MacKenzie Scott, ex-wife of Jeff Bezos and one of the richest women in the world, is making news for giving a lot of that money away. Scott just announced she was giving away $2.7 billion to 286 charities or organizations that look after racial equality and the arts. In 2019 she said she was going to give away her money “until the safe was empty.” She’s now given more than $8 billion since last year, so it’s going pretty well. According to Forbes, she still has about $60 billion, making her the 22nd richest person in the world.

Yesterday fashion designer Michael Costello came out with accusations calling Chrissy Teigen a bully, and today, he’s the target of the same accusation from singer Leona Lewis. Lewis posted a story on his Instagram talking about an incident with Costello in 2014. Leona was scheduled to walk in a fashion show for charity and flew to New York to meet with Michael and his team. She says he failed to show up for the final fitting with no explanation, and she felt as if her body type wasn’t the kind that they wanted in their dress. Leona says she was embarrassed and deeply hurt, and was forced to sit in the audience and make up excuses to the press why she wasn’t walking in the charity event. She continued that while she’s not discounting Michael‘s experience, he shouldn’t kick Chrissy while she’s down, since she has been trying to apologize for her earlier actions and is showing remorse.
Travis Scott has been honored by a New York City school called Parsons ant their 72nd Annual Event. Travis and a few others were recognized by the school for “contributions to design, retail, entrepreneurship, the arts, sustainability, and social justice.” At the end of his speech he thanked “wifey” Kylie Jenner, who was in the audience with their daughter Stormi. The two have never been married, and in fact it seems like they haven’t been a couple for quite a while, but they DEFINITELY looked coupley last night, sparking rumors that they’re back together.
A few days ago we got a very brief first look at season two of “The Witcher” which included exactly zero Henry Cavill as Geralt. Now comes news that the show is getting a spin-off movie. “The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf” will be - wait for it - animated, which I guess is great if you like anime, but if you hoped for another dose of hunky bare-chested Witcher man-candy, it isn’t, The animated movie will be a kind of prequel, about a young Witcher named Vesemir. Plot details are thin, but the same creators live-action show will be behind this animated spinoff film. It, and the second season of “The Witcher” are expected sometime this year.

Willow Smith is going to interview her friend Paris Jackson in an episode of the red table talk series on Facebook. The preview focuses on questions, not the answers, but this one looks like it’s gonna be very interesting. I hear Paris says she feels she suffers post-traumatic stress disorder from the times paparazzi hounded her father, Michael. The interview drops tonight on Facebook at 8 PM.
Everyone is talking about this performance on “America's Got Talent” a of the World Taekwondo Demonstration Team. The team, made up of Koreans and Americans, was invited to the 2020 Olympics to perform, but could t make it due to COVID. Maybe it was fate - host Terry Crews gave them the gold (button) to send them straight to the live shows.
