Tyreek Hill, Keeta Vaccaro Pack On PDA At NFL Honors ... After Divorce Case Dropped
Tyreek Hill and Keeta Vaccaro have clearly put their divorce case drama in the past ... the two packed on the PDA on their way to NFL Honors on Thursday -- looking more in love than ever.
Of course, the relationship looked like it was coming to an end just a couple weeks ago ... after Hill submitted a petition for the dissolution of his marriage in Broward County.
But, the Miami Dolphins wideout said it was all filed in error ... and, eventually, the case was dismissed earlier this week.
Now, the couple is putting on quite the united front, getting cozy before, during, and after the NFL's annual awards ceremony in Vegas.
The two shared a kiss in a car -- before Hill got a little bit handsy during a dance backstage. They also shared an embrace at the event's red carpet -- documenting it all on their Instagram pages.
"NFL honors with the wife," Hill said in a caption recapping the event.
The Dolphins star didn’t come away with any NFL hardware at the show ... but it sure looks like he and his wife went home happy nonetheless!

Brad Pitt "Hangover" me hizo creer en Bradley ... Le da un premio a Cooper
Brad Pitt sabía que Bradley Cooper iba a ser una estrella, no por las actuaciones que le valieron nominaciones al Oscar, sino que por un papel más cómico.
El actor de 60 años subió al escenario del Festival Internacional de Cine de Santa Bárbara el jueves para darle a su compadre de 49 años el Premio al Mejor Intérprete del Año por su papel de Leonard Bernstein en "Maestro", una película que también dirigió y co-escribió.
Fue un gran honor para el evento y le dio a Brad Pitt la oportunidad de hablar sobre el trabajo de Cooper en el tiempo, incluyendo el momento en que supo que iba a ser grande.
Por cierto, "Maestro" es la quinta actuación por la que Cooper recibe una nominación al Premio de la Academia, pero Pitt no hizo alusión a ninguna de esas actuaciones, en su lugar se deshizo en elogios por su papel en "The Hangover".
Pitt señaló las sutiles complejidades de la actuación de Cooper y cómo el actor mejoró la película desde el lado de la pantalla en un sentido. ¡Bastante impresionante para una película cuyo uno de sus personajes principales es un tigre!
El ganador del Oscar no solo habló de "The Hangover". También se refirió a la actuación de Cooper en "A Star is Born" y su rol de director, señalando cómo Bradley logró de alguna manera equilibrar sus escenas emocionales bebiendo con su capacidad para tener un ojo en el equipo y asegurarse de que estaba recibiendo la toma perfecta.
Brad añadió: "Hacer eso muy, muy bien es poco menos que perfecto".
Esperemos que la Academia piense lo mismo. Cooper es candidato a Mejor Actor por su papel en "Maestro" en los Oscar de este año.
Y si no logra ningún premio, Bradley siempre puede pensar en hacer "The Hangover Part IV", ¡parece que a Brad le encantaría!
Brad Pitt 'Hangover' Made Me Believe in Bradley ... Gives Cooper Award
Brad Pitt knew Bradley Cooper was gonna be a star ... not because of his Oscar-nominated performances -- but because of a more comedic role.
The 60-year-old actor hit the stage at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival Thursday to give his 49-year-old compadre the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award for his part as Leonard Bernstein in "Maestro" -- a movie he also directed and co-wrote.
It's a top honor at the event ... and it gave BP the opportunity to talk about Cooper's work through the years -- including the moment he knew BC was gonna be big.
"Maestro" is the fifth performance for which Cooper received an acting Academy Award nod BTW ... but Pitt didn't point to any of those performances -- instead he heaped praise on Cooper for his role in "The Hangover."
Pitt pointed out the subtle intricacies of Cooper's performance -- saying so many of the moments Cooper makes great have very little to do with him ... improving the film from the side of the screen in a sense. Pretty impressive for a movie where one of the main characters is a tiger!
The Oscar-winner didn't just talk about "The Hangover" though ... he also brought up Cooper's "A Star is Born" performance and direction -- noting Cooper somehow balanced emotional drunk acting scenes while also keeping an eye on the crew to make sure he's getting the perfect shot.
Brad added, "To do that really, really well is nothing short of perfect."
