In June, the NFL star proved that he’s got moves just like his girlfriend, Taylor Swift, when he joined her onstage at Wembley Stadium in London during her Eras Tour. Kelce appeared alongside two of Swift’s dancers following her performance of “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived.” Kelce carried Swift down the catwalk as she pretended to throw a tantrum before singing “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” In a video that went viral at the time, Travis fanned himself as Swift changed into a new costume. Once she was ready to sing again, she blew her boyfriend a kiss and he beamed on stage.

“It’s very unlike me. I’m not big, I don’t like going on stages,” Kelce explained his onstage debut on a July episode of his and his brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast.

“There were a lot of people out there, really didn’t feel at home,” he joked.

Kelce continued, “I initially mentioned to Tay, I was like, ‘How funny would it be if I just rolled out on one of the bikes during the 1989 [section]?’ She started laughing, she was like, ‘Would you seriously be up for doing something like that?’ I was like, ‘What? I would love to do that, are you kidding me?’”

“I’ve seen the show enough, might as well put me to work here,” he added. “And sure enough, she found the perfect part of the show for me to come in. There was no, like, bike in case I ran into somebody else or hit one of the dancers or anything. It was, like, the safest option.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Friends Are Hoping for an Engagement

“[Swift’s dancers] Kam and Jan, [in] part of the Tortured Poets era of the show, are trying to bring Tay back to life, right? Trying to bring her back to life, get her ready to perform the rest of the show, so to speak, knowing she can do it with a broken heart,” Kelce shared on the podcast. “It’s such a fun, like, playful part of the show.”

Kelce’s morning suit and top hat for the performance even inspired his Chiefs teammate Patrick Mahomes to pay homage to him at an Eras Tour-themed party held in Swift’s honor on Wednesday, December 18. Mahomes, 29, dressed up as Kelce while his wife, Brittany Mahomes, also 29, dressed as Swift.

Chris Martin Checked on Shakira ‘Every Day’ Amid Gerard Pique Split

Chris Martin Checked on Shakira ‘Every Day’ Amid Gerard Pique Split

Coldplay’s Chris Martin was there for his friend Shakira in her time of need.

The “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, 47, who publicly separated from soccer star Gerard Piqué in 2022, said her musician pal was one of the people she turned to after ending her 11-year relationship.

“He was there for me when I got separated and was heartbroken,” Shakira shared with Rolling Stone in a new profile on Martin published Thursday, December 19.

“He was checking in every day to see how I was doing, sending me words of support and strength and wisdom,” the Colombian pop star added.

According to Shakira, Martin, also 47, is a natural empath. “I see him as a person who sees life through a different lens, who’s sensitive to other people’s needs and very empathetic, very empathetic,” she said.

Shakira and Piqué, who share sons Milan, 11, and Sasha, 9, announced their separation in June 2022. “We regret to confirm that we are separating. For the wellbeing of our children, who are our highest priority, we ask that you respect their privacy,” they said in a joint statement.

Soon after their split, Piqué moved on with Spanish girlfriend Clara Chia Martí, 25.

In a September 2022 interview with Elle magazine, Shakira opened up about her painful split from the retired soccer player.

“This is really hard to talk about personally, especially as this is the first time I’ve ever addressed this situation in an interview,” the “She Wolf” songstress explained. “I’ve remained quiet and just tried to process it all. … It’s hard to talk about it, especially because I’m still going through it, and because I’m in the public eye and because our separation is not like a regular separation.”

“It’s been tough not only for me, but also for my kids,” Shakira told the outlet. “Incredibly difficult. … I’ve tried to conceal the situation in front of my kids. I try to do it and to protect them, because that’s my number one mission in life. But then they hear things in school from their friends or they come across some disagreeable, unpleasant news online, and it just affects them, you know?”

In June 2023, Shakira said she was “betrayed” while her father, William Mebarak Chadid, was hospitalized.

“[My dad] went to Barcelona to console me after I was consumed with sadness because of my separation,” she told People en Español at the time. “While he was at [my son] Milan’s first communion, he was gravely injured in an accident. Everything happened at once. My home was falling apart. I was finding out through the press that I had been betrayed while my dad was in the ICU.”

Shakira said she thought she “wasn’t going to survive” the hardships. “The man I have loved the most in my life, my father, was leaving me when I needed him the most. I couldn’t talk to him or go to my best friend for the advice I needed so much,” she said about her dad’s “very hard and slow” recovery process. Her father ultimately pulled through his health scare.

Kylie Kelce Jokes She Wanted Baby No. 4 Because 'I Like Even Numbers'

Kylie Kelce is coming clean about why she wanted to expand her family with husband Jason Kelce.

The podcaster and mom-of-three joked on the Thursday, December 19, episode of her “Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce” podcast that she settled on four kids because “I really like even numbers.”

During an interview with guest Charissa Thompson, Kylie, 32, shared that she always knew she wanted a big brood.

“Jason was always like, ‘I’ll do whatever you wanna do,’ and I was always in the camp of I wanted four with room for one pleasant surprise,” she explained.

“We got to three and I was like, ‘Three’s cool. This feels good,’” Kylie added, referring to her and Jason’s three daughters, Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 22 months. “Then we got out of the rough baby sleeping and all that, and I was like, ‘You know what, I like even numbers, let’s do it.’”

Thursday Night Football host Thompson then asked Kylie if she still wanted one more after welcoming baby no. 4.

“I think it might get shut down after this one,” the podcast host admitted. “We’re gonna have this next kid and I’m gonna be like, ‘Don’t even look at me. Eyes at the floor. Don’t look at me.’”

