North West Joins 'Lion King' Anniversary Concert at Hollywood Bowl

North West will make her Hollywood Bowl debut in a concert celebrating one of Disney’s most beloved films, The Lion King.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West’s eldest child, 10, has joined the star-studded cast of Disney’s The Lion King 30th Anniversary – A Live-to-Film Concert Event. The concert will take place at the Hollywood Bowl amphitheater in Los Angeles on May 24 and May 25 and will air on Disney+ at a later date.

Though it is unknown who North will portray or which songs she will perform, the young artist joins the likes of original Lion King stars Jeremy Irons, Nathan Lane, Ernie Sabella and Jason Weaver, who portrayed Scar, Timon, Pumbaa and the singing voice of young Simba, respectively.

The concert will also include appearances from Broadway stars Bradley Gibson and Heather Headley, “Circle of Life” singer Lebo M. and special guest Jennifer Hudson. Tickets for the Hollywood Bowl concerts are available now on the venue’s website.

“The special will celebrate the 30-year evolution of The Lion King, from the original 1994 animated film to the 1998 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical to the 2019 dramatic live-action film,” the concert’s press release states.

The Lion King anniversary concert is the latest of North’s career achievements. Having previously joined her famous father on stage and in music videos, North became one of the youngest artists to chart on the Billboard Top 100 earlier this year for her verse in Kanye, 46, and Ty Dolla $ign’s song “Talking.” Following the song’s February release, it reached No. 30 on the Top 100 chart.

“It’s your bestie / Miss, Miss Westie,” North raps on the track. “Don’t try to test me / it’s gonna get messy / It’s gonna get messy / Just, just bless me.”

One month later, North announced that she’s currently working on her debut album titled Elementary School Dropout. The album’s title is a nod to Kanye’s breakthrough 2004 record, The College Dropout.

“It’s gonna be great!” North told Jazzy’s World TV in March. When asked if the album will feature any collaborations with Kanye, North teased, “Maybe! We don’t know yet.”

While The Lion King concert will mark a career first for North, the story’s upcoming prequel film, Mufasa: The Lion King, will be the film debut for Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s eldest daughter, Blue Ivy Carter. Disney confirmed the news while releasing the movie’s first trailer last month.

Blue Ivy will portray Kiara, the daughter of Donald Glover’s Simba and Beyoncé’s Nala from the 2019 photo-realistic adaptation. Other returning 2019 cast members include Eichner, 45, as Timon, Seth Rogen as Pumbaa and John Kani as Rafiki.

Aaron Pierre will star as a young Mufasa, formerly voiced by James Earl Jones, alongside Kelvin Harrison Jr., Tiffany Boone, Kagiso Lediga, Preston Nyman, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Lennie James, Anika Noni Rose and Keith David. Mufasa will hit theaters in December.

After being in a high-profile relationship with ex Brooklyn Beckham, Chloë Grace Moretz has kept her romance with model Kate Harrison on the down low.

Moretz and Beckham ended their on-and-off, four-year relationship in 2018, the same year the actress was spotted kissing Harrison during a night out in Malibu. Though neither Moretz nor Harrison have publicly announced their relationship status, Moretz seemingly confirmed she had a longtime partner in a November 2022 interview with The i Paper.

“I like to keep my private life private,” she told the outlet. “I’m in a long-term relationship. And I really enjoy that.”

Moretz, who has two gay brothers, has also spoken out about how people shouldn’t “assume” other people’s sexualities. “These are all societal pressures that we’re being labeled as,” she told The Independent in December 2018. “We’re all human, trying to be with the people that we fall in love with, and be the best person that we can be.”

'Today' Hosts' Families Steal the Show on Take Your Kid to Work Day

Today Show Hosts Celebrate Take Your Kid to Work Day on the Plaza

It was a family affair on the Thursday, April 25, episode of Today.

The hosts and crew of the NBC morning show brought their children out to 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City for a special occasion. “That’s the future right there,” Savannah Guthrie stated while greeting the group of kids. “It’s Take Your Kids to Work Day here at NBC and we’ve got so many great kids, kids of our tech crew, our producers, on-air correspondents.”

Among the episodes’ adorable guests were Hoda Kotb’s daughters, Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman, Craig Melvin’s 10-year-old son, Delano, and Dylan Dreyer’s eldest son, Calvin, 7. (Melvin, 44, shares Delano and daughter Sybil, 7, with his wife, Lindsay Czarniak. In addition to Calvin, Dreyer, 42, and her husband, Brian Fichera, are the parents of sons Oliver, 4, and Rusty, 2.)

Delano and Calvin took over for their parents at the top of the third hour of Today, opening the episode alongside Al Roker and Sheinelle Jones. “It’s Take Your Kids to Work Day,” Delano told the camera, after which Calvin quipped, “Hey, this doesn’t seem so hard.”

Melvin and Dreyer went on to praise their kids’ TV talents, with Dreyer joking, “Craig and I are stage moms off on the side. I’m like, ‘Speak up, sit up tall.’” After the show, Dreyer shared a sweet dressing room selfie with Calvin via Instagram, writing, “Take your kid to work day!!! Calvin got the special honors!!”

Kotb, 59, and Jenna Bush Hager also kicked off Thursday’s Today With Hoda & Jenna by highlighting Haley and more of their coworkers’ children. When asked what her favorite part of the day had been so far, Haley told the cohosting duo, “That I get to see Mommy.”

Despite the compliment, Bush Hager, 42, hilariously turned the tables on Kotb. “Haley, can I ask you a question? Who’s the boss, me or Mommy?” she asked Haley, who hilariously answered, “You.”

“This has been happening all day,” Kotb reacted before asking her daughter, “Are you positive? Because you know you live with me. You don’t live with Jenna.” Bush Hager followed up by offering to have Haley stay with her for the weekend.

While her little ones did not appear on the show, she went on to praise NBC for providing fun Take Your Kid to Work Day activities for the talent and crew’s children. “There’s make your own totes,” she shared. “Do you know that Read with Jenna has their own library where you can go relax and read? I didn’t know that.”

Before Haley joined her mom on set, Kotb took a brief break from the show earlier this month in order to attend her daughter’s school recital. “Haley yesterday said, ‘Are you coming to my spring concert?’ And I was like, ‘When is it?’ She goes, ‘It’s tomorrow.’ Well, tomorrow’s today,” Kotb shared on April 18 while explaining how she rushed to the event in between the second and fourth hour of Today.

Calling the recital “so beautiful,” Kotb said she was glad to be there to support Haley before having to dash back to 30 Rock. “Then at 9, straight up, 8:45 to 9, it’s over. We had a pre-tape at 9:25. I said to [my driver] Eddie, ‘Let’s flow,’” she stated.

Watch Travis Kelce Hilariously Avoid Pronouncing the Word 'Pseudonym'

Travis Kelce seemingly pulled out his thesaurus while interviewing comedian Andrew Santino on the Wednesday, April 24, episode of the “New Heights” podcast.

