What is about Nicole Richie’s kids being grown up that is such an “I’m old as the earth” jump scare? Jessica Alba’s daughters are around the same age but it’s not as startling to see them all grown up because they’ve been shared on social media for years.
I don’t think I’ve seen a photo of Nicole Richie’s son… ever?
Earlier this week, Lainey wrote about Bennifer 2.0 outlasting the first version and in her personal life, it seems like Jennifer Lopez has gotten everything she has dreamed of. But much like the first time around, her professional life is taking some hits. This time, it’s not from the media glare but rather something more difficult to pinpoint, a shift in her place in the culture. As much as Jennifer loves love, she also loves work. And what does that work look like now?
She hasn’t posted about JLo Beauty in ages and I suspect that will wind down. The thing with JLo is in terms of products, there’s no jewel in her crown. JLo Beauty and Delola didn’t get there. There’s no central success that everything is built around. That’s what she needs and it might take some pulling back and refocusing to get there.
Anya Taylor-Joy got married two years ago in New Orleans – the very intricate, delicate dress is Dior. The photos she shared look like an editorial shoot, very well done and gothic and dreamy. Cara Delevingne and photographer Sebastian Faena are credited for the pictures. I’ve mentioned Cara’s wide social circle before, she is liked and trusted by many. She is the celebrity at the secret wedding who doesn’t turn around and tell the Taylor Swift squad at dinner. She has a lot of social capital.
There’s something about these moody selfies that has me thinking Channing Tatum could play Lee McQueen in a biopic.
US Weekly is one outlet continuing to report on the Diddy allegations, with one story about him going “downhill” after Kim Porter died. Obviously this was devastating for their family, but some of the allegations pre-date her death. The other is that some celebrities are scared of him and his hidden cameras. Now I despise celebrity conspiracy theories but I think if we remove the QAnon/Illuminati stuff, there is something to be said about going off at parties. If people were doing drugs (technically illegal) or having sex (with other consenting adults), well that shouldn’t be the end of the world. The problem is that there’s so much conspiracy theory brain rot that these things are conflated with real crimes like sex trafficking and minors, so the blackmail fears are real. If someone did a line at a Diddy party or had sex in the bathroom (and I’m guessing a few prominent people did!), they are freaking out right now because no one wants near this stink. Interesting that the source calls him “vindictive.”
