Conor McGregor has called Machine Gun Kelly a “little vanilla boy rapper” after the Irish UFC star appeared to throw a punch at the rapper on the MTV VMAs red carpet on Sunday night.

Pictures from the event appeared to show Conor and Machine Gun Kelly being kept apart by security.

The former UFC champion attended the ceremony at the Barclays Centre in New York with his partner Dee Devlin, while the US musician arrived with his Hollywood actor girlfriend Megan Fox.

Following the red carpet altercation, the Dublin-born fighter insisted that “nothing” had happened.

“Absolutely nothing. I don’t know. He showed up, and I don’t know. I don’t know the guy,” Conor told Entertainment Tonight, 

“Nothing happened with me, I only fight real fighters, people that actually fight, you know what I mean.

“I certainly don’t fight little vanilla boy rappers. I don’t even know the guy. I don’t know anything about him, except that he’s with Megan Fox.”

Machine Gun Kelly, whose real name is Colson Baker, was also asked about the alleged altercation but walked away without answering the question.

Both men later appeared during the VMAs ceremony.

Machine Gun Kelly was also among the night’s winners, taking home the prize for best alternative in recognition of his song My Ex’s Best Friend.

He and Transformers star Megan have been dating since last year.

Ashton Kutcher Gets A Shower Of ‘Take A Shower’ Chants During Live US TV Appearance

Ashton Kutcher put in an appearance on a US sports show on Saturday, but his commentary about an upcoming football game was almost drowned out by the crowd.

The actor recently opened up about his and his wife Mila Kunis’s bathing habits, admitting he washes his “armpits and crotch daily and nothing else ever.”

The routine (or lack of) also extends to the couple’s children, now aged 4 and 6, with Mila revealing that when they were babies, she “wasn’t that parent that bathed my newborns, ever.” Ashton chimed in that they now clean the kids if they “can see the dirt on them.”

But during ESPN’s live College Game Day commentary segment on Saturday, Ashton’s comments came back to haunt him.

As he attempted to share his predictions from the commentary box on the Iowa vs. Iowa State football game, the crowd in the stadium can be clearly heard chanting “Take a shower”.

Ashton and Mila aren’t the only stars who are a little bit soap-shy.

Jake Gyllenhaal has also claimed that he’s not into bathing every day.

The Brokeback Mountain star told Vanity Fair: “More and more I find bathing to be less necessary, at times…. I do also think that there’s a whole world of not bathing that is also really helpful for skin maintenance, and we naturally clean ourselves.”

Meanwhile, Cardi B, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Jason Momoa have all gone out of their way to make it clear that they frequently shower and are not impressed at some of the revelations from fellow celebrities.

Jennifer Aniston Breaks Down In Tears During Ellen DeGeneres Show Appearance

An emotional Jennifer Aniston broke down in tears as she helped Ellen DeGeneres launch the farewell season of her daytime chat show.

The final run of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, which is coming to an end after the upcoming 19th season, begins airing next week and a sneak-peek sees the former Friends star among the guests.

It’s a full-circle moment for the actor, who was the first ever star to appear on the show when it launched in 2003.

In the teaser clip, Jennifer breaks down in tears as she walks out to greet the host in front of a fully masked studio audience.

“What the hell? This is not supposed to be emotional. God dang it,” Jennifer says.

Jen then jokes she had barely left the house in two years, before taking Ellen to task about the state of a welcome mat she gifted her when the show first started.

Late night host Jimmy Kimmel will be the first guest on the final season of The Ellen DeGeneres Show, with actress Tiffany Haddish, Kim Kardashian West and social media stars Charli and Dixie D’Amelio also appearing.

The final series of Ellen’s show comes in the wake of July 2020 reports of a “toxic” work culture on the show.

BuzzFeed News spoke with 36 anonymous ex-staffers, all of whom shared stories of the improper treatment they experienced or witnessed on set. Three producers left the show amid the allegations of “sexual misconduct and racially insensitive remarks.”

After that report, Warner Bros. said parent company WarnerMedia launched an investigation that revealed “some flaws in the show’s daily management.” The studio also said it was “disappointed that the primary findings of the investigation indicated some deficiencies related to the show’s day-to-day management.”

