HALSEY, JOHN MAYER ROMANCE RUMORS – (11/08/2018)

Is Halsey cozying up to John Mayer following her split from G-Eazy? The longtime friends have been spending a significant amount of time together virtually and in real life.

Halsey, 24, recently Instagrammed a video of herself FaceTiming Mayer while out for a drive, captioning the clip, “7am carpool karaoke with John Mayer.” Fans have spotted Mayer, 41, in Halsey’s Instagram comments on several occasions.

He recently popped up among her fans to ask for a little IT support from Halsey on Monday after she posted an ad for a YSL Beauty Lipstick.

“It’s saying that my billing address doesn’t match with the one of my credit card? I’ve never had this problem before. Can you text me? Thanks,” he wrote. Halsey was quick to quip back, “@JohnMayer wrote u a song with the help hotline # in the chorus. Sending mp3 now.”

Even when he wasn’t commenting on Halsey’s photos, Mayer has hit the “like” button on several of her photos, including one of her sporting her Poison Ivy costume for Halloween and others.

Fans got especially curious about the flirtation between Mayer and Halsey on October 16th, when she shared a screenshot of the text she drunkenly sent him on what she thought was his birthday. In it, she gushed about how being “lucky to have dipped the smallest toe into your waters. Blessed to even watch your current from afar.”

The pair have long been rumored to be an item and have been quick to shut down speculation – and this time is no different. On Wednesday, Halsey tweeted: “I just had a ground breaking idea. What if…we let female artists…have friends…without assuming that they are sleeping together?” She added “I know I know. It’s like, completely ambitious but like, imagine if we like, tried?”

SELENA GOMEZ LEAVES PSYCHIATRIC FACILITY? – (11/08/2018)

On Tuesday, Demi Lovato resurfaced on Instagram after 90 days in rehab. Now, her childhood friend and fellow former Disney star is reportedly out of her own treatment facility.

E! Online reported that Selena Gomez has left the psychiatric facility where she’d been treated since early October for what’s been described as an “emotional breakdown.” A source said, “Selena is out of her treatment program in NYC and is doing much better.”

The singer was reportedly hospitalized a number of times for medical issues related to her Lupus and subsequent kidney transplant. The stress of that led to the so-called “breakdown,” according to an insider. But now, dishes the insider, Selena feels “refreshed and is in a better head space.”

Still, Selena will continue consult with health care professionals, adds the source. She reportedly “wants to lay low for a while and isn’t ready to go full force into working yet.”

Prior to the incident, Selena had taken a break from social media, writing, “Just remember – negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings.” She’d also done an Instagram Live video in which she described feeling like “people were picking me apart.”

NOTE: E! has since removed their story on Gomez’s reported release. It was unclear at press time if she remains in treatment.

While they haven’t been spotted out together, sources say they talk several times a week and meet up as well. The website claims nothing romantic is afoot; Lovato has also been spotted out with clothing king Henry Levy, whom she met many years ago in a previous rehab stint.

Ariana Grande performed her new single “Thank U, Next” on Ellen Wednesday morning, amplifying the song’s theme by appearing with two dancers on a set made up to look like a wedding reception.

Midway through the song, she climbed on top of a chair and stumbled as she stepped down from it, but she literally laughed it off, breaking up the verse with an “Oh my god” and laughing during a couple of the following lines.

Grande and her backup dancers, Tayla Parx and Victoria Monet, channeled the 1996 movie First Wives Club. The trio wore all-white ensembles on the stage, which was decorated to look like a wedding reception. Grande had shared a photo with Parx and Monet on Instagram prior to the performance.

“first wives club 2018 …… @thellenshow tomorrow,” she captioned the post. “i love you @victoriamoney @taylaparx … thank u, next.”

Grande released “Thank U, Next” last week. The song’s lyrics reference several of the singer’s ex-partners, including ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, ex-fiancé Pete Davidson and late ex-boyfriend Mac Miller.

Ariana has also released the stunning visual for her song “Breathin.” The 25-year-old surprised fans with the music vid, which was directed by Hannah Lux Davis. “thank u for this beautiful visual @hannahluxdavis 🖤 i love u always,” Ariana wrote on her Twitter.

In the video, Ariana can be seen walking through a busy train station as the world passes her by at high speed. It flashes to clips of Ariana with her head in the clouds and peacefully swinging through the air.