“Wikipedia has a list of, [a] myriad of reasons, myriad of things that they have on there that you’re known as: The Slugger Santino, The Red Rocket …” Travis, 34, began to ask Santino, 40, before his brother, Jason Kelce cut in. “Time out, I gotta bring this up. He’s avoiding a word that’s on this rundown because he doesn’t know what the word is,” Jason, 36, joked.

“I used another good word,” Travis quipped, to which Jason agreed he “navigated it really well.” Santino asked if he could see the original question, revealing the word Travis tripped up on.

“’Wikipedia has an official list of your pseudonyms.’ Ah, right, pseudonyms,” he stated. Travis, for his part, noted, “Silent Ps always get me, the silent Ps.”

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

After initially poking fun at his younger brother, Jason came to Travis’ defense. “This is where we don’t blame Travis for this,” the former NFL star stated. “This is whoever wrote that word in there. How dare you.”

Santino also offered Travis praise for replacing the word pseudonym with the word myriad. “You have a litany,’ you could say litany,” he added. “A litany of lists.”

Travis’ word flub is not the first time he struggled with pronunciations on “New Heights.” While answering fan questions on the show’s March 6 episode, both Travis and Jason got confused over how to say a fan’s username that featured the title of Taylor Swift’s song “Cornelia Street.”

Intern Emma did Trav no favors tossing this word in the rundown 😂pic.twitter.com/D1uxZcLBH2

— New Heights (@newheightshow) April 24, 2024

“Am I saying that right? Cornell-li-est-girlie?” Travis questioned while reading the username, which was spelled @corneliastgirly. Jason meanwhile, hilariously pronounced the username as “Cornelius-T-girly” and “Cornelius-girlie.”

Travis began dating Swift, 34, last summer after he called out the singer on “New Heights” for not letting him give her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at a July 2023 Eras Tour concert in Kansas City. Their relationship continued to make headlines as Swift supported the athlete at several NFL games, including Super Bowl LVIII in February.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

Swift seemingly referenced the couple’s romance on her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, making references to winning being the “greatest in the league” and sports on the tracks “The Alchemy” and “So High School,” respectively.

Travis talked about Swift on Wednesday’s “New Heights” episode as Santino recalled the Grammy winner’s appearance on MTV’s Punk’d. During the 2012 episode, host Justin Bieber tricked Swift into thinking she set off a firework that caused a boat carrying a wedding party to catch fire.

“You can ask her the truth, but she bought it,” Santino, who was an actor and writer on the show, told Travis, who laughed and said he would have to “ask Taylor about it.”

Bravo fans can expect some cast shakeups for season 18 of The Real Housewives of Orange County.

Taylor Armstrong announced in November 2023 that she was leaving RHOC after one season on the reality series. Taylor, who previously starred on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, joined the show in a friend role for season 17 in June 2023.

“Loved spending time with the ladies of #RHOC and thankful I got to give the viewers an update on my life,” she wrote alongside Instagram pictures from her time on the show. “I’ve made some real friendships that I cherish. Wishing the ladies all the best for season 18.”

One month later, Jeff Lewis criticized Real Housewives executive producer Andy Cohen for not inviting Taylor back for another season. “That just seems like a good value,” he said during a December 2023 episode of SiriusXM’s “Jeff Lewis Live.” “You weren’t paying her that much. I think she was giving you guys, I mean, a lot. Why would you not bring her back? What is that reasoning?”

Andy simply replied, “I don’t know,” to which Lewis questioned, “Why [does] nobody consult me?”

Has ‘RHOC’ Season 18 Filming Started?

Filming for RHOC season 18 reportedly began in early 2024. Heather Dubrow’s husband, Terry Dubrow, exclusively confirmed to Us Weekly in February that filming was underway. “I’m instructed not to talk about it, and I promise I won’t except to say, ‘Whoa,’” the Botched star teased.

He continued: “I am a house husband and I don’t want to get involved in the fray. I think the fray is a forest fire that you have to be involved with. I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.”

Aside from news of Taylor’s RHOC departure, Bravo has yet to confirm if season 17 stars Heather, Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Gina Kirschenheiter, Emily Simpson and Jennifer Pedranti will return for season 18.

Several cast members, however, have teased their involvement via social media. “The season finale party from my first season,” Tamra captioned a throwback pic from season 3 of RHOC via Instagram in April 2024. “Hard to believe I’ll be wrapping up my 14th season soon … 🍊.”

That same month, Gina shared an Instagram pic of herself posing in a pink photo booth. “I’ll just be in here spilling the tea …” she captioned the pic, also using RHOC-related hashtags.

Will Alexis Bellino Return to ‘RHOC’ for Season 18?

Alexis, who previously starred as a main cast member on seasons 5 through 8 of RHOC, will reportedly return for season 18 as a friend. Bravo has yet to confirm her casting.

She fueled comeback speculation in January 2024 after she was spotted filming with Heather, Emily and a camera crew at a restaurant.

Will ‘RHOC’ Season 18 Cover Shannon Beador’s DUI?

Shannon was arrested for crashing into a residential property while driving under the influence in September 2023. The show’s season 17 reunion aired a month later, though the episode was filmed prior to her DUI.

She was officially charged with a DUI and hit-and-run in October 2023 and was sentenced to three years probation the following month. “I am grateful that no one else was injured besides me in this incident,” she shared in a statement to Us at the time. “I have learned so much from my terrible mistake that night and realize that driving any distance while impaired is too far.”

Given that the scandal was not addressed on season of RHOC, it is highly likely Shannon’s DUI will be a topic of conversation during season 18.

“I can confirm that we are filming season 18, and I can tell you that truth is stranger than fiction,” Heather shared in a February 2024 interview with Page Six. “Wow — this is going to be an interesting season.”

Gina later teased that she was “so shocked at the shakeup and the transition of the different friendships that you would never think were ever gonna happen” during a March episode of the “Got It From My Momma” podcast. “Like, already, that’s blown my mind.”

Gina also said she “can’t believe we’re gonna see Shannon and Alexis in the same room,” as Alexis began dating Shannon’s ex John Janssen in late 2023.

The RHOC season 18 cast trip is expected to take place in London. A Bravo Instagram fan account reposted several of the cast’s April 2024 Instagram Stories featuring snaps from their flight to England.

Former RHOC star Kelly Dodd seemingly confirmed the cast had traveled across the pond in an Instagram video that same month.

“I’m getting tons of messages from everybody that The Real Housewives of Orange County is in London, and they want me to go terrorize them,” Kelly stated, adding that she was “not here to fight” because she was enjoying a trip with her daughter, Jolie.

Tamra teased in April 2024 that Jo, who hasn’t been a series regular since 2007, is making a cameo for season 18. “And that’s a wrap 🍊,” Tamra captioned two Instagram photos with Jo, confirming that the new season had finished shooting.

Jo hinted at her comeback, writing in the comments section, “So much fun last night! It was just like riding a bike like you said 😉.” She later reposted Tamra’s video from a wrap party for the season via her Instagram Story.

