Back in November, Priyanka Chopra dropped Jonas from her social media accounts, which led to gossip that her marriage to Nick was on the rocks. In a new interview with “Vanity Fair,” Priyanka described the online reaction as a “professional hazard.” She said, “It’s a very vulnerable feeling, actually, that if I post a picture, everything that’s behind me in that picture is going to be zoomed in on, and people are going to speculate…” Nick added, “We both know that public life is something that comes with what we do, but we’ve set real boundaries around our personal lives, our privacy, and worked really hard to create that little safe haven for ourselves with our friends and family.” Priyanka also said that, as her career has progressed, she’s become “a lot more introverted” and that the entertainment industry “takes a part of your soul.” When she was asked about having kids with Nick, Priyanka said, “By God’s grace, when it happens, it happens.” But when it does, she said they are both cool with slowing down their careers to concentrate on their kids.

Cardi B told a federal jury in Georgia yesterday that she felt “extremely suicidal” after a YouTuber named Tasha K posted several videos talking about Cardi B rumors. Tasha K isn’t just some random person with a YouTube account. She has almost a million followers. And Cardi has sued her for libel. Tasha K said a lot of wild things, like Cardi having an STI…and a lot more I just can’t say about Cardi’s sexual activities. She referred to Cardi B as “Herpes B.” These videos were coming out right around the time Cardi had her first child, Kulture, with her husband Offset. Cardi testified yesterday that Tasha K’s videos had a major impact on her mental health, leaving her feeling extremely suicidal and helpless. Cardi said she developed migraines and suffered from extreme fatigue, anxiety and weight loss. She also testified that as a result of the videos, she struggled with being intimate with her husband and didn’t feel like she deserved her child. Earlier this week, Tasha K took the stand and admitted that she knowingly published lies about Cardi to generate money for her business. *If you or anyone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts, reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 for free, confidential support and resources, 24/7.

Queen Elizabeth summoned her middle son Prince Andrew to come to the palace where she stripped him of his royalness. No longer will Andrew be referred to as “His Royal Highness.” And he’s also lost all his military titles and royal patronages. That means he’s going to be fighting a sexual assault lawsuit brought against him by Virginia Roberts Giuffree, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims who was apparently Andrew’s favorite. Some sources believe that the Queen will still fund Andrew’s legal defense from her private accounts, and it’s reported that Andrew receives about $323K a year from his mom. So he has the funds to defend himself, just not the power of the palace and his royal title to back him up.

LAPD is investigating Kanye West for alleged criminal battery after he apparently knocked a man asking for an autograph to the ground. TMZ got video of the may lying there, apparently conscious but not getting up, as Kanye was screaming at a woman, who may have been his cousin. He’s yelling, “Get away from me!” as she tries to calm him down and asked him to giver her his hand. Kanye yelled, “Ain’t no hands! Ain’t no hands!” The woman tried again, saying, “I am your family. Give me your hand.” And then Kanye says, “You were supposed to talk to her!” Which “her” is he talking about? His estranged wife Kim or his new girlfriend Julia Fox?

Britney Spears saw her baby sister Jamie Lynn on TV promoting her soon-to-be-released memoir, only Britney was watching with a 104 degree temperature. Despite that, Britney had a few things to get off her chest. She tweeted, “The 2 things that did bother me that my sister said was how my behavior was out of control. She was never around me much 15 years ago at that time….so why are they even talking about that unless she wants to sell a book at my expense??? REALLY???” And as far a Jamie Lynn saying she was confused as to why Britney was upset with her for performing remixes of her songs at a 2017 awards show, Britney said, “I know it may sound like a silly thing to most people but I wrote a lot of my songs and my sister was the baby. She never had to work for anything. Everything was always given to her !!!! If you were me, you might understand asking for 13 years for remixes to go into a small venue show and on tours!!!! 13 years later they assign me as the MOTHER OF ALL … heart of gold … Britney sitting there seeing a 15 minute performance of everything I have ever wanted….But see, I always was the bigger person. They all got to DO IT and PLAY ME and I always sat there and took it. But see, now it’s a joke…the last thing I would ever do is ask for what was just given to her!!! So yes, they did ruin my dreams. I do remember asking why sister whys did that when she knew I was waiting to change my show and her only words were ‘Well, it wasn’t my idea’…” Britney also said she won’t be doing Instagram for a while because the media has always been extremely hateful to her.
