[HELP] Lenovo Yoga Tab 2 1050F Softbricked

So i rooted my Yoga tab just a few hours ago and it went great. Booted back in and installed some apps and started to remove some apps.

Gaming pc

Sorry if this is stupid but that’s just me. My son passed away and he had a really nice gaming pc. I haven’t fooled with it yet and I don’t game. I was curious if these type of pcs can be used for normal computing as is or if I need to do some modifications to do so? Is there a process to go through to get it to work say through Windows? My laptop is about to die and instead of buying a new one I thought we might try his first. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chrissy Teigen Jokes What She Would Have Worn to Met But 'Wasn't Invited' 

Chrissy Teigen Jokes About Not Being Invited to the Met

May 7 marked the first Tuesday in May, making it the most important Tuesday, according to Chrissy Teigen

While presenting the Design Innovator Award to Cult Gaia’s Jasmin Larian Hekmat at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards New York City, Teigen, 38, said the day was a major one, jokingly referencing the Met Gala on Monday, May 6. For years, the Met Gala has been hailed as the biggest day of the year and is always hosted on the first Monday in May. 

Before going on to praise Hekmat’s talent and formidable impact on the fashion industry (she created the beloved Ark bag), Teigen told the audience that she “wasn’t invited” to the exclusive soirée but had an outfit to wear if she were. 

“I would have worn this,” Teigen said, directing attention to her floor-length mesh gown, which featured floral appliqués throughout.

All the Red Carpet Fashion From the 2024 Met Gala: What the Stars Wore

The design would have aligned perfectly with the Met’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” theme and “Garden of Time” dress code.

Many attendees, including Zendaya, Kylie Jenner, Kelsea Ballerini and Queen Latifah, incorporated florals into their looks. 

Zendaya, 27, made Met history when she walked the Met red carpet twice, first in a Maison Margiela Couture gown featuring a forest green corset and a navy blue skirt. The design, which was also equipped with dark fruit embellishments, was a reinterpretation of a Dior spring/summer 1999 garment. Hours later, she reemerged on the carpet in a billowing black Givenchy gown, topping the look off with a bouquet of flowers on her head.

Jenner, 26, looked refreshingly elegant in a “rose water” silk gown by Oscar de la Renta, accessorizing with florals in her hair. Ballerini, 30, was covered in pink petals thanks to Michael Kors and Latifah, 54, made her Met debut in Thom Browne

Style File: This Week in Looks

While Teigen wasn’t present at the 2024 soirée, she has attended Mets in the past. 

She was a vision at the 2017 gala, rocking Marchesa for the “Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garcons: Art Of The In-Between” theme. Teigen also graced the 2015 event in a timeless black St. John dress. That year, the theme was “China: Through the Looking Glass.” One year earlier, she was a must-see in a metallic halter gown for the “Charles James: Beyond Fashion” party. At her first Met in 2011, she delivered drama in a black beaded Chris March gown that featured feathers throughout

Andy Cohen Really Isn't Sleeping With John Mayer: 'Let Them Speculate!'

Andy Cohen Tells People to Speculate About Him and John Mayer But Theyre Not Sleeping Together

Andy Cohen knows what some people say about his and John Mayer’s relationship.

Cohen, 55, was asked about speculation that he and Mayer, 46, are more than friends during a Hollywood Reporter profile published on Wednesday, May 8.

“Let them speculate! I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me,” Cohen replied. “But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in. They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not.”

The talk show host has been friends with Mayer for years and has admitted that their bond is somewhat surprising.

Ayesha and Steph Curry and Lindsay Lohan and More Surprising Celeb BFFs

“John Mayer and I have what some would consider an unlikely friendship,” he wrote for a 2015 Entertainment Weekly article. “He’s one of our greatest living guitarists, and I’m regarded as the dude that stirs the s—t on late-night TV.”

Cohen documented the pair’s road trip to see the Grateful Dead in the article, noting that they went to a gay bar together where Mayer acted as his wingman. (Mayer joined the band Dead & Company with several former Grateful Dead members in 2015.)

