Ariana Grande & Big Sean: Back Together?!

Thank u, back? Ariana Grande shocked us all this week when she was photographed with none other than her ex-boyfriend Big Sean!  A source told E! News that the 7 Rings singer was snapped on Wednesday sitting in the front passenger’s seat with her dog in her lap while the  30-year-old rapper was in the driver’s seat. The two reportedly left a Los Angeles recording studio together, where Sean met up with the Grammy-winner after she had been working there for several hours. It’s still unclear what caused their reunion, but all that matters is that the former couple is clearly on good terms. As fans know,   the two broke up back in April of 2015 following almost nine months of dating. “They both care deeply for each other and remain close friends. We kindly ask that the media respect their wish for privacy regarding this personal matter at this time,” their separation statement read. The reason behind their breakup was blamed on busy schedules. “They made the decision to part ways because their conflicting touring schedules would keep them apart over the next year,” the source said. A second source did reiterate that the two remained friendly.  “Ariana and Big Sean have had a great relationship and they are still very close friends and will remain in each other’s lives,” the insider revealed.  “It hasn’t been easy though with both of their busy schedules lately and they know it’s going to get even harder in the next few months. “This was really difficult for them to publicly call it quits, but they thought it would be better this way, so people know there is no bad blood between them at all,” concluded the source.  Earlier this year, Grande confirmed their friendly breakup when calling out the artist in her girl power themed music video for Thank u, Next.  “Thought I’d end up with Sean, But he wasn’t a match,” she sings in reference to him.  “I had sent [the song] to Sean and he loved it. He loved it,” Grande revealed in an interview on the Zach Sang Show . “It was very funny. He was like, ‘D–n, I’m the first one, huh?’ And I was like, ‘I mean, you know, I went kind of in order.’ He was very supportive, he loved it.” She also made subtle hints at the I Don’t F–k with You rapper in her version of the “burn book” from the movie Mean Girls , writing, “so cute so sweet” on a page dedicated to him. She also added a flirty message, “(could still get it).” And now we are convinced she surely is.  It’s no secret that Ari has had a tough year, (personally definitely not professionally) starting with the shocking loss of her other famous ex-boyfriend and rapper Mac Miller who passed away after an accidental drug overdose . She also broke off an engagement with comedian Pete Davidson due to tension after losing Mac. Like her own lines suggest, “Been through some bad sh-t, I should be a sad bitch, who woulda thought it turn me to a savage?” When she and Davidson split last October, Big Sean also reportedly cut ties from his girlfriend at the time, Jhene Aiko.  So now they’re both single and hanging out alone?! I don’t know about you, but I think Ari and Sean are totally making a comeback.

Khloe Kardashian Attacks Jordyn Woods, Gets DRAGGED on Twitter

Tristan Thompson's latest cheatng scandal appears to have hurt everyone … except for him. Jordyn Woods' life is in tatters, even though the world never really knew what went down — until Friday, March 1. Jordyn sat down with Jada Pinkett Smith on her show, Red Table Talk . There, she broke her silence, explaining at length what had happened and why she is not a homewrecker. Khloe took to Twitter and totally flipped out, accusing Jordyn of outright lying. All Friday afternoon, this conversation dominated the Twitterverse. And the opinions of tweeters have been decidedly one-sided. Take a look: 1. Jordyn Woods and Jada Pinkett Smith Jordyn Woods appeared on Red Table Talk with Jada Pinkett Smith, who has known her for all of her life, to explain what really happened. 2. Khloe flipped her s–t Khloe, who has chosen very indirect ways of talking about Tristan past cheating scandals, blew her gasket on Twitter on Friday after Jordyn broke her silence. It looks like what Khloe can’t control, she seeks to destroy. 3. Twitter isn’t exactly divided Khloe has her fans, to be sure, but the overwhelming voice of Twitter right now is reading her to filth over her response to Jordyn 4. Khloe isn’t making sense All of these incidents of being cheated on by Tristan, but Jordyn comes forward to speak very seriously about what went down … and THAT is when Khloe expresses her outrage. Her standards are bonkers. 5. All of this fuss when it was only a kiss? Jordyn has to be asking herself: how did it end up like this? 6. Jada saved the day The Smith family are Hollywood royalty. They’re the only family in Jordyn’s orbit that can, if they choose, absolutely ignore the Kardashian family View Slideshow