Hopefully, the Academy feels the same way ... Cooper's up for Best Actor for his role in the movie at this year's Oscars -- an award he's 0-for-3 on so far.
And -- if it doesn't work out -- Bradley can always look into making "The Hangover Part IV" ... seems like Brad would love it!

Keegan-Michael Key Ghosts of NFL Couples Past Swift & Kelce Are Simpson & Romo 2.0
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are stirring up memories of past high-profile NFL couples -- including one controversial ex-couple -- at least for Keegan-Michael Key.
KMK hosted the NFL Honors -- the league's annual end-of-season award ceremony -- and, obviously, the funnyman had to bring up Traylor.
He pointed out Kelce isn't the first NFL baller to date a pop star ... name-dropping Russell Wilson and Ciara and Tony Romo and Jessica Simpson before cracking a joke about Brad Paisley and Peyton Manning's friendship.
While Russ and Ciara are still going strong nearly a decade into their relationship, JS and TR didn't make it nearly that long ... with their relationship causing constant drama for the pair.
You'll recall ... Romo and Simpson started dating in late 2007, and just like T-Swift, Simpson became a huge staple in the crowd at Dallas Cowboys games.
Dallas struggled in 2008 though -- the first full season Simpson and Romo dated -- missing out on a playoff spot by one measly tie to the rival Philadelphia Eagles.
Some fans, rather unfairly, blamed the team's issues on Romo and Simpson's relationship ... the couple broke up the following year after Tony found out Jessica was still in contact with her ex, John Mayer.
Worth noting ... Romo's been very supportive of Swift and Kelce since they took their relationship public in September -- recently saying he's rooting for the couple to marry after accidentally referring to Swift as Kelce's wife back in December.
BTW, Key made a few more jokes involving Swift and Kelce though none at the couple's expense ... instead poking fun at the Carolina Panthers and ex-Pats head coach Bill Belichick.
Time will tell if Taylor/Travis is more Ciara/Russ -- married with children -- or more of the bad memory Jessica and Tony are for Cowboys fans.

Post Malone & Swae Lee 'Sunflower' Goes 2x Diamond 💎🌻💎 Already Biggest Hit Ever!!!
Post Malone and Swae Lee's "Sunflower" is hitting at a new, historic milestone -- the 2018 duet was certified Double Diamond, aka 20 million sold, putting it in a class all of its own!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Both artists were equally excited when they hugged it out at the award ceremony Thursday in celebration of their achievement, and posed for pics with their managers and label teams.
RIAA Chairman and CEO Mitch Glazier said the Carter Lang/Louis-produced track raised the bar for collaborations going forward, and it'll probably take a new-age "We Are The World" moment to even approach its success.
When the song broke the all-time record at 17x Platinum, Post told TMZ Hip Hop that having Swae in the studio was the secret sauce needed for making the track so huge.
The song originally appeared on the "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse" soundtrack but has managed to stick around on fan's playlists all this time ... 8 billion streams and counting!!!

SZA No le importa haber perdido el Álbum del Año Todavía tengo un montón de Grammys!!!
SZA definitivamente es de las artistas que ve el "vaso medio lleno", pues dice que ya ha superado el haber perdido el Álbum del Año en la 66ª edición de los Premios Grammy.
La rapera y cantante de R&B se sentó con The Hollywood Reporter el lunes, un día después de que su álbum "SOS" perdiera frente a "Midnights" de Taylor Swift por el premio más importante de la noche, y dijo que no le importaban tanto los trofeos como simplemente "sobrevivir a la noche".
Por si se lo perdieron, SZA también actuó en los Grammys este domingo y llegó tarde a recibir uno de los tres Grammys que ganó debido a ello, por lo que parece que la artista de 34 años tenía asuntos mucho más urgentes en su mente.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Básicamente, SZA dijo que está feliz de haber ganado 3 premios, sin importar cuán grandes o pequeños sean a los ojos del resto del mundo, agregando que no estuvo "bombardeando en televisión", por lo que todo funcionó muy bien para ella.
Y si creen que perder una de sus nominaciones frente a T-Swift está molestando a SZA, piénsalo dos veces porque le dijo a The Hollywood Reporter que llegó a hablar un montón con Taylor en el evento y la encontró "divertidísima".
