Jennifer Aniston has always been a great dog momma and rescue advocate. Her first pup was Norman, whom she famously rescued after he had a bit part on Friends (the boy couldn?t act, but he could love!). Norman has sadly left us, as did Jen?s dog Dolly. But she still has in her pack Lord Chesterfield and Clyde. In 2021 Jen turned Clyde?s illustrated alter-ego Clydeo into a children?s book, and this month she just released a fourth in the series: Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life. She also just launched The Clydeo Fund, which aims to help out shelters that take care of our pups on their way to finding forever homes. Jen spoke with People Mag to tout both projects, and she talked about how she keeps posting dogs on her Instagram so they can be rescued, even if it?s tough to constantly be faced with their hopeful, longing mugs.
Jennifer Aniston had made it her mission to help rescue as many animals as possible.
Along with her new children?s book, Clydeo Takes a Bite Out of Life, and The Clydeo Fund, which supports animal shelters, the actress, producer, and entrepreneur, 55, also uses her Instagram account to share stories of rescue dogs in need.
?It?s so hard, but it helps; they get seen and rescued,? she tells PEOPLE. ?It?s almost impossible to keep up with it. But I?m constantly updated that so-and-so got rescued. So all I keep thinking is if one gets out, that?s all I care about.?
The Morning Show star and executive producer wrote her new picture book, illustrated by Bruno Jacob and inspired by one of her rescue dogs, Clyde, to help motivate kids to explore their interests. ?They?re so focused on these phones and just disappear into this void of scrolling,? she says. ?They don?t really spend time being stimulated by the world and figuring out what they want to do.?
First introduced as an animated dog on Aniston?s Instagram account in 2021, Clydeo now has a four-book children?s series. ?When they came to me with the idea, it was like, ?Obviously, I?ll make it about something that I fully love and adore, which is my rescue animals,?? she says.
The actress also wanted to ?create a fund where we can donate to these animals all over the world and inspire people to just throw in a dollar. It all adds up,? she says. ?We can get awareness out and help the shelters that are in desperate need.?
With every dollar donated, The Clydeo Fund will help organizations rescue, rehabilitate, and find forever homes for animals. ?We can help these animals, and we can get awareness out, and help the shelters that are in desperate need of upkeep because they?re falling apart,? explains the former Friends star. ?They can?t keep up. And all you see is that we?re euthanizing innocent, beautiful, perfectly, perfectly fine two-year-old dogs, or a puppy, or a litter. I can?t. It?s too much. It?s too many.?

Oh, I feel you Jen! Seeing all those faces, you just want to scoop up and rescue all the floofs! Like Molly Shannon in Year of the Dog. While I usually side eye when yet another celebrity comes out with a childrens book, I have no problem making an exception here. I love that Jen is helping out the shelters ? they deserve all the funding and support we can give them! I just went through all this with My Guy, and the shelter that picked him up took such great care of him. He was three-years-old when he came to them and sick, un-chipped, and not neutered. After making sure he recovered from his illness, they got him microchipped, neutered, and up-to-date on all his vaccines. Maybe that?s pretty standard now, but it wasn?t when I rescued My Girl over a decade ago, so I greatly appreciated it! Here?s to Jen in her very best Doris Day Dog Advocate Era!

I still say that it was a bad idea for Zendaya to sign on to a brand ambassadorship with Louis Vuitton. She is THE fashionista of the moment and every atelier wants to dress her. The only positive thing I?ll say is that her LV contract must be non-exclusive, because it does not seem like she has to wear LV exclusively on every red carpet. LV wants Zendaya?s fashion clout though, they want her at every show, they want her to bring all of the cameras and attention. So here we are Zendaya attended the LV Spring show this week in Paris.
Vogue describes her look as ?reminiscent of the suiting silhouettes that dominated the 1980s, notably in cult-classic films like Working Girl.? How dare you, Vogue!! This is not Working Girl-inspired in the least. It IS ?80s inspired though, and I mean that in the most derogatory way possible. I?m not anti-bubble skirt, but the blazer is killing me.
Cate Blanchett also went to the LV show. Those pants are objectively hilarious. Cate?s bob is lethal these days.
