Exes Who Attended Awards Shows: From Jen and Brad to Selena and Justin

Stars often attend the same awards shows as their famous exes — it’s an occupational hazard. Whether the run-ins go well or not is up to the former couple at hand. Jennifer Aniston  and  Brad Pitt , for instance, knew going into the 2020  Golden Globe Awards  that they would both be in the audience. The Morning Show star was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series — Drama, while the  Once Upon a Time in Hollywood  star was up for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture. As such, Aniston and Pitt were more than cordial, with the  Friends  alum  cheering on her ex-husband when he won  his category. According to an onlooker, she “stood up and clapped for Brad’s win” and “sat down before some of the other people who were sitting near her.” The actress even laughed when Pitt joked, “I wanted to bring my mom but I couldn’t because any woman I stand next to they say I’m dating.” Scroll to revisit ...

Image
Jeff Buckley has scored his first hit on the US Top 100 charts after 32 years, thanks to a boost on TikTok. READ MORE: ‘It’s Never Over, Jeff Buckley’ review: hallelujah, this moving rock doc is celebratory not sad The song in question is ‘Lover, You Should’ve Come Over’ from his critically acclaimed studio album, ‘Grace’. Shared back in 1994, the record marked the only full studio album from the singer-songwriter, before he tragically died in 1997 of accidental drowning. He was aged 30. The track, while becoming a huge hit with fans over the years, wasn’t released as a single from the record. However, thanks to it getting a new lease of life on social media, it has found its way onto the charts for the first time in the 32 years since its release. It is currently sitting at Number 97 on the Billboard Hot 100 this week. The most popular song on the album, and one that helped put Buckely on the map, was the haunting cover of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’, but even that didn’t ...

Gisele Bundchen’s Easy-to-Wear Loafers Look Just Like This $46 Pair

Soon enough, it’ll be time to pack away your winter boots (yes, for good!) and opt for more lightweight, slip-on options. Among them should be a pair of genuine-leather loafers , which has the ability to instantly elevate your whole outfit. We got the idea from Gisele Bündchen , who recently wore the versatile shoe style that’s as comfortable as it is stylish. And we found a similar rich mom on-the-go option that’s surprisingly less than $50. We spotted Bündchen’s brown loafers in a video campaign she posted for Brazilian shoe brand, Democrata. In the ad, the model wore a classic trench coat, a white button down and relaxed shorts — but we couldn’t help but stare at her shoes. The Democrata style isn’t available as yet (and costs nearly $300), so we hunted down an affordable option , and are particularly thrilled with our findings. See it!
