‘Special Forces: World's Toughest Test' season 4 celebrity cast revealed
The 18-person cast includes some headline-making names, most notably actor Jussie Smollett. Known for his role on Empire, Smollett has kept a low profile since a 2019 incident in which he alleged he was the victim of a hate crime—an allegation authorities later disputed. After a lengthy legal battle, he recently settled with the city of Chicago.
Joining Smollett is Real Housewives of New Jersey star Teresa Giudice, along with her daughter, Gia Giudice, who also appears on the Bravo series and is an influencer and podcaster. America's Next Top Model winner and Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Eva Marcille will also compete.
Other cast members include Sister Wives patriarch Kody Brown; Vanderpump Rules personality Brittany Cartwright; NFL veterans Randall Cobb, Eric Decker, and Andrew East; and gymnast and Dancing With the Stars winner Shawn Johnson East. Also appearing are model Chanel Iman, TikTok creator Mark Estes, Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia, and former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel.
The lineup rounds out with actor Ravi V. Patel, Olympic soccer player Christie Pearce Rampone, and former NBA player Nick Young.
Previous seasons have been physically punishing and emotionally raw—season 3 included Denise Richards sustaining a serious injury during a stunt. Season 4 promises the same level of intensity, as revealed in exclusive promotional images showing cast members bloodied and exhausted mid-challenge.

Taylor Swift jokes about being booed by fans in New Heights podcast teaser
Taylor Swift turned on the charm—and a bit of cheek—during a lighthearted teaser for her debut appearance on the New Heights podcast. In a clip previewing the episode, Swift quipped, 'You guys have a lot of male sports fans that listen to your podcast. I think we all know that if there's one thing that male sports fans want to see in their spaces and on their screens — it's more of me.' The playful comment follows mixed reactions to her frequent TV appearances at NFL games, prompting debates among fans and commentators. The episode, hosted by her boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason Kelce, is scheduled to air Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET. Swift's presence—often spotlighted in broadcasts—has generated both popularity and scrutiny, but the NFL maintains her visibility has amplified positive attention for the sport. The teaser also hints at more than just jokes: Swift is expected to reveal details of her upcoming 12th album, The Life of a Showgirl, during the episode. Known for its candid and entertaining exchanges, New Heights blends sports and celebrity culture, and Swift's appearance promises to draw huge viewership. Given the podcast's influence—already ranked among the top sports podcasts in the U.S.—this episode may set record engagement. As anticipation builds, fans are poised to tune in, ready for memorable moments and perhaps a bit more of Swift's trademark wit.

Taylor Swift announces new album 'The Life of a Showgirl' in New Heights podcast with Travis Kelce
Taylor Swift has announced her 12th studio album, The Life of a Showgirl, following a carefully orchestrated midnight reveal. At exactly 12.12am Eastern Time on August 12, her website switched to a glittering orange countdown before briefly crashing as fans rushed to see the update. The announcement followed weeks of cryptic hints. Taylor Nation, her official marketing arm, posted 12 Eras Tour images on Instagram with the caption: 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…''. Swift will also join her partner, NFL player Travis Kelce, on his New Heights podcast on Wednesday, adding to fan speculation. Swift's website confirms the album will ship before October 13, but emphasises this is not the official release date. No tracklist has been revealed. The 35-year-old remains one of the world's bestselling artists, with over 200 million records sold and the record for the most US number one albums by a female artist. Her Eras Tour became the first to gross over $1bn, selling 2.4 million tickets in a single day. Her previous album, The Tortured Poets Department, broke Spotify records with 300 million streams in a day and 1 billion in five days, placing her in the top 14 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously. In May, Swift regained ownership of her first six albums after a two-decade battle over her master recordings, having rerecorded most as 'Taylor's Version' releases. Only Reputation and her 2006 debut remain unreleased in this format. Fans believe they may still appear despite her now owning the originals outright. Fans excitedly await the new episode of New Heights podcast which will drop at 7 pm ET on August 12th.

Fans speculate Taylor Swift may reveal 12th album on Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast
Speculation is growing among Taylor Swift fans that the singer could announce her 12th studio album on the podcast hosted by NFL players Travis and Jason Kelce. On Monday, Taylor Nation — Swift's official marketing and publicity team — shared a post on Instagram that caught the attention of the Swiftie community. The caption read: 'Thinking about when she said 'See you next era…'' alongside images of outfits from the Eras Tour featuring prominent orange tones. The post concluded with a burning heart emoji, a detail fans believe symbolises a shift into a new creative period. The consistent use of orange has become a focal point for fan theories. Earlier teasers also incorporated the colour, leading some to believe it could be a theme for the upcoming album, widely referred to online as #TS12. Theories intensified after some linked the visual style of the teasers to the Kelce brothers' podcast, which has become known for drawing high-profile guests. Travis and Jason Kelce's podcast, popular for its mix of sports talk and celebrity interviews, has a substantial following that extends beyond American football fans. Supporters suggest the platform could serve as an unconventional but impactful setting for a major announcement from Swift. While there has been no official confirmation from Swift or her representatives, fans have been quick to analyse every clue. Social media platforms have been filled with discussions about the meaning of the orange colour scheme and whether it signals a new era in her music. Swift's most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, was released in April 2024. If the speculation proves correct, the new project would mark her 12th studio release and continue her pattern of embedding cryptic hints in promotional material.
