Kim Kardashian reportedly spent Christmas with Kanye West, plus the latest on those Van Jones rumors
Amid a flurry of new reports claiming Kim Kardashian West is preparing to file for divorce from Kanye West, Kim's fans have already decided she has someone new in her life. As one Twitter user put it, "Kim Kardashian and Van Jones: An Inevitable Love Story." While "inevitable" is probably an overstatement, it's true Kim, 40, is friendly with the 52-year-old CNN commentator, and the two have had plenty of glowing things to say about one another since their 2018 White House meeting. Still, rumors he and Kim are an item appear to be the figment of social media's collective imagination. According to TMZ, Kim and Kanye not only spent Christmas together with their four children, but also went the extra mile in terms of gifts for one another. Kanye gave Kim five new, 2021 Maybachs, while Kim gifted a number of pieces by the artist James Turrell to her husband, who's a huge fan of his work. It's unclear if the gifts were a last-ditch effort to save the marriage, though. People reported on Wednesday, Jan. 6, that gifts aside, Kim has not been wearing her wedding band or engagement ring much on Instagram lately, including in posts from the holidays. The outlet previously reported Kim's been living separately from Kanye and mulling a divorce for some time, but has held off on filing for divorce out of concern for how it would affect their kids.

Mark Ruffalo, Meghan McCain, more celebrities speak out about Capitol breach during MAGA rally
As the world watched on Wednesday, Jan. 6, protesters breached the Capitol building during a pro-Donald Trump rally in Washington, D.C., as politicians were confirming the electoral vote. Celebrities, Republican and Democrat alike, were among the many voices reacting to the news on social media. "Imagine if this was our side," tweeted Mark Ruffalo, an outspoken Democrat and political activist. "There would be rivers of our blood in the streets and not a single one of us would be armed. This has been allowed. #CoupAttempt." Republican Meghan McCain was similarly outraged, tweeting, "Lock. Them. Up." "Bachelor" star Rachel Lindsay urged her followers to consider what would have happened had Black Lives Matter protesters grown violent and stormed a government building, while "Insecure" creator and star Issa Rae slammed President Trump as a "desperate man," calling his supporters, "silly sheep." Added Issa: "Embarrassing." As the violence continued, President-Elect Joe Biden called on President Trump to "step up," telling the nation, "our democracy is under unprecedented assault unlike anything we've seen in modern times." Later, the president, apparently responding to pressure from lawmakers, told his supporters to "go home" in a video that was flagged by Twitter for including potential disinformation.

New details about the rescheduled 2021 Grammy Awards
Even if Beyonce wins all nine of her 2021 Grammy nominations, there will probably be no live audience to cheer for her — or any of the 2021 nominees. The Recording Academy confirmed on Tuesday that it will postpone Music's Biggest Night this year out of concern about new spikes in COVID-19 case numbers. The ceremony has been rescheduled from Jan. 31 to March 14, the same day as the SAG Awards. And according to the organization's Chair and Interim President/CEO, Harvey Mason Jr., the current plan does not involve a live audience. Right now we're not planning on anybody attending, as far as an audience is concerned," Harvey told ET when asked what fans could expect of this year's show. "I think there will be more outdoor performances. I think there will be multiple locations, giving us the flexibility to have more than one artist at a time. [With] protocols and trying to sterilize things, you need to shift things around a little bit. So we'll be inside the L.A. Convention Center, we'll be outside in the street, different locations," he said. "We'll obviously adjust accordingly, but for us it's really about the health and well-being and safety of our artist community, staff and people working on the show. That's of paramount importance to us," Harvey continued. "There will be live performances as planned [right] now, but we don't know going forward what we'll be allowed to do."

Amber Heard gets a green light on $100M countersuit against Johnny Depp
A Virginia judge ruled Monday that Amber Heard can proceed with her $100 million countersuit against ex-husband, Johnny Depp, who initially sued her for defamation (and half as much money). Johnny's suit alleges Amber defamed the actor in her 2018 op-ed for the Washington Post about how society protects abusive men. After Johnny filed a $50 million suit against Amber, who never used his name in the piece, the actress responded by filing her own lawsuit alleging he launched "a false and defamatory smear campaign" against her. Johnny tried to have Amber's suit thrown out, to no avail. In an opinion delivered Monday, Judge Bruce White wrote that Johnny's comments about Amber "imply she lied and perjured herself" when she asked the court for a restraining order against him in 2016 and "that she lied about being a victim of domestic abuse," according to Deadline. "In light of the #MeToo Movement and today's social climate," the judge continued, "falsely claiming abuse would surely 'injure [Ms. Heard's] reputation in the common estimation of mankind,'" making her defamation claim "actionable." Meanwhile, Johnny's waiting learn if a London appeal court will give him a new trial after he lost his case against The Sun, which a judge found had reason to brand him a "wife beater." He lost his first appeal. His defamation trial against Amber is set to begin May 3.
Christie Brinkley, 66, gets a hip replacement 26 years after helicopter crash
Christie Brinkley's kicking off 2021 with a major physical update. "New Year, New Hip!" she wrote on Instagram Tuesday, posting photos of herself on a boat in a swimsuit. The supermodel, 66, explained that her hip was injured in a helicopter crash in Telluride, Colorado, more than two decades ago, and the pain had gotten "worse each year." Though she was told she should have it replaced 12 years ago, Christie said the idea of surgery was "daunting." "And I had things to do!" she added. "But quarantine put a damper on any plans so I decided to finally take time for myself and do something about the pain that had progressively influenced my decisions," she wrote. "I wanted to be ready to be able to say yes to opportunity. I had my surgery at Thanksgiving and I was dancing in my kitchen by New Years Eve and today I put on my long fins and explored the coral reefs propelled by my new hip!" More shots in her post showed she was out for an early morning dive with her son, Jack. "… If you've been putting something off that could improve your well-being but hesitate out of some sort of fear, I suggest learning as much as you can about the process and the results and expectations," she advised. "I found the best Doctor for my circumstances and voila! I can't tell you how happy I am to have done this. Now I can focus on getting back in shape and rebuilding my strength. Never to old to get hip! 😜 [sic."
Sacha Baron Cohen brought back Borat because he 'felt democracy was in peril'
As Hollywood navigates how to deal with the coronavirus pandemic, the majority of filmmakers and TV showrunners have opted to tell stories that aren't driven by COVID-19. But as Sacha Baron Cohen explains in a new interview with Variety, he decided to bring back his Borat character largely because of the pandemic. "I felt democracy was in peril, I felt people's lives were in peril and I felt compelled to finish the movie," he says. For Sacha, making "Borat Subsequent Moviefilm" was also very much about what he describes as "the danger of Trump and Trumpism." When he decided to go forward with production despite the risks involved, he says it was because he believed, "What coronavirus demonstrated was that there's a lethal effect to his spreading of lies and conspiracy theories." Referencing the masks that largely remained on throughout the movie, Sacha added: "Rather than run away from how the world was dealing with coronavirus, I felt we should lean into it."
