Cooper Koch just dropped a whopper of a story that’s got everything: true crime vibes, Kim Kardashian’s whirlwind scheduling powers, and the Menendez brothers. Yes, those Menendez brothers.
Fresh off his role as Erik Menendez in Netflix’s Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, the 28-year-old actor found himself living out a plot twist even Ryan Murphy couldn’t dream up—meeting the infamous brothers in person. And who facilitated this bonkers meet-up? None other than reality TV icon, beauty mogul, and part-time lawyer, Kim Kardashian.
How Did This Even Happen?!
According to Cooper, it all went down faster than you can say “Kim K legal reform tour.” In an interview with Paper Magazine, he called the experience “pretty surreal” (read: “I still can’t believe this was my life for a day”).
“It was a pretty crazy day,” he gushed. “All I can say is I’m just so grateful for her, and I will owe her for the rest of my life that she made that happen and so quickly.”
Here’s the play-by-play: Cooper got a call from his stylist Jamie (because of course your stylist is your prison visit plug), and two hours later, a plan was locked in. “She called me on Monday, and by Saturday, we were meeting the Menendez brothers. I mean, who does that? Kim Kardashian does that.”
Kim K: Legal Eagle Extraordinaire
If you thought Kim’s passion for prison reform was just for her social media feed, think again. Cooper couldn’t stop raving about her dedication. “Her passion for prison reform and incarcerated individuals is so inspiring,” he said, before probably whispering to himself, “And also mildly terrifying in how efficient she is.”
Apparently, this experience is up there with the best moments of his life—right next to hosting Netflix watch parties of his own show. “That day, and then watching the entire show with my friends and family, were the two best days so far,” he said.
Cooper’s Future: Big Plans, Top Secret
What’s next for our Erik Menendez-in-real-life visitor? Well, don’t hold your breath for specifics because Cooper is playing it cooler than a Hollywood agent dodging bad scripts.
“I have some stuff in the works,” he teased. (Translation: Stay tuned, because I’m not spilling yet.) He added, “I’m being very careful and selective. I’m in it for the long haul—not just chasing paycheck after paycheck.”
Cooper wants to focus on roles that light his creative fire. “I’ll wait two years if I have to,” he declared, probably making every casting director sweat a little.
Final Thoughts
Cooper Koch went from playing a convicted murderer to hanging out with the real deal, thanks to Kim Kardashian’s superhero-level legal reform hustle. He’s now ready to conquer Hollywood, one strategic, passion-fueled role at a time.
If this is his “slow and steady” phase, we can’t wait to see what happens when he hits full speed. Stay tuned—and maybe start brushing up on your legal jargon. You never know when Kim might call you for an emergency mission.
Cooper Koch Spills the Tea on Menendez Brothers Hangout with Kim Kardashian and Hints at Mysterious Career Moves
Jamie Foxx just dropped a bombshell about his scary 2023 health saga, and it’s a real-life plot twist that no Netflix movie could compete with. Turns out, the 56-year-old superstar wasn’t just taking a casual sick day on the set of Back in Action—he was battling a brain bleed that caused a stroke. Yikes.
Let’s rewind to the fateful day: April 11. Jamie was in Atlanta, Georgia, casually preparing to be amazing (as usual), when he got hit with a headache so bad it made a hangover look like child’s play. Naturally, he asked one of his boys for an aspirin. Big mistake. “I quickly realized when you’re in a medical emergency, your boys don’t know what the f— to do,” Jamie spilled in his new Netflix special, Jamie Foxx: What Had Happened Was…. Before he could even pop the aspirin? BAM—lights out. Jamie didn’t wake up for 20 days.
When Dr. Yelp is Not Available
The first doctor Jamie saw? Oh, just a guy who handed him a steroid shot and sent him packing. Jamie’s review? Brutal: “What the f— is that? I don’t know if you can do Yelps for doctors, but that’s half a star.” Pro tip: if you’re ever Jamie Foxx’s doctor, bring your A-game—or at least Google something before winging it.
Luckily, Jamie’s sister, Deidra Dixon, wasn’t playing around. She knew something was seriously wrong and dragged him to Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta. And thank goodness for that. Jamie credits the hospital staff with saving his life and even got emotional talking about it: “Y’all saved my life just 400 yards away from here. They put me back together again.”
Heaven? Hell? Or Just Hot?
While unconscious, Jamie had an out-of-body experience that was not the peaceful, harp-filled scene we’ve all been promised. “Your life doesn’t flash before your face. It was kind of oddly peaceful,” he said. But then things got spicy—literally. “I saw the tunnel. I didn’t see the light. I was in that tunnel, though. It was hot in that tunnel. S—, am I going to the wrong place in this mother——? Because I looked at the end of the tunnel, and I thought I saw the devil like, ‘Come on.’”
A Comeback Worth Applauding
Doctors worked a miracle, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing. Jamie woke up on May 4 (cue Star Wars memes), confused and in a wheelchair. “I couldn’t walk. I was like, ‘Why the f— am I in a wheelchair?’ I’m just coming out of s—.” The recovery was grueling, and Jamie admitted, “The doctors told me it would be the worst year of my life.” But look at him now—living proof that you can’t keep a good Foxx down.
The story behind the headlines. Jamie Foxx faced death, told the devil to chill, and came back swinging. Somebody get this man a five-star doctor and an even bigger trophy for resilience.
Austin Butler’s hair has officially left the chat. That’s right, the “Elvis” star stunned fans and follicles alike when he waltzed onto the red carpet looking like a freshly polished billiard ball. Why? Apparently, honoring his Dune: Part Two director Denis Villeneuve at the 2024 SFFILM Awards Night demanded a bold, aerodynamic new look.
Austin, now rocking a shiny dome so reflective it might double as a disco ball, presented Denis with the prestigious Irving M. Levin Award for Film Direction in San Francisco. While his cranium was gleaming under the event lights, he stood alongside a star-studded lineup that included Denis’ wife, producer Tanya Lapointe, SFFILM Director of Programming Jessica Fairbanks, and Executive Director Anne Lai. Together, they posed for photos that will live forever in the annals of Hollywood’s most hairless surprises.
The last time we checked, Austin’s golden locks were still living their best life, flowing freely and giving beachy vibes. Now, they’re presumably off somewhere sipping piña coladas, enjoying early retirement. It’s giving “New Year, New Me” energy — three weeks early.