“As the night went on, we wound up on the dance floor and — from what I remember — it was nothing short of euphoric,” Cohen wrote.

The twosome have continued to share heartwarming insights into their friendship since then. In 2021, Cohen posted a screenshot of himself and Mayer enjoying a FaceTime chat.

John Mayer’s Dating History: Jessica, Jen, Katy and More

“End of day Kiki with my dreamy friend. Of note: we’re both wearing jammies! Have a good show tonight, @johnmayer @deadandcompany,” he captioned the shot, in which Mayer stared broodingly at the camera.

Andy later proved that even his mom, Evelyn Cohen, is tight with the singer-songwriter when he shared a photo of her steaming one of Mayer’s shirts.

“My mom stops at nothing to help other house guests!” he captioned the August 2023 Instagram snap.

Mayer, meanwhile, had an opportunity to gush about Andy when he delivered a speech at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in February 2022.

Celebrity BFFs: Hollywood's Closest Pals

“His voice on radio, his humor and charm on his nightly late-night talk show, and his reality TV dynasty all bring a much-needed ray of sunshine into our lives,” Mayer said. “Making our morning drives a little less soul-crushing, our nights a little less lonely, and allowing us to feel as if we have a friend up there, among the Hollywood stars.”

Andy addressed the touching tribute in Wednesday’s Hollywood Reporter profile.

“When he inducted me into the Hollywood Walk of Fame, John Mayer said that I unwittingly have become a gay best friend to people who never had a gay best friend. That really moved me,” he said. “There’s a lot of moms who have come up to me at book signings and say, ‘I watched your show for years with my son, who then wound up coming out of the closet, and having you meant a lot to us.’”

Nicholas Galitzine Addresses Questions About His Sexuality After Gay Roles 

Nicholas Galitzine Addresses Questions About His Sexuality: ‘I Identify as a Straight Man’

Nicholas Galitzine is weighing in on the conversation surrounding his sexuality after finding his niche playing queer characters.

The actor, 29, swiftly became the internet’s boyfriend after starring in Amazon Prime’s queer rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue, which tells the story of a prince falling in love with the president’s son. Six months later, he played George Villiers, the son of a countess who seduces King James I in the drama miniseries Mary & George.

“I identify as a straight man, but I have been a part of some incredible queer stories,” Galitzine told GQ in an interview published Wednesday, May  8. “I felt a sense of uncertainty sometimes about whether I’m taking up someone’s space, and perhaps guilt. At the same time, I see those characters as not solely their sexuality.”

The British actor also pushed back on fans conflating him with his characters. “I am Nick, and I’m not my role,” he said.

'Red, White and Royal Blue': Biggest Changes Between the Book and Movie

Galitzine has been open about the gravitational pull LGBTQ+ stories have for him, telling Huffington Post UK that there are a “plethora of reasons” behind his desire to star in films with queer themes. “One, I have so many friends within the community, and I know so many of them didn’t feel like they had these stories growing up,” he noted earlier this year.

He explained that his role in Red, White & Royal Blue particularly spoke to his chums in the gay community. “My gay friends were like, ‘Wow, to have something cheesy and broad and wholesome is, like, really, really important,’ and I think the resonance of that means a lot to me,” he said.

There’s an added layer to the roles that stands out as well, Galitzine explained. “I think with all of these characters the thing that I find really intriguing as an actor is that underbelly of vulnerability and having to hide oneself,” he continued. “I’m very interested in identity.”

Anne Hathaway Stars in New Film ‘The Idea of You’: Everything to Know

Most recently, Galitzine starred alongside Anne Hathaway in the rom-com The Idea of You. The film, based on the novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, follows a divorced mother (Hathaway) who starts up a romance with a much younger pop star (Galitzine). While promoting the movie, which hit Amazon Prime on Thursday, May 2, Galitzine shared that he was drawn to the film’s subversive nature, which contradicts the typical rom-com archetypes.

