Celebrities often push boundaries in fashion and self-expression, but some choices might come with unexpected consequences. Take Cardi B, for example. Her decision to get a "butt crack piercing," while undoubtedly a bold statement, ended up costing her more than just the initial price tag.
The rapper proudly showcased her new silver barbell piercing on social media, a shimmering addition to her backside that quickly caught the attention of her followers. It was a glamorous touch, elevated further when she decided to accessorize it with a dazzling £11,000 diamond.

However, the glittering affair took a turn for the worse when the diamond, the pièce de résistance of her piercing, met an untimely demise. As Cardi B confessed, the precious gem was accidentally flushed down the toilet, leaving her understandably "devastated."
"It cost me $13,000 as it was real diamonds but guess what? It went down the toilet. It was after a month," she lamented. The fleeting nature of the expensive embellishment serves as a cautionary tale about the practicality of certain lavish trends.

The unfortunate incident hasn't inspired her to immediately re-pierce. "I haven't redone it yet. I haven't been in the mood," she admitted, perhaps reconsidering the high-risk, high-reward nature of the piercing.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, Cardi B also revealed a more relaxed side to her personality. Contrary to the party-hard image often associated with her music and videos, she confessed to being something of a "granny" when it comes to clubbing. She admitted, "I can get sleepy. I am a granny."

Her preferences for a quieter evening extend to her musical tastes while out. "If the music is not right, we leave. I’m like, ‘No, I just want to go to bed’," she shared, proving that even the most high-energy performers appreciate a good night's sleep.
In other celebrity news, wedding bells are ringing for members of The 1975. Drummer George Daniel has already celebrated two ceremonies with his partner in a small London setting, followed by a grander affair.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the nuptials of frontman Matty Healy and his fiancée, Gabbriette Bechtel. According to Healy's mother, Denise Welch, the wedding is planned for next year.
Welch, who received an award for her work in mental health, entertainment, and philanthropy, shared her enthusiasm for the upcoming event. When asked about the wedding plans, she responded, "Very well. We hope it’s going to be next year."

While Welch remained tight-lipped about the specific location, promising it would be a "great night," she diplomatically declined to comment on Healy's ex-girlfriend, Taylor Swift, who is currently engaged to Travis Kelce. “Oh, pleading the Fifth," she replied, skillfully avoiding the potentially controversial topic.
For fans of classic rock, The Rolling Stones are set to reissue their 1976 album, "Black and Blue," on November 14. This definitive version will include six previously unreleased studio tracks, featuring the long-rumored "I Love Ladies."

The reissue will be accompanied by a new music video for "Shame, Shame, Shame," as well as a full live concert recording from their 1976 performance at London's Earls Court, offering a comprehensive look back at this iconic era.
Moving into the realm of film, a star-studded supergroup is forming for Rebel Wilson's upcoming movie, "Girl Group." Featuring talents from the Spice Girls, Pussycat Dolls, and All Saints, the project promises a comedic take on the world of girl bands.

Wilson, who is directing and starring in the comedy, plays a character ousted from her own group's reunion tour. In an effort to reclaim her spotlight, she takes on the task of coaching a group of teen girls, only to push them too hard in her quest for a comeback.
The movie is currently being filmed in Croydon, south London, with a cast that includes Jade Thirlwall. Wilson was even spotted filming a scene at Reading Festival, appearing on stage with The Kooks while in character as Tassie Young.

Meanwhile, on the stage, Amber Davies is stepping into the iconic shoes of Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde The Musical." Davies, known for her impressive West End career, will lead the UK tour, which is scheduled to run from February 7, 2026, to January 2, 2027.
The role, famously portrayed by Reese Witherspoon in the 2001 film, will see Davies bring her own flair to the pink-obsessed lawyer. Posing with Bruiser, Elle Woods's chihuahua, Davies already embodies the character's spirit and charm.

The extensive tour schedule won't pose a problem for her relationship with actor Ben Joyce. According to Davies, their careers often require them to spend time apart. "Once I’m in a job, I’m so locked in," she explained.
She added, "If I don’t see Ben for a month, then I don’t see Ben for a month. He is in the industry as well. When I did Pretty Woman, I did five weeks of not coming home." This dedication to her craft is a quality that Elle Woods herself would undoubtedly admire.

Turning to the music scene, RAYE has made a significant lifestyle change by cutting out alcohol after battling with substance abuse. The singer, who has openly discussed using drugs to cope with past trauma, is now embracing sobriety as she makes her musical comeback.
RAYE recently released her new track, "Where The Hell Is My Husband?," the first single from her upcoming second album. Performing at Ronnie Scott's in London, she shared her perspective on moderation. "I think everything in moderation in life," she said. "I’m actually living the sober life at the moment. It’s quite good for me."
While emphasizing that alcohol was not her primary vice, RAYE acknowledged her past struggles. "Also, I was dealing with a lot of trauma then, OK? So that’s my excuse," she explained. "Life can be hard. Life isn’t linear. So I was dealing with things in a hilarious way. But that’s life, OK? And I’m doing better, which is great."
Looking ahead, RAYE expressed her dream of finding love and owning a jazz club with her future husband, hinting at a potential venture into the world of venue ownership.
