    Jennifer Lopez Said Her First Two Marriages Don’t Count – Jennifer Lopez Alex Rodriguez Wedding Details

    Jennifer Lopez is known for her impressive singing, acting, and dancing career and her ability to work a giant hat like it’s nobody’s business, but it’s no secret that everyone is also super interested in her love life. Over the course of her career, she’s dated Ben Affleck, Diddy, and her backup dancer Casper Smart, and she’s also been married three times. In the new mini documentary following her on the It’s My Party Tour: Showtime!, Jennifer opened up about her love life and savagely said her first two marriages don’t even count. Please join me in stanning this legend!

    So after she told someone that she and her fiancé Alex Rodriguez are getting married next year in what’s likely to be a big church wedding, she explained why she got married three times before. (For those who don’t remember when Jennifer got married the first two times, she married a waiter in 1997 and a dancer in 2001.)

    She said, “I’ve been married three times, and once was nine months and once was 11 months, so I don’t really count those. But I was married to Marc [Anthony] for 10 years, with the kids. I was very young the first two times I tried to get married.”

    She also admitted that she tends to want someone around all the time. She explained, “It seems like in this life you’re always surrounded by people, you’re never lonely—but it’s very lonely. So you always want somebody with you.” She went on to say, “And I felt like if I got married, I felt like I would always have somebody, but that’s not how life works.” Ultimately, she acknowledged that getting married simply for the company was “a bad reason to get married.” Ya live and ya learn!

    Luckily, she doesn’t have to worry about that with A-Rod because she said she’s getting married to someone who makes her a better person.

    Ugh, it’s not even the wedding yet and I’m already cryin’!!

  • Johnny Depp Signs With Global Artist Management, Nothing Matters | The Mary Sue

    Johnny Depp Signs With Global Artist Management, Nothing Matters | The Mary Sue

    Talking about Johnny Depp is a complicated game. He’s currently going through lawsuits against his ex-wife, Amber Heard, for defamation over her account of alleged assault. While we don’t know the truth of the case or really what is going on with it, one thing that is frustrating is Depp’s continual presence on our screens. Now, he’s signed with Global Artist Management to make sure he’s everywhere else in our entertainment world, too, as they’ll handle the non-film parts of his career.

    He continues to work and hasn’t stopped since these allegations have come out against him, and he’s even had some disappointing high-profile defenders. We’ve continually seen Depp in movie after movie, and now his band, Hollywood Vampires, has a new record coming out, which honestly just feels like too much.

    According to Deadline,

    Hollywood Vampires is releasing their second album Rise on June 21st which features Depp on lead vocals on the recently released single “Heroes”, a cover the David Bowie track. The band recently completed a triumphant seven-city North American tour which included a sell-out show at the famous Greek Theatre in Los Angeles and were voted “best performance” of 2018 at London’s Wembley Arena. Depp is embarking on a PR tour with the Hollywood Vampires and will be performing “Heroes” with the band on Jimmy Kimmel Live on June 19.

    The back-and-forth of Depp and Heard’s legal battles has been confusing at times, but what I truly don’t understand is why there seems to be an influx of Johnny Depp content since all of this has come out. It’s as if Hollywood (and now the music industry) is giving him more and more support despite the allegations against him.

    Sure, I guess innocent until proven guilty, but I’d think there would be a bit more trepidation surrounding jumping on board with Johnny Depp.

  • Robin Williams’ Eldest Son Names First Child After His Dad

    Robin Williams’ Eldest Son Names First Child After His Dad

    Robin Williams eldest son, Zak Williams, welcomed his first child with fiancée Olivia June, on May 22, 2019. As a tribute to his late father, the baby boy is named after the Hollywood icon. The 36-year-old and Olivia named their son McLaurin Clement Williams, as McLaurin was the actor’s middle name. The couple plans to call him Mickey for short.

    The newborn was photographed with his parent by Zak’s half-sister, Zelda Williams, weighing 8 pounds and measures 20-and-a-half-inches. Williams died by suicide in 2014, at the age of 63 and shared Zak with his first wife Valeria Velardi. He then welcomed their daughter Zelda, 29 and Cody, 27 with his second wife, Marsha Garces.

