Sandler also gave insight on Kelce and Bad Bunny's chemistry in the movie, saying that the two worked well together.
'You two guys were amazing together,' Sandler said. 'He was so sweet, and you had to be a little bit of a louse to him. You didn't like doing it because you love the guy. You had to be mean to Benito, but we got it done and you look cool.'

'It was just so much fun hearing the role and then Adam helping me like find the role on set and then just like it took me a second because looking at Bad Bunny in a scene it is hilarious, it is hilarious,' Kelce said.
'Bad Bunny is just naturally funny as f–k, and I don't know if people aren't around him enough. They are going to find out in 'Happy Gilmore 2' how funny this guy really is.'

Here's why you should never name your baby one of these 3 common names, speech therapist says
Don't name them that. Millennial parents are using the '90s as inspiration for naming their newborns — which is fine, as long as they avoid three names in particular, according to a speech therapist. Chloe Conrad is a speech-language pathologist who often posts informative, helpful videos for parents on her Instagram page. In one of Conrad's recent posts, she shared three specific names parents should never consider naming their baby — and for good reason. 'Three names I would never name my child as a speech therapist: Rory, Rowan and Aurora. They're so hard to say,' the expert point-blank said in the video, which has garnered over 250,000 views. In the caption of the post, she provided some more context on her opinion: 'Basically any name with R and O in it next to each other. I LOVE the way they sound but struggle teaching a child to say them.' If you struggle pronouncing these challenging names — you're not alone. Many people in the comment section agreed with Conrad. 'My guess was Aurora before I ever heard it! Lol. I have the hardest time saying it! We had a little girl on our soccer team last season and even the parents yelling it sounded off to me! Lol.' 'lol I've always found Rory hard but I just realised I can't say Aurora at all.' 'So true lol all those Rs!' Conrad explained in an interview with why so many people struggle pronouncing these, rather simple-looking names. When there's a word or name that has a R before an O — most people struggle articulating these letters together. 'The W sound is made with rounded lips, and O is also a rounded vowel,' she told the outlet. 'So when you put the two together, it becomes increasingly difficult for a young child to produce clearly.' Thankfully, it seems that most parents are avoiding these tricky-to-pronounce names — and instead are opting for simpler names like Liam and Olivia. Liam has ranked No. 1 for boys' names eight consecutive years — while Olivia has taken the cake for girls' names for six years in a row. Aside from these two, old-fashioned baby names like Theodore, Oliver, Owen, Eleanor, Eloise and Margaret are back in style. 'I think vintage names evoke a sense of nostalgia. I get a lot of clients who pull out their family tree, looking to grandparents and great-grandparents for name inspiration,' Colleen Slagen, author of the forthcoming book 'Naming Bebe,' told Yahoo!

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has dinner with singer Katy Perry in Montreal
MONTREAL -- Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Katy Perry had dinner together in Montreal this week. A communications consultant for the restaurant Le Violon confirmed Tuesday that the former prime minister and the singer spent about two hours at the fine-dining spot Monday evening. Photos of the meetup published by TMZ sparked speculation of a budding romance. Samantha Jin said the pair kept to themselves and neither the staff nor other patrons approached them for a photo. 'We kind of got the vibe that they were a little more chill,' she said. Jin added that there was no indication of romance in the air, noting: 'No visual signs of PDA or anything.' The report about the dinner first appeared on TMZ, which posted video of Trudeau and Perry in animated conversation at the eatery. Perry recently split from longtime partner Orlando Bloom and is on tour with stops including Ottawa on Tuesday, Montreal on Wednesday, Quebec City on Friday, and two dates in Toronto next week. Trudeau and his ex-wife Sophie Grégoire separated in 2023. During the meal, Jin said security watched from the bar as the pair noshed on a chef's menu featuring a range of appetizers including tuna, beef tartare, lobster and asparagus, with lamb as their main course. Jin said Chef Danny Smiles stopped by their table to say hello, and before heading out, they came into the kitchen to thank the team. A spokeswoman for Trudeau didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for Perry wasn't immediately available for comment. Trudeau announced his resignation earlier this year after nearly a decade in power. His father, late Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, was a bachelor when he became prime minister. He dated actresses Barbra Streisand and Kim Cattrall and married a 22-year-old woman while in office at age 51. Born and raised in California, Perry is a 13-time Grammy Award nominee. She helped usher in the sound of '00s pop, quickly becoming one of the bestselling artists of all time for her campy, big, belting anthems. She has released seven studio albums, most notably 2010's sugar-sweet 'Teenage Dream.' The album produced five No. 1s that tied a record set by Michael Jackson's 1987 album 'Bad.'

Seth Meyers Says the Future of Late-Night Is ‘Outside of My Control,' Worries About Himself ‘Mental Health-Wise' if His Show Is Canceled: ‘It Is Such a Time We're Living In'
Seth Meyers is opening up about his future in late-night. On a recent episode of 'Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard,' Meyers said the future of his show, 'Late Night With Seth Meyers,' is 'outside of my control,' and that he worries the entire TV 'ecosystem' eventually 'might not support' evening talk shows altogether. The 'Armchair Expert' Instagram account noted that the interview was recorded before the news that 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' was canceled. More from Variety Piers Morgan: 'No Wonder' Stephen Colbert Got Canceled When Most Late Night Hosts Are 'Activist Hacks for the Democrats' David Letterman Blasts CBS and Skydance on 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Cancellation: 'This Is Pure Cowardice' Stephen Colbert Hails 'South Park' Premiere's Naked Trump as 'Important Message of Hope for Our Times' When asked by host Dax Shepard if he had any 'fear' that his show could 'end tomorrow,' Meyers said, 'I do. I mean, only because it is such a time we're living in, as far as the entertainment industry. There is this weird thing that I feel like I shifted from fearing that I wouldn't be good enough. And now my fear is weirdly more outside of my control, which is … just at some point, the ecosystem might not support [late-night].' Meyers added that despite the urge to worry, he tries to focus on the job and trust that his team has his back. 'That's the only part they're paying you to do. It's the only part you're good at,' Meyers said. 'All the other problems, we have people that are as good at that as you are at the thing you do — and don't mess around with it.' Later in the interview, Meyers was asked by co-host Monica Padman about his financial stability if 'Late Night' was canceled. He explained he was more worried about his mental well-being than his bank account. 'I would worry about myself, like, mental health-wise,' he said. 'But I put a lot of thought into diversifying my skill set. Certainly, financially, I could have been fine just doing the show for the last eleven years. But then it was like, oh, you know what? I feel like there's something to trying to build a stand-up career and trying to do other things.' He added, 'It's more like, try to find something that makes you as happy as late night's making you, but it's not just to have busy work or anything. It's like, oh, I like these things, too. And there's no one entity that can take everything away at once, and I think that's the scariest situation to be in.' The long-struggling late-night industry has been put on notice ever since CBS abruptly canceled Stephen Colbert's 'Late Show.' While the network cited the move as a 'financial decision,' some have wondered if it was to appease a Donald Trump-controlled FCC amid a pending merger between Paramount, CBS' parent company, and Skydance.
