00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:15.800
Calarogu, Shark Media, Hi,
and Welcome through Entertainment, plus a short

2
00:00:15.839 --> 00:00:21.960
round up of the top entertainment stories
in today's news. Travis Kelsey, tight

3
00:00:22.039 --> 00:00:25.760
end for the Kansas City Chiefs,
has come to the defense of his teammate

4
00:00:25.839 --> 00:00:31.679
Harrison Budker after Bucker's controversial speech at
Benedictine College. In his address to the

5
00:00:31.679 --> 00:00:35.600
graduates, Bucker stated that one of
the most important roles for the female graduates

6
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:41.280
would be that of a homemaker.
This sentiment sparked widespread outrage, but Kelsey,

7
00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.520
speaking on his New Heights podcast while
in Europe accompanying his girlfriend Taylor Swift

8
00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:50.119
on her Airs tour, stood by
his teammate despite disagreeing with nearly all of

9
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:54.640
Bucker's remarks. I have known him
for eleven plus years. I cherish him

10
00:00:54.679 --> 00:00:58.159
as a teammate. He's treated family
and family that have introduced to him with

11
00:00:58.159 --> 00:01:02.320
nothing but respect and kindness, and
that's how he treats everyone, Kelsey said.

12
00:01:02.560 --> 00:01:04.959
When it comes down to his views
and what he said at Saint Benedictine's

13
00:01:06.000 --> 00:01:08.959
commencement speech, those are his.
I can't say I agree with the majority

14
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:12.000
of it or just about any of
it outside of just him loving his family

15
00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:15.879
and his kids. And I don't
think that I should judge him by his

16
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:19.680
views, especially his religious views of
how to go about his life. That's

17
00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:23.519
just not who I am. Kelsey
went on to reflect on his own upbringing

18
00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:26.920
in Cleveland Heights, where he was
exposed to a diverse range of people and

19
00:01:27.280 --> 00:01:32.840
learned to appreciate them for their differences
without passing judgment. He also shared that

20
00:01:32.879 --> 00:01:37.519
both his parents were homemakers and providers, creating a loving home environment that shaped

21
00:01:37.599 --> 00:01:41.760
him into the person he is today. Jason Kelsey, Travis's brother, also

22
00:01:41.840 --> 00:01:46.599
spoke out against the intense backlash Budker
has faced, which has included a petition

23
00:01:46.640 --> 00:01:51.599
with over two hundred and twenty five
thousand signatures demanding his removal from the Chiefs.

24
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:57.079
Meanwhile, singer songwriter Charlie Puth has
shared his reaction to being name dropped

25
00:01:57.079 --> 00:02:00.920
by Taylor in her song The Tortured
Poet's Department from her recently released album.

26
00:02:01.079 --> 00:02:05.079
When Puth first heard about the lyric
leak from a friend, he thought it

27
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.120
was a joke. My brain immediately
went to, oh, like in an

28
00:02:07.199 --> 00:02:10.879
interview with something that's cool. I
love Taylor Swift. He recalled I'm going

29
00:02:10.879 --> 00:02:14.120
to wake up tomorrow, and it
was just a big joke that someone was

30
00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.240
playing on me because someone thinks I
should be a bigger artist. So get

31
00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.680
the biggest artist since the Beatles to
say that I should be a bigger artist.

32
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:24.400
Ha ha ha. However, upon
hearing the official release, Puth was

33
00:02:24.520 --> 00:02:28.680
stunned. My first thought was like, wow, she said my name.

34
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:31.479
She kind of said it like oth
and I just cried, dude. It

35
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:37.039
was just surreal. Puth revealed that
he had no prior knowledge of the lyric

36
00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:39.439
and was in complete denial until he
heard it for himself. He also shared

37
00:02:39.439 --> 00:02:43.479
that he wrote it swift a note
expressing his gratitude for giving him the courage

38
00:02:43.479 --> 00:02:46.000
to release his new song Hero,
even though he has yet to speak with

39
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:50.240
her directly. Puth believes he should
be a bigger artist, as the lyric

40
00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:53.439
suggests, but to him, that
means inspiring more people to pursue music and

41
00:02:53.439 --> 00:03:00.680
become artists themselves. In television news, the highly anticipated third season of FX

42
00:03:00.719 --> 00:03:04.240
As the Bear has released a new
trailer, showcasing the high stakes drama and

43
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:09.439
culinary challenges the characters will face.
The series follows Kami Pizzato, Jeremy Allen

44
00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:16.680
White and Sydney adamu a at Aberi
and Richie Jarimovich Ebon Moss Bukrach as they

45
00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:22.919
work to elevate their beefstand turn Fine
Dating restaurant to new heights. The trailer

