Ariana who? Saturday Night Live star Pete Davidson appears to be bouncing back after his split from fiancée Ariana Grande and the posting an alarming Instagram note a few weeks ago, if a report in Page Six is to be believed.
Davidson was spotted leaving the Netflix Golden Globes party with Kate Beckinsale. “They were flirting all night and sipping Moët champagne,” a spy told Page Six TV. “They were outside on the patio and left together.”
It’s not Davidson’s first dive back into the dating pool; he was also spotted on a date at Carbone last month with a “mystery woman.” Beckinsale was most recently linked to British comedian Jack Whitehall; she divorced Hollywood producer Len Wiseman in 2016.
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE EXCITED ABOUT STAGE RETURN FOLLOWING VOCAL CORD ISSUES – (01/08/2019)
Justin Timberlake is back performing and he couldn’t be more thrilled.
“Last night. Feels good to be back,” the singer wrote on Sunday, 48 hours after he headlined the Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. following a two month hiatus from performing due to bruised vocal cords.
The Man of the Woods tour kicked back off Friday night and continued on Sunday night with a gig at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The tour was delayed in late October, when Timberlake canceled a show at Madison Square Garden in New York, explaining that “my vocal cords are severely bruised… I’m gonna make this up to you.” Other postponements followed and JT shared an update in early December, noting he was on the mend and that doctors had recommended he hold off on singing until January.
The tour has been extended until mid-April.
LADY GAGA SAYS CELINE DION ‘OUTPERFORMED’ HER AT ‘ENIGMA’ RESIDENCY – (01/08/2019)
On opening night of Lady Gaga’s Enigma residency in Las Vegas last month, Celine Dion was caught on video rocking out to Gaga’s performance of “The Edge of Glory” and other songs. Gaga tells Access Hollywood that she loved Celine’s reaction so much, she actually incorporated it into her show.
“She inspired my performance,” Gaga says. “I watched that video after I did that show, and then the next night when I sang ‘The Edge of Glory’ I was doing all the moves that Céline was doing because she outperformed me while I was singing it!” She adds, “She’s an icon! And you know what is so wonderful? She is so kind.”
Gaga also only had good things to say about another icon who has a Las Vegas residency.
“And you know who else is so kind is Cher,” she says. “When [A Star Is Born] came out, that woman sent me, like, 600 white roses. And she said, ‘It worked for me and I believe it will work for you, the dreams that you wish will come true. From Cinderella.’“
Gaga continues her Vegas residency later this month.
According to a speech that Gaga made onstage during the show, Celine also joined Gaga behind the scenes before the concert began.
“Give it up for Céline Dion,” Gaga shouted during her speech. “She prayed with me and my entire crew backstage before this show. That is how amazing she is.”

IDRIS ELBA FIRES UP JAMES BOND RUMORS WITH DANIEL CRAIG PIC – (01/08/2019)
Idris Elba continues to stoke fan excitement over the possibility that he will be the next James Bond. Elba’s latest move: he snagged current James Bond star Daniel Craig for a selfie at the Golden Globes Sunday night.
The pair looked pained, and he captioned it, “Awks…..”
Speculation that Elba could be 007 started in 2014, when a leaked email showed Sony exec Amy Pascal floating the possibility. Since then, he has alternatively denied, avoided and encouraged the rumor, apparently enjoying the game of cat and mouse.
Craig is reportedly giving up the franchise after the next installment.

KEVIN HART RESPONDS TO OUTRAGE OVER ELLEN DEGENERES’ SUPPORT – (01/07/2019)
Ellen DeGeneres welcomed Kevin Hart onto her show Friday, and her support for him and his potential reinstatement as Oscar host has earned serious blowback on social media. Hart was forced to weigh in himself, and per the latest, he reportedly does not intend to return to host the Oscars (even if the Academy wanted him).
Hart of course famously stepped down for his 2019 Oscars host post after homophobic tweets sent out years ago were resurfaced.
