Vivica A. Fox Is Manifesting A Third ‘Kill Bill’ Movie
Vivica A. Fox is pushing for a third “Kill Bill” movie more than two decades after the franchise first captivated audiences. The actress is actively manifesting another installment, expressing hope that director Quentin Tarantino will eventually return to the iconic story. Fox also reflected on how thrilled she was to land a role, recalling the intense and grueling training she underwent to prepare for her action-heavy scenes.
Tarantino previously entertained the idea of another “Kill Bill” movie, but later changed his stance, saying the story was complete.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Vivica A. Fox expressed her desire for “Kill Bill 3.” In “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” released in 2003, Fox portrayed the role of Vernita Green, aka Copperhead, an elite assassin-turned-housewife.
The saga follows former assassin Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman), known as The Bride, as she exacts revenge on the five people who betrayed her, including Copperhead. The Bride killed Copperhead in an action-packed fight in the latter’s kitchen, with the scene ending in Vernita’s daughter, Nikki, seeing the carnage.
“I’d love for us to be able to do Kill Bill 3 soon,” Fox said. Despite her character’s death, the 61-year-old actress said she could return as a presence warning her daughter. At the end of their fight sequence, The Bride addressed Nikki, saying, “When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I’ll be waiting,” implying that she’s expecting the girl to avenge her mother’s death.
Fox also presented the idea of appearing in a flashback sequence if “Kill Bill 3” gets made.
Vivica A. Fox Felt Like She Was Training For The Olympics
Fox performed almost all of her own stunts in her fight scene, except for falling on the glass table. According to the actress, she underwent six months of intense training as preparation.
In an interview for Cocoa Butter in 2025, Fox said the choreographed fight was “vicious,” and she went down several dress sizes. “I literally went from like a size 8/10 down to a size 2. I couldn’t even hold onto the weight,” she explained.
The actress also reminisced about that time with the Daily Mail, saying, “I thought we were like training for the Olympics, but everyone was so dedicated, check their egos at the door, and that’s why the film has become a classic.”
While her character died in “Kill Bill Vol. 1,” Copperhead returned for “Kill Bill Vol. 2” in flashback sequences.
Vivica A. Fox Keeps In Touch With Quentin Tarantino
The actress was asked whether there have been discussions about a third “Kill Bill” movie. “Keep putting it out there in the universe, we just need for Quentin to pick it up and make another,” she responded.
Fox said she had been in contact with the director over the years, and they also see each other at various events. The actress gushed about being cast in “Kill Bill,” expressing how “thrilled” she was to have had the opportunity to work with other stars, including Thurman, Lucy Liu, and Daryl Hannah. She also praised Tarantino, saying, “His contributions as a filmmaker is just undeniable.”
Quentin Tarantino Had An Idea For ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3″
In an interview with Andy Cohen on “Radio Andy” in 2019, Tarantino was asked about the possibility of a third “Kill Bill” movie. At that time, the filmmaker said he had just discussed it with Thurman, revealing that he had an idea.
Tarantino said that he’s toying with the idea of what happened to The Bride after the events in the two movies, but doesn’t want a nonsensical plot. “She doesn’t deserve that. The Bride has fought long and hard,” he explained.
Despite not revealing details about his idea, he shared his timeline, saying, “Now I have an idea that would be interesting. I wouldn’t do it for a little bit. It would be like at least three years from now, or something like that. But it is definitely in the cards,” he said.
The Director Shut Down The Idea Of ‘Kill Bill Vol. 3’
Tarantino teased fans in the years following, even sharing the potential plot for the third movie. In a 2021 appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience,” the director said it would be set 20 years after the events in Vol. 2, focusing on The Bride and her daughter, B.B.
“The idea of casting Uma and casting her daughter, Maya, and the thing would be f-cking exciting. I mean, Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) is still out there, Sophie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus) got her arms cut off, she’s still out there. They all got Bill’s money. Gogo (Chiaki Kuriyama) had a twin sister, her twin sister could show up,” Tarantino said.
In a 2024 episode of the “Club Random Podcast” with Bill Maher, however, Tarantino firmly said he’s not doing “Kill Bill Vol. 3.” The director believes the story had a logical conclusion and told Maher, “I did it, I killed Bill.”

Andrew Garfield made a rare public appearance alongside his girlfriend of one year, Monica Barbaro, while attending this year’s iconic Wimbledon tennis tournament.
The Spider-Man star, 42, was seen holding hands with the actress, 36, on Saturday, July 4, as the pair enjoyed the Ralph Lauren suite at the recently debuted Polo Bar at Centre Court in London.
Garfield rocked long hair and a bushy beard during the outing and while appropriately wearing a light blue Ralph Lauren button-up shirt and pants. The A Complete Unknown actress, for her part, sported an equally appropriate all-white Ralph Lauren number, paired with black sunglasses and summer-worthy strappy sandals.
The couple have purposefully kept the majority of their romantic relationship outside the Hollywood spotlight. They were first romantically linked after attending W Magazine’s Best Performances party in Los Angeles in January 2025.
