Lady Gaga Declares That She Is a ‘Labubu' in Silly Pre-Mayhem Ball Show Video
In a whimsical TikTok posted Friday (July 25), the pop superstar filmed herself seemingly getting ready backstage for a concert, all dressed up in one of her Mayhem Ball tour outfits. With her hair teased into the shape of two bunny ears — similar to those sported by the fuzzy little monster keychains you keep seeing attached to everyone's bags and purses — Gaga says in a silly, high-pitched voice, 'I'm a Labubu!'

'Labubu!' she repeats before sticking her tongue out slightly at the camera.
For those not yet in on the trend, Labubus are collectible dolls sold by Chinese brand Pop Mart. With sharp teeth and goblin-like faces peeking out of their variously colored fur suits, the toys are basically just portable little monsters — an especially fitting product for Gaga, considering the name of her fanbase.
Mother Monster's funny video comes shortly after she finished the second of three Mayhem shows at San Francisco's Chase Center, at which she'll play one more concert on July 26. The Grammy winner's trek kicked off earlier in July with three performances in Las Vegas, and Gaga will continue touring through North America, Europe and Australia throughout the rest of 2025.
The trek comes in support of Gaga's Mayhem album, which dropped this past May. Debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the project found the A Star Is Born actress returning to her dark dance-pop roots.
'Part of my personal mayhem is that it's fun, and that's why I keep doing it,' she told Billboard of the LP in a March interview. 'That's what makes it complicated — it is dark, and it pulls me away from myself, but it's also the best time. It's that point where you're at the party, and you're totally numbing out, and you've fully accepted that by the morning you are not going to feel well, but you're fully in it.'

Cops called as Denise Richards shows up at ex's home amid restraining order
The cops were called on Denise Richards Sunday when the reality star allegedly showed up at the home of her estranged husband, Aaron Phypers, despite a restraining order the reality star has taken out amid their divorce battle. A divorce lawyer for the 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' alum, 54, told TMZ that Richards only arrived at the Calabasas home Sunday 'after confirming that Mr. Phypers was not present,' and did so 'to retrieve her dogs after learning that Mr. Phypers had put down one of her other dogs without her knowledge or permission.' Phypers, who denies Richards' recent claims of longstanding physical abuse, told the outlet that everything the 'Wild Things' star claimed was 'absolutely false. 'Denise's actions are willfully intentional in the slander and destruction of what is left of a family,' continued the 52-year-old 'frequency medicine' practitioner. 'This is after Denise chose to carry on an adulterous affair — after being caught not once, not twice, but three times.' Photos published by the outlet show the OnlyFans star speaking to a trio of deputies outside the home, which is owned by Phypers, his parents and brother. One image shows Phypers speaking to one of the officers, while another shows him hugging his elderly mother. Phypers, who wed Richards in 2018, filed for divorce July 7, three days after he said they separated. Richards has claimed he 'would frequently violently choke' her and subject her to other forms of physical abuse, including leaving her with a black eye in 2022. She was granted a restraining order against Phypers, which lasts until their scheduled court appearance on Aug. 8, and orders him to stay 100 yards from Richards, her home, car and place of business. Richards last week accused Phypers of disseminating her texts and illegally leaking her nude photos. 'Mr. Phypers has continued to harass Ms. Richards since being served with the Temporary Restraining Order by, among other things, disseminating private information from Ms. Richards' cell phone and laptop, which he stole,' her lawyer alleged in a statement to multiple outlets in late July. 'These actions continue to disturb Ms. Richards' peace. … Ms. Richards will not be responding to Mr. Phypers' false allegations in a public forum and will be addressing Mr. Phypers' abuse in Court.'

‘Real Housewives' Star Wonders If Stage 4 Cancer Was 'Payback' For Her Rumored Affair
Teddi Mellencamp opened up for the first time about a rumored affair with her horse trainer ― and how it affected her family and her health. The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' cast mate spoke about her alleged infidelity during an appearance on 'The Jamie Kern Lima Show.' 'I've never talked about it at all ― just because of the kids,' Mellencamp said during the interview, which was released Tuesday. Mellencamp, who was married at the time, shares three children with her now-ex-husband, Edwin Arroyave. 'And I've never wanted anybody to have a, you know, a guarantee whether it happened or didn't happen,' the reality star said. 'But what I can say is: Did I do things that hurt other people? Yes.' 'To this day, does it still hurt my heart and I wonder if that's why I got cancer?' Mellencamp said, as she began to cry. 'Yes. Like it was my payback.' Mellencamp, who is the daughter of famous singer John Cougar Mellencamp, was diagnosed with melanoma in 2022. She recently shared that her cancer had progressed to Stage 4, as her melanoma metastasized to her lungs and brain. 'Nothing goes without payment, I guess,' she said, adding that she was 'so broken as a human being during that part of my life that I did things out of my better judgment.' During the vulnerable interview, Mellencamp also spoke about her ex-husband's infidelity, which came to light just before she and her family starred on 'The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.' The podcaster said her husband was unfaithful with someone that she knew and that she had to 'beg Edwin to wanna stay with me.' 'I don't think he was in love with me at that point. I think we've gone through times in our marriage where we've been madly in love with each other, but that wasn't one of those times,' she said. 'And there was a while that I thought maybe I'll leave, and then it got better.' Mellencamp filed for divorce from Arroyave in November 2024 and announced the news on Instagram. 'After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,' she said at the time. 'My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.' The former couple share three children together: Slate, 12; Cruz, 10; and Dove, 5. Related...

Spider-Punk Is Getting His Own Animated Movie
Spider-Man Day 2025 has come and gone, bringing some nuggets about Tom Holland's live-action return in Spider-Man: Brand New Day next year. But today brings news of a Spider-Man movie we're actually even more excited about: a standalone animated movie centered around Spider-Punk, co-written by Daniel Kaluuya, who voiced the character in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse and the upcoming Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse. Deadline broke the news of the Oscar-winning actor's new project (lately, all his headlines have been regarding that bizarre yet intriguing Barney movie he's got in the works), which is said to be 'in early development.' Kaluuya would co-write with Ajon Singh; 'plot details are under wraps, and there are no other deals in place at this time.' It's also not confirmed that Kaluuya would voice the character, but you have to assume that's in the cards. Spider-Punk has been around since 2015's The Amazing Spider-Man #10, when he was created by writer Dan Slott and artist Olivier Coipel for a Spider-Verse comics crossover. As the trade reminds us, Hobie Brown is 'a version of Spider-Man who leans into a more anarchistic, anti-establishment attitude than Peter Parker's version. Residing on Earth-138, the character is fueled by his desire to help take down corrupt systems.' A Spider-Punk movie sounds like just the Spider-Movie we need right now, in other words.
