Khloe Kardashian appears to have DMed Tristan Thompson's alleged fling

Khloe Kardashian apparently wants to open up a dialogue with the woman who claims to have hooked up with Tristan Thompson earlier this year.

Sydney Chase recently shared a screenshot that appears to show Khloe contacting her. 

"Hey Sydney, this is Khloe…" the message began. The Instagram model, however, redacted the rest of the message.

The screenshot also shows Khloe allegedly writing, "I would appreciate if our conversation can remain confidential [prayer hands emoji]."

The NBA player has infamously cheated on Khloe several times before, including when she was pregnant with their daughter, True, in 2018. The latest cheating scandal surrounding Tristan kicked off after Sydney told the "No Jumper" podcast that they were intimate in January 2021.

"He told me he was not in a relationship anymore, so I said OK," she claimed. "We talked, we hung out multiple times, we went out together, everything." Sydney maintained that she knew who Tristan was and asked him directly if he was single and he responded, "Yes."

She said, "It happened, and then I found out he was not single, and I cut him off."

After news of the alleged tryst made headlines, Sydney doubled down on her claims and said Tristan reached out to her after the April 22 "No Jumper" interview. He also tried to contact her just a few weeks ago, she claims.

"Yes the Tristan rumors are true," she said on TikTok. "The last time we had contact — besides when he messaged me after finding out about the interview, it was the day after his daughter's birthday party [in mid-April]."

In her social media update, Sydney apologized for revealing deeply personal details about Tristan.

"That's not okay and I shouldn't have done that," she said. "Me answering the question about our past relations, that is true. We did have past relations; I then found out he was in a relationship and I ended things… In the interview, things got misconstrued while we were drinking. We first met [in] November — Nov. 11, to be exact — and that's when everything started."

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro catches break in domestic violence arrest

Ronnie Ortiz-Magro is breathing a little easier after the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office ruled that it doesn't have enough sufficient evidence to charge him with a felony following his recent domestic violence arrest.

The "Jersey Shore" star could still be charged with a misdemeanor, which would be a violation of his probation.

TMZ reports that the case has been kicked down to the L.A. City Attorney's Office, which will determine if a misdemeanor charge is warranted. 

"If this reporting is true, as we said from the beginning, initial reports and unreviewed charges are often and; in Ronnie's case, wrong," the reality TV star's attorney said. "We are glad the DA's office made this decision not to charge a felony. We will await a decision from the County Attorney's office."

On April 22, Ronnie was arrested following an alleged domestic incident in Los Angeles with his girlfriend, Saffire Matos. Shortly after, Saffire, who reportedly called 911 during the incident, said some of the reports about the arrest were "misleading." Ronnie later thanked his "real friends" who hadn't "betrayed" him.

The arrest could have real ramifications for Ronnie, who's currently on probation for a domestic violence incident in L.A. involving his ex, Jen Harley, with whom he shares a daughter. 

During that 2019 incident, Ronnie reportedly chased Jen with a knife during a moment of rage and allegedly threatened to kill her. At some point, police said he took their then-1-year-old daughter, Ariana, away from Jen and locked himself in a house they'd rented. Police eventually broke down the door, tased Ronnie and handcuffed him.

Last year, Ronnie struck a plea deal in the 2019 case, and he was given three years of probation that require him to keep his nose clean. This is where the new arrest could be highly problematic for him.

Dax Shepard lets Kristen Bell drug test him with 'no questions asked'

Dax Shepard has nothing to hide. Last fall, the former "Parenthood" star announced that he had relapsed after 16 years of sobriety. He's now taken steps to make sure his sobriety stays in tact.

In a chat with Self magazine, Dax's wife, Kristin Bell, said they have drug tests at home.

"[Dax said,] 'You can drug-test me whenever you want. I'm going to buy some tests. I'm going to have them in the house. If you ever feel nervous, I want you to have access to this and I'll do it, no questions asked,'" she told the mag.

Kristen has yet to make him take one. 

