The only part of Ariana Grande?s chaotic and cockamamie PR I believe this year was the part where she claimed that she and Dalton Gomez had been on the rocks long before she started up with Ethan Slater. The scandalous part of Ariana and Ethan?s adultery was that Ethan?s wife Lilly Jay had no idea, and that Ari and Ethan were going around behind Lilly?s back. Dalton wasn?t around Ariana had basically already left him, although I?ll also buy the idea that she kept giving him just enough emotional incentive to stick around in case she needed him. In any case, Dalton was also the most quiet of the four people in this toxic situation he didn?t make a big stink, he didn?t pile on, he didn?t sell his story, he didn?t chat with Page Six. He and Ariana quietly worked through their sh-t, filed for divorce simultaneously, and Dalton is walking away with a seven-figure check for his trouble.
Ariana Grande and Dalton Gomez have made quick work out of their divorce, settling up just weeks after they filed to end their marriage. There werent a whole lot of contentious issues there was a prenup, and, as we reported when we broke the story, Ariana cut Dalton a check and according to the settlement Dalton will receive $1,250,000, tax-free. Dalton is getting the money upfront, so there will be no spousal support.
Dalton will also receive 1/2 of the net proceeds from the sale of their L.A. home. And, Ariana will pay up to $25,000 of Daltons attorneys fees.
A source close to the situation tells us, There is still a strong mutual love and respect between Ariana and Dalton and they wanted to make sure everything was done right in lockstep with one another.
The settlement is standard operating procedure for Arianas lawyer, disso queen Laura Wasser, who tries usually successfully to quickly settle even the most contentious divorces. Youll recall, she recently settled the bitter divorce between Kevin Costner and Christine Baumgartner.
The settlement has been filed with the court, and all thats left is for the judge to sign and they will be single again. Ariana is in deep with her newest boo, Wicked co-star Ethan Slater, and were told Dalton is dating as well. The date of separation on the divorce docs is February 20, but they didnt file for divorce until last month.

It can be clean-cut like this when there are no kids involved and one spouse feels a bit guilty and wants to write a check so that her ex will be able to land on his feet. As I said before, I wonder who ?managed? this for Ariana, because this was the only part of the drama which was handled correctly and efficiently. I guarantee Ari got an NDA attached to the settlement and Dalton would never break it. It?s good that he?s also getting half of the profit from the sale of their home that will probably be more than his cash settlement, considering the real estate market in LA. I wish Dalton well and I?m sure Ari does too. And yes, she?s moved on. She moved on while she was still married.

Gigi Hadid has been the most random-ass person for the past year. It was around this time last year that things appeared to be ?heating up? between Leo DiCaprio and Gigi. They kept showing up to the same places and partying together and maybe they were dating, but it seemed more like a situationship of convenience as Leo was trying to beat the allegations that his d-ck would crumble if he was around a woman over the age of 25 for more than ten minutes. What did Gigi get out of it? I don?t know, maybe a boost in her profile, maybe she wanted to signal that she was finally ready to move on after Zayn Malik.
At the end of the day, whatever happened between Gigi and Leo just fizzled out. Leo has moved on with Vittoria Ceretti (who is 25) and now Gigi is moving as well? with 48-year-old Bradley Cooper???
Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid are spending time together. The actor, 48, and supermodel, 28, were spotted exiting celebrity hotspot Via Carota in New York Citys West Village neighborhood on Thursday before getting into the same SUV, as seen in photos shared by the Daily Mail.
Both were dressed casually for their dinner outing, with Hadid in a white cropped top under a black leather jacket, paired with a tan miniskirt. Meanwhile, Cooper wore a striped jacket over a blue graphic tee, dark slacks and a two-toned baseball cap.
Reps for Hadid and Cooper did not immediately respond to PEOPLEs requests for comment.
[From People]
First of all, it feels like New York is back, bitches! Celebrities are going out on the town and partying old-school at all of the hot spots. Taylor Swift and Sophie Turner were just eating and drinking at Via Carota a few weeks ago, and celebs like Jennifer Lawrence and Gwyneth have also been seen there. Anyway, about Gigi and Bradley? I don?t get it, but I?ve never understood B-Coop, if I?m being honest. He operates a lot like Leo, but he?s fine with dating women in their late 20s or 30s (just not past that). He seems intense and weird. What would he and Gigi even have to say to each other?

