Is Taylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" About Alexander Skarsgård? He Says…
Originally appeared on E! Online Alexander Skarsgård is tall and, some would say, handsome as hell. But does that mean he's the unnamed person hidden within Taylor Swift's song 'Wildest Dreams?' While many Swifties have thought so for years—based on the pair's time working together on The Giver—it wasn't until recently that Alexander finally faced the rumors head on. After Armchair Expert podcast host Dax Shepard joked that he's told his and Kristen Bell's daughters for years that the song is about him, only to discover in his preparation for the episode that Alexander has been named as the mystery tall man, the Big Little Lies alum laughed and smiled blithely. Dax joked that now he'd 'have to kill' Alexander, he then asked him, 'Do you have the same fear to either acknowledge or deny that that could be true, because the power of the Swifties is so strong that you don't even want to talk about it?' To which the Murderbot actor laughed and admitted, 'Yeah.' But while Alexander neither officially confirmed nor denied the longstanding rumors, he did lean into the bit. More from E! Online Ozzy Osbourne, Rock Legend, Dead at 76 Malcolm-Jamal Warner's Official Cause of Death Revealed Rosie Roche, Cousin of Prince Harry and Prince William, Dead at 20 'Well, I'm gonna be honest,' he said. 'I wrote the lyrics to that song and sent it to Taylor.' One of which is, 'He's so bad, but he does it so well,' which Dax deemed 'the line' of the song. After all, as Alexander agreed, 'A lot of people can be bad, but can you do it well? You cannot do it well.' The exchange between the actors is reminiscent of conversations that have long surrounded Taylor's discography. After all, the Grammy winner has been known to base some of her music on real figures or events in her life—prompting an eternal mission for Swifties to match the celebrity to their song. Over the years, some of the celebrities that have become attached to Taylor's music include Jake Gyllenhaal ('All Too Well'), Joe Jonas ('Forever and Always'), Taylor Lautner ('Back to December'), and, of course, both her most recent ex Joe Alwyn and her current boyfriend Travis Kelce. In fact, Taylor's most recent album The Tortured Poets Department featured a number of songs believed to be written about Matty, Joe and Travis.

Hailey Bieber Says Marriage with Justin Is a 'Crazy Life' as She Opens Up About Navigating Divorce Speculation
Hailey Bieber is finding a calm spot in the storm. In an interview with Vogue Italia published on July 23, the Rhode founder, 28, talked about navigating the rumors around her marriage with Justin Bieber while going through postpartum. Hailey, who gave birth to her and Justin's son, Jack Blues, in August 2024, admitted that the time after she gave birth was "the most delicate period I've ever been through in my life" and that "learning to live with a new version" of herself was "very difficult." "And having to do all this while constantly reading falsehoods on the internet like 'They're getting divorced' or 'They're no longer happy together' is something that really drives you crazy. I'm not even sure I can explain it. It's a crazy life," said the mom of one. However, most of what's written about her online "isn't true" and she does, in fact, "have a real life. It's the one I share with my wonderful family, with my friends, with the people who know me and love me." Vogue Italia also obtained a quote from Hailey's close pal, Kendall Jenner, who described her as "caring" and "almost maternal." "I'm a bit of a hypochondriac, and if I'm having a panic attack, she'll come right over and take care of me," added the model. In a Vogue cover story published in May, Hailey fiercely defended her relationship with Justin, reflecting on the hate that she expected to subside following her pregnancy. 'Well, I thought seven years in it would've already, and it hasn't," she replied when asked if she thought the internet chatter would eventually die down. "You would think after having a child, people would maybe move on, chill out a little bit, but no," she said. "So I guess these bitches are going to be mad.'

"And the way she makes being a mom and wife look easy.' The singer also reflected on his marriage, noting, 'I've done a lot of dumb things in my life, but the smartest thing I've ever done was marry Hailey.' Hailey and Justin tied the knot in 2018 with a civil ceremony before celebrating with a star-studded wedding in 2019.

