Travis Kelce Hangs With Christian McCaffrey As Taylor Swift Absence Continues

by

As Taylor Swift continues to tour Asia, Travis Kelce is making some new friends. Kelce was spotted dining at Nobu with Christian McCaffrey and the Niners RB’s fiancee, Olivia Culpo. The couple was there for a product launch alongside the likes of Chrissy Teigen. It’s unclear what Kelce was doing other than chilling with CMC, whom he reportedly befriended last offseason.

Kelce has been back in the States for about a week after partying with Swift in Sydney. Kelce was spotted vibing to “Love Story” during a club outing in Las Vegas. The tight end had reunited with his Chiefs teammates for a full-blown night out in Vegas, the city where the team captured the Super Bowl two weeks ago. For many fans, Kelce vibing to Swift’s music has become not just a common occurrence, but a little bit of a meme.

However, it’s not all been good times for Kelce. Kelce and Swift are continuing to face a wave of backlash from PETA and other animal rights activists for their trip to Sydney Zoo last month. However, the couple has been given a “pass” by noted PETA supporter Jennifer Coolidge. While Coolidge said she “understood” why PETA was mad, she didn’t think that Kelce and Swift’s date was malicious. Instead, she saw it as just a public couple going on what they considered a romantic date.

The couple were spotted enjoying the popular tourist attraction last week between shows on Swift’s ongoing Eras Tour. Earlier in the week, Swifties had been gushing over Swift’s reactions to the various exhibits during a solo trip to the zoo. Kelce, who was spotted in Las Vegas earlier in the week, reportedly flew from LA to Hawaii. He then stayed the night in the island state earlier in the week. He then reportedly transferred to a private jet that departed for Sydney the day before he was spotted at the zoo.

We can’t publish the photos of Kelce in this article. However, you can find it at the Via link below.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian infamous got divorced from one another a couple of years ago. Although Kim tried to make it work, it got to a point where things were beyond repair. Overall, Ye did not take it too well at first. However, he now has a new wife who he seems to love very much. He and Bianca Censori have been everywhere the last couple of weeks, especially with Vultures now on the horizon. As for Kim, she has been doing her own thing, and it seems like she is single.

A few days ago, the two reunited for what was a pretty awkward basketball game. They didn’t seem like they wanted much to do with one another, and the photos that were taken certainly proved that. However, the two got a second chance to reunite recently. According to TMZ, Kim and Ye were out at dinner at Nobu in Malibu. They were not alone, as North and a group of her friends were there, as well. Needless to say, it wasn’t the one-on-one get-together that some KimYe Stans would have been hoping for.

Kanye West Gifts Nobu Founder His Iconic Sock Shoes Straight Off His Feet

by

In a move that only Kanye West could pull off, the rap icon recently met the founder of the renowned Nobu restaurant chain. While they met, he gifted him with an item that’s as peculiar as it is uniquely Yeezy. The encounter took place at Dubai’s Atlantis Royale, where Kanye crossed paths with none other than Nobu Matsuhisa himself. However, it wasn’t a typical celebrity meet-and-greet. In true Kanye fashion, he took the unconventional route and, without missing a beat, gifted the culinary maestro his own Yeezy sock shoes—straight off his feet.

The snapshot capturing this moment promptly made its way to social media. In the photo, Kanye and Nobu can be seen sharing a moment. West is standing barefoot, while Nobu is lifting his leg to the camera to show off his new shoes. The internet thought this was funny and amusing. “Bro thinks he’s Jesus,” commented one user, alluding to Kanye’s tendency to be unexpected. And his sometimes controversial self-comparisons to biblical figures.

Avril Lavigne & Tyga Hug Outside NOBU, Artists Leave Dinner In Same Vehicle

by

In the week following Valentine’s Day, there’s been plenty of relationship drama playing out in the media. The situation surrounding Machine Gun Kelly and Megan Fox continues to captivate curious fans as the actress denies any rumours of infidelity. At the same time, their good friend Avril Lavigne has been spending plenty of time with a certain rapper lately.

As TMZ notes, the Canadian rocker was engaged to Good Mourning creator Mod Sun last March. Earlier this month he spoke candidly with E! News about a song dedicated to her on his recently released God Save The Teen album, called “Avril’s Song.” Speaking on his relationship, the artist said, “I have found such a partner in this world to go through the chaos that life gives you. I have found that person. I’m with a real grown woman who has gone through it all 10 times over. She makes me a better person.”

So… Why is Avril Cozying Up with Tyga?

As shown in the images above, Lavigne was photographed outside NOBU in Los Angeles on Sunday (February 19). At the time, she was grabbing dinner with a group of friends – including “Rack City” hitmaker Tyga. In the snapshots circulating online, they stand by the restaurant’s valet booth and share a hug while waiting for their vehicles.

It turns out the unexpected duo was travelling together from the popular eatery. Many thought their public display of affection was nothing more than a goodbye hug. Now that we know they left NOBU in the same car, though, eyebrows are being raised online. A source tells TMZ that Lavigne and Tyga have become close recently. The nature of their relationship, however, remains unclear at this time.

