#RHOA: Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker Celebrate 8th Wedding Anniversary: 'That Forever Kind of Love'
Kandi Burruss and Todd Tucker are marking eight years of marriage!
The Real Housewives of Atlanta couple celebrated their wedding anniversary on Monday by expressing their adoration for one another in sweet posts on their respective Instagrams.
In Burruss' post, she shared a video montage featuring photos of her and Tucker together, set to her song "Forever Love" featuring Q. Parker. The images were captured throughout the years and included the couple smiling with their marriage license as well as together at a NASDAQ event and on the red carpet.
"We've got that forever kind of love! Happy Anniversary my love!!! @todd167," Burruss, 45, captioned the clip. "You were the perfect man for me. I'm a better me with you! 😘❤️ 8 years down & a lifetime to go!"
Tucker, 48, opted to post a photo slideshow of the couple and echoed his wife's sentiments about their everlasting romance.
"8 years of blessings! God is so amazing, he makes no mistakes. We have a forever kinda of love!" he wrote in the caption. "I look forward to our future and a life time [sic] of love. Happy anniversary to my amazing wife @kandi I Love you!"
Burruss and Tucker, a producer, met while filming the fourth season of Real Housewives in 2011 and announced their engagement in January 2013. They tied the knot the following year in April.
Since then, the pair have welcomed two children: son Ace, now 6, and daughter Blaze, now 2. (They also have two children from previous relationships: Burruss' daughter Riley, 19, and Tucker's daughter Kaela, 25.)
In addition to RHOA, the two have worked on several projects, including a trucking company and a soul food restaurant chain that Tucker has spearheaded called The Old Lady Gang (OLG). Burruss also dove into a handful of entertainment projects — from her own talk show, Kandi Koated Nights, to an appearance on Celebrity Big Brother and a reunion tour with her band, Xscape — and expanded her resumé with scripted acting roles, including her season 3 appearance on The Chi.
In January, it was announced that Burruss and Tucker would star in another Bravo series, Kandi & The Gang, which will follow their family and the staff at OLG restaurant. The show premiered in early March.
Along with their work-filled journey, the couple hasn't shied away from raving about each other.
On Instagram in March, Tucker said of his wife: "People ask me why I don't partner with other people. Because I already have the best partner in the world! We will take over! I won't be lonely at the top because we will be at the top together. Believe me it's not easy! But when your focused there's nothing you can't do with a great partner and GOD! GodizGreat!"
Burruss responded to the post, telling Tucker, "I love you soooooo much babe! You are the best teammate in the world!"
Around that time, Burruss shared her own loving post for her husband, writing beside a video of them preparing to do an interview, "'I'm a movement by myself, but IM A FORCE when we're together!' In my @neyo voice… I love you @todd167! You make my heart smile."
Later that month, Burruss shared another post, featuring a photo of her and Tucker. "With you by my side I can do anything! 😍❤️," she captioned the image.
#MusicNews: SZA Says New Album Is Done: ‘It’s My Most Unisex Project’
SZA’s sophomore album is finally done. Fresh off her first Grammy win for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance for “Kiss Me More” with Doja Cat, the TDE singer revealed that the long-awaited project is finished and coming “very soon.”
“I just actually finished it up in Hawaii recently, so just turning it in,” she told Variety backstage at Sunday’s Grammys in Las Vegas.
This time around, she’s making music for everyone. “It’s probably my most unisex project yet,” SZA added. “It’s definitely for everybody in a different way.”
It’s been nearly five years since SZA released her debut Ctrl. In 2020, she dropped “Good Days,” which peaked at No. 9 on the Hot 100. It was followed one year later by “I Hate U,” which reached No. 7 on the chart.
While accepting her Grammy with Doja Cat on Sunday, SZA walked on stage with crutches, while Lady Gaga held the train of her dress. Lil Nas X was also seen pushing her around backstage in a wheelchair.
