Usher?s Las Vegas residency at the MGM is the latest Vegas success story. I keep hearing that his show is incredible and he?s got A-listers making the trek to Las Vegas just to sit front-row at his shows. To promote the residency (and he just likes to chat), Usher spoke to The Cut about party rules, drinking and vacations. Some highlights:
His dinner-party rules: ?Don?t come empty handed. If you come to a dinner party, I think it?s appropriate to bring something. Napkins, a bottle of Rmy. Not everybody likes your potato salad, so don?t bring that. But bring something. I think that?s just a natural thing of etiquette, something to just say, ?Hey, let?s celebrate together, and I brought this in honor for this moment that we have together.?
His pre-show rituals: ?I warm up, I work out, try to eat light, and we say a prayer and go. When I say we, I mean my entire cast, not just core dancers, but the entire staff. We meet backstage right before we go onstage and say a prayer, making sure everybody?s safe while we are here to put good energy in the room. It?s helpful, I?ve been doing it for years; it gives people that feeling that it?s like family.?
His No. 1 rule for a night out drinking: ?Before, it?s a sip. Afterward, it?s a gulp.?
Party rules: ?Don?t let friends drink alone. That one gets you in trouble every time, but we drink together and in that moment we just have a little fun.?
He loves to skate: ?It ain?t about how many times you fall, it?s about how quick you get back up. And also what you learned from the fall. Skating is like a metaphor for life. Skating helps you stay young; it takes you back to your childhood, when you had less cares in the world. I think we spend so much time on our phones, it?s a bit hard to just release, relax, and let go of that device. You?re kind of forced to disconnect from that and just reconnect with yourself.
His rule for tailoring suits: ?I got to have a gusset in the pants because I need to move. I build out every suit to accommodate my dancing, not just the look of it. I want you to feel me, but I ain?t really trying to have you feel me, feel me. That?s one golden rule.
[From The Cut]
I agree that it?s simply good etiquette to bring something to a dinner party. I disagree that you shouldn?t try to do something homemade though! It depends on whether or not you can cook and whether or not your potato salad is any good. But if you don?t want to risk it, yes, just bring napkins or a bottle of wine or a gift for the host/hostess. My tip: make a batch of brownies (real brownies, not pot brownies) and put them in a nice tin. Maybe people will eat the brownies at the dinner party, or maybe they?re just for the host. As for the drinking rules? I?m the same age as Usher and I have no idea how he can still drink before and after his shows and still work like that AND party like that. My ass would need to dry out and go to bed.

Carrie Ann Inaba was on The Jennifer Hudson Show this week, presumably plugging Dancing With The Stars which is currently airing its Season 827, after an inauspicious start. Keeping with the dance theme, Carrie fondly spoke about being a backup dancer in her twenties for Madonna ? who began her Celebration Tour in London this month after recovering from an emergency stay in the ICU this summer. No surprise, Madge ran a tight ship. Case in point: she deducted $100 from your paycheck for every minute you were late.
?Dancing With the Stars? judge Carrie Ann Inaba reflected on her career on ?The Jennifer Hudson Show? Monday and spoke about being hired as a backup dancer for one of Madonna?s tours when she was just 23 years old.
And although Inaba had pretty positive things to say about her experience working with the ?Vogue? singer, she did say that Madonna had one outrageous rule that would make many want to express themselves to the HR department.
?Back in the day she was very strict,? Inaba said. ?She gave us this one rule ? which I?m so grateful she did. It was, for every minute you?re late, you have to pay her $100 out of your paycheck.?
?I ain?t going to lie, I?d be broke,? Hudson said exasperated. ?Cause I?m always late.?
Inaba then shared how following that costly rule affected her the rest of her life ? and she doesn?t sound traumatized at all.
?I?m never late,? Inaba said. ?I?m always early, in fact so much so, that I waste half my day ? showing up too early.?
Despite the rule, Inaba told Hudson that it was a dream come true to work for Madonna.
?There was like Michael [Jackson], Prince, and Madonna at the time. Right?? Inaba said. ?I got on Madonna?s tour, and I was like, ?That?s all I need!??
