Sabrina Carpenter Puts Feud Rumors to Rest at Olivia Rodrigo Concert
On Friday, Sabrina Carpenter was seen supporting Olivia Rodrigo at her BST Hyde Park concert in London. Rodrigo was headlining the event and Carpenter could be seen enjoying the music from the VIP section. Both pop stars formerly dated actor Joshua Bassett, leading to longstanding rumors of feuding or competition beginning around 2021, but it seems obvious that both Carpenter and Rodrigo have moved on.
Carpenter can be seen in photos shared by the Daily Mail wearing a semi-sheer white baby doll dress and a pair of black-framed glasses. Over one shoulder she wore a red purse and was holding a glass of wine, smiling widely during the show. On stage, Rodrigo wore a black bodysuit with large torso cutouts covered in silver fringe with a pair of black boots. She was later joined on stage by Ed Sheeran.
Bassett is rumored to be the subject of Rodrigo's 2021 hit song 'Driver's License,' after they dated while filming the popular show High School Musical: The Musical: The Series in 2019. In 2020, Carpenter and Bassett were romantically linked, but they supposedly split in 2021. In her song, Rodrigo sings about 'that blonde girl' who 'made [her] doubt' the relationship.
Rodrigo is now dating actor Louis Partridge, who she was first seen with in late 2023. Carpenter has since been linked to Shawn Mendes and Barry Keoghan, and is now supposedly single.
In a 2024 interview with ELLE, Partridge dodged a question about whether Rodrigo's song 'So American' was about him, joking, 'Not my song, not my place. So I wouldn't know.'
He did share, 'My girlfriend has been trying to get me into more pop recently—Chappell Roan has been on repeat.'
He also said that he sees himself as a golden retriever boyfriend type.
'I think in past relationships my mind worked at a different speed to the women I've known,' he said. 'A bit slower. The way I would characterize it is like a Golden Retriever and a black cat. I can imagine being happy sitting and catching a Frisbee.'

Video: Golden Retriever Struggles Between Craving & Morals Until He Gives One Up
A viral Instagram video has captured a Golden Retriever's internal battle between his morals and a strong craving for cheese. Instagram user @beaunosebones posted the clip, showcasing the dog's strong sense of right and wrong. Despite his endless attempts to resist his urge to eat the string cheese, the pup finally gives in to the temptation. Golden Retriever's cheese craving is so big his morals can't keep up in video In the hilarious video, the Golden Retriever, Beau, enters the living room and spots string cheese in his owner's hand. The twist is that the pet parent is sleeping while holding the same, putting the dog in a conundrum. The on-screen caption sets up the scenario: 'Pretending to fall asleep with string cheese in my hand.' What follows is a playful narration that embodies Beau's inner monologue, as he tries his best to resist the temptation to eat the snack. The narration begins, 'Cheese? Don't mind if I do.' Beau begins licking the same, but soon looks around to read the room. He observes, 'Wait, this smells fishy. Dad sleeping? Not fishy. But not finishing his food? Def fishy.' This is when the Golden decides, 'I'll just stare until he wakes up,' resting his head on the couch, and staring at his human while waiting patiently. However, Beau's resolve is tested. 'Well, that's not working. I can't wait any longer. I'm doing it,' the narration continues. The pup's conscience kicks in again as he pulls back after a couple of licks. 'I got this. Am a good boy, not bad,' the narration goes. Beau reasons, 'Maybe I'll just kiss dad till he wakes up,' gently licking his owner's hand instead of the cheese. There is a moment when Beau suspects his human is waking up, and he strategizes to 'act like you're being a good boy,' pretending to fall asleep. He realizes it was a false alarm and decides to change strategies. 'Activate aggressive lick sequence,' says the voiceover, as he increases his efforts to have his owner drop the cheese. Finally, the cheese tumbles out of the pet parent's hand, and Beau celebrates with 'Winner, winner, cheesy dinner.'

