News broke this week that the upcoming season 24 NCIS will bring back one of its origin characters. Michael Weatherley will reportedly reprise his role as Tony DiNozzo.

The headlines making the noise this week is about the storybook romance of Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift. Rumor has it that a celebration at Madison Square Garden with 100 guests (Thursday) and nearly 1,000 tonight is happening. Reports have swirled about the affair everything from specific dress codes to a castle being built (PEOPLE reports this is false) inside the venue. There are also multiple reports that the pair did already marry (earlier this summer) and these wedding related events are merely celebrations with a wider group of people.
The pair met three years ago when the Kansas City football player, Kelce attended Swift’s Eras tour. From there, he publicly shared he tried to share a friendship bracelet with her only there was no meet and greet. This led to a date and now wedding events in NYC
