1991’s Killer Nerd is exactly what it sounds like. If you need me to spell it out in a little more detail, it’s about a nerd… who kills people. That’s literally the whole thing. It’s Revenge of the Nerd, singular. But what is he getting revenge for? That’s the problem with films like Killer Nerd: this guy’s life isn’t great because he goes out of his way to make it not great. And when he realizes things aren’t going well for him, he gets very angry and makes everybody else pay for it.

Sometimes you get lucky and stumble across a film that functions as a form of wish fulfillment. Revenge arcs, or stories about somebody taking matters into their own hands, are inherently satisfying because you can live vicariously through these characters. Killer Nerd is no such movie because you go into the film hating the guy, and only continue to like him less as you get to know him better.

It’s Always The Quiet Ones

Killer Nerd tells the story of Harold Kunkle (Toby Radloff), a socially awkward misfit with no friends, no romantic prospects, and a domineering mother whose character archetype will be familiar to anybody who knows serial killer lore.

At work, Harold is ignored by his crush Sally (Heidi Lohr) and constantly mocked by his coworker Jeff (Richard Zaynor). On his way to and from work, he’s tormented by drug dealers TJ (Niko DePofi) and Leelee (Tony Zanoni).

One night, while moping around, Harold sees an infomercial for Slick Dicks’ School of Cool, which, for the low, low price of $79.95, promises to turn him into a babe magnet, or something to that effect. The biggest takeaway from the tapes is that Harold should get a cool (read: terrible) haircut and dress like a washed-up lounge singer. 

As you’d expect, Harold’s sudden makeover, along with his attempts to be too cool for school, is not received well, which only leads to more bullying. Harold then learns that Sally and Jeff are hooking up, and even the two women he meets at a nightclub while sporting his new look, Jenny (Lori Scarlett) and Lilac (Elizabeth Quinn), are similarly repulsed by him.

Refusing to be “that guy” anymore, Harold snaps and, as the title suggests, becomes the Killer Nerd we’ve been waiting for.

That’s Really All There Is To It

If you’re looking for a slow buildup of rage that leads to its obvious and inevitable conclusion, Killer Nerd might be a satisfying watch. Personally, I could never get fully invested because there’s really nothing to latch onto. Harold starts off as a bitter, lonely man, and the movie ends with him as a bitter, lonely man who’s now also a murderer. It never quite makes it into full slasher territory, but his rampage does come with a considerable body count. 

Some of the kills, which look terrible thanks to the film’s $12,000 budget, are fun because Toby Radloff fully commits to the carnage. The problem is that there’s never a moment where Harold is remotely likeable. A couple of pithy one-liners could have elevated it, but what we get is a bumbling Harold who can barely hold it together. 

His “makeover” reminds me of the time in South Park when Cartman tries to act nice, but instead just wears a nice sweater. When he’s called out on the fact that dressing nice and acting nice are two different things, he shrugs and admits he doesn’t know the difference. You get that same kind of clueless energy in Killer Nerd, but since Cartman is a lovable sociopath and Harold is just… Harold, the humor doesn’t land as much as I would have liked.

At the end of the day, Killer Nerd is pretty terrible. When you consider its production budget and the overall chaotic energy everybody brings to the table, there’s an undeniable charm because it plays like a group of friends with no filmmaking experience trying to make a feature-length film. It reminded me of the times my friends and I would film skits just to pass the time, and that nostalgia was cool. But I’d be lying if I said the quality, and the juvenile sense of humor we celebrated, wasn’t about the same as what you see in Killer Nerd.

As of this writing, Killer Nerd is streaming free on Tubi.

Ariana Grande’s highly anticipated debut in the “American Horror Story” universe has been put on hold due to an unavoidable scheduling conflict with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour.”

Grande is no newcomer to major Hollywood franchises, having starred in Universal Pictures’ two-part “Wicked” film series, but a source claims she is now “being extremely picky” about her next movie role.

The singer also recently made an “unfortunate” announcement, revealing that she had to reschedule several tour dates due to production issues.

Ariana Grande will no longer appear in FX’s “American Horror Story” Season 13, which premieres on September 24.

The “Thank U, Next” singer was initially announced as a cast member in October and would have joined familiar faces including Sarah Paulson, Evan Peters, Angela Bassett, Kathy Bates, Jessica Lange, Emma Roberts, Billie Lourd, Gabourey Sidibe, John Waters, Frances Conroy, and Leslie Grossman.

