Love Island USA‘s Aftersun hosts Ciara Miller and Tefi Pessoa finally clarified what “French fries” meant after the code word was used to describe a sex act.

During the Saturday, June 27, episode of the show, Tefi asked what Trinity Tatum meant by that phrase before mimicking a manual sex act with her hand. Ciara confirmed she was right, adding, “French fry — two fingers.”

The Sunday, June 21, episode briefly showed Kenzie and Corbin hooking up in bed. The next morning, Trinity said she heard someone performing “French fries,” which sounded “too wet” to just be a kiss. In a confessional, Kenzie confirmed she shared a heated exchange with Corbin.

“I was definitely getting some French fries. Feeling good,” she gushed. “We were probably doing a bit much honestly but I feel a strong connection with Corbin. We probably got a little bit carried away.”

Love Island USA introduced a new code word when “French fries” was used to describe a sex act between Kenzie Annis and Corbin Mims. The Sunday, June 21, episode briefly showed Kenzie and Corbin hooking up in bed. The next morning, Trinity Tatum said she heard someone performing “French fries,” which sounded “too wet” to […]

Based on the footage, French fries hinted at manual sex acts such as a hand job. Viewers, meanwhile, pointed out that it likely meant an appetizer ahead of a full meal.

Love Island USA originally premiered in the U.K. in 2002 before it expanded worldwide with various spinoffs, including Love Island USA on Peacock. The series follows a different group of singles every season who have to pair off in order to stay in the show’s luxury villa.

The contestants — referred to as Islanders — live in isolation in a villa and are under constant video surveillance. They must be coupled up to remain on the show and stand a chance at receiving the$100,000 prize.

While finding a connection that you want to explore more intimately isn’t out of the question, season 7 of Love Island USA seemed to set some sort of record with the amount of times Islanders were caught hooking up — until season 8.

From Hannah Fields and Pepe Garcia to Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown, the reality stars found ways around having to address their sexual encounters for all of America to hear.

“We had a code name for intimacy,” Hannah exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2025. “We would say, ‘How was your journey? What was this journey like?’ Huda [started it when she] said something like, ‘Oh, I had a journey. My journey went all the way.’”

Season 8 escalated the sex that took place in the villa with multiple couples going all the way while sharing a bedroom in the villa. The potential has only escalated with Casa Amor being introduced halfway into Sunday’s episode.

New episodes of Love Island USA are released six days a week — except for Wednesdays — on Peacock.

Vanderpump Rules alum Tom Sandoval broke his silence amid his legal dispute with ex-girlfriend Victoria Lee Robinson and her father.

On Saturday, June 27, Sandoval, 42, and Robinson, 33, were both in the company of police at the Los Angeles area residence they both shared as they separately removed items from the home. During one heated moment captured by TMZ, a woman — presumed to be Robinson — could be heard telling Sandoval, “I f***ing hate you. Just like all of your ex-girlfriends, nobody likes you.” (Sandoval previously had a contentious breakup with Ariana Madix after he confessed to cheating on her with their Vanderpump Rules costar Rachel “Raquel” Leviss.)

As he left the premises, Sandoval briefly spoke with TMZ about why he and Robinson were both at the property at the same time.

“Victoria and her father were just issued an immediate move out order, a restraining order … The police are here to make sure [they leave],” he explained.

Asked if he thought the dispute would be resolved “today,” he swiftly replied, “No.”

Law enforcement sources told the outlet the police were present simply to keep that peace between both sides and that no laws were broken.

Us Weekly has reached out to representatives for both parties for comment.

On Thursday, June 24, Sandoval requested a domestic violence restraining order against Victoria and her father, J. Will Robinson, accusing them of “verbal and physical abuse” during a confrontation on June 3.

The Traitors star wrote a lengthy declaration to the court where he accused Will of attacking him. He also alleged that Victoria struck him in the face during a heated confrontation over whether she was recording him without permission.

