TAYLOR ON THE MIND
New Heights / Wave Sports + Entertainment

Travis Kelce just pulled off a Taylor Swift impression, crooning part of the chorus of one the pop star's biggest hits -- and ... it wasn't awful!!

The Kansas City Chiefs star belted out "Bad Blood" on this week's episode of his "New Heights" podcast ... when he and his big bro, Jason, were talking about the Eagles' recent addition of Kenny Pickett.

Jason told the audience his former team acquired the quarterback in a trade with the Steelers ... before Travis jumped in to explain Pittsburgh simply had to make the move because the former first-round pick was upset over the recent addition of Russell Wilson.

"Kenny and the Steelers," he said, "their relationship ended in a little baaaaaaad bloooood!"

"Because," Travis continued, "Kenny is saying he preferred to move on."

Jason let the tune go without further reaction -- and the two didn't make reference to Travis' girlfriend again during the episode.

Travis, though, did talk about a night out in L.A. that he had sans Swift last week -- raving to Jason about the Justin Timberlake show he attended.

Travis gushed about the "Suit & Tie" singer's concert -- calling it a "fun evening" while urging all of his fans to buy JT's new album.

'VPR' Star Scheana Shay Suggests She Had Orgy w/ John Mayer

DROPPIN' HINTS
Bravo

Scheana Shay seems to be suggesting she banged John Mayer -- but more than just that ... there appears to have been other people in the bedroom too.

The "Vanderpump Rules" star made the confession during Tuesday's episode ... where she shared during a game of "Never Have I Ever" that she partook in an orgy long before meeting husband Brock Davies.

In a confessional for 'VPR,' SS elaborated a bit more ... confirming her orgy partner was an A-list celeb. She then dropped a not-so-subtle clue hinting at John's identity ... as she said her body was a wonderland at the time.

This isn't the first time Scheana has spilled on her past fling with John -- who is notably BFFs with Bravo bigwig Andy Cohen. Remember, Scheana shared on the "Flashbacks" podcast in 2020 that she first met John when he was still dating Jennifer Aniston.

Apparently, the trio partied together at a bash in Beverly Hills ... but nothing intimate happened then. After John and Jen called it quits, as the story goes, the singer called up Scheana ... who said she ended up in a throuple with John and "Hills" vet Stacie Adams (AKA the girl who stirred the pot in Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag's relationship).

The romance lasted only six months, as Scheana claimed she bounced from the throuple after struggling with jealousy. Though Scheana and Stacie's friendship made it through the drama -- Stacie notably served as a bridesmaid in Scheana's first wedding to ex Mike Shay.

Fans are already clamoring for Andy to have John on "Watch What Happens Live" to tell his side of the orgy story. And, FWIW ... we too would like to know more!

ANNE HATHAWAY SHUTS DOWN HARRY & OLIVIA THEORY ... Didn't Inspire My Rom-Com!

Anne Hathaway's new rom-com has a lot of the same elements as Olivia Wilde and Harry Styles' one-time real relationship -- but AH says there's no connection there whatsoever.

The actress' latest movie, "The Idea of You," is all about a 40-year-old single mom -- played by Anne -- who gets into a steamy romance with a super young 24-year-old boy band singer, played by Nicholas Galitzine ... which is why folks think OW and HS are the inspiration.

As you know ... Olivia was also a single mom when she hooked up with Harry a couple years back -- and that's why people believe Anne and co. took their story to Amazon Prime.

Unfortunately for everyone who was hoping for this to be true ... Anne shut it down explicitly in a recent interview with Extra this week while promoting the film.

When asked explicitly about the Olivia and Harry theory, AH replied. "No, just no." Instead, Anne says the movie's all about her character pulling out all the stops to bounce back from heartbreak after her ex-husband leaves her in pieces ... so, more generic than anything.

There might be some parallels ... but it's not anything Anne and co. looked to for reference, despite what some might think.

But back to Anne ... she's saying her new role was perfect for her to sink into at this point in her career -- even though some have suggested she's, perhaps, above it. Anne says she just wanted to have some fun, and it looks like she's doing that for this movie.