ARIANA GRANDE NAMED BILLBOARD’S 2018 WOMAN OF THE YEAR – (11/07/2018)

Ariana Grande has been named the 2018 Woman of the Year by Billboard. Grande will be presented with a Woman of the Year award at the 13th annual Women in Music dinner and awards gala in New York on December 6th.

The singer has had an eventful year, releasing her fourth studio album Sweetener in August. The release reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts and earned the largest streaming week ever for a pop album by a female artist upon its release.

“Ariana Grande is a star on her own terms, never bending to any particular musical trend or path in the industry,” Billboard’s VP of content Ross Scarano said in a statement. “Certain in her convictions, she consistently stands up for herself and her decisions in a world that often isn’t hospitable to that sort of strength in young women. She’s got guts, she’s making some of the best music of her career, and she’s absolutely deserving of Woman of the Year,” he continued.

Grande joins a list of past winners that include Beyoncé, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Pink, Fergie, Madonna and last year’s winner Selena Gomez.

“Thank u for this honor @billboard,” Grande said on Twitter Tuesday.

Ariana also released a lyric video for her latest song, “thank u, next.” The track features Grande singing about her past relationships with Ricky Alvarez, Big Sean, Mac Miller and Pete Davidson.

The new video displays the words of her song on uneven, faded pink pieces of paper against a matching background, employing a ransom note effect. An occasional lipstick print appears by the lyrics, adding to the vintage feel created by the choppy footage.

SOCIAL HOUSE JOINING ARIANA GRANDE ON HER ‘SWEETENER’ WORLD TOUR: Ariana Grande announced that pop duo Social House will join her Sweetener World Tour, along with fellow opening act Normani.

The duo have also written and produced songs for Chris Brown, Steve Malcolm and Jennifer Lopez before releasing their debut single “Magic in the Hamptons” featuring Lil Yachty this past summer. While the two have not announced an album, they recently shared their second single “Higher.” Grande’s 2019 Sweetener World Tour is set to kick off March 18th in Albany, New York.

“HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAH IM SORRY U GOT THE WORST LINE,” Ariana replied. “It was meant v lovingly.”

“Nothing but gratitude,” Ricky shared. “Thank u, next. … (those songs are fire tho… you’re welcome).” Ariana was first linked to Ricky in the summer of 2015. Their split was confirmed a year later in 2016.

IDRIS ELBA IS PEOPLE’S SEXIEST MAN ALIVE: Idris Elba has been crowned Sexiest Man Alive by People Magazine. The 46-year-old Brit has become one of Hollywood’s most respected stars, People points out, starting with his breakthrough role in America as drug kingpin Russell “Stringer” Bell on HBO’s hit series The Wire to his role as Heimdall in Marvel’s Thor franchise. Elba is the 33rd man to receive the honor. He tells the magazine of his awkward high school years: “I was very tall and skinny. And my name was Idrissa Akuna Elba, okay? I got picked on a little bit. But as soon as I could grow a mustache, I was the coolest kid on the block. Grew a mustache, had some muscles, bonkers.”

Again, I am deeply sorry.”

ANDREW LINCOLN REVEALS ‘WALKING DEAD’ PEEVE AS FRANCHISE PREPARES NEXT LIFE – (11/06/2018)

After appearing on The Walking Dead for the last time Sunday night, Andrew Lincoln sounded off on the AMC show with The New York Times. 

He says that he shared many fans’ distress at the death of Steven Yeun’s Glenn. 

“Because Steven Yeun was such an important part of the rhythm of my years,” Lincoln said. “If anything, it’s probably like being in a boy band — you only have each other as a reference point. And then they start taking them away from you.”

Plus, he didn’t like the way Glenn was killed (with a baseball bat until his eye popped out). 

“We’ve been able to terrify people in film for 100 years without having to show an eyeball,” Lincoln said. “When that happens, it diminishes what we’re trying to make, which in my mind’s eye is a family drama set in hell. It’s not a sort of B-movie gore-fest.” Lincoln also suggested that “it would be more disturbing just keeping the camera on Maggie’s face,” and that “maybe that’s why I want to direct, because I want to make what I’ve been filming in my head.” 

THE WALKING DEAD LIVES

Meanwhile, AMC is planning to expand the universe of The Walking Dead, with a series of three films set to begin production next year. 

“It’s not the beginning of the end, it’s the end of the beginning. And I like the idea that we get to tell a bigger story, maybe with a sort of wider vista,” Lincoln said on The Talking Dead, AMC‘s after-show about the zombie hit. “I’ve always been interested in what’s going on out there, you know, whether or not there is contact with the wider world.”

