Life & Style Magazine - Beth Shilliday
As Jersey Shore approaches its milestone 15th anniversary, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino exclusively tell Life & Style what they think of Sammi Giancola‘s fiancé, Justin May, and if he’s integrated himself into the cast. “We love Justin. Justin is a meatball. Justin is such a good time. He’s great for Sam,” Nicole, 37, gushes. “He fits in right along with us.” As for how Justin interacted with Sammi’s ex and costar Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Nicole adds, “Yes, he has met Ron. And yeah, everything is just normal and fun.” Mike, 42, was also impressed by Justin’s ability to adapt to being part of the Jersey Shore cast. “It’s not easy to jump in and integrate yourselves in this group. You know we’ve been doing this for almost 15 years,” he explains. “He’s done an amazing job. He has a great sense of humor. He’s so loving and supporting of Sam, and that’s all we want for them,” Mike adds about Justin and Sammi, 37. The Sitch also hints that a wedding is on the way soon. “So, we’re very excited for the new seasons. And you know, I don’t want to give a preview or a spoiler alert, but it looks like they’re gonna be walking down the aisle shortly,” Mike confesses. Sammi announced her engagement to Justin in an April Instagram post, writing, “Fiancé,” in the caption of photos of the couple while she rocked her new diamond ring. She shared that Justin popped the question on March 16, calling it, “The easiest question I’ve ever answered … happiest & luckiest girl in the world. I’ll love you forever and then some. Can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.” Sammi and Justin began dating in the summer of 2021 and made their romance Instagram official in November of that year. Jersey Shore’s Ronnie Reveals ‘Instant Feelings’ Ahead of Sammi Reunion Sammi and Ronnie, 38, were still a couple when Jersey Shore ended in 2012. They broke up for good in 2014. Snooki admits she was a little nervous at first with Justin joining the cast after Sammi’s history with Ronnie. “I mean, it was definitely a little awkward. We didn’t know what to expect, but also, we know that it’s been like literally 10 years, even more since they dated, and Sam’s in a committed relationship, getting married to the love of her life and Ron is, you know, working on himself,” she explains. Nicole reveals these days Ronnie is focused on “trying to be the best dad and all that stuff.” He and ex-girlfriend Jen Harley welcomed their only child, daughter Ariana Sky Magro, in April 2018.

Hunter King Reveals There’s ‘Subtle Little Nods’ to Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce in ‘Holiday Touchdown’
Life & Style Magazine - Alyssa Norwin
Holiday Touchdown: A Chiefs Love Story subtly pays homage to Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s romance. The film’s stars Hunter King and Tyler Hynes exclusively tell Life & Style that they think fans of the A-list couple will enjoy the Hallmark movie’s “subtle” references to the stars. “Whether or not you’re a Chiefs fan, I think you’ll be able to relate to this movie in some capacity,” Hunter, 31, says. “I feel like there’s just subtle little nods to things [related to] Travis and Taylor. Taylor fans might like, like, [Tyler’s] last name in the movie. There’s just certain, like, little tiny Easter eggs, as we’ll call them, that I think they’ll have fun hunting for.” Tyler, 38, adds, “I think that their love story has inspired the world in a lot of ways and it’s something that everybody’s kind of rooting for. I think there’s a feeling within that that’s certainly captured in the movie. Even though we’re not tackling that storyline head on, it feels like we’re getting the best of it all. We’re telling a multi-generational story that feels very Hallmark and feels very inviting for anybody from any walk of life to join in.” Hallmark's Holiday Movie Inspired by Taylor and Travis: Everything to Know In the film, which premieres on Hallmark Saturday, November 30, at 8 p.m. ET, Hunter plays a lifelong Chiefs fan named Alana Higman who wants to win the team’s Fan of the Year contest. Tyler’s character, Derrick, is the Chiefs’ director of fan engagement and has to determine if Alana and her family can beat the other two finalists. “As the pair spends time together, it’s clear there’s a spark between them but when her grandfather’s vintage Chiefs good-luck winter hat goes missing, Alana begins to doubt everything she believed about fate, destiny and even questions her future with Derrick – unless, that is, a little Christmas magic can throw a Hail Mary,” the film’s synopsis says. “I love the script,” Hunter admits. “I love how centered around family and tradition it was. I am so, so close with my grandma and getting to read the script and see the relationship that my character had with her grandparents, I just absolutely loved that. That was so inspiring to me and felt so true to my own life.” For Tyler, the movie was a perfect fit after he previously worked with members of the Chiefs organization on a commercial. “I had gotten to know them and fell in love with the city so much,” he gushes. “That part of it was a big component that I was excited about.” Chiefs Drop Rom-Com …