Alicia Vikander is still a brand-ambassador for LV, I believe. The way they styled her should tell you everything you need to know about LV.
Chloe Moretz arguably got the best look. She?s giving Florence Pugh vibes here.

| | NY Post: Prince Harry 'not yet viewed as a statesman' or a celebrity philanthropist | | Added 331 days ago | Source: CeleBitchy |

Last week, Vanity Fair did a lovely wrap-up piece about Prince Harry?s NYC trip: ?Prince Harry?s Transition From Working Royal to Global Advocate Is Now Complete.? I agree while Harry?s meetings and appearances weren?t huge stories, his trip showed that he?s booked and busy and he has a lot on his plate. VF had details about the meetings and events associated with Sentebale, African Parks, The HALo Trust, Travalyst, The Diana Award and more. VF also editorialized a bit which I enjoyed:
Harry?s CGI speech: When Harry took the stage at the Clinton Global Initiative on Tuesday morning, it was clear just how far he had come as a speaker and a public figure. He paced the stage, TED Talk?style, and used his personal cell phone as a visual aid. He began by discussing the Space Race, using it as an extended metaphor for the unforeseen effects that technology can have on our politics. Compared to the uplifting yet somewhat hesitant speeches he used to give five years ago, the prince was brimming with purpose when talking about Big Tech.
All business: In under 72 hours, he packed in at least seven events with a handful of his charities, some of which have counted him as a patron for more than a decade. He gave prepared remarks at most of the events, which meant he was switching gears from subjects ranging from youth empowerment to minefields and conflict to the climate impacts of travel to the ongoing HIV/AIDS crisis in Southern Africa at the drop of the hat.
Harry?s role is different: Where William and Charles have walked the line of representing British government interests while establishing themselves as global leaders in fighting climate change, Harry?s role outside of the palace means he?s coming as a representative of himself?and his ideas. His comments this week reveal a direct point of view now, formed both by his years in the royal family, the research he?s done, and the experiences he?s had outside of it.
Project-driven: Harry and Meghan have always been more project-driven than his Windsor family relatives, a quality which was previously met with skepticism and some disdain from the palace staff. ?You can say what you want about Meghan, but she works incredibly hard,? an insider told Vanity Fair?s Katie Nicholl in 2020, months after their royal exit. ?The problem is she and Harry have a tendency to hatch big projects over dinner and expect them to be actioned within days.? It?s now been four years since they started their Archewell Foundation, and in his whirlwind trip, Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace.
[From Vanity Fair]
That last part ?Harry?s charity appearances made the implicit argument that he has a lot to show for his years outside of the palace? is exactly why there was so much energy towards ?Meghan is a bully? last week. The aim was distraction, the aim was to minimize Harry?s work. Speaking of, the NY Post ran this: ?Prince Harry debuted his reinvention in NYC, but it was ?hijacked? by ?Duchess Difficult? Meghan.? To hear the Post tell it, you?d think that United Nations diplomats are simply glued to Us Weekly for breaking royal news. This piece also told me that Harry?s brother is incandescent with jealousy over Harry?s busy trip.
The Post claims Meghan hijacked Harry?s newscycle: We were with the renegade royal as he toured the Big Apple; talking about his hopes for the future and making fun of his troubled past. He also revealed how important it is for him to follow in his mother, Princess Diana?s footsteps, which always pulls at the heartstrings. All in all, he proved yet again that he can be immensely likable and charming, when he wants to be. But even though she was back at the couple?s California mansion, Harry?s wife made her presence known. The Sussex camp enrolled a cast list of staffers past and present to hit back after claims were again made that Megan, the Duchess of Sussex is, in fact, ?Duchess Difficult?. One political insider in NY for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) told us, ?This totally hijacked any coverage Harry got?it was quite an own goal.?
