'Mind-Blowing' Details Revealed for Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes' SteakhouseNew Foto - 'Mind-Blowing' Details Revealed for Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes' Steakhouse

'Mind-Blowing' Details Revealed for Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes' Steakhouseoriginally appeared onParade. Travis KelceandPatrick Mahomesfinally have an opening date for their highly anticipated Kansas City Steakhouse, 1587 Prime. The duo announced on Monday, Aug. 18, that the time is finally (almost) here, with the doors of their newest business venture set to open to the public for the first time in just a few weeks, with reservations opening up even sooner. "Precision in every detail. Power in every bite," they promised in the caption of a video uploaded to Instagram, which found the pair taste-testing some of their offerings. "What's better than to break bread with people over good food, good drinks, cool vibes?" the tight end asked, adding, "The menus are just mind-blowing." View this post on Instagram A post shared by 1587 Prime (@1587prime) The quarterback and tight end's debut into the culinary world is set to start serving its anxious customers on Wednesday, Sept. 17. Reservations open up beginning this Wednesday, Aug. 20, at 12 p.m. CST, but there's no word yet on what platform they'll be accepted through. 1587 Prime is located in the Loews Kansas City Hotel in downtown Kansas City. The steakhouse's menu hasn't been revealed yet, though you can get a glimpse at a few of its delectable-looking options in the video above. We do know it promises one of the largest wine collections in the state, but as far as specialties or other menu items go, its website isn't telling—yet. "Let's go KC!!! 🔥," Kelce exclaimed in the comments of their announcement video, and the Kansas City Chiefs star's fans brought the same energy. "Can't wait!!" several noted, while another felt certain that "Anything these two open up is gold 🥂.""As if KC could GET ANY BETTER ✨✨✨so excited!" another wrote. "OMG that carpaccio looks f'n amazing," somebody called out one of the menu previews. "Omggggggg." "Now I gotta fly to KC. Ok. Twist my arm," someone else quipped, as another agreed, "*schedules a babysitter immediately*." The football besties first announcedtheir "one-of-a-kind dining experience"in March of 2024, so it's safe to say it's been a long time coming. 1587 Prime—a combination of their jersey numbers, if you didn't realize—was initially anticipated to open early this year, but good things come to those who wait. The space is expected to span about 10,000 square feet across two floors, with several private dining rooms that are said to include "hyper-subtle nods to Patrick and Travis' on-field accomplishments."

Jodie Sweetin Shares 1 Piece of Advice She'd Give Her Younger Self (Exclusive Clip)New Foto - Jodie Sweetin Shares 1 Piece of Advice She'd Give Her Younger Self (Exclusive Clip)

Jodie Sweetin Shares 1 Piece of Advice She'd Give Her Younger Self (Exclusive Clip)originally appeared onParade. Jodie Sweetinestablished her career as an actress at a very early age when the first season of the beloved ABC sitcom,Full House, premiered in 1987. Sweetin, who was just four years old when she began playing Danny Tanner's (Bob Saget) middle daughter Stephanie Tanner, opened up about childhood stardom in her 2009 memoir,unSweetined. Fans of the actress can listen to the newaudiobookversion of said memoir once it's released on August 19. Sweetin, who narrated the upcoming audiobook that features new exclusive content, shared her advice to her younger self during the process of recordingunSweetined. "One piece of advice that I would give my younger self is that this is all so short, this whole life thing. Don't let other people's opinion of you dictate who you get to be. It's not worth it," said Sweetin in the behind-the-scenes video. Sweetin opened up about maintaining a sense of normalcy while starring in a popular television series in a February 2025 interview onThe Vault Podcast. "It's because I had very normal parents. My mom was with me on [theFull House] set everyday. And she wanted none of the fame. Neither of my parents would ever want to perform or speak in public. Nothing. So they knew it was something I loved when I was really little. I said I wanted to do it," said Sweetin in the interview. In addition, she said that she "never thought it was a big deal that [she] was on TV." "I just thought I was like everybody else. So it was an interesting way to grow up. Because so many people assume something about you before they meet you," said the actress. Sweetin said, however, that she struggled with her sense of identity afterFull Houseended in 1995. She also noted that she was adopted when she was under 2 years of age, which contributed to said concerns about her identity. In addition, Sweetin referenced that she had struggled with addiction in adulthood before her eventual recovery. "And then add on the top of that, this layer of me being adopted when I was like 14 months old. And so, I think also that sense of I think all teenagers go through of like who am I, where am I, who do I look like, what do I act like? You know, that sense of identity," said Sweetin, who reprised her role as Stephanie in the 2016 Netflix rebootFuller House, during the podcast interview. "At 13, I lost the show and was trying to figure out, sort of, who I was in comparison to my parents who were raising me, versus what I knew about my biological family. So I had a lot of stuff going on anyway. I always say that I think I would have had some of my struggles regardless of being on TV or not. But it definitely added a whole other thing to it of 'Who am I outside of who people think I am?'"

