<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/taylor-swift" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor Swift</a> and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/travis-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Travis Kelce's</a> rumored relationship has captured the attention of what feels like the entire country, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelces-rumored-romance-how-it-started-and-how-its-going-212215" rel="" target="_blank">all in less than a week.</a> The speculation began swirling on a new level when Taylor <a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-spotted-with-her-arm-around-travis-kelce-at-chiefs-game-after-party-212155" rel="" target="_blank">came to watch him play at Arrowhead Stadium last Sunday</a>, and fans are wondering about the nature of their friendship and potential romance.</p>

<p>It seems that, at least for the singer and the Super Bowl champ, their spark came at just the right time. A source tells ET, "When Taylor and Travis first connected, Taylor was looking to have fun while enjoying some downtime."</p>

<p>The songstress just recently wrapped up the North American leg of her Eras Tour in late August. Travis had seen her perform at Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium in July, where he <a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-reveals-the-surprising-way-he-tried-to-give-taylor-swift-his-number-208724" rel="" target="_blank">first tried to get his number to her</a>. After this, their paths seemed to cross.</p>

<p>"So far, it’s been a nice change of pace for her," the source says. "Now, as things progress between Taylor and Travis, they’re both looking to keep it more private."</p>

<p>The source adds, "They’re both excited about where things are headed."</p>

<p>On Sunday,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-roots-for-travis-kelce-alongside-his-mom-donna-at-chiefs-game-211908" rel="" target="_blank">Taylor came out to show her support</a>&nbsp;for Travis during the Kansas City Chiefs' game against the Chicago Bears. She spent the matchup cheering for Travis' team alongside his mom,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/donna-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Donna Kelce</a>.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, Travis&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-says-taylor-swift-looked-amazing-at-chiefs-game-shares-what-mom-donna-thought-of" rel="" target="_blank">addressed the moment</a>&nbsp;in a new episode of his&nbsp;<a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/new-heights-with-jason-and-travis-kelce/id1643745036" target="_blank"><em>New Heights</em></a>&nbsp;podcast --&nbsp;which he co-hosts with his brother, Philadelphia Eagles center&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jason-kelce" rel="" target="_blank">Jason Kelce</a>&nbsp;-- revealing what Mama Kelce, dad Ed Kelce, and his close friends had to say about the pop star.</p>

<p>"Shout-out to Taylor for pulling up, that was pretty ballsy," he said. "I just thought it was awesome how everyone in the suite had nothing but great things to say about her. You know, the friends and family."</p>

<p>"She looked amazing, everybody was talking about her in a great light," he added with a smile.</p>

<p>"To see the slow-motion chest bumps, to see the high fives with Mom, to see how, you know, Chiefs Kingdom was all excited she was there -- that s**t was absolutely hysterical and it was definitely a game I'll remember, that's for damn sure," Travis said on Wednesday's podcast. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Taylor and Travis&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-travis-kelce-seen-together-as-they-leave-arrowhead-stadium-after-kansas-city-chiefs">were seen leaving the stadium together</a>&nbsp;in his "getaway car"&nbsp;and kept the festivities going as they shut down a popular restaurant&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/travis-kelce-rents-out-restaurant-for-taylor-swift-and-team-for-private-party-after-football-game" rel="" target="_blank">for a private post-game party.</a></p>

<p>An eyewitness at Prime Social Rooftop, a trendy restaurant in Kansas City, told ET, "Travis bought out the restaurant for his family and team. Taylor arrived, wearing a denim dress, and was seen snacking, having some cocktails and dancing alongside Travis. The two were very affectionate with one another but kept things fun and lighthearted. Travis' teammates also showed up to the after-party, as well as his mom and dad, Donna and Ed. The party lasted until 2 a.m."&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, they also spent time together before the big game.&nbsp;A source&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/taylor-swift-and-travis-kelce-hung-out-before-chiefs-game-debut-source-211961" rel="" target="_blank">previously told ET</a> that the pair had spent some time together prior to their public debut, telling ET, "Travis and Taylor have a lot in common and they are having a great time getting to know each other. They have similar values. She likes that he pursued her and it has been easy and exciting for both of them."</p>

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are 'Excited' About Where Romance is Headed: Source

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/gayle-king" rel="" target="_blank">Gayle King</a> is weighing in on the recent high-profile comments made by <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/cindy-crawford" rel="" target="_blank">Cindy Crawford</a> criticizing an early interview with <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/oprah-winfrey" rel="" target="_blank">Oprah Winfrey.</a></p>

