BREAKING: Kansas city overwhelmed and delighted ‘ Travis Kelce bought a house worth $3.3m for homeless Kids after signing $46m contract extension with the chiefs

Kelce signed a four-year, $57.25m (£45m) extension with Kansas City in 2020, which followed a $46m (£37m) five-year contract that he signed in 2016. The new extension is expected to once again make him one of the league’s highest-paid tight ends.

The 34-year-old, who was chosen by the Chiefs in the third round of the 2013 draft, is the franchise’s all-time receiving leader with 11,328 yards.

Kelce has also become a crossover star, thanks in part to his relationship with pop icon Taylor Swift and his appearances on shows such as “Saturday Night Live.”

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated the news by writing: “I told y’all I’ll never let him leave!! Congrats my guy!” on X.

Mahomes threw a walk-off touchdown to Mecole Hardman in overtime as the Kansas City Chiefs shattered the hearts of the San Francisco 49ers with a 25-22 victory at Super Bowl LVIII in Sunday’s thrilling Las Vegas finale in October.

The podcast Kelce hosts with his brother and former Eagles center Jason Kelce – ‘New Heights’ – has become one of the most popular across several genres, and he will soon host a quiz show on Amazon

Taylor Swift acquired another luxurious cat following the loss of her previous one, expressing, “I’m a huge cat enthusiast; I adore having them around me. I couldn’t care less about the criticism from haters. Cats bring me joy, and that’s what matters.”

The Secret Diary of Taylor Swift’s Cat, aged 10¾.

Other partners have come and gone but I’ve been at the singer’s side for a decade, as her favourite furry friend – and this is our story.

The truth is I’ve never been able to stand her. That faux-sweetness. The permanent victim status. The confected gratitude as she tours the world and goes to bed in a pit of money. People think she’s humble, but she’s never met a mirror she didn’t like. A renowned monogamist? Yeah, and I’m a Bichon Frisé… She has men come and go all through the day, satisfying her every craven desire. She is a monster, a hack, a trashy little fame whore. And it’s about time we all woke up to it.

Who is ‘she’, you ask, the cat’s grandmother? No, my grandmother was a saint. I refer, of course, to Choupette, Karl Lagerfeld’s blue-eyed Birman, often touted as one of the ‘richest cats in the world’. (The most well-PR’d cat in the world, more to the point.)

In rankings of famous cats, I’m forever number two, despite my fortune being a reported $97 million (eclipsing her estimated $13 million). But at least my conscience is clear. Tell me, who was the last person to see Lagerfeld alive? And who ended up left with a meaty portion of his fortune in the will? I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I’m just asking questions, that’s all.

For those unaware, I have been the primary cat companion of the global superstar Taylor Alison Swift for 10 years this summer.

 

In June 2014, when I was just a kitten, Lady Swift posted a photograph on Instagram of me, gazing back at her from her lap. ‘Meet Olivia Benson,’ she wrote, and, not for the first time, I broke the internet.

OMG what kind of cat is that?! I want one!’ fans would scream. The official answer is that I am a Scottish Fold, a valuable and distinctive breed of domestic cat due to our ‘folded’ ears, caused by a dominant gene mutation associated with osteochondrodysplasia. The unofficial answer is that I’m one of a kind, so back off and good luck, sister.

The name Olivia Benson was given to me in honour of the lead character in Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, a show Lady Swift is a great fan of. Is it funny that everyone calls her Tay Tay, which sounds more like a cat than a grown woman, but my name sounds more like a grown woman than a cat? I don’t think that’s funny.

Whether I’ve since outgrown that character and become the more famous Olivia Benson is not for me to say, but I’ll just point out that anyone who denies it isn’t a serious person. I met the other ‘Olivia’ once. She’s smaller than she looks on TV.

(It would be remiss of me not to mention that Lady Swift also has two other cats, a second and lesser Scottish Fold called Meredith Grey and a Ragdoll named Benjamin Button. They are fine, I suppose. We are all named after fictional characters. Do not ask why; it is not my department.)

As is well known, Lady Swift does not allow access to her inner sanctum just willy-nilly, and she has signed off on every word printed here. When I asked if it would be possible to pen a few sentences for this newspaper to mark our 10th anniversary, she snapped shut her copy of The Spectator and said, ‘Are you kidding me? I love The Telegraph. I write to Richard Madeley about my dilemmas all the time.

PlusWord is my only real vice, other than sullen British men. I’ve been hoping they’ll ask me to do My Saturday for years, but I’m still waiting. In truth I’m worried mine is too similar to Gregg Wallace’s…’

She went on for a while. Long story short: it was a yes. And I am grateful, because nobody ever asks how I am. So now the world’s most famous pet with a living owner is finally unleashed, for one day only. (That’s a metaphor; I would never tolerate a leash.)

First, though, there were obviously a few things I was asked not to speak about, and I will respect Lady Swift’s privacy as much as she would like. I won’t, for instance, tell you that Joe Alwyn was my favourite of the boyfriends. Or that she voted for Trump in 2016, Biden in 2020 and will vote Trump again this year, because she believes it’s just easier to alternate.

