Taylor Swift recently addressed the controversy surrounding the film It Ends with Us, which features her longtime friend Blake Lively and includes music contributed by Swift. In a light-hearted and humorous response, Swift remarked, “Blake has made the film too controversial, so I’d better stay as far away as possible!”

Swift’s comment reflects her playful and supportive relationship with Lively, while also acknowledging the heightened discussions surrounding the film. It Ends with Us, adapted from Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel, has stirred conversations for its intense themes and emotional depth, leading to significant public and media attention.

Despite the controversy, Swift’s involvement in the soundtrack remains a testament to her commitment to supporting her friends and contributing to meaningful projects. Her decision to comment in a light-hearted manner underscores her ability to navigate public discussions with grace and humor.

As fans and critics continue to debate the film’s impact, Swift’s supportive stance and clever remark highlight her enduring friendship with Lively and her knack for handling complex situations with ease.

Justin Timberlake posted a montage of heartwarming family moments on wife Jessica Biel’s 42nd birthday. The two are parents to sons Silas, 8, and Phinneas, 3.

You can’t stop the feeling when it comes to Justin Timberlake‘s birthday tribute to wife Jessica Biel.

To celebrate the Sinner actress turned 42, the “SexyBack” singer shared a sweet montage of family photos, including rare images of their sons Silas, 8, and Phinneas, 3, set to the late Tina Turner‘s 1989 hit “The Best.”

One of the pics the Grammy winner posted was a 2018 photo of Jessica kissing their eldest son during a family vacation to Paris. Justin also posted a more recent video of his wife hugging Phinneas.

The actress is also shown in the “Can’t Stop the Feeling!” singer’s montage working out, going boating, dancing with her husband onstage and appearing with him on a few date nights.

“There ain’t no other way to say it. You’re the best,” Justin captioned the March 3 Instagram post. “I love you. Happy birthday, ya [goat emoji]!

Jessica, who has been married to Justin since 2012, had also shared a sweet tribute to her husband for his 43rd birthday back in January.

“I ALWAYS got you. Happy birthday, babe,” she captioned an Instagram video featuring videos and photos of the couple, paired with Boom Forest‘s cover of Sonny & Cher‘s 1965 hit “I Got You.”

The two have occasionally offered their Instagram followers glimpses of their family life with their children.

“My kids make my life totally insane and so fun,” Jessica told E! News’ Francesca Amiker last June, “and so full of love.”

See Justin’s latest photos of Jessica, Silas and Phinneas as well as more of their sweet family moments over the years:

I don’t see her as a celebrity, but someone who gain fame out of controversy, definitely not in my class” Taylor swift shades Kim Kardashian

Travis Kelce is adding “game show host” to his resume — and his first show will be a riff on a classic.

According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, the Kansas City Chiefs player, 34, is heading up a new game show series that features a classic premise — with a slight twist. Variety previously reported that Kelce was going to be hosting a reboot of Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? earlier this month (which PEOPLE also reported), and the source now confirms this is accurate.

Taylor Swift Fans Declare War on Kim Kardashian, for Saying she’s in Love with ‘Travis kelce ‘

Afaction of Taylor Swift fans has taken aim at Kim Kardashian, after the singer spoke out about how she was affected mentally by her feud with the reality star and her now ex-husband Kanye “Ye” West.

Swift, who was named Time’s 2023 Person of the Year, spoke with the magazine about a number of elements in her life and career in a wide-ranging cover story. Among the subjects she touched upon was West’s 2016 track “Famous,” in which he made a vulgar reference to her, which she denied approving.

Los Angeles Sparks rookie Cameron Brink grabs attention again with a fashionable

Cameron Brink once again made a style statement during her recent night out with her friends in Los Angeles. She took to her Instagram and posted a carousel of pictures.

She could be seen rocking a cropped tank top in blue and gray alongside a mini-skirt in the same colors.

Even the purse, which was an Alexander Wang’s Heiress Flex Bag in Crystal Mesh, she had was the same color.

She finished the look with some knee-high boots.

The first picture that Cameron Brink posted showed her posing by herself.

In the second picture, Brink has her right hand on her hip. In the third photo, she has her right arm near her back as she gives her best model pose.

The fourth and fifth pictures finally added the friends to the night.

Brink is certainly missed on the court.

Prior to her exit with an injury, she was in the midst of an impressive season.

Brink showed why she was the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 draft, averaging 7.5 points and 5.3 rebounds in 22.0 minutes per game, per ESPN.

Los Angeles Sparks Have Struggled Terribly Without Cameron Brink

The Los Angeles Sparks weren’t playing the best ball with Cameron Brink in the lineup, but they were at least competitive and were only going to get better as the season progressed.

