Pete Davidson praises Kim Kardashian in rare comments about his ex

The king of Staten Island has nothing but good things to say about the queen of the Kardashians.
“Isn’t it crazy Kim’s good at acting?” Pete Davidson, 32, asked Nikki Glaser about his ex-girlfriend, Kim Kardashian, on Friday’s episode of his “The Pete Davidson Show.”
“I remember when we were dating, one day she was just like, ‘I think I’m gonna be an actress.’ And I was just like, ‘F–k yeah!’ And then [she’s] just good at it and I’m like, ‘Get the f–k out of here.’ She’s so good at acting.”
Kardashian made her acting debut on Season 12 of “American Horror Story: Delicate” in 2023.
Then, in 2025, the Skims mogul landed a starring role on Hulu’s “All’s Fair.”
Kardashian is now starring in and producing the upcoming Netflix comedy “The Fifth Wheel,” which also features Glaser.
The comic went on to sing the mom of four’s praises while on Davidson’s show, calling her co-star “so smart.”
“Anything she wants to do, she will do it,” Glaser gushed, “especially if people are like, ‘You can’t do this.’ And for her to go into acting with all the public perception of her anyway, she knew … everyone’s gonna look for her to fail.”
From the Golden Globes host’s point of view, it’s impressive to take on a project where “you know people are gonna try to find your weakness.”
Davidson called the business woman “superhuman.”
The “Bodies Bodies Bodies” actor also confessed that he “learned from” Kardashian that she can do anything she puts her mind to, despite public opinion.
“Like, she don’t [sic] give a f–k. It’s unbelievable,” Davidson mused.
The exes dated for nine months from October 2021 to August 2022 after Kardashian divorced her ex-husband Kanye West.
At the time, the disgraced rapper allegedly spread unfounded rumors that Davidson was gay and had AIDS.
A source close to West, however, denied the claims, calling them “nonsense.”
An insider in Davidson’s camp told Page Six in the moment that the “King of Staten Island” star was “ignoring all of the Kanye hate out of respect for Kim.”
Despite the public drama, a source claimed that there was no bad blood when Davidson and Kardashian split.
“Kim and Pete have decided to just be friends,” a source close to Kardashian told Page Six at the time.
“They have a lot of love and respect for each other, but found that the long distance and their demanding schedules made it really difficult to maintain a relationship.”
Kardashian was then briefly linked to NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. before they split in April 2024.
In February, Kardashian’s secret romance with Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton was revealed.
The pair has been inseparable ever since.
For his part, Davidson dated Elsie Hewitt for a little over a year from March 2025 until earlier this month.
The two welcomed daughter Scottie in December before going their separate ways.

Martina McBride quits Freedom 250 festival meant to celebrate America’s birthday

Country star Martina McBride has dropped out of the Freedom 250 concert series one day after it was announced, claiming the event celebrating America’s 250th birthday was “misleading.”
The singer revealed Thursday that she would no longer appear at the President Trump-affiliated Freedom 250 Presents: The Great American State Fair, the free 16-day festival set to take over the National Mall in Washington, D.C., with concerts, military tributes and patriotic bashes for America’s 250th anniversary.
“I was presented with the opportunity to perform at a nonpartisan event, but that turned out to be misleading,” McBride wrote on Instagram.
“I asked lots of questions and was assured this was a nonpartisan event that was meant to celebrate ALL 50 states. In my mind I thought this was a great way to celebrate the states and also bring people together in the way that only music can.”
“Yesterday things started changing and what we were told is, in fact, not what is happening,” she continued.
“I’ve spent my entire career singing about real people with real issues. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to be a voice for those who have felt like they didn’t have one.”
“It greatly upsets me that any fan who has been moved by my music may now feel like I’m abandoning the meaning behind those songs. I assure you, that is not the case,” she added.
McBride had been scheduled to perform on June 25, the opening night of the festival, which is designed to celebrate America’s history, culture and music.
Her exit aligned with a handful of other cancellations after the lineup was unveiled this week, with Bret Michaels, Young MC, Morris Day & The Time and The Commodores also backing out.
Michaels echoed McBride’s comments in an Instagram post Thursday night.
“When this opportunity was originally presented to my team, it was described as a celebration of our country through music and a chance to honor our veterans, active military, first responders, teachers and hardworking Americans from all walks of life,” he said.
“Unfortunately, what was presented to us as a celebration of our country has evolved into something much more divisive than what I agreed to be a part of.”
But several acts are still enthusiastically on board — including Vanilla Ice, Flo Rida and C+C Music Factory.
There was some confusion after Milli Vanilli was announced to perform at the festival. However, singer Jodie Rocco — one of the original studio vocalists behind the group — told the Associated Press that neither she nor any other member had been asked to appear.
But surviving Milli Vanilli frontman Fab Morvan confirmed he plans to perform and embraced the event’s patriotic message.
“I am here to entertain and unite people, not divide them,” Morvan said in a statement. “Let’s celebrate life & music and take a trip down memory lane.”
Vanilla Ice is also standing by the event. A rep for the rapper told the Associated Press he is “proud to help celebrate America’s 250th Anniversary!”
“Everyone is welcome to attend and celebrate USA’s Birthday and our Freedom!” the rep added.
Freedom 250 was launched by Trump last year and describes itself as a “national, non-partisan organization leading the celebration of our Nation’s 250th birthday.” Former State Department official Keith Krach was appointed CEO.
The Great American State Fair runs June 25 through July 10 and will include concerts, state showcases and special programming including Military & Veterans Appreciation Day, Faith Values and Inspiration Day and MAHA Monday, focused on Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s Make America Healthy Again initiative.