“I am seeking a restraining order against [Will] based on the verbal and physical abuse he has perpetrated against me, the most recent incident being on June 3, wherein he grabbed me and restrained me, chased me into the bedroom and punched a 12-inch hole in my spare bedroom door where I was barricading myself,” Sandoval wrote in his impact statement. “I am afraid of [Will] and his daughter and request the Court’s protection.”

Fresh off his run on season 3 of The Traitors, Tom Sandoval has settled back into normal life. That means he’s spending plenty of time with his girlfriend, Victoria Lee Robinson. After his split from Ariana Madix, Sandoval, 42, is happy to “grow together” with Robinson, 32. “Victoria is a very strong and supportive woman […]

Per Sandoval, Will “put his face in the hole in the door and smiled telling me he will ‘f***’ me up, ‘destroy’ me and called me a ‘motherf***er.’” Police arrived and arrested Victoria, with Sandoval acknowledging that he helped bail her out of jail.

“Ms. Robinson was arrested when it became clear that she had attacked me. As I saw her being arrested, in the heat of the moment, I asked the police officers the process by which she could be bailed out,” he wrote. “I even foolishly accepted Ms. Robinson’s phone call from jail and lent her mother financial assistance for the bail. In hindsight, I deeply regret that decision.”

Sandoval made a litany of other allegations of physical and emotional abuse against the Robinsons, as well as accusing Victoria of tampering with his devices and using a GPS tracker on his car.

An alleged video of the incident subsequently emerged, which appeared to show Sandoval shoving Will into a lit fire pit during a scuffle. He then seemingly fled into the home, with Will following him.

On Friday, June 27, Will filed his own request for a restraining order against Sandoval, alleging that he suffered a ruptured disc in his back, as well as a broken thumb and elbow and a wound on his heel. A court ruled against him initially, stating on Friday that it needed “more information at a properly noticed hearing” before any final decision could be made.

Despite the recent box-office underperformance of Shelter, Jason Statham remains one of the last remaining action stars who can pull audiences on the strength of his name alone. Shelter has been killing it on the home video market, first on PVOD and then on streaming. As we speak, it’s the number one movie on the domestic Starz chart, according to FlixPatrol. Several of his other recent films, particularly The Beekeeper and A Working Man, are essentially fixtures on the streaming charts. Statham’s next offering is The Beekeeper 2, which will be released during the period of the year that he seems to have staked out for his movies: January. Until then, however, his fans can keep themselves entertained with items from his back-catalog. One of Statham’s most overlooked movies is currently available to stream on Paramount+ in the United States, but it won’t stick around for much longer.

The movie in question was released in 2013, but it was originally conceived as part of the Rambo franchise by Sylvester Stallone. The action icon had recently worked with Statham on The Expendables, a franchise that he would eventually attempt to hand over to Statham several years later. The 2013 action movie was written by Stallone himself, and it also featured Winona Ryder, Kate Bosworth, Frank Grillo, and James Franco as the villain. Directed by Gary Fleder, the film was a solid success, grossing $51 million worldwide against a reported budget of $22 million.

Here’s How Long You Have Left to Watch Jason Statham’s Action Movie on Paramount+

We’re talking, of course, about Homefront, which features Statham as a former DEA agent who gets sucked back, John Wick-style, into his dangerous past life while living quietly in Louisiana. The movie holds a 42% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “While it boasts a capable cast, the disappointingly dull Homefront hearkens back to classic action thrillers without adding anything to the genre.” Like most Statham movies, Homefront‘s audience score on Rotten Tomatoes is higher than its critics’ score: 61%. This is perhaps one of the many reasons behind its sustained success on streaming. The movie will remain available to stream on the Paramount+ streaming service until July 1. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

Tom Bateman joining the film adaptation of The Love Hypothesis is a casting of epic proportions if you know the Star Wars — and Reylo — lore, but how are the two connected?

Ali Hazelwood‘s The Love Hypothesis was an overnight success when the book was published in 2021. But to some Star Wars fans — at least if you rooted for Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) — it might have sounded familiar after getting its start as fanfiction.

According to the synopsis, The Love Hypothesis follows Olive as she tries to convince her best friend into thinking her dating life is great. To help with the lie, she pretends to date her professor, Adam, and the twosome try to make everyone around them think they are in love. But soon, they start to forget that their feelings are supposed to be fake.”

