Kelce said he and his wife woke up to Wyatt singing the “entire” song....

The Celtics came up just short of an NBA title this past season and the truth is, it can’t help but feel like they shot themselves in the foot. The greatness of Stephen Curry and the Warriors’ experience on the NBA Finals stage are two aspects that certainly deserve plenty of credit, but Boston’s penchant for forcing things on offense and turning the ball over was undoubtedly its Achilles heel throughout the entire playoffs....
Jeff Hardy’s debut comes after weeks of rumors and concerns surrounding his contract status with WWE, but it all appears to be cast aside for now, as he wasted no time shedding his “free agent” status on March 9 by signing with AEW that very day. Regal’s signing itself is one deemed crucial by AEW fans and critics alike, as while he no longer actively wrestles, he brings an extraordinary on-screen presence, character, and ability to raise the stock of performers around him, as well as an invaluable backstage presence, given his top-notch experience as the globe-trotting talent scout for the original WWE NXT promotion and helping to put together the amazing television and live events the brand had at its peak....

Coolidge, 60, was arguably the breakout star of the comedy franchise, appearing in four of the movies, ranging from 1999’s American Pie to American Reunion, which was released in 2012. Her character’s sultry aura saw the franchise’s coining of the term “MILF”—an acronym for “mother I’d like to f***"—and Coolidge has admitted that the role led to her being equally desired away from the big screen. “You know, I got a lot of play at being a MILF and I got a lot of sexual action from American Pie,” she said in an interview with Variety....

So it is just drenched in me.” She continued, “At the same time, my job now, oddly, is to simply be myself. And I say it that way, because for 20 years I played Effie [in the 2006 film Dreamgirls] to Aretha [Franklin in 2021’s Respect] and singing everybody’s songs....
