Romance rumors hit Demi Lovato, G-Eazy as fans wonder if he cheated on Halsey
Is Demi Lovato seeing newly single rapper, G-Eazy? In an oddly unexplained, last-minute switch, Us Weekly took down a story claiming Demi and G-Eazy were spotted holding hands as they left the Warwick in Hollywood around 2 a.m. on Saturday, July 14. Cosmo points out the photo the outlet used didn't show G-Eazy's face, making the report a bit dubious. But given some of Halsey's recent statements (and tears) about splitting from her boyfriend of nine months this summer, it does seem as if the singer is coming out of her relationship feeling a bit betrayed. On the same night Demi and G-Eazy were allegedly seen clutching paws over the weekend, Halsey opened up to fans about her breakup in Atlantic City, New Jersey. "I learned recently it's OK to be alone! Being alone is enough," she said, according to Us. "The second lesson I learned is don't sleep with your ex." A source previously told Us the two had called it quits because their schedules kept them apart too much. When Halsey mysteriously tweeted a scissors Emoji and the words "pumpkin eater" (as in "cheater, cheater β¦"), fans leapt to the conclusion that she was referencing the rapper's lyric about cutting off a certain part of anatomy should she catch him cheating.

"We have spent countless hours listening to her music together. I can't thank Taylor enough for bringing us closer," he tweeted.

Kylie Jenner hatched her plan for Lip Kits at just 17
At 20, Kylie Jenner is already a mother and a business woman worth upwards of $900 million, so perhaps it's no surprise she started preparing for her future at a young age. "She had a plan for Kylie Cosmetics when she was 17 and said, 'OK, Mom, I want you to sit down," Kris Jenner recalls in a new interview with TMZ's Harvey Levin for "OBJECTified." "'I finally figured out what I want to do for the rest of my life,'" Kylie continued, according to Kris. "And she said, 'It's going to be makeup. I want to do my own makeup. And I want to do a lip kit, and this is what I want to do, and these are the three colors. And she had meetings, she knew exactly who she wanted and executed it. And I think 10 minutes later, her product was sold out." Forbes recently declared Kylie's on track to become the "youngest self-made billionaire ever, male or female." While some of taken issue with the claim Kylie, who was born into a wealthy family, is "self-made," her sister, Kim Kardashian West, defended her this week, telling Refinery29, "I really didn't get it, because she is 'self-made' β we are all 'self-made.' What, because we came from a family that has had success?" she asked. "To me, that doesn't really make sense. β¦ I know so many people like that [who] haven't turned out to be as successful as Kylie. If anything, I've seen the complete opposite."
Brookyln Beckham is deferring college for a photography internship
Brooklyn Beckham is reportedly taking a break from school. After studying photography for one year at New York City's Parsons School of Design, David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son is reportedly deferring his place in college and switching gears to take advantage of an internship opportunity. According to the Mirror, the 19-year-old has signed on to work for "a respected British photographer" whose name has not been made public. News of the change comes a few months after professional offers started coming his way. The Mirror quotes a source as saying Brooklyn may have been "homesick" and "feeling lonely" in the Big Apple, although previous reports suggesting he had trouble making friends have already been dismissed. "Victoria is absolutely delighted at the news and couldn't contain herself when it was all coming to plan β to have Brooklyn back under the same roof is a dream come true for her," says another insider, adding that the designer "couldn't believe how much she missed him and hated to be separated from him." The family is expected to travel to Miami together this week while David Beckham works on his Miami MLS soccer project.

Lupita Nyong'o, Saoirse Ronan star in Calvin Klein's new fragrance campaign
Women who inspire women β that's the concept at the heart of a new campaign for Calvin Klein's first fragrance since Raf Simons took over as Chief Creative Officer.

Scarlett Johansson gets props from LGBQT community for declining transgender role
Members of the trans film and television community are praising Scarlett Johansson for her decision to bail on playing a transgender man in "Rub & Tug," a film about the true story of massage parlor scion and crime boss Dante Tex Gill. Speaking to Out.com last week, Scarlett explained she would "respectfully withdraw" herself from the project due to concerns raised about the paucity of opportunities for trans actors in Hollywood. "Our cultural understanding of transgender people continues to advance, and I've learned a lot from the community since making my first statement about my casting and realize it was insensitive," she said. "Scarlett deciding to pull out was a good example of listening to the community and that was the right thing to do," Emmy-nominated producer and director Rhys Ernst told THR upon hearing the news. Actress Rain Valdez ("Transparent") said the move "says a lot about Scarlett Johansson," adding, "That actually makes me a little emotional because it's not an easy industry for trans women. It's not an easy industry for trans men." Scarlett initially defended herself amid a strong backlash over the casting, telling Bustle through her rep that critics should look to award-winning cisgender stars who have played transgender roles before placing blame on her. "Tell them that they can be directed to Jeffrey Tambor, Jared Leto, and Felicity Huffman's reps for comment," she said. The statement was widely regarded as being somewhat flip and dismissive.
