Sister Wives star Kody Brown might be gone from Janelle Brown‘s life, but her new post reveals that he’s not easily forgotten while in her new Taeda Farms home. Then Janelle went even further by sharing what these memories made her realize about herself.

Sister Wives: Kody Brown Memories Unwrapped

After all the excitment of building her new home, Janelle Brown is now in the decorating stage. Sister Wives fans express how excited they are for Janelle’s new beginning after leaving Kody Brown.

In a recent post Janelle shared what she is planning to hang on her walls. Some of these things she hasn’t seen since she packed them away and moved into the RV a few years back.

Her brand new sprawling home has lots of walls to decorate, and Janelle has plenty of things to do so. But as she started to unwrap her wall-worthy art, it dawned on her that many of these paintings and prints came to her as a gift from Kody Brown through the years.

Her mood was upbeat when first starting to talk about decorating her new home. But then a bit of a melancholy tone seemed to seep into her voice as she shared the pieces of art on her video post.

Janelle Brown’s Bitter-Sweet Epiphany

Sister Wives fans learned something new about Janelle while watching her short post. At the same time Janelle learned something new about herself. She hadn’t noticed this before, but she has a theme going with her art.

And drumroll, please… that theme is “cowboys.” Much of the artwork Janelle has to hang upon her walls contains images of cowboys on and off their horses.

Hmmm… maybe that is Janelle’s type of guy? It seemed to surprise her once she realized she had a lot of cowboy images in her decor.

Sister Wives: Who Created the Theme – Janelle or Kody?

Janelle divulged to her Sister Wives fans that many of these pieces of artwork came from Kody Brown. They were presents he gave her for her birthday and other occasions through the three decades they were together.

So, because Kody gifted various cowboy artwork to Janelle, fans wonder if this was her theme or one that Kody created for her.

Janelle shared that she loved her cowboy paintings and prints. So, whether or not Kody gave her a head start in this theme doesn’t seem to matter if she loves them.

The fact that she plans to display them on the walls of her new house seems to speak to her love of the cowboy theme. Fans joke that this could be the precursor to Janelle’s next relationship.

But the big question from the Sister Wives fans today is… Where is Janelle Brown’s cowboy boot lamp going to go in her new Taeda Farms home?

2026 is only four months old, but it’s safe to say that Wuthering Heights, Emerald Fennell‘s risque adaptation of Emily Brontë’s beloved 1847 novel, is the year’s most controversial movie. (Sorry, The Super Mario Galaxy Movie.)

With sex scenes not included in the novel, and numerous suggestive shots of ripe, juicy fruits standing in for assorted body parts, the overwrought romantic drama struck a chord with viewers, propelling it to an impressive $241 million worldwide box office gross.

Not everyone fell in love with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi‘s torrid romance, but if you haven’t seen it yet, you’ll soon get a chance to decide if it was worth all the social media flame wars and hand-wringing op-ed pieces.

Wuthering Heights is about to debut on streaming, and Watch With Us has all the details you need to know.

Jacob Elordi and Margot Robbie’s undeniable sexual tension explodes in an official trailer and a brand new poster for Wuthering Heights. The duo star in Saltburn writer-director Emerald Fennell’s adaptation of the 1847 romance novel by Emily Brontë as one of the most beloved couples in literary history — Catherine Earnshaw and the orphan heartthrob […]

When Can I Stream ‘Wuthering Heights’?

You won’t have to wait too long to see two of Australia’s best actors fall in love with each other in late 18th-century England. Wuthering Heights is slated to debut on May 1.

What Streaming Platform Is ‘Wuthering Heights’ On?

Because it was released by Warner Bros., Wuthering Heights will debut first on HBO Max. In the distant future, it could become available on rival streamers like Prime Video or Netflix pending studio-to-studio licensing deals, but you can bet HBO Max will be the movie’s streaming home for 2026 and beyond.

What Is ‘Wuthering Heights’ About?

Wait, you didn’t read Wuthering Heights in high school? Well, lucky you. Here’s how WB describes the 2026 version:

“A bold and original interpretation of one of the greatest love stories of all time, Emerald Fennell’s Wuthering Heights stars Margot Robbie as Catherine ‘Cathy’ Earnshaw and Jacob Elordi as Heathcliff, whose forbidden passion for one another turns from romantic to intoxicating in an epic tale of lust, love and madness.”

