@taylorswift13 Taylor I saw that video that Justin posted today of Travis dancing and singing into his golf club. I see he's been practicing for your next tour. His formal audition is at Kelce Jam. You might as well just sign him. We all know you are putting him on stage. Ha ha. — jamieson (@135791) April 30, 2025

Jennifer Love Hewitt clears the air on Sarah Michelle Gellar friendship
Jennifer Love Hewitt has shut down rumors of a feud with fellow I Know What You Did Last Summer star Sarah Michelle Gellar, as speculation swirled following the film's 2025 revival premiere. Speaking exclusively to The New York Post, Hewitt, 46, addressed the alleged tension, saying, 'I honestly remain still so confused by all of that stuff,' and emphasized that media often pits women against each other. She continued, 'Nobody asks how often Freddie [Prinze Jr.] and Ryan [Phillippe] have seen each other since the original movie.' Rumors began when Hewitt and Gellar didn't pose together on the red carpet at the July 14 premiere. However, Gellar later explained via Instagram that she didn't see Hewitt at the event due to timing and attending with her kids. 'I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,' Gellar wrote. Hewitt insisted there's no bad blood, saying, 'I have absolutely zero beef with Sarah at all. I applaud her for being a long-standing badass career woman, a mom, wife — all the things that I am, that we have in common.' The 9-1-1 actress, who shares three kids with actor Brian Hallisay, expressed hope for more sequels, depending on story quality and fan interest. The original 1997 horror classic saw Hewitt, Gellar, Prinze Jr., and Phillippe play teens haunted by a past accident. Only Hewitt and Prinze Jr.'s characters survived the original. The new 2025 film teases future installments in its post-credit scene. Despite rumors, the cast appears supportive of each other, and fans may yet see them reunite on-screen again.

Rachel Zegler leaves Evita stage mid-show after falling ill
Rachel Zegler, currently starring in Evita at London's West End Palladium, abruptly exited Thursday evening's performance due to illness, according to People. The 24-year-old actress had performed the matinee earlier that day but was unable to continue the night show. During intermission, the production announced Zegler's departure, and understudy Bella Brown took over the lead role of Eva Perón for the second act. Brown opened the act with the show's most iconic number, 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina,' and delivered a performance that earned her a standing ovation lasting nearly five minutes. She and the cast returned for 10 curtain calls. Sharing her thoughts on Instagram, Brown praised understudies and stand-ins, saying, 'They are pillars of a show!' She later called the experience 'a proud day to be at Evita.' -Instagram. Zegler's absence comes amid a headline-making run of the Jamie Lloyd-directed production, which opened in June and continues through September 6. While many have praised Zegler's West End debut, the staging choice for her performance of 'Don't Cry for Me Argentina' — sung from a balcony outside the theatre while audiences inside watch via livestream — sparked controversy. Some ticketholders expressed frustration on social media, questioning the value of the experience. Others defended the choice, viewing it as a poignant symbol of accessibility for those unable to afford theatre admission. The role is a personal milestone for Zegler, who previously shared that Evita had deep meaning to her and her father. 'The stage has always felt like home to me,' she told Deadline in March. Zegler's off-stage life has also drawn attention recently. She was seen with dancer Nathan Louis-Fernand at a Sabrina Carpenter concert in July, following reports of her split from actor Josh Andrés Rivera. Her latest role follows a tumultuous year, including public backlash over her comments during Disney's Snow White press tour and the film's poor box office performance.

The Rock's emotional tribute to Hulk Hogan leaves fans in tears
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has shared a powerful and emotional tribute to wrestling icon Hulk Hogan, who has died at the age of 71. While tributes poured in from across the wrestling world, Johnson's message stood out for its deeply personal tone, tracing a bond that began long before he entered the ring. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Johnson recounted how Hogan became a hero to him as a young boy. He remembered catching Hogan's signature 'Hulkster' headband at Madison Square Garden in 1984 during a main event match against Paul Orndorff.

True to his word, Hogan sent Johnson a fresh set weeks later. 'That meant the world to that little 12-year-old boy,' Johnson wrote. But the story didn't end there. Seventeen years later, that same boy stood in the ring as a global superstar, facing off against Hogan in the main event of WrestleMania. Johnson reflected on the moment when Hogan kicked out of his finishing move, saying the roar of the crowd was unlike anything he'd ever heard. 'That historic crowd reaction was all for you,' he wrote, adding, 'Thank you for the house, brother.' Johnson's tribute captured more than just nostalgia. It told a story of admiration, respect, and a passing of the torch between two of wrestling's greatest showmen. Fans responded with tears and gratitude, praising Johnson for sharing such a raw and sincere memory in the wake of Hogan's death. While the official cause of death remains undisclosed, Hogan's legacy continues through the memories of those he inspired, none more striking than The Rock's.