Jo was an original cast member on RHOC in 2006, but after season 2, she exited as a regular star. She made brief cameos on seasons 3 and 4 and later made an appearance for the show’s 100th episode in 2013.

Marvel Studios has assembled a fantastic cast for its next superhero team.

In February 2024, Pedro Pascal and Vanessa Kirby were confirmed to be leading Marvel’s The Fantastic Four movie as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic and Sue Storm/the Invisible Woman, respectively. Completing the film’s titular quartet are Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/the Human Torch and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/the Thing.

The movie, set for a 2025 release, marks the third big screen iteration of the comic book series. Before starring as Captain America in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (a.k.a. MCU), Chris Evans starred as Johnny Storm in 2005’s Fantastic Four and its 2007 sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer, alongside Ioan Gruffudd, Jessica Alba and Michael Chiklis.

The heroes were rebooted again in 2015’s Fantastic Four, which starred Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Bell.

Stars Who've Played Superheroes

Marvel announced the film’s casting in February 2024 by paying homage to the characters’ origins with a 1960s-inspired poster. “Happy Valentine’s Day from Marvel’s First Family!” read the caption of the Instagram reveal, which featured illustrated versions of the actors sitting in a living room in comic-accurate costumes.

When Does ‘The Fantastic Four’ Hit Theaters?

The film will premiere on July 25, 2025, two months after the release of Marvel’s Thunderbolts.

Who Is Starring in ‘The Fantastic Four?’

Apart from Pascal, Kirby, Quinn and Moss-Bachrach, no other casting has been announced. However, the cast has Pascal stoked. “[I’m] beyond excited, especially to be in that cast, more than anything, with that director Matt Shakman,” Pascal told Access Hollywood in February 2024. “To be invited into a family like that is a dream come true, and I can’t wait to spend all of my time with them.”

Moss-Bacharach revealed Pascal launched the cast’s group chat.

The cast expanded in April 2024 when Julia Garner joined the film, according to Deadline. The Ozark alum is set to play Shalla-Bal, an incarnation of the iconic Silver Surfer.

What Will Happen in ‘The Fantastic Four?’

In true Marvel fashion, plot details for the film are being kept under wraps. However, the February 2024 poster provided a slight clue about how the team’s comic book origins might be incorporated into the movie.

A photo frame featuring a picture of Ben Grimm (pre-Thing transformation) can be seen in the background of the poster’s living room setting. In the comics, the foursome received their powers as a result of a space flight gone wrong. The astronaut Easter egg could suggest the characters will get their abilities in a similar way in the film.

Will ‘The Fantastic Four’ Be a Part of the MCU?

Unlike the Fantastic Four’s previous onscreen adaptations, the 2025 version will be the first to be set in the MCU. 21st Century Fox owned the film rights to Marvel characters — including Deadpool, the X-Men and more — prior to Disney’s acquisition of the studio in 2019. Deadpool 3, which hits theaters in July 2024, will mark the first major crossover between the Fox and Disney universes.

The Fantastic Four characters have already been featured in the MCU, with John Krasinski making a cameo as Reed Richards in 2022’s Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness. Krasinski’s version of the hero, however, was not from the MCU’s main timeline.

Who Will Direct ‘The Fantastic Four?’

Matt Shakman, who directed the 2021 Disney+ series WandaVision, has signed on for the upcoming superhero film. Shakman took over directing duties from Jon Watts, who led Tom Holland’s Spider-Man trilogy, following his exit from the project in April 2022.

Palace Rushed Kate Middleton’s Cancer Reveal Due to Leak Threat: Report

Kate Middleton's Cancer Announcement Was Rushed After Palace Was Threatened With a Leak: Report

Princess Kate Middleton may not have had control over when news of her cancer diagnosis was made public.

Kensington Palace reportedly rushed to release the Princess of Wales’ cancer announcement video after news of her health condition had leaked. The Daily Mail’s Ephraim Hardcastle column reported on Monday, April 1, that the palace had no choice but to rush the video’s release after being contacted about Kate’s diagnosis.

According to the outlet, whether or not the leak came from The London Clinic, where Kate underwent a January abdominal procedure, or elsewhere is unknown. Us Weekly has reached out to the palace for comment.

Kate revealed in a March 22 social media video that doctors discovered she had cancer following her abdominal surgery earlier this year. “My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy, and I’m now in the early stages of that treatment,” she explained at the time.

Noting that the news came as a “huge shock” for her family, Kate went on to note that she and Prince William “have been doing everything we can to process and manage this privately for the sake of our young family.” (The couple, who wed in 2011, share kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.)

“We hope that you’ll understand that as a family, we now need some time, space, and privacy while I complete my treatment,” she continued. “My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I look forward to being back when I’m able. But for now, I must focus on making a full recovery.”

Just days before her diagnosis made headlines, news broke that Kate’s medical records had been the target of a security breach at The London Clinic. The Daily Mail reported at the time that hospital staffers allegedly tried to access her medical information following her January surgery.

“[There are] systems in place to monitor management of patient information and, in case of any breach, all appropriate investigatory, regulatory and disciplinary steps will be taken,” The London Clinic’s CEO, Al Russell, said in a statement to NBC News last month. “There is no place at our hospital for those who intentionally breach the trust of any of our patients or colleagues.”

Prior to Kate’s cancer announcement, fans flooded the internet with theories and speculation about the princess’ health status and whereabouts as she had not made a public appearance since December 2023. Digital disinformation expert Martin Innes told The New York Times last month that several social media accounts behind the Kate conspiracies could potentially be linked to a Russian-based disinformation campaign.

Royal Family Members Who Have Supported Kate Middleton in Her Cancer Battle

“It provokes an emotional reaction,” Innes told the outlet on March 27. “The story was already being framed in conspiracy terms, so you can appeal to those people. And people who support the royal family get angry.”

Following her cancer announcement, the palace announced that Kate will not return to royal duties until for the foreseeable future. As a result, Kate, William, 41, and their kids did not attend the royal family’s Easter church service on Sunday, March 31, instead opting for a private holiday at home.

The Easter service did mark one of King Charles III‘s few public appearances since being diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer in February. He returned to royal duties last month and has resumed hosting events at Buckingham Palace.

Rapper Mase Seemingly Reacts to Diddy's Homeland Security Raid

Rapper Mase subtly weighed in on his former colleague Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent scandal and Homeland Security house raids.

“Reparations is getting closer and closer,” Mase, 48, told his cohost Cam’ron on the Tuesday, March 26, episode of their “It Is What It Is” podcast, adding, “I’ll be sure to give you your percentage.”

Without directly mentioning Diddy’s home raids, Cam’ron, 48, pointed out the incidents occurred the same day as the anniversaries of Notorious B.I.G.’s 1997 album, Life After Death. “It’s amazing that all of this would transpire on that day. … That’s eerie, man,” Mase remarked.

Pulling at Mase’s chain, Cam’ron asked Mase, “That’s all you’ve seen,” to which he responded that he’s “seen helicopters.” The comment was seemingly directed at Diddy’s home raids as some news footage of the raids was filmed via helicopter.

