Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker denied accusations of sexual misconduct.

“The allegations in The Baltimore Banner article about me are unequivocally false,” Tucker, 35, wrote in a lengthy X statement shared on Thursday, January 30.

“Throughout my career as a professional athlete, I have always sought to conduct myself with the utmost professionalism.”

Several hours earlier, The Baltimore Banner reported that six massage therapists accused Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior. The employees claimed that Tucker exposed himself during visits to a series of four high-end spas and wellness centers in Baltimore. Several of the therapists said that they ended his sessions early and refused to work with him again. Tucker was also allegedly banned from returning to two of the sites.

“I have never been accused of misconduct of any kind, and I have never been accused of acting inappropriately in front of a massage therapist or during a massage therapy session or during other bodywork,” Tucker stated. “I have never received any complaints from a massage therapist, have never been dismissed from a massage therapy or bodywork session, and have never been told that I was not welcome at any spa or other place of business.”

According to Tucker, the events at the wellness centers were “deliberately misconstrued.”

“I have always made a conscious effort to be considerate and respectful in all of the interactions with the community that I love so much,” he continued in his statement. “It is devastating for me to learn that anyone would feel I was offensive in any way. I maintain I did not act inappropriately at any point before, during or after a professional bodywork treatment session.”

Tucker added, “I would never intend to offend or hurt anyone, ever. As a matter of principle, I respect when individuals come forward to report misconduct of any kind. I support a process that allows claims to be properly investigated. But, for the sake of myself and my family, I cannot allow false claims to go unchallenged. These allegations are false and incredibly hurtful to both me, and more importantly, my family.”

Tucker married wife Amanda Bass Tucker in 2015, one year before they welcomed son Easton. Bass Tucker, who maintains a private Instagram account, has not publicly addressed the allegations against her spouse.

Tucker has been a placekicker for the Ravens since May 2012. A spokesperson for the team told The Baltimore Banner that, “We take any allegations of this nature seriously and will continue to monitor the situation.”

Tearful Nancy Kerrigan Reacts to Plane Crash: 'Not Sure How to Process It'

Nancy Kerrigan reacted to the “tragic” plane crash that killed 14 figure skaters and more American Airlines passengers.

“[I’m] not sure how to process it, which is why I’m here. Many of you may know that my husband is my agent. He keeps getting calls to do interviews, and I thought that was weird,” Kerrigan, 55, tearfully said during a Thursday, January 30, press conference held at the Skating Club of Boston rink. “I didn’t feel like it was right to be home and doing interviews for this … I think we all just need to go together. We just wanted to be here and be part of our community.”

News broke late on Wednesday, January 29, that a commercial American Airlines flight traveling from Wichita, Kansas, crashed into a military helicopter and landed in the Potomac River. A handful of the passengers were young athletes who trained at the Skating Club of Boston. (The skaters had participated in a U.S. Figure Skating–helmed camp in Kansas earlier this month.)

“Any time I’ve been able to be here and watch them grow. The kids here really work hard, their parents work hard to be here,” Kerrigan said of the Boston organization. “I just feel for the athletes, the skaters, their families and anyone who was on that plane — not just the skaters because it’s just such a tragic event. We’ve been through tragedies before as Americans, as people and we are strong. So, my response is to be with people I care about and I love; I wanted to support. That’s why I’m here.”

'Several' U.S. Figure Skating Team Members Involved in D.C. Plane Crash

According to Kerrigan, it was a “shock” when she first learned of the plane crash fatalities.

“When you find out you know some of the people on the plane, it’s even a bigger blow,” the Olympian said. “We just wish them well, and [wish] the families the courage and the strength to make the next steps.”

Skating Club of Boston Announces 6 'Family' Members Died in Plane Crash

She continued, “You look at people who go through tragedies, and you wonder, ‘How do they do it?’ I don’t know, but we’re so strong. Somehow, we have a reservoir to dig from, and each one of them is strong enough to get through this somehow. It will take time, but look beside you [is] somebody that cares.”

Two of the crash victims, coaches Evgenia Shishkova and Vadim Naumov, had previously competed against Kerrigan at the 1994 Olympics.

“I’ve seen them a lot of times over the years, but everything I’ve heard of them was maybe they’re a little tough, but with a smile on their faces,” she recalled. “Any time I walked [into a room], it was, ‘Oh, hi, it’s so good to see you,’ and [they were] welcoming and happy to see one another. To walk into here and not see that, I think would be very strange for anyone that comes here day in and day out.”

Marianne Faithfull Dead: Singer and Actress Was 78

30 January 2025 at 12:05

Marianne Faithfull has died. She was 78.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of the singer, songwriter and actress Marianne Faithfull,” a Thursday, January 30, statement shared with the BBC read. “Marianne passed away peacefully in London today, in the company of her loving family. She will be dearly missed.”

A cause of death was not immediately revealed.

Faithfull is survived by her son, Nicholas, and her grandchildren.

Faithfull released over 20 albums and was best known for her 1964 hit “As Tears Go By,” which was later covered by the Rolling Stones. Faithfull dated band frontman Mick Jagger from 1966 to 1970.

“It was wonderful hanging out with the Stones, and I loved Mick,” the British star recalled to The Guardian in January 2013.

Years later, Faithfull admitted that she wasn’t sure if dating Jagger, now 81, made her a “stronger woman.”

“I don’t know if it did. It almost destroyed me,” she told Rolling Stone in a 2021 profile. “Although it was wonderful, it was only four years. It was a wonderful time, and he was great, but I don’t think I fit into that life or what he wanted in a woman, that’s all. I couldn’t do it.”

