“Longhorns take care of each other, and it's 'safe' to say Matthew McConaughey agrees,” the university’s official student government Facebook page captioned a pic of the actor driving around a group of students. “Don't forget to use Sure Walk when traveling home late at night; you never know who might pick you up! #BeSafe#SafeChats.”

In the shot, McConaughey is behind the wheel in an orange zip-up sweatshirt and is rocking some thick facial hair.

The Oscar winner, 47, graduated from the university in 1993, but still returns to Texas regularly. Earlier this month, he told Et’s Nischelle Turner about his birthday celebrations down south with his wife, Camilla Alves, and three kids.

Happy Birthday Kendall Jenner!

The supermodel turned 21 on Thursday — and celebrated her milestone birthday in Los Angeles on Wednesday night, at an intimate dinner surrounded by family and friends before heading out to star-studded, 1920s-themed late night bash.

The festivities even brought out sister Kim Kardashian West and brother-in-law Kanye West — who made a low-key appearance at the event nearly a month after Kim’s frightful robbery in Paris.

The birthday girl looked radiant as she arrived at Catch seafood restaurant for dinner, wearing a low-cut, lace-up, semi-sheer jumpsuit with a black bodysuit and green fur stole.

Jenner changed her outfit later in the evening,...

Tyrese has taken his name out of the running for “Fast 8” performers that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently slammed as “chicken s–t … candy asses.” “I think Dewayne aka DJ happens to be one of the most humble, down to earth and professional people I’ve ever worked with and more importantly he’s my brother we have Never had a problem and will never have a problem,” the singer-actor wrote Tuesday on Instagram. “We are good over here.” That message, which has since been taken down but archived by others, was accompanied by a video of Rocky singing “Happy Birthday” to.

Scott Disick didn't need gifts or items or anything to complete his birthday. He just needed family … and he got it. The reality star headed to Las Vegas on Friday night to celebrate his 33rd birthday party and he had ex Kourtney Kardashian and Khloé Kardashian by his side, along with Tyga and Malika Haqq. The group began the birthday celebration in Los Angeles on Thursday, dining at Nobu, but headed to Las Vegas on Friday to hang out at Disick's go-to Sin City club, 1 Oak. "I got some cool stuff, but I feel the love and support is most important,...

Kygo could have gone the easy route. After being crowned the unofficial poster child of tropical house for his pan flute synth-heavy remixes back in 2014, he would have been well within his rights to resign himself to exclusively releasing music that fell within the confines of the genre.

Sometime around the end of last summer, however, the Norwegian DJ/producer began to demonstrate that he wasn’t content to be summed up so simply as an artist. When he uploaded the entirely instrumental “Piano Jam” series to SoundCloud, not only did he reveal his capabilities as a multi-instrumentalist to the world – in a way, he foreshadowed what was to come on his debut album.

Now, Cloud Nine has arrived, and it exceeds all expectations.

Taking creative risks can definitely backfire. Were Kygo not the caliber of musician he’s proven himself to be, the manifold styles incorporated into each track...

The speculation can finally come to an end! After plenty of rumors and questions, it appears fans can say Jhené Aiko is a married woman. While celebrating her 28th birthday on Wednesday, her main man Dot da Genius took to Instagram with a very special photo and message. "Happy Birthday to my gorgeous wife," the music producer and DJ shared on Instagram. "Happy to be on this quest w/ you!!!" In the photo, Jhené is seen standing on an altar while wearing a long white dress with a bouquet of flowers in her hand. Meanwhile, her man appears to be placing a major piece of bling on his wife's left hand. Rumors that the pair was possibly married started all the way back...

In celebration of his Wednesday birthday, Questlove has gifted the world with a fuller version of an incredible story. Recall: Late last year, when the Finding Dory trailer dropped, Quest tweeted out a hostile hashtag, coupled with the claim that Nemo once replaced him as the entertainment at one of Prince's parties. Now if you thought the idea of that evening sounded surreal, wait till you hear more of the details, which include a hot-pink stretch Hummer, a blind date, the Purple One doing his best Vin Diesel impression in a golf cart, and lots of Fela Kuti. Oh yeah, and seriously, a sketchy copy of Finding Nemo on DVD. Fill in the gaps by rolling the above clip, which features animation by Hectah and narration by the DJ himself. (P.S. Happy Birthday, Quest!)...

The long weekend proved to be surprising for Chrissy Teigen, as she was majorly treated by John Legend ahead of her fast-approaching birthday. (Happy Birthday!) The singer-songwriter threw a party for his wife Saturday at New York's Comedy Cellar, secretly inviting family and friends to join in on what sounds like the cutest of times. As part of the festivities, Teigen and attendees enjoyed Momofuku, a comedy set courtesy of Dave Chappelle (who reportedly had a joke about putting a Trader Joes in downtown Syria), and music from DJ Nice:"I can't imagine a single thing more I wanted out of my twenties," Teigen, who turns 30 on Monday, tweeted afterward. "Greatest friends and family ever, ever, ever." Of course, the cherry on top was probably being serenaded by Legend — which is something that should happen to everybody when they turn 30: Because this couple just can't stop. For more...

Kylie Jenner took to Instagram on Friday to post a super-glam picture of herself – just hours before news broke that she and Tyga have broken up.

The picture appears to be a few days old as Jenner, 18, is wearing the black mesh dress she rocked in Australia this week while promoting her new clothing line with sister Kendall Jenner.

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star didn't caption the photo, save for inserting an emoji of a pair of wide-open eyes and tagging her makeup artist and hair stylist.
