Joe Jonas is hitting back at Sophie Turner’s bombshell lawsuit. The Jonas Brothers superstar issued a statement via his rep regarding allegations that he is keeping his two daughters from their mother, Sophie. The rep called the lawsuit a “harsh legal position” that goes against the “amicable co-parenting setup” he believed they were working toward as recently as last Sunday when they met to discuss custody.
“Less than 24 hours later, Sophie advised that she wanted to take the children permanently to the UK. Thereafter, she demanded via this filing that Joe hand over the children’s passports so that she could take them out of the country immediately,” the rep said to Page Six. His rep also said the kids have been with Sophie in New York.
“Joe is seeking shared parenting with the kids so that they are raised by both their mother and father, and is of course also okay with the kids being raised both in the U.S. and the UK,” his rep says, adding that the children were born in the US and are American citizens.
Joe also hit back at the claim that Sophie found out about the divorce “through the media,” stating that she was “aware” he was going to file for dissolution following “multiple conversations.”
“This is an unfortunate legal disagreement about a marriage that is sadly ending. When language like ‘abduction’ is used, it is misleading at best, and a serious abuse of the legal system at worst. The children were not abducted,” the statement continues. (PageSix.com)
Travis Kelce just confirmed he has at least made contact with Taylor Swift amid rumors the two have been hanging out recently, revealing he invited the pop superstar to an upcoming Chiefs game. Pat McAfee got the tight end to open up about rumors he’s been quietly seeing Swift the last few weeks on Thursday’s episode of the “The Pat McAfee Show,” and while Kelce didn’t exactly address any details head on, he did admit he’s been talking to the singer. Kelce said his brother, Jason, has been one of the main reasons the gossip has exploded recently, and he playfully scolded the Eagles star for it. “Please, everybody stop asking my brother about my love life.” (TMZ)
Taylor Swift’s social media post asking Swifties to register to vote was a huge success. Tay made her plea earlier this week, writing “I’ve heard you raise your voices, and I know how powerful they are. Make sure you’re ready to use them in our elections this year!”
Vote.org says they had a record response over the past few days. Exec Nick Morrow pointed out the very Taylor-like results, noting “Our site was averaging 13,000 users every 30 minutes. 13! Let’s just say her reputation for being a mastermind is very well-earned.”

Taylor Swifts “Eras Tour” documentary, “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour,” is looking like it might put up some massive numbers in its debut weekend. The movie is projected to open with anywhere between $100 to $125 million dollars! Some analysts think that the movie will open lower at $85 million, but many feel that “this movie is a unicorn” and will perform closer to the $100 million range. Just last week presales for the movie had already hit $65 million. With the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes leading to studios pushing out movies into 2024, theaters are reportedly pretty happy that Swift’s film is coming out, acting as a different type of blockbuster. “Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour” hits theaters on October 13th.

Ed Sheeran has given fans another sneak peak of a track off his new album, “Autumn Variations”… but this time, he did it with the help of one of America’s sweethearts. A video he posted to social media yesterday shows the singer going over to his pal Courtney Cox and playing a snippet of his new song “American Town” that he says was inspired by her mega-hit series “Friends.”
“Courtney, Courtney, Courtney. I wrote this song inspired by “Friends”, the show that you were on,” Sheeran remarked in the video before playing a chunk of the song on his acoustic guitar. The lyrics that hinted at the sitcom from two decades ago went, “We ate Chinese food in small white boxes/ Live the life we saw in “Friends/ Your room it barely fits the mattress/ Wake up, leave for work again/ The wind it seems to blow right through us / Down jackets are the trend.”
When the serenade finished, the two chatted briefly about song’s connection to the TV show before Cox quipped, “do I get paid?” Sheeran’s latest offering will drop September 29th. And as we previously reported, he even recorded a secret live series of songs played in fans’ living rooms that will come out at a later date. Source: Billboard
