Celebrities Flock to Celebrate Knicks' Historic NBA Win: What Happened?

A-list celebs celebrated after the Knicks clinched an NBA championship on Saturday with a Game 5 win against the Spurs.Prince Harry, Timothée Chalamet, Ben Stiller, Tracy Morgan, Sydney Sweeney and more stars were in the crowd as the Knicks put away the Spurs 94 to 90 to clinch their first championship since 1973. Chalamet, a NYC native and longtime Knicks fan, celebrated on the court with star center Karl-Anthony Towns shortly after the final whistle blew. “Way rather this than the Oscars, c’mon baby,” the actor, who has been nominated for four Academy Awards, said post-game. “Knicks are champions, baby!”Longtime Knicks fan Timothée Chalamet celebrated the team’s victory on Saturday. Getty ImagesBen Stiller, another lifelong Knicks fan, was also on hand when the team won. NBAE via Getty Images Getty ImagesCardi B, another native New Yorker, recorded herself watching the game and screaming in elation when the Knicks won.The massive victory in San Antonio comes after a nail biter on Wednesday — the Knicks came from behind with a stunning comeback victory, securing a win of 107-106. Taylor Swift, 36 — who stayed in NYC with fiancé Travis Kelce for Game 5 — attended Game 4 and was spotted shouting with pal Mariska Hargitay after the jaw-dropping victory, which the “Law & Order: SVU” star later called “the greatest night of [her] life.”“I love my husband, and our wedding night was great and all, but I think it might have been the greatest night of my life,” the actress, 62, told the Hollywood Reporter earlier this week.

FranklinThe longtime Knicks superfan detailed Game 4’s defining moments in a statement to the outlet, calling it “brutal.”“The game was so brutal, down 29 at the half, but I’m telling you, to watch this team fight and claw their way back — to see that look in Jalen [Brunson’s] eyes — there are just endless life lessons in there,” Hargitay wrote. “And then OG [Anunoby] comes flying in, his orange and blue cape fluttering behind him, and then it’s just pandemonium.”Prior to the Game 5 victory, Chalamet and Kylie Jenner supported the team at Game 4 on Wednesday in NYC.

Jason Szenes for the New York PostBrunson had a look in his eye that was visible even from the stands. It was noticeable everywhere in the arena.He was in the middle of one of the great Finals performances in NBA history. He knew it. His teammates knew it. The Spurs knew it.Everyone knew it. And there was nothing anyone could do to stop it until it was over. Until the final score read Knicks 94, Spurs 90 and the celebrations began Saturday night at the Frost Bank Center.Until the Knicks were officially champions.“It’s everything I dreamed of,” Brunson said. “This is why I came to New York.”Knicks center Karl-Anthony Towns, right, hugs Mitchell Robinson after they win the NBA championship on June 13, 2026.

It was the first time he allowed himself to release any sort of emotion. His job was done.Brunson scored eight straight Knicks points in the second quarter as the Knicks shaved a 16-point deficit to five by halftime. He scored 14 in the third quarter as the Knicks clawed back from a 15-point deficit.Then he saved his best magic for the fourth quarter, when he scored 13 straight Knicks points to turn another double-digit deficit into Knicks glory. The Knicks trailed by 10-plus points all five games of this series.

