Lori Harvey Posts Throwback Photos From Luxe Brazil Trip

by

As celebrities from all over flocked to carnival events along South America and neighboring islands, Lori Harvey apparently dealt with a case of FOMO. The socialite took to Instagram a few days ago and made note about the past week’s festivities. “Seeing all the footage from carnival made me miss Brazil,” she wrote. The 26-year-old KITH model says she can’t wait to return to the country, where she had one of her “favorite trips ever!”

According to her newly-released photos, Lori Harvey lounged at the Copacabana Palace in Rio de Janeiro during her stay. While there, she also dined at their Michelin-starred Ristorante Hotel Cipriani and enjoyed drinks on a yacht as she perused the city. Harvey even took a trip to see Brazil’s gargantuan Christ the Redeemer statue. Jordanian-Romanian shoe designer and friend Amina Muaddi joined Lori during her trip to the South American country-when is currently unknown. In addition, the two ladies saw screensaver-worthy sunsets along the beach and partied with locals during their luxurious vacay.

Lori Harvey Reflects On Rio de Janeiro Vacation

Lori Harvey is a mainstay in the media circuit for her trips as much as she is for her relationships. The Memphis beauty’s latest fling with Snowfall’s Damson Idris initially had many wondering if there was any chemistry between them. Though a woman of few words, Harvey snapped back at spectators who commented on their distance during the premiere of Snowfall’s final season. When an Instagram user chuckled at how far apart they were standing, Lori replied directly to them, stating she had asked him to. Apparently, she had on body makeup and simply didn’t want it to get on Damson’s suit. “Y’all try to find a problem with everything,” Lori added, ultimately laughing it off.

This is Harvey’s latest relationship since her year-and-a-half relationship with actor and director Michael B. Jordan. The Creed star has publicly spoken on their union since their reported split in June 2022. He even went on to joke about the breakup during his hosting stint on Saturday Night Live, calling it “her loss.” The two are rumored to have broken up due to Jordan’s alleged cheating ways, to which Lori Harvey has yet to comment on. Jason Lee says she “just stared” at him when he brought up the allegations at Essence Festival last year.

by

Between her stunning Instagram photos and her new single, “Pray It Away,” Chloe Bailey’s name has markedly been on the tip of countless tongues lately. She previously started 2023 with a photoshoot wearing a salacious golden bikini. Now, her efforts are primarily focused on the promotion of her upcoming debut album.

The Atlanta-born entertainer dropped her song and its accompanying music video on Friday. Throughout the visual, she sports various different looks. Among them are an elegant white dress and long, bright red locs that stand out in contrast to her neutral-coloured outfits.

It seems Bailey filmed at least parts of “Pray It Away” recently, as she rocks the same bold hairdo in her latest IG upload. On Monday (January 30), the R&B starlet shared a “Dubai/Brazil dump” with her 5.7 million followers.

She travelled to the United Arab Emirates earlier this month in support of her mentor Beyoncé. The mother of three allegedly earned $45M for her one-hour performance in the luxurious eastern country. Other famous faces at the show were Nia Long, Terrence J, Kendall Jenner, and Jay-Z.

Of course, Queen B was the main event. However, Bailey still found other fun activities to try out during her travels. She obviously spent plenty of time out on the water, kicking her dump off with a bootylicious snapshot of her posing for the camera on a water floaty.

Next up, the 24-year-old looks to have tried her hand at parasailing. In a video, she and a men float over the astounding green and blue landscape below them. They’re clearly enjoying the birds-eye-view experience.

Other uploads see Bailey smiling big while spending time with little ones, jet skiing, practicing her jumps, and showing off the sun-kissed freckles quickly spreading across her face from so much fun in the Sun.

Are you excited to hear Chloe Bailey’s debut solo album, In Pieces, this March? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

World Cup Star Richarlison Gets Massive Neymar Tattoo

by

This year’s World Cup has featured numerous heroes from various different countries. One such hero was none other than Brazil’s Richarlison. While Neymar is the superstar of the team, it was Richarlison who had an amazing tournament. However, it wasn’t enough to help the team get past the quarter-final.

Regardless, Richarlison ended the tournament with three goals, and fans were impressed with his showing. Subsequently, Richarlison will be someone to watch out for in 2026, as the World Cup goes to United States, Canada, and even Mexico.

Richarlison’s World Cup Tat

Following the team’s loss to Croatia, Richarlison decided to get a tattoo inspired by some of Brazil’s best players. In the Instagram post below from Inked Central, you can see that this tattoo includes himself, Neymar, and the Brazilian legend, Ronaldo.

There is even a message from Pele here, which makes it that much better. Overall, the tattoo is incredibly impressive as it features a realistic style. PK and Dom Tattoo were the artists behind this piece, and it is remarkable what they were able to do on Richarlison’s back.

For many, this display of pride might be a bit too much. After all, who gets a tattoo of their own face on their body? However, tattoos are personal to the people who get them, and it’s clear that this meant a lot to the Brazilian star. Neymar is a beloved teammate of his, while Ronaldo and Pele are both World Cup winners.

While they may have been sent home early, there is no doubt that Brazil will be in the running to win next time around. They are perpetual contenders, and they are currently building a squad that can contend with anyone. Only time will tell whether Richarlison and Neymar can become champions of the world.
