When Benny Blanco Misses Selena Gomez, He Wears Her Perfume

Benny Blanco is clearly head over heels for Selena Gomez, and he’s not afraid to smell like it. In a recent TikTok, the producer casually admitted that when Selena isn’t around, he spritzes her Rare Beauty perfume all over himself to feel closer to her.

Yep, that’s right—he wears her signature scent just to keep her “essence” nearby.

The confession was part of a promo for Rare Beauty’s new fragrance line, and while Selena didn’t seem weirded out, she did call him “so cheesy.” Which, to be fair, is kind of true. But is it cute-cheesy, or “this might be a red flag” cheesy?

Fans are split. Some think it’s a romantic gesture—like playing your partner’s favorite song on repeat when you miss them. Others say it’s a little too intense, bordering on a cologne-scented cry for help.

Still, it fits with the hyper-honest and quirky brand Blanco and Gomez have built as a couple. They’ve shared plenty of open, even cringey-in-a-good-way moments online since confirming their relationship. From silly videos to deeply personal tributes, their vibe seems to be “too real,” in a way that fans (and TikTok) love.

And while Benny might be catching side-eyes for borrowing her scent, it’s worth pointing out: celebrities have done stranger things in the name of love. (Remember Angelina and Billy Bob’s vial necklaces?)

In the end, it’s just perfume. And love is weird. So if dousing himself in Rare Beauty makes Benny feel close to his girlfriend, more power to him. Just maybe… take it easy on the spritzes.

USDA Uses “Marriage Story” Argument and AC/DC to Scare Off Wolves

Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson have an interesting side hustle—fighting off wolves. Sort of.

In one of the strangest but most effective forms of wildlife management you’ll hear about today, the U.S. Department of Agriculture is using drones, loud music, and… Hollywood drama to protect cattle from wolf attacks.

Specifically, they’re blasting the infamous fight scene from the 2019 film Marriage Story to send a very loud message to predators: humans are loud, chaotic, and best avoided.

It’s all part of a method called “wolf hazing,” which involves scaring wolves away from livestock using drones equipped with thermal cameras and mounted speakers.

When the drones detect a wolf, they blare unsettling sounds—fireworks, gunshots, and yes, that intense Adam-vs-Scarlett yelling match. If that doesn’t work, the wolves also get a dose of AC/DC’s Thunderstruck at full volume.

And while this might sound like the weirdest Spotify playlist ever, it’s actually working. In one Oregon hotspot where 11 cows were killed in just 20 days, hazing efforts cut the number of wolf kills to only two over the next 85 days.

A USDA official summed it up best: “I need the wolves to respond and know that, hey, humans are bad.”

Hollywood drama, classic rock, and thermal drones: it’s not exactly what you’d expect from the USDA, but it’s oddly effective.

William Shatner Wants to Cheat Death (Literally)

Celebrities seem to be checking out at an alarming rate lately. So you’d be forgiven for assuming that 94-year-old William Shatner might be eyeing the exit ramp with a bit of anxiety. According to RadarOnline (so, you know, grain of salt), he’s more than just concerned. He’s terrified.

The report claims Shatner is obsessed with outsmarting the inevitable and is exploring all the sci-fi-sounding options.

A so-called insider put it bluntly: “William is now looking into everything from being frozen to having his head pickled in a jar in the unlikely event he can be resurrected. He has become obsessed with ways to live forever.” Which, let’s be honest, sounds exactly like something a 90-something-year-old sci-fi icon might say with full conviction.

Now, actual immortality might still be off the table (at least for now), but digital immortality? That’s a different story.

Shatner reportedly signed with a company that will create an A.I.-powered hologram of him, designed to preserve his stories, personality, and quirks so his family can “talk” to him long after he’s gone.

He reportedly told the company, “I’ve had quite a crazy life, so I’d have a lot of stories that I don’t want people to forget.”

Say what you want about Shatner, but he’s nothing if not self-aware. The man’s been in the public eye for seven decades, playing roles from space captain to Priceline pitchman, and clearly, he’s not planning to fade quietly into the night. If he has his way, he’ll still be telling stories 100 years from now—even if it’s from inside a holographic projector.