"He's just good at trying, and that's all you can ask of anyone. No one's perfect," she continued. "He's proven to me that he is committed to evolving and he loves personal growth."

Dax spoke of his relapse on his "Armchair Expert" podcast last September. At the time, he was recovering from several motorcycle injuries and admitted that he was getting "shadier and shadier" about his pill intake. He realized he was walking down a dark path when he started hiding his pill intake from his wife.

"I now start getting pretty visibly detoxy and withdrawly. And I lie and start saying I'm having an arthritis flare-up," he said. 

Not long after Dax's admission, Kristen gave Ellen DeGeneres an update on her husband of eight years. 

"He is actually doing really great. I mean look, everybody's up against their own demons. Sometimes it's anxiety and depression, sometimes it's substance abuse and the thing I love most about Dax is.. he was able to tell me and tell us and say we need a different plan," she said. "One of the main reasons I love him is he's also addicted to growth. He's addicted to evolving. He was like, 'I don't want to risk this family, and I did, so let's put new things in place to make sure it doesn't happen again.'"

Jana Kramer 'embarrassed' over divorce, will be 'destroyed' by co-parenting

Jana Kramer has "felt like a zombie" as the demise of her marriage plays out in the media. 

On May 3, the "One Tree Hill" alum released the first episode of her "Whine Down" podcast since filing for divorce from Mike Caussin after he allegedly cheated on her again. Now that the reality of her situation has set in, Jana is "embarrassed."

John Salangsang/Shutterstock

"I don't even know if I want to do the show anymore. I'm being completely honest," she said. "You know, I started this show by myself … and once Mike came on as a guest and we talked about our stuff, he said that he loved sharing. … And then it just felt like ours, so now it feels weird not having him on here."

On April 21, the country singer announced that she and Mike had split after six years of marriage. In her divorce paperwork, she said that infidelity was to blame. Sources later confirmed this with multiple media outlets. 

"I was a zombie, that was for two weeks. Now I go in and out of crying," she said on the podcast. "I didn't want this, at the end of the day. I think where I'm at is, I'm embarrassed. I'm embarrassed that this is how it ended, and then I also feel like I let people down. We've come on here, and we've fought, and we fought for it. But, really, the words that were spoken … they were honest from me, is what I'll say."

MediaPunch/REX/Shutterstock

Jana acknowledged on Monday that she stayed with Mike for the sake of their two children: daughter Jolie, 5, and son Jace, 2.

"I'm the weakest I've ever been. Maybe in the future, I'll feel that strength, but I went to my therapist a few weeks ago, like, 'Fine I'll live this life. I don't want to break up my family.' My whole thing is like, I didn't want this for the kids. I've stayed for my kids, even when other things happened," she said. "My therapist was like, 'You don't want to live that life … it's taking your life away.' I'm like, 'Yeah, but my kids. We'll be together.'"

Matt Baron/Shutterstock

In the emotional podcast, Jana also teared up while speaking about having to co-parent with Mike. While already thinking about the children's first overnight visit with their dad, Jana said, "I'm going to be destroyed. It's not what I wanted, it's not what I worked for and it's not [expletive] fair. That makes me so angry. I worked too damn hard for it to end this way."

Jana and Mike didn't exactly have a fairytale marriage, as he was involved in a cheating scandals and in multiple sexting scandals. There were accusations last fall that he was cheating again. Jana now feels "weak" for staying with him throughout all his indiscretions.

Additionally, she had "friends basically tell me they would lose respect for me" if she stayed with Mike. "And those were the friends that were like, 'We love you and support you no matter what.'" 

The marriage, she said, was akin to a drug. 

"I feel like now I'm the addict," she said on Monday. "I've never touched a drug before but that's what it feels like, where I'm just like, 'I need it.' … I don't even know what the healthy version [of a relationship] looks like anymore."

Lily James 'not really willing' to talk about Dominic West photo scandal

Lily James continues to face questions about those infamous photos with Dominic West from last year. However, the actress is staying mum on the topic. 

