Has Anna Camp finally found a pitch-perfect partner? She's dating Jade Whipkey
Anna Camp is trying something new on the dating front six years after divorcing 'Pitch Perfect' co-star Skylar Astin: She's in a relationship with Jade Whipkey, a writer and a set designer for Lena Waithe's 'Legacy Talk' podcast.
The two women actually confirmed their relationship in February in a slightly profane TikTok interview with a man who goes by the name Mr. Big, but the video appears to have passed mostly under the radar until now because neither person named herself. 'You' performer Camp did mention that she was an actor, but Mr. Big didn't follow up.
The chat started with a question about their worst dates then segued into Mr. Big asking what the two expect from a guy on a first date.
'Well, I don't expect anything from a guy anymore because I like women, and it's great,' replied Camp, 42. She gestured toward Whipkey, who in turn put her arm around the 'Mindy Project' performer.
'Yeah, same, same. Nothing. Nothing,' Whipkey added. 'I'd rather you, like, not be on the date.'
Also on social media, an X user highlighted an early-May Instagram story from Camp's account that featured Whipkey drinking a glass of white wine with the words 'date night' splashed on the photo.
So there you have it. Representatives for the actor didn't reply immediately Wednesday to The Times' request for comment.
The 'True Blood' actor was previously married to actor Michael Mosley from 2010 to 2013 when she began dating co-star Astin. She was married to Astin from 2016 until 2019 when they split 'amicably.'
Fellow 'Pitch Perfect' castmates Ben Platt and Rebel Wilson have also come out publicly about their sexuality. Platt, who came out to his family when he was a tween, publicly announced he was gay in 2019. Wilson fell in love with a 'Disney princess' instead of a prince in 2022; she and Ramona Agruma got married last September.

Boyfriend drunkenly admitted to girlfriend that he creepily ‘watched her' before they met: ‘This dude literally stalked you'
This story is the definition of creepy. A 'meet-cute' is how two people — who eventually romantically date — first meet. One would assume that meet-cutes are usually spontaneous and romantic, however much to one woman's horror, she discovered in an unexpected way that her boyfriend staged how they initially met. Advertisement She posted about the scary discovery on r/TrueOffMyChest subreddit — which seems to have been removed by Reddit's moderators. Luckily some excerpts of the original posting were shared by the Daily Dot. Sounding like a scene straight from the show, 'You' — on a recent night out together, this woman's boyfriend drunkenly said, 'Could you believe we wouldn't be this happy if I hadn't watched you for so long?' That sentence will sober someone right up. Advertisement Confused as anyone in her shoes would be, she asked him to elaborate — and the confessions just got worse. Supposedly, her boyfriend revealed that when he first laid eyes on her, he didn't immediately introduce himself — which would've been the normal, rational thing to do. Instead, he quielty observed her — he eavesdropped on her conversations with friends, he made mental notes of her likes and her personality quirks. This woman learned that her boyfriend was watching her for a long time before they formally met each other. Getty Images Advertisement He then planned to 'bump' into her at a coffee shop she liked — where he ordered her favorite drink. Beyond creepy. Thinking it was fate that brought them together, one could imagine how betrayed and weirded out this girlfriend felt learning all this. Advertisement 'I mainly am just upset because I feel like our relationship was built on a lie, even if it was a smallish one,' she wrote in the post. 'Hellllllllll no this is the creepiest thing I read in a while,' one commenter wrote. 'Well, if he can lie about this and hide it for so long what else do you think he could be lying about? After hearing that, I would assume there would be more things hes been lying about,' another user pointed out. 'Go with your gut. This dude literally stalked you and manipulated you into going out with him,' wrote someone else. This woman's story got even more bizarre. As Reddit users were chiming in on the thread with their thoughts on the situation — suddenly, the woman edited her original post at the top writing, 'I was wrong. My boyfriend didn't do anything wrong.' But then, at the bottom of the post, users noticed the OP said she wanted to chat more with her boyfriend about this discovery and how she was feeling about it. Users sensed something fishy was going on. Advertisement 'Ummm I need some clarification on the edit at the top.. Is there a comment thread somewhere in here that explains? OP, you okay?' a concerned commenter wrote. 'As soon as I saw the edit on the top, I got super concerned. OP please let us know if you're okay,' another comment read. 'That update definitely doesn't sit well with me either. I hope OP is okay; this is such a creepy and concerning post all around,' a concerned commenter shared. The woman hasn't made many additional edits to her post since — and there hasn't been an update.

