Pitch Perfect star Anna Camp kisses new girlfriend after going public with same-sex romance
In photos obtained by Page Six, the You star was seen puckering up for a passionate kiss while out in Los Angeles last week.
Camp wore a casual blue top and jeans for the outing as she took Whipkey's face into her hands for the public kiss.
Whipkey, who rocked a backwards hat and jean shorts, drew the Pitch Perfect actress closer, embracing her waist as they put their love on display.
In another pic, Whipkey appeared to kiss Camp's cheek as the actress turned her head to showcase her blond hair gathered into a carefree messy bun.
In a third image, Whipkey lovingly kissed the actress's hand as she looked on, and in yet another, she pulled Camp close for a tight embrace.
The outing happened the same day Camp soft-launched her relationship with the on-set stylist via her Instagram Stories Tuesday.
In a photo re-shared from Whipkey's account, the actress stared into the distance while sitting at a candlelit table.
'Her smile is a poem, her eyes are roses, her laugh is music for dancing,' Whipkey wrote over the romantic pic.
The Bride Hard star shared a similar photo of Whipkey sipping a glass of wine during a sunset date via her Instagram Stories earlier in May, captioning it 'date night' with red rose emojis.
And in a recently resurfaced TikTok originally posted in February, the duo shared thoughts about their romance.
After each recalled their worst dating experience, Camp and Whipkey were asked what they 'expect' from a first date with a man.
'I don't expect anything,' Camp replied, gesturing toward Whipkey. 'Not anymore because I'm dating a woman, and it's great.'
'Same, same,' Whipkey agreed.
Camp, 42, was previously married to her Pitch Perfect co-star Skylar Astin, 37. The former couple tied the knot in September 2016.
Camp and Astin separated in April 2019 and Camp subsequently filed for divorce.
'We can confirm that we have decided to separate, and this decision was made mutually and amicably,' the actress's rep told Page Six at the time.
'We kindly ask for privacy as we navigate this transition.'
Camp is currently gearing up for the June release of Bride Hard. She stars opposite another Pitch Perfect co-star — Aussie actress Rebel Wilson — in the upcoming action comedy film.

Jurassic World Rebirth uses Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson to try reinvigorating our dinosaur awe
It's become surprisingly easy to take dinosaurs for granted. After the past decade of overstuffed Jurassic World movies, the thrill of beholding the prehistoric beasts on screen — once considered a revolutionary feat of VFX artistry in the original Jurassic Park — no longer holds the same allure. What: A team of mercenaries travel to an abandoned dinosaur research facility to track down several legendary beasts. Starring: Scarlett Johansson, Jonathan Bailey, Mahershala Ali Directed by: Gareth Edwards Where: In cinemas now Likely to make you feel: Like we could've waited longer to revive this franchise When we meet Dr Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey, Wicked) — the latest sexy scientist of the Jurassic Park universe — he's in the middle of closing up his dinosaur exhibit in a New York museum. Ever since dinosaurs were unleashed onto the earth's unsuspecting civilian population in Jurassic World Dominion, the general public has tired of their presence, and his expertise has gone unappreciated. Outside, the presence of a sleeping dino is a mere commuting headache. If the box office success of the Jurassic World trilogy is any indicator, the real world has yet to succumb to dino-fatigue, even as the films' critical reception reached disastrous new lows for the franchise. Dinosaurs roamed the earth for 167 million years, as Dr Loomis is eager to remind us; they've endured worse than bad reviews. Still, fending off extinction is no easy task. Jurassic World Rebirth now faces the task of instilling audiences with a fresh sense of awe after its predecessor maxed out the franchise's high-concept potential. Like the surprise introduction of The New Avengers in Thunderbolts, this rebooted entry is populated by a less-than-reputable cast of B-grade thugs, including Zora (Scarlett Johansson), an ex-Blackwater mercenary looking for a fresh start, and her go-to bootlegger Duncan (Mahershala Ali, Moonlight). Along with Dr Loomis, the crew is enlisted to extract DNA from three legendary dinosaur species (on sea, air and land), whose unique biological makeup may hold the key to curing heart disease — and an unbeatable payday for the unscrupulous Big Pharma exec (Rupert Friend, Companion) who tags along for the ride. (The anti-greed ethos of these films is more than a little amusing, considering just how thoroughly Michael Crichton's source material has been regurgitated over seven instalments.) On the boat ride to its primary destination — an abandoned research facility for the original Jurassic Park, teeming with rejected genetic experiments — the team picks up a family stranded in the middle of the ocean, whose members (a father, two daughters, and a pampered boyfriend) offer up some semblance of humanity in comparison to the glib, generically traumatised operatives of the main team. Screenwriter David Koepp, who penned the original Jurassic Park screenplay (and this year's excellent Black Bag), litters Rebirth's dialogue with listless quips that embarrass an otherwise capable cast. Johansson comes off as surprisingly wooden, possibly exhausted; presumably there are only so many more times one can volley crisp retorts with a nonchalant affect after spending a decade in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. With so much of pop culture now dedicated to imitating Spielberg (and/or stretching his greatest hits well past their sell-by date), it's hard not to yearn for the real thing, especially as Rebirth is seemingly configured more as a love letter to his greatest hits than to Jurassic Park itself. The protracted ocean voyage charts the treacherous waters of Jaws, but with less ingenuity than recent aquatic scenes in Avatar 2 and Godzilla Minus One. A stand-out set-piece in the vein of Indiana Jones sees the crack team scale a precipitous cliff face to infiltrate an ancient temple, with winged dinosaurs circling nearby. If you thought Temple of Doom stretched the limits of what an inflatable dinghy could do, just wait until you see how it fares against the teeth of a T. rex. Director Gareth Edwards (The Creator) at least manages to outstrip most other imitators with his keenness for stripped-back suspense, occasionally harking back to the time when the ripples in a glass of water were just as terrifying as coming face-to-face with a Velociraptor. Jurassic World Rebirth may not evoke the glassy-eyed wonder of its forebears, but it modestly succeeds as a thrill ride through less-than-inspired terrain. It's a shame that more of Edwards' own style doesn't come through. The tactility, momentous scale and severe tone of his previous work (a highlight being his 2014 Godzilla reboot, which finally made the beloved kaiju stick with American audiences) has been glossed over for a generic, crowd-pleasing tone. Credit where it's due, the film still looks appreciably better than the prior Jurassic World films, trading queasy digital excess for a more restrained, analogue approach that flourishes in the forbidding expanse of its tropical locale. Apart from their obsessive recycling of ideas (how many more dilapidated labs must we visit?) the core problem with these movies is that they are far too expensive, and far too respectable. Jurassic World Rebirth teases mutant dinosaur freaks, but its primary deviant — a T. rex hybrid with a couple of extra limbs and a xenomorph-inspired skull — still lacks the enduring fear factor of a pack of beady-eyed raptors. An A-grade schlock director like Larry Cohen would never let this kind of opportunity go to waste. Though it suggests a new beginning, the film itself shares too much of its genetic code with the original Jurassic Park. If that's all this series can offer, then maybe it should let these poor creatures rest — but another meteor will strike before that happens. Jurassic World Rebirth is now showing in cinemas.

