Ah, Twitter. It's the ultimate social media platform when it comes to making connections, and sometimes, testing your luck. Case in point, NHL star Anthony Beauvillier's pickup line to actress Anna Kendrick.

Taking to the microblogging website, he decided to initiate a conversation with the actress, not by sliding into her DMs (respect), but by simply writing "Hi @AnnaKendrick47," prompting the entirety of Twitter to act as his wingman.

Now, in case your memory needs prompting, 2019 has been a fantastic year for Beauvillier, 22, who scored an impressive 10 goals for the New York Islanders this season.

At the time of writing, Beauvillier's original tweet to Kendrick has received over 31K likes and counting, with countless Twitter wingmen jumping to his aid in the replies.

"Remember Beau when you saved me from a burning building, cooked me a 7 course meal and taught me 8 languages," former Islander defenceman Bruno Gervais replied. "That was a great day."

However, Gervais was far from the only person to have Beauvillier's back. Total strangers got in on the action too.

One wrote: "Hey Anthony thanks again for paying a whole [year's] worth of my rent. I don't know how I can repay you. Much love."

A second remarked: "All I know is when I needed a brain transplant, Anthony was there. And not just by himself, oh no. But with the children from the orphanage he adopted and all the kittens he saved from the pet store."

And if that wasn't impressive enough, a third added: "Hey Beau, The folks at @NASA called, looks like they're gonna need you to save the world from another planet-ending asteroid again. Yeah I know, it's getting old saving the world, but face it you're our only hope! Thanks, the entire world owes you for your sacrifice!"

Thirty-four-year-old Kendrick rose to fame for her roles in Pitch Perfect and Up in the Air, and she is currently starring in the new Disney+ original Noelle.

Almost two days later, she replied to fans on Twitter, thanking them for their tales of Beauvillier's "heroism".

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AnnaKendrick47/status/1210616282179080192]]

Kendrick wrote: "These replies have been my entertainment for the last two days. Thank you all for regaling me with the true tales of this man’s heroism."

Now, if there's any justice in the world, Kendrick will do the right thing and slide into Beauvillier's DMs. We are rooting for you guys!

When people think about all the perfect celebrity couplings out there, a few names always come to mind; there's Chrissy Teigen and John Legend, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis, and of course, Emily Blunt and John Krasinski. However, in this magical world of #CoupleGoals, it appears that we've been overlooking one special pairing, and that's Anna Kournikova and Enrique Iglesias. For some reason, their relationship has been put on the back-burner by the press in recent years, and whether that's to do with the fact that they've been together for an eye-watering 17 years, or something else, the news that the notoriously private couple had welcomed twins last month took the entertainment industry by surprise. However, one celebrity unwittingly found herself caught up in the media frenzy. And while Anna Kendrick shares a first name with Kournikova, she is not a Russian tennis player, and nor has she been dating Latin pop sensation, Enrique Iglesias, for the better half of two decades. Yes, the Pitch Perfect actress got confused for Anna Kournikova by Yahoo!, and her response was just perfect.  [[instagramwidget||https://www.instagram.com/p/BcjKDaDF8Ti/?hl=en&taken-by=annakendrick47]] Anna Kendrick was forced to correct Yahoo! after they reported that Anna Kournikova had just welcomed twins, Nicholas and Lucy, into the world... with a photograph of the wrong Anna K. Instead of using an image of the blonde haired, retired professional tennis player, Yahoo! used a snap of Kendrick, who hardly even resembles the mother-of-two. Her response, however, was pitch perfect. "Dear Yahoo" the actress wrote, "how do I get to this timeline where I've slept with Enrique Iqlesias please and thank you." [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AnnaKendrick47/status/953463739746889728]] Proving that she was more than willing to poke fun at herself, Kendrick then added: "I realize the confusion probably came from the two Anna K names, but she's a tall blonde athlete and I'm - oh, oh - do they think I'm the baby?" [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/AnnaKendrick47/status/953467076886310913]] And naturally, the people of the internet had a field day with the confusion and Anna Kendrick's hilarious response. One Twitter user jokingly wrote, "did you absorb the other twin in the womb?", while another added, "maybe they got confused because they saw how much vodka you can drink and assumed you were Russian", to which Kenrick replied, "SHUT UP LIZ NOBODY ASKED YOU OMG".

