Taylor Swift has touched down in Kansas City to support her boyfriend Travis Kelce and the Chiefs as they take on the Las Vegas Raiders. The tight end will be supported by his pop megastar girlfriend and his mom, Donna Kelce, who pulled up in red outfits ahead of the Black Friday game at Arrowhead Stadium (kick off is set for 3 p.m. ET). Scott Swift, Taylor’s dad, walked behind them. It comes as Swifties braved horror temps to queue for her official Eras Tour book. As part of the foreword, Swift wrote: “I decided to create the longest, most ambitious show I’d ever even attempted. Averaging at 3 hours and 15 minutes, the 45 songs played. My goal was for every fan to leave that show knowing I gave them absolutely everything I had.”

Joe Biden’s White House may soon face a mutiny from some of its alumni, but not for weighty issues like Israel’s war in Gaza. A contingent of former White House officials have been mulling a petition to the Biden administration over a lack of “departure photos,” the customary photos a president takes with outgoing staff and their families to honor their service, according to Politico. Biden had stopped doing the photos for months this year (perhaps dealing with other, potentially more pressing concerns), and when the White House did resume them this month, they only extended the offer to current staff—and without the usual plus ones. It prompted a number of former staffers to air their grievances in a group chat, where the petition was considered. A White House official told Politico the group would soon be invited to get their “clicks” with Biden in the Oval Office, though it’s unclear when over the next two months. “The staffers who gave everything to this President,” a former official wrote to their old colleagues, according to Politico, "who missed anniversaries, birthdays, their own doctors appointments, knowing democracy itself was on the line, deserve at the very least a proper goodbye from the man who says he owes them everything.”

One could interpret, as its artist intended, the $6.2 million banana-duct-taped-to-a-wall as an absurd piece of art. The crypto entrepreneur who bought it made it a very expensive snack. Tron founder Justin Sun ate the banana at a press conference in Hong Kong on Friday after purchasing the right to display Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan’s “Comedian” installation last week. “Eating it at a press conference can also become a part of the artwork’s history,” Sun said at the press conference, according to the BBC. Sun had promised to eat the banana after winning the auction, which was conducted by Sotheby’s. The banana, which is meant to be regularly replaced, has been eaten twice before, though never by someone who has purchased the rights to the installation. The hefty sum Sun paid was news to the New York fruit stand vendor who sold the 35-cent banana, and cried upon hearing the eventual winning bid. “I am a poor man,” Shal Alam, 74, told The New York Times. “I have never had this kind of money; I have never seen this kind of money.” “Those who bought it, what kind of people are they?” he asked the Times reporter. “Do they not know what a banana is?”

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon has been secretly communicating with Donald Trump over the past several months, offering input on the president-elect’s economic policies, multiple unnamed Republican insiders told the New York Post. One of the sources said the two men have been having “no-holds-barred conversations,” which have continued after Trump won the presidency. Several of the sources told the Post that the talks focused on cutting government spending, banking regulations, and taxes. The men’s conversations continued even amid apparent public tensions, like when the president-elect earlier this month announced in a Truth Social post that Dimon “will not be invited to be a part of the Trump Administration.” Dimon soon fired back, though, saying, “I haven’t had a boss in 25 years. I’m not about ready to start.” The Wall Street giant has been outspoken about his hope that Trump will follow through on his plan to cut red tape for bankers, saying at a recent conference that many in the industry “are dancing in the street” after Trump’s win. Spokespeople for both Trump’s transition and JPMorgan declined to comment to the Post on its report.

Four years after makeup artist Bobbi Brown departed from her eponymous label, Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, the makeup mogul began developing Jones Road Beauty to fill a gap she saw in the beauty industry: clean and high-performance products for all ages, complexion types and skin tones.

In 2023, the Jones Road Miracle Balm sold over 375,000 units on Black Friday alone, so it’s safe to say it’s pretty popular.

It’s been a bestseller since its release in 2020 and comes in 13 colors, including the new Pinky Bronze (a low-shimmer, pink-brown) and Golden Hour (a sheer gold with multi-dimensional shimmer), which looks beautiful on all skin types.

An Australian actress and OnlyFans star opened up about her relationship with her step-brother, who she is pregnant to after the pair got married in Sept. 2023. Speaking on the UNCENSORED podcast, Scarlet Vas, who first became famous from starring in the Australian show Neighbours, talked about meeting now-husband Tayo Ricci when they were teenagers. Once their parents got together they became “family,” they said. However, that didn’t deter them from pursuing a relationship—or profiting from it on OnlyFans. Ricci said that while they make some step-sibling content, it’s not to “the standard that people would expect.” “I’m not gonna lie, when I was young, I fantasized about it. Yeah, it just felt so wrong until it felt right,” Ricci said on the podcast.

