A few days ago, the video of Travis chugging a can of beer during what looked like their convocation ceremony made rounds on social media and he received a lot of flak for his behavior, with people calling it immature and childish.

However, as per Jason, it wasn’t their graduation ceremony but the end of a New Heights Live podcast that they hosted live at the University of Cincinnati to raise money for the University’s NIL. It was made to look like a convocation by the University, taking a jibe at Jason and Travis for not picking up their diplomas. Both of them, during an episode of New Heights, had already clarified that it wasn’t a real graduation. However, Travis’s abysmal chug was dunked on by his older brother.

Showing everyone how you really chug a beer, Jason posted a video of former Jets Center Nick Mangold, chugging beer from a can at a Rangers’ playoff game, with a caption praising Nick’s chugging technique and intensity and expressing his love for the NHL. One-time Super Bowl said,

“Beautiful!! @nickmangoldthe intensity of this chug and the sweater just take it to a whole other level, damn I love NHL playoffs!!”

Jason’s love for hockey stems from his playing the sport during his school days. Both he and Trav have talked about their love for the NHL many times on the podcast.

Jason Kelce NHL Connection

Jason Kelce is revered in Philadelphia for his love for the city and its sporting culture. Often seen wearing the orange of the Philadelphia Flyers, the NHL team based in the city, the 6-time First Team All-Pro Center’s love for hockey started when he was young and used to play the sport during his youth before switching to football completely.

During an earlier episode of the New Height podcast, the Super Bowl winner had the pleasure of laying his hands, kissing, and even hugging the holy grail of all trophies- the mighty Stanley Cup. However, keeping with the sacred tradition, he didn’t hoist the trophy, something which is only reserved for the winners. He even put Bennett, his youngest daughter inside the cup.

Now retired, he has the opportunity to watch the games regularly and even chug as many beers as he can. Both Travis and him have earned the right to live and enjoy their life any way they want.

In a shocking development, Beyoncé has come forward with evidence confirming that her husband, Jay Z, once harbored romantic feelings for pop icon Rihanna. This revelation has sparked widespread media attention and discussion about the dynamics within some of the music industry’s most high-profile relationships.

The evidence, presented by Beyoncé in a recent interview, includes emails and personal statements that suggest Jay Z was infatuated with Rihanna during the early stages of her career. This period coincides with when Rihanna was signed to Def Jam Recordings, then helmed by Jay Z. The disclosed communications hint at Jay Z’s admiration and personal affection towards Rihanna, adding a layer of complexity to their professional interactions.

Beyoncé’s decision to reveal these details comes at a time when both she and Jay Z have been viewed as a solid, unshakeable partnership in both their personal lives and their music careers. This revelation, however, paints a different picture of their past, showing the vulnerabilities and challenges they have faced.

During the interview, Beyoncé expressed that her intention behind sharing this information was not to create controversy but to bring transparency and closure to this chapter in their lives. She emphasized the strength of their relationship and how they have grown together, overcoming personal and professional hurdles.

“Jay and I have worked through it, and we have talked everything through. It was important for us to move forward as a united family,” Beyoncé stated. She also noted that her relationship with Rihanna has always been based on mutual respect and professionalism, regardless of the past feelings between Rihanna and Jay Z.

Rihanna has not yet commented on the situation, and it remains unclear how this revelation will impact her current relationship with both Beyoncé and Jay Z. Meanwhile, representatives for Jay Z have called for privacy and respect during this time, emphasizing that the focus should remain on their artistic contributions and not on personal history.

The music community and fans around the world are now reevaluating the dynamics of past collaborations and public appearances by Jay Z, Beyoncé, and Rihanna. As the story unfolds, it continues to raise questions about the balance of personal relationships within the competitive atmosphere of the music industry.

Even as Travis Kelce has become a household name around the world, he still finds time to play the role of doting uncle.

During a Monday, February 19, interview on Australia’s Today Show, Travis’ father, Ed Kelce, explained how family time with the Kelces is all about son Jason Kelce’s three young daughters — who clearly love their dad’s famous brother.

“It all revolves around the girls, the granddaughters, as you can imagine,” Ed said. “Who have, not surprisingly, both their grandfathers and their father wrapped around their fingers. They can do whatever they want. And they have their Uncle Trav wrapped around their fingers when he shows up.”

