Taylor Swift steps out with Travis Kelce in New Orleans as Blake Lively snubs Super Bowl amid Justin Baldoni lawsuit

TAYLOR SWIFT put on a loved-up front with beau Travis Kelce as they rocked up in New Orleans ahead of the Super Bowl tonight. But there was one regular noticeably missing from T’s girl squad as the couple dined with her man’s Kansas City Chiefs teammates — her BFF Blake Lively. I am told that the actress will not be joining the singer to watch Travis take on Philadelphia Eagles in the NFL clash after all the recent drama surrounding Blake’s latest movie It Ends With Us.

The explosive feud between co-stars Blake and Justin Baldoni reached new heights after Taylor was referenced in the ongoing legal drama between the pair. In Justin’s countersuit, he claims Taylor was at a meeting at Blake’s New York penthouse over a rewrite of a scene and she tried to intimidate him by using her relationships with hubby Ryan Reynolds and Taylor by calling them “absolute titans” as well as her “dragons”.

A US source said: “It’s been decided that Blake will stay away from the game to avoid unwanted attention, especially as the legal saga is playing out so publicly. “She wants Taylor to have her moment supporting Travis and wouldn’t want to take anything away from his big day. “They all understand how the industry works and, with so much heat on Blake now, an appearance at such a high-profile event would be too sensational. They both want to focus on the positive.”.

Taylor is planning to watch tonight’s game from a £1.6million suite at the Caesars Superdome with a gaggle of celebrity pals joining her. Last year, as well as Blake, she was joined in her viewing box by fellow singer Lana Del Rey, rapper Ice Spice and actor Hugh Jackman. Travis was victorious last year when his team beat the San Francisco 49ers. So hopefully Taylor will be his good luck charm once again . . .

LOVE Island star Chris Hughes is in the running to appear on Celebrity Big Brother in the spring. Chris appeared on the 2017 series of the ITV reality show but has since become a TV sports correspondent and CBB will be a good next career move for him. But a source said: “Chris will be a great addition to the house. He is really entertaining and has a massive social media following. "Execs are hoping he will bring his huge young fanbase with him to the show, along with some juicy tales.

“He’s got loads of showbiz mates and famous ex-girlfriends – he will be brilliant.”. The star, who grew up on a farm, has dated Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson and pro golfer Annabel Dimmock. CELEBRITY Bear Hunt star Lottie Moss has shared a confession set to make host Holly Willoughby blush. The OnlyFans model says she had a threesome with a US rapper during a wild after- party in the Hollywood Hills.

She recalls how the top hip-hop star, who she had just watched in concert, summoned her and a pal to a bedroom at his swanky pad. Lottie said: “He was like, ‘Right you two, upstairs’, and we ended up shagging him in a threesome.”. Lottie, younger sis of supermodel Kate Moss, has dated Love Islander Adam Collard and The Vamps’ drummer Tristan Evans. She’s currently single and looking for love on dating apps. Get swiping, guys . . .

THE Super Bowl has created quite the fringe festival with brands hosting parties in the days leading up to the big event. GQ mag threw their first GQ Bowl – a livestream red carpet and runway event in New Orleans on Friday. Guests included SZA and Eiza Gonzalez. Meanwhile, Bradley Cooper is expected in the crowd at Caesars Superdome as he is a huge Eagles fan. The actor has even been flogging his own Philly cheesesteak from a food truck outside.

KENDRICK LAMAR is being secretive about plans for his half-time Super Bowl show. The only confirmed performer to be joining the rapper, above, on stage is SZA, but fellow hip-hop acts Doechii and Black Hippy are rumoured to be appearing. Fans are hoping Dr Dre might show. A source said: “There are surprises in store.”. Meanwhile, Lil Wayne and Drake have both confirmed they will be no-shows. Meh. THE Super Bowl adverts are the other showstopper at the event with a 30-second spot costing £6.45MILLION and viewing figures expected to reach a staggering 120million people.

The celeb line-up on telly includes singer Charli XCX, actor Matthew McConaughey and media businesswoman Martha Stewart for Uber Eats, Hollywood’s Ben Affleck and Jeremy Strong for Dunkin’ Donuts and a reunion for When Harry Met Sally stars Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal to flog Hellmann’s mayonnaise. Meanwhile, Chris Hemsworth and Chris Pratt have filmed a commercial for Meta. All raking in mega bucks, I’m sure . . .