<p>In the first episode of the new AppleTV+ docuseries&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/the-super-models-trailer-cindy-crawford-naomi-campbell-share-how-george-michael-changed-their" target="_blank"><em>The Super Models</em></a>, Crawford reflected on her very first appearance on&nbsp;<em>The Oprah Winfrey Show&nbsp;</em>in 1986, when she was 20, and she <a href="https://www.etonline.com/cindy-crawford-calls-this-moment-from-oprah-winfrey-interview-so-not-ok-211703" rel="" target="_blank">calls out Winfrey for&nbsp;making her feel like a "chattel,"</a> or like a piece of property.</p>

<p>King, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/inside-oprah-winfrey-and-gayle-kings-epic-night-out-at-beyonces-renaissance-tour-208979" rel="" target="_blank">a close friend of Winfrey's</a>, spoke with ET's Rachel Smith on Thursday at <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gallery/celebs-hit-the-carpet-at-the-clooney-foundation-for-justices-2023-albie-awards-see-the" rel="" target="_blank">the Clooney Foundation for Justice's 2023 Albie Awards</a> in New York City, and she explained that she'd "heard about it" but that she hasn't yet watched the clip of the interview in question, or the new show.</p>

<p>"I haven't seen it, and I want to see it, but I'm surprised and a little disappointed," King shared. "Because I know Cindy's been on her show many, many, many times and it has always been a pleasant experience, [so] I would hate to think that something that happened years ago [could have bothered her]."</p>

<p>While King reiterated that she wasn't clear on exactly what happened in the interview, the veteran journalist said, "It's not Oprah's thing to humiliate or make anybody feel badly."</p>

<p>"I have to see it, but, as far as I know, everything is good between Oprah and Cindy," King added.</p>

<p>In the clip -- which was at first taken down from YouTube amid the controversy, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4bgp2xUsfg&amp;ab_channel=OWN" rel="" target="_blank">but subsequently reposted</a> --&nbsp;Crawford, then just 20 years old, appeared alongside John Casablancas, the model's rep at Elite Modeling Agency.</p>

<p>After introducing Crawford from nearby DeKalb, Illinois, Winfrey asked Casablancas, "Did she always have this body?"</p>

<p>Winfrey then asked Crawford to "stand up just a moment."</p>

<p>"Now this is what I call a body," said Winfrey as she put an emphasis on the word "body."&nbsp;</p>

<p>"I was like the chattel or a child, be seen and not heard," <a href="https://www.etonline.com/cindy-crawford-calls-this-moment-from-oprah-winfrey-interview-so-not-ok-211703" rel="" target="_blank">Crawford says in&nbsp;<em>The Super Models</em>.</a> "When you look at it through today's eyes, Oprah's like, 'Stand up and show me your body. Show us why you're worthy of being here.' In the moment I didn't recognize it, and watching it back I was like, 'Oh, my gosh. That was so not OK, really.' Especially from Oprah."</p>

<p>It should be noted that Crawford would go on to make 10 more appearances on <em>Oprah</em> following her 1986 debut. Crawford was also a featured guest on <em>Oprah's Master Class</em>, which aired on OWN in 2013.</p>

<p>As of yet, Winfrey has not publicly commented on Crawford's commentary from the episode.</p>

Gayle King Addresses Cindy Crawford Calling Out Oprah Winfrey Over Past Comments (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/gypsy-rose-blanchard" rel="" target="_blank">Gypsy Rose Blanchard</a> is just months away from freedom, and years sooner than expected.</p>

<p>On Thursday, the <a href="https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/crime/2023/09/28/gypsy-rose-blanchard-will-be-released-from-missouri-prison-in-december/70991647007/" rel="" target="_blank">Missouri Department of Corrections</a> confirmed that Blanchard, 32, will be paroled on Dec. 28.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Gypsy, whose story was <a href="https://www.etonline.com/joey-king-gets-vulnerable-in-hulus-the-act-exclusive-121796" rel="" target="_blank">detailed in the Hulu series</a><em><a href="https://www.etonline.com/joey-king-gets-vulnerable-in-hulus-the-act-exclusive-121796" rel="" target="_blank"> The Act</a>,</em> is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence at the&nbsp;Chillicothe Correctional Center in Missouri,&nbsp;after the 2015 murder of her mother, Dee Dee Blanchard.</p>

<p>Dee Dee suffered from Munchausen syndrome by proxy and manipulated Gypsy into believing she was wheelchair-bound and suffering from a series of chronic illnesses. After years of suffering at the hands of her mother, Gypsy secretly began going online where she met a man named Nicholas Godejohn.</p>