The 22-year-old suffered a torn ACL during the first quarter of Los Angeles’ 79-70 loss to the Connecticut Sun on June 18th.

In the time that Brink has been gone, the Sparks have lost 14 of 16 games as they sit with a 6-24 overall record.

Sara HainesABC

Sara Haines will be returning to “The View” in September as a co-host for Season 24 of the ABC daytime talk show, Variety has learned.

Haines, 42, is no stranger to the Hot Topics table. She served as a “View” co-host for two seasons — from the fall of 2016 through the summer of 2018 — where she offered her takes on the headlines of the day, pop culture and celebrities. Prior to “The View,” Haines had served as a lifestyle anchor for “GMA Weekend.”

A representative at ABC declined to comment.

Haines will fill the seat at the table left by Abby Huntsman, who exited the show in January 2020.

In the last few months, Haines has filled in occasionally on “The View,” which has had its co-hosts – Whoopi Goldberg, Joy Behar, Meghan McCain and Sunny Hostin – engaging in virtual debates from home due to the coronavirus.

Election years have always led to surges in viewership for “The View.” The talk show’s ratings have been up overall under Donald Trump’s presidency, as viewers have been tuning in to make sense of the latest scandals coming out of the White House.

When Haines first arrived at “The View” in 2016, the show was struggling to forge a new identity following a revolving door of co-hosts and the retirement of creator Barbara Walters in 2014. Haines was appointed to the show as Ben Sherwood, the president of Disney/ABC Television Group at the time, had the idea to recruit more “GMA” talent — including Paula Faris — to “The View.”

Then, in 2016, Sherwood and ABC News executives mandated that Haines abandon “The View” for a third hour of “GMA,” called “GMA Day,” with Michael Strahan. The new offering – which was later rebranded as “Strahan, Sara and Keke” (with Keke Palmer) – flopped in the ratings and was canceled in March, leaving Haines without a TV home.

In its early days of “The View,” Walters thought her talk show could survive maybe one or two panel changes. But over its 23-year history, “The View” has had almost as many cast shake-ups as “SNL.” Haines is the third co-host to attempt a comeback.

In 2014, Rosie O’Donnell tried a second stint on “The View,” following a successful turn as moderator in 2006-07, which lasted for five months before she quit. And in 2015, Behar — who had been fired from “The View” in 2013 when daytime executives foolishly thought the show had become too political — returned, helping usher in a successful post-Walters era.

Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian Feud Timeline

Taylor Swift and Kim Kardashian have had a rocky road, but where do they stand now after their years-long feud?

To be fair, it’s not Kardashian’s fault that she was dragged into drama with Swift. She just happened to be married to Kanye West, and defending her now-ex-husband made things pretty complicated.

 

In 2009, West infamously interrupted Swift’s VMAs acceptance speech, declaring that Beyoncé should have won that particular award instead. West subsequently apologized, and it seemed that everything was copacetic — until 2016, when West dropped his Life of Pablo album.

The record includes the song “Famous,” on which West says, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? / I made that bitch famous.”

 

Swift released a statement at the time, declaring that she was not aware she would be referred to as “that bitch” in the song — but Kardashian felt otherwise.

“She totally approved that,” the reality star claimed of the lyric in her June 2016 GQ cover story. A few snake emojis later, her feud with Swift was born.

Kardashian called herself “the biggest Taylor Swift fan” during an interview with Entertainment Tonight.

August 2015

When West and Swift buried the hatchet at the MTV VMAs, Kardashian was present. The Skims founder stood with her arm around the singer as West took the stage to accept the Video Vanguard Award.

June 2016

Kardashian defended West’s “Famous” lyric in her GQ interview.

“She totally knew that that was coming out,” Kardashian claimed. “She wanted to all of a sudden act like she didn’t. I swear, my husband gets so much s—t for things [when] he really was doing proper protocol and even called to get it approved.”

Swift later argued that Kardashian’s account of what went down between herself and West was “incorrect,” claiming that she and West “only spoke once on the phone” about “Famous” in January 2016 and she “never denied that conversation.”

Kardashian released the footage of Swift and West’s phone call via Snapchat — complete with snake emojis. During the conversation, Swift appeared to only be privy to the lyric “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex,” which she signed off on. Her biggest issue was with the “I made that bitch famous” portion.

“Of course I wanted to like the song. I wanted to believe Kanye when he told me that I would love the song. I wanted us to have a friendly relationship. He promised to play the song for me, but he never did,” Swift posted after the video went public. “While I wanted to be supportive of Kanye on the phone call, you cannot ‘approve’ a song you haven’t heard. Being falsely painted as a liar when I was never given the full story or played any part of the song is character assassination.”

August 2017

Swift released “Look What You Made Me Do” as a way to reclaim her career — and the use of snake imagery.

