Pinkchyu: ‘Goth Baddie’ Who Made Drake Bark Says He’s Buying Her Mom a …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We guess she really made an impression on the man!

As we previously reported, Drake hosted his own version of The Bachelor over the weekend: a livestream in which 20 women competed for his attention.

And one lucky contestant walked away with a life-changing prize.

Yes, the big winner was a Canadian “goth” influencer who now says that Drizzy is making good on his promise to buy her mom a house.

The model, who goes by the name Pinkchyu, opened up about the arrangement in a new interview with TMZ.

“I think she’s just really grateful,” she said of her mother. Pinkchyu added that this will not be the first time that she’s used her online clout (she has more than 2.6 million Instagram followers) to help her loved ones.

“I do [Only Fans]. And with a lot of the money I have, I do take care of my family,” she said.

The interviewer then explained that Drake told Pinkchyu that she could send him any listing, and he would buy it.

“That’s what he said,” she confirmed.

“I just remember you from Degrassi,” she said, referring to the Canadian teen soap opera where Drizzy got his start.

“I know some of his popular songs and stuff, but that’s where I knew him was watching Degrassi. I listen to goth music and metal … We’re complete opposites,” she added.

Asked if she and Drake hooked up, Pinkchyu was adamant that they merely had some good “conversations.”

“I don’t know how I got here; I’m just so grateful,” she added. And Pinkchyu wasn’t the only contestant who benefited from Drizzy’s generosity.

At one point during the livestream, Drake was presented with a “hall pass” from adult film star Lena the Plug.

Now, despite recent rumors that Lena had filed for divorce from husband Adam22, the podcasting duo is still very much married.

Lena and Adam are not monogamous (after all, they both work in the adult industry), but they say that their relationship still has rules.

Those rules seem to go out the window when it comes to Drake, however.

Within minutes of meeting the Ice Man, Lena had chucked off her wedding ring and presented him with a hall pass signed by her husband.

She didn’t wind up winning a date with Drake, but Lena did score $25,000 and a trip to New Zealand. Needless to say, it was a pretty weird event for all involved.

Victoria Gotti’s Son Ordered to Prison After No Kidney Transplant: ‘Clearly, …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We previously reported on how Victoria Gotti begged the court to keep her son out of prison.

Carmine Agnello, reality TV personality and grandson of deceased mob boss John Gotti, was her kidney donor.

The courts were lenient at first, allowing him to postpone his incarceration for his mother’s sake.

But the transplant never happened. The transplant was never even scheduled. And now, Agnello is behind bars.

‘The request for another deferral of Mr. Agnello’s self-surrender is unjustified’

The Associated Press reports that on Monday, August 10, Carmine Agnello finally began serving his 15-month prison term.

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed this news the following day.

Agnello is currently incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Institution Fairton (FCI Fairton) in New Jersey.

Originally, he would have begun serving his sentence in July.

The courts had previously allowed him to hold off — until they ran out of patience, trust, or both.

US District Court Judge Nusrat Choudhury had previously agreed to delay Agnello’s incarceration until September 18 — over a month from now.

That would, in theory, have given him enough time to undergo the transplant and then to recover from teh surgery.

Only if the surgery had taken place by August 10.

Victoria suffers from chronic kidney disease. The idea of her son offering her one of his kidneys was heartwarming to many.

On Monday, the judge issued an update: “Because there is no concrete evidence that an organ transplant will be scheduled to take place at any time between today and Sept. 18, 2026, the request for another deferral of Mr. Agnello’s self-surrender is unjustified.”

‘Clearly, the transplant surgery is not imminent’

“It is undisputed that Carmine is a great match for Ms. Gotti,” Agnello’s attorney argued on Monday.

“He is simply asking the Court to allow him to remain available to his mother during this very limited period,” he insisted.

Agnello wanted to remain free “while her doctors determine whether and when she can proceed with transplant.”

Prosecutors noted that the doctor’s notes indicated that they were still treating Gotti’s infections. No transplant could take place until that health issue was resolved.