“I fell out of bed right before it was time to leave and get ready for this,” SZA told reporters when asked how she injured herself. “Everything awesome in my life has always come with something very random. It just adds to the energy.”
While SZA was “grateful” for her first Grammy, she regrets that her grandmother wasn’t able to see her win. “The only thing that sucks is that my granny isn’t here,” she said. “She passed before she could see me win it, but she did come the year I was nominated for the first time.”
#HipHopNews: The Game Is Readying An Eminem Diss, Says Wack 100
The Game is ready to take his beef with Eminem to the next level.
During a recent Clubhouse session, Wack 100 revealed that Game is readying a Slim Shady diss on his upcoming single.
“We startin’ a fire, the Black Slim Shady is coming,” Wack said. “That ni**a better be ready, because this ni**a done went crazy.”
When asked if he was coming for Eminem, Wack responded, “He’s coming like a motherfu**er.”
Wack thinks it will make for an entertaining battle, citing Em’s history of beef with Machine Gun Kelly, Nick Cannon, and his own mother. “That ni**a Em is a disrespectful ni**a,” added Wack. “He disrespect his own mama, my n***a, shit. He disrespect himself. This n***a talk about killing his baby mama, putting her in the trunk… Ain’t no limits to where he gon’ go with another motherfu**er.”
Wack praised both MCs (“You got two crafty ni**as. Two disrespectful, two rappin’ ass ni**as) while warning Em of what’s to come. “That ni**a better be ready,” he said. “One thing about Game, he already got a response. The first one gon’ f**k the world up.”
Someone in the chat suggested that Game’s beef with Eminem could cause 50 Cent to get involved, but Wack wasn’t bothered. “50 better sit his old ass down. He don’t want them problems with Game. And if 50 jump on Em’s song, they automatically lost.”
Game previously voiced his thoughts on Eminem, claiming he was a better MC than the “Rap God.” “I used to think Eminem was better than me. He’s not,” he said during his “Drink Champs” interview.
He also challenged Em to a Verzuz battle, but N.O.R.E. warned him that he doesn’t want smoke with Em. “Yes, I do. The f**k you mean?” he shot back. “You tryna say that I don’t want have no fade with the white man?”
BREAKING Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker Gwet Married At Vegas Chapel!!!
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker took full advantage of being in Sin City for the Grammys ... having a wedding ceremony in the middle of the night at a wedding chapel ... i.e., they're married!!!
Kourtney and Travis walked in around 1:30 AM Monday ... only hours after he performed live at the Grammys. We're told the two didn't allow the venue to take any photos, bringing their own photographer and security instead.
Sources connected to the couple tell TMZ ... they had a marriage license and presented it to the chapel's owner, who was also a witness.
We're told it was important to them that an Elvis impersonator officiate the wedding ... so Elvis pronounced them man and wife.
Our sources say this will not be the only ceremony to mark the couple's commitment. We're told there will be "several' other celebrations, with lots of fanfare.
Travis popped the question back in October at a beachside hotel in Montecito, CA ... but the lovebirds had been mum on a wedding date. So, this could have been a spur-of-the-moment thing, or they were always planning to get married this weekend in Vegas.
Kourtney and Travis haven't been shy about their whirlwind romance ... with tons of PDA all over the globe ... including make-out sessions on the beach, at Disneyland, in front of the Eiffel Tower, on the Venice canals and in New York City ... just to name a few.
It's the first marriage for Kourtney, who never said "I do" to ex Scott Disick despite having 3 children together.
For Travis, this is his third marriage. He was with his first wife, Melissa Kennedy, for only 9 months before he filed for divorce back in 2002. Travis married Shanna Moakler a few years later in 2004, but he filed for divorce after nearly 2 years in 2006 and in 2008 their divorce was finalized.
Sounds like Travis finally found his special someone in Kourtney ... remember, he said "forever wasn't long enough" with her.
Mazel tov!!!
Kansas Jayhawks Win 2022 NCAA Men's Basketball Title Over the North Carolina Tar Heels
A new NCAA men's basketball champion has been crowned.
