Tate McRae is opening up about the pressure and intensity that came with her relationship and breakup with The Kid Laroi. In her new Rolling Stone cover story, the 22-year-old singer reflected on how the public’s fascination with their romance took her by surprise and affected her more deeply than she expected. According to Rolling Stone, McRae said the attention surrounding the split felt “really scary and overwhelming,” noting that she never anticipated their private relationship becoming a major talking point online. She added that the experience revealed how disorienting it can be when strangers form narratives about a relationship they were never inside of.

McRae and The Kid Laroi, who first sparked dating rumors in early 2024, dated for more than a year before officially breaking up in June 2025. Although their relationship became increasingly public as they attended events together and Laroi referred to her as his girlfriend onstage, McRae told the outlet that she never expected the breakup to draw the level of speculation it did. She explained that she would never speak about other people’s relationships with that level of detail, which made the scrutiny even more difficult to process.

Addressing the Song Rumors and Moving Forward

Along with the attention on their breakup, McRae also confronted the ongoing fan theories that she and The Kid Laroi exchanged musical jabs through their songs “Tit for Tat” and “A Cold Play.” According to People, she said she “hated people painting a situation that’s worse than it is,” especially when the speculation overshadowed the reality of the breakup itself. McRae clarified that both she and Laroi use songwriting as their main form of expression, and that listeners will always interpret lyrics in their own way. Once a song is released, she said, “it’s not mine anymore.”

Despite the emotional difficulty of navigating a high-profile breakup, McRae said she continues to hold respect for her ex and cares deeply about people who have been part of her life. She described herself as someone who feels deeply connected to past relationships and admitted that one of the hardest parts of a breakup is not knowing how the other person is doing. She added that she hopes time will bring clarity, saying, “We’ll see what happens in time.”

McRae also shared how meaningful it was when Taylor Swift praised “Tit for Tat” during an appearance on “The Tonight Show,” calling the acknowledgment from an artist she admires “one of the coolest moments ever,” per E! News.

Inside Her New Rolling Stone Cover and Rising Pop Star Era

In addition to speaking openly about her personal life, McRae brings bold pop nostalgia to her January 2026 Rolling Stone cover shoot. She appears in a vintage 2001 Moschino heart-print bikini, channeling early-2000s pop aesthetics with the confidence of her performance alter ego, “Tatiana.” The shoot also includes archival pieces like a 1997 Chanel blazer paired with 1994 bikini bottoms, along with other vintage looks from Chanel and Dolce & Gabbana.

The feature highlights McRae’s artistic evolution, from placing third on “So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation” in 2016 to building a following on YouTube with her 2017 breakout “One Day.” Her rise led to a deal with RCA Records and the release of her debut EP, “All The Things I Never Said,” in 2020. Songwriter Amy Allen praised her versatility, calling McRae a “triple threat” who continues to grow as both an artist and performer.

Reflecting on that journey, McRae told Rolling Stone, “No one knows the full story of anything, ever.”

There has been concern about Dolly Parton’s health in recent months, especially after her sister Stella made a post asking for prayers, which sparked such a frenzy that the singer had to issue a statement saying she’s doing alright. She has been battling kidney-related health issues, and informed fans of her health in an Instagram post, in which she declared, “I ain’t dead yet!”

So, any time Parton gives fans an update, it is welcomed. The “Jolene” singer’s recent social media post has nothing to do with her health. However, it shows her looking well as she informs fans about her books. In true Dolly style, she also makes a statement with her outfit. 

Dolly Parton Promotes Her Books

Parton posted a video on Instagram on Wednesday, December 10, to inform fans about her books. The first is “Songteller: My Life in Lyrics,” which she describes as being “all about my songwriting.” The second is “Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones,” which Parton describes as “all about my outfits and hair and all that.” And then she reveals the title of her third book, “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage,” and how it has “so many stories” that she has “never told anybody before.”

In the clip, Parton looks stunning with her hair and makeup done up. She is wearing a sparkly dress with star details. Parton is never one to opt for casual clothing, and this is a perfect example of her daring fashion choices. In the caption, she shared her thoughts, writing, “Everybody loves a good book! Gift ‘Star of the Show: My Life on Stage’ this season, along with ‘Behind the Seams: My Life in Rhinestones’ and ‘Songteller: My Life in Lyrics,’ the full trilogy of my life. Find them wherever books are sold.”

Dolly Parton’s Fans Sing Her Praises 

Fans have reacted to the post, commenting on how well Parton looks and celebrating her books. Few people in the entertainment industry work as hard as she does! “My 40th birthday is on Tuesday. I’m most certainly going to treat myself to one of your amazing books Dolly! You are a Queen!,“ a comment reads. 

“You’re the queen always Dolly,” another person wrote. 

Other reactions include, “We love you Dolly! These books are the next best thing to my dream of having a long conversation with you,” “Wonderful look dear Dolly,” “There are Christmas presents just waiting to happen,” and “How beautiful, smart, strong, and gifted this woman is.”

