Britney Spears debuted a sleek new hair transformation with the help of celebrity hair stylist Chris Appleton, who has also styled Kim Kardashian and Ariana Grande.
There are only two types of people in the world: the ones that entertain and the ones that observe Britney Spears’ new look.
The “Circus” singer debuted a new hairstyle with the help of celebrity stylist Chris Appleton, going back to a sleek shiny, ‘do reminiscent of her early aughts look.
“As a kid growing up in England, Britney Spears was the soundtrack to so many moments,” Chris wrote in a June 1 Instagram post, showing off Britney’s new look. “Never in a million years did I think I’d one day be standing behind the chair (or in this case her standing behind mine, lol) styling her hair.”
The stylist—who has also worked with Kim Kardashian, Ariana Grande, Jennifer Lopez and more—mused, “Some moments really do come full circle.”
Trust, Chris was floored to meet the “Lucky” singer in the flesh, adding, “She is not only an icon, but one of the most genuinely kind and gentle souls I’ve ever met.”
For Britney, she couldn’t have opted for a better celebrity stylist. While Chris has risen to celebrity status himself, he’s previously emphasized that he is always focused on the job, first.
“At the end of the day, I’m there to do a job, so I always remember that,” Chris explained to E! News in February. “I think it crosses over organically. I think the people I work with I’ve worked with for a long time, so there’s definitely a friendship there.”
And while the 42-year-old has been part of some major hair moments for his clients, including Ariana’s signature ponytail era, his main priority is meeting the client where they’re at.
“I just kind of—that’s what I like to do,” Chris explained. “I take something and, ‘How can I put my stamp on it?’ And that became a thing.”
Cassie Ventura confirmed she’s built a life with husband Alex Fine and their three children outside the United States in the aftermath of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial and conviction.
Cassie Ventura has moved on to greener pastures—literally.
As part of the 39-year-old’s ongoing legal happenings with former sex worker Clayton Howard—who filed a lawsuit in 2025 against her and Sean “Diddy” Combs related to the past “Freak Offs” he participated in with Ventura at Combs’ behest—she revealed she no longer lives stateside.
As part of a legal document—obtained by E! News June 3 and filed in May—aiming to either have the lawsuit dismissed or the venue changed, Ventura noted that while she is a citizen of the United States, she is “not a resident of the State of California.”
“I reside outside of the United States,” the singer continued in the document. “I do not intend to move back to the United States.”
Because of this, Ventura noted, “If this case were to proceed, it would be significantly more convenient for purposes of participation in the case to travel to New York, where my lawyers are, than to California, where no parties to this action reside.”
E! News has reached out to Ventura’s rep for comment but has not yet heard back.
In a motion to dismiss Howard’s lawsuit filed by Ventura’s legal team on May 1, and obtained by E! News June 1, Ventura said her husband Alex Fine received a supportive message from Howard in 2023 after she came forward with her accusations of abuse and assault against Combs.
“I know your wife’s truth is 100% valid as I’m sure you did as well,” part of the alleged message reads. “I would have come forward and I’m glad she got some form of Justice!”
As questions about Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce’s wedding build, Rhode Island Senator Sheldon Whitehouse weighed in on whether the ceremony is taking place in his state.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce swear they’re gonna marry each other someday.
But the details still remain tightly under wraps. And while rumors that the nuptials might occur in Rhode Island have been building for months, the Ocean State’s Senator Sheldon Whitehouse shared his take.
“I don’t know about that, I think that she gave Rhode Island a pass,” he told TMZ on June 2. “But I hope so, I’d love to have her in Rhode Island.”
But while the senator does seem convinced that the sure-to-be-epic bash isn’t happening in his state, it would make sense as a locale. After all, Taylor’s sprawling, 11,000-square-foot home on the coast of Westerly would make for the perfect venue.
In fact, the mansion has already been home to the Grammy winner’s annual July 4 party—and there have been rumors that she and Travis are planning to tie the knot over the Independence Day weekend.
Alas, Taylor and Travis’ friends, family and loved ones are keeping so tight a lid that it is likely fans won’t get any concrete answers until after the nuptials have already happened.
