Quinn Ewers made his political support clear ahead of one of the biggest games of his life.

Ewers’ Texas Longhorns are hosting the Clemson Tigers in the first round of the College Football Playoff, and members of Texas’ football team arrived dressed to impress.

Ewers rocked a navy blue suit with white pinstripes, a red tie and a gold tie clip.

The clip had “Trump” engraved on it.

Ewers seemed to show support for the president-elect when he shared a picture of Trump holding his fist in the air shortly after the assassination attempt on Trump’s life in Butler, Pa.

After Trump won the presidential election, Ewers also shared a graphic of Trump and JD Vance on his Instagram story, captioning it “Legendary.”

DEION SANDERS SAYS HE’LL ‘MAKE SURE’ TRAVIS HUNTER PLAYS OFFENSE AND DEFENSE IN NFL

Athletes have shown support for Trump since he won the election. Perhaps the most notable tribute to Trump has been players mimicking the president-elect’s YMCA dance.

San Francisco 49ers star Nick Bosa wore a “Make America Great Again” hat after a game in October, a move that cost him an $11,000 fine.

Trump attended the Army-Navy game last week, and it could be argued his attendance led to the game’s highest viewership of all time. Over 9 million people watched the Midshipmen’s 31-13 victory over the Black Knights.

The president-elect has also attended NFL games and UFC events this year.

The NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed police officer resigned abruptly Friday amid bombshell allegations he demanded sexual favors from his subordinates on the force, the latest scandal to rock the NYPD and the Adams administration. 

The sudden resignation of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey came just hours before Lt. Quathisha Epps, who holds an administrative post in Maddrey’s office, filed a sexual harassment complaint against him with the state Division of Human Rights, according to documents obtained by Fox News Digital.

Epps claims Maddrey “engaged in a quid pro quo sexual harassment” by coercing her into performing unwanted sexual favors in exchange for overtime opportunities in the workplace.

The complaint also alleges Maddrey forced Epps to “take care” of another female officer, “to subject that officer to unwanted sexual advances and conduct, including sexual intercourse, within the workplace.”

Epps also accuses Maddrey, who is married, of maintaining an inappropriate sexual relationship with another female detective, subjecting Epps to “further sexually offensive conduct in person and through her cellular phone.”

The NYPD said in a press release Saturday morning that NYPD Chief of Patrol John Chell had taken the position of interim chief of department Friday night and that Philip Rivera is now interim chief of patrol.

The release made no mention of Maddrey, but the NYPD on Saturday confirmed to Fox News Digital that Maddrey had resigned from the NYPD, although the agency would not provide a reason. 

“Police Commissioner Jessica S. Tisch accepted the resignation of Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey Friday night, effective immediately,” an NYPD spokesperson said via email. “The NYPD takes all allegations of sexual misconduct seriously and will thoroughly investigate this matter.”

NYC MAYOR ERIC ADAMS BELIEVES FEDERAL CHARGES AGAINST HIM ARE POLITICALLY MOTIVATED: ‘DID NOT BREAK THE LAW’

Epps made headlines earlier this week when the New York Post, citing payroll records, revealed she earned a whopping $400,000, including roughly $204,000 in overtime alone last year, for her administrative job in Maddrey’s office. She claims in the filing that Maddrey cooked her overtime figures in October after she started rejecting his advances.

She says that led to a criminal and internal investigation against her in retaliation. 

Epps, in the complaint, said she met with Maddrey earlier this week with the intention of leaving the force after she says she was portrayed publicly as an “overtime abuser.” She says Maddrey demanded a sexual favor, to which she complied. Afterward, she filed for retirement from the NYPD via a Vested Interest Retirement Pension.

A spokesperson for Adams said his office is “deeply disturbed by these allegations, and the NYPD is investigating this matter.”

“Mayor Adams is working in close coordination with Police Commissioner Tisch as the NYPD conducts a separate department-wide review to ensure no high-ranking officers are using their power inappropriately. We will refrain from commenting further to avoid jeopardizing either investigation.”

The controversy is the latest turmoil to hit the NYPD. Former Commissioner Edward Caban resigned in September amid the swirling federal investigation surrounding New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

Adams then appointed Tom Donlon, a former FBI counterterrorism expert, as interim commissioner, and he was replaced after two months by Tisch, who was then appointed on a permanent basis.

Adams was indicted by a federal grand jury in September and faces five charges, including bribery, soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, wire fraud and conspiracy. Federal prosecutors charged Adams with accepting luxury travel perks and illegal campaign contributions from a Turkish official and other foreign nationals looking to buy his influence. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.

Ingrid Lewis-Martin, a top adviser to Adams, resigned Sunday and has since been indicted on bribery charges. 