As for Dune: Part Two, the sci-fi epic isn’t just about spice and sandworms; it’s also racking up accolades. The film snagged two Golden Globe nominations for Best Picture (Drama) and Best Original Score. Will Austin’s bold look bring extra buzz to the January 5 awards ceremony? One can only hope he doesn’t blind the audience with his luminous scalp under the stage lights.
In the meantime, we wish Austin’s hair the best of luck in its future endeavors. Let’s just say his new style might make him an unofficial spokesperson for beanies this winter.
Jeremy Allen White—yes, The Bear guy—has officially signed up to play Jabba the Hutt’s kid. You heard that right. The Emmy-winning actor is swapping Chicago kitchens for a galaxy far, far away to slime it up as Rotta the Hutt, aka Jabba’s offspring, in the upcoming The Mandalorian & Grogu movie.
According to Deadline, Jeremy won’t just be phoning it in with a quick cameo. Nope, he’s got a notably sized role. (Does that mean Jabba-sized? Asking for a friend.) While it’s not clear if we’ll see Jeremy in some kind of horrifying slug suit or just hear his voice slathered in CGI magic, one thing’s for sure—he’s about to make the most bizarre career pivot since Daniel Radcliffe started wielding accordion guns.
Joining Jeremy in this intergalactic casserole of chaos are Pedro Pascal (obviously, because it’s not The Mandalorian without him) and Sigourney Weaver, who might just wrestle an alien again for old times’ sake. Jon Favreau is directing this space spectacle, and if his past work is anything to go by, we’re in for something that’s equal parts epic and absurd—just the way we like it.
Mark your calendars and prepare your popcorn, because The Mandalorian & Grogu is crash-landing in theaters on May 22, 2026. In the meantime, start speculating wildly about how Jeremy Allen White will bring emotional depth to the role of a giant space slug. Will Rotta be the misunderstood emo teen of the galaxy? A foodie looking to expand Jabba’s crime syndicate into Michelin-star territory? One thing’s for sure: Star Wars just got a whole lot weirder, and honestly, we’re here for it.
Jeremy Allen White Slimes His Way Into ‘Mandalorian & Grogu’ as Jabba the Hutt’s Son
Tina Knowles, the matriarch of all things Beyoncé, is officially here to set the record straight after being accused of “liking” a scandalous post about Jay-Z. And let’s just say, Mama Tina did NOT come to play.
The post in question? A spicy Instagram allegation involving Jay-Z and Sean “Diddy” Combs in a lawsuit claiming they assaulted a teenager back in 2000. Jay has already denied the claims, but the Internet, being its messy self, noticed what they thought was Tina pressing that little heart button. Cue the drama.
But don’t think Tina’s about to let anyone drag her into a social media circus. She pulled out her metaphorical megaphone—aka Instagram—and declared: “I was hacked.” Yep, the ultimate plot twist.
In her post, Tina kept it short, sweet, and spicy: “As you all know, I do not play about my family. So if you see something uncharacteristic of me, just know that it is NOT me!” Translation: Y’all better not test Mama Bear.
And just in case her words weren’t enough, she added a little biblical heat in her caption: “Please stop playing with me!!! ‘No weapon formed against my family shall prosper.’” Basically, Tina just hit us with a spiritual cease-and-desist.
This isn’t Tina’s first rodeo in the wild world of social media misunderstandings. Let’s not forget the time she allegedly responded to Dolly Parton after Beyoncé was snubbed by the CMA Awards. Spoiler alert: she also shut that down faster than you can say “Lemonade.”
Moral of the story? Don’t mess with Tina Knowles-Lawson, her Instagram, or her family. Period.
Somewhere in Los Angeles, the glow of a newly minted two-time Golden Globes nominee is shining brighter than a Sephora highlighter on sale. Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old actress, singer, and now dual threat awards season darling, just snagged herself nominations in two categories: Best Supporting Actress for her role in Emilia Pérez and Best Actress in a TV Series (Comedy/Musical) for making Only Murders in the Building the coziest murder show since…well, ever.
After what we assume was an epic dance party (featuring her iconic Love You Like a Love Song playlist), Selena popped into SiriusXM studios on Monday to, you know, remind us she’s casually living her best life. Sporting a brown suede jacket, white T-shirt, and jeans, Selena’s look screamed, “I’m famous, but also relatable,” which is basically her brand at this point.
While at the studio, she struck her best “I’m totally humble but yes, bow down” pose with hosts Jess Cagle and Julia Cunningham.
Over on social media, Selena brought her A-game to the humblebrag Olympics. “I don’t even know what to write,” she said (sure, Selena, like you don’t have a publicist on speed dial). She gushed about how proud she is of her Emilia Pérez co-star Zoe Saldana and thanked the Golden Globes for recognizing her talent—and probably her impeccable comedic timing on Only Murders.
Moral of the story: Selena Gomez is out here winning awards, serving casual-but-chic vibes, and proving once again that 2025 is officially The Year of Selena. Now, excuse us while we practice our acceptance speeches for imaginary awards.
Daniel Craig, aka Mr. Smooth Martini Man, is officially trading in his 007 license to kill for a license to act very differently in his new movie Queer. But before you get too excited imagining Bond doing interpretive dance in a pastel suit, Daniel is here to shut that fantasy down. He just explained why this project could never have happened while he was in his secret-agent era.
Let’s rewind: Daniel, now 56 (and somehow still aging like a fine wine), played James Bond in a series of blockbusters, wrapping up his tenure with 2021’s No Time to Die. During a recent chat with the Sunday Times, he explained why Queer would’ve been a no-go during his martini-sipping, Aston-Martin-crashing days.
“I couldn’t have done this while doing Bond,” Daniel said, with the kind of seriousness usually reserved for a villain monologue. Why? “It would look reactionary, like I was showing my range.” Translation: Audiences would’ve thought he was pulling a look-at-me-I’m-so-ARTISTIC move, and Bond doesn’t do desperate.
Daniel also spilled the tea on the Bond Effect—a strange phenomenon where, suddenly, everyone wants to cast you in everything. “It was incredible to get those offers,” he admitted, before adding a plot twist: “But those roles left me empty.” (Cue the dramatic violins.)
