Rihanna Hates Music, Ariana Grande Wants To Drop Scooter Braun, Kourtney and Travis are a Teenage Dream, Khloe and Tristan Are Still Clowns (Hollywood in Parts)
Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker
The first thing I ask my sources about when it comes to any new Hollywood couple is… “is this another PR?” Shockingly, in the case of Kourtney and Travis, the answer is no.
I’ve seen a lot of you guys talk about how they’re very attention-seeking and doing a lot of things to get talked about and while that is 100% true, there is no traditional-PR-agreement going on between them.
Kourtney and Travis have known each other for a very long time because they both lived together in the same neighborhood in Calabasas, California. Their kids genuinely get along and if they weren’t serious, they wouldn’t have brought the kids into it.

The paparazzi have been previously notified of their locations and they constantly have the PDA turned on max because they’re both in a new peak in their lives where they’re getting a lot more attention than they’re used to. Travis is part of Blink 182 and that rock star craze definitely died down throughout the years.
I made a video about them that was mainly focused on the shady parts of their relationship and that had to do with… Travis crushing OD on Kourtney’s younger sister, Kim Kardashian.
Travis has had a crush on Kim for MANY YEARS and he is on candid camera admitting to this in 2015. Even when he was dating Paris Hilton, he couldn’t deny how much “eye candy” Kim was. Now Travis’ ex-wife, Shanna Moakler, had to involve herself in this drama because what has-been wouldn’t take advantage of feuding with the Kardashians?

Shanna claims that Kim was the reason both she and Travis got divorced in the first place and now Kourtney is the reason why her kids won’t talk to her. Now I don’t know if Kim and Travis really had a fling because as I stated in the video, it was Travis who initially filed for divorce.
Kourtney’s PR rep claims that the “rumors” that Travis had a crush on Kim are not true, but… who said it was a rumor? This wasn’t something that started because of fans, but rather something that Travis said. Saying it’s a rumor was just damage control for the embarrassment they feel because Travis went on and on about how he was crushing on Kim. He went into details and when asked why nothing ever happened between them, he was like it just didn’t.
Watch my video for more details about that entire mess.
The tea is, Kim never really gave him the time of day. In the beginning when she was constructing her empire, Kim was very cautious about her brand. What did we talk about when it came to Kim & Kanye West? THEIR BRAND. Their relationship fell apart when their brand was no longer benefitting.
Either way, celebrities recycle each other all the time. I mean remember what I exposed about Kylie & Kendall Jenner recycling their men? To us, it’s weird. Would you get with someone who was crushing on your sister? Probably not, but they live in a backwards world.
As for Travis and Kourtney, they are serious but they LOVE the attention. I explained in my video that they come from 2 completely different worlds despite being in the same age group. Kourtney has always been used to being the more mature partner especially with her tumultuous relationship with Scott Disick. So after she closed that chapter for good, she looked for partners that made her feel young and not like she has to be in control of everything.
Travis is that for her. He’s this cool rock star and together, they feel like teenagers with their over the top PDA. As for him, Kourtney resembles the opposite of what she looks for. She’s this stable and confident woman that is perfect for him because she brings the calm that his lifestyle doesn’t have (as much calm as a Kardashian can bring, right?).
At the end of it all, they are truly into each other but also loveeeee the attention. And honestly? I like them together. Their PR teams leaked news that they are engaged but they’re also doubling down on the “rumors” that THEY leaked. So let’s see where it goes considering Kourtney branded herself as not the marriage type.
Khloe Kardashian and Tristan Thompson
Tristan cheats on Khloe every other weekend as we know. Nowadays, they’ve broken up yet again and this comes after the Sydney Chase drama.
“Why does Khloe insist on taking him back and looking like the clown?” everyone screams for the 87th time in their relationship if you can call it that considering there wasn’t a minute where he wasn’t cheating.
It’s simple—the Kardashians protect their own and a baby daddy qualifies as “their own.” They are all about their brand and if you have a kid with this person, they are your brand. Trust me, they’ve tried to rebrand Tristan… like at least be more cautious about your cheating but he truly doesn’t give a sh!t.
I promise you, celebrities can cheat in private. Celebrities can choose not to be photographed. There are places you go, people you talk to and these arrangements can be made but Tristan is truly careless about the relationship.

“So why is he feuding with Lamar Odom on Instagram?”
Isn’t it crazy that nothing is more clingy and territorial than a man who didn’t care for you in the first place? Call it a dick competition or dare I say it: guilt, but his “jealousy” over Khloe on Instagram is nothing more than something for show.
The Kardashians protect their own so don’t ever expect to see the last of Tristan even if he cheats in front of Khloe herself. This is the same reason as to why they’ve kept Scott around all these years despite the fact that some sources believe that he and Khloe had a fling. This is their backwards mentality, but they will be the same people to cry about the toxicity of others.
It’s funny actually.
Rihanna