“Clearly, the transplant surgery is not imminent,” argued the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York, Joseph Nocella. Clearly, the court agreed.

Victoria Gotti and Carmine Agnello both became reality TV personalities as they appeared on Growing Up Gotti.

The reality series, truly a product of its time, capitalized upon Ms. Gotti’s status at the daughter of an infamous crime boss.

Agnello pleaded guilty in 2024 to wire fraud in connection with a scheme in which he obtained $1.1 million in COVID-related small business loans.

In addition to his 15-month sentence, he must repay the money that he fraudulently obtained, perform 100 hours of community service, and be under supervised release for a period of two years.

Perhaps the court will allow him to donate his kidney during his incarceration. But it appears that the window during which he could recover from such a surgery at home has now closed.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Broke Up With Fiance Before Freezing Eggs

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Riley Roberts have gone their separate ways!

The New York congresswoman and her longtime partner quietly ended their relationship and called off their engagement, according to reports from multiple outlets.

The news comes as Ocasio-Cortez has been publicly documenting her decision to freeze her eggs, prompting renewed interest in her personal life.

According to TMZ, the couple actually split roughly two years ago.

Puck’s Chief Washington Correspondent Leigh Ann Caldwell was the first to report that Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts had ended their engagement.

Multiple sources on Capitol Hill told TMZ that it had been a long time since the pair were seen together publicly.

In fact, their last widely photographed appearance together came at the 2021 Met Gala. Ocasio-Cortez later confirmed in May 2022 that she and Roberts were engaged.

The exact timing of their breakup remains unclear.

Ocasio-Cortez and Roberts had been together for years before taking their relationship to the next level. Their engagement was publicly known for several years, but the couple never made it to the altar.

Roberts has generally maintained a much lower profile than his famous partner. Ocasio-Cortez has also kept much of their relationship out of the public eye.

That privacy has made the revelation of their split something of a surprise to many fans and political observers.

The breakup also comes into focus because of Ocasio-Cortez’s recent decision to preserve her fertility. The congresswoman has shared videos detailing her experience with the egg-freezing process, which she described as “very daunting.”

Roberts was notably absent from her discussion of the process.

Ocasio-Cortez has spoken about receiving support from people close to her throughout the experience, but she has not publicly addressed the status of her relationship with Roberts.

A representative for Ocasio-Cortez had no comment when contacted by TMZ.

For now, it appears the longtime couple’s relationship ended well before the news became public, leaving Ocasio-Cortez to navigate a new chapter of her personal life while continuing to command plenty of attention on the political stage.

Many in DC believe that AOC will throw her hat into the presidential in 2028. And shw might wind up doing so without a potential first gentleman.

Joseph Duggar & Kendra Caldwell: Off the Hook for Child Endangerment Charges?

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Could Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell get away without punishment for their Arkansas charges?

Earlier this week, the embattled couple withdrew their not guilty pleas on charges of child endangerment and false imprisonment.

Now, it’s looking like they’re going to be able to weasel out of the charges altogether — if they follow court orders.

They also need to avoid any further trouble with the law. It’s unclear if Joseph can manage that.

Will the charges be dropped entirely?

The Ashley obtained court documents showing that the Arkansas judge signed a Diversion Order for Joseph and Kendra.

This means that the case will be postponed for one year, which will be considered an Advisement Period.

During this time, the disgraced former reality stars will essentially be on a sort of pre-probation.

They will have to comply with all of the terms of the court order.

Pending their full cooperation, the judge has agreed to drop the charges against them after one year.

“Defendant must not commit any new criminal offenses and must maintain good behavior during the Advisement Period,” the judge’s instructions read.

“If the Defendant completes the terms of this Order, during the Advisement Period, the State agrees to dismiss all charges in this case,” the court adds.

In addition to complying with the court’s instructions, Joe and Kendra must each pay $1,850 in fees before the Advisement Period ends.

They also must avoid further trouble. Well, more than Joseph is already in.

