Kourtney Kardashian offered a glimpse at how Travis Barker is helping to ring in her 42nd birthday.
The reality star took to Instagram on Saturday (April 17) to show off a grand floral arrangement that included an intricate hanging installation, giving Barker credit with a tag on the Instagram Story. She posted a black heart next to his name.
Barker shared the celebration with his followers the day before her birthday, too, re-posting the clip as an Instagram Story on his own account.
The couple have been sharing bits and pieces about their relationship on Instagram over the past couple months.
Last weekend, the Blink-182 drummer made a not-so-subtle comment on one of his posts to Kourtney — “All day I dream about sex w/ you,” he wrote — and he recently got her name tattooed on his chest. In February, they made their relationship official on Instagram with a photo of intertwined hands.

The legendary songwriter Diane Warren has accumulated a dozen best original song Oscar nominations across five different decades, but she has never taken home a statuette.
No other woman in history, across all Oscar categories, has ever remained winless through this many noms.
This could all change at the 93rd Oscars on April 25, as the 64-year-old’s latest nominated tune — “Io si (Seen)” from the film The Life Ahead, which she cowrote with Laura Pausini — has already won the best original song Golden Globe award, and is competing in a distinguished but wide-open Oscar race (unlike when previous tunes of hers came up against steamrollers like “My Heart Will Go On” and “Shallow”).
Warren sat down this week with The Hollywood Reporter at RealSongs, her Hollywood music publishing headquarters, and agreed to provide a high-speed trip down memory lane, playing a medley of all 12 songs that have earned her invitations to Hollywood’s biggest night.

John and T.J. Osborne, known as the country music duo Brothers Osborne, are opening up about their personal lives and career struggles.
In a preview of their upcoming interview on CBS Sunday Morning, the “I’m Not For Everyone” singers revealed that John, 38, experienced a mental health crisis in 2019 while working on the group’s third album, Skeletons.
“I remember calling our manager at the time,” John said. “And I told him, I’m like, I mean, ‘We can’t go into the studio. I don’t know what’s wrong with me — I don’t know why I’m not happy. I’m depressed. My anxiety is through the roof. I can’t sleep. My ears are ringing.’”
He added, “I was very reluctant to say anything. We grew up in a culture where if you fell over and skinned your knee, you just get up, don’t cry and walk it off. There comes a point in your life where you can’t do that anymore and you need to stop and sort your s— out.”
T.J. noted that he was concerned about his brother’s well-being at the time.
“I remember we were on stage and I could just look at him and tell he did not wanna be there. And that’s when I was like, ‘Wow, like, we need to go home now,’” the 36-year-old said, adding that Brothers Osborne canceled live dates as a result.
John eventually received the help he needed, but said that he contemplated leaving his music career behind.
“With a lot of therapy, a lot of self-help, a lot of love from my friends and family — I was able to kinda get to a better place so we can finish the album,” he said. “This is the God’s honest truth, going into this record, I considered quitting music … which is something I never in my life thought I would want to do.”
During the interview, which airs April 18 at 9 a.m. ET, T.J. also touched on coming out as a gay earlier this year.
“Once I finally made the decision to do what I was going to do, I felt very sure in that,” the musician said. “But it’s just really the fear of the unknown. … Do we lose fans?”
T.J. said he’s received strong support since making the announcement. “I’ve had an incredible amount of support,” he said. “And there’s been some people saying some off-color things to me. But it was a lot, a lot less than I expected.”

A new song from Joshua Bassett will be arriving soon.
“SURPRISE ! NEW SINGLE ‘FEEL SOMETHING’ MAY 7TH !” the musician and actor revealed on Instagram Friday night (April 16).
“Feel Something,” which follows Bassett’s self-titled debut EP that was released in March, will drop just a week ahead of the May 14 season two premiere of High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the Disney+ show on which Bassett is a series regular. Bassett stars as Ricky opposite Olivia Rodrigo’s Nini.
“It’s the most proud I’ve ever been of a body of work,” he said of his EP to Billboard in February. “I showed myself that I can really do more than what I thought. It’s got me all over it — people will be able to feel that when they listen to it.”
On Friday, he premiered a special one-off virtual concert, performing the songs from that EP and more.

Britney Spears is letting fans know that she’s doing okay amid her conservatorship battle and the #FreeBritney movement.
The 39-year-old pop superstar took to Instagram on Friday (April 16) to answer several commonly asked questions by fans, including inquiries about her mental health.
“The next question is, am I okay?” Spears says in the video. “Yes, I’m totally fine. I’m extremely happy. I have a beautiful home, beautiful children. I’m taking a break right now because I’m enjoying myself.”
In recent months, fans grew concerned about the singer’s life following the release of the New York Times documentary Framing Britney Spears, which chronicles her turbulent rise to fame and long-running conservatorship.
Spears has been in a conservatorship overseen predominantly by her dad since 2008. Many supporters of the #FreeBritney movement have come forward questioning whether a conservatorship over her personal and financial life still needs to be in place.
The pop star’s IG video addressed whether she gets dizzy from doing twirls in the many home-recorded dance clips she posts on social media.
“Yes, I get extremely dizzy,” Spears says. “But I’m a dancer, so as long as I have a focus for my head as I turn, as long as I keep finding that spot, usually in the end it’s not as bad.”
The singer also touched on a random picture she shared in late March of her vintage red refrigerator. “What does the red refrigerator mean on my Instagram? Honestly, I just thought it was cool,” she says. “I thought it was vintage, it was red. And it’s just really cool.”
In the caption, Spears explained that the video was recorded a day before she made a public appearance in Malibu, Calif., to do some shopping.
“This was me yesterday before I went to Malibu randomly in my boyfriend’s brown blazer to stay in disguise … but s— … the paps still found me!!!!” she wrote, adding that she discovered a “cool new” clothing store in the area. “I’m so excited for summer … what have you guys been up to ???”
