This has become our most famous waxwork since the National Wax Museum opened in 1983 — but we won’t ever put it on display again. We will be asking four artists to make submissions, with the likeness everyone agrees on turned into our Sinead O’Connor. It’s very important we get this right after what’s happened.’’


Perez Hilton says Ben Affleck allegedly had a fling with Kick Kennedy before reuniting with Jennifer Lopez. A source tells Perez, "Ben and Kick had a casual thing years ago before his marriage." 

A source tells Ace Showbiz, ""They met because Ben is from Boston and when you live in Boston, the Kennedy family is royalty. So when he started hanging out with Kick, he legit thought that he had landed into the Kennedy family. But she was too young and not ready for anything serious. They didn't have any affair during his marriage, but it is interesting to Kick's friends that as soon as this divorce happened all of a sudden Ben is hanging out with an old hookup whose family he sees as royalty."

RadarOnline.com says Tom Cruise's body odor is allegedly turning off potential partners. A source says,  "Tom seems to be totally in denial. He's always been a pretty sweaty guy, but lately it seems to have gotten even worse – and he's doing nothing to address it! He'll be out and be totally drenched and not seem to even notice, but of course the people around him are quite taken aback. To be fair, his sweat baths happen more in hot and humid places, but at this point in his life he should know it's going to happen and just come prepared. He could bring a change of clothes and a towel and maybe some spray deodorant too because he can get mighty pungent when he goes hours on end in a soaked shirt. He's Tom Cruise, so no one is going to tell him to his face, but people do comment about it and question why he doesn't invest in some Botox under the armpits."


Hollywoodlife.com says Jon Hamm is eager to collaborate with Jennifer Aniston on a rom-com. Jon says, “I have no idea what it would look like. I think it would just have to be funny and fun, and it would let us do what we both do very well, which is be charming and funny and compelling. I certainly wouldn’t say ‘no’ to that. I mean, God bless Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney for proving that it can work again. I’m glad to see that some of the [studios], streamers, and alternate folks are taking swings at the romantic comedy genre again because I feel like it is something that was overlooked for some time.”


TMZ says O.J. Simpson's remains have been transformed into cremation jewelry for his four adult children. The necklaces and bracelets, with miniature urns as pendants, cost $4,243.06. Malcolm LaVergne, O.J.'s longtime lawyer and executor of his estate, shared that the children received the jewelry


OK! Magazine says Kevin Costner allegedly believes 'Yellowstone' won't succeed without his input. A source reveals, "It would give him a lot of quiet satisfaction seeing those guys fall flat on their faces for even attempting to breathe fresh life into the show he sees very much as his baby … not theirs. At the end of the day, Kevin thinks the Yellowstone bosses are running around like delusional headless chickens. His bottom line, however egotistical it may sound, is that without his genius — even on a consulting level — it’s not going to work."

Dear Fonseca,

My 14 year old son wants to use AI to help him with his homework and school projects. My husband and I are torn about whether or not to let him use it. Is it cheating or a tool?  I guess arguments could be made for both sides. What would you do if you were us? Allow our son to use AI or not?
