Kylie Jenner Just Made One Teen’s Prom Dreams Come True by Showing Up As His Date

Despite not having Emma Stone on his arm in the end, we figured high schooler Jacob Staudenmaier had this year’s prom on lock after the Oscar-winning actress wrote him a personal letter in response to his epic La La Land promposal. The actress said she would unfortunately be on locale in London working, but did pay him the ultimate compliment when she said he looked like Ryan Gosling a bit around the eyes.

High school student Albert Ochoa from Rio Americano High School in Sacramento, California just may have him beat, however, as he actually managed to nab a very famous date to his own junior dance: one Miss Kylie Jenner!

The reality starlet showed up to meet the incredibly lucky young man with her BFF Jordyn Woods (who she donated a generous 10K to when her father passed away earlier this year).

The two ladies were looking fierce, with Kylie rocking a silky blush colored one-shoulder gown and Woods serving up some serious sass in red.

Needless to say, Ochoa’s classmatess were FREAKING. OUT., sharing pics, videos, and the works.

The man of the hour was likely more pleased than anyone, especially as he had reportedly been denied for a date by a classmate.

As for Jenner, it was a chance to live out life as a normal student for a change: She forwent a prom of her own, as she was home schooled, and it’s something she has reportedly expressed interest in doing in the past, saying, “I feel like I need to go to one. I want to go to one of them.”

Wishes granted, all around!

Karl Lagerfeld Paris Is Giving Away Free Prom Dresses

Let’s be honest: the most exciting part about going to prom back in the day was selecting the most extravagant, princess-worthy gown to wear to the ball (er, dimly-lit high school gym). For many young girls, though, the reality of snagging any sort of dress — let alone a formal one — is simply out of reach. To mitigate the issue, Karl Lagerfeld Paris is giving away floor-grazing frocks to those in need…free of charge. Best of all, *you* can help out.

During the month of April (the start of prom season!), Karl Lagerfeld Paris is implementing a buy-one-get-one policy on dresses. For every dress you buy online, the brand will donate a prom-worthy piece from its collection to a high school student in need of attire for their big night.

To make the magic happen, the fashion icon is partnering with Girls Inc. NYC, a non-profit organization which empowers girls. The dresses will be sent to the nonprofit, which will place them online for students to browse and select. Additionally, Girls Inc. will open a pop-up shop in NYC on April 27, where over 100 high school seniors will be able to shop in person.

While Lagerfeld is known as a haute couture designer, the Karl Lagerfeld Paris line offers relatively affordable options, with pieces starting as low as $60. If you want to get in on the do-gooding (and snag a cute new frock for yourself), shop the line anytime from now ’til April 30. After all, who doesn’t want to look *and* feel good?

Um, Were Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler Just Caught On A Date?

I always get excited when I think about how many celebrity couples we don't know about yet. Glen Powell & Lily James generated some buzz when they hopped into a car together ahead of the BAFTAs, and Outer Banks star Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler (yes, Elvis himself) were just spotted out and about together. Let's dive in, shall we?

Here's everything we know about those Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors.

Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler were allegedly spotted grabbing a meal.

A post shared by curators of pop culture (@deuxmoi)

"Seriously just saw Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler" at a celebrity-frequented restaurant in Los Angeles, a DeuxMoi source said at the end of January. One Instagram user commented that since Madelyn and Austin's exes (Pete Davidson and Kaia Gerber) are exes, "dating in Hollywood is 3 degrees of separation."

However, according to another DeuxMoi source, fans have been paying attention to Madelyn's Instagram activity. The actress previously dated her Outer Banks costar Chase Stokes, and has allegedly been liking posts about "the one that got away," and even posted on her Instagram story that she deserves happiness.

"The timing of Chase's relationship doing so great and her having a string of failed relationships, people are just assuming she's crashing out," the second source continues. Yikes, y'all.

I think it's so fascinating how fans allegedly jump to the conclusion that Madelyn is crashing out, and assume Austin (who is also recently single) is totally fine post-breakup. Listen, a girl can go on a few dates without spiraling, dating really doesn't have to be that serious. It's supposed to be fun!

It's also totally in the realm of possibility that they were having a business meeting. For now, we don't really know. But what I do know? Madelyn Cline and Austin Butler would make a cute couple, and even if they don't end up in a relationship, a delicious dinner and maybe a smooch or two never hurt anybody ;).

Stay tuned for more news on these Madelyn Cline & Austin Butler dating rumors, and while we're on all things lovey-dovey, check out the latest news on Madelyn Cline's New Romance The Map That Leads To You.

Blake Lively Literally Just Connected The CIA To Her 'It Ends With Us' Legal Battle

Not only is Blake Lively speaking out about the "sexist" commentary on her legal battle with Justin Baldoni, she's also enlisting the help of...the CIA? Yes, you read that right. The actress just recruited an ex-CIA advisor to help with her case ahead of the March 2026 trial. Wow.

Here's what we know about Blake Lively's latest move in her legal battle with Justin Baldoni.

Blake Lively just involved an ex-CIA advisor in her case.

Blake Lively has enlisted Nick Shapiro, former CIA deputy chief of staff and senior advisor John Brennan (the former director), to help with her case, according to Page Six and Variety.

“The litigation team for Ms. Lively retained Mr. Shapiro to advise on the legal communications strategy for the ongoing sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit occurring in the Southern District of New York,” Blake Lively's lawyers said in a statement.

This proves more than anything else that Blake is taking the trial really seriously because this is a major move on her part.

Recently, Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni actually agreed on something when they spoke out against the "violent" messages Blake and her loved ones have been receiving.

Blake's legal team requested a stronger protection order (PO), considering Blake, "her family, other members of the cast, various fact witnesses, and individuals that have spoken out publicly in support of Ms. Lively have received violent, profane, sexist, and threatening communications" (as the request states), "good cause exists for the Court to adopt the Proposed PO."

And Justin's legal team went on the record, saying they "do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation. Anyone receiving violent messages by anonymous parties is abhorrent."

“When private parties were wrongfully accused by Lively and her paid team of wrongdoing, they received continuous death threats and visits to private homes where young children reside after their addresses were leaked on her initial complaints," they continue. "No one should have to face that, especially private parties who do not have means for security detail. We do not condone dangerous rhetoric targeted toward anyone no matter the situation.”

Stay tuned for more news on Blake Lively & Justin Baldoni's legal battle.