Eyebrow-Raising Quotes About Diddy's Alleged Behavior Over the Years

The podcast episode came out one day after Homeland Security investigated Diddy’s Los Angeles and Miami properties in connection to a federal sex trafficking case. His lawyer, Aaron Dyer, slammed the raids for being a “gross overuse of military-level force” in a statement to Us Weekly on Tuesday. “There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated.”

Dyer continued: “Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way.”

At the time, TMZ reported that two of Diddy’s sons — Justin, 30, and King, 25 — were detained and later released during the raids. Diddy was reportedly prevented from flying out of a Miami airport by Homeland Security on Monday.

The musician, who is currently facing multiple sexual harassment and misconduct lawsuits, was spotted for the first time since the raids on Friday, March 29. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail, he appeared unbothered while leaving Top Golf Miami with his daughters Jessie and D’Lila, 17.

Diddy’s Ups and Downs Over the Years: Lawsuits, Home Raid and More

Mase’s history with Diddy goes back to 1997 when Mase released his debut album, Harlem World, under Diddy’s record label, Bad Boy Records. He went on to release two more albums under the label before accusing Diddy of withholding his music’s royalties from him.

“U still got my publishing from 24 years ago in which you gave me $20k. Which makes me never want to work w/t u as any artist wouldn’t after u know someone is robbing you & tarnishing your name when you don’t want to comply w/ his horrendous business model,” he wrote via Instagram in January 2021.

Diddy subsequently claimed that Mase owed him $3 million during an October 2022 episode of The Breakfast Club radio show. “That’s facts, I got the receipts,” he stated. “I’m not gonna go back and forth with Mase. I’m not going back and forth with nobody. I’m just gonna speak up for myself now.” Mase denied Diddy’s claims at the time.

In September 2023, Diddy gave back publishing rights to Mase and other Bad Boy Records artists, including Faith Evans, the Lox and 112, per Variety.

“Everything’s cool and good now,” Diddy told Billboard of his and Mase’s drama later that month. “You know, we’re brothers and brothers fight. I love him and that’s it.”

Hoda Kotb is preparing for an upcoming move, and her daughters are the reason behind the big decision.

“I was thinking about moving. My kids and are going to move somewhere to a new school,” Kotb, 59, revealed on the Wednesday, March 27, episode of her “Making Space” podcast. The Today host is the mother of daughters Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, whom she shares with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman.

While discussing the move with her podcast guest, author Arthur Brooks, Kotb reminisced about the “many times” she’s changed locations throughout her life. “I remember once my parents moved us to Nigeria. I was in fourth grade, I was horrified,” she shared. “We get to this place, the language was different, everybody seemed different and it was hard. I moved again in sixth grade.”

Kotb continued: “It’s so funny because the stories I tell now as an adult, are the stories of how I endured or what I did to cope. Yet at the same time, as I’m preparing my kids, I feel like I’m trying to protect them from things that they should probably be into.”

Noting that the moving process will “be more bad than good at the beginning,” Brooks, 59, shared some tips on how to make the transition smoother for Kotb and her kids. “When you move to a new place, pretend you’ve lived there for 10 years already,” he said, suggesting Kotb throw gatherings with friends and family like she would at her current home. “It’s a complete game-changer because you speed up the clock.”

Kotb continued to open up about her move on the Thursday, March 28, episode of Today With Hoda and Jenna, clarifying that she and her girls are not leaving the “New York area.”

“It’s interesting because think about how many times you’ve moved in your life,” she told her cohost, Jenna Bush Hager. “Every time I moved in my life, and you moved in yours, it was like, all of a sudden, it was a huge adjustment. But the stories I tell about growing in my life come from those.”

Thursday’s episode of Hoda and Jenna marked Kotb’s return to the series after taking a brief break from the show on Wednesday. Although she had appeared on the first two hours of Today, Willie Geist stepped in to cohost alongside Bush Hager, 42.

Though neither Kotb nor her cohost shared the reason behind her absence at the time, she gave fans a glimpse at how she spent her day post-filming. “This makes me so happy. Little Hopey ❤ @katyperry,” she captioned a Wednesday Instagram video of Hope riding on a scooter while singing “Firework” by Katy Perry.

Kotb later explained her absence at the top of Thursday’s Hoda and Jenna episode. “A good friend of ours, who we both love dearly, Laura [Castorino], who does our hair, her mom passed,” she shared, going on to call the hairstylist “one of the good eggs” and praising her for being a “mothering” figure to the show’s staff.

Megan Thee Stallion Says Black Female Artists Don't Get Many 'Options'

In order to become one of the music industry’s biggest stars, Megan Thee Stallion had to overcome her fair share of obstacles.

“As a businesswoman, I’ve learned you don’t have to take no for an answer,” the rapper, 29, shared in her April 2024 ADWEEK cover story. “Sometimes in this industry … especially being a woman … especially being a Black woman … people don’t even present you with all of your options. They don’t even tell you everything that you could get.”

Back in October 2023, Megan Thee Stallion revealed that she had parted ways with her former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, after years of legal battles over the distribution of her work. Last month, she signed a new deal with Warner Music Group allowing her to continue to release music through her company, Hot Girl Productions, as well as utilize Warner Music Group’s resources to distribute and promote her work.

“It feels so great. It feels so empowering,” she told ADWEEK of the deal. “I hope that a lot of artists see [that] it doesn’t matter how many nos, how many obstacles, how many terrible experiences that you may have in this [business] – you shouldn’t give up. Because there is a light on the other side.”

Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Style Evolution: Her Best Looks 

She continued: “It doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you take the journey, and you don’t quit. Because if I would’ve quit, I would’ve never made it here.”

With three Grammys and a discography full of albums, EPs and singles under her belt, Megan Thee Stallion is excited to keep doing what she loves. “All I want to do is show y’all how cute I look, how good I rap and just promote the things that I’m trying to promote, and I’m outta here,” she shared. “I talk to [my fanbase] thee hotties sometimes, but I really had to learn to not pay attention to the negativity, because [I realized] these people don’t know me.”

She went on to tease that she’s “coming up with some things for thee hotties,” adding, “[They are gonna like it … because nobody could tell me no. Nobody had any input. Nobody could tell me what to do!”

This year has been full of business moves for Megan Thee Stallion as she took on the role of Mother Fitness for a campaign with Planet Fitness and released her Nike workout clothing collaboration, Hot Girl Systems, last month. In terms of music, she teamed up with Mean Girls star Reneé Rapp on the track “Not My Fault” in December 2023 and dropped her latest single, “HISS,” earlier this year.

In addition to performing gigs at several of this summer’s biggest music festivals, Megan Thee Stallion will kick off her Hot Girl Summer headlining tour in May. She and her opening act, Glorilla, will perform over 30 shows across the country and Europe through July 2024.

“HOTTIESSS GET READY TO COME HAVE SOME FUN WITH ME AT THEE HOT GIRL SUMMER TOUR ☀☀☀,” she announced via Instagram on March 13. “Get your outfits ready nowww! We getting started this MAY 🔥 I told you what cities today to get yall prepared!”

