50 Cent didn’t stay quiet after his ex, Vivica A. Fox, publicly advised women to steer clear of dating rappers like him.

The entertainer took to Instagram to respond, humorously pointing out that their short-lived romance ended more than two decades ago.

The exchange began during Vivica A. Fox’s appearance at the Ultimate Women’s Expo last weekend. When an audience member asked for life advice, the 61-year-old actress didn’t hold back. “Don’t date 50 Cent, don’t date no damn rappers,” she said instantly, drawing cheers and laughter from the crowd. She stood up and added, “Facts! Facts! Yes! Just so you know, it took me years to be able to laugh about it. I had to learn to laugh not to cry no more, but I did it.”

Not one to let such comments slide, 50 Cent reacted on Monday with a clever Instagram post. He shared an AI-generated image portraying himself as Morpheus from The Matrix, holding both the red and blue pills. In the caption, he wrote, “Either way I’m a have that ass in the matrix, you know I love me some you girl,” before adding the punchline: “but Damn it’s been 22 years Vivica. @50centaction.”

The two first got together in 2003 after meeting at the BET Awards. Their relationship quickly became public when they attended the MTV Video Music Awards that same year. Though their romance lasted less than a year, they later reconnected professionally—Fox appeared in the music video for 50 Cent’s 2009 track “Do You Think About Me.”

Over the years, the former couple has occasionally thrown shade at each other online. Despite the playful digs, Fox once referred to 50 Cent as the “love of my life” during a 2021 VladTV interview. Responding to that comment in a later podcast, 50 Cent seemed at peace with their past, saying, “I’m never bothered by when she says that. At the time that we actually connected with each other, we were unconscious of everything else.” Clearly, even after all these years, their story still makes headlines.

TikTok personality Madeleine White is facing intense criticism after choosing to attend a crowded music festival despite having a clear case of contagious pink eye.

The 30-year-old influencer, known for her lifestyle and fashion posts, shared a video on TikTok documenting her preparations for the Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC) in Orlando, Florida. The clip, meant to celebrate her birthday with her husband Andrew Fedyk, immediately drew backlash as viewers noticed her noticeably inflamed and red eye—a classic sign of conjunctivitis.

White was fully aware of her condition, explaining she caught it from her boyfriend, who she claimed developed pink eye from using low-quality Halloween makeup. Rather than stay home, she decided to disguise it, telling followers, “I’m just going to cover it up with sparkles and a pair of sunglasses and call it a goddamn day.”

She later stated, “I really didn’t know that it was contagious. I thought he got it from the makeup. I was definitely nowhere near as cautious as I should’ve been.”

But her audience wasn’t convinced. The comment section of her video quickly filled with anger and concern, as followers called her out for attending a massive event while highly contagious. One top comment captured the public sentiment perfectly: “going out with pink eye is wild.”

Others echoed the concern, with comments like, “Girl pink eye is literally VERY CONTAGIOUS, the doctors will give you days off because of this??” and “This is very contagious for you to be out the house around a bunch of people.”

White initially responded defensively to the criticism, suggesting a difference in public health practices between the UK and the US. “This is my first time hearing in my life you’re expected to stay home with conjunctivitis,” she replied to one user. “In the UK we wash hands, don’t touch eyes and continue as normal.”

Later, on her secondary account, she posted a follow-up video acknowledging the cultural gap. Over a clip of her looking surprised, text read: “Today I learned conjunctivitis / pink eye is treated very differently in the US than the UK lol.” She added in the caption, “Back in the day I didn’t even get a day off school for this…”

Just two days after the festival, White posted an Instagram carousel with photos from her birthday celebration, captioning it: “30, flirty + in bed for the foreseeable future feeling very loved.”

However, her followers had zero chill. The pink eye controversy immediately resurfaced in the comments.

One user joked, “Pink eye never looked better,” while another teased, “she wore pink to match her eyes .”

Others were less amused. One angry follower wrote: “Gross and tasteless. Pink eye?!?! Stay at home.”

For twelve long years, actress Eva LaRue and her daughter, Kaya Callahan, lived in the shadow of a relentless stalker who terrorized them with violent letters signed by a misspelled “Freddy Krueger.”