Why is their love forbidden? Well, Heathcliffe starts out poor, and Cathy is loaded. Also, they’re kinda brother and sister? They aren’t related by blood, but they do grow up together, which makes their subsequent romances feel a little … odd.

Thank You!

Is ‘Wuthering Heights’ Worth Seeing?

Yes. I’m not going to lie to you — I didn’t think it was all that successful. Robbie is a little too old and vibrant to play Cathy, the epitome of the young heroine in Gothic literature. (There’s a reason why Kate Bush‘s song “Wuthering Heights” was such a hit — you believe the brunette Bush was singing as Cathy, pining for her Heathcliffe.) Elordi fares better, but his casting is problematic, too.

Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” begins with a sexually charged public hanging. Needless to say, it’s obvious from the opening seconds anyone who missed the memo from the horny trailer will quickly understand that this version of the English classic will take some liberties. That’s what those quotes around the title are for, after all. Book […]

Still, the movie looks great, and it’s never boring. It’s always throwing wild ideas at the screen, even if most of them don’t stick. The pop soundtrack by Charli XCX is killer as well, with the song “Chains of Love” becoming an anthem for all lovelorn souls around the world. If you’re looking for a bold adaptation that is both faithful to the source but updates it with a modern sensibility, check out Andrea Arnold‘s terrific 2011 adaptation on Tubi and YouTube.

Kenya Moore is speaking out after video footage surfaced showing items getting removed from her hair spa. The former ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ star released a statement addressing the clip and revealed she’s been moving out amid an ongoing legal dispute.

Kenya Moore Speaks Out After Hair Spa Footage Surfaces

Hours after a clip surfaced showing items getting removed from Kenya Moore’s hair spa, she addressed the situation in a statement. The reality star said she’s actually moving out of the space because her landlord allegedly failed to reimburse her money. Kenya also said her court outfit is ready as she reportedly plans to file a countersuit.

“I have spent the last several weeks moving out of my salon as a result of my ongoing legal battle with the landlord who has failed to reimburse me nearly $80K of improvement funds I am rightfully owed. My only recourse was to withhold rent and file a countersuit. I already have my outfit laid out for court chile!” Kenya said in her statement.

From there, she thanked fans for supporting her business and says her salon might be closing, but she’s gearing up to twirl into a whole new era. “To all the amazing women and men who came in and twirled out in style, thank you from the bottom of my heart!” Moore continued, “The salon chapter is closing, trust me, it’s not the end. It’s just the beginning of a new era. Stay tuned for what’s next!” 

Brit Eady Throws Shade Amid Kenya’s Salon Clear-Out

Before Kenya Moore addressed the footage of items being removed from her salon, her former ‘RHOA’ co-star Brit Eady weighed in with a few words of her own. Brit dropped a video on social media showing herself pulling up in her whip while boxes sat stacked outside the space. In her caption, she wrote, “Never win when you play dirty.” Her reaction comes after she previously accused Kenya of sharing explicit photos of her during her salon event in 2024. See the video of Brit Eady below.

Here’s What Kenya Previously Said About Her Salon Dispute

The footage of items coming out of Kenya Moore’s salon follows TMZ’s report that she owed her landlord $87,976. In April 2025, landlord Northland Chamblee LLC filed an eviction lawsuit, asking for $30,000 in back rent and claiming Kenya stopped making payments in December 2024. By October, that number reportedly climbed to more than $44,000. Kenya Moore Hair Spa argued against the claims and said the landlord never made the promised improvements to the space. A Georgia judge later gave Kenya two deadlines to pay $43,988 by the end of February and another $43,988 by the end of March. The judge also ordered her company to keep paying about $5,500 a month in rent unless she moved out.

After Kenya missed those court-ordered payments, the eviction process moved forward. From the looks of Brit Eady’s video, that process appears to have started this week. Back in February, Kenya denied owing her landlord and said her landlord actually owed her. She also claimed she spent six figures building her salon and was never reimbursed.

