Russell Wilson spoke out after his name turned up in the DOJ’s recent dump of documents connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The Super Bowl-winning quarterback’s name was among the celebrities, rappers, and VIPs who continued emailing Epstein after his 2009 conviction for procuring a minor girl for prostitution.

“NOPE!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT! Not TODAY satan!” he wrote. “Some Random plane broker tried to sell me a plane. I had no idea whose plane and never bought the plane. Never talked nor Never met the man. Thank God !!!”

The NFL icon, who recently played for the New York Giants, is not the only member of the Giants organization to be mentioned in the Epstein documents dump.

Giants part-owner Steve Tisch also emailed Epstein, according to The Athletic.

The emails show Tisch and Epstein discussing adult women and organizing meet-ups with them.

Tisch offered Epstein free tickets to watch a NY Giants game in his private suite at the stadium.

Epstein invited Tisch to fly to his private Caribbean island on his Lolita Express private plane.

In a statement provided to Daily Mail, Tisch said: “We had a brief association where we exchanged emails about adult women, and in addition, we discussed movies, philanthropy, and investments.”

He continued: “I did not take him up on any of his invitations and never went to his island. As we all know now, he was a terrible person and someone I deeply regret associating with.”

In 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge of procuring a girl below age 18 for prostitution.

On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested on human trafficking charges. He was jailed at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in NYC, where he hanged himself on July 23, 2019.

Sherri Shepherd’s popular daytime talk show “Sherri” has been canceled after 4 seasons.

On Monday, Lionsgate’s producer and distributor confirmed that the talk show won’t be renewed for a 5th season, according to Variety.

“This decision is driven by the evolving daytime television landscape and does not reflect on the strength of the show, its production – which has found strong creative momentum this season – or the incredibly talented Sherri Shepherd,” Debmar-Mercury said in a statement. “We believe in this show and in Sherri and intend to explore alternatives for it on other platforms.”

“Sherri” will continue to air its 4th season until the fall. Sherri’s show replaced “The Wendy Williams Show” in 2022 amid Wendy’s health concerns.

“I don’t take it for granted that people welcome me into their homes daily,” Sherri said last year when the show was renewed for Season 4. “I work so hard to bring escapism to viewers’ lives through joy, laughter and inspiration, and I’m grateful that the audience has embraced what we do. I look forward to raising the bar and turning up the volume as we plan for our season four return.”

“Sherri” aired its first episode on Sept. 12, 2022. She earned 6 Daytime Emmy nominations, and won two NAACP Image Awards.

Also on Monday, Kelly Clarkson announced that her talk show will end after 7th seasons.

Kelly quit her talk show to focus on her 2 children by her late ex-husband Brandon Blackstock, who died of cancer in August 2025 at age 48.

Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her bed and “dragged” from her home near Tucson, Arizona, police say.

Nancy, 84, was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills around 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, January 31.

A rep for the Pima County Sheriff’s Office says Nancy is believed to have been abducted from her $1 million home in the upscale neighborhood. The rep said investigators are looking at registered sex offenders in the area.

Police are combing through video footage from nearby homes, businesses and traffic cameras.

Sources tell Naughty But Nice that security has been ramped up around Savannah’s family, and multiple Today show hosts.

“This is not routine,” one senior network insider tells Naughty But Nice. “NBC security has been in active talks with law enforcement all day. This is being treated with extreme caution.”

Additional private security guards have been quietly put in place at studios, residences, and during travel — not just for Savannah, but for other on-air talent as well.

The sheriff’s office is communicating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which investigates kidnapping and missing persons cases.

Customs and Border agents are also involved in the case, TMZ reports.

Savannah is set to drop out of hosting the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday, February 6.

Savannah planned to stay in Italy for a week to cover the Winter Olympics alongside former co-host Hoda Kotb.

“There is no universe where Savannah gets on a plane to Italy right now,” one senior NBC source said. “She’s devastated. Family comes first. Period.”

“Everyone is shaken,” another insider said. “Savannah is devastated, but she’s also being protected. The network is fully behind her.”

