The Levine family went on the trip of a lifetime!

On February 13, Behati Prinsloo — the wife of Maroon 5 frontman and Voice Coach Adam Levine — gave fans an inside look at their private life via a collection of photos from his family’s recent trip to Tokyo, Japan.

Although Levine and his bandmates rocked the Tokyo Dome on three separate nights, there was still plenty of time for him and his family to make memories that would last a lifetim. Feast your eyes on some of the most incredible family photos you’ve ever seen from the fan-favorite Voice Coach.

“Gang in Tokyo 🇯🇵 ✌🏽🥩😴🐼🍣🍶🍜🥟🪶🎶,” Prinsloo said in a caption.

We thought nothing could beat the Instagram photo of him singing to his family while performing on stage in the Tokyo Dome, but this might have done just that.

It looks like Levine, Prinsloo, and their three kids (Dusty, Gio, and their two-year-old son) experienced everything Tokyo had to offer, from sampling delicious-looking sushi to wandering through the eclectic shops the city is known for. Of course, there are some seriously cool concert pics, too.

The word “epic” comes to mind when describing these pictures, and it’s clear from the comments that the Levine family is welcome back in Tokyo whenever they want. So many fans thanked them for coming and left super-sweet messages. Talk about hospitality!

Since making his triumphant return to The Voice in Season 27, Levine is back to balancing work — he still relentlessly tours with Maroon 5 — and his life at home. But these days, juggling everything is easier than it’s ever been.

During a 2023 PEOPLE interview, Levine admitted that he still couldn’t believe he had stumbled into such a wonderful life — the admission was one of the most down-to-earth things Levine fans had ever heard the 45-year-old rocker say!

“I don’t know how you can have a better life. I’m lucky enough to do what I love professionally but also have the greatest personal life and family I could ever ask for,” he explained. “And having kids and a wonderful wife, and just that life that I cling so much to. I love it so much. It means more than my career. But at the same time, having both is just a gift.”

Khis Middleton penned a heartfelt letter to the city of Milwaukee.

Following his trade to the Washington Wizards from the Milwaukee Bucks last week, Khris Middleton penned a heartfelt goodbye to the Bucks fans. The former Bucks forward posted the letter on his social media accounts.

The letter reads:

“Twelve years ago, I arrived in this city as a young player with big dreams. Today, I leave as an NBA champion, 3x All-Star, an Olympic gold medalist, and most importantly, someone who Milwaukee helped shape into the person and player I am today.

From the moment I stepped foot in this city, you embraced me. Together, we experienced the rebuilding years, the emergence of a championship contender, and ultimately, the unforgettable journey to the 2021 NBA Championship.

That magical run will stay with me forever – the late-game shots, the comeback victories, and most importantly, bringing the Larry O’Brien Trophy back to Milwaukee after 50 years.

To the incredible Bucks fans: Your passion and support through every up and down has been nothing short of amazing. From the early days at the Bradley Center, to the energy at Fiserv Forum and the packed Deer District during our championship run — the way this entire city rallies behind its team is something special that Ill always cherish.

To the Bucks organization: Thank you for believing in me, developing me, and giving me the opportunity to grow from a trade piece into an All-Star and champion.
To the Milwaukee community: This city has become my home.

The relationships built, the community initiatives we’ve worked on together, and the countless memories made both on and off the court will stay with me forever.

As I begin this new chapter, I’m excited for the opportunities ahead. But Milwaukee will always hold a special place in my heart.

This isn’t goodbye – it’s thank you.”

Khris Middleton was a cornerstone of the Bucks, playing a crucial role in their 2021 championship run and their continued pursuit of titles. Over 735 games with the team, Middleton averaged 17.1 points per game and was known as the team’s closer before Damian Lillard’s arrival in the 2023-2024 season.

He often delivered clutch shots to secure victories for Milwaukee. However, persistent injuries began to take a toll, impacting his role on the team.

This season, Middleton is averaging just 12.6 points over 23 games—his lowest since his first season with the Bucks in 2013-14. During the offseason, he underwent arthroscopic surgeries on both ankles, further hindering his performance.

Still, Middleton was a fan favorite as well as being well-liked in the locker room. Following Middleton’s trade, Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo took to his social media to show his love for his former teammate, posting two pictures of Middleton with the words, “My GOAT.”

Bobby Portis reaction to Khris Middleton’s trade to the Wizards.

