Pete Davidson Has Spent $200K—and Counting—on Tattoo Removals

Pete Davidson is finding out the hard way that “no ragrets” was a lie. The comedian and actor revealed he’s about 30% of the way through removing his extensive collection of tattoos—and the process has already cost him a jaw-dropping $200,000.

In a recent interview, Davidson acknowledged the staggering price tag, saying, “It’s a pretty uncomfortable amount of money to disclose, but I think one of the tabloids already leaked it.” That leak was accurate. And he’s not even halfway done.

Davidson estimates it’ll take another 10 years to finish the full removal process. That’s because each tattoo takes 10 to 12 sessions, with about six weeks of healing time between each.

“That’s 60 weeks of your life right there on just one tattoo to remove,” he explained. And the process isn’t exactly pleasant—he compares it to “putting your arm on a grill and burning off a layer.”

So far, his arms, hands, and neck are mostly clear. But his torso and back? Still works in progress.

Davidson’s tattoos have been a prominent part of his image for years, but he’s spoken in the past about wanting a cleaner look—especially for acting roles, which often require extensive makeup coverage to hide body art.

His decision to undergo removal is part of a longer-term pivot toward more serious acting opportunities.

And while the average person may not have $200K to drop on laser sessions, Davidson’s commitment offers a glimpse into just how intense (and expensive) it can be to undo years of impulsive ink.

For those thinking of following his lead? Consider it a warning: tattoos are forever… or at least $200,000 and 10 years of laser sessions long.

Ben Affleck Thinks His Kids Should Get Minimum Wage Jobs

Ben Affleck might be one of Hollywood’s highest-paid stars, but don’t expect his kids to be spoiled. In a recent interview, Affleck shared that he believes in old-school parenting when it comes to money—starting with minimum wage jobs.

Affleck, who’s worth an estimated $150 million and shares three children with ex-wife Jennifer Garner—Violet (19), Fin (16), and Samuel (13)—says it’s important for his kids to learn the value of a dollar the hard way. That includes saying no, even when the family bank account could technically say yes.

A recent viral video captured one such parenting moment, where Affleck shut down 13-year-old Samuel’s request for a $6,000 pair of sneakers. His response? Brutal in the best way.

“He was like, ‘We have the money.’ I was like, ‘I have the money. You’re broke,’” Affleck recalled with a laugh.

He then laid down a little real-world math: “If you want that, you can work 1,000 hours at minimum wage, and after all that, you might not want to spend it on a pair of shoes.”

Affleck said both of his older kids already have jobs, and his eldest is actively pursuing a summer internship. While he’s proud of their hustle, he’s clear that this is less about building a résumé and more about building character. “You love your kids, but you do them a disservice if you don’t teach them they have to work for what they want,” he said.

It’s a refreshing message coming from someone whose kids could easily coast on Hollywood privilege. Instead, Affleck is making a case for humility, hard work, and a bit of minimum wage reality—even if Dad’s red carpet is just a phone call away.

Demi Moore Named ‘World’s Most Beautiful Person’ by People at 62

From quiet seaside towns to vibrant city centers, discover Europe’s hidden gems that tourists haven’t overrun — yet.

Move over, Sexiest Man Alive—People magazine has named its 2025 World’s Most Beautiful Person, and the honor goes to none other than Demi Moore, proving beauty really can evolve with age.

At 62, Moore isn’t just being celebrated for her timeless looks—she’s also opening up about the journey behind them. In her People cover interview, the actress reflects on how her relationship with her body has transformed over the years, from one of punishment to one of peace.

“I was so harsh and had a much more antagonistic relationship with my body,” Moore admits. “And straight up, I was really just punishing myself.”

That mindset, she says, is behind her.

Now, she describes her approach as more “intuitive” and “relaxed.” “I trust when [my body] tells me it needs something to eat, that it’s thirsty. I listen to my body today, and I have a lot less fear.” In her younger years, Moore says she often felt like her body was working against her.

“I felt like my body was betraying me. And so I just tried to control it,” she says.

“Now I don’t operate from that place. It’s a much more aligned relationship.”

The iconic actress, known for roles in Ghost, G.I. Jane, and Indecent Proposal, is also refreshingly honest about her imperfections. “I’m not perfect,” she says. “I still do drink Red Bull. I do love it. But not many. One.”

Moore’s new title is more than a nod to her physical appearance—it’s recognition of a woman who’s redefined what beauty looks like at every stage of life. And in 2025, that means confidence, authenticity, and, apparently, the occasional energy drink.