Paris Jackson Breaks Silence on Alleged Mental Health Treatment

Paris Jackson would like everyone to remember an old adage: Don’t believe everything you read. Especially not when it comes to the personal life of someone you’ve never met. Earlier today, we reported what other outlets had written about Michael Jackson’s famous daughter; that she had checked into rehab for assistance with her mental health . This is what an insider told People Magazine on the topic: “After a busy year of work engagements that took her all over the globe, Paris decided that she needed to take some time off to reboot, realign and prioritize her physical and emotional health. “She checked herself into a treatment facility to aid in her wellness plan and is looking forward to coming out of this revitalized and ready to tackle the exciting new projects that await her.” According to Paris herself, however, only the first part of this statement is accurate. Along with a photo of herself and her dog on Instagram, Jackson updated followers on her status this afternoon. She acknowledges that things haven’t been going so well of late — but seems to shoot down talk that she is seeing anyone professional about it. “The media is exaggerating per usual,” Jackson wrote online, adding in more detail: “yes i’ve taken a break from work and social media and my phone because it can be too much sometimes, and everyone deserves a break, but i am happy and healthy and feeling better than ever!” Jackson then delved into her musical career and concluded: “gabriel and i have some new music we’re stoked to share with y’all! (@thesoundflowers) hope you guys’ new year started out with lots of love and light and all the things. “i’ll be back soon!!” In recent years, Jackson has been open about struggling with anxiety and depression, while also dealing with the trauma from a sexual assault in her teenage years. Just a couple months ago, we heard that family members were worried Jackson would overdose . A source who spoke to The New York Post, meanwhile, says that the 20-year-old had received an evaluation but returned home shortly afterward. It’s unclear when this evaluation took place. But the insider did add that Jackson was just “tired” and “exhausted” from her busy schedule the past several months. In a 2017 Rolling Stone article, the young star admitted she has attempted suicide several times. “I was going through a lot of, like teen angst. And I was also dealing with my depression and my anxiety without any help,” she told the magazine, saying she tried to kill herself in June of 2013 attempt at age 15, adding: “It was just self-hatred … Low self-esteem, thinking that I couldn’t do anything right, not thinking I was worthy of living anymore.” We really hope Jackson is doing better these days. The heartbreaking video she shared in June of 2017 remains with us to this day. Watch it here to see why: Paris Jackson SLAMS Haters

Vinny Guadagnino Breaks Silence on Jenni Farley, Ronnie Magro Drama

When the world first learned that Jersey Shore would be returning to MTV , there were concerns that with the cast approaching middle-age, there wouldn’t be enough drama in their lives to sustain an entire season of television. Instead, the opposite has proven true, and it’s turned out that there’s more chaos and insanity in the guidos’ lives than could ever be contained in a single reality show. First, the relationship between Ronnie Ortiz-Magro and Jen Harley caused quite a stir on numerous occasions. Many assumed that the situation had come to a head when Jen dragged Ronnie with her car  back in June of 2018, but amazingly, these two are still trying to make their relationship work. The same can’t be said of Jenni Farley and Roger Mathews. Jenni filed for divorce from Roger back in September but the situation has only gotten uglier in the months since. Mathews has begged Jenni to take him back in public and increasingly aggressive ways. Last month, Farley filed for a restraining order against her ex after an altercation at their home became violent. Like we said, there’s been no shortage of drama for the Seaside Six these days. And we haven’t even mentioned Mike Sorrentino’s prison sentence , which is scheduled to begin next week. But through it all, Vinny Guadagnino has mostly managed to keep his nose clean and his diet keto. “I just want him to know I am here for him,” the 30-year-old shares. “We are here for him as a safety net.”  As for Farley, Vinny says he’s unconcerned about her emotional state, as he’s never met someone who’s cooler under pressure. “She’s like the exact example to follow when you have to go through something like that publicly, because she’s not impulsive; she doesn’t react on emotions, she’s like smart,” Guadagnino claims. Vinny says Jenni’s level-headed demeanor is mostly a result of the fact that she “wants the best for her children.”  As for his own transition into adulthood, Vinny says his priorities have changed considerably since he turned 30 last year. While Vinny acknowledges his decade or so of hard-partying and promiscuity — saying he “had to go through that phase” — he claims those days are far behind him. These days, Vinny says his primary goals are to “get more sleep and just add on to my new healthy lifestyle.” We’re sure he’d also like to keep the Jersey Shore revival gravy train rolling. Of course, that might have to wait until The Sitch is finished serving his time. The drama never stops with this bunch! We suppose it’s a gift and a curse, as very few reality casts have kept the audience engaged for this long. View Slideshow: Jersey Shore Cast: Where Are They Now?