The Kelce Family's Glowing Quotes About Taylor Swift

Earlier on the podcast, Kylie responded to fans’ questions about whether she and Jason, 37, have picked out a name for the new addition.

“First of all, love the confidence, but even if I did have a name picked out, I’d probably keep that one in the family,” she said. “What I will say: We don’t have a name picked out, so you’re not missing out on anything. And I have seen a number of the suggestions come through in the comments section so I appreciate that.”

Kylie and Jason shared news of their impending arrival last month via Instagram.

Wendy Williams Makes Rare Public Appearance at Son Kevin's Graduation

Wendy Williams Makes Rare Public Appearance at Son Kevin's Graduation

Wendy Williams returned to the spotlight for her son, Kevin Hunter Jr.

The former talk show host, 60, attended Kevin’s college graduation from Florida International University in Miami on Thursday, December 19, per pictures obtained by People and TMZ.

Williams was seen clad in a sparkly dress and adorned with jewelry, including a “W” necklace and an oversized ring, for the special occasion. The star sat alongside family and friends in a mobility scooter customized with a Louis Vuitton monogrammed cup holder.

Williams shares Kevin, 24, with her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter. The couple were married for 20 years before Williams filed for divorce in April 2019. Their divorce was finalized in January 2020.

Wendy Williams Is ‘Cognitively Impaired' Amid Dementia Battle, Says Guardian

The former Wendy Williams Show host’s appearance at her son’s graduation marks a rare public sighting after she largely stepped back from the spotlight in 2022 amid various health issues.

In February, Williams revealed that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia and aphasia.

“As Wendy’s fans are aware, in the past, she has been open with the public about her medical struggles with Graves’ Disease and Lymphedema as well as other significant challenges related to her health,” her representatives said in a press release at the time.

According to the press release, Williams underwent multiple tests in 2023 after her memory began to fail after she started to “lose words” and “act erratically.”

Wendy Williams Ups and Downs with Spotted for the 1st Time in Public Since Aphasia and Dementia Diagnosis 477

“Receiving a diagnosis has enabled Wendy to receive the medical care she requires,” the statement added. “The decision to share this news was difficult and made after careful consideration, not only to advocate for understanding and compassion for Wendy, but to raise awareness about aphasia and frontotemporal dementia and support the thousands of others facing similar circumstances.”

In November, Williams’ court-appointed guardian, Sabrina E. Morrissey, said in a court filing that the beloved star had become “cognitively impaired, permanently disabled and legally incapacitated” amid her battle with early-onset dementia

The health update was part of Morrissey’s legal battle with A&E Television Networks, Lifetime Entertainment and other affiliates involved with releasing the Where Is Wendy Williams? docuseries, which aired in February.

Everything Wendy Williams Has Said About Diddy Over the Years

“This case arises from the brutally calculated, deliberate actions of powerful and cravenly opportunistic media companies working together with a producer to knowingly exploit [Williams],” Morrissey claimed in court docs obtained by Us Weekly, referring to the former talk show host’s dementia diagnosis. “FTD is a progressive disease, meaning that there is no cure and the symptoms only get worse over time.”

Morrissey alleged that the media companies “filmed without a valid contract” and released the docuseries without her consent. She also said that Williams was in a “highly vulnerable” state and she was “clearly incapable of consenting to being filmed, much less humiliated and exploited.”

Williams’ struggles first made headlines in February 2022 after news broke that she was taking a hiatus during season 13 of The Wendy Williams Show. The show officially ended in June 2022.

In a February interview with Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe, Gomez gushed over her boyfriend. “Without getting into too much detail, I think it’s just really important to meet someone that respects you,” Gomez said of how Blanco differs from some of her former flames. “And I think it’s really nice to also lean on someone who understands the world that I live in.”

She added, “But I’d have to say, overall, it’s the safest that I feel and it’s been really lovely and I’ve only grown through it, so it’s awesome.”

Seeing double!

Pregnant Brittany Mahomes and her husband, Patrick Mahomes, paid tribute to their pals, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, at an Eras Tour-themed party in Swift’s honor.

Brittany, 29, shared pictures from the bash on Wednesday, December 18, including a snap of her wearing a silver flapper dress not dissimilar from the one Swift wore during the Fearless portion of her recent record-breaking tour. The mom-of-two topped off her look with sparkly boots and an equally shimmery coat.

Meanwhile, Patrick, 29, looked dapper in a tuxedo that resembled his Kansas City Chiefs teammate’s look when Kelce appeared onstage with Swift in June. Patrick even wore a top hat and a scarf, just like Kelce, 35, did at Swift’s Wembley Stadium show this past summer.

“My people,” Brittany wrote via Instagram, sharing an array of photos from the soirée, which was themed after the Eras Tour.

Back in June, the Chiefs tight end surprised London Swifties when he joined his girlfriend onstage during the Tortured Poets Department section of her set. In a unique moment, Swift had her dancers get her dressed for “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart” while she pretended to throw a tantrum. There was a third dancer on June 23 as Kelce joined Kam Saunders and Jan Ravnik in a matching morning suit and top hat. Kelce pretended to apply blush to Swift’s cheeks before dabbing invisible makeup on himself.

Wednesday’s party appears to have been a celebration to mark the end of Swift’s Eras Tour and her 35th birthday on Friday, December 13.

Kelce was also spotted at the event. A photo of the couple partying together appeared on X on Wednesday. Swift wore a flirty black dress and playfully tugged on the lapel of Kelce’s black tuxedo jacket. (A fellow partier stood next to them, clad in a pink suit and otherwise distracted.) Meanwhile, Kelce flashed a huge grin at the camera. The NFL star sported friendship bracelets on his wrist and a white bow tie around his neck.

