Tony Romo Says Taylor Swift Relationship Is ‘Net Positive’ for Travis Kelce

Tony Romo thinks Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with girlfriend Taylor Swift can only benefit the Kansas City Chiefs tight end — both on and off the field. 

Romo, 45, who played 13 seasons as quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and now works as an analyst for CBS Sports, argued that Kelce’s life has actually slowed down since he and Swift, 35, started dating. 

“People won’t even realize this, but he’s probably doing less than he used to when he was younger,” Romo exclusively told Us Weekly via his partnership with Skechers. “If you get your picture taken going to dinner with your superstar girlfriend, it looks like you’re going out or something. No, he just went to dinner. Almost as if he’s married, going to dinner with his wife or something. He didn’t get photographed when he was going out with his buddies all the time.”

Romo continued, “He’s far less out there. He’s doing far less things than when he was younger. It’s just the fact that if you’re written about a lot and it’s not about football, some people are always going to think that it plays a role. But the truth is that it can be a net positive if you look at it closely.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

Romo expects Kelce, 35, to be just fine after a statistically underwhelming 2024 season, which saw the 10-time Pro Bowler earn career lows in both touchdowns and receptions. 

“That was his first whole season being under that microscope,” Romo said about Kelce and Swift, who started dating in September 2023. “It was the first full season and offseason where the public and the world knew. Like anybody, we all learn through experience and we get wiser.”

After all, Romo knows a thing or two about the pressures of being an elite athlete who is dating a pop star. The former quarterback dated Jessica Simpson from 2007 to 2009 during his time with the Cowboys. 

“Not that [Kelce] has to do anything,” Romo explained. “The guy is a [future] Hall of Famer who has played at the highest level. He’s won Super Bowls. He’s made some of the biggest plays in the most clutch situations ever. I think he’ll figure things out real quick, even if there was something to figure out. I think everyone should just put their trust in him.”

Romo added, “And I think he’s got himself a wonderful, wonderful girlfriend.”

Tony Romo and Wife Candice Crawford's Relationship Timeline

These days, Romo and his wife, Candice Crawford, are the parents of three sons: Hawkins, 13, Rivers, 11, and Jones, 7. 

As a dad on-the-go, Romo has his new Skechers Hands Free Slip-ins®: Max Cushioning Glide-Step® sneakers to keep him on his toes.

“Me and my wife are taxi cab drivers these days,” Romo joked. “Going from practice to practice to pickup to games. It’s a blast. It’s really one of the great times in my life doing all of this. That’s where Skechers works because I have the slip-on shoe and can be like, ‘Oh, gotta go to the next one. Oh! Didn’t realize we had another one. Slip it on and go.’”

Romo added, “It’s been a really enjoyable time for us.”

Kevin Spacey Quotes 'Friend' Elton John During Cannes 2025 Speech

20 May 2025 at 17:55

Kevin Spacey leaned on the words of Elton John during a passionate speech at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival.

During a Tuesday, May 20, Cannes ceremony that saw Spacey, 65, awarded a lifetime achievement award, the actor took to the stage to relay his thoughts and appreciation, with his words captured via an X video shared that day by Variety.

“I say to you all the most positive vibes, and as my friend Elton John once said, the reason this means so much to me [is] because I’m still standing,” Spacey, who began to tear up during one portion of his speech, said before repeating the title and lyric of John’s 1983 hit single. “I’m still standing.”

Spacey, who has been the subject of sexual assault claims since 2017 when Star Trek: Discovery actor Anthony Rapp alleged that Spacey made sexual advances toward him at a 1986 party, also acknowledged the late Kirk Douglas during his speech.

Elton John Says He ‘Can’t See Anything’ Out of Right Eye After Infection

“My thanks again … Kirk Douglas and his friends and tonight for all of you, for making me feel so welcome,” Spacey told the crowd, who applauded him at several points throughout the proceedings. “I would like you all to raise your glasses and just toast to friendship. Which can get us through anything in this life.”