Jason, 36, and wife Kylie Kelce share daughters Wyatt, 4, Ellie, 2, and Bennett, 11 months.While Ed further explained that anything going on in Jason’s residence in Philadelphia is “centered on family,” things are a bit different when he visits Travis, 34, in Kansas City.

“We’ve had some good barbecues out there and enjoyed it,” Ed said. “He has a lot of friends that will show up. It seems like there’s always somebody from back home in Kansas City.”

Ed and ex-wife Donna Kelce raised their two sons in Cleveland Heights, Ohio, which bred the name of their highly successful podcast “New Heights.”

“The boys have been very fortunate,” Ed continued. “They have a very tight circle of friends that they grew up with that they see a lot. People that have been important in their life that have helped shape them into the young men they are. They never forget that.”

On the topic of Travis’ relationship with girlfriend Taylor Swift, Ed hinted that his son might soon be jetting off to the Land Down Under to see Swift, also 34, perform on her ongoing Eras Tour.“Well, look, we spoke after the Super Bowl, and I asked him, ‘Are you going to take off for Sydney?’ and he seemed keen,” Ed told the Sydney Morning Herald in an interview published on Tuesday, February 20. “He said he’d really like to see Sydney and Singapore, but he wasn’t sure because he has commitments.”

Whatever the case, Travis better make up his mind quickly, because Taylor’s tour hits Sydney’s Accor Stadium for four consecutive nights beginning Friday, February 23. From there, she heads to Singapore for a run of six dates beginning Saturday, March 2.

Earlier this month, a source exclusively told Us Weekly that Travis “will be joining Taylor [Swift] on her tour and traveling with her.”

Clock’s ticking, Uncle Trav.

Ed Kelce tells ET that his nieces will ‘flip over’ meeting the singer.

Despite some reports circulating, Taylor Swift has not met all of Travis Kelce’s family. While the 33-year-old singer has became fast friends with the Kansas City Chiefs tight end’s mother, Donna Kelce, and has been introduced to his father, Ed Kelce, she’s yet to meet Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, and his wife and kids.

This has a lot to do with the fact that it’s football season and Jason — who is married to Kylie Kelce and has three daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte and Bennett — is the starting center for the Philadelphia Eagles.

ET’s Nischelle Turner recently spoke with Travis and Jason’s dad, Ed, who revealed that Taylor has yet to meet his three granddaughters. “They’ll flip over [meeting her],” he says of when the introduction does happen. “No doubt.”

As for whether Ed or his granddaughters have seen Taylor’s concert film, Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, he admits there isn’t much time for that right now. “During the middle of a NFL season? It’s tough to get time to do it,” he notes. “I mean, it all kind of revolves around the games and the boys.”

During a recent interview with NBC Sports’ Peter King, Jason expressed his concern about the fan and media frenzy surrounding Travis and Taylor’s relationship.

“It’s certainly been weird, the level that it is now,” the 35-year-old athlete said. “On one hand, I’m happy for my brother that he seems to be in a relationship that he’s excited about, that he is genuine about. But there’s another end of it where it’s like, ‘Man, this is a lot.’”

Jason continued, “There’s paparazzi talking about him fueling his car before the game today and I’m like, ‘Is that really necessary information to share?’ This is another level of stardom that typically football players don’t deal with.”

Clearly concerned for his younger brother, Jason added, “So, on one hand, [I’m] really, really happy for my brother and where he’s at in his current situation with Taylor. But on the other hand, there’s some, I think, alarms sometimes with how you know, over-in-pursuit people can be.”

That being said, Jason is confident that that he knows 34-year-old Travis “can deal with some of this,” so “long as it’s not, you know, becoming a threat to his safety and things like that.”

Richard Hamilton Says Derrick Rose Was The Most Talented Player He Played With

Richard Hamilton Lauds Derrick Rose: “The Most Talented Player I Played With

In an electrifying revelation from former NBA star Richard Hamilton, Derrick Rose has been named as the most talented player Hamilton ever shared the court with. This statement not only rekindles memories of Rose’s explosive performances but also underscores a career that has been both spectacular and tumultuous.

