Travis Kelce continues to make moves from the gridiron to Hollywood as Adam Sandler has revealed that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end (and Taylor Swift’s boyfriend) has a small role in the upcoming Happy Gilmore sequel.

Back in May, on Travis and brother Jason Kelce’s New Heights podcast following news of Happy Gilmore 2, Travis said he was a “huge fan of the Sandman” and would do “anything” to get involved in the sequel. “I didn’t even know there was a job opening on Happy Gilmore 2. I’ll be a fucking extra… anything to get around Happy Gilmore, an Adam Sandler film or set — count me in,” Kelce said.

On Tuesday’s Tonight Show, Sandler talked about the sequel to his 1996 classic golf comedy and announced that Kelce would appear in an unspecified role. “Travis has… he mentioned it, so we have a nice something for Travis,” Sandler said, adding that production will begin in a couple of weeks. 

“He’s gonna come by. He’s a very nice guy. You guys would love him in real life. What a big, handsome guy. Funny and cool as hell. He’s a stud, and he’s so funny.”

It’s unclear whether Kelce will just be “a fucking extra” or have a larger role, perhaps playing himself in a celebrity golf scene like Bob Barker’s legendary appearance in the original movie.

Kelce will make his first substantial acting debut in the upcoming Ryan Murphy horror series Grotesquerie, as well as star in the big-screen cop comedy Loose Cannons. The tight end has also been enlisted to host Amazon’s reboot of Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?

Marketer Behind Fake Quotes in ‘Megalopolis’ Trailer Dropped by Lionsgate

Eddie Egan, a very real marketing consultant, lost his gig with Lionsgate this week after the studio discovered that quotes he used in a trailer for Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis were fabricated, according to Variety.

The conceit behind the teaser, which Lionsgate recalled on Wednesday, was that critics had trashed Coppola’s masterpieces throughout the decades, so why trust them? Except that the critics quoted didn’t actually write any of the pith. A quote attributed to Pauline Kael that was said to have run in The New Yorker, claiming The Godfather was “diminished by its artsiness,” never ran.

Dominique Fils-Aimé Follows Her Heart and Own Rules

You know that little inner voice whispering in your ear to be cautious about this, or to give more weight to that? Dominique Fils-Aimé always listens to it — especially when people push her to go against her gut instinct. The jazz artist doesn’t care for conventions or received wisdom. She treats every seed life drops along her path as an opportunity to follow her instincts. To go her own way. To listen to her heart. And it pays off.

The Montreal singer-songwriter tends to question everything we take for granted. Case in point: applause between songs at her shows. Anyone who’s seen her live knows she asks audiences to wait until the end of the performance to clap, so as not to break the spell she creates each time.

On «Abracadabra», Klô Pelgag proves she still has the magic

Anyone who has seen Klô Pelgag on stage can attest to her untamable energy, punk spirit, and refreshing spontaneity. "I really enjoy sweating and being out of breath," she says. "Feeling a little drained after a show is the best." The artist, who I met with on a rainy day, is the polar opposite of her onstage persona: today, she’s gentle, thoughtful, and introverted. Her soft, calm voice contrasts with the loud bustle of the crowded restaurant where we’re seated.

These different facets of Chloé Pelletier-Gagnon coexist harmoniously within her. After all, we are all made of paradoxes and multitudes. "Sometimes, I feel more like myself on stage than when I bump into someone I vaguely know at the grocery store and engage in small talk. That’s when I struggle!" she says, laughing.