Lincoln himself will lead the films, which will tell the story of what happened to him post-show. Fan favorites Norman Reedus (Daryl) and Melissa McBride (Carol) have also signed new deals. Reedus, who also hosts and exec produces AMC‘s motorcycle series Ride With Norman Reedus, will make $350,000 per episode on top of additional guarantees and advances in a deal that sources say could be worth anywhere from $50 million to $90 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. 

McBride will earn an estimated $20 million over three years, per THR.

ARIANA GRANDE REVEALS NEXT ALBUM TITLE, DROPS ‘THANK U, NEXT’ SINGLE – (11/05/2018)

Ariana Grande is already working on plans to release her upcoming fifth album and has revealed the title – “Thank U, Next.”

Ari took to Twitter on Saturday to open up about the album, which she wrote with one of her best friends, Victoria Monet. “a new chapter 🖤 gratitude, growth, embracing our path bumps n all …. thank u, next,” Ariana wrote. “no drags…. no shade….. jus love, gratitude, acceptance, honesty, forgiveness … and growth 🖤”

She added, “this what happens when u write an album w your best friends lol @VictoriaMonet they dig up all your old sayings and it ends up becoming the album title lmao.”

Just a few hours after announcing the title of her new album, Ariana released the first single off of it – “thank u, next. In the first couple lines of the song, Ariana sends some love to her exes including Big Sean, Ricky Alvarez, Pete Davidson, and the late Mac Miller. “Thought I’d end up with Sean, but it wasn’t a match //Wrote some songs about Ricky, now I listen and laugh // Even almost got married, and for Pete, I’m so thankful // Wish I could say, ‘Thank you’ to Malcolm ‘cause he was an angel,” Ariana sings.

The song dropped about 30 minutes before Davidson’s show Saturday Night Live aired. He, too, addressed the break-up, saying live on the show, “I know some of you are curious about the breakup, but the truth is, it’s nobody’s business. Sometimes things just don’t work out and that’s okay.”

Davidson added of Ariana, “She’s a wonderful, strong person and I genuinely wish her all the happiness in the world. Now please go vote on Tuesday, all right?”

ANDREW LINCOLN TO REMAIN IN WALKING DEAD UNIVERSE: Rick Grimes’ story isn’t over yet, despite the airing of his “final” episode in the iconic AMC show Sunday night. The network has announced that Lincoln will star in multiple movies that will continue the story of his Walking Dead character; the first will begin production next year and explains where he went after taking off in a helicopter at the end of Sunday’s episode. “It’s not the beginning of the end, it’s the end of the beginning,” said Lincoln himself in a statement. “And I like the idea that we get to tell a bigger story, maybe with a sort of wider vista. And I’ve always been interested in what’s going on out there, you know, whether or not there is contact with the wider world. I want to know the meta of it all. And I suppose to be able to kind of touch upon that in a contained story for me is a very exciting proposition… Maybe it’s the start of a bigger story.”

ARIANA GRANDE FREAKS OUT AND GETS INJURED IN ESCAPE ROOM WITH JAMES CORDEN – (11/01/2018)

More than two months after Ariana Grande showed off her injured hand, fans are finally learning how she hurt it – in a haunted escape room with James Corden.

Right in time for Halloween, The Late Late Show with James Corden aired Grande and Corden’s spooky afternoon at 60OUT Escape Rooms that ended with the pop star’s hand in a bandage in August.

“I love Halloween,” the singer started. “I love being scared. I think it’s so much fun. … Usually escape rooms aren’t that scary, but I do love escape rooms.”

As soon as the duo entered the escape room, which was captured on grainy black-and-white footage, Grande had second thoughts. “You told me this was an escape room, not hell,” she exclaimed in the dark room. “Can I go back?”

Faced with darkness, and other beings within the creepy confines, Corden and Grande navigate their way to completing the challenge, but it’s as they attempt their final escape that things get truly dangerous. While being chased by a masked figure, Grande slips and injures her hand, which solves the mystery of the bandaged hand from August.

“That’s not an escape room, that’s one of the seven gates to hell” Grande tells Corden as they drive away.

Ariana was in a much safer space with the BBC, where she recently recorded several of her songs for an upcoming special airing today. Backed by an all-female choir and orchestra, Grande performed several Sweetener songs, including “God Is A Woman.”