‘Hit by a car': Flying shark headbutts surfer off his board
A surfer said it felt like getting 'hit by a car' after he was knocked off his board by a shark leaping out of the water. Darren Kaye was minding his own business while surfing at New Smyrna Beach in Orlando, Florida on a Friday evening when he was headbutted by a spinner shark in a bizarre scene which has since gone viral. Sharing the video on his own Instagram recently, Mr Kaye wrote that the shark 'came out of nowhere and hit me like a truck. 'His nose slammed me right in the face, his pectoral fin bruised my left bicep and got slammed right off my lost '96 RNF redux. Just another day at the inlet!' he wrote. While it wasn't surprising that Mr Kaye met a shark, with Florida beaches notorious for shark interactions, particularly New Smyrna Beach, which is known as the 'shark bite capital of the world', it was the way that they met that raised eyebrows. The area is known for to have blacktip, spinner and bull sharks. While bull sharks are the most dangerous, blacktip and spinners are usually more common in terms of sightings because of their tendency to jump out of the water. Spinner sharks are not usually known as dangerous to humans with no recorded fatalities from an unprovoked attack. In November 2024, How Stuff Works reported that there had only been 16 known attacks. Kaye, who spoke to local TV station WFTV 9, said he had seen sharks around the area and was keeping an eye out when he was hit by the leaping shark. 'I was just really happy its mouth wasn't open cause that's how they fish,' Mr Kaye said. Spinner sharks get their name from the way they move in the air when feeding and the Florida Museum of Natural History claims they can reach 20 feet (6m) above the water's surface. But Mr Kaye admitted he wasn't too sure what had hit him and got out of the water as quickly as he could. 'I got right back on that board and my pulse went to like 195 beats per minute in a second and I paddled as fast as I could like out of the way,' he said. 'I have a scar (from getting hit by a car) and that's like what it felt like. It felt like getting hit by a car. It was really strong and powerful. They're all muscle, you know.' Despite the incident, Mr Kaye wasn't put off, saying he returned to surf later that weekend. Mr Kaye was lucky, but it's not always the case. Australian surfers were praised last week after coming to the rescue of a 16-year-old who was attacked by a 2m shark in the water off Norris Headland at Cabarita Beach on the NSW North Coast last week. The shark mauled the right side of the teen's body, injuring his leg, hand and arm. Bystanders rushed to the boy's aid as he cried for help, pulling him from the water. One heroic person even reportedly punched the shark to keep it away as the bystanders helped the teenager from the water. The teen is still reportedly in a serious condition.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs: The rise, fall and acquittal of a hip hop mogul
The streets of Harlem have changed a lot in the half century since Janice Combs brought home her baby son Sean. What was once an area known for violence, crime and poor living conditions has become a Black mecca of arts, music and culture. Meanwhile, over that five decades, one of Harlem's most famous sons Sean Combs rose from nothing to become the king of New York. He lived large, went far and became something his lawyers told a New York jury last week was very hard to become — "a self-made successful black entrepreneur". Graffiti in Harlem, New York.

