Keke Palmer shares financial mindset and explains why she keeps her rent at just $1,500
Palmer credits her parents for instilling strong financial habits early on. Speaking on the Club Shay Shay podcast last fall, she explained, 'I learned from my parents very early on because they knew their limitations with money and finances. I believe in saving and frugality…I don't play around with that.'
The True Jackson, VP star began her acting career at just nine years old, landing a role in Barbershop 2: Back in Business. By her teens, she had her own TV series and credit card. 'My parents, at their best, made $40,000 a year,' she recalled. 'I was making that a show.'
Palmer's disciplined approach to finances hasn't dulled her eye for fashion. In March 2025, she paid tribute to Christina Aguilera's early-2000s glam at Vanity Fair's Oscars party, donning a sheer crystallized Versace gown from the Italian label's spring 2004 collection. She put her own spin on the vintage look with a sleek ballerina bun, sculpted cheeks, and rhinestone-studded heels.
Palmer's blend of financial discipline and star presence continues to resonate with fans. Her candid insights offer inspiration to those seeking a balance between personal success and responsible living.

Jimmy Kimmel gains Italian citizenship and criticises Donald Trump's second presidential term
Jimmy Kimmel has confirmed he has obtained Italian citizenship, linking the move to concerns over Donald Trump's second term as president of the United States. Speaking on The Sarah Silverman Podcast, host Sarah Silverman mentioned that many people she knew were exploring alternative citizenship options. Kimmel responded, 'I did get Italian citizenship,' before criticising Trump's presidency. 'What's going on [with Trump] is as bad as you thought it was gonna be. It's so much worse. It's just unbelievable. I feel like it's probably even worse than he would like it to be.' Kimmel, who has often expressed opposition to Trump, said he does not criticise individuals who have changed their political stance. Referring to public figures such as Joe Rogan questioning recent policies, he said, 'The door has to stay open. If you want to change your mind, that's so hard to do. If you want to admit you were wrong, that is so hard and so rare to do. You are welcome.' Trump recently took aim at Kimmel on Truth Social after CBS announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert would conclude at the end of the 2025–26 season. Trump claimed Kimmel would be 'next to go' in what he called the 'Late Night Sweepstakes,' describing several hosts as lacking talent. Kimmel responded by saying, 'I'm hearing you're next. Or maybe it's just another wonderful secret,' also referencing a Wall Street Journal report alleging Trump sent a 'bawdy' letter to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003 for his 50th birthday. Kimmel's comments come as public and media debate continues over the direction of Trump's second term and its impact on political and cultural discourse in the United States.

WATCH: Leonardo DiCaprio searched by police at Ibiza party after going unrecognized
Leonardo DiCaprio was momentarily held up by police while attending a party in Ibiza after officers reportedly failed to recognize the Oscar-winning actor. A video obtained by the Daily Mail shows the 50-year-old actor dressed in an all-black outfit, wearing his signature baseball cap and chain, waiting to be searched by local authorities before entering a high-profile tequila party. The incident occurred as DiCaprio attended an event hosted by Patrón and Spanish singer-actor Aron Piper at a private villa. According to Page Six, a source clarified that DiCaprio was not specifically targeted. 'Every single person was patted down and ID'd,' the insider said, noting that the event attracted several well-known figures. The source added, 'It's funny, they did a double take and then he went in!' In the background of the video, a woman can be heard commenting, 'They are searching me full-on right now.' While it's unclear if she was DiCaprio's girlfriend, 27-year-old Italian model Vittoria Ceretti, she was reportedly in Ibiza with him at the time. Other celebrities at the exclusive gathering included Kendall Jenner and Tobey Maguire, DiCaprio's longtime friend. However, rapper Travis Scott was reportedly denied entry, according to the Daily Mail. DiCaprio is a frequent visitor to Ibiza and was recently seen vacationing aboard Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez's yacht with Ceretti. The couple, who have been linked since summer 2023, also attended Bezos and Sánchez's wedding in Venice earlier this year. In a Vogue France interview from March, Ceretti expressed frustration over being primarily recognized as DiCaprio's partner, saying such labels can be 'extremely annoying' and reduce one's identity to their relationship status.

Jennifer Aniston reflects upon Matthew Perry's death: ‘We had been mourning him for a long time'
Nearly two years after Matthew Perry's death, Jennifer Aniston has shared heartfelt reflections on her late Friends co-star, acknowledging that the cast had been grieving him long before his passing due to his prolonged struggle with addiction. In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Aniston, 56, said, 'It almost felt like we'd been mourning Matthew for a long time because his battle with that disease was a really hard one for him to fight.' She added that while the loss was deeply painful, both for his close friends and for fans, a part of her believes 'this is better,' noting, 'I'm glad he's out of that pain.' Perry died on October 28, 2023, at age 54, after being found unresponsive in the pool at his Los Angeles home. The official cause of death was listed as the acute effects of ketamine. Five individuals are now facing charges in connection to the accidental overdose. Aniston emphasized that she and her fellow Friends cast members — Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc, and Lisa Kudrow — had done everything they could to support Perry throughout his battles. 'We did everything we could when we could,' she said. In the immediate aftermath of Perry's death, Aniston posted an emotional tribute on Instagram, recalling fond memories and sharing personal text messages. One message, sent by Perry alongside a photo from the Friends set, read: 'Making you laugh just made my day.' Aniston responded, 'Awww the first of THOUSANDS of times.' She also spoke with Variety in December 2023, saying that Perry seemed genuinely happy and healthy in the weeks leading up to his death. 'He had quit smoking. He was getting in shape. He was happy — that's all I know,' she said. Reflecting on the public's response, Aniston expressed gratitude for the outpouring of love following Perry's passing, saying, 'I hope he can know that he was loved in a way he never thought he was.'
