MGK Pushes Back After Fan Requests Solo Rap Album
MGK isn’t interested in making a rap album just to prove a point, and he’s making that clear directly to fans. The conversation started when a fan took to X and shared what they hoped to hear from MGK’s next rap-focused project, writing, “what I want the most from kells with the rap album is for it to have no features on it. I want it to be solely himself showcasing his pure talent.” MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker but also goes by “kells” and “Machine Gun Kelly,” didn’t ignore the suggestion, but his response made it clear he’s prioritizing the music over expectations.

MGK Says He Has ‘Nothing To Prove’ As Fans Rally Behind His Creative Vision
“I will curate every song for the better of the song,” he replied. “So when I hear someone else’s voice on it in my head. I’m putting them on it. I have 0 interest in making a ‘I have something to prove, look how good I am at rapping’ album.”
Rather than sparking debate, MGK’s stance quickly earned support from his fanbase, many of whom praised his confidence and artistic clarity. “I absolutely have no doubt that kells will make the right creative decisions in his music!!!” one fan wrote. Another echoed that sentiment, adding, “Anything MGK brings out is dope he’s the goat no matter who on the track.”

Others pointed to MGK’s genre-crossing career as proof that collaboration is part of what makes him stand out. “And I think part of what makes you such a versatile artist is your ability to blend so well with so many other artists from so many different genres!” one supporter commented.

‘Lost Americana’ Includes Unexpected Megan Fox Songwriting Credit
The discussion comes on the heels of MGK’s most recent release, “Lost Americana.” Released on August 8, 2025, “Lost Americana” marked MGK’s seventh studio album and notably arrived with minimal guest appearances, only featuring Phem on “indigo.”
Aside from the limited features, fans couldn’t help but notice a track titled “Orpheus,” which is officially credited to co-writers Kelly and Megan Fox. The songwriting credit stands out, given the former couple’s breakup.

While their romantic relationship has ended, the two still co-parent their daughter, who will be turning one year old next month, and the shared credit suggests that creative ties between them haven’t been entirely severed. Kelly has long spoken about drawing inspiration from real-life relationships, and “Lost Americana” as a whole leans heavily into that.

MGK Gives A Vulnerable Look At Fatherhood And Regret On ‘Treading Water’
MGK also leans into raw vulnerability on one of “Lost Americana”’s most emotional tracks, “Treading Water,” where he appears to grapple with regret, loneliness, and the weight of personal mistakes.
On the song, Machine Gun Kelly predicts he will “die alone,” delivering some of the album’s most confessional lyrics. “This’ll be the last time you hear me say sorry / That’ll be the last tear you waste on me crying / I broke this home,” he sings, repeating the “broken home” line elsewhere in the track before adding, “I’ll change for our daughter, so she’s not alone.”
Confronting Deception And Fallout In Music
Later in the track, MGK references “pack[ing] up suitcases,” a line that takes on added meaning given his explanation of when and where the song was written. According to the artist, “Treading Water” was penned “in Room Three, spending Christmas in rehabilitation,” anchoring the track in a moment of isolation, reflection, and forced honesty.
Together, the lyrics come across as an honest confession, less about blame and more about accountability, growth, and moving ahead.

As the tour continues and fans speculate about what’s next, especially when it comes to a future rap album, MGK continues to make it clear that the music comes first.

Camilla Araujo is owning the bumps in the road and making it clear she’s not letting the internet’s noise derail her next chapter. In a new episode of her podcast featuring Julia Filippo, Araujo opened up about the rollout of her social media mentorship program, “Becoming Her,” admitting the launch didn’t unfold the way she imagined. Still, Camilla Araujo insisted the mess didn’t break her momentum and claimed she’s already seeing real wins inside the community.

