The daily gossip: Adam Scott confronts co-star on alleged snub 29 years later, Shakira's ex makes relationship with new girlfriend Instagram official after brutal diss track, and more

1. Adam Scott confronts 'Boy Meets World' co-star on alleged snub 29 years later

Adam Scott can finally be at peace. On the Boy Meets World podcast Pod Meets World, the Parks and Recreation star confronted actor Rider Strong about an incident that has "been tugging at me for 29 years." Scott had a recurring role on the sitcom and recalled being on set for the second season finale. The cast and crew cheered and hugged after filming wrapped, so Scott went up to Strong and gave him a high five. But he then went in for a hug, and, as Scott recounted it, Strong pushed him off and gave him a confused look before running away. On the podcast, a shocked Strong said he doesn't remember this, leaving Scott feeling relieved that it wasn't awkward enough to stick with him. "I'm so glad you don't remember that because, to some extent, that means it wasn't a traumatic experience for you," Scott said. He just learned "closure" is the second most satisfying word starting with C after "calzone."

2. Shakira's ex makes relationship with new girlfriend Instagram official after brutal diss track

He'll see you a diss track and raise you an Instagram relationship rollout. Shakira's ex-boyfriend, Gerard Piqué, has gone Instagram official with his new girlfriend, 23-year-old Clara Chía Martí, after the singer recently dropped an absolutely brutal diss track slamming the two of them. Shakira and Piqué announced they were splitting last year amid rumors that he cheated on her, and in her new song, she sang, "I'm too good for you and that's why you're with someone just like you." She also seemed to reference Piqué's current relationship by singing about how "I'm worth two of 22 [year-olds]" and more. The Daily Mail later reported Shakira put up a "lifesize witch doll" on her balcony facing her former mother-in-law's house while playing the song at full blast. Amid all this drama, Piqué has shared a photo with Martí, submitted without comment but making them Instagram official. Does he want a sequel diss track? Because this is how you get a sequel diss track.

3. Julia Fox is fine with the mice in her apartment: 'I kind of let them rock'

Julia Fox, for one, welcomes her new mice overlords. The actress and model gave fans a "very underwhelming apartment tour" on TikTok, hoping it might make someone out there feel like they're "not doing so bad." She shows off a New York City apartment that's quite modest by celebrity standards, with a living room that she has turned into a bedroom. "Don't judge me," Fox says after giving a look at the "really messy" kitchen, adding that she lives in a small place because "I don't like excessive displays of wealth." Fox then reveals that, like a true New Yorker, she has a "small mouse problem," though it's more like a problem by the rest of society's standards. "I kind of let them rock," she says, adding that she appreciates that they "come out and clean up the crumbs" at night, so she's "not gonna evict the mice anytime soon." Besides, when you've dated Kanye West, living among mice is nothing.

4. Pamela Anderson slams 'a--holes' behind Hulu's 'Pam & Tommy'

Pamela Anderson is waiting on her apology. Speaking with Variety, the Baywatch star unleashed on the "a--holes" behind Hulu's Pam & Tommy. Starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan, the miniseries dramatized the story of the unauthorized release of Anderson's sex tape. But it was made without her involvement or approval, and she compared it to pouring "salt on the wound," telling Variety that those who made the show "still owe me a public apology" and she refuses to watch it. She added that from what she saw on billboards, "it just looked like a Halloween costume," and she revealed Tommy Lee sent her a note saying, "Don't let this hurt you like it did the first time." Still, Anderson has "nothing against" James, who "was just doing the job." But "the idea of the whole thing happening was just really crushing for me," she added. Maybe Stan tagging Anderson in his Instagram post celebrating the series' Emmy nominations wasn't such a great idea.

5. Keke Palmer reveals the sex of her baby, apparently by accident

Baby, this is Keke Palmer's baby … boy. The pregnant Nope star has revealed the sex of her upcoming first child, seemingly by accident. On The Tonight Show, Palmer told Jimmy Fallon her baby is "either going to be a Pisces or an Aries," noting that Pisces are known to be "deep" and "emotional creatures." So "I just want to make sure I'm not too blunt for my baby boy," she said. That's the first we're hearing that she's expecting a boy, and since she threw the "boy" in there without any fanfare, it seemed like it may have been a slip-up. This comes after Palmer, in what was very much not an accident, announced she was expecting a baby on Saturday Night Live by dramatically whipping open her jacket to reveal her pregnant belly. After doing her pregnancy reveal on SNL and her gender reveal on The Tonight Show, get ready for Palmer to give birth live on The Voice.
