Between their work and their home life with four children, it’s been a busy summer for Blake Lively and husband Ryan Reynolds.

But on Thursday the celebrity power couple took a brief time out and  headed out on a casual walk together along the normally bustling streets of Manhattan.

The pair could be seen chatting, laughing and smiling, all while holding hands as they kept up a steady pace en route to their destination.

The actress, 37, showed off her sense of casual-cool style dressed in a pink sweater with blue jeans and burgundy UGG x OC Tasman platform shoes.

Rounding out her overall look, the Gossip Girl alum carried a heart-shaped Chanel bag over her shoulder, while donning cool dark sunglasses, and her long blonde locks flowing over her chest and down past the middle of her back with a center part.

Known for his own personal style, Reynolds went out on the walk with his wife wearing light green/tan pants that resemble khakis with a light pink-beige jacket over an off-white shirt.

The longtime Hollywood leading man also sported a pair of white sneakers, cool dark sunglasses, and a blue baseball cap over his short brown hair.

In recent weeks and months, Lively has been out promoting her latest film It Ends With Us (2024), co-starring Justin Baldoni, who also served as the director.

While the romantic drama received mixed reviews from critics, it went on to become a big hit at the worldwide box-office, grossing $335 million worldwide against a production budget of $25 million.

The film was adapted from a screenplay by Christy Hall that’s based on the 2016 novel of the same name from Colleen Hoover

With number like that, it’s easy to see why the book’s sequel – It Starts With Us – is set to be adapted to the sequel film, but it’s not a done deal that both Lively and Baldoni will be back due to the rumored feud between the pair during production of the first film, according to Life & Style.

An insider told the publication that Reynolds is willing to offer Baldoni millions for his stake in the franchise, in order to avoid having the pair work together again.

Plus, Lively was also hit with claims that she insensitively promoted It Ends With Us, which is based on Colleen Hoover’s novel about an abusive relationship, as she had often failed to mention the film’s serious themes during the press tour.

While the film was a box office hit, grossing $335.1 million, Lively was hit by claims that she insensitively promoted the film, based off Colleen Hoover’s novel about an abusive relationship, and often failed to mention the movie’s serious themes during the press tour

Lively also spent part of her spring and busy summer shooting the still untitled sequel to the black comedy crime film A Simple Favor (2018), alongside co-star Anna Kendrick.

Paul Feig is also back in the director’s chair working from another screenplay by Jessica Sharzer, who based the story on the 2017 novel of the same name by Darcey Bell.

The original movie, which follows a small-town vlogger who tries to solve the disappearance of her elegant and mysterious friend, earned $97.6 million at the worldwide box office while spending $20 million on production costs.

During some of those weeks and months Lively was working, Reynolds has been doing his own moving and shaking shooting two new films – the live-action adult-animated Animal Friends and the action-adventure A Simple Favor.

And that work on those new films was on top of all the promotion the actor did for Deadpool & Wolverine (2024) since it premiered in theaters in the U.S. in late July.

The superhero film, which served as a director sequel to Deadpool 2 (2018), went on to become a blockbuster hit grossing $1.318 billion in receipts while working budget of $200 million.

During those summer days of August, Lively and Reynolds became the first married Hollywood couple to have two separate films – Deadpool & Wolverine and It Ends With Us – that topped the box office at number one and two during the August 9–11 weekend.

That’s a first since Bruce Willis and Demi Moore starred at the top of the box office on the same weekend since 1990 with Die Hard 2 and Ghost.

As Reynolds and Lively went from job to job these past few months, the couple also have their everyday family responsibilities to attend to consisting of their four children: James, nine, Inez, seven, Betty, four, and Olin, one.

It seems that a controversial moment unfolded on The View recently when former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines made a bold statement directed at Whoopi Goldberg. During what was described as an intense segment, Gaines accused Goldberg of being “a disgrace to a real woman,” sparking a heated exchange and reigniting debates surrounding women’s rights and gender issues.
The Context of the Confrontation

Riley Gaines, known for her outspoken stance on the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports, was invited to the show to discuss her views. As a former competitive swimmer who competed against transgender athlete Lia Thomas, Gaines has been vocal about her belief that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports is unfair to biologically female athletes. Her арреагапсе оn The View was expected to be contentious, given the show’s panelists’ diverse opinions on such topics.

The confrontation began when Goldberg, a long-time advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, challenged Gaines on her stance. Goldberg questioned Gaines’ perspective, suggesting that supporting inclusion is essential for equality and fairness. Gaines, in turn, did not hold back, responding with strong words and expressing her frustration over what she perceives as a lack of understanding and respect for the struggles of female athletes.“You are a disgrace to a real woman,” Gaines reportedly said, her voice filled with emotion. This statement stunned the audience and led to a moment of silence before the conversation escalated into a broader debate about the definitions and implications of womanhood in today’s society.

