It seems like it was ages ago that she was rumored to be dating The 1975’s Matty Healy. However, there was talk of his possible appearance on Swift’s re-recording of 1989. Now, that has been debunked, according to Billboard. A spokesperson for Swift told the publication that “neither Matty Healy nor [The] 1975 are on this album.”
It was in June that it was reported that Swift and Healy broke up. “According to a friend close to the situation … Taylor is in fact ‘single’ again, although it’s still unclear exactly why they’ve now split up,” TMZ reported, adding that they “haven’t been seen in public together since May 25 when they were out on a dinner date.”
There has already been gossip speculating another Swift relationship, this time with Travis Kelce of the Kansas City Chiefs. A source reportedly told The Messenger, “Taylor and Travis have been quietly hanging out. She saw him when she was in NYC a few weeks ago.” A source also reportedly told TMSPN, “Taylor Swift had scheduled to go to a place she frequents with Travis Kelce.”
Ron DeSantis stopped by Fox News on Wednesday night where the Florida governor attempted to shake off criticisms that he’s a weird dude who doesn’t know how to act around other humans. The moment of levity came at the end of his interview with Sean Hannity when DeSantis started lobbing a football into the crowd like people sometimes do.
Oddly, DeSantis came off the most normal looking while Hannity delivered one of the strangest transitions to Tulsi Gabbard. We honestly have no idea what the heck the Fox News host is saying here:
While DeSantis may have looked like a normal, all-American guy who loves him some sportsball, his humanity was not on full display earlier in the interview when he once again trotted out his tough guy act and vowed to leave anyone bringing drugs across the border “stone cold dead.”

DeSantis trotted out a similar line while talking to CBS News earlier in the day. The governor promised to deploy the U.S. military to the border, but don’t worry, they won’t be shooting women with babies. Anyone wearing a backpack, well…
‘If there’s a woman with a baby, they’re not a cartel member,’ DeSantis acknowledged. ‘There’s not going to be authorization to just shoot somebody like that.’
He added: ‘But when somebody’s got a backpack on, and they’re breaking through the wall, you know that that’s hostile intent and you have every right to take action under those circumstances.’
While sanctioning extrajudicial killings sounds pretty bad, the important thing is that Ron DeSantis knows how to throw a football. That’s really what elections are all about, are they not?
Alleged phantom fart dropper Whoopi Goldberg has recovered from her Covid stint, and thank god that someone is here to distract us from Matthew McConaughey’s foot rubs for Joy Behar. The needle-dropping moments of this show still exist, though, and this particular one might remind you of a certain tweet from Stephen A. Smith.
Btw….forgot to inform everyone I’ve been asked to Co-Host “The View” once again. I’m co-hosting with Whoops Goldberg on July 15th.
“Whoops” feels accurate here. The panel discussed Mitt Romney’s decision to take his salmon-ketchup sandwiches and head into the sunset, and then (completely out of the blue) Whoops looked over at Alyssa Farah Griffin and point-blank asked, “Are you pregnant?” Naturally, that led to this reaction.
ABC
Alyssa quickly denied being with child: “No! Oh my god.” She added, “You can’t say that when my mother-in-law is here, who’s been dying for me to get pregnant!” Whoopi didn’t appear to want to sink into a hole like most people do when they make the mistake of asking that question. Instead, Whoopi asserted, “I just got a vibe.” And later: “Forgive me, you have this… I see a glow.” Watch it happen after the 2:30 mark below.
MITT ROMNEY WILL NOT SEEK SECOND TERM: After the senator announced he will not seek a second Senate term, #TheView co-hosts weigh in on him saying it’s “time for a new generation of leaders.” https://t.co/cVclFZQmjApic.twitter.com/CRPGvxJykg
Alyssa, meanwhile, did what many women do and wondered if “my tummy” was the cause of the question. The former White House Director of Strategic Comms also revealed that she is open to having a child, but it’s not happening at the moment. One strike for Whoops.
Those are three of the 10 tracks on Lovato’s Revamped, an album that finds them “breathing new life into the songs that played such a huge role in my career,” as they wrote on Instagram when announcing the project. Revamped is due out on Friday, September 15. In addition to the MTV VMAs, Lovato celebrated their release week by visiting The Howard Stern Show on Monday, September 11.