Camilla Araujo Admits ‘Becoming Her’ Launch ‘Did Not Go As Expected’ After Months of Anxiety
While reflecting on the months leading up to her big release, Araujo confessed she was dealing with intense anxiety behind the scenes, even as she tried to stay excited about what she was building. “The months leading up to me dropping ‘Becoming Her’, I was like really ill,” she said. “Like I was so anxious the whole time because I was so excited about it.”
But even with all the prep work, Araujo admitted the launch itself didn’t hit the way she hoped. “Obviously, launch did not go as expected,” she said, before adding, “but we keep going. We keep pursuing. We keep pushing through.”

Araujo Opens Up About The Mental Toll Of Online Criticism
As she and Filippo talked through internet culture and backlash, Araujo suggested that once the internet decides to “pound in,” it can mess with your head and motivation. “I feel like with anything when the internet just is just… pounding in on you, like it’s just so demotivating,” Araujo said. “Like it makes you… I don’t know.”
Filippo agreed, noting that online blowback can hit hard in the moment, even if you know you’re doing what’s best for you.

Camilla Araujo Says Watching Women Succeed Has Made ‘Becoming Her’ Worth It
Even while acknowledging the rocky start, Araujo gushed that the program has become one of the most rewarding projects she’s ever done, especially as she watches women in her community gain momentum. “I want to preface like it has been the most fun, rewarding thing I’ve ever done,” she said.
Araujo also pointed to the types of success stories she says she’s seeing inside the mentorship, including one example involving a young woman who allegedly started earning quickly. “We had this one girl, she’s like 19 years old,” Araujo said. “She made her first like three grand in a week or something like that… as a college girl.”

She said those stories are the reason she’s staying locked in, regardless of what anyone online has to say. “Watching these women win has been so f-cking incredible,” she said.

Araujo Says She’s Found New Purpose With ‘Becoming Her’
Despite the early chaos, Araujo told listeners she’s in a completely different headspace now and feels like she’s found a new purpose. “What matters is if I’m happy and I’ve just been literally thriving,” she said. “Like I’ve just had… I’ve been having so much fun with it.”
She also described the program as more than a business, saying it’s turned into a support system where members hype each other up and show up for one another. “It’s like a community, and they all text each other, and they’re like, ‘Hey guys, I posted a TikTok. You should come support me,’” she said.
Araujo added that the live calls have been especially emotional, and even had her close to tears. “I just did a live call today, and I was literally like on the verge of tears,” she said, explaining it’s been powerful “just hearing their stories.”

Camilla Araujo Pushes Back On Claims She Turned Against OnlyFans Creators
Araujo also hinted that the drama around the launch may have gotten tangled with another narrative she’s been trying to correct… the idea that she’s turned against creators on OnlyFans. “I think the one thing that got misconstrued in all of this was that I hate OnlyFans girls now,” she said. “That’s not it at all.”
Instead, she framed her pivot as a personal decision and said she’s simply on a different path now. “It wasn’t my passion,” she said. “It was just comfortability.”
Araujo Says Happiness Matters More Than A Perfect Launch
Camilla Araujo may be admitting the “Becoming Her” launch got messy, but she’s not treating that as a failure. Instead, she’s treating it as part of the process. And if her latest comments are any indication, she’s determined to keep building, with or without the internet’s approval.
“Your happiness is what matters, and you need to do what you feel is best,” she said.
Quinton Aaron’s family have shared a positive update on The Blind Side actor after he was hospitalized after suffering a “spinal stroke.”
Quinton, 41, is feeling optimistic amid his recovery and looking forward to watching the Super Bowl this Sunday, the Aaron family said via a statement shared with Us Weekly on Friday, February 6.
“Quinton is in a jovial mood, now laughing and smiling and is communicating to the best of his ability while he continues to recover,” the statement read. “He’s watching TV and getting ready to root for his favorite team this weekend.”
Previously, the Aaron family confirmed on January 29 that Quinton had been admitted to an Atlanta hospital after suffering a “spinal stroke.” Quinton’s legs had stopped functioning as he was walking up stairs in his apartment, and he had collapsed as a result.
The family said at the time, “We acknowledge that you’ve heard about Quinton Aaron’s condition. We appreciate the overwhelming love, support and prayers that Quinton has received over the past few days from his fans, the public and our concerned community.”
In the statement, the family shared details on the status of the actor’s health at the time.
“He is alert, aware and recovering. The Aaron family has a lot to deal with for the betterment of their loved one, but will be sure to keep everyone posted regarding Quinton’s health as we see fit,” it continued.