“The notion that this movie promotes female pleasure as this sort of protagonist I think is really interesting and unique, and obviously displays an age-gap love that we don’t usually see on screen between a younger man and an older woman,” he told Hits Radio in March. “It was very exciting in that way, as well.”

Ariana Madix is firing back at a Love Island fan who had some words to say about her new hosting gig.

“You are no Maya [Jama],” one user wrote on Madix and Peacock’s joint Instagram post teasing the new season of Love Island USA, referring to the host of the U.K.’s Love Island.

“That’s obvious, dear,” Madix, 38, replied. “I could never be nor am i trying to be the queen that is maya jama. and guess what? it would be weird if i did. i am me and i am going to bring my best self to my dream hosting job doing what i do best: BE MYSELF. have a good day.”

In the teaser for Love Island USA, uploaded via social media, Madix reads a text that said, “Ariana Madix, will you host Peacock’s new Love Island USA?” to which she enthusiastically replied, “Yes!”

Madix proceeded to pack her bags and head off on a day full of travels — including riding a Vespa, on top of an airplane and on a surfboard. “Who’s ready to couple up?” Madix asked as she hit the sand, with a wink.

The Vanderpump Rules star confirmed in March that she was tapped as the new host of Love Island USA. “Talk about a bombshell. This summer, I’m trading rhinestone buckles for bikinis,” Madix shared in an Instagram video. “I’m hosting the next season of Love Island USA, streaming this summer on Peacock. I can’t wait to stir up some trouble in paradise.”

‘Love Island USA’ Status Check: Which Couples Are Still Together?

Madix filmed the clip seemingly standing on the stage in New York City’s Ambassador Theatre for her stint as Roxie Hart in Chicago. “See you in the villa for an all new season of @loveislandusa hosted by me!” she captioned the video.

Madix’s announcement came after rumors that she was taking over for former host Sarah Hyland, who announced her exit from the show days before.

“Well, just got a text 😂. I’m disappointed the news had to break this way but it is in fact true that I will not be returning to the island this summer,” Hyland, 33, wrote in an Instagram Story post in March. “I have committed to an exciting project, that will be announced soon, that conflicts directly with the shooting dates for Love Island USA. While I’m sad I can’t return, I hope to see lots of love this summer on Peacock this upcoming season!”

Love Island USA airs on July 11 on Peacock.

Kate Hudson reminisced about her marriage to Chris Robinson — and shared why the couple ultimately went in “different directions.”

Hudson, 45, discussed her time with the Black Crowes frontman, 57 — who she was married to from 2000 to 2007 — during a Tuesday, May 7, appearance on The Howard Stern Show.

“My relationship with Chris was so beautiful and there was so much love there, but I really did grow out of it, and it was a very hard breakup,” Hudson told Stern, 70. “That was not an easy breakup. I was very in love with him, but it wasn’t going to be the rest of my life.”

Hudson was only 21 when she and Robinson got married. The couple welcomed their first and only child, son Ryder, when Hudson was 24.

“I was like a baby,” Hudson said of that time. “When my life really started to really take off and I wanted to go in different directions, we literally just weren’t in the same space to keep going.”

Hudson called her ex-husband “brilliant” and “really funny,” but acknowledged his desire to live “as a nomad and an artist,” which she said “can be hard for relationships.”

Robinson recently opened up about the dissolution of the marriage, as well, telling the Sydney Morning Herald the relationship “was over before our son Ryder was 2 years old.”

“I am not afraid of the realities that befall all of us when things go wrong,” Robinson said in a story published May 2, “and I take a lot of pride in being responsible as a parent.”

Prior to Hudson, Robinson was married to Lala Sloatman from 1996 to 1998. Robinson married second wife Allison Bridges in 2009, and the couple welcomed daughter Cheyenne later that year. The pair divorced in 2018.

Robinson married his fourth wife, Camille Johnson, in January 2020.