In 2018, Faithfull told The Guardian that she was no longer in touch with Jagger.

“It’s taken me years to separate myself from the Rolling Stones,” she told the newspaper. “I never talk about Mick anymore, and I won’t talk about then.”

Jagger broke his silence on Faithfull’s death later on Thursday, sharing a social media tribute.

“I am so saddened to hear of the death of Marianne Faithfull,” he wrote via X. “She was so much part of my life for so long. She was a wonderful friend, a beautiful singer and a great actress. She will always be remembered.

Most Shocking Celebrity Deaths of All Time

Faithfull divorced artist John Dunbar, with whom she shares her son, in 1966 before moving on with Jagger. When the two musicians called it quits, Faithfull moved on with Ben Brierly. She and Brierly were married between 1979 and 1986. She was later married to Giorgio Della Terza between 1988 and 1991.

In addition to her prolific acting and singing career, Faithfull has battled numerous health scares, including a battle with breast cancer in 2006.

“I have absolute faith and confidence in my fantastic medical team and, of course, I will be well again, if not better than ever,” she said in a statement at the time, postponing her concerts. “Next year’s tour, I want to assure fans, will be one big celebration.”

According to her spokesperson, Faithfull’s cancer was discovered quickly in an early stage by doctors. Faithfull was in remission by 2011.

Dwyane Wade Says He Had '40 Percent' of Kidney Removed for Cancerous Tumor

30 January 2025 at 11:30

Dwyane Wade was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in late 2023, which required surgery to remove.

“This past calendar year was probably the first time in my life [that was] unexpected,” Wade, 43, said on the Thursday, January 30, episode of his “The Why” podcast. “When you go through physical elements that you can’t feel, you can’t see because I’m an athlete who’s been pretty healthy. … Post-retirement, you don’t get those same checkups [or] physicals.”

According to Wade, he “took a few years off” annual appointments and only saw a doctor after turning 40.

“I went in and I was like, ‘Doc, I want to know everything about my body head to toe. I got some things that I’m feeling. I got some stomach issues,’” Wade recalled. “In that process of checking the certain cramps that I feel at the time, checking why my piss is coming out slow [and] why my stream isn’t powerful [and] why it’s a little weak, I’m asking these questions now because my father went through something.”

Wade subsequently underwent a full-body scan, which indicated “that there was something on [his] right kidney.”

“I didn’t go in for my kidney, and so what I had on my kidney was a tumor,” the retired NBA star recalled. “It was [something] that could be biopsied, that they could surgically remove.”

Wade’s doctor then informed him that he needed kidney surgery to take out the tumor. After getting a second opinion, Wade made the “personal decision” to go under the knife to avoid cancer spreading inside his body.

“I made a decision to have surgery on December 18, 2023,” Wade said. “My father was there to walk me into the hospital. My wife [Gabrielle Union] was there when I woke up. There’s only two people you can have in hospital.”

He added, “Obviously, at 41 years old, [I’m a] pretty healthy guy that did have cancer. Thank God that I did do the surgery because the tumor was cancerous. So, I have one kidney and I have another kidney that is [at] 60 percent. They took 40 percent of my kidney to make sure they can get all the cancer off it.”

According to Wade, his surgery was likely the first time that his family and his children “saw [him] weak.” (Wade shares children Zaire, 22, and Zaya, 17, with ex-wife Siovaughn Funches, son Xavier, 10, with ex Aja Metoyer and daughter Kaavia, 6, with wife Union, 52.)

“That moment was probably the weakest point I’ve ever felt in my life,” he said. “The moments I was by myself, I was struggling. One thing you never want to do as a man … is [for] your family to see you weak. It’s tough.”

Wade further shared that he was “fortunate” that his family “jumped in” to help his recovery.

“I saw everybody show up for me and be there for me,” Wade said. “In that process of my weakness, I found strength in my family, in my friends, in my group.”

Wade has since recovered and made a vow “to do things differently” in his life.

“I came out of that and I’ve been doing things differently and I’ve been attacking life that way. I’m not waiting,” he concluded.

Spencer Pratt's Dad ‘Can Barely Talk’ After Smoke Inhalation From Wildfire

Spencer Pratt’s father initially wanted to help fight the recent Los Angeles wildfires instead of evacuating with the family.

“I’m trying to tear my dad away from a mountain of fire because he was, like, in this trance and would not leave,” Pratt, 41, said on the Thursday, January 30, episode of “The Viall Files” podcast. “I was like, ‘You’re gonna die, Dad.’ He was like, ‘I’m gonna stay and fight the fire. I did it in Malibu in the ‘70s.’”

According to Pratt, it took him “two hours” to coax his father to leave his Pacific Palisades home.

“I finally drove him away [and] then I watched on security cameras, he snuck back,” Pratt recalled. “So, now I’m watching my dad with this little garden hose as a mountain of flames is coming down the street. He’s not picking up his phone. The hardest part about the whole thing was watching and not having my dad pick up. I was like, ‘My dad’s gonna die.’”

The Hills alum further noted that his father “fully should have” died because he tried to extinguish flames at both his and Pratt’s houses. Both homes were ultimately destroyed in the blaze, which ravaged thousands of acres in L.A. earlier this month.

By the time Pratt’s dad picked up the phone, it “sounded like he had brain poisoning from the smoke,” he recalled. Pratt’s wife, Heidi Montag, later added on Thursday that they also called 911 to check on her father-in-law.

