It seems like Leonardo DiCaprio might have finally found the one. His fans went into a frenzy after spotting a ring on his 26-year-old model girlfriend, Vittoria Ceretti’s engagement finger. A source close to the couple says, “It seems like Ceretti may have finally tamed the serial womanizer.” Could it be that Leo, the man who’s famous for dating models younger than most of us, is ready to settle down?
Meanwhile, Conor McGregor is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. The UFC star was found liable for sexually assaulting Nikita Hand in 2018. His fiancée, Dee Devlin, took to social media to defend him, claiming the encounter was consensual, but McGregor is standing by his version of events. He plans to appeal the ruling. The fallout has been swift: McGregor was dropped by his whiskey brand, Proper No. 12, and removed from the upcoming “Hitman” video game. It’s a messy situation, and we’ll have to wait to see how it unfolds.
Over in the legal world, Harvey Weinstein is back in the headlines, but not for the reasons he’d like. His lawyers have filed a claim against New York City, alleging that the conditions at Rikers Island are unsanitary and that Weinstein’s medical care has been subpar. The disgraced Hollywood mogul is seeking $5 million in damages, citing health issues like leukemia and diabetes. Weinstein, 72, has been incarcerated since his 2020 rape conviction was overturned, and it looks like his legal battles are far from over.
Turning to the music world, Ticketmaster stirred up some drama when they released more tickets for Taylor Swift’s sold-out Vancouver shows. The catch? These tickets were behind the stage with zero view for a bargain price of $16.50.

Ticketmaster, of course, declined to comment on how fast the tickets sold or if they were planning to release more.
As if we needed more drama, it looks like rain is expected to hit during tomorrow’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade. A spokesperson for Macy’s confirmed that the show will go on, rain or shine.