Rose McGowan Blasts Ben Affleck: You LIE About Harvey Weinstein!

Following a few days of silence, Ben Affleck spoke out on Tuesday about Harvey Weinstein. The actor, who has worked many times in the past with the disgraced film producer, took to Facebook and wrote the following: I am saddened and angry that a man who I worked with used his position of power to intimidate, sexually harass and manipulate many women over decades. The additional allegations of assault that I read this morning made me sick. This is completely unacceptable, and I find myself asking what I can do to make sure this doesn’t happen to others. We need to do better at protecting our sisters, friends, co-workers and daughters. We must support those who come forward, condemn this type of behavior when we see it and help ensure there are more women in positions of power. Many had been waiting to hear from Affleck (and Matt Damon) after Weinstein played a major role in their careers by producing Good Will Hunting. Late last week, however, a bombshell report revealed that Weinstein has paid off eight women over the years in exchange for their silence regarding his alleged sexual misconduct. Then, a follow-up report claimed Weinstein has actually raped multiple young actresses and associates. He’s been fired from his company and his wife just announced she’s leaving him. The reverberations extend far beyond just Weinstein, however, as his behavior with women has been an open secret in Hollywood for decades. Who’s been helping him keep his horrible actions quiet? How deep does the cover-up go? We may find out more each day, but Rose McGowan has been one of the few people leading the charge against Weinstein from the beginning. She’s been outspoken on social media about his reputation and his inexcusable treatment of women… and now she’s here to call out Affleck. Shortly after Affleck issued the statement above, McGowan responded on Twitter. She flat out called Affleck a liar because she said she had a conversation with him many years ago in which she explained how Weinstein had sexually harassed her. Affleck’s supposed response? “Goddamnit! I told him to stop doing that.” The actress says this interaction took place while she and Affleck were at a press conference in promotion of a movie they did together, one she was “made” to attend even after an “assault” at the hands of Weinstein. McGowan concluded her Tweet in simple, straightforward fashion, by addressing Affleck with two damning words: You lie. Previously, McGowan called for all members of The Weinstein Company board to resign due to their silence over Weinstein’s treatment of women over the years. She’s doing all she can to lead this fight and to expose the rampant sexism in Hollywood. This is also known as doing the opposite of what Donna Karan is doing , as the fashion designer stepped into scalding hot water this week for suggesting Weinstein’s victims were to blame due to how they acted and dressed. Will Affleck response to McGowan’s harsh assertion? Will he have anything else to say on this controversial topic? And what disturbing piece of information will we learn next about Harvey Weinstein and/or those who know him well?

21 Hottest Bachelors in ABC’s History: Who’s #1?!

With  Arie Luyendyk Jr. confirmed as the Bachelor  and ready to capture the hearts of the Bachelor Nation, it's time again to talk about this: Which Bachelor is the hottest Bachelor of all time!? After all, even if ABC does scour the Earth for eligible gentlemen who are the total package … not all hunks are created equal. Arie Jr. will be the leading man on  The Bachelor 's 22nd season on ABC, making him the show's 21st Bachelor. (Brad Womack famously got two bites at the apple … and yet didn't get a happily ever after either time). Obviously, not everyone in the Bachelor Nation is totally agreed on who's hot and who's not, since aesthetics are subjective. But honestly, isn't that what makes a debate fun? Take a look at the ghosts of Bachelors past and see for yourself who's the hottest of the hot and where you think Arie should rank. (Whether or not a guy who  dumped his real life girlfriend for the role  just two days being cast is a good choice notwithstanding.) 21. Lorenzo Borghese If there were a Bachelor, and season of The Bachelor, that left less than a memorable impression, it might have to be Lorenzo Borghese. He is eminently forgettable. But he’s not exactly hard to look upon. 20. Andrew Firestone Is Andrew Firestone a contender for Hottest Bachelor Ever? 19. Bob Guiney Bachelor Bob Guiney starred in Season 4 of the ABC hit. No, seriously, he did. 18. Charlie O’Connell Not to be confused with his brother Jerry O’Connell, who’s starred on things like Sliders, Scream 2, and Crossing Jordan. 17. Byron Velvick The bass-fishing Byron Velvick had the outdoorsy thing going for him in Season 7, that’s for sure. 16. Travis Stork Travis Stork isn’t just a hunk and a gentleman. He is a doctor, people. View Slideshow