Or that she has actually never been on Instagram, but gets an intern called Janine to write all her posts. Or that her longest celebrity relationship was in fact a nine-year unpublicised on/off romance with the British comedian Rory McGrath.

No, I will not tell you those things. But what I will tell you about is how blessed I’ve been to have lived with Lady Swift for all these happy years. Several memories stand out. Early on in our time together, for instance, she appeared on The Graham Norton Show and showed a photograph of me to the audience. John Cleese, sitting next to her, called me ‘the weirdest cat I’ve ever seen in my life’.

He got a big laugh, but when they go low, we go high. Or at least, Lady Swift does. She demurred. I, on the other hand, feel compelled to mention that out of Mr Cleese and myself, one of us is worth nearly $100 million and lives in pure luxury, the other is shilling for GB News to cover his alimony losses. Oh, you thought only dogs could be bitches?

It didn’t take long for Lady Swift to realise my commercial appeal and artistic talent. We appeared in a Diet Coke advert together once. The conceit was that with every sip Lady Swift took, more and more kittens appeared. I didn’t do a huge amount of work, but that’s because I was upset that we were not being paid the same. I was naive, and learned a valuable lesson that day. As I now tell any new kittens just starting out, you have to know your worth.

Lady Swift and I are now paid identical sums, only hers is always cash, while mine includes occasional balls of wool and tinned tuna. When I won ‘Favourite Pet’ at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards last year, I negotiated better terms again. If you don’t ask, you don’t get.

We’ve been seen in public on occasion. Once, Lady Swift was photographed carrying me in the street. She later explained online that I don’t like cat carriers, so I must be transported this way. This is partially true. You may know that biblical poem, ‘Footprints in the Sand’, in which the speaker is reflecting on their life’s journey walking side-by-side on a beach with God, only to notice that when they needed Him most, there was just one set of footprints. The narrator is like, ‘Hey God, what’s up with that?’ And God is like, ‘When you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.’

Well that’s essentially what happens with Lady Swift. When I need her most, she carries me. And if she tries to put me in a cat carrier, I claw her eyes out. It’s simple.

The music videos I’ve appeared in have been a real highlight, especially for my fans. I did Blank Space, Me! and Karma, as well as appearing in the documentary Miss Americana. Whenever Lady Swift needs a little boost, whenever her popularity is waning and Beyoncé has the upper hand, she tends to reach for a touch of the Livvy-B magic, as I call it but nobody else does, and only a little sprinkle does the job. I do not play live with her on tour; they cannot afford my rider or grooming budget.

But there have been low points, too. People are not always kind. They dismiss my entire existence as being pointless, saying I’m rich and famous for no reason other than who I’m related to, and that I should get a life. To which I say: you’re one to talk, you’re halfway through a ghost-written article imagining the life of a celebrity cat.

It’s true I have not liked all the boyfriends, or even bothered to learn all their names – though I do like that I am worth twice as much as Lady Swift’s latest plaything, Travis Kelce.

I also didn’t enjoy it when Ed Sheeran bought his own Scottish Fold, an absolute letch called Calippo, and a surge in popularity led to the British Veterinary Association calling for a ban on breeding Scottish Folds. I asked Lady Swift to pay for the BVA’s headquarters to be firebombed in response. She claimed not to understand me. I told her I am Scottish, not Martian.

Then there was the movie Cats. Oh lord, Cats. She told me about it and I thought it was a joke. I said, ‘With the greatest respect, my lady, are you outside of your mind? They’re having to CGI Jason Derulo’s penis out of a scene involving Dame Judi Dench and James Corden. How can you think this is a good thing?’

But again she didn’t listen. I actually knew the cat Mr Mistoffelees was based on. It wasn’t ‘magical powers’ that made him dance constantly, I can tell you…

Generally, though, I look back on the past decade with Lady Swift and think, ‘Only 10 years? It feels more like half a century.’ Then people remind me that 10 human years equate to 56 cat years and I relax a little, especially because that means Choupette is nearly 70 and thus approaching death.

Lady Swift has had many Eras since we first met. She has reinvented herself and grown as a person, as a star, but through it all she has remained a Cat Lady. And for that I’m grateful. Now, I will close on a poem about cats, written by Emily Dickinson, who it turns out is a distant yet predictable relation of Lady Swift herself.

She sights a Bird – she chuckles – /She flattens – then she crawls – /She runs without the look of feet – /Her eyes increase to Balls…’

During their visit to Colombia, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle learn new skills, prompting fans to question, ‘What was the purpose of this trip?’ as their itinerary is revealed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex learned a new skill on the third day of their royal tour of Colombia, the drums!

For their third day, Harry and Meghan left the country’s capital of Bogota to head to the northern city of Cartagena.