In fact, after Inaba was done with the tour, she said she ?retired? from dancing and went back to school.
?As a dancer, you?re kind of put out to pasture when you?re 25,? Inaba said.
Madonna is currently embarked on her Celebration Tour, so fingers crossed that her current and likely very young backup dancers have plenty of emergency funds in their savings account.
[From HuffPost]
I?d like to start my commentary by commending the author for the line, ?Madonna had one outrageous rule that would make many want to express themselves to the HR department.? The lyric inclusion is so unsmooth that it swings back to being fabulous, non? Love it. While $100/minute is a bit excessive, especially considering this tour was a couple decades ago, I don?t think this overall vibe is actually all that outrageous in the performing arts arena. At the Atlantic Theater Company ? the group David Mamet and William H. Macy founded ? they lock you out if you aren?t there 15 minutes ahead of class or rehearsal. Are these methods harsh? For sure. But Carrie sure sounds genuinely grateful for the standard it set to show up on time. On the other hand, she did retire from dancing right after that tour with Madge, so take from it what you will! I went back to the original interview cause I was dying to find out how much money Carrie had to fork over, but she was cheeky and only said ?I learned quickly.? Oh cmon, Carrie, dont be a tease. Tell us!

| | Tara Reid shuts down eating disorder speculation: pick on me for something else | | Added 218 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Tara Reid is one of those actresses who tabloids and mean girls have always considered to be fair game. I know she has her demons, but as Britney has reminded us, tabloid culture in the late 1990s/early 2000s was absolutely brutal and a complete double-standard. Over the years, Tara has been scrutinized for her social life, looks, and interviews she?s given while seemingly not-fully sober. She?s not perfect, and she?s had bad public moments (likely a result of her substance abuse issues), but she doesn?t seem like a bad person. One of the most frequent things that Tara gets criticized for is her weight. Over the years, Tara has received unwanted comments about her weight, and periodically, she gives an interview to clap back at the noise. Following her recent appearance on season two of Special Forces: World?s Toughest Test, Tara has faced another round of what she considers to be skinny-shaming and concern-trolling. Once again, Tara is trying to set the record straight.
The Days of Our Lives alum, 47, recently spoke to the Los Angeles Inquisitor and opened up about the constant criticism she receives about her weight.
?If we were overweight then they can?t say anything because that?s bullying. But it?s the same thing if you?re skinny. That?s still bullying too,? [Reid] said.
Reid said her body has been a topic of discussion since the early 2000s when her career kicked off. However, she?s received more criticism lately after appearing in season 2 of Special Forces: World?s Toughest Test. Now she?s hoping to shut down the speculation that she?s suffered from eating disorders once and for all.
?I have no anorexia and never have,? she clarified. ?And I definitely don?t have any bulimia. I?m terrified of throwing up, so that?s not gonna happen. And I love food too much. So anyone that says I?m anorexic or bulimic, they?re wrong. So stop it. Leave me alone. Pick on me again on something else, but not on those two things. It?s not right.?
The American Pie star has previously slammed some of the body-shaming she?s gotten over the years. Back in 2021, Reid took to Instagram to shut down the hate she received after posting a photo of herself in a bikini.
?I am not too skinny, I have a high metabolism,? she told her followers. ?Anyone with a high metabolism understands it?s impossible to gain weight. All I do is eat. To everyone who wrote something nice and stuck up for me, I love you! And keep spreading that love, it is the only thing that will save this world.?
The actress later told PageSix that she was ?doing well? despite the constant scrutiny.
?I?ve always been thin,? Reid said at the time. ?So these stories are kind of crazy because it?s like there?s nothing that has changed for forever. This is who I am, this is what I am, this is what I?m [aspiring] to be.
Reid explained that hopefully her self-love and acceptance will ?change the minds of bullies.? However, if not, then she?s ?OK with that.?
?I?ve gone through it for so many years that, you know, sometimes I feel bad for them because if they?re that miserable writing things at home, what are they doing?? she said. ?That?s negative. You know, it?s hurtful.?
