According to reports, Beyoncé and Jay Z have recently purchased a historic mansion in the Garden District of New Orleans called La Casa de Castile for $2.6 million. The property, built in 1925, is said to have a Spanish Baroque architectural style. It is envisioned that the power couple will host extravagant Mardi Gras parties in their new lavish home.

Comparatively, the purchase price of La Casa de Castile appears relatively modest in relation to the $6.5 million that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are reportedly asking for their French Quarter residence. The details surrounding the features and amenities of Beyoncé and Jay Z’s new property are not provided in this information.

Jason and Travis Kelce have come a long from from their upbringing in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.

Today, they’re veritable NFL stars with Super Bowl rings — Jason Kelce won a Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2017; Travis Kelce in 2019 and 2023. His team, the Kansas City Chiefs, will play the Super Bowl again in 2024. Famously, the brothers became the first to go head-to-head in a Super Bowl.

The duo co-host a podcast, “New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce,” where they discuss a little bit of everything: Football, of course, but also fatherhood, family and, of late, Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift.

Jason and Travis Kelce are the only children of Ed and Donna Kelce. The parents opened up on “New Heights” about raising kids who were bound for professional sports, recommending parents “feed a passion for athletics, not the NFL.”

But what, exactly, is fueling the hype for these brothers? Here’s everything you need to know about the first brothers of football.

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has landed a new gig following his retirement from football at the end of last season.

Kelce called it quits after supporting his brother, Travis Kelce, through a Super Bowl run this year, having exited the playoffs with the Eagles in the first round.

According to The Athletic, the six-time first-team All-Pro is set to be part of ESPN’s ‘Monday Night Football’ pregame show. Kelce is understood to have received proposals from several networks but has opted to go with The Worldwide Leader in Sports, which has so far declined to comment.

“The recently retired Jason Kelce is headed to ESPN to be part of its “Monday Night Football” pregame show, sources briefed on the move told The Athletic,” the publication reported on Monday.

“Kelce, who just retired after what is considered a Hall of Fame career with the Philadelphia Eagles, was sought after by multiple networks, but is slated to land on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown.”

Jason Kelce has signed a deal with ESPN to become the newest addition to the Monday Night Football pregame broadcast crew, per @AndrewMarchand.

Congrats Jason! 🦅 pic.twitter.com/jXMNbUoJMp

Another Big Name Is Set To Join Jason Kelce At ESPN

The likes of NBC, CBS, and Amazon all had an interest in Jason Kelce, who has been interested in media himself for a while and hosts a popular podcast called ‘New Heights’ alongside Travis.

Jason and his wife, Kylie, already had a relationship with Amazon as they did a documentary branded, ‘Kelce,’ together. While the company’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ set is packed, NBC and CBS are said to have wanted Kelce to be part of their Sunday broadcasts.

Meanwhile, ESPN has also recruited another big-name media free agent in former New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick. The six-time Super Bowl winner was on ‘The Pat McAfee Show’ as part of the network’s coverage of the NFL Draft last week and will continue to make appearances on Mondays.

Belichick is also nearing a deal with Peyton Manning’s Omaha Productions, which would see him appear as a “semi-regular” guest on the ‘Manningcast.’

If there is one thing to say about Jason and Kylie Kelce’s marriage, it’s that the two know how to have fun together — even when that fun is (hilariously) at Jason’s expense.

On the most recent episode of Jason and brother Travis Kelce’s New Heights podcast, one of the topics they discussed was the notion of NFL players’ butts playing “a major role” in the success of the athlete. After exploring several reasons behind this idea — including the philosophy of the defensive line having a “big a** that just helps you anchor” — the retired Philadelphia Eagles center asked Travis: “What a** do you think of when you think of an NFL player?”

“Jason Kelce,” Travis replied immediately — which Jason quickly countered.

“I don’t have an a**, Travis, you know that,” he responded, while the Kansas City Chiefs tight end encouraged him to “ask Kylie,” saying “she knows” the answer.

Jason not only disagreed — “Kylie says I’ve got a chicken ass; that’s exactly what she says,” he told his brother — he offered to call his wife unprompted. “I swear to God [that’s what Kylie says],” Jason insisted as Travis threw his head back, laughing.

Getting Kylie on the phone, Jason indeed asked her the question.

“Ky! What do you say my a** resembles?” he questioned. Without hesitation, Kylie answered: “A chicken a**.”

“What is that?” Travis laughed. “Do chickens have glutes?”