Joy-Anna Duggar Shares Pregnancy Update, Anti-Abortion Views on Instagram

If you’re a fan of her family’s, then by now, you’ve likely heard the news that Joy-Anna Duggar is pregnant with her first child . The announcement came as a shock to many, as Joy-Anna is just 19 years old, and it appears as though she may have gotten pregnant before her wedding to Austin Forsyth , despite her family’s strict ban on premarital sex. But regardless of the controversy surrounding her pregnancy, Joy-Anna is clearly ecstatic, and she’s been sharing her joy with fans on social media: Joy-Anna posted the above photo earlier today, along with the following caption: “Can’t wait to meet our baby!! I got to feel it kick for the first time a few days ago!!! Soooooo amazing!!! It’s already about the size of a bell pepper and weighs around half a pound!!! #childrenareagiftfromGod #westandforlife” Yes, as you might have guessed from those hashtags, Joy-Anna is about to get political on you. Given that procreation and strict fundamentalist religious beliefs are the things they’re best known for, it should come as no surprise that the Duggars are staunchly anti-abortion. In case her hashtags failed to make that clear, Joy-Anna also shared this photo of her husband holding a sign by the side of the road for some reason. Following the Josh Duggar sex scandals , there was a brief period of time when the Duggars mostly steered clear of politics. Perhaps it was the fear that their constant moralizing would make them seem hypocritical in the wake of the revelation that they’d knowingly harbored a sexual predator. (And of course, they were right on that score.) But now it looks as though the Duggars are laboring under the delusion that Josh’s crimes have faded from the public’s memory to the point that they can once again begin flaunting their supposed moral superiority. Sources close to the family believe Joy-Anna is planning a career in politics , but she’s not the only one who’s speaking out on controversial political issues. Just last month, Jill Duggar’s husband, Derick Dillard, attacked Jazz Jennings on Twitter, berating the transgender teen, who, like the Duggars, stars in a reality series on TLC. Clearly, the family has been emboldened by the forgiveness of many of their more cultishly devoted fans, and it’s even been rumored that Josh Duggar will soon return to television , despite frequent promises to the contrary. Whatever the case, it seems the Duggars are on the verge of reclaiming what they feel is lost territory.  And it’ll be interesting to see if the public allows it. Watch Counting On online for more from reality TV’s most controversial family. View Slideshow: Joy-Anna Duggar Pregnancy Raises One Huge Question

Crystal Hefner Breaks Silence, Addresses Husband’s Death

In the wake of Hugh Hefner’s death, nearly everyone that was close to the Playboy founder issued some kind of sorrowful statement. Nearly everyone except the woman married to him, that is. But Crystal Hefner has now broken her silence, two days after her famous husband was laid to rest in an intimate funeral attended by close friends and loved ones. “I haven’t been able to bring myself to write most people back to thank them for their condolences,” Crystal told E! News in a statement, adding simply and sadly: “I am heartbroken. I am still in disbelief.” Hefner passed away at the age of 91 last Wednesday. There had been rumors for several months that the publishing legend was ill, as he had not made any public appearances or posed for any pictures in quite awhile. Hefner was buried over the weekend alongside Marilyn Monroe, an honor for which he paid $75,000 back in 1992. “He is in the place he was always certain he wanted to spend eternity,” says Crystal. Only 31 years old, Crystal has always been aware that critics believed she married Hefner purely for his money and lifestyle. But she didn’t even bother to address those allegations in her chat with E! News. She stopped trying to convince those haters a long time ago. “He was an American hero. A pioneer. A kind and humble soul who opened up his life and home to the world,” she says, continuing as follows: “I felt how much he loved me. I loved him so much. I am so grateful. He gave me life. “He gave me direction. He taught me kindness. I will feel eternally grateful to have been by his side, holding his hand, and telling him how much I love him.” Concludes the widow: “He changed my life, he saved my life. He made me feel loved every single day. He was a beacon to the world, a force unlike anything else. “There never has and never will be another Hugh M. Hefner.” On that , everyone can likely agree. Those who attended Hefner’s funeral included Natalie Wood, Florence Henderson, Truman Capote, Eve Arden, Don Knotts, Walter Matthau, Carroll O’Connor and Roy Oribison. The publisher’s four kids were there, too, of course. “I join the world in mourning,” Crystal tells E! News. “I thank you for all of your condolences. To the people leaving sentiments at the front gate, we see you and grieve with you.” Hef’s last will and testament have yet not been made public. However, according to reports, his fortune, worth between $43 million and $110 million, is expected to go to his family and charities. There’s been talk t hat he left nothing for his wife .

