ARIANA GRANDE and PETE DAVIDSON have broken up. A “source” says, “It was way too much too soon.  It’s not shocking to anyone.” They started dating in May, just a few weeks after Ariana split from rapper MAC MILLER.  Within months they were engaged, living together, and getting matching tattoos.  But Mac Miller’s death last month hit Ariana pretty hard. There’s no word yet who keeps the $100,000 engagement ring, or who gets custody of Piggy Smalls.

 

RYAN GOSLING’s “First Man” bombed, opening in third place with $16.5 million. “Venom” took the top spot at the box office for the second straight week, with $35.7 million.  “A Star is Born” finished in second again.

 

JUSTINE BATEMAN is “100% against” a “Family Ties” reunion. She says, “The reboots and sequels has just gone really overboard now . . . I don’t think it’s the right way to go.”

 

KANE BROWN and his fiancée Katelyn Jae got married on Friday at a farm near Nashville. There were 200 guests AND a bouncy house.  Instead of writing out vows they exchanged letters to each other earlier in the day. He’s showing off a tattoo of her name that he got on the side of his hand.  It’s written in cursive with the bottom of the “y” curving into an infinity symbol. As far as a honeymoon, they’re all about peace and quiet.  “We chose someplace that we both love and can just completely relax and spend time appreciating nature, each other . . . and no cell service.”  He’s 24, she’s 26. They’re going to be off the grid for at least a couple of weeks.  His short film debuts November 2nd, and his new album will drop a week after that.

 

A year after Hugh Hefner passed away, fans will get the opportunity to purchase pieces from the his estate. Beginning on Nov. 30, items belonging to Hefner, including his iconic black silk pajamas, red smoking jacket, and white captain’s hat — which he was often photographed wearing — will be up for sale in a two-day auction by Julien’s. The Playboy founder’s symbolic jacket is estimated to sell for $5,000, while his pajamas are likely worth $1,000 to $2,000. All proceeds from the auction will go to The Hugh M. Hefner Foundation, which was established in 1964 to advocate for civil liberties and rights.

Jimmy Kimmel had Chris Stapleton on his show and he absolutely killed it on their “Wing It and Sing It” segment.  Jimmy explained that Chris used to love the show “Full House”, specifically John Stamos.
