Eric Andre And Emily Ratajkowski’s Valentine’s Day Picture Explained

by

Eric Andre and Emily Ratajkowski had posted nude pictures of themselves on Valentine’s Day. It has been a month, but we now have a better picture of what happened that day. Eric Andre did an interview with Rolling Stone, in which he explains why they ended up taking the photo. Most of that interview had to do with the upcoming season of his TV show, The Eric Andre Show. He also commented on the trope of the actress/model dating the “ugly” comedian. “How could this happen?” He joked and added, “I think that people think attraction is only based on physical appearance, but beauty is only skin-deep.”

Andre and Ratajkowski had not been together long. Only since January. However, we do know that they spent a lot of time together. They had spent a three-hour dinner together and even had a romantic getaway to the Cayman Islands. While they did not date for long, they went off the deep end and tried to get the most out of their time together.

Valentine’s Day Aftermath

Andre was just in the moment when Ratajkowski started laughing and she took a photo of it. When he saw it, they both started dying of laughter. They knew they had to share it with the world. Ratajkowski was repeating “Iconic, this is iconic.” Every time that she saw the photograph. The reason why the photograph worked was that it was instinctual, according to him. It spoke to the hormones as well as to the mind. It was just a happy little accident. Ratajkowski has not commented on this story yet to give her side of it.

What we do know, however, is that a couple of days later, they broke things off. Ratajkowski revealed this through a vague Tick Tock video. We do not know what exactly happened between them. Ratajkowski appears to have a problem with long-term relationships. The last time that she had stayed with someone for more than a year was with her ex-husband, Sebastian Bear-McClard. There is speculation that she is going back to DJ Orazio Rispo, whom she dated, four months ago. However, nothing is confirmed.

Austin Butler And Vanessa Hudgens Get Awkward At Oscars Party

by

Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens shared a few awkward encounters at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party. While spirits at the party were at an all-time high, it was not without some uncomfortable moments. The two movie actors have quite a history together. In fact, Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens were together for over eight years. Their long-term relationship ran its course in 2020, however, and the two are no longer an item. The news initially upset many fans, as the two were known to be a power couple.

The actors were never spiteful towards each other in public. However, the tension in the air was thick at the Oscars after-party. In several photos and videos, the two can be seen trying to avoid interacting with each other at all costs. Austin attended the party with his current girlfriend, Kaia Gerber. At one point, Vanessa attempts to sneak past the lovebirds inconspicuously. She is polite and does an awkward dash between the new couple and the cameras. However, as she passes by, Austin can be seen quickly casting a glance at her.

Austin Butler Watches Vanessa Hudgens Walk Away

No words were spoken between Austin Butler and Vanessa Hudgens. But fans of both parties are acutely aware of how uncomfortable the situation is. Many can relate to bumping into an ex in public, or around mutual friends. And while both actors have moved on, an almost decade-long relationship can be hard to cast aside. Regardless, both Butler and Hudgens remained polite. Their ability to not be petty or vindictive most likely stems from their mutual breakup. The two ended their relationship due to the stress of their jobs, not for lack of love.

Austin and Vanessa became official in 2011. Now, Vanessa is engaged to Cole Tucker, a professional baseball player. No hard feelings seem to linger between the former couple. In fact, Austin heavily attributes his recent success in the Elvis film to Vanessa’s encouragement. But due to their long-term love affair, seeing each other at the party may have been harder than either of them is letting on. Check back in to see if any new drama arises from their brief meeting.

Rubi Rose Reacts To French Montana Dating Rumors

by

And just like that, a new couple has emerged in Hip Hop—well, maybe. Things kicked up a notch today (March 14) after TMZ shared a video of French Montana and Rubi Rose together. In the brief video, the pair were in Beverly Hills hitting up the celebrity-favorite eatery, Mr. Chow. French exited a vehicle first, walking ahead of Rubi as she trailed behind. The two eventually got on the same pace once they entered the establishment, and French even wrapped his arm around her neck.

Of course, this visual set off internet rumors, and TMZ only fueled the fire. Sources claimed that Rubi has confirmed that she and French are, in fact, in a relationship, but she didn’t confirm that when she reacted to the gossip on Twitter. “Dang… i can’t go out to eat now,” she wrote without giving any context to prying fans.

