Ray J Claims to Have Slept With 12,500 Women

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Move over, Wilt Chamberlain!

There’s a new champion of male promiscuity, and his name is Ray J!

Yes, Wilt famously claimed to have slept with more than 10,000 women, but Ray says he’s thoroughly slutmogged the NBA legend.

The revelation that the R&B singer is the new King of Conquests came during a recent interview on Cam Newton’s podcast.

At one point, Ray J revealed that a strip club hosted a party to celebrate his 10,000th hookup.

“We did a celebration, Booby Trap celebrated my 10,000th,” he claimed (via Page Six). “I had about 400 or 500 girls that I f–ked with, came through, supported, it was a massive parade.”

The R&B singer, now 45, admits that he’s been forced to slow down in recent years.

“I can only f–k a thousand more b–ches,” he added. “I can’t do any more.”

When Newton called Ray J’s math into question — noting that he would have needed to sleep with one and a half women a day for 30 years — the singer pushed back.

“Yeah, the math is different ’cause when we’re on tour, we’re thinking five to ten a day,” he explained.

This is not the first time that Ray has claimed to be a member of the ultra-exclusive Five Figure Club.

“Here’s what’s crazy. I just did the big celebration. They did the whole confetti at Booby Trap,” he said during a November 2025, during his appearance on the “BagFuel” podcast (via Page Six). “I was celebrating 10,000 bodies.

“It’s probably like 11,900….. I don’t know if that’s for sure, but I know it reached 10 once I got all the way there.”

It’s been a while since we’ve seen the boastful side of the man who rose to fame with the Kim Kardashian sex tape.

In recent interviews, Ray J has claimed that he only has months to live.

“2027 is definitely a wrap for me,” he said in a video shared to social media. “That’s what they say.”

“I shouldn’t have went this hard, bro,” he continued, adding:

“My baby mama gonna be straight, my kids gonna be straight, if they wanna spend all the money, they can spend it. I did my part here.

“And damn, when it’s all done, burn me, don’t bury me.”

Needless to say, Ray J has a lot going on these days. Hopefully, it won’t interfere with his ability to hit the 13,000 milestone.

Barry Keoghan Breaks Silence on Sabrina Carpenter Cheating Rumors

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Following their split over a year ago, Sabrina Carpenter has seemingly shaded Barry Keoghan.

(Frankly, one of her best songs is believed to be about him.)

Meanwhile, the actor himself has hidden on social media and in real life, avoiding addressing the rumors about him and their split.

Now, however, he’s saying that the claims about him is “not true.”

On the ‘Friends Keep Secrets’ podcast, Barry Keoghan stopped by for a chat in April 2026. (Image Credit: YouTube)

‘I’ve stopped … socializing’

On the Tuesday, April 28 episode of the Friends Keep Secrets podcast, Barry Keoghan spoke about this for the first time.

“I feel in a safe space to say this … but I have been avoiding stuff,” the actor admitted.

It’s interesting that he said that in front of Benny Blanco. Benny’s married one of the world’s most talented singers. Barry fumbled his.

“I have been like, you know, I came off Instagram … and social profiles,” the actor admitted.

“I’ve stopped going to events,” he continued. “I’ve stopped, you know, just socializing.”

Why?

According to Barry, he has taken a hiatus from the social world — in person and online — due to a “not true” narrative that he has “never really even spoken on.”

Until now, that is.

“I never confirmed or said anything about it. … I just disappeared,” Barry admitted, still avoiding naming the rumor.

It fell to Lil Dicky, one of the podcast hosts, to gingerly ask if the “narrative” involved infidelity. It did.

‘I never want to speak on behalf of other people’

“I don’t want to ever bring anyone else into it, but like, you know, unfortunately, having a relationship in the public eye, it’s — we all know this — you know, from our own stories,” Barry said awkwardly.

He is doing a good job of invoking Sabrina Carpenter without naming her.

“It gets put out there and it’s like … it’s amplified,” he added, describing the nature of fame.

“It’s a hard one because I never want to speak on behalf of other people and also never want to mention other people or involve them,” Barry admitted.

He opined that it’s neither his place nor his ex’s “to come forward and speak” on the other’s behalf because that would be “unfair to them.”

(Image Credit: YouTube)

“They’re also in a relationship,” Barry acknowledged.

Interestingly, and despite Bad Bunny rumors earlier this year, Sabrina is not publicly dating anyone right now.

“It’s also both of us being out there for like … so I’m very aware of that,” Barry acknowledged.

Simply put, he’s a popular actor. He’s even a heartthrob, albeit in a Tumblr sexyman sort of way.

But Sabrina is more popular, and when they split in December 2024, some of her fans felt that they had to take sides. With prejudice.

If Sabrina wants to come forward and accuse him of infidelity, she has every right to do so. But unless she does, we probably shouldn’t heed unsubstantiated rumors.

Erika Kirk Slammed For ‘Performative’ Response to Correspondents’ Dinner Shooting

Reading Time: 2 minutes

As you’ve likely heard by now, Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ dinner erupted in violence when a gunman charged a security checkpoint and exchanged fire with Secret Service agents.