And let’s not forget the Bond Burnout: “At the end of a Bond, I was so exhausted it would take me six months to recover emotionally,” Daniel revealed. Apparently, pretending to save the world while looking that good is utterly draining.
Oh, and don’t think for a second he regrets taking the paychecks. He got paid, okay? Like, PAID paid. But it came at a cost: “Life must come first,” he said, before admitting that when work did take the top spot, it “strung me out.”
Daniel Craig’s Bond days were all about fast cars, suave tuxedos, and existential crises. Now, he’s diving into new roles like Queer—because even former super-spies need a change of pace.
Daniel Craig Gets Candid About Why “Queer” and James Bond Were Never Gonna Be Besties
Oh, Hollywood, prepare your red carpets because the Carters are here to slay—not just your fashion sense, but apparently, the box office too. Beyoncé and Jay-Z made a rare (and we mean R-A-R-E) red carpet appearance to support their prodigy daughter, Blue Ivy, at the Mufasa: The Lion King premiere. Yes, Blue Ivy, 12 years old and already snatching roles and edges, is basically the queen of Hollywood at this point.
Blue Ivy: The Cub Turned Queen
Blue Ivy is out here voicing Kiara, Simba and Nala’s daughter, because duh—what else would the heir to the Carter dynasty be doing? Meanwhile, Beyoncé is reprising her role as Nala because, as we all know, no one tells Beyoncé “no” (and survives to talk about it).
The plot? Oh, just Rafiki spilling some juicy ancestral tea to Kiara about her legendary grandpa, Mufasa. It’s basically The Lion King meets Ancestry.com, but make it epic.
Mama Bey hopped onto Instagram to shower her baby girl with love:
“My gorgeous baby girl. This is your night. You worked hard and you did such a beautiful job as the voice of Kiara. Your family could not be prouder. Keep shining.”
Translation: “Bow down, peasants. My kid’s voice is more iconic than your entire life.”
Jay-Z’s Side Quest: Denying Allegations in Style
This glitzy family outing came a day after Jay-Z was dragged into a lawsuit, which he’s calling a “blackmail attempt.” Naturally, the man didn’t just deny it; he released a statement so lengthy, it probably needed its own red carpet. While the world debated the claims, Jay-Z showed up in Hollywood looking unbothered, proving that family premieres > drama.
The Whole Crew’s Here!
Also spotted: Tina Knowles, Beyoncé’s mom and part-time “don’t mess with my family” squad leader. Hours before the event, she casually announced that her Instagram got hacked. Classic Tina—fighting off digital chaos by day, slaying premieres by night.
Mark Your Calendars Mufasa: The Lion King hits theaters on December 20. Expect stunning visuals, Blue Ivy’s powerhouse voice, and Beyoncé’s name in the credits, reminding us she’s the queen of everything—including animated lions.
The Carter family: thriving, surviving, and outshining us all, one premiere at a time. 🦁✨
Beyoncé, Jay-Z, and Blue Ivy: The Royal Family of Cool Crash the ‘Mufasa’ Premiere
Luigi Mangione, a 26-year-old former Ivy League whiz kid, has been officially charged with the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
Where was this alleged mastermind nabbed, you ask? At a McDonald’s in Altoona, Pennsylvania, presumably between bites of a McChicken and sips of a large Sprite.
McDonald’s Employee: From Fry Cook to Hero
The arrest came thanks to an eagle-eyed McDonald’s employee who recognized Luigi from the “Wanted” photos that had been plastered across the news. The unsung hero, who was probably just trying to get through their shift without another ice cream machine breakdown, alerted authorities when they spotted Luigi casually dining like he wasn’t the subject of a massive manhunt.
When officials apprehended him, Luigi wasn’t exactly traveling light. He was carrying multiple fake IDs, a 3D-printed gun (because apparently regular guns are too mainstream), and a manifesto outlining his very spicy takes on the healthcare industry. Move over, Yelp reviews—Luigi had thoughts.
The Wobbly Alibi
Deputy Chief of Police Derek Swope gave the press the scoop on Luigi’s less-than-stellar poker face. When asked if he’d been in New York recently, Luigi reportedly started shaking like a leaf in a hurricane. “He became visibly nervous, kind of shaking at that question. And he didn’t really answer it directly,” Swope said, proving that Luigi might not be cut out for a career in high-stakes bluffing.
For context, the photo making the rounds was snapped in his holding cell after the arrest, where Luigi looked about as pleased as someone who just found out McFlurry machines are actually broken.
The Charges Are No Happy Meal
Luigi is now facing a legal combo platter of five charges, including:
– One count of murder
– Two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon
– One count of second-degree possession of a forged document
– One count of third-degree criminal possession of a firearm
CNN reports that this laundry list of accusations could keep Luigi behind bars for a very, very long time.
Mangione Family: Shocked, Saddened, and Silent (Mostly)
As Luigi’s legal woes unfold, his family has released a statement expressing their devastation over his arrest. The statement, shared on X (formerly Twitter, but we’re all still calling it Twitter), came courtesy of Luigi’s cousin, Maryland state delegate Nino Mangione.
The family wrote: “Unfortunately, we cannot comment on news reports regarding Luigi Mangione. We only know what we have read in the media. Our family is shocked and devastated by Luigi’s arrest. We offer our prayers to the family of Brian Thompson and we ask people to pray for all involved. We are devastated by this news.”
Translation? “We’re as confused as everyone else and currently Googling ‘how to handle family scandals’ on repeat.”
What’s Next?
Luigi’s future looks about as grim as a stale McNugget. With a manifesto in hand and a very shaky alibi, it’s safe to say that his Ivy League days are far behind him. For now, all eyes are on the upcoming trial, where we’ll see if Luigi’s defense team can whip up something stronger than his alleged fast-food escape plan.
Stay tuned—this case has more layers than a Big Mac. 🍔
Law Roach—the undisputed Wizard of Wardrobes—is back at it with his most glamorous muse, Zendaya, and honey, they are not here to play. Despite the dramatic announcement of his retirement in 2023 (which lasted about as long as a New Year’s resolution), Law is still in the styling trenches, prepping Z for a jaw-dropping return to the awards season red carpet.