The Duke and Duchess were greeted by the booming sounds of drums and the school’s founder, Rafael Ramos, upon their arrival at Escuela Taller Tambores de Cabildo de la Boquilla.

This local drum school preserves the art form of traditional African drumming.

They also heard from locals about the importance of preserving the culture of Cartagena, and specifically it’s Afro-Colombian roots; “I love seeing Meghan’s big, big smile — I can tell she’s excited!”” said Mr Ramos.

For their second engagement of the day, the pair visited San Basilio de Palenque located in the Municipality of Mahates, Bolivar in northern Colombia. After a series of speeches, Meghan and Harry explored the local street market and enjoyed a lively concert featuring local musicians.

A warm welcome

The Duke and Duchess were greeted by the booming sounds of drums and the school’s founder Rafael Ramos upon their arrival at Escuela Taller Tambores de Cabildo de la Boquilla, a local drum school that preserves the artform of traditional African drumming.

As they arrived, surrounded by heavily armed soldiers, police officers and sharp-suited private security guards, the children performed a traditional dance.

The visit was to show the cultural traditions of the city and country through music education and community engagement, and they received a lesson on drums.

Meghan’s drumming joy

The Duke and Duchess were led by students in the drumming portion of their visit. School founder Rafael Ramos loved seeing Meghan’s reaction while playing the drums and watching the performances.

“I love seeing Meghan’s big, big smile — I can tell she’s excited!” he enthused.

The Duke and Duchess were also gifted a small handcrafted wooden boat from a student, an ode to the beautiful coastal town and its beaches.

Meghan’s fashion

Meghan wore a traditional print top and skirt from Colombian designer Johanna Ortiz, a favorite of the Duchess’, while Harry donned a blue linen shirt, sunglasses and beige chinos.

He also had an interpreter helping him to communicate.

A tour of San Basilio de Palenque

For the second engagement of the day, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were joined by the Vice President for a special tour of San Basilio de Palenque – a north Colombian village that was established as the first free African town in the Americas in 1619.

Following a performance of the Colombian national anthem, Meghan and Harry listened to speeches and performances from Palenque’s community leaders.

Elsewhere, Vice President Francia Màrquez addressed the couple and said: “I wanted them to come here and discover the essence of who we are — our spirituality, our music, our culture and our ancestral heritage that is still very much alive today.

“In the midst of adversity this is what has helped us continue to be resilient. Palenque is in the heart of every Afro-Colombian.”

In a heartfelt speech, Meghan said she was “so honoured” to be invited to visit the village, and paid tribute to the community’s “incredible history.”

During their visit, the Duke and Duchess also toured the local street market and attended a lively concert featuring local musicians.

The Duke and Duchess have been in Colombia since Thursday. On their first day, the couple met with government representatives, including Vice President Francia Márquez and her partner, Rafael Yerney Pinillo.

The day also featured a visit to a school where they heard from students about the impact of social media on their lives, and a visit to a cultural centre, where Harry showed off some of his dad dancing.

The second day also featured a visit to a school, where Meghan spoke about her son, Prince Archie, with some of the students. The day concluded with a luncheon and a visit to the Colombian Invictus Games team.

Has Baby Bieber made an appearance?! Fans certainly think so, due to Hailey Bieber’s cryptic new post. The Rhode Skin founder, who is expecting her first baby with husband Justin Bieber, posted a teasing message online that is making people think an official baby announcement will be posted soon!

Anna Kendrick Shares Bras With The ‘Pitch Perfect’ Cast + Does An Amazing Kristen Stewart Impression

The 27-year-old shared pictures promoting her beauty brand, which she often does. However, one post in particular seemed to be referring to something else. Hailey wrote, “We have a surprise” and added an eyeball and pink bow emoji, per Hello! Magazine. She could have been referring to the fact that the Rhode Booth is making a stop in Toronto, Canada, today — or it could be a hint that she and the “Baby” singer have already welcomed their firstborn!

Fans have been commenting on Hailey’s latest Instagram photos, speculating on her baby news. They’ve been saying stuff like this, “I just KNOW u had the baby🩷🩷✨” and this, “I think she had the baby 🥰🥰🥰🤍🤍🤍🤍” Someone else commented, “We are all patiently waiting to announce your baby’s birth!! I can’t wait to hear about the little human … that’s if you choose to share this with us. Wishing you both health and love.”

After announcing her pregnancy in May, Hailey confirmed with W Magazine that she was six months along. “I was honestly able to keep it quiet because I stayed small for a long time. I didn’t have a belly, really, until I was six months pregnant, which is when I announced it. I was able to wear big jackets and stuff,” she said.

“I probably could have hid it until the end,” Hailey continued. “But I didn’t enjoy the stress of not being able to enjoy my pregnancy outwardly. I felt like I was hiding this big secret, and it didn’t feel good. I wanted the freedom to go out and live my life.”

Makes sense! And if you were doing the math in your head like we were, Hailey’s due date would be sometime in August. So if this was a baby clue, then fingers crossed she will officially announce soon!

