OnlyFans star Lily Philips is laughing off claims that her pregnancy is fake.

Philips, 23, was spotted out with friends in West Hollywood on Friday, February 21, per a video shared by TMZ, where she was asked about mounting online speculation that she is lying about her pregnancy. When asked by a photographer if the pregnancy was indeed fake, she said, “No.”

Philips, who was dressed in a black off-the-shoulder catsuit, and her friends got a good laugh out of the question. One of her companions responded to the photographer by saying, “She’s pregnant, leave her alone,” adding, “She’s having my baby,” which was met with giggles from the group.

The British influencer seemingly announced her pregnancy via Instagram on Tuesday, February 18, when she posted two photos, one of which featured Phillips cradling a rather large baby bump, while the second showed two positive pregnancy tests.

Lily Phillips Found a Condom 'Inside' Her Days After Sleeping With 101 Men

“The secret is out💗💙,” Phillips captioned her post. “Baby Phillips 2025.”

While social media users flocked to Philips’ comment section to speculate on the truth of the announcement, multiple U.K. outlets reported that Phillips’ pregnancy is not real. The Mirror reported on Thursday, February 20, that her pregnancy was part of a “role play” for “her job.” This news appeared to come from a source, though a separate outlet shared a similar quote, claiming it was a rep statement.

Philips made headlines last year after she slept with 100 men in one day, an experience she later detailed in a December 2024 YouTube documentary.

“It’s not for the weak. If I’m honest, it was hard. I don’t know if I’d recommend it,” she said at the time. “Just one in and one out, it feels intense.” Since then, Philips has shared her plans to be the first person to sleep with 1,000 people in 24 hours.

OnlyFans Star Bonnie Blue Addresses Pregnancy Rumors

The content creator has been open about the possibility of one day becoming a parent, speaking about the prospect as a guest on “The Shizzio Show” podcast last month.

“I would want children, but definitely later down the line,” she said in January. “I know with that comes a lot of backlash. I understand that. … I think when I started doing [OnlyFans], I didn’t want kids at the time, and so, it wasn’t a problem to me ‘cause I thought through all this.”

She added, “I knew if I started this I wouldn’t be able to get a normal job and it would affect my family’s life and my kids’ life and stuff like that. I think over the past year or two, I’ve started to get a little bit more broody and want kids.”

Philips noted, however, that she’s not worried about her future children learning about her OnlyFans career. “The thing is you can’t live for a future that hasn’t even happened yet,” she said, adding that she wasn’t “going to put my unborn child before my own needs.”

“I do get that my own kids will be scrutinized so much and … I’d like to think I’d do as much to protect my kids as possible,” she concluded.

Salma Hayek is celebrating stepdaughter Mathilde Pinault on her birthday.

“Happy Birthday Tildie 🎂, Wishing you a year as bright, beautiful, and full of promise as you are,” Hayek, 58, wrote via Instagram on Thursday, February 20, alongside several sweet photos of the actress and her stepdaughter, including a throwback photo from when Mathilde and daughter Valentina, 17, were children.

“So proud of the woman you’ve become!” Hayek’s heartfelt message continued. “We love you @mathildepinault ♥.”

Hayek and Mathilde stepped out together last year for the 60th annual Venice Biennale for the event’s Fondazione Cini, Isola Di San Giorgio gala dinner in Italy. The stepmother-stepdaughter duo stunned in sparkling gowns, with Hayek donning a bright blue fitted number with a plunging sweetheart neckline. Meanwhile, Mathilde dazzled in a sparkling silver dress adorned with tassels.

Salma Hayek and Daughter Valentina's Best Moments Through the Years

Mathilde, 24, is the daughter of Hayek’s husband, François-Henri Pinault, whom she married in 2009. Pinault was already a father of three by the time they met. Pinault shares Mathilde with ex wife Dorothée Lepère, along with son François, whom the pair welcomed in 1998. Pinault also shares a son Augustin, born in 2006, with model Linda Evangelista. Hayek and Pinault welcomed Valentina together in 2007.

“I had a child late in life,” Hayek said to Red magazine about being a mother in 2017, noting at the time that she “identified” with her character in the 2015 film Tale of Tales who had a “desperate desire to have a child and maybe feeling that you could never be happy or complete, that your life is not complete, without this.”

She continued, “I’ve had that yearning, that longing, and that pain… I always wanted to have a lot of children, and I was not able to. My body, as a miracle, had one. The huge blessing I’ve had is that my husband has three other children. So I have four. And they are all so different.”

Hayek takes her role as a step mom seriously, previously gushing over her stepson Augustin for his 18th birthday in October 2024.

“Your gentle heart is like healing caress in our lives because you bring warmth and light to everyone around you,” her post continued. “Keep bringing the laughter and joy. We love you so much.”

What to Know About Justin Baldoni's Baha’i Faith Amid Blake Lively Drama

Explaining Justin Baldonis Bahai Religion That Allegedly Played a Part in Blake Lively Legal Drama

Director Justin Baldoni’s religious beliefs are reportedly playing a part in his ongoing legal drama with It Ends With Us costar Blake Lively.

Baldoni, 41, is a member of the Baha’i faith, a religion founded in the 19th century that focuses on the unity of humanity and the elimination of prejudice. Both of the directors’ parents converted to Baha’i before he was born. His religious beliefs, however, allegedly played a role in the on set drama between him and Lively, 37, during the production of It Ends With Us.

In Lively’s initial December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni, the actress claimed she felt “alarmed” upon learning the actor cast as the doctor in her character’s birth scene, Adam Mondschein, was Baldoni’s “best friend.” A feature published by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday, February 21, noted that Mondschein, like Baldoni, was a member of the Baha’i community as well. (Lively’s December 2024 sexual harassment lawsuit against Baldoni does not mention the religion by name.)

Per THR, a source who worked on Baldoni’s 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed the director “talk[ed] about his religion a lot” on set, adding, “This had shades of Scientology but with less of the prominence and people hovering at all times.”

Baldoni’s response to the allegations here – can be one or two sentences max

Keep scrolling to find out more about the Baháʼí Faith:

When Did Bahá’í Start?

The Baha’i Faith was established in Iran under the Universal House of Justice in 1963, the same year that founder Baháʼu’lláh claimed to be the prophet foretold by the Báb, an Iranian religious leader who died in 1850. Per the religion’s official website, the origins of the Baha’i Faith began in 1819, the same year the Báb was born.

The Bahá’í World News Service reports that there are currently more than 5 million members around the world. Besides Baldoni, other Bahá’í celebrities include Rainn Wilson and Penn Badgley.

What Is the Universal House of Justice?

Established in 1963, the Universal House of Justice is the elected head and international governing council of the Baháʼí Faith. The functions of the body are defined by Baháʼu’lláh, which cover how to implement Baháʼí laws, teaching and education, addressing social issues and taking care of the weak and poor.

