Travis Kelce Responds to Lil Wayne's Claim the Chiefs Are Cheaters

Travis Kelce responded after Lil Wayne aired his beef with the “cheating” Kansas City Chiefs on social media. 

During the Chiefs’ NFL Divisional playoff game against the Houston Texans on Saturday, January 18, Wayne, 42, took to X and let his feelings about Kelce’s squad be known. 

“I hate the cheating azz chiefs,” the rapper wrote

In a follow-up post, Wayne added, “It’s not even impressive when u cheat and then clearly try to cheat. Just win baby.”

Patrick Mahomes Says AFC Title Game Could Be Travis Kelce's 'Last' in KC

The rapper — who is a notoriously huge football fan and a diehard supporter of the Green Bay Packers, in particular — was referring to a narrative that has followed the Chiefs all season: that NFL referees are giving preferential treatment to the two-time defending Super Bowl champions. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was also accused of unsuccessfully trying to sell a roughing the passer penalty by flopping on the sideline during the game’s fourth quarter. 

On the Wednesday, January 21 episode of their “New Heights” podcast, Travis and his brother, Jason Kelce, addressed the controversy head-on. 

“The whole world was talking about something else during the game, and I’m sure you saw some of this, but they were complaining about the refs again, Trav,” Jason said. 

On the podcast, Jason, 37, read Wayne’s post aloud and razzed him for his spelling. “Spelling ass with two z’s,” he joked. 

“Shoutout to Tunechi, man,” Travis, 35, said, referencing Wayne’s nickname. 

Jason then read a post made in response to Wayne, which defended Kelce and the Chiefs against the cheating accusations. 

“Literally folks will see s— like this and say, ‘Yup just like I thought. Refs vs. Texans,’” Jason said. “Bro the Texans left the all time leading playoffs receiver wide booty butt nekkid open for 4 quarters and yet the Chiefs needed those calls.”

Travis laughed hysterically and said, “They did. They left me butt naked open.”

The tight end had 117 receiving yards and a touchdown in the 23-14 victory over the Texans, which earned them a trip to the AFC Championship Game against the Buffalo Bills. 

When asked to give his own response to the officiating in the game, namely two controversial roughing the passer calls against the Texans, Travis chose to “plead the fifth.”

Mahomes, 29, addressed the officiating controversy during an interview with 96.5 The Fan on Tuesday, January 21. 

“I‘ve kind of learned that no matter what happens during the game, that something’s going to come out about it if you win and you continue to win, so I don’t really pay attention to it,” Mahomes said. “I mean, obviously I’ve been on both sides of it as far as how I felt the calls were made, but at the end of the day, man, those guys are doing their best to make the best calls and keep it to where the players are making the plays in the game. And that’s what decides the outcome.”

He added, “And obviously there was a call here or there that people didn’t agree with, but at the same time, I think there was a lot of other plays that really decided the outcome of that football game.”

As for the allegations of flopping, Mahomes acknowledged that those had some credence. 

“I would say that the only one I felt like I probably did too much was the one on the sideline where I didn’t get a flag and the ref saw it and didn’t throw a flag, and I understood it immediately, and know that I probably shouldn’t have done that,” Mahomes said.

The Chiefs face the Bills in the AFC Championship Game which airs on CBS Sunday, January 26, at 6:30 pm ET.

Kelsea Ballerini is just like Us — stress can cause her skin to break out.

Ballerini, 31, took to Instagram on Tuesday, January 21, to share the relatable rash she got hours before taking the stage for her first concert on her Kelsea Ballerini Live on Tour. “Happy show day, I have a stress rash,” she said, pointing at red dots formed on her cheeks. “That’s how you know it’s gonna be a good show!” The country music star laughed. “See you tonight.”

Ballerini went makeup free in the clip, giving fans a full look at the rash. Her blonde hair was parted to the side and still wet from showering.

The “Cowboys Cry Too” singer also teased moments from her first stop in Grand Rapids, Michigan, including a snap of her tossing a voluminous boa into the air to reveal her figure-hugging costume.

Another barely-there look included a chain dress adorned with red beads. Ballerini made the heavy metal moment even more fabulous with nude fishnets layered underneath shimmery stockings, plus knee-high boots for sexy good measure.

Ballerini further stepped up the sparkle with pink glittery shadow brushed across her lids. The rest of her eye makeup featured a terracotta shade blended to her brow bone and strategically swept along her waterline and long lashes. She tied her glam together with pink lined lips, rosy cheeks and filled-in eyebrows. Her platinum blonde hair was styled in messy — but chic — waves.

