Tori Spelling posts a picture that gives bigtime ick vibes
"Beverly Hills, 90210" star Tori Spelling shared a photo of her seven-year-old son, Beau McDermott, giving her a massage as she lay under a sheet. A lot of people felt the ick factor immediately, but Tori cleared the air explaining, "I posted what I thought was a very cute photo of my 7-year-old son Beau, pretending…being the keyword…pretending to give me a massage." She clarified that the image was actually taken during a professional massage, with her therapist capturing the moment. She did admit a friend warned her there would be possible backlash if she posted it, and Tori said, "'Why? Everyone knows it's not real. Clearly, we are not at home….Clearly, I'm at a massage parlor." Maybe not so clearly, and that's what started the drama.
The NFL benefitted quite nicely from the publicity boost they got from Taylor Swift. Her attendance at NFL games to support her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, gave the league a boost of about $1 billion, which includes spikes in ticket sales and merchandise, especially among female fans. With Travis yet to announce whether he was returning for another season or retiring, the NFL is probably crossing their fingers he comes back.
Jessica Simpson is back in the recording studio after a lengthy hiatus, over 16 years since she last put out original music. The first song coming from Jessica is a very country-sounding titled "Use My Heart Against Me." Listening to the words, it seems her estranged husband may have provided some inspiration.
Colin Jost loves Scarlett Johansson so much, he went dumpster diving for her. Scarlett lost her engagement ring and thought she "accidentally threw it in the trash." He said he "looked through 12 dumpsters of trash" for it, and when he got back home, she told him she found it in her pocket.
Meghan Markle is getting blasted for copying Pamela Anderson, who has a Food Network Canada show called "Pamela's Cooking With Love." Fans point out that, for starters, Meghan's show is called "With Love, Meghan." Meghan is then getting called out for identical concepts, language, and overall aesthetics. There are some differences in the concepts, though, and one commenter notes that many lifestyle shows follow the same formula. As long as Meghan doesn't start off by saying, "Hi, I'm Pam Anderson," then they can't prove anything in a court of law, which we know is way different than the harsher court of public opinion.
