Bills QB Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld marry in Southern California

Mint2 days ago

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and actor Hailee Steinfeld tied the knot on Saturday, according to multiple media reports.
Pictures emerged from the power couple's wedding that took place in Southern California, where both Allen and Steinfeld live.
Photos obtained by 'People' magazine show Steinfeld, in a white strapless gown, walking down the aisle as well as the couple sharing a kiss.
The timing and location of the wedding were closely guarded secrets, though Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins let the cat out of the bag in March by revealing the date as May 31. He later backtracked, saying he didn't know anything.
Despite the pending wedding, Allen was present for the start of the Bills voluntary series of spring practices, which opened on Tuesday. The Bills return to practice on Monday, though Allen isn't scheduled to address the media until the Bills open their mandatory sessions on June 10.
Allen, who turned 29 last week, and the 28-year-old Steinfeld were engaged during the Bills bye week in November, when the quarterback proposed on a California cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean.
The two were first linked in the spring of 2023, when they were photographed dining together in New York City. Steinfeld has since begun attending Bills home games and the couple was inseparable at the NFL Awards ceremony in February, when Allen credited Steinfeld upon accepting the league's MVP honor.
Allen followed suit in April in being spotted with Steinfeld arriving for an after-party following premier of the movie 'Sinners,' which stars Steinfeld.
Steinfeld began her acting career at the age of 10, and earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role as Mattie Ross in the Coen brothers' 2010 remake of 'True Grit.'
Allen is entering his eighth NFL season. In March, he signed a contract extension worth $330 million.

Aashima Mahajan talks about her experience of working with A. R. Rahman in ‘Thug Life'

Playback singer Aashima Mahajan, who has crooned the song 'Jinguchaa' from the upcoming film 'Thug Life', has spoken up on the process of recording the track, and working in tandem with the Oscar and Grammy-winning music composer A. R. Rahman. Aashima has sung both the Hindi and Telugu versions of the song. The singer admitted that Telugu being a new language, posed a challenge for her as she required more takes to record the song compared to its Hindi version. The singer told, 'For the Hindi version, we recorded two to three takes, and based on the requirement of the song, he chose the one he liked. The Telugu version was a bit tougher for me and took more time and effort'. 'Jinguchaa' is a vibrant and celebratory song that has captivated audiences with its infectious energy and star-studded visuals. Aashima Mahajan shares the vocals with Sukhwinder Singh, Ronkini Gupta & Vaishali Samant, adding to the festive spirit of this foot-tapping number. The lyrics are penned by veteran megastar Kamal Haasan and the video features performances by Silambarasan TR, Sanya Malhotra, and Kamal Haasan. 'Since I don't speak Telugu, I had a pronunciation guide who helped me with the diction, learning how to pronounce the consonants and vowels correctly. I already knew the melody and emotions in the Hindi version, but switching to Telugu meant learning a new language, where even the word placement changes depending on the meaning. So, it was a bit of a challenge, but I really enjoyed the process. We ended up recording and had a lot of fun', she added. The word 'Jinguchaa' translates to 'celebrations'. Aashima is an alumnus of A.R. Rahman's KM Music Conservatory. Talking about her experience of working with A.R. Rahman, the singer said, 'It's incredibly rewarding to be part of such a beautiful and globally acclaimed project, especially with maestros like A.R. Rahman and Mani Ratnam were involved. I feel truly overwhelmed to see that the track is still trending and receiving so much love from audiences. My heart is filled with warmth and gratitude for all the appreciation the song has received'. 'Working with A.R. Rahman Sir has been nothing short of a dream come true for any singer. He is a force of music, almost a celestial soul, yet his aura is both empowering and calming, he has a way of instantly putting you at ease. I will never forget the moment when, after listening to my album track, he said I have the potential to be the Indian version of Adele. That compliment means the world to me and I will keep that in my heart forever,' she added.

