Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton have only recently stepped into the public eye as a couple, and according to people familiar with the situation, she is being deliberate about keeping the relationship insulated from outside complications, particularly those that might come from her ex-husband Kanye West. West has reportedly expressed interest in meeting Hamilton, the Formula 1 champion who has been spending time with the four children Kardashian and West share. But sources indicate that Kardashian is not ready to facilitate that introduction and is concerned about what could happen if her ex becomes involved too soon. Why Kim Kardashian…

Metabolism slowdown is one of those phrases that gets used loosely, but the biology behind it is fairly straightforward. A faster metabolism means the body is burning more energy at rest, using calories to power basic functions like breathing, circulation, and brain activity without any additional effort required. As metabolism slows, the body needs fewer calories to sustain those same functions, which means the energy balance that once felt effortless begins to shift. That shift is a natural part of aging. Hormonal changes, gradual muscle loss, and the cumulative effect of chronic health conditions all contribute to a metabolic rate…

Dwayne Johnson is bringing one of his most personal producing credits to a new platform. Fighting With My Family, the 2019 wrestling drama that premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, is being adapted as a stage musical, with Johnson’s production company Seven Bucks Productions among the collaborators on the project. The adaptation is being developed alongside director Stephen Merchant, producer Kevin Misher, Tilted Musicals, and the Birmingham Hippodrome. The original film told the true story of Saraya Knight, a young woman who grew up in a chaotic and deeply loving British wrestling family before earning her place in WWE under…

Whoopi Goldberg has anchored The View for nearly two decades, surviving controversies, co-host departures, and more than a few viral moments that have tested her standing at the table. Now, with the show approaching its 30th season, renewed speculation about her future has resurfaced, and those close to the production say the pressure may be coming from somewhere unexpected. According to insiders, the persistent chatter about Goldberg being pushed out is not originating from within the show’s production team. Rather, sources suggest the negative narrative is being deliberately cultivated by allies of political figures who have long had a contentious…

The woman accused of opening fire on Rihanna’s Beverly Hills home appeared in a Florida court on April 21, 2026, where a judge issued sweeping restrictions on her contact with her child. The ruling granted the child’s father full custody and complete time-sharing authority, leaving the accused with no access to the child unless the father personally approves an exception. The court also placed a hold on the ongoing custody proceedings, ordering that the case remain paused until the criminal matter tied to the Los Angeles shooting is fully resolved. The shooting took place on March 8, 2026, when the…

Jennifer Hudson returned to American Idol as a guest judge and mentor for the show’s Disney night episode on April 22, and the evening delivered a moment that went far beyond what anyone on the production team could have scripted. Contestant Keyla Richardson took the stage and performed Circle of Life from The Lion King, the same song Hudson had performed on that same stage during her time on the show’s third season more than two decades ago. Hudson was visibly overcome. Speaking with reporters after the live show wrapped, Hudson described the experience as a rush of memories and…

President Trump used a Tuesday television interview to encourage major corporations to forgo seeking refunds on tariffs that the Supreme Court ruled were unlawfully imposed, signaling that he would take note of which companies chose to walk away from money they were legally owed. The remarks came in response to a question about whether large importers, including some of the country’s biggest technology and retail companies, planned to request repayments now that the tariffs in question have been struck down. Trump described the decision not to seek a refund as a smart one, framing corporate forbearance as a kind of…

Teyana Taylor’s feature in People’s World’s Most Beautiful Issue was never going to be just about Teyana Taylor. The singer and actress used the platform to pay direct tribute to Janet Jackson, recreating the military-inspired cream ensemble Jackson wore during her 1993 to 1995 Janet World Tour. The choice was deliberate, deeply personal, and entirely on brand for someone who has made no secret of her devotion to one of music’s most iconic figures. Taylor has spoken openly for years about her admiration for Jackson, but this shoot went beyond a casual nod. She wanted to do something that felt…

A$AP Rocky has never been particularly guarded about his admiration for Rihanna, but a new W magazine cover story gave him a platform to articulate it with unusual depth and specificity. The rapper and style icon spoke at length about his partner, reflecting on how she has grown since they began their relationship and what he finds most extraordinary about the person she is today. Rocky described Rihanna as someone who has always operated on a different level philosophically, a quality he said has not changed even as the circumstances of their life together have shifted enormously. Becoming a mother,…

Serena Williams has signed on as the global brand ambassador for Heineken’s nonalcoholic lager in a multi-year deal that the tennis icon launched in characteristically bold fashion. Rather than a traditional press announcement, Williams kicked off the partnership by showing up unannounced at a pickleball facility in Miami, stepping in as a last-minute teammate for groups of unsuspecting players who had no idea they were about to share a court with a 23-time Grand Slam champion. The activation was framed as the first in an ongoing video series built around the concept of unexpected doubles pairings, developed in partnership with…