In the mean time, Kendra is allowed to see her children. It sounds like Joseph is still restricted to supervised contact only, which makes a lot of sense, given the charges that he’s facing in Florida.

The public remains largely in the dark

As far as the Arkansas case goes, there is still something of a shroud of mystery surrounding the charges.

It’s not that any reasonable person believed that Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell were good parents. They are members of an abusive cult, after all. It takes a lot of education and deprogramming to be a good parent after a life like that.

What we know is that both parents were charged with four counts (each) of child endangerment and of false imprisonment in the second degree.

There was a report immediately after Kendra’s arrest, claiming that investigators — who automatically searched the home after Joseph’s arrest — discovered that the children’s bedroom doors locked from the outside, like prison cells.

That’s alarming all by itself. But given that the source was close to the Duggars, it’s unclear if that is the whole truth.

None of this touches upon Joseph Duggar’s charges in Florida.

He allegedly molested a 9-year-old girl in Florida back in 2020 during a bizarre vacation in the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Though Joseph reportedly confessed twice, including to police, he entered a plea of not guilty and seems prepared to drag that poor girl into a full trial.

It would be nice if Kendra learns from this, follows Arkansas department of Human Services advice, and perhaps becomes a good parent despite her membership in a toxic cult.

However, given the way that she’s clinging to her husband and the Duggars and seemingly cutting off contact with her family following Joe’s arrest, we won’t hold our breath.

We will, as always, feel deep pity for the Duggar children. A responsible society would never condemn them to be raised in those households.

Brad Pitt Was Spotted Drinking at Taylor Swift’s Wedding Before Confessing That …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

On Monday, we reported on the news that Brad Pitt had started drinking again after seven years of sobriety.

The Oscar winner made the surprising confession during an interview with Esquire.

But it seems that the cat was out of the bag well before that, as Brad reportedly made no effort to conceal his booze consumption at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

According to a new report from Page Six, guests were “shocked” to see Brad drinking at the event, as he’s spoken publicly about his sobriety on several occasions.

Though he never detailed his reasons for getting clean, it’s been widely assumed that Pitt’s divorce from Angelina Jolie — and the allegation that he behaved abusively while drunk — played a major role.

The divorce continues to make headlines a decade later, as the A-listers are still battling over shared assets, including the French vineyard and winery they co-own.

News that Pitt is drinking again comes on the heels of a tumultuous few months in which all of Brad and Angelina’s children dropped his last name.

“I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” he confessed in the interview. “In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, ‘Yep, nope, not good for me.’ Not in big quantities.”

Pitt explained he “can have a few” glasses of wine, but he “can’t have a lot.”

“I have to be professional about it,” he said.

 Pitt first spoke publicly about his sobriety in a 2019 New York Times interview.

“I had taken things as far as I could take it, so I removed my drinking privilege,” he said at the time.

In 2020, Pitt publicly thanked Bradley Cooper for helping him quit drinking, and he spoke about his sobriety journey on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast just last summer.

So the news that Pitt is drinking again came as a surprise to many. And his comments have led to widespread debate about exactly when he tumbled off the wagon.

It was widely assumed that he got sober amid his divorce, but Brad says he was only clean for seven years. So does that mean he’s been back on the sauce since 2023?

We may never know for sure. But it sounds like he had no qualms about toasting to Taylor and Travis last month!

Enes Kanter Freedom: Former NBA Star Announces Plan to Enter WNBA Draft

Reading Time: 2 minutes

You know those kids’ movies where a referee says something like “There’s nothing in the rule book that says a dog can’t play basketball!”?

Well, former Boston Celtic Enes Kanter Freedom is now using that mentality to troll the world of women’s sports.

Yes, the first round pick-turned-professional edgelord has officially declared his eligibility for the 2027 WNBA draft.

Kanter has submitted a letter to the league declaring following through on a promise he made last week amid the ongoing debate over transgender athletes and women’s sports.