Milwaukee Bucks center Bobby Portis didn’t hold back in his response to his former Khris Middleton’s trade to the Washington Wizards. The Bucks traded Middleton to the Wizards for Kyle Kuzma before the NBA trade deadline. It’s a move Portis anticipated due to Khris’s unwillingness to accept a buyout for the final year of his three-year deal, worth $34 million.

Portis admitted he would have done the same thing after revealing the day he found out Middleton was heading to the Wizards, per FanDuel TV’s Run it Back.

“I don’t see Khris in shoot around and I’m like damn where is Khris at? And they were like he’s getting traded,” Portis said. “[It’s] definitely one of those things where it’s like the business of basketball sucks and you have to move on and continue doing things, but I already knew they probably wasn’t going to buy him out. He has another year left on his deal. I can’t see him taking a buyout with another year left on his deal.

“Maybe if it was an expiring contract probably so but if I’m taking a buyout I’m not taking a buyout with 2 years left on my deal either. I’m keeping my bread for real. What am I taking a buyout for? For real like right now! I’m going to take the punches,” Bobby Portis concluded.

The Bucks acquired Kyle Kuzma, Patrick Baldwin Jr., and second-round draft compensation for Khris Middleton, AJ Johnson, and a pick swap. Portis, who was also subject to trade rumors, will be entering the fourth year of his four-year, $48.5 million. His player option for 2025-26 is worth $13.4 million.

How Do Reba McEntire And Rex Linn Celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Reba McEntire and her boyfriend, actor Rex Linn, are preparing to celebrate Valentine’s Day together. The pair, who have been dating since 2020, has a Valentine’s Day tradition they follow every year.

While some couples grab dinner at a fancy restaurant on Valentine’s Day, Reba and Rex’s date is much more low-key. They go to the same eatery every year, but it doesn’t serve traditional Valentine’s Day dinners like lobster or steak.

So, where do Reba and Rex go to eat dinner on Valentine’s Day? Sonic! 

“It’s a ritual,” Reba told TODAY in 2024 about her and Rex’s Valentine’s Day tradition. After hearing their story, Sonic enlisted the couple to promote a “Sweetheart Meal” for Valentine’s Day that year.

The couple’s romance blossomed when they went out to dinner (not at Sonic) with friends in 2020. Reba, who’s often professed her love for casual foods like corn dogs and chicken tenders, was thrilled to see that tater tots were on the menu.

Rex found it amusing how much Reba loved tater tots. So he proclaimed that he was giving her the nickname “Tater Tot,” and it stuck. As their relationship progressed, Reba started calling him “Sugar Tot,” and now they refer to themselves as “The Tots.”

To celebrate their shared love of crispy, barrel-shaped potatoes, Reba and Rex go to Sonic on Valentine’s Day. “Every year, it’s an ongoing thing with us: The Tots go to Sonic,” Reba told TODAY.

Reba also discussed her and Rex’s Valentine’s Day meal in a 2023 conversation with Garth Brooks. She said Rex buys the meal, and they eat their food in the car.

“We love Sonic tater tots, they’re absolutely wonderful. And to go in there and get a #1 cheeseburger with everything on it and tater tots? Man, that’s a great Valentine’s dinner. We loved it, sat right there in the car and ate it.”

The Couple Currently Stars On The New NBC Sitcom Happy’s Place

Reba and Rex are practically inseparable. Since they’ve started dating, they’ve starred in multiple projects together, including The Hammer and Big Sky.

The couple currently appears on the new NBC sitcom Happy’s Place. The show stars Reba as Bobbie, a woman who discovers she has a younger half-sister following their father’s death. She and her sister, Isabella, must learn how to work together as they become new business partners running their dad’s tavern.

Rex plays the tavern’s cook, Emmett. He has a gruff, no-nonsense demeanor but also seems to have a softer side, particularly for Bobbie.

Reba and Rex star in the show with Reba’s close friend and former Reba sitcom co-star Melissa Peterman, who plays a bartender named Gabby. Melissa said that Reba and Rex are “adorable” to see together on set.

“…oftentimes…we’re taking a five-minute break or we’re having breakfast or lunch and you look over and we have a bar set—it takes place at Happy’s Place—and you look over and they’re in a booth at the bar. And it looks like they’re legitimately on a date at a restaurant just sitting together being so adorably cute.”

“The Tots” also work well together in the show, as you can see from one of their scenes below. We hope they have the happiest Valentine’s Day this year!

