Cringeworthy moment NFL star dodges handsy fan as she makes inappropriate move in public
Cincinnati Bengals star Ja'Marr Chase was the subject of a cringeworthy moment over the weekend in New York City as he slid away from a woman's hug while leaving a nightclub. In the early hours of Sunday morning, Chase walked out of Manhattan hotspot Zero Bond to much fanfare. The wide receiver tried to find his car, a black SUV, with plenty parked along the street. The unidentified woman was standing in between Chase and his ride away from the club in a skin-tight outfit, feet from where the wide receiver had just dapped up another person. The woman goes to hug Chase and gets her right arm around him, while he does not make contact with her and keeps walking without stopping, per TMZ. Chase then finds his car and gets in on the side of the street where people are not recording with their phones, as two other females get in before the drive away. Back on the street in Manhattan's NoHo neighborhood outside Zero Bond, the woman stares back at Chase upset that he did not show her affection in return with a mean look on her face. The woman responded on TikTok to her attempted hug of Chase, saying the pair do have a history together. 'Dang, I can't hug a old friend in NYC,' the woman captioned the video. By the comments on the video, at least one person is not buying that they are just friends. 'Sista the face you made now you know he's not just a friend,' one TikTok commenter said. 'Bro the way she made that face and walked off was like a scene out of a rom-com,' another person stated. Chase has plenty of attention on him these days as one of the elite wideouts in football, who recently got paid to cement his top-tier status. This offseason, Chase signed a 4-year, $161million contract with $112million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in the NFL by annual salary. The Bengals have now locked in their offensive core for years to come alongside fellow wide receiver Tee Higgins and quarterback Joe Burrow.

Inside Matty Healy's surprising and short-lived Taylor Swift romance
Glastonbury headliner The 1975's star Matty Healy and Taylor Swift's romance took fans by a surprise, but their love story spans back over 10 years. Here's how it all unfolded The whirlwind fling between Taylor Swift and Matty Healy, The 1975's frontman, left fans scratching their heads with more questions than answers after a series of sneaky backstage sightings and intriguing lyrics. But while the public watched every move, the short-lived romance seemed tumultuous, possibly even messier than what met the public eye. After her split from long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn, Taylor was suddenly linked to The 1975's Matty Healy – a man whose chaotic reputation couldn't be more different from her understated ex. Matty's presence became immediately noticeable at Taylor's Eras Tour concerts, lip-syncing words like 'This one is about you,' while fans tried to decode glances and gestures between the pair that seemed way too deliberate to be random. Denise Welch's son Matty, now 36, and singer Taylor, now 35, didn't make it Instagram official, they were far from secretive. In between dinner dates they were snapped by paparazzi and frequent departures from her New York City apartment – and he even performed with Phoebe Bridgers – one of Taylor's close friends – mid-tour. Online, the Swiftie timeline went into overdrive: some were shipping it and some were in total denial. Taylor Swift and Matty Healy: From flirtation to fallout It may have only been public for a blip in 2023, but Taylor Swift and Matty Healy's connection reaches back 10 years. Fans are convinced her heartbreak album - The Tortured Poets Department is all about him. 2014 - 2015: Flirty Beginnings They first met in November 2014 at one of his shows. By December, rumours were swirling they were seeing each other but Healy quickly shut it down as 'fake', insisting they'd only exchanged numbers. 'As much as it'd be amazing for me if it did, unfortunately it didn't,' he said. In 2016, he downplayed their connection again, calling the idea of dating Swift 'emasculating.' After backlash, Healy clarified he meant being seen as a pop star's boyfriend before being recognised for his own music and stressed he had 'a lot of respect and admiration for her.' 2023: Taylor 'madly in love' with Matty Things went quiet until early 2023 - then Swift shocked fans by performing a surprise set at The 1975's London show in January. By April, she had split from long-term boyfriend Joe Alwyn. Just weeks later, it appeared she and Healy were on. Healy jetted in to watch her Eras Tour shows, with fans spotting both of them mouthing 'This one's about you… I love you' on stage. They were pictured holding hands, cuddling at NYC hotspots, and kissing at members-only club Zero Bond. READ MORE: Truth behind Charli XCX's feud with Taylor Swift as she prepares from Grammys performance 'She and Matty are madly in love,' claimed a source at the time. 