Rubi Rose Recently Declared She Was Single

If you were tapped into Rubi Rose earlier this year, you might have witnessed the rapper’s exchange with her ex. Rose and DDG were once a hot item, but things didn’t work out like many industry romances. The love-hate relationship pressed forward to 2023, when Rubi was accused of passively aggressively suggesting that DDG’s new girlfriend, Halle Bailey, was wearing her clothing. The internet back and forth carried on for days as the ex-couple traded shots.

To make things worse, Rubi Rose shared an alleged DM from DDG—purportedly sent while he was in his current relationship. He denied wanting to rekindle anything with his former flame, but the public questioned if that was true. The disagreement seemed to have dissipated—that is, until DDG returned with a song calling out his ex. The pair have taken to their respective corners and haven’t slung any more dirt in recent weeks.

Silence From French Montana

Meanwhile, the gossip about French and Rubi continues without Montana making a peep. Some have accused the pair of staging a paparazzi moment for attention. Others have taken to social media to revisit Rubi’s dating past. If you haven’t already, check out French Montana and Rubi Rose above, and let us know if you’re here for them being the next couple in Hip Hop.

Lindsay Lohan’s Pregnancy Announcement Gets Plenty Of Celebrity Praise

by

Former child star Lindsay Lohan has been gracing our screens since the late ’90s when she captured the world’s attention by playing both Hallie Parker and Annie James in the cheeky childhood favourite, The Parent Trap. The years following that saw her fanbase continue to grow thanks to releases like Get a Clue, Freaky Friday, and Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. In 2004, it was the lead role in Tina Fey’s Mean Girls that truly helped push her toward stardom.

Playing Cady Heron is probably what she’s best known for, though the 36-year-old has a slew of other impressive credits on her resume. She was off to a strong start at a young age, but Lohan ultimately fell into struggles with substance abuse and mental health that led her to step out of the spotlight for some time. She recently resurfaced as the narrator of Amazon Prime Video’s Lovestruck High, and as the lead in Netflix’s Falling for Christmas, but that’s not all she’s delivering.

Lindsay Lohan’s First Baby OTW

On Tuesday (March 14), the New York native shared a simple and sweet announcement via Instagram unveiling her first pregnancy. “We are blessed and excited! 🙏🤍👶🍼” she wrote in the caption, showing off a small white onesie reading “Coming soon…” in the accompanying image. The news comes less than a year after Lohan married 36-year-old Bader Shammas, a financier who proposed to her back in 2021. While the couple is obviously excited, TMZ reports that plenty of the starlet’s long-time friends (and sometimes enemies) are happy for her too.

The outlet caught up with Paris and Nicky Hilton leaving CBS Studios in NYC, where they sent greetings to the expecting couple on camera. LiLo’s ex, Sam Ronson, also spoke with the gossip blog about today’s news, and she had nothing but positive things to say. “I wish her all the best. It’s always great news when someone is expecting a baby,” the English DJ declared. Keep scrolling to see some of Lindsay Lohan’s most heartwarming photos with her husband and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Damson Idris & Lori Harvey Hit Up NYC Pizza Spot

by

They’re easing into being more comfortable sharing their relationship with the world, and fans can’t get enough of Damson Idris and Lori Harvey. After months of speculations about their relationship, the pair recently emerged with loving posts. We haven’t seen Idris tied to anyone, at least not publicly, but Harvey’s past has been detailed for years. The stepdaughter of Steve Harvey has developed a socialite reputation, often seen partying or on the arms of Hollywood’s elite. Last summer, her hot and heavy romance with Michael B. Jordan came to an end, but that followed a string of reported love affairs.

Harvey has been tied to Sean “Diddy” Combs, Future, and Trey Songz, and she was even engaged to soccer star Memphis Depay. Her romances have caused her to be a fixture in conversations about dating in the industry, but the public has become enamored with Harvey and Idris’s connection. Recently, the pair appeared in a brief TikTok video from Cuts & Slices NYC, a pizza joint in the Big Apple. Idris was the main focus, but Harvey could be seen standing nearby.

Damson Idris Chows Down On Oxtail Pizza

The couple stopped by the Brooklyn eatery, and it looked as if it was the Snowfall actor’s first time. He was filmed holding a slice of pizza loaded with toppings, forcing Idris to figure out how to hold it. As soon as he took the first bite, the actor made a production out of his reaction. This elicited laughs from his team and his girlfriend. The person filming explained that the slice was “sweet chili oxtail,” and Idris was clearly impressed. “Crazy! Make the trip.” Harvey simply laughed.

