Bradley Cooper brought his daughter as his cheering squad while rooting for the Philadelphia Eagles at the NFC Championship.

Cooper, 50, walked hand-in-hand with his 7-year-old daughter, Lea, as they stepped out at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on Sunday, January 26. In a video shared via the NFL’s official Instagram account, Cooper gave a thumbs-up to the crowd and waved as the audience erupted into cheers.

“Bradley Cooper in the house to watch his birds,” text over the video read, while the NFL wrote in the caption, “Lifelong Eagles fan.”

Cooper and Lea were both decked out in Eagles merchandise, with him sporting a green hat and her rocking a green and white varsity jacket. (Cooper shares his daughter with ex Irina Shayk.)

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid Cheer on Philadelphia Eagles at NFL Playoffs

The Eagles took on the Washington Commanders on Sunday for a spot in the 2025 Super Bowl, while the Kansas City Chiefs prepared to face off against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Championship hours later. The winners of both games will compete in the Super Bowl at New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome on February 9.

Cooper was spotted one week earlier at the NFL team’s game against the Los Angeles Rams in Philadelphia with his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid. The pair were seen screaming in excitement as they rooted for the home team.

Cooper, a longtime Eagles fan, was born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia and famously played Pat Solitano in 2012’s Silver Linings Playbook. (Cooper earned an Oscar nomination for his role.)

Hadid’s mom, meanwhile, owns a farm in Pennsylvania. (Us Weekly confirmed in December 2023 that Cooper purchased a home close to the farm, but an insider said that his purchase “has nothing to do with Gigi or her family.”)

Bradley Cooper and Gigi Hadid’s Relationship Timeline

Cooper and Hadid sparked romance rumors in October 2023 after they were photographed together in New York City. A source exclusively told Us at the time that Cooper and Hadid “have a lot in common” including being single parents. (Hadid is mom to daughter Khai, 4, with whom she welcomed with Zayn Malik.)

Cooper and Hadid have since made several appearances together, including traveling for pal Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in May 2024. After Cooper was absent from the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in October 2024, Hadid made a rare comment about their relationship.

“He’s watching from home tonight,” she told Entertainment Tonight at the time. “He is on dad duty.”

Brittany Cartwright Uses 36th Birthday Party to Raise Funds for L.A. Fires

The Valley star Brittany Cartwright welcomed her 36th trip around the sun with open arms.

“It’s no secret that the past year has been incredibly tough for me,” Cartwright, 36, exclusively told Us Weekly on Sunday, January 26. “I feel like I’m starting my 36th year almost as a new me in a way, and so I decided to throw myself a little birthday celebration with some of my closest friends.”

Some of Brittany’s “closest friends,” of course, include Kristen Doute and her fiancé Luke Broderick — who are expecting their first child together — as well as Nia Sanchez, Janet Caperna, Zack Wickman, Jasmine Goode, Melissa Marie, Scheana Shay, Lala Kent and Tom Schwartz.

“I asked everyone to make a donation in honor of the Los Angeles wildfires instead of bringing a gift,” Brittany told Us. “So all the funds we raised are going towards the American Red Cross Fire Relief. I also have another really exciting initiative I’m working on to raise funds for the people affected by the fires here in L.A. that will be announced soon.”

Earlier this month, numerous wildfires tore through the greater Los Angeles area, devastating neighborhoods including the Palisades and Eaton. To date, the fires have destroyed more than 12,000 structures and killed at least 27 people. As many as 200,000 residents were forced to flee their homes in order to escape the flames.

Many celebrities, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Spencer Pratt and more, either lost their homes or were forced to evacuate.

In addition to raising funds for the ongoing L.A. wildfire relief efforts, Brittany is focusing on a new year as she says goodbye to a tumultuous 2024. The reality television star celebrated her birthday exactly one week after her and her estranged husband, Jax Taylor, separated and she moved into an Airbnb. The party, which was planned, designed and styled by Picnic + Petal, took place at Brittany’s house.

