Latto has put her underwear up for sale after being trolled by the “panty police.”

The rapper listed her cheetah-print panty on eBay for 99 cents, noting on Instagram that she started the auction “since I can’t wear them twice.”

“Latto’s everyday cheetah print panties. Used. As seen on Latto multiple times,” Latto added in the description of the listing, which garnered bids of hundreds of thousands of dollars. It was later removed from the site.

The temporary listing came after an internet troll suggested the rapper was wearing the same underwear in two different photos. “Can’t afford new panties?” the Twitter user snarked, to which Latto responded, “Oh no, it’s the panty police.”

She also took to her Instagram Story to show fans her underwear drawer, which included several different cheetah-print panties.

Pamela Anderson didn’t know Tommy Lee’s last name when they married

Mötley Crüe‘s Tommy Lee married Pamela Anderson in Mexico in 1995 after only knowing her a few days. And in her new book, Love, Pamela, which is out now, Anderson reveals just how little they knew about each other. 

“On the flight home, I asked him what our last name was, and he said, ‘Lee,'” she writes in the book, according to the New York Post. “I said, ‘Oh, I thought it was Tommy Lee … something. Jones?'” (To be fair, he was born Tommy Lee Bass.)

Anderson says she was “in heaven” when she married Lee, noting she was “genuinely happy” and “lost in a sea of love.” Her mother, however, was “furious” with her. Writes Anderson, “She couldn’t believe I had gotten married, cried that she had always dreamed of being at her only daughter’s wedding.” 

The couple, who had two sons together, Brandon in 1996 and Dylan in 1997, divorced in 1998, with Anderson saying that their stolen sex tape and Lee’s 1998 arrest for spousal abuse doomed the relationship.

“Neither of us could forgive the other, deep down. We just weren’t equipped to get through it all,” she explains. “I loved to see him with his boys, but the four of us together forever was only a dream.”

Runaway June is racing to sing for St. Jude

Their name already includes the word run, so who better to play for a marathon than Runaway June

The “Buy My Own Drinks” hitmakers will be the post-race entertainment Saturday, April 22, after the St. Jude Rock ‘n’ Roll Running Series Nashville. The music will go from 10:30 a.m. CT until noon just outside Music City’s Nissan Stadium.

Last year Runaway June released their latest single, “Broken Hearts Do Broken Things,” as well as the new holiday song “Cowboy for Christmas” with new lead singer Stevie Woodward. Just last week Natalie Stovall revealed she’d been in the hospital, but is now on the mend from serious fibroid surgery. Meanwhile, group founder Jennifer Wayne‘s busy with her daughter Lily Maria, who’ll be 1 in April.

Of course, the race raises money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, the Memphis nonprofit founded by comedian Danny Thomas that works to cure childhood diseases — and famously never gives families a bill.

Donald Glover is giving fans a glimpse of the Beyoncé-inspired Amazon series Swarm via exclusive photos from the show.

The series follows the story of a young woman who is obsessed with a pop star and takes fan through “her life, her fandom, and how it takes her to dark, unexpected places,” Vanity Fair reports. Dominique Fishback from Judas and the Black Messiah takes on the leading role, Dre.

“We just thought it’d be fun to make a post-truth Piano Teacher mixed with The King of Comedy,” Glover tells VF when discussing the series. “Me and my brother Stephen were talking about finding someone like Isabelle Huppert, as far as risk-takers in performances.”

Donald pitched the idea for Swarm to Janine Nabers, an Atlanta writer and producer. She tells VF that they were “creating an antihero story … through the lens of a Black, modern-day woman.”

To help bring the story to life, Glover also cast Chloe Bailey for the role of Dre’s sister, Marissa, and Damson Idris as Dre’s boyfriend. Malia Obama worked behind the scenes in the writers room.

Many of the crew members had previously worked on Atlanta, making Swarm feel like “a sister” to the FX show, Nabers says, adding they live in “the same tonal space.”

“A lot of people did it out of the kindness of their hearts and they did a really great job,” Donald adds. “Dom, Damson, Chloe. I was really blown away at how hard they worked on the tone, ’cause it’s a strange one.”

Drake‘s betting habits have been well documented, so it’s no surprise he put a wager on the AFC Championship Game between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Cincinnati Bengals. According to a screenshot on his Instagram Story ahead of the game, he’d put up $1.1 million for the Chiefs: “Big Sunday let’s buy mama something nice.”

The Chiefs’ victory earned him a payout of more than $2 million.

Drake’s win comes a month after he reportedly lost $1 million betting that Argentina would beat France in the 2022 World Cup final.

The Chiefs will play the Philadelphia Eagles at the Super Bowl February 12.
