Ethan Slater wife Lilly Jay says he ditched family for Ariana Grande

Image
The wife of Ethan Slater, Ariana Grande's "Wicked" co-star and reported new beau, feels he has abandoned her and their new son for the singer, according to a new report. Sources close to the "Thank U, Next" singer, 30, and Slater, 31, insist their love story didn't start until they'd closed the books on their respective marriages. But the Broadway star's wife, Lilly Jay, feels he has all but ditched the family, insiders tell TMZ. "It's understandable that emotions are high and it's hard seeing your ex move on, especially in such a public way, and her friends are trying to protect her," they told the outlet. "But Ari and Ethan are just trying to lay low and be respectful of their exes as they pursue this new relationship." Jay is also reportedly trying to move past the fact that the former couple, who tied the knot in 2018, will not be raising their 11-month-old together. The insiders say Grande spent time with Slater and J

Naoya Inoue vs. Stephen Fulton fight results, highlights: 'The Monster' overwhelms to score TKO, earn titles

Image
Inoue put on a clinic in his fourth weight class to claim the WBC and WBO super bantamweight titles on Tuesday. For as great as Naoya Inoue has been throughout his run as three-division champion, Tuesday morning's destruction of unified 122-pound champion Stephen Fulton Jr. just placed him into a whole different stratosphere. Inoue (25-0, 22 KOs), the reigning pound-for-pound king, scored the most emphatic victory of his increasingly legendary career by becoming a world champion in a fourth division following an eighth-round TKO of Fulton (21-1, 8 KOs) to commandeer the WBC and WBO super bantamweight titles. The 30-year-old Inoue dominated from start to finish in front of his adoring home crowd inside Tokyo's Ariake Arena. But it was the ease in which he systematically demolished Fulton, among the most well-rounded champions in the sport, that turned boxing's current P4P debate into anything but, even as the sport awaits Saturday's Errol Spence Jr.-Terence Crawford show

Tom Brady Is Rumored to Be Dating Model Irina Shayk

The last year has seen a lot of changes for former quarterback Tom Brady. In October 2022, he and his wife Gisele Bündchen announced that they were getting a divorce after 13 years of marriage. Then in February this year, the seven-time Super Bowl winner ended his NFL career, retiring for the second time—for good this time. Since then, Brady has been embracing this new chapter in life, spending quality time with his three children, hanging out with ex-teammates Julian Edelman and Rob Gronkowski, and vacationing in style. He has even played up his newly single status while promoting his Brady Brand line of underwear by posting a shirtless thirst trap to social media. And now it looks like he's getting back out there and dating again. First, Brady was seen hanging out with the ubiquitous reality star and businesswoman Kim Kardashian at a party in the Hamptons, prompting speculation that they were romantically involved. Now, however, those rumors have been squashed, and it looks like

Jamie Foxx addresses hospitalization for the first time: "I went to hell and back"

 The singer and actor, 55, was admitted to the hospital in April 2023 for an undisclosed reason. His daughter Corinne said that he "experienced a medical complication," but did not elaborate. In his video, Foxx did not say why he had been hospitalized, but credited his sister Deidra Dixon and his daughter, as well as "a lot of great medical people" with "saving (his) life." "I went through something that I thought I would never ever go through," Foxx said in the video. "I know a lot of people were waiting, you know, wanting to hear updates, but to be honest with you, I just didn't want you to see me ... with tubes running out of me and trying to figure out if I was going to make it through." Foxx also took time to debunk rumors that had spread about his condition. "By being quiet, sometimes things get out of hand. ... Some people said I was blind, but as you can see the eyes are working, the eyes are working just fine. Said I w

F1 Hungarian GP: Hamilton outpaces Verstappen in final practice

Image
Lewis Hamilton headed the final practice session ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix, as Formula 1 championship leader Max Verstappen was 0.25s adrift of his former title rival. With the introduction of the alternative tire allocation for this round, limiting teams from 13 sets of tires per weekend to 11, the teams attempted to use FP3 as preparation for each phase of qualifying. This yielded all-out times across the full range of compounds, rather than simply bolting on softs as in hot-lap preparation. Track temperatures of 45C and above also made it more difficult for the drivers to initially beat their FP2 times, when the track surface had been cooled by earlier rain, although an overnight downpour had stripped the Hungaroring surface of rubber laid down on Friday. Daniel Ricciardo set the first timed lap of the session, but his sighter was quickly beaten by Kevin Magnussen's 1m20.454s, who in turn was usurped by Sergio Perez's first lap on a set of used mediums. Verstappen th

Tony Bennett, king of the American Songbook, dead at 96

 Tony Bennett, the internationally renowned singer whose voice epitomized the American Songbook, has died. He was 96. Bennett died Friday morning in New York City, according to a representative for the singer. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2016, but his condition didn't stop him from occasionally performing live or releasing new music. He reached the Billboard Top 10 at age 95 in 2021 thanks to his second duet album with Lady Gaga, Love For Sale, and celebrated his retirement the same year with two touching nights at Radio City Music Hall. Bennett hit the scene as a suave crooner in the 1950s and quickly established himself as one of radio's most popular hit-makers. He was a showman, with an intimate nightclub sensibility. He was that persona everywhere. It was like his tailored suits: age-appropriate, yet timelessly cool. He cut his first sides when he was 20 years old, including the song "St. James Infirmary Blues," which was made right after Worl
