Have I gotten really good at ignoring Kim Kardashian or has she been relatively quiet for months? She appeared at the Met Gala in May, she went to a wedding in India and? like, there?s been no real news or gossip about her in a while? Minus the gossip about how she sliced the top of her finger off. All of which to say, Kim has been out and about in New York this week and it feels like we haven?t seen her in months.
She wore a Miu Miu ensemble out to the Polo Bar (yellow sleeveless top and brown pants). North West is also with her on this trip, as is their dog?? Let me look this up? North West has two Pomeranians, Sushi and Sake. I hope North is taking good care of those dogs because Kim has a terrible track record with pets (RIP Mercy Kardashian-West). Kim was also spotted around 30 Rock, and she turned up on the Tonight Show on Wednesday:
People really do love SKIMS. Even people who dislike Kim sort of begrudgingly admit that SKIMS has some good stuff. Kim also talked about her new Ryan Murphy series, but the big headline is about her love life. She says she?s single and her kids are ready for her to date and they keep trying to set her up with people. Like, they?re creating lists of ?dream boyfriends for mom.? I like that Kim isn?t ready to jump into anything though. I do wonder who she?ll date next? my assumption has always been that her endgame-partner would be a lawyer or someone who reminds her of her dad.

Hoda Kotb turned 60 last Friday, August 9. To celebrate the big 6-0, her Today cohost, Jenna Bush Hager threw her an on-air birthday party on Monday. The celebration was really well-done, too. The audience was given shirts and party hats to set the mood. Jenna gifted Hoda a painting of her favorite photo of her and her daughters that she commissioned her dad, former President George W. Bush to paint (he signed it ?43? lmao). Some of Hodas good friends showed up for a segment. Producers played a sequence that checked in on three different families who Hoda?s interviewed in the past that spoke about her much she?d change their lives. There were also special birthday wishes from Hoda?s mom, daughters, and none other than Sandra Bullock. Sandra, who herself turned 60 on July 26, had an inspirational and funny message for her friend. It was a really nice birthday tribute.
I had so many brilliant and funny things prepared for you for this message that were just going to slay, but you know girl, Im just too tired, said Bullock, who turned 60 on Friday, July 26.
The Practical Magic star also thanked Kotb for being so incredible to so many people.
What you do for a living and how you have to shape-shift every single day, how you navigate your kindness, even when thats not whats coming your way, she said. How you are to those you care about and how you keep them safe, and just who you are as a human being. Were all pretty lucky to have you, especially your kids.
Bullock ended the video with a personal message for Kotb.
Happy birthday, my sweet friend. Thank you for allowing me to be in your circle, said Bullock. I feel very grateful. And I have your bar set up, up here, so we can look at the view. It?s pretty beautiful, but I need you up here. Happy birthday.
Kotb, the parents of daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, through adoption, got visibly emotional after watching the video message and expressed that she was inspired to become a mother after watching Bullocks motherhood journey.
?The reason that I have Haley and Hope is because when I was looking for inspiration of somebody who was a mom at my age, Sanda Bullock popped up and I called her and I said, Tell me about motherhood,' recalled Kotb. And she said, ?It is the best decision I ever made. And from that moment forward, she led the way to these two girls.
[From People]
That was a really sweet message from Sandra. She very rarely makes public appearances like this, which makes the whole video extra lovely. I had no idea that they were so close and had never heard that story before about Sandy being a supportive inspiration behind Hoda?s decision to adopt Haley and Hope. I must have missed it because Hoda did talk about it on-air back in 2018. How awesome is that?
As for her message, I love that Sandra is out there letting women and anyone else who needs to hear it that 60 isn?t the scary number taboo that it?s been made out to be in the past. Sure, it may not always feel great as we?re forced to embrace the changes our bodies go through as we get older, but every additional day, month, and year is a blessing. And Sandy addressed those changes with her joke about being too tired to think of a clever message. I?m only 40 and I feel that way almost every single day, ha. Happy Birthday to Hoda! May 60 be her best year yet.

