Timothee Chalamet Posts Cryptic Message After Knicks' Loss
The Boston Celtics won Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, defeating the New York Knicks 127-102 at TD Garden in Boston on Wednesday night.
Even without their star player, Jayson Tatum, the Celtics dominated Game 5 with a strong performance win over the Knicks. Celtics guard Derrick White scored 34 points, while guard Jaylen Brown added 26 points with 12 assists for New York.

But if anyone took the loss worse than the Knicks themselves, it had to be actor Timothée Chalamet.
Chalamet, who was seen courtside at TD Garden on Wednesday, posted a strong but short message on his Instagram story after the game was over.
"6", the actor wrote on his Instagram story with a black screen.
Despite the Knicks' loss, he still believes that the Knicks will win a best-of-seven playoff series in exactly six games.
The Manhattan native has been a devoted Knicks fan since his youth. Over the years, Chalamet has frequently attended games at Madison Square Garden, often seen alongside celebrities like Spike Lee and Ben Stiller.

During the 2025 season, Chalamet's presence was very notable. He sat courtside at the Knicks vs Memphis Grizzlies game on January 27, where Karl-Anthony Towns gifted him a game-worn jersey. Plus, he even skipped this year's Met Gala to watch Game 1 of the Eastern Conference semifinals with some friends.

On Monday, the "Dune" actor was seen sitting courtside in MSG's celebrity row with his girlfriend Kylie Jenner, and her sister Kendall Jenner, cheering on the Knicks during their 121-113 win in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
The Knicks still lead the Eastern Conference Semifinals 3–2 over the Celtics. Game 6 will take place on Friday, back at Madison Square Garden in New York City. If necessary, Game 7 will take place on Monday.

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex shares rare photos of Lilibet in birthday post
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex has shared rare photos of her daughter, Lilibet, to mark the princess' fourth birthday. In one black-and-white picture, posted on Instagram on Wednesday, Meghan can be seen cuddling Lilibet, whose face is partially visible behind her mother's hand and arm. 'Happy birthday to our beautiful girl! Four years ago today she came into our lives – and each day is brighter and better because of it. Thanks to all of those sending love and celebrating her special day,' wrote Meghan in the caption. A second photo in the post shows Meghan cradling Lilibet, whose face is visible in profile, shortly after her birth. The princess was born on June 4, 2021, a year after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped back from their roles as senior royals and moved to the United States. Meghan and husband Prince Harry are known to fiercely guard the privacy of Lilibet and older brother Prince Archie, 6. The couple did release a Christmas card last year that featured a rare photo of both children, but their backs are to the camera as they run towards their parents. Five other images appeared on the card, all depicting engagements from the year. It marked the first time since 2021 that Harry and Meghan released a Christmas card featuring their children. In April, Meghan revealed that she had suffered from postpartum preeclampsia, calling the potentially fatal condition 'so rare and so scary.' 'The world doesn't know what's happening quietly,' Meghan said on the debut episode of her 'Confessions of a Female Founder' podcast. 'And in the quiet, you're still trying to show up for people… mostly for your children, but those things are huge medical scares.' Most cases of postpartum preeclampsia develop within 48 hours of childbirth, but it can develop four to six weeks postpartum, according to the Mayo Clinic. Postpartum preeclampsia can cause seizures and other serious complications if left untreated. CNN's Issy Ronald contributed to this report.