Anthony Hopkins mocks Kim Kardashian's SKIMS face wrap with chilling Hannibal Lecter parody
LOS ANGELES, Aug 1 — Sir Anthony Hopkins has gone viral for mocking Kim Kardashian's new SKIMS face wrap by reviving his Oscar-winning Hannibal Lecter character, the Daily Mail reported. In a video posted on Instagram, the 86-year-old actor donned a nude post-surgical mask eerily similar to the one Kardashian unveiled this week as part of her SKIMS 'Ultimate Face' line — a sculpting wrap designed to tighten and lift the face. 'Hello Kim, I'm already feeling 10 years younger. Goodbye,' Hopkins said, mimicking his famous line from The Silence of the Lambs while wearing the mask. He ended the clip with a chilling slurp, referencing Lecter's infamous 'fava beans and Chianti' scene. The post was captioned: 'Thank you, Kim. Don't be afraid to come over for dinner.' The parody lit up social media, with fans calling it 'the Hannibal reboot we didn't think we needed' and 'the most important cultural event to happen this decade.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Anthony Hopkins (@anthonyhopkins) 'Are you having Kim for dinner?' one commenter joked. Another wrote: 'Anthony Hopkins dissing Kim wasn't on my bingo list.' While some fans praised the post as brilliant publicity for Kardashian's shapewear brand, others doubled down on their criticism of the product, which many claimed looked like something out of a horror film. 'Is it April Fools?' one asked. Another quipped: 'What in the Hannibal is this?' 'Kim: New Hannibal Lecter nylon face wrap just dropped!!!' a commenter wrote sarcastically, referencing the chaotic state of global affairs. The product, which promises facial sculpting benefits, triggered a flood of bemused and angry comments online, including: 'There's a 16-year-old girl out there thinking she needs to buy this crap,' and 'SKIMS: Making women feel bad about themselves since 2018.' Despite the backlash, the item sold out on the SKIMS website the day it launched. One social media user took aim at Kardashian matriarch Kris Jenner, writing: 'If this works so well, why didn't Kris use this instead of spending thousands on a facelift?' Jenner's representative confirmed earlier this year that she underwent a procedure by celebrity surgeon Dr Steven M. Levine. The parody came amid fresh criticism of Kardashian, after a widely mocked runway appearance at Balenciaga's recent Paris Fashion Week show. While her sister Kendall Jenner is a seasoned catwalk model, Kim's stiff walk sparked laughter online. 'Go Kim, give us nothing,' one fan commented. Another said: 'This is how I walk after two margaritas trying not to look drunk.' Yet, in typical Kardashian fashion, the controversy appears only to have boosted sales — and now, even Lecter is in on the conversation.

Megan Fox's Dating History Includes Whirlwind Romances Beyond Machine Gun Kelly
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. THE RUNDOWN Megan Fox has been in the spotlight since she was 15 years old, and in that time, she's had a number of high-profile relationships. The actress and writer has always been extremely open about her intense approach to romance—and she's had partners who completely match that energy. She's also shared that there were people in her dating history she can never talk about. In 2023, Fox promoted her poetry book, Pretty Boys Are Poisonous, on Good Morning America and explained that she often uses her relationships as inspiration. But some people can never be named. 'This is not an exposé that I wrote or a throughout my life, I have been in at least one physically abusive relationship and several psychologically very abusive relationships,' she said. 'I have only been publicly connected to a few people, but I shared energy with, I guess we could say, who were horrific people. And also very famous—very famous—people. But no one knows that I was involved with those people.' Here's what is known about Megan Fox's complete dating history so far. Ben Leahy Fox dated a boy from her high school, Ben Leahy, for three years before she became a star, according to a 2009 interview with Rolling Stone. They seemed to have a typical teen romance that ended when she headed to Los Angeles. 'I loved him,' she said. 'He was very sweet and wonderful, really tall and big with a perfect body, and he was a badass. I was totally drawn to him.' Fox started dating 7th Heaven's David Gallagher around 2004 after she starred in Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. He joined her at the film's premiere, but they broke up after about a year of dating. Fox was linked to her Transformers co-star Shia LaBeouf briefly during one of her periods of being split from her future husband, Brian Austin Green. They were in both the 2007 movie and the 2009 sequel together and dated around 2011, per LaBeouf's claims in a 2011 Details magazine interview. 'Look, you're on the set for six months with someone who's rooting to be attracted to you, and you're rooting to be attracted to them,' he said. 'I never understood the separation of work and life in that situation. But the time I spent with Megan was our own thing.' In 2018, Fox confirmed the relationship during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live, admitting they had a 'romantic relationship,' but it didn't last long. 'I mean I would confirm that it was romantic,' she said. 'I love him; I have never been really quiet about that, I love him.' In 2006, when she was only 18 years old, Fox was cast on the ABC sitcom Hope & Faith across from 90210 star Brian Austin Green. 