DeGeneres, who is gay, says she is actively campaigning to have him reinstated. She told Hart: “I called [The Academy], I said, ‘Kevin’s on, I have no idea if he wants to come back and host, but what are your thoughts?’ And they were like, ‘Oh my God, we want him to host. We feel like that maybe he misunderstood or it was handled wrong or maybe we said the wrong thing but we want him to host. Whatever we can do we would be thrilled. And he should host the Oscars.’”
CRITICISM
Several LGBTQ activists expressed their disdain for DeGeneres’ position. Wrote prominent activist Deray: “I expected Ellen to actually ask Kevin Hart some sort of challenging question. Anything, really. But instead, it was just one long monologue from Kevin interspersed with Ellen’s approval. That interview made me miss the previous talk show hosts that asked tough questions.”
CNN journalist Don Lemon also denounced Hart and DeGeneres, to which Hart seemed to respond to in an Instagram post, writing: “Basketball players aren’t great until they LEARN how to play the game correctly … A news anchor or journalist does not start at the top…they have to LEARN to develop to be great at their job.”
MIKE POSNER TO ‘MOVE ON’ BY WALKING ACROSS THE U.S. – (01/07/2019)
Mike Posner is ready to “Move On” by walking across the United States.
Posner made the announcement in the video for his new single, “Move On,” which details his struggles since he released the hit “I Took a Pill in Ibiza” in 2015.
In the video, which features clips from over the past few years as well as typed messages from Mike, the singer talks about the emotional lows he’s taken over the past few years: His dad died of brain cancer, he broke up with his girlfriend, and his pal Avicii, who he name checked in “Ibiza,” also passed away. Mike goes on to admit he’s been sad and “feeling off,” but he’s “tired of moping around.”
So he’s decided to start walking across the country on March 1st – a feat that will take him about a year to complete.
He tweeted: “I’m excited to announce that starting March 1, 2019, I will be walking across America. I will start at the Atlantic Ocean and end at the Pacific ocean. The journey will take me most of my 31st year. You are welcome to join at any time. See you out there.”
“Furthermore, I will be attempting to practice deep listening on The Walk,” he continues. “What does this mean? i will be spending periods of my walk compassionately listening to people with as much of my full attention as possible. Here goes!”
“Move On” is featured on Mike’s upcoming new album, A Real Good Kid, which comes out January 18th.
KENDALL JENNER’S ‘BRAVE’ ANNOUNCEMENT OF HAVING ACNE UNDERWHELMS – (01/07/2019)
After Kendall Jenner and mom Kris Jenner teased that the model had a big announcement to make, fans were theorizing what the reveal could be.
Two days later, the 23-year-old’s new partnership with Proactiv debuted during E!’s live Golden Globes red carpet coverage last night and Twitter users were underwhelmed.
Matriarch Kris Jenner had teased big news from her daughter on Instagram Saturday by praising the supermodel “for being so brave and vulnerable.” She described it as Jenner’s “most raw story” yet and said “be prepared to be moved.” The next day, Jenner opened up about her battle with acne and revealed her new partnership with skin care company Proactiv, a year after the reality star’s acne was visible on the Golden Globes red carpet.
“I remember going online and seeing all the horrible things people were saying about me and my skin,” Jenner said in a commercial for Proactiv, which aired during the Golden Globes red carpet show. “I felt so good (that night) that I forgot that I had bad skin.” Social media users were not moved by Jenner’s revelation.
One fan tweeted, “I wish I could get a refund on the time I spent thinking of what the Kendall Jenner announcement would be.”
“ACNE IS NOT THE THING I WANTED TO HAVE IN COMMON WITH KENDALL JENNER,” another user wrote.
Other users, however, sent the reality star support. “Kendall Jenner is so brave for coming out as an ambassador for Pro Activ,” one fan tweeted.
“OMG can’t believe Kendall had to suffer with acne in silence for so long…… so brave….. thank you for coming forward and sharing your story @KendallJenner,” another fan penned, adding the hashtag “#changetheconversation.”
Shortly after, Jenner followed her tweet about her acne with another post that really drove home why a few pimples didn’t stop her from attending the Golden Globes: “honored and humbled to be able to attend the Golden Globes with @voguemagazine . my eyes were opened and my heart is full seeing all of the men and women who were a part of this vital change! i too stand with all women #TimesUp”
