West, 47, posed at the red carpet on Sunday, February 2, in an all-black T-shirt and jeans while Censori, 30, took off her fur coat to reveal a completely sheer dress. (West’s “Carnival” is up for “Best Rap Song” at Sunday’s awards show at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles.)
West has been linked to Censori since January 2023, two months after the music mogul finalized his divorce from Kim Kardashian. (West and Kardashian, 44, who share daughters North, 11, and Chicago, 6, and sons Saint, 8, and Psalm, 5, were in a lengthy legal battle after they pulled the plug on their six-year marriage.)
Us Weekly later confirmed that same month that West and Censori previously had “a small marriage ceremony.” At the time, a source told Us that the milestone was “very real” for West and Censori even though it remained unclear whether the event was legally binding.
After speculation that they were headed for divorce, a second insider told Us in October 2024 that the pair were “working through” some issues after facing “ups and downs recently.”
“Their relationship is definitely rocky,” the insider added. “Bianca knew what she was getting herself into when marrying Kanye, but, as months went on, the lifestyle took a toll on her.”
West’s appearance at the 2025 Grammys came one day after he took to Instagram to show that he is now following Taylor Swift. In a post on Saturday, February 1, West shared a screenshot of his “Following” list on his Instagram Stories, confirming that Swift, 35, was the only one included.
The update came as a surprise after West and Swift’s rocky past. West infamously overshadowed Swift’s win for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards when he interrupted her speech to issue a shout-out to Beyoncé. After West later named Swift in a vulgar lyric on his song “Famous,” his then-wife, Kardashian, released edited footage that made it seem like Swift had heard the full lyrics and was fine with it.
“West had claimed that Swift gave him permission to include the vulgar lyric, which she repeatedly vehemently denied,” a rep for Swift told Us in a statement. “West’s then-wife, Kim Kardashian, subsequently released footage of an alleged phone call between the two Grammy winners that corroborated West’s version of events. It has since come to light that the call was edited.”
More recently, Swift — who is also going to be in attendance on Sunday — called the incident a “career death.”
“Make no mistake — my career was taken away from me,” she recalled to TIME in a December 2023 profile. “You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar.”
Swift continued: “That took me down psychologically to a place I’ve never been before. I moved to a foreign country. I didn’t leave a rental house for a year. I was afraid to get on phone calls. I pushed away most people in my life because I didn’t trust anyone anymore. I went down really, really hard.”
“It is [a full-time job]. It is worth it because I think that of course I want to disassociate in specific thoughts and things being said because that is not me,” the Hulu personality said on the “Angie Martinez IRL” podcast in December 2022. “But at the same time in my home I could be going through something, but if we are riding to school and they want to listen to their dad’s music — no matter what we are going through — I have to have that smile on my face and blast his music and sing along with my kids. [I can] act like nothing is wrong and as soon as I drop them off, I can have a good cry.”

Carpenter, 25, walked in and dream-came-trued it for Us at the 2025 Grammys, which took place on Sunday, February 2, at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Styled by Jared Ellner, her custom JW Anderson look featured a barely-there top with pearl straps that cascaded down her back, feathers at her hips and a mermaid skirt that swept the carpet with a dramatic train equipped with even more plume.
Carpenter added just the right amount of sparkle with silver rings and Chopard dangling earrings. Just like Cinderella, the It Girl styled her honey blonde mane in a curly updo.
Carpenter teamed her trophy-deserving look with makeup as elegant as her ensemble, featuring her signature extra-rosy cheeks, white eyeshadow and lined lips.
While she’s long been in the industry, Carpenter is being recognized for her talent for the first time this year. The hitmaker is up for a number of Grammys, including Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance for her album Short & Sweet.
Carpenter, who is performing at Music’s Biggest Night, is also nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit “Espresso,” along with Song of the Year for her track “Please Please Please,” Best New Artist and Best Remixed Recording for “Espresso (Mark Ronson x FNZ Working Late Remix).”
While she hasn’t been to the Grammys before, last year she stunned at the Pre-Grammy Gala in a David Koma gown featuring a mock neck, a sleeveless top, a rose embellishment and a thigh-high slit.
In true Sabrina Carpenter style, she wore her honey blonde locks in a bouncy blowout with her curtain bangs framing her face. Her makeup featured rosy cheeks, filled in eyebrows, doe eyeshadow and long lashes she completed her look with glossy lined lips.
Here’s to hoping Carpenter has good Grammys chem, too!