<p>The pair struck up a secret online relationship and&nbsp;concocted a plan to kill Dee Dee, which they eventually carried out.</p>

<p>In 2016, Gypsy pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Two years later, Nicholas was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison.</p>

<p>Amid her life in prison, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gypsy-rose-blanchard-marries-ryan-scott-anderson-amid-prison-sentence-188138" rel="" target="_blank">Gypsy got married in July 2022, tying the knot with Ryan Scott Anderson</a>&nbsp;in Missouri. According to the couple's marriage license, which ET obtained, Ryan hails from Lake Charles, Louisiana.</p>

<p>Gypsy&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/gypsy-rose-blanchards-engagement-is-back-on-after-brief-breakup-131444" rel="" target="_blank">was previously engaged</a>&nbsp;to a man named Ken, whom she met through the prison's pen pal program.

Gypsy Rose Blanchard Granted Early Prison Release Amid 10-Year Sentence

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/george-clooney" rel="" target="_blank">George Clooney</a> and his wife,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/amal-clooney" rel="" target="_blank">Amal Clooney</a>, walked the carpet <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gallery/celebs-hit-the-carpet-at-the-clooney-foundation-for-justices-2023-albie-awards-see-the" rel="" target="_blank">in style on Thursday at the 2nd annual Albie Awards</a> in New York City, organized through the Clooney Foundation for Justice.</p>

<p>The star-studded gala came one day after the pair <a href="https://www.etonline.com/amal-clooney-exudes-bridal-glamour-in-italy-with-george-ahead-of-their-9th-wedding-anniversary" rel="" target="_blank">celebrated their 9th wedding anniversary</a>, and both George and Amal were in high spirits while addressing the milestone and their black-tie awards ceremony.</p>

<p>"She inspires me in everything she does," George shared with ET's Rachel Smith while smiling sweetly at his lovely wife. "And by the way, yesterday was our 9th anniversary!"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="c5f3764a-3743-4247-81b1-4edff65f34b5" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>"Said it wouldn't last, you know what I'm saying?" George added sarcastically, Joking with Rachel, "In fact, <em>you</em> literally said that! She said it."</p>

<p>George also asked his brilliant wife, "Do you feel like a power couple, my love?" to which she humbly replied, "Not really."</p>

<p>On a serious note, Amal explained that the anniversary felt particularly special by getting to celebrate it while also honoring those who have dedicated and risked their lives for justice across the globe.</p>

<p>"Well, we're really happy. This is our second Albies," the human rights attorney shared with a smile. "We hope to do it every year and it's really an honor to be able to put on a stage tonight five amazing people. Many of whom we worked with in Ukraine and Congo and Syria, and places that still, you know, sometimes seem to be forgotten."</p>

<p>The gala -- which was named after Justice Albie Sachs, who worked to end apartheid in South Africa -- honors courageous defenders of justice who are at great risk for what they do.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This year, the honorees included Congolese gynecologist and human rights advocate Dr. Denis Mukwege was presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award, as well as The Ukrainian human rights NGO Truth Hounds was honored with the Justice for Survivors Award.</p>

<p>The Justice for Women Award was presented to Iranian journalists Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, while the Syrian Center for Media and Freedom of Expression was presented the Justice for Journalists Award for their free speech and free press advocacy efforts. Finally, the Justice for Democracy Defenders Award was given to the organization Thai Lawyers for Human Rights.</p>

<p>"They're people who are really making a difference and it's amazing to be able to honor them tonight," Amal shared.</p>

<p>"We're lucky that we get to focus a lot of the attention we get on people that need attention. 'Cause we don't. So, it's fun to be able to. Especially tonight," George said. "This is a good way to spend this, you know, this equity, which is to say, 'Let's shine a light on people who may very well end up in jail for standing up for justice and standing up for democracy.'"&nbsp;</p>

George and Amal Clooney Channel Bride and Groom Glamour, Discuss Anniversary at 2023 Albie Awards (Exclusive) 

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jack-osbourne" rel="" target="_blank">Jack Osbourne</a> is a married man, and <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbournes-son-jack-reveals-she-predicted-her-mysterious-medical-scare-moments-before-212172" rel="" target="_blank">the TV personality and paranormal investigator</a> couldn't be happier.</p>

<p>Jack sat down with ET's Denny Directo earlier this week, and opened up about <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jack-osbourne-marries-aree-gearhart-see-their-wedding-portrait-211795" rel="" target="_blank">his low-key, intimate wedding to longtime girlfriend Aree Gearhart</a>, and how married life has been now that he's "locked down."</p>