Another one of her sultry costumes commanded attention with cutouts across her chest and torso, crystal-embellished hearts and fitted pants that hugged her curves.

“Giving very much good girl with a little rage,” Ballerini captioned the post.

Benedict Cumberbatch Claims He Was Once Abducted and Held Hostage

Benedict Cumberbatch Reveals Life Lessons From Allegedly Being Held Captive

Benedict Cumberbatch was fundamentally changed after he was the victim of an alleged robbery and abduction.

“It gave me a sense of time, but not necessarily a good one,” Cumberbatch, 48, told Variety in a profile published on Wednesday, January 22. “It made me impatient to live a life less ordinary, and I’m still dealing with that impatience.”

The actor was filming BBC’s To The Ends of the Earth in South Africa in 2004 when he went on a diving excursion with a group of friends. Their tire blew out on the way home, leading the group to pull over on the side of the road. They were then allegedly robbed and abducted by six men. According to Variety, Cumberbatch and his acquaintances were forced into a vehicle and driven around for hours.

The suspects eventually let Cumberbatch and his peers out of the car, making them sit execution-style with their hands tied up. The group was still seated as the assailants fled. Cumberbatch, for his part, was in his early 20s at the time.

James Lafferty Was Ready to Quit Acting Before ‘One Tree Hill’

Upon his eventual release, Cumberbatch became an adrenaline junkie.

“The near-death stuff turbo-fueled all that. It made me go, ‘Oh, right, yeah, I could die at any moment,’” he recalled to the outlet. “I was throwing myself out of planes, taking all sorts of risks. But apart from my parents, I didn’t have any real dependents at that point. Now that’s changed, and that sobers you. I’ve looked over the edge; it’s made me comfortable with what lies beneath it. And I’ve accepted that that’s the end of all our stories.”

Ten years later in 2015, Cumberbatch married Sophie Hunter before they went on to welcome three sons.

Marvel Stars' Dating Histories Through the Years

“The minute you have kids this sense of time sinks in far more profoundly,” Cumberbatch told Variety. “My youngest is turning 6 tomorrow, and I’m like, ‘I will be in my 60s when he’s 21,’ you know? It’s crazy. It’s gone so fast. So there’s a huge shift in priorities, and it makes you value what you do with your life in a very different way.”

He added, “It does weigh on me. When you become a parent, your thoughts turn more towards mortality.”

Parenthood has also inspired Cumberbatch to continue taking risks in his acting career.

“There’s nothing wrong with saying, ‘I really want to try to craft something together.’ It’s all about perception,” the Doctor Stranger star said. “It’s about becoming comfortable saying, ‘I’m an artist rather than, you know, a bit of meat for hire.’ After all, time is running out.”

Fine Lines Look Smoother Overnight Thanks to This $15 Skin-Plumping Mask

The best face masks improve hydration and target a laundry list of skincare concerns, ranging from treating signs of aging to enhancing collagen production. But many don’t peel off easily, leaving a mess behind, while others are also a pain to sleep in, slipping right off as soon as you’re comfy in bed. These days, however, you don’t have to settle for a face mask that under-delivers. Instead, try the Medicube Collagen Overnight Wrapping Peel-Off Facial Mask Pack, a pick that’s currently discounted — and flying off the shelves.

The Most Hydrating Mask To Eliminate Tired, Dry Looking Skin

This face mask enhances your skin’s elasticity with a powerful formula that includes a ceramide NP for hydration, collagen extract to increase elasticity and, finally, adenosine, which helps reduce fine lines. Plus, while similar masks tend to crack quickly or are a pain to remove, Medicube’s peel-off version actually comes off in one piece and doesn’t require you to peel it off in a million tiny parts. Shoppers also report that it doesn’t get stuck in your hair (a true win) and that when you remove the mask, your skin feels fresh, clean and plump.

“Wow! This stuff is amazing,” an additional reviewer shared. “My skin is still feeling supple and looks glassy over 24 hours later! It was so easy to put on. I just put a really thin layer and it still had no problem peeling. I was worried my skin would be crackly and uncomfortable, but it was so easy to sleep in and stayed on my face. Very easy to peel off in the morning.”

On January 22, Prince Harry reached a settlement with Rupert Murdoch’s News Group Newspapers before their trial began.

The settlement included an eight-figure payout and a public apology admitting legal wrongdoings from 1996 to 2011.

In the apology, NGN admitted to “phone hacking, surveillance and misuse of private information by journalists and private investigators.”