During a recent chat with the Guardian, the "Mamma Mia!" star was asked about the alleged fling. 

"Ach, I'm not really willing to talk about that," she said. "There is a lot to say, but not now, I'm afraid."

Anthony Harvey/Shutterstock

Last fall, Lily and Dominic — who's been married to Catherine FitzGerald for more than a decade — were spotted getting romantic while exploring Rome. Published pictures showed the "Affair" star caressing Lily's head and kissing her neck. Other images showed them sharing a ride on an electric scooter. At the time, The Daily Mail reported that Dominic, 51, and Lily, 32, spent two nights in a romantic suite at the Hotel De La Ville, which offers panoramic views of Rome and is close to the famous Spanish steps.

In the photos with Lily, Dominic was not wearing his wedding ring, leading many to wonder if he and Catherine had quietly separated. However, that wasn't the case. Hours after the photos of the alleged tryst were published, Dominic flew home to the United Kingdom. 

Then, on Oct. 13, he emerged from his house with his wife to show a united front. After he and Catherine kissed for photographers, the actor — still not wearing his wedding band — handed a paparazzi photographer a note signed by himself and his missus. It read, "Our marriage is strong and we're very much still together." 

In the wake of the scandal, Lily canceled several media appearances

Zac Clark's mom unfollowed Tayshia Adams on Instagram — find out why

Speculation that Zac Clark and Tayshia Adams were on the outs reached a fever pitch after his mother unfollowed the former star of "The Bachelorette" on Instagram. However, according to Zac, you can chalk up the drama to a good old fashioned accident.

Andrew H. Walker/Shutterstock

While on Barstool Sports' "Chicks in the Office" podcast, Zac dished on the social media mishap.

"My mom is 70 years old — loves a glass of Chardonnay. I call her and I'm like, 'Mom, what's going on? Why did you unfollow Tayshia?' And she's like, 'I didn't unfollow her,'" Zac said.

The 37-year-old thinks the accidental unfollowing happened because his mom was trying to get rid of some online ads.

"Tayshia has this podcast, 'Click Bait.' She said, 'I just kept getting all these things for Click Bait, and I didn't know what to do,'" Zac recalled. "She probably did it accidentally, but you know, these people are out there, sourcing this s–t all day long."

Zac makes is clear that all is well between him and Tayshia.

In March, Tayshia and Zac were hit with split rumors after she was spotted without her engagement ring. She quickly ended the speculation and explained that her band was getting resized. 

"Not gonna lie, I don't like getting DMs putting this weird energy into the universe," Tayshia said. "I love that there's so much love and support around our relationship but please don't put unnecessary rumors/pressure on us."

On Saturday, May 1, the "Game of Thrones" actress shared an Instagram post paying homage to their Las Vegas nuptials.

"Happy 2 year Vegas Wedding anniversary to this big ol hunk of man meat," Turner captioned a set of photos from their wedding — the first of two weddings — which took place after the Billboard Music Awards that night. 

In the first photo, the couple looks blissful in a pool, in their clothes. Also included in the set of throwback photos from their wedding — which was officiated by an Elvis impersonator — is their first kiss as man and wife at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas, Turner DJ-ing, and the 25-year-old dancing in a white robe with her new sisters-in-law Priyanka Chopra and Danielle Jonas (with a shirtless Diplo in the background).

Jonas reposted one of the photos to his Instagram story, showing his bride in her silk Bevza jumpsuit and rose colored glasses. "My queen," he wrote. 

The couple, who are now parents to daughter Willa, 9 months, followed the untraditional vows with another wedding at a French castle on June 29, 2019.

Vanessa Bryant celebrates late daughter Gianna's 15th birthday with charitable collection

On May 1, Kobe and Vanessa Bryant's second child, Gianna Bryant, would have turned 15 years old.

Gianna, who often went by Gigi, was killed last January in a helicopter crash along with her father and seven others. Since then, her mother and three sisters, along with scores of others, have worked to keep the teen basketball player's legacy alive. 