Per the official website, the Universal House of Justice “is charged with applying the Bahá’í teachings to the requirements of an ever-evolving society.” Baháʼu’lláh’s guidelines for the council — the members of which are elected — were further clarified by his son, Abdu’l-Bahá, after his death, who wrote that the “equality of men and women is an established fact.”

Despite the so-called established fact, the website notes that membership for the Universal House of Justice is men only.

“While this may be surprising, it is a provision that was ordained by Bahá’u’lláh Himself,” it reads. “Abdu’l-Bahá has stated that its wisdom will be clearly understood in the future. Because the Bahá’í Writings are filled with unequivocal statements about the equality of men and women, however, the question of male membership of the Universal House of Justice can in no way be regarded as a sign of the superiority of men over women.”

What Do Baha’is believe?

A pillar of the Baha’i Faith focuses on teaching the essential worth of all religions and the unity of all people. Per the official website’s overview, their beliefs address what are called “essential themes” including the “oneness” of God, religion and humanity, harmony between religion and science, equality of the sexes and the importance of education.

Bahá’ís also believe in the “inherent nobility of the human being,” the “development of spiritual qualities,” the “integration of worship and service,” with particular importance paid to the “dynamics of the relationships that are to bind together individuals, communities, and institutions as humanity advances towards its collective maturity.”

What do Bahá’ís do?

For a Bahá’í, the purpose of the faith is to “inspire individuals and communities as they work to improve their own lives and contribute to the advancement of civilization,” per the website, which also states that many followers have “sought to apply Bahá’í principles to their lives and work.”

Bahá’ís are encouraged to better their communities, sometimes through volunteering and outreach, all with the intention of “serving humanity and refining their inner lives.” A lot of focus is paid on the betterment of the “human soul” and working toward the “realization of Bahá’u’lláh’s stupendous vision for humanity’s coming of age.”

Additionally, as part of their devotion, followers are encouraged to take a pilgrimage to the religion’s holy site in Haifa, Israel. Baldoni shared a snapshot from his own pilgrimage via Instagram in December 2022, writing, “So grateful to be back in Haifa visiting the #bahai holy land on a three day pilgrimage. Praying in the Shrines of `Abdu’l-Bahá and The Báb was the spiritual cleanse I needed. Overflowing with gratitude tonight.”

Do Bahá’ís Pray?

Pilgrimages and prayer is integral to the Bahá’í Faith, “whether at the level of the individual, the community, or the institutions.” Followers are encouraged to “turn their hearts in prayer to God repeatedly throughout the day.”

The official site notes that “in addition, meetings of consultation and gatherings where friends have come together to undertake one or another project commonly begin and end with prayers.” Bahá’ís also host gatherings and “devotional meetings” for friends and other Bahá’ís to “unite together in prayer, often in one another’s homes,” which are meant to “serve to awaken spiritual susceptibilities within the participants, and in concert with the acts of service they perform, lead to a pattern of community life that is infused with the spirit of devotion and focused on the attainment of spiritual and material prosperity.”

According to The Hollywood Reporter’s Friday feature, a source who previously worked with Baldoni on the 2019 film Five Feet Apart claimed they had “never worked with a male director who was so worried about everyone’s emotional and mental well-being.” The source stated Baldoni had an “openness and emotionality to his style that was more typical of a woman, and it probably wouldn’t be an issue if it was a [female director] because of the preconceived notions of gender.”

However, other sources told the outlet that because Baldoni was both leading man and director of It Ends With Us, the influence of his religion on set was more pronounced, allegedly leading crew members in prayer on the first day of production where he would “ask God for guidance” before making creative decisions.

Cecily Strong flaunted her baby bump for Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary.

Strong, 40, showed off her pregnant belly on the red carpet for SNL’s 50th anniversary special on Sunday, February 16, held in Studio 8H at 30 Rock in New York City. The SNL alum held her bump as she posed for photos and stunned in a black gown with dramatic floor-length sleeves.

Strong announced last year that she was expecting her first child with her fiancé, Jack. “A couple years ago I did a piece on SNL as Goober the Clown who had an abortion the day before her 23rd birthday,” Strong wrote via Instagram in November 2024. “I’m happy to report that same clown is now very happily pregnant from IVF at 40.”

She continued, “I’ve been in lots of waiting rooms with other women throughout my life. Feeling terrified and lonely all those years ago at a clinic in California, to feeling frustrated and anxious in fertility offices in New York the past couple of years, to giddily talking everyone’s ear off and wishing everyone around me good luck like I was Forrest Gump the day of my transfer.”

At the time, the actress further opened up about her experience with pregnancy, which included an abortion in her early 20s, as well as seeking in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment later in life. However, Strong noted that she was “really hopeful” to meet her baby “next spring.”

During a March 2024 appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Strong revealed that she and longtime partner Jack had gotten engaged at the end of 2023. She admitted that, while the proposal was intended to be a surprise, it wound up being spoiled.

“One day he was like, ‘I’m so inundated with emails and texts, look at this. ‘And he showed me his phone, and the first text was from a friend that said, ‘How did it go?! Ring emoji,’” Strong recalled. “And then, I was like, ‘Oh no, should I?’ And he went, ‘Did you see that?’ And I was like, ‘I could try very hard to lie, but…’ So then I knew.”

Harry, 40, and Trudeau, 53, were spotted watching indoor rowing together at the Invictus Games on Sunday, February 16, at the Vancouver Convention Center (VCC), per a video exclusively obtained by Us Weekly. After the pair embraced, they were seen chatting animatedly as they observed the match.

Trudeau and Harry previously met several times during the 2017 Invictus Games, which were held in Toronto, Canada, and cheered on competitors side-by-side.

Trudeau’s attendance at the 2025 games comes over one month after he announced his resignation as Prime Minister of Canada and the leader of the ruling Liberal Party. “I intend to resign as party leader, as prime minister, after the party selects its new leader,” the politician said in a statement on January 6, per CNN. Canada’s parliament is suspended until March 24 when a new leader is chosen.

The Duke of Sussex is hosting the 2025 games in both Vancouver and Whistler, Canada, from its opening ceremony on February 8 until the closing ceremony on Sunday, February 16. Harry founded the competition for injured, wounded or sick servicemen in 2014. This year, around 550 athletes from 25 nations competed in a variety of sports, including wheelchair curling, wheelchair basketball, alpine skiing, sitting volleyball and indoor rowing.

 

Harry himself is a veteran, having served 10 years in the British Army before marrying Meghan Markle in 2018.

“He truly understands,” Invictus athlete James Phelps, who competed in the skeleton biathlon, wheelchair rugby and wheelchair basketball, exclusively told Us during the games while at the Vancouver Convention Center on Saturday, February 15. “Like, he’s been through situations like most of us here have, so just the genuine nature of him putting this together for people who have been through similar things.”