President Donald Trump and other administration officials were evacuated from the scene, and there were no serious injuries.

In addition to the targeted politicians, numerous media figures were forced to flee the scene, including Charlie Kirk’s widow, Erika Kirk.

Eirka has been more visible than ever in the months since her husband’s murder, and many have accused her of exploiting the situation.

Kirk received more criticism over the weekend after footage of her being ushered away from the Correspondents’ Dinner went viral.

“The most performative woman who ever lived,” one user wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The replies to the original post ran the full gamut, with some echoing the user’s criticism and others accusing them of being needlessly cruel to a widow who had been freshly re-traumatized.

I can't handle her. She lives for attention and it's so gross she will always find it. People will never see her for the lying snake who traffics and worked with Epstein and took out her own husband. Where TF are her kids??

— Firebreather (@firebrandlatina) April 26, 2026

“I can’t handle her. She lives for attention and it’s so gross she will always find it,” one commenter wrote.

“People will never see her for the lying snake who traffics and worked with Epstein and took out her own husband. Where TF are her kids??”

“Maybe she’ll finally stay the f–k home and raise her kids,” another added.

“‘I just wanna go hoooome.’ Cool. Go home and stay there,” a third chimed in.

But some of the commenters — even the ones who don’t agree with Erika politically — were quick to point out that this is a situation that calls for compassion, not derision.

“Implying that this was performative is real f’n gross. She is a HUMAN BEING WHO LOST HER HUSBAND due to being shot. If she had walked out calmly with no emotion you’d criticize her for that, too,” one person replied.

“Her husband was shot in the neck 6 months ago and there were shots fired at an event she was attending you f–king demon,” another added.

There’s certainly something to be said for the idea that Erika should be prioritizing her children over her career in the wake of her husband’s murder.

But that doesn’t mean we should throw stones at a woman whose life was recently changed by gun violence as she flees a scene where shots were fired.

There was a time when an act of politically motivated violence was the sort of thing that united Americans from different ends of the ideological spectrum, as everyone would come together to declare that violence is never the answer.

Hopefully, we can eventually get back to that mindset.

Cleetis Mack Cause of Death: Digital Underground Rapper, Early Tupac Collaborator Passes …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

We have tragic news to report from the world of music.

Cleetis Mack — the pioneering hip hop artist best known for his work with Digital Underground — has passed away.

News of Mack’s death comes courtesy of a statement issued by representatives of his former group:

The reps tell TMZ that the loss of Mack “leaves a void in our Digital Underground family and in our hearts that can never truly be filled.”

The statement notes that Mack was “more than a part of the movement — he was part of the soul behind it, bringing warmth, loyalty, and quiet strength to everyone around him.

“He will always be remembered by his humility, love, and spirited energy, qualities that lifted those around him and made a lasting impression on all who knew him.”

Digital Underground was founded in 1987 by original members Shock G (Gregory Jacobs), Chopmaster J (Jimi Dright), and Kenny-K (Kenneth Waters).

Mack joined the group in 1993, first performing on the single “Wussup Wit the Luv,” which also featured a young Tupac Shakur.

Though Digital Underground was best known for their 1990 hit “The Humpty Dance,” Mack had not yet joined the group at that juncture.

But it’s a testament to his immense talent that he was recruited for membership after DU had achieved international fame.

Within minutes of the news of his passing, Mack’s name became a trending topic across social media platforms, as friends and fans paid tribute.

Mack’s cause of death and his age at the time of his passing are both unclear at this time.

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

Our thoughts go out to Cleetis Mack’s loved ones during this incredibly difficult time.

Lisa Kudrow Says ‘Friends’ Stars Still Earn $20 Million a Year From Reruns, …

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Lisa Kudrow has been spilling some incredible tea about her Friends days this week.

Some of it is nauseating, like Kudrow’s claim that some of the show’s writers sexually fantasized about Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston.

But some of the remarks Lisa has made during her current press tour have fans applauding the beloved actress for securing the bag.

Yes, more than two decades after Friends signed off, the paychecks are still rolling in. And, according to Kudrow, they are nothing short of staggering.

In a new interview the Times of London, Kudrow revealed that she and the surviving five members of the iconic sitcom’s cast still earn about $20 million a year in residuals from the show’s syndication and streaming success.

Yes, you read that correctly: $20 million per year.

Kudrow, who played the eccentric masseuse and folk singer Phoebe Buffay, even joked about the jaw-dropping number when asked why the checks remain so large.

“Because Phoebe Buffay was so great?” she replied when asked why still earns so much from the character.

Of course, the truth is that the long-term financial windfall is rooted in Friends‘ historic popularity, as well as the groundbreaking deal that the cast negotiated during the show’s final seasons.

By the end of the series, the six stars had secured $1 million per episode along with a 2 percent share of syndication profits, a move that continues to pay off 22 years after the finale aired.

Kudrow revealed that she only started rewatching the series following the 2023 death of Matthew Perry.

And she says that rewatching it gave her a renewed appreciation for what the cast created.

“Before, I only saw what I did wrong or could have done better. But for the first time, I truly appreciated just how great it was,” she poignantly revealed.