To mark what would have been her 15th birthday, her mom shared a photo of the two hugging and wearing sunglasses. 

"Dear Gianna, Happy 15th Birthday," she wrote. "I love you! I miss you everyday! I wish you were here with us. There are no words to express how much I miss you. I love you Mamacita!"

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

The basketball star's wife of nearly 19 years then posted of a photo of herself and daughters Natalia, Capri and Bianka all in matching sweatsuits and pink sneakers. 

"When I thought about how best to celebrate Gianna's birthday with so many who loved her, I knew it had to be a combination of sharing her bright and fun personality with her sense of purpose and passion that would help make a difference in this world," she explained. "Gianna was kind, energetic, a leader, and had so much MAMBACITA swag.  When I thought about who would help me capture her laid back yet girly-edge, I thought of female-owned @DANNIJO.  Two fun-loving sisters running a successful clothing line, they jumped on the opportunity to celebrate Gigi's birthday with us, completely pro-bono."

Bryant continued to explain that in honor of Gigi, they're launching a limited-edition MAMBACITA x DANNIJO tie-dye sweat set honoring her. The hoodie features #PlayGigisWay on the right arm (her basketball shooting arm) and her jersey number, #2, wrapped in a heart to symbolize her love for basketball and everyone she met. 

"It also represents the way we will forever hold Gianna in our hearts," she wrote on her Instagram Story. 

All proceeds from the collab will support the Mamba and Mambacita Sports Foundation, an organization that aims to create a positive impact for underserved athletes and young women in sports. 

"Gigi was especially motivated to change the way everyone viewed women in sports, and it's fitting that this capsule represents her values," Bryant explained. 

The collection has already gotten support from people like singer Becky G, Courtney Lopez, WNBA star Candace Parker and Miami Heat assistant coach Caron Butler.

Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan are fighting over "Magic Mike" profits

It's been a year and half since Channing Tatum and Jenna Dewan finalized their divorce, but they're still at odds over one of their biggest projects, "Magic Mike."

The couple, who were married for nine years before calling it quits in 2018, are heading to the courts to settle their dispute over the money made from the male stripper franchise, according to TMZ

Dewan and Tatum, who share daughter Everly, 7, disagree on how to split the assets from the business — which extends into the movie, live shows, and an upcoming reality show. The dancers, who met on the set of the 2006 movie "Step Up," were in an intense mediation in regards to how to divide up profits, but were unable to agree to anything other than the fact that they should leave this to the courts to decide. 

Warner Bros./Photofest

Tatum has been the face of the franchise, which launched with the 2012 movie, but Dewan argues that she supported him through helping him find the right choreographer for the live shows and uprooted her family to London during production, entitling her to reap the benefits of its success.

In legal docs obtained by TMZ, the 40-year-old dancer and mother of two is requesting a trial to settle a number of lingering issues following their November 2019 divorce, also including spousal support and a property settlement.

'Iron Chef' star's wife files for divorce

Cat Cora's wife says their marriage is overcooked, and she's filed for divorce.

TMZ reports Nicole Ehrlich filed divorce documents in Los Angeles earlier this week, ending her nearly three-year marriage to the celebrity chef.

Interestingly, the divorce filing comes less than a month after Cat gushed about Nicole on Instagram.

"I may not have won the battle, but everyday I'm winning with you and our family by my side," Cat captioned a picture, which she posted after she appeared on Food Network's "Tournament of Champions." She added that Nicole was "my rock, my dream, my love."

A few weeks prior, Nicole posted several photos with Cat on International Women's Day. "I am so grateful for my angels on earth and in heaven. I love you with all of me," she wrote.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CMK4v93p0Ex/

Cat and Nicole, a record executive, began dating in 2017 and tied the knot in the spring of 2018. Their marriage was somewhat thrust into the spotlight in the fall of 2020 when Cat claimed that her first wife, Jennifer Cora, was trying to "destroy" her.