The family also noted that factual information regarding Quinton’s health will only be delivered by a “blood relative” via the family’s spokesperson and “lifelong friend” Liana Mendoza, urging the public to ignore misinformation from other sources.
News broke on January 25 that Quinton had been hospitalized. Days later, Quinton’s wife, Margarita Aaron, confirmed to TMZ that the actor was on life support but showing signs of improvement.
A GoFundMe page was set up by the Veterans Aids Network — an organization that Quinton has previously worked with. The page aimed to raise money to help support his family as he recovered from his health woes.
“Quinton is one of the kindest, most genuine people you could ever meet,” the GoFundMe page stated. “He shows up for others. He encourages, uplifts and gives freely of himself, often without asking for anything in return. Today, he needs us to show up for him.”
The page added, “Quinton has spent his life inspiring others, reminding us that compassion and humanity still matter in this world. Now, as he faces one of the hardest battles of his life, let’s surround him and his loved ones with that same compassion, strength and care.”
Quinton is best known for his portrayal of former NFL offensive lineman Michael Oher in The Blind Side. Tim McGraw, Lily Collins and Sandra Bullock also starred in the 2009 film.
The actor also suffered a previous health scare in the last 12 months. In March 2025, he was admitted to a hospital with a fever and a bloody cough.
Quinton suspected he was experiencing Type A flu in addition to pneumonia before his release.
The season of love —Valentine’s Day — is upon us, and what better way to celebrate than with the queen of romance herself, Jane Austen. Austen is widely regarded for her enduring, witty, and genre-defining love stories, such as Pride and Prejudice, which has been adapted multiple times for bothsmall and large screens over the years. While that may be her most popular work, thanks to Elizabeth Bennet and Mr Darcy’s compelling romance, several others also deserve as much attention, including her unfinished 1817 novel that was adapted into a three-part series.
Titled Sanditon, the British series ran from August 25, 2019, to April 24, 2023, on ITV in the U.K. In the U.S., on the other hand, it premiered on January 12, 2020, on PBS, followed by Season 2 on March 20, 2022, and Season 3 on March 19, 2023. In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, the Austen favorite is getting some extra love thanks to PBS, as it has been confirmed that it will be way easier to stream in the U.S.
Starting on Valentine’s Day, all three seasons of Sanditon will be available to stream free on PBS.org and the PBS app for a full month, ending on March 14, 2026. The historical drama joins a boatload of Austen adaptations that have become easier to stream this season of love. Sanditon was adapted by Emmy and BAFTA award-winning screenwriter Andrew Davies from Austen’s novel, originally called The Brothers, written only months before her death. It follows Charlotte Heywood as she moves to the quiet fishing village of Sanditon for a fresh start, only to meet Sidney Parker, a charming man who has ambitions to turn the tranquil seaside residence into a luxury resort.
Who Stars in ‘Sanditon’?
Rose Williams and Theo James lead the beautiful tale of Sanditon as Charlotte Heywood and Sidney Parker. They are joined by Kate Ashfield as Mary Parker, Crystal Clarke as Georgiana Lambe, Turlough Convery as Arthur Parker, Jack Fox as Sir Edward Denham, Kris Marshall as Tom Parker, and Anne Reid as Lady Denham. James left the series after Season 1, along with Mark Stanley and Leo Suter, who hadmoved on to new projects.
Sanditon begins streaming for free on PBS.org and the PBS app on February 14. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates.

