Josh Allen is the MVP of Christmas!

The Buffalo Bills quarterback, 28, was gifted a 14-karat white gold chain emblazoned with “MVP” on it by his teammates.

Bills offensive tackle Dion Dawkins revealed the gift from the team’s offensive line via Instagram on Wednesday, December 25.

The luxurious chain is shaped like a football jersey and also features Allen’s number, 17, on it. The back of the pendant lists the names of Allen’s offensive line teammates.

In a video posted to his Instagram Stories, Dawkins shared the moment he presented Allen with the gift. “That’s so sick,” Allen said when he received it.

Jeweler Gabriel Jacobs of Rafaello and Co., who designed the gift, told TMZ that the unique piece is comprised of 14 karats of white gold and has 27 carats of diamonds in it, including 12 in the necklace and 15 in the pendant.

Jacobs told the outlet that Dawkins, 30, reached out to him to make the chain on December 9 and it was shipped and ready to be gifted to Allen by December 20.

Allen recently credited his new fiancée Hailee Steinfeld for his killer performance this NFL season.

“She’s been a huge part,” the Bills QB told The Associated Press on Wednesday, December 18. “The morale, the support. When I get home, she’s my biggest fan, my biggest supporter.”

Allen added, “She’s just the best.”

That sentiment was shared by Dawkins, who said that “there’s something about” the stability that Steinfeld, 28, has been able to provide Allen.

“When you’re in this world that we’re in, and a lot of people pulling at you and a lot of sources of ups and downs of a roller-coaster, and you have that one stable person that you can rely on and go home and hug and get a laugh no matter what, I think that’s dope,” Dawkins told the AP. “And that’s what I think is going on.”

Josh Allen Kept Crying Leading Up to Hailee Steinfeld Proposal

Allen proposed to Steinfeld on November 22, during the Bills’ bye week, after more than one year of dating. The couple announced their engagement a week later, with a simple post via Instagram.

“ 11•22•24 ,” Allen wrote alongside a picture from the oceanside proposal, which happened in Malibu.

The couple were first linked when they were spotted together in New York City in May 2023, shortly after Allen ended his eight-year relationship with girlfriend Brittany Williams.

In June 2023, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Allen and Steinfeld’s courtship was “going really great,” adding, “[They] laugh a ton when they’re together [and] are always smiling.”

Babygirl director Halina Reijn is defending the 29-year age gap between her lead actors, Nicole Kidman and Harris Dickinson.

In an interview with W Magazine published on Wednesday, December 25, Reijn was asked about adding to the pantheon of romantic movies released this year that feature an older woman and a younger man. (Kidman herself starred in Netflix’s A Family Affair with Zac Efron as her love interest, while Anne Hathaway swooned over Nicholas Galitzine in The Idea of You.)

“If we see a movie where the male actor is the same age as the female actor, we find that odd. Which is insane. It should completely be normalized that the age gaps switch and that women have different relationships,” Reijn said. “We’re not trapped in a box anymore. We internalize the male gaze, we internalize patriarchy, and we need to free ourselves from it. It’s really hard.”

In Babygirl, Kidman, 57, plays a CEO who begins a steamy affair with a young intern played by Dickinson, 28.

Everything Nicole Kidman Has Said About Tom Cruise Marriage, Divorce

Babygirl premiered at the Venice International Film Festival in August and Kidman has received critical acclaim for her performance.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter published earlier this month, the Oscar winner recalled being shocked by one early review of the film.

“I think it’s very releasing, this film. I hope it is,” she said. “I’ve had some people say it’s the most disturbing film they’ve ever seen, which I’m like, ‘Oh no, I’m so sorry.’”

For her part, Kidman relished the opportunity to play an older woman who embraced her sensual side.

“A lot of times women are discarded at a certain period of their career as a sexual being. So, it was really beautiful to be seen in this way,” the Oscar winner told THR. “From the minute I read it, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is a voice I haven’t seen, this is a place that I haven’t been, I don’t think audiences have been.’ My character has reached a stage where she’s got all this power, but she’s not sure who she is, what she wants, what she desires, even though she seems to have it all. And I think that’s really relatable.”

Kidman also admitted that she felt it was a “raw and dangerous” film to make.

“I couldn’t believe they were giving us the money to make it,” she said, in part. “The sexuality of it. That it wasn’t written for a 20-year-old. It wasn’t written even for a 30-year-old.”

