1 Ben’s out with the old It can be hard to know what to do with your ex’s stuff following a break-up. And unfortunately for Ben Affleck, he was left with a life-sized reminder of Ana de Armas following their split. Shortly after news broke they had parted ways, a man was seen throwing into the trash a large cardboard cut-out of the Cuban beauty out the front of the actor’s Brentwood mansion. Awkward! 2 Mrs Whistledown has gossip! Bridgerton fans rejoice! Mrs Whistledown has issued a formal invitation to the next social season, confirming the series has been renewed. The story will focus on eldest son Anthony Bridgerton (Jonathan Bailey), a reformed rake who decides it’s time to marry. 3 Gigi’s done staying mum Four months after welcoming her daughter with Zayn Malik, Gigi…

From the time they started dating, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have continually contended with social media’s dark side. In 2016, Harry confirmed his relationship with the former Suits actress for the first time when he released an unprecedented statement griping about the “outright sexism and racism” of social media trolls and web article comments. Since stepping down as senior royals, the pair have only amplified their outrage about harmful online habits. In October, Meghan opened up in a podcast interview about the “almost unsurvivable” hate she has faced, noting she had been told that in 2019 she was “the most trolled person in the entire world – male or female”. Now the personal has turned political. In a recent Fast Company interview, Harry shared how his outlook on social media has…

After 20 seasons, Kourtney Kardashian may have wrapped filming Keeping Up with the Kardashians for good, but fans are still staying tuned to her soap opera-worthy life. Eagle-eyed followers have been keeping tabs on social media flirtations between the eldest Kardashian sister, 41, and her longtime friend and neighbour, Blink-182 rocker Travis Barker. On January 23, things kicked up a notch when Kardashian and the drummer both shared poolside views of Kris Jenner’s holiday home on their respective Instagrams. “They’re in Palm Springs together,” a source finally confirmed to WHO’s sister publication People magazine. “They’ve been dating for about a month or two.” From the outside, this latest development may seem left of field, especially for fans who have been holding out hope for a reconciliation between Kardashian and her ex, Scott…

It’s been 10 years since Adele released her record-smashing album 21. And as she reflected on the milestone on social media on January 24, the British singer remarked on what a whirlwind it has been. “It’s crazy how little I remember of what it was like and how I felt a decade ago,” she shared. Today, Adele’s new life in Los Angeles is unrecognisable from her “depressed” life in 2011, when she penned the album while living in London at 21. And after finally agreeing on her divorce settlement with ex-husband Simon Konecki, 46, on January 21, and shedding an incredible 45kg, the 32-year-old vocal powerhouse is ready to start living her best life, find love and get back to work. The past year has seen the Grammy winner retreat to her…

Angelina Jolie was spotted on January 16 dressed head to toe in her signature all-black, spending a subdued Saturday with daughter Zahara. The pair shopped at Target and flicked through magazines at a paperstand before waiting in line at Starbucks. The sighting is the latest in a string of recent low-key family outings by Jolie, who has seemingly left behind much of her glamorous former life. “Angie has very little in the way of a social life and very few celebrity friends,” a source tells Us Weekly. “Other than her children, she doesn’t really have anyone else.” Ever since she burst onto the world stage as an uber-talented actress, the world has seen many iterations of Jolie. From a blood vial-wearing, brother-kissing wild child, to a mother-of-six and humanitarian, as well…