James, 44, told Us that Harry was “on the Apache squadron” when he visited one of “our sites” while they were both deployed in Afghanistan in 2012.

Prince Harry’s Invictus Games ‘Extraordinary,’ CEO Says

“We were working with search and rescue helicopters,” James explained. “So he came over and just did a tour of our squadron and stuff — taking pictures and things. [He was just] a regular, genuine guy. This was 2012 — we had a big attack at Camp Bastion. It was September 2012.”

Speaking exclusively to Us, CEO of the Invictus Games Foundation Dominic Reid called Harry’s “commitment” to the games “unparalleled,” noting, “He’s very good at work.”

“One of my most proud and extraordinary, biggest moments, was that we briefed the military committee of NATO,” Reid told Us. “And so there I was in that big oval room, and he joined by video link, and he said something very profound. He said — and I think it took everybody slightly by surprise — that the Invictus Games, deployment of the games [sic] was really important for him, his recovery too. I think we’re all in this together. You know, I made some remarks about my journey, and I wasn’t injured. I wasn’t deployed in combat, but this has been extraordinary for all of us. So, you know, he’s 100% committed.”

Love Island star Maura Higgins has accused Pete Wicks of cheating amid their rumored breakup.

Higgins, 34, enjoyed a night out with friends on Friday, February 14, per several red hot photos shared via her Instagram. “Left on Red 💌,” she captioned the post. While out to dinner at Sheesh in London on Friday, the Love Island star was asked by photographers about Wicks’ whereabouts that evening.

“Dunno, probably cheating,” Higgins replied, according to a video obtained by The Sun. Higgins and Wicks reportedly split in February 2025 after first being linked in June of last year, per The Independent, following her appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! At the same time, Wicks was competing on the show Strictly Come Dancing.

Higgins, for her part, rose to prominence after she was introduced as a bombshell on the fifth season of ITV’s reality television series Love Island in 2019, for which she was a finalist. Higgins’ comment about Wicks, 37, comes after he gushed over his fellow reality television star last month while appearing on an episode of the “We Need to Talk” podcast.

“We have the same sense of humor, she’s super intelligent and I think that is sometimes what people don’t realize about Maura,” he said during the January 20 episode. “She’s incredibly witty and we have always been there for each other in the past six years at a distance where we have always kind of been friends and been there for each other and whatever else.”

He added, “And that I mean is different now.”

Wicks, known for his appearance on shows like TOWIE and The Only Way Is Essex, also noted that he’s since made the conscious decision not to make so many details about his personal life public.

“I’m at a different stage in my life now where the points that always made me known, which was always my relationship or the drama and the reality background, is not something that I am really doing anymore,” he explained.

‘Love Island U.K.’ Couples: Where Are They Now?

Earlier this week, MailOnline reported that Higgins and Wicks had “decided to call off their romance,” per an insider, after there had “been a few clashes” and it was “eventually agreed they were better off as friends.”

The alleged source further claimed, “Those closest to them know it’s been a very on and off relationship, which is why they were so resistant to go public in the first place. They remain close and share a deep connection.”

Draven Bennington, child of late Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington, has come out as transgender.

“Happy Valentine’s Day,” Draven, 21 (who uses she/her pronouns), wrote in a heartfelt post shared via Instagram on Friday, February 14. “As today is a day to celebrate love and what love truly means, whether it’s for a partner, family, or ourselves, I thought it would be the perfect time to show some love to myself.”

Chester, who died in 2017 at age 41, welcomed Draven in 2002 with ex Samantha Bennington, to whom he was married from 1996 to 2005.

Draven continued, “For a long time, I tried to be someone, someone I truly wasn’t on the inside. Ignoring it worked for a while, but continuously coming to the crossroads of being happy or being complacent was one I couldn’t keep crossing.” She revealed that in August 2024, she “decided to take the path of happiness and being true to myself.”

“I came out as transgender and started hormone replacement therapy, and it has been the best decision I’ve ever made in my life,” Draven continued. “I do have to say I am very blessed to be able to do this, as well as having such supportive family and friends. I love each and every one of you who have shown nothing but love and respect and see me for who I truly am.”

Draven took a moment to “especially” thank her mother, Samantha, for her support. “You’ve always unconditionally loved me,” she wrote. “I’m so blessed to be your child! I love you to the moon and back! With all the support and love I’ve received. I’ve built the strength to love myself. This is why I’m choosing to no longer hide who I am. Love is love.”

Samantha, 53, commented on her daughter’s post, writing, “I’m so proud of you. I love you with all my heart and soul. You’re my favorite human on the planet. I just want you happy and healthy forever and always.😍

After his divorce from Samantha, Chester moved on with Talinda Bennington in 2005, going on to welcome three children: son Tyler, 13, and twins Lilly and Lila, 8. Talinda remarried two years after the musician’s passing, exchanging vows with Michael Fredman in January 2020.

Linkin Park Shares New Song Featuring the Late Chester Bennington

Chester died by suicide in July 2017. Last year, for the first time since the frontman’s death, Linkin Park announced their return to music with a world tour, a new album and two new members — singer Emily Armstrong and drummer Colin Brittain — joining original members Mike Shinoda, Brad Delson, Joe Hahn and Dave Farrell.

Melissa Joan Hart is showing off her upgraded engagement ring from husband Mark Wilkerson on Valentine’s Day.

“My handsome Valentine gave my engagement ring an upgrade with the help of the incredible, creative eye of @ericacourtneyofficial who made all of my wedding jewelry except my original engagement ring back 22 years ago,” Hart, 48, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 15, alongside a photo of the ring by designer Erica Courtney.

“Kept my old stones and added some new ones along with a new setting. Her name is Sparkles! 💖.”

Hart married Wilkerson, 48, in 2003 and spoke exclusively to Us Weekly in December 2024 about her secret to a lasting marriage.

Melissa Joan Hart Recalls Son’s Hilarious Run-In With Travis Kelce

“A big part of it is the commitment you make, right?” Hart told Us last year. “If there’s a spark and there’s love in the beginning, then you can always come back to that. So trying to remember that the valleys or the lows or the times when you don’t feel that connected, you can ride that out and it makes the peaks even better.”

For Hart, it comes down to getting through “the rough stuff” which, as she says, “makes the good stuff so much more worthwhile.”

“People change, marriages change,” she explained. “So I would just say if you made that commitment and it’s just getting stale, that’s not a reason to end [the marriage]. Work through stuff or be open, be honest. We base our marriage on trust. So I think trust is the basis of our relationship. I think that that’s a great foundation to build it on.”

