Nope, Scottie Pippen’s Ex & Michael Jordan’s Son Not Dating, Despite Being Spotted Out Together
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Manny Hernandez / Getty We all know that nothing gets the rumor mill spinning like when celebrities who know one thought were dating are caught out it public together looking like they’re on a date. Well, apparently, that also applies to the family members of celebrities. So, Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife was spotted with Michael Jordan’s son and the two appeared to be on a double date with another couple. Now, for those of us who would not recognize Pippen’s ex or Jordan’s son if we bumped into them at Waffle House and they were both wearing the respective Chicago Bulls jerseys of the NBA legend they’re attached to, we might wonder how anyone even noticed the pair. (To be fair, Pippen’s ex is a Real Housewives star, so, fans would certainly know her. It’s ent...
Harry! Olivia! Florence! I’m Losing It Over the Don’t Worry Darling Premiere
I knew Styles would treat us to something spectacular, and he certainly held up his end of the bargain in a midnight blue, flared-trouser suit and cornflower pointed-collar shirt, accessorised with white shoes, retro sunglasses (all by Gucci, naturally), gold rings, and a pastel manicure. Pleasing indeed. Then, there’s fashion darling and, in my opinion, one of the A-list’s freshest dressers, Florence Pugh, who took the naked dress trend to the next level with her off-the-shoulder Valentino Haute Couture creation of tulle and sequins. A fellow petite girl, she has my full support in her choice of stacked platform, bow-adorned heels. Then, there’s the film’s director Olivia Wilde, whose flowing yellow Gucci gown was challenged in its beauty by only her diamond j...
Chrisean Rock Says She’ll Never Hit Blueface ‘In Public’ Again, But He Says, ‘I’m Worried’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty We all know that rapper Blueface and his (I guess?) girlfriend Chrisean Rock are a walking reality show for older people who miss Jerry Springer and younger folks who need a measuring stick for how toxic their relationship is. But an incident that led to Rock’s arrest earlier this month—after she was caught on camera throwing hands at the “Respect My Cryppin” rapper—has given her new clarity and she says her days of domestic violence against her man have come to an end. A reporter for TMZ caught up with the (again, I guess?) couple at the Los Angeles International Airport on Monday and asked what can be done to make their relationship more stable and less like a Bizarro World Ike and Tina situation (my words, not his), to whi...
Kendall Jenner Just Wore the Flat Shoe Trend That’s All Over Mango and M&S
Wouldn’t you just love to spend some time in Kendall Jenner’s shoe wardrobe? I’m sure it’s a magical place. I’ve written my fair share of content about her shoes, but this is the first time I’ve covered Jenner wearing ballet flats. But given that they’re a major trend at the moment and she loves a trend, it’s quite fitting. Personally speaking, I love it when somewhat classic shoe styles such as ballet flats become trendy, as I can feel good about investing in them knowing that I’ll still want to wear them once the trendiness cools off. Ballet flats are that for me, and forward brands like The Row, Miu Miu, and Gucci are embracing it and people are responding, as I see them selling out left and right. But not to worry, th...
Que?: Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck Held Wedding at “Imitation Plantation”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bellocqimages/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s official wedding festivities took place this weekend at a Georgia estate owned by Affleck which has been called an “imitation plantation.” Affleck purchased the massive Georgia estate in 2003. The home sits on 87-acres, and is 6,000-square-feet and features a deep water port, a 10,000-square-foot guest house and equestrian facilities. Related Stories The Academy Award-winning actor tried to sell the property in 2018 three years after appearing on PBS’s “Finding Your Roots” series hosted by Harvard professor Dr. Henry Louis Gates. On the show, it was uncovered that Affleck’s ancestor, Benjamin Cole owned multiple enslaved African-Americans. Affleck listed the house twice...
Victim Says She & R. Kelly Had Sex “Uncountable Times” While Underage
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Chicago Tribune / Getty A Chicago, Illinois woman testified in court that she and disgraced entertainer R.Kelly had sexual encounters numerous times before she was 18 years old. According to reports, the 37-year-old woman testifying under the name of Jane Doe made those statements during Kelly’s second federal trial on Thursday (August 18). She is the key witness for the prosecution in these proceedings. The lawyers stated that they would play pieces of recordings that Kelly made of him engaging her in sexual acts when she was only 15. It was the same recording that was used as evidence in the infamous 2008 trial where the singer was charged with child pornography, after which he was acquitted partially because Jane was too young to testify at the time. L...

Angelina Jolie Wore Flats With Summer’s Prettiest (and Most Uncomplicated) Dress
Ever since I saw her in Mr. and Mrs. Smith wearing that white, eyelet two-piece set, I’ve been completely and irrevocably obsessed with Angelina Jolie’s style. (Sure, she probably didn’t have a say in that outfit given that it was part of her costume, but that’s a discussion for another day.) From her days spent in leather trousers and vintage tees to her modern-day rotation of hyper-elegant trousers and dresses, there’s pretty much nothing in Jolie’s wardrobe that doesn’t look impeccable. And her latest outfit is hardly an exception. This week, the Eternals actress was spotted in La Jolla doing some grocery shopping with her son Knox in a simple, white sundress from Vince, paired with an oversize cardigan, a white Dio...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Yeezy GAP / YEEZY GAP Billionaire rapper/producer Kanye West is nothing if not unpredictable. The star is being criticized for the merchandising presentation of his new Yeezy Gap collection. In a now-viral post, a Twitter user wrote, “This is how they are selling Yeezy GAP.

Jennifer Lopez Just Wore the Prettiest Shoe Trend of 2022
When it comes to an eye-catching shoe trend, Jennifer Lopez isn’t one to shy away. This observation was confirmed a few days ago in New York when Lopez wore the least low-key, but also prettiest, shoe trend of the year: crystal-embellished. Specifically, Lopez’s shoes are a new bedazzled version of Valentino’s viral Tan-Go platform heels, which she paired with an equally pretty lace Gucci dress and a Valentino mini bag. In general, crystal-embellished shoes have been quite a trend this year, with Amina Muaddi and Mach & Mach really leading the charge. Now, you can find pretty crystal shoes via designer brands for over £1k to affordable brands for under £100. When you’re J.Lo, you’re probably going to go for the designer ones, hence the stunning V...
Desus Nice Guest Hosts ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cindy Ord / Getty Desus Nice made his first appearance on television since his split with The Kid Mero, filling in for late-night host Jimmy Kimmel and joking about being fired from Showtime in his monologue. Desus was tapped to be one of the many guest hosts that Kimmel usually has for his ABC late-night show during the summer months, marking his first appearance on TV since the highly public split between him and his comedic partner, The Kid Mero last month. The separation led to the dissolution of their Showtime late-night show, Desus & Mero. Related Stories While he didn’t touch upon that situation too much in his opening monologue, he did have one sequence that hinted that there was more to the situation with Showtime than previously reported. “L...
