Adam Sandler, Blank Space Handkerchiefs

Despite the reported no-phones policy at Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s Friday wedding, details of the “intimate” Madison Square Garden ceremony are starting to emerge from those who were inside the exclusive event. While Swift and Kelce have remained silent so far about the proceedings, AMC Theaters CEO Adam Aron, Maren Morris and Good Morning America hosts Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Michael Strahan were among those who shared their accounts of what happened in the arena. Aron tweeted and then deleted a detailed account of the ceremony, writing in part, “everything… floors, walls, ceilings… was draped in peach and white. Large blown up pictures of Taylor and Travis at each age, year by year from one year-old to late teenager-hood, were on display.” He added, “A small portion of MSG was cordoned off, devoid of any notion that that a basketball or hockey game ever shared that space. Somehow magically, someone created an outdoor garden at a lush countryside retreat. Everything draped off this time in green and white. Real flowers and I think …

Last night, right before the United States celebrates 250 years of independence, its undisputed queen of pop music, Taylor Swift, finally tied the knot to long-term beau, NFL tight end Travis Kelce, in what was surely the most anticipated and hyped up wedding of the century.  And while the world’s most-watched couple have been notoriously tight-lipped about wedding details, and have gone to extraordinary lengths to keep their nuptials private, including forcing their guests to sign “ironclad” non-disclosure agreements and firing workers who took photos of the wedding sets, details are beginning to emerge about last night’s affairs The fairytale ceremony Ordinary couples have to pick a wedding venue, and the typical locations are a combination of personal meaning, romance, and spirituality. The list includes religious venues, seaside locations, large barns, and ballrooms. But if you’re the world’s number-one power couple, there’s really only one city and probably only one place that can accommodate both your guest lists while still delivering privacy from the paparazzi and your millions of fans: Madison Square Garden.   The home …

Kathy Bates ‘Didn’t Know Who Adam Sandler Was’ Before The Waterboy

Kathy Bates ‘Didn’t Know Who Adam Sandler Was’ Before The Waterboy

Kathy Bates is admitting she initially threw the script for The Waterboy in the trash because she wasn’t familiar with Adam Sandler yet. During a recent video interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the Emmy and Oscar winner recalled the moment she first received the script for the 1998 sports comedy. “I didn’t know who Adam Sandler was and I got a script. It was a football script, and I was like, ‘Oh, let’s give me a football.’ Twelve pages I read and I thought, ‘Oh man, I can’t do this thing. This is ridiculous,’” she recounted. “So, I just tossed it in the waste basket, and my niece, who works with me, saw it and picked it out of the [trash]. She said, ‘What is this?’ So I said, ‘It’s a script that some kid Adam Sandler [wrote],’ and she went, ‘Adam Sandler! You don’t know the Hanukkah song?” Her niece was referring to Sandler’s novelty song, titled “The Chanukah Song,” which he debuted during his time on Saturday Night Live in 1994. “So I …

Kyle Kuzma Wants to Dress More Like Adam Sandler

Kyle Kuzma Wants to Dress More Like Adam Sandler

I keep thinking about the tunnel walk and how strange a beast it is. With all the cameras and coverage dedicated to NBA fashion, it’s essentially a red carpet you have to hit multiple times a week for at least six months, making even the longest movie press tour feel brief by comparison. That’s a huge thing. I like to point that out a lot, too. I have friends who are actors, and a prime example is during award season. You got the Oscars, the Golden Globes, and so on. I had a friend who just went on a crazy run, going from premiere to premiere, red carpet to red carpet, and she was just getting looks off. And then award season is over, and it all stops. For us basketball players, we have to get dressed 82 times. I think that’s where we show our versatility and personality as athletes, especially as basketball players. Also, it’s okay to wear clothes more than once, like a regular human being. A lot of times, when you’re …

Sadie Sandler is ready for a new living situation in the trailer for the Netflix comedy Roommates. Director Chandler Levack’s feature is set to debut on the streaming service April 17. Chloe East, Billy Bryk, Sarah Sherman, Natasha Lyonne, Nick Kroll, Storm Reid, Martin Herlihy, Josh Segarra, Carol Kane, Janeane Garofalo and Bailee Madison round out the cast. Roommates centers on Devon (Sandler), a college freshman who asks the confident Celeste (East) to be her roommate. The arrangement leads to no shortage of passive-aggressive tension. “I was wondering what the process is for switching roommates,” Sandler says in the trailer. “I’m having a problem with boundaries.” Later, Sandler tells her roommate, “I would appreciate it if you didn’t sit on guys’ faces in my bed.” East replies, “That is an incredibly fair request.” Levack (Mile End Kicks) helmed the movie from a script by Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara Jane O’Sullivan. Adam Sandler, who is Sadie Sandler’s father, produces the project alongside Tim Herlihy. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Levack explained that the premise appealed …

Adam Sandler was a guest of honor at the 2026 ASCAP Experience on Thursday, where the star admitted that music, even more than comedy, has been his top passion throughout his career.
