Travis Kelce showed his support for girlfriend Taylor Swift ahead of her first European Eras Tour show in Paris, France, on Monday, May 9. The NFL star commented on an Instagram post from Taylor's guitarist Paul Sidoti, who shared a photo of him and Taylor onstage together. "The Eras Tour Europe starts tonight..Paris you’re up first.. who’s coming?" Paul wrote. Travis commented, "Lfg!!!" alongside celebratory hand emojis.
Speaking of Taylor, she started this new leg of The Eras Tour by wearing a brand new orange bodysuit and blazer during the concert's Lover set. The custom looks are by Atelier Versace, Vogue reports. “Taylor is taking over the world with joy, love, and female power in Versace,” Donatella Versace said. “I love her talent, her hard work, and dedication to her fans. She is a superstar!”
Olivia Rodrigo has responded to the fan who tattooed the wrong lyrics to her song "Hope Ur Ok" to her wrist. The correct lyrics of the song go, "address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings." The fan had the words, "butter wings" tattooed instead of "butterfly wings." “HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAH OMG THIS IS THE NEW LYRIC IM CHANGING IT TO BUTTERWINGS,” Olivia commented on the fan's TikTok.

Even if you haven't seen the new Anne Hathaway Prime Video film, The Idea of You, you've probably heard that the plot — a 40-year-old divorced mom and the much-younger singer in a British boy band fall in love — was inspired by Harry Styles. Some people have even described the book and movie as "Harry Styles fan fiction," but the woman who wrote the book the movie is based on would like everyone to stop thinking that way.
The Idea of You author Robinne Lee tells Entertainment Weekly, "I don't consider it fan fiction at all, Harry was one of multiple people who went into creating [the character of] Hayes Campbell — he was the only one in a British boy band that was current at the time, I guess, and so that's what people have latched onto."
"It's unfortunate because it's being used as clickbait, and when I'm writing for Hayes, I'm not picturing Harry Styles," she insists.
While Lee once said that Harry was one of the inspirations for the character, she also said Eddie Redmayne, Prince Harry and some of her exes were in there. Now, she tells EW that John F. Kennedy Jr., the guys in Duran Duran and late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence were additional inspirations.
"It's picking and choosing what I wanted from different people," she notes. "You create your character and you make him what you want to make him. He feels very real to me, and I think Harry's just what people gravitated to."
"But he's not Harry in my head when I'm writing for him," she continues. "He is not Harry and he's not living Harry's life. He's very much his own person to me."

Camila Cabello has said in various interviews that her hometown of Miami inspired the sound of her new album, C, XOXO, and in a newly released trailer for the project, she makes the inspiration even more obvious.
The trailer features footage of Camila in various situations in Miami — in a car, on the beach at night and hanging out with girlfriends —with a voiceover that narrates a story of someone the singer refers to as "she."
"She likes to drive with the windows down so she can hear what the city's saying at night," narrates Camila. "She likes its broken English; its all-over-the-place music taste ... they always said this city would be underwater by now. then again, that's what they said about her. I guess they both learned how to swim."
Then, Camila includes herself in the narration, saying, "We go from the beach to the car ride home in our sticky, salty hair. What's the point of foundation? It'll just melt off anyway. Just some mascara and ... can I borrow some lip gloss?"
"We tan because what's the difference? We fly too close to the sun anyways," she continues. "The sun is our only constant lover: the way he kisses our skin and our hair -- no wonder we feel so pretty."
Camila then goes back to talking about the mysterious "she."
"Yeah, she takes trips and she's out in LA and New York and s***," says Camila. "When all is said and done, though, you hear her screaming, "305 'til i die, b****!"
It's not clear if this entire spoken-word piece is part of the album, or it was just made for the trailer. C, XOXO arrives June 28. A new song, "He Knows" featuring Lil Nas X, is out on May 10.

Justin Bieber has been talking for years about how he'd love to be a father. Well, he's finally getting his chance.
Justin, 30, and his wife Hailey, 27, have revealed on Instagram that they're expecting their first child. In a series of photos and video, Hailey wears a form-fitting lacy gown and a veil, and you can clearly see her baby bump. She's cradling her belly in one of the photos.
The montage also features a picture of the couple holding hands and looking at each other in front of a man reading from a book. That, plus Hailey's wedding-like gown and veil, seems to indicate they may have renewed their vows. Indeed, People reports that the photos are from their "vow renewal."
ABC News has confirmed that Hailey is expecting and that she's a little over six months along.
Justin's mom is clearly excited to be a grandmother: She commented on Justin's post, "BABY BIEBER LETS GOOOOOOO!!!" On Hailey's post, she wrote, "THANK YOU JESUS."
Justin and Hailey wed in 2018 in New York City and then had a larger celebration in South Carolina. In October of 2023, Hailey complained to GQ Hype that everybody was continually speculating that she's having a baby.
"There is something that's disheartening about, damn, I can't be bloated one time and not be pregnant? It would be a lie if I was like, 'Oh yeah, I don't give a s***," she said. "When there comes a day that that is true, you, you as in the internet, will be the last to know."