Picture this: Zendaya, now a seasoned 28-year-old queen of the big screen, is once again ready to remind the world why the carpet needs her. With a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress already secured, Law and Zendaya are gearing up to serve the kind of looks that make us mere mortals question why we even bother getting dressed at all.
In a recent chat with Page Six Style (because where else would one spill such stylish secrets?), Law teased that their glam game was already in the works. “Whatever it is, and whenever it comes, we’ll be ready,” he said. Translation: We’re about to witness lewks so fierce they’ll have their own gravitational pull.
While the awards shows haven’t fully rolled out their nomination carpets yet, Zendaya’s performances in Challengers and Dune: Part Two have already started raking in nods like it’s harvest season. Between the sci-fi sandworms and steamy love triangles, she’s proving she’s not just a fashion icon but also Hollywood royalty.
But don’t go harassing Law for spoilers—he’s tighter-lipped than a model in a corset. “No details,” he declared, probably while strutting off into the sunset wearing a pair of limited-edition sneakers that cost more than your rent.
So, buckle up and grab some popcorn because Zendaya and Law are coming, and they’re about to make awards season their personal runway. The rest of us? We’ll be on the sidelines, furiously Googling how to replicate their magic with our discount department store finds.
Law Roach Spills Tea on Dressing Zendaya for Awards Season 2025
Alert the world: Damiano David, the Italian heartthrob and rockstar extraordinaire, is ditching group projects for a minute and going full solo star with a global tour. Yes, your favorite frontman from Måneskin is packing his bags, his mic stand, and probably an absurd number of leather pants to serenade the masses across five continents.
Where’s Damiano Going? Everywhere
The tour kicks off on Thursday, September 11, in Warsaw, Poland, and from there, it’s a whirlwind of continents. Europe? Check. Australia? Pack your sunscreen. North America? Absolutely. South America? Si! Asia? Of course. By the time he’s done, there won’t be a single timezone left untouched by his smoky voice and smoldering eyeliner.
North American fans, start hyperventilating now: the last leg begins in Mexico City on November 17, and wraps up in Washington, D.C., on December 16. Imagine ending your year with Damiano staring deep into your soul while hitting a high note. We’ve peaked as a civilization.
Damiano’s Excited—Like, Really Excited.
In a statement that somehow wasn’t set to dramatic orchestral music, Damiano said:
“I’m beyond excited to announce my first-ever world tour as a solo artist. I can’t wait to connect with all of you in person and share my new music. Every city is going to be a celebration of the music, the fans, and the journey we’re all about to go on together. See you out there!”
Translation: Bring tissues. You’re going to cry, scream, and possibly faint from all the vibes.
How Do You Get Tickets Without Selling a Kidney?
Damiano is making sure everyone has a shot at seeing him without resorting to black-market shenanigans:
– Verizon Customers: If you’re on Verizon, congratulations, your phone plan is now cooler than you. Early bird presale tickets drop Tuesday, December 10, at 10 a.m. local time via Verizon Access.
– Citi Cardholders: Break out that credit card! Your presale starts Tuesday, December 10, at 10 a.m. and runs until Monday, December 16, at 9 a.m..

– Everyone Else: If you enjoy living dangerously, the general sale begins Monday, December 16, at 10 a.m. local time.
May the odds be ever in your favor.
What’s Damiano Been Up To?
Besides planning this epic tour, Damiano has been busy being, well, iconic. He just dropped his debut solo single “Born With A Broken Heart” (because, of course, he’s emotionally deep), collaborated with Labrinth on a track called “Silverlines”, and somehow found time to become Diesel’s first-ever global male ambassador. Oh, and he designed a capsule collection with Diesel’s creative director. Who knew heartbreak came with a fashion line?
2025 Tour Dates!

Camila Cabello’s short-lived blonde adventure didn’t just turn heads—it also turned her hair into a crunchy snack, apparently. The “I LUV IT” songstress, who momentarily stepped into the platinum club earlier this year, revealed that her foray into the lighter side of life came at a hairy price. Literally.
Let’s rewind. Back in February, Camila unveiled her shockingly bright ‘do to signal a whole new vibe for her album, C, XOXO. Fast forward to the MTV VMAs in September, and the blonde was gone, replaced by her signature dark locks—rest in peace, bleach-blonde dreams.
But why the switcheroo, you ask? On December 7, during her Tribeca Storytellers: Camila Cabello in Conversation event at Art Basel Miami Beach, Camila cracked open the hair-raising truth.
Blonde Ambition Gone Wrong
“I did love being blonde… in the beginning. In the beginning,” she dished, making it clear that the honeymoon phase with her hair color was shorter than a TikTok trend. “But then, it starts looking like rope real quick—like a horse is about to snack on it. Like, ‘Ooh, yummy salad!’”
Yes. Camila likened her blonde hair to horse food. And honestly? We’ve all had bad hair days, but this one sounds like it needed a saddle and some hay to complete the look.
She went on to confess that she had no idea what she was signing up for: the upkeep, the damage, the daily struggle to keep her hair from staging a rebellion. “It fries your hair,” she lamented. “Like, crispy fries, but make it sad.”
Operation Hair Rehab
Now firmly back in brunette territory, Camila admits the recovery process has been… a journey. “It’s going to take a long time to rebuild my beautiful, beautiful hair,” she said, her tone dripping with regret and perhaps a hint of post-traumatic bleach disorder.
The singer debuted her rehabilitated dark locks at NYLON House during Miami Art Week on December 6. She looked fab, as always, but let’s pour one out for the platinum phase that could’ve been.
Moral of the Story?
Blonde may have more fun, but brunette? Brunette doesn’t have to apologize to their hairdresser every other week.
Let this be a cautionary tale: Think twice before you bleach, and if your hair starts looking like horse snacks, maybe it’s time to call it quits.
Camila Cabello Spills the Tea on Her Brief Blonde Era: Hair Trauma, Salad Comparisons, and Rope Realities
The Swifties gathered in Vancouver like it was the last night on Earth, bracing themselves for a monumental announcement from Taylor Swift. A new album? A surprise documentary? A Taylor-branded line of toaster ovens? Nope. Nada. Zilch. The biggest reveal of the night? Taylor loves Vancouver and… emotions.
