Jason Kelce Defends Dyeing His Gray Beard After Revealing His Refreshed Look on 'New Heights': 'Don't Hate Me'
Kelce assured that the transformation was for a "good reason" NEED TO KNOW Jason Kelce is getting straight to the point about his recent transformation Appearing on camera in a teaser for the Aug. 13 episode of the New Heights podcast featuring Taylor Swift, the former athlete revealed his dark brunette facial hair Jason, who was previously recognized for his gray facial hair, defended his grooming choice on X in response to fellow beard-wearer Ryan Fitzpatrick's comment about feeling "betrayed" by the change Jason Kelce stands by his decision to sack one of his signature looks. When the former Philadelphia Eagles star and his brother, Travis Kelce, announced Taylor Swift as their next New Heights guest, he also revealed a major change to his appearance. In a teaser clip for the Aug. 13 episode, the dad of four and podcaster, 37, rocked dark brown facial hair close to his natural hair color. The transformation marked a noticeable departure from his formerly gray facial hair that he's been seen wearing on and off the football field for years. Although he didn't address the change in the video, which was released on Aug. 12, he took to X minutes later to defend his decision after former NFL quarterback, Ryan Fitzpatrick, who has also made his graying blonde beard his signature look, wrote that he felt "betrayed" by his comrade. In response, Kelce wrote: "I promise the dye was for a good reason, don't hate me." Although, he didn't go into further specifics about why he finally took the plunge. This wouldn't be the first time the athlete has put attention on the hair on his body. In June, another bushy region was put up for discussion after Kelce stripped down to a pair of Speedos at the Ocean Drive event hosted to raise money for the Eagles Autism Foundation. Looking back on the moment in a July 2 episode of New Heights, Kelce revealed that the moment started because of weight-related bet with his pal Beau Allen, which he eventually lost. 'The bet was loser has to wear a Speedo at this Ocean Drive event. And for those of you that remember, I didn't think that was enough. Smart by me. So, we talked about maybe adding something else to it" — getting a bikini wax. 'Thank God I did because this thing would have looked so much worse if I wasn't waxed,' Kelce quipped. 'I mean, it would have been even more gross.' The conversation around hair has not been exclusive to just one Kelce sibling, though, because while Jason is often talked about for his facial fuzz, Travis, 35, has been most talked about for his locks.

After his fade went viral during the 2023-24 NFL season, the Kansas City Chiefs star adopted a longer and wavier hairstyle so lush (well, at least it was before he chopped it into a buzz cut in July), his hairstylist had to shut down rumors about the tight end having hair plugs. "Nah, not at all, man," barber Vince Garcia told Us Weekly when asked about the transplant rumors. "That's a full head of hair right there." Read the original article on People

Boy finishes jiu-jitsu match—what he does next leaves even the referee in awe
In competitive sports, the focus is usually on victory—the handshake, the medal, the celebration. In one viral TikTok posted by Edgar Alcala (@3dgaralcala), the most unforgettable part came after the match was over. A young boy had just finished his jiu-jitsu round. The referee raised his hand in victory, but instead of basking in the spotlight, his eyes darted toward the lineup of kids. One competitor was standing off to the side, left out of the group huddle. Without hesitation, the boy reached out his hand, beckoning the last child to join them. It was a small gesture that spoke volumes. Even the referee paused, visibly moved, as the boy made sure no one was excluded. The video has racked up over 12.3 million views in just two days, sparking conversations about empathy, sportsmanship, and the quiet ways kids lead by example. Related: True sportsmanship—character that goes beyond the game Why this is more than a sports highlight This scene shows how kids can absorb empathy and inclusion when they see it modeled in everyday life. Acts like this grow from countless small lessons—how to treat others, what to do when someone is left out, and why kindness matters. In that moment, the boy's focus was on making sure everyone felt part of the celebration. Sportsmanship starts long before the match Parents often hope sports will teach their children values like teamwork, discipline, and respect. Moments like this prove sportsmanship is rooted in connection. When kids learn to spot who's on the sidelines and invite them in, they're practicing skills that carry into every part of life: building empathy, strengthening friendships, and learning how to navigate social situations with kindness. Teaching kids to handle victory and inclusion with grace Gestures like this often come from what kids see and experience every day. Psychiatrist Dr. Leesha M. Ellis-Cox, who works with children and teens, says sportsmanship is learned. Kids notice how we respond to wins, losses, and the people around us. Parents can show what that looks like—congratulating others, respecting officials, and recognizing effort as much as results. Dr. Leesha suggests celebrating a win while also teaching humility by thanking teammates and coaches and making space for