Pete Davidson ‘demanding sex non-stop’ from Kim Kardashian

Pete Davidson, 28, and Kim Kardashian, 41, reportedly don’t have much in common “outside of the bedroom,” so it’s no wonder that with all the mind-blowing sex, that’s all the comedian wants.

Kardashian, however, is reportedly “in love” even though it’s probably just lust. Either way, all the power to them. Let them live!

Ricky Gervais tweets epic Oscars slam after Will Smith outburst

Ricky Gervais wasn’t at the Oscars but he was trending soon after – for an epic tweet that proves exactly why he should either host or be a presenter at the next ceremony.

Rather than go for an obvious, admittedly lame G.I. Jane joke at the expense of Jada Pinkett Smith, Gervais gave fans a sneak peek at how he would have opened the show if he had been asked to host this year’s ceremony and he would’ve taken aim at just about everyone in the audience – starting with the $137,000 swag bag all the guests received, which included a voucher for $12,000 worth of liposuction and a stay at a Scottish castle.

LILLEY: Suzuki, celebrities want to keep you down while living high life

Ask any motorist who has to travel across the regions of York, Peel and Halton if a highway is sorely needed and most would say yes.

But ask celebrities who live nowhere near these areas and, apparently, they’re against it.

Brian Lilley points out how some famous, hypocritical Canadians have signed a letter in support of the Vancouver-based David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign to stop the stretch of highway that would run westward from Hwy. 400 — just south of King Rd. in Vaughan — scooping under Bolton and Caledon before heading south at Mississauga Rd. and connecting with Hwys. 401 and 407, near Winston Churchill Blvd.

The letter these well-heeled, concerned souls signed off on states that we need public transit more than new highways and the congestion they will bring. But how would they even know? Drive or take a bus around the GTA, then let us know how you did.

NFL star Antonio Brown demanding $5Gs from model after romp

Troubled NFL star Antonio Brown is staying anything but classy after he posted a photo of himself and model Cydney Christine in bed, then threatened to “expose“ her if she didn’t return the $5,000 she “owes” him.

Flag on the play.

Jada Pinkett Smith laughed after Will slapped Chris Rock

Just when you thought you saw the video of Will Smith slapping Chris Rock, someone shared another angle of the shot which shows Jada Pinkett Smith — whose face is not visible — appearing to laugh in reaction to Will’s smack to Chris’ face.

Others in the audience were also laughing at that point, until the realization hit everyone that s— just got real, resulting in the laughter coming to a screeching halt.

Jada appeared to let out another chuckle after Rock attempted to diffuse the tension by commenting, “The greatest night in the history of television,” but no word if it was more of a nervous, uncomfortable giggle or if she truly found the whole situation hilarious.

Is Slapgate 2022 finally over? One can dream.
