Ashanti and Nelly sparked pregnancy rumors in 2023 after the couple reunited 10 years post-breakup. The pair first dated in 2003 after meeting at a press conference for the Grammy Awards. However, the “Foolish” singer and “Hot in Here” rapper always remained tight-lipped about their love, barely acknowledging their relationship publicly.

Twenty years later, in September 2023, Nelly confirmed their reconciliation on Boss Moves with Rasheeda. The now-49-year-old explained, “I think it surprised both of us.” The same day, Ashanti hard-launched their renewed relationship. The 43-year-old carried a custom clutch with a photo of her and Nelly on it to the 2023 MTV VMAs. Then, in October 2023, the pair became Instagram official.

At the news of “Harry Potter” alum Michael Gambon’s death, his castmates have taken to social media to memorialize his performance as Albus Dumbledore in six of the eight films adapted from J.K. Rowling’s book series.
The author wrote about her first memory of Gambon, which involved his performance in “King Lear” in 1982.
“If you’d told me then that brilliant actor would appear in anything I’d written, I’d have thought you were insane. Michael was a wonderful man in additional to being an outstanding actor,” Rowling wrote. “I absolutely loved working with him, not only on Potter but also The Casual Vacancy.

The 2023 MTV Video Music Awards did not disappoint in terms of solid, energetic performances as well as chaos that fit the brand of the award show. From Sabrina Carpenter’s opening performance and raunchy improvisation at the end of “Nonsense,” to Taylor Swift fangirling over the Nsync Reunion, pop culture fed itself many times over Tuesday night. Shakira and Diddy gave comprehensive glimpses into their careers before receiving the Video Vanguard and the Global Icon Awards, respectively.
What looked like a dangerous stage malfunction for Olivia Rodrigo’s set during “Vampire” transitioned as planned into a live performance of “get him back!” and what looked like an error turned out to be a live re-enactment of the “Vampire” music video. Doja Cat, Demi Lovato and many more also brought the house down with their sets.

In an ultimate show-must-go-on moment in country music history, Wynonna Judd was not about to let the legacy of the Judds slip quietly into the sunset, rather than go out as spectacularly as intended, after her mother, Naomi Judd, died by suicide in April 2022. And so the Judds farewell tour that had been scheduled for last fall did proceed, against all probabilities, with a bevy of top stars trading places as Naomi’s stand-in each night. The emotional end of that road was captured for not just one but two new specials premiering on different Paramount platforms — “Wynonna Judd: Between Hell and Hallelujah,” a feature-length documentary that debuted Wednesday on Paramount+, and “The Judds: Love Is Alive — The Final Concert,” a two-hour performance special bowing tonight on CMT at 8 p.m. Et/Pt.

Some musicians never reveal their secrets. John Mayer, however, recently offered some insight into one of his most controversial songs. During the Sacramento, CA stop of his solo acoustic tour on April 8, the singer stopped to talk about "Paper Doll," a song long believed to be written about his ex, Taylor Swift. "I wonder if people don't like it because it sounds a little pissed off," he said, adding that this isn't entirely accurate. "I don't really like 'pissed off' as a song. I think it was more hurt."
Mayer admitted that the song could be perceived as slightly bitter. "Is there something about it that's a little b*tchy?" he asked. "There might be. I try not to give b*tchiness in the songs, it happens sometimes. I guess I don't do it very well - sarcastic b*tch - but I didn't really see it.

It’s a well known secret that reality shows are often scripted, with producers orchestrating the drama behind the scenes. However, one Catfish insider recently revealed that the MTV reality show is all too real.
‘Catfish’ was based on a documentary about a fake online relationship (L-r) ‘Catfish’ Executive Producer and host Nev Schulman and host Max Joseph | Jason Kempin/Getty Images for MTV
Catfish: The TV Show is based on a 2010 movie of the same name. Both the movie and the show center on the world of online dating. The documentary follows Nev Schulman as he discovers that he has been the victim of a catfish — a.k.a. someone pretending to be someone else online.
The reality show, much like the documentary, follows real people as they work to figure out if the person they’ve been talking to online is fact or fiction. Schulman serves as the host alongside Max Joseph.

Keith canceled the remainder of his 2022 shows during treatment, but despite the toll the disease has taken on his body, he couldn’t miss performing in Kentucky for the Breeders’ Cup horse races this week.

Friends said he wanted to prove to himself that he could still go out on stage.

Wynonna Judd shined in black during The Judds: Love Is Alive final concert Thursday night, which honored her late mother, Naomi Judd.
Wynonna — who has been wearing black at many of the public appearances she’s made since her mother’s death in April — dressed head-to-toe in the color, topping a pair of velvet bellbottoms with a blouse that featured fringe detailing. While on the carpet, she coupled the look with a glittery duster, rounding out her ensemble with a pair of lace gloves, wearing her trademark wavy red locks down and flowing.
On stage, Wynonna swapped out the glitter and lace number for a bell-sleeved top.

Wynonna Judd is speaking out for the first time since the death of her mother, and music partner, Naomi Judd in April. During a sit down with “CBS Sunday Morning”, the 58-year-old country music superstar revealed that she still feels anger following the loss of her mother.
“Incredibly angry,” she said. Adding that she doesn’t think that the feeling will pass “not for a while.”
Wynonna revealed that her anger stems from not being able to help her mother — prior to her taking her life.
“I did not know that she was at the place she was at when she ended it,” she said.
“Because she had had episodes before and she got better. And that’s what I live in is like, was there anything I should have looked for? Or should I have known I didn’t?”

With the release of Taylor Swift's rerecorded Fearless, Swifties are getting to relive the joy of Swift's earlier bops, including the crush-worthy "Hey Stephen." Although some of us have known for years who the eponymous Stephen is, it hasn't stopped newer fans from wondering what kind of guy could get Swift to write the lyrics, "Cause I can't help it if you look like an angel / Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain." Well, wonder no longer as "Hey Stephen" is about none other than Love and Theft's Stephen Barker Liles.
Unlike some of her other songs, which are about full-blown relationships, "Hey Stephen" details a crush Swift had on Liles back when Love and Theft toured with her in 2008. Liles hadn't actually heard the song before Swift released it, although she did tell him she'd written something about him.