Derrick Rose, the youngest player ever to win the NBA MVP award at the age of 22, demonstrated a level of athleticism and skill that mesmerized fans and opponents alike. His career, however, has been a rollercoaster of incredible highs and heart-wrenching lows due to numerous injuries. Despite these setbacks, Rose’s resilience and ability to overcome adversity have been nothing short of inspirational.

Richard Hamilton, a notable figure in the NBA with a championship under his belt from his time with the Detroit Pistons, played alongside Rose during the 2011-2012 NBA season with the Chicago Bulls. It was during this season that Hamilton witnessed firsthand the sheer talent and work ethic that Rose possessed. According to Hamilton, “Derrick had a way of elevating the game that was just extraordinary. His speed, agility, and basketball IQ were off the charts.”

This high praise from a seasoned veteran like Hamilton not only highlights Rose’s exceptional talent but also reflects on his influence in the game. Despite the physical challenges, Rose’s impact on the court remains a testament to his undying passion for basketball.

The story of Derrick Rose continues to inspire aspiring athletes and serves as a poignant reminder of the relentless pursuit of greatness, irrespective of the obstacles. As Rose’s career progresses, his legacy as one of the most gifted players in NBA history continues to grow, enriched by the admiration and respect of teammates like Richard Hamilton.

Engaging with this narrative, we are reminded of the unpredictable nature of sports where talent thrives amidst trials, and legends are formed not just by victories, but by the courage to persist against all odds.

Patrick Mahomes’s Favorite Comedies: A Deeper Look at the Films that Make Him Laugh

[bg_collapse view=”button-orange” color=”#4a4949″ expand_text=”Show More” collapse_text=”Show Less” ]

Patrick Mahomes is widely considered one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. As the star player for the Kansas City Chiefs, he has cemented himself as a Super Bowl champion and league MVP at just 26 years old. Off the field, Mahomes enjoys unwinding by watching comedic films that help him relax and find humor. In interviews, he has openly shared his fondness for several classics in the comedy genre. Step Brothers, The Hangover, and Bridesmaids top Mahomes’s list as some of his all-time favorite laugh-out-loud movies. While these films may seem like lighthearted entertainment on the surface, a closer examination reveals they offer more depth and insight into Mahomes’s comedic tastes.

Step Brothers (2008)

One of Mahomes’s go-to feel-good comedies is the raunchy 2008 film Step Brothers. Directed by Adam McKay and starring Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly, Step Brothers follows two overgrown man-children, Brennan Huff and Dale Doback, who are forced to live together as stepbrothers when their single parents marry. The film is a non-stop barrage of absurd gags, physical humor, and immature antics as Brennan and Dale act more like temperamental toddlers than adults in their late 30s.

On the surface, Step Brothers seems like a simple slapstick comedy built around Ferrell and Reilly’s talent for improvisation and physical comedy. However, the film also works as a sharp satire of arrested development and dysfunctional family dynamics. Brennan and Dale never matured past their adolescent mindsets and still act like competitive boys vying for their parents’ approval. The film pokes fun at how some people never fully transition into responsible adulthood. It also highlights the challenges of blending families later in life.

The creative partnership between Ferrell and director McKay also adds nuanced layers to Step Brothers. Their films often use absurd premises to comment on societal issues like capitalism, toxic masculinity, and the American dream gone wrong. In Step Brothers, Brennan and Dale represent overgrown man-children clinging to childhood in an increasingly complex world that passed them by. While the film delivers endless gut-busting laughs, it also serves as a critique of stunted growth. This adds insightful depth beyond just silly slapstick.

For Mahomes, Step Brothers strikes the perfect balance of absurdity and intelligence. “It’s one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen,” he said. “Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly have such great comedic chemistry. Even after watching it dozens of times, I still catch something new that makes me laugh.” The film’s ability to make such profound commentary feel effortlessly hilarious is why Mahomes continues to find new joy in Step Brothers each viewing. Its multilayered comedy speaks to his discerning comedic tastes beyond just gut-busting gags.

