[TOMT][celebrity] name of a famous guy who claimed to date a famous beauty icon but she denied it.

Then he doubled down on twitter giving specifics of their "dates" and added pictures which only made it more clear they were never dating in any sense of the word and it just made him look even more pathetic? The tweets would have been within the last 10 years.

[TOMT] [Word] Word from 10 years ago that I still can't remember

I emailed the university lecturer who used the word in class 10 years ago. He didn't write back. I'll post the email in the comments as that is a good explanation of the word that I've been trying to think of for a decade. Just a note, it's an academic word, not one that you would hear in an everyday context, and not one that I've heard since. It's driving me crazy!

[TOMT][celebrity] Celebrity who received a package from a stalker that contain a gun, and a time and place to commit suicide so that they could be together in the afterlife. Celebrity later finds out that the stalker died, having gone through with it.

I was just reading about this the other day, so maybe it's current events-related or was recently discussed online. Scared I might be getting dementia if I already can't remember the details.

[TOMT][WORD] Help me find a word please

A while ago, I found a rare word that meant things like "good", "beautiful", "amazing", "stunning" ect.
But I forgot what the word was.
Please help me find the word.
If it helps, I believe it was 5 letters long and started with an 'E'
I will recognise it when I see the word but I had a massive brainfart and for the life of me, I cannot remember

[TOMT][SONG]Iconic riff and song

This song/Riff has been on my mind recently and has been driving me absolutely insane, it goes something like ; Duh Duh Duh Duh , Duh duh duh duh duh duhhhh DUH DUH DUH

I would say it was made around 1977-2000s

https://youtu.be/0J2QdDbelmY it sounds oddly similar to this , Another thing I know is that the voice from what i remember eerily reassembles that of axl rose.

[The riff is a bit heavy like AC/DC heavy ex; Back in black sounds similar]also I remembered a rough lyric; the eye of the something , the album cover also has a animal I wanna say a tiger or a lion