Melissa Joan Hart Still Has Designer Pieces From ‘Clarissa Explains It All’

In 2023, Hart shared with Us that marriage is “a lot of work,” and that she and Wilkerson had been in couples counseling. She told Us marriage is “about kind of sticking it out and working through it and remembering where you came from.”

Hart and Wilkerson share three children: sons Mason, 18, Braydon, 16, and Tucker, 12.

Leo Woodall Opens Up About Filming 'Awkward' Sex Scenes in Bridget Jones 4

Leo Woodall is opening up about filming sex scenes with costar Renée Zellweger for the latest Bridget Jones sequel, Mad About the Boy.

“Those intimate scenes are kind of awkward, you know?” Woodall, 28, told Variety in an interview published on Saturday, February 15. “It doesn’t matter how sexy it may appear in the final cut — doing it is kind of awkward. So the best thing is for us to kind of just have a laugh with it, and it shines through.”

Woodall stars as the younger love interest to Zellweger’s beloved Bridget Jones in Mad About the Boy, which sees the main character left as a widowed single mother after the death of her husband Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).

Woodall told Variety that he wanted his and Zellweger’s on-screen relationship to “feel real” and not act as a “trope-y mechanism for the plot.” He said of age-gap romances, “They’ve existed and they do exist everywhere. We’re just not used to seeing them on-screen.”

Renee Zellweger and Ant Anstead Attend 'Bridget Jones' Party in London

Woodall added, “What the Bridget Jones movies do so well is they’re so relatable and they strike so many true chords that people all over the world and across generations can relate to.”

Speaking with the outlet at the film’s London premiere, Zellweger agreed with her costar, saying, “I mean, I think it’s nothing new. But maybe the social taboos are melting away. It’s never a bad thing. There are certain things that we probably don’t need to have opinions about. And where people find love, why would that ever be a problem?”

While Zellweger’s Bridget finds herself caught between two love interests in Mad About the Boy, she exclusively told Us Weekly that she initially doubted whether her character would truly be happy without Mark Darcy.

“It was sad as an actress not to share the experience with [Firth] and also know that Mark Darcy’s gone away,” Zellweger told Us at the Wednesday, February 12, red carpet premiere held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City.

Renee Zellweger and Hugh Grant’s Timeless ‘Bridget Jones’ Premiere Style

“[It’s] something really important for Bridget’s journey in this chapter of her life, which is that if she does choose new happiness, does that mean that she didn’t love him enough?” she continued. “I think it’s a familiar struggle for a lot of people.”

Zellweger reprised the role of Bridget Jones after starring in three previous films: Bridget Jones’s Diary in 2001, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason in 2004 and Bridget Jones’s Baby in 2016.

Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy is out now on Peacock.

Dillon Francis performed at an afterparty for the Kansas City Chiefs after their brutal defeat at the hands of the Philadelphia Eagles at Super Bowl LIX.

“Sometimes you have to go back to your roots and DJ for 3 people,” Francis, 37, captioned a video shared via Instagram on Tuesday, February 11, wherein he detailed his experience preparing to DJ for a “last-minute Chiefs afterparty.”

“This is how it went,” Francis wrote over the footage, which showed him “preparing for 11,000 people, but then the Chiefs got destroyed and I was worried nobody would show up.”

“Nobody showed up,” the DJ continued, showing footage of an empty venue. “I even tried to get 3 people there to sing along,” performing to “4 claps” and a “pity whoo.”

Patrick Mahomes Was in ‘A Daze’ After Shocking Super Bowl Loss to Eagles

Several people, including fellow DJs, flocked to the comment section of Francis’ post to joke about the matter, with one person writing, “It’s cool bro you’re gonna be big some day probably,” while someone else commented, “You’ll get em next year buddy.”

​​The Chiefs lost Super Bowl LIX to the Eagles 40-22 on Sunday, February 9, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, losing their chance to be the first team in NFL history to win three consecutive Super Bowls. The Eagles, meanwhile, redeemed themselves after their loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 2023.

Travis Kelce, tight end for the Chiefs, unpacked the team’s loss on his “New Heights” podcast on Wednesday, February 12. “Going into the game I felt as confident as I ever felt going into a Super Bowl or a playoff game or a big game in my life … It just wasn’t our day. Couldn’t find a lick of momentum,” he said.

“I’m kicking myself for some of the tiny, tiny decisions I made on the field trying to do something more than what I was asked to do,” he continued.  “I wasn’t the best leader that I could be in motivating my guys, in keeping my guys calm, cool and collected. I put a lot of that on myself as the guy that’s been in the building for 12 years and seen a lot of football and actually seen a situation just like this in a Super Bowl. It’s a tough pill to swallow, man.”

Travis Kelce Reacts to Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl Loss

Patrick Mahomes, quarterback for the Chiefs, addressed the team’s loss to the Eagles while speaking to reporters after the game.

“They played better than us from start to finish,” Mahomes, 28, told reporters. “We didn’t start how we wanted to. The turnovers hurt. I take all the blame for that. Those turnovers swing the moment of the game and they capitalized on them. They scored on one and got a touchdown immediately after another. That’s 14 points I gave them. It’s hard to come back from that in the Super Bowl.”

“‘What constitutes love?’ or ‘what makes someone worthy of loving?’ are questions that require a deep analysis and could possibly enable one to understand the romances that they may not understand nor relate to,” she continued. “With such a limited character count, I cannot dissect nor comprehensively answer these questions, but I will exclaim a few basic concepts.”

Hudson went on to list these concepts, writing that there “is no objective criteria for what constitutes someone’s worthiness of love,” noting “the ways in which we develop our biological preferences are deeply personal in which we owe no justification nor explanation.”

She then listed a litany on the functions of love, saying, “Love does not discriminate against sex, skin-color, religion, age, or ability,” it “does not fluctuate along with someone’s body weight,” it “does not lie within a perfect complexion,” and “Love is not as deep as one’s pockets.”

Hudson continued, “Love does not look the same every time you see it. People and relationships, like everything else, are impermanent; even though love is eternal. Love is not to be judged. It is never okay to harass or abuse a person based upon who they love.”

The former New England Patriots coach and Hudson sparked romance rumors in 2023 before she confirmed their relationship via Instagram in October 2024. Two months later, the couple made their red carpet debut at the American Museum of Natural History’s 2024 Museum Gala in New York.

Hudson and Belichick’s romance has turned heads for their 48-year age difference and their relationship has attracted its fair share of age-gap jokes. During the 2025 NFL Honors on February 6, Snoop Dogg poked fun at the pair during his opening monologue.

“I’ve been a football fan for a long, long time,” Dogg, 53, said. “I mean, I remember back when the [Dallas] Cowboys was good. I remember back when the [Kansas City] Chiefs was bad. And I remember when, what was it, Bill Belichick’s girlfriend wasn’t even born yet.”