In October 2024, Brittany gave Us an exclusive update on her relationship with Jax and how she is navigating the couple’s very public divorce.

“I’m trying to just like, you know, focus on my son and he is, like, the light of my life,” Cartwright told Us at the time. “We’re having so much fun together. And it’s a lot, but I’m just smiling my way through it all.”

Justin Baldoni’s sister is singing his praises amid his ongoing legal drama with his It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.

“Happy birthday JB, I love you and I celebrate you – the man you are, the love you embody, the strength of your connection to God, the essence of your being, your dedication to truth, to service and to love – today and all days,” Baldoni’s sister, Sara, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, January 25. “I am so proud to call you my big brother and annoyingly squeeze the hell out of you until the end of time. Xx.”

Alongside the message, Sara shared a snap of her and Baldoni, 41, sweetly embracing as they smiled for the camera.

Sara’s upload comes one day after his mom, Sharon, celebrated him while sharing set photos from his time on Jane The Virgin. (Baldoni starred as Rafael in the CW drama, which aired for five seasons from 2014 to 2019.)

Justin Baldoni’s Mom Tells Him to ‘Keep Your Integrity' Amid Legal Battle

“Happy Birthday Justin ~ remembering a wonderful moment after the final ending of Jane The Virgin,” Sharon wrote via Instagram on Friday, January 24. “[It was] a moment where joy and love permeated the set, where friendships and family were born and kindness and integrity permeated the hearts of all the actors and crew, where sadness only entered because it was the final scene of a wonderful journey ~ and the beginning of the rest of our lives.”

Sharon noted that the 2019 series finale of Jane The Virgin was marked by a “happy, loving and generous memory with hearts exploding with possibilities.”

“Life has its moments and also its surprises — as you keep your integrity through it all justice and truth will shine today and into eternity,” Sharon concluded. “I love you more than you will ever know! Happy Birthday, my beautiful boy! May God continue to bless you in truth.”

The tributes come amid Baldoni’s public legal battle against Lively. Months after speculation swirled of a rift between the pair on the set of It Ends With Us, Lively sued Baldoni for sexual harassment in December 2024. He denied the allegations and fired back with his own $400 million lawsuit against Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, as well as her publicist, Leslie Sloane.

Amid the ongoing drama, Baldoni has been spending time with his family. “We’re grateful to be with the family, man,” he told photographers on January 17 in footage obtained by TMZ. “We have amazing friends and family and faith.”

Everything Erika Jayne Has Said About Her Son Tommy Zizzo Jr.

While Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Erika Jayne has purposefully kept her son, Tommy Zizzo Jr., out of the spotlight, she has some of the sweetest things to say about him.

“My son and I, we’ve really come together,” Jayne, 53, said of her son in 2020, after experiencing legal and financial troubles following her split from Tom Girardi. “He’ll be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York being pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective, and it’s really nice.”

Jayne shares Tommy — a Los Angeles police officer — with her ex-husband Thomas Zizzo. The pair divorced in 1992, shortly after Tommy was born.

Erika Jayne Says Discussing Tom Girardi Feels Like ‘Cutting Open’ a Wound

In 2025, Tommy made headlines after he testified at A$AP Rocky’s assault trial. Rocky, 36, faces two counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm relating to a 2021 shooting incident. He is accused of firing two shots at Terell Ephron, a childhood friend and former collaborator.

Zizzo was one of the first officers to respond to the scene. Rocky has pleaded guilty and denied all allegations against him.

Jayne has admitted that she keeps her son out of the spotlight “out of respect for his privacy as a police officer. Keep scrolling for everything she’s said about her son.

He’s Supportive of Her

After she separated from her ex-husband Girardi in November 2020, Jayne revealed that both her former husband Zizzo and her son have supported her through her own legal and financial ups and downs. “People don’t understand this, but we’re actually pretty tight,” she said of the pair. “They have been very supportive of me, and I’m very grateful.”

She added that the separation helped her become closer to Tommy. “My son and I, we’ve really come together. He’ll be 30 in June. Jesus. I just remember walking around here in New York being pregnant with him, but he’ll be 30. And so asking him what he thinks about things, you know, you get this adult perspective, and it’s really nice.”