Before the workplace scandal, Ellen was one of the most popular personalities on US TV, known for her “be kind” mantra, often taking part in lavish giveaways or acts of charity.

Last year, she apologised to staff but denied the claims of a toxic workplace environment were the reason she is ending her chat show.

The One Show’s Jermaine Jenas Suggests Jennifer Aniston Isn’t A Morning Person During ‘Awkward’ Exchange

The One Show has a habit of bagging bona fide A-list stars to its tea time slot (don’t tell Graham Norton), and on Wednesday’s edition of the BBC One show, it had not one, but two Hollywood stars drop by.

Jennifer Aniston and Reece Witherspoon appeared by video link to chat about the second series of their Apple TV drama, The Morning Show, and Jen looked just as surprised to be there as we were to see her.

As hosts Zoe Ball and Jermaine Jenas kicked off the interview, some viewers commented that she didn’t look entirely comfortable and things appeared to take a bit of an awkward turn when Jermaine suggested she wasn’t a “morning person”.

When the Friends star was quizzed about going behind the scenes on a real morning TV show to get inspiration for their hit series The Morning Show, the actor explained:  “I learned the slow burn that it is.

“It’s a very vampire state of life and mind that you guys live in. Everybody comes alive in the middle of the night and it’s a slow-moving train.”

She continued: “I got there at five in the morning and the hallways were quiet and people are just slowly waking up and then all of a sudden, the train starts moving and it gets crazier and crazier.

“It’s utter chaos.”

Before she had finished speaking, Jermaine chipped in, saying: “Reese, I am going to be honest with you. Jennifer pretty much sold it to be that she is not a morning person, so I am going to ask you, are you a morning person?”

Surprised, Jennifer replied: “Did I sell that to you?”

Jermaine replied: “A little bit.”

The actor then asked: “Did I get a good deal?”

The exchange didn’t go unnoticed by some viewers…

Watch the full interview below, and decide for yourself if Jen really isn’t a morning person…

Cardi B announced the birth of her second child with husband Offset Monday in a sweet Instagram post showing the couple gazing at their new baby.

She captioned the photo simply, “9/4/21” ― presumably confirming the newborn arrived on 4 September ― and included dinosaur, blue heart and teddy bear emojis.

The WAP rapper and Migos member already have a daughter together, three-year-old Culture. Offset also has three older children from previous relationships.

Cardi B publicly revealed her pregnancy during the 2021 BET Awards in June.

During Migos’ Type S**t performance, she joined them onstage wearing a custom bodysuit with a mesh cutout showing her pregnancy bump.

The next day, she thanked fans for their “congrats and well wishes” in an Instagram post featuring an affectionate photo of herself and Offset.

“We listened to each other, communicated, prayed and then God blessed us and our family with another little blessing,” she wrote. “Our home feels so blissful and very busy… but we are ready and so happy!!”

Two weeks after the birth, the singer shared a new snap of her son, and told fans his name, which you might notice is not entirely dissimilar to his father’s.

She wrote: “2 weeks of loving you. I’ve never felt love like this before! Axel Oxlade-Chamberlain.” 

Perrie first announced she was expecting a child back in May, posting a close-up of her pregnancy bump on Instagram with the message: “So happy to be on this wild journey with my soulmate… We can’t wait to meet you baby Ox!”

During their pregnancies, Perrie and her bandmate Leigh-Anne have been hard at work, promoting new Little Mix music and filming music videos for Confetti, Heartbreak Anthem and Kiss My (Uh Oh), as well as their most recent offering Love (Sweet Love), which serves as the lead single from their upcoming greatest hits album.

Back in May, the two singers recalled the emotional moment that they each found out the other was pregnant.

“We were on a work Zoom and we were chatting about things that were coming up in our schedule because in Little Mix we are blocked out two years in advance,” Perrie explained. “I was thinking, ‘I won’t be able to do [certain things months down the line]’.

“I messaged my manager and she called me and said, ‘You’re pregnant’. I was like, ’How do you know?’, and she said, ‘Because I am pregnant’. Then she said, ‘Can I add someone to the call?’

Perrie continued: “I just heard this voice that said, ‘Perrie! You too!’ And then we just cried our eyes out. We couldn’t believe it. What timing! It wasn’t planned.”

