THE BUZZ 7/5/16

Fourth of July weekend officially kicked off Sunday afternoon when Taylor Swift hosted another star studded Independence Day Bash at her Rhode Island beach house. Joined by her boyfriend Tom Hiddleston and squad members including Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, and Karlie Kloss, the party ended up in the ocean. In photos obtained by E! News, Taylor and Tom were spotted hugging and getting very cozy while enjoying the waves. The actor even sported an “I heart T.S.” tank-top. Blake Lively was showing off her baby bump with hubby Ryan Reynolds, both looked like they were having the time of their lives. The couple is expecting their second child in January. Orange Is the New Black actresses Uzo Aduba and Ruby Rose were so in attendance–the latter seen getting cozy with rumored girlfriend Harley Gusman. While this was a bash for the ages you shouldn’t let yourself get jealous; T-Swift has been known to throw some epic Fourth of July parties.

For Nick Jonas and Demi Lovato, Saturday night’s concert wasn’t like the rest. As the talented pair continue traveling across the country as part of their Honda Civic Tour, the performers decided to do something special for dozens of employees at Pulse Nightclub in Orlando. In a Facebook post shared over the weekend, fans learned that several workers were able to enjoy the duo’s show for free. In fact, they even got to take part in a meet and greet before the show. The post read, “Nick Jonas & Demi Lovato, thank you for making the pulse family smile ‪#‎onepulse ‪#‎orlandostrong ‪#‎pulseorlando. We will rise and not be defeated! ‪#‎onepulse ‪#‎pulseorlando.”

Andrea Barber is kicking off her 40’s by paying it forward. The beloved Fuller House star gathered her friends, family and co-stars together for a different kind of birthday party. Instead of a late-night celebration or a lavish party, Andrea decided to do some good on a Sunday morning. She shared on Instagram, “This is how you celebrate your 40th birthday! A 4.0 mile run on the beach with my closest buds. A huge thank you to everyone who ran, in person or virtually, for #Andreas40thBdayRun. We raised over $7,000 for @girlsontheruninternational! Today is a win for everyone!” The morning festivities held near the iconic Santa Monica Pier featured guests in matching blue T-shirts with tie-dye socks. And yes, everyone received a metal after completing the workout. And if you’re wondering where the rest of the Fuller House cast was to celebrate, no need to worry. The entire Tanner family was able to party on set with a giant birthday cake earlier in the week. Andrea joked, “The Tanners finally remembered my birthday (this Sunday) and surprised me with a cake on set today…and it wasn’t made of hashbrowns this time! #FullerHouse #BestFamilyEver.”