Other attendees included fellow Chiefs WAG Lyndsay Bell, who is married to tight end Blake Bell, and stylist Ashley Avignone.

Swift began her Eras Tour, a three-hour concert celebrating most of her past and present albums, in March 2023. After crossing continents for nearly two years, Swift played her final show in Vancouver on December 8.

Taylor Swift, Patrick Mahomes and More Stars Using Their Fame for Good

“I’ve never played more shows on tour or toured longer than I have with the Eras Tour,” Swift told the adoring audience during one of her final shows in Canada. “There are so many reasons for that, like, nobody’s backstage saying, ‘You gotta do more shows.’ I decided to make this tour the longest I’ve ever done because you have made this feel like so much more than a concert tour in so many ways.”

She continued, “I’ve been going on tour since I was 15 years old, and this has felt different in every single way. It’s felt like this escape to a planet where nothing but joy and passion and togetherness and camaraderie exists every night coming out to these crowds.”

Melissa Gorga Reacts to Teresa Giudice's Subtle Shade Over Cookie Line

The Real Housewives of New Jersey’s Melissa Gorga and Teresa Giudice won’t be splitting a sprinkle cookie anytime soon.

On the Wednesday, December 18, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Melissa, 45, shared her reaction to her sister-in-law and longtime rival Teresa, 52, appearing to take credit for her new cookie company. (After Melissa announced her new venture earlier in December, Teresa shared a cryptic X post that read, “You’re welcome.)

Responding to a virtual fan who asked for her thoughts, Melissa said on WWHL, “Well, she’s welcome for giving her someone to hate on for the last decade. So, she’s welcome!”

Melissa’s reply prompted host Andy Cohen to say, “You’ve both done so much for each other.”

“We really have,” Melissa told Andy.

Melissa shared details about her new brand, Sprinkle by MG, in an exclusive interview with Us Weekly earlier this month.

“Everyone knows sprinkle cookies are my absolute favorite,” the Bravo star told Us. “We had that iconic scene [on The Real Housewives of New Jersey] and I’ve always wanted to come out with my own — it’s been a long time coming.”

Melissa Gorga Reacts to Teresa Giudice's Subtle Shade Over Cookie Line

As loyal RHONJ fans know, Gorga’s preference for the Italian sweets were brought to light during season 3 when Teresa recalled throwing away a box of sprinkle cookies that a then-pregnant Gorga brought to her home on Christmas Eve. (The incident, which inspired a TikTok sound, was just one of many that contributed to their ongoing issues.)

“Everywhere I go, people give me sprinkle cookies, [whether] it was at book signings or when they come to Envy,” Gorga continued. “When we go to Dolores’ [Catania’s Battle for Brooklyn’ baseball] games, everyone holds up ‘Team Sprinkle’ [signs].”

RHOM s Alexia Nepola Calls Out Housewives Franchises With the Worst Style

Since joining RHONJ during season 3, Melissa and Teresa’s ups and downs have dominated the show’s story lines for the last 11 seasons. However, the two refused to speak to each other on season 14, which aired earlier this year, prompting speculation of a cast shakeup going forward.

For her part, Melissa said she is prepared to leave the show.

“I am prepared for anything at this point, obviously because of all the rumors that are out there,” Melissa said on an August episode of the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast. “I am fully prepared for anything.”

“I think I would realize that her and I are two extremely different characters, so to speak, on the show,” Melissa told podcast hosts Tamra Judge and Teddi Mellencamp. “So, if Bravo decides to go that route and kind of, like, the darker route, then I need to say that is not a show that I want to be on anyway.”

“I do not want to be on that toxic s–t. As long as you know she is there and that whole thing would come back, I wouldn’t find it as a loss,” she continued. “I also want to say, like, I’ve had a 14-year run … You can’t do it forever. You don’t go and be on a TV show for 50 [or] 20 years. I mean, I’ve been on for 14 years.”

Melissa continued, “So do I want to come back? Do I hope that they do something a little fresh and new? Of course, I’m not gonna lie to everyone. I do hope that there’s some changes, and I don’t know that I’ll be a part of them. I don’t think anybody knows.”

As for the future of RHONJ, producer Cohen told Us exclusively this week that there won’t be an update for some time. “You’re not gonna get it for, like, a year, so everyone stop asking,” he said. “And I keep saying you are going to get nothing, so stop asking!”

Karen Huger Told Police She Was 'Thomas Jefferson's Concubine' After Crash

Karen Huger Told Police She Was 'Thomas Jefferson's Concubine' After Crash
Karen Huger

The Real Housewives of Potomac’s Karen Huger name-dropped third U.S. President Thomas Jefferson and Andy Cohen following her car accident in March.

Huger, 61, was found guilty of driving under the influence and four other charges on Wednesday, December 18, though she was acquitted of reckless driving. After the conclusion of her trial in Rockville, Maryland, prosecutors released police footage of Huger on the night of the accident, as shared by Fox 5 DC anchor Marina Marraco via X.

In police dash camera footage from the night of March 19, Huger can be seen sitting in the passenger seat of a police vehicle and telling an officer that she’s known as the “Grande Dame” — a reference to her moniker on RHOP — and that “Andy Cohen did that.” She continues, “I don’t know what the f–k that’s about.”

After being taken to a local police station, police body camera footage then shows Huger appearing to disagree with a police officer and at one point referring to herself as “Thomas Jefferson’s concubine.”