Recipes for when strawberry season hits peak deliciousness (as in right now)
In California, strawberry fields really are forever. Strawberries are as red as anything could possibly be and, when you get a good one, more fragrant, succulent and flavorful than anything you imagined nature could create by itself. But to a native Southern Californian, strawberries are a bit like earthquakes. We don't give either much thought. (Or at least I don't.) We take the little fruit — so cute with its heart-like shape, candy-apple red, dimpled exterior and charming green toupee (even the flavor-challenged ones look like the cartoon of a strawberry) — for granted. California grows 90% of the nation's strawberries, from as far north as Watsonville in Santa Cruz County to San Diego County. Thanks to the state's strawberry capital, Oxnard, 60 miles north of Los Angeles, we have strawberries year-round. But peak deliciousness, where juicy, bright-red strawberries taste like sun-ripened candy, is right about now through August. Here in Los Angeles, you can't mention strawberries without hearing about Harry's Berries. These strawberries, grown on an organic farm in Oxnard since the late 1960s, run $15 for 1 1/2 pints at farmers markets and up to $20 or more at specialty grocers. TikTok videos — like a lot of TikTok videos — are made where the berry is eaten in front of the camera by a skeptical-turned-drooling content creator. The varieties they grow include Mara des Bois, smaller and more fragrant than conventional strawberries; Seascape; and Gaviotas, a variety developed by the University of California Davis that has become the gold standard if what you're looking for is a plump, red, juicy, sweet strawberry. 'What have we been eating? What are the other strawberries?' asks one content creator as he bites into a Harry's Berries strawberry. But if the price tag scares you — or just turns you off — rest assured there is a delicious strawberry world beyond Harry's Berries. 'My personal favorite strawberry will almost always be the Albion variety from Tamai Family Farms,' says McKenna Lelah, speaking of another variety developed by UC Davis. McKenna, through her company Handpicked by McKenna, buys from farmers markets and sells and delivers to chefs around Los Angeles. 'They have a nice firm texture, and really good strawberry flavor.' McKenna explains what should be obvious but what I'd never really thought about. 'Table shoppers come to farmers markets and ask, 'What's sweet?'' But if you're doing something with the strawberries, like macerating them for strawberry shortcake or making a syrup, jam or dessert sauce, she says, 'You can always make them sweeter. You can't add more strawberry flavor.' I grew up in San Diego County, and whenever I'm there, I make a stop at Chino Ranch, also famous for its strawberries. Like Harry's Berries, Chino Ranch also grows Mara des Bois and Gaviotas, as well as both red and white Alpine strawberries, which are about the size of a thumbnail and come with the greens and a little stem attached. What all of these berries have in common is that when you bite into one of these little gems, they're red all the way through. They have a delicious floral aroma. And the flavor! You instantly become aware that the rest are strawberry impostors: They might be wearing that perfect little strawberry costume, but they have none of the characteristics of an authentic strawberry-flavored strawberry. But, grown for flavor, not shelf-life, these strawberries are also delicate. They bruise easily. And by the time you put them on your counter, they're already sliding down the back side of their lives. Who among us has not come home with a pint or several of not-cheap, gorgeous candy-apple-colored strawberries only to open the fridge the next day to see them looking withered, wilted, bruised, darkened and generally just sad. The trick to stretching their lifespan, explains McKenna, is to take them out of their basket and put them, not touching one another, on a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and then refrigerate. Or just start your strawberry daydreaming on your way home from the market. Strawberry shortcake is, obvi, the classic, but don't let your imagination stop there. If you're a tennis fan, you've likely seen fans at Wimbledon eating strawberries and cream, a tradition celebrating England's short, sweet strawberry season and a good way to go when you basically want to do nothing and let the flavor of the strawberries do all the work. When your strawberries are verging on overripe, the best solution is to get them in a saucepan as quickly as possible. Cook them down with sugar and lemon juice into a dessert sauce or jam or the jammy layer to this ethereal, chocolaty Strawberry Forest Pie. Or make a batch of Spring Negronis and call it a party. Another option when your strawberries are heading toward the compost bin is to save them for another day. Spread them out, not touching one another, on a baking sheet and put them in the freezer. When they're frozen solid, transfer them to a Ziploc bag or covered container and toss a few into smoothies, milkshakes, Strawberry Jamaica Agua Fresca or a mixed berry pie. For all the appreciation I have for strawberries, they may be one fruit that I don't love in savory preparations, such as salad. And I'm just not sure how to feel about Strawberry-Ancho Salsa or this Strawberry-Avocado Salsa. If you're up for it, I applaud your adventurousness. I'll stick with the sweet stuff!

