How this former NFL star fumbled a date with Rihanna
The post How this former NFL star fumbled a date with Rihanna appeared first on ClutchPoints. Love was on the brain for this former NFL star, but he fumbled. Matt Leinart recently opened up about how his date with Rihanna failed due to a cosmetic flaw. The former Arizona Cardinals quarterback shared the humbling experience on his Throwbacks podcast, which he co-hosts with Entourage actor Jerry Ferrara. In a conversation with Ferrara and show guest Josh Richman, Leinart shared how he asked Rihanna to a date at Teddy's nightclub in L.A. The date was in fact his third attempt to get the singer on a date, but shared that because of the blister on his lip for staying out in the sun too long, he was embarrassed to look the singer in the eye. Despite feeling uneasy on the date with RiRi, his friends hyped him up to tell him that the blister was no big deal and not to worry about it. While the date ultimately failed anyway, with the singer no longer showing interest in pursuing anything further, he has no regrets, as he was able to meet his wife Josie, whom he later married in 2018. They also share their sons Cannon, 3, and Cayson, 5. The former quarterback also shares his 18-year-old son Cole with his ex-girlfriend Brynn Cameron. Rihanna Relationship with A$AP Rocky While Leinhart and Rihanna didn't end up working out, the singer was also able to start a life with longtime friend-turned-lover, A$AP Rocky. The two began dating in late 2020, after being friends for nearly a decade. The couple now share two children, RZA Athelston Mayers (born May 2022) and Riot Rose Mayers (born August 2023). She is also currently pregnant with their third child. Rihanna previously shared that in 2023 that she loves seeing him as a father. 'I love him differently as a dad. It's a turn on,' she told Page Six at the time. She mentioned in her Harpers Bazaar interview back in February how Rocky reminds her that 'no matter how hard everything is that we're dealing with in our life, in our careers and as parents, he's like, 'Remember when we were friends? Remember when we just used to have fun as friends?'' The singer continued sharing what she loves about the rapper and that she jokingly gets annoyed that Rocky is the favorite for their boys. 'His pureness. His charm. I'm annoyed because my sons sometimes just live for him more than they live for me,' she says. 'And I'm like, 'Did you know who cooked you? Do you know who pushed you out?' And they love him, but when I see it, oh, it's the best.' The feelings are very mutual as the rapper shared back in 2021 that the singer is the 'love of my life.' 'As for what it's like to be in a relationship,' the rapper told GQ during his June/July cover story. 'So much better. So much better when you got 'the One.' She amounts to probably, like, a million of the other ones.' 'I think when you know, you know,' he added at the time. 'She's the One.'

Yes, It's OK to Care More About Your Kid's Clothes Than Your Own
Among my friends, the reaction to Rihanna's sons Riot and RZA wearing custom Dior Homme on a recent red carpet fell into two camps: those aghast at the ludicrous spend on clothes the boys will surely grow out of in months, and those, like me, who wish we also had a direct line to Jonathan Anderson when our children need a special-occasion outfit. I kid, somewhat—and anyway, Rihanna was probably gifted the bespoke looks. But what fascinated me most about the debate over the boys' Dior was who took what side. The mothers in the chat? They were almost uniformly swooning over the tiny, double-breasted blazer and skinny pink tie. You'd think it would be the opposite—that being a parent would force you to confront how dangerous it is to put a child into white shorts (white anything, really); how many fruit snacks it would take to coax your newly mobile toddler into a jacket, wherever it came from. But I'll take the liberty of speaking for parents here: Yes, we are aware…but sometimes, we do it anyway. While Rihanna herself was similarly resplendent on that carpet, dressed in a Saint Laurent gown with an olive green sash, I'd venture to say that most parents I know plan their children's outfits with far more meticulous care than their own, even for major events. But why, you may ask, when kids barely fit into clothes for a season, and—perhaps more importantly—they are mostly oblivious to labels (unless it's the itchy kind)? For one thing, anyone who has given birth knows that in the post-partum months, none of your own clothes fit. Your breasts are swollen to one, two, maybe even three cup sizes larger than what you normally wear. Regardless of what kind of birth you've had, you're sore somewhere down there, which makes soft pants a necessity, not just a preference. And, most likely, there's just … more of you. I'll head criticism off at the pass: yes, birth is miraculous. Yes, my body can do wonderful things, like growing a human. But, Christ, it kind of sucks when you can't fit into your favorite pair of baggy jeans months and months after delivery. And so, you hunt for a modicum of control in this new life, one made up of nursing bras and shirts perma-stained with breastmilk. This is not the moment for debating whether to buy into low-rise jeans (again)—but does that mean you're forbidden from caring about fashion? That because you're now raising a child, you're required to pay attention only to the big stuff, like sleep schedules and skin-to-skin? New parents, please read this sentence more than once: You are allowed to dress your baby however you damn well please.