The Hangover (2009)

Another staple of Mahomes’s movie rotation is the 2009 raunchy black comedy The Hangover. Directed by Todd Phillips, The Hangover follows a bachelor party gone off the rails in Las Vegas. On the morning after, groomsmen Phil, Stu, Alan, and soon-to-be groom Doug wake up with pounding headaches and no memory of the previous night’s events. What follows is a mad scramble to piece together what happened as they encounter a series of absurd mishaps and mistaken identities.

On the surface, The Hangover delivers non-stop cringe-worthy laughs as the characters endure one outrageous scenario after another. However, the film also works as a clever deconstruction of toxic masculinity. The all-male characters engage in foolish risk-taking and macho bravado that leads to increasingly disastrous consequences. Their night of “boys just being boys” spirals into chaos, highlighting the immaturity and lack of responsibility that fuels their behavior. The film serves as a cautionary tale of how masculinity gone wrong can wreak havoc.

The Hangover also subverts expectations with its unpredictable plot twists. As the characters retrace their steps, new absurd revelations continuously unfold, keeping audiences constantly guessing. This element of surprise keeps the comedy feeling fresh with each viewing. For Mahomes, the film’s ability to still surprise him after multiple watches is a big part of its rewatchability. “I love trying to figure out the clues and piece together what happened before the big reveals,” he said. “It always finds new ways to surprise me.”

The creative team also infuses The Hangover with heart and nuance beyond just raunchy gags. Strong themes of friendship, responsibility, and learning from mistakes give the story resonance. It serves as both a wild comedic ride and a thoughtful commentary. This depth is part of what elevates The Hangover beyond a simple frat boy comedy in Mahomes’ eyes. Its multilayered approach to genre conventions through subversion and commentary speaks to his discerning comedic palate.

Bridesmaids (2011)

Another favorite in Mahomes’ repertoire is the 2011 female-driven comedy Bridesmaids. Written by Annie Mumolo and Kristen Wiig (who also stars), Bridesmaids helped usher in a new era of raunchy female-fronted comedies. The film follows Annie, a bakery owner struggling with financial troubles and a broken engagement. She agrees to serve as maid of honor for her best friend Lillian but finds her life spiraling out of control as she tries in vain to plan the perfect wedding.

On the surface, Bridesmaids delivers gut-busting laughs through cringe-worthy scenarios like the infamous food poisoning scene. However, the film also offers nuanced commentary on modern female relationships and societal expectations. Annie grapples with the pressures of being a good friend while also facing her own insecurities. The complex dynamics between Annie and the other bridesmaids feel authentic in capturing the highs and lows of real-life female friendships.

Bridesmaids also subverts expectations through its talented ensemble cast. Stars like Wiig, Mumolo, Melissa McCarthy, Ellie Kemper, and Wendi McLendon-Covey deliver hilarious performances while also feeling like fully realized characters. Their comedic talents elevate the material beyond just raunchy gags. Mahomes praised the film for showing “how funny and complex women can be when given the chance.” For the first time, a mainstream comedy offered audiences an authentic and hilarious vision of the female experience told from a woman’s perspective, without pandering to the male gaze.

This representation resonated deeply with Mahomes. “I loved seeing strong, funny women at the center of such a great comedy,” he said. “It proved that female-led stories and characters can be just as hilarious as anything else.” The film’s willingness to showcase women’s lives, relationships, and humor in an authentic light, without compromise, is part of what Mahomes finds so groundbreaking and appealing about Bridesmaids’ comedy.

In conclusion, Patrick Mahomes’s favorite comedies like Step Brothers, The Hangover, and Bridesmaids offer more than just gut-busting laughs on the surface. A closer examination reveals they infuse absurdist humor with insightful social commentary and nuanced character work. They subvert expectations through unpredictable plots and creative storytelling choices. For Mahomes, these films strike the perfect balance of delivering non-stop comedy while also feeling intelligent and thoughtful. Their willingness to push boundaries and offer new perspectives is part of what makes them such enduring classics in his eyes. Even after repeat viewings, he continues to find new layers of humor, commentary, and surprises. These comedies offer Mahomes the perfect blend of escapism and entertainment through their multidimensional approaches to the genre.

A lip reader has revealed Taylor Swift’s conversations with Travis Kelce at Coachella, revealing all the fun the pop star had at the iconic music festival this past weekend.