January 2019

Kardashian declared that she had “moved on” from the Swift drama during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen.

March 2020

The full phone call between Swift and West was leaked online, proving that she really wasn’t privy to the “bitch” line.

“Instead of answering those who are asking how I feel about the video footage that leaked, proving that I was telling the truth the whole time about *that call* (you know, the one that was illegally recorded, that somebody edited and manipulated in order to frame me and put me, my family and fans through hell for 4 years) … SWIPE UP to see what really matters,” Swift posted at the time, promoting the World Health Organization and Feeding America amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Kardashian responded as well, asserting that her “only issue” with Swift was that she “lied,” adding, “They clearly spoke so I let you all see that. Nobody ever denied the word ‘bitch’ was used without her permission.”

Swift reflected on the feud during an interview with TIME, calling it “a career death” that “took [her] down psychologically to a place [she’d] never been before.”

“You have a fully manufactured frame job, in an illegally recorded phone call, which Kim Kardashian edited and then put out to say to everyone that I was a liar,” she recalled.

When Swift released The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology, she included a song called “thanK you aIMee,” which appeared to be a reference to Kardashian as the capitalized letters spell out KIM.

The lyrics paint the seemingly fictional Aimee as a bully, which is how Swift has alluded to Kardashian in the past. Swift did, however, offer Aimee some credit at one point in the track.

“I can’t forgive the way you made me feel / Screamed ‘F—k you, Aimee’ to the night sky, as the blood was gushin’,” she sings. “But I can’t forget the way you made me heal.”

Justin Timberlake swore off alcohol in the wake of his humiliating DUI bust, but insiders claim he’s hating every second of his sobriety.

The pop star made concessions to wife Jessica Biel to keep the peace after his arrest and is now complaining to friends about how “boring” life is without it, RadarOnline.com can reveal.

Source: MEGATimberlake dropped his “bad habits” to get on wife Jessica Biel’s good side following his arrest.

Insiders said: “He’s on a strict health regime and trying to crawl back into his wife Jessica Biel’s good books, but he’s not a happy camper.”

Police said Timberlake, 43, was intoxicated when he blew through a stop sign in the Hamptons after a night out with friends at a Sag Harbor hotel on June 18.

Source: MEGATimberlake failed multiple sobriety tests and refused to take a breathalyzer when he was arrested in June.

As RadarOnline.com reported, the former boy band member refused to take a breathalyzer test three times and failed several sobriety tests during the traffic stop.

Arresting officer Michael Arkinson noted in his report the singer was “unable to follow police instructions correctly” and had “bloodshot and glassy eyes, odor of alcoholic beverage emanating from breath, inability to divide attention and was unsteady afoot”.

Despite the descriptions, the Cry Me a River singer insisted he only had “one martini”.

Source: MEGA

His lawyers attempted to have his case dismissed as he pleaded not guilty to the charges, but a judge suspended his driver’s license in New York. Another hearing is scheduled for September 13.

Since his arrest, sources claim the 43-year-old has been in hot water with Biel, 42, who is said to be “tired of his misbehaving and ordered him to shape up or else”.

Sources added: “He was busted with a vape pen – a big worry because of the effect it can have on his lungs – so he’s now ditched that for good.

“And he’s gone pretty much cold turkey on the booze except for the occasional glass of wine at dinner or on special occasions, but he’s committed to a very clean life – and it’s not been easy.”

Source: MEGABiel was said to be very “angry” with the singer for letting a “selfish and stupid” thing happen.

The 7th Heaven star, who shares sons Silas, 9, and Phineas, 4, with the Grammy-winning artist, is apparently keeping a close eye on her husband.

Insiders said: “He’s admitted to his friends that it’s very boring because there’s nothing to take the edge off, especially when he’s out on the road.

“But he’s promised his wife to clean up his act and he’s sticking to it, no matter how tough it gets.”

Timberlake’s “strict health regime” was implemented after he recognized he had some “bad habits” landing him behind bars.

Sources said: “Part of Justin’s mea culpa to Jessica was to admit that he’d gotten into some bad habits and that he needs to dial everything way back.”

Biel was said to be “angry” with her husband because “Justin could’ve hurt someone or himself”.

Insiders added: “It was a selfish and stupid thing to have let happen.”

Sophie Cunningham cannot be stopped and is barely contained when it comes to fashion.

The Phoenix Mercury star possibly wore her riskiest outfit of the 2024 season when she showed up to a recent game without wearing any underwear.

Sophie Cunningham showed up to Footprint Center on Monday night to play a game against the New York Liberty rocking a “Get Off My Shoulders Mesh Mini Dress” from Fashion Nova.

The multicolored outfit featured a strapless dress so high that the superstar guard could barely cover her lady parts.