It’s unclear why the pair were in the city, but they’ve been enjoying their coast-to-coast lifestyle. The British actor seemingly went all out last month for Valentine’s Day, although they kept it a secret where they were celebrating. The couple shared a video of their private dinner, encircled by roses and candles. Additionally, Idris has addressed the controversy surrounding his relationship and why he desires to keep things private.

Staying Away From Prying Eyes

“I think my advice to anyone who walks down that path is to just keep it as regular and normal as possible and really, really connect to each other and not the outside forces around,” said the actor.

He added, “It’s just watching other people that I admire do it so greatly and just understanding that you don’t always have to show the world your personal life. What you do for a living is an extension of yourself, and that’s your baby. And you need to protect that. You also need to protect your personal self too.”

Blueface Reacts After Chrisean Rock Considers An Abortion: “Do It Please”

by

Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s relationship has been at the center of our timelines since December. The launch of Crazy In Love turned them into a celebrity couple that everyone had a hard time ignoring. However, things took a turn earlier this year when Rock said that she was expecting Blue’s child. Most people would be excited to welcome a child together but Blueface is definitely not most people. In recent times, he’s made it clear that he’d rather be her manager than baby father, though Chrisean’s indicated that Blueface expresses jealousy whenever other men, including his rap peers, appear in her DMs.

Blueface initially dismissed her pregnancy announcement, claiming she slept around with other men throughout their relationship. However, Chrisean Rock explained that she’s had fertility issues because she had abortions while with Blueface. However, medical professionals later chimed in on the matter and claimed that there aren’t any links between abortions and future fertility. Nonetheless, it appears that Chrisean Rock does not want to have Blueface’s child anymore.

Blueface Responds To Chrisean Rock

Between Blueface’s antics and her dwindling excitement surrounding parenthood, Chrisean Rock recently said that she’s considering an abortion. During an Instagram Live, Rock expressed her disappointment in Blueface, who she feels is playing him. “Damn, I might should just kill this baby,” Rock said. Immediately, fans leaped into the comments to show their support while others felt as if this feeling was a sign that she needed to leave Blueface.

Blueface didn’t oppose Chrisean Rock’s suggestion. In fact, he seemed to encourage it. “Do it please,” he wrote on Twitter. “I got 2 kids an 1 bm for a reason I don’t just have kids with anybody,” he continued, adding that Rock “don’t even take care of me like a woman should.” He explained that she’s fought other women on red carpet events while pregnant. “… Clearly not mentally fit to put their pride to the side for the better meant of their child,” he added. “Bitch at the club every night shaking ass pregnant I promise it’s been a no for me,” he continued. Check out all of Blueface’s tweets below.

Jason Lee Claims Coi Leray Was Upset About His Interview With Blueface & Chrisean Rock

by

It’s Jason Lee with the tea, and he’s spilling about Coi Leray’s alleged reaction to one of his recent interviews. The founder of Hollywood Unlocked has embarked on a new venture with his series, The Jason Lee Show. The first few episodes have caused several viral looks, as he’s sat down with Cardi B, Remy Ma, Blac Chyna, La La Anthony, Lunell, Laverne Cox, and more. However, his chat with Blueface and Chrisean caught Leray’s attention, according to the blogger.

In an interview with Breakbeat Media, Lee recalled being in bed listening to music when Leray’s latest hit “Players” came on. “I said, ‘This is cute.’ I’m not on TikTok, but I f*ck with Coi Leray. I think she’s cute, I think she’s—Coi, you know I love you. I just unfollowed her though; I’ll tell you why.” He also shared that once he told this story, there was a good chance Leray wouldn’t speak with him again.

Jason Lee’s Chat With Blueface & Chrisean Caught Coi’s Attention

“Let me preface this, and this is the part where people struggle with liking me. I love her, I love her movement, I love all her TikTok energy, I love that she stands for body positivity for young women with small bodies. So, I have ‘The Jason Lee Show.’ Cardi B’s the first guest. I’m in my room in New York [and ‘Players’ is on], and I post it. Genuinely, it’s free promo, I don’t ever post sh*t for free. I gotta get paid for everything. I just did it ’cause I liked it. Tagged it, [Coi] reposted it. She followed me, I followed her.”

However, things took a turn when he began teasing his interview with Blueface and Chrisean Rock. “She called me like, ‘I wanna do the show, but that’s not a good look. You big, you influential, you that n*gga. We want to celebrate you. You just had a big interview with Cardi B, and then you interview Blueface and Chrisean?’ I said, Coi, I’m in the business of interviewing people. So, like—and Blueface and Chrisean are gonna do numbers ’cause they’re hot right now.

