Michael Jordan’s son and Scottie Pippen’s ex-wife are getting hitched! When they first started hanging out, “Real Housewives of Miami” star/Only Fans Foot Fetish Model/Former BFF of Kim Kardashian/FKA Mrs. Scottie Pippen Larsa said she and Marcus Jordan were just friends. Obviously, they were lying. I mean, beyond the age gap — she’s 49 and he’s 32 — her ex-husband was teammates with his dad! And just last month when a paparazzo asked Michael about his son dating Larsa, he let it be known that he did NOT approve. But Larsa insists there’s nothing weird about this relationship. She said that even though Scottie and Michael were teammates, it wasn’t like they were besties hanging out all the time, so she didn’t really know Marcus when he was growing up. But she knows him VERRRRY intimately now! When the two of them left a restaurant in West Hollywood Wednesday night, Larsa was wearing a big ol’ ring on THAT finger. One of the paparazzi asked if there was a wedding in the future and he said it was “in the works” and they’re looking for a location.

At the Jonas Brothers concert in Boston on Tuesday, right in the middle of performing their song “Sail Away,” Nick fell through a trap door on the stage! Fan video shows a security guard trying to warn Nick about the door, but oops! Nick could be seen mouthing “Ouch!” before shaking it off and finishing the song with his brothers. At the same show, a fan in the crowd help up a sign that said, “Draw me a tattoo?” Joe stopped mid-performance and drew two smiley faces on the sign. Right after the show, the fan raced to a tattoo parlor and had those smiley faces inked on her leg.

If you were hoping to hear that Taylor Swift would be our next Super Bowl Halftime performer, you’ll have to shelve those dreams a while longer. Taylor’s tour will have her in Japan in February, no where near Las Vegas for Super Bowl 58. She will finally wrap up her tour in November 2024, which may give her enough wiggle room to accept the gig for Super Bowl 59. Back to the present….On Monday, Ed Sheeran told Andy Cohen that he hadn’t recorded “End Game” with Taylor yet. The song, which also featured Future, was part of Taylor’s 2017 “Reputation” album. Lo and behold, Taylor and Ed had dinner together in NYC Thursday night, perhaps celebrating the fact that they finally got in the studio and got it done! Meantime, Taylor’s fifth studio album “1989” was released on Oct. 27, 2014, and she will release her rerecorded version exactly 9 years later on Oct. 27, 2023.

More is coming out about the breakdown of Britney Spears and Sam Asghari’s marriage. Sam posted on his IG Stories Wednesday night, “After 6 years of love and commitment to each other my wife and I have decided to end our journey together. We will hold onto the love and respect we have for each other and I wish her the best always. Sh** happens. Asking for privacy seems ridiculous so I will just ask for everyone including media to be kind and thoughtful.” We all know that’s not how this works. So now sources — obviously from Team Sam — are leaking that Britney physically abused Sam throughout their relationship. In fact, one source told TMZ that security had to step in several times. But allegedly happened behind closed doors, while they were in bed sleeping. The source says Britney “flew off the handle and began punching him” while Sam was fast asleep, leaving his with a black eye. Allegedly, they’d been fighting because Britney has been “hyper-sexualized” lately and had asked an employee to film her naked. There’s also a rumor that Sam accused Britney of having an affair with someone who worked for her. Multiple sources told TMZ that Britney and Sam’s attorneys will most likely negotiate an agreement that will have her writing him a check for several hundred thousand dollars. He would then have to sign an NDA requiring him to give back the money if he talks about anything he experienced during their time together.
