TikTok star Addison Rae wrapped filming on her first movie “He’s All That” a few months ago and we’ll get to see the fruits of her labor on Netflix later this year. In a new interview, Addison said she took a method acting approach, asking friends and family to call her by her character’s name of Padgett when she wasn’t on set. Addison said, “I’m willing to prove how seriously I do take things. It’s something I’m willing to keep working at and hopefully really proving myself to these people.”

Remember when Brenda Song — who was hilarious as London on “The Suite Life of Zack & Cody” — was engaged to the very tatted Trace Cyrus? It was actually a very messy relationship. They were together for seven years, breaking up and getting back together…even getting engaged twice before calling it off for good in 2017. Brenda never went back after that because that’s the same year she met Macaulay Culkin on the set of a movie they filmed in Thailand and they’ve been together ever since. And the couple announced on Monday that a week earlier, on April 5, they welcomed their baby girl, Dakota Song Culkin. She’s named after Macaulay’s sister, who passed away in 2008.

On February 10, 2008, Kanye performed “Hey Mama” and “Stronger” at the Grammys and the next day, all the fashion and sneaker blogs were asking, “What were those shoes Kanye was wearing??” You could see a swoosh, but nobody had ever seen another pair of them anywhere. It turns out, Kanye used his Grammy moment to unveil his top secret collaboration with Nike and he was wearing the Air Yeezy 1. And now Sotheby’s has listed the sample pair of the shoes Kanye wore onstage, valuing them at $1 million. According to their site, that night at the Grammys “was a critical moment for Kanye’s career, in both music and fashion…. Kanye’s introduction of the Air Yeezy at the 50th Annual Grammy Awards is considered to be one of the most important moments in the history of footwear…Though Kanye West has partnered with adidas since 2013, the Nike Air Yeezy I and Air Yeezy II are still some of the most coveted sneakers by collectors, and are foundational to the trajectory of the Yeezy brand as we know it today.” Sotheby’s is NOT auctioning off the actual shoes Kanye wore at the Grammys. Those were auctioned off for a children’s hospital. These are the prototypes designed by Kanye and Mark Smith in Nike’s “Innovation Kitchen.” They feature black perforated leather uppers, a strap across the instep and “Y” medallion lace locks in bright pink. (Kanye ditched the medallion locks for the Grammys.) Collector Ryan Chang is going to showcase these shoes at an exhibition in Hong Kong from April 16 to April 21.

Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez chose the “Today” show to make the official announcement. They are done. In their statement, the now former couple said, “We have realized we are better as friends and look forward to remaining so. We will continue to work together and support each other on our shared businesses and projects. We wish the best for each other and one another’s children. Out of respect for them, the only other comment we have to say is thank you to everyone who has sent kind words and support.” A source told Page Six last month that the whole scandal with “Southern Charm” star Madison Leroy was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The source said, “There were already problems, but Jennifer was really embarrassed by it.”