“They were like, ‘Absolutely not. No one is going there. Those roads are inaccessible. Whatever he is doing is taking his own life at risk,’” Montag, 38, recalled.

After Pratt called his dad upwards of “700 times,” the Pratt Daddy Crystals founder finally learned that he was planning to evacuate the area.

“He [later] went to the hospital with smoke inhalation poisoning or whatever,” Pratt told podcast host Nick Viall. “He can barely talk now. That was good and bad because it really took my mind off watching our own house burning down on the security cameras. At least my dad got out of there.”

Pratt and his father have since moved into new residences in the respective neighborhoods of Santa Barbara and Santa Monica. According to Pratt’s Thursday appearance, he and wife Montag are also discussing rebuilding their property but do not have the funds to cover all the costs.

“We put all of our money into our house and our life to build something for our kids to put in their name and every detail we just kept on every year for the last eight years,” Pratt exclusively told Us Weekly earlier in January. “Our house was 3,000 square feet. It is not a mansion in the Palisades. Everything was perfect from the stoves to the washing machines. That’s all we put our money into — and then we go and eat nice groceries at Erewhon. But our life was like, ‘Put our money into our house, eat clean groceries and that’s it.’”

Pratt and Montag share sons Gunner, 7, and Ryker, 2.

Many Washington-area sports teams have expressed their condolences after the fatal Wednesday, January 29, plane crash in the area.

“We join all of the DMV in grieving the tremendous loss of life in last night’s horrible accident over the Potomac River,” the Commanders wrote in a Thursday, January 30, X statement. “Our hearts break for the families of the passengers and crew of American Airlines flight 5342 and the crew of the Army helicopter based out of Davison Army Airfield, who tragically perished in the crash.”

The statement added, “Our entire community mourns with you. We are grateful to the first responders who worked throughout the night to support the search and rescue effort. May God bless all of the victims.”

News broke on Wednesday evening that an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas, crashed in the Potomac River after a collision with a military helicopter. The flight reportedly serviced four crew members and 60 passengers, many of which were members of the U.S. Figure Skating Team.

The NFL team wasn’t the only athletic organization to address the accident. The Washington Nationals baseball team also released a statement.

“All of us at the Washington Nationals are devastated by the tragic events that unfolded last night near the Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport,” an X statement read. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their loved ones. We extend our deepest gratitude to the heroic first responders who aided in the rescue and recovery mission.”

The city’s WNBA team, the Washington Mystics, also released a statement and postponed a press conference that was scheduled for Thursday. “Our thoughts and prayers are with those affected by the tragedy,” the organization added.

Given that many figure skaters were on board the American flight, many former winter Olympians have similarly rallied around the victims’ loved ones.

“My heart is broken for our skating community,” gold medalist Tara Lipinski wrote via her Instagram Stories on Thursday. “It’s unimaginable the loss. We will mourn their loss and ALWAYS remember them. My heart is with all the families affected — that part I have no words for.”

Many of the junior figure skaters had traveled to Wichita for U.S. Figure Skating’s National Development Camp, which took place shortly after the national championship. Lipinski, 42, and fellow Olympian Johnny Weir served as broadcasters during the competition.

“I’m praying for everyone affected by this tragic accident,” Weir, 40, wrote via his Instagram Stories on Thursday. “Members of our skating family were on that flight returning home from Nationals in Wichita. We mourn their loss and pray for their families and loved ones.”

It has since been reported that six of the passengers were members of the Skating Club of Boston.

She continued, “We are absolutely heartbroken over the news of the plane crash. Our hearts are with the families and friends of the people on the flight.”

News broke late on Wednesday, January 29, that an American Airlines flight from Wichita, Kansas had crashed in the Potomac River, which is located in the Washington, D.C. area. (Chapple, 61, resides in Wichita, while Vassos is based in Maryland. In addition to splitting time in one another’s cities, they are also hunting for a joint apartment in New York City.)

The American American flight reportedly serviced 60 passengers and four crew members. Several members of the U.S. Figure Skating Team were also included in the flight manifest.

“U.S. Figure Skating can confirm that several members of our skating community were sadly aboard American Airlines Flight 5342, which collided with a helicopter yesterday evening in Washington, D.C.” a statement from the skating organization read. “These athletes, coaches and family members were returning home from National Development Camp held in conjunction with the U.S. Figure Skating Championships in Wichita, Kansas.”

While names of the athletes on board weren’t immediately revealed, at least six of the passengers were presumably members of the Skating Club of Boston.

“Our sport and this Club have suffered a horrible loss with this tragedy,” Doug Zeghibe, the executive director of the Massachusetts organization, wrote in a statement. “Skating is a tight-night community where parents and kids come together 6 or 7 days a week to train and work together. Everyone is like family. Of the skaters, coaches and parents on the plane, we believe six were from The Skating Club of Boston. We are devastated and completely at a loss for words.”

According to Zeghibe, the victims had been “returning from U.S. Figure Skating’s National Development Camp following last week’s U.S. Championships in Wichita.” The camp is a training program for young competitive ice skaters.

Bristol Palin Details 'Painful' Facial Paralysis and Slow Recovery

Bristol Palin has been dealing with a case of facial paralysis.

“I woke up nine days ago with a weird little sensation in my face,” Palin, 34, said in a Wednesday, January 29, Instagram Story video. “My mouth was pulling this way and it just felt a little off. So, I went and looked in the mirror. I’m like, ‘Wow, this is looking a little weird.’”

