Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover… Kim Kardashian & Tom Brady are ‘friendly’… Celebrity Mother’s Day… Jamie Foxx reportedly at physical rehab center… and Britney Spears’ sons plan to move to Hawaii

Listen to “Showbiz – May 16, 2023” on Spreaker.

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue comes out on Thursday, featuring four different cover models. Brooks Nader is a native of Baton Rouge who won SI’s open casting call competition in 2019 and has now made the Swimsuit issue five times. This is Brooks’ first time to make the cover. Joining her is Megan Fox, who says she suffers from body dysmorphia and, at age 38, says, “There’s never a point in my life where I loved my body — never ever.” You may think fellow Kim Petras is the first transgender to make the cover, but you would be wrong. Leyna Bloom was the first to make it in 2021. And finally, 81-year-old Martha Stewart is making history as the oldest cover model in SI Swimsuit history. By the way, the first Swimsuit edition debuted in January 1964 with cover girl Babette March, pronounced “Marx.” In her prime — which would be the mid-1960s — Babette was the highest paid model of her day, earning $85K per year.

Despite people trying to ship these two, Kim Kardashian and Tom Brady are nothing more than friends. They just so happen to have some friends in common, including the marketing guru behind each of their clothing brands. Kim has been thinking about buying a vacation home in the same Baker’s Bay neighborhood in the Bahamas where Tom has a place, so she called him to get some advice. Other celebrities who own homes in this neighborhood include Jennifer Lopez, Michael Jordan, Justin Timberlake and Reese Witherspoon. Maybe Kim will be their next new neighbor!

Nick Cannon has fathered 12 children by six women, so Mother’s Day is a big deal. In an effort to make each of these women feel special this year, instead of generic greeting cards, Nick decided to give them “handwritten messages from the heart.” What could go wrong? Nick confessed on his radio show, “As I’m writing a handwritten message, I get the cards mixed up. And then so when one baby mama reads the card about how I feel about the other baby mama …” He stopped short of saying who got the wrong card, but ouch! And Chris Pratt is taking heat for the message he posted on Mother’s Day. In addition to thanking his mom and his mother-in-law, Chris said how lucky his two daughters are to have his wife Katherine as a mom, adding that she’s a great step mama to his son Jack. Internet trolls blasted Chris for failing to mention Jack’s mama, his ex-wife Anna Faris. But Chris also had a ton of defenders, who reminded the trolls that Anna hasn’t wished him a happy Father’s Day since they got divorced.

On April 12, Jamie Foxx suffered what his daughter Corinne called a “medical complication,” but she’s been quiet ever since. But after seeing RadarOnline’s report that Jamie is on life support and her family is preparing for the worst, Corinne decided it was time to speak up. In a since-deleted Instagram Story, Corinne said, “update from the family: Sad to see how the media runs wild. My Dad has been out of the hospital for weeks, recuperating.” She even claimed Jamie was well enough to play pickleball. According to TMZ, Jamie has been in a rehab facility in Chicago since late April. It’s reportedly one of the top rehab centers in the country, specializing in stroke recovery, traumatic brain injury rehab, spinal cord injury rehab and cancer rehabilitation. A source inside the facility told TMZ that Jamie is “recovering well.” But no one is even hinting at what happened to Jamie on April 12.

TMZ’s “Britney Spears: The Price of Freedom” takes a look at Britney’s life since her conservatorship ended on Nov. 12, 2021. According to TMZ’s executive producer, “Britney lives in virtual isolation. Most of the time she’s at home by herself.” When she does leave, TMZ’s news director said she spends her days and nights “driving aimlessly” and will sometimes “drive to a quiet, dirt path, park and just kind of meditate.” TMZ also claims Britney is a binge sleeper who will sometimes sleep for 3 days and then “won’t sleep at all for the next few.” And while Britney hasn’t seen her sons in well over a year, TMZ says there have been some occasional texts between the three of them, “so maybe the ice is thawing a bit.” However, the boys may be buttering Britney up because Kevin Federline had his attorney send a letter to Britney’s lawyer, asking if she’d be open to letting their sons move to Hawaii with him and their stepmom, Victoria Prince, who landed a job at a university in Hawaii. Sean Preston is 17 and Jayden James is 16, so until they turn 18, they need Britney to approve a move like this.
