Alana Thompson has finally responded to the persistent online rumors claiming she’s expecting, putting an end to years of speculation.
The 19-year-old, beloved by many as Honey Boo Boo, sat down with DailyMail.com for an exclusive interview on Friday. This came just ahead of the much-anticipated premiere of Mama June: Family Crisis’s seventh season.
During the interview, Alana appeared with her mother, Mama June Shannon, and was asked if there were any misconceptions about her she’d like to address.
Without hesitation, she replied, ‘The one that I’m pregnant.’
Clearly setting the record straight, Alana added, ‘I’m not pregnant at all.’
Referring to the rumor mill, she said: ‘I’ve literally been pregnant for two years. I’m either pregnant or I have a kid already – and I don’t have either of the above!’
Despite the false pregnancy speculation, Mama June, 45, revealed that the family have taken the theories in their stride.
‘We joke about it,’ she quipped. ‘We say, “don’t lie Alana! You’ve got twins!”‘
Alana Thompson has addressed ongoing speculation that she is pregnant after being subjected to bizarre online theories for years
Alana stressed that the obsession with her family plans needs to stop.
‘I don’t have any kids,’ she stated, doubling down. ‘I’m not looking forward to having any kids right now. Nothing.’
In a Reddit discussion only yesterday, fans questioned whether Alana might be having a baby.
Many, however, have criticized the hearsay.
‘Alana has spoken so many times about how she struggles with body image, especially after June had the surgery, can we stop talking about her body and accusing her of being pregnant?’ one said.
‘That’s just rude and pointless. If she is, she’ll eventually reveal it, if she’s not we’re just hurting her feeling for no reason.’
Another penned: ‘I’m not believing this because everyone is always making up weird rumors about Alana being pregnant every five seconds.’
Alana is loved up with her 24-year-old boyfriend Dralin Carswell, whom she’s been in a relationship since 2021.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Alana confirmed that she isn’t pregnant – nor does she have any secret kids
The popular reality TV star, 18, currently lives with her 21-year-old partner as she attends college in Denver for her neonatal nursing degree
The pair live together in Denver, Colorado, where Alana is currently studying to become a nurse.
Mama June: Family Crisis is set to return to We TV this evening with the new episodes set to follow June as she fights for custody of Kaitlyn after Anna’s death.
‘June also searches for a new, bigger house with Justin and works toward keeping a healthy lifestyle with new tricks up her sleeve,’ the official synopsis teases.
‘Away at college, Alana continues to wait for repayment from June and worries her boyfriend, Dralin, may face jail time.’
‘Pumpkin’s business booms with a new warehouse, a vendor event and a new employee – causing a rift with Jessica. Meanwhile, Pumpkin and Josh’s marriage is in trouble, leading her to make a shocking decision.’
Although Casey Anthony’s trial ended years ago, the public remains captivated and opinionated about her case.
Fifteen years have passed since her acquittal for murder charges, and Casey now opts for a life of privacy, choosing to communicate only through social media platforms where she can manage the message. This is a stark deviation from the intense media spotlight during the case involving the tragic death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee Anthony, which dominated headlines at the time.
“I’ve been in the legal field since 2011,” Casey noted after joiningTikTok in March 2025, “and in this capacity, I feel that it’s necessary—if I’m going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate—that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter.”
Oxygen is revisiting the story of Casey Anthony’s legal journey and examining its enduring impact on her current existence.
Casey announced in March 2025 that her present focus is centered on pursuing a career as a legal advocate.
In a TikTok video, she stated, “My aim is to help amplify the voices of others, providing them with the tools and resources necessary to understand their options and take action.”
Casey also announced that she would be sharing her expertise on Substack, where she recently dropped the first chapter of her memoir Who Is She Really?.
“We are plagued by a rush to judgment before someone even steps foot into a courtroom,” she wrote in her first post on the platform, per People. “Once a verdict is read, however long the process takes, the public must trust that the system worked the way it was intended.”
