Machine Gun Kelly Addresses Sydney Sweeney Dating Rumors After Recent PDA Moment
During an appearance on the Sunday, August 10, episode of Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen, MGK, whose real name is Colson Baker, was asked point-blank about his relationship with Sweeney, 27.
Andy Cohen read from a question card that contained a viewer query from 'Kyle P.' The TV host said, 'MGK, Kyle P wants to know if there's any truth to the rumor that you and Sydney Sweeney were more than just friends.'
MGK, 35, responded while shaking his head and looking directly down the camera barrel, 'Kyle P, shut up, dude,' at which Cohen and the audience laughed loudly.

In May, photos published by Page Six showed the musician and Sweeney hugging at a Las Vegas club opening. Later that month, MGK shared an Instagram carousel that included a snap of himself posing alongside Sweeney as they flashed peace signs at the camera. (Patrick Schwarzenegger and Hollywood hair stylist Glen Oropeza were also in the snap.)
An Instagram Story shared by Sweeney at the time, published by the outlet, also featured a photo of herself posing with Schwarzenegger, 31, and MGK at the Vegas event.
Both MGK and Sweeney are currently single after the musician's split from Megan Fox was confirmed by Us Weekly in December 2024, and Sweeney's engagement to Jonathan Davino was called off in May. (MGK shares a daughter, Saga, 4 months, with Fox, 39, in addition to daughter Casie, 16, whom he shares with ex Emma Cannon.)
MGK and Sweeney have been friends for years, with Sweeney starring in MGK's 2021 directorial debut, Downfalls High. The pair also appeared in the 2019 film Big Time Adolescence alongside MGK's close friend Pete Davidson.
MGK's appearance on WWHL also saw an audience member ask him who his dream musical collaboration would be, living or dead, to which he responded, ' I like Frank, man, Frank Sinatra. I'll do that.'

He was also asked by Cohen about how age, which garnered an interesting response from MGK: 'It's a weird thing, dude, I don't know if it exists.'
Cohen likened MGK's 'connection to' his age to that of Mariah Carey, who told Harper's Bazaar in July that she doesn't 'allow' herself to age, which drew MGK to say, 'I just don't know many facts about my life, so I'm starting to just be like, like, my skin, if it just rips open, it heals really quick, there's just things where I'm starting to be, like, who's my dad, you know?'
Hinting that he may have otherworldly origins, MGK noted that he once asked his mother if there was any 'period of time where you went missing,' which provided an unusual answer.
'She told me she got abducted at one point so I was just, like,' MGK said with a shrug.

From otters to sourdough, everything we learned about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's romance on the 'New Heights' podcast
Swift appeared on the Aug. 13 episode of 'New Heights' alongside Kelce and his brother, Jason. They're not fighting the alchemy. Taylor Swift appeared on boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights to talk about her new album The Life of a Showgirl, and over the course of the episode, also gave fans major insight into their relationship of more than two years. This is the first time that Swift has appeared on New Heights, which Kelce hosts with his brother Jason. But it's not surprising that Swift and Kelce flaunted their love on the mic: the two have hardly been shy about how much they care for each other, with plenty of paparazzi photos documenting their PDA at events like the U.S. Open and the Super Bowl. Just this week, Kelce gushed over his girlfriend in an interview for GQ. Swift, meanwhile, has brought Kelce into the fold on the Eras Tour, shouting him out as 'the guy on the Chiefs' in her song 'Karma' and even performing alongside him for a special version of 'I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.' Yet the New Heights podcast — the most-watched in the podcast's history at 10 million views on YouTube alone — gave nearly two hours of Swelce content, revealing more about their relationship than ever before. Here's what we learned: The friendship bracelet saga Swift and Kelce's romance began after the NFL player attended the Kansas City stop of the Eras Tour in July 2023. Kelce was enamored with Swift following her performance, and was disappointed that he couldn't meet up with her after the show in order to give her a friendship bracelet he made her — something he spoke about on New Heights back in July 2023. On her episode of New Heights, Swift teased that Kelce 'threw a tantrum' — despite not even reaching out to her management about securing a meeting. 'This dude didn't get a meet and greet and he's making it everyone's problem, that's what I thought at first,' Swift joked. But after the podcast aired, Swift said she started hearing from mutual friends that Kelce was actually a good guy, prompting her to schedule a meetup. 'I was like, if this guy isn't crazy — which is a big if,' she said, 'this is sort of what I've been writing songs about wanting to happen to me since I was a teenager.' Kelce supported Swift when she got her masters back On New Heights, Swift spoke about her long journey to gain ownership over her masters, something that she's wanted for her entire music career. When she received the phone call from her mother Andrea Swift that said she was finally able to purchase her masters, Swift went to Kelce crying. Kelce, apparently, also had an emotional reaction. 'I started crying, too,' Kelce said on the podcast, to which Swift added, 'You were weeping.' 'I was just so happy for you, because I've seen, I've seen how you make music. I've seen how you make these videos,' he explained. Swift loves to bake for Kelce — and the whole family Swift joked that she gets into a new baking obsession 'every six months' — and that the Kelce family reaps the benefits. She sent Kelce sourdough loafs while the athlete was at training camp, and also made a funfetti sourdough bread for Kelce's brother and New Heights co-host Jason Kelce's four daughters. 'We put sprinkles in everything when we hang out,' Swift said. 'She's a loafer for life now,' Kelce joked. Kelce loves otters The couple admitted that the internet can be a tough place, given how many people want to weigh in on their lives — but it's also a beautiful one, because 'Travis shows me videos of otters on his Instagram algorithm,' Swift said. 'I want a wild otter so bad,' Kelce said. Kelce's heard the 'bangers' on Unsurprisingly, Kelce has already heard The Life of a Showgirl, and loves the new album, which he called a 'complete 180' from a lot of the songs on her previous album The Tortured Poets Department. 'I've been fortunate enough to hear every single song on here, so I know they're all 12 bangers,' he said. 'It's a lot more upbeat, and it's a lot more like fun pop, like excitement.' Swift and Kelce tune out the noise around their relationship While many people have commented — and speculated — about the state of her and Kelce's romance, Swift told Jason on the podcast that she tries to stay tuned out of the noise online. 'Anything you feed your brain, it will internalize,' Swift said. 'Anything you feed the internet, it will kill. I've been in the music industry for 20 years — it's pretty hard to hurt my feelings.' Kelce admitted he was worried about some of the 'wacko theories' that emerged when they first started dating, and was concerned it could 'screw up' his romance with Swift. 'Her being so calm, cool, collected and so just real and understanding about everything that's going on really made me grow up real fast in that, in that aspect of things,' he said. Swift also shared that Kelce's ability to laugh off comments online has helped her shake them off, too. 'I think the fact that you genuinely find a lot of online discourse to be truly hilarious, that changes things for me,' she said. 'If he's seeing things and he thinks it's funny and it doesn't even affect his day at all, that's really completely bled into the way that I metabolize these things.' Solve the daily Crossword