Something for everyone. The Grammy Awards are known as “music’s biggest night,” but the Recording Academy also hands out a ton of trophies in non-musical categories — and you might be surprised to find out who’s won them.
One of the major sources of unusual Grammy winners is Best Spoken Word Album, first awarded in 1959. This prize has gone to statesmen reading their speeches (Martin Luther King Jr.), poets reciting their work (Maya Angelou) and more recently, authors and actors reading audiobooks (LeVar Burton, Cynthia Nixon, Michael J. Fox and many more).
It’s certainly not easy to win a Grammy, but the sheer breadth of categories has helped a number of stars complete their EGOT: the showbiz feat of winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
The legendary Audrey Hepburn, for example, won an Oscar in 1953 for Roman Holiday, a Tony in 1954 for Ondine and an Emmy in 1993 for Gardens of the World With Audrey Hepburn. Finally, in 1994, the Breakfast at Tiffany’s star won a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album for Children, making her the first person to win all four awards posthumously. (She died one month before the ceremony.)

Winning a Grammy Award is the pinnacle of many musicians’ careers. While artists such as Beyoncé and Jay-Z have broken records with their Grammy wins over the years, others haven’t been awarded just yet.
Several celebrities have been nominated by the Recording Academy over a dozen times but have never walked away with a trophy. Snoop Dogg, for example, once said he was boycotting the Grammys because he was nominated 16 times but never won.
“No need to blow smoke up my [ass]. I’d rather blow some real smoke with my loved ones and count the 17xs I been invited with the same results,” he captioned a cartoon on Instagram in February 2016 that read “Less Grammy … More Grams.” He added: “Shot out to my family that getting it in winning hosting and just showing up for the cause enjoy the festivities my green room open all night not like there’s [sic].”
Other singers, however, feel honored to have been nominated at all. Katy Perry, who has gotten 13 Grammy nods but has no wins, told Capital FM in 2013 that it’s “nice to even be acknowledged” by the Recording Academy.

Roan, 26, looked epic at the Sunday, February 2, awards show in a winning outfit. Her 2003 Jean Paul Gaultier archival gown featured a fitted bodice equipped with mint-and-yellow tulle and black bow straps that cascaded into a printed ballgown skirt finished with a high-low silhouette. The singer elevated the number with sheer gloves, long gold nails and a feathered headpiece.
In true Chappell Roan style, she donned a full beat including razor thin eyebrows, pale foundation, long lashes and vibrant eyeshadow. Her crimson red mane, which was styled by Dom Forletta using Wavytalk Hot Tools, was worn in a half-up coif.
Roan’s glam team went above and beyond with Roan’s look. Forletta broke down Roan’s hairstyle to Us Weekly, sharing, “The inspiration behind Chappell’s hair tonight was to create something that authentically matched her — but bigger and better. Each product we chose to use was intentional to tie the entire look together and make her stand out on the carpet.”
Stylist Genesis Webb, meanwhile, was busy guarding Roan’s gown over night and told E! that she even slept with the number in her room on Saturday, February 1, to ensure that nothing happened to it.
This year, Roan is set to perform at Music’s Biggest Night, along other stars including Billie Eilish, Charlie XCX, Cynthia Erivo and Sabrina Carpenter.
The pop star, who went viral in 2024, is also nominated for several gramophones, including Best New Artist, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance for her hit, “Good Luck, Babe!” Roan is also up for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Performance for her album, The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Queen.
While it’s her first Grammys, Roan has had plenty of red carpet opportunities (and performances) to show off her personal style.
In September 2024, she looked as cool as ever in a Y/PROJECT gown featuring a plunging neckline and a sheer silhouette. While posing for photographers, she wore a mint Palace Costume and Prop Co. cape, which she later took off to draw attention to her Soma Faitanin neckties and her chain Juniper Rose gloves. Roan teamed her look with a long pointy manicure and a statement cross necklace.
Roan again slayed at Olivia Rodrigo’s Guts World Tour movie premiere in a red frock that was embellished with florals and a thigh-high slit. Here’s to Roan’s winning sartorial debut on the 2025 Grammys red carpet!
Kim Kardashian is proving once again that she’s a chameleon when it comes to personal style.
“Love this new chop on Kim, we got 7 inches off her hair!” stylist Chris Appleton shared via Instagram on Sunday, February 2, along with a photo of the high-powered entrepreneur showcasing her fresh new look.
“(No it’s not a wig before u start lol),” the celebrity stylist continued in the caption. “To style we opt for an iconic Deep side part Tom Ford Gucci 96 inspired.”