The apology also acknowledged further violations of privacy against Prince Harry and his late mother, Princess Diana.

Princess Diana died in August 1997 during a car accident while being followed by photographers.

“NGN further apologises to the Duke for the impact on him of the extensive coverage and serious intrusion into his private life as well as the private life of Diana, Princess of Wales, his late mother, in particular during his younger years,” the apology reads, in part.

“We acknowledge and apologise for the distress caused to the Duke, and the damage inflicted on relationships, friendships and family, and have agreed to pay him substantial damages.”

Now, Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, has shared a statement of his own on Instagram following the settlement.

“It takes an enormous amount of guts to take on major media organisations like this, and incredible tenacity to win against them,” Charles wrote alongside a screenshot of a BBC headline noting the “substantial damages” Harry will be paid.

“It’s wonderful that Harry also secured an apology for his mother,” Charles continued, “she would be immensely touched by this, I’m sure, and also rightly proud.”

“Well done indeed,” he concluded the statement.

Brynn Whitfield Breaks Her Silence on 'RHONY' Finale: Everything We Learned

Brynn Whitfield Breaks Her Silence on RHONY Finale Everything We Learned

Brynn Whitfield is ready to reflect on The Real Housewives of New York City’s dark season 15 finale.

During the Tuesday, January 21, episode, fans watched the cast end their Puerto Rico vacation with a massive fight between Brynn, 39, and costar Ubah Hassan.

Brynn was originally upset that Ubah, 41, accused her of sleeping with someone to get hired on the Bravo reality show. The claim hurt even more after Brynn said she privately revealed to Ubah that she had been sexually assaulted.

Ubah immediately denied knowing about Brynn’s experience, leaving the cast trying to separate both parties on their last night of vacation.

A History of Real Housewives Skipping the Reunion — and the Consequences

While the ladies will come together for a two-part reunion show, kicking off Tuesday, January 28, Brynn is already speaking out in a brand-new interview with Rolling Stone.

The Real Housewives of New York City airs on Bravo Tuesdays at 9 p.m. ET, with old episodes streaming on Peacock. Keep reading to see everything we learned about the shocking season:

Brynn Whitfield Stands by Her Conversation With Ubah Hassan

During the January 22 episode of RHONY, Brynn told her costars that it’s possible Ubah didn’t “clock it,” in regards to hearing her sexual assault revelation.

In her latest interview, however, Brynn assured fans that she revealed personal details to her costar.

“It’s not right to assume that everyone remembers everything that you say all the time and then hold them accountable for that,” Brynn explained to the publication. “I know for a fact that I said it, but when someone’s screaming into the phone, the other person might not necessarily hear them. … I know what I said and I know that I did say it.”

Brynn Whitfield Reacts to Her Costars’ Support for Ubah Hassan

When watching the finale, Brynn was surprised to see her cast accusing her of intentionally lying.

“That was shocking,” she shared. “You’re telling me that in the three minutes from when I’m called horrible names [by Ubah] and I’m obviously upset that I somehow devised a plan? It’s disgusting that I’m talking about two things that I would hope that no woman or person would have to experience — suicide and sexual assault — and everyone’s like, ‘Brynn, we feel taken advantage of.’ Maybe don’t use those words to describe the situation. I just feel like I wasn’t shown much [respect].”

Why Brynn Whitfield Shared Her Sexual Assault Experience

Before heading to Puerto Rico, Brynn sat down with her brother, Daris, in Central Park to open up about how her past sexual assault has prevented her from being focused more on dating.

“I filmed with my brother and I shared the connection between that and why I’m kind of dodging dating, and why I make jokes about only dating billionaires,” she told RS. “I thought sharing was going to help me feel better.”

Where Does Brynn Whitfield Stand With the Cast Today?

While viewers will have to watch the two-part reunion to see how Brynn interacts with her costars, the marketing consultant believes she’s in a good place with some of the ladies including Jenna Lyons, Raquel Chevremont and Erin Lichy. (Erin, however, said via Instagram she hasn’t seen or spoken to Brynn in “months.”)

Brynn’s friendships with Sai De Silva, Jessel Taank and Ubah also need some work. “With Ubah, I think what’s done is done,” she said. “I feel like we will get back. But it takes time to repair.”

Will Brynn Whitfield Return to ‘RHONY’ After Season 15?

Although no decisions have been made about season 16, Brynn said she won’t know anything official until a month before filming begins again.

