Philadelphia rapper Gillie Da King challenges Taylor Swift to Super Bowl bet
In an Instagram video, Gillie said if the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, he'll wear Travis Kelce's jersey for "three days straight" and do his famous "Blow the Whistle" dance in front of his souped-up Eagles-mobile.
Swift, who grew up in Berks County, has been dating Kelce since 2023, and spent the last two seasons attending Chiefs games and cheering on the reigning Super Bowl champions with family and friends.
"We know somewhere deep down in your heart you're an Eagles fan," Gillie said in an appeal to Swift, "but sometimes love tangles and twists things, so we forgive you Miss Taylor Swift."
If the Eagles win the Super Bowl, Gillie challenged Swift to wear former Philadelphia center Jason Kelce's jersey "not for three days, not even for 10 seconds."
The 14-time Grammy winner will just need to wear Jason's jersey and do Gillie's dance for a mere four seconds.
"Do you accept the challenge, Miss Swift? We love you!" Gillie said. "Shoutout to all the Swifties!"
Taylor Swift has yet to respond to or accept Gillie's challenge.
But aside from football and friendly sibling rivalries, Gillie had another request for Swift: Drop the brand of her signature red lip color.
"My wife wanted me to ask you where you get the red lipstick from. What brand is that, because she's been trying to find it and can't find it."
Safe to assume Swift will be rocking that red lip with her Chiefs gear this weekend.
"Blow the Whistle" videos go viral
Gillie Da King started posting videos dancing in his driveway earlier in the Eagles season. The clips, which usually feature a rotating cast of neighbors who join in on the dance, have amassed millions of views and tons of copies from Eagles fans.
The rapper and podcaster even ended up in the Eagles locker room after Philadelphia beat the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game, where he danced to Too Short's "Blow the Whistle" with the team.
Clad in an oversized Eagles hat and head-to-toe Philly gear, Gillie Da King's moves have become the signature celebration of Philly fans this season. "All this positive Energy Brings Positive Results," he said in a recent post.

Gary Busey pleads guilty to sex offense at NJ horror convention
CHERRY HILL, N.J. (AP) — Actor Gary Busey has pleaded guilty to a sexual offense stemming from an appearance at a 2022 horror convention in New Jersey, according to his representatives and court records. The 81-year-old 'Buddy Holly' star's manager, Ron Sampson, said in an email Friday that the actor admitted to touching a woman's buttocks 'over clothing during an 8-10 second photo op.' Busey entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal sexual contact during a virtual hearing in state court in Camden on Thursday. The actor had been accused of inappropriately touching at least three women at the Monster-Mania Convention at the Doubletree Hotel in Cherry Hill, a South Jersey town and suburb of Philadelphia. Organizers of the event acknowledged at the time that an unnamed celebrity guest was 'removed from the convention and instructed not to return' and that affected attendees were encouraged to contact police. Busey had been scheduled as a featured guest for all three days of the event. He was initially charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. Busey's lawyer, Blair Zwillman, confirmed Friday that the other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors. The actor faces up to five years' probation and fines when he is sentenced Sept. 18. 'In my view Mr. Busey was 'overcharged' probably based on his star status,' Zwillman said in an email. 'He could have just as easily been charged with the disorderly persons offense of harassment by 'offensive touching'.' Spokespersons for Camden County prosecutors didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment Friday. Busey is widely known as a character actor, largely in supporting roles, though he came to attention and was nominated for an Oscar for best actor for playing the title role in the 1978 film 'The Buddy Holly Story.'

American Eagle responds to critics over ad with Sydney Sweeney, saying it was always about the jeans
NEW YORK (AP) — Teen retailer American Eagle Outfitters has a message to its critics, who took issue over its denim ad campaign with 27-year-old actor Sydney Sweeney that sparked a debate over race and Western beauty standards. The campaign, the retailer said, was always about the jeans. In a statement posted on American Eagle's Instagram account on Friday, the retailer said the ad campaign 'is and always was about the jeans. Her jeans. Her story. We'll continue to celebrate how everyone wears their AE jeans with confidence, their way. Great jeans look good on everyone.' The message marked the first time the teen retailer responded to days of backlash since the ad with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans' launched last week. In the run-up to the ad blitz, the company's chief marketing officer told trade media outlets that it included 'clever, even provocative language' and was 'definitely going to push buttons." It's unclear if the company knew how much controversy the ad could raise. Most of the negative reception focused on videos that used the word 'genes' instead of 'jeans' when discussing the blonde-haired, blue-eyed actor known for the HBO series 'Euphoria' and 'White Lotus.' Critics found the most troubling was a teaser video in which Sweeney says, 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality and even eye color. My jeans are blue.' Other commenters accused detractors of reading too much into the campaign's message. Some marketing experts said the buzz is always good even if it's not uniformly positive. 'If you try to follow all the rules, you'll make lots of people happy, but you'll fail,' Allen Adamson, co-founder of marketing consultancy Metaforce said. 'The rocket won't take off.'