Harry the wannabe statesman? Sources told Page Six that, despite everything, this is the direction Harry wants to take; he wants to be seen as a statesman and philanthropist. However, the political insider told Page Six he has some way to go before he can claim the kind of impact made by Hollywood stars such as Matt Damon and Jennifer Garner, with her kids charity ?Once Upon a Farm?. Sophia Bush also spoke at the Clinton event. She?s a well known humanitarian and launched her charity, ?Pencils of Promise?, a 2008-founded nonprofit that has built more than 550 schools, largely in Ghana, Guatemala and Laos. The insider said, ?Harry has got a long way to go to be remotely on the same level as Matt Damon. He?s not yet viewed as a statesman ? or as a celebrity who has really made a huge philanthropic impact. He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists.?
Stay out of the tabloids, Harry! ?You?ll have to watch this space to see how far Harry can go,? said another political source who has worked with President Barack Obama, ?If he can get his personal issues out of the tabloids, he might well achieve some big things.?
[From Page Six]
I?m sorry, but why is ?He?s not like Jennifer Garner [or] Sophia Bush ? those are real social impact activists? so funny to me? I mean zero disrespect to Sophia or J-Garn, they?re doing their own work and it?s all completely admirable. But to use their names to disparage Harry, the founder of the Invictus Games? You?re telling me Sophia Bush is a more globally recognized activist and advocate than Prince Harry? The sources/insiders claiming this are not serious people. Anyway, in case you missed it, the people who have spent years smearing Meghan and now really mad that she?s fought back at long last.

Here are photos of Angelina Jolie at the New York Film Festival premiere of Maria, the Pablo Larrain film where she plays Maria Callas. Angelina arrived with her three oldest kids (all of them adults): Maddox, Zahara and Pax. It?s great to see Pax out and about he recently crashed his motorbike in LA traffic and was hospitalized for several days with ?complex trauma.? It looks like there are faint scars on his face, and his wrist is still in a brace. Zahara must have flown up to New York from Spelman College in Atlanta. I don?t know if Maddox has finished college yet. I love that they all came out to support their mom. As a survivor of the Brangeloonie Wars, I remember so many anti-Jolie people predicting that her kids would grow up to hate her. Looks like the kids have grown up to be well-adjusted and thoughtful, and they adore their mom.
I don?t see an ID on Angelina Jolie?s dress it looks vintage-y to me, but it might be something custom-made from Atelier Jolie, you never know. People are saying that Zahara is wearing one of Angelina?s old dresses, which is possible. Zahara and Shiloh have both done the same thing for other red carpets. I think those are Angelina?s two fashionista daughters, while Vivienne is all about normcore and little-old-lady dressing. Maddox and Pax were both suited up and both of them looked really nice. After the premiere, I think Angelina hosted a party at Atelier Jolie. She did the same after the Tonys too.
Last week, Angelina reportedly ?dropped? her FOIA request into the FBI records of the 2016 plane incident. As many of you pointed out in yesterday?s comments, it?s more than likely that Angelina ?dropped? the request because she got what she needed from the FBI, and/or she got enough documentation to use in her divorce case AND her countersuit against Brad over Miraval.

In April 2022, Politico and TMZ reported that Angelina Jolie had filed (as a Jane Doe) for the FBI?s records on their investigation into the 2016 plane incident. The 2016 incident was the game-changer for Angelina. That was where a likely blackout-drunk Brad Pitt terrorized and assaulted Angelina and their children for hours on and off the plane. In 2022, Angelina was technically getting a Freedom of Information Act request, but really, she was trying to piece together what exactly happened with the FBI investigation and why the FBI didn?t file any charges against Pitt. Angelina did manage to get her hands on some of the partially-redacted records, including the FBI?s records of Jolie?s own statements to them about what Brad did to her and the children. Many of those records were then FOIA-requested by media outlets who then published their own coverage, much to Team Pitt?s chagrin. Well, long story short, after two years of trying to figure out why the FBI didn?t charge Pitt with any crime, Jolie is now dropping it.
Angelina Jolie is ending her legal battle against the Department of Justice and FBI over documents connected to the alleged 2016 plane incident involving her then-husband Brad Pitt.
Under the anonymous Jane Doe,? Jolie, 49, had requested in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in 2021 that FBI documents about the incident be released to her. Court documents obtained by PEOPLE indicate the Maria star dropped the case on Wednesday, Sept. 25.