After “a couple of hours,” Palin found that the entire left side of her face “was numb and just paralyzed.”

“Couldn’t really blink my eye, definitely had no movement on the side of my face,” she said. “So crazy. [I] went to the doctor. They ran tests, they did a CT scan [and] they put me on steroids, put me on other medications. Nothing came back with all the results. They think it’s just a case of Bell’s palsy maybe brought on by stress or lack of sleep.”

Bristol Palin Says Weight Gain From Breast Surgery Affected Her Confidence

Palin added, “I’m not really sure. There’s nothing that I was super stressed out about, but I think it was brought on by stress.” (According to the Mayo Clinic, Bell’s palsy is a temporary condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face.)

According to the Teen Mom alum, her face still “looks crazy” — but in an improved state.

“This is such an improvement from what I was looking like,” Palin explained on Wednesday. “I’m finally starting to get some of the sensation back. It’s been, like, a little painful the last two days, which is a sign [and a] good indication that it’s getting better, so praise the Lord.”

Bristol Palin Tells Us: Why I Changed My Face

Bristol, who is the eldest daughter of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin, further revealed that she will be grateful for “a normal functioning face” when the paralysis fully goes away.

“This has been wild,” Bristol added. “Also if you know anyone that has any of these symptoms, I would highly suggest going more of the Eastern medicine [route], as well. I’ve been getting acupuncture multiple times and that’s helped speed up the process of recovery tremendously.”

In a series of follow-up videos, Bristol shared that her paralysis worsened over the course of a full week.

“There’s absolutely zero movement on the left side of my face,” Bristol said in a throwback video taken on Day 3. “My nose hurts because it’s a little crooked. So crazy.”

According to Bristol, her face was “still completely numb” by the sixth day of her health scare. Two days later, she thought “it was getting a little better.”

Kylie Jenner ‘Loves Being on the Sidelines’ to Cheer on Timothee Chalamet

30 January 2025 at 05:00

Kylie Jenner is proudly Timothée Chalamet’s No. 1 fan.

“Timothée is very focused on his career and Kylie loves being on the sidelines cheering him on,” a source exclusively shares in the latest issue of Us Weekly. “She loves that she’s in the spotlight more than her. It’s been a breath of fresh air.”

Chalamet, 29, and Jenner, 27, have been together since 2023 and recently made a pair of back-to-back appearances earlier this month. The Kardashians star made a low-key appearance in New York City on January 25 in support of Chalamet’s Saturday Night Live episode.

Weeks earlier, she joined him at the 2025 Golden Globes when he was nominated for a trophy for his role in A Complete Unknown. (Chalamet, who played Bob Dylan in the biopic, lost Best Actor in a Drama to Adrien Brody in The Brutalist.)

Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet’s Relationship Timeline

While neither Chalamet nor Jenner have publicly spoken about their romance at length, the insider further tells Us that her famous family has “welcomed Timothée with open arms.”  The source also notes that Jenner’s two children — Stormi, 7, and Aire, 3, whom she shares with ex Travis Scott —  have also met Chalamet.

“They love him,” the source adds, noting that the couple aren’t in a rush to take the next step in their romance. “This is a very different relationship dynamic than what Kylie is used to. [It’s] opened her eyes to the more artistic side of the industry.”

Jenner has since been by Chalamet’s side at several of his movie premieres and both the 2024 and 2025 Golden Globes, respectively. A second source previously told Us that Jenner and Chalamet balance their relationship with their respective busy schedules.

“They both have really busy schedules but make as much time for each other as possible,” the second insider told Us in January 2024. “Timothée is always making Kylie smile. They have a very special connection.”

A third source later told Us in July 2024 that Jenner and Chalamet “communicate on a regular basis.”

Why ‘In Love’ Kylie Jenner and Timothee Chalamet Are ‘The Real Deal’

“They’ve gone on a number of dates recently, but they always do their best to try and stay under the radar as much as possible,” the third source added.

While Jenner has yet to publicly discuss her romance with Chalamet, she has admitted to enjoying his film projects.

“I do love that movie,” she quipped to WSJ. Magazine in October 2023 when asked about Denis Villeneuve’s Dune.

Chalamet, of course, has starred in the two-part franchise based on Frank Herbert’s dystopian novel of the same name.

Jennifer Lopez and More Stars Step Out at 2025 Sundance Film Festival

29 January 2025 at 15:49

Sundance Film Festival has proven to be the place to be for Hollywood’s A-list.

Jennifer Lopez, for her part, premiered her anticipated movie-musical Kiss of the Spider-Woman at the Utah festival.

“I’ve been waiting for this moment my whole life,” she gushed during a January 26 screening. “The reason I even wanted to be in this business is because my mom would sit me in front of the TV and [West Side Story] would come on once a year. I remember I was mesmerized and was like, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ That was always my goal. … It’s just an honor to be able to be part of this movie.”

Ahead of the Kiss of the Spider-Woman event, Lopez hit up Tao Group Hospitality’s party on January 25. She even surprised fellow attendees and took the mic to perform her hits “Jenny From the Block” and “All I Have.” Tao later hosted the official afterparty for Kiss of the Spider-Woman on January 26.

Clare Crawley Has Shady Reaction to Matt James, Rachael Kirkconnell Split

29 January 2025 at 15:24

Clare Crawley is apparently reflecting on Matt James nearly appearing on her Bachelorette season.

