Sally Field is playing matchmaker between her son, Sam Greisman, and Olympic figure skater Adam Rippon.

Greisman, 30, has openly expressed interest in Rippon, 28, on Twitter with many admiring tweets.

“Gonna need a gif of @Adaripp saying he just wants to focus on being America’s Sweetheart for my daily use. Please and thank you,” Greisman posted in one tweet.  “Also marry me Adam.”

In another tweet he posted, “I hate being earnest but an openly, “non-passing”, sassy, beautiful gay 20-something daring America not to love him and becoming the sweetheart of the Olympic Games is very moving to me.” Before adding, “Glad so many people liked this, but if you could slide it into Adam’s DMs that would be great too.”

Greisman posted a screenshot of a text conversation with his mother that showed she was giving him advice to just make a move.

Field didn’t stop there and tagged Rippon to the tweet so he could see Greisman’s interest.

Griesman appeared embarrassed at first tweeting “Yikes” but Field’s other tweet seemed to get him back on board.

“You’re amazing @Adaripp. Your Olympics won’t be about Mike Pence. They will be about your excellence and your grace. And all the young boys and girls you’re inspiring,” Field tweeted.

Greisman gave his approval for that tweet replying, “She’ll do what she has to do. She’s not the worst wing woman.”

Madonna announces release date for new album

Pop icon Madonna on Wednesday announced that her 15th studio album will be released on July 3.

Titled “Confessions II,” the new album is a sequel to 2005’s “Confessions on a Dance Floor,” an Abba and disco-infused hit. 

The new album reunites Madonna with producer Stuart Price, who also helmed the original “Confessions” album. It’s her first album of new material since 2019’s “Madame X.”

“We must dance, celebrate, and pray with our bodies,” Madonna said in a press release. “These are things that we’ve been doing for thousands of years — they really are spiritual practices. After all, the dance floor is a ritualistic space. It’s a place where you connect — with your wounds, with your fragility. To rave is an art. It’s about pushing your limits and connecting to a community of like-minded people,” continued the statement. “Sound, light, and vibration reshape our perceptions. Pulling us into a trance-like state. The repetition of the bass, we don’t just hear it but we feel it. Altering our consciousness and dissolving ego and time.”

By LESLIE GRAY STREETER | I’m always tickled when people complain about artists “going political.” The inherent nature of art, of creation and free expression, is political. This becomes obvious when entire governments try to threaten it out of existence, like in 2025, when the brand-new presidential administration demanded organizations halt so-called diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programming or risk federal funding.

Baltimore Center Stage’s response? A resounding and hearty “Nah.” A year later, they’re still doubling down on diversity.

“Maybe it’s a triple-down,” said Ken-Matt Martin, the theater’s producing director, chuckling.