However, sources confirmed that the pop superstar has had to withdraw from the upcoming season due to production schedule changes that conflict with her ongoing “Eternal Sunshine Tour,” per Deadline.

It is understood that she had not yet filmed any scenes for the season. While the focus of Season 13 has been kept under wraps, reports claim that John Carroll Lynch, Mena Suvari, and Matt Fraser will reprise characters they previously portrayed in the anthology series.

Grande Had Teased A Tiny ‘AHS’ Role

Grande’s appearance would have marked a major reunion with series creator Ryan Murphy after they worked together on the 2015 FOX comedy-horror series “Scream Queens,” where she famously played the ill-fated sorority sister Chanel #2.

It remains unclear what her role would have been, but she previously hinted that it would be brief, telling Variety last fall that she would likely have a “very tiny thing” to do while expressing gratitude for the opportunity to join the franchise.

“I know a little tiny bit [about the role], but what I know I can’t say,” she said. “I’ll probably have a very tiny thing to do in it, but I’ll be grateful to be a part of it because I love everyone involved.”

Ariana Grande Becomes More Selective In Hollywood

3

Grande has continued to build her acting career since her days as a child star on Nickelodeon’s “Victorious,” where she played Cat Valentine.

She later focused on music, earning multiple Grammy Awards before landing a major role in the “Wicked” film franchise, which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2025.

A source told Life & Style Magazine that following her success with “Wicked,” Grande has received more movie offers but has become highly selective. “Arianna doesn’t need praise or her face on billboards all over town constantly,” a source close to her business team said. “It’s not about ego for her, and everybody knows she’s not dipping her toe into movies because she needs the money.”

“She’s being extremely picky about filmmakers, and she’s quality-controlling everything she can when she commits to a project,” the insider added.

Grande Wants Every Movie To Stand Out

The insider went on to explain that Grande has no interest in making multiple movies each year simply for the paycheck, adding that money is no longer a driving force in her career.

“You’re not going to see her making three or four movies a year just because she can,” the source continued, adding that the pop star “wants every film she agrees to make to be special and singular, and that can mean saying ‘no’ to a lot of pretty tempting offers.”

The source also claimed that Grande is mindful of “overexposure,” but said her years in the spotlight have taught her when to “put her head down, duck out of sight and focus on the work.”

“This gives her a key advantage over other stars in her age bracket,” the insider noted, adding that Grande also knows “she’s in a class by herself” and was highly motivated to earn another Oscar nomination.

Ariana Grande Reschedules Tour Dates

3

In the coming months, Grande remains busy with her “Eternal Sunshine Tour” and recently announced changes to three scheduled shows.

She revealed that her July 12 concert at New York’s Barclays Center would move to July 14. She also rescheduled two Boston performances at TD Garden, originally set for July 22 and July 24, to July 23 and July 26, respectively.

According to Page Six, Grande explained in an Instagram Story that the changes were necessary due to production issues and to ensure fans receive the full experience, “delivered safely and as intended.”

“We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes,” she wrote. “This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.”

“The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run,” she continued. “Thank you so much for your understanding, and I cannot wait to see you.”

Young and the Restless fans know Victor Newman (Eric Braeden) has crossed so many lines that most of Genoa City is gunning for him at this point. Even his own family is seeing that he’s out of control, even though most of them are too scared to push back. Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle), of course, always defends daddy. But the others know he’s doing bad.

We’re going to talk about how Victor is about to get hit from all sides. Because some of his awful behavior may actually trigger some consequences this time.

Young and the Restless: Kyle’s Revenge Plan Against Victor

So, this week, Kyle Abbott (Michael Mealor) showed up at the new ranch to confront Victor. He headed over there, asked Victor if he’s heard about what happened to his dad, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman). And Victor is insulting and sarcastically says he didn’t force Jack to sleep with Patty Williams (Stacy Haiduk). And won’t be blamed for these marital problems. But Kyle says his parents are better than ever, and taunts Victor, asking how is his marriage doing.

So, Victor keeps denying any blame and asking, “What did I have to do with this?” And Kyle reminds him that he brought Patty to town. And Victor warns Kyle that he’s overstepping. And Victor threatens to have Kyle tossed out. But he tells Victor he is going to make sure he pays for what he did to Jack and Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters).

