Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum Are Engaged

I did NOT see this coming. Zoe Kravitz, the love child of Lenny Kravitz and the great Lisa Bonet, is engaged to her boyfriend of two years, Channing Tatum.

That's according to People magazine which says multiple sources have confirmed the joyous news.

The Batman actress, 34, previously opened up about her relationship with Tatum, 43, in a cover interview for GQ's 2022 Men of the Year issue, praising him for being "just a wonderful human."

"He makes me laugh and we both really love art and talking about art and the exploration of why we do what we do," Kravitz explained. "We love to watch a film and break it down and talk about it and challenge each other."

The only person in their family to comment so far was Zoe's ex step dad, Jason Mamoa, who said he is "beyond happy" for the pair.

Ex-SNL writer Mocks Matthew Perry’s death

The death of Matthew Perry over the weekend was really hard on a lot of his fans. I've seen some really really touching tiktoks where people have taken scenes from 'Friends' where Matty (as he was known to friends) is giving a touching goodbye speech and it really hit home.

But not everyone is upset by his passing.

An ex writer for SNL tweeted a link to TMZ's coverage of the actor's passing on Saturday with the caption, 'DROWNED IN A HOT TUB. HAHAHAHA.'

Kevin Brennan, who hosts a podcast called 'Misery Loves Company' and often targets other comedians, was slammed for the tweet, of course, but that didn't stop him.

Following an outpouring of disgust, the unrepentant comedian returned to the social media platform yet again to write: 'Am I trending yet?' 

Whats worse is that despite Matthew being clean for the last few years, Brennan told one critic of his post, "I didn’t mock it. I just thought it was funny. But I do love it when junkies die."

That sounds like a pretty bitter and lonely dude.

No word yet on funeral details for Matthew, but we'll let you know everything we learn.

Taylor Swift is now a billionaire

It happened, y'all. Tay Tay has hit the billionaires club!

According to the finance masters at Bloomberg, which runs the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Taylor Swift’s total net worth is now at $1.1 billion, thanks to a record-breaking Eras tour that helped boost the US economy this summer.

Bloomberg said Swift is one of the few entertainers to reach that status based on just her music and performance.

Chris Leyden, director of growth marketing at SeatGeek, said that “Taylor Swift’s ‘Eras’ tour is rewriting the playbook of entertainment economics.”

“She’s not just a performer — she’s an economic phenomenon,” Leyden said.

Swift has dominated not only Super Bowl-sized arenas, but local movie theaters as well. In its opening weekend, the pop singer’s concert film, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” raked in about $96 million in the box office in the United States and Canada, making it the highest-groatssing concert film domestically for an opening weekend, according to AMC.

Meryl Streep and husband have been separated for years

Could Meryl Streep be taking cues from Jada and Will? This weekend Meryl Streep and her husband, Don Gummer, shocked fans by announcing they've been separated for 6 years!

The pair announced the information through a publicist stating they were still married, despite the long separation.

“Don Gummer and Meryl Streep have been separated for more than 6 years, and while they will always care for each other, they have chosen lives apart,” the publicist said.

Streep and Gummer have four children: Henry, Mamie, Grace, and Louisa.

The Oscar winner and her husband met back in 1978 when he came to her home with her brother to help her move out of the home she shared with her boyfriend, John Cazale. Cazale had died of cancer recently. He offered his home for her to stay in while he traveled.

They married in 1978 at her parents' home on Mason's Island, Connecticut.

Britney Spears got abortion because of Justin

That's a super click-baity headline and I apologize, but it was as brief as I could be while still letting you know how important the news was to Brit fans.

According to Britneys new book, "The Woman in Me," shot to number one on Amazon Tuesday when word got out the book would detail an abortion she got back when she was dating Justin Timberlake.

Now People Magazine has confirmed that in the tome she explains it was because Justin didn't want to be a father. Which, by the way, can be a very mature decision to make, but should still be a mutual one.

In an excerpt, she reveals, “It was a surprise, but for me, it wasn’t a tragedy. I loved Justin so much. I always expected us to have a family together one day. This would just be much earlier than I’d anticipated,” Spears, now 41, says. “But Justin definitely wasn’t happy about the pregnancy. He said we weren’t ready to have a baby in our lives, that we were way too young."

"If it had been left up to me alone, I never would have done it. And yet Justin was so sure that he didn’t want to be a father."

Spears writes of her experience undergoing the abortion: “To this day, it’s one of the most agonizing things I have ever experienced in my life."

You can preorder Spears' book at Amazon. Order ship 10/24/23.

Beyonce supports Taylor on movie premier night

For most of us the record breaking Taylor Swift Era's Tour movie doesn't start until Friday, the 13th. But for a choice few at the Wednesday night preview, they got to see more than a blockbuster. They saw mega stars.

“I’m so glad I’ll never know what my life would’ve been like without @beyonce‘s influence,” Swift began the heartfelt Instagram caption, which was written alongside a boomerang video that showed her and Beyoncé inside the movie theater. “The way she’s taught me and every artist out here to break rules and defy industry norms. Her generosity of spirit."

“Her resilience and versatility,” the “Love Story” singer added in her Wednesday post. “She’s been a guiding light throughout my career and the fact that she showed up tonight was like an actual fairytale. ???.”

Beyoncé — who recently wrapped up her Renaissance World Tour — wore a stylish black outfit with a shiny silver breastplate, which was also on display when she posed alongside the "Blank Space" singer on the red carpet for the event. Swift meanwhile, wore a strapless blue Oscar de la Renta gown with floral cutout detail and accessorized with a diamond necklace.

I personally have tickets for the Saturday show and could not be more excited.

Floyd Mayweather sending PJ full of aid to Israel

Yesterday champion boxer Floyd Mayweather was one of the many celebrities who posted about their support of Israel after the Hammas massacre at the beginning of the week. Writing on his instagram, "I stand with Israel and Jews all around the world. I condemn antisemitism at all cost. I stand for Peace. I stand for Human Rights! Terrorism Is Never The Answer!"

Last night he took that vow of support to a higher level when he promised to send his private jet, (called Air Mayweather), full of aid.

TMZ first broke the news saying Mayweather was sending his PJ to the Middle Eastern country to deliver food and other supplies, including bullet-proof vests, for Israeli Defense Force soldiers.

A rep for the professional fighter says that the jet is being loaded for the flight this week, and is expected to arrive this weekend with "equipment that will be handed out personally by his pilots," A.J.Ramey, Chris Javier, Sam Kniskern and Freeman Blakney — a roster featuring U.S. Army and U.S. Air Force veterans.

Mayweather was in Israel in 2022 while traveling and fell in love with the people and country.

Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas reach custody agreement

It's been one of the bigger divorces of 2023 and it seemed like it might linger in court for a long time. But Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas have reached an agreement concerning their kids and finances.

The former couple will each get two weeks at a time with their daughters Willa, three, and Delphine, one, until January.

They will also be allowed to travel to anywhere in the US and the UK, meaning that Turner can bring the girls to England, which she claims will be their 'forever home.'

While Jonas will get to take the girls on tour with his band The Jonas Brothers, Turner will get to spend Christmas with them in the UK with her family.

The agreement comes after four days of intense mediation in New York, where the girls are currently staying with Turner. The resolution of custody of the children is expected to clear to way to finalizing the couple’s divorce.

Sophie, of course, is staying in New York city at Taylor Swifts house during court proceedings. She will now return to the UK with them, but must bring them back to mr Jonas by October 21st.
