Good news for Pete Davidson: Kanye West is no longer in possession of his tank. Yes, at some point in the last few years, the rapper had purchased a Ripsaw EV2, a self-described “luxury, high-performance, go-fast super tank” that retails for over half a million dollars. West posed with the tank in a 2020 photoshoot for GQ. It was also featured in his music video for “Closed on Sunday,” where he was seen driving in it with his former mother-in-law, Kris Jenner. TMZ reports that West recently sold the EV2 to David “Heavy D” Sparks and David “Diesel Dave” Kiley of the Discovery reality TV show Diesel Brothers. In an interview with TMZ, Heavy D revealed that after picking up the tank, they discovered that it contains a built-in DVD player that plays a K-pop video on a loop, and they have no id...
The kings of Staten Island are bringing a piece of their kingdom to the masses. Earlier this week, Saturday Night Live stars Pete Davidson and Colin Jost teamed up to buy an abandoned Staten Island Ferry, with the hope of turning it into a performance venue. According to a report by Vulture, the pair joined forces with comedy club owner Paul Italia to bid anonymously on the vessel in an online auction organized by the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services. While the bidding began at $125,000, the funny buddies ultimately topped all other offers by paying $280,100 for the ferry, which is named after President John F. Kennedy.

It looks like the Oscars may not let Tom Holland host this year’s ceremony. Instead, according to Page Six, the Academy is eyeing Pete Davidson to be the award show’s first host since 2018. Oscars officials have toyed with the idea of this year’s show having multiple hosts, and they’ve also thrown around big names like Dwayne Johnson and Chris Rock. Per Page Six, however, after years of declining ratings, the Oscars are looking for a “reset,” and think Kim Kardashian’s boyfriend would help bring in younger viewers. “He gets a demographic that is hard to get,” an unnamed source told the publication. “He is in a good space, his career is doing well and he is on the rise. He is a sex symbol, unlikely, but he is big with a certain generation.” To Davidson’s credit, he does have hosting ex...