Katja Herbers is a Dutch actress who lives and works in America. You might have seen her on Westworld or CBS?s Evil or The Americans. Well, last week, she had some thoughts about Taylor Swift?s new romance with football player Travis Kelce. She tweeted:

Here are some photos from last night?s gala event for the New York City Ballets 75th Anniversary. Sarah Jessica Parker, a longtime supporter and patron of the NYC Ballet, was there with her husband Matthew Broderick. Interestingly enough, Diane Kruger also decided to come out for this event. Diane has attended NYC Ballet events in the past, but she?s not known as some kind of long-time supporter of the company. I find it fascinating that Diane made a point of stepping out with her partner/fiance (and father of her child) Norman Reedus this week, the week that Jodie Turner Smith filed for divorce from Joshua Jackson. I think she did it on purpose, that she was looking for a chance to send a signal that she and Norman are still together. Considering she?s given interviews for years now, taking swipes at Joshua, you can?t blame me for feeling like this was pointed. Diane wore a ?bridal white? bespoke Givenchy to the gala. The sleeves are so bad, it looks like her arm is in a sling.
Here?s SJP and Matthew Broderick. Sarah Jessica always does tulle-intensive ballerina looks for NYC Ballet events. We don?t talk about that enough, that SJP is a theme-dresser. This dress is Carolina Herrera and she added a giant hair bow. I get what she was doing but this feels like mutton dressed as lamb. I know exactly how judgmental that sounds but I still say this look is way too ?young.?
Molly Ringwald in Zac Posen! She looks great!
And finally, Justin Theroux in heels!

I was in my 30s before I really understood that the British class system is vastly different from the American class system. In America, class is determined by money more than anything else, and you can be born in one class and move to another through work, education, marriage and/or money. In Britain, you?re born and you?ll die in the same class, regardless of what happens in between, regardless of who you marry or what money you make. The idea of ?middle class? is vastly different too in America, ?middle class? means families who, like, own a home, live in the suburbs, at least one parent has a college degree and enough income to live somewhat comfortably. In Britain, that same family would easily be called ?working class.?
The difference in class systems and how they?re viewed is on display in Netflix?s Beckham docuseries. Within Britain, Victoria and David Beckham are both viewed (and they view themselves) as coming from working-class backgrounds. But David called out Victoria on-camera in what is becoming THE viral clip from the series:

