Niecy Nash-Betts says 2 producers discussed her weight in front of her face during audition: 'Guys, she can hear you'
Even before she was an Emmy-winning actress, Grotesquerie star Niecy Nash-Betts had no problem standing up for herself during auditions. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter as part of its drama actress roundtable, Nash-Betts recalled a very uncomfortable moment during an audition years ago when producers started talking about her body as though she wasn't standing right in front of them. "I auditioned for something early in my career, and the two producers looked at each other and said, 'She's got a cute face. You think she can lose weight?' And I was like, 'Guys, she can hear you. She is here. And, no, she can't. Now are y'all going to give me the job?'' Though Nash-Betts didn't reveal the name of the project, she said she did end up landing the role: "I don't even know if I was the best one, but they probably felt so embarrassed." Even better, she did not have to lose any weight to get the part. In fact, Nash-Betts recalled, "I went home and ate a cookie." The 55-year-old Nash-Betts, who married singer Jessica Betts in 2020, also discussed how surprised she was to be asked to do nude scenes later in her career. "When I turned 45, it was like, 'And now we want you to be naked.' You waited until now? I was fine to play the part, but the days that you have to film intimate scenes, it's stressful." After winning an Emmy in 2024 for Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, Nash-Betts — who broke through in 2003 for her performance as Deputy Raineesha Williams on the comedy Reno 911! — has seen her career go in a more dramatic direction. "I literally just called my team and said, 'I think people forgot I'm funny,'" said the actress, who will next star alongside Naomi Watts and Kim Kardashian in Ryan Murphy's legal drama, All's Fair. "Every role I get, I'm crying. I'm falling out. I'm perturbed. I'm a funny girl too, so I'm out here in the streets trying to remind people." Read the original article on Entertainment Weekly

Taylor Swift ends social media silence with Natalia Bryant support as Travis Kelce relationship faces fan scrutiny
Taylor Swift makes a social media comeback amid questions about her and Travis Kelce relationship (Getty Images) After weeks of silence following her Eras Tour, Taylor Swift has reappeared online — and fans are thrilled. The pop superstar broke her social media hiatus with a subtle but telling gesture: liking a TikTok video shared by Natalia Bryant, daughter of NBA legend Kobe Bryant. The post, a lighthearted graduation clip featuring Natalia and her friends lip-syncing to Swift's 'Nothing New (Taylor's Version),' has now become the unexpected center of fan buzz. A rare social media like from Taylor Swift sparks excitement amid whispers about her relationship with Travis Kelce Dressed in white dresses and USC commencement stoles, Natalia and her friends struck a celebratory tone that resonated deeply with Swift's lyrics — particularly the line about feeling uncertain at 22 despite once thinking you knew everything at 18. Fans immediately interpreted the like as a "signal of life" from Swift, who's kept a low profile lately. 'TAYLOR FINALLY LIKED A NEW VIDEO,' one fan exclaimed. Another commented, 'Taylor is alive,' capturing the collective excitement of Swifties hungry for signs of activity from their icon. Fans wonder if Taylor Swift is showing enough public support for Travis Kelce's career outside the NFL While Swift's support for Natalia made waves, it also reignited conversations about her own relationship. Some fans questioned whether she's giving boyfriend Travis Kelce the same kind of public backing. Kelce, who has been expanding into entertainment with appearances in shows like Grotesquerie and Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?, has openly expressed his admiration for Swift on his podcast and in interviews. In contrast, some fans feel Swift hasn't reciprocated that visibility — at least not in a way they're used to seeing. 'She supports her friends' projects vocally. Why not Travis?' one Reddit user asked, highlighting how Swift's selective online engagement might be impacting perceptions of the couple. Others speculated that Swift might address this in July with a nod to Happy Gilmore 2, Kelce's upcoming project. To counter the swirling rumors — including recent speculation of a pregnancy — Swift and Kelce made a rare public appearance together. Spotted in Philadelphia with Kelce's family, including mom Donna and brother Jason, the couple kept things casual during a dinner outing at Talula's Garden.