Who's most likely to win 2025 NBA Finals MVP? Here are key predictions

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has already won the NBA MVP and the Western Conference Finals MVP. He is now the strongest candidate to win the Finals MVP, too. What are Shai's chances to win Finals MVP, you might wonder? He has favorable odds without question. According to OddsChecker, a betting website, his odds of winning the Finals MVP award are -550. Shai performed well in the Western Conference Finals, of course. He is credited for averaging 31.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.2 rebounds. The Oklahoma City Thunder dispatched the Minnesota Timberwolves 4-1 and advanced to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. Also Read: NBA All-star 'confident' that New York Knicks will make title run next season The Thunder will play the Indiana Pacers in the Finals. Pacers point guard Tyrese Haliburton was next in line in the MVP-sweepstakes conversation. Even though Haliburton did not win the Eastern Conference Finals MVP, his line is ahead of teammate Pascal Siakam for MVP nods. Siakam won the MVP for the Eastern Conference Finals with five votes. Haliburton received four votes. Siakam had a great game during the Game 6 win against the New York Knicks. He was credited with 31 points. His averages for the series were 24.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 3.5 assists. Haliburton had averages of 21 points, 6 rebounds, and 10.5 assists. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (Thunder): -550 Tyrese Haliburton (Pacers): +650 Pascal Siakam (Pacers): +2300 Jalen Williams (Thunder): +3300 Chet Holmgren (Thunder): +7500 Myles Turner (Pacers): +36000 If Gilgeous-Alexander wins Finals MVP, it will make him the first player to win both the league MVP and Finals MVP in the same year since LeBron James did it in 2013. He would also break a streak of 8 consecutive MVP award winners not winning a championship in their MVP year. The last was in 2015, when Stephen Curry won the NBA title with the Warriors. After all that, if Shai and the Thunder win the championship, it will be the first in Oklahoma City since they moved from Seattle to Oklahoma in 2008.

NBA Finals: Oklahoma City Thunder players to watch vs Indiana Pacers

The Oklahoma City Thunder are ready to host the first game of the NBA Finals in their hometown on Thursday (June 5). The team will be playing against the Indiana Pacers for the title in what's proved to be an interesting but welcome lead-up to a compelling season. This matchup marks the sixth consecutive season where the NBA does not have a repeat finalist from either the Eastern or Western Conference. Moreover, this is the first time that two mid-scale teams are facing off against each other for the title. All eyes are set on the key players among the Thunder to bring home the cup and laurels for the first time since 1979. Named as league MVP and Western Conference finals MVP this year, Shai-Gilgeous Alexander is no easy name to tackle. The point guard is known for his ability to glide quickly and smartly through the paint to get to the free-throw line and deliver tough finishes. With an average of 29.8 points, 6.9 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.6 steals while shooting 47.1% from the field, Alexander is a score-first player in contrast to his Pacers counterpart, Tyrese Haliburton. He secured decisive wins in the five games played against the Minnesota Timberwolves to gain a decisive footing in the West. Only the first match against Haliburton will reveal how well he stands up to the underdog team of this series. Jalen Williams gave a challenge to the Timberwolves in every match he played, but struggled to be an offensive threat against the Denver Nuggets during the second round. Although the burden to stabilize things can be left up to Chet Holmgren, Williams still needs to be consistent to deliver optimal performance. Holmgren and Isaiah Hartenstein are the hidden key to the Thunder's offensive and defensive success. In most situations, the Thunder tend to rely solely on their top two to three players to secure a win. Lu Dort, Alex Caruso, Isaiah Joe, Aaron Wiggins, and Cason Wallace are tasked with providing backcourt depth to the Thunder during play. Although they have a decisive edge when it comes to rotation, the fact that even their ninth guy is better than the Pacers' seventh or eighth player does not always translate into a definitive advantage on the floor. The match will be broadcast on ABC and ESPN+ at 8:30 PM ET.