Real Housewives’ Legal Troubles Through the Years

Huger was charged with DUI, negligent driving, failure to control speed to avoid a collision, and failure to notify authorities of an address change in court Wednesday, per Fox 5 DC. (Us Weekly has reached out to Bravo for comment on the verdict.)

“Although we are disappointed in the jury’s verdict, we of course respect their decision and appreciate their time hearing our case,” Huger’s attorney, A. Scott Bolden, told People in a statement. “We continue to reserve Mrs. Huger’s right to an appeal and intend to fully pursue justice on her behalf. We appreciate your support and prayers for Mrs. Huger and her family at this time.”

In March, Huger was involved in a car accident in Potomac, Maryland. The Montgomery County Police told TMZ at the time that Huger was driving her 2017 Maserati in an “aggressive manner” in Potomac when she struck an intersection crosswalk sign and a parking sign.

She was not arrested but received multiple citations from police at the time. She was later charged with a DUI and DWI.

During her trial, police body camera footage showed an officer tell her she was “hammered” as she appeared to slur her words, reported Fox 5 DC. Multiple witnesses testified during the trial, including an EMT who claimed that Huger refused treatment at the scene of the accident and “swayed” when she attempted to get into an ambulance.

At the time of the accident, Huger said she was dealing with emotional distress.

“Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes during this very frightening experience. I am still in shock from last nights incident, but grateful to be alive today. With the passing of my Beloved Mother, Grief comes and goes in waves, and with Mothers Day approaching it has felt more like a tsunami,” Huger TMZ in a March statement. “Last night I met a girlfriend for dinner, we talked and brought up some very emotionally sensitive topics. I was crying on my way home and saw a car heading right for me. I swerved to avoid the head-on collision, hit the divider and then a tree. I’m hurt, bruised up a bit, but so grateful I am alive! I did receive citations, one of which was unrelated to the incident which is understandable, but what was most surprising is that the car that almost hit me just drove away!”

She concluded, “I would like to stress, it’s important to understand your emotional state when driving and may this be a reminder to all to use their seatbelts, my Mother may be my Guardian Angel but the seatbelt saved my life.”

Huger is expected to be sentenced on January 29, 2025.

Why Kyle Richards Thinks Mauricio Is ‘Giving Major Midlife Crisis Vibes’

The Real Housewives of Beverly HillsKyle Richards doesn’t disagree that her estranged husband, Mauricio Umansky, might be going through a midlife crisis.

Kyle’s friend and former Housewife-turned-guest star Camille Grammer made a quip about Mauricio having a midlife crisis during the Tuesday, December 17, episode of RHOBH as they discussed Kyle’s separation from her husband.

Well, it seems Kyle, 55, is thinking the same thing.

“Probably there is some truth to that,” Kyle told costar Erika Jayne on Tuesday’s RHOBH After Show. “I mean, I would say this to his face, which I actually have … Kind of watching how he’s been navigating through this situation there’s been times I’ve thought, ‘This is giving major midlife crisis vibes.’”

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky’s Honest Quotes About Their Separation

One such example of Mauricio, 54, experiencing a midlife crisis, according to Kyle? “All the way down to a car he bought for our house in Aspen which I call a ‘midlife crisis mobile,’” she said.

“It’s just a big monster truck … the outside is rough [and] sandpapery, and it’s got these big wheels,” the Halloween Kills star explained. “It’s like a monster coming through town. Everyone stares and you’re like, ‘Oh, God.’”

Kyle and Mauricio’s separation after 27 years of marriage has been a big focal point on RHOBH season 14. Viewers have seen Kyle navigate living alone after Mauricio moved out into his own “bachelor pad,” as she put it on Tuesday’s episode of the Bravo reality show.

On the Tuesday, December 3, episode of RHOBH, Kyle met up with Mauricio at their former Beverly Hills home to discuss their future. Kyle explained in a confessional that her estranged husband had signed a six-month lease on a condo following their July 2023 separation.

“I have yet to go to his place,” Kyle shared on the December 3 RHOBH After Show. “He’s invited me a number of times, actually. It just hasn’t worked out yet — I’ve been out of town, I had plans, and then the Jewish holidays just passed and I was like, ‘I have more space here.’ So I’ve been still hosting the Jewish holiday dinners with his family.”

Kyle also reiterated her thoughts during a confessional that Mauricio buying furniture for his new place made the move feel more “permanent.”

“He said, ‘I need to do this. I’m gonna move out for six months and we’ll figure it out,’” Kyle told Erika on the After Show. “So I [thought it] was a take it from there type of thing. And then all of a sudden, he’s buying stuff. I’m like, you’re buying another bed, another desk — this doesn’t feel like you went into that thinking that thinking this is [permanent].”

Is Apple Martin clapping back at the “mean girl” criticism?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s daughter seemingly addressed the social media backlash that followed her debut at Paris’ Le Bal des Débutantes last month in a new TikTok video shared by her friend Ava Crox on Monday, December 16.

Per E! News and the Daily Mail, in the since-deleted post, Apple and two friends can be seen mouthing along to a voiceover that says, “I don’t know how anyone has a problem with us, we are such a delight.”

The voiceover continues, “We are two of the funniest girls and I know us, like offline. When I tell you, there aren’t two more caring, charitable, generous, kind…”

Apple, 20, recently made her high society debut at Le Bal de Débutantes, dancing with her dad at the event, but it was a TikTok video that caused a stir on social media. In a clip shared by French magazine Paris Match, Apple and fellow débutante Aliénor Loppin de Montmort were spotted taking photos, with Apple confidently posing for the camera while standing behind Loppin de Montmort. This prompted a wave of social media backlash, including Apple being branded a “mean girl.”

