Kylie Kelce Posts Beautiful Tribute After Heartbreaking Loss
The Kelce family is navigating a difficult farewell. Kylie Kelce, the wife of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Travis Kelce, shared the news along with a beautiful tribute on her Instagram page.
On March 22, Kylie Kelce shared with her 2.4 million Instagram followers that the family's dog, Baloo, had died. "We were lucky enough to have 7 years with the goofiest, sweetest, most lovable, and tolerant dog I've ever met," she wrote.
Kelce continued, "He wanted nothing more than carbs and pets. He was a simple guy, held together by bubble gum and paper clips."
She explained that when she and her husband told their daughters it was time to say goodbye to Baloo, their daughter Ellie "asked where he was going."
When they told Ellie that Baloo was going to heaven, she replied, "Oh! He'll get to be with Winnie again! They'll be so happy to see each other!"
"The heartbreak is immense, but as Ellie so perfectly pointed out, the Winnie-Bubba reunion had to be pure magic."
"Miss you already Bubbies," she wrote in closing.

The family previously had a dog named Winnie, who died in March 2024. After Winnie's death, Kelce shared a post on Instagram about how she fell in love with Irish Wolfhounds. Both Winnie and Baloo were that breed she loved.
"She was everything I had hoped for in a wolfie and more," she wrote after Winnie's death.
Within just a few hours, over 325,000 fans had "liked" Kelce's post to show their support. In addition, over 4,000 people left their condolences in the comment section.
"Kids always have the brightest outlook in the hardest of times," one fan commented.
"Why do I cry like a baby when other people's animals cross the rainbow bridge?! That sweet baby had the best 7 years a dog could ever ask for," wrote someone else.
Sydney Sweeney Turns Heads With Jaw-Dropping, All-Girl Safari Photos
Most people assume that famous Hollywood actresses don't drive around in jeeps looking for elephants, but what Sydney Sweeney just suggested is; maybe they do? In some brand new candid photos, Sweeney proved, once again, that she's one of the most adventurous celebrities in the world. On Saturday, March 22, Sydney dropped a set of incredible photos to her official Instagram account, showcasing her on an actual safari going full Ernest Hemingway, sans any actual hunting.
"That was wild," Sweeney wrote in an Instagram caption. The photo drop included several photos of Sweeney, along with four of her gal-pals, enjoying what appears to be a legitimate safari, complete with elephants, zebras, and giraffes.

Sweeney's safari photos don't appear to be connected to any of her upcoming film projects, but instead, a thrilling vacation out in the wild. Though one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood, Sweeney frequently posts and writes about her more adventure-themed interests, including racing cars, and now, apparently, roughing it in the wild.
Recently, Sweeney was reportedly attached to star in a new Gone Girl-esque thriller based on a short story that was originally posted to Reddit. As far as we know, that script doesn't have anything to do with going on a safari.
Though, Sweeney was planning on remaking Out of Africa, or The Lion King, these photos prove she's more than up to the task.

Olympian Jutta Leerdam, 26, Wears Ab-Baring Dress During Surprise Proposal
Olympic speed skater Jutta Leerdam is engaged to her boyfriend Jake Paul!
"We’re engaged. We can’t wait to spend forever together," Paul captioned a joint Instagram post on Saturday, March 22. The couple shared some pictures from their engagement, which appears to have taken place in Puerto Rico.
In the photos, Leerdam, who hails from the Netherlands, wore a two-piece white dress. The small top was rather loose fitting compared to the skin-hugging skirt that fell the floor. In addition to baring her impressive abs, the 26-year-old also showed off her sizable diamond ring, which features an elongated oval center stone flanked by two side stones all set on a diamond encrusted band.

"Amazing congratulations!" one person wrote.
"She can def skate on all that ice," someone else added, referring to Leerdam's ring.
"LETSSSSSZ GOOO CONGRATS BROTHER," a third comment read.
Paul shared some photos on X as well.
"No better feeling than finding a person who jumps two feet in the air with heels on when you ask them to spend their life with you. I won," he captioned a post of his fiance leaping into the air after saying "yes."
Leerdam, 26, made her Olympics debut at the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing where she won a silver medal in the women's 1000-meter competition. An accomplished athlete, Leerdam has also earned six gold medals at the European Championships.
Leerdam and Paul have been dating since 2023.