Prosecutors said Lewis-Martin and her son raked in over $100,000 and got other help in exchange for her speeding approvals for construction projects. She has pleaded not guilty.

President-elect Trump announced on Saturday that he has tapped the creator of “The Apprentice” to serve a diplomatic role in the United Kingdom.

In a Truth Social post, Trump named Mark Burnett, a British-American TV producer who was born in London, as the next U.S. special envoy to the United Kingdom.

“It is my great honor to appoint Mark Burnett as the Special Envoy to the United Kingdom,” the president-elect said. “With a distinguished career in television production and business, Mark brings a unique blend of diplomatic acumen and international recognition to this important role.”

In addition to creating Trump’s former show “The Apprentice,” Burnett also created “Shark Tank” and led production of other programs such as “Survivor” and “The Martha Stewart Show.” In his Truth Social post, Trump said that the producer had created some of the “biggest shows in Television History,” and touted his achievements.

“He is the former Chairman of MGM, and has won 13 Emmy Awards!” the Republican wrote. “Mark will work to enhance diplomatic relations, focusing on areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment opportunities, and cultural exchanges. Congratulations Mark!”

No one is currently serving as a U.S. Special Envoy to the United Kingdom. Special envoy roles are typically temporary in nature and meant to fulfill a specific mission, though Trump did not specify the purpose of the role in his announcement.

Earlier in December, Trump tapped Warren A. Stephens to serve as the U.S. ambassador to the Court of St. James, also known as the U.S. ambassador to the United Kingdom.

“Over the last 38 years, while serving as the president, chairman, and CEO of his company, Stephens Inc., Warren has built a wonderful financial services firm, while selflessly giving back to his community as a philanthropist,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“Warren has always dreamed of serving the United States full-time. I am thrilled that he will now have that opportunity as the top Diplomat, representing the U.S.A. to one of America’s most cherished and beloved Allies.”

Burnett did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

‘Tis the season for Tom Cruise‘s famous Christmas cakes. 

The Hollywood actor gifted the decadent dessert to his top celebrity friends this year, including “Top Gun: Maverick” co-star Glen Powell.

Powell, 36, took to Instagram to share that he received Cruise’s annual coconut cake.

As 2024 winds down and Americans look forward to all that is set to happen in 2025, here’s a look at some wild wedding stories that made people laugh, cry and even cover their mouths in shock over the past year. 

Brides, grooms, wedding party members and others shared their personal stories — while etiquette experts and others weighed in with professional opinions and advice.

There were plenty of tales to pick from, but here are five over the past year that stood out.

REDDIT USER WHO REFUSES TO HELP ‘OBESE COUSIN’ AT WEDDING IS NOT WRONG, THERAPIST INSISTS

Which one takes the cake for most surprising of them all? 

1. Couple charged guests to attend wedding day

A couple tied the knot in New York City on June 24, 2023, but their unusual wedding-day choices did not go viral until more than a year later.

Kareem (“Reemo”) and Nova Styles charged guests $333 each to attend the “wedding experience,” which amounted to a full day of activities throughout the city, as they described in their video. 

The two pared down their guest list to just 60 people. 

“They chose us,” said Nova Styles in a TikTok video. “They ‘hashtag’ trusted the process by purchasing a ticket to attend our wedding.”

After the wedding ceremony, the guests went to Hudson Yards, a movie theater and One World Trade Center for dancing, food and merriment – with photo shoots occurring along the way, Nova Styles said in the videos. 

2. Betrayed bride made lemonade out of lemons

An anonymous woman in the Bay Area found herself with a nonrefundable wedding reception venue and a called-off wedding – so she did the next best thing. 

She donated the venue to Parents Helping Parents (PHP), an organization that provides support to children and adults with special needs, as well as their families.

“The family of the bride shared that our agency, Parents Helping Parents, provided services for the family in support of the bride’s sibling, who has special needs,” said Maria Daane, executive director of PHP.

PHP decided to use the already paid-for space to host “a party for people with disabilities 0 to 100,” Fox News Digital previously reported.

The party, dubbed the “Ball for All,” was complete with food, music, dancing, and a photo booth.

Daane said she got a phone call from the family of the bride two weeks before the scheduled wedding. 

PHP moved quickly. Within three days, the event was planned down to the catering, said Daane.

“I imagine weddings are canceled now and then, but never have I heard of one turned into a community party for those with disabilities and their families,” Daane said. 

“It makes me feel grateful for the resilience and kindness of people — that this bride could do something so generous and thoughtful in the face of her own sadness is inspiring,” she added.

3. Father of the bride forgot something very important

An amusing story from England showed that mistakes can happen to anyone – even on one of the most important days of someone’s life.