“I think that’s the point: She’s saying basically that there’s nothing back there. It’s flat,” Jason explained.

Travis, however, was adamant that his brother was packing in the back.

“She’s not looking at the same a** [as I am],” Travis insisted.

While Kylie is not in the spotlight as much as her husband, both have praised the other publicly. When Jason emotionally announced his retirement from the NFL earlier this year, he thanked his wife — with whom he has three young daughters — in his candid remarks.

“I think it’s no coincidence I have enjoyed [the] best years of my career with Kylie by my side,” Jason shared. “Every accolade I have ever received has come with her in my life. She has brought the best out of me with love, devotion, support, honesty, intelligence, and, of course, a swift kick in the a** from time to time.”

The couple are also extremely close with Travis, whom they refer to as “Uncle Trav” because of their daughters.

In April, Kylie made a rare comment about Travis’ high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift.

“Ultimately, if Trav’s happy, we’re happy. We are always cheering on Uncle Trav,” Kylie said on the Today show. “It’s such a treat to be able to do that on and off the field. It’s been amazing.”

Eagles general manager Howie Roseman has praised Jason Kelce‘s impact both on and off the field in Philadelphia as he admits that the former center is ‘irreplaceable’ following his retirement from pro football in March.

Roseman, who’s been in his role since 2010 despite also being the organization’s executive vice president for the last five years, appeared on ESPN to talk about the Eagles’ approach to finding a successor to Kelce, who was instrumental in Philly’s famous ‘tush push’ on offense these last few seasons, as well as the Super Bowl-winning team in 2017.

‘How do you replace a guy like that?’ asked co-host of the Pat McAfee Show A.J. Hawk about Kelce. ‘Can you talk a little bit about what he actually meant to that franchise and the people there and everything about it because that guy is just… a real gem. He seems to be somebody I feel like from all corners of the Earth you have to love that dude.’

‘The best and you don’t replace that,’ Roseman replied. ‘And I think that it would be disingenuous to even pretend that we’re going to replace Jason Kelce. The person and the player. And I mean this is a first ballot HOFer, both on and off the field.

‘And so, I think for us we gotta continue to build the team. It’s the ultimate team game to understand that he is a huge loss.’

Roseman also praised one of Kelce’s closest teammates, Fletcher Cox – a defensive tackle who was drafted just a season after Kelce in 2012. Cox, 33, also retired this offseason.

‘Fletcher Cox is a huge loss for our organization, our football team,’ the 48-year-old, one-time Super Bowl-winning front office executive said. ‘The only thing we can do is we tried to get our young guys around them as much as possible so they can absorb it, so they can see what amazing players and people they were.

‘But also, that it doesn’t come easy in this league to be great at whatever job you have. That you have to work at it. That those guys were our hardest workers. They had unbelievable love for the game, unbelievable love for this team and city. And I feel like I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here today without Jason Kelce, and I’m including Fletch’ too because obviously we lost him as well.’

At the start of the month, Kelce opened up on his move to ESPN as an analyst on the network’s pregame show ‘Monday Night Countdown,’ which McAfee bragged about to Roseman after the latter’s aforementioned comments on the former’s show, Thurs.

‘You don’t gotta rub it in dude, you don’t gotta rub it in that you’re his teammate you know,’ Roseman joked, adding: ‘You know what though, the other thing that we talk about is just for me as a GM to be able to have these guys and we still obviously have Lane [Johnson] and B.G. [Brandon Graham] and those guys, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013 draft picks, etc.

‘To get those guys who’ve been through everything we’ve gone together and to have those guys and to be able to call them and saying ”Hey, I’m thinking about this. How do you think it would affect the team?” I mean special.

‘Now, never replace those guys but I feel like a lot of those guys we still have in this building have the chance to be this 10-15 year Eagles players with a chance to go into the NFL Hall of Fame.’

The brothers and their teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles, faced off once again on Nov. 20. Which of the Kelces has the most wins against the other?

It was another Kelce showdown!

On Monday night, Nov. 20, Jason Kelce’s Philadelphia Eagles took the field against Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium.

Though the teams have faced off many times throughout NFL history, with the Kelce brothers on the roster, they have played each other five times.

When Jason asked Travis on a recent episode of their New Heights podcast if he enjoys playing against him, Travis said it’s “fun as hell, man.”