Taylor Swift and her mom meet Southport stabbing victims backstage at Eras Tour

 

Some of the families who were at a Taylor Swift themed dance class in Southport, U.K., when a man stabbed three children and injured 10 others were invited backstage at the Eras Tour to meet the singer.

 

 

One of the moms, Sami Foster, shared a montage of photos to Swift’s 1989 World Tour version of “Enchanted.” The mom captioned her TikTok, “You drew stars around my scars 💫🥹 …. The biggest thank you to @Taylor Swift and her mum for making the most magical night possible for us all 🫶🏻 thank you for bringing Hope & Autumn pure happiness last night & always 💗💗💗”

Three children — ages 6, 7 and 9 — died on July 29. Two adults and eight children were also stabbed and released by the hospital days after, according to Merseyside police.

Officers arrested a 17-year-old boy, charging him with the murder of Bebe King, Elsie Dot Stancombe and Alice Dasilva Aguiar along with 10 counts of attempted murder and possession of a bladed article.

“The horror of yesterday’s attack is washing over me continuously and I’m just completely in shock,” Swift wrote the following morning in a statement posted to her Instagram story.

“These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families,” she continued.

Twenty-two thousand Swifties came together to raise more than 385,000 Euros ($426,000) for the victims of the stabbings.

Swift has one more night at Wembley Stadium in London before wrapping her European leg of the Eras Tour and taking a two-month break. Her show will resume in Miami on Oct. 18.

Taylor Swift responded to a study which crowned her the ‘biggest celebrity CO2 polluter of the year,’ by claiming her prolific private jet use was caused by other people.

‘Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,’ a Swift spokesperson told Rolling Stone, ‘To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.’

The study released on Friday by British digital marketing firm Yard is based on an analysis of private plane flights tracked by the automated flight tracker Celebrity Jets, and found that Swift’s jet logged the most emissions of the pack, and found her private jet has taken a whopping 170 flights since January.

 

The report came as a redemption for Kylie Jenner, who was branded a ‘climate criminal’ earlier this month for posting a picture of her and Travis Scott’s matching his-and-hers private jets earlier this month.

So far Swift – whose jet is currently on the ground in Nashville according to the flight tracking website ADS B Exchange – is the only celebrity on the list to comment on the study.

But despite the backlash over that incident, and another in which she took a 12-minute flight instead of making a 26-mile drive, Jenner did not even make Yard’s top-10 list of celebrity polluters, ranking at a lowly 19.

Swift, through a representative, batted back furiously at the report after facing online backlash from fans, saying that she often let other people take her Falcon 7X jet on jaunts around the world.

‘Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,’ Swift’s rep told Rolling Stone. ‘To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.’

In the new pollution rankings, Swift’s jet narrowly beat out Floyd Mayweather’s for the top spot. Other notables in the top 10 include Jay Z, country singer Blake Shelton, director Steven Spielberg, Kim Kardashian, Mark Wahlberg, and Oprah Winfrey.

 

The travels of Taylor Swift’s jet are seen over the past week, logging nearly 8,000 miles as it criss-crossed the US

 

‘Taylor’s jet is loaned out regularly to other individuals,’ a Swift spokesperson told Rolling Stone , ‘To attribute most or all of these trips to her is blatantly incorrect.’

 

Taylor Swift is spotted boarding her private jet in Rhode Island in 2019. Swift has been named the ‘biggest celebrity CO2 polluter of the year’ by a new study that found her private jet has taken a whopping 170 flights since January

Although Swift has remained silent on political and social issues for much of her career, she has spoken out more in recent years, and named climate change as one of the issues that concerned her in a 2020 interview with Variety.

Swift has not been on tour this year, and has performed only twice in 2022, in one-off appearances in London and New York City.

Yet the study found that since the beginning of the year, Swift’s jet has logged 22,923 minutes in the air over 170 trips – equal to 15.9 full days of flight time, according to Yard.

Her jet’s total flight emissions for the year came in at 8,293.54 tonnes, or 1,184.8 times more than the average person’s total annual emissions, Yard found.

The study found that Swift’s jet had an average flight time of 80 minutes and an average flight distance of 139.36 miles.

‘It’s easy to get lost in the dazzling lives of the rich and famous, but unfortunately, they’re a massive part of the CO2e problem we have with the aviation industry,’ said Yard’s Digital Sustainability Director, Chris Butterworth, in a statement.

‘Aviation is responsible for 2.4 percent of human-produced CO2e every year, and research shows a vast divide between the super-rich and the rest of us regarding flights, travel, and even general emissions,’ he added.

 

Swift has not been on tour this year, and has performed only twice in 2022, in one-off appearances in London and New York City (above) and yet her jet has flown 170 times this year

Following the report, even some of Swift’s loyal fans expressed disappointment at learning of her jet’s frequent travels.

‘D**n, she’s been flying around A LOT,’ one Swiftie wrote on the r/TaylorSwift Reddit fanpage. ‘What is she even doing that requires that much traveling?’