And honestly? That feels like a very Shatner way to go. Or… not go.

Ozzy Osbourne Honored by Family and Fans in Moving Hometown Procession

Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness himself, was given a hometown sendoff fit for a rock legend as fans flooded the streets of Birmingham, England on Wednesday. His funeral procession drew thousands of mourners and music lovers alike, all paying tribute to the heavy metal icon who helped define a genre and an era.

The hearse carrying Ozzy’s coffin slowly made its way to the Black Sabbath Bench, a memorial dedicated to the band that launched his career. Inside the hearse were purple floral arrangements spelling out “Ozzy,” with a matching flower cross mounted on the roof.

Sharon Osbourne, visibly emotional, arrived with children Jack and Kelly by her side. Cameras captured the moment she stepped out, overcome with grief, needing support as she walked toward the memorial. Her other daughter Aimee and stepson Louis also joined the family, though two of Ozzy’s other children—Jessica Osbourne and Elliot Kingsley—were not seen at the procession.

In a heartfelt nod to the rocker’s legacy, each family member wore a symbolic accessory: Sharon wore Ozzy’s wedding ring on a chain around her neck; Kelly channeled her dad’s iconic look with round tinted sunglasses; Jack wore a silver cross pin; Aimee had a bat-shaped brooch; and Louis sported a purple tie adorned with skull-and-crossbones.

After spending time at the memorial, Sharon turned to face the crowd and offered a signature Ozzy-style peace sign, a gesture that drew cheers and tears from fans.

The Black Sabbath Bench—located in Birmingham’s Broad Street Walk of Stars—has long served as a pilgrimage spot for fans of the band that pioneered heavy metal in the 1970s.

Photos of the family’s private yet public goodbye have spread rapidly online, with fans praising their understated tribute to a man who never did anything quietly.

As Ozzy Osbourne’s music continues to live on in playlists, documentaries, and headbanging memories, the funeral procession served as a powerful reminder: Birmingham never forgot its wildest son—and never will.

(You can watch footage of the event here. Sharon steps out of her car around the 1:20 mark.)

Winona Ryder Embraces Aging, Questions Cosmetic Surgery Fads

Winona Ryder is staying natural—and a little bewildered—when it comes to the cosmetic procedures younger women around her are embracing.

Now 53, she recently opened up about aging in “Elle“ magazine. She said she’s noticing some changes in the mirror, especially on her forehead, but she’s totally fine with it.

What she’s not fine with? The growing trend of young women getting “weird s*** done” to their faces.

She didn’t point fingers or name names, but “Elle” clarified she was referring specifically to buccal fat removal, a cosmetic procedure where fat is sucked out of your lower cheeks to give that sharp, chiseled look that’s trending all over social media. Winona’s reaction? Total disbelief.

“I thought they were kidding,” she said. “I want to say, ‘In ten years, you’re gonna want that back!'” Ryder didn’t call out anyone in particular, but the internet did a little guesswork anyway.

Some fans have speculated she could be referring to young co-stars from projects like “Stranger Things”—Millie Bobby Brown or Natalia Dyer come to mind—or maybe Jenna Ortega, who plays her daughter in “Beetlejuice Beetlejuice”.

All three have sparked cosmetic surgery speculation online (fairly or not), but to be clear: Winona didn’t say a word about any of them.

Her comments land at a time when cosmetic tweaks—especially facial contouring surgeries like buccal fat removal—are gaining popularity among Gen Z. And while everyone’s free to do what they want with their own face, Ryder’s stance is a refreshing reminder that aging naturally still has a place in Hollywood.

Winona has always been a bit of an outlier in the industry, keeping a low profile and focusing more on craft than on glam. And while some people chase youth with needles and scalpels, she’s choosing a different route—one with a few lines, a little forehead texture, and a whole lot of cool.

Kim Kardashian Created Shapewear for Your Face

Skims is coming for your face next.