Kansas emerged victorious on Monday night in the 2022 March Madness, bringing this year's exciting tournament to a close.
The Kansas Jayhawks defeated the North Carolina Tar Heels 72-69, completing the biggest comeback in championship history after being down 16 points during the first half, according to the NCAA.
David McCormack scored with 22 seconds left in the game, putting Kansas ahead three points.
The win marks the second NCAA title for coach Bill Self, who led the team to the title victory in 2008.
Going into the tournament, Kansas was seeded No. 1 in the Midwest, while UNC was seeded No. 8 in the East. As an eighth seed, North Carolina was tied for the lowest-ranked team to reach the final since seeding began in the late 1970s.
Kansas secured their spot in the final after beating Villanova in the Final Four last weekend, winning 81-65, as UNC and Duke battled it out in another game, with North Carolina scoring their victory, 81-77.
Ahead of this year's tournament, North Carolina had made it to the Final Four a total of 21 times, the most by any school in college basketball history. UNC has previously been the tournament champions six times, most recently in 2017.
Kansas previously had three men's tournament wins, last topping the teams in 2008.
Despite their lower ranking than Kansas, UNC's players were feeling confident heading into the final, ESPN reported.
"Our belief all year was strong that we can get to this point," team center Armando Bacot said, per ESPN. "I don't know if it was belief or if it was just us being delusional. I mean, at every point of the season, we knew if we came together as a team that we could get to the championship. And that's what we did."
Prince Appears In Never-Before-Seen Interview At 11-Years-Old
A never-before-seen video of an 11-year-old Prince was uncovered by the WCCO news station.
The film was taken in April 1970 when the Minneapolis Public Schools teachers went on strike.
Prince–then Prince Nelson or “Skipper”–commented on the movement:
“Think they should get a better education too cause…and I think they should get some more money cause they work, they be working extra hours for us and all that stuff.”
News staff reached out to Ronnie Kitchen, a classmate whose name was clearly announced on the extracted audio. They were unable to contact him. Instead, they spoke with Terrance Jackson, one of the legendary musician’s oldest friends.
WATCH
Jackson confirmed that the child was, indeed, Prince. He explained:
“We go far back as kindergarten at John Hay Elementary in north Minneapolis.”
He lived next door to Prince and played in his first band, Grand Central, as a teenager.
When his late friend appeared on the footage, he exclaimed:
“That is Prince! Standing right there with the hat on, right? That’s Skipper! Oh my God!”
As the mini-interview played, all Jackson could say was “wow.“I am like blown away. I’m totally blown away.[Prince] was already playing guitar and keys by then, phenomenally. Music became our sport. Because he was athletic, I was athletic, but we wanted to compete musically.That’s Prince, aka Skipper to the Northside.”
‘Shahs of Sunset’ Star Mike Shouhed Arrested for Domestic Violence
‘Shahs of Sunset’ star Mike Shouhed was arrested for domestic violence back in March.
via Page Six: The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed Monday that West Valley officers responded to a call of “unknown” trouble at approximately 10 p.m. local time.
Shouhed, 43, was arrested for “intimate partner violence with injury,” which an LAPD public information officer explained is another legal term for domestic violence. It is used when there is “visible injury” on the victim.
A description of Shouhed’s alleged victim was not provided.
Shortly after his arrest, the Bravolebrity was booked around 1:05 a.m. local time on March 28, according to the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department court records.
Shouhed was charged with corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant, which is a felony, per the sheriff’s department.
He was given a $50,000 bond and held until 6:35 a.m., at which point he was released for paying the money. He is due back in court on July 25.
Shouhed’s attorney, Alex Kessel, tells Page Six his client denies all the allegations.
The reality star has not posted about his arrest on social media.
However, he has shared a series of cryptic graphics on his now-deleted Instagram Stories recently, including one that read, “Your life is your responsibility. Your success is your responsibility. Your failure is your responsibility. Your reaction is your responsibility. Your behavior is your responsibility.”