Taylor Swift releases new 'The Life of a Showgirl' album cover after teasing fans with cryptic purple countdown on her websiteNew Foto - Taylor Swift releases new 'The Life of a Showgirl' album cover after teasing fans with cryptic purple countdown on her website

What was Taylor Swift counting down to on her website today? It appears to be ... a vinyl drop. She announced thefirst and only pressing of the "Shiny Bug" collection, which features a "wintergreen & onyx marbled" vinyl as well as a "violet shimmer marbled vinyl" option. Each features the same new photo of Swift in a bejeweled black leotard, sparkly black gloves and fishnets. The new vinyls are only available until Aug. 20 or until supplies last. This is not the first time that Swift has announced new vinyls forThe Life of a Showgirl. She previously revealed variants of her album that came with corresponding vinyls during the initial album announcement. She currently has the"sweat and vanilla perfume Portofino orange glitter" vinyl, which is orange and green, on her website. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) Fans initially speculated that the pop star was preparing something major after a purple countdown appeared on Swift's website on Aug. 18. The site featured a ticking clock against a glittery purple background, with the countdown ending at 2 p.m. ET. Merchandise sales were temporarily disabled, fueling theories that a major drop was coming. Swift's website wasn't the only place purple was being used to promote whatever the announcement would be. When fans typed "Taylor Swift" into Google, purple confetti rained down on the screen. A red fiery heart emoji also appeared, with a purple text block that read, "And, baby, that's show business for you." This mirrored the Google animation ahead of Swift'sLife of a Showgirlalbum reveal, except this time the orange was swapped for purple. Swift's Apple Music page also featured the same glittery purple imagery. Fans online speculated about what the purple could mean. Some were certain that it was tied to a merch drop forThe Life of a Showgirl. Others were hopeful that the purple countdown would signal therelease of the album's first single. Some fans had even bigger theories: they believed the countdown could end with the reveal thatThe Life of a Showgirlwas actually a double album, with the second album featuring a purple color scheme. TikToker Britton Rae said ina videothat Swift's antics were making her feel "a little delulu," aka "delusional," and convinced that another album was coming — especially since Swift officially announcedShowgirlat exactly 12:12 a.m. on Aug. 12. "She was very adamant that this album only had 12 tracks on it," Rae said, pointing toSwift's New Heights podcast interview with boyfriend Travis Kelce. "What if there's another album that also has 12 tracks on it, and that's why we've done the 12:12?" Others speculated that the countdown could lead to an Eras Tour documentary. One TikToker pointed out ina videothat the purple glitter "could maybe lead to the behind-the-scenes of the Eras tour, sinceThe Life of a Showgirlis 'behind the curtain.'" The user also noted that Swift had filmed unseen footage from her final three shows of the Eras Tour in Vancouver. Fans speculated that the pop star was preparing something major after a purple countdown appeared on her website on Aug. 18. The site featured a ticking clock against a glittery purple background, with the countdown ending at 2 p.m. ET. Merchandise sales were temporarily disabled, fueling theories that a major drop was coming.