BREAKING NEWS Michelle Obama MOCKS Barack's presidential ambitions that brought her fame and fortune as divorce rumors continue to swirl
Barack Obama served two terms as the President of the United States, but his wife Michelle has further fueled divorce rumors by belittling his ambitions. The former first lady, who has been outspoken about her support for her husband's career now - admitted she'd previously questioned the lofty goal to become president that he ultimately ended up achieving. The 61-year-old made the remark Wednesday on the latest episode of her podcast IMO, which she hosts with her brother Craig Robinson. Michelle's jibe came after guest Victoria Monet talked about ambition and being embarrassed to share her dreams to become a singer. Michelle agreed with the singer's admission, likening it to Barack's goals of a presidential run. 'It's like my husband,' she quipped. '"I want to be president of the United States"' 'It's like "no, you might want to keep that to yourself honey,"' Michelle said. The former first lady's wisecrack will likely spark pushback, given it was Barack's hard work and ambition that made Michelle one of the most famous and beloved women in the world. His successful presidential run also helped deposit tens of millions of dollars in the couple's joint bank account after they left the White House. The barb comes as divorce rumors continue to swirl around the couple's 33-year-old marriage, which weathered an eight year stint in the White House between 2009 and 2017. The mom-of-two also spoke about her own career ambitions and taking risks during the episode. Michelle, who attended Harvard Law School before working for a prestigious Chicago law firm, spoke of her 'soul crushing' first job and why she never went back. 'When I came out of law school, I went into a big corporate firm because I went to Harvard and had a lot of debt and that's what you did,' she told Robinson and their guest Victoria Monet. 'I was there for two years, pretty miserable, not because of the place, but because the work was kind of soul crushing to me but I realized I hadn't tried anything else,' she explained. 'And I left and started working in city government and public service and each job , while it paid less, it had me working with people,' the former first lady continued. 'So that year turned into two years, and from that job, you know, working for the deputy chief of staff to working and planning and development and before you know it I was away from law and I've never gone back.' The Obamas met in 1988 when the future president took a job at a law firm in Chicago for the summer where Michelle was already working. The couple have been married for almost 33 years and share daughters, Malia, 26, and Sasha, 24. Over the past few months they have faced ongoing rumors about their marriage status. The rumor mill swirled after her decision to skip both Jimmy Carter's funeral and President Donald Trump's inauguration - with Michelle insisting they were decisions she made for herself. Her absence at the high-profile political events stoked divorce rumors, as did President Obama's admission in April that he was in a 'deep deficit' with his wife. Last week, the couple addressed the speculation that their relationship is on the rocks, When Barack appeared on his wife and brother-in-law's podcast. The pair wasted no time in addressing the rumors of their separation, with Michelle joking that it was nice to be in the same room as her husband, sassily telling her brother: 'When we aren't, folks think we're divorced.' In May, Michelle set the record straight during a podcast with entrepreneur and investor Steven Bartlett following speculation over the former first couple's recent public appearances 'If I were having problems with my husband, everybody would know about it,' she told the host, laughing. She added that she's 'not a martyr' and joked about how she would address such marital strife publicly. Last week, Michelle made a frank admission about life at home with husband after spending months dodging divorce rumors. The mom-of-two shared the insight about being an empty nester with a husband who is no longer serving as the President of the United States on Wednesday's episode of her podcast, IMO, which she hosts with older brother Craig Robinson. 'I mean at this stage in life for me, personally, is the first time I've been completely free,' the mother-of-two told guest Julia Louis-Dreyfus. 'There's been a release where every choice I make is not about my husband, not about his career, not about my family, not about what my kids need or where they're going, it's totally about me,' she admitted, quipping: 'This is when we start living ladies.'

NBA rumors: Suns interested in Jonathan Kuminga, but it's ‘challenging'
The post NBA rumors: Suns interested in Jonathan Kuminga, but it's 'challenging' appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Phoenix Suns have been making some big changes this offseason, and it's obvious that they're going in a different direction than they were in the past few years. Everything still revolves around Devin Booker, as his recent extension shows, but the team around him won't look the same. In an attempt to get younger and more athletic, the team has made the necessary moves to do so, and they don't seem to be done, as their next target is Jonathan Kuminga, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer. 'Fresh off completing a buyout of Bradley Beal this week, enabling the Suns to waive-and-stretch the hefty contract possessed by the three-time NBA All-Star guard, they have contacted both Kuminga's representation and the Warriors to make their fondness for the bouncy swingman known,' Fischer wrote. 'The Suns, to be clear, do not appear to possess the sort of draft capital or players that Golden State is believed to be seeking in exchange for Kuminga. 'Yet, he certainly did come up in trade talks between the teams during the season, sources say, when the Warriors were pursuing the re-acquisition of Kevin Durant. Rather than reunite Durant and Stephen Curry before the Feb. 6 trade deadline, Golden State ultimately acquired Jimmy Butler instead.' It looks like the Suns are ready to revisit these talks, but there may be one thing holding the Warriors back from making a deal. The one contract the Suns will try to get off is Grayson Allen, but the Warriors don't want it, according to Brett Siegel of ClutchPoints. Kuminga would be a nice addition to the Suns, and he will give them much-needed wing depth and size. It's uncertain if the Warriors plan on keeping Kuminga or if they may be waiting for the right deal to trade him. As of now, he'll continue to be a restricted free agent, and his market will have to keep playing out as the offseason goes on.