Taylor Swift's Unexpected Broadway Move Leaves Fans Buzzing New

Taylor Swift's Unexpected Broadway Move Leaves Fans Buzzing

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce are enjoying quality time together at the theater. The couple, both 36, stepped out for a theater date night, attending a performance of Oh, Mary! at New York City's Lyceum Theatre on Saturday, June 13. The “Fate of Ophelia” singer and the Kansas City Chiefs tight end arrived discreetly after the show had already begun, but they didn't go unnoticed by fellow theatergoers. According to videos shared on social media, the pair laughed together during the show, with Kelce often leaning toward Swift whenever a joke landed. At one point, the play’s star Maya Rudolph appeared to acknowledge the NFL star's presence in the crowd by delivering a line about audience members needing to leave for “a game,” prompting an enthusiastic response from Swift. Swift's excitement continued through the curtain call. In footage captured by an audience member, the Grammy winner jumped to her feet and raised her arms high above her head while giving the cast a standing ovation. Kelce followed her lead as the rest of the audience rose to applaud. The couple, who got engaged in August 2025, also took the time to head backstage and pose for photos with the cast, including Rudolph, as well as the show’s director and producers. After the performance, Swift and Kelce were snapped leaving the theater hand in hand. In a fan video shared via social media, they were seen brandishing wide grins as they exited the venue together. Oh, Mary!, which was written by and originally starred Cole Escola, offers a hilarious take on the life of Mary Todd Lincoln. Since its Broadway debut in 2024, the critically acclaimed comedy has become a hot ticket among celebrities, drawing a steady stream of famous faces to the theater. Swift and Kelce’s Broadway outing comes after the "Shake It Off" singer faced backlash for attending an NBA game earlier this week. The singer sat courtside wearing Knicks-themed attire at Madison Square Garden during Game 4 of the 2026 NBA Finals on Wednesday, June 10. It prompted questions over whether the “Bad Blood” hitmaker was really a Knicks fan. ESPN personality Monica McNutt, 36, was caught on a hot mic expressing doubt that Swift’s support of the basketball team was genuine. “She’s not a Knicks fan. Get out of here, girl,” McNutt was heard saying in a clip that went viral. The following day, McNutt backtracked while speaking to TMZ Sports after being shown old photos of Swift wearing Knicks merchandise over the years. “I misspoke. I did not know,” McNutt said.

Trump's Bold Peace Deal: The Secret Behind the $25B Asset Unfreeze New

Trump's Bold Peace Deal: The Secret Behind the $25B Asset Unfreeze

Iran has agreed not to build a nuclear weapon and to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, in return the US will release some $25 billion in frozen assets as part of a President Trump-brokered peace deal, according to details released by Tehran on Sunday.Iranian officials were cautiously optimistic that a deal to finally halt the conflict which has raged for three and a half months, throwing world markets into chaos, was on the horizon.On Saturday, US President Donald Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said a deal would be signed on Sunday and would immediately result in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, the crucial chokepoint through which a fifth of the world’s oil supplies flow.Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Frank E.

AP Photo/Amirhosein KhorgooiAn Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson said that the deal could happen in the next few days.The deal, which would see $25 billion in Iranian assets unfrozen by the US, does not solve all issues between Tehran and Washington, but offers a 60-day framework for technical discussions on the issues, according to officials from Pakistan.The US would also end its blockade of Iranian-linked ships coming out of the strait.Shipping traffic through the narrow sea passage — through which 20% of the world’s oil flowed before the war — has has slowed to a trickle.Qatari negotiators flew into Tehran Sunday morning in coordination with the US to help facilitate the finalizing of the agreement, an official told the New York Times.A signing ceremony was reportedly expected for the coming days in Geneva, Switzerland, where US and Iranian negotiators met for talks in February before the start of the war.President Donald Trump speaks with reporters in the Oval Office on June 11. Shawn Thew – Pool via CNP/ShutterstockVice President JD Vance would potentially be the head of the US delegation, while Iran is sending its top negotiator, parliamentary speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf.However, on Sunday, there were conflicting reports over whether Iranian officials were being scrambled to travel abroad soon.Iran’s Foreign Ministry insisted Saturday there were no plans for his negotiating team to travel to Geneva or elsewhere in the next day or two.President Trump is expected to remain in Washington to attend Sunday’s UFC fight at the White House, which coincides with his 80th birthday.The apparent break in the log jam comes as Israel’s military announced Sunday it had launched strikes on neighboring Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah infrastructure in the capital, Beirut.Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were in response to Hezbollah attacks on the north of the country.Tehran, which is Hezbollah’s main backer, last responded to Israeli strikes on Beirut with its own strikes on Israel last weekend.Iran has also insisted previously that any US-Iran ceasefire must include an end to Israeli strikes on Lebanon.

