Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s relationship is straight out of a movie.

The pair connected during summer 2023 after Kelce, 34, infamously name-dropped Swift, also 34, on his “New Heights” podcast and lamented their missed connection at her Eras Tour concert in Kansas City.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Swift told TIME in December 2023. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for because we got to get to know each other.”

The world only found out about their relationship when Swift went to one of Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs games in September 2023. The couple’s romance has only grown stronger since then, and dozens of fans have been clamoring for a big-screen adaptation.

Hallmark and Lifetime plan to do just that — perfectly timed for the cozy holiday season. Hallmark, for its part, has a new partnership with the Chiefs itself and even filmed Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story at the Arrowhead Stadium.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

“I was watching [Taylor and Travis’ relationship] with the rest of the world. I knew all about it,” Holiday Touchdown’s Tyler Hynes exclusively told Us Weekly in July 2024. “Making this movie and being roped into the world feels like icing on top.”

Lifetime announces its Christmas in the Spotlight two months later.

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of how these rival Tayvis-inspired films compare:

The Plots

Holiday Touchdown: Alana Higman and her family are Chiefs superfans, hoping to win an official “Fan of the Year” contest. Derrick, the team’s director of fan engagement, spends time with the Higmans to evaluate how they measure up against other entrants.

A logline reads, “As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them, but when her grandfather’s vintage Chiefs good luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick — unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary.”

Christmas in the Spotlight: Pop star Bowyn meets professional football player Drew backstage at one of her concerts, which he attends with his niece. After Drew publicly declares his crush, they start dating.

A synopsis reads, “Feelings grow stronger, but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules? With people questioning if their feelings for each other are real or just for show, the pressure mounts from the press, paparazzi, their fans and even their family. The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames.”

Every Time Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Blushed Over Each Other in Public

The Casts

Holiday Touchdown: Hunter King (who previously told Us in July 2024 that she is a self-proclaimed Swiftie) and Tyler Hynes lead the Hallmark film as Alana and Derrick, respectively. Costars include Ed Begley Jr. and Christine Ebersole, while Today anchor Jenna Bush Hager and Donna Kelce make brief cameos.

Christmas in the Spotlight: Jessica Lord plays the pop star with Laith Wallschleger taking on the role of the NFL athlete. Jeannie Mai and TikTok personality Haley Kalil will also appear in the flick.

The Taylor and Travis Touches

Holiday Touchdown: The film takes place in Kansas City, where Kelce lives and Swift spends plenty of her downtime, and heavily features his Arrowhead Stadium workplace. Travis’ mother even plays a character named Donna in the flick. When a trailer dropped in September 2024, Alana and Derrick also made a heart out of two candy canes reminiscent of Swift’s iconic “hand heart” concert pose.

Christmas in the Spotlight: Pretty much the entire plot line is reminiscent of Swift and Kelce, from their careers, a public crush declaration, rampant attention and more. Not to mention Drew bringing his niece to Bowyn’s show reminds Us of “Uncle Travvy” and his bond with brother Jason Kelce’s three daughters.

The Release Dates

Holiday Touchdown: Saturday, November 30 at 8 p.m. ET.

Christmas in the Spotlight: No specific release date yet, but it will appear in the 2024 “It’s A Wonderful Lifetime” slate that typically lasts between November and December.

Justin Hartley has been having the time of his life working with wife Sofia Pernas on season 2 of Tracker.

“Oh, she’s the best and such a talent,” Hartley, 47, told TV Insider on Wednesday, September 4, about reuniting with Pernas, 35, for an episode of the hit CBS procedural. “She comes in and she just delivers and brings so much more to it than is on the pages.”

Hartley couldn’t be more thankful to share the screen with Pernas, adding, “It’s just been a blessing having her and then also I get to spend time with her! It’s my favorite days in the world when I get to work with her.”

Before Tracker is set to return to CBS Sunday, October 13, Hartley teased what fans could expect from her character’s season 2 arc.

Every Time Justin Hartley and Wife Sofia Pernas Shared the Screen

“She calls on [my character] Colter because she needs his help for something,” he shared. “And of course, he’s like, ‘You need my help, huh?’ It’s that kind of thing, like, ‘Well, OK, then ask for it. I’ll help you. You got to ask me.’ That kind of thing.”

Hartley originally worked with Pernas on The Young and The Restless in 2015. Years later, they reconnected off screen and exchanged vows in 2021.

“We have a great time together. I just thought it would be a really cool idea. It was sort of my idea from the beginning to have this character,” Hartley, who is an executive producer on Tracker, told Deadline in May after Pernas’ season 1 episodes aired. “My idea was to tease that and intentionally name the character Billie, and then reveal that Billie is, of course, Sofia. We didn’t get to tease that as much as I would have liked, just because we were so pressed with time. But that was the intention.”

Justin Hartley's Tracker Season 2: Sofia Pernas' Return and More to Know

He continued: “Then when she came on, to be honest with you, I’m not sure how much of that character aspect that she brought was actually written.”

Two months later, Hartley gushed to Us Weekly about how having Pernas on set helped him as an actor, saying, “She’s wonderful. I mean, if I had my choice, I’d spend every minute with her. What’s really cool is when you meet someone that means so much to you, that you’re so proud to be with and so proud of, and just such a fan of, and to get to see her work, because she’s such a talented actor. She elevates scenes, and so it makes my job easier, actually. But yeah, it’s just wonderful to work with her.”

Tracker returns to CBS on Sunday, October 13 at 8 p.m. ET. New episodes stream the next day on Paramount+.

Fire Country is not wasting any time when it comes to raising the stakes in season 3 — and Us Weekly has the exclusive details to prove it.

Us can exclusively reveal the synopsis for the season 3 premiere, which airs on CBS Friday, October 18. “In the midst of Gabriela and Diego’s wedding, a helicopter crash ignites chaos and the team immediately gets to work putting out spot fires and helping victims,” read the logline for the first episode of the season, which introduces the next chapter of the show centered around themes of legacy.