Keanu Reeves Steps Out With Short Hair!!! First Time in Years

Keanu Reeves is ditching his signature long locks for a drastically shorter 'do ... all for a new movie role.

The actor stepped out on the set of his new feature film, "Outcome," and debuted the shortest cut we've seen on him in years.

While the role clearly required the action star to trim his lengthy hair, the 59-year-old A-lister was allowed to keep his trademark beard, which he's sported for a while.

Keanu's hair has gotten progressively longer across the first 4 'John Wick' movies -- but his beard has stayed the same for the most part. So, we wonder what this means for the next 'John Wick' installment.

However, Keanu was photographed just last month still rocking his longer hairstyle -- so the snip must have happened in the last few weeks.

In fact, Keanu had noticeably shorter hair in a photo he posed for with girlfriend Alexandra Grant, Rob Lowe, and Sheryl Lowe ... which was posted last week, so the cut may be super fresh.

FWIW, the new look is most excellent.

Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.

In addition to sporting the new 'do, Keanu was photographed wearing classic denim blue jeans, a white shirt and a tan jacket for the Jonah Hill-directed feature.

For those curious about the new flick, "Outcome" features Keanu playing a fictional Hollywood star tasked with coming to terms with his past when he's extorted over a resurfaced clip.

Cameron Diaz, who returned to acting last year after a 10-year hiatus, is also starring in the project.

Between Keanu's hair transformation and the return of Cameron, there's a lot to look forward to with this movie.

Josh Peck Flooded w/ Comments ... Over Silence on Drake Bell Abuse

032024_josh_peck_kal
ignoring the doc

Josh Peck seems to be taking a head-in-the-sand approach to everything coming out from 'Quiet on Set' -- including Drake Bell's abuse story -- and his fans are taking notice.

The ex-child star posted a new video on social media this week -- this after the explosive doc about Nickelodeon aired -- and JP doesn't seem willing to address the elephant in the room ... 'cause he's just doing silly TikToks without talking about what's on everyone's mind.

The clip features Josh lip-syncing to some goofy audio ... relatively meaningless considering his one-time peers are speaking out, and people are pissed that he's choosing to ignore it.

Check out his comment section in this post -- as well as other recent TikToks of his -- and you'll see exactly what we mean ... hundreds of people are slamming him for remaining silent on the doc and acting like nothing's going on, calling on him to say something.

One person wrote, "your silence is LOUD brother" ... and another added, "*sigh* Josh you disappointed us" ... and yet another digitally shouted, "JUSTICE FOR DRAKEEEE."

Like we said, Josh hasn't uttered one word about the documentary or Drake -- but considering their recently rocky past, including a very clear falling out, perhaps it's not surprising that Josh isn't running to support his old costar during this difficult time.

If you're unfamiliar, Drake and Josh have NOT been close at all of late -- and their apparent feud bubbled up when Josh get married several years ago ... a wedding to which Drake wasn't invited, and which he was very upset about at the time, making gripes quite publicly.

There was a lot of back and forth over this, and in the end -- Josh made clear that him and Drake simply hadn't stayed in touch after their show ... in other words, they're not friends.

They had a sweet reunion at the 2017 VMAs -- but even after that, there seemed to be bad blood ... so on its face, it's somewhat understandable that Josh is looking the other way.

Still, many feel like he should talk about this regardless -- because the issues being spotlighted on 'Quiet on Set' are obviously bigger than any petty beef they might have.

We've tried reaching Josh ourselves for comment ... but haven't had any luck.

Ex-NHLer Chris Simon Died By Suicide ... Family Believes He Suffered From CTE

Ex-NHL player Chris Simon's family is revealing the tragic details surrounding his sudden passing ... confirming the 52-year-old took his own life, and they believe it was the result of CTE.

The former enforcer's loved ones released a statement via his former agent Paul Theofanous on Wednesday ... saying they saw Simon show strong signs of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, a brain disease caused from concussions and traumatic head injuries.

"The family strongly believes and witnessed firsthand, that Chris struggled immensely from CTE which unfortunately resulted in his death," the statement read.

