The Weeknd Says He Might “Pull a YE” and Change Name Like Kanye West


 

The Weeknd, whose real name is Abel Tesfaye, teased on Twitter that he might "pull a YE" and legally drop his last name to only go by ABEL.

He wrote on April 3, "i feel like i should change my stage name to ABEL at this point lol."

He continued in another tweet, writing, "maybe pull a YE and just legally change my name to ABEL. no last name. Like Madonna or Cher or Price. I don't know it seems like a lot."

For context, "pulling a Ye" refers to Kanye West's name change. In October 2021, a judge approved Kanye West's request to alter his legal name from Kanye Omari West to simply Ye. 

The Weeknd teased fans even more by trying out the possible name reference, adding, "ABEL formally known as The Weeknd ?"

Producer Mike WiLL Made-It supported the "Blinding Lights" singer, writing in response to one of The Weeknd's tweets, "I f--k w it."

Mila Kunis Jokes About Adjusting to Her "Amazing" Big Boobs, Trains Baby Wyatt to Become a Chicago Bears Fan

It's been four months and five days since Mila Kunis gave birth to Wyatt Isabelle Kutcher. "But who's counting?" she asked on TBS' Conan Wednesday. The Jupiter Ascending actress, 31, said life got better after welcoming a daughter with Ashton Kutcher. "It's the greatest thing that's ever happened to me. I've said this and I stand by it," she said. "It is great." Conan O'Brien agreed with Mila's stance, though he was a bit distracted by her chest. "I saw a red carpet picture of you and it looked like Channing Tatum was staring at...because there are changes that the body goes through, and it looks like he's busted for staring at your breasts," the late-night host said. After a picture of Mila and her co-star appeared onscreen, she said, "Hold on! That's awful. Here's the thing...I swear! I know him and I love him. He really wasn't. But, boy, do these things grow! I don'

Netflix Pumps Brakes on Will Smith Action Film ‘Fast and Loose’

Image
  Netflix has slowed development on its upcoming action-thriller “Fast and Loose” which Will Smith has been attached to star in. The project has been moved to the streamer’s back burner in the days following the 2022 Oscars ceremony, during which Smith walked onstage and slapped Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke about the appearance of Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. In the week before the Oscars ceremony, director David Leitch reportedly also pulled away from the project, electing to move to the Ryan Gosling vehicle “Fall Guy” for Universal. After beginning to search for a new director, Netflix has now halted “Fast and Loose” in the days following the Oscars. It remains uncertain whether Netflix will return to developing “Fast and Loose” and, if so, whether the streamer would seek a new star for the project.  The story of “Fast and Loose” would follow a criminal who loses his memory after an attack. After mysteriously waking up in Tijuana, the character is forced to discover