<p>"It's been great, yeah," Jack shared, beaming. "We had an awesome wedding, we spent a few days in Santa Barbara afterwards, it was great."</p>

<p>The happy couple <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxdjyl2RtYb/" rel="" target="_blank">took to social media</a> on Sept. 21 to reveal that <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jack-osbourne-marries-aree-gearhart-see-their-wedding-portrait-211795" rel="" target="_blank">they tied the knot the week prior</a>, during a secret ceremony at the San Ysidro Ranch in California.</p>

<p>"It was an awesome, perfect, great weekend," Jack told ET. "Couldn't have asked for anything better."</p>

<p>Jack explained that the ceremony and reception were small, with only a few guests to share the special occasion with.</p>

<p>"We planned to always have a small wedding, then the plans changed a few times," he shared. "It all came together very quickly and it was just really nice.&nbsp;It was maybe like 25 guests, and it was perfect."</p>

<p>Jack explained that his parents, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbournes-son-jack-gives-update-on-her-condition-following-hospitalization-196183" rel="" target="_blank">Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne</a>, were among the very few people that knew the wedding was happening at all, explaining, "My mom had a hand in helping us put it all together."</p>

<p>"She loves a good event planning," he added. "And really, even at 25 people, it was larger than we had even thought it was going to be."</p>

<p>Osbourne and Gearhart went public with their relationship in 2019. The pair <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jack-osbourne-engaged-to-girlfriend-aree-gearhart-see-her-stunning-ring-177143" rel="" target="_blank">announced their engagement in 2021</a>. The following year, the couple <a href="https://www.etonline.com/jack-osbourne-welcomes-fourth-daughter-first-with-fiancee-aree-gearhart-188135" rel="" target="_blank">welcomed their first daughter together</a>, Maple.</p>

<p>Osbourne was previously married to Lisa Stelly from 2012 to 2019, and they share three daughters together -- Pearl, 11, Andy,&nbsp; 8, and Minnie, 5.</p>

<p>The special, heartfelt ceremony came just a few weeks ahead of the premiere of the new season of <em>Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror.</em></p>

<p>As it turns out, Jack <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbournes-son-jack-reveals-she-predicted-her-mysterious-medical-scare-moments-before-212172" rel="" target="_blank">also got some help from his mom for the new season of his show</a>, in which he investigates supposedly paranormal incidents and locations. However, things didn't go as planned when <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbournes-son-jack-gives-update-on-her-condition-following-hospitalization-196183" rel="" target="_blank">Sharon suffered a medical scare</a> and had to be rushed to the hospital while filming inside a California hotel that is believed by some to house an evil spirit.</p>

<p>"The medium we had do the walk-through said, 'This thing hates women.' And what happened was, we had pretty much wrapped for the night and we were like, 'Hey, let's just do one more experiment just before bed.' We had got a little bit of time left so, 'Mom, go in the room, put a blindfold on, and just sit quietly and ask questions and see what happens,'" Jack shared.</p>

<p>"And something weird happened. I can't explain what happened to her," he said, explaining that Sharon didn't faint exactly, but that her pulse dropped rapidly, her breathing turned shallow and she became unresponsive.</p>

<p>"Truth be told, I thought she'd had some kind of stroke, or some kind of aneurysm or something," he said. "But, when they took her to the hospital, she had every test done imaginable and they found nothing wrong with her."</p>

<p>Luckily for all involved, it seems that whatever caused the medical scare didn't cause any lasting damage for Sharon. Jack laughingly explained, "She was fine. She was shopping two days later."</p>

<p>While Sharon walked away OK, eventually, Jack said the experience has "one hundred percent" changed his thought process on how he undertakes paranormal investigations in the future.</p>

<p>The new season of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/jack-osbournes-night-of-terror" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror</em></a> kicks off Oct. 1 on Travel Channel.</p>

Jack Osbourne Dishes on His Intimate Secret Wedding to Aree Gearhart (Exclusive)

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/jack-osbourne" rel="" target="_blank">Jack Osbourne</a> isn't saying <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbourne-hospitalized-following-medical-emergency-196175" rel="" target="_blank">his mom's mysterious medical scare</a> and subsequent hospitalization last year was caused by an angry, dangerous paranormal force -- but he's also not ruling it out.</p>

<p>The TV personality sat down with ET's Denny Directo on Wednesday, and recalled the frightening incident that led to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/sharon-osbourne" rel="" target="_blank">Sharon Osbourne</a> getting rushed to the hospital for a mystifying ailment <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbourne-gives-health-update-after-hospitalizations-nobody-knows-why-196730" rel="" target="_blank">that was gone nearly as quickly as it came</a>.</p>

