Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding venue has been a well-kept secret for months, with everyone speculating where the big event will go down -- and now the NYPD's top cop is throwing fuel on the fire!

The New York Police Department commissioner, Jessica Tisch, sat down with the city council for a budget hearing Monday in Manhattan, and at one point was asked about overtime funding for her officers.

Tisch ran down a laundry list of major events throughout July that might require police overtime, such as the city's July 4 celebration, the Sail 250 military parade, the NBA Finals, and the FIFA World Cup.

A South Carolina convenience store owner has been cleared in the shooting death of a Black 14-year-old boy back in 2023, after a jury found him not guilty of murder.

ICYMI, Asian business owner Chikei Rick Chow shot and killed Cyrus Carmack-Belton in June 2023 after he allegedly stole from his store. Prosecutors alleged Chow chased the teen 130 yards from his store and sent a bullet through his back in an act of rage after he wrongly assumed he had taken four bottles of water, according to reports.

Chow's defense lawyer said he fired at the teen because he allegedly pointed a gun at his son. Carmack-Belton was confirmed to have a semiautomatic pistol at the time of the incident, but it fell to the ground during the chase, according to prosecutors. He allegedly never threatened anyone with it.

Mackenzie Shirilla is mocking her hometown as she rots in prison ... ripping the good folks of Strongsville, Ohio.

Mackenzie and her mother even suggest folks back home are spreading false information about Mackenzie online ever since she was arrested and convicted of murdering her boyfriend Dominic Russo and his friend Davion Flanagan.

The wait is over! A new season of "Love Island USA" has arrived, and these hot bods are bound to get more than a few nods 😜

Justin Gaethje has some things in common with the 1980 U.S. Olympic hockey team -- he's a huge underdog like the boys were in Lake Placid -- and he's gunning to replicate that American Pride with his main event fight against Ilia Topuria at the White House!

"I get to control my destiny. What an opportunity. This is 'Miracle On Ice' type of energy that I'm trying to drive into this country," Gaethje told Babcock on Monday.

"I have an opportunity to do something special and I could not ask for anything better. I think 250 years ago, I think we were definitely bigger underdogs. And look where we are now. So I'm ready."

Justin says he understands he's an American fighting a man born across the Atlantic Ocean at an event celebrating the 250th birthday of the country ... and that brings extra pressure.

Rick Adelman, who spent nearly 3 decades in the NBA as a coach, has died at the age of 79, the National Basketball Coaches Association announced on Monday.

The cause of death is unknown.

After seven seasons in the National Basketball Association as a player, Adelman joined the Portland Trail Blazers as an assistant coach in 1983 ... serving in the role until 1989 when he was hired as head coach.

Adelman coached the Blazers, led by now Hall of Famer Clyde Drexler, to two NBA Finals ... before being let go in 1994.

Rick wasn't without a job for very long, spending only one season away from the bench.

Coach Adelman went on to serve as head coach for the Golden State Warriors (2 seasons), Sacramento Kings (8 seasons), Houston Rockets (4 seasons), and the Minnesota Timberwolves (3 seasons).

Adelman's time in Sacramento was especially successful. He led the Kings to eight straight playoff births.

SAC remembered their former head coach after his passing, describing him as a "beloved coach whose leadership, character, and vision helped define an era of Kings basketball that inspired our city and captivated fans around the world."

The Kings added ... "Coach Adelman represented the very best of Sacramento basketball, and he will be remembered for the way he inspired those around him – with humility, integrity, kindness, and an unwavering belief in the power of teamwork. His leadership helped establish a culture that continues to resonate throughout our organization today."

"Our thoughts are with Mary Kay, his family, friends, former players, and all who loved him.”

In total, he spent 29 years on an NBA bench as coach -- 23 of them as head coach -- wracking up an astounding 1,042 wins.