Kidman’s costar, Dickinson, previously spoke about filming sex scenes with the legendary actress.

“We’d have a discussion with the intimacy coordinator and then Nicole and I kind of did our own thing with it once we set the parameters of what we were both comfortable with,” he told Variety in October. “The intimacy coordinator is saying, ‘What are you comfortable with, what do you want as a director, what are you comfortable doing from that vision?’ They’re facilitating that and doing it very delicately without interrupting the actual scene.”

Keeping things cordial!

Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Teddi Mellencamp, 43, shared a tribute to her estranged husband, Edwin Arroyave, via Instagram two months after announcing their separation.

“16 years ago me and [Edwin] met. I will forever be grateful for that night at Coco Deville,” Mellencamp captioned a series of throwback photos of her and Arroyave, 47, on Thursday, December, 26.

“I would never have known I wanted kids until meeting my amazing stepdaughter, Isabella. My love for her changed my life and 5 years later came Slate, then Cruz, and then our miracle baby Dove in 2020,” the “Two Ts in a Pod” podcast host continued.

She concluded, “I may be far from perfect but being a mother has been the greatest gift you could have given me. Thank you always and forever.”

Mellencamp announced her separation from Arroyave on November 2.

“After a great deal of care and consideration, I have made the difficult decision to file for divorce,” Mellencamp wrote via Instagram. “My priority is my children and ensuring that every care is taken with their privacy and wellbeing throughout this new chapter.”

She added, “Making a public statement is not something I wanted to do, but in an effort to protect my family from undue speculation and rumors, I felt being open, honest and vulnerable was the best path forward.”

'RHOBH' Alum Teddi Mellencamp and Edwin Arroyave's Relationship Timeline

Later in November, Us Weekly reported that Mellencamp allegedly had an affair with her horse trainer, Simon Schroeder, months before separating from Arroyave.

“Simon and Teddi had a thing several months ago but it’s not still happening,” a source exclusively told Us, noting that Teddi and Edwin were both unfaithful to one another during their marriage.

A second insider claimed that Arroyave spoke with Schroeder’s wife, Karli, who “confirmed the affair.”

On Tuesday, December 24, Mellencamp detailed her first Christmas without her kids — Slate, 12, Cruz, 10, and Dove, 4 — as she spent the holidays at former RHOBH costar and pal Kyle Richards’ Beverly Hills home. (Mellencamp revealed earlier this month that she had moved in with Richards following her separation from her ex.)

“In my Bridget Jones era. If I didn’t laugh at myself, I would cry,” Mellencamp wrote alongside several videos of her in her pajamas singing “All By Myself,” channeling a scene from Renée Zellweger’s movie Bridget Jones’s Diary.

Mellencamp opened up about adjusting to her new normal, adding, “First Christmas without my kids, and I know they’re in great hands with an amazing dad, but that doesn’t mean I can’t feel some type of way.”

She concluded: “Ordered $74 of Thai food, eating cookie dough (who has time to bake) and watched 9 episodes of Lioness. To all my parents out there going through this, I love you. What are all the tips for powering through?”

Beyoncé Bowl indeed!

According to Deadline, the “Texas Hold ‘Em” singer’s show-stopping NFL Christmas Gameday halftime performance drew more viewers on Netflix than the two games the streamer aired on Wednesday, December 25.

Viewership for Netflix’s coverage of Wednesday’s Christmas Day football peaked with 27 million viewers for Beyoncé’s set, per the outlet, citing live-plus-same-day data from Nielsen, which tracks U.S. television viewership. The performance featured guests including Post Malone, Shaboozey and Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s daughter, Blue Ivy, 12.

Meanwhile, the Kansas City Chiefs vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game, which opened the day, drew 24.1 million viewers. The second game, the Baltimore Ravens vs. the Houston Texans, had 24.3 million viewers. (The Chiefs beat the Steelers 29-10, while the Ravens beat the Texans 31-2.)

Post Malone and More Stars Share Their Love for Beyonce’s ‘Cowboy Carter’

During Wednesday’s Chiefs vs. Steelers game, man of the moment Travis Kelce, 35, scored his third touchdown of the NFL season, overtaking Tony Gonzalez’s overall record for the most receiving touchdowns in KC history.

