Not only do you have every lyric memorized and you’re not just singing them, but [you’re] screaming every single lyric to every single song. You know how happy that makes me? [It] makes me so happy. You have hands in the air, you’re waving to me, you’re putting on your own theatrical performances in the audience. This is a dream crowd, so that makes it so much fun for me and my fellow performers on the stage.” As Swift’s Eras shows f

That’s like their second youngest, which Remy is way younger than but they’re about the same size so I guess they thought they were the same age.” According to Russell, Thomas Rhett’s viral video from Easter Sunday was the real deal and not planned at all. “She just walked up and grabbed his hand and they were walking and going here and going there all around the party,” Russell recalled. “The video could not have been more perfect. They’re walking by and TR sees them and he’s just, like, thumbs down. I was like, ‘Whatever, bro.’ He just knows that he’s going to be the one that has to pay for the wedding and we’re not going to settle for

Courtesy of Brittany Mahomes/Instagram Patrick Mahomes is a creature of habit when it comes to what he eats before his NFL games, according to his wife, Brittany Mahomes . “He has specific things he eats, yeah. On game day, it’s like a grilled chicken sandwich with French fries and ketchup,” Brittany, 28, shared on the Wednesday, August 28, episode of the “WHOOP” podcast . “I mean, in previous [years], it would be, like, a cheeseburger, but he’s come a long way.” The only instance in which Patrick’s pregame meal changes is when he’s out on the road. “The night before games, he’s not normally home, so he’s at a hotel or at an away hotel. And so, they provide him dinner,” Brittany explained. “But if he is at home on game day, he gets a grilled chicken sandwich with French fries every day.” Brittany clarified that her husband, whom she wed in 2022, has made big strides with his diet. “When I used to cook for him, I would trick him into [eating

So Many Hot Movie Stars Were Born on August 26 That It Should Be a Holiday

Image
Stefanie Keenan/Getty Images ; Lionsgate Films Real talk, August 26 should be a national holiday — or at least a day of observance — due to how many hot movie stars were born on that date. Chris Pine , Dylan O’Brien and Keke Palmer are just three of the eight major actors who share the same birthdate, and we’re not complaining. What makes these stars even hotter is that they are unfazed by their sex appeal. “I got my start playing boyfriends, princes, husbands to be,” Pine told W Magazine in January 2017, reliving his rise to fame. The actor then broke into a funny English accent, adding, “It was a large responsibility, of course!” He teased that “wasn’t too good at many other things” so following in his parents’ acting footsteps “just kinda happened.” (Chris’ dad, Robert Pine , is still an actor, while his mother, Gwynne Gilford , left the industry in 1987.) Luckily for Us , Chris has grown into a box office smash in his own right since his 2004 movie debut in The Princess D

More than 20 years after their wedding, Bachelor Nation’s Trista and Ryan Sutter ‘s love story still gives Us butterflies. In a September 2003 issue of Us Weekly , the original Bachelorette and her now-husband exclusively dished about their dream wedding , which would go on to mark the franchise’s first-ever televised ceremony. The couple went on to welcome two children, son Maxwell in 2007 and daughter Blakesley in 2009. Today, the pair are still happily married, proving that you actually can find true love on reality TV. Earlier this year, however, Ryan sparked concern with a handful of cryptic social media messages. He revealed via Instagram in May that the twosome weren’t spending Mother’s Day together. As fans began to fear another Bachelor Nation couple bit the dust, Ryan offered an explanation in a separate Instagram post. “Trista is fine. We are fine. We’re great,” he wrote. “Trista is at a place in life where she is searching a bit. An opportunity presented itself that m

'The Facts of Life' Cast: Where Are They Now?

More than 40 years after its premiere, The Facts of Life is still giving Us something to talk about. The sitcom debuted on NBC in August 1979 as a spinoff of Diff’rent Strokes. The Facts of Life aired for nine seasons, becoming one of the longest-running sitcoms of the ’80s. Before the series came to an end in 1988, the story of boarding school housemother Edna Garrett ( Charlotte Rae ) was expanded with two TV movies. The Facts of Life Goes to Paris aired in 1982, followed by The Facts of Life Down Under in 1987. A third film, The Facts of Life Reunion , brought together nearly the entire cast in 2001. ( Nancy McKeon , who played Jo, was unable to participate at the time due to scheduling.) Shortly before its 45th anniversary, the series found itself in the spotlight again after Mindy Cohn claimed in July 2024 that Norman Lear approached her and former costars Lisa Whelchel , Kim Fields and McKeon about a potential reboot. During an appearance on SiriusXM’s Jeff Lewis Liv