Kim Kardashian’s shapewear empire has already tackled everything from built-in booty padding to bras with, uh, built-in headlights. But her latest launch might be the most out-there yet: shapewear for your face.

Yes, you read that right. Skims just dropped the “Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap,” a $48 compression mask designed to hug your jawline like a clingy ex. It promises strong compression and ultra-soft jaw support using collagen-infused fabric, and comes in two colors: clay and cocoa.

Think of it as a post-surgery-style head wrap, but make it fashion.

The wrap fastens with Velcro at the crown and the back of your neck, with holes for your ears—so you can still hear the collective “wait, what?” from the rest of the internet.

According to Skims, the face wrap is meant to be part of your nightly routine. Their official description calls it a “must-have” for sculpting and lifting, although there’s no actual science cited to back up any facelift-like results. It’s definitely more about vibes than verified dermatological benefits.

Still, it’s on brand for Kim, who’s long been a master of turning viral curiosities into sellouts. Love her or roll your eyes, she knows how to get people talking—and apparently, how to get them wrapping their heads in compression fabric before bed.

Whether this is the next big thing in skincare or just something to terrify your roommate with, one thing’s for sure: Kim’s not done innovating in the “slightly unhinged clothing” space.

Would you wear facial shapewear to bed? Or is this just a Kardashian-level prank on our wallets?

(For those curious or tempted: You can join the waitlist now on the Skims website. Prepare to look like you’re either recovering from a facelift or starring in a sci-fi reboot.)

Ozzy Osbourne’s Biographer Shuts Down Sharon Haters

Ozzy Osbourne’s wild life often seemed like a miracle of heavy metal endurance—and according to his biographer, it’s not just a miracle. It’s Sharon.

Daniel Bukszpan, author of “Ozzy at 75: The Unofficial Illustrated History”, is coming to Sharon Osbourne’s defense, calling her the reason the Prince of Darkness lived to see 76. In a recent interview, Bukszpan slammed the perception that Sharon is just a manipulative manager or the overbearing wife pulling the strings.

“She met him after he had been fired from Black Sabbath,” he explained.

“He was borderline homeless. And due to her ability to corral him and direct him and that sort of thing, she made him one of the biggest stars in the world. I believe she kept him alive the whole time.”

While some fans have labeled her as a “puppet master” or “evil shrew,” Bukszpan says that narrative is unfair and oversimplified. Sure, she can be intense—“It’s no secret that Sharon has been known to be unpleasant at times,” he admitted—but her commitment to Ozzy runs far deeper than business.

“She kept him going and put up with a lot of stuff you wouldn’t put up with for a minute in your own marriage,” Bukszpan added. “But she took [her] vows seriously and stood by him. If it was just about business, she would’ve stopped a long time ago.”

Sharon and Ozzy’s relationship has long been a lightning rod for debate among fans. From their fiery dynamic on “The Osbournes” to public battles with addiction, infidelity, and health scares, the couple’s ups and downs have often played out in the spotlight.

But he argues that Sharon’s influence is what helped transform Ozzy’s post-Sabbath freefall into a wildly successful solo career—and quite possibly kept him out of an early grave.

“She gets a lot of hate online,” he said. “But I just think the way she’s being characterized is wrong.”

Given Ozzy’s legendary drug use, bat-biting stage antics, and sheer number of near-death experiences, surviving to 76 was no small feat. And if you ask the guy who literally wrote the book on him, it’s Sharon who deserves a standing ovation.

Jamie Lee Curtis Compares Plastic Surgery Craze to “Genocide”

Jamie Lee Curtis is not pulling any punches when it comes to plastic surgery and her latest comments are sparking serious conversations.

In a bold interview with “The Guardian“, she compared the rise of cosmetic procedures to a kind of societal “genocide.” Her words? “There’s a disfigurement of generations of predominantly women who are altering their appearances.”

Let’s just say, she’s not here to sugarcoat it.

Curtis has long been outspoken about her issues with the beauty industry, but this time she took it a step further, referring to the phenomenon as, quote, “the genocide of a generation of women by the cosmeceutical industrial complex.” According to her, this growing obsession with altering appearances through fillers, surgeries, and filters is erasing natural beauty—and with it, an entire generation’s authentic identity.

