The retired star, known for staying calm under pressure, recently shared the one time he couldn't hold back his excitement - and it had nothing to do with basketball. Dwyane Wade recalls shouting at Bellamy Young at a 2013 Hollywood event On July 8, Dwyane Wade shared a fun story during his appearance on Today with Jenna & Friends. He told host Jenna Bush Hager about an unexpected celebrity moment that happened back in 2013 at a Hollywood event in Los Angeles.

He didn't plan to say anything. It just came out. 'I just screamed it. I didn't even know that was in me,' Wade said, laughing. To his surprise, Bellamy Young heard him. She turned around, smiled, and walked over to chat. Union was ready to leave, but Wade wasn't. He was too excited to meet one of his favorite characters. He explained that he's more into characters than celebrities. 'When you're watching shows and connecting with characters, it feels personal,' he said.

Kamala Harris Wanted Taylor Swift At Her Campaign Rally But Singer Ghosted Her: Book
Last Updated: Taylor Swift declined to perform at Kamala Harris's 2024 rally despite personal outreach, a new book claimed. Taylor Swift Pop superstar Taylor Swift posed a 'special challenge" for Kamala Harris's 2024 presidential campaign, ultimately ghosting a personal outreach effort led by Kamala Harris's husband Doug Emhoff, a new book claimed. Kamala Harris's campaign had high hopes that Taylor Swift might appear or even perform at her final rally in Philadelphia, but the singer declined, the book revealed. Campaign aides were reportedly instructed not to contact Taylor Swift's team directly. Instead, Doug Emhoff, a former Hollywood lawyer, reached out quietly through Taylor Swift's attorney Doug Baldridge in a bid to secure her support. 'Taylor Swift proved to be a special challenge," the book stated, as quoted by the New York Post. While the campaign wanted a high-profile endorsement, Taylor Swift ultimately opted to offer a limited show of support via social media after a key debate. Her attorney reportedly said, 'Swift would do what Swift thought was best." At the time, Taylor Swift publicly endorsed Kamala Harris in an Instagram post signed off as 'Childless Cat Lady". Taylor Swift wrote, 'I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them." advetisement Taylor Swift, who backed Joe Biden in the 2020 election, praised Kamala Harris as a 'steady-handed, gifted leader," and emphasized her desire for stability over chaos. 'I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos," she added in the post. Kamala Harris' Focus On A-Listers With Taylor Swift staying at arm's length, the Kamala Harris campaign turned to other A-list celebrities to energize the base. Oprah Winfrey, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen, Megan Thee Stallion and Katy Perry were among those who participated in flashy rallies across battleground states. According to the book, these events cost around $20 million but produced little measurable impact. 'Privately, some campaign staff raised concerns that the major rallies may not be worth the millions of dollars they cost to stage or the staff investment," the book noted.
