How do we know who attended Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's star-studded
1,000-guest wedding this weekend, despite the details being as closely
guarded as national security secrets?
Because the A-listers who attended from the world of movies, TV, music,
sports, fashion and the arts were dying to tell us about it — or at
least strongly imply it.
The union of Swift and Kelce, two of the biggest celebrities in the
world, managed to completely dominate the internet despite the fact that
guests reportedly had to check their phones at the door and sign NDAs.
Perhaps the biggest trend of the weekend was a superstar guest posting
themselves on Instagram or TikTok in an ultra-glam, black-tie fit paired
with an enigmatic caption. If you know, you know.

Marvel boss Kevin Feige once said back in 2017 at a Guardians of the
Galaxy Vol. 2 presser that when it came to the studio’s embrace of
deeper character comic book stories like Black Panther and Ant-Man, “The
biggest risk was not [in] doing them. The biggest risk would have been
doing Iron Man 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.”
As such, the revived DC Studios under Guardians of the Galaxy franchise
filmmaker James Gunn and Conjuring franchise producer Peter Safran has
plans to do exactly that: Not to gavage moviegoers on a diet of
Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman, but rather build secondary DC
characters into diamond properties.
A 2024 Anthony Fantano video, improbably enough, is back in the
conversation this week.
By now, your endless scroll has alerted you to the resurfacing of the
music critic and The Needle Drop personality's review of Halsey's most
recent studio album as of this writing, 2024's The Great Impersonator.
While Fantano handed the album "a light to decent 1," it was otherwise
met with largely favorable reviews.
Seemingly, though for reasons that aren't entirely clear, the review in
question has received renewed attention amid coverage of Fantano's
recent interview with Olivia Rodrigo, whose excellent new album you seem
pretty sad for a girl so in love is currently atop the Billboard 200
chart.

Simone Cromer, the internet figure formerly known as Club Chalamet,
allegedly got into a physical altercation outside of a Paris hotel.
On Tuesday (June 23), X posts began circulating alleging the 59-year-old
fan was “jumped” while awaiting the departure of Heated Rivalry star
Connor Storrie from his hotel during Paris Fashion Week.
The controversial figure was criticized for her seemingly parasocial and
obsessive relationship with the young actor, frequently seeing his
movies multiple times in theaters, attending premieres and sightings,
and maintaining popular social media accounts dedicated to Chalamet,
which occasionally included a vocal disdain for his relationship with
Kylie Jenner.
Cromer would go on to distance herself from the actor after his failed
awards campaign for Marty Supreme, for which he left empty-handed from
all the major ceremonies. In an Instagram post announcing the shocking
move, she wrote, “Things have changed in this fandom in such a
significant way that we also have to adjust to the changes and focus on
other interests that simply bring us joy.”

Conor McGregor's latest media appearance has sparked a fresh wave of
controversy, with host Jimmy Fallon facing criticism after welcoming the
former UFC champion to The Tonight Show to promote his long-awaited
return to the Octagon.
McGregor appeared on the NBC late-night program this week ahead of his
July 11 fight against Max Holloway at UFC 329 in Las Vegas, marking his
first bout in five years. During the interview, Fallon enthusiastically
discussed McGregor's comeback and even recalled the pair going out for
drinks following a previous appearance. “We’ll have to do it again!”
Fallon said.

Ariana Grande felt the love inside Crypto.com Arena Sunday night.
The superstar singer delivered the second of four performances in Los
Angeles on The Eternal Sunshine Tour, and 90 minutes through the show
Grande stopped to address the crowd, which responded to her comments
with wild cheers and applause.
“Thank you so much, oh my god. L.A., thank you so much. Are you kidding?
What the hell? I’ve never in my life experienced a crowd like this,”
Grande said as she got emotional and wiped away tears with a gloved hand
while wearing custom Vivienne Westwood, Christian Louboutin boots and
Swarovski jewelry. “This is so overwhelming in the most beautiful way
ever. Thank you so much for being so loving. Holy moly. I said holy
moly, but I meant it, you know.”

Phoebe Bridgers has added more dates to the North American leg of her
upcoming Lost Tour, kicking off in September.
The newly announced performances include extra shows in Indianapolis,
Chicago, New York City, Toronto, Boston, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Presales begin Tuesday at 10 a.m. local time, and tickets go on sale to
the general public on Friday at 10 a.m. local time. For the full list of
dates and all ticket info, visit Bridgers' website.
The initial Lost Tour announcement followed Bridgers' run of pop-up
performances, which culminated with a surprise show at New York City's
Madison Square Garden earlier in June. Those shows marked Bridgers'
first solo concerts in three years.
As previously reported, attendees of the Lost Tour will be required to
secure their phones and any other recording or filming devices in Yondr
pouches during the show.

Rue Bennett is gone. But to those whose lives she touched, she’s
vividly present.
That’s among the takeaways from the Season 3 finale of “Euphoria,” an
episode that brought its primary characters to some version or another
of closure. Rue (Zendaya) dies before the episode’s midpoint, after
which Ali (Colman Domingo) must avenge her. Meanwhile, Cassie (Sydney
Sweeney) seems set up for her future as an OnlyFans mogul, but still has
ways to go in terms of healing the wounds left by her brief, turbulent
marriage to the late Nate (Jacob Elordi). And there’s a sweet tribute to
Fezco (played in the first two seasons by Angus Cloud), in some ways
the soul of “Euphoria.”

Lizzo is putting a certain rumor to rest.
On Saturday, May 23, the rapper and singer (whose real name is Melissa
Jefferson) responded to a fan comment accusing her of "talking s---"
about Taylor Swift.
"The Life Of A Showgirl + MY FACE HURTS FROM SMILING — 4.005M," a user
wrote on X the day prior, referring to Swift's latest album and Lizzo's
2025 mixtape, respectively. "ICEMAN + MAID OF HONOUR + HABIBTI — 683k."
The post also featured a clip from her "STFU" music video.
Lizzo, 38, reshared the post, asking users to clarify what the X user
wrote: "Can someone explain what this means?"
One user replied, saying, "It means all that s--- talking you did about
Tay finally caught up to you."
That's when Lizzo stepped in to defend herself.

In the video directed by Colin Solal Cardo, Styles, 32, enters what
appears to be a high school gym where he gets down to disco very quickly
in little red shorts and tennis shoes.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, or so they say. In that
case, Meghan Trainor’s Toy With Me is the biggest compliment anyone
could ever pay Sabrina Carpenter. Between the sexy pastel babydoll
aesthetic, glitzy production, cheeky hooks, (attempts at) winking
innuendo, and even the stupid banged wig in every visualizer, there’s
very little on the “All About That Bass” singer’s latest album that does
not have the Short n’ Sweet star in its DNA. What doesn’t scream
Sabrina, though, screams someone else: “Chef’s Kiss” echoes Taylor
Swift’s “Karma”; “Rich Man” feels a little too close to aespa’s hit of
the same name from last year. None of this compares to the closing
track, “Shimmer,” which is so close to Tate McRae’s “Just Keep Watching”
that a future lawsuit wouldn’t be surprising. The bridge is nearly
identical to McRae’s chorus, down to lines like “Just do it like this,
break your back”—shockingly similar to McCrae’s “Goes like this, start
with the track / Eyes on me, archin’ my back.” You have to wonder what
the hell Trainor’s team was thinking.