The highly redacted documents Jolie had been pursuing detailed an allegedly drunken altercation on Sept. 14, 2016, between Pitt, 60, and his then-wife ? which came days before Jolie filed for divorce, ending a relationship that began in 2005.
Their children were reportedly present for the alleged conflict on a private plane that had caused the Los Angeles Department of Child and Family Services and FBI to investigate Pitt. A source said at the time that Pitt became verbally abusive and physical with one of their kids, which he denied. Later in 2016, the FBI closed its investigation with no charges against Pitt and DCFS also concluded its investigation, concluding no findings of abuse.
Amid the ongoing legal battle over their French vineyard Chteau Miraval and wine company, Jolie responded to a 2022 lawsuit from her ex with details of the alleged incident, including that Pitt had choked one of the children and struck another in the face. A source close to Pitt told PEOPLE at the time, Its incredibly sad that she continues to rehash, revise and reimagine her description of an event that happened 6 years ago, adding in completely untrue information.?
[From People]
I don?t know why she dropped this, other than she was tired of being stonewalled by the FBI and she likely achieved some of her goals anyway. It?s also worth noting that back in 2022, Jolie/Jane Doe?s lawyer told Politico that Jolie had been trying to get the FBI records for years without having to file a FOIA action, and the FBI stonewalled her that entire time too. It feels like Angelina has her suspicions that something went down between the FBI and Pitt and both parties are doing the most to cover it up.

For many years, Naomi Campbell organized Fashion for Relief, a charity fashion show attached to London Fashion Week. There hasn?t been a Fashion for Relief event in years since 2019, from what I can see. Fashion for Relief supposedly raised money to support charities working in Africa. Well, Britain?s Charity Commission did some digging and they discovered that nothing was as it seemed. Now Naomi Campbell has been banned from ?being a charity trustee? for five years, following the Charity Commissions investigation.
Naomi Campbell has been banned from being a charity trustee after a watchdog investigation uncovered widespread evidence of financial misconduct at the poverty relief charity she founded. The supermodel was disqualified for five years after a Charity Commission inquiry found that Fashion for Relief passed on only a small fraction of the millions of pounds it raised from star-studded celebrity fashion events to good causes.
The charity inappropriately spent tens of thousands of pounds on luxury hotel rooms, flights, spa treatments, personal security and cigarettes for Campbell, while unauthorised consultancy payments running into hundreds of thousands of pounds were made to one of Campbell?s fellow trustees, the commission said.
It found that over a five-year period from 2016, Fashion for Relief raised just under 4.8m from a series of fashion shows but paid out only 389,000 in grants to partner charities once the cost of events and other expenses were accounted for.
Nearly 350,000 was later recovered from the charity by interim managers appointed by the commission and paid to the charities Save the Children and the Mayor?s Fund for London, which reported Fashion for Relief to the regulators four years ago after failing to receive promised payments from fundraising agreements..
Campbell?s fellow trustee Bianka Hellmich, who the inquiry found received 290,000 in unauthorised consultancy fees and 26,000 a year in travel expenses from the charity over a two-year period, was disqualified from being a charity trustee for nine years. Hellmich proposed to the commission to repay the fees and expenses in February 2022 and a repayment plan was agreed with the commission. The full amount was repaid in April 2023. A third trustee, Veronica Chou, was banned for four years.
Fashion for Relief has previously argued that it was not solely a fundraising charity but also a platform that, through its high-profile fundraising events, encouraged donors to give directly to its partner charities and good causes. The commission report, however, reveals that it did not immediately pay Save the Children ?450,000 (375,000) raised at a 2017 fundraising event. Fashion for Relief paid some of the funds, and the remaining money it owed ? 147,000 ? was eventually paid by Fashion for Relief?s interim managers in January 2023.
[From The Guardian]
The commission?s investigation also had details like Naomi using Fashion for Relief funds to stay at a ??3,000-a-night hotel room? in Cannes. She also used the charity?s funds for ?just under ?8,000 on spa treatments, room service, purchases of cigarettes and hotel products.? Sounds like she was using her charity as her own personal piggy bank. 4.8 million raised from Fashion for Relief events and only 389,000 in charitable grants? And Naomi was only suspended for five years? She should have been given a lifetime ban for this insane grift.

