Entertain This
"Bachelor in Paradise" is back.
The sandy beaches of Costa Rica are set, and a new crop of eligible singles, along with stars from the Golden Bachelor franchise, are ready to mingle.
The popular spinoff of the network's flagship reality dating show "The Bachelor" (and its sister program "The Bachelorette"), "BIP" follows contestants from seasons past as they inevitably entangle themselves in love triangles, squares and sometimes even pentagons.
Season 10 kicks off with several notable members of Bachelor Nation, including Dale Moss, "Bachelorette" Clare Crawley's onetime final pick, and two of "Bachelorette" Jenn Tran's final four – Jeremy Simon and Jonathon Johnson.
New episodes promise the same signature drama but with a few twists: the season will be shot in Costa Rica, not Mexico; fan favorite Hannah Brown will join Well Adams as bartender. Some "Golden" Bachelor contestants will make their way to the sandy shores to prove you're never too old for vacation fun.
On June 16, ABC announced Kathy "Zip It" Swarts, April Kirkwood, Natasha Hardee and Leslie Fhima from 'The Golden Bachelor,' Season 1 will join their younger counterparts in "Paradise." And Keith Gordon, Jack Lencioni, Charles 'CK' King, Ralph "RJ" Johnson, Gary Levingston and Kim Buike will join from the first season of "The Golden Bachelorette" will also return.

Jason Kelce Reveals Update on Offseason Move on Friday
Jason Kelce Reveals Update on Offseason Move on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce may be retired from the NFL, but he has been keeping himself busy lately. Advertisement He and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, have been hosting the "New Heights" podcast, which has become very popular in recent months. Over the last few years, he has also hosted something called the "Beer Bowl," which is essentially a drinking competition that is part of the "Team 62 Fundraiser." The fundraiser has supported a good cause — the Eagles Autism Foundation. It will take place on Wednesday in the Jersey Shore town of Sea Isle City, and Jason Kelce made an announcement about it on his Instagram account. He announced that a donor lottery will be held to determine who will attend the "Beer Bowl." Anyone who donates a minimum of $25 will be eligible to win, and a total of 30 donors will be chosen. Jason Kelce shared an update on the "Beer Bowl."Jason Kelce, Instagram This will be the fifth straight year the event will take place. Last year, it reportedly raised nearly $1 million for the Eagles Autism Foundation. Advertisement The Eagles Autism Foundation looks to raise money for the care of and research into autism spectrum disorder. According to a website affiliated with the foundation, "the Center for Disease Control estimates that 1 in 31 people under 21 living in the United States are on the autism spectrum, making it the fastest-growing developmental disorder." Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce (62) walks off the field after overtime win against the Buffalo Hartline-Imagn Images Jason Kelce, of course, was a beast on the field throughout his 13-year NFL career, the entirety of which was spent with the Eagles. He was named to the Pro Bowl seven times and the All-Pro First Team six times, and he helped Philly win the Super Bowl championship during the 2017 campaign. He should be a shoo-in for the Pro Football Hall of Fame as soon as he becomes eligible to be inducted.

Shaquille O'Neal's Strong Response to Travis Kelce's Personal Request originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On the latest episode of the "New Heights" podcast, hosted by Travis and Jason Kelce, the special guest was none other than NBA legend and current ESPN analyst Shaquille O'Neal. With three big personalities in one room, the conversation was entertaining, unpredictable, full of laughter, candid moments and off-the-wall stories. Advertisement Shaq, never one to hold back, brought his signature humor and larger-than-life presence to the show. The trio talked about everything from their playing careers and media work to behind-the-scenes moments and a shared love for music. But two highlights stole the spotlight: Travis asking O'Neal for DJ advice so he could one day open for his girlfriend, Taylor Swift. Travis didn't hold back when he asked the four-time NBA champion. "You go to get me on the DJ booth, you got to teach me your ways, dog." O'Neal, known in music circles as DJ Diesel, replied: "I got you. I got you. You know what's crazy? You open up for your girlfriend and you'll be a [expletive] star." Advertisement That had both Kelce brothers cracking up, especially Travis, who added, "You know I'm a hype man. You know I'm a hype man. I'll have Swifties bouncing off the wall before Tay gets out there." Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Deutsch-Imagn Images Travis Kelce is gearing up for another season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The veteran tight end, who turns 36 this year, played with Kansas City since being drafted in 2013 and helped lead the team to three Super Bowl victories. Jason Kelce, meanwhile, recently retired after a remarkable NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles. Drafted in 2011 out of Cincinnati, he was a key figure in the Eagles' Super Bowl LII win and earned seven Pro Bowl selections. Advertisement O'Neal, 53, was a regular on TNT's NBA coverage throughout the playoffs. With the network's NBA coverage coming to an end, Shaq joined a new broadcasting team at ESPN. Drafted No. 1 overall by the Orlando Magic in 1992, he played 19 seasons in the league and won four NBA championships.

Travis Kelce Reveals Taylor Swift Plan to Jason Kelce
Travis Kelce Reveals Taylor Swift Plan to Jason Kelce originally appeared on Athlon Sports. You never quite know what you're going to get when it comes to Jason and Travis Kelce's podcast, "New Heights." Episode 143 just dropped, and it was full of entertaining moments from the always-engaging brothers. Advertisement Last week, Travis and his girlfriend Taylor Swift made headlines for attending Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals in Sunrise, Florida. Although Edmonton won that game, Florida clinched the series on Tuesday night. On the podcast, the Kelces talked briefly about their recent travels, but one standout moment was Travis sharing his thoughts on underrated movies. His pick? "Pretty Woman" starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere. He mentioned that he and Taylor have been meaning to watch it. 'That's been on me and Tay's movie list for a while.' The episode had plenty more to offer, including a fun segment where their mom joined the cast of the reality show "Traitors." Advertisement Meanwhile, Travis is gearing up for another NFL season with the Kansas City Chiefs, the only team he's played for since being drafted out of the University of Cincinnati. The three-time Super Bowl champion also made 10 Pro Bowl appearances. Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Biggerstaff-Imagn Images There had been some speculation about his football future following the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, but Travis confirmed he'll be back for another run. Here's what he said about returning. "I think the biggest thing is that I [expletive] love playing the game of football. I love playing. I still feel like I can play it at a high level and possibly at a higher level than I did last year. I don't think it was my best outing." he said. Advertisement "I think I let my guys down in a lot more moments than I helped them, especially if you look at my track record and how I've been in years past. I want to give it a good run. I got a bad taste in my mouth in how I ended last year, and how well I was playing and how accountable I was to the people around me." Kansas City opens its preseason schedule on Aug. 9 against the Arizona Cardinals. The regular season kicks off Sept. 5 in Brazil against the Los Angeles Chargers.