The Stage Was Set, But No Big News Dropped
Taylor Swift, the queen of Easter eggs and secret messages, wrapped up her Eras Tour in Vancouver’s BC Place Stadium on December 8, 2024. It was her 149th show, and fans were so sure she’d drop a bombshell announcement. Reputation (Taylor’s Version)? Maybe Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version)? Instead, all they got was a reminder that Taylor knows how to keep us all living in a state of constant suspense.
Oh, and get this: December 8, 2024, marked exactly 1,989 days since Taylor’s master recordings were sold out from under her. Did the date mean anything? Of course not—but that didn’t stop fans from frantically Googling and meme-ing their theories into existence.
Surprise Songs That Made Us Ugly Cry
Taylor kicked off the emotional rollercoaster by playing the throwback jam “A Place in This World” mashed up with the ultimate 1989 bop “New Romantics.” And yes, we too screamed, “Babe, what the heck is a mash-up doing making us feel ALL THESE THINGS?!”
Then, as if that wasn’t enough, Taylor went full Feelings Overload with a piano medley of “Long Live,” “New Year’s Day,” and something called “The Manuscript” (which sounds like a rejected folklore track or the name of a brooding poetry slam). She even swapped the iconic “it was the end of a decade” lyric in “Long Live” to “it was the end of an era.” BRB, sobbing.
Other Moments That Had Us in Shambles
– Before “The Man,” Taylor said: “You’re making me feel like tonight we get to spend the last night of The Eras Tour with 60,000 beautiful people in Vancouver!” Translation: Taylor said this to remind us she loves us more than free cats.
– Kam’s moment in “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”: Instead of saying “like ever,” he yelled, “FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!” The dramatics? Chef’s kiss.
– Taylor’s speech during the Red era: Basically, she said the fans are the real MVPs for making the tour a giant love fest. Cue 60,000 Swifties ugly crying in unison.
– Before singing “Betty” for the last time: Taylor whispered something about it being her last song in the folklore cabin. We’re still not sure what this means, but we’re emotional about it anyway.
The Goodbye That Broke Us
Before her last song, Taylor got all sentimental, thanking the crowd for the “most thrilling chapter” of her life. She asked the audience if they’d give her one more song—as if they wouldn’t have stayed for 12 more hours if she asked.
And thus, the Eras Tour ended, not with a massive announcement but with tears, memories, and approximately one billion friendship bracelets. Swifties, we may not have gotten a new album drop, but at least we got Kam yelling, “FOR THE LAST TIME, NO!” and honestly, that’s a moment worth treasuring forever.
It’s that time of year again, the Golden Globes nominations are here! Hollywood’s annual excuse for stars to sip champagne and snag shiny trophies is rolling out the red carpet on January 5. Catch it live on CBS or stream it on Paramount+, because FOMO is so 2024.
This year, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (a.k.a. the international squad of cinephile insiders) has gone big. Both movies and TV shows are getting their time in the spotlight, and boy, do we have some heavy-hitters. Emilia Perez has come in hot with a whopping 10 nominations—talk about a flex! Meanwhile, TV darling The Bear is showing off with five nods, proving that chefs yelling in kitchens is still peak entertainment.
In an exciting twist, Nikki Glaser is stepping into the hosting spotlight for the first time. Fingers crossed for jokes, viral moments, and maybe an accidental envelope mix-up (hey, we live for the drama).
Now, drumroll, please! Scroll on for the complete list of Golden Globe nominations. Warning: Side effects may include intense celebrity envy and the sudden urge to marathon everything on this list.

Ariana Grande has officially slayed her way into the Golden Globe nominee chat! The 31-year-old high-note-hitting queen snagged a nomination for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Glinda in Wicked. (Yes, our favorite good witch is now a Globes girl!) Not to be outshined by her co-star, the powerhouse Cynthia Erivo—who plays the green and glorious Elphaba—also scored a nom for Leading Actress. Double trouble in Oz!
Ariana’s Reaction: A Journey in Emojis
Ariana took to Instagram Stories for her reaction, which can only be described as “messy bun and vibes, but make it award-worthy.”
“oh my goodness oh my goodness,” she wrote, probably while twirling in a sparkly pink dress. “i am floored and honored to be recognized by members of the Golden Globes. crying (of course)…”
Yes, she clarified she’s crying—but knowing Ari, it’s the kind of crying that makes you want to buy waterproof mascara in bulk. She went on:
“It’s impossible to find my words, but I am simply, so deeply grateful for this acknowledgement.” Same, Ari. We’re also crying but mostly because rent is due.
A Shoutout to Her “Brilliant Sister”
Ariana didn’t stop at just gushing about herself—she gave a glittering shoutout to Cynthia Erivo and the Wicked crew. “Congratulations to my brilliant, dear sister Cynthia Erivo and all of our Ozian family on this celebration of our work.” Honestly, calling your co-star a “brilliant, dear sister” is next-level graciousness. It’s giving Glinda energy.
The Real Tea: “Gratitution”
Ariana dropped a nugget of Oz-ian slang that made the internet collectively pause and say, “Huh?” She signed off with: “I can’t possibly express my gratitution.” Translation? It’s the Wicked version of gratitude. Yes, even her thank-yous are magical.
Golden Globes Incoming
Mark your calendars, witches and munchkins: the 2025 Golden Globes are set to air on Sunday, January 5. Whether Ariana shows up in full Glinda glam or a cozy hoodie with a high ponytail, you know she’s going to serve a moment.
Now, go practice your own “gratitution,” because this Wicked news deserves all the sparkle and sass! 🌟
Ariana Grande Reacts to Golden Globe Nom for Wicked: “I’m Crying, But Like, in a Cute Way”
Amy Adams, the queen of Hollywood red carpets and effortlessly glowing skin, just dropped a bombshell: for years, she ditched makeup in her personal life. The reason? Her teenage daughter, Aviana, staged an intervention—teenager style.
Apparently, 14-year-old Aviana told her famous mom, “Lose the glam, lady. I just want regular ol’ Mom, not Amy Adams, movie star.” And like the devoted mother she is, Amy said, “Roger that.” Goodbye smoky eyes, hello mascara smuggling.
The Great Mascara Caper
For years, Amy lived her life makeup-free, with the exception of a little mascara here and there. “I mean, I sneaked some mascara,” she confessed, as if she’d been running a covert cosmetics operation behind her daughter’s back. We can only imagine her whispering, “Nobody tell Aviana.”
