olivia told Variety she was "not going to say anything about it." But the actress-filmmaker then added, "We both go out of our way to protect our relationship; I think it's out of experience, but also just out of deep love." Hear that? She said deep love!

Congratulations are in order! As Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz celebrate their first anniversary of taking their friendship to the next level, People magazine reported on Aug. 24 that, according to a source, they're "very happy" together. "Their careers are a big focus and they share this passion. When they are off, they are very low-key. They enjoy quiet date nights with friends but most often just hang out at home," said the source, adding that the "Magic Mike" star is "serious" about the singer-actress. "It's not a casual relationship. They have been exclusive for a long time," noted the insider. Echoed a second People source, "The romantic relationship is quite intense and positive for both of them. … Zoe sees the depth of character and a hidden maturity [in Channing], a person who thinks quite a bit. She is impressed with all of that. They have enormous respect for each other above and beyond the romantic attraction."

On Aug. 19, Charlie Heaton was snapped sharing a warm embrace with a pretty blonde "mystery woman" at a music festival in London. (See photos here.) The apparent PDA sparked a wave of rumors that the "Stranger Things" star and his on-screen and real-life girlfriend of several years, Natalia Dyer, had quietly called it quits — or that he'd strayed from the relationship. Just as the rumor mill went into overdrive, a few "Stranger Things" superfans stepped in to set the record straight: In early August, Charlie and Natalia were photographed celebrating together at the pretty blonde's wedding. But that's not all! The mystery woman's husband was also on hand when she and Charlie were photographed looking cozy together at the concert. In fact, both couples have been photographed together several times over the years. So there you have it, "Stranger Things" fans — rest easy: The mystery woman isn't a mystery at all!

During an interview with People magazine that debuted online on Aug. 24, former "Sister Wives" star Christine Brown said that she "stopped believing in polygamy" in 2018 — three years before she walked away from her spiritual union with Kody Brown. "I started thinking maybe this isn't working for me," she said. "I realized I didn't really want to live it anymore. I didn't like sharing a husband or feeling like I wasn't important." The reality star went on to note that she "would love to date" sometime "down the road." Said the mother of six, "Love the idea of the end having a romantic partner. But I talked to [my youngest child] about it the other day and she's like, 'Mom, I really like our life how it is now.' … I'm just going to let fate take care of that one." She added that she "will be a monogamist from here on out" and hopes to eventually find "a guy who actually loves me and wants to be with me intimately."

Added the former child star of her new romance, "You have to find someone that is your best friend that makes you laugh. Laughing is so important to me. … Too many times, I've been in relationships where, like, the person is just attractive or there is just an intense connection. When you find someone that's all of it, it makes it completely different."

Ozzy Osbourne planning to leave 'crazy' America for U.K. over gun violence

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 29, 2022August 29, 2022

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne plan to moved to back to their home country because of gun violence in "ridiculous" America.

The Black Sabbath icon and his wife have primarily resided in Beverly Hills for 25 years, and told the The Observer that they are headed back to the United Kingdom because he doesn't "want to die in America."

"Everything's f****** ridiculous there," he said. "I'm fed up with people getting killed every day. God knows how many people have been shot in school shootings. And there was that mass shooting in Vegas at that concert… It's f****** crazy."

The couple already owns the historic Welders House in Buckinghamshire, which will likely become their primary residence once the move is complete.

"I'm English. I want to be back. But saying that, if my wife said we've got to go and live in Timbuktu, I'll go," Ozzy said. "But, no, it's just time for me to come home."

The upcoming move also comes after Ozzy has had several health scares and undergone multiple spinal surgeries. In addition, the singer was diagnosed Parkinson's Disease in 2019. Sharon, however, made it clear to The Observer that Ozzy's battle with Parkinson's has nothing to do with the relocation.

"I knew people would think that. It's not. It's just time," she said. "America has changed so drastically. It isn't the United States of America at all. Nothing's united about it. It's a very weird place to live right now."

Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

While he'll soon be away from America, the Prince of Darkness won't be away from the stage forever. In fact, he and Sharon think he has another tour left in him.

"I'm saying to you I'll give it the best shot I can for another tour," said Ozzy, who has not toured since 2018 and has not performed since late 2020. "You have not seen the end of Ozzy Osbourne, I promise you. If I have to go up there and die on the first song, I'll still be back the next day."

Boy band singer's pregnant actress wife forgave him for bad behavior during a drunk night out, plus more celebs who overcame cheating scandals

Infidelity usually leads to breakups — especially when a couple is in the spotlight — but some celebrity duos have managed to move past cheating scandals and rebuild their relationships. Wonderwall.com is revisiting some of the famous star pairings who've overcome infidelity, starting with this couple… While Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel appear to be blissfully in love, their marriage has faced some serious challenges. In November 2019, the former boybander was accused of cheating on his actress wife after photos surfaced showing him touching and holding hands with his "Palmer" co-star Alisha Wainwright on a New Orleans balcony during an alcohol-fueled night out. Justin ultimately issued a public apology. "A few weeks ago I displayed a strong lapse in judgement — but let me be clear — nothing happened between me and my co-star," he wrote on Instagram in December 2019. "I drank way too much that night and I regret my behavior. I should have known better." He and Jessica laid low and the following July, they quietly welcomed their second son. Fans who did the math realized that Jessica would have been newly pregnant as JT's cheating scandal unfolded.

"The Real Housewives of Dallas" star Brandi Redmond and husband Bryan Redmond — high school sweethearts with four kids — weathered a cheating scandal that made headlines in 2021. In April, the reality star posted this selfie with her hubby on Instagram — the first snapshot of them together since a video of Bryan kissing another woman in a nightclub emerged weeks earlier. "I'm disappointed that I'm aware of when that happened," Brandi told Bravo host Andy Cohen on the "RHOD" reunion special that aired in May 2021. "It was in Las Vegas during a dual bachelor/bachelorette party for my sister and brother-in-law."

"The Affair" actor Dominic West sent the public into a frenzy after he was seen kissing his "Pursuit of Love" co-star Lily James in Rome in October 2020 — despite still being married to Catherine FitzGerald. Shortly after photos of the actors spending time together emerged, Dominic and Catherine stood in solidarity outside of their home in Wiltshire, England, where they kissed and posed for photos of their own. "Our marriage is strong and we're very much still together. Thank you," they wrote in a note left out for reporters. As for what the "Cinderella" star had to say about the pics and behavior? "Ach, I'm not really willing to talk about that. There's a lot to say, but not now, I'm afraid," she told The Guardian in May 2021.

"Bones" actor David Boreanaz admitted to cheating on wife Jaime Bergman while she was pregnant in 2010.

For years, Beyonce and JAY-Z were haunted by cheating rumors that were confirmed when Bey's explosive "Lemonade" album was released in 2016. Jay released his own soul-baring tracks about cheating on his 2017 album "4:44" and later admitted he'd been unfaithful. "The hardest thing is seeing pain on someone's face that you caused, and then have to deal with yourself," he told The New York Times. Thanks in part to therapy, Jay revealed, he and Beyonce were able to overcome his painful betrayal and move forward, welcoming twins — Sir and Rumi Carter — in 2017.

David Beckham and Victoria Beckham have been married since 1999, but that doesn't mean their relationship hasn't encountered some bumps in the road. The former soccer star allegedly cheated on Posh Spice with multiple women including his former personal assistant Rebecca Loos, who detailed their affair in the now-defunct British tabloid News of the World in 2004. The A-list couple denied the allegations and persevered through it all, welcoming more kids in 2005 and 2011.

Sarah Jessica Parker and husband Matthew Broderick have long kept their private lives, well, private — so it was no surprise that the couple didn't publicly respond to tabloid allegations that the "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" actor had an affair with a 25-year-old woman in 2008 while SJP was filming the first "Sex and the City" movie. In 2013, the "Divorce" actress addressed the cheating rumors. "Yeah, I didn't comment on it," Sarah told Harper's Bazaar. "People have asked me about my marriage, 'How do you make it work, and I say, 'We don't talk about it.' That's not really true. It's sort of a nasty response." She explained that they didn't feel "obligated to respond to allegations or gossip" and she believes it's best to "take up a position, and you have to stick to it." She added that she loves Matthew and "we can only be in the marriage we are. We're very devoted to our family and our lives. I love our life."

He and Liz weathered the storm and continued dating for five more years before amicably splitting in 2000.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stayed with her husband, then-President Bill Clinton, after his affair with 22-year-old White House intern Monica Lewinsky was exposed while he was in office during the '90s. Bill infamously claimed during a televised press conference that he "did not have sexual relations" with Monica, though he was later impeached for obstructing justice and lying under oath. In a 2016 interview with CNN, Hillary recalled the heartbreaking scandal: "It was really hard. It was painful. And I was so supported by my friends. My friends just rallied around."

Josh Duggar and his family were the picture of devout Christian propriety when a sex scandal rocked their world. Just a few months after In Touch magazine confirmed that Josh had molested five girls including some of his own sisters as a teen years earlier, the eldest Duggar brother admitted to cheating on his wife, Anna Duggar, after an AshleyMadison.com data breach exposed his unfaithful behavior in 2013. "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever. While espousing faith and family values, I have secretly over the last several years been viewing pornography on the internet and this became a secret addiction and I became unfaithful to my wife," Josh admitted in a statement. Days later, he checked into a faith-based treatment center where he remained for more than six months. Anna stood by her man and welcomed him home with open arms, giving birth to their fifth child in 2017 and their sixth in 2019. Shortly after Anna announced they were expecting their seventh child in 2021, Josh was arrested and charged with receiving and possessing child pornography. He's claimed he's innocent and Anna has stood by him despite his beginning a 151-month prison sentence in 2022.

Wife Cookie was able to move past his affairs and the couple have now been married for more than three decades.

Woody Harrelson and Laura Louie seem like a picture-perfect couple today, but years ago, they faced a low point. The actor got drunk and had a foursome in 2002. "I went to this bar in London, and afterward these girls came up to me, these two girls, and asked me, 'So you want to take a walk on the wild side?' So I said, 'I guess I do.' And then I hopped in the car and another girl I didn't even know hopped in," he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017. "We went to my place and one of the girls was a razzi [paparazzi] or worked for them, worked for the rags. And she got a photographer to come out. That one girl manipulated the other two." Laura was able to forgive Woody for his indiscretion and the parents of three — who went on to marry in 2008 after more than 20 years as a couple — are still together.

Kevin all but admitted to cheating and publicly apologized to his wife and family in an Instagram video in 2017 after an unknown person allegedly tried to extort the comedian by threatening to release a tape showing Kevin engaged in sexual activity with a woman who wasn't his then-pregnant wife during a trip to Las Vegas. "I'm guilty, regardless of how it happened and what was involved," Kevin told radio show "The Breakfast Club." "That's Kevin Hart in his dumbest moment. That's not the finest hour of my life. With that being said, you make your bed, you lay in it." Eniko forgave her husband and the pair welcomed a son in 2017 and a daughter in 2020.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman always look very much in love every time the hit the red carpet, but their marriage was rocked by cheating rumors in late 2006. That's when model Amanda Wyatt revealed details of her alleged affair with Keith, claiming they started hooking up in 2004, did drugs together and continued to see one another right up until Keith married Nicole in June 2006. The country singer and the Oscar winner never publicly addressed Amanda's claims and are still very much together today.

_

Shante Broadus has been with Snoop Dogg since high school and they're still a couple, even after the rapper was unfaithful. Snoop's admitted he cheated over the years while on tour, but Shante stood by him and they are still together today. "I did a 'Playboy' tour, and I had a bus follow me with 10 b****** on it," he shared during a 2013 interview. "It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp. I love her to this day because she coulda shook out on a n*****, but she stayed in my corner. So when I decided to let it go, she was still there."

_

Jude Law became the ultimate Hollywood cliché when he began sleeping with his kids' nanny while he was in a relationship with then-fiancée Sienna Miller in 2005. After the explosive affair was revealed, Jude issued a public apology and Sienna forgave him. The actors continued to see each other for another year before splitting in 2006. They rekindled their relationship in 2009 and dated for another two years before breaking up again in 2011.

_

Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade were one of Hollywood's cutest couples when an alleged cheating scandal (and baby!) made headlines. Dwyane welcomed a son, Xavier Zechariah, in 2013 with a woman who is not Gabrielle. But the NBA player said at the time that the couple were "on a break" when the baby was conceived and that he considered his newest son a blessing. Gabrielle clearly made peace with the situation as the couple have been happily married since 2014.

_

Just months after welcoming their first child together, daughter Jolie Rae, in 2016, country singer Jana Kramer and her husband, Mike Caussin, temporarily separated due to his infidelity and sex addiction, for which he sought treatment. In 2017, Jana revealed her reason for standing by her husband during that trying time. "I stayed in the beginning for Jolie," she said on her "Whine Down" podcast. After welcoming son Jace in 2018, Jana and Mike continued to talk about their work-in-progress marriage, and they stayed together. Despite years of success, however, it ultimately wasn't meant to be: Jana filed for divorce in 2021 after — you guessed it — more cheating allegations emerged.

_

Fans thought Cardi B and fiance Offset's relationship was coming to an end when a video surfaced of the Migos rapper with an unclothed woman in his hotel room in 2017. The two rappers worked it out, however, and Cardi later shared that she has done some dirt too. "It's not right, what he f****** did — but people don't know what I did, 'cause I ain't no angel," the "Motorsport" rapper said.

_

Rapper-turned-actor Ice-T and wife Coco Austin were almost torn apart by rumors of an affair in 2012. Photos surfaced showing the model hugging, cheek-kissing and dancing with California rapper AP.9. The rapper took things a step further by claiming he had naked pictures of Coco and had slept with her. Ice-T commented on the pictures on Twitter, saying, "Don't get it twisted, I'm not happy about this s***. Most of [the pics are] disrespectful and in bad taste. She's made me look and feel like s***. I say this on Twitter because there's no way to avoid the obvious misconduct of a married couple." The pair were able to move past the incident, however, and welcomed a daughter, Chanel, in 2015.

_

Fergie and Josh Duhamel were supposed to be enjoying their time as newlyweds in 2009 but instead, they were battling infidelity rumors. An Atlanta stripper went public with her claims that she and the "Transformers" actor had sex at the St. Regis hotel days after he came into her club for a dance — and just months after he'd married the singer. Josh denied the rumors and Fergie later explained during an Oprah Winfrey interview that the reports ultimately helped their marriage. "It was difficult. When you go through difficult times, it really makes you stronger as a unit, as a partnership," she explained. "It does for us, anyways. Our love today is a deeper love, definitely." The couple stayed together for eight more years before announcing their separation in 2017.

