Damson Idris’ most notable project to date (aside from his ongoing romance with Lori Harvey) would have to be his work on FX’s Snowfall. Aside from taking on the role of Franklin Saint, he also made waves with his appearance in Donald Glover’s Swarm. Though it was short-lived, his steamy sex scene with Chloe Bailey certainly kept the English actor fresh in viewer’s finds. Now, to top all of that, Idris has more celebrating to do with the announcement of his casting opposite Brad Pitt in an upcoming original film from Apple.
The news came on Friday (April 7), via Deadline. Joseph Kosinski will be directing, and Idris will reportedly play the role of a race car driver in the F1-oriented story. It’s been said that dozens of actors were considered for the coveted part, but ultimately, the 31-year-old won producers over with his charm. “The untitled feature follows Pitt as a racer who comes out of retirement to mentor a younger driver and take his final stab at glory on the track as the younger driver’s teammate,” the outlet reports. Not only are fans of Idris celebrating the big news, but his girlfriend made sure to give the actor his flowers too.
Damson Idris’ Career Continues to Soar
@loriharvey/Instagram Stories
Reposting an announcement from The Hollywood Reporter on her Instagram Story this weekend, Harvey praised her man with a simple but effective “!!!!!!!” Seeing as the two are currently on the baecation of their dreams together, it’s likely she was able to shower him with much more praise during their time soaking up the sun together. Following that, the model also shared a sweet selfie with her man, showing them both sun-kissed and smiling in the tropics.
“Happy Easter ,” she wrote in small white font near the bottom of the screen. While some haters previously claimed that Lori Harvey and Damson Idris were lacking chemistry during their red carpet debut, the couple has been proving the opposite to be true in recent weeks. See more photos from their ongoing vacation here, and make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.
As 2022 came to a close, former lovers Ari Fletcher and G Herbo previously made headlines when the latter admitted to cheating on the former. The confession came during the rapper’s stint on Caresha Please, at which time Yung Miami also asked him plenty of NSFW bedroom questions. “I was young, I was dumb. I ain’t know no better, man, I was just doin’ shit,” he recalled of his past infidelity during the interview. “Me and her was having our differences, but that was no excuse to cheat on her,” Herbo later added, seemingly taking responsibility for his past immaturity.
Following that, Fletcher said during an Instagram Live session that she was waiting for her co-parent to be “upfront and honest” about their situation. “I always felt like it was just me fighting against all of these people, trying to ‘tell my truth,’” the social media starlet explained. While the past cheating is obviously a tender spot for both Herbo and his ex to discuss, they’ve obviously managed to put the past behind them in favour of healthily raising their son, Yosohn. The young boy’s fifth birthday took place recently. To commemorate the occasion, a huge party was thrown in his honour.
In a clip reposted by @theneighborhoodtalk, the curly-haired child poses with his mother, both of them wearing superhero costumes. While Yosohn bashfully stands by Fletcher’s side, she lifts his arms up, encouraging him to dance along to the music blasting in the background. Before the Story post comes to an end, we see Ari and her offspring cross their arms over their chest, Black Panther style. “@therealkylesister, THE BIG 5,” text written by the original poster across the screen reads.
Along with that, blogs have obtained a photo of G Herbo and Yosohn, the birthday boy’s face hidden behind a mask. The Survivor’s Remorse artist was also partially in costume, though his face covering sat on top of his head to reveal his true identity. See for yourself above, and revisit the father of three’s appearance on Caresha Please below.
Whether they like it or not, many celebrity couples today often find the most intimate details of their lives up for debate on the internet. Earlier this weekend, a post went viral asking users to pick between three famous couples to spend an evening with – after signing an NDA, of course. The options were Megan Thee Stallion and Pardison Fontaine, Teyana Taylor and Iman Shumpert, and finally, Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade. The latter pair was an undeniably popular pick. However, the Bring It On starlet made it known that she and her husband may not be as freaky as everyone thinks.
“Not us,” she quote tweeted the original upload. “Y’all ’bout to be watching a lot of ‘Lakefront Bargain’ on HGTV. My back hurts just reading this,” Union added, earning her plenty of laughs. She may be 50 now, but the mother of one’s fantastic physique still has plenty of social media users lusting after her. Of course, there’s also her super handsome athlete husband.