Blue Ivy Carter turned heads at the Los Angeles Lakers game this week as she stepped out in a look that immediately reminded fans of her mom, Beyoncé. Sitting courtside with her dad, Jay-Z, the 13-year-old showcased a mix of nostalgic fashion, updated beauty, and her own growing sense of style, creating a moment that quickly sparked online buzz. According to Page Six, fans couldn’t help but notice how much she resembled her mother as cameras caught the duo throughout the night.

Blue Ivy Revives Beyoncé’s Iconic Isabel Marant Wedges

Blue Ivy’s outfit drew instant attention, thanks in part to a pair of Isabel Marant wedge sneakers famously linked to Beyoncé’s early 2010s street style. Per Footwear News, Blue wore the Bekett hidden-wedge sneakers in a burgundy and black colorway, styled with dark denim cargo jeans, a black-and-silver Balenciaga racer jacket, and a silver Diesel mini bag. The sneakers, which retail for around $790 today, have recently resurfaced in trend cycles after years of being considered one of Beyoncé’s go-to silhouettes.

Fans online immediately pointed out that Beyoncé wore nearly the same pair in 2013, prompting speculation that Blue Ivy may have borrowed them straight from her mom’s archive. Others noted that Isabel Marant recently reissued several versions of the wedge, leaving room for debate on whether they were vintage or newly purchased. Still, the look served as a clear nod to Beyoncé’s signature “Love on Top” era, when she wore the sneaker in multiple colors on and off stage.

WWD reports that the sneaker’s resurgence has been driven by renewed celebrity interest and a spike in global demand, making Blue Ivy’s courtside moment perfectly timed.

A New Silk Press Marks Her Evolving Teen Style

Blue Ivy didn’t just channel her mom through fashion — she debuted a new hairstyle that also felt distinctly Beyoncé-coded. According to Essence, the teen swapped out her usual boho braids for a smooth silk press with honey-blonde tips. The color and length gave fans flashbacks to Beyoncé’s soft blonde looks from mid-2000s NBA appearances, while still feeling age-appropriate and modern.

This latest courtside appearance reflects how Blue’s style has evolved over the years. At past games, she has been seen in pigtails, French curl braids, twist outs, and other childhood styles. Now, her silk press paired with glossed lips, brown liner, and oval French tip nails signals a new era as she grows into her own beauty identity while still drawing inspiration from her mother.

With each public appearance, Blue Ivy continues to show a blend of confidence, maturity, and individuality. As Essence put it, her courtside look “made a statement, while also staying true to herself.”

Aside from her highly anticipated documentaries, Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” shines as the No. 1 title on the 2025 year-end Billboard 200 Albums chart.

According to Billboard, Swift dominated the roundup for the fifth time and remains the only artist to have a year-end No. 1 Billboard 200 album more than three times.

Sam Asghari is turning heads again — this time on the cover of Playgirl magazine’s December 2025 issue.

But beyond the shirtless shots and sculpted-abs allure, the 31-year-old model and actor seems to be using this moment to redefine himself — beyond just being known as Britney Spears’ ex-husband.  

In a spread photographed by Katie Levine, Asghari embraces provocative new imagery: leather pants unzipped, abs on full display; a poolside shot with little more than a towel; even a bubble-bath image where just the foam and shadows hint at his physique.

It’s a transformational look from the clean-cut trainer profile we once knew.

But Asghari isn’t just flexing muscles — he’s reflecting on his past with surprising maturity.

In the accompanying interview, he referenced an Iranian proverb about loyalty and appreciation for shared meals, saying people should “celebrate the past, appreciate it and not dwell on the fact it’s over.”

He added, “Be happy it ever even happened.”

Asghari & Spears Relationship Timeline

Spears and Asghari first met in October 2016 on the set of her “Slumber Party” music video.

Their romance went public in early 2017, and they spent years supporting each other — especially during Spears’ conservatorship battle.

After getting engaged in September 2021, they married on June 9, 2022, in a star-studded ceremony with less than 100 guests. 

In early 2022, the couple revealed they were expecting a child, but sadly Britney miscarried the following month.

Their marriage lasted just 14 months; they separated in August 2023 and their divorce was finalized in May 2024.

Despite the split, Asghari has spoken respectfully of their time together — calling it a “blessing” and expressing gratitude for their shared memories.

What’s Next for Asghari?

After being one of the faithfuls on Season 3 of “The Traitors,” Asghari plans to continue to act.

While he prefers to try to remain private, he stated he’s looking forward to what is next.

“Because at the end of the day, I do have a future,” he added. “I was acting before that relationship… and I will continue acting.”

He said that even after his limelight romance with Spears, he is still the same person he was when he first came to the United States.

“I’m going to be the Sam that I was when I moved to America,” he noted. “Because I’m still the person with the same enthusiasm, with the same positivity, with the same energy.”

