Ice Spice reveals Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are hilarious as superstar she makes surprise return to the stage
The rapper, 25, was asked if there was anything 'surprising' about the couple while she was at the Kids Choice Awards, and replied: 'They're really, really funny. They're probably some of my funniest friends. They're funny, you guys. That's the scoop. They're like us.'
It came as Taylor made a sensational return to the stage for the first time since the end of the Eras Tour at a concert hosted by Travis Kelce in Nashville on Tuesday night.
The singer sent the crowd wild with a rendition of Shake It Off as she joined Kane Brown at Tight Ends And Friends - a show Kelce hosted as part of the NFL event he is running in Music City this week.
Kelce and S wift had earlier been pictured arriving at the Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, where it seemed like Swift was purely just supporting Kelce for a cause close to his heart.

Singers such as Sophia Scott, Graham Barham and Chase Rice were all listed to perform at the venue, where Swift was first spotted enjoying the night in the VIP section. Jordan Davis also played and welcomed country star Luke Combs onto the stage but Swift's involvement had been kept a secret.
Swift told the crowd 'we planned that three minutes ago' shortly before she left the stage to huge cheers. Just when it seemed like Brown was finishing his set, Swift ignited a frenzy when she walked out for one more song and played an acoustic guitar belonging to Rice.
She dedicated it 'to our favorite players' before launching into a rendition of one of her biggest hits and sending the crowd wild.
Tickets had been on sale to the public and some devoted Swifties had made sure they were in the crowd for a possible sighting of the singer with Kelce. It was a gamble that seriously paid off.
Swift was dressed all in black for her night out while Kelce wore a camouflaged shirt and pants. He was stood to the side of the stage when Swift walked out to the delight of the fans in attendance.
And it was an intimate venue for Swift to perform in after selling out the biggest stadiums around the globe on her historic Eras Tour.
Nashville's Brooklyn Bowl hosts up to 1,200 people, while her biggest Eras show was at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Australia, where 96,000 people attended.

Earlier in the week, Swift stunned fans on Monday night as she doted on Kelce during the welcome night for the three-day NFL event that the Kansas City Chiefs star has hosted since 2021.
Kelce and San Francisco 49ers star George Kittle run the event alongside Greg Olsen, another former tight end who is now a distinguished NFL analyst.
As well as building a community among the players who play in the position that Kelce is famous for and sharing tips on performance, they also raise money for charity through the annual get-together.

Jessica Simpson slips back into Daisy Dukes following 100-lb weight loss
left her fans absolutely speechless while recreating one of her most famous looks of all time. While promoting pieces from her clothing brand, Jessica Simpson Collection, the actress, 44, couldn't shake comparisons to her character, Daisy Duke, from her 2005 film, The Dukes of Hazzard, while posing in a leopard tank top and cutoff jean shorts. Almost immediately after her brand posted the image, last week, social media users flocked to the comments section to marvel over how she looks exactly the same. 'Daisy Duke, is that you?' one wrote underneath the photo. Another excited fan gushed that the mother-of-three looked like a 'supermodel.' A third even declared that she looked 'hotter than' she did in her 2006 movie, Employee of the Month. Throughout her more than two decades in the spotlight, Simpson has been open about feeling stuck on an endless roller coaster of yo-yo dieting and over-exercising to maintain her fluctuating figure. While reflecting on her weight loss journey, which included losing 100 pounds after reaching 260 pounds during her pregnancy with daughter Birdie Mae, the performer talked about finding peace with her body after saying her role in Dukes of Hazzard created an unrealistic 'gold standard' for her body. After parading her envy-inducing legs in a pair of super short shorts while portraying Daisy Duke, the mom-of-three said images from that movie have been used to as the 'before' picture for every 'is she fat or is she thin' story for' the rest of her career. Simpson, who was just 24-years-old when she made her Hollywood debut in the widely-popular 2005 comedy, was reportedly inspired to tone up before shooting once she realized her 'butt was going to be plastered on 50 ft. screens everywhere.' The entrepreneur, who signed with Columbia Records in 1997 as a teen, admitted that once she learned that she landed the role she 'went straight to the gym.' 