A lot of you guys have complicated opinions about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Not only that, you guys seem to have a lot of theories about who is briefing what and why. Having been a gossip consumer for decades, I feel like this is one of the rare situations where we can just take stuff at face value and assume that the gossip is flowing steadily from Jennifer?s camp and Ben?s camp. If a report says that Ben is over it and Jennifer is mad about it, I believe it and it?s probably coming from both sides. If something seems like it?s obviously Ben?s perspective, then it probably came from his people, and vice versa with J.Lo. Two months ago, I would have said that there was more nuance and gossip gamesmanship, but now, as we can see clearly that the marriage is over and that Ben said sayonara, all of these reports and gossip items are coming from both sides. J.Lo is pissed and it?s spilling out. Ben is a selfish ahole and he doesn?t care who knows. It is what it is. Well, People Mag has a piece on Ben?s perspective these days:
Ben Affleck is spending significant time working this summer, as rumors continue to swirl regarding his marriage to Jennifer Lopez.
A source tells PEOPLE that Affleck, 51, has not yet moved into the home in Los Angeles that he recently purchased and is still living in the rental home in Brentwood, Calif., where he was staying in May, when sources first said that he and Lopez, 55, were living separately.
?Ben?s doing well. He thrives when he?s busy and he?s been working nonstop, the source says. The kids are still off from school. He spends a lot of time with them, too.
Affleck and Lopezs marriage has been the subject of significant public scrutiny since May, though the pair put on a united front at his daughter Violets high school graduation that same month. The couple, who married in 2022, have spent much of the summer apart after Lopez canceled her tour and subsequently spent much of the past two months on vacation in Europe and in the Hamptons, New York. Lopez recently returned to L.A. and began searching for a new home after they listed the Beverly Hills mansion they purchased together in May 2023.
It hasn?t been the easiest summer for him either, the source adds. He?s just trying to stay focused and make every day as good as possible.?
[From People]
?He thrives when he?s busy and he?s been working nonstop? I remember back at the start of the year, when I thought Bennifer would be forever, I looked at Ben and J.Lo?s work schedules for this year and I was surprised by how they were both booked up like crazy. This was back when J.Lo thought she was going on tour as well (a tour which she canceled). All of which to say, Ben has been working a lot this year, and Jennifer was supposed to as well. He?s probably using work as an excuse for why he can?t engage with Jen or work through their bullsh-t. ?It hasn?t been the easiest summer for him either? my dude, you left her. I?m not surprised that Ben is trying to milk some sympathy for himself though. He?s done it before.

President Biden dropped out of his reelection campaign and endorsed Kamala Harris on July 21. Within 48 hours, VP Harris had raised $250 million and locked down enough delegates to become the Democratic nominee. Hilariously, one of the first things the new Harris campaign did was lock down Beyonce?s ?Freedom? as their go-to campaign song for rallies and ads. Beyonce personally authorized VP Harris the use of the song and we should absolutely take that as Beyonce endorsing VP Harris. The campaign has also already gotten Bon Iver to perform at a rally, and Tim Walz apparently loves Bruce Springsteen, so his rally song is ?Born to Run.? I assume the Boss authorized that as well.
What?s also hilarious is that no artist wants their music played at Donald Trump?s rallies. At all. This was an issue in 2016 and 2020. Even Adele an artist beloved by Trump had to come out and say, absolutely not, stop using my music at your rallies. Well, the latest artist to send a cease & desist is Celine Dion. First, please enjoy the Trump campaign using ?My Heart Will Go On? at their Montana rally on Friday:
Is Trump?s campaign being trolled from within? Someone on his staff decided to play Celine Dion singing ?My Heart Will Go On? from Titanic at his Montana rally. Many consider Titanic a metaphor for Trump?s sinking campaign. pic.twitter.com/dVbNjVylel