( ABC News: Cameron Schwarz ) The Empire State Building in New York. ( ABC News: Cameron Schwarz ) But just a subway ride away from his Harlem birthplace, his kingdom nearly came crashing down in a Manhattan courtroom. A jury of 12 New Yorkers — not the stars and celebrities he spent his life surrounded by — has decided his fate. He is now a convicted criminal, having been found guilty of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, but he was acquitted on the most serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, both of which could have seen him spend the rest of his life behind bars. Before the verdict was handed down, the music mogul's former publicist Rob Shuter told the ABC his team had been planning a party, a celebration fit for a man famous for putting on a show. A sketch of Sean Combs in court on June 24, 2025. ( Reuters: Jane Rosenberg ) "And knowing Puff, you know who'll be on the top of his invite list? Twelve people — the jurors," Shuter told 7.30. While he waits to learn his sentence, Shuter believes Diddy may also be planning an appeal. "He will fight it. He's not the type of person to say 'I respect that judgement'. No, I think he's going to fight this until the very, very, very, very end." Harlem to Howard dropout Sean Combs with his mother Janice Combs in 2001. ( Getty: George De Sota ) While Harlem is essential to Diddy's origin story, he actually spent much of his childhood in comparatively safe Mount Vernon, just north of the Bronx. His mother relocated the family there after Sean's father Melvin Combs — a drug dealer — was shot to death. Sean was just three at the time and his mother originally told him that his father died in a car accident — a lie he uncovered when he got older. He later shared the story during a commencement speech at Howard University in 2014: "When I typed in my father's name and the day he died, I read in the Amsterdam News that he had been murdered in a drug deal gone bad," he said. "Right there in that library I realised there's nothing greater than a mother's love and desire to protect her child." Janice Combs outside the courthouse on the first day of her son's trial. ( Reuters: Jeenah Moon ) Combs had enrolled at Howard University in Washington DC to study business but his education took a back-seat to his side hustle; throwing huge parties as well as an internship at New York label Uptown Records. Drawn back to New York and its thriving hip hop scene, he ultimately dropped out of Howard and returned to his birthplace, honing his skills in the music industry and continuing to throw popular weekly dance parties he called Daddy's House. Hip hop, R&B and rap were about to have a huge cultural moment and Diddy made sure he was front and centre.

( Getty Images: Nitro ) Combs founded Bad Boy Records in 1993 and had an early success that would thrust him into the centre of the hip hop scene and the violent East Coast-West Coast rivalry. One of his first big acts as a producer was the Notorious B.I.G who became an instant star when his debut album, "Ready to Die" dropped in 1994. Not content to be the invisible hand behind the music, Combs — known as Puff Daddy at the time — placed himself at the centre, rapping on tracks and sharing the limelight with his artists. Tupac Shakur was shot dead in 1996. () In 1997, Biggie was shot and killed in a drive-by murder that remains unsolved but was widely seen as retaliation for the similar killing of '90s West Coast hip-hop star Tupac Shakur. He had been partying with Combs at the Soul Train Awards in LA but the pair left in separate cars and when Biggie's car was stopped at a red light, he was shot through the driver's side window four times. Just as he had in life, Combs capitalised on his friendship with the rapper in death, releasing the chart-topping song "I'll Be Missing You", which sampled The Police's Every Breath You Take, penetrated American mainstream music and found him new fans.

( Getty Images: Jon Furniss ) According to Shuter, Combs threw parties to "make himself the king of New York". "He knew he wasn't a terribly good rapper. He was still trying to get in with the in crowd … and he figured out 'I can make a lot more friends and get a lot more attention by throwing the best parties," Shuter told 7.30. Shuter says Combs got the idea for his famous white parties from novelist and screenwriter Truman Capote's lavish Black and White Ball of the 1960s. "He knows that if he makes himself the king of New York nightlife, everything else is going to follow." Sean Combs takes centre stage at one of his White Parties.