Congressman Tim Burchett
Only Bad Bunny I Know Is My Late Horny Pet
Published
TMZ.com
Congressman Tim Burchett says he wouldn’t know Bad Bunny if the rapper walked up to him and asked to borrow his cell phone … and the only bad bunny he knows is his pet rabbit, who had sex on Christmas morning in front of his nephew.
We got the Republican representative from Tennessee at the Capitol Hill Club in Washington, D.C., and our photog asked about the Super Bowl LX halftime show performer.
Instead of wading into the BB conversation — which some folks are pissed the NFL went with him for the Big Game — Burchett shares a funny story about his late pet rabbit, who was seriously horny.
Burchett says he had a Flemish Giant Rabbit named Floppy and one Christmas morning, a friend with another Flemish Giant Rabbit brought their pet, Caramel, over to breed … the rabbits got locked in a cage together and started doing the deed.
As Burchett tells it, his nephew asked him what the rabbits were doing … and he balked in on talking about the birds and the bees.
Sadly, Floppy had a heart attack a short while later … though Burchett says the rabbit died doing what he loved.
RIP Floppy.

Meghan McCain is not holding back when it comes to sharing her opinion on why she thinks the axe fell on several daytime talk shows this week.
Taking to social media on Friday, February 6, McCain, 41, claimed the canceled shows weren’t interesting enough to remain on air.
“The reason all these daytime talk shows are being canceled is because they are sublimely boring and all the hosts want to be loved,” McCain, who previouslu cohosted talk shows The View and Outnumbered, wrote via X.
McCain said Wendy Williams, who hosted The Wendy Williams Show, which aired from 2011 until 2022, as well as appearing on The View, was a much more interesting option in the past because of her willingness to be outspoken.
Sherri Shepherd is speaking out after her daytime talk show was cancelled after four seasons. “Wow! I am completely overwhelmed by the outpouring of love for me and The @sherrishowtv,” Shepherd, 58, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, February 3. “You might’ve noticed that yesterday and today I was struggling because I wasn’t feeling up to […]
“Wendy Williams was the GOAT because she said the quiet things we all were thinking out loud. She was messy, raw, real and wildly entertaining,” McCain continued.
While McCain did not namecheck a specific show or host in her post, Kelly Clarkson and Sherri Shepard both announced this week that their respective talk shows would not be continuing past the current season.
Clarkson, 43, shared on Monday, February 2, that her eponymous show will come to an end after its seventh season which is currently on air.
“I have been extremely fortunate to work with such an outstanding group of people at The Kelly Clarkson Show, both in Los Angeles and New York,” Clarkson said in a statement to Us Weekly. “There have been so many amazing moments and shows over these seven seasons. I am forever grateful and honored to have worked alongside the greatest band and crew you could hope for, all the talent and inspiring people who have shared their time and lives with us, all the fans who have supported our show and to NBC for always being such a supportive and incredible partner.”

She continued, “Because of all of that, this was not an easy decision, but this season will be my last hosting The Kelly Clarkson Show. Stepping away from the daily schedule will allow me to prioritize my kids, which feels necessary and right for this next chapter of our lives.”
Despite the show’s axing, Clarkson insisted that “this isn’t goodbye” and shared that she will be still making music and making appearances on The Voice.
“You never know where I might show up next. But for now, I want to thank y’all so much for allowing our show to be a part of your lives, and for believing in us and hanging with us for seven incredible years,” she said.
The same day, Lionsgate-owned syndicated TV production company Debmar-Mercury confirmed that Sherri Shepherd‘s daytime talk show, Sherri, will conclude after four seasons.
“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production — which has found strong creative momentum this season — or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury co-presidents Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus told Us. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”
Actress Gabourey Sidibe is gearing up to film the upcoming 13th season of FX’s “American Horror Story.” In the meantime, she recently appeared on a podcast and responded to the now-viral 2022 clip of “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star Kathy Hilton, apparently mistaking the actress for Lizzo after seeing a photo of the singer. This has led many fans who once considered the clip a lighthearted mistake to now view it as the now-66-year-old being mean to Sidibe. Others believe it’s all a misunderstanding.
Sidibe is reacting to the widely discussed clip of Hilton mistaking her for Lizzo.