Speaking to People earlier this month, however, Loppin de Montmort hit back at the claims and instead had nothing but kind words for Apple. “[Apple’s] genuinely the nicest girl ever! She really doesn’t deserve an ounce of what she’s getting,” Loppin de Montmort told the outlet. “She was the nicest girl ever towards not only me but all the debs!”

Girardi’s legal woes went public in November 2020 after Erika filed for divorce after 21 years of marriage. One month later, the pair were accused of embezzling funds meant for families of plane crash victims. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star was dismissed from the case in January 2022.

More than one year later, Girardi was indicted in the embezzlement case. He was charged with five counts of wire fraud at the time, to which he pleaded not guilty. Jayne, for her part, was not accused of any crimes. Girardi was disbarred by the State of California in 2022.

In August, Girardi, 85, was found guilty of embezzling “tens of millions of dollars” from clients. Prosecutors are seeking a 14-year prison sentence for Girardi. His sentencing hearing is set to take place on Friday, December 20.

“His years-long theft of client funds from his law firm’s trust accounts and the myriad lies he told to cover up his theft represent a calculated and devastating betrayal of the very people that turned to him for help in their darkest hour,” prosecutors argued in a December 6 sentencing memo obtained by Reuters.

Following Girardi’s conviction in August, United States Attorney Martin Estrada said in a press release, “Tom Girardi built celebrity status and lured in victims by falsely portraying himself as a ‘Champion of Justice. In reality, he was a Robin-Hood-in-reverse, stealing from the needy to support of a lavish, Hollywood lifestyle. Today’s verdict shows that the game is up – we can all now see this defendant for what he was and the victims he callously betrayed.”

Per the press release, Girardi diverted millions of dollars from his law firm’s operating account to pay expenses outside of work including his and estranged wife Erika Jayne’s company EJ Global plus funded private jet travel, jewelry, luxury cars, golf and social clubs.

Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna’s Breast at Christmas Concert: ‘This Is Epic’

Mariah Carey Signs Rihanna’s Breast at Christmas Concert: ‘This Is Epic’

Rihanna left Mariah Carey’s latest concert with more than just a T-shirt.

The “Lift Me Up” songstress attended Carey’s final stop on her Mariah Carey’s Christmas Time tour at the Barclays Center in New York City on Tuesday, December 17, and got the headliner to autograph her breast.

“I need a signature. Who has a Sharpie? Sign my tit!” Rihanna, 36, can be heard telling Carey, 55, as she waded through the crowd in a video circulating on social media.

Carey then penned her first name with a red Sharpie on Rihanna’s breast. The Bajan singer took Carey’s microphone and declared to the audience, “Mariah Carey is signing my tit, y’all! This s— is f—ing epic!” Rihanna then showed off her prized new autograph to the camera and the two stars embraced in a hug.

Tuesday’s final performance marked Carey’s return to the stage after coming down with the flu earlier this month. Carey was forced to cancel her December 11 concert in Pittsburgh just hours before she was due to take the stage at the PPG Paints Arena.

“Pittsburgh, I am sorry to say, I’ve come down with the flu. It breaks my heart that I unfortunately have to cancel tonight’s show. I love you all so much,” she wrote in a message via X.

Two days later, Carey canceled two more shows scheduled for Friday, December 13, and Sunday, December 15, respectively, in Newark, New Jersey, and Belmont Park, New York. “Newark and Belmont – I wish I had better news but unfortunately I’m still sick and have to cancel the shows tonight and on Sunday. I’m really devastated about it and appreciate your support. Love, MC,” she shared via X.

But on Monday, December 16, the star confirmed she would perform Tuesday at the Barclays Center. “Lambs, thank you for making my #Christmastime so special ❤ I’ve loved singing with you every night, and I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow in Brooklyn for the last show of the tour,” she wrote via Instagram.

How Much Does Mariah Carey Make From ‘All I Want for Christmas Is You’?

The Queen of Christmas is also celebrating her classic holiday anthem, “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” reaching 16 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, 30 years after it was first released. The song’s run now ties another of Carey’s hits, “One Sweet Day,” which featured Boyz II Men and held the No. 1 spot for 16 weeks between 1995 and 1996.

Amanda Seyfried Says Viral 'Wicked' Singing Video Was Not Her Audition

Yes, Amanda Seyfried auditioned for Wicked — but that viral video isn’t her audition tape.

The Oscar nominee, 39, dispelled social media chatter that a video of her performing “Popular” from the hit musical was her attempt to bag the role of Glinda in director Jon M. Chu’s recent movie adaptation. Instead, she was simply having fun behind the scenes at a photo shoot.

“I think it was during COVID. I was doing a Lancôme shoot in Long Island City. Elizabeth Stewart [was] my stylist,” Seyfried explained to People in an interview published on Saturday, December 14, referring to a clip posted by the stylist via Instagram nearly two years ago.

In the video, Seyfried can be seen wearing a striking silver princess gown while singing one of Glinda’s signature tunes.

“I was not auditioning for Wicked yet, but I knew it was, like, coming up. So I was just f—ing around really, and I was like, ‘This dress is so Glinda.’ And Elizabeth was like, ‘Do it.’ And then she posted at some point.” (Stewart posted the video in January 2023 to celebrate Seyfried’s Golden Globe nomination for her role as Elizabeth Holmes in The Dropout.)

Since Wicked’s release last month, fans on social media have resurfaced the video and referred to it as Seyfried’s audition tape. That’s not the case, though Seyfried did audition for the part of Glinda, ultimately played by pop star Ariana Grande.

“I went hard for that, for sure,” she said of auditioning to play Glinda. “And it was a very long process. And everything happens the way it’s meant to.”

