Erin Andrews' dating advice sparks hope while Charissa Thompson declares marriage is a mistake
In the ever-evolving world of love and relationships, FOX's NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews is offering a refreshing take—especially when it comes to long-distance romance.
Speaking candidly on her Calm Down podcast with co-host and close friend Charissa Thompson, Andrews offered heartfelt advice to fans navigating complicated love lives.
Erin Andrews sees excitement in
long-distance relationships
Erin Andrews' life may be a whirlwind of sportscasting, fashion ventures, and podcasting, but she's never been shy about opening up. On a recent episode of Calm Down, a listener asked about handling long-distance relationships. Andrews didn't sugarcoat the challenges, but her message was rooted in optimism.
'Look, I think it's hard to date in the same city, in a different state. It's also hard to find the right person,' she admitted. However, she encouraged listeners not to give up on love just because of logistics. 'If you have a crush and they live in another state, I don't think that should deter you from not moving forward,' Andrews said. She even called it 'exciting' when you finally get to reunite with your partner after time apart.

Andrews wrapped her advice with the kind of real-world wisdom that has made her podcast such a hit: 'If you have the means, if you have the patience, if you are interested in each other that much, see where it goes.'
Charissa Thompson stands firm: 'No more marriage for me'
While Erin Andrews leans into love, Charissa Thompson is waving goodbye to the idea of ever marrying again. With two previous marriages behind her, Thompson is content with where she is—no veil, no vows, just love.

'I am never getting married again,' Thompson declared firmly on the podcast. 'People just want to show up for the party... I'm just not going to have a wedding.'
Her stance isn't new. In another conversation with Kylie Kelce, she reflected on her past, saying, 'I married the wrong people, plural. I don't want to attach myself to something that I can't detach from.'
Even when fans questioned her love life on social media, Thompson kept it classy. Responding to a sarcastic question about how many times she plans to get married, she replied, 'No more marriage for me, but thanks for asking. Just being with a man who is kind and doesn't take from me is all the commitment I need!'

Donald Trump calls Taylor Swift 'no longer hot' while praising Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad
Taylor Swift Dragged into Sydney Sweeney Ad Drama as Trump Says She's Not 'Hot' Anymore. (Image-X) You'd think a jeans commercial wouldn't be political warfare, but here we are. What started as a cheeky American Eagle campaign featuring Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney has spiraled into an unexpected culture war with Taylor Swift caught in the crossfire. The moment the words 'great jeans' turned into a thinly veiled pun about genetics, the internet exploded. And then came Donald Trump , calling Sweeney 'hot,' dragging Taylor as 'no longer hot,' and turning what should've been a harmless denim moment into a full-on GOP-vs-Swift spectacle. Trump calls Sydney Sweeney 'hot' and Taylor Swift 'no longer hot' for the American Eagle ad drama American Eagle's new campaign featuring Sydney Sweeney was all about wordplay: 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans,' with the word genes crossed out in classic handwritten rebel font. But what was meant to be flirty and fun got dragged on social media for echoing eugenic undertones. Critics online pointed out how the ad seemed to elevate a very specific standard of beauty, white, blonde, blue-eyed and combined with genetics talk, things got uncomfortable real fast. Then Donald Trump got involved, and chaos officially began. After finding out Sydney is a registered Republican, Trump went straight to Truth Social and posted: 'Sydney Sweeney, a registered Republican, has the HOTTEST ad out there. It's for American Eagle, and the jeans are flying off the shelves. Go get 'em Sydney!' He followed it up with, 'Being WOKE is for losers. Being Republican is what you want to be.' He even took the opportunity to bash Jaguar or any company that doesn't align with his vibe. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Bo Derek's Probably The Most Gorgeous 68-Year-Old. Paperela Undo But the most unexpected moment? Trump deciding to take a swipe at Taylor Swift out of nowhere. Trump randomly veered into pop star territory, taking a direct shot at Swift's popularity. He said: 'She was booed out of the Super Bowl and became NO LONGER HOT .' Cue the record scratch. The attack felt wildly out of place, especially since Taylor had nothing to do with the jeans ad but that didn't stop Trump from making it political. With Swift being vocal about progressive causes and her support for Biden, it's clear she's the go-to 'woke celeb' target for conservative outrage. So when Sweeney got the Republican stamp of approval, Swift naturally got the backhanded burn. This isn't the first time Trump's taken jabs at Taylor, but calling her 'no longer hot' while praising Sweeney as the new conservative darling? That's petty on a whole new level. American Eagle's stock soared nearly 24%, because of course controversy sells. Right-wing pundits like Megyn Kelly and Ted Cruz jumped in to praise Sweeney's 'anti-woke energy,' while left-leaning critics continued dragging the brand for 'objectifying' women and playing with dangerous cultural symbolism.

BTS faces backlash over alleged Michael Jackson collaboration: ‘Literally no one wants this'
BTS may be about to enter their most controversial decade to date. According to reports, the South Korean supergroup is working on a top-secret tribute project as they get ready for their reunion: recording an unreleased song that was originally written for Michael Jackson . The song was recorded during Jackson's 2006 stay in Ireland at the Grouse Lodge studio, where he worked on an unfinished album. Paddy Dunning, the owner of the studio, recently disclosed that BTS came to re-record one of those long-lost songs there last year. "The sessions started last year, and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs," Dunning said in an interview with The Irish Sun. "There are about ten more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project." In addition to the music, Dunning revealed that a documentary about Jackson's contented life in Ireland with his kids is currently in development. 'Michael's estate told me to plough ahead with this because, like me, they see it as a tribute to Michael. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cesar Millan Reveals What Honey Does to Your Aging Dog Experts In Pet Health Learn More Undo And for the documentary, we're going to get everyone's memories of working with Michael in Ireland," he continued. During a trip to the United States, the owner even had the opportunity to meet Prince, Jackson's oldest son. Prince allegedly stated that he, Paris, and Blanket hope to visit the studio again in the future as they discussed the family's stay at Grouse Lodge. Netizens are not overjoyed Although the partnership is being marketed as a tribute, online responses seem to indicate otherwise. While many fans are excited, many others are suspicious, if not outright annoyed. One user on X questioned, "Have Michael Jackson's family and estate approved of this?" Another user commented, "I don't have anything against them, but their style/sound has nothing in common with MJ... This song will NOT be good.' "They're so desperate, oh my goodness," one fan commented, while another added, "If anyone had the honor of this, it should have been Gaga. " One user questioned, "Who asked for this, no shade?" while another said bluntly, "They're not even close to Michael Jackson's level, mind you… so that's a lot of nerve.' Some were even more severe. One person said, "This is so disrespectful; we need to cancel BTS now." Another said, 'They're going to ruin it.' 'Literally no one wants this. K-pop, stop biting off of other artists challenge!', according to another comment. Another said, 'They're doing anything for a comeback clearly.' "Who are they to even touch Michael Jackson's music?" said another. It's undeniable that BTS has always admired Jackson, even in spite of the criticism. In many respects, their English hit song Dynamite was a visual and vocal tribute to the King of Pop. In addition, the group has consistently stated that he is an inspiration to them, even receiving an honorary mention in his documentary Thriller 40 (2023). Time (and streaming numbers) will tell if this new project turns out to be a musical misstep or a heartfelt tribute, but it might just be an extension of that same respect.