The Love Hypothesis becoming a mainstream hit paved the way for it to be developed into a movie, which is where things get interesting. In October 2022, it was announced that a film adaptation of the novel was in development and three years later Lili Reinhart joined the cast. It wasn’t until her onscreen love interest — Bateman — was announced that people pointed out the irony.

Does the actor fit the book? Chalk this up as a question readers ask every time a new film adaptation is announced. From Scarlett O’Hara to Bella Swan, Harry Potter to Mr. Darcy, the casting of well-known, well-loved book characters is a delicate art. For every actor fans embrace, there’s another they want to cast […]

Bateman isn’t just known for his roles in Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile and Based on a True Story. He has also been married to Ridley since 2023. Yes, the same actress who inspired the fanfiction that then was redeveloped as The Love Hypothesis.

Keep scrolling for a breakdown of the connection — including what Ridley has said about The Love Hypothesis:

What Inspired ‘The Love Hypothesis’?

Before Hazelwood’s The Love Hypothesis was in fact The Love Hypothesis. It was originally a fan fiction story about Rey and Kylo Ren  from the new Star Wars movies. Similar to Fifty Shades of Grey getting its star as Twilight fan fiction, The Love Hypothesis was a story posted to Archive of Our Own with the title Head Over Feet.

“My agent started reading my fanfiction on AO3 and then she reached out with a DM. She was like, ‘I saw that you wrote something about maybe pulling some of your fics and reworking them. And I wanted to tell you that I’m a literary agent and I would love to see you some of your manuscripts, if you’re interested in it,’” the author told Collider in 2021. “And so that’s how I took the fanfiction of mine that I thought was the most reworkable and I sent it to her and then I signed with her. And then after approximately 70 billion more revisions, both with her and an editor … we got a lot of RNRs [revise and resubmits] that didn’t pan out but made the book better, because we got really good feedback.”

How Does Reylo Fit Into the ‘Star Wars’ Equation?

The Star Wars sequel trilogy introduced viewers to a new generation of characters — and relationships. The Force Awakens, which premiered in 2015, hinted at a potential romance between Rey and Finn (John Boyega) after they joined the Resistance in an effort to take down the First Order.

In the next two films, Finn’s story line was put on the back burner as Rey’s unexplained connection with Kylo Ren took center stage.

“I don’t think [their relationship is] all one thing,” Driver explained to Entertainment Weekly in 2019. “Part of the fun of playing it is the boundaries of it keep changing. At times it’s more intimate, sometimes less intimate. Sometimes it’s codependent. And then it’s, obviously, adversarial.”

Meanwhile, Ridley questioned what kind of future the pair could have together. “I do know about Reylo. I don’t know how I feel about it because everyone’s talking about the toxic thing of a relationship when it’s essentially emotional [abuse]. It’s a tricky road,” the actress told fans at Star Wars Celebration that same year.

She added: “I do feel like, deep down, Kylo thinks what he’s doing is right and he doesn’t think he’s wrong, but he has also killed so many people. So I can’t really get behind in that, in a personal way. Maybe there’s redemption. Who knows? Maybe we explore that in the film.”

In The Last Jedi, Rey and Kylo Ren shared a kiss before the villain’s ultimate demise. They don’tend up together, however, since Kylo Ren dies by the end of the movie.

What Hints at Reylo Have Remained in ‘The Love Hypothesis’?

After being published online in 2018 as Head Over Feet, the main characters were renamed Olive and Adam (in honor of Adam Driver) once the story turned into a novel. The Star Wars references were also cut but the cover still features characters designed to resemble Driver and Ridley.

Who Stars in ‘The Love Hypothesis’?

In July 2025, Reinhert announced her involvement in the film adaptation as an executive producer and star. Her onscreen love interest was announced days later and it was none other than Ridley’s real-life husband. The movie will be released on Prime Video on September 23.

Have Daisy or Adam Spoken About ‘The Love Hypothesis’?

