Kevin Bacon found himself one degree from some serious pain during a recent walk in the woods. He was attacked by a swarm of bees during a hike with his daughter. The actor shared the moment in an Instagram video and joked about his brush with the buzzy attackers. He said, So these bees, they must not have liked my work or something and they went full on after me. ‘Let’s attack KB’. Bees stinging me everywhere, including underneath my shirt. Now, it was very nice of my daughter to not take out her phone and start videoing this epic bee sting dance that I was doing. But I asked her if there was any way that she could recreate it from memory.” Instagram post

Carrie Underwood tells Page Six that there is no beef between her and comedian Nikki Glaser stemming from Nikki’s judging appearance on American Idol. “I think she did such a great job because it’s not an easy thing to come sit behind that desk and try to think of constructive things to say.

It’s so hard because country music’s doing so well right now. I feel like you got to put Morgan (Wallen) up there, man. Morgan’s got to go. I’m going to put Shania Twain. This is so hard. See, I would put Ella (Langley) up there right now because she’s killing it, but it’s too early.” (You can watch the clip here.)

Because I know it’s gonna be there. It’s like someone is in your house and you don’t know it yet. Then you just… I just heard something in the kitchen. Now I’m going to check it out. There’s somebody there for sure. There’s definitely somebody there. He’s not friendly.”

Naughty But Nice says Taylor Swift has allegedly secretly commissioned six wedding gowns. A source says, “There are multiple gowns standing by. Taylor could wear one dress the entire night, or she could change several times. At this point, every option is on the table. “Some of the dresses are deliberate decoys. The goal is to confuse people, stop leaks, and make sure nobody figures out the real look ahead of time. Every designer involved signed ironclad NDAs. No photos, no sketches, no fitting details — absolutely nothing is allowed to leak. Taylor wants complete control over the reveal.”

The News International says Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are allegedly planning a London celebration after they get married. A source says, “London holds a huge place in Taylor’s heart and she has so many British friends who she wants to celebrate with. Travis and Taylor partied at the Chiltern two years ago following her Eras tour dates at Wembley, and it is a special place for her. They are working on a personalized menu with bespoke cocktails and carefully selected wines. They’re looking at entertainment options but Taylor obviously has lots of talented friends in the music industry so it’s likely some could end up performing.”

RadarOnline.com claims Meghan Markle allegedly underwent humility training ahead of her Australia tour. A source says, “Meghan was painfully aware going into Australia that accusations about her being demanding, controlling, or difficult had continued to follow her ever since she stepped away from royal duties. She understood that this tour would be judged not just on appearances or headlines, but on whether people felt she came across as approachable, warm, and genuinely engaged. Because of that, there was an extraordinary level of planning behind the scenes aimed at softening her image and eliminating anything that could feed the old ‘diva duchess’ narrative. Huge amounts of time and money were invested into preparation sessions covering every conceivable detail – how she greeted people, how long she held conversations, what subjects she raised publicly, even the emotional tone she projected during appearances. Advisers were intensely focused on making sure she appeared polished but relatable, glamorous but grounded. This trip was basically preceded by humility – or, more precisely, anti-diva training for Meghan.”

The Blast says Alec Baldwin being a full time dad and engaging in legal fights related to his shooting are allegedly wearing him down. A source says, “Alec has been running on empty for years. And now he likes to take on the lion’s share of child-minding, allowing Hilaria time and space to do her own thing, especially as she’s got plenty of work projects and other passions that take up so much of her time. This has reportedly left Alec looking like an exhausted zombie with bags under his eyes 24/7.”

Radar Online says Jimmy Kimmel allegedly plans to shift from late-night to game shows.  An insider says, “As he looks at the declining and contracting talk show world, Jimmy is preparing for what’s next. With the right idea, game shows can be very cheap to produce, and Jimmy also sees these projects as potentially employing a lot of his family members and longtime staffers should Jimmy Kimmel Live! end its run in the next few years. His talk show is important to him, but Jimmy is now out to prove to his bosses that he can be useful in many other ways beyond just hosting. He’s been helping to create interesting shows and unique formats for going on 30 years.”

StyleCaster says Nicole Kidman is allegedly using revenge fashion to show Keith Urban what he is missing. A source says, “Nicole is using fashion as a form of expression right now—the bolder, more daring looks feel like a conscious statement of autonomy, almost as if she is reclaiming her identity on her own terms with a punk rock-type, edgier aesthetic after the end of a long marriage. The styling choices have an edge that was not always present before—it carries a kind of defiant energy, as though she is signaling not just that she has moved on, but that she is thriving in a way that is impossible to ignore. And she looks great, which is also rubbing Keith’s face in what he is missing by not being with her anymore.”