others in the moment. Supporting kids after a tough game, setting clear boundaries around unkind behavior, and creating chances to acknowledge others can shape a healthy attitude toward competition. These habits help kids step into games, school, and friendships with confidence and empathy. Related: How to help your child win–and lose–graciously What people are saying The TikTok's comments section has turned into a standing ovation for the boy, and for the values he's already showing at such a young age: @benulus: 'no cause that WHY he's No.1.' @emmaelger: 'The finger reaching to the last kid so everyone is included.' @Tl____12: 'Champ, well done mum and dad.' @eina598: 'Ok but who raised this baby.' Related: This viral Little League moment is a brilliant display of empathy and healthy masculinity Raising kids who lead with empathy When children grow up in spaces where inclusion is the norm, they carry that mindset into every interaction—on the mat, in the classroom, and beyond. Small, unprompted acts of kindness like this are proof that the values children absorb today shape the way they'll treat others tomorrow. And that's a win worth celebrating.

I Tried Out ChatGPT's New Personalities, and It Mocked Me
ChatGPT got sassy with me and told me "human hope is adorable" when I asked it about my favorite college football team's prospects this season. It offered me tips for "petty human revenge" when my cat wakes me up in the middle of the night. And then, with a couple of clicks, it changed its tone to be sympathetic and earnest. It's the result of a new feature OpenAI unveiled with the chatbot's GPT-5 model, released this week. With one quick selection, you can change the entire tone of ChatGPT's answers to you. The choices -- Default, Cynic, Robot, Listener, Nerd -- allow you to dial in the kind of experience you want. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis, CNET's parent company, in April filed a lawsuit against OpenAI, alleging it infringed Ziff Davis copyrights in training and operating its AI systems.) The debut of GPT-5 has been a little rockier than OpenAI expected, with many users complaining that they couldn't access older models like GPT-4o. OpenAI quickly rolled that back, but there have been other issues, like a slow rollout of the new model to all users. I took all five for a spin with the same questions: One about Alabama football, one about Shakespeare and one about my cat's habit of getting the 3 a.m. zoomies. Below, I'll tell you what I thought about each. But first, the basics. How to change ChatGPT's personality Enlarge Image This menu allows you to change how ChatGPT talks to you. Screenshot by Jon Reed/CNET Switching personalities is easy. In the browser, you can click on your account info on the bottom left and choose "Customize ChatGPT" to pull up a range of options. You can tell it your name and job and choose certain traits you want it to have. What I played around with specifically was the question "What personality should ChatGPT have?" There, you can scroll through the five options and see a preview of what each one might sound like. On the mobile app, you can find this under Settings > Personalization > Customize ChatGPT. When you change its personality, you should start a new chat to ensure you're getting the tone you selected. Otherwise, you'll be stuck with the old one and wonder why nothing changed. Default: The tone you expect from ChatGPT ChatGPT's default voice is basic, straightforward and businesslike. When I asked how it thought Alabama's football season would go this year, it gave me a lengthy recap of the major issues and storylines in a tone you'd expect from a sportswriter. I then told it I was thinking about reading more Shakespeare and asked where I should start with the history plays, which I had never read in school. The night before, while at the bookstore, I had browsed Reddit for the answer to this question, and what I got from ChatGPT was basically the same answer I got there, with a few different options. It was a lot of text to tell me to start with Richard II. Finally, I asked what I should do about my cat waking me up every night at 3 a.m. ChatGPT provided a detailed step-by-step explanation, mostly about ensuring he gets more activity during the day and especially right before bedtime, with a big meal right before bed. The answer had some emoji spread throughout, which I've seen frequently in AI answers. ChatGPT had a little personality, but not much: A tone that sounds like a helpful Reddit thread or blog post, which makes sense considering that's what the model was trained on. Cynic: The bot gets snippy The tone shift between Default and Cynic was immediately noticeable. For the football question, ChatGPT sounded like a grouchy talk radio caller -- referring to head coach Kalen DeBoer only by his last name, saying that anything short of a playoff appearance means "DeBoer might as well start packing" and that being ranked third in the Southeastern Conference in a preseason poll is "arguably a participation trophy." (As an aside, ChatGPT bungled the schedule, saying Alabama plays Florida State, Georgia, South Carolina and Auburn all in September, when those games are actually spread across four months. If this model is like talking to someone with a doctoral degree, as OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has claimed, it's clear that degree didn't come from a football school.)

