Madonna and her 25-year-old BF aren't exactly rushing to the altar ... but all signs point to them taking things to the next level cause his dad tells us SHE dropped the L word!!!
So, here's the deal ... the rumors have been swirling for months about Madonna dating Ahlamalik Williams ... one of her backup dancers. Williams' father, Drue, tells TMZ ... his son and Madge are 100% definitely an item ... and it's gotten serious.
For starters ... Drue says us his son's been dating Madonna for a little over a year now. Drue says they first met back in 2015 when his son auditioned for Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour ... and Madonna personally picked Ahlamalik out of the group.

Fast-forward to September ... Madonna met her boy toy's parents in NYC after one of her shows. And, just last month ... Madonna hosted Ahlamalik's parents at one of her Ceasar's Palace shows. And, get this ... Drue says Madonna invited them to her suite ... where Madonna's personal chef cooked them all dinner.
Drue says the 61-year-old singer told them she loves their son unconditionally and wants to take care of him. Drue says, "Love has no age." He added, "My son is livin' la Vida Loca, and I'm just happy for him."
The Material Girl and her man's parents clearly got along ... 'cause Drue says Madonna's invited them to her shows in London and France in early 2020. Drue says they've already booked their flights. Bitch ... she's Madonna!!!
The former president also listed three television shows — Fleabag’s Season 2, Watchmen and Unbelievable — “that I considered as powerful as movies.”
Whereas in previous years where Obama would detail his annual favorites, this year the president is spreading his picks in literature, entertainment and music over the course of the final week of the decade. On Saturday, he shared his favorite books, with his music picks arriving in the coming days.
Next up are my favorite movies and TV shows of 2019. Of course, there’s also American Factory, a film from our own production company, Higher Ground, that was recently shortlisted for an Oscar. Here’s the full list: pic.twitter.com/PEcgwotcxm
Twin brothers who starred in TLC's "My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" are dead after an apparent joint suicide.
The 32-year-old siblings, Bill and Joe Smith, were found hanging in a tree in Sevenoaks, England ... this according to law enforcement.
"Celebrity Big Brother" winner Paddy Doherty confirmed the news on Facebook, calling it a "terrible, terrible tragedy," adding, "I'm very sorry for their troubles from the bottom of my heart. May God look after them, may God have mercy on them, they are two angels, harmless, they were unbelievable."
Bill and Joe starred in the 3rd season of the hit show. When they started they were 24 years old and working as gardeners.
"My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding" followed the lives of and traditions of Irish traveler families for 3 seasons from 2011 to 2015.
Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the deaths, but cops seem confident they were suicides.
Ron Perlman was the driver of the out-of-control truck plowing through an indie movie set, injuring crew members and nearly setting the entire area ablaze ... and TMZ has the video.
Multiple sources tell TMZ ... the "Hellboy" star is behind the wheel in the footage, which shows a truck barreling into the camera department and video village tent on the set of "The Last Victim" last month at the Okanagan Indian Band in British Columbia.
Our sources say Ron, who stars as the local sheriff in the neo-western, ran over several propane heaters in the tent, where the script supervisor, director and producer were hanging out, wedging the heaters under the truck. We're told the heaters were lit, and it sounds like a miracle the propane didn't ignite!!!
We first reported on the scary car crash earlier this month, which left one person with a minor foot injury, but at the time it wasn't clear who was driving ... and now we know it was Ron.
In the video, you hear people screaming after the truck crashes, with some folks shouting, "Ron, stop!!!" Our sources say the only thing stopping the vehicle from continuing its wild ride was all the camera and gear grip Ron ran over.
It's pretty crazy ... we're told the accident happened on the first take of the day, and Ron complained about being uncomfortable driving in his size 14 cowboy boots before the scene. Our sources say he was also wearing an ankle brace, but we're told the first assistant director ignored Ron's issues, scrapped a rehearsal and instructed cameras to roll.
Sounds like Ron's concerns over his cowboy boots were warranted ... we're told his foot got stuck on the accelerator because of the humongous footwear.