_

For years, it was hard to keep up with the drama between Khloe Kardashian and her on-again off-again boo, NBA star Tristan Thompson. In 2018, the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star chose to forgive Tristan despite learning he'd been unfaithful just days before she gave birth to their daughter, True. In early 2019, their relationship was rocked by another betrayal, and this time, Khloe ended things after learning Tristan had kissed her little sister Kylie Jenner's then-BFF Jordyn Woods at a party. But more than a year later during 2020 coronavirus lockdowns, Khloe and Tristan slowly but surely rekindled their tumultuous romance. They were, however, hit with yet another infidelity scandal in April 2021 when Instagram model Sydney Chase claimed that she hooked up with Tristan amidst his supposed reunion with Khloe. By June, reports claimed Khloe and Tristan had broken up again, though in the months that followed, they were often seen spending time with their daughter — together, and it was later confirmed they had indeed reconciled — again — and even decided to have another baby together (they conceived the child, a son, via surrogate in November 2021). However, after Khloe learned that Tristan had cheated on her (again) — and fathered a son born to another woman in December 2021 — the reality TV star ended things for good.

_

At the height of the "Twilight" franchise's popularity, co-stars Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson were one of Hollywood's hottest couples in real life. Fans (and Rob) were shocked when photos surfaced showing Kristen making out with Rupert Sanders, her married "Snow White and the Huntsman" director, in July 2012. Kristen publicly apologized to Rob, who moved out of their shared home, though the couple chose to work it out. The dated for nearly another year before splitting in 2013.

_

Kobe Bryant and wife Vanessa Bryant were stronger than ever before he and their daughter Gigi tragically died away in a helicopter crash in January 2020. But in 2003, they were on the brink of divorce. After the NBA star was accused of sexual assault by a hotel employee, he admitted to cheating on his wife but insisted the incident was consensual. The woman later declined to testify and charges against Kobe were dropped. The Los Angeles Lakers star famously bought Vanessa a $4 million apology ring and the couple worked out their differences. Vanessa then filed for divorce in 2011, but she and the basketball legend reconciled in 2013 and welcomed their fourth daughter, Capri, in 2019.

_

"Vanderpump Rules" star Brittany Cartwright and husband Jax Taylor once found themselves embroiled in a cheating scandal. In 2017, Jax admitted he was unfaithful with fellow "Vanderpump Rules" personality Faith Stowers. Brittany and Jax's relationship has since recovered and they married in 2019. "He was very persistent and just did not give up. There were some times — sorry to say this, Jax — where I'd have 30 missed calls from him," Brittany admitted to E! News. "I knew that I loved him still. I was trying to act like I didn't. In the end, I'm just so glad where we are right now because we are so much better than we ever have been."

_

Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott's relationship began with cheating — both of them were married when they began an affair on the set of a Lifetime movie — and the unfaithfulness continued into their own marriage. Dean admitted to cheating on Tori in 2014 and their ups and downs were broadcast on the reality TV show "True Tori." They worked it out and Tori said she'd "100% moved past" the affair. "I believe that women have the power and it was a choice and people can judge me and say, 'Well, she stayed with him.' But I think it's more powerful to make the choice to try to heal the relationship and work on it and work through it if you truly love someone," Tori explained. Since 2021, however, the pair have faced fresh rumors that they're headed for divorce.

BDAY LOVE

Christina Applegate ditched date Brad Pitt to go home with another guy, plus more of the most iconic couples of MTV VMAs past

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Aug. 28, 2022August 29, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 1:30pm PDT, Aug 28, 2022

_

In honor of the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28, Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at some of the most iconic celebrity couples of past VMAs — from Bey and Jay to Kurt and Courtney and everyone in between! Keep reading to take a look back at the power couples we seriously shipped back in the day, starting with this duo… What could've been! Brad Pitt and Christina Applegate became pals and briefly dated in the late '80s — he even joined her at the 1989 MTV VMAs as her date. But the "Married… With Children" star infamously ditched the handsome young actor to hang out with another man during the award show. During a 2015 appearance on "Watch What Happens Live," Christina confirmed that she did, in fact, bail on Brad at the VMAs, though she declined to name the man for whom she left him, saying simply that he's well known but isn't an actor.

Now keep reading for more of the most unforgettable couples of MTV VMAs past…

_

Tommy Lee and Heather Locklear practically ruled the late '80s! The Mötley Crüe rocker and the "Dynasty" actress — who married in 1986 and divorced in 1993 — held hands at the 1989 MTV VMAs during the height of their run as a Hollywood power couple.

_

Long before triple-threat Jennifer Lopez made a name for herself as one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, she was known predominantly for her relationship with Diddy. The two music stars coordinated in white ensembles during the 2000 MTV VMAs. They were an item from 1999 to 2001.

_

Rising stars and then-couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Robert Downey Jr. — who connected when they co-starred in 1984's "Firstborn" — attended the 1990 MTV VMAs together. They were an item from 1984 to 1991.

_

It's one of the most iconic moments in red carpet history: Marilyn Manson sported a colorful animal-print suit while posing with then-girlfriend Rose McGowan — who donned a completely see-through, open-back beaded LBD that barely qualified as a dress — during the 1998 MTV VMAs. They got engaged not long after that but split in 2001.

_

During the late aughts, few couples had the media's attention quite like Vanessa Hudgens and Zac Efron. The "High School Musical" sweethearts attended the show and took the stage together (along with fellow "HSM" actors Ashley Tisdale and Corbin Bleu) during the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards. Zac and Vanessa — who were affectionately known by fans as "Zanessa" — dated for five years until 2010.

_

Did you know these two were once an item?! Bow Wow and Ciara posed for photos together at the 2005 MTV Video Music Awards. They dated from 2004 to 2006 and — according to Bow Wow — were engaged at one point.

_

Justin Timberlake and then-girlfriend Britney Spears looked cozy while cuddled up together in the audience during the 2000 MTV VMAs. The *NSYNC singer and the Princess of Pop, who were childhood friends and colleagues, took their relationship to the next level in 1999. They called it quits in 2002 amid rumors she was unfaithful.

_

Less than a year before his tragic death in April 1994, Kurt Cobain joined wife Courtney Love and their toddler daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, at the 1993 MTV VMAs. The Nirvana rocker and the Hole frontwoman tied the knot in 1992 and welcomed their little girl later that year.

_

Although they've since found love with other people, Nick Jonas and Olivia Culpo used to be an item! The singer-actor and Miss Universe 2012 cozied up on the red carpet at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards. They split the following year.

_

Ariana Grande and late rapper Mac Miller started off as friends before eventually starting a romance. The duo — who collaborated on Ari's hit track "The Way" in 2014 — are seen here posing for photos backstage during the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards. They met in 2012, began dating in 2016 and called it quits in 2018 shortly before his death.

_

Aw, young love! Taylor Swift and Joe Jonas sat together in the audience during the 2008 MTV VMAs, which landed smack in the middle of their highly publicized three-month courtship. Mere weeks after this photo was taken, the Jonas Brothers singer infamously dumped the country-pop cutie in a 27-second phone call.

_

JAY-Z joined then-girlfriend Beyonce on stage during the 2003 MTV VMAs for a rendition of their hit single "Crazy in Love." They didn't publicly reveal they were a couple until the following year — although, if we're being totally honest, we all knew they were secretly an item!

_

MTV royalty Carson Daly, the host of "TRL," and "American Pie" star Tara Reid stayed close on the red carpet during the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. They're seen here shortly before getting engaged, though they didn't last: Carson and Tara split in July 2001.

_

The same month "Newlyweds" debuted, a super-glam Jessica Simpson joined husband Nick Lachey on the red carpet at the 2003 MTV VMAs. They'd been married for less than a year when the MTV reality show hit the small screen, catapulting the pop stars to an extreme level of fame that ultimately took a toll on their relationship. They separated in late 2005 — the same year "Newlyweds" came to an end.

_

Then-newlyweds Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley made waves with the way they opened the 1994 MTV VMAs: The duo took the stage hand-in-hand to thunderous applause from the live studio audience. "Just think, nobody thought this would last," said the King of Pop. He and his wife of four months then shared a big, awkward kiss. But it turns out the critics were right: A year and a half later, she filed for divorce.

_

All eyes were on Tommy Lee and third wife Pamela Anderson thanks to their wild ensembles — a trench coat, sneakers and a bucket hat for him and a corset top with intricately beaded pants and an oversized furry hat for her — during the 1999 MTV VMAs. The Mötley Crüe rocker and the "Baywatch" beauty were married from 1995 to 1998.

_

A few months before fans started to suspect that Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez were secretly dating, the young stars posed together at the 2010 MTV VMAs. They went on to date off and on for more than seven years. Their turbulent romance finally came to an end for good in early 2018 … mere months before he proposed to now-wife Hailey Bieber.

_

Carson Daly — who hosted MTV's "Total Request Live" from 1998 to 2002 — dated teen idol Jennifer Love Hewitt for about a year in 1997 and 1998. They packed on the PDA while posing together during the 1998 MTV VMAs before calling it quits later that year.

_

The way they were! Two years after tying the knot, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West hit the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet together. The reality TV star filed to divorce the rapper almost five years later.

_

It was the hiney-grab seen 'round the world: A booze-toting Kanye West gave then-girlfriend Amber Rose a squeeze on the red carpet at the 2009 MTV VMAs. The rapper and the model dated from 2008 to 2010.

_

Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande brought their whirlwind romance to the 2018 MTV VMAs. At the time, they were just a few months into their relationship and subsequent engagement. But just two months after they were snapped packing on the PDA at the MTV award show, they'd gone their separate ways.

_

John Legend and Chrissy Teigen met when she starred as his love interest in his "Stereo" music video back in 2006. Nine years later, they coordinated in black at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.

_

Pop-punk power couple Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz presented an award together during the 2008 MTV VMAs while the singer-actress was pregnant with their son, Bronx Mowgli, who arrived less than three months later. (The pair tied the knot earlier that year in May 2008 and split in 2011.)

_

Before she was one-half of the power couple known as Robsten, Kristen Stewart dated "This Is Us" actor Michael Angarano. She brought him as her date to the 2008 MTV VMAs, which went down just two months before the first "Twilight" movie debuted, launching her to international superstardom. She and Michael dated from 2005 to 2009.

_

These two have been going strong for more than two decades! The same month Pink and Carey Hart celebrated their first anniversary of dating, they made one of their earliest public appearances as a couple at the 2002 MTV VMAs. They got engaged in 2005 and tied the knot in 2006.

_

Whitney Houston was literally all over then-husband Bobby Brown during the 1998 MTV VMAs. (Even the award show's Moonman mascot looked a little jealous!) The music stars, who were married from 1992 to 2007, matched in gray suits that they both wore with black shirts and shoes.

_

Make way for rock 'n' roll royalty! The late, great David Bowie attended the 1999 MTV VMAs with some very special arm candy: his supermodel wife, Iman. They wed in 1992 and were still going strong when he died from cancer in 2016.

_

Yup, Joel Madden and Hilary Duff dated for quite some time before he met and married Nicole Richie and she wed now-ex Mike Comrie. The singer-actress was all smiles while posing with the Good Charlotte rocker at the 2005 MTV VMAs. They called it quits in late 2006 following two and a half years of coupledom.

_

In 2008 — before she became a Rothschild through marriage — Nicky Hilton attended the MTV Video Music Awards with then-boyfriend David Katzenberg, whom she dated from 2007 to 2011.

_

Kid Rock seemed very proud to have a scantily clad Pamela Anderson — his future ex-wife — on his arm at the 2001 MTV VMAs. They duo married in mid-2006 but split just a few months later.

_

Former couple Kid Rock and Jaime King graced the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards red carpet with their presence. The "Cowboy" rocker romanced the model-turned-"Hart of Dixie" star for a few months that year.

_

Then-newlyweds Katy Perry and Russell Brand — who tied the knot in India in 2010 — shared the look of love while posing together on the red carpet at the 2011 MTV VMAs. Just four months later, however, the controversial English comedian filed for divorce.

_

We totally forgot they dated! Richie Sambora and Cher posed together backstage during the 1989 MTV VMAs. The Oscar-winning actress romanced many famous men over the years — from Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer to Gene Simmons, Gregg Allman and, yes, the Bon Jovi guitarist, from whom she reportedly split in 1990.

_

Vivica A. Fox raised temperatures while posing with then-boyfriend 50 Cent at the 2003 MTV VMAs. Though they dated for only a brief period of time in the early 2000s, their relationship was incredibly serious. In 2018, the actress revealed that they nearly got engaged.

_

Alicia Keys showed off her natural beauty when she attended the 2016 MTV Video Music Awards sans makeup! She was accompanied by husband Swizz Beatz — whom she first met when she was a teenager. They began dating in 2008 and said "I do" in 2010.

_

Meanwhile, Benji Madden dated Paris Hilton for about nine months in 2008. They attended the 2008 MTV VMAs together but split just two months later.

_

Carmen Electra and Dave Navarro both managed to show some skin during the 2003 MTV VMAs: She donned a minidress with an unnecessary slit in the front, while he flashed his stomach in a tight-fitting tank. They married just three months later but separated in mid-2006.

_

Early in their relationship of more than two decades, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith made it a date night at the 1997 MTV VMAs. Less than four months later, they became husband and wife.

_

Teen stars Ashlee Simpson and Ryan Cabrera briefly dated in 2004 — just long enough to attend the 2004 MTV VMAs together!

_

Yep, they dated! Fiona Apple brought then-boyfriend David Blaine as her plus-one to the 1997 MTV VMAs. The famed magician was on hand when the singer-songwriter picked up the award for best new artist and shared her gratitude by lecturing "everybody out there that's watching" about how "this world is bulls***." They split later that year.

_

Before his whirlwind romance with Ariana Grande, Pete Davidson dated writer Cazzie David — the daughter of comedy star Larry David — for about two years. The twosome even attended the 2017 MTV VMAs together! They split in May 2018 … the same month Pete and Ariana went public with their whirlwind romance.

_

Ice-T and wife Coco Austin, who tied the knot in 2002, donned matching cobalt blue ensembles during the 2006 MTV VMAs.

_

If Paula Patton had known about the controversy that would ensue following Robin Thicke's scandalous performance with Miley Cyrus during the 2013 MTV VMAs, she might not have looked so happy while posing with her then-hubby before the show. She filed for divorce the following year after nearly a decade of marriage and more than two decades of coupledom.

_

Riff Raff and Katy Perry sparked romance rumors when they showed up to the 2014 MTV VMAs in coordinating denim ensembles — a tribute to the iconic denim-on-denim looks that Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake wore to the 2001 American Music Awards. It's unclear if the rapper and the "Teenage Dream" chart-topper, who collaborated on the remix of her song "This Is How We Do," ever actually dated, though they certainly leaned into the buzz surrounding the nature of their relationship.

_

The late, great Kobe Bryant took a break from tearing up the court to have a date night with wife Vanessa Bryant at the 2008 MTV VMAs. They tied the knot in 2001 and were still going strong when he died in a helicopter crash in early 2020.

_

Controversial "Teen Mom 2" couple David Eason and Jenelle Evans attended the 2016 MTV VMAs together while she was pregnant with their daughter, Ensley, whom she delivered five months later in January 2017.

_

Long before he dated Amber Rose or married Kim Kardashian, Kanye West attended the 2007 MTV VMAs with his first great love: designer Alexis Phifer. The duo dated for six years and were even engaged for about a year and a half before they called it quits in early 2008.