Meanwhile, Ariana has covered up another tattoo she got with ex Pete Davidson. In a sentimental Instagram story, the 25-year-old songstress showed off a new tattoo on her hand while thanking her friends who have been supporting her.

The new tat covers up what used to say “Reborn” and now appears to be a feather or a fern.

“I have no words to describe how much i love and am eternally grateful for these human beings who constantly help me turn lemons into lemonade and literally heal me and put me back together,” Ariana captioned the Boomerang. She also included the names of her friends who have been by her side.

IT’S A (SEE-THROUGH) WRAP! MEGHAN MARKLE ENDS ROYAL TOUR IN MEMORABLE SKIRT – (11/01/2018)

The pregnant Meghan Markle’s sartorial choices frequently give fans a double-take—generally for their stunning elegance—but some are wagging their fingers at the Duchess of Sussex for the skirt she chose to wear on the final day of her royal tour of New Zealand, Fiji, et al.

Meghan paired a stunning royal (natch) blue Givenchy sweater with a (gasp!) sheer blue, pleated skirt. 

Was it a wardrobe malfunction or intentional? No one at the palace will say, but Twitter has opinions, with some calling it “stunning,” and haters slamming it as “inappropriate.” Still others were quick to point our that this wasn’t her first slip-up on the royal tour: in Tonga, she wore a red Self-Portrait dress bearing the tag.

REP: KATIE HOLMES IS NOT ENGAGED: Everyone freaked out for a sec when a pic of Katie Holmes wearing a sparkler on that finger hit the ‘net, but no. She is not engaged to her long-time rumored love Jamie Foxx. She’s just getting ready for a role, her rep told Entertainment Tonight.

SELENA GOMEZ NO LONGER THE MOST FOLLOWED PERSON ON INSTAGRAM: Selena Gomez is no longer the most followed person on Instagram. It was reported yesterday that Portuguese soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo has dethroned the social media queen, though by a relatively small margin. At press time, the professional athlete has 144,376,191 followers, while the pop star is not far behind with 144,335,107. But Gomez might not mind giving up the title, as she told her fans last month, she’s taking a social media break. “Taking a social media break. Again,” she wrote on Instagram in September. “As much as I am grateful for the voice that social media gives each of us, I am equally grateful to be able to step back and live my life present to the moment I have been given. Kindness and encouragement only for a bit! Just remember- negative comments can hurt anybody’s feelings. Obvi.” The post came shortly before news broke that the singer had entered a mental health treatment facility following hospitalizations.

ARIANA GRANDE SAYS THE ‘BREATHIN’ VIDEO IS ‘COMING’ – (10/30/2018)

Ariana Grande has hinted at the forthcoming release for her song “Breathin” from Sweetener via Twitter.

“Jus keep breathin,” the 25-year-old wrote in an initial post. A fan then replied, “Release the video plz.” Grande responded with, “It’s coming. love you.”

Grande also teased a second, official video for “Breathin” on October 10th after releasing a visual for the song that features self-shot footage of her pet Piggy Smallz.

Ariana recently announced a tour for Sweetener, which was released in August this year.

Meanwhile, Ariana has made her triumphant return to the stage. NBC aired A Very Wicked Halloween: Celebrating 15 Years on Broadway last night. As part of the pre-taped special, Grande performed an impressive rendition of “The Wizard and I” in front of many of the musical’s biggest fans.

The performance marked Grande’s first time back on the stage since her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller died of an apparent overdose in September and she and ex-fiancée Pete Davidson called off their engagement in mid-October.

At the event, which also marked Grande’s first public appearance post-split, the pop star was without her 3-carat, $93,000 engagement ring and covered up her “Pete” finger tattoo.

CAMILA CABELLO SLAMS FANS FOR SUGGESTING SHE’S PREGNANT – (10/29/2018)

Camila Cabello has a message for her fans: Stop wondering if she’s pregnant.

After the singer posted a photo of herself on Instagram with her hand on her belly, and the caption, “You’re still the only thing I did right,” fans flooded the comments section with speculation that she might be expecting a baby with her boyfriend, acting coach Matthew Hussey.

One fan tried to defend Camila, writing, “Guys just because girly is touching her belly doesn’t mean she’s pregnant. Y’all calling her fat or pregnant makes her feel insecure. Shame on you.”

Finally, Camila herself chimed in on the comment thread, writing, “Guys don’t be crazy. I’VE BEEN TOURING AMERICA EATING DELICIOUS FOODS LEAVE ME AND MY BELLY ALONE!!!!!!”

