Olivia Rodrigo Makes First Post With Boyfriend Louis Partridge After Glastonbury
Love may be embarrassing, but that doesn't seem to be keeping Olivia Rodrigo from making her relationship Instagram official.
After almost two years of rumors and hopeful speculation from adoring fans, Olivia Rodrigo, 22, confirmed that English actor, Louis Partridge, 22, is most definitely her boyfriend in an Instagram post recounting her wildly successful weekend headlining Glastonbury Music Festival.
The caption on Rodrigo's post reads, "glasto. best weekend there ever was. so happy and grateful🌼🌼🌼."
And, while it might look like she's only talking about her performance at first, fans who scrolled through the carousel took note of the short video on the 8th slide, the clip of the Vampire singer on the shoulders of none other than Louis Partridge, rocking out in the crowd.
Rodrigo's Lowercase shades may be shielding her eyes from the hot Glastonbury sun, but blissful, unadulterated joy is written all over her face. Over the weekend, Olivia Rodrigo performed an iconic headlining set, during which she invited '80s legend Robert Smith of the Cure to join her on stage. The pair performed two of Smith's greatest hits from the Cure's discography: Friday I'm In Love and Just Like Heaven.
Fans raced to the comments to celebrate the couple's launch. "THE 8TH SLIDE OMG HELLO LOUIS WE FINALLY GOT HALF HIS FACE ON OLIVIA'S FEED WE WON😭," commented one fan, who had absolutely no chill, but in the best possible way.
While rumors have surrounded Rodrigo and Partridge for the better part of the last two years, this is the first time Rodrigo has shared anything about her relationship on social media.
Partridge also made a point of posting about Rodrigo on his own Instagram account, praising her performance and her work ethic both on and off-stage.
"You are the sweetest most supportive boyfriend and I love the two of you together! ❤️❤️❤️" wrote a commenter on Partridge's post.

However, insiders speculated that the series was most likely cut because it was simply becoming too expensive.

MGK Reveals He Turned Down 'Sinners' Audition Because 'I Just Wouldn't' Say a Racial Slur
MGK revealed he was considering the audition for the role of Bert, who was ultimately played by Peter DreimanisNEED TO KNOW MGK appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Thursday, July 31, episode During his conversation, he revealed his aspirations to act in film and TV He explained to the host that, along with productions passing on him, he recently passed on auditioning for Sinners after he learned he would be required to say a racial slurMGK reveals he almost auditioned for Sinners before declining the opportunity. The musician, formerly known as Machine Gun Kelly, appeared on the Thursday, July 31, episode of The Pat McAfee Show, and revealed that he denied an audition for Ryan Coogler's box office hit after he saw he would be required to say a racial slur. The 35-year-old singer confessed to the host that he has 'a lot of aspirations to be in movies. It just hasn't panned out that way,' adding, 'I'm on universal timing, though, so we'll see.' MGK continued, 'I mean, there's there's been plenty of movies that come out that I'm like, 'Ah, I was supposed to be in that.' Or, 'Oh, I did auditions for that.' Like Sinners, I was supposed to be in that." The "Wild Boy" rapper considered auditioning for the role of Bert, who was ultimately played by Peter Dreimanis. The character is married to Lola Kirke's Joan, and the two become vampires after they unknowingly let mysterious vampire Remmick (Jack O'Connell) into their home. 'The vampire — they had me set up to do the audition— it's the one that's in the house, so he's the second vampire, the one that the guy comes and eats the family," MGK remembered. "In the audition, he has to say the 'n-word' and I wouldn't do it.' Set in 1932 Mississippi, identical twin brothers Smoke and Stack, both played by Michael B. Jordan, return to their hometown to leave their troubles behind and turn an abandoned mill into a blues nightclub. Backed by stolen money and joined by their cousin Sammie (Miles Caton), the club's grand opening draws in more than just curious locals. Among the guests is Remmick, Bert and Joan, whose arrival turns the celebration into something far more sinister. Despite his decision to pass on the film, he told McAfee and his panel of guests that he's still eager to act in film and TV. "Hey, dude. I'd like to be in cinema while I still look young," he cheekily said directly to the camera, as McAfee added, "Okay. All right. That was the message to Hollywood." "I would really like to be recruited into a movie while I still got some looks," MGK reiterated, and McAfee declared, "We're part of an Oscar run here." Sinners premiered in theaters on April 18, earning $45.6 million at the domestic box office during its opening weekend. It reportedly made over $365 million in theaters, per Deadline, and became the highest-grossing original film since the pandemic, according to Forbes. The movie's wild success even knocked the popular A Minecraft Movie out of its top spot — and made history as the first horror in 35 years to receive an A from CinemaScore, a company that polls opening-night audiences.