After seeking a restraining order, Cat told Page Six that Jennifer had made her life "a nightmare that I can't wake up from."

"It's cyber-stalking, mental and emotional distress and abuse," she said at the time.

Like Cat, Nicole also sought a restraining order against Jennifer. "[Jennifer's] power and happiness come from making Cat miserable," Nicole said.

Jennifer Lopez hanging out with Ben Affleck after A-Rod split: Report

Jennifer Lopez is leaning on one of her famous exes in the wake of her latest split. That ex's name? Ben Affleck.

Matt Baron/BEI/Shutterstock

According to Page Six, the actor has been seen arriving at J.Lo's house in Los Angeles several times recently after supposedly getting picked up in her car. 

"Security picks him up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house," a source said.

For several months, Jennifer had been filming a movie in the Dominican Republic. Since she's returned to L.A., Ben's reportedly visited her three times. 

However, regardless of the semi-clandestine visits, an insider insisted that nothing is brewing romantically.

"They are friends … they've never not been," a source said.

Ben and Jen famously dated in the early aughts and got engaged in 2002. Dubbed "Bennifer," they split in 2004 and called off their engagement. Similarly, Jen was engaged to Alex Rodriguez, but she confirmed in mid-April that they split and ended their engagement. 

Jen has reportedly met with A-Rod since their breakup — spies indicated they had dinner on April 23. In fact, the singer has been speaking with many famous faces over the past few weeks. 

"When you're that famous, who are you going to talk to? People who you know — other famous people," a source said.

Back in 2014, Jen spoke about her romance with the Oscar winner, saying the split was "probably my first big heartbreak."

Two months after COVID, Trisha Yearwood still can't smell or taste

Trisha Yearwood is still feeling the effects of the coronavirus.

More than two months after she tested positive for COVID-19, the country singer still can't taste or smell, which is a common side effect for those who contract the virus (although most people regain their senses within a few days).

"Food is kind of different right now," she told Kelly Clarkson. "I lost my taste and smell."

Trisha, who's married to Garth Brooks, discovered that she could no longer taste things after sipping on a cup of java.

"About five days in, I'm like, 'Honey,' cause Garth makes my coffee every morning, I'm like, 'I love you but did you… this is weak coffee," she recalled. "It was just like that."

In February, Garth confirmed that his wife had tested positive for COVID-19. In early March, she announced that she had finally tested negative. While she now feels fine, the fact that she no longer has two of her senses is an odd symptom.

"It's been about eight weeks," she said. "I can tell if something's spicy, that's about it. Lots of hot sauce."

Matt Baron/Shutterstock

The fact that Trisha can't taste is particularly interesting, as she authors cookbooks and is the host of Food Network's "Trisha's Southern Kitchen." For now, she relies on her husband to help her in the kitchen.

"I love to cook so now when I cook I just ask Garth, tell me if it needs more salt and pepper," she explained. "It's the weirdest thing."

Victoria Beckham 'would rather die' than use Justin Bieber's gift

Thanks, but no thanks.

Earlier this week, Victoria Beckham shared a picture of a pair of lilac-hued Drew House Crocs that she received as a gift from Justin Bieber. The crocs, while in high demand, don't seem to meet Posh's threshold for wearable clothing.

Shutterstock

"Never worn a pair of Crocs. This did make me laugh, I mean, it is the thought that counts. Thank you so much," she said in her Instagram Story. The former Spice Girl then polled her followers and asked if she should wear the shoes, which came with teddy bear and rabbit Jibbitz charms. Although fans voted against her adding the Crocs to her wardrobe, Victoria was surprised how close the poll actually was (43 percent said she should wear them, versus 57 percent who said otherwise).

"Well that was close!," Victoria wrote. "I think I'd rather die but thank you anyway @justinbieber."

Proving that she holds no ill toward toward Justin or his style, she then wrote, "The Beckhams still love you, @justinbieber!"

While the shoes aren't exactly Victoria's style, they are a favorite among other people — they sold out instantly after their release last month.
