While I have been asking myself “how many naps is too many naps?”, Hollywood has been busy.
Kacey Musgraves has filed for divorce
Grammy winning singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves filed for divorce from husband Ruston Kelly on July 2. Despite sharing with Instagram that they have “a soul connection that can never be erased” – which is exactly how I describe my relationship with cheesecake – the singer stated “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for divorce. The couple wed in October 2017 and their marriage served as inspiration for her album of the year Grammy win, Golden Hour.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith open up about their relationship

In summary, Will and Jada briefly separated, Jada had a relationship with August, and then Will and Jada got back together. It’s widely been speculated that they have an open marriage or one that includes a lot of infidelity. They concluded the episode with a Bad Boys quote, “We ride together, we die together.

E! News host Morgan Stewart and musician Jordan McGraw (son of Dr. Phil), got engaged on July 4. Dr. Phil and his wife, Robin, shared celebratory messages on the couple’s Instagram photos and gifted their son a $10-million mansion for the duo to live in.

Kim Kardashian West sells stake in company
Kim sold 20 per cent stake in her company KKW Beauty to Coty for $200 million. According to Forbes, the deal makes Kim Kardashian West worth approximately $900 million. It is very similar to the deal I struck with my husband where he picks up 100 per cent of our dog’s poop and I hold the leash. Except that deal is priceless.
With many businesses still closed and the pandemic still very much present in our lives, following the news of celebrities is a much-needed activity right now.