Andrew Garfield and Monica Barbaro are serving up love (and color-coordinated outfits) at Wimbledon. Garfield, 41, and Barbaro, 35, arrived holding hands at London’s All England Tennis and Croquet Club on Sunday, July 6. The actors twinned in all-white Ralph Lauren outfits. While Barbaro stunned in a sleeveless sundress, Garfield opted for a button-down with […]
Their most recent outing comes one year after they made their public debut at a couple during 2025’s Wimbledon tournament. For their inaugural outing, Garfield and Barbaro coordinated with white outfits and were seen walking hand-in-hand to their respective seats.
Garfield has been candid about his unapologetic decision to keep his romantic relationships private, arguing that it’s harder to make a romance work when it is made so public.
“How many of those relationships work out?” he asked while appearing on an October 2024 episode of the hit interview series Chicken Shop Date. “I mean, it’s, like, flash-in-the-pan stuff, usually.”
Still, in February 2025, a source told People that the pair were, in fact, spending quality time together as a couple.
“They’ve been really lowkey and have been spending time together quietly,” the insider told the outlet at the time.
In May of that same year, Garfield and Barbaro were spotted enjoying a night out in New York City as they caught the Broadway show John Proctor Is The Villain.
Days later, Barbaro attended the Met Gala solo days later amid the pair’s budding relationship.
Garfield, however, was seen greeting the actress at The Mark Hotel in New York City in the wake of the iconic fashion event. According to video captured by Cosmopolitan at the time, Garfield smiled at Barbaro after he saw her following a Met Gala afterparty.
Andrew Garfield and rumored girlfriend Monica Barbaro had a sweet moment after the Met Gala. While the British actor, 41, wasn’t in attendance at the annual fashion event, he was on hand to greet Barbaro, 34, as she returned to New York City’s The Mark Hotel in the early hours of Tuesday, May 6, following […]
In a previous 2019 Q&A with IMDB, Garfield opened up about his belief in love at first sight, sharing that while he is a romantic he believes society’s understanding of romantic love is “misguided.”
“Yes, I do believe in lost at first sight, but I also believe that you would love absolutely anybody if you knew their story,” he said at the time. “I believe that the modern notion of romantic love is seriously misguided and it creates a lot of problems in our modern world.”
He continued, “I believe that we need to reevaluate this idea that we have the nuclear family, this idea that we have of two-point-four children, this idea we have that it’s Adam and Eve and not Adam and Steve.”
Adam Sandler has quietly become one of the most unexpected constants in Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s love story — and in July 2026, he made it official.
The comedian officiated the couple’s star-studded black-tie wedding at Madison Square Garden following years of family fandom, movie experiences and surprise cameos that pulled him deeper into Swift and Kelce’s orbit.
Keep scrolling to revisit Sandler’s history with Swift and Kelce:
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce called on a very special friend to officiate their wedding: Adam Sandler. Swift’s rep confirms to Us Weekly that the comedian, 59, presided over the newlyweds’ big day at Madison Square Garden in New York City on Friday, July 3. Swift and Kelce, both 36, opted not to have bridesmaids […]
Adam Sandler’s Daughters Turned Him Into a Taylor Swift Fan
Sandler’s connection to Swift long predates her relationship with Kelce. On an August 2024 episode of Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, the actor revealed his daughters Sadie and Sunny — whom he shares with wife Jackie Sandler — grew up on Swift’s discography.
“I think I was shooting Grown Ups or That’s My Boy or something in Massachusetts, and the kids were little and we’re listening to Taylor Swift. We’re listening to every song,” Sandler recalled on the podcast. “It was one of the first times that you listen to every song on the record. Like, when I was a kid, I think The Beatles you did that with, maybe Elton John.”
The Sandler family previously attended the Los Angeles premiere of Swift’s Eras Tour concert film in October 2023, where Swift hugged Sunny and Sadie and chatted about their movie You Are So Not Invited to My Bat Mitzvah.
“She just floors my family,” Sandler gushed, revealing his excitement over Swift’s romance with Kelce. “When you guys first started dating, my God, was my family like, ‘Yes! Look how good they are together! Look, he’s a gentleman! And she’s having so much fun with him!’”
Taylor Swift Makes Adam Sandler Nervous
Sandler admitted on the “Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend” podcast in February 2024 that Swift makes him nervous — for family reasons.
“[It’s] because of what she means to my kids. I get a little jumpy just cause I don’t wanna blow it for my kids,” he explained. “I’m a little like, ‘Taylor Taylor,’ like, I talk a little too loud or something. I don’t act as cool as I can.”
Adam Sandler Bonded with Travis Kelce on ‘Happy Gilmore 2’
Sandler’s friendship with Kelce, meanwhile, began on the set of Happy Gilmore 2, and it almost went even further because The Kansas City Chiefs tight end was initially eyed for a bigger role.