?Love will always beat hate,? Reid added. ?It?s just so hard to find love because you?ve got to find it in yourself first.?
[From People]
Honestly, I feel for Tara, because I think she is one of those people who just cannot beat her demons. I get what she?s saying about commenting on weight being a double-standard. Even if she were too thin as the result of disordered eating or drug use, there?s a difference between trying to shame someone publicly for being ?too thin? and sitting them down in private to find out if they are okay. Tara infamously had an unfortunate boob job and some pretty bad liposuction done back in 2004 because even though she knew she was skinny, she ?wanted a six pack.? She suffered through years of ridicule and was asked about it so many times in subsequent interviews that it couldn?t have been good for her mental health. Honestly, for all of her talk about self-love, something in her words worries me that she still isn?t quite there yet. I hope this is just a case of, ?You cant tell tone over text,? though, and that she really is finally doing better. Also, I just went back and relistened to that wild exchange she had with Jenny McCarthy several years ago, and her bitchy quip, ?I hope your tits get even nicer, because they?re amazing. The same guy who did mine, right?? is giving me life right now.

| | Dolly Parton explains why she's worn wigs for decades | | Added 220 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Remember when years back Kylie Jenner said that she had invented wigs? That drove me nuts. It was in 2016 and its still something my subconscious associates with Kylie. We all know that Kylie is not a wig OG, but Dolly Parton definitely is. Huge beauty pageant style hair has always been a part of her look, and shes been wearing wigs for decades. She shared her six fashion rules with Vogue to promote her new book Behind the Seams, which include wearing high heels, avoiding trends, and embracing wigs. Dolly started wearing wigs when she figured out that teasing and bleaching her hair was damaging it. Her first hairstylist, Colleen Owens, introduced her to her first fall (a piece you blend with your own hair for more volume). Dolly then realized shed never have a bad hair day with wigs. The rest is history.
[My first hairstylist] Colleen Owens introduced me to my first hairpiece?they used to be called falls?that you could add to your own hair and give you extra bulk. And it was through her that we found wigs. She was so creative. The wigs were wearing me?I wasn?t wearing the wig! But I loved all the intricate little things that Colleen used to do. It was always the bigger, the better. I started wearing wigs because I quickly realized that bleaching and teasing my hair every day would cause breakage and not look good. It was handy to have several looks that I could just choose from, and never have a bad hair day.?
[From Vogue]
Im very lucky to have naturally thick hair, but no matter how much I tease or spray it, and no matter how i style it, it does not hold volume at all near the crown of my head. So I would definitely turn to wigs if big floofy hair was the goal. Its great that Dollys always been open about wearing wigs because hair thinning and hair loss is something that happens to so many women. Thats not why Dolly started wearing them, but I think she shows people that its okay to use something artificial if it makes you feel better about yourself or like how you look. Sometimes people equate being authentic with being unvarnished or being au naturel. But its really just about wearing what you like and what makes you happy.

I cannot even imagine the stress of having to get dressed for a Women?s Wear Daily event. Those are some of the bitchiest fashion people in the world! In Jennifer Lawrence?s case, her choice was to keep it very simple and on-theme. J-Law attended the Women?s Wear Daily Honors in NYC on Tuesday, and she was there to present an award to Dior?s artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri. So Jen just wore a simple, black Dior dress.
While I get this look for the event, in general it?s kind of a snooze. The top would be better without forcing the off-the-shoulder thing. I can?t stand the ?unhemmed? look of the skirt either. This could have been a perfectly flattering black sweater and black pencil skirt, but instead Dior had to make it ?funky? for the ?kids.? Jen was styled well though I like the slicked-back hair/half-chignon and the statement earrings. The red lip works well too.
J-Law?s raunchy comedy No Hard Feelings just dropped on Netflix this week and it?s already a streaming hit. Hopefully, that film will have made enough money to justify a return to mid-budget comedies, whenever the SAG-AFTRA strike is over.