“It’s everything to me. Tony’s been a mentor to me, he’s been there right there for me [with] any questions I’ve ever had,” Kelce said in a postgame interview. “I feel like I’m still trying to fill that guy’s shoes. He’s such an unbelievable competitor and I’ve got so much love for him. It’s an honor to be in conversations with him.”

Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, showed her love for the tight end by dropping a “like” on a Chiefs Instagram post celebrating Kelce’s achievement.

For many, however, the highlight of the day was Beyoncé’s first live performance of music from her country album, Cowboy Carter, released in March.

Beyoncé arrived on the stage via horseback, galloping past a garage of vintage cars while wearing a white oversized fur coat with a coordinating cowboy hat and a diamond choker necklace. After renditions of “16 Carriages” and “Black Bird,” the singing icon strutted onto the field for a showstopping performance of “Ya Ya,” changing into a sequined bodysuit. Beyoncé also sang “RIIVERDANCE” with Shaboozey, “LEVII’S Jeans” with Post Malone (sitting in a denim-covered truck), “Jolene” and “Texas Hold ‘Em” featuring 12-year-old daughter Blue Ivy joining the backing dancers.

“It’s only right that we do ‘Texas Hold ‘Em’ for the first time in Houston, Texas on Christmas,” Beyoncé quipped in her introduction before concluding, “Merry Christmas, God bless y’all.”

While singing “Black Bird,” Beyoncé was joined by Tanner Adell, Brittney Spencer, Tiera Kennedy and Reyna Roberts, all of whom were featured on the LP.

Blake Lively’s A Simple Favor 2 costar Michele Morrone said she seemed in “pain” after her experience on the set of It Ends With Us.

The Italian actor and model, 34, shared a video via his Instagram Stories on Monday, December 23, expressing his support for Lively, 37, amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.

“It’s usually not my thing to make those kinds of videos, but I think it’s time to stand up for a person I really love and this person is Blake Lively,” Morrone said.

The 365 Days star continued, “I personally met Blake during A Simple Favor 2. We shot this incredible film together and I felt something was wrong, and I felt the pain … We had the opportunity to talk, me and her, [and] Blake was in pain.” (A Simple Favor 2 was filmed this past spring, per Deadline, while It Ends With Us began filming in May 2023 and resumed in January following the SAG-AFTRA strike.)

Everything Justin Baldoni Has Said About Working With Blake Lively

Morrone said he was “really tired” of seeing “cruel and bad comments” about Lively “without knowing the situation.” He linked to a New York Times article published Saturday, December 21, detailing Lively’s catalog of complaints against Baldoni, 40, on the set of It Ends With Us, which he asked fans to read “to make you understand, before commenting, what happened.”

“Blake, I love you so much. Keep it up and we’re going to see each other very soon. Love you,” the actor concluded.

Lively, 37, filed a complaint against Baldoni with the California Civil Complaints Department on Friday, December 20, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of their recent Colleen Hoover adaptation. She also claimed Baldoni was behind a digital smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

The lawsuit, obtained by Us Weekly after it first reported by TMZ and The New York Times, stated that a meeting was held during the film’s production in January to address Lively’s claims against her costar that included, “No more showing nude videos or images of women to Blake, no more mention of Baldoni’s alleged previous ‘pornography addiction,’ no more discussions about sexual conquests in front of Blake and others, no further mentions of cast and crew’s genitalia, no more inquiries about Blake’s weight, and no further mention of Blake’s dead father.”

Baldoni has vehemently denied the allegations against him. In a statement to Us, Baldoni’s lawyer Bryan Freedman called Lively’s claims “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious,” alleging she filed the lawsuit to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” about the film’s production. He claimed Lively made “multiple demands and threats,” which included “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Lively reprises her role in A Simple Favor 2, a sequel to her hit 2018 crime thriller costarring Anna Kendrick, which is due for release next year.

On Sunday, December 22, the film’s director, Paul Feig, also expressed his support for Lively.

“I’ve now made two movies with Blake and all I can say is she’s one of the most professional, creative, collaborative, talented and kind people I’ve ever worked with,” Feig shared via X.

Feig added, “She truly did not deserve any of this smear campaign against her. I think it’s awful she was put through this.”

Lively has also received support from Hoover, the author of the novel It Ends With Us is based on, and Sony Pictures, the studio that released the film.

