Neither star has commented about the romance rumors. However, last August, Taylor shared her thoughts about relationships in general.

“I really want to live an open life and meet somebody and be real and honest and truthful with them,” she told The Face, “You can’t really live an open life if you aren’t sharing of yourself while you ask another person to share of themselves with you. But I’ve found it increasingly harder to do that, and I’m trying to challenge myself in that way right now.”

When asked what makes her feel loved, Taylor responded, “Being checked in on.”

The actress continued, “I’m never going to be volunteering all of my feelings. I’m somebody who, annoyingly, complicatedly, needs things to be asked and pulled from me to talk about it. But even then I’m like, ​”I’m sorry, is this too much? Is this too much?” So I need a partner who is going to do that or else it’s never going to work.”

Chris Young, 38, is best known as a country singer, but he recently made headlines for an arrest. The musician was arrested on Monday, January 22, and charged with disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and assault of an officer, according to Us Weekly. He was then reportedly released on Tuesday, January 23, and and was apparently scheduled to appear in court on February 16, but on January 27, TMZ reported all the charges against him were cleared.

A compliance check from Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) agents on Demonbreun Street is what led to the arrest, the outlet further reported. Chris has yet to speak out publicly about the incident.

Find out more about Chris and details of the arrest and dismissal below.

Chris is a Successful Country Singer

Chris’ breakout moment was when he won the fourth season of the singing competition, Nashville Star, in 2006. After his win, he went on to sign with RCA Records Nashville and has released eight studio albums, as of 2024. The talented artist, who started out appearing in children’s theater productions in Murfressboro, TN, first released a self-titled album in 2006 and his latest album, Famous Friends, was released in 2021. His upcoming album, Young Love & Saturday Nights, is set to be released on March 22, 2024.

Chris Apparently Questioned & Recorded Video of Agents Moments Before His Arrest

Chris allegedly began questioning the Tennessee Alcoholic Beverage Commission (TABC) agents and recording video of them before his arrest, according to court documents obtained by ABC news affiliate WKRN. The agents then left and walked to a different establishment to perform another compliance check. When they went to leave, Chris allegedly put his hands out to stop the agents from leaving the bar, and one TABC agent claimed that Chris “struck” him on the shoulder and began “yelling and screaming.”

On January 27, Nashville District Attorney Glenn Funk issued a statement, saying he was closing Chris’ case. “After a review of all the evidence in this case, the Office of the District Attorney has determined that these charges will be dismissed,” he wrote, according to TMZ. Although the attorney didn’t specify why the charges were being dismissed, videos that surfaced online of the incident seemed to show Chris doing almost nothing at all. 

Chris’ attorney, Bill Ramsey, also told TMZ, “Mr. Young and I are gratified with the DA’s decision clearing him of the charges and any wrong-doing.”

He Once Went Into Septic Shock From a Cut on His Leg

The health emergency happened in August 2013, when he was en route to Montana for a tour date. A small cut on his leg became infected, leading to the septic shock and he was taken to a hospital in Denver, CO by ambulance. He was immediately started on medication and had surgery to treat the infection. He waited a week after the surgery to resume touring.

Chris is Involved in Charities

Chris is a big supporter of the organization, Little Kids Rock, and has donated various items to it for auction, which helped to raise money for instruments for children. He’s also a supporter of Stars For Stripes and raised $35,000 for the organization. He’s also raised funds over the years for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, the Nashville School of the Arts, and the recovery efforts for the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.

He Impressively Lost 60 Lbs

Chris made headlines in August 2023, when he took to Instagram to share a shirtless photo of himself and revealed he lost the weight. “This year has been dedicated to a lot of work on myself. Music wise AND in the gym. Still not done, but down 60 pounds so yeah… Gonna leave this here #cheers #fitnessmotivation,” he wrote in the caption of the selfie.

To learn about the cast, plot and more on the sequel, keep reading! 

‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Sequel Cast

According to Deadline, Selena is appearing in the show’s plot episode. However, it is not currently known whether she will return as Alex Russo in the subsequent episodes. The Hulu actress’ TV brother, David Henrie, is reprising his role as Justin Russo as a series regular.  

New faces are all part of the cast, including Janice LeAnn Brown, Alkaio Thiele and Mimi Gianopulos. 

The original series starred Jake T. Austin as Max, David DeLuise as Jerry,  Jennifer Stone as Harper and Maria Canals-Barrera as Theresa. Other stars included Gregg Sulkin as Alex’s boyfriend, Mason, and Bridgit Mendler as Justin’s girlfriend, Juliet.

In response to a social media comment, David reassured fans that he and the rest of the OGs are planning on coming back for the new series.

“We definitely plan on bringing back the original cast for the series order,” David commented.

What Will the ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Sequel Be About?

Per the outlet, the new series will show Justin living a normal life away from the Wizard World. Following a mysterious incident at WizardTech, a powerful young wizard named Billie needs training and seeks Justin’s help. However, the now-adult Justin is living life as a human with his wife and kids. Now, he has to revisit his past in order to help the new wizard learn the ropes. 

‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ Premiere Date

It is not currently clear when the new Wizards of Waverly Place will premiere, as it is currently in the early stages of production. The original show aired from 2007 to 2012. 

Why Did ‘Wizards of Waverly Place’ End?

The series reportedly ended in order for Selena to obtain different acting roles. However, she has never publicly confirmed this rumor. One year after the show concluded, the cast reunited for a TV movie sequel titled The Wizards Return: Alex vs. Alex. 

In 2023, Jennifer revealed during an episode of her and David’s podcast, “Wizards of Waverly Pod,” that Selena turned down the opportunity in an “Alex-Harper spinoff” because of her hectic schedule.

“Now, I don’t know how true this is, but I was told it was pitched to Selena — and I’ll have to ask her this because I’ve actually never asked her this — But I was told that it was pitched to Selena to do a Harper-Alex spinoff,” Jennifer said. “She said ‘no’ because she had a lot of other things going on.”

Meow this is purr-fectly adorable.

On Jan. 27, Khloe Kardashian shared new images of her daughter True Thompson, 5, son Tatum Thompson, 18 months, and included a sweet video of the toddler bonding with their Russian Blue cat, Grey Kitty.

Khloe also included in her post two photos of Tatum cuddling with True, who is wearing Skims cherry-print pajamas.

Alyssa Milano, 51, took to Twitter to respond to the backlash she received after asking for donations for a trip for her 12-year-old son Milo‘s baseball team, The Birds. After many critics suggested she pay the funds herself, she revealed she has previously paid for many other costs having to do with the team.

“I’m getting media inquiries about whether I have financially contributed to my son’s baseball team. I’ve paid for uniforms for the entire team and coaches, thrown bday parties and sponsor any kid who can’t afford monthly dues,” she wrote in a tweet on Friday.

“The kids also do fundraising themselves—car washes, movie nights, and many other fun things!” she continued. “Thank you to all who have contributed to the gofundme! You’ve made things easier for these boys and their families.”

Alyssa’s latest message about the fundraiser comes just one day after she initially asked her followers to help raise $10,000 through a GoFundMe page. She revealed the finances would be used to fund the team’s trip to “Cooperstown” and expressed appreciation for the help. “My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here,” she wrote along with the link to the fundraiser page.

Once the post went public, many Twitter users didn’t hesitate to express their opinions about Alyssa’s request. “I’m not quoting that tweet but what @Alyssa_Milano did is beyond disgusting,” one person tweeted. “There are literally people struggling to buy groceries right now. Your entitled ass should be sending people money instead of begging for your son’s baseball team on SM. Sickening.”

“Imagine being a millionaire, several times over, and expecting complete strangers to help you support your child. #alyssamilano #Pathetic,” another wrote.

