Family

Wouldn't you know it, Taylor Swift is related to a famous American poet ... none other than the late, great Emily Dickinson.

Taylor and Emily are sixth cousins, three times removed ... and they both descend from the same 17th-century English immigrant who settled in Connecticut ... genealogy company Ancestry told Today.

The common ancestor is Taylor's 9th great-grandfather and Emily's 6th great-grandfather ... with Taylor's side of the family living in Connecticut for 6 generations before moving to northwestern Pennsylvania and marrying into the Swift family tree.

While Taylor's the biggest star in the world, Emily was obviously quite talented too ... Dickinson wrote nearly 1,800 poems before her death in 1886 and she's widely regarded as one of the most important women in American literature.

Unclear if Taylor knows about the familial connection -- but it sounds like she may ... as she referenced Emily in 2022 when she won the Songwriter-Artist of the Decade Award from the Nashville Songwriters Association International.

In her acceptance speech, Taylor said ... "If my lyrics sound like a letter written by Emily Dickinson's great-grandmother while sewing a lace curtain, that's me writing in the Quill genre."

Swifties have also theorized Taylor's 2020 album, "Evermore," drew inspiration from Dickinson ... because there were plenty of Easter eggs.

Taylor announced the surprise album on Emily's birthday, and a few days before the album release she said the idea behind her "Folklore" album cover was a "girl sleepwalking through the forest in a nightgown in 1830" ... the year Emily was born.

Miley Cyrus was kept in the dark regarding sister Noah Cyrus' alleged prior relationship with Dominic Purcell -- who went on to marry Cyrus matriarch, Tish Cyrus, just last year.

The "Flowers" singer "had no idea" about the "Prison Break" actor's alleged fling with her sister ... and the wrecking ball it would bring to the family dynamic, according to People.

Since she found out, though, Miley reportedly confronted Tish about the drama ... and told her she finds the whole situation strange -- and we agree, FWIW.

Still, at the end of the day, Miley just wants her mom to be happy, and right now Tish's happiness comes from Dominic. According to the report, Miley has no plans to ice out her mom and stepdad.

ICYMI ... a recent report claimed 56-year-old Tish stole Dominic from her 24-year-old daughter, Noah, who is said to have had an on-and-off relationship with the 54-year-old actor.

While the love triangle timeline remains unclear ... Tish and Dominic have stayed noticeably silent on the matter, and things have been tense in the Cyrus fam for some time.

Noah and brother Braison infamously skipped Tish and Dom's Malibu nuptials in August. Miley's little sister even wore an eyebrow-raising Billy Ray Cyrus t-shirt at the time of the snub -- which kinda screams, "Dad's my favorite."

Miley on the other hand ... she walked Tish down the aisle and planned the whole thing -- but, apparently, without any knowledge of the alleged love triangle.

Miley Cyrus no sabía nada sobre la supuesta relación entre su hermana Noah Cyrus con Dominic Purcell, quien se casó con la matriarca de los Cyrus -Tish Cyrus- el año pasado.

La cantante de "Flowers" no tenía idea de la supuesta aventura del actor de "Prison Break" con su hermana. Esto va a generar chispas en la dinámica familiar, según People.

Desde que Miley se enteró, al parecer se enfrentó a Tish, y le dijo que encuentra toda la situación extraña... Francamente estamos de acuerdo.

Sin embargo, al final del día, Miley solo quiere que su madre sea feliz, y en este momento la felicidad de Tish viene de Dominic. Según el informe, Miley no tiene planes de alejarse de su mamá.

Por si no lo sabías, un informe reciente afirmó que la mujer de 56 años de edad -Tish- le quitó a Dominic a su hija de 24 años de edad- Noah-, quien ha tenido una relación intermitente con el actor de 54 años de edad.

Mientras que la línea de tiempo de este triángulo amoroso sigue siendo poco clara, Tish y Dominic se han mantenido notablemente en silencio sobre el asunto y las cosas han estado tensas en la familia Cyrus últimamente.

Noah y su hermano Braison faltaron a la boda de Tish y Dom en Malibú en agosto. La hermana pequeña de Miley incluso llevaba una llamativa camiseta de Billy Ray Cyrus en el momento del desaire, como gritando: "Papá es mi favorito".