It was not the first time Spacey had expressed public gratitude over support received from John, 78, and John’s husband, David Furnish. After John and Furnish, 62, both gave witness testimonies on behalf of Spacey during his 2022 trial in the U.K., Spacey said on Uncensored with Piers Morgan that the gesture meant the world to him. (Spacey went to trial after sexual offences were alleged by four men during Spacey’s time as artistic director of London’s Old Vic theater between 2001 and 2013. John’s evidence contradicted one of Spacey’s accuser’s accounts, and in 2023, Spacey was acquitted of all offences.)

Per a report published by The Independent in June 2024, Spacey told Morgan, 60, “You actually just reminded me that Elton was the first email I got on October 30th of 2017 – after the [Anthony] Rapp story had come out – saying, ‘We love you. Whatever you need, we’re here for you.’”

Rapp’s allegations, the first to publicly accuse Spacey of any sexual wrongdoing, claimed that Spacey laid “down on top” of him in a bedroom at the 1986 party and “was trying to seduce” him. (Spacey responded to the allegations at the time by apologizing to Rapp, 53, for the alleged misconduct via a statement. Spacey also claimed in the statement that he did “not remember the encounter.”)

Spacey added that John and Furnace had provided him ongoing support. “Elton has been there, and David has been there, ever since,” Spacey told Morgan. “What’s most interesting about the fact that they testified in the trial in the U.K. is that I didn’t ask them.”

Spacey concluded, “That’s the kind of friends that I have been very fortunate to have in my life.”

How 'American Idol' Prizes Have Changed Through the Years

20 May 2025 at 17:28

Winning American Idol has been a dream come true for many singers, but the prizes have changed a lot over the years.

Kelly Clarkson was crowned the singing competition’s inaugural winner in 2002. She reportedly walked away with a $1 million prize and a record deal with RCA Records, per Parade. In addition to the cash prize and contract, Clarkson and runner-up Justin Guarini both got a free vacation to Turks and Caicos following the season 1 finale.

Clarkson wasn’t the only one to take home $1 million as it was the standard prize for winners up to season 9. The record deal portion of the prize, meanwhile, is worth up to six studio albums. The winners also received a management contract with American Idol-affiliated 19 Management.

When Carrie Underwood won American Idol in 2005, she took home a brand new car alongside the cash prize and record deal. In 2023, Underwood shared that she still has the Ford Mustang convertible.

'American Idol' Winners Through the Years

“I do still have the car that I won when I won American Idol,” the country singer said in a March 2023 interview with Today’s Country Radio With Kelleigh Bannen. “So I have my blue Mustang.”

Underwood added that she will still drive the sentimental vehicle around on occasion.

“It always makes me want to drive it more, because it was such a pivotal point in my life,” she recalled. “That was the car that I was driving around when I first moved to Tennessee, and I’m very, very glad I still have that car.”

While it is not known how much season 10 and 11 winners Lee DeWyze and Scotty McCreery made, season 12 winner Phillip Phillips took home $1 million, per Today.

When American Idol ended at Fox and moved to ABC in 2018, the cash prize changed drastically. Winners now receive $250,000, per Variety. Season 16 winner Maddie Poppe revealed in a 2022 interview with Business Insider that winning the show doesn’t get a contestant “set for life.”

“You do get $250,000, but not really because of taxes,” Poppe told the outlet. “And you get half of it before you complete your record, and then the second half you get after you complete the record. So it’s just like an advance from the record deal, but I’m pretty sure I have to recoup it.”

Season 23 crowned Jamal Roberts as its winner in May 2025. In addition to winning the $250,000, Roberts and runner-up John Foster both won a Disney cruise. The pair each received a trip for four on the Disney Wish cruise line. The trip includes world-class dining, Disney entertainment, and character experiences, plus a stay at Disney’s private island, Castaway Key.

While not every contestant can win the grand prize, the ones that make it to the live rounds do get compensated.

“You don’t get paid until you make it to the live rounds, and then you can be paid,” seasons 17 and 18 contestant Margie Mays said in a 2020 TikTok video.

Where Justin Bieber Stands With Hailey Bieber as He Continues ‘Healing’

20 May 2025 at 17:00

Justin Bieber is trying to focus on the people and projects that mean the most to him during a pivotal time in his life.