Ridley was asked about the connection while speaking to Collider in 2023, to which she replied, “I mean, honestly, for anyone to just write a book is so impressive, let alone a New York Times bestseller, let alone something inspired by something I was part of. That’s very thrilling.”

She continued: “So, thank you, if anyone’s reading this. Whoever wrote The Love Hypothesis and The Hurricane Wars. Wow. F***ing cool.”

Bateman, meanwhile, gushed about his wife’s support for his work when asked by ExtraTV in June 2026.

That loving feeling! Courteney Cox’s romantic past is full of bright stars and big names, which echoes her career.

After dancing in the dark with Bruce Springsteen in 1984, the Alabama native landed the role of Monica Geller on Friends in 1994 — and she rose to superstardom shortly after.

As the show took off, Cox’s off-screen dating life became as exciting as some of her onscreen romances. While Monica was hooking up with the likes of Tom Selleck’s Dr. Richard Burke and Matthew Perry’s Chandler Bing on the comedy, the actress was cozying up to some of Hollywood’s leading men.

“Relationships are tougher than I thought,” the Cougar Town alum told USA Today in 1997, after ending a six-year relationship with Michael Keaton. “And I’ve got a lot of work to do on myself.”

At the time, the Dirt star revealed she hadn’t given up hope on actors successfully dating one another, adding, “The most important thing is to be with someone who’s creative and passionate about what they do.”

Cox later took her own advice, by marrying fellow Scream star, David Arquette in 1999. The two were together for more than a decade before announcing their split in October 2010. Once the divorce was finalized, the Ace Ventura: Pet Detective actress opened up to Ellen DeGeneres about her dynamic with Arquette outside of marriage.

“He’s my best friend in the world,” Cox said of her ex-husband in January 2013 on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “I love him.”

The actress did, however, recommend that people try to avoid divorce if possible, noting that in her case it happened to work out. “He is my best friend and we’ve both grown and changed, and I think we both appreciate each other more,” Cox added. “I hope he does. I do.”

That same year, the Bedtime Stories actress found love again with musician Johnny McDaid, whom she got engaged to after six months of dating. The two called off their engagement in 2015, but later rekindled their romance.

“Well, we love each other and we are — yes, we’re happy!” Cox told Us Weekly exclusively in May 2016. McDaid gushed about his love to Us saying, “I know that I’ve never loved like I love this woman.”

News broke on June 27, 2026, that the actress and musician officially called it quits after more than a decade together. Multiple media outlets, including People and the Daily Mail, reported on the split.

Scroll down to see which famous faces Cox has been linked to over the years:

Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears, is “one proud meemaw” following her grandsons Sean Preston and Jayden’s runway debut at Paris Fashion Week.

“I am so proud of my grandsons, Preston and Jayden. They both walked in Paris Fashion Week for Vetements Official as Celebrity Guest[s],” Lynne, 71, beamed via Instagram on Saturday, June 27.

Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, took part in the fashion world’s elite runway event on Friday, June 26, when they walked for the Vetements Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show.

Sean Preston was the epitome of suave in a black dress shirt covered by a long jacket over crisp denim pants. Jayden went for a more breezy look in a white tank with light-wash jeans, paired with a brown leather belt and V-letter chain on his pants.

It has been reported in recent months that the boys have grown closer with their mother, Britney, 44, including Us Weekly confirming in April that they’d taken on her last name for professional purposes. (The boys have not legally changed their surname from Federline to Spears at this time. Their father is Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline.)

Following Britney’s arrest for suspicion of DUI in March, her spokesperson told Us that the musician would be “spending time” with Preston and Jayden while her loved ones came up with “an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”

Britney ultimately entered rehab in April, reportedly after consultation with both of her sons.

“Britney went to rehab after several conversations with both of her sons,” a source confirmed to Us at the time. “They expressed concern about her recent behavior and urged her to seek professional help, which has been long overdue, to get her back on track. All they’ve ever wanted for their mom is health and happiness, even during the years they were estranged. They hope she’ll take it seriously.”

The “Toxic” singer was reportedly hesitant to seek treatment until family members were “finally able to talk some sense into her and convince her it needed to happen,” per a source.