“We were talking about you playing my son while we were writing it, literally, like, six months ago,” Sandler told Kelce on his “New Heights” podcast in 2024. “We were like, ‘Imagine if Travis was my first baby, how funny that would be.’”
Kelce, instead, plays a waiter in the sequel, which was released in 2025.
After wrapping the film, Sandler gushed about Kelce to Entertainment Tonight in July 2025.
“Travis is such a gentle, nice guy and funny as hell. He’s like the guys I grew up with,” the actor told the outlet at the time. “When I was with Travis, it reminded me of my buddies in high school and just being able to laugh and say the things you want to say.”
Adam Sandler Is Connected to Taylor Swift’s Dad
Sandler told Access Hollywood in September 2025 he recently ran into Swift’s father, Scott, at a stand-up gig. At the time, Scott handed out guitar picks to Sandler’s daughters.
“I had a stand-up show the other night and I saw Taylor’s dad. He gave me some guitar picks to give my kids and we discussed how excited we are for the new record,” Sandler said, describing the Swift family as “good people.”
Adam Sandler Officiates Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Wedding
Sandler presided over Swift and Kelce’s wedding ceremony in New York City, where roughly 1,000 guests gathered for the black-tie affair inside MSG. The bride and groom also opted against having a bridal party. Instead their respective brothers, Austin and Jason, served as Man of Honor and Best Man.
Swift and Kelce, who started dating in the summer of 2023 and got engaged in August 2025, got married in front of an A-list crowd, including Gigi Hadid, Jack Antonoff, Karlie Kloss, Ed Sheeran, Zoë Kravitz and Benson Boone.
When it comes to horror, films tend to dominate the genre, likely because it’s easier and perhaps more palatable to take your dose of terror and tension in bite-sized chunks. There are certainly horror series that are wildly popular, like Mike Flanagan‘s collaborations with Netflix or the classic American Horror Story. But they all navigate that challenge of maintaining (high-strung or undercurrents of) tension for hours on end. So, if you’re looking for another horror series that is a masterclass in sustaining tension, then Apple TV needs to be your next stop.
Based on Victor LaVelle‘s horror fantasy novel, The Changeling is a series that tosses you into a hellish version of the labyrinthine New York City streets, where multiple storylines across generations collide. The narrative itself is mind-bending and elusive, but the show grips you tightly into its claws, creating such visceral fear that it is impossible to look away. Even if you can’t quite differentiate reality from fantasy here, you feel the intensity in your bones. This hidden gem masters the ability to keep viewers on tenterhooks and needs to be on every horror fan’s must-watch list.
What Is Apple TV’s Fantasy Horror Series ‘The Changeling’ About?
While the storytelling approach to The Changeling is multi-generational, the central storyline revolves around the seemingly average couple, Apollo (LaKeith Stanfield) and Emma (Clark Backo). We watch their meet-cute, their montage of falling in love, and the moment they realize they are going to start their own family. But there is something sinister hanging over them. On an overseas trip, Emma had met a mysterious woman who had tied a red string around her wrist and claimed that three wishes of hers would come true if the string was never cut. When Emma returns from the trip six months later, Apollo cuts said string.
The woman’s words start to carry more weight when Emma psychologically spirals after the birth of their son. She starts losing sleep, receiving texts that disappear (or does she?), and eventually believes the newborn isn’t human at all. Is it postpartum depression and PTSD, or is there truth to her fears? It all comes to a head one fateful evening, where an unimaginable incident occurs, and Emma disappears into the night. As such, the series follows Apollo’s fantastical and horrifying search for Emma, which is layered with traumatic stories from their childhood (including absent fathers and house fires), and of their parents’ lives.
‘The Changeling’ Is a Masterclass of Visceral Performances From Start to Finish
The Changeling‘s ability to maintain tension and the audience’s attention is borne out of the cast’s stellar performances. In the lead is Stanfield, whose eyes are as poignantly expressive as they are in his previous roles, like in Get Out. From the wide-eyed innocence and determination to not be like his absent father to the twitching fear and rage later in the series, we are utterly trapped in the emotional depths of his eyes. Among his general acting prowess, Stanfield’s ocular talent allows the camera to indulge in plenty of close-ups, an intimate way to heighten the eerie feelings in the atmosphere. Everything Apollo feels as he caws his way through the dark underbelly of New York is immediately felt by us.
Next to him is the equally attention-grabbing Backo, who carries the weight of blurring the lines of reality in The Changeling. During the early episodes, Backo’s psychologically demanding performance creates the backbone of the show’s mystery, as Emma is the first to show signs of the potential curse looming over their family. We are constantly questioning if Emma is experiencing a severe form of postpartum depression and PTSD from her childhood, or if she really sees something we cannot. But Backo’s grueling performance ensures both interpretations carry equal weight — it doesn’t matter what the truth is, because the impact is so powerful.
