Benny Blanco Announces Weight Loss After Only Eating Pizza

Reading Time: 2 minutes

How did Benny Blanco lose weight so quickly and so unconventionally?

Just shy of one year after he married Selena Gomez, he’s showing followers how “easy” it is to lose weight.

He shared a video montage in which he took followers through his week as he ate only one food.

That one food … was pizza?

How did Benny Blanco lose 4.7 pounds in one week?

In a recent TikTok video, the 38-year-old music producer — who is most famous for being married to the incomparable Selena Gomez — made an astonishing claim.

He alleged that people can lose weight “eating literally anything.”

Blanco even aimed to prove it, using himself as an example.

He stepped onto a scale, showing that he weights only 152.2 pounds. (There is some debate about Blanco’s exact height, but he is indisputably a short king.)

And his dietary strategy was … unconventional, to say the least.

@itsbennyblanco

can i lose weight if i only eat pizza?

♬ original sound – benny blanco

According to Blanco, he consumed only a large thin crust pizza from Domino’s each and every day.

(When most people do this diet, it is likely the result of poverty. Blanco did it to prove a point.)

The TikTok shows a montage of clips of him eating nothing but this meal.

Blanco’s devotion was so great that he took pizza with him on a date to the Sunset Tower Hotel.

(Please do not do this. Blanco can get away with it because he’s Selena Gomez’s husband.)

‘Nothing matters, do whatever you want’

By the third day of this experiment, Blanco was apparently tired of eating pizza.

“I hate my life,” he joked to the camera. We suspect that Blanco actually loves his extraordinarily fortunate life.

“I don’t even remember myself as a human being,” he joked on the fifth day. “Like, what was life before pizza?”

By the end, he has adjusted his attitude, as he feels “f–king good.” He also weighs 147.5 pounds.

“I just lost 4.7 pounds eating pizza,” Blanco declared to his followers. “Nothing matters, do whatever you want.”

Is Benny Blanco’s somewhat nihilistic approach to health a good lesson? Well … kind of. Maybe.

First of all, weight loss is not synonymous with health.

People trying extreme gimmick diets can endanger their lives by excluding key nutrition, even if they lose weight or reap other benefits. One week of pizza won’t do that, but still.

Second, and not to put too fine of a point on it, but it is normal and healthy for a person’s weight to fluctuate by pounds every single day.

A person can go up or down 4.7 pounds by being well hydrated and eating a big meal, or by being briefly dehydrated and having used the restroom.

Sydney Sweeney’s ‘Chemistry’ With Glen Powell Bothers Boyfriend Scooter …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Sydney Sweeney and Glen Powell had undeniable chemistry in Anyone But You.

In fact, fans were convinced that Sydney was cheating on her then-fiance with Powell.

And apparently, that chemistry may still be causing problems.

Sydney is reportedly in no rush to reunite with Powell on screen, despite the success of their 2023 romantic comedy.

According to a source, her boyfriend, Scooter Braun, is uncomfortable with the close bond she developed with Powell while making the movie.

And Powell apparently isn’t giving up on the idea of working with Sweeney again.

“Glen is persistently and consistently pinging Sydney and her team about finding a different project they could both work on,” an insider tells The National Enquirer.

The pair previously decided against making a sequel to Anyone But You, with the source saying they believed sequels are “extremely difficult to pull off.”

Still, Powell reportedly remains interested in finding another project that would reunite him with his former co-star.

Sweeney, however, doesn’t appear to be quite as eager.

The insider claimed the actress has little interest in immediately signing on for another project with Powell, with Braun’s feelings allegedly playing a role in that decision.

The source described Sweeney and Powell’s Anyone But You connection as “insane chemistry” and claimed Braun is uncomfortable with the idea of that dynamic playing out again.

Of course, there’s no indication that Sweeney and Powell ever had a romantic relationship off-screen.

Their chemistry became one of the biggest selling points of Anyone But You, which went on to become a major box-office success.

For now, it appears fans may have to settle for watching the pair’s chemistry in the original movie.

Unless Powell gets his way, that is.

Michael Douglas Divorced: His History of Marriage with Catherine Zeta-Jones Explained

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Michael Douglas has the history of marriage and divorce that you might expect from an A-list actor with a lengthy career.

Whether fans know him for his classic work decades ago or for his role as the cantankerous Hank Pym in the MCU, Michael Douglas is a Hollywood legend.

But the topic of his marital status has come into question more than once — and with good reason.

Hollywood marriages are complex subjects. But here’s his history, and where things stand today.

Who was Michael Douglas’ first marriage and divorce?

As we mentioned, Michael Douglas has been a prominent actor since before many of his fans were alive. As such, his relationship history goes back nearly as far.

In 1971, Michael Douglas began dating fellow actor Brenda Vaccaro, following the filming of Summertree.

That romance would go on to span six years of their lives.

However, he moved on, and his next serious relationship took on a more formal label.

On March of 1977, then-32-year-old Douglas married the daughter of an Austrian diplomat. Diandra Luker was 19 at the time.

During their relationship, they welcomed one child. Their son, Cameron, was born in 1978.