_

Ashanti and Nelly, two of the most famous singers of the aughts, were in a committed relationship for 10 years until 2014. The "Hot In Herre" singer at one point wanted to marry the "Foolish" R&B artist! They're seen here at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards.

_

How's this for a random duo? Eva Longoria and Nelly posed together during the 2005 MTV VMAs and, in the process, sparked rumors they were dating. Although they arrived to the show together, it was never totally clear whether or not things between them were romantic.

_

Although they managed to avoid being photographed together during the 2019 MTV VMAs, Miley Cyrus and then-girlfriend Kaitlynn Carter made headlines when they were snapped holding hands while hitting up afterparties together following the award show, during which the former child star performed her hit ballad "Slide Away." Multiple media outlets reported that the two women — who called off their whirlwind romance of just two months in September 2019 — were spied kissing and cuddling backstage during the VMAs.

Stars who shaved their heads for film and TV roles

by Jessica Wedemeyer Wonderwall Aug. 28, 2022August 28, 2022

By Jessica Wedemeyer 12:02pm PDT, Aug 28, 2022

_

To mark the 25th anniversary of "G.I. Jane" starring Demi Moore on Aug. 22, 2022, Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at some of the stars who've shaved their heads for major film and TV roles, starting with this actress and her memorable buzz cut… Demi Moore's extra-long, stick-straight brunette locks were on full display when she attended an amfAR benefit on Valentine's Day in 1996. She spent the rest of the year sporting a vastly different look…

_

Iconic! Demi Moore shaved her head to star as a woman training in an elite Navy program in 1997's "G.I. Jane."

_

Kristen Stewart sported a brunette pixie cut at a screening of "Personal Shopper" in Los Angeles on March 6, 2017. The very next day, she debuted a drastically different look for a movie role…

_

Kristen Stewart dyed her hair blonde and then shaved it all off for her role in the action-thriller movie "Underwater," which hits theaters on Jan. 10, 2020. "I play a mechanical engineer who is working on an oil rig on the bottom of the ocean floor, so for me it's practical," she said of her new 'do during an appearance on the "Today" show. "I'm not going to be able to have touch-ups once I put the helmet on, so I must shave my head!"

_

Joey King took her blonde-highlighted locks for a final whirl at the Emmys in Los Angeles on Sept. 17, 2018.

_

Joey King shaved her head for her Emmy-nominated turn as Gypsy Rose Blanchard on Hulu's "The Act," which debuted in March 2019. Gypsy's mother, Dee Dee Blanchard, regularly shaved her only child's head to mimic the appearance of a chemotherapy patient.

_

Natalie Portman wore her hair in a wavy bob during the Golden Globes on Jan. 16, 2005. Just a few months later, she started sporting a dramatically different look…

_

Natalie Portman famously had her head shaved as cameras rolled for the 2006 dystopian political thriller "V for Vendetta." She later told MovieWeb of the experience, "I was so trying to focus, be in character; because we had one shot to do it. I don't really have any personal memories of the experience."

_

Charlize Theron sported a shoulder-length blonde bob at the MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles on June 3, 2012. Within months, she'd shaved her head for one of her most iconic roles…

_

Charlize Theron shaved her head for her role as Furiosa in 2015's "Mad Mad: Fury Road." The Oscar winner said during a press conference for the post-apocalyptic action flick that it was actually her idea to shave her head for the part: She felt like Furiosa, a mechanic, needed to "disappear" and "melt into this underworld mechanics place where she was almost forgotten as a woman." Added Charlize, "I just didn't know how to do that with a ponytail."

_

Sigourney Weaver shaved her head for her third turn as Ellen Ripley in 1992's "Alien 3." She later told the Chicago Tribune that the look wasn't her idea: She joked that after director David Fincher told her that he pictured Ripley as bald — to avoid catching lice while trapped on a prison planet — she responded, "Of course if I have to shave my head, I'll have to ask for more money."

Mike Tyson's craziest and most controversial moments caught on camera

by Jessica Wedemeyer Wonderwall Aug. 28, 2022August 28, 2022

By Jessica Wedemeyer 10:54am PDT, Aug 28, 2022

_

Mike Tyson is one of the greatest boxers in the history of the sport. He's also a major force in Hollywood, with several major film and TV projects under his heavyweight championship belt. On Aug. 25, 2022, Hulu is set to drop "Mike," an unauthorized limited series tracing the ups and downs in the superstar's career and personal life with "Moonlight" star Trevante Rhodes in the title role. The real-life Mike is furious: He told "Entertainment Tonight" that Hulu sees him as just another Black man "on the auction block ready to be sold for their profit without any regard for my worth or my family." He also warned the streamer, "I will always remember this blatant disregard of my dignity." It's the type of drama that tends to surround the retired athlete — who's collaborating with Jamie Foxx, Antoine Fuqua and Martin Scorsese on his own project about his life. To mark the Aug. 25 debut of "Mike," Wonderwall.com is taking a look back at the boxer's controversial life and career in pictures.

Keep reading to relive the highlights from Mike's time in the spotlight — good and bad! — caught on camera…

_

A baby-faced Mike Tyson is pictured in an undated photo from early in his career. The champion boxer — who was born on June 30, 1966 — had a rough upbringing in New York City: His mother, whom he's described as abusive, died when he was just 16, and he was estranged from his father. (His biological father's identity remains shrouded in mystery. In his 20s, Mike briefly reconnected with a man who claimed to be his father, but that man died when Mike was 25.) At 12, Mike — who's said he was arrested 40 times before he even entered his teen years, predominantly for stealing so that he could feed himself — landed at the scandal-plagued (but thankfully now-shuttered) Tryon School for Boys, where he learned to box from a former boxer who introduced him to famed boxing manager and trainer Cus D'Amato. Before Mike's mother passed away, she signed over custodial rights to Cus, who became Mike's mentor and surrogate father but died in 1985 when Mike was 19.

_

In 1984, Mike Tyson fought Henry Tillman for the opportunity to represent Team USA in the 1984 Summer Olympics. But it wasn't meant to be: He ultimately failed to qualify. He did, however, take home gold medals at the 1981 and 1982 National Junior Olympics.

_

Mike Tyson looked ready to rumble during a match in New York City in late 1985 — the year he made his professional boxing debut at 18.

_

Mike Tyson is pictured here weighing in before his match against Trevor Berbick — his first title fight — in Las Vegas in late 1986. He won by TKO in the second round, claiming the World Boxing Council heavyweight championship belt at 20 years, four months and 22 days. Mike officially became the youngest fighter to win a heavyweight title — a record he still holds to this day.

_

Mike Tyson dated Beverly Johnson for several months in 1986. The boxer and the supermodel, who's more than a decade his senior, were photographed during a night out in New York City around that time. Years later, he dated another iconic supermodel: Naomi Campbell.

_

After winning the WBC heavyweight championship belt, Mike Tyson also claimed the World Boxing Association and International Boxing Federation titles. He became the first heavyweight fighter to clinch all three major championships at once, making him the first undisputed heavyweight champion in nearly a decade. (He held the distinction until 1990.) In late 1987, he posed with all three championship belts before a fight in Atlantic City.

_

In mid-1988, Mike Tyson celebrated winning the Ring heavyweight championship in Atlanta City with his trainer, Kevin Rooney — who took over training the young fighter after Mike's surrogate father, Cus D'Amato, died. Just months later, Kevin landed in hot water with Mike when he publicly commented on the boxer's personal life. Mike promptly fired him, and Kevin went on to sue the champ for a whopping $49 million for allegedly breaking a verbal agreement that he would serve as Mike's trainer for life. Mike was ultimately ordered to pay his former trainer $4.4 million, though it wasn't the financial blow that had the most impact on Mike: Kevin's departure from Team Tyson marked a major shift in Mike's career, which soon began to plateau. (Mike also fired his long-term manager, Bill Cayton, for similar reasons.)

_

Mike Tyson and "Head of the Class" actress Robin Givens held hands as they arrived at the 1988 Emmys in Pasadena, California, six months after they tied the knot following a whirlwind courtship.

_

Seven months into their marriage, Mike Tyson and Robin Givens sat down for a joint interview with Barbara Walters for ABC's "20/20." Although things started out strong, with the couple heaping praise upon one another and professing their love for each other, the actress soon admitted that their marriage was "torture," "pure hell" and "worse than anything I could possibly imagine" due to the fighter's "extremely volatile temper," which she described as "frightening." She also claimed that Mike had been diagnosed as manic depressive, though she denied rumors that he'd hit her. "He shakes. He pushes. He swings. Sometimes I think he's trying to scare me," she said. In October 1988 — a week after the interview aired — Robin filed for divorce.

_

In 1989, Ohio's Central State University awarded Mike Tyson — who dropped out of high school during his junior year — an honorary doctorate of humane letters.

_

In 1990, Buster Douglas knocked out Mike Tyson during a match in Tokyo. It was the first loss of his career.

_

In 1991, Mike Tyson posed for a booking photo in Indianapolis following his arrest for sexual assault after 18-year-old Miss Black Rhode Island Desiree Washington accused him of raping her in an Indianapolis hotel room. In early 1992, a jury found him guilty and sentenced him to six years in prison, though he was released on parole in March 1995 after a little less than three years behind bars.

_

Mike Tyson's surrogate mother Camille Ewald — the long-term partner of his late trainer, manager and mentor Cus D'Amato — supported the young boxer at court in Indianapolis in January 1992. She reportedly died at 98 in 2001.

_

Mike Tyson jumped rope during a training session in Las Vegas in the summer of 1995 — mere days before he returned to the ring following a four-year hiatus from fighting. His first match (against Peter McNeeley) grossed $63 million in the United States, breaking pay-per-view viewership and revenue records in the process. The fight lasted just 89 seconds. Mike went on to win his next three fights.

_

In late 1995, Mike Tyson was photographed walking his pet white tiger cub, Kenya, after a workout session in Las Vegas. He kept the big cat for 16 years, he said in 2019, adding that she slept in his bed with him but that he now realizes it was "wrong." He had two other Bengal tigers in addition to Kenya: Storm and Boris.

_

In late 1996 and mid-1997, Mike Tyson lost back-to-back matches against Evander Holyfield. The second match — which grossed $100 million and broke pay-per-review records at the time — ended when Mike was disqualified for biting off a chunk of his opponent's ear. (He claimed the move was retaliation for Evander repeatedly headbutting him without penalty.) After the fight — the first heavyweight title fight to end in disqualification in more than 50 years — was called in Evander's favor, a riot broke out in Las Vegas's MGM Grand Garden Arena, leaving several people injured. Ultimately, Mike — who was paid $30 million for the fight, which broke the record for the highest paying professional boxing match — was fined $3 million and forced to take a yearlong break from the sport. (Evander was paid $35 million for the match.)

_

A little more than a year after they tied the knot, Mike Tyson posed with second wife Monica Turner on the red carpet at the 1998 World Music Awards in Monaco. They welcomed two children together, Ramsey and Amir, before she filed for divorce in early 2002 amid his infidelity issues. (Mike welcomed his oldest child, daughter Mikey Lorna, with model Kimberly Scarborough following his split from first wife Robin Givens. He later welcomed two more kids, Miguel and Exodus, with girlfriend Sol Xochitl.)

_

In 1999, Mike Tyson made his feature film debut in James Toback's ensemble drama "Black and White." He portrayed a version of himself alongside an all-star cast that included Claudia Schiffer, Robert Downey Jr., Brooke Shields, Ben Stiller, Jared Leto, Scott Caan, Bijou Phillips, Gaby Hoffmann and members of the Wu-Tang Clan. He also had small roles as versions of himself in 1999's "Play It to the Bone," 2004's "When Will I Be Loved" and 2006's "Rocky Balboa."

_

Mike Tyson landed back in cuffs in early 1999 — a month after he made his return to professional boxing with a controversial match against Francois Botha, whom he ultimately defeated. He was sentenced to a year behind bars and fined $5,000 for assaulting two drivers in a road-rage incident following a three-car traffic accident in Gaithersburg, Maryland, the previous summer. He spent nine months in jail but returned to the ring before the year was through: In late 1999, his match against Orlin Norris was ruled no contest when Mike landed a punch after the bell sounded, rendering his opponent unable to continue with the fight. He won three of his next five matches. As for the other two? Mike tested positive for marijuana immediately following his victory over Andrew Golota, resulting in a no-contest ruling, and Lennox Lewis knocked him out in 2002. (The Tyson-Lennox match broke pay-per-view records at the time, grossing $106.9 million from 1.95 million buys in the United States.)

_

In early 2003, Mike Tyson debuted his iconic face tattoo while getting a helping hand from son Miguel during a press conference preceding his fight with Clifford Etienne in Memphis, Tennessee. Mike beat Clifford less than a minute into the first round. It would be his final victory as a professional boxer.

_

In August 2003 — the very same month Mike Tyson filed for bankruptcy — the boxer, who was reportedly $23 million in debt at the time, made his red carpet debut as a couple with then-girlfriend Luz Whitney at the Ninth Annual Lady of Soul Awards in Pasadena, California. They dated from late 2002 to early 2004.

_

In mid-2005, Mike Tyson lost his final professional boxing match to Kevin McBride when he suddenly quit before the seventh round. A year earlier, he lost to Danny Williams after tearing a ligament in his knee during the first round. He underwent surgery to fix the issue, which had a permanent impact on his abilities in the ring.

_

In late 2005, Mike Tyson smooched a pigeon while visiting a breeder in Walsall, England. The boxer famously adores pigeons, which he's kept for most of his life.

_

In late 2006, Mike Tyson posed for another booking photo after he was arrested on suspicion of DUI and felony drug possession following a night of hard partying in Scottsdale, Arizona. (He almost crashed into a cop car after leaving a nightclub.) The boxer fessed up to taking drugs that night and checked into rehab a couple months later. In the summer of 2007, he pleaded guilty to the charges against him and was sentenced to just 24 hours in jail. He's had several lesser brushes with the law since then.

_

In mid-2008, Mike Tyson's three oldest children — Mikey Lorna, Amir and Ramsey — joined him at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of "Tyson," James Toback's well-reviewed documentary about his life and career.

_

In late 2005, Mike Tyson started spending time with British "Big Brother" star Aisleyne Horgan-Wallace. They were photographed sharing a ride after a night of hard partying in London in mid-2008. It's unclear how long they were an item.

_

In the spring of 2009, Mike Tyson's non-binary child, Ramsey, held his youngest daughter, Milan, at a special screening of "Tyson" in New York City. The following month, the boxer lost another daughter, Exodus, at 4 following a horrific accident involving a treadmill.

_

In mid-2009, Mike Tyson and his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, made their red carpet debut as a couple at the "Fight Night Round 4" launch party in West Hollywood. They tied the knot a few weeks earlier — just 11 days after the boxer lost daughter Exodus with ex-girlfriend Sol Xochitl. (Mike and Lakiha have two children: daughter Milan and son Morocco.)

_

Mike Tyson scored a major comeback when he starred as a twisted version of himself in the 2009 comedy "The Hangover" alongside Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis and Bradley Cooper. He briefly returned for the 2011 sequel and then portrayed versions of himself in "Scary Movie V," "Grudge Match" and the "Entourage" movie.