<p>"It was the first time my mom had accompanied me, actually, on an investigation," Jack said, recalling how he'd tried to get his mom to come film a segment <a href="https://www.etonline.com/see-sharon-osbournes-scary-medical-emergency-during-jack-osbournes-night-of-terror-exclusive-210170" rel="" target="_blank">with him for his show, <em>Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror</em></a>, for some time, but their schedules never worked out until that fateful day.</p>

<p>"We were lucky that there was a break in her schedule, and she was like 'Cool, I'll do it," Jack said. "And then I regret having her... it was gnarly."</p>

<p>At the location where they'd been filming that day, the Glen Tavern Inn in Santa Paula, California, Jack said there "had been reports of this room that we were in with some kind of strange evil entity."</p>

<p>"The medium we had do the walk through said 'This thing hates women.' And what happened was, we had pretty much wrapped for the night and we were like, 'Hey, let's just do one more experiment just before bed.' We had got a little bit of time left so, 'Mom go in the room, put a blindfold on, and just sit quietly and ask questions and see what happens,'" Jack shared.</p>

<p>"And something weird happened. I can't explain what happened to her," he said, explaining that Sharon didn't faint, exactly, but that her pulse dropped rapidly, her breathing turned shallow and she became unresponsive.</p>

<p>"Truth be told, I thought she'd had some kind of stroke, or some kind of aneurysm or something," he said. "But, when they took her to the hospital, she had every test done imaginable and they found nothing wrong with her."</p>

<p>Interestingly, Jack recalled how Sharon almost seemed to know that something bad was going to happen, although she likely didn't realize her flippant prediction would resemble what actually occurred.</p>

<p>"The funny thing was, before we went into the room, she was kind of getting tired. It had been a long shoot, sure. And she goes, 'Oh, I'm just gonna get possessed so we can go home,'" he said, adding that when Sharon first began to fall ill, he&nbsp;"thought she was screwing around."</p>

<p>"My camera guy was in the room with her and he radioed out to me on the walkie, he's like, 'Hey, I don't know what's going on.' And he's the camera operator and DP I've used for about 95 percent of all the paranormal shows I've done, so he knows. He's seen stuff.&nbsp;He himself is, like, experienced," Jack said. "And he was like, 'You got to come in. I don't know what's going on.'"</p>

<p>Jack shared that the same could <a href="https://www.etonline.com/sharon-osbourne-gives-health-update-after-hospitalizations-nobody-knows-why-196730" rel="" target="_blank">basically be said about all the doctors who looked at Sharon</a> in the days after the incident.</p>

<p>"The doctor was like, 'That's not fainting, so I have no idea, medically, what it is,'" Jack said, explaining how he'd shown the doctor the footage of his mother's medical scare. "All the top neurologists and cardiologist and everyone at St. John's were like, 'We don't know what this is.' So I don't know.... [and] she doesn't know."</p>

<p>"She just says, 'I have no idea what happened.' She just remembers sitting in the room, putting the blindfold on, and her next memory is her and ambulance," Jack shared.</p>

<p>As for the footage itself, Jack explained that it's "weird" and difficult to actually see unfold.</p>

<p>"It's hard watching it back, 'cause you're like, 'That's my mum, she's not doing so great.' But it's interesting from an investigative standpoint, because I think it's some really interesting paranormal evidence," Jack said. "What occurred in that room with her has clearly defied medical science. They don't know what it is, they don't know why it happened, they don't know what caused it."</p>

<p>"It is hard to watch though," he added.</p>

<p>Luckily for all involved, it seems that whatever caused the medical scare didn't cause any lasting damage for Sharon. Jack laughing explained, "She was fine. She was shopping two days later."</p>

<p>While Sharon walked away OK, eventually, Jack said the experience has "one hundred percent" changed his thought process on how he undertakes paranormal investigations in the future.</p>

<p>"I have always been the kind of paranormal investigator that was like, 'Man, I don't know about the evil stuff. I think it's all kind of, you know, that's a human take on things. It's very rooted in Judeo-Christian beliefs of good and evil, Heaven, Hell. Like, I always just thought that was us imprinting," he said. "But I don't know. It's definitely shaken the way that I see this stuff and it's made me realize that it isn't just fun and games."</p>

<p>It also has changed his future plans for incorporating members of his family. Jack explained that his sister, <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/kelly-osbourne" rel="" target="_blank">Kelly Osbourne</a>, did come with him on a few investigations months after his mom's scare, but he isn't likely to take Sharon to any more haunted locales.</p>