Nick Jonas is a busy guy, which his wife, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, acknowledged in an Instagram post on May 9.
It was recently announced that Nick would co-star with Paul Rudd in a new comedy called Power Ballad, and filming is underway. Priyanka acknowledged the news by posting a photo of Nick with the caption, "Husband appreciation post: As I finish one he starts one. The universe keeps us in sync. So happy to be reunited as he starts filming Power Ballad. "
"Congratulations on your first day baby. There is no one who works harder than you," she continued. "This is going to be amazing.
Nick plays a rock star in the new film, but in his latest movie, The Good Half, which hits theaters July 23, he plays a writer. He tells Entertainment Weekly it was difficult for him to film a scene that required him to sing at a karaoke bar, because he wasn't sure how to not sound professional.
"It's really hard to think about how to try to sound not great, but not bad ... it was the one scene that I was nervous about stepping into for the film," he tells EW. "It certainly shakes things up mentally, but I thought it was a bizarre thing to try to figure out how to sing good-ish. I just tried to have fun with it and act like it was late in the evening after a few drinks, and that made it easier."
Nick will be back to singing professionally on May 23: He'll perform at amfAR's 30th anniversary gala in Cap D'Antibes, France. The event, hosted by Demi Moore and featuring "a special musical moment" with Cher, will benefit The Foundation for AIDS Research.

ZAYN is opening up about his time with One Direction in a new interview with The Zach Sang Show.
ZAYN left 1D in 2015; he's releasing his fourth solo album, Room Under the Stairs, on May 5. He tells Sang, "The one thing I always feel bad about when I look back over my life is not enjoying the band enough. I feel like I just took things too seriously."
"I’m grateful that I’m able to be happier now ... I didn’t understand the importance of just trying to be happy," he adds. "I had this teen angst thing going on, a chip on my shoulder where I’m like, ‘It’s really cool to just be moody as f*** all the time.’ But it's not. You're just a loser.”
ZAYN admits relations between him and his bandmates, Louis, Liam, Harry and Niall, weren't always as good as they could have been, and he regrets that, as well.
“I think the thing was, we were so young. And when we were in the band, we didn’t have that level of compassion yet because we didn’t understand life yet. We just were young kids that just were thrown in the situation," he says.
He adds, "Y'know, we resented each other to a certain degree because we were solo artists that were put in a band, and we should have never felt that way. It should have never been a competition. It should have always been a camaraderie, and we should have always been there for each other and had each other’s backs."
Now, ZAYN says, "I’ve become a more compassionate, caring person for other people. And the thing that I learned is I could have done that earlier.”

Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift go way back, and they've collaborated with each other multiple times. So what does Ed think of Taylor's new album, The Tortured Poets Department?
"I think it's great. I always love the work that she does with Aaron [Dessner], and yeah, I think it's a very powerful album," Ed told Extra. Aaron produced most of the "surprise" portion of The Tortured Poets Department: the 15 Anthology songs Taylor released just a few hours after the "regular" version of the record.
In fact, Ed was such a fan of what Taylor's created with Aaron that he hired him to produce the two albums he released in 2023: - (Subtract) and Autumn Variations.
Speaking about his friendship with Taylor, Ed told Extra, "I find speaking to people in the same industry as you ... I have a lot of friends that I grew up with obviously that I can speak to about stuff, but when you have someone in the same industry as you, they sorta get the things that you get, I guess."

Andy Cohen and John Mayer are BFFs who are extremely close, but the Bravo exec and host wants to make it very clear: their relationship isn't sexual.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Cohen, who's gay, addressed what the publication called the "intense speculation" surrounding his relationship with Mayer. "Let them speculate! I honestly love John Mayer, and he loves me. But because we’re so affectionate toward each other, people don’t know what box to put that in."
"They assume we’re sleeping with each other, which we are most definitely not," he added.
It's not surprising that there has been speculation, though. In an interview with Howard Stern last year, Cohen said, "I am in love with John Mayer. We are in love with each other." And when John gave a speech at Andy's Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony in 2022, he said, "I love Andy more than I can tell you."
Meanwhile, John is getting ready to kick off a residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas with Dead & Company. It starts on May 16 and is scheduled to wrap up on June 22.