Alec Baldwin will no longer face charges over the October 2021 shooting of Rust cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Special prosecutor Kari T. Morrissey said Monday, December 23, that an appeal to reinstate charges against the actor, 66, has been dropped due to lack of support from the New Mexico district attorney’s office, per The New York Times and CBS News.

The prosecution’s previous case against Baldwin fell apart at trial in July when his lawyers successfully argued that the prosecution withheld evidence potentially linked to the case.

“The state’s efforts to continue to litigate the case in a fair and comprehensive manner have been met with multiple barriers that have compromised its ability to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law,” Morrissey said in a news release, per the New York Times.

Alec Baldwin's Biggest Scandals and Controversies Through the Years

“The appeal would have challenged the Court’s dismissal of criminal charges against Producer and Actor, Alec Baldwin which included involuntary manslaughter in the tragic shooting of Cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust on October 21, 2021,” a statement issued by the New Mexico First Judicial District Attorney’s Office said.

“The FJDA commends Morrissey for her work in prosecuting two cases of such magnitude and national attention, including the successful prosecution against Hannah Gutierrez Reed. The FJDA supports the Hutchins’ family and their continued fight for justice in civil court,” the statement added, per CBS News.

Baldwin’s attorneys, Luke Nikas and Alex Spiro, said the decision “to dismiss the appeal is the final vindication of what Alec Baldwin and his attorneys have said from the beginning — this was an unspeakable tragedy but Alec Baldwin committed no crime. The rule of law remains intact in New Mexico.”

Baldwin has yet to comment publicly on the decision but on Monday shared a link to a New York Times article about it via X.

Hutchins was killed and Rust director Joel Souza was injured as the result of a prop gun containing a real bullet being fired on set in October 2021. Hutchins’ family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against Baldwin in February 2022 and settled with the Emmy winner that October.

Two 'Rust' Shooting Documentaries Are in the Works

Baldwin, who denied pulling the trigger, was later charged with two counts of involuntary manslaughter in January 2023 and pleaded not guilty one month later. The criminal charges were dropped in April 2023. However, he was indicted for involuntary manslaughter a second time earlier this year and headed to trial in July.

The case was dismissed by First Judicial District Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer in July. Sommer agreed with Baldwin’s lawyers that prosecutors hid evidence that may have been linked to the fatal shooting.

“There is no way for the court to right this wrong,” Sommer told the court, per NBC News. “The sanction of dismissal is the only warranted remedy.” The dismissal was with prejudice, which meant the involuntary manslaughter case against Baldwin could not be filed again, however, Morrissey sought to appeal that decision.

The film’s armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in March and sentenced to 18 months in prison. Her attorneys’ appeal for a new trial was denied in September.

Blake Lively’s brother-in-law, Bart Johnson, has hit out at “fraud” Justin Baldoni.

The High School Musical actor, who is married to Lively’s sister, Robyn Lively, took to X on Monday, December 23, to share his candid thoughts on Baldoni amid Blake’s sexual harassment lawsuit against her It Ends With Us director and costar.

“He’s a fraud. He puts on the ‘costume’ of a hero, man bun and all,” Johnson, 54, shared.

“Used all of the trendy catchphrases & buzz words for his podcasts,” he continued, referring to Baldoni’s podcast, “Man Enough,” on which the actor and director tackles themes such as toxic masculinity, mental health and gender disparity.

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

According to Johnson, “None of it’s genuine. It’s all theater. And everyone fell for it. For years. Rewatch his videos with a more critical eye and watch him compliment and praise himself with faux humility and self-deprecation. What a performance.”

Blake, 37, filed a complaint against Baldoni, 40, with the California Civil Complaints Department on Friday, December 20, accusing Baldoni of sexual harassment on the set of their recent Colleen Hoover adaptation. She also claimed Baldoni was behind a digital smear campaign to tarnish her reputation.

In a statement to Us Weekly on Saturday, December 21, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said Blake’s accusations were “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” Freedman claimed that Blake sued to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the film’s production. Freedman further alleged that Blake made “multiple demands and threats” while filming It Ends With Us, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

Johnson — best known as Coach Bolton in the High School Musical films — previously supported his sister-in-law on Saturday after news of the lawsuit went public.

“Her complaints were filed during the filming. On record. Long before the public conflict. The cast unfollowed him for a reason,” Johnson alleged in the comments section of The New York Times’ Instagram post about Blake’s lawsuit “Read this article before spiting [sic] ignorance.”

