Night Crumbs
There used to be a segment on the Today show called Where In The World Is Matt Lauer? (and little did we know that the answer to that question was: allegedly sexually assaulting co-workers). But recently, viewers have been asking Where In The World Is Hoda Kotb? Hoda Kotb hasn’t been on Today for over a week, and she’s recently been leaving messages from Home Goods signs on her Instagram that read, “Choose Hope” and “Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.” On top of that, her co-host Savannah Guthrie had to exit mid-show today after testing positive for COVID-19. But the show still hasn’t said why Hoda’s off. Maybe Hoda finally snapped and quit on the spot after her fourth-hour co-host Jenna Bush Hager went on about not wearing chonies for the 10,000th time. That would break even the strongest (UPDATE: It was explained on Today that Hoda is away dealing with a family health matter.) – Entertainment Tonight
Courteney Cox got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame yesterday, and two of her Friends, Jennifer Aniston and Lisa Kudrow, braved the cold (it’s L.A., okay?) to support her. But the dude Friends were nowhere to be seen. Not sure where David Schwimmer and Matt LeBlanc were, but I’m guessing that Matthew Perry wasn’t there because he’s been rightfully banned from every Hollywood event for daring to shit on international treasure Keanu Reeves – Lainey Gossip
Adele And Rich Paul Might Be Engaged
Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: Adele was spotted wearing a big diamond ring on that finger, and people are speculating that she and sports agent Rich Paul are engaged. The Daily Mail reports that, over the weekend, Adele rocked the rock in front of over 4,000 fans at her Vegas show. It appears to be the same ring she wore last year to the 2022 BRIT Awards, which suggests 34-year-old Adele and 41-year-old Rich have been engaged for a year. Instagram gossip monger Deux Moi claims that, per their “very reliable sources,” the couple is planning a summer wedding. Adele’s a real tease (when it comes to gossip about her love life), so I doubt she’ll address the rumors. At least not until she uploads a tearful Instagram video to announce she’s postponing the wedding for nearly a year due to “delivery delays and COVID”.
Since He’s Done Talking About His Accent, Austin Butler Is Back To Talking About Being Hospitalized After “Elvis” Wrapped
Since you all made fun of that Elvis boy’s accent so much, Austin Butler has had to pivot his entire Oscars campaign back to focusing on the toll playing Elvis Presley took on the rest of his body. At least he can finally give his vocal chords a rest; right after they stop singing Hallelujah! At the very beginning of his Oscar campaign way back in May, Austin talked about how his body “just started shutting down the day after I finished Elvis” and he had to be rushed to the hospital. Now, with only a week to go before his big night, Austin dropped a bucket down into his well of anecdotes, only to have it come back up filled with dust.
Open Post: Hosted By Drake Talking About How He Disguised Himself As An Old Man To Go To His Friend’s Court Hearing Without Being Recognized
During a video interview with Lil Yachty, published on the FUTUREMOOD YouTube channel last Friday, Drake spilled the tea on how he endured three hours of prosthetics just to support a friend who had to appear in a court hearing. Take notes, Sacha Baron Cohen. This doesn’t come as a surprise since Drake has a long history of cringe rich people antics, like making a necklace of unused engagement rings, buying friends luxury toilets, and, worst of all, taking Julia Fox on a date. Thoughts and prayers go out to anyone who still takes this man seriously.
Shakira Did A Candid Interview About Her Split From Gerard Pique, And Said “There Is A Place In Hell” For Women Who Don’t Support Other Women
Shakira has had a rough couple of years; the Spanish government charged her with tax fraud, she got attacked by wild boars, and her relationship with Gerard Pique ended after he cheated with 23-year-old Clara Chia. Since the split, 46-year-old Shakira’s been pretty open about her anger towards 36-year-old Gerard. See: her diss track and the balcony witch she faced towards her soon-to-be former mother-in-law’s house. Now, Shakira’s condemning the other woman to infierno! The Independent reports that, during a candid interview on the Mexican program, En Punto con Enrique Acevedo, Shakira said, “There is a special place in hell for women who don’t support other women.” Well, at least Clara Chia will have some company while she’s burning up down there: Amy Poehler and Tina Fey!
Jon Hamm Got Engaged To His Girlfriend Of Two Years, Anna Osceola
Back in 2022 when John Hamm was out promoting his film, Confess, Fletch, there were two talking points he found pertinent: assuring everyone that despite his oft-visible Hammaconda’s years-long run leading everyone to believe he was against underwear, he’s never gone without them; and that he was very in love with his girlfriend at the time, Anna Osceola. While it’s still hard to believe that he’s never gone commando, it seems like he was telling the truth about his love for Anna; because People confirmed they’re engaged, though neither of the betrothed shared more details.