As the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence approaches, Americans across the country are preparing to commemorate this significant July 4th. For those seeking a more nostalgic touch to their celebrations, revisiting John Wayne’s inaugural television special might just be in order. This special, entitled “Swing Out, Sweet Land,” was a 90-minute broadcast on NBC that aired on Sunday, November 29, 1970—right after Thanksgiving—offering a star-powered tribute to the heritage of the United States.
Even though John Wayne generally steered clear of television, he occasionally made exceptions. After instrumental in securing James Arness the lead role in “Gunsmoke,” Wayne became known for introducing the series. Beyond that, he made rare appearances in shows such as “I Love Lucy” and “Wagon Train.” This background in television set the stage for him to host a special—one which earned a Primetime Emmy. “Swing Out, Sweet Land” is a captivating reminder of a past era when television specials were a staple of viewing, as the “Big Three” networks held sway over the airwaves. The program combined comedic sketches, period stand-up routines, musical numbers, and dramatic historical reenactments, all interspersed with Wayne’s own reflections on America.
Sponsored by Budweiser, this special was marketed as a “lighthearted look at American history with words and music,” partially funded by the beer giant’s advertising agency, D’Arcy Advertising, as reported by The New York Times. Featuring John Wayne along with a roster of well-known performers, Budweiser sought to cement its reputation as a patriotic brand in the beer industry—a strategy that endures today. So, perhaps consider enjoying it with a Budweiser in hand.
Swing Out, Sweet Land united the Duke with the biggest names in American entertainment
NBC
While “Swing Out, Sweet Land” faced criticism for its relaxed portrayal of American history, it excels in blending fact with folklore. Much like Wayne’s Western films that merge myth with historical reality, this special does the same. Wayne capitalizes on this expectation, appearing as the quintessential cowboy traversing Bodie, California. The exceptional ensemble cast is a highlight, bringing together renowned figures from across the political spectrum to honor the nation.
The stellar lineup includes icons such as Lucille Ball, Lorne Greene, and William Shatner, as well as Jack Benny, Dennis Weaver, and Ricky Nelson. There’s even a nostalgic “Rio Bravo” reunion with Wayne and Dean Martin, who portrays inventor Eli Whitney, alongside musical performances by Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, Leslie Uggams, Roy Clark, and the entire cast delivering “God Bless America.” Memorable sketches include Michael Landon and Dan Blocker from “Bonanza” humorously revisiting the purchase of Manhattan Island, Bob Hope’s quirky standup at Valley Forge, and an intriguing conversation between Bing Crosby’s Mark Twain and Roscoe Lee Brown’s Frederick Douglass.
For decades, the only way to watch “Swing Out, Sweet Land” was on television. However, in 2007, the special was finally re-released on home video under the title “John Wayne’s Tribute to America” — in some ways, as Wayne himself notes in the opening monologue, “that’s about the size of it.” So, for a more flavorful Independence Day beyond the usual Fourth of July-themed movies, consider revisiting this largely forgotten Duke-led classic.
New Yorkers should brace for flight cancellations and delays during the celebration of America’s 250th birthday.
As Independence Day 2026 festivities bring food, fireworks, and fun, frequent travelers in and around New York City might find their travel plans disrupted. According to recent data, Newark Liberty International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and JFK Airport have been ranked as the top three “worst airports for Fourth of July cancellations.” This could mean grounded or postponed flights for many.
“Newark travelers face the highest risk of flight cancellations among all major U.S. airports,” researchers with Rightway Parking, a virtual airport parking reservation service, reported in their study.
This study found that over the past five Fourth of July travel seasons, an average of 24.7% of flights experienced delays, and 2% ended up canceled across the country.
However, travelers in the tristate area have felt the most significant impact.
“Newark Liberty has the highest Fourth of July cancellation rate in the country, with 3.7% of flights canceled,” continued the insiders, ranking LaGuardia in second place with a 3.3% cancellation rate and JFK in third with a 2.7%.
