Mike Vrabel dodged multiple questions off-camera pertaining to the Dianna Russini photo scandal following his lengthy statement on the matter.

After his Tuesday speech during the pre-NFL draft press conference at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts, one reporter asked the New England Patriots head coach if he has “any thoughts” about Russini’s resignation from her position at the Athletic in the wake of the scandal.

“I respect and I appreciate every single question, but I’m not going to be able to comment on anything as it relates to that. I appreciate your job and what you guys have got to do, but I have to make my comments and what I answer about our football team,” Vrabel responded, per 98.5 The Sports Hub.

Another reporter asked the former linebacker if he still stands by his initial statement to Page Six, in which he called any implication from the photos “laughable.”

“I think I’ve addressed what I felt like was important,” Vrabel said, according to the outlet.

When asked by a third reporter how he’d characterize his conversations with ownership about the scandal, Vrabel said “those will be in [confidence],” and once again tried to shift all inquiries to focus on his team.

Also during the questioning, Vrabel revealed that he had “had conversations and questions” from his players about the scandal and spoke about not letting it become a distraction as they gear up for the draft.

Tuesday’s press conference was the first time Vrabel spoke to reporters since Page Six obtained photos him and the NFL reporter holding hands and hugging at an Arizona resort on April 7.

In his address, the 50-year-old admitted to having “difficult conversations” with his family about the situation and called the talks “positive and productive” without elaborating further.

From there, he shifted focus to the draft, noting that he doesn’t want to “take [attention] away” from it.

“This is an important time for us. … [The players are] starting an amazing journey, one that should be celebrated as we welcome them onto our team.”

As for Russini, 43, she also tried to downplay the snaps at first, telling Page Six, “The photos don’t represent the group of six people who were hanging out during the day. Like most journalists in the NFL, reporters interact with sources away from stadiums and other venues.”

But three eyewitnesses told Page Six they did not see anyone else with the duo, who are both married and share children with other people.

Three days later, news broke that the Athletic had sidelined Russini and launched an investigation into the matter.

On April 14, she resigned from her job, with many people — including Dave Portnoy — claiming that she wouldn’t have done so unless she was “guilty” of something.

Ted Danson’s early romance with Mary Steenburgen included a high-stakes moment at the White House.

Danson, 78, recalled an intense one-on-one with then-President Bill Clinton that centered around the actor’s “intentions” with Steenburgen — a close, personal friend of the Clintons.

“One of the first things she did was take me to meet her dear friends in the White House,” Danson recalled while moderating a History Talks panel alongside Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to Variety. “Bill — Mr. President — took me around the corner, and there were three Secret Service agents behind him, all of them looking at me. The president asked me what my intentions were.”

“My first question is to you, Mr. President: Do you think that was fair?” the “Cheers” star quipped.

“No, but it was effective,” Clinton replied. “And I didn’t think I had to be fair. As it turned out, you became the best thing that ever happened to her.”

The couple met in 1993 while on the set of the movie “Pontiac Moon” and quickly became one of Hollywood’s most-loved couples. They got married in October 1995 in a ceremony on Martha’s Vineyard.

When speaking about their relationship to People in February 2021, Danson explained he knew he had to propose to her because he “couldn’t imagine not being with her at all times.”

“Not to sound corny, but I would sign up for 100 more lifetimes,” Steenburgen told the outlet. “He makes me a better person. He’s a truly beautiful human being. A great big soul. I love how he sees the world and how he cares about people, and he’s deeply hilarious, which is super, super sexy to me, and he smells really nice.”

After years of leading successful careers, Danson and Steenburgen got the opportunity to work together on Netflix’s “Man on the Inside.” Steenburgen joined the cast for season 2 of the comedy as the love interest for Danson’s character.

Steenburgen told People in November 2025 when she found out she had landed the role, “there was a lot of screaming and jumping up and down … because we were so excited to work together.”

“We’re both actors,” Danson told the outlet. “We were trained the same way. We had some really good material to work with. We’d get up every morning giggling about what we get to do.”

“Practical Magic” star Aidan Quinn said he wasn’t asked to be part of the sequel.

Quinn, 67, played detective Gary Hallet in the 1998 film, who was the love interest of Sandra Bullock’s character, Sally Owens.

Both Bullock and Nicole Kidman — who played Gillian Owens — returned for “Practical Magic 2,” and are seen in the trailer that dropped Monday. But Quinn was noticeably absent, despite Gary and Sally ending up together in the original film.

In an interview with SPIN 1038 from February, Quinn said he wasn’t asked to be in “Practical Magic 2,” but said that if he was, he would have been game to reprise his role.

“Of course I would,” he said.

Quinn said he had “lovely” memories of working with Bullock and Kidman.

“They were both great to work with,” he shared. “You know, most of my stuff was with Sandy but they were both phenomenal to work with.”

“We had a good time,” he added.

“Practical Magic 2” revisits the Owens family, a multi-generational family of witches. Judging from the trailer, Sally and Gillian appear to be single.

“Everyone we loves dies,” Sally says.

Gillian adds, “A really horrible death. But it’s just not great for the Tinder bio.”

Stockard Channing and Dianne Wiest are also returning for the sequel, and newcomers include Lee Pace and Joey King.

It’s set to hit theaters on Sept. 11.

Bullock made her Instagram debut last week to promote the film, with her celeb friends overjoyed at her arrival on the app.

Reese Witherspoon commented, “IG just got a lot better 😘,” while Jennifer Aniston wrote, “She’s here! ❤️😘.”

Bullock, 61, also made her red carpet return last week after a four-year hiatus from the spotlight at CinemaCon 2026. She joined Kidman to promote “Practical Magic 2,” wowing in a bright red pantsuit.