Lala Kent just broke some big baby news ... she's pregnant with baby number 2.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star made the announcement Sunday night on Instagram, writing in a post, "I'm expanding my pod." Lala also posted a black-and-white image of her belly, proving she's got another bun in the oven.

Her first child, 2-year-old Ocean, was standing next to her with excitement in her face as she awaits the arrival of her new sibling!

As you know, Lala shares Ocean with her ex-fiancé Randall Emmett, who she broke up with in 2021 after she accused the film producer of cheating. Randall denied the allegations.

This time, Lala has taken a different road on the baby front, using intrauterine insemination -- a treatment that surgically implants sperm in a uterus to fertilize an egg. Lala has publicly discussed conceiving her second child with this method.

In Sunday's IG post, Lala uploaded another photo showing her holding a spoon out to Ocean, who was standing on a chair at a counter with two vitamin bottles on top.

She captioned this image by celebrating her "new addition" to the family, while receiving a flood of well wishes in the comments section. 'Real Housewives of Orange Country' star Heather Dubrow even gave Lala a shout-out.

Mathew Knowles says his daughter Beyoncé knows all about the world of hair care ... 'cause he and her mama Tina ran the best salon in The Bayou City -- according to him.

We caught up with Knowles in NYC Tuesday and asked about Bey's blossoming hair care line Cécred ... which has drawn some criticism online since Queen Bey wears hair extensions, leading some to question what she knows about taking care of natural hair.

Lots of fans are rushing to Bey's defense online, but there are still some out there who say they won't buy the product 'cause they're not sure they know what her real hair looks like.

But, Mathew's saying none of that should matter 'cause she should know all about how to keep hair happy and healthy -- after all, he and Tina Knowles ran the best salon in Houston for nearly two decades

Of course, we had to ask MK about former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland walking off the set of "TODAY" -- and he says it's totally out of character for her.

Kelly bailed on guest hosting "TODAY" because she wasn't satisfied with the dressing room.

Knowles said he views Kelly as a daughter, and he can't imagine her ever having a diva attitude ... so, seems like he's firmly on KR's side.

Mathew Knowles dice que su hija Beyoncé sabe todo sobre el mundo del cuidado del cabello, porque él y su mamá Tina dirigieron el mejor salón de belleza en The Bayou City, según él.

Nos pusimos al día con Knowles en Nueva York el martes y le preguntamos acerca de la floreciente línea de cuidado del cabello de Bey que ha suscitado algunas críticas en línea, ya que Queen Bey lleva extensiones en el cabello, llevando a algunos a cuestionar lo que sabe sobre el cuidado del cabello natural.

Muchos fans se apresuran a la defensa de Bey en línea, pero todavía hay algunos por ahí que dicen que no van a comprar el producto porque no están seguros de saber cómo es su pelo real.

Sin embargo, Mathew dice que nada de eso debería importar porque ella debe saber todo acerca de cómo mantener el cabello feliz y saludable, después de todo, él y Tina Knowles dirigieron el mejor salón de Houston durante casi dos décadas

Por supuesto, tuvimos que preguntarle a Mathew sobre la ex integrante de Destiny's Child Kelly Rowland caminando fuera del set de "TODAY", y él dice que es a ella le falta mucho carácter.

Kelly abandonó el programa "TODAY" porque no estaba satisfecha con el vestuario.

Knowles dijo que ve a Kelly como una hija y que no puede imaginarla nunca teniendo una actitud de diva, así que parece que está firmemente de su lado.

Tori Spelling and her estranged husband Dean McDermott aren't reunited as a couple, but they're at least on public speaking terms again ... based on some new pics.

The exes were together in a park in Agoura Hills, CA -- it's the first time they've been seen photographed together in nearly a year. Both of them were dressed very casually, and most of the convo seemed pretty chill.

However, there were also what seemed like some tense moments during their chat. Tori and Dean have 5 kids together, so co-parenting issues were likely among the things they discussed.

But, there's plenty more for them to catch up about, too. For instance, Dean moving on ... he's reportedly living with new GF Lily Calo ... while Tori and the kids have moved into a new home, which reportedly rents for $15k/month.

They announced their separation last summer on social media, ending 17 years of marriage.

Since then, Dean has spent time in a sober living facility ... after admitting last November he'd had a drunken altercation with Tori.