Max Thieriot’s Bode is now a free man fighting for his own future — and he’s the central figure in Us’ exclusive glimpse at the show’s key art images for season 3. Bode, who is fresh out of prison to start the season, is wearing the traditional Cal Fire yellow uniform in the first picture.

What to Know About 'Fire Country' Season 3: Bode, Gabriela's Future and More

Bode looks longingly over his left shoulder in one poster, while a raging orange fire burns behind him. You can see the Cal Fire patch on his arm just below his radio on his left side.

Need more proof that Bode has been welcomed into his father Vince Leone’s firehouse? Just look at the second piece of key art, which reveals Bode running alongside Vince (Billy Burke), his mom, Sharone Leone (Diane Farr), and longtime BFF Jake Crawford (Jordan Calloway), all of whom are part of Cal Fire.

In the photo, Bode is once again wearing a Cal Fire protective jacket and matching yellow gloves. This time he also has a protective hat and goggles. The hat reads, “Leone,” in sharpie, revealing that he now goes by his given last name. (When the show began, Bode used the surname Donovan instead of Leone because of his tense relationship with his parents.)

Clearly a lot has changed since we last saw Bode and his firefighter family. During the season 2 finale, which aired in May, Bode was released from prison after serving the end of sentence at Three Rock Convict Camp.

“We felt like, by the end of season 2, we just had been craving it and craving it and craving it for so long,” showrunner Tia Napolitano exclusively told Us at the time. “And our show is all about redemption and we get Bode to this place where he’s really earning it and changing and really growing. We wanted that wish fulfillment and that satisfaction of, Finally, this man gets to no longer be incarcerated.’”

Shortly after his release, Bode attended his ex-girlfriend Gabriela’s (Stephanie Arcila) wedding — but the episode ended before viewers could see if she went through with the ceremony. (Bode and Gabriela shared a kiss before the nuptials, leading many viewers to think the wedding might be called off.)

“I think if anyone is about to get married and is kissing somebody else, they’re not fully there,” Arcila exclusively told Us in May. “That’s the No. 1 sign.”

Thieriot teased that Gabriela is part of Bode’s “addiction,” noting that although he’s a little more level headed at the end of season 2, “Seeing her getting married really kills him.”

'Fire Country' Season 3 Newcomers: Which Actors Have Joined, Who They Play

Bode also revealed at the end of last season that he wanted to be part of Cal Fire, which wasn’t a given because of his record. “Bode’s journey from free citizen to firefighter is going to be a long one. We’ve covered on the show how hard it is. There’s so many hoops and red tape to get through to get your record expunged as an inmate,” Napolitano shared with Us. “I think seeing him fight for that is fighting for himself. They become one and the same.”

Bode’s story, however, isn’t the only one to keep an eye on when season 3 begins in October. Newcomer Camden, played by Jared Padalecki, is sure to turn heads when he joins the show.

The SoCal firefighter is described as someone who has a “surfer swagger” and is a “force to reckoned with,” according to Deadline, which reported the casting in August. The outlet teased that Camden “immediately recognizes” Bode’s “raw talent” when he comes to town.

Fire Country returns for season 3 on CBS Friday, October 18, at 9 p.m. ET.

Lady Gaga released her last studio solo album in 2020, but fans won’t have to wait too much longer for the next one.

The 13-time Grammy winner, 38, teased the upcoming project, which she calls LG7, in a profile with Vogue, published Friday, September 6. In it, she reveals that the album will come out in February, but its first single will drop in October.

“There’s a lot of pain associated with this adventure,” Gaga told the outlet. “And when I start to explore that pain it can bring out another side to my artistry. When I’m here at this studio, I’m relaxed and I am able to face my demons and what’s remarkable is … that’s the music. I’m able to hear it back.”

She added that the album will give even the most ardent Gaga fans a more intimate look at who she is.

Celebrities Who Have Had College Courses Taught About Them

“I’m really excited for you — and my fans — to get to know me more for the texture of my heart,” she added.

Gaga also teased a “surprise project” she has been working on but is keeping the details under wraps.

Gaga has reached superstardom, but she hasn’t focused solely on her own music. She’s kept a close eye on those around her in the industry, rattling off artists like Charli XCX, Chappell Roan and Billie Eilish as those she’s been listening to.

“I mean, I really love them. I go on the internet and, like, cry. And I love Taylor Swift, too. And Kesha. I watch it all, and I’m like: ‘Yup. Go! Just Go,’” she said. “I’m not only cheering them on, I want them to know that my heart is in it with them. And I want them all to feel really happy.”

Lady Gaga and Michael Polansky's Relationship Timeline

She also touched on how her life has changed since she became engaged to CEO Michael Polansky (the profile is sure to mention a “Wilma Flintstone–size” diamond on Gaga’s hand).

“The missing piece in my life was having real love,” she said.

Gaga added that Polansky, 46, is the one who convinced her to record her upcoming album.

“He was like, ‘Babe. I love you. You need to make pop music,’” she said.

“Like anyone would do for the person they love, I encouraged her to lean into the joy of it,” Polansky chimed in. “On the Chromatica tour, I saw a fire in her; I wanted to help her keep that alive all the time and just start making music that made her happy.”

Selling Sunset‘s Jason Oppenheim and Mary Fitzgerald are committed to coparenting their dog — even after his death.

“We are [still coparenting Niko’s ashes]. Jason just called me a few minutes ago letting me know how [our other dog] Zelda is doing,” Mary, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly before the newest season of the hit Netflix series started streaming on Friday, September 6.

Season 8 documented Jason, 47, and Mary, finding out that their 18-year-old dog, Niko, was diagnosed with terminal health issues and only had a few days or weeks left with them.

“Niko has been in my life for 18 years. I got him when he was a puppy,” Mary, who dated Jason before Selling Sunset debuted in 2019, recalled. “He has basically been my little rock. He has been there licking my tears when I am sad and celebrating all the joys and wins. I don’t really remember life without him.”

Former Celebrity Couples Who Still Share Custody of Their Pets

Jason referred to Niko as “the closest thing” he and Mary even had to “a son.” (The exes also share dog Zelda alongside with Mary’s husband, Romain Bonnet.)