Kardashian, 44, also shared photos of her new look via her Instagram Story on Sunday. In the photos, the reality television star also rocks a stunning, all-black, backless halter dress. The Balmian couture crocodile dress hugged Kardashian’s figure, featured a healthy dose of side-cleavage and showed off the influencer’s midsection.
“Congrats @emmagrde on such a special night raising money to support victims of the Altadena fire and support Black entrepreneurs and businesses @15percentpledge,” Kardashian wrote on one of the pictures, letting her fans and followers know that she was showcasing her new look for a good cause.
Of course, her recent cut is far from the first time Kardashian has debuted a dramatic hair switch-up. Back in August 2024 the mom of four showed off her fiery red new hair, which almost tricked fans who assumed she was simply wearing a wig. (In other words, stylist Appleton knows what he’s doing when he’s squashing wig rumors early.)
In photos shared via Instagram Story at the time, Kardashian wore her new red hair straight, with her (much longer) trusses pushed back behind her shoulders.
And back in 2022, Kardashian gave fans a look at how “tedious” a process it can be when trying to dye your hair the perfect color for an event as grand as the Met Gala.
“This hair dying process is so tedious and annoying. We don’t have a shampoo bowl, so we have to rinse it a million times. It is what it is,” Kardashian said at the time, adding that it took nearly two days to get her hair just right for her Marilyn Monroe-inspired look.
“It has to be the right color [and] my hair can’t fall out,” she continued. “We have to get it right because we have one day to dye it, so we are going to be up for the next 15 hours just dying it.”
Katy Perry is looking back on her 2015 Super Bowl performance with nothing but love.
Perry, 40, shared a series of photos from the big day nearly 10 years ago on Instagram, captioning the carousel, “Happy 10 year anniversary Super Bowl XLIX I will never forgive you, Left Shark.” Perry also took the opportunity to plug her upcoming Lifetimes tour. “Excited to do it all again on #THELIFETIMESTOUR!!!” she added.
Perry was confirmed as a performer at Super Bowl XLIX in November 2014. To kick off the show, the singer rode out onto the field during halftime show atop a giant prism metal tiger and immediately began singing her hit single, “Roar.”
She was soon joined by Lenny Kravitz, who played guitar during “Dark Horse” and “I Kissed a Girl.”
Perry was also joined onstage by a pair of sharks, one of whom went viral for his own, um, unique performance that night. As the notorious “Left Shark” later explained to NPR, “So there’s a set choreography. There’s also what’s called freestyle choreography, or, like, you get to move around or play your character as a dancer.”
The shark, real name Bryan Gaw and one of Perry’s longtime back-up dancers at the time, added that he intentionally danced in a funny way to take advantage of the moment. “I’m in a 7-foot blue shark costume. There’s no cool in that. So what’s the other option? Well, I’m gonna play a different character,” Gaw explained.
RJ Durell, Perry’s choreographer at the time, also spoke to Entertainment Tonight about the performance. “The sharks were given two main objectives. One, perform Katy’s trademark moves to the ‘Teenage Dream’ chorus, which they both did perfectly; and two, to have loads of fun, and bring to life these characters in a cartoon manner, giving them a Tweedledee/Tweedledum-type persona,” he said.
“Clearly, that was portrayed with the overzealous shark on the right hitting precise dance moves, while the left shark was playing up the more goofy, fun-spirited sports-fan mascot type, who was just happy to be at the Super Bowl.”
Perry announced her first tour in seven years on Monday, January 27. Tickets for the U.S. leg of the tour went on sale on Friday, January 31, and the tour will begin on May 7 in Houston, Texas.
The singer will briefly pause the U.S. part of the tour to head to Australia in June before she returns for July shows in Arizona and California. Her seventh studio album, 143, was released in September 2024.
Now that the 2025 Grammys red carpet has been rolled out, see the fashion statements that the industry’s biggest stars are already serving on music’s biggest night in real time, as it all goes down on Sunday, February 2, in Los Angeles, California.
With multiple multi-time Grammy winners scheduled to present (and possibly also collect) awards at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards, from Taylor Swift and Cardi B to SZA and Olivia Rodrigo, tonight promises to see no shortage of sartorial high notes.
On an occasion that favors those who turn out in the most outlandish, out-there fashions, the earliest A-list arrivals did anything but disappoint. Willow Smith set the tone for more-is-more skin in a two-piece sparkly black bra and high-waist briefs that left little to the imagination. St. Vincent, on the other hand, went more covered up in a 1991 Armani blazer dress and sheer black tights layered with white socks, plus Tiffany & Co. jeweler for added shine. Meanwhile, Chase Stokes combined tonal color with crisp tailoring in an emerald green V-neck shirt, sans tie, and slacks cinched with an extra-long metallic belt.
