New in Theaters:  “Jurassic World: Rebirth”

Travis Kelce became a whole new level of famous when he started dating Taylor Swift . . . and he wasn’t ready for it.  In a recent podcast interview, he said, quote, “That’s probably the only thing I didn’t really grasp until you’re in it.” It’s gotten so bad, he can’t even enjoy a game of golf the way he used to.  “I’m just playing golf and all of a sudden in the trees there’s a guy with a camera. But one thing Travis would like you to know is that he and Taylor are NOT looking for attention when they go out in public.  “We’re having fun with it, man, being a couple. It gets thrown out there, like we’re trying to seek attention every now and  then.  We’re just enjoying life and having fun, going to hockey games.  [I’m] kind of introducing her to some more of the sports world.”

Keith Urban abruptly ended a radio interview in Australia after being asked an uncomfortable question about his wife, Nicole Kidman. If you didn’t know, she has some pretty steamy scenes with Zac Efron in her new Netflix film “A Family Affair”. During a Zoom chat with an Australian radio show, Keith was asked a pretty personal question . . . “What does Keith Urban think when he sees his beautiful wife, with beautiful younger men like Zac Efron, having these beautiful love scenes on TV?” And then it was just DEAD AIR.  Keith’s team, or Keith himself, had clearly pulled the plug. Keith just celebrated 19 years of marriage to Nicole. 

Jelly Roll and The Rock have been friends for almost a decade.  But it’s all been online.  And they finally got the chance to meet in person. When Jelly saw him, he said, “I’ve been waiting a decade for this hug, man.”  And they gave each other a big hug. The Rock tells a story about how he found Jelly’s song, “Only”, when he was having a tough time in life.  And it cheered him up when he was in a dark place.

Khloe Kardashian and Kylie and Kendall Jenner were reportedly not invited to Jeff Bezos’ wedding, but Kris Jenner pulled some strings so she could bring them. 

Jennifer Aniston will star in a TV series based on “I’m Glad My Mom Died”, the autobiography of “iCarly” star Jennette McCurdy.