<p>"I won't bring my mom on investigations ever again," Jack said. "I think that's fair. We were one and done, right? [So] if she's not convinced by that, I don't know what else it is going to take."</p>

<p>The new season of <a href="https://www.etonline.com/watch-jack-osbourne-and-jason-mewes-search-for-bigfoot-in-night-of-terror-trailer-exclusive-184783" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Jack Osbourne's Night of Terror</em></a> kicks off Oct. 1 on Travel Channel.</p>

Sharon Osbourne’s Son Jack Reveals She Predicted Her Mysterious Medical Scare Moments Before (Exclusive)

<p><em><strong>*Caution: Spoilers ahead!</strong></em></p>

<p>After nearly four months of competition,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/americas-got-talent" target="_blank"><em>America's Got Talent</em></a>&nbsp;has crowned a season 18 champion!</p>

<p>It all came down to <a href="https://www.etonline.com/howie-mandel-gets-booed-by-americas-got-talent-audience-for-criticizing-youth-choir-in-finals" rel="" target="_blank">the Top 11 on Wednesday</a> -- which included singers, a stand-up comedian, a young magician, three dance crews, two choirs, and a record-setting total of five Golden Buzzer winners -- all of whom beat the odds to make it this far.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, only one could win the grand prize of $1 million and a special stage show at the Luxor in&nbsp;Las Vegas.</p>

<p>After a fun night of big celebrity cameos and memorable performances -- which took up the majority of the first hour of the big two-hour finale --&nbsp;host <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/terry-crews" rel="" target="_blank">Terry Crews</a> had the unenviable task of revealing the first results of the night, and slashing the Top 11 down to the Top 5.</p>

<p>The&nbsp;acts to make the Top 5 included the&nbsp;acrobatic duo the&nbsp;Ramadhani Brothers, the singer and pianist Putri Ariani, the trained dog act known as Adrian Stoica and Hurricane, magician Anna DeGuzman and the flawless dance group Murmuration.</p>

<p>Which meant we had to bid farewell to the talented songstress Lavender Carcangelo, the dance group Chibi Unity, comedian&nbsp;Ahren Belisle, the&nbsp;82nd Airborne Chorus, the Mzansi Youth Choir and the experimental dance crew&nbsp;Avantgardey.</p>

<p>After the Ramadhani Brothers came in 5th place, and Putri Ariani ended up coming in 4th, the whole season came down to Murmuration, Stoica and DeGuzman!</p>

<p>In one of the biggest upsets imaginable, the odds-on favorites to win, Murmuration, wound up in third place, leaving the judges absolutely shocked.</p>

<p>Mandel -- who gave Murmuration his Golden Buzzer during the audition rounds, was nearly at a loss for words, telling the group, "You know how much I&nbsp;love you. Your act, in my heart, is the best&nbsp;thing I have seen this season.&nbsp;I love what you do and I think&nbsp;you guys are just amazing.&nbsp;I don't know what to say."</p>

<p>This meant the whole season came down to the 24-year-old magician and an impressive dog act. Finally, after all the votes were counted, Crews announced the season's grand champion...</p>

<p>...&nbsp;and the winner is <strong>Adrian Stoica and Hurricane! </strong>Meaning the magical DeGuzman was the season's runner-up.</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SzkIk-N-Z-g&amp;ab_channel=America%27sGotTalent">&nbsp;</div>

<p>This marks only the second time an animal act has earned the grand prize after&nbsp;Olate Dogs were crowned the champs all the way back in Season 7.</p>

<p>After the show, ET's Denny Directo spoke with Stoica -- who was joined on the carpet by his talented pet and co-star Hurricane -- and the new <em>AGT</em> champ declared of the big win, "I feel good!"</p>

<p>"When Terry called our name, it was like, 'Woah!'" Stoica said wit a big smile. As for how he and Hurricane will be processing the development, he said he and Hurricane will be, "celebrating, [then] just taking a long, long walk and going home and just sleeping for two days, because we're very tired!"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RTvLtIjkyI&amp;ab_channel=America%27sGotTalent">&nbsp;</div>

<p>ET also spoke with Simon Cowell, and the outspoken judge said his 9-year-old son Eric predicted Stoica and Hurricane's surprising win.</p>

<p>"[He] called it last night," Cowell shared. "Yeah, he was at the show last night and he really loved it and he was waiting up for me when I got home...&nbsp;I [asked], 'Well, who do you think is going to win?' He said, 'Hurricane.'"</p>

<p>"Then I watched him and his friends when the names were called and he jumped out of his chair," Cowell added with a laugh.</p>

<p>Congrats to the season 18 champions!</p>

'America's Got Talent' Crowns Season 18 Champion -- See Who Took Home the Grand Prize!