Kate Hudson’s Dating History: A Timeline of Her Famous Romances 

Hudson, meanwhile, was engaged to Muse frontman Matt Bellamy from 2011 to 2014. The couple welcomed son Bingham in 2011.

She is currently engaged to music producer Danny Fujikawa, with whom she shares daughter Rani, 5.

Hudson and Fujikawa, 37, are currently figuring out wedding plans. On Tuesday, she told Andy Cohen on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live that the couple wants to tie the knot “soon.”

“I just don’t want to plan a wedding,” Hudson noted. “It’s such a bummer.”

Though Hudson acknowledged, “I want the party. I love a party. That’s the only problem.”

Rebecca Minkoff Hints at What She'd Want 'RHONY' Fans to See From Her

Rebecca Minkoff Plays Coy About Maybe Joining RHONY Season 15

After being spotted filming with the group, Rebecca Minkoff is playing coy about reports that she’s the newest Real Housewives of New York City cast member.

“Maybe,” Minkoff, 43, teased to Us Weekly exclusively when asked about the RHONY rumors at the Accessories Council Excellence Awards on Tuesday, May 7.

“There’s a side of me that’s very lighthearted, funny and very dorky,” Minkoff continued. “If I were to be on the show, I would want people to see that side of me.”

Reports regarding Minkoff’s stint on the show started swirling last month after Deadline revealed that the designer joined RHONY in an unspecified role. Production sources later confirmed to Us that Minkoff had “been shooting with some of the ladies for the upcoming season.”

Former ‘RHONY’ Stars: Where Are They Now?

Further details about her role are being kept under wraps for now, the insider added.

RHONY premiered via Bravo in March 2008 and aired for 13 seasons before being put on pause. In July 2023, the revamped RHONY officially aired its 14th season with an entire new cast, including Sai De Silva, Ubah Hassan, Erin Lichy, Jenna Lyons, Jessel Taank and Brynn Whitfield.

As season 14 came to an end in October 2023, the future of the franchise was up in the air. Bravo officially announced season 15 in March, revealing all of the women were set to return.

Initially, there were rumors that Lyons, 55, would be handing in her apple, but the fashion industry mogul was the one “to dispel the rumors” in the season 15 teaser.

Lyons revealed on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen in October 2023 that her “thorn” from her inaugural RHONY season was “the whole show.” The Bravo star was quick to backtrack, adding that “realizing how hard it was” came as a shock.

These Celebs Love ‘The Real Housewives’

“I really thought I was going to have an easier time. It was hard,” she admitted. “It’s shocking when you actually have cameras on you. I thought I could handle it, and I cried.”

While speaking to Us exclusively at the time, Lyons admitted she doesn’t “understand” how she became a fan-favorite cast member, noting that it was “100 percent” a surprise.

“I do find the passion and the loyalty from the fans really incredible,” she continued. “It makes the process more fun.”

Lyons added: “After my first couple of days filming with big personalities like Ubah and Brynn, I didn’t think anyone would even remember my name. Let alone fangirl and fanboy on the street.”

Kate Beckinsale Dresses Up as an Old Man in Response to Online Trolls

Kate Beckinsale is getting creative about responding to critics who have accused her of getting plastic surgery and not wearing “age appropriate” clothes.

The 50-year-old actress dressed up in old man prosthetics in a series of Instagram photos and videos uploaded on Wednesday, May 8. She looked unrecognizable as she posed in a wheelchair, wearing a white suit and cradling a white fluffy cat.

Beckinsale captioned the first photo: “New deal. This is all you’re getting. Hope it is less triggering and more what you consider age appropriate. Sayonara bitches.”

Kate Beckinsale’s Ups and Downs Over the Years

Three days prior, on Sunday, May 5, Beckinsale wrote a lengthy Instagram post in which she blamed social media users for bullying her over plastic surgery rumors.

“I hate talking about this because I hate adding to this conversation but I’m doing it because insidious bullying of any kind over time takes a toll,” she wrote in the post.