As Justin, 31, remains under the media microscope with headlines surrounding his finances and run-ins with paparazzi, the “Baby” singer’s relationship with wife Hailey Bieber continues to be a light in his life.

“Hailey tries to be there for him as much as she can,” a source close to the Biebers exclusively shared with Us Weekly. “She is very patient and accommodating and helps him a lot. She is the most supportive wife, and he feels grateful to have her. They have been through a lot, but have been in a good place these last few months.”

A second insider added, “Hailey is a positive, good influence on Justin. She’s been a saving grace for him.”

Justin and Hailey Bieber’s Marriage Had ‘Total Shift’ After Baby: Source

In August 2024, the couple’s lives changed forever when they welcomed their first child, a baby boy named Jack Blues Bieber.

While the first source said fatherhood was “an adjustment” for Justin, the new role has also led to some encouraging changes.

“When his son was born, everyone was hoping that would be a positive influence for him,” a second insider explained to Us. “It’s what’s made him really want to heal and reflect on everything.”

In recent months, Justin spent time in Finland to escape the Hollywood noise and reconnect with creativity.

He also recently enjoyed a trip to Iceland with some of his closest guy friends, where he was able to feel refreshed and inspired to make new music.

“Justin needed a change of pace in order to feel inspired creatively again,” the first source close to the Biebers said. “Justin has had dark days recently and is going through a lot of changes in his life.”

Sources also told Us that the singer wants to get back to making music for his fans forever known as Beliebers.

Hailey Bieber Is Trying to Be as ‘Supportive as Possible’ for Justin Bieber

In 2009, Justin skyrocketed to fame when he released his hit single “One Time.” His most recent single was a 2022 one-off called “Honest.”

“He wants to put music out soon, but is doing it on his own terms,” the first source shared. “He needed to feel inspired, and he is really focused on putting something out soon.”

The second insider said those in the music industry are rooting for Justin and hopeful that he can get back to doing what he loves.

“He has been through so much, and people around him know how hard it is,” the source explained. “They are protective over him in the industry and want him to do well.”

Getting back on top, however, won’t happen overnight. The second source described this chapter of Justin’s life as a “self-reflection and healing period.”

Meanwhile, the first source claimed that Justin’s inner circle is small, with very few people helping him make big decisions.

“It’s a lot at once and he’s trying to adjust to his new normal,” the insider shared. “He just wants to be himself.”

Us Weekly has reached out to Justin and Hailey’s reps for comment.

'Cheers' Cast: Where Are They Now? Ted Danson, Rhea Perlman and More

20 May 2025 at 16:58

Sometimes you want to go where everybody knows your name — or in the case of Cheers, watch a show where you feel like family.

The critically acclaimed sitcom Cheers aired from 1982 to 1993, following a group of locals who hung out at a Boston bar of the same name. “Everything I do is because of the popularity of that show,” Ted Danson told Entertainment Tonight in September 2022. “It still makes me laugh when I watch sometimes. It’s funny and it’s great to see my friends and they make me laugh.”

Danson played the bar’s owner and head bartender, Sam Malone, a former Boston Red Sox relief pitcher. For the first five seasons, his character had an on-off relationship with Diane Chambers (Shelley Long). During one of their off periods, Diane dated psychiatrist and bar regular Frasier Crane (Kelsey Grammer). Sam, for his part, pursued savvy businesswoman Rebecca Howe (Kirstie Alley) after Long left the show during season 5.

Despite the lead characters’ undeniable chemistry, Cheers was first and foremost an ensemble show. Nicholas Colasanto, Rhea Perlman and George Wendt rounded out the original main cast.

Scroll down to see what the cast of Cheers is doing now:

Skims Emma Grede Shares Her Secrets to Success, Self-Care Routine, More

20 May 2025 at 15:35

Emma Grede is nothing short of inspirational.

She’s the Founding Partner of Skims, the cofounder and CEO of Good American and Forbes listed her as one of America’s richest self-made women. She also does philanthropic work for the Fifteen Percent Pledge and the Obama Foundation.

But that’s not all: the fashion and consumer brand mastermind’s resume just became even more impressive. She recently launched her namesake podcast, Aspire with Emma Grede.