“The reports about me being behind on rent are false. As I have stated before, my company is in an active lawsuit against my salon landlord for failing to pay nearly $80,000 in tenant improvement allowance OWED TO ME. I invested over $300,000 of my own money to build out my salon in a commercial space from a white box. When the landlord failed to reimburse contractual expenses, I withheld rent in an effort to reach a fair settlement, and subsequently filed a countersuit for the amount they failed to reimburse.”

Britney Spears‘ sons have courted controversy over their decision to move into their mother’s home.

Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, reportedly made the move while the singer is in rehab and are said to be acting as though they own the place.

While it’s unclear whether Britney Spears gave them permission or if they did so of their own accord, the optics of it all have been poorly received by observers.

Britney Spears’ Sons Are Acting Like They Own Her Place

Britney Spears’ strained relationship with her children is well-documented, including how they relocated to Hawaii with their father, Kevin Federline, in 2023 amid their issues.

With Spears now away in rehab, her sons have moved back into her mansion in Los Angeles, a move that is now raising eyebrows, particularly over their behavior in the residence.

“The boys didn’t ease in — there was no transition period, no testing the waters. They moved straight into the mansion like it was already theirs,” a source told Rob Shuter’s “Naughty But Nice” Substack about Spears’ sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.

According to the source, the young adults are indulging in all the perks available and are doing so in a manner that is glaring to observers.

“We’re talking about living rent-free in a massive estate, driving her expensive cars, coming and going as they please, enjoying every perk that comes with being Britney Spears’ sons — it’s not exactly subtle,” the source continued.

The Singer’s Sons’ Actions Have Raised Eyebrows

The optics of it all don’t seem to have rubbed off well on observers, especially those who are sympathetic to Spears’ current rehab situation.

“While their mom is away getting help and trying to reset her life, it looks like someone else is living very comfortably under her roof — and people are noticing,” an insider told the journalist.

It hasn’t helped that earlier reports had revealed that Spears’ sons were the ones who pushed for their mother to go for rehab.

While at the time it was seen as her sons being concerned about her well-being, it is not being speculated as them hoping to take advantage of her absence.

“It was their idea for Britney to go to rehab,” one source claims. “They pushed for it, said it was what she needed… and now you look at the situation and can’t help but ask questions about how this all lined up.”

Britney Spears Checked Into Rehab Earlier In The Month

News of Spears checking into rehab was confirmed on Sunday, April 12, and the decision was described as a voluntary action from the singer, per People Magazine.

It came five weeks after her arrest in Ventura, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs.

“Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time,” read the statement from her representative at the time.

The Singer’s Sons Will Be ‘Spending Time With Her’ While She’s In Rehab

While it is unclear whether Spears’ sons have visited her since she entered rehab, the statement from her representative suggested they would do so regularly.

“Her boys are going to be spending time with her,” the singer’s rep said in their statement.

“Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well-being,” added the rep, who didn’t reveal the location of Spears’ treatment facility.

Britney Spears Has Sparked Concerns Over Her Erratic Behavior In Recent Years

Spears’ DUI arrest appeared to be the breaking point after a string of erratic behavior she has displayed since being released from her conservatorship.

Much of this behavior has played out on social media, including posting near-nude images and dancing with knives.

There have also been public incidents, such as leaving a restaurant with a wine glass and fighting with her then-boyfriend, Paul Richard Soliz.

All of this, and more, seemingly prompted Spears’ ex-husband to call for an urgent intervention for the singer in his memoir last year.

“It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour,” Federline wrote in the book. “Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

When Disney first purchased 21st Century Fox back in 2019, many fans became concerned that the Fox-owned Marvel properties, such as Deadpool and X-Men, would be unceremoniously snapped out of existence. Our fears were briefly quelled when Deadpool & Wolverine arrived in theaters, offering the same loud and brash merc’ with a mouth that we know and love, just in a fresh new timeline. Unfortunately, Deadpool actor Ryan Reynolds has come forward to confirm that we’ll likely never get another mainline Deadpool adventure again, as Disney is relegating the antihero to supporting character roles.

During a recent interview on Sunday Today, Reynolds was asked about the future of Deadpool in the MCU. He explained “I have some stuff kind of written, but I don’t think I am going to ever center him again. I think he’s a supporting character, you know? He’s a guy who is great in a group.” With this news, fans can basically drop all hope of a Deadpool 4 outing at Disney.

