The Kansas City Chiefs are standing behind Harrison Butker in the short term and for years to come ... 'cause the two sides just agreed to a massive $25.6 million contract extension -- months after he came under fire for polarizing comments made during a commencement speech.

Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott appear eager to offload their Beverly Hills home ... as the former flames have slashed the listing price once again.
The ex-couple's first home together -- which they nabbed for a notable $13.4 million back in 2018 -- hit the market again back in February ... when they asked for $17,995,000. Mind you, this was significantly less than their first attempt at unloading the property ... as they previously listed the abode for $21.9 million back in 2022.
KJ and TS didn't get any takers back then ... and it seems that's the case today, as according to online records they are now asking for $15,995,000. If math's not your strong suit, this is a $2 million drop in price ... which likely speaks to the exes' urgency of wanting to ditch the mansion.

8:10 AM PT -- While Christina Haack clearly thought Josh Hall was making a reference to her and their ongoing divorce, we now know that's not the case ... 'cause he was getting at something else entirely.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Josh was actually visiting a cop friend of his, who's terminally ill -- and he's being treated at a cancer treatment facility called City of Hope. Our sources say Josh dropped the blue heart to show solidarity with law enforcement.
In other words, this had nothing to do with Christina -- even though she clearly took it that way.