The serial entrepreneur told Us that the inspiration behind the name stemmed from the notion of “believing in something” and then “aspiring” to achieve those goals. For Grede, it’s not just about having hopes and dreams, but “doing the work” to achieve them.

Martha Stewart, Keke Palmer, More Stars Share 101 Tips to Improve Your Life

The show, which is now listed at number three on Apple’s Top New Shows list, has since released several episodes, featuring chats with business moguls from Gwyneth Paltrow and Michael Rubin to Karlie Kloss. But don’t expect Aspire to be just another podcast in the entrepreneurship space that will leave people “entertained” — it goes beyond that.

Emma Grede Jamie Girdler

It’s safe to say the founder’s upbringing helped set the blueprint for this show. “[I] grew up in a place that was not very inspiring,” she said, revealing that she is “super dyslexic” herself. “I need things broken down in a really simple way,” Grede admitted. “And I really want to be able to do that for people.”

And though Grede is quick to also acknowledge how “fortunate” she feels to have “had exposure to so many incredible people,” she understands that’s not the case for everyone.

“Sometimes you don’t have the people around you that can give you [the right] information,” she shared. “[Aspire] is about giving people actionable, tangible advice that they can listen to and [use].”

Billy Porter, Donna Kelce, Guerdy Abraira and More Share Go-to Advice

Of course, we at Us are also curious about the daily habits Grede has attributed to her success. Discussing the topic of manifestation — a word that seems to be everywhere nowadays, Grede takes a more traditional approach.

Although she’s not completely against the idea of repeating positive affirmations and meditation, she stresses how nothing beats “real hard work and some sacrifice.” Added Grede: “None of it is a substitute for really hard work,” she emphasized. “You need to have a plan and you need to work really, really hard towards it. That’s what’s going to make you successful.”

She brought up another fantastic point. “If you’re gonna be successful to be successful in business, you have to be successful in life, right? You can’t really have one without the other,” she stated. “There’s other things that I do, parts of my routine, that enable me to be successful,” she noted. One of those other things: how she uses her free time upon waking up.

“My first ever job was a paper route. And when you have a paper route, you have to get up really, really early in the morning to go and get the papers,” she explained. “[That’s where] I learned the power of the mornings.”

Are Any of These Celebs' Luxurious Morning Routines Just Like Us?

But no morning is ever the same for the mom-of-four, and that’s completely OK and besides the point. Whether she uses an “hour and a half to work out” or to sip on some hot water with lemon, it doesn’t matter. She’s still avoiding checking her phone right away so she has time to think about how she will own the day.

Speaking of self-care practices, what beauty products can she not live without? “I have to confess: I am a product junkie,” she joked. But her answer is surprisingly simple when it comes to the pampering buys she truly swears by.

“I only have to do two things,” she stated, referring to Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Pen and her “favorite” scent, Chanel’s N°22 eau de parfum. “If I have my eyebrows penciled [in] and I have fragrance, I can go anywhere.”

What to Know About Investigation Into Influencer Shot Dead During Livestream

20 May 2025 at 15:22

An investigation into the death of influencer Valeria Márquez, who was fatally shot during a TikTok livestream, is ongoing.

News broke earlier this month that the 23-year-old influencer died inside a salon, with users taking to her Instagram to share their condolences.

“I had the opportunity to meet her in person, a person with a very beautiful energy,” one user wrote via Instagram, translated to English. “[I] am still in shock, [I] can’t believe I will never see her [livestream] again.”

Scroll down for everything to know about the investigation into Márquez’s death:

Influencer Shot During TikTok Livestream Was Killed By Hitman: Report

When Did the Incident Occur?

Márquez was killed on May 13 while she was on a livestream. AP News reported that the influencer was handed a stuffed animal and a bag of Starbucks coffee before she was shot and collapsed on camera. The TikTok appeared to be taken down following her death, but a video of the incident was shared online and confirmed by the prosecutor’s office.

What Has the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office Said About the Investigation?

Denis Rodríguez, a spokesperson for the Jalisco State Prosecutor’s Office, told AP News that a man posing as a delivery driver and another man on a motorcycle arrived at the Mexican salon in search of Márquez. The men were looking to deliver a gift to her in person, which led her to express feelings of worry on the livestream.