The ‘CSI: Miami’ star is now sharing the full story of this harrowing experience in a new Paramount+ docuseries, My Nightmare Stalker: The Eva LaRue Story, which premieres on November 13.

LaRue describes the threats she received as “vile, deplorable, sickening, and absolutely terrifying,” capturing the sheer horror of an ordeal that began in 2007, shortly after she joined the cast of the popular TV series. At the time, she was a single mother raising her five-year-old daughter, Kaya. What started as unsettling fan mail sent to her manager soon escalated into graphic letters filled with threats of rape, torture, and murder.

At first, LaRue dismissed it as a sick joke. But as the letters continued, the reality set in: she was being stalked. One message contained a particularly chilling promise: “I am going to instill fear into every part of your life.” The situation grew even more frightening when the stalker shifted his focus to Kaya. To protect her, LaRue installed security systems and tried to keep the details of the threats hidden, rarely sharing the contents of the dozens of letters that arrived over the years.

“Because my mom kept so much from me, I didn’t really understand what was happening,” Kaya, now 23, recalls in the docuseries. “Watching it all now feels like reliving the trauma, but also seeing it clearly for the first time.”

Despite moving homes three times in an effort to escape, the stalker always found them. The terrifying climax came in 2019. Kaya was 17 and by then aware of some of the threats. One day, she was pulled out of class and told her father was coming to pick her up. Suspicious, she texted her mom. LaRue immediately called her ex-husband, actor John Callahan, who wasn’t even in Los Angeles. They realized the stalker had located Kaya’s school and was posing as her father in an attempt to lure her away. LaRue rushed to the campus, calling the moment a real-life “jump-scare.”

A break in the case finally came later that year. DNA evidence from one of the letters led investigators to 61-year-old James David Rogers from Ohio. He was arrested in 2019, ending the 12-year nightmare. In 2022, Rogers pleaded guilty to federal stalking charges and was sentenced to 40 months in prison.

For Kaya, the arrest brought a profound sense of relief. “It was incredibly freeing,” she shared. “I finally felt like I could live a normal life again.” Today, LaRue is using her voice to advocate for stronger stalking laws, emphasizing that in the age of social media, anyone—not just celebrities—can become a target. “We want to help others who are being stalked and give them hope,” she says.

Captain Jason Chambers Sets the Record Straight on RHOSLC’s Heather Gay’s Hookup Claim

The world of Bravo reality TV collided when Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers found himself at the center of a surprising claim from The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Heather Gay. Now, he’s finally addressing the rumors.

Appearing on Watch What Happens Live, the charismatic Australian captain was put on the spot by host Andy Cohen. The big question: How did he feel hearing Heather Gay tell her co-stars on a recent RHOSLC episode that the two had previously “f–ked around”?

“Jason, number one question: How did you feel when you heard Heather on the show say that the two of you had… knocked knees?” Cohen asked.

Chambers, responding with a characteristic sly smile, initially played it coy. “We hung out in Sydney, as you know, down there for Bravo,” he said. “You’ve been to Sydney before for the Mardi Gras. What happens in Sydney stays in Sydney, you know?”

His cheeky deflection prompted fellow Below Deck star and WWHL guest Daisy Kelliher to joke that his answer basically confirmed the story was “true.” But Captain Jason quickly switched gears to set the record straight.

“No, it’s not true. … It’s not true,” he stated clearly.

He was quick, however, to compliment the RHOSLC group. “But what a friendship. Beautiful people. So, so funny and had such a good time hanging out with them,” he shared. “I’m glad that the friendship built to the point that they wanted to come on the boat for a charter.”

This whole situation stems from an October episode of RHOSLC that played out like a Bravo crossover special. Heather Gay and Whitney Rose organized a yacht charter in the Caribbean, explaining they knew Captain Jason from a past trip to Australia. From the moment they arrived, the Housewives were clearly captivated by the charming crew, especially Captain Jason.

While cast member Britani Bateman seemed particularly interested in the captain, it was Heather Gay who dropped the bombshell. After a day of drinking, she was seen playfully splashing in the water with Chambers, at one point exclaiming, “I’ll ride him like a f–king bronco!”

