Pete Davidson Confirms Engagement to Ariana Grande: I Feel Like I Won a Contest!

The the delight of millions of fans, Ariana Grande is now engaged to Pete Davidson. It happened fast, but sometimes, love is like that.

Though we"ve already seen Ariana"s engagement ring, Pete has now washed away any lingering doubts by saying it out loud.

Folks, Pete cannot contain his enthusiasm. Can you blame him. He feels like he won the lottery.

On The Tongight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Pete Davidson and Robert Pattinson were the guests.

Ariana is a beloved guest on Fallon"s show, and as you can imagine, he definitely brought up her name when speaking to Pete.

Jimmy Fallon says: "Now, you know that you didn’t have to get engaged to Ariana Grande to come on our show."

Pete"s boyish excitement cannot be contained.

"But I did, though!" Pete says.

The audience replies with cheers and applause.

After Fallon offers his congratulations, Pete offers a very apt description of the situation.

"I feel like I won a contest.," Pete says. "So sick."

Ariana isn"t just an extremely talented singer, an actress, an activist, a gay icon, and a beloved social media personality.

She"s also just incredibly hot, and Pete seems truly head-over-heels.

Fallon asks: "How are you handling it all right now?"

Pete replies: "It’s f–king lit, Jimmy."

We would imagine so.

"It"s so funny," Pete shares. "Walking down the street."

Keep in mind that Pete has been famous for years because he is a cast member of Saturday Night Live.

In fact, debates over whether he or Colin Jost is the most attractive cast member at the moment are not uncommon on social media or among friends.

But now, when he is recognized, the reactions that he elicits are a little different.

"It"s so funny," Pete says. "Because dudes are walking by, and they"re like:" Pete mimes tipping a hat in a casual salute or a gesture of respect.

That"s cute.

"Some dude came up to me," Pete continues. "And said: "yo, man, you gave me hope.""

The implication being that Pete has managed to get engaged to a girl out of his league — to one of the most attractive women on the planet — without being more famous than she is or richer than her.

Pete admits that he started to feel a little unsulted, saying: "And I didn"t know I was that ugly! Jesus."

Pete is, of course, very much not ugly.

But he is still counting his blessings.

"Yeah," Pete admits. "I"m a lucky motherf–ker."

That"s true! But so is Ariana. Anyone who finds any sort of love in this globe of nightmares we all inhabit is very fortunate!

(Also, Pete sells himself short — literally. The guy is 6-foot-3, which makes him a whopping 15 inches taller than Ariana. We are very much rooting for them even though they will have to get creative to take decent photos)

Pete"s excitement over his engagement to Ariana is not limited to late night talk shows.

On Thursday, he shared the image of Ariana Grande arching her back in the grass while wearing a less-than-huge amount of clothing.

(Fans will of course recognize this as part of a dance that she has practiced and performed on social media before)

"What the actual f–k," Pete writes, showing his desbelief in how beautiful his fiancee is.

He follows up that photo with a heart eyes emoji.

Pete has also, of course, already gotten two tattoos in Ariana"s honor. One of her bunny eared mask, and another of her initials.

Go big or go home.

Arianators have celebrated this welcome news. Naturally, her fans are happy when she is happy.

Many are relieved to see that she is no longer in a toxic relationship with someone whose personal substance abuse issues make him a danger to himself and others.

(Though Pete was never a danger, per se, he has experienced and overcome a mild substance abuse issue and has been outspoken about his mental health)

Some critics have accused Pete of "robbing the cradle," which is absurd. Age and height aren"t synonyms, or Ariana would be feeling nervous about the sixth grade.

They"re both about the same age, but Ariana, who turns 25 next week, is a few months older than Pete.

Pete will not turn 25 until September.

Cornell Fraternity Accused of "Pig Roast" Sex Contest

A fraternity at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York has been placed on probation after it was discovered that it made pledges go through with something totally heinous and disgusting.

According to the Daily Sun, the school’s student newspaper, prospective member of Zeta Beta Tau were forced to take part in a fat-shaming game called “Pig Roast.”

Prepare to very possibly get ill as you read about the rules and basic description below:

– Pledges earned points from fraternity brothers for having sex with overweight women.

– The women were never told that they were part of any kind of competition.

– If there was a tie at the end, the victory was awarded to the person who had slept with the heaviest partner.

Details of this wildly inappropriate and truly despicable first leaked last year, prompting an investigation by the university’s Fraternity and Sorority Board.

The investigation concluded last month.

And, clearly, enough evidence existed that proved to the board that such a Pig Roast competition really was happening at the fraternity.

As a result, the chapter has been placed on a two-year probation, and the Ivy League university and the frat’s national office denounced the game, which was the latest example of a Greek organization behaving badly.

Moreover, the fraternity will be required to partake in at least two events during the school’s Sexual Assault Awareness Week.

It also must hire a live-in adviser for the remainder of the probation period and subject itself to external reviews.

In a statement released Saturday, the Cornell chapter of the fraternity said it was in “disbelief” over the allegations of misconduct.

That said, it didn’t deny the allegations.

“The allegations described are contrary to the values that Zeta Beta Tau Fraternity espouses and works in direct conflict with the beliefs and mission of the Kappa Chapter,” the statement said.

We guess those in charge are trying to claim they weren’t aware this gross game was being played?

Concluded the statement:

“Our chapter has worked closely with the Zeta Beta Tau International Headquarters to draft and execute an action plan that addresses this alleged behavior.”

Meanwhile, Ryan Lombardi, Cornell’s vice president for student and campus life, referred to the game “abhorrent,” per the Daily Sun.

“Behavior that degrades and dehumanizes women contributes to a climate and culture of tolerance for sexual violence,” he said.

We agree.

We strongly agree.
