00:00 (upbeat music)

00:02 - Hey, it's people like Penn.

00:05 I guess when you're Super Bowl champs two years in a row,

00:08 you know how to party like champs too.

00:10 So here's what you didn't see

00:11 from the Chiefs after party in Vegas, baby.

00:14 First of all, Taylor went clubbing

00:16 with her boyfriend and her parents.

00:18 (upbeat music)

00:20 They appeared to be having fun.

00:24 And so was Jason Kelce.

00:26 Ooh boy.

00:28 Nobody parties better than Jason Kelce.

00:31 Now at some point, Taylor put on Travis's sparkly jacket

00:34 that he wore before the game.

00:36 And then they were off, kissing, singing to her own music.

00:40 (upbeat music)

00:43 Yup, and dancing till morning,

00:46 or at least until 5 a.m. when their appetite hit.

00:49 Now that's when they got their hands on some chicken fingers.

00:52 Man, these two know how to have fun.

00:54 And while the Chiefs were over there

00:57 winning their little game or whatever,

00:59 Queen B was starring in a Super Bowl commercial

01:01 announcing Renaissance Act II.

01:03 And she dropped two new songs.

01:05 ♪ Ain't no holdin' ♪

01:08 ♪ So lay your cards down, down, down, down ♪

01:13 Yee-haw, guys, hop in.

01:15 We're going country, baby.

01:16 March 29th can't come soon enough.

01:18 I am so ready.

01:20 Now a lot of the Super Bowl ads were packed with celebs,

01:24 but there's only one that Kurt Russell

01:26 and Goldie Hawn cared about,

01:27 starring their three-year-old dog, Roy.

01:30 The Labrador appeared in a Budweiser spot,

01:32 and his paw parents couldn't be more proud.

01:35 - That's right, yeah, boy!

01:38 Yeah, boy, yeah, boy!

01:39 - Now that's a good boy.

01:42 And with those commercials,

01:44 it seemed like reunion was the theme for the night,

01:47 including for TikTok's favorite show right now, Suits,

01:50 whose stars headed to court with Judge Judy,

01:52 or should we say Judge Beauty?

01:54 It's brought to you by Elf Cosmetics.

01:56 - $92 on foundation?

01:58 I just want it to look glowy.

02:00 - That stuff isn't even cruelty-free.

02:02 - I find you guilty and sentence you to $14 glowy skin.

02:06 - So of course we have Suits stars,

02:08 Rick Hoffman, Gina Torres, and Sarah Rafferty,

02:11 but also Meghan Trainor, Emanuel Ocho,

02:14 Jury Duty star, Ronald Bladden?

02:16 That's just to name a few.

02:17 And girl, they all object to overpriced makeup.

02:21 An elf we trust.

02:23 So Sophie Turner got us talking this week

02:25 by going public with her new man, Peregrine Pearson,

02:28 at a party in London.

02:30 This is about five months after Joe Jonas filed for divorce.

02:33 But hey, time moves different in Hollywood, y'all.

02:35 Actually, Sophie was spotted kissing Peregrine,

02:37 who's a British aristocrat, as far back as October,

02:40 then posted a few sneaky pics with him back in January.

02:44 We see you, girl.

02:45 If you're happy, we're happy.

02:46 Oh my God, I should put a ring on it, y'all.

02:51 Ahead of hitting the halftime stage with Alicia Keys,

02:53 Lil Jon, and Luda, which I loved, by the way.

02:56 And you know what, for the record?

02:58 I've always loved him, from the very beginning.

03:00 Yep, that's me.

03:02 Anyway, he married his longtime girlfriend, not me.

03:05 Her name is Jen Goy Kuchaya in Las Vegas

03:08 on Super Bowl Sunday.

03:09 Now, they got a marriage license on February 8th,

03:12 so we kinda knew it was coming.

03:13 Then Usher was seen partying with a gold band

03:16 on his left ring finger after his performance.

03:18 And earlier last week, he said it wouldn't be odd

03:20 for them to get married,

03:21 especially since they share two kids.

03:24 Congrats, you two.

03:25 But one other couple was not so lucky.

03:29 It's over for Larsa Pippen and Marcus Jordan.

03:32 Yes, that Jordan.

03:33 So a source tells us they are taking some time apart

03:36 and made it a point to say it has nothing to do

03:38 with any family input.

03:40 Hmm.

03:41 Now, we've had our eye on these two since Sunday,

03:43 which is when Larsa unfollowed Marcus on Instagram

03:46 and deleted every photo of him from her grid.

03:49 Then she hopped on Stories with this doozy of a poll.

03:53 Yikes.

03:54 They started sparking romance rumors in like 2022

03:56 and have been the topic of conversation ever since.

03:59 I mean, she's 49, he's 33,

04:02 and they've laid it all out there about their relationship.

04:05 So maybe we'll learn more about their split soon.

04:08 Another celeb is checking in at the White Lotus.

04:12 Lisa from Blackpink is gonna show us what she can do

04:14 in her first acting role on the show's third season.

04:17 This officially takes the cast from stock to legendary.

04:21 We don't know what character she's gonna play

04:23 or really any plot details at all,

04:25 just that they started filming in Thailand this week.

04:28 First, we got Jennie on the Idol.

04:29 And now this?

04:31 Ooh, the blinks are staying fed by HBO.