Here are some photos of Blake Lively and Isabela Ferrer at the photocall and premiere for It Ends With Us in London on Thursday. Blake?s white suit at the photocall was Stella McCartney? which makes sense (awful sense). For the premiere, Blake wore Tamara Ralph Couture, and Isabela wore Burberry. I think it?s interesting that Blake chose Tamara Ralph (formerly of Ralph & Russo) Blake doesn?t have one go-to designer for every carpet, but usually she goes for bigger name labels or designers. That being said, the dress is blandly pretty, so much so that I thought this was Elie Saab or Monique Lhuillier. The furry coat/cape.stole is interesting but not with this dress. At least Blake?s hair looks good?
Meanwhile, it appears that Justin Baldoni did not make the trip to London to promote the movie. That?s weird he was in New York and he attended the NYC premiere a few days ago. He didn?t pose with anyone from the film though. In case you?re wondering, Baldoni plays the domestic-abuser husband in the film AND Baldoni also directed this mess, with Blake and Colleen Hoover stepping in as co-executive producers. Since IEWU?s promotion ramped up, people have been noticing that Blake and Justin are not interacting on the promo tour at all, not even to pose together on a red carpet.
Social media users are convinced that It Ends With Us costars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni have become embroiled in a fierce feud after they noticed some suspicious behavior between the two cast members. The highly-anticipated movie, based off Colleen Hoovers novel of the same name, is set to hit theaters on Friday, August 9. But some fans believe Blake, 36, has beef with Justin, 40 who on top of acting in the film, also directed it after claiming they spotted some tension between the stars at the New York City premiere earlier this week.
Blake and Justin didnt pose for any pictures together at the event, despite playing the two main characters and love interests in the flick. She happily took photos with her other costars like Jenny Slate and Brandon Sklenar, but not Justin. Two days later, Blake attended a photo call in London for the film with some of the other stars but Justin was mysteriously absent.
In addition, the two havent done any press together in the weeks leading up to the films release. Instead, Blake sat down for an interview with her costar, Brandon, last month; she and Brandon also participated in a promotional video with It Ends With Us stars Alex Neustaedter and Isabela Ferrer, but Justin had no part in it.
Eagle-eyed social media users also noticed that both Blake and author Colleen unfollowed Justin on Instagram recently. Between their lack of interactions and the social media move, many people on the web are wondering if there was drama between Blake and Justin on set.
[From The Daily Mail]
Two things make me believe the beef is real: not posing together on the red carpet in NYC AND Lively and Hoover unfollowing him. Even when costars hate each other, producers will convince them to pose together (however briefly) at the premiere, even if it?s part of a larger group. There was none of that at the NYC premiere, and obviously, he didn?t even come to the London leg of the promotion. Something absolutely went down. Ive seen some people theorizing that Baldoni didnt appreciate Blake trying to whitewash the domestic violence storyline? There are rumors about Ryan Reynolds getting too involved in the production too.

Here are some photos from last night?s New York premiere of It Ends With Us. I?m also including some of Blake?s flower-intensive promotional looks from this week too. As we discussed, Blake?s IEWU character is named Lily Bloom. She works as a florist. Blake is Captain Obvious. Blake chose a very special ?floral? look for the premiere a vintage Versace dress once worn by Britney Spears in 2002. Blake told People Mag at the premiere that it was actually the same dress Britney wore. The fact that Blake can fit into that dress after four kids? Kind of amazing. Sidenote: this early-2000s Versace era was so good, Donatella had taken over from her late brother and she was really going lighter and brighter.
As always, Ryan Reynolds joined Blake at her premiere. Hugh Jackman came out as well, because I guess Hugh is part of the Lively-Reynolds family now (lucky him). I don?t begrudge Blake the support she?s the executive producer on this film, the source material for which (arguably) romanticizes domestic violence and she?s really trying to hype it.
I?m not looking up the fashion IDs on all of Blake?s floral looks but the ensemble with the chaps is insane. All of these looks are pretty tragic, actually.

