Long gone are the days of Pete Davidson and Ariana Grande's summer of romance.

The 27-year-old Saturday Night Live cast member and the 26-year-old Bridgerton actress kicked off a romance that lasted from February to August. A Caverswall, England, teen saw the pair strolling past her house and snagged a photo op with Davidson. Per local news source Stoke-on-TrentLive, the...

Haiti is in crisis. On Saturday, a 7.2-magnitude earthquake hit the Caribbean country, killing at least 1,297 people. Thousands of homes, as well as landmarks, churches, markets, and hospitals, have collapsed or been damaged, leaving people without supplies or shelter as a tropical storm rolls in early this week.

The White Lotus brought us laughter. It brought us irony. It brought us Jennifer Coolidge sobbing into a box of ashes and Alexandra Daddario making every journalist question their body of work. And while we must bid goodbye to the swaying palm trees and ominously yellow-tinged sky of The White Lotus's famed Hawaiian property, HBO has confirmed the vacation need only take a slight detour: The acclaimed social satire is coming back for a second season, this time in a new locale and with a new cast of VIPs.Per Deadline,...

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have kept the exact status of their personal relationship private, but E! got a little update on the state of affairs between the two exes and co-parents three months after it was reported they were giving things a shot romantically again. E! reports now that Jenner and Scott still aren't an “official couple again,” two years after their original split, but that remains very much a possibility in the future.“Kylie and Travis are doing really well,” a source close to Jenner said. “They have been...

The memory is still seared in my mind: Sanaa Lathan, chin up, a basketball clutched to her chest like a lifeline. I was a child sitting in front of the television; Love & Basketball was on BET. Lathan's Monica Wright was the first Black female I'd ever watched on TV who actually reminded me of myself. Like me, Monica whined when she got her hair combed, hated wearing dresses, and was continually desperate to rush outside and play with the boys. But it was the way Lathan would furrow her...

Rihanna and her boyfriend A$AP Rocky had a late New York City date last night, ending their Pergola nightclub outing at 5 a.m. And as always, Rihanna brought her best summer date style to the occasion, pairing a Harley Davidson handkerchief top with very ripped jeans and sandal heels.

Still, RiRi has prioritized her free time, too, as she maintains two brands and her music career.As she...

By now, you’d have had to be in exile on a WiFi-barren island to avoid the buzz around HBO’s surprise summer hit The White Lotus. Set at a lavish Hawaiian resort, the deliciously mischievous show portrays a group of privileged, oblivious, mostly white guests and the frustrated staff members attempting to perfect their stay. Yet nothing—not the“romantic” boat ride for the newlyweds, nor the traditional luau dinner-and-show for families—goes as planned. As the episodes peel back the layers of the seemingly picturesque oceanside vacation, some truly dark debris floats to...

American Crime Story, the Emmy-winning FX series that gave audiences a closer look into the trial of O.J. Simpson and the assassination of Gianni Versace, will be tackling a new, eerily relevant topic in its third season: the impeachment of President Bill Clinton.The season, appropriately titled Impeachment: American Crime Story, will explore the case against Clinton, which infamously involved his sexual relationship with White House intern Monica Lewinsky. Clive Owen will play the role of Clinton, while Beanie Feldstein will take on Monica Lewinsky. The season, originally set to begin...

The conservatorship battle that sparked the highly publicized #FreeBritney movement has seemingly reached its long-sought goal. Britney Spears’s father, Jamie Spears, has announced that he is “willing to step down” as her conservator, though the action will not take place immediately. “Mr. Spears is willing to step down when the time is right, but the transition needs to be orderly and include a resolution of matters pending before the Court,” the court filing read, as reported by NBC News. Once Jamie has officially chosen to step down, he will no...

Hailey and Justin Bieber are the kind of couple who loves dressing up (Hailey more formally than Justin most of the time), and this week they did it again.

Hailey accessorized with a Bottega Veneta bag, Rachel G jewelry, and an Anita Ko necklace. Over 4.6 million people liked Justin's post: This content is imported from...

Twenty years ago, Sex and the City’s Charlotte (Kristin Davis) sat down with her three best friends—Samantha (Kim Cattrall), Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), and Miranda (Cynthia Nixon)—at a diner in the middle of the night. She had a radical proposal: “Maybe we can be each other’s soulmates,” she said. “And let men be these great, nice guys to have fun with.”This overture began with the disclaimer “Don’t laugh,” because the very notion that women could abandon the idea of a fairytale romance for their platonic friendships sounded ridiculous in 2001....