“Please accept this formal document as my official written notification to the Women’s National Basketball Association of my voluntary decision to enter the player pool for the 2027 WNBA Draft,” reads a letter Kanter made public today.

Freedom shared a copy of the letter on social media, adding a simple message alongside it: “rules are rules!”

Yes, he’s certainly committed to the bit.

In the letter, Freedom cited the league’s collective bargaining agreement, stating that he meets the age requirement and has no remaining collegiate eligibility.

He also asked the league office to confirm receipt of his paperwork and process his registration for the draft.

So, yes, this is officially a thing.

The move comes just days after Freedom and former NBA player Royce White announced their intentions to enter the 2027 WNBA Draft.

Both men have framed their decisions as a response to the WNBA’s handling of the increasingly heated debate surrounding transgender participation in women’s sports.

The controversy intensified after Indiana Fever guard Sophie Cunningham spoke publicly about her belief that biological differences should be considered when it comes to women’s sports.

“I got a lot of negative feedback about me hating trans. And I’m like, ‘I never once said that,'” Cunningham said last month.

She added that she wanted to “protect young girls in a locker room, or young girls in sport who shouldn’t have to go against biological men.”

Cunningham’s comments sparked considerable backlash, as well as support, and the issue quickly became much bigger than one player’s remarks.

Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve subsequently wore a “Trans kids belong” shirt during a game against Cunningham’s Indiana Fever.

The WNBA Players Association has also addressed the controversy, emphasizing its commitment to inclusion while saying it represents players with different backgrounds, experiences and opinions.

“Hate, abuse, and demonization of any person or group of people, including transgender people, only fuel fear, division, and harm,” the WNBPA said in a statement.

Freedom has now inserted himself directly into that conversation.

He hasn’t played in the NBA since 2022, but he’s certainly found a new way to remain part of the basketball conversation.

And now the WNBA has an official piece of paperwork to deal with.

It remains to be seen whether Freedom’s name will actually appear among the selections at the 2027 WNBA Draft. But he’s certainly found a new way to cling to relevance.

Brad Pitt Reveals That He’s Drinking Again After 7 Years of Sobriety

Reading Time: 2 minutes

In 2016, Angelina Jolie filed for divorce from Brad Pitt after alleging that he engaged in violent and abusive behavior while he was drunk aboard a private jet.

Pitt quit drinking shortly thereafter. The effort came too late to save his marriage, but in interviews that touched on the matter, the Oscar winner was adamant that he was grateful to be sober.

So Pitt’s revelation that he’s now “off the wagon” after seven years of sobriety has come as a shock to many fans.

In a profile published by Esquire today, interviewer Ryan D’Agostino notes that Pitt offered him wine and then asks the actor-pp if he keeps a bottle on hand for the benefit of his guests.

“No, I got — I was sober for seven years. And then I got back off the wagon,” Brad clarifies with a “little laugh,” adding:

“In a more restrained manner. I got overconfident a couple times, went, Yep, nope, not good for me. Not in big quantities.”

“You can have a glass of wine,” D’Agostino ventures, leading Pitt to remark:

“Yeah. Well . . . I can have a few. But I can’t have a lot. I have to be professional about it.”

The revelation comes as a surprise, as Pitt publicly thanked Bradley Cooper for helping him get sober while speaking at a 2020 award ceremony.

And he opened up about the joys of a booze-free existence as recently as June of 2025, when he discussed his sobriety journey on Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast.

News of his relapse (or whatever you wish to call it) comes on the heels of reports that all of Brad’s kids have legally dropped “Pitt” from their names.

Brad and Angelina’s divorce has been one of the messiest in Hollywood history, with insiders claiming that Pitt blames Jolie for “alienating” his children from him.

At one point in the Esquire interview, Pitt referred to a period in which he felt such intense pain that he could imagine viewing death as a relief.

Whet D’Agostino asked if he was referring to the situation with his children, Pitt demurred, saying:

“Family stuff. We could leave it at that.”

“This s–t ain’t easy,” Pitt added, noting that in most areas of his life, he’s “won the lottery.”