It has to be said, (the white) Michelle Williams was the perfect choice to narrate Britney Spears? memoir, The Woman in Me. When the news came out several weeks ago, Michelle made a statement about how she ?stands with Britney,? and you can tell that Michelle really means it. She is really great at book narration, specifically for Britney?s whole vibe. Basically, everyone believes that Michelle will win a Grammy for this. Note: Michelle doesn?t actually have an Oscar or a Tony, although she?s been nominated for both. She does have an Emmy, so she?s well on her way to EGOTing. These are some clips of Michelle?s narration which have made the rounds:

It feels like people in the NFL world probably have an image of Taylor Swift as a sophisticated urbanite who only dated posh British guys. But from what I?ve seen and what I know about Taylor, I would imagine that she?s probably quite at home in Travis Kelce?s world, and I would also imagine that she enjoys the time she?s spent in Kansas City. Kansas City has a population of a half a million people, it?s urban (and suburban) and they have nice restaurants and cool neighborhoods and a thriving art/music community. She probably loves it there! Well, Taylor apparently enjoys Kansas City so much that she stayed there even after the Chiefs game on Sunday. Travis took Taylor out to an Argentinian steakhouse on Monday night.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce topped off their picture perfect weekend with a romantic dinner near his home in Kansas City. DailyMail.com spotted the hottest new couple arriving at sophisticated Argentine steakhouse Piropos in his Rolls Royce Monday night.
The restaurant usually closes at 9pm but stayed open late to accommodate the celebrity pair, who at one point had the entire restaurant to themselves for an intimate dinner for two.
After two hours inside, the pair were seen walking hand-in-hand to the car. Travis then gently placed his hand on the small of Taylors back and ever the gentleman, opened the car door and made sure the popstar was safely inside.
The Argentinian meal could be a sign that Taylor is gearing up for the international leg of her ERAs tour that takes her to Buenos Aires in just a few weeks.
They could choose from such delicacies as empanadas and Argentine style crab bisque or go all out on a peppercorn crusted filet for $50, a rib-eye for $52, or a lobster at market price. The restaurant is known for its grilled meats, seafood, fresh salads and vegetables with a touch of Spanish, Italian, French and other ethnic foods to enjoy the cosmopolitan nature of Argentinean dining.
The couple ended the night by diving back to his house followed by the singers security team and three Kansas City Police Department SUVs. Travis was dressed in the blue Celine track suit he had worn all day, while Taylor wore a short skirt, brown jacket and knee high boots accentuating her toned legs.
[From The Daily Mail]
If you want to see the Piropos menu, go here. The food looks amazing, especially the steaks. Some people say you should never eat seafood when you?re that far inland, so I am side-eyeing some of their claims that the seafood is super-fresh. But the loaded baked potato looks amazing! I wonder what Taylor ordered. I wonder what Travis ordered too, because I bet he ordered like three dishes. The fact that he arranged for the restaurant to stay open late so they could be alone? wow. He?s really wooing her and treating her like a princess. I love it, as I?ve said, and I think he?s in it to win it. But I do wonder if Taylor is fighting the urge to sabotage this.

Two weeks ago, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid went on a date in New York. It felt aggressively random and the news left me feeling unsettled. Since then, we?ve gotten something like an official relationship rollout. Publicists have dropped tidbits about the new relationship to People Magazine and Page Six, and Bradley and Gigi have been seen out and about a few more times for good measure. I still believe that Bradley is just desperate to be in the news ahead of the release of Maestro, the Leonard Bernstein bio-pic he directed and stars in. Bradley can?t do traditional promotion during the strike, so this is his way of keeping his name out there. ?Sure, I?ll watch Maestro, starring Gigi Hadid?s boyfriend,? he imagines the youths will say. But what if Gigi + Bradley is also just random spon-con for Pennsylvania hotels? Because someone at ?luxury hotel River House at Odette?s? just spilled all to People:
From stepping out for intimate dinners in New York City to strolling through Manhattans West Village together, Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid continue to enjoy each others company. Now PEOPLE can confirm theyve also spent time outside of the city together, in a charming riverfront town in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
Several weeks ago, both Cooper, 48, and Hadid, 28, were spotted at the luxury hotel River House at Odettes in New Hope, Pennsylvania together ? not far from where Gigis mother Yolanda has a farm.