“You don’t know if you’re renewed, you don’t know who comes back or any of these things,” she said. “But I feel like with this show, it’s not our show or my show. It’s a little bit of the women who came before us and whoever comes after us.”

Billy Ray Cyrus enjoyed performing at the inaugural Liberty Ball — no matter what critics had to say.

“This was the most fun part of the Liberty Ball! And if you didn’t see it … you just had to be there,” Cyrus, 63, wrote via Instagram on Wednesday, January 22, sharing footage from Fox News’ broadcast of the event before quoting his song “Achy Breaky Heart,” adding, “‘I just don’t think you understand.’”

Cyrus headlined the Liberty Ball on Monday, January 20, which was one of the celebratory parties in honor of President Donald Trump taking his oath to become the 47th commander in chief.

He concluded his set with an acoustic rendition of his 1992 hit “Achy Breaky Heart” after technical difficulties.

Everyone Performing at Donald Trump's Presidential Inauguration

“Check? Is anybody awake? Y’all want me to sing more or you want me to just get the hell off the stage?” he said during the broadcast. “In life, when you have technical difficulties, you just gotta keep going or as President Trump would say, ‘You gotta fight.’”

Cyrus was among the star-studded musicians tapped to perform at one of the inauguration celebrations, previously clapping back at backlash.

“I wouldn’t have missed the honor of playing this event whether my microphone, guitar and monitors worked or not,” he said in a statement to People on Tuesday, January 21. “I was there because President Donald J. Trump invited me. I had a ball at the Liberty Ball last night.”

He added, “I’ve learned through all these years when the producer says, ‘You’re on,’ you go entertain the folks even if the equipment goes to hell. I was there for the people and we had a blast. That’s called rock n roll!!!”

Jason Aldean Reacts to Carrie Underwood’s Inauguration Performance

Other performers throughout the inauguration events included Carrie Underwood, Christopher Macchio, Lee Greenwood, Jason Aldean, Gavin DeGraw, Rascal Flatts, Parker McCollum, Kid Rock, the Village People and the Liberty University Praise Choir.

Underwood, 41, also defended accepting the inaugural invitation.

“I love our country & am honored to have been asked to sing at the Inauguration and to be a small part of this historic event,” she said in a statement earlier this month. “I am humbled to answer the call at a time when we must all come together in the spirit of unity and looking to the future.”

Underwood belted “America the Beautiful” a cappella following Trump’s inaugural address after technical difficulties.

“If you know the words, help me out here,” she said at the time.

The American Idol judge was initially slated to be accompanied by the Armed Forces Chorus and the United States Naval Academy Glee Club.

Kendall Jenner’s winter wardrobe is giving Us major aprés ski style inspo.

Kendall, 29, showed off a snowy outfit during her trip to Aspen with Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber via Instagram on Wednesday, January 22. Kendall made her icy adventure — which was possibly inspired by the one and only Audrey Hepburn in the 1963 film, Charade — glamorous with a brown fur hat that complimented her brunette bob and a fit-and-flare black coat featuring wide lapels, two black buttons at her waist and an A-line skirt.

The model kept warm in a black mock-neck sweater and Commando Neoprene leggings ($138). For accessories, Kendall mixed fashion and function with a spacious brown leather Idaho bag from The Row and black knee-high leather boots by Ann Demeulemeester.

Kendall is known to elevate her outfits Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s luxury label, The Row, previously telling Harper’s Bazaar that the brand was an “obvious” choice to carry around during a ski trip.

This isn’t the first time Bieber and Kendall have skipped town together in OTT style. Last January, the BFFs jetted off to a tropical destination and showed off their killer beach bodies and packed a vacay-ready wardrobe to match. In one pic, Kendall wowed in a sheer dress with a plunging neckline and a cutout detail that flashed her abs. Bieber also opted for a breezy white dress while frolicking in the sand and watching the sunset. The ladies can clearly slay any style — in the sunshine or snow.

Alison Brie Recalls Working With Aubrey Plaza's Late Husband Jeff Baena

Alison Brie is recalling the amazing experience she had with Aubrey Plaza’s late husband, filmmaker Jeff Baena, just weeks after his unexpected death.

“He wanted us to have a whole experience that wasn’t just what was on camera,” Brie, 42, told Alex Ross Perry in a story for Vanity Fair, published Wednesday, January 22. “When I think about our two trips to Italy for The Little Hours and Spin Me Round, the social side of it was equal if not more important. Really wanting to bring people out.”

Baena died by suicide on January 3. He was 47.