“I enjoy just being in the NFL with you let alone when we actually get to share the field,” he continued. “It brings all of our family, all of our friends together to watch one game. Outside of the score at the end, I know that … I definitely have fun throughout every single game that we’ve ever played.”

They first went head-to-head in 2013, however, Travis was sidelined with an injury. The next matchup was 2017, followed by 2021 and most notably, the 2023 Super Bowl, which some affectionately nicknamed the Kelce Bowl.

Here, see whose team won each time the Kelces played against each other.

The streak is over! After lamenting on a November episode of New Heights that “We have never beaten the Chiefs in my tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles,” Jason and his Eagles teammates went on to win on Nov. 20, 27-17.

Immediately after the game, Jason and Travis found each other on the field, where they had a brief interaction, sharing an embrace and a laugh before Travis continued on and Jason walked around to greet people on the field.

On New Heights, Jason spoke about the attention that surrounds the brothers anytime their teams do play each other, calling it “a lot,” especially from a media standpoint.

However, “We genuinely love playing against each other,” he added. “There’s a lot of familiarity within both organizations, there’s a lot of our friends and family that get excited and get to watch one game where both of us are playing. So all of that means a lot to us and we get to enjoy that for the entire week.”

In an intense battle of the best, Travis’s Kansas City Chiefs ended up besting Jason’s Philadelphia Eagles, 38-35, during Super Bowl LVII in Glendale, Arizona, this past February.

“So, still sucked. Proud of my team, my guys,” Jason said on an episode of the brothers’ New Heights podcast days later. “Sorry, Philadelphia that we couldn’t f—ing get it done.”

He added to Travis, “But happy for you guys and, you know, that’s the way it goes sometimes.”

The younger Kelce was emotional in a post-game interview, saying it was a “weird feeling” to beat his big brother.

“There’s nothing really I can say to him other than I love him and he played a hell of a year, a hell of a season,” Travis said, per Sports Illustrated.

A particularly good showing by Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes gave Kansas City what the Associated Press deemed a “record-setting” game, with the Chiefs winning 42-30.

The game marked Jason’s 109th consecutive NFL start, according to the AP. It was a quieter game for Travis, who had four catches for 23 yards, but the AP joked his “acting skills were on display” when he played decoy on a special Mahomes play.

Travis scored an important touchdown in this regular season game that saw the Chiefs win against the Eagles at home, 27-20.

The Kelces’ teams first faced off in 2013, however, Travis didn’t play due to a knee injury. The Chiefs did win that one in Philadelphia, 26-16.

Cardi B has become one of the biggest stars in hip hop and popular music over the past few years. However, her rise to fame didn’t happen overnight – it was the result of strategic career moves she made early on. While Cardi B’s talent and charisma were undoubtedly major factors in her success, she also utilized savvy self-promotion techniques and took advantage of opportunities that came her way. Looking back at Cardi B’s early career path provides valuable lessons for aspiring artists on effective strategies for breaking through in a competitive industry.

Be Proactive and Seize Opportunities
One of the key strategies Cardi B employed early on was being proactive in putting herself out there and seizing any opportunities that came her way. She didn’t wait passively for success to find her – she actively sought out ways to showcase her talents and get her name recognition. This likely involved hustling for social media features, networking aggressively, and taking on any projects that could raise her profile, even if they weren’t big breaks.

For example, Cardi B auditioned for reality shows like Love & Hip Hop: New York to gain exposure on a popular TV franchise. While reality TV isn’t typically seen as a career-making move for serious artists, Cardi B used her time on the show strategically. She stood out with her bold personality and didn’t hold back in sharing personal details of her life and past career as a stripper. This controversial backstory generated buzz and intrigued viewers, driving interest in who Cardi B was beyond the show.

Cardi B also poured energy into her social media presence in these early years. She engaged directly with fans, shared behind-the-scenes snippets, and promoted her music independently via Instagram and other platforms. This helped build an organic fanbase and proved she was willing to hustle for every opportunity. When the chance came to feature on other artists’ tracks, she eagerly took advantage to get her name out there in the hip hop scene. Being proactive ensured Cardi B was top of mind for future projects and collaborations as her star rose.

Develop a Strong Personal Brand
Another strategic move was Cardi B’s focus on cultivating a distinctive personal brand from the start of her career. Her outspoken and unapologetic personality, along with her unique fashion sense, immediately set her apart in the oversaturated music industry. Cardi B didn’t try to be like other artists – she fully embraced her authentic self and background.