Take, for instance, Taylor’s soon to be sister-in-law Kylie Kelce’s fiery response to anyone asking her about the wedding.
“To literally everybody, I know it usually comes from a good place, not always, but quit asking me and my mother-in-law about upcoming nuptials,” Kylie—who shares four daughters with husband Jason Kelce—said during the April 2 episode of her Not Gonna Lie podcast. “Nobody’s f–king telling you anything. I don’t have any details.”
Camila Cabello and Henry Junior Chalhoub have reportedly split after a year and a half of dating.
The 29-year-old singer and the 40-year-old billionaire — whose family owns the luxury fashion distribution giant Chalhoub Group — recently ended their relationship, TMZ reported Wednesday.
According to the Sun, the two split after they realized they grew apart.
Camila Cabello and Henry Junior Chalhoub have split after over a year of dating, multiple outlets reported Wednesday. They’re seen here attending a Halloween party in October 2025.
The two simply grew apart, a source told the Sun.
“Camila and Henry had an honest conversation and came to the conclusion they should end things,” a source told the outlet.
“They had a lot of fun together while it lasted but it wasn’t meant to be,” the source added.
Page Six reached out to Cabello’s rep for comment but didn’t receive an immediate response.
The pair — seen here in May 2025 — were first linked in late 2024.
They were spotted kissing during multiple romantic getaways in 2025.
The exes’ last known public sighting took place in April when they were spotted at Coachella.
The pair were first romantically linked in late 2024 after they met at an Elie Saab fashion afterparty in Saudi Arabia.
In July 2025, Cabello said she was “falling in love” with Chalhoub — whose family fortune is estimated at around $1.2 billion — and posted a carousel of pics from their romantic getaway to Ibiza.
In July 2025, the singer wrote that she was “falling in love” with Chalhoub in an Instagram post. She’s seen here performing in July 2025.
Prior to her romance with Chalhoub, Cabello famously dated Shawn Mendes. They’re seen here in September 2021.
Prior to that, the two were snapped on multiple occasions taking romantic vacations together. In March 2025, they were photographed kissing and holding hands in Rome.
Two months prior, they couldn’t keep their hands off one another during their vacation in St. Barts. The couple walked hand-in-hand in the steamy pics obtained by Page Six, as the Lebanese businessman escorted the pop star out of the blue water and to a nearby lounge chair to dry off.
Mendes previously dated Shawn Mendes for two years from 2019 to 2021. Though they briefly rekindled their romance in 2023, they split again a few months later.
CHICAGO — — Nick Kurtz singled in automatic runner Alika Williams in the 10th inning, and the Athletics rallied for a second straight win, 5-4 over the sliding Chicago Cubs on Wednesday night.
Kurtz extended his hitting streak to five games with his hit in the 10th off Ethan Roberts (0-1), Chicago’s sixth reliever.
The Cubs (32-30) squandered a two-run lead in the eighth inning and lost their third straight and for the 18th time in 23 games.
Pinch-hitter Colby Thomas hit a 426-foot solo homer over the left-field bleachers in the eighth, and Tyler Soderstrom drove in his second run of the game with his second single as the Athletics tied it 4-all, with both runs coming off reliever Caleb Thielbar.
Chicago’s Pete Crow-Armstrong and Seiya Suzuki homered, and Ian Happ had two doubles, including the 1,000th hit of his career.
Happ became the 37th Cubs player to each 1,000 hits — and the second Chicago switch-hitter to accomplish the feat — with a double to right in the fourth. The four-time Gold Glove left fielder reached the milestone batting right-handed against A’s lefty Jeffrey Springs. He doubled again in the eighth.
Crow-Armstrong extended his hitting streak to eight games with a two-run drive, his eighth, in the third. Michael Busch tripled in a run.
Hogan Harris (3-0) the Athletics’ fifth reliever, pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the win. Justin Sterner retired all three Cubs hitters in the 10th for his first save.
Soderstrom extended his hitting streak to a season-high nine games and is 14-for-32 (.438) during the stretch. Williams had an RBI.
Cubs starter Colin Rea allowed two runs on four hits in 5 1/3 innings. Springs allowed four runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings, but avoided a seventh straight loss when the A’s rallied.