This feels like the first time in years that I?ve seen Taylor Swift in bike shorts, a slouchy t-shirt, sneakers and a baseball cap. Throughout this year, she struts around New York in heels, minis and other cute ensembles. She?s the queen of street style and one of the nicest things about Taylor is that she gets ?dressed up? to leave her house. It does look like Taylor dressed with purpose though her t-shirt is from Free People, and it?s the Shania Twain ?Any Man of Mine? tee. Her sneakers are New Balance and she carried a Louis Vuitton purse.
These are pics of Taylor coming and going from the Electric Lady studio in NYC. The woman with her is Keleigh Sperry, aka Miles Teller?s wife. Miles and Taylor worked together a few years ago when he was cast in the music video for Taylor?s ?I Bet You Think About Me.? Taylor has been in and out of the Electric Lady all year, recording new music and re-recording 1989 (Taylor?s Version). She uses it as a social club too, inviting her friends to hang out at the studio and listen to her record. But where?s Travis Kelce? Well, even if Travis isn?t around constantly, he and Taylor are apparently quite smitten with each other:
Despite being one of the most famous women in the world, Taylor Swift ?was low-key and low-maintenance? as she watched Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce help his team defeat the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey on Sunday, October 1, an insider exclusively reveals in the new issue of Us Weekly. The source adds that Swift ?was sweet to everyone and had an amazing time? as she cheered alongside famous pals including Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds, Sophie Turner and Sabrina Carpenter.
It was her second time watching Kelce play, but just one of Swift?s many upbeat outings in recent weeks. On a break from the first leg of her record-shattering Eras Tour ? which is set to make more than $1 billion ? the 33-year-old Grammy winner is clearly enjoying herself as she embarks on a new romance with the football star, 33, and spends quality time with her girl squad. ?Taylor?s doing all the things she hasn?t had time for lately,? says a second source, ?like going out with her friends and staying out late.?
Swift kept a noticeably lower profile during her six-year relationship with British actor Joe Alwyn, from whom she split in April. ?Taylor has decided she?s not going to hide anymore,? a third source tells Us. ?She?s going to be her authentic self and enjoy life.?
Despite talk that Swift and Kelce?s hookup is a PR stunt, multiple sources tell Us the pop star?s feelings for the Ohio native are legit. They?ve seen each other several times ? Kelce was reportedly spotted leaving Swift?s NYC apartment on Sunday morning ? and ?talk every day,? says the third source. ?Taylor?s really enjoying getting to know Travis,? the insider adds. ?They?re taking it day by day, but she has high hopes. She likes that he?s a normal, nice guy. He?s down-to-earth and isn?t affected by fame. She also thinks he?s hot.?
A fourth source says the feelings are mutual: ?Travis is completely smitten.?
[From Us Weekly]
?Taylor has decided she?s not going to hide anymore. She?s going to be her authentic self and enjoy life.? That?s sort of my favorite part about Taylor, post-Joe Alwyn. She was so fking quiet during that relationship and while I appreciated that, and it felt like she was maturing, it?s been fun to see her as a chaotic single girl, out enjoying her life this year. Was the Matt Healy situation pretty bad? Yes, but it was also hilarious, because she was so out of practice as she tried to grapple with her feelings for a racist famewhore. This Travis Kelce thing must be a welcome relief.

It?s been interesting to watch as Sophie Turner becomes some kind of sainted figure for a particular group of people, and those people suddenly fancy themselves family-law experts who claim that Sophie is 100% right and Joe is 100% wrong. While I?ve said all along that Joe?s carefully orchestrated campaign against Sophie was a nasty business, don?t confuse that with Sophie having a strong position. She is not in a strong position whatsoever. As soon as she claimed that Joe was abducting their children while their daughters were with her in New York and after she had been served with the order to not remove the children from the US it was clear that Joe and Sophie both needed to come to the table and work out their sh-t quietly. Thankfully, over the past week, it looks like they?ve started to do just that. They?re now dealing with the family court in New York, they agreed to not remove the girls from the greater New York area for the time being, and now they?ve agreed to mediation:
Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner are turning to mediation to work through custody of their children. In a hearing on Tuesday, lawyers for the estranged couple revealed that they are set to start a four-day mediation on Wednesday to resolve issues in their divorce, including establishing custody and a parenting plan for their two daughters, Willa, 3, and Delphine, 14 months.
Although Judge Katherine Polk Failla set a Jan. 2 trial date, the mediation aims to solve many of Turner, 27, and Jonas custody issues. In court, Turners lawyer Stephen Cullen claimed that Jonas, 34, is asking for joint custody, saying that what he was looking for is a 50-50.
The parties are both seeing their children, which is what we all want, Cullen later said.
Judge Failla agreed with Cullen, saying that she echo[es] concerns about the children that he had brought up.
Despite high hopes for the mediation, Cullen said that the current case should proceed in parallel track to [the] mediation.
Reps for Jonas and Turner did not immediately respond to PEOPLEs request for comment regarding the mediation.
[From People]
For the record? Joe has never said that his aim was full custody. He?s always said that he and Sophie should have 50-50 custody, and he?s actually fine with Sophie moving back to the UK and raising their daughters there half the time. He just doesn?t want to move to the UK, which seems to be the root of all of this drama more than anything else. I would love to know how all of this plays out in mediation, but that?s the whole point of Sophie and Joe going through mediation they can work this sh-t out with their lawyers in a room instead of the acrimonious legal filings.