“Britney was a bundle of nerves heading to rehab because it’s very hard for her to trust outsiders and follow a routine that isn’t her own, but she’ll do just about anything for her kids,” the insider added. “Their relationship is in the best place it’s been in years, and she doesn’t want to jeopardize that by continuing on a destructive path.”

Britney resolved her DUI case after completing her rehab stay. On May 4, she pleaded guilty to a lesser charge known as “wet reckless driving” in exchange for a misdemeanor count of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol being dismissed.

Related: Britney Spears Returns to Instagram With Son Jayden After DUI Arrest

Britney Spears is back on Instagram three weeks after her DUI arrest. Spears, 44, took to the social media site on Friday, March 27, with a video featuring her son Jayden, 19, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. (The pair are also parents of son Sean Preston, 20.) The montage featured several clips of […]

“Through her plea today, Britney has accepted responsibility for her conduct,” her lawyer, Michael Goldstein, told Us in a statement in May. “She has taken significant steps to implement positive change which is clearly reflected in the Ventura County District Attorney’s decision to reduce the charge in this case and dismiss the DUI. Britney appreciates this discretion and is also grateful for the outpouring of support she has received.”

She was sentenced to 12 months of probation and one day in jail, with time served for the period she spent in custody. She is required to complete a DUI class and pay state-mandated fines and fees of $571, as well as meet with a psychologist once a week and a psychiatrist twice a month.

Britney Spears is once again at the center of public attention after revealing her desire to have another child.

The comment has reportedly sparked concern among some family members and friends, who believe the singer is serious and question whether now is the right time for such a major decision.

At the same time, reports suggest Britney Spears has been making progress in her recovery, strengthening her relationship with her sons and pushing back against renewed scrutiny over her recent behavior.

A recent social media post from Spears has sparked fresh discussion about her future after the singer revealed she would like to have another child.

The 44-year-old revealed her intentions on an Instagram post shared on Father’s Day, accompanying a video of herself dancing.

According to Star Magazine, sources revealed that Spears is “deadly serious” about the idea and is exploring different possibilities for expanding her family.

The singer reportedly “believes she can still get pregnant naturally, but if that doesn’t happen quickly, she’s willing to go down the surrogate or adoption route.”

Spears is already the mother of two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, both of whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Reports further allege that she has been discussing what she would want in a future partner should she decide to pursue parenthood again.

The Singer’s Loved Ones Fear She’s ‘Still Deeply Troubled’ And Shouldn’t Be Thinking Of Having A Baby

The possibility of another child has reportedly sparked concern among some of Spears’ family members and friends, who believe she should prioritize her personal well-being before taking on additional responsibilities.

According to the publication, those close to the singer worry that to “add a baby into the mix when she’s clearly still deeply troubled is absolute madness.”

Concerns among those close to Spears intensified following a series of personal and legal challenges earlier this year.

The singer was arrested in California on suspicion of driving under the influence before later entering a rehabilitation program, where she remained for several weeks.

She subsequently resolved the legal matter by pleading guilty to a lesser charge and accepting probation along with an alcohol education program as part of the agreement.

Sources Say Britney Spears’ Inner Circle Is Determined To Block Baby Plans Even Through ‘Legal Route’

Sources claim that Spears’ recent legal troubles and public behavior have reinforced the concerns of some people in her inner circle.

Some of her family members and friends are now reportedly “determined to put a stop to her baby plans, even if that means going down the legal route again.”

At the same time, there have been signs of progress in Spears’ personal life. While her sons prepare for appearances at Paris Fashion Week, the singer has been keeping a relatively low profile in Los Angeles.

Recent reports have described her as “doing really well” following her rehabilitation stay, with continued counseling and a renewed focus on her future.

Britney Spears’ Sons Reportedly Played Key Role In Her Recovery Journey

Insiders have also credited Sean and Jayden with encouraging their mother to seek help when she needed it most.

According to reports, the brothers staged a heartfelt intervention, making it clear how important it was for her to address her struggles while reaffirming their love and support.