‘Going to get cancelled for this, but f**k Taylor Swift too, selfish as the rest of them,’ another person wrote on Twitter.

Second on Yard’s list was boxing legend Floyd Mayweather, whose jet emitted 7,076.8 tonnes of CO2 so far this year.

However, Mayweather’s jet has amassed more flights than any other celebrity on the list, taking 177 so far this year. That amounts to 25 flights per month, or nearly one a day.

In third place was rapper Jay-Z, whose jet emitted 6,981.3 tonnes of CO2 over 136 flights. Retired baseball player Alex Rodriguez ranked fourth with 5,342.7 tonnes of emissions.

Blake Shelton, the country music singer and husband of Gwen Stefani, was number five with his jet logging 4,495 tonnes of emissions over 111 flights.

 

Film director Steven Spielberg was sixth with 4,465 tonnes of emissions, followed closely by Kim Kardashian with 4268.5 tonnes, while Oprah Winfrey ranked ninth with an estimated 3,493.17 tonnes

Film director Steven Spielberg was sixth with 4,465 tonnes of emissions, followed closely by Kim Kardashian with 4268.5 tonnes.

In eighth place was actor Mark Wahlberg whose jet has emitted 3772.85 tonnes of CO2, and Oprah Winfrey ranked ninth with an estimated 3,493.17 tonnes.

Rounding out the top 10 was Travis Scott, with 3033.3 tonnes of emissions. However, Scott’s jet had the lowest average flight distance of the list, at just 7.31 miles per trip.

The study came in response to an Instagram post that Scott’s longtime on-again, off-again partner Kylie Jenner posted to Instagram on July 15.

The internet reacted with fury after Jenner posted a photo showing what appeared to be her and Scott’s matching private jets, commenting: ‘you wanna take mine or yours?’

 

The study came in response to this Instagram post that Kylie Jenner posted to Instagram on July 15 showing her and Travis Scott’s his-and-hers private jets

Reports also emerged that she had taken a 12-minute flight on her private jet for journey that would have taken just 40 minutes by car, leading some critics to dub her a ‘climate criminal’.

Her jet travelled for 35 minutes from Palm Springs, just outside of LA, to Van Nuys, in Los Angeles, close to her $36million Hidden Hills mansion on July 15.

Two hours later the mum-of-two then flew from Van Nuys, to Camarillo in in Ventura County, California – a trip which took just 12 minutes according to CelebrityJets on Twitter.

The account also revealed that the Bombardier Global 7500 plane travelled from Camarillo, California, to Van Nuys two days before on July 13 – a trip of just 17 minutes.

Her jet then took a 29-minute flight later the same day, travelling from Van Nuys to Palm Springs, California.

The eco-hypocrite jet set: Stars such as Mark Wahlberg, Jay Z and Steven Spielberg lecture us about saving the planet… then use their private jets for flights that take just MINUTES instead of driving

By Emma James For Dailymail.Com

They love to lecture about saving the planet with social media posts about going vegan, cutting CO2 emissions or ditching gas-guzzling vehicles.

But these celebrities then go and use their multi-million-dollar private jets to make journeys that take just minutes – and would often be quicker by car.

One website has exposed the eco-hypocrites for their not-so green credentials, with stars including   Mark Wahlberg, Jay Z and Steven Spielberg among those outed.

Twitter handle @celebjets chronicled their journeys over the last few months, with many trips lasting less than 30 minutes from lift off to landing.

Wahlberg’s plane took flight for just nine minutes as it jetted across LA, while Spielberg’s clocked in at a staggering 17 minutes.

It comes after the social media page outed Kylie Jenner for a 12-minute flight across California, which saw her branded a ‘climate criminal’ by furious eco-warriors.

Meanwhile her sister Kourtney faced a huge backlash by fans for posting about carbon emissions in February, despite the family’s excessive private air travel.

Aviation experts have said that the focus of private jets should be on ‘responsible travel’, by using ‘carbon offset schemes.

Short haul flights of at least ten minutes can cause 1 ton of Co2 emissions to be created during the journey as well as gallons of fuel being burned off.

Here, DailyMail.com looks at some of the celebrities who have been exposed for their staggeringly short private jet flights:

Steven Spielberg – Jetted 17 minutes after saying ‘I’m terrified of global warming’

Steven Spielberg’s private jet is pictured at Luton Airport in England. He regularly uses it to travel short distances, despite sharing his fears over global warming

Steven Spielberg has previously said he is ‘terrified’ of global warming, calling for ‘everyone’ to be mindful that it could ‘pose a danger to your children and grandchildren.

But the director and film producer didn’t let that stop him from taking his $70million Gulfstream G650 jet, on a 17-minute flight on June 29.

His 28-mile trip from Amsterdam Airport to Rotterdam Airport would have taken him just 36 minutes by car, or an hour by public transport.

According to CelebrityJets, the flight used 145 gallons of jet fuel, cost him $1,011 for the fuel and resulted in 2 tons of Co2 emissions.