Victor Mocks Kyle on Y&R

So, Victor’s mocking Kyle, calling these empty threats. And Victor also says plenty of people have tried to take him down and failed. So, it’s pointless for Kyle to even try. Clearly, Victor is awful and doesn’t feel bad about a single thing he’s done to anybody and things that he is still doing and planning to do. Jack getting stabbed and nearly dying and Diane being kidnapped by Patty didn’t even make Victor flinch or feel a shred of remorse. And with so many people fed up with Victor, I really hope we are going to see him face some consequences soon.

There are some red flags. We might. Even though we know that Josh Griffith is incapable of writing any sort of long-term karma for Victor, we might get a little bit. Because some people might try and stop Victor and force some consequences into play. And the top person who wants to see Victor pay right now is obviously Kyle Abbott.

This week he talks to Billy Abbott (Jason Thompson) who said Victor is a big target but always seems to be missed. And Kyle vowed not this time. Then Billy asks what Kyle has planned and he doesn’t have a plan. But he went over to threaten Victor, which accomplished nothing other than Kyle getting more annoyed with the mustache.

Young and Restless: Patty’s Deal and Victor’s Downfall

And then this week, Kyle goes up to see crazy Patty Williams in her cell at the GCPD. And Y&R spoilers say Kyle offers Patty a deal. So, Kyle may dangle the offer of less or no prison time if she flips on Victor. I feel like Patty might take a deal like that after her recent arraignment went so badly. Michael reported to Diane that Patty made a scene in court and was hauled out and denied bail. So, by the time Kyle shows up, Patty might be desperate for a way out and her pal Dr. Laurence Markham (Jere Burns) has totally ghosted her, hung Patty out to dry and run off.

So, if Kyle convinces Patty that the Abbotts will help her, she might tell the cops Victor paid her to do all of this. Patty may say Victor hired her to kidnap and assault Jack, which is true, to kidnap Diane, to try and stab Jack and then try and finish him off in the hospital, which may or may not be true. Patty may blame all this on Victor. And in exchange, we could see Kyle agreeing that he will hire her a lawyer, maybe even Michael Baldwin. Because right now Patty’s got a crappy public defender that’s not doing much for her. So, Kyle might even dangle an offer where if Patty helps, she can go to a psych hospital instead of a state prison.

Patty Has Evidence Against Victor on Y&R

And since Victor paid Patty a whole bag full of cash to destroy Jack and Diane’s marriage, that’s some evidence. Patty might still have some of that cash, and it can be traced back to Victor’s bank. Plus, Patty has hated Victor for a long time. Patty tried to kill Victor years ago, so yeah, I think she’d roll over on him.

And Billy might want in on Kyle’s plan once he finds out that Victor is targeting Sally Spectra’s (Courtney Hope) company, Spectra. That comes out soon. Because she just overheard Adam Newman (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea Lawson (Melissa Claire  Egan) talking and she knows Victor is coming after her company. And when Billy finds out, he will be fuming about that.

Speaking of Victor going after Spectra, him playing hardball with Sally’s company starts this week. And I suspect Chelsea demands that Adam conspire with her against Victor so they can protect Sally. We already know Adam has a big issue with Victor going after Sally’s company. Because she’s pregnant and he worries the stress will give her a miscarriage. But Victor insists that it’s Billy’s fault and that it’s really about him. But Chelsea doesn’t agree.

And while Adam has no issue targeting Billy, we saw Chelsea lecturing Adam about it. Chelsea sees no reason to sit by and let Victor go after Billy or Sally. So, she and Adam might actively try and thwart Victor, especially when Chelsea told Sally she and Adam will never go along with Victor’s plan. And Sally clapped back that Adam never sticks to it when he defies Victor, which is 100% true. So, Sally calling Adam out with that truth bomb might inspire him to agree with Chelsea to interfere with Victor’s plan.

Young and Restless: Family Turns Against Victor

And don’t forget, Jack and Diane are enraged that Victor brought Patty back. Jack does feel bad that he drove Patty off the deep end back in the day. But no way does Jack deserve to be kidnapped, drugged, assaulted, and then stabbed. And he knows Victor is behind all of this. So, Jack and Diane still want Victor to pay as well. And now that they’re reunited, once Jack heals up and is out of the hospital, he and Diane may look for a way to get some of their own revenge on Victor.