“Romain is so supportive of it,” Mary added during her interview with Us. “And Jason is like his brother. So it’s amazing.”

After Niko’s death, the agents at the Oppenheim Group gathered for a memorial potluck. They brought food while showing support for Jason and Mary — who opened up about their unconventional grieving process.

“We put Niko’s ashes in the ink, then we tattooed our arms,” Jason revealed. Mary added, “Some people think it’s a little creepy, some people think it’s very cool. But it is meaningful to us and he is actually a part of us now. I think it is freaking cool.”

Jason pointed out that it didn’t stop there. “We are still coparenting the ashes so we go back and forth,” he noted.

In a confessional, Nicole Young referred to Jason and Mary’s decision to use Niko’s ashes for their tattoo as “a little concerning.” Nicole, 38, however, stood by Jason and Mary as they planned a chic dog funeral for Niko. Before the big event, Jason tried to make himself feel better by going on a shopping trip where he dropped $275,000 on a 2022 Ferrari Roma.

The episode wrapped up by documenting Niko’s funeral, which included a formal dress code, dog guests, a huge print out of Jason and Mary with their late pet, food from McDonalds to honor Niko’s last meal, several emotional eulogies — and naturally, a fight between Bre Tiesi and Emma Hernan about unrelated drama.

“[Niko] had a great 18 years. What the f—k, I can’t do this,” Jason said to the crowd before taking a moment to gather his emotions. “A lot of that was because of you guys and all of the fur babies that are here today. He lived a really loving and vibrant life. … I did the math this morning on how many times I’ve kissed Niko. It has been like 50,000 times.”

Jason continued: “After he passed, Mary and I came over right there and took our shoes off and our socks off. We were walking on the grass and I felt Niko beneath my feet. I felt him everywhere. I believe that Niko is all around us right now.”

Mary also celebrated Niko’s impact on her, saying, “He has been the best decision I’ve probably made besides my son. … He was the best dog and he changed my life.”

At the end of the memorial event, Jason and Mary took some of Niko’s ashes to leave under a tree in Mary’s backyard.

Circling back to the fight between Bre and Emma, the costars were discussing how rumors about Chelsea Lazkani‘s marriage were brought up on the show after Bre met with a friend who had tea about Jeff Lazkani allegedly cheating on Chelsea — and Chrishell Stause — came to check on Emma, which only upset Bre more.

“Get that f—king camera out of my face, I swear to God,” Bre told producers as she left Mary’s house after the argument.

Selling Sunset is currently streaming on Netflix.

Eve is getting real about her journey to success in the music industry.

In her upcoming memoir, Who’s That Girl?, the rapper recalled the odd jobs she took on as she worked to launch her rap career. In addition to being a retail employee, Eve, 45, also took on a second job dancing at a strip club in the Bronx.

“In my head, I was thinking, ‘I need to be grown now, and it’s the quickest way I can get out of the house,’” she told People in an interview published Thursday, September 5. “But I was so bad at it. I was lazy.”

After just two months, Eve quit dancing following an unexpected meeting with the rapper Mase at the club. At the time, he urged Eve to focus more on rapping instead of her odd jobs.

The Biggest Celeb Memoir Bombshells of 2023: Prince Harry's Todger and More

“When Mase became a pastor, I was like, ‘Yeah, that makes sense,’” Eve told the magazine. “He was my prophet that day. I needed that extra push.”

That’s not to say her experience in the music industry suddenly became an easy ride. As detailed in her book, Eve was signed — and then dropped — from Dr. Dre’s label Aftermath in a span of eight months.

She later found her home with the rap crew the Ruff Ryders, where she was able to release massive hits like “Gotta Man” and “Love Is Blind.”

“I think it was a huge blessing in disguise,” she said when reflecting on her experience with Dr. Dre’s label. “I needed to be humbled. I think a lot of the reason why I got dropped by Dre is that I was so, ‘When is it my turn? When are you going to put me on?’ So extra Philly feisty. I needed to be sent back home to be like, ‘OK, well, if you got this opportunity again, who do you want to be? What do you want to show the world?'”

Every 'The Talk' Host Through the Years and Why They Left

While Eve has also explored acting and hosting thanks to a four-season gig on The Talk from 2017 to 2020, her focus now appears to be enjoying a “soft life” with her husband, Maximillion Cooper, and their son Wilde, 2. (Cooper also has four kids from a previous marriage.)

“I like that I’m able to dip in and dip out [of the industry] because I have struggled with anxiety and stress, at this point in my life, I am very careful about not bringing that into the house with the baby,” Eve explained. “I’m an older mom, so my reserves of energy aren’t the same, and I want to make sure that I’m fully gassed up for Wilde.”

Eve’s memoir, Who’s That Girl?, is available Tuesday, September 17.

When asked by her fans on Thursday, September 5, about appearing on the revival, Kramer, 40, played coy. However, she said she’d been in talks with Hilarie Burton Morgan, who played Peyton Sawyer on the CW series, before Kramer’s character, Alex Dupre, joined the cast.

“When I spoke to Hilarie about this,” Kramer said in her social media video, winking at the camera. “Our characters obviously have never met. So, we thought it could be really fun to have them meet. So, we’ll see.”

‘One Tree Hill’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

Burton Morgan, 42, was one of the original stars of OTH, which premiered on The WB in 2003. Her character romanced basketball player Lucas Scott (Chad Michael Murray) and at the end of season 6, both actors exited the series.

Kramer made her OTH debut during season 7 in 2009 when the show was already on The CW. She played Alex, who was an aspiring musician that worked for Brooke Davis’ (Sophia Bush) Clothes Over Bros line, until the beginning of season 9. She exited before the series finale to pursue music — and left boyfriend Chase Adams (Stephen Colletti) behind.

While Peyton and Alex never met on the show, they both had Brooke in common. That connection inspired Kramer to ask her Instagram followers on Thursday whether they think the characters would “get along” in the reboot.

Kramer created a poll with the possible answers, “Oh for sure” and “Not at all.” As of Friday, September 6, the votes were 73 percent in favor of “Oh for sure” with only 27 percent of people thinking Peyton and Alex would butt heads.