“Catching up on socal news and smh at some of this stuff,” Crawley, 43, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Wednesday, January 29. “Remember that one time I specifically asked producers to please not allow one specific guy on my season because I knew for a fact he was NOT looking for a serious relationship whatsoever.”

She added, “I didn’t want him to waste anyone’s time. So, instead, they made him the next Bachelor.”

After failed stints on Juan Pablo Galavis’ season 18 of The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise and Bachelor Winter Games, Crawley was tapped as the franchise lead in 2020. The journey — which was initially delayed amid the coronavirus pandemic — was slated to feature James, now 33, as one of her suitors. By the time production kicked off, James was no longer a cast member. He went on to become the first Black Bachelor. (At the time, James was known as franchise favorite Tyler Cameron’s roommate and college friend.)

Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s Split: What Went Wrong?

On James’ season later in 2020, he fell in love with finalist Rachael Kirkconnell. They dated on and off for four years before calling it quits for good earlier this month. According to Kirkconnell, 28, she was blindsided by James’ decision to end their relationship.

“He said that, at the end of the day, there were just qualities about me that he worries about having in a wife,” Kirkconnell claimed on the “Call Her Daddy” podcast episode that dropped on Tuesday, January 28. “At the end of the day, there are things that we aren’t compatible with and the whole accountability and saying sorry and all that was really the main thing.”

She added, “It was just one of those things where he, I think, just had this realization that ‘I should want to propose to you by this time. Like, at this point in our relationship, I should be wanting those things and I should be ready for that. But I’m not still, I still don’t feel like we’re ready or I don’t feel like I’m ready. I don’t know if I ever see myself proposing to you. I can’t actually see myself married to you.’”

James did not propose to Kirkconnell during his season of The Bachelor, instead opting to date. They briefly broke up after past racially insensitive photos of Kirkconnell resurfaced online.

“He felt so much pressure to just make the right decision and to stand by what was right for him at the time,” she recalled on Tuesday. “And, you know, strangers and people that were really close to him in his life were saying, like, ‘I don’t think you should be with her.’ And so I think at the time, he thought that was the right decision, just to take a step back and not be together.”

Rachael Reminded Us Matt Saw Someone Else During 1st Breakup: What Happened

According to Kirkconnell, she was “definitely shocked” when James broke up with her the first time.

“We were very happy together, even with all of the chaos around us when it was just me and him behind closed doors, it was amazing,” she said. “It was so much fun. We were so happy when we decided to not let the outside noise get to us.”

Years after Kirkconnell and James reconciled, they constantly fired back at pressure to get engaged. During her “Call Her Daddy” appearance, the graphic designer also claimed that James recently asked about engagement ring preferences.

James has not publicly addressed any of Kirkconnell or Crawley’s claims outside of his initial faith-driven breakup statement.

“Father God, give Rachael and I strength to mend our broken hearts,” James wrote via Instagram at the time. “Give us a peace [sic] about this decision to end our relationship that transcends worldly understanding. Shower our friends and family with kindness and love to comfort us. And remind us that our Joy comes from you, Lord 💔.”

As for Crawley, her Bachelorette season ended within 12 days when she got engaged to Dale Moss. After they broke up, she eventually moved on with now-husband Ryan Dawkins.

Heidi Klum Celebrates as Son Henry, 19, Makes Paris Fashion Week Debut

29 January 2025 at 11:26

Heidi Klum’s 19-year-old son, Henry, is following in her fashionable footsteps and made his runway debut during Paris Haute Couture Fashion Week.

“So proud of you Henry,” Klum, 51, wrote via Instagram on Tuesday, January 28. “Opening the Lena Erziak Haute Couture Show in Paris ❤❤❤.”

Henry, whom Klum shares with ex-husband Seal, walked in Erziak’s Spring/Summer 2025 presentation in two black suits. One look featured a dramatic open back, while the other was accessorized with an oversized black scarf.

“I’m more excited than nervous,” Henry told Vogue Germany ahead of the fashion show. “I’m going to do my best and try to enjoy every moment to the fullest!”

He further gushed that he felt “very proud” to strut down the runway in Erziak’s show.

“I don’t do a lot of preparation, but since I usually wear dark nail polish, I kept my nails a little more neutral for my arrival in Paris,” he joked to Vogue.

In addition to a subdued manicure, Henry’s hair was styled in his signature locs.

“To make Henry feel comfortable, we didn’t change his natural look,” hairstylist Alexander von Trentini told the outlet. “With the dreads, it is particularly important to capture the texture and create a well-groomed look. For Henry’s hair, I use a special Afro sponge.”

Klum is a mother of four. She shares daughter Leni (also a model) with ex Flavio Briatore, as well as sons Henry and Jonah and daughter Lou with Seal. The “Kiss From a Rose” singer, who adopted Leni when she was 5 years old, and Klum split in 2012 and continue coparenting their children. (Klum has since married guitarist Tom Kaulitz, while Seal, 61, has been in a relationship with Laura Strayer since 2021.)

Heidi Klum Attends Son Henry’s High School Graduation

“To me, they are simply my mother and father,” Henry recalled to the German publication. “I admire the hard work they put into their success every day. Their creativity inspires me and they have always encouraged my siblings and me to pursue our own artistic interests.

Klum and Seal are among their kids’ biggest cheerleaders. Before Henry’s modeling debut, sister Leni, 20, similarly made her mark in the industry.

“Leni told me to look straight ahead and walk as if I was balancing a book on my head,” Henry told Vogue of his sibling’s advice. “My mother told me to do my best and not forget to have fun. My mother often reminds me to pay attention to my posture, so I try to heed her advice.”