The panel, consisting of co-hosts with varying viewpoints, reacted in different ways. Sunny Hostin attempted to mediate, urging for a more respectful dialogue, while Joy Behar expressed her discomfort with the confrontational nature of the exchange. The live audience appeared divided, with some applauding Gaines’ courage to speak her mind, while others showed support for Goldberg.

On social media, reactions were equally polarized. Some praised Gaines for standing up for what they believe is the integrity of women’s sports, while others criticized her for what they saw as an attack on Goldberg and the transgender community. “Riley Gaines just said what a lot of us are thinking. It’s time someone spoke up,” one user tweeted. Meanwhile, another user responded, “Attacking Whoopi Goldberg like that is not okay. We need more dialogue, not hate.”
Broader Implications and Ongoing Debate
This confrontation on The View highlights the ongoing and often contentious debate over the inclusion of transgender athletes in women’s sports. Advocates like Gaines argue that biological differences give transgender women an unfair advantage, while others, like Goldberg, emphasize the importance of inclusivity and the recognition of transgender identities.

The 63-year-old, two years removed from her divorce from ex-husband Tom Vitale,

and four years following the death of her first husband, Eddie Van Halen, made things Instagram official last Friday,

captioning a selfie with lyrics from So High School, a Taylor Swift song reportedly about the music star’s current boyfriend Travis Kelce.

“🎶 I’ll drink what you think and I’m high from smokin’ your jokes all damn night 🎶” Bertinelli wrote in the post’s caption.

As per Entertainment Tonight, Valerie’s new man is writer Mike Goodnough, who pens a popular blog under the monicker the Hoarse Whisperer.

Earlier this month, TV personality and actress Bertinelli set the rumor mill spinning when she told USA TODAY: “I’ve met someone. And I’m incredibly grateful for him.

“It’s unlike any relationship that I’ve ever experienced with a man. I don’t want to say too much, but I feel incredibly blessed and lucky to have met him. I was going to die with my six cats and my dog and be incredibly happy doing it.”

Goodnough admitted the rumors about him dating Bertinelli were true on his Substack this week, in an essay entitled “Rumors, Rumors, Rumors…”. In the piece, he jokingly detailed that he had asked “Ms. Bertinelli” in a “reporterly voice” if there was “any truth to the rumor you are dating me? Care to comment?”

He added: “She said ‘It’s true. I totally am. You’re my boyfriend.’”

In her recently published new cookbook, Indulge, Bertinelli discussed her previous marriage to Eddie Van Halen.

“Though we got divorced, Ed and I never stopped loving each other,” she penned in the cookbook, which was released April 12.

“Who knows, if not for cancer, we might have had a second wind,” Bertinelli wrote, adding that “I’m pretty sure that is wistful thinking.”

As for Goodnough, Valerie explained that she began following him on social media in 2016 or 2017, before he followed her back in 2018. The two eventually began to exchange messages with one another, presumably following Valerie’s divorce from Tom Vitale in 2022.

“He’s a really super funny, incredibly talented writer,” she said of Goodnough.

The actress told PEOPLE Magazine this month: “I’m in love. It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again.”

When we share our lives on the internet, we often open them up to criticism. This young couple, who just enjoys sharing pictures with one another, received backlash from people for their relationship.

However, their response to the criticism is brilliant and a stark reminder of the importance of having the conviction of your beliefs.

The story of Matt and Brittany Montgomery is one that is quite common but nevertheless wonderful. The couple met, fell in love, and then started their lives together.

While it may sound like a common situation, the couple has a unique element in their story; their size difference. Brittany has had a hard time finding acceptance her entire life. She did not have the most secure relationship with her parents who were often controlling and her interactions with them would often leave her feeling drained.

All of this led to her having little confidence in herself and her body. Being plus-sized, she would often find herself with two kinds of men; those who would either want her to lose weight or those who fetishized her curves. These bad experiences led to her wanting to quit dating altogether and close herself off from the possibility of love.

But fate had something else in store for her! In August 2020, she crossed paths with Matt Montgomery on Facebook. While their physical builds had a stark difference between them, their souls connected on a level like never before!

Brittany recalled, “I was a bit hesitant at first. I’ve been in relationships where guys have told me that they will dump me if I don’t start dieting or trying to lose weight. It did affect my self-confidence, and at one point, I did start working out and trying to change my size.”

But the two of them were sure of one another and deeply in love. Matt proposed on January 30, 2022 and the couple began planning their lives together.