_

In early 2011, Mike Tyson starred on the Animal Planet reality show "Taking on Tyson," which chronicled his involvement in competitive pigeon racing.

_

In mid-2011, Mike Tyson and "Rocky" star and creator Sylvester Stallone were inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame alongside fighters Julio César Chávez and Kostya Tszyu.

_

In early 2013, Mike Tyson was joined by his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, and their two children, Milan and Morocco, plus his oldest daughter, Mikey Lorna, at the Hollywood premiere of "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth," a television special centered around his one-man show of the same name. (The show debuted in Las Vegas and had a run on Broadway before the boxer took it on a three-month national tour.) Later that year, he published "Undisputed Truth" as an autobiography that made The New York Times Best Sellers list.

_

In early 2013 — after more than 25 years of portraying versions of himself in various film and television projects — Mike Tyson finally flexed his acting chops by taking on a different role: He guest starred as a death row inmate on an episode of "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit." He also popped up on episodes of "Brothers," "Entourage," "Breaking In," "How I Met Your Mother," "Franklin & Bash" and, more recently, "The Last O.G."

_

In 2014, Mike Tyson launched the amazingly absurd and surprisingly well-reviewed animated series "Mike Tyson Mysteries" on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block. He voiced a version of himself on the show, which loosely borrows elements from "Scooby-Doo." He posed with co-stars Jim Rash — who voiced a ghost based on the real-life father of modern boxing, the Marquess of Queensberry — and Rachel Ramras — who voiced Mike's fictional adopted daughter, Yung Hee — at San Diego Comic-Con that year. The series ran for four seasons until early 2020.

_

A family affair! Mike Tyson and his third wife, Lakiha Spicer, attended the 2018 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles with the boxer's three youngest children: Milan, Miguel and Morocco. (Miguel's mother is Mike's ex-girlfriend Sol Xochitl.)

_

In late 2020, Mike Tyson returned to the ring for the first time in more than a decade for an exhibition boxing match against Roy Jones Jr. The fight, which ended in a draw, was produced by Mike's newly founded Legends Only League. It was the highest-selling pay-per-view event of 2020 and ranked in the top 10 of most-purchased PPV events of all time.

_

In late 2021, Mike Tyson brought one of his daughters, Milan, as his date to a fundraising event in Newport Beach, California, for his foundation — Mike Tyson Cares, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary in late 2022 — and We 2 Matter. In recent years, he's focused predominantly on charitable work, launching the Legends Only League and running his cannabis company.

ICYMI: Sylvester Stallone's wife pulled plug on their 25-year marriage amidst a lot of drama, plus more news

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 28, 2022August 28, 2022

By Mark Gray 10:14am PDT, Aug 28, 2022

Splitsville

Sylvester Stallone's wife of 25 years, Jennifer Flavin, has pulled the plug on their marriage, but the writing was on the wall. The former model, Closer Weekly reported, quietly filed divorce documents in Florida on Aug. 19. In those docs, she accused the "Rocky" actor of hiding marital assets and asked a judge to put an end to it. Jennifer also made it clear she wants sole rights to their house in Palm Beach, Florida. Before the split news broke, photos showed that Sly had covered up a portrait of Jennifer's face that he had tattooed on his shoulder. An Aug. 24 report claimed Sly and Jennifer's marriage hit the skids after an argument over a dog (he wanted a new one, she didn't, and he got it anyway) that led them to bring up other issues that irked them. Sly denied they split over a dog. "We did not end the relationship on such a trivial argument. We just went in different directions," he told TMZ, adding, "I have the highest respect for Jennifer. I will always love her. She's an amazing woman. She's the nicest human being I've ever met."

Arrested

Irene Bedard, the actress who voiced the title character in the 1986 Disney animated movie "Pocahontas," was arrested in Greene County, Ohio, on disorderly conduct charges. She was released from custody on Aug. 21. According to TMZ, police were conducting a welfare check on Aug. 19 following a report of a woman passed out in the bushes on a residential street. After arriving, authorities found the voice actress exhibiting a "range of emotions" in a nearby parking lot. While chatting with police, TMZ reported, Irene ran away and nearly knocked over a table. Police eventually backed the former Disney star into a window and grabbed her by the wrist for fear she would shatter the glass. Irene reportedly tried to pull away from an officer's grip in the process of her arrest, forcing additional officers to restrain her with handcuffs, according to the report. Then, while cuffed, she allegedly became dead weight, forcing police to hold her up while being taken to the cruiser.

Weight winner

Baby weight gone! On Aug. 22, "Vanderpump Rules" alum Brittany Cartwright stunned her Instagram followers while showing off her 40-pound weight loss in a plunging swimsuit. Brittany has been losing weight with Jenny Craig. Brittany's husband, Jax Taylor, reposted the snapshot and praised his wife, writing, "I am so proud of my wife she has worked so hard on something that wasn't easy for her…you're my idol babe! You look absolutely amazing."

Dating news

Are the long-running rumors true? Julianne Hough has been linked to longtime pal Ben Barnes on and off following her split from former NHL player Brooks Laich divorced (and even before that when her marriage hit a rough patch). On Aug. 21, Deux Moi reported that, according to an anonymous source, the "Dancing With The Stars" alum and "The Chronicles of Narnia" actor were spotted holding hands during a recent performance of "Into the Woods" on Broadway. The following day, Life & Style reported that the duo finally took their relationship to the next level earlier this year. "Their friendship has gravitated into a full-blown romance. … They've officially been an item for two months and he has been flying to and from L.A. to be with her in New York. When they're not together, they FaceTime every day. They're so adorable together. Everything about the relationship is so easy and Julianne can be her true self with him. She's never been happier," said a source.

Cheating accusations

Cheryl Burke appeared to spill some tea on TikTok on Aug. 24 when she strongly implied that her estranged husband, Matthew Lawrence, cheated on her. In a brief clip, the "Dancing With The Stars" pro looks at the camera but says nothing. However, her caption was more telling: "When he said he would never talk to her again yet I found text messages, viagra, and a necklace hidden in a pair of his shoes," she wrote. The music playing over the clip featured Adele singing "the last time" from her song "When We Were Young." Cheryl wrote, "The last time is absolutely right! Goodbye forever…#exessuck #goodbyeforever #hopeitwasworthit." While the "Dance Moms" coach didn't name Matthew, her followers believe she was referring to the "Mrs. Doubtfire" actor.

R.I.P.

Joe E. Tata, who played beloved Peach Pit owner Nat Bussichio on "Beverly Hills, 90210," passed away after an eight-year battle with Alzheimer's disease, it was announced on Aug. 25. He was 85. Joe was a staple on the iconic show, as his character often served as a father figure to Brandon, Brenda, Dylan, Kelly and the rest of the gang from West Beverly Hills High School. "He was as generous with his wisdom as he was with his kindness," Ian Ziering wrote of Joe on Instagram. "Though the peach pit was a 90210 set, it often felt like the backdrop to the Joe E Tata show. The stories of days gone by that he would share, incredible experiences in the entertainment industry that he was a part of would keep us all captivated. He may have been in the back of many scenes, but he was a leading force, especially to us guys, on how to appreciate the gift that 90210 was."

Lifted

Kristin Cavallari just admitted that she's had some assistance with her appearance. During an Instagram Q&A on Aug. 23, the "The Hills" alum revealed that she got a breast lift after welcoming her third child with ex-husband Jay Cutler. "Gonna keep it real with y'all: got a lift after breastfeeding all 3 kids," she wrote. K-Cav also revealed how she feels about Botox and fillers. "It's not for me (or maybe I should say, I've never done it). But I've seen it look amazing on some people," she shared. Her concern, she explained, "is that we don't know the long term effects of it (and I don't mean like 5-10 years, I mean like 20 years) and I think your face is a muscle, so we need to work it out the same way we would any other muscle." She added, "I'm super animated so I need my face to move and honestly, my lines don't bother me."

Married… finally

Finally! Three years after getting engaged and nearly five years after going public with their romance, Bachelor Nation alum Wells Adams and "Modern Family" actress Sarah Hyland are husband and wife. The couple married at the Sunstone Winery near Santa Barbara, California, on Aug. 20, People magazine confirmed, in front of guests including the bride's "Modern Family" co-stars Sofia Vergara, Julie Bowen, Nolan Gould and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who officiated the nuptials, as seen in wedding photos published on DailyMail.com. On Aug. 23, Sarah joked that the train of her wedding dress was "as long as our engagement." (The couple had planned to marry in August 2020, but COVID pushed the date back two years.)

Birthday Boy Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston are still inseparable, plus more of Hollywood's famous besties

Hollywood can often pit celebrity friends against each other, but these duos have managed to stay close. Take birthday boy Aaron Paul and his "Breaking Bad" co-star Bryan Cranston, for example! Aaron — who turns 43 on Aug. 27, 2022 — has credited their on-screen "mentor-mentee" relationship with sparking a real-life bromance. He opened up to Esquire in 2022, explaining, "I say it every time I'm with him. I love this man so much… He is truly a father figure, an older brother figure, that I just love and adore so much." Though the duo no longer see each other regularly on a set, they've gone into business together to create a spirits line, Dos Hombres Mezcal.

If we could be part of any celebrity friendship, it'd be Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's. These hilarious gals have kept us laughing through movies, "Saturday Night Live" skits and award shows — their chemistry is undeniable! Though women in Hollywood (and especially comedy) seem to always be in competition, these BFFs have done nothing but support each other since the beginning.

_

It was "Dawson's Creek" that brought Michelle Williams and Busy Philipps into each other's lives. And their bond grew so deep that even after the show was canceled, the former co-stars remained BFFs. Michelle leaned on Busy when ex Heath Ledger passed away and she had to move forward as a single mom. They've been each other's dates to awards shows. They even often vacation together! "I'm so in love with her," Michelle told People magazine in 2016. "She's proof that the love of your life does not have to be a man! That's the love of my life right there."

_

Alexander Skarsgard and Jack McBrayer's friendship might have flown under the radar for a while but the bromance is now front and center. It turns out the pair have been close for years. "30 Rock" star Jack attended the Season 5 premiere of "True Blood" to support Alexander back in 2012 and the duo were spotted hanging out in 2013 too. They worked together on a "Funny Or Die" project in 2015 and spent all night side-by-side at the 2017 Emmys and the 2018 SAG Awards. "Well, we were [friends] before, but not so much anymore. We were incredibly close until we spent nine days together on a boat in bunk beds," Alexander joked to Esquire.

_

Tobey Maguire and Leonardo DiCaprio have basically grown up together in the spotlight. Leo took a walk down memory lane with HuffPo and explained how his bromance began with his "The Great Gatsby" co-star. "After I met Tobey at an audition, I felt like I wanted this guy to be my friend. I remember driving back from school and he was doing "Hot Rod Brown Class Clown" with Whoopi Goldberg outside Hollywood High. It was a high school. And I jumped out of my car in the middle of the scene, as they were shooting, practically. I was like, 'Tobey! Tobey! Tobey! Give me your number.' He was like, 'Yeah, who are you again?'"

_

These lovely ladies have been besties ever since Penelope Cruz moved to the United States. She and Salma Hayek have seen each other through everything from breakups to babies and even co-starred in the 2006 film "Bandidas." Penelope has said that she and gal pal Salma are "like sisters."

_

Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez are two peas in a musical pod. Though Taylor has famously enjoyed the friendship of a whole squad of Hollywood stars over the years, Selena has remained someone special. The superstar singers have so much history with one another, they've considered themselves to be family and can often be spotted supporting one another at concerts and events (like Taylor's 2018 "Reputation" tour stop in California, pictured here). When a fan once asked Selena about Taylor during an Instagram Live session, she responded, "How's Taylor? Taylor's awesome. I love her. She's amazing. I talked to her today. She's literally like my big sister. I tell her everything. She's so smart it freaks me out." Selena has another Hollywood bestie, however, who literally saved her life…

_

"Grown-ish" actress Francia Raisa is so close to Selena Gomez that she became an organ donor to save her BFF's life. Selena was diagnosed with lupus in the early 2010s and needed a kidney transplant in 2017. Her bestie, "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" alum Francia, selflessly donated her own kidney — an act that Selena said she'll never forget. "There aren't words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa," Selena wrote on Instagram in September 2017. "She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

_

They seem like an unlikely pair, but Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart couldn't be closer. The two hosted "Martha and Snoop's Potluck Dinner Party" together on VH1 and continue to be there for one another. "She lets me do me and accepts me for who I am," Snoop explained to People magazine.

_

These "Friends" have had each other's backs ever since they met on the set of the hit '90s television series. Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston both live in Los Angeles and can be found hanging out around town together, but they also love to vacation in Mexico with one another too. Another true testament to their friendship? Jennifer is Courteney's daughter's godmother.

_

Emma Stone and Jennifer Lawrence quickly became BFFs as they navigated Hollywood as up-and-coming actresses. The duo were once inseparable: Jennifer interviewed Emma for ELLE magazine in 2017 and Emma was often spotted cheering on her bestie on red carpets. "She texted me that she got my number from Woody [Harrelson]," J.Law told Vanity Fair of Emma. "I replied, 'F*** off!' And we've been really good friends ever since."

_

Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore bonded when they were wearing leather pants and talking to a box on the set of "Charlie's Angels." Drew once said, "Cameron Diaz is one of the greatest friends anyone can ever have. She has so much love to give. We also support each other through the bad times." And in good times too: Cameron went wedding dress shopping with Drew leading up to her 2012 nuptials to (now ex) hubby Will Kopelman.

_

Though there have been rift rumors surrounding George Clooney and Brad Pitt's friendship, the pair have been pals for years. Brad addressed their alleged broken bromance and George's claim that he's been "unreachable" during an interview in 2015. "Well, you know, George is extremely accessible. He's one of our best representatives," Brad told GQ. "He's funny as s***. He's a joy to be around. I guess maybe I'm more of a miserable b******. I'm a bit of a loner, you know? I'm more quiet by nature. And coming from hillbilly country, I'm probably more reserved." Here's hoping their friendship can endure!

_

Millie Bobby Brown and Maddie Ziegler are joined at the hip. The "Stranger Things" actress and the dancer have walked red carpets hand-in-hand and bonded over their shared sense of humor. "A lot of girls this age can be super-jealous of each other, but Millie and I are so supportive of each other," Maddie told PopSugar. "She's always cheering me on in every single thing that I do. We have the best friendship, and she's probably the funniest friend I know. She always makes me laugh till I pee my pants."

_

To witness the bond between "The Office" co-stars Mindy Kaling and B.J. Novak, just follow them both on social media — it's all inside jokes and silliness. Though the duo often walk red carpets together, they are just friends. The pair, who dated on and off for years, constantly have to confirm that they aren't dating again. B.J. has said, "We are pretty inseparable best friends with a lot of chemistry."

_

J.D. and Turk didn't just have a bromance on "Scrubs." The actors who played them have been equally inseparable in real life. Zach Braff was a groomsman in Donald Faison's wedding and the guys cover Christmas songs together, team up to encourage people to vote, and grope each other on the red carpet. Their strong friendship also extends to the far reaches of Twitter. It's sometimes as if the site exists purely for them to chat.