Tori Spelling y su marido Dean McDermott no se han reunido como pareja, pero al parecer todavía tienen cosas que solucionar... todo esto basándonos en algunas fotos nuevas.

Los ex estuvieron juntos en un parque en Agoura Hills, California, y es la primera vez que han sido fotografiados juntos en casi un año. Ambos estaban vestidos muy informal y la mayor parte de la conversación parecía bastante relajada.

Sin embargo, también hubo momentos de tensión durante la charla. Tori y Dean tienen 5 hijos juntos, por lo que las cuestiones de co-paternidad fueron probablemente temas delicados a discutir.

Pero tienen muchas cosas más para ponerse al día. Por ejemplo, Dean sigue adelante, se informa que está viviendo con su nueva novia Lily Calo, mientras que Tori y los niños se han mudado a una nueva casa, que al parecer alquila por $15k al mes.

Anunciaron su separación el pasado verano en redes sociales, poniendo fin a 17 años de matrimonio.

Desde entonces, Dean ha pasado tiempo en un centro de vida sobria, después de admitir el pasado noviembre que había tenido un altercado borracho con Tori.

Tish Cyrus is looking back at her parenting and seeing ways she could've improved ... chief among them, rolling up a joint and mellowing out a bit!

The mother of Miley and Noah Cyrus opened up about her parenting skills on a recent episode of her "Sorry We're Stoned" podcast ... telling guest Wiz Khalifa she regrets not doing some toking back when her kids were growing up.

The way Tish puts it ... she didn't pick up the Mary Jane until she was in her mid-40s, years after her kids were in their teens -- so she feels she wasn't as much fun as she could've been with a little pot.

Tish's daughter Brandi -- seated right alongside her mom -- said she probably woulda chilled out about a few things too ... a jab Tish couldn't have agreed with more.

BTW ... Wiz also has a song about smoking weed with Miley Cyrus titled "23" which came out in 2013 -- a song that made a then-anti-marijuana Tish really upset!

It's a bit ironic Tish is looking back on her parenting ... since a lot of people online are currently gossiping about her relationship with her daughter Noah.

Remember ... reports surfaced earlier this week that Noah was actually dating Tish's new husband Dominic Purcell first -- before Mama Tish swooped in and stole him away.

The Cyrus family's dealing with a ton of issues ... with Miley not thanking Billy Ray Cyrus in her Grammys acceptance speech and Noah reportedly estranged from TIsh.the

Esta es una imagen rara por estos días: Kyle Richards y Mauricio Umansky saliendo juntos por la ciudad, aunque esta no es una señal de que sus problemas matrimoniales se hayan suavizado, es solo que son buenos padres.

La separada pareja se reunió públicamente en Bel Air para celebrar el cumpleaños 16 de su hija Portia. La familia fue vista saliendo de un restaurante el jueves por la noche y Mauricio llevaba lo que parecía una caja de regalo o pastel e incluso condujeron a casa juntos.

Kyle estaba detrás del volante de su SUV, y Mauricio viajó en el asiento de copiloto. Esta es la primera vez que los vemos juntos en mucho tiempo, en medio de lo que ha sido una separación muy pública, que anunciaron el verano pasado.

Desde que comenzó a emitirse la nueva temporada de "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills", hemos visto a Kyle trazar una línea en la arena, insinuando en el programa que su matrimonio de 27 años podría estar llegando a su fin.

En una escena, le dijo a Dorit Kemsley: "Si no hay esfuerzo, no vamos a terminar juntos".

Mientras Mauricio y Kyle siguen viviendo bajo el mismo techo, Kyle ha estado saliendo con Morgan Wade, que ella insiste que es solo una amiga, y hemos visto a Mauricio de fiesta en Aspen con otras mujeres.

La pareja hizo pública su separación en julio de 2023, pero desde entonces han estado de vacaciones un par de veces juntos como familia, incluyendo un viaje de vacaciones a Aspen poco después de la salvaje noche de Mauricio allí.

Here's a rare sight these days ... Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky hitting the town together -- but it's not a sign they've smoothed out their marital issues, it's just that they're great parents.

The separated couple publicly reunited in Bel Air to celebrate their daughter Portia's 16th birthday. The fam left a restaurant together Thursday night -- Mauricio was carrying what seemed like a gift or cake box ... and they even drove home together.