“His PR team was stellar. Gross and disgusting but highly effective,” Johnson continued. “Read the article, their text message exchanges and his PR campaign strategy to bury her by any means necessary. No one is with out [sic] faults. But the public got played.”

Celebs Who Have Spoken Out About Blake Lively, Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Johnson claimed that “of course mistakes were made” and pointed to Blake’s many responsibilities, including being a mom of four to her and husband Ryan Reynolds’ children.

“But just IMAGINE being a stay at home mom raising 4 kids, married to the busiest man in Hollywood and at the same time being a girl boss running multiple companies while writing, producing, running non profits and working 16+ hour days from home so you can be with your kids,” he wrote. “Launching 2 new businesses you been working on / developing for many years (launch scheduled by distributors, not you, btw) all while getting attacked by a VERY expensive PR smear campaign because you filed a sexual harassment claim for the very film you have to go out and promote with just the right tone or you get cooked!?”

Johnson noted that it looks like Blake is “doing a hell of a job to me and trying to do good things for the right reasons.”

“But yeah let’s post from our couch how much we hate her for making mistakes,” he continued. “That makes sense. I mean, she’s been rude in these interviews that magically played on repeat. I saw it. None of us have ever been wrong or mean. Never. We should discount decades of good for those few bad moments. Glad the microscope isn’t on me every day of my life.”

Johnson’s wife, Robyn, supported her sister via social media on Saturday. “FINALLY justice for my sister @blakelively,” Robyn, 52, wrote via her Instagram Story, sharing screenshots of a New York Times article about the lawsuit.

Tallulah Willis is engaged!

Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ youngest daughter announced her engagement to musician Justin Acee via Instagram on Monday, December 23.

Tallulah, 30, and Acee shared pictures and videos of Monday’s sweet proposal, including snaps of her diamond engagement ring. In one picture, her hand is entwined around Acee’s, while a video shows the sweet scene for the proposal: a series of rose petals and candles in the shape of an arrow leading into a living room adorned with lit-up Christmas trees. “We did it! It was a team effort,” Acee can be heard saying.

Tallulah also celebrated her engagement with a cute snap with her mom’s famous Chihuahua, Pilaf, holding Moore’s pet dog in front of her face and flashing her engagement ring.

Earlier Monday, Tallulah shared images from her family Christmas celebrations in Idaho via her Instagram Stories, tagging Acee, Moore and her older sisters, Rumer, 36, and Scout, 33, in a video in which Acee and Moore can be seen decorating a Christmas tree.

Rumer reposted Tallulah’s engagement announcement via her own Instagram Story and wrote, “Baby Sis is Engaged! Love you so much [Justin and Tallulah].” She also commented on Tallulah and Acee’s joint post, “The most beautiful love to witness and watch grow. I love you both so much. Justin, I’m so lucky I get to call you my brother. Baby Lula my gift my queen my heart is so full. Obsessed with you both.”

Scout posted her own pictures of Acee’s proposal to her younger sister via Instagram Stories, writing, “My angels are ENGAGED!”

Vanessa Morgan and Basketball Player James Karnik Are Engaged

Tallulah was previously engaged to director Dillon Buss, with whom she announced her engagement in May 2021. However, she shared in a June 2023 essay for Vogue that they had broken up a year before.

It’s unclear when Tallulah and Acee began dating, but earlier this year, Tallulah starred in a music video for Acee’s song “Ugly Truth,” which he released under his stage name, Nighties. “Lulah and I had such a blast making this. Not only did we get to make something special together, but we were blessed to work alongside SOOO many talented creatives. There’s a lot more I could say but we’ll let the video speak for itself. I love you all,” he wrote via Instagram alongside a clip from the video.

Tallulah Willis Reveals She Was Recently Diagnosed With Autism

Tallulah has also been open about supporting her father through his frontotemporal dementia diagnosis in 2023. Frontotemporal dementia affects the brain and is “associated with personality, behavior and language,” according to the Mayo Clinic. Bruce’s family first publicly shared details of his health issues in 2022.

In August, Tallulah spoke about how special her visits with Bruce, 69, are to her amid his health condition and the importance of maintaining a “connection.”

“Our visits have so much love and I feel that,” Tallulah told E! News. “And that overarches anything for me — being able to have that connection.”

She continued, “I know he knows how much I love him. I know how much he loves me. I know how much he loves all of us.”

