Martha Stewart confirms she's dating someone new

Have thirst trap, will date! In July 2020, Martha Stewart shared a selfie from her pool that went viral almost instantly, inspiring memes galore and, as Martha's admitted since, piquing the interest of more than a few eligible bachelors. The 80-year-old lifestyle guru stopped by "Watch What Happens Live" this week, where she was briefly grilled about the pic and its impact on her love life. According to Martha, nothing panned out, romance-wise, from the sexy post — but she confirmed she is seeing someone now. Asked if there was anyone special in her life, Martha first told Andy, "No," according to People. "I shouldn't say no," she added. "I mean yes, but I'm not going to tell you." That was as far as Andy got on romantic details. Speaking to "Entertainment Tonight" last year, Martha dismissed the now infamous photo as a casual stroke of luck. "My camera came on backwards, you know, selfie mode, and I looked so nice. The sun was on my face. I thought, 'Oh, that looks pretty,' so I took the picture," she said. "It looked good."

Kate Hudson and her brother serenade birthday girl Britney Spears on her 40th

Kate Hudson and her brother, Oliver Hudson, were among the throngs of fans who celebrated Britney Spears' 40th birthday on Dec. 2 — and they did it so well, the newly free Brit even posted the sibs' b-day serenade on Instagram. The adorable clip Kate, Oliver and Kate's (equally adorable) 3-year-old daughter, Rani Rose, crooning "Happy Birthday" in what looks like Kate's kitchen. At the song's climax, the camera zooms in on Oliver as he belts out, "Happy birth-day, Britney f****** Speaaaaaaars …," before panning back to Kate and then to Rani, as she toddles around looking a bit bewildered and trying to keep up. Kate and Britney have reportedly been pals since at least 2015, when they both posted shots from a get-together hosted by Kate that Britney attended. According to other posts on the 'Gram, the singer celebrated her milestone day with her fiance, Sam Asghari, in Mexico.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott's canceled W Magazine cover leaks online

A W Magazine cover featuring Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott that the outlet raced to scrap after the deadly chaos that erupted at Travis' Astroworld Festival has leaked on social media. According to Complex, Kylie, Travis and the magazine made the joint decision not to run the story or cover, given the crowd surge during Travis' festival set that resulted in the deaths of 10 people, including a 9-year-old boy, and hundreds of injuries. An insider previously told Page Six W was trying to keep all copies of the cover out of circulation. But on Dec. 3, the cover surfaced on social media and began circulating. It shows Kylie, who's expecting her second child with Travis, in a yellow dress as Travis leans his head toward her belly. The pair's 3-year-old daughter, Stormi, is also in the picture, dressed in the same yellow dress as her mom. "W really couldn't read the room!??? Wow man," one person snapped on Instagram when the photo was still up. (It's since been taken down from most accounts.) Travis is facing multiple lawsuits along with Astroworld producers Live Nation, including one that involves $2 billion worth of damages. He'd offered to pay for the funeral expenses of those who died but a number of victims' families have refused, including the relatives of the 9-year-old boy.

Hilaria Baldwin shares emotional message to Alec after 'Rust' shooting interview

One day after Alec Baldwin's first televised interview since Halyna Hutchins' shooting death on the set of "Rust," Alec's wife, Hilaria Baldwin, posted a long message for her husband on Instagram, telling him how she recalls thinking only, "I am here, I love you, and I will take care of you," after she found out what happened on Oct. 21. "I remember saying that phrase over and over again. The horrific loss, the torture to her family, and you, my husband, somehow put in this unthinkable nightmare," Hilaria wrote. She went on to detail the frustration of not being physically near Alec, who had been setting up a scene for "Rust" in New Mexico when what was meant to be a prop gun discharged, firing a real bullet that Alec later told George Stephanopoulos was not even "supposed to be on the property," let alone in the gun. Hilaria also talked about the ups and downs of "public life," reminding Alec it can feel "overwhelming" at times. "I was afraid for you to open up because I've seen your spirit crushed, your mental health shattered, your soul in unimaginable pain. Sometimes I wonder how much one body, one mind can take. I don't want to lose you," she wrote. As she came to the end, Hilaria said she'd "stopped speaking because of fear," and told Alec, "You always encourage me to speak, use my voice, stay true. You were right and continue to inspire me." Before signing off, she wrote, "My Alec, I am here to heal any of your pain that I can. I am not going anywhere. Onward to being Alec and Hilaria, messy, emotions strong, but lots and lots of love—until the very end." Alec replied in the comments, telling Hilaria, "I'm lucky. Sometimes it doesn't seem that way to me. But having you and our family…I'm the luckiest guy on Earth."

Common sends birthday love to ex, Tiffany Haddish

Tiffany Haddish and Common may be finished as a couple, but they're clearly still friends. News of their split broke just days before the "Girls Trip" star rang in her 42nd trip around the sun on Dec. 3, but Common still shared a public tribute to his ex. "Happy Birthday to the Queen @tiffanyhaddish!" Common wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the comic. "One of the most beautiful and dynamic and wonderful people I've ever known. May the most HIGH continue to bless and shine through you. Wishing you joy, love, peace, light, and fun on your born day. Love!" Tiffany, meanwhile, seemed to be soaking up all the "love, peace, light and fun" Common was hoping she'd find on her birthday. On Dec. 3, she shared photos and video from a birthday getaway to Colombia with a close friend — then followed those up over the weekend with selfies from a yacht.

Money found in wall of Joel Osteen's church tied to 2014 burglary

Celebrity pastor Joel Osteen could soon be implicated in what was reported as a church robbery back in 2014. On Dec. 3, Houston police announced on social media that "a large sum of money" including "cash, checks and money orders" was found in a wall during a renovation inside Lakewood Church on Nov. 10. Police said the money was "inventoried, documented, and left in the custody of Lakewood Church" since it was found on the establishment's grounds. "Evidence from the recovered checks suggest this November case is connected to a March 9, 2014 theft report of undisclosed amounts of money at the church," Houston police said. According to People, local media have reported a plumber who was working on the renovation project last month found the money and other funds stashed in envelopes in the wall. He said he promptly contacted the authorities. In a statement issued to the New York Times, a rep for the church said, "Recently, while repair work was being done at Lakewood Church, an undisclosed amount of cash and checks were found. Lakewood immediately notified the Houston Police Department and is assisting them with their investigation. Lakewood has no further comment at this time." Police are continuing to investigate, they said.

Sylvester Stallone opens career-spanning painting retrospective

At 75, Sylvester Stallone just opened the biggest show of his career — his painting career, that is. The New York City-born "Rocky" star has actually been painting since he was very young, but as he recently told The Hollywood Reporter, when his early pieces failed to sell in the art market, he pawned them off for $5 a pop "for bus fare" and focused on writing and acting instead. "You know, maybe I should have been a painter," he told THR on Dec. 4. "It sure would have meant a lot less stress." Featuring more than 50 paintings, some of which date back to the late '60s (and are signed "Mike Stallone"), "Sylvester Stallone: The Magic of Being," at Germany's Osthaus Museum Hagen reflects Sly's interest in artists like Jackson Pollack and Willem de Kooning, THR reports. A number of pieces also delve into his Rambo and Rocky characters — the movie "Rocky" was actually inspired by a painting of a boxer Sly titled "Finding Rocky" in 1975, according to THR. While the star's paintings no longer go for $5 bucks apiece — a 2013 show of his work quoted most prices in the six-figure range — Sylvester remains committed to the movie biz and is reportedly working on "the Expendables 4." His show opened Dec. 4 and runs through Feb. 20.