_

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck have been buddies ever since they were kids growing up in Boston. They were undeniable best friends for years after they co-wrote and co-starred in "Good Will Hunting" and often joked about their bond. When Ben found out that Michael Douglas kissed his buddy during filming of "Behind the Candelabra," he quipped, "It burns me up. You know, I feel the envy in my heart. I can't stand it." They haven't been as inseparable lately, but Matt has another celebrity bestie who's filled the void — perhaps making Ben even more jealous…

_

Matt Damon and Chris Hemsworth grew close in 2014 and have been incredibly tight ever since. The two A-listers are often seen chumming it up on on red carpets, on the beach in Chris's native Australia and on double dates with their wives. Ben Affleck jokingly waved his white flag on Twitter. "Hey @chrishemsworth, you can have him! I'm Team @JimmyKimmel anyways," Ben wrote in April 2018. Chris and Matt have even taken things to the next level with family vacations…

_

Matt Damon, Chris Hemsworth and their respective wives, Luciana Barroso and Elsa Pataky, have been spotted on multiple globe-trotting family vacays in recent years. They were seen holidaying together in Byron Bay, Australia, as well as San Sebastian, Spain, and enjoyed a winter getaway together in Montana. In fact, Elsa and Luciana might even be closer BFFs than their husbands! "Chris has been a big fan of Matt Damon, me too, and then when I met his wife, I'm even more a fan of his wife," Elsa told People magazine. "They are such amazing people. We have three kids, they have four kids, so we ended up making the same plans because everything we do, we do with the kids, so it's easier to do things with people that understand you."

_

These two have a serious sisterhood. Victoria Beckham has been there to support gal pal Eva Longoria over the years, including when she was a witness to Eva's 2016 nuptials to José Antonio Bastón and when she was right there at the unveiling of Eva's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Eva is also godmother to Victoria's daughter, Harper.

_

Many don't realize that Naomi Watts and Nicole Kidman have been best mates since high school! "Naomi Watts and I are very, very good friends and have maintained that through many things… I think that's really rare, particularly for actresses, and I take a lot of pride in that," Nicole revealed to the Telegraph.

_

Khloe Kardashian and Malika Haqq have been inseparable ever since they met as teens. "Malika was dating one of my male best friends. He would always keep us apart because I am sure he knew we would just hit it off," Khloe explained on her blog. "One day we met and we did. Malika and [her twin sister] Khadijah have been my best friends ever since."

_

You've seen Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake perform the "History of Rap," right? What about on "Saturday Night Live"? Just by watching them together, you can tell how much fun they must have when the cameras stop rolling too. Justin has said that during a pause in his heartfelt wedding speech to bride Jessica Biel, BFF Jimmy shouted a joke that sparked a five-minute improv sesh. The wedding party and guests were in tears — Justin called it "a moment that everyone there will remember forever."

_

These guidettes have been through lots of drama, but it's only made their hairspray-enforced bond stronger! After we saw the lengths they'd go to for each other on "Jersey Shore," the duo snagged their own spinoff, "Snooki & JWoww." Jenni "JWoww" Farley has said of her godson's mom, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, "We hug, we spoon, we sleep in the same bed, [and we] text each other 5,000 times a day."

_

Kim Kardashian West and Jonathan Cheban are the definition of celebrity best friends. The two have been close for years after meeting at a birthday party and Jonathan has been there to support Kim through numerous business ventures, multiple marriages and every season of "Keeping Up With the Kardashians."

_

Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev hit it off after they were introduced by a hairstylist in 2012 and have been close ever since. "It feels like we met when we were 2 years old, because I feel like I have known you my entire life," Nina told People magazine about Julianne. "We are goofy, we like to laugh, we like to play with our dogs and hang out and watch movies and get ready together and go places together. We just like to be around each other. I can only speak for myself, but Julianne is such a positive, awesome person. She has an infectious energy that you just want to be around, so selfishly I am just trying to get a little bit of her energy transferred to me."

_

This powerhouse celebrity duo have done everything together — dinner dates, play dates, you name it! Beyonce and Gwyneth get along so well because each understands the demands of fame and family. The singer told E! News of the actress in 2013, "[Gwyneth] is incredible. She's a great friend on every level."

_

Jennifer Lopez and Leah Remini met through J.Lo's ex-husband Marc Anthony… and it was love at first sight for the gal pals. "It was one of those instant chemistry things, where you just feel like, 'I love this person. I love being around this person. This person makes me laugh,'" J.Lo told "Entertainment Tonight" in 2018, adding, "She's cool and we also have very similar upbringings. That's why we work well together."

Olivia Rodrigo goes full-on '90s in a baby tee and plaid miniskirt, plus more of the pop star's best and weirdest fashion moments

by Neia Balao Wonderwall Aug. 27, 2022August 27, 2022

Olivia Rodrigo has evolved from Disney darling to three-time Grammy-winning pop star at just 19. As her music career grows and flourishes, fans have taken an interest in not just Olivia's hit songs but her fashion choices, which often combine girlie silhouettes with a glamorous grunge vibe — an homage to the styles of the late '90s and early '00s. Join Wonderwall.com as we take a look at Olivia's best — and weirdest — fashion moments, starting with this look… Olivia was spotted leaving a New York City recording studio in August 2022. The "brutal" singer wore a black baby tee, a red plaid miniskirt and Doc Marten boots. She finished off her grungy laidback look with two simple braids and a canvas tote bag.

Keep reading for more…

_

In May 2022, Olivia Rodrigo left New York City restaurant Carbone in a sheer Ambush dress and Versace Medusa platform pumps accessorized with a Self-Portrait bag.

_

In March 2022, Olivia Rodrigo attended the premiere of her movie "Driving Home 2 U (A Sour Film)" in a pink-and-black ensemble — a corset adorned with bows, matching opera gloves and a miniskirt courtesy of Fancí. Chunky platform heels with a rounded toe from GCDS and knee-high stockings from Wolford completed the look. The ensemble perfectly embodies Olivia's sartorial DNA — femininity with just the right amount of edge.

_

In March 2022, Olivia Rodrigo attended the Billboard Women in Music Awards where she accepted the Billboard Woman of the Year honor. For the occasion, the "deja vu" singer wore a gorgeous Area maxidress with crystal detailing on the bodice. She added extra oomph to the look with a chunky three-piece Area leather belt featuring crystal-embellished statement buckles and further accessorized with GCDS lace-up platform boots and rings from Pandora.

_

Olivia Rodrigo attended the season 3 premiere of "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" in July 2022 in a look that was true to her eclectic style — a strapless Nensi Dojaka minidress featuring a cutout and sheer panel below the bust. She paired the edgy LBD with black patent platforms and Y2K-themed jewelry including a Dior choker and dangling earrings.

_

In May 2022 following the Met Gala, Olivia Rodrigo switched out of her slinky Versace gown and into another frock for an afterparty. She's seen here out and about in New York City in a pink-and-red houndstooth-patterned Versace minidress paired with Wolford tights and Versace Medusa platform pumps. While the look definitely encapsulated her nostalgic spirit, we could've done without the braided pigtails!

_

At the MTV Movie & TV Awards in June 2022, Olivia Rodrigo showed her love for vintage when she stepped out in a 1990s Jean Paul Gaultier corset gown. She paired the ultra-feminine, figure-flattering frock with Alexander Wang sandals and earrings by Outhouse.

_

At the 2022 BRIT Awards, Olivia Rodrigo put the perfect spin on a slip dress when she arrived in this jaw-dropping Alexandre Vauthier piece embellished with delicate square sequins. The pop prodigy paired her glamorously grunge dress with Stefere earrings, Djula and Poche rings and Giuseppe Zanotti wedges.

_

In April 2022, Olivia Rodrigo attended her first Grammy Awards, where she took home three honors: best new artist, best pop album and best pop vocal performance. The singer-actress showed up in an off-the-shoulder Vivienne Westwood confection embellished with a glittery pink outline of her silhouette that seemed in line with Olivia's aesthetic but wasn't one of our favorite looks on the star.

_

Olivia Rodrigo, seen here in April 2022 ahead of her performance at Radio City Music Hall in New York City, has certainly proven that her street style is just as worthy of attention as her red carpet fashion! The "SOUR" songstress donned a Heaven by Marc Jacobs vest, a Praying plaid miniskirt, TUKskin creepers and a classic Chanel flap bag.

_

OK, so maybe she wasn't totally on theme… but does that really matter when she looked this good?! Second-time Met Gala attendee Olivia Rodrigo showed up to the May 2022 event — which featured the theme "In America: An Anthology of Fashion" — in a shimmery lavender metal-mesh Versace dress. She finished off the look with sheer purple gloves, sparkly heels and an array of De Beers jewelry.

_

As for Olivia Rodrigo's first Met Gala in 2021? Well, her look wasn't quite as big of a hit. The "drivers license" singer took to the steps of the "In America: A Lexicon of Fashion"-themed event wearing a sheer black lace Saint Laurent jumpsuit with feathered trim at the neckline plus diamonds and platform peep-toe heels.

_

Olivia Rodrigo showed up to the 2021 American Music Awards in a stunning sheer periwinkle frock that was absolutely to die for. The sequined design by David Koma also featured a plunging neckline and statement feather trim.

_

There's something delightfully quirky about what Olivia Rodrigo donned for the Variety Music Hitmakers Brunch in December 2021 — a Calvin Luo slip dress with a statement olive green bow, which she wore over a Tankair mesh top. She accessorized with crystal-embellished Wolford x Amina Muaddi socks and Nodaleto platform Mary Janes.

_

Olivia Rodrigo rocked head-to-toe Saint Laurent when she attended the luxury fashion house's Rive Droite Art Basel event in November 2021 — a silk Georgette dress, Viper pumps and an Emmanuelle bag.

_

At the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures opening gala in September 2021, Olivia Rodrigo stepped outside of her comfort zone when she debuted a skin-baring Saint Laurent look. The "brutal" songstress donned a black floor-length design by Anthony Vaccarello with a thigh-high slit and cutouts along the bodice. While we commend her for donning her most risqué look yet, we wish we could've seen her in a different silhouette.

_

Olivia Rodrigo showed off her love for aughts fashion in January 2022 as she left a Spotify party — with bestie Conan Gray — in a black silk bustier corset from Alexander McQueen's Fall 2002 collection, a pale green ballerina-themed skirt from Jean Paul Gaultier and leather platform buckle-embellished boots from Marc Jacobs.

_

Olivia Rodrigo in vintage Atelier Versace?! We love to see it. At the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, the three-time Moon Person trophy winner — who took home honors for best new artist, song of the year and PUSH performance of the year — wore a romantic peach satin gown with a boned bodice covered in draped fuschia tulle.

_

At the 2022 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Olivia Rodrigo hit the red carpet in a purple Versace minidress paired with latex leggings. The frock featured Olivia's signature corset bodice and gave off an '80s rocker feel.

_

Olivia Rodrigo headed to an appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live" in October 2021 in an adorable getup consisting of a plaid corset top, a bright green satin skirt and Dr. Martens platform boots.

_

Olivia Rodrigo showed her love for chunky knits as she left New York City's American Girl store in April 2022. The "good 4 u" rocker — who starred in the 2015 movie "American Girl: Grace Stirs Up Success" — sported the Heaven by Marc Jacobs' brace face sweater, a blue plaid skirt and combat boots.

_

Not all vintage pieces should come back! While we adore Olivia Rodrigo's love for all things '90s and early aughts, this Betsey Johnson frock she wore after performing at Radio City Music Hall in New York City in April 2022 looked peculiar at best.

_

How darling is she?! At the 2021 BRIT Awards, Olivia Rodrigo donned a neon yellow tulle gown from Dior. She finished off the look with black platform sandals.

_

In July 2021, Olivia Rodrigo looked all sorts of sophisticated when she arrived at the White House to promote COVID-19 vaccinations. For the high-profile appearance, she went for a polished and chic look in a vintage black, white and pink Chanel tweed suit, white Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels paired with black socks and an Amina Muaddi purse.

_

Happy Birthday, Olivia! In February 2022, Olivia Rodrigo left her birthday party in Los Angeles wearing a black lace-trimmed pink camisole top and matching skirt from No Dress, black platform heels from Naked Wolfe and a glittery "Birthday Girl" cowboy party hat.

Keanu Reeves leaves British bride adorably smitten after surprise wedding appearance, plus more news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Aug. 26, 2022August 26, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 6:51pm PDT, Aug 26, 2022

Keanu Reeves crashes a wedding in England, makes bride's Twitter profile pic

The internet's boyfriend strikes again. Keanu Reeves made a surprise appearance at a wedding in Northamptonshire, England, last weekend, after the groom learned he was staying at the newlyweds' hotel. As the newly-minted Mrs. Nikki Roadnight recounted to Newsweek, she and James Roadnight had just said "I do" at Fawsley Hall when James spotted Keanu and invited him to the reception. He soon showed up. "My husband saw him in the bar area and told him he'd just got married and invited Keanu to come over to say hello and have a drink with us if he wanted to," Nikki shared. "He was very friendly and said he would later on. We didn't know if he would or not, but it was cool that my husband had spoken to him." Shortly thereafter, someone alerted Nikki that a "very special guest" was trying to find the party. "It was all very exciting," she gushed. "And I went to say hi and introduce myself, and I offered him a drink but he declined that and said he'd just had a long flight so wouldn't stay long, but he was so kind and friendly and congratulated us on our wedding." Keanu apparently hung out for a bit, chatting with guests, and posed for photos with the couple, one of which Nikki promptly used for her profile pic on Twitter. The one she chose was actually just a photo of her and Keanu — no groom — but she told a Twitter user not to worry. "Keanu is amazing, but shouldn't your profile pic be of you and your new husband!!!!!" the user joked. Nikki shrugged it off, replying, "Mr. Roadnight won't mind just for a few days."

Elton John reveals who inspired Britney Spears 'Hold Me Closer' collaboration

Britney Spears returned to music with her first new recording in years on Friday, Aug. 26, thanks to the invitation and support of her collaborator, Elton John. But Elton credits his husband, David Furnish, with the idea of reaching out to Britney for what became their new duet, "Hold Me Closer," a remix of "Tiny Dancer." Inspired by the success of his 2021 collaboration with Dua Lipa, "Cold Heart," Elton recently told The Guardian he aims to team up with a younger pop star "every year for a fun, happy summer record." He said he and producer Andrew Watt had the new music ready, but weren't sure who to invite for a duet."[David] said it would be wonderful for Britney Spears to do it," Elton recalled. "I said, that's a pretty amazing idea. She hadn't done anything for so long. I'd been following what's been happening to her for a long time." Praising her "incredibly brilliant records," he added, "She sang and danced so beautifully." After spending 13 years bound by a strict conservatorship in which she's said her father ruled every aspect of her personal life while exploiting her career for his benefit, Britney was hesitant to put the new track out, Elton said. "She's been away so long – there's a lot of fear there because she's been betrayed so many times and she hasn't really been in the public eye officially for so long. We've been holding her hand through the whole process, reassuring her that everything's gonna be alright," he told the outlet. "I'm so excited to be able to do it with her because if it is a big hit, and I think it may be, it will give her so much more confidence than she's got already and she will realize that people actually love her and care for her and want her to be happy," he added. "That's all anybody in their right mind would want after she went through such a traumatic time."