The Athletics jumped ahead 1-0 in the first, then led 2-0 in the second. Suzuki’s drive to left in the bottom half cut it to 2-1.
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — San Francisco 49ers left tackle Trent Williams isn’t ready to call it a career just yet. But for the first time, he can see the end from here.
Williams, speaking to Bay Area media for the first time since signing a two-year, $50 million contract extension, was reflective Wednesday about where he is in his career and the family time missed since he entered the league in 2010, and was open about the likelihood that he will retire after two more seasons.
Asked whether he thought his latest extension was the final deal he’d sign, Williams confirmed that he did. Asked whether he envisioned his career being done at the end of those two years, he said, “Yeah, probably.”
Williams then expounded on what the feeling was like when he put pen to paper on perhaps his final NFL contract.
“It’s scary,” Williams said. “I’m toying between the idea of going until I can’t no more and just leaving while I’ve still got some good product left and not getting ran out the league.
“It’s been a long time, and I have a daughter who was born a few months before I got drafted. I’m going on year 17. She’s turning 17. As a father, you feel like, ‘Dang, I kind of missed her whole life until adulthood.’ … She [will] go off to college in a couple years. I want to be there and be accessible, and I don’t want to be that father that shadows the kid. I want to be close. You know what I mean? I want to be close. I don’t want to be somewhere at a joint practice.”
Williams did, however, stop just short of announcing a two-year retirement tour, leaving the door ajar for him to play beyond 2027.
“Obviously, I can’t tell the future,” Williams said. “I don’t know. I’m still a competitor. It’s hard not to compete when you can. So, we’ll see.”
In the midst of multiple contract disputes with the Niners, particularly as Williams has entered his mid and upper 30s (he turns 38 on July 19), he has long maintained a desire to play until he’s 40. If he plays only the next two seasons, he will retire following his age 39 season.
But Williams also wants to consider the level he’s playing at when making any decision about his future. In 2025, Williams still sat among the league’s best at his position, earning Pro Bowl and second-team All-Pro honors. He has career totals of 12 Pro Bowls and five All-Pros. Should he land two more Pro Bowl nods, he will tie Bruce Matthews’ record of 14.
“Hall of Famer, obviously, for what he’s done for our team and for myself, and just as a young guy, coming into the league and having his leadership, I’m extremely grateful for that guy,” quarterback Brock Purdy said in April. “More than anything, I know he’s got a lot left in his tank. … I know he’s going to have a chip on his shoulder and to go out and get a ring for him, his résumé and his career, I want to help him do that.”
From the outside, Williams’ latest contract impasse with the Niners appeared to be contentious, but he said Wednesday that was not the case.
In March, San Francisco declined a $10 million option bonus that was due as the sides worked to find common ground on a reworked contract. Williams had been scheduled to enter the 2026 season with no guaranteed money or years left on his deal with a salary cap number of $38.84 million, including a base of $22.21 million.
Under terms of the reworked contract agreed to in April, Williams got $37 million fully guaranteed, including a $22 million signing bonus. According to his agency, Elite Loyalty Sports, Williams is the first non-quarterback to surpass $400 million in career earnings and $225 million in guarantees.
“It was a load off everybody’s shoulders, but honestly this time around wasn’t that stressful,” Williams said. “Everything was kind of how I expected to go. Obviously, there was pushback a little bit on both sides, but for the most part we both knew what we wanted to do. We seen things pretty similar for the future, so it was pretty easy to get through it.”
Williams reported for organized team activities this week after being the only player on the roster not to participate in some capacity (meetings, on field or rehab) last week. His arrival coincided with coach Kyle Shanahan canceling the team’s full-squad minicamp originally scheduled for next week.
Now, Williams is looking forward to chasing the Super Bowl ring that he has said previously would be the icing on the cake of a likely Hall of Fame career. Not that Williams would have retired otherwise, but he said having a successful 2025 (the Niners went 12-5 and advanced to the NFC divisional round) after a brutal 2024 helped him look forward to playing more football.
“I always knew that I had a couple more years left in me,” Williams said. “That did kind of revive that fun that you get addicted to when you’re playing and winning.”