One of the biggest names in country music is coming to a Massachusetts stadium this summer.

George Strait announced Wednesday that he and Chris Stapleton will play five stadium shows this year.

Among the shows includes one at Gillette Stadium in Mansfield on Saturday, June 21.

“George Strait is back to headline FIVE stadium shows this year,” a post on Strait’s Instagram reads. “Don’t miss your chance to see the King of Country LIVE.”

Country music star Parker McCollum will also serve as a surprise guest at the Massachusetts concert. Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 21. Fans can shop for tickets now using reliable third-party ticket sellers like StubHub, VividSeats and SeatGeek.

A full list of stadium shows is below:

May 10 — Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

May 31 — Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

June 14 — Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York

June 21 — Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts

July 19 — SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California

Dubbed the “King of Country Music,” Strait is multi-platinum, chart-topping and Grammy Award-winning artist.

The Country Music Hall of Fame inductee has sold more than 105 million albums and earned the third-most gold and platinum certifications of any artist, following The Beatles and Elvis Presley.

With more No. 1 songs than any other artist in history, Strait is also the only act to have a top 10 hit every year for more than three decades.

The Texas-born singer has released 31 studio albums with his most recent, “Cowboys And Dreamers,” being released in September 2024.

Last June, Strait broke the record for the largest crowd ever at a ticketed show in the U.S. The “Amarillo By Morning” singer drew an audience of 110,905 ticket-buying fans to his concert at Kyle Field on the campus of Texas A&M University in College Station, Texas Saturday, June 15.

Strait broke the previous record, which was held by the Grateful Dead, Billboard reported. The rock band had 107,019 fans attend their 1977 show at Raceway Park in New Jersey.

“I keep trying to slow down a bit but you keep calling me back. Please don’t ever stop. I still love it just as much as I always have,” Strait said in a press release. “Thank you for an amazing year last year and I can’t wait to see you for a few more again this year.”

Juju Watkins delivered one of those unforgettable performances.

The 19-year-old supernova out of USC shined against the undefeated, top-ranked UCLA on Thursday night and her display got everyone’s attention.

Juju Watkins has been hailed by her teammates for her leadership on court

Watkins entered the game against UCLA in a scoring slump but broke out of it when it mattered with 38-point performance to topple previously unbeaten UCLA.

iN game that demonstrated why analysts are already giving her the Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese tags, Watkins reached for perfection in front of a sold-out Galen Center crowd, that featured Hollywood star Kevin Hart and WNBA superstar Kelsey Plum, to make history in Los Angeles.

The win gave USC their first victory over a No.1 seed since 1983 and Watkins herself became the first Division One player in 20 years with at least 35 points, 5 blocks and 5 assists.

In true superstar fashion, Watkins had all of USC’s points in the second quarter and as the Bruins attempted to mount a comeback with a 10-0 run, she halted their momentum with a three-pointer that kept the Trojans ahead 38-35 at the half.

“I wear #12 to be like JuJu,” read a sign held by a youngster at the game, demonstrating the fame the 19-year-old is accruing.

However, it hasn’t all been rosy as of late for Watkins, her scoring slump saw her shoot 12 from 45 in her last two home games and was 4 of 25 from the 3-point range in that run.

“It took everything, it has been a rough couple weeks for me,” Watkins said on what was required to beat UCLA and get out of her poor run.

“There’s a lesson in everything and I think that is to always stay joyful on the court.”

Like all the best players do when they go on a dry run, Watkins came back with a bang, hitting 6 of 9 three-pointers and 8 of 10 free throws to go with 11 rebounds, eight blocks and five assists on the night.

“I didn’t plan on having that many blocks but that’s what we needed to win,” Watkins added.

Watkins would end the night with 38 points

Juju Watkins’ performances have earned her comparisons with Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark

USC coach Lindsay Gottlieb heaped praise on her response to the recent tough times, reminding reporters that this is a superstar they have on their team.

“JuJu’s just heroic with her shot-making and effort and intensity, especially coming with the million questions she gets when it’s not perfect out there,” Gottlieb said.

“We’ll never forget this night, it’s as good as anything I’ve ever seen.”

For such a big game, the stars were out in force with Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers in attendance, wearing a JuJu T-shirt, along with Hart, Issa Rae and singer Monica.

“When you have people like that show up you can’t disappoint,” Watkins said.

“I’m really just like a kid out there and just living out my dreams.”

