Doja Cat Calls Out Timothee Chalamet Over Ballet, Opera Comments
Doja Cat is weighing in on Timothée Chalamet’s controversial comments about ballet and opera.
Chalamet, 29, recently drew the ire of the theater community after claiming in an interview that “no one cares” about the art forms anymore.
“Opera is 400 years old. Ballet is 500 years old,” Doja, 30, said in a TikTok video on Sunday, March 8, calling Chalamet out by name.
“Somebody named Timothée Chalamet — big guy, by the way — had the nerve to say on camera that nobody cares about it,” the “Paint the Town Red” rapper said. “I’m sure you can walk into an opera theater right now, seats will be filled out, and nobody’s saying a word as the performance is going because everybody has that much respect for it.”
She continued, “There is an etiquette around opera. There is etiquette around ballet. It’s amazing. It’s an amazing theater medium. It’s f***ing beautiful.”
Doja went on to praise people who work in ballet and opera for their dedication to their art.
“People go there every day to the dance studio. Dancers show up [at] 8 a.m., 6 a.m. whatever the f*** [time] they show up, and they break and they bleed every single day just because they have respect for it,” she said. “They love it, they love what they do. It doesn’t matter if the industry is having a tough time at any time … a lot of industries have a tough time. Your industry has a tough time. My industry has a tough time. Doesn’t mean people don’t care about it. People care. Dancers care. The singers care. The audience cares.”
“There’s still an audience. People give a f***. You show up in a nice outfit, you sit the f*** down and you shut the f*** up,” she concluded. “That’s the usual etiquette around those things. Maybe learn something from that.”
Us Weekly has reached out to Chalamet’s representative for comment.
During an interview with Matthew McConaughey for Variety last month, Chalamet talked about audiences seemingly having shorter attention spans.
“I admire people [saying], ‘Hey, we gotta keep movie theaters alive. We gotta keep this genre alive,’” he said. “I don’t want to be working in ballet or opera where it’s like, ‘Hey, keep this thing alive, even though no one cares about this anymore.’”
The Marty Supreme actor quickly added, “All respect to the ballet and opera people out there,” before saying, “Damn, I just took shots for no reason.”
The Oscar nominee has previously noted that several members of his family were ballet dancers, including his mom, Nicole Flender.
“My grandmother danced in the New York City Ballet, my mother danced in the New York City Ballet, my sister danced in the New York City Ballet,” he said. “I grew up dreaming big backstage at the Koch Theater in New York.”

As The Shade Room previously reported, on Friday, March 6, Blueface took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share a lengthy message that has now garnered over 3.9 million views.
“Jr is not my biological son RIP to his father Ronnie I can no longer continue the plot it doesn’t feel right as a present father in all my kids life to be discredited as a absence father to a child that is not biologically mine I tried my best to fill in the blanks because his biological father is no longer with us but I can’t continue the plot it doesn’t feel right,” he wrote at the time.
Chrisean Rock Responded To Blueface’s Claim That Her Late Ex, Ronny, Is The Biological Dad Of Chrisean Jr.
As The Shade Room previously reported, the following day, Chrisean Rock reacted to Blueface’s claim about Ronny being Chrisean Jr’s biological dad. Posting via her Instagram Story, Rock accused Blueface of referring to her and Jr. as “dumb” while appearing on a livestream with Plaqueboymax. Additionally, she denied his claim about Ronny and asserted that her main focus remains on raising Jr. in “peace, love, and protection.”
As The Shade Room previously reported, Ronny Doe, whose real name is Karon Makhai Cann, was the victim of a fatal shooting in February 2025. In December 2024, Doe had gone viral for approaching Chrisean Rock and accusing her of keeping Chrisean Jr. from him and denying his paternity.
After the viral incident, Doe alleged that he was waiting on the results of a paternity test to prove he was the father of Chrisean Jr, per The Shade Room. However, it remains unclear whether Doe was able to receive those results before his passing.