    Through an Instagram post, Zelda gushed about the newborn, reading, “Meet Mclaurin Clement Williams, aka Mickey, aka Dr. Baby! He’s a squishably cute pterodactyl cooing tiny wonder and I love him so much already,” Zelda wrote. “Big shoutout to Mickey on being the fastest swimmer, and huge congrats to @heyoliviajune and my big bro @zakpym on creating this little joy (and poop) factory!”

    Zack is a mental health advocate, as well as his fiancée, and founder of a tech startup company. In a biography about his father, named Robin, Zak recalled his father, saying he kicked himself multiple times for not visiting Williams during that time. He stated, “Because I think that was a very lonely period for him. In retrospect, I feel like I should have been there, spending time with him. Because someone who needs support was not getting the support he needed.”

    The Oscar-winning actor’s death in 2014 was a shock to the world after he had checked himself back into rehab in a bid to stay sober. The actor was battling depression and early stages of Parkinson’s disease. He was 63-years-old at the time of his death.

  • White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to leave

    White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders to leave

    Announcing her departure on Twitter, President Donald Trump said Sanders will return to her home state of Arkansas and floated the possibility of a gubernatorial run for the White House press secretary.

    “After 3 1/2 years, our wonderful Sarah Huckabee Sanders will be leaving the White House at the end of the month and going home to the Great State of Arkansas,” Trump said. “She is a very special person with extraordinary talents, who has done an incredible job! I hope she decides to run for Governor of Arkansas – she would be fantastic. Sarah, thank you for a job well done!”

    In private conversations in recent weeks, Sanders has floated running for governor in her home state of Arkansas, according to two people familiar with the talks. Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson was re-elected just last year, so unless he steps down early — or is appointed to something — the governor’s office in Little Rock isn’t open until January 2023.

    She has told colleagues and friends that she thinks running for office would be a good next move for her, instead of taking a television job upon her departure.

  • Twitter Restricts Project Veritas for Exposé of Pinterest Blacklists

    Twitter Restricts Project Veritas for Exposé of Pinterest Blacklists

    Social media platform Twitter has reportedly temporarily suspended the account of investigative journalism group Project Veritas following its publication of internal documents from Silicon Valley company Pinterest.

    According to journalist James O’Keefe, Twitter has limited the account of the investigative journalism group Project Veritas following the group’s publication of internal communications from Pinterest. O’Keefe wrote in a tweet that Project Veritas “has been temporarily suspended from posting for tweeting internal communications from @Pinterest which show them calling @benshapiro a ‘white supremacist’.” The tweet can be seen below along with a photo of a warning

    A person familiar with the situation told Breitbart News that the Project Veritas account was locked for violating the Twitter Rules, specifically the private information policy , but clarified that Project Veritas was not locked out due to the content of their communications.

    Still, it would seem that the most likely violation of Twitter’s privacy policy was the publication of the Pinterest communications. Twitter’s private information policy states:

    You may not publish or post other people’s private information without their express authorization and permission. We also prohibit threatening to expose private information or incentivizing others to do so.

    It would seem that Twitter considers the internal communications of Pinterest staff to fall under this guideline, which is otherwise aimed at preventing “doxing,” or exposing the private details of an individual. But, in that case, it appears that many journalists may be at risk of suspension for publishing newsworthy private information. Project Veritas has previously published a large amount of content about Twitter that could be viewed as private information, including undercover recordings of private conversations. Breitbart News reported on this work by Project Veritas here.

    According to the internal Pinterest communications published by Project Veritas, the tech firm labeled conservative commentator Ben Shapiro as a “white supremacist.” This information comes from a private Slack channel used by Pinterest for work purposes; O’Keefe reportedly asked the Pinterest insider who provided him with the info if the policymaker’s at Pinterest discussing Shapiro had simply been expressing their opinion, but the insider stated that “this was actually in a war room where policymakers were making decisions about content.”

  • Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga Reportedly Have a Huge Connection

    Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga Reportedly Have a Huge Connection

    Bradley Cooper and Irina Shayk are 100 percent over, and while she’s over here winning at Instagram with her totally unbothered waterfall pictures, Bradley is reportedly mulling over his friendship with Lady Gaga.