Kramer, for her part, said she is “so excited for what those girls are up to” after learning that Burton Morgan and Bush, 42, were working on a sequel with Netflix.

Bethany Joy Lenz and More ‘One Tree Hill’ Alum Who've Become Hallmark Stars

News broke on August 30 that original stars Burton Morgan and Bush along with Danneel Ackles, who played cheerleader Rachel beginning with season 3, are developing a new version of the teen drama for the streaming company.

All three actresses will reprise their roles and serve as executive producers. The project will be under Danneel, 45, and her husband, Jensen Ackles’ Chaos Machine banner, according to Variety.

Later that day, Burton Morgan and Bush confirmed the news via Instagram, posting matching photos and captions.

“What if you really can go back home?” they wrote on August 30. “If there’s an opportunity to team with brilliant creatives and build a space where all our friends can show off their talents? Own our history? Reclaim our turf? Honor our fans? Sign us up.”

The women, who posed with fellow OTH alum Bevin Prince in the snap, added: “There’s only one Tree Hill, after all. And you — the #OTHfam — have shown us that it’s not just an idea. It really is the place where ‘everything’s better and everything’s safe.’”

‘One Tree Hill’ Storylines That Were Inspired by the Cast’s Real Lives

The sequel is reportedly going to be set 20 years after the original drama unfolded as Brooke and Peyton raise their own teenagers.

Deadline reported last month that Murray would not be returning as Lucas Scott despite his character marrying Peyton in the original series. Murray, 43, previously teased that he thought a revival was possible.

“I believe at some point, I’m sure there will be some new iteration of One Tree Hill,” he told TV Fanatic in June 2021. “Who knows? But I think it would have to be taken under new guidance and let out into the world.”

When it comes to being a mom in her real life, Edie Falco feels much more salt of the earth than mob wife.

“I think [my Sopranos character] Carmela’s parenting, you know, is contingent upon [certain things],” Falco, 61, exclusively told Us Weekly while discussing her upcoming family comedy, I’ll Be Right There. “She always knew that her husband, [Tony], would provide the backbone, the security, the money and all that. Wanda feels more like me, where if you’re a single mom — she’s not a single mom, but [her ex has] his own family now — it’s different.”

Falco noted that there’s added pressure to a parent raising their kids solo, as “decisions that have to be made” and the “finances” fall on them alone. “It’s a much larger responsibility,” she said. “So it feels very different.”

Directed by Brendon Walsh with a script by Jim Beggarly, I’ll Be Right There tells the hilarious and heartwarming story of Wanda, a woman finding her place now that her kids are grown, the divorce papers are signed and a new chapter of life is beginning. While Wanda still has her hands full with her sick mother (Jeannie Berlin), 8-months-pregnant daughter, Sarah (Kayli Carter), and wayward son, Mark (Charlie Tahan), she’s also trying to figure out what life is like when she’s putting herself first.

Us Ranks 2024’s Biggest Summer Blockbusters: Which Hot Hero Takes the Win?

“The writing felt like real dialogue,” Falco told Us of taking on the role. “That’s something I always respond to. ‘Does this sound like people? The way people talk?’ And it was about people and the stuff they go through, which is kind of what life is.”

While much of the film focuses on Wanda learning to fill space away from her loved ones, Falco told Us that some of her favorite moments shooting the film were with Carter and Berlin.

“Those are two extraordinary actresses where I don’t feel like they were trying to prove themselves. That helps you be better when you’ve got a little bit of confidence in your back pocket knowing that you’re good at this. And I felt that with both of these women,” she said. “So it was really just the best of all possible scenarios where you’re just having fun. It was easy and fun, always.”

Some of the most poignant moments in the film come when the three women are together, opting to take a breather from reality by enjoying a late night ice cream run. Falco said that while there was no improv happening in the scenes, the trio were able to pick up on each other’s “cues” and deliver something fresh every take.

“Each time we would run it, it would be a little bit different, but holding the main thing intact,” she explained, noting that landing the moment can’t be “hard” on small projects because there isn’t a lot of “time” to get it right.

“You do the best you can given what you have,” she added.

As for bringing Wanda to life, Falco said that there were aspects she pulled from her own life — she’s mom to teenagers Anderson and Maci — even without actually realizing that’s what she was doing.

“I never know how that works, but I’ll hear myself do a line and I’m like, ‘I said that to my son like yesterday,’” she quipped. “You don’t do it on purpose, but it becomes a part of your parenting.”

Falco thinks there also may be elements she draws from her own past, as she played mom of two and mob wife Carmela of The Sopranos for years before welcoming her own kids. “You do wonder if a lot of this stuff is things you’ve heard from your own parents or other parents,” she added.

While Falco is widely known for her time on the HBO hit, it’s far from her only notable role. She starred as Jackie Peyton on the beloved drama Nurse Jackie from 2009 to 2015 — a series with an upcoming reboot in the works with Falco set to return — as well as countless other network TV appearances, all of which earned her a combined four Primetime Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes and five Screen Actors Guild Awards.

In 2011, she earned her first Tony Award nomination for her role in The House of Blue Leaves.

When asked if at this point in her career she’d like to try out different aspects of the industry — directing or writing, perhaps — Falco told Us that performing continues to be her first and only love, whether it be on screen or stage.

“A lot of people are like, ‘I’d like to direct.’ I got none of that,” she said. “I just want to do more of the same. Different, but more of the same. I don’t have anything in particular, but I feel like, all of a sudden, a script feels almost magical. Like, a script will come to me, I’ll be like, ‘Oh, my God, I never would’ve thought of that. What a great idea.’ That’s what I wanna do next. It’s out there and I’ve been lucky enough that it has flown past my eyes always just at the right time.”

‘The Sopranos’ Cast: Where Are They Now?

While Falco is excited to get back in front of the camera for Nurse Jackie — “I’m just excited to see family again,” she told Us of the upcoming return — she’s also still basking in the post-curtain call glow of Pre-Existing Condition, an Off-Broadway play she recently wrapped in the East Village, a true return to her roots.

