Love may be in the air for Kelis and comedian-actor Bill Murray. 

According to Vibe, the unlikely pair are reportedly dating. Rumors about their romance sparked after the 72-year-old watched the 43-year-old singer perform in London last week from the side of the stage, The Sun reported. 

The comedian has been spotted watching several performances, including her set at the Mighty Hoopla festival in Brockwell Park, South London.

Amid his hospitalization, Good Times star John Amos denies his daughter’s claims about him being a victim of elder abuse and financial exploitation. 

On Thursday, Shannon Amos made shocking accusations her father was fighting for his life and had been victimized by people she called “caregivers.” 

According to TMZ, Shannon said she received a phone call from her father last month stating he was hospitalized in Memphis. Shannon was out of the country then and claimed her father was in “unbearable pain.” 

Rap legend Bun B is giving his hometown of Houston another reason to love him. The rapper recently opened the first physical location for his award-winning burger restaurant, Trill Burger, in the Montrose neighborhood.

Houston Eater said the new 3,236-square-foot location is more of an “extended pop-up” for the restaurant. The rapper and his partners will flip burgers there for six months while finding a permanent spot. In the meantime, the restaurant located at 3607 S. Shepherd Dr. will be open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

The new location features a drive-thru and formerly housed Houston’s oldest James Coney Island location. A RIP mural of Bun B’s best friend and longtime rap partner, Pimp C, looks over the restaurant’s 125 seats.

“It’s been a dream for us, and it’s actually coming true,” the 50-year-old rapper said. “It’s been our sole goal to open up an establishment where we can serve you guys Trill Burgers consistently at a high level on a daily basis. And now we’re ready to do it. We are now officially open for business, ready to serve you.”

The iconic rapper posted videos on Instagram documenting the location’s opening day.

Viral TikTok sensation Keith Lee is continuing his efforts of highlighting and supporting Black-owned restaurants in a major way.

Pepsi Dig In is a platform designed to drive access, business growth and awareness for Black-owned restaurants. It is kicking off its latest call for submissions for its Restaurant Royalty program.

The brand has partnered with Lee to promote the second year of Restaurant Royalty. The TikTok food critic boasts over 12 million followers. 

The program recognizes the country’s best Black-owned restaurants, and Lee’s influence will help transform restaurant owners’ lives and businesses with his posts.

“Pepsi Dig In began as a platform that started with the Restaurant Royalty programs specifically to help Black-owned restaurants around the nation, highlight them, and really allow the people who follow me and foodies who follow me to nominate their favorite Black bar or restaurant,” Lee said in a recent, exclusive interview with Blavity. “It’s going to be super dope!”

Lee started his TikTok career during the pandemic to help him with his social anxiety. The professional UFC fighter hoped recording himself would help him with interviews and personal interactions. The self-proclaimed “foodie” merged his love of food with his new recording goal and began posting one daily food review. Since then, the Las Vegas-based influencer has been instrumental in helping restaurants nationwide.

There are few relationships as special as best friends. That unique bond is an integral part of the human experience — best friends enrich lives and, for many, save them too. Best friends are so important that, in 1935, the U.S. Congress decided to celebrate the bond between BFFs every June 8, National Today reported. Since then, National Best Friends Day has encouraged people around the world to spend time with their bestie and tell them they love them.

To honor the holiday, we put together a list of our favorite celebrity BFFs. Read on to learn more about their close bonds.

Anita Baker wants to set the record straight when it comes to her business relationships and rumored feuds. The 65-year-old went to Twitter on Tuesday to address the alleged conflict she recently had with Babyface. Baker, who has been facing backlash since May for allegedly blocking Babyface from opening for her at the Songstress Tour in Newark, New Jersey, replied to people who continue to blame her for how the situation unfolded at the concert.

“Dear Sir, Live Nation, took Full responsibility,” Baker said in response to one person’s tweet. “I Went on My Stage, at the appropriate time. Did my job without benefit of full production.”