Later, in a conversation with a visibly surprised Bateman, Gay nonchalantly claimed, “But Jason and I are friends, we have a history, we’ve f–ked around before, there’s nothing there.” She clarified, “I’m saying we’re friends, so there’s latitude.”

In a subsequent confessional, a horrified Gay seemed to have no memory of making the bold statement. “I said that?! Serious faced?!” she exclaimed. “You can’t use that. I don’t know why I said that to her. Delete! Delete!”

While Chambers didn’t address the claim immediately after the episode aired, he did speak highly of the women to Us Magazine at the time, calling them “lovely, all of them.” He also humorously noted the challenge of managing the group’s famous drama, saying, “I’ve tried everything to try and break the ice… but I don’t think there’s anything we could have done to calm it down.” Now, with his WWHL appearance, the captain has made his final position clear: the rumor, while entertaining, is officially debunked.

The 2026 Grammy Awards are shaping up to be one for the history books, with the Recording Academy unveiling a nominee list packed with both iconic legends and thrilling new voices.

Topping the list is hip-hop powerhouse Kendrick Lamar, who dominates the nominations with a staggering nine nods. His acclaimed album GNX and his chart-busting collaboration with SZA, “Luther,” have cemented his status as the artist to beat this season.

Hot on his heels with seven nominations each are the ever-dynamic Lady Gaga and two of the music industry’s most sought-after hitmakers, producers Jack Antonoff and Cirkut. The competition in the biggest categories—Album, Record, and Song of the Year—is incredibly tight, promising a ceremony full of suspense.

The race for Album of the Year is particularly fierce. Lamar’s GNX marks his fifth studio album in a row to be nominated in this top category, an unprecedented achievement. He faces stiff competition from Lady Gaga’s synth-driven masterpiece MAYHEM and a historic entry from Latin global phenomenon Bad Bunny. His album Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned him six nominations, including the coveted trifecta of Album, Record, and Song of the Year (for “DtMF”). According to reports, this makes Bad Bunny the first artist ever nominated in all three major categories for a primarily Spanish-language project.

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter and R&B’s exciting new star Leon Thomas also scored big, each securing six nominations. Carpenter is in the running for Album, Record, and Song of the Year for Man’s Best Friend and its hit single “Manchild,” while Thomas earned a coveted Album of the Year nod for MUTT and a spot in the Best New Artist lineup. Thomas took to social media to share his excitement, retweeting news of his nomination and thanking well-wishers.

The Best New Artist category itself is a showcase of fresh talent, featuring Thomas, Olivia Dean, KATSEYE, Addison Rae, sombr, Alex Warren, Lola Young, and The Marías. The Marías immediately celebrated on X, declaring themselves “your best new artist nominated band!!!!”

Adding to the buzz, the vocalists for KPop Demon Hunters were overjoyed as their track “Golden” scored multiple nominations. “One is enough. It’s more than enough. It’s so hard to achieve, but damn, getting multiple is just crazy,” EJAE told a reporter. Bandmate Audrey Nuna described a “rollercoaster” of emotions, while Rei Ami joked, “I blacked out. I’m still blacked out.”

It’s worth noting that the eligibility period for the 2026 Grammys (August 31, 2024, to August 30, 2025) left out some recent major releases, like Taylor Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl, creating space for new names to break through. With other major acts like Billie Eilish, Bruno Mars, and Tyler, the Creator also in the mix for top honors, the 68th Grammy Awards are guaranteed to be a night of unforgettable moments and well-deserved celebrations.

Katy Perry appears to be pulling back the curtain on her split from Orlando Bloom in her emotional new track, “Bandaids.”

The pop star’s latest release dives into themes of heartbreak, disappointment, and the struggle to save a relationship that has run its course.

In the song’s poignant lyrics, Perry sings, “Hand to God I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned / It’s not what you did, it’s what you didn’t / You were there but you weren’t.” These lines suggest a sense of emotional absence more than outright conflict—a feeling of being let down by unmet expectations rather than dramatic betrayals.

“Bandaids,” released on November 6, is Perry’s first new music since news broke earlier this year that she and Bloom had called off their engagement. The couple had been together for nearly ten years, got engaged in 2019, and share a daughter, Daisy Dove, born in 2020.