Investigators analyzed flight on-time performance data from the US Department of Transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), tracking the flight records from top airports — those with more than 10,000 combined departures and arrivals — on each July 4 from 2021 through 2025.
For all 389 reporting airports and 20 airlines, the experts counted the departures and arrivals that were delayed and canceled.
“As BTS defines it, a flight is delayed if it leaves the gate or arrives 15 or more minutes behind schedule,” noted the authors. “Rates were calculated across the full 5-year period (total delayed flights divided by total flights) rather than as an average of yearly percentages — so busier years carry proportional weight.”
The busyness of the boroughs, as well as its surrounding neighborhoods, is likely to be on high this holiday weekend.
The heightened buzz will be, in part, due to the highly anticipated, two-day wedding of pop icon Taylor Swift and a NFL champion Travis Kelce. The A-list lovers are expected to tie the knot at Madison Square Garden, where 1,000 of their closest loved ones are expected to fly into town for the fête.
Beyond the celebrity-studded shindig, city officials are amping up security measures for Saturday, July 4, as hundreds of thousands of revelers are expected to touch down in NYC, painting the town Red, White and Blue for the nation’s anniversary — with temperatures forecast to be in the mid-90s.
Soccer junkies will, too, be landing locally as the FIFA World Cup match between Brazil vs. Norway is slated for Sunday at New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium.
Party animals with big plans had better pray against delays.
The analysts named Newark in their roundup of the top 10 worst airports for delays. The plane station secured the No. 9 spot with a 28.7% delay rate.
Orlando International earned top billing on the unappealing list with a 34.1% rate, with San Juan’s Luis Munoz Marin International (32.9%) and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International (31.8%) rounding out the top three.
JFK and LaGuardia, according to the findings, boast 28.1% and 24.3% delay rates, respectively.
Neil Jones, a renowned dancer from “Strictly,” has officially tied the knot with Chyna Mills.
The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony held at London’s Marylebone Town Hall on Wednesday, later sharing delightful snapshots of their special day on Instagram come Friday.
The shared photos featured only the pair, amidst allegations that Neil had excluded his family from the event following Chyna’s accusations of racism against his mother.
Chyna stunned in an elegant white satin Bardot gown, while Neil appeared quite the gentleman in a sharp suit.
Despite the joyful appearances, the wedding has been enveloped in controversy.
Last year, Love Island star Chyna, 27, accused Neil’s mother of ‘bullying, racism, and disrespect’ last year.
Strictly’s Neil Jones and Chyna Mills are married: Couple tie the knot at London town hall after dancer ‘banned his family from attending over racism row’ (pictured at their daughter’s christening last year)
She alleged at the time that the Strictly professional dancer’s family ‘ruined’ their daughter Havana’s baptism by choosing not to attend which was the ‘final straw’ in the bitter family feud that had been ‘brewing for years’.
Earlier this month, reports emerged Neil had banned his family from attending their big day in Italy, which will follow their legal ceremony.
It is thought that Neil has not even told his mum, Helen, or sister, Terri, when or where the ceremony is taking place.
A source said: ‘The whole thing is a massive shame. His close and extended family were all there when he married his first wife Katya Jones and felt that was an incredibly special day.
‘It makes it even more painful that they have now been cut out completely. Most of them have been blocked by Chyna and Neil, so really have no idea what is going on in their lives at all, let alone about their wedding.’
The source added to The Sun: ‘Everyone feels like Chyna could have shared her concerns in a different way, but instead it’s turned into a public matter and the whole family have been tarred with the same brush.’
The insider added to the publication that the family ‘don’t want it to seem like there is bad blood’ as it is ‘their big day’ and ‘hope it goes really well’.
The Daily Mail has contacted both Chyna and Neil’s representatives for comment.
Sharing black-and-white photographs on Instagram last December, which showed the couple smiling and hugging their two-year-old daughter during her baptism, Chyna spoke out about the family feud she claims has been ongoing behind the scenes.