Suena como el comienzo de una hermosa amistad entre celebridades.
Es importante señalar que SZA también ha estado recibiendo una tonelada de amor de otras celebridades, como por ejemplo Beyoncé, quien parece haberle enviado una nota escrita que ella volvió a publicar en Instagram. Definitivamente, hace que sea difícil obsesionarse con un Grammy más cuando la Reina se contacta contigo.
Así que, Sza claramente se mantiene positiva y oye, ¡¡¡siempre hay un próximo año!!!
SZA AOTY Loss Not Getting to Me ... Still Got My Grammys Bag!!!
SZA's definitely a "glass half full" kinda artist ... because she says she's already moved on from losing Album of the Year at the 66th Grammy Awards.
The rapper/R&B singer sat down with The Hollywood Reporter Monday -- one day after her album "SOS" lost out to Taylor Swift's "Midnights" for the evening's biggest award -- and, she said she didn't care as much about the trophies as simply "surviving the night."
ICYMI ... SZA also performed on Grammys Sunday -- and was late receiving one of the three Grammys she did win because of it -- so, it seems the 34-year-old had much more pressing issues on her mind.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Basically, SZA said she's happy to have won 3 awards, no matter how big or small they are in the rest of the world's eyes ... adding she didn't "bomb on live television" so the whole thing worked out great for her.
And, if you think losing on one of her nominations to T-Swift's buggin' SZA, then think again -- 'cause she told THR she got to talk with Taylor a ton at the event and called her "funny as hell."
Sounds like the beginning of a beautiful celeb friendship.
FWIW ... SZA's been getting a ton of love from other celebs -- like Beyoncé, who seems to have sent her a handwritten note that she reposted to IG. Definitely makes it hard to obsess over one more Grammy when the Queen reaches out.
So, SZA's clearly staying positive ... and hey, there's always next year!!!

Ludacris Timberlake Told Me STFU at '07 Grammys ... Spills Alleged Tea on 'DC'
Ludacris is recalling a wild moment from his win at the Grammys back in the day ... and it's all about Justin Timberlake's explicit reaction to Luda's big night -- which sounds jarring.
The story, as Ludacris explained on "Drink Champs," goes like this ... Ludacris was backstage at the 2007 Grammys after winning the award for Best Rap Album and he was dropping f-bombs and letting out his emotions.
Back then, Ludacris says artists went into little holding areas only separated by thin curtains ... which didn't offer much privacy.
Once Ludacris ended his celebration, he says he heard a voice from the other side of the curtain ... "Shut the f*** up, some of us didn't win any g****** Grammys!!!"
Luda says he pulled back the curtain ... only to find Justin Timberlake standing there, and in his mind -- it was clearly him who yelled it.
Hard to tell if Luda is all that bent out of shape about it -- if anything, he seems to find it more amusing than anything all these years later. Based on his demeanor here, he clearly loves to tell the tale and still gets a kick out of it in 2024.
Ludacris says he was extra amped after winning the award because he had come up short for years and set out to win a Grammy when he recorded "Release Therapy."
Justin's funny outburst was a bit premature ... he lost Best Pop Vocal Album and Album Of The Year for "FutureSex/LoveSounds" but won two Grammys ... Best Rap/Song Collaboration for "My Love" and Best Dance Recording for "Sexy Back."
FWIW, Luda says it's all love with Justin ... calling JT "gangsta" -- so he's good in his book.
This type of story certainly might've landed poorly if Luda was actually upset with Justin -- dude's still in a bit of an uphill battle in terms of getting his fanbase back amid backlash from Britney Spears/Janet Jackson lovers. Luckily, Luda isn't piling on ... at least not really.

Ludacris recuerda un divertido momento con Justin Timberlake En los Grammy
Ludacris recordó un gran momento de una vieja victoria en los Grammys. Se trata de la reacción de Justin Timberlake a la gran noche de Luda.
La historia, como Ludacris explicó en "Drink Champs", es así: Ludacris estaba en el backstage de los Grammys 2007 después de ganar el premio al Mejor Álbum de Rap y estaba dejando salir sus emociones.
En aquel entonces, Ludacris dice que los artistas iban a pequeñas áreas de espera que estaban separadas únicamente por finas cortinas que no ofrecían mucha privacidad.