“I feel like I’m floating. It’s how it first started, you know, doing little teeny theater performances in little spaces,” she recalled, noting that she initially “wasn’t sure” how she’d feeling getting back on stage. “That’s where the love [of acting] started. And as it turns out, it’s where the love still is.”

“The fact that I get to jump around and do all different things,” she continued, “I seem to need all of them at different times. So I’ve been truly blessed with the shape of things.”

While Falco may relate to I’ll Be Right There when it comes to motherhood, she definitely possesses a perspective Wanda is sorely lacking. When asked to give advice to those trying to overcome personal hardships in life, Falco — intentionally or not — shared wise words her character could use in spades.

“Everything changes. What you’re in right now may seem difficult, but you just got to know that it will pass. ‘Cause it all passes, including the good stuff,” Falco told Us. “Do your best to just accept what’s in front of you and say, ‘All right, show me what I gotta do. Put me in the right direction and tell me where I gotta go and what I have to say to whom.’ Fighting it never goes anywhere good.”

I’ll Be Right There is now playing in select theaters and on demand.

Lala Kent isn’t in a rush to announce the name of her second baby — but what does Beyoncé have to do with it?

During a prerecorded episode of her “Give Them Lala” podcast, Kent, 34, explained why she didn’t want to reveal what name she chose. She cited the day the episode was going to come out as a major factor in her decision.

“Today is Beyoncé’s birthday. September 4th is her day,” Kent said on the episode, which was released on Wednesday, September 4. “We can’t announce today.”

Kent’s cohosts Jessica Walter and Easton Burningham asked why she pressed pause on her plans, to which she replied, “No one’s gonna give a s–t. It’s Beyoncé birthday!”

Pregnant Lala Kent Is 'Thirst Trapping in Third Trimester' in Bikini

The Vanderpump Rules star, who already shares daughter Ocean, 3, with ex Randall Emmett, wanted her second baby to have her time to shine. “I’m gonna wait. Baby S gets her moment,” Kent added while referring to the initial of her second daughter’s name.

One day before the podcast was released, Kent gave birth to her second baby. “Welcome into the world, my love,” she wrote via Instagram Story along with audio of adults gushing over her newborn.

Kent has documented the highlights from her pregnancy journey after deciding to expand her family solo. Earlier this year, Kent confirmed she was expecting a baby through intrauterine insemination (IUI). She previously hinted that she wouldn’t have more kids with a partner after her high-profile split from Emmett, 53, resulted in ongoing custody negotiations over Ocean.

“I will not even attempt to try and do it a different way. I don’t want another person involved,” Kent said about considering a sperm donor during a “Scheananigans” podcast episode in November 2022. “There’s such a high chance of it not working out, especially where we live. I’m not taking the chance. Like, I am so scarred from all of this s–t that has happened in my life.”

Vanderpump Rules viewers subsequently saw Kent’s search for the perfect donor.

“This is a monumental moment in my life. We are picking my future child, who is going to be a part of my life until I die. I want to take this science jargon out of it a little bit,” she said on an April episode. “I am trying to figure out little ways where I can look at this baby and go, ‘You were brought here out of so much love.’ It may look different but love is love.”

That same month, Kent shared what she did and didn’t want to know about her sperm donor.

“I would say that looks were the lowest on the totem pole. In the sense that I wasn’t walking in being like, ‘I want a supermodel of a man.’ I really wanted humor and I didn’t want to see adult photos. That made it too personal for me,” she explained on her podcast. “The child[hood] photos were great.”

Kent noted that while “genetics are fickle,” that was still a factor she was concerned about, adding, “Two kids could come from the exact same mom and dad and look totally different. I wanted to eliminate as much hardship as possible. The world is hard enough and I didn’t want to make it harder. I looked at physical appearance in the sense that I wanted this baby to resemble the family.”

Shoppers Say Wrinkles Are 'About Gone' Thanks to This $21 Cream

Jenna Ortega Wore This Exact Skirt and It's Only $22

Back to Routine — But Comfier! These NOBULL Sneakers Are Fall Essentials

Jenna Ortega is a dead ringer for Winona Ryder in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice — but that was not intentional.

“We had to be very respectful of the original film,” Christine Blundell, the film’s hair and makeup designer, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, September 6. “What we wanted with Jenna’s character was different than the Lydia child [in the original].”

While Ortega, 21, plays Astrid Deetz, the daughter of Lydia Deetz, in the Beetlejuice sequel, the characters are nothing alike. It was Blundell’s job to make the audience see that.

“The Lydia child was engrossed in the whole [thing] — she could see the dead people and she was never against it,” Blundell explained to Us. “Whereas Jenna’s character was kind of almost like, ‘Mum, you’re being daft, I don’t believe you.’ They were very different children growing up because Jenna’s character, Astrid, was very anti what her mum was about and didn’t believe in the afterlife at all.”

'Beetlejuice' Cast: Where Are They Now? Michael Keaton and More

To reflect that attitude, the team kept Ortega looking “as normal looking as possible” with barely any makeup.

“She wore the tiniest little bit of concealer, should she need it,” Blundell recalled. “But other than that, it was all about a bit of lip balm, coming in for a cup of tea in the morning and having a chat [while] really putting up her hair as scruffy as we could do it. For her character, it just looked like she wasn’t really bothered.”

With Ryder, 52, the challenge was keeping Lydia’s look the same, only aged up. Blundell explained that the film’s director, Tim Burton, was “very specific” that he wanted Ryder to look similar to how she did for Beetlejuice in 1988.

“He wanted to discuss it when [the actors] were sitting in the chair with us. It was a collaboration between us,” the makeup artist recalled. “Once Winona started, we played about a few different looks and worked out that … we had to give a nod to that fringe. I think I’d have been literally blasted by the fans if she didn’t still have an essence of grown-up goth about her. We definitely decided to sort of stay in that area.”

For Ryder’s makeup specifically, Blundell made it look like “it had been done a few hours before,” because Lydia’s life is “too mad to keep going in and make her look precise.”

At one point in the movie, Blundell decided to “overexaggerate the fringe” for Ryder’s look.

“Almost take it back to as close to the original as possible,” she said. “That was where we gave the nod to the original.”