Ryan Reynolds wishes 'spectacular' wife Blake Lively a very HBD

Blake Lively turned 35 on Thursday, Aug. 15, and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, gave her the gift of a totally sarcasm-free Instagram tribute — kind of a rarity in either direction for the famously troll-loving pair. Alongside a gallery of nine adorable photos — a mix of pics of the couple and a few cute snaps of the birthday girl goofing off — Ryan wrote, "Happy Birthday @blakelively. You're spectacular. I'm not sure if you were born or invented. Also, thank you for urging me to leave the house every now and again. ❤️." (OK, so there was some sarcasm, but at least he didn't jokingly crop Blake out of her own birthday photo this year.) The loving post was apparently a hit. Blake replied in the comments with multiple happy face emojis, a heart and the words, "my guy." Ryan, 45, and Blake tied the knot in 2012 and share daughters James, Inez and Betty.

Shia LaBeouf denies Olivia Wilde fired him from 'Don't Worry Darling'

Shia LaBeouf says Olivia Wilde never fired him from her film "Don't Worry Darling," claiming instead that he quit. Olivia discussed his exit from the film in a recent cover story for Variety, citing the "combative energy" she found to be part of his "process," and untenable on her set. Shia, however, says he left the project because of inadequate rehearsal time. On Friday, Aug. 26, IndieWire published an email Shia said he sent the director after seeing her comments about having fired him. In it, he asks her to "correct the narrative" as she continues promoting the film, which stars Harry Styles in Shia's place. "You and I both know the reasons for my exit. I quit your film because your actors & I couldn't find time to rehearse," Shia writes after a few friendly paragraphs in which he says he prays for Olivia and her family "every night," and catches her up on his happy marriage, his "amazing" new daughter and the "moral compass" his "627 days of sobriety" have given him. He then thanks her for her positive comments on his work, but questions her version of his exit "narrative," adding that he's included screenshots of texts they shared that back up his version of what happened. "I know that you are beginning your press run for DWD and that the news of my firing is attractive clickbait, as I am still persona-non-grata … ," he admits. "But, speaking of my daughter, I often think about the news articles she will read when she is literate. And though I owe, and will owe for the rest of my life, I only owe for my actions." The actor also references his ex, FKA Twigs, and the abuse claims she's made against him. "But this situation with your film and my 'firing' will never have a court date with which to deal with the facts," he continues. "If lies are repeated enough in the public they become truth. And so, it makes it that much harder for me to crawl out of the hole I have dug with my behaviors, to be able to provide for my family. Firing me never took place, Olivia. And while I fully understand the attractiveness of pushing that story because of the current social landscape, the social currency that brings. It is not the truth. So I am humbly asking, as a person with an eye toward making things right, that you correct the narrative as best you can." IndieWire also published excerpts of Olivia's alleged text to Shia the night before his exit, in which she sounds grateful to have worked with him, and a video she sent him in which she says she's "heartbroken" about his departure, and asks if there's "hope" that they may still make it work, despite the apparent tensions between Shia and the other stars.

Jennifer Lopez serenaded Ben Affleck with a new song at their wedding in Georgia

"Can't get enough." That was the refrain Jennifer Lopez sang to Ben Affleck on the dance floor at their wedding in Georgia last weekend, and we can only assume J.Lo meant she can't get enough of Ben. A new video published by TMZ on Friday, Aug. 26 shows Jen serenading Ben at the shindig with what appears to be a new song — and some help from a crew of backup singers and dancers — as the actor sits back in a chair watching her perform with a blissed-out smile on his face. After eloping in Las Vgeas in July, the on-again couple tied the knot again before family and friends last weekend at the estate where they initially planned to marry two decades ago. They later jetted off to Paris to enjoy their honeymoon.

Scott Disick 'had to regroup' his relationships after Kravis wedding

Scott Disick has reportedly been editing his closest relationships in the wake of his ex, Kourtney Kardashian's marriage to Travis Barker. "Ever since Kourtney got married, he doesn't spend as much time with that whole group," a source close to Scott tells Page Six. "He's been kind of excommunicated because the priority is Travis. He had to regroup who his relationships are." Kourtney and Scott share three kids from their relationship, which began in 2006 and underwent a number of ebbs and flows before they split for good in 2015. Scott's now reportedly dating Kimberly Stewart, the sister of his longtime friend Sean Stewart, and spending more time with them and less with the Kardashian-Jenner crew, which now includes Travis, who Kourtney married in May. Scott didn't attend the wedding, understandably, but he's voiced frustration over being left out of other family gatherings, like Kris Jenner's birthday party. "For me to hear that you are having a little soirée and you don't think to invite me makes me feel like complete s***," Scott told Kourtney's mom at one point on "The Kardashians." "I love you, but how did you think I would feel?" Kris explained that she didn't want things to get "awkward" between Scott and Travis, but opened up more in a confessional on the show, telling the camera: "Kourtney met her soulmate. That's gotta be hard for Scott to absorb, but I never expected him to be so angry and wound up over this. He just needs to grow up and be a little more mature."

Cardi B hits back at Twitter troll who accused Offset of cheating

Cardi B spent hours defending herself (and her husband, Offset) from a Twitter tirade launched by a fan of Cardi's longtime nemesis, Nicki Minaj, on Wednesday, Aug. 24. According to ET, the feuding started in earnest after the Nicki fan moved on from making claims about a legal matter Cardi's apparently dealing with to posting claims about Offset. At one point, the other user brought up the Migos rapper's criminal record, sparking Cardi to tweet, in part, that the person was just trying to get her angry. "LETS NOT TALK ABOUT HUSBANDS NOW," she added, sparking a Twitter trend as fans assumed she was shading Nicki's husband, Kenneth Perry, for landing in hot water with the police for failing to register as a sex offender. When the person accused Offset of cheating on Cardi with Saweetie, however, Cardi blew up. "No baby you lying!" she replied. "You makin crazy lies starting s*** and putting female rappers in it WIT NO RECEIPTS, no blog ever spoke on this all of a sudden you come out of jail 5 days ago and you made up lied for 2 hours wit NO RECEIPTS!" She later told off another user who suggested the whole thing was a "stunt" for publicity.

A lawsuit that's hung over Charlie Sheen's head for five years is now over.

TMZ reported that the "Two and a Half Men" star settled a case tied to his HIV status and will pay a woman $120,000.

Neither Charlie nor the woman's identities were ever officially revealed, but it was very clear that he was the defendant. In the lawsuit, filed back in 2017, the woman said she and the "confidential male defendant" met and had unprotected sex.

The woman in her lawsuit that the man in question announced his HIV status on national TV on November 17, 2015, which is the day that Charlie revealed his health situation on "Today."

In her lawsuit, the woman claimed Charlie came clean about his HIV status after sex and told her to take two pills to prevent transmission, insisting that she not believe "the convenient rumors of the medical community."

In addition, he allegedly told her the "Apocalypse" had "cleansed" her soul, so he wasn't worried about her contracting the virus.

Fans back Drew Barrymore after TikToker calls her 'racist' for rain amusement

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 26, 2022August 26, 2022

Who knew that appreciating the rain could ruffle feathers!

Drew Barrymore found her name trending on Twitter on Friday, Aug. 26, after a woman called the talk show host "racist" for happily enjoying a rain storm outside.

Erik Pendzich/Shutterstock

This week, Drew posted a social media video that showed her rejoicing in a rare Los Angeles rainstorm. However, a woman in a TikTok video felt Drew was "frolicking" in the rain and insisted the talk show host "cosigned… people who just go out of their way to disrespect and dismiss the boundaries that Black creators have set."

"What is it so important to all of you to treat us like we don't matter," the woman said while giving little context as to why Drew's rain-soaked video was so controversial or had racial implications.

https://twitter.com/libsoftiktok/status/1563005768537780226

After the attempted takedown of Drew, very few people cosigned the woman's take. However, the overwhelming majority of social media users backed Drew while mocking the woman's take.

"Smiling, be happy is racist," one person sarcastically said.

"I'm sorry if you're gonna call Drew Barrymore 'racist' for simply dancing in the rain because she 'stole the trend from black creators' then what do you call the native Americans who literally CREATED rain dances for decades prior to this? Educate yourselves," another opined.

Another added, "I just watched a tik tok of someone making drew barrymore standing in the rain a race issue. Have you considered a job application?"

Matt Baron/Shutterstock

Even actress Yvette Nicole Brown chimed in.

"I believe in fighting racism, but this is NOT that," she said. "1) It is NOT racist for Drew to enjoy the rain. 2) She was not mocking the beautiful video of our brothers frolicking. Calling everything racist provides cover for actual racists."

"Further, the point of the video of our brothers being demonstratively carefree (for ONCE in their lives ) was to show that EVERYONE should have the right to frolick & to freely celebrate & enjoy nature without fear or ridicule. That includes @DrewBarrymore," she continued. "As Black people in America we have to fight the good fight every day to ensure that we have equality and true freedom. But it has to be the GOOD fight. This mess is not that. This mess weakens our stance. And our stance is a righteous one."

Kylie Jenner dragged for 'uninterested' attitude during fan meet-and-greet

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 26, 2022August 26, 2022

Kylie Jenner is getting torched on social media after a video of her "uninterested" attitude during a fan meet and greet went viral.

Earlier this week, a reporter named Alexa May Rhodes posted a video of her getting a photo taken with the reality TV star. In the very short video, Kylie hardly acknowledged the woman and doesn't really appear to make eye contact. No words were exchanged during the encounter which happened during the launch of Kylie Cosmetics' Lip Kits at Ulta Beauty in Los Angeles.

The Daily Stardust / BACKGRID

The reporter posted the video but likely didn't anticipate it going viral for all the wrong reasons.

"Interviewed the one and only @kyliejenner tonight what a time 💓," the reporter said on TikTok. She quickly deleted the video from her feed after social media users began ripping "The Kardashians" personality.

https://twitter.com/PopFactions/status/1563172404150423554

"'Self-made' rich girl cannot deign a glance, head nod, or smile to someone who probably paid hard-earned money for her crappy makeup products," one person said.

One noted, "She didn't even look at her or acknowledge her…" Added another, "no hug, a smile or even a word? naaaaaa."

Page Six quoted another fan who sarcastically commented, "You can tell how much love she has for her fans. 😂."

Heather Morris claims J.Lo once sent dancers home based on their astrological sign at an audition

Former "Glee" star Heather Morris claims Jennifer Lopez once cut candidates for a professional dance gig based on their astrological sign. "She walks in the room and she said, 'Thank you so much, you guys have worked so hard. By a show of hands if there are any Virgos in the room, can you just raise your hand?'" Heather shared on the latest edition of the "JustSayin' with Justin Martindale" podcast, according to Us Weekly. After getting the Virgos' hands in the air, Heather claimed J.Lo told them, "Thank you so much for coming," before they they "had to leave after a full day of auditioning for Jennifer Lopez." A longtime pro dancer herself, Heather admitted she wasn't in the room at the time but defended the claim by saying she's heard the same anecdote repeatedly from different dancers. She also explained to the host that auditions would often feature eight hours of grueling work, for which "you're not getting any money" while "people [are] judging you the whole time." Pressed as to whether she could confirm the story, Heather admitted, "This is hearsay but true," adding, "When one person says something, could be true [but] when multiple people say something … it's like, 'Oh, that happened.'"

'Star Trek' icon Nichelle Nichols to be launched into space on memorial space flight

Trailblazing "Star Trek" actress Nichelle Nichols — who played Communications Officer Lt. Nyota Uhura on the cult classic show — will get an appropriately galactic send-off later this year when her ashes and DNA are launched into deep space on Celestis Inc.'s Vulcan Rocket, the company announced this week. Nichelle had worked for many years to recruit minority astronauts, though she never traveled to space herself before she died at age 89 on July 30. Now, a portion of her remains and DNA are set to be included on a memorial space flight aiming to travel "between 150 million to 300 million kilometers into deep space," the company said, according to ET. Nichelle's ashes will accompany those of some of her former "Star Trek" colleagues, as well, including the show's creator Gene Roddenberry, his wife Majel Barrett Roddenberry, "Star Trek" engineer James "Scotty" Doohan, and Douglas Trumbull, of "2001: A Space Odyssey" fame, the outlet reported. Nichelle's son, Kyle Johnson, will also contribute a portion of his DNA on the mission so that he can be by his mother's side in spirit for her trip. "My only regret is that I cannot share this eternal tribute standing beside my mother at the launch," Kyle said in a statement. "I know she would be profoundly honored for this unique experience and enthusiastically encourage all of her fans to join us vicariously by contributing your thoughts, affections, memories, [Nichelle-] inspired successes, dreams, and aspirations via email to be launched with her on this flight!" After she became the first Black woman featured in a lead role on a network TV series on "Star Trek," Nichelle worked for NASA as a spokesperson for its space shuttle program, where Space.com notes she was credited with recruiting hundreds of women and minority astronaut candidates over her decades of service.

Britney Spears deletes Instagram ahead of Elton John release, vows to 'choose happiness' on Twitter

Once again, Britney Spears has stepped away from the 'Gram. The singer appears to have deleted her Instagram account one day before the Friday, Aug. 26, release of "Hold Me Closer," her new collaboration with Elton John. Moving over to Twitter, Britney promoted the release and vowed to "choose happiness," which apparently includes respecting the "space" she takes up while working to "forgive myself and others," likely a reference to the family members she's been at odds with since she started fighting to terminate the conservatorship she was under for 13 years. "Okie dokie … my first song in 6 years !!!! It's pretty d*** cool that I'm singing with one of the most classic men of our time … @eltonofficial," Britney tweeted on Wednesday, Aug. 24, as fans noticed her Instagram was no more. "I'm kinda overwhelmed… it's a big deal to me !!!" she continued. "I'm learning every day is a clean slate to try and be a better person and do what makes me happy … yes, I choose happiness today," Britney wrote in a second tweet. "I tell myself every day to let go of the hurt bitterness and try to forgive myself and others to what may have been hurtful," she explained. "I want to be fearless like when I was younger and not be so scared and fearful. I pray there actually is truth to the Holy Spirit, and I hope that spirit is with my children as well!!! Yes … I choose happiness and joy today!!!" The duo collaborated on Elton's 1971 hit, "Tiny Dancer," reworked and renamed for the 2022 update. "Thank you for your generosity and just thinking of me to join you on such a brilliant song!!!" Brit previously shared on Instagram in a post about the track. "How cool is it to be a background voice ON YOUR song!!! Sir Elton, I did it thanks to your genius, creative, and legendary mind!!!" Elton, for his part, pointed out that the younger star played a larger role than she'd suggested in the recording. "More than a background singer, darling," he wrote at the time, according to Entertainment Weekly. "Can't wait for everyone to hear what we've been working on!"