Una vez que Ludacris terminó su celebración, dice que oyó una voz desde el otro lado de la cortina: "¡Cállate la p*** boca, algunos de nosotros no ganamos ningún g****** Grammys!"
Luda dice que corrió la cortina solo para encontrar a Justin Timberlake de pie... claramente fue él quien lo gritó.
Luda parece encontrar muy divertido este asunto todos estos años después. Basándonos en su comportamiento, está claro que le encanta contar la historia y todavía se divierte en 2024.
Ludacris dice que estaba muy emocionado después de ganar el premio porque se había quedado corto durante años y se había propuesto ganar un Grammy cuando grabó "Release Therapy".
El divertido arrebato de Justin fue un poco prematuro, perdió Mejor Álbum Pop Vocal y Álbum del Año por "FutureSex/LoveSounds" pero ganó dos Grammys, Mejor Colaboración Rap/Canción por "My Love" y Mejor Grabación Dance por "Sexy Back".
A propósito, Luda dice que solo tiene amor por Justin, llamando a JT "gangsta" - por lo que es bueno en su libro.
Este tipo de historia sin duda podría haber aterrizado mal si Luda estaba realmente molesto con Justin - dude todavía está en un poco de una batalla cuesta arriba en términos de obtener su base de fans de nuevo en medio de la reacción de los amantes de Britney Spears / Janet Jackson. Por suerte, Luda no está apilando en ... al menos no realmente.
MILEY CYRUS ACHY BREAKY HEART FOR DAD BILLY!!! No Mention in Her Grammys Speech
Miley Cyrus' big night at the Grammys -- scooping up 2 trophies -- is raising eyebrows because she totally excluded her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, from her acceptance speeches.
Miley first bagged the Best Pop Solo Performance Award for her hit song "Flowers" before the song later cinched the Record of the Year trophy -- and while she thanked several key people in her life onstage, she notably omitted mention of the iconic country musician.
The former Disney star went through the laundry list of people she wanted to thank -- her team, everyone onstage with her, her BF Maxx Morando, as well as her mom, Tish Cyrus, and sister, Brandi Cyrus -- but Billy didn't get a coveted shout-out.
The snub was even more pronounced as Miley made a concerted effort to ensure she didn't overlook anyone ... turning to her team behind her, asking: "Anyone else? Your wife, your fiancée, all the people that we love. Thank you all so much."
Even her undergarments got a playful shout-out, as she joked: "I don't think I forgot anyone. But, I might have forgotten underwear. Bye!" ... but as for a mention of Billy? Nada!
The omission may be a wholly innocent slip of the mind or may allude to an extension of reports from 2022 that Miley's relationship with Billy was strained following his divorce from Tish ... who attended the Grammys with her daughter.
Remember, Miley once shared a special bond with Billy who played a pivotal role in launching her career through "Hannah Montana" -- they shared the screen on all 4 seasons of the TV show, and the subsequent film.
If there is family tension, Miley didn't show it though -- she was glowing during the rest of her acceptance speech, saying: "This award is amazing, but I really hope it doesn't change anything because my life was beautiful yesterday."
Miley added, "Not everyone will get a Grammy, but everyone in this world is spectacular, so please don't think this is important, even though it's very important."
During the ceremony, she also had a pretty incredible live performance of "Flowers" -- and, apparently, does not need her pops to buy her any.

Miley Cyrus deja a su padre Billy Ray Cyrus Fuera del discurso de aceptación de los Grammy
La gran noche de Miley Cyrus en los Grammy -en la que se llevó dos trofeos- está dando que hablar porque excluyó por completo a su padre, Billy Ray Cyrus, de su discurso de agradecimiento.
Miley se llevó primero el premio a la mejor actuación pop en solitario por su éxito "Flowers" antes de que la canción consiguiera el trofeo a la mejor grabación del año, y aunque le dio las gracias a varias personas clave en su vida en el escenario, omitió notablemente al icónico músico country.
La ex estrella de Disney nombró a su equipo, todo el mundo en el escenario con ella, su novio Maxx Morando, así como su madre, Tish Cyrus, y su hermana, Brandi Cyrus, pero no hubo mención a Billy.