Why Jenna Bush Hager Lets Her Daughter Read 'The Summer I Turned Pretty'

Jenna Bush Hager has author Jenny Han to thank when it comes to navigating mature topics with her 10-year-old daughter, Mila.

“I feel like conversations about sex have changed so much since we were little,” Bush Hager, 42, told cohost Hoda Kotb on the Thursday, March 28, episode of Today With Hoda and Jenna. “And, you know, Mila’s in fifth grade, and one of the things that people have been surprised about is I let her read this book series called The Summer I Turned Pretty by my queen, Jenny Han, who is an incredible writer for young adults.”

In response to feedback that Mila is too young to read the teen book series, Bush Hager stated, “I would so much rather my kids learn about sex or drinking or whatever it is through books than through YouTube. I would so much rather my kids read something and get to come to their mom’s bedside and say, ‘Hey, mom. I didn’t quite get this,’ and me be able to help lead the conversation than her having influencers do that for her.”

Along with Mila, Bush Hager shares daughter Poppy, 8, and son Hal, 4, with her husband, Henry Hager. As a mother of two daughters herself, Kotb, 59, praised her cohost’s parenting choice.

“For everybody who’s worried about books and banning books and all that stuff, your children are getting a million times more stuff that you might deem as inappropriate [on the internet],” said Kotb, who coparents Haley, 7, and Hope, 4, with ex-fiancé Joel Schiffman. “And the fact that a child is actually reading, like, wants to read something [is great].”

Bush Hager went on to explain that depictions of sex and drinking in the books have sparked a conversation about consent with Mila. “The thing I say to her is, ‘You are the chooser. If something doesn’t feel right to you, don’t do it,’” she shared.

She subsequently gave Han, 43, a special shout-out, stating, “Thank you, Janny Han, for guiding my sex talks.”

The Summer I Turned Pretty book series follows teenage protagonist Isabel “Belly” Conklin as she comes of age and navigates a love triangle with family friends Conrad and Jeremiah Fisher. The trio of novels was adapted into a Prime Video series starring Lola Tung, Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno as Belly, Conrad and Jeremiah, respectively.

Season 2 of the series, which premiered in July 2023, featured a scene in which Belly loses her virginity to Conrad during a romantic night alone at his family’s Cousins Beach home. In an interview with Variety that same month, Tung, 21, opened up about feeling “very safe” on set while filming the intimate scene.

“They were trying to do everything that they could to make us feel safe and make it as easy as possible for us to do our jobs,” she told the outlet. “I feel very grateful that we were able to check in with each other and to bring the scene to life in a really beautiful way.”

Tung believed Belly’s decision to lose her virginity felt right in terms of her relationship progression with Conrad. “They both have a lot of love for each other, and they feel safe together too,” she stated. “So it’s familiar, and it’s comfortable, but also new and exciting for them.”

Twitch Star Ninja 'in a Bit of Shock' After Skin Cancer Diagnosis

Gaming Star Ninja Announces Hes Been Diagnosed With Skin Cancer In a Bit of Shock

The popular Twitch star Ninja revealed to fans that he’s been diagnosed with skin cancer.

“Alright I’m still in a bit of shock but want to keep you all updated,” Ninja, 32, began in a lengthy X post on Tuesday, March 26. “A few weeks ago I went in to a dermatologist for an annual skin/mole check that [my wife] Jess [Blevins] proactively scheduled for me. There was a mole on the bottom of my foot that they wanted to remove just to be careful. It came back as melanoma, but they are optimistic that we caught it in the early stages.”

The internet personality (real name Tyler Blevins) went on to share that another “dark spot” near the mole was removed on Tuesday, as well as “a larger area around the melanoma with the hopes that under the microscope they will see clear non-melanoma edges and we will know we got it.”

Ninja concluded his post by saying he’s “grateful to have hope in finding this early” before encouraging his fans to “please take this as a PSA to get skin checkups.” He also shared a screenshot of the post via his Instagram Story on Tuesday.

Several fans sent well-wishes to the Ninja in the tweet’s comments. “Hoping for the best. Lots of love to Jess for being proactive as well ❤🙏,” his fellow Twitch streamer SypherPK wrote on Tuesday, while the Detroit Lions official X account commented, “Thinking of you @Ninja, get well soon 🙏.”

Ninja has made a name for himself in the gaming world as one of Twitch’s biggest stars, amassing over 19 million followers on the video game streaming platform. He also uploads gaming videos via YouTube, where he has built a following of over 23 million subscribers.

Outside of gaming, Ninja currently hosts the “AFK w/ Ninja” podcast, where he discusses the latest internet and video game trends and chats with fellow content creators. In 2019, he competed as Ice Cream on season 2 of The Masked Singer and coauthored a graphic novel, Ninja: The Most Dangerous Game, with Justin Jordan.

Ninja also made history as the first gamer to grace the cover of ESPN Magazine in September 2018. “When I’m not streaming, I have time to reflect on all the growth, and I don’t like that. I’d rather just be home playing,” he shared in his interview. “I’m like, ‘I haven’t played a celebrity in a while. I haven’t done something big in a while. Is it because I’m slowing down?’ When I’m home, there’s no time to think about that.”

Stars Who Beat Breast Cancer: Linda Evangelista, Cynthia Nixon and More

He went on to state that he plans to continue his streaming career until his “family is taken care of,” explaining, “Say this ends tomorrow, we don’t have enough for the rest of our lives. I tell Jess, ‘Honey, we’re not going to have that much quality time this year, or even next year. But if we do this right and I continue to grind for a couple more years, we can set ourselves up, and our family and our family’s family, for the rest of our lives.’”

Ninja’s health news comes amid a slew of celebrity cancer announcements. King Charles III and Princess Kate Middleton are each battling unspecified forms of cancer, while Sarah Ferguson announced her skin cancer diagnosis in January. Additionally, actresses Olivia Munn and Nicole Eggert and ESPN reporter Hannah Storm all recently revealed they have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

Steve Harvey Isn't Afraid to Get 'Rid' of 1 of His Daughters' Boyfriends

Steve Harvey s Daughters Are Careful When Bringing Boys Home to Meet Him

Steve Harvey is a papa bear when it comes to meeting his daughters’ potential suitors.

“If I spot a bad one, I get rid of them,” Harvey, 67, exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday, March 22, while promoting The Steve Harvey Network. “I make no bones about it, so they’re very careful when they bring them.”

Steve is the father of four girls. He shares twins Karli and Brandi, 40, with his ex-wife Marcia Harvey. When he married wife Marjorie Harvey in 2007, he adopted her daughters, Morgan, 38, and Lori, 27.

“You can think a person is wonderful, but everybody’s wonderful in the beginning. Everybody, you always meet the mask,” he continued. “The mask can last for about 90 days, and then after a while, the mask starts unraveling, and I just try to wait on that period. Sometimes they make it, sometimes they don’t.”