WEDDING GUESTS CAN LEAVE EARLY ON ONE CONDITION, ACCORDING TO AN ETIQUETTE EXPERT

Neil Crossley, dad of daughter Amy Totty, who was married in Yorkshire, England, in 2024, had an embarrassing moment captured on film. 

At Totty’s wedding, Crossley started walking down the aisle toward the altar — without his daughter.

He said there was a “miscommunication,” and he thought that he had been instructed to begin walking. 

Crossley eventually turned around, fetched his daughter, and proceeded on a much more traditional march down the aisle.

Guests can be heard on video laughing at the awkward moment, which Crossley said he later referenced in his father-of-the-bride speech. 

His daughter particularly got a kick out of the whole mix-up.

“I especially appreciated it as I was trying very hard not to cry, and he helped me compose myself,” Totty said. 

She added, “It was a special moment none of us will forget.”

4. Hungry wedding guest took matters into own hands

A Reddit user who was kicked out of a wedding reception after he drunkenly ordered pizzas to replenish the depleted buffet got the last laugh after he revealed the bride’s father apologized and planned a replacement party. 

“AITA for ordering pizza at my friend’s wedding because there was no food?” asked user “Adorable_Distance_15” in a post on the “r/AITAH” subreddit, an advice forum.

In the post, the man said he and his wife recently attended his friend’s wedding, which had about 70 guests, “mostly family.” 

The bride’s family, however, ate all the food at the buffet before all the guests could go for their first plates.

“To my surprise, by the time we were called, there was nothing left,” he wrote. 

Adorable_Distance_15 and other hungry guests then ordered four large pizzas and some chicken wings to the venue. 

“Now you have the nerve to ask us to share.”

As the pizzas ran out, the trouble began. A man, who turned out to be the bride’s father, asked if he could have one of the remaining two slices.

“I then took the two slices, I put them on my plate and started to eat them, then looked at him and said something like, ‘No, you and everyone at your tables had way more than your fair share of the buffet and ate all of it. This is the reason we ordered food in the first place. And now you have the nerve to ask us to share,’” he wrote.

A Reddit user (not pictured) said there would be another party planned to make up for the botched reception.  (iStock)

These comments got the man kicked out of the reception — but after emotions cooled, the father-of-the-bride apologized.

To make up for the wedding reception issues, the father-in-law planned to throw an “after-wedding shindig” for everyone who was at the original wedding, plus other people, said the Reddit poster

5. Bride and groom put their guests to work

A couple who informed their wedding guests they would be put to work on the special day had their actions described as “tacky, tacky, tacky” by a horrified Reddit user.

Earlier this year, Reddit user “joyousfoodie” posted about her cousin’s upcoming wedding, which she described as a “semi-destination wedding” that would be relatively small. 

For more Lifestyle articles, visit www.foxnews.com/lifestyle

While the woman said she was fine with both the location and size of the wedding, several aspects of the upcoming wedding did concern her.

“I just found out that the wedding couple are sending ‘cards’ to people [who] are not invited that they are getting married soon and ‘you are in our hearts on this special day’ before the wedding,” she wrote.

“Their excuse is for the sake of ‘curiosity and thinking of them,'” joyousfoodie wrote, “but what I don’t understand is why send this before the wedding?” 

The action that prompted the Reddit post, however, was a text from the couple stating that “everyone has a role to help set up.” 

The couple texted, “Everyone has a role to help set up.”

“Once the ceremony is done, the wedding party will leave to take photos while the guests set up the tables for the reception,” said the woman in her text. 

The couple never asked guests if they would be willing to help out and “just dictated [to] people what to do,” the Reddit poster said. 

The couple claimed they could not afford to hire help to set up at their wedding, but the Reddit poster said the couple “went traveling” instead of saving up for their big day.

Other Reddit users told “joyousfoodie” to skip the affair altogether.

“That’s when you decide you are sick and do not go. They are being horrible hosts, and frankly, it’s gross,” user “byteme747” said. 

Another Reddit user was a bit more blunt. “The only reason I’d go to this is morbid curiosity,” wrote “Obrina98.” 

The next installment in the “James Bond” franchise is still in development limbo due to a rift between the series’ main producer and its new owners, Amazon.

In a report from The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), longtime Bond producer Barbara Broccoli and Amazon — which bought MGM studios in 2021 — are in an “ugly stalemate” over decisions about the future of the franchise. These include decisions on whether Bond should be turned into a streaming series, or more philosophical ones, like whether the titular character is even a hero.

“I have to be honest, I don’t think James Bond is a hero,” one Amazon executive said during a recent meeting about upcoming Bond content, the outlet reported. That quote seemed to point to Broccoli’s fear that Amazon does not understand the very character that she has dedicated her career to.