46
00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:25.080
shows Richie managing the front of the
house, Sydney calling out orders, and

47
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:30.800
Kami striving for perfection in the kitchen. The trio's quest for culinary excellence will

48
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:34.319
test their bonds and push them to
their limits as they navigate the stressful world

49
00:03:34.319 --> 00:03:38.639
of the restaurant industry. This is
a dysfunctional kitchen, Sydney remarks, to

50
00:03:38.680 --> 00:03:43.199
which Richie and Kami respond in unison, show me a functional one. The

51
00:03:43.240 --> 00:03:46.639
official synopsis hints at the challenges the
crew will face as they work to keep

52
00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.840
their business afloat while pursuing their dreams. In celebrity relationships, sources have reported

53
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:57.599
the Pop icon Madonna and her boyfriend, boxing coach Josh Popper have split after

54
00:03:57.599 --> 00:04:00.319
a year of dating. The couple, who have a thirty five years age

55
00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:03.919
difference, reportedly struggled to find time
for each other due to Madonna's demanding celebration

56
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.879
tour schedule. Madonna has barely seen
Josh for months because her schedule was so

57
00:04:09.960 --> 00:04:14.319
hectic. Things just fizzled out,
and insider told the US Sun at the

58
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:16.319
moment, their relationship doesn't feel feasible
and they've cooled things off, but they

59
00:04:16.319 --> 00:04:20.720
are staying friends. Papa had been
seeing supporting Madonna at several of her tour

60
00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:25.439
dates, including a December show in
Brooklyn where he joined her on stage for

61
00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:29.319
a portion of the performance. Sources
previously suggested that the relationship may have been

62
00:04:29.319 --> 00:04:38.959
a publicity stunt to promote Poppa's jim
More Entertainment just a moment. Singer Billie

63
00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:42.879
Eilish has addressed fan expectations regarding the
length of her concerts, stating that she

64
00:04:42.879 --> 00:04:46.279
will not be playing marathon shows on
her upcoming Hit Me Hard and Soft World

65
00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.519
tour. During a chat with fans
on the app Stationed Head, Eilish explained

66
00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:55.600
that performing every song from her new
album would make her show excessively long.

67
00:04:56.199 --> 00:04:59.800
I'm not doing a three hour show
that's literally psychotic. Nobody wants that.

68
00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:01.600
You guys don't want that. I
don't want that. I don't even want

69
00:05:01.639 --> 00:05:04.720
that as a fan, my favorite
artist in the world. I'm not trying

70
00:05:04.759 --> 00:05:09.720
to hear them for three hours.
She said. Some fans interpreted her comments

71
00:05:09.759 --> 00:05:12.360
as a jab at Taylor Swift,
who has been playing three hour sets on

72
00:05:12.399 --> 00:05:16.759
her Era's tour. However, Eilish
had previously praised Swift's stamina, while acknowledging

73
00:05:16.759 --> 00:05:20.759
that stadium shows aren't her personal preference. The hit Me Hard and Soft tour

74
00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:25.920
is set to kick off in September. In a related story, rock legend

75
00:05:26.040 --> 00:05:29.360
John bon Jovi has expressed his lack
of interest in selling his music catalog,

76
00:05:29.680 --> 00:05:32.480
a trend that has been growing among
artists in recent years. Bon Jovi's former

77
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:38.519
songwriter partner Richie Sambora, sold his
catalog in twenty twenty, including the copyrights

78
00:05:38.519 --> 00:05:41.839
to many of the band's hits.
However, bon Jovi has no plans to

79
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:45.839
follow suit. Our catalog has done
nothing but go up in value exponentially,

80
00:05:45.920 --> 00:05:48.759
he told Yahoo. I know,
matter of factly, it's really exploded to

81
00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:54.839
like fifteen year highs, and the
record referring to the band's upcoming sixteenth studio

82
00:05:54.879 --> 00:05:58.319
album, Forever, is not even
out yet, so I have no need

83
00:05:58.519 --> 00:06:00.800
or desire to. These are my
babies. Several of bon Jovi's songs,

84
00:06:00.800 --> 00:06:05.000
including Living on a Prayer have surpassed
a billion streams on platforms like YouTube and

85
00:06:05.040 --> 00:06:10.879
Spotify. The band's forty year journey, including bon Jovi's successful vocal cord surgery

86
00:06:10.879 --> 00:06:14.399
in twenty twenty two, is the
subject of a new four part Hulu documentary,

87
00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:18.240
Thank You Goodnight, directed by Gotham
Chopra. The documentary delves into bon

88
00:06:18.360 --> 00:06:23.720
Jovi's personal struggles with vocal issues and
his determination to find a solution, ultimately

89
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.120
leading to a successful surgery that allowed
him to continue performing and they have it.
