Taylor Swift; Simone Biles Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images ; Jamie Squire/Getty Images Taylor Swift is clearly ready for Simone Biles to make the Paris Olympics team. Throughout the competition season, Biles, 27, has performed a gymnastics floor routine set to Swift’s “…Ready for It?” from 2017’s Reputation. The gold medalist rocked the number on Friday, June 28, during the first day of the Olympic Trials, which impressed the 34-year-old pop star. “Watched this so many times and still unready. She’s ready for it tho,” Swift gushed via X on Saturday, June 29, replying to NBC Sports’ coverage of the choreography. Swift also added three clapping emojis, as well as ones representing a gold medal, an American flag and a red heart. The Swift-inspired routine earned a score of 14.850, helping Biles land at the top of the all-around leaderboard going into the next round of qualifying events. Biles will participate in another round of trials on Sunday, June 30, for a spot on Team USA...

Getty Images (2) Celebrities are just like Us — even they enjoy burying their noses in a good book. Several stars have shared their love of reading with fans by creating their own book clubs. Today host Jenna Bush Hager launched her Read With Jenna book club in 2019 and has recommended nearly 70 of her favorite novels to fans. She has also donated hundreds of books to libraries across the country. “I love reading for so many reasons. It really is my escape from everyday life,” she shared in a January 2023 interview with Today.com . “It’s how I calm down. It’s how I detach. It’s how I fall in love with other places that I will never go to. It’s how I empathize with characters who are nothing like me. There’s nothing like falling in love with a book.” Meanwhile, Reese Witherspoon has adapted many of her book club picks, such as Where the Crawdads Sing and Daisy Jones & The Six , into movies and TV shows through her production company, Hello Sunshine. 'One Day' an...

Bethenny Frankel isn’t worried about putting dating rules in place for her 14-year-old daughter, Bryn, just yet. “I like that she’s not boy crazy or desperate,” Frankel, 53, exclusively shares in the newest issue of Us Weekly . “But she sees that in me. I’m perfectly happy being alone — I’m an only child, and so is she — and that’s an important thing to learn. She’s doing great, honestly. She’s a good kid.” Becoming a mother is something Frankel tells Us came “naturally” to her despite having a rocky childhood. “We can say I’m breaking the chain and it’s because of the [upbringing] I had, but I don’t ask for advice on parenting,” she explains. “I had my daughter, clicked in, connected and felt like I knew where I was supposed to be. I’m confident and secure in it, the way that I am in business.” While the two share a close relationship, Frankel says that Bryn also “lives for her friends and her social life,” adding, “We spend a lot of time together: We [go on] amazing trips, go to...

Wiz Khalifa is looking to Taylor Swift to help him and his Password partner to win the iconic game show. “Wiz, it’s up to you if you want to play or pass,” host Keke Palmer says in Us Weekly ’s exclusive first look of the Tuesday, July 2, episode, on which Khalifa, 36, faces off against Jimmy Fallon . In the clip, the announcer reveals that the password is “Swift,” which leads the audience to gasp. Palmer, 30, and Khalifa immediately recognize the best possible clue. “I know what to say!” Palmer gushes.

Erin Andrews and Kylie Kelce Getty Images (2) Kylie Kelce is the unsung hero of the Eras Tour — at least according to Erin Andrews . Initially, Andrews, 46, recalled having “a meltdown” after meeting Kylie, 32, in the bathroom at Taylor Swift ’s Eras Tour in London this past weekend . Then, the news anchor shared a story in which Kylie helped a Swiftie in distress during the concert. “She’s amazing. She was really, really a cool girl. I’ll also say this, an amazing mother. She saw a fan maybe that needed water right away, didn’t think twice about it,” Andrews said during the Wednesday, June 26, episode of her “Calm Down” podcast . “She grabbed water from the tent, threw it at the fan. I was like, this chick is incredible. Kylie, she’s amazing.” Both Andrews and her cohost Charissa Thompson referred to Kylie as “the MVP” of the night. Thompson, 42, even compared the mother of three to Swift, 34, herself. (Kylie shares daughters Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 16 months w...

Robert Pattinson Stephane Cardinale - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images If you thought the ‘90s/’00s fashion revival was just a female affair, then this news may come as a shock: frosted tips are back! Robert Pattinson showed off his foray into bleached ends at the Dior Homme show at Paris Fashion Week over the weekend — but it’s not the only questionable turn of the century trend for men that seems to be re-emerging faster than you can say “That’s so fetch.” At 38, you might think R-Pattz is old enough to remember frosted tips from the first time around and that this should be enough to put him off, but you would only be half right. Crucially, Pattinson probably wasn’t old enough to be allowed them himself back then, as the original frosted tips crew, like NSync and Joshua Jackson (Pacey getting them was a whole storyline in Dawson’s Creek ), are now in their mid-forties.

Chris Lane, Lauren Bushnell, and Ben Higgins. Getty Images (2) Country star Chris Lane was not expecting to ruffle feathers within Bachelor Nation when posting a photo of Ben Higgins last month. “Before I even posted that, I actually texted Ben,” Lane, 39, said during the “Almost Famous” podcast on Tuesday, June 25. “The last thing I would ever want to do is do something disrespectful like that. So, I asked him if he was cool with me posting that and that, obviously, I don’t mean anything by it.” He continued, “I didn’t realize I was going to shake things up and I guess I should have posted, ‘Ben’s OK with me posting this photo.’” iHeartRadio Chief Programming Officer, Tom Poleman , was actually the first to start the drama by sharing a throwback photo of Higgins, 35, along with Lane and his now-wife, Lauren Bushnell . Chris Lane: I ‘Pray’ Baby No. 3 Doesn’t Happen ‘Soon’ After 2nd Son's Birth “How it started / How it’s going,” he captioned the May 5 post. “The moment w...

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Gotham/GC Images Travis Kelce opened a can of worms — accidentally getting Jake Gyllenhaal ’s name brought into the conversation — when discussing who girlfriend Taylor Swift ’s song “Karma” is about. Kelce, 34, appeared on the Tuesday, June 25, episode of the “Bussin’ With the Boys” podcast where he and hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan ranked their top three Swift songs. Compton, 34, put “Karma” from Swift’s 2022 Midnights album on his list because it’s his 2-year-old daughter Cerulean Belle’s favorite. “Does she know who Karma is?” Kelce asked. His question was referring to Swift’s November 2023 lyric change to “Karma is the guy on the Chiefs” instead of “Karma is the guy on the screen.” Compton was visibly confused by the question — and blamed it on his daughter. Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Relationship Timeline “I don’t know if Rue knows who ‘Karma’ is about,” he said, calling Cerulean by her nickname. “‘Karma’ is Gyllenhaal, right...

Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit celebrated its 30th anniversary in June 2024 — and fans were more than willing to toast the movie’s success. In the sequel to 1992’s Sister Act , Whoopi Goldberg reprises her role as Sister Mary Clarence to help Mother Superior ( Maggie Smith ) save St. Francis Catholic High School from closing. While undercover as a nun — Mary Clarence is really Las Vegas singer Deloris — she reconnects with Sister Mary Patrick ( Kathy Najimy ), Sister Mary Lazarus ( Mary Wickes ) and Sister Mary Robert ( Wendy Makkena ). What makes Sister Act 2 unique, however, is that Mary Clarence uses her musical skills to help turn the students at the school into an award-winning choir. While some fans have kept up with the nuns from both Sister Act films , the whereabouts of the students in the choir aren’t as well followed. ‘Sister Act’ Cast: Where Are They Now?
