Kim Kardashian's hairstylist Chris Appleton thrown thinly-veiled dig by White Lotus star ex-husband
White Lotus star Lukas Gage, 30, who split from Kim Kardashian's BFF, 42, in November 2023 after just six months of marriage, weighed in on Appleton's new tome, Your Roots Don't Define You in a candid chat with TMZ.
Gage is set to publish his own memoir, I Wrote This For Attention, in October, a mere three months before Appleton's - and said: 'I'm honored to be influential on someone else's release date of their book.'
When quizzed about the close release dates of the book, Gage said: 'Maybe it's coincidental.'
Lukas and Chris wed in front of only six guests at Little White Chapel after applying for a marriage license in Clark County.
It was the same wedding venue where Kourtney Kardashian & Travis Barker, Joe Jonas & Sophie Turner, Bruce Willis & Demi Moore, and Frank Sinatra & Mia Farrow previously walked down the aisle.
Two of the other guests were Appleton's two children - 22-year-old son Billy and 20-year-old daughter Kitty-blu - whom he welcomed with Leicester salon owner Katie Katon before he came out as homosexual at age 26.
Gage and Appleton made their romance public in February 2023 when they shared vacation snaps from The St. Regis Punta Mita Resort in Mexico.
'I'm very happy. Very much in love. And I feel very grateful to be able to share my time with someone very special,' Appleton gushed on The Drew Barrymore Show on March 17.
'Love is a really special thing and I think meeting someone that you really connect with is really really special.'
In turn Gage said he felt 'very happy, very lucky, and very much in love' while appearing on the March 27th episode of TODAY.
'He's a good-looking man. Something about being in London, I got a taste of the Brits and couldn't help myself.' Gage is known for his role as Dillon on season one of The White Lotus, Adam Pratt on season four of You and Tyler Clarkson on Euphoria.
He also has a recurring role as Lars Olmstead in the 2019-set fifth season of kidnapping black comedy Fargo, which premieres later this year on FX.
Meanwhile, Chris has a client list that includes Kardashian, Daytime Emmy-nominated host Drew Barrymore, two-time Grammy nominee Jennifer Lopez, and three-time Grammy winner Dua Lipa.
They wed in Vegas in April 2023 with Kardashian officiating.
She also organized for music superstar Shania Twain to serenade the couple.
Shania sang: 'Chris, Lukas, looks like you made it, get over here, let's do this.'
Both Chris and Lukas said: 'We love you!' as Shania broke into her 1997 classic You're Still The One.

Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis make united front on rare date night amid marital rumors
and Mila Kunis enjoyed a rare date night in Los Angeles on Wednesday, brushing off ongoing marital rumors in style—or, at least, in very different styles. The couple, who were last seen at a Backstreet Boys concert, were spotted leaving celeb hotspot La Dolce Vita, laughing and smiling as they walked together—though their outfits made them look worlds apart. Kutcher, 47, kept it ultra-casual in a slouchy henley, cargo pants, and a baseball cap. Meanwhile, Kunis, 41, went full Hollywood glam in a sleek black sleeveless dress, looking like she was about to hit the red carpet. The pair, parents to Wyatt, 10, and Dimitri, eight, appear to have moved on from the backlash they faced after writing letters of support for their former That 70's Show co-star Danny Masterson ahead of his 30-year sentence for rape in 2023. Speculation over their marriage only grew after Kutcher's once-close friend Sean ' Diddy ' Combs faced federal sex trafficking charges a year later—but the couple seems to have weathered the storm. The couple, who were last seen at a Backstreet Boys concert , were spotted leaving celeb hotspot La Dolce Vita, laughing and smiling as they walked together—though their outfits made them look worlds apart Combs and Kutcher were pals in the early 2000s via Kutcher's MTV show Punk'd which began in 2003. 'I've got a lot I can't tell,' Kutcher admitted during a 2019 Hot Ones interview when asked about Combs' infamous parties. Weeks after the arrest, an insider claimed to Daily Mail that Kutcher deeply regrets his past friendship with Combs. 'Ashton absolutely regrets his friendship with Diddy considering what has happened,' the source revealed at the time. 'He feels lied to, betrayed, taken for granted, and manipulated.' The rapper, who had pleaded not guilty to all charges, was convicted in July on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution for arranging for girlfriends and male sex workers to travel for sexual encounters that he filmed, each carrying a maximum 10-year sentence. He was acquitted of two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion and one count of racketeering conspiracy. Meanwhile, the devoted parents remain committed to shielding their young children from public scrutiny. 