Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance sounds like a Hollywood movie — and now, it’s inspired one. Lifetime’s new schedule of Christmas movies includes a tale that sounds a whole lot like the couple’s real-life relationship. The network says that Christmas in the Spotlight focuses on “a popular musician and celebrity, who despite always singing about love and relationships, hasn’t found Mr. Right yet.”
In case you missed the similarities, Lifetime adds that pop star Bowyn meets pro footballer Drew, who admits he has a crush on Bowyn and their “feelings grow stronger … but can it last in the limelight, especially when they both have such hectic schedules?”
We’re not sure how Taylor and Travis feel about the flick’s conclusion, in which “The pair has until the end of the holiday season to decide if they want to stay together, or let it go down in flames.” (Daily News)

Rihanna’s a trending topic again and it’s all because of something she did — or didn’t do — at New York Fashion Week. It all went down over the weekend in New York City, where Rihanna was in attendance at a star-studded fashion show. And that’s where the problem comes in. Despite having runway royalty Naomi Campbell in her presence, RiRi is being criticized for reportedly having blinders on when it came to the certified fashion icon. The pair are rumored to have had beef going back years now, and while we didn’t see strong evidence of bad blood at Fashion Week, it’s not like the two superstars were showing each other love. In video footage, Rihanna can be seen walking past Naomi Campbell and Law Roach to take her seat without as much as an acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, a source close to Naomi Campbell tried disputed this narrative, saying that there’s no feud between the two famous fashionistas, and noting that Naomi appears to shoot a smile Rihanna’s way and even helped her avoid a wardrobe malfunction when her gown got snagged.

Eminem is opening the 2024 MTV VMAs, live Wednesday at 8pm from the UBS Arena in New York. He will be giving fans the first TV show performance from his recently released 12th studio album.

Selena Gomez, who’s had multiple health issues over the years, has just revealed yet another one — the inability to bear children. She broke the news in Vanity Fair, saying “I unfortunately … have a lot of medical issues that would put my life and the baby’s in jeopardy, That was something I had to grieve for a while.”
Selena went on to explain her reactions, adding “It’s not necessarily the way I envisioned it. thought it would happen the way it happens for everyone. I’m in a much better place with that. I find it a blessing that there are wonderful people willing to do surrogacy or adoption, which are both huge possibilities for me.”
The star was diagnosed with Lupus in 2013 and got a kidney transplant four years later.

In a move that shocked the Beyhive, Beyonce’s country album, Cowboy Carter, was completely snubbed when nominations for the CMA Awards were announced. Even though the album topped Billboard’s country chart for four weeks and the single “Texas Hold ‘Em” went to number-one as well, the icon didn’t receive a single nod.
Morgan Wallen cleaned up with seven nominations, while Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson followed with five each. Naturally, fans on socials weren’t happy. Here’s what people are saying:
“If I were Beyonce I’d be petty and announce the COWBOY CARTER WORLD TOUR during the CMA’s.”
“Okay objectively insane Bey didn’t get a single CMA nomination.”
“Bey dgaf about the cma’s anyway but not even a nod for Texas Hold ‘Em is crazy.”
“Beyoncé still dominating the conversation around the CMAs despite them trying to exclude her.”
“Post Malone needs to perform a duet and bring her back on stage to spite them.”

The Weeknd has confirmed that he’ll be releasing the first single, “Dancing in the Flames,” from his upcoming album, “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” this Friday! That new single has actually be heard by his fans before. That’s because the artist gave fans a first look at the song during his Sao Paulo concert livestream last weekend. “Dancing in the Flames” will also be accompanied by a music video that was shot entirely on the just-announced iPhone 16 Pro. The release date for “Hurry Up Tomorrow,” meanwhile, is still not known. (Variety)

Mariah Carey is back to work and trying to get over the recent deaths of her mother and estranged sister. Both women died on the same day last month, and Mariah said she was “heartbroken,” adding “I feel blessed that I was able to spend the last week with my mom before she passed.” She reportedly didn’t extend an olive branch to sister Alison. Friends say the troubled sibling reached out to Mariah to get in contact, but was turned down. Mariah hit Instagram to post a video of herself and a pianist playing her hit “It’s Like That” in rehearsal mode, with the caption “Back at work. It’s been a couple of rough weeks, but I appreciate everyone’s love and support so much and I can’t wait to see my fans in China & Brazil. Love you!”

It was also number one last week for its debut.

*NSYNC’s JC Chasez is getting ready to release his first album in two decades. It’s a musical theater concept album inspired by Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein. Chasez was part of a Universal Studios Florida live show called Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue — playing Dracula, not Frankenstein’s monster.