Zach Bryan Yells at Crowd to Not ‘Throw S–t at Concerts’ After Fan Tossed Something on Stage
Life & Style Magazine - Elise Nelson
Putting his foot down! Zach Bryan made it clear that he won’t tolerate fans throwing anything at him or his band during his concerts. The country singer, 28, scolded the crowd at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Washington, after a fan threw something on stage during his The Quittin’ Time tour show on November 23. It’s unclear what the item was. “Who was it? Does anyone know?” Zach asked repeatedly, as seen in video footage shared by a fan via TMX on Tuesday, November 26. “Don’t throw s–t at concerts, huh?” The concertgoers erupted in cheers as Zach added, “And if you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here, if you ever find out who did it.” Zach Bryan Apologizes for 'Rude' Taylor Swift Tweet: 'I Respect Her' The incident came amid backlash that Zach has faced in the wake of his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. The “Pink Skies” singer announced their breakup via his Instagram Stories on October 22. “Addressing something: Brianna and me have broken up with each other and I respect and love her with every ounce of my heart,” he wrote. “She has loved me unconditionally for a very long time and for that I’ll always thank her.” Zach went on to explain the reason for calling it quits, alluding to personal struggles in recent months. “I have had an incredibly hard year personally and struggled through some pretty severe things. I thought it would be beneficial for both of us to go our different ways. I am not perfect and never will be,” he continued. He did not get into specifics. “Please respect Brianna’s privacy and space in this, and if you have it in your heart, mine too. With everything I am and to anyone I let down, I am sorry. I try my best in everything. I failed people that love me and mostly myself,” Zach continued. Despite the breakup appearing to be a mutual decision, Brianna, 25, wrote on her own Instagram Stories that she was “feeling really blindsided right now.” “Gonna hop off social media for a while and attempt to heal privately, when I’m ready I’ll be back and ready to talk. I love you guys so much thank you for all of your kind words. Remember you are so loved and everything’s always gonna be OK,” she continued. Brianna later clarified that she was “blindsided” by Zach’s post announcing their split because it came only one day after the breakup happened. He allegedly did not warn her that he was going to go public with the news so soon. “I’ve been crying for like, five days straight,” she explained. “I’m just at the point where it’s like, …

Brittany Cartwright Is ‘Proud’ of How ‘Strong’ She Has Become Amid Her Divorce From Jax Taylor
Life & Style Magazine - Elise Nelson
They say what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and Brittany Cartwright is showing some serious strength these days amid her divorce from Jax Taylor. “I feel very strong right now,” The Valley star, 35, exclusively tells Life & Style. “I’m really proud of myself for how strong I have been this year. And I don’t know. I just kind of, like, am trying to put myself first a little bit.” Brittany adds that her and Jax’s son, Cruz, “is always going to come before anything” else. However, she feels “good” since she started “doing things for me,” including her recent AirSculpt procedure to tackle problem areas that were affecting her confidence. Are Brittany Cartwright and Jax Taylor Still Together? Divorce Updates “Even with this AirSculpt, like, I wanted to do this for me, and I wanted to feel better and get my confidence back for me. Mental health is so important and I just was not myself for so long,” the Vanderpump Rules alum continues. “So right now, I’m just like in this ‘girl power, doing everything on my own, just feeling good about myself’ kind of mood and I love it.” Brittany filed for divorce from Jax, 45, after five years of marriage in August, Life & Style confirmed. She cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for their split and listed their date of separation as January 24. The mom of one asked for primary custody of Cruz, 3, with Jax getting visitation rights. She waived seeking spousal support in her filing. Jax responded to the filing with his own paperwork on September 26. However, his handwritten documents included conflicting information about the legality of their marriage, according to the court docs obtained by In Touch. The former SUR bartender checked two boxes in the paperwork, with one stating that he and Brittany were married. On the other hand, Jax also checked the box that stated that “the parties never legally married or registered in a domestic partnership.” The reality star also incorrectly listed their date of separation as the date of the filing, September 26. Brittany poked fun at the mistakes in an Instagram comment on October 3, writing, “We are legally married. I’m guessing paperwork is hard for some people.” Jax explained that he made “errors” while “filling out forms that are usually done by trained legal professionals” and ensured that they would be “amended without delay,” the estranged couple’s rep told Us Weekly on October 2. The rep also noted that Jax and Brittany had already worked out an agreement over custody of …