In a strongly worded post, she wrote: ‘I’ve faced bullying, racism, and constant disrespect from a so-called MIL since the moment I met her. This year, I decided enough was enough and gave her the chance to discuss whatever one-sided issue she had of course, I was ignored.’
She added: ‘Havana’s baptism was a special day, and his family chose not to attend out of loyalty to her and refused to acknowledge what’s unfolded over the past few years. That’s on them. But I won’t accept negative comments or false narratives about my baby girl’s special moments.’
Soon after Neil’s sister Terri spoke out in defence of their mother – accusing Chyna of lying about the situation.
She told the Daily Mail: ‘I don’t want to comment at this time. If she wants to spin lies, then look, the truth will come out eventually.’
A source previously said of the brewing family tension: ‘This goes back much further than the baptism. Despite Neil’s efforts over time to understand and address any issues, he and Chyna still don’t know why some family members seem to have taken a dislike to Chyna.
‘This has resulted in them being absent from Havana’s life. Chyna felt pushed into a corner to defend herself after some of Neil’s family friends and relatives left unpleasant comments.
‘She and Neil were deeply upset to see private matters being played out so publicly. They never wanted a public back-and-forth, but they also feel it’s difficult to stay silent when Chyna is criticised so openly for everyone to see.’
The Sun reported that Chyna spoke out after seeing comments about his family’s absence on Instagram.
The Sun claimed Chyna replied to a comment from a family friend: ‘To be clear, myself and Neil chose not to invite Helen because of how she’s treated me and lack of acknowledgement for our daughter.
‘We weren’t willing to have that energy around Havana on her special day.
‘At the start of the year, I reached out and asked to clear the air so we could move forward for Havana’s sake, and that request was ignored.
‘To be honest, the lack of effort with Havana has been there from the beginning’.
The Daily Mail contacted Neil and Chyna’s representatives for comment at the time.
Strictly dancer Neil, who is 16 years Chyna’s senior, went public with their relationship three years ago, before the couple welcomed their daughter, Havana, in October 2023.
The pro proposed to Chyna during a romantic trip to Bali in April 2023, but the couple is waiting until their daughter is old enough to walk down the aisle with them before tying the knot.
Neil, a four-time World Latin Champion, regularly performs on Strictly as a backing dancer. It is often joked on set that he is rarely given a celebrity partner to compete with.
Last year, he was paired with Toyah Willcox, and in previous series, he has performed alongside Lioness Alex Scott and EastEnders actress Nina Wadia.
He was previously married to fellow Strictly dancer Katya Jones. The pair had been together for over a decade and married for six years before their relationship ended.
Their marriage broke down a year after Katya was caught kissing her celebrity dance partner, comedian Seann Walsh, with many attributing their split to the show’s infamous ‘Strictly curse.’
Imagine a sprawling parade of soccer enthusiasts donning Aussie flags, green and gold shirts, and setting off flares. Yet, this isn’t taking place in Australia nor is it near any World Cup stadium across Mexico, Canada, or the United States.
Welcome to Jabal Mohsen, a vibrant neighborhood in the city of Tripoli, Northern Lebanon, where for the first time, locals have banded together to host a festival in support of Australia for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Videos spreading across the internet capture the scene: an entire street filled with passionate Socceroos fans. Some wave AI-created banners depicting the team’s players, while others joyously chant, “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, oi, oi!”
From a car window, Omran, one of the festival organizers, exuberantly declares, “This is the least we can do for this great country!”
He adds, “This is just our way to say ‘Thank you, Australia, from Jabal Mohsen!'”
Lebanon has never qualified for a FIFA World Cup, and this time around the Socceroos are partly to blame for that.
So why is there so much love for Australian football in this part of North Lebanon?
A connection that runs deeper than football
Ali, who was also one of the organisers of the 19 June festival, said he’s a fan of Socceroos legend Tim Cahill, and that his kids are fluent in “Oi, oi, oi!”.