“I felt I did OK, but Jennifer and Courteney? Amazing. David and Matt? They had me laughing so hard. And then Matthew — he was just beyond us all.”

“Before, I only saw what I did wrong or could have done better,” she continued, adding:

“But for the first time, I truly appreciated just how great it was.”

Kudrow went on to praise her fellow cast members individually, singling out Perry in especially heartfelt terms.

“I felt I did OK, but Jennifer and Courteney? Amazing. David and Matt? They had me laughing so hard. And then Matthew — he was just beyond us all,” Kudrow said/

The actress also shared why she believes Friends continues to resonate with younger viewers who were not even born when the show originally aired.

“Friends captured a kind of innocence that maybe a younger generation has never gotten to experience,” she speculated.

The show continues to enjoy a sort of cultural staying power is almost unheard of. And apparently, so is the paycheck.

LeAnn Rimes Admits ‘Heartwrenching’ Troubles at Home in Strange Anniversary …

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Happy 15 years!

LeAnn Rimes shared an anniversary tribute to husband Eddie Cibrian.

Many on-set affairs end in double-divorces. Very few result in such a lengthy message.

But Rimes’ tribute struck a mournful, troubled tone. What’s going on at home?

An ‘anniversary … filled with tears’

On Thursday, April 23, Rimes took to her Instagram page to share a very unusual anniversary tribute.

“We got to step away for 3 days amidst work,” she began, “and some very tense, heart wrenching things happening at home with family.”

Did she elaborate? No. But she did continue with further hints at troubles at home.

“It’s been a different anniversary,” Rimes wrote vaguely.

She added that it has been “one filled with tears and worry.”

“But in between, there were moments of laughter and deep gratitude for this love of ours,” Rimes affirmed.

“Day by day, we walk hand in hand through the rollercoaster of life…” she penned.

Rollercoasters can be fine. Referring to a relationship or a day or life itself as one, however, indicates trouble.

“And god,” Rimes continued, “I’m so grateful that it’s with each other.”

She wrote that “we’ve been through so much in our 15 years as husband and wife.”

Taking to Instagram, LeAnn Rimes shared a very unorthodox anniversary tribute to Eddie Cibrian. What is this about? (Image Credit: Instagram)

’15 years is just the beginning’

Rimes gushed: “We know how to ride the waves, hold each other in times of need, mend what needs mending.”

“I’m so proud of what we have created together,” she raved.

Rimes concluded on a surprisingly positive note, writing: “15 years is just the beginning.”

So . . . it doesn’t sound like she’s trying to build up what we have learned to call divorce hype (thank you, Kendra Wilkinson, for cementing that concept in our minds all of those years ago.)

But if she’s not hinting that she and Cibrian are headed for divorce … what is this about?

A post shared by leann rimes cibrian (@leannrimes)

At this point, we’d love to say that we can cut through the fog of war and explain what Rimes isn’t discussing.

Sometimes, celebrities remain vague about things in their private lives, even when there are at least reports explaining what’s going on.

Those reports may be coming. We could have our answers soon. And, of course, we hope that all is well.

But, for now, we’ll have to wait for Rimes — or maybe Cibrian (however unlikely) — to let us know what’s going on.

This could be illness, it could be a legal or financial problem, or even a less-than-famous relative who’s struggling.

Hopefully, Rimes is preparing to tell us. Otherwise, why build up the “mystery” with posts like this?

Jessica Alba Divorced: Custody, Support Details Revealed in Official Docs

Reading Time: 3 minutes

It is officially over for Jessica Alba and Cash Warren.

According to documents recently obtained by TMZ, the former spouses have finalized their divorce.

By all accounts, it really is as amicable as these kinds of splits can be.

The exes will reportedly share joint custody of all three children; and neither will pay any spousal support. Per the celebrity gossip outlet, Warren will receive $3 million to even out the division of their assets.

Alba and Warren exchanged vows in May 2008 and went on to welcome three kids: daughter Honor in June 2008, daughter Haven in August 2011 and son Hayes in December 2017.

The actress filed for divorce in early 2025.

“I’ve been on a journey of self realization and transformation for years – both as an individual and in partnership with Cash,” Alba wrote shortly afterward.

“I’m proud of how we’ve grown as a couple and in our marriage over the last 20 years and it’s now time for us to embark on a new chapter of growth and evolution as individuals.

“We are moving forward with love and kindness and respect for each other and will forever be family. Our children remain our highest priority and we request privacy at this time.”

The pair listed its date of separation as December 27, 2024.

Based on legal papers made available at the time, the two asked the court to determine which items were community property and needed to be divided between them.

Neither side has said much about the basis for the break-up in the many months since.

But one anonymous insider did speak to Us Weekly about it.

“They have had many ups and downs as any marriage would after being together for so many years,” the source told this tabloid in January 2025. “

They have tried therapy and have worked out past issues over the years.”

Added this individual:

“There were trust issues in the past which led to many arguments…

“They are good parents and partners in business together but lost their spark and grew apart. Jessica and Cash made the decision together that this was no longer working or healthy for anyone.”
