It can be hard to keep up with celebrity relationship low-down, but we certainly try.
Martin Luther King Jr. and the love he lost
In 1973, R&B group Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes had a hit single titled The Love I Lost. I thought of this tune today after reading a story about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and a love he lost from his college days. The tale is quite tragic because there was only one reason 19-year-old Dr. King and Betty Moitz could not marry.

7 Nigerian Celebrities Who Like Older Women (Photos)
Age is but a number. We all like what we like and what every individual person likes is different from what the next person likes. It is one of the most beautiful and interesting things about human beings and something I find forever interesting. How me and my friends have COMPLETELY DIFFERENT TASTES when it comes to who we find attractive and who we date is always something that’s so fascinating to me.

Watching Lana Del Rey’s ‘Tropico’ in 2021 - A Reflection on Western Society 🥀
Doin’ time, except since I’m a white girl the only time I’m doing is rewatching Clueless, obsessing over the new Lana single ‘Chemtrails Over the Country Club’ and finding deep meaning in color psychology I learnt in Legally Blonde style analysis’s on YouTube. Well, hopefully I’m not that basic; but at the end of the day, all my alternative hipster phases and attempts to come across as multi-faceted are in vain. I am here in 2021 reclaiming my whiteness, as much as I hate it. And my heroine Lana Del Rey only reflects back to me my own privileges and prejudices.

'Warrior' Alex Trebek Offers Comforting Words To Audience
"We are trying to build a gentler, kinder society, and if we all pitch in just a little bit, we are going to get there." Heartwarming words from Alex Trebek, according to NBC News, at one of his final Jeopardy! tapings. No one knew this would lead into one of the beloved host's final weeks on set, and few actually knew how exhausted the man was as a result of newly returning to his hosting job following surgery. Executive producer Mike Richards said the comments, which were unscripted and came unbidden from Trebek, were surprising.

We All Need A Bit More Dolly Parton In Our Lives
When I was a kid, #DollyParton was someone who was largely a caricature. At least, that's how I remember her in my childhood memories, but then, that could be in part because I felt so much like one myself - gangly and awkward with a mouthful of braces and, of course, acne. Then, there was Dolly, who was of course in her late-30s or early-40s and looking like she could pass for late-20s. Petite, gorgeous, and talented - basically, everything I felt I wasn't at the time - but she made an indelible impression on me even then.