Taylor Swift Issues Strong Opinion of Selena Gomez's New Album
Selena Gomez officially released her fourth studio album, I Said I Love You First on Friday, March 21. The new release is a collaborative album with record producer and Gomez’s fiance, Benny Blanco.
The 14-song album marks Blanco’s second studio album. This was also his second time working in the studio with Gomez, as he received production credits for Kill Em with Kindness and Same Old Love on her second album, Revival.
Following the album's release, one of the most noteworthy reactions was from Gomez's longtime friend and fellow popstar, Taylor Swift, who posted an Instagram story about it.
"@selenagomez & @itsbennyblanco I LOVE THIS ALBUM SO MUCH OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDD," Swift wrote on her story.
Taylor Swift reacts to Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco's album, I Said I Love You First, on Instagram. Swift gave it more than just a stamp of approval, and it's certainly noteworthy to see her praise of Gomez and Blanco's new album.
The album features guest appearances from Gracie Abrams, Tainy and J Balvin. The early reviews have featured a number of positive responses from critics. Clash's Robin Murray gave the album an 8/10 while stating that "each track lands."
Kept to a trim 35 minutes, there’s actually surfeit of highlights on display – each track lands, while owning an incredible sense of breadth. ‘I Can’t Get Enough’ is major league pop, but the introspection of ‘Don’t Take It Personally’ is in another universe.
The couple, who have been together since June 2023, announced their engagement in December 2024. But before any wedding planning intensified, Gomez and Blanco decided to put out an album that many are happy to label as a hit.

Katy Perry's 3-Word Response to Morbid Conspiracy Theory
Even the most casual Katy Perry listener knows that she is a bona fide California “Gurl.” But there’s also a swath of the internet that believes the 13-time Grammy nominee could be hiding a dark secret about her true identity.
The theory first originated in 2016 with The Kernel, which published a surprisingly thorough explanation of why some people believe that Perry is actually JonBenét Ramsey, the child beauty queen who was found murdered in the basement of her parents’ Boulder, Colorado home in 1996.

As HuffPost explained at the time, the main points of the theory are this: Ramsey’s murder was a hoax… and Perry and Ramsey have similar eyebrows.
OK, there’s slightly more to it than that. Namely: That the two bear some resemblance to each other, as do their parents, and that they both know the lyrics to “God Bless America” (yes, really). But the big giveaway, according to conspiracy theorists, is that Perry essentially admitted as much in her memoir.
In discussing how she began writing her own songs when she was just a kid, Perry wrote: “Not that I was one of those stage kids. There was no JonBenét Ramsey inside of me waiting to burst out.”
How is that an admission? Well, your guess is as good as ours. But the morbid rumor has been floating around the internet for almost a decade now, so it has managed to sustain some major traction.
As the Daily Mail reports, Instagram user Peter C. Shields posted an AI video, set to Perry’s “Wide Awake,” that shows the young beauty queen morphing into the pop superstar.

Obviously, the theory has been around for years. But what makes Shields’ video such a game-changer is that Perry herself actually commented on it. It was a simple, three-word response: “wait am i”?
Perry’s response certainly got people’s attention. It received more than 5,200 likes plus hundreds of comments.
Given that the “Roar” singer didn’t outright dismiss the rumor, it will no doubt continue to persist.
Hallmark Star Announces Tragic Death of Wife
A fan-favorite Hallmark actor is heartbroken after the death of his wife. Brennan Elliott shared the devastating news via an Instagram post on March 21.
He wrote, "There is no easy way to say this but I know my wife @camilla_row would have wanted me to thank every person from all over the world who prayed for her over the last 8 years she suffered immeasurably trying to survive and live with #stage4gastriccancer."