According to Henry, he didn’t always envision becoming a model.

“I have many interests — sports, music, film and fashion,” he explained. “I want to use the different creative experiences that are available to me to find the right path for my future.”

The Love Is Blind pods are moving to the Twin Cities for season 8.

“This Valentine’s Day 2025 will mark the five-year anniversary of the premiere of Love Is Blind and it will be the launch of season 8,” cohost Vanessa Lachey said during the season 7 reunion special, which hit Netflix in October 2024. “[It] takes place in Minneapolis! Here to kick off that season, we have three of the season 8 participants in the audience here.”

New cast members Alex, Brittany and Joey were then shown in the audience.

Love Is Blind season 1 debuted on Netflix in 2020, introducing the revolutionary dating experiment in which a group of singles attempt to meet their dream partner sight unseen in just 10 days. Pairs will only meet in person after getting engaged in the pods.

After seven seasons, the Love Is Blind has been proven to be a success with 11 couples still married. Season 4 alums Bliss Poureetezadi-Goytowski and Zack Goytowski, as well as season 3 favorites Alexa and Brennon Lemieux have welcomed babies, daughters Galileo and Vienna, respectively. (Matt Barnett and Amber Pike, who fell in love during the inaugural Love Is Blind season, are gearing up to join the parenting club as Amber announced her pregnancy earlier in October 2024.)

Where Is ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 Taking Place?

The pods are moving up north, all the way to Minnesota for its eighth season. It was filmed in March 2024, per multiple fan sightings on social media.

Will Nick and Vanessa Lachey be Back as ‘Love Is Blind’ Hosts?

It is likely that the Lacheys, who have helmed every season of the U.S. version of the dating show, will return. They also announced season 8 while emceeing the previous season’s reunion special.

“Every season we fall in love with a new group of hopeful singles and find so much happiness in watching the married couples thrive from what they discovered through this experiment,” Nick said during the announcement.

Two of the men, Alex and Joey, sat beside female participant Brittany during the season 7 reunion.

“I personally just prioritized other things in my life and work and friends and travel,” Alex said of his decision to apply for the experiment. “It’s such a small community. It’s not, like, a major city, but it’s also not a small town so you kind of see the same people over and over and it’s a small bar scene. I just never found the right person that clicked for me, but I’m excited to be here.”

The full list of Minnesota-based participants dropped in January 2025, less than two weeks before the season premiere.

A ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 Trailer Teases Lots of Drama

Netflix dropped a trailer on January 28, 2025, hinting that many of the pod participants find love.

“When the doors opened and I saw him, I thought, ‘He’s so familiar to me,’” one woman quipped in a voiceover. “I believe he knew exactly what I looked like the entire time we were talking through a wall.”

Other contestants proclaimed that they were so lucky to find love sight unseen.

Later in the clip, one Netflix bride-to-be claimed that she saw “a girl on TikTok crying” over a presumed ex. (In March 2024, a handful of social media users claimed to be dating contestants from season 8 shortly before filming began.)

Other castmates also questioned their partners’ fidelity. “The guy lives in the building we moved into,” one man alleged.

When Does ‘Love Is Blind’ Season 8 Premiere?

The first batch of Love Is Blind season 8 episodes will drop on Netflix February 14, 2025. Successive episodes will be released weekly.

Ali Fedotowsky Says Husband Had 'Zero Symptoms' Before Cancer Diagnosis

Ali Fedotowsky and her husband, Kevin Manno, are opening up about his ongoing cancer battle.

“The crazy thing is he had absolutely ZERO symptoms and his blood work came back perfect,” Fedotowsky, 40, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, January 29, referring to her husband’s health before his diagnosis. “So we thought it was important to share his story. … We can’t stress enough, how important it is to have a doctor [who] pays attention to your charts, and of course, paying attention to your own charts and follow-ups! Which we didn’t. Thank goodness our doctor did.”

The former Bachelorette and Manno, 41, confirmed earlier this month that he was recently diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer, calling it “very treatable.”

“Kevin had no symptoms [and] still has no symptoms,” Fedotowsky said in her Wednesday update. “[He] feels so healthy, best shape of your life. I mean, your bloodwork at every annual [check-up] has come back absolutely perfect. No lumps and bumps in his throat, like, his thyroid has been felt.”

Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky's Husband Kevin Diagnosed With Thyroid Cancer

According to Manno, he and Fedotowsky also each underwent a Prenuvo full-body MRI scan “a little over a year ago.”

“We both, for the most part, got clean bills of health,” Manno said. “They did detect two spots on my thyroid and then my primary care doctor was like, ‘OK, that’s something. We’ll take another look at it in a year and see what’s going on.’”

Manno, at his doctor’s request, recently underwent an ultrasound and a biopsy that confirmed the presence of cancer.

“Not only had it doubled in size in the year, but then the biopsy showed that it was cancerous,” Manno recalled. “My overall feeling is just, like, gratitude and I feel so thankful that we caught this when we did. Early detection is, sort of, the message that we want to spread now.”

Fedotowsky also credits the Prenuvo scan with saving Manno’s life.

“I feel like this is such a blessing in a way,” Fedotowsky concluded. “It has given us a new outlook on life and it makes us more appreciative for every single day and we can handle this and take care of this. You’re going to be around forever.”

Manno is scheduled to undergo a surgical procedure to remove the cancerous tissue.

