Cardi B used to be an exotic dancer, y’all. She’s not trying to hide it, and she’s not going to stop mentioning it.

The problem, you see, is your attitude about strippers.

“People say, ‘Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it,’” the “Bodak Yellow” rapper told Cosmopolitan in an occasionally NSFW interview for its April issue. “Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on….”

It’s not easy being a working mom, particularly if your day job includes being one of the greatest tennis players of all time.

So Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian Sr. is making sure his wife, tennis legend Serena Williams, never forgets where she ranks in his mind.

On Monday night, Ohanian Sr. shared a little surprise he and 5-month-old daughter Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. cooked up to boost Williams’ spirits as she travels to Indian Wells for the BNP Paribas Tournament next week.

“These actors have embodied some of the most heroic, aspirational and indelible characters ever brought to the screen,” producers Michael De Luca and Jennifer Todd said in a statement Tuesday. “In so doing, they’ve not only entertained the world, but illuminated the full range of the human experience.”

A play by Amanda Peet will replace Neil LaBute’s "Fat Pig" this summer at the Geffen Playhouse, the L.A. theater announced Monday, adding more mystery to the cancellation of LaBute plays at multiple venues.

Chrissy Metz of “This Is Us” was to have made her stage debut in “Fat Pig,” which was added to the Geffen schedule just two months ago. “Fat Pig” was to have replaced LaBute’s “The Way We Get By,” part of this season’s original schedule announced in February 2017.

The Geffen did not offer an explanation for the LaBute cancellation and did not immediately respond to a request for an interview.

Actor Justin Theroux has been radio silent on social media since his split with Jennifer Aniston was announced earlier this month.

But with a little help from some friends, the “Leftovers” star made a triumphant return to Instagram on Sunday night: Theroux posted a bundle of photos of himself and perfect puppies from Austin Pets Alive, a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing the euthanizing of adoptable dogs and cats.

“Texas!!!,” Theroux wrote in the caption accompanying his photos. “Another very inspiring visit with the incredible people and pups @austinpetsalive.”