I would like to see them rally his own family against him. Because for starters, Abby Newman (Melissa Ordway) won’t like to hear that Victor nearly got her uncle Jack killed. Neither will Summer Newman. Plus, Kyle just rolled up on Nikki Newman (Melody Thomas Scott) and Victoria and told them that Patty nearly killed his parents.

Victoria immediately went into denial about Victor playing a part in it. So, we’re going to see Nikki and Victoria going to visit Jack at the hospital. I’m sure he will reiterate what Kyle said. But Young and the Restless spoilers say that Nikki and Victor agreed to a fresh start this week. And that is after Victor accuses Nikki of betraying him. Which I’m sure is about her going to visit Jack. You know, whom Victor already demanded that Nikki cut out of her life if she wants to be with him.

Young and the Restless: Nikki Walks Away from Victor?

So, with Victor gaslighting Nikki and lying to her face about Patty, we could see Nikki doing her usual where she enables Victor. And excuses his behavior and says it’s just not true. To her credit, Nikki’s off-kilter right now. Because of her medical crisis. But if Patty rolls over on Victor and Christine Williams Romalotti (Lauralee Bell) comes to arrest him, then his days of denials are over. It’s fruitless.

Other Young and the Restless spoilers say that Nikki and Victor’s marriage faces more tests. And it could be the fact that Nikki can’t turn a blind eye, no pun intended, to what Victor did to Jack if he is arrested for these crimes. So, if Patty gives Victor up and Christine has him arrested and charged, then Nikki might change her tune and then we could see Victor finally facing some serious consequences that are long overdue.

I’ve got fingers crossed that Kyle can cut a deal with Patty. And get this revenge train rolling. But with Josh Griffith unfortunately still writing the CBS soap, Victor may walk out of this scot-free as usual, even if he is arrested, it’s no wonder that Josh was shown the door.

Women are making upwards of $30,000 selling foot content online. The industry is now a multi-billion-dollar business. But how does it all work?

According to Carter, content creator Abby Nicole records herself getting pedicures and brings in racks that go toward everyday expenses like groceries. Per Nicole, the $2 billion industry has afforded her over $100,000 within the last year, and down payments on luxury cars.

Meanwhile, Shamia “Mimi” Capers says creating feet content has put her in a position where she doesn’t have to “struggle” anymore.

“When I realized that I can make $50 in five minutes, and I ain’t never made $50 in one hour working at nobody’s job, I’m like, ‘Dang, if I really hone in on this, this could be a second lil job or whatever’… and it really just turned into something so much bigger,” Capers recalled.

Days of Our Lives fans. Right now, we have Theo Carver (Tyler Joseph Andrews) irritated and claiming that he wants nothing to do with Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez). And that’s because Theo thought that they were friends. But then Gabi blamed Theo for Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier) finding out about her corporate spying. But all of that could change soon.

We’re going to get into why Theo might change his tune about Gabi and they could get closer soon. Much closer. And now, let’s dive into what might repair Theo and Gabi’s estranged friendship and add some sizzle to it.

Days of Our Lives: Theo and Gabi’s Betrayal and Reconciliation

Now, you may remember not long ago, Philip raged at Gabi after Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) spilled to him that she bugged his and Xander Cook Kiriakis’s (Paul Telfer) CEO office at Titan. And at the time, Philip dumped Gabi right in the middle of the square, enraged at her about choosing greed over their relationship. But Philip never told her who blabbed.

So, Gabi thought her buddy Theo ratted her out. He’d been crushing on Gabi for a while, but never once considered outing her dirty secret to Philip. Instead, when Theo was in the hospital after a kidnapping incident, he was even dreaming about kissing Gabi and staring at that cute little cactus. So, when she accused Theo of ratting her out, Gabi did it under the assumption that Theo did it to Philip to break them up because of his crush on her.

Days of our Lives: Gabi Comes Clean

And when Gabi told Theo that she read his journal, he really blew up at her for looking at his private thoughts. Theo saw that as a violation of trust and his feelings are hurt that Gabi so easily assumed that he would trash their friendship and rat her out. And even though Theo denied it, Gabi still wouldn’t drop it. Theo could not convince Gabi of his innocence.