Avril’s Relationship with Mod Sun

The pair’s aforementioned engagement took place in the world’s most romantic city – Paris. They romanced each other for approximately a year before the creative popped the question. On his new single dedicated to the “Sk8er Boi” artist, Mod markedly sings about Lavigne helping him through some of his darkest days and suicidal struggles.

“She blew me a kiss, And I didn’t wanna blow my brains out anymore / And she is everything I’m not. Without her, I am lost,” are among the lyrics penned by the 35-year-old on “Avril’s Song.” Reports reveal that Mod Sun wasn’t at dinner with his partner and Tyga over the weekend, however, they did attend a pre-Grammys party as a couple earlier in February. Check back later for any updates on the situation.

North West Joins Ye & Bianca Censori For Nobu Dinner Date

by

In this day and age, blended families are becoming increasingly common. Some former couples know how to make co-parenting look like a breeze. Of course, others are still mastering the art of raising children with the person who broke their heart. One set of exes, in particular, who have stepped up their game is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

The former was dating Pete Davidson following her and the rapper’s tumultuous split. Her ex didn’t hesitate to put her on blast for allowing the comedian to spend time with their four young children. However, the socialite has maintained a positive attitude through Ye’s various relationships. She’s even told the media that she’s happy to see his partners meeting their kids if things progress to that level.

It’s no secret that the 45-year-old is protective of his offspring. This likely explains why many of his 2022 flings didn’t make the family cut. Now that he’s once again a married man, though, it looks like West is ready for the kids to meet their new stepmom.

According to Daily Mail, the Yeezy founder stepped out on Sunday (January 22) for a dinner date at Nobu. His date was Censori, whose long, dark locks were cut off in favour of a platinum blonde short cut. His eldest daughter, North West, also came with them. Videos show the 27-year-old and her man waiting for the TikTok starlet to arrive alongside her security team and a friend.

Everyone in attendance looked as stylish as expected. Ye donned black cargo pants, a green jacket, and his infamous boots. The architect layered up to beat the cool weather in an oversized leather jacket, black tights, and a maroon purse. Arguably the best part of her look was her white fur-clad over-the-knee boots.

It remains unclear if this was North and Censori’s first time crossing paths, or if she and the West children have been getting to know each other for some time now.

Previously the “Flashing Lights” hitmaker was planning to fly to Australia to meet his new in-laws. Seeing as they were dining on the west coast last night, though, it looks as though the flight down under will be saved for a later date.

Elsewhere in the news, this past weekend Azealia Banks didn’t hold back when publicly sharing her thoughts about Ye. Specifically, the “212” hitmaker ranted about the Atlanta-born artist’s “abusive” abortion story. As you may recall, it was about North and came out during his past presidential run.

Diddy Kisses Mystery Woman After Nobu Dinner Date: Photos

by

It seems fatherhood has Diddy feeling at the top of his game – according to his current dating roster, that is. Earlier this month, the multihyphenate shared via Twitter that he welcomed a seventh child, named Love Sean Combs, recently. In the wake of that bombshell, sleuths quickly discovered that baby’s mother to be 28-year-old Dana Tran. At this time, the nature of her relationship with Puff remains unknown.

As gossip began to circulate about the infant, who was actually born in October, Yung Miami was quick to enter the chat and make it known that she’s not anyone’s “side bitch.” Previously, Akademiks had used his own social media feeds to throw shade at Caresha. Specifically, he trashed her for continuing to date the Bad Boy without commitment.

After a back-and-forth ensued between those two, Diddy himself interjected and let the world know that he doesn’t play about his City Girl. “[Yung Miami] is not my side chick. Never has been, never will be,” he wrote earlier this week.

“She’s very important and special to me, and I don’t play about my Shawty Wop. I don’t discuss things on the internet and I will not start today,” the “I’ll Be Missing You” hitmaker concluded.

He may say he doesn’t play about the “Twerkulator” rap diva, but that doesn’t mean he’s willing to stop having his share of other fun. Just a few days ago, Diddy was romantically linked to Shawntya Joseph, a social media personality and YouTuber.

Photos of the two strolling through New York on December 9th began circulating shortly after Combs broke his baby news. Since then, another woman was photographed getting up close and personal with him.

As The Shade Room reports, Diddy spent his Friday (December 16) night on a dinner date with a pretty young thing at Nobu. Her identity currently remains unknown, though the paparazzi images taken make it clear that she’s got the producer’s eye.

In the comment section, some users are speculating that all of these headlines could be a part of an album rollout for Puff. Others couldn’t help but praise the Harlem-born star on his impressive roster.

“That line-up is crazy,” one Instagram follower wrote. “God a nice a$$ c00chie collection,” someone else chimed in.

Do you think Diddy is getting serious with any of the women in his life, or are his antics all part of a PR stunt? Let us know below, and check in later for any pop culture news updates.
