MGK Addresses Sydney Sweeney Dating Rumors, Says He Definitely Wants a Collab With an Iconic Boy Band
Asked if there was any truth to the rumor that he and Euphoria star Sydney Sweeney were 'more than just friends,' Kelly looked straight at the camera, shook his head and smiled, 'Kyle P… shut up dude.'

You'd think that Kelly would be content when it comes to dream collaboration wish-fulfillment, given that none other than Bob Dylan provided the voice-over for the Lost Americana trailer. But another fan question spurred MGK to reveal that he has another unexpected name on his to-do list.
Asked if he could collab with any musician, living or dead, who he has not yet gotten in the studio with, MGK first went with late crooner Frank Sinatra. 'I like Frank,' MGK said, before noting that he's me AJ McLean from the Backstreet Boys before and considered asking them if he could hop on stage with the boy band during one of their shows at Las Vegas' Sphere. ''Let me hop in on the '[Everybody]Backstreet's Back' dance or something,'' he thought about asking.
Why didn't it happen? 'Because I never sent a message or something,' Kelly admitted about his failure to get in on the BSB shows at the Sphere, which kicked off last month and include another run of gigs this weekend (Aug. 15-17).
During a round of 'Textual Behavior,' MGK also confirmed that he doesn't have a finsta account, but is intrigued by them, while fully suggesting, Mariah-like, that he doesn't know if his chronological age even 'exists' or, if he's being honest, have much information about his life.
'Like if my skin rips open it heals really quick,' he said cryptically. Asked if he might have some 'otherworldly' qualities, Kelly said he did ask his mom one time if she recalled going 'missing' at any point or if a 'tall, slender creature' ever visited her, casually mentioning that his mother did once say she thought she'd been abducted by extraterrestrials.

Lana Del Rey Joins Adele In A Historic Chart Feat
Lana Del Rey has been teasing her upcoming album for more than a year now, but details about the project remain scarce. The singer-songwriter has mentioned multiple titles and then changed her mind with all of them. She also at first claimed that it would be a country record, and then decided it would be more in the vein of an American Gothic vibe. Several singles have emerged and even charted, but for the moment, fans still don't know what the project is called or when they'll get to hear the full-length. As they wait to learn more, Americans are continuously consuming Born to Die, Del Rey's breakout project. Well over a decade after its release, the title can still be found on multiple Billboard charts, and this week it hits a major milestone. Born to Die Reaches a Billboard 200 Milestone Born to Die dips two spots on the Billboard 200, landing at No. 117. The title, which Luminate reports moved another 11,400 equivalent units during the most recent tracking period, celebrates 600 weeks on the Billboard 200, the company's ranking of the biggest albums and EPs in the U.S. Lana Del Rey Joins Adele Only 18 albums have spent at least 600 weeks on the Billboard 200. Born to Die is just the second by a solo female artist to make it to that landmark figure. Del Rey comes in behind Adele's 21, which racked up 617 stays on the tally. Unlike Born to Die, however, 21 doesn't regularly appear on the Billboard 200, so in the coming months, Del Rey may pass Adele's globe-dominating full-length. Pink Floyd Continues to Lead The record for the longest stay on the Billboard 200 is still held by Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. That title only needs 10 more stints on the list before it becomes the first 1,000-week charter. Next time around, when Billboard publishes its rankings again, Legend by Bob Marley and the Wailers will likely become only the second 900-week winner ever. Lana Del Rey Rises on Multiple Billboard Charts As Born to Die hits an incredible figure on the Billboard 200, the title climbs on the other two Billboard rankings where it can be found. Del Rey's breakout set lifts one spot to No. 13 on the Top Alternative Albums chart and three spaces to No. 27 on the Top Rock & Alternative Albums tally.