Shouhed also posted a since-deleted video of himself Monday dancing along in his car to a popular Spanish song by Joe Arroyo called “Rebelion,” that has lyrics that state, “No le pegué a la negra,” which translates in English to “don’t hit the black woman.”
As of Monday morning, Shouhed appeared to still be following his fiancée, Paulina Ben-Cohen, on Instagram. It is unclear whether she was involved in the domestic violence incident.
Ben-Cohen did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2021 following a cheating-sexting scandal.
Shouhed was accused of sending racy texts to another woman while he was dating Ben-Cohen, and despite denying it for some time, finally copped to it in May 2021.
“We were going through COVID, being on lockdown, and I let the anxiousness of going through that and just being bored allow me to do things I shouldn’t have done,” he previously told E! News.
“Looking back, I feel really stupid for allowing myself to engage in that conversation, even though those text messages were for a few hours and one day that those messages happened, reliving it now feels like … like it was going on for a long period of time.”
Ben-Cohen, who has two sons from a previous marriage, revealed during the “Shahs” Season 9 reunion that she and Shouhed did not plan to sign a prenuptial agreement.
She said, “I would not marry someone if I felt that I need to protect myself. In my eyes, that’s not a marriage. Then I’ll just date someone.”
The blogger also affirmed her love for Shouhed, saying, “The love and the connection that we have with each other, like, I would not be able to live a day without him in my life.”
On March 18, about a week before Shouhed’s arrest, Ben-Cohen posted a photo of herself on Instagram with the caption, “waiting for your call ….”
When a pal asked whether the caption was directed at her or Shouhed, Ben-Cohen replied, “both.”
Shouhed was previously married to nurse and influencer Jessica Parido, but their union ended because of admitted cheating on the Iranian-born TV personality’s part.
American Idol Top 24 Revealed!
Two dozen American Idol hopefuls are trading Hollywood for Hawaii after the latest round of eliminations.
Monday’s episode brought with it the dreaded Final Judgment, forcing Katy Perry, Luke Bryan and Lionel Richie to make some difficult cuts in order to finalize the Top 24 of Season 20.
The two-hour affair also witnessed the judges playing mental gymnastics with the contestants. Like, even more than usual. Take this actual quotation, for example: “I’m sorry to say that your Idol journey is ending… at some point in the future, but not today.”
Then there was this curveball: “You’re not going to make it to our Top 25… but that’s OK, because there is no Top 25.”
But this one? This one crossed the line of human decency: “Unfortunately, we are eliminating you from the Top 59… and putting you in the Top 24.” I mean, come on.
And while we’re discussing the judges’ determination to crank up the tension tonight, can we talk about those awkward on-the-spot sing-offs? As if these poor kids haven’t been through enough already.
Scroll down to see which 24 hopefuls made it through to the Top 24, Which singer(s) would get your vote(s)?

Blogger Tasha K ordered to remove defamatory posts in Cardi B case
Cardi B’s legal case against blogger Tasha K continues to gain legs. Cardi was ruled victorious and was awarded $1.25 million in a libel suit against Tasha back in January. On Monday (April 4), the presiding judge issued a court order that forces Tasha to delete her old posts that include false statements about Cardi. This includes more than 20 videos.
Professionally known as Tasha K, Latasha Kebe was sued in 2019 for her “malicious campaign” against Cardi. Statements from the blogger included allegations that Cardi has STI’s including Herpes and HPV, was a prostitute, had issues with cocaine abuse, and has a “side peen” alluding to affairs with men other than her husband Offset.
Other allegations include Cardi performing sexually explicit acts on stage with a beer bottle during her days as a stripper. Tasha has five days to remove the posts from her Youtube and Instagram pages. However, she is appealing the decision. She can repost the baseless allegations about the “Up” rapper if her appeal is approved.
Tasha K is a popular Youtuber who speaks about celebrity gossip and rumors. The 39-year-old has a popular Youtube channel called “Unwine with Tasha K” where she shares her thoughts on celebrities.