Kyle was behind the wheel of their SUV, and Mauricio rode in the passenger seat. It's the first time we've seen them out together in a long time ... amid what's been a very public separation, which they announced last summer.

Since the new season of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" started airing, we've seen Kyle draw a line in the sand ... hinting on the show that their 27-year marriage might be coming to an end.

In one scene, she told Dorit Kemsley, "If there's no effort, we're not going to end up together."

While Mauricio and Kyle are still living under the same roof, Kyle's been hanging with Morgan Wade, who she insists is just a friend -- and we've seen Mauricio partying hard in Aspen with other women.

The couple went public with their separation in July 2023, but since then they've been on vacay a couple of times together as a family -- including a holiday trip to Aspen ... shortly after Mauricio's wild night out there.

Tish Cyrus and Dominic Purcell are battening down the hatches -- refusing to respond to man-stealing rumors involving Noah Cyrus -- but they're also not hiding from cameras.

The married couple was out for a stroll Friday in Toluca Lake, CA, keeping the vibe very casual ... Tish wore a grey hoodie, joggers and a trucker cap -- while the former "Prison Break" star opted for a navy tracksuit.

Tish and Dominic took in some fresh air with a pal ... perhaps attempting to clear their heads from the swirling drama that's come after a wild report this week.

If you missed it ... the story claims Tish swooped in and stole Dominic from her 24-year-old daughter Noah, following her split from Billy Ray Cyrus.

Tish reportedly began connecting with DP in his DMs while he was dating Noah -- and there was also a suggestion of possible overlap ... a period when he was dating both mom and daughter.

Noah hasn't addressed the whole saga ... and ditto for her mother and, dare we say it, stepdad. In the wake of the report, the rumor is this is why Noah skipped Tish and Dominic's wedding last August.

We've known that Tish is estranged from Noah, but now it also appears her other daughter, Miley Cyrus, is feuding with dad Billy Ray.

La hermana de Hailey Bieber, Alaia Baldwin Aronow, fue arrestada en Georgia a principios de esta semana. La policía afirma que fue parte de una pelea salvaje en un bar donde, entre otras cosas, se lanzaron tampones.

La influencer fue arrestada el sábado por la noche en Savannah, Georgia, después de que el propietario de un bar llamado Club Elan llamara al 911 para informar de un cliente revoltoso que, según él, estaba atacando a su personal y se negaba a abandonar el establecimiento. Resulta que la policía dice que esa persona era Alaia.

De acuerdo con el informe de la policía obtenido por TMZ, cuando los oficiales llegaron, se reunieron con dos tipos diferentes y uno de los camareros y todos tenían una historia similar.

Le dijeron al policía que Alaia había entrado en un baño solo para empleados, y cuando le dijeron que no podía estar allí y tuvo que usar el baño público, supuestamente comenzó a dar problemas, y finalmente la han acusadado de agredir a tres empleados.

Un guardia de seguridad afirma que ella le arrancó el pelo de la cabeza cuando trató de forcejear con ella, y otro guardia alega que ella le dio una patada en la ingle cuando trató de hacer lo mismo.

Una camarera le dijo a la policía que ella misma entró en el baño de empleados -tratando de mostrar discreción por Alaia al parecer- y afirma que le dijeron que Alaia necesitaba un minuto para vomitar y cambiarse el tampón. La empleada dice que esperó un rato y cuando volvió a entrar de nuevo, ella afirma que Alaia le lanzó un tampón.

Finalmente, el personal de seguridad dice que fueron capaces de conseguir un asimiento de ella y sacarla del edificio y el oficial que responde dice que cuando le preguntó a Alaia sobre todo esto, ella afirmó que se estaba defendiendo y que todo el asunto fue sacado de proporción.

Al final, fue detenida por varios cargos: agresión simple, agresión simple, agresión y allanamiento de morada. También posó para esta foto en la cárcel.

Si la ropa de Bianca Censori te ha llamado la atención, imagina ser su padre... quien ha visto todo y parece que está muy enfadado al respecto.

Fuentes cercanas a Bianca le dijeron a Daily Mail que su padre, Leo, quiere sentarse a charlar con Kanye West para discutir los trajes que su hija está usando.