When the camera panned to the couple, Hudson was seen opening her mouth in surprise before laughing at the remark while Belichick smiled, seeming largely unfazed by the quip.

It was reported by TMZ that the pair first met on a flight in 2021 while Hudson was still in college, though they weren’t spotted together publicly until 2023. In May 2024, details of their relationship came to the surface during The Greatest Roast of All Time: Tom Brady when former NFL tight end Rob Gronkowski made a joke about the pair’s relationship. Gronkowski, 35, played for Belichick on the New England Patriots for nine seasons from 2009 to 2018.

“Coach, you used to talk about Foxborough High School when we sucked,” Gronk joked during the roast. “But now I know why you were so obsessed with Foxborough High School: you were scouting your new girlfriend.”

Tim Gunn Claims He 'Wasn't Asked Back' to 'Project Runway' Reboot

According to Tim Gunn, the iconic Project Runway cohost was not asked back for the show’s reboot.

Heidi [Klum] sent me a text saying, ‘There’s talk about bringing Project Runway back with us, with you and me, and would you do it?’ And I said, ‘Would I do it? Of course, there’s not a moment of hesitation in me,'” Gunn, 71, said in an interview with People published on Saturday, February 15.

“So Heidi and I were texting and texting, and several months later, she sent me a text asking, ‘Are you happy with your contract?’ I’m a truth-teller. I don’t even mince words,” Gunn told the outlet. “I said, ‘Well, I haven’t seen a contract.’ And she said, ‘You haven’t?’ No.”

He continued, “So I called my agent and he knew things were going on, but he contacted the executive producers of this new show, and they said, ‘We don’t want him.’ And [my agent] said, ‘Well, he’s done 19 seasons of Runway, 16 with Heidi. The two of them won an Emmy together as hosts, and now you’re going to separate them?’ And they said yes.”

'Project Runway' Season 21: Everything to Know

Gunn cohosted Project Runway for 16 years alongside Klum, 51, before the pair departed the series in 2018 for Prime Video’s fashion competition series Making the Cut.

“Our fans are upset, you know, because we have a great audience,” Klum exclusively told Us Weekly at the time. “People loved us for 16 years. I guess they were maybe upset that they’ll never see us again, but Tim and I are sticking together.”

Us confirmed in January 2025 that Klum would return to host Project Runway for the first time in eight years for the Bravo show’s 21st season — without Gunn.

“So I wasn’t asked back,” Gunn told People on Saturday. “However, several weeks after that conversation, they went back to [my agent] and said, ‘Well, we’ve thought about it and we’d be willing to offer Tim a small cameo in one episode.’ What do I do? Wave from a bus? As the designers are going into Mood [Fabrics]? Heidi comes to see me at the retirement home and we play croquet? So no thank you. And as Heidi would say, you’re either in or you’re out. And I’m out. So I wasn’t asked to join.”

Heidi Klum Says It’s ‘Strange’ to Hear Former Models Slam VS Fashion Show

Gunn claimed that he was “initially devastated, then kind of humiliated” by the snub, but noted, “I thought, how lucky am I to have had the experiences that I’ve had over the last 20 years? This is phenomenal.”

“I stopped the boo-hooing,” he said. “I thought, it’s really throwing hubris in the face of an angry God to mourn not being on this new show. So I’ve come to terms with it. Am I disappointed? Sure. And most of all, it’s about not working with Heidi, but we move on and things happen for a reason. I don’t know what the reason is yet, but it will be revealed.”

Gunn added that Klum “was really upset” by the decision. “She kept saying, ‘I’m fighting for you, I’m fighting for you,’ which is lovely of her and nothing that I should expect,” Gunn continued. “And I said, ‘Heidi, just take good care of yourself. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine.'”

He concluded, “I have her back and I’m with her in spirit always.”

Benny Blanco Knew He Was ‘Going to Marry’ Selena Gomez After 1st Date

Benny Blanco knew his fiancée Selena Gomez was his one-and-only after their first date.

Blanco, 36, and Gomez, 32, went in depth on their relationship with Interview magazine in a profile published on Friday, February 14. “It was really simple. We got in the studio to work on a song and we just talked; that’s how easy it was for me. I liked him before he liked me,” Gomez shared.

The singer noted that the pair, who got engaged in 2024, had known each other since she was “around 16, 17” before they first went out. “When she started putting out music, I was so into it. I feel like she was the original sad girl,” he explained. “I was drawn to it.”

Blanco confirmed he initially “had no idea” about the singer’s feelings toward him. “We were in the session and I was like, ‘You should meet some of my friends. I can hook you up with some dates.’ I hadn’t thought about it at all,” he said. “And then we were texting afterwards and we decided to get dinner the next day. I guess she thought it was a date and I had no idea it was a date.”

According to Blanco, it wasn’t until their “second date” where he said, “‘Wait, does she like me?’ I was clueless.”

He continued, “From then on, it was easy. You know when you think you met the right person, you’re like, ‘Oh my god.’ But it feels so different. The second we started hanging out, I was like, ‘This is my wife.’ I was telling my mom, ‘This is the girl I’m going to marry.’” He concluded, “She’s my best friend.”

Blanco, a record producer, and Gomez have been together since 2023, but collaborated on music together for several years prior. They are teaming up for their first joint album, I Said I Love You First, which is set to release in March.

“It’s so good because I get her out, and she calms me down when I need it,” Blanco gushed. “She’s the first person that I’ve been with where I’m like, ‘I don’t even give a fuck what’s going on. I could sit in this bed with you for 72 hours and feel like I didn’t miss anything.’ She’s like my fucking heroin and Xanax combined.”

He added, “Whenever I’m feeling anything but perfect, she knows the exact thing to say. I’m so pissed that it took this long. It’s like, ‘How did we not figure this out sooner?’ I’m 36 years old.” Gomez confirmed, “Timing is everything.”

Blanco recalled, “Before I was with her, I was like, ‘You know what? I’m going to stop everything I’m doing and just focus all my energy on being a grownup and being with the right person.’ Now I worship the ground she walks on and I feel like she’s the same way to me.”

The producer added, “I just feel a thing for her that I can’t even explain. I’m so sappy.”

Karamo Brown's Ex Carlos Medel Confirms Split: 'This Year I'm Single'

One day after Valentine’s Day, Karamo Brown’s ex Carlos Medel is confirming his split from the Queer Eye star.

“Un poco más fresón, Happy Valentine’s Day ! ✌ feliz día del amor y de la amistad !” Medel wrote via Instagram on Saturday, February 15, alongside a carousel of photos including a selfie where Meda flexed his floral bicep tattoo in a short-sleeved, button up animal print shirt.

“Although this year I’m single I still want to make sure love is around ! All my love to my friends and family, thank you for being part of my life one more year ! ❤,” he continued. Brown, 44, and Medel had been dating since 2021.