The 38-year-old lives with his wife and two young children in Jabal Mohsen, which is home to Tripoli’s Alawite minority.
He told SBS News the connection between Jabal Mohsen and Australia runs deeper than football.
“In almost every household in Jabal Mohsen you will find that one of the family members lives in Australia,” he said.
Australia’s ambassador to Lebanon, Tom Wilson, told SBS News it’s common to see Australian flags in Tripoli.
“A lot of the Lebanese Australians who came to Australia in the 70s and 80s are mainly from Tripoli … so there’s really strong connections there,” he said.
Ali, who has a brother living in Sydney, said the festival was about showing love and support to their friends and family.
“[The parade] was a way to give back to the Aussie community both here and in Australia.”
Other communities in Jabal Mohsen held similar festivals this year for Brazil and Germany, nations that are also home to large Lebanese diaspora communities.
Some of the festival’s organisers were Australian citizens, in town visiting family.
Family from Australia provided not only emotional support, but financial help for community back home when they need it.
“It’s a common practice,” ambassador Wilson said.
“If someone needs an operation or urgent assistance for something, they send a message into WhatsApp, and they all throw in a couple hundred bucks.”
“There’s an appreciation of Australia from these people because they know the community is willing to do that.”
Football fans without a field
Suleiman, 30, is a sports photographer with the North Lebanon Football Association and a supporter of both Australia and Brazil at the World Cup.
“My favourite players are Messi, Neymar and Ronaldo. I just love beautiful football,” he said.
Speaking to SBS News through a translation app, he explained there are few outlets for sport in his home town.
“Jabal Mohsen is alive, it breathes sports and loves football, but unfortunately it does not have a football pitch.”
“You see a 25- or 26-year-old with incredible talent who could have gone very far, but the situation in Lebanon in general has not been good.
“Whether because of war or the economic crisis, many people end up leaving their passion behind and turning to other things.”
Once a prosperous city, Tripoli was devastated by the Lebanese Civil War, which raged from 1975 to 1990.
In more recent times, the city continues to experience ongoing effects of the 2019 economic crisis, with high concentrations of poverty and much of the infrastructure in disrepair.
In February, 15 people were killed when two neglected residential buildings collapsed in Tripoli, according to Al Jazeera.
Since March — when Hezbollah began firing on Israel in retaliation for the joint Israel-US attack on Iran — Israeli attacks have killed 3,600 people and displaced over a million across Lebanon, according to the Lebanese health ministry and aid groups.
“It’s been quite difficult over the past few months,” Wilson said.
“Obviously, there’s been a lot of conflict, there’s been a lot of displacement. People have been forced to leave their homes. It’s a very difficult time for the whole country.”
‘All our hearts are with them’
On a recent visit to Tripoli, Wilson arranged to meet the organisers of the Socceroo fan festival.
“Actually, one of the reasons I was up there in Tripoli was to put down the foundation stone on a project we’re assisting through our direct aid program at the embassy,” Wilson said.
The project is a football field.
After seeing videos of the Socceroos parade online, Wilson met with the organisers at a local Tripoli cafe.
“We had a good chat about the Socceroos. We all hoped they’d win a few more games,” Wilson said.
Ali told SBS News he was proud the parade had an impact on the community in Jabal Mohsen and in Australia.
As for the Socceroos’ chances in the upcoming match against Egypt, Ali said a win would be tough but possible.
“All our hearts are with them.”

Cities nationwide are gearing up for the Fourth of July weekend, preparing to counteract potential ‘teen takeovers’—events orchestrated via social media that have caused concern in various states. Law enforcement agencies are adopting preventive measures to curtail any disruptions before they unfold.
These so-called teen takeovers have been springing up across the country, primarily organized through social media platforms. As the holiday nears, police departments are mobilizing resources and strategies to avert disturbances and safeguard the Independence Day celebrations.
The police in Falmouth, Massachusetts, have ramped up their presence and deployed drones to handle potential teen takeovers on local beaches. Their aim is to prevent large gatherings from escalating into unsafe situations, according to Masslive.com.