Not us. Yall bout to be watching alot of Lakefront Bargain on HGTV. My back hurts just reading this. https://t.co/t7lr7MM8pM
As expected, Union’s response brought in plenty of comedic reactions. “Oh now we definitely choosing y’all,” someone wrote alongside a SpongeBob GIF. It finds the lead character and his pal Patrick Star slumped over on the couch watching TV and eating snacks. “You really said, ‘Pick somebody else!” another user chimed in. They obviously caught onto the Nebraska-born starlet’s obvious reluctance to have her sex life dissected by strangers.
“As long as we change to Food Network when ‘House Hunters International’ comes on because my blood pressure can’t take that show,” one more funny response reads. Besides entertaining fans on Twitter, the Hollywood icon also shared content on Instagram earlier this weekend, giving us a wholesome sneak peek into her Good Friday, spent with Dwyane and his daughter, Zaya Wade. Elsewhere, the couple was photographed soaking up the sun at a Miami beach together. Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to Gabrielle Union’s response, and let us know which of the three couples you would spend a night with in the comments.
Taylor Swift and Joe Alwyn have broken up, according to a new report from ET. The outlet says that the two called it quits several weeks ago at this point. The couple had been together for over six years.
ET also cites sources that say the split was amicable and “it was not dramatic.” They added that “the relationship had just run its course. It’s why [Alwyn] hasn’t been spotted at any shows.” As of last October, sources for the outlet reported that Swift and Alwyn were “doing great.”

Though the two mostly stayed quiet about their relationship, Swift recently discussed their dynamic in relation to her song, “Lavender Haze.” Speaking with ET, she confirmed she based the track on their romance. “I happened on the phrase ‘lavender haze’ when I was watching Mad Men, and I looked it up because I thought it sounded cool, and it turns out that it’s a common phrase used in the ’50s where they would just describe being in love,” she said at the time. “If you were in the lavender haze that meant you were in that all-encompassing love glow. I thought that was really beautiful.”
She further added: “I guess, theoretically, when you’re in the lavender haze you’ll do anything to stay there and not let people bring you down off of that cloud. I think a lot of people have to deal with this now, not just ‘public figures,’ because we live in the era of social media, and if the world finds out that you’re in love with somebody they’re going to weigh in on it. Like my relationship for six years, we’ve had to dodge weird rumors, tabloid stuff and we just ignore it. This song is sort of about the act of ignoring that stuff to protect the real stuff.” Swift is currently traveling the world on her The Eras tour. She will stop in Tampa, Florida, next week.
Easter long weekend is finally upon us, and that means that plenty of celebrities are spending time with their loved ones. Among those chiefly in the festive spirit right now are Gabrielle Union and Dwyane Wade, who spent their Good Friday in the company of each other and their beautiful children. Yesterday (April 7), the Bring It On actress dropped off a photo dump with her clan, making sure to let her followers know exactly what she’s grateful for this holiday season. “Making this Friday a good one,” her caption reads, the Instagram carousel kicking off with a sweet hug between Union and her partner.
Following that, the 50-year-old included a current favourite quote. “Not a soul in this world can take away what destiny has your name written on,” it states. Elsewhere we see the rumoured “Black Hollywood mean girl” showing off the luscious green view surrounding her, the clip ending in a surprise appearance from her step-daughter, Zaya Wade. The young transgender icon also appears in some photos with Union, as does her father. To end the post off, she shared a video taking in the sunset via a car’s passenger seat mirror, Beyoncé’s “Love On Top” loudly blasting in the background.
As Page Six reports, that’s not all the Union-Wade’s had in store for their outdoor activities this long weekend. Gabrielle and Dwyane were captured on camera by paparazzi yesterday, splashing around at a beach in Miami. The mother of one looked undeniably amazing in her tiny yellow bikini, which markedly showed off her toned abs and glowing skin. For the athlete’s part, he donned white swim trunks and a black hat, both parents adding shades to their looks to protect their eyes from the bright Florida sun.
Aside from showing gratitude for and spending time with her loved ones recently, the Nebraska native has also been showing support for the LSU Women’s Basketball team. They recently took home their first title in the program’s history, earning them all the flowers from sports fanatics across the country. Find photos from Gabrielle Union’s beautiful day at the beach with Dwyane Wade here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.
The world of celebrity relationships is always ripe for speculation, especially involving two famous artists from the hip-hop scene. The internet is always buzzing about Saweetie—the star known for her hit song “My Type.” However, there are rumors about her and Offset, a member of the chart-topping group Migos and husband of Cardi B. Saweetie is said to be dating these days; the internet can’t help but bring up her relationship with Quavo, Offset’s groupmate and cousin.
