Taylor Swift is skipping traditional save the dates and doing things her own way ... 'cause TMZ has learned she is personally calling celeb friends to give them a heads up about her upcoming wedding to Travis Kelce.

Sources with direct knowledge tell us it's not like Taylor's mailing out save the dates ... she's picking up the phone and calling guests herself.

Charles Barkley believes there are "a bunch" of gay athletes throughout all pro sports ... but the reason they aren't open about their sexuality is that even in 2026, society remains largely homophobic.

The Chuckster shared his thoughts as the "Inside the NBA" crew remembered Jason Collins on Wednesday ... and while the 47-year-old coming out as the first active gay player in 2013 was a historic moment for the league, it's clear he feels there's more work to do.

As Kenny "The Jet" Smith said an announcement like that might not be as big of a deal in present day because of Collins' bravery -- Barkley disagreed.

50 Cent and Eminem just gave fans a full on nostalgia moment ... reuniting courtside in Detroit like it was the early 2000s all over again.

Cardi B and Stefon Diggs might not be as chummy as they looked over Mother's Day weekend ... because we've obtained video of them engaged in an intense debate in Maryland.

For those who aren't in the Daddy Gang, Cooper said he "can't get a f***ing contract" ... and even though she didn't name him, everyone knew it was about Thor.