Perry continues to voice her frustration in the track: “Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now / Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Band-Aids over a broken heart.” The imagery here reflects a relationship where temporary fixes couldn’t heal deeper issues.

The music video powerfully visualizes her emotional turmoil. Perry is shown in several dangerous scenarios—being electrocuted, trapped in an escalator, and stepping into traffic—metaphors for the pain and risk she felt while trying to salvage the partnership.

Still, the song isn’t solely about anger or regret. Perry also reflects on the brighter moments, singing, “On the bright side, we had good times / Never faked our pictures / We were perfect ’til we weren’t / Now we’ve got too many splinters.” She suggests that while love was real, small, repeated injuries eventually took their toll.

Perhaps one of the most telling lyrics comes when she admits, “I’m flatlining trying to save this / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow”—a raw depiction of emotional exhaustion from fighting for something that no longer had a pulse.

Yet in a surprising turn, Perry closes on a note of bittersweet acceptance. “If I had to do it all over again / I would still do it all over again,” she confesses, as the video shows her narrowly escaping an oncoming train after spotting a daisy—a clear nod to her daughter. “The love that we made was worth it in the end,” she concludes.

While Perry never mentions Orlando Bloom by name, fans have been quick to connect the song’s narrative to their high-profile relationship. Through “Bandaids,” Katy Perry offers more than a breakup anthem—she gives listeners an intimate look at love, loss, and what remains when a chapter closes.

Millie Bobby Brown Claps Back at Tradwife Claims, Defends Keeping Baby Girl Out of the Public Eye

The 21-year-old “Stranger Things” star opens up about her journey into motherhood, adoption, and why her daughter’s privacy is non-negotiable.

Millie Bobby Brown is getting real about life as a first-time mom.

In a cover story for British Vogue’s December 2025 issue, the actress—who revealed in August that she and husband Jake Bongiovi had welcomed a baby girl via adoption—got honest about the joys of parenthood while doubling down on her choice to keep her little one out of the spotlight. She also addressed those viral “tradwife” accusations head-on.

Brown’s first chat with the magazine took place in her Atlanta home one week before she and Bongiovi shared their adoption news on August 21. When asked about her future with Bongiovi, the 21-year-old didn’t skip a beat: “Kids, for sure,” she said. “I’ve always wanted a big family—I’m one of four, and he is too. To me, having a child of your own versus adopting doesn’t feel all that different.”

That offhand comment took on new meaning soon after, when the couple posted an adorable graphic to Instagram with their announcement: “This summer, we welcomed our sweet baby girl through adoption,” the note read. “We’re over the moon to start this beautiful chapter of parenthood in peace and privacy. And then there were 3,” signed by both Brown and Bongiovi.

Weeks later, Brown checked back in with British Vogue to reflect on her early days as a mom. “It’s been such a beautiful, eye-opening journey—she’s already taught us so much,” she gushed. “Perspective is everything. The small, everyday moments feel so much more precious now. Our days are filled with cuddles, laughter, and so much love—endless joy, really.”

But when pressed about her daughter’s personality, the “Enola Holmes” star shut down the question with fiery resolve, making it clear her child’s privacy is a top priority. “I can’t share that,” she said firmly. “It’s crucial to me that we protect her and her story until she’s old enough to decide if she wants to share it herself. I don’t have the right to put her in the spotlight against her will. If she chooses to open up to the world one day, like I did as a kid, we’ll support her 100%. But right now, she’s so tiny—our job as parents is to shield her from that.”

Brown also had nothing but praise for Bongiovi, 23, and how he’s stepped up as a dad. “We split everything 50-50—diapers, feedings, all of it,” she said. “That’s why I’m so grateful he’s my partner in this. He’s an incredible dad.”

Though the pair have made occasional public appearances together since their romance began in June 2021, they’ve kept most of their relationship low-key—including their May 2024 wedding. People reported the ceremony was a “super intimate, romantic gathering with just close family.” They’ve continued that privacy with their daughter: Last month, Brown shared the first photo of the infant (snuggled between her parents on “It’s a Small World”) on Instagram, but blurred her little one’s face to keep her identity private.