Plus, Theo reminded Gabi that he was busy with his newly resurrected mom, Lexie Carver (Nikki Crawford). At that time, Theo was pretty much up at the hospital constantly with Lexie and Abe Carver (James Reynolds). So, Gabi and her corporate spying wasn’t even on his radar. And then recently, Philip revealed to Gabi that it was Anna DiMera (Leann Hunely) told him the truth. But by then, the damage had been done to Theo and Gabi’s friendship. So, here we are and Theo is really struggling right now.

Days of Our Lives: Theo’s Betrayals and Emotional Crisis

Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk) just told Theo that Stefano DiMera is why Lexie got cancer and died to start with. That’s not really what the history of Days of our Lives says, but it’s what the writers are saying now, so it’s what we’ve got. So, Theo’s angry that even as an adult, Abe and the rest of the family kept that secret from him. Even though it’s been fifteen years since Lexie died from a brain tumor caused by toxins in the DiMera tunnels, that information is new to Theo and it’s left him absolutely reeling.

Plus, this week, Lexie told Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) that she does not have long to live, but she doesn’t want to tell Abe and Theo just yet. So, that’s another heartache coming for Lexie’s son. This week, Theo finds out from Abe that he was conspiring with EJ DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel) to push him out of the CEO role at DiMera. And that came from Abe approaching EJ, asking him to help him get Theo out of the family business.

And that was even before Theo and Abe knew about Lexie’s coming resurrection. But EJ agreed because he wanted Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) in the CEO seat. And then EJ told Theo that his mom Lexie probably wouldn’t like him working at DiMera. That came after EJ showed Theo that Lexie was alive and about to wake up and come back to them.

Days of our Lives: Theo is Raging

So, Theo’s upset about Stefano DiMera’s (Joseph Mascolo) role in his mom dying. He’s also really angry right now that Abe and EJ manipulated him. And this double whammy betrayal sends Theo to Small Bar where he is drowning in booze this week. Then Stephanie Johnson (Abigail Klein) shows up to do the same thing after Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson) chewed her a new one.

It was for deleting the voicemail Joy Wesley (AlexAnn Hopkins) sent about her and her daughter being in a car crash. Alex called out Stephanie for her petty jealousy. Even her mom, Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans), thought Stephanie went too far. And her conspiracy theory about Joy intentionally wrecking her car to get Alex’s attention was insane.

When Stephanie hinted at that to Alex, he exploded because he knew Joy driving on a spare wasn’t a good idea. But Alex was balancing concern over his daughter’s safety with running home to Stephanie because of all her issues. So, Alex blames himself for the crash because he let Stephanie’s anger and jealousy take priority over the baby’s safety. I can’t say Alex is wrong when he called out Stephanie’s actions. And Alex said she was making a stressful situation worse.

Days of our Lives: Stephanie’s Questionable Choices

And mind you, none of this would nearly be as messy if Stephanie hadn’t doubled dosed sedatives while she had jet lag and then shot a gun at Joy. A gun that Stephanie should have had locked in her gun safe. So, no, her hands are not clean in this. However, we all know Joy’s up to something.

So, it’s quite messy. And that’s why she’s at Small Bar drinking. And then Theo seems to be so tipsy that Stephanie brings him home and lets him crash shirtless on her and Alex’s couch. Now, can you imagine if Stephanie came home and found Joy half-dressed on the sofa? But back to Theo. After drinking with Stephanie and venting, things get even worse for Theo.

Days of Our Lives: Lexie’s Health Crisis and Theo’s Rock Bottom

Because despite Lexie not wanting Theo and Abe to know she’s dying, she won’t be able to hide it for much longer. We saw EJ appalled when he came home and found Lexie on the floor unconscious. And Rita told EJ that Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) was worried about the heat and he just took off because none of the serums were helping Lexie anyway. And Rita reminded EJ that Wilhelm warned them that Lexie would be falling unconscious for longer and longer periods until she just passes away.

So, that means Theo and Abe will figure out pretty quickly that Lexie’s in bad shape because she’s going to be just passing out cold. So she winds up hospitalized soon. With Wilhelm gone, she’s going to need a real doctor to usher her through this final stage of her second chance at life.