'Any character that has a pair of shorts named after her, you've gotta at least try to make the shorts look as good as you possibly can,' she told People in 2005. She continued: 'I didn't have a butt, so I did a lot of squats... I can't deprive myself of things because then I obsess about it and end up eating. I watched my diet and was in the gym to walk proud. My body is definitely an accomplishment,' she revealed. To lean down, she adhered to the South Beach Diet, created in 2003 by cardiologist Arthur Agatston, which is a low carb, high-protein meal plan. At this time, she mostly consumed grilled chicken, fish, and green vegetables. In addition to eating clean, with very limited cheat foods, she was hitting the gym with Alexander for two-hour workouts six days a week. Their grueling sweat sessions began one month before the shoot, and went down to three or four times a week during filming. After announcing her split from Nick Lachey after nearly four years of marriage, she was criticized for her curvier figure while performing at the 2009 Chilli Cookoff in Florida. Six months later, her apparent weight gain became a topic of conversation among fans after she performed the national anthem at the ATT Golf Tournament. Almost immediately after her brand posted the image, last week, social media users flocked to the comments section to marvel over how she looks exactly the same In response, she stated that it isn't 'fair that women look in the mirror and feel disgust because of what society has made them believe about beauty.' 'I've been through it myself and understand the pressures. We're all facing the same struggles together, whether you're a celebrity or not,' she continued in a 2009 interview with Glamour. At the time, her ex-husband spoke out in her defense as he told the Associated Press 'it's ridiculous that the media is making such a big deal about [her weight gain].' 'It's ridiculous that it would be making headlines. But you can't believe everything that's written or reported in the media. I wish her nothing but happiness,' he said, at the time. As social media trolls body shamed her size, Simpson met her now-estranged husband Eric Johnson through a mutual friend at a party in 2010. Within six months, the lovebirds announced they were engaged in November 2010. A year later, the beauty proudly showed off her baby bump while pregnant with their first child on the April issue of Elle magazine. She also revealed the idea to pose completely nude was her decision. 'They didn't even ask me to do that,' she told Seacrest on his radio show in 2012. 'It was my idea. It kind of just seemed a natural thing for me to do.' 'I'm like 170 pounds and I wanted to pose nude. I try to be like 110 pounds. It's funny to be at your heaviest and feel the most confident. I just take such pride in being a mom! I just love my body more than ever now.' While pregnant with Maxwell Drew, now ten, she mused on the Ellen DeGeneres Show that she was only expecting one child amid rumors that she was having twins. 'Believe it or not there is only one girl,' she told the host with a laugh. 'But I did get knocked up by a baller. A big football player. That's what I get. He's like 6' 4.' Following the birth of Maxwell, Simpson became a Weight Watchers spokesperson. She credited the points system weight loss program with helping her lose 60 pounds. 'When I had Maxwell I gained a lot of weight. More than I thought I would,' the actress told the MomFeeds blog. 'And when it came time to try to take it off, it felt overwhelming. Stepping on the scale and seeing that number was really scary.' Within a year, she was expecting her second child, a baby boy name Ace. 'With Maxwell, I vegged out and laid around. I knew I didn't have to watch what I was eating for the first time in my life,' she said during an interview with USA Today. For her second pregnancy, the singer-turned-business mogul told People that she 'only gained half of what I did in my first pregnancy' by continuing to work out three days a week. 'With my first pregnancy I really let go. I felt like I deserved to eat whatever I wanted,' she recalled. Following her son's birth, she resumed her role as a Weight Watchers spokesmodel. After giving birth for the second time, she revealed in her memoir, Open Book, that she trimmed down to 107 pounds in 2015, before undergoing a partial tummy tuck as a 35th birthday gift to herself. 'The surgery wasn't for weight loss. I weighed 107 pounds when I planned the surgery. I wanted to get rid of the stretch marks and loose skin left sagging from my back-to-back pregnancies,' she wrote. In 2019, Simpson became pregnant with her third child, Birdie Mae, and 'reached 260lbs.' The weight gain prompted her to throw out her scale as she joked about eating 'a box of Milk Duds for breakfast and a chocolate donut' on the Today Show, at the time. 'I was much heavier than my husband who played in the NFL, so that pregnancy really did me in. I'm almost 5ft4in, 260 was real heavy for me,' she said. To lose the weight, she worked with trainer, Harley Pasternak, who created a program, which gradually had her working 14,000 per day, according to E! News. She also went to a nutritionist to get her 'eating habits right' and following Harley's Body Reset Diet plan, which includes three meals a day to 'keep the metabolism humming' as well as smoothies and snacks. 'I always celebrate my body. The fact that it made children is you just don't ever think you're going to fit back into things. It's crazy. A woman's body is phenomenal in what it can do,' she told People in April. She continued: 'I never thought of being in a bikini again, because I was stretched out as big as the couch.' The performer went on to state that she found a new sense of confidence after donning the swimsuit and hoped that her fans would feel the same way upon reflecting on their own achievements. 'You're proud of yourself and you deserve it...[and you're] understanding yourself and feeling good on the outside. When those two things click, the sky's the limit,' she said.