Blake Lively is receiving more support amid her sexual harassment lawsuit against It Ends With Us director and costar Justin Baldoni.

Everything Justin Baldoni Has Said About Working With Blake Lively

Since news of the lawsuit broke on Saturday, December 21, various people have come out in support of Lively, including her Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants costars America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel.

“As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,” the trio wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram on Sunday, December 22.

What 'It Ends With Us' Cast Has Said About Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni

The actresses continued, “Throughout the filming of It Ends with Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice. Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.”

“Blake Lively you have been nothing but honest, kind, supportive and patient since the day we met,” shared Hoover, the author of It Ends With Us, via social media Sunday. “Thank you for being exactly the human that you are. Never change. Never wilt.”

Taylor Swift is making a young fan’s day just before Christmas!

Earlier this month, the pop star, 35, visited sick pediatric patients at the Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City ahead of the holidays, and one young girl, named Naya, took a liking to Swift’s outfit. “Thank you for saying my outfit was tea,” Swift told Naya while signing a copy of her Eras Tour Book during the December 12 visit, as documented by Naya via TikTok.

Well, fast forward to just a week later, and now Naya can dress exactly like Swift. In a video shared via TikTok on Sunday, December 22, Naya unboxed a special Christmas gift from Swift revealed to be the exact same coordinated Miu Miu ensemble Swift wore for the occasion. The set retails at $2,250 for the plaid shirt worn by the star, and an additional $2,250 to complete the look with a matching pleated tartan skirt.

Naya also shared a handwritten note from Swift, which read, “When you asked where I got it, I purposely didn’t tell you because I had a plan Picked you up a few things I hope you’ll think are tea. Ha. Merry Christmas, Love Taylor.”

“I like Travis now,” a child told Swift, according to a fan video shared via X.

Swift didn’t skip a beat as she signed a copy of her Eras Tour book for the patient, replying, “Yes, me too. That’s an absolute yes on that one.”

The Grammy winner asked if the Chiefs tight end was the child’s “favorite player,” to which the young girl replied, “Yeah. Either [him] or Patrick,” referring to the team’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes.

“Good. These are good answers,” Swift said with a smile. “You are acing this!”

According to social media posts from Children’s Mercy Hospital workers and patients’ families, Swift visited the location to talk with pediatric patients and brighten their spirits.

“This morning, day #6 of Baylee in the hospital we had the coolest, most unexpected surprise ever.. (with like 2 minutes warning),” Melissa Nuzum, a mom of one of the children, wrote via Facebook. “TAYLOR SWIFT came to visit impatient children today and Baylee was chosen since she requests Taylor songs during her uncomfortable procedures!”

The woman shared photos of Swift making silly faces with her daughter and spending time in her room. “Ya’ll she is amazing! On top of her sheer beauty, she was just as kind and personable and down to earth,” she gushed. “She gave Baylee a signed copy of her Eras Tour book and accepted a gift from Baylee (a diamond art picture) as well.

Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy appears to be honoring her late boyfriend with a subtle tribute.

Cassidy, 25, shared a photo of herself curling up to her and Payne’s dog, Nala, via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, December 22. In the pic, Cassidy is seen with angel wings tattooed on her index and middle fingers.

The influencer simply posted a red heart emoji over the image, in which Nala can be seen gazing at the camera.

Cassidy and Payne fostered Nala just one month before the One Direction singer died at age 31 after falling from a third-floor hotel room balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on October 16.

“We have a little special guest with us today,” Cassidy said in a September 16 TikTok video introducing her and Payne’s new pet.

Cassidy said in the video that she was “so nervous” to ask Payne to get a dog with her. She said she found a dog shelter near their Miami home and shared that “Liam was totally on board.”

Cassidy and Payne settled on Nala after meeting three different dogs at the shelter, she said. “This dog … we figured was the best fit for us. She’s so sweet. She’s only four months old. She was abandoned by her previous owners and just dumped at the shelter,” Cassidy explained. “We wanted to give her a second chance at a better life.”

Cassidy recently returned to social media with a sweet tribute to Payne following his death.

On December 8, Cassidy shared a compilation video via TikTok of time spent with the late One Direction star. Captioning the post, “I love you,” the influencer began with footage of herself and Payne blowing kisses to the camera before sharing moments from various outings. The couple were also seen dancing together, arms wrapped around one another, in another touching moment.