Days of our Lives: Theo May Lean on Gabi

And when Theo is blindsided by all of this, he could turn to Gabi for support. She’s been showing up to see Theo trying to apologize for her incorrect assumption. She gave him a new journal, but she was also hitting him up for a payout of her share of Stefano’s inheritance.

And as mad as Theo is at Gabi, he is still going to need a friend as he navigates his mom Lexie’s coming second death. And after Alex finds Theo shirtless on his couch after boozing with Stephanie, I’m guessing Theo isn’t going to be welcome to hang out with Stephanie again because Alex is going to be really upset by all this. So, with nobody else to talk to, Theo might turn to Gabi and forgive her for her screw-up so that he can have a shoulder to cry on.

Days of our Lives: Sizzling Summer Romance Ahead?

Theo hasn’t been seeing anybody romantically since sort of dating Jada Hunter for a minute that fizzled out really fast. And Gabi is single as a pringle after Philip dropped her so hard. And I doubt he will be taking Gabi back. Jada is with Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) now anyway, so she’s not going to be an ear for Theo.

I think if Gabi and Theo get together, starting as friends and then it turning into more, they could actually be a Days of Our Lives super couple in the making. They could be Salem’s hot new power couple by the end of the summer. But I think Theo and Gabi won’t get together until Lexie winds up in the hospital again. And Theo hits an emotional rock bottom and really needs a friend and Gabi steps up.

Former presidential hopeful Andrew Yang wasn’t scared to face Donald Trump in the 2020 campaign — and he’s certainly not worried about competing against him now.

“I hope he watches,” Yang, 51, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, July 9, of the current president catching a glimpse of his upcoming Fox show, Nation’s Dumbest. “He does seem to love reality TV, so I hope he tunes in to see what real leadership looks like.”

The political pundit suggested Trump, 80, tune into the fun-loving game show, which tests the smarts of celebrities like Ice-T, Dr. Drew Pinsky, Carmen Electra, Steve-O, Hilaria Baldwin, JoJo Siwa and more, with the First Family.

“Maybe he can watch it with his kids and grandkids. I don’t think Donald Trump does that sort of thing. I don’t really visualize watching fun reality TV with his grandkids,” Yang added. “But who knows? Who knows what’s going on in there?”

The Forward Party founder nominated America’s lawmakers for season two of Nation’s Dumbest.

“I would recommend all of our nation’s leading political figures. I think that would be fun and fascinating. America deserves to know who’s in charge,” he stated. “Unfortunately, I think a lot of them would not agree to come on and some might be past whatever the legal age limit is.”

Yang wouldn’t sweat if it came down to him versus Trump on Fox’s freshman game show, either.

“Let’s just say he would not be the competition I’d be worried about. He’d probably be there for quite some time,” Yang joked to Us.

The 2020 presidential candidate puts his smarts to the test, answering a series of questions and performing outrageous challenges that pushes him and his costars to the limits both physically and mentally.

JoJo Siwa is revealing the one topic she and her boyfriend, Chris Hughes, don’t discuss in their one-year relationship after he spoke up for her against online trolls. “He’s always very supportive, and I actually just read that same article,” Siwa, 23, exclusively told Us at the junket for Fox’s Nation’s Dumbest on Thursday, July […]

Yang tried to manage his expectations before coming into the competition.

“I thought if you come in saying you’re going to be right off the show, then you’re going to screw up. You’re going to have more pressure on you. You might even come across as someone who’s too cool for school,” he shared. “And so I said to myself and my wife and my team, it’s an indeterminate length. I don’t really know [how long I’ll last]. So that was my attitude coming in.”

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s fans may just be learning about their newest family member, but reports suggest the couple has been raising a white puppy together for nearly a year.

The dog recently sparked fresh interest after appearing in photos linked to the newlyweds, fueling speculation about when they got the pet.

While neither Taylor Swift nor Travis Kelce has publicly shared details about their dog, clues from family members and recent sightings have offered a glimpse into the couple’s life as pet owners.

Swift and Kelce have reportedly expanded their family with a four-legged addition, welcoming a dog into their lives well before officially becoming husband and wife.

A Page Six report confirmed that the couple has owned the white pup for “close to a year” and is said to be delighted with their shared pet.

Sources told the news outlet that the newlyweds are “very happy” about “their shared” furry companion, which has quietly become part of their life together.

