Former NFL quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick thought he was about to have a moment with Tom Hanks, but instead, the legendary actor Big-timed him at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding.

“Tom Hanks knows who I am and he’s approaching me to talk to me,” Fitzpatrick, 43, said he was thinking on the Thursday, August 20 episode of the “Fitz and Whit” podcast. “I make eye contact…Tom’s gotta know who I am. Makes eye contact, points at me… so I’m feeling really good, I’m like, ‘Holy crap, how cool is this? Tom Hanks knows who I am and he’s approaching me to talk to me.’”

It turns out, that was not the case.

“He looks at me and he says, ‘Just so you know that’s a huge faux pas,” Fitzpatrick admitted. “You’re not supposed to wear a top hat at a wedding. That’s saved for the groom.’ And then [he] just keeps walking.”

Tony Romo scored an invite to Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift’s wedding after making multiple viral comments about the newlyweds’ relationship.  Romo, 46, and his CBS Sports broadcast partner, Jim Nantz, were in attendance at Swift and Kelce’s nuptials at Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio.  In […]

Fitzpatrick continued, “It was like 50 percent that he was serious, 50 percent that it was a joke. I’m not sure which. But he has no idea who I am. I’m the guy that wore the top hat that was a huge faux pas at the wedding ‘cause it’s reserved for the groom.”

Fitzpatrick is a long-time friend of Kelce’s, having told Adam Schefter in 2022 that the pair met over a game of beer pong at a party. Despite his fashion error, the ex-quarterback has talked glowingly about his friend’s Madison Square Garden wedding, which took place on July 3.

“I may have cried,” he told at the ACC Golf Championship. “It was very emotional and also very fun and funny, too. It had all the feels.”

Fitzpatrick was also asked about the rumors that Kelce, 36, cried at the wedding.

He added in an interview with People the week after the wedding that he was “floored” when he realized Adam Sandler would officiate the ceremony.

Afterward, FItzpatrick said he and his wife, Liza, tore it up on the dance floor.

“There was a lot of dancing, hours and hours, we’re still kind of recovering from being out on that dance floor for six-plus hours,” he said. “My favorite moment was just [when] I got to spend the night with my wife just on the dance floor, being around and being in it, so that was pretty magical for us.”

After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle spent six years in California, royal watchers are wondering what really caused the couple to head back to the U.K.

“It is clear their time in America did not go to plan,” former royal butler Grant Harrold exclusively shares with Us. “We see that through the Netflix deal and some of their other commercial decisions. I think there are multiple factors at play. I suppose the dream life in the U.S. that they imagined didn’t come off.”

Harry, 41, and Meghan, 45, initially signed a $100 million, multiyear deal to produce their own TV shows and movies with Netflix in 2020.

Although they have not completely cut ties with the couple, Netflix ended their partnership with Meghan’s lifestyle brand, As Ever, in March after two seasons of With Love, Meghan.

Harrold, 48, who previously worked with King Charles III and is now a British etiquette expert and broadcaster, noted that Harry and Meghan aren’t the first to make a big move and have a change of heart.

“This happens to people all the time,” Harrold shares. “Many move abroad and then change their minds and move back. It just happens that this certain decision is incredibly public.”

News broke on Wednesday, August 19, that Harry and Meghan are relocating their children to the U.K. for an extended period starting later this month. The couple’s son, Prince Archie, 7, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, 5, are scheduled to begin school there in September.

Harry and Meghan will reportedly keep their home in Montecito, California, and their vacation residence in Portugal while having non-royal property in Britain.

Related: What to Know About Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Move Back to England

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are heading back to Britain — kids in tow. Six years after stepping down as senior working royals and decamping to California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are relocating their family to the United Kingdom for an extended period. News broke of the move in August 2026, with multiple […]

Meghan is expected to continue leading her lifestyle brand from their international home while also planning a return to acting. Harry, meanwhile, will be spending more time supporting U.K.-based charities and patronages.

While the moving news caught many fans by surprise, Harrold is hopeful that some members of the royal family, including Charles, 77, were made aware long before it became front-page news.

“We know Harry and the king have been working on their relationship for the last few months. Even if it was only confirmed [to Charles over] the weekend, I would like to think there has been back and forth between them,” Harrold, who is a partner of OLBG  says. “I think Harry would have taken his dad’s advice on aspects of the move and taken his pointers. Harry knows that doing this behind his dad’s back would cause more upset, and I imagine he’s doing everything he can to keep things sweet at the moment.”

Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter addressed the recently announced spinoff Legends starring Charlie Hunnam and more original cast members.

“I know the news about Charlie’s show hit today, and I’ve been getting some queries about it. I just want to say my piece: I’m not involved with Legends at all, nor should I be,” Sutter, 66, said in a Thursday, August 20, Instagram video. “It has nothing to do with the characters I created or the mythology.”

Sutter explained that Legends, which will be a miniseries, is more about “the legacy” of Sons of Anarchy rather than the show itself. The screenwriter revealed that Hunnam, who is developing the project, approached him with the idea before taking it to FX.

“Just want folks to know that Charlie came to me early on, when he was in the process of pitching this to the network, to ask for my blessing, knowing that the IP [intellectual property] would probably not be able to be invoked for various reasons of legalese stuff, and I gave Charlie my full blessing,” he continued. “I wish nothing but the best for him in this project.”

Sutter added that his wife, Katey Sagal, is going to appear in the series as well. (Sagal starred in Sons of Anarchy as Gemma Teller Morrow, who was the mother of Hunnam’s character, Jax.)

The director teased that he caught a glimpse at the script for Legends while it was lying on his wife’s “knitting table” — and he thinks fans are going to like it.

“It’s so well-done, and I think you’ll dig it. And that’s my two cents,” he said. “I love Charlie to death, and I think you will have mad love for this project as well.”

Not only are Hunnam and Sagal returning, but a majority of the cast will be back as well. Ron Perlman, Maggie Siff, Mark Boone Junior, Tommy Flanagan, Kim Coates and Theo Rossi will also return.

According to the series’ premise, Legends will follow the Sons of Anarchy cast as they reunite “at a fan convention after more than a decade.”

“The line between life and art blurs as the fractured brotherhood finds itself up against a real-world threat more dangerous than anything they ever faced in their show,” the logline stated.

In addition to starring in Legends, Hunnam serves as an executive producer. It will be produced by FX Productions and 20th Television.

“When Charlie brought us this inspired idea, we instantly sparked to his bold and entertaining vision,” FX Entertainment president Nick Grad said in a statement after the network ordered the series. “Charlie’s talents are on full display as a writer, performer and executive producer, leading the real-life brotherhood on an adventure that is both a love letter to the series and a fun meta twist on what fans think they know.”

The ruling on the field stands: Nicole Williams English’s No. 1 cheerleader remains her husband and former NFL star, Larry English.

“Larry is so great because he’s just down for whatever, and he always hangs out with the girls,” Nicole, 42, exclusively shared with Us earlier this month when promoting The Girls: A Khloé Kardashian Project. “It’s like, you gotta expect this.”

In Hulu’s new reality show, Nicole can’t help but spill some secrets about her marriage to her costars, which includes longtime friends Olivia Pierson and Natalie Halcro. Khadijah Haqq-McCray, Malika Haqq and Yris Palmer are also part of the ensemble cast, with Khloé Kardashian serving as the executive producer.

The very first episode has Nicole sharing some OMG details about her sex life with her close gal pals.

While many NFL stars dominate on the football field, it’s their wives, fiancées and girlfriends who often run the show at home. Fans have since referred to this elite group of women as “WAGs,” a shorthand for “wives and girlfriends” that grew in popularity thanks to E!’s three-season WAGS docuseries in 2015. Netflix went on […]

“I feel like with girlfriends, I won’t say too much, but with girlfriends and hanging out with your best friends, having a couple drinks, you kind of just spill the beans on everything — even if it is very personal,” Nicole told Us. “And girl chat sometimes goes a little too far, and this definitely went there.”

She continued, “I’m not gonna say too much. Sometimes you overexaggerate a little bit when you’re drinking, and it just led to what you guys will see.”

Nicole and Larry, 40, first signed up for reality TV when they appeared on the E! reality series WAGS from 2015 to 2017. Cameras followed a group of ladies who were romantically linked to professional athletes.

During the show, viewers watched the couple get married during a romantic ceremony at the Montage Laguna Beach in Orange County, California. They are now raising 3-year-old daughter India.

Although it’s been nearly 10 years since Nicole last filmed with Olivia, 37, and Natalie, 38, the trio remain dear friends.