Paula Deen abruptly closes restaurant that launched her to celebrity chef status
In the late 1990s, Paula Deen was an independent restaurateur whose family-operated restaurant had just received a glowing review from USA Today. Her life and career were permanently changed. Now, over 25 years later, the Georgia native has announced the closing of the Lady and Sons — the iconic restaurant that made her a star of Southern cuisine and a household name in the cooking world. Opened in downtown Savannah, Ga., in 1996, the Lady and Sons boasted a menu of local classics like fried green tomatoes, banana pudding and hoecakes. The signature dish, Southern fried chicken, was enough to draw lines wrapping around the block — and the restaurant came to be viewed as an embodiment of the indulgent and buttery flavors that characterize Southern cooking. 'There in Savannah, Paula Deen's homestyle Southern menu at the Lady and Sons turned me into a ravenous beast, unmindful of manners, cholesterol, North-South diplomacy and the dropped jaws of my companions,' USA Today, then the nation's most-read daily newspaper, wrote on Dec. 17, 1999. Earlier that year, the popularity of the Lady and Sons caught the attention of Food Network journalist Gordon Elliott. Deen appeared on Elliott's short-lived show 'Door Knock Dinners' that led to her own Daytime Emmy-winning Food Network program, 'Paula's Home Cooking.' On her website and social media accounts, Deen bid farewell to the Lady and Sons and its longtime fans. Also closing is her newer restaurant, the Chicken Box, which opened in 2023. 'Hey, y'all, my sons and I made the heartfelt decision that Thursday, July 31st, was the last day of service for The Lady & Sons and The Chicken Box,' Deen said in the statement. 'We will now focus our attention on the four Paula Deen's Family Kitchen locations across the country.' The announcement came without warning, especially as the restaurant continued to draw tours and lines of customers. Three weeks prior to the announcement, the Lady and Sons posted on Instagram that it was hiring for all positions. Over the years, some of Deen's other restaurants have also closed suddenly. In 2014, employees at Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House — a Savannah eatery she co-owned with her brother, Earl W. 'Bubba' Hiers Jr. — reportedly arrived to work to find the doors locked and the appliances removed. A sign on the door said, 'Thank you for 10 great years. Uncle Bubba's is now closed.' The Panama City, Fla., location of Paula Deen's Family Kitchen also closed abruptly in 2019, laying off 30 employees without advance notice. Several former employees told local news channel WJHG that they were left without their main source of income following the closure. Uncle Bubba's closure came a year after controversy began to surround Deen after a former manager at the restaurant sued Hiers, alleging sexual and racial discrimination. Food Network canceled 'Paula's Home Cooking' after Deen admitted to using a racial slur during a deposition for the 2013 lawsuit. Lawyers asked Deen if she had ever used the N-word, to which Deen replied, 'Yes, of course,' later adding, 'It's been a very long time.' Since then, the 78-year-old has focused on her restaurants. The Lady and Sons, as her core establishment, was the result of a litany of personal struggles and ambition. Both of her parents passed away when she was in her early 20s and Deen, then a young mother, struggled with depression and agoraphobia, or fear of going outside. With only $200 left, Deen founded a catering company out of her kitchen called the Bag Lady. Her handmade bag lunches were delivered by her sons Jamie and Bobby and earned Deen a local reputation for her homestyle cooking. After one attempt at a restaurant, the Lady in 1991, the follow-up, the Lady and Sons, co-owned with Jamie and Bobby, would be her success.