Later in the series, it is Adina Porter playing Apollo’s mother, Lillian, who delivers a powerhouse performance that cinches what makes The Changeling‘s mastery over tension so meaningful. Porter flits in and out of the present timeline (where Alexis Louder takes over the role of young Lillian in the flashbacks), and usually leaves her two cents in a take-it-or-leave-it manner. But in a later episode, Porter dominates the screen with a gut-wrenching, soulful performance that weaves Lillian’s traumatic backstory with the pitfalls of everyday life in the present. She reminds us that things like low wages and mental illness are just as harmful and terrifying as the creepy forest, allowing the atmosphere to creep into the show’s discourse.
Tension Is the Source of Horror in Apple TV’s ‘The Changeling’
The first season of The Changeling isn’t necessarily meant to be fully understood, but is supposed to be felt. It only covers half of the source material, so the season establishes multiple moving parts that will be explained in a potential second season. As such, building tension and anticipation is paramount in this season and becomes the epicenter of all the horror felt by the audience.
While the performances are the cornerstone to achieving this, they are supplemented by unsettling camera angles and non-linear storytelling. By oscillating between timelines, it creates a disorienting effect that keeps us on our toes while still allowing the power of generational trauma to be felt. Everything is designed to keep us off-kilter, sustaining a truly unsettling watch from start to finish.
Apple TV’s 9-Part Sci-Fi Series Is Perfect From the First Episode to the Last
The finale will leave you eagerly awaiting Season 2.
The Changeling is a completely underrated horror series that succeeds in making every scene brimming with tension, whether that be due to trembling anticipation or overflowing fear. Stanfield, Backo, and Porter lead us down a dark and sordid path, where the harsh realities of everyday life are reimagined into insidious visuals that cause just as much damage. Featuring scorching performances and a haunting tale, these eight episodes deserve a bigger audience and will entice you from their first eerie scenes.

Cameron Diaz rode the romantic comedy train until the very end. She was the breakout star of There’s Something About Mary and then kept cranking out romantic comedies for over a decade, ending with 2014’s Sex Tape opposite her Bad Teacher co-star Jason Segel. Now on Netflix, the comedy isn’t the best she’s ever done, but it does stand out as ever since, Hollywood has become allergic to the thought of a mid-budget sex romp comedy. No one’s approached YouPorn for product placement ever since.
Cameron Diaz And Jason Segel Have No Idea How The Cloud Works
Sex Tape is a different type of romantic comedy. Cameron Diaz and Jason Segel play Annie and Jay, a married couple who still love each other, but the days of spontaneous sex marathons are behind them. That leads to the idea of filming a sex tape with the goal of hitting every single position from the Joy of Sex. It works, except Jay isn’t able to delete the video afterwards. Every iPad he’s given away for Christmas has synced to the Cloud and since he set them up, his videos are accessible from each and every one of them.
That kicks off a race against time to remove the video from all of the iPads, though they admit what happened to their friends, Robby and Tess (Rob Corddry and Elle Kemper), who decide to tag along since they have nothing better to do. Sex Tape rapidly devolves from there into doing cocaine with Annie’s boss (Rob Lowe) and breaking into the YouPorn headquarters complete with a cameo from Jack Black. Despite the premise, if you enjoyed Game Night, Sex Tape hits similar beats and jokes.
The Last Comedy Diaz Made Before Her Hiatus
The outlandish plot and the audience’s waning appetite for comedy didn’t hurt Sex Tape at the box office. A production budget of $40 million was tripled during its run, and that’s not including the DVD/Blu-Ray sales of over $7 million, both of which were pushed with an “Unrated” cut of the movie. Coming in fourth in its opening weekend meant losing to Planes: Fire and Rescue, which likely stung a little. Diaz and Segel’s second outing together has been a streaming staple ever since ensuring that they’ve had the last laugh.
Sex Tape was one of Cameron Diaz’s last projects before a nearly decade-long hiatus from Hollywood. From 2015 to 2022, Diaz focused on other projects, including her businesses, raising children, and writing a book. She came back alongside Jamie Foxx in the Netflix original Back in Action, followed by the AppleTV original Outcome with Keanu Reeves in 2026. In 2027, Diaz returns to her most successful role: Princess Fiona in Shrek 5.
Romantic Comedies Have Gone Extinct
Her bread and butter, the romantic comedy, no longer exists on the big screen. It used to be that a great comedy would permeate the culture and be quoted nonstop for months, if not years. Social media has shortened the lifespan of every movie. Movies aren’t quoted as often, they don’t stick around as long with all of their best scenes and moments being spoiled all over our feeds as soon as they hit theaters. Hollywood needs to redesign the romantic comedy and the more action focus of Sex Tape combined with Diaz’s nudity was the last gasp of relevancy for the genre.
Anyone who wants a throwback to Hollywood comedies can check out Sex Tape on Netflix. Maybe someday studios will take another crack at them.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce spared no expense when it came to bringing their wedding vision to life. Newly leaked footage has offered fans their first glimpse inside the couple’s top-secret New York City wedding, revealing the dramatic transformation of Madison Square Garden into what guests described as a fairytale-like garden setting.
