London Mayor Sadiq Khan says, 'We have a huge amount of experience in policing these events, we're never complacent. Many lessons were learned after the awful Manchester Arena attack. The police work closely, not just with City Hall, but with councils, but also with those who host concerts, like the one coming up over the next couple of weeks. I'm sure Vienna has its own reasons to cancel the Taylor Swift concerts, we're going to carry on, working closely with police and ensuring the concerts can take place safely.'


Life & Style Weekly says Travis Kelce has been making his house cozy for Taylor Swift. An insider says, "He has done what he can to make his house feel like home.

She can’t wait to root Travis on at Kansas City Chiefs home games and really focus on him without having one foot out the door."

In Touch Weekly says Ben Affleck's divorce has allegedly left him miserable. A source says, “With his latest marriage in shambles and the weight of the world on his shoulders thanks to his responsibilities at his new studio, Artists Equity, Ben has a lot on his plate and clearly doesn’t have the time and energy he needs to devote to his closest and longest held friendships. Unfortunately, that makes him miserable to be around and you have to remember that Matt is just as close to Ben’s brother, Casey [Affleck], as he is to Ben. Right now you have this dynamic where it’s Matt and Casey trying to get Ben out of his funk, and Ben, who is older than both of them, resisting every step of the way.” 


Heat Magazine says Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck finalized their divorce a month ago.  An insider says,  “They finalized their divorce papers a month ago.

The Business Times says Ben Affleck has allegedly vowed to abstain from sex and marriage following his divorce from Jennifer Lopez. A source, “Ben was put through the ringer by Jennifer and he’s trying to just find himself again. They had very little sex toward the end, and Ben’s not looking for any dolly bird hookups now. In fact, he seems to have lost his mojo. People blame Jennifer, saying she emasculated him and did a real number on his confidence. He still looks miserable while she’s charging around reinventing herself. It’s surprising to friends, but Ben has no desire to sow any wild oats. He’s focusing on his kids and career and staying away from any activities that couple land him another relationship.’’


Life & Style Weekly says Gwen Stefani is bonding with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale over their son's success. A source tells the magazine, "Blake is worried about Gwen and Gavin getting too close.  Gavin always said he’s never gotten over Gwen. Now, their blooming boy Kingston seems to be doing really well and they’re leading the charge to get his career going. They’re very proud, it’s beginning to bring them closer again after all these years of awkwardness. At one point, Gwen saw Gavin as the love of her life, so anytime they hang out for extended periods and laugh and get along better, it makes Blake worry. He’s just trying to bite his lip, saying publicly he’s glad it’s better, but it’s no secret Blake and Gavin hate each other. Right when Blake and Gwen are back on track and everything’s going well again, Gavin is breaking in.”


The Wall Street Journal says Ellen DeGeneres recently sold her Carpinteria, California home for $96 million. The luxurious property includes a main house, a guest house, and nearly six acres of land with breathtaking ocean views. Ellen bought the house in 2022 for $70 million 


Elle King tells Page Six that her dad, actor and comedian Rob Schneider, sent her to "fat camp" as a kid. "I was, like, a really, really heavy child. My dad sent me to fat camp. And then I got in trouble one year because I sprained my ankle and I didn’t lose any weight. Very toxic and very silly. I disagree with a lot of the things that he says. He’s just talking out of his *** and I want to use this opportunity to say that I disagree. I do not agree with what he says.”

Dear Fonseca,

My ex-wife and I divorced last year. We share joint custody of our 10-year-old daughter. I pay full child support on a monthly basis. My ex-wife is required to talk to me about any expenses that are ‘above and beyond’ normal support. Over the weekend, my ex sent me a bill for $229. She told me she got our 10-year-old a makeover for the new school year. The bill was for a manicure, a pedicure, a haircut and a photo session at the salon. My 10-year-old didn't seem overly enthused about getting the makeover next weekend. The bill certainly is ‘above and beyond’ normal support. I think the makeover is more for my ex-wife than it is for my daughter. I'm not sure what to do? Should I buy the makeover? Do 10 year-olds need makeovers? I definitely don't want to disappoint my daughter. Should I just eat it and do it? My family says if my ex wants the makeover so bad she should pay for it.
