Kim Kardashian Flirts With Tom Brady During Artwork Bid: Report

by

Rumors around their alleged fling didn’t amount to much, but that doesn’t mean that people aren’t still shipping a relationship between Tom Brady and Kim Kardashian. Moreover, a new TMZ report with eyewitnesses as sources shows that the two, if not actually flirting, at least know how to lean into that for an audience. Apparently, the reality star and football icon went to an auction to bid on a George Condo painting at the Reform Alliance Charity in Atlantic City, New Jersey on Saturday night (September 30). Apparently the SKIMS mogul started the process with a $500K bid, which the former New England Patriot one-upped. In fact, they kept that going until launching a full-on bidding war between themselves.

Eyewitnesses labeled their interaction as “super fun and flirty,” TMZ detailed, as they giggled and stared in each other’s direction. Eventually, the bid got to $2 million, at which point event organizers decided to give both Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady a George Condo painting of their own (apparently Brady got the one they were bidding for, and Kim will get her own commissioned piece from the artist). Of course, they still had to cough up $2 million for their artwork. But what dent can that make in their wallet when they sit at the top of their respective fields?

Still, that’s not all the celebrity sightings and hosting that the Reform Alliance had to offer during the weekend. In addition to this auction event, the organization also held a Casino Night seeking “to raise funds to transform probation and parole laws.” Jay-Z, Michael Rubin, and Meek Mill chaired the gathering, and tickets for the gala began at $500K. Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady also hung out at this event, and performers throughout the night included Travis Scott, Lil Baby, and more.Would you have attended this get-together or decided to spend your half-a-million dollars on a George Condo piece?

Regardless, it’s kind of funny to think about Kim and Tom getting their own paintings despite their efforts to dunk on the other. Their rumored romance caught the eyes of thousands of fans and family members, including one reportedly disgruntled Kanye West. We’ll see if this speculation dies down in the future, or if any interaction between the two will result in more buzz. For more news and the latest updates on Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady, come back to HNHH.

The Weeknd Becomes Latest Investor In Senators Bidding War

by

The NHL’s Ottawa Senators are up for sale after the death of long-time owner Eugene Melnyk last year. While the Senators are a team long associated with the NHL, the current iteration of the franchise existed since 1992. They have never won the Stanley Cup, losing 4-1 to Anaheim Ducks in their only appearance in 2007. Furthermore, the Senators have not qualified for the playoffs since 2017.

There are currently four major bids to acquire ownership of the Senators. One bid is led by healthcare mogul Michael Andlauer. Another is helmed by real estate moguls, the Kimel Family. Then there are two Hollywood bids. The first is fronted by Canadian-born actor Ryan Reynolds. Meanwhile, the other is spearheaded by producer Neko Sparks. Spark’s ownership group also includes The Rock and Snoop Dogg. There are also reportedly three other groups interested in purchasing the team. The non-binding deadline to submit a bid is May 15.

Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, was born in Toronto in 1990. According to a report from the Ottawa Sun, it’s The Weeknd’s Canadian roots and love of hockey that is getting him involved in the bidding war for the Senators. The Weeknd is reportedly joining the bid launched by Michael and Jeffrey Kimel. Sources told the Ottawa Sun that The Weeknd has agreed to a “commitment to be involved financially” with the Kimels’ bid.

“He’s going to be a great partner for Ottawa and the NHL,” a source close to The Weeknd said. “The team he works with grew up in Ottawa, so they know the market really well, but he’s the largest musician planet right now. He has the most views, the most streams and he’s a hockey guy.” The source continued, “He doesn’t like to be in the media very often so this really says something that he wants to be part of a bid. He wants to get this deal done, he wants to build something that will be great in Ottawa and he’ll be a good fit. He’s got a lot of connections worldwide.” It’s reported that NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman is eager to have the sale completed by the end of the summer.