Quiet moments were also spliced with a series of lighthearted memories, including footage of Payne, who traveled with Cassidy just two weeks before his death, dragging his amused girlfriend’s legs around a kitchen floor and bowling with her.

Editing together one and a half minutes’ worth of footage in total, Cassidy also included clips of Payne goofing around in front of the camera, lounging with her on the couch and sleeping beside her in bed.

The video was set to a 1993 track by Mazzy Star titled “Fade Into You.”

Cassidy, who was first linked to Payne in October 2022, attended Payne’s November 20 funeral in Amersham, England, along with Payne’s former One Direction bandmates, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik. Cheryl Cole, Payne’s ex and the mother of his son Bear, 7, was also there, as were James Corden and Simon Cowell.

Kim Kardashian is turning up the jam once again!

The Kardashians star and Skims cofounder, 44, surprised fans by releasing a cover of Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby” late Sunday, December 22, just in time for Christmas.

Kim’s cover is produced by none other than her brother-in-law, Travis Barker, who is married to Kim’s older sister, Kourtney Kardashian. The song was released via streaming services Sunday through DTA Records, Barker’s record label, and Kim’s Kimsaprincess, Inc.

Kim also dropped an accompanying video for her return to music on Sunday. The dystopian clip features Kim crawling on all fours in a blond wig with money strewn all over the floor, while an eclectic cast of characters appear to celebrate a not-so-cheery Christmas. The video concludes with a closeup shot of a creepy Santa holding a video camera who is revealed to be Macaulay Culkin, star of the iconic holiday movie, Home Alone.

Travis Barker's Quotes About Kim Kardashian Crush Before Kourtney Marriage

“SANTA BABY, FILM DIRECTED BY NADIA LEE COHEN & CHARLIE DENIS, SONG PRODUCED BY TRAVIS BARKER,” Kim shared via X on Sunday along with the unsettling music video.

Kim’s Christmas cover comes 13 years after she made her music debut with the song, “Jam (Turn It Up),” produced by Grammy-winning music producer The-Dream, in 2011. At the time, Kim said she was releasing the track in aid of charity and that she would not be releasing a full-length album.

During an August 2014 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, Kim admitted she regretted her foray into music.

“It’s definitely a memory and it was a fun experience. We gave the proceeds to a cancer organization,” she said. “But if there’s one thing in life that I wish I didn’t do … I don’t like it when people kind of dabble into things they shouldn’t be. And that I don’t think I should have. Like, what gave me the right to think I could be a singer? Like, I don’t have a good voice.”

As well as returning to the recording studio, Kim has been making big strides in Hollywood this year. She is currently filming a new legal drama created by Ryan Murphy for Hulu. All’s Fair, which boasts an all-star cast including Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Glenn Close and more, will premiere in 2025. Kim will also star in and produce a comedy for Netflix titled The Fifth Wheel.

“It’s wonderful,” Paulson praised Kim’s work ethic in an interview with Variety in November. “She’s incredibly present. She’s fun, she’s game, she’s alive to the moment. She’s great.”

Blake Lively’s sisterhood has her back.

On Sunday, December 22, the actress’ Sisterhood of Traveling Pants costars, America Ferrera, Amber Tamblyn and Alexis Bledel, released a statement in support of the star amid her lawsuit against Justin Baldoni.

“As Blake’s friends and sisters for over twenty years, we stand with her in solidarity as she fights back against the reported campaign waged to destroy her reputation,” the trio wrote in a joint statement shared via Instagram after Lively accused Baldoni, 40, of sexual harassment on the set of It Ends With Us, as well as orchestrating a smear campaign against her.

The actresses continued, “Throughout the filming of It Ends with Us, we saw her summon the courage to ask for a safe workplace for herself and colleagues on set, and we are appalled to read the evidence of a premeditated and vindictive effort that ensued to discredit her voice. Most upsetting is the unabashed exploitation of domestic violence survivors’ stories to silence a woman who asked for safety. The hypocrisy is astounding.”

Breaking Down Blake Lively’s Accusations Against Justin Baldoni

“We are struck by the reality that even if a woman is as strong, celebrated, and resourced as our friend Blake, she can face forceful retaliation for daring to ask for a safe working environment,” the trio said. “We are inspired by our sister’s courage to stand up for herself and others.”

The statement concluded, “For anyone seeking more information or engaging in this important conversation online, please read the full legal complaint in the investigative reporting by Megan Twohey, Mike McIntire, and Julie Tate for the New York Times.”