The dog, believed to be a Samoyed, was recently spotted in Florida alongside Kelce. Photos obtained by the publication showed the Kansas City Chiefs star arriving in Palm Beach, with the fluffy white canine following him down the stairs of Swift’s private jet. It remains unclear whether Swift was also in Florida at the time.

Rumors about the couple’s dog first gained traction earlier this month after photos from their July 3 wedding at Madison Square Garden surfaced online.

In one image, fans noticed what appeared to be a framed photograph of the couple posing with a white dog, sparking speculation that they had secretly added a pet to their household.

Jason Kelce Accidentally Confirmed The Couple’s New Puppy

Although Swift and Kelce have remained tight-lipped about their pet, Travis’ older brother, Jason Kelce, previously revealed that the couple had welcomed a puppy into their home.

During an appearance on the “Fitz & Whit” podcast in 2025, the retired Philadelphia Eagles star shared a lighthearted story about the newest addition to the family.

Speaking with hosts Ryan Fitzpatrick and Andrew Whitworth, Jason revealed that one of Travis’ recently purchased green velvet couches didn’t stay in pristine condition for long.

According to Jason, the culprit was the couple’s young pup. “He just got a puppy,” Jason said, explaining that the dog had chewed a hole in the back of the expensive sofa shortly after it arrived.

Meanwhile, the dog marks a new addition to Swift’s well-known collection of pets. The singer is already a devoted cat owner, having adopted Meredith Grey in 2011, Olivia Benson in 2014, and Benjamin Button in 2019.

Taylor Swift’s Beloved Cats Have Long Been Part Of Her Public Persona

Over the years, the cats have appeared frequently on Swift’s social media accounts, in photoshoots, and even in her creative projects. Benjamin Button made his debut in the music video for her 2019 hit “ME!,” while all three cats later appeared in her 2020 holiday card inspired by the aesthetic of her “folklore” era.

Benjamin also joined Swift on the cover of TIME when she was named Person of the Year in 2023. One of the images from that shoot later resurfaced when Swift endorsed Kamala Harris during the 2024 U.S. presidential election, signing her post with the phrase “Childless Cat Lady” in a playful response to a political insult that had gained attention online.

Swift has often spoken about her affection for cats. In a 2019 interview with the same publication, she described herself as being “obsessed” with her feline companions and praised their independent nature. “They’re very dignified,” she explained. “They’re independent. They’re very capable of dealing with their own life.”

The latest glimpse into the couple’s growing family comes just weeks after Swift and Kelce officially said “I do” earlier this month after nearly two years together, celebrating their marriage with a lavish ceremony in New York City attended by family, friends and a host of celebrity guests.

According to reports, the couple exchanged heartfelt vows that lasted roughly 20 minutes each during the ceremony, which was officiated by actor and comedian Adam Sandler. The event featured a garden-inspired theme and included games and luxury raffle prizes for attendees.

For the occasion, both the bride and groom wore custom Dior haute couture designs. Swift reportedly made her entrance to her 2008 hit “Love Story,” adding a personal touch to the celebration.

Following the wedding, the newlyweds kept a relatively low profile before making a public appearance at the wedding of Kelce’s former Kansas City Chiefs teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster and Laura Kruk on July 10.

Swift turned heads in a strapless pink floral Markarian gown, while Kelce opted for a classic double-breasted black suit.

Guests at the celebration spotted the couple dancing together throughout the evening, and at one point, Swift appeared to proudly show off her wedding ring while chatting with fellow attendees.

Approximately 10 days ago, Nolan Xavier Wells was allegedly seen alive for the last time. What was supposed to be a day trip to Horn Island, Mississippi, later turned into a multi-agency search party. Two days after going missing, Nolan’s body was found in the water near the northwestern area of the island. His mother, Christine Wonsley, shared her grief shortly afterward and has continued to advocate for answers about his death and transparency in the investigation. But her latest public message is about having to do the unthinkable as a parent: burying a child. She spoke of planning Nolan’s funeral as new reports have revealed details about the 18-year-old’s upcoming celebration of life.

Christine Wonsley Speaks Of Nolan Wells’ Funeral

As mentioned, Christine Wonsley has been vocal following her son’s death. That includes grieving for him, asking the public to come forward with answers, and shutting down tasteless jokes and AI-generated videos. Late Monday (July 13), she circled to Facebook with a new status update. In the post, she spoke of planning Nolan Wells’ funeral and the emotion behind it.

