ARIANA GRANDE IS NOT BACK WITH RICKY ALVAREZ – (12/12/2018)
Ariana Grande has shut down rumors that she’s reunited with her ex-boyfriend Ricky Alvarez, one of several men she mentions in the lyrics of “thank u, next.”
The rumors started after Ari exchanged teasing messages with Alvarez over the song’s lyrics, writing, “I’m sorry you got the worst line it was meant v. lovingly,” and he responded, “Nothing but gratitude.” Then, she was spotted hanging out with Ricky in New York.
Then, on Monday, Ariana commented on an Instagram photo of Ricky that showed him wearing a mustard-colored sweater, writing, “These colors are sick” – and fans went nuts.
When one fan commented, “WHATS ABOUT YOU AND ARIANA??? WE ALL WANT TO KNOW,” Ariana wrote, “we’re friends everyone take a big ol breather.”
In the “thank u, next,” video, you can see Ricky’s page in Ari’s “Burn Book.” It says, “good times man,” “friends forever” and “great dancer.”
JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE RESCHEDULES ‘MAN OF THE WOODS TOUR’ DATES FOR NEXT YEAR – (12/12/2018)

The trek is slated to kick off again on January 4th, with a show in Washington D.C. The first of the rescheduled dates will take place on January 28th in Denver, Colorado.
Justin had been postponing tour dates since October as he dealt with ongoing vocal issues. Earlier this month, he announced he’d be scrapping the rest of his December shows.
“My vocal cords are healing, but they are not all the way back to normal, so my doctors want me to continue to rest my voice. They have asked me to hold off on singing until next month,” he told fans on Instagram.
Justin added, “Thank you for understanding – I see all of your posts and I appreciate the support and the love. I look forward to coming back stronger than I was before. More to come on the rescheduled dates.”

MEGHAN MARKLE BREAKS ROYAL FASHION PROTOCOL AS TWITTER REACTS TO SCARY WAX CREATIONS – (12/12/2018)
Horrors, Meghan Markle has broken royal fashion protocol yet again! The world’s most rebellious royal made a surprise appearance at the 2018 British Fashion Awards in London, and while many admired her stunning Givenchy gown and blossoming bump, others were quick to note her dark nail polish.
Evidently, Goth nails are a no-go for royals.
Meghan presented Givenchy’s artistic director Clare Waight Kelly with the Designer of the Year Award. Kelly, of course, designed her wedding dress. “This woman is so amazing,” Keller gushed during her acceptance speech. “I got to know Meghan on such a personal level. To have someone like that trust you on such a personal moment in their life… I can’t thank you enough because it was the most beautiful moment.”
The dark polish was wild enough by royal standards, but Meghan got tongues wagging again when she opted to have some fun in a photobooth with Rosamund Pike and Keller.
WAX FIGURES
Meanwhile, the Internet panicked after Madame Tussauds in Berlin unveiled two new wax creations designed to look like Meghan and Harry. The verdict? “Creepy,” “unsettling,” “inaccurate,” “terrifying,” were just a few of the choice adjectives deployed on Twitter to describe the wax masks.
The most “disturbing” aspect is, there are actual people wearing the masks, acting out various Christmas-themed scenarios like opening presents and chilling by the fire.
DEMI LOVATO AND MEGHAN MARKLE ARE 2018’S MOST-SEARCHED PEOPLE: The public has a lot of questions about celebrities, especially Demi Lovato and Meghan Markle, who topped the list of most-searched people, Google reports. Behind them were Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Logan Paul, Khloe Kardashian, Eminem, Urban Meyer, Ariana Grande, Rick Ross and Cardi B.

Thanks to the video, “thank u, next” has returned to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It racked up 93.8 million streams last week, according to Nielsen Music, the biggest weekly total ever for a track by a female artist. The previous record of 84.5 million was held by Taylor Swift’s “Look What You Made me Do.” The only songs that have had more streams in a week are “In My Feelings” and “God’s Plan,” by Drake, and “Harlem Shake” by Baauer. Ariana’s song.s also now the first No. 1 hit by a woman to be on top for four weeks total. The last time that happened was in 2016 with Sia’s “Cheap Thrills,” featuring Sean Paul. “Thank u, next” is the longest-running Hot 100 No. 1 by a woman without any guest artists since Adele’s “Hello,” which started a 10-week run on top in November of 2015.

KEVIN HART STEPS DOWN AS HOST OF OSCARS AFTER ‘INSENSITIVE’ TWEETS RESURFACE – (12/07/2018)
Last night (December 6th), Kevin Hart announced that he will no longer be hosting the Oscars next year after receiving backlash for some “insensitive” tweets he posted from 2010 and 2011 . The comedian was being criticized for reportedly deleting the tweets and refused to apologize. One alleged tweet from 2011 read, “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay’.”
Kevin initially responded in an Instagram video saying that he has grown and is not the same person he was eight years ago. He said, [“I swear man, our world is becoming beyond crazy. …Guys, I’m almost 40 years old. If you don’t believe that people don’t change, grow and evolve as they get older, I don’t know what to tell you.”
He continued, [“If you wanna hold people in a position where they always have to justify and explain their past, do you! I’m the wrong guy, man. I’m in a great place … all I do is spread positivity. If you’re not doing that, you’re not on my page.”
KEVIN SAYS THE OSCARS GAVE HIM AN ULTIMATUM
A couple of hours after Kevin released the video on Instagram, he released another one saying that the Academy gave him an ultimatum. He explained via IG, [So I just got a call from the Academy and that call basically said apologize for your tweets of old or we’re gonna have to move on and find another host. I chose to pass. I passed on the apology. “
He continued, [“The reason why I passed because I’ve addressed it several times … I’m not gonna continue to go back and tap into the days of old when I moved on and I’m in a completely different space in my life. …I’m not gonna do it man. … Regardless, Academy I’m appreciate of the opportunity and if it goes away, no harm no foul.”
KEVIN STEPS DOWN
At around midnight, Kevin released a statement saying that he will no longer be hosting the show. He said, “I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscar’s….this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists. I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”
He continued, “I’m sorry that I hurt people.. I am evolving and want to continue to do so. My goal is to bring people together not tear us apart. Much love & appreciation to the Academy. I hope we can meet again.”
