Taylor Swift: Engaged to Joe Alwyn?!

Taylor Swift turned 29 years old on Thursday, December 13. Happy birthday, girl! And a new report says that she can expect a whopper of a post-birthday present any day now from boyfriend Joe Alwyn . Joe is apparently very eager to propose to her. So romantic! Us Weekly reports that Taylor Swift could get a proposal any day now from her British boyfriend. “Joe is very keen on proposing soon,” an insider reveals. We sure hope that this isn’t spoiling any surprises that he might have in store for Taylor! “But,” the source says. “He wants to make it unforgettable.” “And,” the insider continues, Joe wants to make it “extremely special.” We should hope so — there’s only one Taylor Swift. You don’t want a less-than-stellar proposal. But apparently he shouldn’t be too worried. The key to proposing to Taylor may simply be to, well, be his charming self. “He’s her dream guy,” the source gushes. She’s dated some of the hottest and most famous dudes on the planet. But it looks like she and Joe just clic k. So whatever he has planned, it sounds like Taylor’s answer is expected to be in the affirmative. According to the insider’s prediction: “Taylor’s going to be over the moon.” Part of Joe’s appeal as a boyfriend — and perhaps, as a future fiance or even spouse — is that he’s comfortable in Taylor’s shadow. “She can be herself and be open,” the source explains. Taylor is a global phenomenon. Joe is a British actor whose best known roles are for smaller productions with painfully British names. (Not being shady! Seriously he’s best known for Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk , which is more British than beans on toast) According to the insider: “Joe doesn’t care about being in the spotlight.” But that didn’t stop him from beginning to date Taylor, starting in September 2016. There may be more on the horizon for Taylor and Joe than a proposal, engagement, or even marriage. Apparently, fans can look forward to some very talented babies at some point or another. “Taylor has always said she wants a big family,” the source reports. Well, she is very nurturing of her cats, as we have all seen. “And she sees herself having kids with Joe,” the insider concludes. That sounds incredibly adorable. Taylor deserves to get her happily ever after. In 2016, Kim Kardashian’s callous sabotage, timed to coincide with Calvin Harris betraying her with a series of scating tweets, led to her downfall. It was a temporary fall from grace — one arguably brought about by two years of overexposure more than any one backstabber. Just as Taylor had feared, general audiences felt oversaturated by her brand, and were eager for an excuse to pounce upon her and reject her. She stepped away from the limelight — and, very quietly, stepped into the arms of Joe Alwyn thanks to a friend’s recommendation. (Yes, she “dated” Tom Hiddleston for a while that summer before she met Joe, and no, we don’t talk about that) In late 2017, she returned to the spotlight with a vengeance — and with an album, Reputation . Her life is back on track and her exposure levels are much more palatable to easily suggestible masses who could never get on a true stan’s level. Taylor deserves whatever she wants out of life, and we’re glad that Joe sees things the same way. View Slideshow: Taylor Swift: Fans Rave at Her Speech for Pride Month!

Miss USA Just Embarrassed Her Country (VIDEO)

You won't believe this… … but we have a new beauty pageant controversy. In viral footage featured here, Sarah Rose Summers — the 24-year old Nebraska native who won Miss USA in May — is seen calling attention to fellow Miss Universe contestants Miss Cambodia (Rern Sinat) and Miss Vietnam (H'Hen Nie). “What do you think of Miss Vietnam Nie?” Summers asks the women in the video. “She's so cute and she pretends to know so much English and then you ask her a question after having a whole conversation with her and she goes [nods and smiles],” Summers said prior to laughing. “She's adorable.” After Miss Colombia asks her “how?” Summers does the imitation again. Then, in another clip, Summers takes aim at Miss Cambodia for not also speaking English. “Miss Cambodia is here and doesn't speak any English and not a single other person speaks her language. Can you imagine?” she asks, adding: “Francesca said that would be so isolating and I said yes and just confusing all the time.” Summer does come across a little more sympathetic here, but it's a pretty terrible look all around to be SO dumbfounded that non-U.S. citizens don't speak English. In response to the immediate backlash over this video, Summers said on Instagram just now: “In a moment where I intended to admire the courage of a few of my sisters, I said something that I now realize can be perceived as not respectful, and I apologize.” She added that she would be “grateful” for an opportunity to discuss the issue with Miss Cambodia and Miss Vietnam. Check out the controversial video on this page and decide: Was Summers in the wrong?

Cardi B: Is She Really Back With Offset?

No one can really say that they were surprised when Cardi B and Offset broke up  after Offset was caught cheating. Unfortunately, it also wasn’t a shock to hear that Cardi B might get back with Offset . Fortunately, apparently Cardi’s plans to reconcile are nothing but a rumor. It’s really over. The Blast reports that, as far as current plans go, Cardi and Offset are never, ever, ever getting back together. There were other reports, earlier in the week, that said something very different. See, the story went that Cardi and Offset were patching things up by rekindling their romance. A lot of Cardi’s fans were disappointed to see her back with her cheating husband, but they weren’t too surprised. The only good piece of news from it was that Cardi had reportedly gotten him to sign an agreement. It would have penalized him $10 million — which is nearly two-thirds of his net worth — if he cheated on her again. A deal like that isn’t a guarantee, but if Cardi has a bit of what they call a Xanatos Complex, she might want that provision. Either she keeps her husband loyal or she gets $10 million. That’s a pretty nice deal — the kind that might make some people hope for cheating, even. But The Blast reports that there is no deal of the sort in place. And, again, that Cardi and Offset are both still single. Cardi’s fans — and, quite frankly, others — were happy to poke fun at Offset for having an amazing marriage and just ruining it with his penis. Offset lashed out online , insisting that he was genuinely emotional and missed Cardi. He didn’t appreciate people laughing at his expense. Well, Cardi didn’t appreciate him making a fool of her with his cheating antics. Many find it difficult to work up a lot of empathy or even just sympathy for a man who had a good thing going for him and just tossed it out. To quote Michael from The Good Place , “Humans make a lot of mistakes when they’re horny.” On the plus side, maybe fans will never again have to see Cardi and Offset make out on social media. Even though we know that Cardi was fully dressed, it sure looked like Offset was fingering Cardi for all to see. That kind of PDA might be cute when you’re a teenager, but some of Cardi’s fans found it offputting. The thing about being a celebrity is that fans loving you doesn’t mean that they automatically love the man that you love. Many stans insisted that he’s not good enough for Cardi, and even that he was just latching onto her at the start of her rise to mega-fame. When he was exposed as a cheater, those same super-fans felt vindicated. Their suspicions were confirmed. It’s clear that Offset is still crazy about Cardi. It’s more than possible that they will get back together. We’ve seen it happen again and again, whether it’s with friends or celebrities. Some women are very, very forgiving once they cool off. So her fans should brace themselves for that. If Cardi does take him back, maybe she really will set things up with a punitive postnup. View Slideshow: 29 Stars Who Are Known Cheaters
