Considering how talented, gorgeous, and grounded she is, it’s not surprising that Minka Kelly pulls. “Minka and Trevor have broken up,” a source told Entertainment Tonight of the breakup.

Grammys Host Trevor Noah Takes Subtle Dig at Will Smith in ... (TMZ)

5:25 PM PT -- Questlove just mentioned the Oscars slap moment as well -- he was presenting for Song of the Year, and as he started into his remarks ... he ...

Seems like he struck a good balance between addressing it and sparing Will further humiliation. That, he said, would help keep the night chill ... and the audience laughed it up as a result. No name-dropping here, but it's obvious what Trevor was referring to ... that is, Will telling Chris Rock to keep Jada Pinkett's name out of his mouth during last weekend's Oscars ceremony -- this after smacking him across the face on stage, live on television. It's interesting that Trevor went there -- albeit, lightly and not nearly as brutal as he could've been -- because the dude was seen embracing Will at an afterparty last week ... following a long chat they shared. Then came the dig ... "We're gonna be keeping people's names out of our mouths."