“It was like, ‘Mom, you have to go if you want us coming around,’” the insider said.

Sources say the conversation had a significant impact on Spears, who reportedly recognized that maintaining a strong relationship with her sons was a powerful motivation for making changes.

Those close to the family claim the experience ultimately strengthened their bond and left her feeling more optimistic about the future.

The source continued, “She wants a relationship with them, which would have been jeopardized if she didn’t go. So she made the right move, and they say she seems happy about it.”

Britney Spears’ Team Slams’ Erratic’ Dinner Claims As ‘Completely Blown Out Of Proportion’

Meanwhile, Spears’ representatives have recently pushed back against separate reports that portrayed her as behaving erratically during a dinner outing in Los Angeles.

The claims, which circulated after an incident at Blue Dog Tavern in Sherman Oaks, alleged that the singer was acting strangely and was seen carrying a knife.

Her representative dismissed the reports as “completely blown out of proportion,” stating that Spears was simply having dinner with her assistant and bodyguard and was never a danger to anyone.

According to the statement, “at no point did she put anyone in danger with a knife. She was cutting her hamburger in half. This constant attack on everything that she does, and this is exactly what happened 20 years ago when the media tried to depict Britney as a bad person. This is ridiculous, and it needs to stop now.”

Proud Democrat Bill Maher is revealing the reason he’d cross the political divide and vote for a Republican for president.

“If this is where the Democratic party is going… this obsession with Israel, with the Jew-hating, with they don’t believe in capitalism, no prisons, if this is where they’re going, my vote is in play,” Maher, 70, told Vice President JD Vance on the Friday, June 26, episode of his HBO Max show Real Time with Bill Maher.

“It’s either going to be you or Rubio,” the comedian continued, referring to former senator Marco Rubio, who memorably — and somewhat viciously — ran against President Trump in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election but who now serves as secretary of state under Trump’s second administration.

Maher’s claims about the so-called direction of the Democratic party come after a slew of wins for politicians running as Democratic Socialists, including New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and newly-elected members of Congress Claire Valdez, Darializa Avila Chevalier, Aber Kawas and Brad Lander.

Jimmy Kimmel and Bill Maher have not been seeing eye-to-eye lately.

“Here’s my dealbreaker for your side,” Mayer continued to Vance, 41, before describing the reason why a Republican candidate would not — could not — secure his vote. “Under Trump, you guys have two outcomes that an election can be, either we win or they cheated. That s*** has to stop. And that means the person who has to stop it will be you, or Marco. Can you tell me you will do that?”

Trump has repeatedly claimed that he won the 2020 presidential election against former President Joe Biden despite losing the popular and electoral votes. The president and other high-level administration officials have claimed the election was “rigged” despite failing to provide a shred of evidence proving election fraud.

Instead of promising to stop lying about potential election outcomes, Vance doubled down on election fraud conspiracy theories, which have become popular among MAGA Republicans and conservatives. (According to one CNN poll, nearly 70 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning voters believe the 2020 presidential election was “rigged” and Biden’s win was not legitimate.)

Vice President JD Vance is attempting to assure a consistently suspicious American public that President Donald Trump is not hiding anything when it comes to the highly-publicized Jeffrey Epstein files. “What I disagree with is the idea that the White House wasn’t committed to full transparency. We have to remember I was inside of the […]

“OK, Bill, so this is where I’m probably going to lose ya there,” Vance responded. “I don’t think we should not concede elections, but I don’t think that’s what’s going on … The biggest criticism I had of the 2020 election is that you had technology companies that were quite literally censoring negative information about the left and promoting negative information about the right.” (According to Media Matters, a progressive research center that monitors right-wing online content, engagement data from that time period shows that Facebook and other social media platforms promoted right-leaning content more than left-leaning content.)

“Well, you’re going to get a big pat on the back when you go back to the White House,” Maher retorted.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani is facing the pervasive rumor that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are getting married at the iconic Madison Square Garden head on — well, sorta.