Lively, 37, starred alongside Ferrera, 40, Tamblyn, 41, and Bledel, 43, in 2005’s The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants and its 2008 sequel amid her rise to stardom on Gossip Girl.

Tamblyn shared a personal note via her Instagram Stories on Sunday, saying she was a “confidant” to Lively amid the alleged on-set struggles she experienced while making It Ends With Us.

“I remember how incredibly painful it was for her,” Tamblyn wrote. “I’m glad all of this has come to light with solid reporting and receipts,” she continued, directing her followers to The New York Times’ coverage of the lawsuit.

In a lawsuit filed with the California Civil Complaints Department on Friday, December 20, Lively accused Baldoni, her It Ends With Us costar and director, of sexual harassment on the set of the film and conducting a “social manipulation” campaign to damage her reputation.

All the Celebs Mentioned in Justin Baldoni's Alleged Blake Lively Takedown

In a statement to Us Weekly, Baldoni’s lawyer, Bryan Freedman, said Lively’s accusations were “completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious.” Freedman claimed that Lively sued to “fix her negative reputation” and “rehash a narrative” regarding the film’s production. Freedman further alleged that Lively made “multiple demands and threats” while filming It Ends With Us, including “threatening to not show up to set, threatening to not promote the film, ultimately leading to its demise during release, if her demands were not met.”

In a statement to The New York Times published Saturday, December 21, Lively denied any involvement in spreading negative information about Baldoni. “I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted,” she said.

Killa Trav has some killer moves.

The Kansas City Chiefs celebrated their star tight end, Travis Kelce, on Wednesday, December 18, by sharing a TikTok video of Kelce showing off his dance moves on the field.

In the clip, Kelce, 35, can be seen shaking his tailfeather in full Chiefs uniform and helmet.

“One thing about Killa Trav… he LOVES a little dancey dance ,” the Chiefs’ account captioned the post.

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.

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.

Shakira Felt 'Free' to Make Music Again After Gerard Pique Split

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 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.

“I feel like we captured a very accurate representation of how each of the girls feel about getting another sister,” Kylie, 32, wrote via Instagram on Friday, November 22, alongside a photo of the couple’s three children wearing matching sweaters that read, “Big sister.” She added, “At least Ellie, mom and dad are on the same page! .”

In the snap, their youngest daughter, Bennett, is crying, while the eldest, Wyatt, is holding her hands over her ears in shock. Elliotte, nicknamed “Ellie,” however, is all smiles.

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.”

“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.

Benny Blanco is still on cloud nine.

The record producer, 36, took to his Instagram Stories on Wednesday, December 18, to relive his proposal to actress and singer Selena Gomez. Resharing Gomez’s December 11 Instagram post announcing their engagement, he wrote, “Still can’t believe it!”

Gomez, 32, shared news of her engagement earlier this month by posting a series of photos from the elaborate proposal Blanco set up for her. She captioned the post, “Forever begins now.” The pictures show the Golden Globe nominee showing off her marquise diamond engagement ring and cuddling up to Blanco. Another snap shows the scene for the proposal — a cute picnic set-up with Gomez sitting on a blanket surrounded by snacks from Taco Bell.

Blanco wrote in the comments section, “Hey wait… that’s my wife.”

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's Relationship Timeline

Gomez first confirmed her relationship with Blanco in December 2023, revealing that they had been together for “six months.”

“He is my absolute everything in my heart,” she wrote in an Instagram comment at the time. “He [has] been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. The end. … He’s still better than anyone I’ve been with. Facts.”

The following month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Gomez had “never been with anyone like” Blanco.

“She loves how Benny treats her: he’s so kind and thoughtful,” the insider said in January. “It’s been a very long time since friends saw Selena this happy. She’s positively glowing.”

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.”

As for Blanco, he expressed his enthusiasm over his romance with Gomez in May. “I wake up every day and I look in the mirror, and I’m like, ‘How did this happen?’” he quipped on Today With Hoda & Jenna at the time. “But until anyone figures it out, weeeee!”

Prior to her engagement to Blanco, Gomez dated Justin Bieber on and off from 2010 to 2018 and The Weeknd in 2017.

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.

Taylor Swift Hugs Pregnant Brittany Mahomes on US Open Double Date

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.”

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.”

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.”

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].”

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!”
