Megan Thee Stallion gushes over Klay Thompson as couple make red carpet debut
The 30-year-old rapper made her red carpet debut with the basketball star at her inaugural Pete + Thomas Foundation Gala in New York City on Wednesday (16.07.25) and admitted their first meeting was "like a movie".
She gushed to People magazine: "Oh, we met and it was such a meet cute it was like a f****** movie.
"I won't tell you how and I won't tell you when, but it was a movie that he's the nicest person I've ever met in my life."
The Hot Girl Summer singer has never been so happy in a relationship before.
She told the New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: 'I have never dated somebody so kind.
'This is my first relationship where I've ever been with somebody who's genuinely a nice person, and he makes me genuinely happy.
'I just never dated somebody like him before and I'm just grateful that he's here by my side and he feels the same way about me.'
The gala was held to "provide resources to effect meaningful and positive change in the lives of women and children, senior citizens, and underserved communities" and Meghan's foundation is named after her late parents, Joseph Pete III and Holly Thomas, with the WAP hitmaker believing she has made her ancestors "super proud".
She told People: "I feel like they can see what I'm doing right now.
"I feel like they're looking down on me from heaven, and I feel like they're like, 'Yes, daughter!' I feel like my momma's so happy.
"I feel like she is clapping. I feel like my great-grandma is so happy. I feel like my daddy is like, 'this is exactly what I knew my child was gonna do.' I feel like they're super proud,"
Fans speculated that Megan was dating Klay, 35, earlier this month when she featured the Dallas Mavericks player on her Instagram.
The Captain Hook rapper shared a photo on 9 July in which she sat on the ledge of a hot tub, with the sportsman soaking up the sun in the far left corner. She simply captioned the post with palm tree and plane emojis.
One fan commented: "Do we not realize klay Thompson in the back (sic)"
Another added: Look out klay.(sic)"
And a third person posted: "My guy Klay Thompson still shooting and not missing.(sic)"

‘Smitten': Pamela Anderson in plot twist co-star romance
It turns out, even Liam Neeson can't resist a plot twist. The Taken star, 73, declared he was finished with dating in a candid People cover story last October — but fast-forward nine months, and he's reportedly in the 'early stages' of a romance with co-star Pamela Anderson. According to a source from the set of The Naked Gun, the two are 'enjoying each other's company,' and 'it's sincere — they're clearly smitten.' Their flirtation has been playing out in public, too. On July 29, the pair shared a playful PDA moment during a Today show appearance, feigning surprise after being 'caught' mid-make-out by the cameras. A week earlier, Anderson kissed Neeson's cheek at the film's London premiere.

(Photo by) Credit: John Phillips / Getty Images The unexpected couple met filming the upcoming reboot of The Naked Gun (in cinemas August 1), where their chemistry reportedly extended beyond the script. But Anderson insists things stayed 'professionally romantic' during production. 'We had many dinners out with the cast,' she told Entertainment Weekly. 'I invited him and his assistant over for romantic dinners with me and my assistant — so our relationship stayed 'professionally romantic' during filming.' Despite the slow burn, Neeson hasn't held back in his praise for the Baywatch star, telling People in 2024: 'I'm madly in love with her. She's just terrific to work with… funny, no ego, and so easy to be around.' Anderson returned the affection, calling Neeson 'the perfect gentleman' who 'brings out the best in you with respect, kindness, and depth of experience.' Neeson, who was married to actress Natasha Richardson until her tragic death in 2009, has previously dated Barbra Streisand, Brooke Shields, and Helen Mirren. Anderson's high-profile exes include Tommy Lee, with whom she shares two sons — Brandon, 29, and Dylan, 27. The pair appeared together at The Naked Gun's New York premiere on July 28, smiling on the red carpet alongside their respective adult children — a fitting sign, perhaps, of something a little more serious.

Gwyneth Paltrow's savage nickname for ex-friend Winona Ryder revealed in new book
Gwyneth Paltrow's alleged nasty nickname for Winona Ryder was revealed in Amy Odell's bombshell new biography about the Goop founder, titled 'Gwyneth.' Paltrow allegedly started calling her ex-pal 'Vagina Ryder' after suspecting Ryder was making up stories for attention in the 1990s, per the Daily Mail. Odell claimed the duo's fallout happened shortly after Paltrow split from Brad Pitt – whom she dated from 1994 to 1997 – and moved into Ryder's New York City apartment. At the time, Ryder, now 53, was dating Matt Damon while Paltrow, now 52, began a romance with Damon's best friend, Ben Affleck. According to Odell, Ryder and Damon once got into a fight and she rushed to tell him she had been robbed. Odell claimed this happened twice, and Damon was empathetic to his then-girlfriend. Meanwhile, Paltrow allegedly believed that the Stranger Things star was making up the robberies for the sake of attention. 'Damon consoled her, but Gwyneth and Affleck believed Ryder fabricated the robberies as a ploy for attention (there's no proof of this),' Odell writes in the book, per the Daily Mail. 'Gwyneth was annoyed that Damon couldn't see it. Though Damon was kind to her friends, Gwyneth didn't seem to like him after that.' 'Her friendship with Ryder would only deteriorate further, and Gwyneth gave her the nickname 'Vagina Ryder,'' Odell claims. Reps for Paltrow and Ryder weren't immediately available to Page Six for comment. Elsewhere in the book, Odell claims, per People, that Paltrow swiped the lead of 1998's Shakespeare in Love from Ryder after originally turning it down. 'After a story about Gwyneth allegedly stealing the script from Winona's coffee table reached the media, Gwyneth told friends that Ryder had started the rumour, and insisted she'd received the script through her agent,' the author alleges. While Ryder or Paltrow never addressed their alleged feud, the latter previously spoke of a 'frenemy' who wanted to see her demise in a 2009 Goop blog post. 'Back in the day, I had a 'frenemy' who, as it turned out, was pretty hellbent on taking me down,' Paltrow wrote at the time. 'This person really did what they could to hurt me.' 'I was deeply upset, I was angry, I was all of those things you feel when you find out that someone you thought you liked was venomous and dangerous,' the Iron Man star continued. 'I restrained myself from fighting back. … But one day I heard that something unfortunate and humiliating had happened to this person. And my reaction was deep relief and happiness.'