The Kill Bill and Reservoir Dogs icon was found 'unresponsive' at his Malibu home early Thursday morning, can confirm. Deputies responded to the Los Angeles County home after a 911 call early Thursday. Madsen was pronounced dead at the home. The star's manager Ron Smith claimed to that Madsen had died from 'cardiac arrest.' In March 2025 Madsen posed for a rare magazine cover for Hollywood Times - and announced that he was the new face of a cigar company. The cover saw him channel Kill Bill character Budd in a cowboy hat with the caption: 'I am the new face of @doncapa_cigars Thank you to @hollywoodtimesmag for this magazine cover! Deputies responded to the Los Angeles County home after a 911 call early Thursday. Madsen was pronounced dead at the home. The star's manager Ron Smith claimed to that Madsen had died from 'cardiac arrest.' A statement from the star's representatives read: 'In the last two years Michael Madsen has been doing some incredible work with independent film including upcoming feature films Resurrection Road, Concessions and Cookbook for Southern Housewives, and was really looking forward to this next chapter in his life. 'Madsen was also preparing to release a new book called Tears For My Father: Outlaw Thoughts and Poems. 'Michael Madsen was one of Hollywood's most iconic actors, who will be missed by many.' Madsen was best known for his frequent collaborations with director Quentin Tarantino, starring in Reservoir Dogs (1992), Kill Bill: Volume 2 (2004), The Hateful Eight (2015), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019). He also starred in 1997's Donnie Brasco as Sonny Black Madsen is survived by his five children. His son Hudson died by suicide in 2022 aged 26. He was first wed to Georganne LaPiere, half-sister of singer and actress Cher from 1984-1988. A frequent collaborator of Quentin Tarantino, Madsen has starred in films including 1993's Reservoir Dogs (left) and 2003's Kill Bill (right) His death comes 11 months after the Kill Bill star was arrested for domestic violence amid claims he got physical with his spouse DeAnna - the case was later tossed out - pictured 2009 He welcomed a daughter named Jessica with Dana Mechling. He was married to Jeannine Bisignano from 1991 to 1995. They have two sons, Christian and Max. In 1996, he married DeAnna. Together they had three sons, Luke, Kalvin and Hudson. His death comes 11 months after his domestic violence case - where he was accused of shoving wife DeAnna - was dismissed due to 'insufficient evidence.' 'We are thrilled that Michael Madsen is able to put this behind him and look forward to our continued collaboration with more great things coming from this veteran and respected actor,' his representative said at the time. The star was arrested for domestic violence amid claims he got physical with his spouse. He also allegedly locked her out of their home, which is located in the Los Angeles area. The Reservoir Dogs star was given a misdemeanor domestic violence charge at the time. He also had to spend part of his weekend in jail, before posting a $20,000 bond. Days later in a statement to THR, Madsen's lawyer Perry Wander insisted that his client was 'not guilty of domestic violence.' A representative for the star confirmed the incident saying: 'It was a disagreement between Michael and his wife, which we hope resolves positively for them both.' Madsen filed for divorce from DeAnna in September 2024 - and in court papers obtained by he accused his estranged wife of driving their son to die by suicide 'by her neglect, drinking and alcoholism.' A month later, he issued a regretful Instagram statement apologizing for his claims and denying he had wanted to end their marriage. He said: 'Losing a child is the hardest and most painful experience that can happen in this world. I deeply apologize for not correcting this earlier but I love my wife and our other 4 children and have no desire for divorce or blame. 'She had absolutely nothing to do with what happened to our son. It was a horrible loss and choice that was made for reasons that truly cannot ever be known because the person is gone, I don't think my son is dead , I think he escaped from a life that didn't make sense anymore.' It wasn't Madsen's first brush with the law. In 2022 the Hollywood actor was arrested for trespassing at a luxury house from which he was evicted, reported. It was a $5.3 million Malibu mansion just across the Pacific Coast Highway from La Costa Beach. A source exclusively told at the time: 'Michael had been living at the house since last year, but the lease was in another person's name.' The house was leased out by another person and several thousand dollars were owed in back rent, has learned. The owner had tried for the past two years to get the tenants evicted, but because of the moratorium on evictions on account of Covid, it took several months to go through the legal process. His arrest came just a month after his son, US Army Sgt. Hudson Madsen shot himself dead on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he was stationed with the 25th Infantry Division. Hudson was an Afghan war vet. Hudson's death came a week after his wife Carlie underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her breast. 