ChatGPT said Shakespeare's Henry VI Parts 1-3 and Richard III are "like the Fast & Furious of medieval politics -- less about subtlety, more about chaos." It told me to stick to a routine for the cat "like a stubborn monarch." Maybe it still had Shakespeare on the brain. Content-wise, the answers were basically the same as for the Default setting. It was just the tone. If you want to feel like you're talking with a grumbly teenager, maybe go with the Cynic. I'll probably pass. Watch this: OpenAI Introduces GPT-5 at OpenAI's Summer Update Event 11:53 Robot: No flash or style, and that's the point The Robot is devoid of personality. Its answers are succinct. Its sentences are short. For the football question, its sentences sounded like reworded headlines: "Ty Simpson is Alabama's named starting quarterback for the 2025 season." The Shakespeare answer was even shorter. It just told me to start with the same series of plays (the Henriad tetralogy) that the other personalities had, with very little context. The answer to the cat question was just bullet points with one-sentence explanations. There's no flavor here, no sass. That's fine. If I wanted quick guidance and didn't want anything else, this might be my pick. Listener: I get it, you're sympathetic ChatGPT sounds here like it really cares about what I'm feeling. I sound anxious about the upcoming football season, I guess, "and that's fair, given how much is shifting quietly beneath the surface," ChatGPT assures me. It takes a generous tone toward the issues it highlights -- the opposite of the Cynic -- saying quarterback Simpson is "solid, if untested" and a "known unknown." On Shakespeare, it tells me to read in a way that helps me get a feel for the story rather than "feeling like you've been dropped in the middle of a chessboard." In retraining my cat, it says, "The hard part is holding the line while you're half-asleep and they're yowling in your face." This tone is kind and generous, but it feels almost a little too human. Especially given the very real concerns around how many people are leaning on AI tools for emotional support and validation. Even Altman has said he's worried that some people are growing too attached to the personalities of AI models. A tone that is robotic reminds you it's a robot. A tone that is too caring may give you false hope or confidence. Nerd: Maybe too much information No matter what your interest is, someone out there knows way more about it than you do or at least thinks they do. That's what talking to the Nerd feels like. When I asked about football, it started citing advanced statistics and training camp reports. It reminded me of trying to have a conversation with the sportswriters on my college newspaper staff -- a lot of things only a blogger would know. It recommended I read annotated versions of Shakespeare (including recommending the Folger and Arden editions) and watch filmed versions alongside reading. Which is helpful, but incredibly nerdy. I can see the Nerd personality being useful for going down intensive rabbit holes of information. But again, remember to check ChatGPT's (or Gemini's or Perplexity's or whichever chatbot's) citations and check its facts. Just because the chatbot sounds like it knows everything there is to know about the topic doesn't mean it's not making it all up.