They Look Alike

Earlier in 2020, Jayne shared a rare photo of her son on social media along with the caption, “People say we look alike.”

She’s Defensive of Him

Zizzo’s job as a police officer has drawn the ire of some people on social media. After one person tweeted that he should be shot in February 2019, Jayne fired back, “This is disgusting.”

After a commenter again attacked Zizzio for his profession in 2020, Jayne insisted her son is a great cop (and person). “My son was brought up NOT to be racist,” Jayne, who is from Georgia, wrote in response. “His job is to protect and serve ALL not just people that have his skin color. F–k you and stay off my page.”

RHOBH's Erika Jayne Learned to Be Own ‘Safety Net’ After Tom Girardi Split

She Says She’s Been a Good Mom

Though Jayne has admitted she wasn’t a great wife, in her 2018 book Pretty Mess she insisted she was a good mom. “I knew I was a good mom. I thought I was adult enough to be a wife and a mother, but really I wasn’t,” she wrote. “Tommy bore the brunt of that. It was this constant pressure and it was hard for both of us to take. We broke up when my son was a little more than 18 months old. I came out of a divorced home. I did what I knew, which was to take my son and leave.”

Taylor Swift Attends Travis Kelce’s Chiefs vs. Bills AFC Championship Game

Taylor Swift showed her support for Travis Kelce and the Kansas City Chiefs as they faced the Buffalo Bills in the 2025 AFC Championship Game on Sunday, January 26.

The pop star, 35, was spotted at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, as the tight end, also 35, and his teammates hit the field. Swift stunned in an oversized Louis Vuitton sweatshirt over a black miniskirt and red tights, arriving with mom Andrea.

The AFC Championship Game will determine whether the Chiefs or the Bills advance to Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on February 9. Earlier on Sunday, the Washington Commanders and the Philadelphia Eagles faced off in the NFC Championship Game for a spot in the upcoming Super Bowl.

Last weekend, Swift was in attendance as Kelce and the Chiefs began their playoff run at Arrowhead Stadium after clinching the No. 1 seed in the AFC, which earned them a bye week for the wild card round. In the January 18 divisional playoff game, the Chiefs overcame the Houston Texans with a final score of 23-14.

Swift was joined by her family — mom Andrea, dad Scott and brother Austin — and WNBA star Caitlin Clark in a private suite for the divisional playoff game. Swift was spotted celebrating after Kelce scored a touchdown, hitting her hand on the glass window of the suite and bobbing her head. She also hugged Clark, 23, and grabbed Kelce’s father Ed’s hand after the big play.

 

This is Swift’s second year by Kelce’s side throughout the playoffs. When the Chiefs took on the Bills in the divisional round in January 2024, Swift got the opportunity to spend time with Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and sister-in-law, Kylie Kelce, for the first time.

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

After their interactions in the suite at Highmark Stadium in Orchard Park, New York, went viral, Travis told Jason, 37, during an episode of their “New Heights” podcast, “Tay said she absolutely loved you.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

Swift notably shared a special moment with Travis after the 2024 AFC Championship Game, joining him on the field for the first time to congratulate him on the Chiefs’ victory against the Baltimore Ravens. The couple, who have been dating since the summer of 2023, hugged and kissed as they enjoyed the triumph alongside Travis’ teammates and family.

The Chiefs went all the way to the Super Bowl last season, ultimately defeating the San Francisco 49ers in February 2024 to win their second consecutive title. The Chiefs have been vocal about their hopes for a three-peat, which would make them the first team in NFL history to win three Super Bowls in a row.

In October 2024, Swift performed three sold-out shows at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, with some fans speculating that she blessed the stadium where the 2025 Super Bowl will be played. During each concert at the venue, she made a nod to Travis as she mimicked throwing a football, mouthed “touchdown” and copied Travis’ first-down hand gesture before kissing three fingers and holding them up.