Fans were shocked by the news of Brown becoming a mom at 21—especially since the world watched her grow up on screen. She was just 12 when “Stranger Things” premiered on Netflix, and since the show’s last season dropped in 2022, she’s gotten engaged, married, and become a mom—all before turning 22. For many viewers, it’s been a lot to process.

Now, as she promotes the fifth and final season of “Stranger Things” while settling into life in Georgia with Bongiovi and their many pets, Brown is pushing back against claims that she’s embraced a “tradwife” lifestyle. “I’m raising horses—not playing house,” she shrugged to British Vogue. “There’s a huge difference there.”

Bunnie Xo Opens Up About IVF Journey with Jelly Roll: Hopeful for a Growing Family, “If It’s Meant to Be”

Last year, Bunnie Xo took to Instagram to share she was undergoing IVF treatment, and now she’s getting candid about the hurdles along the way as she and husband Jelly Roll hope to expand their family.

The podcaster has been vocal about her path to becoming a mom, and on a recent episode of her Dumb Blonde podcast, she opened up about the ups and downs of her IVF process, which kicked off in 2024. During a chat with Maury Povich, the former CBS Evening News anchor expressed empathy, recalling his own similar experience with wife Connie Chung decades ago.

“We went through the exact same thing you and Jelly Roll are going through,” Povich shared. “We tried so hard to have a baby—this was over 30 years ago. Connie even had to take time off from CBS, and our journey to conceive became a big news story back then.”

Bunnie described IVF as “incredibly tough” but emphasized her faith in the process. “At the end of the day, we’re leaving it in God’s hands,” she said. “If it’s meant to happen, it will. And if not, adoption is always an option we’re open to.”

Currently, Bunnie is stepmom to Jelly Roll’s two kids: 16-year-old Bailee Ann and 8-year-old Noah Buddy. Earlier this year, she got emotional on her podcast talking about her motivation. “I’m riding this emotional rollercoaster—all the worry, the highs and lows—just to have a little piece of me and my husband,” she shared. “A tiny bundle of joy to add to our already beautiful family with the two amazing kids we have.”

Before June 2024, the couple—who tied the knot in 2016—had kept their IVF plans under wraps. “We originally wanted to go through this privately,” Bunnie explained in an Instagram post after Jelly Roll mentioned their journey on the Bussin’ With the Boys podcast. “But we decided to share it because we’ve always been so open with our fans about our lives.”

Excitingly, a few months ago, Bunnie had some positive news to share on social media. “Just got the call I’ve been waiting for—five months into this IVF journey,” she wrote in the caption, clarifying she isn’t pregnant yet. “All the tears, the hopeless days, the struggles… God finally said, ‘Here.’”

Kim Kardashian Drags Kourtney to “Kourt” for Lemme Colostrum: “Sue Me!”

“The prosecution once said—quote unquote—‘Maybe if you had a f–king business you actually cared about, you’d get what it takes to run one, but you don’t.’ Well, now I do,” Kourtney fires back, flashing her radiant skin—only for Kim to clap back: “Bitch, I invented glow!”

It’s a Kardashian courtroom showdown for the ages.

Kim Kardashian is taking sister Kourtney Kardashian Barker to “kourt” in a new ad for Kourtney’s wellness brand, Lemme. The hilarious clip dropped Tuesday, shared by both Kim, 45, and Kourtney, 46, across social media, pitting the siblings against each other in a mock trial over Kourtney’s latest launch: Lemme Colostrum.

Kourtney struts into the courtroom and takes the witness stand, where the judge asks: “Ms. Kardashian Barker, you’re accused of hiding your new beauty and gut health secret—Lemme Colostrum. How do you plead?”

“Your Honor, I’ve only ever prioritized myself,” she says. That’s when Kim leaps up, yelling, “Objection! She’s gatekeeping, and I’ve got proof!”

Told to make her case, the SKIMS founder tells the court: “In this family, we share everything—NDAs, glam teams, group chats, and yes, supplements. So when I heard she was working on Lemme Colostrum, I waited… and waited… and waited.”

“Meanwhile, Kourtney’s skin was looking more airbrushed by the day,” Kim adds, mimicking Kourtney’s tone. “But she just kept saying, ‘Kim, it’s not ready yet.’ So I had her followed.”