Below, see the brightest stars slay on the 2025 Grammys red carpet, from pitch-perfect dresses to anything-but-basic suits.
Ice skater Maxim Naumov is being cared for by a family friend “24 hours a day” after the loss of his parents, 1994 World Champions Evgenia “Zhenya” Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, who died in the recent Washington D.C. plane crash.
Friends of Naumov, 23, opened up toPeople in an interview published on Sunday, February 2 about the young skater’s day-to-day life since the fateful crash that claimed the lives of 67 people.
“I know a couple who is with him right now,” said Ekaterina “Katia” Gordeeva, a former teammate and close friend of Naumov’s parents. “They weren’t even in Washington yet, but … that morning [of the plane crash], we all connected right away, all the people from Simsbury.” Simsbury is the town where Naumov lived with his parents.
The woman staying with Naumov “is like a godmother to him, and she is with him right now there and her husband,” Gordeeva also explained.
Sixty-seven people, including 14 figure skaters, died in the crash on January 29. The skaters were returning home from the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Kansas on the American Airlines flight that collided mid-air with a military helicopter. The Skating Club of Boston sent 18 athletes to the competition, and CEO Doug Zeghibe said six members of the club’s team members were killed. No one survived the crash.
In addition to Evgenia Shiskova and Vadim, the team also lost Spencer Lane, his mother Christine Lane, and Jinna Han and her mother Jin Han.
“Our sport and this Club have suffered a horrible loss with this tragedy,” the club said in a statement. “Skating is a tight-knit community where parents and kids come together 6 to 7 days a week to train and work together. Everyone is like family. Of the skaters, coaches and parents on the plane, we believe six were from The Skating Club of Boston. We are devastated and completely at a loss for words.”
The statement continued, “These athletes, coaches and parents were returning from U.S. Figure Skating’s National Development Camp, following last week’s U.S. Championships in Wichita. This camp is for young competitive skaters of tomorrow with the most promise to be a champion of tomorrow. The Club sent 18 athletes to compete at the U.S. Championships. It sent 12 athletes to the National Development Camp.”
An investigation into the cause of the crash is ongoing. On Saturday, February 1, U.S. Figure Skating announced it had launched a fund intended to provide financial assistance to the family members of those who died in the crash.
Miles Teller provided an update on his and wife Keleigh Teller’s situation after losing their home in the Los Angeles wildfires.
“Many people have reached out, just either letting us know that they’re there emotionally or people are offering us their place,” Miles, 37, exclusively told E! News in an interview set to air on Monday, February 3. “I’m a Deadhead, and so I’ve had a lot of people reach out to Keleigh like, ‘I want to send Miles a Grateful Dead shirt.'”
He added, “Little stuff just means a lot, so it’s been very heartwarming.”
Last month, the actor told Extra TV that he and Keleigh, 32, were taking things one step at a time as they recover from losing their house. “We’re doing okay,” Miles told the outlet while promoting his latest film, The Gorge, on Thursday, January 30. “This is, honestly, this is a nice distraction. It’s just tricky.”
He continued, “I think every day you’re just kind of figuring things out a little more each day, and I’m lucky that I have a really wonderful life partner to go through this with.”
Keleigh, for her part, confirmed her and Miles’ home was no longer standing via Instagram on January 10 as wildfires ravaged the greater Los Angeles area. “To everyone reaching out I can’t thank you enough, your kind hearts have meant the world, I’ll never forget them,” she captioned her post. “Community has come out stronger than I could imagine, Pacific palisades I love you beyond measure you are a little slice of heaven, we will come back stronger than ever.”
Keleigh further mourned the one precious object she wished she had grabbed that was lost to the fire. “I wish I grabbed my wedding dress,” she wrote. “Wish I did a lot different but it doesn’t matter, stay safe, get out. There are no words. THANK YOU to the first responders fighting.”
Keleigh, who married Miles in September 2019, wore a Monique Lhuiller dress at her wedding.
Wildfires began in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 7, when fast-moving brush fires were swept through the Pacific Palisades and other nearby L.A. neighborhoods by the Santa Ana winds. Thousands of acres and structures were destroyed and at least 30 people were killed. After weeks of battling the flames, the wildfires are now 100 percent contained.
Miles and Keleigh are not the only celebrities to lose their homes in the fires, with stars like Paris Hilton and Milo Ventimiglia speaking out following the destruction of their homes.