 

Jackie Gonzalez, a deaf TikToker who posts videos of her lip reading celebrities, has shared what Swift, 34, allegedly said in a series of videos taken from the festival.

According to Jackie, Taylor was having the absolute time of her life as she introduced fans to her boyfriend, 34, cheered on the musical artists, sang her own song Karma, before declaring she was ‘drunk.’

The video began with Taylor walking with her boyfriend’s arm slung around her shoulder as she enthusiastically gushed to fans, ‘Hi!’

Despite being an A-lister, Taylor couldn’t believe she was receiving the star treatment as she and her boyfriend were placed right in front of the stage.

‘Oh my God, we’re in the front!?’ Taylor allegedly said in disbelief.

She was also adorably seen introducing one fan to her boyfriend. ‘This is Travis!’ she told one concert goer.

Taylor also sang along to her own song, Karma, before enthusiastically letting out a cheer.

At one point, the giddy star was seen telling Travis: ‘That was the best thing to happen tonight. Sorry I’m drunk.’

She then departed the area with her boyfriend, cheering.

Jackie captioned the video: ‘check on your swifties, were not okay,’ along with the disclaimer, ‘Lip reading is not a reliable form of communication, all statements are alleged.’

This is the first time Swift has attended the music festival since 2016.

Meanwhile Kelce was seen at the event in 2022 and 2023 with some of his friends.

Taylor had quite the epic weekend attending the festival with her boyfriend.

Among the highlights was a run-in with Real Housewives Of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice.

Taylor posed for a selfie with the Bravolebrity in a photo that was taken by Teresa’s husband Luis Ruelas.

Travis was also seen effortlessly lifting Taylor into the air as they danced to a set by DJ Dom Dolla.

The pair were also spotted watching Taylor’s pal Jack Antonoff’s band, Bleachers, perform at the festival on Saturday.

The couple were also seen attending the celeb-packed Neon Carnival bash.

Kelce recently told People that he is a ‘Coachella guy’.

‘I love going to Coachella. I love live music in general. So you might see me pop up over there at some point.

‘I’m not sure if I’ll go to a weekend, one or two, or if I even have time knowing my schedule’s filling up pretty quick before we get started back up for football here.’

Taylor and Travis have been dating since September 2023.

Jason and Kylie are parents to daughters Bennett, Elliotte and Wyatt

Jason Kelce and his family are continuing to make memories together on the football field.

The Philadelphia Eagles center, 36, was photographed with wife Kylie, 31, and the couple’s three girls — Bennett, 11 months, Elliotte, 2½, and Wyatt, 4 — as the family of five attended the Pro Bowl together in Orlando, Florida.

Jason and Kylie pose together, with the football star holding his daughter Bennett’s hand. Wyatt, who stands barefoot just like her dad, poses on the other side of Bennett, holding her other hand while Kylie holds baby Bennie.

Jason can also be seen playing with his daughters, twirling them around and running barefoot through the turf field.

In another video, Elliotte receives a bracelet from a female athlete, who reminds the toddler that girls can also play the sport. After receiving the bracelet, Ellie adorably runs to her dad, who lifts her onto his hip.

The Pro Bowl wasn’t the only fun the Kelce family had in Florida. All five Kelces enjoyed some time together at Walt Disney World Resort, posing for a family photo with Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Jason repped Mickey on his shirt, while Elliotte and Wyatt, whom he held in each arm, rocked the park’s signature mouse ears.

The two girls also enjoyed some classic Disney snacks — a hot pretzel and churro — while Bennett posed with mom Kylie.

And while the Kelce kids were all smiles in their photo with the famous mice, meeting Frozen characters Elsa and Anna was priority No. 1 for the family — and particularly eldest daughter Wyatt.

After arriving in Orlando for his seventh career Pro Bowl appearance last week, the NFL star told PHLY reporter Zach Berman, “I don’t even know what you do in the Pro Bowl anymore. But it’s down in Orlando, so I get to take my kids to Walt Disney World.”

“Not off-the-Super Bowl Walt Disney World, but as long as Wyatt gets to see Elsa, I don’t think it really matters,” he added.