In 1995, after nearly 20 years together, Diandra filed to divorce Michael Douglas.

The settlement included a payout to her to the tune of $45 million.

Michael Douglas’ most famous relationship is with Catherine Zeta-Jones

In March of 1999, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones began dating.

They were both already immensely famous stars — and quickly made it clear that they were serious about each other.

On November 18 of 2000, Douglas and Zeta-Jones married.

They have welcomed two children. The pair had son Dylan Michael on August 8, 2000 and daughter Carys Zeta on April 20, 20003.

Despite their famous romance and two shared children, there have been bumps along the way.

Late in the summer of 2013, People reported that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were living separately.

In fact, the report alleges that the two had begun this informal separation — without filing for anything — in May of that year.

However, reports maintained that they were taking a break to make the marriage work.

By November, they had reportedly reconciled and were once again living together. By 2015, Douglas was characterizing their marriage to as “stronger than ever” while speaking to Ellen DeGeneres.

Did Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones divorce?

In October of 2023, RadarOnline claimed that Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were effectively divorced in all but name. Memorably, Zeta-Jones has expressed disgust over divorce and has no desire to do it.

“The marriage is over, but they don’t want to do the whole divorce and separation thing,” the insider alleged.

“So, they have this arrangement that’s working for them because nobody knows about it. They are definitely living separate lives.”

If Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones are really divorced in all but name, they’re doing a great job of hiding it.

As of early 2025, there was still no official buzz about any marital rift in the longtime Hollywood couple.

Catherine Sends a Birthday Message to the World

Interestingly, Michael and Catherine share a birthday.

And last year, Catherine marked the occasion by posting a nude photo on Instagram.

Many took it as her way of confirming that her marriage to Michael is still happy and healthy.

Whatever her intent, it reminded millions that Michael is a very lucky man!

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle: Returning to the UK for Tax, Immigration Reasons?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

This week, we heard the shocking news that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are moving back to the UK.

Immediately, people speculated that King Charles’ ailing health could be the reason.

However, those familiar with the ins and outs of British tax law for the wealthy have a new theory.

Was this whole excursion to the US a well-timed exploitation of a tax loophole? The calendar backs that up.

The five-year rule

According to The Royalist Substack, Harry and Meghan may be taking advantage

His Majesty’s Revenue and Customs (HMRC), which is a real organization and not a parody name making fun of the UK, has a rule designed to prevent wealthy Brits from skipping town for a couple of years, selling off assets, and returning untaxed.

Essentially, if you leave for just a few years and return, you still need to pay capital gains taxes as if you still had boots planted on some estate called Kingarthurshiremingham or whatever.

Harry and Meghan have now been non-residents for exactly 6 years. Which just so happens to be the required amount of time to be able to return and to have been considered actual non-residents during their absence.

If they’d tried to return a year ago, this would have been considered — by His Royal Majesty’s Royal Taxmen — to be a prolonged and controversial vacation to Montecito.

Could this be about Harry’s visa?

The Heritage Foundation is the bane of existence for millions of Americans. The malevolent think-tank has ruined lives and spends its time and money conjuring up new, sinister ways to ruin more.

Prince Harry has been one of the targets of this pernicious organization.

The group has been working long and hard to uncover any reason for which they might challenge his legal residency in the United States.

Most immigration politics is rooted in either irrational fears or white nationalism. (One could make a solid argument that white nationalism is also the product of irrational fears, but that is neither here nor there.)

In this case, one assumes that Harry is a target because he and Meghan are good people, which doesn’t tend to go over well with the Heritage Foundation or with the Trump regime.

What about Donald Trump?

Another popular theory is that Harry and Meghan are, understandably, fleeing from Donald Trump.

Most Americans cannot do so. Those who can already skipped town.

Donald Trump’s popularity is at an all-time low. It’s about at its minimum level — a level that probably wouldn’t sink if he devoured a live puppy on television.

It seems unlikely that Harry and Meghan would move here while he was still in power (remember, they fled the UK in 2020) only to leave when he might be about to lose control over congress.

We’d say that avoiding the Trump regime is a bonus to leaving the UK but is not, despite what our very own Magda Goebbels tweeted the other day, the primary impetus for their departure.

This is probably about one thing more than anything else

Yes, there’s an obscure tax loophole that most people would never have the wealth or lifestyle to care about. Yes, things in the United States have gotten dramatically worse over the past two years.

But Harry and Meghan could probably move to many places. It seems very likely that Canada, which some see as the US with better weather but tragically smaller restaurant portions, would take them.

Moving to the UK — a nest of vipers where, unlike in the US, many people actively hate Meghan Markle — seems like a deliberate choice.

Prince Harry probably wants to live close to his father before Charles’ well-documented cancer battle hastens his end.

If he gets some sort of arcane tax cut along the way, great. But it’s clearly not what this is about.

Kim Zolciak Says Son Is Not Guilty of Sexual Assault, Passed Polygraph Test

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As we previously reported, Kim Zolciak’s 15-year-old son has been arrested on sexual assault and sodomy charges.

Kroy “KJ” Jr., the 15-year-old son of the estranged couple, was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on Monday and charged with aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual assault, according to court records obtained by Us Weekly.