While he usually waits for “the mask” to do its work at revealing someone’s intentions, he sometimes can sense a person’s vibe right off the bat. “But if you come in the house, and I know right off the top that you’re just not a good guy, I start the reading process right away,” he shared. “I don’t say nothing to my daughter, I just, behind the scenes, I start working toward getting rid of this guy.”

Steve’s pickiness over his kids’ relationships comes from a heartfelt place, as he told Us that “the person you choose to spend your life with is probably the most important decision you’ll ever make.”

The Family Feud host continued: “That relationship becomes an elevator. It can take you up or it can take you down, so choose wisely.”

Steve also has three sons. The TV personality shares son Broderick, 31, with Marcia, 69, son Wynton, 26, with ex-wife Mary Shackelford and adopted Marjorie’s son, Jason, 31.

He went on to praise his sons, in particular, for being “very respectful of women,” explaining that the “most important” piece of advice he’s shared with them is to “just be respectful of women.”

“Treat them the way you want somebody to treat your sister and your mother and then go from there. And no other treatment is acceptable. So I think they got it,” he shared before joking, “My daughters, I wish they’d listened to me more, but they got to go through it.”

Steve Harvey's Ups and Downs Over the Years

Fans can get the chance to receive their own advice from Steve on his new platform, The Steve Harvey Network, powered by Fireside. The interactive network will feature live interactive interviews with Steve and several special guests.

“It’s live and I get to deal with audiences. I mean, my specialty is audiences. My specialty is live performances. So, when I have these live chats, it’s right in my wheelhouse,” he told Us of the platform. “And I never know what the questions are going to be. … It goes from relationships to advice, to motivational things, to business questions, entrepreneurship. It can go from a range of things. And I’ve just been fortunate enough that I have a life that I’ve kind of dabbled in all of it.”

Kate Middleton Withholds What Form of Cancer She Has Amid Chemo Treatment

Princess Kate Details Early Stages of Chemotherapy Treatment After Revealing Cancer Diagnosis 384

Princess Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement left out some specifics about her diagnosis.

In a video statement shared via her and Prince William‘s social media accounts, Kate, 42, shared that her medical team advised that she “undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy” after her “successful” abdominal surgery in January revealed that she had cancer, the type of which she did not identify. “I’m now in the early stages of that treatment,” the Princess of Wales explained.

She continued: “This, of course, came as a huge shock, and William and I have been doing everything we can to process this privately for the sake of our young family.” (The couple, who wed in 2011, share kids Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5.)

Noting that she and William, 41, have communicated to their kids that she is “going to be OK,” Kate said it has “taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment.” As she continues to complete her treatment, Kate said she is “getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that will help me heal in my mind, body and spirits.”

Princess Kate Through the Years: From Commoner to Future Queen Consort

As she continues her break from royal duties, Kate remains focused on “making a full recovery.” She concluded the message on a hopeful note by giving a shout-out to others who have been “affected by cancer” and encouraging others to “not lose faith or hope.”

Kate’s video marked the first time she publicly addressed her health since Kensington Palace announced she was hospitalized after a “planned” abdominal surgery in January. Having not been seen in public since December 2023, rumors began to swirl online about her whereabouts and her health status. The palace later confirmed she would not return to royal duties until she is cleared to do so.

Adding fuel to the speculation surrounding the Duchess of Cambridge was her Mother’s Day Photoshop scandal. After photo agencies pulled a picture of her and her children after spotting signs of alteration, Kate admitted to tweaking the snap in an X statement.

“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing,” she wrote on March 11. “I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day.”

Kate has since made a handful of public appearances, from being photographed in a car with her mother, Carole Middleton, to attending a Windsor farmer’s market with William. The latter outing has been the catalyst of more online conspiracies, with some believing a body double was used in place of Kate or that the video was filmed around Christmas time due to a wreath being spotted in the background.

Prince William and Princess Kate’s Relationship Timeline

Kate’s medical records were also the target of a security breach at The London Clinic, the private hospital where she received her abdominal surgery, earlier this week

A source exclusively told Us Weekly on Friday that the royal family learned of Kate’s cancer diagnosis in late February. “Kate went in for abdominal surgery and then they found out she had cancer,” the insider explained. “The day the family found out was the day William canceled going to the memorial of his godfather King Constantine of Greece.”

The King of Greece’s memorial service was attended by Queen Camilla and Princess Anne, both of whom had filled in for King Charles III at royal events following his January prostate procedure and subsequent cancer diagnosis. He resumed royal duties earlier this month and has hosted several events at Buckingham Palace.

Zac Young's Guinness Green Velvet Cake Is the St. Paddy's Treat You Need

Zac Young’s boozy twist on a classic red velvet cake is the perfect treat to get Us into the St. Patrick’s Day spirit.

The Food Network star, 41, exclusively shared the recipe his delicious Guinness green velvet cake in the latest issue of Us Weekly.

“The cake has just a hint of cocoa and lets the malty, hoppy flavor of the Guinness shine through, especially paired with the whiskey-spiked, salted caramel frosting,” Young tells Us of the dessert.

Not only is the recipe festive and fun, but it’s also versatile. “Try it as a loaf, a single-layer round or even cupcakes!” Young adds. The recipe amplifies the flavors and look of a typical red velvet cake by adding Guinness’ famous stout and a splash of green food coloring. Not to mention, the frosting also contains a bit of Irish whiskey and is topped with green and gold sprinkles.

Luck of the Irish! How Stars Have Celebrated St. Patty's Through the Years

Holiday-themed baking is something Young has enjoyed ever since getting his start at the Institute of Culinary Education. Young has worked as Pastry Director of Craveable Hospitality Group since 2012, helping to curate desserts featured in the company’s restaurants and bars, and was even named by Dessert Professional as one of the Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America in 2015.

Food Network fans, however, may also recognize Young for coming in fourth place on the inaugural season of Bravo’s Top Chef: Just Desserts in 2010, as well as appearing on a number of cooking and baking shows such as Unique Sweets, Bakers vs. Fakers, Nailed It!, Chopped, Beat Bobby Flay and Halloween Baking Championship.

In addition to coming up with creative bakes such as his Guinness green velvet cake, Young is perhaps best known as the creator of the cake/pie combination, the PieCaken. He included his green velvet cake in a St. Patrick’s Day-theme version of the desert, dubbed the “Saint PatCaken,” which fans can order via Goldbelly.

“We start with our whisky pecan pie. The next layer is Baileys cheesecake, followed by our ridiculous good Guinness green velvet cake,” Young said via voiceover in an Instagram baking video on Monday, March 11. “It’s all bound together with our salted caramel frosting and covered in sprinkles. Lots of sprinkles.”

Bradley Cooper's Family Guide: Get to Know His Mom, Daughter Lea and More

Bradley Coopers Family Guide Get to Know His Mom Daughter Lea and More

Before becoming one of Hollywood’s biggest stars with roles in A Star Is Born and Maestro, Bradley Cooper was just a kid growing up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The actor and his older sister, Holly Cooper, are the two kids of his parents, Gloria Campano and Charles Cooper. He remained close to his family upon launching into stardom and even lived with his mother leading up to and after his father died of lung cancer at age 71 in January 2011.