Stern asked Lovato if “Cool For The Summer” captured their experience of falling in love with a woman, and Lovato confirmed they’d written it “before I came out as bisexual, at the time.” Lovato added that their stepfather already had a hunch about their sexuality before officially coming out because of “Cool For The Summer.”
Later, Lovato said they did not tell the woman at the center of “Cool For The Summer” that it was written about her and doesn’t believe that she ever found out, even though the song dropped in 2015.
“Sometimes, I write songs, and I just leave them — let them be,” Lovato said. When Stern asked whether the woman is famous, Lovato giggled and quipped, “What if she is?”
That further piqued Stern’s interest, pressing, “Is she?” Lovato confirmed that it is about a famous woman, whom they were secretly involved with, but they will never privately tell the woman or explicitly identify her publicly because “I’m in a relationship now, and I feel like that would be inappropriate.”
Watch the full clip above and watch Lovato’s 2023 MTV VMAs performance below.
Revamped is out 9/15 via Island. Find more information here.
Have you ever seen something in a movie or online and thought, “That’s totally fake,” only to find out it’s absolutely a real thing? That’s sort of how this house in Pennsylvania comes across. It just seems too fantastical to be real, and yet somehow it actually exists.
The home sits between Greencastle and Mercersburg, Pennsylvania, and houses a pretty unique public secret. There’s a cave in the basement. Not a man cave or a basement that makes you feel like you’re in a cave, but an actual cave that you can’t get to unless you go through the house.
Turns out the cave was discovered in the 1830s on the land of John Coffey, according to Uncovering PA, but the story of how it was found is unclear. People would climb down into the cave to explore occasionally until the land was leased about 100 years later and a small structure was built over the cave opening.
The idea was to make it accessible to visitors and use the cave as a tourist attraction, and the small structure was eventually built into a two-story house. But it was closed to the public in 1954 after the land was purchased for limestone mining and it remained closed for nearly 70 years. (In the words of Stephanie Tanner, “How rude.”) Sometime during that 70-year closure, the home that contains the cave was purchased by Dara Black, and in 2021, it reopened to the public.
Currently, the home is occupied by Black, but to gain access to the cave you can simply book a tour. The best part about booking a tour is that you only have to make a donation to enter. It’s a pay-what-you-can sort of setup, but since someone actually lives in the home, you can’t just pop in and ask for a tour. You have to go during the “open house” times available.
According to the Black-Coffey Caverns Facebook page, they treat the tours truly as an open house, complete with snacks and drinks. There’s a waiting room area where people can chat and eat their snacks while they wait for the tour to start. They also offer cave yoga once a month. According to Uncovering PA, the tour takes about 45 minutes to complete and there are about 3,000 feet worth of passageways.
Imagine living on top of a cave and just taking strangers on a waltz under your floorboards essentially. It makes me wonder if the house is quiet at night or if you can hear echoes of the cave sounds while you’re trying to sleep. From the Facebook page, it appears that the cave doesn’t have any lights, but there were pictures with some Christmas lights mounted to the cave walls. Otherwise, you have to use flashlights.
Hopefully, no mischievous children decide to play hide and seek or you just might have to call in a rescue crew. Literally. But what an unbelievable “pics or it didn’t happen” kind of story to tell. It’s not every day you run into someone that has a door that leads you to an underground cave.
If you want to see what a cave tour looks like starting from the outside of the house, check out the video below:
What’s her secret to staying fit? Mediation (and sweating out the stress in a sauna). “I really believe it is,” the Magic Mike’s Last Dance actress told Entertainment Tonight. “People say it’s exercising. I think it’s meditation. You have to find your way. For me, exercising is hard… It’s really, really difficult to have the discipline to do it. But meditation is a walk in the park, because it’s my own form of it.”
Hayek celebrated her 57th birthday earlier this month. “I’m so happy to be alive and so profoundly grateful for all the blessings!!!! My beloved family, my precious friends, my health, my work that keeps me going, my empowering team, my relationship with animals & nature, and the love of all my loyal fans. Happy 57th birthday to me!!!” she wrote on Instagram to mark the occasion, along with, you guessed it, a bikini photo.