“We’ve been friends for so long. I mean, Nat and Liv were like sisters to [Larry],” Nicole told Us. “He’ll bicker about them. I bicker to them about him, you know. He’ll be like, ‘I’m going on a hot date tonight,’ and I’m like, ‘Cool, Nat and Liv are coming.’ He’s like, ‘Ah, why can’t we ever just be alone?’ We come as a three-pack.”

She continued, “It’s more than a friendship too. We met later in life, and usually when you do that, you become friends, but you don’t find a best friend in that. I definitely think we were just meant to be because we’re just all so similar.”

The lawyer representing Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann’s son Kroy “KJ” Biermann is speaking out following the teen’s arrest for aggravated sodomy and aggravated sexual battery.

“First and foremost, this is not the kind of information that should be for public dissemination. These are juveniles,” KJ’s attorney Jason Sheffield told Us in a statement on Friday, August 21. “Secondly, my client is 100 percent innocent and tried to present evidence to the arresting officer, including a passed polygraph by a notable and respected sex offender polygrapher.”

Sheffield continued, “Additionally, the officer’s report notes the GBI [Georgia Bureau of Investigation] found no male DNA on or inside the areas the alleged victim claimed she was assaulted. Had the officer sat down with me, I feel certain she would’ve never made an arrest.”

According to a police report obtained by Us on Friday, KJ, 15, was booked in Alpharetta, Georgia for the felony charges earlier in the week. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for September 8. KJ is currently being held at the Metro Regional Youth Detention Center. A bond was not set.

A police report has revealed the alarming details of Kroy “KJ” Biermann Jr.’s alleged crimes after the son of Kim Zolciak and Kroy Biermann was arrested for sodomy and sexual assault. The alleged incident occurred on April 23 at Lifetime Fitness in Alpharetta, Georgia, according to the report obtained by Us on Friday, August 21. […]

The alleged incident took place at Lifetime Fitness on April 23 and the minor female victim, who Us has chosen not to identify, reported an aggravated sexual battery and aggravated sodomy and was taken to the hospital. The alleged victim underwent a test and the results found no evidence of male DNA in her mouth or vagina, per the report.

“Sadly, these false allegations are a desperate cry for attention and are motivated by my client’s past rejection of the alleged victim’s unwanted advances. The fact that he’s been arrested and is being held without bond is a tragedy. He is not only presumed innocent but is, in fact, innocent,” Sheffield told Us on Friday.

He vowed, “I will work tirelessly to demonstrate to the District Attorney’s office the mean-spirited nature of these false allegations and to bring a close to this matter as quickly as possible. I’m asking the public not to presume the truth of these allegations and to give the families on both sides their space and privacy.”

KJ is one of the sons Zolciak, 48, shares with estranged husband Kroy, 40, whom she married in 2011. The exes, who split in 2023, are also parents to son Kash and twins Kaia and Kane. (Kroy also adopted Zolciak’s two eldest daughters, Ariana and Brielle, whom she welcomed during a previous relationship.)

Shortly after news broke of KJ’s arrest, Zolciak broke her silence and slammed the allegations made against her son.

Wendy Williams has been spotted on a public outing for the first time since February.

The former talk show host, 62, was spotted walking around New York City with shopping bags on Wednesday, August 19, as seen in photos obtained by Page Six. She sported a black T-shirt, high-rise jean shorts and black boots and carried a red handbag. Williams was accompanied by a male companion, with whom she was seen chatting as they walked through the streets.

During the outing, Williams was asked by a paparazzo what she had to tell fans about “what she is going through.”

According to the outlet, the TV personality responded, “I want out!”

Williams has been under a court-ordered financial and personal conservatorship in New York since May 2022. At the time, claimed to a New York Supreme Court judge that the former radio DJ was an “incapacitated person” who needed a “temporary guardian” to ensure her “affairs are being properly handled.”

Wendy Williams is stepping out for New York Fashion Week amid her guardianship battle.  Williams, 61, was photographed at the Bach Mai fashion show on Sunday, September 14, wearing a black mini-dress, gold Gucci belt and black Chanel shoes. She added a “W” necklace and red lipstick, and her hair was styled in long, glamorous […]

Sabrina E. Morrissey, a New York-based attorney, was subsequently appointed as Williams’ legal guardian.

Williams has voiced her opposition to the guardianship and denied that she is cognitively impaired.

