Dua Lipa confirms long-speculated engagement to actor Callum Turner
Fans had theorized the ring Lipa began sporting in photos at the end of December signaled an engagement, but the pair did not publicly confirm the rumor for months, even after appearing together at last month's Met Gala. Lipa says they haven't set wedding plans yet — she's still on tour and Turner is filming, 'so we're just enjoying this period,' she told British Vogue, adding that they try not to spend more than 2 ½ weeks apart.

Celebrity Beauty Looks from the Bezos-Sánchez Wedding 2025
If you've opened social media for even a minute over the last week, your feed has likely been flooded with photos from Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's now-infamous wedding. The canals of Venice were lined with protests condemning the hundred million dollar event in a city deeply threatened by climate change, and just a fraction of Bezos' net worth could probably save Venice—but instead, he opted to throw a star-studded wedding featuring Dolce & Gabbana, a foam party, and a fleet of private boats. However, the one thing I could get behind during the nuptials was the celebrity beauty looks. At the Met Gala or award show carpets, the A-list beauty looks are to the nines with full glam squads and updos that won't budge for days. But for the Venetian wedding, we saw surprisingly attainable beauty looks. Think: light glam and bouncy blowouts that I could replicate myself if someone gave me 30 minutes and my Dyson Airwrap. While jetting off to Venice and staying at the Aman for a billionaire's wedding isn't exactly relatable, all of these beauty looks actually are. Keep scrolling for our favorite celeb wedding guest glam—like Kendall Jenner's effortless hair look and Sydney Sweeney's voluminous blowout, which I'm absolutely saving for all my summer weddings and beyond. I'm loving everything about Kris Jenner's voluminous updo. She looks like true Kardashian royalty. This bouncy blowout and baby doll blush look is everything. And super easy to replicate. Oprah's beachy curls with caramel highlights are simple yet elegant. I'm obsessed with this low, slicked-back bun. Kendall's effortless updo is so chic. I will be copying this on the days when I'm too lazy to actually do my hair. Prayers that it will look this good. Karlie Kloss, thank you for the slicked-back updo inspo. I love the defined middle part and the way her side pieces are tucked into the ponytail. Sydney Sweeney's blonde curls are the perfect amount of beachy. I'm not quite sure how Ellie Goulding got on the invite list... but at least her sleek blowout looks fab!

Is EA Sports reviving its college basketball video game franchise?
EA Sports sent a cryptic tweet on Monday that hints at the revival of its college basketball video game franchise. Although not as popular as its college football franchise that was revived last year, EA was among the industry's leaders in basketball gaming in the early 2000s. Its NCAA Basketball games (with earlier iterations named NCAA March Madness) were discontinued in 2009. Advertisement 'Bring the Madness. Let's run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame,' EA Sports tweeted. 'There's nothing like College Sports,' another one of its accounts tweeted. 2K Games, whose NBA 2K franchise is the most popular basketball game in the market, also used to have a college basketball franchise. Both developers ended their college hoops games due to multiple variables, not limited to player likeness concerns which froze EA's college football franchise. A public relations representative for EA Sports wasn't able to provide further details on plans for a college basketball game. The rep referred The Associated Press back to the tweet. A 2K rep did not immediately respond to the AP's inquiry about their plans for college basketball gaming. ___ AP Sports: The Associated Press

A$AP Rocky might have spilled a sweet detail about his and Rihanna's third child – or trolled us
A$AP Rocky may have given a spoiler about his and Rihanna's new addition. Speaking to 'Entertainment Tonight's' Kevin Frazier at the 'Smurfs' world premiere in Brussells, A$AP Rocky spoke about their third child, joking that he and Rihanna want to have a big family, much like the Wayans family. (Siblings Keenan Ivory, Kim, Damon, Shawn and Marlon – as well as the next generation Damon Jr., Damien and Chaunté – are one of Hollywood's most famous broods.) Frazier then asked of the new child, 'Is that the girl you've been waiting for?' 'It is, man. It is,' A$AP Rocky said with a big grin. He then lifted a Smurfette doll, which is the character Rihanna voices in the new film, saying, 'Right here, right here.' 'You know what I'm asking!' Frazier laughed. A$AP Rocky continued laughing. If true, the new baby would be the couple's first daughter. Rihanna and A$AP Rocky are already the parents of two toddler sons, RZA and Riot. Rihanna revealed she was expecting the couple's third child on the Met Gala red carpet, after announcing their second pregnancy during her 2023 halftime Super Bowl performance. The 'Smurfs' movie is set to hit theaters July 18.