‘Sex and the City’ alum reveals surprising career move after coming out of hiding

And just like that, Jason Lewis is an author.
The “Sex and the City” alum, 54, revealed he moved to Costa Rica and wrote a nine-book fantasy series, a week after emerging on Instagram for the first time in three years.
During an interview with the Hollywood Reporter Thursday, Lewis revealed he spent his time in Central America surfing, learning Spanish and waking up — sometimes at 4 a.m. — to work on his trilogies.
“I do my thing and walk the beach or run the beach if the surf isn’t good yet and then have my coffee and settle in and get to the desk and have a session,” he detailed.
After breakfast he heads back to his desk and tries to “get anywhere from 1,000 to 2,000 words on the page a day.”
The books are all “set in the same world in different eras,” with the “Sex and the City 2” star releasing the seventh book first.
“I chose to start at the end,” Lewis told the outlet, stating that his novels land under the “epic fantasy” genre.
The actor shared that his return to social media was at the behest of his representation, but he doesn’t want “to get lost in the idea of performative posting.”
“I very much like to try and create a community,” Lewis expressed, “and not just be in the broadcast of, ‘Hey, check me out. Aren’t I awesome?’”
However, the writer knows he has to grow an audience that will take interest in his books, so he “put a lot of thought” into his first post back.
On May 21, Lewis uploaded a video of himself walking on the beach to the social media platform.
He cryptically explained to his followers why it “was time” to finally return to the app.
“I went quiet,” Lewis admitted. “Not because I have nothing to say, but because I had something to do.”
“The kind of creative work that doesn’t leave room for much else, and I made my peace with that. It’s the kind of work that needs to find its people, though.”
At the time, Lewis didn’t key his fans into his writing, but did say the project was “far enough along now that it felt like it was time to resurface and share what I’ve been doing.”
The former model captioned his post, “After three years, it was time.”
Lewis left the public eye after competing on Season 31 of “Dancing With the Stars” in 2022.
He and his dance partner, Peta Murgatroyd, were the first pair eliminated.
Lewis credited his fianceé, actress Liz Godwin, with convincing him to give the ABC show a shot.
“This year, when the offer came in, my fiancée asked me to be a little less pigheaded and at least take a look at a show,” he told People at the time.
Lewis first gained popularity for portraying Samantha Jones’ (Kim Cattrall) young model boyfriend Smith Jerrod on “Sex and the City” from 2003 to 2004.
He then starred in the 2008 “Sex and the City” movie and its sequel in 2010.
Despite being a fan-favorite, Lewis — whose last acting role was in 2018’s “Midnight, Texas” — was not asked to return for the show’s reboot series, “And Just Like That.”
“As much as I appreciate the flattery,” Lewis expressed to the Daily Front Row at the time, “the conversation is about the girls.”