Wardrobe Roasts Courtesy of Aviana
But Aviana didn’t stop at banning bronzer. She’s also become the household style guru. Amy admits she’s usually the least polished member of her crew. “Lately, per my daughter’s request, I’m working on an upgrade,” she said. Translation: Aviana has officially declared war on her mom’s beloved athleisure fits. “You can’t just do the leisure part of athleisure,” Aviana quipped. Ouch. Somebody get this girl her own fashion blog.
The Family Chaos Chronicles
If you’re picturing Amy swanning around her house in red carpet couture, think again. She’s the designated last-to-get-ready gal, always busy braiding her daughter’s hair or organizing the household. Meanwhile, her husband Darren is probably off somewhere looking dapper. When it’s finally Amy’s turn to shine? A ponytail and a hat. She’s keeping it real.
Amy wrapped up her candid chat by basically letting us know that when it comes to parenting, she’s just like us—minus the Academy Award nominations and private jets. Who knew that Hollywood glamour could bow down to the whims of a teen armed with sass and impeccable style critique?
Somebody give Aviana a reality show—stat.
Amy Adams Spills the Tea on Her Makeup-Free Years (Blame Her Daughter!)
Alert the Swifties and clear the aisles at Target—Taylor Swift has done it again! The 34-year-old mastermind behind the banger “Florida!!!” is back atop the Billboard 200 with her cough not-so-subtle masterpiece, The Tortured Poets Department. It’s a move so poetic, even the Billboard chart had to grab a tissue.
What’s Old is New Again (With Bonus Vinyl Action)
The album, originally dropped eight months ago, has clawed its way back to the No. 1 spot like a cat who knows where the treats are hidden. Why? Because Taylor said, “Let’s sprinkle some Anthology deluxe magic on this baby!” The revamped version landed on November 29th, exclusively at Target—because nothing says exclusive like bulk snacks and throw pillows.
Featuring four vinyls, two CDs, and probably a secret note about how Jake Gyllenhaal still hasn’t returned her scarf, this deluxe version was snapped up faster than a concert ticket during presale. Swifties pushed the album to 405,000 units in just one week, which included a jaw-dropping 368,000 in traditional album sales. Taylor, clearly tired of breaking other people’s records, casually shattered her own record for the biggest album week. Who does that? Oh right, Taylor.
Whitney Houston’s Ghost Is Probably Applauding
This marks The Tortured Poets Department’s*16th (yes, sixteenth!) week at No. 1. Back in July, Taylor made history when the album spent its first 12 weeks ruling the charts, dethroning none other than Whitney Houston, whose self-titled album Whitney held the previous record at 11 weeks. Whitney’s iconic spirit was probably like, “Girl, you’re good,” while sipping celestial champagne.
And In the Chart’s Fine Print…
While Taylor reigns supreme, let’s give some props to the runner-ups. Kendrick Lamar’s GNX is chilling at No. 2, probably thinking, “At least I’m ahead of the Wicked soundtrack,” which is holding strong at No. 3. Juice WRLD’s posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, lands at No. 4, proving the party really doesn’t end. And Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet rounds out the top five, because not everyone can be a tortured poet.
So, what’s next for Taylor? A greatest hits album featuring her sneezes? A collaboration with Target’s home décor line? Whatever it is, we’ll probably buy it—vinyl, CDs, scarves, and all.
Taylor Swift’s Billboard Comeback: ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Climbs Back to No. 1 (And Brings Snacks)
Spoiler Alert! If you haven’t caught the latest Yellowstone episode and prefer your jaw-drops delivered fresh, mosey on outta here!
Supermodel Bella Hadid took a break from gracing runways to rustle up some screen time on Sunday night’s episode of Yellowstone. Yep, you heard that right: Bella galloped into the penultimate episode of Season 5, marking her second-ever scripted role. And let’s just say, she didn’t just bring her cheekbones—she brought some sass too.
Bella played Sadie, the new girlfriend of Taylor Sheridan’s character, Travis Wheatley. (Fun fact: Sheridan also created the dang show. Who else multitasks like that?) Sadie waltzed into the Yellowstone universe looking effortlessly chic—because even in a fictional universe, Bella stays Bella—and immediately got tangled up in a scene with Kelly Reilly’s firecracker character, Beth Dutton.
In true Beth fashion, she mistook Sadie for the help. “You seem like a moderately intelligent woman. How can you work for this f—k?” Beth asked, trademark venom dripping off every syllable.
Sadie, unbothered and probably wondering where the nearest exit was, shot back with, “I would never work for a horse trainer. Travis is my boyfriend.” (Translation: “Respectfully, Beth, check yourself.”)
But Beth wasn’t done. She needed answers. Specifically, what in the yeehaw did Sadie see in this guy? Sadie’s response? Pure cowboy poetry: “You ever seen him ride before?”
Cue awkward silence as everyone in the scene—and probably the audience—debates whether she meant horses or… something else entirely.
Sadly, we didn’t get much more screen time with Sadie (or Bella), leaving us to wonder if she’ll ride off into the Yellowstone sunset or reappear in the finale like a glamorous tumbleweed.
Speaking of which, don’t forget: the big showdown—the Season 5 finale—airs next Sunday, December 15. Who knows? Maybe Sadie will be back with more zingers, more drama, and maybe even a cowboy hat of her own. Ride on, Bella. Ride on. 🐎
Bella Hadid Saddles Up for a Surprise ‘Yellowstone’ Cameo—And It’s as Wild as You’d Hope
Eugenio Derbez, the 63-year-old star of Acapulco and a man who has apparently never met a microphone he didn’t like, has hit the apology trail after throwing some shade at Selena Gomez’s Spanish skills in her latest movie Emilia Pérez.
ICYMI, Eugenio had recently hopped on the Hablando de Cine podcast and decided to critique Selena’s performance with all the subtlety of a toddler banging pots together. “They don’t speak Spanish,” he said, referring to Selena and others like her. He then compared it to watching a Russian or German film with subtitles and hinted that her delivery lacked… authenticity. (Ouch. Someone grab the aloe!)