Sharon Osbourne is bravely opening up about the emotional promise she made to her husband, Ozzy Osbourne, in the final weeks of his life.

The Black Sabbath legend died in July at 76, with his cause of death listed as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease, and Parkinson’s disease.

In the days that followed, thousands filled the streets of Birmingham to honor him. Sharon, the former reality TV star from the hit family series ‘The Osbournes’ stood alongside their children — Aimee, Kelly, and Jack — as well as Ozzy’s older children, Louis, Jessica, and Elliot Kingsley, as fans paid tribute to the rock icon’s life and legacy.

Months later, Sharon is opening up about her grief and the vow she made in their final weeks. During an appearance on “Piers Morgan Uncensored,” she admitted she cannot imagine herself ever falling in love again.

“Everything in my life now is like ish … it’s OK, alright. I’m OK. That’s it for now. For so, so many years, we were intertwined,” she said on the December 10 episode.

The Moment Ozzy Asked If She Would Ever Marry Again

Sharon said Ozzy once asked her directly if she would ever remarry after he died. Her response was immediate and emotional.

“One night when he was hugging me tight, you know, he said, ‘When I go, do you think you’ll ever get married?’ I’m like, ‘f**k off, p**s off. Oh, my God no, never, ever, ever, no’.”

She went on to describe how strange life feels without him. “It’s very weird to me. You know, when you love someone that much and you’re grieving for them, it’s what I have to live with, and I’ll get used to it. I will. I have to, you know, things move on.”

Her Children Gave Her Strength During Her Deepest Pain

Sharon credited her three children with helping her survive the early stages of grief.

“I wouldn’t have [gotten] through [without them]. I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do,” she told Morgan.

Getty

“You know they’ve been unbelievable, just magnificent with me, all three of them.”

She also reflected on a moment from years earlier while receiving mental health treatment. Sharon remembered seeing two young women whose mothers had died by suicide.

“And I saw the state that these two young women were in and what it had done to their lives, and I thought, I will never, ever, ever do that to my kids.”

Sharon Reflects on Losing the Love of Her Life

Sharon said she is learning to live with the reality of losing the man she spent more than 40 years loving.

“It’s inevitable that it happens to all of us,” she said. “I miss his hand… holding his hand.”

Watch the conversation here:

As she continues to grieve, Sharon said she is trying to adjust to life without the person who shaped her world for decades. The vow she made to Ozzy in their final days remains unchanged, and she says the love they shared will define the rest of her life.

Gene Simmons has walked back his controversial comments about the death of his former KISS bandmate Ace Frehley, issuing a rare public apology after fans and industry peers called out his earlier remarks. Frehley, the band’s original lead guitarist, died in October at age 74 from injuries sustained during a fall the month prior. While his family shared that he died peacefully surrounded by loved ones, Simmons initially suggested that Frehley’s death stemmed from “bad decisions” tied to his past struggles with alcoholism.

On Wednesday, December 10, Simmons addressed those comments directly. “On reflection, I was wrong for using the words I used,” Simmons wrote on X. “I humbly apologize.”

Gene Simmons Walks Back Statement About Ace Frehley

Simmons initially spoke to The New York Post following Frehley’s passing, saying, “He refused [advice] from people that cared about him – including yours truly – to try to change his lifestyle. In and out of bad decisions. Falling down the stairs — I’m not a doctor — doesn’t kill you. There may have been other issues, and it breaks my heart.”

Those remarks immediately drew backlash, especially given that Frehley had reportedly been sober for more than 20 years. Simmons also added, “The saddest thing — you reap what you shall sow, unfortunately,” comments many fans felt were unnecessarily harsh toward someone who had just died.

Now, Simmons says he understands why those statements upset so many. “My hand to God I didn’t intend to hurt Ace or his legacy,” he wrote in his apology. “But upon rereading my words, I see how it hurt everyone. Again, I apologize. I’ve always loved Ace. Always.”

Remembering Ace Frehley’s Lasting Impact

Frehley’s family responded to his death in an emotional statement. “We are completely devastated and heartbroken,” they said. “Reflecting on all of his incredible life achievements, Ace’s memory will continue to live on forever!”

KISS released their own tribute to their founding guitarist, calling him an “essential and irreplaceable rock soldier.” “He is and will always be a part of KISS’s legacy,” the band wrote. “Our thoughts are with Jeanette, Monique and all those who loved him, including our fans around the world.”

Simmons also posted his personal message the day Frehley died: “Our hearts are broken. Ace has passed on. No one can touch Ace’s legacy. I know he loved the fans. He told me many times.”

The acknowledgment came just days before KISS received a Kennedy Center Honor in 2025, a milestone Frehley “didn’t live long enough to see,” Simmons said.

Frehley co-founded KISS with Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss in 1973, performing with the group through 1982 before returning for the 1996 reunion tour and remaining with the band until 2002.