Needs A Compelling Arc For Another Lead Role To Work

For most hardcore fans, this framing comes off as pretty bizarre. Though Deadpool is often seen alongside the X-Men in the Marvel Comics, the foul-mouthed gunslinger is primarily not known for being “great in a group.” In fact, the whole narrative of the Deadpool film trilogy centers on Wade Wilson being impossible to tolerate, at least as far as other Marvel heroes are concerned. Plus, his fast-talking quips and fourth wall breaks would be pretty out of place during the events of Avengers: Endgame or Captain America: Brave New World.

Still, the new comments seem to confirm what Reynolds has been saying for some time. In fact, back in 2024, the spandex-clad football club owner explained why he’s shying away from the prospect of a fourth Deadpool film in a profile with The Hollywood Reporter. “Centering Deadpool works best if you take everything away from him and put his back against the wall,” he explained. “I can’t really do that again. A fourth time feels a little iterative and redundant. That doesn’t mean sacrificing fun. There is still an arc for Deadpool which is fulfilling and powerful.”

Too Lucrative To Completely Abandon

Now that Deadpool has been integrated into the expanded cinematic universe of the Avengers, many fans are expecting him to appear in upcoming ensemble projects like Avengers: Doomsday and Secret Wars. At this time, there’s no way of knowing just how much screen time the character will get, especially as the MCU continues to expand. Even if Reynolds is convinced that we’ll never see Deadpool front and center again, it seems unlike Disney to shy away from such a profitable venture. Deadpool & Wolverine pulled in over $1.3 billion at the box office, and currently holds the distinction of highest-grossing R-rated movie in history.

The best case scenario is probably another team-up movie, where Deadpool latches onto (and subsequently annoys) another primary Marvel hero. Maybe after the dust settles on the next pair of Avengers films, we’ll finally see Wade irritating Spider-Man in a feature film. Maybe we could even see him face off against some of his greatest comic book foes like Taskmaster, Thanos, and Death herself.

The reason movies like Castaway (2000) and The Martian (2015) are such compelling watches is because it’s so fun to watch smart people solve problems. It’s the kind of wish fulfillment that makes sense to me on a molecular level. I worked as a corporate office drone in a previous professional life, and I can tell you with absolute certainty that about 80 percent of people are terrible at their jobs. When you run into somebody who can effortlessly navigate proprietary software without a moment of hesitation, it’s a borderline erotic experience.

That is all to say that when I fired up 2025’s War of the Worlds on Amazon Prime Video, despite the many warnings from my friends and loved ones, I actually felt hopeful that it wouldn’t be as terrible as its 4 percent critical score on Rotten Tomatoes made it out to be. I’m a strong advocate of giving misunderstood films a second chance, and War of the Worlds has that “damn, he’s good” element that I have so much fun tagging along for.

Truth be told, if Ice Cube released a three-hour film of him just performing data entry at a high level, I’d buy it on Blu-ray. He’s just a smart guy solving problems, and the way he navigates the many computer systems and networks at his disposal is straight-up poetry in wide-rimmed glasses.

The problem with War of the Worlds, though, isn’t Ice Cube’s, or anybody else’s performance for that matter. It’s the whole damn movie.

War of the Worlds plays out like 2014’s Open Windows, written and directed by Nacho Vigalondo, and starring Elijah Wood and Sasha Grey. Both films are screenlife thrillers, meaning we’re watching the entire film through devices in found footage-fashion. Where Open Windows succeeds, however, War of the Worlds fails miserably.

Open Windows stays enthralling because there are few characters, a very localized conspiracy, and a level of second-hand suspense generated through its voyeuristic framework. War of the Worlds takes place in the middle of a worldwide alien invasion, and it somehow feels like the stakes are lower. This could just be a genre limitation, but the whole screenlife and found footage approach seems to work much better on a micro level than a macro one.

The plot itself is rough, but there’s actually room for interesting storytelling here, which is why War of the Worlds is such a tough pill to swallow. Most of the story is told from Will Radford’s (Ice Cube) perspective. He’s a high-level employee working for the Department of Homeland Security, and he has remote access to surveillance software that allows him to watch just about anyone in excruciating detail.