    As you very well know, Gaga and B. Coop acted and sang and smashed a lot of things (mirrors and pills. Eek!) together in a ~film~ called A Star Is Born. They had insane chemistry onscreen and even off when they performed “Shallow” during one of Gaga’s Vegas shows and during the Oscars, and their friendship and professional relationship had everyone speculating that they may have actually been in love the whole time. Gaga previously denied all those rumors, but according to some new People sources, there may be more to the story.

    First off, People reported that the movie had a huge effect on Bradley and Irina, who preferred her formerly “quiet” life. Their source said, “The rumors about Bradley and Gaga having a love affair didn’t help especially with his constant travels [promoting the film].”

    Then the source added this bombshell, which is specifically about Bradley and Gaga’s relationship, which will make your jaw drop: “He has a huge and overwhelming connection to Gaga but whether it becomes a real love story in their lives for all the world to see is premature, and it’s difficult to speculate at this sensitive time.”

    The world’s reaction in a series of GIFs:

    Some possibilities on what this might mean: 1) People may have been right about their chemistry all along. 2) There may be a possibility for some “love story,” as the source put it. 3) There could (emphasis on could) be a chance that this situationship never becomes public or “for all the world to see.”

    If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be analyzing everyone’s body language to see if there are any hints that this is true until I hear otherwise!

  • Denzel Washington Praises Wife Pauletta For Being His ‘Biggest Life Achievement’

    Denzel Washington Praises Wife Pauletta For Being His ‘Biggest Life Achievement’

    Denzel Washington was the guest of honor at the 47th AFI Life Achievement Award gala tribute in Hollywood Thursday night.

    The Oscar-winning actor and his wife of 35 years,Pauletta Washington, hit the red carpet at the star-studded event held at the Dolby Theater, where Entertainment Tonight asked Denzel what he considers his biggest lifetime achievement.

    Washington turned to his devoted wife and said she’s his “biggest lifetime achievement.”

    The actor also opened up about being honored by the American Film Institute, and support from the stars who came out to help celebrate his career and legacy.

    “I’m humbled, I’m grateful, I’m thankful… I’ve never done this before so I can’t really tell you how I feel,” he admitted. “It doesn’t feel like other times I’m on the red carpet. I’m usually promoting a film or at an award show. [Here] I’ve already won, I guess, so it’s different. It’s relaxed.”

    The gala included appearances and speeches from Spike Lee, director Antoine Fuqua, Chadwick Boseman, Jennifer Hudson, Mahershala Ali, Michael B. Jordan, Cicely Tyson and Julia Roberts, to name just a few.

    Boseman called Washington the G.O.A.T. (greatest of all time).

    “There is no Black Panther without Denzel Washington,” he said. “Not just because of me, but my whole cast, that generation stands on your shoulders.”

    The biggest surprise of the evening was Beyonce, who came out to present honoree Melina Matsoukas with the Franklin J. Schaffner Award — see the Twitter video embed above. Matsoukas has directed some of the singer’s biggest music videos.

  • A fake video of Mark Zuckerberg giving a sinister speech about the power of Facebook has been posted to Instagram. The company previously said it would not remove this type of video.

    A fake video of Mark Zuckerberg giving a sinister speech about the power of Facebook has been posted to Instagram. The company previously said it would not remove this type of video.

    Two artists and an advertising company created a deepfake of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg saying things he never said, and uploaded it to Instagram. The video, created by artists Bill Posters and Daniel Howe in partnership with advertising company Canny, shows Mark Zuckerberg sitting at a desk, seemingly giving a sinister speech about Facebook’s power. The video is framed with broadcast chyrons that say “We’re increasing transparency on ads,” to make it look like it’s part of a news segment.

    “Imagine this for a second: One man, with total control of billions of people’s stolen data, all their secrets, their lives, their futures,” Zuckerberg’s likeness says, in the video. “I owe it all to Spectre. Spectre showed me that whoever controls the data, controls the future.” The original, real video is from a September 2017 address Zuckerberg gave about Russian election interference on Facebook. The caption of the Instagram post says it’s created using CannyAI’s video dialogue replacement (VDR) technology. This deepfake of Zuckerberg is one of several made by Canny in collaboration with Posters, including ones of Kim Kardashian and Donald Trump, as part of Spectre, an exhibition that took place as part of the Sheffield Doc Fest in the UK.
