Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco are officially married! After two years together, the singer and actress, 33, and the music producer, 37, exchanged vows in California on Saturday, September 27. Gomez confirmed the happy news on Instagram with a series of intimate photos and videos from the ceremony, captioned simply: “🤍 9.27.25 🤍.” The couple, both dressed in Ralph Lauren, kept the celebration elegant yet heartfelt, with Gomez stunning in a halter-style gown featuring floral details and an open back, while Blanco opted for a classic black tuxedo and bowtie. In the photos, the newlyweds are seen embracing, holding hands, and sharing sweet moments, including Gomez fixing Blanco’s bowtie before kissing him.
Leading up to their wedding, the pair embraced the festivities with Gomez celebrating her bachelorette getaway in Cabo San Lucas and Blanco hosting his bachelor party in Las Vegas. Their nuptials drew anticipation across Hollywood, with Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building co-stars Martin Short and Steve Martin among those who hinted at being part of the guest list.

Nigerian singer Paul Okoye, better known as Rudeboy, has strongly denied an accusation circulating on X (formerly Twitter) that he assaulted a young domestic worker. The claim, made by a user identified as Ayomide Agboola, quickly gained traction after other users tagged Rudeboy in the post. Screenshots shared online suggested that Agboola accused the singer of both physical assault and subsequently sending his then-wife and sister-in-law out of his home. The account behind the allegation was deactivated shortly after the post began to spread.
Rudeboy issued a swift rebuttal on his official X account, calling the allegation false and pledging to take decisive legal steps against the poster. He vowed to use “every necessary means, power, resources and money” to identify and prosecute the individual, warning that he would “use you to set an example.” At present, neither party has provided verifiable evidence, and no police reports or legal documents regarding the matter have surfaced. The situation continues to unfold as fans and observers await further developments.

Tensions between Washington and Bogotá have flared after the U.S. State Department announced it was revoking the visa of Colombian President Gustavo Petro. The move followed Petro’s participation in a protest near the U.N. General Assembly in New York, where he urged American soldiers to defy orders from President Donald Trump. “We will revoke Petro’s visa due to his reckless and incendiary actions,” the State Department wrote on social media. During the demonstration, held in connection with the war in Gaza, Petro declared: “I ask all the soldiers of the United States’ army, don’t point your rifles against humanity” and “disobey the orders of Trump.”
Petro returned to Colombia on Saturday as scheduled, later confirming on X that he learned of the revocation only upon arrival. The Colombian leader, the first leftist president in the country’s history, insisted that international law protected his right to speak freely while attending the U.N., and added that he is also a European citizen, which exempts him from needing a visa to enter the U.S. The incident underscores worsening relations between the two countries. Once close allies on counternarcotics cooperation, Petro’s government has clashed repeatedly with Trump’s administration over drug policy, deportation flights, and the conflict in Gaza. In his U.N. address last week, Petro went further, calling for a criminal investigation of Trump and U.S. officials tied to recent Caribbean strikes. The White House has yet to clarify whether Petro’s visa status will impact future visits.

Solange Knowles is growing her Saint Heron platform with the launch of a new literary initiative. On Wednesday (September 25), the singer and creative director unveiled the “Saint Heron Digital Archive Library: Part I,” which went live at 6 p.m. ET on library.saintheron.com. Designed as a cultural and educational resource, the Saint Heron Library offers a curated collection of works by Black and Brown authors, poets, and artists, aiming to inspire creativity, support learning, and amplify historically significant voices.
The archive, which will release new collections seasonally, features rare and out-of-print books, zines, and catalogues available for free 45-day loans to U.S.-based readers. “We would like to play a small part in creating free access to the expansive range of critical thought and expression by these great mindsss,” Solange wrote in her announcement. This launch marks the first phase of the project, with Part II expected in the coming weeks. Since founding Saint Heron in 2013, Solange has positioned it as a multidisciplinary hub for music, art, and cultural preservation. With this library, she reinforces her role as a steward of Black and Brown creative expression, ensuring future generations can access and celebrate these vital works.
5. West Ham confirm Graham Potter’s firing amid woeful start to Premier League season
West Ham United can confirm that Head Coach Graham Potter has left the Club.
Full statement below.
— West Ham United (@WestHam) September 27, 2025
West Ham United have confirmed the dismissal of Graham Potter as head coach following a disastrous run of form that leaves the club 19th in the Premier League. The announcement, made on Saturday morning, also confirmed the departure of Potter’s entire backroom staff, including assistant coach Bruno Saltor and goalkeeper coach Casper Ankergren. The Hammers, who have managed just one win in five league games this season and were dumped out of the Carabao Cup by Wolves, now face Everton on Monday evening with no interim appointment yet named.
Potter, who previously managed at Brighton and Chelsea, was appointed in January to replace Julen Lopetegui but oversaw just six wins in 25 games. His dismissal marks another major setback in a managerial career once tipped for the England job. The club is now in the process of finding a replacement, with reports suggesting former Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo has already agreed personal terms. West Ham’s first game post-Potter comes against familiar opposition: Everton, led by David Moyes, the man who delivered the Hammers’ 2023 Conference League triumph. With relegation fears looming, the board is under pressure to secure a manager capable of steadying the ship.