The Valley’s Brittany Cartwright ‘Lost So Much’ Confidence During Jax Taylor Relationship
Life & Style Magazine - Jessica Stopper
Brittany Cartwright is filling her cup following her divorce from estranged husband Jax Taylor. The Valley star recently underwent an AirSculpt procedure in her problem areas after she “lost so much confidence throughout” her marriage, she exclusively tells Life & Style. “[AirSculpt] helped me get [my confidence] back and feel more like myself again. And that’s the most important thing to me,” Brittany, 35, says. The Vanderpump Rules alum admits that she tries to work out and eat healthy, despite her busy schedule managing her career and coparenting her son, Cruz, with Jax, 45. Brittany announced their separation in February and filed for divorce six months later. “All this is also going to help motivate me to stay in the gym, and you know, keep up with habits like that as well, because once you start seeing results, you want to keep going,” Brittany admits. The Kentucky native entered the spotlight when she started dating Jax in 2015, and she joined the Vanderpump Rules cast shortly after. Brittany quickly became a fan favorite in her own light and detached herself from the title of Jax’s then-girlfriend. Brittany Cartwright’s Weight Loss Journey: Before and After Photos That said, Brittany faced her fair share of hateful comments over the years from trolls who criticized her body after Cruz’s birth in 2020. Two years later, the reality star became a spokesperson and ambassador for Jenny Craig, which helped kickstart her weight loss journey. “I lost like 45 pounds on Jenny Craig,” Brittany tells Life & Style, explaining that she “still had so much loose skin” from pregnancy. Luckily, the non-invasive AirSculpt treatment helped strengthen and tighten her core. “I got huge when I was pregnant. I’m always very open about that, like I was so big I got stretch marks. I had loose skin, and even as much weight as I lost I still could not control that tummy area like, no matter what,” Brittany tells Life & Style. “So, that’s why air slope was so important. And they also do like skin tightening treatments as well. And that was like life changing for me, bringing my confidence back.” While navigating her new routine after her separation from Jax, Brittany says that her ex is a “great father,” despite being a “terrible husband.” In October, Jax gave Brittany full custody over Cruz. “We’re trying to get better every single day. But if I needed something, Jaz would be there for me, and he would be there for Cruz in a heartbeat,” Brittany tells Life & Style. “I could call him right now, …

Taylor Swift Comments on How ‘Stressful’ Chiefs Game Was as She Interacts With Fans After Win
Life & Style Magazine - Alyssa Norwin
Taylor Swift took a moment to interact with Kansas City Chiefs fans while leaving boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Monday Night Football game. As she exited Travis’ private suite, Taylor waved and blew kisses to the crowd sitting in the section below her. “Bye guys!” Taylor, 34, mouthed. “Bye! Oh my God. Stressful!” She seemed to be referring to the close game, which the Chiefs won 30-24 in overtime. The win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, November 4, gave the Chiefs their eighth victory this season, keeping up their undefeated record. This was the fourth home game Taylor attended amid the 2024 season. She was decked out in an all-black outfit for the evening, topping off her look with a Kansas City Chiefs leather jacket. One day before the game, Taylor played her third of three back-to-back shows in Indianapolis, Indiana, which wrapped up the final United States leg of her Eras tour. All the Photos of Taylor Swift Supporting Travis Kelce at Chiefs Games There are just nine more shows left on the record-breaking tour, which includes six shows in Toronto and three in Vancouver. The Eras tour concludes on December 8 after nearly two years on the road. Which Is Your Favorite Taylor’s Version Album? After the final show in Indianapolis, the “Blank Space” singer was spotted leaving the stadium with a glass of wine in hand. It was an eventful weekend on tour, as Taylor dealt with a microphone pack malfunction during the first show of the weekend on November 1. The error happened during the Midnights portion of the concert and an audio engineer had to come on stage and fix the pop star’s wireless pack. However, she didn’t miss a beat as she continued to sing the words to “Lavender Haze” while being tended to. Meanwhile, over in Pennsylvania, Travis’ brother, Jason Kelce, made headlines for his interaction with a Penn State University student at College GameDay on November 2. When a fan asked Jason, 37, “Kelce, how does it feel that your brother is a fa–ot for dating Taylor Swift?” the retired NFL star responded by smashing the troll’s phone on the ground and asking, “Who’s the fa–ot now?” While serving as an analyst for ESPN’s Monday Night Countdown, Jason apologized for his behavior. “Listen, I’m not happy with anything that took place,” he said. “I’m not proud of it. In a heated moment, I chose to greet hate with hate, and I just don’t think that that’s a productive thing. I really don’t. I don’t think it leads to discourse and is the right way to go about things.” After …