El desaire fue aún más pronunciado cuando Miley hizo un esfuerzo concertado para asegurarse de que no pasaba por alto a nadie, dirigiéndose a su equipo detrás de ella, preguntando: "¿Alguien más? Tu mujer, tu prometida, toda la gente que queremos. Muchas gracias a todos".
Incluso su ropa interior recibió un juguetón saludo, bromeando: "No creo que me haya olvidado de nadie. Pero puede que me haya olvidado de la ropa interior. Adiós". ¿Alguna mención a Billy? Nada.
La omisión puede ser un desliz totalmente inocente o puede aludir a una extensión de los informes de 2022 que aseguran que la relación de Miley y Billy se tornó tensa después de su divorcio de Tish, que asistió a los Grammy con su hija.
Recordemos que Miley compartió un vínculo especial con Billy, quien jugó un papel fundamental en el lanzamiento de su carrera a través de "Hannah Montana", compartieron la pantalla durante las 4 temporadas de la serie de televisión y la película posterior.
Si hay tensión familiar, Miley no lo demostró, ella estaba radiante durante el resto de su discurso de aceptación, diciendo: "Este premio es increíble, pero realmente espero que no cambie nada porque mi vida era hermosa ayer".
Miley añadió: "No todo el mundo conseguirá un Grammy, pero todo el mundo es espectacular, así que por favor no piensen que esto es fundamental, aunque sí es un gran honor".
Durante la ceremonia, también tuvo una actuación en directo bastante increíble de "Flowers", y al parecer, no necesita que sus papás le compren ninguna.
Travis Scott Seems to Throw a Fit Onstage ... After Latest Grammys Loss
Travis Scott got snubbed yet again at the Grammys -- and he seemed to let out his rage in the aftermath ... at least that's what some are perceiving from his WWE-style performance.
The rapper was fresh off another loss at Sunday's show -- with Killer Mike beating him out for Best Rap album, even though many thought 'Utopia' was a shoo-in -- and when TS hit the stage later for a live-music moment ... he appeared to address his anger about it.
Trav and Playboi Carti tag-teamed their song 'FE!N' ... and at one point, Travis started freaking out in the middle of the stage -- throwing around foldable chairs that were there, and even hitting some of the stage props around him.
Some assumed it was just part of his thing -- y'know, typical raging, etc. -- but it became clear to others that something else was going on ... namely, because of TS's own words.
Trav switched up some of the lyrics in the song and said "They slept on me 10 times!" -- obviously in reference to him being nominated 10 times at the Grammys but never winning.
Clearly, he felt some type of way about it -- and seems to have let it out in his art.
As for Killer Mike, well ... he was happy about being recognized -- but things took an ugly turn very soon after, when he got led away by cops in handcuffs. Win some, lose some.

Travis Scott parece desahogarse Durante su actuación en los Grammy
Travis Scott fue desairado una vez más en los Grammys y parecía dejar salir su rabia en las secuelas... al menos eso es lo que algunos están percibiendo de su actuación al estilo WWE.
El rapero recién había perdido antes de su show del domingo, con Killer Mike superándolo por Mejor Álbum de Rap, a pesar de que muchos pensaban que "Utopía" ganaba seguro, cuando Travis subió al escenario más tarde para dar un show donde parecía vomitar sus frustraciones.
Trav y Playboi Carti interpretó "FE!N" y por un momento, Travis comenzó a enloquecer en el centro del escenario, lanzando alrededor sillas plegables que estaban allí e incluso golpeando parte del escenario.
Algunos supusieron que era parte del show, ya sabes, la típica rabia, etc., pero otros se dieron cuenta de que no era así. Incluso hay quienes diucen saber la verdad de la propia voz de Travis, asegurando que dijo cosas en backstage.
Trav cambió algunas de las letras de la canción y dijo "¡Me durmieron 10 veces!". obviamente en referencia a que ha sido nominado 10 veces en los Grammy, pero nunca ha ganado.
Claramente dejó salir los sentimientos en su arte.
En cuanto a Killer Mike, bueno, estaba feliz de ser reconocido, pero las cosas tomaron un giro feo muy poco después cuando fue llevado esposado por policías... ya saben, veces se gana y a veces se pierde.