Kim whips out a poster board of “evidence”—photos of Kourtney clutching a bottle of Lemme Colostrum. Not one to back down, Kourtney hits below the belt, digging up old drama with one of Kim’s most infamous quotes.

“Your Honor, if I may—isn’t it true the prosecution once said, ‘Maybe if you had a f–king business you actually cared about, you’d get what it takes to run one, but you don’t’? Well, now I do. And jealousy isn’t a valid reason to sue.”

“For the record, Lemme Colostrum fixed my gut, boosted my immune system, and yeah—my skin’s glowing,” she adds. Kim cuts in: “Bitch, I invented glow!”

Chaos erupts in the courtroom before Kourtney steals the final line, holding up a Lemme Colostrum gummy to the camera: “Let it be known—I feel amazing. Sue me!”

Both sisters posted the clip on Instagram and TikTok. Kim captioned hers: “Finally getting justice for the group chat now that @lemme Colostrum Gummies & @lemme Colostrum Liquid Liposomal drop 11.6 .” The line playfully nods to last Thursday’s episode of The Kardashians, where Kourtney quit the family group chat after Khloé Kardashian sent a critical text.

Celeb friends and family flooded the comments with love. “This is the BEST ad of all time!!!” Khloé wrote. Mom Kris Jenner gushed: “OMG This is SOOOO good!!! .” Kim’s All Fair co-star Niecy Nash commented, “Too cute ,” while The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards added, “Love this!! .”

Per the Lemme website, Lemme Colostrum Gummies are made with clinically studied colostrum isolate to support gut health, digestion, and reduce bloating—plus vitamin D3 for immune function and overall wellness. The Lemme Colostrum Liquid features bovine colostrum standardized to immunoglobulins (IgG) for vitality, full-body health, and inner beauty. It also includes lactoferrin, MCT oil, and antioxidant vitamin E.

Colostrum supplements have blown up as a wellness trend lately, with Lemme hailing it as a “nature-made superfood.” Known as “liquid gold,” colostrum is a thick, yellowish milky fluid produced by pregnant people right after giving birth, according to the Mayo Clinic. Supplemental colostrum, however, comes from cows post-delivery. It’s packed with polyunsaturated fats, proteins, vitamin B-12, vitamin K, zinc, growth factors, cytokines, and high levels of antibodies—all of which support nutrition, immune function, and gut health, per the Mayo Clinic.

Meghan Markle Cheers Dodgers’ World Series Victory as Prince Harry Laments Blue Jays’ Loss

The Duchess of Sussex pulled back the curtain on her and Prince Harry’s sleek home theater, where the couple tuned in for the high-stakes Game 7 of the World Series.

As the Los Angeles Dodgers clinched the 2025 World Series title, Meghan Markle was over the moon—while Prince Harry was clearly nursing disappointment for his beloved Toronto Blue Jays. On Saturday, November 1, Meghan shared a snippet to her Instagram Stories capturing the dramatic 5-4 Dodgers win over the Blue Jays. When the final out landed on screen, she let out an excited squeal, leaned over to kiss a glum-looking Harry, then continued celebrating alongside their friend Kelly McKee Zajfen.

Harry’s loyalty to the Blue Jays was undeniable—he sat out the festivities entirely. Kelly echoed that allegiance when she reshared Meghan’s Story, writing, “Best game EVER!!! Sorry H, your team came up short but mine CRUSHED it @dodgers I’m obsessed with you!!!”

The post also gave fans a peek at the couple’s cozy at-home viewing spot. The theater room features plush recliners perfect for relaxing, plus what appears to be a built-in popcorn maker—small buckets of the snack sat beside Harry and Kelly during the game.

This isn’t the first time the pair has shown love for the Dodgers. They rocked LA Dodgers caps just weeks earlier, sitting front row at Dodger Stadium for Game 4. Their seats put them directly in front of baseball icon Sandy Koufax and NBA legend Magic Johnson. Meghan documented the “date night” on her Stories, sharing a clip of Harry cheering on the Dodgers before the two enjoyed a classic Dodger Dog.

Back then, Harry faced some criticism for backing the Dodgers instead of the Blue Jays, given his ties to Canada through the Commonwealth. Could that backlash have prompted a team switch? It certainly seems like Harry was all in for the Blue Jays this time around.