TMZ.com
And, get this ... we're told the crash happened on what was supposed to be the last day of filming, and producers tried to continue shooting after the accident but the crew was pissed.
In additional video and audio, obtained by TMZ, a crew member is heard quitting. We're told producers finally relented and canceled filming for the day, telling the crew they'd pick up the following day.
We reached out to Ron and movie producers ... no word back, so far
The government of the United Kingdom apologized Saturday after it published a list of 1,000 celebrities and notables that included some personal information, such as addresses.
The New Year Honours 2020 list, which recognizes societal achievements and contributions by bestowing more than 1,000 honorees with terms of achievement, including knighthood for some.
The 2020 list of recipients, unveiled Thursday, included Sir Elton John (Companion of Honour), Olivia Newton-John (damehood) and director Sam Mendes (knighthood).
"The information was removed as soon as possible," the Cabinet Office said in a statement. "We apologise to all those affected and are looking into how this happened."
The office said that those whose addresses were revealed were being contacted.
The U.K. privacy group Big Brother published on Twitter remarks of its director, Silkie Carlo. She said the exposure was "inexcusable" and that government "doesn't have a basic grip on data protection."

Despite his tumultuous relationship with Khloé Kardashian and the entire KarJenner family — Tristan Thompson eagerly attended the KarJenner annual Christmas party held at Kourtney Kardashian’s house on Christmas Eve. With the entire KarJenner clan and their famous friends, the party was certainly a star-studded affair.
Thompson was there as a co-parent for his daughter, True. However, he’s also been adamant about getting back into the Revenge Body star’s good graces since he cheated on her with Jordyn Woods in February 2019.
Though she seems unwilling to let him back into her life romantically, she has spoken openly about forgiving Thompson for his past and building a friendship with him for the sake of their daughter. However, not everyone in the KarJenner family is in such a forgiving mood.
Khloé Kardashian and Tristan Thompson had a great time at the KarJenner annual Christmas Party
After playing a game in Cleveland on Dec. 23 against the Atlanta Hawks — Thompson rushed to Los Angeles to be a part of the Kardashian festivities. Though he and the KUWTK starlet took no pictures together, it’s clear that they attended and were even chatty.
“Tristan is very charming and sweet to Khloé,” an insider told People. “She always wanted to keep her family together because of True. Splitting from Tristan in the past was extremely difficult for her. She is flattered that he is trying to win her back, but not flattered enough to be in a romantic relationship with him. Who knows what will happen in the future though. Right now she is focused on just getting along with him so they can have the best family time together with True.”
The KarJenners tolerate Tristan Thompson
This past summer, KarJenner fans were shocked when Kim Kardashian was seen in NYC dining with Thompson and a group of friends. However, the Skims founder was simply putting her best foot forward for the sake of her sister’s feelings. “They don’t hate him,” a source told RadarOnline about the KarJenner’s feelings towards Thompson. “He’s nice. They hate the way he treated her.”
For her part, the Good American founder only wants a healthy environment for her daughter. “I don’t want to be with him, I don’t. I appreciate how nice he’s being to me and he should be nice to me,” she explained on a recent episode of KUWTK. “I want us to have a healthy, kind and loving relationship where True can see her mom and dad hug each other when they see each other. I know that he’s trying. We are slowly moving into the direction of being friends as well as amazing co-parents.”
Kim Kardashian shaded Tristan Thompson at the Christmas Party
While Khloé Kardashian has decided to move forward with forgiveness — her big sister, Kim Kardashian, hasn’t quite softened towards Thompson. During the holiday soiree, the KKW Beauty mogul gave a speech welcoming her guest to the annual Christmas Party.
During her speech, she gave shoutouts to her family including Kylie Jenner and Kourtney Kardashian’s exes Scott Disick and Travis Scott. However, she completely ignored Thompson though he was standing right in front of her. It’s going to be a long road for the NBA star to truly prove he’s sorry.