“My family is very close, and my dad dying was brutal for all of us. It was a schism, and its aftershock has not stopped. And we need each other. So here we are,” he told Details magazine in April 2013. “But don’t get me wrong. It’s not without complications. It’s not like I live in a compound and she’s in the guesthouse. No. She’s in the next room. But here’s the thing: She’s a cool chick. We can hang, and she can roll with the punches. If that wasn’t the case, there’s no way.”

Four years later, Bradley’s family grew with the birth of his daughter Lea De Seine, whom he shares with ex Irina Shayk. The pair parted ways after four years of dating in June 2019 and have remained cordial coparents since.

“He’s the best father Lea and I could dream of,” Shayk said of her ex in a November 2023 interview with Elle. “It always works, but it always works because we make it work.”

Gloria Campano

Bradley’s mother worked at a local NBC station throughout his childhood, according to his IMDb bio. Gloria has made headlines several times for being her son’s frequent plus one at awards shows.

“One night, when I started the profession, [my mom said], ‘If you ever [get nominated], I am the date,” Bradley told E! News at the 2013 Academy Awards, at which he was nominated for his first Oscars for Best Actor for his role in Silver Linings Playbook.

Gloria stepped out on the red carpet in style again at the 2024 Golden Globes. She complemented her son’s classic black tux and bow tie with a long black lace dress and a fauz fur shall. She completed her ensemble with a pair of blue-tinted aviators.

In addition to joining Bradley at events, she has also shared the screen with him in back-to-back T-Mobile Super Bowl commercials in 2023 and 2024.

Charles Cooper

Per Bradley’s IMDb bio, his father worked as a stockbroker prior to his death in 2011. In a September 2018 profile for The New York Times, Bradley revealed that he held his father during his final moments.

“It’s a new reality. Everything, everything,” he told the outlet of life without his dad. “It’s not even one thing, it’s a whole new world. And it was instantaneous. It wasn’t like, months later. It was like, his last exhale, and I was holding him, and it was like, everything changed.”

Bradley got emotional while discussing his father in a February 2019 interview on Today, during which host Willie Geist asked him, “do you think about what your dad would think about where you are in your career right now?”

A tear-eyed Bradley responded: “Yeah, sure. Yeah … I don’t know, many. Yeah, you know. It’s a part of life.”

Not much is known about Bradley’s sister and only sibling as she has seemingly kept her life out of the spotlight over the years. However, she has joined her famous brother and their mother in public on an occasion, including at the 2015 Tony Awards. She and Gloria posed for red carpet with Bradley at the New York City awards show, at which he was nominated for Best Actor in a Play for his role in The Elephant Man.

Lea De Seine

Bradley and Shayk welcomed their daughter two years after beginning their relationship. In February 2021, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that the exes’ coparenting was “going well,” adding, “They are on healthy terms and are very respectful of one another, making the coparenting process much more seamless and smooth. At this point in time, they are better off as friends.”

Bradley has continuously gushed about his daughter over the years and even left a December 2023 Maestro press conference after getting a call from Lea’s school nurse. That same month, Lea joined him at the premiere of his Leonard Bernstein Netflix biopic in an adorable leopard print dress.

Lea also made a brief cameo in Maestro, which marked Bradley’s second feature directorial film. “She was in the movie, Yeah, she was great,” he told Entertainment Tonight in January 2024. “She was awesome.”

One month later, he revealed on the “Armchair Expert” podcast that he was “not sure” if he’d still be alive without Lea after previously struggling with addiction.

“I just needed someone to say, like, ‘We’re gonna drop this massive anchor,’” he explained to host Dax Shepard. “I’m like, ‘Why? We’re speeding! I just got an upgrade on the boat, and I know where the wind’s coming in.’ They’re like, ‘No, no, no, there’s a tsunami coming in, and you need an anchor and we’re gonna drop it.’ Because this is gonna dictate everything you do from now on. Your DNA is going to tell you that there’s something more important than you.”

Travis Kelce is officially in his Swiftie era.

Just as Swift cheered on the athlete at many 2024 NFL season games, Kelce hit the road to support the pop star at her Eras Tour shows. The tour featuring music from Swift’s entire discography was the starting point of their romance, as Kelce publicly announced his crush on Swift after attending one of her July 2023 shows in Kansas City.

News of the pair’s relationship broke in September 2023 when Swift attended her first Kansas City Chiefs game, but she later revealed that she and Kelce began dating not long after her Missouri tour stop.

“We actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other,” she shared in her December 2023 TIME Person of the Year cover story. “By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline

In February 2024, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Kelce would be “joining Taylor on her tour and traveling with her” following Super Bowl LVIII. “They are happy and looking forward to spending more time together,” the insider added. (The Chiefs ultimately defeated the San Francisco 49ers for their second consecutive Super Bowl win.)

Before the pair sparked a romance, Kelce attempted to get Swift’s attention by giving her a friendship bracelet with his phone number on it at her Kansas City Eras Tour show. “Well, I was disappointed that she doesn’t talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he shared on an episode of his and brother Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast at the time.

Travis continued: “So, I was a little butthurt I didn’t get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her. … She doesn’t meet anybody — or at least she didn’t want to meet me, so I took it personal. But it was an unbelievable show.”

Swift told TIME in December 2023 that she “started hanging out” with Travis after he “very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell.”

Two months after their relationship went public, Travis used a break in his football schedule to travel to Buenos Aires for his second Eras Tour concert. During the show’s finale, Swift surprised the tight end and fans by changing the lyrics to her finale song, “Karma,” from “guy on the screen,” which was a reference to her ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, to “guy on the Chiefs.”

Fans captured Travis’ reaction to the lyrics shout-out via social media. Taylor’s dad, Scott Swift, gave Travis a playful shove before he covered his face with his hands and blushed. The couple were also filmed sharing a passionate kiss backstage after the show.

Travis opened up about his Argentina Eras Tour experience on the “New Heights” podcast not long after. Though he admitted to having “a little bit of a clue” about the “Karma” lyric change, Travis said it “shocked” him nonetheless. “I was like, ‘Oh … she really just said that.’”

He went on to apologize for leaving Scott hanging as he tried to give him a high-five during the finale song. “Mr. Swift, I apologize, big guy,” Travis stated. “I never miss a high-five, too, big high-five guy. It’s the most electric thing you could do at an event.”

Travis followed up the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory by heading to Sydney for the second leg of Swift’s Australia Eras Tour shows. While attending the first of her four nights at Accor Stadium, Travis sported several friendship bracelets while hanging out in a VIP tent with fellow celebrity attendees Rita Ora, Taika Waititi and Katy Perry. He was also seen walking around handing out guitar picks to fans with his friend and fellow football player, Ross Travis.

Taylor, for her part, gave her boyfriend several sweet nods during the performance. In addition to repeating her “Karma” lyric change, she pointed to Travis while singing the “Willow” lyric “That’s my man” and the “Long Live” line “When they gave us our trophies.” The later shout-out seemingly was a reference to both Travis’ Super Bowl victory and her Grammy Awards wins earlier that month. Just like Argentina, the pair were seen sharing another backstage embrace and kiss.