Because many of her claims cannot be substantiated by fact or evidence, she has been called out for allegedly spreading lies and misinformation. The most noted instance of this is in her legal case against Cardi B. The blogger was found liable on three claims and was also ordered to forfeit an additional $250 in medical expenses. The judge also awarded $2.5 million in damages and $1.3 million in legal fees. The rapper testified that the claims made her suicidal.
Tasha previously spoke out about the case, saying, “My husband, attorney’s, & I fought really hard. I want to thank them for their long hours and sleepless nights. Winos it’s only up from here. See y’all in a few days. Back to work.”
The blogger is appealing each of her verdicts to the U.S. Court of Appeals in the Eleventh Circuit.
D.C. venue was unaware of disturbing details in Goonew home-going
Last month, DMV rising star Goonew was shot and killed during what many allege to have been an armed robbery gone bad. Amongst the many tributes that have surfaced following his unfortunate passing, WUSA9 spoke to his family, who are in absolute disbelief over what transpired:
“It’s not real for them. That someone would shoot her son and their brother in the back. One shot that would ultimately kill Markelle Morrow, better known as GOONEW.”
This past weekend, fans converged upon the D.C. nightclub Bliss to celebrate Goonew’s life, during which all who attended got a pretty big surprise — the body of the rapper himself, propped up against a wall while Go-Go music played throughout.
According to TMZ, reactions to the aforementioned sight were fairly mixed, with many choosing to keep the proverbial party going while a well-dressed, crowned, and fully embalmed Goonew loomed over the crowd. Also noted is the fact that Bliss’ management weren’t aware that all this was even taking place, as explained via a social media post:
“Our deepest condolences to Goonew’s family, friends, and fans. Bliss was contacted by a local funeral home to rent out our venue for Goonew’s home-going celebration. Bliss was never made aware of what would transpire. We sincerely apologize to all those who may be upset or offended. Please keep Goonew’s family and friends in your prayers at this difficult time.”
Almost a year from today, Goonew liberated his last full-length body of work Short Temper, which consisted of 15 songs and additional contributions from Seddy Hendrinx, Xanman, and frequent collaborator Lil Dude. More recently, Goonew’s team unveiled a new visual for the posthumous drop “Back Inna Mix,” which sees production from Static 6ix and direction from Hidden Images.
Amy Schumer calls Will Smith ‘Ali,’ says Oscars slap was about ‘toxic masculinity’
Amy Schumer thinks Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars was a “f–king bummer” and all about “toxic masculinity.”
During her first appearance since hosting the Oscars, Schumer said she didn’t know what to say about the awards show other than she had no jokes about it.
“I was kind of feeling myself … and then all of a sudden Ali was making his way up,” she said, according to The Hollywood Reporter, referring to Smith’s role in the 2001 film in which he played boxer Muhammad Ali.
“And it was just a f–king bummer,” she said Saturday at Las Vegas’ Mirage Theater as part of the Aces of Comedy series. “All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity.”
Schumer — who has praised Rock for handling the situation “like a pro” — told the crowd that the ordeal was “really upsetting.”
“But I think the best way to comfort ourselves would be for me to say the Oscar jokes that I wasn’t allowed to say on TV,” she quipped, explaining that her lawyer urged her to cut a line about James Franco’s sexual assault allegations and another about the fatal shooting of “Rust” cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.
“‘Don’t Look Up’ is the name of a movie,” Schumer said, per THR, “more like don’t look down the barrel of Alec Baldwin’s shotgun.”
Though Saturday was her first time addressing the slap heard ’round the world in front of a live audience, Schumer, 40, has spoken about the now-infamous moment since it happened.
In an Instagram statement three days after the March 27 show, the “Trainwreck” star said she was “still triggered and traumatized,” adding that Smith must have “so much pain” inside for him to react the way that he did.
Smith smacked Rock for making a bald joke aimed at the former’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who suffers from alopecia.