“It was the first time I practiced something, which was full transparency on the first night,” the reality TV star told Attitude of his first date with Medel in a January 2024 interview. “We talked about everything from family to fears to finances. We showed each other our bank accounts and credit scores on the first night. Which seems odd to some, but we were putting everything out there.”

Karamo Brown Details Parenting ‘Boundary’ He and His Ex Disagree On

He told the outlet at the time that the pair had met when they “were both in relationships, although there was no funny business going on.” He explained, “We got talking about work on Instagram. Ironically, our conversation shifted to the issues we were having with our partners. The pandemic happened and we fell out of touch. In January 2021, I was like, now I want to flirt.”

Brown continued, “I hit him up and he was like: ‘I was just thinking about you — I broke up with my boyfriend!’ I was like: ‘Me too! Let’s have a date!’ Actually, it wasn’t that — we said we were going to get together and have sex, and that was it! That night we did not. We got there at 8am and stayed up until 6am talking. And crying.”

Speaking with Us Weekly in June 2024, Brown said “we’ll see” about whether marriage would be in his and Medel’s future.

“We’ve been together three years and we’re excited and happy where we’re at,” he told Us at the time. “Just being in a healthy relationship with no arguments is enough for me. Your communication is great. Like, I don’t know if I want to mess it up. You know what I mean? So we’ll see.”

Karamo Brown Calls ‘Queer Eye’ Newcomer Jeremiah Brent ‘Extremely Fun’

Before meeting Medel, Brown had ended a decade-long relationship with Ian Jordan amid the COVID-19 pandemic in September 2020. He confirmed exclusively to Us in December that year that after a brief fling following the break up, he was “back to fully being single.”

“I’m a hopeless romantic, and so for me, I’m always about like, how can I find someone who I can spend my moments and my time with?” he told Us at the time. “You have to just find people who are like-minded [and] on the same page.”

At the time, Brown admitted to Us that while his breakup from Jordan was an “adjustment,” he added that “he’s my best friend and someone I love. We just had a moment where … our relationship had to shift.”

Caroline Calloway’s Romance Tips Include 4 Dates in 1 Night and Scientology

Caroline Calloway made a name for herself as an accused internet grifter, a hot mess New York City party girl and, most importantly, the author of several memoirs — and now she’s giving Us dating advice.

“I think the best way to go on dates is four dates in one night,” Calloway, 33, exclusively told Us Weekly on January 29 while discussing her latest book, Elizabeth Wurtzel and Caroline Calloway’s Guide to Life.

“People are lucky if they go on four different first dates in a month,” Calloway told Us. “You can do this one night in a month and have the rest of the month to yourself. You can still be living a vibrant, healthy, romantic dating life, and still have time to be alone with your cat and watch TikToks.”

If multiple dates in a single evening sounds overwhelming, have no fear — Calloway, of course, has advice (for single girls who date men) on how to get it done. According to the author, if you spend “one hour with these men” starting at 5:00 p.m., you can call it a night by 10:30.

“Honestly, if you’re dating women, this is not how I would do it,” she added. “This is for women dating men. My thoughts and prayers to all my brave, brave little soldiers out there. But listen, this is how you have to do it.”

Author Caroline Calloway s Dating Tips Include 4 Dates in 1 Night and Scientology Hinge Prompts  192
Caroline Calloway. US Weekly

Calloway’s guide to life is a revival of author Elizabeth Wurtzel’s out-of-print 2001 memoir The Secret Life combined with Calloway’s own writing and insights, providing readers with various beauty tips, lifestyle hacks, book recommendations and some very specific advice for dating. The authors’ combined “guide” is accompanied by illustrations from artist Sam West. (Wurtzel, known for books such as her confessional memoir Prozac Nation, died in 2020 from breast cancer. She was 52.)

Calloway rose to popularity on Instagram, but her story — and life — blew up when she became the subject of a 2019 essay for The Cut titled “I Was Caroline Calloway,” written by her ex-friend Natalie Beach, who recounted helping Calloway write a book proposal, ghostwriting Calloway’s Instagram captions, and discovering she had purchased thousands of fake social media followers. Calloway also got a six-figure book deal for a memoir titled School Girl but reneged on the agreement, which meant repaying her publishers a $100,000 advance.

Calloway, like Wurtzel, lived in New York City for a decade before relocating to Sarasota, Florida, in 2022. Calloway said she “always felt five Hinge dates away from being some bohemian, fun, clouded up, socialite wife that some finance bro could keep in a box,” before leaving the Big Apple — and its dating scene — behind.

“It’s my first time ever dating men where every man I meet, I feel very confident that my lifetime earning potential is larger than yours,” she told Us of her romantic prospects in Florida. “It’s a really strange feeling to have in the patriarchy, in a heterosexual space. When I date women, it’s different. It’s like we’re in the same boat.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Uses Her Oscar as a ‘Doorstop’: ‘Works Perfectly’

While there are definite differences between New York and Florida, Calloway’s dating advice doesn’t have a city limit.

“First of all, if you don’t have a good [dating] profile, just stop. There’s nothing I can do to help you,” Calloway told Us. “The rest of the advice doesn’t even apply because you actually have bigger problems you need to address first. You need to get good pictures — and for your first picture you actually need to treat yourself like a brand.”

She continued, “A dating profile is the place to flex. People think a dating profile is a chance to tell other people about yourself. No. A dating profile is a trap and it should be an effective one. You are not trying to tell these people about you.”

Instead of baring your soul on a prospective dating profile, Calloway says giving strangers “the easiest, lowest hanging conversational fruit” is the name of the game. And she would know — she says she hasn’t changed her “entire profile in years.”

“These men are so f—ing dumb,” she said, adding that all she needs to entice a would-be date is a “whole Scientology bit.”

“There’s a prompt and it’s like, ‘What do you like?’ I just keep talking about Scientology,” Calloway explained. “I put it in the book so that people will have the actual source. Everyone sends me the same messages. ‘Let’s talk about Xenu or L. Ron Hubbard or Tom Cruise.’ Everyone just sends me the same message and it’s perfect.”

If single-and-ready-to-mingle readers focus on giving “people a way to talk to you,” Calloway said, instead of trying to “capture your essence or express yourself,” securing a date is literally as easy as following a script.

“You say this one message, which I have memorized,” she said, before apologizing to anyone who has ever received her go-to message. “I copy and paste this. It’s, ‘F—, period. So hot. Period. Text me and let’s get drinks this week. Phone number.’ This is what you say to reach out first.”

Calloway further encouraged users to make the aforementioned comment “on the least sexual thing on their profile,” like an “embarrassing Halloween costume” or a meme.

