A flaming dumpster to represent our coverage of celebrity news.

S30E10: Dumpster Dive | Brandon Blackstock, Apollonia, Justin and Hailey Bieber, Kyle Massey, Leonardo DiCaprio, Lee Radziwill, Offset {hearts} Sabrina Carpenter


In the Dumpster this week:

  • We note the passing of Kelly Clarson’s ex Brandon Blackstock at just 48. Please keep his four children in your thoughts.
  • Actress, singer, Prince confidant, and other multi-hyphenate Apollonia (Patricia Apollonia Kotero), at the young age of 66, finds herself embroiled in a legal battle with Prince’s estate over her name. Though Apollonia has been going by the moniker professionally since the 1980s, including while starring in Prince’s Purple Rain film, and owns several trademarks for it, Paisley Park Enterprises is coming after her in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to try to cancel her ownership of her name.
  • And while the Biebers have managed to avoid entry in the Trashy Divorces Cinematic Universe (by staying married!), we are officially launching “Bieber Watch” after Hailey’s strong assertion of the stability of their marriage in May’s issue of Vogue. Yeah, we’re late to the party – people have been proclaiming the end that marriage since they started dating!
  • Also, Justin Bieber’s Instagram shows him recently hanging out with fellow Disney Channel alum Kyle Massey, which caused a bit of an uproar online. Massey stands accused of sending nude pictures to a 13 year old.
  • Over in Hollywoodland, Leonardo DiCaprio has sat for a rare interview with Esquire Magazine and director Paul Thomas Anderson. In it, he explains that while he has entered his fifth birthday, his emotional age is more like 35. Seems high!
  • Princess Lee Radziwill (and Jackie Kennedy’s sister) Lee Radziwill’s Upper East Side duplex is on the market – for a mere $17M. At 4,600-square-feet and with views of Central Park and Fifth Avenue, photos reveal a gorgeous home that’s certainly out of our price range.
  • Finally, in Cardi B and Offset news, it seems that Offset may be a bit tweaked that Cardi has moved on with a New England Patriots player – and declared his crush on singer Sabrina Carpenter, though he could not name any of her songs.