While they fully accepted one another, they shared how the world judges their relationship. Matt shared, “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her.” He added, “I do notice people staring when we walk down the street…”

Despite all the criticism they receive on their relationship from people who fail to understand their deep connection, the couple have nothing but love for one another.

Matt has in his past had bad experiences with conventionally sized women. How Brittany makes him feel is what inspired Matt into realizing that she really is his true soulmate. He accepts her the way she is and focuses on making her happy. He is not shy about expressing his appreciation for her publicly, in a post for her he wrote, “You are worthy, you are deserving of infinite love every single day and more. The way I look at you and feel for you and the way you look and feel for me is how I know that we are meant to be.”

His caption shows people leaving rude comments on the couples’ pictures that he loves his wife and that they have a connection that goes much beyond the physical. What a solid response to the haters!

The couple wants to remove the stigma behind ‘mixed-weight’ relationships. “I wish mixed-weight relationships were more common and more in the norm,” she said.

The young couple welcomed their child Lakelyn in March 2022 and just last month announced that they are expecting their second child together in September 2023. We wish them all the best!

Truly, there are no set parameters when it comes to finding true love and what makes someone happy. We should all accept and love one another regardless of anything else!

Susan Boyle captured the hearts of music lovers around the world when she first appeared on the third season of “Britain’s Got Talent” over a decade ago.

The video of her first audition when she stood in front of Simon Cowell, shy and unassuming and then blew everyone away with her rendition of “I Dreamed a Dream” from Les Misérables has been watched by millions.

She gained fame, as well as earned millions of dollars through album sales. However, her journey hasn’t all been sunshine and roses, and the singer’s love life has long been the subject of rumors and speculation.

So, did Susan Boyle ever marry? Does she have a partner? And where is she living now?

It’s quite natural to stop and look in the rearview mirror as you grow older – and Susan Boyle can certainly look back on a remarkable life.

In 2008, the unemployed charity worker lived alone with her cat, Pebbles, and wanted to see if she could make it in show business. After performing I Dreamed a Dream from Les Misérables in front of Simon Cowell and the rest of Britain’s Got Talent judges, the 47-year-old became a star overnight.

“I used to be a kind of spectator looking outward at the world. But now I’m part of that world and, though frightening, I’m going to embrace it,” Boyle said after her breakthrough.

In her first year as a superstar, she made $6.8 million.

Her success continued and after the release of her second studio album, she became the third artist to top the charts in the UK and the US twice in the same year.

Overnight this unassuming and shy then 47-year-old from Scotland became an international superstar and a millionaire.

Even though her career took her around the globe and made her a multi-millionaire, Susan Boyle has always remained honest, down-to-earth, and genuinely caring.

Unlike many other celebrities, she has never flashed her cash; the humble singer still lives in her childhood home in Blackburn, Scotland.

She purchased the modest house in 2010.

”It’s best to be grounded and with your roots. It keeps you grounded and prevents you from saying things maybe you shouldn’t say,” she told OK!.

Susan Boyle was born on April 1, 1961. Her parents – Patrick Boyle, a miner, WWII veteran, and singer, and Bridget, a shorthand typist – were both immigrants from County Donegal, Ireland. Boyle grew up as the youngest of four brothers and six sisters.

The family lived in a council house in West Lothian, Scotland. Still to this day, Susan lives in that house.

She could have done anything, gone anywhere, bought a mansion in Beverly Hills, but instead, she returned to her childhood home, a four-bedroom ex-council house in Blackburn, Scotland, bought it, and turned it into the home of her dreams.

In a tour of her newly decorated abode, which she’s called home for 60 years now, she reveals her stunning new piano room which is the first thing you see when you enter her home.

She joked about her piano room as she said she’d only just started having lessons.

“That’s a giggle for a start because I can’t even do scales,” she joked.

The newly renovated kitchen used to be small and sparse with a table in the center near the oven which she said made it hazardous, but the renovation gives her a lot more space and many updates. It even has a framed photo of Susan meeting Pope Francis.

Her living room is bright and homey and full of pictures of her family. Susan is the youngest child of 7 brothers and sisters so originally her house occupied 9 people. It must feel a lot roomier now.

As you move through the home, you see her career documented in various framed awards and accolades along with many cute animal ornaments, a testament to her gentle nature and down-to-earth personality.

Upstairs Susan shows us what used to be the room she once shared with her two sisters which then became hers after her sisters left home. She recalls the record player that used to sit in the corner and how she was a huge fan of The Osmonds.

Her father died in the 1990s by which time her brothers and sisters had all left home. Susan stayed at home and cared for her elderly mother until her death in 2007 so the household’s precious memories for the superstar.

