Normani engaged to DK Metcalf
Normani has got engaged. The 'Wild Side' singer is set to marry sportsman DK Metcalf, with the wide receiver revealing the news when he described the former Fifth Harmony star as his fiancee while celebrating his trade to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the 2025 NFL Draft. In a video posted on Instagram, the 27-year-old footballer said: 'Shoutout to my beautiful fiancée for being here with me. Can't wait to step onto the field with the rest of the Black and Gold Nation.' The post also included two photos of the pair posing alongside a Steelers helmet, with Normani offering a brief glimpse of her ring. And during a press conference, DK - whose real name is DeKaylin Zecharius Metcalf - showed off his partner's sparkler, urging her to "hold that rock up, baby". The former Seattle Seahawks player revealed he had popped the question in front of both of their families. He said: 'My family and her family was in Houston. "It was my sister's spring break and [I] just thought about getting the whole family together for a big kumbaya and joining our families with a ring.' The 28-year-old singer confirmed her relationship with DK on Instagram in July 2023, and later revealed they had been introduced by Ciara and her husband, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson. She told Apple Music: 'We actually met through Ciara and Russ. If you could trust a couple [to set you up], that would be the couple.' Meawhile, Normani previously praised another of her friends, Ariana Grande, for being an "incredible" source of support. She told E! News: "Ari has been such an incredible support system for me." The 'Dancing With a Stranger' singer delayed the release of her debut solo album 'Dopamine' after both of her parents were diagnosed with cancer. However, Ariana was a supportive presence throughout the difficult times. She shared: "Even just when my album came out, whatever I have released she is always one of the first to text me and just let me know how proud she really is." Normani explained her pal has "always gone above and beyond" to support her in recent years. The 'Motivation' hitmaker said: "She also knows what I've endured. "This has not been an easy process for me, but she's been there really every step of the way and has always gone above and beyond to make sure that I know how proud she is. It means a lot."

‘White Lotus' Stars Finally Open Up About Nasty Feud Rumors
The White Lotus stars Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood have reunited in an aggressive attempt to finally put rumors of an ongoing 'feud' between them to bed. In a new interview for Variety released Wednesday from an interview conducted on May 3, Goggins and Wood were resolute that 'there is no feud.' Goggins unfollowing Wood on Instagram soon after filming the show's third season sparked the initial feud rumors, but the actor is now attempting to explain why he did it. 'I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,' Goggins said. 'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f---ing ever,' he continued. He called the assumptions about the online move 'ridiculous,' as he always cuts some ties with co-stars to 'process' the experience after a project. 'I let her know, this is what I've gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.' The fictional couple had become so close off-screen during filming, as shown in their Instagram posts together at the time, that rumors of beef after the unfollow also accompanied rumors of an affair. Neither rumor has any founding, the two actors said, even as it pertains to Goggins and his other co-stars. He explained why he was absent from many of the post-season cast hangouts. 'I haven't spoken to anyone,' he said. 'I couldn't handle it. Judge me or don't. I don't give a f--- what you think. This is my process. Rick means everything to me, and Chelsea means everything to me. And so that's what I needed to do for me to process all of this,' he said. As for why she never addressed the rumors, which continued to grow louder and louder even after Goggins had an unpleasant encounter with a Times reporter, Wood said, 'Eventually I just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing.' Something was certainly made. When Goggins insisted on not discussing the rumors with The New York Times, the actor was taken aback by the response he got from his interviewer, he told Variety. 'What he was insinuating, it was so disgusting. It was so appalling. I was flabbergasted. And I said, 'F--- mate, wow. I think we're done here.' He didn't want to get into it at the time because Wood wasn't there, he said. 'What am I gonna do, speak for both of us? Never.' The rumor mill only churned harder after Goggins appeared to praise the Saturday Night Live sketch mocking Wood's teeth and intelligence. Wood slammed the 'misogynistic' sketch again in the interview. 'I know for a fact a man wrote that,' she said. For his part, Goggins told Variety he was half asleep and heading into makeup to become The Fallout's 'Ghoul' when he complimented Jon Hamm's impression of him in the taped sketch. He didn't see Wood's reaction online until hours later, after which he deleted the post. 'I've been posting for 14 f---ing years, and if I'm gonna say something, I'm gonna say it to your face,' he said Wednesday, adding he'd never 'make a vicious swipe against my friend.' To make his his affection for his former co-star as clear as possible, Goggins gushed, 'I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me... She's special. There is no feud. She is love and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' With that, he concluded, 'Hopefully that answers everybody's questions.'

Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is congratulated in the dugout after hitting a solo home run in the seventh inning of a baseball game against the New York Mets, Monday, June 2, 2025, in Los Angeles. (AP Photo/Jayne Kamin-Oncea) LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and his wife have gifted Shohei Ohtani's baby daughter with a pink toy Porsche. Ohtani posted a video of him, Roberts and the toy car on his Instagram account. Advertisement 'We had a little running practical-joke situation going on,' Roberts said Wednesday, 'but this was a gift for the baby.' Last May, Roberts joked that Ohtani should give him a Porsche when the slugger broke the Dodgers record for most home runs by a Japanese player. Ohtani obliged, gifting a purple toy model Porsche for Roberts' office. In breaking the record, Ohtani surpassed the mark set by Roberts, who was born in Japan, during his playing days. Ohtani went slightly bigger in March, when he left another toy Porsche in Roberts' parking space at Camelback Ranch in Arizona. Ohtani gifted Ashley Kelly, wife of Dodgers pitcher Joe Kelly, a Porsche for her husband giving up his No. 17 when Ohtani signed with the Dodgers in December 2023. Advertisement Ohtani's first child was born on April 19. He and his wife, Mamiko Tanaka, have not revealed the baby's name or any other information in keeping with Ohtani's penchant for privacy. Ohtani's reaction to the gift from Roberts and his wife Tricia? 'He was very grateful,' Roberts said. ___ AP MLB:

Rock and Roll Yard Sale finds new home in Providence's West End
PROVIDENCE (WPRI) — Providence's beloved Rock and Roll Yard Sale, an open-air market and neighborhood block party, will return this Saturday in the city's West End. The event will be held from noon to 5 p.m. on West Fountain Street, with new sponsors Moniker Brewery and the West Broadway Neighborhood Association. It will feature live music, food, vintage dealers, records, and other interesting creations from local makers. 'It should be fun. It's a unique event,' Jennifer Daltry told 12 News. 'There are a lot of events that are either vintage focused or makers focused, and ours kind of has a good mix of all of it.' Organizers Chris and Jennifer Daltry, who own the online retail shop What Cheer? Records + Vintage, have been putting on the event since 2003. 'We were just thinking about how there really isn't anything like this in Providence, and maybe we could create something like this,' Jennifer Daltry said. PVDFest returns Sept. 5-6: Here's what's in store Over the past 22 years, they've seen the event go from humble beginnings at AS220 to its most recent incarnation on Westminster Street that annually drew thousands to downtown Providence. Earlier this year, the Rock and Roll Yard Sale appeared to be in jeopardy after the couple learned that the event's main sponsor no longer wanted to support it. They credit a social media post highlighting their dilemma with bringing them both a new sponsor and a new neighborhood to embrace. 'People reached out, including Moniker,' Jennifer Daltry said. 'We started to have meetings with Moniker. They brought in West Broadway Neighborhood Association, and it grew from there.' 'It's been a really good collaboration this time around with the West Broadway Neighborhood Association stepping in to help out and create kind of a neighborhood party,' Chris Daltry said. 'It feels like a good fit.' You can find more information about the Rock and Roll Yard Sale both on Facebook and Instagram. Download the and apps to get breaking news and weather alerts.
