Holiday cheer is contagious.
Days after actor and director Tyler Perry dropped more than $400,000 to pay off all the layaway items at two Atlanta-area Walmarts, musician Kid Rock followed suit in his adopted hometown of Nashville, reportedly playing Santa for hundreds of families.
“Great idea!” the rap-rocker wrote in response to a tweet by Perry about his own kind deed. “I followed your lead and paid off the layaway at my local Walmart in Nashville. Merry Christmas and God Bless ...
The stars of Friends are set to land a colossal payday after Netflix paid a reported $100million to air the classic sitcom for another year — with their earnings being boosted to almost $22million per year from the show alone.
Thanks to a back-end deal — which sees Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Matthew Perry get two per cent of profits — their syndication earnings have been padded by a further $1.4million.

Kevin Hart said Thursday night that he’s stepping down from hosting the 2019 Oscars — just two days after getting the gig — in the wake of criticism over a series of homophobic tweets he posted years ago.
“I have made the choice to step down from hosting this year’s Oscar’s….this is because I do not want to be a distraction on a night that should be celebrated by so many amazing talented artists,” Hart wrote in a statement on Twitter.
The announcement he would be quitting the show came just minutes after he posted a message on Instagram saying Motion Picture Academy officials had asked him to apologize or they would find another host — and he refused to apologize.
Despite that statement, Hart did offer an apology in his later resignation tweet, saying: “I sincerely apologize to the LGBTQ community for my insensitive words from my past.”
A number of homophobic tweets that Hart had sent years ago drew criticism after he was tapped as the ceremony’s host on Tuesday.
One from 2011 said: “Yo if my son comes home & try’s 2 play with my daughters doll house I’m going 2 break it over his head & say n my voice ‘stop that’s gay.”

Yesterday, Cardi B announced the shocking news that she and her husband Offset were splitting up after just a year of marriage. And despite a super mature statement talking about how they simply grew out of love and remain close friends, the internet is being super internet-y.
According to the every present "sources", “They were really together, of course. But, after a while, it was more for business. They’re both very street, and they have smart people who are savvy and made it...
Understandably, Rihanna has chose to list the LA residence where, just 6 months ago, an intruder/stalker broke in and hung out for 12 hours. She's hoping to get $7,495,000 for the Nichols Canyon stunner.
All but invisible behind a towering wall of foliage and camera-secured entry gates on close to half of an acre with an over-the-palm-trees city view, the property offers six bedrooms and eight full and two half bathrooms in a total of about 7,130-square-feet divided between the three-story main house and poolside guesthouse atop a detached two-car garage. The glamorously and expensively outfitted residence, an unusual mix-and-match Craftsman meets Mediterranean contemporary, has high ceilings, arched doorways, a slew of glitzy light fixtures and steel-framed windows and doors.

The worst rioting to rock Paris in years left a trail of destruction and vandalism in recent days, and ultimately led French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe to announce a suspension of what initially provoked the backlash: higher fuel taxes.
What began as a protest in October of President Emmanuel Macron’s proposal to increase fuel taxes turned into a broader outcry across the country against policies that favor the elite at the expense of the working class.

In one of her many efforts to better the world, Angelina Jolie has made it her mission to end sexual violence and stop the social stigma that survivors face.
And while she is certainly doing that on a global scale, working with nonprofits and governments, the 43-year-old is also having those discussions right at home with her children — both the boys and the girls.
'I don’t just speak to my daughters. I speak to them with their brothers,' she told Marie Claire in a new interview. 'Th...
Since Drake shattered virtually every streaming record with his “Scorpion” album, released in June, it’s no surprise that his 8.2 billion streams in 2018 make him not only Spotify’s most-streamed artist of the year, he’s the platform’s most-streamed artist of all time. “Scorpion” and its song “God’s Plan” also were the most streamed album and song of 2018, respectively; Drake was also the platform’s most-streamed artist in 2015 and 2016.

Elisa Johnson, the 23-year-old daughter of NBA legend and Los Angeles Dodgers part-owner Magic Johnson, had to flee a San Fernando Valley house after a home invasion.
Johnson was at an AirBnB house that her friends had rented on early Sunday morning, when two armed men entered the house, according to TMZ.
While it isn't known if the door to the home was unlocked, or if the thieves broke in, they are said to have held a number of people at gunpoint while, 'shoving them around the home.'
