Most Memorable Moments From the 82nd Golden Globes

Published

on

Golden Globes

It’s a wrap for the 2025 Golden Globe Awards. This year’s ceremony occurred at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, hosting many of Hollywood’s biggest names. From the most iconic looks to the funniest encounters and historic wins, here are the most memorable moments from the 82nd Golden Globes.

Zendaya showed off a gorgeous $200,000 engagement ring while walking the red carpet.

Zendaya’s red carpet appearance at this year’s Golden Globes turned many heads (as usual), but this time for more than just her stunning look.

Multiple cameras captured the sparkling $200K diamond ring the “Dune” star was wearing on her engagement finger, which fueled speculation that the 28-year-old might be secretly engaged to her long-time boyfriend, Tom Holland.

TMZ reported this morning that the couple is indeed engaged. According to the publication, sources close to the couple have confirmed that “the’ Spider-Man ‘ star popped the question between Christmas and New Year’s… dropping to one knee in a very intimate setting in one of Zendaya’s family homes in the United States.” 👀💍

Anthony Mackie hilariously crashes Sebastian Stan’s Golden Globes Post-Win Interview.

Anthony Mackie took over Sebastian Stan’s post-win interview with ET’s Nischelle Turner. ‘The Falcon and the Winter Soldier’ co-stars caught up after Stan won Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical or Comedy for ‘A Different Man’ at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards.

Vin Diesel had a brief and awkward interaction with Dwayne Johnson

Vin Diesel made sure to give a quick “hey” to “Fast and Furious” co-star Dwayne Johnson when he took the stage to present the award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at last night’s Golden Globes👀

“Hey, Dwayne,” Diesel awkwardly said, smiling, while Johnson responded with a quick and subtle smile.

For context, Diesel and Johnson have been on good terms for the last few years despite their infamous feud, which lasted roughly nine years and involved disagreements during the production of “Fast 8.”

A source told People magazine in 2016 that “Vin has been having problems with The Rock because The Rock keeps showing up late for production. ” The source also explained that “sometimes he doesn’t show up at all, and he’s delaying the production.”

That same year, Johnson wrote (in a since-deleted Instagram post), “There’s no other franchise that gets my blood boiling more than this one…. My female co-stars are always amazing, and I love ’em. My male co-stars, however, are a different story. Some conduct themselves as stand up men and true professionals, while others don’t,” he continued. “The ones that don’t are too chicken s— to do anything about it anyway. Candy a-—. When you watch this movie next April and it seems like I’m not acting in some of these scenes and my blood is legit boiling — you’re right.”

Later, in June of 2023, Johnson announced that Luke Hobbs would return to the Fast and Furious franchise (for FastX: Part II) via a post on X (formerly known as Twitter). He added, “Last summer, Vin and I put all the past behind us. We’ll lead with brotherhood and resolve – and always take care of the franchise, characters & FANS that we love. “

Zoe Saldana won her first-ever Golden Globe Award for “Emilia Perez.”

Zoe Saldana won her first-ever Golden Globe for Female Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture for her role as Rita Mora Castro in Jacques Audiard’s avant-garde film Emilia Pérez.

The actress honored her fellow castmates in an emotional and moving speech.

“I don’t have much time, and I have dyslexia, so I tend to forget when I’m really anxious and I’m filled with adrenaline, but my heart is full of gratitude,” Saldana kicked off her speech. “Thank you so much to the Golden Globes for celebrating our film and honoring the women of Emilia Pérez. This is the first time for me, and I’m just so blessed that I’m sharing this moment with Selena, and Karla, and Jacque, and all of my fellow nominees. I’m in awe of you, your strength, your complexity, and your undeniable talent.”

Morris Chestnut attended his first Golden Globes, accompanied by his wife of 30 years, Pam Byse-Chestnut.

Morris and Pam Chestnut showed up and showed out for their first Golden Globe Awards. The couple, who tied the knot in 1995, will celebrate 30 years of marriage this year!

Published

on

Diddy: The Making Of The Bad Boy

The trailer for “P. Diddy: The Making of The Bad Boy,” a new documentary set to premiere on Peacock, has dropped.

The 90-minute documentary gives an unfiltered look into the life and career of Sean “Diddy” Combs, from his early years to his current legal battles. It explores Combs’ transformation through the years, from his beginnings as Puff Daddy to his later persona, Diddy. The doc delves into the forces that shaped him, both the triumphs and the controversies, portraying a narrative that aims to challenge public perceptions of the mogul.

The trailer features exclusive interviews with individuals from the mogul’s inner circle, including childhood friends, his former bodyguard, and participants from his reality show “Making the Band.” Notably, Al B. Sure!, a former labelmate at Uptown Records and once involved with Kim Porter before she dated Combs, also speaks out about his relationship with Diddy for the first time.

Those shown in the documentary discuss Diddy’s rise to fame and the darker allegations that have come to light in recent years. Anonymous sources featured in the film claim to have witnessed troubling incidents, including the suggestion of underage involvement in what is referred to as “red rooms,” where the lighting cues were allegedly used to signal sexual activities.

“P. Diddy: The Making of The Bad Boy” is slated on January 14, while Combs is facing significant legal challenges, including charges of sex trafficking and racketeering, with his trial set for May 2025.

Watch the explosive trailer below.