“They say that I need somebody to handle my accounts, and I don’t want that. I want all my money,” she said on Good Morning America in 2022. “I want to see all my money that I worked hard for my entire life. My entire life. I don’t lie, and I don’t cheat, and I don’t steal. I am an honest, hardworking person.”

In 2018, Williams revealed that she had been quietly battling Graves’ disease, a chronic autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. Her battle with the illness led her to take a hiatus from The Wendy Williams Show in 2020. (The talk show was later canceled in 2022 amid Williams’ health struggles.)

Williams’ team later announced in 2024 that she had been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia (FTD) and aphasia the year prior. FTD is a group of brain diseases that affect the frontal and temporal lobes of the brain and lead to problems with thinking and behavior.

Following her diagnosis, Williams was placed in a treatment center, where her family was unable to contact her.

Last year, Williams submitted paperwork to end her conservatorship in February 2025, but the filing was denied.

The following month, Williams told Page Six that she felt “better than good” amid her health and conservatorship battles.

“I am fabulous. I’m better than good, but have been accused to being otherwise,” she told the outlet in March 2025. “I am very much alive. I deserve freedom, darling.”

Her ex-husband, Kevin Hunter, also filed a $250 million lawsuit in June 2025 attempting to end the guardianship, claiming it had “become a weapon, not a shield.”

Hunter, who was married to Williams from 1999 to 2020, claimed that his ex was “being abused, neglected, and defrauded under the care of court-appointed guardians.”

Williams’ lawyers said they found Hunter’s lawsuit to be “detrimental” to the media personality’s interests, Us reported in July 2025.

“Moreover, [Williams] herself does not believe the complaint is in her best interest,” the paperwork read. (Hunter’s lawsuit was ultimately dismissed in October 2025.)

Former royal butler Grant Harrold has exclusively told Us that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may, in part, be moving back to the U.K. to get closer to King Charles III.

“I imagine King Charles has played a part in their decision, and Harry wanting to spend more time with his father,” Harrold, 48, says. “I think behind closed doors Harry and the King have been working hard to heal their relationship. Only so much can be done when they live so far apart, so I think this is Harry making his dad his priority, which is really nice to see.”

He adds, “I think the King will be delighted to have his son and daughter-in-law closer to home. He’s well aware that their rift will never be healed when they’re only seeing each other once a twice a year, this is the next step that’s needed if they want to heal their relationship.”

It was reported earlier this week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex intend to relocate from their current residence in Montecito, California, in time for their son Prince Archie, 7, and daughter, Princess Lilibet, 5, to begin school in the U.K. in September.

Prince Harry is looking forward to coming back home after spending six years in California. “Harry is not as happy in the U.S. as he is in the U.K.,” a source exclusively shares with Us after news broke that the Duke of Sussex and wife Meghan Markle would be moving back to Britain. “They aim […]

The Sussexes most recently visited with the King, 77, and Queen Camilla at Highgrove House in Gloucestershire, England, on July 10 during Harry’s whirlwind U.K. trip to promote the Invictus Games. This was Charles’ first time seeing Harry and Meghan’s children in person in four years.

While Harrold suspects Charles will be “delighted” to see the Sussexes returning to the U.K., he hinted there may still be concerns about Harry’s ongoing rift with older brother Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton.

“I think the King will be concerned about William’s reaction. His biggest challenge is going to be acting as peace negotiation between his two sons,” the former royal butler predicts. “The King won’t just be thinking about the now, he’s thinking about the future.”

The king may have a tough task ahead of him since Harrold suspects that William, 44, may not be particularly willing to make peace with Harry, 41, at this stage following the shocking claims made in his book, Spare, and Netflix docuseries, Harry & Meghan.

The Duke of Sussex, however, said that he wanted to mend fences amid Charles’ ongoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

“I doubt Harry’s move back to the U.K. is going to completely heal things between William and Harry. It will take a lot more than that. Too much happened,” he tells Us. “It will be a situation where actions mean more than words. William will need to see Harry continuously making an effort to heal the rift. Right now, I don’t see things healing. I think they will be poker faced and play happy families, but behind the scenes it will take a lot more.”

The royal expert hinted, “By returning to the U.K., the Sussexes will inevitably suck up all the oxygen in the room. They will generate countless tabloid stories and take the focus away from other members of the Royal family, which is a major no-no. King Charles and Queen Camilla, in particular, don’t like to be upstaged, and the same goes for William.”