| | Selma Blair visited the White House to help celebrate the Americans with Disabilities Act | | Added 360 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Selma Blair was finally diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) five years ago. I say ?finally? because she only got the proper diagnosis after being in pain for most of her life, and spending ten years doggedly seeking an answer. On Monday Selma was invited to speak at the White House to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Rehabilitation Act and the 33rd of its descendant, the Americans with Disabilities Act. Escorted on the arm of President Joe Biden ? who fought for both bills in Congress as a senator ? and with the assistance of a cane and her support dog Scout, Selma spoke with candor about how both laws have helped her to be ?a proud disabled woman.? I?m not crying, you are.
Blair told a crowd of advocates attending the ceremony, ?Although I?d had symptoms since the age of 7, it took a lifetime of self-advocacy to finally lead me to a diagnosis at age 46, after living most of my life in pain and self-doubt.?
She said Judy Heumann, a renowned activist who helped secure passage of the legislation protecting the rights of disabled people being celebrated Monday and who died in March at age 75, ?Taught me my worth.?
?The push towards equity continues,? Blair said. ?Our laws and policies must reflect that our disabled lives are not of lesser value.?
Biden also hailed Heumann, noting that, ?History shows it?s often not the people in power, but the power of the people that move the country forward.?
The Rehabilitation Act of 1973 prohibits discrimination on the basis of disability in programs conducted by federal agencies, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 prevents discrimination against disabled people on everything from employment to parking to voting.
October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, and Biden noted both bills received bipartisan support when clearing Congress.
?These laws are a source of opportunity, meaningful inclusion, participation, respect, and, as my dad would say, the most important of all, dignity,? Biden said. ?Be treated with dignity. Ensuring that the American dream is for all of us, not just for some of us.?
[From AP News]
Selma looked like a BOSS. Everything about her look is goals for me: the white-blonde slicked-back hair, the Chanel-esque Carolina Herrera suit with impossible-to-miss embellishments, a faithful dog companion, what looks like a lucite cane. It?s all working, and it?s all fabulous. The only area I?ll have to tap out on are the heels. I look like a baby giraffe taking her first steps in those things.
So a breakdown of her look may seem superficial, but I think it makes a deeper impact too. Everything she (and Biden) spoke about had to do with equity, dignity, and worth. With that outfit and the way she carried herself, Selma?s whole presence commanded respect and attention. So much respect, in fact, that when Biden bent down to give Scout a scritch (who was napping at Biden?s feet), when Selma gave Scout a gentle direction it was Biden who responded by standing up straight again. Good boy, Joe! And it made me so, so happy that she and Biden both honored Judy Heumann, who was a great light that went out this year. Those acts would not exist today without her, as she was ?the mother? of the disability rights movement in America.

| | Jennifer Lopez & Ben Affleck actually seem perfectly solid after a quiet summer? | | Added 361 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Bennifer has been relatively quiet for months. Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have been seen a few times walking arm in arm down a street, or going to dinner, or having an argument in a car but it was an incredibly quiet summer for them, and I imagine it will be a quiet fall. I?m fine with that I wish them well and I believe in them. I believe that it?s different now, that Ben has had enough of scratching his self-destructive itch, that he?s really making an effort to ensure that this marriage works. This is one of those rare situations where it feels like ?no news is good news.? Now, Page Six and other outlets are desperately trying to convince people that there?s drama behind the scenes, especially with their blended family. ?Sources? shut it down:
Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are crushing co-parenting ? and they have Jennifer Lopez to thank for it. The singer has helped her husband and his ex-wife get to a ?better place,? a source told the Daily Mail Thursday.
?Ben is healthy,? the source continued. ?The drama of the past and the emotions of divorce are long gone and they are all making it work.?
In fact, Lopez herself is ?friendly? with Garner and all of their children ?love each other.?
?It is really a very happy co-parenting situation,? the source furthered.
The Grammy winner is the mother of twins Emme and Maximilian, 15, whom she shares with ex-husband Marc Anthony. Meanwhile, Affleck and Garner share Violet, 17, Seraphina, 14, and Samuel, 11.
?Everything is really good right now and should be the same in the near and distant future,? the source gushed, going on to note that the actor, 51, and Lopez, 54, have also had ?many talks? about her co-parenting relationship with Marc Anthony.
?They all have been able to figure it out,? the outlet reported. ?It is actually inspiring and nice to see.?
[From Page Six]
I actually believe this? I don?t think Garner wants him back and I think she?s happy to see him with J.Lo. Or rather, Garner got there eventually, and I would also assume that J.Lo made an effort as well. I find the blended family aspect fascinating it?s clear that Emme and Seraphina were instantly tight, just as it was clear that Ben felt comfortable with J.Lo?s twins right away. As for Marc Anthony? from what?s I?ve heard, he?s barely involved with those kids, but whatever. Anyway, this is just my update I think Ben & J.Lo are fine, despite the efforts to make them sound like their marriage is already full of drama.