The Pittsburgh Steelers extended their second 2023 draft pick in as many days Wednesday, this time reaching an agreement with tight end Darnell Washington on a four-year, $42 million extension that includes $21 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler.
The supersized tight end had a career-high 364 yards on 31 catches (43 targets) with Aaron Rodgers in 2025. He has a touchdown catch in each of the past two seasons.
Thanks to his 6-foot-7, near-300-pound frame, Washington has been used as a big red zone target in Pittsburgh, but the former Georgia player also has shown an ability to overpower defenders in space.
“Love Darnell,” first-year Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said Tuesday. “He’s been here every day, classroom, good student. He’s a pros pro. I’ve been very, very impressed with him. … Year 1, as you get to know your players, there’s certain schemes you may tilt one way or the other, variations of schemes. And definitely we’ve been doing that with our tight ends, and he’s a big part of that reason.”
Washington, a third-round selection, joins outside linebacker Nick Herbig as members of the Steelers’ 2023 draft class — Omar Khan’s first as general manager — to secure extensions this offseason.
“I’d love to keep that whole class here,” Herbig said after officially signing his four-year, $100 million extension Wednesday. “I think we got a bunch of dogs in there. I’m excited. I think some things [are] going to happen. I hope so. Keeanu Benton is a dog. He’s definitely one of the best in the league. … I want to play my whole career with that guy. And me and Joey [Porter Jr.] developed a great bond. He’s a dog, too. We need a lockdown corner, Peezy Island. Darnell is a freak of nature. He’s like a monster. So definitely need Darnell back. Spencer [Anderson] is a dog, too. We still got [Broderick Jones]. We got dogs all across the board.”
Though they declined the fifth-year option on Jones in part because of an uncertain outlook after a season-ending neck injury, the Steelers have expressed their desire to extend a number of their 2023 picks, including Benton and fellow second-rounder pick Porter, a cornerback.
Nat Sciver-Brunt hopes to bowl towards the back-end of England’s home T20 World Cup, in which she expects play her first international match in more than seven months.
A calf injury suffered while playing in the domestic One-Day Cup on April 29 ruled Sciver-Brunt out of the whole of England’s competitive build-up to the tournament, which the hosts will open on June 12 against Sri Lanka at Edgbaston.
As revealed by head coach Charlotte Edwards following England’s series-clinching victory over India in the third T20I at Taunton on Tuesday, Sciver-Brunt is on track to play as a batter in warm-up games against Australia on June 8 and India on June 10. She is also expected to play in a batting role for the start of the World Cup, but hasn’t given up on bowling later in the tournament if required.
“There’s no sort of pressure to be an allrounder at this stage,” Sciver-Brunt told ESPNcricinfo. “We’ve got a very balanced bowling attack that is covering a lot of bases, so there’s not any pressure for me to bowl in the tournament.
“But from a personal point of view, I’d like to be available to bowl a bit later on. There’s two warm-up games into the first match, which is three games over five days, so it’d be stupid of me to try and do everything all at once. Everything has gone to plan so far and all the sessions that I’ve done have been pain-free.”
Sciver-Brunt’s readiness will come as a relief to England, for on-field reasons as well as off. On Wednesday, she joined Lauren Bell and Sophia Dunkley in promoting a 17.6m by 44.6m display in London’s Piccadilly Lights. The display made them the first England cricketers, male or female, to appear on London’s Piccadilly Lights as part of the This Feels Different campaign by the ECB and Metro Bank, aimed at encouraging girls to play cricket.
But the fact her team were able, in her absence, to secure 2-1 T20I series wins against defending champions New Zealand and leading contenders India without her was also encouraging.
That’s not least because the practicalities of building up Sciver-Brunt’s bowling workloads in-tournament are, by her own admission, “not easy to predict” and a “day-by-day” prospect.
Bell has led the seam-bowling to great effect in her absence, particularly taking by wickets in the powerplay, which became a focus after last year’s 50-over World Cup.
“When I came back from the World Cup in India, I looked at my game and highlighted the powerplay,” Bell told ESPNcricinfo. “As an area as, I’m in the team to take powerplay wickets, I probably wasn’t delivering on that.