“Planning the funeral of our 18 year old does not feel real. All the emotions are running together. I thank God for the moments of being able to watch videos and hear his laugh again. We miss you so much Nolan. #JusticeForNolanWells #Forever18”

Venue Releases Statement Ahead Of Funeral

According to the SunHerald, the Mississippi Coast Coliseum & Convention Center has agreed to host Nolan Xavier Wells’ funeral. While Christine Wonsley acknowledged on Monday that she’s planning the service, she did not provide any more details. A statement from the venue’s executive director said there’s communication with representatives of Nolan’s family.

Additionally, per WLOX, the service date has been selected. The funeral will take place on July 20 with visitation from 9 to 11 a.m. and the service lasting from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The venue’s executive director revealed it will be staged to hold between 1,200 and 1,500 people. RSVPs will be encouraged for planning purposes and metal detectors will be in use, as for any other event at the venue.

What’s Going On With The Investigation?

This week, Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter appeared in a ‘Good Morning America’ interview that aired on Tuesday (July 14). His office is leading the investigation into what happened to Nolan Xavier Wells. He told ABC News’ Aaron Katersky that it’s important his agency doesn’t put themselves “on a timetable” or “rush” themselves. However, he appeared to agree that Nolan’s family deserves answers. “But I do think it’s important to be diligent in gathering all the facts. That’s what the family deserves,” Sheriff Ledbetter said.

Ledbetter added that law enforcement is still collecting photos, videos and witness accounts from people who visited Horn Island on July 4. As of Tuesday, investigators are still allegedly waiting on the state medical examiner’s findings, which will include a toxicology. Officials have previously suggested Wells drowned, a claim his family and their lawyer, Ben Crump, have questioned.

“Even if you may think it might be insignificant, every little bit helps,” the sheriff said. “That may be a bigger contribution than you think to this case.”

When asked whether drugs or alcohol played a role in Nolan’s death, Sheriff Ledbetter refused to answer. He acknowledged the “rumors are out there.” However, he said, “We don’t respond to rumors. We respond to facts.” 

Nolan Wells’ parents have sought out an independent autopsy, which the sheriff says his office welcomes. Ultimately, his department and the Wonsleys are seeking the same outcome, he previously told ABC News.

“We’re working toward the same goal as the family,” Ledbetter previously said. “We want a thorough investigation. That’s what we’re going to continue to do until we arrive at the answers that the family deserves.”

Los Angeles Dodgers star Kiké Hernández explained why he won’t be in attendance when the team visits the White House to meet with President Trump later this month. 

Hernández, 34, will be on a minor-league rehab assignment when the Dodgers head to Washington D.C. on July 23 to celebrate their World Series title. “It’s going to be hard to be in two cities at the same time,” Hernández told reporters on Friday, July 10. 

He added, “If I was active, I probably wouldn’t have gone anyways.”

When pressed for a reason, Hernández said, “I’d rather take a day off than do team activities.”

Dodgers star Mookie Betts has also said he will not attend the festivities at the White House, but insisted it was not a political decision. 

“I’m not trying to make this a whole big deal,” Betts, 33, told the California Post in a story published on Saturday, July 11. “We just had a baby. You don’t get many days off. They’re coming [on the road trip]. And just want to hang out with the fam. That’s really kind of it. But people are gonna make it a whole bunch of other stuff.”

He added, “If I do [go], people are gonna hate me. If I don’t, people are gonna hate me. So instead of trying to make everyone else happy, I’m gonna think about myself and my family.”

Betts and his wife, Brianna, share three children: daughters Kynlee, 7, and Khari, 3 months, and son Kaj, 3.

“As was the case one year ago, the Dodgers’ upcoming visits to the White House and Capitol Hill follow the longtime tradition of visits by other World Series champions,” the franchise said. “We appreciate these tributes in recognition of our back-to-back championships.”

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said the meeting “took a long time to get both sides together.”

“Honestly, like I’ve always said, my company line, my personal line, is I hope that we get this invitation every year,” Roberts, 54, told reporters after the visit was confirmed. “Because that’s the goal, to win a championship, to get this invitation to the White House. I’m not a politician and I’m doing something that teams have done for decades. That’s where I stand, really. I’m a baseball coach. That’s what I do.”