The Eagles have toured for more than 50 years. The “Hotel California” band is currently on The Long Goodbye Final Tour to “give all our fans a chance to see us on this final round,” they explained in a statement on their website. Hopefully, audiences will have fun but not get too rowdy, like they did in June.
The setlist is important considering this is their last tour; they’ve got to fit in all the hits, whether that’s “Take It Easy” or “One of These Nights,” as well as deep-cuts that die-hards have always wanted to hear.
Check out their setlist from September 11 at Boston’s at TD Garden, according to setlist.fm.

Gomez attended the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards on Tuesday night, September 12, where she accepted Best Afrobeats alongside Rema for their ubiquitous “Calm Down” collaboration. While sitting next to Rema in the crowd, Gomez scrunched up her face in apparent disapproval when Chris Brown was announced as a nominee for Best R&B. Cameras caught her reaction, and people on the internet did the rest.
“I will never be a meme again,” Gomez wrote on her since-expired Instagram Story. “I’d rather sit still than be dragged for being myself. Much love.”
Selena Gomez vows to “never be a meme again” after she appeared to react to Chris Brown being nominated at the #VMAspic.twitter.com/HDuGnAFVO1
This is the second time this month that Gomez has watched a candid reaction of hers become fodder for strangers. For as famous as she is, as long as she’s been famous, and as many times as people have taken something about her and ran with it, I imagine it never stops being an uncomfortable experience, to say the least.
On September 3, Gomez was one one of several celebrities present at BMO Stadium for Lionel Messi’s first-ever Major League Soccer game in Los Angeles since signing with Inter Miami in July. Messi had his shot saved — the rarest of sights — and Gomez’s mouth dropped to the floor.
Last month, Cincinnati, Ohio hip-hop artist Speed Walton teamed up with Grammy-winning producer Sal Dali (also a Cincinnati native) on his new album Pearls. The producer, who contributed to the songs “Alien Superstar” and “Summer Renaissance” from Beyoncé’s latest album, shows off his range on the project, and today, Walton shares the video for another of Dali’s productions which shares a title with another Beyoncé song, “Beautiful Nightmare.”
In a press release for the song, Walton calls it his “inspired version of Common’s I Used To Love HER. But the love/passion is for music. The business aspect of it is typically unfair toward the artist, so indeed the love affair is a beautiful nightmare.” The song employs a sample of The Weeknd‘s House Of Balloons cut “The Party & The After Party,” creating a moody vibe that Speedy uses to unfold his paranoid story of falling in love with a business that doesn’t love him back.
For those unfamiliar with Walton, the ‘Nati native has been putting out albums both independently and under Capitol Records since 2009. Pearls, which was released on August 4, bears 13 tracks including “Beautiful Nightmare,” and features appearances from T.Nava and August Rose. You can watch the “Beautiful Nightmare” video above.
Each week our staff of film and TV experts surveys the entertainment landscape to select the ten best new/newish shows available for you to stream at home. We put a lot of thought into our selections, and our debates on what to include and what not to include can sometimes get a little heated and feelings may get hurt, but so be it, this is an important service for you, our readers. With that said, here are our selections for this week.
Fionna and Cake were introduced in a season three episode of the wonderful animated series Adventure Time, and became instant fan favorites. Now, the pair have their own spinoff show, Adventure Time: Fionna and Cake, which finds them on a multiverse-hopping journey towards self-discovery. It looks just as funny, existential, and clever as the original, just with a cat (Cake) instead of a dog (Jake). Whether that’s an improvement is up to you.
LaKeith Stanfield heads into the horror realm in this adaptation of Victor LaValle’s acclaimed novel. The show promises to be a grown-up fairytale begins in a New York City library and heads into a version of the Big Apple that usually remains closed from human eyes. It’s also a parenthood fable, and yes, it truly feels like the scariest horror stories often revolve around kids, whether they happen to be good or evil. Given Stanfield’s ability to showcase the surreal in various other projects, one can bet that this quality adds to the spooks in this series.