Enter Selena Gomez, the 32-year-old pop queen, actress, and unbothered icon who somehow manages to juggle TV, movies, music, and lip-sync battles on TikTok. She caught wind of Eugenio’s spicy commentary and responded with a classic “I hear you, but also I did my best, so whatever” kind of vibe.
But clearly, Eugenio’s conscience (or his PR team) wasn’t going to let him sleep at night. Fast forward to his TikTok mea culpa, where he served up a heartfelt helping of humble pie.
“Dear Selena,” he began, in what can only be described as the written equivalent of showing up at someone’s door with flowers and a boom box. “I truly apologize for my careless comments—they are indefensible and go against everything I stand for.” (Plot twist: Turns out, Eugenio stands for not dragging fellow Latinos.)
He continued, “As Latinos, we should always support one another. There’s no excuse. I was wrong, and I deeply admire your career and your kind heart.” (Translation: “Please don’t hate me, Selena. I love Rare Beauty blushes.”)
Then came the pièce de résistance: “Emilia Pérez deserves to be celebrated, not diminished by my thoughtless remarks. I’m walking away from this with an important lesson learned.” (Spoiler alert: The lesson is “Think before you speak.”)
Eugenio wrapped it up with the kind of groveling you only see in rom-coms and reality TV finales: “While I understand if you cannot accept my apology, please know it comes from the heart. With all my love and admiration, Eugenio Derbez.”
No word yet on whether Selena has officially accepted the apology, but judging by her chill response to the original drama, she’s probably already moved on to bigger things—like deciding what emoji to post next on TikTok or topping the Billboard charts again.
As for Eugenio, here’s hoping his next podcast appearance is less “critique” and more “compliment sandwich.” Lesson learned, buddy.
Eugenio Derbez Eats His Words After Selena Gomez Responds to His ‘Emilia Pérez’ Roast
Kate Cassidy has officially shattered the Internet’s collective heart into a million little pieces (again), this time with a new TikTok video honoring her late boyfriend, Liam Payne.
The former One Direction singer tragically passed away on October 16, leaving fans, friends, and family devastated. Kate, a 25-year-old influencer known for her online presence and enviable style, had taken a hiatus from TikTok—because who’s in the mood for trending dance challenges when your soulmate is gone?
But on Sunday (December 8), Kate returned to the platform, dropping a compilation video that could only be described as “a highlight reel of love and feels.” The video, captioned simply, “I love you,” showcased moments from their life together that could make even the iciest of hearts melt faster than an ice cream cone on a summer day.
The clips featured the couple doing everyday couple-y things: going bowling (cue the debate on who got more strikes), Liam pulling Kate across the floor at home (a romantic or comedic moment, depending on how you look at it), and a whole lot more that screams, “We were disgustingly adorable together.”
If you’re wondering, “Wait, didn’t she already post something about him?”—you’re correct. Back in October, Kate poured her heart out in an Instagram Story shortly after Liam’s passing, sharing her grief and love. She had just returned from Argentina, where she spent a couple of weeks with him before the tragic news.
Fast forward to late November, and Liam’s funeral was held. Kate attended the solemn event with her good friend Damian Hurley (yes, the Damian Hurley—Liz Hurley’s son and walking proof that genetics sometimes play favorites). Together, they supported each other during the emotional day.
This new TikTok tribute is a bittersweet reminder of the love they shared, with glimpses of their playful and sweet dynamic. It’s a poignant celebration of Liam’s life, proving that love can transcend even the hardest goodbyes. Now, excuse us while we grab some tissues and cry into our snack of choice. Note: To view the video below you have to be logged into TikTok as it’s deemed sensitive content.
Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter is not here for your courtroom drama — or your poorly tailored legal theatrics. The 55-year-old rap mogul found himself unexpectedly cast in a legal soap opera after a refiled lawsuit accused him of something he calls not just outrageous, but downright insulting to his Brooklyn-born honor.
Here’s the tea: the lawsuit, originally filed in October, targeted Sean “Diddy” Combs over allegations involving a 13-year-old girl and a supposed after-party following the 2000 MTV VMAs. But plot twist! The reboot of this legal drama threw Jay-Z’s name into the mix. And let’s just say, Hov was not about to let that slide.
“Oh, You Thought?”
Jay-Z came out swinging like he was back at a Brooklyn block party, releasing a statement so fiery it could scorch the courthouse steps. “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt—oh, excuse me, a demand letter—from a so-called lawyer named Tony Buzbee,” Jay-Z began, likely while side-eyeing the audacity of it all.
Buzbee, whom Jay-Z essentially described as a legal TikTok clout chaser in a discount suit, allegedly thought the public scrutiny would scare the billionaire into settling. Spoiler alert: it didn’t.
“No sir, it had the opposite effect!” Jay-Z declared, practically daring Buzbee to go full courtroom drama mode. “It made me want to expose you for the fraud you are in a VERY public fashion.” Translation? Jay-Z just dropped a diss track — in legalese.
Criminal Complaint or Bust
Taking it a step further, Jay-Z essentially called the lawsuit a cheap cash grab, challenging Buzbee to file criminal charges instead of a civil suit if he was really about that justice life. “Whomever would commit such a crime against a minor should be locked away. Would you not agree?” Jay-Z asked, probably while sipping tea Beyoncé brewed specifically for this moment.
But wait, there’s more! The rapper described Buzbee as a “deplorable human” and a “ambulance chaser in a cheap suit.” Yikes. Somewhere, Buzbee’s tailor just shed a single tear.
Family Meeting at the Carter House
Jay-Z also revealed the personal toll of these allegations, noting that he and Beyoncé now have to sit down with Blue Ivy and the twins for an awkward family meeting. Imagine explaining not only “the birds and the bees” but also “the greed and cruelty of humanity” over juice boxes and cookies.
But, in true Hov fashion, he signed off with a mic drop: “I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who made it out of the projects of Brooklyn. We don’t play these types of games. We have very strict codes and honor.” Translation: don’t let the billionaire lifestyle fool you. The streets still remember him.
Meanwhile, Back at Diddy’s Situation
Oh, and Diddy? He’s still dealing with his own storm, currently behind bars for sex trafficking charges and denied bail for the third time. This might just be the messiest crossover episode in hip-hop history.
