CHER INVESTIGATES THE RAP WORLD

Love the fact that Cher seems to be having fun dating a new guy ! He’s a cute rapper-turned-music executive at Def Jam, and Alexander “AE” Edwards is only 36. He happens to be best friends with Kylie Jenner’s ex, Tyga the rapper. Tyga and AE are both players, hopping from one woman to the next. (AE confessed to cheating on his last girlfriend with over 12 women!) The guys are getting a kick out of the attention they get hanging out with Cher. Doubtful if it’s a true romance, but the three of them are having a good time partying!

RAPPERS BEWARE: MADONNA IS ON THE PROWL

Madonna is clearly single and out and about with girlfriends! She was at the now-famous Dave Chappelle performance at the Hollywood Bowl where he was tackled onstage last night. She probably had a close-up view of the event because she was wearing an all-access badge around her neck. Her comment: “Last night was so strange- the world is upside down.” Afterward she went to the Nice Guy and we have a feeling she’s in the mood for a new rapper boyfriend, judging by the way she was dressed: shorts with fishnet tights, a Balenciaga sweater, an LV scarf, and loads of neck chains- not to mention platinum braids…

PINK HAIR WORKS FOR MACHINE GUN KELLY

His hair is obviously important to Machine Gun Kelly so we hope he avoids catching Covid and losing some of it. He revealed his new look – pink hair -at a performance with Avril Lavigne at The Roxy this week and some of his fans were not thrilled. One fan griped “You aren’t Machine Gun Kelly any more!” Kelly HAS been wearing a lot more pink and even performed with a pink guitar. Some fans don’t like the fact that he seems to have gone from rapper to punk rocker since he took up with Megan Fox. We’re not sure where the manicures and pinky rings fit in…

CHET HANKS: “I’M THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY”

Musician/actor Chet Hanks is the first to admit that his father Tom Hanks’ clean cut image makes him look like a bad boy. Chet, 30, started off rapping at Northwestern University where he was actually in a fraternity. Besides music, he’s been getting steady work as an actor, with recurring roles on Empire and Shameless. He struggled with substance abuse and in 2015 he broke down and went to rehab for cocaine addiction. He’s had his share of girlfriend problems- involving restraining orders, lawsuits etc, so he’s definitely no Tom Hanks. But he’s been getting acting work – NCIS: New Orleans, and has a role in Tom’s film Greyhound. Above he showed up at Doja Cat’s album release party in Hollywood.

MG KELLY GOT BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN’S WIFE AND HIS CAREER!

Thanks to his highly publicized romance with Megan Fox, Machine Gun Kelly appeared on Saturday Night Live for the first time this week. Megan Fox spent the week in New York with Kelly while he was prepping for the show. We can only imagine how Megan’s soon-to-be-divorced husband Brian Austin Green felt – he was back home taking care of their three young sons. (The 3 boys all have pretty faces like Megan, but they have very long hair and sometimes wear skirts) Certainly Brian must have felt some pain knowing Kelly and his wife were celebrating the musician’s TV performance. Remember, Brian aspired to be a rapper early in his career, but it never happened. We wonder if he allowed the boys to watch Kelly on SNL- it was on at 8:30 in LA…

TYLER THE CREATOR: A NON-THREATENING RAPPER?

Here we go again with fashion madman Tyler the Creator. He knows how to get attention – he appeared in the slickly dressed crowd of celebrities at the LACMA gala dressed like THIS! The golf hat and khaki shorts are wildly inappropriate and got him a lot of attention. We have never seen a rapper courageous enough to dress like a nerd – and not a gold chain or diamond in sight! Most noteworthy are the Mary Jane shoes!

BOW WOW: THIS IS WHAT A RAPPER LOOKS LIKE TODAY

All we know is…rap has come a looooong way fashion-wise. Back in the early 90’s, no self-respecting rapper would have been caught dead dressed like a Beach Boy. It was Gangsta all the way. But Bow Wow, performing at the Flamingo Hotel pool in Las Vegas, looks really cute in his Hawaiian shirt, cut-off jean shorts, and white sneakers. But the facial scowl is still there…
