Random Celebrity News

For some values of "random", "celebrity" and "news". At Da Mail, Dame Joan Collins, 90, leaves fans in disbelief as as she showcases her youthful looks on stage at the Emmys: 'What kind of vampire diet is she on?'

The 90-year-old graced the stage alongside Taraji P. Henson as the two presented the award for Outstanding Limited or Anthology series. The actress put on a glamorous display as she dazzled in a pale blue gown emblazoned with sequins which she teamed with a pair of matching opera gloves. She completed her showstopping ensemble with sparkling diamond jewellery and a slick of classic pillar box red lipstick. Showcasing her youthful complexions, fans went wild as they headed to Twitter to express their disbelief at the star's age.

 

One wrote: 'Dame Joan Collins is 90 years old and still poppin’!' and a second penned: 'I would like everyone to know that Joan Collins is literally 90 years old. that’s a diva.'

A third added: 'Joan Collins looks ridiculous for 90 years old' while a fourth chimed: 'I don’t understand how Joan Collins is 90 years old. Queen.'

Another joked: 'Dame Joan Collins serving at 90 years old' as someone replied: 'Living up to her name and legacy'.

Another teased: 'Ok what kind of vampire diet is Joan Collins on? Girlfriend is 90!'

At 90, just getting up is an accomplishment. In an editorial at Da Caller, Robert McGreevy wonders Is Taylor Swift Driving A Wedge Between Travis Kelce And Former Teammates? Signs Say Maybe.

Former Kansas City Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill on Thursday lobbed some hefty accusations at his one-time teammate Travis Kelce claiming the superstar tight end is “too famous” to return his texts now that he’s dating Taylor Swift.

“I texted Kelce, he still hasn’t texted me back,” Hill told reporters Thursday, according to the New York Post. “He’s probably still on his Taylor Swift thing… but yeah man, those guys are too famous for me now, I guess.” (RELATED: Normally Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Annoy The Living Hell Out Of Me, But This Outright Adorable Story Is Too Great)

Hill’s “those guys” included superstar Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, who Hill claims he hasn’t spoken to since the Chiefs beat Hill’s Miami Dolphins, or as Hill puts it, “since they beat our ass” in early November. Hill was likely joking, as he’s previously mentioned that he’s steering clear of commenting on Kwift (Swelce?) for fear of the Swiftie’s retribution.

Still, he brings up a good point. Is Kelce’s newfound stardom getting the best of him? His agents certainly seem to think so.

Kirsten Fleming at NYPo opines  Men defending Taylor Swift from Tony Dungy’s ‘disenchanting’ comment is peak #GirlDad culture

Last week, the great Super Bowl-winning player and coach Tony Dungy detonated a nuclear bomb when he weighed in on the fanfare surrounding Taylor Swift and her relationship with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now,” Dungy told Fox News. “There’s so much on the outside coming in. Entertainment value and different things that’s taking away from what really happens on the field.”

Suddenly the former coach — whose words were rather anodyne — was projectile-bombed with a season’s worth of frustration from Swifties who view every slight criticism of their queen as chauvinistic.

Even the sports establishment, including ESPN personality Stephen A. Smith (“It’s getting ridiculous how she’s being criticized by some, insulted by others, blamed by many”), had rejoinders for Dungy.

I disagree with Dungy.

Not because what he said is misogynistic, but because the league’s collision with the world of entertainment had already been activated before Swift entered her NFL era: Look at the players embracing high fashion, at the attention paid to WAGS, at the intimate private lives revealed in the Netflix series “Quarterbacks.”

I'm trying to care, but my give-a-damn is busted.  You do what you want, kids, and ignore the nay sayers.