Olivia Rodrigo stuns Billy Joel fans in NYC with two surprise duets

Billy Joel fans at New York City's Madison Square Garden were treated to a sweet moment of mutual musical appreciation on Wednesday, Aug. 24, when Olivia Rodrigo made a surprise appearance onstage. "This is a very talented singer-songwriter," the Piano Man told the audience before listing some of the 19-year-old Grammy winner's accolades. "I like her music and so do my kids. Please say hello to Olivia Rodrigo!" The "Driver's License" singer then stepped out on the stage as the crowd roared, per video posted on social media. "Thank you so much for having me, Billy. I'm such a huge fan and I couldn't have written the next one without you, so thank you," Olivia said, taking a mic. With Billy, 73, back at the piano, she then launched into her single, "Deja Vu," in which the singer reminds an ex that he learned some of his romantic moves — including the Piano Man's 1983 hit "Uptown Girl" — from her. "Play her piano, but she doesn't know," Olivia sang, "That I was the one who taught you Billy Joel." She stuck around for one more duet as the two teamed up for "Uptown Girl."

Harvey Weinstein granted appeal in 2020 sex crimes conviction

A New York State court has granted Harvey Weinstein an appeal in the 2020 sex crimes conviction for which he's now serving a 23-year prison term, CNN reported on Wednesday, Aug. 24. The former Hollywood producer was convicted of third-degree rape and a first-degree criminal sexual act, stemming from claims made by former actress Jessica Mann and former production assistant Mimi Haley. Harvey's conviction was hailed by #MeToo movement leaders as having signaled an important shift in sexual assault survivors' legal rights. But Harvey has long maintained his innocence, and continued to do so in a statement released through his rep following the judge's new ruling. "I am innocent of these charges, and I am so grateful to my attorneys for working hard and smart work on this," the statement read. "Their hard work will help me prove my innocence in the end. I look forward to this opportunity to be heard by the The New York Court of Appeals." In a statement to NBC News, Harvey's lawyer, Arthur Aidala, said he and his team "are hopeful the entire court will find that Mr. Weinstein did not receive a fair trial and reverse his conviction." The 70-year-old Weinstein Company founder has been serving his sentence in Los Angeles, where he faces separate sexual assault charges. He's pleaded not guilty to those as well, according to CNN.

Barbie Ferreira announces 'Euphoria' exit amid rumored clash with Sam Levinson

Following many months of rumored tension between "Euphoria" star Barbie Ferreira and creator Sam Levinson, Barbie announced her departure from the hit HBO series this week on Instagram. In an Instagram Story post on Wednesday, Aug. 24, the actress shared a fan art creation by Hunter Schafer, aka "Euphoria's" Jules Vaughn, of her character, Kat, clad in bondage gear before a laptop. "After four years of getting to embody the most special and enigmatic character kat, I'm having to say a very teary eyed goodbye," Barbie wrote in the caption, per People. "I hope many of you could see yourself in her like i did and that she brought you joy to see her journey into the character she is today. i put all my care and love into her and i hope you guys could feel it. love you katherine hernandez." Fans quickly weighed in on Barbie's exit, which comes after Kat's storyline was drastically reduced despite her being a fan-favorite and frequently earning praise for her character's body and sex-positive perspectives. "Sam Levinson slept on Barbie Ferreira's talent and he'll 100% regret it when she becomes a huge star," wrote one person cited by Jezebel. The rumored clash between Barbie and Sam, detailed by an alleged insider on platforms like Reddit, as well as outlets including the Daily Beast, is said to have grown explosive, with Barbie allegedly walking off the set at one point. The show's second season kicked off in January; HBO confirmed in February that "Euphoria" will return for a third season.

LeAnn Rimes talks changing the narrative on women, aging and 'shame'

With her 40th birthday just around the corner on Aug. 28, LeAnn Rimes is ready to use her music to speak the truth about women, especially when it comes to taboo subjects like aging and sexuality. "There's such a narrative around women as we age, how we can become disposable," LeAnn recently told People. "That narrative is slowly changing, but I believe women like myself can lead an example of how vibrant life can be. Jane Fonda is on my vision board!" The country star's new album, "god's work," is about what she calls "all these emotions that we're told aren't polite," like guilt, rage and anger. "As women in this world, so much is ripped from us. I started to question all those narratives and bring my whole self back online and be whole in this world. And it feels very powerful," LeAnn explained. Inspired by a personal determination to separate who she really is from who she felt she was expected to be, the singer added: "The last several years of my life have been about untangling from what was put upon me from the outside world. I'd been upholding a public image for so long." Looking ahead, she said, "I want to talk about real things — aging and menopause and periods and sex. I want to see women powerful and contributing to this world and sharing their wisdom. It's time to make a shift."

Tucker Carlson, Billy Baldwin, John Legend, D.L. Hughley and more stars react to President Biden's student loan forgiveness decision

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Aug. 25, 2022August 25, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 3:02pm PDT, Aug 25, 2022

_

On Aug. 24, President Joe Biden made a major announcement regarding student loans: The United States will forgive $10,000 in student debt for those making under $125,000 a year. The decision will affect 43 million Americans. The POTUS called the forgiveness plan "reasonable and fair." Following the decision, several celebrities took to social media to applaud — and criticize — the decision.

Keep reading to see how some notable names feel about the student loan forgiveness plan…

_

"How does it make any sense to punish people who did the right thing who pad their loans off, Tucker Carlson said. "So what you're watching, as always, is class warfare. They reward the top and the bottom—people who don't need it and people who aren't trying—and crush the struggling middle, the law-abiding people who want to do the right thing."

_

"To pay for school, I was a bartender, lifeguard, landscaper, and drove a forklift in a warehouse. And I STILL took on student debt!! But now school costs have TRIPLED. Even working yourself to the bone can't cut it anymore. President Biden, this is critical: #CancelStudentDebt," Billy Baldwin tweeted. "Which party deserves your support in the midterms: The party that bails out billionaires? Or the party that bails out students?"

_

"Canceling student debt is a tax on the most responsible people in the country. Forcing people who worked hard to repay their loans or those who didn't have the luxury of going to college, to subsidize people who wasted $$$ on worthless gender study degrees is a slap in the face." –Donald Trump Jr.

_

"If you're fortunate enough to have already paid off your student loans or make too much money to qualify, it's still possible to be happy for people receiving some much needed relief. So many are weighed down by this debt. Let's celebrate the relief and then work toward making college affordable (or even FREE!) for everyone. It doesn't have to be this way. Other countries don't force people to be in debt for a lifetime to get an education." —John Legend

_

"We can't cancel student loan debt, all our money is being sent overseas." –Kevin Sorbo

_

"Ain't it weird that republicans are more angry about student debt being reduced by 10k, than they are about Texas offering a 10k bounty to snitch on someone who had an abortion?" –D.L. Hughley

_

"I am so happy for everyone who will have their debt wiped out! Education should be a pathway to a better life for many, not just a privileged few. #CancelStudentDebt" –Lynda Carter

_

"If he wealthiest humans in the planet can get 1.9 trillion. Free money from gov – Our gov can choose to STOP USURY – STOp predatory lending – odious debt – For middle class working class and poor Americans," John Cusack tweeted. "Today is just the [beginning] -imagine what people could do – if they weren't preyed upon by USURY."

_

"This is life changing news for millions of borrowers working to pay back their student loans. It's also a testament to @POTUS, his administration, and all the activists who've been calling for student debt relief for years." –Barack Obama

_

"Holy Handout" –Sean Hannity

_

"There is disagreement about student debt forgiveness. It's a hard pill for those who scraped to repay loans. We should all agree on & work towards solving underlying cause: college's too damn expensive, why many Americans are saddled w/crazy debt. Must be more accessible to all," Ana Navarro-Cardenas tweeted. On Aug. 25, she added, "In America, if you're not born rich, very smart or athletic, you borrow away your 1st-born for a degree. 22 year-olds graduate w/$200k debt. They'll spend their lives paying it back. It wasn't always like this. We must make college affordable to all -like most 1st world nations."

_

I already paid off my student loans but I'm so excited for those still in the fight. This will be such a blessing for so many people! #ThankYou @Potus @JoeBiden!" –Yvette Nicole Brown

_

"Let's have a nuanced debate on student loans, the cost of college, personal responsibility, & structural inequality. But if you're raging against 'government bailouts,' you may want to do a little Googling. A long list of groups have demanded handouts. First up: Wall Street." –Dan Rather

_

"Canceling thousands in debt is excellent. Now, let's make it so no one goes into debt in the first place. In CA we're: – Creating a College Corps–a debt-free pathway to college -Expanding middle class scholarships -Lowering student housing costs -Lowering textbook costs & more" –Gavin Newsom

'Below Deck' star removes breast implants after one ruptured, leaked toxins

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 25, 2022August 25, 2022

A "Below Deck" star has gone under the knife.

Rhylee Gerber, who joined the reality TV show in Season 6, revealed that she had breast explant surgery after one of her implants ruptured and started leaking toxins into her body.

Charles Sykes/NBCU Photo Bank via Getty Images

"I'm so ready to start feeling 100 percent. I don't even remember what 100 percent feels like anymore," she said on her Instagram Story following the procedure.

Throughout the week, the Bravolebrity shared her experience with her 130,000 Instagram followers.

"I am tired of the inflammation. I am tired of the random, sharp pains … and I'm tired of bloating for no f****** reason," she said in a video, according to Page Six. Rhylee said the implant in question "completely ruptured and leaking into my right breast capsule, which is probably why I felt a lot of nastiness."

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Rhylee Gerber (@thelifeofrhylee)

Rhylee, 37, suspects the implant ruptured last year.

"Scar tissue to the top left and right aided in keeping the toxins from spreading too quickly, possibly helping to save my body from further damage," she said, later adding, "So glad the ruptured silicone implant is out. I had no idea it was ruptured but realize that's likely why I had all the [sharp] pains."

Caitlyn Jenner has surprising take on trans golfer's fight to make LPGA Tour

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 25, 2022August 25, 2022

Caitlyn Jenner is throwing her support behind a trans golfer trying to make it into next year's Ladies Professional Golf Association Tour — and striking change from her thoughts on trans swimmer Lia Thomas competing in women's competitions.

"Every sport is different," the reality TV star told Fox News. "Golf is a totally different game [than swimming]. It is a game of touch and feel."

Willy Sanjuan/Invision/AP/Shutterstock

Caitlyn had been highly critical of Lia's participation in swimming events, but she feels that Hailey Davidson, the 29-year-old who underwent gender reassignment surgery last year, wouldn't have unfair advantage on the golf course.

"I've been very consistent with how I've tried to approach these transgender athletes. It really depends on the sport. Every sport is different," the former Olympian said. "Obviously, we saw with Lia Thomas, she had gone through male puberty, bigger cardiovascular system, it just wasn't fair. And fortunately, we won that one."

In Hailey's case, "She's playing by the rules," Caitlyn said, noting that the LPGA Tour allows for players who were not born female. Plus, Caitlyn doesn't foresee Hailey being the tour's superstar if she ends up being good enough to qualify for LPGA inclusion.

"Honestly, for me, the jury is still out on this one," Jenner said. "I don't think she's gonna be in a position where she's gonna be dominating on the LPGA tour. To be honest with you, those girls are so good. The top girls on Tour can beat probably 99.9 percent of the men out there. They're that good."

https://www.instagram.com/p/CfRlMxXOIXo/

Hailey, who played in a 2015 tournament as a male, competed in a LPGA qualifier tournament last week, but missed the cut for a tour card.

https://www.instagram.com/p/ChpuLEjOMzM/

In a statement, Hailey echoed some of Caitlyn's thoughts regarding the talent of the LPGA women.

"All the people who commented about me having an advantage over biologically born women have no idea how great these women are at their craft or it what it takes to be an elite golfer," she said. "In order to compete against these amazing female athletes, I will need to continue to work hard on my game, which I fully intend to do."

'The Wizard of Oz' turns 83: See the most stunning images of iconic star Judy Garland when she was young

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Aug. 25, 2022August 25, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 8:00am PDT, Aug 25, 2022

That gingham dress, those auburn ringlets, those satin hair bows: Judy Garland will forever be Dorothy Gale, the velvet-voiced Kansas girl who discovers there's no place like home, from the 1939 classic "The Wizard of Oz." But her life story — from child performer to global superstar to tragic figure — became a cautionary tale about the perks and perils of young stardom. The supremely talented singer, actress and dancer never found her happy ending; she married five times, struggled with substance abuse and died of an accidental overdose on June 22, 1969, at just 47. To celebrate the 83rd anniversary of her iconic film "The Wizard of Oz" on Aug. 25, 2022, join Wonderwall.com in looking back at the most stunning, iconic and delightful photos from Judy's younger days… Canine icon! A smiling Judy Garland cuddled Terry, the 6-year-old cairn terrier who played Toto in "The Wizard of Oz," on the 1939 film's set. After the movie, Terry's owner formally changed the pooch's name to Toto.

Keep reading to see the most incredible photos of a young Judy Garland…

Oh, baby! Cute-as-a-button Judy Garland was born Frances Ethel Gumm on June 10, 1922, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota. She was the youngest child of Ethel and Frank Gumm, vaudevillian performers who ran a movie theater that featured vaudeville acts.

_

Young Frances Ethel Gumm, aka Judy Garland (seen here in a 1926 portrait), was nicknamed "Baby" by her parents and big sisters Mary Jane and Dorothy Gumm. They all shared a flair for singing and dancing, and from the age of 2, Judy performed with her siblings in their native Minnesota as The Gumm Sisters before the family moved to California.

_

Frances Ethel Gumm — who would become known to the world as Judy Garland — had toured the vaudeville circuit with older sisters Dorothy Gumm and Mary Jane Gumm for years by the time they made their silver screen debut in the 1929 short film "Big Review." Keep reading for another amazing portrait of the trio…

_

Judy Garland (center) was still Frances Ethel Gumm when she posed with sisters Dorothy Gumm and Mary Jane Gumm, aka The Gumm Sisters, for this 1926 portrait.

_

Frances Ethel Gumm, pictured here on the far right with sisters Mary Jane Gumm and Dorothy Gumm around 1930, often stole the show while performing as The Gumm Sisters. The group transformed into the Garland Sisters at the World's Fair in Chicago in 1934, and Frances took on a new name: Judy Garland.

_

Judy Garland was a singing and acting powerhouse. But her appearance was a dilemma for MGM, the studio that signed her in 1935 when she was 13. At 4 feet, 11 inches tall, Judy's girl-next-door looks set her apart from her screen siren contemporaries including Ava Gardner, Lana Turner and Elizabeth Taylor. The young actress (seen here in a portrait taken circa 1936) was often photographed in plain garments or frilly girlish clothes to match her youthful image.

_

Judy Garland (seen here with, from top, Lana Turner and Hedy Lamarr, her co-stars in 1941's "Ziegfeld Girl") was talented and beautiful — but deeply insecure about her looks. Her insecurities were exacerbated by the attitude of MGM chief Louis B. Mayer, who cruelly referred to her as his "little hunchback."

