‘Titanic’ is returning to Netflix… Maury Povich is launching at-home paternity test… Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame… Celebrity babies… and Did Cardi B cheat on Offset?

Listen to “Showbiz – June 27, 2023” on Spreaker.

 

Netflix recently announced they’ll begin streaming “Titanic” on July 1st. Was this already on the schedule, and the timing right after the implosion of the OceanGate submarine implosion is just an awful coincidence? Or did Netflix scramble to get this on the schedule in order to capitalize on the interest in this horrible tragedy? A lot of people think it’s the latter, and Netflix is getting slammed for their tackiness on social media. But “Titanic” isn’t the only deep-sea project Netflix has on the July schedule. A new submarine documentary called “The Deepest Breath” is getting a little side-eye, too. So should Netflix pull both of these to at least appear sensitive to the OceanGate tragedy? In their defense, there’s been a renewed interest in the “Titanic” movie. In fact, it was trending #4 on Amazon Prime.

Maury Povich retired from his his talk show last year, but he’s not done making paternity dreams come true! Maury’s whole schtick became telling men, “You ARE” or “You are NOT the father!” So now he’s launching an at-home paternity test called “The Results Are In…” Maury said, “I’ve been around paternity testing for more than 20 years, so I know exactly what’s going on and how we can help those people who are looking for fathers, fathers who are looking for children…Fathers who don’t think they’re the fathers and fathers who think they’re the fathers. . . I’ve seen firsthand how DNA testing can change lives and bring families together. We’re making it easier and more affordable than ever before.”

Out of the hundreds of nominations, the honorees for this year’s Hollywood Walk of Fame were announced yesterday. Some of the honorees in the Recording category include Gwen Stefani, Def Leppard, Dr. Dre, Darius Rucker, Sammy Hagar, Toni Braxton and Brandy Norwood.

Lots of celebrity baby news! Lindsay Lohan is due to deliver any day now, and TMZ has reported that she’s having a boy. She will deliver the baby in Dubai, which is where Lindsay now lives with her husband Bader Shannas. Lindsay’s mom Dina reportedly will be by her side for the birth of her first grandchild. Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker had a concert-themed gender reveal party. Upon arrival, guests received all-access passes and chose either a pink or blue wrist band based on their guesses. Kourtney wore a blue top because she had a feeling it was going to be a boy and the confetti explosion proved she was right! And finally, 16 months after he was born, Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have legally changed their son’s name from Wolf Jacques Webster to Aire Webster.

Cardi B and Offset were secretly married in September 2017. Their daughter Kulture will be 5 next month and their son Wave will turn 2 in September. Things have been relatively quiet for the couple recently…until this weekend. In a since-deleted IG Story, Offset caused Cardi of sleeping with another man, only in way more colorful language. In response, Cardi posted a 3-minute clip on Twitter. Sounding very unbothered at first, Cardi sang the opening lines of Keyshia Cole’s “I Should Have Cheated,” before telling us all, “Don’t pay attention to the country man.” Then she reminded us all — again in very colorful language — that SHE IS CARDI B. And CARDI B can’t be sleeping with any “regular-degular-shmegular” because he would tell the world! She also can’t sleep with anyone in the industry, because they would run their mouths, too. And then she got real heated and said if Offset was sitting next to her at that moment, she would smack him over the head with a bottle. No response from Offset as of her posting.
