Michael Strahan on becoming a grandfather 

Michael Strahan does love being a grandparent, but doesn’t want to be called “grandpa”.

The Good Morning America co-anchor, who became a first-time grandfather on September 22 when his eldest daughter Tanita Strahan gave birth to baby boy Onyx, explained why he does not want to use the customary name as he starts life in the new family role.

“It’s the most amazing feeling ‘cause I don’t feel old enough,” the 52-year-old told Jimmy Fallon during a conversation on The Tonight Show Sept. 23. “Everyone’s like, ‘What is he gonna call you?’ I don’t know. I almost want to do a survey.”

When the late-night anchor suggested he can be called “Papa,” but Strahan preferred “Gap-pa,” a reference to his famous gapped teeth.

Despite being indecisive of what he will prefer to be addressed, being a grandfather is something that makes him “happy”.

“I’m so happy for my daughter Tanita and Calenta [Mincey], her boyfriend,” the former NFL star expressed, calling baby Onyx a “great addition to the family.”

Michael, who shares Tanita, 32, and son Michael Strahan Jr., 31, with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, as well as 19-year-old twins Isabella and Sophia Strahan with ex-wife Jean Muggli, announced the new born’s arrival on Fox NFL Sunday on September 22.

“It’s really special because I know you guys have gone through this,” he told his co-hosts, who are all grandfathers. “Now I’m just happy to be able to join you in that club.”

Model Jenny Shimizu on dating Madonna

Model Jenny Shimizu got candid on how it felt to date Madonna in the ’90s.

“I mean, you’re not gonna say no to Madonna in the ’90s,” the 57-year-old said in the last episode of the documentary series In Vogue: The 90s, which dropped on Hulu Friday, September 20. “Not only was it great feeling like a high-class hooker, because really it was.”

Shimizu rose to prominence in the early 1990s through her modelling profession. While employed as a mechanic, she got the opportunity to model for Calvin Klein in magazine commercials before rising to the runway. 

Shimizu made history by becoming the first Asian model to walk for Prada and the first person of colour to open the show.

The diva shared that during the period she and the now 66-year-old Queen of Pop were dating, the latter would call her to meetup at extravagant global locations.

“You’d get a phone call like, ‘Hey, can you meet me at my Paris show? You’re in Europe, right?’ So I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I’m just finishing Prada. Right after Prada, I’ll catch a plane over,’” she shared in the doc. “And I would. I’d go over to her hotel, to the Ritz, at, like, 4 in the morning, [get private] and then fly back to Milan.”

However, as People reported, Madonna and Shimizu’s romance was pretty short-term.

Ellen DeGeneres on going to ‘therapy’ because of ‘hatred’ 

Ellen DeGeneres seems pretty affected by “all the hatred” the host received after being accused of creating a toxic work environment on her daily show and getting “cancelled”, which eventually sent her to “therapy”, as she in her last standup on Netflix.

“I was in therapy for a while trying to deal with all the hatred that was coming at me. It was not a common situation for a therapist to deal with,” DeGeneres said in the comedy special For Your Approval.

“At one point, my therapist said, ‘Ellen where do you get this idea that everyone hates you?’ And I said, ‘Well, New York Times, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, Us Weekly, I think Elmo may have said something recently on an episode of Sesame Street.”

DeGeneres continued, “She said, ‘Well I think you just need to avoid looking at the news, just avoid media.’ I said, ‘I am. I’m not looking at anything.’ But I would always know when something was going on because I’d start getting texts from friends saying thinking of you or sending love.”

Courteney Cox and David Arquette were married from 1999 to 2013

Courteney Cox isn’t ready to let go of her ex-husband David Arquette’s Dewey Riley just yet.

In a recent interview with Variety, the Friends alum, 60, expressed her hope for David Arquette’s beloved Scream character to make a return, despite his tragic death in Scream 5 (2022).

“I understand the reasons they did it, but whoa! Talk about a missed character,” Cox said during a charity event in Malibu on Sept. 21.

She emphasised, “Dewey is so loved by Scream fans. They have to figure it out.”

Though Scream 7 is confirmed following the massive success of Scream VI earlier this year, Arquette downplayed any chances of Dewey’s return. When asked about reprising his role in a possible flashback, Arquette said on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, “I don’t think so… I haven’t gotten any calls or anything.”

Cox, who hasn’t yet officially signed on for Scream 7, did reveal that the script is constantly being updated, though she remains in the loop. She’s also thrilled that Scream creator Kevin Williamson will direct the upcoming film, saying, “You can’t get better than that choice…”

Whoopi Goldberg supports Taylor Swift after Travis Kelce’s fans slammed her

Whoopi Goldberg has recently spoken in favour of Taylor Swift after Travis Kelce’s fans blamed the singer for her boyfriend’s “sluggish start”.

Earlier, Travis reportedly appeared miserable on the sideline in a clip which went viral on September 22 as the songstress was not seen at the game for the first time.

Some football fans were quick to slam Taylor for “taking his mind off the game”.

Whoopi defended the singer and said on her The View show, “Grow up, y’all! Grow up! Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up!”

The Sister Act star continued, “It’s insane. Listen, this is a guy whose doing movies now, he’s doing television commercials, he’s doing all kinds of stuff.”

“He might have been a little busy, and maybe he’s not 12 anymore, okay? He’s still a viable player,’” stated the show’s host.

Whoopi believed that it was Donald Trump supporters who lashes out at the singer.

“I am blaming MAGA. I think it’s them because they’re mad, she is not supporting you-know-who. They’re putting all of this on her!” she noted.

Another co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Whoopi and said, “I love your point, though. It’s probably the crazy MAGA people that are upset about this.”

Whoopi however pointed out, “Yeah, because why else would this suddenly be an issue?”

“And she’s also busy! Sorry y’all, she’s not thinking about him!” claimed the Ghost actress.