'We don't share any photos of our kids publicly because we feel that being public is a personal choice,' Kutcher shared on the Thrive Global Podcast with iHeartRadio in 2017. 'My wife and I have chosen a career where we're in the public light, but my kids have not, so I think they have the right to choose that,' he explained. Kutcher is set to return to television in Ryan Murphy's upcoming series The Beauty, starring alongside Evan Peters, Anthony Ramos, and Jeremy Pope. The show is based on the 2016 Image Comics graphic novel of the same name. It centers on a sexually transmitted disease that, while untreated, makes those infected irresistibly attractive—but with deadly consequences. Two detectives investigating the outbreak uncover what appears to be a government conspiracy fueled by greed and corruption. Kutcher and Anthony Ramos were spotted filming scenes for the series in Venice, Italy, in March, with the show expected to debut this fall. And Kunis recently wrapped Wake Up Dead Man, the latest Knives Out installment, which hits Netflix on December 12. She will next appear in The 47 Night Stand, a drama about an art dealer whose life spirals when his younger wife enters rehab and threatens divorce.

Top NFL insider Adam Schefter reveals how the demands of his job ruined his social life
The never-ending saga of breaking news for trades and free agency in sports has taken away the social lives of the people who deliver that information to the world. ESPN's Adam Schefter may be the best example of that, having been one of the top insiders in the NFL for the better part of a decade. Appearing on 'The Mental Game' podcast, Schefter revealed the impact that his job has had - not only on his social life, but his family's as well. He revealed that he and his wife, Sharri, used to go out to group dinners with friends and other couples. During those meet-ups, Schefter's job would constantly interrupt things. Eventually, the Schefters abandoned going to those outings altogether. 'My wife is a homebody and that works well with the job, because inevitably, we'll be at home, and stories will happen,' Schefter explained. Schefter says he and his wife, Sharri, no longer schedule group dinners with their friends after he was forced to leave multiple times due to the rigorous and constant demands of his job 'And I don't have to feel the guilt of being out to dinner. I've had it happen so many times now where I've been out to dinner with another couple or we've been in a group, and I have to go, 'Excuse me, I have to go work on something.' It has happened too many times to count, and it never seems to fail.' Initially, Sharri was the one to notice when Adam's job would take over. Eventually, she began to ban outings during NFL free agency and the draft in order to stop the disruptions. But after a while, the Schefter's began to stop going scheduling dinners and dates with friends completely. 'So we just don't do those things,' Schefter explained. 'We stay home, we order in, we hang out with our dogs, stream some shows. 'And when the phone call comes in, "Excuse me." I don't have to step away from the table, I don't have to leave the restaurant. I've had that happen too many times.' Schefter's admission isn't the only recent example of an insider revealing how their job has impacted their social life. Earlier this week, Schefter's colleague Ian Rapoport revealed how he broke the news of Baker Mayfield's trade to the Carolina Panthers at an inopportune time. Speaking to Claire Rogers, Rapoport revealed that he was standing in a bunker - ready to hit a shot - when his source tipped him off that the news was about to break. 'So I'm playing really, really well at Congressional [Country Club in Maryland]. We get to like the 16th tee and I get a text like "Get ready.",' Rapoport said. After hitting his drive and approach shot, he found himself on the beach before getting a second message telling him that it was almost time to confirm the trade. 'Balls in the bunker, I'm supposed to hit it... so I say to my buddy, I can't hit, let's let a group play through. 'At some point he's like, you gotta go. I'm like "Hold my phone, if you get a thumbs up, go to Twitter and hit send, but I'm going to hit my bunker shot. So I hit a terrible bunker shot, way, way back of the green... and then I get my phone back, I get a thumbs up, I hit send and I'm like "YES". 'It's a great moment. Two putt, go to the next hole and I'm so pumped up and I hit a mammoth drive. I'm like "This is the best."'