White Skittles Hit the Market, Internet Flips the Eff Out

For the second year in a row, Skittles has made a gesture in support of the LGBT community. With June widely considered Pride Month, the candy has gone all-white in various markets because, as the company behind Skittles explains, “during Pride, only one rainbow matters. So we’ve given up ours to show support.” The Skittles taste the same, it's worth noting. The typical colors associated with this beloved candy are simply the result of dye, not flavor of any kind. But try telling that to the Internet! As you might expect, a variety of users are responding in a variety of ways to this news. And not every reaction is positive… 1. These are White Skittles Yes, they look unusual. But remember the basis for the temporary change? It’s an admirable cause. 2. The Affiliated Message These white Skittlers are display in the U.K.’s Tesco stores, with a note that profits will be sent to charities that support LGBT+. 3. The Reactions Commence Okay, fair: the packaging could use some work. 4. No Way! The Package is Great! Fine. Sorry. Calm down. 5. Even More Praise Hey, maybe the Internet isn’t so mean after all! 6. Then Again… Wait, what?!? This is a race thing now? View Slideshow

Corinne Olympios Breaks Silence on Bachelor in Paradise Scandal: I Am a Victim!

There’s still so much that we don’t know, with statements and rumors that seem to be in conflict, and dumb guys saying dumber things instead of telling us what happened. And now, Corinne Olympios, the woman at the center of the controversial and mysterious scandal that got production suspended on Bachelor in Paradise , has finally broken her silence. Speaking to TMZ , the one-time “Bachelor Villain” struck a much more serious tone than usual as she discussed the controversy . “I am a victim and have spent the last week trying to make sense of what happened on June 4.” “Although I have little memory of that night, something bad obviously took place, which I understand is why production on the show has now been suspended and a producer on the show has filed a complaint against the production.” That’s all very … carefully worded and nuanced and exactly what she should be saying, considering the circumstances and the many, many potential legal complications. But then she gets about as real as she can about what happened. “As a woman, this is my worst nightmare and it has now become my reality.”  That’s the grim truth. There’s a lot that makes this case complex, from questions of who’s culpable for what to questions about exactly what happened. Unfortunately, it sounds like Corinne is nearly as in the dark as the rest of us. “As I pursue the details and facts surrounding that night and the immediate days after, I have retained a group of professionals to ensure that what happened on June 4 comes to light and I can continue my life, including hiring an attorney to obtain justice and seeking therapy to begin dealing with the physical and emotional trauma stemming from that evening.” That is … horrifying. Any situation that looks like a sexual assault is going to be dreadful beyond words, but there’s a unique horror to having to piece together events after the fact along with the rest of the world. Corinne is not the first member of the Bachelor in Paradise cast to speak out , but, as she herself said, she’s the victim . We care a lot more about what she has to say about things than we do about a bystander. To be clear, it looks like DeMario Jackson was nearly as much of a victim in this.  He’s already stated that the tapes will vindicate him , and Corinne hasn’t been pointing the finger at him, either. Quite frankly, if they were both drinking all day, and if he was really too drunk to even get an erection, then it looks like the story’s pointing the finger at producers and crew. Not all of them, obviously, but probably at anyone who let it happen and definitely at anyone who might have deliberately caused the situation. Maybe we’ll find out. Ugh, we can already see this becoming a ripped-from-the-headlines episode of Law & Order: SVU , but with a twist, because they love their twists, even when it makes the story completely different from the real headlines. And yes, right now, it’s Warner Bros that’s carrying out the investigation, which is a little odd. They’re probably looking for liability issues and at who needs to get fired. But it sounds like a police investigation is almost inevitable. We’d fully expect Warner Bros to hand over names and evidence to police, even if just to prove that they’re cooperating fully. Maybe, once their investigation makes more headway, we’ll all know more. Corinne Olympios, at least, deserves to know the full story of what happened to her.
