“I am heartbroken to have to share the news of the passing of my brother Bob Kulick. His love of music, and his talent as a musician and producer should always be celebrated. Please respect the Kulick Family’s privacy during this sad time. RIP,” Bruce Kalick wrote on Twitter.

Kulick was born in Brooklyn in 1950. He first auditioned for Kiss in the 1970s, but didn't land the role of lead-guitarist; however, he would remain connected to the band and worked on several albums throughout their discography.

“We are heartbroken. Our deepest condolences to the Kulick family in this difficult time,” the band posted on Twitter.

Kulick also worked with W.A.S.P., Lou Reed, and Meat Loaf’s touring band, the Neverland Express. He is also known for co-writing the “Sweet Victory” song for Nickelodeon’s SpongeBob Squarepants. The song was played during Super Bowl LIII. 

Sons Of Apollo keyboardist Derek Sherinian wrote on Twitter, "I am very sad to hear about the passing of Bob Kulick. I played on several tribute records in the 90s that Bob produced. My condolences to his family and especially Bruce. R.I.P."

A cause of death has not been confirmed.

It sure didn't take Ashley Benson long to move on from her ex-girlfriend, Cara Delevingne, from the looks of it. On Wednesday (May 13th), the Pretty Little Liars actress was spotted swapping spit with G-Eazy, only a few days after it was announced that she and Cara had gone their separate ways. Ashley and the rapper were driving to The Apple Pan in L.A. to pick up some food together, when Ashley leaned over to the passenger seat where G-Eazy was sitting, and planted one right on his lips. The smooch can be seen in a paparazzi video circulating online.

Although it’s a pretty common practice for kids to dig through their parents old photos to find some vintage gems for social media, not everybody’s mom and dad were kicking it with Eminem back in the day. Then again, not everybody’s dad is Dr. Dre, so there’s that. The legendary producer’s daughter, Truly Young, engaged in the age old art of the Throwback Thursday last week, which involved sharing a shot of her famous dad and her mom, Nicole Young, from their younger days. In the same photo, a blonde Em can be seen with a scowl on his face, as a mystery woman plants a big smooch on his cheek.

“How cute is my mom,” Truly captioned the photo. Although it would make sense that, seeing as she is Dre’s daughter, Truly would have found this old school shot on her own, it looks like she came across it while perusing a nostalgia pop culture account called @90smilk.

Sharing throwback photos of Dre seems to be a common occurrence these days. Earlier this week, Xzibit posted a myriad of photos from back in the early days of Aftermath, and of course, Dre is ever-present. The retro snaps also include the likes of 50 Cent, Battlecat, and DJ Pooh, making for one nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Demi Lovato has made it official with her new boyfriend, Young and the Restless star, Max Ehrich. In the music video for Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber‘s new duet, “Stuck With U,” which is comprised of different clips of fans dancing to the track in quarantine, Demi and Max publicly confirmed their relationship for the first time by sharing a smooch. Although the singer and actor have been spotted together on multiple occasions and were practically confirmed to be boo’d up back in March, the couple are no longer keeping their relationship behind closed doors.

Around the 2:56 mark of the montage music video, Demi and Max can be seen in a dreamy room with a starry night sky projected on the walls. The couple goofed around briefly before sharing a kiss while slow-dancing to the charitable track, all the proceeds of which will be donated to the First Responders Children’s Foundation. Demi proceeded to post a screenshot of the romantic moment on her Instagram story, tagging Max and including a trio of lovestruck emojis. She also gave a shoutout to 2 Chainz, who could be seen dancing with his wife in the same frame as Demi and Max in the video.

Along with Ari, Justin, Demi, Max, and 2 Chainz, other celebrities that made appearances in the video include Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher, and many more. One semi-celeb that didn’t quite make the cut, though, was Tiger King star, Carole Baskin. 

Live Nation is halting all domestic and international tours as a temporary measure, due to the growing concerns over the coronavirus outbreak around the world. Per Billboard, the event promoter has instructed all of its touring shows to pack their bags and head home for the time being. Following suite of other events around the world that attract large gatherings of people, current touring arena shows under Live Nation will be cancelled through the end of the month in an effort to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Select shows on Thursday and Friday this week will, however, proceed as scheduled. The company plans to re-evaluate the situation come April, with hopes of resuming touring by May or June. Among the tours affected are Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Jason Aldean, Zac Brown Band, Cher, Kiss, Tool, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Chris Stapleton.

Live Nation has also ordered all of its employees not to come into the office, and instead work remotely from home. For the most part, their Beverly Hills headquarters will be closed until the end of March. Despite the unfortunate circumstances, the company is not planning to lay off any employees, as staff have been informed that the company is “well-positioned to weather the closure.”

Nicki Minaj has officially made her public return, releasing a brand new single last week and stepping out with her husband Kenneth Petty at the Marc Jacobs Fall 2020 show during New York Fashion Week. The rap superstar teased her retirement last year but, clearly, something changed inside of her and she decided that the world needed more of her New York-laced bars. The highly-talented individual dropped “Yikes” and took back her Queen Radio show before bringing her hubby to one of the most exciting NYFW events last night, locking lips in their front-row seats as they considered their next stylistic moves.