The Chicago Bears fired head coach Matt Eberflus on Friday after it suffered its sixth consecutive loss in a series of close-call matches. “We informed Matt of our decision to move in a different direction with the leadership of our football team and the head-coaching position,” Bears general manager Ryan Poles said in a Friday statement. “I thank Matt for his hard work, professionalism and dedication to our organization. We extend our gratitude for his commitment to the Chicago Bears and wish him and his family the best moving forward.” The Bears lost 23-20 on Thursday to the Detroit Lions, days after it also lost 30-27 in overtime to the Minnesota Vikings. It also lost 20-19 to the Green Bay Packers earlier this month. Eberflus had earlier on Friday assured his team he was “confident” he would remain its head coach, according to ESPN, only to eventually get sacked hours later. Bears interim offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will become its interim head coach.

Dolph Lundgren, the actor best known for his turn as the villainous boxer Ivan Drago in the Rocky film series, has announced he is “finally cancer free”. The Swede disclosed last year that he’d been fighting the disease since 2015 and was told in 2020 that his cancer was terminal and that he had only three years to live. But now, he is looking forward to the future this Thanksgiving, taking to Instagram to say: “Here I am at UCLA, I’m about to go in and get rid of that last tumour. Since there are no cancer cells in my body anymore, I guess I’ll be cancer-free so I’m looking forward to this procedure.” He said he was undergoing a lung ablation, a procedure that uses heating or cooling mechanisms to destroy tumor tissue. “It’s been a rough ride and really taught me how to live in the moment and enjoy every moment of life. I mean, it’s the only way to go,” Lundgren said from his hospital bed pre op.

A group of British lawmakers helped clear the way on Friday for the U.K. to legalize assisted suicide, according to The New York Times. The House of Commons voted to approve the bill (330 to 275) that would allow terminally ill patients in England and Wales to work with their doctors to end their lives early. The process is currently legal in a handful of countries—along with 10 U.S. states—but those who’ve sought to help British patients in the past have faced potential prosecutions. The bill was proposed by a Labour Party member, but it has amassed support from members of various parties for its attempts to curtail self-induced death without assistance. “The deathbed for far too many is a place of misery torture and degradation, a reign of blood and vomit and tears,” Conservative Party member and bill supporter Kit Malthouse told the Times. “I see no compassion and beauty in that: only profound human suffering.” The legislation will now move through various parliamentary committees and face potential amendments.

Social media footage has provided a glimpse into Mar-a-Lago as Donald Trump celebrated Thanksgiving with his family and closest allies. Elon Musk—still at the Florida residence—received a standing ovation at the dinner Thursday as the crowd roared in approval. Footage posted to Instagram Stories by jewelry designer Jacob Safar shows Musk, accompanied with his mom, Maye, waving to the crowd. Another video shows Musk sitting next to Trump while “Y.M.C.A.” plays in the background, with the president-elect pumping his hands on the table in delight and then tapping Musk on his shoulder. Footage posted by Instagram user Colin Stangel also shows the pair dining together. Sylvester Stallone, also in attendance, could be seen schmoozing with the political elite. Barron Trump and Melania were also there, with Barron sitting next to his father, and Melania on the other side of Barron. Barron, in a red tie, seemed less than impressed by his father’s dancing, and did not partake, per video posted to Instagram. Eric, Lara and Tiffany Trump were also in attendance.

Former president Bill Clinton said he could not sleep for two years after the 2016 election, which his wife Hillary Clinton lost to Donald Trump. Clinton makes the admission in his new book, Citizen—My Life After the White House, according to the Daily Mail. “The whole thing is hard for me to write,” the former president writes. “I couldn’t sleep for two years after the election. I was so angry, I wasn’t fit to be around. I apologize to all those who endured my outbursts of rage, which lasted for years and bothered or bored people who thought it pointless to rehash things that couldn’t be changed.” Clinton also writes that he concurs with professor and author Kathleen Hall Jamieson’s belief that James Comey’s announcement that he was reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails days before the election coupled with Russian cyber attacks were, as Clinton writes, “effective enough to persuade voters in Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin to vote for third parties or stay at home. If so, Putin’s enablers were Comey and the political press.”
