Taylor Swift shaded by an ex's mom
Taylor Swift caught some major shade from the mom of her ex, The 1975's frontman Matty Healy. Denise Welch admitted while she doesn't "have anything against her at all," she's glad she's not Taylor's mother-in-law during an appearance on "Watch What Happens Live." When Denise was asked about Taylor's "Tortured Poets Department" album, she referred to Taylor's habit of turning her past relationships into music and said, "you're not allowed to say anything, and then she writes a whole album about it." She then pointed out that her son has moved on, adding, "He is very happy with his amazing fiancée Gabbriette [Bechtel]."
Gwyneth Paltrow has been hired as a "temporary spokesperson" for data company Astronomer. Yes, the same data company that went from obscure to "everyone knows their name" two weeks ago when their CEO and their Chief People Officer had their affair outed on the Kiss-Cam at a Coldplay concert. Now the company is well-known for all the wrong reasons, so in a fairly brilliant move, the company reached out to Gwyneth, who also happens to be the ex-wife of Coldplay singer Chris Martin. They hired Gwyneth to film a minute-long video that addresses people's questions about the affair, but she answers with information about the company instead. For example, "OMG! What the actual…" was answered with, "Yes, Astronomer is the best place to run a patchy airflow."
"Real Housewives" alum Vicki Gunvalson says she's battling the same parasite that's been affecting Brandi Glanville. On "Jeff Lewis Live," Vicki was asked if it came from their time filming "Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco" together, Vicki said,"100 percent!," adding that everyone got sick in Morocco. She shared, "Brandi is in so much pain. She's got a very large parasite," which she claims "moves" and even goes into Brandi's mouth. As for her own symptoms, Vicki revealed her gut is "loaded" with parasites. Meanwhile, Brandi is in so much pain, her face is "literally melting away," she's spent close to $70,000 trying to find answers to her disfiguration, and she has even consulted "Botched" surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow for answers. "Ultimate Girls Trip: Morocco" was filmed back in 2023 but was never released due to accusations surrounding Brandi and her cast-mate Caroline Manzo.
Sofia Vergara is healing up after her second knee surgery in just over a year. She posted a pic smiling in her hospital bed Friday, as well as one of her right leg with a bandage, and the caption "Its done! Round 2" followed by praying hands and two heart emojis. While it's nice to know even perfect people aren't always perfect, it is a little frustrating that she still looks so perfect from the hospital bed. And now that she's got a bionic knee, she's back to being as perfect, if not more perfect than she was before.