For several years now, George and Amal Clooney have been throwing a party ?for justice? in New York. They call the party the Albie Awards, and it?s supposed to be a fundraiser/awards something or other associated with the Clooney Foundation for Justice. Last night was the annual awards show. Amal wore a slinky black gown by Versace (Donatella attended) and she had a fresh blowout. They both spoke to People Magazine about their marriage today is their tenth wedding anniversary, and while there are persistent rumors about the state of their marriage, they put on a big show last night.
George told People: ?I would support anything my wife is involved in. She?s always on the right side of history, and I?m always so proud to be in the same room with her no matter what and this is an event where we get to focus all the attention on the people who don?t get enough attention.?
Amal adds, ?He?s an amazing advocate, and it just means so much to me to be able to do this work together and for him to help bring to life some of the stories that we?re telling tonight.?
Responding to the sweet comments from his wife, the actor jokingly tells PEOPLE, ?I?m giving her money right now, you can?t see, right behind her back.?
The couple, whose 10th wedding anniversary is on Friday, Sept. 27, also shared their plans.
?I?m taking her somewhere tonight, but she doesn?t know where,? George tells PEOPLE.
[From People]
Ah, jokes about paying his wife, how charming. Obviously, I?m still not over George?s skullduggery in recent months, starting with his NYT op-ed which, much like George, has aged like milk. He?s still being asked about it too in Venice, he said that no one will remember what he did. Meanwhile, his sad little bro-movie with a credibly accused child abuser comes out today on streaming, after Apple pulled it from a wide theatrical release. Perhaps now would be the time for George to pass the torch to someone younger. We can have a mini-primary to find a replacement movie star who is younger and cooler.
Celebrity guests at the Albies event included: Leslie Bibb, Jimmy Fallon, Emily Blunt, Cate Blanchett, John Krasinski, Donatella Versace, Mark Ronson, John Oliver, Melinda Gates, Busy Philipps, Ariana Debose, Shailene Woodley and more.

One of the many underreported stories this year is the relative disappearance of Melania Trump. She?s barely left Mar-a-Lago all year, and she?s flatly refused to travel with her husband to any campaign events. Her sole ?campaign appearance? by her husband?s side this year was at the Republican National Convention. She did not make a speech, but she was on stage with him on the final night of the RNC. Apparently, she has made a handful of quiet speeches and appearances at fundraisers, always solo. And now we know how Donald Trump got Melania out of MAL the Trump campaign likely paid Melania six figures per appearance, although no one is actually sure where the money came from. They just know that money has been funneled to Melania personally for her rare public outings.
Melania Trump has barely been seen on the campaign trail this year. One of the few times she has appeared at a political event, she?s received a six-figure paycheck ? a highly unusual move for the spouse of a candidate.
The former first lady spoke at two political fundraisers for the Log Cabin Republicans this year, and she was paid $237,500 for an April event, according to former President Donald Trump?s latest financial disclosure form. The payment was listed as a ?speaking engagement.?
Trump?s latest disclosure form said Melania Trump was paid by the Log Cabin Republicans for the April fundraiser. But it?s a mystery who actually cut the check: Charles Moran, president of the Log Cabin Republicans, told CNN earlier this month the group did not put up the money for her to speak, and the disclosure form did not give any more information about the source of the payment.
Ahead of the other fundraiser in July for the conservative LGBTQ group, a person familiar said at least one request was made to a donor about a similar payment. It?s unclear whether Melania Trump was ultimately paid. The campaign has not put out the financial disclosure for that period. The source told CNN that Ric Grenell, former ambassador to Germany and a Trump ally, was the one who made the request on behalf of Melania Trump. Sources said Grenell has also helped the former first lady with other business ventures.
Campaign finance and government ethics experts say a payment to a presidential candidate?s spouse to appear at political fundraisers in an election is unusual, ethically questionable and should, at the very least, be properly noted in the disclosure forms. ?It seems pretty self-serving. From my own general observation, I?m not used to seeing that,? said Virginia?Canter, the chief ethics counsel at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics.
