OUTRAGE ERUPTS OVER ARTICLE’S ‘RACIST’ CLAIMS AGAINST PRIYANKA CHOPRA – (12/06/2018)
Please note the following story contains language that could be considered offensive.
Friends, family and fans reacted with outrage and disbelief after New York Magazine’s The Cut published an article titled, “Is Priyanka Chopra and Nick Jonas’s Love for Real?” The critical, skeptical piece has since been taken down, with apologies from the editors, but not before it ricocheted across the internet.
The piece referred to Priyanka, 36, as a “global scam artist.” The pair have spent the past week celebrating their marriage and love in various Hindu and Christian ceremonies; they also granted several interviews to prominent outlets such as Vogue and People, and shared photographs and video of their celebrations. While most people embraced the sharing, others saw it as a publicity grab.
“At times, marriage can be a beautifully wonderful union that warms even the coldest of hearts, but sadly, this union evokes no such feeling,” the post read, according to screenshots of the piece captured and published on social media. “All Nick wanted was a possible fling with Hollywood’s latest It Woman, but instead he wound up staring straight at a life sentence with a global scam artist.”
The piece concluded: “Nick, if you’re reading this, find that horse and gallop away as fast you can!”
The 26-year-old Nick’s older brother Joe condemned the piece, tweeting, sneaking in a reference to Ariana Grande’s latest hit in the process: “This is disgusting. @TheCut should be ashamed to have someone write such evil words. What Nick & Pri have is Beautiful Love. Thank u, Next.”
Joe’s fiancé, and one of Priyanka’s pals and bridesmaids concurred. Sophie Turner tweeted: “This is wildly inappropriate and totally disgusting. Very disappointed that The Cut would give anyone a platform to spew such bulls–t.”
As many critics pointed out, both Priyanka and Nick had established, global careers before they even met, and to imply that Priyanka was using Nick for a leg up in Hollywood seems churlish at best, and as several fans shared on social media, “racist” at it’s worst.

GWEN STEFANI, RITA ORA & MORE HELP RAISE FUNDS FOR WOOLSEY FIRE AT ‘ONE LOVE MALIBU FESTIVAL’ – (12/04/2018)
Three weeks after thousands were evacuated from Malibu and the surrounding areas by the devastating Woolsey Fire, some of the biggest names in music and entertainment came together to fundraise for victims at the One Love Malibu Festival at King Gillette Ranch Sunday in Malibu.
Gwen Stefani, Katy Perry, Rita Ora and Robin Thicke were among the stars performed during the event.
Courteney Cox, Demi Moore, Nikki Reed and Johnny Galecki served as presenters while Linda Perry, Natasha Bedingfield, Alanis Morissette, Joe Walsh, Rita Wilson, Brandi Carlile, Taylor Hawkins, Macy Gray and Angel Haze also hit the stage for their own sets.
Speakers included Dick Van Dyke, Demi Moore and Whitney Cummings.
Profits from tickets sold to the festival went to the Malibu Foundation to support those who lost homes and belongings in the fire.
Money was also raised by both a live and silent auction – and Katy Perry outbid a fan at the auction for a date with her boyfriend Orlando Bloom.
Katy Perry said she participated in the benefit concert because one of her band members lost his house in the Woolsey fire. “This guy is my friend and we’ve been on tour for the last couple of years and he lost his house in the fires,” the star told the crowd. “He’s got the greatest attitude and perspective in life and he’s the coolest guy, so I’m really here for him and everyone else who has been affected by this horribleness. But we have an opportunity to grow together now.”
During his set, Thicke shared that his home burned down in the fire and thanked attendees for “lending your hearts and lending your wallets and your time to support the people who did lose things. God bless you all.” Walsh said two musicians in his band also lost their homes, and Morissette dedicated the line “the fire trucks are coming up around the bend” in her song “You Learn” to firefighters.
During the auction portion of the event, Katy got on stage to auction off a date with her boyfriend Orlando Bloom. The date included a motorcycle ride with the actor, as well as lunch.
“You’re holding him in a way that I am not excited about,” Katy told the crowd about the motorcycle ride. “You’re holding his pecs and his six-pack — and it’s so glorious! You get to hold on to Orlando for about 45 minutes… and then, you get to stare into his brown eyes!”
Then, when a fan bid $20,000, Katy decided she herself wanted to bid $50,000 for a date with her own boyfriend and she outbid the fan.
PETE DAVIDSON ADDRESSES CYBERBULLYING FOLLOWING SPLIT FROM ARIANA GRANDE – (12/04/2018)
Pete Davidson wants the negativity to stop. Since the Saturday Night Live star returned to Instagram last week following his split from Ariana Grande, he has not encountered a warm reception.
Fans of Grande’s have poured into his comments section, accusing him of ending the engagement. In a heartbreaking new post, Davidson shares his past—and current—struggles with mental health, saying he hopes his openness will raise awareness in general about the huge impact cyberbullying can have on victims.
“I’ve kept my mouth shut. Never mentioned any names, never said a word about anyone or anything,” the 25-year-old comedian writes. “I’m trying to understand how when something happens to a guy the whole entire world just trashes him without any facts or frame of reference. Especially in today’s climate where everyone loves to be offended and upset it truly is mind-boggling.”
“I’ve been getting online bullied and in public by people for nine months,” he continues. “I’ve spoken about BPD and being suicidal publicly only in the hopes that it will help bring awareness and help kids like myself who don’t want to be on this earth. I just want you guys to know. No matter how hard the internet or anyone tries to make me kill myself. I won’t. I’m upset I even have to say this. To all those holding me down and seeing this for what it is — I see you and I love you.”
Sympathy poured in from fans, with one writing “please stay strong,” and another saying, “You are amazing!”
