Machine Gun Kelly breaks silence on Sydney Sweeney romance rumours
Blunt Machine Gun Kelly offered an abrupt three-word response to claim he and Sydney Sweeney are an item.
Megan Fox's ex has kept us guessing after breaking his silence on his relationship status after their daughter's arrival earlier this year. The famous duo have been on and off for a few years but they are now said to have called it quits for good
Speculation has grown that MGK, real name Colson Baker, 35, is involved with the American and he was asked about the truth behind the speculation during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live. But he wasn't in the mood to confirm or deny he and Sydney are anything more than pals. It comes after Liam Neeson's son reacts to his dad's romance with Pamela Anderson.
Viewer 'Kyle P.' submitted a question, which host Andy Cohen, 57, didn't shy away from putting to the rapper. "MGK, Kyle P. wants to know if there's any truth you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends?" he asked the musician.
His blunt response left everyone guessing. "Kyle P....." he said. "Shut up dude!" He and the actress and producer Sydney, 27, have known each other since 2021, when they worked alongside each other in film Downfalls High, which MGK also directed.
Back in June, he spoke out about his relationship with his child's mother and where he and Megan stand with each other. Machine Gun Kelly, 35, appeared on Friday's Today Show where he spoke positively about his ex and what the future holds.
He said: "Megan is a great mom." He added: "She's killing it. I'm so excited." He then went on to talk about the sentimental meaning behind their daughter's name.
MGK said that Saga's name represents him and 39-year-old Megan's experience of having a baby together. He discussed how the two of them went through a pregnancy loss. He said: "Coming back again, disappearing, coming back again. She is an epic story. And that's what Saga means." MGK added: "I'm also of Norwegian heritage so that's the Nordic goddess of storytelling."
He then went on to talk about what he thinks his daughter might do in the future as he said he thinks she's got a "storytelling future ahead of her". MGK and Megan's relationship first began back in 2020 when they met on the set of crime thriller Midnight in the Switchgrass.
MGK popped the question in 2022. They then went on to split in early 2023 before getting back together.
Later that year Megan said that she had a miscarriage during their relationship as she made the sad confession in her poetry book Pretty Boys Are Poisonous. MGK also seemed to mention the loss in February 2024 in his song don't let me go where he sang: "How can I live with the fact / That my hand wasn't on her stomach when we lost the baby."
It was in November of last year that Megan announced that she was expecting their rainbow baby but the couple then split up just a month after the announcement. The on-off couple's daughter was later born in March.
Before being with MGK, Megan was married to actor Brian Austin Green for a decade.
The exes were together for 16 years in total and are parents to three sons Noah, 12, Bodhi, 10, and Journey, eight. MGK is also a dad to his daughter Casie Colson Baker who is 15-years-old and he shares with his ex-girlfriend Emma Cannon.

Fans slam iconic 80s rockers for calling Trump appointment ‘great honour'
Kiss has infuriated fans by calling their inclusion in US President Trump's Kennedy Center Honours a 'great honour.' The 80s band has been named alongside soul singer Gloria Gaynor, country star George Strait, and actors Sylvester Stallone and Michael Crawford. This is the first Kennedy Center Honours since President Trump took over as chairman of the arts and culture center in Washington DC earlier this year. The highly controversial move has been pointed to as a sign of encroaching authoritarianism in the US, as Trump's first action was removing Biden-era appointees from the board and stacking it with loyalists. Yesterday, in a press conference to announce the honourees, Trump said: 'We'll be honouring one of the greatest rock bands of all time, Kiss. So Kiss was formed in 1973 in New York City by founding band members – and incredible people, by the way – Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss 'Kiss became a global phenomenon. Sold more than 100 million records worldwide and produced 30 gold albums and lots of other things. They produced, they made a fortune. And they're great people and they deserve it and they work hard and they're still. 'And they're going to do something very special. Kiss is going to be here a little bit before the show. I think they're gonna do something very special. We're gonna have a good time.' In response to the announcement, Gene Simmons told TMZ: 'Kiss is the embodiment of the American dream. We are deeply honoured to receive the Kennedy Center Honour.' 'From our earliest days, Kiss has embodied the American ideal that all things are possible and that hard work pays off,' adds Paul Stanley. 'The prestige of the Kennedy Center Honours cannot be overstated, and I accept this on behalf of the long legacy of Kiss and all of the band members who helped create our iconic band.' Many Kiss fans are extremely disappointed by the band's reaction, accusing them of capitulating to Trump's growing censorship of American arts. One Reddit thread saw users embroiled in a heated discussion, with @Mr_pootatohead writing: 'Is Gene going to lick Trump's boots now after saying, a couple of years ago, 'I knew him before he entered politics. Look what that gentleman did to this country and the polarization — got all the cockroaches to rise to the top. Once upon a time, you were embarrassed to be publicly racist and out there with conspiracy theories. Now it's all out in the open because he allowed it.' Would they be allowed to wear their drag-inspired costumes?' One user disagreed, writing: 'They should decline because you don't agree politically? I hate Trump personally, but the Kennedy Honours is just a PR event to celebrate American arts & culture.' In response @twoquarters posted: 'Indeed that is what it was but the accelerated movement into authoritarianism has seen a contamination of nearly all politically? No. I don't even know we are in an era where politics even works. It's far beyond that now.' X users are also displeased, with @LeeJohnson65 writing: 'Nope. I've been a KISS fan since the beginning but if they support this regime, I'm out.' @OxfordBuckeye agreed: 'Always thought Kiss were overrated garbage. This proves it.' Indeed, Trump made no mention of how critical members of the band have been of him in the past. In January 2021, as Trump sought to call the results of the 2020 election into question, Stanley described his actions as 'abhorrent,' 'mob boss behavior,' and 'a true danger to our democracy.' Four months earlier, Stanley also wrote on Twitter: 'REGARDLESS of who you support, it is incendiary & abhorrent for ANY candidate to say 'If I lose, the election is rigged. It's an insult to those who have fought for the free, safe elections we have and dangerously implies that citizens who don't share your views are the enemy.' More Trending Simmons also countered Trump's election fraud lies in 2020, posting that '60 courts in various states and 60 Judges (including Pres Trump appointed Judges) UNANIMOUSLY, and without exception, dismissed ALL allegations of a rigged that Includes Trump appointed US Attorney General Bill Barr!!!' Back in March, Trump outlined his intention to not only host the ceremony himself, but also to choose honourees who aligned with his political views. He said: 'We'll go slightly more conservative, if you don't mind, with some of the people/ There are people out there that would not be considered that are much bigger stars than the ones that were being honoured…In the past, I mean, these are radical left lunatics that have been chosen. I didn't like it. I couldn't watch it. And the host was always terrible.'