Sources supportive of Melania Trump who attended the Log Cabin Republican events and didn?t know she got paid for at least one of them defended her, saying it?s her right to decide how to spend her time and to get paid for her time. One person close to Melania Trump said she has decided ?my best and highest use is where I am,? adding that ?she?s a priceless, timeless asset? for Donald Trump.
Records show Melania Trump was also paid $250,000 for a Log Cabin Republican event in December 2022, one of three payments for $250,000 or more that she received for speaking that month, just after the former president announced he was running for reelection, according to Donald Trump?s prior year financial disclosure form. One of the events took place in Florida, and the other was for a California group, Fix California, which was founded by Grenell. Grenell did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

It may seem unimportant in the grander scheme of things, but from my conversations with female voters, they are actually paying attention to the personal lives of the candidates, and they care about the fact that Melania is not supporting her husband on the campaign trail, just like they care that Doug Emhoff is his wife?s biggest and most vocal supporter. Like, voters fking love Doug. Voters think Melania despises her husband. Anyway, this is a drop in the bucket when it comes to the FEC violations of the Trump campaign. All of those MAGA cult members sending their money to Trump, just know that you?re paying Melania to speak to gay Republicans and pretend to tolerate her husband for one night a year. Melania didn?t even go to the debate! She?s so over it and shes just grifting, like everyone else in MAGAland.

I will always want to give Janet Jackson the benefit of the doubt. Her musical impact is major and majorly underrated. I still believe Rhythm Nation is one of the best albums of all time. Her career was undermined and almost destroyed by very powerful people. My point is that there?s every reason to give Janet the benefit of the doubt. But we can also call bullsh-t on her, because she just said some really fked up sh-t to the Guardian. The bulk of the Guardian?s interview/profile is about her life as a divorced mom living in London and her career. She apparently has to live in London because her son?s father Wissam Al Mana is London-based, and I would assume that those were the terms of her divorce from Wissam. Janet ?crinkled her nose? when asked if she enjoys living in London. That?s backstory for what everyone?s talking about, which is that Janet is extremely misinformed on the American election. I have no idea what media she?s consuming in England, but it?s bad. Here?s the relevant portion, with everything in context:
We move on to talk about the state of the nation. Jackson brought politics directly to the pop consciousness with Rhythm Nation, which addressed racism, poverty and inequality ? all issues just as urgent today as they were 35 years ago. She is a prolific social media user, and has used her profile to support Black Lives Matter, to bring awareness to police brutality. Does she feel despondent about how slow change is in coming or is she hopeful about the future?
?Well, there?s all this child trafficking crap that?s going on and sex trafficking crap, you know what I mean, that wasn?t so prevalent then?? It?s a strange about-turn, not least because of the many allegations of child sexual abuse made against Michael. But it is also the most forceful she has been since we sat down. ?At least, we didn?t know about it back then. I don?t think we did, did we? Not really. I think it?s really now out in the open, because it?s like a billion-dollar business and all that crap.?
I wonder what internet rabbit holes she?s been going down, but, before I can ask, she?s moved on. ?On [the Rhythm Nation album], for us, it was about making a difference in a kid?s life, a teenager?s life, from them taking this path with drugs and going down the wrong street to trying to make something of themself.?
On that record she sang about ?joining voices in protest to social injustice? and ?pushing toward a world rid of colour lines?. I wonder where she stands on the forthcoming election. After all, I say, America could be on the verge of voting in its first black female president, Kamala Harris.
?Well, you know what they supposedly said?? she asks me. ?She?s not black. That?s what I heard. That she?s Indian.?
She looks at me expectantly, perhaps assuming that I have Indian heritage. ?Well, she?s both,? I offer.
?Her father?s white. That?s what I was told. I mean, I haven?t watched the news in a few days,? she coughs. ?I was told that they discovered her father was white.?
I?m floored at this point. It?s well known that Harris?s father is a Jamaican economist, a Stanford professor who split from her Indian mother when she was five. ?My mother understood very well that she was raising two black daughters,? Harris wrote in her book The Truths We Hold.
The people who are most vocal in questioning the facts of Harris?s identity tend to be hardcore QAnon-adjacent, Trump-loving conspiracy theorists. I don?t think Jackson falls into that camp, but I do wonder what the algorithms are serving her. I start again. Harris has dual heritage, I say, and, given this moment, does Jackson think America is ready for her ? if we agree she?s black? Or, OK, a woman of colour?