Saweetie-Offset Saga Timeline

Saweetie and Offset were rumored to have a romantic relationship in early 2021. However, both parties denied the rumors and claimed they were just friends. In March 2021, Saweetie announced that she had broken up with her boyfriend, Quavo, after two years of dating. Shortly after the announcement, TMZ posted a video of Quavo and Saweetie getting into a physical altercation in an elevator.
Following the video’s release, rumors circulated that Saweetie had cheated on Quavo with Offset. However, Saweetie and Offset denied the allegations. Despite the denials, fans speculate about the alleged relationship between Saweetie and Offset. Some have even gone as far as to create conspiracy theories about the situation.
Soon after, Quavo’s new album with Takeoff, Only Built For Infinity Links, was released in October 2022, and fans believed that the song “Messy” was Quavo was alluding to an affair. Although Quavo did not mention specific names, many fans believe he was referring to his cousin Offset sleeping with his girlfriend Saweetie, implying that it was the reason behind the Migo’s sudden break up in November 2022.
Cardi B, Offset’s wife, was unusually silent on the matter. The rapping queen has been known to speak out on speculations about her personal life. However, Cardi B explained on The Jason Lee Podcast that she didn’t want to feed into the rumors. “You know why I was quiet?” Cardi asked. “I was quiet because one thing I’m gonna do, I’m gonna find out the truth. And you know that I was finding out that truth.”
What the Parties Have Said (Or Not Said)

So far, neither Saweetie nor Offset has issued a public statement addressing the rumors. Saweetie, who has over 15 million followers on Instagram, has posted on her social media since the scandal broke out. Still, none of them directly refer to Offset or the allegations. Offset has been active on Twitter, but his tweets have not mentioned Saweetie or the rumors. He has retweeted some positive messages from fans and promoted music-related projects. Still, his silence on the topic has fueled speculation that he may be trying to avoid the controversy.
Offset & Quavo Relationship

Offset and Quavo are not only bandmates but also cousins. They grew up together in Georgia and had been making music together for over a decade. Their close relationship is apparent in their music. Their relationship has been the subject of various rumors and controversies. The most recent dispute between the two was during the 2023 Grammys. According to TMZ, the groupmates argued with one another backstage. All this reportedly happened before Quavo went on stage to honor Takeoff, the late third member of Migos, during the “In Memoriam” portion of the Grammys. However, Offset extinguished rumors that he and his fellow Migos member got into an altercation, saying, “What tf look like fighting my brother.”
Saweetie & Quavo

Saweetie and Quavo’s relationship was filled with drama. One of the most controversial moments occurred in March 2021 when a video surfaced online showing the couple in a physical altercation in an elevator. The video sparked outrage and concern among fans, with many calling for Quavo to be held accountable for his actions.
Following the incident, Saweetie released a statement on Twitter, saying that she had endured “too much betrayal and hurt behind the scenes.” She also said she was “emotionally checked out” of the relationship. Quavo also addressed the situation, saying that he had never physically abused Saweetie and was disappointed that their private dispute had become public.
Social Media Reactions
The news of Saweetie and Offset’s alleged affair has caused a stir on social media. Some fans have pointed out that the rumors are baseless. It is unfair to attack the artists without concrete evidence. Many support the two, stating that they should be allowed to live without constant scrutiny and criticism.
Nicki Minaj just took to Instagram to wish her husband Kenneth Petty a happy birthday. Not only that, but she took the chance to reference what role he plays in her Barb fandom. “HBD KEN LOVE BARBIE,” she captioned a picture of the two of them together, presumably a recent one. Currently, both are dealing with Petty’s legal troubles, which stems from two decades ago and is ongoing for various reasons. For one, he reportedly failed to register as a sex offender in certain jurisdictions and threatened his former accuser, trying to get her to drop charges and her side of the story.
Furthermore, many criticized Nicki Minaj for seemingly turning a blind eye to many of these accusations and court developments. However, that’s not to say that she stands completely separated from her husband’s legal woes. In fact, Minaj recently tried to sanction Petty’s accuser and her legal team to no avail. To elaborate, Jennifer Hough claimed that the couple harassed her and her daughter to try to get her to drop the case, in addition to bribing her.