Look who?s back in LA! Jennifer Lopez traveled to her home in the Hamptons before the Fourth of July. She was there for well over a month a month full of chaos, divorce rumors and apparently little to no communication with Ben Affleck. Now she?s back in LA and she?s shopping for real estate. That?s what these photos show J.Lo was checking out a property in Bel Air.
As for all of the gossip? the past 48 hours have been a whirlwind of briefings from ?sources.? Chatty-ass sources are spilling their guts about Bennifer to TMZ, the Mail, Entertainment Tonight, Page Six and People Magazine. The broad strokes: Ben and Jen are not speaking to one another, they?re communicating through their managers, they will eventually file for divorce but they want to work out the details before they announce anything, and there?s a great deal of humiliation and embarrassment for all involved. In case you need some of that repackaged by People Magazine, here you go:
Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck are considering next steps as their summer winds down. The Atlas actress, 55, hasnt seen Ben for weeks, a source tells PEOPLE. Shes been spending time in New York City and the Hamptons, where she held a large birthday bash with friends and family, sans Affleck, 51. Affleck, meanwhile, has mostly been spending time in Los Angeles, and Lopez recently returned back to L.A.
They?re moving on separately. Jennifer is trying to find a new home to start fresh, adds the source.
Signs that their marriage was in a bad place became evident in May, when sources said Lopez and Affleck were living under separate roofs. They put on a united front at graduation gatherings and other family milestones but later embarked on separate summer plans. They marked their two-year wedding anniversary apart in July.
Considering everything thats going on, Jennifer is having a good summer, the source says. Shes been off and able to focus on whats next. She?s enjoyed spending time with her kids, family and friends.
She always has good attitude even when things are not perfect, adds the source.
[From People]
Some of you are reading the tea leaves and saying that Ben was the one who pulled the ripcord months ago and he decided it was over. Jen spent a few months trying to make him chase her, but something shifted in recent weeks when he skipped her birthday and apparently didn?t even call her. Now she?s on the separation/divorce train too and trying to save face. Here?s the thing? I?m already primed to take her side, honestly. Like, if it went down like that and Ben was suddenly over it and began slow-walking the divorce, I?m absolutely on her side. Anyway? what if they announce everything on Ben?s birthday, the 15th?

Just a few weeks ago, I was much more hopeful about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. While I thought they were going through a bad patch, I took hope in the fact that J.Lo seemed to want to stay married to Ben, and that she seemed to believe that she could win him back somehow. But nowadays? it looks pretty bad. How did we go from ?J.Lo is trying to make Ben chase her? to ?they hate each other and they aren?t even speaking anymore?? That?s apparently the state of play, at least according to TMZ:
Things are not amicable between Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck the lines of communication are closed and its making it difficult to hammer out a divorce agreement. Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ? J Lo and Ben are not speaking to one another in person or over the phone and its really slowing down their divorce.
Ben and Jens icy relationship is really the only thing preventing this from being a quickie divorce were told they have a prenup and the only asset they have to divide is their Beverly Hills mansion, which is on the market.
Our sources say J Lo and Ben have NOT hired lawyers and are instead having everything go through their respective business managers, who are trying to figure out the financials behind the divorce but its complicated because the principals are not talking.
TMZ broke the stories the estranged couples Bev Hills estate is on the market for $68 million and Ben just closed on his own $20.5 million mansion in Brentwood, as Jen remains on the hunt for a house of her own. Ben closed escrow on the house the same day Jennifer turned 55 thats just a coincidence, but we do know there is no love lost between the two.
Ben and J Lo will eventually hire divorce lawyers, and were told no documents will be filed until they reach a settlement. They will file legal docs requesting a divorce, the judge will sign it and that will be that. But until Ben and Jen start talking again, things will continue moving at a snails pace.
[From TMZ]
My thing is that I simply don?t believe that any of this was about money, nor do I think the financial part of a seemingly inevitable divorce is the sticking point. The fact that their business managers are apparently doing the negotiating is WILD, but it also points to this whole thing being deeply unserious. Like? if you?re getting a divorce, grow up and hire a fking lawyer. You?re both in your 50s, stop playing telephone games and passing messages through Benny Medina and whoever. I sort of believe that they?re trying to be super-quiet about whatever negotiations are going on behind the scenes, but I also believe that both Ben and Jennifer are incredibly embarrassed. Like, this marriage blew up in both of their faces and they both look like idiots. That?s the biggest reason for the slow-moving divorce they?re both like ?wow, our images are going to take a huge hit when we file for divorce.?