The 15 Best Genre Movies of Summer 2025 (and Where to Watch Them)
A few short weeks remain in the 2025 summer movie season, and we have to say, it's been a pretty great one. Lots of the big blockbusters really delivered. Lots of smaller films came out of nowhere to surprise us. And even a few streaming titles made their mark. Below, we've got our choices for the 15 best genre movies released during the summer of 2025, from the first weekend in May through the end of August. Spoiler: this is the only Marvel movie on this list. Not that we disliked Fantastic Four—it's actually pretty fun—but Thunderbolts offered us a more exciting ride, with an incredible cast of characters and a much, much better tease toward the future. Thunderbolts is now available on digital download and Blu-ray. It'll hit Disney+ on August 27. There's something to be said about a movie that just gives you exactly what it promises, does it well, and does it right. That's Clown in a Cornfield. Read our review here. Clown in a Cornfield is streaming on Shudder. Together is almost an incredible movie. Instead, it's just a really, really good, gross movie about two people who get infected with something that keeps forcing them together. Great performances, interesting relationship dynamics, and a killer ending. It's missing a little something to put it over the top, but it is still well worth seeing. Together is now in theaters and will be streaming later this year. Yup, I threw a documentary at you. This summer marked the 50th anniversary of one of the best genre movies ever, the killer shark film Jaws, and this documentary diving into seemingly every aspect of its development, production, and reception is just a joy to watch. Read our interview with the film's director here. (And while it's not exactly genre-focused, if you want another great doc from this summer, Pee-wee as Himself on HBO Max is masterful.) Jaws @ 50 is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu. The 2023 horror film Talk to Me was absolutely amazing, and its directors, Danny and Michael Philippou, followed it up with this, not quite as good, but somehow even more disturbing horror tale. Sally Hawkins gives a chilling lead performance in a film that features the most horrifying visuals of the year. Bring Her Back is now available for digital download or rental. If you were wondering, 'How can io9 do a list of best genre films of the summer when the summer isn't over yet?' here's the answer. We've seen the last major one, coming to theaters later this month, and it's a doozy. Gory, hilarious, and a fine homage to the Troma films that inspired it. Read our review here. The Toxic Avenger comes to theaters August 29. If How to Train Your Dragon was something we saw for the first time this summer, it would easily be the top movie on this list. The original is incredible. However, this 'incredible' movie is just that movie again, in live action, so while it's really wonderful, it drops a little bit down the list. Read our review here. How to Train Your Dragon is currently available for digital download or rental. Elio may have been one of the biggest box office bombs of the summer, but it's not for lack of quality. The film itself is a funny, heartfelt, stunningly beautiful adventure that's right up there with Pixar's best recent output. So, it's not Wall-E or anything, but it's certainly on par with Turning Red, Soul, etc. Read our review. Elio will be available digitally on August 19. When Oscar winner Danny Boyle and legendary writer Alex Garland teamed back up to return to the franchise they put on the map, you knew it had to be good. And it was. 28 Years Later is an intense, heartbreaking piece of worldbuilding with lots of action, emotion, and massive penises. We can't believe we only have to wait a few more months for its sequel. Read our review here. 28 Years Later is now available for digital download and rental. Arguably, the biggest hit, and surprise, of the summer was on Netflix. Who could've guessed? This tale of a K-Pop band that protects the universe from evil is not only fun and funny, but it's also got some of the catchiest movie music in recent memory. It loses a little steam towards the end, but no matter. It's still a blast. KPop Demon Hunters can be streamed on Netflix. The sixth film in a franchise is rarely the best film in a franchise, but that's exactly what Final Destination Bloodlines is. Telling a big, sweeping story that connects the entire series, directors Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein brought an unfathomably wild set of kills to the film, making it scary and gross but also a complete blast to watch. Here's our review. Final Destination Bloodlines is currently streaming on HBO Max. James Gunn did it. He was able to bring Superman back in a big, big way with a film that's as massive as the character demands but also weird and off the rails in ways we never expected. It's the best superhero movie of the summer. Read our review here. Superman is still in theaters and arrives on digital Friday. Perfect timing! The best horror movie of the summer follows a town broken when a classroom of kids mysteriously goes missing in the night. What happens next has to be seen to be believed and, we think, will be watched and discussed over and over again. Read our review here. Weapons is currently in theaters and is likely to hit streaming later this year. Even before director Dan Trachtenberg added on an even better, more exciting end credit scene to the already awesome one he had, Predator: Killer of Killers was a winner. You just haven't lived until you've seen Predators fight across the centuries. Read our review here. Predator: Killer of Killers is streaming on Hulu. This is my list, and I'll do what I want. That's why, while it's not technically a straight genre film, I just have to call out one extra movie. It's Heads of State, the John Cena/Idris Elba movie that premiered this year on Prime Video. This rather straightforward action film is so much fun, I couldn't believe it. Light-years ahead of most films that premiere on streaming. Watch it here. And now… And yet, among all the superheroes, the killer animation, and the terrifying horror, it's a not-so-simple movie about a simple man's life that stands ahead of the rest. Mike Flanagan's adaptation of the Stephen King short story is so fresh, optimistic, and rewatchable that we haven't stopped thinking about it since we saw it. If you missed it in theaters, see it as soon as you can. You won't be disappointed. Our review is here. The Life of Chuck is now available for digital download and rental. Want more io9 news?