Amid the confusion about the video, Seyfried now believes “maybe it would be better if it hadn’t been posted.”

Despite not landing the role of Glinda, Seyfried saw Wicked in theaters and thought it was “fantastic.”

“It’s an extravaganza, which is what she [Grande] does really well. And [my kids] have been playing the soundtrack nonstop. And everything is as it’s meant to be, for sure,” the Emmy winner added.

Other stars who auditioned for the role include Reneé Rapp and Dove Cameron.

“I did [audition for it]. Ariana’s gonna be f—ing amazing,” Rapp said during a November 2022 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

Yes, Certain Iconic 'Wicked' Lines Were Cut From the Movie for a Reason

Meanwhile, Cameron told TheWrap in April 2023, “I definitely went out for it.”

“I know that for everybody who did go out for it, it was a very long process. It was one of the longer processes I’ve been a part of,” she added.

Simone Biles Shares Sweet Kiss With Husband Jonathan Owens at Bears Game

Simone Biles Shares Sweet Kiss With Husband Jonathan Owens at Bears Game

Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens looked all loved up at his latest game!

The Chicago Bears may not have won against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday, December 16, but Owens, 29, got one heck of a consolation prize: a sweet kiss from his Olympic gymnast wife.

A clip shared via social media by ESPN and SportsCenter from Monday’s game at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis shows Biles, 27, join her husband on the field for a sweet embrace. “I love you,” she can be heard telling Owens.

The seven-time Olympic gold medal winner looked stylish for the game, sporting an all-black ensemble, including thigh-high black boots, a fur coat and a fur hat.

Earlier in the day, Biles also shared clips via her Instagram Stories of her sharing a pregame cocktail with Torrie Brown, who is married to the team’s tight end Marcedes Lewis.

Biles and her man — who wed in April 2023 — previously packed on the PDA when she attended the Bears’ away game against the San Francisco 49ers on December 8. Ahead of the matchup, Owens met up with Biles on the sidelines, where they each wrapped their arms around one another’s waists and embraced.

What Simone Biles and Jonathan Owens Have Said About Their Athleticism

The Olympic gymnast and Bears safety have been dating together since 2020, first meeting and matching via dating app Raya. At the time, Owens had no clue just how famous Biles was.

“[I] had been on the [dating app Raya] for a couple days and then she pops up. I’m like, ‘Lemme see who this is,’” Owens recalled during a December 2023 appearance on “The Pivot” podcast. “I never really paid attention to gymnastics, so it piqued my curiosity [and I was like], ‘I’ll see what’s up.’”

Simone Biles Becomes the Most Decorated U.S. Olympic Gymnast

Owens was playing for the Houston Texans at the time, near Biles’ training facility.

Over the summer, Biles became the most decorated U.S. gymnast in Olympic history during the 2024 Paris Olympics, taking home three gold and a silver, bringing her total number of medals to 11. She went into the Olympics with seven medals, tying Shannon Miller, who competed in the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games.

Jonathan Owens Supports Simone Biles Gymnastic Team Finals

After winning gold in the women’s vault event in August, Biles didn’t rule out potentially competing again at the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles.

“Is this my last? Definitely [my final] Yurchenko double pike,” Biles quipped during an August 3 press conference. “I mean, I kinda nailed that one. … The next Olympics is at home [in Los Angeles]. So, you just never know. But I am getting really old.”

Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers Reveals Melanoma Diagnosis

Captain Jason Shares How Scandal Changed Below Deck Down Under
Captain Jason Chambers

Below Deck Down Under’s Captain Jason Chambers is opening up about a recent health scare.

In a video shared via Instagram on Monday, December 16, the reality television star revealed that a recent biopsy he had was confirmed to be melanoma, a type of skin cancer.

“I’m in Australia and that was done in Bali,” Captain Jason, 52, explained in the video. “The Australian doctors here, they weren’t happy with what the indications told them to go to stage 2, which would be to cut out a bigger section and test the glands. So I’m waiting for the specimen to come from Bali, so it’ll be here this week, but I may not get it till after Christmas.”

The Australian star encouraged his fellow countrymen to be extra cautious as the weather gets hotter over the next few months.

“Two out of three people suffer from melanoma. It’s a big thing. We’ve got a heatwave coming this summer, so make sure you put a hat on,” he said, noting that he never used to wear sunscreen but has now found chemical-free products. “Make sure you throw on some sunscreen, get some shade and cover yourself up.”

In the caption of his post, Captain Jason added, “For someone that spent their life in the sun, as a child playing sport to working on the ocean, I thought I was resistant to the damaging effects of the sun. I love the sun and its health benefits are evident, but be wise and like everything in life, it’s all about balance, choose your battles.”

“With a diagnosed melanoma biopsy, I now have an anxious wait and what I thought was a skin spot turned in just 6 months, early detection is the key,” he continued.

The post concluded, “So find a chemical free sunscreen product, get some shade with a hat and enjoy the sun with protection.”

Captain Jason has been at the helm of Below Deck Down Under, which airs on Peacock, for two seasons. A third season has already been filmed.

“Season 3 has been filmed. I just know it’s in edits at the moment, but it has been filmed and I can confirm that,” Jason exclusively told Us Weekly in September. “The most information out so far is that it has been confirmed.”

Season 2 of Below Deck Down Under, which aired in 2023, made headlines when ship bosun Luke Jones was filmed getting into bed naked with stewardess Margot Sisson, who at the time was passed out after an alcohol-fueled crew night out. After a cameraman intervened, producers made Luke leave the boat and he was moved to a hotel for the night. Jason ultimately terminated Luke and let stewardess Laura Bileskaline go after she blamed Margot for his exit.