De acuerdo con el informe, Leo quiere preguntarle a Ye a quemarropa cómo es posible que pueda pasear a su esposa con ropa apenas transparente como un "trofeo desnudo de mala calidad", no son exactamente las palabras que cualquiera querría escuchar de su suegro.

Al parecer, Leo también quiere preguntarle a Ye si le parecería bien que sus hijas se pasearan por ahí con ropa igual de transparente cuando crecieran, porque francamente, lo duda.

Como ya hemos dicho, Bianca está sorprendiendo constantemente con su moda y recientemente lo mostró todo usando medias transparentes.

Definitivamente, ha dado de qué hablar, pero no es la primera vez que lleva ropa reveladora, ¿recuerdas cuando estaba totalmente desnuda en un impermeable o los bodys que usó en Italia? Claramente no es de las que se abrigan.

Obviamente, Leo parece pensar que Kanye está forzando a su hija, similar a lo que se comenta en línea.

Leo también tiene muchas ganas de preguntarle a Ye por qué está aparentemente aislándola de su familia, por lo tanto, suena como que el querido papá cree que Ye está controlando a Bianca en múltiples ámbitos de la vida.

¡Tomaremos incómodas charlas familiares por $800, Alex!

Hailey Bieber's sister, Alaia Baldwin Aronow, was arrested in Georgia earlier this week over what cops claim was a wild brawl at a bar -- which involved used tampons being hurled.

The influencer was busted Saturday night in Savannah, GA after the owner of a bar called Club Elan called 911 to report an unruly patron whom he claimed was attacking his staff and refusing to leave the establishment. As it turns out ... cops say that person was Alaia.

According to the police report, obtained by TMZ, when officers arrived ... they met with two different bouncers and one of the bartenders there -- all of whom had a similar story.

They told the cop that Alaia had gone into an employees-only bathroom, and when she was told she couldn't be in there and had to use the public restroom -- she allegedly started becoming belligerent and combative ... and she's accused of assaulting three staffers.

One security guard claims she yanked hair out of his head when he attempted to wrangle her, and another guard alleges she kicked him in the groin when he tried doing the same.

A female bartender told cops she went into the employee bathroom herself at one point -- trying to show discretion for Alaia apparently -- and claims she was told Alaia needed a minute to throw up and change her tampon. The staffer says she waited for a while ... and when she reentered again to check on Alaia, she claims Alaia threw a tampon at her.

Eventually ... the security personnel says they were able to get a hold of her and get her out of the building -- and the responding officer says when he asked Alaia about all this, she claimed she was defending herself ... and that the whole thing was blown out of proportion.

In the end, she was arrested on a number of charges -- getting booked for simple assault, simple battery, battery and trespassing. She also posed for this mug shot at the jail.

If Bianca Censori's racy, barely-there outfits have your eyes popping, imagine being her father ... who's seen all the worldwide attention, and it sounds like he's pretty enraged about it.

Sources close to Bianca told Daily Mail that her dad, Leo, wants to sit down for a chat with Kanye West to discuss the outfits his daughter's wearing ... and these sources are saying he's outright gonna go on a tirade if he does get face time with him.

According to the report, Leo wants to ask Ye point-blank how he could possibly march his wife around in barely-there clothes like some "trashy naked trophy pony" -- not exactly the words anyone would wanna hear from their father-in-law.

Leo also apparently wants to ask Ye if he'd be cool with his daughters walking around wearing similarly sheer clothing when they grow up -- 'cause quite frankly, he doubts it.

As we've told ya ... Bianca's constantly pushing the envelope with her fashion, recently going as far as straight-up flashing her vagina while wearing sheer tights.

She's definitely going further and further with each new outfit, but it's not like this is the first time she's worn super revealing clothing -- remember her being totally naked in a raincoat or all the nude-colored bodysuits in Italy? She's not the bundling-up type.

Obviously, Leo seems to think Kanye's forcing all of these choices on his daughter ... similar to online buzz that sparked up a few months back about Ye taking away his wife's free will.

Leo's also reportedly keen on asking Ye why he's seemingly shutting her off from her family ... so, it sounds like dear ol' Dad believes Ye's controlling Bianca in multiple arenas in life.

We'll take uncomfortable family chats for $800, Alex!