"We are grieving with the loss of our son, brother, father, partner, teammate and friend," the family continued. "The entire Wawa community is sharing in our grief. We will not be releasing any further details at this time and ask for privacy during this very difficult time. We appreciate everyone who shares in our tragic loss."

As we previously reported, the hockey community was devastated by the news ... and an outpour of tributes came out in honor of the 15-year NHL vet.

The NHL Alumni Association addressed the loss ... saying, "Chris was never afraid to stand up for his teammates, and played a key role in the dressing room. He was a beloved friend, father, brother, and son."

Chris won a Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche in 1996 ... and played for several other teams, including the Washington Capitals, Chicago Blackhawks, Calgary Flames and New York Islanders.

Richard Simmons Reveals Old Skin Cancer Diagnosis ... Get Spots Checked Out!!!

UPDATE

12:59 PM PT -- Once again, Richard Simmons is clarifying an alarming post regarding his health ... Wednesday afternoon he said the skin cancer incident "happened so many years ago," and he was only mentioning it to implore folks to have a doctor check out any spots or skin abnormalities.

UPDATE

Richard says they were able to fully remove his cancerous growth. As for causing the panic among his fans, he says ... "I guess I should be more careful about what I write about."

Richard Simmons is sparking concern for his well-being once again ... this time announcing he's been diagnosed with cancer.

The fitness guru says he got the skin cancer diagnosis after a recent visit to the dermatologist -- an appointment he made when he noticed a strange bump under his right eye that wouldn't go away.

Richard said Tuesday, in a Facebook post, his doctor removed the blemish, examined it and came back with a basal cell carcinoma diagnosis -- the most common form of skin cancer.

As the 75-year-old detailed it ... he was referred to a specialist, who did a procedure that involved burning his skin twice -- so all the cancer could be removed.

This is the second time Richard has sparked concern for his health this week. Remember, a couple days ago, he announced on Facebook that he was dying.

After countless fans posted messages of love and concern, Richard clarified he wasn't actually dying -- anymore than the rest of us -- and he apologized for causing any confusion.

He explained ... "Sorry many of you have gotten upset about my message today ... I am not dying. It was a message about saying how we should embrace every day that we have."

Richard has been interacting with his fans quite a bit in recent months -- quite a turnaround, considering he completely disappeared from the public back in 2014.

That fueled years of rumors about his well-being ... until 2022, when we dropped "TMZ Investigates: What Really Happened to Richard Simmons," detailing the real reasons he's pulled back from his adoring fans.

Most recently, he's also been posting a lot about Pauly Shore's planned biopic about his life -- a project Richard's not down with, but Pauly insists he's moving forward.

As for Richard's cancer diagnosis ... he says the doctor wasn't able to remove all the cancer, and he'll be going back for another round of treatment.

PRINCE HARRY, MEGHAN MARKLE Friend Fuels Kate Conspiracies ... Looks Like a Stunt Double!!!

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's close pal Christopher Bouzy is diving headfirst into the the Kate Middleton saga ... and he's clearly with the conspiracy theory crowd on this.

In an X post Tuesday, the NYC tech CEO -- who appeared on the couple's Netflix doc as a talking head -- says the video of the Princess of Wales at the Windsor farm shop last weekend definitely doesn't look like the real Kate, in his eyes anyway.

In fact, in another tweet of is -- he goes so far as to claim that the woman seen walking in our clip might actually be a stunt double. He also posted a mash-up of videos showing her walking with Prince William in the past to back up his theory.

Chris wrote, "I've compiled a few older videos of William and Kate walking together, as well as the recent video from Windsor Farm. Take a look and decide for yourself if it's Kate or not. In my opinion, we still haven't seen Kate in public."

There's more ... a quick scroll through CB's X page shows that he seems pretty fixated on his theory that the recent Kate sighting was a doppelgänger situation -- totally leaning into it.

He's also tried analyzing footage of Kate strutting in heels versus flat shoes ... saying based on the strides he can see from old clips, he seems sure Kate wasn't at the Windsor Farm Shop last weekend.