“Some people seem surprised that I choose to stay in my family home. Why shouldn’t I? I feel Mum is still here and there are so many good memories … I’ve spent most of my life in this house and I won’t move now, because I feel it’s part of my new history,” she said.

Susan has always been open about the fact that she wants to meet the love of her life and find a long-term partner. That person will of course move into her house – because Susan is not leaving.

While SuBo is patiently waiting to meet ”Mr Right”, there is something else that has been bothering her for a while. Susan has always wanted to be a mother and have children of her own.

”I’ve never had any of my own, that’s my biggest regret, but I love kids. They’re good fun to be with,” she told The Sun.

As a 60-year-old woman, time is not exactly on her side. But Susan has opened up on perhaps adopting or becoming a foster parent for children who need a safe and loving home.

“I’ve a lovely house, why not share it?” she said.

Susan’s home reminds us all that despite her overnight stardom she’s still an everyday person who chooses to live the quiet life in the only home she’s ever known.

Amid recent speculations, it’s rumored that celebrity couple Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton may be expecting their first biological child together. This would be Gwen’s fourth child, and the news follows Blake’s heartfelt remarks about his deep bond with her three sons.

In a People interview last year, Blake spoke candidly about his role as a stepfather to Kingston, Apollo, and Zuma. Expressing the challenges and joys of step-parenting, he emphasized his constant availability and support for them.

Sources now suggest the couple is on the verge of a new parenthood chapter with the anticipation of a biological child. Reportedly, Gwen underwent months of in vitro fertilization (IVF) before deciding to conceive naturally. The couple initially explored IVF before their 2020 wedding, but the process took a toll on Gwen. After a temporary pause, they consulted a specialist in 2022, leading to Gwen’s apparent successful conception.

At 54, Gwen is said to be dedicated to well-being practices to enhance her fertility, including meditation and acupuncture. As fans await official confirmation, the prospect of Gwen and Blake expanding their family is generating excitement.

Halle Berry made a bold fashion statement at the premiere of her latest film, The Union, in Los Angeles on Monday night. The event, held at the iconic Egyptian Theatre, saw Berry commanding attention on the red carpet with a daring outfit that was both elegant and risqué.

Berry turned heads in a sheer black dress that left little to the imagination. The knee-length ensemble featured a plunging V-neckline and a fitted waist that accentuated her figure. The floral lace detailing and revealing design ensured all eyes were on her. Her choice of attire not only highlighted her confidence but also sparked conversation, making a significant impact on those in attendance. Paired with black pumps featuring leather straps and semi-sheer mesh, Berry’s look was a perfect blend of boldness and sophistication. She completed her ensemble with soft, beachy waves in her chin-length bob and warm, smoky eye makeup that enhanced her natural beauty. Her sun-kissed complexion was complemented by a nude glossy lip, soft pink blush, and a touch of gold highlighter.

Keeping her accessories minimal but elegant, Berry opted for diamond round earrings and stacked rings on her fingers. Her bright white pedicure added a final touch of chic to her appearance. While fans were in awe of her stunning looks, opinions on her revealing dress were mixed. Some admired her bold choice, with one fan praising, “She looks great in it.” Others, however, felt the dress was more suited for intimate settings, saying, “I love it as underwear, but not so much as a dress.” Age was another hot topic, with many marveling at how youthful Berry looked at 58. Fans were astonished, with comments like, “58???? What????” and “She looks out of this world .” Another impressed fan exclaimed, “The most beautiful 58-year-old I’ve ever seen.” However, not everyone appreciated the daring outfit. Some criticized her choice, with one comment reading, “Put on some clothes and have some class.” Another added, “She’s better than this,” and others questioned whether the dress was age-appropriate for the star.

Joining Berry at the premiere was actor Mark Wahlberg, who, at 53, showcased his own timeless style. Dressed in a white T-shirt, light blue zip-up jacket, and black pants, Wahlberg’s laid-back look was polished off with stylish white sneakers. A photograph of him with his supermodel wife and their children captured a perfect family moment on the red carpet.As Berry and Wahlberg posed together, their chemistry was undeniable, though some were quick to criticize Berry’s revealing outfit in contrast to Wahlberg’s more understated look. Despite the differing opinions on Berry’s dress, Wahlberg’s classic style balanced the night’s glamour and intrigue. The Union, which premieres on Netflix on August 16, stars Wahlberg as Mike McKenna, a Jersey construction worker who is recruited by U.S. intelligence for a high-stakes mission. The film promises to deliver an exciting mix of action and romance, with Berry and Wahlberg’s on-screen dynamic set to captivate audiences.

Dolly Parton has been there and done pretty much all there is to do in the music industry.
