After a year of dating, Channing Tatum and Jessie J broke up back in November 2019 but it didn’t stick. By January 2020 they were back together, and more “together” than we’d seen them, walking red carpets, flaunting their love during Grammys weekend Full Story

Lana Del Rey is now single. She was dating Sean Larkin from Live PD but he was just profiled in the NY Times and confirmed that it’s over. Lana was seen with a friend yesterday in LA before the lockdown order. And while people are now anticipating a breakup album, she seems good – like Adele seems good. Full Story

Ben Affleck’s candid interview with The New York Times came out yesterday and today the first part of his interview with Diane Sawyer aired on Good Morning America and he’s equally as forthcoming about alcoholism and dealing with the breakdown of his marriage. Full Story

It hasn’t been a good start to the new decade for the British royal family. Their biggest problem right now – or at least it should be – is Prince Andrew.

According to their source, the split is amicable and they’re still good friends.  If this is true, because Us Weekly is not what it used to be and they don’t have the contacts that they once did, I’m surprised – are you?