Joe Burrow makes Chiefs fan Caitlin Clark a promise as he makes admission about WNBA star ahead of new season
While Watkins was awed by the presence of celebrities, the feeling with mutual as at one point during the game, comedian Hart mimicked a bow in her direction.

This victory for USC moves them into first place in the Big Ten Conference and it sets up a mouth-watering rematch with UCLA, who will host the clash, on March 1.

Angel Reese knows exactly who she wants the Chicago Sky to bag with the third pick in the WNBA draft.

The 22-year-old revealed her choice from the upcoming class and assessed the strengths of her WNBA rivals on an episode of her podcast ‘Unapologetically Angel.’

Angel Reese opened up on the Chicago Sky

With UConn Huskies star Paige Bueckers being selected by the Dallas Wings at No.1 a foregone conclusion, who goes at two, three and four is anyone’s guess.

Projections from analysts at ESPN expect Kiki Iriafen and Azzi Fudd to be the second and third picks from the Seattle Storm and Sky in the upcoming WNBA draft but stocks keep shifting.

Chicago superstar Reese told podcast guest Lisa Leslie she wants her team to select Olivia Miles when they are on the clock.

“It’s gonna be interesting with picks too, because Olivia Miles,” Leslie began.

“We’re trying to get her,” Reese quickly replied.

Leslie pointed out that attention on Miles is rising, saying: “I know, but she might up that stock. She might end up at two now.”

The Sky are in desperate need of a point guard and with Iriafen a power forward and Fudd a shooting guard, the next PG available is Miles.

ESPN projected Miles to be selected by the Washington Mystics at four but her standout performances in the ongoing college basketball season means it’ll be no shock if Seattle snaps her up with the second pick.

The 22-year-old is averaging an impressive 17 points, 6 rebounds and 6.3 assists per outing, leading Notre Dame to a stellar 22-2 record including a dominant 17-game winning streak.

This is not the first time Reese has publicly called for Miles’ arrival.

Angel Reese enjoyed a strong debut season before suffering an injury

The WNBA superstar is currently competing in the offseason Unrivaled league

When the point guard asked if she would wear her hair out for a game just last month, Reese chimed in with a cheeky suggestion.

“Yeah, but only if you color it blue and yellow,” she replied — a direct reference to the Sky’s team colors.

As Reese looks forward to the Sky strengthening their roster ahead of her sophomore season in the WNBA, the forward also recognized the strengths of rivals, particularly Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever.

The Fever have enjoyed a brilliant offseason with the addition of two WNBA champions in DeWanna Bonner and Natasha Howard.

Leslie, herself a double WNBA champion, told Reese: “Indiana has just gotten so much stronger, and they are trying to be contenders now, and they kept Kelsey Mitchell.”

Reese nodded in agreement before saying, “They did, yeah it’s tough.”

Angel Reese’s Unrivaled debut divides but fans jump to WNBA star’s defense
If Chicago can draft a star to pair with Reese at No.3, the Sky can enjoy a strong season in 2025 after the disappointment of last year.

Chicago was heading to the postseason before Reese suffered an injury that effectively derailed the campaign and ended any hopes of reaching the playoffs.

This upcoming WNBA season, expectations are Sky-high with a new coach and high draft selection, meaning a postseason run is the minimum aim.

It would be great if the Milwaukee Bucks can have two Giannis Antetokounmpo. They had none in the win over Minnesota Timberwolves but Brook Lopez thought Kyle Kuzma showed some shades of Greek Freak 2.0.

Lopez did not have his usual front court partner in the gutsy 103-101 win over Minnesota as the latter is recovering from a left calf strain.

There’s one play, however, that remind fans and reporters of the Greek Freak.

When the Greek Freak is in the floor, a transition offense is almost assured as long as they make a stop against the opponent.

Lopez will attempt the deflection and the Antetokounmpo will either ask rebound the ball or ask for it and try to make a run to the other basket. Instant two points.

That’s what Antetokounmpo can do and with him out since February 5, that does not happen a lot. They are missing his 31.8 points per game, his fastbreak points, playmaking, and rebounding.

It was different against the Wolves and Lopez thought Kuzma made the difference.

Brook Lopez agrees to Kyle Kuzma-Giannis Antetokounmpo comparison

Reporters singled out that one play by Lopez when he blocked Jaden McDaniels and Kuzma caught the rebound, run it to their ring and scored.

Just like how Giannis does it.

When asked about it post game, Lopez said their new recruit can only add more ways to score for the team.