As you know, everyone's been speculating about Kate whereabouts since she hadn't been seen since she was hospitalized back in January for an abdominal surgery.

She was off the radar for so long that folks started tossing around all sorts of theories about where the Princess could be ... and a lot of wild suggestions have been floated.

Things really hit the fan when she was spotted in Windsor -- as seen in our excusive video -- but Bouzy's among those who isn't buying the footage, saying the way Kate was moving so briskly while holding a bag ain't in line with someone advised to take it easy after surgery.

FYI ... Bouzy's no stranger to throwing shade at Kate and Will, having previously tweeted they were aging in "banana years." In comparison, he's always had Harry and Meg's backs ... defending them from the trolls, saying they shouldn't have to deal with that nonsense.

The tech entrepreneur spoke on Meg and Harry's behalf during their doc -- speaking to data and analytics about the type of harassment they were experiencing online amid Megxit.

Donald Trump Kate's Edited Photo Really NBD ... It's Common in Showbiz!!!

EVERYBODY DOES IT!

Kate Middleton has been getting dragged through the coals over an edited picture of herself and her kids -- but Donald Trump is coming to her defense ... saying she deserves a break.

The ex-Prez spoke up on behalf of the Princess of Wales this week in an interview with GB News -- where DT was asked about the failed Photoshop job that Kate and/or Kensington Palace attempted to pass off as an authentic picture for Mother's Day.

The broadcaster Trump was speaking with, Nigel Farage, suggested he didn't think it was that a big deal and that Kate would bounce back from the scandal -- and The Donald agreed.

He says he doesn't understand what all the fuss is about, especially since doctoring photos and images is somewhat commonplace in Hollywood -- at least that's what Trump thinks anyway. He makes the point that movie stars never quite look like how they're presented.

Granted ... Kate herself isn't so much a Hollywood figure, per se, but his point is well-taken.

In his eyes, a little editing here and there is something just about everyone does -- and he seems to think the public should cut her some slack here. Trump also acknowledges Kate is going through a hard time right now ... but doesn't appear to elaborate beyond that.

We broke the story ... Kate surfaced in public again this past weekend near her home in Windsor, where she was on her own two feet, walking side by side next to Prince William.

Of course, not everyone believes that was actually her ... but, what else is new, right?

Shohei Ohtani Target Of Fake Bomb Threat Ahead Of Dodgers' Opener

Shohei Ohtani had a much more stressful leadup to his Dodgers' debut Wednesday than anyone could have imagined -- he was reportedly the target of a pregame bomb threat ... although, thankfully, it all turned out to be fake.

According to the Yonhap News Agency, just prior to L.A.'s season-opening matchup against the San Diego Padres in Seoul, someone had sent a menacing email to local authorities.

The outlet reported that in the note, the person claimed they were going to detonate a bomb at the Gocheok Sky Dome ... specifically looking to harm Ohtani and others.

Fortunately, however, it was deemed to be a non-credible threat.

The MLB said in a statement they were investigating the matter -- calling "the safety and security of our fans and everyone in the ballparks where we play" their top priority -- but continued with the game nonetheless.

So far, there's been no issues whatsoever with the contest -- in the top of the ninth inning, the Dodgers lead, 5-2.

Ohtani, meanwhile, is clearly feeling no effects from the scare ... he's 2-for-5 on the night with an RBI and a stolen base.

The Dodgers arrived in Korea last week and played a couple exhibition games before taking on the Pads in the season opener.

The two teams will play one more game Thursday night -- before they return the United States for a couple more spring training games ahead of the official start of the MLB season next week.

Kanye West & Bianca Censori Enjoy More X-Rated Public Displays

It was business as usual Tuesday for Kanye West ... as he paraded around his sexy, half-naked wife, Bianca Censori, for all of Los Angeles to see.

Ye's latest eye-popping outing with Bianca was, of course, filmed by the paparazzi in West Hollywood as the couple hit up an ice cream shop and tanning salon, while making some other pit stops.

As usual, Bianca was barely covered in her tight silver miniskirt, bikini top and thong panties exposing her butt cheeks. Interestingly, Bianca looked like the spitting image of Kim Kardashian in photos taken of the reality star in a sliver bikini back in 2018. As you know, Kim and Kanye settled their divorce in 2022 after nearly 7 years of marriage.