Solar Opposites is, in a sense, two shows for the price of one. What a deal! One show is the alien adventures of Korvo (now voiced by Dan Stevens), Terry, Jesse, Yumyulack, and the Pupa, the cutest lil’ guy on television. The other show takes place in The Wall, where humans have been shrunk down and held hostage inside a terrarium. Both are very funny, very weird, and very good. Solar Opposites doesn’t get as much attention as Rick and Morty, but it should.
The continuing saga of the Showtime-era of the NBA and the LA Lakers, well, continues, injecting a lot more Larry Bird into the mix while also seeing the impact of fame and failure on the principal characters of the era, inspiring strong performances from Jason Segel, Adrien Brody, Solomon Hughes, and Quincy Isaiah. Off-the-court and out of the trainer’s room, the complex family dynamic between the members of Buss family proves volatile, giving us Succession vibes. Damn, Succession in the mid-80s, what a dream. For now, though, Winning Time is a worthy substitute and more than worth your time.
Rosario Dawson is back as Ahsoka in this spinoff of The Mandalorian, with all the face paint and prosthetics to go along with it. The biggest question here, though, is whether everyone’s favorite little green guy will show up at some point to steal a few scenes and hearts. Fingers crossed.
It’s so easy to feel safe and secure with our place in the food chain (at least until AI turns our microwaves against us), but the reality is we wouldn’t fare very well out in the wilderness, shuffling around with true predators who use teeth, claws, brutal strength, and their understanding of the elements to wage daily wars on their rivals and competing species. The Tom Hardy-narrated Netflix docuseries, Predators, amplifies that truth with humbling clarity, spanning the globe to show stunning and startling footage of predators in their habitat and at their most territorial and fierce. It’s beautiful, it’s terrifying, it’s nature.
Two things you need to know here. One, this is a British television series starring Hugh Bonneville, which is a great start. Two, you really can’t do better than this from an official description standpoint: “Inspired by the Brink’s Mat robbery of 1983 where a gang unexpectedly stole £26m in gold bullion, kicking off decades of investigation, corruption, arrests and murder as the police tried to identify the criminals and recover the gold.” Yes, this will do nicely.
This intense story, set over several continents, brings us crop circles galore and civilization’s collapse while humanity struggles to pull it together during (as the title suggests) an alien invasion. Naturally, there is a sheriff who gets pulled back from the verge of retirement as soldiers, mission controllers, and civilians everywhere lend their perspectives in this series from Simon Kinberg (several X-Men movies) and David Weil (Citadel, Hunters). The show is back for a second season while the world still struggles to figure what, exactly, is happening in real-time.
FX’s sweet, celebrity-glazed sports docuseries about the historic soccer (sorry football) club that could is back and making a case for why it could be the comfort-binge of the Fall. All of the ingredients that made its first installment so damn charming are still there: a hopeful Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney are still fretting over their investment in a slightly-less-doomed Wrexham FC, the club’s manager is still tossing out F-bombs a mile a minute, the humble, dedicated township are cautiously optimistic about their side’s brightening future, and a player named Paul Mullin is scoring more goals than once believed humanly possible. But when you add in royal visits and heartbreaking rejections, million-pound renovations, and unbelievable overtime comebacks it raises the stakes yet again, making us and the fans believe that anything — even a coveted promotion in the English League — is possible. Ted Lasso, eat your heart out.
Whaddya know, Damian Lewis’ Bobby Axelrod is somehow back for one last *cough* job. Whether that job involves leaning deep into betrayal remains unknown for the moment, but expect alliances to fall and old wounds to fester. Enemies and friends find their lines blurred, and man, do enough people give Maggie Siff credit for being one of the most magnetic presences within any ensemble cast? I think not, but sure, Corey Still and Paul Giamatti are cool, too. Once this show takes the final lap, Showtime will somehow launch four spinoffs, and Maggie should appear in all of them.
Heartstopper is really just a lovely little show. The first season introduced us all to Charlie and Nick, two teenage boys who became friends and then discovered that friendship might actually be… something… more than friendship. Season two takes things even further. It’s funny and sweet and charming and gay as all hell, which is… yeah, really just lovely.