One thing that I loved about this movie, not even kidding, is how good Will is at his job while also being a working-class, widowed father. He uses the technology at his disposal to keep tabs on his pregnant daughter Faith (Iman Benson), his conspiracy-theory-obsessed son Dave (Henry Hunter Hall), and Mark Goodman (Devon Bosick), Faith’s boyfriend and an Amazon delivery driver. One thing that feels realistic about Will’s position is that he’s constantly spying on his children, not out of malice, but because after his wife passed away he started overcompensating by making sure everybody else in his family is safe.

To me, this is the real story that needs to be told, and you don’t need to make H.G. Wells spin in his grave by violating his legacy one crappy CGI alien tripod at a time. As Will deals with family drama, he’s switching tabs, cracking passwords, accessing surveillance cameras, and killing it at his job tracking down hackers and cyber threats. I cannot stress this enough, I love watching Ice Cube navigate his elaborate setup with the grace of a gold medal figure skater, staring his family down through FaceTime with looks of stern bewilderment when he learns what his kids are up to when they think they’re not being watched.

Oh Yeah, This Is A Movie About Aliens

But therein lies the problem with War of the Worlds. The family drama is the more compelling story, and the alien invasion feels like an afterthought. Circling back to my Open Windows comparison, it’s hard to feel any emotional weight in Will’s exchanges with his family because it’s all done through screens. It’s sad to think that this is how we interact these days, and how Amazon, which distributes this movie, is partially responsible for the unhealthy relationship we have with our devices.

The world is literally ending, but we’re witnessing it through screens, as Ice Cube watches it through screens while FaceTiming everybody through their screens. It’s not even second-hand suspense. It’s tertiary, buried under multiple layers of abstraction that prevent you from feeling anything at all.

Had this production ditched the H.G. Wells connection entirely, and been, say, a hostage situation involving Will’s family, this whole thing could have had legs.

War of the Worlds Is Streaming On Amazon (They’re Totally A Real Company, Did You Know?!)

Speaking of Amazon, War of the Worlds, which is streaming on Amazon Prime Video, has a lot of product placement. There’s an entire sequence involving Mark, an Amazon driver, using an Amazon delivery drone to get a flash drive to Will so he can save the world. Thank God we now know Amazon is a real brand with real products and delivery services, because while I streamed this movie on Amazon, I had no idea I was only two clicks away from getting toiletries delivered to my doorstep, and three syllables away from Alexa listening to everything I say when I think I’m alone. Amazon!

Even if you get past the blatant product placement, War of the Worlds has an even more chilling implication. Will can access almost anything he wants through his DHS setup. He calls a Tesla to pick up his injured daughter, cranks the air conditioning when she complains about the heat, notices her phone battery is critically low, and remotely switches it to power-saving mode. This is framed as heroic, but it also suggests that all of our devices are capable of being controlled by people watching our every move.

I don’t know what to make of this, because unlike 2008’s The Dark Knight, there are no moral dilemmas here. At least Batman tried to justify turning Gotham into a surveillance state, even though he knew how dangerous of a precedent it would set, to catch somebody who had already caused irreversible damage to his community. In War of the Worlds, it almost feels like they’re trying to normalize this level of control, as if writers Kenneth A. Golde and Mark Hyman skimmed through 1984 and said, “Oh, this is GREAT!”

Did I mention that Amazon Prime is a real thing you can sign up for for the nominal fee of $14.99 a month? The membership practically pays for itself in saved shipping costs. Amazon. Wow.

Listen, War of the Worlds is trash. It’s not good. It aspires to be crappy. But I will say this: Ice Cube fiddling around on a computer is weirdly soothing to watch, and the second he launches a data entry ASMR channel on YouTube, I’ll be there.

If you’ve been known to enjoy the odd heist movie from time to time, now might be the moment to start tuning into the news. According to a report from The Guardian, a California man was just caught in a scheme to defraud his local Target retailer out of tens of thousands of dollars in LEGO pieces. The Irvine police department announced that they had apprehended the brick-burgling bandit on April 14, with over $34,000 in LEGO minifigures in his possession.

Though the whole case sounds a little baroque, the heist is a lot more sophisticated than you might expect. Apparently the suspect, 28-year-old Jarrelle Augustine, is accused of pulling over 70 small-scale steals, accumulating his fortune in tiny bits and pieces. You might even say he was building his set, brick by brick. Allegedly every time Augustine would visit his local Target, he would purchase expensive LEGO sets, only to carefully swap out high-value LEGO pieces with dried pasta before returning the boxes.