Kanye, by contrast, was fully clothed in a long black-sleeved shirt and pants while having his fun in the sun with Bianca, who eventually cooled off with a big ice cream cone.

Just check out all the photos obtained by TMZ ... they tell the whole story.

As we've reported ... this is nothing new for Kanye and Bianca. They've been making waves around the world with Bianca's X-rated public displays. And Kanye is clearly down with it all.

We'll have to wait and see what tomorrow brings.

Kyle Richards & Mauricio Umansky FRIENDS SAY NO CHANCE OF RECONCILING ... Dragging It Out For TV!!

Kyle Richards and Mauricio Umansky's marriage is beyond repair -- that's what close family and friends are saying about any hopes the estranged couple can still work things out ... TMZ has learned.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ the pair's relationship has reached the point of no return, and if they were to suddenly patch things up, those closest to them would be utterly flabbergasted.

We're told some folks close to the estranged couple believe they're dragging out their relationship plight for the sake of reality show cameras -- a belief that gains traction with the upcoming season of Mauricio's Netflix show, "Buying Beverly Hills," which promises to address their split as a main storyline.

What's really interesting is ... no one we've spoken to is knocking them for dragging it out 'cause they've always been savvy hustlers in the Hollywood biz -- so people around them think it's a smart move to exploit their personal struggles for professional gain, as long as they're both okay with it.

Our sources believe they don't have any real reason to rush to file for divorce as they have multiple homes they can bounce between if things get tense under one roof. At the end of the day, we're told they're always gonna remain close 'cause of their history together, and obviously for sake of their kids.

Goes without saying, the former couple's separation has played out for a while now .. especially 'cause they've been talking about it a lot, but not really getting to the heart of the matter, if you catch our drift.

Kate Middleton Medical Records Almost Breached By Hospital Staff: Report

Somebody at the hospital where Kate Middleton was being treated earlier this year allegedly tried to sneak a peek at her medical records, but got caught -- this per a new report.

The Mirror dropped this bombshell Tuesday, claiming they've been told that at least one staffer at the London Clinic had attempted to access Kate's personal file -- presumably to see what was actually wrong with her -- but the outlet says they were intercepted in the act.

There's not much more detail in terms of how exactly this unfolded, or what happened to the worker who allegedly did this ... not to mention who saw them and put a stop to it.

In any case, the Mirror says an internal investigation has been launched at the London Clinic -- and they claim top brass at the hospital contacted Kensington Palace once they became alerted to the attempted security breach, and promised they'd get to the bottom of it.

The Mirror also reports that other workers there are shocked and shaken up by this -- as the London Clinic is a well-respected and usually honorable medical establishment that treats high-profile people ... including members of the Royal family at large.

The London Clinic told The Mirror, "We firmly believe that all our patients, no matter their status, deserve total privacy and confidentiality regarding their medical information."

No word on whether this has been reported to cops either -- but from the sounds of it, it hasn't. The Metropolitan Police in London tells us ... "We can’t provide anything on this, as we need to know if the London Clinic have reported it to us and, if so, when."

Remember, this is the same hospital Prince William was seen leaving in January -- shortly after Kate was hospitalized to undergo an abdominal surgery ... for a mysterious ailment.

There was a lot of questions about her health/condition then -- but not nearly as much as there is now considering she's been MIA for months ... only just surfacing again Saturday.

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

That's why it's shocking to hear this, assuming it's true. On its face, it seems at least one staffer was gravely curious to see what was up with Kate ... risking their job and reputation to steal a glance at her chart at the time, when most everyone was content to leave her be.

Of course, a lot has happened since Kate left this hospital -- including lots of conspiracy theories on her health and whereabouts, which have reached peak levels of absurdity.

Kensington Palace, of course, has been fairly mum over just about all of it. We've reached out to the London Clinic and the Palace on this new story ... so far, no word back yet.

The saga continues ...