Coi Leray & Blueface’s Dating Past

Lee may have his ear to the streets, but he missed that brief time in late 2020 when Blue and Leray were spotted around Los Angeles together. In December of that year, TMZ even shared photos of them at a Hollywood eatery, trying to keep away from the cameras as they spent time together. Elsewhere, the pair of rappers even shared a video where it looked as if they were getting close, but things didn’t materialize.

According to Lee, Chrisean said she wanted to beat up Coi Leray. He says Coi “tainted the relationship that you coulda built ’cause you were mad at Blueface and Chrisean for coming on the show.” Check out the clip of Jason Lee above.

Rubi Rose & French Montana Are Dating, Sources Say

by

Rubi Rose is easily one of the most lusted-after female rap stars right now, but it seems she may be off the market. Earlier this week, the Kentucky native stepped out with a certain Grammy Award-winning lyricist, weeks after publicly feuding with her ex-boyfriend, DDG. As you may recall, she exposed the Michigan native for DMing her on Twitter as he was reportedly fighting with his own girlfriend, Halle Bailey.

When Rose’s receipts were shown online, her former beau’s reaction was caught during a live stream. He was obviously upset by the situation, repeatedly calling the 25-year-old a “bitch” and venting about the disdain he has for her. The internet spat lasted for several days and even saw Rubi linking up with Chrisean Rock to stir the pot, creating drama for the latter and Blueface, her on-again-off-again partner.

Rubi’s Beef With Ex-BF DDG

Besides DDG, other famous figures linked to Rose include Cam Newton who she allegedly dated in 2017, as well as Lil Tjay, who she previously sued. Prior to his untimely death, the entertainer also spent time with Takeoff for a brief period in 2016. Other names who reportedly appear on her roster include Soulja Boy, Ian Conner, 21 Savage, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott.

As for her new man, TMZ reports that the “I Like” hitmaker was on a dinner date with none other than French Montana last night (March 13). The pair dressed down in comfortable but stylish garb to eat at Mr. Chow in Beverly Hills, where they didn’t hide their comfortable PDA from paparazzi snapping photos in the area. The foreign rapper’s arm was around Rose’s shortly after they exited his luxury whip and confidently walked into the restaurant together.

Moving On with French Montana

Sources close to Rubi Rose have told the outlet that she’s for sure Montega’s “new girlfriend.” It remains unclear exactly when they began hanging out, though the model publicly declared herself single this time last month while beefing with DDG. Seeing as they’re so comfortable, it’s safe to assume the two artists are past the initial, sometimes awkward, early stages of dating, and are ready to share their romance in the public eye. What do you think of the new couple? Let us know in the comments, and find photos and videos from their night out together here.

Larsa Pippen & Marcus Jordan Embrace In New IG Post

by

Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan posed together for a new selfie on social media over the weekend. The two have been Instagram official since January. One point of contention about their relationship has been their age gap, with Pippen being 16 years older than Jordan. Prior to their romance, Larsa was married to Scottie Pippen, a former teammate of Marcus’ father, Michael Jordan.

When The Shade Room shared the selfie on its Instagram page, many fans defended the couple in the comments section. “Y’all keep acting outraged about the age difference but don’t keep that same energy with Cher dating a man 40yrs younger,” one user wrote. Another added: “’WhAt iF tHiS wAs tHe OtHeR wAy aRoUnD?!’ Michael Jordan’s wife is 20 years younger than him. Go be outraged on his page no one’s stopping y’all.”

Larsa has downplayed the age difference when asked about it in interviews. Speaking with Tamron Hall, last month, Larsa remarked, “Age doesn’t determine your level of maturity.” When pressed on whether it’s weird dating the son of her ex-husband’s former teammate, Larsa explained, “I didn’t plan it like that. We were just together a lot with our friends. You gotta remember — being with an athlete, you get scrutinized a lot. People don’t think you should have a life once you get divorced. I feel like I should have love and be able to date who I want and live happy and go wherever I wanna go and not be judged every time I’m seen with someone. It’s hard.”

Larsa and Scottie were married from 1997 through 2021 and share four children together: Scotty Jr., Preston, Justin, and Sophia. They first split up in 2016 but later reconciled soon afterward. Two years later they began the official separation process and have since moved on from one another. As for Scottie’s opinion on her dating Marcus, Larsa also told Tamron Hall, “The only conversations we have are based on our kids. I don’t ask him who he’s dating, he doesn’t ask me who I’m dating.”
