Alleged text messages obtained by TMZ show that Lil Wayne spent several months trying to meet up with Teen Mom: Young + Pregnant cast member Rachel Beaver.
The interaction began last November when Beaver, 23, DMed the five-time Grammy winner while he was on TikTok Love. Beaver had noticed her followers debate Weezy's past encounter with fellow Teen Mom star Jenelle Evans when the chat dared her to shoot her shot.
"I texted him one night while drunk," Beaver told TMZ. "Everyone in my live [stream] was talking about the Jenelle and Lil Wayne situation, so I was like, 'Should I text him, guys?' Everyone said yes, so I did… and he messaged me back about a month later.
"Fly me out I won't say anything like the last one," Beaver's initial DM read, to which Wayne eventually replied to request her phone number.

Grammy nominee Tate McRae is continuing to take heat for her perceived **** ociation with the MAGA movement, after she refused to outright deny the speculation in a recent Variety interview in which she pointed to her support of LGBTQ+ and women's causes and said she thinks it's "pretty obvious" what side of the aisle she stands on.
Tate McRae attends the 2026 Met Gala.
McRae was asked about the **** umption—fueled largely by her rumored relationship with hockey star Jack Hughes and recent collaboration with country singer Morgan Wallen—and responded, "I like to say my piece through organizations I support," reportedly in reference to The Trevor Project, which focuses on suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth, and the Global Fund for Women, which supports gender equality movements.
McRae, a Forbes 30 Under 30 alumna, said she thinks it's "pretty obvious what kind of person I am and the things I support, and I hope that my fans can see that through the things that I'm putting my energy towards."
The singer has since been slammed for refusing to outright state that she's not affiliated with President Donald Trump's Make American Great Again movement, with online commenters suggesting her silence speaks "volumes."

Cher is dealing with a huge amount of personal and legal stress, and a source exclusively tells the National Enquirer that the music icon's friends are worried she might be at her breaking point.
The "If I Could Turn Back Time" singer, 80, recently learned she will have to pay more than $1 million in her own attorney fees after a judge denied her request to have Sonny Bono's widow, Mary Bono, reimburse the legal costs she incurred during their lengthy royalties dispute, per People.
Even though Cher won the underlying lawsuit over unpaid royalties, the court ruled that each side is responsible for paying their own legal fees.
"Cher is furious that she's having to shell out all this money, she doesn't understand how she can be on the hook for a million bucks when she won the case. It feels incredibly unjust," the source says. "She has the money, and she can pay, but it's the principal of it that's really upsetting her."
However, according to the source, the legal setback is only one piece of a particularly stressful time in the Burlesque star's life, and her main worries are due to her son Elijah Blue Allman.

A venue fit for royalty served as the backdrop for Meghan Markle's 2019 baby shower. On a snowy February day, the year before she and Prince Harry stepped back as senior members of the royal family, the **** ss of Sussex was showered with love by friends at New York's luxurious The Mark Hotel.
The 16-story neo-Italian Renaissance, landmark building, located on the corner of 77th Street and Madison Avenue in Manhattan, was designed by architects Schwartz & Gross in 1926. The property offers 106 rooms, 44 suites and three penthouses.
The Mark Penthouse on the hotel's 16th floor is where Meghan's baby shower was held. The penthouse spanning 10,000 square feet is the largest in the country. It features four bedrooms, four fireplaces, five full bathrooms, two powder rooms, two wet bars, a Technogym fitness room and spa, in addition to a 2,500-square-foot rooftop terrace complete with a cold plunge. Described as the hotel's "ravishing grand penthouse," the residence comes with a crown-worthy bill, costing $100,000 per night, plus tax.
Amal Clooney, Serena Williams, Gayle King, Daniel Martin, Jessica Mulroney and Abigail Spencer were among the guests who gathered at the penthouse for the baby shower to celebrate the **** ss, who was pregnant with her and Harry's first child, son Prince Archie, at the time. The festivities that day included flower arranging, with the flowers later donated to charity.
"My girlfriends surprised me with a really beautiful baby shower in New York," the Suits alum recalled in her and Harry's 2022 Netflix docuseries. "They're like, 'We're going to shower her with love and shower her baby"...and boy did they in style!"

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a private reunion with King Charles during their recent UK visit. However, according to a source close to the situation, the meeting reportedly came at a cost. It marked one of the few times the Duke and ******* ss of Sussex have seen the King in person since stepping back from royal duties in 2020.
Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet joined Meghan Markle and Prince Harry on a return to the U.K. this month for a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla. However, an insider told PEOPLE that the 44-year-old had a heavy heart following the family's first royal visit in four years.
In June, Prince Harry's team shared plans for a family trip to the U.K., but security issues threatened to derail it. Meghan Markle and their children were expected to attend events for the 2027 Invictus Games countdown.
But after learning they wouldn't receive police protection, the Duke went to London solo. The Sussexes forfeited their automatic taxpayer-funded royal protection in the wake of "Megxit". The family later joined him and had a private meeting with King Charles and Queen Camilla at Highgrove.
A source who knows the couple told the outlet that the sudden shift in plans put a damper on things for the As Ever founder. She was unable to attend any of her husband's scheduled public appearances.

Katie Couric revealed this week that she experienced an episode of Transient Global Amnesia in June, which first prompted the prolific journalist's family to believe she was having a stroke.
"There was nothing all that unusual about that Saturday morning. John went to work out, so I walked into town from his parents' condo in Aspen to go to the weekly farmer's market and get some iced coffee," Couric wrote in a Substack post, ******* led "A Day I'll Never Remember," published July 6. "I bought some beautiful peaches and nectarines, a big bag of kettle corn and a cute straw hat I really didn't need. I headed back, ate a bowl of cereal with one of the peaches, and got dressed for an afternoon at the Aspen Ideas Festival. I decided to wear a white linen suit, a navy and white knit sleeveless shirt, and my new hat. John drove with me to the campus of the Aspen Institute and was excited to go to the hot dog stand for lunch. (They're really good hot dogs!) That's the last thing I remember."

LOS ANGELES, June 29 (Reuters) - Taylor Swift may enter her marriage era this week.
The record-setting pop singer and her fiancé, National Football League player Travis Kelce, are widely expected to marry this week. They have made no official announcement, and Reuters ‌could not confirm a date or location, though the New York Times reported that city permits and other clues point toward a Manhattan ‌wedding late in the week.
Even without confirmation, excitement is building for one of the most anticipated celebrity weddings of the century.
"It is truly our royal wedding," said Elana Fishman, style and shopping director for the New York Post's Page Six, which has extensively covered Swift's career and love life. "Everybody's buzzing."

Royal watchers always look forward to Prince Louis' jovial antics at official royal events. While his antics are usually of the cheeky variety, there is one special moment between the eight-year-old royal and his grandfather,King Charles, that will go down in history as one of the sweetest ever.
Cast your mind back to the Queen's Platinum Jubilee in 2022. In a blink-and-you-miss-it moment, Louis fancied watching the goings on from the comfort of his grandfather's lap.
In the video which you can watch above, Prince Louis appears to shout "Pa!" at his father, Prince William, who relays the message to his father, King Charles. William then says, "Grandpa, can Louis sit on your knee?" as Louis cheerily skips onto the monarch's lap, leaving Queen Camilla in fits of giggles.
The King has an impeccable bond with all his grandchildren, not just with George, Charlotte and Louis, but with Camilla's grandchildren, Lola, Freddy, Louis and Gus.
"My grandchildren adore him, absolutely adore him," Camilla said. "He reads Harry Potter and he can do all the different voices and I think children really appreciate that."