Machine Gun Kelly buys daughter Casie a sensible car for her 16th birthday
proved to be a doting dad as he celebrated his daughter Casie's 16th birthday, by buying her 'dream car'. The 35-year-old rapper spoiled his eldest daughter during her special day in July, as the teen was seen gushing over a black Acura TLX in a viral video. As he surprised her with the new wheels, the rapper had one rule for his girl: 'Don't drive like your dad.' The star said about the moderately priced vehicle: 'I don't know why it's her dream car, but it's her dream car.' According to Business Insider, the sleek sedan ranges from $45,400-$62,000 - a small price for the artist, whose net worth is an estimated $25million. Speaking of Casie getting her driver's permit, MGK said in the clip: 'It runs in the family, dude. We can't get a license to save our lives.' This comes as Machine Gun Kelly made wild claims he might have an extraterrestrial background during his appearance on What Happens Live with Andy Cohen. The rapper, 35, revealed he has considered the possibility that he may have alien lineage thanks to several mysteries in his life, including his body's ability to quickly recover from injuries. Adding fuel to the theory, MGK says his mother suspects she may have been abducted by a UFO at one point - which may explain for the rapper's quirks. He opened the can of worms as he admitted he didn't know how old he was, saying: 'It's a weird thing, dude, I don't know if my age, I don't know if it exists'. He said: 'I don't know many facts about my life, so I don't know, I'm starting to just be like, like my skin, like if it rips open, it heals really quick.' 'How?' an intrigued Andy asked. MGK continued: 'There's just things where I'm starting to be like, "Who's my dad?" 'Do you think that you could be like otherworld?' Andy asked. 'I've asked my mom, I said, "Any period of time you went like missing, off Earth?... Ever a tall, slender creature?"' he said. 'She told me she felt like she got abducted at one point.' 'So there may be something to this!' Andy said. 'No, there really is!' he said. 'I'm bad at talking, I shouldn't have came on a talk show.' The speculation about his heritage wasn't all MGK discussed on the show. The rapper also had a dramatic three-word response to rumors he may have struck up a romance with Sydney Sweeney. Viewer 'Kyle P.' submitted a question asking MGK about the matter, and the actor did not shy away from telling the curious fan exactly how he felt about the topic. 'MGK, Kyle P. wants to know if there's any truth you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends?' Host Andy Cohen, 57, asked, reading the viewer-submitted question. 'Kyle P., shut up dude,' MGK said, garnering laughter from the studio.

New book from Federico Marchetti, "The Geek of Chic," set for September release
Federico Marchetti's new book, with a foreword by Giorgio Armani, will be released in English on September 9th. The book, "The Geek of chic: an american dream italian style" (304 pages, 18.99 dollars), is published by the American publisher Post Hill Press. The book is described as an "inspiring story full of successes, mistakes, honesty and what it takes to start from scratch, with the aim of giving courage to anyone who wants to change the world". At the beginning of 2000, Marchetti secured a multi-million dollar investment from Benchmark, a venture capital firm, and transformed it into Yoox Net-a-Porter Group (YNAP). YNAP was later sold to Richemont, the Swiss group that owns Cartier among other brands, for six billion dollars. The book's introduction states, "Marchetti found his recipe for success by combining the technical skills of Silicon Valley with Italian creativity and humanism. His approach to business draws on this Italian DNA, yet Marchetti helped bring fashion into the 21st century by building the first Italian unicorn, in a country lacking digital infrastructure and technological culture." The cover of The Geek of chic: an american dream italian style Credits: Federico Marchetti website Marchetti's story unfolds against the backdrop of European landscapes: Milan, Lake Como, Venice, and the English Royal Palaces. His journey begins with a challenging Italian childhood. It touches on many of the most significant moments in international business of recent decades, from working in the Twin Towers to studying at Columbia Business School, to launching a startup just before the dotcom bubble. Along the way, he meets the most influential figures in the tech world, from Jeff Bezos to Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg. The book's introduction concludes, "Marchetti sits on Armani's board of directors as the only non-family member, attends fashion shows, and co-invests in Luca Guadagnino's films. The Geek of chic is as inspiring as it is entertaining, full of style, surreal situations, unexpected events, and sliding doors moments." The New Yorker wrote of Marchetti that "no one has done more than Federico to bring e-commerce to fashion," and the New York Times called him "The man who put fashion online." In 2021, the then Prince of Wales, now King Charles III, asked him to chair the Fashion Task Force of the Sustainable Markets Initiative. Marchetti and King Charles, who share a passion for craftsmanship and education, also conceived The Modern Artisan project in 2018. This initiative created an ongoing collaboration between The King's Foundation (formerly The Prince's Foundation) and YNAP, designed to encourage young students and artisans to create sustainable luxury using data and technology.
