An “Unholy” gift for sure! Apparently, Ed Sheeran gifted his good friend Sam Smith a six-foot statue of a penis. (Not kidding.) On Tuesday, Smith joined the Kelly Clarkson Show and was asked about the unusual “trophy” that Sheeran gave him.
“It’s actually wild. I thought it was a joke, but it’s a six-foot-two marble penis,” Smith revealed. “It’s two tons, and I’m gonna have to get it craned into my house.”
Smith said they want to turn the statue into a fountain, “which I think will be hard to do.

During an interview about his new album and his hit song "All of Me" with Carrie Bickmore and Tommy Little of the "Carrie & Tommy" podcast, Teigen pops in to say a surprise hello.
"You don't love that person like you used to because you've grown together and you're experiencing new things, and [that love] is tested in different ways."
"If you were writing a song now, all these years later, how different would that song be for Chrissy [compared to 'All of Me']?" Bickmore asks.

Love a good cameo? Well then you have to see Chrissy Teigen crash John Legend's recent interview. It all happened while John was talking to Carrie Bickmore from the Australian radio show Carrie and Tommy via Zoom on August 8.

John then suggested that fans will just have to listen to his new album, Legend, to find out as there are songs for Chrissy on it.

The Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited frontman was in the middle of a light hearted interview with Channel Ten.s .The Project. Tuesday night. The no B.S. iconic punk rocker had to shush the female of the group, with his ire spilling over to the rest of the talking heads whose Oz accent and tone were too shrill for Lydon.

Johnny Rotten was acting pretty, well, rotten. The former lead singer of the Sex Pistols (real name John Lydon) got into hot water after telling a female host on the Australian talk show The Project on Channel Ten to "shut up when a man is talking" when she cut in with a question about the death of Margaret Thatcher. Oh yeah, he went there. "Hey, hey missus, shut up, whoever you are, shut up, shut up, shut up," Rotten told anchor Carrie Bickmore. "Now listen, when a man is talking do not interrupt."

Former Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten has come under fire after launching a bizarre sexist rant on Australian TV when the show's female anchor, Carrie Bickmore, asked him about the death of Baroness Thatcher.
Rotten, real name John Lydon, has been branded a “sexist, misogynist pig” by Bickmore's co-host Andrew Rochford, after his appearance on talk show 'The Project' on Channel Ten.
The disgusting tirade started with Rotten saying "missus, shutup", he then told her, "when a man is talking do not interrupt."
He continued, with his seemingly over-inflated ego, thus: "You're beginning to sound like excited children, you're talking to a proper master of the universe here."
Rotten is currently touring the country with his band Public Image Limited.
However, he has hit back at claims he's sexist.“It’s quite clear to me I’m not a sexist and I’m not a misogynist.”