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/the-masked-singer" rel="" target="_blank"><em>The Masked Singer</em></a>&nbsp;returned to TV for the season 10 premiere on Wednesday and introduced the fans to a whopping five new contestants who are duking it out from inside costumes for a shot at the coveted Golden Mask trophy.</p>

<p>Helmed by host&nbsp;<a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/nick-cannon" rel="" target="_blank">Nick Cannon</a>&nbsp;and overseen by stalwart panelists Robin Thicke, Ken Jeong, Jenny McCarthy and Nicole Scherzinger, Wednesday's exciting premiere saw The Gazelle, The Diver, The Cow, The S'more and The Rubber Ducky singing their hearts out for the audience votes.</p>

<p>The Gazelle was the first to hit the stage this week, and she brought with her both a regal ensemble and effortless grace, but also a voice that could win her the whole show.</p>

<p>The Gazelle kicked the night off right with a stunning performance of "Uninvited" by Alanis Morissette that showed off both her vocal range, her enthusiasm and her stage presence in a way that truly left the judges stunned.</p>

<p>"What a way to open season ten premiere, right?" Scherzinger shared. "Amazing! You completely commanded that stage."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zDu5pdccLE&amp;ab_channel=TheMaskedSinger">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Next up was The Diver, who rocked a truly epic costume -- an old-timey diving suit with an octopus attached to the helmet -- and brought some rocker energy to the stage with a big, confident, scenery-chewing performance of Journey's "Any Way You Want It."</p>

<p>The Diver hinted in his clue package that he'd gotten a lot of haters and critics in recent months, and that it had impacted his mental health. Jenny addressed the clue in her feedback sharing, "Can I just tell you something, Diver? You might've gone from a lot of haters, but you've got a lot of lovers now! Really amazing job."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNcCePRhfyU&amp;ab_channel=TheMaskedSinger">&nbsp;</div>

<p>Going from the watery world of The Diver to the fiery world of The S'more, Masked Singer introduced one of its famed food-themed characters next -- and this particular singing confection had one truly sweet voice.</p>

<p>The S'more surprised the judges when he delivered a sultry and surrealistic rendition of Niall Horan's "Slow Hands," which he capped off by seductively presenting Scherzinger with a trio of giant campfire-crisped marshmallows.</p>

<p>"That's the sexiest s'more I've ever seen!" Scherzinger marveled. "You have a beautiful voice. You swept me off my feet."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="1880bf96-6ef4-4e85-ac2c-913271d616d5" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The fourth singer of the night, The Rubber Ducky, might be the wildest, most complex and over-the-top weird costume since William Shatner's Knight back in season 8. The character is a giant rubber ducky who is taking a bath in a tub filled with bubbles.</p>

<p>The Rubber Ducky embraced the weirdness and belted out a cover of&nbsp;"Come On Eileen" by&nbsp;Dexys Midnight Runners that really delighted the audience and the panel. "I dare say this is the most fun performance of the night," Jeong shared. "I love everything about this. Amazing job!"</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="64a9741a-1db1-456e-9166-86074d6749ac" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>The fifth and final number of the jam-packed season 10 premiere came from The Cow -- who threw the panel for a loop with his surprising voice and truly commanding performance of&nbsp;Imagine Dragons' "Bones."</p>

<p>"Amazing!&nbsp;You are an absolute pro," Scherzinger marveled. "You were effortless on that stage,&nbsp;and you are moo-ving on up, honey, after that performance."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-entity-type="media" data-ctd-entity-uuid="4ea0587e-7c7c-4679-8493-7913b3180125" data-ctd-shortcode-id="image" data-ctd-view-mode="content_in"><span>&nbsp;</span></div>

<p>With all five acts having given it their best shots, it was time for the audience to vote -- and without any Battle Royale round for a second chance to save themselves, the lowest vote-earning celeb had to unmask.</p>

<p>After the judges made their final guesses about the singer's identity (where, shockingly, Jeong was the only one to actually guess correctly), it was time for The Rubber Ducky to "take it off," and he revealed himself to be Black-ish star <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/anthony-anderson" rel="" target="_blank">Anthony Anderson</a>!</p>

<p>"Ken, you finally got something right, baby!" Anderson declared with a broad smile.</p>

<p>Anderson also shared about his experience on the show, admitting, "I would have to say it is the most bizarre thing I've ever done. I'm naked up under these bubbles right here, right now. Don't let the tights below the knees fool you."</p>

'The Masked Singer': Rubber Ducky Sinks In Jam-Packed Season 10 Premiere -- See Who Was Under the Mask!