Ozzy Osbourne funeral: Public procession planned through Birmingham
The Prince of Darkness will be laid to rest in an intimate gathering. A week after the death of Ozzy Osbourne at age 76, his family is arranging a way to honour the late rocker. 'They're planning a small, private funeral that will be a celebration of his life,' a source told People 'Ozzy would never want a mope-fest.' Fans will be given a chance to pay their respects to Osbourne, as his funeral cortege travels through his beloved home city of Birmingham. Osbourne's body will be brought back to the city for a procession that will travel along Broad Street from 1pm on Wednesday, local time (10pm AEST). The procession, which takes place ahead of the private funeral, will pause at the Black Sabbath bench and bridge. Osbourne's loved ones, including his wife Sharon, 72, and their kids Aimee, 41, Jack, 39, and Kelly, 40, are all 'touched by all the love and support pouring in from around the world.' The former Black Sabbath frontman has previously made his funeral wishes clear. In a Dear Ozzy column for The Times of London in 2011, Osbourne was asked about his future memorial. 'I honestly don't care what they play at my funeral; they can put on a medley of Justin Bieber, Susan Boyle and We Are the Diddymen if it makes 'em happy,' he revealed to the outlet. 'But I do want to make sure it's a celebration, not a mope-fest.' Osbourne added, 'I'd also like some pranks: maybe the sound of knocking inside the coffin; or a video of me asking my doctor for a second opinion on his diagnosis of 'death.' There'll be no harping on the bad times.' 'So to answer your question, yes,' he continued, 'a bit of planning is the right thing to do for the family you leave behind.' For the heavy metal icon, Osbourne felt it was 'worth remembering that a lot of people see nothing but misery their whole lives. So by any measure, most of us in this country — especially rock stars like me — are very lucky.' With that notion in mind, the musician concluded, 'That's why I don't want my funeral to be sad. I want it to be a time to say 'thanks.'' In 2023, the reality star — who revealed his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020 — also insisted that he 'doesn't fear death' and was well-aware that he had 'at best 10 years left.' 'I don't fear dying, but I don't want to have a long, painful and miserable existence,' he explained to Rolling Stone. 'I like the idea that if you have a terminal illness, you can go to a place in Switzerland and get it done quickly. I saw my father die of cancer.' 'But look, I said to Sharon that I'd smoked a joint recently and she said, 'What are you doing that for? It'll f–king kill you!'' Osbourne admitted. 'I said, 'How long do you want me to f–king live for?!' At best, I've got 10 years left and when you're older, time picks up speed.' The late star noted about his union to the former talk show host: 'Me and Sharon had our 41st wedding anniversary recently, and that's just unbelievable to me.' At the time, he also shared that he wanted to feel 'well enough' for one more live performance before his time was up. 'If I can't continue doing shows on a regular basis, I just want to be well enough to do one show where I can say, 'Hi guys, thanks so much for my life,'' he told the outlet. 'That's what I'm working towards, and if I drop down dead at the end of it, I'll die a happy man.' Along with plans for his memorial, Osbourne also detailed how he wanted to be remembered. In recent years, Osbourne had undergone multiple surgeries, including going under the knife for a debilitating spinal injury in 2019. 'I mean, I'm 73. People go, 'Well, you're 70… why don't I throw the towel in?' Why should I? People still want to buy my records,' he told People. 'People still want to see me, so why should I? It motivates me to get off my backside and do something. I mean, if my career had gone down the toilet and I knew it was the end, I'd be pretty miserable.' On July 5, Osbourne was able to turn one of his dreams into a reality. The singer performed at Black Sabbath's 'Back to the Beginning' farewell concert in his native Birmingham, England. Osbourne, who couldn't walk on his own anymore, sat in a black leather chair. He sang five songs solo, and was then accompanied by his former bandmates Tony Iommi, Bill Ward and Geezer Butler for four final Black Sabbath tunes. 'You have no idea how I feel,' he told the crowd at Villa Park. 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart.'
