Jimmy Fallon announced “People” magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive last night, and it’s Jonathan Bailey from “Bridgerton”.  He’s Lord Anthony Bridgerton. He’s also Fiyero in the “Wicked” movies, and Dr. Henry Loomis in “Jurassic World: Rebirth”. He tells “People”, quote, “It’s a huge honor.  Obviously I’m incredibly flattered.  And it’s completely absurd.  It’s been a secret, so I’m quite excited for some friends and family to find out.” Bailey says his first crush was probably Prince Eric from “The Little Mermiad”. (Yes, he’s gay, and apparently the first openly-gay Sexiest Man Alive recipient.)  As for his ideal date night, quote, “I love a walk, I do love dinner, theater, films.  It depends what number date.  You know, if it’s like date 100, then like Legos . . . Some of my best dates have been Lego dates.”

A traditional family values group, One Million Moms, has put “Wheel of Fortune” on their naughty list. for the “insinuated profanity” in the puzzle category “What the Fun?”  They even launched a petition asking the producers to clean things up. As of last night, the petition had close to 12,000 signatures.

The Sun says Taylor Swift has spent $2 million on additional security to avoid the limelight at Travis Kelce’s games. A source says, “The measures at Arrowhead Stadium are important for her. She knows she is always the center of attention and wants to avoid that if possible.”  Taylor and Travis are spending $8 million a year on security alone.

Naughty But Nice says Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce could allegedly score a $70 million deal by streaming their wedding. Sources say, “This would be bigger than the Super Bowl. They’re cultural royalty — everyone wants a piece. She’s protective of her private universe. She’ll never hand over something sacred just to trend. There are countries that would declare this a national holiday. They’re focused on being engaged. Not monetizing the moment.” 

Delco Today says Jason Kelce is promoting a new cologne named Slow Burn. It smells like a backyard barbecue grill and is made by Kingsford Charcoal. Jason narrates the commercial and says “In a world where fire meets flavor and smoke whispers secrets to the wind, one scent dares to make you crave the essence of backyard barbecue. Bold flavors and juicy thighs. Who needs Musk when you can have seared meat? Slow Burn by Kingsford. Savor the smoke. Burn with desire.”

Us Weekly says Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez have allegedly agreed they should never get married again. A source says, “There’s still a lot of love between them, but they both understand they shouldn’t be married. Jen feels more comfortable in her skin than ever. There’s a sense of independence and peace about her. She’s in a really good headspace right now.”

The Daily Mail says Hugh Jackman’s ex-wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, is allegedly set to write a book about their marriage. An insider reveals, “Hugh had heard about Deb’s plans but he didn’t really know until she told him herself during their secret meet–up. He’d been warned early on that almost every A-list divorcee is approached to write a book but part of him hoped Deb wouldn’t take that fat publisher’s check. Furness’ move is not “revenge,” but rather a way for her to find her voice, put herself first and reignite her career. She’s reclaiming her voice. She spent years being known as Hugh’s wife. Now she wants to be known for her truth.”

The Globe says Ana de Armas is allegedly touched by the support from Tom Cruise’s exes Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman following her split from the actor. A source close to the situation says, “Ana’s had an outpouring of support from people since the split, but what’s really come as a shock to her is that both Nicole and Katie are in her corner. Nicole sent word through Reese Witherspoon, who’s friendly with Ana, to let her know she’s there if she ever wants to talk. Katie is apparently on her side, as well. It’s actually not a huge surprise that Katie and Nicole both feel protective of Ana. No doubt they see a lot of their younger selves in her and want to help her through this tough situation. Whether Ana will actually follow up and connect remains to be seen, but she’s very touched.”

The National Enquirer says Nicole Kidman’s children with Tom Cruise, Bella and Connor, are allegedly supporting her decision to divorce Keith Urban after 19 years of marriage. A source shares, “Bella and Connor never understood what Nicole saw in Keith. It was tough to watch her go from their dad — this handsome superstar who handed her the world on a platter — to this random country singer. It didn’t help that Keith landed in rehab a few months after they got married. They both had a real issue with Keith. With him gone, things are bound to get even better between them and Nicole. This split has thrown her for a huge loop, but if it leads to a better relationship with her kids, no doubt that will be a big silver lining for her.”

The Globe says people are worried about Keith Urban’s emotional state following his split from Nicole Kidman.  A source says, “Keith is running on empty. He’s acting like a lost soul, and there’s a lot of concern that he’s in emotional free fall without Nicole by his side. But the painful and undeniable truth is that he’s extremely fragile, and a lot of folks are worried about him. Keith has given everything he has to becoming a better musician, and right now it looks like that’s wrecked his personal life. Even in their happiest years, Keith’s loner streak and introversion tested Nicole’s patience. Now that they’ve called it quits, Keith is more alone than ever.”

Parade Magazine says Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are continuing in their quest to have a child through IVF. Bunnie says, “It is tough, but at the same time it’s like, you just put it in God’s hands. If it’s meant to be it’s meant to be. And if not, we can always adopt. I’m totally open to adoption too and so is my husband.”

KTIC says Lainey Wilson recently pulled a hilarious prank during her Houston show. She made the opening act, Muscadine Bloodline, perform while sitting on toilets on stage.  The quirky prank delighted the audience and showcased Wilson’s playful side.