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice is in theaters now.

Donna Kelce got into the game-day spirit at the Kansas City Chiefs home opener by getting crafty with some famous faces.

Mama Kelce, 71, made Chiefs-inspired friendship bracelets at The World’s Largest Tailgate: Tailgate Games on Thursday, September 5. The event — hosted by Rob Riggle and attended by stars such as Hayley Lewis and Heidi Gardner — got fans excited for the team’s first game of the season by livestreaming tailgate-themed competitions.

Decked out in Chiefs merch, Kelce posed for a sweet photo with Gardner, 41, while holding up her friendship bracelet, which read, “Go Chiefs.” Gardner, for her part, celebrated Travis Kelce’s mom by using beads to spell out “Mama Kelce.”

Donna has been seen sporting friendship bracelets since Travis, 34, began dating Taylor Swift last year. Inspired by lyrics from Swift’s Midnights track “You’re on Your Own, Kid,” Swifties helped popularize the recent friendship bracelet trend by trading homemade jewelry pieces at the pop star’s Eras Tour shows.

Taylor Swift's Best Moments With Travis Kelce's Family

The accessory is what helped Swift and Travis’ relationship, as the tight end tried and failed to give her a friendship bracelet with his number on it at her July 2023 Kansas City Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. The two later connected after Travis discussed the attempt on his and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast and were dating by the time she attended her first Chiefs game that September.

Donna sported several friendship bracelets while sitting with Swift, 34, in an Arrowhead Stadium suite back in October 2023. She sat alongside her son’s girlfriend on Thursday while watching the Chiefs defeat the Baltimore Ravens.

Donna also notably wore a friendship bracelet on the set of the upcoming Hallmark movie Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story back in July. The film stars Hunter King as Alana, whose family is competing in a Chiefs “Fan of the Year” contest. As she begins to catch feelings for the team’s director of fan engagement, played by Tyler Hynes, chaos ensues after her grandfather’s (Ed Begley Jr.) vintage Chiefs hat goes missing.

Every Time Taylor Swift Attended an NFL Game to Cheer for Travis Kelce

Donna will play the manager of a Kansas City BBQ restaurant whose name also happens to be Donna. She reunited with costars King, 30, and Hynes, 38, at Thursday’s The World’s Largest Tailgate event, during which the film’s first teaser was released.

Not only did the trailer feature a shot of the leading couple making a heart with candy canes — an apparent nod to Swift’s famous heart hands pose — but Donna is seen wearing more friendship bracelets in one of the movie’s first-look pics. (Many fans believe Swift and Travis’ romance served as inspiration for the film.)

Swift and Travis held hands as they left Thursday’s game together. The Grammy winner rocked a denim corset tank and shorts and red leather boots, while Travis showed off his sense of style in a matching white-and-tan button-down and pants, as well as a red-and-white trucker hat.

From Emma Hernan’s playful outfits to Amanza’s Smith’s sexy getups, the Selling Sunset cast never fails to slay the small screen with their fabulous looks.

One of the most talked about looks came during episode 2, when Chelsea Lazkani stepped out in an itty-bitty skirt while attending a broker’s open. The piece featured a pleated A-line design and matching underwear. Chelsea elevated it with a matching cropped blazer, lacy socks complete with a bow on her ankle and black pumps.

While some of the cast adored her look, Bre Tiesi and Mary Bonnet agreed the look was a little too scandalous for a broker’s open.

“Chelsea’s skirt is really short,” Mary told Bre, who agreed. “Her ass is out,” Bre said.

“I think her coochie is out too,” Mary replied as Bre quipped, “I don’t think clients wanna see that.”

The father of Olympian Rebecca Cheptegei is speaking out after his daughter’s death on Thursday, September 5.

Cheptegei succumbed to complete organ failure following a gasoline attack on Monday, September 2, allegedly perpetrated by her partner, Dickson Ndiema. She was 33.

Cheptegei, a mother of two and marathon runner from Uganda, suffered burns on 80 percent of her body and inhalation burns after Ndiema allegedly set her on fire following an argument. They were allegedly fighting over a land dispute, according to Kenyan outlet The Star.

“I have a lot of grief because I’ve lost my daughter,” her father, Joseph Cheptegei, told the Los Angeles Times in a story published Thursday. “I seek your help so that this person who has killed my daughter can be prosecuted.”

Celebrity Deaths of 2024: Stars We Lost This Year

Rebecca’s death comes just weeks after she placed 44th in the women’s marathon at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Authorities told the BBC that Ndiema broke into Rebecca’s house while she was at church and doused her in gasoline when she returned. Neighbors told police they heard the altercation and pulled the two out of the fire before they were taken to the hospital.

Ndiema also suffered burns on about 30 percent of his body and was admitted to the ICU, according to The Star.

“As it is now, the criminal who harmed my daughter is a murderer and I am yet to see what the security officials are doing,” Joseph continued. “He is still free and might even flee.”

Joseph also placed blame on the Kenyan government, who he says did not take complaints about Ndiema seriously.

“I blame her death on negligence by the government because the authorities should have taken it seriously when we first reported that this man had become problematic and he was fighting her,” he said, according to CNN. “We reported to the police, to the Directorate of Criminal Investigations, but they didn’t take any action to save her life.”

The Ugandan Athletics Federation released a statement after Rebecca’s death, expressing sadness and echoing Joseph’s call for justice.

“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our athlete, Rebecca Cheptegei early this morning who tragically fell victim to domestic violence,” the organization shared via X. “As a federation, we condemn such acts and call for justice. May her soul rest In Peace.”

Which Sports Are Being Cut and Added for 2028 L.A. Olympics? What to Know

Kenya’s Sports Minister Kipchumba Murkomen also released a statement on Thursday condemning the attack and calling on increased action to fight gender-based violence.

“This tragedy is a stark reminder that we must do more to combat gender-based violence in our society, which in recent years has reared its ugly head in elite sporting circles,” the statement read, per the L.A. Times.

Brandon Sklenar wants to put the It Ends With Us drama behind him.