'I liked him right away,' she told New York Times Magazine in 2009. 'Everyone was around the monitor watching a scene, and Brian accidentally touched my leg. I remember literal electricity shooting through me and out me from every direction. It was like magic.' Green told KFC Radio in 2019 that he ignored his feelings for Fox at the start. 'It's funny; I kept pushing her away early on because I was like, 'I don't want a relationship,'' he explained. 'And then she was like, 'Well cool, I'm going to go date.'' He added, 'I was like, 'Wait a second, I didn't say go date, please!' So then that's when I realized I was, like 'Fuck, I must be really into this situation, [because] the thought of that kills me.'' In 2008, Fox and Green got engaged. They then called it off. A source told People that the split was was 'mutual,' and they remained 'friends.' Then they reconciled, getting married on June 24, 2010, in Hawaii. In February 2012, Fox told Cosmopolitan that Green was her 'soulmate.' 'I truly feel like he's my soulmate,' she said. 'I don't want to sound corny or cliché, but I do believe we are destined to live this part of our lives together.' That same year, Fox and Green revealed they were expecting a baby and welcomed their son Noah Shannon on Sept. 27, 2012. Their second son, Bodhi Ransom, arrived on Feb. 12, 2014. In August 2015, a source told People the pair was living separately. 'Megan and Brian's split is a classic Hollywood story of two people in different stages of life and career,' the source said. 'They will always love each other very much and are devoted to their kids. Anything could happen in the future, but for now they've decided it's best to take some time apart.' Soon after, Fox filed for divorce, according to Page Six, citing irreconcilable differences. A source told Us Weekly that August, 'They decided on it six months ago.' But in April 2016, a source confirmed to Us Weekly that Fox was expecting a third child. Green confirmed he was the father to People, saying, 'You know, nothing is planned. None of them are ever planned. You kind of just go with it. At my age, to be having three babies, is crazy. I'll be 43 this year.' Fox and Green welcomed another son, Journey River, on Aug. 4, 2016. On an episode of ...with Brian Austin Green in September 2018, via People, Green said, 'Marriage is hard. It's work, I think for anyone. I think when you get to the point like we have, where you have kids, and you've been married for a while, and we've been together for a long time, it's—you just take it day by day." He continued, 'Some people look at divorce or things not working as, like, a disappointment, and it's not. The fact that it worked at all is a positive. We have three amazing kids. We've had and we have a great relationship. We're just taking it day by day.' In April 2019, Fox filed papers to dismiss their divorce proceedings, according to E!. But by the end of 2019, they had separated again, which Green confirmed later after rumors of her relationship with Machine Gun Kelly started circulating in 2020. First, it was reported that she and Green were quarantining separately that year, leading to rumors of their split. During an episode of ...with Brian Austin Green podcast in May 2020, Green explained what happened. 'She said, 'I realized when I was out of the country working alone that I feel more like myself, and I liked myself better during that experience and I think that might be something worth trying for me,'' he shared. 'I was shocked and I was upset about it, but I can't be upset at her because she didn't ask to feel that way. It wasn't a choice she made, that's the way she honestly felt.' Of Fox and Kelly being seen together, he said, 'I've never met him, but Megan and I have talked about him. They're friends at this point, and from what she's expressed, he's a really nice, genuine guy, and I trust her judgment.' Fox filed for divorce again in November 2020. In February 2021, E! reported Green was struggling with the end of the marriage, with a source claiming, 'Brian is definitely not making it easy or doing things quickly. Megan would like to wrap it up and get it finished as quickly as possible, but Brian is not exactly working with her on that.' Shortly after their divorce was finalized in February 2022, Green announced he was expecting a child with his girlfriend, Shana Burgess, whom he started dating in October 2020. On Call Her Daddy in 2024, Fox talked about the relationship with Green, saying, 'I was not a great girlfriend to Brian. I'll be very honest. I was young and really should not have been in a relationship of that level of commitment and magnitude. I did a lot of, like, falling in love with other people all the time. I would go to work and fall in love because I was a kid.' Fox met musician Machine Gun Kelly on the set of the indie thriller Midnight In The Switchgrass in early 2020, per Deadline. The pair was seen together around Los Angeles and the Daily Mail published photos of them grabbing takeout together in Calabasas, California, in May. A source told E! that the co-stars had 'been hanging out a lot since their movie was shutdown [due to COVID-a9],' adding, 'The downtime has been good for are intrigued by each other and having a lot of fun.' A source told E! at the time, 'Megan has been working on a movie with Machine Gun Kelly and gotten close to him. They are hooking up and have been for a little while. She is separated from Brian Austin Green, and they are taking time apart as a couple. She has something going on with Machine Gun Kelly that she is excited about.' Things quickly got hot and heavy. In July, Fox and Kelly were interviewed on Lala Kent and Randall Emmett's podcast, Give Them Lala ... With Randall. Fox shared that she sensed something would come of their meeting after she heard MGK was cast in the film. After two days on set together, Fox felt a profound connection. 