“You’re using this bedroom language and because men have little pea-sized animal cave brains, they just see that in the beginning of the message because Hinge shows you the beginning of the message,” she said. “So they’re scrolling, they’re looking for sex. They see this bedroom language. They’ll open your message. They’ll respond.”

Kristin Cavallari's Best Tips for Dating After Divorce: Apps, 1st Dates, More

While the Scammer author stands behind her dating tactics, Calloway’s intentions have changed now that she lives in Florida and she’s been wondering: “How much do you need someone to understand you intellectually if they like you, like your company, respect your career, and they’re kind to you?” She admitted to Us, “Something I’m learning about myself is that it actually might be less important to me than I once thought.”

“I think I got confused by how much I value my own intelligence,” Calloway continued. “Even if some people think I am the dumbest b— out there, I actually think I’m quite smart and actually kind of a genius at certain, very specific things. I got [so] confused by how much I valued [that] in myself, that I thought it was something I valued in a partner. It’s actually not as important to me as I once thought it would be.”

Given her rise to internet infamy, Calloway is no stranger to negative attention. In December 2024, she turned heads after claiming to have slept with Luigi Mangione, the 26-year-old man suspected of shooting and killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The validity of her statement has been questioned by social media users. (“Honestly, I’m still surprised what goes viral,” she told Us.)

Earlier in 2024, she made headlines for claiming she hadn’t slept with a man who could read “in two years” on a May episode of the “No Jumper” podcast, and again for refusing to leave her Sarasota home during Hurricane Milton last October.

Drew Barrymore's Honest Quotes About Dating After Divorce

But for now, Calloway is happy being the “strangest person in [her] town,” even though she still claims to be “happier” when she’s in New York.

“Every city has things that it values,” she told Us. “New York City is a place that loves creativity. It loves oddballs. It loves eccentricity. It loves originality. It loves chutzpah. It loves courage. It loves hustle. It loves enthusiasm. All these things that I really like about myself, I feel like New York City likes about its residents. And so I feel like when I see the city skyline, my molecules settle back into place. But it is a really emotionally volatile place to live.”

“In Florida, it’s like everyday is the same,” she added. “It’s just like bleach, bright white sunlight and the sound of the ocean. I read my books and I do my work and nothing ever happens to me. I’m fully retired from the plot when I’m there.”

Gloria Gaynor Hopes 'I Will Survive' Teaches Women to Be ‘Real’

Gloria Gaynor Hopes I Will Survive Teaches Women Be 'Real and Save Something for Your Man
Mariano Regidor/Redferns

Gloria Gaynor is thinking about the legacy of one of her most famous songs, “I Will Survive.”

During Lifetime’s “Voices of a Lifetime” event at the Hard Rock Hotel in New York City last month, Gaynor, 81, spoke exclusively with Us Weekly about her 1978 song “I Will Survive,” which has recently had a resurgence among TikTok audiences, including young women.

“It makes me know about my foresight because when I first heard the lyrics to the song, all of this is what I imagined,” the disco icon told Us. Gaynor also shared her reaction to seeing the next generation of girls dancing to her song on the app.

“I want to see them being real women who are pleased with who they are inside and not feeling that they have to show everything they have on the outside,”she said. “Save something for your man. Save something for that special guy, something.”

From Taylor Swift to Chappell Roan: The Pop Girlies Are Sticking Together

Gaynor noted that of the covers she’s seen of the song, it’s Chantay Savage’s version she’s loved the most. “It’s completely different from mine. She really made the song her own and I love her for that,” she shared.

At the same event, Robin Roberts presented Gaynor’s biopic, I Will Survive: The Gloria Gaynor Story, a TV movie detailing the singer’s life and career, which premiered February 8 on Lifetime.

“I’m celebrating by being here with you all, but I’m celebrating with my family and friends who have come to join me here, and when we see it, we are going to have a night,” Gaynor told Us of the movie. “So we’re all going to watch it together. I’ve seen it already, but we’re going to watch together, so I’ll probably be more watching them to see their reactions and responses to it.”

She added, “It’s wonderful. It’s wonderful. It’s all about women, female power. Someone said to me, they were telling their wife, ‘You’ve got to listen to me because you are the weaker sex.’ And they heard God say, ‘You have to have weak before you can get weaker.’”

Stockard Channing Says 'Grease' Wasn't 'Taken at All Seriously' at First

“It’s all about women power and recognizing the power that we have,” Gaynor continued. “Not trying to overpower the man in your life, but recognize that you have a power that matches his and that the two of you can be very strong together.”

Over her decades-long career, Gaynor has released several hit songs that helped define the disco era, including “I Will Survive” in 1978, “Let Me Know (I Have a Right)” in 1979 and “I Am What I Am” in 1983. “I Will Survive” won Gaynor a Grammy for Best Disco Recording in 1980, but it also scored nominations for Record of the Year and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

When she’s not having movies made about her life, Gaynor shared with Us that she is finding much of her happiness in her “faith,” as well as “going to church, studying the Bible, writing songs and seeing those songs come to fruition.” She added, “My happy place is home.”

Why Blake Lively Didn’t Join BFF Taylor Swift at the Super Bowl This Year

Why Taylor Swifts Friend Blake Lively Really Skipped Super Bowl 2025

Blake Lively was nowhere to be seen at Super Bowl LIX alongside friend Taylor Swift — but there’s a reason why.

“She was hoping to do some traveling before A Simple Favor 2,” a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. “And she and Ryan [Reynolds] are keeping a low profile at the moment.”

Lively, 37, was memorably by Swift’s side in Las Vegas as they cheered on the Kansas City Chiefs at the 2024 event. Her absence comes amid her ongoing legal battle with It Ends With Us costar and director Justin Baldoni. Lively, who has been friends with the pop icon since 2015, asked (and was granted) permission to use Swift’s song “My Tears Ricochet” in the trailer for It Ends With Us.

Baldoni, 41, and his legal team have since claimed that Swift, 35, could be deposed during the forthcoming trial. In one of Baldoni’s legal filings, he provided alleged text messages between himself and Lively, one of which seemingly mentioned Swift and Reynolds commenting on changes for the movie’s famous rooftop scene between their characters.

Where Blake Lively and Taylor Swift Stand Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuit

Last week, an insider exclusively told Us that, despite the alleged texts, Swift was in no way involved in the production of It Ends With Us. “Taylor has always been Blake’s friend, but Taylor doesn’t have any involvement in the case. She wasn’t part of the movie,” the insider told Us. “Taylor was not a producer on the film and had no creative involvement.”

The insider added, “While she and Blake are friends, this case is now a legal matter for the courts to resolve. Dragging Taylor into it is unnecessary and misrepresents what really happened.”