Part toy, part fashion, the arrival of the viral Labubu was a long time in the making
Labubu, the plush toy from China's Pop Mart is a social media darling, but the toothy little monsters are far from an overnight success. Having appeared a decade ago, Labubus may have finally cemented their place in the collectible toy market for years to come. The Labubu, by artist and illustrator Kasing Lung, first appeared with pointed ears and pointy teeth, in three picture books inspired by Nordic mythology in 2015. In 2019 Lung struck a deal with Pop Mart, a company that caters to toy connoisseurs and influencers, to sell Labubu figurines. But it wasn't until Pop Mart started selling Labubu plush toys on key rings in 2023 that the toothy monsters suddenly seemed to be everywhere, including in the hands of Rihanna, Kim Kardashian and NBA star Dillon Brooks. K-pop singer Lisa of Blackpink began posting images of hers for her more than 100 million followers on Instagram and on TikTok, where Labubu pandemonium has broken out. There are 1.4 million #Labubu TikTok posts and counting, videos of fans unboxing them, showing styles inspired by them, and of course, Labubu cosplay. Fans have latched on to Labubu's mashup of play and fashion, making them accessories on handbags, backpacks and belts, or hanging them from car mirrors. 'The character has evolved into a collectible and style symbol, resonating with fans who connect with its quirky aesthetic and unique backstory,' Emily Brough, Popmart's head of IP licensing in the Americas, said. Labubu has been a bonanza for Pop Mart. Its revenue more than doubled in 2024 to 13.04 billion yuan ($1.81 billion), thanks in part to its elvish monster. Revenue from Pop Mart's plush toys soared more than 1,200% in 2024, nearly 22% of its overall revenue, according to the company's annual report. Aside from their ability to pique the interest of toy aficionados and fashionistas, Labubu latched on to the blind box phenomenon, where the purchaser doesn't know exactly which version of the plush toy they'll get. And Pop Mart made sure there is a Labubu for everyone, regardless of income. Most are priced in a wide rage between $20 and $300, with certain collaborations or limited editions priced higher, according to Brough. Unlike many toys, Labubu devotees include a large number of adults. Buyers ages 18 and over drove a year-over-year increase of more than $800 million in the U.S. toy market in 2024, according to market research firm Circana. Adult shoppers, mostly female, bought the toys for themselves. In 2025's first quarter, toy sales for those ages 18 and over rose 12% from the prior-year period. At $1.8 billion, adults also accounted for the highest spending among all age groups in the quarter. Like many retailers, Pop Mart is actively monitoring negotiations between the U.S. and just about every one of its trading partners as prices may be impacted. The situation with China is at the forefront, with President Donald Trump saying on Friday that the country 'violated' an agreement with the United States on trade talks. Right now Pop Mart, whose products are manufactured across Asia, says that it is continuously scaling production and expanding distribution across its online shop, retail stores and blind box vending machines to meet increasing demand. Short supply has led to long lines at stores and at least one physical fight at a shopping center in the United Kingdom. Pop Mart said in an Instagram post late last month that it was temporarily suspending all in-store and blind box machine sales in the U.K. Peter Shipman, head of Europe, said in a Facebook post that the company is currently working on a new method to distribute toys to stores. Resellers have become problematic and many Labubu fans are still willing to pay exorbitant price markups. Kena Flynn was at The Grove shopping center in Los Angeles recently when she stumbled upon some Labubus being sold at a kiosk. Flynn said in a TikTok on Sunday that the prices were 'really bad,' but her boyfriend bought two anyway. 'At a certain point, you can't buy them,' Flynn said in her video. 'I just want a Labubu and I cannot buy one from Pop Mart, so here we are.' Looking to keep up with the overwhelming demand, Pop Mart says it's on track for 50 more retail locations in the U.S. by the end of the year. That'll give shoppers more chances to hunt for Labubus, as Pop Mart says it's planning multiple new Labubu releases tied to seasonal moments and holidays throughout the rest of the year.

Travis Kelce has broken his silence on Taylor Swift buying back the rights to the master recordings of her first six albums. During the most recent episode of his New Heights podcast—which he cohosts with his brother, Jason Kelce—the Kansas City Chiefs tight end praised his girlfriend's announcement. Newsweek reached out to Travis Kelce's representative via email for comment.

You know him as The Big Shamrock, The Big Aristotle, The Superman, Shaqtus, The Diesel, we got him, simply Shaq." "A.K.A. the Black Kelce brother," O'Neal replied following the intro. Later on in the podcast, the 53-year-old told the brothers he had to show them something, before pulling up Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble." O'Neal and Travis Kelce lip-synced the song as Jason Kelce danced. "That's my favorite song in the world, brother," O'Neal said. "I love it." "Shout out to Tay-Tay," Travis Kelce—who has been dating Swift since 2023—said. "Just got that song back, too. Just bought all her music back, so it's finally hers too, man, I appreciate that, dog." "I love you guys," O'Neal said, to which Travis Kelce replied, "Love you, big dog."