I say that, and yet all strawberry shortcakes went wrong when I was growing up. I would get so excited to see the little round sponge cakes packed in plastic sold next to the strawberries in the summertime. I'd throw them, along with some flavorless berries and a can of whipped cream, into our grocery cart with so much hope and possibility. But when I got home and put them together, I was never not underwhelmed. I'm sure I'll change my mind with this version that includes macerated farmers market strawberries on just-baked cream biscuits, topped with clouds of freshly whipped the recipe. Cooking time: 40 minutes, plus 2 to 4 hours hands-off time to macerate the berries. Serves 4. Full disclosure: I co-authored barman Christiaan Rollich's book, 'Bar Chef,' from which this recipe originates. Of all the recipes in that book that I tested, this is the one that became part of my repertoire. I make a big batch, put it in a glass, flip top bottle and set it out for guests to serve themselves. It's always a hit. And as we Angelenos know, it's not just for springtime!Get the recipe. Cooking time: 2 hours 30 minutes. Makes 9 cocktails. You don't see strawberries in baked goods as much as you do other fruits. This scone recipe, from Sqirl, is flexible – use strawberries, or whatever fruit you have on hand. It does require a sourdough starter (but also provides a recipe). If you don't want to go that far, ask a baking enthusiastic friend or neighbor, and return the favor with the recipe. Cooking time: 1 hour 30 minutes. Makes 8 scones.

‘Tone deaf' influencer ripped over mistakenly buying $13K shoes: ‘So many people starving'
A Sydney woman has caused a divide by sharing how she accidentally spent $13,000 on shoes during a cost-of-living crisis. Elle Salagaras, 29, lives in Sydney and runs the popular TikTok account Eastern Suburbs Mum, which has racked up over 2 million likes. While many influencers, particularly mums, build their audience on being relatable, Ms Salagaras instead shares her affluent life with followers. Instead of going with the warts and all social media overshare approach, the 29-year-old is likelier to share content about her Birkin bag. Naturally, she took to social media to share the moment she spent far more than she bargained for at the luxury store Hermes. 3 A Sydney woman has caused a divide by sharing how she accidentally spent $13,000 on shoes during a cost-of-living crisis. TikTok/@elle_easternsuburbsmum Salagaras explained that she decided to purchase a pair of the brand's iconic Chypre Sandals. The starting price for this design is just over $1700, but the cost goes up depending on the material used. The young mum picked up a particularly expensive pair, worth $13,155, made from crocodile and sheep skin. 3 Salagaras explained that she decided to purchase a pair of Hermes' iconic Chypre Sandals. Instagram/@elle_easternsuburbsmum The slides look casual and cosy, not unlike Birkenstocks, but the pair Salagaras purchased cost more than what some people spend on their cars. Salagaras then made a TikTok showing off her new shoes and calling them 'gorg,' but she admitted that she didn't expect to spend that much. After waving the shoes around in front of the camera, she explained that she'd never intended to outlay so much. 3 'We are committing to the shoe. I should have known Hermes,' she said. TikTok/@elle_easternsuburbsmum 'I definitely got very confused about the price, which is my fault. I had heard one number … so embarrassing,' she said. Salagaras said she already had them on her feet when she went to the checkout because she planned to wear them out of the store. When she heard the price, she was thrown, but she just said, 'It's fine,' and bought them anyway. 'We are committing to the shoe. I should have known Hermes,' she said. Salagaras didn't mention how much they cost, but people looked them up and quickly expressed their shock. 'The price. I'm dead,' one wrote. 'The price! Oh my god,' another said. It wasn't just people freaking out over the price, people were also sharing how much they loved the shoes. One praised them as 'so pretty,' and another called them 'stunning,' but others just couldn't get over how much she spent on the sandals. Someone called it 'ridiculous' to spend that much, another called her sharing her expensive shoes 'embarrassing,' and others just claimed the shoes were 'ugly' and certainly not worth the price tag. 'What utter nonsense,' one complained. 'No footwear is worth that amount of money,' someone else argued. 'So many people starving in Australia and she goes and buys these (because) she makes heaps of money from her 52,000 followers. Disgusting,' another complained. Someone else said it was 'tone-deaf' for her to post about spending that much on shoes, and another claimed she was 'showing off,' which they found offensive. Meanwhile, Salagaras wasn't letting the negative feedback get her down. She posted a TikTok of herself dancing with her $13,000 sandals to the tune of Britney Spears.