This allowed Cardi B to carve out a niche. Viewers connected with her “regular girl from the Bronx” story and weren’t put off by her past as an exotic dancer since she owned it proudly. Her bold confidence and unfiltered opinions resonated with fans tired of polished, inauthentic personalities. Cardi B came across as real in an era where transparency is valued.

She also wasn’t afraid to discuss taboo topics like sexuality, relationships, and female empowerment through an unabashed lens. This drew intrigue and admiration, especially from younger audiences, while still feeling authentic to Cardi B’s background rather than a calculated image. Her fashion choices, from colorful wigs to risqué outfits, reinforced her as a rule-breaker not confined by expectations. This magnetic personal brand was a big part of drawing people in from her reality TV days through early music releases.

Stay Hungry and Keep Learning
Despite finding success relatively quickly, Cardi B has spoken about maintaining an underdog mentality even after breaking through to the mainstream. She realized complacency was the enemy and has discussed staying humble by continuing to work hard and improve her craft. This likely meant always seeking out mentors more experienced than herself, whether formally through collaborations or informally by observing other artists.

For example, working with seasoned producers no doubt taught Cardi B tricks of the trade as a new artist. Her collaborations with the likes of DJ Khaled and others provided education alongside exposure. She was also willing to put in behind-the-scenes time learning music software to be more independent in the booth.

Cardi B took critiques and feedback seriously too. While confident in her talents, she didn’t assume she had all the answers or was above improving. Staying hungry meant constantly challenging herself creatively rather than resting on past wins. It’s clear Cardi B approached her early career stages as opportunities for growth rather than arriving destinations. Maintaining this student mentality likely helped propel her forward at a rapid pace.

Lessons for Aspiring Artists
Cardi B’s early career provides a blueprint for strategies that can work well for up-and-coming artists. Some key takeaways include:

Be proactive seeking opportunities rather than waiting passively. Create your own chances through hustling on social media, networking aggressively, and showcasing talents on any platform available.

Develop a strong, authentic personal brand from the start. Figure out what makes you unique and run with it unapologetically to stand out in a crowded field.

Use opportunities like reality TV strategically for exposure rather than as the end goal. Leverage platforms to build buzz around your true passion of music.

Stay hungry for growth even after early wins. Continue challenging yourself, seeking mentors, and viewing each stage as a chance to learn rather than arrive.

Own your background fully rather than hiding imperfect parts. Authenticity is valued, so embrace what makes you real.

Cardi B’s rise proves talent alone isn’t enough – savvy career maneuvering is also required. Young artists would be wise to study Cardi B’s early game and apply proactive, strategic techniques to maximize chances of breakthrough success. Her story offers a roadmap for maximizing opportunities that come, as well as creating your own breaks.

Protecting Celeb Kids’ Privacy in the Digital Age

Being a celebrity comes with fame and fortune, but it also means living much of your life in the public eye. For celebrities with children, maintaining their kids’ privacy can be a real challenge in today’s digital world. With the rise of social media and around-the-clock paparazzi, it’s harder than ever for famous parents to shield their children from unwanted publicity and media attention. However, there are some proactive steps celebs can take to help safeguard their offspring’s privacy while still allowing them to have as normal an upbringing as possible.

Limit Social Media Exposure

One of the most effective ways celebrities can protect their children’s privacy is by limiting how much they share about their kids on social media platforms. While many stars enjoy posting photos of their families on Instagram and other sites, oversharing private moments can backfire by subjecting children to unwanted scrutiny from fans and the media. It’s wise for celeb parents to be selective about what they post publicly and avoid including details like school names, extracurricular activities, birthdays and locations that could compromise kids’ safety or anonymity.

Some stars, like Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon, almost never post pictures that clearly show their children’s faces on social media out of privacy concerns. Others, such as Kim Kardashian and Britney Spears, are more liberal with sharing family photos but avoid tagging specific locations. A balanced approach is sharing curated family moments while keeping kids’ identities and whereabouts private as much as possible online. Celebrities should also consider limiting public access to social media accounts and only approving genuine fans as followers to cut down on unwanted attention from strangers.

Controlling Media Access

Another effective tactic is for celebrities to control how much access the traditional media like paparazzi and tabloid journalists have to their children. Some high-profile stars like Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have negotiated agreements with media outlets to avoid photographing or revealing information about their minor kids in exchange for occasional approved family photos the parents provide. Other celebs simply ask the press to respect reasonable boundaries when it comes to their children’s privacy. For example, requesting the media not photograph kids when they’re entering/exiting schools, medical appointments, etc.