“The prognosis is very good,” he said in a Sunday, January 26, social media video. “It looks good. It’s going to be something I can go in February 10th [and have a] surgery. We’re going to knock it out and it’ll be behind us.”

Fedotowsky and Manno have been married since 2017 and share two children: Molly, 8, and Riley, 6.

Diddy Accuser Claims He Used 'Entire Bottle' of Baby Oil in 5 Minutes

A woman who allegedly had a four-year relationship with Sean “Diddy” Combs claimed that she saw the disgraced music mogul months before his arrest.

The woman, identified by the pseudonym Nicole, broke her silence in a Rolling Stone interview published on Tuesday, January 28. She alleged that she last visited Diddy, 55, in July 2024 when he reportedly “shoved two pills into her mouth.” Nicole claimed that the drugs made her black out and she only woke up several hours later in a destroyed room surrounded by empty bottles of baby oil, a hookah, towels, food and wine bottles.

While Nicole immediately went home, she tried to put distance between herself and Diddy. He allegedly last reached out in September 2024 and asked her to visit him in New York City, one day before he was arrested for sex trafficking and more charges.

Nicole, denying his request, then filed an anonymous lawsuit against Diddy and accused the rapper of sexual assault and battery.

Diddy’s Attorneys Claim Videos of Him and Cassie ‘Confirm’ His Innocence

“The person that I was so in love with, that I cared about like family — I’m finding out every single day that this person is a monster,” Nicole said. “I was making up excuses for [him] drugging and [sexually assaulting] me. … I’m finding out that maybe I didn’t know this person and I was just manipulated.”

In Nicole’s legal filing, she detailed her encounters with Diddy, claiming that she would be tasked with “performing a show” for him. She also alleged that Diddy would make them take ecstasy together before Nicole was encouraged to “coat herself in warmed baby oil.”

An overwhelming amount of baby oil was found at Diddy’s compounds during a March 2024 raid by Homeland Security before any formal charges were filed. According to Nicole, Diddy frequently used the oil during sexual encounters. She told Rolling Stone that they could often “go through an entire bottle” in less than five minutes.

According to Nicole, she also apparently “knew better” than to push back at any of Diddy’s sexual requests.

Diddy Predicted He’d Be Arrested for His Parties in 1999 Interview

“I feel like the devil that would come out of him was during these turn-up times,” Nicole claimed to the outlet. “It would be like a switch. We would be having so much fun, and then there’s like a time where he’s just taken it too far drug-wise, that he wants exactly what he wants.”

She added, “He’s never put his hands on me, but I knew what he was capable of.”

Diddy has not publicly reacted to Nicole’s latest allegations but has denied other similar claims.

In September 2024, Diddy was arrested on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, conspiracy and transportation to engage in prostitution. A 14-page indictment claimed that Diddy “abused, threatened and coerced women and others around him” for decades.

Diddy pleaded not guilty to the claims before being remanded to Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center ahead of his 2025 trial date. He was also denied bail following four separate appeals.

“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” Diddy’s attorney Marc Agnifilo told Us Weekly in a statement at the time. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children and working to uplift the Black community. He is an imperfect person, but he is not a criminal.”

The statement concluded, “To his credit, Mr. Combs has been nothing but cooperative with this investigation and he voluntarily relocated to New York last week in anticipation of these charges. Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts. These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”

Inside Taylor Swift's Relationship With Travis Kelce's Mom Donna

29 January 2025 at 09:50

Taylor Swift and Donna Kelce’s friendship first made headlines when they were seen together at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium.

Swift started dating Travis Kelce, the youngest son of Donna and ex-husband Ed Kelce, in summer 2023. The following September, she went to cheer him on during one of the Kansas City Chiefs’ home football games. Swift sat beside Donna in a private suite, where they sweetly high-fived after one of Travis’ touchdowns.

As Swift and Travis’ romance kept progressing, so did her bond with Donna.

“Taylor has really been integrated into the family,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in March 2024, noting Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, have also welcomed Swift into their cheering section with open arms. “They have fully embraced her. It’s a whole new world and chapter for her.”

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

Swift joined Ed, Donna, Jason and Kylie in a private suite at both the 2024 AFC championship and Super Bowl LVIII. After the Chiefs won both games, Swift hit the field with the Kelces to congratulate Travis.

Seeing Swift bond with his family has been especially meaningful to Travis.

“Everybody knows how close Travis is with his family,” a second source told Us in January 2024. “So it really means everything to him how seamlessly Taylor blends in with all of them. His family is all about just hanging out, joking and having a great time. It’s almost like she’s known his family forever, and he loves that about her.”

Donna once again sat with Swift during the Chiefs’ October 1 away game in New Jersey. Days later, she was asked about the pop star dating her son during an interview on the Today show.

“It’s fairly new, so I don’t like to talk about it,” Donna said on the morning show. “I honestly can’t tell you. It’s just too new.”

Donna also said it “was OK” interacting with Swift, but she later regretted being so blasé. According to Travis’ WSJ. Magazine profile in November 2023, he called Donna “immediately” after the broadcast and reassured his mom that “she did a super job.”

Throughout the NFL season, Donna alternates between attending Travis and Jason’s team games. (Jason retired from the Philadelphia Eagles in early 2024.) When she hits up Travis’ games, she is often seated with Swift in a private suite.

The two women notably sat next to each other at the AFC Wild Card playoffs on January 13 and the AFC championship on January 28. During the latter, Swift wore a ring with a replica of Travis’ jersey that had been a gift from Donna.