“And so I had a period between getting back from the World Cup and going to the WPL, maybe two or three months of training, and you don’t get that that often. So I had a really big training block of working on the powerplay stuff. I’ve worked really hard and I guess I have more clarity on what I’m trying to do.”
Bell had been England’s sole specialist seamer for the last two games against India, with Issy Wong playing only the first after two against New Zealand and Lauren Filer none of the T20Is.
The successful return of allrounders Dani Gibson and Freya Kemp from back injuries helps bolster England’s seam options, even if just for a handful of overs between them. Sciver-Brunt was impressed with the road they had travelled to make it back in time for the World Cup, while being thankful that her injury wasn’t more serious.
“The resilience that they’ve shown at such a young age is really special and inspirational,” Sciver-Brunt said. “It’s going to make for a few headaches in selecting that XI but, having had quite a long time in the England team without loads of seaming allrounders, it’s a brilliant place to be in.”
“When it happened, in my mind – I’ve not had a calf niggle before – but I was like, ‘oh, my calf’s a bit sore,’ I was sort of playing it down, I suppose, but the goalpost never got to missing any of the World Cup,” she added.
“From that point of view, I felt confident that I was always going to be a part of it. Obviously, things can change very quickly, but I’m confident in my body so far that I’ll be ready.”
Meanwhile, England’s batters have stepped up, chiefly Alice Capsey, who made half-centuries as a stand-in opener against New Zealand as well as a match-winning No. 4 in the last match with India to stake her claim in the starting line-up. In that match, she shared a century stand with Heather Knight, whose timely 70 not out broke a run of middling scores.
Opener Danni Wyatt-Hodge is still settling in after a period of parental leave, while fellow opener Sophia Dunkley is hunting a big score. England’s other top-order option, Amy Jones, scored a half-century at No. 3 against India in the first game.
Sciver-Brunt watched from the sidelines as her side, led admirably by stand-in skipper Charlie Dean, appeared to be hitting form at the right time.
“The first few games I was a bit jealous,” Sciver-Brunt said. “Frustrating that I was on the sidelines, but getting to watch everybody with a different lens and taking in things that I wouldn’t be able to whilst being out there on the pitch with everybody, has been really nice.”
Sciver-Brunt has had plenty of time to think about what it would mean for a side which has underperformed on the big stage in recent times to lift the World Cup trophy in the final at Lord’s on July 5.
“What would it mean? That all of the hard work and everything that we’ve done in preparation was worth it, that we are the confident and successful team that we are,” she said.
“We show snippets of what we can be, but in a tournament [we] never quite get over the line in the close games. We have moments, but I guess it would be validation that we are a brilliant cricket team.
“It would mean a hell of a lot. I don’t know if I can put it into words. I have allowed myself to feel like I might lift the trophy, but once that tournament starts, it’ll be business as usual.”
Pat Cummins is holding out hope he can play the entirety of Australia’s busiest 12 months on record, but admits it would be “very surprising” if all of the big-three quicks managed to.
The Test and ODI captain has pulled up well on return from the IPL, where he played his first competitive matches in four months after a back injury curtailed his Ashes.
“Body feels awesome,” Cummins said at a media event for Amazon Prime’s coverage of the women’s Twenty20 World Cup.
“I got a scan, all sweet, so now it’s the next step up, which is getting ready to bowl 20 overs in a day and wake up and do it again in a Test match.”
Cummins will gradually increase his bowling loads throughout June and July in preparation for a 12 month-period that will feature up to 21 Tests.
The hectic chapter begins with two home matches against Bangladesh in August.
By the following August, the Test side will have returned to South Africa for the first time since the 2018 Newlands ball-tampering saga, embarked upon a legacy-defining tour of India and fought to retain the Ashes in England.
They will also play a home series against New Zealand, the 150th anniversary Test at the MCG and possibly the World Test Championship final at Lord’s.
The so-called “big-three” quicks of Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood typically plan to feature in every Test match of a home summer.
Cummins acknowledged things might be different this time, but still hoped to be on deck for every Test.