Andy Reid And Patrick Mahomes React To Taylor Swift Appearing On Travis Kelce's Podcast
When Taylor Swift appears with her partner, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, on the podcast he co-hosts with his brother, Jason, it's likely to shatter ratings records. But Chiefs head coach Andy Reid had a more wry take. 'I'm like really old,' the 67-year-old Reid said, jokingly. 'My grandkids will be all over it.' Reid, who previously was the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, had actually met Swift, a Pennsylvania native who comes from a family of Eagles fans, prior to her meeting Kelce. He praised her relationship with the Pro Bowl tight end. 'It's a neat deal,' he said. 'I'm happy for them. Both of them like each other, and what a plus that is. They care about each other, and I think that's the most important thing. The older you get, you want these guys to have somebody they can settle down with and that whole deal.' Swift is slated to discuss the drop of her 12th album called 'The Life of a Showgirl' on New Heights with Jason & Travis, which will be released at 7 p.m. EST. Since the podcast's debut in 2022, it has been a rating hit, capitalizing on the rapport between the brothers, whose respective teams faced off in Super Bowl LVII in the first year of the podcast. The MVP of Super Bowl LVII — along with Super Bowl LIX and Super Bowl LVIII — Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes has guest starred on it. With the Chiefs having a day off from practice on Thursday as they travel for Friday night's preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks, Mahomes said he looked forward to listening to the podcast on Wednesday night. 'I'm obviously super excited, just knowing Taylor and seeing the process from just a little bit closer of how she makes the albums. It's going to be amazing because of how much work she puts into it,' Mahomes said. 'What better place to announce it than the New Heights podcast.' It's a big week for Kelce, who also appears on the cover of GQ. In the in-depth cover story, he discusses his relationship with Swift. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out,' he told GQ. 'We are two fun-loving people who have the morals to appreciate everyone for who they are. We share all those values.' Kelce, who trained in South Florida this offseason while shedding noticeable weight to get in shape for the 2025 NFL season, went to the Everglades for the GQ photo shoot and held snakes and alligators. Though Mahomes said the photos turned out well, the quarterback emphatically stated he would never attempt something like that. 'I would 100 % not,' Mahomes said. 'Even in the Everglades in general, it's just not my spot.' Reid had another amusing response. 'It's great to be young,' he said. 'I'm not sure who was madder: Travis or the alligator.'

Travis Kelce is about that swamp life. See him go full Florida Man in Miami
Travis Kelce is in full Florida Man mode in the latest issue of GQ magazine, and we are so here for it. Fans used to seeing the Kansas City Chiefs star all suited up for football games or a night out with gf Taylor Swift may do a double take at the (literally) wild spread. In the wide ranging article called 'America's Sweetheart,' the tight end was shot in his temporary home of South Florida, where he trained in the off season. GQ really went for it, taking their cover star out to the middle of the swamp. In one picture, Kelce's seen decked out in fur, looking like a dapper trapper extraordinaire, riding an airboat. In other shots, he gets up close and personal with such Everglades residents as an alligator (cradled in his arms) and a python (wrapped around his neck). Other more tame locations for the shoot included Marine Stadium Marina on Virginia Key, where Kelce tried out flyboarding, shooting into the air over Biscayne Bay all while wearing a jacket by Burberry, the mag notes. Perhaps all the sunshine and water (and reptiles) loosened Kelce up. He really opened up to writer Sean Manning, answering a few burning questions about his famous galpal of two years. It's apparently a mutual admiration society kind of situation. 'I get to be the plus one,' the three-time Super Bowl champ said of the pop star. 'I get to go and be that fan. Because I am a fan.' The baller's also pleased to see Swift show interest in his sports career and loves seeing her root him on from the VIP box. 'It's so cool that I get to experience her being that plus one for me on the football field…. I feel that same enjoyment every time she comes to my shows.' Kelce think he knows the reason they just work. Though in totally different fields, the 35 year olds have more in common than you'd think. 'I hadn't experienced somebody in the same shoes as me, having a partner who understands the scrutiny, understands the ups and downs of being in front of millions,' the 'New Heights' podcaster said. 'That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows. She may not think of herself as an athlete. She will never tell anyone that she is an athlete. But I've seen what she goes through. I've seen the amount of work that she puts on her body, and it's mind-blowing.' As for the paparazzi that follow their every move? Behind closed doors, these two lovebirds are just like any other couple (really). 'Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people,' the NFL vet said. 'When there is not a camera on us, we're just two people that are in love. It can be perceived as something else because of how much it is talked about and how much we are tracked whenever we do go out, but [it] still happened very organically.' Sorry, folks. After reading through the entire piece, we are still in the dark if a proposal is in the works. But it sounds as if things are copacetic right now, at least for Kelce: 'I love being the happiest guy in the world all the f--ing time.'