Celebrities can also take legal action if boundaries are crossed, like Jennifer Lopez successfully suing a tabloid for publishing unauthorized photos of her twins. Famous parents establishing clear guidelines upfront about what they deem appropriate coverage of their kids versus invasions of privacy helps maintain control of the situation. It sends a message the well-being of children, not publicity opportunities, is the top priority. Of course, some degree of unwanted media attention is inevitable given celeb status. But establishing protocols demonstrates commitment to protecting offspring as much as possible.

Providing Security

For A-list celebrities with significant wealth and public profiles, enhanced security is also important for safeguarding children’s privacy and well-being. High-tech security systems, trained bodyguards and gated communities help ensure kids aren’t put at unnecessary risk from obsessed fans or other potential threats. While increased security may seem excessive to some, it provides peace of mind for famous parents and allows kids to enjoy activities outside the home with less worry about being mobbed or photographed without permission.

Security also helps grant kids some semblance of a normal life by deterring unwanted media intrusions at places like schools, playgrounds and extracurricular activities. The Kardashians for example are known to employ former secret service agents to watch over their children. While security shouldn’t be overbearing, reasonable measures proportionate to threat levels help shield kids from potential dangers that come with having very public parents. Overall, enhanced safety protocols allow celeb children to have fun and learn without the added stress of constant public scrutiny.

Instilling a Sense of Normalcy

While fame and fortune can provide kids with lavish lifestyles, it’s still important for celebrity parents to instill a sense of normalcy in their children’s upbringing as much as possible. This includes enrolling kids in local public or private schools versus homeschooling to allow for socialization with peers. It also means participating in routine family activities like playdates, sports, volunteering and attending community events versus always hiring private chefs, tutors and entertainment.

Celebs like Reese Witherspoon make conscious efforts to raise their children in small towns away from the Hollywood spotlight to foster stability and grounded values. Others prioritize traditions like vacationing at the same beach houses every summer to build family bonds and memories apart from fame. Making time for mundane routines amid hectic schedules also promotes well-adjusted kids. It’s about balancing the perks of wealth and status with relatable experiences to prevent kids from growing up entitled or out of touch from reality. A normal upbringing within reason is key to protecting children’s mental health and privacy long-term.

Teaching Media Literacy

Finally, celebrity parents can take a proactive role in educating their children about navigating fame and the media landscape as they grow older. This includes age-appropriate conversations about consent, privacy and the impact of sharing personal details publicly. Stars like Pink and Jennifer Garner speak openly about teaching media literacy to help kids understand their evolving relationship with publicity as well as responsibilities that come with public profiles. Developmentally-tailored lessons give celeb children tools to protect themselves from potential pitfalls down the road like bullying, exploitation or substance abuse stemming from inability to cope with fame and scrutiny.

Media training also empowers kids to set healthy boundaries for themselves as public figures. For example, understanding they have a right to decline interviews or refuse photographing without parents present. Celeb kids raised with open communication and understanding of how their actions impact privacy stand better chances of carving out normal lives despite living under microscopes. With guidance, they mature into thoughtful young adults capable of navigating fame on their own terms while still respecting need for discretion. Early lessons pave the way for independent decision making with privacy and well-being prioritized.

Finding the Right Balance

At the end of the day, there’s no single perfect solution when it comes to celebrity parents protecting children’s privacy in the digital era. Each famous family has to determine what balance of access versus seclusion works best considering their specific circumstances. The goal is allowing kids to enjoy privileges of wealth responsibly without feeling like prisoners or commodities. It’s about granting agency to set boundaries as they grow up cognizant of repercussions in the court of public opinion. With open communication, reasonable safeguards and teaching media literacy, celebrity offspring can hopefully avoid pitfalls of child stardom while still occasionally sharing life’s joyous moments with admiring fans from a safe distance.

Overall, moderation and discretion are key. Oversharing risks subjecting kids to unnecessary judgment and invasions. But avoiding publicity altogether risks cultivating resentment and disconnect from reality down the line. With nuanced, tailored approaches factoring kids’ evolving needs, famous parents can hope to grant a semblance of anonymity amid fame. It sets children up for healthy adulthoods navigating notoriety on their own terms with understanding of both privileges and responsibilities. In the social media age, privacy will always be a challenge. But through proactive steps celebs demonstrate commitment to protecting what truly matters – children’s wellbeing and normal development.