He is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center.

Many details about the alleged incident remain unclear, but KJ stands accused of assaulting a female victim at a gym in Alpharetta, Georgia.

On Friday afternoon, Kim issued a statement in which she maintained her son’s innocence.

“The allegations being made against my son are nothing short of reckless and deeply troubling,” she tells TMZ, adding:

“He categorically denies ever being involved with this woman or engaging in the conduct she has alleged.”

Kim says her son “voluntarily took a polygraph examination regarding these allegations and passed.”

She claims that the alleged victim made “similar allegations involving two other people, which raises serious concerns that deserve to be carefully examined.”

She adds that false allegations can have “devastating consequences,” adding that “every legitimate allegation deserves to be taken seriously and investigated based on the facts and evidence.”

The arrest comes as the Bravo star Zolciak and Biermann, a former NFL player, continue to navigate their contentious divorce and custody battle.

The former couple married in 2011, the same year KJ was born.

They went on to welcome son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane, while Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two older daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship.

After more than a decade of marriage, Zolciak and Biermann filed for divorce in 2023. Their split has been anything but amicable, with both reality stars making accusations about one another during the ongoing legal proceedings.

Biermann previously sought sole custody of the couple’s minor children and accused Zolciak of neglect, claiming she was “unfit and unstable” to parent them.

Zolciak vehemently denied those allegations at the time.

Kroy has yet to publicly respond to the allegations against his son.

We will have further updates on this developing story as new information becomes available.

Hayden Panettiere Was Involved In ‘Love Triangle’ With Boyfriend’s …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

The tragic death of Hayden Panettiere has led to widespread scrutiny about her tumultuous relationship with Brian Hickerson.

Hickerson was arrested for assaulting Panettiere on two separate occasions. He pleaded no contest to felony charges involving Panettiere in 2021.

Though both parties claimed that they had broken up, but Hayden was with Brian and his brother, Zach Hickerson, at the time of her death.

Now, a new report claims that Hayden and Zach once had an affair.

According to Radar Online, the two were romantically linked while Brian was behind bars following his 2020 arrest for allegedly assaulting the actress. The alleged relationship added another layer to an already complicated situation involving the Heroes star and the Hickerson family.

Now, years later, both brothers were reportedly with Panettiere when she suffered a fatal medical emergency.

Panettiere was found unresponsive at an apartment in Greenville, South Carolina, on August 16.

According to a police report obtained by multiple outlets, Brian and Zach were at the residence when emergency responders arrived. Paramedics attempted to revive the actress, but she was pronounced dead at the scene.

The circumstances surrounding Panettiere’s death remain under investigation.

An autopsy reportedly found no signs of trauma, and authorities have said there is currently no evidence of foul play. Toxicology results are still pending, meaning an official cause of death has not yet been determined.

Panettiere’s relationship with Brian had been notoriously turbulent.

The couple began dating in 2018, and their romance was marred by multiple domestic violence incidents. Brian was arrested in 2020 after an alleged altercation involving Hayden and was placed under a five-year protective order.

Despite their troubled history, Hayden and Brian remained connected over the years.

The actress had previously spoken publicly about their relationship and her decision to forgive him, while also describing the abuse she endured.

She later discussed their complicated history in her memoir, This Is Me: A Reckoning.

The revelation about Zach adds another stunning chapter to Panettiere’s relationship history — particularly given that both brothers were reportedly present during the actress’ final moments.

Brian’s attorney has urged people not to speculate about Panettiere’s death while authorities continue their investigation.

For now, many questions surrounding the actress’ final days remain unanswered.

Kim Zolciak’s 15-Year-Old Son Arrested on Sodomy, Sexual Assault Charges

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s teenage son is facing serious legal trouble.

Kroy “KJ” Jr., the 15-year-old son of the estranged couple, was arrested in Alpharetta, Georgia, on Monday and charged with aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual assault, according to court records obtained by Us Weekly.

KJ is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center.

A judge did not set bond in the case, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for September 8.

The allegations stem from an incident reported to authorities earlier this year.

According to court documents, a female classmate alleged that an encounter involving KJ occurred at a gym in Alpharetta in April. The girl and her father later contacted police, prompting an investigation into the allegations.

Authorities reportedly began investigating the case after the alleged victim sought medical attention. Police subsequently reviewed surveillance footage from the gym as part of their investigation.

The arrest comes as Bravo star Zolciak and Biermann, a former NFL player, continue to navigate their contentious divorce and custody battle.

The former couple married in 2011, the same year KJ was born.

They went on to welcome son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane, while Biermann also adopted Zolciak’s two older daughters, Ariana and Brielle, from a previous relationship.

“These accusations are completely false and nothing more than a deliberate attempt by Kroy to defame my character,” she told Us Weekly in March.

She added that she had spent five weeks away working on two television shows “to support my family and make sure my children are cared for.”

The latest development marks a deeply serious turn in the family’s already turbulent situation.

Neither Zolciak nor Biermann has publicly commented on KJ’s arrest. The allegations against their son remain allegations, and the case is ongoing.
