Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker may be celebrating their love, but the critics are out in full force. They're not pleased with their "disrespectful" Catholic wedding. According to "Page Six," the issue is the Catholic imagery used in the couple's Italian nuptials. Kourtney wore a white Dolce & Gabbana mini dress with a dramatic veil, which was emblazoned with the image of the Virgin Mary – a nod to a tattoo Travis has inked on the top of his head. While he's said that he was raised in the church, it's not clear whether she was. However, she's shared plenty of texts about faith, quotes, and Bible passages via her Instagram Stories over the years.
Of course, the haters had no problem coming for what one person called the Catholic "aesthetic" of the nuptials. Another said, "I just really feel like Travis & Kourtney['s] wedding is mocking the catholic religion? They don't symbolize religious people at all, just feels like mockery. I'm not catholic but just doesn't sit right with me." Someone else was offended by her short gown. People also slammed the family for being a walking commercial for Dolce & Gabbana. According to one critic, "Dolce & Gabbana have been trying to revive their brand for problematic body shaming and racist comments. So this display is a real bargain for the Kar-Jenners and a real media coup for D&G." Naturally, the newlyweds haven't said a word about any of this.
After being mentioned by Amber Heard in her testimony earlier this month, "People" reports that supermodel Kate Moss is set to testify in the defamation trial between Heard and Johnny Depp. Heard talked about an altercation between Depp and Heard's sister, Whitney Henriquez, while Moss was present. Heard testified that Depp was fighting with Moss on the top of a staircase when he swung at Henriquez, who Heard says was trying to break up the altercation, saying "I just, in my head, instantly think of Kate Moss and stairs." Depp's lawyers were visibly excited when Heard mentioned Moss's name; the assumption is because it gave them a reason to bring Moss in to clear up the incident Heard testified about, an event she also mentioned on the stand in Depp's U.K. defamation trial in 2020. Moss is scheduled to testify through a video link tomorrow.
Enjoying a night out in London while filming the third "Magic Mike" movie, Channing Tatum allegedly had a group of diners kicked out of the restaurant they were in after "sticking up his middle finger" at the people. A source tells the "Daily Mail'' that the group of six were eating and taking pictures of each other, but "Channing thought they were taking pictures of him, and he furiously stuck his middle finger up at them.

Rumors have been swirling that after two years of dating, MrBeast and GF Maddy Spidell have split. That's not where the rumors end though.

Halsey took to "TikTok'' this weekend to complain that her label would not let her release a new song "unless they can fake a viral moment on TikTok," and that has caused quite a stir on social media. The video quickly accumulated over 1.1 million likes, and a fan quickly seemed to point out the obvious, asking if the clip is now, "the viral marketing video…" that the label may have been looking for." But apparently it may not be, with Halsey responding, "They said wow this TikTok is going really strong. I was like ok cool can I release my song?' they said 'we'll see,'" adding, "Tell me again how I'm making this up." For their part, reps for the label Astralwerks-Capitol did respond to the controversy, telling "Rolling Stone," "Our belief in Halsey as a singular and important artist is total and unwavering," noting, "We can't wait for the world to hear their brilliant new music." But Halsey argues the statement really doesn't mean much. "I'm not signed to astralwerks anymore! Astralwerks is the label that signed me, and then they upstreamed me to Capitol," she tweets. "This quote came from the company who believed in me from the jump. Not the company I'm wrestling with right now." While some fans suggested Halsey drop it anyway, she insists she can't because she doesn't own the master and is signed to a contract. Even though Halsey can't release it, there is a chance fans may hear the song soon. The singer is currently on her "Love and Power" tour, and when someone suggested Halsey just play it live, they responded, "im thinking about it tbh."
Family is everything to Will Smith. According to "The New York Post," he opened up about it on the fourth season of "My Next Guest Needs No Introduction." The Oscar winner discussed his recent memoir, "Will," and his parents' contentious relationship with David Letterman. "The first line of the first chapter is, 'I've always thought of myself as a coward,'" he said. "When I was 9 years old, I saw my father beat up my mother, and I didn't do anything. And that just left a traumatic impression of myself as a coward." The former Fresh Prince also spoke on protecting his loved ones. He told Dave, "Protection and safety is an illusion. You have to learn to live with the reality that any moment, anything can be gone in one second." Those hoping to see Will delve into why he slapped Chris Rock on the Oscars stage are out of luck because this was recorded before the incident.

Glass Animals star Dave Bayley tells "GQ" magazine that he got a tattoo on his rear end after 'Heat Waves' went to number one. "I made a bet with someone that I would get a tattoo on my rear if we went to number one. Well, I'm a man of my word. My tattoo is healing pretty well. But a couple of days ago it was really itchy.

Isaiah Lee – the man accused of attacking Dave Chappelle on stage at the Hollywood Bowl – is speaking out about why. From what he told the "New York Post," he's blaming the comedian. "I identify as bisexual … and I wanted him to know what he said was triggering," the 23-year-old said from the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles. "I wanted him to know that next time, he should consider first running his material by people it could affect." Isaiah went on to say that Dave's jokes about homelessness were also upsetting. "I'm also a single dad and my son is five. It's a struggle and I wanted Dave Chappelle to know it's not a joke," he explained. He was also outdone with, earlier jokes in the night (made by an opener, it seems) talking pedophilia rocked Lee as well. He says he was sexually abused as a minor.
Kylie Jenner gave us a glimpse into Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker's picturesque Italian wedding, but she also showed us that it wasn't as big as it seemed.

Fans who saw Kylie's videos quickly took to social media to share their thoughts. Here's the thing…it actually IS the "serving size," but it's still small
Remember that guitar Kurt Cobain used in the 1991 "Smells Like Teen Spirit" video? "Billboard" reports that it just sold at auction for WAY more than expected. It was originally expected to bring in around $600-thousand. What did it actually go for? $4.5-million. That bud was courtesy of Jim Irsay, the CEO of the Indianapolis Colts. He's pledged that a portion of proceeds will go to his/the team's mental health charity, Kicking The Stigma. The Cobain family will also be donating a portion to this org, too.
After hearing endless comparisons of himself to Harry Styles, The Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger is giving his opinion on what the two have in common and spoiler alert… it isn't much. Mick Jagger recently shared his opinions on Harry's style compared to his during an interview for "The Sunday Times." According to him, besides a "superficial resemblance," that Harry "can't help," there's nothing else to compare. "I mean, I used to wear a lot more eye make-up than him. Come on, I was much more androgynous," Jagger said. "And he doesn't have a voice like mine or move on stage like me; he just has a superficial resemblance to my younger self, which is fine — he can't help that." While Jagger's comments may have come off a little harsh, he made clear he has a good friendship with Harry, who has listed the 78-year-old as one of his biggest musical inspirations. "I like Harry — we have an easy relationship," he clarified.