After the game, Donna updated her Facebook banner photo with a snap with Taylor and the rest of their suitemates in the box.

“That was a picture where all of us were so excited that we’re in the suite,” Donna told Today in early February.  “And we were so excited that they made it to the Super Bowl that we took a shot of everybody that was there, so it wasn’t anything calculating or anything like that.”

She added, “It was just everybody that was supporting my son and I was so happy to put that picture on Facebook, yes.”

The Chiefs won the Super Bowl, marking the team’s second Lombardi Trophy in a row, on February 11 in Las Vegas. After the game ended, Donna and Swift walked on the field holding hands.

April 2024

Swift dropped her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, on April 19, and Donna listened to all 31 songs that same day.

“It’s her best [album],” Donna told Us less than one week later at the QVC Women’s Summit in Las Vegas.

TTPD features several songs that seemingly have Travis-coded references, though Donna played coy about whether her son was indeed Swift’s muse.

“I know there’s a few that some people think are about Travis, but we’ll just see,” Donna quipped to Us. “You know, I’ll have to ask her when I see her.”

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes' Best BFF Moments

29 January 2025 at 09:50

Taylor Swift and Brittany Mahomes prove it’s nice to have a friend on NFL game days.

Brittany, who is married to Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, sparked a friendship with Swift during the 2023-2024 season after the pop star began dating Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

“They have a really genuine friendship and love hanging out at the games together and cheering on their men,” a source exclusively told Us Weekly in January 2024. “Brittany loves that Taylor is dating Travis, and she’s so supportive of their relationship. They have a very similar sense of humor and are always cracking jokes and laughing.”

Brittany has frequently been seated next to Swift at Chiefs home and away games, with the two women enthusiastically cheering (and sharing secret handshakes) whenever their partners caught a pass or scored a touchdown.

Their friendship also extends well beyond the NFL gridiron with Brittany even receiving several invitations to Swift’s star-studded girls’ nights. Swift even made Brittany and her husband a “sentimental” gift after their third baby arrived in January 2025.

One of Taylor Swift’s most devoted fans met the pop star at the Kansas City Chiefs’ AFC Championship Game — all while wearing Philadelphia Eagles merch.

“Meet my bff, her name is Taylor 💕,” Nicole Viscount wrote via Instagram on Monday, January 27, sharing a selfie from Swift’s Arrowhead Stadium suite.

Swift, 35, watched the Chiefs’ Sunday, January 26, football game from a private suite at KC’s Arrowhead Stadium in support of boyfriend Travis Kelce. At one point, the singer posed for a selfie with Viscount, 29, and dropped a kiss on her cheek.

Swift was dressed to impress in a Louis Vuitton sweater with a coordinating beanie and a pair of gloves from the fashion house. She completed her look with a black miniskirt, matching heeled combat boots and red tights. Viscount, for her part, sported a Philadelphia Eagles hat and a gray, fuzzy coat. (The Chiefs will take on the Eagles in the 2025 Super Bowl early next month.)

Pennsylvania native Viscount was invited to watch the game from Kelce’s suite alongside her fiancée, Craig Parmenter, who previously played college football with the 35-year-old tight end. They flew to Kansas City on a private jet with Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, who also lives in Philadelphia.

“I’ll cry right now just thinking about it,” Viscount recalled to the Delaware News Journal on Wednesday, January 29. “It all kind of hit me. And then, all day, I was just giggling every once in a while because it all seems so surreal.”

When Viscount and Parmenter arrived in the private suite, Swift immediately greeted them with a “Hi, I’m Taylor” before inquiring about Travis’ college days. Parmenter was one of Travis’ roommates at the University of Cincinnati, the school that Jason, 37, also attended.

According to Viscount, Swift said she wanted to take a group photo with Travis’ lifelong friends before offering to take additional snaps with anyone else in the box. Viscount, without mentioning her lifelong Swiftie fandom, took the Grammy winner up on the offer.

“She waited for me to fumble around with my phone, very graciously, and then she kissed me on my cheek,” Viscount recalled. “I will probably never wash my face again.”

Later that evening, Viscount told Jason that it was the “best day of [her] life.”

The Chiefs won Sunday’s game, which Swift marked by celebrating with Travis on the field alongside his mother, Donna Kelce. Afterward, they reunited with all of his pals in the suite.

The Royal Family: Get to Know the Next Generation

29 January 2025 at 08:13

The British royal family just keeps growing — and with each new arrival, Queen Elizabeth II’s legacy continues.

The late monarch welcomed eight grandchildren before her death at age 96 in September 2022. While many royal fans know that generation, which includes Prince William and Prince Harry, it’s the queen’s great-grandchildren that still have Us oohing and awing today.

Elizabeth’s first great-grandchild, Savannah Anne Kathleen, was born in December 2010 to her daughter Anne, Princess Royal’s son, Peter Phillips, and his now-ex wife, Autumn. The eldest of the royal family’s youngest generation became a big sister in March 2012 when Isla Elizabeth joined the family.

Then came Prince George in July 2013! The firstborn son of William and his wife, Princess Kate, had the entire world wrapped around his finger from the moment he arrived. At the time, the queen’s first great-grandson, George, became third in line for the throne. He moved up to second in line when his grandfather King Charles III ascended the throne in fall 2022.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge welcomed their third child, son Louis Arthur Charles, in the Lindo Wing at St. Mary’s Hospital in London — where both his siblings were delivered — in April 2018. The prince made his debut on the same day as his birth, when his parents took him out onto the steps of the hospital.