However, this case is not that simple. Moreover, recently leaked footage seemingly shows Hough stating that she was pressured into pressing charges in the first place. “There’s no statute of limitations on perjury,” she said in the leaked footage. “Perjury is when you lie under oath. And regardless, if I made a statement or didn’t make a statement, that is the reason why I stood up in court and I said, when the judge asked, ‘Like, yo does anybody have anything to say before he is sentenced?’
“I stood up and I said, ‘Your honor, I’m the person who pressed the charges,’” Hough continued. “‘I would like to drop the charges. I made a huge mistake. This was a –‘ this was in court. In front of his family, in front of friends, in front of everybody. Whatever. And they was like, ‘Take it to the D.A. and nobody wanted to hear s**t.’” Given the case’s complicated nature, stick around on HNHH for the latest on Kenneth Petty and Nicki Minaj.
If there’s one thing we absolutely can’t argue, it’s that motherhood looks incredibly becoming on Keke Palmer. The 29-year-old shared the exciting news of her pregnancy with the world on Saturday Night Live last year and has since given birth to a baby boy named Leodis. In the time since the young one’s birth, the True Jackson VP alum has given her Instagram followers plenty of updates on her new life, including the vivacious reveal of her “new body” earlier this week. According to Palmer, becoming a mother gave her the chest, hips, and booty of her dreams – all without having to go under the knife.
Following that, the Chicago-born starlet revealed how her boyfriend, Darius Jackson, is coping with first-time fatherhood. “Which one is milk wasted?” she wrote over a photo on her Story of the fitness guru sleeping on the couch, a cap pulled over his eyes to shield them from the light. Behind him lay an almost-empty bottle of milk, and on his chest, we see an iPhone as well as little Leodis, who’s also soundly asleep in his dad’s care.
Keke Palmer and Her Boys
Prior to the announcement of her pregnancy, little was known about Palmer’s romantic relationship with Jackson. They were together for approximately one year when the former child star found out she was expecting, and we’ve since seen more frequent appearances from him on his partner’s social media. On Friday (April 7) night, Keke posted a video encouraging followers to come and stream her and her man on her Twitch channel, where they didn’t hesitate to entertain viewers.
“Hey guys,” the mother of one said in the brief clip from last night. “First of all, let’s just get into how gorgeous I look,” she boasted while catching sight of her own reflection in the camera. “What do you think?” she asked Jackson. “It’s giving what needs to be gave.” He added, “This might be the first time I’ve seen you this touched up since… post-child. You look beautiful.” Of course, Keke Palmer couldn’t go on without giving the father of her baby his flowers, telling him he also looks good. Check out their full adorable interaction below, and tap back in later for more pop culture news updates.
Lil Baby and Jayda Cheaves are big Atlanta Hawks fans, as they appeared courtside again during one of their games. Moreover, the couple looked like they were having a good time at the sporting event, and seemed to sit closer together than they did last time. Of course, this sparked yet another conversation on whether a separated couple with a child together should remain so close. Some are telling the Atlanta MC to “get out of there,” while many are advising for Jayda to do the same. Regardless, it’s (hopefully) inarguable that it’s much better to be on good terms than to cross each other out of their respective lives.
Furthermore, the two remained amicable and even friendly, at least from what multiple public statements and appearances indicate. For example, Lil Baby was spotted at Cheaves’ birthday party last September. In a clip that surfaced on social media, the rapper is seen standing in the back of the party as Jayda has a fun time on her special day. Regardless of their public digs at each other and the infidelity that broke them up, they seem committed to supporting each other through it all.
Lil Baby & Jayda Cheaves Return To Courtside Hawks Seats
What’s more is that Jayda Cheaves revealed just how quickly the two got intimate, with her standing by that as a principle. During her time on The Impact: Atlanta, a reality show, she revealed that they slept together on their first date. “I ain’t falling in love until I get that d**k,” she remarked to her entourage. “That’s why you f**k the first night! [Lil Baby] f***ed the first night, 100%.” Afterwards, people took to social media to comment and give their takes on the situation.
Meanwhile, she recently opened up about her ideal man, which also drew some raised eyebrows for her criteria. “To be my n***a, you gotta be hood,” Jayda Cheaves said during an interview. “I only f**k with hood n****s. I don’t want nothing that’s not hood. You gotta carry a gun. If you don’t carry a gun, I don’t want you in my space. I’m kidding y’all, about the gun. Like, y’all are dragging it,” she clarified afterwards. Regardless of your thoughts on that, stay logged into HNHH for the latest on Jayda Cheaves and Lil Baby.
“I’m kidding y’all about the gun. Like y’all are dragging it,
