Olivia Rodrigo carries cheese in handbag as reminder of childhood, Entertainment News
The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, 22, made the admission while speaking on Vogue's In the Bag video series, in which celebrities share the contents of their handbags.
She said about what she always carries: "I love Babybel so much. I love eating it and I love playing with the wax and making wax statues out of it."
Olivia, who brought a vintage cheetah-print Fendi bag to the Vogue shoot, said she regularly travels with a Babybel cheese tucked inside.
She also explained that the snack wasn't just about taste — it was a nostalgic habit that brought her closer to friends.
"My friends make fun of me for it, especially this one because they think it's particularly elementary," she said.
Olivia added: "We would trade each other little statues that we made out of (the red wax covering). I don't even remember what we made — we must have been really creative because this is not very malleable. I always keep that locked and loaded."
The Vampire singer's bag also contained more typical items, including a wide-brimmed hat, over-the-ear Bluetooth headphones, a Lâncome Juicy Tube lip gloss attached to her keys, playing cards, a tea bag, a journal, sunglasses and various makeup products.
Olivia has become known for her mix of classic and contemporary style and her love of vintage handbags.
On April 25, she was photographed carrying Chanel's Nubuck Natural Beauty Tote Bag in black suede, dating back to 2012, while out in New York City.
She paired the accessory with a sleeveless black shirt, khaki trousers and black-and-white Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Canvas Low Top Sneakers.
The day before, Olivia attended the Planned Parenthood Gala, where she received the 2025 Catalyst of Change award for her advocacy on reproductive rights.
At the event, she wore Gucci's Horsebit gown in ivory, accessorised with a custom reflective silver version of the brand's Bamboo Night Small Glossed-Leather Shoulder Bag.

Sophie Turner says filming intimate scenes with Kit Harington in The Dreadful was 'vile', Entertainment News
Sophie Turner and Kit Harington were "retching" through their intimate scenes in The Dreadful. The pair - who first starred together as half-siblings Sansa Stark and Jon Snow in eight seasons of Game of Thrones between 2019 and 2019 - appear together in the upcoming gothic horror. While they were both excited about the project, Kit's fears that their romantic scenes would be "weird" for them to film proved to be true. Speaking on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Sophie said: "I'd just got the script for this amazing gothic horror called The Dreadful, and I was reading through all the characters. "And I'm producing it, so the director was asking me, 'Who do you think?' And immediately, the first person I thought of was Kit. "And so, I sent the script to Kit, and he kind of sent me a message back going like, 'Yeah, I'd love to, but this is going to be really f***ing weird, Soph.' And I was like, what is he talking about? "Then I was reading it, and I'm like, 'Kiss, kiss, sex, kiss, sex scene.' And then I'm like, oh shoot, that's my brother. But it's such a good script that he's like, 'We kind of have to do it.' "So, then we put it out of our minds, and then we got on set, and it was the first kissing scene. And we were both retching, like really, it is vile. It was the worst, another really bad moment in my career." The 29-year-old actress previously acknowledged that viewers would probably find it "weird" to see her and Kit play lovers. Speaking in a video interview with Vogue, she said: "I did a movie last year which I'm really excited about with my old but very good friend Kit Harington, who played my brother on Game of Thrones. [[nid:718041]] "We're doing a gothic horror… but we play lovers." Sophie then grimaced as she apologised to viewers. She said: "Sorry, guys. It's really weird for all of us." Game of Thrones featured incestuous relationships and Sophie had previously teased "things could happen" between Sansa and Jon, particularly after his true parentage was revealed, but she admitted she would find it awkward. Speaking in 2016, she told Access Hollywood: "Things could happen, things couldn't happen. They are cousins and it is Game of Thrones. "I could not do that with Kit. There's no way I could do those kind of scenes with Kit- I'd laugh way too much."

The Irish actor stars in The Naked Gun, a reboot of the crime procedural spoof trilogy that was a hit in the 1980s and 1990s, thanks to its lead actor, the late Leslie Nielsen. The last Naked Gun instalment was Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult in 1994. Neeson is gruff detective Frank Drebin Jr, son of Nielsen's character Frank Drebin and the only person who can save the world from evil billionaire Richard Cane's (Danny Huston) dastardly plans of world domination. Joining Neeson in the comedy fest is Pamela Anderson, as blonde bombshell Beth Davenport, who asks Drebin Jr to investigate her brother's murder. Apart from visual buffoonery and slapstick comedy, the sizzling chemistry between Neeson and Anderson adds to the fun. The actors also continued their lovey-dovey antics at the movie's recent promotional events. According to US entertainment sites People and Us Weekly, the actors are reportedly dating in real life after falling for each other on set. Lee Soo Man: King Of K-pop Prime Video Top stories Swipe.

Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce namedrops 'scorching hot' Singapore
It has been more than a year since American football star Travis Kelce was in Singapore to attend his girlfriend Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour concerts at the National Stadium in March 2024, but the nation's heat and humidity is still on his mind. In a cover story interview with GQ for the US magazine's September issue, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end praised the American pop superstar for having the endurance and stamina of an athlete. "She may not think of herself as 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," he said. He shared the tough conditions Swift, 35, had to endure during her global The Eras Tour, comprising 149 sell-out concerts that ran from March 17, 2023, to Dec 8, 2024. Kelce, 35, zeroed in on her six shows in Singapore. Not only did she brave the heat generated by electronic equipment beneath the massive stage floor, but she also had to put up with the punishing weather. "The Eras Tour floor is literally a football field-sized computer. You take that into Singapore, where it is scorching hot, and all of a sudden you're feeling the fumes from the computer and you're feeling the fumes from the sun, and you're doing a show for three hours with a lot of energy, bringing it every single song," he said. "That is arguably more exhausting than how much I put in on a Sunday, and she's doing it three, four, five days in a row." This is not the first time Kelce has commented on Singapore's heat. In the March 13, 2024, episode of Kelce and his brother Jason's New Heights podcast, Kelce gave a glowing review of his visit between March 7 and 9, calling the city-state high-tech and futuristic, exceedingly well-planned-out and more interesting to him than Sydney, Australia, where he also travelled to for The Eras Tour. He also made nods to the diverse cuisine and the 38 deg C temperatures. In the same interview, Kelce gushed about the couple's relationship and how he is the "happiest guy in the world" since they started dating in 2023. He said they could relate to each other, revealing how they have a lot in common, such as entertaining sold-out stadiums. "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. That was very relatable, seeing how exhausted she would get after shows." He also stressed that their romance is not a publicity stunt. "Whenever I'm with her, it feels like we're just regular people. We're just two people who are in love," Kelce said, adding that their relationship happened very organically. Meanwhile, the celebrity couple look set to break records together in the days to come. A teaser clip from Swift's upcoming highly anticipated guest-starring episode of New Heights, featuring the Grammy-winning singer's surprise reveal of her new 12th studio album The Life Of A Showgirl, was posted on Aug 12. It became her most-viewed Instagram reel ever, garnering more than 130 million views in less than 24 hours. It has since received over 168 million views and 5.1 million "likes". The full podcast episode will be released on Aug 13, marking Swift's debut podcast interview and their inaugural joint interview appearance.
