Kelly Stafford weighs in on Jordon Hudson-Bill Belichick relationship amid scrutiny: ‘Fair game'
Kelly Stafford, the wife of Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, has weighed in on the controversy surrounding Bill Belichick and his 24-year-old girlfriend, Jordon Hudson, after Hudson received backlash for interrupting a recent interview with the coach after a question about their relationship was asked. Stafford discussed the incident on the latest episode of her podcast, "The Morning After," where her co-host called the interruption "unacceptable." Stafford agreed. While admitting that neither Hudson nor Belichick should have to answer personal questions if they choose not to, Stafford pointed out that Hudson's activity on social media makes questions about their personal life "fair game." "You never really saw him much in the social media platform stuff, and now he's everywhere with her. Right? I do think there is a little bit of responsibility in knowing that – for her – knowing that questions are going to be asked, because they are so public with their relationship." "I think it's fair game both ways, in a way," Stafford continued. "If she doesn't want to talk about it, then they don't have to talk about it." Hudson's social media account has several photos of Belichick that rival the persona the legendary coach built for himself over the years on the football field. In October, Hudson posted a photo of the couple on a beach. Belichick was dressed as a fisherman, and Hudson as a mermaid. In March, she shared a video of the couple appearing to practice yoga on the beach. She also posted for Belichick's 73rd birthday last month, calling him her "twin flame." But it was Belichick's interview with "CBS News Sunday Morning" over the weekend to promote his new book that captured the most headlines. Hudson interrupted the interview to shut down a question about how the couple had met, and according to reports, she interrupted several times and even stormed off at one point, delaying the interview by around 30 minutes. Belichick released a statement saying he was "surprised" about getting the questions about his relationship and that when Hudson had stepped in, she had been doing her job. He went on to accuse CBS of creating a "false narrative" with so-called "selectively edited clips." CBS responded, disagreeing with Belichick's version of events. "When we agreed to speak with Mr. Belichick, it was for a wide-ranging interview," the company said. "There were no preconditions or limitations to this conversation. This was confirmed repeatedly with his publisher before the interview took place and after it was completed."

"The Great Moose Migration" 2025 livestream starts in Sweden, delighting millions with slow TV
Sweden's slow TV hit " The Great Moose Migration " kicked off early this year with the livestream set to capture moose crossing a Nordic river over the next few weeks. So far, 14 moose have crossed the river in their annual spring migration, according to the count on the livestream, as of Wednesday, April 16. "The Great Moose Migration" is streamed online by the Swedish national public broadcaster, SVT. It went live on April 15 and is expected to continue until May 4. It is live 24 hours a day. The live broadcast first aired in 2019. Executive producer Johan Erhag and producer Stefan Edlund were inspired by slow TV series produced in Norway, they said in a video on the making of "The Great Moose Migration." The concept of slow TV began in Norway in 2009 with a broadcast of a train ride through a snowy scenery. It ran for seven hours, and about a quarter of the country watched for some part of the journey. That success led to multiple slow TV series. Erhag and Edlund said they visited Norway and saw how producers there installed cameras on a cliffside, capturing different types of birds in the area. "By the time we got back from Norway, we were so inspired. It was impressive. We wanted to do something like that," Edlund said. They just needed a subject. Once they learned that herds of moose cross part of the Ångerman River about 190 miles northwest of Stockholm every year, they started to set up cameras. "We wanted to share this with the population of Sweden," Erhag said. It took a few years to get SVT to take the pitch. And when they launched in 2019, the first few days went by with no moose. Every day that passed with no sightings was more and more tense, Erhag said. But finally, they showed up and walked straight into the camera shot. "We managed to convey this sense of wonder to our viewers," Erhag said. Edlund explained that "a great deal of technology is required" to broadcast something like "The Great Moose Migration." "The location is demanding, due to the river. We need to set up cameras on both sides and there are loads of cables," he said. They lay almost 12 miles of cable and position 26 remote cameras and seven night cameras. A drone is also used. The crew of up to 15 people works out of a control room, producing the show at a distance to avoid interfering with the migration. Thomas Hellum, a producer behind the train broadcast in Norway, told "CBS News Sunday Morning" in 2017 that slow TV needs to be "an unbroken timeline." "It's all the boring stuff in there, all the exciting things in there, so you as a viewer has to find out what's boring and what's interesting," he said. That's true for the moose livestream, which often shows nothing but the scenic woodlands. Nearly a million people watched the first broadcast of "The Great Moose Migration" in 2019, and in 2024, viewership hit 9 million on SVT's streaming platform. Annette Hill, a professor of media and communications at Jönköping University in Sweden, told The Associated Press that slow TV has roots in reality television but lacks the staging and therefore feels more authentic for viewers. The productions allow the audience to relax and watch the journey unfold. "It became, in a strange way, gripping because nothing catastrophic is happening, nothing spectacular is happening," she said. "But something very beautiful is happening in that minute-by-minute moment." The moose migration has attracted many fans. A Facebook group with over 78,000 members lets viewers share updates. "I would actually like to be a little fly on the wall in every household that watches the moose migration," one mega-fan, Ulla Malmgren, told the AP. "Because I think there is about a million people saying about the same thing: 'Go on! Yes, you can do it!'" The Associated Press contributed to this report.

John Mulaney: Olivia Munn can be 'so dumb' thanks to 'cancer brain'
John Mulaney has claimed Olivia Munn's cancer treatment has left her "so dumb" at times. The 42-year-old actor - who has Malcolm, three, and Méi, six months, with 'The Newsroom' actress - praised his wife for being an "inspiration" while battling breast cancer but revealed one of the side effects she has experienced after undergoing "challenging" medical processes has been so-called "cancer brain". Speaking on the new season of his Netflix talk show 'Everybody's Live With John Mulaney', he said: 'Yes, I have two children now. One was controversial, one you all seem to be cool with. "So, thank you so much for that. I did want to say something: Over the past few months, many people have reached out in a very nice way about my wife Olivia who's been battling breast cancer. I really appreciate all the nice messages that obviously she has received and that even I have received. 'But it's been a real thing to be with someone you love so much going through this. "In the past couple years, Olivia has had five surgeries, months and months of cancer treatment, and the fight that she's put up has made her so inspiring. And the effect of cancer treatment on her brain has made her, at times, so dumb. 'There's a thing called cancer brain: not brain cancer. Cancer brain. It's a sweet, wonderful dumbness that happens after all that challenging treatment." The comedian went on to share a story of how the 44-year-old actress' words suddenly failed her when they had a consultation about having their second child, who was born to a surrogate. He said: "I'll give you an example. We went to a fertility doctor, we were going to make embryos. This was after Olivia had a double mastectomy, but before her hysterectomy and ovariectomy. We were going to make embryos for what eventually became our daughter this fall. "We were standing in the doctor's office and this conversation happened word for word. Doctor, 'The great news is nine eggs survived the thaw.' Olivia, 'So now, we uh, combine it with his, uh, c**?' "[I said] 'Baby, baby. It's semen', [and the doctor said] 'Guys, it's sperm.' ' The former Saturday Night Live' star recently admitted that seeing how Olivia has used her public platform to raise awareness of cancer since her own diagnosis April 2023 has been an "astonishing" thing to watch. He told 'CBS News Sunday Morning': "There's this lifetime risk assessment that is really the only reason her cancer was discovered and seeing so many women publicly and privately come to her, they discovered how high their risk was from that. It's astonishing. "I have this feeling a lot of times. I go 'I can't believe I know this person, let alone have married her."