I Built This Heist Brick By Brick

Needless to say, once Target employees attempted to resell the returned merchandise, they were met with little more than a box of Goya brand durum wheat semolina. Police in the area have been building a case against Augustine for more than four months, and eventually located well-organized bins of LEGO minifigures in his home. Multiple bags of Goya pasta were found as well, offering one of the strangest and funniest evidence photo spreads the department has ever seen. The Facebook reel announcing the arrest even referred to the heist as “a pasta-tively terrible plan.”

There’s no way of knowing for sure, but based on the layout of the minifigs, it looks as though Augustine planned to resell the stolen figurines on an online marketplace such as Ebay. These pieces can sell for hundreds of dollars each online, so the manicotti mastermind might have been turning a pretty penny for his efforts. If not for the Irvine police department, the perp might still be swapping stormtroopers with tortellini to this very day.

One of the strangest details about this ordeal is the fact that it isn’t the only recent LEGO related heist to strike the area. Authorities have previously charged multiple California residents in cases related to LEGO theft, with some operations accounting for millions of dollars in stolen revenue. One Riverside county man even allegedly hijacked two freight trailers full of the children’s toy sets. Clearly there is a booming criminal enterprise with these bricks serving as their foundation.

To my eye, this seems like a story that’s just begging to be turned into a buddy cop movie. I could see Paul Walter Hauser and Walton Goggins teaming up to stop the farfalle fugitive, perhaps played by Keagan-Michael Key. Throw in Danny McBride as the chief of police, and a few budding comedians to round out the criminal underworld, and you’ve got yourself an A+ Hulu original.

New York Giants legend and Pro Football Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor was hospitalized in New Jersey on Friday, April 24, after experiencing a medical emergency, according to TMZ Sports.

The outlet did not have an update on his condition, but added that those close to him don’t seem to think “whatever he’s dealing with is too serious” and “the belief is he will be discharged soon, if he has not been already.”

Taylor, 67, reportedly arrived in the emergency room on Friday before being taken to another area of the hospital.

Us Weekly has reached out to Taylor’s team for comment.

Taylor has been open in the past about his health issues related to abusing drugs during his playing days.

“On a typical night out, I’d get some coke from some Spanish guys in Harlem,” he recalled in a story for ESPN in 2012. “In the apartment there’d be one guy with a .38. There’d be another guy sitting at a table. I’d tell him how much I wanted, he’d measure it and put it in a bag. I’d buy about six, seven hundred dollars worth, then, look out world.”

He continued, “To keep myself entertained, I’d stand on a bar stool, then dive off into a handstand. Or pull one of my old college tricks and chew some glass. Pitchers of kamikazes can do that to you. One time in Houston, some guys on the Oilers tried to mess my game up by sending two girls to my hotel.”

Taylor’s pro career ran from 1981 to 1993, entirely with the Giants. The two-time Super Bowl champion was the 1986 NFL MVP and was a three-time Defensive Player of the Year.

Related: Former Eagles Player Died of Head Trauma, Stab Wounds in Apparent Homicide

Former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Kevin Johnson died at age 55 of “blunt head trauma and stab wounds,” the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has determined. His death is being investigated as a homicide. Johnson was found dead on Wednesday, January 21, at a homeless encampment in Los Angeles after officers responded to a report […]

But even during his career, he spoke candidly about his drug use. In 1988, the NFL suspended him for 30 days and ordered him to attend rehabilitation after he failed a drug test. He said at the time that he wasn’t worried about the suspension, but was instead thinking about the bigger picture.

“I’m worried about what’s going to happen to me the rest of my life unless I get myself straight,” he told Connecticut’s WVIT at the time. “That’s what I’m worried about.”

Taylor appeared in good health in March when he visited his alma mater, North Carolina, to see head coach Bill Belichick and the Tar Heels football team, as seen in a photo shared via Instagram.

Coincidentally, Belichick, now 74, was the Giants’ defensive coordinator during Taylor’s pro tenure. Taylor smiled wide as he and Belichick posed for a picture at the team’s practice facility in Chapel Hill.