Seth Rogen is standing by a decision that ended one of Hollywood’s most recognizable creative partnerships.Years after James Franco’s career was derailed by sexual misconduct allegations, Rogen says nothing has changed when it comes to where they stand today — professionally or personally.Rogen was recently asked about his longtime friendship with Franco, whom he collaborated with on a string of hit projects, including “Pineapple Express,” “This Is the End” and “The Interview” before publicly distancing himself from the actor following allegations that surfaced in 2018.When asked how he navigated ending such an important friendship, Rogen acknowledged the topic remains deeply personal.“I mean, I’m trying to think how much I want to personally share about this,” Rogen told The New York Times’ “The Daily” podcast.During the interview, it was noted that society continues to grapple with questions surrounding accountability, forgiveness and whether public figures who have behaved badly should be welcomed back into people’s lives.Franco and Rogen at the premiere of “The Interview” in Los Angeles, December 11, 2014. REUTERSRogen declined to delve into details but made clear his position has not changed.“I honestly think the nuance of it is too personal for me to get into right now. It is a very personal thing, and I think there’s like the public-facing side of it, which I’ve spoken about, and I have the same stance publicly that I’ve had,” Rogen said.“And I think the proof is in the pudding more than anything. I have not worked with him in years, you know, but the personal side of it is just … it’s so nuanced, and it involves people that I don’t know if I should be dragging into this,” he continued.“I don’t know what I would benefit from getting deeply into it in this moment, but I’d say everything I’ve said … nothing has changed really since the last time I talked about all this.”Rogen and Franco at a screening of “Pineapple Express” in New York City, August 4, 2008. Marion Curtis/Startraksphoto.comRogen then delivered his clearest statement yet about the future of their relationship, saying, “I haven’t worked with him in a really long time, and I have no plans to.”When asked whether he still speaks to Franco, Rogen responded, “I haven’t talked to him in a long time, no.”The comments come as Franco attempts to rebuild his acting career, years after multiple allegations of inappropriate sexual behavior surfaced.The actor was first accused of sexually inappropriate conduct by five women in a Los Angeles Times report published in January 2018.Franco at a screening of “Find Your Friends” at the Vista Theatre in Hollywood, June 1, 2026. Xavier Collin/Image Press Agency / BACKGRIDA year later, former students filed a class action lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging Franco and his associates pressured students into performing explicit scenes on camera and engaged in inappropriate behavior toward female students at an acting school he co-founded with business partner Vince Jolivette.According to the complaint, the women alleged they paid monthly tuition to attend the school and were subjected to intimidation and sexual objectification while being promised potential acting opportunities.Franco agreed to settle the lawsuit in June 2021, signing off on a payment of $2.235 million.Despite the controversy, Franco has slowly returned to acting and reflected in 2024 on the fallout during an interview with Variety while promoting the Italian film “Hey Joe.”“I’m so grateful to be working,” Franco said. “I did go through a lawsuit, and during that lawsuit, I wasn’t working. But then COVID hit, so everybody wasn’t working. So, I don’t know, it was all … I mean, we were all kind of in it. So, it was sort of like, ‘I don’t know what I am.’”Franco also addressed the collapse of his friendship with Rogen, revealing that despite his efforts, the two have not reconnected.“No. I haven’t talked to Seth,” Franco told Variety. “I love Seth. We had 20 great years together, but I guess it’s over. And not for lack of trying. I’ve told him how much he’s meant to me.”Franco is best known for his roles in “Spider-Man,” “127 Hours” and other Hollywood hits.