Elliott thanked Row for being "the best wife, mother and friend I've ever known." He also mentioned all she did for the gastric cancer community and wrote, "But what you did for me as a man will last forever."
"I love and am in love and will always be in love with you my baby!"
As People noted, Elliott first announced his wife's stage IV gastric cancer diagnosis in April 2022. She was diagnosed at the age of 39 and had been privately navigating her cancer diagnosis for several years before the family revealed it publicly.
The couple had two children, Liam and Luna.
Vatican Issues Statement on Pope Francis After News That He's Leaving the Hospital
Pope Francis has been staying at Rome's Agostino Gemelli Hospital since Feb. 14, getting treated for a polymicrobial infection that resulted in bilateral pneumonia.
But, now, the Pope is coming home. The Vatican and his doctors announced during a press conference on Saturday, March 22, that Pope Francis, 88, will be discharged from the hospital on Sunday, March 23, following a 37-day stay.
Pope Francis has been in stable condition for the past two weeks, according to the Vatican. He'll make a special appearance at 12 p.m. local time from the window of the hospital on Sunday, before he leaves, to welcome and bless people.
"Pope Francis intends to appear from the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli in Rome for a greeting and a blessing at the end of tomorrow's Angelus [noontime prayer]," the Vatican said. "Papal text will be distributed in written form as in recent weeks."
A spokesperson for the Vatican said that the pope will recover for two months at his Vatican residence and keep having his physiotherapy from there.
"The pope is getting better so that in brief time he can resume his normal activities," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni commented. "He has always continued to work but we recommend that he takes the adequate time to rest and convalescence. So he cant meet large groups of people."
Bruni noted that the Pope's voice is still not back to normal, and it will take some time for him to sound like himself again.
"When you have a bilateral pneumonia ... and your lungs have been damaged … muscles affected ... one of the first thing that happens is you lose your voice and like for all patients, young and old … it will take some time for his voice to return to normal," Bruni said. "We have already seen important improvements."
While at his residence and the Vatican, Pope Francis will still need oxygen, and he will also have medical professionals on hand 24/7. He's seen improvements for the past two weeks, so going home is the next step in his recovery.
Doctors Announce Major Decision On Pope Francis
A few days ago, the Vatican shared a positive update regarding the health of Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for the past five weeks as a result of pneumonia in both lungs. Now, it sounds like his health has improved enough to be discharged from the hospital altogether.
On Wednesday, the Vatican and its Holy See Press Office announced that doctors had "suspended the non-invasive mechanical ventilation" at night and "also reduced the need for high-flow oxygen therapy" by day – a very positive update for the Pope.
It seems that Pope Francis only continued to improve from that point and doctors determined on Saturday that he was healthy enough to be discharged from the hospital.
According to the New York Times, doctors have made a final decision regarding his health as they determined that Pope Francis can return to the Vatican, where he will need to rest and recover for at least two months.
Pope Francis' doctors highlighted the severity of his case, noting that the case of pneumonia in both lungs had been so severe that it had twice put his life in grave danger.
For several weeks, Pope Francis was in critical condition, as a result of the pneumonia. Doctors said he experienced an asthmatic respiratory crisis, mild kidney failure, and a bronchial spasm that caused him to inhale his vomit after a coughing fit.
However, they said his condition has now been stable for the last two weeks and that he had overcome his most dangerous infections.
Though he is set to be discharged from the hospital, he will still require therapy and oxygen before he is able to resume his normal schedule, just like any other patient recovering from pneumonia.
Still, this is obviously an extremely positive turn of events for Pope Francis, given the severity of his condition.

George Foreman's Net Worth: How Wealthy Was the Boxing Legend?
Boxing legend George Foreman's net worth derives from his successful career selling grills, not just from his time in the ring.
Foreman, who died on March 21, 2025, at the age of 76, had a net worth of around $300 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
He earned relatively little of it by boxing. Celebrity Net Worth reported that Foreman earned just $5 million as a boxer from 1969 through 1977. In fact, the site reports that Foreman was broke when he left boxing, but he rebuilt a fortune through his George Foreman grill, which became a craze because it promised to press the grease out of burgers, making them healthier to eat.

(Photo by Roger Kisby/Getty Images for Hublot) “It gets awfully confusing because a lot of kids walk up, and their parents say: ‘That’s George Foreman. He was the heavyweight champion of the world,’” Foreman told Forbes of his grill fame. “But one time, one little kid, when he was about 6 years old, saw me and said, ‘That’s the Cooking Man.'"
Foreman's family shared a family statement announcing Foreman's death on his Instagram page.
"Our hearts are broken. With profound sorrow, we announce the passing of our beloved George Edward Foreman Sr. who peacefully departed on March 21, 2025, surrounded by loved ones," the family wrote.
"A devout preacher, a devoted husband, a loving father, and a proud grand and great grandfather, he lived a life marked by unwavering faith, humility, and purpose.A humanitarian, an Olympian, and two time heavyweight champion of the world, He was deeply respected — a force for good, a man of discipline, conviction, and a protector of his legacy, fighting tirelessly to preserve his good name— for his family," the statement noted." A cause of death was not released.
George Foreman's Kids: Yes, He Named All His Sons George Foreman
Yes, it's true. Boxing legend George Foreman named all of his sons George Foreman.
Foreman, who died on March 21, 2025, at the age of 76, had 12 kids, five sons and seven daughters. And when it came time to name the boys, Foreman decided to name each one of them after himself: George Edward Foreman.
On his website, Foreman answered the question, "Why did you name all your sons George?"
"I named all my sons George Edward Foreman so they would always have something in common. I say to them, 'If one of us goes up, then we all go up together. And if one goes down, we all go down together!'" he explained.

Foreman also discussed the decision in an interview with CBN, saying, "I named all my sons George Edward Foreman. And I tell people, 'If you’re going to get hit as many times as I’ve been hit by Mohammad Ali, Joe Frazier, Ken Norton, Evander Holyfield - you’re not going to remember many names.'"
In that website Q and A, Foreman addressed other questions about his George Foreman grill, career, and being a preacher.
People reported that the boys have taken nicknames to differentiate themselves from all of the other George Foremans in the family.
They are known as George Jr., George III or "Monk," George IV or "Big Wheel," George V or "Red" and George VI or "Little Joey," People reported.