They were both here at the same time, a River House regular confirms to PEOPLE, adding that they were enjoying an evening at the hotels exclusive roof bar. The roof bar is for members and hotel guests only, the onlooker explains, adding that Gigi and her siblings, Bella and Anwar, are also members and frequent guests.
Their family farm is only about a mile down the road, another insider says, referring to Yolanda Hadids Bucks County horse farm.
Previously, another insider explained to PEOPLE that the couples budding romance definitely included road trips out of the city. ?Gigi is great. She is getting to know Bradley outside of the city. They take weekend trips together, the insider said. She has fun. She likes that he is a dad, too.? (Hadid shares daughter Khai, 3, with her ex Zayn Malik, while Cooper shares daughter Lea De Seine, 5, with his ex Irina Shayk.)
The River House at Odettes, which opened in 2020, also boasts 36 hotel rooms and two guest cottages as well as a farm-to-table restaurant Odettes and the private roof club, all overlooking the Delaware River. Its a popular spot for brunch, dinner, drinks and just people watching, the first source adds, noting that its only 40 miles outside of Philadelphia and a four-minute walk to town. Were always packed on weekends.
[From People]
Shocked that the ?source? didn?t add information about what phone number to call to book a table and the rooms available for the next six weekends. Clearly, The River House at Odette?s is looking to cash in with some hot Bradgi/Gidley gossip. The thing is, I?m still not clear about whether anyone cares? Is anyone checking for Gigi and Bradley? They?re not Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, a coupling which has something for everyone, which has captured a lot of imaginations.

| | Princess Kate is too bitter, hurt & insulted to ever be a keen peacemaker again | | Added 221 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

One of my favorite royal storylines was when the Princess of Wales (then the Duchess of Cambridge) could not STFU about how she was the keenest peacemaker in the family, and she was going to do the most to force her husband and brother-in-law to reconcile. This was in 2021, and Kate used the ?peacemaker? storyline for weeks, if not months. The keen peacemaker actually overshadowed Prince Philip?s funeral with her shenanigans, just as she arranged for a special funeral photoshoot with her borrowed jewelry. Sometimes I think back to particular royal storylines and I?m like ?did that actually happen?? It did. Anyway, Kate is too lazy to keep up the pretense of being a peacemaker, so her new thing is being a rageaholic like her husband. There have been several stories in recent months about Kate being bitter and full of hate towards the Sussexes. The latest twist is that she?s too bitter to even think about being a keen peacemaker over the holidays!
She was once dubbed the peacemaker and believed to be instrumental in helping heal royal rifts. But Kate Middleton?s relationship with her brother-in-law Prince Harry is now so damaged that she won?t be the one to ?hold out an olive branch? in time for Christmas, a royal expert has revealed.
Royal commentator Jennie Bond exclusively told Fabulous: ?Catherine was deeply hurt by some of the things Harry said about her, particularly in his book, and unfortunately because of these entrenched positions where neither side seems to want to make contact or the first move, I can?t see this rift healing any time soon. Catherine has played the peacemaker in the past and has brought William and Harry together, and I think that comes from her own family, and their values. But I think she has got to a stage whereby she has had to take a step back, things have gone too far, and she feels upset and, quite frankly, hurt and insulted.?
Now, despite months passing since the release of [Spare], Jennie says the trio?s positions haven?t changed and that she doesnt expect a family reconciliation in time for Christmas.
She said: ?I think Catherine was hurt by Harry (and Meghan?s) claim that she made Meghan cry during a fitting for Charlotte?s bridesmaid dress, and again by Meghan?s view, which was relayed by Harry, that she found Catherine and William standoffish, a bit cold, when they first met. After all, we have seen that Catherine is more than ready to give people a hug even people she has no connection with and will never see again. We must remember that Harry once described Catherine as the sister he never had. Now it seems she is the sister in law he no longer wants to see.?
Jennie says that Kate has not only been hurt by the personal attacks on herself, but those aimed at her husband and the wider royal family too.