'It's super-early days, but it feels right.' While dating reports swirled, Taylor gushed about her happiness during a concert, telling her Eras tour fans in May: 'I've just never been this happy in my life, in all aspects of my life, ever before,' adding that 'it's not just the tour.' Why did Matty and Taylor split? But by June, it was over. A source close to Taylor confirmed she was 'single' and not in contact with him anymore. It was claimed the pair broke up due to busy schedules and incompatibility. A source told Entertainment Tonight at the time: "Taylor and Matty broke up. They are both extremely busy and realized they're not really compatible with each other. "Taylor's friends want what's best for her and aren't shocked that their relationship fizzled out since she recently got out of a long-term relationship." As the pair began dating, Healy wasn't touring but he later set off on a mammoth European tour which meant he was no longer able to visit Taylor for dates in between her Eras tour gigs. 2024: Tortured Poets and Lyrical Fallout When Swift's album The Tortured Poets Department dropped in April 2024, fans immediately clocked apparent references to Healy – especially on 'Guilty as Sin?', 'The Black Dog,' and 'But Daddy I Love Him.' She seemed to paint their short fling as chaotic, obsessive and misunderstood. When asked about being the subject of a diss track, Healy shrugged: 'Oh, I haven't really listened to that much of it, but I'm sure it's good.' Later that year, he told a podcast he wouldn't be writing about her, saying: 'I would kind of just be lying if I made a record about my casual romantic liaisons just because I was famous.' 2025: Matty's subtle nods to Taylor in upcoming music Despite his previous remarks, whispers are now circulating that The 1975's forthcoming sixth album might contain subtle nods to Swift. Whether he's preparing to respond or maintain his silence, one thing is certain - their story might not be over just yet.

Wynn Debuts Sartiano's Steakhouse, a New York Social Hotspot for the Strip
Wynn Las Vegas is bringing a double dose of New York influence to the Strip this winter. The resort already announced an outpost of Zero Bond, the exclusive Manhattan members club known for its buzzy guest list and low-key power plays. Alongside it comes Sartiano's Italian Steakhouse, a refined spin on the classic steakhouse from Bond Hospitality and Scott Sartiano, with a kitchen helmed by three-time James Beard Award winner Alfred Portale. Together, Sartiano's and Zero Bond mark a high-profile pairing of hospitality heavyweights — and a notable expansion of NYC's social scene into Las Vegas. When it opens at the Wynn this winter, Sartiano's will infuse the Wynn with a dose of New York cool, one that will likely play nicely with Zero Bond — or at least with the customers that pay the four-digit annual dues to frequent it (Sartiano's will be open to the public). Chef Portale is widely considered one of New York's most influential chefs, credited with shaping the 'big food' movement and mentoring a generation of culinary stars during his decades at Gotham Bar and Grill. At Sartiano's in New York — located inside the Mercer Hotel in SoHo — the vibe is sceney, with a menu that balances luxury and modern flash. Dishes include $48 caviar cannoli with crisp pastry shells filled with whipped mascarpone, rolled in black fish roe and chives. In Las Vegas, Portale will serve as culinary director, with day-to-day operations led by Las Vegas native Michael Rubinstein, whose résumé includes stints at Momofuku and Vetri Cucina. The Las Vegas menu will carry over highlights from the New York original while introducing new dishes exclusive to the Strip. Among the standouts are baked clams with pancetta and smoked bacon, lasagna with wild mushrooms and black truffle, and large servings of paccheri pasta with herbed ricotta and 'Sunday sauce.' A selection of prime bistecca cuts features prized American and Japanese wagyu, including a 40-ounce Double R Ranch dry-aged bistecca alla Fiorentina, carved tableside and served with Brunello beef jus and salsa verde. And yes, Portale is importing those caviar cannoli from New York. The restaurant's design will lean mid-century modern, with bold, geometric patterns meant to echo Las Vegas style from the 1950s, according to the Wynn. Expect an arched ceiling and a distinctive terrazzo floor. It will be tucked into an alcove overlooking the Wynn Golf Club, with a bar, lounge, outdoor dining, and a private dining room, and will sit adjacent to Zero Bond. New York's Zero Bond draws a high-profile crowd, including Taylor Swift, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kim Kardashian, and — notably — Mayor Eric Adams. The club has recently made headlines over a rumored potential acquisition by billionaire Tilman Fertitta, a Trump ally and U.S. ambassador to Italy, who has recently vowed to divest from his empire of over 600 restaurants. Fertitta also owns the Golden Nugget and is the largest individual shareholder of Wynn Resorts. Meanwhile, Sartiano's in New York is known both as a hotspot for Italian steakhouse fare and an influencer magnet. In Las Vegas, it's poised to become a destination where seeing and being seen go hand in hand — or at least for indulging in some serious gawking at the parade of who's who moving between the restaurant and the club next door.