'I knew right away that he was what I call a twin flame,' she recalled. 'Instead of a soulmate, a twin flame is actually where a soul has ascended into a high enough level that it can be split into two different bodies at the same time. So we're actually two halves of the same soul, I think. And I said that to him almost immediately, because I felt it right away.' By January 2022, the couple was engaged. They announced the news on Instagram in a now-deleted post, along with a story about drinking one another's blood to seal the connection. MGK shared a photo of the emerald and diamond ring designed by jeweler Stephen Webster, saying it incorporated both of their birthstones. In February 2023, the couple attended a Super Bowl party that led to a dramatic turn in their relationship. Fox suddenly unfollowed Kelly on Instagram and deleted almost all their photos together. She then shared a post quoting the Beyoncé lyric, 'You can taste the dishonesty / It's all over your breath,' from the artist's 2016 song, 'Pray You Catch Me' from Lemonade, famously about Jay-Z's infidelity. A source told People that week, '[They] had a fight over the weekend,' adding that Fox is 'very upset' and wouldn't 'speak to' Kelly. 'They haven't officially called off the engagement, but Megan took her ring off,' the source said. 'They have had issues in the past, but things seem pretty serious this time.' They ultimately decided to work it out, with a source telling Entertainment Tonight, 'Megan and MGK have had ups and downs throughout their relationship, but at the end of the day, they have a lot of love for each other and a deep connection. They have very strong feelings for one another, so their emotions often come out in intense ways. They are working together with the goal of trying to mend things and move forward together.' In March 2024, Fox opened up more about the issues in her relationship with MGK on an episode of Call Her Daddy, confirming they previously called off their engagement. She also said she would be pulling back on discussing their relationship in public. 'I think that what I've learned from being in this relationship is that it's not for public consumption,' Fox said. 'So I think, as of now, I don't have a comment on the status of the relationship, per se. What I can say is that [he] is what I refer to as being my 'twin soul,' and there will always be a tether to him, no matter what. I can't say for sure what the capacity will be, but I will always be connected to him somehow. Beyond that, I'm not willing to explain. All those things you said were accurate things that have occurred [that we got engaged, called it off, and now people aren't sure what our status is]. And I could see them being confusing, or interesting to people, and them being like, 'What's up?'' In November 2024, Fox announced that she was pregnant with her and Kelly's first child. She shared a photo on Instagram, referring to a previous pregnancy loss she experienced with MGK in the caption, writing, 'Nothing is ever really lost. welcome back 👼🏼❤️' The following month, TMZ reported that Kelly and Fox had broken up while on a trip to Colorado over Thanksgiving after Fox 'found material on MGK's phone that was upsetting, and it made her want him to leave the trip early.' A source confirmed the breakup to Us Weekly, saying, 'They broke up in late November. They were trying to make it work again after the pregnancy, but they are both too hot-headed and fell back into their constant fighting. They can't get on the same page, and it's not easy for them being together.' Fox and MGK welcomed their daughter on March 27, 2025. Kelly shared footage of their newborn and wrote, 'she's finally here!! our little celestial seed 🥹💓♈️♓️♊️' Since welcoming their daughter, the couple has reportedly been doing well as co-parents, but Fox is supposedly not interested in a romantic reconciliation. A source speaking with People shared, 'It feels magical to her that she now has a baby girl too. She's doing great and over the moon about her baby girl.' They continued, 'The last few months alone have been difficult for her. At this point, she plans on co-parenting with Colson [Kelly's real name], but that's it. She won't be getting back together with him.' Shortly after, Kelly revealed the baby's name in an Instagram post. 'Saga Blade Fox-Baker ❤️🔥 thank you for the ultimate gift @meganfox,' he wrote. He later shared he picked the name during a July 2025 interview with Today. During a June 2025 appearance on Today, MGK referred to Fox's previous miscarriage, sharing how that experience influenced the name they chose together. 'Her journey, the five years of her culmination of coming, disappearing, coming back again, disappearing, coming back again, she's an epic story, and that's what Saga means,' said Kelly. 'I'm also of Norwegian heritage and so that's a Nordic goddess of storytelling, and I think she has a storytelling future ahead of her. Megan's a great mom and just killing it, and I'm so excited.'