The captain told Us that the scandal surrounding season 2 led to some big changes being implemented while shooting the new season.

“There were changes for sure. I know that the policies and procedures were in place during the previous seasons, even when that happened. When production stepped in and stopped it, that showed that these policies and procedures were very understood,” Jason noted. “Now for the next season, the policies and procedures weren’t just controlled by the production team itself. They actually brought additional HR people to actually make sure that the black and white writing was understood by all.”

Jason Kelce Reacts to Look-Alike Contest, Picks His Winner

Jason Kelce Reacts to Look-Alike Contest, Picks His Winner

Jason Kelce is poking fun at himself after a look-alike contest was held in his honor.

Dozens of doppelgangers congregated on Rittenhouse Square Park in Philadelphia on Saturday, December 14, to be crowned the former Philadelphia Eagles center’s top look-alike. Still, according to Kelce, 37, the bar is low.

On the Monday, December 16, episode of ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Kelce expected to talk football, but his cohosts, led by Scott Van Pelt, surprised him with social media footage from the competition. “What are we doing right now? Why is this —” a bewildered Kelce asked.

As his cohosts made quips about his look-alikes — “There’s five dudes! The guy in the sweater, I thought was you!” — Kelce poured cold water on the notion that he has a unique look.

Jason Kelce’s Impressive Career With the Philadelphia Eagles: Timeline

“Newsflash: Any overweight white guy with a beard looks just like me!” he said. “It’s an easy competition. There’s nothing unique about any of these gentlemen other than they are large people with beards, and of Caucasian complexion.”

Kelce also gave his opinion on who should have won — and it wasn’t the eventual victor.

“That guy was spot on,” he said of one of the top three contestants who wore a cardigan similar to Kelce’s own Big Lebowski-inspired sweater. In fact, on Monday, Kelce changed his X profile picture to a photo of the individual.

Jason Kelce Subtly Reacts to His Philadelphia Look-Alike Contest 2

Reacting to footage of eventual winner Paul Crossley, who wore a maroon sweater, he said, “It’s good. I think the sweater guy was more accurate.”

“I got to confess. That is actually me, guys,” he quipped about his preferred winner. “I came up to my own lookalike [contest] and I lost. Came in second.”

Flattering as it may be to have one’s own look-alike contest — Timothée Chalamet crashed his — for Kelce, it was a bit of a wake-up call.

Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce's Most Supportive Quotes About Each Other

“Do you know how disheartening it is to know that there’s nothing unique about you at all?” he joked. “Thousands of people look like you.”

Kelce went on to reveal that he also has a celebrity doppelganger.

“You know how often I was compared to Zach Galifianakis?” he told his cohosts. “I love Zach. He’s, like, under 6-foot. There’s nothing about us remotely the same. Our hair isn’t even the same kind of hair.”

Nicole Kidman Shares Her Mom’s Profound Last Words to Her

Nicole Kidman is opening up about her mom’s profound final words to her before her death.

The Babygirl star mourned the death of her mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, in September, and recalled her last words during an interview on CBS Sunday Morning on Sunday, December 15.

“The final words my mama said, which I didn’t know were gonna be the final words … I was going to get on a plane and go back to see her. And she was like, ‘Maybe wait a minute because I think you just need to take care of yourself right now, Nicky,’” Kidman, 57, said. “So, I’m doing that more. And I say that to other people in the world, and particularly women. I think we tend not to take care of ourselves.”

The Oscar winner went on to reveal that when her grandmother passed away, her final words were, “Be happy.”

“And my mom said, ‘Take care of yourself,’” Kidman recalled.

Kidman said her mom’s final words are something she will honor as a mother of four herself. (Kidman shares daughter Isabella, 31, and son Connor, 29, with ex-husband Tom Cruise and teenage daughters Sunday Rose, 16, and Faith Margaret, 13, with husband Keith Urban.)

“Obviously, I’m an older mother, so I want to be around for a long time for my girls,” Kidman said. “They’re amazing girls, and I’m lucky to have them. So taking care of myself means so that I can take care of them.”

Kidman found out about her mother’s death in early September shortly after arriving at the Venice International Film Festival.

“Today I arrived in Venice to find out shortly after, that my beautiful, brave mother Janelle Ann Kidman has just passed,” Kidman shared in a statement read on her behalf by Babygirl director Halina Reijn during the September 7 awards ceremony, where Kidman won best actress. “I am in shock and I have to go to my family, but this award is for her, she shaped me, she guided me and she made me.”

The statement continued, “I am beyond grateful that I get to say her name to all of you through Halina, the collision of life and art is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken.”

Days later, Kidman and her sister, Antonia, shared a joint message via Instagram thanking friends and fans for supporting them amid their loss.

“My sister and I along with our family want to thank you for the outpouring of love and kindness we have felt this week,” the sisters wrote. “Every message we have received from those who loved and admired our Mother has meant more to us than we will ever be able to express. Thank you from our whole family for respecting our privacy as we take care of each other ❤.”

In October, Kidman admitted she deeply missed her mom.

“It’s been hard,” Nicole, 57, told The Hollywood Reporter at the Lioness season 2 premiere in Los Angeles. “It’s a hard road. I’m hanging in there.”

The actress said it was bittersweet to be celebrating her career success without her mother around to share it.

“I wish my mama was here,” Nicole told the outlet. “That’d be the one thing I’d say. Everything is great with work, but I wish my mama was here.”

Drake is the latest celebrity to support a lookalike contest in his honor.