The world has been trying to leave Sterling Archer behind for years and years with hilarious results as the spy and his associates have navigated land, sea, and air (and space), often stumbling into calamity while chasing adventure. But now, in its 14th season, the series, with all its ambition and wit, has reached its climax (yes, we are still doing phrasing) and we are here for it, specifically, the final bows of one of the greatest voice casts ever assembled. How will it all end? We can’t wait to find out, but regardless, Archer’s place as one of the best comedies of this century is assured.
Even though there’s been a lot of upheaval at HBO Max/Max and even more so for films and TV shows starring DC characters, at least one supervillainess is safe. Miss Harley (who does not need the Joker for success) was almost pointedly renewed as a clattering of show cancellations and removals swirled. Heck, Kaley Cuoco’s voice even gave us the only Valentine’s Day special worth watching this year. Soon, we might find out whether Bane is still making love to a skyscraper as Harley attempts to get in good with the Bat Family. Quite a contrast there.
The only “solo” spinoff of AMC’s post-apocalyptic world is upon us. Daryl is most entertaining character to send to France, and he’s also the least religious of the bunch, which makes it awfully funny to see him hanging with a bunch of nuns after waking up in France like “WTF?” Most of all, though, Daryl earns his “Big Ass Kicker” nickname and we also get a lovely character study of the most loyal and industrious survivor of Rick’s old bunch. The action also delivers, so get ready for crossbows and total chaos at Parisian landmarks. Pssst, we also chose the most essential to watch before this spinoff.
The official description of this movie reads as follows: “Two strangers connect on a flight to London, only to be separated by a twist of fate. A reunion seems improbable — but love has a way of defying the odds.” Is this the most original story ever committed to film? Well, no. Should this movie have been titled Love at First Flight? Probably. But could you do a love worst than a sweet little meet-cute starring Haley Lu Richardson from The White Lotus? Definitely. Lots to consider here.
5. You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah (Netflix)
Netflix
A coming-of-age comedy from the Sandman (Adam Sandler) and company, You Are So Not Invited To My Bat Mitzvah glimpses that time in life when everything is the most important thing that could ever happen with dire social consequences for every micro-embarrassment and misstep. A bat mitzvah (the religious right of passage for Jewish girls) absent Dua Lipa and a mojito bar? World ending. Your best friend moving in on your crush? Even worse. Sandler is in a clear supporting dad role (with Idina Menzel co-starring as his wife) while the kids take center stage, but this one feels like it can go on the shelf next to some of the more heartful films he’s produced.
What we have here is a live-action adaptation of a legendary Japanese manga series about a young pirate and his friends out on the open seas in search of some treasure. It’s been burning up the Netflix charts since its release, and it’s been touted as a feel-good celebration of the innocence of childhood adventure, which, all things considered, does not sound like the worst way to spend a weekend binge. Get in there now before the second season drops.
Seriously, watch this trailer. This is not a fluffy little comedy. Rashida Jones executive produces this adaptation of Zakiya Dalila Harris’ NYT best-selling novel about an editorial assistant is who is overjoyed to no longer be the “only Black girl” at her work place. However, the novelty of newcomer Hazel quickly fades when it becomes apparent that sinister vibes are going down. Spooooky.
Is The Morning Show the best drama on TV in a world absent Better Call Saul and Succession? It might be in the running, but it’s definitely the dramaest drama on TV, leaning on its star power to cut through moments that might be eye-roll-inducing if you weren’t so captivated by the screen presence of Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Billy Crudup, and Jon Hamm, who joins this season as a handsome version of Elon Musk. Backstabbing, front-stabbing, walk and talks, politics, high tension, and ripped-from-the-headlines storylines all come together, yet again, with our news and media power players moving more fully toward the game of mergers, acquisitions, and boardroom battles where the real prizes can be found.
The thing about Reservation Dogs is that it is a good show. It has been for a few seasons now. And it still is in its third and final season, which is airing right now. Funny and heartfelt and everything you could possibly want out of a television show about some teens figuring stuff out. There’s a lot of weird stuff going on out there in the world. Some of it is kind of scary. Maybe you should chill out and watch Reservation Dogs. You could absolutely do much, much worse.