3 Great Movies to Watch If You Like The Bride!: Wild at Heart and More
One of the most famous horror movie monsters is all the rage right now: only a few months after Guillermo del Toro‘s Frankenstein, the Creature returns in a punk-rock-infused gothic romance.
From actor-turned-director Maggie Gyllenhaal, The Bride! is a Bonnie and Clyde-inspired reimagining of The Bride of Frankenstein set in 1930s New York City.
Jessie Buckley stars as the titular Bride, while Christian Bale plays “Frank” (AKA, Frankenstein’s monster).
If you loved The Bride!’s audacious, genre-bending mix of horror, romance and period drama, Watch With Us has three recommendations for you to check out next.
‘Repo! The Genetic Opera’ (2008)
In 2056, an epidemic of organ failures has wiped out the majority of Earth’s human population, and the world is beset by drug addiction and legal murder. This devastation gives rise to the company GeneCo., which provides transplants at a costly payment plan — and if you miss a payment, you’re hunted down by assassins called Repo Men who repossess your organs. Meanwhile, an ill young woman named Shilo (Alexa PenaVega) seeks a cure for her rare blood disease, not knowing that she is the illegitimate daughter of GeneCo.’s CEO (Paul Sorvino).
Repo! The Genetic Opera is based on the 2002 stage musical of the same name. While it failed at the box office and polarized critics, many feel that it’s destined to become a cult hit like The Rocky Horror Picture Show (it has indeed enjoyed midnight movie screenings). Though Gyllenhaal struck down speculation that The Bride! is a musical (although, apparently, her brother Jake does sing), the maximalist aesthetic, grisly, organ-swapping narrative and glam-rock vibes make Repo! The Genetic Opera feels connected to The Bride! in spirit, if not in practice.
Stream Repo! The Genetic Opera on Tubi.
‘Wild at Heart’ (1990)
After serving a stint in prison for a self-defense murder, Sailor (Nicolas Cage) reunites with his girlfriend Lula (Laura Dern) against the express wishes of her controlling mother, Marietta (the late Diane Ladd). When Lula agrees to run away to California with Sailor (even though it will break his parole), Marietta hires her on-off boyfriend, private eye Johnny Farragut (Harry Dean Stanton), to track them down. Little does Johnny know, Marietta has also hired another boyfriend of hers, gangster Marcello Santos (J. E. Freeman), to kill Sailor. But when Sailor gets involved with criminal Bobby Peru (Willem Dafoe), Peru may end up doing Santos’ work for him.
While Wild at Heart is no gothic horror, Gyllenhaal revealed in a recent press conference that David Lynch’s subversive love story served as a key inspiration for The Bride! That makes sense since Wild at Heart is a movie about two passionate lovers who can’t be separated, even though the world at large wants them apart, or worse, dead. Since The Bride! is about the Bride and Frank’s love sparking radical unrest, it’s easy to see how a movie like Wild at Heart would have been on Gyllenhaal’s mind.
Rent Wild at Heart on Apple TV.
‘The Bride of Frankenstein’ (1935)

Colin Clive, Elsa Lanchester and Ernest Thesiger in The Bride of Frankenstein Universal/Everett
Of course, you can’t really watch The Bride! without going back to the source: the 1935 James Whale classic, The Bride of Frankenstein. The movie is set immediately after the events of 1931’s Frankenstein, and follows the Monster (Boris Karloff) on the run from the people who wish to destroy him. Unfortunately, humans are ignorant of the intentions of the Monster, who has a good heart despite his appearance and lack of self-control. Meanwhile, Dr. Frankenstein (Colin Clive) is goaded by his mentor, Dr. Pretorius (Ernest Thesiger), into resuming his unholy creation of life — and creating a mate for the Monster.
Most critics and fans of The Bride of Frankenstein believe it to be a vast improvement over Frankenstein and a deeper, more mature exploration of the themes from Mary Shelley’s original novel. With atmospheric and expressionistic visual aesthetics, Karloff’s empathetic performances, Elsa Lanchester‘s iconic costuming as the Bride and a bold, creative story that explores isolation and humanity, The Bride of Frankenstein is an Old Hollywood film that still endures as a great work.

How The Pop Singer Reacted To The News Of Her Separation From Her Husband

Pink broke her silence on the circulating reports that she and her husband are no longer an item. As shared by The Blast, she hopped on an Instagram video, noting that she was alerted to the fact that she is separated from her husband without her knowledge.
“Thank you, People Magazine. Thank you, Us Weekly. Thanks for letting me know. I was wondering if you would also like to tell our children. My 14-year-old and 9-year-old are also unaware,” she noted.
She then continued that people should shift their attention to circulating news, the Epstein files, and systemic racism, among other things.

Pink And Carey Hart Previously Had A Brief Moment Of Separation

Two years after the couple’s Costa Rican wedding, they announced a breakup, stressing at the time that their relationship remained amicable despite their status.
Hart displayed a spirit of solidarity by making an appearance in Pink’s “So What” music video, which was largely inspired by their divorce. One year later, the couple made amends and revealed that their divorce was over.
Pink described the process as rebuilding and reconciling, which, interestingly, required them to take a few steps back in their marriage and finally forge ahead.
The singer had previously admitted in 2021 that long-term relationships are not easy, and it might even be easier to jump from one relationship to another.
The Media Personality Silence During Their 20th Wedding Anniversary Fueled More Rumors