The remark prompted the 53-year-old “King Richard” star to charge the stage and then shout from his seat, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”
In the moment, however, Schumer attempted to defuse the tension, telling the audience, “I’ve been getting out of the Spider-Man costume. Did I miss anything?” after having flown around the Dolby Theater dressed as the superhero. “There’s, like, a different vibe in here. Probably not. Well, anyway!”
“All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity,” she said of the onstage shocker.
Smith has since apologized to Rock and resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is still investigating the situation and will decide whether there will be more consequences for the actor.
Many of his projects have also reportedly been put on hold due to the incident.
‘Squid Game’ was shocking, but its creator is planning something even worse
Believe it or not, “Squid Game” creator Hwang Dong-hyuk is working on something far more sinister for his next project. The South Korean scare expert is working on a film with the working title “Killing Old People Club,” or “K.O. Club,” based on a novel penned by Umberto Eco, according to Variety.
And if you thought it was horrific to watch people get shot dead by a giant animatronic doll in his wildly popular Netflix series, just wait.
“It will be more violent than ‘Squid Game,’” declared Dong-hyuk during a MIPTV event at the international television market in France recently. He reportedly has already developed a 25-page treatment for the movie, which he expects will be “another controversial film.”
The word “controversial” doesn’t even begin to describe last year’s deranged “Squid Game,” which followed cash-strapped characters competing in a brutal — and fatal for most — series of games in order to win desperately needed money. The show ranked No. 1 in dozens of countries on the streamer, and fans of the drama labeled it “so f – – ked up” and declaring it to be filled with “excessive violence.”
But, of course, who could resist?
“I covered my eyes during one of the initial scenes because it was so gruesome, but then I found myself not being able to look away,” one Brooklynite told The Post last year. The series even reportedly spawned a real-life version back in Korea.
His other planned project aside, a second season of “Squid Game” was confirmed in November by Dong-hyuk, although no timeline has been set for production.
“There’s been so much pressure, so much demand and so much love for a second season. So I almost feel like you leave us no choice!” he told the Associated Press last fall.
“But I will say there will indeed be a second season. It’s in my head right now. I’m in the planning process currently,” he said in an interview. He added that the first season’s determined main character, Seong Gi-hun — played by Golden Globe nominee Lee Jung-jae — will return to the show.
“I will promise you this . . . Gi-hun will come back, and he will do something for the world,” the filmmaker said
Alyssa Miller Seemingly Responds to Andrew Garfield Breakup Rumors

50 Cent Calls STARZ “Incompetent” After Fans Claim “Power Book IV: Force” Episode Leaked
Looks like 50 cent is coming for Starz again for allegedly leaking an episode of his Joseph Sikora-led series, Power Book IV: Force.
In an Instagram screenshot shared to his account on Monday, the rapper posted tweets from users alleging that episode nine had been added to the streaming platform before its release date. “I’m telling [you] this is the best episode this season,” one user said about the leak.
“So the nephew gets shot in episode nine [of Power Book IV: Force],” another user added, summarizing the plot for others to see. “Claudia turns on Tommy because she thinks he doesn’t like Vic. Diamond meets up with the reporter [and] forgives her. Diamond hears a conversation his brother had with his friend and it broke his heart.”
50 cent responded to the chaos by saying, “See they leaked the episode again. These people are incompetent. I went to Harvard, so the f*ck what! SMH.”
Martha Stewart Buries Her Cat After Her 4 Dogs Mistake Her For An Intruder & Kill Her
Martha Stewart is left burying her “defenseless” cat after her 4 dogs mistook the kitty for an intruder and tragically killed her! Taking to Instagram on Sunday (Apr. 3), Martha revealed the sad news in an odd post.
Martha shared a photo showing three men digging a grave for her little kitty, Princess Peony. The 80-year-old TV personality and businesswoman went on to caption the post, “burying the beautiful and unusual Princess Peony. the four dogs mistook her for an interloper and killed her defenseless little self. i will miss her very badly . RIP beauty.”