Speaking about his new movie Ready Player One in 2018, Spielberg said: ‘I’m terrified of global warming. Global warming is a scientific reality it’s not a political trick, it’s a true piece of real measurable quantifiable since.

‘And people have to come around to believing that were are going to have a confrontation with destiny unless we do something about it today.

‘I think we have to blame everybody that is just, when you are not mindful of something that could pose a danger to your children and grandchildren.

‘Then you just go blithely through life with aerosol cans and doing all sorts of things that are depleting the ozone.’

Jay Z and Beyoncé – 47-minute trip goes against their ‘Greenprint Project’

Jay Z had a privte jet gifted to him by Puma, who even personalized the luxury Gulfstream IV with a tail number just for him

Power couple Beyoncé and Jay-Z have been encouraging the masses to switch to a plant-based diet with their Greenprint Project.

They want to share the ‘positive impact we can have on the world by eating plant-based meals’ according to the website.

The international stars own a $40million Bombardier Challenger 850, which can hold up to 19 passengers and has a kitchen, bedroom, two bathrooms, and a living room

But rapper Jay-Z also has access to a luxury Gulfstream IV, created and personalised for him by Puma – even created a tail number for him.

The Puma jet flew from Seattle International Airport to Eugene Airport in just 47minutes on July 17.

A commercial flight would set you back $178, and take an hour and five minutes to get to the destination.

Driving by car would take just under five hours, with the commercial flight taking one mile less and results in 0.07 tons of Co2 emissions being used.

The flight used up 353 gallons of jet fuel, costing $2,411 and ultimately creating 4 tons of Co2 emissions.

Speaking about the Greenprint Project, Beyonce said: ‘The information is hard to ignore, the benefits of a single plant-based meal a day can have such a profound impact on our health and the environment, spanning from cutting carbon emissions to conserving water.

‘We want to challenge you as we challenge ourselves to move towards a more plant-based lifestyle and acknowledge you for standing up for your health and the health of the planet.’

Drake – 18 minutes across Canada after launching partnership to ‘reduce carbon footprint’

Drake had a Boeing 727 personalized for himself, with ‘Air Drake’ emblazoned on the engine of the multimillion dollar jet

Rapper Drake flew on his private plane for just 18 minutes from John Munro Hamilton International airport to Toronto Pearson International airport in Canada.

The 35-year-old could have driven between the two in 45 minutes, or 47 miles, but instead used 519 gallons of fuel on July 12.

According to CelebrityJets his Boeing 767, it would have cost him $3,590 for the short haul trip – adding up to 5 tons of Co2.

His plane, dubbed ‘Air Drake’ has gold detailing on the walls, a theatre room, three private suites, velvet couches and can hold a maximum of 30 passengers.

The star announced that he was partnering with Aspiration last year, after the start up also partnered with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert Downey Jr.

Speaking about the project he said: ‘It’s exciting to partner with a company that’s found an easy way to offer everyone the ability to reduce their carbon footprint.

‘Aspiration’s innovative approach to combating climate change is really inspiring and I hope together we can help to motivate and create awareness.’

Mark Wahlberg – Nine-minute flight across California

Wahlberg, who starred in M Night Shyamalan’s climate change thrilled The Happening, jetted from LAX airport in LA, to Van Nuys Airport

Hollywood superstar Mark Wahlberg completely switched up his died in 2020 to a completely plant-based diet after years of eating huge amounts of animal products.

The Father Stu actor, 50, said that he felt ‘really good’ for the change, and advocated the removal of meat from his diet for the improvement.

Wahlberg, who starred in M Night Shyamalan’s climate change thrilled The Happening, jetted from LAX airport in LA, to Van Nuys Airport at around 10pm on July 1.

He flew just nine minutes in his Bombardier BD-700 plane on the 19-mile trip, which would have taken around 40 minutes in a car with no traffic.

Alternatively, he could have taken a bus, which could have taken just over an hour, to get to his destination.

His flight used up 83 gallons of jet fuel, which cost $579 and created one ton of Co2 emissions.

Speaking to Boston.com in 2016 he said that he was ‘very aware of the real world’, after claiming that celebrities were ‘in a bubble’.

Kim Kardashian – 10-minute trip on her $150million private jet

Kim was also slammed by fans for incessantly bragging about her own $150million private jet with cashmere from floor to ceiling and two luxury bathroom

More than a week before her sister Kylie Jenner faced a huge backlash for taking a 12 minute flight across California, Kim Kardashian flew the same route but two minutes quicker.

Kim, star of the Hulu show The Kardashians, flew from Van Nuys airport in Los Angeles to Camarillo Airport in ten minutes on July 7.

The 41-year-old jetted off on her $150million Gulfstream G650, fully personalised with cream carpets, on the 35-mile trip.

Experts revealed her trip would have cost $7200 for an hour if the private jet had been hired rather than owned by the star.