South African comedian Trevor Noah took a shot at rapper Nicki Minaj for not attending the 68th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles, California on Sunday.

Hollywood stars distanced themselves from Nicki after she showed support for President Donald Trump and the conservative movement.

“Nicki Minaj is not here, not here. She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues,” Trevor joked, as the audience roared.

He then imagined a conversation between Nicki and Trump at the White House as he did a Trump impression:

“Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass. I have it. Everybody is saying it, Nicki. I know they say it to you, but it’s me. Look at it baby: WAP, WAP, WAP.”

Nicki clapped back in a post on X, writing, “God will not be mocked.”

“As they do their ritual tonight, God almighty will reveal himself to them. The ritual will backfire on them. God will not be mocked. Blessed is the MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. Every tongue that rises up against me in judgement shall be condemned & put to shame.”

Nicki also revealed an open secret that Trevor is gay and he refuses to come out of the closet.

“Trevor refuses to come out the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly,” she tweeted.

On Monday, a video clip surfaced on X, showing Trevor and a friend being approached by a vendor on the street.

“Excuse me, are you Trevor Noah?” the man asked him. “Hey, what’s up? Good to meet you man,” Trevor said, as he and his friend quickly walked away.

Other than Trevor being in a rush to avoid the camera, nothing in the video suggests the two men are in an intimate relationship.

Nigerian singer Ifunanya “Nanyah” Nwangene died Saturday after being bitten by a venomous snake as she slept. She was 26.

Ifunanya is best known for her appearance on Season 3 of “The Voice Nigeria.”

She died at a Nigerian hospital, her choir director Sam C. Ezugwu confirmed in a Facebook post on Sunday.

“Amemuso Choir regrets to announce the sudden demise of our beloved Soprano, Ifunaya Nwangene. A rising star, Ifunanya was on the cusp of sharing her incredible talent with the world.”

According to BBC Africa, a snake bit Ifunanya, waking her up in the middle of the night. She went to a hospital seeking help, but the hospital didn’t have anti-venom in stock.

She was sent to another hospital but she died before she could receive the anti-venom.

Two venomous snakes were later found inside her house.

The singer died 2 days after she teased a new song with Nigerian musician Tbrass.

“An irreplaceable loss to the Abuja music society and Nigeria at large,” TBrass wrote in a post on Instagram. “My hand and heart feels very heavy writing this, because it is unimaginable losing such a young promising great, talented music artist who touched so many lives, it is very heartbreaking—especially in Nigeria where music runs deep in our souls and connects us all.”

Fans were heartbroken on social media.

One fan wrote: “Sing with the angels in heaven darling. I knew you since the days of ‘The Voice Nigeria’. It is well. So unbelievable.”

Another fan wrote: “The stage is heaven now. Sing to the angels and rest in eternal harmony. Forever in our hearts.”

A third person commented: “I will definitely tell my unborn children about the Angelic voice that captured my heart on the 27th of December 2025 at my church House on the rock Abuja. I still have the beautiful video I took while you were singing, girl.”

Nancy was last seen in her $1 million Catalina Foothills home around 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, January 31.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office received a call from Nancy’s church when she didn’t show up on Sunday morning.

Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators found “disturbing signs” at her home. He said she had limited mobility and she did not leave home on her own.

“She was very limited in her mobility… We know she didn’t just walk out of there,” Sheriff Nanos said during a press conference on Monday.

He said foul play couldn’t be ruled out based on the scene inside the home.

Nancy’s purse, cell phone, wallet, and medication were found inside the house. Her car was parked at the house.

“We believe now that we do in fact have a crime scene… This is an 84-year-old lady who suffers from some physical ailments… is in need of some medication. Medication that if she doesn’t have in 24 hours, it could be fatal.”

Nanos said Nancy showed no signs of dementia or cognitive decline.

He said she is “sharp as a tack,” and she did not wander off.

Nancy’s husband died of a heart attack when Savannah was 16. Savannah has 2 older siblings.