A second source reminded Us that Swift was “on tour” while the 2024 movie was in production, headlining the worldwide Eras Tour between March 2023 and December 2024. “Taylor never even saw the film or a single scene from it until the movie was in theaters,” the second insider told Us. “She is not relevant to the case.”

A trial date has been set for March 9, 2026, but federal judge Lewis J. Liman ruled earlier this month that the date could be moved up if the complaints continued to be “litigated in the press.”

How Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds Are Coping Amid Justin Baldoni Lawsuits

Lively attended the Super Bowl with Swift in 2024, where they watched the musician’s boyfriend, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, play and win against the San Francisco 49ers from a private suite in Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium. Her other famous friends in attendance included Ice Spice, Ashley Avignone, Lana Del Rey, and Miles and Keleigh Teller.

While Lively was absent for Super Bowl LIX, Swift was joined on Sunday, February 9, at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans by The Haim sisters (Alana, Danielle and Este), Ice Spice, Avignone, Ross Travis, Aric Jones, Donna Kelce and brother Austin Swift. (The Chiefs went on to lose to the Philadelphia Eagles 40-22.)

Anne Hathaway isn’t just any mom — she’s the kind of mom who takes her kids to the Super Bowl.

Hathaway, 42, was spotted on the jumbotron at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9, with her 5-year-old son, Jack, per footage shared via Instagram. Jack sat in his mom’s lap as the pair, dressed in Philadelphia Eagles green, cheered on their team and waved when they saw themselves on the screen. (Hathaway lives in New York with her husband, Adam Shulman, and their two sons.)

Hathaway was one of many celebrities spotted at the Super Bowl on Sunday, which saw the Eagles defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22, including Swift, 34, who was in attendance to cheer on her boyfriend, Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce. Footage shared by the NFL via Instagram showed the Devil Wears Prada star ecstatically cheering as the Eagles took home the win over the Chiefs.

Hathaway shares sons Jack and Jonathan, 8, with Shulman, whom she married in 2012. Hathaway and Jack have a pastime of attending sporting events together, as the pair attended a New York Knicks game together in November 2024.

As for Jonathan, last summer, the Princess Diaries star was seen with her eldest son at Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. The mother-son duo had the time of their lives, as Hathaway traded friendship bracelets with concertgoers and Jonathan handed out snacks and water bottles to fans across the barricade.

“Did not think I would be spending #GelsenkirchenTSTheErasTour in front of Anne Hathaway and her family,” one fan wrote via X at the time alongside a selfie with Hathaway. “She was the sweetest, taking pictures and dancing and her son came to bring us snacks from their stash and traded bracelets with us.”

“Thank you phenomenal, moving, powerful, fearless @taylorswift,” Hathaway gushed of the show via Instagram Story in July 2024. “Huge shout-out to the incredible Eras crew! Best picture-wrap celebration EVER!”

In a March 2022 interview with WSJ. Magazine, Hathaway gushed about feeling “fully landed and fully here” after becoming a parent.

“It’s not like I was lacking integrity, but it made me want to be completely, on every level, true to my word,” she said at the time. “And that meant stopping any nonsense that I had going on inside myself. And it’s little breaks that you give yourself sometimes when you know that you’re not being your best self.”

She added: “There’s this tendency to portray getting pregnant, having kids, in one light, as if it’s all positive. But I know from my own experience it’s so much more complicated than that.”

Men of the 2025 Super Bowl Looks: Chiefs and Eagles Turn Heads in Game Day ‘Fits

As Super Bowl LIX prepared to kick off, players arrived at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana, dressed in their finest game day ‘fits.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to face off against the Philadelphia Eagles for the Super Bowl on Sunday, February 9. Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce turned heads in a ‘70s-style maroon suit paired with gold accessories, including a gold rose pinned to his lapel. Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes donned a tailored, Eagles-green checkered suit, shared by the NFL via Instagram.

“Without a doubt, I think the football world is starting to kind of come around to being that fashion-forward mentality,” Kelce told Complex in September 2021. “And our game days are 16, 17 weeks, now 18 weeks out of the year. So it’s like we get, almost, anticipation for those big-time moments. It’s almost like it’s a red carpet every single week.”

Hopkins, wide receiver for the Chiefs, walked into the Superdome wearing a lush, vintage mink jacket which belonged to his late father.
"My dad died in 1992, and he left me a couple things. And one of the things he left me was a mink jacket," Hopkins told reporters on February 3, per social media footage. "And so I always said I would wear that mink jacket to my wedding or to the Super Bowl, whichever one happened first."

Orlando Bloom is responding to claims that he was paid to do charity work for the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).

“Misinformation can be easily spread,” Bloom, 48, wrote via Instagram on Friday, February 7. “All of my work with UNICEF has been done in a voluntary capacity. I’ve never received compensation from USAID or UNICEF. Any reports to the contrary are completely untrue. Have a great day 💙.”

Bloom shared this caption alongside a screenshot of a headline from Forbes which stated USAID did not pay certain celebrities to travel to Ukraine despite claims alleging otherwise.

Both Bloom and wife Katy Perry are Goodwill Ambassadors for UNICEF. In October 2022, Bloom participated in a campaign for the organization in honor of World Mental Health Day.

Bloom was one of several celebrities who have been accused of accepting millions of dollars from USAID in a video branded with a false E! News watermark, alleging the organization paid them to travel to Ukraine to meet with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Per Forbes, the celebrities named in the video included Bloom, Angelina Jolie, Sean Penn, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Ben Stiller.

Stiller, 59, addressed the video and the accompanying accusations via X on Thursday, February 6, saying, “These are lies coming from Russian media. I completely self-funded my humanitarian trip to Ukraine. There was no funding from USAID and certainly no payment of any kind. [100] percent false.”

X readers have since added context to the X post noting that the video was “fabricated to appear as if it came from ENews but there is no evidence ENews ever reported this.” The video has been shared widely across social media, racking up millions of views since it was posted on Wednesday, February 5.

Stiller, an actor and comedian, traveled to Ukraine in 2022 for World Refugee Day as a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR. “He’s there to stand in solidarity with people displaced by war and conflict all around the world,” the humanitarian organization wrote via Instagram at the time. Stiller visited the country shortly after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

The false footage began circulating last week, around the time President Donald Trump attempted to place 2,200 USAID employees on paid leave, which was temporarily blocked by a federal judge. Trump has stated his intention to dismantle USAID, an overseas aid agency, and place all 10,000 of its employees, save for 611 of them, on leave, per BBC.

USAID was founded by President John F. Kennedy in 1961. According to a report by the Congressional Research Service, USAID is “the lead international humanitarian and development arm of the U.S. government” which “provides assistance to strategically important countries and countries in conflict” and works to “alleviate poverty, disease, and humanitarian need.” USAID also “assists U.S. commercial interests by supporting developing countries’ economic growth and building countries’ capacity to participate in world trade.”
