5:26 PM PT — Taylor was just officially introduced to start the broadcast, and it looks like her box is completely packed — as she hugs and kisses friends, and hob-nobs with celebs.
No sign of Donna just yet, but she’s almost certainly in the mix as well.

And yes, NBC is fully leaning in to Taylor-mania — they just did this whole Carson Daly intro recapping the viral frenzy … and they made a lot of Swift-y song references along the way. Last but not least … Aaron Rodgers is also in the house — this just a few weeks after tearing his Achilles and undergoing surgery. The dude is here to root on his underdog team.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce‘s romance is going strong — so much so that she popped into another football stadium to cheer him on … this time with some famous pals in tow.
The pop star is again the guest of honor Sunday during NBC’s ‘SNF’ broadcast of the Chiefs vs. Jets game — in which her rumored tight end BF is obviously playing. Taylor showed up and slipped in through a back area, but got caught on camera entering the building.
This time around, TayTay had some A-list company … including Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman, among others. She’s expected to be in a luxury suite near the field, and word is … she’ll be joined by Travis’s mom, Donna Kelce — like last week.
As for TS’s entourage — Blake makes sense … they’re best buds, and they were just out and about yesterday together in the Big Apple — not to mention a starry dinner alongside some other famous ladies, like Sophie Turner and even Patrick Mahomes‘ wife, Brittany.
Hugh’s not all that random either — he’s good friends with Blake’s hubby, and they’re in this new obscure movie that’s coming out next year — something called ‘Deadpool 3,’ apparently.
Anyway … Taylor’s appearance is no surprise — we’d been hearing all week that she’d be here, and they were telegraphing as much by being within a stone’s throw of each other earlier this weekend.
We’ll see how much of Taylor gets shown throughout the broadcast. FOX kept it mostly focused on the game last week — but seeing how much of a rating bonanza her mere presence turned out to be … ya gotta figure NBC will cut to her at least a few times today.
If today/tonight turns out to be as eventful as last week’s Kansas City outing … we’re in for a whole lot of news. Travis and Taylor were all anyone talked about — and now that they’re showing PDA in public, it’s safe to assume we might see even more of it in the near future.
Some might’ve thought this was all BS at first, but it’s sure looking more real by the day. There were reports that Travis even swung by Taylor’s NYC apartment before the game — so yeah, he’s been in her quarters now … and all signs point to this being an intimate thing.
With Swifties and NFL’ers all flocking for the show … it’s a classic case of worlds colliding.
Trayvis is officially on … and kickoff is just minutes away!!!
Kanye West‘s longtime friend and confidant says Ye is happier than ever being married to Bianca Censori — so much so, in fact, he might be ready to be a papa all over again!
We got a member of Ye’s inner circle, Justin LaBoy, Tuesday at LAX … where we chopped it up about his buddy and Bianca for a little bit. We were wondering how the couple feels about her family being ticked off lately, but he spilled some other tea.
Remember, her father came out and said he didn’t appreciate his son-in-law parading his daughter around France in barely any clothing … this after several wild outfits she rocked.
You can tell Justin doesn’t wanna go there … saying he doesn’t like to speak on his buddy’s wife — but he does say he loves her, and can tell she’s perfect for his good pal.
The reason? Justin tells us he’s actually never seen Kanye happier than he is right now.
Justin also says Bianca’s enjoying herself too — clearly addressing the speculation from Kanye’s critics that he’s keeping her against her will, or brainwashing her.
Finally, we touch on something Ye himself is alluding to in recent songs — saying “another baby is my end goal” … which most listeners heard as a reference to Bianca.
Justin himself had some thoughts about that when we asked if Kanye was being serious — and according to him … he absolutely is. JLB says he thinks a “bunch of babies” are on the way for them.
Bianca’s only 29, so if she’s inclined to have kids … this could be prime baby-making time. As you know, Ye already has 4 children with Kim Kardashian.
Considering Ye and Bianca are going strong well over a year into their relationship … it might be Yeezy baby season after all!
Bam Margera got into a loud argument with his fiancée that was caught on camera, and while it looked and sounded like they were at each other’s throats … Bam says it actually stemmed out of love.
The former “Jackass” star was arguing with Dannii Marie last Thursday outside of a Nashville hotel — not long after he’d injured himself in a skate stunt that left him with a torn MCL and ACL.
In the video, obtained by TMZ, you can see Bam and Dannii shouting at each other — it’s a heated conversation, for sure, but Bam tells us all is well in their relationship.
He says the argument started after he stepped outside for a smoke break … we’re told Dannii apparently thought he was trying to sneak away to use hard drugs, as he has in the past.
Fact is, a lot of online trolls have speculated Bam might relapse after his injury if he were prescribed pain meds. We’re told Dannii found Bam outside in the alley, and confronted him about that very possibility thinking the worst, but he insists the only thing he lit up was a cig.
Long story short … Bam says Dannii was simply expressing concern for him, and he absolutely appreciates his woman looking out for his best interests. He credits her with keeping him on the straight and narrow with his sobriety.
Bam says he took a urine test that day to reassure Dannii he was clean, and he tells us he remains substance-free even to this day — marking 6 months of sobriety.
Now, Bam’s on the mend with Dannii by his side, and even if they argue about his addiction issues … he says they’re absolutely going strong as a couple.
Murray The Magician is walking the plank — the magic world’s version, anyway, as the famed Magic Castle suspends him for breaking a longstanding rule about revealing how to do tricks, but he says that rule’s gotta change.
Here’s the deal … Murray filmed a fun video he shared online, doing a bunch of different magic tricks for the camera only to have his sexy sidekick — his wife, Dani — burst his bubble and reveal the secret behind each trick.
Murray’s video racked up more than 50 million views on Facebook, and now Hollywood’s most famous and exclusive magic club, The Magic Castle, has suspended him.
The Academy of Magical Arts, the group that runs The Magic Castle, told Murray he’s suspended pending an investigation into complaints he violated their rules by exposing magic online.
In the letter, obtained by TMZ, the AMA tells Murray he’s no longer allowed to even enter the Magic Castle, where he’s been a member for decades and frequently performs.
Murray tells TMZ … the magic community needs to update these outdated rules because it’s 2024, and folks can go on the internet and learn magic tricks on their own.

Basically, Murray’s calling out the AMA for guarding an empty safe by punishing magicians who pull back the curtain. As he says, it’s not like he was sharing details behind David CopperfieldorCriss Angel‘s famous tricks, because everything in his viral video is available on Amazon for anyone to purchase and use.
Murray says the real issue here is his fame … he says the video wouldn’t be a problem if he was a birthday magician in Barstow, but because his video is racking up a bunch of views, suddenly the AMA has beef.
Bottom line for Murray … there’s no harm in exposing basic magic tricks because the art form is all about entertainment, and he feels that’s what he’s accomplishing here.