I know there are a lot of big Blake Lively fans out there, so I?ll try to be as nice as possible, even though Blake and her allure of antebellum pluck my last nerve. Blake?s promotion for It Ends With Us began last week, and she?s using the movie promotion to also launch her haircare line, Blake Brown. Blake stepped into an executive producer role for It Ends With Us, and she?s actually co-EP with author Colleen Hoover. Meaning, Hoover had a big say in how her book was adapted for the screen. This should make fans of the book happy. Months/years after BookTok made IEWU into a massive hit, I was basically the last one to figure out that the core story is actually about domestic violence. Like, it?s not a straight romance it?s a story about abuse.
Blake?s character in IEWU is named Lily Bloom. Guess what Lily Bloom does for a living? She co-owns some kind of florist?s shop. If you need to be bashed over the head with this, Blake?s promotional fashion tour features a lot of florals and flowery designs and prints. Last week and over the weekend, Blake did a promo blitz which included some cute dresses and one completely wacky ensemble which involved clashing prints. Awful.
Here?s a Dauphinette look this is one of her few looks we have access to, photo-wise. You can see the Mail?s fashion coverage here. I wonder if Blake thought she was doing a really big fashion tour which would dominate the celebrity/fashion media, but not enough paparazzi turned up? Because that?s what it feels like.

For the past two months, the vibes have been horrendous when it comes to Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. Initially, it seemed like they were having issues and they just needed a break from each other, or maybe they just needed to reconnect and work on their marriage. Then Jennifer flew to the Hamptons and Ben stayed in LA. Rumors abound that their marriage ?has been over for months? and they have ?deeper issues? beyond Ben?s discomfort with J.Lo?s fame. Then on J.Lo?s birthday last week, Ben stayed away. Not only that, but he closed escrow on his new bachelor pad ON her birthday. As I?ve said throughout the week, I truly believe a divorce announcement will happen soon. The Daily Mail believes the same:
Jennifer Lopezs love may not cost a thing, but her divorce to Ben Affleck sure will. Friends have claimed to DailyMail.com the 51-year-old Last Duel actor and the superstar singer, 55, are once again pushing ahead with divorce after a final attempt at reconciliation in recent weeks failed.
The couples divorce documents are finalized, but not yet turned in, multiple sources have claimed.
The news follows Affleck buying a new $20.5 million bachelor pad mansion in the Pacific Palisades on Wednesday, July 24, the day Lopez turned 55. Friends of Lopezs claimed Afflecks sudden bachelor pad purchase on her birthday had been a stab to the heart.
July 24 also marked the day Lopez also finalized the sale of her four-bedroom New York City penthouse for $23 million, People reported.
?They finalized the divorce papers with her a month ago, but are waiting for the right time to drop them, one source close to the duo claimed. At that time, they will release a joint statement that will say how they have much love for each other and how they fought to make it work, but couldnt. Honestly, in the end they could not come to a compromise. What they had before is gone and they have both accepted it, another source claimed.
[From The Daily Mail]
Oh god, what if Ben told Jennifer that she can announce their divorce in her On The JLo newsletter? What if she?s been putting it off because she still believes they can reconcile? I don?t know. I hate to say it, but I actually think the Mail is correct I think Ben and Jen have already worked out everything behind the scenes and they?re just waiting for the right moment to drop the news. I think their marriage really is over. It?s really sad. Jennifer must be devastated, honestly. I hate to do this, but I?m once again using the photos from the This Is Me? Now premiere in February, which is where many of us got our first inkling that Ben had checked out of this marriage big-time.