The 34-year-old actor, who played Atlas Corrigan in the film adaptation of the Colleen Hoover novel, is shedding light on his decision to speak out amid fan backlash to the movie’s press rollout and reported behind-the-scenes drama.

“I put that [statement] out and I was like, ‘[Let’s] see how this goes.’ I don’t know. It just seems silly to me. It’s kinda defeating the whole purpose of the thing to spread any negativity,” Sklenar told Access Hollywood in an interview published on Thursday, September 5. “It’s an important film for so many women and for so many survivors of domestic abuse. That’s what it’s all about, is making people feel heard and strong and loved. So, to project anything but that just seems counterintuitive.”

Sklenar shared the statement in question via Instagram last month. He wrote that Hoover, 44, and “the women of this cast,” including star and executive producer Blake Lively, “stand for hope, perseverance and for women choosing a better life for themselves.” Sklenar noted that “vilifying the women who put so much of their heart and soul” into the project “detracts” from the film’s message and is “the opposite of the point.”

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni's Reported 'It Ends With Us' Drama Explained

“Trust me when I tell you, there isn’t a single person involved in the making of this film that was not aware of the responsibility we had in making this,” he continued.

It Ends With Us chronicles Lily Bloom’s (Lively) abusive relationship with Ryle Kincaid (Justin Baldoni, who also directed) at a time when her ex Atlas comes back into her life. The novel was inspired by Hoover’s parents’ relationship.

Ahead of and after the film’s August 9 release, Lively, 37, faced criticism from fans who claimed she glossed over the film’s serous subject matter while promoting it. Sony Pictures Entertainment Chair-CEO Tony Viniquerra defended the actress in a statement shared with The Hollywood Reporter last month.

“Blake, Colleen and so many women put so much effort into this remarkable movie, working selflessly from the start to ensure that such an important subject matter was handled with care. Audiences love the movie. Blake’s passion and commitment to advancing the conversation around domestic violence is commendable,” Vinciquerra said. “We love working with Blake, and we want to do 12 more movies with her.”

Behind the scenes, the film was also reportedly plagued with tensions and a falling out between Lively and Baldoni, 40.

“There were two camps on the film — team Blake and team Justin,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly last month. “This creative struggle set the tone for the negative experience behind the scenes and grew into them not speaking anymore.”

The insider said that director Baldoni was “made to feel that his vision wasn’t as important as Blake’s, and it stifled the creativity on set,” while a second source told Us that “any changes or input by Blake was to create the best film possible and honor the book.”

Neither Baldoni nor Lively has publicly addressed the alleged feud.

For tennis superstar Jessica Pegula, escaping sports is easier said than done.

Long before earning a spot at the 2024 US Open finals, the Olympic athlete was surrounded by the excitement of game day thanks to her parents, Terry and Kim Pegula.

The duo have owned both the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres team and the Buffalo Bills football team for several years. While they’d love for their teams to win a Stanley Cup trophy or Super Bowl ring, both Terry and Kim say they remain Jessica’s biggest fans.

“We always say she’s our first sports team and our favorite,” Kim told WKBW-TV in August 2019. “People often ask us which team we like better, what sport we like better, and she’s always been our first team and our favorite team.”

The Most Stylish Stars at the 2024 US Open: Simone Biles, More

While her parents may be billionaires and successful in their business, Jessica recently slammed rumors that she lives a privileged life complete with butlers, chauffeur and limo transportation.

“I’m definitely not like that,” she said in a US Open press conference in September 2024. “People can think what they want. I don’t know. I just think it’s kind of funny. A butler? I read these comments. … I’m like, no, not at all. But maybe I should. I don’t know at this point. Is that what you want me to do? Do all these crazy things?”

As Jessica tries to focus on her game, keep reading to get the truth about her successful family:

Terry Pegula

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Jessica’s father graduated from Penn State University with a Bachelor of Science in petroleum and natural gas engineering. In 1983, he reportedly launched the independent oil and gas company East Resources Inc. with a $7,500 loan from friends and family. In 2010, he sold the bulk of the company’s assets for $4.7 billion.

One year after selling his company, he bought the Buffalo Sabres. In 2014, Terry added to his sports portfolio when he outbid groups led by Donald Trump and Jon Bon Jovi to purchase the Bills for $1.4 billion.

Kim Pegula

After being born in Seoul, South Korea, Kim was adopted by Ralph and Marilyn Kerr at the age of 5 and grew up in Fairport, New York. After attending Houghton College, Kim was interviewing for a waitress job when she met Terry. He offered her a job at his natural gas company and the pair eventually married in 1993.

After welcoming three kids with Terry, Kim experienced a health scare when she went into cardiac arrest in June 2022. She reportedly suffered significant brain damage and memory issues and continues to undergo therapy.

“She loved to work. She did everything and our family constantly told her how she needs to slow down and take time for herself,” Jessica wrote in the Player’s Tribune in February 2023. “She was the woman behind my dad’s success and my dad would happily admit that. She jumped into this journey with him and learned many lessons along the way, breaking a lot of barriers. She was the shift in culture, positivity and the heartbeat of many of the employees. She gave everyone so much of her time and effort. She lived it and loved it, and it was felt by everyone she met. Now we come to the realization that all of that is most likely gone. That she won’t be able to be that person anymore.”

While Jessica’s professional accomplishments are hard to hide, she chooses to keep her personal life a bit more private. The tennis champion appears to have married Gahagen in 2021. He prefers to stay out of the spotlight as he works as a managing partner for Agarwood Wealth and Dracos Capital, according to LinkedIn.

He also serves as the vice president of Jessica’s skincare company, Ready 24, and helps her run her charitable foundation, A Lending Paw.

Kelly and Matthew Pegula 

In addition to Jessica, Kim and Terry welcomed two other children named Kelly and Matthew. Both siblings choose not to post frequently on social media. However, the pair continue to support their parents at various Buffalo Bills football games.

They also cheer on their sister Jessica during her biggest competition days. Days before Jessica was set to compete in the 2024 US Open finals, Matthew sent well wishes via his Instagram Story when he wrote, “LFG FINALS BABY.”

Jessica also has two additional siblings — Michael and Laura Pegula — thanks to Terry’s first marriage with ex-wife Annie Shirley.