She said: ?I think Catherine has been badly hurt by Harry?s brutal attacks on William, like his decision to reveal so much of what went on during their disagreements, and by the claim that someone in the royal family questioned the tone of unborn Archie?s skin, it was such a generalised claim that it hurt the whole family. I think Catherine and William have jointly decided that they will carry on with family life and work, and for most of the time, they don?t think about Harry very much, and I expect vice versa. I can?t see an olive branch being extended from either side any time soon.?
[From The Sun]
What changed from ?the keen peacemaker? storyline of 2021 versus the ?Kate is too bitter and hateful to ever make peace? storyline of 2023? The change was, as Jennie Bond says, Harry?s memoir. Harry wrote so carefully, but he really left the impression that Kate was just a sh-tstirring ahole, someone who instigates drama, someone deeply unfriendly and someone who was immediately jealous of Meghan. I also think time has changed everything the Windsors now realize that Harry isn?t coming back AND he?s pissed at them. As always, the royal experts? framing is wild the Sussexes have shown everyone that they have moved on thoroughly, but the Windsors still cling to this false narrative that they?re in charge.

In June, Prince William and Kate took their eldest child on a tour of Eton. Eton is the go-to boarding school for every posh boy in the UK, it?s the school for future prime ministers, kings and captains of industry. The connections formed at Eton can last a lifetime. It?s really funny, then, that most of William?s Eton friends are just, like, club promoters and well-heeled snobs. Still, the establishment demands that Prince George go to Eton, and it?s more than likely that he will go there in a few years. Kate is said to be pretty broken up about it and she and William have been arguing for years about it. She?s built her entire work-shy image around being a ?hands-on mother? who must be available for every single school run. Kate doesn?t really want any of her kids to go to boarding school, she would prefer her kids to be ?day students? at some posh school, like her alma mater, Marlborough. Speaking of, Kate was seen visiting Marlborough recently, per Richard Eden?s column in the Mail:
Having endured two miserable terms at Downe House where, it has been said, she was the target of school bullies, Kate Middleton was delighted to arrive at Marlborough College in the 1990s. She excelled in the classroom as well as on the sports field before she went on to St Andrews University, where she met Prince William. Now, I can reveal, the Princess of Wales has made a secret return visit to her beloved alma mater.
Catherine was here the other day, a source at the 46,995-per-year boarding school in Wiltshire tells me. Its been the talk of the school. Parents speculate that the Princess may be thinking about sending her elder son, Prince George, to co-educational Marlborough, where her sister, Pippa, and brother, James, were also pupils. Princess Eugenie, Samantha Cameron and comedian Jack Whitehall are among its other alumnae.
George, aged ten, is in Year 6 at Lambrook prep school in Berkshire, but was recently spotted looking around Eton College with his family ahead of a potential move there. His father attended Eton, as did his uncle, Prince Harry, who wrote in his memoirs, Spare, about how it was the wrong choice of school for him.
Catherine will not join William in Singapore for the Earthshot Prize awards next month because Prince George has school exams that week. For the first time since launching the environmental award, the Prince will fly solo when he heads to Asia. A Kensington Palace source confirmed that the Princess wanted to remain at home to support their elder son. All applicants for Year 9 sit an online pre-test in the autumn term of Year 6, either at their current school or at an agreed centre. Eton also requests a head teachers report covering a boys academic strengths, interests and character.
Pupils are then chosen to go forward to the second stage, an assessment later in the academic year before successful candidates are offered a conditional place, pending an entrance exam sat in Year 8. Similar tests are held at around the same time for applicants to Marlborough College.
[From The Daily Mail]
It?s sort of cute that Kate thinks that she could get away with sending George to Marlborough. She?s not going to win that battle, even though she got her way about the kids? early education. I?ve always believed that Kate got her way because A) William truly did not give a sh-t and B) because she would eventually have to send the kids to boarding school when they turn 12/13. Anyway, it?s also possible that she wants Charlotte to go to her alma mater, and there?s a good chance Kate would get her way on that. But George is going to Eton. At least she gets two more years of not doing anything because of ?the school run? and ?preparing George for Eton.?
