Ariana Grande has paid tribute to the late Mac Miller at Thanksgiving.

The ‘God is a Woman’ singer posted an old snap of her and her ex-boyfriend. Miller died on 7 September aged of 26 from a suspected overdose.

In the picture, the pair are snuggled up with a caption reading: “You’re v missed”. The photo was originally posted on Grande’s Facebook page with the caption: “a pie”.

Grande’s latest single, ‘Thank U, Next’, which earlier this month became the fastest ever song to surpass 100 million Spotify streams, hears the 25-year-old pay homage to her past relationships. Pete Davidson, her former fiancé whom she broke up with in October, is featured in the lyrics as well as Miller and other former boyfriends including Ricky Alvarez.

The singer is currently in the process of making a video to accompany the hit song. She’s been sharing images of her dressed as film characters, including Regina George from Mean Girls and Elle Woods from Legally Blonde, for what looks to be an appreciation for iconic ’00s movies.

Denzel Washington Opens Up About 15-Year Battle With Alcohol

Denzel Washington On 15-Year Battle with Alcohol | fab.ng

Hollywood icon Denzel Washington recently disclosed his past struggles with alcohol during an interview with Esquire.

The two-time Academy Award winner candidly shared a fifteen-year pattern of wine consumption. What began as a casual habit gradually escalated into a regular occurrence.

He began, “Wine is very tricky. It’s very slow. It ain’t like, boom, all of a sudden,” he elaborated, recalling how a wine cellar he constructed in 1999 within his home became a place for self-indulgence.

The actor added,

“And part of it was we built this big house in 1999 with a ten-thousand-bottle wine cellar, and I learned to drink the best. So I’m gonna drink my ’61s and my ’82s and whatever we had. Wine was my thing, and now I was popping $4,000 bottles just because that’s what was left. And then later in those years I’d call Gil Turner’s Fine Wines & Spirits on Sunset Boulevard and say, Send me two bottles, the best of this or that.”

Washington also delved into his past, acknowledging his youthful experimentation with drugs. However, he emphasized that he never developed an addiction to substances such as heroin or cocaine.

He continued,

“I’m sure at first it was easy because I was younger. Two months off and let’s go. But drinking was a fifteen-year pattern. And truth be told, it didn’t start in ’99. It started earlier.”

A decade ago, as Washington neared his 60th birthday, a turning point arrived. He made the resolute decision to abstain from alcohol completely.

“I’ve done a lot of damage to the body. We’ll see. I’ve been clean. Be ten years this December. I stopped at sixty and I haven’t had a thimble’s worth since. Things are opening up for me now—like being seventy. It’s real. And it’s okay. This is the last chapter—if I get another thirty, what do I want to do? My mother made it to ninety-seven,” said Washington.