Proud mom Brittany Mahomesshowed off a child-sized Range Rover and Mercedes belonging to her oldest children, Sterling and Bronze, via her Instagram Story on Sunday, February 2.
“Aww, he wants to ride with you,” Brittany tells her daughter, Sterling, in the video, who then indicates her brother can hop into the passenger seat — which he happily gets ready to do.
Brittany recently welcomed her third child with husband and Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes on January 12. In keeping with tradition, the pair gave the newborn a metallic name: Golden. Patrick and Brittany announced her third pregnancy via Instagram in July 2024. “Round three, here we come,” they captioned a video of their two kids showing off the baby’s sonogram photos as the family coordinated in white outfits.
The duo also showed off their newborn daughter’s nursery days after she was born. “When I found out I was having a baby girl, my mind immediately went to pink for the nursery,” Brittany explained in a video shared via Instagram at the time. “I really wanted to go very warm and pink with Golden’s nursery. And then obviously tying in the gold just to go with her name was really where we got most of the inspiration for her room.”
Not one to be slowed down, Brittany was back on the football field a week after giving birth to cheer on her husband at the Kansas City Chiefs’ divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans on January 18. The Chiefs went on to win the game.
Brittany was also on hand at the team’s next game the following weekend. She called out “disgusting” fans after someone made a photo of a Kermit the Frog toy dressed in a No. 15 jersey hanging from a pole. (The Chiefs ultimately defeated the Bills, securing their third consecutive trip to the Super Bowl.)
“Do we remember this Buffalo? Absolutely disgusting,” she wrote. “So as you go home tonight, I pray we become better people.”
The Chiefs are now on a path to potentially make history by winning the Super Bowl three times in a row — something Mahomes has discussed with reporters.
“I put every single season as its own season,” Patrick said in a press conference. “Every team is different. … I think it will be something that I look back at the end of my career if we’re able to go out there and get that three-peat, but at the same time, you just treat it as one season and one Super Bowl run, which is always hard to do.”
The 2025 Super Bowl will take place on Sunday, February 5 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Isaac Rochell is closing the chapter on his NFL career.
“After 19 years, it’s time to hang up the cleats. Football has shaped my life in ways I could never have imagined, and I’ll forever be indebted to the game and the NFL,” Rochell, 29, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, February 2. “A degree from Notre Dame, lifelong friendships, a platform to share my voice, and countless memories — these are just a few of the gifts football has given me.”
Alongside the message, Rochell shared a series of photos from games through the years, including a pic of him and his wife, Allison Kuch, posing on the field.
“I started playing in 6th grade, and I still remember crying before every practice—crazy how things change. My journey ended with moments I’ll never forget, surrounded by teammates who became family,” he wrote. “I was a 7th-round pick who defied the odds, grinding my way through 7 seasons in the NFL with nothing but hard work and persistence. While I’ll always love the game, it’s time to step into a new chapter—one where I take everything I’ve learned and apply it to what comes next.”
He concluded his caption, “I can’t wait to see where this next phase leads. Let’s get to work.”
Rochell was drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2017 and has since played defensive end on the Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns and Las Vegas Raiders. He was released by the Raiders in November 2023.
Rochell opened up about his decision to retire from the sport in the Sunday episode of his and Kuch’s “Sunday Sports Club” podcast.
“I was pretty much done around Thanksgiving. That’s when I was like, ‘Alright, that’s all she wrote. Still would’ve went somewhere,” Rochell said, to which Koch said, “I think you would have went somewhere the entire, like, regular season. I think if you got a call for practice squad I think you would just would have been like let me just go, like, ‘This is my last time, I know it’s my last time so let me just go.’”
Rochell, who welcomed daughter Scottie Bee with Kuch in December 2023, said he’s now focusing on “the next thing,” noting that he has meetings regarding broadcasting that he hopes “go well.”
“It’s just time,” he said. “I’m ready to deep dive into the next phase of my life and, like, I don’t know, I don’t want to waste more time.”
While reflecting on his career in the NFL, Rochell said he felt “super confident” with how it played out.
“I maximized every single bit of it. There’s not a piece in my career that I look back and I’m like, ‘Dang I could have done a little bit more there,’” he said. “I feel really good about it. I left it all on the field as they say and I had a really fun career.”
Blake Lively introduced an alleged rough cut of It Ends With Us at Colleen Hoover’s Book Bonanza in 2024.