Pink and Hart crossed the 20-year line in January, and what was supposed to be a loud milestone for the family was marked with deafening silence from the music icon.
The Blast noted that last year, the singer was much more vocal in her tribute to her better half, which even made her silence this year more confusing. What even made the whole situation more intense was the fact that the music star and her husband have not been photographed in public since September.
During the September outing, Pink and Hart appeared in New York City without their rings. A source, however, clarified that the couple loves to be contrarian sometimes, which means they like to have their way, and it has been their pattern throughout their union.
Article continues below advertisement
The source added that they also like to pull up surprises sometimes, as they are a unique couple who may split today and reunite tomorrow.
Pink Opened Up About Relocating To New York City With Her Family
The singer appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” on March 2, 2026, where she explained why she and her family made the big move to the Big Apple alongside their kids. She explained that her move was to ensure that her daughter, Willow, could study theater and experience more Broadway in its beauty.
She revealed on the show that Willow wants to do Broadway and become a trauma surgeon. Pink referred to her daughter’s past gig of performing in front of big crowds and musical festivals alongside her in the past.
Pink and Willow have previously performed the song “Hopeless War” from the musical “The Outsiders”. The mother and daughter duo delivered a powerful performance accompanied by a guitar and piano.
Happy married life to Pink and Carey Hart!

Victoria Woods Shares Strong Words For Scrappy & Momma Dee While Continuing Feud With Gloss Up
It’s unclear who reignited the beef between Victoria Woods and Gloss Up, as they both shared posts around the same time during the early hours of Monday, March 9. However, Woods took to her Instagram feed to share a video alongside a caption that tagged Gloss, “@glittergirlgloss let’s do a boxing match for 10k”
In the clip, Woods seemed to imply that Gloss started with her. She stated that the rapper “should be the last person coming for her.” From there, she appeared to refer to an apparent interaction that occurred during her recent appearance on a ’20 v. 1′ clip.
“B***h, you sent them h*es to try to do some s**t on the ’20 v. 1′ — them h*es swung and missed, and they ran, b***h. But you ain’t gon’ talk about that though, is it?” Woods said.
From there, Woods shared strong words mentioning Scrappy and Momma Dee.
“And Lil Scrappy lame ass — b***h, tend after that f*****g horse-mouth-ass momma you got, b***h, while you try to talk about, ‘Shawty, this, shawty, that.’ Go make some hits, h*e,” Woods said.
Woods ended the clip by challenging Gloss Up to “get in the ring.” Watch the NSFW clip by clicking here.
Then, she shared another clip with more words for Scrappy and Momma Dee. Watch that NSFW clip by clicking here.
Gloss Up Reacts As Their Feud Continues
In her initial response, Gloss took to Facebook to tell Woods to “Go get some d**k.” Then, she followed up with, “Btch Got Hit In Her Mouth & Didn’t Do S**t”
This prompted Woods to respond to Gloss with a carousel post on Instagram alongside the caption:
“you got clocked multiple times by multiple b!tches H03 stfu ‼️”
From there, Gloss shared a Facebook album post containing footage of an apparent physical altercation involving Woods.
At that point, Woods took to her Instagram to share a post of her sending her boxing request to Gloss, and Gloss declining via her Instagram Story.
Furthermore, Woods returned to her feed to share that she left Gloss “alone two weeks ago.” But if Gloss wants to continue with her, she’d post the clip of Gloss and GloRilla “fighting” and Glo “snatching” her wig “off.” Additionally, Woods said Gloss only wants to post videos of her altercations with men, while Gloss has had many unfavorable altercations with women.
Watch the NSFW clip by clicking here.
Furthermore, Woods also shared a second clip, alleging that Glo’s “beef” with JT stemmed from Gloss Up “being messy.” However, Glo and JT cleared things up, while Glo and Gloss went their separate ways.
At that point, Gloss responded via Facebook, with “MY POINT STILL STANDS !!! ATLEAST I FIGHT BACK !”
Then, on Monday, March 9, Gloss shared an NSFW video post of her “BFF” addressing Woods, and telling her to come to her for the “fade.” Hours later, Gloss reiterated via her Instagram Story that she will not be hopping in the ring with Woods.
As of Monday morning, Woods hasn’t publicly reacted to the footage of Gloss’s “BFF.”
Before Victoria Woods Shares Strong Words For Scrappy & Momma Dee, She & Gloss Had Previously Gone At It
As The Shade Room previously reported, earlier this year, things went left with Gloss Up and Victoria Woods. This, after Woods apparently called Gloss a “snake” while on a livestream. Initially, Gloss chose to stay mum on Woods’ comments. But Woods continued with her livestreams and mentioned that her relationship with her sister GloRilla became distant “because of Gloss.”
From there, Woods mentioned Gloss trying to clown her altercations with men, and things got taken up a notch when Gloss finally responded, printing NSFW, disparaging T-shirts with Woods’ caricature on them.