The never-before-seen video showcases elaborate décor, towering trees, hidden reception entrances, and personal touches celebrating the couple’s relationship, giving fans a closer look at one of the most talked-about celebrity weddings of the year.
According to the footage obtained by the Daily Mail, the iconic arena underwent a massive makeover for the event. What is typically home to basketball games, concerts, and other major events was transformed into an enchanted garden complete with towering trees, lush greenery, emerald drapery, and soaring archways.
Guests could be seen gathering around the altar before making their way through a hidden set of doors leading to the reception area. The room buzzed with excitement as Candi Staton’s disco anthem “Young Hearts Run Free” played throughout the venue while elegantly dressed guests made their way through the space following the ceremony.
The décor leaned heavily into a garden-party aesthetic, with arrangements of greenery and oversized trees helping create the whimsical atmosphere Swift reportedly envisioned for her wedding day. Emerald-colored drapery hung from the ceiling, while Madison Square Garden’s traditional blue seating was covered with neutral-toned coverings to blend seamlessly with the overall design.
A towering ceiling-height structure featuring gray embellishments and archways stood at the center of the venue, resembling either a chapel or the castle-like structure that had sparked speculation in the days leading up to the wedding.
Guests Entered The Reception Through Hidden ‘Magic Doors’
One of the most unique elements of the wedding appears to have been the transition from ceremony to reception. According to one guest who spoke to the Daily Mail, attendees “headed into the festivities room behind the altar’s magic doors” following the ceremony. The reception space reportedly continued the fairytale-inspired theme.
The same guest described the venue as having a “whimsical Tinker Bell fairytale” aesthetic, with elaborate floral displays and greenery helping create the magical atmosphere.
Additional footage also revealed a romantically lit hallway featuring pink walls, peach-colored drapery, and matching carpeting. The corridor appeared to connect to the glamorous stairway that several guests previously shared on social media following the event.
Personal Photos Of Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Lined The Hallways
Beyond the grand decorations, the wedding also featured several deeply personal touches. The leaked footage revealed walls lined with photographs documenting Swift and Kelce’s relationship.
The display reportedly included images throughout their romance, including the couple’s August 2025 backyard proposal. The photographs were displayed in oversized gold frames throughout the venue, creating a visual timeline of their relationship for guests to enjoy.
A large “T and T” logo was also prominently displayed as part of the wedding décor, further tying together the event’s custom design elements.
Outside the venue, Madison Square Garden was illuminated in pink lighting for the celebration, while giant screens displayed “JUST&T MARRIED!” for arriving guests.
The Wedding’s Massive Price Tag Continues To Draw Attention
The extravagant celebration came with an equally eye-catching price tag. Industry experts estimated that Swift and Kelce spent more than $15 million transforming Madison Square Garden into the wedding venue of their dreams.
Meanwhile, a source told The New York Times that expenses tied to lighting, sound, catering, flowers, decorations, and labor alone may have totaled between $10 million and $12 million.
Security was also a significant undertaking. In the days leading up to the wedding, numerous NYPD officers and security personnel were stationed around Madison Square Garden, with reports suggesting the security operation cost taxpayers roughly $1 million.
Wedding Guests Continue To Reveal New Details About The Celebration
Several high-profile guests have also shared their reactions to the venue’s dramatic transformation. AMC CEO Adam Aron was among those who attended the wedding and later praised the elaborate setup in a since-deleted social media post.
“Immediately upon entry, everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown-up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one-year-old to late teenager-hood were on display,” he wrote.
He also noted that the venue was “devoid of any notion that a basketball or hockey game [had] ever shared the space.”
Meanwhile, “Good Morning America” host George Stephanopoulos also reflected on the wedding’s décor during an appearance following the event. “It was really this garden inside The Garden,” Stephanopoulos said on Saturday. “It was just so beautiful.”
With new footage continuing to emerge, fans are finally getting a closer look at the elaborate celebration that transformed one of New York City’s most famous venues into a fairytale setting fit for one of pop culture’s most famous couples.
Lena Dunham brought plenty of color to her best friend Taylor Swift’s highly celebrated wedding to Travis Kelce.
Dunham, 40, opted for two custom looks when attending Swift’s wedding weekend to the Kansas City Chiefs tight end, starting with a cropped lime green blazer from Amber Doyle featuring a row of bows dotting the zipper and a matching skirt.
The Famesick author accessorized her show-stopping ensemble with matching pointy-toed heels and a ballet pink handbag.
Dunham later changed into a bespoke Christian Cowan creation featuring a black maxi skirt tucked into a plunging, long-sleeved magenta blouse with billowing sleeves. She also pinned an oversized periwinkle fabric flower onto her lapel.
Lena Dunham is giving football fans and Swifties alike a glimpse inside the exclusive suite where she watched the Kansas City Chiefs play alongside Taylor Swift. Taking to Instagram on Monday, December 8, the Girls alum, 39, uploaded a carousel of photos from Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, during the Chiefs’ Sunday Night Football […]
Dunham toasted Swift, 36, on her marriage to Kelce, also 36, beginning Thursday, July 2, during an intimate rehearsal dinner before a large-scale wedding ceremony held the next day on Friday, July 3, at New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden arena.