In a follow-up post, Martha shared a solo, close-up shot of the late Princess Peony, and simply captioned the pic, “this was the Princess Peony.” It’s reported that Martha previously shared Peony’s concerns and fears about her fellow mates-turned-attackers just last August! Martha wrote, “My cats feel liberated because the four dogs are away on vacation. Leaving the cats alone in the house to roam, relax, recover !!!” However, Martha’s now being comforted by her famous friends, who’ve flooded her comments to send their regards. Kris Jenner hopped in and left three teary-eyed emojis, while actress Ellen Pompeo wrote, “So sorry,” with a red heart emoji.

Serena Williams And Her Daughter Olympia Pose Pretty On Instagram In Matching Hot Pink Balmain Dresses
Serena Williams jumped on her Instagram account this morning to bless us with an adorably stylish picture of her and her daughter, Olympia Ohanian, in matching Balmain x Barbie Monogram Knit Minidress dresses.
The tennis phenomenon was reminiscing on a time, while in Paris, when her and her precocious daughter absolutely ATE in hot pink Balmain dresses that were too fly for words. The $2,695 long sleeve mini dresses featured Balmain’s eye-catching monogram print and mock turtlenecks. Serena’s dress included edgy shoulder pads and fit her curvaceous body like a glove. Styled by NYC fashion connoisseur Alon Cameron, Serena’s look was paired with red ankle booties while Olympia set her dress off with ankle strap, gold flat sandals.
Balmain joined forces with Mattel to create the dress which was birthed from a reimagining of the “Theatre of Fashion” barbie fashion show that was updated to include diversity and gender inclusivity.
We always look forward to an adorable picture of Serena and her daughter Olympia in matching outfits and apparently Alexis Ohanian Sr. (Serena’s husband and Olympia’s father) does too. As soon as Serena served her followers with the mod picture, Alexis was one of the first to acknowledge it commenting, “Everything.” Actress Viola Davis couldn’t help but chime in on the cuteness as she commented, “LOVE❤️❤️.”
Drake Loses $100K After Betting on Duke During Final Four
Drake has lost a bet again. Drizzy posted to his Instagram story about the large sum of cash he was betting on in hopes of gaining an additional $52,000.
In the story, he shared a screenshot through the Stake app, which he recently partnered with, betting on Duke to beat North Carolina in their NCAA tournament Final Four match-up.
“I’m a Wildcat for life but I’m riding with @getfadedinc team for this one,” Drake wrote.
And unfortunately, the rapper lucked out and had another loss. The University of North Carolina took home the win with 81-77.
This is the second time Drake has lost out on some money due to a bet, though it barely harms his pockets. According to a Forbes list, the Canadian native makes $50 million a year, though he did laugh at those reports.
In March, he lost $275,000 in a bet against UFC’s Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal. Covington won, and the Champagne Papi thought he would lose. Covington even addressed the bet.
“Let’s talk about all the money that Drake lost tonight. He needs to go back to, you know, selling those shitty albums to get back the money. He should have went to America’s Pick of the Week by mybookie[.ag]. I tried to give the people the pick of the week. I’m America’s champ, and I was America’s pick of the week. Drake, you suck at sports betting. Go back to your shitty little albums and rapping.
He did win over one million for betting in the Super Bowl LVI.
Kim Kardashian Meets Pete Davidson’s Grandparents
It looks like Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson are going strong.
In recent news, Kim Kardashian joined Pete Davidson on a trip to the Big Apple to meet his family.
Pete was filming for a movie near his grandparent’s home in Staten Island. Kim came by to check things out, and after the movie wrapped, they went back to visit his grandparents. This was Kim’s first time meeting the fam!
The meeting isn’t shocking since the pair have been linked together for a while now. It’s a natural next step in the relationship. Pete has met more of Kim’s close friends and family. However, he hasn’t met Kim’s children yet out of respect for Kanye.
AND FINALLY FROM “THE CRAZY PEOPLE SHOPPING AT WALMART” FILES