DANIEL CRAIG CONFIRMS HE’S DONE WITH JAMES BOND AFTER WRAPPING ‘NO TIME TO DIE’

Broccoli, who has had creative control over the “007” film franchise for over thirty years, “has told friends she doesn’t trust algorithm-centric Amazon with a character she helped to mythologize through big-screen storytelling and gut instinct,” WSJ reported.

According to the report, the relationship between Broccoli and Bond’s new owners is so rocky, that as recently as this fall, Broccoli “characterized the status of a new movie in dire terms—no script, no story and no new Bond.” This lack of momentum in the franchise nearly three years after the last movie, 2021’s “No Time To Die” is unprecedented for a series that used to have an installment nearly every year or two since it began in the 60s.

“These people are f— idiots,” Broccoli has reportedly told her friends about Amazon executives. 

WSJ spoke to 20 people familiar with the Amazon-Broccoli feud to understand the nature of the stalemate, writing that it “boils down to a clash between the 20th-century Hollywood of big screens and big swings and a new entertainment industry ruled by Silicon Valley firms that prize data, algorithms and streaming subscriptions.”

DANIEL CRAIG SAYS HE’S DONE WITH JAMES BOND: ‘ALL I WANT TO DO IS MOVE ON’

Broccoli “has complained that Amazon isn’t a good home for Bond, since the company’s core business is selling everything from toilet paper to vacuums,” the report stated, though it noted she didn’t speak out against Amazon purchasing MGM because she “didn’t want to complicate what many in Hollywood viewed as a massive payout for MGM’s owners.”

As part of the deal, MGM executives ensured that Amazon committed to putting Bond on the big screen instead of relegating the franchise to a streaming series. The outlet noted that when one eager Amazon executive floated the idea of various Bond TV spin-offs, including a potential “Moneypenny” spin-off, or a female 007 spin-off, Broccoli shot the idea down.

“Did you read the contract?” she reportedly replied.

For the last several years, Broccoli has fended off a variety of ideas within the industry that Bond could take on a different identity in terms of gender or race in upcoming films. But as the outlet reported, she believes the spy “should always be played by a man, and should always be played by a Brit.”

CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTURE

WSJ also mentioned Broccoli shooting down Bond villain ideas inspired by current real-world figures that some people see as evil. 

“’Elon Musk?’ she said to one friend. ‘I did that back in 1997.’” Broccoli was referencing the villain from that year’s 007 franchise, “Tomorrow Never Dies.” The outlet described that villain as “a wealthy tycoon whose global media empire includes a satellite network.”

Liberal media outlets and Democratic lawmakers have grasped onto a new talking point recently, as the incoming administration gets ready to enter the White House — Elon Musk is a “shadow” president, taking the reins from President-elect Donald Trump.

WSJ rounded out its report with one last example of the tense relationship between Broccoli and Amazon. It noted that during her acceptance speech at a film industry awards show in November, “she did not mention Amazon.” 

Amazon did not reply to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

• President Joe Biden on Friday agreed to provide $571.3 million in defense support for Taiwan, the White House said.
• The State Department approved the potential sale to the island of $265 million worth of military equipment.
• This follows what Taiwan said was China’s largest massing of naval forces in three decades around Taiwan and in the East and South China Seas last week.

President Joe Biden on Friday agreed to provide $571.3 million in defense support for Taiwan, the White House said, while the State Department approved the potential sale to the island of $265 million worth of military equipment.

The United States is bound by law to provide Chinese-claimed Taiwan with the means to defend itself despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties between Washington and Taipei, to the constant anger of Beijing.

TRUMP CABINET PICKS DELIGHT TAIWAN, SEND STRONG SIGNAL TO CHINA

Democratically governed Taiwan rejects China’s claims of sovereignty.

China has stepped up military pressure against Taiwan, including daily military activities near the island and two rounds of war games this year.

Taiwan went on alert last week in response to what it said was China’s largest massing of naval forces in three decades around Taiwan and in the East and South China Seas.

Biden had delegated to the secretary of state the authority “to direct the drawdown of up to $571.3 million in defense articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, to provide assistance to Taiwan,” the White House said in a statement without providing details.

Taiwan’s defense ministry thanked the United States for its “firm security guarantee,” saying in a statement the two sides would continue to work closely on security issues to ensure peace in the Taiwan Strait.

The Pentagon said the State Department had approved the potential sale to Taiwan of about $265 million worth of command, control, communications, and computer modernization equipment.

Taiwan’s defense ministry said the equipment sale would help upgrade its command-and-control systems.

Taiwan’s defense ministry also said on Saturday that the U.S. government had approved $30 million of parts for 76 mm autocannon, which it said would boost the island’s capacity to counter China’s “grey-zone” warfare.