Footage from the book convention has resurfaced online, showing Lively, 37, introducing an alleged unfinished version of the movie — directed by Justin Baldoni — to an audience of dedicated fans on June 15, 2024, in Grapevine, Texas.
“Literally this is not a bit, it’s literally not done,” Lively said of the movie in the footage. “To be honest, what really happened is we were like, ‘We’re going to show the movie,’ and the studio was like, ‘No, no, you’re going to show 20 minutes.’ We’re like, ‘No, we’re going to show the movie,’ and they’re like, ‘It’s not done.’ And I was like, ‘They don’t f—ing care,’” which was met with cheers from the crowd.
It Ends With Us was adapted to film by Sony Pictures and Wayfarer Studios, which was cofounded by Baldoni, 41.
“They were like, ‘If everything’s not perfect and it’s not done and what if we’re going to change things…,’” Lively said at the time, via the online video. “I was like, ‘These are the people who authored the success of the book. You guys are what matter, you guys seeing the movie is so important to us.”
Hoover, the author of the It Ends With Us novel, was present at the screening as well, saying in the footage, “It is an early, early cut.”
“We’re so excited,” the author continued. “You know, bussing 2,000 people to a movie theater sounds like a chaotic nightmare, so I just need you all to be excited and patient. This is a huge honor. We want it to go well.”
Lively added: “I literally brought the movie on an airplane. I have a folder and a disc, like a hard drive.” The actress also took the time to highlight a pair of jeans Hoover had supposedly complimented her on.
“The funny thing is, I have the cutest jeans ever I’m wearing tomorrow night,” Lively said. “Not sponsored, but they’re really, really cute and they’ve got flowers on them and they’re cut out. Colleen saw my jeans and she was inspired ‘cause she loves me and she [also] got these cute flower jeans. I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re going to be jean influencers.’”
Lively filed a lawsuit against Baldoni in December 2024, accusing the director of sexual harassment and creating a hostile work environment on the set of It Ends With Us. Baldoni has denied the allegations. He filed his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively, her publicist Leslie Sloan and Lively’s husband Ryan Reynolds, accusing the trio of civil extortion, defamation, false light invasion of privacy and more.
“This latest lawsuit from Justin Baldoni, Wayfarer Studios and its associates is another chapter in the abuser playbook. This is an age-old story: A woman speaks up with concrete evidence of sexual harassment and retaliation and the abuser attempts to turn the tables on the victim,” Lively’s lawyers told Us Weeklyin a statement responding to Baldoni’s lawsuit.
Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman told Us in a statement: “This lawsuit is a legal action based on an overwhelming amount of untampered evidence detailing Blake Lively and her team’s duplicitous attempt to destroy Justin Baldoni, his team and their respective companies by disseminating grossly edited, unsubstantiated, new and doctored information to the media.”
Baldoni’s filing made several claims against Lively. Among them was that she had allegedly not read It Ends With Us, and her lack of knowledge of the source material caused issues during filming.
“At one point, Lively insisted that her character ‘had money’ and could afford $5,000 shoes — despite being a fledgling small business owner,” the lawsuit states. “This forced Baldoni to rethink the entire script that had been in the works for well over a year and was approved by both Sony and Wayfarer [Studios]. … The wardrobe budget ballooned.”
Lively and Reynolds, 48, informed a federal judge on Thursday, January 30, that they would move to dismiss the lawsuit filed against them by Baldoni. Each side’s lawyers are set to appear in court on Monday, February 3, in the case’s first hearing.
Us reached out to representatives for both Lively and Baldoni for comment.
Trevor Noah returned to the Grammy Awards stage on Sunday, February 2, hosting the ceremony for the fifth year in a row. New voices such as Chappell Roan and Teddy Swims provided stiff competition for Grammys favorites — including Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish — at the 67th annual awards show.
Nominations were announced in November 2024, with Beyoncé receiving more nods than any other artist. She was up for 11 trophies following the success of her hit album Cowboy Carter, bringing her already impressive career total to a whopping 99, smashing the record she previously shared with her husband, Jay-Z. (The couple were tied at 88 nominations each before the 2025 Grammys.)
“Wow, I really was not expecting this,” Beyoncé said while accepting the award for Best Country Album, becoming the first Black woman to win the category. “I want to thank God. Oh, my God, that I’m able to still do what I love after so many years. I want to thank all the amazing country artists that accepted this album. … I just want to encourage people to do what they’re passionate about. And to stay persistent.”
Swift, who was nominated in six categories for her album The Tortured Poets Department, presented the award to Beyoncé. With her 2025 nods, Swift became the first woman to be nominated for Album of the Year seven times.