OLIVIA RODRIGO & TAYLOR SWIFT GIRL POWER AT THE GRAMMYS ... What Spat?! We Good!
Taylor Swift was a sucker for Olivia Rodrigo's performance of "Vampire" ... debunking any beef rumors between them at the Grammys Sunday evening.
Olivia gave a bloody good rendition of the fiery tune ... with Tay Tay singing and dancing along -- something that didn't go unnoticed on Olivia's end as she blew her a kiss at the end ... signaling a mutual respect between the two.

The "Guts" singer Olivia returned the supportive favor ... standing up to clap for Taylor as she scooped the Best Pop Vocal Album. Yeah, you wouldn't be doing all that for your arch-nemesis, now would you?
The duo's fandom first speculated they were feuding when Olivia retroactively credited Swift and producer Jack Antonoff on her single "Deja Vu" -- though she's denied any clash between them since.
"I don't beef with anyone," Olivia clarified to Rolling Stone in Sept 2023 ... noting that falling out with someone was unlike her cause she's a chill person who keeps to herself.
She concluded on the matter: "There's nothing to say. There's so many Twitter conspiracy theories. I only look at alien-conspiracy theories." Underlying point, fandoms need to chill.
So, there you have it, folks ... things between O&T are good and had never soured in the first place.
This all was evident as Taylor was seen doing what she does best ... doling out a serious dose of girl power for her pals when they're killing it.

La cantante de "Guts" le devolvió el favor a Taylor, al ponerse de pie para aplaudir su premio al Mejor Álbum Pop Vocal. No harías todo eso por tu archienemiga, ¿o sí?
Los fans de las cantantes especularon que estaban peleadas cuando Olivia retroactivamente le dio crédito a Swift y al productor Jack Antonoff en su single "Deja Vu", aunque ella ha negado cualquier enfrentamiento entre ellas desde entonces.
"No me peleo con nadie", aclaró Olivia a Rolling Stone en septiembre de 2023, señalando que eso no es propio de ella, pues es una persona tranquila que se las vale sola.
Concluyó: "No hay nada que decir. Hay tantas teorías de la conspiración en Twitter. Yo solo miro teorías de conspiración alienígena". Punto subyacente, los fans necesitan calmarse.
Así que ahí lo tienen amigos, las cosas entre Olivia & Taylor están bien y nunca estuvieron mal en primer lugar.
Todo esto se hizo evidente cuando Taylor fue vista haciendo lo que mejor sabe hacer: repartir una buena dosis de girl power para sus amigas cuando están arrasando.
Taylor Swift's Grammys AOTY Awkwardly Ignores Celine Onstage ... Makes Up for It w/ Sweet Pic
Taylor Swift won Album of the Year (again) at the Grammys, but weirdly ignored the musical icon presenting in Celine Dion -- even though ... she paid her respects backstage, it seems.
Rare misstep for Tay Tay, who's usually on point ... but on Sunday night, she kinda screwed up -- at least in Twitter's eyes, anyway -- when she paid little to no attention to CD who announced her as the winner for AOTY ... which was a big deal for a lot of reasons.
It was the final award for the night -- and the largest prize at the Grammys, period -- which is why it was such a remarkable moment to see Celine come out to present it in person.
Of course, she's very publicly battling Stiff-Person Syndrome -- and has stepped away from the spotlight of late -- so for her to do this was notable and moving, especially since she appeared to look relatively healthy here ... something the audience met with a standing O.
Fast-forward to Taylor being named the winner, when she ran onstage with her collaborators -- plus Lana Del Rey -- and looked so overcome with emotion that she totally downplayed Celine's presence ... simply taking the statuette from her without so much as a nod.
Indeed, it came off as quite rude -- you could tell Celine found it odd as well -- and the Internet unloaded on Taylor for what they perceived as a major lack of respect/reverence.
It would appear Taylor and/or team caught wind of this backlash quickly -- 'cause not too long after ... a photo of the two posing together (and looking cozy) backstage surfaced, which a ton of outlets then posted without much description or captions. Coincidence much?
Some are suggesting her PR machine kicked into high gear -- and perhaps it did. In any case, it sounds like T-Swift made things right with the legend ... all's well that ends well.