Perry, also a filmmaker, explained that Baena found “a sense of community” in all aspects of his personality. He wrote about Basketball Jeff, Game Night Jeff and Movie Lover Jeff, adding that he knew some versions of Baena well, while he needed to talk to his friends — like Brie — to learn more about the others.

Celebrities Voice Support for Aubrey Plaza After Husband’s Death

Brie worked with Baena on four films, with the two cowriting and producing Horse Girl and Spin Me Round together.

She added that Baena differed from others, who would clock in and out, then move on. For Baena, what happened off camera was just as important as what was on camera.

“There was a magic about working with Jeff — he could sell people on this magic artistic situation,” she continued. “It wasn’t about, ‘Let’s see if this person can act this role.’ It was about, ‘Let’s get a great collection of people and hang with them.’”

Brie posted a tribute of her own to her social media account after Baena’s death, sharing a series of photos of the pair together with a broken heart emoji.

“Rest in peace, my friend,” she wrote via her Instagram Stories at the time.

Revisiting Late Director Jeff Baena's Film Career and Stars He Worked With

The Glow actress recalled in a 2022 interview with Collider how she and her husband, Dave Franco, lived near Baena and Plaza, 40. Brie explained how their friendship grew before they worked together on Horse Girl.

“Dave and I lived quite close to Jeff and Aubrey. Jeff and I started hiking together pretty regularly, just as buddies, and during these long hikes, we would talk about different ideas,” Brie said. “Eventually, I felt comfortable enough with him to talk to him about my idea for Horse Girl, which we co-wrote and co-produced together. That was such a good experience.”

After Horse Girl, Brie and Baena worked on romantic comedy Spin Me Round, which Brie starred in alongside Plaza.

Heath Ledger’s 5 Most Memorable Movie Roles

Heath Ledgers 5 Most Memorable Movie Roles
J. Vespa/WireImage

While Heath Ledger is no longer with Us, his spirit, sense of humor and sweet grin still live on in his movie roles.

Ledger rose to fame in the late ‘90s and early 2000s following his breakout performance in 10 Things About You. Following the beloved rom-com, the actor went on to snag supporting film roles in The Patriot, A Knight’s Tale and more.

In 2006, Ledger garnered critical acclaim for his portrayal of Ennis Del Mar in Brokeback Mountain, which earned him an Academy Award nomination. The actor didn’t slow down after that as he went on to star in The Dark Knight as the villainous Joker.

Months before The Dark Knight premiered, Ledger died of an accidental overdose of prescription drugs in his NYC apartment in January 2008. He was survived by daughter Matilda, whom he welcomed with actress Michelle Williams in October 2005.

Keep scrolling to see Ledger’s top 5 most memorable film characters below:

’10 Things I Hate About You’ (1999)

The romantic comedy turned out to be Ledger’s breakout role on the big screen. Playing tough as nails Patrick Verona (but oh, what a softy!) the hunk starred in the fan favorite alongside Julia Stiles, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Larisa Oleynik. “He was so nice. He was such a force,” Stiles told Us of her late costar in November 2014. “Even at that age a very powerful, lovely human being.”

‘The Patriot’ (2000)

What a tearjerker. With the success of 10 Things I Hate About You under his belt, Ledger played Mel Gibson’s on-screen son a year later. The actor, who played Gabriel Martin, proved that he could also become a scene stealer in an action drama. “Maybe I could have called him,” Gibson told The Guardian in February in 2009, following Ledger’s death. “When you see sort of an impending tragedy or something that might go wrong, it just felt like I should do something about it.”

‘A Knight’s Tale’ (2001)

Still a dreamboat! Ledger laced up to portray peasant squire William Thatcher (horse-riding and jousting extraordinaire!) in the adventure flick. Following its release, he also became one of the hottest sought after actors in Hollywood. “To tell you the truth I don’t think about it and I don’t dwell on it,” he told Cinema.com at the time. “I just show up for work and live my normal life.”

‘Brokeback Mountain’ (2005)

Ledger starred in the powerful romance drama opposite his good friend Jake Gyllenhaal, who later was named Matilda’s godfather. The Ang Lee-directed movie, which also starred Williams, centered on a forbidden relationship between two cowboys.

The Christopher Nolan-directed film was the last movie Ledger would complete in its entirety. (He was still filming 2009’s The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus when he passed; Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell, and Jude Law later stepped in for him.) Ledger’s petrifying portrayal of The Joker won him an Oscar in the Best Supporting category. As most fans will know, it was fun to see Ledger and Levitt go from high school students in 10 Things I Hate About You, to DC Comics characters. Levitt later played Robin in 2012’s The Dark Knight Rises.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Ask Court to Silence Justin Baldoni’s Lawyer

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are asking the court to silence Justin Baldoni’s lawyer after the attorney released footage from the It Ends With Us set.