Swift and Kelce, for their parts, each wore bespoke Christian Dior outfits when they said “I do.”
“The bride and groom’s wedding ceremony looks have been created by Christian Dior Haute Couture. They are designed by Jonathan Anderson, Creative Director of Dior Women’s, Men’s and Haute Couture Collections, in close collaboration with the Bride and Groom,” a press release shared with Us Weekly read. “This is the designer’s first couture wedding dress for a world-renowned celebrity. Their shoes were custom made by Christian Louboutin and the bride wore Cartier jewelry.”
Travis Kelce brought his signature flair to his wedding day ensemble. Kelce, 36, tied the knot with fiancée Taylor Swift in a “whimsical” ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Friday, July 3, where he surely looked dapper in a classic tuxedo designed by Christian Dior. Swift, also 36, wore a bespoke gown […]
The newlyweds exchanged vows in front of a star-studded crowd of nearly 1,000 famous faces. In addition to Dunham, stars including the Girls creator’s ex Jack Antonoff, Bradley Cooper, Jessica Alba, Baker Mayfield, Selena Gomez and Chiefs head coach Andy Reid came out to toast the happy couple.
“They cried and they laughed and they danced and they hugged and they kissed,” Swift’s aunt, Robin, told LBC News from her car after leaving the venue, revealing that there was “lots” of food.
On July 3, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce tied the knot at New York City’s Madison Square Garden in front of at least 1,000 guests, including family and famous friends. Although phones were not allowed inside the star-studded event, small details have begun to leak as celebrities opened up about the fairytale wedding. One hot topic of conversation among many fans was what food the couple served at the reception.
While some fans wanted to know who performed at Swift and Kelce’s wedding, others were wondering what they ate! One source told PEOPLE magazine that Taylor’s mother invited guests into the reception room after the ceremony, where a stage was set up so artists like Paul McCartney and Stevie Nicks could perform.
The insider revealed that there were food stations loaded with Italian cuisine, sushi, and trays being passed around. They also revealed that “there were bars everywhere,” says the source, and, despite the venue’s size, noted, “It was very crowded!”
Bradley Cooper May Have Helped Cater The Wedding
Actor Bradley Cooper attended the wedding with his girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, who is a longtime friend of Swift. A truck from Cooper’s restaurant, Danny and Coop’s, arrived at Madison Square Garden just before 10 PM, according to Us Weekly.
Cooper, along with famed restaurateur Danny DiGiampietro, founded Danny and Coop’s, which specializes in Philly cheesesteaks, as a pop-up food truck in 2023. They opened a brick-and-mortar restaurant in New York two years later.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Might Have Dined On Lobster Meat & Fries
The publication also noted that a delivery truck for Mama’s TOO! Pizzeria was seen near the venue. Page Six reported that a truck from Sartiano’s, one of Swift’s favorite NYC restaurants, was seen outside the venue on July 1, the day before the rehearsal dinner.
They also obtained photos of delivery boxes containing lobster meat, fries, onion rings, and various kinds of chicken. Since none of the guests were allowed to bring their cell phones into the venue, no photos of the dishes have appeared online. There are also no photos of Swift’s wedding cake, although Swift might share these herself at a later date.
Travis Kelce’s Family Is A Big Fan Of Cooper’s Food Truck
The history of the Kelce family and Cooper’s food truck goes way back. The actor was spotted serving cheesesteaks at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, as previously reported by Entertainment Weekly. Unfortunately, the Kansas City Chiefs ultimately lost to the Philadelphia Eagles, whom Cooper supported.
In 2024, PEOPLE magazine reported that Cooper served a cheesesteak to Kelce’s mom, Donna, at an event in Las Vegas. At the time, Donna revealed that Kelce and Swift had joined Cooper and Hadid on vacation in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California, shortly before the event.
Cooper and Hadid were also seen with Kelce in a private suite during Swift’s Eras Tour stop in Paris that same year.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce Donated $26 Million Ahead of Their Wedding
Many charities received a surprise donation from the couple ahead of their wedding. A rep for the singer told PEOPLE magazine that the couple had made $26 million in donations to various charitable organizations that supported animal welfare, education, food insecurity, and more.
The Rhode Island Community Food Bank was one of the charities that received a substantial donation. They thanked the couple in a lengthy Instagram caption, writing, “In honor of their upcoming nuptials, @taylorswift and @killatrav made an extraordinary donation of $1 million to the Rhode Island Community Food Bank!”
“We were THRILLED to learn of this unexpected gift, which comes at a time when the need for food assistance in our state is at an all-time high,” they continued. “Every dollar of this generous donation will be put to work to source food for distribution across our statewide network of 137 member agencies.”
They also received a special thank-you video from country legend Dolly Parton after donating $2 million to her Imagination Library.