Despite the negative feedback, the team raised over $10,000 for their trip and Alyssa went on to repost several other tweets from various baseball teams across the country asking to help funds for their team’s needs. Some of them included the Riverview Gardens Rams and the South Texas Black Sox.

Jay Leno is taking legal steps to protect his wife Mavis Leno‘s financial assets amid her battle with dementia.

The former host of NBC’s Tonight Show has filed for a conservatorship of his wife’s estate in a Los Angeles court. Jay submitted the papers, which reveal Mavis’ medical condition, on Jan. 26, according to legal records obtained by E! News. According to NBC News, the TV personality’s petition seeks a substituted judgment to approve estate planning and implement a testamentary plan that he believes his wife would execute if she were capable.

“Unfortunately, Mavis has been progressively losing capacity and orientation to space and time for several years,” the documents state, per the outlet. “As Mavis’s current condition renders her incapable of executing the estate plan, Jay has petitioned the Court to be appointed conservator of Mavis’s estate for the sole purpose of filing a petition for substituted judgment on her behalf in order to ensure her desires concerning the disposition of her assets upon her death are realized.”

Crystal Wasn’t By Hef’s Side When He Died

When she and Hef finally did marry on New Year’s Eve 2012, Crystal wore pink, writing, “I told myself that when I got married for real someday, I would wear a white dress.” 

Playing Hef’s wife was still a job, she confesses, “but it felt like a promotion.” Still, it was work. In addition to kicking off a DJ and real estate career, growing her social media platform and studying crypto currency, Crystal found herself adopting the role of caretaker.

“I was there at his elbow holding his arm to support him so when we were out in public, nobody would know he was starting to get frail or confused,” she writes. “I wasn’t going to let him down.” 

Though she faced her own health battles—Lyme disease, breast implant illness and toxic mold exposure—she became “hyper-vigilant about protecting his image.” 

When she returned from a week away in late 2017, Crystal learned that Hef had developed a UTI with “a strain of E. coli that was considered a ‘super bug.'” Though they turned his bedroom into a makeshift hospital room complete with the necessary antibiotics, he began to slip in and out of consciousness.

While out in the hallway debating the next steps, recalls Crystal, “one of the nurses came out of the bedroom and said simply, quietly, ‘He’s gone.'”

President Brooke Davis? Sophia Bush is here for it.

Though it’s been nearly 12 years since the actress said goodbye to her beloved One Tree Hill character, Sophia does have an idea of where Brooke is today.

“I always joke that I think Brooke Davis running for class president really changed the whole trajectory of her life,” Sophia, referencing her character’s storyline, told E! News’ Francesca Amiker at the Junction film premiere Jan. 24. “I’d like to see her in elected office, I’d really like to see her delivering an impassioned rant about what people deserve, I think that would really be up her alley.”

Since One Tree Hill aired its final episode in April 2012, the cast has delighted fans with several reunions. In fact, Sophia recently worked with OTH‘s Bryan Greenberg on Junction and even cohosts the Drama Queens podcast with costars Bethany Joy Lenz and Hilarie Burton.

So, does this mean there’s still a possibility of a One Tree Hill reboot in the near future?

When it comes to Kim Kardashian‘s new SKKN by Kim makeup, more is more. Just ask North West.

After the Kardashians star relaunched her cosmetics brand Jan. 26, following the shuttering of KKW Beauty in 2021, her and ex Kanye West‘s eldest daughter proceeded to test out some of the products in a video posted on their shared TikTok.

“SKKN by Kim,” the 10-year-old began. “Honest makeup review.”

In the mostly sped-up video, North burst into song and dance as she gradually applied products. First, she covered her eyelids and brow areas with black eyeshadow.

“This is literally, the most perfect,” she said. “Not too black. Love it.”

After smearing some of her eyeliner to form a starburst effect around one eye, North also applied lipliner and lipstick.

“This is so good!” she said. “No words! No words.”

Kim expressed her amusement at the TikTok video, captioning it, “What my daughter does on my phone ha ha ha ha ha ha,” and adding a laughing emoji.