In the website launched by Baldoni, 41, and his legal team on Saturday, February 1, a posted “Timeline of Relevant Events” PDF claimed that Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 41, were “furious” with Wayfarer Studios and Baldoni for “positioning them as promoting the Film as a ‘Barbie film’ while elevating Baldoni to speak on the more serious messaging.”
“Reynolds and Lively purportedly believe [Melissa] Nathan is responsible for this positioning and demand that Wayfarer release a statement of contrition, taking accountability for the negative press toward Lively and Reynolds,” the docs claim. “They warn WME that absent compliance, the ‘gloves will come off.’ In turn, Reynolds tells WME that he would personally draft a statement for Wayfarer to release immediately.”
The statement was allegedly drafted in August 2024, the same month that It Ends With Us was released and Lively received backlash from fans for how she addressed the domestic violence theme of the movie. (Lively later provided domestic violence resources for those impacted by intimate partner violence via social media.)
“IT ENDS WITH US was a troubled production which we take full accountability for. We are very sorry to everyone we caused upset to privately and publicly. Blake Lively, Colleen Hoover, the entire cast and crew led with professionalism every step of the way, any negativity aimed at them is ours to own,” the alleged statement read. “We mutually agreed that the cast would be promoting the film separately and understood why. We have always said we are not perfect and even if unintentionally make mistakes, we will always own them.”
The alleged statement continued, “We hold ourselves accountable, it’s not anyone’s job but ours and that’s part of being ‘man enough.’ We will practice what we preach. We are learning and growing from the experience and we thank everyone for their patience as we find a better way to proceed. We are very proud of the film and the welcome arms that it’s been received. Part of our work is to have uncomfortable conversations for public growth. The film is doing that on screen and we are doing that off screen. Thank you to the cast crew and public for the opportunity to be imperfect and to be given the space to learn and grow.”
The alleged statement was signed, “With humanity and dedication.”
The docs allege that Jamey Heath and Jennifer Abel “are astounded that Reynolds and Lively blame Baldoni and Wayfarer for their self-inflicted PR nightmare.”
The docs claim that Heath had “consistently communicated that neither Wayfarer, Nathan, nor anyone on their team was manipulating the internet, using bots, or seeding stories about Lively’s or Reynolds’ character. All press stories were organic and directly resulted from Lively’s own tone-deaf marketing approach.”
Two WME executives, Heath and Abel, went on to participate in a call to review the statement that was allegedly drafted by Lively and Reynolds on behalf of Baldoni, Heath and Wayfarer Studios.
“Upon review, WME concurs with Wayfarer that the statement was vague, implies culpability without substance, and fails to address the issues at hand,” the docs read. “Furthermore, if the goal was to mitigate negative online attention directed at Lively, the statement would have the opposite effect. In response, Wayfarer, Baldoni, and Heath reject the demand, firmly refusing to issue any statement falsely assuming responsibility for non-existent issues.”
Us reached out to both Baldoni and Lively’s reps for comment after the website was launched.
News broke in December 2024 that Lively sued her It Ends With Us costar and director Baldoni for sexual harassment. He denied all allegations and countersued Lively, Reynolds, and her publicist, Leslie Sloane, seeking $400 million in damages.
Amid the legal battle, Lively and Reynolds allegedly told a federal judge that they are seeking to dismiss Baldoni’s lawsuit. Us reached out to Baldoni’s rep for comment at the time.
Princess Kate Middleton has shared some powerful parenting advice about the use of smartphones in a new study released on Sunday, February 2.
The study was published by the Royal Foundation Center for Early Childhood, which Middleton established in 2021 “to raise awareness of why the first five years of life are just so important for our future life outcomes.”
The study, titled “The Shaping Us Framework,” highlighted the importance of social and emotional development in young children and is based on information collected by academic, clinical and practitioner experts.
“Critically, babies and children learn to communicate not just by listening but through social interaction,” one section of the study viewed by Us Weekly reads.
It added that there was a “growing concern” about technoference, which the study defined as “technology-based interference, such as an adult looking at a smartphone during a conversation.”
It continued that technoference among parents or caregivers could reduce “critical” interactions with children and therefore negatively impact the development of a child’s communication skill development.
“As human beings, we are at our best when we are surrounded by love, safety, and security,” Middleton wrote in the foreword of the study. “We thrive when we are connected to one another, when we feel like we belong, feel seen, heard, and accepted for who we are.”
“This means taking a profound look at ourselves and our own behaviours, emotions and feelings,” she added.
