Simpler times: Kim Kardashian and Pete Davidson attend the 2022 Met Gala.
Welcome to Pop Tart, our weekly rundown of what’s hot in the pop culture world – from movies to memes and books to fresh looks.
Did you keep track?
Kar-Jenner momager Kris Jenner has been working overtime this weekend, with two big Kardashian bombshells dropping on the same day.
After a nine month love affair with tattoos and threats from an ex-husbandKim Kardashian and comedian-turned-professional boyfriend Pete Davidson have apparently stopped.
Amid the shock of how two people who seem to have nothing in common could potentially break up, another Kardashian report slipped into our news cycle: Khloe has welcomed her second baby.
Last month, Khloe announced she was expecting a second child via surrogate mother with basketball player Tristan Thompson, who has probably scored more cheating charges in his career than points at this point.
News from Thompson’s latest infidelity scandal broke up late last year after personal trainer Maralee Nichols gave birth to his third child while reportedly still dating Khloe.
The baby/breakup bombshell seemed to fall at the same time as the orchestration of Kris Jenner’s Kardashian Klan schedule, with Kim, like any good sister, taking the fall so Khloe can enjoy her time with her newborn.
Let’s all keep in mind that Kris Jenner has another card up his sleeve: Kylie Jenner’s baby boy name announcement.
To remind Kylie’s Instagram Press Release About Changing Her Second Child’s Name back in march? After two weddings, a new tv showa lawsuit of an ex-partnerfor a month drama about a historical dressand now a new baby and a breakup, you’d be forgiven for forgetting there was ever a… Wolf Webster in the family.
My crystal ball tells me that when we finally find out what this baby’s name is, we should also prepare for a divorce, lawsuit, cancellation, or all three.
Addison and Adidas
TikTok darling Addison Rae caused a stir after appearing in an Adidas x Praying ad in a Bikini of the holy trinitywith Father and Son plastered over her chest and Holy Ghost plastered… you can guess where.
The image is immediately confronted backlash from Christianswho claim the bikini is disrespectful to their religion and their outrage is overlooked.
Rae quickly deleted the photo, but as everyone knows, the internet never forgets a scandal.
Personally, I think we’re overlooking an even more pressing issue within the Rae family: Addison’s mother publicly flirting with rapper Yung Gravy on TikTok.
Please, Sheri, DMs exist for a reason!
Healing our collective internet trauma with BamaRush
If Dante were to write Inferno today, being trapped in an endless cycle of internet drama would surely be the punishment of the ninth circle of hell.
For extremely online and phone addicted people like me, it’s important to find ways to practice self-care so that a certain Twitter drama about nepotism, ability and war crimes or the revelation a celebrity we have a parasocial relationship with is killing the earth don’t send us over the edge.
While moving to a cottage in the woods and completely off-the-grid may be all that’s saving me right now, I’ve chosen not to put my phone down at all and instead turn to some form of entertainment where my critical thinking is put on the back burner: BamaRush Tok.
Never heard of it? Every year, thousands of undergraduate girls across America go through a “rush” or recruiting process to join a sorority.
Last year, the “promises” (new members) at the University of Alabama went viral on TikTok for their salubrious rural accents and dedication to college life, giving birth to the beginnings of BamaRush Tok.
Could you have ever imagined it would be so entertaining to watch Southern Belles wearing fake tans and brightly colored clothes as they try to fulfill their lifelong dream of joining a sorority? Me neither.
Of course there is much to be said about how these establishments were built by wealthy white families to ensure the success of their wealthy white descendants, but with everything else going on, please let me mindlessly enjoy this one thing, I beg you.