Scott Mills reveals Prince William and Kate Middleton made secret trip to Radio 1's Big Weekend festival: 'We had no idea'
Scott Mills has revealed Prince William and Kate Middleton made a secret trip to Radio 1's Big Weekend in 2010. The Prince and Princess of Wales turned up for the festival which was held in Bangor, North Wales that year to watch the likes of Rihanna, Paramore and Kesha perform. Speaking to Heat magazine, Scott said: 'I remeber them turning up to Radio 1's Big Weekend years ago in Bagor, North Wales. The bosses knew, but the rest of us had no idea for obvious security reasons. 'It was kept quiet, but they were watching Rihanna at the side of the stage. I like it that they got involved.' Scott has interviewed William and Kate in the past with the couple making an appearance on his Radio 1 show in 2017 tp speak about mental health. The presenter also revealed William was an avid Radio 1 listener at the time although he has since made the switch to Radio 2. 'He used to text in all the time - obviously not going, "Love HRH" - but he would text in and chip in with the conversation via Radio 1's normal contact number,' Scott said. It comes after Scott recently revealed he's finally 'financially secure' feels like he's 'made it' after landing Zoe Ball 's gig on BBC Radio 2. The DJ, 51, took over hosting the highly esteemed breakfast show on from Zoe, 54, in January. Speaking about his career, Scott told The Telegraph how he's finally learned to say 'no' to work after years of missing sleep for various gigs. He said: 'I still feel insecurity a little bit. 'I also think that's because I work in an industry where you don't signup thinking this is a job for life. Contracts can end, radio stations get taken over, and then they decide "we don't have a lot for you". That's happened to a lot of people I know. 'Through my 20s, 30s and even 40s, if I was offered work, I'd take it, sometimes at a risk to my health. 'I was working way too much, because my mindset was that you don't know when it might end.' Scott continued: 'There was one freshers' week where my schedule for playing in student unions was: Monday: Aberdeen, Tuesday: Glasgow, Wednesday: Edinburgh. 'I would do my show in London, fly to Scotland, do the gig around midnight, stay over with four hours sleep, fly back, do the show in London, repeat. 'I took every opportunity for 20 years and actually, I don't really want to any more. I enjoyed it, but life is different now.' After a career spanning three decades, Scott now finally believes he's 'made it', following his promotion by BBC bosses in January. He said: 'For the first time, I really do believe in myself. 'It's like, "you have to look at the facts. They've put you on the breakfast show, you must be doing something right".' Scott was previously reported to be taking a small pay rise for presenting the show, earning approximately £450,000 a year which is far below Zoe's £950,000. The dramatic pay difference comes as BBC bosses are under 'enormous pressure' to cut back on costs. Scott defended his salary and said he had been 'playing the long game' his whole life to reach this point. Zoe left the breakfast show to focus on family and admitted how she wouldn't miss the 4am wake up calls that come with anchoring the flagship slot. She said at the time: 'I've decided it's time to step away from the early alarm call and start a new chapter. 'We've shared a hell of a lot, the good times, the tough times, there's been a lot of laughter. And I am going to miss you cats.' The mum-of-one added: 'But I won't miss the 4am alarm call, if I'm completely honest.'

ASAP Rocky spotted in wheelchair in West Hollywood sparking concern over sudden condition
ASAP Rocky was seen in a wheelchair this week in West Hollywood, prompting a wave of concern and speculation from fans online. In photos published by TMZ, the rapper was captured being assisted into a yellow Hummer while partially covering his face with a blanket. He appeared visibly subdued, and the unusual appearance quickly went viral. Photo: Backgrid While no official statement has been made by Rocky or his representatives, TMZ has since reported that the artist was reportedly recovering from recent dental surgery. Despite this explanation, fans were caught off guard, especially considering his recent string of public appearances where he appeared healthy and upbeat. Just days before, Rocky had returned from Paris Fashion Week, where he presented his latest AWGE collection and attended Jonathan Anderson's Dior debut. Prior to that, he appeared alongside Rihanna at the Smurfs world premiere in Brussels. Rihanna, who voices Smurfette in the film, is currently expecting their third child following the birth of their sons in 2022 and 2023. The timing of the incident comes as Rocky continues to prepare for the release of his long-anticipated fourth album, Don't Be Dumb. Originally slated for release in August 2024, the project has been delayed, though several singles—such as 'Highjack,' 'Tailor Swif,' 'Ruby Rosary,' and 'Pray4DaGang'—have already been released.