Stay tuned — because if there’s one thing Jay-Z’s making clear, it’s that this drama is far from over, and he’s ready to take it from “reasonable doubt” to absolute clarity.
Paul Mescal, Gladiator II heartthrob and professional brooder, waltzed into the Saturday Night Live spotlight on December 7, armed with Irish wit, a questionable sense of humor, and a deep, unshakable love for… short shorts.
The 28-year-old actor kicked off his monologue by roasting his own dramatic filmography: “I cry a lot on screen,” he seemed to telegraph. “But tonight? It’s comedy. Maybe.” From there, he dove headfirst into Irish stereotypes like a man unafraid of being gently scolded by his relatives at the next family reunion.
“There’s a nasty rumor that Irish people have sex with our cousins,” he declared, to audible gasps from the audience. But before anyone could cancel him on Twitter, Paul clarified: “That’s offensive and ridiculous. We have sex with our second cousins.” That’s right, keep it in the family tree, but at least a branch or two away.
As if that wasn’t enough to make the SNL crowd choke on their popcorn, Paul tackled another Irish myth: kilts. “No, that’s the Scottish,” he said, correcting the record. “The Irish? We rock short shorts.” And to prove his point, he flashed a photo of his own alabaster gams, gleaming like two beams of pale moonlight.
Enter Marcello Hernandez, SNL cast member and apparent short-shorts enthusiast. Bounding onto the stage in his own scandalously high-cut pair, Marcello looked ready to challenge Paul to a duel—except instead of swords, the weapon of choice was sheer thigh exposure.
Paul wasn’t buying it, though. “They’re too short,” he quipped, as if the man wasn’t already one accidental movement away from turning the SNL stage into a whole different kind of show.
Marcello, unbothered, countered with the wisdom of someone who clearly knows his way around a pair of booty-baring bottoms: “The shorter the shorts, the taller you look.”
And thus, SNL history was made—not with a laugh, but with two grown men vying for dominance in the unholy arena of short shorts. Somewhere, the Gladiator gods wept.
Raven-Symoné, the queen of Disney Channel sass, recently took us on a nostalgic (and slightly jaw-dropping) trip down memory lane. On a recent episode of her Tea Time with Raven & Miranda podcast, the 38-year-old actress dropped the mic about a major life event from her teenage years—her first breast reduction surgery. Yes, first.
Let’s set the scene: It’s the early 2000s, and Raven’s gearing up to become the psychic icon we all know and love on That’s So Raven. But before her visions hit our screens, she was dealing with something a little less Disney-friendly. “I had my first breast reduction at 15,” Raven shared casually, as if talking about what she had for lunch.
Cue her wife Miranda Maday chiming in, calling the experience “traumatic.” (Honestly, understatement of the century.)
Raven broke it down further, saying, “I was a triple D all the way down to a B.” Triple D to B?! That’s not a reduction; that’s a magical act Houdini would envy.
And if you’re wondering whether this was her teenage decision or if someone else nudged her in that direction, Raven revealed, “Someone said I needed to do it in order to get a show.” Oh, the early 2000s, where bad fashion and worse advice apparently ran rampant.
But wait, there’s more! Raven also pitched the idea of throwing in a little liposuction while they were at it. Go big or go home, right?
Fast forward to today, and Raven can’t help but feel some major FOMO. “There’s this beautiful embracing of the body now that I didn’t get as a young girl,” she said. “I was envious as f-ck.”
Raven-Symoné keeping it real as always. And if this isn’t a masterclass in turning past trauma into tea-spilling gold, we don’t know what is. Cheers to Raven for reminding us that behind every fabulous psychic icon is a story worth telling.
Breckie Hill has officially delivered the plot twist nobody saw coming—she’s not the lead actress in this real-life drama involving Barry Keoghan and Sabrina Carpenter. In fact, she’s more like an accidental extra who wandered onto the wrong set.
On Saturday night (December 7), Breckie decided enough was enough and took to TikTok to debunk the swirling rumors that Barry cheated on Sabrina with her. Spoiler alert: this tea is ice-cold.
“Me and Barry? Never even shared an elevator!”
Breckie started her video with the kind of energy reserved for someone tired of nonsense.
“To put it simply for you all: no, I did not get with Barry. I have never even encountered this man in my life,” she said, looking like she couldn’t believe she had to say those words out loud. “The only time I’ve seen him is on my TV screen while watching Saltburn.”
So, if Breckie’s been anywhere near Barry, it’s in 4K resolution from the comfort of her couch.
Wait, So How Did This Rumor Even Start?
Turns out, the chaos began when Breckie, in a moment of poor judgment—or genius trolling—reposted a video she saw on her For You Page claiming she was the culprit in the alleged home-wrecking scenario. Why? Because it was just that ridiculous.
“I reposted it because I thought it was so dumb it was funny,” she said. “Like, come on—if I was secretly with Barry, would I really be out here reposting TikToks about it? That’s not cheating 101, that’s amateur hour.”
Oh, but wait—there’s more. Some internet sleuths connected Breckie’s review of a salty margarita to the movie Saltburn and decided this was a smoking gun. Yes, people really tried to CSI their way to scandal using margaritas.
“As Someone Who Knows What It’s Like to Get Cheated On…”
Breckie got real, real quick, saying she’d never wreck someone else’s relationship.
“Coming from someone who has been cheated on in several relationships, I would never want to home-wreck any girl’s relationship or put them through that pain. Ever. Ever,” she declared.
She also shared that the rumor storm has been hitting her harder than a bad Tinder date. “Now that that’s all been said, I just wanted to say I’ve never gone through a worse time in my life,” Breckie admitted, adding that people have been hitting her with “the worst possible things you can imagine.” (Internet, maybe try chilling for once?)
The Moral of the Story: Stop With the Rumors, People
Before signing off, Breckie left the audience with a final PSA: stop spreading gossip. Like, really, just stop.
Meanwhile, in the actual relationship drama department, Barry and Sabrina recently called it quits after a year of dating, and Barry hit the “delete account” button on Instagram faster than you can say “Saltburn margarita.”
Barry and Sabrina are over, Breckie’s margaritas are misunderstood, and the internet might need to take a collective nap.
Creator says it’s a wrap, and honestly? We’re emotionally bankrupt.
Okay, everybody put your triangle masks back in storage and cancel your "Squid Game Season...
