BREAKING NEWS Mindy Kaling's rumored baby daddy BJ Novak, 45, has a 'new girlfriend' who is 17 years younger
Mindy Kaling 's good friend BJ Novak, 45, has a new girlfriend. On Monday People reported that he has been spending time with a pretty brunette TikTok star. She is Idaho native Delaney Rowe, 28. In November they were snapped together at The Official How Long Gone After Party at The Standard in New York City. In December 2024 there was talk that the two might be seeing each other after they were spotted together at the Bowery Hotel in New York City, according to Deuxmoi. For years it has been speculated that he is still dating his The Office costar Kaling and they have welcomed children together. The pair dated on and off from 2004 to 2007, and although they have publicly insisted their bond is now platonic, rumors have been swirling about their equation for years. The pair have remained friends since they met while working on The Office in 2004. In 2017, Novak became her daughter's godfather. They have appeared at multiple public events together since their split, igniting speculation that their relationship might be more than just amicable. Their Office characters Kelly and Ryan had a complicated relationship on-screen, and by the series finale, the two characters were back together. At the 2022 Emmy Awards, the pair poked fun at their 'insanely complicated relationship' while co-presenting the award for writing for a limited or anthology series or movie. When she received her star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame, Mindy - who has not publicly named the father of any of her three children - made headlines by describing BJ as an 'important and integral' part of her family. However, amid the renewed surge of conjecture, Mindy, 45, posed solo on the red carpet outside Hollywood's famed Dolby Theatre on Oscar night. But they were seen together at the Vanity Fair Oscar party. Mindy is mother to Katherine, seven, Spencer, four, and Anne, one, but has been assiduously private about who fathered her children. Kaling secretly had her third child in February 2024. The Mindy Project actress, who previously had her son Spencer, four, without telling fans she was pregnant, chose her 45th birthday to announce she was a mother again. She captioned an Instagram post that featured photos of her new arrival – a girl called Anne – with her siblings Katherine, six, and Spencer: 'She's the best birthday present I could've ever imagined. 'When things are hard, whenever I veer towards cynicism, my three kids are such a great reminder of the pure joy in my life.' 'I'm so lucky I live in a place where I could do this by myself, on my own timeline. Thanks for all the birthday wishes!' Mindy included a throwback snap of her baby bump with the post. In 2020, the comic and actress announced on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert' she had given birth to Spencer without ever letting the public know she had been pregnant. She said: 'I'm telling it for the first time now… I gave birth to a baby boy on 3 September.' Mindy has never disclosed the father of her children, and left the box for the father's name on Katherine's birth certificate blank.

(AP Photo/Lois Bernstein, File) HOUSTON (AP) — Family, friends and the public are preparing to remember boxing legend, pastor and entrepreneur George Foreman during a memorial service in his hometown of Houston. George Foreman IV, one of five sons of the boxing legend, along with Houston Mayor John Whitmire and former boxer Michael Moorer, who Foreman defeated in 1994 to become the oldest man at age 45 to win the heavyweight championship, are expected to speak at the service Monday. Advertisement The service will be hosted by Foreman's family and the city of Houston at the Wortham Theater Center, a performing arts center that is home to the city's ballet and opera companies. 'We're going to celebrate the life of George Foreman, two-time heavyweight champion of the world and certainly the face of how great Houston is,' Whitmire said. Foreman died on March 21 at age 76. Foreman's family has not disclosed his cause of death, only saying on social media that he 'peacefully departed … surrounded by loved ones.' Born in Marshall, Texas, Foreman was raised in Houston's Fifth Ward, one of the city's historically Black neighborhoods. Advertisement He began his boxing career as an Olympic gold medalist in 1968, turning pro the next year. Foreman became the heavyweight champion of the world when he beat Joe Frazier in 1973. But he lost the title the following year when Muhammad Ali beat Foreman in the famous 'Rumble in the Jungle' fight in Zaire. Foreman then gave up boxing and after a religious awakening, became an ordained minister in 1978. He began preaching in Houston, later founding The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in 1980. The middle-aged fighter returned to the ring after a 10-year absence and in 1994 pulled off one of the most spectacular knockouts in boxing history, flooring Moorer — 19 years his junior — with a surgical right hand to claim Moorer's two heavyweight belts. Advertisement Foreman retired in 1997 with a 76-5 career record. He then moved to the next chapter in his life as a businessman, pitchman and occasional actor. He became known to a new generation as the face of the George Foreman Grill. The simple cooking machine sold more than 100 million units and brought him more wealth than boxing. A biographical movie based on his life was released in 2023. Foreman had 12 children, including five sons who are all famously named George Edward Foreman. ___ Follow Juan A.