Nicki Minaj is certainly a fashionable individual, being spotted numerous times over the years at Fashion Week events. As for her life partner, some would say that Kenny Petty is missing some drip. Meek Mill clowned the man for resembling a Jimmy Jazz mannequin the other day so he might be taking pointers from his wife on how to dress to impress.

Uploading some moments from their time at the Marc Jacobs runway show, Nicki Minaj and Kenneth Petty clearly enjoyed themselves, kissing in one video shared to Instagram and showing out for the paparazzi in another.

These two form one of hip-hop’s favorite couples of the moment. Do you think Minaj has found herself a keeper?

Brad Pitt and Regina King may not be dating but fans want that to happen after seeing how close they got at the Academy Awards this weekend. Among many other special moments, including Parasite's total domination, Eminem's surprise performance of "Lose Yourself," and more, one of the most heartwarming Oscars 2020 bits came as Brad Pitt and Regina King were making their way off the stage and into the press room. Pitt won the award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Once Upon A Time... In Hollywood and as they made their way to the backstage area, they appeared to be very chummy. At the time, a ton of affection could be seen on camera but even after, they seemed to be feeling each other, holding hands and even planting some kisses on each other's cheeks. It's got fans of both actors hoping that they continue their bond outside of the awards ceremony.

Social media was abuzz when King and Pitt had their moment on stage, reacting even further when press room photos of the two surfaced. Posing for joint images, they undeniably look great together, which is a sentiment felt by many reacting online.

What did you think of the 2020 Oscars (if you watched... this was the least-viewed ceremony ever, after all.)

Young Thug has been developing Lil Keed as an artist for the last couple of years, working closely with him and a number of other youngsters to get them to where they need to be in the music business. Apparently, he has also been teaching his students manners, specifically in the form of European greetings. 

A video making its way around the internet seemingly shows Young Thug and Lil Keed greeting each other at an event, shaking hands before Keed leans in to kiss his mentor on the cheek. As you would expect, the moment is being clowned by some who believe this is too much affection to show between two straight men. After all, Thug and Keed both have girlfriends. Critics are missing the point though since this is far from being romantic in any way.

The video is also very short and shows a bad angle of this. Keed could very well have been trying to communicate something to Thug in a loud room, leaning into his ear to get the message across. Still, people find this interaction either very sus or very endearing. 

Lil Keed recently released a doublet of new songs with Lil Yachty and Zaytoven, teasing his own Trapped On Cleveland 3 for later this year. Are you a fan of the rising Atlanta artist?

Imagine finding out that your relationship is over social media… Even worse: imagine finding out because of a video that your significant other willingly posted cuddling up to another person. That’s what dutch model Yasmin Wijnaldum is going through right now. Bad boy G-Eazy has long been on the dating market, spending time with just about every baddie in the game. Seemingly stalking the Wilhemina headquarters, Young Gerald has been shacking up with Yasmin for months but, this weekend, a video showing the Bay Area greaser and Megan Thee Stallion on the couch, kissing and cuddling, made its way onto the internet. Fans were seriously caught off guard as these were honestly the last two people we would have expected to see together. Apparently, G-Eazy’s girlfriend was also not anticipating the news, reacting with a lot of laughter online.

Updating her Instagram story, Wijnaldum posted a video of Nicki Minaj on the Ellen Show, laughing her head off with the caption reading, “mood.” While she doesn’t outwardly reference the kiss between Megan and G, it’s safe to assume that’s what she’s talking about. She then went on to wink while listening to “Thot Box,” but the lyrics in the background cleared up her sentiments immensely. “You be f*cking anything that move, you got thot c*ck,” raps the star.

Yasmin appears to be handling this well but, for real, you can’t deny that G-Eazy did her dirty on this one.

To promote her new memoir Open Book, Jessica Simpson made her way by the Jimmy Kimmel stage this week and spoke about some of the topics in the book. One particular part in which Jess decided to talk about was an old kiss with Justin Timberlake, which she says was part of a bet between him and Ryan Gosling however.

“After divorce and he was out of a relationship, he was, like, over at my house, we shared a nostalgic kiss, but I thought, ‘Oh, this is interesting,'” she recalled. “And he took his phone out and started typing. And I was like, ‘Okay, I hope that’s not, like, another girl. Like, did I, like, stick my tongue out too much or, you know?’” she laughs.

She continues saying that Justin had a bet with Ryan Gosling from years ago on the Mickey Mouse club about who could kiss Jessica first, and he was apparently telling Gosling he won.

“But apparently him and Ryan Gosling had a bet on who would kiss me first when they were 12-years-old,” she continued. “And so, he texted Ryan and said he won the bet. And I was like, ‘Oh, okay. Um…So we don’t kiss again. That’s done.’”

Despite the nostalgic kiss with Timberlake, Jessica says she had more of a crush on Ryan Gosling than JT. “Ryan was the one that I was, like…when I was 12, I was, like, ‘This guy is so cool and he’s from Canada,” she dished. “I don’t know where that is on the map, but I really think that that’s amazing.’ And there was something so cute about him. But Justin won the bet.”

Check out that and more in the interview on Kimmel (below).