Us Weekly confirmed Lively, 37, and Reynolds, 48, filed a letter in court on Tuesday, January 21. According to docs obtained by Us, Lively and Reynolds want a protective order to stop Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, from engaging in “improper conduct” such as an alleged “harassing and retaliatory media campaign” against the couple.

Lively and Reynolds claimed that Freedman is violating court rules that stop a lawyer from addressing the press with statements that are not related to the case and might prejudice the jury. The letter alleged that Lively previously issued Baldoni’s Wayfarer Studios a cease-and-desist letter and a second one to Freedman in December 2024.

Us reached out to reps for Lively and Baldoni, 40, for comment.

Blake Lively Breaks Silence on Justin Baldoni 'It Ends With Us' Footage

After Lively and Reynolds’ filing, sources close to Baldoni told Us it’s “grossly unfair to impose a gag order after Justin has been defamed by the New York Times in an article that they say has cost him three jobs and hundreds of millions of dollars.” (After Lively accused Baldoni of sexual harassment in a December 2024 lawsuit, which he denied, Baldoni and other plaintiffs fired back by suing The New York Times, who broke the news.)

The insider adds that Baldoni wants to “release videos and text messages to prove the allegations are false” and notes that it’s “unbelievable” that Lively “would go on a takedown campaign against Justin and then immediately turn around and say she wants a gag order so that Justin can’t defend himself.”

The filing came one day after Baldoni’s lawyer released the video in an attempt to disprove Lively’s side of the story. The footage obtained by Us on Tuesday began with a statement that read, “Ms. Lively’s complaint alleges that during a scene Mr. Baldoni and Ms. Lively were filming for a slow dance montage, Mr. Baldoni was behaving inappropriately. The following videos captured on May 23, 2023, clearly refute Ms. Lively’s characterization of his behavior. The scene in question was designed to show the two characters falling in love and longing to be close to one another. Both actors are clearly behaving well within the scope of the scene and with mutual respect and professionalism. These are all three takes filmed of the sequence.”

The slow dance montage showcased footage that is widely debated in Lively and Baldoni’s respective lawsuits. In the video, Lively and Baldoni are seen discussing his nose (the moment where he claimed in court docs she told him to get a nose job) and talking about the smell of her spray tan.

Justin Baldoni Lawyer Releases On-Set Video to Try to Disprove Blake Lively: Watch

When Baldoni nuzzled Lively on the neck and asked if he was “getting beard” on her, she replied with a laugh, “I’m probably getting spray tan on you,” to which he said, “It smells good.” Lively added, “Well, it’s not that. It’s my body makeup.” (Lively alleged in her filing that Baldoni’s comments were not “remotely in character.”)

After the video was released, Freedman said in a statement to Us: “Us received this video from legal counsel, Bryan Freedman who has gone on record numerous times and told the public that Justin Baldoni and team has nothing to hide and this video, once more proves this. Justin and team have the right to defend themselves with the truth and this is what we will be continuing to show with the upcoming website containing all correspondence as well as relevant videos that directly quash her claims.”

In response, Lively’s legal team slammed Baldoni and his team for choosing to publicly share the video.

“Justin Baldoni and his lawyer may hope that this latest stunt will get ahead of the damaging evidence against him, but the video itself is damning. Every frame of the released footage corroborates, to the letter, what Ms. Lively described in Paragraph 48 of her Complaint,” Lively’s legal team said in a statement to Us on Tuesday. “The video shows Mr. Baldoni repeatedly leaning in toward Ms. Lively, attempting to kiss her, kissing her forehead, rubbing his face and mouth against her neck, flicking her lip with his thumb, caressing her, telling her how good she smells, and talking with her out of character.”

Justin Baldoni Never Wanted to 'Hurt' Blake Lively, Lawyer Says

The statement continued: “Every moment of this was improvised by Mr. Baldoni with no discussion or consent in advance and no intimacy coordinator present. Mr. Baldoni was not only Ms. Lively’s costar, but the director, the head of [the] studio and Ms. Lively’s boss. The video shows Ms. Lively leaning away and repeatedly asking for the characters to just talk. Any woman who has been inappropriately touched in the workplace will recognize Ms. Lively’s discomfort. They will recognize her attempts at levity to try to deflect the unwanted touching. No woman should have to take defensive measures to avoid being touched by their employer without their consent.”