Monica Lewinsky leaves Clinton scandal in dust, joins Hollywood elite with bold new look, business venture
Monica Lewinsky has been welcomed with open arms by the Hollywood elite decades after her affair scandal with then President Bill Clinton in the '90s. Lewinsky, who has been in the public eye since 2017, attended George Clooney's star-studded Broadway premiere of "Good Night, and Good Luck" in New York City on April 3. While smiling for pictures before the event, Lewinsky wore a strapless, asymmetrical black gown that had ruffle detailing at the bottom. She paired her look with black heels and styled her hair down. Several A-listers attended Clooney's big Broadway premiere. Cindy Crawford attended the show with her husband, Rande Gerber, and daughter Kaia. Hugh Jackman, Uma Thurman, Jennifer Lopez and Julianna Margulies were also photographed at the event. Nearly three decades ago, Lewinsky, who was a former White House intern while Clinton was president, had an affair with the former president. Clinton subsequently had an impeachment trial that came about in December 1998. The president was 49 at the time of the incident. Lewinsky was 22. Following the scandal, Clinton was acquitted. After a few public appearances in an attempt to reinvent herself, Lewinsky disappeared from the spotlight in the mid-2000s. In 2017, Lewinsky emerged back into the limelight and began writing for Vanity Fair. Now, according to its website, she is a contributing editor. "She is an anti-bullying social activist, global public speaker, and producer with her company, Alt Ending Productions," the outlet states. Her latest story for the outlet was on March 31, and before that was an article published before the 2024 presidential election. In January, Lewinsky launched her own podcast, "Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky." The synopsis of her show states, "Every week, I'll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves." Since launching, Lewinsky has had Olivia Munn, "Wicked" director Jon M. Chu and Tony Hawk on her podcast. At the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party, Lewinsky posed with Munn and her husband, John Mulaney, for a photo. A month after launching her own podcast, Lewinsky was a guest on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast, which was then topping the charts. During the appearance in February, podcast host Alex Cooper asked Lewinsky how she thought the media should have covered her scandal in the '90s. "I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would have been to probably say it was nobody's business and to resign, or to find a way of staying in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus," Lewinsky said. Beyond her own life falling apart, Lewinsky explained how her scandal affected women everywhere. "I think there was so much collateral damage for women of my generation to watch a young woman be pilloried on a world stage, to be torn apart for my sexuality, for my mistakes, for my everything," Lewinsky said. "I think there was so much collateral damage for women of my generation to watch a young woman be pilloried on a world stage, to be torn apart for my sexuality, for my mistakes, for my everything." In 2021, Lewinsky told People magazine that she has found the courage to examine what occurred "between the most powerful man in the world and an unpaid intern less than half his age." "For me, at 22, there was this combination of the awe of being at the White House, the awe of the presidency and the awe of this man who had an amazing energy and charisma was paying attention to me," she explained. "I was enamored with him, like many others. He had a charisma to him, and it was a lethal charm, and I was intoxicated." "I think there are a lot of people who might find themselves in these situations," she continued. "It might be a professor or a boss, your immediate supervisor at your job. We think we're on his terra firma in our early 20s, and yet we're really on this quicksand. [You think], I'm an adult now. It didn't matter that I couldn't get a rental car without a parental signature." At the time, Lewinsky was a producer of "15 Minutes of Shame" on HBO Max, which explored cancel culture. Lewinsky insisted she no longer needed an apology from Clinton. "If I had been asked five years ago, there would have been a part of me that needed something, that still wanted something," she said. "Not any kind of relationship, but a sense of closure or maybe understanding. And I feel incredibly grateful not to need any of that." Lewinsky told the outlet at the time that she hoped her story would spark discussion about the dynamics between men in power and those without it. "As we all came to see, it wasn't just about losing a job but about the power to be believed, the power to be inoculated from the press, the power to have others smear someone's reputation in all the ways that work, the power to understand consequence having held many important jobs where this was my first out of college," she said.

Brandon Sklenar Addresses Wearing Same Pin as 'It Ends With Us' Director Justin Baldoni
Did Brandon Sklenar wear the same floral pin as his 'It Ends With Us' director and co-star Justin Baldoni on purpose? He's setting the record straight. When Sklenar showed up at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar party, Internet sleuths noticed he was wearing a pink, floral brooch that appeared to match the one Baldoni sported at the 'It Ends With Us' premiere in New York back in August of last year. Amid the ongoing legal dispute between Baldoni and actress Blake Lively, observers speculated about what message Sklenar was trying to send by wearing the accessory.

Hannah Berner apologizes to Megan Thee Stallion for controversial interview comment
Hannah Berner has publicly apologized to Megan Thee Stallion after facing intense criticism for a comment she made during a red carpet interview at the Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty. The comedian and podcaster told the rapper that she listens to her music when she wants to "fight someone," prompting immediate backlash from fans who called the remark inappropriate and microaggressive. Berner, 33, took to her Instagram Story on Thursday to address the controversy, stating, "Interviewing Megan Thee Stallion was a dream of mine. I love her music, and it's my go-to whenever I need to boost my confidence before a show." She acknowledged that her word choice was poor, adding, "Looking back at the interview, I wish I used any other word except 'fight' to describe how her songs impact me. It was a careless choice of words, and though there was no ill intent, I recognize and acknowledge that what I said has a deeper meaning, and I am so sorry to Megan." Photo: Hannah Berner Instagram story During the interview, Berner and her "Giggly Squad" co-host Paige DeSorbo praised Megan for her confidence before Berner made the now-controversial comment. The "Savage" rapper swiftly pivoted the conversation, responding, "You want to throw that fighting s--t out the window. You want to get cute and be a bad b---h." Despite the immediate subject change, Berner reiterated her stance, doubling down on the idea that Megan's music fuels aggression. This led to a wave of social media backlash, with users pointing out Megan's history as a survivor of domestic violence, particularly referencing her 2020 shooting incident involving Tory Lanez. Fans flooded Berner's TikTok and Instagram, calling her out for perpetuating harmful stereotypes. Comments included, "Why does Megan Thee Stallion's music make you want to fight? She doesn't rap about violence," and "Girl, you seriously owe Meg an apology. The stereotyping was seriously wrong." As of now, Megan Thee Stallion has not publicly responded to Berner's apology, and Vanity Fair has yet to release a statement regarding the interview.