_

Judy Garland often was made to wear removable caps on her teeth and rubberized discs to reshape her nose when she was photographed publicly. "Judy was the big moneymaker at the time, a big success, but she was the ugly duckling," Charles Walters, who directed her in a number of films, later revealed. "I think it had a very damaging effect on her emotionally for a long time. I think it lasted forever, really."

_

Fresh-faced teenager Judy Garland posed with a gaggle of canines in this 1937 promotional photo one of multitudes she would take at the request of the film studio that signed her, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

_

Judy Garland looked radiant playing baseball with fellow child stars Freddie Bartholomew and Cora Sue Collins in this 1935 photo.

_

This undated portrait of young Judy Garland from early in her career shows a serious side of the star that didn't always come through in the set-up studio shots of her playing with dogs, horsing around with fellow child stars and engaging in traditional youthful activities like baseball and jumping rope.

_

A radiant, confident Judy Garland posed for a studio portrait around 1945.

_

That gingham dress, those auburn ringlets, that satin hair bow: Judy Garland poses as Dorothy Gale in a classic portrait from the 1939 film "The Wizard of Oz."

_

Howdy, partner! Judy Garland wore a girlish smile — and a cowgirl costume — in this undated portrait from around 1937.

_

Two years after "The Wizard of Oz" brought her international acclaim, Judy Garland experimented with a glam look in a curly updo and black evening dress in this portrait from 1941.

_

Judy Garland wore a pretty dress to pose for a portrait around 1935, the year she was signed by MGM.

_

Adolescent Judy Garland, in a romper and headscarf, showed off her handstand skills in this photo taken in August 1936. During the '30s, Judy's carefully cultivated public image earned her the nickname "America's favorite kid sister."

_

Judy Garland and Deanna Durbin, her friend and co-star in the 1936 MGM musical short "Every Sunday," jumped rope like typical American teens in this undated promotional photo.

_

Natural beauty Judy Garland looked confident and content in this undated portrait.

_

Judy Garland had no formal vocal training when she became a star, but she was a natural talent who lit up in front of an audience (as she did here, performing in the 1936 film "Pigskin Parade"). "A really great reception makes me feel like I have a great big warm heating pad all over me," she explained in 1961. "I truly have a great love for an audience, and I used to want to prove it to them by giving them blood. But I have a funny new thing now, a real determination to make people enjoy the show."

_

Judy Garland was picture-perfect as she struck a casual pose on the tennis court for a promotional photo when she was 17.

_

Judy Garland gained new confidence in her 20s thanks in large part to MGM makeup artist Dorothy "Dottie" Ponedel. Judy was 21 when she met Dottie while starring in "Meet Me in St. Louis." After reviewing the tooth caps and rubber discs the star was made to use to change the look of her nose, the makeup artist told Judy — seen here getting a wardrobe and makeup touch-up on the set of the 1944 film — that the devices weren't needed, as she was "a pretty girl." Dottie became Judy's longtime makeup artist. Keep reading to see Judy's final look in the film…

_

Judy Garland, seen here with young Margaret O'Brien in 1944's "Meet Me in St. Louis," would go on to marry the film's director, Vincente Minnelli.

_

Judy Garland did her best to look candid as she perused the lunch menu at famed Hollywood eatery the Brown Derby in 1937 with fellow child star Jackie Cooper, with whom she would star in 1941's "Ziegfeld Girl."

_

A radiant Judy Garland skimmed the surface of a pool in this undated portrait from her youth.

_

Judy Garland was signed by MGM in 1935 but she grabbed the attention of studio executives when she sang a special arrangement of "You Made Me Love You (I Didn't Want to Do It)" to Hollywood heartthrob Clark Gable at a birthday party the studio had arranged for the actor. Her version was so incredible that she was asked to perform the song in the film "Broadway Melody of 1938."

_

Judy Garland's star was rising quickly when she appeared in the all-star extravaganza "Broadway Melody of 1938."

_

Judy Garland was friends with fellow child star Mickey Rooney for years before they were cast together as supporting characters in 1937's "Thoroughbreds Don't Cry." They would go on to appear in nine more films together — including 1940's "Strike Up the Band," which they were promoting in this undated photo.

Judy Garland looked stunning in a scene from the 1942 musical "For Me and My Gal." The actress battled with her weight for most of her life after MGM demanded that she constantly diet and reportedly would serve her only a bowl of soup and a plate of lettuce when she ordered a regular meal.

In 1938 at 16, Judy Garland was cast as Dorothy Gale in "The Wizard of Oz," the film based on the 1900 children's book by L. Frank Baum. MGM initially wanted to cast Shirley Temple, but she was working for 20th Century Fox and wasn't available — allowing Judy, and her timeless rendition of "Over the Rainbow," to become instant classics. Here the young actress is seen in a costume test photo for the movie.

Judy Garland shared a special bond — but never a romantic relationship — with her pal and frequent co-star Mickey Rooney. "There was more than a love affair," Mickey once explained. "It was so special. It was a forever love." Judy credited Mickey, who was more established professionally when they met in 1935, with giving her some of the best acting advice of her career: He told Judy to perform her lines "like you're singing it."

Judy Garland became a mom for the first time on March 12, 1946, when she welcomed daughter Liza Minnelli with her second husband, director Vincent Minnelli. "One of the biggest misconceptions about my mama is that she didn't provide me with a happy childhood," Liza once said. "There were highs and lows, for sure, but I can say I was very happy."

Judy Garland was glammed up by MGM for 1943's "Presenting Lily Mars." Instead of childish dresses, the actress — seen here in a publicity portrait for the film — was costumed in grown-up gowns and her hair was lightened and styled to look more like a classic Hollywood bombshell.

The adoration of fans meant everything to Judy Garland, pictured here entertaining civilian employees at the Philadelphia Navy Yard during a war bond drive in Philadelphia in 1944. But she found happiness elusive and once asked, "If I am a legend, then why am I so lonely?"

"My fondest memory of my mama was the conversations we had," two-time Oscar winner Liza Minnelli, seen here with mom Judy Garland in 1948, told Closer magazine in 2021. "As a teenager, I became her best friend and confidante. We would laugh and talk for hours."

"What I have sought is what the little girl I portrayed in the film was searching for in that land over the rainbow," Judy Garland (pictured with, from left, Ray Bolger as Scarecrow, Jack Haley as Tin Man and Bert Lahr as the Cowardly Lion) once said. "Happiness, contentment and peace of mind."

What Ben Affleck said about J.Lo and their kids in his wedding speech, plus more news

by Wonderwall.com Editors Wonderwall Aug. 25, 2022August 25, 2022

By Wonderwall.com Editors 6:40am PDT, Aug 25, 2022

Ben Affleck reportedly professed his love for Jennifer Lopez and her kids in moving wedding speech

Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez's second wedding weekend in Georgia included an "impassioned speech" by the groom in which he shared his belief that the two weren't meant to marry the first time around. Ben and Jen were initially engaged during their romance in the early aughts, but they ended up calling it off and marrying other people. When they reunited following their respective divorces, they each brought children from their previous relationships into each other's lives. According to an Us Weekly source, Ben, "[professed] his love for Jennifer and her kids and said the children are the blessing and gift that happened because they didn't get married before and that is proof that everything happens for a reason." (Jen shares twins Emma and Max with ex, Marc Anthony, while Ben shares Violet, 16, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 10, with ex, Jennifer Garner.) The newlyweds' celebration on Saturday, Aug. 20, came on the heels of their legal wedding in Las Vegas in July. They're reportedly enjoying a honeymoon in Europe this week.

Taylor Swift's 'Lover' mirrors 2010 book of the same name, lawsuit claims

Taylor Swift has been accused of stealing ideas and elements of her 2019 book "Lover" from a 2010 book of the same name by a woman named Teresa La Dart. In a new copyright infringement lawsuit, Teresa claims her 2010 release, which features poems, stories and photos of the author, bears multiple similarities to Taylor's 2019 companion book to her album, "Lover," TMZ reported on Wednesday, Aug. 24. As evidence, Teresa points to the books' shared title and color schemes — both are cast in similar blue and pink pastels — as well as the "style of photos" the singer used for her book's cover and foreword, which Teresa says match hers almost exactly. She further claims Taylor's book even seems to have lifted its concept from Teresa's 2010 release, which she describes in the lawsuit as a "recollection of past years memorialized in a combination of written and pictorial components." Noting that her book was "widely available" and could have been spotted by Taylor or a member of her staff, according to TMZ. Based on domestic book sales figures for Taylor's version of "Lover," Teresa is asking for "at least" $1 million in damages, per TMZ.

Jason Momoa says he's trying to hang onto his post-surgery 'dad bod'

Jason Momoa says he's mostly recovered from the hernia surgery he recently underwent — except for one thing. As the uber-chiseled "Aquaman" star told James Corden on Tuesday's "The Late Late Show," his mid-section isn't quite the paragon of abdominal perfection it once was. "All good," said Jason, 43, when the host asked about his recovery. "Not really doing sit-ups. Trying to keep that dad bod going for a little bit longer," he joked. James, however, wasn't having it. "You can't say you've got a dad bod! You can't. It's not a dad bod," he insisted. "Well, I don't want to do any more sit-ups!" Jason replied with a grin. At the 2022 Oscars in March, the Hawaii-born actor revealed he'd had hernia surgery just one day earlier after wrapping production on "Aquaman 2," according to the New York Post. Asked what caused the hernia, he semi-joked to "Extra" it was from "throwing bodies around," adding, "I'm getting old, bro. It ain't that CinemaCon from 2016, you know what I'm saying?"

Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz celebrate 'intense,' year-long romance with a trip to Italy

It's officially been one year since Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz sparked dating rumors with a series of hangouts in and around New York City last summer. Now, a source tells People things are getting "serious" as the pair enjoys some downtime together in Positano, Italy, this week. "They are very happy. Their careers are a big focus and they share this passion. When they are off, they are very low-key. They enjoy quiet date nights with friends but most often just hang out at home," says the People insider. "Channing is serious about Zoe. It's not a casual relationship. They have been exclusive for a long time." Over the weekend, the couple was photographed sharing a kiss on a yacht off the coast of Positano, where they were reportedly vacationing with Channing's daughter, Everly, 9. Another source predicts that while their "romantic relationship is quite intense and positive," they won't be "going public in a big way unless something forces it." Adds the insider: "They have enormous respect for each other above and beyond the romantic attraction." Zoe, 33, met Channing, 42, while casting her upcoming directorial debut, "Pussy Island," featuring both of the stars.

Demi Lovato says her team denied her request for rehab less than a year before she overdosed

Less than a year before she nearly died of an overdose, Demi Lovato says her management team refused her request for help, telling her she wasn't "sick enough" to go back to rehab and, presumably, stop working. In a candid interview on this week's "Call Her Daddy" podcast, the singer, 30, recalled that at one point she told her team she'd snuck out of her hotel room to binge and purge. Having already barred her from having food or phone and room service access in her room, Demi said her team "barricaded" her inside her hotel room so she couldn't "sneak out and eat" again. Demi said she even asked to return to rehab but was denied professional help, as well. "One time I said, 'I'm throwing up blood. I need to go to treatment, I need to get help.' And this was in like 2017 and this person looked at me and said, 'You're not sick enough,'" the singer recalled. "And I think that was his way of saying, 'No, you're not going back to treatment because if you do this will look bad on me.' And so I didn't. I didn't go back into treatment and you know, less than a year later, I ended up overdosing. And so I think it was just like I felt trapped." Looking back, Demi thinks she overdosed in 2018 as a way of regaining some sense of control. "I felt like I couldn't get out of this situation and my way of like blowing everything up was relapsing on drugs and alcohol cause they always said, 'If you use we're out,'" she admitted. "And I was like, 'Alright time to get out, bye.' I've learned a lot from that experience," Demi continued. "Like no one can control me anymore and I was under the control from 18 to 25 and those are years where you're trying to figure out your adulthood." Ultimately, though, Demi sees a silver lining in the trauma she's experienced. "I found my voice," she said, in part. "I feel empowered by what I went through because I had to grow and I had to learn to accept that I'm my own boss."

Mick Jagger pays tribute to Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts one year after his death

Mick Jagger shared on Twitter that he was "thinking of Charlie" on Wednesday, Aug. 24, the first anniversary of Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts' death at age 80. The Stones' frontman shared a video montage and message in honor of his late friend, as well, set to the band's 1974 track "'Till the Next Goodbye." "I miss Charlie… because he had a great sense of humor," Mick said over a stream of photos of the musicians as young men. "Outside of the band, we used to hang out quite a lot and have interesting times," Mick continued. "We loved sports, we'd go to football, we'd go to cricket games, and we had other interests apart from just music. But, of course… I really miss Charlie so much." Charlie joined the Rolling Stones in 1963 and continued playing with them until shortly before his passing last year, when his health was failing and he announced he wouldn't be touring with the band. Since his death in 2021, the Stones have continued to include a video tribute to the late drummer in their performances, according to Variety.

Nick Cannon announces he's expecting his tenth child

After admitting it's a "safe bet" he'll welcome three more kids this year, Nick Cannon announced he's expecting a child with Brittany Bell, making him a father of 10. "Time Stopped and This Happened. #Sunshine #SonRISE," Nick captioned a video post on Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 24. The clip showed the proud pop standing beside Brittany and occasionally giving her a kiss as she posed for maternity photos, showing off her bare baby bump. Nick also shares 5-year-old son Golden and 1-year-old daughter Powerful with Brittany. The "Wild N Out" star just welcomed a son, Legendary, with Bre Tiesi in June. His ex, Abby De La Rosa, with whom he shares twins, is reportedly also expecting a child with Nick before the end of the year (though with 10 children by five mothers, it's getting hard to keep track, tbh). As one of many amused commenters put it on the 'Gram, "I know that BIBLE said be fruitful and Multiply but D***!!!"

Bethenny Frankel doubles down on criticism of Kim Kardashian's skin care line

by Mark Gray Wonderwall Aug. 24, 2022August 24, 2022

Sorry, not sorry. Bethenny Frankel is standing by her criticism of Kim Kardashian's skin care line, and she's not afraid of the repercussions.

"I'm proud of myself for speaking my mind when it's not that easy to do so, when it can be scary and you're alone," she said in an Instagram video Wednesday, Aug. 24. "When everyone around you tells you not to say anything. You don't want to mess with these people, don't screw around, you have too much to lose."

The "Real Housewives of New York" alum continued, "You know what? I don't want to be a follower. I want to be me, who has an opinion and is honest and is straightforward. Cancel me if that's not gonna work, but I'm not gonna be afraid."

In confirming what she was talking about, Bethenny included the hashtags "Kardashian cleanse" and "Kardashian intervention."

The determined post comes after the Skinny Girl founder ripped Kim's new skin care line, Skkn, calling it "impractical at best" and "somewhat overpriced." In her criticism, she centered on the packaging of an egg-shaped eye cream.

"I don't have a circular house or medicine cabinet. It doesn't even have a flat bottom, so it's effectively like an egg," she lamented.

Bethenny was equally flummoxed by the packing of an exfoliator.

"You have to be a billionaire to use this product, because if you don't have a private plane, how are you traveling with this?" she asked. "It's just not practical."