The trip would have taken her just 50 minutes to complete from one airport to the other with no traffic.

Using her private jet meant that 91 gallons of fuel were used, costing her $636 in fuel and creating 1 ton of Co2 emissions.

Previously the star has said that she wants to be more eco-friendly and has been making her various businesses environmentally friendly.

Her SKKN range stats on the website: ‘To further reduce our environmental impact, Refills are packaged inside recycled materials and delivered to you inside compostable kraft bags.’

 Kylie Jenner – 12-minute trip on ‘Air Kylie’ despite eco-conscious products

 

Kylie Jenner has been called a ‘climate criminal’ for reportedly taking a 12-minute flight on a private jet after coming under fire for boasting about her and Travis Scott’s planes

Kylie Jenner has been slammed for taking a 12-minute flight on her private jet – for a 26-mile journey that would have taken just 39 minutes by car.

The 24-year-old billionaire was blasted as a ‘climate criminal’ for her short haul journey across California last week despite her lectures on protecting the environment.

She took her $70million ‘Kylie Air’ private plane twice across the county on July 13, and again just two days later on July 15.

The Bombardier Global 7500 jet travelled for 35 minutes from Palm Springs, just outside LA, to Van Nuys, near her $36million Hidden Hills mansion on July 15.

Two hours later the mum-of-two then flew from Van Nuys, to Camarillo in in Ventura County, California – a trip which took just 12 minutes .

Earlier, on July 13, Kylie had also flown from Camarillo to Van Nuys a trip of just 17 minutes. She had then taken a 29-minute flight, going from from Van Nuys to Palm Springs.

Experts revealed her trip would have cost around $1600 to just fuel the plane, but if the private jet had been hired it would have set her back about $7200.

Had the star driven the 26-mile trip from her home in Hidden Hills, to Camarillo it would have taken her just 39 minutes without the horrendous traffic that is usual in those areas.

But instead she drove 30 minutes in the wrong direction to Van Nuys airport, before jumping on the plane – with the journey taking longer despite the 12-minute flight.

She has consistently plugged the eco-friendly products she buys for her daughter Stormi, four, as well as telling her 359million social media she was going ‘vegan and clean’ with her products because it was ‘time to elevate.’

The jet-setting hypocrisy of the super-rich climate preachers!

Katy Perry: Flew Kim’s false nails 2,451 miles

When Orlando Bloom accepted an award for environmental campaigning in 2018, he urged: ‘The urgency of climate change has never rung louder… The world is changing and we need to change our habits along with it.’

However, it later emerged the Hollywood actor, 45, had flown to the event in Monaco with his fiancée, pop singer Katy Perry, on a private jet.

In 2015, Perry, 37, told fans: ‘Share your story on how you are helping to reduce climate change with the hashtag #FightUnfair.’

Three years later she reportedly flew false nails for Kim Kardashian by private jet 2,451 miles from LA to New York after the reality star forgot to pack them.

Perry was seen leaving a private jet in France in July 2021.

Brooklyn: I cut back on water for tea

The whole Beckham family has advocated action on climate change.

David and Victoria’s eldest son Brooklyn told GQ Magazine in April last year: ‘I do the basics, like not letting the water run when I brush my teeth, measure out my water for tea and I do not let the water run when I shower. Easy things like that make a difference.’

Yet the 23-year-old and his wife, heiress Nicola Peltz, 27, travelled by private jet on their first Christmas together in 2019.

He also flew with his family by private jet to Miami in December 2020.

Victoria and David flew by private plane to Brooklyn and Nicola’s Palm Beach wedding in Florida in April.

Harry: Fans urged to sign up to concert ‘eco villages’

Harry Styles may have launched a climate change campaign with his former One Direction bandmates – but that hasn’t stopped him zipping around the globe on private jets to venues where he is performing.

In July 2015, One Direction worked with Save The Children to urge young fans to play their part in protecting the Earth and ‘put pressure on our leaders’.

The Watermelon Sugar singer also set up ‘eco village’ stands at gigs on his Love On Tour, which encouraged fans to ‘take action for the climate’.

Yet last October, Styles, 28, was seen landing in Orlando, Florida, on a private jet.

He was also in attendance at the ‘Camp Google’ climate summit in 2019, where VIPs including Prince Harry arrived on 114 different private jets.

A source close to Styles said he uses commercial flights as well.

Sussexes: Barefoot speeches for Google 

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken out to urge more action to protect the planet.

In June 2019, the couple told their nearly 10 million Instagram followers: ‘With nearly 7.7 billion people inhabiting this Earth, every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference.’

A month later, Prince Harry, 37, travelled to the island of Sicily via private jet to make a barefoot speech at a Google summit on climate change.

In May last year, he said: ‘We need to do better about stopping or allowing the things that are causing so much harm.’

Yet in June, the couple hopped on a Bombardier Global 6000 – one of the most polluting types of private jet – back to California after a three-day stay in the UK for the Platinum Jubilee. In the past year, they’ve taken at least six private jet flights.