I don’t know what Rihanna is doing currently with music or not (she was spotted filming something recently), but one thing you must know is that Rihanna doesn’t care about music. I’ll go as far as saying she doesn’t like doing it.
At first, I thought she was always rude to fans when they asked about new music because that’s the fan-celebrity dynamic they have, but no… she doesn’t want to do music and with the success of her other endeavors (Fenty Beauty, Savage Fenty, etc..), it showed her that she could truly quit music and still be the relevant icon she is.
I’d have to dig deeper to get more information about Rihanna and how she felt when she was an active musician, but as for now, there’s a reason as to why she hasn’t released an album since God knows when.
We talk a lot about how toxic the music industry is and trust me, these celebrities know that. You really think celebrities do music because it’s their “passion?” PLEASE.
How many passions would you have continued doing if you couldn’t monetize them? I’ve talked a lot about how Selena Gomez would retire music if that meant that she could have a big acting break.
Guess what? Rihanna had her big break in music and found an even bigger break in building an empire. An additional bonus for Rihanna is the fact she still stays RELEVANT despite not being in the music scene.
That’s why it’s tricky when it comes to celebrities turned into entrepreneurs. Will they still maintain relevancy? There are so many rich people that aren’t relevant and some celebrities can’t afford to lose their relevancy.
So when Rihanna is yelling at her fans who asked for the millionth time “where’s the album,” keep in mind that not even Rihanna wants to know where the album is.
Don’t get me wrong, she won’t quit music and she has been advised that a comeback album can be HUGE for her, but she knows that it’s something that she can quit and be 100% okay with.
Ariana Grande and Scooter Braun
For those of you who don’t know, Scooter Braun is Ariana’s manager. Scooter and Ariana have had an extremely rocky relationship and whenever I’ve talked about them, I always said that it wasn’t a personal connection like Justin Bieber and Scooter.
One Love Manchester
Scooter is practically Justin’s father, but with Ariana, that’s isn’t the case. I make it an effort to mention this because everyone always compares how Scooter is with each client.
In 2016, I exposed that Ariana fired Scooter. That was something that got confirmed in like 2020 when Scooter talked about how Ariana firing him, humbled him. In 2018, Scooter was talking about how it was a sh!tty boyfriend that impacted her decision to fire her.
Scooter can BS all he wants but both of us know that dealing with someone like Ariana means that she will always find a problem with something because nothing is ever good enough for her. At the time, I talked about how Ariana fired Scooter because her mother thought he wasn’t doing a good enough job with her. Her mom thought that she could manage Ariana better or she can find someone who can.
I suggest reading my 2020 Ariana Grande As A Person post because I went into depth about her and Scooter and I don’t want to reexplain old information.
In a different post, I spoke about how Selena Gomez had a cow when she heard that Demi signed with Scooter and then I went into detail about how Ariana scoped out the competition before “approving” of Scooter signing Demi. Read the full post here.
Important excerpt from that post:
I don’t know why people think that Scooter does Ariana dirty in terms of management and getting the best slots because… Ariana is constantly on his neck and she has him in check. She wasn’t afraid to fire him before and it’s not like she won’t threaten it again. Ariana is one of Scooter’s biggest clients after Justin so he likes to stay in her good graces. Scooter is like Justin’s father figure so he’ll be able to step into his life whenever he feels like it, but with Ariana, it’s like walking on eggshells depending on the situation… at least that’s how it’s been described to me in the past.
According to my source, there is a lot of tension between Scooter and Ariana and there has been for many months now. Ariana was reportedly looking into different managements and according to my source, she wants to drop Scooter.
That is… if she didn’t already.
I know Arianators think Ariana has a God-like complex in which they believe that she does things for the better good, but Ariana does what’s good for Ariana. Ariana doesn’t want to drop Scooter because of how he was a big bad wolf to poor wittle Taylor Swift. Ariana doesn’t give a sh!t about Taylor. Celebrities look out for each other the way the Kardashians protect their baby daddies.
Scooter is a kiss ass to Ariana and always has been because he doesn’t want to upset her. As I said, he’s always walking on eggshells around her. Ariana had no business having a say in whether or not Scooter signs his 3rd trainwreck and YET…. Scooter gave her a say.
Before talking to sources, I was like oh ho… yeah Ariana is the one with the power here.
Even in that Netflix special of hers, she had cute and personal nicknames for nearly everyone on her team and when it came to Scooter it was just like “manager.”
Everyone else:
Scooter:
manager 🌙 i hate him
When I tell you I peed laughing… the lighting tech got more of a description than the manager she’s had for nearly a decade.
Scooter recently had an entire cover story for Variety and his most popular clients gave quotes about him but one specific person who didn’t speak out was…. Ariana.
Demi, Justin, and J Balvin all gave quotes for the cover story but nope, not Ariana. And knowing Ariana, that was done on purpose.
Last year when it was Ariana’s birthday, Scooter made a whole montage for her and she still paid him dust.
Happy birthday to my sister and the Queen @arianagrande . She is beyond talented and brilliant, but her heart for others is what impresses me the most. She truly stands up for what she believes in. Ari we have been through some shit... and we are family. Love you Happy 27!❤️#ag27 pic.twitter.com/atWudhhIhe

For Demi’s birthday, it was like “happy bday.. nice to have you onboard I guess..” I’m not saying this to compare client relationships, but rather to show how much Scooter is trying to prove himself to Ariana.
So whenever I think about Ariana and Scooter’s relationship, I picture a dog yearning for his master’s love and his master just being negligent.
So that’s all for our first Hollywood in Parts post! Let me know what you guys thought about this HIP post, what did you like, what didn’t you like, and what would you like to be done in the future?