Lt. Ryan Hergt shared with reporters that the force has implemented measures to control large gatherings, including those involving teenagers, after facing challenges in managing such events in past years.
In Ocean City, Maryland, police in June stopped a teen takeover that was advertised on social media as a “Late Night Beach Party Link Up.” Police learned about the event through the Baltimore Police Department, and arrested several of the alleged organizers before the teen takeover could even happen, according to WTOP.
Some towns are going even further. In Greenville, North Carolina, the city’s mayor enacted a curfew ahead of the holiday weekend in response to threats of a teen takeover, according to The Reflector.

“Greenville Mayor P.J. Connelly has established another temporary curfew for juveniles under the age of 18 in downtown Greenville to help ensure their safety,” a statement from the city reads.
The city dealt with a teen takeover on June 20 in which a large number of fights broke out in the downtown area, with social media posts threatening another similar event on June 27. As a result, a curfew was declared last weekend as well.
Past teen takeovers have proven the events have potential to become dangerous.
In Georgia’s Tybee Island, an “unpermitted pop-up event” in April ended up with gunshots ringing out, which sent scores of teens running for their lives.
Margaret McLean, a former prosecutor, told News Media that law enforcement doesn’t need to wait for chaos to unfold.

“It’s a big preventative measure that police are using. They’re monitoring the social media… arresting some people for rioting. If these organizers are worried that they may face criminal charges or they may get a criminal record or possibly even go to jail, they may step back and decide not to organize one of these events,” McLean said.
She said teen takeovers are such a priority for police because of the potential for them to turn violent, fast.
“People can be trampled,” McLean said.
“What makes them so dangerous is fights can break out and somebody, some innocent bystander can get pushed down or hurt, or they can fall and hit their head and then die from a bad head wound,” she added.
Today, NFL star Travis Kelce welcomed a special guest to his podcast—none other than Prince William—just as celebrations for Kelce’s impending nuptials with Taylor Swift are heating up in New York City.
The podcast episode, part of the popular New Heights series, begins with an enthusiastic introduction from Travis’s brother, Jason Kelce. Opening with what Prince William described as ‘quite an intro’, Jason energetically read, ‘Our guest today is the six-foot-three Prince from London, England.’
He went on to elaborate, ‘That’s right, the President of the English Football Association, the Vice-Royal Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, the Duke of Cambridge, the Duke of Cornwall, the Lord of the Isles, Prince and Great Steward of Scotland, Earl of Chester, and the Prince of Wales, please welcome His Royal Highness, Prince William!’
Following Prince William’s appreciative response, Jason warmly remarked, ‘We had to do it big for you, had to do it big.’ The complete episode of the podcast is slated to be released at noon Eastern Time (5 PM UK time) on Friday.
This appearance marks a significant podcast moment for Prince William, who humorously admitted he was ‘hoping’ for an invite to Taylor and Travis’s wedding in New York after striking a friendship with the couple during a meetup at Wembley Stadium in 2024.

The pop singer and NFL star posed for a selfie with the Prince of Wales as well as two of his children Princess George and Princess Charlotte at the show.
But a report in People this week suggested William and Kate will not be attending, and they have not been pictured among the army of A-listers swarming Manhattan.
The wedding was raised as a topic in an interview on Heart in May, when co-host Amanda Holden asked whether he had received an invite – and William cheekily responded: ‘No comment.’
He added: ‘I’m hoping, and I’m sure there might be an invitation around, but we’ll see.’
Taylor and Travis hosted an intimate rehearsal dinner for their closest family and friends at Madison Square Garden’s Infosys Theater on Thursday. They were joined by around 100 guests ahead of their wedding today, where 1,000 people are expected to attend.
That said, reports have been running wild that the pair may already be legally married. Some sources said they intended to exchange vows in front of 100 of their nearest and dearest on Thursday, before a blowout, festival-style party tomorrow.
