Speaking with Entertainment Tonight at the American Century celebrity golf tournament over the weekend, Jason, 37, shared how he feels about his mom's new gig. 'She's so sweet and so kind,' he said of the 72-year-old. 'I feel like in that show, you have to be manipulative and cunning, and you've gotta be cutthroat. So I don't know, we'll see. I'm anxious to see how she did.' The Kelce brothers had just shared a clip on X of them debating if either of them would ever go on the Peacock series on their New Heights podcast. In the caption of the post, they joked that they were resurfacing an old conversation about The Traitors "for no reason whatsoever," with a smirk emoji, seemingly hinting at the announcement. On the June 19 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast, Jason's wife, Kylie Kelce, confirmed that she would be tuning in to watch Donna. 'I guess I'm gonna have to watch the next season of Traitors!' she gushed. 'That's right, Donna Kelce, my mother-in-law, is on this coming season of Traitors. Have I watched Traitors? Not a whole season. Am I excited to watch Donna? 1000% Imma cheer her on until the end of time.' 'I'm not gonna lie, though, her innocence and honesty is working against her … or for her,' Kylie noted, agreeing with her husband's concern. 'Oh, if she's a faithful, maybe it works for her. Oh! We're all on the edge of our seat. I'm excited. Come on, Donna, win it!'

Executive produced and hosted by actor Alan Cummings, The Traitors follows a group of celebrities split into 'Faithfuls' and 'Traitors' as they go head-to-head in a game of lies, deception and murder for a cash prize of up to $250,000. Many of the all-star contenders have a reality competition show past, including Natalie Anderson from Amazing Race, Rob Cesternino and Yamil "Yam Yam" Arocho from Survivor, Mark Ballas from Dancing with the Stars, Monét X Change from RuPaul's Drag Race and Kristen Kish from Top Chef. Others have less experience in that world, with a handful of Real Housewives stars entering the game: Candiace Dillard Bassett (Potomac), Lisa Rinna (Beverly Hills), Caroline Stanbury (Dubai) and Porsha Williams (Atlanta). Plus, The Real Housewives of New York City's Dorinda Medley, who competed in season 3 of The Traitors and was first to be eliminated, is set to make a return. Additional cast members include comedian Ron Funches, Laguna Beach and One Tree Hill alum Stephen Colletti, Olympic figure skaters Tara Lipinski and Johnny Weir, singer Eric Nam, actor Michael Rapaport, Big Brother alums Ian Terry and Tiffany Mitchell, Love Island and Love Island USA's Maura Higgins and Rob Rausch, and the season 23 Bachelor Colton Underwood.

EXCLUSIVE Incredible images show how close Travis and Jason Kelce came to run-in with bear at celebrity golf tournament
Remarkable Daily Mail images show a black bear lounging up in a tree just meters from the Kelce brothers as they played their final round of the American Century Championship. Travis and Jason played alongside actor Miles Teller on Sunday as part of a star-studded field that brought 90 celebrities to the shores of Lake Tahoe. During Friday's first round, a bear wandered past the brothers - on the other side of a metal fence - as they prepared to take a tee shot. Just a couple of days later, the brothers took on hole No 8 hole at Edgewood Tahoe, unaware that they had another spectator watching from up high. Hordes of fans followed the two NFL legends around the course but exclusive pictures show the bear in the branches of a tree near the eighth fairway. It was spotted by some spectators but not - it appeared - by either the Kelces or Teller. Travis made a par on hole no 8, while his older brother made a double-bogey six. On Friday, fans rushed to take videos and photos of the bear as it wandered by the 16th hole. Even those on the tee box stopped to take a look. The bear scares come only days after one was euthanized just a few miles away after attacking a camper at a site in South Lake Tahoe. As reported by ABC10, the female black bear had been known for multiple home invasions and vehicle break-ins, and it entered an occupied trailer at 4:30am and swiped at the sleeping camper. Designated a 'public safety bear', it was then killed by a State Parks ranger and its two cubs were taken to a Northern California wildlife rehabilitation facility. The American Century Championship was won by ex-hockey star Joe Pavelski, with Travis Kelce finishing in a tie for 63rd and Jason down in 86th.

Chiefs OC Matt Nagy reveals his early belief in Patrick Mahomes before the 2017 NFL Draft
During the latest episode of New Heights, Travis and Jason Kelce welcomed Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The long-time coach shared his thoughts on quarterback Patrick Mahomes during the 2017 NFL Draft process. "When we watch these players on tape, you can't put the tape down; you want to watch more and more and more. No one is better than him when he's running around outside the pocket; he can make special throws. He was doing a lot of that, and the question was, "What type of person is he?" said Nagy, "Coach Reid and Brett Veach, we got to bring in these quarterbacks, bring them into a room, and spend a good six to eight hours with each of these guys. We knew how much we loved the player, but bringing him in and seeing him take it to the top in the person side of it was unbelievable." The Chiefs famously traded up to the tenth pick to select Mahomes in the first round. He has evolved into one of the best quarterbacks in the league, with three Super Bowl titles to his name. The front office and coaching staff made a great call talent-wise to identify a compatible personality within their system.
