Whoopi Goldberg has recently spoken in favour of Taylor Swift after Travis Kelce’s fans blamed the singer for her boyfriend’s “sluggish start”.

Earlier, Travis reportedly appeared miserable on the sideline in a clip which went viral on September 22 as the songstress was not seen at the game for the first time.

Some football fans were quick to slam Taylor for “taking his mind off the game”.

Whoopi defended the singer and said on her The View show, “Grow up, y’all! Grow up! Stop putting this on her. Your team is fine, your team is doing well. Shut up!”

The Sister Act star continued, “It’s insane. Listen, this is a guy whose doing movies now, he’s doing television commercials, he’s doing all kinds of stuff.”

“He might have been a little busy, and maybe he’s not 12 anymore, okay? He’s still a viable player,’” stated the show’s host.

Whoopi believed that it was Donald Trump supporters who lashes out at the singer.

“I am blaming MAGA. I think it’s them because they’re mad, she is not supporting you-know-who. They’re putting all of this on her!” she noted.

Another co-host Sunny Hostin agreed with Whoopi and said, “I love your point, though. It’s probably the crazy MAGA people that are upset about this.”

Whoopi however pointed out, “Yeah, because why else would this suddenly be an issue?”

“And she’s also busy! Sorry y’all, she’s not thinking about him!” claimed the Ghost actress.

Michael Strahan does love being a grandparent, but doesn’t want to be called “grandpa”.

The Good Morning America co-anchor, who became a first-time grandfather on September 22 when his eldest daughter Tanita Strahan gave birth to baby boy Onyx, explained why he does not want to use the customary name as he starts life in the new family role.

“It’s the most amazing feeling ‘cause I don’t feel old enough,” the 52-year-old told Jimmy Fallon during a conversation on The Tonight Show Sept. 23. “Everyone’s like, ‘What is he gonna call you?’ I don’t know. I almost want to do a survey.”

When the late-night anchor suggested he can be called “Papa,” but Strahan preferred “Gap-pa,” a reference to his famous gapped teeth.

Despite being indecisive of what he will prefer to be addressed, being a grandfather is something that makes him “happy”.

“I’m so happy for my daughter Tanita and Calenta [Mincey], her boyfriend,” the former NFL star expressed, calling baby Onyx a “great addition to the family.”

Michael, who shares Tanita, 32, and son Michael Strahan Jr., 31, with ex-wife Wanda Hutchins, as well as 19-year-old twins Isabella and Sophia Strahan with ex-wife Jean Muggli, announced the new born’s arrival on Fox NFL Sunday on September 22.

“It’s really special because I know you guys have gone through this,” he told his co-hosts, who are all grandfathers. “Now I’m just happy to be able to join you in that club.”

Prince William has unveiled the 15 finalists vying for the prestigious £1 million Earthshot Prize, which he founded in 2010 to spotlight groundbreaking solutions to the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. 

Among the finalists are innovators behind an earthquake-resilient brick with 75 percent lower carbon emissions than traditional clay bricks, a group credited with saving the saiga antelope from extinction, and a company transforming crop waste into a sustainable leather alternative.

“These finalists are leading the way in solving some of the most urgent environmental challenges,” William said. 

“Today, we celebrate the incredible achievement, unwavering dedication, and urgent optimism that drives our fourth class of Earthshot innovators.” 

The winners will be announced at the Prize Awards Ceremony in Cape Town on November 6.

William has praised the finalist calling their passion “a testament to what can be achieved when we tap into the enormous creativity, ingenuity, and optimism of communities around the world.” 

They were revealed at the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit during Climate Week in New York, though William was notably absent due to commitments in the UK.

Billionaire Michael Bloomberg, a global advisor to Earthshot Prize winners, addressed the event. 

Prince William’s former private secretary, Simon Case, is under mounting pressure to resign from his position in the British government amid accusations of media leaks. 

While largely unknown to American audiences, Case’s name carries weight among dedicated followers of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle due to his past role at Kensington Palace. 

He served as Prince William’s most senior aide during the period when tensions between the brothers began to escalate and was also the recipient of an infamous email accusing Meghan of bullying.

Now, Case finds himself in the spotlight once again, facing allegations of leaking information to the press. 

However, the Cabinet Office has firmly denied the claims, calling them “categorically untrue.” 

The unfolding saga surrounding Simon Case, Prince William’s former private secretary, is likely to resonate in Montecito, California, where Prince Harry and Meghan Markle now reside. 

The controversy ties back to a pivotal moment detailed in Harry’s memoir, Spare, in which he passionately defended Meghan against allegations of bullying.

In 2018, Meghan was accused of driving two personal assistants out of the royal household and making life difficult for a third. 

These accusations were outlined in an internal email sent by Jason Knauf, then Kensington Palace communications secretary, to Simon Case, who was serving as William’s top aide. 

This connection has cemented Case’s place in the minds of Sussex supporters, who believe the palace was orchestrating a campaign against Harry and Meghan.

With his now facing his own set of allegations, rumors of media leaks have further fueled suspicions among those convinced that the Sussexes were unfairly targeted by palace insiders.
