Kylie Jenner Addresses Baby No.3 Rumors
Kylie Jenner is addressing the latest pregnancy rumors surrounding her and boyfriend Timothée Chalamet. During an appearance on her best friend Anastasia “Stassie” Karanikolaou’s podcast, Better Half with Stas & Vic, Jenner spoke about how she handles people creating their own narratives about her personal life.
During the conversation, Karanikolaou brought up how people on the internet always assume something is wrong whenever two people are seen together less often. Jenner explained that she has gotten used to people making assumptions about her life.
“I think that I’m so used to people creating their own narrative that I actually have to just laugh about it and I really don’t care,” Jenner said. She then brought up the latest speculation, adding, “People think I’m pregnant right now.”

The reality star made it clear that she does not feel the need to respond to every rumor that makes its way online. “I’m not going to address everything,” she said, explaining that she could simply be seen in a bikini or out somewhere and the rumors would eventually be squashed.
This is not the first time Jenner has faced pregnancy speculation. The first pregnancy rumor occurred in 2015 when she was 17 and was in a relationship with her then boyfriend Tyga. So having dealt with this, the reality star appears to be more relaxed about things like this, as she made it clear during the podcast “I just assume people will figure it out eventually, which is what they always do.”

Jenner, who shares daughter Stormi and son Aire with ex-boyfriend Travis Scott, has previously spoken about whether she wants more children. In March, she told Vanity Fair that she wanted to spend the remaining years of her 20s focusing on herself, her businesses, her work and traveling with her children, but added that she does want to have more kids.
More recently, Jenner opened up about the possibility of another pregnancy during a FaceTime conversation with her friend Yris Palmer on Hulu’s The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project. When surrogacy came up, Jenner said the thought of carrying another baby “right now feels insane” and that she was 99.9% sure she could not use a surrogate. She explained that she has had big, healthy babies and does not feel there is a reason for her to use one.

Jenner has been dating Chalamet since 2023, and although the couple keeps much of their relationship private, they have made several public appearances together. Chalamet has also spoken about fatherhood, saying in a 2025 Vogue interview that having children could be on his radar.
For now, Jenner’s latest comments suggest that the baby No. 3 rumors are just that rumors.

Dolly Parton Dies at 80
Dolly Parton, the country music singer, songwriter and actress has died at the age of 80. She passed away on Tuesday, August 25, in Nashville following a brief battle with cancer, according to her representatives. The news was announced through a video posted on her official Instagram page by her nephew, Bryan Seaver, on behalf of the Parton family.
In the family’s official obituary, Parton was remembered as “A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.”

Born on January 19, 1946, in Pittman Center, Tennessee, Parton was the fourth of 12 children. She grew up in a poor family and began singing in church and playing guitar before writing her own songs. She first sang on local radio at age 13, and issued her first single, “Puppy Love,” on the Louisiana label Goldband.
After graduating from high school in 1964, Parton moved to Nashville where she played in clubs and wrote songs for other artists before landing a major break when country singer Porter Wagoner invited her to join The Porter Wagoner Show.
Parton established herself as a solo artist with songs including “Joshua,” “Coat of Many Colors” and “Jolene.” She later wrote “I Will Always Love You” as a farewell to Wagoner after deciding to leave their partnership. The song became an even bigger hit when Whitney Houston recorded it for The Bodyguard in 1992.
By the late 1970s, Parton was looking beyond country music and “Here You Come Again” became her first major crossover hit, reaching No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and earning her first Grammy in 1978.
She began her movie career in 1980, when she made her acting debut in 9 to 5 alongside Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. The theme song for the movie became her first No. 1 single on the Hot 100 and earned her two Grammys. She also starred in The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Rhinestone and Steel Magnolias. She later returned to television and film, including the 2020 Netflix movie Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie.

Across her career, Parton received 11 Grammy Awards from 55 nominations, as well as an honorary Academy Award, a Primetime Emmy Award, and numerous country music honors. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 1999 and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022.
Beyond music and acting, she became involved with the Tennessee theme park in 1986. She later founded the Dollywood Foundation in 1988, through which she launched the Imagination Library in 1995. The program sends free books to children from birth until age five and has expanded across several countries.
Parton is known for her charitable work and in 2020, during the COVID-19 pandemic, she donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center to support COVID-19 vaccine development, including work that contributed to Moderna’s vaccine.

In May 30, 1966, Dolly got married to Carl Thomas Dean. The couple remained married for nearly 59 years before Dean died in March 2025. Parton announced his death via Instagram writing “Carl and I spent many wonderful years together. Words can’t do justice to the love we shared for over 60 years.”
Parton’s life and career were turned into DOLLY: A True Original Musical, which had a trial run in Nashville in 2025 and is scheduled to begin Broadway previews in December 2026. The production is set to open on January 19, 2027, what would have been Parton’s 81st birthday.
She is survived by her music, films and philanthropic work which will remain a major part of her legacy.

Simone Ashley Spotted With Soho Communications Executive Jay Jammal
Simone Ashley has sparked romance speculation after being spotted holding hands with Jay Jammal during a casual outing in London.
The Bridgerton actress was photographed with Jammal in Notting Hill on Sunday, August 23, as the pair walked through the neighbourhood with dogs. Their relaxed afternoon outing included the two holding hands as they made their way around West London, prompting interest in the identity of the man accompanying Ashley.

Jammal has been identified as a Senior Account Executive at Soho Communications, where he works across the luxury and hospitality sector. He joined the London-based agency in 2023 after moving from Denver, Colorado, and studied Strategic Communications at the University of Colorado Boulder. His professional background includes work with brands and organisations across hospitality, luxury, recruitment and communications.
Jammal keeps his Instagram account private, although Ashley currently follows him. His professional life is considerably more public, with his work at Soho Communications placing him within London’s luxury communications scene.
The outing has naturally raised questions about whether Ashley has a new relationship, particularly given the pair’s decision to hold hands in public. However, there has been no confirmation from either Ashley or Jammal about the nature of their relationship or how long they have known each other.

Ashley has previously been linked to businessman Tim Sykes after the pair were photographed kissing at the US Open last summer. Before that, she was in a relationship with Tino Klein, with the actress later confirming that they had gone their separate ways.
For now, Ashley and Jammal’s London outing is all that has been publicly established. The photographs show two people spending an afternoon together and holding hands, but neither has publicly described the relationship as romantic.