“Maybe they were going to kill me,” Márquez said in the video, per the outlet. “Were they going to come and take me away, or what? I’m worried.”

When the men returned, they asked for Márquez again — which Rodríguez told the outlet led prosecutors to believe that they were hired assassins.

“The aggressor arrived asking if the victim was there. So it appears he didn’t know her,” Rodríguez said. “With that, you can deduce — without jumping to conclusions — that this was a person who was paid. It was obviously someone who came with a purpose.”

The prosecutor’s office previously told The New York Times that the incident was being investigated as a potential femicide, meaning when a woman is presumed to be killed due to her gender.

What Has the Mexican President Said About the Investigation?

AP News reported that Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said her administration is working with local investigators to locate the killer. She also extended her condolences to Márquez’s family.

Jessica Simpson’s Colorist Uses This $18 Gloss to Maintain the Singer’s Salon-Worthy Hair

20 May 2025 at 15:15

Jessica Simpson made her return to the stage during the American Idol finale this past Sunday. The singer, 44, sparkled as she performed her new song “Blame Me.” Some may say her gilded dress — or her vocals — were the star of the show, but I beg to differ. Simpson’s blonde hair with brown highlights looked like liquid sand under the lights, and I learned that her colorist, Rita Hazan, used an $18 glaze on Amazon to achieve the desired hue.

The product in question is the Glaze Supergloss Toning Conditioning Gloss in ‘vanilla lights,’ which has a deep blue color to neutralize brassy or copper tones. Because Hazan’s goal was to give Simpson a cool-toned, natural finish, this gloss was the finishing touch to ensure her mane looked extra fresh.

Kate Hudson's Secret to 'Buttery Hair' Is This $22 Shampoo

Much like how blondes regularly use purple shampoo to boost brightness, blue-toned products work wonders on hair with brown highlights to prevent warm tones from pulling through too much. In fact, using a product like the Glaze Supergloss can extend the time between your salon visits, keeping your color in pristine condition and saving you money in the long run.

Beyond just enhancing color, though, this gloss offers hair health benefits, too. Consider it like a tinted moisturizer, except instead of for your skin, it nourishes your hair. Ultra lightweight babassu oil provides intense hydration while imparting glass-like shine. You’ll notice that your strands feel softer and more manageable after just one use — and the results will stick around for 10 washes.

Everyday people who have discovered this gloss also swear by this to keep their color looking just as bright as the day they visited the salon.

“I get my hair professionally done every nine to 12 weeks, and I will continue using this product religiously in between appointments,” one Amazon reviewer writes. “The cooling tones in addition to the saturation of nutrients does wonders for my whole head of hair! The final result in regards to color is stunning and my newly nourished texture is incredible — very soft and smooth. Plus, my hair is gleaming, the shine is literally astonishing.”

If one of the world’s most renowned celebrity colorists swears by Glaze Supergloss Toning Conditioning Gloss for her clients, it must be good. So go on and give this glaze a try. Your colorist might miss you, but your wallet will thank you!

The maven of grimy British gangster cinema has done a hard pivot towards the picaresque with his new film ‘Fountain of Youth’. But then again, argues Ed Power, Ritchie has done his best work when trying to take risks

David Bowie turned it down. Christopher Walken and Grace Jones didn’t. And Roger Moore didn’t like it at all. But four decades since the film’s release, does Moore’s very last 007 outing warrant its seemingly eternal drubbing? Jonathan Wells isn’t so sure

20 May 2025 at 14:46

Kylie Jenner knows just how to execute a sexy photoshoot.

Jenner, 27, took to Instagram on Monday, May 19, to show off more shots from her Hybrid Blush Kylie Cosmetics shoot. In one pic, the It Girl kicked her toned legs into the air wearing nothing but sheer polka-dot thigh-high stockings and white panties.

The reality star teamed her lingerie with a matching blouse featuring delicate spots, puffy short sleeves and a large bow on her collar. She completed her getup with ivory strappy sandals.