“I don’t want any part of this,” Mary, 44, exclusively told Us Weekly about her initial reaction when Nicole, 38, alluded to the rumors during season 8, which started streaming on Friday, September 6. “Emma is a very sweet girl and I feel bad for her being portrayed like that.”

On the show, Nicole told Mary and Amanza Smith that she heard stories about Emma’s relationship status from a “source.”

“I wish I didn’t know. It involves Emma and that’s all I wanna say,” Nicole said. “ It’s morally upsetting to all of us. It’s just information that could really affect families, marriages and Emma’s reputation.”

Mary told Us that she had “no idea” where the speculation came from, adding, “Emma explained it to me but it was nothing like what Nicole said. So I just feel really bad that she’s going to be put into that light. In my opinion, even if something like that happened, I don’t agree with it. But you don’t do that to the world — you don’t blast someone out like that.”

Nicole never got into specifics – and never told Emma.

“I wouldn’t do anything. Just like I haven’t done anything, I wouldn’t. Because I don’t know anything. That’s why we’re all being awkward and weird about it. But as a married woman, that kind of s—t pisses me off,” Nicole said on the show. “If I were the wife, I’d f—king kill someone. But my husband also would never in a million years. … You know I’m going to get murdered for this. She would literally burn me at the stake.”

Mary maintained that she didn’t know why Nicole was doing this. “We didn’t know she was gonna do that. I don’t think any of us even thought anything about it. So I don’t know why it got brought up. I still don’t remember why it was brought up,” Mary told Us. “But it’s going to cause some problems for sure.”

‘Selling Sunset’ Stars Then vs Now: What They Looked Like Before the Show

Mary thought the speculation didn’t match up to who Emma is as a person, saying, “She’s very picky with who she dates. So I can’t imagine it’s true.” According to Mary, Emma has been “extremely upset” since she realized what was said about her on the show.

“I feel bad. She doesn’t deserve to be called out like that,” Mary concluded. “Especially the fact that it’s not true.”

Days before the new episodes of Selling Sunset debuted, Chrishell Stause and Chelsea Lazkani came to Emma’s defense. They publicly dragged Nicole on social media after both screening the episodes in advance.

“Someone needs to take my phone [because] . Are we really still giving air time to LIARS that just want air time??” Chrishell wrote via Instagram Story on August 31. “I will NEVER work on a show with her on it again. I would rather be sued.”

All of the Biggest 'Selling Sunset' Feuds Throughout the Years

Chrishell, who previously had issues with Nicole, made her stance on the issue very clear.

“Disclaimer when you watch: Just know she spews a disgusting lie about a bestie that is categorically FALSE and SUPER damaging,” she added. “It is NOT TRUE. [and] @done_and_done_productions you are disgusting for blindsiding [my friend] with this to see with the world instead of letting her at LEAST defend herself with the TRUTH.”

Meanwhile, Chelsea accused Nicole of lying for the show, writing via Instagram, “@itsnicoleyoung, you are the most diabolical piece of [trash] I’ve ever met, you wanna start a rumor about Emma because all the rumors about you are true. OK, let’s see how this works out for you… Spreading lies for views is so damaging.”

Emma has yet to address the situation but she has thanked Chrishell and Chelsea for their support.

Selling Sunset is currently streaming on Netflix.

Athletes at the 2024 Paris Paralympics are having no problem mixing business with pleasure, according to Team USA swimmer Anastasia Pagonis. 

In an exclusive interview with Us Weekly, Pagonis — a visually-impaired swimmer who competed in the 400m and 4x100m events at this year’s Games — said her fellow Paralympians have been hooking up with each other left and right. 

“Oh my gosh, yes,” Pagonis said, who spoke to Us while promoting her partnership with Gillette Venus. “It’s the Love Island Village. That is definitely a very, very common thing just about everywhere.”

Pagonis, 20, noted that she is happily partnered with a boyfriend back home — “I’m keeping my safe distance,” she joked — but that doesn’t mean she isn’t enjoying watching everything unfold.

What Athletes Have Said About Hooking Up in the Olympic Village Through the Years

“I love the drama!” Pagonis exclaimed. “I live for the drama.”

Things are so juicy that Pagonis pitched a reality show about the Village’s after-dark escapades. 

“That’s the plan,” she said. “We have to figure out the TV brand that’s going to film it. We’re doing it. We’ll call it Love Island Village. It will be perfect.”

While some of her fellow Paralympians are busy shacking up on their down time, Pagonis — who  first began losing her vision at 12 years old due to genetic retina disease and autoimmune retinopathy — has been busy addressing misconceptions about what it means to be a person with a disability. 

“I think that people think I have to look a certain way, act a certain way, be a certain way,” Pagonis said. “They put me in this box that I have to fit into. And if I don’t fit into that box, I’m a faker and a liar and all these awful things.”

She continued, “I want to show the world that I can dress cute, I can do my own makeup and I can be a professional athlete.”

Team USA Rower Used Tinder in Olympic Village — And It Didn't Go Well

When it comes to looking the part, Pagnonis’ partnership with Gillette Venus razors has come in handy for a very specific reason.

“Before I race, I always have a little shaving party,” Pagonis revealed. “I have to make sure my whole body is super smooth so I can swim fast.”

Pagonis added, “I’m a hairy, Greek girl. I need the razor more than they need me, that’s for sure.”

The 2024 Paris Paralympics come to an end with the closing ceremony on Sunday, September 8. 

The duo first crossed paths in 2007 while at the luxury Eden Rock hotel in St. Bart’s, which is owned by Matthews’ parents. While they were spotted dining together in late 2012, Middleton began dating Nico Jackson in early 2013.

Middleton’s three-year romance with Jackson ended in late 2015. Shortly after, she was spotted visiting the Matthews’ home. In early 2016, the duo attended a charity event together and went on a ski trip and by July of that year Middleton and Matthews were engaged.

Middleton married the former race car driver in May 2017 and one year later they expanded their family with the birth of their son, Arthur. Middleton and Matthews have since welcomed two more children, daughters Grace and Rose.