“The lucky thing is I haven’t played much in the last year or so, so I’m actually coming in physically as good as I possibly could be,” Cummins said.
“I’m kind of hoping that I play all of them, but I’m sure things will pop up along the way.
“It’d be very surprising if the same three bowlers played in 21 of the Tests … there might be a little bit of chopping and changing. It’s kind of unprecedented.”
Back-up pacemen Scott Boland, Michael Neser, Jhye Richardson and Brendan Doggett filled the void when injuries struck Hazlewood and Cummins over the 4-1 Ashes win last summer.
Cummins has acknowledged white-ball cricket will need to take a back seat in order to achieve his goal of playing every Test, with a BBL cameo this summer less likely than ever.
“It’s prioritising the Test matches and then outside of that, there won’t be too much,” Cummins said.
“There’s some white-ball cricket but I think some of that might be how you pull up from the Test matches.”
Cummins also insisted ultra-accurate Hazlewood was still a realistic proposition for regular Test cricket after hamstring and Achilles tendon injuries sidelined him from the entire Ashes.
The 35-year-old has played only 10 of Australia’s last 20 Tests, but Cummins was pleased to see him back to help Royal Challengers Bengaluru win last month’s IPL final.
“Bowling seems a funny one, you can get on a bit of a roll and play a lot,” he said.
“The hardest thing for someone like Josh is actually getting up and going again. He’s had a few little niggles as he’s been building back up, so it’s been great to see him play a lot of cricket.”
Kuldeep is one of four spinners, alongside the uncapped Suthar and Dubey, part of India’s squad for one-off Test against Afghanistan
India’s left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav has said that it is tough to switch from IPL to red-ball cricket but is confident that players heading into the one-off Test against Afghanistan in New Chandigarh are well prepared.
“It is tough when you switch from IPL cricket to red-ball cricket,” Kuldeep told PTI in an interaction facilitated by JioHotstar. “Preparation becomes very necessary.”
Kuldeep had an underwhelming IPL 2026. He picked up ten wickets in 12 matches at an average of 38.10 and an economy rate of 10.29, with Delhi Capitals not qualifying for the playoffs. That allowed him extra time to hone his red-ball skills.
“Luckily, I got time. I practised for at least 10 to 15 days, and got the feel of the red ball,” he said. “In T20, you are always attacking. You always think about going after the batter. You stay in the game with that mindset. But in Test cricket, it’s not like that. The batter has a lot of time.
“Some players are coming straight after the IPL final. They don’t have that much time. But I’m sure they have prepared well. So yes, it’s a challenge, but I’m confident that everyone is preparing themselves well.
With R Ashwin retired, Ravindra Jadeja rested, and Axar Patel not picked, India have a young and a relatively inexperienced group of spinners. Left-arm spinners Harsh Dubey and Manav Suthar have received maiden call-ups, while both Kuldeep and off spinner Washington Sundar have played only 17 Tests each.
Manav Suthar is one of two uncapped left-arm spinners in India’s Test squad•PTI
Kuldeep said he wants the newcomers to feel free to talk to him, and backed the current crop to do well.
“Yes, Jaddu bhai is not there as he is a regular Test player,” Kuldeep said. “We will also miss Axar Patel in the Test match. But the preparations have been good. Washy (Washington Sundar) is also playing Test cricket quite regularly now, so he is well settled in the set-up.
“Whenever a new player joins the team, your job is to make him comfortable. You want him to see you as a partner. If he has any problem, he should feel free to talk to you, and you must be ready to support him. Over the last two years, these young players [Dubey and Suthar] have been part of India A tours. They are also playing the Duleep Trophy and Irani Trophy regularly.
“So there might be a lack of international experience, but when it comes to preparation, match awareness, or red-ball cricket, they are absolutely on top because they are playing regularly.”
What conversations does Kuldeep have with his new spin partners?
“We talk freely as a group, especially about the conditions,” he said. “If I want to test the youngsters, then I ask them questions regarding their understanding of the pitch, the weather conditions, and how the should team approach the match. Our conversations are mostly about basic tactics, what lengths to bowl, what pace works on this surface, and how spinners need to be patient in Test cricket. Patience is everything in this format.”