“I’ve used that word for a long time,” she explained. “And I use it specifically because it’s a strong word.”

She also called out the pressure to look flawless in a filtered world, saying, “Better is fake.” And while Curtis is clearly passionate about the issue, she also emphasized that she’s not out to shame individuals. “I would never say a word,” she said of people who’ve had work done. “It’s not my job to give my opinion, it’s none of my business.”

Still, she describes cosmetic procedures as a slippery slope. “Once you start, you can’t stop,” she added, calling it a “never-ending cycle.”

Although she didn’t name names, Curtis did say the recent media landscape is full of examples of people . . . especially women . . . altering their looks in extreme and highly visible ways.

To punctuate her stance, she also took part in a photoshoot for “The Guardian” featuring her wearing oversized, waxy red lips—a cheeky (and slightly creepy) nod to how artificial beauty standards have become.

Is Adam Sandler Still Funny? The Internet Has Spoken

With “Happy Gilmore 2” dropping on Netflix tomorrow, Adam Sandler is back in the spotlight— but does he still got jokes? According to a new YouGov poll of over 2,200 Americans, 71% of the country thinks the Sandman is at least somewhat funny.

Specifically, 44% of people say he’s “somewhat funny,” while another 27% gave him full comedy credit with a “very funny” rating. Only 13% think he’s not very funny, and 9% said he’s not funny at all. That leaves 8% who are still on the fence—or maybe just haven’t seen “Billy Madison”.

This mini national referendum comes just ahead of Sandler’s return to one of his most iconic roles in “Happy Gilmore 2”, the long-awaited sequel to his 1996 golf comedy.

While Sandler has had some career ups and downs (and a few Razzie nominations to his name), his diehard fanbase clearly still finds him funny enough to click “play.”

The numbers show that his brand of goofy, lovable weirdness still resonates—at least more than it doesn’t. And when you stack up decades of hits (“The Wedding Singer”, “The Waterboy”, “Big Daddy”, and yes, even “Uncut Gems”) alongside his infamous flops, it kind of makes sense that “somewhat funny” took the top spot. He’s got a little something for everyone.

Kermit the Frog Pays Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne’s passing has inspired a wave of heartfelt tributes—but one of the most surprising came from a very green, very iconic friend: Kermit the Frog.

In a post on the official Muppets Facebook page, Kermit honored the Prince of Darkness with a sweet (and unexpectedly emotional) message:

“No one rocked harder than the great Ozzy Osbourne… Every time we bumped into Ozzy over the years, he made us feel just as cool as he was.”

Kermit went on to say that the Muppets felt lucky to have known and worked with Ozzy, calling him a friend and a musical legend. He even gave a nod to Ozzy’s duet with Miss Piggy on Born to Be Wild, from the hilariously underrated Kermit Unpigged album. Yes, that’s a real thing.

The Tributes Didn’t Stop with Felt and Googly Eyes

Lady Gaga wrapped up her Mayhem Ball show in San Francisco with her entire crew taking a final bow to the sound of Crazy Train.

Chris Martin of Coldplay worked Changes by Black Sabbath into his Nashville set . . .

And Wolfgang Van Halen’s band Mammoth honored Ozzy with a live performance of Mama, I’m Coming Home during a gig in Hartford.

Even Major League Baseball got in on the tribute train, digging up Ozzy’s wonderfully chaotic 2003 rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame, sung with Sharon at Wrigley Field. It wasn’t pitch-perfect—but it was peak Ozzy.

And over in Foxborough, the New England Patriots gave a public thanks to Ozzy for letting them use Crazy Train as their entrance theme. He even played it live for them in 2005.

From stadiums to stage lights—and even puppet theaters—Ozzy’s influence stretched far and wide. And in the wake of his loss, it’s clear just how many lives (and genres) he touched. Whether you were headbanging in a leather jacket or dancing in a frog costume, Ozzy Osbourne made you feel a little cooler just by being in the room.