The message concluded, “This matter is in active litigation in federal court. Releasing this video to the media, rather than presenting it as evidence in court, is another example of an unethical attempt to manipulate the public. It is also a continuation of their harassment and retaliatory campaign. While they are focused on misleading media narratives, we are focused on the legal process. We are continuing our efforts to require Mr. Baldoni and his associates to answer in court, under oath, rather than through manufactured media stunts.”

Kelly Ripa Reveals How Much Weight She Gained After Quitting Drinking

Kelly Ripa Says She Gained 12 Lbs After She Quit Drinking
Kelly Ripa Astrid Stawiarz/Getty Images

Kelly Ripa reflected on her body transformation after she stopped drinking eight years ago.

“When I quit drinking, I expected there to be this windfall of weight loss because everybody’s like, ‘Well, you are gonna get too skinny, and you can’t afford to lose it,’” Ripa, 54, said during the Wednesday, January 22, episode of Live With Kelly and Mark. “I gained 12 pounds [and said], ‘I don’t understand this magical weight loss that people apply.’ I think I just took to eating the sugars.”

Ripa, who cohosted Wednesday’s show with pal Andy Cohen in her husband Mark Consuelos’ absence, gave up alcohol in 2019.

“They’re saying that Americans bought less wine last year,” she previously said on a January 2020 episode of Live. “It’s the first drop in a quarter of a century. Now, I believe this is because I quit drinking that I caused this dip. I have influenced the market.”

Kelly Ripa's Husband Mark Consuelos Gifted Her Gym Memberships Every Year

She added, “I’m not saying I’ve driven people [from drinking alcohol]. I’m saying, I stopped buying wine and there’s [been] a dip.”

Weeks later, Ripa told People that her wellness journey started when she did a “sober month” with her friends.

“We all did it together — and I just never went back to it,” she explained to the outlet. “It wasn’t even really a thought process. It felt great, I felt like I looked great, I felt like I didn’t feel hungover. Not that I was a heavy drinker — I wasn’t someone who got drunk — but even like two glasses of wine at a girl’s night out dinner, I would feel it the next morning.”

According to Ripa, she never felt “the need or desire to go back” to consuming alcohol.

Kelly Ripa ‘Really Shows Up’ With Her ‘Sacred’ Workouts: Inside Her Routine

“It wasn’t really a choice or a thought, it was just, ‘Yeah, I guess I don’t drink anymore,’” Ripa added. “I just felt better, so I stopped.”

The talk show maven further told People that becoming sober was easier than when she stopped smoking cigarettes.

“Quitting smoking I really had to think about. I was like: ‘Smoking leads to cancer and it will kill you.’ It was a thing I had to tell myself. And I was like, ‘It gives you wrinkles,’” Ripa said. “And that was the thing that was really terrifying [laughs]. But you don’t want to die early, needlessly, over cigarettes. Over something you don’t even like that much anyway. But drinking was very easy. I didn’t really think about it at all.”

Brody Jenner 'Really' Wants to See Fiancee Tia Blanco in a Wedding Dress

Brody Jenner and Tia Blanco went from fiancés to first-time parents within the span of a month.

After months of dating speculation, the couple made their relationship Instagram official in May 2022. Less than one year later, the pair announced they were expecting a baby together. “To start off this new year, we’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of our friends, family and followers health, happiness & an abundance of love,” they wrote via a joint Instagram post in January 2023. “We truly appreciate & love you all. We are excited to share with you the blessing of a new life in the new year.”

Brody — whose parents are Caitlyn Jenner and Linda Thompson — later popped the question just one month before Blanco gave birth to their daughter, Honey Raye, in July 2023.

Prior to his romance with Blanco, Brody was in a series of high-profile relationships with stars such as Kristin Cavallari, Lauren Conrad, Nicole Richie, Jayde Nicole, Josie Canseco and Avril Lavigne. He also previously exchanged vows with Kaitlynn Carter in 2018 — but when they split in August 2019, fans learned they were never legally married.

Thank you for all the love, joy & happiness you have brought to me! The sweetest heart, purest soul, spunkiest personality & happiest little spirit! Mama loves you! Happy 1st birthday!”

'Selling Sunset' Star Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet's House Burglarized

A break-in at Selling Sunset star Mary Fitzgerald Bonnet’s home in Los Angeles has occurred, Us Weekly can confirm.

A representative for the Los Angeles Police Department media relations team confirmed that the burglary took place on Sunday, January 19. An investigation is ongoing.