Djokovic: Educate children to recycle

Novak Djokovic has spoken candidly about how much he cares for the natural world.

Last August, the Serbian tennis legend, right, said: ‘Environmental issues are essential. Not just for me, I think it should be essential for anybody else. This is the only planet we’ve got and so we might as well try to take care of it.’

A blog on his Novak Djokovic Foundation’s website in 2019 urged parents to be ‘eco role models’ for their children by getting them to recycle and not waste water.

Yet Djokovic, 35, flies around the world on a private jet supplied by rival Roger Federer’s firm NetJets, which hires its fleet to VIPs.

The company has sponsored Djokovic since 2015 and he ‘owns’ part of a plane under a fractional ownership arrangement.

Caitlin Clark couldn’t avoid the opportunity to ruthlessly mock her opponents in the final moments of Indiana’s blowout victory over Seattle on Sunday.

The final moments of the game got heated when Storm head coach Noelle Quinn and several players went over to confront Fever head coach Christie Sides. Quinn seemed to be upset with Sides’ decision to keep her starters in for the waning seconds with Indiana already up by 17:

The argument between the two coaches led to a pause with less than a second remaining on the game clock. X/Twitter user @logo3sports was at the game and said that Clark exchanged some words of her own with the Seattle bench and had to be restrained by teammates.

 

Some people have their boundaries in life, and Whoopi Goldberg is one of them. When Hot Ones host Sean Evans visited The View today, a spread of chicken wings and an array of some of the hottest hot sauces featured on his show were laid out for The View panelists to eat while he chatted with them about his infamous talk show, but Goldberg refused to sample even one of them.

Sunny Hostin was eager to try even the hottest sauces (there were two versions of The Last Dab available, which is the hottest sauce that Hot Ones guests are asked to eat, but sadly Evans did not bring the notoriously hot and terrible Da Bomb sauce), sarcastically asking at one point while trying one of the sauces, “Is this supposed to be hot?”

(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 June 26, 2024 when this episode first aired. The View will return with new episodes in September.)

“She’s trying to get on your show,” Goldberg told Evans, while Sara Haines told her co-host, “Sunny, don’t get cocky.”

Haines and Alyssa Farah Griffin seemed equally excited to try some of the hot wings, while Joy Behar hilariously ate hers with a fork, a detail no one seemed to notice.

But Goldberg refrained and simply observed as her co-hosts went to town. Evans, when asked who he would like to have on Hot Ones, then revealed that his dream guests would include Keanu Reeves and David Letterman, adding that Goldberg would also be a welcome guest.

“Whoopi, I loved your Sneaker Shopping episode, that’s one of my favorite Sneaker Shopping episodes,” he told her, referring to the Complex web series she participated in back in 2018.

Goldberg responded, “Here’s the thing, I don’t like hot food, so you and I would have to have a whole different kind of conversation.”

“Thank you for coming on,” she then told Evans. “It’s kind of fun to watch everybody start sweating. But again, I’m not following anyone into the bathroom.”

As she closed out the segment, everyone else at the table was busy wiping their brows and fanning themselves and probably praying for sweet relief. But not Goldberg, because she knows her boundaries.

The Diana connection: Kate Middleton’s marriage with ‘headstrong’ Prince William works because…

Need Quick Access to Cash with Zero Paperwork?

Prince William and Kate Middleton’s marriage works well because the Princess of Wales has a calming influence, similar to the late Queen. She has helped improve the relationship between William and his father, King Charles. Robert Jobson’s book Catherine, The Princess of Wales mentions this revelation.

The book, which will be published on August 1, states that “Diana was headstrong and emotional, and William has turned out to have similar traits.” The Daily Mail released an excerpt of the book.

A senior source mentions in the book that William and his father have become much closer in recent years. William respects the King’s dedication to service but believes Charles’ work-first attitude negatively affected their relationship during his childhood.

“In recent years, they have become much closer. He also respects his father and his devotion to service, but he feels the fact his father put work first had a detrimental impact on him when he was growing up and didn’t help their father/son relationship,” the source said.

When Prince William proposed to Catherine Middleton in 2010 in Kenya, he gave her Lady Diana’s sapphire and diamond engagement ring. Those fit perfectly without adjustments. Later, she told someone during a walkabout that the ring was the same size and very special, an honour to wear.

Kate knew marrying Prince Charles’ elder son meant she’d eventually follow in her late mother-in-law’s footsteps. She knew she would be compared to Diana, whose tragic death had caused widespread anger and grief.

Her prediction was accurate. People endlessly analyzed their similarities and differences, including discussions within the Royal Family, according to the book.

“The truth is that she is very different from Diana: better educated, far more stable and less concerned about making a splash as a glamorous icon,” Jobson writes in his book.

“Perhaps the most fundamental difference between the two Princesses of Wales is that Diana, who grew up in a broken home, lacked a foundation of security. By contrast, Catherine’s own childhood was blissful.”
