Mariah Carey seemingly responds to Nick Cannon's song about wanting her back, plus more news

Mariah Carey posts couples selfie with Bryan Tanaka after Nick Cannon drops ‘ode’ their failed marriage

It’s been eight years since Mariah Carey split from her ex-husband, Nick Cannon. And while Nick was inspired to release a musical “ode” to his famous ex and their lost love over the weekend, Mariah’s now making it clear she’s very much still with her boyfriend, Bryan Tanaka. Nick shared his new, Mariah-themed track — a ballad in which he says he wants her back (then croons about paying child support to the various mothers of his eight children) — on social media one day before Valentine’s Day. One day after Valentine’s Day, Mariah popped up on Instagram with a couples selfie that showed her cozying up to Bryan, her beau of six years. “Valentine’s marathon continues. Hour 23!” she wrote alongside the pic, which marked Bryan’s first appearance on her Instagram since 2021. Her fans don’t think the timing was a coincidence. “Oh she DEFINITELY heard the song 😂 ily Mariah,” one person replied in the comments. “Nick, stay away. She’s happy! Nothing to be rekindled!” another wrote. “This pic was the response to that mess,” said a third. For what it’s worth, Nick, who shares 10-year-old twins Monroe and Moroccan with Mimi, does acknowledge Mariah’s “got a man” and “it’s a little late” in his new track. “First off, I’m gonna say I ain’t got nothing but love for ya,” he sings. “Nothing but love/Imma stay away …” Later, he admits, “As much as I want you back / It’s probably better where you at.” He then references the children he’s had (plus the one on the way) with multiple women in recent years. “Cause I’m still running the streets/ I’m still all in the sheets,” he sings. “Having babies, models and singers and actresses saying they pregnant by me / Have to pay $10,000 a week, I take care of my peeps / Now you don’t worry when I creep / You got a man next to you when you sleep.” Nick and Mariah tied the knot in 2008. They announced their separation in 2014.

Chrissy Teigen trolls John Legend for his Valentine’s Day card

Back in 2020, John Legend and Chrissy Teigen celebrated their love with a Valentine’s Day excursion aboard a private jet to a three-Michelin star-rated restaurant in California’s Napa Valley. This year, however, Chrissy couldn’t help but troll her husband after opening his V-Day card. Let’s just say it had a little less “oomph” than you might expect from a Grammy-winning songwriter whose career was built on romantic, love-fueled ballads. The “Cravings” author shared photo of herself laughing hysterically while she holds up the card on Instagram on Feb. 15.It was a plain white note with the typed words, “Happy Valentine’s Day, My love!” John signed it with red heart, followed by “Johnny.” In her caption, Chrissy wrote, “dead. I guess he saves it all for the songs.” Fans apparently found the whole thing as funny as Chrissy did. “We appreciate your sacrifices for his music 😂,” one user joked. “So what is even the point of being married to john legend if this is what he comes up with for valentine’s day? What is the point?!” another person asked. As more people chimed with sarcastic replies — “Omg. Best, Richard,” someone teased — John eventually jumped in to defend himself. “You could at least show the beautiful flowers! 😂” he told his wife of nearly a decade. Unfortunately for John, that didn’t really stem the tide of comments from fans, a number of whom told him it was probably time to write Chrissy a song. Or, as one sarcastic user put it, “@johnlegend Yeah, show the pretty flower clip art on the back of the card AT LEAST! 😂.”

Bob Saget’s family files lawsuit to block release of death investigation records

Bob Saget’s wife, Kelly Rizzo, and his three daughters have asked a judge to block any possible release of photos, video or records pertaining to the comic’s death. The late comic’s family filed a lawsuit in Florida, where Bob was found dead on Jan. 9 in his Ritz Carlton hotel room, after undisclosed media outlets requested access to them, according to an Associated Press report published on Feb. 16. Bob’s death was ruled accidental after he was found to have sustained head injuries that suggest he may have fallen backwards and hit his head. A toxicology report showed no “illicit drugs or toxins” in the 65-year-old comic and actor’s body. As part of an investigation into his death and autopsy, the AP reports “the medical examiner’s office and sheriff’s office created graphic videos and photos,” plus audio recordings. While autopsy and other similar records are legally mandated to stay confidential beyond surviving family members in most cases in Florida, a court can approve requests to view or copy such records “upon a showing of good cause.” In their suit, the family’s lawyers argue they “will suffer irreparable harm in the form of extreme mental pain, anguish, and emotional distress if Defendants release the Records in response to public records requests or otherwise disseminate the records for any other reason or purpose.” The suit also notes “no legitimate public interest would be served by the release or dissemination of the records to the public,” according to the AP.

Kelly Clarkson jokes quarantining with her kids has ‘broken’ her

We feel you, Kelly Clarkson! Taraji P. Henson covered hosting duties for the singer on the Feb. 15 edition her eponymous talk show, because as Taraji told viewers, the show has “strict health protocols” and if you’re exposed to COVID-19, “you got to stay home — even if you are Kelly Clarkson.” Rather than try to host from afar while stuck at home with her kids, River, 7, and Remington, 5, Kelly video called in as a guest for a chat. Clad in a green robe, an eye mask and zero makeup, Kelly joked that things were getting a little dismal in quarantine, where River and Remington have the Disney movie “Encanto” playing on repeat. “Sometimes women don’t rise, Taraji. Sometimes we fall,” Kelly joked, according to ET. “I thought we were done with quarantining, and I’m so tired,” she told her guest host. “I broke a nail. I’m so broken. This is me broken,” she joked. “All my makeup is expired. America, this is what I look like. You’re welcome.” She explained that wasn’t sick, she was just “keeping it safe.” Kelly also admitted she’s not exactly using the time at home to catch up on things like putting away the Christmas decorations she said her producers noticed were still on display in her house. “Look. It’s busy!” she said with mock exasperation. “There’s a lot going on. And so, I have not had time … I couldn’t get the right containers. They’re on their way and I’m going to put it up,” she vowed. “But you know what, I’ve decided I’m probably going to keep the tree up and I’m just going to do different holidays, like Valentine’s Day. I’m going to be that crazy person! But you know what, judge away, America!” she cracked, adding, “I’m used to it.”

Robert Pattinson and Zoe Kravitz dish on their intense chemistry in ‘The Batman’

Even at the first “chemistry read,” “The Batman” director Matt Reeves says “everyone could see there was something really special between” Robert Pattinson, who plays Bruce Wayne and Batman in the new film, and Zoe Kravitz, who plays Catwoman in the upcoming film. Matt, along with Zoe and Rob, open about the stars’ connection in a new cover story for Entertainment Weekly. “The chemistry read was really intense,” Zoe recalls. “Rob was wearing the Batsuit, and it was a proper camera test with the DP there and everything on a soundstage. It wasn’t just reading lines in a room. So it was intimidating, to say the least.” Rob, wasn’t feeling much calmer than Zoe that day, as it turns out. “The first time I’d even said lines from the script was in Zoe’s screen test,” he tells the outlet. “They had this idea that they wanted me to be taller at the beginning, so I basically had high-heeled sneakers on, and I’m tottering around in this strange Batman outfit.” He continues, “The camera’s not even on me, it’s on the back of my head, and I’m literally having this major panic attack, just looking for emotional support from Zoe, who’s trying to get the part.” She did, of course, and their chemistry continued as they filmed. “There could be a lot going on in a scene, but if I was able to connect with Rob and look into his eyes, it would immediately bring me into the moment,” she explains. “I saw a look in his eye that I hadn’t seen before. Seeing something new and very vulnerable as well was really beautiful.” “The Batman” hits theaters March 4.