Celebrities are singing their excitement for Beyoncé in honor of the Queen Bey’s milestone birthday.

Beyoncé, who turned 40 on Saturday, received a lot of love from fellow stars and fans on social media, with many referring to the big day as #BeyDay.

Jennifer Hudson, who starred alongside Beyoncé in the 2006 movie musical Dreamgirls, tweeted sweet birthday wishes to the chart-topping singer.

“Dreamgirls will never leave you!” she wrote. “Happy birthday to my forever Dreamgirl and Virgo sister @Beyonce! I love u!”

Missy Elliott also shared her pride in Beyoncé.

“Happy Birthday sis I am PROUD of your growth” she wrote, adding that her “success is DESERVING.”

Though it’s difficult to encapsulate Beyoncé’s overall achievements and contributions to music and entertainment succinctly, her official website shared an extensive collage with photos representing some of the singer’s most iconic moments over the last four decades.

During an interview with Harper’s Bazaar last month, Beyoncé shared that she hopes her 40s will be “fun and full of freedom.”

“I want to feel the same freedom I feel on stage every day of my life,” she said.

“I want to explore aspects of myself I haven’t had time to discover and to enjoy my husband and my children. I want to travel without working. I want this next decade to be about celebration, joy, and giving and receiving love. I want to give all the love I have to the people who love me back.”

Stars continued to honour Beyoncé with tributes and sweet notes on Twitter over the course of the day:

Elton John Didn’t Exactly Pull Any Punches When Critiquing His Good Friend Ed Sheeran’s Style

He’s renowned for his dressed-down approach when it comes to the red carpet, so many fans might have been surprised to see Ed Sheeran making his way into the GQ Men Of The Year awards on Wednesday night.

The chart-topping singer posed for photographers dressed in an elaborate and brightly-coloured Versace suit jacket – which it turned out had been lent to him by a famous friend.

Well, we say “lent to him”, it doesn’t actually sound like Ed had much choice in the matter.

Speaking to reporters on the night, Ed admitted that his ensemble was a rental from his pal Sir Elton John, after the Rocket Man legend laid into him over his fashion choices.

“I have always been the non-stylish person. I have been lent a nice suit,” he explained.

Ed continued: “This is from Donatella Versace and basically I have gone round Elton’s for dinner and he said, ‘You’ve dressed terribly for the last 10 years, let me sort you out’. So this is Elton sorting me out.”

Britney Spears Accuses Father Jamie Of Trying To ‘Extort’ Money From Her

In new legal filings, Rosengart called for Jamie Spears’ immediate resignation, and accused him of trying to “extort” her.

Rosengart said: “Mr Spears and his counsel are now on notice: the status quo is no longer tolerable, and Britney Spears will not be extorted.

“Mr Spears’s blatant attempt to barter suspension and removal in exchange for approximately $2 million (£1.45 million) in payments, on top of the millions already reaped from Ms Spears’s estate by Mr Spears and his associates, is a non-starter.”

He added that Jamie’s resignation would be the “legally correct, decent and graceful thing to do”, adding: “[Jamie’s] idea of ‘orderly’ is to hang on until someone first brands him ‘father of the year’ and awards him a gold star for his ‘service’.

“In other words, although Mr Spears has, at last, been forced to recognise that it is best for his daughter if he departs now, he claims the right to drag his feet because it is best for him to cling to this conservatorship until he feels sufficiently-vindicated.”

Britney Spears has twice given testimony about the conservatorship in recent history that has been made public, in which she’s made a string of shocking claims.

This included being forced to take lithium in place of her regular medication and be on birth control despite her hopes to have a child with her boyfriend, Sam Asghari.

More recently, she said she wanted her father to be charged with conservatorship abuse.

Last month Jamie Spears expressed his intention to step down as his daughter’s legal guardian, though he did not offer any specifics about when he would do so.

He also insisted that there were “no actual grounds for suspending or removing” him from the arrangement, stating he’s been the “unremitting target of unjustified attacks” regarding the conservatorship.

“[Jamie] does not believe that a public battle with his daughter over his continuing service as her conservator would be in her best interests,” his legal team said in court documents.