Gabourey Sidibe Was Confused By The Clip
Sidibe was on the One 54 podcast on February 4. During the episode, the “American Horror Story” actress discussed a range of topics, but one of the sticking points has been her reaction to Hilton’s confusion of her with Lizzo. This came during a part of the interview where the hosts asked, “Were you mistaken for Lizzo? I think that Paris Hilton’s mom…?”
She responded, “And that was weird because I have been to that lady’s house and had a meeting with her. I was like, ‘I know you, Kathy.’” The hosts then noted that “Lizzo’s tall.”

Sidibe added, “I’ve never met Lizzo, but Lizzo and I do different things. I’ve been confused for many a Black fat, like many, many, many women. And it’s always weird and tinged with racism. I did think that was weird, Kathy Hilton. Because I have been to that woman’s house and had a meeting with her, because she wanted to dress me. I was like, that’s so strange.”
From there, she mentioned that Hilton referred to her as “Precious” rather than by name. Notably, Sidibe played Precious in the 2009 film of the same name.

Kathy Hilton Went Viral For Her Initial Comments
Hilton appeared on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” in 2022 as a guest. While on, host Andy Cohen played a game in which he showed pictures of celebrities to Hiton, who would then identify them. One of the photos featured was of Lizzo. Upon being asked if she knew the singer, she said, “I feel like I do. Precious?”
Cohen replied, “No, that’s not…” Crystal Kung Minkoff, who was also on the show, tried to fix the situation, saying, “She is previous, though. Lizzo is precious.” This led Hilton to say, “That’s what I call her. Her nickname is Precious, to me.”

Comments On The Matter Were Divided
Following the clip of Sidibe making the rounds online, many social media users offered their opinions on what Hilton had said and how the actress responded. One person seemingly defending the now mother of two. They wrote on X, “But Kathy gets away with it as usual.” Someone else said, “And she has every reason to feel this way.”
However, some people defended Hilton, saying she mistook Sidibe for a model who goes by the name Precious. That person said, “I genuinely think she thought Lizzo was Precious Lee… Precious is a well-known plus-size model in the industry and runs in the same circles … I don’t see a world in which Kathy genuinely thought Lizzo was the fake character ‘Precious’ from a 2009 indie film.”

Someone else wrote, “It’s hilarious to me that anyone thinks Kathy even remembers a character from a movie that’s almost 20 years old. She confused Lizzo for Precious Lee.”
The Oscar Nominee Recently Became A Mom
Sidibe has been married to internet personality Brandon Frankel since 2021. The couple welcomed twins Cooper and Maya in 2024, and in April 2025, she opened up to PEOPLE about what she’s learned about balancing it all. Notably, this came as her movie, “Give Me Back My Daughter,” was set to premiere on Lifetime. Sidibe said, “I would say take the time to — it feels stupid to say — hold space for yourself.”
She continued, “Take the time and enjoy this peace, where there’s not a tiny human asking you for things at all times. But, [also] really remember who you are. Really take the time and take the space to do it, and re-fall in love with yourself, really. Because truly, motherhood is so consuming.”

The Actress Directed A New Movie
Career-wise, Sidibe recently directed her first television movie, Lifetime’s “Mary J. Blige Presents: Happy.” The movie will premiere on Lifetime on February 7 at 8/7 c. The cast includes Tisha Campbell, Mekhi Phifer, Russell Hornsby, and Nzingha Ashford.
According to Deadline, Sidibe was also announced in October 2025 to be returning to “American Horror Story” for its 13th season. Not much is known about the upcoming season, but reports indicate that filming will begin in early 2026.
