This has been a big weekend for celebrity sightings at the Wimbledon finals, and there were even more this Sunday afternoon at the All England Club in London. Stars were sitting shoulder to shoulder, including Wicked star Ariana Grande and Spider-Man Andrew Garfield. The men’s singles final featured Novak Djokovic versus Carlos Alcaraz, and both Grande and Garfield were clearly enthralled by the action below even as they seemed to converse with one another in between volleys. Grande is infrequently seen out in public outside of what she chooses to post on Instagram. For the event, she wore a white baseball cap, a three…

Minutes after learning her divorce had been finalized, Kelly Clarkson was in no mood to sing about love. But that’s what she had to do. In a SiriusXM Town Hall segment set to air Friday, the “Because of You” entertainer told Andy Cohen that she was taking part in a Dolly Parton tribute when she got the news that her split was settled. “I’m looking at Dolly Parton,” Clarkson told Cohen, explaining that she “had just gotten my text of, like, ‘Hey, your divorce is final. Like, you’ve both signed.’” Clarkson said she received the news “right before getting on a stage to sing…

Enough is enough! Samuel L. Jackson has had it with these motherf**king snakes harassing Brie Larson online. Jackson recently laid out to Rolling Stone in an interview published Tuesday how he and Larson became close friends before she nabbed the coveted, and sadly controversial, titular role of “Captain Marvel” in the 2019 film. The “Pulp Fiction” star told the magazine that the two bonded over their mutual dislike of filming 2017’s “Kong: Skull Island.” Jackson said Larson even asked him if it was a good idea to join the MCU when she was first offered the role of Captain Marvel — being that he’s been playing the…

The beef between Cardi B and Tasha K was settled. Literally. In court. Cardi B filed and won a libel lawsuit against the YouTube personality for posting videos online in 2018 and 2019 alleging Cardi had worked as a prostitute and contracted STDs. In early 2022, Cardi testified that Tasha’s videos left her feeling suicidal. It was ruled in April 2022 that Tasha K must delete her posts in question, and by that October, a judge additionally ruled that Tasha K pay Cardi B $4 million for defamation (as reported by Billboard at the time). On Wednesday, June 21, Tasha K poked the bear by seemingly weighing in on Cardi B’s reaction…

Priyanka Chopra Jonas’s journey in the limelight began in 2000 when she was crowned Miss World – thanks in part to a nudge from her younger brother, Siddharth Chopra. In a new interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace, the “Citadel” star says that it was her brother who encouraged her to pursue the international pageant because he wanted her out of the house after she came back from a trip to America. “We just had one guest room,” Chopra Jonas told Wallace, adding that their father said at the time, “‘She’s a young woman. She needs her space.’” The “Quantico” star added that her…

On April 28, Grimes gave a keynote speech at the International Music Summit in Ibiza, where she spoke about the future of music and AI. (The theme of the summit was “Face The Future.”) It probably won’t surprise anyone to learn that, unlike Drake and most of the industry establishment, Grimes is pro-AI in music. “I feel strongly that there’s way too much gatekeeping in music,” said Grimes. “Copyright sucks. Art is a conversation with everyone that’s come before us. Intertwining it with the ego is a modern concept. The music industry has been defined by lawyers, and that strangles creativity.” “I think…