The rapper, 38, said he would award $10,000 to the winner of a contest held in his hometown of Toronto on Saturday, December 14.

After Toronto’s Casuals Bakery announced the lookalike competition, the “God’s Plan” rapper hit up the eatery via Instagram last week. “I’m adding 10 bands to the look alike contest … as the main prize,” Drake said in a direct message shared publicly by the bakery on Thursday, December 12.

The proprietor of Casuals wrote alongside a screenshot of the exchange, “I can barely type and a whole shock went through my body. But yes this is true and real & I hope the Drake doppelgängers ready 🔥 LETSSSSSSSS GOOOOOOO.”

Saturday’s lookalike contest was won by a female fan who wore pigtails like the ones Drake was seen sporting in October and a drawn-on beard, per a video shared by the bakery.

The Drake lookalike contest follows similar contests around the world celebrating the likes of Timothée Chalamet, Paul Mescal, Glen Powell, Zayn Malik and Harry Styles.

Dune star Chalamet crashed his lookalike contest in New York City’s Washington Square Park in October. Chalamet, 28, appeared to have snuck into the crowd wearing a baseball cap and black mask before eventually revealing himself and stopping to pose for photos with excited fans.

In November, Hit Man star Powell, 36, promised the winner of a lookalike contest held in Austin, Texas, a cameo in his next movie for a family member.

“Look, I know there is some cash and a hat at stake here, but I just want to say that the winner of today’s contest gets a personal prize from me,” Powell said in a video shared via X. “Now you may know that my parents make a cameo in every movie I make, but today, the winner of the Glen Powell lookalike contest wins their parents, or any family member of their choice, a cameo in my next movie. I am completely serious.”

According to the Austin American-Statesman, Max Braunstein won the competition and took part in a post-ceremony video chat with Powell. Photos captured by the outlet revealed that contestants arrived in cowboy hats that nodded to Powell’s character in Twisters, Tyler Owens.

Yvette Nicole Brown Is Married: 'Never Thought It Would Happen for Me'

Yvette Nicole Brown is a married woman!

The Community star, 53, wed actor Anthony Davis in what she described as an “intimate, classy and fun” wedding in Los Angeles on Saturday, December 14.

“It’s never too late,” the actress told People in an interview published Sunday, December 15.

“I’m not someone who really likes a lot of attention, and I realized there’s a way that I could have a wedding where I made it more about other people, in the sense that because I am of a certain age and I never thought it would happen for me, my wedding can be an inspirational moment,” Brown continued. “I feel like it’s important to make sure that the way God has blessed me, that I remind people that he is still in the blessing business, and can totally bless them as well.”

Brown and Davis became friends in their twenties but reconnected in 2021 after Brown’s mother died.

“Instead of ‘everybody come and look at me,’ it’s like, ‘Everybody come and look at love. Everybody come and look at what God can do. Everybody come and look at the fact that miracles can still happen,’” Brown added.

The Drake & Josh star wore a mermaid-style white gown designed by Ines Di Santo, while her groom looked dapper in a custom brown suit.

Brown told People, “I had no nerves when it came to marrying this man. He is the one for me. Absolutely.”

The wedding reception featured a special performance by Tony-, Grammy- and Emmy-winning Hamilton actor Leslie Odom Jr., a friend of the couple. Davis also surprised Brown by arranging for her father — who has Alzheimer’s disease — to attend the wedding in conjunction with his care facility.

In the absence of her mother and with her father ill, Brown said she was walked down the aisle by her brother, Paris.

“So my brother and his sister stood in,” the actress said. “So it was nice to walk down the aisle toward family and with family, even if it’s not the family we wish we had in those roles.”

Brown announced her engagement to Davis in December 2023. In September, she teased exclusively to Us Weekly that their nuptials may be bigger than expected.

“I am not someone who would want a big wedding, but at the same time, there’s so many people that have prayed for me and wished for me who want to celebrate me,” Brown told Us. “And I feel like if I’m gonna have a big party once in my life, celebrating love is the time to do it. So it might end up being a little bigger than I thought it would be.”

Buckingham Palace Staffer Arrested Following Christmas Party Brawl

Buckingham Palace Staffer Arrested Following Christmas Party Brawl

A Buckingham Palace household staff member has been arrested after a brawl broke out at an informal staff Christmas party.

According to The Sun, which was first to report the news on Friday, December 13, the staffer — said to be a housemaid — attempted to punch a manager at All Bar One in London’s Victoria Street, a short distance from Buckingham Palace, and smashed several glasses.

Around 50 staffers attended the Christmas party on Tuesday, December 10, following an early evening staff party at the palace.

“At 21.21hrs on Tuesday, December 10, officers were called to a bar in Victoria Street, SW1, following reports that a customer had smashed glasses and attempted to assault a member of staff,” a Metropolitan Police spokesperson told The Sun, though, according to People, the police department would not confirm the identity nor profession of the person arrested.

“Officers attended and arrested a 24-year-old woman on suspicion of common assault, criminal damage and being drunk and disorderly,” the police statement continued. “She was taken into custody and released the following evening having been given a penalty notice for disorder.”

A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told Us Weekly in a statement Friday that the matter is being investigated internally.

“We are aware of an incident outside the workplace involving a number of Household staff who had previously attended an early evening reception at the Palace,” the palace said in a statement to Us. “While this was an informal social gathering, not an official Palace Christmas party, the facts will be fully investigated, with a robust disciplinary process followed in relation to individual staff and appropriate action taken.”

One eyewitness told The Sun that the woman’s actions were unlike anything they’d ever seen before. “I’ve never seen one person get that crazy during a night out. She was on another level,” they said.