Bonkers Red-Band Trailer For DC's PEACEMAKER Season 2 Delivers Bloody Mayhem — GeekTyrant
HBO Max has unleashed the red-band trailer for Peacemaker Season 2, and it's just as chaotic, violent, and unfiltered as fans could've hoped for. With the series set to return next week, this trailer gives us a clear look at where things are headed, and it looks absolutely bonkers! From an eye-gouging Eagly bird attack to multiversal madness, James Gunn is clearly upping the stakes as the show transitions fully into the new DC Universe. The trailer wastes no time going full throttle. There's a heavy dose of bloody violence, and there's even an orgy thrown into the mix, because of course there is, along with a Lex Luthor name drop that suggests some major DC players are creeping into the storyline. The season teases a trip into a strange new world where things are just a bit... off. There's a version of Peacemaker who's famous, emotionally stable, and in love with Emilia Harcourt . Whether this is a parallel universe, an illusion, or something even crazier remains to be seen. We also get a glimpse of Rick Flag Sr. , played by Frank Grillo, who's clearly looking for revenge after his son's death in The Suicide Squad . The guy seems pissed — and likely dangerous. James Gunn confirmed that Season 2 will have a direct tie-in with Superman , the upcoming DCU film. 'You've seen what we call the QUC, the Quantum Unfolding Chamber, in the first season of Peacemaker , and we see more about that technology in Superman ,' said Gunn. 'The QUC is the center of the story in Peacemaker season 2.' He added, 'We see a lot of different characters from Superman in the [season], [including] Isabela and Nathan and Sean, and then we see a bunch of other characters later on in the season from other parts of the DCU and from Superman .' He even teased that, 'There might even be one really, really, really big cameo near the end of the show.' That last comment has fans speculating, especially since the final few episodes weren't sent to critics, just like Season 1, which famously featured surprise cameos from Aquaman and The Flash. Critics were given five of the eight episodes ahead of the premiere, and the social media and review embargo lifts tomorrow. That's when we'll get the first wave of reactions to see if Peacemaker can keep DC Studios' current hot streak going, following the success of Creature Commandos and Superman . Peacemaker season 2 follows Christopher 'Chris' Smith, aka Peacemaker, the vigilante superhero, as he struggles to reconcile his past with his newfound sense of purpose while continuing to kick righteous evildoer butt in his misguided quest for peace at any cost. He discovers an alternate world where life is everything he wishes it could be. But this discovery also forces him to face his traumatic past and take the future into his own hands. This second batch of episodes will star Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, Sol Rodríguez, David Denman, Brey Noelle, and Tim Meadows. Gunn wrote all eight episodes of Peacemaker and directed three, including the first episode. The second season of Peacemaker officially premieres August 21, 2025, on HBO Max.