With the largely male audience for action movies featuring brutal anti-heroes having moved seamlessly from theaters to streaming, there could be no better time for Denzel Washington to return to his most successful franchise. Washington previously confirmed that he was doing exactly that when he announced not one but two new sequels to his hit trilogy of action movies. However, recent developments might throw a wrench in those plans. Washington’s franchise was helmed by Antoine Fuqua, who recently delivered the biggest hit of his career with Michael, the Michael Jackson biopic that’s on track to hit the $1 billion mark at the global box office. A few weeks ago, Lionsgate confirmed that a long-rumored sequel was being fast-tracked. One would assume that the studio wants Fuqua to return, which may keep him busy for the next couple of years.
Meanwhile, Washington isn’t getting any younger. He’s now 71, and if he begins shooting the next couple of installments once Fuqua is done with the Michael sequel, he’ll be closer to 75. The action franchise could continue with a new filmmaker, but this hasn’t been confirmed. We’re talking, of course, about Washington’s The Equalizer series, which began in 2014 and delivered its third installment in 2023. The franchise was green-lit not long after the success of Taken, which turned Liam Neeson into an action star. Taken‘s success inspired several other older male actors to try their hand in the genre.
Here’s When You Can Watch ‘The Equalizer’ Trilogy
Washington remains arguably the most successful. The three Equalizer movies have grossed nearly identical amounts at the box office, for a combined global haul of more than $570 million. The latest installment, The Equalizer 3, made $191 million worldwide against a reported budget of $70 million. The first movie grossed $192 million worldwide against a reported budget of $55 million. It holds a 61% score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the consensus reads, “The Equalizer is more stylishly violent than meaningful, but with Antoine Fuqua behind the cameras and Denzel Washington dispensing justice, it delivers.” All three movies in The Equalizer series are now streaming on HBO Max. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

There’s a lot to love about Star Trek, particularly its concept of how humanity sets aside its petty differences to explore the stars. 60 years later, it’s a concept that’s led to some of the best stories in science fiction, especially when it comes to the various alien races that Starfleet encounters. Whether it’s the warlike Klingons, the logic-seeking Vulcans, or the alluring Orions, the Star Trek universe has plenty of distinct cultures throughout it. Now, a new comics collection is set to dive deep into these cultures, giving more depth to the “final frontier” in the process.
IDW Publishing is slated to release its Star Trek: Aliens–IDW Classic Collections paperback next week. A pocket-sized collection of comics, the Star Trek: Aliens paperback features stories from the Star Trek: Alien Spotlight miniseries and the Star Trek: Aliens one-shots that were released in 2022. As their names suggest, both series focus on the various aliens within and beyond the Federation of United Planets, highlighting the true scope of the Star Trek universe. Whether you’re a longtime Trekkie or new to the franchise, these comics are worth checking out.
The ‘Star Trek: Aliens’ Comics Highlight What Makes Each of Star Trek’s Alien Races So Unique
The beauty of Star Trek: Alien Spotlight and Star Trek: Aliens lies in their deep exploration of the customs of various alien cultures. Why are Klingons so driven to seek honor in combat? What pushes Vulcans to seek logic above all else? Do Tribbles actually have thoughts? The answers to these questions might surprise fans, but they also make these species feel fleshed out in ways that the different Star Trek series only briefly touch upon. Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry never shied away from speaking about how he created the series to serve as a message that humanity should strive to accept each other, no matter their differences:
“Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms. If we cannot learn to actually enjoy those small differences, to take a positive delight in those small differences between our own kind, here on this planet, then we do not deserve to go out into space and meet the diversity that is almost certainly out there.”
Star Trek: Alien Spotlight and Star Trek: Aliens honor Roddenberry’s words by exploring different aliens and continuing the franchise’s trend of aliens who seek their own paths. Spock (Leonard Nimoy) often had to deal with being torn between his Vulcan and human heritages. Worf (Michael Dorn) was one of the first Klingons to join Starfleet, and proved that he could honor his culture while also bringing peace to the stars. Jadzia Dax (Terry Farrell) slowly found her identity, both as a Starfleet officer and as part of a symbiotic bond with a Trill. These characters are a prime example of Star Trek choosing to explore what makes us different rather than running away from it, and it’s only fitting that the comics explore a similar path.
IDW Publishing Has Been Delivering Unique Star Trek Stories
While it might be a surprise to learn that some of the best Star Trek stories are in comic form, rather than being televised, it’s a trend that IDW Publishing isn’t stopping anytime soon. IDW’s covered nearly every era of Trek, with a Star Trek: Lower Decks series that picks up immediately where the fan-favorite series left off, and a Star Trek ongoing featuring a crew of fan-favorite characters led by Star Trek: Deep Space Nine‘s Benjamin Sisko on a quest to stop godlike beings from being murdered. Writers Colin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing continue to pen Trek stories with Star Trek: The Last Spaceship, which sheds light on the mysterious “Burn” introduced in Star Trek: Discovery and features a resurrected James T. Kirk.