“Taylor’s very fond of performing in Australia because of the crowds over there and how into it they get,” Travis recalled of his time Down Under on the “New Heights” podcast. “Shout-out to Australia for showing up, showing out.”

Gal Gadot dropped a super surprise by announcing the birth of her and husband Jaron Varsano’s fourth baby.

“My sweet girl, welcome. The pregnancy was not easy and we made it through,” the Wonder Woman actress, 38, captioned a hospital pic of herself snuggling her newborn daughter via Instagram on Wednesday, March 6. “You have brought so much light into our lives, living up to your name, Ori, which means ‘my light’ in Hebrew. Our hearts are full of gratitude.”

Gadot went on to welcome her daughter into her family’s “house of girls,” adding, “Daddy is pretty cool too 😉❤.” Gadot and Varsano, 49, also share daughters Alma, 12, Maya, 6, and Daniella, 2.

Gadot’s baby news came as a surprise to fans as she had not publicly revealed her pregnancy. “Everyone knows that the only thing superior to Wonder Woman is Mother Woman 😇,” one Instagram user wrote in the post’s comments, while another stated, “Mazal tov!! I’m sure she’s beautiful like her mama!!”

The Israel native previously gushed about her role as a mother in a January 2022 interview with InStyle, sharing, “I started young, I was 25 when I was pregnant with Alma. I always wanted to be a young mother. Yeah, three kids. No joke, woman. God bless them but it’s so much work.”

Gadot went on to note that she enjoyed labor so much she “would do it once a week if could.” She explained: “It’s so magical. And I always take epidurals, to be fair, so it’s not so painful. Just the moment you feel like you’re creating life, it’s incredible. But the pregnancies are hard for me — I feel sick and have migraines. I’m not in my element.”

Varsano, for his part, praised how his wife manages to “keep a very balanced family life and work [life],” telling the outlet, “Everything is just smooth. That’s a very impressive thing, to juggle everything at the same time and stay normal.”

Gadot has offered glimpses into her family’s life via social media over the years. “We took a little family vacation before the next adventure 🌳☀❤,” she wrote alongside an Instagram slideshow of family photos in May 2022. “Just the five of us, some good food and a whole lot of nature. Now I’m more than ready to jump into a new exciting project.”

She shared more snaps of her kids in a June 2023 Father’s Day Instagram tribute for Varsano, including a pic of the couple holding their youngest two daughters while on a hike and Varsano giving Alma a piggyback ride. “I’m lucky to have @jaronvarsano as the aba to my daughters. I couldn’t ask for a better role model, fun and funny dad for them,” she wrote at the time. “We love you baby, you’re our rock. Our compass and our heart ♥.”

Gadot has several film projects in the works. She stars as the Evil Queen alongside Rachel Zegler in Disney’s upcoming live-action Snow White and will portray Cleopatra in a film about the Egyptian queen.

Joel McHale Confirms ‘Community’ Movie Will Start Filming ‘This Year’

Class is almost back in session as the cast of Community returns for a brand-new movie on Peacock.

The NBC streaming service confirmed in 2022 that the sitcom, created by Dan Harmon, would be getting the movie treatment starring many of its original cast members. The announcement fulfilled one of Community’s longest-running jokes, as Danny Pudi’s Abed Nadir often declared that the show would run for “six seasons and a movie.”

Community premiered on NBC in 2009 and followed the antics of a study group at Greendale Community College. It ran for five seasons before being canceled in 2014, though it was ultimately picked up for one final season on the short-lived streamer Yahoo! Screen. The service shut down less than a year after Community’s final episode aired in June 2015.

Not long after the show’s conclusion, star Joel McHale teased that fans could see their hopes of a Community movie come to life down the line. “Dan Harmon has to write it, and writing a movie script takes a while,” he told HuffPostLive in June 2015. “It’s not necessarily an easy thing. So he has to write it, then we’ll get around to it.”

When Is the ‘Community’ Movie Going to Be Released?

A release date for the Community movie has not been announced, though it is expected to premiere in 2024. Like many TV shows and films, production on the projects was delayed due to the 2023 Hollywood WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.

Which ‘Community’ Cast Members Are Returning for the Movie?

At the time of the film’s announcement, McHale was revealed to be returning as Jeff Winger alongside Pudi as Abed Nadir, Alison Brie as Annie Edison, Gillian Jacobs as Britta Perry, Jim Rash as Dean Craig Pelton and Ken Jeong as Ben Chang.

Donald Glover, who played Troy Barnes, confirmed his return in a January 2024 interview with Entertainment Tonight, stating, “It’s really just a schedule thing [but] I’m in. I’m all in.” That same month, Jeong seemingly hinted that Yvette Nicole Brown, who portrayed Shirley Bennett, would also be returning while listing off cast member names on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

It is unknown whether some of Community’s recurring characters will return, such as John Oliver as Professor Ian Duncan, Jonathan Banks as Professor Buzz Hickey and Paget Brewster as Frankie Dart.

TV Shows That Were Saved After Cancellation

Will Chevy Chase Appear in the ‘Community’ Movie?

Chase will likely not reprise his role as Pierce Hawthorne in the movie as his character was killed off during season 5. He exited the series in 2012 after allegedly using the N-word on set. Although he apologized at the time, Glover claimed in 2018 that the actor made several racially insensitive jokes toward him while filming.

In September 2023, Chase criticized the show for not being “funny enough” for him, telling the “WTF with Marc Maron” podcast, “I felt a bit constrained. Everybody had their bits, and I thought they were all good. It just wasn’t hard-hitting enough for me.”

What Is the Plot of the ‘Community’ Movie?

The plot of the film is currently being kept under wraps, though it will likely see the former Greendale students reunite at the community college for some funny hijinks.

However, Harmon has teased what things fans shouldn’t expect to see when the film hits Peacock, such as another one of the show’s famous paintball fights.

“You’re running around with guns in a school, which was never a good idea on TV even back then,” he remarked on a December 2022 episode of the “Six Seasons and a Podcast” podcast.

He went on to note that the movie would not follow a similar plot to the show’s last season, which saw the study group return to Greendale to help save the school.

Does the ‘Community’ Movie Have a Script?

“I was told that the script was done,” Glover told Entertainment Tonight in January 2024. “I haven’t read it yet.”

Harmon confirmed Glover’s comments in a February 2024 interview with Variety, noting, “But I will also say Donald’s sources are so unreliable because the script is always ‘almost done.’”

Teasing the film’s plot, Harmon continued: “What can I tell you about it — it’s set on the campus of Greendale Community College. I’m super excited about it, and we’re almost done.”

When Will the ‘Community’ Movie Start Filming?

McHale said he’ll be “shocked” if the movie doesn’t start filming “this year.”

“But I really do think it’s happening this year, and probably next week,” he revealed during a March 2024 interview with Deadline. “It’s basically working around Donald’s schedule.”