Jake Gyllenhaal Dazzles With Conor McGregor At 'Road house' Premiere

Jake Gyllenhaal was the man of the moment at the NYC premiere of his new movie, "Road House," posing for a slew of photos with his costar – none other than UFC Legend Conor McGregor!

Jake first hit the red carpet with his model girlfriend Jeanne Cadieu at Manhattan's Lincoln Center Tuesday night -- and the two were total knockouts. The actor looked super spiffy in his black suit and tie while Jeanne was the epitome of glamour in her long dark dress.

A bunch of shutterbugs snapped pictures of the smiling couple surrounded by shimmering powder blue neon signs that read, "Road House."

At one point, the couple was joined by Jake's parents, Stephen and Naomi, and all four mugged for the cameras.

But the real treat was when Conor popped up and shared the floor with Jake for their little photo shoot. The costars stood side by side, shaking hands, putting up their dukes and laughing and joking with one another.

Afterward, everyone went inside the theater to enjoy the film, which was a remake of the famous 1989 bar fight drama starring the late Patrick Swayze, who died of pancreatic cancer in 2009.

Jake took on Swayze's iconic role of tough guy protagonist Elwood Dalton while Conor played the villainous hired muscle named Knox. Post Malone also had a cameo as a character called Carter.

Sounds like this reboot packs one helluva punch!

Steve Wynn Stern Warning Over New Film Project ... Be Honest or Else!!!

Steve Wynn isn't hedging any bets when it comes to a just-announced film project about his life ... as he's hit producers with a stern message about their potential portrayal of him.

We've seen a copy of a letter issued to producers Scott Jay Kaplan, Emmet McDermott and author Christina Binkley after the industry vets optioned the rights to CB's book, 'Winner Takes All' -- which details Steve's rise and fall as a casino bigwig -- for a dramatic retelling.

The letter was sent from powerhouse attorney Patricia L. Glaser on behalf of Steve ... and it makes clear that the Sin City businessman won't tolerate creative liberties taken in any big or small dramatization of his life -- including what Kaplan and McDermott are working on.

The billionaire's legal team explicitly expressed their concern for the project ... citing what they allege is the author's "history of false statements and mischaracterizations regarding [Steve]" -- referencing the source material that'll serve as the inspiration for this project of theirs.

While Steve didn't threaten to put the kibosh on the movie here in this letter his attorney fired off -- not that he had any real right to stall the project -- he does demand, via Glaser, that Scott and Emmet verify every fact presented in the story and ensure that their sources are fully vetted. Translation ... no stone should be left unturned when it comes to research!

And it's pretty obvious that Steve means business here -- as the letter threatened legal action over any falsehoods that may be presented.

Even though it's clear that Steve has never been a fan of his depiction in 'Winner Takes All' ...  it doesn't appear he ever sued over the book in the 16 years since it's been published.

The book found itself on the NYT Best Seller List after chronicling the meteoric rise of Wynn -- who was forced to step down from Wynn Resorts amid sexual misconduct allegations ... claims he's denied, for which he's never been charged with a crime.

As for how Scott and Emmet feel about the stern letter ... sources tell us that they're already casting -- if that's any indication of how they're approaching the warning shot.

Braxton Berrios and Alix Earle don't appear to be close to tying the knot anytime soon ... but the Dolphins wide receiver certainly ain't ruling out the possibility of future nuptials!!

We got the "it couple" out in Los Angeles this week ... and as they looked smitten walking through city streets -- we just had to ask Braxton if an engagement was on the horizon.

The football player laughed -- but when Earle jokingly prodded him to answer the question ... he didn't say no!!

Berrios then added that he and Earle are happy together ... and things are "going well."

Berrios and Earle have only been dating for around a year -- but the two have been inseparable since making things official.

Berrios has been seen in a myriad of her TikToks -- while the social media star has attended a few of his NFL games at Hard Rock Stadium.

In fact, they've grown so close, they each got matching pendants to memorialize their "Panda" nicknames back in February.

Waiting for your permission to load TikTok Post.

So, no Save The Dates have been sent out just yet ... but if the two keep continuing down this path -- it might be time to start checking mailboxes soon!