Following his break-up with pop queen and ex-fiancé Ariana Grande, comedian Pete Davidson suffered an alarming public bout with depression. But don't worry about his love life anymore. The 25-year-old Saturday Night Live star has been spotted making out with 45-year-old English actress Kate Beckinsale. (Turns out that BDE might be a real thing.)

The pair were were first spotted getting cozy together at the Golden Globes. Afterwards, several people disapproved of the relationship on social media, but Kate was having none of it. When one troll commented, "Disappointed in your dating choices," the Underworld star fired back, "Pretty let down by your wonky beard but thought possibly rude to say."

[[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/MsTaylorBanks/status/1102434955957682176]]

Most recently, a photo of Kate and Pete's steamy PDA went viral, appearing to confirm the dating rumors. In the picture, the two sloppily make out at a hockey game while seated next to Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski, who is visibly uncomfortable. The hilarious image inspired several memes - here are the highlights!

Where in public will Kate and Pete make out next? A football game? The C Train? During the goodnights at the end of an episode of SNL? The world waits with bated breath.

One wonders how celebrity couples end up hooking up. They must be around an inordinate number of famous people each and every day, to the point where fame just becomes boring. How does one famous singer, for example, stand out from the rest? If you're always around Lil Wayne, Kanye West, Ed Sheeran and Drake, who do you actually feel like dating? John Mayer has been asking these questions for awhile. The legendary singer, raised in Fairfield Connecticut, has long held a romantic affiliation for Nicki Minaj, currently the most famous female rapper in the world by a wide margin. But here was the problem for Mayer - how does one go public with these feelings? They're both superstars, but how do you break through the mold and make it clear that you have a crush? On September 8th, a lazy afternoon around 4 PM, Mayer took his longing thoughts for Minaj and transformed them into a Twitter post. After all, why not just put it out there? [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/JohnMayer/status/906292850433810432]] At least he got it out there, right? Well, imagine his shock and awe when Nicki Minaj actually responded. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/906299077217964032]] Oh damn. Mayer was just as floored as everyone else: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/JohnMayer/status/906299502826405888]] Twitter was quick to build up the pressure: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/milasquestions/status/906299732556963840]] [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/Jdlmc/status/906372457094840320]] We don't know yet if the two actually hooked up, or contacted each other on some illuminati back channels. But woke Twitter rapidly rode to the situation on pegasi of righteousness: [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/angelicaross/status/906303940651737088]] Oh my, could Mr. Mayer be, gasp, problematic?!?!?! A 2010 Playboy interview was unearthed, wherein Mayer made some comments about his sexual attraction to black women: “My dick is sort of like a white supremacist. I’ve got a Benetton heart and a fuckin’ David Duke cock. I’m going to start dating separately from my dick. "I always thought Holly Robinson Peete was gorgeous. Every white dude loved Hilary from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. And Kerry Washington. She’s super hot and she’s also white-girl crazy. Kerry Washington would break your heart like a white girl. Just all of a sudden she’d be like, ‘Yeah, I sucked his dick. Whatever.'” Of course, calling his dick a white supremacist is what has everyone tangled up in knots. It was, however, a joke, of course, and it was made well before the 'SJW' movement had geared up full-steam for its online patrols of insufficient wokeness. [[twitterwidget||https://twitter.com/meghamohan/status/906476665936760832]] Is it racist to not be attracted to members of a certain race? Well, it depends. If homosexuality is biological, and not up to individual gay people to control, then couldn't dating preferences also be somewhat biological? After all, peoples' mating habits can be dictated by things as simple as a person smelling somewhat similar to their siblings, which casts them as 'unattractive'. People could have similar preferences for skin color, which would just be aesthetic sexual preference, and not necessarily rooted in racism. On the contrary, one could see black features as undermined by a white society, and Mayer as complicit in undervaluing black beauty. Either way, it seems that he's open to dating black women now. Let's hope that their first date went well. Maybe Minaj's ex, Meek Mill, will diss 'em both on his next record.

A woman has recently gone viral after opening up about her friend being ghosted by her partner after spending eight years with them.

Taking to TikTok, user Emma Noyes, better known by her username @emmanoyesmaybe, posted a video recalling a dire situation her friend was in which involved being ghosted after a long-term committed relationship with a so-called "professional hockey player."

In the video, which has now been viewed a whopping 32 million times, Emma used the classic 'Put A Finger Down Challenge' to talk about what had happened.

Describing the man as the love of her friend's life, she said: "Put a finger down if you've ever been with a man for eight years and this man is the love of your life and he's also a professional hockey player..."

