If you logged onto the internet this week, then you already know Kim Kardashian turned 40 years old. The celebrity threw a surprise party on a private island with dozens of friends and family members during a global pandemic, and Twitter rightfully roasted her for it. It turns out, she got an extra special gift on top of that: a hologram of her late father from Kanye West. “For my birthday, Kanye got me the most thoughtful gift of a lifetime. A special surprise from heaven. A hologram of my dad,” she tweeted. “It is so lifelike! We watched it over and over, filled with emotion.” “I can’t even describe what this meant to me and my sisters, my brother, my mom and closest friends to experience together,” she continued. “Thank you so much Kanye for this memory that will last a lifetime.” Her f...
In what would have been the biggest scandal in almost any other presidency, Trump administration officials attempted to hijack $250 million allocated for a coronavirus awareness campaign, with the hope of using taxpayer money to instead boost Donald Trump’s re-election chances. Now, leaked documents have revealed the administration’s notes on potential celebrity endorsements, including a concern that Billie Eilish is “destroying our country and everything we care about.” The story began when the Department of Health and Human Services sent out a “performance work statement” to several communication firms regarding a $250 million contract. An exposé in Politico raised concerns about the partisan intentions behind the advertisements, especially as HHS is supposed to remain independent. This ...
On Wednesday, word got out that Sacha Baron Cohen caught Rudy Giuliani attempting to seduce his “15-year-old daughter” in his upcoming Borat sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Giuliani was quick to deny anything happened, but Baron Cohen knows the truth — so he uploaded a new video of himself as Borat letting Donald Trump’s personal attorney off the hook. The scene that started this whole debacle occurs near the film’s end. When 24-year-old actress Maria Bakalova (playing the role of Borat’s 15-year-old daughter Tutar Sagdiyev) sits down for an interview with Giuliani in a New York City hotel room, she eventually invites him into the next room for a drink. Giuliani tells Tutar to “come here” as they enter the room, then he sits on the bed, begins touching her back, and asks for her phone ...
Did Sacha Baron Cohen just save Democracy? At the very least, he embarrassed the shit out of Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Rudy Giuliani. In a bid to resuscitate Donald Trump’s floundering presidential campaign, the former New York City mayor has spent the last few months digging up dirt on Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden. He’s gone as far to claim, without evidence, that he’s in possession of raunchy photos and videos involving Hunter Biden and underage girls. But in Cohen’s Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, it’s Giuliani who’s seen engaging in such promiscuous activity. Note: *Spoilers are ahead* If you don’t want to ruin the surprise for yourself, I suggest you stop reading. Towards the end of the film, 24-year-old actress Irina Nowak, playing the role of Borat’s 15-year-old daugh...
Over the summer, The Chainsmokers threw COVID caution to the wind with a “drive-in” concert in the Hamptons. VIP tickets cost upwards of $25,000, which is just $5,000 more than the promoters behind the event will now have to pay in fines to state of New York. Videos from the concert — thrown during peak pandemic back in July — immediately sparked backlash when they started spreading on social media. More than 3,000 attendees had arrived in over 600 vehicles, and they clearly weren’t staying within their designated parking perimeters. Even worse, most appeared to be gleefully flouting mask requirements. The New York State Department of Health launched an investigation into the concert over violations of its COVID-19 safety regulations. Today, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that the event’s...
Lana Del Rey is drawing criticism for her choice of face wear during a recent indoor book signing. Earlier this week, Del Rey appeared at a Los Angeles Barnes and Noble to sign copies of her new poetry book, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass. As photos and videos posted to Del Rey’s own Instagram show, the singer opted to wear a mesh face mask. With hundreds of tiny little holes, the covering offered Del Rey little in the way of protection during the COVID-19 pandemic, but at least it was sparkly! Not surprisingly, Del Rey was immediately hammered on social media. “Lana Del Rey wearing a face mask // a random Karen wearing a face mask,” read one comment posted to her Instagram. Another read, “What is wrong with Lana del Rey like she’s literally not okay why is she wearing a fishnet mask...
Tekashi 6ix9ine recently spent two days in the hospital after overdosing on diet pills and caffeine. In an interview with The Shade Room, the TattleTales rapper said the combination of Hydroxycut and McDonald’s coffee caused him to experience an “overdose reaction.” 6ix9ine began taking Hydroxycut, a weight loss supplement, following his release from prison earlier this year. Though he’s already down 25 pounds, 6ix9ine admitted to taking double the recommended amount. According to The Shade Room, Tekashi has since been discharged from the hospital and is “doing fine.” Despite the adverse effects, he intends to continue taking Hydroxycut until he reaches his pre-prison weight of 150 pounds, at which point he plans to rejoin Instagram. In February 2019, 6ix9ine was sentenced to 24 month...
Rick Moranis was the victim of a random attack while walking in Manhattan’s Upper West Side on Thursday. According to ABC 7 News, police are searching for a man who walked up to Moranis and sucker punched him in the head. The incident took place around 7:30 a.m. ET on West 70th street near Central Park West. Moranis, 67, sustained injuries to his head, back, and hip in the attack and was taken to a local hospital for evaluation. “He is fine but grateful for everyone’s thoughts and well wishes,” a representative for Moranis told The Hollywood Reporter. Last month, Moranis made his first on-screen appearance in 23 years alongside Ryan Reynolds in a commercial for Mint Mobile. He’s next set to reprise his role as Wayne Szalinski in Disney+’s forthcoming reboot of Honey, I Shrunk the...
With quarantine still in full swing and Fast & Furious 9 delayed until next year, what’s Vin Diesel to do with his spare time? Apparently get really into EDM. Today, the 53-year-old actor has released his debut single, a clubby track titled “Feel Like I Do”. Though it may be amusing to think about Groot hitting the dance floor, Diesel’s new song is more in line with Kygo and Flume — it’s a forever summer tune for the celebrity Coachella crowd. And it makes perfect sense given the personnel working behind the scenes; “Feel Like I Do” was written by Kygo collaborator Petey Martin and released via the Kygo co-founded Palm Tree Records. “For so long, I have been promising to release music… encouraged by you, to step out of my comfort zone,” Diesel wrote on Instagram. “Thank you for believi...
With live music shut down for the foreseeable future, artists are looking for new ways to make money. Some are selling face masks, others are live-streaming concerts. Aaron Carter is doing porn. The former child pop star has been a regular presence on the adult film site CamSoda since joining earlier this month. In fact, according to a press release (yes, there’s a press release about this!), Carter’s first-ever live show became the most popular private event in CamSoda’s six-year history. Viewers of Carter’s shows have been treated to a multi-faceted experience involving music (Carter sings and plays guitar in the nude), dancing, and fan Q&As, along with other sultry activities that you’d expect from a cam show. In addition to CamSoda, Carter has created his own OnlyFans account, for ...
Some people take the high road, but Joe Exotic prefer to go low. The Tiger King star has launched a new underwear line called “Revenge”, and among other perks (?) it allows you to wear his face over your own crotch. The merch is a collaboration with streetwear brand Odaingerous. As TMZ notes, Odaingerous soft-launched “Revenge” in May, and that collection of shirts and hoodies sold out in mere hours. Branded underwear is a new touch, but it makes sense: An undone fly is as synonymous with Joe Exotic as salacious murders and animal abuse. The showstopper of these skeevy skivvies is called the “Financially Recover Cheetah Boxer Brief”. That’s the one that allows you to cover your own majesty with the face of the King. “Revenge” also includes tiger stripe prints in various colors, word patter...