| | Sophie Turner released a letter from Joe Jonas stating his intention to move to the UK | | Added 361 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Don?t get me wrong, I think Joe Jonas is a creep, a jerk and probably quite sexist too. He clearly wanted Sophie Turner to be his tradwife, and he backtracked in a hurry when his week-long smear campaign against Sophie backfired. All that being said, as Sophie and Joe?s dueling legal filings have shown, Joe is a lot more prepared than Sophie. He?s been preparing for this divorce for months, he?s listening to his lawyers and, by filing for divorce first in Florida, he?s done a lot to control how the divorce and custody battles will proceed. All Sophie has is? a letter. A letter Joe wrote when they were shopping for real estate in the UK.
Sophie Turner has filed legal documents that include a heartfelt letter written by Joe Jonas to the seller of the U.K. home the former couple intended to purchase together before their split. The exes have been involved in a contentious ongoing custody dispute about where their children ? Willa, 3, and Delphine, 14 months ? should live in the wake of their divorce. The Game of Thrones actress, 27, claimed in an earlier filing that the familys home base was in the U.K. and revealed she and the Jonas Brothers singer, 34, had entered into a contract to buy a home in her native country.
According to Page Six, Jonas reportedly wrote in part, When my wife and I decided we were going to spend more time in the UK and search for a permanent home, our daughter expressed three unwavering requirements: having chickens, a pony and a Wendy house While many of the houses we viewed met this criteria, the moment we turned the corner and caught sight of the charming blue shutters adorning [redacted], we experienced a sense of magic unlike anything we had felt before.?
He also reportedly wrote to the owner: We can envision our children growing up here and making this our forever home,? and, ?I really think Sophie and I will be able to look after [redacted names] and for many years pay homage to the magic you have created here.?
However, a source close to the situation tells PEOPLE of the house in England, They did not buy the house. The house is in escrow, the sale never closed. According to an earlier filing from Turner, they began looking for a house in the U.K. in Dec. 2022. The search continued through July 2023, when they entered into a contract to purchase a property, but the deal would not be completed until December 2023.
They have never been residents of the U.K., the source adds. Residency is a legal term and that is how the courts will define it. Residency includes things like where you have your driver?s license, where you vote, where your kids go to school, where you last lived as a family for a significant period of time (specifically 6 months).
In 2021, Turner and Jonas had purchased and completely redecorated a family residence in Miami. They listed it for sale in April 2023 and sold the property for $15 million in August. Referencing this property, the source continued, There is no place the family lived for 6 months or longer other than Florida. Intention, expressed in a letter or otherwise, does not equal residency. Actions do. And so while the letter was inserted in the motion in order to pique the attention of reporters, it won?t actually be material to determine legal residency.
[From People]
Yeah? Joe?s side is correct. While the letter shows that Joe, at one time, intended to buy a home in the UK, it?s not some smoking gun which proves that Joe and Sophie lived in the UK, had established residency in the UK or that this is a British family court issue. Like, it sort of feels like Sophie?s biggest issue with Joe is that he changed his mind about moving to the UK, or that he was never even sold completely on the move in the first place. This letter would be a smoking gun in a civil case if Sophie was suing him over a failed real estate deal, but in a divorce case, the letter isn?t that important?