She continued: "And so one day he gets a professional contract to go and play hockey in Russia and it's for an insane amount of money so we can't turn it down because you're supportive so you say 'Babe go! Go to Russia. Play in Russia.'"

Emma then goes on to state that the man in question eventually does go to Russia and things are going super well for both his career and his relationship.

"...You guys are talking every day. You're talking about rings and weddings [because]... you've been together for eight years and he says 'I can't wait to see you at the end of February' when he comes home and finally the end of February rolls around and all of a sudden... He disappears."

That's right, he just vanished.

Emma then went on to recall that her friend started texting his family members including his parents who all seemed confused by the claims, saying that he was still responding to them as usual and that he had just gone on vacation.

So naturally the friend reaches out to him and asks: "What the f*** is going on?"

And he allegedly responded back with: "I'm sorry I'm not home yet, I will be home soon. This is not a good response or a drunk response. I will text you a good response tomorrow."

And that's apparently the last thing the friend ever heard from her boyfriend of eight years.

In the wake of the break-up - well, if it can even be considered an actual break-up - the friend tried reaching out to the athlete a few more times asking to talk, but it seems as though he was in no mood to respond.

He eventually went back to Russia, and that's when he hard-launched a whole new girlfriend on his social media account which the girls discovered he had been with for "quite some time."

And just to make things worse, the next photo that this man uploads is one of the woman with a ring on her hand.

Big, fat yikes.

Of course, social media users couldn't believe what they were hearing, with thousands taking to the comments to leave their opinions.

"LITERALLY GHOSTING AFTER AN 8 YEAR RELATIONSHIP IS THE MOST INSANE THING IVE EVER HEARD," wrote one user, while another added: "Eight years is the red flag."

A third asked for his personal information saying: "What’s his name? I just wanna talk to him."

This user also shared a similar thought: "Drop his name babe. You don’t treat other humans like this, it’s absolutely cruel behavior."

In a follow-up video, Emma revealed that she did not expect the video to blow up as it did but that she was thankful for the support given to both her and her friend during this incredibly difficult period.

She also expressed her intentions behind the original video stating that she was hoping the man in question would stumble across the video and be open to giving her friend some closure.

Let's hope it works!

It looks like Travis Kelce might be switching out his football for a basketball in the near future as the NFL star had the perfect response to a comment Mark Cuban made about Taylor Swift - and let's just say, we're loving his confidence.

The 65-year-old appeared on a recent episode of ESPN’s show, First Take, where he made a joke about the 33-year-old Grammy-award-winning singer and how she should be dating a player from the basketball team, the Dallas Mavericks.

"Taylor, sorry if you’re listening Travis, break up with him," Cuban said on the episode on Thursday. "I got a bunch of good-looking single guys that play for the Dallas Mavericks. I gotchu."

Kelce saw the comment and immediately took to social media to respond.

"@mcuban Just sign me to a ten day [contract]!” Kelce stated in a tweet on X, formerly known as Twitter.

In the NBA, a ten-day contract is considered a temporary deal designed to help a team for a short period of time so it seems as though there will be one more extra player on the Mavericks' team this season.

Fans couldn't help but applaud the star for his witty response.

"We love you mr chaos," wrote one user, while another added: Welcome to the Mavs Travis!"

A third even branded the tweet as a "Legendary response."

And just to deepen the rumor, the official account for the Mavericks also responded to Kelce writing: "We do need a center," with an eyes-emoji next to it.

So will we be seeing the tight-end take to the basketball court? We'll just have to wait to see how this one plays out.

The news comes just shortly after the 33-year-old NFL star gave us the tea surrounding his brewing romance with Swift.

"I just thought it was awesome that everybody in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her," he recalled on (September 27), on an episode of his 'New Heights' podcast alongside his brother Jason Kelce of the Philadelphia Eagles. "The friends and family. She looked amazing... and on top of that, the day went perfect for Chiefs fans. We script it all, ladies and gentlemen.

"It was absolutely electric," he added.

Following their release of the episode on Wednesday, Jason, opened up about further details about his brother’s new relationship.

"I wish I could tell you," he told the hosts during an appearance on SportsRadio 94 WIP. "I have gotten no inclination from Travis... I would say with this one, it definitely seems like he is going above and beyond to be a gentleman.

"I think that he can probably handle both of those gears when necessary," he concluded.

Let's hope he can because it seems as though he's in for one hell of a ride.