“I think it’s gonna make all the difference for us. We’ve obviously trended very experienced a lot and Kuz has experience, but he’s also a very energetic player that can get up and down the court quick, and that’s definitely gonna add another dimension to us.”

Kuzma got to play that part only because Antetokounmpo was out. It would be interesting how Doc Rivers will adjust his position once the two-time MVP returns.

Do George & Norma Strait Have Any Children?

George shares two children with Norma. They welcomed their daughter, Jenifer Lynn Strait, in 1972, the year after they married. They welcomed their son, George “Bubba” Strait Jr. in 1981.

Sadly, Jenifer was killed in a car accident in 1986 at the age of 13. The loss of their beautiful daughter left George and Norma devastated.

Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Hilarious “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” Moment: A Behind-the-Scenes Look

In the world of sports, certain moments stand out because they capture the essence of a player’s personality or the camaraderie between teammates. However, sometimes, these moments are pure, unscripted chaos, like the hilarious scene that unfolded recently when Giannis Antetokounmpo, the reigning NBA MVP, interrupted Damian Lillard’s interview with his exuberant shout: “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG!” The moment not only cracked up those present but also set social media ablaze with memes and videos. Let’s dive into this unforgettable episode, what it says about Giannis’ character, and the playful dynamic he shares with his new teammate, Damian Lillard.

The Moment That Stole the Show

Damian Lillard, the All-Star guard traded to the Milwaukee Bucks in the off-season, was in the midst of an interview when the cameras and mics caught a rather loud and unexpected interjection from Giannis. Without warning, as Lillard was answering a question from a reporter, Giannis can be heard yelling, “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG!” His energetic outburst immediately stole the spotlight from the conversation at hand, causing laughter and confusion in equal measure.

The phrase “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” quickly became the subject of online speculation. What did it mean? Was it some insider basketball jargon? Fans were baffled, amused, and immediately curious about its origin. The funny thing is, Giannis’ antics have a long history of going viral, and this moment would add another memorable chapter to his offbeat, larger-than-life persona. It wasn’t just a random outburst—it was quintessential Giannis, embodying his fun-loving nature and his infectious energy.

The Giannis Effect: Humor and Leadership

Giannis Antetokounmpo is known for his remarkable skill and work ethic on the court, but off the court, he’s also a larger-than-life figure. His charisma and sense of humor have helped shape the culture around the Bucks, making him one of the most beloved figures in the NBA. Whether he’s joking around with his teammates, participating in quirky interviews, or simply making fans laugh, Giannis’ ability to blend humor with leadership is one of the reasons his popularity has transcended beyond just his basketball abilities.

This “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” moment serves as a perfect example of this balance. It wasn’t a trash talk or a boastful proclamation; it was pure joy, an inside joke made to entertain those around him. Giannis is the type of player who can break the tension of a serious moment, turning even an ordinary interview into an unforgettable scene. While some may view this as a distraction, it’s clear that Giannis knows how to bring positivity into the locker room and create an environment that promotes fun while still maintaining focus when necessary.

What Does “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” Even Mean?

The phrase “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” might seem like nonsensical gibberish at first, but as with much of Giannis’ offbeat humor, there’s probably a deeper meaning or context only understood by him and those close to him. Giannis, known for his eccentric use of language and sayings, often peppers his conversations with phrases that have a sense of fun, but aren’t always straightforward.

As for the phrase itself, it could be a playful mix of Giannis’ personal flair, possibly a modified version of a saying or something he picked up from a specific cultural reference or inside joke. The key thing is that it was delivered with such intensity and confidence that it didn’t matter whether anyone understood it—it was more about the feeling and the excitement Giannis brought to the moment.

The mystery surrounding the phrase only adds to its charm. Fans on social media began dissecting the moment, throwing out theories, and trying to connect the phrase to any known slang or cultural reference. One thing is certain: no matter what “HAWK TUAH ON THAT THANG” means, it will likely be associated with Giannis for years to come, and it will probably be quoted by fans in the same way people still reference iconic lines from past NBA moments.

The Dynamic Between Giannis and Damian Lillard

Another layer to the story is the relationship between Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. With Lillard joining the Bucks in a high-profile trade, much of the focus was on how this new pairing would shape the team’s fortunes. Lillard, one of the most respected point guards in the league, brings a different kind of leadership and shooting ability to the Bucks, complementing Giannis’ all-around game.