Ricki Lake shared a heartwarming update after her home and several irreplaceable mementos were destroyed in the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

“One of the things I lost, among everything I lost, but one of the things that really was so painful for me [was] I lost my birth videos, my pictures, my album of my home birth to my son,” Lake, 56, said in a video shared via Instagram on Sunday, January 26.

Lake shares sons Milo, 27, and Owen, 23, with ex husband Rob Sussman. Owen’s 2001 water birth was the subject of Lake’s 2008 documentary The Business of Being Born.

“I consider it my most meaningful piece of work I’ve done in my 37-year career, but it’s very personal,” she explained. “It was on my own money, it was my own experience, and when I had my son, I had pictures during that birth. It was a beautiful album. It was really important to me.”

Lake went on to say that one of the doulas present at the birth, Jennifer Lickson, had reached out to her on Facebook saying she had copies of the photos from 2001.

“She reached out and offered to make copies of the photos of my birth,” Lake wrote in the video’s caption. “One of the many priceless things I lost in the fire. I am so deeply moved by this kind gesture. ❤️‍🩹💔🙏❤.”

In the video, Lake noted, “I haven’t talked to [Lickson] in years, but she reached out and sent me a message that she saw I lost my house.” She added, “It’s like the nicest thing anyone’s ever done for me. I can’t believe that I’m going to be able to have those back.

Lake’s Malibu home was destroyed by the Pacific Palisades wildfire on January 7. She and husband Ross Burmingham evacuated their home after exhausting all efforts to save it. She is one of several celebrities— including Paris Hilton, Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt, among others — who have lost their homes as a result of the ongoing fires.

Celebrities Share Personal Photos of Heartbreaking Los Angeles Wildfires

“Grateful to have made it out alive and uninjured. Forever grateful to @kirbykotler_ our absolute angel,” Lake wrote via Instagram at the time. “He did everything to try to save our precious property. No doubt had we stayed, we would not have survived. Sharing for all who have been asking. Thank you for the love and well wishes.”

She added, “Again, please pray for those impacted by this catastrophic event and help if you are able.”

Idris Elba is recalling how he prepared to play Nelson Mandela in the 2013 film Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom.

“In 2013, when I was preparing to play Nelson Mandela in the film Long Walk to Freedom, I spent the night in a prison cell on Robben Island, 12 km outside Cape Town, where Mandela was imprisoned from 1964 to 1982,” Elba, 52, wrote in a Sunday, January 26, article for The Sunday Times.

He continued, “I’d been given the incredible honour to portray this great man and up until that night, I hadn’t quite grasped the significance of having over 20 years of life stolen from him. I had to persuade the authorities to let me stay there, and they finally agreed.”

Elba explained that the place “holds a lot of bad memories” and is “definitely haunted,” adding that he “heard strange noises throughout the night” even though he was “the only person there.”

“I had a bucket, a thin mattress and a blanket; they kept the lights on because that’s what they used to do and I didn’t sleep much,” Elba recalled. “It was a scary experience, but it definitely gave me a stronger connection to Mandela.”

The biopic chronicled Mandela’s life journey, including spending 27 years in prison before serving as the first Black president of South Africa from 1994 to 1999.

Mandela died in 2013 at the age of 95. The news of his death was formally announced when the credits rolled during the London premiere of Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom. The entire auditorium held a two-minute moment of silence at the end of the film. After the screening, the audience applauded and gave a standing ovation.

When the movie was released in 2013, Elba recalled being nervous to show the film to a South African audience.

“In South Africa, they were very silent and I wondered what that was about,” he recalled, per Variety. “I thought maybe they didn’t like it, but they were just absorbing. You’ve got to remember, the whole freedom struggle in South Africa is about 25 years old. When we got there, the reaction was real.”

Producer Anant Singh also showed a scene of the movie to Mandela and shared his reaction to seeing Elba. “He saw Idris Elba as the old Mandela in the Mandela prosthetics and he says, ‘Is that me?’” he said, per the outlet. “And it was very cute and he smiled and laughed, so it was very good.”
