Just in case anyone out there is keeping a formal list of Reasons Zendaya Is Amazing, please go ahead and add “she put up with Tom Holland having very bad hair for almost a year” to the official record. Tom is currently making the rounds doing press to promote his new Apple TV+ series, The Crowded Room, which means new tidbits about his and Zendaya’s relationship for the rest of us. In an interview with Radio Times published earlier this month, Tom addressed the truly unfortunate hair he sports in...

Spoilers below. ’Tis a telling conundrum that nearly every supporting character in The Idol is more compelling than Tedros Tedros, the club owner whose “rape-y” vibe is supposedly so magnetizing to erratic pop star Jocelyn. The scenes in which Tedros does not appear in episode 2, “Double Fantasy,” have a dull glimmer of promise; watching, you can almost believe Lily Rose-Depp’s Joss might possess a warped facsimile of the Britney Factor. But the moment Tedros appears on screen, the Sam Levinson project phases into something painful and repellant—not in the...

The internet nearly imploded last week when rumors surfaced alleging a romance between rapper Kelis and actor Bill Murray. But Kelis remains unfazed, as evidenced by an Instagram comment she posted over the weekend. When a fan commented on her recent post, “Ma’am would you care to address these Bill Murray allegations?!? Cuz damn! What he doing with all that?!?” Kelis simply responded, “lol no babe, I wouldn’t bother at all.”And why would she? From the looks of her recent Instagram Stories, she’s enjoying a sunny beach getaway. She has...

Taylor Swift appeared to get a little emotional at her Detroit show over the weekend. Fans spotted that, when she performed “Breathe” on the piano, she seemed to wipe away a tear at the end of the song. Whether she was actually tearing up or just scratching an itch (it’s hard to tell from the footage), you can’t blame Swift for getting into her feelings while singing the Fearless breakup ballad. One might try to draw connections to her recent splits from Matty Healy or Joe Alwyn (though her expression...

Hailey Bieber doesn't mind a little cold. The model and Rhode Beauty founder documented herself taking a cold plunge yesterday on TikTok, submerging herself in cold water in an outdoor tub while sporting a navy bikini. She noted that she takes a dip for “30 seconds minimum” and that “cold plunging has helped me a lot with anxiety and overall mood.” This isn't her first time documenting her plunges on TikTok. Last month, Bieber filmed herself going from the sauna to the tub (and repeating the cycle). Cold plunges are...

Whom among us (with the exception of these four women) is throwing ourselves at Tom Brady? In this economy? Not Irina Shayk. After a source told Page Six that the model made a “beeline” for the now-single NFL player at a mutual friend's wedding last week, a rep for Shayk blatantly denied the report. Again. “This story is completely false. It is a totally malicious and fictional account of the evening,” Cheri Bowen, vice president of The Society Management, told The Daily Mail. She gave the same statement to Page...

Taylor Swift has released a new vault track titled “You're Losing Me,” and fans are wondering if the lyrics are offering a window into her relationship and recent breakup with ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn. The song was the second of two new releases this Friday along with “Hits Different,” and new versions of two original songs from the album: “Karma” featuring Ice Spice and “Snow on the Beach” with extended Lana Del Rey vocals.In “You're Losing Me,” Swift sings she's like a “phoenix always rising from the ashes, mending all her...

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello split in 2021 after many years of friendship and a few more of hot romance. They first set off dating rumors with the release of their single “Señorita” in 2019, showing off their chemistry in a very sultry music video that got their fans talking.Their relationship was covered in Netflix's Shawn Mendes: In Wonder, a documentary that partly follows Cabello's own ode to their love, her second solo album Romance. “For the past, like, four years, just being friends and not being able to see...

This Barbie is ready to party. Dua Lipa released “Dance the Night,” a new original song and lead single for the Barbie movie, and it's a sparkling disco track that lives up to its title. If you're a fan of her album Future Nostalgia (who wasn't?), this will be right up your alley. You've probably already heard snippets of the song already from the trailers. Lipa, who enchanted us with her dance-worthy 2020 album, is a perfect musical match for Barbie. The singer told Dazed that director Greta Gerwig said...

Spoilers for Love & Death below.Before she signed onto HBO Max’s miniseries Love & Death, Elizabeth Olsen didn’t know about Candy Montgomery, the Texan homemaker and churchgoer who, in 1980, brutally murdered her ex-lover’s wife Betty Gore with an axe. And even when she received the scripts from show creator David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) and director Lesli Linka Glatter (Mad Men), she didn’t immediately realize that it was a true story. Audiences, however, might already be familiar Candy’s true-crime tale, if for no reason other than Hulu’s recent...

But their exploration of their relationship is ongoing—and it's going well enough that they will hold hands in public. Paparazzi captured the pair hand-in-hand in New York City on Tuesday. Both wore jeans, with Mendes wearing a dark tank top and Cabello wearing a leather jacket and white crop top. The two musicians were on a coffee date, per TMZ.The sighting this week comes about a month after a source told Entertainment Tonight on April...

Meghan Markle was supposed to receive an award in person for her podcast Archetypes at the Gracie Awards in Beverly Hills last night. Instead, just a week after she and Prince Harry were involved in a car chase by paparazzi that was “relentless” and “near catastrophic,” per their rep, Meghan chose not to go. This morning, as news spread of her absence, Us Weekly published a report detailing how she and Harry feel about the public response to their car chase, along with all the people and outlets casting doubt...