Dwight Howard Pops Out As Son Braylon Reacts To Amy Luciani
Dwight Howard was all smiles at an NBA game despite his brewing family drama that unfolded on social media. As previously reported, Amy Luciani accused her husband of coaching his son to lie to Child Protective Services (CPS), allegedly triggering the removal of her daughter from their home. After Amy’s emotional video plea went viral, Dwight’s ex, Royce Reed, hopped online with “I told you so” energy. Soon after, Royce and Dwight’s son, Braylon Howard, weighed in.

Braylon Howard Hopes His Dad Is Getting Help
As mentioned, Amy Luciani triggered responses from Royce Reed and Braylon after accusing Dwight of struggling with drug addiction and lying to CPS by forcing his 12-year-old to create a fake alibi. She went as far as showing a clear bag and a small silver vial allegedly filled with cocaine in her video. It’s unclear why CPS removed the girl from the home or what lie Dwight’s son was allegedly forced to tell.
Braylon Howard chimed in after his mother seemed to shade Amy Luciani for previously calling her crazy and jealous. On Instagram Story, Braylon shared a written post that said, “I told y’all.” Meanwhile, in a video on Sunday (March 8), he repeated his “I told y’all” comment and affirmed that his mother also gave warnings.
“But my momma crazy, my side of the family crazy, I’m crazy, my brother crazy, my sister crazy…I hope you getting the help you need, but I told y’all. My momma did too, especially. But it gets to a point you gotta learn to deal with certain things as you get older…that’s something right there I would never do…but you got it.”
Braylon also captioned that video, writing, “I rz hope yu gettin da help yu need dad but dis other stuff you doin gotta stop.”
Dwight Howard Appears Unbothered At NBA Game
Despite the drug and CPS-related accusations, Dwight Howard has not moved to clear the air. Instead, a video shows the NBA retiree grinning and waving at the Lakers vs. Knicks game on Sunday (March 8). He appeared to attend the game on his own at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Meanwhile, Amy has gone silent on Instagram.
Recap Of Amy Luciani’s Allegations
For context, Howard has five children, including Braylon, by five different women whom he welcomed between 2007 and 2013. One son, David, has been living with him since 2020 after the child’s mother died from an epileptic seizure, per PEOPLE. David and his brother, Dwight III, were both born in the same year, making them both 12. Dwight Howard also has two daughters, Layla and Jayde, who were both born in 2010. David is the child involved in allegedly lying to CPS, and Layla is the child who CPS removed from the baller’s home. In her now-deleted post, Amy claimed that because of Dwight CPS has been to their home three times in less than two months.
“I have personally had to call the police on him 3 times in a barely 14 month marriage. Every one around me told me you made a commitment though sickness and health and that played with my mind after I filed for divorce at 6 months. I came back because honestly I tried to listen to the married people around me who said it was too soon to walk away. But now. Look what I’ve gotten myself into.”

Meghan Markle’s As Ever Says ‘No Decisions’ on Global Expansion
Meghan Markle’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, has responded to a report that she is looking to expand into Australia rather than the U.K.
“This is speculation,” an As Ever spokesperson told Us Weekly on Monday, March 9, in response to a report by ITV News published Sunday, March 8.
“No decisions have been made about when or where international expansion might take place. Entering new markets is a considered process, but it’s something the brand is excited to explore as it continues to grow in this next phase,” the spokesperson added. “Watch this space.”
ITV News royal editor Chris Ship reported on Sunday that Meghan, 44, would be taking private meetings in Australia next month in hopes of launching As Ever internationally. So far, the brand’s products have been available exclusively in the U.S.
According to ITV News, Meghan and husband Prince Harry will visit Australia in mid-April, with the couple’s office telling the outlet that they will partake in “a number of private, business, and philanthropic engagements.”
As Ever launched in the U.S. in April 2025, with Meghan’s initial offering including raspberry jam, honey, flower sprinkles, crepe mix, shortbread cookies and a variety of herbal teas. The products dropped in conjunction with the first season of the Duchess of Sussex’s lifestyle series, With Love, Meghan, on Netflix.
Netflix was an initial investor in the brand but confirmed to Us on Friday, March 6, that it had ended its investment in As Ever.
“Meghan’s passion for elevating everyday moments in beautiful yet simple ways inspired the creation of the As Ever brand, and we are glad to have played a role in bringing that vision to life,” a Netflix spokesperson told Us. “As it was always intended, Meghan will continue growing the brand and take it into its next chapter independently, and we look forward to celebrating how she continues to bring joy to households around the world.”

An As Ever spokesperson said, “As Ever is grateful for Netflix’s partnership through launch and our first year. We have experienced meaningful and rapid growth and As Ever is now ready to stand on its own. We have an exciting year ahead and can’t wait to share more.”
Meghan’s Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, aired for two seasons and a holiday special in 2025. In August 2025, Meghan and Harry’s Archewell Productions signed a new first-look deal with Netflix for film and television projects, extending their partnership with the streaming service.