04:33 Serena Williams wants us all to love ourselves.

04:38 The tennis goad is giving her followers quite the pep talk,

04:41 writing that loving yourself is essential.

04:43 Now, the mom of two admits that sometimes

04:45 she has to remind herself that too.

04:47 But right now, she actually loves

04:49 that her body isn't picture perfect.

04:51 She just had a baby in August

04:53 and calls postpartum a new version of herself.

04:56 But it's well worth it to her

04:57 because it's helping five-month-old Adira grow.

05:00 So be like Serena, know that you are loved,

05:03 and that love starts from you.

05:04 Now it's the sit-down.

05:07 Five questions with Camila Mendes.

05:08 Hi, Camila.

05:10 As someone who grew up on rom-coms,

05:12 your new movie Upgraded feels like a fresh take

05:14 on the genre, I loved it.

05:16 - You gonna invite me inside?

05:18 - Excuse me, what happened to your manners, Downton Abbey?

05:21 - The evolved rom-com, what drew you to it?

05:24 - As an actor, I was just drawn to the idea

05:27 of playing a role that's, you know,

05:29 feels a little bit more lighthearted and fun

05:32 than other roles that I've done.

05:33 I got to lean into a little bit more of a comedic vibe.

05:37 - And what ways do you relate to her

05:38 and in what ways don't you relate to her?

05:40 - Yeah, it's really hard for me to think about ways

05:42 that I'm not similar.

05:44 I think actually, actually I just thought of one.

05:46 I'm not a white liar.

05:48 I don't lie like that, I can't,

05:51 it makes me anxious to just like drop a little white lie

05:56 because of the follow through of that lie.

05:59 Like what happened to Anna is like my worst nightmare,

06:02 so I would never even take that risk.

06:04 I think I'm very ambitious and driven in my career

06:07 and I have like a deep passion for acting

06:10 and I've been relentless in that goal since I can remember.

06:13 And so I admire that a lot in Anna

06:16 and that's part of why I really related to her.

06:18 And then also just like her sense of humor

06:20 and her silliness, which was definitely like,

06:22 you know, that came from me as a person.

06:26 I remember when I showed this movie to my parents

06:29 for the first time, they were like,

06:31 "It's so nice to see you play a role

06:33 "that's more like you," you know?

06:34 'Cause obviously I've played, you know,

06:37 Veronica on Riverdale and Drea on "Do Revenge,"

06:39 they're all very confident and self-assured

06:43 and they're quick-witted and you know,

06:44 they're always on it and although that is a part of me,

06:48 it's like very much one side of me

06:50 and there's a whole other side of me

06:51 that I don't think I've gotten to show yet, until now.

06:55 - I read that you executive produced the film as well.

06:58 Is that a direction you're interested in the future?

07:00 - Oh yeah, very much so.

07:03 I got a couple things cooking, so,

07:05 and not just as executive producer,

07:07 but as a capital P producer, so just you wait.

07:11 - Now in the past, I've heard you say

07:13 that chemistry is so important between actors.

07:16 So I'd love to know, in your opinion,

07:18 what three elements are necessary for a rom-com?

07:21 - Yeah, chemistry, definitely number one.

07:24 Comedy and I guess nuance.

07:29 Like I just feel like it needs to feel

07:30 like it's specific and unique.

07:33 I don't particularly like the rom-coms

07:35 that feel very like cookie cutter.

07:37 I think there is a place for that

07:39 and it can be quite comforting,

07:41 but I do like to kind of elevate it a little bit

07:43 and make it feel different in some way.

07:46 - You also wrapped Riverdale this past summer,

07:48 which was a huge moment in pop culture

07:50 and in your personal career.

07:52 What was it like adjusting to life

07:54 after seven seasons on the same show?

07:56 - Yes, I am that Veronica Lodge.

07:59 Honestly, I think I was very ready for this next chapter

08:02 by the time it was over,

08:04 even though it was obviously really emotional

08:06 and sad as it was ending.

08:09 I was kind of ready to age out of that phase

08:12 and enter this new phase

08:14 and I think it's been kind of effortless.

08:16 I think I've just kind of been really happy

08:18 to have a little bit more free time

08:19 and enjoying more quality time

08:22 with people that I didn't get to see as much.

08:24 - I know you're still besties with Lily and Madeline.

08:27 Is the group chat lit?

08:29 (laughing)

08:32 - It's pretty lit, I gotta say.

08:33 No, it's not even like, it's not spicy.

08:37 It's more just all of us like venting about things

08:40 that are worrying us or being like,

08:42 hey, are you guys also experiencing this?

08:45 Like, we really lean on each other,

08:47 especially like coming out of this phase of our lives.

08:51 We're all kind of experiencing the same anxieties

08:54 at the same time and it's really nice to have people

08:58 who relate to you in that way.

08:59 - We're gonna put 10 seconds on the clock.

09:01 Tell everyone why they should check out Upgraded

09:04 before time runs out.

09:05 Ready?

09:06 Go.

09:07 - Watch Upgraded.

09:07 It's a very lovely, funny rom-com.

09:10 You won't regret it.

09:11 - Wow, you seem a bit young to be the director.

09:14 - Yeah.

09:15 - The youngest director in company history.

09:17 - Camilla, thank you so much for being here.

09:19 - It was so fun talking to you, thank you.