<p><a href="https://www.etonline.com/tv/dancing-with-the-stars" rel="" target="_blank"><em>Dancing With the Stars</em></a> kicked off season 32 on Tuesday night <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dancing-with-the-stars-season-32-premiere-sends-1st-couple-home-while-reality-stars-shine-bright" rel="" target="_blank">with a number of stellar first performances</a> -- and a few performances that seemed to leave the judges a little cold. Unfortunately for comic actor <a href="https://www.etonline.com/people/matt-walsh" rel="" target="_blank">Matt Walsh</a> and his <a href="https://www.etonline.com/gallery/dancing-with-the-stars-meet-the-cast-of-season-32-211290/koko-iwasaki-and-matt-walsh-93807" rel="" target="_blank">pro partner,&nbsp;Koko Iwasaki</a>, their cha-cha didn't quite make the grade.</p>

<p>On Wednesday, Iwasaki sat down with ET's Kevin Frazier, and the talented dancer opened up about <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dancing-with-the-stars-season-32-premiere-sends-1st-couple-home-while-reality-stars-shine-bright" rel="" target="_blank">her and Walsh's week 1 elimination</a>, lackluster scores, and why she feels the judges didn't give the performance a fair appraisal.</p>

<p>"I'm really bummed, you know? Quite disappointed, to be honest," she said of their ousting. "But at the end of the day, this experience with Matt, we went through so much in the last few weeks,&nbsp;and I wouldn't have changed it for the world."</p>

<p>"I've said this so many times, but I would have Matt every season if I could," Iwasaki added with a smile.</p>

<p>The pair hit the dance floor and the <em>Veep</em> star <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRMNuzh1eQ&amp;ab_channel=DancingWithTheStars" rel="" target="_blank">showed off his personality with a fun but seemingly unconventional cha-cha</a> set to "Poison" by Bel Biv DeVoe. Walsh got some praise for this enthusiasm, but the dance only earned the couple three 4s from judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough and Bruno Tonioli, for a total of 12 -- placing them at the bottom of the leaderboard.</p>

<p>"I don't think that he deserved 4s, I'll be honest. He wasn't the best dancer, you know, he's never danced before, it's something still new. But he was really great last night and he worked so hard," Iwasaki shared. "He's been through a lot, we've been through a lot together, and our journey was short, but I don't think he deserved 4s last night."</p>

<p>According to Iwasaki, the dance they did wasn't nearly as non-traditional as the judges seemed to feel it was, and the dancer expressed, "It wasn't his time yet! He did so well, we did real cha-cha."</p>

<div class="ctd-shortcode" data-ctd-shortcode-id="social-media" data-ctd-shortcode-url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubRMNuzh1eQ&amp;ab_channel=DancingWithTheStars">&nbsp;</div>

<p>After hosts <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dancing-with-the-stars-julianne-hough-and-alfonso-ribeiro-show-off-their-dance-moves-in-season-32" rel="" target="_blank">Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough</a> announced that Walsh and Iwasaki had been eliminated, Walsh used his brief moment to thank his partner and to encourage the judges to rewatch their routine and give it some consideration. Iwasaki said she "would hope" the judges might do so.</p>

<p>"We really did do cha-cha. We did authentic cha-cha steps, he did so many technical things and of course, you know, [it was] never perfect, but we embraced the imperfections," she said. "I think, for what we had time for, he did incredible. And it was only just his beginning, and I wish America could've seen all the different sides of him, you know? All the different techniques and all the different &nbsp;flavors he had."</p>

<p>Walsh and Iwasaki's journey together was particularly challenging as <a href="https://www.etonline.com/dancing-with-the-stars-will-no-longer-postpone-season-32-premiere-211784" rel="" target="_blank">Walsh temporarily decided to walk out from the show</a>, amid calls to boycott the show for going forward amid the WGA strike. However, with the <a href="https://www.etonline.com/writers-guild-of-america-strike-will-officially-end-wga-votes-to-lift-order-after-148-days-212077" rel="" target="_blank">WGA reaching a deal with the AMPTP</a>, and SAG granting Walsh permission to appear, things got back on track.</p>

<p>"When he did walk out, it obviously gave us less time to rehearse, because we couldn't rehearse during those days, so I think mentally and emotionally it was really hard on us," Iwasaki shared. "It was kind of like this roller coaster of emotions. We were going through ups and downs and being hopeful and then, you know, not. So at the end of the day, I'm so happy we were able to dance and just show America what we've been working on."</p>