( Getty Images: Bryan Bedder ) According to several lawsuits, the white parties had a dark side, with claims of rape, sex trafficking and drink-spiking which Sean Combs has always denied. In a home video from one such party, Diddy can be heard telling guests to send their kids home, saying to the children: "That's a wrap for y'all because this thing turns into something that when you get older, you're gonna want to come to". Diddy's downward spiral While rumours and accusations had swirled for years, Diddy's fall from grace really began in late 2023. Using a MeToo era law that temporarily allowed alleged victims to file civil claims outside of the statute of limitations, Combs' former long-term partner Cassie Ventura sued.

( Getty: John Shearer ) "With the expiration of New York's Adult Survivors Act fast approaching it became clear that this was an opportunity to speak up," she said at the time. The civil case was settled within 24 hours for $US20 million ($30 million). Months later, surveillance video emerged showing Combs grabbing, shoving, dragging and kicking Ventura in a hotel hallway in California in 2016. Prominent MeToo lawyer Gloria Allred said that video no doubt caught the attention of prosecutors and led to the current criminal trial. The rapper's homes in Los Angeles and Miami were later raided, and police found guns and ammunition, drugs, and large amounts of baby oil and lubricant related to alleged days-long sex marathons dubbed "freak offs". Combs was charged with racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking – charges he would be acquitted of – while being found guilty of the lesser charge of transportation to engage in prostitution. Prosecutors had tried to allege that over almost two decades with the aid of staff or "foot soldiers" who protected his reputation, that Combs abused, threatened and coerced women "to fulfil his sexual desires, protect his reputation, and conceal his conduct".

( Supplied ) Among the more confronting claims are that Combs asked Ventura to get into an inflatable pool filled with baby oil, ordered an escort to urinate in her mouth, and forced her to keep having sex even with painful back-to-back urinary tract infections. Combs' lawyers sought to paint the allegations as merely a swinger's lifestyle, describing his relationship with Ventura as a "modern love story". Ms Allred scoffed at the suggestion. "I don't call it love if a man is beating his girlfriend, his wife, or a significant other," she said. "That's not love. That's sexual abuse. That is gendered violence." Ultimately, the jury — made up of eight men and four women — found the prosecution had failed to prove these relationships and the so-called "freak-offs" at the centre of the allegations were not consensual. Mob bosses and music moguls One of the more confounding and complicated elements in the trial of Combs was the use of the racketeering conspiracy charge against him. RICO (Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act) was first passed in the 70s to prosecute members of the Mafia and was made famous in the movie The Godfather. Racketeering charges and America's obsession with the Mafia as portrayed in The Godfather go hand-in-hand. In short, the prosecution alleged that Combs was the head of a criminal enterprise and that he and his inner circle of "foot soldiers" broke a number of laws including kidnapping, drug distribution and bribery. Defence Attorney Mitchell Epner said the prosecution had to prove that Combs had an entourage that alongside its legitimate business, had an ongoing criminal purpose as well. The prosecution ultimately failed to establish that beyond reasonable doubt. Sean Combs at a 2006 White Party in St Tropez, France. ( Getty Images: Stuart Morton ) He says the reason they may have chosen this charge is to cover the almost two decades of conduct the case covers. "The RICO charge is a kind of magic eraser for the statute of limitations, because the crime starts when the conspiracy starts and doesn't end until the conspiracy ends," he told 7.30. "So the government has been able to charge well over a decade of bad acts, many of which, if you were charging only the underlying crime, the statute of limitations would have long since expired." 'The most famous man in the world' For seven weeks, in New York rain and stifling heat, lines have stretched down the block from the Manhattan courthouse where the case of United States v Combs has been heard. Journalists, YouTubers, TikTokers and curious New Yorkers have forced the court to open multiple overflow rooms so they could watch the hearing live-streamed, sometimes bickering with each other outside, often snickering at the sordid details.

( ABC News: Cameron Schwarz ) Private trauma has become public entertainment alongside the always popular spectacle of a dramatic fall after such a meteoric rise. Shuter hasn't spoken to his former client during the trial but he believes there's a strange irony in the man who courted fame and was once the ringleader of his own circus, finding himself at the centre of this one. Rob Shuter is Sean Combs' former publicist. ( ABC News: Cameron Schwarz ) "Puffy always told me he wanted to be the most famous man in the world. I would argue today he's one of them," Shuter said. "So there's a sick part of Puffy that will actually be enjoying this moment. He's on the lips of everybody. He's on the covers of newspapers. He's all over the television." The charges against Sean Combs have drawn out supporters of the women he allegedly victimised. ( ABC News: Cameron Schwarz ) As Combs sleeps in a Brooklyn jail waiting to learn his sentence, he also faces dozens of civil lawsuits. So despite his temporary win, the man who spent a lifetime courting fame hasn't seen the last of this unwanted spotlight. Watch 7.30, Mondays to Thursdays 7:30pm on ABC iview and ABC TV