While the recent era of Star Trek shows might be coming to an end, there are still great Trek stories worth checking out, and the Star Trek: Aliens collection is proof of that. If Paramount is looking for new paths to take the Star Trek franchise, it should look at these comics.
Star Trek: Aliens – IDW Classic Collection will be available to purchase on July 7, 2026.

Taylor Swift reportedly put extensive measures in place to protect her fortune before marrying Travis Kelce, with sources revealing the couple agreed to an “ironclad” prenup ahead of their wedding.
Insiders say the agreement was designed to safeguard the singer’s vast business empire and was developed with input from her legal team and family.
The reports have also sparked fresh discussion about the influential role Taylor Swift’s father, Scott Swift, has played in helping manage and protect her career over the years.
Taylor Swift reportedly took significant steps to safeguard her vast fortune before marrying Travis Kelce, with sources claiming the couple agreed to a comprehensive prenuptial arrangement ahead of their July 3 wedding.
The agreement is said to have been carefully structured to protect the singer’s extensive business interests, including her music catalog, intellectual property, and various companies built throughout her career.
With Taylor’s estimated fortune reportedly nearing $2 billion and Kelce’s wealth largely derived from his NFL career, endorsements, and media ventures, insiders say the arrangement was viewed as a practical financial decision.
According to OK! Magazine, insiders revealed that the arrangement was developed with the guidance of Taylor’s legal advisors and family members, particularly her father, Scott Swift, who has long played a key role in overseeing aspects of her business affairs.
One source described Scott as “what you hope a father will be,” claiming “he has dedicated his whole adult life to shielding Taylor, while still stepping back enough for her to grow into herself.”
Sources Claim Scott Swift Is ‘Utterly Uncompromising’ When It Comes To His Daughter’s Brand
Another source suggested Scott has carefully balanced being both a protector and an advisor throughout Swift’s career.
“He has always stood between Taylor and the worst of the industry, yet he’s been careful not to smother her or dictate who she should be,” the insider said. “His instinct is to protect, but he also understands that Taylor had to build her own identity and career on her own terms.”
Several sources also emphasized Scott’s reputation as a savvy businessman, noting that while he is known for being warm and approachable, he becomes intensely focused when decisions involving his daughter’s career or financial interests are involved.
“People sometimes underestimate him because he is so warm on the surface,” one source explained. “But underneath that, he is utterly uncompromising about his daughter’s career and her business.”
Travis Kelce Reportedly Had No Problem With Taylor Swift’s Prenup And ‘Snapped Up’ The Deal Without Hesitation
Despite the reported scale of the agreement, sources close to Kelce insist the NFL star had no issue with it, viewing the prenup as a sensible safeguard rather than a test of his “loyalty.”
“Travis has a very clear sense of what Taylor has created and how many years went into it,” a source said. “He views the prenup as basic common sense on her part, not some kind of loyalty test, and snapped up the deal when it was put in front of him and his lawyers.”
According to one insider, Kelce has long respected Scott’s role in helping build and protect Taylor’s brand and understood why such measures were important.
“Right from day one, he made a point of acknowledging Scott’s involvement and judgment,” the insider claimed. “He told people, ‘Scott has spent years safeguarding one of the most powerful brands in entertainment — why would I try to get in the way of that?’”
Expert Reveals The Prenup Will Reflect The Singer’s Desire To Protect Her Brand And Art
Financial experts have also weighed in on the reported agreement, noting that it aligns with Taylor’s long-standing focus on ownership, branding and control over her creative work.
Jesica Ray, a senior lead advisor at financial consultancy Brighton Jones, told USA Today that Swift’s business decisions throughout her career suggest she would approach marriage with the same level of careful planning.
“If you just even think about Taylor Swift and her relationship with Spotify and releasing her own versions of things, branding is important to her,” Ray explained.
She continued, “Making sure she retains that identity and individual recognition will likely carry into the way she approaches things within her marriage as well.”
Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Say ‘I Do’ In Grand Madison Square Garden Ceremony
The reports surfaced shortly after Taylor and Kelce officially tied the knot during a lavish ceremony at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
According to a statement from the singer’s representative, the couple, both 36, exchanged vows surrounded by family and close friends in a celebration that brought together two of the entertainment and sports worlds’ most recognizable families.
For the occasion, the newlyweds wore custom Christian Dior Haute Couture creations designed by Jonathan Anderson, who worked closely with the couple on their wedding-day looks.
The bridal gown marked Anderson’s first couture wedding dress designed for a celebrity of Taylor’s stature. Both Taylor and Kelce completed their ensembles with bespoke Christian Louboutin footwear, while the bride accessorized with jewelry from Cartier.
Rather than opting for a traditional bridal party, the couple gave special roles to their siblings. Taylor’s brother, Austin Swift, served as her Man of Honor, while Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, stood beside him as Best Man. The ceremony was officiated by longtime friend Adam Sandler.
Following the exchange of vows, giant screens outside Madison Square Garden lit up with a celebratory message for fans gathered nearby, announcing the newlyweds’ union with the words: “JUST&T MARRIED!”