Jenner modeled the blush, which is available for retail on Tuesday, May 20, in the shot. She wore extra rosy cheeks teamed with bronzey eyeshadow, a soft winged eyeliner, long lashes and a lined pout. Her brunette strands were styled in big, bouncy curls and her crown was pulled back.

Jenner originally explained that she was dropping new blushes via social media earlier this month, sharing that they are a combination of cream and powder products.

She later shared that the pigment “might be” her favorite Kylie Cosmetics launch “ever.”

“These blushes are the first of their kind. It’s not a cream, it’s not a powder, it’s somehow a combination of both,” she explained. Jenner went on to share that the makeup is “sweat-proof, humidity-proof [and] waterproof” for up to a 12-hour wear.

The beauty mogul added that the product has long been in the making, revealing that she wore it to the 2024 Met Gala in the shade Summer Sorbet.

She then used a “dense brush” to apply the rosy pigment to her skin, proving how fast it melted into her cheeks. “So pretty!” Jenner gushed.

Larsa Pippen Shares Insight on Jeff Coby Romance, Why She Dates Athletes

20 May 2025 at 14:44

Larsa Pippen couldn’t help but gush about her new romance with Jeff Coby.

“I think we do very normal things. I think this is the first relationship where we don’t have to go out,” the Real Housewives of Miami star, 50, exclusively told Us Weekly on Monday, May 20, while promoting her partnership with Date.com. “We don’t have to do extravagant things. We just like to do simple things and we make each other happy. It’s been really fun.”

Pippen and Coby, 31, were first linked in March. The couple subtly confirmed their romance in April after they were spotted packing on the PDA in Miami. That same month, Pippen and the international basketball player made their red carpet debut at the Los Angeles premiere for The Accountant 2.

Pippen shared that she and Coby have “so much in common,” which is a big difference compared to her past romances. (Larsa was previously married to Scottie Pippen from 1997 to 2021 and dated Michael Jordan’s son Marcus Jordan from 2022 to 2023.)

“I feel like Jeff and I are kind of the same in that way. We both are traditional in a lot of ways,” she explained. “We both love to be around our family, and I feel like in the past I dated guys that weren’t like that, [they] didn’t necessarily care to spend time with their family [or] weren’t as close to their family as I was. So they thought that [it] was weird that I wanted to always be around my parents or my siblings.”

Earlier this month, Coby teased that he and Larsa planned on tying the knot next year. However, Larsa clarified it was “probably a joke.”

“We definitely are serious,” she said. “We love being around each other, and we’re having a good time.”

As far as a potential proposal goes, Larsa isn’t ruling out the idea but is unsure what the future holds.

“I feel like I definitely do enjoy being with him. We have a great relationship and I do love him,” she told Us. “So we’ll see.”

Scottie, Marcus and Jeff are all basketball players, and Larsa is aware that she has a preference for dating athletes.

“I think what I do like about athletes is the discipline,” she told Us. “I feel like most athletes are disciplined when it comes down to their regimen and how they go about their food and how they work out and sleep well.”

Larsa noted that while she’s been “surrounded” by athletes her whole life, it’s not the defining quality she looks for in a partner.

“I feel like if you’re smart and you have goals and ambitions, I like to be motivated,” she said. “I want to surround myself with guys that are motivated.”

Larsa added that she also likes men who are “really kind” and “smart.”

While Larsa is happily taken now, she knows the struggles of dating. That’s why she decided to team up with Date.com to help others find their matches.

“I was single in Miami. My girlfriends were single. We started researching dating apps and we couldn’t find the dating app that suited us. I just wanted a dating app that felt safe,” she told Us. “So I helped create Date.com and it is legit the most amazing dating app.”

Date.com is powered by AI and has facial recognition features to help prevent catfishing. When a user makes a profile, they have to take their profile picture directly from the app, so the image cannot be altered. Larsa also loves how the app has communication features.

“I never wanted to give guys my phone number. I wanted to get to know them first and not necessarily give them my number so quickly,” she explained. “But there’s no fast way of getting to know someone and let you hear their voice or see them. And so data.com has voice calling, video calling, and you could send mass text messages.”

The Date.com app is available to download on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