Camila recently wrapped up her own Never Be the Same Tour, as well as her tour dates with Taylor Swift.

JUSTIN BIEBER BURRITO PHOTO WAS A PRANK – (10/29/2018)

The internet went berserk last Thursday when a photo surfaced on Reddit that appeared to show Justin Bieber sitting on a park bench, scarfing down a burrito the wrong way – as in from the middle, as if he were eating an ear of corn.

“Look at him eat a burrito like he’s never seen food before,” Vanity Fair railed. “Here is Justin Bieber eating a burrito much like a demon might eat a small child,” Jezebel summed up. Even late night hosts got in on the ribbing.

Chrissy Teigen, who has authored two bestselling cookbooks, took to Twitter on Thursday night, retweeting the pic of Bieber. “The only way they should be eaten tbh, ends are just carb factories,” she wrote.

However, the truth was revealed in a detailed debunking video, titled “We Fooled the Internet w/ Fake Justin Bieber Burrito Photo,” posted Sunday by a group called Yes Theory.

The YouTube tricksters claimed responsibility for the elaborate prank, saying they recruited Bieber lookalike Brad Sousa to commit the crime against food.

In an Instagram video, Scooter Braun, Bieber’s manager, took credit for outing the pranksters by briefly pretending he thought the image was real. “I had so many people hitting me, saying, ‘Why is your boy eating a burrito like this?’” says Braun. In a matter of seconds, he says, the group’s manager called him to come clean.

NIALL HORAN UNDERGOES SINUS SURGERY – (10/29/2018)

Niall Horan is recovering after undergoing sinus surgery last week.

On Wednesday, the 25-year-old told fans he had a sinus infection. “Sinus infection is a real pain in the face,” he tweeted, alongside an emoji blowing its nose and another with its mouth covered. On Friday, he let fans know he had sinus surgery, and everything is going well.

“Just wanted to let you guys know that I’ve had my sinus surgery and recovery is going well. As I said I’ll be laying low for a while but thought you might want to know that part,” Horan tweeted.

Earlier this month, Horan celebrated the one-year anniversary of the release of his first solo album, Flicker. The album includes the singles “This Town,” “Slow Hands,” “Too Much to Ask,” “On The Loose” and “Seeing Blind.”

Horan also finished up his world tour last month after spending much of the year on the road. In a June interview with The Sun, Horan said he plans on taking a break from recording and performing to give himself the opportunity to write new songs.

Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, Horan responded to the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue, where 11 people were killed and six others injured. In his first comments after the shooting, President Donald Trump suggested the shooting might have been prevented if the synagogue had an armed guard outside, angering Horan.

“Trump kept saying in his chat with reporters that if there was an armed guard inside the synagogue that the ‘numbers’ would have been a lot lower,” Horan tweeted. “The fact is if there was no guns at all, there wouldn’t have been a shooter in the first place. Get a grip.”

JENNA DEWAN FILES FOR DIVORCE FROM CHANNING TATUM – (10/29/2018)

Six months after announcing their split, Jenna Dewan and Channing Tatum are making it official. Dewan filed for divorce Friday from Tatum, citing irreconcilable differences, according to court documents obtained by The Blast.

Dewan’s lawyer Samantha Spector filed paperwork requesting joint legal and physical custody of their 5-year-old daughter Everly. She also requested to have her name legally restored to Jenna Dewan, instead of Jenna Dewan Tatum. Tatum filed a response also requesting joint custody. 

“We have lovingly chosen to separate as a couple. We fell deeply in love so many years ago and have had a magical journey together,” the pair said in a joint statement announcing their split in April. “Absolutely nothing has changed about how much we love one another, but love is a beautiful adventure that is taking us on different paths for now.”

MOVING ON

Both have reportedly re-entered the dating pool. The 38-year-old Magic Mike star is dating singer Jessie J, according to multiple reports. The 37-year-old Dewan is also reportedly dating, but the object of her affection remains mysterious. 

The latest had Dewan “getting cozy” with a mystery man at the Casamigos Halloween party held at co-founder Mike Meldman’s Beverly Hills home. E! News reports that she was dressed as a fairy, and “couldn’t keep” her “hands” of the new man. 

“They definitely seemed like they were dating and left the party holding hands. They were kissing in the courtyard before they exited,” the source told E!. “It definitely didn’t seem like Jenna was hiding anything.”