Taylor Swift Fans Wonder If She Is Doing Enough To Support Travis Kelce
Singer Taylor Swift has been involved with NFL star Travis Kelce for over a year now, which has created more opportunities for him outside of football. The Kansas City Chiefs tight end had a hosting gig in 'Are You Smarter Than A Celebrity?' and even acted in 'Grotesquerie.' Ahead of his appearance in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' one fan is wondering if the 'Love Story' singer is doing enough to support his projects off the field. One fan took to Reddit to speculate about the state of their relationship, noting that Swift is quick to cheer for her friends' projects, but has done little to promote Kelce's screentime. They also noted that Kelce is quick to answer questions about her in interviews and talk about her on his New Heights podcast, while Swift doesn't seem to mention him at all. 'Taylor has made a post/comment on her IG about Conversation With Friends, Deadpool & Wolverine, Blink Twice, Selena's engagement, and Selena's album, but nothing for Grotesquerie or Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity,' the user noted. 'She has liked posts about Kelce's NFL accomplishments, which is the bare minimum, but never left a comment. I'm sure Taylor has people on her team reading posts on places like this sub, so maybe in July she'll promote Happy Gilmore 2 just to prove this post wrong,' they added. 'They've been together for almost two years, and I think she's publicly mentioned him maybe once or twice, yet he's gone around on podcasts and interviews talking about her all the time, and he's expected to shout his love from the rooftops,' the user continued. 'Remember how she was with Calvin and Tom? How was she willing to go with Joe to award shows? How she mouthed 'I love you' to Matty after 5 days of dating?' they asked, referring to her exes Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Alwyn, and Matty Healy. 'Recently, she stood him up at Mahomes' charity event, which she attended before. Is she too busy hiding for Rep TV?' they asked, referring to the charity event hosted by Kelce's teammate, Patrick Mahomes. 'This isn't an equal partnership,' they concluded. 'Travis fumbled Kayla Nicole. That girl was ride or die for him. She would post about that man all the time. It's not about fame and fortune, it's about having a loving, supportive partner who will put into a relationship what you put in, no less.' Some users were not surprised by Swift's lack of attention to Kelce's career outside of football. 'Bro, duh it's a PR relationship,' one user wrote. 'Yes, it's true, but she doesn't even make one percent of the effort for 'the relationship. It's so fake,' another netizen commented. 'That's why I think it's NOT PR,' another user chimed in. 'PR would be more organized and consistent. With better baked goods.' Swift has made a name for herself by baking homemade Pop-Tarts for the team, which she made for his photoshoot crew earlier this month. One user had a lengthy reply to the idea that it was nothing but a PR relationship. 'I know the most popular theory is that their relationship is PR, but the thing is she's abused and been obnoxious with PR for years,' the user wrote. 'She knows her way around it and how to manipulate the public and her fanbase.' 'While I don't believe she actually loves him, I do believe it's actually a real relationship between them… on his end. Does he love her? I don't know, but I do think his ego loves the thought and excitement of them being together.' 'Her lack of engagement with his accomplishments and social media does nothing to boost it if it is a PR relationship. If anything, that could cause bad reactions,' they continued. 'I do, however, feel like she probably enjoys how obnoxiously vocal he is about their relationship, though, since she likes that immature, childish stuff, and we know her previous partners were a bit more lowkey.' 'But regardless, I think we all know those types of couples where they think they're in love but they really are just more so addicted to the high they get when together and what each person brings to the relationship,' they concluded. Another user pointed out that Kelce's entertainment career is nothing when compared to her exes, like Tom Hiddleston and . 'Travis's illustrious Hollywood career so far includes a game show on Amazon Prime, a part in a dying TV franchise, and a bit part in an Adam Sandler sequel,' the user quipped. 'Taylor isn't gonna go around singing 'that's my man' for that crap. She doesn't want to put her stamp of approval on stinkers, even if that means not supporting her alleged BF.'