'I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy - my last text from him was "I love you dad,"' he told the Los Angeles Times. 'I didn't see any signs of depression. It's so tragic and sad. I'm just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened.' Madsen said his son's marriage was 'going strong' and he had recently completed his first tour in the U.S. Army. 'He had typical life challenges that people have with finances, but he wanted a family. He was looking towards his future, so its mind-blowing. I just can't grasp what happened.' Madsen has requested a full military investigation into his son's death. The actor thinks 'the officers and rank and file were shaming' Hudson for wanting therapy. He believes this stopped him from seeking help for mental health issues he had been keeping to himself. In 2019, the actor was axed from a $100,000 role in movie Confessions of a Serial Killer after crashing his Land Rover into a pole and subsequently being arrested for DUI. He was later sentenced to four days in jail. In 2012 he was also arrested for DUI after driving erratically but struck a plea deal that involved attending AA meetings in lieu of more severe punishment. However, after Madsen failed to attend his court ordered Alcoholics Anonymous meetings his probation was revoked. That same year he was arrested at his Malibu home after allegedly getting into a physical fight with his son after catching him smoking marijuana. The actor was being held in jail on $100,000 bail after being charged with child endangerment with cruelty to a child: a felony charge, which means it is considered a crime of high seriousness. He did not face any charges after his arrest for suspected child endangerment.

Alternate Diddy juror reveals his take on shock verdict that surprised everyone
One of the alternate jurors in Diddy 's bombshell trial has spoken out to say he agrees with the sex-trafficking and racketeering acquittals. George, who only gave his first name to CNN, said that he understood the verdict and 'probably would have reached the same conclusion' as the jury who declared Diddy not guilty of the most serious charges he faced. He explained that jurors were not told who was an alternate and who was in the 12-member final panel until 'the last second,' so he took 350 pages of notes during the seven-week trial. George also described the video evidence he saw of the 'freak offs' at the center of the case against Diddy, who in the end was only convicted of lesser prostitution offenses. The video evidence remained sealed throughout the trial, and only the jury and lawyers got to see it in court. George said the videos shown by Diddy's lawyers mostly showed Cassie 'sitting around.' Those shown by the state showed more sexual activity, he added. However, George said the sexual activity 'did not seem forced.' 'It was actually like pretty tame,' he revealed 'It was just a lot of rubbing oil and stuff... it wasn't anything too graphic.' George also addressed the 2016 video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in a hotel hallway. He said that while it was 'a very bad video,' Diddy was not charged with domestic violence - repeating one of the defense's main arguments in the case. George said in the end the video would not have influenced his conclusion that Diddy is not guilty of sex trafficking or racketeering. The alternate juror's comments come after Diddy was spared life in prison on Wednesday in Manhattan. Diddy dropped to his knees and prayed in the courtroom after he was acquitted Wednesday of sex trafficking and racketeering charges that could have put one of hip-hop's celebrated figures behind bars for life. The rapper was convicted of lesser prostitution-related offenses and denied bail as he awaits sentencing. The mixed verdict capped a sordid legal odyssey that shattered Combs' affable 'Puff Daddy' image and derailed his career as a Grammy-winning artist and music executive, fashion entrepreneur, brand ambassador and reality TV star. 'I'll see you when I get out,' Diddy told family members including his mother and children just before leaving the courtroom to return to jail. 'We're going to get through this.' Diddy stands convicted of two counts of a crime — transportation to engage in prostitution — that carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison. But jurors cleared him of three charges, two of which carried a mandatory 15 years and a maximum of life. He was convicted of flying people around the country, including his girlfriends and male sex workers, to engage in sexual encounters, a felony violation of the federal Mann Act.
