Good afternoon Wypierdalaj,

Below are the latest entertainment news stories.

“Love Is Blind” Season 4 stars Chelsea Griffin and Kwame Appiah have shared that they are separating after four years of marriage.

On May 15, Griffin and Appiah uploaded a somber black-and-white picture of them in a joint Instagram post with a caption that read, “Life Update,” and included a mending heart emoji. The next two slides in the post were separate statements confirming that they are getting a divorce.

Appiah wrote in her statement, “Last week would have marked our fourth wedding anniversary. Out of respect for the life we shared, I wanted to address this moment directly with the community that has supported us over the years. It’s heartbreaking to share that our marriage is coming to an end.”

John Travolta’s shocking new look set the tone for an emotional night at the Cannes Film Festival on Friday, where the star was unexpectedly awarded an honorary Palme d’Or just before the premiere of his film “Propeller One‑Way Night Coach.”

The 72‑year‑old was nearly unrecognizable, rocking a cream‑colored wool beret and a pair of spectacles as he walked the red carpet with his 26‑year‑old daughter, Ella Bleu Travolta. He completed the look with a black suit layered over a knit vest, a white shirt and tie and even added a pocket square and patent‑leather loafers to finish the ensemble.

Festival artistic director Thierry Frémaux brought out the surprise award moments before the screening.

Revenge is a dish best served cold, they say, but one baker likes it hot.

Julie Fradella, a baker and business coach near New Orleans, Louisiana, posted on Instagram about how happy she was to help a client with an out of the ordinary, yet understandable, last-minute request.

“Hey, coworkers, my client found her boyfriend cheated on her the same day she was supposed to come pick up this big-ass cake for him,” Fradella says in the May 6 video.

For Jackie Tohn, the last few years have been a rollercoaster. The “Nobody Wants This” star has been on a career high. But she’s also been going through a challenging personal health journey behind the scenes.

After her father developed metastatic tumors last year, she learned that she carries a high genetic risk for breast cancer. And Tohn decided to undergo a preventive double mastectomy this past December, she revealed exclusively on the TODAY show on May 15.

It’s something she’s been able to compartmentalize most of the time. “I don’t remember thinking about it. I’m such a weird machine,” she said on TODAY with Jenna & Sheinelle. But there were also some “crazy experiences,” she added, like learning about her inconclusive breast MRI results on the way to present at the Creative Arts Emmys.

 Drake has returned as the “Iceman.” And the stakes couldn’t be higher.

The Canadian rapper released his ninth studio album Friday alongside two additional surprise projects, “Habibti” and “Maid of Honour.” In all, the “Hotline Bling” rapper released 43 songs.

The releases are his first since his very public feud with Kendrick Lamar.

The World Cup — officially — has an official song. Shakira and Nigerian singer-songwriter Burna Boy have teamed up to release “Dai Dai,” FIFA said in a statement Friday.

“Dai Dai brings together the global sounds and energy of Shakira and Burna Boy in a vibrant celebration of football, culture and unity,” FIFA said.

“Dai dai” is an Italian expression that means “come on” or “go, go,” and is often used to encourage someone someone to push forward. The multilingual chorus “Dai dai, Ikó, dale, allez, let’s go!,” captures the global spirit that defines the World Cup.