She also showed off her tan lines and made it clear that she had no underwear on with the outfit.

Sophie Cunningham added some brown heels and sunglasses as she gave her best model walk as she made her way to the locker room.

---

Unfortunately for Sophie Cunningham and the Phoenix Mercury, this would be the highlight of their night.

The team came out on their own floor flat, and it led to just scoring nine points total in the first quarter. They made up for it in the second frame as they outscored the Liberty by nine and tied the game at half.

The second-half offense failed to come out, and the team couldn’t score 20 points in either the third or fourth quarter. They ended up losing by double digits, 84-70.

In 32 minutes, Sophie Cunningham had a rough shooting night. She scored just two points on 1 of 5 shooting from the field, including 0 for 3 from 3-point land.

Sophie Cunningham And The Mercury Need To Keep Winning To Ensure Playoff Spot

Last year was a bad season for the Phoenix Mercury as they welcomed Brittany Griner back from her Russia imprisonment.

Things have been much different in 2024, as Sophie Cunningham has been a big reason the team is above .500 and currently sitting sixth in the standings, per ESPN.

The top eight teams make the playoffs, so the team needs to continue to rack up victories to secure their spot.

During a busy week in politics, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren weighed in on all the commotion.

The politician stopped by this morning’s episode of The View, where she warned the co-hosts that former president Donald Trump‘s running mate J.D. Vance is not the same man who criticized Trump years ago.

(Editor’s Note: The View is currently on hiatus; contrary to what you may have heard, The View was not canceled today. This article was originally published on July 17, 2024 when this episode first aired. The View will return with new episodes in September.)

“Understand who J.D. Vance is — and I’m not talking about the original J.D. Vance who referred to Donald Trump as ‘America’s Hitler,’” she said. “But the J.D. Vance who’s evidently changed his position.”

Warren added, “He is the J.D. Vance now who is more Trump than Trump on abortion,” noting that Vance will also “help” Trump “cut social security and medicare.”

She also pointed out that Vance wants to “get rid” of the Affordable Care Act, which she said would be a “real risk” for Americans with health insurance since it doesn’t allow insurance companies to “discriminate against” people with pre-existing conditions.

“It’s J.D. Vance who owes his entire political career to billionaires — literally — who swooped in, poured money into his race in Ohio, lifted him up and he is all there on a tax cut that would give every billionaire $3.5 million every year in tax cuts, paid for by you,” she continued. “Not good. That’s who he is.”

The View co-hosts first brought attention to Vance on their July 16 episode when Joy Behar thought he would be “a good choice” for Democrats.

“He’s a carbon copy of Trump. So what new voters is he gonna bring in?” Behar said. “Not the suburban mom. Not the girl who needs an abortion. Not the gay people who want to retain their rights. Not people who support Ukraine. So, what exactly did he accomplish?”

Alyssa Farah Griffin admitted that Vance had “some talents” given his background at Yale and in the Marines, though she also pointed out some of the more controversial moments from his career.

“For every normal interview he’s given in mainstream media, there are extremely polarizing clips of him in some of the farthest right corners of the internet espousing things that are outside of the political mainstream,” she said, adding that there has been “a total realignment of Republican politics.”

Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift (Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)
Fans are speculating that Brittany Mahomes’ friendship with Taylor Swift could be on the mend due to their political affiliations. This is after Mahomes was outed as a Donald Trump supporter.

With the press of a finger, Brittany gave her haters another reason to dislike her.

It came after followers of the sports team owner noticed she had liked a post on former President Donald Trump’s account that outlined the Republican Party’s platform for the 2024 election, including deporting “pro-Hamas radicals” and keeping “men out of women’s sports.”

Patrick Mahomes ‘ wife Brittany caused quite the stir but she did not let people come at her without a response.

Mahomes condemned “haters” amid backlash to a post she apparently liked on Instagram by Donald Trump.

“To be a hater as an adult, you have to have some deep-rooted issues you refuse to heal from childhood,” a post on Mahomes’s Instagram story read. “There’s no reason your brain is fully developed, and you hate to see others doing well.”

That “like” was enough to spark outrage, including among Taylor Swift fans who followed Brittany Mahomes after Swift and Travis Kelce started dating last year.

Now, many of them are not only unfollowing but hoping that their friendship ends as a result.

Brittany Mahomes and Taylor Swift’s Friendship Appears To Be Just Fine

Fresh out of ending the European leg of her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift began spending quality time with her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, and their friends.

Swift and Travis were first spotted in Rhode Island to hang out with several of their famous friends, including Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Mahomes, per PEOPLE.

Swift and Brittany have been friends since Swift started dating Travis in 2023, and it does not appear the backlash from her liking a Trump-related post has changed anything.