Early childhood development has been an important cause for Middleton for several years. On Thursday, January 30, Kensington Palace announced that the royal had become patron of Tŷ Hafan, the first children’s hospice in Wales that Princess Diana supported before her death.
The study is released amid Middleton’s gradual return to public-facing duties after announcing in January that her cancer was in remission.
The royal opened up about completing chemotherapy treatment in September: “The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family.”
“Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown,” she said.
“This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life,” she continued, “which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.”
In an interview for Us Weekly’s latest cover story, Robert Hardman, author of The Making of a King: King Charles III and the Modern Monarchy, said Middleton’s children were the top priority during her treatment and recovery.
“Family was one of the reasons she didn’t announce her illness until relatively late in the day [March 22, 2024],” Hardman said. “It was the last day of school term, and they were keeping things normal for the children.”
“The priority was not her public image; the priority was her family.”
Paris Hilton and husband Carter Reum are happy in love.
The couple kicked off their whirlwind romance in November 2019 after Hilton called off her engagement to Chris Zylka one year prior.
“I’m so happy,” she told Us Weekly in February 2020. “This is the best time of my life right now.”
Hilton was immediately smitten by Reum, and he was quick to win over the entire family. When in February 2021, she celebrated by sharing a sweet dedication to her fiancé.
“When you find your soulmate, you don’t just know it. You feel it,” she wrote via Instagram. “I said yes, yes to forever. There’s no one I’d rather spend forever with.”
Shortly before the proposal, Hilton spoke candidly about wanting to start a family someday.
“I believe having a family and having children is the meaning of life,” she shared on an episode of the “Trend Reporter With Mara” podcast January 2021. “I haven’t got to experience that yet because I don’t feel that anyone really deserved that love from me and now, I’ve finally found the person who does, so I cannot wait for that next step.”
The couple officially tied the knot in November 2021 and have since expanded their family. Hilton and Reum announced the birth of their son, Phoenix, in January 2023 and the birth of a daughter, London, in November 2023.

Omari Hardwick has worked with some legends — he even has Denzel Washington, Snoop Dogg and Shaquille O’Neal’s numbers saved in his phone — but the Star Trek: Section 31 star says two celebrity interactions in particular have left him starstruck.
“My most starstruck moments were when Jon Voight and I literally bumped into each other and proceeded to give each other a bearhug,” Hardwick, 51, reveals exclusively in his 25 Things You Don’t Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now. “And when Unc Snoop [Dogg] decided to record a song for me for my birthday.”
The actor has also shared some fun moments with his Star Trek: Section 31 costar Michelle Yeoh. (The series is streaming now on Paramount+.)
“My favorite moment in Star Trek: Section 31 was the ballroom scene where [my character] Alok meets Emperor Philippa Georgiou [Yeoh] for the first time because the whole cast was involved,” he tells Us. “Another fun scene that didn’t make the cut was [this] scene between Michelle and I that involved a cake and a face.”

Kylie Jenner is ringing in son Aire’s 3rd birthday with a minions-themed bash.
Jenner, 27, offered a glimpse of the festivities via her Instagram Story on Sunday, February 2. In one snap, Jenner showed a pile of yellow presents with blue ribbons and matching balloons. In another video, sister Khloé Kardashian’s 2-year-old son, Tatum, was spotted interacting with life-size Minions.
Khloé also shared several photos and videos from the celebration, including a balloon-arch featuring Aire’s name and a shot of the little one hugging a Minion. “Happy birthday Aire! We looooove you,” she wrote via her Instagram Story.
One day before celebrating Aire, Jenner, 27, threw a festive Hello Kitty sleepover party for Stormi’s 7th birthday. (Stormi and Aire were born one day apart in 2018 and 2022, respectively.)
Jenner commemorated her kids’ birthdays in a sweet Instagram video on Saturday, February 1. “my world. happy birthday to my babies. ,” Jenner captioned a clip of the trio hugging.
Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner, shared a sweet tribute to the sibling duo on Saturday. “Happy Birthday, my precious Stormi and Aire! Watching you both grow has been the greatest joy—your love, laughter, and energy light up our lives! I love you to the moon and back. Can’t wait to celebrate you both all weekend long! ,” Kris wrote via Instagram, alongside a carousel of snaps of Stormi and Aire.
Kylie and ex Travis Scott initially called their son Wolf, but Kylie confirmed nearly one year after his birth that his name is Aire. Us Weekly broke the news in January 2023 that the on-again, off-again couple had split for good after spending the holidays apart. Two months later, Kylie was romantically linked to Timothée Chalamet.