World Cup Chaos: NYC Brought to a Standstill New

World Cup Chaos: NYC Brought to a Standstill

The beautiful game made an absolute mess of the Big Apple Saturday, as mass gridlock shuttered Midtown streets and left traffic snarled to make it easier for fans to get to MetLife Stadium for the region’s first World Cup match. Travelers were especially impacted around Penn Station and Madison Square Garden, where streets were closed to speed up shuttle buses for fans heading across the Hudson River to North Jersey to watch Brazil play Morocco. About 1.2 million soccer fans were expected to hit the hosting NYC area for the world’s biggest sporting event.“It is chaotic,” said soccer fan Tim Bouman, who was wearing a Brazil shirt and visiting from the Netherlands. Mass gridlock rocked the Big Apple Saturday with traffic snarling to a screeching halt as major Midtown streets were shuttered to facilitate travel to MetLife Stadium for the region’s first match in this year’s World Cup. Bloomberg via Getty Images“I just got my [World Cup] tickets online yesterday, and I’m just asking the cop, like, right now, where we need to go? One cop told us to go this way, and the other one told us to go the other way, and now we need to walk around again.”Bouman said he believes NYC is more focused on the New York Knicks and their quest for an NBA title than on dealing with the World Cup.“I think if the [World Cup] was in Europe, it would have been, like, way more organized, for sure,” he said.NY Transit trains at Penn Station were strictly reserved for World Cup ticketholders for much of Saturday, leaving everyone else seeking to use the service scrambling to find Uber, buses and other alternate means of transportation.“It’s a little bit annoying right now because I can’t get my home train, … so now I have to make alternate plans on how to get home,” said Jennifer Charles of Lyndhurst, New Jersey, who was stranded for hours at Penn Station after traveling to the Big Apple to pick up her daughter.Authorities — including NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani — should have done a much better job alerting the public of the anticipated commuter apocalypse, said Charles, 40.“I just feel that the people in power should be better organized … telling people the trains aren’t running, because now how am I supposed to get home?” she ripped. About 1.2 million soccer fans were expected to hit the hosting NYC[-New Jersey area for the world’s biggest sporting event. USA TODAY Network via Reuters ConnectTo add to the area chaos, the NYPD also set up a “frozen zone” around MSG Saturday to weed out non-ticketholders due to other overlapping events: a Knicks “watch party” outside The Garden for Game 5 of the NBA Finals, and a 5 Seconds of Summer concert inside “The World’s Most Famous Arena.”Alex Rotali said she was under the impression from various media reports that NJ Transit would run normally until 2 p.m., and was “flabbergasted” to learn it shifted to strictly to World Cup routes 90 minutes earlier.“It’s really aggravating ‘cause we’re already late” after being redirected numerous times at Penn Station because of the match, said Rotali, who was with her two children and planning to travel to a waterpark in East Hanover, New Jersey, for her son Jamir’s ninth birthday.“I might just take an Uber, to be honest, as expensive as that might be, … like $90-something dollars, but I have no choice at this point, because it’s gonna take even longer now with everything.”Soccer fans also found the process confusing.In many cases, they arrived at the NJ Transit entrance of Penn Station at 32nd and Seventh Avenue, only to be directed across the street to head north to 33rd St — which was closed to vehicle traffic and lined with extra buses—so they then walked east on Sixth Ave and enter the line at 32nd Street.And then they had to deal with jacked-up prices of $98 for a round-trip from Penn Station to MetLife — rather than the standard $12.90 fare.“We got our [NJ Transit] tickets ahead of time. Very expensive,” said Anna Crew of Waco, Texas, who was wearing a Brazil jersey. “But then there’s no instructions on how to get [to the trains], but we’ve been able to ask a couple people, and they’ve given us pretty good directions.”Former Knick Steve Novak welcomed Saturday’s frantic scene, saying it’s “New York City at its finest.”“You have the Knicks and the NBA Finals,” the ex-sharpshooting forward told The Post outside MSG. “Obviously, the scheduling didn’t anticipate it… And obviously, now that the World Cup is in town, it’s just its sports heaven.”Mamdani and the city’s Department of Transportation have declared “Gridlock Alert” days for each of the eight days a World Cup game will be played at MetLife, running from Saturday through July 19. Besides the Penn Station restrictions and temporary streets closures and bus-only corridors, truck deliveries will be heavily restricted from 30th to 60th Streets, from noon and 11:00 P.M.