Beckinsale went on to lament that for the past 20-odd years, she has been accused of getting plastic surgery, Botox and fillers in an effort to look younger.

“It’s really such a tiresome and subtly vicious way to bully a person,” she continued, adding, “Whatever someone looks like, accusing them constantly of things they haven’t done, or being obsessed with youth when actually, currently I’m obsessed with surviving loss, is bullying. Please stop now.”

Ariana Grande and More Stars Who Opened Up About Plastic Surgery

The Fool’s Paradise actress made her red carpet return on Thursday, May 2, at the King’s Trust Gala in New York City, after disappearing from the spotlight in March due to undisclosed health issues.

While on the red carpet, Beckinsale revealed to People that she has found 2024 far from easy.

“It’s been a rough year,” she said. “Because my parents have both been unwell and my cat … it’s been a bunch of things. So that’s why it’s nice to come and see friends and have a little perspective. Everyone’s had a bit of a rough year, I think.”

Frankie Valli's Family Guide: Meet His 6 Children and Their Mothers

In addition to his legendary music career, Frankie Valli is a father of six.

The Four Seasons frontman first became a father figure in 1957 when he married ex-wife Mary Mandel, who shared daughter Celia with a former partner. Valli and Mandel later welcomed two more children together before they divorced in 1971.

Valli went on to marry Mary Ann Hannigan. After eight years together, the pair separated, and Valli moved on with Randy Clohessy. The twosome welcomed three sons before they ultimately split in 2004.

The Grease singer has also weathered his fair share of tragedy. Celia died in 1980 after falling off a fire escape. Months later, Valli’s daughter Francine died of a drug overdose.

“To be very honest with you, sometimes I don’t know. It was a very tough period for me. You would think that as time went by it would get easier,” Valli told The Telegraph in a 2018 profile. “But it doesn’t. You should never lose a child.”

Nearly six years later, Valli was granted a protective order against his son Francesco. According to court documents obtained by People in May 2024, Valli’s son Emilio filed documents on behalf of himself and the musician, requesting that Francesco cease any contact with the family. Emilio claimed that Francesco repeatedly threatened him and Valli and allegedly stole his father’s personal belongings.

Mary Mandel

Valli and Mandel were married from 1957 to 1971. Upon their nuptials, Valli became stepfather to Mandel’s daughter from a previous relationship, Celia. Together, they welcomed two more daughters.

Antonia ‘Toni’ Valli

Toni is the eldest daughter of Valli and Mandel. Toni later married Gerry Polci, a member of her father’s Four Seasons band, in 1987.

“I first saw him when I was 15,” she previously told The New York Times in 1995. “I fell in love with him the first time I ever saw him. My father had been raving about him as a drummer — the best he had ever heard, he said — but when he saw how I felt about Gerry, my father said I wasn’t going to marry any musician.”

Toni and Polci welcomed children Olivia and Dario ahead of their eventual divorce. Olivia is a Broadway actress, who once played Mandel in a 2019 production of Jersey Boys.

Francine Valli

Valli and Mandel welcomed Francine in 1960. She died at the age of 20 in 1980 after an accidental drug overdose.

Francesco, born in 1988, is Valli’s first son with Clohessy. Like his niece Olivia, Francesco is an actor who appeared in Full House, The House Bunny and Reach Me.

Francesco’s brother Emilio filed a temporary restraining order against him in April 2024, claiming that Francesco was “addicted to opiates” and allegedly broke into Valli’s home to steal his belongings. A judge granted the order one month later, barring Francesco from having any contact with Valli and his siblings.

“Frankie is saddened by these unfortunate events and appreciates that his privacy will be respected as he works out these family issues,” a rep for the singer said in a statement at the time.

Brando and Emilio joined Valli at his Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in May 2024.

“This is really a highlight of my life, especially having my sons here and my wife sitting right there,” Valli said at the time, referring to Jacobs and the twins.