?I don?t know,? Jackson stage whispers. ?Honestly, I don?t want to answer that because I really, truthfully, don?t know. I think either way it goes is going to be mayhem.?
She doesn?t think there will be a peaceful transition of power?
?I think there might be mayhem,? she falters. ?Either way it goes, but we?ll have to see.?
[From The Guardian]
I chuckled at the Guardian writer basically writing ?what in the QAnon bullsh-t am I hearing now??? And that?s what it is, this has all of the hallmarks of Janet falling down a particularly batsh-t QAnon rabbit hole the trafficking comments, the eagerness to spin/amplify conspiracies around a Black woman?s race, the ambivalence when suggesting that there will be a bloody insurrection again. And since people are dumb (including Janet, apparently), let?s say it again for the record: Kamala Harris is Black and Indian. She?s both. Her father is a Black man from Jamaica. Her mother was an Indian immigrant. Janet needs to stop falling down QAnon rabbit holes.
Throughout Sunday, this story got even more bonkers when a man claiming to be Janet?s manager apologized for Janet?s comments, saying in part: ?Janet Jackson would like to clarify her recent comments. She recognizes that her statements regarding Vice President Kamala Harris? racial identity were based on misinformation. Janet respects Harris? dual heritage as both Black and Indian and apologizes for any confusion caused.? Then a few hours later, Janet?s actual manager (her brother Randy) said this guy does not represent Janet and that the apology is not real or authorized. So? even days/weeks after the interview went down, Janet apparently feels no need to backtrack or clarify. Very strange.

Jennifer Lopez filed for divorce from Ben Affleck one month ago exactly. Following that divorce filing, she spent one full week getting her side out there, with ?sources? telling People Magazine what actually happened behind the scenes in the past year. There were stories about Ben?s mood swings, and how Ben basically ghosted her in April and began moving his sh-t out of their house while she was working in New York. Ben was also the one behind their documentary, The Greatest Love Story Never Told, and on and on. Basically, Jennifer was washing her hands of Ben and ensuring that she didn?t get the blame for everything that went down. I also believe Jen was behind the Kick Kennedy rumors too Ben was seeing or is seeing Kick Kennedy, which likely started over the summer.
Anyway, all of that worked. Jennifer has, from where I sit, positioned herself pretty well. She?s hurt and sad, but she?s also making her peace with the fact that Ben sucks. Then there was a disruption in this ?onwards? energy last weekend, when Ben and J.Lo pap-strolled at the Beverly Hills Hotel with their kids. Reportedly, Ben was handsy with her and they were kissing and being affectionate. Ben gets turned on when a woman publicly puts him on blast, apparently. Well, Bennifer reunited once again this week:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are doing their best when it comes to their kids TMZ has learned they walked into a school together despite their divorce in full swing.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the exes were seen making their way to the back-to-school night Tuesday at an L.A. area school where they each have kids that attend. Our sources tell us the exes were totally cool with each other and very cordial.
But don?t get it twisted our sources are adamant they?re not rekindling anything theyre still getting divorced.
Were told theyre a couple who still care for each other theyre wrapped up in a years-long love affair.
But their kids are the real focus. Just last week, the two, along with their respective children, were spotted at The Beverly Hills Hotel, where witnesses saw them kissing and holding hands during the lunch.
[From TMZ]
As I said in the hotel photos from last weekend Ben?s kids seem to get along really well with Jennifer, and Jennifer?s kids were giving Ben the ?he ain?t sh-t? stinkeye. I don?t think Max and Emme want any part of this, but Ben?s kids are so disappointed that their dad fked up another marriage. Anyway, I absolutely hope that Jennifer has given up on Ben and that none of these outings lead to reconciliation. That being said, I feel like J.Lo is exactly the kind of woman who will keep making this same mistake, over and over.
One nice thing J.Lo appeared at Kamala Harriss Michigan town hall, hosted by Oprah. Jennifer appeared virtually! Shes a big Dem and she hates Trump.