“You know, what I am here to say is that whoever is getting married in New York City, I think it’s hard to beat the City Clerk’s Office but many will try and soon there will be more news,” Mamdani, 34, told ABC News Chief Washington Correspondent Jonathan Karl in a preview clip of an upcoming interview for ABC’s This Week shared on Saturday, June 27.

“Is somebody getting married at Madison Square Garden on July 3rd?” Karl persisted. “Somebody famous?”

After Swift, 36, and Kelce, also 36, got engaged in August 2025, rumors have swirled regarding their impending nuptials — everything from who has received an invite to the wedding venue to the date and time.

Recently, new clues have emerged to support the claim that the pair plan to say “I do” at Madison Square Garden. The New York Times reported on Wednesday, June 24, that a permit was filed with New York City to close the streets around the venue from July 2 to midday July 4 for an event on July 3, according to three people who have knowledge of the matter.

“Are you hearing that?” Mamdani replied to Karl, refusing to answer the question at all. “I think they’re calling me now.”

A source exclusively told Us Weekly on Saturday that not even the wedding guests know exactly where the pair’s star-studded nuptials will take place.

“Taylor and Travis told guests to be in NYC,” the insider explained. “No other location was provided.” All the guests know, according to the source, is that invitees need to be in New York City on Thursday, July 2, and Friday, July 3.

“They’re putting their guests on hold for a couple days,” the source added. “They are spending a lot of money — in the millions.”

Another source has confirmed to Us that the pair’s nuptials will, in fact, take place inside Madison Square Garden.

Other insiders have shared exclusive details regarding the pair’s wedding planning, noting that they initially wanted to say “I do” in Rhode Island but had to pivot due to safety concerns.

“Taylor and Travis really wanted their wedding in Rhode Island, and June 13 was the date, but security wouldn’t have worked because it could get out of hand with that kind of scale of an event,” an insider revealed on Saturday. “Ocean House [in Westerly] was planned at one point, and then plans changed to New York.”

The source added, “Rhode Island wasn’t great because the nature of the access and the perimeters were too difficult to secure. So the main issue with Rhode Island ended up being security.”

Harry Styles fans were concerned for the singer’s health after viral video footage appeared to show him choking on water and collapsing onstage in London.

The “Aperture” singer, 32, performed at Wembley Stadium in London on Friday, June 26, as part of his Together, Together Tour, but appeared to struggle towards the end of the set as he delighted fans with his signature water-spouting routine.

Viral footage captured a moment where Styles seemingly choked on some water while wrapping up show-closer “As It Was.” The former One Direction band member then fell to the ground and heaved multiple times while appearing to try to catch his breath.

Styles was on the ground for nearly 20 seconds — during which time he loosened his tie and patted his chest — before he pulled himself back up and ran around the stage to finish the performance. The TikTok footage showed the back of Styles’ blue shirt drenched with sweat as he finished the concert.

Us Weekly has reached out to Styles’ representative for comment on the incident.

Fans showed concern as the video quickly went viral, with many sending well-wishes for Styles in comments on the viral video.

“How come no one came and checked on him???” one viewer asked, while another pointed out, “Water went down the wrong pipe. He’s a performer and knew to lie down and cough for theatrics instead of awkwardly standing and coughing. He’s a pro. Love him. Glad he’s ok.”

“Oh that man was DYING in the heat,” a third theorized.

Despite the incident on Friday, Styles was scheduled to perform at Wembley Stadium once again on Saturday, June 27.

The outdoor show at Wembley Stadium came in the middle of a week where the ​Met Office, Britain’s national meteorological service, offered repeated extreme heat warnings. On Thursday, June 26, Met Office Chief Meteorologist Andy Page issued a “Red Warning” for London and much of the southeastern U.K., among other areas.

“This exceptional spell of hot and humid weather will maintain its grip on the UK for a little longer,” Page warned on Thursday. “Although the current red warning for areas in more central and western parts of England and Wales will expire later today, the heatwave will still be bringing high temperatures to these areas, albeit moving away from the peak heat of Wednesday and Thursday.”

Page went on, “We are expecting that some daytime maximum temperatures could exceed 36°C (96.8°F), perhaps rising to 37°C (98.6°F) in some locations.”
