Paul Russell tells Billboard magazine that he's glad he had to work a regular job before he was successful. “I think it helped having a job for so long where I’m pulling from normal life, and what normal life means to me. There are a lot of artists where I’ll relate to their early music, and not their later music. They don’t understand what real people are going through. You have to fight against that by understanding who you’re speaking to, and understanding what you have in common with people.”
Miley Cyrus tells Harper's Bazaar magazine that the secret to true beauty is to keep it simple. "I've been guilty of painting up my whole face and trying all these weird, wacky things. The truth of the matter is the more simple you keep it, the better you look. Makeup is supposed to accentuate your face, not cover it up. Keep it simple and you'll be shocked at the results."
Olivia Rodrigo tells NPR.org that she takes being a role model for young women seriously. "I don't take it lightly when, you know, young girls come up to me and say that they look up to me or, you know, if I'm a role model for them in some way. And I've certainly gotten some side eyes from some concerned parents over some of the lyrics I've used in my songs in my career. I try to only use bad words in my songs to make strong points. Otherwise I want all ages to be able to listen to my music."
Luke Combs tells Billboard magazine that he likes to keep his shows simple. “People aren't coming to my shows expecting to see explosions and exotic set pieces. It's just me, my band, and my guitar. If going to see Taylor Swift is like going to see Ringling Bros., my show is like going to a demolition derby.”
Dua Lipa tells Rolling Stone magazine that she separates her onstage persona from who she is offstage. ““Sometimes you have to separate the art from the person.… It’s more like the music element, the aspect of it that I’m really connected to. The way that some artists act, the things that they’ve done, they’re obnoxious for sure. That’s their whole thing. That's not me. I'm a totally different person when I get off of that stage.”
People Magazine says Rihanna celebrated her 36th birthday with A$AP Rocky on a boat in Venice. The couple shared kisses and enjoyed a meal in Paris for Valentine's Day
Ace Showbiz says Tom Cruise has allegedly ended his relationship with Elsina Khayrova just days after meeting her kids. A source says, “To end things on a bad note would’ve been awkward if they bumped into each other in the lift. There are no hard feelings between them and, for Tom, their relationship simply ran its course.”
TMZ says Garth Brooks has invited Travis Kelce to sing "Friends in Low Places" at the opening of his new Nashville bar.

In Touch Weekly says Travis Kelce is excited to join Taylor Swift on her tour in Australia. A source says, “He’s had to miss most of her concerts because of football season. But now that he has some free time, he’s planning to spend it with Taylor. He’s going to tag along with her on the road. Taylor will be busy, of course, but Travis just wants to be there to see her work. He’s always in awe of her when she performs, and he pampers her after her shows. He is hoping they can take a few private side trips and have some intimate candlelit dinners.”
Heat Magazine says Ben Affleck is allegedly worried about his decision to be a part of Jennifer Lopez's film, ‘’This Is Me... Now’’. A source says, “There is a very real risk this film will not get the reaction she’s expecting. Ben’s been complaining to friends this could end up being Gigli 2.0. It will be especially embarrassing for him considering the career he’s built up and how seriously he takes his projects. He’s scared he’s made a big mistake getting involved.’’
Closer Magazine says Bradley Cooper is allegedly planning to propose to Gigi Hadid. A source tells the magazine, "He’s been totally swept off his feet and proudly boasts how he’s hit the jackpot as she’s stunningly intelligent and beautiful, both inside and out. He even bought a house close to hers, which is a huge step considering they haven’t even been dating a year. He’s now openly talking about ring shopping and saying she’s The One. It’s a shock for his friends because they never saw this coming. They’re both open about wanting to settle down and have more kids, though there’s a sense that neither wants to rock the boat by piling on too much pressure. But if they continue at this rate, they’ll be moving in together very soon and Bradley will be proposing.”
Jimmy Kimmel tells the Los Angeles Times newspaper that he may retire from hosting his late night show when his contract expires in two years. "I think this is my final contract.

I still have a little more than two years left on my contract, and that seems pretty good. That seems like enough."
People magazine says Gisele Bundchen and Joaquim Valente have been dating since June and are taking it slow. A source says, "They started out as great friends first. She's very private about this and wanted to keep it quiet while they got to know each other."

They come from similar backgrounds. They both left Brazil very young. They have both created amazing lives for themselves in the US. They both love Miami, but also enjoy traveling. They both enjoy healthy living. Gisele's in a great space. She is happy and very much enjoying life. Joaquim is perfect for her."

Dear Fonseca
I work for a very well known privately owned company in the area. If I mention the name you will instantly know it. I'm in a bind at work. My boss' wife called me the other day and asked me to start spying on him because she believes he may be cheating. I told her I would think about it. I'm petrified and don't know what to do. If my boss catches me, I will be fired. If I don't do it, she will most likely start putting things in his head about me and I'll be fired then. Does he or she have more control in this situation? I make great money and want to keep my job. What should I do? Accept the proposal or not?