TMZ was first to report the news, claiming that thieves entered Fitzgerald Bonnet, 44, and husband Romain Bonnet’s residence through an unlocked door. They allegedly stole over $130,000 worth of jewelry, handbags and more luxury items. Per the outlet, Fitzgerald Bonnet and Bonnet, 31, were not home at the time of the incident.

Neither reality TV personality has publicly addressed the robbery.

Selling Sunset's Mary Fitzgerald Recalls Being 'Very Sick' After Miscarriage

Fitzgerald Bonnet and the contractor have been married since 2019, which was featured on season 2 of Selling Sunset. They have since been candid about their struggles to expand their family. Fitzgerald Bonnet, who welcomed son Austin when she was a teenager, also suffered a septic miscarriage in 2023.

“It’s not going to be as easy as we thought it would,” she exclusively told Us Weekly in April 2024. “I’ve had plenty of time to process and, in the beginning, it wasn’t easy. I think that I’ve really taken a stance, and it’s become a passion of mine to raise awareness for women’s issues.”

She added, “I think it’s so common now. So, I’m being very forward on that front. But when it comes to myself, there’s not a lot I can do about it. Whatever happens, happens but in the meantime, I’m going to try to help other women.”

Bonnet has supported his wife through the fertility struggles.

“Obviously, she has to take care of herself and then make sure that everything is good,” Bonnet told Us at the time. “I don’t want to put any pressure. Obviously, if it happens, that would be great. … We’re gonna see how it goes.”

Selling Sunset's Mary Fitzgerald and Romain Bonnet's Relationship Timeline

Two years earlier, Fitzgerald Bonnet told Us that they went through multiple rounds of embryo freezing and were also “just trying naturally.”

“He’s like, ‘Come on, we need to try more! Practice makes perfect.’ So, we’re not being crazy about it or anything, but we’re just trying naturally,” she told Us in December 2022. “Then, when things slow down we’ll do another round if it doesn’t work naturally.”

At the time, Fitzgerald Bonnet predicted that Bonnet would be an “incredible” parent one day.

“He is going to be the most amazing dad, because I had some reservations going into it, because I did it on my own, but he’s going to be amazing,” she gushed to Us. “He’s so loving and responsible and thoughtful, so he’s going to be great with a kid.”

'W.A.G.s to Riches' Shows Feud Over Buying Suite at Kansas City Chiefs Game

W A G s to Riches Features Fight Over Purchasing a Suite at a Kansas City Chiefs Football Game 988

W.A.G.s to Riches is set in Miami but somehow the Netflix series found a way to feature a feud over a Kansas City Chiefs game.

During the first season, which premiered on Wednesday, January 22, Keeta Hill was asked about the tension between her and Sadé Vanessa.

“We actually had an interaction when [my husband Tyreek Hill‘s team the Miami Dolphins] played Kansas City last season. I didn’t really know [Sadé] but all the wives and girlfriends had a suite together,” she recalled. “We all pitched in and I was filming for Netflix’s Hard Knocks [docuseries] at the time.”

Keeta asked to shoot scenes “in the suite” because it “was zero degrees outside” when the two teams faced off in the Chiefs’ first playoff game of the season.

“All the girls said Sadé was the one saying I couldn’t do it,” Keeta claimed about entering the suite at the game, which took place in January 2024. “I never met her before and I didn’t know who she was. We all pitched in.”

Keeta thought the lack of footage had something to do with it. “I think some of the girls thought, ‘We aren’t getting shot so you all can’t come in,'” she noted.

Elsewhere in the show, Sadé denied the accusation.

“I took it upon myself to arrange and coordinate a suite because we are going to Kansas and it is negative seven degrees,” she explained from her perspective. “In that group chat, she was not present. We made plans and everyone sent in money. She had someone speaking for her behalf in the group chat. She sent money.”

Sadé continued: “Me along with several other girls were not comfortable with them. If Hard Knocks wants to put us in a suite then they need to provide it. They didn’t come up to the suite until after halftime because they were filming and I was nothing but nice.”

The duo ultimately hashed things out after a group lunch. “I didn’t choose not to allow you guys to shoot. I wasn’t the main girl [in charge of that decision],” Sadé told Keeta. “It wasn’t even a thought. I am not disagreeing with that.”

Sadé and Keeta admitted there were issues “still lingering” that they wanted to bring to an end. More specifically, they noted that “communication was just not there” when the confusion originally began but they wanted to start fresh.

W.A.G.s to Riches is streaming on Netflix.