Taylor turned the iconic venue pink for her wedding rehearsal dinner with the New York venue being lit up with lights and adorned with dusty pink curtains, while the interior was decked out with peach-colored flowers.
It’s been said that Taylor built a custom princess ‘castle’ inside MSG and has supposedly bought out every available calla lily flower in the city.
Famous guests including Selena Gomez, Jack Antonoff, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper, as well as the singer’s childhood friend Abigail Anderson, were seen heading inside, while Taylor herself was spotted being swept into the back.

The New Heights podcast has become one of the most-downloaded shows in the world
Travis and Taylor met the Prince in the same run of shows as the NFL star’s cameo on stage
One pal who has not made the guest list is Blake Lively and her husband Ryan Reynolds, who were seen a hundred miles away after being iced out from the festivities following a falling out over Blake’s legal battle with Justin Baldoni.
The bride arrived at her rehearsal dinner two hours ahead of its start time in a blacked-out silver Suburban with an extended roof and communications antennas.
She was later seen returning home well after midnight, spending more than eight hours partying in what was said to be her first-night bash.
The Madison Square Garden extravaganza has left plenty of locals less than impressed, though, with 139 NYPD officers assigned to oversee the festivities.
According to Daily Mail sources, that number includes five lieutenants and 14 sergeants, with over 1,000 guests expected to be in attendance.
Jason gave the Prince a huge introduction in the teaser clip for the episode on Friday morning
Jason and Travis have even taken their podcast on the road, with a recent live show in LA

A full street closure will also go into effect, allowing crews to erect a ‘drive through tent’ next to a separate ‘entrance tent,’ according to a special event permit.
For New Heights, meanwhile, the Prince’s appearance is a major coup and just the latest A-lister the brothers have managed to tie down for their show.
In the past, Travis and Jason have interviewed the likes of Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck, Caitlin Clark, Paul Rudd, Rory McIlroy – and of course Swift herself.
What began as a football podcast has evolved into one of the most-downloaded shows in the world, with the pair attracting major figures from Hollywood, sports, entertainment – and now even royalty.

What Else Is Streaming New This July 2026?
What you see above is just a portion of the new movies and shows you can watch this month if you’ve got more than one streaming service subscription. We update our guides to the new releases on the most popular streaming platforms every month, so you can stay on top of the freshest titles to watch. Here are full lists, schedules, and reviews for everything streaming:
Liz Kocan is a pop culture writer living in Massachusetts. Her biggest claim to fame is the time she won on the game show Chain Reaction.
Brittney Lee Saunders, celebrated both as an influencer and a fashion designer, has carved out a fortune through her multifaceted career.
Yet, despite the enviable position of having over 600,000 Instagram followers, the 29-year-old seems to grapple with some of the less glamorous aspects of her prominence.
In a recent episode that brought this to light, the Newcastle, NSW native took to Instagram to express her frustration. A fan had surreptitiously filmed her in public without her consent while she was accompanied by her partner, AJ. Saunders, unreserved in her response, went on to publicly call out the admirer on social media.
‘The girl who I just caught videoing me while I was out with AJ… As I said, do not take a video of me,’ she exclaimed in the video shared with her audience.
She continued, ‘I’ve literally looked over my shoulder and there’s this girl like zooming in on me on her Snapchat, like how embarrassing.’

‘I said across the room, “Hey, please don’t take videos of me”, and then she was really awkward,’ she continued.
‘And you’re probably gonna send that video to your friends. So send them this instead, send them this video of me.
‘I hope you feel embarrassed, because it’s f***ing embarassing.’
Brittney went on: ‘Just A PSA to anyone. If you see someone out and about that you follow online, don’t take a video of them, like go and say hello. You might have a nice time. You could have had a drink with us.
‘I don’t know if I come across as unapproachable on my social media. I know it’s awkward if you don’t want to say hello to someone, but don’t video someone, don’t take photos of someone without their permission, just smile in their direction or come and say hello,’ she added.
